means closing bbc two, bbc three, most people's idea of robots bbc four, local radio, some radio networks and probably some other things as well. understand that is are shaped by the robots they see the scale of you are... did you threatened to resign?|j in science fiction, so in a film or tv or video games or music. the scale of you are... did you threatened to resign? i thought about resigning but at that moment i but robots are a bit more thought you've got to get in there real than what we think. and try to stop this, or ameliorate so most children now will grow up what they are proposing to do. it with siri or alexa or some kind of smart helper in their life was very what they are proposing to do. it was very clear very quickly that there was no possibility of stopping and i think in the future that's this. did you make clear to them just going to increase. we're going to have more robotic helpers helping our children that this is a welfare payment and and helping us and increasingly more and more in an everyday basis. that this is a welfare payment and thatis that this is a welfare payment and that is what governments do, not currently on display broadcasters? all those arguments is the exhibition design between human and machine. we re broadcasters? all those arguments were laid out, every single one of those arguments was very highly so rather than robots fought. it was one of the most coming in and replacing us and replacing our jobs, i think the future is a bit more difficult and tense negotiations or of an optimistic one. discussions i have ever had. i don't wa nt to discussions i have ever had. i don't want to repeat it, we ended up after we've got an amazing structure commission that's being specially some more meetings with george built here for v&a dundee and this is all by the idea of humans osborne and the then chairman of the and robots collaborating together bbc trust, running through the to create something amazing and wonderful, and i think that's a bit more what the future will be amelioration which we had run from like, so, slightly less pessimistic them for the over 75 's. one was than what we imagine. i hope. that we would have a license fee
6:22 am
that we would have a license fee that would go up with inflation for the first time in over a decade, secondly, some impost that were on in recent years, dundee has become something of a digital powerhouse. the bbc four broadband and other things were removed, thirdly what was called a digital loophole, that it's synonymous with video games like lemmings, those who were not viewing, rather grand theft auto and yes, minecraft. we re those who were not viewing, rather were viewing online would have to pay the license fee, and what the dundee has the honour, we believe, result of that was, as we worked of being the city in the world including some reform of the over 75 switch is that you had a cash flat with the highest per capita volume of games developers. setting, let me just take you back that's come around for a number of reasons. to that period. cash flat at last it started off back in the 1980s, there was a lot of us programming time was a settlement only achieved away on sinclair spectrums that ifi happened to be made in the city, time was a settlement only achieved if i recall by the nhs, everyone else was taking a hard cut. so from so you could always pick one up ex—factory when they went slightly the point of view of where we were at that time, a majority wrong for less than conservative government, that was really important. we ran our charter they cost in the shops. some amazing video games came out for 11 years with the license fee of the city at that point and that gave a lot of us the inspiration being the method of funding for bbc. to set our own companies up. that was right against all the the world's first video games degree was offered orthodoxy of the people who were here by abertay university coming at us at the time, we have all the way back in 1997, got that and i think that is so we thought we'd check out some important because the bbc now has
6:23 am
of their more recent work. that amount of time, until 2027 to ensure it is in excellent shape. the all in the name of social interaction, of course. fa ct ensure it is in excellent shape. the fact is at the end of that why is abertay university negotiation which you led to the so hot on gaming? bbc, the bbc had a timebomb placed underneath it and that timebomb is so at abertay, all the staff have either previously made video games going onjust a —— going offjust as or we currently make video games you are leaving. you caught a and we are all part of a research timebomb, i say we have come to fair lab called abertay game lab that make really fun, experimental games that push solution which is that those who the boundaries of computer gaming cannot afford to pay the license in different ways. don't have to pay for it. if you are so you've got some other students playing some other on pension credit. those who can of your games over there. afford to pay the license fee... that game was created forgive me for interrupting... that by dr mona bozdog who sloped on with lara. is actually a very fair way. this is now, mona, there are a lot a very painful choice, there are of different games here, hundreds of thousands or millions of all telling interesting, people in this country who love and different stories. support the bbc and have got used to can you tell me a bit about what you've created here. having it for free. yes, so, the game you see support the bbc and have got used to having it forfree. why support the bbc and have got used to having it for free. why are you now is called assembly. actively hurting those people and we're all in dundee and the year saying you have to paper something you have been getting for free? you is 1981 and there's thousands have got to go back and say who is of women in the timex factory responsible for this? this is assembling the first ever computers, something that they majority conservative government put on the so the zx81 and the zx spectrum. bbc. we ameliorated it. let's go forward to the present government. have you been in number ten before these computers changed the face of games.
6:24 am
that's basically a recreation the pandemic to see borisjohnson of the assembly line. dominic cummings before the so we have the women workers trying to assemble the zx spectrum election? no, i saw dominic cummings computers from populating the boards during the election but i have not to actually packaging and shipping the zx spectrums. beenin during the election but i have not been in since then? how did that conversation go during the election? this is a actually a bit of social history here was that... it was before, actually, as well, isn't it? yes, it is. it is what we usually call herstories. because they're the alternative it was an intelligent conversation, histories, they're the hidden figures of the video games industry he asked very good questions about and the video games history, the nature of the bbc and the kind and it was the women who assembled, they were tremendously skilled of journalism that he the nature of the bbc and the kind ofjournalism that he and i would believe in. what was your reaction and they basically brought us when you saw it at —— sunday times the first computers. splashback in february that said number ten would "whack" the bbc?” thought that was completely wrong andi thought that was completely wrong and i wondered whether that would actually, quite who in number ten was saying that, was the prime minister or someone else. do you think it was dominic cummings?” don't know. negotiating with the government is one part of yourjob, another is that what you have done with many other people you work specifically how you have approached the imbalance in pay between men and women at this organisation. were you

shocked when you look at that list and so had dominated it was my men? these were deals which were done before my time, and i am not passing robotic voice: speaking...at... professor annalu waller has any blame. i don't think this has dedicated 30 years of her life to researching technologies been discussed enough in public. to to improve communication for those who have difficulty speaking. what extent did you feel, as someone it's very much like the predictive text on your phone, but, as we saw when we invited who was sorting out something of a her onto the stage... mess, but your hands were tied by robotic voice: ..words... ..it can be a very slow process. contractual negotiations, by legal actually telling a story in real—time is laborious, obligations from before your time?‘ time—consuming. lot, to be frank, and ifelt we were a lot of our focussed sorting out problems which were a generation old. why did it take so communication aids only type 8—10 words a minute. long to sort out the pay?” generation old. why did it take so long to sort out the pay? i think the organisation responded too how on earth do you conduct a real conversation in that speed? slowly, i agree with you on that. but you know, i wish we could have done that faster, but that is a very specific example and i don't want to annalu's team, in partnership go much further than that. let's with cambridge university, look at the talent management that you inherited, and that isjeremy has created a new system that remembers what you've typed before and offers up whole clarkson. why are you laughing?” sentence chunks in one go. likejeremy a clarkson. why are you laughing?” like jeremy a lot, clarkson. why are you laughing?” likejeremy a lot, i think he is a

think bbc four will survive as a linear channel? yes. do you think bbc three will come back?” linear channel? yes. do you think bbc three will come back? i think that comes back a lot —— depends a lot on how things come back after covid. it is a close call. is the bbc actively looking at selling off buildings to raise revenue? what we have learned from covid is that we could do if fewer buildings. did you vote remain? i will not tell you how i vote at any point, i will not tell you how i vote. i thought it was worth a try. what is the editorial and creative highpoint of your tenure? seeing drama flower in the it has done. seeing blue planet change people's behaviour on plastics, seeing news cope with crisis after crisis after crisis with huge aplomb, and that sense of local voice that comes from local radio, i absolutely love. what i will miss, in case you want to ask me, is getting out there on the shop floor with people making programmes,

7:02 am
the default position, tier one, will see schools remaining open, his, saying, highest honour working with all pupils attending full time. with you and getting to know such a but if infection rates locally generous and sincere human being. are considered too high, tougher lockdown measures aimed tier 2 could see secondary pupils at stopping the regional spread of coronavirus will be eased on a part—time rota, in parts of northern spending two weeks in school, england from wednesday. it comes against the wishes of some and at the next two local leaders following a slight weeks working from home. increase in infection rates a more severe response, tier 3, in some areas. would see most secondary pupils so, how do officials decide study at home. where and when to ease or tighten restrictions? followed by tier a, where only children of key workers public health england produces and vulnerable children would attend school. a weekly watch list of council areas seen here in darker red mapping spikes in the disease. the prime minister has made clear his desire to see all pupils so some areas — like blackburn, back in the classroom, but teaching unions say oldham, pendle, leicester the new guidance has been a long—time coming. and parts of west yorkshire — we have been asking for months remain under tighter rules. and months and months, what if schools need to close down whilst most of greater manchester remains under stricter measures, because of lockdown — three boroughs are now leaving them, that's been seen as a kind of act along with other parts of heresy and yet here we are, of lancashire and west yorkshire. the friday night before a bank holiday weekend, the schools are going to open — so is it the right time to ease those restrictions? it really isn't the government's finest hour. we're joined now by andy burnham, we'll make this happen who is the mayor of greater but it is incredibly infuriating, i think, manchester, and also the epidemic specialist, for lots of leaders that professor sian griffiths. here they are now having to respond
7:03 am
to pages of guidance. some pupils have already return. good morning. andy burnham, there is here in leicestershire and scotland, easing in some places and retaining there is much to get used to, and some confusion about whether all the restrictions and other places. members of a pupils bubble, this is going to be very confusing potentially a whole year group, for people who find themselves in would have to self—isolate if a single student tested this broad area of the north of england in the first place.” positive for coronavirus. this broad area of the north of england in the first place. i think so. and this is the challenge of that was what was initially advised, only to be taken off the government website hours later. releasing these restrictions. we had the health secretary matt hancock a situation in greater manchester has warned that further nationwide where it was clear to us that bolton restrictions can't be ruled out and stockport really needed to come should england see a spike in cases out because the position there was much better than a few weeks ago. of this winter, but the message from the government but trafford was much more finely this winter, but the message from the government balanced and we erred on the side of is that they are preparing caution, the leader of the council for the worse while doing everything they can was clear, felt with the school is to avoid it happening. simon jones, bbc news. coming back we should take more let's speak now to our political correspondent, ellie price, whojoins us time. the worry for us is not so much how this decision was reached from our london newsroom. but what decision, more how. they we re a couple of things about the latest but what decision, more how. they were against us and effectively have imposed their decision with minimal advice, one is the timing, a lot of people upset it has come so late and consultation on trafford council. we the other specific elements removed
7:04 am
late in the day about what to do if think that imposition of decisions like this without agreement or there is a case in a school. this negotiation is absolutely the wrong way to go. with the health secretary was a paragraph taken out late last warning today of extensive lockdown night. bear in mind the guide itself is through the rest of the year, was only published last night. a council should be worried. this has to be in partnership between published which said what to do if a national and local government. we student came down with the virus. it cannot have these decisions imposed suggested the whole year group, in this way. this decision is not taken at local level? no, we made potentially the whole bubble, would have to go home and self isolate. our recommendations and it is a difficultjudgment. we spent lots of the paragraph was later deleted. time discussing it on wednesday. we some clarification this morning from came to the view that bolton and the department for education. it was incorrect that a whole bubble or stockport were in a much clearer classroom should isolate if one position. trafford was still in the pupil tested positive instead there borderline, on a knife edge. and we felt with schools coming back it was right to airon felt with schools coming back it was —— their household would have to right to air on the side of caution. we recommend that only bolton and self isolate. i think for critics, stockport release. we also this is another example of the recommended that businesses such as beauty salons, bowling alleys, government showing a lack of clarity, having published something casinos, should be allowed to open and then changing its mind. we heard all over greater manchester because there is no evidence that spread is
7:05 am
happening in those places. the from the teaching union complaining about the timing of all this. i government did not accept that, either. i am saying to the health would suspect they would now be secretary today that we need a much worried about the clarity as well. better process for agreeing these things. the government had given a role to members of parliament who, matt hancock talking about in the in my view, are bringing political event of a new spike what might considerations to this. these decisions should be driven by public happen. he was talking about what he health alone, not politics. let's go described as a reasonable worst—case scenario which is said there would to professor sian griffiths on that theme. you have been looking in be extensive local lockdowns and he detail at some of the places and the could not rule out there being a numbers that andy burnham was referring to. help us with some of national lockdown as well. that is this in terms of what the science something the government is desperate to avoid but he said that and what your knowledge of the is something they necessarily cannot statistics tells us about what the do. this is few days before schools picture is a. process we are now are due to return and of course that engaging in is a new process, obviously, because we haven't been drive yesterday to get more people back to the office and back to work. on the situation before. we looked critics will again accuse the at the epidemiology, the numbers of cases in all the different local government of mixed messaging but at least it shows the government in authority areas. so any area that this very difficult position. on the gets above 28 per 100,000 can go on one hand the concern about the virus a watch list. and —— 28 per 100,000.
7:06 am
transmitting and on the other getting back to some kind of new then it becomes an area of concern than an area of intervention. then normal. what do you do in areas of concern a rescue boat issued by banksy has or intervention or areas on the watchlist? that has to be a local issued an sos. the german flag said response because local people need to understand that around them the cases are going up. you see the it was overcrowded and unable to move with at least one dead on directors of public health starting board. the vessel had earlier to talk to local communities, rescued another 89 people from a reaching out in a variety of ways, rubber boat on thursday. talking to local workplaces, warning people that the rates are going up. chadwick boseman, obviously once it comes to the actor who played the lead role intervention that involves closures, in the hugely successful black panther film, has died changing the way we interact with at the age of a3. our neighbours, our families, changing the way we interact with our neighbours, ourfamilies, people not coming in and out of our houses. his family say he had colon cancer, which had been diagnosed in 2016. all those sorts of issues. the key the black panther movie was widely seen as a cultural here, i would agree with andy burnham comic that you really need milestone for having a largely black cast and a black director. to get local engagement. because you can put all sorts of rules in place he was already a considerable start but unless people comply with the here in hollywood but he was a man guidance we will not control this disease. i think it really has to be seen as having enormous potential in
7:07 am
a balance between national and local the field industry, having signed a five picture deal with marvel to and the government are instituting play black panther. that was a film this new institute of health and protection. they have a joint that was a breakthrough in many ways bio—security units, they have public here, not least because it had a health england, which will be predominantly black crew and cast. absorbed into this new organisation. it was also the first superhero i really hope this new organisation movie to be nominated for a best will put a big emphasis on local areas and local decision—making picture oscar but in april of this because it isn'tjust what year, there was a video of chadwick areas and local decision—making because it isn't just what we areas and local decision—making because it isn'tjust what we do in our local schools or a local boseman on social media in which he workplaces, it is how do we get looked quite thin and that prompted people to comply in their everyday speculation from son dash because lives, going in and out of houses you never talked about his treatment and gardens? an important time while that he might be preparing for some sort of film role and losing weight we break the chain of command. the key thing is we must have rapid because of that. it has emergencies testing available. when you move up that he felt some of his most famous the chain of intervention, more roles, roles for which he will be testing does become available, we have to make sure the testing is best remember, was undergoing available to communities who have surgery and chemotherapy. —— not necessarily come forward, that they understand why it is important to get tested, and results come back
7:08 am
quickly and are accurate. professor, you mention to schools, which is the remembered. new thing for england, particularly, that kicks in this week. we are calling these local lockdown is, and the health secretary has said we travellers arriving should expect more of them. in terms into the uk from switzerland, the czech republic and jamaica must now quarantine for two weeks, of the science, how accurate can a after new rules came into force at aam this morning. local lockdown beat? because the the government says the move is needed to keep the uk's street to street, some people might infection rates down. be thinking, how can you define it meanwhile cuba, where there has been a drop in cases, to that extent when people has been added to the list inevitably, and with skills they of destinations people can return will be moving from place to place? from without needing to self—isolate. there has to be some sort of police in australia will start beach patrols today to enforce coronavirus restrictions, as lifeguards return to duty at the end of winter. assimilation and understanding of warm weather in sydney is expected the figures. you would need to know to draw large crowds to the coast. if children from one electoral ward our australia correspondent, phil mercer we re if children from one electoral ward were going to school in another. you joins us now. would need to understand what that temperatures expected to reach the meant in terms of parents gathering mid— 20s, hurray, after a relatively at the school gates, etc. each of these steps is important in controlling the disease. we cannot chilly winter. many australians keen to get back to the beach and the be absolutely accurate. the numbers water although it will be 16 degrees are sort of within a range and if into the ocean. police are pleading with people to maintain their the rates go up within a range we need to take a certain action, but
7:09 am
distance. they remember back in all the time we need to evaluate the march when thousands of people, for impact of that action, see if that example, crowded onto bondi beach, is appropriate, see if it has the required impact. so this is a flouting covid—19 regulations process of learning, learning with enforcing that beach and many others local implementation, public health to be close. what we are seeing, the measures, what works best, what we need to keep doing particularly as we move into the winter when we police, council rangers and lifeguards urging people to be 1.5 expect rates to go up. andy burnham, we have had guidance from the government about schools, given we tamme length apart from each other have mentioned that. in some ways it —— tower length. a grips can be seems pretty clear. the key message being that schools will stay open. fine. groups of not more than 20. —— if they do have to close they will keep them on a rota basis so groups can be fine. in victoria, secondary school pupils will do two weeks in skill, two weeks home—schooling, and it will be there has been a total lockdown. the primary skills that will be the very latest figure there for the first last to be closed if an outbreak is time since earlyjuly recording a serious enough in a local area. fewer than 100 new daily infections. how confident are you? lots of pa rents how confident are you? lots of parents will be interested in this. 18 people died overnight so serious how confident are you that greater problems remain but there is a manchester schools will be open feeling that tough lockdown through the autumn term? the restrictions in melbourne and more guidance does seem fairly clear, to broadly in the state of victoria are be fair. it was very late. it came
7:10 am
bringing down those infections in that particular state and the rest out at 7:30pm on friday before a of australia is opening victoria can bank holiday. the return of skills continue to maintain the outbreak. was always a massive moment in our you would have thought a surfboard handling of this crisis. why is the government doing this again, putting out guidance so late so head apart ora you would have thought a surfboard apart or a paddleboard apart. your teachers don't have time to prepare? thinking a towel could be of that has been one feature we have different lengths... a hand towel a lwa ys that has been one feature we have always seen, lake guidance. it also this lack of local consultation. i'm laughter. that is very small. we're very pleased to hear what the professor had to say. —— nick out talking about paddle boarding this late guidance. we have to negotiate what lies ahead in the autumn and morning. paddleboard have found winter. if government listens to local leaders, they know their communities. it wasn't just boards hijacked by very friendly local leaders, they know their communities. it wasn'tjust in greater manchester where they overruled us. in bradford, communities were split there. some seals. locals who have been are still under restrictions, some feeding her have named her sally, and say she spent 5 days harassing are still under restrictions, some are not. you then have the situation where some people on one half of the water sports enthusiasts in ludham this week after taking up residence street are under restrictions and others are not. councils know their in a kayak at a nearby boatyard. she was eventually lured away from the area by local wildlife communities best and the government has got to work much better with officials, for her own safety. them, as well as fixed this nhs test so she gives paddleboarding
7:11 am
the ‘seal of approval‘ it would seem. and trace system. it is not good enough at the moment. testing is not good enough, the tracing is not good enough. but that under the controls of councils, as well. we are not where we need to be going into the idid not i did not write that. i ignored it autumn and winter without a vaccine, and these things urgently need to be completely. live paddle boarding addressed. my main message this morning is to the government. you later on this morning at around must not impose these things from london when you are going to affect communities in this way, it must be 9:50am. iam later on this morning at around 9:50am. i am assuming people will by negotiation and agreement and that needs to be the core principle fall off paddle assuming, hoping. we agree on before we go any further into the rest of what will be a you are not going to be involved but difficult year. professor, ifi may we are sending holy out. all the ask for a thought from you more weather and sport coming a little widely. there has been a great deal of reassurance coming out from the later on. scientific and medical community in after an extended summer break like no other, relation to children going back to millions of school children across england, wales, and northern ireland are spending school. that starts next week in the weekend preparing to return england. do you want to just remind to the classroom. the prime minister says re—opening schools safely us of what the science is telling us is a moral duty, but for some pupils and their parents, about the risk to children in a safety remains a concern. school environment? the science to our education correspondent, danjohnson, has been putting some kids ina of their questions to school environment? the science to kids in a school environment is that it isa kids in a school environment is that it is a low transmission risk. if
7:12 am
they do get sick, it is at low... virologist, calum semple. the disease does not seem to be very serious for them. the risk of the iama i am a father of four and next week, infection are outweighed by the need three of my children will be going for the social interaction, the to school. i am a mum of two. i have psychological support of being at school, being part of their nicholas who is 11 he was going to community, and of course their secondary for the first time and education. so the risk to the of ellie here is going into year 9. many parents have questions ahead of infection in childhood are less than the new school year. this one is the risk of missing out on skill. going back into anything and this professor sian griffiths, thank you. andy burnham, mayor of manchester, one is transitioning into senior school with her twin sister who was thank you for your time this not in the room and another little morning. 8:a3am. time for some sport. a big day for men's and boy who is going to a school in oxy women's football. it does feel it so boy who is going to a school in oxy so for kids in different schools. my wasn't that long ago that we were son will be going back to school in talking about that never—ending season coming to an end. september. some have got further to in fact — it's only been 3a days since the fa cup final — travel than others. we are in spain and it's not been much of a break but english football at the moment, visiting my elderly is already back. as ususal it starts mother and when we fly back next with the community shield. so that's the fa cup winners arsenal tuesday on september first, we will and the premier league champions liverpool.
7:13 am
their managerjurgen klopp was asked if he had any concerns have to quarantine for 1a days which about the season being affected means erin will miss the first week again by the pandemic. of school. pupils also have we are just happy that we can play questions. next wednesday i'm going again, and that's how we have to approach the whole season. back to school... the expert do not the time is still uncertain have all the answers but ours for all of us, not only promised to do his best.|j have all the answers but ours in football but in football, promised to do his best. i have as well, the situation is not sorted worked with nasty viruses since the where we are all living in, and so we should not deal with it 19805. what worked with nasty viruses since the 1980s. what is the scale of like it is sorted. transmission and how does it we have to show responsibility increase as you get older? you're for a lot of people in the world, looking at 20,000 school, they found in the countries, and in the club. the women's community shield 101 events. they classified 30 as returns this afternoon for the first time in 12 years. outbreaks. that means two or more manchester city against chelsea takes place at wembley ahead people affected in the school. 15 of the men's match and will be the first professional women's football to be we re people affected in the school. 15 were staff to staff, teacher to played since lockdown. despite not playing competitively for nearly six months, teacher while the other 15 events, i chelsea boss emma hayes think seven were staff to pupil and says her team are ready to go. from the other direction, pupil to staff 606 out of 30 outbreaks out of the players are training on a regular basis,
7:14 am
in both environments, with top places on a daily basis. we have had the opportunity to play in preseason games, both in—house and against opponents. i think it has come 20,000. that is very rare compared at a really, really good time and we are very well to what happens in pubs. with all prepared for it. the winter bugs that are going to and you can watch that match live on bbc one this afternoon. hit us, the normal colds, flu et kick—off‘s at 12:30. cetera, how are we going to we'll have more on the limited differentiate what is a normal cough return of supporters at football and cold what could potentially be today in just a moment — it comes after rugby fans covid? i do not know how doctors are were allowed back into stadiums going to tell them apart either. in scotland for the first time since march last night. there is no way you can look at a around 700 people were inside murrayfield to watch child at the end of a bed or is the match between edinburgh and glasgow warriors. on the pitch it was a easy win for the away side, called and tell whether it is covid who were victors by 15 orflu. there is no magic way of points to three. the weather was the only telling that and here is where we winner at old trafford are going to have trouble with these with england's opening t20 international against pakistan abandoned because of rain. bubbles in school because schools are set up with bubbles and some of before the showers came, tom banton impressed for england, them saying they will send everyone his 71 came offjust a2 balls and included 5 sixes. home when you get a positive case so it is inevitable, come october, that england had reached 131—6 when
7:15 am
little johnny is going the rain arrived, calling it is inevitable, come october, that littlejohnny is going to get a snotty nose and a cold and you're an early end to the match. the second game of the series going to send the whole school home. and then somebody else comes up with takes place tomorrow. a cold. what are the public stats after three days of mounting tension in the us which saw athletes relating to children under the age and teams protesting the police shooting of a black of16? relating to children under the age man in wisconsin, of 16? we looked at 69 500 children. the nba has announced the play—offs will resume later. we have 650 children which is a matches will now get back under way following the what the nba tiny, tiny percentage of that. those describe as "candid, impassioned and productive conversations" with players admitted to hospital, six died. so and coaches over the next steps and action in support we're talking about 1% of those that of racial equality. went to hospitals were children and we all needed to take a breath. you know, we needed 196 a moment to breathe. went to hospitals were children and 1% of those died. in the scale of it is not lost on me that risk, it is vanishingly small. there george floyd did not get has been updated guidance on wearing that moment, you know, but we did and we took it face coverings in local lockdown and the players took it, areas. people who might be my age or and they got to refocus younger might not feel the same or
7:16 am
on the things that they wanted constricted a face mask, but i think the experience varies from person to to focus on outside of theirjobs. person. can i ask, do you think naomi osaka was among those to add her voice people are wearing face masks, they to the condemnation, would assume they are safe and but after almost pulling out protected and therefore might drop of the western & southern open she's into the final where she'll face their guard with regard to social victoria azarenka, who beat johanna konta in the semis — ending her great run this week. distancing and hand washing? well, i she took the opening do think that if more people were set from the two—time grand slam champion. face masks they might just start but after aza renka levelled losing the importance of the other in the second, the british number aspects like social distancing and one couldn't get herself back into the match, eventually hand washing, like personalised, it losing the third set 6—1. is so important, sojust having the it's been months of empty choice to wear a face mask all the seats and sound effects instead of live crowds — time is making people feel a bit but today football fans will make their return safer. something i have noticed with my youngest who is 11 is he takes to a premier league stadium. his mask off like that other than around 2,500 supporters are allowed into brighton's amex stadium behind the ears. i think in that for the preseason game against chelsea, as part of the government's latest safety respect sometimes the mask comes tests for sporting venues. mood, i think with the younger ones it is more difficult. the answers let's speak now to brighton
7:17 am
fan brett mendoza, who will be at the match. are becoming clearer but there is still so much to get used to for i've got this image of you pressing this new school year. fingers your football shirt, getting the crossed. skies laid out on the bed this let's stay on the subject morning. how are you feeling about of returning to school and bring some live football this afternoon?” in our gp, who this morning is dr sarah jarvis. can't wait, it's exciting. it's nice to talk to you. thatjust something that's a bit normal. we have been away for so long now and illustrates the confusion around this and the different scenarios that might pop up, but let's address we've been there as a cardboard cutout but now we can do it for real first of all that issue, if a child andl cutout but now we can do it for real and i cannot wait! i suppose the thing is, the pandemic has not gone presents with coronavirus symptoms or tests positive, are you clear away. do you have any concerns at all about that? there is always that about how the school should respond, lingering doubt in the back of the are we looking at holy year groups mind but the club seem to have done being sent home, or what? this really well and everyone is interestingly i have brought exactly the subject up with the deputy chief really spaced out. it is the first medical officer on thursday because i know he has been concerned about tentative steps to get back to what it too and i think what we need to everyone loves doing. i know i am a bearin it too and i think what we need to bear in mind is depending on what bright and fun but football fans year you are bear in mind is depending on what yearyou are in bear in mind is depending on what year you are in the bubbles are going to be very difficult. the fact around the world, or even england, different. if you have prime no matter who they support, they all schoolchildren it will be relatively wa nt no matter who they support, they all want this to happen. it is a easily to keep them in one classroom privilege to be part of the first and one bubble of around 30 people. steps to make this work. it does
7:18 am
feel like normality. what the first thing we need to remember correspondence have you had with the is you are absolutely right, as a gp club? have they been in touch about i can't possibly tell you if you rules and regulations, what to do have coronavirus, especially if you area have coronavirus, especially if you are a child because as we have when you get there? yeah, they sent out e—mails. they are advising heard, children so vanishingly rarely get severe illness, it will everybody to go by car so you are bea rarely get severe illness, it will be a runny nose if that, or a bit of limiting contact with other people a cough and fever. possibly not the to the ground. where your face mask runny nose but certainly the cough. in the concourse, you don't have to if we then test the child may turn wear it in your seat which is nice. out to be positive, then we need to that is something that will be good ta ke out to be positive, then we need to take action. i think what public because it will be quite hard to sit health england are saying is, get in there with a mask on for a couple of touch with us, because in a class it hours. other than that it looks may be that they will send the really good and i cannot wait to primary school class home, in an stop they will be 2000 fans allowed in today. this is a with a capacity older children's group, if they are of over30,000. wearing for instance face coverings in today. this is a with a capacity of over 30,000. what do you think in the corridors and if they are not the atmosphere will be like? spending that much time in close i don't think there will be too much because you aren't really allowed to contact with each other, they may not have to close down such a big sing. it is a pre—season friendly number of children. but it will have but obviously there will be the to be done on a case—by—case basis, excitement of people that have been away for months actually getting and primary school probably is very back to football. everyone will be different —— different from secondary school. but let's remind happy, there will be a happy atmosphere but may be not allowed ourselves that the vast majority of one. we had you on before, we were
7:19 am
children in primary school are going talking about the cardboard cut to get it from their parents, and outs. this isn't you but this is an the cases involved there were very, example of what has been in the stands up until now. you have a very low in that big study by public health england which by the end of season ticket. are you worried you will have to kick yourself of your it included up to 1.5 million children. i have children by their own seat? i want to take it home primary school and secondary school with me! it will be nice to sit soi primary school and secondary school so i red their return to school there again. i don't know when it policies for both. i also know that will be. it will be a tough time for one secondary school is operating in the players. not much of a break for a very different way to another which is why it is almost impossible them. there will be a lot of to have a kind of template for how pressure today. it is a friendly but you deal with these scenarios. but i how are you feeling about seeing it? think in terms of what we as parents do, when that child comes back in i can't wait. we have a couple of septemberfrom do, when that child comes back in september from school with a sniffle, or a bit new silent film of the signings. ben september from school with a sniffle, ora bit of september from school with a sniffle, or a bit of a sore throat, which is almost inevitable isn't it, white is back from his loan spell andl white is back from his loan spell when everyone gets back together and i can't wait to see him.” again, are we supposed to keep them white is back from his loan spell and i can't wait to see him. i am looking forward to seeing you in at home? no, i don't think you are your seat, with yourself. enjoy it, supposed to keep them at home because, that was another subject i and most importantly keep a safe. raised. what they are looking at is yes, thank you. i'm really looking the possibility, firstly we need to get them tested as soon as they have forward to seeing this afternoon. it will be interesting to see what some fever, cough, new continuous cough, in other words not just of the fans have to say. it feels a fever, cough, new continuous cough, in other words notjust getting up in the morning and clearing your

throat, or a loss of or change to bit like a taste of normality but your sense of smell. a child may the pandemic is so are still there have coronavirus if they have just a but hopefully there will be sufficient social distancing and runny nose or if they have just a masks in place. a bit of normality. sore throat, but is less likely if they haven't got a cough or fever, we are not quite clear, still when our rugby union fans allowed to be back in? we are seeing so much waiting for guidance, and i pushed by be back in? we are seeing so much rugby at the moment and it is a the definitive medical officer again shame not to be there. they had the about this a few days ago because we scenes at murrayfield and some were need clarity. what we are looking at allowed in. that's right, last night. it was only 700 which is a for more poorly children, if they go tiny amount. we saw those pictures of them sitting in the stands and it into a&e, is to run a panel of looks a bit of a lonely place to be tests, where you can test for but i'm sure some of them will be in rhinovirus which is the common cold virus which causes the cold or other full voice trying to compensate all kinds of coronavirus, all of these the same. thank you very much, see other viruses which cause other you later. 8:51am. we ought to get the weather. it was a bank holiday. colds, or coming up in the next couple of months, the flu, which can it's not looking sensational, fairto fair to say. depends as ever where affect children as well, and that they really need to get sorted before we get into flu season. as you look. it was a glorious start in some spots in the west. a raft of you say, look for those specific really lovely pictures beside this symptoms associated with coronavirus. i know that there has one on the river clifton in devon.

7:24 am
to laverne antrobus. if you have any question you'd meellor about it. like to ask, any concerns that you have about your children, email them over to bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk she's hula—hooping her way across the lake district, or tweet @bbcbreakfast and wants to make it to the top and we will ask them for you. it can be quite an anxious time, no of all 21a peaks within the lake district national park. question. it is 7:23am. despite the unpredictable weather here's phil avery with a look she's completed 7a so far — at this morning's weather. and has filmed herself don't tell us that doesn't look like along the way. music: linked by george georgia. a lovely —— lovely late august morning. you are right, you want to have taken up weather as your speciality. a picture tells part of the tail, it is very settled and lovely over on the riviera, that is sa lfo rd. lovely over on the riviera, that is salford. not quite in the league of where we were last year, cambridge got up to 33 celsius, that was last yea r‘s late summer got up to 33 celsius, that was last year's late summer bank holiday. if it is indeed a bank holiday with you, this late summer, 18 degrees, what a contrast. yes there will still be some sunshine, yes, they will be some dry weather and i make the point of charlie showing you out of his window in salford because if charlie and i were both saying that you look a little further towards the east, it is a bit of a different looks amazing. the filming is
7:25 am
story, it is a really windy start fantastic. charlie, did you do all that yourself? i had a bit of help andi story, it is a really windy start and i have already shown you how cool it will be, it will also be along the way it. not entirely called by night but there is a lot surprised. what a skill you have. of dry weather, is not a write by this is just surprised. what a skill you have. this isjust a hobby, right? this is any means at all. it is mainly dry not what you do professionally. no, because the low pressure has given no, no. this is my bet on the side. us because the low pressure has given us such a variety of weather, he how did you get into hula—hooping in says trying to soften the blow of the last couple of days, is still close by and we have had dribs and the first place? it is complex. drabs of rain over the course of the night. but i think many of you will well, i used to go to classes in manchester. i went to one a week but give it way to a dry start. there are showers across the north of i had been doing it religiously in between them. i got quite good. just scotland, one or two through the irish sea, and later we will return to be clear, you don't hula—hoop on some cloud and rain and strong winds into the eastern side of england, your way up as you are walking particularly along with that gusty wind, a0 or50 miles an along, the challenge is that you get particularly along with that gusty wind, a0 or 50 miles an hour or so, and is the reason it is coming in up along, the challenge is that you get up there and do it no matter what the weather and you just do it from the north, that i am not going anyway? now, i don't hula-hoop on to spoil you with 33 degrees. 12—18 the way up. i attach it to a race should just about cover the bases. that rain will be down and through vest, it coils down, so it gets the area of wembley, not so much for quite compact. i look like a turtle. the area of wembley, not so much for the women this afternoon but
7:26 am
certainly for the man later on, i you are getting some attention from think you will have a wet match a dog, it was that your dog, do you there. in the skies begin to clear work with the dog? yes, i've usually through many central and western areas, hence the single figures, you got two dogs with me. there is keep the cloud and when towards the sometimes one but, yeah, they like east, that is where you stay in the hoop. i imagine you get some double figures through east anglia in the south—east. we had that shield of cloud to start your day passes by. do you get people giving tomorrow, but thankfully eventually evenin you slightly odd looks as you do tomorrow, but thankfully eventually even in the east, the winds begin to your thing? all the time! ease off and many areas have got a occasionally i have had some people stop to have a look. you can see decent dry day if you are out and them in the background, just about. but a high—end day of only 18 staring. sometimes people go, oh, i degrees, back to you. —— high in the follow you on twitter! i chat to them, as well. it's really day. interesting stuff ease out several european countries spectacular performances and the are re—imposing travel restrictions and increasing safety measures wind is your biggest problem, is it, as they try to tackle a surge if you are on the top of these in new coronavirus infections. i know france has been a particular peaks? definitely! the wind just problem. there was a 15% pick up snatches the hoop out of your hand and quite often you can see it in the number of cases in europe this week, compared through many of my videos where it to the previous seven—day period. the higest rise in has just taken it down the hill! cases was in italy. they've doubled, with more through many of my videos where it hasjust taken it down the hill! you than 1,000 new cases have to run back down, retrieve it, on average per day. run back up again. totally. all the the average number of daily cases in france now stands at a,000,
7:27 am
which is a a5% rise. way down! i'm no expert in hula—hooping but traditionally i think people think about it around and after getting control of the pandemic after its initial your waist. quite a lot of hip wave of infections, spain is now struggling to control movement. yours involves a lot of a rise in cases. our involvement, as well. yeah, so it's become the first european this style is more known as hoop country to pass a00,000 infections, as our correspondent dance. it's a bit more freestyle. it is linking different tricks together guy hedgecoe reports. to form a dance, essentially. the challenge we have for you now is aaah! a... do you have a hula—hoop with you right now, and are you able to a new testing campaign run by the show us something while you are local government and aiming to talking to us? i do indeed. here is identify asymptomatic carriers of your opportunity, go for it! there coronavirus gets under way in a clinic in madrid. many areas of it is, just behind her. spain, such as catalonia and the basque country have seen a there we are. do you want to talk us resurgence of covid—19 this summer. through the specific movements? what the people waiting to be tested here either technical terms? i'm in the capital are aware that in through the specific movements? what recent days their city has been more either technicalterms? i'm not entirely sure i can do that. affected than any other. there is a
7:28 am
lot of people, we don't know —— that hula—hooping is not one of our speciality is. it looks really impressive, though. there is are asymptomatic, so we don't know something quite serene about seeing if they have the virus. translation: lam afraid. if they have the virus. translation: i am afraid. i am here with my daughters so they can do the test that. we have lost our communication because they are going back to school. i am afraid. the lifting of with you. back in the room. i'm not sure if you can hear us now. good restrictions in latejune has meant that in many spaniards cases, have been able to have something like a luck with the next of your normal summer. not everyone has challenges. we wish you well. thank you so much. something surreal about followed the guidelines regarding social distancing. and the all that. not just me? you so much. something surreal about all that. notjust me? brilliant. no. i loved it. what else would we obligatory use of face masks in public places. this second wave is be doing on a bank holiday saturday? com pletely public places. this second wave is completely different from the first wave that we had in march and april. if you see shyla to give her away from. she is amazing. stay with us — headlines coming up. it is not reaching those high numbers of cases per day. any asymptomatic people are being diagnosed because of case tracing and it is mostly affecting only young people. with a national lockdown no longer in place,
7:29 am
specific areas where covid—19 has been spreading have been applying their own restrictions. this town with aooo their own restrictions. this town with a000 inhabitants is one such case. in the middle of august the number of coronavirus cases here in villamlea suddenly some decline. by the time it reached 100 infections, good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. local authorities decided to our headlines today... reintroduce some of the restrictions new advice for schools on what to do if there's a covid outbreak we had already been in place across in their local area. teachers say it should have been spain earlier this year. and that has meant telling people they need to stay indoors where possible and published much earlier. it has also meant that roads like this one leading in and out of villamalea have been shut down in i think there will be a sense recent days. translation: we have of frustration this bank holiday weekend that work that could have been done previously is now already had experience of a lockdown, i know that it works. when being left, as always, to the very last minute. we have had a lockdown, things get chadwick boseman, the star of the ground—breaking super—hero better but it is difficult. earlier movie black panther, has died at the age of a3. back so soon? english football returns... liverpool face arsenal in the premier league's this year, spaniards were left traditional curtain raiser — the community shield —
7:30 am
reeling by the impact of just four weeks after coronavirus. but as covid—19 looms the end of last season. hello, good morning. once again, the hope is that the there really shouldn't be too much of this sort of thing country is better prepared to face going on through this weekend. but is it going to be completely dry? is the wind abating? it. i'll have all the answers to your guy hedgecoe, bbc news. questions in just a few minutes. all eyes on those numbers wherever you are in europe or around the 01:30:24,946 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 world. headlines coming up. it's saturday 29th august. our top story. after months of growing pressure, the government has published contingency plans for schools in england in the event of a local outbreak of coronavirus. the guidance includes a four—stage set of responses — which will all prioritise keeping primary school pupils in school full—time. the default position — tier1 — would see schools remaining open, with all pupils attending full time. but if infection rates locally are considered too high, tier 2 — could see secondary pupils on a part—time rota, spending two weeks in school, and the next two weeks working from home.
7:31 am
a more severe response, tier 3, would see most secondary pupils studying at home. followed by tier a — where only children of key workers this and vulnerable children would attend school. let's get more now from our education correspondent, dan johnson, who joins us from south east london. dan, how has this guidance been received? a couple of things spring to mind, those classifications seem straightforward and clear but there is criticism about how late in the day that advice is coming and that some bits that were there were then removed specific to what happens in a school if there is a case of coronavirus. absolutely, this was guidance, this was plan b that head teachers had been asking for but i think they wanted it a little bit earlier than 7:30pm on a friday night ahead of a bank holiday
7:32 am
weekend, head of more children going back into classrooms in england probably next tuesday or wednesday and this guidance does cover two main scenarios. the implications of further restrictions on the local area and also how schools should respond to a positive case within the school. that is the other detail that has been given here but even that has been given here but even that has been given here but even that has not been clear from what the department for education announced last night, he has then had to add further clarification this morning so exasperation from head teachers that this guidance has come again so late and still isn't clear. here is one leader of head teachers unions. we know we have to open schools and colleges more widely next week, we have been asking for months and months what if schools need to close down because of lockdown. that has been seen as an act of heresy and yet here we are, the friday night before a bank holiday weekend, schools are going to open, it really isn't the government's finest hour. we will
7:33 am
make it happen but it is incredibly infuriating for a lot of leaders that here they are, now happening to respond to pages of guidance. the emphasis here is on trying to keep schools open as much as possible for as long as they can to stop any further disruption to learning, but just to give you an idea of exactly how this guidance has changed, even just in the last 12 hours, what was issued last night by the department for education said, if the cases confirmed, local public health officials will work with the school to ta ke officials will work with the school to take appropriate measures, including asking all members of a people's bubble to isolate for 1a days. any secondary school, that bubble is likely be potentially hundreds of children, a whole year group, certainly more than one class, so that could very quickly bring huge disruption to a school and possibly affect teachers to are teaching more than one class as well. but this morning the department for education has removed that paragraph, and this is what it is pointing to instead. it says, any member of staff who have helped
7:34 am
someone with symptoms and any pupils who have been in close contact with them do not need to go home to self—isolate, unless they develop symptoms themselves or if the symptomatic person subsequently tests positive. there is new wording about peoples who have been in close contact with someone who tests positive, how are they going to define that? is that a different definition from the bubbles that head teachers are organising children into next week? it is becoming clearer that head teachers are going to have to work more of this out and they are going to have to be prepared forfurther disruption to learning this year, whether that is through cases in their own school or responding to local restrictions that may have an impact on how many children can be in at one time. chadwick boseman, the actor who played the lead role in the hugely successful black panther film, has died at the age of a3. his family say he had colon cancer,
7:35 am
which had been diagnosed in 2016. paul hawkins looks back at his life. which had been diagnosed in 2016. his death will come as a shock to many. chadwick boseman never spoke publicly about his four—year battle with colon cancer, continuing to film movies between operations and chemotherapy. it makes his role in the 2018 landmark superhero film black panther even more remarkable. set in the fictional african country of wakanda, it was the first hollywood blockbuster with a black superhero, directed by an african—american, with a mainly black cast. it was hailed for its diversity. it's not as... culturally, like, significant as president obama being president... but it does have a similar feeling, that people take it for granted now — they have little kids who think that's normal. it was the film which made boseman a household name, and came after acclaimed roles asjames brown in get on up... something at stake here.
7:36 am
..and baseball pioneer jackie robinson in a2 — ironically the 28th of august was jackie robinson day in the us. most recently, he starred in netflix vietnam film da five bloods, directed by spike lee, and has one more film to be released — an adaptation of the play ma rainey‘s black bottom by august wilson. people think that he hadn't done a lot, but he actually had done a lot. he had done television even before he came to the big screen. he did cold case, he did csi: new york. he did third watch. he had a lot of guest starring roles and smaller roles in television before he was able to leap over into the big screen. but it's black panther that chadwick boseman will be best known for. he died on the same day as the birthday of jack kirby — the man who created the superhero. paul hawkins, bbc news. a rescue boat funded by the british artist, banksy, has issued a call for immediate assistance after picking up more

legs and had to be given life—saving treatment. he'll be awarded the dicken medal later this year. that brings us to eight minutes past nine. "an absolute last resort" — that's how the education secretary, gavin williamson, has described new plans which could see secondary schools apply a "rota system", if a local lockdown is enforced in areas of england. school leaders have welcomed the guidance, but have criticised the timing of the announcement, which comes just days before millions of pupils return to school. let's speak now to the conservative mp robert halfon, who is chair of the education select committee. a very good morning to you, thank you for your time this morning. it is probably important to start with the positive parts of their switches eve ryo ne the positive parts of their switches everyone agrees it is good that schools in england, and i know elsewhere in the uk, they are back in different parts of the uk, it is a good thing that children are getting back to school and that is a
7:39 am
positive in itself. first of all, i just want to thank all the teachers and support staff in schools across the country, who are doing everything possible under very difficult circumstances to try and get the children and pupils back to school, i think it is incredibly important. we know that despite the effo rts important. we know that despite the efforts of schools and teachers, millions of children, for one reason or another, have not been learning and potentially we face an epidemic of educational poverty, particularly for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, so must get our children back to school and i welcome the measures taken by the teachers. i hope that the guidance is enough now for the schools, even though it has come some days before schools reopen next week. you will be aware that unions, head teachers, have already made the point that you referred to there, why is it on a
7:40 am
friday evening ahead of a bank holiday, the week before the schools are opening, that they get this detailed advice they have been asking about for so long? well, i don't know why that decision was made. i am don't know why that decision was made. iam not don't know why that decision was made. i am not in government. it is better that it is there. i appreciate it is incredibly difficult for teachers and support staff, because it hasjust difficult for teachers and support staff, because it has just come out. maybe the government had eight late last minute science advice from the world health organization, i do not know. but the important thing is that advice has been welcomed. it isn't just about the guidance. what i think the government need to do is if there is a local lockdown and if children are staying at home, there needs to be a clear plan as to how much they are going to learn, how computers are going to be provided at home and the online learning they are supposed to do, because we could not have a situation where children in lockdown at home, for one reason or another, are not doing hardly any
7:41 am
learning or having much contact with teachers or support staff. the hope of course is that these scenarios, where you have a case in the school, will not happen, but crucially important, everyone has confidence in the procedures that will be in place if that does happen. what we know from this guidance and people waking up this morning will not realise this, there was one version of what a school should do if there was a case in a school. this is talking about the bubbles, this year bubbles, and the first version of this guidance that came out from government said that all members of that year bubble should be asked to isolate and then, a second version. that instruction is removed and a second version is brought out within a matter of hours giving different instruction. that is not helpful. obviously, it is important you give the right advice in the end, but in terms of confidence, that is a
7:42 am
little worrying. but even that late in the day, there's that element of confusion over what should be done in what challenging circumstances. clearly, these things shouldn't happen and mistakes obviously have been made and been rectified, but the important thing is the guidance is right and the department for education should be doing everything possible to help schools to work through the guidance and help children return to school, but i go back to my main point. if children are sent home in lockdown, it is absolutely vital that the government to make clear what they are expected to make clear what they are expected to learn, that ofsted and work is made with the schools and computers are provided to those children who do not have them. this is one of the stories we talked about a lot here at bbc breakfast, in the early stages when students were still being asked to do schooling at home,
7:43 am
about whether they had access to la pto ps. about whether they had access to laptops. do you know by now, in your role within the select committee, do you know whether those students from disadvantaged backgrounds did actually get the laptops that they we re actually get the laptops that they were promised? i think it took a long time. i think most of the la pto ps have long time. i think most of the laptops have been delivered, but it took months. next time i think the government should considerjust giving vouchers to teachers so they can go down to the local computer store and buy a budget computer or a sim card or whatever it may be, because these national procurement schemes always seem to take a long time and always have an enormous amount of problems. we still know that roughly, according to the children's commissioner, 700,000 children's commissioner, 700,000 children do not have a proper computer or tablet or mobile at home and we need to make sure that we do not have a digital divide in our country, and the coronaviruses
7:44 am
actually exposed a lot of problems in terms of our education system, the attainment levels of disadvantaged students, the digital divide, safeguarding problems and we need to resolve all these as children go back to school. thank you very much for your time this morning and for being chair of the education select committee. for many pupils and their parents, the return to school presents an anxious time, with concerns over safety and well—being. joining us now to address some of your questions is child psychologist laverne antrobus. thank you for your time this morning. children pick up messages from their parents so i guess a starting point as a parent is we should be reassured and give that message to our children, should we? i think definitely, that is right. i think your children take their cue from their parents and so if parents feel they have got all the information they need about starting back at school, because this is what this is about, it is about starting pack, then i think children really can feel quite reassured to know my pa rents
7:45 am
can feel quite reassured to know my parents saying this is ok, so that will settle them. for most people, the risks associated with children going back will be minimal depending on how the virus is operating in your area, but there are those families where one family member is vulnerable, where they have perhaps been shielding. how does a child cope with the idea that they are going into school, a high—risk activity, potentially bringing the risk of infection back into the house? well, i have a sense of communicating with school has never been more important, so i think the relationships we will see now that we are coming through this are really crucial. parents need to talk to teachers about what is happening at home, so that teachers are really clear as to what sort of worries children might be bringing, because absolutely, children have had pa rents absolutely, children have had parents who have been key workers, working throughout this pandemic, and also, parents or grandparents at home shielding. children will not wa nt to home shielding. children will not want to feel that they are putting any of those relatives at risk, so
7:46 am
communicating with school, letting them know ahead of time. but i think also quite crucially, asking your child what they are worried about. it really will give you a sense as to whether or not they have the same worries you have. school is going to look and feel very different. how quickly do our children's brains adapt to those kind of new measures? a different environment?” adapt to those kind of new measures? a different environment? i think there are a couple of things here. i would want to say to parents whose children are starting premise go for the first time, remember they will know no different so for them, this new world of being at school will feel just quite new world of being at school will feeljust quite ordinary for them. for those children who have had inexpensive school before, and there are inexpensive school before, and there a re lots of inexpensive school before, and there are lots of them, they are going to quickly have to adapt to a one—way system, i keep hearing the thing about bubbles. i think that when children actually physically walk into the school, that is when things will start to settle for them. actually, they will take a lot of their cues from teachers are obviously very crucial in talking to
7:47 am
children about things, and as you have just there, the children about things, and as you havejust there, the brain has an amazing way of moving from an agitated state to feeling quite calm to adults in the environment you are saying things are ok. the other thing is how children are dropped off at school, so the way in which pa rents off at school, so the way in which pa re nts ha d off at school, so the way in which parents had their children over is also going to be crucial to this.” suppose this is true of primary school pupils, what would be your best practice in that sense?” school pupils, what would be your best practice in that sense? i think you want to check out... you have the last few days before we get into this, just be asking your child quite gently if there is anything they have heard or are worried about ahead of go back to school, reassured them that if you have got the answer, you can tell them but if you haven't, you will find out. i think that starting the school day, getting back into a routine, making sure that the things you can predict can be predictable are really important, so bedtime routines, meal
7:48 am
times together, those are all the things that give children certainty. once you step out of the door, get to school, you are then handing your children over to teachers who i think very quickly will scoop them up think very quickly will scoop them up and take them into the classroom and they will feel a bit more settled. i think one of the hardest things for my teenage children will be getting them out of bed in the mornings, but that is perhaps a separate matter. i want to ask about how friendship dynamics may have shifted. there is huge mental health benefits for being back amongst the contemporaries, but it may be some have fallen out of the loop on social media or different dynamics will have emerged. how do you navigate your way through that?” think that is a very helpful point because actually children, some children will have moved a lot of the friendships online, but actually what i have been hearing from children is they are desperate to get back physically with their friends and their peers, and so i think that again he would be saying to them, who are you looking forward to them, who are you looking forward to seeing in school? throughout the
7:49 am
age to seeing in school? throughout the 5, to seeing in school? throughout the age ranges, but actually what you wa nt age ranges, but actually what you want is for them to be anticipating that. good mental health is about being with your friends, feeling valued, feeling confident. i think very quickly children will fall back into these new routines at school because they have got their friends around them. yeah, that is a wonderful thing and will be of benefit to everyone. thank you very much. nice to talk to you this morning. i think tomorrow we should doa morning. i think tomorrow we should do a whole feature on actually getting your children out of bed. these teenagers who have been used to lying... i'm not saying mine, but lying around all day. doing nothing. what does the tip? i don't have a tip. i need advice. any thoughts, phil? yeah, loads, i have enough for a six pa rt yeah, loads, i have enough for a six part mini series. i have an 11—year—old daughter who is making a transition into secondary school this coming week, so being a caring father, about a week ago i started
7:50 am
suggesting to her that... well, i didn't, ijust suggesting to her that... well, i didn't, i just told suggesting to her that... well, i didn't, ijust told her, we are getting up tomorrow and going to the local track about eight o'clock in the morning which came as a shock to her when i followed through, and for the mornings i have been around we have done that every morning just for the discipline. not that we run miles because i can't any more, but just for the discipline of getting up just for the discipline of getting up and then we come back and have brea kfast up and then we come back and have breakfast and do some reading. if she hasn't left home by now, because iam here, then i she hasn't left home by now, because i am here, then i will be absolutely amazed. that is seriously impressive. super nanny phil avery. i am amazed i am talking to you because he used the dreaded phrase unpredictable weather earlier on, we will leave that aside, iam not earlier on, we will leave that aside, i am not a earlier on, we will leave that aside, iam not a bitter earlier on, we will leave that aside, i am not a bitter man. earlier on, we will leave that aside, iam not a bitter man. lovely weather here in the west, it has been glorious. a bit breezy, but actually the sun is shining. out towards the east, don't bother with the watering can for those flowers, nature will do it for you. the low
7:51 am
pressure that brought all the wind and rain to many yesterday and the heavy showers over the past couple of days, is not1 million miles away out into the north sea, so the bank holiday weekend, if it is that way with you, mainly dry and a windy star—crossed eastern parts, but it will be cool by data now because the wind is coming in across the north and it has run some showers into the north of scotland and run them down through the irish day. there have been bits and pieces of rain already across the eastern parts, that is nothing compare to what will rock up later today when the plenty scratching is plenty of it, down into the music lives on into east anglia by the park deafening. a lot of it, a0 to 50 mph gusts. still quite breezy across the west, not just as strong. it is all coming in from the north, so 12 to about 18 should just about cover it. that is pretty disappointing for a time of year, onwards comes the cloud and wind and rain down on to the south—east to finish off this
7:52 am
afternoon on into the evening. elsewhere, skies begin to clear and it is going to be a chilly night and a cold, crisp start to the new day on sunday. there will be a lot of sunshine to go with it, for east anglia and the south—east, may be an overkill hang of cloud and a spot of rain. -- overkill hang of cloud and a spot of rain. —— an overhang of cloud. then it isa rain. —— an overhang of cloud. then it is a decent day, across the piste, it is a mixture of sunshine with cloud developing and passing shower. tops are on 12—18 and we will do all that again is to get on into bank holiday monday because at high pressure is going to settle things down nicely. do not worry about the front, it won't make it past the high pressure so there will be dry weather on monday, but it will be on the cool side. thank you very much. some of the biggest names in hollywood have been paying tribue to chadwick boseman — the star of the marvel film black panther — who's died at the age of a3. he had been suffering from colon cancer. actor mark ruffalo, who starred
7:53 am
with boseman in the avengers movies, said "it was the highest honor getting to work with him". dwayne "the rock" johnson thanked the actorfor sharing his talent with the world. and whoopi goldberg said boseman was one of her all—time favourite people. black panther took almost a billion pounds at the box office. it was the first superhero film to get a nomination for best picture at the oscars, and it was widely seen as a cultural milestone for having a largely black cast and a black director. akua gyamfi is the founder of the british blacklist which champions the work of african and caribbean people in the arts. she also worked with the black panther movie team. nice to talk to you in such sad circumstances, tell us about your role in helping out with the black panther production.” role in helping out with the black panther production. i wasn't involved with the production, that would have been a fantastic experience, but it was more in the media site when the film came to
7:54 am
london for its premiere, i was one of the black media outlets who spoke to chadwick on the carpet, covered the film and supported some other black organisations, to put on a ta keover event black organisations, to put on a takeover event with black panther at the bfi. it is monumental, it is significant and it was so important because it is interesting how in his passing, the legacy he has left with black panther, the fact we have this conversation about black press, talent and films and that creativity not being appreciated and respected from the perspective of diversity, black panther was so significant on many fronts. there were so much black media at the premiere, something that had not happened in the uk before and they reached out and included us and involved us in a groundswell of support for this film, it will go down in history. hollywood has a reputation of being
7:55 am
cynical and ultimately looking after its own business interests, but this film, the production around it, the crew who were involved, and right through the whole process in getting the movie out there, there seem to be an integrity to it, an essential message? yeah, i think what was interesting was the fact that it proved that a black film or something with a black lead or narrative can sell and is a box office smash. black panther, although it was marvel, and it has a great reputation are lots of fans, the fact it was a black superhero, i don't know if there was as much confidence in it doing well, and it wasn't until the black community, online and by word—of—mouth, really got behind the hype and the attention that black panther brought, it was unprecedented. we, asa brought, it was unprecedented. we, as a black community and fans, were documenting every moment, every announcement, every actor that was announced and when someone like
7:56 am
chadwick boseman was announced as black panther, he was in the previous film but knowing he was getting his own moment to shine in a vehiclejust for getting his own moment to shine in a vehicle just for himself, we got behind that and we helped him elevate it and get it to the box office smash it was, to the fact got nominated for an oscar. it is hard to understand the true character of hollywood stars, but the message is consistently coming up from his collea g u es consistently coming up from his colleagues that he was a quiet man, a man of humility and a man of serious, intent in terms of where he saw his career and how he viewed his art. absolutely, speaking to him from a work perspective as a journalist, his immunity came through, he is very intelligent, he made you think about the questions you are going to ask and he is not someone you can play silly games with. i brought my daughter along with. i brought my daughter along with me to the premier and he
7:57 am
acknowledged her, said hello to her, and the fact a young girl gets to speak to a superhero, when does that ever happen? a young black girl like that. he was very welcoming, accommodating and really intelligent and it was testimony to the roles he played, playing jackie robinson, james brown, you could say black panther is a more commercial vehicle for someone like him who is in line of that long legacy of having cou ntless of that long legacy of having countless awards, probably the biggest named awards and stuff like that. we used to be inspired by denzil washington saying he cares about the roles he chose, and i think chadwick boseman will be the next person in reference to that. think chadwick boseman will be the next person in reference to thatm is such a tragedy his life was cut short. for our viewers who haven't seen, this clip from thejimmy fallon tonight show where he is shown emerging had a curtain and people are not knowing he is there, giving their response inks to black
7:58 am
panther and what it means to them. i doubt he comes and greets them, and the reactions are priceless. have a little look. for being a hero that we need in a time at this, thank you so much. i think there's something wrong with your microphone. oh! my king! holding it with such grace and poise and joint... king! holding it with such grace and poise and joint. .. that was great. i have seen the movie twice in theatres already and once on blu—ray. theatres already and once on blu— ray. — — theatres already and once on blu—ray. —— bootleg. theatres already and once on blu-ray. -- bootleg. wait, you bootleg my movie? thank you. what
7:59 am
wakanda wa kanda forever. wakanda forever. that movie has been quoted so many times in my house, right across the globe. you some pretty certain that you think his legacy will live on. absolutely, i think we are going to talk about the impact it will have on young black children, but it is a global thing because the whole narrative and the conversation we have, black lives matter, george floyd, all the things that happen, even lockdown and covid—19, the fact that we are trying to reframe how we treat each other, how we see each other and viewing black people, black actors, talent, creators and stories are something that cannot be enjoyed by everybody is something we are fighting hard to change that narrative. i think someone like chadwick boseman is a hero to all. i am sure there are many children from different cultures who had a black cap plan per —— you had a black panther superhero costume for parties on halloween. i think people will be referencing him and his hard
8:00 am
work ethic, that even through illness as serious as cancer, he managed to churn out a fantastic body of work that nobody will be embarrassed about. his legacy will live on. thank you so much for talking to us. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt.
8:01 am
first a summary of this morning's main news. the government has published new coronavirus guidelines for secondary schools in england, in areas where local lockdown restrictions are in place. it comes just days before the autumn term begins — and suggests that entire year groups could potentially have to self—isolate if students test positive for the virus. school leaders have welcomed the guidance, but criticised the timing of its publication. chadwick boseman — the actor best known for playing the lead role in the black panther superhero movie — has died at the age of a3. his family say he had colon cancer, having been diagnosed in 2016 — but he never publically spoke about his illness. black panther was the first superhero film to get a nomination for best picture at the oscars. there's been criticism of the government's decision to ease regional lockdown restrictions in parts of the north—west. the labour leader of trafford council, andrew western described the move as "premature" after his area saw a slight increase in coronavirus infection rates in recent days. the health secretary matt hancock
8:02 am
said he has every faith residents would play their part by following local rules. we are going to be talking about the basking sharks later on and some amazing stuff they have learnt from putting a little shark camarasa... i've just been told we are not talking about basking sharks. that's gone well, hasn't it? one thing that is coming up later on. you are not entirely wrong because that is happening tomorrow, so it is a look ahead, but by 2a hours. it's out there somewhere. one thing i think we are talking about is a new bob marley documentary that is coming out, looking at his time in the uk in particular, documenting his days here. we are definitely doing that. that will be fascinating. anyway. let's get the sport with holly. what are you talking about?” let's get the sport with holly. what are you talking about? i was worried when you said we were talking about basking sharks. i'm about to go in the water to talk about paddle boarding and! the water to talk about paddle boarding and i thought, hang on, we are not crossing those two over! we
8:03 am
are not crossing those two over! we are talking about the return of english football. it's been a couple of funny old mums. it was the season that just wouldn't end. in fact it's only been 3a days since the fa cup final, and it's not been much of a break but english football is already back. as ususal it starts with the community shield. so that's the fa cup winners arsenal and the premier league champions liverpool. their managerjurgen klopp was asked if he had any concerns about the season being affected again by the pandemic. we are just happy that we can play again, and that's how we have to approach the whole season. the time is still uncertain for all of us, not only in football but in football, as well, the situation is not sorted where we are all living in, and so we should not deal with it like it is sorted. we have to show responsibility for a lot of people in the world, in the countries, and in the club. the women's community shield returns this afternoon for the first time in 12 years. manchester city against chelsea takes place at wembley ahead of the men's match and will be the first professional women's football to be
8:04 am
played since lockdown. despite not playing competitively for nearly six months, chelsea boss emma hayes says her team are ready to go. the players are training on a regular basis, in both environments, with top places on a daily basis. we have had the opportunity to play in preseason games, both in—house and against opponents. i think it has come at a really, really good time and we are very well prepared for it. and you can watch that match live on bbc one this afternoon. kick—off‘s at 12:30. there'll still be no fans there at wembley today, but there'll be 2,500 of them at brighton's amex stadium — the first time spectators have been allowed back in in england as part of government's test events monitoring their safe return. i think the eyes of the world are on us. we have a responsibility not
8:05 am
just our club or our league but for the whole of professional sport. we all want fans back in our stadia as quickly as possible because our economy and the wider economy depends on it. so it is a big opportunity. i'm very sure and very confident that everyone will comply with what thye're asked to do and hopefully everyone will have a great day out. well, rugby fans were allowed back into stadiums in scotland for the first time since march last night. around 700 people were inside murrayfield to watch the match between edinburgh and glasgow warriors. on the pitch it was a easy win for the away side, who were victors by 15 points to three. the weather was the only winner at old trafford with england's opening t20 international against pakistan abandoned because of rain. before the showers came, tom banton impressed for england, his 71 came offjust a2 balls and included five sixes. england had reached 131—6 when the rain arrived, calling an early end to the match. the second game of the series
8:06 am
takes place tomorrow. naomi osaka was among those to add her voice to the condemnation. she's into the final where she'll face victoria azarenka, who beat johanna konta in the semis — ending her great run this week. she took the opening set from the two—time grand slam champion. but after aza renka levelled in the second, the british number one couldn't get herself back into the match, eventually losing the third set 6—1. the 2020 tour de france will begin in nice later. not quite behind closed doors but it will be a race like we've never seen before. expect social bubbles, face masks and distancing as organisers try to protect the riders and spectators. there'll be plenty of drama in this competition anyway this year, with the opening weekend including five categorised climbs in a8 hours. defending champion egan bernal remains one of the favourites to claim the yellowjersey.
8:07 am
before i go, we've had some updates on lionel messi's whereabouts. i told you earlier about his childhood club in argentina hoping to entice him. this is the newell‘s old boys doing their best to persuade him, holding a parade in his honour in his hometown of rosario where messi was a junior player — looking to tug at his heartstrings, rather than the purse strings. now, we have had some updates. i asked earlier on if you have seen messi or any family members. so far chris says he was spotted coming out of molineux stadium yesterday and then ina of molineux stadium yesterday and then in a local indian restaurant later that night. simon says, he's actually heading to bishops stortford fc because somebody saw him heading to those grounds after disembarking a plane from stansted.
8:08 am
my disembarking a plane from stansted. my rumours, please, i'm enjoying them. i have to go, apparently i'm off paddle boarding.” them. i have to go, apparently i'm off paddle boarding. i think we can look. for those who don't know the logistics of where we are, we are in this building here, you are us and you are going to run all the way down there to get somewhere. i've got to race there. i've got ten minutes to get there so it will be a race against time to see if i make it. go, holly, go! she is off. got about nine minutes, ten minutes, something like that. 9:39am. there was a bit of a thrill for a group of children in norway this summer, when they found a message washed up on the beach. not in a bottle, but in a tiny boat. and it turns out, that the little boat had been on a big journey. it set sail ten years ago, from the remote scottish island of st kilda. it's a replica of the miniature boats the islanders used to send messages to the mainland. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon has the story. a summer holiday surprise from islands far across the sea.
8:09 am
messages not in a bottle but in a tiny mail boat, washed ashore and discovered by children playing on a remote norwegian beach. the kids, as always, were messing around down by the water and looking for things and just playing around and they just stumbled upon this boat. they found it and look what i found and then, by coincidence, totally coincidence, theyjust dropped it and it opened. what they found inside was a treasure trove of postcards, intact after a ten—year, thousand—mile journey from the shores of the remote scottish islands of st kilda. the mail boat tradition stretches back to when the islanders who used to live here had to send messages appealing for help from the mainland. life in this rocky outcrop in the atlantic was extremely harsh and the islands' last—remaining residents voted to leave and were evacuated in 1930.
8:10 am
just imagining that life there, and you can see the abandoned community and it is all still there to see — the street, the graveyard, the church, the school — just all life, when people walked out 90 years ago. alexander gillies—fergusson, here wearing the cap, as a teenager was one of the first to launch a mail boat from st kilda. his story passing down the generations. when he was 1a, in about 1885, he sent one of these st kilda mail boats with a message in it saying that the winter storms had damaged their stores and that the people on the island were getting very hungry if not getting near starvation. it worked. the message reached help and st kilda was resupplied. their tiny mail boats a unique reminder of a way of life left long ago. lorna gordon, bbc news.
8:11 am
9:a1am is the time. as we approach the a0th anniversary of his death, bob marley remains one of the most influential musicians of all time. tonight, a new documentary will shed light on the influence he had on culture, politics and identity here in the uk. when bob marley came to britain features rarely seen archive and interviews with people who met him in the 19705. this is the story of bob marley's time in britain, and how he changed the lives of the people he met here. we still go back and talk about bob marley going to our school. some of him is still there. we never realised we was in the presence of someone who would transcend worldwide. bob looked back and said, "you ready, then? " he just went, "yeah." and the adventure began. and we can now talk to bbc radio manchester's karen gabay, who was a producer on the documentary, and paulette morris who features in it.
8:12 am
paulette, i want to start with you first. i love the stories about people who have met someone, a moment in time, you've met someone who is very significant. you had one of those moments with bob miley when he was here in the uk. tell us what happened. -- bob marley. good morning. me and my sister travelled toa morning. me and my sister travelled to a celebration in manchester, which was held by the tribes of israel and we travelled there to have a meeting and bob marley turned up have a meeting and bob marley turned up and hejust have a meeting and bob marley turned up and he just turned have a meeting and bob marley turned up and hejust turned up and said he's here, like everybody else, and ijust remember the he's here, like everybody else, and i just remember the excitement he's here, like everybody else, and ijust remember the excitement in the room at somebody so amazing and as great as bob marley coming to the people. he was a voice for the oppressed and was a man of the people. i think we really felt that. it was an amazing time. we didn't
8:13 am
realise how great, you know, he was, really. he was definitely a man of the people. you are a singer songwriter in your own right, so talk about the legacy, the bob marley legacy. his legacy is our legacy, our story, marley legacy. his legacy is our legacy, ourstory, because growing up legacy, ourstory, because growing upin... legacy, ourstory, because growing up in... being born here as first—generation, we didn't have the society and it made us feel as if we weren't wanted. so hearing the music from jamaica and the messages, it's really solidified and we should be very proud of who we are a. we should stand up for our rights and we should definitely defeat the evil system. we identified that in the 19705 and 19805.
8:14 am
system. we identified that in the 1970s and 1980s. karen, i know that reggae music was hugely important in your childhood. when you got a chance to be involved with this. what was it in particular about bob miley‘s story that she wanted to tell? we wanted to actually share the stories that we knew were out there amongst people in the towns and cities of england, really. a lot of people talked about meeting and interacting with bob marley, particularly in the early years when he was trying to make his name, but that never really made it through into documentaries or into books that much. it was really to covet those stories. a lot of people were not actually believed when they said they had played football with bob miley i met him, because they didn't have any photographs —— when they played football with bob marley or met him. it is really to uncover those stories and to give an
8:15 am
understanding of why bob marley is so loved in the uk. do you think we learned anything new about his character, the man himself which perhaps we had overlooked previously? a few things we learnt. people always talked about you always saw images of him playing football. what came through really strongly it was that he was a brilliant footballer and a lot of people testified to the fact that he would have actually made it as a footballer, so that was interesting. the other thing that came through was that he really was a man of the people, as paulette was saying. he was a very people, as paulette was saying. he was a very kind and generous person and, you know, he knew england very well. he called it his second home. it wasn'tjust well. he called it his second home. it wasn't just about london. he well. he called it his second home. it wasn'tjust about london. he had friends in manchester, birmingham, leeds. he made connections with people. he made friends with those people. he made friends with those people and really encouraged them in their life. and so many people say
8:16 am
that bob marley did in fact change their life and we were able to uncover why that was. don letts went on to become a dj and a film—maker. paulette was talking about she had the same birthday as a barb, she fulfilled her dreams as a singer songwriter. it had that effect on many people we came across and because he actually travelled around england, that impact is bigger than we actually truly realise, i think. paulette, apart from anything else, bob marley brought reggae music to a lot of people who possibly have never heard it before. absolutely, yeah. at the time in the 19705 and 19805, we never heard it on the mainstream tv or radio, reggae music. and i think watching him on the old grey whistle test which was a rock show was phenomenal and that took him and propelled him to a different audience and it opened up the doors for later on, against
8:17 am
racism and how we use music and bring people together because music is to bring people together. i think he was very important for the time, absolutely. lovely to speak to you this morning. thank you very much. just a reminderfor you, there is a stills are brilliant, and they? when bob marley came to britain is on bbc two at 9:a5 tonight, and will be available to watch again on bbc iplayer. incredible to think what might have been, had he been able to pursue his football career, as well. that is a different story. time to look at the weather. thanks, very good morning. the tide is out in looe. i am advertising the fact that the bbc weather website are coast and sea pages have had something of a revamp, so i'm very grateful to put in that bit of an advert. it's going to be cool this weekend, no doubt about it. 18 degrees or so as
8:18 am
opposed to those of you with the memory of last year, 33 degrees or so. why is that? because low pressure to the east, high pressure to the west, the wind flows down from the north across all parts of the british isles today. at its strongest across the eastern side, where it has been windy for a day or two now, to say the very least. it's cool because it's northerly, by day and by night, but a lot of dry weather around. having said that, there were a few showers across northern scotland and down through the irish sea and they may hang around for a part of the day, but generally speaking there is a lot of dry, fine weather around. generally speaking there is a lot of dry, fine weatheraround. i generally speaking there is a lot of dry, fine weather around. i cannot ignore the fact that rain returns to those eastern counties through this afternoon and slumps its way to the east midlands, east anglia and eventually the south—east. it is urged along by a gusty wind, 40 to 50 mph along the eastern shores and even through the irish sea, gusts around 30 mph. all from the north. it won't be very warm at all.
8:19 am
through the rest of the afternoon, through the evening, the rain completes its journey away down towards the south—eastern coast. out towards the south—eastern coast. out towards the south—eastern coast. out towards the west, underneath the toppling high—pressure, we end up with clear skies, light winds, the temperatures fall away. it feels a bit autumnal to say the very least. single figures, wind and cloud, but there is clear skies by night translate into a glorious start to sunday. plenty of sunshine around. the wind still a feature in the south—east but gradually moderating during the course of the day. the cloud built up, there may be one or two showers. if you have a plan for the outdoors, the weather should not get in your way. but because the wind is still from the north we are still looking at around ia to 18 and we do it all over again on sunday night into monday bank holiday for some. that high—pressure is dominant, it keeps that frontal syste m dominant, it keeps that frontal system at bay. again, i chili, bright start to the day, a bit of cloud develops through the course of the day but the front doesn't get in
8:20 am
for the most part during monday, and those temperatures are still disappointing for the time of year. thank you. as lockdown has eased across the country there's been a big increase in the number of people taking to the water and giving paddleboarding a go. you didn't really see much of it but it looks like it's everywhere over the last 12 months. have you? know. so, everyone is doing it apart from rachel. holly has been having a look and having a go in liverpool. already one of the uk's fastest—growing sports, it's easy to see why paddleboarding has been making waves this summer. it's just boss, isn't it? because, like, when you've been indoors for that long and doing the quarantine and that, it's just good to get out in summer and make the most of the summer. it'sjust a lot of fun, mainly. it's a nice way of doing a bit of exercise that doesn't really feel like exercise. mostly me and my mates come,
8:21 am
and that, but i don't really do it with my family, but with my mates — it's better with mates. as long as they don't push you in? yeah, as long as they don't push you in. it's freezing in the water, as well. you get used to it, though. it's so many people from so many different walks of life. we paddle with two barristers, a doctor from itu. we paddle with guys who drive for the council. i'm a college lecturer. you know, my daughter is doing her a—levels and all that sort of stuff. doesn't matter where you're from or what you do, it appeals to everybody. yes, it's the staycation hobby of 2020 and it seems we can't get enough of it. with one retailer reporting a 100% increase in traffic on their website. so many people have been trying to buy paddleboards and wet suits, they are selling out everywhere. have you found that? yeah. one of our people who we use, they've had a a00% increase in sales injune, so thatjust shows you the figures. and, yeah, we've had customers phoning up saying they're going on holiday, where can they buy a board? do we sell them?
8:22 am
they can't get hold of them. they've sold out. people are staying in britain and not going abroad, and going to the beaches. they see people doing it and theyjust want a piece of the action because it's a fun activity. so it looks pretty straightforward. do ijust go out like this, then? just get myself a board and i'm away? no, no, no. we need you to get a wet suit, get a buoyancy aid, a paddle, a board. you are definitely going to fall in. hang on a second, nobody told me about that! we are getting on the board now, this is it. this is the big moment. big—time. so after my instructor took me through the basics... kick... i was ready to dip my toe in the water. so to speak. lovely, how's that feel? so, top hand directly... i've forgotten everything you said. laughter. # oh, my god. # this feeling's just begun. # saying things i've never said. # doing things i've never done. # oh, my god. # when i see you, i should have run. # but i'm frozen in motion and my head tells me to stop #. now i wouldn't be the most experienced person on the water
8:23 am
by any means, but that is the case for a lot of people who are maybe taking up paddleboarding for the very first time. and for some that lack of experience has led to some people getting into real difficulties. this teenager had a lucky escape when the rnli came to his aid in abersoch earlier this month. one of 52 people rescued so far this year. that's a 27% increase on the whole of 2019. we are seeing a massive increase in numbers. with the paddleboarding specifically, we are finding they are very readily available for people to go and buy from shops, even supermarkets in some cases. so people are trying it and it is an increasing export. so people are trying it and it is an increasing sport. people don't quite realise, or underestimate the conditions out in the sea. after a bit of practice, i've started to get the hang of this. i'm like lewis hamilton on the water! not quite.
8:24 am
but it is best to follow the safety advice and be aware of the potential dangers, or you could find yourself up the creek with or without a paddle. she stayed on it! she didn't fall off. she is too good for that. she's escaped the studios again and joins us from the water centre in salford. not too far away, gorgeous day out there. it is a beautiful day. good morning again. i sprinted down here, i don't need to come too far to find a spot of paddle boarding. i didn't fall in, that was on purpose when i saw there was a couple ofjellyfish in the water. i was clinging on for dear life. it's really good fun. i enjoyed it and you can see why there has been this real explosion, especially on a beautiful day like this. it's very relaxing whenever you get the hang of it and you kind of lose that there was a jelly legs. let's speak to ethan, qualified instructor. good morning. you can
8:25 am
only describe it as an explosion of paddle boarders. every time you look on social media there is someone out on social media there is someone out on the board, kitted out. how have you found it? we have seen a 50% increase in memberships and we are consistently full at the moment. huge influx in paddle boarders. calls asking if they can come down and do it. since post—lockdown, people coming down here, paddle boarding, real increase. it is one of those things that is actually quite easy to learn but that is almost the concern that people i just buying it, going out with the equipment and maybe don't really know what they are doing a. it's harder than it looks. it is. ultimately we want to try to get people down to organised events, sessions, for first—time beginners before we go out ourselves and into the sea. there are still dangers there. coming summer like this, it is calm in the water, would you recommend starting somewhere like
8:26 am
this? this is ideal. organised sessions in a controlled environment. not too much wind. if you go to coastal regions we wouldn't advise that for the first time if it is not an organised event. i find that myself. every time there was a little wave or a breeze, you toppled off. this is good for a beginner. breeze, you toppled off. this is good fora beginner. if breeze, you toppled off. this is good for a beginner. if someone out there is watching this and i thinking about taking their family out, what would you advice? never paddle alone first time. try to get to an organised event. make sure you have a form of communication, phone or radio, and let someone else know you are going. finally, check the weather conditions. if there will be an offshore breeze and you don't wa nt an offshore breeze and you don't want to be going out, it will be windy. we don't want anyone falling in! that is the joy of it. it is something that interests are such a wide range of people. you've had grandparents here with their grandchildren. anyone can do it. grandparents here with their grandchildren. anyone can do itm is such an accessible sport and booming at the moment. beginners up
8:27 am
to professionals. it has become such an interesting sport and it holds a lot of potential, as well. we have accrue here out on the water. they are making it look very easy. there isa are making it look very easy. there is a day. are you getting on all right? yeah. are looking good. i'm trying to distract them to make them fall in the to be honest. they aren't going anywhere! it's incredible, such a great sport to do and it has helped that we have had a brilliant summer. definitely, definitely, yeah. it's been perfect andl definitely, yeah. it's been perfect and i think people have been quite bored at home and this has really helped, being able to get out, find a new sport, something they may not have seen if they were going abroad to. thank you so much. i am doing my best to try to distract them but they are staying solid. there are a couple of spare wet suits for charlie and rachel, come on down! i reckon you'd be good at it. laughter looks nice, doesn't it? it does look... i need to being chucked around in the surf. that looks serene in comparison stop by thank
8:28 am
