tv Breakfast BBC News August 6, 2023 6:00am-9:01am BST
6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today: people who are wrongly imprisoned will no longer have their living costs taken out of their compensation payments, following the case of andy malkinson, who served 17 years for a crime he didn't commit. i thought to pay these people for doing what they are doing to me is the most sickening abhorrent, repugnant thing eye could imagine. president zelensky says russia has bombed a blood transfusion centre in ukraine, describing the attack as a war crime. after 60 years of trying, england will play a netball world cup final today. australia stand between them
6:01 am
and the sport's biggest prize. and after the wet and windy day for some of us yesterday, some improvements in the weather for today. for many of us they will be some sunny spells, it also a few showers which could be heavy at times. i will have the full forecast throughout the programme. good morning. it's sunday the 6th of august. our main story: people who were wrongly convicted of crimes will no longer be charged living costs for the time they spent in prison. the ministry forjustice is scrapping the rule with immediate effect, following an outcry over the case of a man who spent 17 years injailfora crime he didn't commit. joe inwood has the details. there are many shocking things about the case of andy malkinson. ajury misled. dna evidence suppressed. 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. but for many, it was the revelation that andy malkinson would have
6:02 am
to pay back some of his compensation to cover board and lodgings that was most shocking. the very idea of paying, once you have cleared your name, your captors is really repugnant. the guilty don't pay, why should the innocent? that's ridiculous. but from today, that will change. wrongly convicted prisoners like andy will no longer have to pay towards the cost of their own imprisonment. that's very welcome, yeah. good. a step in the right direction but much more needs to be changing. you don't want to putjust a sticking plaster on something that's mortally wounded. it needs much more. there has been a real problem... sentiment echoed by sir bob neil who chairs thejustice select committee and had called for the change. when the state makes an error it is right and proper that the state accepts that
6:03 am
as swiftly as possible and secondly, that the state then doesn't try and put needless obstacles in the way for somebody seeking recompense. key among the obstacles is a new test introduced in 2014 that means that victims of miscarriages ofjustice need to prove their innocence beyond reasonable doubt. that is an extremely difficult hurdle to meet and that is why hardly anyone is now getting compensation anymore. even very serious cases where people have been imprisoned for murder or rape for years, four cases which were accepted as miscarriages ofjustice, are not meeting this test because it is so brittle. —— brutal. it's cruel. and it needs to change. for now, and is surviving on benefits. he says getting compensation could take two years and will be kept.
6:04 am
they should be making sure that i'm compensated speedily and even the amount is kind of insulting because they've capped it at ten years. how is it possible, you know? the more time that you've been tortured and held captive wrongfully, the more you should get. they did not cap my imprisonment but they will cap the money they were obliged to pay in compensation. cheering and applause. when andy malkinson left the court of appeal, his name was finally cleared. his fight forjustice has been a long and difficult one, even with today's announcement it is not yet over. joe inwood, bbc news. and that is our main story this morning. ben has all the other news including a few story for england nipple. a really big day. let me explain. —— england netball.

they've reached every netball world cup final they've been and are looking to win the title for a record extending 12th time. england's lionesses are little over 2a hours away from their last 16 match at the world cup against nigeria. and some good news ahead of that — keira walsh has returned to team training. one of the most important players in that team. she suffered a knock in the win over denmark, there were fears it could be a serious knee injury, but she should be fit to play again at the tournament. already through to the quarterfinals this morning are the netherlands. beaten finalists last time out when england boss sarina weigman was their manager. they are now two wins from reaching back—to—back finals after a 2—0 win over south africa. jill roord, manchester city's new club record signing, scored their opener. next up for them will be spain in wellington on friday. later this morning defending champions usa play sweden. brendan rodgers' second spell in charge of celtic has got off to a great start. on the opening day of the new scottish premiership season, his side beat ross county 11—2 at celtic park,

6:29 am
honest. this is the event. someone was talking about imposter syndrome the other day and we almost have at the other day and we almost have at the other day and we almost have at the other way around, we have always seen ourselves here but never been here. to have that feeling validated, even though it is one day in a year, feels good. britain's para athletes continue to show they're the best in the world. jaco van gass was involved in a british one—two in the men's c3 scratch race ahead of defending champion finlay graham. if medals were awarded for victory celebrations then sam ruddock would top the podium. he had a nervous wait to see if he'd done enough in the c11km time trialfor gold. when he saw he had, this is how he celebrated — pure joy at beating the world record holder and favourite china's li zhangyu. and if there were prizes for moustaches, blaine hunt would have one to go with his gold medal in the c5 one kilometre time trial.
6:30 am
after retaining his title he paid tribute to the raucous fans inside the sir chris hoy velodrome and thanked them for powering him home. you can hear the crowd during and you are like, i cannot let them down. i don't know where i'm at but i have to go for it. then i think, you can sense the build of them and you can sense the build of them and you can sense the build of them and you can tell that you are heading positive splits, so it's good. away from the velodrome there was a huge surprise in the men's downhill mountain bike race at fort william. charlie hatton arrived at the event never having won a world cup race. yet he conquered the rain swept, muddy course and his rivals to win gold. fellow briton laurie greenland won bronze. i'm not sure, i'm shaking because i'm not sure, i'm shaking because i'm cold or excited, nervous and all of the above! i did not expect to be having this around my neck. when i woke up this morning, so, absolutely
6:31 am
gobsmacked! with the rugby world cup just a month away, we're into a cluster of warm up games and scotland produced an incredible comeback from 18 points down to beat france. they were trailing 21—3 at the break at murrayfield and had zander fagerson sent off soon after but came back to win by 25 points to 21. dave cherry with the try here that tipped the balance. the sides meet again in st etienne next weekend in what will be the third of scotland's four world cup warm—up matches. there'll be some nervous players in the england camp, waiting to find out if they've made the world cup squad, after a disappointing display against wales in cardiff. wales winning this one by 20—9. they were inspired by new captain jac morgan, with tries from gareth davies and george north. leigh halfpenny kicked ten points on his 100th wales appearance. head coach warren gatland is still deciding who he'll be taking to france but england coach steve borthwick will tell his players today, before making it public on monday morning. six nations champions ireland were back in action for the first
6:32 am
time since winning the grand slam in march. they beat italy 33—17 in dublin. it was an experimental irish side, with head coach andy farrell rested a host of stars, but they never really looked threatened by italy, caelan doris going over twice as they began their warm—up fixtures confidently. dillion whyte says he is completely innocent after returning an adverse finding in a doping test. it means next weekend's heavyweight rematch with anthonyjoshua is off. whyte vowed to clear his name, saying on social media that without a shadow of a doubt, he had not taken the reported substance, at any point in his life. joshua could yet fight at london's o2 arena if a replacement opponent can be found in time. great britain's ellie challis now has three gold medals to her name at the para swimming world championships in manchester, after winning the s3 200m freestyle. and maisie summers—newton broke the european record as she retained her sb6 100—metres title, for her second gold of the week. she said she was in a really good placejust a year out from the paralympics in paris.

all the more impressive, she is training to be a teacher at the moment as well. brilliant stuff. lows to celebrate from sport this weekend. iam i am particular celebrating glenn hunt's mr roche in if cycling is all about marginal gains, does that mean is all about drag? —— moustache. maybe it has a bit more air in it. i loved it. photographer roger bamber started his career in the 1960s, taking his student portfolio to fleet street and getting a job on the spot. in the decades that followed, he snapped a host of famous names but also plenty of everyday people. roger died six months ago, aged 78, and now an exhibition of his pictures has opened in sussex. sara smith went to take a look. music plays.
6:34 am
from the black—and—white images of his early career to exuberant celebrations of life in this corner of sussex, roger bamber�*s photographs of famous faces appear alongside those who found themselves unwittingly in the news. a barrister is led from the old bailey after an ira bomb, a police officer mourns the loss of a colleague in the line of duty. when he went to take a bit of duty. when he went to take a bit of cecil beaton, the famous society photographer turned elands back on a young and it was his youth which one him some of his most glamorous assignments. # there is a star man waiting in the sky... all these old boys in the newspaper said you _ all these old boys in the newspaper said you can go off and do these noisy— said you can go off and do these noisy modern bands, that he got in on the _ noisy modern bands, that he got in on the very— noisy modern bands, that he got in on the very early days with them, which _ on the very early days with them, which meant he made friends with them _ which meant he made friends with them before they were terribly famous — them before they were terribly famous and ended up going touring, which _ famous and ended up going touring, which was _ famous and ended up going touring, which was fun.— which was fun. years later low value oroduced which was fun. years later low value produced one _ which was fun. years later low value produced one of— which was fun. years later low value produced one of the _ which was fun. years later low value produced one of the most _ which was fun. years later low value produced one of the most enduring l produced one of the most enduring images of that day. —— live aid. the

6:37 am
ourselves. india. more than 75 years after independence, this emerging world power of more than a billion people is still changing. i'm on a journey to two extremes of this vast subcontinent. it's just crystal, it's hard crystals. white salt — probably taste it. i began in gujarat, in the far west... this is genuinely incredible. i'm in heaven. looks pretty crowded! ..and this week, i've travelled 2,000 miles over to the north—east. i'm on the banks of the mighty river brahmaputra and about to go to a very spiritual place. it's one of india's lesser—known regions... we're really high up. and just to my right is the border with bangladesh. one... ..a part of the country that prides itself
6:38 am
on its traditions... he makes it look so easy, and it's incredibly difficult. ..but it's also looking forward and embracing progress. so now, i'm on my way to go and see assam's very own eco—warrior. it's going to be an incredible adventure. india's north—east, a collection of eight states almost cut off from the rest of this vast country, but for a tiny strip of land. at partition, a large swathe of this region was sectioned off to become east pakistan, which later became bangladesh, leaving the indian area landlocked. it's geographically and culturally out on a limb. this is frontier country, little known to tourists
6:39 am
and other indians alike. they call it the "land of clouds", but that's because of the severe monsoon season. hilly, remote, and the air is so crisp and fresh, and the views, well, simply spectacular. it's this cool climate that made the state of meghalaya and its capital, shillong, a popular retreat for the british during the colonial era. they dubbed it the "scotland of the east". looks pretty crowded! but what about the city today? there's only one way to find out. hope we can get on. i take a bus
6:40 am
into the city centre. so, it's a modern industrial town these days, shillong. brakes grind whoa, feel it...! i think those brakes might need a bit of work. so, tell me, what do you think about shillong? this is your home city, yeah? yes. what do you think about this place? like, you see the people, like, you know... more than half of meghalaya's population belong
6:41 am
to the khasi tribe. and here at shillong's british—built polo ground, a traditional local sport is thriving — but it sure ain't polo. every afternoon, hundreds of people gather from all around to take part in a really interesting daily ritual. this is called teer, derived from the hindi word for "arrow". a target's mounted, and 50 archers have just a few minutes to hit it as many times as possible. the significance of the sport dates back to the early 1800s, when khasi warriors defended their homelands not with guns or swords, but with bows and arrows.
6:42 am
i'm aiming for the target, obviously, which is... ..which one of them? the small one. the small one there? 0k. so, why�*s it going to the ground like that? show me. get out the way, everyone. here we go. he stammers wow! now, that... now we're getting there! now we're... now we're getting there. spectators get involved by taking bets on the number of arrows that hit the target. and, crucially, it's only the last two numbers of the total score that matter. they're all added up. all added up. and the last two digits, that will be the result. 695 arrows. so, 95 is the result.
6:43 am
meghalaya became one of the few states to legalise gambling in 1982. people here are very superstitious. they'll dream about their dead family, a dog, a cat, and they'll try to make it into numbers. so, i have 200 rupees of my hard—earned money here. i want to go and gamble. can you show me how to do it? yeah. come on, then. so, let's go to one of these counters. speaks in khasi namaste, hello. hello, sir. i want to gamble on, erm...a lucky number, yeah? yeah. two digits, lucky number. i'm going to go for... ..39. 39? yeah. and i'm going to put... 100. ..100 rupees on 39. on 39. oh, and then my other bet, i'm going to bet on 77. can you fix it so i win? they laugh yeah. it depends on your fortune, though. oh, it depends on my fortune? i had a dream last night! i had a dream that...
6:44 am
you can dream anything. ..that a strange dog walked past me, and that dog had the number 39 on it. is that the kind of dreams we all have? 0h, who knows? they laugh wish me luck. it's a tense moment as the numbers are counted... 310, 320... ..four... ..and my dream turns out to be a shaggy dog story. . .seven. 77 was my number — 97 was the result. still two of my lucky numbers! nine and seven. next, i head out of the city to explore the region's famed khasi hills and villages. incredible to think that, despite landscapes like this, the north—east is one of the least—visited
6:45 am
areas of india. but things are slowly changing. we've been travelling out of shillong into the countryside, towards the bangladesh border, for about two hours now. and it's been pretty bumpy and rough roads — until, suddenly, we have reached this bit, and it's a beautifully smooth road that wouldn't look out of place in a major town. and we're heading towards a village that's got a really interesting reputation. the khasi hills are the only place in the world where you find bridges grown from the roots of the india rubber tree, or ficus elastica. we learned that it was constructed during the year 1840. this place was meant for the villagers to cross over the river when they tended to their daily life, mainly agriculture.
6:46 am
during that time, there was no partition, no bangladesh, no pakistan. so, we had that link. during monsoon, the khasi hills are hit by record—breaking downpours — more than 20 feet of rain in a month. these are some of the wettest places on the planet. but people here have found an ingenious way to harness nature in order to prevent the village being cut off by floods. just tell me what they're doing right now. now they are tying the bamboos to cross on both sides of the river, so that the roots of this tree would be woven along this bamboo. bamboo acts as a scaffolding, which helps connect roots from trees growing on opposite river banks. this is skilled and occasionally dangerous work.
6:47 am
thanks to continuous repairs, bridges like this have stood firm for generations. and it will probably remain for many more to come. so, we leave meghalaya and head to assam... ..passing through some of the 25,000 tea plantations that have made this region world—famous. we're on our way tojorhat, just a few hundred kilometres from india's border with china and thejumping—off point for our next adventure. i'm on the banks of the mighty river brahmaputra and about to go to a very spiritual place, the island of majuli, which is one of the biggest river islands in the world. now, there's 150,000 people on that island and only six ferries a day, so it's really
6:48 am
crammed each one. just looking at the list of prices for all the different categories. passengers, 15 rupees. it's ok, its reasonable. then you go down, past the vehicles, and animals have to pay. buffalo has to pay a5! bull, cow, 30. and then, the poor elephant has to fork out 907 rupees. perhaps fortunately, none of these creatures were travelling with us today. and incredibly, after a few last—minute panics... ..we're set to go. i climb onto the corrugated aluminium roof tojoin men who do this trip day in, day out. starting in tibet,
6:49 am
the brahmaputra river is nearly 2,000 miles long. it's second only to the amazon in the volume of water that rushes through it. so, an interesting game of cards going on here. i think they're playing whist. ifeel like i should join in, but it may be a private game with high stakes. we arrive at majuli, and it's turmoil again trying to get off the boat. he laughs to avoid the queue, there is a sneaky way out, which basically involves climbing onto another boat and going down the steps that way. do you know what? i think i'm going to take that one. well, here we are on land. it doesn't look quite
6:50 am
as spiritual as i imagined. and if you look way into the distance, it's just one big, flat land of desert. but let's see. majuli island is home to 22 monasteries — or sattras — initially established in the 16th century by the assamese guru sankardev. boys are instructed from a very young age in the religion he preached, vaishnavism, an offshoot of hinduism. the monks are celibate and, according to their beliefs, they worship only one god, follow a vegetarian diet and reject the caste system.
6:51 am
here at uttar kamalabari, the doctrine includes this special art form. this form of classical dance is now recognised by the authorities as a genre in its own right, and many of these monks have performed around the world. that was amazing. thank you very much indeed. and i know you spend a lifetime learning the skills of this, but can i have a go? can i try? like this? yeah, yeah. 0h, er, arm is through here. yeah? yeah. 0k. first type is... yeah... they hit drums
6:52 am
hey. no. hit...? sorry, wrong one. very good. thank you so much. one, two, three, four, one... there are 64 positions in this classical dance — and i'm having trouble with the first two. it's very difficult. one, two, three... let them play. without the grace as well. no grace whatsoever. er, no, no... he makes it look so easy, and it's incredibly difficult. and i don't think... i'm just going to leave it to the experts, you know? i just... you know, sometimes you just have to give up and let them carry on. an exquisite performance.
6:53 am
but there's one problem, one very big problem — and that is that this island may simply not exist in just a few decades' time. hard to believe at the moment, but there is a genuine worry that majuli will be submerged and destroyed within 20 years. in the last 70 years, it's shrunk in size by two thirds... ..and a majority of the original 65 monasteries have gone. every monsoon, the brahmaputra river swells, eroding the terrain around it.
6:54 am
bit by bit, the land is disappearing. but there is hope. so now, i'm on my way in a tractor to go and see a man whose life's mission has been to try and tackle the flooding that's afflicted majuli. he is basically assam's very own eco—warrior. sadly, these are areas that get completely deluged when the monsoon hits. there's some water there that we have to cross. for more than 40 years, jadev payeng's taken on an extraordinary challenge — to save this land from vanishing.
6:55 am
and so his lifelong calling began. jadev is known today as "the forest man of india". he began planting trees so the roots would bind the soil, soak up excess water and prevent the land from being eroded by flooding. from a barren landscape, he's created a forest the size of new york's central park. and he feels this will be more effective in saving nearby majuli than following government flood
6:56 am
prevention schemes. so, we are now going to do the ritual that every guest that comes here is asked to do, which is to plant a tree. what kind of tree is this? so, i'm going to put this in here... yeah? it's good? jadev has spoken at environmental summits all around the world, and his roll call of guests is equally international. wow!
6:57 am
and i do know that everyone who plants a tree, when it grows, they put a plaque down with their name on it. so, i'm going to have that privilege? wow. fantastic. yes. thank you. and so to my final day in assam, and a different kind of ritualistic celebration of nature. if there's one recurring theme throughout my trip in the north—east, it's the sense of community kind of everywhere, really. and there's nothing better to illustrate that than this — a local village going down to the river to celebrate harvest. this community was started
6:58 am
in 1939 by a young woman who came from the mountains in search of food. gradually, she found that, ok, this place is quite better for her because it's close to the water and civilisation can grow up. so, finally, she brings her family here, followed by her brother, and this particular village is the entire family, her own clan. really? all come from that one woman? yeah, that's right. really? fascinating, wow! this is a much—loved annual celebration, and people of all ages gather to muck in, using fishing methods that have been passed down through generations. dig it in. yeah? dig it in. a little stumping, like this? yeah. yeah, stumping. yeah? then you pull it towards you, and you've got to... 0h, we got to pull the stick, yeah, at the top... and look! they laugh you can't see this. have you got something? it's just full of fish. 0k. it's just full of fish,
6:59 am
but don't look. this is today's catch? wow! that is pretty good. and this, you will cook now? he translates yeah? excellent, wow. beautiful. good—looking fish! so, my trek across india from border to border is almost over. and it's been a real journey of discovery for me off the beaten track. this isn't india on tap, kind of instant gratification, which some people are accustomed to. but the rewards, if you make the effort, are immense. asnake?! ooh! hey! wow! can they bite? yeah, it does. it bites? is it poisonous? no, not much. not much?! can i get out now?
7:00 am
but things are slowly changing. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today: people who are wrongly imprisoned will no longer have their living costs taken out of their compensation payments, following the case of andy malkinson who served 17 years for a crime he didn't commit. i thought to pay these people for doing what they are doing to me is the most sickening, abhorrent, repugnant thing eye could imagine. social media companies set to crack down on people smugglers using their platforms to to encourage asylum seekers to cross the english channel. president zelensky says russia has bombed a blood transfusion centre in ukraine, describing the attack as a war crime. after 60 years of trying, england will play a netball world
7:01 am
cup final today. australia stand between them and the sport's biggest prize. and after the wet and windy day for some of us yesterday, some improvements in the weather for today. for many of us they will be some sunny spells but also a few showers, which could be happier times. they will the full forecast throughout the programme. —— i will have. good morning. it's sunday the 6th of august. our main story: people who were wrongly convicted of crimes will no longer be charged living costs for the time they spent in prison. the ministry forjustice is scrapping the rule with immediate effect, following an outcry over the case of a man who spent 17 years injailfora crime he didn't commit. joe inwood has the details. there are many shocking things about the case of andy malkinson. ajury misled. dna evidence suppressed. 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
7:02 am
but for many, it was the revelation that andy malkinson would have to pay back some of his compensation to cover board and lodgings that was most shocking. the very idea of paying, once you've cleared your name, your captors is really repugnant. the guilty don't pay. why should the innocent? that's ridiculous. but from today, that will change. wrongly convicted prisoners like andy will no longer have to pay towards the cost of their own imprisonment. yeah, that's very welcome. very welcome, yeah. good. it's a step in the right direction but much more needs to be changing, too. you know, you don't want to putjust a sticking plaster on something that's, you know, mortally wounded. it needs much more. there's been a real problem... sentiments echoed by sir bob neill. he chairs thejustice select committee and had called for this change. when the state makes an error, it's right and proper that the state accepts that as swiftly as possible and, secondly, that the state then doesn't try
7:03 am
and put needless obstacles in the way of somebody seeking recompense. key among the obstacles is a new test, introduced in 2014, that means that victims of miscarriages ofjustice need to prove their innocence beyond reasonable doubt. that is an extremely difficult hurdle to meet and that is why hardly anyone is now getting compensation anymore. even very serious cases where people have been in prison for murder or rape for years, for cases which were accepted as miscarriages ofjustice, are not meeting this test because it's so brutal. it's cruel. and it needs to change. for now, andy is surviving on benefits. he says getting compensation could take two years and will be kept. they should be making sure that i'm
7:04 am
compensated speedily and also, even the amount is kind of insulting because they've capped it at ten years. how is that possible, you know? the more time that you've been tortured and held captive wrongfully, the more you should get. they didn't cap my imprisonment but they'll cap the money that they're obliged to pay in compensation. cheering and applause when andy malkinson left the court of appeal, his name was finally cleared. his fight forjustice has been a long and difficult one. even with today's announcement, it is not yet over. joe inwood, bbc news. we will have more on that story after 7:30am. with more on a joy is after 7:30am. with more on a joy is a story for england netball ben has
7:05 am
news. let me explain. england's netballers will take part in their first ever world cup final this afternoon. they'll face the 11—time champions australia after winning a dramatic semifinal against new zealand. ben croucher has more. england are going to the final of the world cup for the first time! england's roses in full bloom, blossoming on the biggest stage of all. how does a world cup final sound? it's dream come true for us. i think to do it here for the world cup, it'sjust so, so special. i don't think anybody backed us, but we did and we stuck to our bubble. i'm just so proud of the girls. defending champions new zealand had beaten england in the last three semi—finals, but england were turning history over. six unanswered points sealed their spot in today's final and once again captivated a country. # netball�*s coming home! sound familiar? england's footballers know that beat. they're singing to the roses�* tune now. said leah williamson.

and even with their own world cup to focus on our, the lionesses are beaming with pride. we look at our socials, it's great that the time difference isn't too far out and it's just so great to have that support and hopefully we are able to bring back a good medal for our home nation. england know today's opponents well. victory over australia! wow, wow, wow! other interjections can also sum up how they stunned australia in the group stage. but having now beaten the top two teams in the world in three days, they fear no—one. to see them take the crucial step forward today, beating number two in the world is just incredible. i've been a part of the roses team that have been on a huge journey and these guys have taken a massive step forward. they are an absolute inspiration. from capetown reaching the summit is seldom simple, but the view from up high can be quite something. ben croucher, bbc news. you can watch that on bbc at five p. m.. social media companies are set to crack down on posts by people

7:29 am
to keep those stories and memories alive. you're watching breakfast. still to come on today's programme — we'll meet three rowers whose attempt to circumnavigate britain went badly wrong at the mull of kintyre, prompting a major rescue. that's at 8:50. a harrowing story. our main story today is that victims of miscarriages ofjustice will no longer be charged for the living costs accrued while they were wrongly held in prison. the government's decision follows a public outcry over the case of andrew malkinson, who spent 17 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. his solicitor is emily bolton, from the charity law practice appeal, shejoins us from dorset. thanks for taking the time to talk thanks for taking the time to talk to us, emily. i think a lot of people willjust be astonished that
7:30 am
this practice was still continuing. you have to pay back for the time you spent in prison out of your compensation payments. can you just explain how it works at the moment? the can you just explain how it works at the moment?— can you just explain how it works at the moment? the rule was you could have deducted _ the moment? the rule was you could have deducted from _ the moment? the rule was you could have deducted from any _ the moment? the rule was you could. have deducted from any compensation you were awarded a proportion of your saved living expenses for the time you are in prison. now, that rule was absolutely nasty. that meant that andrew malkinson, when he walked out the gate, thought that he was going to lose, essentially, board and lodging costs from the people, he had to pay back the people, he had to pay back the people he says kidnapped him. so people he says kidnapped him. 50 andy is very pleased that this law has now been withdrawn, but he thinks this is just the beginning has now been withdrawn, but he thinks this isjust the beginning of the reforms that are needed about compensation full up this rule was nasty, frankly, and i think the public agreed about that. but there are two more aspects that are problematic, first of all, people
7:31 am
who are wrongfully convicted, there is a cap, a £1 million cap on compensation and, frankly, that is just me. and served 17 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit and it is capped at £1 million. and i ask your viewers, how much would you need to receive to spend 17 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit? but the real problem, the real problem with this statute that we are changing is that prisoners like andy, people have been wrongfully convicted, are forced to prove their innocence a second time. so andy's case has been caused by the court of appeal, they proved it. but this says he has to go through another process a second time proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is innocent. and that is wicked stop what you have raised two important points there. yes, a change in the law that is very welcome, as you said, but it is imperfect. welcome, as you said, but it is imperfect-—
7:32 am
welcome, as you said, but it is imerfect. , ., ., imperfect. one is about the level of compensation- _ imperfect. one is about the level of compensation. there _ imperfect. one is about the level of compensation. there is _ imperfect. one is about the level of compensation. there is one - imperfect. one is about the level of compensation. there is one rate . imperfect. one is about the level of compensation. there is one rate upj compensation. there is one rate up to ten years and another rate over ten years. it feels like a blunt instrument. it is the burden of proof, proving innocence once again. how would you like to see that reformed? ads, how would you like to see that reformed?— reformed? a prisoner whose conviction — reformed? a prisoner whose conviction has _ reformed? a prisoner whose conviction has been - reformed? a prisoner whose conviction has been quashed reformed? a prisoner whose i conviction has been quashed on reformed? a prisoner whose - conviction has been quashed on the basis that it is wrong should automatically be entitled to compensation. we should revert to the old system is where that took place. it simply takes too long. and he has been out of prison for 2.5 years and he still does not know where he stands. it will be many months if not years before he knows where he stands. he is living off benefits, he is homeless. people should be met on the steps of the court of appeal with a package that means that they know where they are going to sleep that night, they know how they are going to live for the coming weeks and months, while the rest of the conversation is sorted
7:33 am
out. andy may have an action against the police, he may go the compensation route, he doesn't know yet. but whatever he does he should be living in limbo in the meantime. yes. just on that proving innocence once again, the challenge there is finding the evidence and finding the proof to prove your innocence and in some cases you asking the people who wrongly convicted you in the first place to say that they were wrong and that's difficult to get hold of stop yes. and that's difficult to get hold of sto es. . . and that's difficult to get hold of sto es. , , ., stop yes. this is part of the absurdity- _ stop yes. this is part of the absurdity. in _ stop yes. this is part of the absurdity. in so _ stop yes. this is part of the absurdity. in so many - stop yes. this is part of the | absurdity. in so many cases stop yes. this is part of the i absurdity. in so many cases of wrongful conviction there has unfortunately been police misconduct and that means that the very file you are looking into define the evidence of actual innocence to demonstrate do you actually innocent beyond a reasonable doubt to get compensation, that file has been corrupted. we know and andy's case, rinses, the police have admitted to unlawful destruction of evidence and they have admitted that this practice was common, that it was
7:34 am
common. two hausa wrongfully convicted person, as of post to be able to find the evidence and prove that they innocent when the very law enforcement agency that put them in prison in the first place is messing with it. ~ , , ., prison in the first place is messing withit. ~ , ,. with it. the ministry ofjustice in the statement _ with it. the ministry ofjustice in the statement have _ with it. the ministry ofjustice in the statement have said - with it. the ministry ofjustice in| the statement have said fairness with it. the ministry ofjustice in i the statement have said fairness is a core pillar of ourjustice system and it will ensure victims do not face paying twice for crimes they did not commit. presumably with these additional challenges you have been outlining, for some people they just give up seeking full compensation. what sort of long—term impact does that have on their lives and their ability to rehabilitate after the experiences?- and their ability to rehabilitate after the experiences? well, take victor, he after the experiences? well, take victor. he was — after the experiences? well, take victor, he was exonerated - after the experiences? well, take victor, he was exonerated in i after the experiences? well, take l victor, he was exonerated in 2013, ten years ago, he is still fighting for compensation. in his case it is in the european court of human rights at the moment arguing that the presumption of innocence is offended by this peculiar english
7:35 am
rule that says you have to prove yourinnocent rule that says you have to prove your innocent after your conviction has been turned over by the court of appeal. absolutely it is impacting people long—term. also the ministry ofjustice saying that this means they should have to pay twice, they shouldn't have to pay twice, but they shouldn't have to fight twice, thatis they shouldn't have to fight twice, that is what is so important here to get across. the current system means they have to go through the trauma of having another court battle in order to have some chance of having the financial means to rebuild their lives. compensation is a dirty word as far as i'm concerned. you cannot compensate andrew malkinson for spending 17 years in prison for crime didn't commit. you can, however, give him some of the tools for rebuilding his life, whether thatis for rebuilding his life, whether that is therapeutic, whether that is a dutch passport, because that is what he wants, because he would like to live in his adopted home country of the netherlands, or whether it is cash stop he needs all of those things. can wejust

7:46 am
wales, merseyside, pushing through shropshire into the midlands. the show is becoming more widespread into the afternoon and could be heavy and thunder across scotland, northern ireland, northern parts of england. dry with sunny spells and higher than they were yesterday the temperatures because of the more sunshine, the high teens to maybe 20 or 21. this evening and overnight the showers will fade away with clear skies taking us into tomorrow morning. it could be a bit fresh and chilly in the countryside. those other temperatures in towns and cities, 7—12. monday, for many of us, this area of high pressure is dry and settled but this area of low pressure moves in from the west and it means we will see more cloud into the afternoon across northern ireland, south—west wealth in south west england but otherwise, it's a dry day for most of us —— wales. showers across scotland, northern england, northern ireland. sunny spells. temperatures 18—21. late in
7:47 am
the day, more cloud towards the south—west. it will move east during tuesday. some spots of rain across england and wales but nothing too heavy. not like it was yesterday. some patchy rain clearing into the afternoon. dry and bright of the weather on tuesday across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. temperatures once again the high teens to the low 20s. i know everyone has been talking about when is someone coming back? it is about thejet stream. up is someone coming back? it is about the jet stream. up until now it has been to the south of the uk, driving the weather systems but through wednesday and thursday you can see it's to the north the uk. that allows pressure to build and air to start to come in from the south. it's going to become more settled and late wednesday into thursday, we start to see those temperatures rise and the humidity will rise with it as well and it may not last all that long but you notice on thursday that temperatures are getting into the mid— potentially high 20s before
7:48 am
friday, it turns fresh again and the return of something more unsettled so yes, summer is on the way, just very briefly. so yes, summer is on the way, 'ust very briefly.— very briefly. one day only! we will take it. very briefly. one day only! we will take it- come _ very briefly. one day only! we will take it. come on! _ very briefly. one day only! we will take it. come on! thanks, - very briefly. one day only! we will take it. come on! thanks, simon. | very briefly. one day only! we will| take it. come on! thanks, simon. i do like it when _ take it. come on! thanks, simon. i do like it when his _ take it. come on! thanks, simon. i do like it when his map _ take it. come on! thanks, simon. i do like it when his map goes i take it. come on! thanks, simon. 1. do like it when his map goes orange. that's the best bit. time now for the latest technology news with click. pizza baking, burger flipping, salad tossing. over the years, we've seen food robots chop,
7:49 am
fry and saute their way across the kitchen, saving us from one job at a time. i'm such a lazy chef. i love eating the food but i want to make making it as quick as possible. see, i don't mind cooking, as long as you don't mind eating the same stuff every day. well, i think there's a solution for both of our problems. right! over the years, we've seen more and more things become automated in the kitchen with various gadgets but now, the robotic kitchen may be upon us. this is the first—to—market robokitchen from moley robotics. this is the first—to—market robokitchen from moley robotics. it's a fully reliable product which you can put, actually, at your home or restaurant, everywhere, and it's safe. it's time for lunch. what are you making me? today, we actually want to make omelette. choose the recipe. its arm sets the temperature, grasps items and moves with military precision to deliver ingredients. next operation is pour the egg. and it knows how much to measure? yes!
7:50 am
look, it's got the egg in the ladle! yeah. and it's just trying to get any extra bits off so it doesn't drip. got to keep the kitchen clean, otherwise a human's got to do that cleaning. yes. pre—training with recipe data and sensors teaches the arm exact amounts and actions. and now, it's taking the next implement. how's it going to mix? in a slightly robotic way but it's doing the job! of course, you don't have to stand by and watch but for the first time, at least, it's pretty mesmerising. it's off to get the cheese! ah, it dropped a bit. still a bit stuck to the tongs. it's going to shake that off and then, the tongs back there — tidier than any human would ever be. also, it's designed for constantly cooking, so it can cook without stopping in the hotel or in senior house or in restaurant. i wants to serve for ten people at two o'clock, for example, and it can start cooking to be able to serve ten
7:51 am
or 15 people at two o'clock. a human does still need to do the dishes, though. there we go — so far, so good. and now, to try it. lovely! and the big difference between this and my own is this should turn out the same every time! so far, ten chefs have contributed to over 50 recipes to the moley database, ranging from stir—fries to curries, and more will be added when it becomes available in september. but there is still manual labour involved. a lot of chopped—up vegetables here, which looks like a human has done most of the work already. yes, but these vegetables and this container could be delivered from a delivery service as a pack for this particular recipe. ok, so you could even avoid the chopping. dishes like this sweet potato soup can be personalised and, in future, you'll be able to input your own recipes as well. i don't eat garlic or onion, so i've asked for it
7:52 am
to be taken out. though it does take the robot several days to get the new recipes right. like anything, you know, you usually need time to perfect anything which you are making. that's right. practice makes perfect, even for robots. absolutely. now for the liquid. that's stock, spiced coconut milk and some seasoning. ah, time for salt and pepper. laughs. that looks like such a clumsy stir! it is impressive, but costing a whopping 50,000 quid, who's going to shell out for this spectacle? first of all, it's a lot of place when the chef doesn't want to work — for example, night shift, because nobody wants to sit down during the whole night and wait the order, you know? or if you wants to have a nice dish in the middle of nowhere and, for example, a chef doesn't want to work there, he wants to work in the centre
7:53 am
of london, so that could be also the good options. i can imagine it being used in the commercial space but i do struggle to imagine many people actually having it in their home. the strategy of the company is continue working on the machine and continue to make it more and more affordable so, one day, for sure, as we promised before, it will cost much less — maybe 25, maybe 30k, so that's our goal. that's still quite a jump from a standard kitchen and it will sometimes need a wipe down. i've just been told to stand back as things might get messy. don't know how messy. i normally make more than that, to be fair. for me, it's been totally effortless, but the real proof is not in the pudding, but in this soup. mmm! delicious! oh, it's got a bit of a kick to it. mmm, yeah, it's really good. very well blended by the robot and the blender. yeah, and the chef who create this recipe. and the software engineer that trained the robot what to do —
7:54 am
there's more people involved in the making of this soup than i'd have thought. good, though! spencer: now, we know that fast fashion isn't great for the planet, yet many stores still sell trendy, cheap clothes are here today and gone tomorrow. but there are ways to make this trillion—dollar clothing industry more sustainable, as francesca hashemi has been finding out. francesca: millions of tonnes of clothes are sent to landfill every year, making the industry a major contributor of greenhouse gases and a massive consumer of a finite resource — water. fashion is the second most polluting industry after aviation and shipping. it accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions and it's very water intensive. from manufacturing textiles for cotton t—shirts to washing
7:55 am
or dry—cleaning clothes, the industry relies heavily on h20. but some people are trying to change that. here at acs, we also use water. we're a large laundry. we believe that in the next 12 months, we'll get to a stage where we won't take any water from the mains. this fashion hub rents, resells, repairs and sanitises pre—loved clothes from the high street or luxury brands. but how sustainable is it? even though we might be working with some of these fast—fashion brands, we're wanting them to help change their consumer mindset, so in being able to rent or get second—hand fashion, rather than this kind of model ofjust consuming co nsta ntly. 50, working with these brands, we're helping them to increase their sustainability credentials, but we're also stopping garments from ending up in landfill. the way in which we handle the clothes on site and how
7:56 am
we are carbon neutral, how we have gone through a process to minimise our c02 emissions on ourjourney to net zero, on our reduction of water, we know that how we handle them here is a much more sustainable way than what we all do in our own homes. talking of water — the entire operation once used about 20,000 litres of the stuff every day. about 50% - that's 10,000 or 11,000 litres — that was used in laundry. but they've managed to halve this by using something scotland has plenty of. acs now harvests rainwater from the roof, then recycles it to use for cleaning and preparing clothes for customers. what we have is — there's three pipes. the first pipe is actually the reused water. so, this is the water from the laundry and what it's done is at the end of one of the final cycles, it's actually pumped out
7:57 am
and actually pumped in — you can see along the pipe — and pumped into this tank. the computer inside the laundry knows when the next cycle starts. it activates the pump that pumps the water out the tank, brings it up and brings it in at that inlet there. the second pipe that you see is actually the reused water from the coolant system. there's a tank in the floor above that's a hot tank and that water is actually pumped in — again, activated by the computer in the laundry machine — that's actually hot water in there. and what it does is it means that we don't have to heat it. and then the next one is for cold washes and that water is the rainwater harvesting, which is actually, again, stored in a tank upstairs. so, all the water that's collected for use on the laundry, it's not always going to clean, especially if you're reusing it. how do you deal with that? as you can see the waste pipe there, and the waste pipe goes through this very large filter and it takes all the microplastics out. and the waste water then goes into the normal drainage system, the mains, and then, what it's done is processed
7:58 am
the way that normal water would be processed. the team partnered with the university of west of scotland to create a digital twin of their water consumption, and some of their findings are pretty interesting. so, at the moment, acs utilises 5.5% of the roof area, which is about 1,000 litres of water per day. if it utilised the whole of the roof area, it would be able to collect around 18,000 litres per day. this would almost be sufficient not to utilise anything from external sources. the entire operation being self—sufficient in terms of their water consumption is aspirational and, of course, variable. but it's also a great example of what one clothing hub is doing to increase their sustainability credentials. but in this fast—moving fashion economy, what more could the industry do?
7:59 am
in terms of technology, we need a lot more data in the fashion industry. currently, the majority of fashion brands will only publish their tier—one suppliers on their website, so the people who manufacture and make the clothes. when it comes to tier two, which is things like the making of the fabric, and then tier three, which is your raw materials, the majority of brands don't actually know where that's coming from, and i think, moving forward, that's the type of data we're going to need to be capturing in order to avoid greenwashing. that's it for the short version of the programme. the full—length show can be found on iplayer. the programme. the full-length show can be found on iplayer.— can be found on iplayer. yeah, thanks for— can be found on iplayer. yeah, thanks for watching. _ can be found on iplayer. yeah, thanks for watching. we'll i can be found on iplayer. yeah, thanks for watching. we'll see |
8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today. people who are wrongly imprisoned will no longer have their living costs taken out of their compenation payments, following the case of andy malkinson who served 17 years for a crime he didn't commit. i thought to pay these people for doing what they are doing to me is the most sickening, abhorrent, repugnant thing i could imagine. social media companies set to crack down on people smugglers using their platforms to to encourage asylum seekers to cross the english channel. after 60 years of trying, england will play a netball world cup final today. australia stand between them and the sport's biggest prize. and after the wet and windy day for some of us yesterday, some improvements in the weather for today.
8:01 am
for many of us there will be some sunny spells, but also a few showers which could be heavy at times. i will have the full forecast throughout the programme. it's sunday the 6th of august. our main story. people who were wrongly convicted of crimes will no longer be charged "living costs" for the time they spent in prison. the ministry ofjustice is scrapping the rule with immediate effect, following an outcry over the case of a man who spent 17 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. joe inwood has the details. there are many shocking things about the case of andy malkinson. ajury misled. dna evidence suppressed. 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. but for many, it was the revelation that andy malkinson would have to pay back some of his compensation to cover board and lodgings that was most shocking. the very idea of paying, once you've cleared your name,
8:02 am
your captors, is really repugnant. the guilty don't pay. why should the innocent? that's ridiculous. but from today, that will change. wrongly convicted prisoners like andy will no longer have to pay towards the cost of their own imprisonment. yeah, that's very welcome. very welcome, yeah. good. it's a step in the right direction but much more needs to be changing, too. you know, you don't want to putjust a sticking plaster on something that's, you know, mortally wounded. it needs much more. there's been a real problem... sentiments echoed by sir bob neill. he chairs thejustice select committee and had called for this change. when the state makes an error, it's right and proper that the state accepts that as swiftly as possible and, secondly, that the state then doesn't try and put needless obstacles in the way of somebody seeking recompense.
8:03 am
key among those obstacles is a new test, introduced in 2014, that means that victims of miscarriages ofjustice need to prove their innocence beyond reasonable doubt. that is an extremely difficult hurdle to meet and that is why hardly anyone is now getting compensation any more. even very serious cases where people have been in prison for murder or rape for years, for cases which were accepted as miscarriages ofjustice, are not meeting this test because it's so brutal. it's cruel. and it needs to change. for now, andy is surviving on benefits. he says getting compensation could take two years and will be kept. they should be making sure that i'm compensated speedily and also, even the amount is kind of insulting because they've capped it at ten years.
8:04 am
cheering and applause. when andy malkinson left the court of appeal, his name was finally cleared. his fight forjustice has been a long and difficult one. even with today's announcement, it is not yet over. joe inwood, bbc news. click that was our main story this morning but now to some of the other big news today. england's netballers will take part in their first—ever world cup final this afternoon. they'll face the 11—time champions australia after winning a dramatic semifinal against new zealand. ben croucher has more. england's roses in full bloom, blossoming on the biggest stage of all. how does a world cup final sound? it's a dream come true for us, i think, to do it here for the world cup. it's just so, so special. i don't think anybody backed us,
8:05 am
but we did and we stuck to our bubble. i'm just so proud of the girls. defending champions new zealand had beaten england in the last three semifinals, but england were turning history over — six unanswered points, sealed their spot in today's final and once again captivated a country. sound familiar? england's footballers know that beats they're singing to the roses tune now — world cup final baby, said leah williamson. and even with their own world cup to focus on, the lionesses are beaming with pride. we look at our socials. it's great that the time difference isn't too far out, and it's just so great to have that support and hopefully we're able to bring back a good medal for our home nation. england know today's opponents well. victory over australia. wow. other interjections can also sum up how they stunned australia in the group stage. but having now beaten the top two teams in the world in three days,
8:06 am
they fear no—one. to see them take that crucial step forward today. beat in number two in the world is just incredible. i've been a part of a rose team that's been on a huge journey and these guys have just taken a massive step forward in cape town, reaching the summit is seldom simple, but the view from up high can be quite something. ben croucher, bbc news. a russian guided air bomb has hit a blood transfusion centre in north—eastern ukraine, killing and injuring people, president zelensky has said. in a social media post, he described the alleged attack, in the city of kupiansk as a war crime. russia had vowed to take revenge after two ukrainian attacks on its ships in recent days. social media companies are set to crack down on posts by people smugglers that encourage asylum seekers to cross the english channel. platforms like facebook and tiktok will work with the national crime agency. our political correspondent georgia roberts can tell us more. georgia, how will this work?
8:07 am
this is a voluntary partnership that will build on and approach the government says has been successfully used by tech firms to tackle harmful content for example around eating disorders and extremism and it will redirect people away from the two are presented with the content with alternative messages to try to undermine the damaging content they searched for and removing post together a suspension is something the prime minister wants to see. for example and group discounts on small boats, free places for children and offers to falsify documents. the labour party does not think much of this, they say the home secretary has lost control of the asylum policy, 50,000 detectable crossings this year. the liberal democrats say this year. the liberal democrats say this is tinkering around the edges but this is the best announcement in a week of a serious announcement on small boats as a government looks to get back control after narrative
8:08 am
after a tough week last week on the government asylum policy. we sought delays after attempts to move around 500 asylum seekers onto the stock on borage in dorset, but was meant to happen in nature light but reports it could come tomorrow although we are still not quite sure that will be the case. oliver dowden in the papers this morning defending the accommodation barge against what he calls howls of outrage and the home secretary talking about the government asylum policy saying lawyers who submit false asylum claims on behalf of illegal immigrants should face jail. for immigrants should face 'ail. for now, immigrants should face 'ail. for new. unmet immigrants should face jail. for now, thank you. more than 50 supporters of the former prime minister of pakistan, imran khan, have been detained after protesting against him being sentenced to three years in jail. mr khan had called for his supporters to demonstrate around the country after he was found guilty of not declaring money earned from selling gifts he received in office. he denies the charges and says he will appeal.
8:09 am
the former lost prophets singer and convicted paedophile ian watkins has reportedly been stabbed in prison. newspaper reports say he was attacked at hmp wakefield, where he's serving a 29—year sentence for child sex offences. the prison service said police are investigating an incident that happened yesterday. an investigation is under way after at least 57 competitors were taken ill following a world triathlon race in sunderland. water tests before the event showed high levels of e coli but british triathlon said the samples were taken from outside the swim area. the uk health security agency is investigating. and in paris, a swimming tournament in the river seine has been cancelled because of poor water quality. the open water swimming world cup, which was due to take place this weekend, was a test event in advance of next year's olympics. officials said heavy rain had caused problems.
8:10 am
heavy rain causing all sorts of problems in germany. if you thought the weather here was bad a city in germany has had to deploy snowploughs after it was battered with hailstones which formed into foot—high drifts storm. i think they got out a couple of hundred firefighters in order to clear the roads. it happened in the southwest german city of reutlingen. another illustration of the slightly crazy weather patterns we are experiencing at the moment. if crazy weather patterns we are experiencing at the moment. if you are 'ust experiencing at the moment. if you are just waking _ experiencing at the moment. if you are just waking up _ experiencing at the moment. if you are just waking up this _ experiencing at the moment. if you are just waking up this morning i experiencing at the moment. if you are just waking up this morning a arejust waking up this morning a reminder it is not december. some crazy weather around so to try and make sense of what is happening, he may not have better news but he might make sense of it for us. here is simon. you get lots of energy and heatin is simon. you get lots of energy and heat in the atmosphere and you get the hail stance developing. more likely to see that in summer than
8:11 am
winter. there you go. none of that here, we had stopped hunting yesterday and that brought us some strong winds and heavy rain for some of us but this morning it is much quieter, look at this lovely scene this morning, blue skies in coventry, some showers around, giving us the opportunity for some rainbows in north was this morning. a mixture of sunshine and sunny spells through today, the showers could be heavy, maybe even dundry later this afternoon but there will be a good deal of dry weather as well. this is the satellite picture from this morning, this is storm antoni clearing to the east. you see a window of fine weather before the next atlantic weather system start to move their way in later on monday. but for it today, still some rain across eastern areas of england, some showers into the afternoon. very gusty winds along the north sea coast of the rice and showers gather across scotland and
8:12 am
northern and northern ireland, northern england, they could be heavy and potentially thundery, temperatures higher than they were yesterday, in some parts of the midlands it was only 12 or 13 degrees but 17 or 18 today. throughout this evening that showers should fade away, a pleasant end to the weekend and overnight with clear skies it could potentially, fresh in the countryside. these are the temperatures in towns and cities, seven in aberdeen, io temperatures in towns and cities, seven in aberdeen, 10 degrees in london. into monday we have this window of fine weather, higher pressure at in and system just a small one will slowly move and later on monday. for most of the day, monday not looking too bad with sunny spells for many of us, some scattered showers across northern ireland and scotland and scotland and northern england, some in the south—east but plenty of dry weather. sunshine late in the day, the cloud increasing from the south—west, temperatures tomorrow

8:15 am
but the barge's coming and they will be members of our community. so we wanted to show them that we welcome them as members of our community. can you understand those people who say they're against the barge and they don't think that welcoming the refugees in this way is a priority? i think that everybody is entitled to their own opinions, _ and i can also see why. people would be fearful. there's lots going on around the uk at the moment with other towns i i having a lot of trouble because of, i you know, the immigration situation. it'd be really nice if we can show what portland can do. _ the positive, the positive we can bring from this. i the tensions over the asylum barge plans concern weymouth resident and blogger afshin. he wants to highlight the contribution made by many immigrants like his iranian father parvez, who arrived in the uk aged 16, speaking no english. my dad came over in in the early '70s from iran just after the iranian revolution. yeah. went on to get a degree,
8:16 am
became a civil engineer, worked for the weymouth and portland council and has run many businesses in weymouth and employed lots of local people and been a part of the community for tho years now. afshin says he understands people's concerns about a lack of consultation about the barge and potential pressure on local services. but he wants people to think of asylum seekers as individuals. try and base your opinions on facts rather than speculation. people are people at the end of the day and we need to empathise with them and understand where people have come from. 0k. with no certainty about when asylum seekers will arrive. heather and lisa are on standby with their welcome packs. aware that not everyone agrees with their response to the barge and the people who will stay on it. we'rejoined now by the shadow immigration minister, stephen kinnock. good morning. your party has their own plan to deal with these asylum seekers under height numbers that the country is attracting at the

8:34 am
time england _ did you believe you would be last time england had such promise and they came forth and i think a lot of people doubted them. a lot of people have left and they have quite a young squad with some experience so i think i thought it would be an england versus jamaica final. jamaica didn't quite make it but i not complaining.— jamaica didn't quite make it but i not complaining. underdog but hi expectation- _ not complaining. underdog but hi expectation. they _ not complaining. underdog but hi expectation. they beat _ not complaining. underdog but hi expectation. they beat australia | not complaining. underdog but hil expectation. they beat australia in the group stages. thea;r expectation. they beat australia in the group stages-— the group stages. they beat australia for _ the group stages. they beat australia for the _ the group stages. they beat australia for the first - the group stages. they beat australia for the first time i the group stages. they beat i australia for the first time ever in a world cup. australia will be seething. some people are saying that they beat them at the wrong point and should they have saved it till now but i think the confidence they will have of actually beating
8:35 am
them and they made so many changes in the game, 22 interchanges which is massive and that disrupt the team and the flow so i think the fact they managed to do that and still one, the only one the game by one. it was so tight. i watched the first part of the semifinal yesterday against new zealand and it was quite against new zealand and it was quite a stuttering start for england that i think again what can give us a bit of confidence as they came back from that and managed to find their flow. they had such resilience in the game against new zealand, and typically england of old would have followed away under the pressure but when it was a matter they came through. williams got an incredible pick—up and they won the game. i think there are a lot of positives going into the game. are a lot of positives going into the game-— are a lot of positives going into theuame. , ,, , the game. i'm surprised they don't aet a da the game. i'm surprised they don't get a day off- _ the game. i'm surprised they don't get a day off- they _ the game. i'm surprised they don't get a day off. they might - the game. i'm surprised they don't get a day off. they might be i the game. i'm surprised they don't get a day off. they might be a i the game. i'm surprised they don't get a day off. they might be a bit i get a day off. they might be a bit tired. , .

8:40 am
new club record signing, scored their opener. next up for them will be spain in wellington on friday. later this morning the defending champions the usa play sweden. the scottish premiership season is up and running as we told you earlier with celtic winning, rangers losing. we have to wait another week for the start of the premier league but this afternoon at wembley it's the traditional curtain—raiser, the community shield. the champions manchester city take on arsenal. the game usually features the winners of the title and the fa cup, but city won both last season as well as the champions league, of course, so arsenal are there as league runners—up. and city manager pep guardiola reckons his players are a bit underprepared due to the late finish to last season. so we finish two weeks later than arsenal, we start two weeks later than arsenal, so we are not in the best, best way, always we struggle to restart every season. but it's a final, hopefully our mentality can help us to be there and compete like we have to compete against them and try to win the title. very excited to play a final
8:41 am
and have the option to win a trophy. we're playing against a team that is the team to beat, is the best team in europe last season and we know what the standards and what we are going to need to win the game, but really excited. it was another golden day for great britain at the cycling world championships where they won five gold medals. at the velodrome in glasgow, britain's women won the team pursuit for the first time in nine years. in her home city katie archibald inspiring her team—mates elinor barker, josie knight and anna morris to beat new zealand by more than three seconds. britain's para athletes continue to show they're the best in the world. jaco van gass was involved in a british one—two in the men's c3 scratch race ahead of defending champion finlay graham. if medals were awarded for victory celebrations, then sam ruddock would top the podium. he had a nervous wait to see if he'd done enough in the c11 kilometre time trialfor gold. when he saw he had, this
8:42 am
is how he celebrated. pure joy at beating the world record holder and favourite, china's li zhangyu. away from the velodrome, there was a huge surprise in the men's downhill mountain bike race at fort william. charlie hatton arrived at the event never having won a world cup race, yet he conquered the rainswept muddy course and his rivals to win gold. fellow briton laurie greenland won bronze. great britain's ellie challis now has three gold medals to her name at the para swimming world championships in manchester, after winning the s3 200m freestyle. and maisie summers—newton broke the european record as she retained her sb6 100 metres title for her second gold of the week. she said she was in a really good placejust a year out from the paralympics in paris. she isjuggling all of she is juggling all of that training as well.
8:43 am
let's return now to our main story, which is that victims of miscarriages ofjustice will no longer be charged for the living costs accrued while they were wrongly held in prison. the ministry ofjustice decision follows a public outcry over the case of andrew malkinson, who spent 17 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit, and was told he may have to forfeit a quarter of his compensation to cover food and accommodation. he's been speaking to our correspondentjoe inwood. it seemed like a sick joke, i thought what's the justification for paying the prison service? cos you know, they don't treat you well in prison. they really don't. and they go over and above what. . .you're supposed to lose your liberty, not be tortured by them.
8:44 am
and i thought to pay these people for doing what they're doing to me is the most sickening, abhorrent, repugnant thing i could imagine. when you were speaking to the today programme and you made this point, you expressed yourself so eloquently there, there was a huge public reaction, wasn't there? how did it feel to have people react so strongly to your story? yeah, i wasn't sure how people would react to what i was saying, of course, because i'm not used to sitting in front of cameras. but, you know, i thought maybe they're apathetic, maybe people don't really understand the points i was making cos maybe i didn't make them clear. but i'm glad people have caught onto this. and it's notjust about people like me who've been wrongly convicted, it's a very important principle, i think, that should anybody be, god forbid,
8:45 am
sent down for something they haven't done, the very idea of paying once you've cleared your name your captors is really repugnant. the guilty don't pay. why should the innocent? that's ridiculous. you know. it comes across as sour grapes. it's like, ok, you've overturned your conviction, now we're going to take something from you. no, no. and those rules have changed, orwill change, that must be very good to hear. very welcome. yeah, good, it's a step in the right direction, but there's much more that needs changing, too. you don't want to putjust a sticking plaster on something that's mortally wounded. it needs much more. when you spoke before, you talked of how you were having to live on benefits when you came out. is that still the case, how are you doing now? i'm struggling. i'm living on benefits. i'm jobless, i don't have anyjob. i'm homeless, pretty much. i'm staying at a friend's house at the moment. but, yeah, i'm left pretty much bereft of everything.
8:46 am
do you have any indication of when you might get some compensation for your miscarriage of justice? no, but it's not going to be quick. that needs to change, actually. it takes something in the region of two years or so, and that's too long. because why should you have to then reprove that you've already proven by the overturning in the court you're innocent? in fact, you have to do it all over again. and it's a silly barrier that's been artificially erected. again, it's inexcusable, it's not justified. why? they should be making sure that i'm compensated speedily. and also, even the amount is kind of
8:47 am
insulting because that ten years, how is that possible? the more time that you've been tortured and held captive wrongfully, the more you should get. they didn't cap my imprisonment, but they'll cap the money that they're obliged to pay in compensation. has anyone from the government be in touch with you personally to say they're sorry for what you've gone through? no. no, they haven't. no. who knows why not? i don't know. probably don't care, do they? if rishi sunak is watching this now, would you like him to get in touch with you on behalf of the british state, just to apologise for what you've gone through? yes, i think that would go a long way, yeah, at least to recognise what they've done and and to recognise that things
8:48 am
need to change. and there is lots of things they can do to bring it back into balance. every innocent citizen in this country is at risk of having to go through what i went through. you know, it's not as rare as it seems, you know? it really isn't. 50 andy, what does the future hold? i can never get the years back that have been stolen from me. and so i feel very disadvantaged. i've got type one diabetes, that lowers your average life expectancy. so i really don't know. i'm trying to live well and eat well, but for what's left of it, i'd like to stay able bodied and able to enjoy what's left. maybe travel, like travel is a big thing with me. i'd like to go traveling again and explore parts of the world i've never seen and revisit parts that i have seen and just be no more stress. no more concerns about bills and trying to survive
8:49 am
and having enough to eat, just to be liberated in its fullest sense. so i can take as much enjoyment from what's left of life as i possibly can. and i think that's the least they owe me, the very least. picture the scene. it's the dead of night, pitch—black, and you're in a rowing boat which is seconds away from capsizing in rough seas, near dangerous rocks. that was the terrifying scenario facing three intrepid athletes as they tried to row around britain last year. thankfully they lived to tell the tale, which is being featured on the channel 5 show coastguards: search and rescue sos tonight. let's take a look. i can honestly say i've never, ever been so scared in my life. when you're trying to row against mother nature, when you're isolated, when you're sort of helpless, there's no hiding out there, no hiding at all. i was definitely thinking about my family, for sure, not
8:50 am
being able to see anybody again. that was my biggest fear. we could see a lot of movement on the boat. the sea state at the time with the swell, anything between ten and 15ft at times. the amount of boat that was above the waters was only about 3ft. there was nothing more that any of them could do to save the boat. they had to get off that boat for their own safety. jason mckinley, sophie harris and lamin deenjoin us now. presumably you have looked back at that footage but what is it like being reminded of what you went through? it being reminded of what you went throuuh? . . being reminded of what you went throuuh? . , , being reminded of what you went throuuh? ., , ., through? it was the first time last niuht and through? it was the first time last night and seeing _ through? it was the first time last night and seeing some _ through? it was the first time last night and seeing some of- through? it was the first time last night and seeing some of the i night and seeing some of the photographs and memories of what went through last year. lots of positive ways as well. it wasn't so
