British female finalist since 1978. Aims to become. And scientists have confirmed that they have found that people who drink beer live longer but they dont know why. Coffey. Coffee. Good morning. Its tuesday, july 11th. Welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. A wide ranging review of the british workplace has urged the government to provide good work for all by creating more skilled, well paid jobs. The study led by a former adviser to tony blair recommends that people working in whats known as the gig economy should receive better protection and their employers should make National Insurance contributions. Theresa may, who commissioned the report, says the conservative government will always be on the side of hard workers and good employers. Labour say the review does not go far enough. The report calls for an end to the Cash In Hand Economy. Workers working in whats known as the gig economy should receive new Legal Protections and their employers should make National Insurance contributions. And low paid workers should not be stuck at the minimum living wage or face insecurity. In the last ten years, the economys generated record numbers ofjobs and the lowest Unemployment Rate in nearly half a century. But according to the man who led a government commissioned review, more jobs hasnt always meant more good jobs. In my view, theres too much work, particularly at the bottom end of the Labour Market, that isnt of a high enough quality and theres too many people not having their rights fully respected and there are too many people treated at work like Cogs In A Machine rather than being human beings and there are too many people who dont see a route from their currentjob to progress and earn more and to do better. The review will recommend that if someone is controlled and supervised then theyre classified as a worker, or dependent contractor, rather than Self Employed. Those workers may be entitled to benefits like holiday pay and employers may have to pay National Insurance at 13. 8 . Thats broadly in line with a Landmark Court ruling in a case brought by this former uber driver yaseen aslam. Uber is appealing the ruling. I dont think it helps me as a worker for what ive been fighting for in the tribunal, and thats whats concerning because the workers have not been involved in the process in this report. The review also makes a bigger point that Self Employed work, from plumbers to painters, yields far less tax for the treasury, especially if the work is cash in hand. For consumers, though, the recommendations are likely to mean Inexpensive Services will no longer be as cheap. Andy verity, bbc news. We can speak to our assistant Political Editor norman smith. Is all this going to happen, norman . That is a big question indeed. There are certainly a lot of enthusiasm as reports suggest today but so far from government there is no evidence that will be a legislation. Were hearing that mrs may want to sort of practices mr taylor is suggesting you see in the gig economy such as ensuring Independent Contractors can have access to holiday pay and sick pay and minimum wage. She was to see this spread throughout the gig economy. What is less clear is whether she will legislate to make this happen whether this will be a template of ideas which it is hoped companies will aspire to. The Trades Unions take the view that is not enough teeth in the proposals being outlined today and they point to the Fa Ct Outlined Today and they point to the fact that a number of big unions have already started legal action against some of those companies to try and when legally enforceable protections for people working in the so called big economy. Gig. Given her very narrow commons majority, given the fact that the next parliamentary session is absolutely dominated by brexit that is very little time and room for manoeuvre when it comes to pushing through big pieces of legislation so thatis through big pieces of legislation so that is a possibility that although mrs may will welcome this report she may hold back from committing to introducing legislation to promote it. You mention some of the reaction from the unions. Tell us more about that. What has been striking is that both business and the unions have not been entirely supportive of the reforms. Business somewhat cool because they fear unintended consequences from the extension of Employment Rights and the minimum wage and the unions because they ta ke wage and the unions because they take the view that many of these so called Gig Companies are hiding behind technology to avoid paying their employees the minimum wage and to pass on to the normal Employment Rights. In effect they are seeking to operate with casual labour where they are not required to pass on various Employment Rights. They are pressing for much more sweeping action such asjust pressing for much more sweeping action such as just banning outright serialise contracts. Similarly giving employers than rights to go to Employment Tribunal s without having to pay £1100 in advance. This is quite a symbolic moment for theresa may because it is one of those big issues which she was to say as Prime Minister she is now focused on tackling and all that is trying to inject a bit of momentum and ambition back into a premiership after that very bruising General Election. A large part of the conversation around this is about workers rights. Also what about the aspect of tax raising as a result of this . Matthew taylor in his report does not actually focus on the amount of tax that is potentially being last from companies not having to pay National Insurance contributions because gig workers they will say im not bad employees. He does not specifically say in the Report Anything that would suggest the should pay National Insurance but clearly that underpins a lot of the argument around me today because a billion is being lost because these companies are not obliged to pay those National Insurance contributions. Given the very bruising recession the chancellor got when tries in the last budget to raise National Insurance contributions on small business, you suspect the government will be very wa ry suspect the government will be very wary indeed about looking again at possible changes, at least in the short term, to raising National Insurance on the Self Employed and small business. We will bring you the Prime Minister s speech a little later the sour. We will show you the same line. We also expect to hear from Matthew Taylor, you the same line. We also expect to hearfrom Matthew Taylor, the you the same line. We also expect to hear from Matthew Taylor, the offer of the report. That is a really interesting door we can assure you. The journalists are all waiting there for the two of them to appear. They will speak to the media and outline a bit more about what is proposed. We will hear festival from Matthew Taylor and then from the Prime Minister. If you have got any questions about what the Taylor Report means for you, you can get in touch by twitter. Bbcaskthis. President trumps eldest son is facing further allegations about a meeting he held with a russian lawyer during last years us election campaign. The New York Times says donald trump junior was informed in advance by email that the information offered by the woman was part of a russian government effort to help his fathers campaign. Donald trumpjunior has defended his decision to meet the woman, who claimed to have damaging material about his fathers election rival, Hillary Clinton. 0ur Washington correspondent david willis has the details. The New York Times, which broke the story of this meeting on sunday, is now reporting that donald trump junior was informed by e mail that the Compromising Information he was to receive about Hillary Clinton from this russian lawyer was all part of a russian government attempt to basically assist the donald trump candidacy. It has been seen by three people and information was passed on to the New York Times. That report is unconfirmed at this time. The e mail is said to have come from a man called rob goldsten. It was he who brokered the meeting between donald trump junior and the russian lawyer, according to the New York Times, a former publicist and tabloid journalist. It is clear this e mail would be of interest to congressional investigators. Today, both democrat and republican senators called for Donald Trumpjunior to testify before them as part of their ongoing enquiry into the Donald Trump Campaign and alleged links to russia. The bbc understands that President Trump is likely to come to the uk next year. Downing street and the white house are believed to be looking at options for the visit. Mr trump accepted the queens invitation for him to travel to britain on a state visit when theresa may visited washington in january. A proposed state visit this year was put back to a later date. It had been reported that President Trump did not want to visit the uk while there was the potential for protests against him. A man has been charged over an acid attack on a woman and her cousin in london three weeks ago. John tomlin, whos 2a, is alleged to have thrown acid at resham khan and jameel muhktar, through their car window. Both suffered severe burns to the face and body. An American Military aircraft has crashed in the state of mississippi, killing at least 16 people, according to us media. It crashed about 100 miles north of jackson, the state capital. The type of aircraft is one of the most extensively used in the military, but they can also be modified to transport cargo and troops. Just days after the iraqi Prime Minister declared victory in the Battle To Retake Mosul from the Islamic State group, Amnesty International has said the fighting has been catastrophic for civilians. Its accused the so called Islamic State of using them as human shields. One man described how the militants welded doors shut, trapping people in their homes. Amnesty also says iraqi and Coalition Forces carried out indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks. Drinking coffee could help prolong your life according to Research Carried out by scientists in europe and the us. They found that of the people they studied those who drank at least three cups of coffee a day were significantly less likely to die during the course of the survey. The Scientists Say that although they cant confirm that coffee is good for you, there is an association between drinking the beverage and living longer. Sarah smith reports. Its the news every Coffee Addict will be delighted to hear. Their daily, or better still thrice daily, brew might be a reason they could live for longer. Previous research has suggested Drinking Coffee can reduce risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Now two studies, one american and one european, have both come up with results that seem to show Coffee Drinkers live longer. The study of more than 500,000 people from ten European Countries found men who downed at least three cups of coffee a day were 18 less likely to die from any cause than non Coffee Drinkers. Women drinking the same amount benefited less but still experienced an 8 reduction in mortality. What the study doesnt show is what could be causing any apparent benefits. Its thought it could be the antioxidants that coffee contains. What it isnt is caffeine. The results came out the same for people who drank regular or decaf. The figures dont prove that Drinking Coffee will make you live longer, theres no Cause And Effect shown, just a study of the lifespans of an awful lot of Coffee Drinkers. Sarah smith, bbc news.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he expects Alexis Sanchez to stay at the Club Next Season and could even sign a new contract. Theres been much speculation the striker wants to leave but wenger says hes never asked him for a transfer. He has a year left on his current deal.

A bbc investigation has found nearly 500 children aged 12 and under have been questioned by police for sexting since 2013. The practice is when someone uses a mobile phone to send indecent pictures of themselves to others. Figures obtained by Bbc Newcastle Show theres been a steady increase in the number of people being investigated, with a boy aged five amongst the youngest. Clearly the nspcc dont want children criminalised for this sort of behaviour and its really important that police are talking to children in a restorative way, looking at the safeguarding issues for that child, making sure that the child isnt criminalised. For the first time in history, scientists got a close up look of one of the most recognisable features ofjupiter the storm known as the great red spot. Well see the first images of the storm later this week. The aim is to collect data about the composition of the clouds and find out what lies beneath them. Plans to double the number of welsh speakers are being announced today. The Welsh Government wants a Million People to be using the language by 2050. There will be more teaching at an earlier age, and more welsh speaking teachers in primary and secondary schools as our wales correspondent sian lloyd reports. At ysgol glan morfa, childrens lessons are taught through welsh. If members of the Welsh Government came here to spread the word about their new goal for the language, supported by a guest popular with the pupils. Weve laid down the gauntlet if you like, its a big task, but its achievable. If we really want to do it and we believe we can do is then thats what well do. Expanding Welsh Medium Education is at the heart of the strategy. It includes creating 150 Welsh Language nursery groups over the next decade and increasing the number of welsh speaking primary and secondary teachers. But its recognised that there must be opportunities to learn and use welsh outside of school. Theres also a recognition that they need support from parents. Some parents need to be encouraged. Some parents will say, you know, if my kids go to a welsh medium school, can i help them with their homework . Will all the correspondence be in welsh from the school . Of course that isnt the case. So of course we want to take parents with us. The Welsh Language has equal status with english. But while people may be used to seeing the signs in both the Welsh Language is celebrated every year at the national eisteddfod, a cultural festival which welcomes non welsh speakers alike. The Welsh Government wants more people to be able to communicate in welsh, but the publics appetite for change remains to be seen. Sian lloyd, bbc news, cardiff. Now how hard is it to find someones house . For some People Living in more rural parts of the country its a common problem and particularly annoying if youre waiting for in a delivery or in the worst case scenario, Emergency Services. So now a new Navigation System is being tried out in the Forest Of Dean which uses your exact location rather than just your postcode. 0ur reporter, steve knibbs has more. The trusty old sat nav, where would we be without them . Well, in some cases, not exactly near where we want to be. You have reached your destination. Except we havent. We havent, no. Were in the middle of nowhere. The new Hashpoint Project aims to help by pinpointing exactly where you want to go. We tested it to find roger, a local gp, who lives Off The Beaten Track in the Forest Of Dean. We have arrived. We have arrived indeed. It took us right to his front gate. Hello, roger. Lovely to see you. And a far cry from the system he used to use when on call. I used to say to people, because it was pre gps, what youve got to do is hang a towel on your front gate, then i know where to come. And that worked pretty well, i can imagine. It worked well then. Here we have got the front door, this is an access point. The hashpoint is an extra letter on your postcode which pinpoints your house and offers much more information. The Whole Social Enterprise was the brainchild of tom marshall andrews, who realised that rural areas had a unique problem when it came to directions. People have been struggling since sat navs really came on the scene and were used predominantly as a method for locating properties, which is probably 15 years ago. So we thought no one has done it for 15 years, we should have a go and see what we can do. Initially, thousands of people in the Forest Of Dean are being invited to join the trial but its available for free throughout the uk, and aims to help the likes of the Emergency Services and delivery drivers reach the parts that sat navs dont always reach. Turn around when possible. Steve knibbs, bbc news. 0ne one of the first acts after President Trump took the presidency was an we can now go to central london. The business secretary greg clark is speaking and outlining the Matthew Taylor review of modern Working Practices. Greg clark is making the introductions and then we will hear from Matthew Taylor and after that theresa may. He is looking at Employment Practices after being commissioned to do so by two is away. We start from a position of strength. Britain is home to some of the worlds most successful Business Enterprises and more people are employed at any time in history. To project go straight into the feature requires looking at an open and collaborative way at home we can respond not only to new technological challenges but make sure everyone in every part of britain is achieving their full potential. Alongside education and the family work is how most people develop and achieve that potential. And so the work of Matthew Taylor and his panel of experts into how we can be a country that offers good work to all our citizens is a hugely important contribution to our modern industrial strategy. Matthew will summarise the findings and recommendations of his report and in the Prime Minister will go for a response. I will though handover to Matthew Taylor. I will narrow handover to Matthew Taylor. Thank you, greg. Welcome to the r s a. I to thank the society for allowing me to thank the society for allowing me to ta ke to thank the society for allowing me to take on this role was still being chief executive. Today marks the end of the review but they are sa will continue to be a leading voice in debates about the future world. Thank you Prime Minister for giving me the honour of leading this review and for the support of your team throughout and for joining and for the support of your team throughout and Forjoining Me today to launch this report. I should also thank a rubber room you team members. Thank our other review tea m members. Thank our other review team members. Thank you to the Hard Working Team members. Thank you to the ha rd working and patient secretariat. I want to thank the hundreds, indeed thousands, of people who engage with others across the length and breadth of the uk and Public Events and conferences and round tables and simply by submitting ideas and opinions and powerful accounts of the first experiences of work. The Starting Point for our review is the strength of our Labour Market and of the key features of our system of Employment Regulation. What we refer to in the report is the british way. Record levels of unemployment and low levels of unemployment and low levels of unemployment and low levels of unemployment, high levels of volu nta ry levels of unemployment, high levels of voluntary flexibility and earnings that growing fastest amongst the lowest paid. These facts provide a very positive workshop, one that would be envied and many other advanced economies. The backdrop to enable us to consider how to improve the quality of work. With this excess in mind let me make clear that the review team thinks flexibility is a good thing and we need more of it. Literally underline and getting a job is still the best way out of poverty and the best path to opportunity and let me reassure firms and organisations that good employers have absolutely nothing to fear from employers have absolutely nothing to fearfrom our proposals. We explicitly say that what is sometimes called employment edge, the cost of taking someone on as an employee, are already big and should not get bigger. Wedge. Quantity is not enough for a thriving economy and their societies are we believe now is the time to come to lament that commitment to creating jobs with the goal of creating better jobs. All work should be fair and decent with scope for fulfilment and development. Why do we think this matters . Because there will always be people who are in work but finding it hard to make ends meet. 0ur social contract with those people should include dignity at work and the realistic scope to progress in the Labour Market. Because bad work, insecure, exploitative, controlling, is bad for health and well being and do something that generates cost of vulnerable individuals but also for wider society. Because as many Business Leaders recognise, low quality work and weak management is implicated in our productivity challenge. Improving the quality of work is an important part of our productivity strategy. And because Technology Like robotics and Machine Learning is is going to have a big impact Onjobs Learning is is going to have a big impact on jobs and task that make up those tasks and as we seize those technological opportunities as we must we should do so with the aim of Making Working Lives Better and taking with the drudgery and leaving the Human Contact and creativity that machines can provide. I am pleased that were joined today by staff and pupils from holyhead, and Are Sa Academy in birmingham. We mustaim Are Sa Academy in birmingham. We must aim for those pupils to be the beneficiaries of technological change and not its victims. And finally because everyone citizens who are engaged, responsible and active and to take back control, to coina active and to take back control, to coin a phrase, we should encourage those same barges in the workplace. 0ur idea of what it is to be respected citizens not stop at the office or the factory door. Those same practices in the workplace. 0ur Proposals include a new role for the low Pay Commission, exploring her to improve quality in sectors whether high proportion of low paid workers such as social care and hospitality. A National Framework for Employability Skills so we can develop the kind of transferable capabilities that can be acquired in both formal and informal education and on the job learning. The proposal that city mayors and local authorities combine in enabling health and well being at work. The right to information and consultation. If the ambition for good work is sincere we have to address the factors that make that more difficult. 0ne address the factors that make that more difficult. One of those factors isa more difficult. One of those factors is a lack of clarity. To increase clarity for business and workers we propose primary legislation to redefine the boundary between Self Employment and worker status and we suggest we might change the name of work that Independent Contractor. Moving towards aligning the categories used in tax and Employment Regulation and we argued that the Employment Status boundary should be defined as it is the tax boundary as it is primarily in terms of control and supervision experience by individuals. For the issues raised with us, the one that came through most strongly was one sided flexibility. Two way flexibility is great, it can enable people to work in the way they want when they want across their life cycle. Indeed this is why we have gone to some way to enable platform based models to continue to offer the flexibility, even if the individuals they engage are reclassified as workers. 0ne sided flexibility is where employees seek to Tra Nsfer Flexibility is where employees seek to transfer all risk onto the shoulder of workers in the way that makes people more insecure and makes their lives harder to manage. It is their lives harder to manage. It is the people told to be ready for work or travelling to work, only to be told none is available. People who have spent years working on zero our contacts, but without tickets guarantee of ours cannot get a mortgage or a loan. It is the people who feel that if they ever raising legitimate concern about their treatment, they will be denied the hours they desperately need. It is theseissues hours they desperately need. It is these issues that have led us to wa nt to these issues that have led us to want to explore a higher Minimum Wage Level for the guaranteed hours. It is also guaranteed. Along with a requirement the companies disclose how they have responded to such requests. There is nothing wrong with a zero hour and lower our contracts but there would be a means to two way flexibility, not a lazy way with those with market power to dump risk on those who lack the power. Finally we also take seriously the challenge of enforcement. Too often people do not enforcement. Too often people do not enforce their rights because theyd not do not know they have them, so on our proposals we suggesting new requirement that all mps and workers should be given essential information about their status, terms and conditions on day one of their employment. We believe this will mean many workers for the first time will be able to take up rights to holiday and sick pay. We asked hmrc to explore extending their Enforcement Role for the minimum wage to other car rights it was holiday and sick days. And we have puzzles for people to find it easier to enforce their Employment Status. The review is now complete. It falls to the Prime Minister, government and parliament to decide how to respond to our recommendations. In recent days i talking about our work to senior politicians and Trade Unionists and Business Leaders, i have engaged entrepreneurs and campaigners. Everyone will have their own view and it is already clear that no one will agree with every word of our report. But my hope is that in responding to the proposals, those people and the interest they represent can focus on what we agree about. In these challenging times, i sensed the public would evaluate that we can put aside our differences and focus ona put aside our differences and focus on a shared commitment for a better lives for our citizens. I have been asked what i would see our success. I would be proud to see our recommendations and acted. I would be happy if this was fully debated, but more than anything, more than anything, i hope this review will be seen as anything, i hope this review will be seen as marking the point at which good work becomes an accepted and widely supported national goal. If the government and the public come to recognise the vital importance of good work to socialjustice, to economic dynamism and Civic Engagement then the efforts of the review Tea M Engagement then the efforts of the review team and all who have supported us will have been richly rewarded. Thank you. Thank you. I will be happy to take questions later on in the session, but as i mentioned, i am grateful to the Prime Ministerfor but as i mentioned, i am grateful to the Prime Minister for asking but as i mentioned, i am grateful to the Prime Ministerfor asking me to carry out this review. I hope the Prime Minister will see that it meets with expectation. It now forced to you to how we take the recommendations forward and we will be delighted to hear your thoughts. Join me in welcoming the Prime Minister. Join me in welcoming the Prime Minister. Thank you very much, matthew. A year ago, i stood outside Downing Street for the first time as Prime Minister andl for the first time as Prime Minister and i set out the defining characteristics of the government i was determined to lead. A clear understanding that the Eu Referendum result was notjust understanding that the Eu Referendum result was not just a vote to leave the European Union but a more profound call for change across our country. A belief that at the heart of that change must lie a commitment to greater fairness in that country as we tackle the injustices and vested interests that threatened to hold us back and Make Britain A Country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few. And determination to address difficult issues and take Big Decisions in the long term interests of britain so we emerge from this period of Great National change stronger and better able to seize the opportunities ahead as we have filled the promise of brexit together. And to and though the result of the General Election was not what i wanted, my beliefs remain the same. My belief in the potential of the british people and what we can achieve together as a nation remains steadfast. And the determination i have to get to grips with the challenges posed by a changing world never more sure. Im convinced that the path i set out in my first speech outside number ten and what we have set ourselves as the government remains the right one. It will read to a stronger, fairer britain that we need, it will deliver the change people want, it will ensure we make the most of this opportunity to ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be and to answer that question with confidence, optimism and hope. And thatis confidence, optimism and hope. And that is why im so grateful to matthew for the report that he is publishing today. Because the issues it confronts go right to the heart of this governments agenda and write to the heart of our values as a people. The nature of employment is central to our economic success and also the lives we all lead. From the end of our childhoods until the age of retirement, if we dont win the national lotteryjackpot, the vast majority of us will expect to it devote at least half of our waking hours on most days of the week to work. A good job can be a genuine vocation providing intellectual and personal fulfilment as well as Economic Security. With good work and come dignity and a sense of self worth, it can promote good, mental and physical health and emotional well being. Good, mental and physical health and emotional well being. And our motivation for going out to work are deeply personal. It is how we provide for ourselves and our families, it is how we pay the mortgage or the ranch to keep a roof over our heads, how we put food on the table and provide for our old age. As matthew said in his report, work is a pathway out of poverty. Think of the household where a mum or dad, brother or sister moves in to employment. They can gain the security of a regular wage, the opportunity to plan for the future. A child can grow up seeing a parent go out to work everyday and inwardly from the expectation that they will do the same. Imagine a child a few years later, taking the step from education into employment and starting her working life on the front foot. She is setting herself on the road to a fulfilling career and a happier life. A matching her father, who might have been unemployed for years who might have given up all hope of working again, getting a job thanks to the tailored support of universal credit. He will help himself, his family and the whole country. That is the real value of work, and we should never lose sight of it. At these same time, we will always back enterprising small and medium sized business owners. They are people who ta ke business owners. They are people who take risks with their own Economic Security in order to start and grow a business contribute to our National Success and provide employment to other people. The do not play it safe, they do not put faith in their talent they put faith in their talent they put faith in their talent they put faith in their talent and take a chance. When they succeed we all benefit. As an aspiration comes reality, as an idea comes an invoice, we will back those who Dare To Dream and dare to think big. And my message to them is clear and unequivocal, we respect the work you do and will always be on your side when you do the right thing. And our task informed by the work of matthew and his team is to make sure the high standards of our best employers become the benchmark against all employees. As the world of work changes, our practices and laws must properly reflects and accommodate the changes. Because good work is in the changes. Because good work is in the interest of good business. We know that Flexible Working opportunities help to ensure employee is do not miss out on the tale nt employee is do not miss out on the talent and skills of those of whoever would not be able to fit into the regular 95, and investment in learning and education. Is not just valuable employees that helps beast productivity. If we had to deliver our vision for britain as a high wage, high skill economy, we know we have to invest in good work. Asa know we have to invest in good work. As a conservative government, we will always be on the side of hard workers and good employers and just look at our record to date. We have introduced for the first time a National Living wage giving 1. 5 million workers the fastest pay rise in 20 years. We have created a new director for Labour Market enforcement to stamp out exploitation and help protect workers rights. We have banned Exclusivity Clauses and zero our in zero hour contracts. We have extended the right to Flexible Working and planned to leave so both parents can spend time with their children as important elements but carry on with their careers. We have worked with businesses to make sure there are more women on boards than ever before and working with them again to improve. All the while at the same time the amount of people in work is up by 2. 9 million. The Unemployment Rate is the lowest it has been since 1975. UnEmployment Rate is the lowest it has been since1975. And Unemployment Rate is the lowest it has been since 1975. And there are now over 800,000 fewer Workless Households since 2010, a reduction of 21 cents. Youth unemployment is down 375,000 since 2010 and long term use and implement is half. That is the record of this government and a record i am proud of. It is important to remember that almost three quarters of the rise in employment of the last seven years has been in full time jobs, and two thirds of the jobs created since 2010 have been permanent positions. But we do know that experiences of work and employment are changing and that driven by technology, they will go one changing in the years ahead. For many, the traditional model of a full time job with one employer is still the norm, but for others, full time job with one employer is stillthe norm, but for others, new and more flexible forms of work are increasingly common and that is why i commissioned matthew to produce this report for the government. And the result is a substantial piece of work and i want to thank matthew and his fellow Panel Members for producing it. They have travelled up and down the country, they have spoken at length to workers and businesses to get an informed picture and their work will make a major contribution to the much needed Public Debate on this issue. And what is clear from matthews report is that our response to the changing world of work cannot be to try to stop the clock. Much of our success is built on the fact we are an open and innovative economy. 0ne on the fact we are an open and innovative economy. One of the key findings is there is a great deal of goodin findings is there is a great deal of good in the british way, the model of employment we have here in great britain. It is flexibility and responsiveness, alongside clear and consistent protections for employees carol sources of strength, and in responding to the changes in the Labour Market, we need to do nothing to weaken them. But the report also highlights the flexibility cannot be one sided. With workers shouldering the requirement to be available at very short notice without any guarantee that work will actually be available or they will be rewarded for the flexibility. So while matthews report is clear many workers value the fax ability of zero hour contracts and banning the contracts would hammer more people thanit contracts would hammer more people than it would help, it is important that we continue to that employees do not use these to exploit be. We will also look at where the law has not kept up with practices, like those who take advantage of platform working. Just as often, it can be a case of picking shot existing laws are properly understood and enforced. For example, employing unpaid interns as workers to avoid paying the National Minimum wage is illegal, but we have to make sure that interns are clear on the rules. And i absolutely share matthews ambition that all work should be fairand decent ambition that all work should be fair and decent with scope for fulfilment. As matthew says, good work and plentiful work can and should go together. The quantity of jobs remains vital but Quality Matters too. Because work is such a central aspect of most of our lives, we should also care about how people are treated when they are right work, whether they feel safe, secure, with the opportunity to get on and make progress. So we will study the reports content over the summerand study the reports content over the summer and respond in study the reports content over the summerand respond in detail study the reports content over the summer and respond in detail later in the year. In the meantime, let me set out some of the key principles which will guide us as we act to make employment fairer and more secure. And when it comes to taking action, im determined we do so in a fairway, fair to all workers and businesses, too. We build on the strength of our Labour Market, what matthew calls the british way, while avoiding overbearing legislation, we will make sure people have the rights and protection they need. That means building on the high Employment Rate and continuing to strive for full employment. It means retaining the flexibility that people value and recognising that most employers treat their staff not just fairly bit well. That means remaining innovation and new Business Models and recognising the risks and difficulties which those striving to build their businesses face, notjust on day striving to build their businesses face, not just on day one but every day. But it also means that finding the right balance of rights and responsibilities, flexibilities and protections. For business, it means taking their Response Billet is seriously and listening to their employees. For government, it means increasing the National Living wage so people who are on the lowest pay see their wages going up as the economy strengthens as well as supporting people to get into work and make progress in their careers. For us all, it means supporting people to work full lives and helping employees to the valuable skills and experience of older workers. And also because disability are a Health Condition should never dictate the path a person is able to take, it means helping everyone to progress in work to get on and go as Faras Theirtimes progress in work to get on and go as far as their times will take them. It will take time and a broad Public Debate to determining factly the right action to take to make sure we are living by all of these principles and we will listen to all contributions to that debate. But i am clear that this government will act that the interests of employees on traditional contracts, the Self Employed and those working in the cuba economy are all properly protected. This report will show the stimulus for this. When i commissioned this was part, i led a Majority Government in the House Of Commons and the reality and now face is rather different. In this new context, it will be even more important to make the case for our policies and our values and win the battle of ideas both in parliament as well as in the country. Sol battle of ideas both in parliament as well as in the country. So i say to the other parties in the House Of Commons, read this report, engage with the difficult issues it raises, come forward with your own views and ideas about how we can tackle these challenges as the country. We may not agree on everything, but through debate and discussion, the hallmarks of our parliamentary democracy, ideas can be current five and improved and a better way forward found. And it is in that spirit we will find a way forward in the months ahead. This new context presents us with a wider choice. At this critical time in our history, we can either be timid or bolt. We can play it safe or go with renewed vigour. Challenging our opponents to contribute, not just to criticise. Vigour. Challenging our opponents to contribute, notjust to criticise. I think this country needs a government that is prepared to take the bold action necessary to secure a Better Future for britain and were determined to be that government. In everything we do, we will act with an unshakeable sense of purpose to build better, fairer britain which we all want to see. Thank you. Applause thank you, Prime Minister. As is the way, we have a few questions. I will start with one of me colleagues, if thatis start with one of me colleagues, if that is not too much of a fix. Prime minister, you have focused on the just about managing. How do you see Detail Review is contributing to that agenda and are there other proposal but you might be looking to bring forward in the next few months to develop the agenda selwood . you think back to the first time that i referred to people who work finding day to day life a struggle and just about managing, it was in that speech i gave outside number ten whenl that speech i gave outside number ten when i first became Prime Minister, and one of the elements that i referred to them was those people who have a job but do not have job security. I think from the issues that matthew has raised in this report, they strike right at the heart of the agenda. It is about ensuring that we can develop or people that Greaterjob Security but also that quality of work, that good work that will ensure theyre not just ina work that will ensure theyre not just in a job but able to see the progression. 0ne just in a job but able to see the progression. One of the elements i am keen on as we go forward, i use the phrase in this speech about people going as far as their times will take them. I think that is important for us is a government to ensure we are also providing people with the education and skills training which enables them to take on the newjobs of the future because the future of work is changing and is going to continue to. It is a big challenge that we face. We need to prepare people for the change and take that forward as well so people are able to see that progression in their work. Second row. Both you and matthew talked about the importance of law and the importance of practice in your speech you referred to the High Expectations we have of our best companies on how we can spread those. That goes to something that i think has been thought about for a long time about notjust think has been thought about for a long time about not just about the law. What can we collectively do together to drive that . law. What can we collectively do together to drive that . I think you have made an important point which is that this is about attitude, the approach that is taken. In Good Companies with those good Employee Relations, it is notjust about what is good for those employees. It is good for the whole country, good for the business, and it is good for our economy therefore. Those good Employee Relations are good for our society as well. I think what we need to do is look at, and workers been doing by charlie mayfield, what is it about some companies that enables them to have that good Employee Relations, how can we generate those, and recognise those principles and generate more interest on those and other employees looking at those. You are right, you need a framework of law, but legislation is not the answer to everything and often it is about how people interpret the law. As i referred to it in terms of some of the issues, what we see and why wee needed director of Labour Market enforcement is that people are abiding by the law that has been set, but we need to be go further than that. It is about recognising that the week they should ship with the employees is about productivity and Better Business and that is good for us all. I hope that one of the more important recommendations that we make is to significantly lower the threshold that is required for an place to. I think there has been support for that idea. That could make a real difference in the workplace. You mentioned that fairness was one of the key things you were looking for, fairness and society, and i wanted to ask matthew how he felt the proposals within this review could help address the Gender Pay Gap and the fact there is still a 9 discrepancy between men and women in salary perspective. Fax ability is generally speaking something that is valued by women and people who are caring responsible it is. We also issued reports on the day injob discrimination towards women who are pregnant, had children. Employee protection is quite strong, but not so strong for workers. We have called for that to be looked at and have said that if we do not see an improvement, and the surveys find quite high levels of women talking about discriminated against if they are workers, if that is not changed, we said the government needs to look at legislating to improve the protection offers to women. I think thatis protection offers to women. I think that is a very important element of our report. I heard the Prime Minister talking about eight changing world, that you believe your government is doing enough to ensure that those of ethnic minorities are entering more professionaljobs . It is a very valid question, an important question, and we have in a number of areas we are encouraging that greater diversity of employees, there is work being done in the Legal Profession to train in show we see a greater diversity of backgrounds coming forward. What is underpinning what i believe is a government, and this is why i referred earlier to the importance of education and making sure people have the skills to take on jobs of education and making sure people have the skills to take onjobs is that we want a society in this country where it does not matter where you come from where background is, is about your hard work determining how far you go. Having discovered education to go forward, but also about making sure that professions are open to recognising the benefits of recognising talent and not looking at background of an individual. I have been involved in the political world in trying to ensure that we get more women into parliament, which im pleased to say we now have. I have always said, and i think the same has been important for business as well, that in politics are in business, if you have people from a greater diversity of backgrounds involved in your politics business making decisions, you get better decisions than if you have people from just the same sort of background making the decisions. We have a way to go but we have set some challenges to certain areas of society to increase the diversity of their workforce so they are actively recruiting people from different backgrounds and particularly from ethnic minorities. I think a couple of important measures are reasserting the fact that unpaid internships which Ra Big Problem in terms of Social Mobility are not legal and andrew had come to recognise formal education and Informal Learning and the role of volu nteers Informal Learning and the role of volunteers and carers because they all contribute to someone being a good worker. Robert. Prime minister, slightly flippa ntly perhaps, good worker. Robert. Prime minister, slightly flippantly perhaps, recent events in your own life, to think they have made you slightly more sympathetic to insecure employment . You would agree that education is perhaps the biggest driver of high quality employment. The School Teachers review board said yesterday there was a serious risk of a shortage of high quality teachers because of the 1 pay cap. Itv has done an investigation which shows a serious sausages of nurses and other medical staff because of the pay cap. Do see the risk with the pay cap. Do see the risk with the Pay Cap Doing Damage to the fabric of the country . Matthew, there is very little in your report about the role of trade unions. It is even been said that Living Standards in germany are higher because of the greater role of trade unions. Why have you not make recommendations in that area . As we look ahead in terms of the issue of Public Sector pay, we continue what we have always done asa we continue what we have always done as a government, which is to say that what we need to do is balance being fairto public that what we need to do is balance being fair to Public Sector workers with the need to protectjobs being fair to Public Sector workers with the need to protect jobs and being fairto with the need to protect jobs and being fair to those who are paying for Public Sector, which we know is the taxpayer. We look at that balance and may continue to assess that balance and that is what we will continue to do. With trade unions, iam will continue to do. With trade unions, i am a great fan. Not something that appears to be reciprocated this morning there is too are three things. I think it is important we asked the low Pay Commission to take eight bigger role. Secondly, Ithink Commission to take eight bigger role. Secondly, i think steps to make it easy for people to have representation, i think if trade unions are progressive and thoughtful they will realise that many more people being independent representatives at work means people who will need support with trade unions say they can advise you on how to get the right information and consultation, at the moment, the threshold for individual representation is the same as trade union recognition. This is a baby step for people to get the representation and then they may think about whether they want to be involved with trade unions. I talk about the role of trade unions can make to a good Employee Relations and it is something i heard when we we re and it is something i heard when we were on the road. Ifa if a Prime Minister, University Lack of majority in parliament. If the problem with reports like this that you cant give any guarantees that you cant give any guarantees that you will be able to pass a report like this and the recommendations it is hard through parliament and actually the fear would be for people watching this glamorous launch that this will be just another Government Report Gathering Dust on the shelves of some long forgotten dust on the shelves of some long Fo Rg Otte N Of Dust on the shelves of some long forgotten of Whitehall Department so it is the Implementation Issue that you have a problem with. Matthew taylors report says that many Gig Economy Firms should be being possibly millions of pounds in National Insurance contributions which at present they are not being. I wonder if you agree with that. On the second point that you make we will get a look at all these recommendations come out in the report very carefully and seriously and we will respond to the report collectively in due course so we can look at the whole package that matthew and his panel have put forward. 0n the first point that you raise, i commissioned this report because i felt there was an issue here about a changing economy with a world of work for a lot of people was world of work for a lot of people was changing and that experience of the workplace was changing and we had to ask ourselves the question had to ask ourselves the question had we got the right sort of projections and rights of workers against that background of the changing world of work and if not what should we do . That is why has matthew to do this and he is come up with his recommendations which we will to consider very seriously. As isaid in will to consider very seriously. As i said in my speech i would hope that people will see across the political world the importance of addressing this as an issue. This is notjust here addressing this as an issue. This is not just here and addressing this as an issue. This is notjust here and now. It is actually about the future of our economy and making sure that we have got the right frameworks in place, the right approach in place as well, coming back to the question that it is notjust coming back to the question that it is not just about legislation, coming back to the question that it is notjust about legislation, to ensure that we can embrace the ways of working in the future and ensure that people are prepared and skilled enough to take those jobs and able to do that in the confidence to know that they will have security and they will be in good work and they will be able to progress in that work. That is a huge challenge on this issue for government and for our economy for the future. I believe for a future generations we need to get it back. It is thought to hear from the rsa school who will hopefully benefit in due course from changes we are able to put in place to provide secure and stable work for the future. I come to understand the policy is much more liable to work if it has public support. We have run a Campaign Around the idea of good work and whilst people might disagree with certain details of the support the idea that everyone should have access to good work is one that does command widespread public support sol one that does command widespread public support so i hope people can can on that goal of good work for all even if we have disagreements about the means we pursue. Im tempted to say you are a great audience and i am here all week. We have run out of time. Thank you all for joining have run out of time. Thank you all Forjoining Us and thank you Prime Minister for joining Forjoining Us and thank you Prime MinisterForjoining Us. Applause there we have had the report that was commissioned by theresa may shortly after she became Prime Minister a year go on Working Practices in the united kingdom. The report was conducted by Matthew Taylor, a former adviser to Tony Blairand he taylor, a former adviser to tony blair and he was speaking about basically setting up a new category of worker called a dependent contractor which would be given extra protections, talking about the gig economy saying he wouldnt want to see the end of zero hours the ca rs to see the end of zero hours the cars flexibility is a good thing and he said that good employees employers have nothing to fear. Theresa may responding to it and saying the importance now is what the government does have that. We can speak to the labour mp jack dromey, whos the Shadow Minister for labour. Do you like what you have had a motherboard . I think Matthew Taylor is absolutely right that we need to focus on good work. Thus far the government has talked about Quantity Ofjobs and individually to talk about quality, decent pay and conditions and employment and the ability to get on with health and well being. It is also right if we are to succeed as a country and if we are to see our company succeed, because how you treat workers is crucial to the quality of the product to produce other services provided. Having said that, in terms of his recommendations he does not go far enough. If i can take the issue of uber. Effectively he says that uber have to recognise that those 30,000 workers in london work for uber and those 30,000 workers in london work for uberand are those 30,000 workers in london work for uber and are therefore entitled to sickbay and holiday pay and minimum wage. Sick pay. That is to invent a new category of Independent Contractor over complicates and leaves a loophole that could be exploited by ruthless employers. In relation to zero hours i have a very strong view that they should be abolished and this notion that somehow they are what millions are hundreds of thousands of workers wa nt to are hundreds of thousands of workers want to enjoy, let me tell you that i remember at 22 year old dustman saying jack, i havejust i remember at 22 year old dustman saying jack, i have just got married and we are about to have our first child. We would love to buy our own home but absolutely no chance because i am on home but absolutely no chance because i am on zero home but absolutely no chance because i am on zero hours applied by my agency. I asked them if they wa nted by my agency. I asked them if they wanted to be on zero hours contracts and he said absolutely not. Do some workers enjoy the flexibility . Yes, absolutely. But the time has come to underpin that flexibility with decent and basic rights and an entitlement to those rights in all circumstances in the world of work. I want to read out our first reaction from one of the companies that has been in the frame as a gig economy employer, deliveroo. They say Employment Law is outdated and this is a great opportunity to make it fit for the 21st century and the government needs to make sure that any policies are pro growth. The government should be under no illusions that any moves to restrict less ability could undermine the very thing that attracts people to work in the sector. We want to continue offering riders the Flexible Work they want while also providing benefits. We would welcome the opportunity to work with the governments we can end this trade off between flexibility and security. Do you have any concerns that putting more rights and responsibilities with employers could potentially lead to a shrinking jobs market . No, i dont. It sounds like deliveroo one to continue with our existing practices and they are and laughable and the deliveroo our going to have to realise that they can treat workers as they have done. Unlawful. At the heart of a successful economy like germany is severe treatment of workers, the kind of which strongly believe in. And also the role of trade unions, that which is scarcely mentioned in matthew s report, which need to be strengthened in our country. Our country can only succeed if the workers in our country succeed. We are in political times when we have a government without a majority. Would you work without a majority. Would you work with the government to legislate with the government to legislate with less to ensure this is something that could be enacted if thatis something that could be enacted if that is not the path the government goes down . Was that this would require legislation. Earlier this week theresa may asked for our ideas. We put forward a 20 point plan in our manifesto which we hope the government will look very seriously at the next stages and embrace. But if one looks at the racket of theresa may thus far he will forgive me if im cynical because this is the Prime Minister who has presided over an unprecedented squeeze on wages and Living Standards and presided over an unprecedented growth and insecurity at work and who has hyped up insecurity at work and who has hyped up Employment Tribunal fees so that has been a dramatic fall of workers able to seekjustice to Employment Tribunal s had to resort to weaken trade unions through the trades union acts. Were not convinced by any cosmetics from theresa may. We will press forward at the next stages with our concrete plans for a britain that succeeds because its workers succeed. We can speak to our assistant Political Editor norman smith. What would you expect to be the wider reaction . I think a lot of people will be wondering whether theresa may did enough they are to relaunch her premiership because that was part of todays picture was all about, showing that theresa may was engaging with big and important issues and share their energy and motivation to push forward and problems which hadnt really been tackled before. She herself talked about the need to be bold and she restated the mission she set out when she took over as Prime Minister to ta ke when she took over as Prime Minister to take on president trusts. Yet i felt it was a slightly underpowered speech in many ways and the reason for that wasnt she couldnt promise to deliver on the taylor recommendations. Matthew taylor was very clear that they would require primary legislation. Mrs may was asked about that and she said we will go away and consult and think about it but she could not commit to deliver. That is a real witness. The danger is this report like many other reports into all sorts of things which governments try to address and then back away from just gets tucked away in the two difficult to do draw and i think thatis difficult to do draw and i think that is a real danger. Why that matters is if youre trying to give an impression of Self Confidence as pa rt an impression of Self Confidence as part of a fightback that youre going to get things done and you have a busy agenda ahead, you lose a lot of momentum and you can say i am going to do this. All you can say is merely were going to go away and consider it. To that extent i am not quite sure this was the sort of relaunch moment that perhaps some of aids might have hoped it would be. Her aides. Borisjohnson has been speaking about the so called Divorce Payment when britain leads the European Union. It has been mentioned as being between 25 billion and 60 billion euros. He said the eu can go from muscle for any go whistle from any final payment from the uk. While the Foreign Secretary make it clear that if the eu want a penny more they can go whistle. He makes it very valid point. I think that the sums i have seen that they propose to demand from this country seem to me to be extortionate and i think to go whistle is an entirely appropriate estimation. The first thing on the agenda for that discussion is that payment, isnt it . Agenda for that discussion is that payment, isnt it . Before that there is any move to discuss that crucial Trade Arrangement the eu have been utterly clear they want to sort out the divorce arrangements. The lesson thatis the divorce arrangements. The lesson that is how much we are prepared to pay to meet our existing commitments. There have been all sorts of sums suggested up to £100 million. Borisjohnson as i was the more gung ho and of the brexit ears, that we will have our cake and eat it brigade. There is a mood amongst others like Philip Hammond and even david davies that we will have to go along with some sort of payment forward and get into the crucial Trade Negotiations and once we get into that we will be looking at the possibility of paying money to look it securing access to some of our Key Industries such as the city. I think mrjohnson show marks reflect the gulf within thinking within government within these negotiations. There are other cake brigade who believe we can pretty much have what we want and then there are what might be regarded as there are what might be regarded as the pragmatists who are much more accommodating to the sort of commands that the eu and now making. We are ahead of negotiation and ensure mrjohnson is aides say we have to play hardball and therefore say that they will have to go whistle. The Health Secretary and the Prime Minister have decided on a it should take place into the contaminated Blood Scandal. 21100 people died and it was necessary to establish the causes of this appalling injustice. The enquiry will be uk wide and families will be consulted about what form the enquiry could take. It could be a judge led statutory enquiry are a hillsborough style panel. The premise that the said when new evidence is presented she will look at it. The Prime Minister has said. A major review into Working Practices as has called for an end cash hand jobs and better prospect for those working in the so called giga economy. Downing street has confirmed it is looking at options for a visit by President Trump to the uk next year. It is another big day at wimbledon today. Ifjohanna konta winds how much she will be the First British Female through to the semifinals since 1978. No van shocker which is already out. Djokovic. Venus williams is on after him and then it will be konta. Halep is yet to drop a set in this tournament as konta instability First British Female since 1978 and Virginia Wade to get to the semifinals here. Elliott the covers we re semifinals here. Elliott the covers were gone and we saw in the mixed doubles in court to jamie murray and his partner. They were rushed off after a single game in that one so we hope the weather will not play a big part at wimbledon today. As i speak that this spitting rain coming down. British and irish lions prop Kyle Sinckler has apologised after he was arrested during a night out in auckland, following the drawn final test against the all blacks. Police said a man was placed under arrest but not charged following a minor disorder in the early hours of sunday morning. The lions tour manager said sinckler had been reminded of his duties. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he expects Alexis Sanchez to stay at the Club Next Season and could even sign a new contract. Theres been much speculation the striker wants to leave but wenger says hes never asked him for a transfer. He has a year left on his current deal. Ahead of this weekends british grand prix, silverstones owners are expected to announce theyll activate a break clause President Trumps eldest son is facing further allegations about a meeting he held with a russian lawyer during last years us election campaign. The New York Times says donald trump junior was informed in advance by email that the information offered by the woman was part of a russian government effort to help his fathers campaign. Donald trumpjunior has defended his decision to meet the woman, who claimed to have damaging material about his fathers election rival, Hillary Clinton. 0ur Washington correspondent david willis has the details. The New York Times, which broke the story of this meeting on sunday, is now reporting that donald trump junior was informed by e mail that the Compromising Information he was to receive about Hillary Clinton from this russian lawyer was all part of a russian government attempt to basically assist the donald trump candidacy. It has been seen by three people and information was passed on to the New York Times. That report is unconfirmed at this time. The e mail is said to have come from a man called rob goldsten. It was he who brokered the meeting between donald trump junior and the russian lawyer, according to the New York Times, a former publicist and tabloid journalist. It is clear this e mail would be of interest to congressional investigators. Today, both democrat and republican senators called for Donald Trumpjunior to testify before them as part of their ongoing enquiry into the Donald Trump Campaign and alleged links to russia. The bbc understands that President Trump is likely to come to the uk next year. Downing street and the white house are believed to be looking at options for the visit. Mr trump accepted the queens invitation for him to travel to britain on a state visit when theresa may visited washington in january. A proposed state visit this year was put back to a later date. It had been reported that President Trump did not want to visit the uk while there was the potential for protests against him. A man has been charged over an acid attack on a woman and her cousin in london three weeks ago. John tomlin, whos 2a, is alleged to have thrown acid at resham khan and jameel muhktar, through their car window. Both suffered severe burns to the face and body. An American Military aircraft has crashed in the state of mississippi, killing at least 16 people, according to us media. It crashed about 100 miles north of jackson, the state capital. The type of aircraft is one of the most extensively used in the military, but they can also be modified to transport cargo and troops. A bbc investigation has found nearly 500 children aged 12 and under have been questioned by police for sexting since 2013. The practice is when someone uses a mobile phone to send indecent pictures of themselves to others. Figures obtained by Bbc Newcastle Show theres been a steady increase in the number of people being investigated, with a boy aged five amongst the youngest. Clearly the nspcc dont want children criminalised for this sort of behaviour and its really important that police are talking to children in a restorative way, looking at the safeguarding issues for that child, making sure that the child isnt criminalised. For the first time in history, scientists got a close up look of one of the most recognisable features ofjupiter the storm known as the great red spot. Well see the first images of the storm later this week. The aim is to collect data about the composition of the clouds and find out what lies beneath them. Drinking coffee could help prolong your life according to Research Carried out by scientists in europe and the us. They found that of the people they studied those who drank at least three cups of coffee a day were significantly less likely to die during the course of the survey. The Scientists Say that although they cant confirm that coffee is good for you, there is an association between drinking the beverage and living longer. Sarah smith reports. Its the news every Coffee Addict will be delighted to hear. Their daily, or better still thrice daily, brew might be a reason they could live for longer. Previous research has suggested Drinking Coffee can reduce risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Now two studies, one american and one european, have both come up with results that seem to show Coffee Drinkers live longer. The study of more than 500,000 people from ten European Countries found men who downed at least three cups of coffee a day were 18 less likely to die from any cause than non Coffee Drinkers. Women drinking the same amount benefited less but still experienced an 8 reduction in mortality. What the study doesnt show is what could be causing any apparent benefits. Its thought it could be the antioxidants that coffee contains. What it isnt is caffeine. The results came out the same for people who drank regular or decaf. The figures dont prove that Drinking Coffee will make you live longer, theres no Cause And Effect shown, just a study of the lifespans of an awful lot of Coffee Drinkers. Sarah smith, bbc news. 0ne one of President Trump s first actions in taking Office Injanuary was providing a ban on federal groups that provided information on abortions. Critics fear the move willJet A Prize Everest Of Fight abortions. Critics fear the move will Jet A Prize Everest Of Fight a range of diseases including hiv and aids. A correspondent karen allen reports from the san abaco. This popular tv show is one of the was popular and providing information about hiv and aids but if it strays into abortion issues are the producers have to look elsewhere for funding. It is all about complying with United States regulations. Those rules have got harder. With the swipe of a pen President Trump has gone back to order selections that hold that no money go towards groups that enable abortions. I dont know how people can sit in washington and believe they can restrict me on that microlevel. It interferes with the Doctor Patient Relationship in a very negative member. Manner. Even though i have tested hiv possible the dany cotton positive i dont think it has a restriction on my goals. But the money that comes with the restriction. It can be linked to abortion in any way. Modern Day Health Care is all integrated with a deadbeat childrens vaccinations are sexual health. At this what they could all be affected by this rule simply because they are on the same side. With the childrens clinic here and Reproductive Health and hiv here this one stop shop is the Gold Standard that International Health agencies are trying to promote. But there is a fear that the Global Gag Rule could impose guilt by with association for services with nothing to do with abortion. Go right on the streets and you are reminded that despite being legal and so that the cut more than half of all abortions are still done illicitly because of stigma. And that could get worse. A secret camera shows how easy it is ready to buy abortion drugs illegally. An Actress Poses as a client. Watch the man in the brown jacket. He is the dealer. He tells our no medical supervision is needed. Look at the man sitting down. He is an accomplice. He slips that drugs out from under his sleeve then, in minutes, the pairare from under his sleeve then, in minutes, the pair are gone. Doctors now face a hard choice. Use us funds to Battle Diseases such as hiv and stay silent on abortion or turn their backs on the biggest owner in their backs on the biggest owner in the world. It is a delicate balance. The taxpayers in the United States have a right and that Health Workers and a Women In South Africa have a right to also maintain their highest level of care based on the laws of the country. But many still believe the country. But many still believe the United States is overstepping the United States is overstepping the mark. Self sufficiency is still not an option for many african states. It isa it is a complete change in the weather today compared with yesterday when it was quite dry. Many of us today have some wet weather on the way thanks to an area of low pressure bringing the wet stuff across england and wales. Great news for gardeners. If you have not got a garden you will partly not be excited to know there is heavy rain had then. That rain has already arrived in the south wales with rain coming in thick and fast. That rain will be extensive this afternoon. A few showers across london in the afternoon or sold in Heavy Rain Heading into the wimbledon area from around half past three onwards and i dont think there will be much play after that. We have got the wet weather overnight which could work into buyers of yorkshire language over time and before then walking back towards South East England. The skies towards an south west of the uk. We will still other rain over South East England tomorrow to start with but then High Pressure builds and as sunny spells will come along and as sunny spells will come along and it will be a beautiful day. The temperature will be about right for the time of year from 19 in glasgow to 23 degrees in london which will feel pleasantly warm. This is bbc Newsroom Live. The headlines at 12 30 a major report into Working Practices recommends an end to Cash In Hand Economy and better protection for Gig Economy Workers. The reports author Matthew Taylor appeared alongside the Prime Minister and said currently the balance is tipped too much in favour of the employer. The Prime Minister has ordered an inquiry into the contaminated Blood Scandal that has left 2,400 people dead. Haemophiliacs and others where infected with hiv and hepatitis c in the 1970s and 80s. In the United States there are new claims that the president s son knew that russia was trying to help him win the election. The New York Times says Donald Trumps son was informed in advance that a russian lawyer he had a meeting with during the campaign had links to the kremlin. Downing street is believed to be looking at options for a visit by President Trump to the uk next year. A proposed state visit this year was put back to a later date amid reports that the american president was concerned about protests. The Foreign Secretary borisjohnson has said that the sums of money he said the government has no plan for what to do the in the event of failing to do a strike with the eu because he believes the uk will get a great deal. The bbc has learned that more than 4000 children under the age of 17 have been investigated for. The bbc has learned that more than Four Thousand children under the age of 17 have been investigated for sexting since 2013. Thats where someone sends naked or semi naked photo to someone else using a phone, tablet or online. In the uk, its illegal to do it if you are under 18. Nearly 500 of those children investigated were aged 12 or under. Earlier Victoria Derbyshire spoke to kerry smith, who is from one of the Worlds Largest childrens charities, Plan International uk and Natalie Smith who is the Education Director of arc theatre. Their shows tour primary and secondary schools and teach pupils about the consequences of sexting. Kerry smith said its an issue that needs to be discussed. We do need to talk to our children ata we do need to talk to our children at a young age about sex and Relationship Education but technology and what you do about taking pictures and sharing those images because they are getting mixed up and confused and we need to start those conversations early. But there is a difference between a five year old sending an image of themselves naked presumably innocently and a 14 year old girlfriend sending it to a friend. Vice versa. If a child has got the cheque technology, there is not a difference, and Young Children want to be like their peers and older to teenagers, so though it may be innocent, if it is got a camera ra video, they are still curious about all the things they can do with it and something that is a bit naughty also sets your adrenaline going so it becomes exciting, especially you think other people dont know and it may be something you have not done before, it makes it more exciting. But there is a disconnect between it being against the law and children doing it. You send a picture, your boyfriend receives it, girlfriend, they may send something back. Why would you think that is illegal . What you say to children about that . 0ne what you say to children about that . One thing that surprises me is young people believe their phone is theirs, it is their personal property, it is private, they have locks, they can hide things when it is often the parent who is liable because they are still paying the bill. We help them understand that very little is private, especially when it comes to online things on the internet and anything they share on their phone, their parents can have access to, would be able to see and that often is enough to make them think about exactly what they are doing. But they have not tweaked that yet, so thinking this may be something that the police want to speak to them about is a step further on. Anthony on Facebook Says he is amazed that a 5 euros would have access to a phone to take photos in the first place. It goes on to say, that the act of sexting between two children, im in two minds. He could be in favour of that. The way the Police Approach that. The way the Police Approach thatis that. The way the Police Approach that is pretty sensible. It is a criminal offence, so it is already criminalised. But he meant taking it further. If there is no mal intent, then the police are going well a crime has been committed but we will not take further action. Although some teenagers who have done this innocently in inverted commas have ended up on the sex offenders register. And we have seen a change in law and taking forward these cases because of the actual prevalence of it and the rising numberandi prevalence of it and the rising numberand i think prevalence of it and the rising number and i think that really speaks to one critical issue which is the sex and relationships education that we have in our schools, the guidance is being reviewed in september this year to be setting next year and we need to make sure children are learning about consent, what it means to get the agreement to do something with them, but also technology, sexting and pornography and Plan International did a survey this year with parents and the British Public and seven out of ten said we want our children to know about sexting. They know there is an issue with this and we have to make sure that thatis this and we have to make sure that that is what is happening in our schools. Plans to double the number of welsh speakers are being announced today. The Welsh Government wants one Million People to be using the language by 2050. There will be more teaching at an earlier age and more welsh speaking teachers in primary and secondary schools, as our wales correspondent sian lloyd reports. At ysgol glan morfa, childrens lessons are taught through welsh. Members of the Welsh Government came here to spread the word about their new goal for the language, supported by a guest popular with the pupils. Weve laid down the gauntlet if you like, its a big task, but its achievable. If we really want to do it and we believe we can do is then thats what well do. Expanding Welsh Medium Education is at the heart of the strategy. It includes creating 150 Welsh Language nursery groups over the next decade and increasing the number of welsh speaking primary and secondary teachers. But its recognised that there must be opportunities to learn and use welsh outside of school. Theres also a recognition that they need support from parents. For some parents they need to be encouraged, some say if my kids are going to be able to be helped by me with their homework. The welsh sandwiches celebrated at the national eisteddfod. The Welsh Government once more people to be able to communicate in welsh, but the publics appetite for change remains to be seen. Now how hard is it to find someones house . For some People Living in more rural parts of the country its a common problem and particularly annoying if youre waiting for in a delivery or in the worst case scenario, Emergency Services. Now a new Navigation System is being tried out in the Forest Of Dean which uses your exact location rather than just your postcode. 0ur reporter steve knibbs has more. The trusty old sat nav, where would we be without them . Well, in some cases, not exactly near where we want to be. You have reached your destination. Except we havent. We havent, no. Were in the middle of nowhere. The new Hashpoint Project aims to help by pinpointing exactly where you want to go. We tested it to find roger, a local gp, who lives Off The Beaten Track in the Forest Of Dean. We have arrived. We have arrived indeed. It took us right to his front gate. Hello, roger. Lovely to see you. And a far cry from the system he used to use when on call. I used to say to people, because it was pre gps, what youve got to do is hang a towel on your front gate, then i know where to come. And that worked pretty well, i can imagine. It worked well then. Here we have got the front door, this is an access point. The hashpoint is an extra letter on your postcode which pinpoints your house and offers much more information. The Whole Social Enterprise was the brainchild of tom marshall andrews, who realised that rural areas had a unique problem when it came to directions. People have been struggling since sat navs really came on the scene and were used predominantly as a method for locating properties, which is probably 15 years ago. So we thought no one has done it for 15 years, we should have a go and see what we can do. Initially, thousands of people in the Forest Of Dean are being invited to join the trial but its available for free throughout the uk, and aims to help the likes of the Emergency Services and delivery drivers reach the parts that sat navs dont always reach. Turn around when possible. Steve knibbs, bbc news. More now on the independent review thats called for the government to the Cash In Hand Economy. Matthew taylor, a former adviser to tony blair, says cash jobs such as Window Cleaning and decorating are worth up to £6 billion a year much of it untaxed. He also called for greater protections for people on zero hours contracts and Flexible Workers. Of all the issues that were raised with us as we went around the country, the one that came through most strongly was what the report calls one sided flexibility. Two way flexibility is great. It can enable people to work in the way they want, when they want across their life cycle. Indeed this is why we have gone to some lengths to suggest a way to enable platform based models to continue to offer that flexibility, even if the individuals they engage are reclassified as workers. 0ne sided flexibility is where employers seek to transfer all risk onto the shoulder of workers in the way that makes people more insecure and makes their lives harder to manage. It is the people told to be ready for work or travelling to work, only to be told none is available. The people who have spent years working for a company on zero hour contracts, but who, without a guarantee of hours from week to week, cannot get a mortgage or a loan. Its the people who feel that if they ever raise legitimate concerns about their treatment, they will simply be denied the hours that they so desperately need. It is these issues that have led us to ask the low Pay Commission to explore the idea of a higher Minimum Wage Level for those hours which people are asked to work which are not guaranteed to them. It is also why we have called for a right for people to request fixed hours and permanent contracts, along with a requirement that companies disclose how they have responded to such requests. There is nothing wrong with zero and low hours contracts but there should be a means to two way flexibility, not a lazy way for those with market power to dump risk on those who lack that power. That is Matthew Taylor and review. With me now is hannah reed, senior Employment Rights officer from the tuc and diane nicol, a partner at the law firm pinsent masons, who worked on the report. Welcome. I want to read out a bit of reaction from some of the companies who have been in the frame around the gig economy. Uber has put out a statement saying it welcomes greater clarity in the law over different types of Employment Status. It says it knows uk drivers want more security too. It is investing in discounted illness and injury cover and will be making more improvements soon. And deliveroo has said that the government needs to ensure any new members are progressed so members can continue to expand and create more opportunities for people. They should not be under the illusion of restricting flexibility could undermine the very thing that a tt ra cts could undermine the very thing that attracts people to work in this sector. Hannah, what is your reaction . You will not be surprised to say we wanted the review to be bolder than it is. We do not think it isa bolder than it is. We do not think it is a game changer. Having said that, there are a number of welcome proposals that are included. 0ur that, there are a number of welcome proposals that are included. Our key concern is that none of the changes that are made aloud Gig Economy Companies such as those you have just cited to allow them off the hope and ensure they do not have to pay basic rights such as the National Minimum wage holiday pay. Why do you think they are not off the hook . Our concerns are that changes to implement status rules but more importantly proposed changes to National Minimum wage calculation could create loopholes in the law. It is important that the workers are entitled to be paid the National Minimum wage for every hour that they work. They should have the same rights as anyone else in the Labour Market. Their response to that point . If i could firstly say that point . If i could firstly say that what i think the review was to do was to achieve allens between the rights of individuals and the responsibilities and the response of businesses being flexible and i think we have tried to retain that flexibility. My view in relation to clarification of the law around worker status is this is key and once this gateway is establishing that someone is a worker, independent country tour, they will have the rights that hannah is concerned about and we are looking at things like peace working, as hannah knows, and recommending that thatis hannah knows, and recommending that that is locked out. I think the important thing here is we are recommending that this is investigated, it is reviewed, looked at so there will be consultation both from the union side and business side. Have businesses and employers being effectively exploiting the situation to get around playing employees National Insurance . I think theme majority of employers in this country are good. There is undoubtedly with flexible tv risk there will be exploitation and asa tv risk there will be exploitation and as a review committee, we did hear the exploitation as we went round the country and we took soundings from various bodies and there will be, there has been exploitation and we have seen it publicised, but i think with clarification of the law and more importantly engagement which matthew talked about today and so did theresa may, with good employers, so that good Employment Practices can be permeated through the uk to these organisations and also information and communication of rights and responsibilities, because one of the issuesis responsibilities, because one of the issues is that the do not know what their obligations are. The tuc concerned that such companies in the ticker, any in the gig economy there have been changing a worker s prices to change the implement rights responsible it is and avoid their Tax Obligations and the government needs to act on that and clamp on that fast on that practice. Asa clamp on that fast on that practice. As a trade union, we are happy to be involved in consultation, that we say to the government that they need to act fast on some of the welcome proposals published today including proposals published today including proposals to ensure that everybody in the workplace is entitled to sick pay from day one and also the Agency Workers are entitled to equal pay. We need to deal with the gaps in the law that mean that Agency Workers could be any much less an hour as the pennant staff in the same role. That is in the hands of the government now. It certainly does. Theresa may in her speech this morning did say she was going to ta ke morning did say she was going to take the report away over the summer and read it and she encouraged her colleagues in westminster to do likewise and to come forward with their ideas to. Benny is to be legislation. I know you started by saying that you wanted it to be bolder. It is not a game changer. There are, located issues looked at and an attempt to boil it down into and an attempt to boil it down into a usable system going forward. I guess it is almost impossible to please everyone, but you think ultimately be right and has been struck . Their row welcome recommendations that have been published and trade unions will be calling on governments to act fast on those, but there are clear gaps, a right to request a guaranteed hours contract is not a real right for many hundreds of thousands of zero hour contracts workers. We need more active steps by the government s people have guaranteed hours and income and they can plan their family life and budgets. So why wasnt that looked at more robustly . It was looked at and what we try to achieve was flexibility for the n gage is and the workers because some workers were saying that they benefit and enjoyed zero hour contracts. Some do, but others dont, what protects them . What make shows that the employees do what they say . What we have recommended is that they can make this request and there is also currently. A request, how strong is that . It has to be considered reasonably, and you have to remember hannah that the is publicity around employers who refused requests, we are calling for transparency and publication by employers who dont exceed these requests or who do. It will be quite obvious who the good employers are verses who the bad employers are. Also what were looking at in relation to the hours of zero hour contract workers is paying them at a greater minimum wage where they dont have guaranteed hours where they are regularly working more hours. So that is another form of protection that we looked at. Thank you both for your time. An update on and our headlines. A major review into working for better protection of those working in the gig economy. Matthew taylor appeared alongside the Prime Minister and said zero hour contracts should not be a way for employers to exploit workers. The Prime Minister has ordered an enquiry into the contaminated Blood Scandal of the early 1980s that has left 2400 people dead. A revolutionary technology which could allow dementia patients to stay in their homes for longer is being trialled in the uk. It means people with the condition will be monitored remotely by a team that can track physical activity, location and blood pressure. John maguires been to take a look. For phil and june bell, the home they have lived in for 30 years is definitely where their hearts are. And they are trialling technology which should helpjune stay here for as long as possible. She was diagnosed with dementia a year ago. One of our aims is to stay as long as we can within our home and what the technology has done is enable us to do that. We intend to die in our beds. It makes you feel safer, doesnt it . It does, yes, to think somebody is out there, concerned about me, i think its quite touching. To think that people are so kind. And this is how the system works. Various sensors monitorjunes movements and activity and it regularly checks health, blood pressure, temperature, and blood oxygen levels. Information is sent to this Clinical Monitoring Team and staff here can combine junes medical and Environmental Data to build up a fuller picture of her health. If we look at this data, she is moving in the living room hallway and how often she was in bed. There is some body temperature. All this data can suggest if she is becoming agitated or not, is there an infection, so putting everything together could give us a picture of how well she is. There are currently 200 patients with mild or moderate dementia on the trial based in the surrey and north east hampshire nhs area and they are looking for more volunteers. A red stethoscope and an on screen alert warns the team of potential problems. They may then call the household, enlist help from medical teams or ask staff from the Alzheimers Society to make a visit. The technology is also proving useful for gps and hospital staff. This handset contains junes recent readings, so a day by day patient record that again offers a better insight into her health. Its been an important aspect of this project that people on the trial have been able to take their data to their gp or consultant so they have that set of data to make clinicaljudgments in a much more effective way. The results of the trial, the first of its kind in the uk, will not be known until next year but early indicators are positive. These gadgets are helping people stay longer in their homes, safe and secure in the knowledge that help, if needed, is just a phone call or a mouse click away. John maguire, bbc news, surrey. They might be places that you assume are generations apart, but for the first time in the uk, a nursery and a care home are closing the age gap. Its an idea which has already been adopted by other countries, such as the United States and japan, but from september, britain willjoin them by opening a joint site for youngsters and elderly residents. Graham satchell went to find out more. Singing a large care home in south london and the sound of a nursery rhyme. Young and old singing, playing, interacting together. When it officially opens in september, this will be the first nursery in the country to be sited on the grounds of a care home. Children spend more of their time away from other age groups and the elderly spend time away from everybody. There is something quite natural about bringing them together. A sports day to celebrate the opening, and 87 year old fay is showing off her egg and spoon skills. Children from a nearby nursery have been coming here on a weekly trip since january and fay has loved it. Some of them sing and dance and we play games. It is fabulous. For most of the residents, they have a great time. They come alive. Bringing young and old together like this already happens in america, canada and japan. Experts say the advantages are clear, particularly for the elderly, in tackling isolation and loneliness. But here are challenges as well. Finding the right places and making sure both children and adults are safe. The benefits really do outweigh the disadvantages. This is a model for other care home providers and nurseries across the uk. It certainly works in the rest of the world, there is no reason why we could not see many more of these in the uk. Back inside, walter is making glasses out of play doh and passing on years of wisdom. Careful play arranged by grown ups is teaching them many things they dont know. How to handle things and handle situations. As an old person, i am coming to the end of my life, it is a greatjoy to see new human being is growing and growing slowly into people, into humanity, into maturity. Its a wonderful thing. Im very privileged. Irene and helen. Is this a model for the future . There are certainly hope here that it will benefit young and old. In a moment the news at one. First, the weather. Was that we have a change coming. Temperatures around the Greater London area reached 21 celsius in the sunshine, that today is different. Cloudy skies working in, outbreaks of rain on the way thanks to the area of low pressure bringing the wet weather across all of england and wales. Some of the rain is already arrived across england and wales, were looking at this weather watcher picture, it has already turned pretty heavy. Do the rest of the afternoon, the rain will swing its way in so we will see showers in east anglia and South East England before general outbreaks of rain arrived in london around half past three. It will continue to rain pretty heavily around South West England and southern areas of wales. The rain will tend to move through for a time across north west england. The sky will get brighter here. Northern ireland should see sunny spells and there will be brighter moments in scotland, but here will be one or two showers around. For wimbledon, i think the main rain band will arrive around half past three, and when the rain has setting, that could be it for the day s play. Limited dry wind is possible, but lots of rain on the way as well. This will amount to around 20 to 40 millimetres of rainfor is to around 20 to 40 millimetres of rain for is a bit with misuse South West England to allow clearer weather for the second half of the night, but the rain band could be heading away from yorkshire for a time overnight before clearing away through wednesday as High Pressure builds in from the north of the uk. That means ea rly morning builds in from the north of the uk. That means Early Morning rain will clear from South East England quickly and the High Pressure dominating the weather picture, most of us will have a glorious day tomorrow with lengthy spells of sunshine right across the sunshine, a fresh feel to the weather, temperatures about average for the time of the year, 19 in glasgow and 23 in london. A little bill cool around the coast. Could be quite a chilly night through wednesday night, thursday promises to be more dry with sunshine, and through thursday afternoon, we will see the clu bs thursday afternoon, we will see the clubs they can sue the north west of scotla nd clubs they can sue the north west of scotland as a band of rain edges and on. As to 20 celsius. The way we work a major review looks at workers rights, the gig economy, and cash in hand working. The report says workers need better protection and employers should pay National Insurance. The Prime Minister puts the recommendations at the heart of the governments agenda. Good work and plentiful work can and should go together. The Quantity Ofjobs remains vital but Quality Matters, too. Well have the latest on the proposals. Also this lunchtime the Prime Minister orders an inquiry into the contaminated Blood Scandal in which nearly 2,500 people died in the 1970s and 80s. The New York Times says it has evidence that President Trumps team knew the russian government was involved in the us president ial election last year
