Its been ten years to the day since the start of the Global Financial crisis. Thats when banks started to realise they had bet that couldnt afford to be paid back. Ill be finding out what lessons have been learned and whether it could happen again. Anger at the athletics World Championships, after one of the favourites to win the 400 metres is told he cant compete following an outbreak of norovirus. Yes, the fallout from the virus really overshadowed the 400 metres final last night. The runner didnt feature and in his absence Wayde Van Niekerk cruised to victory to retain his title. Like a Rhinestone Cowboy. Country star Glen Campbell has died at the age of 81. And carol has the weather. Good morning. We have a wet start in england and wales and through the day the showers pushing in the direction of the south east. Heavy and thundery. Some issues with fluttering flooding. In the sunshine it will feel pleasant. More Inis Sunshine it will feel pleasant. More in 15 minutes. Thank you. First, our main story. Tensions between the us and north korea have reached new heights. President trump has warned kim jong un that if he continues to threaten america, he would be met, in mr trumps words, with fire, fury and power. North korea says it considers carrying out Missile Strikes on an American Island in the pacific. This report from washington. North korea best not make any more threats to the united states. They will be met with Fire And Fury like the world has never seen. Unprecedented language from an american president. Donald trump officially escalated the us stand off with north korea from his perch on a Walking Vacation at his golf course in newjersey working. The trigger, a report saying pyongyang had produced a Nuclear Warhead small enough to fit inside its missiles. That much closer to the capability of striking the us. The president s angered response could draw range in the hopes of the dramatic solution. After a rare decision by the un to slap sanctions on the regime. North korea news is kimjong un already has a plan to strike the us Pacific Territory Of Guam, which appears to have been put on place before trumps remarks. President trump often we decide his predecessor barack 0bama for not sticking to his red lines on Foreign Policy when he was in the white house. But now mr trump has drawn a breadline with harsh new rhetoric. Red line. The question is, what happens if north korea crosses it . 500 new medical School Places will be made available in england next year, as the government attempts to boost the number of home grown doctors in the nhs. The target is to increase the total number of Training Places by a x 20 20 to help ease staffing pressures. The British Medical Association says it wont address the immediate shortage. More doctors, home grown. The government has given more detail today on what it says will be the biggest ever expantion of the medical workforce in england. What were doing is ensuring that we train enough home grown doctors so the nhs becomes self sufficient in doctors over the period of the next ten years or so. And we think that thats the best way to ensure that we have the doctors we need for the future. Next year, an extra 500 medical School Places will be made available. By 2020, that number will grow to 1500, reprsenting a 25 increase in yearly intake over all. And Medical Schools will have to win many of those extra places by showing that they can get graduates to work in rural or coastal areas, where recruitments more of a struggle, and by bringing in trainees from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds. We welcome the governments approach, looking at how they can get more people from poorer backgrounds to study medicine. It is something which the bma has been talking about for many years but there are lots of questions about how these medical School Places are going to be funded and how the government is going to tackle the immediate recruitment and retention crisis of doctors in the nhs. This is all part of wider plans to create thousands more Training Places for nurses, midwives and health professionals. The labour party says it does not add up to any significant new investment. But, ultimately, it will be patients who decide whether this extra dose of doctors proves to be an effective medicine. Jessica parker, bbc news. Well be speaking to a Health Minister about those new targets at 7 10. You know when they say time flies . It really does. Its exactly ten years today since what many consider to be the start of the financial crisis. Steph, you loved it, didnt you . Yes, there is good that comes with bad. It was good for my career but not for the rest of the world. It gave us a real insight into the financial industry. You remember 11 13 years ago it was hard to make this interesting for people and then on this day ten years ago the banks started to realise they were hoarding lots of toxic debt, debt that people had taken out and couldnt be paid back. A lot of it was linked to house sales in america, so people who were overborrowing essentially and realised they couldnt afford to pay it out and it had been dressed up in so it out and it had been dressed up in so many different ways by the banks and sold on to other banks. No one had a clue what these things were worth and that was the critical point. Ten years ago this french bank pulled out a statement saying they didnt know what some of their assets were worth. That sent jitters around the world. In the weeks and months following that all of the banks started to realise that they too had things they didnt really know what were worth, so we had massive banks Like Northern rock, they had a run on the bank, it ended up they had a run on the bank, it ended up leaving the high street and we saw the collapse of leeman brothers, another huge bank in america. So it really changed the way banking was done and it meant is in an new rules have come out about how much banks have come out about how much banks have to hold in order to actually function as a bank and weve seen banks being looked at in terms of separating the whiskey site compared to the high street. They basically have to behave. Yes and we have seen Interest Rates cut, so thats been the biggest thing, the fact that we saw Interest Rates go from about 6 down to 0. 25 and nobody thought they would still be that low. We will be talking about the morning. A decade since the Credit Crunch. Thanks. Childrens services are being pushed to Breaking Point due to increased demand and cuts in Council Budgets, according to the local government association. The lga says three quarters of English Councils overspent on child social care by a total of more than half a billion pounds last year. A government spokesman said councils would receive around £200 billion for local services up to 2020. The lga says its not enough. Kenyas incumbent president Uhuru Kenyatta has taken a strong lead as votes are counted after tuesdays election. With three quarters of results in, mr kenyatta has a lead of close to ten over his rival. However, the Opposition Coalition has rejected the figures, and has accused officials of publishing fake results. Five men facing criminal charges over the Hillsborough Disaster are due in court later today. Three of them are accused of trying to cover up what happened in 1989. The Police Match Commander on the day, former chief superintendent David Duckenfield, wont be in the dock. 0ur reporter Ben Schofield has more on this. Ben, why is David Duckenfield not going to be in court . It is about one month since the Crown Prosecution Service said they wa nted Crown Prosecution Service said they wanted to charge six men with various different offences relating to hillsborough. David duckenfield faces the most serious charges. 95 individual councils manslaughter. But prosecutors need to apply to the high court to lift a court order banning him from being prosecuted before they can take that case forward. The remaining five include the secretary and Safety Officer from Sheffield Wednesday Football Clu B from Sheffield Wednesday Football Club at the time of the disaster. He and David Duckenfield were the only two who face charges relating to be fatal crushing itself. Three men as you say face charges of perverting the course of justice. You say face charges of perverting the Course Ofjustice. They are two Police Officers from South Yorkshire police and a lawyer, who was providing advice to the police force. And the fifth man we are expecting is sir norman peterson, a former chief constable who ran both merseyside and west york Police Forces. Sir Norman George bettison. It is expected to be a Brief Hearing, but nevertheless a significant step as these cases progress, some 28 years after the disaster. More coverage on the rapid bay. Thank you. Athletics chiefs have been criticised for denying a medal favourite entry to the London Stadium amid concerns over an outbreak of norovirus. Around 30 athletes and support staff have been affected by sickness at the World Championships, but only botswanas Isaac Makwala has been prevented from competing, as andy swiss reports. As Wayde Van Niekerk charged to the 400 metres title, the first gold of a potential double at these championships, much of the focus was still on his absent challenger. Isaac makwala was told he couldnt compete after his sickness because organisers had to protect the welfare of the athletes. At the team from botswana were left frustrated. We respect the decision if it is based on Public Health issues, however, it is the manner in which this decision was arrived at which is quite disturbing and as we have indicated this matter has been approached in britain grabs. We feel very sorry for the athletes that have to not participate but we have a responsibility for all of the athletes and if we allowed them all to sit down, its a tight community, we need to make sure that all of the athletes are we need to make sure that all of the athletes a re protected we need to make sure that all of the athletes are protected as well. Meanwhile, britains medal near misses continue, despite the performance of karl langford. Ron is just eluding him in the 800 metres by an agonising four hundredths of a second. And among todays highlights is the return of mo farah, as he goesin is the return of mo farah, as he goes in the heats of the 5000 metres. He is still the british teams only medallist here and it is now halfway through the championships. Tributes have been paid to the American Country music star Glen Campbell, whos died after what his family called a Long And Courageous Battle with alzheimers. He was 81. Dolly parton said he had one of the greatest voices of all time. He was famous for hits including Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita Lineman. 0ur arts correspondent David Sillito looks back on his life. I am a lineman for the county. Wichita lineman, its wide open spaces, yearning, loneliness, america turned into song. But what truly made it a masterpiece was the voice of Glen Campbell. I hear you singing in the wires. He had been born in billstown arkansas, a large poor family of cotton pickers. His escape was his uncle boo, who taught him to play guitar. Little baby, how i love you. He could play anything and on hundreds of singles with the Session Musicians the wrecking crew, phil spector, the righteous brothers, frank sinatra, it was Glenn Campbell on guitar. And eventually. A Breakthrough Hit of his own. Rivers flowing gentle on my mind. But it was the partnership with Songwriterjimmy Webb that gave him his career defining songs by the time. Galveston, Wichita Lineman. Clean cut, conservative, he was suddenly Country Musics biggest star, with his own tv show. I have someone who needs me someone ive needed so long. But im going to be where the lights are shining on me. Rhinestone cowboy was a glorious return to form after a dip in his fortunes that had taken place in the 705. But his personal life was farfrom glorious. I think i probablyjust quit letting god run my life and i actuallyjust got into the drugs and the booze pretty heavy. I am a lineman for the county, and i. What . Drive. Drive the main roads. That slight stumble over the words, it was the beginning of alzheimers. And the Wichita Lineman. Hed long put his wild days behind him, but memories were fading. Still on the line. What stayed with him when so much else had gone was the music. The songs of Glenn Campbell. Time to get the weather forecast.
