ROSIE MILLARD: Once again the Tate provides an irresistible social draw. The new galleries mean Tate Britain now presents the world's most comprehensive display of British Art. Last night's launch party was attended by the heart of the British Art world, some of whom had some pretty radical ideas about what should go into the new galleries.

TRACEY EMIN:I think they should have an opium den and a smoking room. Firstly, as it's so Victorian and so beautiful let's like think about the ideas that the Victorians wanted and let's have a room that we can relax in… couches, red sofas, big plush velvet curtains, somwhere where we can smoke our cigarettes… would be really fantastic.

ROSIE MILLARD: 800 people have been invited here tonight. All week many, many more have been begging Tate British for an invitation to what's definitely the cultural party of the season.

MAN 1: Tate Modern was a huge success for all sorts of very particular reasons, it's a great buildings, an astonishing achievement. But, it's the building and the actual existence of it er, you know, which is impressive the… that's not, th… that's not to deride it in any sense but Tate Britain is actually rather different. The extraordinary new extension on the east side of the gallery which we're in now I mean, what it is actually letting the art, you know, speak, you know, for itself.

ROSIE MILLARD: Officially opening the development, even the Prince of Wales admitted visual arts in Britain were truly popular.

PRINCE CHARLES: Art after all, is hardly elitist. In the last 30 years art has jumped off its pedestal and broken out of the gilt frame to launch itself into all aspects of life and disclourse.

ROSIE MILLARD: So will Tate Britain take off? It's suffered with the opening of Tate Modern, there was a distinct falling off of visitors, but Tate Britain is making no bones about placing the emphasis of its new extension on the art, as the director of Tate explained.

STEPHEN DEUCHAR: That there was an opportunity within an existing courtyard to choose between creating some great galleries or making simply an architectural experience. And we dicided that we needed galleries for the … that great collection of British art which, so much of which, has remained in store for many, many years.

ROSIE MILLARD: Meanwhile at the launch everyone was considering our two new Tate galleries.

MAN 2: I quite like the fact this is a little more sober and that they, the redesign isn't flash, it's very sympathetic with what the building was before. And so it's a little bit more relaxed, it's not going for the er, if you like the sort of um, stunning effect, modern effects of the , of the Tate Modern and I think it suits the collection better.

ROSIE MILLARD: The re-launched Tate Britain offers quite a revealing experience after all those flashy new art galleries where the architecture is sometimes more important than the art inside. This is a subtle, accessible building wholly focused on the purpose of telling the story of British Art through great paintings and sculpture. Rosie Millard, BBC News, Tate Britain.

ANNA FORD: Just one day of rest, after the long weekend of Golden Jubilee celebrations, and the Queen is back at work today. She and Prince Philip are on the road again with their Jubilee tour - this morning to north London. And instead of a golden coach, a London bus is the favoured mode of transport. Later, the Queen will make her first ever visit to a Hindu temple. Our Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond reports.

JENNIE BOND: The new royal Bentley in a bus garage. It was a dramatic contrast to the pomp and pageantry of the Jubilee weekend. This, though, was the Queen's way of thanking the thousands of transport workers who were on duty then. After a reign of 50 years, there are few official events that can offer anything new. This was one of them. For the first time the Queen stepped onto a London bus. It was a state-of-the-art bus with low-level access and closed-circuit television. She asked whether it had power steering, and wanted to know how much the whole thing cost. The answer, ＄150,000. One of the drivers, who worked through both the Silver and Golden Jubilees, was impressed that she'd made the effort to come.

EUGENE COLLYMORE: Well, I think that will be a, is a good thing, you know, for *she(her) to come and see how, you know, the bus people work, how the transport service and everything, you know. How we transport the people from, you know, from A to B.

JENNIE BOND: And even on a wet Thursday morning after all the festivities around the Palace, hundreds of people wanted to see her. This afternoon will provide another first, when the Queen goes to this Hindu temple in north London. The Tamil community who use it recognise the significance of her visit.

DR NARAYAN RAO: It's very significant in the annals of our history, of this temple, that we have her majesty step into… it is like next to God. We think the royalty is very important to us.

JENNIE BOND: And, in the coming weeks, the Queen will meet representatives from all the major faiths in the UK, underlining the Jubilee theme of inclusiveness.

ANNA FORD: Jennie, I think it's clear that the Queen is making a real effort on this Jubilee tour to visit people and places that she's never ever been to or met before.

JENNIE BOND: Yes, it is becoming a jubilee of firsts, isn't it really, with the concerts in the Palace, the bus garage this morning, and now this magnificent Hindu temple in Archway in north London. Curiously enough it was a synagogue in fact, 15 or so years ago, but is was bought by the Tamil community. And when the Queen comes here, she's going to be shown all around, it is extremely ornate, and taken to see this inner sanctum, which is the idol of Lord Murugan, who is the chief God of the Tamils. Both she and Prince Phillip will then be garlanded with some of the garlands that you see decorating the statues around. And also, in keeping with tradition, both will have to take off their shoes. A special room has been set aside. It's got nice gold and red chairs so they can do that in comfort before this visit, which is part of the Jubilee theme of making sure everyone feels included.

ANNA FORD: Jennie, thank you.

DARREN JORDON: Doctors are warning that some women with suspected breast cancer are facing unacceptable delays for treatment. The Government wants women to wait no longer than two weeks to see a consultant, but researchers at a London hospital say it can be as long as three months, and warned that lives could be at risk.

SOPHIE HUTCHINSON: 45-year-old Maggie Kay is almost fully recovered, after undergoing surgery to remove breast cancer. An urgent case, she was referred by her GP to a specialist, and seen within two weeks.

MAGGIE KAY: Your life suddenly is turned upside-down, and nothing seems real, nothing seems the same any more. So the stress of that, and , you know, you, you feel like you're in a vacuum, in a bubble almost, and you want some normality, and you want something to be done, and you want something to be done now.

SOPHIE HUTCHINSON: A report using data from King's College Hospital in London, is warning half of all women with breast cancer are facing delays of up to 12 weeks. It says that's because of a Government grading system, which fast-tracks urgent cases. The report's author insists this is leading to unacceptable delays in treatment for non-urgent cases, which can be critical.

DOCTOR: The quicker we can get there, the more options we have as, as surgeons, and radiotherapists, and oncologists, and the more options women have in terms of deciding what kind of treatment to have.

SOPHIE HUTCHINSON: Hospital staff say simple organisational changes can really mean the difference between a two week and a 12 week wait. For example, this fax machine is constantly monitored. When a GP sends through a request for an appointment, they're guaranteed a reply with a date, within 10 minutes. The Govenment has welcomed today's report, and says speeding up the way cancer patients are diagnosed and treated is central to its programme of modernisation. Sophie Hutchinson, BBC News.

MICHEAL BUERK: Children as young as twelve could be electronically tagged even before they're convicted of a crime, under a new Government initiative. It's designed to stop them committing more crime while on bail. Young offenders are responsible for much street crime, which has risen dramatically over the last year.

MARGARET GILMORE: As a skills centre in Birmingham, teenagers convicted of crimes are tagged. Under the new scheme, young people could be tagged before they are convicted if they're ex-offenders, or there's a suspicion they'll re-offend while waiting for their court case to come up. One here who is now reformed and doesn't want his face shown, says being locked up didn't work but tagging did. His past offences include mobile phone theft, possession of drugs and causing grievous bodily harm.

BOY: I was enjoying it so much. It gave me a buzz doing all kinds of things. Robbing people, doing all kinds of things.

MARGARET GILMORE: Did the tagging then make any difference rather than locking you up?

BOY: Yeah. It did good, man. It did good.

MARGARET GILMORE: The government's targeting young offenders because they commit nearly half all street crime. For robbery, 42% cautioned or convicted are under 18. For mobile phone thefts in London, 65% of those accused are under 18. For mobile phone thefts in London, 65% of those accused are under 18. The police blame street crime on a hard core of 20 or 30 young offenders in every inner city area. The Home Secretary out on patrol with the police today says the statistics also show most once freed will re-offend, hence the tagging while on bail.

DAVID BLUNKETT: I am very clear indeed that the new technology needs to be backed up by intensive supervision. Once people know that the fun is gone out of this, that they can't leave their home, or they can't leave the secure accommodation, I think they'll get the message.

FRANCES CROOK: These are children first and they should be treated as children. They haven't been convicted of any offence and they should be treated as if they were innocent and they could even wear an electronic shackle as a badge of honour and show off with it to their friends in it, and perhaps a gang.

MARGARET GILMORE: Today's pilot is part of a wider scheme to keep offenders of all ages out of jail and overcrowded young offenders institutions. With this latest scheme the Government's tackling two things. One is our critically overcrowded prisons, the other street crime, which is rising in many cities. They're big problems; the Government believes it must be seen to be doing something. Margaret Gilmore, BBC News, Birmingham.
