The verdict of an independent review. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
It says thousands of people have died unneccessarily. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
The Government admits it needs to do much more. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
We have not done enough to end the stigma of mental health. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
We have focused a lot on physical health and we haven't, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
as a country, as a nation, focused enough on | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
The father who lost a son to mental illness. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
He wants to save other families from the same anguish. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
As a father, there are no words to describe... | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
..how one feels when your son's coffin enters the church. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
We'll be looking at what today's comprehensive reports | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
is recommending and whether the Government will actually do it. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Up to 50 people are killed in Syria in airstrikes on hospitals. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
The UN calls it a blatant violation of international law. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Calls for a crackdown after a laser shone into a cockpit forces | :01:05. | :01:07. | |

Goood evening and welcome to the BBC News at Ten. | :01:40. | :01:57. | |
Thousands of unnecessary deaths and chronic underinvestment. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
That's how an independent review sums up the state of mental health | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
The report says three quarters of mentally ill people | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
receive no support at all - and those that do often | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
The Government has accepted the report's recommendations, | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
though has stopped short of saying it will implement them. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
But first our Health Editor Hugh Pym on how one family's tragedy | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
highlights the many failures of mental health care. | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
When this recording was made of Edward Mullen at the piano, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
no-one could imagine it would be played at | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Aged 18, he was due to go to Cambridge University | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Feeling suicidal he had sought help and was sent away with pills | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
His father, Steve, wrote to the Prime Minister shortly | :02:48. | :02:59. | |
after Edward's death a year ago, saying he | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
believed his son had been let down by the care system. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
As a father, there are no words to describe... | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
..how one feels when your son's coffin enters the church | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
while you are listening to his accomplished notes | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
It is very clear here we have a completely | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
This is not about a system that needs a slight reform or some slight | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
change, this is about a fundamental process that we, as a society, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
have not got appropriately right. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Thousands of stories like this helped inform the task force | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
report, which includes strong criticism. | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
It says there are thousands of tragic and unnecessary deaths. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
One of the reasons is chronic underinvestment in mental | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
health care and three quarters of people with mental health | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
The head of NHS England told me the system | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
The NHS wants to - and needs to - up our game | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
when it comes to mental health. | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
It is not something that can be done overnight | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
but we clearly want to expand the range of treatments | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
for children, for pregnant mums, for people at | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Heading off potential problems facing young | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Early intervention is seen by the task force as a priority. | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
That is getting teenagers like these to talk | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
openly about their emotional well-being and to identify | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
and discuss mental health challenges, which they and their | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Let's think about physical health and emotional and mental health. | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
This school in West Sussex is using a programme devised | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
by the Samaritans, as part of the regular curriculum. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
Now I specifically know what people go through and how hard it can | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
It talked us through how everyone reacts differently to mental | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
They can quite often become undetected. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
The report action plan, now adopted by NHS England, | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
includes a million more people being treated | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
by 2020, 24/7 crisis support at A units in hospitals | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
and increased access to talking therapies, including counselling. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
To pay for it there will be ?1 billion | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
This will come from money already allocated to the NHS. | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
In Wales, more is spent on mental health than any | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
other part of the NHS, according to a spokesman. | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
The Northern Ireland executive said there had been higher | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
For Steve Mallon, the new plan for England is welcome but it can | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
only be judged if it is delivered in full. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
What we have to be sure is this does not | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
turn into some sort of Orwellian rhetoric, when a government | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
is always announcing ever bigger numbers and ever more initiatives | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
and yet the experience of real people in real schools and in real | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
families and real communities is not changing on a day-to-day basis. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
The report's ambitions have been widely | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
praised but no-one is denying that putting mental health on the same | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
level as physical health care could take some time yet. | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
This morning I went to talk to the Prime Minister | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
about the findings in today's report, which he acknowledged showed | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
the Government has failed to adequately tackle mental | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
So let's talk about today's task force report, Prime Minister. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
Inadequate provision, worsening outcomes and an increase | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
in the number of people committing suicide. | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
That is the verdict of the task force on mental health since 2011. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Why have you allowed this to happen since you have been Prime Minister? | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
It is a very powerful report and it shows how much more we need to do. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
It tells us what we need to do and yes, we should be frank, | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
we've not done enough to end the stigma of mental health. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
We have focused a lot on physical health and we haven't, | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
as a country, as a nation, focused enough on mental health. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
Let's talk about a specific case which I know you are aware | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
of which is the case of Ed Mannen, the son of Steve Mannen, | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
His 18-year-old son, presented as a clear suicide risk, | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
was given a strip of pills and a couple of website addresses. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
And very shortly afterwards he took his own life. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Can you pledge that by the end of your tenure as prime minister, | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
there will no longer be a lack of care for young | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Of course, I can't pledge that there won't be tragic events | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Absolutely, and what I can pledge is that we are going to expand, | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
for instance, the Talking Therapies that I think have been so valuable | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
for so many people and the money is there for that. | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
As I've said, three quarters of a million more people already | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
For the first time ever, waiting lists, waiting times, | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
rather, so, if, for instance you have psychosis, you should get | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
When you say two weeks, the average waiting time for a child | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
to get access to therapy is 32 weeks. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
It's far too long and that's why we're putting in the money. | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
As I said, not just money, it is also saying, let's have... | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
We're very familiar with the waiting time targets for physical health. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
You shouldn't have to wait longer than 18 weeks for your treatment. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
We are now doing that for mental health as well. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
The task force report recommends that no one should have to wait | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
longer than two weeks for access to therapy by 2021. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Can you pledge that that will happen? | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
We can only pledge what we can afford. | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
I don't know that I can make that specific pledge and I don't | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
want to say something on your programme that | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
Let's talk about another recommendation in the task force | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
report, which is to end the situation where children | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
and adults are sent out of the local area, sometimes hundreds of miles, | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
to get to an acute psychiatric bed, when they are in crisis. | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
The task force report recommends that system be ended by 2021. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
Again, we accept the report, that's what we want to see happen. | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
At the moment people are having to travel too far. | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
If you look, for instance, at children and mental | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
health bed provision, there is actually more bed provision | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
than there has been in the past but we are also seeing, frankly, | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
more children presenting with mental health problems. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
If you look, for instance, at eating disorders, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
we have seen a big increase in those so extra money and extra | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
But yes, we accept what is in the report and now we have to work | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
out, have we got the resources necessary to deliver | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
I'm slightly puzzled because I have put two of the recommendations | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
in the report to you, Prime Minister, and you say | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
you accept the recommendations, but what are you | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
Which of these pledges are you actually going to fulfil? | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
We are going to spend ?1 billion extra per year over the coming | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
period in order to deliver a million more treatments | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
and we are going to go through this report and as we respond | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
to the report, we will be able to say exactly | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
which of the recommendations we can meet and how quickly we can meet it. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
We want to end the stigma of mental health in our country. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
We want to ensure that parity of esteem that we have all talked | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
about but previous governments haven't been able to | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
The Prime Minister talking to me earlier. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
And we'll be taking a closer look at mental health right through this | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
week, in a season of programmes on BBC One called In the Mind. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
All the details are on our special website at bbc.co.uk/in the mind, | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
including information about where you can find help | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
And you can follow us on social media at hashtag In the Mind. | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
The United Nations has said as many as 50 people, | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
including children, have been killed in a series of air strikes | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
on hospitals and schools in Northern Syria. | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
Turkey has blamed Russia for one of the attacks. | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
Syria's ambassador to Russia has blamed the US. | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
It's raised fresh doubts about whether a pause | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
in the fighting, due later this week, will actually happen. | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
Here's our Diplomatic Correspondent, James Robbins. | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
In north-east Syria, rescue workers scramble over | :10:51. | :10:51. | |
the rubble of hospital hit by missiles to rescue any survivors | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
It has been bombing intensively in this rebel-held area | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
to try to win it back for President Assad. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
The hospital is completely destroyed. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
We report at least seven deaths among the personnel and patients | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
and at least eight personnel of Medecins Sans Frontieres | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Further north, in Azaz, missiles hit a children's hospital | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
and the school apparently sheltering refugees fleeing from the joint | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
This is meant to be the week when attacks wind down ahead | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
of a cessation of hostilities agreed by Russia and the United States. | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
But tonight President Assad has been on Syrian state television pouring | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
buckets of very cold water on talk of a ceasefire. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
"A week to prepare is not enough", he said. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
"It means stopping terrorists strengthening their positions and it | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
does not mean each party stops using weapons." | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
Russia is making very clear that in this conflict it has no intention | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
of giving up its bombing campaign and to see the pattern | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
of its strikes, let's look at a map showing most are aimed at areas held | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
by opposition rebel forces backed by the US-led coalition. | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
Not at the Islamist extremists here in red that Washington believes | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
Russia sees no distinction and still hopes President Assad can win. | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
Partly because Russia has it only Mediterranean naval base | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
Partly because Vladimir Putin remembers Soviet President Brezhnev | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
and President Assad's father as allies in Cold War days and wants | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
Now it is also being suggested Mr Putin is even enjoying | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
the migration crisis in Europe, dividing and weakening | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
another of his foes, the European Union. | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
The Russians can end this, if they want to, they can make this | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
cessation of hostilities work by scaling back their bombing | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
and redirecting it against the real terrorists rather than | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
But if the Russians think that the moderate opposition | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
are going to lay down their weapons while they carry on bombing moderate | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
opposition positions, they are wrong, that's | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
But Russia shows no sign of changing course and is now embroiled | :13:11. | :13:22. | |
in a hotter and hotter war of words with Syria's neighbour, | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
Washington is urging cooler heads but a cessation of hostilities | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
promised by the end of this we can hardly be relied on. | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
Pilots are calling for tougher laws on the sale and possession of lasers | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
after a plane had to turn back when one of its pilots was injured | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
The Virgin Atlantic flight had been heading for New York but returned | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
Her report contains some flashing images. | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
Stationary before heading down the runway for a second time. | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Last night this Virgin Atlantic Airbus took off without incident | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
but shortly after, the crew contacted air traffic control | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
and told them one of the pilots was experiencing difficulties. | :14:03. | :14:14. | |
The pilots union, BALPA, says those targeting aircraft may | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
not know just how serious the consequences can be. | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
Initially it is bright flashing and you can get shadows. | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
The distraction that these can cause at the critical stage of flight, | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
take-off and landing, could potentially lead | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
Virgin Atlantic said the flight was brought back to Heathrow | :14:34. | :14:52. | |
BALPA say that 50% of the 810 pilots surveyed last year said they had | :14:53. | :15:03. | |
One reason for the surge is the greater availability | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
In a room, pointing at something with them, they are far | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
There really isn't an application internally for these. | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
Outside, again, other than to try to deliberately blind | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
someone if you are targeting people, again, there is no real application. | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
It is an offence to shine a light at an aircraft while it is in flight | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
but BALPA are now calling for it to be made more serious. | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
They say that carrying a laser strong enough to ground a plane | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
like this one is the same as possessing an offensive | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
weapon and they want that recognised legally. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Police are trying to find the person responsible for delaying hundreds | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
of people's travel plans and for the potential damage | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
The President of the European Council has warned there's a "real" | :15:57. | :16:07. | |
risk that the EU could break up, if the UK decides to leave. | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
Donald Tusk said David Cameron's negotiations with EU leaders, | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
ahead of a key summit on Thursday, had reached a "critical moment". | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
In a moment, we'll speak to our political editor, | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, to hear how Mr Cameron has been dealing | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
where he's meeting the French President tonight, | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
and speak to our Europe Editor, Katya Adler. | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
Katya, this meeting wasn't in the diary. | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
It's been arranged at the last minute. | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
David Cameron's mad dash to Paris is yet another indication that all | :16:35. | :16:47. | |
might not be well with his deal at the summit later this week. France | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
is extremely concerned about his push to protect non-euro countries | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
from Eurozone regulations, fair countries use the euro so White | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
should they be able to gang up to the | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
should they be able to gang up to countries like Britain but France | :17:08. | :17:08. | |
things Cameron is being sneaky countries like Britain but France | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
he wants a special deal for London and a back door veto on wider | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
Eurozone legislation. The French economy is sluggish to put it | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
politely, the president is about to try to get re-elected and he can't | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
afford to be seen to help written do better financially while his | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
Eurozone hands are tied -- help Britain. Just before the publication | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
of David Cameron's draft negotiations, I was told they were | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
delayed by hours, worried by wording. Every EU leader has to cite | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
that this for them to be passed, France could again quibble and | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
dashed the Prime Minister's hopes of a deal if it so chooses. | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
Laura, pressure abroad for Mr Cameron and more evidence | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
Indeed. You might think that managing his own party would be a | :17:57. | :18:09. | |
breeze impaired to dealing with 27 European leaders, fractious as they | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
are, but not necessarily so full that after weeks of considerable | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
pressure from Eurosceptic ministers, number ten has had to concede that | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
when David Cameron debts back here, probably with a deal, he will have | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
to have his cabinet in for a crucial meeting to take the government | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
positions and immediately afterwards something extraordinary will happen. | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
Cabinet ministers who want to argue to leave the EU against his position | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
will be allowed to do so publicly. That matters because number ten had | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
wanted to hold the line for 48 hours before David Cameron to make his | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
case more or less uninterrupted over the weekend before Cabinet ministers | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
would be un-gagged to say what they thought. The fact that number ten | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
has had to give way, although they say they had never completely made | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
their mind up, tells us something very important. This is not just a | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
question for political nerds, it tells us that at this vital moment, | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
David Cameron, powerful as he is, can't get everything his own way and | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
it will be difficult for him to control his Eurosceptic ministers | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
and the many other Eurosceptics in his party. As the summit approaches, | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
it is a reminder PS3 difficult audiences, not just EU leaders but | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
also those in his own party and the most important one at all, the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
public who will vote at the end of June -- he has three difficult | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
audiences. And for all involved it is very nearly showtime. Thank you. | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
As we've heard, controlling migration is one of the greatest | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
challenges in David Cameron's EU negotiations. | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
But when he first set out how he wanted to change Britain's | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
relationship with the European Union, in a key speech | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
in 2013, the issue wasn't even mentioned. | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
But since then, migration has gradually developed into one | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
of the dominant themes of the debate about EU membership - | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
even more so following the exodus of people from Syria - | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
as our Special Correspondent, Gavin Hewitt explains. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
For David Cameron, this is the week when Europe's leaders | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
will deliver their verdict on Britain's demands and no issue | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
Three years ago the Prime Minister went to the Bloomberg headquarters | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
in London and began laying out his European demands. | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
It is time for the British people to have their say. | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
Before David Cameron made his big speech about Europe here he had | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
spoken about bringing the levels of net migration down to the 1990s | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
but what he didn't mention at this podium was soon rising up | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Poll after poll showed that the number one concern amongst | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
the population is immigration and also, Ukip were remarkably | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
successful in linking the issues of immigration and EU membership | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
They believed that in the European elections, the issue of migration | :21:01. | :21:10. | |
had won them more votes than the issue of Europe itself. | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
About a third of the population are migrants. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Many people say migration is the issue that will influence | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
whether they vote in or out in the referendum. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
I think it's the pressure that it puts on resources, | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
the National Health Service, things like transport systems, housing. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
58% of the class did not speak English. | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
So during the second half of 2014 and with a general election | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
on the horizon, migration is not just becoming a major little issue. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
But it was placed right at the heart of the EU renegotiation. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Numbers that have increased faster than we in this country wanted. | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
All of this has to change and it will be at the very heart | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
of my renegotiation strategy for Europe. | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
By November 2014 he had settled on restricting benefits as the key | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
Two weeks ago, David Cameron asked for an emergency break. | :22:19. | :22:29. | |
When social services were under pressure, | :22:30. | :22:30. | |
EU migrants could be restricted from receiving in work benefits | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
How quickly would benefits for migrants be phased in. | :22:33. | :22:46. | |
But details matter for this will be one of the key battle grounds | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
The choice will ultimately be staying in the European Union | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
where we will have high levels of net migration, | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
not least because Britain's economy is doing better, | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
or being outside the European Union and being able to control our | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
I would say there are legitimate concerns that you've got | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
about fairness and about people making a contribution before | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
they take money out, that we are seeking to address. | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
And child benefit as well, I think they are important issues. | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
To people who are concerned about the unfairness of that, | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
they are not xenophobic, not anti-European, not racist, | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
Casting a shadow over all of this is the wider migrant crisis, | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
a burden mainly shouldered by Germany. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Both sides in the UK debate know that the numbers moving | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
through Europe might influence voters, even though Britain | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
A very senior European official has warned that Britain could vote | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
to leave the EU simply because of this wider migrant crisis | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
and the impression given that the European Union | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
In Brussels this week, the Prime Minister will need to pin | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
down key details and then persuade the voters that any deal is binding. | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
The families of members of the indie band, Viola Beach, | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
killed in a car accident in Sweden on Saturday, | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
The four friends and their manager died when their hire car plunged | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
from a bridge just outside Stockholm. | :24:18. | :24:18. | |
They'd just played their first gig abroad. | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
This report from Claire Savage contains flashing images. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
# And she said together we could take on the world #. | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
Living the dream, that's how Viola Beach had been | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
describing their music career to friends and family before | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
Life was just getting good for them and then this | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
But they were all together and that's the only comfort | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
The band were just so happy, they were living the dream, | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
And they were very, very dedicated musicians. | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
Nothing else mattered but playing in any gig, | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
River Reeves, Tomas Lowe, Kris Leonard and Jack Dakin, | :25:00. | :25:11. | |
aged between 19 and 27, along with their manager, | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
Craig Tarry, seen here on the left, died when their hire car crashed | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
through barriers and off a highway bridge into a canal more | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
When Craig first asked me to listen to the band, | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
he said, look, what do you think of these, Dad? | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
I said, son, that's it, get them signed up, get the music | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
out there because these lads are going to be really big. | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
And it's just a tragic loss, I just hope they don't die in vain. | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
They had started to play gigs in Europe and were just | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
about to head off to the United States before playing | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
festivals back in the UK this summer. | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
We just want people to just enjoy that, it was their dream, | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
I think we just feel the only thing we've got left is for them to make | :26:04. | :26:18. | |
As detectives in Sweden continue to investigate the cause | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
of the crash, the families are still searching for answers. | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
Let's take a brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :26:24. | :26:38. | |
The discount supermarket chain, Aldi, is to create 5,000 jobs | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
The German-owned company said the positions would include | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
managers, stock assistants and shop floor staff at 80 new stores. | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
Adam Johnson, seen here in the middle, has been played | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
a video where a girl tells police about her meetings with him | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
She said he signed football shirts for her and initially | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
The player denies two counts of sexual activity with a child. | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
Irish police have carried out a major security operation | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
at the funeral of a man, who was shot dead at a boxing | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
Police believe David Byrne's death was part of a gangland feud. | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
Another murder, three days later, is thought to have been carried | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
Hundreds of letters and photographs that tell the story | :27:23. | :27:32. | |
of Pope John Paul II's long and close friendship with a married | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
The letters to Polish-born American philosopher Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
were hidden away in the National Library of Poland. | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
They reveal a rarely seen and intimate side of the pontiff, | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
who died in 2005, although there's no suggestion that he broke his | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
Ed Stourton uncovered the story for the BBC's Panorama. | :27:53. | :28:00. | |
John Paul II was the first non-Italian Pope for nearly | :28:01. | :28:02. | |
He ruled the church for more than a quarter of a century | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
and he is credited with helping to bring down communism. | :28:08. | :28:09. | |
He died in 2005 and was made a saint in just nine | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
For more than 30 years he was close to a married woman, | :28:13. | :28:22. | |
a Polish born American philosopher called Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka. | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
She had a walk-on part in his biographies because she collaborated | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
on an English language version of one of his books. | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
But the full story of their relationship has now been | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
revealed thanks to a huge cache of letters and photos | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
which we are making public for the first time. | :28:39. | :28:40. | |
Here is one of the handful of transcendentally great figures | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
The head of the Catholic Church in an intense relationship | :28:46. | :28:52. | |
They were more than friends but less than lovers. | :28:53. | :29:04. | |
Today I heard your voice when you called from Warsaw. | :29:05. | :29:11. | |
The telephone has the advantage that I can hear your voice but it doesn't | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
last long enough so it doesn't replace a letter | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
I haven't seen Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka's letters and reading | :29:18. | :29:20. | |
Karol Wojtyla's on their own is a bit like reading a novel | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
But I do understand that in the summer of 1975, | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
almost exactly two years after they first met, | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
Anna-Teresa sat down on a park bench by the city walls of Krakow | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
and wrote what one can really only describe as a love letter. | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
She said that she desired to be in his arms and remain | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
I do believe she completely fell in love with him during the first | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
I think it is completely reflected in the correspondence. | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
In John Paul's final years, when he suffered from Parkinson's | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
and seemed increasingly isolated in the Vatican, | :29:57. | :29:59. | |
she visited him often and sent him pressed flowers from her garden | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
We are talking about Saint John Paul. | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
This is an extraordinary relationship. | :30:07. | :30:10. | |
It is out of the ordinary in the papal context. | :30:11. | :30:15. | |
The National Library of Poland today dismissed our interpretation | :30:16. | :30:23. | |
of what they said was neither secret nor extraordinary. | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
Why, then, is one bit of this story still buried? | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
We discovered that her letters to him were also bought | :30:31. | :30:33. | |
by the library but they refused to say where they are. | :30:34. | :30:36. | |
So a piece of this extraordinary jigsaw is still missing. | :30:37. | :30:38. | |
