A failure in its duty of care - a coroner's verdict on an army

:00:00.:00:07.

barracks after he rules a recruit committed suicide.

:00:08.:00:09.

The parents of eighteen year old Private Cheryl James

:00:10.:00:12.

say their daughter was badly let down at Deepcut Barracks

:00:13.:00:19.

"Deepcut was a toxic and horrible environment for the a young woman

:00:20.:00:24.

and we have no doubt that this would have had a terrible impact

:00:25.:00:27.

on those that were required to live there."

:00:28.:00:32.

We are truly sorry for the low levels of supervision

:00:33.:00:36.

that we provided for the trainees at Deepcut in 1995.

:00:37.:00:45.

Another recruit at Deepcut Barracks around the same time tells the BBC

:00:46.:00:48.

she felt she too suffered a culture of abuse there.

:00:49.:00:50.

The boss of one of the world's biggest banks says jobs could go

:00:51.:00:55.

After a Brexit we cannot do it all here and we will have

:00:56.:01:00.

I don't know if it means a thousand jobs, 2,000 jobs

:01:01.:01:04.

For the Leave campaign, Michael Gove says the EU is too flawed,

:01:05.:01:13.

too undemocratic and it's time to quit.

:01:14.:01:21.

Uneelected leaks it is time to say you are fired.

:01:22.:01:35.

And Paris, hundreds of artworks are taken to safety.

:01:36.:01:40.

The battle to retake Falluja - the BBC is given exclusive access

:01:41.:01:43.

to the Iraqi pilots fighting so-called Islamic State.

:01:44.:01:44.

And Andy Murray is through to the final of the French Open -

:01:45.:01:48.

the first British man to do so for nearly 80 years.

:01:49.:01:50.

Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, England's women's cricket has a new

:01:51.:01:57.

captain for the first time in a decade. Heather Knight is named as

:01:58.:02:02.

the successor to Charlotte Edwards. The army failed in its duty of care

:02:03.:02:17.

to a young recruit who was found dead at Deepcut Barracks

:02:18.:02:23.

in Surrey back in 1995. That's the verdict of the coroner

:02:24.:02:25.

at the second inquest into the suicide of eighteen year

:02:26.:02:27.

old Private Cheryl James. While there was no evidence

:02:28.:02:34.

that she was unlawfully killed, the coroner strongly criticised

:02:35.:02:36.

what he called the highly sexualised atmosphere at the barracks ,

:02:37.:02:39.

saying some instructors viewed female trainees as

:02:40.:02:41.

a sexual challenge. He also criticised the "haphazard"

:02:42.:02:42.

and "insufficient" provision Our home affairs correspondent

:02:43.:02:44.

June Kelly reports. Cheryl James left her home

:02:45.:02:52.

in Wales and joined the army Just six months after she was signed

:02:53.:02:54.

up, she was found dead from a bullet Her parents have always

:02:55.:03:01.

questioned why their daughter Today the coroner concluded her

:03:02.:03:07.

death was a suicide. We are deeply saddened by the

:03:08.:03:23.

coroner's conclusions, having sat through all of the evidence

:03:24.:03:27.

ourselves, listened carefully to erword, read every statement and

:03:28.:03:32.

re-read every testimony. In short, it is our opinion it did not lead to

:03:33.:03:40.

this verdict. Following her passing out, Private

:03:41.:03:44.

Cheryl James had been posted to Deepcut Barracks in Surrey, a

:03:45.:03:48.

training base for young soldiers. Her parents thought she was thriving

:03:49.:03:54.

in the army but a month after her 18th birthday, her body was

:03:55.:03:58.

discovered where she had been on morning guard duty, with a single

:03:59.:04:03.

bullet wound to her head. Today delivering the verdict, the coroner

:04:04.:04:08.

focussed on feyings at Deepcut Barracks saying that the

:04:09.:04:12.

circumstances were that Ms James was posted as a lone female armed guard,

:04:13.:04:19.

crack cocaine to army policy. The risk of self harm had not been

:04:20.:04:25.

adequately recognised, nor had steps been taken to reduce the risk.

:04:26.:04:30.

Between 1995 and 2002, Private Cheryl James was one of four young

:04:31.:04:36.

soldiers to die at the base, all surfed gunshot wounds. The other

:04:37.:04:39.

three families are hoping for a fresh inquest.

:04:40.:04:43.

The coroner said he wanted the inquest to focus on what happened to

:04:44.:04:46.

Private Cheryl James and her state of mind. But over the past few

:04:47.:04:51.

months we gained insight into the culture and the failings at this

:04:52.:04:55.

base. The coroner spoke of Deepcut

:04:56.:04:59.

Barracks's sexualised culture. The base has become synonymous with

:05:00.:05:05.

bullying and abuse. The BBC talked to former soldiers still haunted by

:05:06.:05:10.

what they went through there. One described how she was gang raped. I

:05:11.:05:15.

didn't tell anyone. I was too frightened to. I felt so ashamed. I

:05:16.:05:20.

couldn't tell anyone. I still haven't been able to talk

:05:21.:05:27.

about it for the last 20 years. Today Cheryl James' father said his

:05:28.:05:33.

daughter was forced to live in what he called a deeply toxic

:05:34.:05:35.

environment. If I had known it was such an awful

:05:36.:05:40.

place, I would have kicked the doors down to get her out but I didn't

:05:41.:05:44.

know. I just didn't know. I never knew. I have to live with that.

:05:45.:05:48.

The army acknowledged that at Deepcut Barracks it fell down in its

:05:49.:05:55.

duty of care to young soldiers. It says since 1995 it has made profound

:05:56.:05:58.

changes. We are truly sorry for the low

:05:59.:06:04.

levels of supervision we provideded for the trainees and Deepcut

:06:05.:06:09.

Barracks in 1995 and for the policies that replied to using

:06:10.:06:13.

trainees for guard duties. And that we took too long to

:06:14.:06:22.

recognise and rectify the situation. Cheryl James calling to her father

:06:23.:06:27.

as he filmed her passing out. For 21 years her parents have been fighting

:06:28.:06:31.

for answers as to why her short life ended in the army, far away from any

:06:32.:06:37.

front line. For them the legal battle is over but there is no end

:06:38.:06:40.

when it comes to their sense of loss.

:06:41.:06:49.

Cheryl James' family has at last got the apology they wanted but they had

:06:50.:06:53.

While the parents welcomed the apology, they questioned why it had

:06:54.:07:01.

taken the army 21 years to make a public apology. The army is saying

:07:02.:07:07.

it has made huge improvements to training establishment since 1995.

:07:08.:07:12.

They are inspected by Ofsted and rated recently as good and

:07:13.:07:19.

excellent. Another issue is sexual harassment, Brigadier Donnelly, said

:07:20.:07:22.

that changes had been made and improvements have come. He said that

:07:23.:07:27.

the culture is starting to change but that they are not complacent and

:07:28.:07:31.

they don't think that they are anywhere near there yet. Cheryl

:07:32.:07:37.

James' parents are disappointed with the verdict but they wanted the

:07:38.:07:42.

details of the death to be examined in a public forum, they have

:07:43.:07:43.

in a public forum, they have achieved that.

:07:44.:07:46.

The head of one of the world's biggest banks, JP Morgan,

:07:47.:07:49.

has said that a vote to leave the European Union

:07:50.:07:51.

would be a terrible deal for the British economy.

:07:52.:07:54.

Jamie Dimon warned that coming out of the EU could force him to cut

:07:55.:07:57.

possibly thousands of UK jobs and move them instead

:07:58.:07:59.

The campaign to leave the EU has responded that the real danger

:08:00.:08:03.

to the economy is unsubstantiated and illogical threats.

:08:04.:08:05.

Here's our Business Editor, Simon Jack.

:08:06.:08:11.

Sun, sea, sand and global investment banking.

:08:12.:08:14.

The biggest employer here is JP Morgan, with 4,000 staff.

:08:15.:08:20.

After a Brexit, we cannot do it all here.

:08:21.:08:23.

Today, the chief executive, Jamie Diamond, the most famous

:08:24.:08:26.

banker on Wall Street, delivered a Brexit warning.

:08:27.:08:28.

If the EU wanted to negotiate, to say that anyone who does business

:08:29.:08:31.

as bank with an EU company, has to be based near you,

:08:32.:08:34.

you are talking about 3,000 or 4,000 potential jobs.

:08:35.:08:37.

That's JP Morgan jobs And we don't know yet,

:08:38.:08:41.

and I want to be clear, we will take care of our people,

:08:42.:08:44.

whatever the outcome but we have to be prepared to service our

:08:45.:08:47.

The real work and worry will start on June 24th.

:08:48.:08:50.

On June 24th we will set up real task teams, war rooms,

:08:51.:08:53.

et cetera to do the real heavy work, legal, passporting, entities,

:08:54.:08:58.

housing, kids, schools, we are going to start

:08:59.:09:00.

If you were on my board you would say are you prepared

:09:01.:09:06.

So that's a pretty stark and specific warning

:09:07.:09:10.

from on employer about how many jobs might go from here to

:09:11.:09:13.

the European Union, if we voted to leave the EU.

:09:14.:09:16.

Of course the concern for many is the opposite, how many workers

:09:17.:09:19.

from the European Union will come to these shores, and how,

:09:20.:09:23.

I think JP Morgan are part of the banking crash which ruined it

:09:24.:09:31.

I think that is just another one of these threats.

:09:32.:09:37.

JP Morgan have also put a lot of money into the not exit.

:09:38.:09:42.

It is hard for anyone these days to find a job and compete

:09:43.:09:45.

A lot of the time if people come over, they work for a lower wage

:09:46.:09:52.

than the skilled people within this country.

:09:53.:09:56.

We know what it is like living in Europe.

:09:57.:10:01.

As far as I'm concerned I think it is a good thing to have

:10:02.:10:04.

But critics say that freedom of movement comes at a cost.

:10:05.:10:10.

It's OK for the rich but for the ordinary people,

:10:11.:10:13.

the chance of getting their child into a primary school,

:10:14.:10:15.

getting a GP appointment, let alone for their children

:10:16.:10:17.

or grandchildren getting a house, all of those thing

:10:18.:10:21.

are far more difficult than they were 15 years ago.

:10:22.:10:24.

There are warnings from both sides - Stay in the EU and be unable to hold

:10:25.:10:29.

back the tide of migrant workers, or as JP Morgan warns,

:10:30.:10:33.

leave the EU and see jobs ebb away into Europe.

:10:34.:10:43.

Well tonight the Conservative Minister Michael Gove who's heading

:10:44.:10:45.

up the campaign to leave the EU has been facing a live studio

:10:46.:10:48.

He told them it was time to sack an unelected, arrogant EU elite

:10:49.:10:52.

Our deputy political editor John Pienaar was watching.

:10:53.:11:02.

Round two. What was tonight's big story in the campaign air war? The

:11:03.:11:10.

battle to get the biggest and best sound bites on the bulletins and the

:11:11.:11:16.

front pages. The Levers came with big promises to the country, lots of

:11:17.:11:21.

them. A plan to hit hard and back at party colleagues when the leave side

:11:22.:11:29.

was compared to an arch populist. That discredits those on the Remain

:11:30.:11:34.

side of the campaign. That dig at a campaign led by former

:11:35.:11:38.

close friend and boss, David Cameron, felt personal but it was

:11:39.:11:43.

just the start. Moments later, nothing less than the alternative

:11:44.:11:46.

plan for government outside of the EU.

:11:47.:11:51.

We could take away VAT on fuel. That means that the poorest in our

:11:52.:11:55.

society can be better off. I outlined leaving the EU, we can

:11:56.:12:01.

invest additional millions in the health service so, that the NHS is

:12:02.:12:04.

stronger if we leave the European Union and invest some of the money

:12:05.:12:08.

back from Brussels, making sure that those who need it get care.

:12:09.:12:14.

He suggested his government may save Port Talbot steel works.

:12:15.:12:18.

We can provide support for industries that are going through

:12:19.:12:21.

difficult times through no fault of the individual's working in them.

:12:22.:12:26.

The audience was feisty, verging on hostile.

:12:27.:12:31.

I feel that the leave campaign is spreading Project Lies. You are

:12:32.:12:37.

waving the flag, saying over the top, men but with no idea what is on

:12:38.:12:43.

the front line or the casualty rate. What about the risk to pounds, to

:12:44.:12:48.

jobs? I cannot guarantee that every person in work will keep their

:12:49.:12:55.

job... But I can say... Who is going to lose that jobs? The 73 Members of

:12:56.:13:02.

Parliament. Was that an admission of jobs at risk? The struggle for

:13:03.:13:08.

Britain's future is picking up pace. The tallying party in the Government

:13:09.:13:12.

mounting up. That debate was feisty. At the end

:13:13.:13:15.

of the week, how are the sides faring? It was extraordinary. A

:13:16.:13:22.

serving minister, setting out promises, draft policy in the way

:13:23.:13:27.

that he did. Like listening to an alternative proposition of a

:13:28.:13:31.

government in exile and since leaving air, he has put a promise on

:13:32.:13:39.

the figures saying that they would spend an extra ?5 billion extra on

:13:40.:13:45.

the NHS. Hearing the damage to David Cameron's authority will not be easy

:13:46.:13:52.

if the vote it to Remain. The campaign has bj entrenched after the

:13:53.:13:59.

JP Morgan warning, with question marks over thousands of jobs on the

:14:00.:14:05.

big issue of migrationings, Leave had said it bass significant to hear

:14:06.:14:09.

the Prime Minister saying that EU migration was not just a price worth

:14:10.:14:14.

paying for being in the European single market but was good for

:14:15.:14:18.

Britain, providing staff and professionals to services like the

:14:19.:14:23.

NHS. There was no point in trying to match the other side's worries and

:14:24.:14:27.

scepticism about EU migration but started to defend it.

:14:28.:14:28.

Thank you very much. Football's governing body, FIFA,

:14:29.:14:36.

has said three former top officials including Sepp Blatter

:14:37.:14:38.

awarded themselves salary increases and bonuses totalling

:14:39.:14:42.

more than ?50 million FIFA have called it a coordinated

:14:43.:14:44.

attempt by the three Our sports correspondent

:14:45.:14:47.

Richard Conway is with me now. Staggering sums of money. ?55

:14:48.:14:59.

million over the course of five years paid to these three men. These

:15:00.:15:03.

were secret payments, no one knew about them apart from this clique at

:15:04.:15:08.

the very top of Fifa and maybe two or three others who authorised them

:15:09.:15:12.

and stayed quiet. Fifa's lawyers are in the process of uncovering

:15:13.:15:17.

historic wrongdoing in its attempt to show to the US Department of

:15:18.:15:22.

Justice and the Swiss authorities that they are serious about cleaning

:15:23.:15:30.

Fifa' up. They need to protect it reputation and status as an

:15:31.:15:33.

institution. That is why they have come forward about this now.

:15:34.:15:38.

Multi-million pound payments over a series of years... To night Sepp

:15:39.:15:41.

Blatter has issued a statement by his lawyer saying that these

:15:42.:15:47.

payments in time will be seen as fine and in line with what the heads

:15:48.:15:52.

of other major soccer leagues received. That ignores the fact that

:15:53.:15:56.

Fifa is a nonprofit organisation. He is subject to a criminal

:15:57.:15:59.

investigation at the moment and I'm told that the Swiss authorities are

:16:00.:16:02.

taking a keen interest in today's developments. I'm sure they are,

:16:03.:16:06.

Richard, thank you. In Paris, the floodwaters

:16:07.:16:09.

are still rising with the river The Louvre and d'Orsay museums have

:16:10.:16:12.

been forced to close to move more This statue measures the height of

:16:13.:16:31.

the Seine. Parisiens crowd around to see how high their river has got.

:16:32.:16:37.

Normally it is rarely reaches his toes. Now it goes all the way up to

:16:38.:16:42.

his thighs. It's incredible. I think everyone is shocked. All Parisiens

:16:43.:16:50.

are shocked, like, what is happening? But it's funny! This town

:16:51.:16:55.

now finds itself living half underwater. The Army has rescued

:16:56.:17:02.

residents caught out by the speed of the floods.

:17:03.:17:07.

TRANSLATION: It scared me terribly. I was really panicked. I've never

:17:08.:17:11.

seen this in my life. It's shocking, it's really shocking. So far more

:17:12.:17:17.

than 20,000 people in France have been moved from their homes. Many

:17:18.:17:21.

more have lost electricity. Floodwaters from some zones have

:17:22.:17:26.

loaded towards the capital. You can see why Paris is worried, the River

:17:27.:17:38.

Seine has risen dramatically. One of the city's most famous sites, the

:17:39.:17:43.

Louvre Museum, the home of the Mona Lisa, is right next to the Seine.

:17:44.:17:52.

The Louvre invited us to see its emergency measures. It has moved

:17:53.:17:59.

these antiquities away from potential flooding. The Mona Lisa

:18:00.:18:03.

herself lives safely on the first floor. But another Renaissance

:18:04.:18:09.

landmark has not been so lucky. The floods have reached here in the

:18:10.:18:15.

western Loire Valley. And tonight here in Paris the River Seine behind

:18:16.:18:22.

me continues to be extremely high and we do not know whether its

:18:23.:18:27.

levels have peaked. France's capital continues to take further emergency

:18:28.:18:28.

measures. Five gang members behind the weapon

:18:29.:18:46.

smuggling operation have been jailed. Former world heavyweight

:18:47.:18:55.

boxing champion Muhammad Ali remains in hospital in Arizona tonight. He's

:18:56.:18:59.

being treated for breathing problems. The 74-year-old has been

:19:00.:19:03.

battling Parkinson's disease since the 1980s.

:19:04.:19:06.

A big rescue operation is still underway off

:19:07.:19:08.

the Greek island of Crete, after a boat carrying hundreds

:19:09.:19:11.

Some bodies have been recovered but it's feared several hundred

:19:12.:19:16.

The migrants are believed to have set out from the coast of Egypt.

:19:17.:19:24.

Our Correspondent Orla Guerin has been

:19:25.:19:26.

This was a major international effort today involving vessels and

:19:27.:19:44.

helicopters. Passing commercial vessels helped in the rescue effort

:19:45.:19:48.

including an oil tanker and a British ship. We know many lives

:19:49.:19:52.

were saved and more than 300 people were plucked from the waters off

:19:53.:19:57.

Crete. What we don't know tonight is how many lives have been lost. The

:19:58.:20:01.

International organisation for migration estimates that the vessel

:20:02.:20:05.

was about 25 metres long. On that basis it's saying that there could

:20:06.:20:10.

have been 700 people on board that ship. Tonight it's unclear if there

:20:11.:20:14.

are survivors remaining in the water hoping to be found. While that

:20:15.:20:20.

rescue operation was going on on the beaches in Libya, a desperate

:20:21.:20:24.

operation to count bodies washed up yesterday and today, about 120 so

:20:25.:20:28.

far in total and to night the Coast Guard in Egypt have just told us

:20:29.:20:31.

they have prevented another vessel from setting off from the North goes

:20:32.:20:36.

near legs aren't rear with 100 migrants on board. So many

:20:37.:20:39.

indications of the danger of this journey but so clear now that many

:20:40.:20:42.

people are still trying to make that desperate voyage to Europe.

:20:43.:20:46.

A major offensive to recapture Iraq's key city of Fallujah

:20:47.:20:49.

from so-called Islamic State fighters is meeting

:20:50.:20:51.

Government troops are slowly advancing into the city,

:20:52.:20:54.

where tens of thousands of civilians are trapped.

:20:55.:20:57.

Iraqi forces are bombing the city from the air as well as

:20:58.:21:00.

Our correspondent Nafiseh Kohnavard - from the BBC's Persian service -

:21:01.:21:05.

has been given exclusive access to the Iraqi helicopter pilots

:21:06.:21:07.

as they fly combat missions over Fallujah.

:21:08.:21:13.

The battle for Falluja is under way, a mass offensive to recapture

:21:14.:21:16.

This is what the war looks like from above.

:21:17.:21:34.

We are over a village north of Falluja.

:21:35.:21:39.

The pilots have been told more than 20 IS fighters

:21:40.:21:42.

For these pilots, the fight to retake Falluja has been a 24-hour

:21:43.:22:01.

Around 50,000 civilians are trapped down there.

:22:02.:22:15.

There are believed to be up to 3000 IS fighters in the city,

:22:16.:22:26.

accused of killing civilians and using them as human shields.

:22:27.:22:34.

For some, like Mohammad, this battle is personal.

He is from Falluja and his family was trapped in the city.

:22:39.:22:42.

He was told that IS fighters had taken over his own home.

:22:43.:22:51.

TRANSLATION: They had seen pictures of me in uniform.

:22:52.:22:53.

They said I was an infidel and they would kill me.

:22:54.:22:57.

I dropped the bomb that destroyed my house.

:22:58.:23:01.

The pilots are also helping evacuate the injured.

:23:02.:23:10.

And the hardest fighting is yet to come.

:23:11.:23:21.

Nafiseh Kohnavard, BBC News, near Falluja, Iraq.

:23:22.:23:27.

A Japanese boy has been reunited with his parents -

:23:28.:23:31.

six days after they abandoned him on a road in dense forest as

:23:32.:23:34.

a punishment for having been naughty.

:23:35.:23:40.

His parents have apologised, but the case has scandalised Japan,

:23:41.:23:43.

with many calling for them to be prosecuted.

:23:44.:23:45.

Yamato Tanooka disappeared within minutes of being

:23:46.:23:46.

left alone in the wood, which is inhabited by bears.

:23:47.:23:49.

He was found following a massive manhunt -

:23:50.:23:51.

sheltering inside a hut a few miles away.

:23:52.:23:53.

He'd managed to find water but nothing to eat.

:23:54.:23:56.

Yamato Tanooka is brought to a hospital for a checkup after a week

:23:57.:24:08.

Apart from a bit of dehydration, the doctors say he is fine.

:24:09.:24:12.

As a punishment for throwing stones, his parents abandoned him

:24:13.:24:15.

The seven-year-old was missing for six days.

:24:16.:24:21.

Moments after being reunited with his son, a mightily relieved

:24:22.:24:24.

TRANSLATION: We raised him with love and I admit that what we did

:24:25.:24:34.

was excessive, but I had no idea it would end up like this.

:24:35.:24:39.

I deeply regret my excessive behaviour, but what I did,

:24:40.:24:41.

A densely forested area of Hokkaido in the north of Japan.

:24:42.:24:47.

Not a great place for a seven-year-old to go missing,

:24:48.:24:50.

especially as it is home to huge and sometimes not too

:24:51.:24:52.

All week, close to 200 people, including soldiers

:24:53.:25:00.

and volunteers, combed the woods, desperate for clues.

:25:01.:25:07.

But there was no sign of him whatsoever.

:25:08.:25:13.

Then early this morning, a soldier stumbled across him

:25:14.:25:16.

Wearing just jeans and a T-shirt, the resourceful seven-year-old got

:25:17.:25:20.

between these mattresses during the chilly nights.

:25:21.:25:23.

His first words were, "I'm hungry," this soldier says,

:25:24.:25:26.

An extreme lesson in survival for a seven-year-old.

:25:27.:25:31.

And for parents, a lesson in how not to discipline a child.

:25:32.:25:34.

Tennis and Andy Murray has made it to the final

:25:35.:25:44.

of the French Open in Paris - the first British man to do

:25:45.:25:47.

He beat defending champion Stan Vavrinka in four

:25:48.:25:50.

sets and will now face Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final.

:25:51.:25:54.

Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss was watching the action.

:25:55.:25:57.

The Parisien clay has proved sticky territory for British tennis,

:25:58.:26:03.

But if Andy Murray was feeling any pressure,

:26:04.:26:09.

His opponent, Stan Wawrinka, was the defending champion.

:26:10.:26:13.

Murray blazed his way to the first set, before

:26:14.:26:19.

Wawrinka could only stand and admire.

:26:20.:26:24.

And at two sets up, the Murray camp was understandably bullish.

:26:25.:26:28.

Wawrinka edged the third set and he seemed to be roaring back.

:26:29.:26:34.

Just when it mattered, though, Murray relocated his magic and 79

:26:35.:26:38.

years of waiting were emphatically ended.

:26:39.:26:43.

It now means Murray has reached every Grand Slam

:26:44.:26:46.

But he will be hoping the best here is still yet to come.
