The government suffers its first major defeat on Brexit. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
The House of Lords has voted by a big majority to give EU | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
nationals already living here the right to stay in the UK. | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
This is about as speaking to what people need to put their fears and | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
anguish at bay. Why is everybody here today so excited about an | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
amendment that looks after the foreigners and not the British? | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
The issue now goes back to the Commons, where | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
the Government will attempt to overturn the decision. | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
We'll be asking whether it could delay Brexit? | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Two British doctors who travelled to Syria to join so-called Islamic | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
state have been killed in the Iraqi city of Mosul. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
President Trump tells Americans he wants to invest a trillion | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
dollars in US infrastructure as he declares a new chapter | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
The biggest blunder the Oscars has ever seen - | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
now the two accountants behind the best film mix up are told | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Sex education is to be made compulsory for all | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
schools in England - with children as young as 4 | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
being taught about healthy relationships. | :01:20. | :01:20. | |
And the little girl who became a symbol of Syrian suffering - | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
gets a visit from the British surgeon who saved her. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
Oh my goodness, me. Well, well, well. An NHS Trust is criticised as | :01:30. | :01:42. | |
patients are found having procedures in hospital corridors. The | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
gridlocked Dartford Crossing. Warnings that unless another tunnel | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
is built the economy is at risk. The House of Lords has dubbed the | :01:48. | :02:09. | |
government its first serious blow over the Brexit bill which will | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
trigger the formal process of leaving the EU. They voted by large | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
majority to give European Union nationals who already live here the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
right to stay in the UK. The Prime Minister has so far refused to give | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
any such assurances until British citizens on the continent get | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
similar guarantees. The issue goes to the Commons where the government | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
will attempt to overturn the decision. Laura Kuenssberg is in the | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Houses of Parliament for us now. Things work differently down the red | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
and gold aimed a parliament here in the Lords where the government does | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
not have a majority. The government is not in charge. It was made | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
absolutely plain to ministers tonight. In the Lords chamber a | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
couple of hours ago they handsomely won the day. They have voted | :02:53. | :03:05. | |
contents 358, not contents 256. The contents have it. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
The Lords beat the government by more than 100 votes. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
A bid to force ministers to say people from other | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
EU countries can stay here, and to say so now. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
It thinks to be a win- win for principles of humanity | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
And I hope the House of Commons will now follow | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
the example of the Lords and make sure it confirms this improvement to | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
what was otherwise a pretty dire set of legislation. | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
It's very arrogant to assume that your argument is the | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
only one of principle and yours is the only moral one. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Once people start using words like high ground, | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
principal and moral, I think it's a load of humbug. | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
They voted so that nearly 3 million people, like | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
engineer Alexandrine Cantor, whether from France or Finland, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Poland or Portugal, can have a guarantee they | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
She got the keys to her new flat here | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
just yesterday and doesn't want to leave. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
The first days after Brexit was like a feeling of heartbreak. | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
My fear is the job I left everything for is now uncertain as well. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Now my life is here and I don't want to, I don't want to | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
I don't want to be in danger in my home. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
As we head out, the government's adamant Alexandrine | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
But they won't give that guarantee until | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
the other countries in the EU are willing to do the same for Brits | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
The clash had the Lords packed, even rowdy. | :04:41. | :04:53. | |
With spot the Home Secretary perched next to the gilt | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
We are bleeding the best academics from | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
this country at the present time, who are leaving one by one, or are | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
thinking about leaving because they do not | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
see themselves having a | :05:08. | :05:08. | |
That is urgent, it needs to be dealt with | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
This is about the honour of this house. | :05:12. | :05:22. | |
This is about us speaking to what people need to put their fears | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
And we really have a responsibility to | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Why is everybody here today so excited about an amendment | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
which looks after the foreigners and not the British? | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
Pass this legislation as quickly as possible | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
to activate article 50, and then to negotiate | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
to give these people the | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
rights they deserve to stay in our country. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Are you ready for defeat today, Prime Minister? | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
The Prime Minister is not known, though, for | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
But seven months in, she's not used to defeat. | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
What impact could this have a good this delay Brexit? This particular | :05:57. | :06:09. | |
issue is of huge importance to millions of people, whether they are | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
from Poland, Portugal, France, Finland, wherever, living in the UK. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
And millions of Brits abroad. Not just them, friends, families, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
employers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters. The government is | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
relatively relaxed about this defeat tonight. They wouldn't have chosen | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
for it to have happened, but they are relatively relaxed. Certainly | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
not in panic mode, partly because they expected it to happen. They | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
haven't been taken by surprise. Also because this is not about the Lords | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
stopping the Brexit process from happening. Lords have been at pains | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
to say they are not trying to stand in the wake of the process. This is | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
about members of the House of Lords exercising their duty of scrutiny, | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
testing at government plans, objecting where they see fit, but | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
not trying to chuck them out. On this particular issue there is a | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
cent at Westminster here tonight the government have seen the Lords | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
flexed their muscles, and send a clear message that they will push | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
back as far as Brexit is concerned. Baby is not a sense the Lords have | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
somehow been in the kind of mood where they will be a roadblock to | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
Theresa May's plans. Her timetable of pushing the button on the legal | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
process by the end of March, tonight at least, seems to still be on | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
course. Thank you. Two British medical students | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
who went to join the Islamic State group have been killed | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
during fighting in the Ahmed Sami Khider from London | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
and Hisham Fadlallah from Nottinghamshire - | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
were part of a group of more than a dozen British doctors - | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
many of them of Sudanese origin - who joined so-called Islamic | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
state two years ago, So a deltoid has anterior, | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
middle and prosterior fibres. He was the young British medic | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
who joined so-called Islamic State and made a propaganda video | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
encouraging others to follow. Ahmed Sami Khider, one of those | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
who died this weekend, is seen here in 2015 teaching | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
IS medical students anatomy and pleading for other doctors | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
to join the self-declared caliphate. To specialists, all the people | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
who are specialised surgeons, medicine, anything that you can help | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
will be great here. He was one of a dozen | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
British students, most from Sudanese families, | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
who all went to school in Britain and were radicalised at the same | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
medical college in Khartoum Friends have told the BBC | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
that he died at the weekend during this assault by Iraqi | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
government forces on Mosul. He was in a convoy trying | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
to leave the city and was His friend, Hisham Fadlallah, | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
was also killed. Senior figures in London's Sudanese | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
community said that even when the students joined IS it had | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
been devastating, and Now it is much shocking now to learn | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
actually they come to an end and they died in a cause which most | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
of us reject. As the IS-controlled city of Mosul | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
falls and their other stronghold, Raqqa, comes under extreme pressure, | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
it's likely that many more British IS supporters will be killed | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
and it's possible that some will try to flee back to Britain | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
bringing more problems Police believe that in the last few | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
years around 850 British citizens went to join IS in Syria or Iraq, | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
around 400 have returned, some 130 have been killed, | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
which leaves more than 300 still there, many of them | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
the most ardent supporters. Though as IS slowly loses territory, | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
it will be difficult for the remaining British fighters, | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
in places like Raqqa, to escape, President Trump has used his first | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
speech to Congress to declare what he called a new chapter | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
of American greatness. Adopting a measured tone, | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
very different from his more volatile tweets, he promised | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
"massive tax relief for the middle class", and asked Congress to pass | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
a one trillion dollar package The President said America | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
"strongly supports Nato", but stressed that NATO members "must | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
meet their financial obligations". From Washington, here's our | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
North America editor Jon Sopel. They say that practice | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
makes perfect. And when you're singing a new tune, | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
probably best to give it Donald Trump's tone | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
couldn't have been more Warm, inclusive, | :10:44. | :10:49. | |

measures that should have pleased Democrats, | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
like paid maternity leave and a massive | :11:52. | :11:53. | |

but says it "fully understands" It was the biggest blunder in almost | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
90 years of Oscar history, the moment the film La La Land | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
was mistakenly named Best Picture. Its stars and producers | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
were finishing off their acceptance speeches when the error was pointed | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
out to a shocked audience, who were told that | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Moonlight had in fact won. Well tonight, the president | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
of the Oscars announced that the two accountants responsible | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
for the mix-up will never return James Cook is in Los Angeles. James? | :14:45. | :14:58. | |
That's right, the president of the Academy of motion picture arts and | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
sciences is basically blaming these two accountants, Brian Cullinan and | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
Martha Ruiz. More specifically, though both will not work for the | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
Oscars again, she is blaming Mr Cullinan because the suggestion is | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
he was distracted in the moments before the Best picture award was | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
handed out. He is supposed to be standing in the wings ready to hand | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
over the envelope, double-checking, making sure the right envelope is | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
handed to the right person. Instead it is said he was taking a | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
photograph of actress Emma Stone, who had just picked up her Academy | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
award for her role in Lala land and was distracted. And at the wrong | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
envelope to Warren Beatty. Ian Faye Dunaway went on stage and we know | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
what happens next. The academy says it is reviewing its relationship | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accountancy firm. That relationship | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
for counting and checking the Oscar results dates all the way back to | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
1934. We understand, it's being reported here anyway, the two | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
partners in the firm in question aren't going to be fired from their | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
accountancy firm, but in an industry which prides itself on a reputation | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
for accuracy and precision, one wonders if they will ever live this | :16:09. | :16:09. | |
down. For the first time, | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
all schools in England will have to teach children | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
about sex and relationships. Under the plans, pupils as young | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
as four will be given lessons Older children - those | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
at secondary school - will be taught about the dangers | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
of sexting and online pornography. But ministers say parents | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
will have the right to take their children out of the classes, | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
as our correspondent, Sometimes, I might not | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
feel like a kiss at all, so I won't give her a kiss, | :16:34. | :16:58. | |
is that OK? How young is too young to learn | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
about relationships and sex? These six and seven-year-olds | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
at Goose Green Primary are learning about their bodies, | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
and soon, it will be compulsory for all school children | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
to have lessons like this. Today, the government has announced | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
that age-appropriate classes will be I think there's been | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
a history of everybody thinking that at four, five, six, | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
everybody's going to be The strongest argument for change | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
and more up-to-date teaching Children are more exposed to sexual | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
images than they ever have been, through the internet | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
and mobile phones. Guidance that schools are looking | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
to, in terms of how they teach relationships and sex education, | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
was developed in the year 2000, and Britain is a very, | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
very different place. So it's really important | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
that we have an updated approach that means our children | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
are safe and protected. In primary schools, the focus | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
will be on building healthy relationships and personal | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
boundaries, while secondary schools will highlight | :17:45. | :17:45. | |
the dangers of sexting, Parents will be able to choose | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
to withdraw their children from these classes, but this isn't | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
just about the classroom. Controlling what children see | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
and hear in a digital world means parents have to be one step | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
ahead of technology. The dance moves, certain | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
clothes that she sees. It's actually quite nice to know | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
that kids are being taught about sex and relationship stuff at school | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
by a qualified teacher. It will be hard for them | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
to understand what's actually At this youth charity, | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
they work to encourage what they call "healthy | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
relationships" between They don't believe the current | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
system is equipping children But learning those ideas | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
from a young age engrains it in them, and then when they grow up | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
and start having relationships, they have the foundation | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
of what is a healthy relationship. In Scotland, Wales | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
and Northern Ireland, sex education isn't compulsory, | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
but all UK governments face the challenge of how best to prepare | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
young people for life Last year we brought you the story | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
of five-month-old Maram, the little girl who lost | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
both her parents when her home She was terribly injured, | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
with a broken arm and two broken legs, her plight made her a symbol | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
of the suffering in Syria's war. A British surgeon, David Nott, | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
operated on her before she was sent He didn't know whether | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
she would survive. Now, several months later, | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
he's travelled to Turkey to see her. Our correspondent, | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
Quentin Sommerville, was with him. So much of Aleppo's pain | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
is anonymous, but Maram's An air strike killed her parents | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
and left her gravely ill. Inside Syria, Dr David Nott | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
worked to save her leg. There was shrapnel inside her hip. | :19:51. | :20:03. | |
From here, and only five months old, she was evacuated to Turkey, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
lost and alone. But after months of searching, | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
the BBC tracked her down Everything at home at | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Christmas is lavish. We have lots of happiness and I left | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
this little girl without any food It's going to be a bit emotional, | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
to be really honest. Oh, my goodness me. | :20:26. | :20:47. | |
Gosh, she looks beautiful. You look beautiful. | :20:48. | :21:04. | |
Look what I've got for you. It's a dolly. | :21:05. | :21:17. | |
The final surgery was nearly too much. | :21:18. | :21:29. | |
Well, that's not bad at all, actually. | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
Her wounds are healing, but then there will be work | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
to reconstruct her bones and repair damaged nerves. | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
It's said children can't remember pain. | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
Few, though, have as much to forget as Maram. | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
When I saw Maram today, it was very emotional. | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
And as a doctor, you try and stay fairly unemotional | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
when you're dealing with lots of people with injuries. | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
I suppose, having got children as well now and how much | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
you love that child and, you know, a tiny piece of my heart | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
And that's what I've been thinking about every day since leaving. | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
And this morning was a beautiful moment to meet her again. | :22:14. | :22:31. | |
The British surgeon David Nott and young Maram, whose | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
British cycling and Team Sky are under intense pressure tonight | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
after a scathing attack by the head of UK Anti-Doping who accused them | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
of failing to keep proper records of the medical substances given | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
Nicole Sapstead told MPs that there were no records | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
concerning a mystery package delivered for Sir Bradley Wiggins in | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Our sports editor, Dan Roan, reports. | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
This wasn't Sir Bradley Wiggins' most famous victory, but it may just | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
Last year, it emerged that the day the former Team Sky rider won | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
the Criterium du Dauphine in France, back in 2011, a mystery medical | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
Former British cycling coach, Simon Cope, | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
it, but today told MPs he was none the wiser. | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
I didn't think anything was untoward, you know, | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
it's a national governing body, why would I question the integrity | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
It's not asking, it's not about questioning integrity, | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
it's just about - I'm going through an airport | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
with a package, I'd quite like to know what's actually | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
Last year, Team Sky boss, Sir Dave Brailsford, said he'd been | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
told the package contained Fluimucil, a mere decongestant. | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
Cope had picked the jiffy bag up from the sport's | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
headquarters in Manchester, then traveled to Gatwick | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
before flying to Geneva, and from there driving to France | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
A surprising journey perhaps for medication that could have been | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
Last year, the man who took delivery of the package, | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
Wiggins' doctor at the time, Richard Freeman, refused | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
Last night, he pulled out of giving evidence due to illness. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
Today, the head of the investigation into Wiggins' medical package | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
revealed her surprise at the lack of evidence. | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
We have asked for infantries and medical records that can go | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
to confirming whether it actually was Fluimucil, and we have not been | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
able to ascertain that because there are no records. | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
That, she said, could mean General Medical Council | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
For years now, British cycling and Team Sky have been known | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
for their attention to detail and their marginal gains. | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
It makes their struggle to explain and prove exactly what was in that | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
medical package that was sent from here, the National Velodrome | :24:57. | :25:06. | |
in Manchester, to France, back in 2011, all the more hard | :25:07. | :25:08. | |
to understand and it's cast a shadow over the country's most successful | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
sport and its most decorated Olympian. | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
records being kept that say, this is what the doctor is giving | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
to the riders and this is the reason why. | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
And that should be at the heart of any kind of good | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
So I think it is a pretty damning indictment of the way things have | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
been run in British Cycling and at Team Sky. | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
They tonight said they were confident of no wrongdoing, | :25:33. | :25:34. | |
while British Cycling admitted serious failings in | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
The damage to some of sport's biggest reputations continues. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
Mental health patients are being repeatedly restrained, | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
face down, despite Government guidance which says | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
that the practice should rarely, if ever, be used. | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
New research on patients in England suggests that girls are far more | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
likely to be restrained than boys and that women are more likely to be | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
Our home editor, Mark Easton, has more details. | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
The use of physical restraint by mental health professionals | :26:05. | :26:17. | |
in England, like these being trained in Preston, should now only ever be | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
used as a last resort, and deliberately holding someone | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
But it does, and particularly to young girls. | :26:23. | :26:31. | |
That first time that they grabbed me, I didn't actually | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
In that split second, I didn't realise it was nurses, | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
Fiona was first held face-down when she was admitted to hospital | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
with mental health problems at the age of 14. | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
Every time it happened, it triggered memories of her abuse. | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
It made me quite violent, for a long time. | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
I developed a sort of thing where, if I had any sort of inkling that | :26:56. | :27:11. | |
someone might be violent towards me, I'd be violent first. | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
In 2013, a BBC News report highlighted the scale of face-down | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
The then Mental Health Minister demanded its use should stop, | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
but new figures suggest it remains commonplace, repeatedly used | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
Among girls, face-down restraint was used 2,300 | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
6% of adult women, nearly 2,000 patients, were restrained face-down. | :27:33. | :27:45. | |
In one mental health unit, in north-west London, | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
over 17% of female patients experienced face-down restraint. | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
That's one in six of the women admitted to this Trust. | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
Some hospitals say it's a vital tool to protect patients | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
and staff from harm, but in others, they never use it. | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
The Trust concedes its restraint numbers are high and need to come | :28:06. | :28:07. | |
down, but says it is sometimes necessary to use prone restraint | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
on patients who are disturbed and need to be medicated. | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
It's use, the Trust insists, is always within NHS guidance. | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
But official guidance says there must be no planned | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
or intentional restraint of a person in a prone or face-down position | :28:21. | :28:22. | |
on any surface, not just the floor. | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
We recognise that mental health professionals are often under | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
a tremendous amount of pressure, but there are alternatives. | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
We want to see environments which are therapeutic. | :28:35. | :28:35. | |
Hospitals are places where people should go to get better. | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
The Government says it is taking action to make deliberate face-down | :28:42. | :28:50. | |
restraint a thing of the past, but no one should underestimate | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
the challenges of dealing with a concentrated population | :28:54. | :28:55. | |
Boxing is no stranger to pre-fight banter | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
But comments made by the heavyweights, David Haye | :29:02. | :29:18. | |
and Tony Bellew, ahead of their fight on Saturday have | :29:19. | :29:20. | |
The British Board of Boxing says its "extremely disappointed" | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
at the language used after David Haye insulted his | :29:25. | :29:26. | |
opponent's fans and threatened to hospitalise him. | :29:27. | :29:27. | |
Promoting a big fight goes something like this. | :29:28. | :29:30. | |
Some apparently unstaged fisty cuffs, some unsavioury comments | :29:31. | :29:32. | |
about what you're going to do to your opponent. | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
This right hand is going through (BLEEP)... | :29:36. | :29:37. | |
And endless stunts to drive pay-per-view sales. | :29:38. | :29:43. | |
In the case of Haye v Bellow, it's so far so formulaic, | :29:44. | :29:45. | |
but when does trash talk cross the line into something | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
In the build-up to Saturday's fight, David Haye's rap sheet | :29:49. | :29:55. | |
includes saying he will hospitalise Tony Bellow and cave his skull in. | :29:56. | :30:03. | |
The British Boxing Board of Control has warned him to stop | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
and that he could face sanctions, but tonight he was unrepentant. | :30:07. | :30:10. | |
Is there anything that you've said in the last two weeks that you'd | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
Every single thing I said, at the time I said it, I meant it. | :30:14. | :30:20. | |
Everything I've said in the leadup to this fight will be forgotten once | :30:21. | :30:23. | |
Tony Bellow is stretched out unconscious on the counters. | :30:24. | :30:25. | |
Those comments, they're very disrespectful. | :30:26. | :30:27. | |
They're dragging my sport in the mud and they're just, | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
These kind of comments are nothing new, but 2016 | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
25-year-old Mike Towell died after his last fight and two other | :30:40. | :30:46. | |
fighters were placed into induced comas. | :30:47. | :30:47. | |
There's now a sense from inside the sport that those | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
that those who oversee it must show some leadership. | :30:55. | :30:56. | |
It's not particularly good for the sport. | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
The Boxing Board of Control forever say what they're | :31:01. | :31:02. | |
going to do about it, they never do nothing | :31:03. | :31:04. | |
about it because they are just bloody toothless. | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
I don't particularly like it and a lot of people don't like it. | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
With no belt on the line, it's pure animosity that's driving | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
pay-per-view sales which in turn lines their pockets with millions | :31:14. | :31:15. | |
at stake the small matter of the sport's credibility provides | :31:16. | :31:18. | |
Today, the British Boxing Board of Control general secretary has poke. | :31:19. | :31:31. | |
To both fighters about the extremely disappointing comments and will | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
discuss possible sanctions at a et mooing next week he added, "this is | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
a tough sport and there are tragedies we don't need people | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
acting in this manner." Natalie, thank you. | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
Tonight, we have Armando Iannucci with us, the man behind | :31:45. | :31:54. | |
some great TV satire, the Thick of It and The Day Today | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
which mercilessly mocked programmes like ours. | :31:58. | :31:58. | |
He'll tell us about comedy and politics and whether he's | :31:59. | :32:02. |
