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

:07:50.: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

:08:32.:08:34.

that he died at the weekend during this assault by Iraqi

government forces on Mosul. He was in a convoy trying

:08:42.:08:44.

to leave the city and was His friend, Hisham Fadlallah,

:08:54.: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

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

is anonymous, but Maram's An air strike killed her parents

: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,

the BBC tracked her down Everything at home at

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
