I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria, welcome to the programme.

:00:00.:00:11.

One person is confirmed dead and three people are still missing

:00:12.:00:13.

after part of a decommissioned power station collapsed

:00:14.:00:15.

We'll talk live to those involved in the search for survivors.

:00:16.:00:21.

Also coming up today - More than 40 cases of cat killing

:00:22.:00:24.

and mutilation have been reported across South London over the past

:00:25.:00:28.

We'll have a special report into the search

:00:29.:00:33.

for the Croydon Cat Killer and the impact on the families

:00:34.:00:36.

He was the most important thing I ever had.

:00:37.:00:46.

My Dad and Mum gave him to me for my birthday.

:00:47.:00:48.

And later, competitive parents at children's football games have

:00:49.:00:51.

become so violent that someone may soon be killed.

:00:52.:00:54.

That's the warning from one youth league chairman.

:00:55.:00:56.

We'll be asking if some touchline parents are getting out of control.

:00:57.:01:10.

We're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11am.

:01:11.:01:20.

We are going to talk to the friend of a man fighting for his life in a

:01:21.:01:26.

hospital in Las Vegas, he is being brought back to the UK thanks to the

:01:27.:01:33.

kidness of 5,000 strangers who have crowd funded his return.

:01:34.:01:34.

:01:44.:01:47.

First, rescue teams with sniffer dogs have spent the night searching

:01:48.:01:50.

for three people after a building at Didcot power station

:01:51.:01:52.

One person has died and five were injured when the structure came

:01:53.:01:58.

down yesterday afternoon, creating a 30-foot pile of rubble.

:01:59.:02:02.

The dust cloud following the collapse was captured on camera

:02:03.:02:05.

The Didcot A site closed in 2013 and is in the process

:02:06.:02:10.

The emergency services said the building, which is 300 metres

:02:11.:02:19.

long and ten storeys high, was due to be brought down

:02:20.:02:21.

Sophie Long is at the scene. Sophie, what's the latest there? Good

:02:22.:02:32.

morning, Joanna. Yes, it is a very cold and very difficult morning for

:02:33.:02:36.

many people in Oxfordshire. Didcot A or part of Didcot A power station

:02:37.:02:42.

collapsed yesterday leaving one person dead, five people being

:02:43.:02:46.

treated in hospital and another three people remain unaccounted for

:02:47.:02:50.

this morning. Oxfordshire fire service is in charge of the search

:02:51.:02:54.

and rescue operation here in morning and we're told, we're expecting an

:02:55.:03:00.

update from Simon Fairlong who is co-ordinating the operation any

:03:01.:03:03.

minute now. He is due to join us by the police cordon. You can see a

:03:04.:03:08.

fire engine coming out of the complex there. We are told that this

:03:09.:03:13.

is very much a search and rescue operation still at this stage. The

:03:14.:03:17.

emergency services have been on site throughout the night. They've got

:03:18.:03:23.

specialists from Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and the West Midlands, an

:03:24.:03:28.

expert in urban recovery is on his way from Cheshire as well. The

:03:29.:03:31.

crucial thing at this time is making that building safe. As you say, it

:03:32.:03:36.

is a 300 meter building, the equivalent of ten storeys high. Part

:03:37.:03:40.

of that has collapsed leaving a twisted mass of rubble and a very

:03:41.:03:44.

unstable structure. While the emphasis is on searching for those

:03:45.:03:49.

three people that remain unaccounted for, they also are very concerned

:03:50.:03:53.

about not compromising the safety of those carrying out the search. Are

:03:54.:03:59.

they hopeful that people could still be alive inside the rubble? Of

:04:00.:04:04.

course, Joanna, that's the question that everyone is asking. It has been

:04:05.:04:09.

a very cold night. Temperatures dropping below freezing. But all

:04:10.:04:12.

they can tell us at this stage is that it is early days. That the

:04:13.:04:17.

emphasis is very much on this still being a search and rescue operation

:04:18.:04:21.

and really they can't give anymore information than that at the moment.

:04:22.:04:26.

Obviously, an agonising wait for the families, for the loved ones of

:04:27.:04:30.

those three people who are unaccounted for and thoughts also,

:04:31.:04:33.

of course, with the family of that person who was killed here yesterday

:04:34.:04:39.

afternoon, just after 4pm when that building partially collapsed. It is

:04:40.:04:43.

a very difficult time. The investigation into what happened

:04:44.:04:45.

here is still very much at an early stage. All we know is that Didcot A

:04:46.:04:51.

was being prepared for demolition. It had six cooling towers, three

:04:52.:04:55.

were demolished in July of 2014 and the other three are being prepared

:04:56.:05:00.

for demolition. A crowd just gathering behind me as you see, I

:05:01.:05:04.

believe that's Simon Furlong who is coming to give an update to the

:05:05.:05:08.

media who are gathered here on the state of the search and rescue

:05:09.:05:12.

operation at this stage. The media are just gathering to hear the

:05:13.:05:17.

latest from Simon Fairlong. He is getting into position now. I'm not

:05:18.:05:20.

sure if we can take you over to another camera to hear what he is

:05:21.:05:25.

about to say. We can't do that at the moment,

:05:26.:05:30.

Sophie, unfortunately, but do stay across that and we will try and get

:05:31.:05:34.

his comments and bring them on to the programme. We will be speaking

:05:35.:05:40.

to the local MP, Ed Vaidsy from the scene after 10am.

:05:41.:05:45.

A decision on whether to evict thousands of migrants from the camp

:05:46.:05:48.

in Calais known as the Jungle, is expected this week.

:05:49.:05:51.

French authorities want to bulldoze the make-shift part of the camp,

:05:52.:05:53.

which now has a school, library and youth centre.

:05:54.:06:04.

Ccampaigners and charities have gone to court to try

:06:05.:06:06.

They're concerned about what will happen to the hundreds

:06:07.:06:10.

of unaccompanied minors if the camp is suddenly cleared.

:06:11.:06:12.

As many as 2,000 people will be affected by the demolition of this

:06:13.:06:15.

section of the camp, from where our correspondent

:06:16.:06:17.

The landscape of the so-called jungle migrant camp here in Calais

:06:18.:06:21.

has changed significantly over the past few months. Shops have sprung

:06:22.:06:24.

up all over this section of the camp. There is a dozen restaurants

:06:25.:06:27.

and shops all over here. There is a youth centre and of course, many

:06:28.:06:32.

people live all around this area, but there is a risk that this whole

:06:33.:06:37.

entire area, the southern side of the camp, will be demolished if the

:06:38.:06:41.

French authorities are granted permission by a local judge.

:06:42.:06:45.

You have been speaking to migrants that live here, what's the general

:06:46.:06:50.

mood about that impending possible eviction notice? Well, there is lot

:06:51.:06:55.

of uncertainty around it. The residents of the camp are very aware

:06:56.:07:01.

that we are working on the case. We have their backs as it were, we are

:07:02.:07:05.

really working on trying to work with the authorities to find

:07:06.:07:10.

solutions for everyone when the eventual destruction of the camp

:07:11.:07:13.

does come. We have got to be clear. We don't want this camp to be here

:07:14.:07:17.

forever anymore more than anyone else does, but we want somewhere

:07:18.:07:20.

safe for the people living here to go. Let's play devil's advocate,

:07:21.:07:25.

these people don't own this section of the land. So the French

:07:26.:07:27.

authorities in a way are well within of the land. So the French

:07:28.:07:31.

their right to demolish it, aren't they? In April 2015, so less than a

:07:32.:07:37.

year ago, the local authorities told the refugees and the

:07:38.:07:39.

year ago, the local authorities told that they had their assurance that

:07:40.:07:42.

this was a space that they were welcome to occupy and they would

:07:43.:07:46.

never be re-Evicted from it. Now, we are happy to

:07:47.:07:49.

never be re-Evicted from it. Now, we authorities to find somewhere else

:07:50.:07:52.

for the people to go, but let's remember, these are refugees, the

:07:53.:07:55.

people in this camp are not here for fun. They're here because they're

:07:56.:08:00.

fleeing war, they're fleeing some terrible, terrible experiences and

:08:01.:08:03.

we need to recognise this is a humanitarian crisis and work with

:08:04.:08:07.

them to find solutions. Thank you. In this section of the

:08:08.:08:11.

camp a number of structures have been built. In the distance there

:08:12.:08:16.

you can see the theatre where a performance of hamlet was performed

:08:17.:08:20.

recently and behind me, down this road, is a church and also a

:08:21.:08:25.

brand-new school that's just been built. It is in significant danger

:08:26.:08:30.

of being raised in the near future. The judge has until tomorrow to make

:08:31.:08:33.

her decision, but there could be a decision today and when that

:08:34.:08:36.

decision comes, if she deems it legal, the raising of this section

:08:37.:08:38.

of the camp could begin immediately. Earlier I spoke to Emad Rad,

:08:39.:08:49.

a Syrian refugee who is living in He passed through the Jungle camp

:08:50.:08:52.

in Calais on the way to the UK. I started by asking him

:08:53.:08:56.

what the conditions I stayed there in Calais

:08:57.:08:58.

for just about one week. It was a very horrible,

:08:59.:09:02.

horrible situation. It didn't protect us

:09:03.:09:05.

from storms, from the wet. And your brother is still there,

:09:06.:09:11.

have you been able to He is there for six months,

:09:12.:09:17.

trying to join me here. They have a bad signal there,

:09:18.:09:32.

so if he has a good I sent a message to

:09:33.:09:47.

let me know about him. What is now being done

:09:48.:09:52.

is there are refitted containers for migrants to move

:09:53.:09:56.

into or they can go to proper migrant accommodation

:09:57.:09:58.

elsewhere in France, what do you think

:09:59.:10:00.

about those options? The government want to do that

:10:01.:10:07.

in France, they want them Why do they want to come

:10:08.:10:20.

to the UK, because This is the first time

:10:21.:10:34.

in our lives we are apart. So he wants to join me

:10:35.:10:45.

to be together again. The situation here is better

:10:46.:10:57.

than in France, of course. I chose to come to the UK

:10:58.:11:01.

because of the language It's a good place to

:11:02.:11:07.

stay for a few years to start a new life again

:11:08.:11:18.

after losing everything Why would you say it's a good place,

:11:19.:11:21.

you mentioned the language? It's the language,

:11:22.:11:31.

friendly people yes, It's the most important

:11:32.:11:41.

thing for us. Because we suffered

:11:42.:11:43.

too much from the war. And we want to be in a safe

:11:44.:11:47.

place with friendly How did you get to

:11:48.:11:50.

the UK from France? Did you come in on a lorry,

:11:51.:12:09.

what did you do? Yes, I tried many times,

:12:10.:12:15.

every day I tried Every day they beat me

:12:16.:12:24.

and sprayed me with They took me away from the station

:12:25.:12:32.

about five miles and just And I had to walk again

:12:33.:12:43.

to the station to try again. Last time, I managed to hide myself

:12:44.:12:56.

behind the wind deflector on top We've been speaking to one truck

:12:57.:13:00.

driver who says going through Calais is too stressful for him

:13:01.:13:09.

because of people trying to get into the trucks trying

:13:10.:13:15.

to come to this country. Yes, he has the right to say that

:13:16.:13:18.

because the police here caught me Maybe they think he

:13:19.:13:23.

will know I am there. It was just the one choice,

:13:24.:13:30.

we have to do that to come When you left Syria,

:13:31.:13:37.

did you always want to come to the UK,

:13:38.:13:45.

was that always your aim? No, the first time I left Syria,

:13:46.:13:50.

I had to leave because of the war, I was just trying to find

:13:51.:13:54.

somewhere else to go. But finally I came

:13:55.:14:20.

to Calais and started Just going back to your brother

:14:21.:14:22.

who is in Calais in the Jungle which they are trying to close,

:14:23.:14:34.

he doesn't want to go for the other He keeps trying to

:14:35.:14:37.

come here to join me. He will target to come

:14:38.:14:43.

here, to join me, yes. He won't change his

:14:44.:15:06.

mind and give his fingerprints in France or Germany,

:15:07.:15:10.

he just wants to join me. I'm joined now from the camp

:15:11.:15:13.

by Caroline Anning, an aid worker for Save the Children and also

:15:14.:15:29.

the comedian Shappi Khorsandi who visited the camp at the weekend

:15:30.:15:32.

with a group of celebrities. Euan Flemming who is a lorry driver

:15:33.:15:34.

who frequently travels I will start with you Ewan, when I

:15:35.:15:42.

was talking to my previous guest, I said that you actually don't like to

:15:43.:15:45.

go through Calais anymore because of the pressures of people trying to

:15:46.:15:49.

get on your lorries, tell us how you feel about the situation?

:15:50.:15:53.

Good morning. Non-of the drivers now volunteer for the Continental work.

:15:54.:16:03.

You go where you are sent. It is the stress and the hassle and the

:16:04.:16:07.

violins you face on a daily basis going through Calais. -- violence. I

:16:08.:16:13.

am on my way to Dover at the moment, I will be in Calais this evening. I

:16:14.:16:17.

am not particularly looking forward to it. When you talk about violence,

:16:18.:16:26.

what happens? The violins is getting more intense, the gangs are getting

:16:27.:16:30.

bigger, there is a lot less it you can do to protect yourself. We're

:16:31.:16:34.

not allowed to stop in Calais at all, it just isn't safe. On the way

:16:35.:16:42.

in all on the way out. We absolutely avoid coming through it at night if

:16:43.:16:46.

possible and we are not allowed to stop for diesel. I stopped this

:16:47.:16:50.

morning and put some diesel in the truck, so I can get a few hours out

:16:51.:16:56.

of Calais before I have to put some diesel in. You went to visit the

:16:57.:17:05.

Jungle with other celebrities, what are your thoughts? My heart goes out

:17:06.:17:12.

to the lorry drivers here also. It is a desperate situation for them as

:17:13.:17:17.

well. The authorities need to listen to what is happening. People are in

:17:18.:17:24.

a desperate situation. I went to the camp on Sunday. I have never seen

:17:25.:17:31.

such a thing... People are desperate to tell you their stories. There are

:17:32.:17:39.

children, on the south side of the camp they want to close down, there

:17:40.:17:44.

are 300, unaccompanied children. I met a little boy who is 12, Jamil,

:17:45.:17:54.

being looked after by a British volunteer, Liz. She is looking after

:17:55.:18:00.

the children, who have been so traumatised on the trip over and

:18:01.:18:05.

what they have experienced in their own country. There is a mistrust of

:18:06.:18:09.

French authorities because they have been brutalised and tear gas. The

:18:10.:18:17.

little boy she introduced me to, Jamil, is 12 and every night he

:18:18.:18:21.

tries to escape on a lorry and get out of there. Every morning he comes

:18:22.:18:28.

back defeated at whatever state he is in and she looks after him. We

:18:29.:18:31.

cannot turn our backs on the unaccompanied children, on anyone

:18:32.:18:37.

there. But for me, those stories were the ones that made me so

:18:38.:18:41.

desperate to do everything I can to help. A lot of these children have a

:18:42.:18:47.

legitimate reason to be in the UK, they have family here. The ones who

:18:48.:18:54.

don't have a legitimate reason, it must be properly protected. If they

:18:55.:18:58.

are to be evicted, they must be looked after by child protection

:18:59.:19:06.

services. At the moment, all options are the shipping containers. It is

:19:07.:19:09.

unacceptable that an unaccompanied child be put in a shipping container

:19:10.:19:16.

with 11 adult males. It is intolerable. I want to bring in

:19:17.:19:24.

Caroline because she is at the camp. What are the options, Caroline? Is

:19:25.:19:31.

that the case, with kids be put into shipping containers with adults they

:19:32.:19:46.

don't know? There has been provision made, as we understand it, for

:19:47.:19:50.

unaccompanied children. There has been a container put aside for

:19:51.:19:55.

unaccompanied children, the estimate is about 400 unaccompanied children

:19:56.:20:00.

so there aren't enough spaces. Nobody is saying this camp behind me

:20:01.:20:05.

is fit for habitation, the conditions are appalling. In all my

:20:06.:20:09.

work in save the children, I am not sure I have seen conditions this

:20:10.:20:14.

bad. But people have built up a community, they have schools, up a

:20:15.:20:19.

club, they have a life. So there is not enough space in the new camp and

:20:20.:20:25.

there isn't the provisions here, community centres and thinks

:20:26.:20:28.

children can go to and feel part of a system and community and at least

:20:29.:20:35.

have people to speak to. We have quite a long delay on the line, but

:20:36.:20:39.

the other option the French authorities are talking about is

:20:40.:20:42.

sending people from that camp elsewhere in France, where they

:20:43.:20:46.

could be better looked after, why don't they want to do that?

:20:47.:20:59.

Sorry, are you asking me Caroline? The children here are very

:21:00.:21:07.

mistrustful of the authorities, they want to find a place where they can

:21:08.:21:15.

seek asylum and safety... What save the children is saying, David

:21:16.:21:20.

Cameron has promised to speed up the process of relocating unaccompanied

:21:21.:21:25.

children who have family in the UK, happy to take them in and look after

:21:26.:21:29.

them. We estimate there is at least 50 children here who have that. Do

:21:30.:21:36.

you see kids running around trying to get on the lorries? When you talk

:21:37.:21:40.

about the people trying to get on the lorries, who do you see? The

:21:41.:21:45.

most part, the people we see are the 20 to 30-year-old males making the

:21:46.:21:50.

most of the situation. Because the camp is right beside the motorway. I

:21:51.:21:57.

think you will find most truck drivers... They are not anti

:21:58.:22:08.

immigration, most people want the camp moved, it is too close to the

:22:09.:22:13.

main thoroughfare and camp moved, it is too close to the

:22:14.:22:15.

for people to disrupt. camp moved, it is too close to the

:22:16.:22:21.

:22:22.:22:27.

?20,000 repairing damage to the roof is of trailers the immigrants have

:22:28.:22:30.

caused. The situation where everybody would be to move the camp

:22:31.:22:35.

further away so the immigrants can be looked after and properly

:22:36.:22:39.

processed. There are systems and processes in

:22:40.:22:42.

processed. There are systems and than just having them in Calais so

:22:43.:22:43.

close to the than just having them in Calais so

colleague a couple of weeks ago who was mugged in Calais. He had his

:22:49.:22:52.

wallet, his phone and his money, credit cards and fuel taken of him.

:22:53.:22:56.

It unacceptable. The bottom line credit cards and fuel taken of him.

:22:57.:23:03.

we are inside of the UK, just across the

we are inside of the UK, just across only trying to do our jobs. You were

:23:04.:23:10.

shaking your head at one point when you win was talking about moving the

:23:11.:23:16.

camp away, what were you thinking? I didn't realise you had seen that,

:23:17.:23:23.

sorry. Having been to the camp, and seen what they have set up there

:23:24.:23:28.

already, how they have helped on the ground with charities like Help

:23:29.:23:35.

Refugees and the structures they have built, the women's Centre and

:23:36.:23:43.

the school. It is not as simple as destroying the community they have

:23:44.:23:46.

built and moving it somewhere else. It is not a portable thing. The

:23:47.:23:51.

fundraising and everything will have to be started from scratch. The

threat to the lorry drivers can be combated by the authorities

:23:56.:24:01.

properly, compassionately, perhaps fast tracking the cases of

:24:02.:24:05.

especially the children and those who have family to come to in the

:24:06.:24:09.

UK. That is the best way to tackle it. As Caroline said, nobody wants

:24:10.:24:16.

the camp that, but eviction must happen properly and slowly, to limit

:24:17.:24:21.

the trauma they have already suffered. This is a case for the

:24:22.:24:27.

authorities to take seriously. It is not about the refugees and the lorry

:24:28.:24:33.

drivers. It is not about refugees and lorry drivers against one

:24:34.:24:38.

another, it is about a group of desperate people not being properly

:24:39.:24:41.

looked after by the authorities and it having repercussions are people

:24:42.:24:45.

like the lorry drivers, who want to get on with the work. Thank you all

:24:46.:24:50.

for joining us. Let us know your thoughts on that.

:24:51.:24:52.

Thanks for joining us today - still to come.

As the chairman of one youth league warns that competitive parents

:24:56.:24:58.

at games have become so violent that someone may soon be killed,

:24:59.:25:01.

we'll talk to the director a grassroots football organisation.

:25:02.:25:04.

Ahead of tonight's ceremony, we'll discuss the lack of black

One person has died and five people were hurt, two of them

:25:25.:25:30.

The derelict site was being prepared for demolition when it happened.

:25:31.:25:39.

This is still a rescue operation. We have seen from previous incidents

:25:40.:25:47.

both abroad and at home, that people can survive considerable periods of

:25:48.:25:52.

time. I would reiterate, this is a rescue operation for the Fire and

after officials confirm they have found the wreckage of a small plane

airplane carrying 23 people. The aircraft lost contact

:27:05.:27:07.

with the control tower shortly Let's catch up with all the sport

:27:08.:27:09.

now and join Jessica. Arsenal were tormented

:27:10.:27:14.

by Lionel Messi last night. Yes, not just Lionel Messi. Luis

:27:15.:27:27.

Suarez and Neymar as well. They are known as the three Amigos. If you

:27:28.:27:30.

watched that match between Arsenal and Barcelona last night, you got to

:27:31.:27:34.

witness the pleasure of those in action. Much was made of the

:27:35.:27:39.

attacking trio before the match, and they certainly delivered. They

:27:40.:27:43.

picked the ball up in their own half for the first goal. Good interaction

:27:44.:27:51.

between Neymar and Luis Suarez on the left-hand side and then Lionel

:27:52.:27:57.

Messi put them 1-0 up. Then Lionel Messi scored a penalty and made it

:27:58.:28:03.

2-0. Arsene Wenger held his hands up after the match and he said, they

:28:04.:28:06.

are better than us, everybody knows that. So he is honest. They have the

:28:07.:28:13.

return leg in three weeks, but Arsene Wenger has put the nail in by

:28:14.:28:20.

saying Barcelona are 95% through to the quarterfinals. He doesn't seem

:28:21.:28:24.

very helpful. Another team in the last 16 of the Champions League

:28:25.:28:28.

tonight is Manchester City. They are in Ukraine to be playing dynamo

:28:29.:28:34.

Kiev. They rested their star names against Chelsea in the 5-1 defeat in

:28:35.:28:40.

the FA Cup. We expect dingoes names to return the night. We will have

:28:41.:28:44.

the build-up to the game and the reaction from Arsenal and Barcelona

:28:45.:28:45.

when I see you again at ten o'clock. Now we know that tempers can flare

:28:46.:28:48.

on the touchline and when you throw children and their parents

:28:49.:28:52.

into the mix things can get worse but competitive mums and dads

:28:53.:28:55.

at football matches have become so violent that the chairman

:28:56.:28:57.

of Surrey Youth League has warned During one weekend at matches

:28:58.:29:00.

in the county a parent threatenned to stab a referee and another

:29:01.:29:04.

headbutted a linesman. You are getting in touch this

:29:05.:29:21.

morning. Tony said, I have been taking photographs for 17 years.

:29:22.:29:25.

Over that time I have seen all sorts of violence and threats to match

:29:26.:29:29.

officials. I have seen matches where the referee has walked off the

:29:30.:29:34.

pitch. People have found out where the rectory lives and gone to the

:29:35.:29:37.

house to threaten them. The interesting thing, there isn't the

:29:38.:29:40.

same abuse in Rob. John and e-mail says I have refereed

:29:41.:29:48.

Junior football on all levels. I have encountered threats of

:29:49.:29:54.

violence. It changed in 2002, what I witnessed in and under 14

:29:55.:29:58.

competition. Police cars, ambulances, people hurt. Children

:29:59.:30:02.

petrified because grown men and women were fighting on the field and

:30:03.:30:06.

the game was abandoned. Someone else has said we are made to

:30:07.:30:12.

feel guilty or not caring if we don't overdo it.

:30:13.:30:20.

One lady said, my boy's team walked away from the cup because of the

:30:21.:30:24.

violence. Lucy on Twitter said my sons play

:30:25.:30:28.

rugby, football and cricket and the only place with problems is the

:30:29.:30:31.

football pitch. One man said I gave up refereeing

:30:32.:30:37.

because I got sore at by a ten-year-old.

:30:38.:30:42.

Another man said I used to manage a football team and I was threaten to

:30:43.:30:48.

have a brick thrown out my car. Another man used to walk his dog on

:30:49.:30:52.

a football field but gave up because of the language of the parents.

:30:53.:30:58.

Paul Kirton is the director at an organisation called

:30:59.:31:00.

Grassroots Football and every week hears of problems

:31:01.:31:02.

What sort of things do you hear? Yes, thank you very much, good

:31:03.:31:14.

morning, Joanna. Thank you for having us on the show. I would

:31:15.:31:18.

certainly say what all the Twitter feeds and the e-mails that you've

:31:19.:31:23.

received are certainly echoing what we receive on a daily basis. It is

:31:24.:31:26.

interesting that a lot of the comments are coming from referees.

:31:27.:31:32.

One of the most famous cases that we documented last year was the case of

:31:33.:31:37.

a 14-year-old female referee, a school child, which is all she was,

:31:38.:31:42.

and what she did was she spoke out publicly on social media and she

:31:43.:31:48.

told everybody, it was an open letter to parents and coaches to say

:31:49.:31:53.

I'm just a 14-year-old school child refereeing a junior game of

:31:54.:31:57.

football. That's all I am. As a result of that she gained national

:31:58.:32:02.

support and I'm really pleased to say she won a regional award up in

:32:03.:32:06.

the north-east of England which is a fantastic achievement and it really

:32:07.:32:10.

shows that there is support for a change in the game and there is

:32:11.:32:17.

support for a more how can I say it? A move towards it being a sport and

:32:18.:32:21.

a game again and taking away the seriousness a little bit for

:32:22.:32:26.

certainly the youngsters. I think we have moved into an element of taking

:32:27.:32:32.

junior football away from being a game and having fun and enjoyment

:32:33.:32:36.

into something more serious. Why do you think this is? ? What's going on

:32:37.:32:43.

with the parents? I wouldn't just put the blame directly at parents

:32:44.:32:51.

door. I think sometimes there can be over placed assistants. What we see

:32:52.:32:56.

a lot of is sideline shouting and sideline direction, but that can

:32:57.:32:59.

actually have a knock on effect on a child because the easiest way I can

:33:00.:33:06.

put it into context are sorry the easy analogy, if you are doing

:33:07.:33:10.

something complicated like a tax return, the last thing you want is

:33:11.:33:13.

somebody over your shoulder shouting at you because it will be off

:33:14.:33:16.

putting. The same applies to children playing football. They are

:33:17.:33:21.

learning a game. They are learning a sport and shouting from the

:33:22.:33:25.

sidelines is just confusing. It makes matters a little bit worse and

:33:26.:33:28.

unfortunately that can have a snowballing effect because I suppose

:33:29.:33:32.

if you've got 40, 50 people on the sideline and one begins to shout or

:33:33.:33:36.

one steps forward, what you tend to sideline and one begins to shout or

:33:37.:33:39.

find it has a sideline and one begins to shout or

:33:40.:33:41.

rest of the game and unfortunately the people who are actually there to

:33:42.:33:49.

put a stop to it, the referees, at times they can be schoolchildren

:33:50.:33:55.

themselves. Times that gets lost. And at junior level, a lot of the

:33:56.:33:58.

referees are schoolchildren themselves and they need

:33:59.:34:01.

congratulated for doing the job they do in fairness as opposed to

:34:02.:34:05.

everything they say getting challenged and of course, decisions

:34:06.:34:09.

are going to go wrong. There is no, you know, goal-line technology on a

:34:10.:34:12.

Sunday morning in Hampshire, it is based on what the referee can

:34:13.:34:16.

Sunday morning in Hampshire, it is and unfortunately, sometimes

:34:17.:34:18.

decisions go against you and I think there needs to be an acceptance of

:34:19.:34:23.

that in junior football. I want to come in. The Chairman of Surrey

:34:24.:34:28.

Youth League is warning someone may soon be killed. That sounds

:34:29.:34:33.

incredible, what do you think? That's a major concern. I read what

:34:34.:34:39.

Graham had to say this morning and I would probably echo a lot of what he

:34:40.:34:43.

was saying rings true. Will it go to that level? I'm not certain it would

:34:44.:34:48.

escalate to those levels, but certainly there is mum Tim

:34:49.:34:54.

documented cases of assaults on referees, assaults parent to parent

:34:55.:34:58.

and very concerningingly, parents to their own coach. Again, there is

:34:59.:35:04.

also coach on other coaches. The passion in the kind can overspill at

:35:05.:35:07.

times, will it go to the levels that Graham is saying? I'm not convinced

:35:08.:35:11.

it will go to those levels, but I do share his concerns that the passion

:35:12.:35:15.

is over spilling at times into violent. I would certainly share

:35:16.:35:18.

those concerns. Is it just football? We have got

:35:19.:35:24.

lots of people getting in touch on Twitter saying their kids do other

:35:25.:35:29.

sports, rugby, cricket and they don't encounter this issue on other

:35:30.:35:34.

touchlines? It is a fair point. Our organisation, we are the largest

:35:35.:35:37.

grass-roots football organisation in the UK, but we do, we are contacted

:35:38.:35:43.

by certainly, you pick the rugby analogy and in rugby, there is a

:35:44.:35:47.

totally different onus on the player to show respect to the team-mates,

:35:48.:35:52.

to the opposition and to the referee themselves. It doesn't have anywhere

:35:53.:35:57.

near the same level of problems that football has. Having said that,

:35:58.:36:03.

we're also linked in with the large soccer organisations. Youth soccer

:36:04.:36:07.

organisations in the US and they would echo the concerns in this

:36:08.:36:12.

country that there is major problems in youth soccer in the United

:36:13.:36:17.

States. Very, very similar to everything that you've raised today

:36:18.:36:20.

Joanna. What do you think should be done? We have had various youth

:36:21.:36:25.

clubs getting in touch saying they put out various, they put out

:36:26.:36:29.

notices saying that bad behaviour will not be tolerated. How do you

:36:30.:36:33.

make sure that parents and coaches and anyone else who isn't behaving

:36:34.:36:39.

properly in the youth game toes the line? Yeah, I mean, to be fair,

:36:40.:36:44.

there is a formal process in place. If there is behaviour that you feel

:36:45.:36:49.

is unacceptable, whether that's abuse, verbal, whether that's

:36:50.:36:52.

violence, etcetera, there is a formal process that you can follow

:36:53.:36:56.

via the county FA. There is all you would need to do is document that

:36:57.:37:00.

through to the county FA. I think some of the frustrations lie in

:37:01.:37:06.

that, that process can occur, but you maybe at times, we have many

:37:07.:37:10.

people report back that they never ever hear back from putting a report

:37:11.:37:13.

in, other than OK, we will investigate it. The only way that

:37:14.:37:18.

this will be stamped out completely is if we start to self-police it and

:37:19.:37:22.

say it isn't acceptable anymore and... Should parents be banned if

:37:23.:37:27.

they behave badly? Well, I think that's already in place at the

:37:28.:37:30.

moment. I know a lot of leagues around the United Kingdom, that is

:37:31.:37:33.

what they will do, but they've got to see at first hand. I think, you

:37:34.:37:37.

know, you have got a lot of people from leagues and from county FAs,

:37:38.:37:41.

let's get them down to the games on the weekends and let's get them

:37:42.:37:46.

watching and observing. I know in relation to Kick It Out have got a

:37:47.:37:51.

report system on their website in relation to racism. I think there

:37:52.:37:56.

should be potentially some type of system in place for the county FAs

:37:57.:38:00.

for verbal and physical abuse on a weekend as well to make it what it

:38:01.:38:05.

needs to be easier to report. If it is easier to report, I think people

:38:06.:38:08.

will report it. We get somewhere in the region of 900 reports every

:38:09.:38:17.

weekend from around the UK. But the stem or the flow of the complaint is

:38:18.:38:20.

similarment somebody who went a little bit over passionate or over

:38:21.:38:24.

the top and it is either resulted in a push, a shove or sideline slanging

:38:25.:38:29.

match. Unfortunately... Thank you. Thanks, Paul.

:38:30.:38:32.

900 reports a week, that's incredible. It has got you talking.

:38:33.:38:38.

Stephen on e-mail, "I have witnessed verbal abuse between parents and

:38:39.:38:40.

against referees, it is aggressive and threatening. Sport and young

:38:41.:38:43.

children don't need these people around them. It gives off the wrong

:38:44.:38:47.

messages, they should be banned from any contact with sport." Louise on

:38:48.:38:51.

text says, "We have a problem like this in Lincoln, I'm the only mum,

:38:52.:38:56.

parent, ref and I was harassed by opposition parents. My male fellow

:38:57.:39:02.

ref had abuse too. Our son does cricket too, a different story."

:39:03.:39:09.

Andrew on e-mail, "If a parent is violent, they should be arrested and

:39:10.:39:14.

charged with ABH." There is an easy answer to this, ban them and let the

:39:15.:39:18.

children enjoy their sport without having to prove themselves all the

:39:19.:39:23.

time." Phil says, "I managed an under-11 team, sometimes you get an

:39:24.:39:26.

idiot, but not all the time." One texter, "I took my son out of

:39:27.:39:30.

football after hearing children's own parents scream and swear at

:39:31.:39:34.

their own kids for messing up. Disgusting behaviour. Get your

:39:35.:39:38.

children involved in rugby where they will be taught respect for

:39:39.:39:42.

others." Keep your thoughts coming in on that and everything else.

:39:43.:39:46.

We're talking about and coming up, we will have a special report on

:39:47.:39:51.

efforts to catch a sadistic cat killer in South London who preyed on

:39:52.:39:53.

dozens of family pets. It's one of the biggest nights

:39:54.:39:59.

of the year for British music. The Brit Awards are

:40:00.:40:02.

happening tonight. Just five of the almost 50

:40:03.:40:04.

British nominees were black or from ethnic minorities

:40:05.:40:08.

and just one of those Overlooked were critically acclaimed

:40:09.:40:10.

artists like FKA Twigs, Konan and Krept

:40:11.:40:15.

as well as grime artists like Skepta and Stormzy,

:40:16.:40:18.

who both picked up People have been taking to social

:40:19.:40:19.

media are using the hashtag #BritsSoWhite to highlight the lack

:40:20.:40:26.

of diversity in the nominations. Are you wondering what

:40:27.:40:32.

all the fuss is about? I won't be going to

:40:33.:40:35.

the BRITs this year. My black identity is something

:40:36.:41:16.

that's hugely important to me. We can talk about this more now

:41:17.:42:04.

with a BRIT Award winner, Dwayne Vincent, better known

:42:05.:42:06.

as Megaman from So Solid Crew, who picked up the gong

:42:07.:42:09.

for best video back in 2002. Good morning. Before we chat, I want

:42:10.:42:16.

to see the moment when you did pick up the award. Go ahead.

:42:17.:42:54.

It is a wicked video. 21 seconds. Thanks again for everybody at the

:42:55.:43:06.

BRITs. So what do you reckon? Is black

:43:07.:43:12.

talent being overlooked? Yeah, I do feel it is being overlooked. I mean

:43:13.:43:16.

there has been some major impact with grime music all over the world

:43:17.:43:26.

and internationally and you know, Krept and Konan had success. I'm not

:43:27.:43:31.

sure if artists are hung up on it though. I'm not sure the artists are

:43:32.:43:37.

that crazy zwrup set, but it would have been nice to have young black

:43:38.:43:40.

artists that are doing well. Why do you think it isn't happening at the

:43:41.:43:46.

BRITs? I can't put my finger on it. I'm not quite sure, but I can say

:43:47.:43:51.

that, back when we were in the game like, very hard and in record deals,

:43:52.:43:57.

it was very easy because I was an extrovert and I think, I can't say

:43:58.:44:01.

it was easy, but I would definitely say the competition level was

:44:02.:44:04.

different. So our playing field, we had to go a lot more glossier and a

:44:05.:44:10.

lot more extrovertish and you know, and really give that international

:44:11.:44:15.

feel straightaway. I'm not sure why, but it is a bit of a let down, but

:44:16.:44:19.

hey, I'm sure the artists are OK and everyone is fine and we will get on

:44:20.:44:23.

and there will be more award shows and we'll try harder, man. It

:44:24.:44:30.

got the issue being talked and looked at. The organisers say they

:44:31.:44:33.

take the issue seriously, looked at. The organisers say they

:44:34.:44:40.

chart success, do you looked at. The organisers say they

:44:41.:44:43.

fair enough? Yeah, in some sense, but I mean, like the MOBOs,

:44:44.:44:47.

fair enough? Yeah, in some sense, MOBOs see a glitch in what is

:44:48.:44:48.

happening MOBOs see a glitch in what is

:44:49.:44:57.

another nomination for it and that's fine, it doesn't

:44:58.:44:59.

another nomination for it and that's every year, but sometimes we do need

:45:00.:45:04.

a fresh category, you know, I should say and I think grime should have a

:45:05.:45:13.

category or even Krept and Konan should have some category. It will

:45:14.:45:19.

be a great show and salute to the artists

:45:20.:45:21.

be a great show and salute to the look forward to next year and

:45:22.:45:23.

hopefully we'll get our presence shown. That's something that the

:45:24.:45:27.

organisers are saying they are looking at, whether it is time to

:45:28.:45:30.

include different genres like grime looking at, whether it is time to

:45:31.:45:34.

as you're saying. What about looking at, whether it is time to

:45:35.:45:38.

:45:39.:45:44.

Wow. Journalists, artists, heads of labels, they are saying in future

they will look at the diversity of those people doing the voting to try

great to talk to you, thank you joining us, Dwain. Thank you.

:46:25.:46:33.

Now the, the latest weather update. Carol has the details. Good morning.

:46:34.:46:37.

This morning it has been a cold start to the day. It has been frosty

:46:38.:46:40.

as well. For many of us, it is dry. Some sunshine around and some

:46:41.:46:43.

showers just peppering the far north of Scotland. They're wintry, the

:46:44.:46:47.

sleet and snow at lower levels, we have got lying snow across parts of

:46:48.:46:51.

Cumbria, here too, we have had snow showers and this area of cloud

:46:52.:46:54.

sinking southwards through the day. It could produce the odd shower here

:46:55.:46:58.

and there, but for most, it's dry and there will be sunshine around.

:46:59.:47:01.

And feeling not too bad in the afternoon if you're in the sun with

:47:02.:47:04.

light winds, for the time of year. As we head through the evening and

:47:05.:47:08.

overnight, the line of cloud continues to sink southwards, it

:47:09.:47:11.

tends to fizzle. It will be a cold night. There will be a frost. The

:47:12.:47:15.

temperatures you can expect in towns and cities around about frozing or

:47:16.:47:19.

below, but in the countryside, lower, in fact where we have got

:47:20.:47:23.

lying snow, the temperature could fall lower than you can see there.

:47:24.:47:32.

Tomorrow we start off with ice. Any fog patches will clear readily and

:47:33.:47:34.

it will be another beautiful day with a lot of sunshine, some

:47:35.:47:38.

showers, peppering the coastlines at times and then later, thicker cloud

:47:39.:47:42.

will come in from the south-west, spreading into Wales, the Midlands

:47:43.:47:45.

and over towards the South East, it will produce showers, but later in

:47:46.:47:49.

the night, it will be replaced by some

We're in the middle of a Champions League week,

and after some magic from Messi, Arsenal look likely to be knocked

Manchester City take on Dinamo Kiev tonight.

:51:06.:51:09.

Radio 5 Live commentator, Conor McNamara, is in the Ukraine

:51:10.:51:13.

though Conor, Arsenal still have the second leg

:51:14.:51:19.

to contest, but Arsene Wenger said Barcelona were 95% through,

:51:20.:51:22.

you can't really argue with that, can you?

:51:23.:51:32.

I think it's very difficult to have any argument with that. It was a

:51:33.:51:38.

sobering evening for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. They know they are

:51:39.:51:44.

nearly there. The 70 minutes of the game they went head to head with

:51:45.:51:48.

Barcelona and held their own. But this is the highest echelon of

:51:49.:51:55.

European football. When you are against Lionel Messi, any

:51:56.:51:56.

European football. When you are you have do get exposed. You might

:51:57.:52:05.

be able to hold on for an hour, 70 minutes, but he is not a one-man

:52:06.:52:10.

team. Arsenal, although they are a stronger team, it looks inevitably

:52:11.:52:15.

like another exit of the competition. Arsene Wenger must feel

:52:16.:52:18.

he is getting closer. He's just reminded of that he is not there

:52:19.:52:20.

yet. Now, Manchester City,

:52:21.:52:21.

Manuel Pellegrini sent out a pretty under-strength side

:52:22.:52:27.

against Chelsea in the FA Cup at the weekend, and

:52:28.:52:29.

they were thrashed 5-1. what does that tell us

:52:30.:52:33.

about Pellegrini's priorities? No excuses for Manchester City,

:52:34.:52:47.

although they have had a busy week. They sacrifice the FA Cup, so now

:52:48.:52:51.

they have two progress in the Champions League to justify that

:52:52.:52:56.

decision. Manchester City are a team who have invested a lot of money in

:52:57.:53:01.

recent seasons and people think they should have a squad of big enough to

:53:02.:53:03.

cope across many competitions. They have never got past this stage

:53:04.:53:09.

before. They won their group last time around, so on paper it is an

:53:10.:53:16.

easy draw. Manchester City will hope to progress, they have never won a

:53:17.:53:20.

two legate game in the Champions League or the old European cup

:53:21.:53:24.

before it. If Manchester City are complaining they have had too many

:53:25.:53:29.

games, dynamo Kiev have not had a competitive match since early

:53:30.:53:33.

December, 11 weeks since the start of the Ukrainian winter break. They

:53:34.:53:36.

haven't played since the group stages of the Champions League.

:53:37.:53:42.

While they have played friendlies, it is not the same thing as

:53:43.:53:46.

competitive action. I think Manchester City will see this as a

:53:47.:53:49.

good chance of going through and reaching a stage of the Champions

:53:50.:53:53.

League they have not been up before. On Sunday they go to Wembley and

:53:54.:53:56.

they have the League Cup final as well. Thank you for your time. That

will be an exciting game to watch. Bill that will be across the BBC

is left is a 30 metre pile of rubble, 12 tonnes of twisted metal.

You can imagine how difficult the operation will be. What was and

known him since you were 18 and you are at medical school together? Yes,

:59:10.:59:14.

we trained at University College London. We have been best friends

:59:15.:59:20.

since. He was best man at my wedding and is one of the dearest people I

:59:21.:59:24.

know. When I heard about this, it was a case of the being shocked

:59:25.:59:30.

initially, but a lot of us decided there was no point being upset,

:59:31.:59:34.

let's focus our energies on doing something positive and getting him

:59:35.:59:39.

home. Being of the generation of social media, we thought let's try

:59:40.:59:43.

and use that to our advantage. We launched this campaign. His friend

:59:44.:59:56.

from home, Alex, set up a Go Fund page and we blasted social media to

:59:57.:00:01.

get as much exposure as we could. You have had an incredible response,

:00:02.:00:06.

you have raised a lot of money? I didn't think I would be sitting here

:00:07.:00:11.

talking to you about this. We were hoping to cover the cost of his

:00:12.:00:15.

repatriation, which is probably about ?100,000 alone. And the

:00:16.:00:20.

additional costs of the hospital, we were hoping to recover possibly from

:00:21.:00:24.

insurance, or legally through insurance. But now we have been so

:00:25.:00:29.

successful, we are hoping we can cover almost all of his costs. We

:00:30.:00:34.

have seen the picture of him in a terrible state in hospital. Tell us

:00:35.:00:39.

more about the injuries, what happened and what state he is in

:00:40.:00:44.

now? It happened last Monday. From what we understand, we have not been

:00:45.:00:48.

told all of the information because there is a criminal case,

:00:49.:00:52.

potentially, over what happened. He was found under a freight truck, a

:00:53.:00:59.

very large American cargo carrier truck. He had suffered extensive

:01:00.:01:06.

injuries to his neck, broken three bones in his neck and had damage to

:01:07.:01:11.

his spinal-cord. Damaged his artery which supplies blood to his

:01:12.:01:15.

spinal-cord. He also had a lot of soft tissue damage. His ears have

:01:16.:01:20.

both been essentially removed and needed to be reattached. One of his

:01:21.:01:27.

arms is extensively damaged, both the nerves and blood supply to his

:01:28.:01:31.

arm is severely affected. He has had two surgeries on his neck, both to

:01:32.:01:37.

stabilise the spine. He has had his arteries repaired and his ears

:01:38.:01:42.

reattach. He is having a track he to me, a windpipe put in to help in

:01:43.:01:48.

Brive and come of the ventilator. But he is in an induced coma and

:01:49.:01:55.

will be so probably for the next week or so. After that, we can

:01:56.:01:59.

hopefully try to think about getting him home. He is stable, but very

:02:00.:02:05.

unwell at the moment. Which is making the transfer back very

:02:06.:02:10.

challenging and expensive event. As we said, the medical treatment in

:02:11.:02:13.

the United States is incredibly expensive and didn't have insurance.

:02:14.:02:17.

If you hadn't have raised the money like this, what would have happened?

:02:18.:02:22.

It is difficult to save, but in situations like this, they would

:02:23.:02:25.

have demanded the money from family and I don't think they could have

:02:26.:02:31.

afforded it. They would have potentially had to sell his flat and

:02:32.:02:35.

any possessions. I am not sure what they would have done, but they would

:02:36.:02:39.

have been legally in their right to try to demand the money from their

:02:40.:02:47.

family. Is what is the prognosis, is it clear? We have been told he has

:02:48.:02:54.

had some damage to his spinal-cord. Being so high up, he could have

:02:55.:03:00.

quadriplegia. He has had some movements in both his arms and legs.

:03:01.:03:07.

I have worked in a spinal and neuro intensive care before and patients

:03:08.:03:10.

can do remarkably well, even when you think they are going to not walk

:03:11.:03:17.

ever again. So, although it is rare, I am hoping he is a rarity, he is a

:03:18.:03:23.

rare individual as a personality. I am hoping he will be one of those

:03:24.:03:24.

cases. Tell us more about him? He went to a

:03:25.:03:36.

Grammar School in Surrey. He did a degree in biomedical sciences and

:03:37.:03:40.

medical school was his second degree. He is the life of the party.

:03:41.:03:44.

There he is in the middle of that picture? That's us when we went to

:03:45.:03:50.

Mount Everest, we went to base camp to race money for Great Ormond

:03:51.:03:54.

Street. He is one of those people that you will remember. There are a

:03:55.:03:58.

lot of people who have been commenting on the Go Fund page that

:03:59.:04:03.

they met him at somebody's random party and they remembered who he

:04:04.:04:09.

was. He was a big, loud, loving individual who would do anything for

:04:10.:04:14.

anyone. He works for Crisis every Christmas and has done for as long

:04:15.:04:19.

as I have known him. He works as a medical advice giving medical care

:04:20.:04:22.

to homeless people that come to see him. He worked for many years with

:04:23.:04:27.

the Terence Higgins Trust which is a HIV charity and used to promote

:04:28.:04:32.

sexual health awareness and HIV testing amongst in the community. He

:04:33.:04:36.

himself is a doctor, who cares for patients. He is an infectious

:04:37.:04:42.

disease registrar looking after some very unwell patients. He spent his

:04:43.:04:48.

life, he has always given his time and, he has always cared for so many

:04:49.:04:53.

people and it is only right that people who don't know him should see

:04:54.:04:57.

that and see what a wonderful person he is because he really is.

:04:58.:05:01.

People have been so generous. When are you hoping he will be back? So,

:05:02.:05:05.

he is having some surgery today from what I understand and then they're

:05:06.:05:09.

looking to try and wake him up in the next five days or so. Once they

:05:10.:05:13.

are happy that he is medically stable, we can start the

:05:14.:05:16.

repatriation process which will take a few days. I'm hoping in ten days

:05:17.:05:21.

time I will be able to share on Facebook and Twitter that he is

:05:22.:05:26.

back. We have had some wonderful consultants from St Mary's Hospital

:05:27.:05:29.

who are looking into how they can get him home and they have been

:05:30.:05:32.

giving support and advice about what we can do and they have beenly aing

:05:33.:05:38.

with the hospital in Las Vegas as well. Again, the generosity of

:05:39.:05:43.

people who don't know hill will hopefully get him home safely. What

:05:44.:05:47.

do you say to the people who have been giving? I'm so eternally

:05:48.:05:50.

grateful. I can't explain how important this person is to me. So,

:05:51.:05:55.

we're all so grateful. Thank you. I hope he comes back

:05:56.:05:57.

soon. Thank you. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt used

by the Government in its argument E-mails show one of the paper's

authors was unhappy When it was published the research

:06:21.:06:35.

suggested there was 11,000 deaths, but the authors said there was no

:06:36.:06:37.

proven link to staffing levels. This comes after junior doctors have

:06:38.:06:41.

announced that there will be another This is Mr Hunt

:06:42.:06:43.

speaking last summer. We want to continue paying premium

:06:44.:06:50.

rates for weekends and we don't think this will reduce the pay bill,

:06:51.:06:57.

but when you turn medicine into a Monday to Friday profession, you end

:06:58.:07:00.

up with catastrophic consequences for patients and in 200 #3rks the

:07:01.:07:04.

then Government changed the contract to give consultants the right to

:07:05.:07:09.

say, "We're not going to do any work at weekends." The result is now if

:07:10.:07:13.

you are admitted on a Sunday, you are 15% more likely to die than if

:07:14.:07:17.

you were admitted on a Wednesday and we have about 6,000 avoidable deaths

:07:18.:07:23.

every year and that's something that doctors, passionately want to

:07:24.:07:23.

change. Well let's try and make

:07:24.:07:25.

sense of all of this, our health editor Hugh Pym

:07:26.:07:28.

is with some junior doctors Hugh, explain what's going on. Well,

:07:29.:07:40.

first of all, Joanna, you can see a small demonstration behind me of

:07:41.:07:42.

junior doctors at the Department of Health. They handed in a petition

:07:43.:07:46.

earlier. They say 50,000 signatures were on it. Supporting their call

:07:47.:07:51.

for the controversial contract not to be imposed. That was announced a

:07:52.:07:56.

couple of weeks ago, that their new contract was going to be imposed

:07:57.:07:59.

because negotiations had stalled. The Government's point of view was

:08:00.:08:02.

they had made a lot of concessions and they had to get on with imposing

:08:03.:08:06.

a new contract which they thought was better for doctors all-round.

:08:07.:08:10.

What these e-mails show is that some of the figures that have been talked

:08:11.:08:16.

about in this debate bear scrutiny and you heard the clip from Jeremy

:08:17.:08:20.

Hunt, the Health Secretary, using the figure of 6,000 excess deaths.

:08:21.:08:24.

That is the number of deaths of people admitted to hospitals at

:08:25.:08:29.

weekends who die within 30 days, compared with the number in the

:08:30.:08:32.

middle of the week. It turns out that 6,000 figure at the time, it

:08:33.:08:37.

was not possible to find out where it came from, journalists including

:08:38.:08:41.

BBC colleagues rang up and the Department of Health couldn't say

:08:42.:08:45.

where it had come from. And the e-mails reveal, confusion in

:08:46.:08:49.

Whitehall as they tried to, if you like, work out where it had come

:08:50.:08:53.

from. One e-mail to another says, "We need to give some sort of

:08:54.:08:56.

assessment that, you know, it is very difficult to know where that's

:08:57.:09:00.

going to come from?" Last August, the Department of Health did put out

:09:01.:09:05.

a note saying the 6,000 figure had come from academic research

:09:06.:09:07.

published a couple of years previously. But then a month later,

:09:08.:09:13.

a new academic study was published suggesting there were 11,000 excess

:09:14.:09:18.

deaths between Friday and Monday. The suspicion always was, had some

:09:19.:09:22.

of the academic data sort of got out and been leaked and then only

:09:23.:09:27.

partially represented? Jeremy Hunt is making clear, his people are

:09:28.:09:31.

making clear, that the figures came from Sir Bruce Keogh, the medical

:09:32.:09:36.

Director of NHS England, that he passed them on and therefore, they

:09:37.:09:39.

came from a perfectly good source. But it does raise a lot of questions

:09:40.:09:43.

about the use of data, the use of statistics and the UK's Statistics

:09:44.:09:50.

Authority got in touch with the Department of Health to say, "You

:09:51.:09:54.

must make clear where this figure comes from."

:09:55.:09:58.

The Justice Secretary Michael Gove - who's campaigning for Britain

:09:59.:10:01.

to leave the European Union has claimed that David Cameron's EU

:10:02.:10:08.

Let's get more from our political correspondent Chris Mason.

:10:09.:10:14.

Let's plunge into a ravine of legal complexity. It involves this

:10:15.:10:25.

organisation, European Court of Justice. It has the job of work out

:10:26.:10:30.

if governments are institutions have broken European law and they can

:10:31.:10:33.

subject those to challenge in front of judges. Now, the Treaties of the

:10:34.:10:40.

European Union are the sacred texts of the organisation and Michael

:10:41.:10:43.

Gove's argument is that because the agreement that was

:10:44.:10:45.

Gove's argument is that because the by the Prime Minister in Brussels

:10:46.:10:49.

hasn't yet been set down in the treaties then perhaps it could be

:10:50.:10:53.

challenged in the court and therefore, isn't as watertight

:10:54.:10:55.

challenged in the court and the Prime Minister might have been

:10:56.:10:59.

implying. Michael Gove has been talking to Laura Kuenssberg. The

:11:00.:11:03.

Prime Minister negotiated in good faith and he has achieved what I

:11:04.:11:07.

consider to be an improvement on the status quo. However, it is also

:11:08.:11:13.

important that we recognise that until there is what the Prime

:11:14.:11:16.

Minister has called on full-on treaty change that the European

:11:17.:11:20.

Court of Justice is not bound by this agreement.

:11:21.:11:23.

So, there is Michael Gove with that prospective. He speaks, of course,

:11:24.:11:28.

as Justice Secretary, someone in charge of all things legal in

:11:29.:11:31.

England and Wales. Not a lawyer himself. But a bit like that old

:11:32.:11:36.

adage that if you put laugh a dozen lawyers in a lift, you will get a

:11:37.:11:39.

dozen opinions, there is disagreement about this. The

:11:40.:11:42.

Government was very, very, very quick to react. Downing Street this

:11:43.:11:47.

morning shortly after 6am when we first broadcast this interview

:11:48.:11:51.

saying no, Michael Gove is wrong and they wield out a former

:11:52.:11:57.

Attorney-General in Dominic Grieve to make that argument. I didn't

:11:58.:12:00.

really understand what he was saying because the main thrust of what he

:12:01.:12:03.

is saying is wrong. He was suggesting that the agreement that

:12:04.:12:06.

the Prime Minister had arrived at with the over 27 member states could

:12:07.:12:11.

just be ignored by the Court of Justice in Luxembourg. That is just

:12:12.:12:16.

panl wrong. It has force of law from the time that we announced that

:12:17.:12:19.

we're staying within the EU, we will be able to raise it in any court

:12:20.:12:23.

case and the court will have to look at it, will have to take it into

:12:24.:12:28.

account, and will have to interpret the treaties in the light of the

:12:29.:12:34.

agreement. And in due course it will be incorm rated into the treaties.

:12:35.:12:37.

More from Michael Gove on that interview throughout the day. Some

:12:38.:12:40.

interesting remarks about immigration to come a little later.

:12:41.:12:45.

Let's step back from the legal weeds and thickets which are if nothing

:12:46.:12:49.

else rather complicated to the human story at the heart of this. The

:12:50.:12:52.

difficult decision that Michael Gove had to take given his long-standing

:12:53.:12:56.

personal friendship with the Prime Minister and the Chancellor and yet

:12:57.:13:00.

deciding in the end to come down on the other side of the argument in

:13:01.:13:05.

this EU referendum. His wife, Sarah Vine has written her column in The

:13:19.:13:21.

that the Prime Minister and his wife were at the Gove's wedding in 2001.

:13:22.:13:27.

Joanna, I will read you this paragraph, she says, "My husband has

You may have recently heard about the "serial animal killer"

:18:09.:18:10.

who is thought to be responsible for the horrific acts of killing

:18:11.:18:13.

and mutilating pet cats in Croydon and across South London -

:18:14.:18:16.

more than 40 cases of cat beheadings have been reported

:18:17.:18:18.

to the South Norwood Animal Rescue and Liberty centre to date,

:18:19.:18:23.

with the majority dating back to the past three years.

:18:24.:18:26.

Deaths of up to 10 cats found decapitated in Croydon and nearby

:18:27.:18:29.

are currently being investigated by the Met Police.

:18:30.:18:33.

However despite current efforts, local MP Chris Philp,

:18:34.:18:35.

is calling for the police to do more.

:18:36.:18:38.

Our reporter, Ashley John-Baptiste went to find out more.

:18:39.:18:47.

When I found out what happened, I was really angry. Why my cat? People

:18:48.:18:57.

are scared and worried for the safety of their family pets. They

:18:58.:19:02.

often know people whose much loved family cat has been taken and Bute

:19:03.:19:06.

late in this way. So people are concerned. One of the owners of the

:19:07.:19:12.

first victims treated me and I felt like I would myself in his shoes and

:19:13.:19:18.

it must be horrible. It is something I have never has to happen to

:19:19.:19:19.

anyone. For more than two years in parts of

:19:20.:19:35.

south London, a number of pet cats are thought to have not just been

:19:36.:19:40.

killed, but deliberately mutilated. Police have so far failed to catch

:19:41.:19:45.

the killer who has caused heartache to the owners. Stacey is a cat lover

:19:46.:19:48.

who lives in the area. It is not her real name. She has asked us to keep

:19:49.:19:53.

her identity secret because she is working with others to try to catch

:19:54.:19:57.

those responsible. She has co-founded a charity to investigate

:19:58.:20:01.

the killings. We initially discovered cats who had their heads

:20:02.:20:04.

and tails removed. Subsequent to that we had cats who had either

:20:05.:20:09.

their heads or tails removed. We have had tour they have been slit

:20:10.:20:16.

open and mutilated. Wayne's was brutally killed. His wife found its

:20:17.:20:21.

dead body. She found her lying there. She didn't go near her or

:20:22.:20:27.

touch her, she didn't know what injuries she had. She just went off

:20:28.:20:32.

to get a towel to wrap her in. It was when I picked her up I realised

:20:33.:20:39.

her head was missing. And her tail, about 30 seconds after I picked her

:20:40.:20:42.

up, I was so shocked her head wasn't there. About 30 seconds afterwards,

:20:43.:20:48.

I realised her tail wasn't there either. Then I knew it wasn't an

:20:49.:20:56.

accident. A petition for the police to do more to catch the killer has

:20:57.:21:01.

received backing from 40,000 people online, including lots of famous

:21:02.:21:10.

faces. It is quite horrifying. A pet is a member of the family, as far as

:21:11.:21:16.

I am concerned. It is bad enough losing a pet is too accidental

:21:17.:21:20.

circumstances. To find somebody is actually doing this is horrible. We

:21:21.:21:25.

have discovered them he is enticing them with fresh, raw chicken. He is

:21:26.:21:31.

probably strangling them and doing the mutilations, either at the point

:21:32.:21:38.

of death or just after. So he is not mutilating live cats, as far as we

:21:39.:21:45.

can tell, but some of them are so close, we're not sure. It is

:21:46.:21:53.

horrible detail. The local MP in the area these attacks are happening,

:21:54.:21:58.

once the police to do more. People are worried, people are keeping

:21:59.:22:01.

their animals inside. People are worried what happens if the cat goes

:22:02.:22:05.

outside. The person behind this is a sick, sadistic individual, so it is

:22:06.:22:10.

a concern knowing this person is in the community. What do you think of

:22:11.:22:16.

the meta-'s current effort? They have made a start, but we need a

:22:17.:22:20.

task force particularly dedicated to find out who is doing this. There

:22:21.:22:24.

has been a great immunity responds in terms of putting out leaflets and

:22:25.:22:31.

getting the word out. Lots of volunteers, people offering to help,

:22:32.:22:34.

people offering to profile for us, do lots of things to try and catch

:22:35.:22:40.

this person. On Thursday morning, I let Leo out, as I would do normally

:22:41.:22:44.

and he never came back. Amber says she feels devastated by the loss of

:22:45.:22:53.

her son's cat, Leo. He was found dead and mutilated a few streets

:22:54.:22:59.

away. He wasn't one to wonder. I cannot understand. He wouldn't go up

:23:00.:23:04.

to people he didn't know. I cannot understand how this person has

:23:05.:23:11.

managed to get him. My mum told me there is a man going round cutting

:23:12.:23:17.

cat's tales of. I got a really, really angry. He was bought for my

:23:18.:23:22.

little boy for his birthday. He loved the cats, we all did. Why? Why

:23:23.:23:30.

are little boy, because he was. When you take in an animal, they become

:23:31.:23:37.

part of your family. He was the most important thing I have ever had. I

:23:38.:23:44.

was so happy my dad and my mum bought him, gave him to me for my

:23:45.:23:50.

birthday. We are in a park where one of the mutilated cats were found. Is

:23:51.:23:53.

this a typical place where these bodies are dumped? Yes and no, the

:23:54.:23:59.

cat from July 2014 was found here. He was mutilated. The one in 2015

:24:00.:24:05.

was found in the woods near her home. But in the main, most of them

:24:06.:24:11.

are found dumped near their homes in suburban areas, rather than hidden

:24:12.:24:15.

away in woodland areas. How do you know it is one person responsible?

:24:16.:24:20.

The veteran has conducted the postmortems believes it is one

:24:21.:24:25.

person. Alongside supporting the petition, James has found another

:24:26.:24:30.

way of helping. We are trying to raise as much awareness as possible

:24:31.:24:34.

to try to catch the killer. It is upsetting for families, so we have

:24:35.:24:39.

tried to offer tickets to anyone, or a group of people who can help us

:24:40.:24:47.

find the killer. Now we have the Ashes of her remains. You have the

:24:48.:24:54.

Ashes? Yes, we have the Ashes. She normally sits in her favourite place

:24:55.:24:59.

in the house. Which is on the cupboard in the kitchen.

:25:00.:25:03.

And the RSPCA say if you suspect something or have had your cat go

:25:04.:25:06.

They've also issued a statement saying, "Tests will be carried out

:25:07.:25:15.

by specialist vets and forensic experts to see if we can find out

:25:16.:25:18.

It is not always appropriate to publicise the details

:25:19.:25:22.

of investigations as this may compromise their effectiveness.

:25:23.:25:39.

And the Met Police in Croydon have also told us this,

:25:40.:25:57.

Let ring you breaking news about Jeremy Clarkson. He has issued an

:25:58.:26:06.

apology to the former producer he plunged after settling a ?100,000

:26:07.:26:11.

racial discrimination and personal injury claim. You may remember the

:26:12.:26:16.

incident, it is what led to Jeremy Clarkson leaving Top Gear and the

:26:17.:26:22.

BBC. It was at the end of filming when Jeremy Clarkson was not given

:26:23.:26:29.

steak. There had been a dispute between the two of them, which

:26:30.:26:34.

ultimately resulted in Jeremy Clarkson leaving the BBC. A BBC

:26:35.:26:39.

investigation found Jeremy Clarkson had subjected the harassment to a

:26:40.:26:43.

32nd physical attack after what was called a sustained verbal Thai raid.

:26:44.:26:54.

-- tirade. The case went through with the producer's lawyers

:26:55.:26:59.

launching a racial discrimination and personal injury claim against

:27:00.:27:03.

Jeremy Clarkson. If they hadn't settled, the next step would have

:27:04.:27:10.

been an employment tribunal and an adjudicator and three members. But

:27:11.:27:13.

they settled and Jeremy Clarkson has issued an apology. The real talking

:27:36.:27:39.

of Surrey Youth League has warned During one weekend at matches

:27:40.:27:41.

in the county, Graham Ekins, said he heard of two parents

:27:42.:27:45.

fighting on the touchline, headbutting and abuse

:27:46.:27:47.

towards linesmen, and a referee being threatened with stabbing

:27:48.:27:49.

by a parent. In a letter written to clubs,

:27:50.:27:51.

Graham said, "The level of outright violence, abuse and

:27:52.:27:54.

disrespect has to stop. Earlier I spoke to Paul Kirton,

:27:55.:28:14.

who is director of the organisation Paul said he has heard often

:28:15.:28:16.

of problems at youth games and explained what happens

:28:17.:28:20.

when complaints are made. To be fair, there is a process in

:28:21.:28:35.

place. If there is behaviour you feel is unacceptable, whether it is

:28:36.:28:39.

verbal abuse, violence etc, there is a formal process you can follow via

:28:40.:28:46.

the county FA. Just document it with the county FA. Some of the

:28:47.:28:52.

frustrations lie in that, that process can occur, but maybe at

:28:53.:28:56.

times we have many people report back they never hear back from

:28:57.:29:00.

putting the report in, other than OK, we will investigate it. The only

:29:01.:29:05.

way it will be stamped out completely if we start to self

:29:06.:29:08.

police it and say it isn't acceptable any more. Should parents

:29:09.:29:15.

be banned if they behave badly? That is already in place at the moment. I

:29:16.:29:19.

know a lot of leagues around the United Kingdom, that is what I will

:29:20.:29:23.

do. They have got to see it first hand. We have a lot of people from

:29:24.:29:29.

leagues and the county FA, let's get them down to the games at the

:29:30.:29:31.

weekends I get them watching and observing. I know in relation to

:29:32.:29:39.

Kick It Out have something on their website in relation to racism. There

:29:40.:29:47.

should be some think the verbal and abuse of the weekend that the county

:29:48.:29:54.

FA. If it is easier to report, I think people will report it. We get

:29:55.:29:59.

in a region of 900 reports every weekend from around the UK. But the

:30:00.:30:04.

flow of the complaint is very, very similar. Somebody who went a bit

:30:05.:30:09.

over passionate, or over the top and it has either resulted in pushing,

:30:10.:30:14.

shoving or a sideline slanging match. We have had a statement from

:30:15.:30:21.

the FA saying more extreme incidents as referee assaults remain few and

:30:22.:30:27.

far between. An estimated 1.2 million games a season, the reports

:30:28.:30:35.

amounted to 1%. But there is no room for complacency and the FA remains

:30:36.:30:39.

vigilant and takes the view one serious assault is one too many.

:30:40.:30:40.

That is through from the FA. You've been sending

:30:41.:30:43.

us in your comments. Philipa on e-mail, "My girls play

:30:44.:30:45.

in an all girls league and we have never heard any bad language

:30:46.:30:48.

at all from parents. All that is shouted

:30:49.:30:50.

is support and encouragement. Girls football is played the way

:30:51.:30:52.

football should be played." They are meant to be role models

:30:53.:30:55.

"What do you expect? The howling and chanting crowds

:31:07.:31:08.

it's the way to behave. Sadly a lot of football fans are not

:31:12.:31:13.

that bright and think It's another sign of the demise

:31:14.:31:16.

of decent behaviour in our society." "One of the main reasons for this

:31:17.:31:20.

is due to games being refereed by well meaning helpers not refs

Britain to leave the EU has claimed that David Cameron's renegotiation

:32:10.:32:12.

deal with EU leaders may not be legally binding. Number Ten has

:32:13.:32:17.

rejected that claim and in the last few minutes the Attorney-General,

:32:18.:32:19.

Jeremy Wright has been explaining why.

:32:20.:32:23.

The job of the European Court is to take account of to interpret,

:32:24.:32:28.

agreements between the 28 nation states. This is one of those

:32:29.:32:32.

agreements and angreement with legal force just as the treaties have

:32:33.:32:36.

legal force and that's not just my opinion, that's the opinion of the

:32:37.:32:39.

lawyers for this Government, the lawyers for the European Union and I

:32:40.:32:43.

suspect, the mat jort of lawyers beyond. Taking it into account is

:32:44.:32:47.

very different from being bound by the agreement, would you not agree?

:32:48.:32:52.

Well, there is no real difference here between what the Court of

:32:53.:32:55.

Justice, the European Court of Justice of the European Union has to

:32:56.:32:58.

do in relation to treaties and what it has to do in relation to this

:32:59.:33:03.

agreement. Its job is to take account of what those agreements and

:33:04.:33:06.

what the participants in the agreements say that the agreements

:33:07.:33:10.

mean. This is a way of demonstrating to the court, I think with some

:33:11.:33:14.

considerable clarity, what is meant by terms for example like, "Ever

:33:15.:33:17.

closer union." Something of huge importance to the United Kingdom.

:33:18.:33:21.

What we have got in this deal, is I think, a great deal of clarity about

:33:22.:33:25.

whatever closer union really means. The European Court of Justice stance

:33:26.:33:29.

above nation states there, is the point that Michael Gove

:33:30.:33:33.

above nation states there, is the and until those States actually sign

:33:34.:33:33.

a treaty then it is and until those States actually sign

:33:34.:33:37.

interpretation. There could be challenges?

:33:38.:33:38.

interpretation. There could be maybe cases and we all understand

:33:39.:33:42.

that. There could be when maybe cases and we all understand

:33:43.:33:45.

treaty change, but it is important to recognise that the status of this

:33:46.:33:51.

agreement is not of no consequence, it is of huge consequence. This is

:33:52.:33:54.

an agreement which the court will be bound to take account of just as

:33:55.:33:58.

they are bound to take account of the wordings of the treties, this

:33:59.:34:02.

agreement sets out the wordings of the treties, this

:34:03.:34:06.

28 nation states want to happen and the court has

:34:07.:34:08.

28 nation states want to happen and that. The court doesn't make the law

:34:09.:34:11.

up. It interprets what the member states agreement. Does it have the

:34:12.:34:18.

same legal strength as a treaty? It has similar legal strength. The

:34:19.:34:22.

court is obliged to look at it and take account of what it says and in

:34:23.:34:26.

just the same way they take account of what the treaties say. That's why

:34:27.:34:27.

this is significant and so important to us.

:34:28.:34:36.

That was Jeremy Wright the joerj. --

:34:37.:34:40.

Attorney-General, Donald Trump has won the Republican

:34:41.:34:54.

caucus in the US state of Nevada,

:34:55.:34:57.

inching him a step closer to becoming the party's

:34:58.:34:58.

candidate for President. Mr Trump is the front

:34:59.:35:00.

runner for the nomination, despite some of his

:35:01.:35:02.

divisive policies. His call for a temporary ban

:35:03.:35:04.

on Muslims entering the US caused controversy around the world,

:35:05.:35:07.

but it's been popular Mr Trump says it's a matter

:35:08.:35:08.

of security. His critics say it's bigoted

:35:09.:35:11.

and plays on what's called voter The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan

:35:12.:35:14.

in the US, went to Mobile Alabama to discuss the issues

:35:15.:35:18.

with an unlikely pairing - Mustafa, a refugee from Syria,

:35:19.:35:20.

and Steve Weller, an American Donald J Trump is calling for a

:35:21.:35:26.

total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

:35:27.:35:27.

Until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is

:35:28.:35:32.

going on. People think all Muslims are Isis.

:35:33.:35:39.

It is a big problem. Not only are what they are saying about Muslims

:35:40.:35:46.

wrong and shameful, it is dangerous. Everybody needs to feel safe in the

:35:47.:35:54.

home place and abroad. Any official that is responsible for bringing

:35:55.:35:59.

people in, that they do not know if they are radical Islamic terrorists

:36:00.:36:02.

will bear responsibility for the consequences of their action. The

:36:03.:36:07.

political realm in which we live right now is poisoned. It is deeply

:36:08.:36:09.

toxic. In defence of Donald Trump his

:36:10.:36:29.

statement was not to just eliminate all refugees, he wants to put a halt

:36:30.:36:35.

to figure out what is going on. That's basically his words. I don't

:36:36.:36:40.

think he really wants to stop people like these folks. But he wants to

:36:41.:36:45.

for now, put a temporary ban on all Muslims, so that's anyone who is of

:36:46.:36:49.

the Muslim faith. That is veriks trem and discriminating. That's

:36:50.:36:55.

extreme, but then there is the radical Muslim that infiltrates

:36:56.:36:59.

which could be a problem. I believe that Mr Trump is ignorant of the

:37:00.:37:04.

facts. Came who came here as a refugee, you can ask this Government

:37:05.:37:08.

to check the history of their life for seven years ago what they did.

:37:09.:37:11.

So they know everything they did before, even us, when we came, we

:37:12.:37:14.

had to get our papers and everything. We did like when we were

:37:15.:37:25.

going to the UAE. Safety first. Safety first. One of the big things

:37:26.:37:29.

in the debate that I struggle with is the fact that I think that the

:37:30.:37:32.

community, the political community, which many people are following, say

:37:33.:37:39.

that safety and compassion are at opposite ends of the spectrum. And I

:37:40.:37:48.

believe that's a false argument. Donald Trump wants to ban all Muslim

:37:49.:37:53.

people. Islam means peace. Our religion means peace. Our Koran

:37:54.:37:58.

doesn't have anything about killing people or killing anyone or being a

:37:59.:38:03.

terrorist. It is a certain segment of your religion that at the refer

:38:04.:38:08.

to as radical Islam, Isis, I've heard that name. I've heard Taliban.

:38:09.:38:15.

I've heard all these names that we have been told by the news medias

:38:16.:38:21.

here and the politicians and others that they are out to harm the West.

:38:22.:38:27.

Donald Trump, it doesn't matter if it took ten years, he just doesn't

:38:28.:38:32.

want you to be here. The fear is if it is happening there, and these

:38:33.:38:38.

people that are chopping heads off over there, could happen here and it

:38:39.:38:44.

has got to be protected before heads start getting chopped off here.

:38:45.:38:50.

Statements made on a political framework to a large broad

:38:51.:38:55.

population need to be weighed very, very carefully because they have an

:38:56.:38:59.

impact for a long, long time. What he has said and what Donald Trump

:39:00.:39:04.

said and other politicians are saying will never go away. Once

:39:05.:39:07.

those words are released around the world, they have an impact on the

:39:08.:39:11.

soul of every person that hears them and I would say that, man was a

:39:12.:39:17.

fool. There is always a solution for that and I know like by

:39:18.:39:22.

communicating with American people, I see what they are feeling about

:39:23.:39:28.

me. There is always a solution. That is to be remembered. There is always

:39:29.:39:33.

a solution. That's a good word. Always.

:39:34.:39:38.

The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan reporting from Mobile Alabama.

:39:39.:39:46.

It is the Brit awards tonight. Adele is expected to win album of the

:39:47.:39:56.

year. Five of the almost 50 British

:39:57.:40:01.

nominees are black or from ethnic minorities and one of those was in a

:40:02.:40:03.

main category. Earlier I spoke to past BRIT Award

:40:04.:40:05.

winner, Dwayne Vincent, better known as Megaman

:40:06.:40:08.

from So Solid Crew, who picked up the gong for best

:40:09.:40:10.

video back in 2002. He told me that he thought black

:40:11.:40:12.

talent was being overlooked, especially as British

:40:13.:40:15.

grime artists had made I'm not sure if artists

:40:16.:40:16.

are hung up on it I'm not sure the artists

:40:17.:40:28.

are that crazy upset, but it would have been

:40:29.:40:36.

nice to have young black Why do you think it isn't

:40:37.:40:38.

happening at the BRITs? I'm not quite sure, but I can say

:40:39.:40:42.

that, back when we were in the game like, very hard and in record

:40:43.:40:50.

deals, it was very easy because I was an extrovert

:40:51.:40:55.

and I think, I can't say it was easy, but I would definitely

:40:56.:40:57.

say the competition So our playing field,

:40:58.:41:00.

we had to go a lot more glossier and a lot more

:41:01.:41:04.

extrovertish and you know, and really give that

:41:05.:41:08.

international feel straightaway. I'm not sure why, but it is a bit

:41:09.:41:13.

of a let down, but hey, I'm sure the artists are OK

:41:14.:41:17.

and everyone is fine and we will get on and there will be

:41:18.:41:20.

more award shows It has got the issue

:41:21.:41:22.

being talked and looked at. The organisers say they take

:41:23.:41:35.

the issue seriously, but say the BRITs tend

:41:36.:41:37.

to go to those who have achieved the highest

:41:38.:41:39.

levels at chart success, Yeah, in some sense,

:41:40.:41:41.

but I mean, like the MOBOs, the MOBOs sees a glitch

:41:42.:41:46.

in what is happening in the music industry and they actually,

:41:47.:41:49.

you know, create another nomination, you know,

:41:50.:41:50.

another nomination for it and that's fine, it doesn't need

:41:51.:41:53.

to be there every year, but sometimes we do need

:41:54.:41:56.

a fresh category, you know, I should say and I think

:41:57.:42:00.

grime should have a category or even Krept and Konan

:42:01.:42:05.

should have some category. It will be a great show and salute

:42:06.:42:12.

to the artists who are nominated, we will look forward

:42:13.:42:17.

to next year and hopefully we'll get

:42:18.:42:19.

our presence shown. That's something that the organisers

:42:20.:42:23.

are saying they are looking at, whether it is time to include

:42:24.:42:27.

different genres like grime What about refreshing

:42:28.:42:29.

as well the people who actually are doing the voting

:42:30.:42:35.

because it is just over 1,000... Journalists, artists,

:42:36.:42:37.

heads of labels, they are saying in future they will look

:42:38.:42:41.

at the diversity of those people doing the voting to try to make sure

:42:42.:42:44.

that there is better I think it is definitely the right

:42:45.:42:49.

thing because like I said, like I said before in 16 years ago,

:42:50.:42:59.

there wasn't this much young artists,

:43:00.:43:04.

black artists, you know, Asian artists or just young

:43:05.:43:10.

kids in the business, we didn't have so much of it and now

:43:11.:43:12.

a days loads of us are doing loads of things, it is only fair

:43:13.:43:16.

that the UK does shine a light on that side of the music industry

:43:17.:43:19.

and give it its fair due. That's what I feel.

:43:20.:43:28.

You have been sending in your views on the report of the serial police

:43:29.:43:34.

killer. A viewer says, "Where is the money coming from for this

:43:35.:43:38.

taskforce?" Janet says, "I am an animal lover and I would love to see

:43:39.:43:41.

this person given a long sentence when caught." Another viewer says,

:43:42.:43:46.

"Animal killers often harm on to harming other people." Thank you for

:43:47.:43:50.

your comments on that and your thoughts on football. Thank you for

:43:51.:43:54.

your company today. I will see at the same time tomorrow. Have a

:43:55.:43:56.

lovely afternoon. Bye-bye. So here we are at the starting line

:43:57.:44:05.

of this year's Sport Relief games.
