Together we can build a stronger economy. Together we can create more

:00:22.:00:27.

jobs. Together we can meet challenges, whether it is climate

:00:28.:00:31.

change or other problems we face in our world. Britain is a great

:00:32.:00:36.

country, but we've always been a country that makes our voice heard

:00:37.:00:39.

and gets things done by working with others. We don't quit and walk away

:00:40.:00:42.

from organisations, we make them work for us. The ideal position for

:00:43.:00:48.

us is to take back control tomorrow of huge amounts of money so we can

:00:49.:00:52.

spend it on our priorities, take back control of our immigration

:00:53.:00:55.

system and take back control of our democracy. That's what this is all

:00:56.:00:59.

about for me, it is about our chance as a nation, once again, to stand on

:01:00.:01:04.

our own two feet and not rely on Brussels, not be told what to do.

:01:05.:01:07.

If you're still yet to make your mind up,

:01:08.:01:09.

we've got our two impartial fact checkers who're here to answer any

:01:10.:01:12.

Also on the programme, in his first TV interview

:01:13.:01:22.

the grandfather of six-year-old Ellie Butler tells this programme

:01:23.:01:24.

she'd still be alive if justice had been done.

:01:25.:01:28.

The girl's father was jailed for life for her murder yesterday.

:01:29.:01:31.

He'd previously been convicted of shaking her

:01:32.:01:34.

when she was just six-weeks-old, but that was later overturned.

:01:35.:01:37.

We'll talk to Ellie's grandad live in the next half hour.

:01:38.:01:41.

And the children's author missing for 11 weeks after reportedly saying

:01:42.:01:44.

Friends tell us they have no idea what's happened to her, but plead

:01:45.:01:52.

Let somebody know. Just let someone know you're safe. Have your space,

:01:53.:02:03.

have your time, just let us know you're OK.

:02:04.:02:08.

In Paris the Northern Ireland fans are still recovering after

:02:09.:02:11.

celebrating one of the greatest nights in their footballing history.

:02:12.:02:14.

They were beaten by Germany, but have made it through to the next

:02:15.:02:16.

round here at the Euros. We're live until 11am

:02:17.:02:26.

every weekday morning. Throughout the programme we'll bring

:02:27.:02:30.

you the latest breaking news and developing stories

:02:31.:02:33.

and as always, we're really In 15 minutes time we will bring you

:02:34.:02:45.

our two independent experts who are here to answer any, well, we say

:02:46.:02:50.

our, because they have been on so many times, they're friends of the

:02:51.:02:53.

programme, to answer any last minute questions you have about the EU

:02:54.:02:56.

referendum because quite a few people have still yet to make up

:02:57.:02:59.

their minds. Please send them in because today is your last chance.

:03:00.:03:03.

Get in touch on the stories we're talking about this morning as well.

Our top story today, it's the final hectic day

:03:10.:03:12.

of campaigning before you get to decide whether we should stay

:03:13.:03:14.

Both sides of the debate are making their last ditch

:03:15.:03:18.

This morning, directors of companies employing nearly two million people

:03:19.:03:22.

have come out in favour of staying in the EU.

:03:23.:03:24.

They warn in an open letter that leaving will harm

:03:25.:03:27.

But the inventor, Sir James Dyson, says a victory for the remain camp

:03:28.:03:34.

will be what he calls "an act of national self harm."

:03:35.:03:37.

Last night, campaigners for Remain and Leave clashed during a televised

:03:38.:03:40.

debate at Wembley Arena in London as Vicki Young reports.

:03:41.:03:46.

Pop stars, replaced by politicians at Wembley Arena.

:03:47.:03:49.

This was the final showdown of the long campaign

:03:50.:03:55.

with 6,000 watching up close and millions more at home,

:03:56.:03:59.

here was a chance to argue the case one last time

:04:00.:04:02.

Boris Johnson said will there be job losses?

:04:03.:04:08.

All the Remain side have to talk about is Project Fear.

:04:09.:04:21.

We are the fifth biggest economy in the world.

:04:22.:04:23.

We will be able to accomplish free trade once we're free

:04:24.:04:26.

Immigration has played a huge part in this campaign, provoking some

:04:27.:04:29.

The first thing we should do tonight in a discussion about immigration

:04:30.:04:35.

is celebrate immigrants and immigration and everything

:04:36.:04:37.

that they do for our country because I speak entirely personally.

:04:38.:04:44.

My family has benefited massively from immigration.

:04:45.:04:51.

The problem is this - you might start off saying how

:04:52.:04:53.

wonderful immigration is, but your campaign hasn't been

:04:54.:04:56.

Project Fear, it has been Project Hate as far

:04:57.:04:58.

But Remain demanded more detail on their opponents'

:04:59.:05:06.

And I think the Leave campaign are selling people a big con

:05:07.:05:10.

You have never promised to reduce numbers.

:05:11.:05:16.

Have the Leave campaign ever promised to reduce numbers?

:05:17.:05:22.

What we said is you take back control and you can decide.

:05:23.:05:25.

Some have accused the Remain side of lacking passion,

:05:26.:05:29.

And if we vote leave and take back control,

:05:30.:05:43.

I believe that this Thursday can be our country's Independence Day.

:05:44.:05:46.

The campaign teams here are assessing how the debate went

:05:47.:05:53.

for them, but both sides seem to agree that this race is extremely

:05:54.:05:57.

close and this could be one of their last chance to say

:05:58.:06:00.

The Leave side stuck to their tried and tested message that Thursday

:06:01.:06:08.

is all about taking back control, but the Remain side say

:06:09.:06:12.

they were the only ones talking about bread and butter issues

:06:13.:06:14.

Today, there will be one final day of frantic campaigning and then

:06:15.:06:21.

Well, let's talk to our political guru Norman Smith who is at

:06:22.:06:33.

Westminster. So what's happening today then Norman? We're going to

:06:34.:06:36.

have to lie down and recover after last night! What a fer show shoulds,

:06:37.:06:41.

angry and acrimonious occasion, but in a warks it is kind of, I think,

:06:42.:06:46.

emblematic of this referendum and just underlines how divisive it has

:06:47.:06:50.

been, how passionate it has been and how close it has been and how also,

:06:51.:06:55.

you know, at the end of the day, we have heard the arguments, we have

:06:56.:06:58.

heard the presentations and the speeches, at the end of the day,

:06:59.:07:01.

basically, to comes down to two things. We know what they are,

:07:02.:07:04.

immigration and the economy. And that is what it all boils down to.

:07:05.:07:08.

Today, it was interesting listening to Mr Cameron, who was about, you

:07:09.:07:13.

know, early doors doing various interviews, again, trying to defend

:07:14.:07:16.

that pledge to get net migration down to the tens of thousands saying

:07:17.:07:20.

on Friday, if he wins, he will seek to reform free movement within the

:07:21.:07:23.

EU, how will other European countries react? I think they will

:07:24.:07:28.

say to him, "No way Jose." He was saying that he was still regard it

:07:29.:07:35.

as not a realistic ambition, so still trying to defend that pledge

:07:36.:07:38.

which proved so damaging to him. He sought to boil his message down into

:07:39.:07:42.

the one thought about being together. I am deeply patriotic

:07:43.:07:49.

person. I love this country that I have the honour to be the Prime

:07:50.:07:52.

Minister of. I really believe after six years in this job I can see that

:07:53.:07:55.

Britain is stronger, Britain is greater, when we work through these

:07:56.:07:59.

institutions like Nato, like the European Union, to fix the things

:08:00.:08:06.

that we need to fix. If I could sum this-up in one wogt, it would be

:08:07.:08:09.

together. Together we can build a stronger economy, together we can

:08:10.:08:12.

create more jobs and together we can meet challenges whether it is

:08:13.:08:16.

climate change or other problems we face in our world. Britain is a

:08:17.:08:19.

great country, but we've always been a country that makes our voice heard

:08:20.:08:22.

and gets things done by working with others. We see don't quit and walk

:08:23.:08:27.

away from organisations, we make them work for us. Boris Johnson was

:08:28.:08:32.

out and about early doors this morning after last night's debate.

:08:33.:08:38.

He was in Billingsgate fish market where he was asked to kiss a fish!

:08:39.:08:43.

He was pressed on I will gration and what was interesting is he is not

:08:44.:08:48.

setting any figure on the number of migrants he thinks would be

:08:49.:08:51.

acceptable. He is not making any pledge that if we leave the EU we

:08:52.:08:55.

would cut levels of immigration even though I suspect many people who

:08:56.:09:00.

have heard the rhetoric of the Leave campaign thinks that's what they

:09:01.:09:03.

would do. They are not setting a target for reducing net migration.

:09:04.:09:10.

Instead Mr Johnson was extolling the virtues of this Australian-points

:09:11.:09:13.

style system. The ideal position for us is to take back control tomorrow

:09:14.:09:16.

of huge amounts of money, so we can spend it on our priorities, take

:09:17.:09:20.

back control of our immigration system, take back control

:09:21.:09:22.

fundamentally of our democracy. That's what this is all about for

:09:23.:09:26.

me. It is about our chance as a nation, once again, to stand on our

:09:27.:09:31.

own two feet and not rely on Brussels, not be told what to do by

:09:32.:09:35.

unelected, unaccountable officials in Brussels. And to speak up for

:09:36.:09:40.

democracy on behalf of literally hundreds of millions of people

:09:41.:09:44.

around Europe who agree with us. The last thing that struck me Vic

:09:45.:09:52.

watching last night's debate was the extraordinarily feisty performance

:09:53.:09:58.

of Ruth Davidson who voters south of the border haven't seen. It was like

:09:59.:10:02.

a re-run, Nicola Sturgeon when she came down and dominated the platform

:10:03.:10:07.

and Ruth Davidson was like a pocket battleship last night blasting away

:10:08.:10:11.

at Boris Johnson and I will finish with this thought. There was a lot

:10:12.:10:15.

of talk about who might succeed David Cameron and it seems to me, we

:10:16.:10:20.

have seen during this referendum a clutch of formidable women emerge in

:10:21.:10:27.

Tory ranks, not just Ruth Davidson, also Amber Rudd and Andrea Led some,

:10:28.:10:32.

you just wonder if the next Tory leader might not be a man, it might

:10:33.:10:35.

be a woman. Well, who would have thought!

:10:36.:10:41.

We will bring you more on the EU Ryder Cup with our two independent

:10:42.:10:44.

experts. If you have got a question, get in touch in the usual way.

:10:45.:10:53.

Joanna is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

:10:54.:10:55.

A Scottish woman jailed for drugs smuggling has been released

:10:56.:10:59.

from prison in Peru, and is flying back to the UK.

:11:00.:11:02.

22-year-old Melissa Reid, who is seen here at Lima Airport

:11:03.:11:04.

last night, was arrested in 2013, alongside Michaella McCollum

:11:05.:11:07.

from County Tyrone with ?1.5 million worth of cocaine in their luggage.

:11:08.:11:09.

Miss McCollum was freed in March, but remains on parole in Peru.

:11:10.:11:13.

Vigils will be held in cities around the world to remember

:11:14.:11:16.

The grandfather of Ellie Butler is calling for a review

:11:17.:11:19.

of the circumstances that led up to the six-year-old's death.

:11:20.:11:21.

Yesterday Ellie's father, Ben Butler, was found guilty

:11:22.:11:23.

He inflicted catastrophic head injuries on his daughter

:11:24.:11:26.

at their home in south-west London, in October 2013.

:11:27.:11:28.

She died less than a year after she was returned

:11:29.:11:31.

to her parents care following a custody battle.

:11:32.:11:36.

Ellie's grandfather, Neil Gray, who looked after her for five years,

:11:37.:11:41.

will give his first TV interview since the verdict to Victoria

:11:42.:11:43.

Sir Cliff Richard has called for a change to the law so that

:11:44.:11:49.

people accused of sexual offences have their identity protected

:11:50.:11:52.

Last week prosecutors said he would face no charges over

:11:53.:11:59.

historical allegations of sexual abuse.

:12:00.:12:02.

But the singer told ITV's Good Morning Britain programme

:12:03.:12:04.

that he feels his reputation has been tarnished by the accusations.

:12:05.:12:10.

Festival-goers are being urged "not to set off" for Glastonbury due

:12:11.:12:12.

Organisers say current wet weather and ground conditions

:12:13.:12:19.

The gates officially opened an hour ago but people have reported queuing

:12:20.:12:22.

for more than five hours to get on to the site.

:12:23.:12:25.

More than 100,000 people are expected to descend

:12:26.:12:27.

on Worthy Farm for the five-day event.

:12:28.:12:36.

MPs could be able to sign themselves off work for up to weeks. Workers

:12:37.:12:44.

need a note if they are off for more than a week. GPs say they should be

:12:45.:12:49.

trusted more in order to reduce unnecessary appointments. The issue

:12:50.:12:53.

will be debated a the British Medical Association's annual

:12:54.:12:53.

conference today. That's a summary of

:12:54.:12:57.

the latest BBC News. Do get in touch with us

:12:58.:12:59.

throughout the morning. If you have got a question for one

:13:00.:13:12.

of our impartial experts, or if you haven't made up your mind in

:13:13.:13:15.

tomorrow's EU referendum vote, ask your question and maybe it will

:13:16.:13:24.

help. If you text, it will be charged at

:13:25.:13:30.

the standard network. Only one place for us to start and

:13:31.:13:34.

that's with the achements of Northern Ireland. Despite losing 1-0

:13:35.:13:39.

to Germany, they have reached the knock-out stages of Euro 2016.

:13:40.:13:43.

They've made it through as one of the best third placed teams. Well,

:13:44.:13:52.

let's speak to Katie Gornell now. Katie really do have their

:13:53.:13:58.

goalkeeper to thank, don't they? Well, they certainly do, Sally. This

:13:59.:14:02.

was a huge game for Northern Ireland here last night and they knew going

:14:03.:14:07.

into it that a draw would see them through to the last 16, but a narrow

:14:08.:14:10.

defeat and their hopes would still be alive. It was going to be a huge

:14:11.:14:13.

ask against the world champions and it looked like the task was going to

:14:14.:14:17.

get harder when Gomes scored for Germany after half an hour. At that

:14:18.:14:22.

stage, the pressure on the Northern Irish defence was relentless. What

:14:23.:14:26.

the Germans didn't count was on was Michael McGovern having the game of

:14:27.:14:29.

his life in the Northern Irish goal. He pulled off a string of fantastic

:14:30.:14:34.

saves to keep the scoreline down, but for him, the score could have

:14:35.:14:39.

been 6, 7, that's no exaggeration and that narrow defeat meant that

:14:40.:14:43.

Northern Ireland had a good goal difference that saw them through in

:14:44.:14:48.

the end to the last 16, after the result against Turkey last night.

:14:49.:14:52.

Now, Michael O'Neill, speaking after the game, but before he knew his

:14:53.:14:56.

side progressed, he was full of praise for Michael McGovern, of

:14:57.:14:59.

course, but he said what an achievement it would be to get out

:15:00.:15:03.

of that group. When you see the quality of the group we're in,

:15:04.:15:06.

Ukraine, Poland and Germany and for us to come out of that group was an

:15:07.:15:10.

immense achievement. A great group of players. They deserve the

:15:11.:15:15.

opportunity to go to round 16. I fear who we may play, but that's

:15:16.:15:18.

what this experience is about. We are taking lads here who play their

:15:19.:15:21.

club football in the Football League and are coming up here and playing

:15:22.:15:24.

against the best players in the world. So as I say, we want the

:15:25.:15:26.

experience to Could it actually be an all home

:15:27.:15:39.

nations are fair in the last 16? Yes, that is a possibility. They

:15:40.:15:44.

will either play Wales in Paris, Northern Ireland, on Saturday, they

:15:45.:15:51.

could play France in Lyon. We will know for certain after tonight bus

:15:52.:15:55.

group games how the permutations worked out. When Mark -- when

:15:56.:15:59.

Michael O'Neill was asked about it, he said he would prefer to play

:16:00.:16:04.

Wales. He feels he has got a better chance against Chris Coleman's side.

:16:05.:16:08.

He is also may be thinking about the fact that Wales are in a slightly

:16:09.:16:12.

easier side of the draw. Maybe he has got one eye on the

:16:13.:16:17.

quarterfinals. With their motto being Dare to dream, you never know.

:16:18.:16:23.

Great stuff. Tonight it is the return -- turn of the Republic of

:16:24.:16:27.

Ireland. They need a win to go through. It is a big ask. Italy are

:16:28.:16:31.

set to rest many other players. Maybe there is a chance for the

:16:32.:16:33.

Republic as well. So, there's just one day left

:16:34.:16:37.

until the UK decides whether to leave or remain

:16:38.:16:39.

in the European Union. One day left of a campaign

:16:40.:16:42.

which has gone on and on and on and on and on -

:16:43.:16:45.

and quite possibly produced more hot air and Punch and Judy

:16:46.:16:50.

politics than anything else. Certainly more acrimonious than the

:16:51.:17:03.

Scottish Independence Referendum, in my experience.

:17:04.:17:04.

Here's some highlights - or perhaps lowlights.

:17:05.:17:06.

It lasts a couple of minutes and features flashing and strobing

:17:07.:17:08.

I will go to Parliament and propose that the British people decide our

:17:09.:17:25.

future in Europe. Through an inn, in-out referendum on Thursday, the

:17:26.:17:34.

23rd of June. The home you live in, your weekly

:17:35.:17:36.

shop, the monthly bills, these things are all at risk. Why are we

:17:37.:17:41.

spending ?10 billion a year net to Brussels, some of which is spent on

:17:42.:17:46.

Spanish bull-fighting? The real sure tonight is not in Brussels but in

:17:47.:17:52.

Westminster. -- show. What matters is... All of which is... Leave.

:17:53.:18:06.

Remain. After a great deal of heartache, I will be abdicating fold

:18:07.:18:11.

leave. If people vote to leave on the basis of immigration, I'm afraid

:18:12.:18:14.

they will find there will be in the same situation. The governor has

:18:15.:18:23.

strayed into a simple personal prediction. The people who want to

:18:24.:18:27.

drag the United Kingdom out of the European Union are now trying to

:18:28.:18:31.

drag the Queen in. Napoleon and Hitler were all trying to create a

:18:32.:18:38.

United States of Europe. I play with a straight bat. We're losing our

:18:39.:18:44.

identity and we're glad to get swallowed up. I am very positive on

:18:45.:18:50.

the EU. UK will be at the back of the queue. The American president is

:18:51.:18:56.

saying rubbish. I am angry at the way the British people are being

:18:57.:19:02.

misled. Not only have we get depressed wages for British

:19:03.:19:10.

people... Scare stories. You are no fishermen's friend! You

:19:11.:19:16.

are on the European Parliament Fishing committee and you attended

:19:17.:19:20.

one out of 43 meetings. You are a fraud, Nigel. What Mr Geldof did was

:19:21.:19:26.

show his absolute contempt for the men and women who have come here

:19:27.:19:28.

today. I am campaigning to remain in the

:19:29.:19:41.

European Union to protect the rights of workers.

:19:42.:19:48.

Immigrants. Immigrants built this city. The

:19:49.:19:55.

people who are going to bring this future forward on the country but

:19:56.:20:00.

you are not worried. Have a leaflet. No.

:20:01.:20:02.

OK. And yet despite -

:20:03.:20:25.

or perhaps because of - the kind of campaigning we've just

:20:26.:21:19.

seen, many of you are Some of you are still switching as

:21:20.:21:22.

well. And it's the undecideds who hold

:21:23.:21:26.

the balance of power when it comes to the outcome

:21:27.:21:28.

in what is undoubtedly the most important political

:21:29.:21:31.

decision of a generation. So if you are one of those

:21:32.:21:32.

undecideds, we've bought back, by popular

:21:33.:21:34.

demand, our two wise men - our objective, impartial

audience why you are both neutral and impartial. We are an independent

fact checking charity. We have been doing this since 2010 on all sorts

of topics. We are made up of academics who report the results of

in Chelmsford and 22-year-old And Mick Dombey, talking to a slide

:22:23.:22:35.

from his butcher's shop in London, where he may have two interrupt our

:22:36.:22:39.

conversation to serve a customer or two. Good morning. Hello. My

:22:40.:22:50.

difficult situation is, I am of Polish descent by self. My

:22:51.:22:58.

grandfather came here after the war. I do feel that the eastern Europeans

:22:59.:23:05.

are often seen as just here to get as much as they can off the welfare

:23:06.:23:09.

state, as much as they can from the government, when from my experience

:23:10.:23:15.

that is certainly not true. Most people come here because of the

:23:16.:23:20.

reputation this country has. A very caring nation. A very warm nation. A

:23:21.:23:26.

country with much empathy. So my difficult situation is, I feel in my

:23:27.:23:33.

heart that I should vote to stay in. But when I see how many people

:23:34.:23:40.

here... It is bit like Wembley Stadium, it can take 90,000. If you

:23:41.:23:45.

have 120,000 people already in the stadium, I feel the pressure on all

:23:46.:23:50.

of the services is very high. And whether they can cope with what is

:23:51.:23:56.

happening. If the government could assure us that there are plans and

:23:57.:24:00.

steps to actually build more schools, more hospitals, more old

:24:01.:24:05.

people's homes, then I think we would all be a lot happier and could

:24:06.:24:10.

make our decision easier. Particularly if they told us where

:24:11.:24:16.

the money is coming from. That is a question for the comment of the day.

:24:17.:24:20.

In terms of EU referendum, your question is about net migration and

:24:21.:24:22.

what it would be if we remain relief? Yes it is. What would happen

:24:23.:24:32.

in the future regarding our infrastructure, the roads, the

:24:33.:24:35.

railways, the services, if immigration continues as it has done

:24:36.:24:43.

over the next ten years? Will we be able to cope? That is my concern.

:24:44.:24:53.

Let's hear what Ayn Rand and will have to say. What happens to net

:24:54.:24:59.

migration in the UK up to 2030 to Two things to say. You are quite

:25:00.:25:04.

right on the economics. People from Europe who come here contributed to

:25:05.:25:11.

our economy more than they take out. What happens when we stay? We have

:25:12.:25:16.

no obvious control over the number of people from other European member

:25:17.:25:19.

states who come here to work. The majority of migrants from non-EU

:25:20.:25:24.

member states now. If we leave, we have the power to control migration

:25:25.:25:27.

from Europe and the rest of the world. Whether a government would

:25:28.:25:31.

want to, would depend on the calculation of how good they think

:25:32.:25:36.

migration is for our economy. It is difficult to tell. There is clear

:25:37.:25:38.

evidence that migration does benefit the economy. The evidence is that

:25:39.:25:48.

there is possibly a small economic benefit to immigration overall, and

:25:49.:25:52.

that EU immigrants are probably better for our public finances than

:25:53.:25:56.

non-EU immigrants. But we know they are affecting things like schools

:25:57.:26:00.

more than things like nursing homes, because they tend to be younger.

:26:01.:26:05.

That is why they affect schools more than hospitals. We also know that we

:26:06.:26:08.

are not building of houses for everyone who needs a house already.

:26:09.:26:12.

That is to do with the government of the day. Half of population changes

:26:13.:26:20.

driven by immigration. Roughly half of immigration is coming from the

:26:21.:26:33.

EU. It is a factor. OK. Mick, I don't know how far that goes to

:26:34.:26:38.

helping you? I think it does go some way. It is more or less what we have

:26:39.:26:44.

been hearing. I just think if the figures were clearer as to where the

:26:45.:26:52.

money is going to come from, if the gum and decided, we will not

:26:53.:26:57.

continue plans with HS2, the money will come from there, that would

:26:58.:27:02.

really help. I would like, finally, just to say that I am so proud of

:27:03.:27:10.

our nation and the way that we have dealt in the past with all of the

:27:11.:27:16.

conflicts and everything else. I just feel that we are very lucky to

:27:17.:27:20.

live in a country where everybody else would like to come and live. It

:27:21.:27:25.

is a great credit to the British people, which I am very proud to be

:27:26.:27:29.

one. There is no other country, as far as I am aware, with the word

:27:30.:27:34.

great in front of it. You do not have great Belgian, great Germany or

:27:35.:27:42.

great America. I hope on Saturday, or probably Friday, I hope on

:27:43.:27:46.

Saturday the nation gets back together as we have done before and

:27:47.:27:53.

we work to join and be as harmonious as we have been in the past. Mick,

:27:54.:27:58.

that is quite a moving and wise sentiment. I thank you for it. Let

:27:59.:28:04.

me bring in Naomi and Angelo. Naomi, what is your question? I was just

:28:05.:28:10.

wondering how leaving or staying in the EU might affect the NHS, really?

:28:11.:28:18.

The short answer is there is no direct effect on the NHS. We run the

:28:19.:28:22.

NHS. What they have expressed concerns about is if leaving the EU

:28:23.:28:29.

is bad for the UK economy, that probably means there will be less

:28:30.:28:32.

money for the Gottman is to spend overall. That probably means there

:28:33.:28:37.

will be less money for the NHS. That is not a given. We had a recession

:28:38.:28:42.

in 2008. There was less money for the government to spend and they

:28:43.:28:45.

choose to continue spending it on the NHS. That means more cuts

:28:46.:28:50.

elsewhere to make that possible. That is the big concern with the

:28:51.:28:56.

NHS. The EU does not run the NHS. It has some role in regulating medicals

:28:57.:29:00.

and things like that, clinical trials, but it does not run the NHS.

:29:01.:29:05.

Those decisions will still be made in London and Scotland etc. Why is

:29:06.:29:11.

that question key for you? I think the NHS is so important to our

:29:12.:29:15.

country. It brings people together. It looks after people who really

:29:16.:29:20.

need it. I think it is really important that remains free at the

:29:21.:29:25.

point of access. And that everybody who needs health care can get it. I

:29:26.:29:29.

wonder if the response to your question helps you at all in

:29:30.:29:36.

reaching a decision? I think you described reassuring in that whether

:29:37.:29:39.

we leave or stay, hopefully the government will continue to fund the

:29:40.:29:42.

NHS. Let's bring in Angelo. How are you?

:29:43.:29:48.

Hello. Thank you for having me and thank you for the opportunity. What

:29:49.:29:53.

do you do for a living? I run a sports company. We work with

:29:54.:29:59.

children in schools and nurseries. We provide a wide range of different

:30:00.:30:04.

sports services. My question is really about business. If we vote

:30:05.:30:12.

Leave, how is it going to affect the business? It is hard and challenging

:30:13.:30:15.

two to the facts to be scaremongering from both sides. How

:30:16.:30:20.

is it going to affect business to how will it affect taxes? Will

:30:21.:30:21.

things increase in price? Well, part of it will depend what

:30:22.:30:32.

sort of business you are. If you are a business that didn't trade

:30:33.:30:35.

externally or doesn't export or import, isn't reliant on firms that

:30:36.:30:40.

import or export, it may not affect you very much indeed. A lot of

:30:41.:30:44.

exporters like Dyson are in favour because they think if the pound

:30:45.:30:47.

falls, it will be good for them. They can export more because the

:30:48.:30:51.

pound will be weaker. If you are a company that trades with the

:30:52.:30:53.

European market on the other hand, the answer is partly I don't know

:30:54.:30:56.

because it depends on the deal we get, but it might become hard tore

:30:57.:30:59.

trade with the European market, so it is different for different

:31:00.:31:04.

businesses I am afraid. Will? About nine out of ten businesses don't

:31:05.:31:08.

export to the EU. But some big businesses do and it is a very

:31:09.:31:12.

important market for quite a number of businesses. There are two

:31:13.:31:15.

fundamental things that will affect every business. One is if we have an

:31:16.:31:20.

economic slowdown as a lot of people predict even on both sides in the

:31:21.:31:25.

short run, an economic slow down and in the longer run it gets more

:31:26.:31:27.

uncertain. Would that be an opportunity for you? Some businesses

:31:28.:31:31.

would think it would be, but a lot of businesses would be nervous about

:31:32.:31:34.

that. The other is the great big decision that happens after the

:31:35.:31:36.

referendum. If we vote to leave. We have to decide do we stay in the

:31:37.:31:41.

single market or not? If we stay in the single market we will probably

:31:42.:31:44.

still have access to sell into the EU and we will probably still accept

:31:45.:31:49.

freedom of movement for us into the EU and for EU citizens into the UK

:31:50.:31:52.

as well. If we leave the single market then all of those I shall

:31:53.:31:57.

easterned who comes here and who can sell here and who can sell to the

:31:58.:32:01.

rest of the EU come up for grabs in the negotiations. What are you going

:32:02.:32:06.

to do between now and tomorrow to actually reach your decision or can

:32:07.:32:08.

you imagine walking into the polling station and just making up your mind

:32:09.:32:13.

on-the-spot? You know what I think a lot of people are going to do that

:32:14.:32:18.

to be honest. And like I say, it is really hard to see the facts through

:32:19.:32:23.

scaremongering from both sides. To be honest I am leaning more towards

:32:24.:32:30.

remain. But you know, we've got a B52 time so, you know, we could be

:32:31.:32:35.

swayed. Naomi, what about you, between now

:32:36.:32:40.

and tomorrow, Naomi, can you envisage walking in there and just

:32:41.:32:43.

making up your mind on-the-spot? Yes, to be honest, I think I

:32:44.:32:47.

probably will end up making my mind up when I get there. Will you go

:32:48.:32:50.

with your gut at the time that you happen to walk into the polling

:32:51.:32:53.

station? I think I'm going to kind of read up a little bit tonight on

:32:54.:33:00.

both sides and I don't know, flip a coin and while it is in the air, you

:33:01.:33:03.

work out which one it is that you want! Oh my gosh! We are talking

:33:04.:33:09.

about flipping a coin, wow, to make a decision that's so significant. If

:33:10.:33:14.

you flip it while it is in the air, you know with your gut which side it

:33:15.:33:18.

is that you want it to land on. Maybe I'll try that tonight. All

:33:19.:33:22.

right. I've got some more questions here from people who are sending

:33:23.:33:27.

them in from across the UK. Darrel e-mailed, "Is the possibility of a

:33:28.:33:30.

second Scottish independence referendum real in the case of a

:33:31.:33:34.

vote to Leave or is it simply an exaggeration?" Well, I think, I

:33:35.:33:38.

would say two things on that. One, it is quite likely that the country

:33:39.:33:42.

will be very divided over the vote. So you can see a situation where we

:33:43.:33:45.

vote to leave, but Scotland has voted strongly to stay. And that's

:33:46.:33:49.

where this comes from, the notion that the Scots have been outvoted by

:33:50.:33:52.

the English. The SNP, I think, will only hold a referendum if they're

:33:53.:33:55.

sure they're going to win it. They don't want to hold a second

:33:56.:33:58.

referendum and lose it. It will depend partly on the polls. I think

:33:59.:34:02.

if the polls start to show a significant lead for the Scottish

:34:03.:34:04.

independence position, then they might be tempted to ask for a second

:34:05.:34:11.

referendum, yes. OK. This tweet from Sarah, "Please explain the free

:34:12.:34:16.

trade zone. The one that already exists from Iceland to the Russian

:34:17.:34:25.

border." OK. You took a really deep breath there, Will. Why? It gets

:34:26.:34:30.

complicated. Try and communicate in plain English! So we've got the EU.

:34:31.:34:37.

28 member states. Every EU country has free movement between all of

:34:38.:34:41.

them, free trade, free movement of goods so on and so forth and then we

:34:42.:34:46.

have got other countries which are hangers on, countries like Norway.

:34:47.:34:50.

Norway is a member of the European Economic Area. It has signed up to

:34:51.:34:53.

free movement. It is signed up to a lot, but not all of the EU law, and

:34:54.:34:59.

it gets a lot less say into what becomes EU law than EU countries do.

:35:00.:35:04.

It pays some money into the rest of the European Union. Then we have got

:35:05.:35:08.

Switzerland which is one stage further removed and it accepts some

:35:09.:35:12.

EU law, but on a different basis. It pays some money on a different basis

:35:13.:35:16.

and it accepts freedom of movement. Then we have got Turkey where there

:35:17.:35:21.

is a Customs agreement and there has been for many years. You have the EU

:35:22.:35:24.

as the core and then you have a whole set of agreements going out

:35:25.:35:27.

there of different levels of integration. So it is fair to say

:35:28.:35:33.

there is free trade going beyond the EU itself, it is also fair to say

:35:34.:35:38.

that there are quid pro quos of that free trade in every case. This on

:35:39.:35:42.

whatsapp from someone who doesn't leave their name, "I have just

:35:43.:35:46.

renewed our family's ten year passports. Will we need to get new

:35:47.:35:50.

passports if we vote to leave?" No. There is no such thing as an EU

:35:51.:35:58.

passport. You won't have to. OK. Right, I'm going to ask you finally

:35:59.:36:05.

to put your money where your mouth is and tell me what will happen. If

:36:06.:36:10.

you don't mind, or will it affect your impartiality. We don't do

:36:11.:36:16.

political punditry. I'm asking you for your opinion? I think it will be

:36:17.:36:23.

very close. OK, that's the politician's answer despite you

:36:24.:36:26.

being an academic. Listen, good luck. I really appreciate your time

:36:27.:36:30.

this morning. Thank you. Cheers, thank you very much.

:36:31.:36:34.

Still to come, we'll be speaking to the grandfather of six year

:36:35.:36:37.

old Ellie Butler who tells this programme in his first TV interview

:36:38.:36:40.

she'd still be alive if justice had been done.

:36:41.:36:49.

We'll talk to the friends of the children's author who went missing

:36:50.:36:55.

11 weeks ago who said she needed time to herself. Police ruled out

:36:56.:37:00.

foul play. Friends tell us what happened to her is a total mystery.

:37:01.:37:04.

Here's Joanna in the newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:37:05.:37:06.

It's the final hectic day of campaigning before you get

:37:07.:37:09.

to decide whether we should stay or leave the European Union.

:37:10.:37:14.

Both sides of the debate are making their last-ditch

:37:15.:37:16.

David Cameron said he doesn't believe there are any risks to the

:37:17.:37:24.

UK to stay in the EU. Boris Johnson, who is on a tour of England says it

:37:25.:37:28.

is time for a totally new relationship with our partners

:37:29.:37:29.

across the channel. A Scottish woman jailed for drugs

:37:30.:37:33.

smuggling has been released from prison in Peru,

:37:34.:37:36.

and is flying back to the UK. 22-year-old Melissa Reid,

:37:37.:37:38.

who is seen here at Lima Airport last night, was arrested in 2013,

:37:39.:37:41.

alongside Michaella McCollum from County Tyrone with ?1.5 million

:37:42.:37:43.

worth of cocaine in their luggage. Miss McCollum was freed in March,

:37:44.:37:46.

but remains on parole in Peru. Vigils will be held in cities around

:37:47.:37:53.

the world to remember the life of the Labour MP,

:37:54.:37:56.

Jo Cox, who was killed last week. Today would have been her

:37:57.:38:00.

42nd birthday today. She was killed outside her

:38:01.:38:02.

constituency surgery Her family, friends and former

:38:03.:38:05.

colleagues will gather in locations including Trafalgar Square

:38:06.:38:09.

in London, as well as New York, Sir Cliff Richard is calling

:38:10.:38:11.

for a change to the law so that people accused of sexual offences

:38:12.:38:22.

have their identity protected Last week prosecutors said Sir Cliff

:38:23.:38:24.

will face no charges over historical But the singer told ITV's

:38:25.:38:28.

Good Morning Britain programme that he feels his reputation has

:38:29.:38:34.

been tarnished by the accusations. That's a summary of

:38:35.:38:42.

the latest BBC News. Good morning.

:38:43.:38:53.

It is a beautiful day here in Paris as you can probably see, the sun is

:38:54.:38:57.

shining in the centre of the city, but it is even more special if you

:38:58.:39:01.

are a Northern Ireland fan. Let's just remind ourselves of scenes from

:39:02.:39:05.

last night. It was an incredible game. They are through to the last

:39:06.:39:10.

16, despite a 1-0 defeat to Germany. A heavier defeat would have seen

:39:11.:39:14.

them go out, but their goalkeeper Michael McGovern kept them in the

:39:15.:39:19.

gamement 1-0 was the final score there. Sparking huge scenes of

:39:20.:39:25.

celebration in the ground. England have a rest day today. Lots

:39:26.:39:34.

of the papers this morning talking about unrest within the England

:39:35.:39:39.

camp. Some players unhappy about changes, including captain Wayne

:39:40.:39:43.

Rooney, so far Roy Hodgson hasn't commented. And the fixtures are out

:39:44.:39:55.

today. Newcastle go to Fulham. All the details, of course, on the BBC

:39:56.:40:02.

Sport website. Newcastle, of course, starting life in the Championship.

:40:03.:40:06.

That's all the sports news from Paris. Back to you. Thank you very

:40:07.:40:08.

much, Sally. The head injuries sustained

:40:09.:40:12.

by six-year-Ellie Butler were equivalent to those sustained

:40:13.:40:14.

in a high-speed car accident. Except those head injuries

:40:15.:40:17.

were inflicted her own father, Ben Butler, who was jailed

:40:18.:40:21.

for a minimum of 23 years yesterday Butler was a violent and domineering

:40:22.:40:23.

man who abused and controlled both his partner, Jennifer Gray

:40:24.:40:37.

as well as their daughter. He'd already been found guilty

:40:38.:40:40.

of shaking his daughter But that conviction was quashed

:40:41.:40:42.

and a judge handed care of the little girl back

:40:43.:40:45.

to both Butler and Gray. At the time, Ellie's grandfather

:40:46.:40:48.

warned the judge who made that decision would "have

:40:49.:40:50.

blood on her hands". We'll speak to him live in his first

:40:51.:40:53.

TV interview in a moment. First, this is the case against Ben

:40:54.:40:56.

Butler. This is the family life that Ben

:40:57.:41:08.

Butler fought for. Go on, Ellie. And the life he destroyed in a fit of

:41:09.:41:13.

rage. Six-year-old Ellie was living with a man on a short fuse as an

:41:14.:41:17.

accidentally recorded phone call demonstrated. (BLEEP) off. There

:41:18.:41:26.

were several aggressive text messages which the court heard was a

:41:27.:41:32.

torrent of verbal abuse Butler unleashed on his partner. Butler

:41:33.:41:37.

texted, "I can't cope anymore. Woke up. I am in a rage already. Been in

:41:38.:41:42.

place so many times, my hands are shaking. One more mistake, I'm going

:41:43.:41:48.

to lose it." He texted, "Stay out of my way or you will be hurt. Only

:41:49.:41:53.

drunk I can stand you and your ways. Now go die." Days before Ellie's

:41:54.:41:58.

death, Gray, wrote this, "If you weren't here, I would die. Just so

:41:59.:42:03.

you know, that is truth through and through." Video also shows Ellie

:42:04.:42:08.

with a black eye which Butler claimed was from a fall. Weeks later

:42:09.:42:13.

in October 2013, he battered Ellie to death calling her mother moments

:42:14.:42:16.

later. Jennie Gray worked opposite the old

:42:17.:42:20.

baby, yards from the courtroom where the case has been heard. C TV

:42:21.:42:25.

footage shows her rushing home to Sutton where they tried to stage

:42:26.:42:28.

things to look like an accident. Before sending their younger child

:42:29.:42:33.

to find Ellie and finally calling 999. My daughter is not breathing

:42:34.:42:37.

properly. Jennie Gray is shouting with Ben Butler in the background.

:42:38.:42:47.

She is laying there. OK, OK, darling I'm helping you now. It is a 15

:42:48.:42:52.

minute call in which Jennie Gray is instructed on how to resuscitate

:42:53.:42:56.

Ellie. 30 times you need to pump the chest. Detectives soon worked out

:42:57.:43:06.

Ellie had been dead for sometime. When you realise that at the time

:43:07.:43:10.

the ambulance was called, it is give or take two hours after she first

:43:11.:43:16.

knew, that is a is performance that must have been very difficult.

:43:17.:43:21.

The couple had a history. In 2007 Ben Butler was convicted of shaking

:43:22.:43:26.

six-week old Ellie. That was quashed on a legal technicality and Ellie

:43:27.:43:30.

eventually returned to their care. The couple even went on television

:43:31.:43:34.

to complain of their injustice. If anything, he was trying to be, you

:43:35.:43:38.

know, the perfect dad, he was trying to get everything fine. So you

:43:39.:43:41.

wouldn't have had any warning signs or anything that this man could have

:43:42.:43:46.

the potential to be harmful to your baby? No, none at all. I heard no

:43:47.:43:52.

smoke without fire from certain people. It took to pretty much last

:43:53.:44:00.

month to clear my name completely. Jennie had you ever any doubts about

:44:01.:44:05.

Ben? None, I had seen him with her as a baby. I seen, he wanted to see

:44:06.:44:10.

her every day from the minute she was born and he came to see her,

:44:11.:44:14.

even for a minute, even for ten minutes at the door every day just

:44:15.:44:18.

to give her a kiss. Sir Mark was one of the Appeal Court judges who

:44:19.:44:23.

quashed Ben Butler's 2007 criminal conviction on a legal technicality.

:44:24.:44:27.

He can't talk about that directly, but it was the Family Court that

:44:28.:44:31.

later allowed Ellie home. He has told the BBC that judges there faced

:44:32.:44:39.

the most complex of decisions. They decided in a highly emotive context

:44:40.:44:44.

and decided in a situation where a judge has to make a decision one way

:44:45.:44:47.

or the other. If you get the decision right, fine. If you get it

:44:48.:44:51.

wrong, either way there are serious consequences. But in the Family

:44:52.:44:59.

Court, Mrs Justice Hogg went as far to exonerate Ben Butler. Until then

:45:00.:45:03.

her maternal grandfather looked after her. The court ordered that

:45:04.:45:07.

all files on the family held by the police, health, schools and social

:45:08.:45:10.

workers should clearly say that Ben Butler had been exonerated and the

:45:11.:45:14.

couple, or their solicitor could serve that order on any profession

:45:15.:45:16.

they At Elie's school they found she was

:45:17.:45:26.

often absent. The headteacher said normally there would have involved

:45:27.:45:32.

social workers. There was no local authority involvement because of the

:45:33.:45:36.

family court judgment. All we could do was treat the issue as an

:45:37.:45:41.

attendance issue. The official review into the case concludes the

:45:42.:45:47.

court ruling... Making it difficult for others to protect a little girl

:45:48.:45:51.

described by her teachers as gentle and thoughtful.

:45:52.:45:52.

We can talk now exclusively to Ellie Butler's granddad, Neal Gray,

:45:53.:45:54.

Good morning. Good morning. How do you react to the sentence handed

:45:55.:46:11.

down to Butler yesterday? I am happy they gave him a severe sentence but

:46:12.:46:14.

in my opinion the sentence should have been more severe. He should

:46:15.:46:18.

have had at least 40 years with no remission. And the partner should

:46:19.:46:26.

have had at least 20 years. I think they are both culprits, they caused

:46:27.:46:30.

the death of Elie and they covered it up. It is interesting you say,

:46:31.:46:35.

and so should the partner. That is your daughter. That was my daughter.

:46:36.:46:42.

I have disowned her. You don't think one of your own offspring could be

:46:43.:46:48.

possibly involved in a terrible tragic crime. Unfortunately she was.

:46:49.:47:02.

Do except she was under his control? That he was domineering, abusive,

:47:03.:47:11.

controlling? I understand he was violent and controlling but I thinks

:47:12.:47:16.

-- think she is also capable of being the same with him. I would say

:47:17.:47:23.

it is 50-50. You and your wife, Linda, cared for and nurtured Ellie

:47:24.:47:29.

for five sixths years. Yes. What was she like? Beautiful. Excuse me.

:47:30.:47:41.

Bubbly. A gorgeous little girl. Very brainy. Intelligent. And very

:47:42.:47:50.

loving. She was very clever. She was polite. She liked playing games. She

:47:51.:48:01.

had lots of friends at school. And the story is what Butler and her

:48:02.:48:07.

saying that she was rude and lazy are complete and holds -- order

:48:08.:48:10.

false lies. She was a gorgeous little girl. It is a great

:48:11.:48:15.

privilege, excuse me, to have been a grandparent. And you looked after

:48:16.:48:21.

her, you and Linda looked after her like she was your own daughter. Yes.

:48:22.:48:27.

The reason you had her in your care was because Butler had a conviction

:48:28.:48:33.

for assaulting her, for shaking her when she was six weeks old, which

:48:34.:48:38.

was later quashed, as we know. That is why you were caring for her. Yes.

:48:39.:48:43.

You fought to continue having custody of her when he and her

:48:44.:48:47.

daughter were trying to get custody back, when his conviction was

:48:48.:48:56.

quashed. Yes. From 2007 to 2012, were in court virtually every year

:48:57.:49:02.

at periods of time trying to keep hold of Ellie. Ellie did not want to

:49:03.:49:05.

go back to her parents. Her birth parents. Because she did not know

:49:06.:49:13.

them. At the times they should have got to know Ellie, at the family

:49:14.:49:18.

centre in Sutton, for two and a half years they never turned up to see

:49:19.:49:25.

her. And Butler was very violent. You knew that, did you? You knew

:49:26.:49:30.

what he was like? Yes. He was threatening to my wife and myself

:49:31.:49:34.

and other members of my family. Jenny used to be aggressive and

:49:35.:49:41.

threatening myself and my wife. If we were going to court for something

:49:42.:49:44.

was supposed to have been set, she would talk to my wife and say, if

:49:45.:49:49.

you've got anything to say to your solicitor, you run it through me and

:49:50.:49:55.

Ben before you talk to your solicitor, otherwise you will be

:49:56.:49:58.

looking over your shoulder for the rest of your lives. There were

:49:59.:50:03.

threatening you and trying to control you? Yes. When the judge

:50:04.:50:08.

handed custody back to Butler and your daughter, Jenny Gray, you said

:50:09.:50:14.

you could upload blood on your hands. Why did you say that? I had a

:50:15.:50:21.

premonition that Ellie would not be safe. Mrs Justice Hogg made a big

:50:22.:50:32.

mistake. I don't think she followed proper procedure of the law. She did

:50:33.:50:36.

not give the proper directions for the social workers, who were

:50:37.:50:42.

independent business people. They were independent, work for

:50:43.:50:46.

themselves social workers. Private social workers. They had not read

:50:47.:50:53.

any of the notes. They did not know any history. We have attempted to

:50:54.:50:59.

get a statement from Mrs Justice Hogg. We have not been able to yet.

:51:00.:51:03.

At the time she said Ben Butler was the victim of a miscarriage of

:51:04.:51:08.

justice. She exonerated him. She said he had not assaulted Ellie as a

:51:09.:51:14.

six-week old. Yes, she said that. But I don't think she took any

:51:15.:51:18.

notice of the medical evidence for the social workers, or the local

:51:19.:51:24.

authority children's department. They all knew that Ellie had been

:51:25.:51:30.

assaulted. She also issued this unpublished, onto yesterday, order,

:51:31.:51:36.

this unpublished order that all professional, educational, medical

:51:37.:51:39.

or social care bodies holding any files relating to Ali, must make a

:51:40.:51:44.

prominent reference to the fact that Ben Butler had been exonerated. She

:51:45.:51:48.

also went further than the appeal Court ruling, which had quashed his

:51:49.:51:52.

conviction. She said, look, he is exonerated. That meant it was very

:51:53.:51:58.

hard for you, for the headteacher, for the local authority social

:51:59.:52:00.

workers to try to intervene if you had wanted to? Yes, I did not know

:52:01.:52:07.

that exist until yesterday. How did you react when you found that there

:52:08.:52:11.

was that order? I think it is terrible. I think the laws should be

:52:12.:52:14.

radically changed. And judges should be made accountable either through a

:52:15.:52:23.

proper office -- procedure Ore Home Secretary. After all, they are human

:52:24.:52:27.

beings and they are not above the law. And wonder what you thought

:52:28.:52:33.

when you saw Ben Butler and your daughter on TV, as we saw in that

:52:34.:52:38.

clip, protesting their innocence, saying there had been a victim of a

:52:39.:52:42.

miscarriage of justice? I thought it was a complete and utter joke. After

:52:43.:52:50.

that clip was shown, he got hold of a chap called Max Clifford, a PR

:52:51.:52:55.

guru, who is now also inside. I think their idea was to milk the

:52:56.:52:58.

system for as much money as they could possibly get. It is an utter

:52:59.:53:10.

farce. We know what Butler did on that day that Ellie died. He

:53:11.:53:19.

inflicted awful, awful injuries. In a fit of rage, apparently. And then

:53:20.:53:22.

summoned your daughter home from work to help Ukhov -- her cover

:53:23.:53:29.

things up. Do you believe that your daughter genuinely believed Ellie

:53:30.:53:32.

had died in an accident, which is what his story was? Do I believe

:53:33.:53:40.

that Jenny believes? Yes. I don't believe she did believe she died in

:53:41.:53:44.

an accident. I think she knew what had happened. She knew what he was

:53:45.:53:50.

capable of. Because she had inflicted injuries herself several

:53:51.:53:56.

times through the loss of other children. Why would she cover up the

:53:57.:54:02.

murder of her daughter? I don't know. That is a question I cannot

:54:03.:54:09.

answer. I often sold search myself, and my wife soul searchers, asking

:54:10.:54:18.

why. When you have a child, your number one priority is always the

:54:19.:54:25.

child. Anybody. But it is a father, a mother, grandfather, grandmother,

:54:26.:54:29.

the child is the most important thing in this world, they are

:54:30.:54:33.

precious. It is a privilege to have a child could my eyes. If you have a

:54:34.:54:39.

child, you have got to look after that child completely and utterly.

:54:40.:54:44.

They are the priority of your life. Without it, well, many nasty things

:54:45.:54:52.

could happen, which have happened in the past years. I believe the social

:54:53.:54:57.

services, laws regarding them, have got to be brought into the 21st

:54:58.:55:02.

century. I also believe that the family courts system, as it is

:55:03.:55:05.

today, has got to be changed radically. Brought into the 21st

:55:06.:55:13.

century. You mean less secrecy? Less secrecy, yes. They have opened up a

:55:14.:55:19.

little bit. Open it completely. But on particular cases, keep the

:55:20.:55:26.

child's name anonymous, if that has got to be. The child has got to be

:55:27.:55:29.

protected. That is the most important thing. I don't think the

:55:30.:55:35.

establishment have learned, we have had Baby P, we have had ten murders

:55:36.:55:44.

in the last ten years of children, horrifically gone wrong, so many

:55:45.:55:48.

inadequacies with social services are a family courts. Somebody has

:55:49.:55:52.

got to stand up and make sure that no other child gets hurt like my

:55:53.:55:59.

granddaughter got hurt. And I think that I will make it my goal for the

:56:00.:56:07.

rest of my life to fight for any child to be saved. No child deserves

:56:08.:56:10.

to go through what Ellie went through, or any of the other

:56:11.:56:15.

children that have died. With July to see a public enquiry? Yes I

:56:16.:56:20.

would. Very much. -- would you like to see. Your wife, Linda, died in

:56:21.:56:25.

the first day of the trial. She has not been here to see justice, to see

:56:26.:56:31.

the man punished, to see your daughter punished. And I understand

:56:32.:56:37.

Jenny Gray didn't know that your wife had died, is that right, until

:56:38.:56:43.

yesterday? That is right. My wife, in the last few days, she asked to

:56:44.:56:47.

see the priest at the hospital, the Marsden in Sutton. She asked to

:56:48.:56:56.

speak to a policeman. A very kind police liaison officer. She stated

:56:57.:57:02.

she did not want Jenny to know that she had cancer. And she didn't want

:57:03.:57:07.

to know that she had died. That was her wish, because she said she

:57:08.:57:16.

doesn't deserve to know. We are showing our audiences picture of

:57:17.:57:19.

Linda now. She was clear she did not want her daughter to know? Al are

:57:20.:57:24.

no. She could never forgive her for what he had done to Ali. -- Ellie.

:57:25.:57:32.

If it is all right with you, I want to play a little bit of the 999 call

:57:33.:57:37.

played in court. This is the call that Jenny Gray and Butler made to

:57:38.:57:43.

the emergency services when they were pretending to try to save

:57:44.:57:44.

Ellie's life. Listen to me now, my daughter is not

:57:45.:57:58.

breathing properly. You need to calm down and stop shouting. I cannot

:57:59.:58:08.

hear you. What has happened? I need you to stop shouting because I

:58:09.:58:12.

cannot hear you. Tell me what to do, please! I don't know what is

:58:13.:58:21.

happening, my love. Brilliant. Keep doing that. You are doing a really

:58:22.:58:25.

good job. What do you think of that? I think

:58:26.:58:30.

it was all states. Like a play on a stage. -- all staged. All acted out.

:58:31.:58:38.

You have to be a particular kind of person to be able to act that out,

:58:39.:58:45.

haven't you? Yes, terrible. The judge described Ben Butler as self

:58:46.:58:48.

absorbed, ill tempered, domineering, a man who regarded his child and

:58:49.:58:55.

partner as trophies, having no role other than to fit in with his

:58:56.:58:59.

infantile and sentimentalised view of family life, with him as the

:59:00.:59:04.

patriarch whose every whim had to be catered for. How would you describe

:59:05.:59:15.

Ben Butler? Evil. Pure evil. He can... Just one nasty, horrible

:59:16.:59:19.

person, who is now taken off the streets. And hopefully made an

:59:20.:59:27.

example of. And maybe the police can catch other people who do this kind

:59:28.:59:34.

of thing. I know, finally, you do want to thank the police and all the

:59:35.:59:37.

people who have helped you? Yes. Excuse me. I would like to thank the

:59:38.:59:49.

homicide team who, through this three years, have supported my wife,

:59:50.:59:55.

my family at every stage of their commitment to this order. And I'm

:59:56.:00:03.

very grateful for their help and devotion of duty for what they have

:00:04.:00:09.

done. And most of all, they kept my family and I completely in touch at

:00:10.:00:14.

every stage where they could. I would also like to thank the Victim

:00:15.:00:19.

Support people for their support for my wife, myself, my family. Without

:00:20.:00:25.

either of them, I don't know if I would be here today.

:00:26.:00:29.

We have got some lovely messages from people listening to. Harry

:00:30.:00:35.

Tweets this. This is a moving tribute to Ali. This tweet from

:00:36.:00:43.

Jane, this is devastating. Another says, oh my goodness, it is so sad

:00:44.:00:48.

to hear Ellie Butler's grandfather. And John says, a public enquiry is a

:00:49.:00:52.

good idea and I'm ready sorry for your loss. I'm very grateful for

:00:53.:00:57.

everybody's support. Also my community where I live in

:00:58.:01:08.

Warrington. # raez Sorry. The people in my community have been absolutely

:01:09.:01:10.

fantastic. I cannot thank the police enough and

:01:11.:01:24.

the Victim Support. Some news, this is just reaching us

:01:25.:01:29.

here on the programme. It is to do with Rory McIlroy. Rory McIlroy says

:01:30.:01:37.

he will not be taking part in the Rio Olympics because of concerns

:01:38.:01:44.

over the Zika virus. Rory McIlroy says he won't be going to the Rio

:01:45.:01:49.

Games because of concerns over the Zika virus. It is time for the

:01:50.:01:52.

weather and here is Carol. We have got three zones, showers and

:01:53.:02:01.

sunshine across Northern Ireland and the same across Scotland. This

:02:02.:02:05.

weather front is introducing thicker cloud and rain. Muggy conditions to

:02:06.:02:08.

the south of that and the South East. And drier conditions across

:02:09.:02:12.

Northern England. Again, with bright or sunny skies. As we head through

:02:13.:02:17.

this evening and overnight, we are expecting some torrential thundery

:02:18.:02:22.

downpours. They could lead to localised flooding issues and you

:02:23.:02:26.

can find out more on your local radio station. You can see how they

:02:27.:02:29.

develop moving up the south-eastern quarter of the UK across Essex,

:02:30.:02:36.

Sussex and Kent. Away from that, we have got drier conditions and fewer

:02:37.:02:38.

showers, but it will be a muggy night. That leads us into the start

:02:39.:02:42.

of tomorrow. Once again, all those thunderstorms to start the day

:02:43.:02:46.

pushing away for a time. They will be replaced later on from the south

:02:47.:02:50.

later on as temperatures rise. Still the south-eastern quarter of the

:02:51.:02:52.

country that's likely to be affected. North of that, we are back

:02:53.:02:56.

into bright spells, sunshine and showers. Temperatures in the north

:02:57.:03:00.

up to 20 Celsius in Newcastle, but 24 Celsius in London.

:03:01.:03:06.

I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme

:03:07.:03:11.

It's the final push a day ahead of the crucial decision on the UK's

:03:12.:03:18.

place in Europe - the last arguments are being made

:03:19.:03:20.

The UK will be in the back of the queue. I think the American

:03:21.:03:27.

president is coming out with the same rubbish that David Cameron is

:03:28.:03:30.

coming out. Uncontrolled numbers coming in here, not only depress

:03:31.:03:35.

wages for working people. Nor do you control and address people's

:03:36.:03:37.

concerns about immigration with scare stories.

:03:38.:03:43.

After the vote tomorrow, then what The polls close at 10pm. That's your

:03:44.:03:48.

last chance to vote. The results start coming in at 2am. Final

:03:49.:03:54.

breakfast time. Set your alarm for 7am!

:03:55.:03:59.

Six-year-old Ellie Butler's grandfather tells us,

:04:00.:04:00.

in an exclusive interview, that the justice system

:04:01.:04:03.

failed his grand-daughter and judges need to be held accountable.

:04:04.:04:10.

I will make it my goal for the rest of my life to fight for any child to

:04:11.:04:17.

be saved because no child deserves to go through what Ellie went

:04:18.:04:20.

through or any of the other children that died in the last year.

:04:21.:04:27.

We will bring you more reaction to that interview before 11am.

:04:28.:04:29.

We'll be hearing from Sir Cliff Richard who's calling

:04:30.:04:32.

for a change to the law so that people accused of sexual offences

:04:33.:04:35.

have their identity protected until they are charged.

:04:36.:04:42.

The name never should be out there unless you have been charged and

:04:43.:04:49.

here I am 22 months and week later and no charge. I don't like the idea

:04:50.:04:54.

of being collateral damage and that's what I have been for 22

:04:55.:04:58.

months. Good morning from Paris. Northern

:04:59.:05:02.

Ireland fans are still recovering after their team was beaten last

:05:03.:05:05.

night, but made it through to the next round at the Euros. Coming up

:05:06.:05:10.

in the sport, we will have the latest on Rory McIlroy's decision on

:05:11.:05:14.

not to go to the Olympics because of the Zika virus.

:05:15.:05:18.

Joanna is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:05:19.:05:26.

It's the final day of campaigning before we get to decide

:05:27.:05:28.

whether we should stay or leave the European Union.

:05:29.:05:32.

Both sides of the debate are making their last-ditch

:05:33.:05:34.

Speaking this morning David Cameron says he doesn't believe

:05:35.:05:37.

there are any risks to the UK to staying in the EU.

:05:38.:05:40.

Meanwhile Leave campaigner Boris Johnson, who's on a whirlwind

:05:41.:05:42.

tour of England, says it's time for a "totally

:05:43.:05:44.

new relationship with our partners across the channel".

:05:45.:05:51.

The grandfather of Ellie Butler has told this programme

:05:52.:05:53.

there should be a public inquiry into the circumstances that led up

:05:54.:05:56.

Yesterday Ellie's father, Ben Butler, was found

:05:57.:05:59.

He inflicted catastrophic head injuries on his daughter

:06:00.:06:07.

at their home in south-west London in October 2013.

:06:08.:06:09.

She died less than a year after she was returned

:06:10.:06:12.

to her parents' care following a custody battle.

:06:13.:06:14.

A High Court judge sided with the couple despite objections

:06:15.:06:16.

In his first television interview, Neal Gray,

:06:17.:06:28.

Said he was worried that Ellie was in danger. I think Justice Hogg made

:06:29.:06:40.

Yeah, yeah, that's the name. Mrs Justice Hogg made a big mistake. I

:06:41.:06:43.

don't think she followed proper procedure of the law. She didn't

:06:44.:06:47.

give the proper direction from the social workers who were independent

:06:48.:06:51.

business people, you know, they were independent, they worked for

:06:52.:06:55.

themselves social workers. They were private social workers as opposed to

:06:56.:06:59.

the local authority. They weren't allowed to look at any history less

:07:00.:07:03.

than three months prior to them taking over.

:07:04.:07:06.

Festival-goers are being urged "not to set off" for Glastonbury due

:07:07.:07:09.

Organisers say current wet weather and ground conditions

:07:10.:07:12.

People have reported queuing for more than five hours to get on to

:07:13.:07:20.

the site. More than 100,000 people

:07:21.:07:23.

are expected to descend on Worthy Farm for

:07:24.:07:25.

the five-day event. I had a tweet from a friend who said

:07:26.:07:31.

it was carnage at Glastonbury! Do get in touch with us

:07:32.:07:37.

I hope he finds peace." Thank you for those.

:08:19.:08:22.

Thank you, Victoria. Good morning, we're going to bring you up-to-date

:08:23.:08:31.

with the Euros. The breaking news that you mentioned a moment ago,

:08:32.:08:37.

Victoria. The golfer Rory McIlroy announced he will withdraw with the

:08:38.:08:43.

Rishtion io Olympicsment McIlroy was in Paris to watch Northern Ireland

:08:44.:08:47.

play Germany, but he has decided into the to play in the Games

:08:48.:08:50.

because of concerns about the Zika virus. He is one of a number of

:08:51.:08:58.

high-profile golfers to pull out. Adam Scott and Vijay Singh are the

:08:59.:09:03.

others. He says, "After speaking with those closest to me. I have

:09:04.:09:07.

come to realise that my health and my family's health comes before

:09:08.:09:10.

anything else, even though the risk of infection from the Zika virus is

:09:11.:09:16.

low, it is a risk nonetheless and a risk I am unwilling to take. I trust

:09:17.:09:20.

the Irish people will understand my decision." Just to recap, that is

:09:21.:09:26.

Rory McIlroy and the announcement that he won't be going to Rio.

:09:27.:09:31.

Disappointing news for him, but he was probably quite a lot happier in

:09:32.:09:35.

France last night where he watched Northern Ireland play their way into

:09:36.:09:40.

the round of 16. They were beaten 1-0 by the world champions Germany,

:09:41.:09:46.

but a huge performance from their goalkeeper Michael McGovern kept the

:09:47.:09:49.

score more than respectable. After other results last night they are

:09:50.:09:54.

still in the competition! So a happy Northern Ireland camp. Not so for

:09:55.:09:57.

the England team, it seems. Today's back pages are full of stories about

:09:58.:10:01.

possible disquiet about the changes Roy Hodgson made to the team for the

:10:02.:10:06.

final group game. Olly Foster joins us now. Olly, is the backlash

:10:07.:10:12.

beginning, is it all starting to go wrong for Roy? Well, it went wrong a

:10:13.:10:18.

couple of nights ago. Good morning, Sally. A glorious morning here in

:10:19.:10:24.

Chantilly, that backfired the changes. You make six changes and

:10:25.:10:29.

Roy Hodgson was expected to win that match, but there was no discernible

:10:30.:10:34.

change in pattern or pace and tempo and certainly, dropping the captain

:10:35.:10:38.

Wayne Rooney, that was something that raised a lot of eyebrows

:10:39.:10:44.

against Slovakia and Jack Wilshere really didn't fill that hole and

:10:45.:10:48.

when Rooney came on things changed, but not quickly enough. So the

:10:49.:10:53.

permutations now is that England are now in limbo really. Knowing that

:10:54.:10:57.

they're going off to Nice on Monday, but who they face, well, we'll find

:10:58.:11:02.

out later. The players have been given time off today. Some have gone

:11:03.:11:06.

shopping in Paris. Some may attend race day behind me at the fantastic

:11:07.:11:13.

Chantilly racecourse, they are trying to work out what the best 11

:11:14.:11:18.

is. Just like the rest of us! Olly,

:11:19.:11:22.

thank you very much indeed. That's all for now. The breaking story this

:11:23.:11:28.

hour, which is the news that Rory McIlroy, the golfer has withdrawn

:11:29.:11:35.

from the Rio Games because of concerns over the Zika virus.

:11:36.:11:40.

STUDIO: It will be interesting to see if other athletes choose to

:11:41.:11:46.

follow his leadment

:11:47.:11:47.

Both sides i leadment n the EU referendum

:11:48.:11:59.

Both sides in the EU referendum debate are making their final

:12:00.:12:02.

pitches on the last day of campaigning.

:12:03.:12:03.

Putting the case to remain, David Cameron said that by staying

:12:04.:12:06.

in, Britain had the best of both worlds.

:12:07.:12:07.

I will decide our future in Europe through an in-out referendum on

:12:08.:12:16.

Thursday, 23rd June. The home you live in, your weekly

:12:17.:12:20.

shop, your monthly bills, these things are all at risk. Why are we

:12:21.:12:27.

sending ?10 billion a year net to Brussels some of which is spent on

:12:28.:12:31.

Spanish bull fighting. The real show tonight isn't in Brussels, but it is

:12:32.:12:34.

here in Westminster. That's down to... Overregulating. Air fairy.

:12:35.:12:41.

What matters is holiday pay... For the United Kingdom. Remain. Leave.

:12:42.:12:49.

After a great deal of heartache, I don't think there is anything else I

:12:50.:12:53.

can do. I will be advocating vote leave. If people vote to leave on

:12:54.:12:57.

the basis of immigration I'm afraid they'll find they will be in the

:12:58.:13:01.

same situation. What our judgment is, is a risk. The governor strayed

:13:02.:13:06.

now into the expression of what is a simple, personal prediction. I think

:13:07.:13:09.

it is appalling that the people who want to drag the United Kingdom out

:13:10.:13:14.

of the European Union are now trying to drag the Queen in... Louis and

:13:15.:13:23.

Hitler were trying to create a United States of Europe. We're

:13:24.:13:26.

losing our identity and we are suddenly just going to get swallowed

:13:27.:13:31.

up. I'm positive on the EU. The UK is going to be in the back of the

:13:32.:13:34.

queue. I think the American president is coming out with the

:13:35.:13:38.

same rubbish that David Cameron is coming out with. I am angry at the

:13:39.:13:42.

way the British people are being misled. Uncontrolled numbers coming

:13:43.:13:47.

in, not only depress wages for working people. With scare

:13:48.:13:56.

stories... You are no fisherman's friend. You are on the European

:13:57.:14:02.

Parliament fishing committee and you attended one out of 43 meetings.

:14:03.:14:09.

You're a fraud, Nigel. What Mr Geldof did was show his contempt for

:14:10.:14:13.

the men and women that have come here today.

:14:14.:14:17.

# One way or another I'm going to find you, I'm going to get you one

:14:18.:14:21.

way or another. # I'm going to... #

:14:22.:14:26.

I'm campaigning to remain in the European Union.

:14:27.:14:31.

This city wouldn't be what it is without immigrants. The question

:14:32.:14:35.

is... Immigrants built this city. Oh, you don't want to listen, right.

:14:36.:14:39.

People are going to bring this country forward in the future, but

:14:40.:14:44.

you're not. Anyway, have a leaflet. Thanks.

:14:45.:15:36.

So in just 21 hours the polls will be open and you will get to cast

:15:37.:16:08.

your vote. Then what happens? When do we get a result? What could

:16:09.:16:13.

follow in the coming hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades,

:16:14.:16:22.

lifetime? Norman Smith joins me. All of the big broadcasters are setting

:16:23.:16:26.

up their portable makeshift studios for what is going to be a global

:16:27.:16:33.

news story. A massive story not just here in Britain, but frankly, around

:16:34.:16:38.

the world. Let's look at the timetable from tomorrow night. Ten

:16:39.:16:44.

o'clock is when the polls close. If you have not voted by then, my

:16:45.:16:49.

friend, you are out of time. They will not be any exit polls for this

:16:50.:16:53.

referendum because the pollsters say they have nothing to base it on. At

:16:54.:16:59.

two o'clock we will get the result is beginning to come through. They

:17:00.:17:02.

will be announced by local councils first. Those will trick on through

:17:03.:17:08.

the night. At six o'clock, pundits, I think we'll be in a position where

:17:09.:17:12.

they can start to call this result, to suggest which way it may be

:17:13.:17:18.

shifting. You will probably have to wait until about 7:30am for the

:17:19.:17:23.

official result from Manchester town Hall, when we will know whether we

:17:24.:17:27.

have taken the momentous decision to leave the European Union or whether

:17:28.:17:32.

we are going to stay in. I guess one of the questions which is going to

:17:33.:17:35.

crop up straightaway is, what happens to the Prime Minister rock?

:17:36.:17:42.

-- Prime Minister? Both Boris Johnson and David Cameron have been

:17:43.:17:45.

clear he will carry on whatever the result. I will accept the verdict of

:17:46.:17:50.

the British people. If they vote to remain, we will remain in the

:17:51.:17:53.

European Union, the process of reform continues and we wake up on

:17:54.:17:56.

Friday knowing that investment and jobs and the dividend will come to

:17:57.:18:01.

our country. If we vote to leave, I will carry out that instruction from

:18:02.:18:05.

the British people. That is what I said at the general election, that

:18:06.:18:08.

is what was in our manifesto and that is what I will do. Whatever

:18:09.:18:13.

happens at the end of this, and I have said this to the Prime

:18:14.:18:19.

Minister, he has got to stay. The battalions of the argument are

:18:20.:18:22.

unquestionably ranged against people like me. We are per trade as crazy,

:18:23.:18:28.

cracked and the rest of it. I don't mind. I happen to think that I am

:18:29.:18:33.

right. It is a very difficult case to make. I have thought a lot about

:18:34.:18:39.

it for many years. Let's go through the different scenarios, depending

:18:40.:18:46.

what happens tomorrow morning. The first scenario, Mr Cameron bursts

:18:47.:18:50.

through the finishing tape, Remain win, the nation votes to stay in the

:18:51.:18:56.

European Union. What happens? A statement from Mr Cameron on the

:18:57.:19:00.

steps of Downing Street is likely pretty much as soon as we get the

:19:01.:19:04.

result. He will stress how the nation has spoken, the decision has

:19:05.:19:09.

been made, it is a once-in-a-lifetime generation. Then

:19:10.:19:11.

over the next few days and weeks, reshuffle may be. Will Mr Cameron

:19:12.:19:19.

seek a revenge reshuffle? Willingly seek to knife his treacherous

:19:20.:19:24.

cabinet vote will it be a reconciliation reshuffle? Will easy

:19:25.:19:27.

to bring in people like Boris Johnson? The other option runs

:19:28.:19:33.

towards a unity agenda. Will Mr Cameron bring forward policies which

:19:34.:19:37.

his party can rally around in the wake of this divisive contest?

:19:38.:19:42.

Perhaps he will call a controversial vote on Trident, which is party can

:19:43.:19:46.

unite around but it may embarrass Labour. The second scenario, what if

:19:47.:19:51.

Boris Johnson and the Brexiteer 's burst through the finishing tape

:19:52.:19:59.

first. What if we vote to leave? New leader would seem very likely

:20:00.:20:03.

despite Mr Cameron's protestations that he will stay. The most likely

:20:04.:20:06.

candidate, probably one Boris Johnson. But also they would have to

:20:07.:20:13.

be a new deal. We would have to begin negotiations with the rest of

:20:14.:20:16.

Europe because we would not longer be in the single market. We would

:20:17.:20:20.

have to work out what sort of a trading arrangement we are bound to

:20:21.:20:25.

have with the rest of Europe. Finally, new world because other EU

:20:26.:20:28.

countries may also decide, if Britain has left, we want out, too.

:20:29.:20:34.

It could lead to a total reshaping, even collapse of the European Union,

:20:35.:20:39.

a change in the nature of global relations. There is a third

:20:40.:20:44.

scenario. And that is a narrow, squeaky win for Mr Cameron. Both he

:20:45.:20:50.

and Boris Johnson are neck and neck at the finishing tape. What happens

:20:51.:20:58.

then? Plots galore. Expect Tory MPs to be manoeuvring, trying to ease Mr

:20:59.:21:02.

Cameron out, trying to push Boris Johnson into power. There is the

:21:03.:21:08.

danger of a zombie parliament because some of Mr Cameron's critics

:21:09.:21:12.

on the Tory benches may simply refuse to go along with any policy

:21:13.:21:17.

to our legislation he proposes, and parliament could be reduced to a

:21:18.:21:21.

zombie status unable to do anything. That might lead to a general

:21:22.:21:27.

election. Maybe Mr Cameron would decide enough is enough, I cannot go

:21:28.:21:32.

on like this, let's call a snap general election. If Boris 's

:21:33.:21:36.

leader, he may want his own mandate. He could demand a general election.

:21:37.:21:40.

We could see a general election before the end of the year. Tomorrow

:21:41.:21:46.

is obviously a momentous moment. But do not think the political upheaval

:21:47.:21:50.

and turmoil and change is necessarily going to end tomorrow

:21:51.:21:53.

night. Wow! General election by the end of

:21:54.:22:00.

the year. Oh, my word. Tomorrow is not the first time the British

:22:01.:22:04.

public have had the opportunity to decide whether we become -- we're

:22:05.:22:16.

part of the EU. Back then, the UK chose to remain. Throughout this

:22:17.:22:20.

campaign I have said, I think we have all said, that in the community

:22:21.:22:26.

or outside the community, Britain's future depends on our own efforts

:22:27.:22:31.

here, our own inventiveness, our skill, our technology and restraint.

:22:32.:22:37.

As always in the past but now as never before, Britain depends on the

:22:38.:22:41.

efforts we make in our trade and in our industry, and the contribution

:22:42.:22:48.

everyone of us to that effort. How many of those who voted 40 odd years

:22:49.:22:52.

ago would vote the same way this time around? Let's vote to Kevin

:22:53.:22:59.

Mulloy, who voted to stay in the EU. And June Bennett, who voted for

:23:00.:23:03.

Britain to leave in the referendum. Good morning. Kevin, it was Remain

:23:04.:23:11.

for you in 1975. What about now? It was a hard decision this time. I

:23:12.:23:15.

spent several weeks agonising over it. I took into account,

:23:16.:23:23.

sovereignty, EU immigration... I decided to remain. Jean, what about

:23:24.:23:30.

you? Tomorrow I will be voting to leave. When we originally voted, we

:23:31.:23:35.

voted to join, which is different to what it is now. How I felt then was,

:23:36.:23:42.

we were OK, we could do business across the world, there was no

:23:43.:23:45.

problem. Now there seems to be a lot of difficulties for the

:23:46.:23:52.

small-business people who make up to 90% of employers in the private

:23:53.:23:54.

sector, and they have horrendous problems. One instance is some

:23:55.:24:01.

people I know who supply chemicals for swimming pools. The small

:24:02.:24:08.

companies in England who would supply them can no longer afford to

:24:09.:24:18.

because they have two apply under regulations, which will cost them

:24:19.:24:21.

tens of thousands of pounds, which small businesses do not have. So

:24:22.:24:26.

they are either closing down going into insolvency, and there is just

:24:27.:24:29.

one company which now supplies, a large company based in Switzerland.

:24:30.:24:37.

The consequence is that the product is four times more expensive and the

:24:38.:24:41.

end product, the price has quadrupled. That cannot be right and

:24:42.:24:47.

that cannot be the only time this is happening. Kevan, do you think you

:24:48.:24:51.

made the right decision last time when you voted to remain?

:24:52.:25:00.

Definitely. No doubt about it. Since then, the Iron Curtain has come

:25:01.:25:07.

down. Access and into the EU nations has been achieved by Poland and a

:25:08.:25:11.

number of European -- eastern European countries. It is a more

:25:12.:25:15.

complicated situation. You get freedom of movement, which you did

:25:16.:25:19.

not originally have. It was quite an agonising choice. But in the end I

:25:20.:25:26.

looked at both campaigns, and by the way I am not supporting or

:25:27.:25:30.

denigrating either campaign, I looked at it and the final question

:25:31.:25:37.

I asked myself was, from the campaigns, which side, if any, is

:25:38.:25:41.

actually quoting other authorities and other sources? And which side,

:25:42.:25:45.

if any, is just quoting about itself and what it thinks? I came to the

:25:46.:25:51.

conclusion that on the Remain side there are facts and figures that

:25:52.:25:55.

have been put down, some of them are projections, admittedly. On the

:25:56.:26:07.

Remain side... The Leave side were not citing any authorities. There

:26:08.:26:10.

was not really anything that I could pin the tail on the donkey. There

:26:11.:26:15.

was no donkey to put in -- pin the tail on, put it that way. In the end

:26:16.:26:21.

I felt Remain was a safe bet. If we do not leave now, there is nothing

:26:22.:26:24.

to say we could not leave and five or ten years. We could have another

:26:25.:26:29.

referendum. If we do leave now, it is a mistake. There is no way we

:26:30.:26:34.

would get back the rebates, the opt out to that we have been granted.

:26:35.:26:40.

Thank you both very much. June Bennett who will vote tomorrow to

:26:41.:26:45.

leave the European Union, as she did in 1975. And Kevin Mulloy, who has

:26:46.:26:50.

already voted to remain in the EU, like he did in 75.

:26:51.:26:55.

Sir Cliff Richard says he may take legal action against South Yorkshire

:26:56.:26:58.

police and the BBC for the way they pursued and reported

:26:59.:27:01.

unfounded allegations against him of sexual abuse.

:27:02.:27:10.

He believes there must have been illegal collusion between the events

:27:11.:27:15.

which led to a police raid of his home being broadcast on BBC News.

:27:16.:27:17.

This must be an enormous relief? To get the news a couple of days ago

:27:18.:27:31.

telling me that it was good news from the CPS was just fantastic. It

:27:32.:27:36.

is very difficult for me to explain to people what it felt like for me

:27:37.:27:43.

to be an innocent. But having these vile accusations thrown at me. The

:27:44.:27:47.

wording is insufficient evidence to prosecute. The CPS, it is what they

:27:48.:27:53.

do. There are certain terminologies they have two use. In this case if

:27:54.:28:00.

they -- they never say there is no evidence. They just say insufficient

:28:01.:28:05.

evidence. Nothing on which we can prosecute. In a way I still feel

:28:06.:28:09.

tarnished. Insufficient suggests that maybe there is something there.

:28:10.:28:14.

I know there isn't. I have had to to years of traumatic emotional trauma

:28:15.:28:22.

to get over. Do you think the laws should be changed to protect the

:28:23.:28:25.

identity of those who are accused? The Levenson report, that is a

:28:26.:28:32.

guideline Fathi police should behave. It says, except in

:28:33.:28:36.

exceptional circumstances, people should never be named unless they

:28:37.:28:42.

are charged. In the case of people like myself or anybody that is not

:28:43.:28:50.

charged... The name should never be out there, unless you have been

:28:51.:28:54.

charged. And here I am, 22 months and a week later, no charge. I do

:28:55.:29:02.

not like the idea of being collateral damage. And that is what

:29:03.:29:07.

I have been for 22 months. You want to campaign for the Lord to be

:29:08.:29:12.

changed on those who are accused. Do you think those who accuse should

:29:13.:29:18.

have anonymity for life? I can understand protecting children. But

:29:19.:29:22.

my accusers are all men, grown-up men. Probably in their 40s and 50s.

:29:23.:29:26.

I don't see why they should be protected. What about the police and

:29:27.:29:31.

how you were treated? And what about the BBC? There must have been

:29:32.:29:35.

illegal collusion. I have never known, I don't think, investigations

:29:36.:29:42.

take place with lighting and cameras and special angles for the

:29:43.:29:46.

helicopter. It seemed ridiculous. I feel I have every right to sue for

:29:47.:29:53.

the gross invasion of my privacy. Has it changed the way you trust

:29:54.:29:59.

people? To a certain extent, yes. I am cagey having pictures taken with

:30:00.:30:03.

people. I have always had photographs taken with grandparents

:30:04.:30:06.

and their grandchildren. I have had my arms around the grandchildren. I

:30:07.:30:11.

am a family entertainer. That is what I do. That is one thing I'm

:30:12.:30:16.

going to have to try to get rid of. Cliff Richard. Still to come, Ellie

:30:17.:30:21.

Butler's grandfather tells us he will fight so that no other child

:30:22.:30:25.

has to suffer like his granddaughter. In the next 30

:30:26.:30:28.

minutes, we will talk about the control early's murderer, Ben

:30:29.:30:34.

Butler, exerted over his family. And the mystery of the missing

:30:35.:30:38.

children's author. Friends plead for her safe return.

:30:39.:30:44.

With the news, here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom.

:30:45.:30:49.

It's the final day of campaigning before we get to decide

:30:50.:30:54.

whether we should stay in or leave the European Union.

:30:55.:30:59.

Both sides of the debate are making their last-ditch

:31:00.:31:01.

Speaking this morning David Cameron says he doesn't believe

:31:02.:31:04.

there are any risks to the UK to staying in the EU.

:31:05.:31:07.

Meanwhile Leave campaigner, Boris Johnson, who's on a whirlwind

:31:08.:31:09.

tour of England, says it's time for a "totally

:31:10.:31:11.

new relationship with our partners across the channel".

:31:12.:31:14.

The grandfather of Ellie Butler has told this programme

:31:15.:31:16.

there should be a public inquiry into the circumstances that led up

:31:17.:31:19.

Yesterday Ellie's father, Ben Butler, was found

:31:20.:31:22.

He inflicted catastrophic head injuries on his daughter

:31:23.:31:29.

at their home in south-west London in October 2013.

:31:30.:31:32.

She died less than a year after she was returned

:31:33.:31:34.

to her parents' care following a custody battle.

:31:35.:31:36.

A High Court judge sided with the couple despite objections

:31:37.:31:39.

Ellie's grandfather, Neal Gray, told Victoria he was worried

:31:40.:31:46.

I just had a premonition that Ellie wouldn't be safe. And I think

:31:47.:32:00.

Justice Hogg made... Yeah, yeah, that's the name. I think Mrs Justice

:32:01.:32:06.

Hogg made a big mistake. I don't think she followed proper procedure

:32:07.:32:10.

of the law. She didn't give proper direction from the social workers

:32:11.:32:12.

who were independent business people, you know, they were

:32:13.:32:15.

independent they worked for themselves, social workers. Yeah,

:32:16.:32:19.

they were private social workers as opposed to the local authority. They

:32:20.:32:25.

hadn't read the notes or they weren't allowed to look at any

:32:26.:32:31.

history three months prior to them taking over.

:32:32.:32:33.

Rory McIlroy has pulled out of competing at this summer's

:32:34.:32:36.

Olympic Games in Rio over concerns about the Zika virus.

:32:37.:32:38.

The world number four golfer says although the risk of infection

:32:39.:32:41.

is considered low, it's not one he's prepared to take.

:32:42.:32:43.

In a statement Mcllroy says his and his family's health

Festival-goers are being urged "not to set off" for Glastonbury due

:32:47.:32:49.

Organisers said current wet weather and ground

:32:50.:32:52.

People have reported queuing for more than five hours

:32:53.:32:55.

More than 100,000 people are expected to descend on Worthy Farm

:32:56.:33:05.

A local MP tweeted to say he hasn't seen it this bad for years and Mr

:33:06.:33:13.

Write to festival organiser Michael Eavis.

:33:14.:33:15.

Our correspondent Fiona Lamdin has managed to get on site.

:33:16.:33:19.

What's it like? A couple of tents are slowly going up. These are the

:33:20.:33:24.

lucky people who have managed to get in. Yes, as you say, gridlock

:33:25.:33:30.

outside the festival. They have asked people not to travel if they

:33:31.:33:34.

come today and if you are live locally, you have been asked not to

:33:35.:33:38.

travel unless it is urgent. The rain, it is taking hours for people

:33:39.:33:41.

to park and these guys left Sheffield and you say it took you 16

:33:42.:33:45.

hours to get here. Tell us about your trip here. Well, we set off at

:33:46.:33:51.

six o'clock and we got outside festival at 10.30 and we didn't move

:33:52.:33:57.

this morning until 8am and that's how long it took. It was all because

:33:58.:34:06.

of traffic in car park. Yesterday I saw the car parks, they were like

:34:07.:34:10.

lakesment tell me what the car park was like when you got out this

:34:11.:34:13.

morning? It wasn't actually that bad. We were in the camper van

:34:14.:34:17.

fields because our friend who had to have a sleep because he no sleep for

:34:18.:34:22.

16 odd hours. We have come down in the camper van. The camper van

:34:23.:34:26.

fields aren't too badmed we are not sure what the car parks are like,

:34:27.:34:31.

but the camper van fields were bad. The people were bringing the trucks

:34:32.:34:36.

to bring all the cars in. OK, well you are the lucky ones that managed

:34:37.:34:40.

to get here. They may have queued for hours, but they have a fantastic

:34:41.:34:46.

spot of the Pyramid Stage. Well, that's good at least. I hope

:34:47.:34:48.

they have a good time! Join me for BBC

Nexts the mystery of the missing writer.

:36:04.:36:07.

Helen Bailey is a children's author who wrote the Electra Brown series.

:36:08.:36:10.

The 51-year-old disappeared from her home 11 weeks ago.

:36:11.:36:12.

She'd gone for a walk with her miniature dachshund Boris

:36:13.:36:14.

and had reportedly said she "needed a little time to herself".

:36:15.:36:19.

Police have ruled out foul play, but what happened

:36:20.:36:21.

Our reporter James Longman has been talking to those who knew her.

:36:22.:36:29.

Tell us more Helen Bailey missing since 11th April. People are

:36:30.:36:35.

wondering what happened to her because it peaked their interests

:36:36.:36:38.

because she left this note saying she needed some time to herself. Not

:36:39.:36:42.

just because she is a children's author, but because she left this

:36:43.:36:45.

particular note and people are wondering why she may have left a

:36:46.:36:48.

note and they are pointing to her blog. She blogs on bereavement. Her

:36:49.:36:55.

husband died five years ago and she writes this blog called Planet Grief

:36:56.:36:59.

and she has written about how much his death affected her. Her friends

:37:00.:37:03.

wondered if there was a resurgence of grief. After two and a bit months

:37:04.:37:07.

her friends are saying it is uncharacteristic of her to not have

:37:08.:37:11.

got in touch. The police have put out appeals. They have even asked

:37:12.:37:14.

football fans to get in touch because she was a big Arsenal

:37:15.:37:20.

supporter. She was a season ticket holder at Arsenal and she has been

:37:21.:37:24.

seen with Arsene Wenger she met him in 2012ment her friends put together

:37:25.:37:29.

a Facebook page. It is called Where Is Helen Bailey. Over 80,000 people

:37:30.:37:33.

have looked at that page. There are still a lot of unanswered questions

:37:34.:37:35.

as I've been finding out. It's a mystery that's

:37:36.:37:43.

left everyone baffled. A woman and her dog leave home one

:37:44.:37:45.

day and never come back. This is Royston in Hertfordshire

:37:46.:37:48.

and it's where Helen Bailey lives. She was last seen over two

months ago, but she hasn't Helen Bailey is a children's author

worries me, she would not do anything to hurt anybody,

definitely not, so that's why I think we're all very

worried about her. Helen, we send you all our very best

are still as confused as ever. The grandfather of Ellie Butler

:41:32.:41:44.

has told this programme there should be a public inquiry

:41:45.:41:46.

into the circumstances that led up Yesterday Ellie's father,

:41:47.:41:49.

Ben Butler, was jailed for at least He inflicted catastrophic head

:41:50.:42:06.

injuries on his daughter in October 2013.

:42:07.:42:09.

She died less than a year after she was returned to her parents' care

:42:10.:42:13.

following a custody battle. A High Court judge sided with the couple

:42:14.:42:17.

despite objections from the police and social services. Ellie's

:42:18.:42:23.

grandfather Neal Gray gave us his reaction to the sentence its handed

:42:24.:42:29.

down by the court in an exclusive TV interview. The sentence should be

:42:30.:42:36.

more severe. He should have had at least 40 years and no reinition and

:42:37.:42:41.

the same as the partner, Jennie Gray should have had at least 20 years

:42:42.:42:45.

because I think they're both culprits. They caused the death of

:42:46.:42:49.

Ellie and they covered it up. It is interesting you say and so

:42:50.:42:52.

should the partner, Jennie Gray, that's your daughter? It was my

:42:53.:43:00.

daughter. . I have disowned her. Through, because you don't think one

:43:01.:43:07.

of your own off spring could be possibly involved in a terrible

:43:08.:43:12.

tragic crime. Unfortunately, she was. And... Do you accept that she

:43:13.:43:22.

was under his control? That he was domineering, violent, abusive, and

:43:23.:43:27.

controlled her? I think yeah, I understand that he was violent and

:43:28.:43:33.

controlling, but I think she is also capable of being the same with him.

:43:34.:43:40.

So I would say it is 50/50. Right. You and your wife, Linda, cared for

:43:41.:43:46.

and nurtured Ellie for five of her six years... Yes. Tell us a little

:43:47.:43:50.

bit about Ellie. What was she like? Beautiful. Excuse me... Bubbly,

:43:51.:44:05.

gorgeous little girl, very brainy and intelligent, and very loving.

:44:06.:44:13.

She was very clever. She was polite. She liked playing games. She had

:44:14.:44:21.

lots of friends at her school. And the stories that Butler and her are

:44:22.:44:26.

saying that she was rude and lazy are complete and utter false lies.

:44:27.:44:30.

She was a gorgeous little girl and it was a great privilege, excuse me,

:44:31.:44:38.

to have been her grandparent. I wonder what you thought Mr Gray

:44:39.:44:41.

when you saw Ben Butler and your daughter on TV as we saw in that

:44:42.:44:47.

clip, protesting their innocence, saying that they had been a victim

:44:48.:44:50.

of a miscarriage of justice? I thought it was a complete and utter

:44:51.:44:58.

joke. Because after that clip was shown, he got hold of a chap called

:44:59.:45:03.

Max Clifford a PR guru who is now also inside and I think their idea

:45:04.:45:08.

was to milk the system for as much money as they could possibly get.

:45:09.:45:09.

Right. It is an utter farce. Do you believe your daughter

:45:10.:45:22.

genuinely believed Ellie had died in an accident, which is what his story

:45:23.:45:29.

was? I don't think she did believe she died in an accident. I think she

:45:30.:45:36.

knew what had happened. She knew what he was capable of. She had

:45:37.:45:41.

inflicted injuries herself several times. Through the loss of other

:45:42.:45:49.

children. Why would she cover up the murder of her daughter by her

:45:50.:45:55.

partner? I don't know. That is a question I cannot answer. I often

:45:56.:46:02.

sold search myself, and my wife used -- my wife used to sold search,

:46:03.:46:08.

asking why. When you have a child your number one priority is always

:46:09.:46:14.

the child. For anybody. Whether it is a father, a mother, grandfather,

:46:15.:46:19.

grandmother, the child is the most important thing in this world. They

:46:20.:46:24.

are precious. It is a privilege to have a child in my eyes. If you have

:46:25.:46:33.

a child you have to look after that child completely and utterly.

:46:34.:46:40.

Without it, many nasty things would happen, which have happened in the

:46:41.:46:45.

past years. I believe the social services laws have got to be brought

:46:46.:46:51.

into the 21st century. I also believe that the family court system

:46:52.:46:55.

as it is today, has got to be changed radically and brought into

:46:56.:47:02.

the 21st century. Less secrecy? Less secrecy, yes. Open it completely.

:47:03.:47:10.

But in particular cases, keep the child's name anonymous, if that has

:47:11.:47:19.

got to be. The child has got to be kept number one. That is the most

:47:20.:47:25.

important thing. I don't think the establishment has learned. We have

:47:26.:47:29.

heard Baby P, we have that victorious Colombia -- Victoria Klim

:47:30.:47:37.

be. So many inadequacies of the social services or the family

:47:38.:47:41.

courts. Somebody has got to stand up and make sure that no other child,

:47:42.:47:48.

possibly, doesn't get hurt like my grand daughter got hurt. Neal Gray.

:47:49.:47:55.

Let me read some of your messages. And says she has just seen the

:47:56.:48:01.

grandfather and what a brave, wonderful person he is. Somebody

:48:02.:48:04.

must be responsible for this terrible tragedy. We must have a

:48:05.:48:09.

public enquiry. The judge should be held in Cannes -- accountable. Kevin

:48:10.:48:13.

is a serving police officer. Seeing the emotions has reduced him to

:48:14.:48:19.

tears, and that is not easily done. Alison found it absolutely

:48:20.:48:24.

heartbreaking. I hope Ellie's grandfather finds peace. There are

:48:25.:48:29.

so many of these. Jules says, Neal Gray, my heart is broken for you.

:48:30.:48:32.

Let's talk to Claire Throssell whose two children were murdered

:48:33.:48:35.

in a house fire started deliberately by her abusive ex-husband.

:48:36.:48:37.

Emma Williamson is an expert in coercive control

:48:38.:48:43.

Peter Gregg is from The Children's Society.

:48:44.:48:56.

The reason we have got you together is to talk particularly about the

:48:57.:49:03.

control that Ben Butler, the father of Ellie, the partner of Jenny Gray,

:49:04.:49:15.

exerted over his family. Emma, I think it would be helpful to

:49:16.:49:15.

describe coercive control. Good morning. Can I just start by

:49:16.:49:18.

offering my condolences to Ellie's family, her grandfather in

:49:19.:49:24.

particular. This is a horrific case. In terms of coercive control, what

:49:25.:49:28.

we know from decades of research is that when we have spoken to victims

:49:29.:49:34.

of domestic violence, women in particular, coercive control those

:49:35.:49:38.

actually cannot see. If you have a physical assault and you have a

:49:39.:49:42.

bruise, other people can see it but -- cannot see it but you can see it

:49:43.:49:48.

yourself. Coercive control is about manipulating everyday situations. It

:49:49.:49:52.

is about controlling her somebody reacts to a given situation. People

:49:53.:49:57.

talk about walking on eggshells. They talk about having to respond

:49:58.:50:00.

and reacted to their partner in order to keep some control, but

:50:01.:50:06.

ultimately their abusive partner always has that control. There were

:50:07.:50:10.

so many horrible texts Butler sent to his partner, and notes. One was,

:50:11.:50:18.

just watch your mouth. Your mouth is the trigger for me. Yes. I think we

:50:19.:50:26.

could give many examples from research we have been doing with the

:50:27.:50:29.

victims of domestic abuse around coercive control. At some points you

:50:30.:50:35.

do not necessarily need to have a direct threat. There is not a direct

:50:36.:50:41.

threat to kill. That individual understands what will happen and

:50:42.:50:45.

that they are abdicating responsibility. The blame is put

:50:46.:50:48.

onto the victim. In terms of the children in particular in this case,

:50:49.:50:54.

there was an expectation that she would actually abused the children

:50:55.:50:57.

on his behalf. That was being manipulated and controlled by him.

:50:58.:51:04.

Cler, you have experienced this kind of control. I wonder if you would

:51:05.:51:07.

feel comfortable in telling our audience? Yes. My ex-husband was

:51:08.:51:15.

very controlling. He would contact me many, many times in a day. Up to

:51:16.:51:20.

16, 17 phone calls a day wanting to know where we were, what we were

:51:21.:51:25.

doing. If I took the children out for the day, he would punish me when

:51:26.:51:29.

he came for home from work. He would put us all down, destroy our

:51:30.:51:35.

self-confidence. In the end you just look in the mirror and you do not

:51:36.:51:40.

recognise yourself any more. It is very hard to break that cycle. The

:51:41.:51:50.

boys showed so much courage to do that. In what way? They used to

:51:51.:51:58.

stick up for me. They used to say, don't speak to my mum like that. And

:51:59.:52:02.

I realised that I had to take them out of that. Children are like

:52:03.:52:07.

rainbows they absorbed the light and reflected back. I did not want my

:52:08.:52:14.

children reflecting that behaviour back to anybody else. They knew it

:52:15.:52:20.

was wrong. Like you say, they walk around on eggshells. They never knew

:52:21.:52:26.

what mood he would be in. Again, I got abusive messages, abusive texts.

:52:27.:52:31.

It was a pattern of behaviour. It never seems to break until you get

:52:32.:52:37.

the courage to do it yourself. Peter, what is the children's

:52:38.:52:41.

Society review of the Ellie Butler case? A tragic and horrific story.

:52:42.:52:47.

Listening to Ellie's grandfather makes it absolutely clear that at

:52:48.:52:51.

the heart of this is Ellie, a young girl who was not being listened to.

:52:52.:52:56.

We work with young people facing neglect, abuse and other things

:52:57.:53:01.

going on in their lives. Too often. Nobody spends the time to ask them

:53:02.:53:06.

questions about what is going on in their lives. The serious case review

:53:07.:53:09.

in this instance has shown that time and time again opportunities were

:53:10.:53:13.

missed to listen to what Ellie would have had to say, and potentially

:53:14.:53:20.

avoided her tragic outcome. But in this particular case, as we now

:53:21.:53:26.

know, Mrs Justice Hogg, a judge at the family court division, had

:53:27.:53:33.

exonerated Ben Butler and effectively said, on all the local

:53:34.:53:37.

authority files, social workers, police, health etc, it should be

:53:38.:53:40.

prominent that Ben Butler had been exonerated. And private social

:53:41.:53:48.

workers were involved. It excluded Local Authority workers from being

:53:49.:53:52.

able to intervene. That is what the serious case review concluded. It

:53:53.:53:58.

does. The many agencies that did want to stand up early, they were

:53:59.:54:02.

not able to have that voice. The other thing the case review makes

:54:03.:54:06.

clear is that time and time again opportunities were missed to listen

:54:07.:54:10.

to Ellie in an independent way, in a Safeway, where parents were not

:54:11.:54:14.

there, where they could talk to her on her own. They were missed by the

:54:15.:54:19.

GP and on other occasions. If we can take anything from this sad case is

:54:20.:54:24.

-- it is that in these instances we have to listen to the voices of

:54:25.:54:28.

children. We have to trust what they are saying and respond. We have to

:54:29.:54:34.

put their welfare first. Emma, if one was being coercively controlled,

:54:35.:54:38.

how would you know at the time? That is Raly difficult. I think

:54:39.:54:44.

absolutely one of the saddest things about this case is that Ellie was

:54:45.:54:49.

not listened to, and neither were her grandparents. That would have

:54:50.:54:54.

made a massive difference in this case. That happens throughout

:54:55.:55:02.

contact cases. I also think front hand foremost in this case is not

:55:03.:55:06.

necessarily Ellie, but a perpetrator who within the domestic violence

:55:07.:55:11.

situation was coercively controlling his partner but also managed to

:55:12.:55:14.

control and manipulate everybody else. This is one case where perhaps

:55:15.:55:19.

the Local Authority got it right. They are often lambast -- lambasted

:55:20.:55:25.

for getting things wrong. But they said this person was not fit to have

:55:26.:55:30.

a child in his care. That caution and control does not stop at the

:55:31.:55:34.

front door. It affects everybody else trying to take action and those

:55:35.:55:39.

are brought into it. They think he is charming, they think he is a good

:55:40.:55:44.

enough bad. What is ready important is that when we get to the contact

:55:45.:55:49.

situation, abusive parents, most likely fathers, are seen as being

:55:50.:55:53.

good enough parents. There is an assumption of a 50-50 split. What we

:55:54.:55:59.

have shown time and time again is that is not appropriate if we want

:56:00.:56:03.

to put the child first. Cler, I wonder when a partner is being

:56:04.:56:10.

physically abusive, emotionally abusive, but they are manipulating

:56:11.:56:13.

the outside world, putting on this charming front, how do you, as the

:56:14.:56:20.

woman in the middle of that, let the world know something is not right?

:56:21.:56:25.

It is very difficult. You are walking a tightrope. You are trying

:56:26.:56:31.

to protect the children. And like they say, he is totally fooled -- he

:56:32.:56:39.

has totally fooled social services. He was difficult, he was aggressive,

:56:40.:56:43.

and I warned them about their behaviour -- his behaviour. He

:56:44.:56:47.

threatened to commit suicide in June. I was not listened to and the

:56:48.:56:51.

boys were not listened to because he presented a fund. But there can only

:56:52.:57:00.

keep it up for so long. And then it goes. But by then it is too late.

:57:01.:57:04.

Thank you all very much for coming on the programme. In the Williamson,

:57:05.:57:13.

Peter Gregg and Clare. -- Ehmer. Some more comments from you. So many

:57:14.:57:19.

regarding the interview with Neal Gray. Karen found heartbreaking to

:57:20.:57:23.

watch. I wonder how the authorities can get it so wrong. I hope Ellie's

:57:24.:57:29.

grandad gets the public enquiry to hold those people accountable. This

:57:30.:57:34.

news from Germany. Investigators in Germany say if former nurse may have

:57:35.:57:38.

killed dozens of patients by injecting them with heart

:57:39.:57:44.

medication. The man was jailed last year from killing two people and

:57:45.:57:49.

attempting to murder two others, but a court has ordered the exhumation

:57:50.:57:53.

of 99 former patients at the hospital where he worked and have

:57:54.:57:58.

found traces of this heart drug in 27 of the bodies. This from Germany.

:57:59.:58:04.

Investigators say a former nurse may have killed dozens of his patients

:58:05.:58:08.

by injecting them with heart medication. This after the court

:58:09.:58:17.

ordered the exclamation of patients. They found traces of the drug in 27

:58:18.:58:23.

of the bodies. More on that coming up at 11. Thank you for your time.

:58:24.:58:25.

Back tomorrow at nine. Goodbye. Britain's best athletes

:58:26.:58:37.

head to Birmingham
