US officials have blamed Russian warplanes for the deadly attack

on an aid convoy in Syria which destroyed 18 lorries

packed with supplies and killed at least 20 people.

correspondent in Moscow. Steve there had been hopes of

co-operation between America and Russia if the ceasefire had

according to plan. What is the expectation on where all of this

goes now? Well, I think there is pessimism about future co-operation.

Certainly the Russians are furiously denying any involvement in that

attack on the UN aid convoy. The spokesperson for the Russian Foreign

Ministry said that Russia had nothing to do with that situation,

that there were no facts to prove otherwise. Earlier the Russian

Foreign Minister in New York giving an interview to Russian state

television claimed there were no Russian planes in the area at the

time of the attack and no Syrian planes in the area as well. Let me

give you a flavour of what the Russian papers are saying about the

situation. This is the Government paper. And it says the rebels knew

about the convoy suggesting it was the Syrian rebels who were

responsible for the attack. And it says it is a strange coincidence

that the US State Department has accused Russian pilots of having

something to do with the attack so soon after it was the planes of the

US-led coalition who bombed the Syrian army on Saturday. This is

another very pro-Kremlin paper. It has a similar message and it claims

that the Syrian rebels were responsible for the attack. Either

because they decided to escalate the situation by attacking the convoy

the paper says, or because they they received orders from America to do

so. Now, contrast that, the very pro-Kremlin papers with another

paper. It is traditionally quite critical of the Kremlin. On its

front page today it said, "Assad bombed the ceasefire in Syria."

Saying that the Syrian Government forces were responsible for

targeting the convoy and inside the paper says this was a barbaric

attack, the explanation that comes to mind the article says is that

this was a revenge attack for the bombing of Syrian forces by that

US-led coalition on Saturday and it concludes by saying that the

consequence of all of this is that diplomacy is practically powerless

now in Syria. Thank you very much, Steve.

Chris Ashton has been banned from rugby union for biting.

Well it's going to be another disappointing period

on the sidelines for Saracens rugby union star Chris Ashton.

He's been banned as you say for biting Northampton's Alex Waller

in a ruck in their Premiership win last weekend.

It means he sees his chances of playing in England's Autumn

internationals go out of the window and at the age of 29,

if his Six Nations chances for next year go too.

He may never earn a 40th cap for Eddie Jones side.

Interestingly the Premiership's disciplinary panel had a minimum

suspension of 12 weeks for the offence with the extra

week for Ashton given as it was "aggravated

And that was missing the Six Nations for another offence?

Well, for those of use who have seen Chris Ashton play rugby he isn't

overly aggressive in normal play but over his career he's been

at the centre of a number of violent flash points, I remember

he was cited once for pulling a player off the field by his hair -

and he missed 10 weeks of last season for an eye gouging charge -

that meant he lost his place in the Six Nations winning squad

earlier this year and wasn't recalled for the victorious tour

He's always said being back in an England shirt was his complete

focus but he really hasn't been helping himself of late.

What's England's unbeaten record now?

Rather incredibly, England haven't lost a competitive qualifier

since November 2002 - they only needed a point

against Belgium last night to guaranteed top spot

in their group, and it wasn't really a classic until some good work

from Karen Carney led to Nikita Parris's opener

and it was Carney who became goalscorer for the second.

Victory means England and now unbeaten in their last seven matches

Scotland have also qualified for Euro 2017 -

they rounded off their qualifying campaign with an impressive 2-1

Northern Ireland unfortunately didn't make it.

He says they are making progress, but the use of restraint varies

I think restraint is an incredibly important index of how well

we are humanising and ethicising, professionalising, the way we look

after people on inpatient units in particular.

So, for those trusts where they're not changing in a positive way,

or worse still, where things are still becoming more negative,

they really need to take note of this.

These are real human rights and ethical issues that they should

But for those trusts where they're coming back

with zero facedown restraint, for example my own trust,

Others should also take note of Jane, who believes the biggest

single impact of being restrained was, she stopped talking

to the people she had hoped would help her.

is to get out of there as soon as you can, and you will do whatever

He was in our film there and campaigned for a change

in government guidelines on restraining mental health patients.

Paul Farmer is from the mental health charity Mind.

Their initial research prompted Norman Lamb to raise it as an issue

And Sarah - not her real name - was sectioned and says

she was restrained, face down, six times in a mental health hospital.

She wants to remain anonymous because of what she sees

Sarah, our report gave a pretty good impression of how it must feel to be

restrained. It's happened to you six times, so tell us how you felt? I

felt like I was being ambushed by kidnappers, I suppose. It was

completely out of the blue, it was completely extraordinary, I've never

experienced anything like it before or since. One thing I think the VT

did not show was that it is six people, six people who turn up, one

for each limb, one for the head, and one to monitor over all of it.

They're chatting to each other, they're laughing, they're

coordinating. They would turn around with their blue latex gloves, they

would all move at the same time, I would be manoeuvred facedown onto my

bed, one person would be kneeling on each leg, and that would press into

the metal at the end of the bed. One person holding each arm down, one

person for the head, one person over the top and then they would yank

down my trousers on one side and pull down my underwear. There would

be an anti-psychotic swab and they would stick a needle in, and then

they would do the same on the other side, pull down my trousers, jab me

with the needle, and then at a signal, they would all let go as

one, and they would be clamouring off the bed, and I would be lying

there facedown in dirty sheets with my bed pulled out from the wall. And

I would have just been in my bed space minding my own business. So

it's horrifying, it's terrifying, and I think anyone who was feeling

pretty happy and chirpy and strong would be shocked by that. But for

me, I was very vulnerable. I suppose I collapsed mentally and I'd gone in

there for help and refuge and asylum, and instead, what I got was

absolutely relies in the most toxic way possible. I never knew when they

were going to turn up. It would be again and again and again, out of

the blue, just to administer medication. There was never anyone

who warned me, never anyone spoke to me, never once did someone say, we

think is what's wrong with you, these are some medication options,

what do you think? Not once was I offered medication in advance. I

would look up and there would -- and there they would be. One time I was

in a meeting with my independent mental health advocate. She asked me

to go and get a letter, I went to my bed space, to look for it, I heard a

noise and turned around and there they were, mob handed, and they did

that same thing to me again. Your flipped upside down, all dignity and

humanity stripped, treated like an animal, forcing you to go to places

you had never been before. I'd never shown any aggression or violence or

resistance. I'm acquired, middle-aged, middle-class woman! It

was just horrifying! Norman, that happened to Sarah in 2011,

repeatedly over the course of that year. Because of cases like that,

two years ago, you introduced guidelines - have the gene and

quickly ignored? Well, in many places, that's what it feels like.

It was this man who started it all off. He did a survey which showed

the extent of the restraint. I was horrified by what I saw so I brought

people into the department, including people who had suffered

restraint, and it's harrowing to hear these stories. And this is in

the hands of the state. This is people who go into the care of the

state and are suffering abuse and assault effectively. And of course,

there will be many people in those settings who suffered abuse at some

stage in their life, and so for them, being assaulted in this way,

that's how it feels like, is a real trauma which can lead to

post-traumatic stress and so forth. It is a human rights issue. And

here's the thing - we know from progressive practitioners like Tim

Kendall, who thankfully, as national clinical director, hopefully can

drive change, they've shown it's possible. He's ended facedown

restraint, significantly reduced other restraint. So there is no

excuse really not to treat this as a top priority. Because if you lose

the trust of the people caring for you, you can't have therapeutic

recovery. It's impossible. It's just force and containment. Paul,

listening to Sarah here with us and Jane in our report, it seems that

what happened to them came out of the blue. You would imagine that any

restraint is going to be happening, it's in response to somebody who is

behaving in a way that the people looking after them feel they cannot

handle it - what's your explanation for the sort of cases that we're

hearing and why the restraint is used? Well, it's hard to come up

with any possible human explanation for why this should take place. As

you've already heard from Sarah, when restraint is being used on

people who are not threatening or violent towards staff in anyway,

then you have to ask the question about, what is the culture in

particular ward? And is it common? Well, I think what the really

helpful information tells us today, we've just started to look at it and

understand it, who is that it's far too common in far too many places.

But it's also very erratic. There's clearly some parts of the country

where trusts have really taken the new guidelines on board and taken it

seriously, and we've seen significant reductions. And other

parts of the country where there has been very little change or indeed

increasing use of restraint. We need to understand what's going on in

those particular trusts, to understand why restraint is in some

cases being used more. It might be because it is being reported better.

But we need to understand to what extent some of the cultural issues

are being addressed. We're talking about people who might be at their

most vulnerable. You only really go into a mental health hospital now

when you're really ill. So your very vulnerable. It's so important that

people are treated humanely and in a dignified way. There's also a huge

impact on staff, who often have not been trained adequately. There is no

accreditation of training, which is a massive issue. So we do not know

the quality of much of the training. And a lot of staff end up injured at

work. In places where they have transformed the culture, they find

they end up with massive reductions in sickness absence of staff cars

they are safer. So everyone's interests, this has to change. You

wanted to come back in? I think I was just vigorously agreeing! It

creates a toxic work culture. Because the six people who would

come in and do the restraint on me, three of them were a rapid response

squad who used to look in the corridors, waiting to be called. But

the three other staff would be occupational therapists and nurses

who were working on the ward in any case. And they were just talking to

each other. So it was very much them and us. There was no possibility of

developing a therapeutic relationship. This has been so

entrenched in the system, may be something stronger than guidance is

needed? I think it needs to become what they call in the Health Service

a never event, something that should never happen. But how do you make

that happen? The guidance came in two years ago and the numbers have

gone up - does it need something stronger? I think what we've seen in

terms of the response to the guidance is clearly not enough. So

there needs to be a much firmer direction given nationally, that

this is something that can't be tolerated. I understand that we're

sometimes dealing with some highly context individuals who are going

through their own real anxieties, but we have to understand that if

you can take action to avoid situations developing, where people

become anxious and stressed... And Sarah's case, it was to apply

medication, but often it is when someone gets acutely distressed and

anxious and then they come in to restrain them. And there are clear

strategies which can be used to avoid these strategies happening in

the first place. There is an absolute imperative to do the

training. But does a message need to go out first of all, Paul, that it

just will not be tolerated? It's not just guidance? I think three things

need to happen. First of all we should not have to rely on Freedom

of Information requests to get this information, it should be routinely

and transparently reported by every trust. Secondly I think there needs

to be a very strong message that the use of facedown restraint in

particular really should not be tolerated. Some people have lost

their lives as a result of this type of restraint. And thirdly, I think

as Tim said on your peace, this is a litmus test for the way in which we

are treating people with mental health problems.

This is one of those indicators we need to keep a close eye on. Sair

ration you went into hospital for treatment because you were in a

desperate place and you needed help. This happened over a year... I was

in hospital over the course of a few weeks. But over the course of the

year, in that period of 2011 it happened six times, when you ended

the treatment, did you feel that you were in a better place than you had

been previously? No, I was in a much worse place. I had gone in there

poorly and extremely vulnerable and I came out far worse. I came out

with a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder which is what

soldiers get in the battle feel and that persisted. It had, had I

received good care and treatment I would have been back in work within

months. As it is, five years later, the post-traumatic stress disorder

has terrorised and brutalised my life and I'm further away from the

jobs market than ever. The measure that staff used to get their way

rather than using persuasion and working with me and building

therapeutic relationships, that's had a lasting impact. Into how

disastrous is that at the hands of the State? Have you had good

treatment since? No, I would describe it as a combination of

brutalisation followed by neglect. Have you sought treatment? I have.

Are you fearful of what happened to you? I have a letter from Norman

Lamb after my MP appealed to him when he was minister in Government,

to try and get treatment because I was sort of pushed around from

pillar to post. From assessment to assessment. There are so many gaps

in the mental health system. I have only just now started treatment for

the post-traumatic stress disorder and that's five years later, but in

the preceding five years I have been sort of deemed a success case

because I have been stable on medication and welfare benefits, but

that's just being a half life, there has been no attempt to try and help

me get back on my feet. I just have been trying and trying and trying,

every which way, you know, to the extent of seeing my counsellor and

going to see my MP and I got a letter from Norman Lamb, every way

that I could. We know the evidence is there that we can do better. This

is the outrageous thing, but people suffering mental ill-health

experience discrimination. They don't get the same access to

treatment as other people do and it is the way money is allocated across

the system. They don't have the same right to get treatment on a timely

basis and so often the inpatient facilities are full to over flowing,

under enormous pressure, it is a neglected area and there is a moral

imperative as well as an enormous economic case for change. And this

is something you have been talking about? Constantly. Lots of people

getting in touch as they always do when we talk about these issues.

Nigel says, "Restraint is sometimes necessary." Jay says, "The problem

is no one cares for people who are unwell in the head. They close the

outpatients and you can't get a community psychiatric nurse." Keeli

on Facebook, "I think people need to realise it is taught to be used as a

last resort and actually saves some people's lives for example people

who are determined to kill themselves or others. If someone is

about to take their own life or cause damage to somebody else,

intervention is necessary, but in so many cases, it is not necessary. In

so many cases it is used as a first resort and that's the problem. Thank

you very much, Sarah and Paul and Norman, thank you for coming. Do let

us know your thoughts on that as well.

New research shows it's increasingly common.

well, there are around 348,000 party members who will get a say. And as

well as them, we've got 129,000 so-called registered supporters.

Now, they are the sort of people who are not full party members, but they

want to take part in the contest so they have to pay a fee of 25 quid.

Last time they only had to pay three quid and they backed Jeremy Corbyn.

And lastly, we've got 168,000 affiliated supporters. Now they are

basically trade unionists who have signed up to take part in the

contest. That's 640,000 people, that's more than the entire

population of Luxembourg! But some people have been told they can't

vote so there has been a cull of a number of supporters and members who

are thought to have backed other parties in the past and there are

also a number of people who haven't still received ballot papers and I

know Joanna, you will be talking to some of those shortly. But the

striking thing, it seems to me, about this contest, it is not really

about the policies, the differences politically between Jeremy Corbyn

and Owen Smith. It is about the personalities in particular, the

personality of Jeremy Corbyn, whether you're for him or against

him. Because really politically, there is not much between Owen Smith

and Jeremy Corbyn. They both want to end austerity. They both want to

spend hundreds of billions on trying to revitalise the economy and

listening to a statement that Owen Smith put out last night, he sounded

almost as if he was conceding defeat. He says, "I'm proud I

brought a positive programme for a future Labour Government. I will

continue to make the arguments and do all I can to see us back if

Government. Jeremy Corbyn meanwhile still enjoying massive rallies. At

one of his last rallies, he perhaps announced his most popular policy

yet, to nationalise the Great British Bake Off!

I also want to say thank you to everyone that's here today and all

the great banners that there are here today and I'm really taken by

the one nationalise Bake Off! LAUGHTER

I think the fate of Bake Off is what happens when the BBC was allowed to

contract out its programme making somewhere else and the public lost

ownership of Bake Off. Shall we get it back? Yes! There, we have it,

bring Mel and Sue back into public ownership. That's the policy to win

people around. It sounds good! As Norman was saying, with over two

hours or so to go until the polls close, some of the people who had

expect to be able to vote in the poll have not had their ballot

papers. Joining is on the line

are Cristiano Sabiu from Scotland who is currently studying in Korea

and Connor French and Scott Berry You didn't get ballot papers, why

not? What happened? I have no idea. I have been a member, a full member

of the party since February. I had to sign as a registered supporter

because I became a member after January which was unfortunate. I

thought well it is worth the money to have my say in the election and I

still haven't received a ballot paper. What's your situation been?

Well, I tried to join at the end of July, there was a stringent two days

where new members could join up and pay ?25 and have a vote in the

leadership election. I thought everything was fine. There was one

issue with locating or finding me on the electoral register which I have

an e-mail confirming that was true, that was found and then no news,

nothing. No ballot until I called a few days ago and I was informed that

they could now not find me or locate me in the electoral register and

there was really nothing I could do about it. So that was very

frustrating. So you paid ?25 to be able to vote and you can't vote. How

do you feel about that? Like I said, it is very frustrating. It seems

almost, there are only so many members of the party and you are

affiliated members. Surely they can sort through and help us. I mean,

we're part of the same party. We want almost exactly the same goals.

You would think they would be working tirelessly to make sure

everyone is involved in the process and that clearly didn't happen in

this case. If you could have been able to vote, who would you have

voted for? I was very much supporting Jeremy Corbyn and Diane

Abbott's position. Conor, who would you have voted for? The same for me,

Jeremy Corbyn, definitely. Do you want your money back? Yes. Yes. I

will be doing everything I can to get it back. I don't know whether I

will be able to or not, but I'll do the best that I can to get it back.

Thank you both very much. Thank you. The Labour Party told us that it has

got a robust mechanism in place, to ensure that everybody gets a

reissue. Care services in England could be at

risk with more than 80,000 workers potentially losing their rights to

work here following Brexit. Seven out of ten football fans say

they've heard homophobic abuse That's according to new research by

the LGBT rights charity Stonewall. It found that fans regularly witness

abuse at live events in other sports, although homophobic

behaviour was most common The following short film

was recorded at one such match - we've obscured the

worst of the abuse. Thank you to all of our panel for

coming in this morning. Robbie de Santos, why do you think it is that

you are likely to hear homophobic abuse at a football match? I think

it is across sport. Football is the biggest sport in the country, so the

chances are you are likely to hear it there because there are so many

people. But really this is a problem across sport. When you go to games,

you're likely to hear homophobic, by phobic and transfer the abuse at any

point in sport. It is a real problem. Why do you think it is? I

think it is a small minority of sports fan is but it is a vocal

minority. And what we is to make sure that the silent majority of

sports fans, who do not have time for homophobic abuse, feel empowered

to do something about it. They feel they can challenge it, whether in

the stadium or online channel that there will be some kind of

consequence for people who act in this vile way in sport. Sport should

be everyone's game, and that's what stone wall is campaigning for. Jamie

Feldman, you are a gay football player, have you witnessed this? It

is interesting because I would say that it had decreased over the

years, until actually this weekend. I was playing in a game when one of

our players was lying on the floor, and were told to get up Riise the

ground and stop being a poof. The opposition player said it, and on

learning that we were a gay team his excuse was, I did not know that's

not acceptable. Did anyone say anything? Oh, absolutely. We are a

team made up of gay people, straight people, people that we don't know

because we don't ask. And so we all protected the player who was on the

floor who had been called poof. That's what was most shocking and

surprising to me was, another player who then got involved, to say he

didn't mean it like that, who was a black player, who I went up to and

said, if I called you a derogatory racist comment, would it be the

same? His response was, no, it's completely different, that's racism.

I also work as a lawyer so I have some background into school and

nation. The Equality Act does not place any ranking on characteristics

- race, religion, sexual orientation, they are all the same,

they should be protected the same way. And I feel that in sports come

homophobia has a bit to catch up with racism, we're not quite there

yet. Zitta Lomax, you're a member of the Gay Gooners, what have your

experiences been in the stadium? The fact that Arsenal are kind of

supporting LGBT fans, has that made a difference? Yes, it's made a huge

difference. Arsenal were the first team to have a fans' group, and it

has made a huge impact. Especially little things like, it was a huge

thing, actually, there is a banner ad says Gay Gooners at the stadium

now. So when you walk in, as an LGBT fan, you feel much safer and more

confident. Arsenal worked very hard with Kick It Out and other

organisations to make sure that they are following the Equality Act, as

has been said. To make sure that everybody feels safe. Do you still

hear abuse? Yes, you still hear language which is used

inappropriately. That's the big thing. There was something in the

report around young people and their use of language. The charity I work

for, Educate And Celebrate, that's our big thing, going into schools

and talking to young people about how we use language and

understanding language. People still need to have awareness about LGBT

and being able to use language appropriately. Lisa Squires, at

Charlton Athletic, is there an issue around homophobic abuse? I

personally have not witnessed anything at Charlton Athletic.

Obviously, we work really hard to make sure that it's important for us

that everybody comes in and enjoys the game. So, we want... It's a

family environment, we are known as a family football club. We want

everybody to feel safe when they come to Charlton Athletic. We have

started a scheme and we have been very involved with Gay Gooners,

they've helped us to establish that supporters group at Charlton. It's

really positive. And we just want to educate people. Replayed that clip

of the chanting, the songs that get some other words get changed to

offensive language - if that happened at Charlton, what would

happen to people caught up in that? It would definitely be investigated.

They would get kicked out straightaway what it does it take

people around them to point them out? Yes, this has been a big push,

particularly Kick It Out now have an app which is very supportive. What's

difficult for people, if you're at a match and you see someone being

homophobic in front of you, sometimes it can be a bit worrying.

You have your steward that you can go to. If you have the confidence,

you can do that. Arsenal has been very good at explaining to fans that

they can go to the steward. But the great thing about the Kick It Out

app is, you can report any kind of just grab the nation and you can

send it there and then. And it will get picked up data. Fans have to

identify what row that person is sitting in and what number seat, if

at all possible. It's much easier for fans to do now. Sometimes people

are not confident enough to challenge homophobia if they are

seeing it actually happening. I probably would if I was with a

friend. Sometimes if you're on your own, people in the heat of the

moment. You might not want to go up to them. But they would get taken

out of the game straightaway if it could be seen that they were being

homophobic or racist or using disk Grenada Will Antwi Joe Arundel it's

still the case that there is no openly gay professional footballer

in England or Scotland - would it make a difference if anybody came

out? We do not know whether there are any, which is a huge issue. But

in women's football, a lot of high-profile lesbian women and

bisexual, coming out, sending a message that people like us exist.

We know that right through sport, there are lesbian and gay and trans

people who are great. Role models are so important. But in the absence

of that, there's still a huge amount that players can do in the welcoming

and accepting of fans. We have got a video which was put together by

Arsenal players doing exactly that... I can't change, I look like

Lewis Hamilton. I can't change that my hair is perfect. I can't change

my head. I can't change that I look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I can't change that I'm gorgeous. But together, we can change the

game. Players are lacing up to kick homophobia out of football. Get

involved and show your support. That's great, isn't it? Does that

sort of thing make a difference? I think it does. It raises awareness.

We are in quite a good position in where our team plays, we're based in

the Middlesex County, at the grassroots level. One thing that we

really wanted to do for the Rainbow Laces campaign this year is,

attacked the grassroots level. The grassroots level, with the kids and

the players playing football on a Saturday morning and then going to

watch their stars on a Saturday afternoon. If we can do something to

help raise awareness that there is an issue to do with homophobic, and

other kinds of abusing football, and a small things such as wearing a

lace, something rainbow laced, which promotes talk about what the issue

is, I think it will help. I think it will make it a more welcoming place.

So that whoever feels ready to be the first male footballer to come

out, professionally, if there is one, will feel comfortable to do so.

You said before about when somebody was challenge to for a comment and

you said double it is abusive, and you said, how would you feel if it

was a racist issue and they saw it differently - do you think people

don't think through what they are saying and would try to brush it off

as banter? I think it is about education. It is about talking to

people. A lot of people do not know about the Equality Act and that you

should treat everyone equally and fairly, regardless of

characteristics. That's one thing. Without organisation, that's what

we're trying to get through to young people. There was part in the report

about the banter. But we find that if you work with young people, as

soon as they understand the issues, and what the language is, they will

change. But it's about having everyone actually challenging the

disk post. Education needs to go on from the bottom to the top. Coaches

need to know about how they're talking to people. And they need to

feel confident. A lot of coaches will not feel confident if one of

their young people comes out to them, about dealing with it. So that

adds to the homophobia. A lot of it is quite quiet. There is lots of it

out there, as you heard at the weekend, but very quiet homophobia,

if that makes sense shush overall, we have two clubs here which seem to

be dealing with it very well - do you think most clubs are doing that?

I think it is a mixed picture. There are a lot of clubs in football and

in rugby across the country, and it's hard to see what the full

picture is. But in the build-up to November, we've got a big campaign

weekend working with the Premier League, the Football Association,

Premiership rugby channel we're trying to get as many clubs as

possible to take either the first step for the second or the third

step, like Arsenal and Manchester United and Charlton, to really make

a big display of support for lesbian, gay, bi and trans players

and fans. We want everybody to be accepted in sport at all levels. We

can't do this without the big clubs, the big leagues and the governing

bodies. Really today is the start of the big campaign, and we're looking

for everyone to play their part. Thank you all very much. Let us know

your thoughts as well. Coming up, the end of Brangelina. I

feel like it is the end of an era, so I am dedicating my show tonight

to Brangelina! Even though I think private lives should be private. I

was shocked when I woke up this morning! We can get the latest

weather now. Some fog around across Eastern parts

of England but a bit of a change on the way out west, with this cloud

coming in from the Atlantic. The rain eventually finding its way into

western Scotland. Ahead of that, the odd shower drifting up towards

north-west England. Otherwise it's a dry day for most with sunny spells

as well. Where you've got the light winds, it is going to feel quite

warm, more like late summer than autumn. The rain is away during the

course of the evening. Getting into Wales and more central and west

parts of England. That's the remnants of it left tomorrow across

parts of the Midlands and eastern parts of England. Behind it, a lot

of clear skies and feeling quite fresh in the brisk winds.

A couple of comments to bring you on the conversation we were just having

about ham owe fobbic abuse at football matches in particular.

Jonathan tweeted to say, "As a gay man I would be embarrassed at a game

especially with my family with homophobic chants." Dom texted, "It

is football. Everyone gets abuse. Passions run high and not everyone

is PC." We have also had you getting in touch on the restraint issue, the

fact that new guidelines were brought in two years ago and the

number of times restraint is being used in cases, in mental health

units has increased. Adam says, "De-escalation is always the desired

outcome, but there are times when intervention is needed to protect

life." Simon says, "I am still here due to the use of restraint by staff

within the NHS." Russell a mental health nurse, "We don't use face

down restraint in the trust I work in. We use face up restraint as a

last resort." David texted, "I recently attended a local hospital

with my elderly father and I overheard four nurses on a smoking

break outside the mental health unit laughing about how they treated

patient on that shift. They came across as thugs." Andrea, "How about

discussing how much damage the mental health patients cause to the

staff who try to look after them when they kick off?" Another viewer

says, "It arises from the behaviour of consultant psychiatrists and

managers who are inclined towards, restraint, containment and control.

The heavy prescribing of drugs is the evidence which they claim is for

stabilisation, but it is to tranquillize and neutralise.

for some more sport. We are going to reflect

on what was another fantastic Paralympic Games for Great Britain

who far surpassed their target, bringing home 147 medals and I'm

happy to say we have some of those Gold medallists Ellie Simmonds

and Dame Sarah Storey Thank you. Are you happy to be back

and have some downtime? Yeah, I'm really happy to be back. It is a

shame it is over because we trained so hard for the four years after

London. It was all focus was on Rio and now it is over, it is a low

point, but then it is really nice to be touch down and be home and have

all the support and see our friends and family and I'm looking forward

to going home and having a relaxing time and just yeah, enjoying the

success of the Games. And Sarah, congratulations to you as

well. Thank you. You become Great Britain's most successful female

Paralympian, how does that feel and was that one of the drives for you

going into the Games to surpass Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson? I'm very much

focussed on the events I've got in hand and I had four gold medals to

defend from the Games in London. And I'm still coming to terms with being

ahead of Tanni. Does it sink in for you at ninth in time or after the

plaudits that you won in sport is it another one on the list? Well, it is

about winning gold medals and doing your very best performance and the

tal whys are something, it feels like someone else keeps a tally of

them for me. It wasn't a major motivation, it was something

reminded to me a couple of days before the opening ceremony. I was

like goodness me, if I don't do it now, massive pressure. Someone else

will come along in a few years time. She could be the first one to go

beyond Mike Kenny who has 16 gold medals. Ellie, talk to us about the

200 meters individual medley, the first person to go under three

minutes, a new world record time. Does that make the hard work goes

into the Games worth it? For sure, it does. You only see us out on the

pool for however long we race for, but all the hard work anded

dedication and the 18 hours of swimming in the pool and plus the

gym session, it really pays off and this is what we do. We love to, I

love to compete. I'm a very competitive person so when it pays

off and it goes really well, it is icing on the cake really. Sarah, you

have a different thought process for this Games. You have got a young

family, what was it like preparing and having that on the side as well?

You just kind of adapt to your situations regardless of what they

are. To have a little one running around. She was 16 weeks when we

went on our first training camp and that was the point when I was

thinking if I was going to lose the baby weight. I did my first World

Championships when she was nine months old. She travelled the world

with me since and with Barney. She is a fit and well little girl and

loves her adventures and that gives me a completely different focus when

I get off the bike. I can't sit-in my room and worry about the next

race because I'm playing with princesses or ponies or reading

books. Ellie, you may have seen the words, they went viral of Alex

Brooker. Brooker talking about Alex Zanardi. Do you think that's the

overall message of the Paralympic Games to inspire, you know, people

who may feel down about their disability? Oh yeah, for sure. It is

great for Paralympics GB what we have achieved and to keep that

legacy continuing from London 2012. We are athletes, we train as hard as

the Olympians. For me, I'm smaller than someone a regular height. We

just give everything we've got and it is trying to get a positive

message and to anyone out there, if they believe they can do it, they

canment if you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want to

achieve. What's next for both of you? Have you thought about what you

will be doing? Will you be going to the next Games? I hope so. I really

want to enjoy the success I had from the Games and look forward to a

break and be with friends and family and just celebrate it with them.

Sarah have you thought about what you will be doing next? You have had

a long and successful career, are you going to add to it? I will be

deciding when I have a break. There will be a few more races that may

happen or may not, once I have a rest, I will look at the numbers and

see if I can go faster. My coach thinks I can go faster. He laid down

the gauntlet. Do you want to? I would love to be an athlete forever,

but sometimes you have to be realistic. Congratulations. Thank

you for coming in to join us. Congratulations again. That's all

the sport for now. Joanna, we will be back with more after 10.30am. See

you then, thank you very much. Reports are coming in from Syria

of an air attack on a clinic, with a number of medical workers

and at least nine rebel The strike was close

to the city of Aleppo. This latest raid appears to have

targeted the town of Khan Touman, Meanwhile recriminations continue

over the attack on the 31-truck aid Our Correspondent James Longman

is in neighbouring Lebanon So James the blame game goes on over

the attack on the aid convoy? Absolutely right. The United States

has said in no uncertain terms that they believe it was the Russians who

were responsible. They have said that they think that two jets took

off from a town on the East Coast of, sorry on the West Coast of Syria

from a Russian army base. They then tracked them as they travelled over

the north of the country and saw them as they dropped the bombs on

the convoy and the warehouse which, as you say, killed 20 people. The

Russians from their point of view have said they think there was a

spontaneous fire. There was no evidence that any munitions were

dropped and no explosives and they reject the US claim. I think that it

is going to have big implications for Russia if this is proven to be

the case. We heard the United Nations say yesterday it would

amount to a war crime if it were the case. So if this is Russia and if it

can be proven it is Russia then that surely throws enormous doubt on the

future of this ceasefire which I have got to say isn't really

happening at the moment. No, there was an airstrike at a medical centre

near Aleppo, wasn't there? It is not the first time that a medical centre

has been hit. No. You're right. This year alone 115 medical workers and

volunteers have been killed in Syria attending to the wounded, the

critically injured. We understand that this strike hit a clinic and

two ambulances and that the clinic was entirely levelled. Four have

been killed. A further fifth person is now in intensive care with severe

burns. It should be said that what the airstrike was doing was

targeting an area which is rebel-held. The group is not backed

by the Withes, but it does work in tandem with western-backed groups

and that's the issue in Syria. There is a tranche of groups which aren't

backed by the West and yet aren't considered extreme enough to be

targeted by western coalition aircraft, but they sit-in this

category that the Russians and the Syrians have decided are terrorists

and that's possibly what happened here. But as I say, we haven't had

any confirmation yet over who pedestrian formed that particular

airstrike. Of course, the hope had been that

the ceasefire, if it had worked, would have enabled aid to get in.

What hope is there now of aid getting in? Well, Boris Johnson, the

Foreign Secretary, said that this is the last show in town, the only show

in town this particular ceasefire agreement. The Russians and the

Americans are going to meet this week. We're told on Friday to see if

they can salvage this deal. And if they can, there is a possibility

that aid can get in, but we saw from the very beginning of the ceasefire

that that was just wasn't happening. The Syrians said that because the

Americans hadn't managed to get their duck ins a row if you like,

hadn't managed to get the opposition on board with the ceasefire, that

they weren't going to let aid into the areas that needed it most, there

are 600,000 people who live in areas that are totally cut off, another

four million people who live in places which are hard to reach, the

area which was hit, this convoy attack, that's designated as hard to

reach. Finding a way forward on the ceasefire is going to be very

difficult and there are some who say these airstrikes on this convoy and

also on the eastern part of the country where the Americans

accidentally hit Syrian Army personnel, it is all part of a

conspiracy that whilst the State Department and the Russian frn

ministry want to find some kind of deal, their respective Foreign

Ministeries don't, and they are trying to sabotage what maybe a

diplomatic solution to this crisis, because they don't want to share

information with one another and the Russian and the American military is

not happy about sharing intelligence. These issues need to

be fleshed out before any aid can get into the country and meanwhile

all the tens, hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people wait

for food and medical supplies that they really, really do need. Thank

you, James. Since May, we have been

following the story of the Brain family from Australia,

and their battle to stay in the UK. Yesterday the Government announced

they will not be deported and have issued a 12-month British residency

permit which will allow Kathryn and Greg to work and their son

Laughlin to continue They came to Scotland

following a drive by the Government encouraging foreign nationals

to relocate there in a bid But when the visa they needed

was abolished by the Home Office in 2012 they were left

in a situation described by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon

as absolutely outrageous. They were due to be deported in May

and then given a further leave You must be relieved? Very relieved.

It's a huge white off our shoulders. We're very grateful for the support

we have heard from so many people to get us to this point. Obviously,

Edward had been better if we had not had to go through this in the first

place we are very relieved that now, as you've said, we are hopeful that

when we see the visa, which we have not yet seen ourselves, that we will

be able to start work. Kathryn, I have to say, I have not seen you

smile like that since this has been unfolding, and we've spoken to you

several times - how are you feeling? Related. I said yesterday, I did not

realise how tight my stomach has been this last few months yet the

weight were carrying on our shoulders since this all started.

And yesterday when we got the phone call from the solicitor saying he

had just received a phone call from the Home Office saying that the

visas had been granted, I did not know weather to laugh or cry. It was

just, completely overcome by so many emotions at once. It's just amazing.

I just can't wait to get started in the job now. Tell us what it's been

like, because you haven't been working, you left the home you had

been living in, obviously, you were thinking at several points that you

might just have to go on a particular date, but that didn't

happen. You have a lot of support, but inside, it's the two of you who

were facing your lives changing - how did you cope with that? Indeed,

I think the hardest part was trying to keep Laughlin as sheltered as

possible from the ugly side of it all. Trying to keep positive for

him, to say, we're doing everything we can, everybody was doing

everything to make sure that we find a way to stay. Because it was

tearing him apart, he would go to school and he was not sure weather

he would still be going to school next week to see his friends. And

these are people he had grown up with since he was a toddler. They're

lifelong friends and I'm sure that's how it will be. That was the hardest

part, explaining to Laughlin. He asked a few times, why do we have to

keep fighting to stay in our home? That was the hardest part of it.

It's still not completely certain for the long-term, is it, Greg Ollie

it is a 12 month residency permit, but you're hoping that it will lead

to something more permanent? Yes, we've actually not seen it yet. We

only had the phone call from the solicitor yesterday saying that he

had had a phone call from the Home Office saying that a visa had been

approved. We're not sure of the terms and conditions. We understand

that we will be going through this again in 12 months' time, but from

the much better position that Kathryn will have been working with

our hotel for 12 months. I know with previous experience, once an

employer realises what they've got, with Kathryn, they don't let go, so

we're feeling very confident about our future now! And there is a

difference in your demeanour as well. Obviously, you both feel very

different now, when you look back at the pressure you've been under? I

described this, when this first started in April, and the media

attention came to us huddled I described it to Kathryn, I said, I

feel like we have to roll five sixes every time. One missed step would

mean it is all over. Like we were playing yahtzee. So, to be able to

step away from that situation, yes, it's an enormous relief. When you

look back come to you feel like you can take something positive from

such a difficult experience, is there anything? We do, the amount of

support that we had from our village, Dingwall, the Highlands,

Scotland, throughout the UK. We've had people with enormous profiles,

like Tom from The Proclaimers, Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon, everybody.

We are not special, it clearly was not about us. But we realised this

is a situation which has really touched a nerve, something which

really needs to be reviewed. Because the system as it currently is is

broken. In a way, we're glad that for better or worse, we were able to

shed some light on it. And now back to normal life channel Kathryn,

you've got to start your job now? This is it! It's actually quite

funny. Our lawyer does have a lovely sense of humour. Very dry! When he

rang me at the day to break the news, it's hard to tell over the

phone weather he's smiling or not, and he broke the news saying, he had

just received a call from the Home Office, and it's not good news, I'm

afraid. I thought, what now?! He said, looks like you're going to

have one hell of a commute from Dingwall to Aviemore for the fuzzy

able future! So that was when it all just want us the wave of emotion

just came over me! I couldn't believe that we have finally got

back answer that we had been searching for for so long. It's

really good to talk to you both and see you both so happy. Thanks.

Lot of you getting in touch on the restraint on mental health units.

This one says, I have worked in a medium secure unit for seven years.

I think it needs to end but the minister needs to work closely with

the mental health units. Terry on WhatsApp - the entire sector needs

restructure. Facedown restraint and the excessive misuse of it is one

symptom of a larger problems of underfunding, under training,

understaffing and many other problems, including how learning

difficulties and mental difficulties are approached within society full

stop this one - my daughter was restrained more than once by a large

group of staff and she was later charged with assault by a staff

member. This one says, who protects the staff from biting, kicking and

spitting? This one - why don't you interview staff who face danger

every day? I am a retired registered mental health nurse, and over the

years, every restraint I have seen has been carried out within the

rules. Keep getting in touch with us.

There have been violent protests in the US town of Charlotte

in North Carolina after police shot dead a black man who they claimed

The police said 12 officers were injured in the disturbances.

On Monday, police in the city of Tulsa in Oklahoma said that

a black man they had shot dead on Friday was unarmed.

Earlier this morning police blocked roads and motorways -- protesters

blocked roads and motorways in north Charlotte before protesting with

police. I get pulled over, it's like I'm going to get shot, armed or not.

It's been growing, people getting shot everywhere, man. If you're a

black guy, you probably should be scared, because we're the ones

getting shot. Let's talk now to a reporter for the news station Fox 46

in Charlotte, joining us from North Carolina. Well, it is reminiscent

obviously of several incidents which have unfolded before - just tell us

more about the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, which is what has

sparked these protests? Right now we are still waiting for more

information to come out. Like you guys were saying, the police say he

was armed, the family says he was not. Police told us they recovered a

gun at the scene. There was a warrant that it was not for him, it

was for someone completely different. Keith Lamont Scott was in

his car at the time, got out of the car, and police said he posed an

immediate, deadly threat. And that's when they shot him. The protests

started late in the afternoon on Tuesday and they have been going for

about 12 hours now. And the fact that those protests started so

quickly after the incident and straights how strongly people feel

about what has been going on? It really does. And as I say, it's

still going. I just got back to our news station but it's still going. I

was on scene for about nine hours. Police told us about eight hours ago

they were looking to leave. They thought everything was dying down.

But protesters started coming at them in their general direction,

getting up in their face. That's when the tear gas came out, that

really didn't do anything but make the protesters even more, instead of

sending them away to their homes, it's just sent them to different

parts of the city. So you had three different groups of protesters

within a few hours in different parts of the city, getting more and

more angry. And it's taken a while to calm down, but it hasn't stopped.

How are the authorities reacting and what are they doing over what can

they say and do to try to sarky intentions? It's been tough, it's

been really hard to calm these protesters down. A lot of them very

angry and emotional. There were certain times, I will take you to a

scene - half of a highway was completely shutdown because

protesters were making their way onto the interstate here in North

Carolina. They had it shot down, they were lighting things on fire in

the streets, gathering rocks and bottles, throwing them at cars that

were coming in a different direction and it started to get more and more

violent, and police were in their riot gear on the side, wondering

what to do, trying to come up with some kind of a game plan, because

they were completely outnumbered. Had a few dozen police officers and

hundreds of protesters at this scene, at that moment. They were

getting more and more violent by the minute. It's took them a while to

develop a game plan. They were using tear gas, threatening to arrest

people, and I think the tear gas did get people away. Right now you have

a lot of dispersed groups across Charlotte right now. But a lot of

people protesting very loudly. So it remains quite volatile situation?

There is actually a rough Walmart superstore here in town that just

got looted not too long ago. People were stealing electronics and that

store is now boarded up. They have a lot of things in front of the doors,

they're completely shutdown and we're not sure if they will open up

again tomorrow because people have been raiding that store. Thank you

very much for joining us. Still to come: We'll have the latest

with domestic abuse incidents are being trained to spot the signs

of coercive or Research for the College of Policing

suggested that officers were focusing on cases involving

violence and missing those where suspects tried

to control their victim Coercive or controlling behaviour

became a criminal offence last year. Our Home Affairs correspondent

Danny Shaw is here. Why is it proving to be so difficult

for police to actually spot this? I think part of it is because police

have some old-fashioned attitudes perhaps, many of them do a deal

professionally with domestic violence cases, but some are not

attuned to the dynamics of a domestic abuse relationship. When

they go to an incident and they can see that someone has been injured or

that there are clear signs of violence perhaps, you know, parts of

the house have been damaged then it is quite obvious that violence is

involved, there could be a domestic abuse incident and clearly, the risk

is assessed and dealt with, but where those signs of violence,

injury, aren't there, then it is more subtle and it requires an

appreciation of perhaps differences in the relationship between the two

people involved, the way the victim perhaps is behaving, that they don't

spot that there maybe a coercive for controlling relationship taking

place and vemp has shown that that can be -- research has shown that

can be a trigger factor for serious incidents of domestic violence

later. That's why, this research by the College of Policing is showing

that police are not spotting these signs and why they have now set-up

this pilot scheme involving three forces where officers will be given

specific training to spot those signs of coercion and control.

Presumably it is difficult to spot something that is potentially very

subtle when police go into a house in response it a call. So what does

the training involve? What are they being given? Well, I think this will

be given specific pointers about what to look out for. This doesn't

mean that they go in heavy handed and suddenly they see someone who is

clearly rather fragile and they necessarily assume they are the

victim of domestic violence, but they have to risk assess these cases

and at the moment the evidence is that they are ignoring them. So it

is really shifting the emphasis a bit saying OK, there may not be

violence or injury involved, but there are psychological factors

involved that could be at play which could be just as dangerous in the

long run. I think the other issue according to the research that's

been done, they are bogged down in processes and paperwork and there is

a huge backlog of cases which isn't helping either. And my concern is

that this new training is not going to necessarily address that. That

problem of workload, one officer says he has 170 cases of potential

domestic violence, any of which could lead to a murder, that has to

be risk assessed. So I think the problem is, and you're right to say

this, that if you add in all the coercive and control potential in

cases that could just add to the case load. Has that workload

increased since this new offence came in? I don't think it is since

the new offence came in. I think it is something with domestic abuse is

very much on the agenda in a way it wasn't, 10, 15, 20 years ago,

officers are very much more are aware of it and of the need to

conduct proper risk assessments because they know what could happen

if they don't and if appropriate steps aren't taken.

Brangelina are no more. Let's of you getting in touch on

restraint. Rose says, "I am a victim of mental health physical

restriction. I had a terrible experience when I was sectioned in

20140. I was in a low mood and tearful. One nurse asked whether I'd

rather go into my room or prefer to go to the police to seep that night.

I chose to go to the police, the police forcefully restrained me in a

wheelchair. I was restrain at hospital. Mental health services

need improvement. ." Another e-mail, "I am a nurse in an NHS secure unit.

All you are talking about is the welfare of the patients, what about

the welfare of the staff who are spat at, hit and stabbed? Are staff

just to stand by and allow this so as to not to cause a patient

distress?" Vulnerable older and disabled people

in need of Social care could be The charity Independent Age

is making that claim in a report They say around 80,000 paid-carers

come from the EU and that even a small cut in that workforce

could prove highly damaging. Millions of people in Britain depend

on Adult Social Care Services to help them stay living in their

own homes or residential care. Help includes with eating,

drinking, washing and staying clean. Simply, without recruiting

from the EU, it's feared there won't be enough people to look

after an ageing population. Here's Sangita Myska

on a system under strain. This was the night Britain chose to

Brexit, cutting migration from the European Union was a key concern for

many voters. Including the over 65s, 60% of whom

voted out. It is putting the great back into Britain. Instead of

English, we will be Great Britain again. According to a report by

Independent Age any cut could affect them the most. Our ageing population

has complex needs and our adult social care system is facing huge

operational and financial pressures. There are currently 1.3 million

people working in the sector. Over 80,000 of them are migrants

from the European Union. So what has the Government said

about their job security? Well, back in July, the Health Secretary,

Jeremy Hunt, offered this. We will not end up in a situation where EU

nationals, upon whom we depend in the health and social care system

and they do an outstanding job, would not be allowed to remain in

the UK. The Home Secretary has said she is very confident that we would

be able to negotiate a deal where they're able to stay here as long as

they wish. Of course, Brexit negotiations haven't even started.

And experts say there aren't enough British born care workers to fill

the gaps. Care providers say attracting people into the industry

is difficult. Shifts are often long and caring can be physically and

emotionally demanding. Hands on carers are often paid on or around

the national Living Wage, that's ?7.20 an hour. Worse still, staff

turnover rates are running at 24%. That means about 300,000 paid carers

quit their job every year. With tens of thousands of unfilled

vacancies, the pressure on those in work is going up.

Today's report says unless pay and conditions improve substantially, in

20 years time, we'll have a shortfall of 350,000 workers. They

say that means even a small cut in the number of EU workers coming into

the industry will put vulnerable older and disabled people at risk.

Let's talk now to a panel of people on how they think the industry

will cope once we actually leave the European Union.

Bob Padron owns Penrose Care, a home care company,

and Olga Garcia, a Spanish migrant worker who works for Bob's company.

Daniel Kawczynski, Conservative MP and member of the Commons

Foreign Affairs Committee who supports Brexit.

Cristina Irimie is the director of a company which recruits care

workers from an agency in Romania, and Dr Jamie Wilson,

Founder of the home care service "HomeTouch"

Christina, you work with a recruitment firm, so are you seeing

an impact already even though we haven't actually left? Yes,

unfortunately we could see the impact straight after the result of

the referendum. Because it became increasingly difficult to attract

care workers even from countries in Eastern Europe and then after Brexit

people started being worried and unfortunately, all this uncertainty,

it shows a big impact in the industry. There is more demand that

we have from employers in the UK that there is carers to fill the

positions with. Is it a minority, a majority? What's the sort of, can
