Hello, it's Monday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Joanna Gosling,

Our top story today, the American election gets nasty.

With just days to go till the nation decides between Hillary Clinton

and Donald Trump, leading democrats say the head of the FBI may

have broken the law, by announcing a new inquiry into

The FBI is reopening the investigation into the criminal and

illegal conduct of Hillary Clinton. Voters deserve to get full and

complete facts. And so we called an director James Comey to explain

everything right away, put it all out on the table.

Also on the programme, are drug fix rooms, where addicts

can inject heroin safely, a good idea?

Glasgow's likely to give the go, ahead to one later today.

These services are compassionate, they are evidence -based, they are

low threshold and give people back some dignity and respect.

We'll hear from heroin addicts and drug campaigners,

and we're really keen to hear your views.

Plus, do schools fail adopted children?

If you've adopted a child we're really keen to hear your experience

Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11:00am.

Throughout the morning we'll bring you the latest breaking news

and developing stories and, as always, really keen

A little later we'll talk to the Labour MP who's

campaigning against the cost of children's funerals.

Carolyn Harris had to borrow money and take out a loan to pay for her 8

year old sons funeral after he was killed

She's talking for the first time about her experience.

The FBI is being asked to explain its decision to examine

new evidence in relation to Hillary Clinton's

use of a private email server when she was the US

The leader of the Democratic Party in the US Senate, has said the head

of the FBI may have broken the law by releasing details

of a new investigation linked to a staffer Mrs Clinton.

With the polls tightening, the Clinton campaign is mounting

a fierce fightback against the FBI's decision to reveal it was looking

at a fresh batch of emails related to the investigation

into Hillary Clinton's private server.

Her officials are pointing to the fact that the Department

of Justice warned the FBI against disclosing that they were

looking at a potentially new trove of emails.

Hillary Clinton believes it is both strange and troubling to talk

about the new inquiry so close to polling day.

There's a lot of noise and distraction but it really comes

down to what kind of future we want and who as our president

The Democrats are pointing out that no one knows whether this latest

batch contains new emails or classified information.

The FBI director James Comey has repeatedly been attacked

by the Republicans for closing the Clinton case in July,

despite describing her handling of secret information as reckless.

The Clinton campaign is demanding that the FBI

explain its decision to reveal that it was reopening

Why would you break these two protocols?

Why would you release information that is so incomplete

when you haven't even seen the material yourself?

11 days before an election, why would you talk about

Ladies and gentlemen, the next and first female President

of the United States, Hillary Clinton!

Hillary Clinton, like her opponent, is investing large swathes

With an eye to appealing to the Hispanic community,

she shared a stage with Jennifer Lopez in Miami.

But there are early indications that this

new investigation is chipping away at Hillary Clinton's

The Clinton campaign's complaint is that the FBI statement was long

on innuendo and short on facts and it's opened the doors

for Donald Trump to accuse her of criminal and illegal activity.

These are anxious days for Hillary Clinton.

Just days ago, her team believed victory was almost in its grasp.

Gavin Hewitt, BBC News, Florida.

We can get more now from our correspondent, Daniella Relph,

how could the FBI have broken the law?

This claim about breaking the law has come from one of the most senior

Democrat politicians in the US, Harry Reid. He is a political

veteran, he is 77, he seen it all. He is head of the Democrats in the

Senate and comes at this as a Hillary Clinton supporter. He's

written to the head of the FBI James Comey and said he believes he's had

double standards and is trying to favour one political party over the

other. He said he believes the head of the FBI has violated a law which

bans officials from getting involved in the vote and outcome of an

election. In his letter Harry Reid has written to James Comey and said

"Through your partisan actions you have broken the law". You have this

situation eight days before an election, one of the most senior

Democrats in the country accusing the FBI of trying to influence the

election. In the backdrop you have this Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal.

There are now these two key figures involved in this and they are former

congressmen Anthony Wiener and his wife who is very much Hillary

Clinton's right-hand woman. They are at the centre of this, a political

power coupled with great careers ahead of them. Anthony Wiener has

had some sex scandals. His marriage, his political career is over but it

is his laptop at the centre of this latest e-mail allegations. That is

at the centre of the investigation. There could be more than 600,000

e-mails to go through so this isn't going to be resolved by next

Tuesday. Thank you. Plenty more reaction on this to come

throughout the programme. Annita is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary A group of MPs says the Government's

claim that it's putting an extra 10 billion pounds into the NHS over

the next 5 years is incorrect. The Treasury insists

it is investing that amount, but the Conservative Chair

of the Commons Health Select Committee Dr Sarah Wollaston warns

more money is needed to avoid Earlier this month at

the Conservative Party conference, Theresa May proudly spoke

about the extra ?10 billion she said her party was putting into the NHS

over the next five years. But now a member of her own party

and the influential chair of the Health Select Committee,

Doctor Sarah Wollaston, In a strongly worded letter,

she says the figure of ?10 She accuses the government of giving

the false impression that the NHS And she says cuts from local

government budgets for public health and social care are having a severe

impact on the health service through increased

emergency attendances By changing pots of money from one

part of the health budget to another, for example taking money

out of public health and health education,

it can give an impression more is given when in fact the real

figure is very considerably lower, and in the run, up to the spending

review, as I have said, the point is we need to be very

clear that the NHS and social care are in a serious financial

crisis at the moment. Responding, the Treasury said

the government had backed the NHS's plan for the future

with a ?10 billion real terms increase in funding,

and that it was wrong It also said local governments had

access to the funding they needed While there is a disagreement

about how much money is being put into the NHS,

the pressures on it and the cost The Home Secretary Amber Rudd

is expected to announce today whether she'll commission an inquiry

into the clash between police and miners at Orgreave

in South Yorkshire. It was the most violent

confrontation of the More than 120 officers

and miners were injured, Campaigners claim police

used excessive force Thousands of people in Italy have

spent the night sleeping in cars and tents after the country's

biggest earthquake in 40 years. The 6.6-magnitude quake struck close

to the region where nearly 300 people were killed by

another quake in August. This time no one appears

to have died, but around 20 Tremors were felt in the capital

Rome, where the Metro system was shut down,

and as far away as Venice Our correspondent Jenny Hill is in

Norcia and sent us this update. There is widespread relief that no

one was killed in yesterday's earthquake but villages and towns

have been all but destroyed You can see this building behind me,

clearly it was somebody's home. We're able to stare straight

into the dining room. Rather remarkably, actually I don't

know if you can see, framed pictures on the walls

which haven't moved at all during what's been the strongest

earthquake in decades to hit this This morning people

are waking up in tents. No one is allowed inside the ancient

town walls here because the firefighters we've been

to speaking to this morning say it's In fact, the authorities are urging

people who live in Norcia and the towns and villages around it

to leave the area, to take emergency accommodation miles away

on the Adriatic coast and that's because experts predict

there will be more earthquakes We've actually felt some ourselves

this morning and the ground ready shakes, and we can hear bits

of masonry falling off the buildings Very dangerous of course

for the emergency services who were told are still inside the city

was going to the buildings trying to make sure that no one is trapped

inside still but as I say, the authorities tell us,

as far as they are aware, no one was killed although there are many,

many question marks for people in towns like this

about what happens now. It may be sometime before they can

return to them if they ever want to. A lot of fear here this morning,

of course, lots of questions for the Italian government to answer

too about how to make sure that future earthquakes don't

devastate towns and villages Changes to the way disabled people

are assessed for out of work benefits have been outlined

by the government. The measures, set out

in a consultation document, include a review of statutory sick

pay and GP "fit notes" to encourage people who receive Employment

and Support Allowance to make Disability charities have warned

that some people may not be able to work, no matter how much

support they receive. A plan to set up so-called "fix

rooms" to allow drug addicts to inject safely under supervision

is likely to get the go, Members of the health board,

the local authority and police are expected to agree

to the idea in principle. These clinics have been

running successfully across Europe for decades,

News, more at 9:30am. What do you think about these six

rooms? Gemma on Facebook says "Addicts need to be loved and cared

for and treated with the same respect that we treat everyone

with". Anthony says "As long as there is support for the addicts

then I guess it's a good idea." Adrian says "It's working in other

countries and must be a positive step.

Let's get some sport with Olly Foster.

Olly, another win for Lewis Hamilton but he's left it

He was a bit downbeat after his win in the Mexican Grand Prix yesterday.

Still 19 points behind his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg who was

second in Mexico City. That means he only needs to finish second or third

in the next two races, there's only two races left of the season.

Hamilton started on pole position pretty untroubled but Rosberg could

win it in a fortnight in Brazil, then there is Abu Dhabi after that.

Hamilton has sort of conceded the title but he'll give it ago, he says

say never. It's all looking very tight

at the top of the Premier League? It's difficult to call at this early

stage. There's only one point separating the top four teams.

Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool. Chelsea, difficult to believe how

awful they were last season, they were champions two seasons ago and

it seems they have discovered that championship winning form. They beat

Southampton 2-0 and have got 22 points, double the amount at the

same stage last season. Even -- Eden Hazard scored a great goal and they

are up to fourth and in the title mix as well. Everton were winners as

well yesterday beating West Ham. Andy Murray could be world number

one a week from now? He has had an incredible season.

Seven titles to his name. He's won three in a row and beat Jo-Wilfried

Tsonga in straight sets yesterday after winning in Shanghai and

Beijing. The way this ranking system works is it's on a rolling 12 month

period. Novak Djokovic is dropping points

which means if Andy Murray wins in Paris, the masters event next week

which has a lot of ranking points going there, and Novak Djokovic does

not reach the final, he was beaten in the final last year, when

everything is recalibrated on Sunday evening, Andy Murray would become

number one before they go into the world tour finals in London. An

incredible year could be capped if he becomes world number one. Let's

hope for that. Cycling. So Bradley Wiggins. What has he been up to? He

has been racing in London alongside his team-mate Mark Cavendish. They

were runners-up for the Belgian pair and he said he will retire after the

six-day event which starts on November 15. He really has enjoyed

himself at the old Olympic stadium in London over the last six days. He

joked with the crowd he might carry on because his loving it so much

that he is 36 now and he is very, very unlikely to do so. We will see

how he gets on in a fortnight with Mark Cavendish racing together again

against... Where Bradley begins was born, where it all started. Coming

full circle. Thank you. Officials in Glasgow are today

expected to give their initial backing to a controversial plan

to set up so, called "fix rooms" or "shooting galleries" where drug

addicts could inject heroin There are plans to open the UK's

first fix room in Glasgow. It's a place where users can take

dangerous drugs like heroin under It's estimated there are around 5000

heroin users in Glasgow. Of those, up to 500 inject

themselves in public places. Fix rooms are also called safe

injecting centres and their main aim is to reduce the risk of death,

overdose and transmitting disease. They are also places where high risk

drug users can connect The addicts bring their own supplies

of the drugs but nurses and social workers are on stand,

by if something goes wrong. workers are on standby if something

goes wrong. The police in these areas have taken

the decision not to These so-called clinics have been

running across Europe for decades. Copenhagen in Denmark is home

to a large drugs scene and there ne of these fixing rooms

was set up in 2013. At the time, police said

the introduction of the facility led to a reduction in crime and fewer

fights between addicts. This area used to be

littered with syringes. Social workers say they regularly

picked up several hundred every day. But since the drug consumption

room opened a year ago, We are concerned this may mean that

more people continue to use drugs and there will be more

dealing in the area. Because heroin users need bits

of kit like needles and syringes, heroin can be

a public health problem. Last year there was a reported spike

in HIV infections in Glasgow, which authorities said was down

to heroin addicts sharing needles. If it opens, Glasgow's new fixing

room would be the first of its kind in the UK, but the details must be

first worked out including how much the facility would cost,

where it would be situated, The Drug and Alcohol Partnership

in Glasgow is expected Daniel on Facebook said, my sister

died in 2001 due to heroin. The safest way to prevent these

tragedies is not to use it at all. Louise on Facebook, this makes drug

use more acceptable and palatable. Next they will say we need to make

it legal or downgraded legally. Wrong, we need to stamp it out. It

is not acceptable. We can speak now to Niamh Eastwood,

from the charity Release, which provides expertise on drugs

and drugs law, she wants to see these fix rooms across the UK,

Chip Somers, a former heroin addict, who thinks the clinics

would be a waste of money. Thank you all for coming in. Tell us

why you support the rooms. We have a lot of evidence of the positive

effects of drug consumption, safer injecting facilities, which is what

the term is, rather than fix rooms. The first set up in Switzerland.

1996. With the evidence from 90 clinics around the world, millions

of episodes of injecting, and not one drug-related death, not one

overdose fatality. At the moment, in England and Wales and across the UK,

we have the highest rates of drug-related deaths on record, one

of the highest in Western Europe. People are dying because of heroin

and morphine. 107% increase in the number of drug-related deaths in the

last three years, related to heroin, a crisis, which needs a pragmatic

evidence -based response and the reality is drug consumption rooms

are a way to reduce drug-related deaths, overdoses and fatalities. In

Vancouver, when they introduced it in the late 90s, they saw a 35%

reduction in overdose fatalities. That's what we want to see.

Facilities policies, programmes, to save people's lives and this is what

this proposal by Glasgow which should be applauded, can do. You can

save lives and unabashedly against that. You are against this. You're

not persuaded by that argument? Unfortunately not. She is a

supporter of drugs and decriminalisation and that's what is

being proposed here. Your piece referred to 5000 problem users in

Glasgow but the actual number could be three times that so this centre

could attract thousands of drug users to it but the idea this is a

proposal to save lives, that's precisely the rationale used to

develop a national methadone programme, to distribute thousands

of needles, to distribute the reversal drugs and we've not seen

any reduction in drug-related deaths in Scotland, a steady rise instead.

If you leave drug use in the lives of addicts, it causes chaos. We need

services not enabling users to use these substances but enabling them

to get off drugs and when we survey Dover 1200 drug users, less than 5%

said they wanted help to use drugs with a greater degree of safety. The

vast majority said they wanted to get off drugs. We have services

refusing to acknowledge the voices of drug users themselves. That's

what we should be doing, having facilities dedicated to helping drug

users recover rather than proposing a means where they can use drugs

more easily. You are a former heroin addict. You now help people to get

off drugs. Do you agree with what you're hearing here about people not

wanting to be told how to use it safely but to be told how to get off

it? Most people using drugs don't want to use drugs, they want to stop

using drugs. I wouldn't have used one when I was using because when I

had my drugs I want to get home as quickly as possible, enjoyed in my

own home, and just be Private. Yes, of course, there were things which

went wrong and I'm in favour of anything that helps reduce the

numbers of deaths for young people using drugs. My problem with this is

the expense it's going to be to run a facility like this, I think around

?200,000 plus, an awful lot of people through a rehab programme and

getting them out of the system. My concern about this is the cost at a

time when people are finding it incredibly difficult to get into

rehab, get support. The empathetic approach which will be taken by the

people who work within these drug rooms should be given to people who

are currently receiving methadone and other support. At the moment,

they are lucky if they see their drug worker for 20 minutes every

three weeks and that's where we should put the money rather than in

an enterprise like this. I don't think this is either or argument.

It's about making sure we have a system in place. Its money spent on

this, not being spent on rehab. In terms of cost, the evidence across

the world show there are cost savings associated with this policy.

The reality for a lot of people, accessing this, they are often

marginalised, using on the streets often, so what happens is that they

experience an overdose on the street, suffer from related

injuries, so have to be taken to hospital by ambulance, and money

could be saved in terms of reducing the costs associated with that. What

about the long run but people are going to these places? Is there any

evidence to show they are getting off drugs? Yes, this is hard to

reach groups so we have them coming into a formal setting, where they

can inject safely, they get access to social services and health care,

and also a range of other really positive interventions. Evidence

shows that it makes people much more likely to engage with treatment

services if they have access to these drug consumption rooms. The

evidence in this case is overwhelming for the positive nature

of this. Does this persuade you? She's giving a misleading impression

that this is a route to get drug users off drugs. If you set up a

facility, which is there to enable drug users to bring in illegal drugs

to the setting and use it, the idea that that is a catalyst to their

recovery, it is at Lee misleading to present it in that way. There's

plenty of evidence in this case, it is well-established. I didn't

interrupt you, so please let me finish. Don't talk over each other.

What about the evidence, though, because there has been 30 years

experience, so why don't you believe there is evidence to show it needs

to be coming off drugs? There is evidence you can attract drug users

to those centres. There was no evidence that they become drug-free

as a result of that contact. That is the problem with these initiatives.

They are presented as an attractive way to make contact. I just want me

to answer that. Is there hard evidence? It at the same people just

coming back? There is hard evidence. Give me figures. The reduction in

sharing equipment, so research from Switzerland for example shows there

was a reduction of 70% of people accessing needles, and reducing

their sharing of equipment. That stopping sharing not getting off

drugs. It reduces it. It has to be the fundamental basis that a drug

policy, the first step. Let reduce blood-borne viruses. There is

evidence from Vancouver, an amazing project, the middle floor is where

people can go and get substitute therapy, a rehab associated with it.

But still no hard evidence of people coming off drugs? I haven't got the

statistics. I'm not going to make it up, but what I will say is, from

what we've seen across the world, that is what happens and if we had

people stable, transitioning from injecting street heroin in a risky

environment, onto a long-term prescribing regime of pharmaceutical

heroin, that is positive. We are saving lives. I can't see why

anybody objective is more important than saving people's lives. What is

the litmus test for you? I presume these are people who are completely

out of touch with all other services because they can't be using

methadone and use heroin in consumption rooms. That would make a

complete nonsense of the method don't prescribing system. I'm hoping

it allows people who are no contact with the services to be in touch

with some services that will be a good thing. -- methadone. I have a

concern about the parlous state of the services being provided. This

kind of support, introduction to rehab should already have been done

with clients they are dealing with now and it has not been. But not

everybody is ready for treatment. That's really important. When they

get to a point where we have transitional points to get people

into long-term treatment... People can be moved towards being ready.

That work is not being done. In Scotland, we are failing to move our

drug users off our existing national methadone programme into recovery.

We have more added deaths linked to methadone in parts of Scotland than

heroin. This was a programme which was advised it would enable drug

users to move up illegal drugs and into recovery. We are failing on a

massive scale without programme and if you repeat that situation here,

we will do exactly the same. We are not supporting services dedicated to

recovery and that's what we need to be doing. Some comments from people.

Lynne is a clinical psychologist has left the NHS due to the tragic and

funding issues. Drug addiction is a symptom of our society which we

ignore rather than face head-on. Don't judge the addict, look at the

facts for the alcohol is a significantly greater risk to the

public receives little public disdain. Andrew on Facebook, as an

ex-junkie, I'm pleased to see a step in the right direction. Addiction is

not understood and needs be addressed. Six rooms, are they

fixing or helping to continue the habit? Who pays? In terms of the

messages being sent out, desert it send out a message that it is

effectively the state saying it's OK to do this? -- six rooms. It's

illegal drugs, isn't it? I don't think it should be about messages.

-- fix rooms. Going back to what the evidence shows is from these drug

consumption rooms globally if we know for example that rates of

initiation, of introduction into heroin use are not linked to the

drug consumption rooms, so the European monetary centre of drug

abuse has specifically said we don't see the initiation of needle users.

Our message has to be, how do we want to take some of those

marginalised and excluded in society? I would want to give them

compassion and dignity and with interventions which save lives and

it's as simple as that. Thank you so much all of you for your time and

your thoughts on this. Thank you. We'll be talking to those who run

fix rooms in Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Also coming up, how the

Black Lives Matter movement is making its mark in Britain. And

can't work but can't claim. The government is planning to review the

work capability assessment that was branded fundamentally flawed by one

charity. We will speak to the Minister for disabled people to find

out how they planned to get more people back to work. If you've been

affected, do let us know. Keep your thoughts coming in on that as well.

Good morning. The Democratic leader in the US Senate said the head of

the FBI may have broken the law by revealing the bureau was

investigating e-mails possibly linked to Hillary Clinton. Harry

Reid accused FBI director James Comey of violating an act which bars

officials from influencing an election. News of the FBI enquiries

comes less than two weeks before the US election. The bureau has obtained

a warrant to search e-mails belonging to a top Clinton aide.

Thousands of people in Italy have spent the night sleeping in cars and

tense after the country's biggest earthquake in 40 years. The 6.6

magnitude quake struck close to the region where nearly 300 people were

killed in August. This time no one appears to have died but around 20

people were injured. Tremors were felt in Rome where the Metro was

shut down and as far away as Venice in the north. Barclays Bank says a

small number of customers in the UK have been charged twice for debit

card transactions made this morning. A spokesman confirmed some Democrat

payments had been duplicated -- debit card payments. The bank says

it is working to resolve the issue. It says no customers will lose money

as a result of the incident. Amber Rudd the Home Secretary is expected

to announce whether she will commission an enquiry into the clash

between police and miners at Orgreave in South Yorkshire. It was

the most violent confrontation of the 1984 miners strike. 124 officers

and miners were injured and 93 people arrested. Campaigners claim

police used excessive force and manufactured statements. Changes to

the way disabled people are assessed for out of work benefits have been

outlined by the government. The measures include a review of

statutory sick pay and GP fit notes to encourage people who receive

Employment and Support Allowance to make a phased return to work.

Disability charities have warned some people may not be able to work,

no matter how much support they receive. A plan to set up so-called

fix rooms to allow drug addicts to inject safely under supervision is

likely to get the go-ahead in Glasgow later today. Members of the

health board, the local authority and police are expected to agree to

the idea in principle. These clinics have been running successfully

across Europe for decades, but this will be the first time one has been

opened in the UK. It's a controversial idea that splits those

who work with addicts. This is a crisis and a crisis needs a

pragmatic evidence -based response. The reality is safer injecting

facilities are a way to reduce drug-related deaths. We should have

facilities dedicated to helping drug users recover, rather than proposing

a means whereby they can use drugs more easily. Members of the public

are being asked to create a record of ritual markings on buildings once

believed to ward off evil spirits. The marks were often carved near

entrances to buildings including the house where Shakespeare was born and

the Tao of London. The symbols were believed to offer protection when

belief in witchcraft and the supernatural was widespread. But

historic England face too little is known about them.

Lots of you are getting in touch on the idea of drug fix rooms. Glasgow

is likely to give the go-ahead to one later today. Graham has detected

"I have been advocating for fix rooms for the help of addicts. Many

crimes are committed by them. I believe these rooms would have a

great benefit to the public as well as the addicts and reduce the drug

dealers". Sharon says "I think the setting up of fix rooms is absurd,

this is condoning the use of drugs, how can this be allowed? Yet we

can't help those who are suffering and wanting to end their lives in a

dignified matter, it is beyond comprehension".

Let's get some sport with Olly Foster.

Lewis Hamilton has cut Nico Rosberg's lead in the Formula 1

drivers championship to 19 points. There are only two races left to go.

Rosberg needs one more win to seal his first title. Just one point

separates the top four in the Premier League after Chelsea kept in

touch with the leaders. They beat Southampton 2-0. Manchester City,

Arsenal and Liverpool all level pegging on 23 points at the top.

Andy Murray's quest to become the world number one is still on track.

He beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to win the Vienna open yesterday, his

seventh title of the year. Next weekend he'll not Novak Djokovic of

the top of the rankings of the Serb doesn't meet the final in Paris.

Bradley Wiggins bowed out in front of a home crowd yesterday. He is due

to retire later this month, but he did hint he might change his mind.

I'll be back with an update later. "Never again will I let a system,

racist, unfair or otherwise, The more I'm told I can't,

the greater the reward The words of Nesta McGregor,

a Radio 1 Newsbeat journalist, who's made a very personal documentary

about the Black Lives It started as a hashtag in 2012,

after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot dead by neighbourhood

watchman George Zimmerman. Since then iconic moments of police

brutality captured on camera... Meant the movement

spread across America. But now, the Black Lives Matter

brand has gone global, with marches in Australia,

Canada and around the UK. I'm Nesta McGregor, I'm

a journalist at BBC Radio 1 I was born in Jamaica,

but by family moved I'm looking to find out what's

causing a rise in black They look at her and think,

she's a black little And at what it feels like to grow up

black and British in 2016. So I guess one of the primary

reasons I wanted to make this documentary was to highlight

what it's like being black Even at work, it happens

on a daily basis. I'll have an e-mail conversation

or a phone conversation with someone, set up an interview,

go to the premises to meet them, they'll come downstairs

to reception, look around, look around, go back upstairs

and call and say "are you sure There's a moment when you hear

like almost in their head, oh, you're the black guy

that was at reception. It's only when I'm saying this now,

I realise, but it saddens me. Because it's the way

things have always been. I know lots of people listening

to this might feel the same. There's got to be a reason why now,

people want to take a stand and show the rest of the world

how they are feeling. I'm not really interested in hearing

the same stats about black Four times more likely to be

stopped and searched, What I really want to do is meet

some of the people who come out to protest and find

out why they are here. These protesters obviously

are trying to make their point, is causing as much

disruption as possible. Just in front of me,

traffic is at an It's pretty much trouble

free, but not everyone We come across a couple who should

have been on holiday but missed their flight

because of a similar demonstration This is important, something

is happening here, we want Their family, everyone's

got to mourn them. If you lot supported us before,

we wouldn't have to do this. Eventually by luck we come

across one of the organisers. It was to create as much, you know,

awareness about Black Lives Matter. To the people that are here with us

today and the people who didn't know the event was happening. I feel like

people who are seeing what we are doing isn't going to change

anything. They are trying to silence us and we will not be silenced. As

the march goes on we come across this guy. What we've got is a

gentleman being led away by police who during the march came out of his

shop and started shouting some abuse, telling people to go back

home and how they don't belong here. They can't keep coming here, they

can't keep coming here. I heard this gentleman say that these people need

to go back home. I've got 4/2 caste children. I can't even say half

caste no more. I've got to say mixed race. There's a million immigrants

coming. These people are marching for equality. If they don't feel

equal in society what do you want them to do? After the March I went

to meet six or seven friends for a drink and they were all white. For

the first time I was looking at them thinking, what do they really think

of me and are they being honest? That was a little bit weird. After

speaking to so many people at the march, and now that I'm back at

home... This is genuine, it almost made me feel less black being at the

march, or that I was black enough. Because maybe if I hadn't been

working I wouldn't have been there, or I'm certainly not as up for

marching. Obviously I'm for equal rights but I don't think I would

have gone and onto a March. A few days later I've arranged a catch up

with Craze 24. He tells me he's been pulled over countless times by

police because of the way he looks. He was the one defending the protest

to the couple who missed their holiday but he's also using his

music to try and change things. # Are you ready for Black Lives

Matter # Instead of hating

# Focus on the evidence we recorded on our phones #

It's a lot cooler in here than at the weekend, why were you at the

march? I believe in the issues they were marching for. It's come to a

point when we have to start talking and addressing the issues before

they go too far. There were some people who came there because a

previous march disrupted their holiday. What did you get out of

that conversation if anything? I got that they were upset because they

was inconvenienced. I felt they were in light and briefly by us talking

so I felt positive that I potentially made them see it from a

different perspective. We are all humans and it's not about Black

Lives Matter more than white lives, it's about realising we are all

human. We need to come together and deal with it. Craze 24 has been

pulled over more times than he thinks he should be. And it's that

gut feeling of inequality or injustice that is united black

people. For everyone the fight is different. Why don't I see more

people like myself on TV? Why isn't there more black people in top jobs?

Why do I get looked at as if I'm a drug dealer? Why is it when people

meet me they automatically think I'm black? I'm not, I'm mixed race. Why

do people take gangsta Rap so literally, half of the time it's not

even what you think it is. Why don't we have more black role models in

life? Why is it because I drive a nice car I get pulled over four

times in one year. I question why we still don't have a black Prime

Minister. In my school everyone looks at you differently, like,

she's the only black person. I'm not sure why people assume I like

hip-hop or I'm good at basketball. I think I'm the same as everybody

else. There's a lot of young black men who lack aspiration in life. The

reason they do this because they've not got a role model to help and

support them. To try and understand why now, more than ever before

there's so much momentum around the movement, I've come to meet Bea.

Tutor be to come to their exhibition which is about highlighting the

voices of black women. Each layer is to show that black women are made

from multiple different layers. She's been going to Black Lives

Matter events for several years. Talk to me, what is your life like

in Britain today? Life in Britain 2016 as a black British woman is

very interesting. Every single day I'm talking about diversity on

social media and that's really important for me. The reason I

mention that in 2016, about social media, is because ten years ago

there wasn't this platform. People are saying these marches did nothing

but make people lose support for a movement they perhaps believed in

that order did was cause disruption. For me, the impact and the press it

had, now people know what Black Lives Matter is. People thought it

was just an American issue but when it happened, we were able to enter

our conversation into how it is important in the UK. The UK has a

different fight. The global face of blackness is American so when we

talk about anything today with black people, we instantly think of

America. We even think of Africa. We want to show our brothers and

sisters in America we are standing with them. This country is hands up,

don't handcuff me, I'm not the suspect you thought robbed that car.

My child's life is in jeopardy, if she went to America. She is a black

girl growing up in this country. Her life is also in jeopardy because

people don't view her the same as a white little girl. They look at her

and think is a black little girl and she could be bad. Three different

experiences of life. The sort of problems they spoke to me about

might not seem as dramatic as those in America, but don't forget this is

on top of the fact that black people are more likely to live in poverty.

They are underrepresented in jobs like police chiefs, judges and MPs.

And a black graduate earns 23% less than a white classmate with the same

degree. As filming comes to an end, I'm back

where I started. We are back in south-east London. This is the

estate I grew up on. Some of the best memories of my life were made

here. This is where my attitude towards life in general,

friendships, relationships, was definitely formed on this estate. I

lived there for what, maybe 15 years? I met this man. I've known

him for 20 years in general. Member when you could jump over this

easily? -- remember? Did you feel the system was against it and it

wasn't going to change so you had to give yourself the skills? The poor

working class, it's harder. White, black, Indian, Chinese, it's harder.

Than if I came from the middle class. It's a mindset. In the

school, I'm saying, how long are you going to live for? Until you are 80.

So you want to be a gangster? Between the age of 16-20, you will

go to jail, get in trouble numerous amounts of times and that will shape

your life for the other 60 years. Look at the big picture now. I need

this and that. That's what my brother and uncle does. But you

don't need to do that. I can leave here without saying hello to someone

special. We are just off to see my grandmother who lives on this

estate. Hopefully she is here. It's almost like you knew I was coming.

How are you doing, all right? When I started making this film, it was to

answer a simple question, why are black people in the UK marching? The

answer is simple. It is that feeling, all of black people I've

spoken to can relate to it, the feeling you get when you don't feel

equal. I will see you later, yeah? Bye-bye. I promise I will come

tomorrow. From the time I arrived in the UK to my treatment now, nothing

has changed. The only difference is, with the power of the Black Lives

Matter movement, people are treating it like a brand, something to jump

on. I describe it like a bus heading towards a journey and at the moment,

the bus is travelling as fast as it's ever going to travel so why not

jump on to get to your destination? For me, the journey I have been on

is very real because at the March in Southwark, I wanted held hands with

the other black people and take a stand about injustice. I don't want

to play down those struggles because they are real and what black people

face every day, but my opinion has definitely changed throughout making

this film. Because of the thing for me is, you want to escape the cycle

and we don't want this for our children or our children's children.

Should we, as black people, stop waiting for a saviour, other people

to help us? Stop waiting for the system to help us and take more

responsibility? If we do that, the likes of racism should not affect

us. And you can watch the full Radio 1

Newsbeat documentary That Black British Feeling

on the BBC iPlayer now. Some breaking news to bring you -

Raheem Kassam, a former aide to Nigel Farage,

has dropped out of the race saying "the path to victory

is too narrow". He says the top of the party is

treating this like a Coronation. He's said the disgraceful treatment

by the media and he has also spoken about problems around fundraising,

so he has dropped out of the race to become Ukip leader as a result of

that. He had described himself as the most like Nigel Farage as a

candidate. Our political guru

Norman Smith is here. Herself proclaimed Nigel Farage

candidate is out. Tell us why. It is bizarre, becoming like the political

equivalent of wacky races of people piling off the track and crashing

all over the place. Raheem Kassam is now the third contender to come a

cropper. He doesn't directly say why he is not continuing. The give some

sort of hints, suggesting he was not happy with the integrity of the

election process. That raises questions about whether he thought

it was entirely fair, other candidates would be given a leg up

somehow. He's also not happy about the media coverage, complaining

about journalists doorstepping his parents and he seems to have had an

issue with raising sufficient funds, but we now have in the space of a

month, Diane James, who was actually elected leader, deciding after a

couple of weeks, no, she doesn't want to carry on, suggesting all

sorts of shenanigans going on in the party's National Executive Committee

to stop carrying out the changes she wanted. Then we had fisticuffs

adorned with Stephen Wolf in the European Parliament, when he seemed

to come to blows with another Ukip person. He warned about the party

being in a death spiral and announced he is quitting the party.

Now Raheem Kassam, Nigel Farage's person, his former chief of staff,

he pitched himself as the Nigel Farage candidate. Now he has

announced he is going and it just becomes more and more extraordinary.

He said before he has been targeted by the outrage Brigade, a lot of

criticism for various comments he put out on social media, four letter

word laden tweets. Comments about the SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon. How

much controversy has he attracted? A bit like Nigel Farage, he crosses

the street to look for a bit of controversy. He is someone who is

not shy about expressing his opinions, let put it that way. Some

of the Sunday papers, he was describing one of his competitors,

Suzanne Evans, as the biggest liar ever. He does not hold back in

expressing himself. I don't think it's that sort of controversy which

has forced him to stand down, because he's never been shy about

it. He's not a shrinking violet in that sense. I think the truth

probably lies in that rather they'll suggestion about the integrity of

the process. We're not quite clear what he's talking about there, but

he seems to be suggesting that somehow the contest was rigged. Now,

we don't know the details, but that's what I take from his

suggestion that there was a problem with the integrity of the election

process. So who is the favourite going to be now? Paul Nuttall, who

used to be the number two at Ukip, in the sense that he's a different

kettle of fish to Nigel Farage, but the sort of person who has presented

as someone who can appeal to traditional Labour voters in the

north of England, where many people believe Ukip's future might be in

the post-Brexit world. The other big name is Suzanne Evans. She's found

herself at loggerheads with Nigel Farage, looked to move the party in

a less confrontational way. She has criticised Nigel Farage for budding

up to Donald Trump, that sort of thing, so she has a much more media

savvy approach about trying to reposition Ukip. Those will be the

two main contenders. The last two still standing. Norman, thank you

very much. Are schools letting

down adopted children? We speak to a father of two adopted

children and an organisation trying to get teachers

trained to cope better. Kerry says, "We adopted a girl

when she was 18 months old. She struggled when she started

school but they helped her extremely well considering they'd

only had a couple of Now she's a little high flyer,

thanks to the school's early We will be talking about it a little

bit later. Time now for a look at the weather. How are things looking?

A very murky start. This was the scene at Tower Bridge in the fog in

London. We had some poor visibility, below 100 metres across the

Midlands, towards eastern areas of Wales. The worst visibility, the fog

lifted a low cloud, and the last of it dispersing into the early

afternoon to leave some sunshine. A warm day for the time of year with

highs between 14-18. A weather front across the North of Scotland. It

won't move very far during today but overnight tonight it will push

southwards ringing damp weather across Northern Ireland, and the

rain moving into northern England by the end of the night. Again we are

likely to see some further dense patches of mist and fog forming

across England and Wales. Cold in Scotland, touches of frost in rural

parts to end the night. That is a sign of things to come because our

weather is going to get much colder over the next few days. We have to

look into the Arctic to find the answer because that is where the

wind is going to be coming from over the next few days, ringing colder

air. In London today, 18 degrees, by Wednesday, 11. Seven Celsius drop in

temperatures on the way over the next few days. That is your weather.

Hello, just before the 10am on Monday. Welcome to the programme.

Our top story today, could Hillary Clinton lose the election because of

the FBI's e-mail investigation? Polls are tightening the just over a

week to go leading Democrats to say the head of the FBI may have broken

the law. The FBI is reopening

the investigation into the criminal and illegal conduct of Hillary

Clinton. Voters deserve to get

full and complete facts. And so we called an director

James Comey to explain everything right away,

put it all out on the table. Also on the programme -

are drug fix rooms - where addicts can inject heroin

safely - a good idea? Glasgow's likely to give

the go-ahead to one later today. This is a crisis and a crisis needs

a pragmatic evidence -based response. The reality is safer

injecting facilities are a way to reduce drug-related deaths, overdose

fatalities. That story has got a lot of you getting in touch. An

anonymous watcher says "I'm a heroin addict, these shooting galleries are

mainly used by homeless street addicts. The first thing these

people need is help with housing and then help getting clean." We'll be

speaking with people who run fix rooms in Amsterdam and Copenhagen

before 11am. Dealing with the death

of a child is tragic enough, but having to get into debt in order

to bury them brings We'll be talking to one MP who had

to take out a loan just so she could afford to bury her

eight-year-old son - she is now campaigning

to end council charges We will speak to her live this

morning. Here's the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news. Raheem Kassam former aide to Nigel

Farage has dropped out of the race to become Ukip leader. He said his

path to victory is too narrow and that the top of the party is

treating the contest as a coronation. He's given his backing

to London assembly member Peter Whittle. The race was triggered when

Diane James stood down days after her election as leader.

The Democratic leader in the US Senate says the head of the FBI may

have broken the law by revealing the bureau was investigating emails

Harry Reid accused FBI director James Comey of violating an act

Lewis Hamilton certainly looks like he's back in the winning groove in

Formula 1, but he says he might have left it too late. He took the

chequered flag at the Mexican Grand Prix to cut Nico Rosberg's lead in

the drivers championship to just 19 points. He's won back-to-back races

now, but there are only two races left to go this season and Rosberg

who finished second in Mexico needs just one more win to seal his first

title. Daniel Ricardo was eventually promoted to third. Sebastian Vettel

was demoted as was Max Verstappen before him. After ten matches one

point separates the top four teams in the Premier League. Manchester

City, Arsenal and Liverpool lead the way on 23 points, but Chelsea are

the form side at the moment. They made it four wins in a row with a

2-0 victory at Southampton. Eden Hazzard scored their first, Diego

Costa with the second at St Mary 's. That sees them storm to fourth in

the table. I'm very happy. When you see this type of game and you see

this commitment of all your players, you must be satisfied. When you see

your players that work so hard to win, show you the will to win, it's

fantastic for a coach. Four in a row for Chelsea. Andy Murray has won his

third title in a row and seventh of an incredible season. This time next

week he could be world number one for the first time. He beat

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to take the Vienna open. The tour now moves on

to Paris. If Andy Murray wins that title and Novak Djokovic fails to

reach the final in Paris the Serb will drop off the top of the

rankings. Sir Bradley Wiggins bowed out in front of his home crowd

yesterday with a second-place finish at the London six-day event. Wiggins

and Mark Cavendish were racing together. They were beaten in the

final race by a Belgian pair. He is due to retire in November. But he

did hint that he might change his mind. He's enjoyed himself so much

in London, he says. The headlines in half an hour. 80% of people in the

UK are in work but if you are disabled that figure drops to 50%.

For some people their illness or disability means they'll never be

able to work but others could with the right support. The problem is

how you decide who falls into which category. The current work

capability assessment has been branded fundamentally flawed and

today the government is announcing a consultation on it. We can speak to

the Minister for disabled people and a two people who have been affected

by the work capability assessment. One has a number of conditions which

make it difficult for him to walk. He's been told twice he is fit to

work before that decision was overturned. And the guest who has

Parkinson's and has successfully appealed against a decision she was

fit to work. Tell us about the assessment you had because it was

subsequently overturned but you were told you were fit to work, how did

you feel going through that process? Good morning. The process was very,

very painful and degrading. If you suffer from arthritis, rheumatoid

and osteo, some days you could walk, some days you cannot. And you cannot

pick and choose. The day I went there I was feeling rather good. As

a result of it, the assessor ignored all the medical results, all the

medical evidence and treatments and investigation, and he said I was fit

to work and to go back to work. And that was in February this year.

Would you have wanted to go back to work? I would love to go to work. I

would love to be able to come back and be who I was before. For 50

years I worked and I paid my national insurance and helped people

and they helped me. But now, when I come to the point that this is what

I've paid for, my national insurance and taxes to look after me when it

comes to this sort of situation, and they are just pushing you and

treating you like a criminal. You have to continuously prove that you

are looking for a job while you are attending the hospital and

treatment. Psychologically, it really affects people and I had a

nervous breakdown as a result of that. Very, very bad, and I'm very

lucky I've got a family who kind of give me encouragement to carry on

and fight. Diane, what has happened with you? You are diagnosed with

Parkinson's four years ago and were found to be fit to work. When I was

first put on ESA I was put in a support group and I moved down to

Wales. For some reason might ESA stopped. I had to reapply, because

they said I'd asked them to finish paying me. I was put in the

work-related activity group and I was absolutely worried sick. I was

dreading every envelope coming through the door, waiting for this

work capability assessment. I was being asked for sick notes from my

doctor. I'd taken ill-health retirement so I had no reason to

need a sick note. I was constantly being asked and told I wouldn't get

any money unless I produced them, and it just went on and on. I was

getting myself in such a state my symptoms were worsening. I was

getting so stressed about the situation. My local support worker

was writing letters and making phone calls on my behalf. It was an

endless battle. Suddenly I got a letter saying I was being reassessed

and I was back in the support group. I don't know why I was put through

so much trauma. The fact that I would love to work, I had to give up

work because I'm not capable. Some days I can't even get out of bed.

When your condition is so unpredictable, how can you hold down

a job? It's a degenerative condition and the word degenerative itself

means to become functionally useless. To be told you might get

better and be able to go back to work is insulting beyond belief.

Penny, what do you think when you hear Bahram and Diane talking about

what they've experienced? I think your guests outlined some of the

flaws with the existing process and in particular the work capability

assessment. We are already doing some things to address some of the

points that they have raised. We are dramatically reducing the number of

people having to go to appeal to get the right decision by ensuring that

health care information submitted earlier in the process. We've

already announced we're going to stop retests and re-examination of

people who have degenerative conditions. There's no point in

doing that, it's stressful for them and additional bureaucracy. But

there are further things that we want to do. That's why we are

publishing the green paper today which will consult more on a raft of

issues for employers, for allsorts of other things, health trials. It

will also look at the work capability assessment and ask more

probing questions. The government wants to reduce the disability

employment gap. There is a marked difference with non-disabled people

biking. When there is a target like that does that mean there will

always be a drive that will put people through the sort of

situations we are hearing? Does sometimes common sense go out the

window when there is a policy view driving what happens? This green

paper is about putting that common sense back in place. We have been

treating people as though they are part of a sausage factory. The work

capability assessment has been, as well as the process being far from

ideal as your other guests have outlined, it puts people in one of

two camps. Can work, can't work. Clearly that's not remotely helpful.

Ironically the people who need the most support don't have access to

it. What we want to do is look at that fundamental aspect of the

assessment process. We want to make the process better by having all the

bits of government joined up better, so people aren't having to

continually fill out forms or submit the same bit of evidence several

times over. We also want to ensure that the end of that process, we're

a position to be giving the support that that person needs. Whether they

are going to be in work full time, whether they just want to be

meaningful activity or whether they are unable to work. At what point

does an assessment get made that actually the situation is as it is?

If that were to be the case, it is as it is, we can't squeeze any more,

actually people do want to work but for whatever reason they aren't able

to because of what is required by employers or the fact their

situation isn't going to get any better, and just leave it at that.

And if that requires extra financial resources, it will be found. People

who can't work or who need income support will always get that. What

we are focused on today is those people that do want to work, that

have tremendous talents and skills to offer. Disabled people are the

most entrepreneurial people on the planet. A quarter of our new

employment allowance went to disabled people over the last year.

What we are talking about is enabling people to achieve their

ambitions and enabling employers to benefit from that. That's what we

haven't been doing as well as we should do date, and that's what

we're looking to address in the green paper today. Bahram you were

shaking your head, why is that? Yes, yes. This is, forgive me, it's a bit

of a nonsense what has happened in the past. I welcome a change for the

future. But I'm going to ask one question from Penny. Why on earth

the government reduces the people on disability or work-related activity

by ?30 a week? There were 309 MPs who actually signed this to take

place. They reduced the money that most people needed to live on, while

they gave themselves a pay rise. It just doesn't make sense.

To know how long it will take for people to ring the Department for

Work and Pensions? I could show you my telephone. 35 minutes just

waiting for someone just to answer. If I tell you that the result I come

out with, even the assessor doesn't have my file, doesn't know where I

am, asks me to apply again. In response to those two points, first

of all, on the so-called RAG group, that is not going to apply to people

who are currently receiving benefits, so there will be no cash

and losers in this. That group, we also announcing today, will achieve

some additional support. 13 new measures put together by patient

support groups, employers themselves, one example being access

to occupational health services. And on the last point, about how all of

this is delivered, of course, even if we get the policy absolutely

right and I hope we will get a better result through this

consultation about the assessment process, much of this is about

delivery. It's about the experience of an individual who quite often may

have had some traumatic event in their life, may have lost work

because of the situations and obstacles they've had to overcome,

those people we need to ensure that we are supporting them throughout

the whole process and that means how we deliver that, how people can

access our services, just a few weeks ago for example, we put for

the first time our access to work scheme, which is a really popular

scheme, online for the first time. The average amount of time to access

that is 20 minutes now, so we're looking at improving all of these

things but we need to do more fundamental things to really deliver

the tailored support people need and that's why we have published this

paper today. I encourage everyone, local groups, we produced a

consultation pack to enable them to get involved. We need your input,

advice, to make this work. Thank you very much. I know you have got to

go, so we will let you go, thank you. I wanted, Diane, to ask you, if

you are reassured by what you heard from penny because she said people

with degenerative illnesses like you will not keep being reassessed in

the future. That is good news but I mean, at the time, I went for about

three or four months with no money at all. They stopped my money

because I didn't provide thick notes. My GP can understand why I

needed them because I had taken retirement. It's all right saying

they are going to be reassuring to people with degenerative conditions,

but if people still being put through this situation, they

shouldn't have to go through it. It's an unnecessary stress. An

unnecessary worry, and when you are dreading the postman coming down the

path because a brown envelope will come through your door asking for

another thick note, a hospital appointment, and assessment, it is

very, very stressful. They need to consider the individuals and how

much stress it puts on them and their families, as well. I mean, I

was lucky because I had a fantastic support worker who did a lot of my

phone calls and letters for me and I think, without her, I don't know how

would got through it. Thank you very much both of you. I want to bring in

some comments. "I Was told by the DWP I am fit for work because I

attended doctors appointments." I have been signed off by Mike GP by

March so why is his word not good enough to say I am not fit for work

-- my GP. Thank you for all of your comments. Do keep them coming in.

Next, will this man - former reality TV star

and billionaire Donald Trump, or this woman - former First Lady

and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -

There's a week and a day till the American nation

goes to the polls - and Hillary Clinton's

The BBC's poll of polls shows Donald Trump at 46%

and Hillary Clinton at 49% - as you can see several days ago

But her campaign's been rocked by another FBI investigation

The most senior Democrat in the US Senate, Harry Reid,

has suggested that the head of the FBI may have broken the law

by releasing details of a new investigation

into her emails - so close to the presidential election.

Here's how both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have responded.

So we don't know the facts, which is why we are calling

on the FBI to release all the information that it has.

Even Director Comey noted that this new information

may not be significant, so let's get it out.

The investigation is the biggest political scandal since Watergate,

and it's everybody's hope that justice, at last, can be delivered.

We can speak now to Jan Halper-Hayes from Republicans overseas -

She wants a Trump victory on November the 8th -

and we also have Ebs Burnough, he's a former White House Social

Secretary to President Obama and senior political director

He's supporting Hillary Clinton in the elections.

What you think the impact of could be? It is long on innuendo, short on

facts, and virtually absent of any substance. This letter the director

sent to Congress has no... It's a fishing expedition and the sad thing

is the director has input the FBI into the middle of a presidential

election. When something comes to light which might be pertinent to

something ring investigated, what else could he have done? The

fundamental issue is there's no smoking gun what this letter says

is, we are going to look at e-mail that may or may not be pertinent.

What's wrong with that? By doing it right in the middle of a

presidential election, that should be done with more substance to bear.

But letter should have gone to Congress, a subpoena could be issued

prior to the Congress, but there should be more detail into what

exactly this is, especially realising the massive impact this

would have 11 days before a presidential election. Did he break

the law by inserting the FBI into a presidential campaign? What do you

think? I think the polls right now don't fully tell us the impact of

this. Chicago Tribune has asked her to stand down. Some of her strongest

advocates have asked her to stand down and have said they are not

supporting her any more. When you say the polls on showing the full

effect, the poll of polls shows a narrowing, 49-46. Are you saying

it's even tighter than that? I think we'll look at the polls in a couple

of days and it will get tighter. There have been a couple of things

to have changed the polls and impacted Hillary Clinton. One is

Obama care, and that is causing a major uproar in the States because

of the increase in premiums. A friend of mine in Arizona, family of

three years to pay $1000 a month for his insurers but now it's over 2000.

Each family member has to pay 5000 in their deductibles before they

even get any money back. There is a pay for play which has come out. The

WikiLeaks members from her campaign manager, her chairman,. These are

all things which are being out there. This latest FBI

investigation, due think it will be a game changer? Yes, the final game

changer. Talking of Arizona, the fact Hillary Clinton it up by

minuscule numbers in Arizona, Georgia, states which are

traditional Republican,... They have flipped. Look at the BBC poll of

polls. I do agree we have not seen the impact of any of this. We

haven't begun to talk about long-term trump a senior aide and

his collusion with Vladimir Putin. I know you love to blame the Russians

are everything. And the involvement in WikiLeaks and so forth. Tapping

into the US government. The bigger issue here is there a 21 million

votes already cast. That has to go forward. Most of those votes have

been strongly for Secretary Clinton. Just a minute. The states have come

out over the weekend and said if people want to vote again and pull

their votes back, they are allowed to do that because of this

information. I have not had that, actually. Whatever happens, has

there ever been a more vitriolic, bitter election campaign in US

presidential history? No. Whoever winds, are they going to be the most

unpopular president? Hillary Clinton is the worst of the worst of

government. Donald Trump is the worst of culture and reality TV.

People ask, 330 million people, and you give us these candidates? We

know Secretary Clinton has proven itself as a senator, a first lady, a

woman of the world, Secretary of State. She not only has the but the

skill set and the love of country to attempt to reunite this country

after a very vitriolic election. I know the vast majority of Americans

never Donald Trump does not have a great temper meant to be president.

Not much longer to go. Who knows what twists and turns lie ahead. At

the beginning of the season, I said wait a couple of weeks and now we

wait a couple of hours for things to change. Thank you both very much.

Thank you. Arguments over NHS funding,

as the chairwoman of the Commons Health Committee warns

the government that it is giving the misleading impression

that the health service in England is "awash with cash" -

we'll be speaking to her. If you've adopted children -

do you get enough support The charity Adoption UK believes

many teachers don't understand how best to help adopted children,

or those in care. It says they often struggle to trust

adults, and consequently do worse We can talk now to Hugh Thornbery,

the Chief Executive of Adoption UK and Andy Hatton, who is dad to two

adopted girls aged seven and six. J J Cassidy got in touch with us. He

adopted a son at the age of four. He didn't have the right support from

his school. What was your experience? My experience was we

went into a school that had a sinkhole, not fit for purpose, and

the School has fortunately turned around. They've got good, and it's

very much, the concentration is not there on the children, and their

needs, and picking their needs are quickly enough, then the child's

mother was education will suffer. The phrase being used to describe

kids who are in this situation is attachment disorder. Not everyone

will be familiar so explain it. Basically, children with a difficult

start in life, not been able to develop relationships. Most children

as babies would find relationships with their parents in other aspects

of their life. It's simple to understand but to deal with it is

complex. Very hard. We heard from JJ, at the moment, many schools

struggle to understand these children, therefore manage them in

the classroom. Other schools do a very, very good job. We are calling

for alongside the Nu T is better awareness across all schools in the

country about the needs of these children. You adopted a couple of

children, Andy. Have you experienced this? We have. The eldest girl, when

she first came to us, she really struggle to develop bonds with

anything. She has no favourite teddy, favourite toys, and it took a

long time before she actually started to identify things. We knew

that was because she'd been moved from home to home, she'd never been

able to settle, never had anything permanent in her life, so when she

went to school obviously that started to manifest itself in here

being quite withdrawn. A way of dealing with things was she would

draw into herself and with said, she is a daydreamer, she's not paying

attention. If you look at statistics, just 49% of adopted

children will reach their expected levels of Key stage two compared to

75% of their peers, so it's clear it's something which has to be

addressed, and not just left something which is potentially a

natural way for that child to be. What have you found to be the best

ways of dealing with it? We were very fortunate, when the girls came

to us, we looked around at different schools. We were able to choose a

school before would be best for our children. They had a parent liaison

officer in the school. She was very understanding. A mistake that we

made was that we just said to people, the girls were adopted. And

we kind of assumed that teachers, being trained professionals, they

would understand what that meant. Why was that a mistake you made?

Because it made an assumption. Not assuming it would lead to... We

assumed they would understand what it meant. Early on, according to the

school, our eldest daughter was having developmental issues and

explained the background and history of where should come from,, OK, now

we understand. That explains an awful lot. And they were able to

take action and sort things out. Is it incumbent on the parents to

spell out and not assume the school will do the right thing? Adoption

works really well because the adoptive parents get really good

knowledge and understand their children. We shouldn't allow this

just to fool on the responsibility of the adoptive parents -- fall on

the responsibility. We want schools to have greater understanding and

awareness which is why we are publishing guidance today. Beyond

that it's important that within the classroom, classroom teachers

understand how these children might behave and understand how to respond

to that. The traditional approach is behavioural management, that doesn't

work with these children. They need greater focus on relationships.

Presumably it's resource heavy for a school? No, and I think if you do

this right it's less of a drain on resources. The government commits

?1900 per year to children adopted from Kent to schools. There is

additional funding for them to be able to buy training, counselling

support, or to provide one-to-one support for children. David on

Facebook says teachers Harv are hard enough job as it is without people

expecting them to be social workers as well. Another viewer says

teachers need to be sensitive to the needs of all their children. Family

tree work or bringing in baby pictures can be a problem. Is that

something you've experienced? We have never hidden the fact the girls

were adopted but we don't advertise it. We've always said we just want

to be a normal family so we try and be as normal as possible. Early on

there was a bring your baby photos to school. How did you handle that?

We give them photographs of when they were toddlers. They went babies

but we had photos of them when they were very young. It was quite

noticeable when they pinned the pictures up that everyone else had

baby photos and we didn't. No one commented on it. But it made us feel

slightly uncomfortable. Thank you very much for talking to us.

in the next hour and beyond. A group of MPs says the government

is wrong to keep claiming it's giving an extra ?10 billion

to the NHS in England over The Health Committee has written

to the chancellor to say using the figure gives the "false

impression that the NHS We can speak now to

Doctor Sarah Wollaston, the Conservative chair of the group

of MPs who look at health matters. Is this a lie? It is giving an

impression that the NHS is awash with cash when in fact health and

social care is under enormous financial pressure. We've written to

the Chancellor to set out why we think this is the wrong figure and

what we feel he needs to look at in his Autumn Statement. They aren't

mutually exclusive. You could be giving ?10 billion but it's not

necessarily the case it is awash with cash. You saying that the ?10

billion isn't the case? You can see how this figure has been arrived at

but it's been arrived by adding an extra year to the spending review

period which wouldn't normally be done. It's also referring

specifically to a part of the health budget called the NHS England

budget. That's been boosted by shifting money from other important

parts of health spending like public health and the budgets we use for

training and education. You can end up making one budget look bigger by

moving it from other areas that are essential. I didn't think anyone is

under the impression the NHS is awash with cash, are they? It's

clear budgets are tight but the NHS is getting extra funding. The point

is that inflation for the health service and social care runs far

higher. If you look at the change in our population, we've had a 21%

increase in the number of people over 65 in the last decade and 31%

increase in the number of people over 85. Those kind of changes to

our population puts pressure on. How do you address that? What with the

funding be do you think? What we're saying is look at health and social

care together rather than separate them. And bear in mind that unless

we are focusing on things like prevention for the future, training

our future workforce, all these things will add to future costs in

the NHS. We are saying that we need to have a sustainable future funding

model. There are lots of options up the. One thing is to show that

health and social care will be sinking further into crisis over the

next few years unless something is done to address that. Saying that

its ten unfortunately makes it much harder to argue for more spending.

We need to use the right figure which is 4.5 billion. We have got

some breaking news to bring new from the courts. An interesting ruling on

joint enterprise which is a law that allows people to be convicted of

murder even if they do not inflict the fatal blow. Leading judges have

refused to overturn guilty verdicts in what was the first test case

joint enterprise challenge brought up a Supreme Court ruling raised the

possibility hundreds of convictions could be unsafe. The Court of Appeal

was ruling today on the cases of 12 men who have appealed their

convictions of a murder under the joint enterprise rule. It follows an

from the Supreme Court ruling that found judges have been supplying the

wrath of 30 years and foresight of a fatal attack is not necessarily

enough for a jury to convicted defendant of manslaughter. This was

the first case following on from that ruling that was challenging the

convictions of 12 men. They've lost their case. The judges in this case

have refused to overturn the guilty verdicts. An interesting ruling. We

will bring you more reaction from the court.

An MP who was forced to borrow money and take out a loan

just so she could afford to bury her eight-year-old son

who was killed in a road accident - is speaking out for the first time

about what she describes as the "darkest period of her life".

Carolyn Harris - the Labour MP for Swansea East -

was left with a ?1700 funeral bill - which she couldn't afford -

for her son Martin who was killed in 1989.

Now she is backing a new campaign to end council charges

Thank you so much for coming in. Just to go back to what happened to

you. You were a young mum, a divorced mum in 1989. You had two

sons and you're out in the country when Martin was killed in a road

accident. You described the two years that followed that, any parent

could understand it exactly how you felt, as the darkest period of your

life. What was it like? It must have been horrendous. It's beyond words.

You can't imagine. You wake up every day and you have a different

sensation. You just learn to live with that awful emptiness, the ache

and the guilt. The anger. And you try to compensate by, for me it was

to visit Martin's grave, every day if I could. Put flowers on his

grave. You just can't believe this has happened to you. You never ever

get over it. What kept you going? My three-year-old son. Stewart. He is

now 31. I made a calculated decision, which one of my boys

needed me more. I was able to bury Martin with my grandparents are the

calculation was they were with grandma and grandpa. Stuart couldn't

have coped with losing his mum and brother so close together so I was

therefore Stuart. You were going through that, you had to then find a

money to pay for a funeral that you didn't want to even be planning.

Nobody expects to bury their child so no one expects to bury their

child. Last time I saw Martin he was a bouncy happy child. You don't

expect to lose him. When you are asked about things at the funeral,

you don't think how much is that going to cost. You just think, this

is my child, whatever I need to do, I will have. I know that I had

several cars because we took Martin to church the night before. We had

to funerals in effect. The undertaker was wonderful, he gave me

massive discounts, I know he did, as did my church and might occur. The

biggest cost was the actual burial cost because I was reopening the

grave, which was quite expensive. When you see it in the cold light of

day a month later written on paper, apart from the fact it looks really

cold and you think, my God, where am I going to get this money from? We

were fortunate that my husband is from a really close community, as I

am. His mates in the pub did a whip around and they turned up out of the

blue with ?1000 which left us with ?750. My mother and father offered

to help us but my husband and I wanted to do it ourselves. Martin

was my son and David wanted to support me in burying him. That

shouldn't have to happen, the worst time of your life, having to

scrabble around. I can remember sitting in the house, there were no

mobiles then, waiting for David to phone me from the phone box outside

the bank to say we've got the ?750. You then were not an MP. I had been

a barmaid. I was looking after the kids then. Two years later, when I

came out of this place, I worked as a dinner lady with mentally

handicapped children. And physically handicapped children. I just wanted

to do something, working with kids, who maybe didn't have the advantage

is my son had had. Good health. From there, I got involved with all sorts

of things, political, and ended up going to university at 34. I think

it was losing Martin, probably, the catalyst for me and wanting to never

be in that position again that I couldn't afford to provide for my

children because my kids never went without. At that time, when I just

didn't have the money, to pay for it. Now you are in a position where

you can affect change. What do you want to see happen? I don't want any

other parent to have that awful worry of where we are going to get

the money from? 5000 kids will pass away in this country every year,

4000 of those will be babies. You can't imagine what that feels like,

that pain is absolutely unimaginable. Unless you've been

there, you can't experience it. If the only thing we can do to make it

slightly more restful for the parents, is not to have to worry

about the cost of the funeral, it's not something any mother should be

worrying about. What reaction had you had politically? I've not gone

on Twitter. Other people have treated, and gone on Facebook, and
