Hello it's Monday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

This morning, children living with facial disfigurements tell us

about the bullying they're subjected to.

I wasn't pretty enough to be in their group, they didn't want to be

friends with me because I was wet, I looked different and didn't match

them. They left me and isolated me. -- I was weird.

One child was told "I'd kill myself if I looked like you" -

we'll get reaction and ask if schools should do

more to educate children about facial disfigurements.

Also on the programme, as seven football clubs are linked

to allegations of historical child sex abuse, we ask mums and dads

watching their children play football in one junior

league their reaction to the revelations.

Very sad to think that you leave your children with someone you

trust, and they are taken advantage of. It's just dreadful, absolutely

dreadful. Their childhood has been taken away.

And - they're out, no more of this year's novelty acts

When I say honey, you say G. When I say honey, you say G.

Hello, welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

Throughout the programme, we'll bring you the latest breaking news

And we're really keen to hear your views

on all the stories we're talking about.

After 10.30 we'll be discussing IVF -

a new study suggests almost none of the costly "add on" treatments

offered by fertility clinics to boost success rates are backed up

by scientific evidence proving that they actually work.

If you've used them, do get in touch to share your experiences -

Our top story this morning - another legal challenge over Brexit.

Pro-EU campaigners are seeking support from judges

for their argument that Britain has to take separate action to leave

the European Economic Area, known as the EEA, which gives us

access to the single market and allows the free movement

They say the UK will not leave that automatically when it leaves

the European Union, and it should be up to MPs to decide.

But the government says membership of the EEA ends

I really hope you are following this. If not, we have got Norman.

Start from the beginning. It is complicated, but the topline is the

country is facing a potential double legal whammy over Brexit. Ministers

are already facing a challenge in the courts to trigger Article 50, to

leave the EU. Now some legal eagles have come up with a second challenge

about leaving the single market. What it all boils down to is we are

members of the single market for two reasons. One, we are in the EU, but

we also in this other thing, the European economic area. And the

argument of the legal eagles is we may leave the EU but we will still

be in the European economic area, so we will still be in the single

market. So they are now watching a legal challenge to say, in effect,

if we are going to leave single market, the EEA, it is going to have

to be approved by parliament. Almost a mirror image copy over the

challenge of Article 50. Why this matters is the danger of the

government sinking into a legal quagmire, dragging on for months and

months. And there is one other issue. If we stay in the single

market, then we will have to allow free movement. In other words, it

will put the kibosh on Mrs May's attempt to curb migration from the

EU into Britain. So potentially this could matter big-time. Understood.

The Polish Prime Minister is in town meeting Theresa May. What can we

expect? It is symbolic, a big Fandango of a meeting, they have

come over with a whole load of Cameron ministers, meeting our

Cabinet Ministers and it is designed to send a message. The message is

that we are still going to be friends with other countries. -- a

whole load of Cabinet Ministers. So we can still have good relationships

with other EU countries. There is a second part to it. We are going to

agree to send some of our soldiers to the Polish border. A lot of

people suspect we are giving them a nudge and a wink, saying, you know

what, we're going to give you some troops, maybe you can cut us a deal

when it comes to Brexit. There is a suspicion that that is what today's

talks are about. Joanna Gosling is in the BBC

none of the so-called "add on" treatments offered by fertility

clinics to boost IVF success rates are backed up

by scientific evidence. The research was commissioned

by the BBC's Panorama programme, and is also published

in the British Medical Journal. It found that of the 27 different

treatments examined, only one was supported by even

moderate evidence that it could increase the chances

of having a baby. The extra procedures

can cost up to ?3,500 Fertility problems affect about one

in seven couples in the UK and treatment when not funded

by the NHS may run into tens Even reputable fertility clinics

offer a wide range of additional treatments designed to improve

the chances of IVF working and these Embryos are put in special devices,

there are additional But Panorama, which worked

with the University of Oxford, found nearly every enhancement

examined lacked high-quality evidence to show it made the process

any more likely to result Some of these treatments are of no

benefit to you whatsoever and some I can't understand how this has been

allowed to happen in the UK. Jessica Hepburn spent ?70,000 on 11

what doctors tell us. And this is a doctor that

has limited powers to prevent the add-ons being sold

costly decisions when they're desperate for success and they may

be of no benefit. The UK Independence Party

Diane James, stepped down after less The three candidates are the former

deputy leader Paul Nuttall, former deputy chairman Suzanne Evans

in a special report at 9.15am. Ed Balls has left Strictly Come

Dancing. He was a surprise star of the series, entertaining fans with

memorable moves despite being bottom of the scoreboard. But this week,

the public vote failed to save him and his partner.

If people watching have had half the fun I've had learning to dance

with Katya then they must have had a complete blast because it's

The judges, all the supporters, the make-up team, the wardrobe,

in particular that band are the best in the world.

Some comments from you on facial discrimination. Suzanne: children

should not experienced name-calling or worse just because they are

different. Susan: when you have anything different, someone will

always want to use it to hurt you. What satisfaction they get, who

knows? Some people are ignorant and nasty. Still today people will sit

there and make comments, even if they don't know you? Why? Marion: we

are too preoccupied with looks and this needs stamping out. Good on you

for highlighting it. The film is coming up in the next couple of

minutes. Now some sport. Lewis Hamilton won

the final Formula 1 race of the season but his team-mate Nico

Rosberg won the Drivers' Championship, although team-mates, I

use the word loosely! It has been a fascinating battle in

the second half of the season. They drive for Mercedes but it has been a

fractious friendship, if you can even call it friendship. The final

race was in Abu Dhabi and Hamilton had to win the race and he needed

Nico Rosberg to finish in fourth all over, so Hamilton on pole was

deliberately driving slowly in an attempt to push Nico Rosberg into

the other drivers behind him. Hamilton was repeatedly told by his

team to speed up. He told them, let us race. It has been described as

dirty tactics. It didn't quite work. Nico Rosberg, celebrating becoming

world champion for the first time in his career. Something his father did

in 1982. Hamilton is the one people were talking about. This is Rosberg

celebrating by doing doughnuts. It certainly meant a dramatic final

race of the season. Rosberg winning by five points in the end. Jose

Mourinho is in trouble again. He's like a little boy, isn't he? You

could say that. He was sent to the stands by the referee for the second

time in two months, this time in the 1-1 draw against West Ham. He was

annoyed by a yellow card given to Paul Pogba, as the referee felt that

he dived. Kicking a water bottle. That got him sent to the stands by

John Moss, the referee. He was also dismissed last month by a different

referee and he was banned and find after the match against Burnley. The

yellow card means Paul Pogba is suspended for the League Cup

quarterfinal against West Ham, the team they were playing yesterday.

Manchester United, 11 points behind the league leaders Chelsea.

Frustration all round. Finally tennis, a moment of compassion in a

hard-fought Davis Cup match. If you think Andy Murray is emotional,

watch on Martin del Potro. Great Britain won the Davis Cup last year.

This time it was Argentina against Croatia, and the Argentina fans are

extraordinarily passionate. It was like being at a football match, del

Potro in the Olympics. The fans are so noisy, they don't abide by the

rules. Among the passion, Marin Cilic's serves, he hit a ball girl

and del Potro stopped the match to make sure she was OK. This was an

important match, the reverse singles, Argentina were 3-1 down by

this point. She is crying. Del Potro asks for a replacement to be brought

on. You can see the fans really enjoying the situation. She goes

off, and actually del Potro goes on to win the match. Argentina went on

to win the Davis Cup for the first time in their history, 3-2 against

Croatia. The fans loved it and there was also a special Argentine there,

Maradona enjoyed the occasion. He went a bit bonkers at some of the

points. Argentina winning the Davis Cup. You can see him there.

Argentina win the Davis Cup for the first time.

"I'd kill myself if I had a face like yours."

What one young boy with facial disfigurements was told.

This morning we're going to be looking at the kind of abuse

The UK's leading charity on facial abnormalities, Changing Faces,

has told this programme face discrimination could even be worse

than other forms, like racism, because very little is being done

They want to roll out an education programme across schools nationally

Our reporter Ashley John-Baptiste has been to meet children who've

faced their own private struggles just because of their faces.

The twin who doesn't look like the other.

We can hear what people say and we can see that they are looking

When I walk into town, I get stared at a lot.

One guy said that I would be way hotter if I didn't have

facial palsy and he would date me if I didn't.

Different stories, but similar experiences.

We are going to meet the children who are stared at, laughed at,

We want to know how they and their families cope.

It's like a grieving process, you haven't had the child that

And we are testing whether the ground-breaking face pulling

lessons are changing the way that children think.

I want to see the world through the eyes of children that

Billy's family have struggled to even take him out in public.

At times it can be soul destroying, it really can because as a parent

So you can see that his head is not a normal shape.

He is a twin and he was born with a syndrome.

All of this part here around his nose.

The paediatric registrar didn't even refer to Billy as a baby,

he just said, "I have never seen anything like it before".

You have had kids who have seen Billy and have started crying.

Not just crying, hysterically crying.

Because they are scared of him and they think

Billy is still really young, he is nine years old.

Massively, because there is so much prejudice with

He would just say, "Why is that boy staring at me or pointing at me?"

You don't want to keep saying to him, well, your face

is different, that is why they are looking at you all

Marcus' disfigurement is just skin deep.

He is 12 and he is a talented trampolinist.

But he was born with a cleft, a gap in his face.

In reception, I was the boy with a face.

I was actually bullied because of the way that your face looks?

Yes, some people have called me Scarface.

One time, I was ten, someone came up to me and said,

if they looks like me, they would kill themselves.

After when I came home I just burst into tears.

I thought right I think I need to go to school and sort it out.

And he said, don't, you will just make things worse

They don't listen, I tell the teachers and nothing changes,

And I got in touch with Changing Faces.

And they came to school, and spoke to the school about how

The charity Changing Faces deals with face discrimination, set up

Every single social interaction is problematic and so is what was

going on here because my brain was saying people like you,

people like you, looking like that, don't succeed.

This kind of preconception about disfigurement happens

Impressionable minds will pick up these things very quickly.

This short survey is about the general public's

We have asked a research company to come and test year fives,

The children are being shown a series of faces and they have

to match positive words like at the unsuccessful,

or negative words like sad and I'm confident with the photos.

Because it is your brain reaction, you can't cheat it.

This is kind of an experiment for us.

This test has never been used with children before

and we are looking at how quickly people can associate positive words

with images with people with facial disfigurement.

Tests like this are used across the world to find out

what we really think on subjects such as gender,

People with facial disfigurements, are they as likely as being

disfigured against as black people, women or gay people?

I think that it is, as painful, but I don't think it is recognised.

Virtually everyone who takes this is slower to be positive

towards disfigured faces but the question is,

Although you are slower at associating positive values

of people with facial disfigurements is, you are only 11% slower.

Adults in the UK that we have tested before at a score of 27%.

The classes much more positive about facial disfigurement

than the UK in general but the children are about to get

We will test them tomorrow to see if there is a difference

Looking different is tough for any kid, especially

when you are a teenage girl and image is everything.

I have come to Somerset, to talk to a young girl,

that has a facial condition that means that she can't smile.

Mainly that I was not pretty enough to be in their group and they did

not want to be friends with me because I was weird or I looks

not want to be friends with me because I was weird or I looked

They just all left me and isolated me because of my face.

Before the surgery with a smile, you can see happy little girl.

Caitlin was only a little baby before she developed

They took the whole tumour out and while doing that,

they called the smiling nerve and as a result of that,

So the whole side of her face dropped.

I took are to have her photo taken with her brother

and the photographer said, "Mum, what is she doing with her face?"

And I was "what do you mean", and she said that silly face

that she is pulling, and that is a photographer

in a preschool and that is the first time that I broke down

The preschool leader was trying to calm it all down

and that is the point that I realise that nothing was going to be

As a 14-year-old teenage girl, how important is image to you?

I think very important, that is where everyone really

On my Instagram comments, sometimes I get oh you are ugly,

or you shouldn't be taking pictures like that.

So I started taking pictures of half of my face instead of my whole face.

The whole time, I put a lot of make up my eyes to distract people

Seeing that children have two become resilient in the face of bullying.

It still happens but I have my friends to help me.

Did you ever see people poke fun at school?

Yes, they were calling him Scarface but me and Connor, we back him up,

Yes, because I acted normal, normal to everyone else.

As soon as JJ said well he was the same as everybody else,

When people point at Billy, what do you do?

She's quite good with Billy because she defends him very well.

But for Caitlin, primary school was hard.

What did the school due to support you?

They didn't feel like it was a big enough issue.

If I found a magic lamp and I could have one wish,

I wish that I would have a normal face and that no one

I wish I could walk down the street without people seeing me,

It is one of a few in the country teaching face equality.

It started with the book Wonder, about a boy with a facial

Compared with racism or homophobia or sexism, how important is it

The school uses and lesson plans from Changing Faces.

The charity wants to see it rolled out across the country.

Why do you think so many schools are behind the trend in terms

of supporting kids with facial disfigurement?

It is the pressure they have got to get those academic results are,

that is the biggest priority for most of the school.

The children are also meeting markers and Caitlin.

Well when I first went in there was a lot staring

Was it kind of a bit more hard to make friends at school?

It wasn't hard when I first started school but as I grew up and people

grew up and we all started to realise I was a bit

Just, it is not you with the problem.

Once they started engaging with things that they had similar

charities with such as Pokemon, those barriers just

But has the lesson changed the views of the pupils?

They are taking the same test that they did yesterday

when they were 11% slower to match positive words

It's a brain reaction tests your school will not improve practice.

Basically we don't really notice the facial disfigurement,

It would suggest that the education they had after yesterday's test

That is a very plausible explanation.

Really surprised. Meeting those children, we are all the same.

It is part of the discrimination Act. You cannot discriminate against

someone with a facial disfigurement. This year I did definitely gained

a lot of confidence and realise that it is not Michaels

and if they have a problem with it How would you like

people to judge you? From my personality and what I do,

not by my face. If you want to share that full film,

Tony says, "This needs stampling out. Education is the only way."

Jeanette says, "I was encouraged to return to work as a teach we are

severe facial palsy. I became depressed and for months suicidal

and I have PDST as a result." John says, "I had severe acne which left

me with scars. Rarely do I escape verbal abuse on a daily basis."

Heidi says, "Yes, schools should be making pupils aware of

discrimination." Another viewer says, "Everyone is different.

Whatever their background." Thank you. Keep them

In the next Keep them hour of the programme,

we'll be speaking more people who've been discriminated because of

as leader of the party I have never been

and I have never wanted to be So I feel it is right that I now

stand aside as the leader of Ukip. The leader of the UK

Independence Party, Diane James! Watching TV this afternoon,

you'll be watching the opposition I will continue as the interim

leader of Ukip and we will go I keep trying to escape

and going over the wall and running for the hills and before I'm finally

free they track me back. The man tipped to be Ukip's next

leader is in hospital after an altercation

with a colleague in There were no punches thrown,

no face slapping, nothing. As people would say,

it was handbags at dawn. So, who do party members and voters

want to take over as the next leader, and will they have the same

attraction as Nigel Farage? Here with us, the Ukip MEP for the East

of England, Tim Aker, and a group of Ukip voters. Thank you. Tim Aker,

who do you want to be the new leader and what should their focus be? I

support Paul Nuttall, I think he has the experience within the party. To

see us into our next stage. We have won the referendum, we have to make

sure Brexit means Brexit, but we have to win council seats and get

more MPs next time. Labour is in disarray, they would rather talk

about Castro than council housing, they are not talking about the

issues of working-class voters. You are in a bit of disarray yourself?

We have seen worse, we survived Kilroy. Some of our audience will

not know who he is. A lot of people will. We have been winning

by-elections. On the day of the altercation, we won a by-election in

Hartlepool. With Paul hopefully as leader, we can march into labour

areas and win council seats and be prepared for the next election. Tell

us what you want from the next leader. I am Tricia Gulliver from

Bromley, a member of the Bromley committee for Ukip. I want the next

leader to unite the party, which is so very important. Is that through

the charisma of their personality? Their policies? How would they do

that? Strength of character and experience that they can bring. Go

ahead. I am Matt, 24, and I joined the party in April 2000 15. I used

to support Labour. Why did you switch in April 2015? They were not

listening to working-class people struggling to make a living. Ukip

were the only ones that work. Listening to us. -- that were

listening to us. I live in Thurrock. We have had a Labour run council for

a long time. Labour MPs, and now it's Conservative. I am now an

activist for the party. What is the future for you? I support Paul

Nuttall, I have done from the offset. The party has a great

future. I have been knocking on doors since after May as well, when

I stood. Knocking on doors, and our support base has been returning to

us. I have been speaking to people that voted for us, saying, we're not

going anywhere, we are not going to disappear. The party has a strong

future, we have to keep knocking on the doors and asking important

questions. What is it that people are asking you when you knock on the

door? Anything. What can we do for you? We are public servants. We have

to listen to the people. I was like that myself. You don't see a

counsellor knocking on your door very often, only at election time,

that is what is great about Ukip, out all the time, knocking on doors.

I am Rebecca, from Ipswich, a Ukip voter pretty much ever since I could

vote. I have always supported the party, I haven't been a member of

it. My main issue has been the EU and getting out. I am incredibly

happy with the result of the referendum. Ukip needs a strong

leader to lead us forward and get us out of the EU, get Brexit sorted.

Don't you trust Theresa made to do that? No. When she was Home

Secretary, she couldn't manage the borders, so how can she manage

Brexit? She said it is keeping her awake at night. There is a pamphlet

on how to get us out in a week, repeal the 1972 European Communities

Act, job done. She is not the reason a, she is Theresa maybe! -- she is

not Theresa May. Do you not think it is slightly more complicated than

you have made it sound? It is complicated because they want to

make it complicated and draw it out. Frankly get on with it. For what

purpose? To grind everyone down. But we are not going away.

INAUDIBLE QUESTION. You think she is going to change

completely? 17 million people said they wanted to leave... Yes, they

did. Nigel Farage offered to help the government with the President of

the US. He has the best relationship... Any incoming Prime

Minister... He decided to put country before party. Their response

was to laugh in the House of Commons. It seems they are willing

to put party above country with this. I am Nick, a Ukip member since

2002. That was when I realised Gordon Brown had trashed my pension.

I started taking notice of what was going on in the world. Who do you

want to lead Ukip? I voted for Paul Nuttall. On the basis of his

experience. But what I have found, particularly with this referendum,

both the people object into being in the EU and the people who wanted to

stay in the EU, none of them had a very good idea of what the EU was

all about. Quite a good example, a bit earlier in this programme, you

had a chap talking about the single market. He only gave half the story.

It isn't really a single market... We are not going to get into your

definition of the single market, if you don't mind, we don't have time,

let's hear from Josh. I have been a member of the party since 2015. Why

do you support Ukip? I was half and half with the Conservative Party,

but with David Cameron and Theresa May, true conservatives like

Thatcher, they are very centrist, they just mumble a lot. They don't

get the job done on the economy. We have had a Conservative government

since 2010, and yet get in borrowing is up. Neither party has any clue

how to sort out the economy, because national debt will be ?1.9 trillion

by the end of the decade. Who do you support? Suzanne Evans. Have you

heard her talk about reducing the deficit? She wants to focus on

educating the young to do jobs so we don't have to rely on immigration.

She wants a less intrusive state, cutting down on waste and NHS

management, to get the deficit under control by not borrowing, like

Labour would, to spend how they want. We need defence policies to

make sure we stick to defence, because that is an area where we do

need to spend money. She has a balanced idea of the role of

government, so it is not just cutting and spending, which the

other parties seem to be about. Just on point, talking about government

finances, our manifesto at the last general election was the only one to

be independently costed. Feted by independent experts. I understand.

-- vetted. Norman Smith was talking about the government saying we will

automatically come out of the European economic area when we leave

the EU, but actually lawyers are saying there has to be a formal

process, Parliament should be given the chance to trigger it as well. It

seems to be watering down the whole process, doesn't it? Republic have

spoken. Politicians are there, as Matt said... Tell me which

politician is saying the public hasn't spoken? Which politician is

saying we are going to ignore the public? In power... Owen Smith is

not in power. Theresa May has a majority of, what, 12? There are

enough hard-core remaineders to make this a messy process, just get on

with it. Give us an early Christmas present, get up this week and say we

are just going to do it. We are going to send the letter and start

negotiations. Better still... Why does it matter, December or March?

Because get on with it. The longer she leaves it, the more I have a

point. They are trying for a second referendum. Clause 50 was put into

the Lisbon Treaty not to allow people to leave, but to make it

extremely difficult for people to leave without horrendous financial

consequences. The simplest thing is to cut the Gordian knot and repeal

the 1972 act. It was brought in by blatant lies by Ted Heath in

Parliament to the country. Strictly speaking it shouldn't be legal.

Thank you very much for coming on. Your view is welcome.

News from Fifa. It is to do with the recent revelations of historic

sexual abuse in football. Fifa says it is monitoring allegations of

child sex abuse within English football closely. "We are aware of

the allegations. Fifa considers the frOks and young people as

fundamental in football and we will monitor the situation closely." Fifa

saying they are aware of the allegations in British football. We

are monitoring them closely and we consider the protection of children

and young people fundamental in football."

If you want to see our interview with the four men who were on the

programme on Friday morning, former professional footballers, former

junior footballers who talked very movingly about the kind of sexual

abuse that they experienced as little boys, then go to YouTube and

you will be able to find the full interview there.

OK - spoiler alert - we're going to talk about Strictly

And for both programmes it was the end of the novelty act.

After ten weeks Ed Balls finally got booted out with politicians

from all parties saying how much he'll be missed.

His old adversary the former Prime Minister David Cameron says

the programme "wouldn't be the same without him".

If people watching have had half the fun I've had learning to dance

with Katya then they must have had a complete blast because it's

Goodness gracious, Ed Balls on fire! At least Ed Balls got to dance with

our own Carol before he got booted off!

And... LAUGHTER

Well done. Well done. Well done. If I say honey, you say toast.

Honey. Toast. It is Honey G time.

# Whose hot? # Can't you hear the music?

# Now, push it. # Push it good.

# Push it real good. # Unemployment a record high.

# Coming coming, people going and I don't know why.

# Don't ask me because I don't know why, but it's like that

# And that's the way it is. # No fingerprints.

# Watch your back. # Come on.

# When I say honey, you say G. # Honey.

# When I say honey, you say go. # Honey.

My friend Kathy can do the best impression of Honey G. Let's speak

to Ann Widdecombe who was on Strictly this 2010. She was knocked

out in week ten, that's the exact week as Ed Balls. Arc nn, good

morning. Good morning. What did you think of his journey? I thought he

was tremendously entertaining. He was enjoying T the first week I

thought oh dear there, isn't going to work because he looked stiff and

formal, but somebody gave him some good advice and from we can two

onwards he really looked as if he was enjoying it. But he was

improving, wasn't? That's something I could never say. But he did

improve. I wonder if there are similarities with you in that,

suddenly you go on Strictly as a former politician and you become a

much-loved human being? Well, the thing is that people see a side of

you that they never saw before and quite right, you you know, we were

both doing serious jobs. Both of us were released from those

responsibilities and threw ourselves into enjoying ourselves and that's

infectious. Did it take you time to think I've got to, you know, get rid

of any inhibitions to really go for this? Oh, I kept some inhibitions.

There were things I wouldn't do and made that very clear from the start!

I'm sure the same was true of Ed. He probably said, I will do this, but I

won't do that and that's acceptable. All they want is for to you feel

comfortable about what you're doing. Who was your partner? It was Anton

Du Beke! How could I forget that? Peu would! Do you think they put him

with you or you with him? Yes. If you think about the height

difference, normally they wouldn't have made that pairing. But I think

they made it because he is very good with the duffers, he is good with

the old ladies. I think it was, they got it right. Did you see Ed Balls

gangnam style? He was hugely entertaining and huge fun and when

that happens the public will vote for you to come back. If the

programme was about dancing, you wouldn't have people like me and Ed

in it in the first place. Thank you for talking to us. Bye-bye.

Thank you for your messages about the film we ran earlier about the

child with facial disfigurements. This tweet from Boss 77. "Great is

getting coverage. People are so judgemental qments, "Some of us have

been bullied, stared at and picked on. I'm 56 and I cannot remember a

day when I have not been subject to some form of abuse. Maybe that's a

lie, a few of those days I may not have even left the house." Lleyton

says, "This shows how essential good education is for a caring society.

We must balance academic education with social education. Children

learn best when they have not learnt stereotypical attitudes." John on

e-mail, "I support your programme about childhood discrimination. Can

I ask you to say a word of support for the small child. I was tiny. I

was always picked on at school and called names of which Titch was the

nicest. Other children who were having a bad time always took it out

on me." We will have the layest news and

sport in a moment. Phil is here. We've got the Weather Watchers have

been at it again. Brave souls that they are! You have to be in some

spots of the British Isles. Nothing unusual. This is up in a wee village

in the north of Scotland. This captured how frosty and how foggy it

was this morning. Temperature here #34i news seven Celsius or so. Not

extraordinary for the time of year, and if you think that's a long way

in Scotland, it is coming further south. This was the glorious scene

captured by a less brave soul, one of our Weather Watchers Trish in

London. We have a mishmash. A week ago it was Storm Angus and now it is

quieter. We have got an area of high pressure and that's drawing in the

colder air which is showing itself across the eastern side of the

British Isles as clearer skies and we're going to push that a little

bit further towards the north and west through the course of the day.

We will have a glorious prospect of sunshine in the afternoon.

Temperatures not really responding to the sun sheuvenlt it is on the

cool side or the time of year and if you're exposed to the breeze, you

will feel it cold. We will keep the cloud across Northern Ireland for a

good part of the day and further north, the temperatures locked two,

three, four, five Celsius something of that order, but there will be

sunshine, and variable amounts of cloud. As soon as the sun goes down,

the temperatures are going to fall away. I was talking about minus

seven Celsius in the north of Scotland. Even in the towns and the

cities, we will be looking at temperatures really falling away and

that's the picture in the countryside. Somewhere in the

Midlands, southern Midlands, minus seven and minus eight. For Scotland

and Northern Ireland, you may have a wee touch of frost, but this cloud

associated with the weather front comes in and there will be rain for

the western northern isles and it tends to fizzle further south and

into Scotland and Northern Ireland. A slow process here so it doesn't

get into the borders until late on and having had a cold start, you

will be scraping your cars across England and Wales. The temperatures

never really recover. Three, four, five Celsius and that's if you can

get rid of the fog. There will be a wee bit of fog around and it will

dent the temperatures further. Tuesday and into Wednesday, high

pressure that was over the North Sea comes over towards the Republic of

Ireland and that has the effect of stopping the Continental air coming

at us and it is more maritime air with more moisture. We have got more

in the way of cloud. It will stay dry, but the high pressure just not

quite keeping those fronts away from the northern parts of Britain so

into Scotland and Northern Ireland. There will be spells of rain at

times, but the themes of the week, because of the high pressure, a lot

of dry weather, but is it warm? No! Good morning. It is Monday. This

morning children living with facial disfigurements tell us about the

bullying they experience on a daily basis.

One time I was ten, and someone came up to me and said if they look like

me, I would -- they would kill themselves. After, I came home and

burst into tears. Also on the programme,

sex abuse, we ask mums and dads watching their children play

football in one junior league their reaction

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

Almost none of the so-called add-on treatments offered by fertility

clinics to boost IVF success rates are backed by scientific research

according to findings. The research was commissioned

by the BBC's Panorama programme, and is also published

in the British Medical Journal. It found that of the 27 different

treatments examined, only one was supported by even

moderate evidence that it could increase the chances

of having a baby. The fertility regulator says it has

limited power to stop clinics offering add-ons.

As many as seven professional football clubs are now embroiled

in the historic child sex abuse scandal.

All the cases of sexual abuse in football revealed so far go back

decades, but the trigger for the latest revelation came just a week

Andy Woodward was the first to come forward, speaking

publicly for the first time about the abuse he received

in the 1980s as a boy at Crewe Alexandra.

All I wanted to do was be a footballer,

it was my dream, it was something I had always wanted to do.

He threatened me in a way that that was going to

He was abused by his former coach, Barry Bennell,

a man who later went to prison three times for child sex offences.

Bennell worked as a scout or coach for a number

of clubs in the north-west of

England including Stoke, Crewe Alexandra and Manchester City.

As well as showing them skills and explaining the game to

them, we show them that there is more to it than coming here one hour

Some others came forward saying that Barry Bennell had abused them too.

At the end of last week, four of his victims decided to speak out

All of this has got to be rectified as soon as possible.

More footballers came forward, this time saying

they were abused not by Barry Bennell but different coaches.

Former England international Paul Stewart said that he was assaulted

But I felt that I needed to do this so that other people will come out.

As of today, four different police forces say that they are

investigating cases of historical sex abuse in football.

Northumbria, Cheshire, Hampshire and the Met Police in London.

A special NSPCC hotline has taken more than

The head of the Professional Footballers Association

has now said there will be an independent review

and what actions clubs should and could have taken at the time.

This programme has been contacted by a number of former players

who also allege abuse since our interview

with Chris Unsworth, Jason Dunford, Steve Walters and Andy Woodward.

We hope to talk to some of those over the coming weeks and months,

but here's a reminder of that interview which prompted such

It began... He used to pick me up. I was probably one of the closest lads

that lived to his house. In the Peak District. He used to pick me up and

the abuse started in the car. He used to touch. We used to play games

in the car. And that's when it all started. And that would be on the

way to training? On the way to training and on the way back. And

then he invited you to stay over at his house? That happened a little

bit later, but not long after. At first, it was, you know, two, three

or four lads who used to stay there. There was always two or three... And

I'm going to ask you, Chris, what he did to you. At first it started, you

know, the games used to start. It was hands everywhere, then down the

pants. And then, later, it got more serious. In the bedroom. Where there

was penetration. Things like that. What age were you? I was about nine.

And if you want to watch that full interview,

you can find it on YouTube or our programme page,

just type Victoria Derbyshire and football into YouTube

Since that interview, Andy Woodward tweeted,

"Just had a message someone was going to take her life and saw

She now wants to live. We will survive and fight it."

We have been overwhelmed with e-mails and text messages from you.

I'm going to read a couple, no names. The revelations from the

footballers on your programme has been incredibly difficult for me to

watch. As a six-year-old boy, I was sexually abused once by a male

neighbour. Just once. It's had a massive impact on my life since. I

cannot imagine what repeated abuse must be like. And this, from another

viewer. I watched your programme and cried many tears with your guests,

because it brought back so much hurt, which still feels so raw. I

was also a victim of Barry Bennell at Butlins, I didn't even connect

him but I looked at photos of him with the dreaded Man City top on

that I will always see him wearing in the indoor soccer school. Thank

you for your programme, and I have now contacted the number you gave

and had an hour-long conversation with them. I am passing on all the

information to the relevant police authorities. Thank you for those.

And if you've been affected by any of the issues you can find a list

of helplines on the BBC's Action Line.

All four men we spoke to in that exclusive interview say

they were abused by a man called Barry Bennell,

who worked at a number of clubs, including Crewe as a youth coach.

Bennell has been imprisoned three times in total for child sex

offences, including one spell in an American jail.

Dario Gradi, who was Crewe Alexandra's manager for more

than 24 years between 1983 and 2007, and is now their director

of football and academy director, has offered "sympathy to the victims

He said he knew nothing about Bennell's abuse of young

footballers until his arrest in the US in 1994.

He was questioned about it in a documentary for Channel 4

This is what he said when questioned by the reporter about children

Did you know some boys were staying virtually every weekend, every

school holiday, spending a huge amount of time at his house? Yes,

but they all seemed to be happy and quite contented kids. Did any of

them tell you they were sleeping in his bed? No. Not at all. Presumably

something the club would not approve of? Definitely not. Bearing in mind

there is testimony of him abusing before he was here, he has pleaded

guilty to abusing after he was her, do you believe it is possible he was

abusing the boys while he was at Crewe? Of course I think it's

possible, but I don't think at the time we had any cause for concern.

That was in 1996. Like hundreds of parents up and down

the country I spend quite a few Sunday mornings during the football

season watching my young boys play Yesterday I asked other mums

and dads supporting their children on the touchline, how they'd reacted

the revelations of the last week or so, and whether they think

it could happen now. I felt physically sick. I heard it

on the radio. I was sick. Why did you have such a visceral reaction? I

think because the abuse of authority, and that relationship, I

can't imagine anyone actually ever doing that. What can I say? Just

shocked. You have a young boy who plays football in a local team. Yes.

Did it make you think again about what he does every weekend, the

coaching and the training? Yes, I'm afraid it did. I don't think it's a

position to be alone with a coach for anything to happen... It did

make me think again, absolutely right. Just because you don't know,

that it's not happening, doesn't mean it isn't. Do you think it could

happen now? Yes. Really shocking, to be honest. Upsetting. I just feel

sorry for every victim that's been abused. Have you got your own

children who play football for a local club? No, I have a

three-year-old daughter. Gymnastics, things like that. So I haven't. But

it's an issue for any parent whose kids do any kind of sport,

safeguarding their future? It's massive. I don't even know... You

would like to think that doesn't go on any more. I've heard a few

people's views. One of them said that's what he felt he had to do to

get in the starting line-up, everything like that. Yeah, I hope

it doesn't go on. I initially thought the guy who came out was

really brave. It was fantastic, asking, because what he's done can't

change the past, but what's happening now... It will be

scrutinised. And hopefully the kids and everyone involved will be a lot

safer. Hopefully the people who are doing the coaching in football are

not going to be looked on in the wrong way. But hopefully... The kids

will be safer. What was your initial reaction? Obviously you feel sorry

for the guy, but it's a good thing that everyone's been made aware of

the situation. As John says, hopefully it makes our kids a lot

safer. Very sad to think that you leave your children with someone you

trust, and they are taken advantage of. It's just a dreadful, absolutely

dreadful. Their childhood has been taken away. And also it makes you

feel really mistrustful of men who work with children, which is such a

shame. The vast majority of intentions will be good, but it

makes you not want to leave your children with anyone. That's really

sad, actually. A sad indictment. You are supporting your boys, they play

every Sunday morning with loads of other boys. Up and down the country

this goes on. Do you think it could happen now? I think parents are a

lot more aware of making their children aware of what is right and

wrong. Making sure that if anything like that happens, that they would

never ever get into trouble, they would say straightaway, no one has

the right to touch them if they don't want to be touched. Just

protect them. You have to be open and honest with them and encourage

them to talk, if they feel like anything untoward is going on. They

have to be able to open up and talk about it.

And if you want to contact the dedicated NSPCC helpline

to report abuse, you can call it 24 hours a day on: 0800 023 2642.

The UK's leading charity for people with facial disfigurements has told

this programme "face bullying" in schools could be a bigger problem

than racism or homophobia because it's not as recognised.

The facial disfigurement charity Changing Faces has introduced lesson

plans in a small number of schools, to challenge perceptions that people

who don't look like most other people are unsuccessful,

They now want to roll out their education programme,

to tackle what is feels is a hidden problem,

which leads to misery and even mental illness for some children

Our reporter Ashley John Baptiste has been to meet three

children who've suffered prejudice and bullying

We played you his full film earlier in the programme.

Every face tells a story. The twin who doesn't look like the other.

The boy scarred from birth. The girl who can't smile.

Different stories, but similar experiences. Billy's family have

struggled to even take him out in public. At time it can be soul

detroug it really can. Because as a parent you just want to protect your

child. How do you feel about that? Annoyed. He gets annoyed. Do you

feel annoyed? Billy is nine. He is a twivenlt he was born with Apert's

syndrome. It is a cranial facial condition. The paediatric registrar

didn't even refer to Billy as a baby. He just said, "I have never

seen anything like it before." Marcus is 12 and a talented

trampolinist, but he was born with a cleft, a gap in his face. Some

people called me Far Face and one times I was like ten and someone

came up to me and said, "If they looked like me, they would kill

themselves." Looking different is tough for any

kid, but especially when you are a teenage girl and image is

everything. I've come to Somerset to meet a young girl who has a facial

condition that means she can't smile. Caitlin was only a baby when

she developed a large benign tumour on the side of her face. They took

the whole tumour out and while doing that, they caught the smiling nerve

and as a result of that, she came round with facial palsy. When did

people start to bully you? When I was seven, I think, that's when it

all started. What sort of things did people say? Mainly that I wasn't

receipty enough to be in their group and they didn't want to be friends

with me because I was weird or I looked different. What did the

school do to support you? Nothing. Literally nothing. This school in

London is pretty rare. It is one of the few in the country teaching face

equality. Why do you think so many schools are behind the trend when it

comes to supporting kids with facial disfigurement? Think it is the

pressures they have got to get the academic results up. That's the

biggest priority for most of the schools. The schoolchildren are

meeting Marcus and Caitlin? Was it more hard to make friends at school?

It wasn't hard when I first started school, but as I grew up and people

grow up and we started to realise I was a bit different so I think,

yeah. You shouldn't really care. Just, it is not you with the

problem, it's the people that bully you. Let's talk to Billy Mitchell

who has Apert's syndrome. And his twin sister, Lois.

Let's talk now to James Partridge the founder of Changing Faces.

Joan Norris who opposes distinct curriculum for targeting

Chelsea Burger who has had facial palsy since birth.

Tell us what Billy's school has done to tackle bullying and prejudice

because of the way Billy looks? We were quite proactive as parents with

Billy and we wanted from the outset's Billy's school life to be

really just the same as Lois' was going to be. So we asked Changing

Faces to come and do a whole class assembly, a whole school assembly

more about facial disfigurement which they came in and did. And they

also took some time out to talk to the teachers in the school about how

to deal with bullying and unwanted attention, you know, that Billy was

to get say they were out on a school trip or something like that. And how

much difference has that made to Billy's quality of life at school?

Massively actually. His peers, they just see Billy as Billy. They look

beyond the face and see, you know, Billy for the child who he is. His

face doesn't define Billy at all. And he is treated very well. His

school is very inclusive and you know the leadership team have been

fantastic. Billy, how much do you enjoy school? Very much. Do you?

Yeah. What's your favourite subject? Maths. Is it? Clever little boy.

Lois, what have you done in the past when people have been mean to your

brother? When they make fun of him, I stand in front of him so I can

block their view. Do you? Yeah. What do you think about that, Billy?

Good. Well done you Lois. Really well done. Chelsea, tell us what

facial palsy is. Basically, facial palsy is a weakness on one of the

sides of your face. It is just nerves aren't quite strong enough.

And it can affect you by closing your eyes, watery eyes and even

eating sometimes. Sometimes speaking as well. When you're tired it does

get worse as it goes on. What sort of bullying have you experienced?

Name calling. People pinching my things. Is this just at school or as

an adult? Well, it was worse when I was at school even physical

sometimes, but as I got older I thought it is going to stop. It is

going to stop. I did my dream job and it didn't. A lady started

bullying me again and inn my dream job and I thought when am I going to

get out of it? I moved away from that job and now I don't get any

bother anymore. I found Facial Policy UK website where there is a

lady called Karen and she talks to you 24 hours a day. If you're

feeling down, she talks to you and that helps a lot, but there is a

reminder on Snapchat. There is a filter that makes your face go side

ways. It is horrible. It needs to be stopped. Why? It just, I think, it

is like yes, we have facial palsy, a few of the girls have been getting

Snapchats of lads taking the mick saying, "This is what you look like.

" What kind of comments have people made to you about your face?

Monster. You shouldn't be alive. It is not nice. Not nice at all. That's

unbelievable. It is just vile. It is. It is. James, tell us why you

think specific education about facial disfigurement in classrooms

would be really useful? Well, clearly, we have to support and

empower kids and young people themselves to deal with this stuff

when it happens. But our view is that actually, this subject has been

so pushed away and neglected in the ethos setting of the school that we

need to bring it up. Hopefully over a five year period perhaps. It will

become normal or obvious, but I think at this stage, we think we

need to push face equality up into being not just sort of oh,

Euro-sceptics it is a nice add-on, but integral in the Respect Agenda

that all schools should have, but also teaching kids that you can

interact normally and positively and inclusively with all kids, you

notion unusual appearance or not. I think that's, that needs to be done

as a measure for at least five years because what we're hearing is this

is too common. This shouldn't be happening. There is a rudeness

culture which we need to attack. Does it not come under the general

umbrella of bullying though which is what you feel Joan? My feelings are

it should be part of the general ethos of the school. So it is about

feeling that, you have a bullying policy, but you have to think every

single day what does that mean within your school and that's within

the whole school community? Children will come into the classroom with

all sorts of issues, whatever that might be, and teachers need to be

skilful at spotting all of that and certainly if they feel that there is

bullying going on or name calling or whatever, they need to have the

equipment to deal with that instantly. You want something more

specific, James, don't you? You see our view is disfigurement has been

covered as a protected character Starc in the Equality Act, but it

hasn't been given the same attention that racism and sexism and so on has

been and so what we're seeking is to raise this and make sure that

schools, under their public sector duty, their equality duty, actually

have to show that they are taking this seriously. That face equality

is embedded and you're right, we must make sure that the policing of

it, the policies and the practise to stamp it out are there too. So

parents actually have the sort of assurance that they need that their

children are safe and this is a safety issue, as much as anything.

What do you think, Denise? I totally agree. Education is really, really

the most important thing to promote face equality. I think if we hadn't

had Changing Faces go into the school, the cranial facial nurse

from great or Monday street, Billy's life might have been a lot

different. I really fear for his secondary school in particular. Do

you? Yeah, I do, much more so. I think you really need to get

children in their formative years, not just once, keep on and on,

educating them and bringing it to the fore front and for schools to be

inclusive as well. What difference would this have made to you at

primary school, Chelsea? A hell of a difference. It wasn't just kids in

school. I think if the parents told them it wasn't right, if they were

guided how to approach us, we are normal people. We shouldn't be

treated any different. I do think it would have made a hell of a

difference. Some comments from people watching around the country.

"Christian on Facebook. I love these kids. Talking about you, Billy. And

Lois. Concern, "As the mother of a child who suffered facial palsy, I

support programmes like this. In schools, in social clubs, I'm not

bothered where, but as adults we are responsible for making sure every

child feels special. Those two children, Billy and Lois, are brave

and mature and beyond their years and a huge high five to them for

standing up for every child who has suffered like them and my daughter.

Something like facial palsy is frightening enough for the child to

come to terms with without there being a bullying problem to cope

with. My daughter has been lucky. Despite being only eight, her

friends have been amazing and helped her cope. Children who say mean

things and stare are afraid. Keep up the good work those who are involved

in this project." The website is really good and there

is support for teachers there. So teachers need to be able to have

resources and access to places where they can get more information and

know how to deal with things. I hope that by creating a face

equality Day, as we will next year, we will make sure this is raised on

to the agenda of teachers in schools. And also start to reassure

parents. Social goodness is at the root of an awful lot of this, and we

need to give skills to all kids and teachers to deal with unusual

appearance, and parents, in a very civilised way. Thank you for coming

on. Chelsea, Billy, well done. Love you! Inset day today? They love it,

we can't be doing with them! Thank you.

a message from a lady on Facebook, she has had IVF... I have been

through IVF twice, I try to get pregnant after I got married at 25,

twice it didn't work, a miscarriage the first time in the second time I

didn't get pregnant at all. I was told by my consultant I couldn't get

pregnant without treatment. In two weeks at the end of June, I went on

holiday and came back to find I was pregnant without IVF, I think

because I wasn't thinking about it, I changed my diet, I wasn't

stressed, we were enjoying each other's company. Before that, I was

trying herbal and natural stuff. Now I have my new arrival coming soon, I

would never recommend IBS unless you have tried everything else. It takes

a toll on you, the pain. -- IVF. You can end up causing problems in your

marriage. We are going to talk about it more in ten minutes, particularly

about the add-ons that certain clinics will offer and say will help

you get pregnant. Scientific research suggests that's not

necessarily the case. We now know who two

of the three main candidates for the French presidential

elections in April will be. Francois Fillon was last night

overwhelmingly chosen to represent the main centre-right Republican

party in the forthcoming election. He will stand against Marine Le Pen,

of the far-right National Front, and a Socialist candidate that

hasn't yet been selected, but could be Francois Hollande,

the current President who's fairly So who are the contenders?

What do they stand for? And what will a victory for any

of the candidates mean for the UK? We can speak to Jacques Myard,

a member of the Republicans Party. And Agnes Poirier,

a political commentator. Tell the British audience what

people in France were voting for yesterday. First of all, it was the

first time the French right were holding primaries. Secondly, it was

not just for the people on the right... In a way it's very exciting

as a democratic exercise. There were two rounds. The people who voted, a

lot of people, want to... INAUDIBLE.

I'm so sorry to interrupt. It is a really bad line, I'm so sorry. While

we sort that out, I'm going to bring in Jack. Tell us about Francois

Fillon. What is he promising? First of all, I would say that this

exercise was a big success. It is true that many French rotas came and

voted. Not only on the right-hand side of the political scene. --

French voters. They wanted Alain Juppe instead of Francois Fillon.

Francois Fillon is a man of experience, but he has something

more. Of course he has a project in terms of cutting expenses, cutting

the Secret Service... You know, he wants to get rid of 500,000 civil

servants. He will go step-by-step and it will not be a shock, you

know, in one shot. But it has something more. I think he has been

succeeding because he is of a quiet strength, he appears as a man of

calm and serenity. When Juppe was very excited... This is what I

think, he forces confidence. I think this is one of his main, you know,

strengths, main argument to win. But of course it is not yet finished.

How will Mr Fillon go about trying to beat Marine Le Pen from the

National Front, and whoever the Socialist candidate will be? Yes,

well, I think he has a good chance. I think Le Pen, of course she now

has a challenger. She will very likely be in the second round of the

presidential election. But I don't think that she has a good chance to

win, because there are many, many, let's say a huge majority of the

French who would like to have her as a president. But she will be in the

second round, it's likely. The strength of Fillon, he also attracts

people who have voted for Le Pen in the past election. Because, you

know, he has the support of a great part of the conservative Catholics,

for instance, who sometimes have been voting for the extreme right. I

believe they will come back to Fillon. Agnes, what is Marine Le Pen

promising voters should she win? INAUDIBLE.

She will go through to the second round, it is almost a mathematical

fact, because the left is so fragmented. Francois Hollande and

his Prime Minister, to be chosen at the next primaries...

INAUDIBLE. The most likely to win against

Marine Le Pen in the second round, that is the question. Francois

Fillon, perhaps. A lot of people on the left think that Fillon...

I'm so sorry, it is just a horrible line, really sorry about that. We

persist, because we don't like to give up, but I am afraid on that we

are just giving up, I am really sorry.

And joining us from Nottingham is Dr Simon Fishel, founder

And we haven't introduced this delightful little baby here.

Bridget. She is seven months. Congratulations. Welcome to the

programme. Professor, when we say add-on treatments, what are we

talking about? A cycle of IVF includes using the embryo and

implanting it, plus some drugs, but beyond that there are add-on

treatments you can be offered at the clinic. We have found there is

considerable variation across the UK in who offers what. No consistency.

That shows a problem immediately, because if it is an evidence-based

approach and it is shown to make a difference, you will offer the

treatment to everyone. That is the standard way we work in clinical

practice. If you are not quite sure, you may offer it in some way, some

clinics are using this to say, we are better than another clinic, we

have an advantage because of this, trying to do their own little

studies based on their own data, and then say, well, in the last ten

babies we have delivered, they had this treatment. And then you said at

the beginning, you get the situation where the motive... It is very

difficult to get a balanced decision based on the evidence. One of the

treatments you looked at, PGS involves screening the embryo for

abnormalities. That is the really interesting one. The first version

of it was shown to reduce your chance of having a baby. For every

thousand women who had this treatment, there was 147 less babies

born. It took ten years to do the trials. Until we discovered that.

And then in about 2008, everyone said, OK, this is not a good thing

to do, let's stop doing it. The problem is, we now have PGS version

two, with newer tests. They are doing them in the light of poor

quality evidence. Offering them to couples at high costs. Hello,

Doctor, you have found Care fertility clinics. You offer PGS at

your clinics. How much does it cost? About ?2500, added onto the IVF

procedure. Poor quality evidence for offering it, according to the

Professor? Of course, unfortunately, the professor is talking about a

study that was done ten years ago. The study itself was widely

criticised as being flawed. There is indeed some very difficult problems

about getting the evidence. So the European Society of human

reproduction decided it needed to conduct a trial. It has been

undertaking that trial for six years. It hasn't been able to

recruit. It will probably not ever published the trial. So why are you

offering this until we have the evidence? Let me tell you, when it

does publish this trial, it is two generations of technology out of

date. We are now in a situation where we have moved on in the field

and we have technology to overcome a real clinical problem. 70% of

embryos do not make babies. One of the biggest causes of the problem is

chromosomal errors that arise in those embryos. And we now have the

technology, and we know from the US recently, none of this is covered or

considered in the Oxford academic paper. 140,000 embryos were tracked

last year in America. Those which used PGS, they had 12% higher live

birth rate. It is an extra 16,000 babies because PGS was used. What do

we say to a 35-year-old woman, a couple who want a baby? They have

had a miscarriage, they may have tried IVF and it doesn't work. 35,

36, 37 years old. Do we say we have this technology at the moment, this

is the limited evidence we have available... Do you accept that,

Professor? You are giving couples a choice? I accept completely that you

give couples a choice, but you give them a choice based on the best

available evidence. You tell them the benefits and the harm in effect.

You want to know that and then you should take the information away and

discuss it and come to a balanced decision. At the moment there is an

overrepresentation of the benefits, many of the studies don't report the

harm. PGS, if it did give you that benefit, we would want to know that

because we would want to make that available to everyone because it

would reduce the number of cycles. It is difficult to get an insight

into how challenging it can be. You were doing this for seven years.

Give us a flavour of what that time was like. Challenging is the right

word. Life changing. Your whole life gets put on hold whilst you're going

through it because you just, all you're after is a baby. Your life

becomes about babies and putting your life on hold until you get a

baby. We're very, very fortunate that we were lucky enough to have

Brigitte. You enter this point of desperation and despair and you

become open to anybody stacking an extra 1% or 2% in your favour. We

were given advice and we had to make calls on things which were unproven

and untested and fortunately, we did seem to get it right. How much did

you spend on add-ones? The last cycle, when we won, we did an extra

five or six I would think at least. Add-ones? Yes. Costing in total?

?5,000 or ?6,000. But it was including the pregenetic screening.

That was our last resort. We wanted to test our embryos. We went to our

clinic and said this is what we want to do. Of course, you would say

every penny was worth it? You can't put a price on it. It is a fairly

unbiassed opinion. Did you ever feel without naming names or referring to

clinics, did you ever feel exploited? Not with our clinic at

all. Previous advice, we had spoken to a lot of clinics and we can tell

there is an element of being exploited, I think, but we were

fortunate with our clinic. Firstly, we were under informed of informed

it was very difficult to find the information ourselves. It is such a

small niche market. Simon, do you ever exploit couples who come to

you? Well, I would certainly hope not. It is very important that we

professionally give patients written information and we do that and I

agree entirely with the professor, the information that patients are

given, it is extremely important. What they didn't do in their study

unfortunately was to seek the information directly from clinics,

not their websites, on what written information is given to patients to

allow them to make an informed consent. We give as much information

as is available to the medical specialist as to the patients. It is

extremely important. They have hard choices, but they are trying very

hard to sift through this information. Juliette, what do you

think? Well, I'm not surprised by this, but I'm dismayed by what I

have heard about the study. What can you do? Well, the approach that

we're take as the regulator of IVF, but not unfortunately a number of

these add-ones is to speak to patients like Frankie and Tom and to

give them the information... What bit do you regulate and you can't

regulate the add-on bit? It depends on the add-on. We have some

regulated control over PGS and we expect clinics to give certain

information. Why can't you regulate the lot? Because we don't regulate

drugs and surgical procedures and we could try to acquire those powers,

but I think for us the important thing is to help patients who feel

really at sea in all of this and really confused by the conflicting

information. There is often, they are not sure who to trust, they

phone us and say, "Is there anywhere we can get information that's

unbiassed. " The we are the only place you can get that. We're using

our scientific advice and we will be look ago the this study to give good

information to patients via our website and to appeal to clinics to

ability responsibly. Maybe if there is limited evidence you shouldn't be

charging for this, maybe it should be part of a trial. If there is good

he have, information is great. That's all patients want is good

information. There is more on Panorama tonight on
