The Conservative Party is hit with record fine of ?70,000 | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
after an investigation into election campaign expenses. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
The Conservative Party say it is all down to administrative error, but | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
the Electoral Commission say the spending may have given Tory | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
candidates are realistic prospect of an advantage over their opponents. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
People talk to us candidly about their expreience of living | :00:37. | :00:40. | |

Hello, welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. | :01:06. | :01:20. | |
At half ten we'll talk about the changes which are being | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
brought in today to disability benefits called personal | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
We asked for an interview with a member of the government | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
to explain the changes to you on the day they come in | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
but the Work and Pensions Secretary, the Minister for Welfare Delivery, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |

and the Employment Minister, weren't available. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |

Our top story today: The Conservative Party has been | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
fined a record ?70,000 for breaching the rules | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
The Electoral Commission says there were significant failures | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
in the party's reporting during by-elections in 2014, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Our Political Guru, Norman Smith, is at Westminster. | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
It began with an investigation by Channel 4 News. It is significant | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
because it leaves open the question as to whether the Conservative Party | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
secured a political advantage in key marginal seats at the last election | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
which David Cameron one and helped to secure victory at the election | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
for the Conservatives, that they secured an advantage in those key | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
marginal seats by basically abusing the election expenses rules. The | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
allegation is that in a constituency you are only allowed to spend | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
?15,000, the candidates. The claim is the Tory party got round those | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
rules by using activists who were on a battle bus, part of the National | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
campaign, to campaign locally and then to declare that money as part | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
of the national expenditure. In other words they were able to | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
buttress, boost and bolster local campaigns, piling in more money | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
without having to declare the money as part of the local campaign. That | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
is the allegation. The Tory party said it was an administrative error. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Significantly the Electoral Commission are not saying that this | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
was deliberate by the Conservative Party, but they are not ruling it | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
out and they have referred this to the Metropolitan police to | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
investigate whether there was a motive behind this election expenses | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
misreporting, whether the motive behind that was in effect to give | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
them an advantage in these critical marginal seats. I think we can | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
probably hear from the chief executive of the Electoral | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
Commission. Our investigation looked at the Conservative Party's national | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
spending return for three by-elections in 2014 and the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Parliamentary general election in 2015. As a result of that, we found | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
a high number of mistakes and errors and as a result we have fined | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
?70,000, the highest ever find we have issued. Claire Bassett of the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Electoral Commission. The Electoral Commission are now saying they need | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
more powers to impose much bigger fines because their concern is | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
political parties will simply view these fines as a necessary political | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
or financial hit to take in order to gain an advantage in key marginal | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
seats. In other words, they are willing to take fines of up to | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
?70,000 if that can enable them to get round the expenses rules and | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
secure an advantage in key seats. It is not inconsequential money. The | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Electoral Commission say there is ?104,000 of claims that went | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
missing. ?118,000 of claims were misreported. On 81 claims there were | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
no receipts. These are quite significant sums of money and the | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Electoral Commission are now raising questions about it. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Rita is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
The people of the Netherlands have rejected "the wrong | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
And Geert Wilders' anti-immigrant Freedom Party. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
That's the verdict of the Dutch Prime Minister, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
Mark Rutte, whose party is on course to win the general election. | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Mr Wilders, whose party looks likely to come second, | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
insists "the patriotic spring" will still happen. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Within a couple of hours of polls closing, Mark Rutte was wearing | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
wearing a smile that confirmed he will serve another | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
His centre-right party may have lost seats, | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
but they remain by far the largest in the Dutch parliament. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
In his speech, he chose to focus on what voters had rejected. | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
It is also an evening where the Netherlands, after Brexit, | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
after the US election, said stop to the wrong | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
This election drew international attention over the prospect of huge | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
gains for Geert Wilders, the man nicknamed the Dutch Trump. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
With his anti-EU, anti-Islam platform, he was predicted, | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
at one point, to win up to a quarter of the vote, but he made few gains, | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
A statement from France's Foreign Minister congratulated the Dutch | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
people for stemming the rise of the far right. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
The president of the European Commission, | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Jean-Claude Juncker, called this, "A vote for Europe, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Another standout result is the breakthrough | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
of the pro-immigration Green Party who made the biggest | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
It is likely to be several weeks before a coalition | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
government is formed, but this outcome keeps | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
the Netherlands committed to the EU and keeps populism on the fringes | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
There's been another setback for President Trump's new travel ban. | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
It's been blocked by a federal judge in Hawaii just hours before | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
The President wanted to stop people from six predominantly Muslim | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
countries from travelling to the United States. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Mr Trump has reacted angrily, accusing the judge | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
This is, in the opinion of many, an unprecedented, judicial overreach. | :07:24. | :07:43. | |
This ruling makes us look weak, which, by the way, we no longer are, | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
The Chancellor has been explaining why he performed | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
a dramatic U-turn on tax rises for some self-employed people. | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Philip Hammond said it was necessary to maintain public | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
The planned increase in national insurance contributions was dropped | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
just one week after Mr Hammond announced it in the Budget. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
He says the Conservatives are determined to keep to the spirit | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
MPs are to be banned from employing husbands, wives, | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
partners or any member of their family under new rules. | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
The Parliamentary expenses watchdog says it will encourage fair | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
After the expenses scandal MPs were limited to employing only one | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
relative and around a quarter of MPs still do so. | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
For years, the amount of taxpayers' money paid to MPs relatives has | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
In 2010, a limit of one family member was introduced | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
Now the independent Parliamentary Standards | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
From the next election due in 2020, no new staff relatives will be | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
151 of the 650 MPs are known to employ family members. | :08:45. | :09:06. | |
This includes 84 Conservatives, 50 from Labour and ten from the SNP. | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
Last year, ?4.5 million of public funds was paid to relatives. | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
IPSA found family members employed by MPs were paid on average ?5,600 | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
One Tory MP, Sir Roger Gale, who's employed his wife for more | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
than 30 years, says the future block on spouses is crass and warns | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Parliament will likely regret the decision. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Police in India have charged a man with the murder of a backpacker | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
who had dual British and Irish citizenship. | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
28-year-old Danielle McLaughlin's body was discovered earlier this | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
week, in a field close to tourist resorts in the southern | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
From there Yogita Limaye sent this report. | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Tributes have been laid out here for Danielle McLaughlin at the spot | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
There was a vigil held here last evening, about 100 | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
They lay down flowers, candles, photographs and also | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
a banner here that reads, "Justice for Danielle." | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
Police say her body was found here on Tuesday morning. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
She had injuries on her head and face and this is an open field, | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
quite an isolated area but actually just about 100 to 200 metres | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
from here, right there, is the main, busy highway that connects north | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
In this area, there are lots of beaches, one of the biggest, | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
most popular beaches in south Goa is barely two kilometres from here. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
We have been speaking to an officer involved with the investigation | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
and he has told me the police believe they have found | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
He was produced in court on Wednesday and police say | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
they have compelling evidence against him, which includes CCTV | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
camera footage which shows the accused walking along | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
They say they have also seized a two wheeled vehicle which has blood | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
stains on it and some clothes, which have blood smears on them. | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
Police say they suspect she might have been sexually assaulted | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
before she was killed, but they are still waiting | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
for the result of a postmortem examination to confirm that. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
They have been in touch with both British and Irish embassies. | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
They are still questioning the man in custody to find out | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
if he was working alone or perhaps there were others involved. | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
The actress Emma Watson is taking legal action after dozens of private | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
A spokesman for the Beauty and the Beast star confirmed | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
that the pictures - which show her trying | :11:44. | :11:44. | |
on various outfits - were stolen, and that lawyers have | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
Lee is on Facebook has got in touch about acne. I only got ointment from | :11:49. | :12:08. | |
my GP which did not do a lot. Luckily it disappeared by the time I | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
was 17, 18, but it really affected my self esteem. We have got an item | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
about the treatment some people manage to get access to because of a | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
lack of specialists in this country. That will be here at quarter past | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
nine. In the moment it is spot. What about Pep Guardiola after Manchester | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
City's exit from the Champions League? I think Pep Guardiola is in | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
a difficult situation. He arrived last summer with a huge reputation, | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
or of the trophies he had one with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
that Stardust has not sprinkled itself on this Manchester City side. | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
This is the first time he has failed to reach the semifinals of the | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
Champions League. He does have some fantastic players to build upon | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
looking forward, but it is in defence where the club will be | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
looking to change things this summer. There are big contract at | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
Manchester city and it means players are unlikely to move on. But some | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
could be moved on because if you scored six times in a two legged tie | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
in any competition you should be going through. When you get to the | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
second leg with a 2-goal advantage that should make things a lot | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
easier. But last night city went out in Monaco in pretty lacklustre | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
fashion. I do not think you will find many people who did not think | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
Monaco deserve to go through. They overturned a 2-goal deficit very | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
quickly, inside half an hour. I think Manchester City will find it | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
difficult going forward. There was not much reaction afterwards from | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
the players. There was a tweet from one player, the German | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
international, who said, hard night, a tough loss. We will learn from it | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
and we will come back better next year. They will have to learn from | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
this. It is food for thought for Pep Guardiola. He needs a stronger | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
central midfield and he could do with a completely new back four and | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
that will cost them a lot of money. If there is one clap happy to spend | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
it, it is Manchester City. Interestingly Pep Guardiola said it | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
is not about the goalkeeper and the defence, but it could be an | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
interesting set of transfers. Rory McIlroy has had some choice words | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
for Muirfield golf club and its members. Yes, Muirfield made a | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
U-turn as we know against their initial decision not to allow female | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
members. It really annoyed the former world number one and it was | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
disappointed last year. He previously described the plan as | :15:09. | :15:09. | |
obscene. They sort of saw sense. I think it | :15:10. | :15:22. | |
got to the stage where it was horrendous. Whether they will let | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
them back in, every time I go to Muirfield I will not have a great | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
taste my mouth. He says the next time he plays that he will not be | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
having many cups of tea with the members afterwards. In his eyes | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
Muirfield just cannot win. A lack of trained skin | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
specialists is having a huge That's the claim from | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
the British Association They say one in four posts | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
are unfilled across the UK - and it's been getting worse over | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
the past decade. Acne is a skin condition that | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
affects many people at some Treatment is often hard to get | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
and can come with side effects. YouTuber Katie Snooks has | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
vlogged her battle with acne - and has made this documentary | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
for Radio 1 Newsbeat. Hey everyone, I am Katie snookers | :16:11. | :16:25. | |
and you can only find me here. I have suffered with acne for the last | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
decade and honestly it has controlled every aspect of my life | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
from my social life, dating, and also my self-confidence. I don't | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
feel beautiful at all. My confidence is Willie Le Roux today. I tried | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
five different antibiotics, even light therapy, none of them worked, | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
until recently I finally had success. I have spent the last eight | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
months clogging my journey, taking the sometimes controversial drug | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
more commonly known as Moeaki ten. The success rate is higher but also | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
hard to get from you can't get it from your GP -- Roaccutane. I | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
recently finished a treatment and just uploaded by last skin update on | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
my YouTube channel and the transformation on my skin has just | :17:18. | :17:29. | |
been amazing. Brendan Rogers so I finally found a drug that cleared my | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
skin. But I want to know how people deal with the emotional side, the | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
self-confident and the way you feel about being you. Time to catch the | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
train, I am off to Edinburgh. The first time I went on it it | :17:45. | :18:00. | |
totally cleared up and it was really good, it cleared up for about a year | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
and then it just came back. I feel like it came back even worse than | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
the first time. Say you lived with perfect skin for a whole year? I | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
would not say perfect because I still had scarring from the spots | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
before, but I was happy with my skin. That is like the only time in | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
about eight years I have been happy with my skin. You are trying a new | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
treatment now. It is a suction and laser treatment, and they just go | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
around your skin and they suck the bacteria out and then zap it with a | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
laser to basically kill any leftover bacteria. What is the first edited | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
your make-up regime? I always start by covering the majority of the | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
redness with some high coverage concealer. OK. That looks like an | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
amazing product. It so good, I love it. This is BBC radio one Saturday | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
night, this is Danny Howard, and a big shout out to the girls getting | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
ready for a massive night out in Edinburgh. Taxi's here, let's go for | :19:01. | :19:10. | |
our night out. Let's do this! Livy is training to be a beauty therapist | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
and she says nights out like this are some of the times she does most | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
of conscious about her skin. You feel like the odd one out, you stick | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
out like a sore thumb. Also I feel like through the night, the make-up | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
comes off as well and that is not as nice as it is during the start of | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
the night. Do you feel like Libby gets jealous of you and the friends | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
who have never really suffered with acne? I wouldn't say so, Libya is | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
not like a jealous person, but I do see that she is not confident in | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
herself, and that is a real shame -- Libby. There are so many other girls | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
that aren't as pretty as her. I have been thinking, are you kind of | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
pinning all your hopes on this treatment that you are on? I think I | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
am, just the amount of money I paid for it, it is like my own savings | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
and things like that. But if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, and I | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
will try something new, hopefully not as expensive. I have noticed a | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
difference in my skin and I have only had two treatments of it, so | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
fingers crossed. It was lovely to meet Libby, but it dawned on me just | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
how much she is spending on this treatment. It is costing her ?600, | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
and that is on top of all the make-up she is buying as well. I can | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
relate to her same much and I really know how it feels to pin all your | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
hopes on the one acne treatment. Day one of Roaccutane, I have taken one | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
pill, so it is kind of the first day. Nothing has really happened | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
yet. I have woken up and my lips feel weird. I am worried about these | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
big ones all coming at the same time because that will be very painful | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
and very unattractive. Day 18. I was not going to film today because I | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
didn't feel like it, but I thought I would be completely honest and show | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
you guys, today is really hard. My skin hasn't been this bad in a very | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
long time. I put so much hope and so much faith in the every single thing | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
I tried for acne, and when things didn't work, it just crashed me even | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
more. I am wondering what are the other solutions available for people | :21:36. | :21:36. | |
like Libby? So I have come to meet one of the | :21:37. | :21:48. | |
UK's leading dermatologists. Nice to see you. I met Libby if you days ago | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
and she has tried Roaccutane three times and it has not worked her. Now | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
she is trying to pay her own money for a new light therapy treatment | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
that she is pinning her last hopes on. I was wondering if there are any | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
other treatments left available for her or people like her? I wouldn't | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
say there is anything imminent that will topple Roaccutane off its | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
perch, but there are particular light -based treatments now that | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
seemed to be gaining more evidence to suggest they may help. For Libby, | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
I think getting support from consultant dermatologists privately | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
if it is not possible because the NHS is so burdened with probably | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
make a film or empowered and enabled. I have just finished my | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
course of Roaccutane after eight months, and I was googling and | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
researching it a lot before I started. There are a lots of | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
controversial things about Roaccutane on the internet, is it | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
that controversial? It is an extremely strong medication for | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
acne, and acne is not a life-threatening disease, so it is | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
always a matter of balancing up the pros and cons. It doesn't come | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
without risks and it is understanding the risks. I know from | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
experience that if you have acne it is always there in the back of your | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
mind, no matter how many smiles you put on for other people. I am | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
supposed to be going out tonight. I'm supposed to be going out | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
tonight, and now I just really don't want to. Not only is it raking out, | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
it is also so itchy. And it hurts, it is painful as well -- breaking | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
out. It becomes really infuriating when girls with clear skin on social | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
media, especially some of the ones I follow on Twitter and Snapchat, they | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
are like oh, I have got a spot, everything is ruined, and they have | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
the tiniest little spot you can't even see. I have something weird | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
going on with my eyes, some kind of eye infection, it makes me want to | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
gouge my eyes out. Just really fresh grated. Today, I'm going to beat | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
Sarah. She got in touch with us about her acne, she suffered with it | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
for an awful long time and we are also going to be meeting her son, | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
George, he also has acne. I am unsure about how much he will talk | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
to us about it but let's go and have a chat. I'm Katie. So your mum got | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
in touch with us about her acne, how did you feel when you found out? Not | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
too bad, really. I think it is quite good you are doing a documentary, | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
because people can understand what it is like a stop almost everyone | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
has or suffers with acne in their lives but when you are going through | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
it it always feels like you are the only one. I look at myself in the | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
mirror and think, this is worse than everybody else. I don't really look | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
at other people's faces specifically, I kind of just | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
criticise myself for it. You sometimes wear make to cover your | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
acne, can you tell me about that? Of course it was a bit of a shock, and | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
then everyone suddenly realised, what is the difference? Because all | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
the girls in my year would slather themselves at make-up as soon as | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
they got a spot. At the stage I was, I think that everyone could | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
empathise with me and see I was doing this, because I was at such a | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
bad point really. It made you feel better about yourself? It did, it | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
covered it up, when I looked in the mirror I didn't look atrocious, I | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
just looked normal. Do you have any pictures and would you mind me | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
having a look? You can have a look, yes. George is 15 and it takes some | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
real guts to show me these pictures. Surveys are coming back from | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
holiday. As you can see, I look pretty bad. Not at my worst. That is | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
not at your worst? He is now at rock -- on Roaccutane butchering the | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
cameras what he looked like before Vila is a step too far. It is not | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
only your tea zone. It was your entire face covered with quite big. | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
And it was my back, my neck, and getting to sleep was a struggle. I | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
had to deal with my face in the day and my back at night. I'm sorry to | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
say this, but it almost makes you look like a different person, | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
because the kind of cysts are so big, they kind of distort your face. | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
You're yes, they did. I was quite swollen as well. Thank you so much | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
for showing me these pictures and for talking me today, you are super | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
inspiring. I thought we had a unique story, me and George, because we | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
both have acne, we are both on Roaccutane. If showing the world his | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
acne at his worst is too much for George, his man has had decades to | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
grow in confidence. Here we go. Oh my gosh! That was pretty much rock | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
bottom. That was horrendous. When you woke up every day... Literally | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
every time I looked at the mirror it had changed. It was like it was | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
moving around, it was getting worse and worse. When George was kind of | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
nearing the age that you started to get it, were you worried about that? | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
I always said as soon as they got spots they would go to the doctors. | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
Did it make you feel guilty at all? Now, it makes me feel a bit sad, but | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
I can't feel guilty because it is nothing I have done wrong. I feel | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
for George, that he has had to go through this. He has dealt with it | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
really well. He is a very resilient kid. And that is what it is all | :27:38. | :27:46. | |
about really. You finding ways to deal and cope with the acne, rather | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
than letting it control every aspect of your life. Sometimes you have to | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
find a way to stay positive. I am a keen photographer, it is what | :27:54. | :28:08. | |
my degree is in, so I wanted to do something to make all the people I | :28:09. | :28:21. | |
have met feel better. Cute! Big smile. Do you guys have one thing | :28:22. | :28:29. | |
that you would say to someone suffering with acne? If the doctor | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
doesn't give you the answer you want, go to another doctor, and ask | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
for a referral to the dermatologist if the medication is not working. | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
You are never alone, there is a worse Manaus out there who are | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
suffering as well, and try to talk to, even if they don't have acne, | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
there will always want to talk to you. | :28:48. | :28:57. | |
The carpet for that is. Do you like it? Yes. -- look how beautiful that | :28:58. | :29:07. | |
is. It has been absolutely amazing to meet so many inspiring people | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
along this acne journey, who all have great ways of dealing with | :29:13. | :29:14. | |
their acne to make themselves feel better. You can go and talk to your | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
doctor and see what treatments are readily available. You can also | :29:19. | :29:21. | |
visit a dermatologist and listen to their advice and take it in, because | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
they are the experts. Whatever stage of your acne journey you are on, | :29:27. | :29:29. | |
there are still ways to feel great about yourself. We will talk to | :29:30. | :29:40. | |
Katie live after ten. And Sarah who was in the film, we will talk to. | :29:41. | :29:43. | |
Get in touch with your own experiences as you already. Emma | :29:44. | :29:49. | |
says I have been on Roaccutane twice, currently have fairly clear | :29:50. | :29:55. | |
skin. I am 44 but my dirty -- my daughter is 13, I had pushed, so she | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
is on Roaccutane the six months. I am very fishy because I am | :30:01. | :30:03. | |
determined my daughter will not go through what I went through. We went | :30:04. | :30:10. | |
-- we live in Devon, did not give my GP much choice, just told him what I | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
want her. I still have huge confidence issues. This from Sally, | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
please tell George and his mum they are beautiful and brave and so kind | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
to share their experiences with others. We will also talk about the | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
potential side-effects to Roaccutane after ten o'clock with a GP and | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
representatives from the British Association of dermatologists. | :30:31. | :30:35. | |

Reeta chakrabarti is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary | :30:57. | :30:58. | |
The Conservative Party has been fined a record ?70,000 for breaching | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
It relates to the by-elections in 2014, and the 2015 general election. | :31:04. | :31:10. | |
Several police forces in England have submitted files to prosecutors | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
as part of their investigations into claims of over-spending. | :31:14. | :31:15. | |
The Electoral Commission says it's the biggest fine of its type | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
Our investigation, we're reporting today, looked | :31:20. | :31:27. | |
to the Conservative Party's national spending return for three | :31:28. | :31:29. | |
by-elections in 2014 and the Parliamentary general | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
As a result of that, we found a high number of mistakes | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
and errors and as a result, we have fined them ?70,000, | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
which is the highest ever find we've issued. | :31:42. | :31:47. | |
which is the highest ever fine we've issued. | :31:48. | :31:49. | |
The Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, has claimed victory | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
in his country's general election, saying the Netherlands | :31:53. | :31:54. | |
rejected what he described as "the wrong sort of populism". | :31:55. | :31:56. | |
Votes are still being counted, but Mr Rutte's centre-right party | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
The indications are that the far-right candidate, | :32:00. | :32:04. | |
Geert Wilders, performed worse than expected, although his Freedom | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
There's been another setback for President Trump's new travel ban. | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
It's been blocked by a federal judge in Hawaii just hours before | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
The President wanted to stop people from six predominantly Muslim | :32:16. | :32:20. | |
countries from travelling to the United States. | :32:21. | :32:22. | |
Mr Trump has reacted angrily, accusing the judge | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
CCTV footage has emerged of the final movements of an Irish woman | :32:26. | :33:01. | |
murdered in the southern Indian state of Goa. Danielle McLauchlin's | :33:02. | :33:05. | |
body was discovered in an open field close to tourist resorts on Tuesday. | :33:06. | :33:11. | |
She had lived in Liverpool and was travelling on a British passport. A | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
A 24-year-old man has been charged with her murder. | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News, more at 10:00. | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
News just in and it is to do with Toyota and their plant near Derby. | :33:21. | :33:30. | |
They are going to invest ?240 million to upgrade the planned to | :33:31. | :33:35. | |
enable the production of vehicles using Toyota's new global | :33:36. | :33:40. | |
manufacturing system. This is a massive investment from the Japanese | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
car-maker. Toyota is going to invest almost a quarter of ?1 billion in | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
its UK operators to upgrade the Burnaston plant near Derby. He said | :33:51. | :33:55. | |
it will improve plant competitiveness and promote UK | :33:56. | :34:01. | |
supply chain efficiencies. Also at Deeside in North Wales they employ | :34:02. | :34:08. | |
3400 workers. The government is throwing in something as well. They | :34:09. | :34:13. | |
are providing over ?21 million for funding in training, research and | :34:14. | :34:21. | |
development. Toyota has been making cars in Britain since 1992 and they | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
have announced a huge investment in their plant in this country, ?240 | :34:26. | :34:31. | |
million. The government is chipping in 21 million quid. Reaction to come | :34:32. | :34:38. | |
because it could involve more jobs as well. More reaction throughout | :34:39. | :34:45. | |
the morning. Now the sports news. Manchester city boss Pep Guardiola | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
has refused to blame his goalkeeper or his defence for their exit from | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
the Champions League despite conceding six in the two leg against | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
Monaco. They eventually went out on away goals. It is the first time he | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
has failed to take aside at least to the last four in the competition. | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
Gareth Southgate names his England squad today. Former golf world | :35:09. | :35:16. | |
number one Rory McIlroy has continued his criticism of Muirfield | :35:17. | :35:19. | |
despite their U-turn on female members. He called the previous ban | :35:20. | :35:26. | |
obscene. Roger Federer has continued his resurgence with another victory | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
over Rafael Nadal. The Australian open champion reached the last eight | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
in Indian Wells with a 6-3, 6-2 when. We will be back later with the | :35:36. | :35:41. | |
England rugby union squad details for their six Nations match at the | :35:42. | :35:43. | |
weekend. Votes from the Dutch election | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
are still being counted but the centre-right liberal party | :35:50. | :35:51. | |
led by Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, has easily beaten | :35:52. | :35:53. | |
the anti-immigration Freedom party. Other leaders in Europe will be | :35:54. | :35:59. | |
breathing a sigh of relief with France calling the result | :36:00. | :36:01. | |
a clear victory against extremism. Starting the night at | :36:02. | :36:15. | |
the Prime Minister's party We are inside the Liberal Party | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
party, or at least we are They are happy, not a major | :36:19. | :36:26. | |
celebration, but they believe their Prime Minister has done enough | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
to continue in power. This is the parliament bar | :36:31. | :36:46. | |
where politicians come to speak to journalists, | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
but nobody here knows There is no official | :36:50. | :36:51. | |
Freedom Party party, but we are told there is a bar just | :36:52. | :36:57. | |
down here where his party members get together, | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
so we are going to have a look. We are on the road heading | :37:01. | :37:07. | |
to Amsterdam to see the man who is known as the rock star | :37:08. | :37:20. | |
of Dutch politics. Jesse Klaver, the leader | :37:21. | :37:22. | |
of the Green Party, probably one of the biggest winners | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
of this election. He is having his victory | :37:26. | :37:27. | |
party in a music venue. I supported Jesse Klaver | :37:28. | :37:42. | |
because I think he has a really strong story about optimism and hope | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
and he has some really realistic plans about how to get | :37:46. | :37:48. | |
the country more social, also more liberal and more green and | :37:49. | :37:51. | |
that is what I want in a politician. Everyone at this Green party | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
clearly very excited The fact is, though, | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
Jesse Klaver is not going to be the next Prime Minister | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
of the Netherlands yet, but he could play a hugely | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
influential role in the next Let's speak now to Liza Mugge, | :38:10. | :38:12. | |
who is an Associate professor at department of Political Science | :38:13. | :38:20. | |
at University of Amsterdam. Emanuel Coman, Assistant Professor | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
of Political Science Erwin Van Dalen in Rotterdam | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
who's voted for Geert And Ahmed Larouz is a Dutch Morrocan | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
voter in Amsterdam, he What is your reaction to the fact | :38:32. | :38:51. | |
the Prime Minister will continue? It is a good sign and everybody is | :38:52. | :38:58. | |
happy that the popular party did not win. It is a good sign for the Dutch | :38:59. | :39:05. | |
community. And also for everybody in Europe. I am really happy to see | :39:06. | :39:20. | |
that they will continue and people are maybe more involved than ever in | :39:21. | :39:28. | |
politics. I think we had more than 80% who turned out to vote, so it is | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
a good sign to see the Dutch people, all of them, want to stop populism. | :39:35. | :39:41. | |
Do you agree that this signals the end of the anti immigrant, anti-EU | :39:42. | :39:46. | |
parties across Europe or not? No, I do not think so. I think Geert | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
Wilders has become the second party in Holland and in the surroundings | :39:53. | :39:59. | |
of Rotterdam you see a very big line running through left and right and | :40:00. | :40:06. | |
that is a problem that I think the government needs to pick up on. A | :40:07. | :40:17. | |
party beat the Labour Party in a huge way and they have been | :40:18. | :40:19. | |
annihilated, so I hope the Dutch government will listen. If they are | :40:20. | :40:26. | |
listening, what is the message? I think they have already got the | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
message. I looked at the interviews yesterday with the big parties on | :40:33. | :40:40. | |
Dutch national television. They understood what the voters wanted to | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
say. We basically reached 20 seats without much campaigning, without | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
much money. So I think the other parties need to listen to Geert | :40:50. | :40:57. | |
Wilders. How do you read this. Explain to a British audience is the | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
significance of the outcome of this election. Yes, so, Geert Wilders did | :41:01. | :41:12. | |
not win as people feared, so it was 20 seats and he went five seats up. | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
But it is not the earthquake that people were afraid, that was | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
predicted. It was a very exciting campaign because in the polls both | :41:25. | :41:29. | |
parties could become potentially the biggest party. So the fact that Mark | :41:30. | :41:39. | |
Rutte still one substantially is a relief to many voters. But still I | :41:40. | :41:47. | |
think Geert Wilders's piety will have substantial influence on the | :41:48. | :41:53. | |
ideas of the other mainstream parties. Sorry to interrupt. How | :41:54. | :42:00. | |
will that translate in terms of policies? What will change in Dutch | :42:01. | :42:07. | |
society as a result of that substantial influence? In opposition | :42:08. | :42:15. | |
he probably will push Mark Rutte for more restrictive immigration | :42:16. | :42:25. | |
policies. But he will never get the Netherlands to go for an exit. That | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
will not happen. From the EU. OK. Let me bring in the Assistant | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
Professor of political science at Trinity College in Dublin. If you | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
are Marine Le Pen in France and you see what has happened to Geert | :42:41. | :42:43. | |
Wilders in the Dutch election, what would you read into it? Well, it is | :42:44. | :42:53. | |
really hard to tell. It is too early to tell whether there is a shift. It | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
is a pleasant surprise for me that they did not do as well as they were | :42:58. | :43:05. | |
expected to do. It is probably a function of a few things. First, | :43:06. | :43:11. | |
when extreme parties are expected to win big, the voters of all other | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
parties are likely to mobilise and go out and vote and that seemed to | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
be the case according to the early exit polls. Also, another potential | :43:21. | :43:27. | |
cause would be the fact that it is quite obvious for a lot of voters | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
across Europe that Brexit is not going as smoothly as it was promised | :43:32. | :43:39. | |
by the leave campaign. Third, the refugee crisis is not a salient and | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
issue as it was a year ago when the referendum in Britain took place. | :43:45. | :43:50. | |
So, the conclusion would be that populism comes and goes in waves. I | :43:51. | :43:57. | |
think now it is on a slight decline compared to what we expected at the | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
beginning of the year and the end of last year. I would be worried if I | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
was Marine Le Pen. Thank you very much all of you. Still to come: New | :44:07. | :44:13. | |
rules on claiming disability benefits are coming into force today | :44:14. | :44:15. | |
and we will be talking to people affected by those changes. We will | :44:16. | :44:22. | |
also be explaining those changes. There are so many e-mails about the | :44:23. | :44:26. | |
subject of acne. We watched a film earlier. Tony on Facebook, my heart | :44:27. | :44:35. | |
goes out to this young lady. My son, 16, also suffers from bad acne. We | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
have tried everything and nothing has worked. Angela says, I struggle | :44:41. | :44:45. | |
for ten years and three weeks ago I used dead Sea Salt and my problems | :44:46. | :44:51. | |
have gone. This affected my life for so long. John says, I had acne for | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
years and my doctor tried everything, including antibiotics, | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
but a nurse told me to give up all sugar and my acne went within eight | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
weeks. Molly says, I am 23, I have been suffering from acne for the | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
past eight months. I have seen my GP several times and have only just | :45:13. | :45:17. | |
been referred to an NHS dermatologist. The waiting list is | :45:18. | :45:21. | |
three months long, so I decided to go private last week. I never | :45:22. | :45:26. | |
suffered as a teenager and I feel like there is no support for acne | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
sufferers, especially those in their 20s. | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
Misses we are going to talk to our industry correspondent about the | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
breaking news that Toyota, the Japanese car maker, has announced it | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
will invest ?240 million to upgrade its Burnaston plant near Derby. That | :45:45. | :45:52. | |
is one heck of an investment, ?240 million at the Burnaston plant near | :45:53. | :45:55. | |
Derby. It also will have a knock-on effect at Teesside in North Wales. | :45:56. | :46:03. | |
The governed is also providing ?21 million in funding for training, | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
research and developing. We will talk to our correspondence about | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
that right now, John Moylan, can you hear me? Yes, I can. OK, so we have | :46:12. | :46:16. | |
broken the news to our audience this morning, it is a huge investment | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
from Toyota. Fill us in with the details. A really significant | :46:21. | :46:26. | |
investment, Toyota started building cars here back in 1992, almost a | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
quarter of the century, they have made about 4 million cars here. In | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
their systems around the world they are now upgrading their new global | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
architecture, the system is under way in which they are going to build | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
the cars of the future. This morning they have announced they will invest | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
?240 million here in the UK to upgrade this facility so that it can | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
build cars and vehicles using this new architecture. You have to see it | :46:50. | :46:58. | |
as a vote of confidence in the UK, but it would seem to suggest amid | :46:59. | :47:01. | |
all of the worries me how about Brexit and our future trading | :47:02. | :47:04. | |
arrangements that Toyota is at least apparently making plans for the | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
future here. And the government adding this 21 million in funding | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
for training, research and of element and various other things to | :47:14. | :47:16. | |
do with improving its environmental performance. Does that sound like | :47:17. | :47:22. | |
the sort of thing they might have done with Nissen in Sunderland? -- | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
with Nissan in Sunderland? Vila guess. The big question is what kind | :47:27. | :47:34. | |
of deal was done here. I have been asking was there some kind of letter | :47:35. | :47:40. | |
exchanged between Toyota and the Secretary of State which ties down | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
all the various commitments? I am being told by officials that the | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
government is making the same sort of assurances that it gave to | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
Nissan, in terms of moving to do things like bring back of the more | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
supply chain so that more of the parts of the car sourced in the UK | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
are not subject to tariffs, if we have tariffs to bring in exports in | :48:00. | :48:05. | |
the future, help with RND and training and skills -- are and | :48:06. | :48:10. | |
Steve. There is no talk of a special deal, but ?21 million of government | :48:11. | :48:16. | |
funding. It is a sizeable investment. Last year, and in the | :48:17. | :48:23. | |
aftermath of the boat -- R In the aftermath of the vote. It | :48:24. | :48:34. | |
slowed down to something like ?1.6 billion. This is a significant | :48:35. | :48:37. | |
investment by a long-standing player in the UK. It does seem to suggest | :48:38. | :48:46. | |
that Toyota is looking certainly to the short and medium term. There | :48:47. | :48:54. | |
will be ready to take this global architecture which it plans to build | :48:55. | :49:00. | |
all of its models on in the future. John Moylan at Toyota in Derby. | :49:01. | :49:04. | |
Since retiring from the military, Prince Harry has worked hard | :49:05. | :49:06. | |
to tackle the stigma of mental health issues affecting service | :49:07. | :49:09. | |
personnel through his Heads Together campaign. | :49:10. | :49:10. | |
Today he's addressing a conference in London of mental health experts | :49:11. | :49:13. | |
They'll be discussing ways to improve treatment and support | :49:14. | :49:20. | |
Let's speak now to Deirdra MacManus who's a clinical psychiatrist | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
with the London Veteran Service and to three veterans | :49:26. | :49:27. | |
who have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. | :49:28. | :49:30. | |
Thank you very much all of us for talking -- all of you for talking to | :49:31. | :49:50. | |
us. J, what can you tell us that your last day in Afghanistan and the | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
ambush by the Taliban, which killed your friend, Zack? Right, OK. I had | :49:54. | :50:07. | |
been out in Afghanistan for about five months, and I got to know Zack | :50:08. | :50:16. | |
through training and deploying into Afghanistan. Afghanistan was by far | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
the worst tour I had ever done. I had seen semi-people lose their | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
lives, British soldiers and civilians. And I think it was the | :50:26. | :50:35. | |
whole combination of seeing so much death and losing a friend and | :50:36. | :50:42. | |
colleague, Zack. I just kind of lost faith in society. Right, and when | :50:43. | :50:49. | |
you returned home, you developed PTSD. What did that look like, what | :50:50. | :50:57. | |
did that feel like? It kind of crept up on me, to be honest, Victoria. It | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
took three or four months to build up. I just remember one day I went | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
across to my local church, and I had a prayer, and I said I need your | :51:07. | :51:11. | |
help, I think I am losing it here. I remember going back home, and within | :51:12. | :51:15. | |
an hour or so, I decided that I didn't want to be alive any more. I | :51:16. | :51:22. | |
was feeling guilt, in a lot of anger. Yeah, and experiencing all | :51:23. | :51:29. | |
that out in Afghanistan, and then you come home, and you experienced | :51:30. | :51:33. | |
it when you are out there, you put the news on and it is happening | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
still to this very second. I just kind of thought I had just given up. | :51:39. | :51:46. | |
So I kind of took four overdoses in total to try and end my life, and | :51:47. | :51:55. | |
the last occasion I tried to hang myself. Even the way I was living, I | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
was hoarding rubbish around my home, I was hoarding bottles of you | :52:00. | :52:13. | |
bottles of you're in. The military charity came in and saw what I was | :52:14. | :52:23. | |
living and the state I was in, and SAFA. The funding to put my home | :52:24. | :52:27. | |
back to normal again and just start trying to live a normal life again. | :52:28. | :52:35. | |
Thank you for being so frank and how it affected you. I will bring in | :52:36. | :52:42. | |
Jan. During the Iraq war, you were holding a -- running a field | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
hospital in Basra which came under as I understand it daily fire from | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
2007 onwards. Give us an insight into that. It was really for the | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
first three months, the hospital had moved, so we were within striking | :52:57. | :53:04. | |
distance of the enemy, and they rocketed the camp on a daily basis | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
and during the night. So as well is having some traumatic patients and | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
obviously deaths, there was a risk to all of my scarf who had to carry | :53:17. | :53:22. | |
on, regardless of whether we wanted a rocket -- were under a rocket | :53:23. | :53:30. | |
attack or not. It was a huge responsibility trying to keep them | :53:31. | :53:36. | |
safe, and mentally support them, and lead them, and not show that I was | :53:37. | :53:50. | |
actually scared myself. You, as I understand it, first developed | :53:51. | :53:55. | |
symptoms of PTSD in 2011. You were medically discharged in 2014. What | :53:56. | :54:00. | |
is your life like now? I continue to struggle. PTSD is very complex. It | :54:01. | :54:08. | |
affects every part of your daily life. I still have insomnia, | :54:09. | :54:17. | |
nightmares, flashbacks. I've got depression. I come at one point, was | :54:18. | :54:27. | |
drinking and the self-medicating, self harming. And then there are | :54:28. | :54:35. | |
things like, the simple things you are able to do, like go out to | :54:36. | :54:42. | |
places. My anxiety levels are very high. I also find it very hard to | :54:43. | :54:52. | |
concentrate, so if I have to fill in documents, or read certain things, | :54:53. | :54:54. | |
some of that information doesn't go in. I was doing a Masters, I | :54:55. | :55:07. | |
consider myself relatively bright, but not being able to do just the | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
simple things, like get washed, cook a meal, and get out, you lose | :55:13. | :55:21. | |
purpose, and without purpose, what is the point of going on? I can see | :55:22. | :55:28. | |
Jay and also Scotty nodding with some of your description there. | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
Scotty, you were stationed in Bosnia, Kosovo and Northern Ireland, | :55:33. | :55:35. | |
and were left traumatised by some of the things you saw, which triggered | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
a cycle of anxiety and PTSD. What did you do to try to take the pain | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
away? First of all, good morning, and it is great that the guys are | :55:46. | :55:52. | |
being frank and open this morning. Yes, my trauma relates back to 1996, | :55:53. | :55:57. | |
witnessing the worst that humanity could do to each other on the | :55:58. | :56:00. | |
streets of United Kingdom, as a young 20-year-old lad. I was very | :56:01. | :56:05. | |
much scared, and my life was in danger. At that period, I did know | :56:06. | :56:13. | |
what was going on, I wasn't sleeping, I wasn't eating, and as | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
Jan highlighted there, I was self-medicating, self-medicating | :56:20. | :56:22. | |
with a lot of alcohol. Alcohol can lead onto a lot of violence, a lot | :56:23. | :56:27. | |
of fighting, and again it was not an act of bravado, it was a fact that I | :56:28. | :56:33. | |
wanted to feel pain against me for some of the guilt that I witnessed | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
and had been involved in. Also then when I moved to Germany, the | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
drinking and the violence still continued, trying to portray the | :56:42. | :56:47. | |
professional soldier, I then had to take cocaine while I was at work, so | :56:48. | :56:52. | |
I could function properly, and then the pain, the nightmare, the terrors | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
were getting too much. I ended up on the streets in Germany, injecting | :56:58. | :57:04. | |
heroin to try and get the pain to disappear from my mind. We are | :57:05. | :57:08. | |
showing our audience a picture of you alongside Prince Harry in | :57:09. | :57:14. | |
potentially happier times, because you are both smiling. Tell me why | :57:15. | :57:20. | |
you think it is important to talk about this stuff? Absolutely, it is | :57:21. | :57:24. | |
massively important. We have got to talk about it now because back then, | :57:25. | :57:30. | |
in the earlier days, there was still a massive stigma, and I still | :57:31. | :57:33. | |
believe there is a slight stigma, but it is getting better, because at | :57:34. | :57:37. | |
the time then when you were ill and you were sick in hospital, you could | :57:38. | :57:40. | |
not do your due to is, to go and exercise. That was frowned upon, you | :57:41. | :57:46. | |
are becoming a hindrance. One of the things in the military is if you | :57:47. | :57:49. | |
have a problem you have to deal with it yourself. So what of the things | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
as we don't talk about it but now 20 years on we are all chatting about | :57:54. | :57:57. | |
it, and I am really glad that His Royal Higness, Prince Harry, and the | :57:58. | :58:01. | |
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have set up Heads Together and other | :58:02. | :58:05. | |
mental health charities and now we are pushing forward to try to make | :58:06. | :58:09. | |
people not go down the same path that I went down, and to say there | :58:10. | :58:12. | |
is nothing to be ashamed of any Morkel mate is OK to put your hand | :58:13. | :58:16. | |
up and ask for help. If I can do it, we can all do it. The place where I | :58:17. | :58:22. | |
met -- where I met Jan a few years ago, up in Aberdeenshire in | :58:23. | :58:26. | |
Scotland, where they take guys wounded from all conflicts, all | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
injuries, and they bring them in and they work with the forces. Using | :58:32. | :58:39. | |
that sort of charity and network and support network, Horseback UK and | :58:40. | :58:43. | |
Help For Heroes and Heads Together, it is fantastic. We must have that | :58:44. | :58:48. | |
network, that communication, open communication, and we have got to | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
talk about it. It is all right to have rubbish days, but it is the | :58:54. | :58:56. | |
understanding that it is a rubbish day and how now do we move on? | :58:57. | :59:03. | |
Either with medication, psychiatry, support networks, through sport, | :59:04. | :59:08. | |
having the Invictus games for example, helping the wounded, | :59:09. | :59:11. | |
injured and sick push on through sport as a recovery, definitely. We | :59:12. | :59:16. | |
must talk about it. And we do regularly on this programme, I'm | :59:17. | :59:20. | |
pleased to say. Deirdre, a final thought for you, because we are | :59:21. | :59:24. | |
coming up to the news, you are a consultant psychiatrist with the | :59:25. | :59:29. | |
London veteran service, what kind of treatments do you provide? It is | :59:30. | :59:32. | |
great to hear people talking so eloquently about this and raising | :59:33. | :59:36. | |
awareness. I work for the loan couldn't -- the London veteran | :59:37. | :59:39. | |
service, we see all the trends whether they have PTSD, depression, | :59:40. | :59:45. | |
anxiety, alcohol misuse problems. We provide psychological intervention | :59:46. | :59:51. | |
as well as medication, and welfare support, as Scotty identified, it is | :59:52. | :59:55. | |
so important. It is important to stress there are effective | :59:56. | :00:04. | |
treatments for PTSD. CBT, eye movement reprocessing, it can be | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
very effective. It is about recognising these problems as early | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
as possible and trying to get treatment as early as possible. OK, | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
thank you very much, Deirdre. J and Jan and Scotty, I really appreciate | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
your openness, thanks much. Coming up to ten o'clock, the latest | :00:20. | :00:44. | |

up to 15 or 16. Then there's whether Frank comes in across England and | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
North Wales. Feeling cooler. Tonight that whether Frank continues its | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
descent, getting down into the South East with its patchy rain. A packet | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
of showers coming in on a brisk wind, some of which will be wintry. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
We see a touch of frost and eyes on untreated surfaces. But tomorrow we | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
have a band of heavy rain coming across Northern Ireland, central and | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
southern Scotland, northern England and Wales, eradicating the bright | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
start. We hang on to the milder conditions in the south, but feeling | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
much cooler in the North. Hello, it's Thursday 16th March, | :01:51. | :01:56. | |

in its UK operations. Toyota says that it will invest | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
?240 million to upgrade the Burnaston plant near Derby | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
to enable production of vehicles using its new global | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
manufacturing system. Toyota says the investment | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
will improve plant competitiveness and promote UK supply chain | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
efficiencies. They have announced they will invest | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
?240 million in the UK to upgrade this facility so it can build | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
vehicles using this new architecture. You have to say there | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
is a vote of confidence in making cars in the UK. It would seem to | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
suggest that amid all the worries and concerns about Brexit and our | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
future trading arrangements, Toyota is at least making plans for the | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
The Conservative Party has been fined a record ?70,000 for breaching | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
It relates to the 2015 general election and by-elections in 2014. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Several police forces in England have submitted files to prosecutors | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
as part of their investigations into claims of over-spending. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
The Electoral Commission says it's the biggest fine of its type | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Our investigation we're reporting today looked | :04:04. | :04:15. | |
to the Conservative Party's national spending return for three | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
by-elections in 2014 and the Parliamentary general | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
As a result of that, we found a high number of mistakes | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
and errors and as a result, we have fined them ?70,000, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
which is the highest ever fine we've issued. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Former England footballer Adam Johnson has lost his challenge | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
against a sentence by sexual activity against an underage fan. He | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
was jailed last March for grooming and sexual activity with a girl of | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
15. The Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has claimed victory in the | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
general election saying the Netherlands rejected what he | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
described as the wrong sort of populism. The votes are still being | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
counted, but his centre-right party is on course for winning the most | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
seats. Indications are that the far right candidate, Geert Wilders, | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
There's been another setback for President Trump's new travel ban. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
It's been blocked by a federal judge in Hawaii just hours before | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
The President wanted to stop people from six predominantly Muslim | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
countries from travelling to the United States. | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
Mr Trump has reacted angrily, accusing the judge | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
CCTV footage has emerged of the final movements of an Irish | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
woman murdered in the southern Indian state of Goa. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Danielle McLaughlin's body was discovered in an open field | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
close to tourist resorts in Canacona on Tuesday. | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
Ms McLaughlin had lived in Liverpool and was travelling | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
A 24-year-old man, has been charged with her murder. | :05:45. | :05:56. | |
We will have more at 10:30 a.m.. Sophie says, I am 24 and I live in | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
Suffolk and my acne started when I was 12, I have had six different | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
types of medicines and four courses of antibiotics. None of this cure my | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
acne, they kept the spots away. It was not until I had my daughter and | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
finished breast-feeding that I was referred to my dermatologist. My | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
Roaccutane was tough, with dry lips, but the effects were very quick. I | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
decided this was better than low confidence and self esteem I was | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
experiencing. I am seven months post-Roaccutane and I have a lot of | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
scarring and spots still coming up, but they are more like pimples. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Thank you boys shining a light. I have got a lot more and I will read | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
them after the spot. to the side that thrashed Scotland, | :06:53. | :07:03. | |
as they prepare to face Ireland in the Six Nations | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
on Saturday afternoon. In 40 hours per time England will be | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
looking to make history, a record-breaking 19th straight win is | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
on the line as our back-to-back grand slams which has not been | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
achieved by an England side since the early 1990s. | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
Eddie Jones has made two changes. Billy Vunipola is restored at number | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
eight instead of Nathan Hughes. Anthony Watson is back in for Jack | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
Nowell. It looks like an incredibly strong England replacements bench. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
England start as favourites, Ireland will be desperate for retribution | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
after their defeat by Wales last Friday night. It promises to be some | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
occasion at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday afternoon. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Leicester City are the sole British club in tomorrow's draw | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
for the Champions League quarterfinals after | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
Manchester City lost to Monaco on away goals last night. | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
City held a two-goal advantage going into the match but Monaco | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
At that point they were heading through, but Manchester City | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
pressure brought a Leroy Sane goal which put them back ahead overall. | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
The crucial Monaco goal came in final quarter of an hour. | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
It finished 3-1 on the night, with Monaco through | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
We played 45 minutes and we created a lot of chances there. | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
But we missed 45 minutes and we have spoke lots of times, | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
these days to try to be our strength is to be aggressive | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
with or without the ball and the first half we were a bit | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
slow in everything and that is why we conceded against good teams | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
in Europe because they are so complicated. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
So this is the last eight in the Champions League. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
I'm sure Leicester's fans will actually be hoping to face | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
The draw will be made at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
There is likely to be a surpirse call-up for | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
youngster Marcus Rashford, when Gareth Southgate | :09:20. | :09:20. | |
announces his latest England squad later. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
The 19-year-old was set for a place in the under 21s but with injuries | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
to Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney he'll now be with the senior squad | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
for the friendly against Germany and World Cup qualifier | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
The new Formula 1 season starts in a little over a week | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Organisers say rule changes mean the cars will be faster, | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
making racing more exciting and attractive to a new | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
Head of Red Bull Racing Christian Horner agrees. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
The cars are going to be about five seconds quicker. They are wider, | :09:47. | :09:55. | |
more aggressive, they will produce more downforce and they will test | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
the driver is a lot harder. We are already seeing that in testing the | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
drivers have had to step up a gear and that is a good thing to test | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
them. I think the racing will be close. Ferrari have come up with a | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
good car and Mercedes are the favourites, but hopefully we will | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
get in the mix as well. More sport later in the hour. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Richard says, I am 35 and have been on Roaccutane three times, although | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
the results were good, the acne returned worse when I stopped the | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
medication. My face was covered with large, unsightly and very sore | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
cysts. I buy an expensive cream from the States which clears my skin. | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Paula says, thank you so much for the piece covering acne. My daughter | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
watched it and was so relieved she was not the only one. She has been | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
having treatment since age eight. Finally, after being fobbed off and | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
been put on the pill aged 11 and we managed to get a private referral to | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
a dermatologist who is fantastic and he started her with Roaccutane and | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
her hair and skin are looking great. Jenny says, those are very brave | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
people. My twin suffered and tried everything under the sun and then we | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
tried a plant -based product which is really effective. There is more. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
We are talking about it because of a warning that there is a lack of | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
trained skin specialists in the UK. A lack of trained skin | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
specialists is having a huge That's the claim from | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
the British Association YouTuber Katie Snooks has | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
vlogged her battle with acne and has made this documentary for Radio 1 | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Newsbeat. I have suffered with acne for the | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
last decade and it has controlled every single aspect of my life, from | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
my social life, dating and also my self-confidence. I do not feel | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
beautiful at all. My confidence is really low today. I tried five | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
different antibiotics and I even tried light therapy and none of them | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
worked until recently I finally had success. I have spent the last eight | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
months of my journey taking a controversial drug commonly known as | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Roaccutane. The success rate is high, but it is hard to get. You | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
cannot get it from your GP and it took me a couple of years to get | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
referred to a dermatologist. I recently finished my treatment and I | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
just uploaded my last update on my YouTube channel and the | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
transformation in my skin has just been amazing. Today I am going to | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
meet Sarah who got in touch with us about her acne. She has suffered | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
from it for a long time. I will also be meeting George. You sometimes | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
wear make-up to cover your acne, tell us about that. The stage I was | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
everybody could see why I was doing this because I was at such a bad | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
point. It made you feel better about yourself? It did, when I looked at | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
myself in the mirror I did not look atrocious, I looked normal. Do you | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
have any pictures? Could we have a look? George is 15 and it takes guts | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
to show me these pictures. He is now on Roaccutane, but showing the | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
camera photos of when he was not is a step too far. It looks really | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
painful because it is not only one area, it is your entire face. It was | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
quite bad. It was on my back and my neck and I was struggling. I had to | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
do with my face during the day and my back at night. I am sorry to say | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
this, but it almost makes you look like a different person because the | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
cysts are so big, they kind of distort your face. Yes. Thank you so | :14:07. | :14:16. | |
much for showing me these pictures and thank you for talking to me | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
today. If showing the world his acne is too much for George, his mum has | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
had decades to grow in confidence. Oh, my gosh. Literally every time I | :14:27. | :14:44. | |
had Latin America it had changed. It was getting worse and worse. | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
You can see the full film on the Newsbeat site. Katie put that | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
together with the help of radio one Newsbeat. We will talk to Katie and | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
Sarah. Also with us is, Dr Ayesha Sharif, is a GP us is, | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
who has treated patients with acne. Dr Bav Shergill from the British | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
Association of Dermatologists. Deborah Wyatt from the Talk Health | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
Hub, which is a service offering support to young people who have | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Acne. welcome all of you. You have had it | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
for ten years, Katie. Just describe the impact of your life. I feel like | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
when I was most, when I should have been most confident growing up as a | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
young woman and having fun, I felt constantly crippled by my skin and | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
how I looked at what people thought of me and whether they judged me. | :15:34. | :15:44. | |
Did people judge you, do you know? I have had comments in the past, | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
especially putting myself out there online with my skin and being very | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
honest and open with it, I have had comments saying you touch your skin | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
too much, you don't watch too much, you should try cutting out food and | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
dairy and sugar, and I have tried everything under the sun. It is | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
really annoying when people say, have you tried this, and you have | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
been through the lot. In terms of Roaccutane, it works really well for | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
some people, clearly not everyone. Sometimes when you finish the course | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
of drugs, the acne can come back. What would you say? I have been off | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
it now for a month and a half, and I am not going to lie, I am petrified | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
of my spots coming back. I feel my face every day and I am like that be | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
a new blemish? Once you have had acne and suffered with it, it is a | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
constant fear of what is it going to come back? So far, so good, and I | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
feel very lucky to have found something that worked. We will talk | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
about the potential side-effects. We saw you and your son, George, in the | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
film. George is on Roaccutane, how is that helping him? It is | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
absolutely amazing. He was in a bad way and went downhill very quickly. | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
But it has turned them around quickly. He has a little bit of | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
scarring, that he is back to normal. Like Katie said, his face was | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
distorted, it was awful for him. How did that affect trying to go about | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
his daily life as 80 page? He did very welcome he is a very resilient | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
boy but there were bad days. He had some big lumps on the side of his | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
nose, and when they first appeared, he begged to go to the doctors and | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
he begged not to go to school and I thought fine, we will have a day off | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
school. It was horrible for him to face people. But we went to the | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
doctors, they could not deal with it immediately but he got his referral | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
to the dermatologist and the next day picked himself back up and took | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
himself to school. Dr showed all, what is acne? It is an inflammatory | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
process clustered around the squeeze glands that help the most rise our | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
hair. I had it really badly from the age of 15. Back, face, it was a | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
pretty tough time, actually. I went through a similar journey that Katie | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
went through, antibiotics for quite a few years. It was only going to | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
medical school that I will as there were other treatments available, and | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
I managed to get a local sympathetic general practitioner involved, who | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
referred me in. It was a little bit between it being treated by the | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
person training you but got me release in the dermatology. Did you | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
get that referral early on? I struggled, there is a general | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
cultural thing for guys especially to not make a fuss, it is a bit | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
unmanly to not be concerned about your appearance. Sometimes the acne | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
were so bad that I would not want to go swimming or join the other | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
activities at school because I felt so subconscious about it. It was | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
only once I was aware of it that you could do something about it. Why is | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
it so hard to get help? A couple of things, first to admit that they | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
have a problem they need help with. Getting people to actually say this | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
is not right, this is not normal, I know teenagers get spots, 85% to | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
some degree, all of them need to see a doctor about it, they managed to | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
self treat quite effectively with scrubs and cleansers, but those who | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
do need help come when you are scarring, when it is painful, when | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
it is causing you to change how you do things, that is when you need to | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
access health care. If you need to have further intervention then you | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
can be referred to a dermatologist. If there is one available. There is | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
a shortage. Guess. Workforce planning has not been properly | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
implemented to take to take care of it. We are 25% short of | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
dermatologist in this country. It is an immense pressure. As a GP, do you | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
think GPs take this seriously if they teenager comes the UN says I to | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
take some help with this? If it is important to a person then it is | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
important to me. They doesn't matter if someone tells you this is really | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
mild, you will grow out of it, I think we all have responsibility | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
treat acne, and to treat the consequences of having bad acne. I | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
see a lot of young people with mental health problems and it is | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
very important we address that at the same time. Did you get help, | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
Katie, from your GP soon enough? This is not a GP bashing exercise, I | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
am just trying to find out. So I went to my GP countless times, and | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
all they offered were antibiotics. I was like, I have tried so many now, | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
when will this end, where will I get to a stage where you can refer me to | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
a dermatologist and a specialist? It took a really long time, it took | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
nine years almost. I accept that, some doctors may not give it as much | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
importance, and I even see that in my own practice sometimes. What I | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
say to young people is knock on the door until you are happy, just keep | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
looking. Nine years, she was knocking on the door! If anyone says | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
to me I feel this unhappy, I don't hesitate and I think many of my | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
colleagues wouldn't. But I take your point. What are the potential | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
side-effects of Roaccutane? Everyone gets tri- lips and dry skin, some | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
people get dry eyes too. There are rare side-effects that you need to | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
be aware of, particularly for females. If you get pregnant while | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
you are on the medication you would have a malformed foetus, and that | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
you would have to have a termination. It is very strict | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
guidance while you are on the medication. Muscle aches and pains | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
that can happen, headaches as well, sometimes very severe. You need to | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
dial back on the medication and involve your specialist. Liver | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
dysfunction problems, if you are an alcohol user, so you have to to the | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
careful about that. It can raise your cholesterol. There are quite a | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
few on the packet. Georgia e-mails, I have never been on Roaccutane but | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
I had been on a string of creams from the dermatologist, such as this | :22:28. | :22:36. | |
one. As an infant to Mike Kane up with hard, lump like spots as well | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
as with traditional acne. Everyone in your report is so brave to talk | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
about their own acne and how it affects them. Stephanie says my son | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
took Roaccutane which successfully jawed his acne but this was not | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
offered by his GP, who only suggested off-the-shelf skin | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
treatments, which did no good at all. We had to see a private | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
apologist consultant before the Roaccutane was prescribed, which | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
cleared it up successfully within a few weeks, and he is still acne free | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
now. Deborah, what support do you offer young people? We have a lot of | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
information on acne on the talk health site, and it is the second | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
most popular area of the website. What we have identified is there is | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
a bit of a gap in terms of offering dedicated support to teenagers. When | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
you say support, what do you mean, something to talk to? To provide | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
them with education, and to encourage them to talk to others and | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
their GP. If you are going to talk to teenagers you have to understand | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
how they want to be talked to. We are doing a large piece of research | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
at the moment, talking to large cohorts of teenagers, teachers, | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
parents, health care professionals, to try to get a 360 tail preview of | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
how it affects their lives and what they want and need. Then we are | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
going to build a campaign hub, a website specifically for teenagers | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
to access that posted them in their language. That is what is missing | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
for teenagers, in terms of support and information. Or they could just | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
watch Katie's film. They could. Deborah, you think it needs more | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
help for teenage girls, why is that? The social media culture of girls, | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
there is a lot of selfie culture and everyone has got to look beautiful | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
and they have got to look like their favourites liberty and so on. A lot | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
of peer pressure as well. Girls in particular have this vision that | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
they have to be beautiful 100% of the time. They get one spot of them | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
has fallen apart. Do you think that is right, Katie? I do, and being | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
seen as a person who can be seen as influential on social media, I want | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
to show girls that life is not perfect, you get spots, you get | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
eczema. I am very pro-honesty and showing people that, and young girls | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
that life is not always perfect, and everyone has imperfections and there | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
are things you can do to help your imperfections if you need it. And | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
your decision to record yourself with no make up, without any | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
concealer, to record the ups and downs as you try to get this sorted, | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
what led you to do this? To be honest, when I was filming those | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
clips, it was me in my bedroom, I didn't think that anyone else would | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
see it. I thought I would put it on YouTube it would get a couple of use | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
and that was it, but it kind of blew up, and that made me realise how | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
heartbreaking it is that so many people relate to it. It literally | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
makes me feel so sad that so many people are going through it, and are | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
having similar experiences to me. OK, well Duncan Kerr thank you very | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
much, thanks all of you. Sarah, many thanks as well and the George. -- | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
well done. Health Education England, | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
the body responsible for training Dermatologists in England, | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
say they're aware of shortages but the number | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
of consultants is growing. In Scotland, officials say | :26:14. | :26:14. | |
they've seen an increase Most posts are filled | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
in Northern Ireland and the Welsh government says they're working | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
to improve services. The Conservative Party has been | :26:21. | :26:33. | |
fined ?70,000 for breaching The Electoral Commission said | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
the party had made numerous failures in reporting its expenses | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
for the 2015 General Election Let's get more on this from our | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
Political Guru, Norman Smith. An investigation started by Channel | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
4 News, why have the Confederate -- the Conservative Party been fined? | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
For abusing election spending rules. To cut to the chase, this report | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
leaves two key questions hanging in the wind. One is did the | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
Conservative Party get an advantage at the next election by spending | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
more than they should have in key marginal seats? Questioned even, did | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
they do so deliberately, did they know exactly what they were doing, | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
did they know they were trying to buy an advantage? We don't know the | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
answer to those key questions, that has been passed over to the police | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
to investigate. What we do now is the gravity, the severity of the | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
abuse of the spending rules, because the Electoral Commission have | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
delivered this whopping ?70,000 fined, the maximum they could | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
deliver, the biggest ever delivered, for, we learned there are something | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
like ?104,000 that the Conservative Party didn't report at all, there is | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
about ?118,000 that was misreported, more than ?50,000 for which there | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
was no receipt. There is also anger at the way the Conservative Party | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
responded to the investigation. Just look at this from the commission's | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
report. They accused the Conservative Party of unreasonable, | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
uncooperative conduct. Now, we discovered that actually the | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
commission had to go to the courts to get the Conservative Party to | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
hand over the key documents, because the commission was asking them, | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
look, we need to see your files, and they were not getting any reply. | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
Eventually, in desperation, the commission went to the courts and | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
got them a court order to force them to hand it over. You get a sense | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
that from the commission's point of view, they feel they almost need | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
more power to inflict even greater finds, because if you listen to | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
Claire Bassett, -- greater fines, the Chief Executive, she is in no | :28:42. | :28:45. | |
doubt as to the severity of these offences. They are some of the | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
worst, in the fact that they were unable to provide evidence will be | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
needed it, and the reports were inaccurate and the spending returns | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
did not contain things they should have done. That systemic failure led | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
to a number of things that were wrong within those, and that is the | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
greatest extent we have seen that. It is also differentiated in the | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
difficulty we have had in conducting the investigation, as well. So what | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
happened with this abuse of the spending rules? It seems that the | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
Conservatives in key marginal constituencies often deployed their | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
battlebus, packed with around 50 activists, to go and campaign in | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
local constituencies to help the local candidate, but they never | :29:25. | :29:28. | |
declared the amount those volunteers cost in their local spending limits. | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
In other words, they were able to get round the rules, and the | :29:32. | :29:37. | |
Electoral Commission raised the question in the report, and let's | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
just have a look at it. They say there was a realistic prospect that | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
Conservative candidates gained a financial advantage, in other words | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
by being able to deploy all these volunteers, sometimes in key | :29:53. | :29:54. | |
constituencies like South Thanet, which Nigel Farage was contesting, | :29:55. | :30:03. | |
they also deployed press officers and campaign coordinators, and | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
political advisers from the party nationally also which was not | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
declared on the local spending limits. The Conservative Party say | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
this was an administrative error, they have tightened up their | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
procedures, it has never happened before, and this morning the former | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
Cabinet Minister Oliver Letwin, speaking on the radio, sought to | :30:22. | :30:23. | |
play down these offences. What we have seen is people making a | :30:24. | :30:46. | |
series of errors and it should be corrected and the system should not | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
enable those errors to be made, but it does not mean there is a vast, | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
criminal conspiracy going on. You can get a sense of how seriously the | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
Electoral Commission take this because they say they needed to be | :31:00. | :31:06. | |
able to levy even bigger fines will stop political parties are almost | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
gaming the system, they are prepared to take a hit, a big fine from the | :31:11. | :31:14. | |
Electoral Commission, because as long as they can gain an advantage | :31:15. | :31:20. | |
in key seats it does not matter. In other words, bluntly, it is a price | :31:21. | :31:22. | |
worth paying. Still to come: A big boost for the | :31:23. | :31:37. | |

Eddie Jones has made two changes to his side as he prepares to go for a | :33:27. | :33:46. | |
grand slam at the weekend. Billy Vunipola will return and Anthony | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
Johnson return. Pep Guardiola refused | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
to blame his goalkeeper or his defence for their last 16 | :33:53. | :33:54. | |
exit in the Champions League. That's despite conceding | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
6 goals in the two legs against Monaco - | :34:00. | :34:01. | |
they went out on the away goals. It's the first time Guardiola has | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
failed to take a side to at least Gareth Southgate names his | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
England squad today. Manchester United striker | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
Marcus Rashford is likely to be included because of injuries | :34:11. | :34:12. | |
to Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney. Former World Number One Rory McIlroy | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
has continued criticism of Muirfield despite their U-turn | :34:16. | :34:17. | |
on female members. He's called the previous | :34:18. | :34:19. | |
ban "obscene". I will be back with more at 11 | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
o'clock. New rules on claiming disability | :34:25. | :34:31. | |
benefits come into effect today. This involves Personal | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
Independence Payments or PIPs. It means that people whose mobility | :34:35. | :34:35. | |
is limited because of mental health conditions will not be entitled | :34:36. | :34:38. | |
to receive the mobility component of PIP even if they are limited | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
in getting around in the same way as someone with a | :34:42. | :34:44. | |
physical disability. Labour estimates 160,000 | :34:45. | :34:48. | |
people will lose out Labour MP Debbie Abrahams, | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
who is the Shadow Secretary of State Sophie Corlett from the mental | :34:52. | :35:01. | |
health charity MIND. And Alice Kirby who says she will be | :35:02. | :35:05. | |
affected by changes to PIP We also had asked Conservative MP | :35:06. | :35:17. | |
Richard Graham to come on the programme. He had agreed, but in the | :35:18. | :35:22. | |
last half hour has pulled out because, he says, he has other | :35:23. | :35:27. | |
engagements. We also asked for an interview with the Work and Pensions | :35:28. | :35:34. | |
Secretary. The disabilities minister, that Employment Minister, | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
the Minister for welfare reform, and none were available. What do you | :35:39. | :35:45. | |
think about the new rules? It is really telling that none of these | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
Tory MPs or ministers are coming on. It is completely unjustified and | :35:51. | :35:53. | |
that is why they will not be coming on today because they cannot explain | :35:54. | :35:59. | |
the justification. Why do you say they are completely unjustified? For | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
a start the Tories keep saying, do not worry, it will only affect new | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
claimants. It is completely false, it will affect current claimants and | :36:10. | :36:14. | |
they are hiding that. I am not sure that is right. It will not affect | :36:15. | :36:20. | |
people who are currently claiming. What they have said is it will only | :36:21. | :36:26. | |
affect new claimants, but they have made changes to the legislation | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
which means everyone currently on PIP will be reassessed, and we are | :36:31. | :36:35. | |
all reassessed whether it is every year or every few years. We will all | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
be reassessed under this new criteria. I get points for not being | :36:41. | :36:46. | |
able to manage my medication and for having psychological stress when | :36:47. | :36:51. | |
travelling. When I am reassessed I will come under this new criteria | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
and therefore as a result I have worked out I will be ?87 a month cut | :36:57. | :37:03. | |
from my mobility because of this. I understand, you say you believe when | :37:04. | :37:07. | |
you are assessed again that things will change for you even though you | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
are a current claimant. Yes, it happens regularly. I believe that is | :37:13. | :37:19. | |
the case. It is not them saying we will have two pieces of legislation. | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
They have got one piece of legislation and that is why I am | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
sure it will affect everyone claiming. That is fair enough. The | :37:27. | :37:33. | |
DWP say the changes will not affect existing claimants, but we hear what | :37:34. | :37:37. | |
you are saying. It will not immediately, but it will when they | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
get reassessed. What do you think about these changes? They are | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
completely unjustified. I agree with Alice. The whole point of PIP is it | :37:47. | :37:53. | |
should be there to support the extra costs of your disability. It is not | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
about whether you are in or out of work, it is about having difficulty | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
with other things, and it should cover the extra costs of those | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
things that you need to have a normal life. It should not depend on | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
whether your extra costs arise from having psychological stress or being | :38:11. | :38:16. | |
blind or having a physical disability, if the costs are the | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
same, the point of PIP is the funding should be the same. They | :38:21. | :38:26. | |
have gone as specifically to rue out psychological stress as a reason for | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
these particular things. It is baffling. Are people who find it | :38:30. | :38:35. | |
difficult to leave the House because of anxiety as restricted in their | :38:36. | :38:39. | |
independence as someone with a physical disability? Absolutely, | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
your condition might vary as it does for physical conditions, so there | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
may be days when you are better able or less able. If you cannot leave | :38:50. | :38:55. | |
the House because of hypervigilance, because of panic attacks, because of | :38:56. | :39:02. | |
severe agoraphobia, we are talking about significant psychological | :39:03. | :39:04. | |
stress that would prevent you from leaving the House without support of | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
some sort, you are as stuck in your house as anyone else. How do these | :39:09. | :39:15. | |
changes fit with that big speech on mental health that Theresa May made | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
in January where she said, quote, for too long mental illness has been | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
a hidden injustice in our country, shrouded in an unacceptable stigma | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
and dangerously disregarded as a secondary issue to physical health. | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
This is absolutely one of those issues. The new regulations | :39:34. | :39:44. | |
specifically exclude psychological stress. They do not say if you are | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
not able to leave the House, it does not matter. They say, if you are not | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
able to leave the House and psychological stress is the reason, | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
then you do not qualify. They acknowledged people cannot leave the | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
House. Sophie, your boss is Paul Farmer, he is doing work for Theresa | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
May on mental health in the workplace. Is he considering | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
stepping down from that role in protest? We are considering | :40:12. | :40:18. | |
everything. He is considering stepping down from working with the | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
Prime Minister? We are considering everything. Our main concern is not | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
to grandstand and step down, our main concern is to make a difference | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
and at the moment we want to change PIP. We do not want to stop talking | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
to people and flounce off, we are keen to make sure there are changes. | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
He is working on a review on something different that is just as | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
important, so we do not want that work not to happen. But we also want | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
to make a difference here and we are also working with the government on | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
things around health. We are talking about a lot of different things. | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
There is so much that needs doing on mental health. In terms of making a | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
difference, on behalf of Labour, you have completely failed to make a | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
difference on this issue. We are increasing momentum. The changes | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
have been brought in today, you failed to stop them or amend them. | :41:16. | :41:20. | |
They were introduced two weeks ago and they were introduced during a | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
by-election. It took a week for the Chancellor to change his mind on | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
national insurance contributions. This is two weeks. That is why we | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
are on the programme today to get as much media attention around this | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
issue. Most people will be horrified that 23 charities, including Mind | :41:40. | :41:48. | |
are not engaged and the government's advisory committee has born at what | :41:49. | :41:51. | |
Alice has said, that this will affect those who are currently | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
receiving PIP. The way it has been sneaked through has prevented any | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
debate. The Secretary of State refused yesterday when I brought up | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
the second urgent question in the Commons, has refused to have a vote. | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
Most people will be horrified about what is going on. The government | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
says the change will not affect existing claims. The Social Security | :42:15. | :42:20. | |
advisory committee, which they bypassed, said that is not true. I | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
have the letter they sent to Penny Morduant, the Minister for Disabled | :42:28. | :42:30. | |
People. It says they should think again and they should have a greater | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
consultation with charities and disabled people's organisations. | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
This is seven years work at around Social Security are being | :42:42. | :42:43. | |
particularly borne out for people with disabilities. They say they are | :42:44. | :42:50. | |
not cuts. It is not Labour's analysis, the government's equality | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
analysis says 164,000 people with mental health conditions will be | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
affected and ?3.7 billion will be cut. That is the government's own | :43:02. | :43:06. | |
assessment. The government says it will not be cut, it will not be | :43:07. | :43:10. | |
spent. Where would Labour get that money from? Is it acceptable we are | :43:11. | :43:18. | |
cutting corporation tax to 17%? It is already the lowest of the G7. | :43:19. | :43:24. | |
That is ?64 billion worth of cuts. Governing is about choices and these | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
choices would not be the ones we would be making. Recent legal | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
judgments have interpreted the assessment criteria for Pete PIP in | :43:35. | :43:40. | |
ways that are different to what was intended. These amendments will | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
ensure that PIP supports those who face the greatest costs associated | :43:45. | :43:47. | |
with their disability. That is not true. When it came in in 2012 we | :43:48. | :43:53. | |
question the government about people's psychological stress. We | :43:54. | :43:58. | |
were concerned that people with mental health problems might end up | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
being treated differently. They reassured us at that point that that | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
was not the case and people with mental health problems would be | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
treated equally. In 2016 it came before the court and the government | :44:11. | :44:16. | |
lawyers said, no, it is fine. People with mental health problems are | :44:17. | :44:20. | |
treated the same with PIP. Now this week they say both of those | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
statements over all that time were in error and a mistake. People like | :44:25. | :44:31. | |
this are twice as likely to live in poverty. Poverty for disabled people | :44:32. | :44:39. | |
is increasing. It is shocking that this is the levels this government | :44:40. | :44:45. | |
is stooping to. Final thought. They are saying this is not a cut, this | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
is a cut. I get points because I meet those criteria and without them | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
I will get less points and I will get cut. It will not affect us | :44:55. | :45:00. | |
immediately, so the rhetoric this is not a cut is rubbish. We were leave | :45:01. | :45:07. | |
it there. Thank you very much. We would have liked to have spoken to a | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
government representative or even a Conservative MP, but sadly it was | :45:13. | :45:13. | |
not to be. The latest effort by President Trump | :45:14. | :45:16. | |
to bring in a travel ban on people coming from six mainly-Muslim | :45:17. | :45:19. | |
countries has been blocked. A federal judge in Hawaii said it | :45:20. | :45:21. | |
would discriminate against Muslims. The President found out | :45:22. | :45:24. | |
at a rally in Nashville, A judge has just blocked our | :45:25. | :45:26. | |
executive order on travel and refugees coming into our country | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
from certain countries. The order he blocked | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
was a watered-down version of the first order, that was also | :45:37. | :45:48. | |
blocked by another judge and should have never been | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
blocked to start with. This new order was tailored to | :45:54. | :46:03. | |
the dictates of the 9th Circuit's, This is, in the opinion | :46:04. | :46:10. | |
of many, an unprecedented, I've been speaking to | :46:11. | :46:26. | |
Professor Avi Soifer who is the Dean of University of Hawaii Law School | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
and Democrat Representative I began by asking Professor Soifer | :46:33. | :46:34. | |
what grounds the judge had to block was to have a temporary restraining | :46:35. | :46:41. | |
order to kind of keep things where they are until further | :46:42. | :46:55. | |
hearings are held. And the standards he looked | :46:56. | :46:57. | |
at are whether they were likely to succeed and whether there | :46:58. | :47:00. | |
was irreparable injury, and finally a balance of the public | :47:01. | :47:02. | |
interest and the equities And this judge decided it | :47:03. | :47:05. | |
would be unconstitutional for the administration to do | :47:06. | :47:07. | |
what it was trying to do, And in particular | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
the establishment... Sorry, just explain that | :47:11. | :47:16. | |
for our British audience. Right, the non-establishment | :47:17. | :47:18. | |
of religion. The 1st Amendment both guarantees | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
the free exercise of religion and also says the state, | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
the government, may not One of the tests that is applied | :47:28. | :47:29. | |
to the latter category is whether there is a secular | :47:30. | :47:36. | |
purpose or a religious purpose. And the judge found there | :47:37. | :47:39. | |
was a religious bias, religious discrimination | :47:40. | :47:41. | |
in the administration's position. That that had been true | :47:42. | :47:49. | |
during the campaign, it was true of the president himself | :47:50. | :47:50. | |
and of his agents. So it was really on that basis | :47:51. | :47:53. | |
that he enjoined, across the nation, So the judge found | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
it was discriminatory And one of the arguments | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
that the government made, that the President's Justice | :48:01. | :48:13. | |
Department made was, look, we are not discriminating | :48:14. | :48:15. | |
against lots of Muslims, And the judge, as another judge had | :48:16. | :48:18. | |
done individually new case, said just because you are not | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
discriminating against everybody, it doesn't mean you are not | :48:23. | :48:24. | |
discriminating against Muslims Each of which has over | :48:25. | :48:26. | |
a 90% Muslim population. And how was this judge able to make | :48:27. | :48:32. | |
this affect the whole Well, it is one of the peculiarities | :48:33. | :48:35. | |
of our federal system that actually In fact, in the waning years | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
of the Obama administration, there were a number of federal | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
judges in Texas who kept stopping One was about overtime pay, | :48:44. | :48:46. | |
one was about transgender bathrooms and also, he did it in terms | :48:47. | :48:53. | |
of the dreamers, those who are children brought | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
to the United States undocumented and Obama was trying | :49:00. | :49:01. | |
to protect them. This Texas federal judge said no, | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
the Obama administration could not Let me bring in a democratic | :49:06. | :49:08. | |
representative, Joy Buenaventura, What do you think of what this | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
judge in Hawaii has done? He has done what we hoped | :49:13. | :49:24. | |
he could have done. You know, Hawaii, not | :49:25. | :49:26. | |
only in the legal sense, we believe we were right | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
when we filed the petition for a restraining order, | :49:30. | :49:31. | |
but it goes against Hawaii's characteristic of | :49:32. | :49:33. | |
being an Aloa state. characteristic of | :49:34. | :49:44. | |
being an Aloha state. There is no one race | :49:45. | :49:45. | |
here that is over 50%. So we were able to show, | :49:46. | :49:54. | |
as the law professor has probably stated, | :49:55. | :49:57. | |
irreparable harm in the separation of families, irreparable harm | :49:58. | :49:58. | |
in tourism and that this caused a chilling effect on our tourist | :49:59. | :50:01. | |
industry when it first was imposed Of course, if this ban succeeds | :50:02. | :50:04. | |
again, it would have been irreparable harm in our tourist | :50:05. | :50:16. | |
industry, which is the Might I add to that, | :50:17. | :50:18. | |
the first thing the judge talked about was the harm to my university, | :50:19. | :50:28. | |
to the University of Hawaii, because we have many international | :50:29. | :50:31. | |
students and faculty and this is the same kind of argument | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
that was made in the first executive order, where the state | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
of Washington said the University So our judge actually followed | :50:41. | :50:43. | |
the ninth circuit precedent when the Court of Appeals there | :50:44. | :50:51. | |
upheld their what the Washington Thank you for your time, | :50:52. | :50:53. | |
we really appreciate you talking In a big boost for the British | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
car-industry, Toyota is to invest almost a quarter of a billion pounds | :50:59. | :51:04. | |
in its UK operations. I am going to tell you this first of | :51:05. | :51:13. | |
all, this is breaking, Queen Elizabeth has even formal approval | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
to the Brexit legislation which gives the Prime Minister the power | :51:18. | :51:24. | |
to begin EU exit talks, the Queen has given formal approval to the | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
Brexit legislation, giving the Prime Minister the power to begin the EU | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
exit talks. Much more on newsroom lie that 11 o'clock. As I was | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
saying, in a big boost for the British | :51:38. | :51:39. | |
car-industry, Toyota is to invest almost a quarter of a billion pounds | :51:40. | :51:42. | |
in its UK operations. The company says it will upgrade | :51:43. | :51:45. | |
the Burnaston plant near Derby, to enable production of vehicles | :51:46. | :51:48. | |
using it's new global Toyota has been making cars | :51:49. | :51:50. | |
in the UK since 1992. With me is Peter Campbell, | :51:51. | :51:53. | |
who is the motor industry correspondent for the Financial | :51:54. | :51:56. | |
Times, and in our Westminster studio is Caroline Wheeler, Conservative MP | :51:57. | :51:58. | |
for South Derbyshire, Heather Wheeler, your reaction? | :51:59. | :52:10. | |
Tremendous news. It is a real Philip on such a significant day as well, | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
I'm sure that wasn't the plan but it is great news. It is a brilliant, it | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
means so much to the employees at the supply chain that we have indaba | :52:20. | :52:25. | |
shed across the Midlands. Fantastic news. How have the government | :52:26. | :52:29. | |
managed to help this deal along, this investment along, considering | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
at some point soon we will be outside the European Union? Well, | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
there is a small amount, in the scheme of things, of government | :52:39. | :52:45. | |
money helping. The reason why that is there is because it will embed | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
research and develop and actually in the plant in Derbyshire. That is | :52:49. | :52:51. | |
fantastic for global Britain for the future. Peter, how do you read this | :52:52. | :52:59. | |
massive investment? A huge boost not just for Toyota but the whole of the | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
UK car industry. After the Brexit vote, there were worries among the | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
UK's car plants, they are very dependent on exports to the EU, and | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
dependent on Europe for a lot of their components they bring in. If | :53:13. | :53:16. | |
Britain had a hard exit and face the tariffs after leaving, a lot of | :53:17. | :53:19. | |
those projects and plants would become far less competitive. Every | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
time a car maker produces a new model, its plants around the world | :53:24. | :53:26. | |
compete for that mark. Britain after that point has won a lot of that | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
work because our plants are some of the best of world. That would really | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
hamstring them facing tariffs if they were exporting to the EU. | :53:34. | :53:38. | |
Workers will be very reassured by this morning's announcement. OK, so | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
what does this announcement is about the kind of Brexit the primaries to | :53:45. | :53:51. | |
is going to go for? We already know the Prime Minister has promised she | :53:52. | :53:54. | |
will try to get some sort of deal for the automotive sector, some | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
carveout, so that we can sell our cars to Europe and a lot of the | :53:59. | :54:01. | |
European car companies can sell archives to Britain. We are one of | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
the biggest buyers of German cars in this country, and a blot of the | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
German car Company 's will not want to pay tariffs to sell into the UK. | :54:10. | :54:12. | |
That is what most of the car companies would want. That is the | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
reason lots of them are here in the first place, the reason that Toyota | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
Nissan Ashun Toyota, Nissan, Honda, set up in the UK, was in order to | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
build plants they can use to export to the EU. Not British car plants | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
but European car plants that happen to be based in the UK. What does it | :54:30. | :54:35. | |
mean for the workers in your constituency? It is a reassuring | :54:36. | :54:42. | |
boost. Fortunately the workers are very level-headed. One of the | :54:43. | :54:45. | |
reasons Toyota came to Derbyshire, because we have such a fantastic, go | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
for it workforce, clearly my postbag has been interesting of the last few | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
months but I have always been able to assure them that global Britain | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
means big companies like this will want to invest a because we have a | :54:58. | :55:06. | |
fantastic workforce. Is Heather Wheeler right? She is, we have some | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
of the most productive car plants in the world but there were worries | :55:11. | :55:12. | |
that might not be enough to overcome the challenges are particularly a | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
hard Brexit. The UK supply chain is so integrated with Europe that many | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
of the parts that end up in our cars here have crossed the Channel three, | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
four, even five times before they get assembled into the final | :55:25. | :55:30. | |
vehicle. Really? Yes, I'm tangling that mess involves rebuilding the | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
whole supply chain from scratch. Many car companies have been trying | :55:35. | :55:37. | |
to bring more component companies into the UK so they can produce more | :55:38. | :55:43. | |
in the UK, they can buy more parts in pounds, which makes them less | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
exposed to European currencies, and also it helps them to have a more | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
lean supply chain. These car parts are very efficient, parts get put on | :55:53. | :55:57. | |
a car within an hour or two in the car drives off an hour later. Any | :55:58. | :56:01. | |
disruption to that supply chain, tariffs, then the customs checks, | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
will blow the whole of the plant's competitiveness out of the water. | :56:08. | :56:10. | |
What the car industry is terrified of as having the very efficiency of | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
the UK plants put in the hands of a clipboard wielding French customs | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
official. God forbid! The government have been open about the 21 million | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
they are putting towards this deal but not open about the Nissan deal, | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
why is that? I'm afraid you have to talk to the Secretary of State about | :56:29. | :56:31. | |
that. But the good news for Derbyshire is that we have great | :56:32. | :56:34. | |
supply chain as well and exactly as your other commentator was saying. | :56:35. | :56:41. | |
What we want to do is to grow the supply chain. This will help | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
enormously with that. Why don't we know about the Nissan deal? It was | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
the first bombing had after Brexit, and it was slightly different to the | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
day's investment. Nissan's investment was a pledge to build two | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
new vehicles at Sunderland. The government at the time did not want | :57:00. | :57:02. | |
to show its hand but wanted to give Nissan enough assurance that the | :57:03. | :57:08. | |
trading conditions would not change after Brexit. They have subsequently | :57:09. | :57:11. | |
said a lot of the assurances are also offered to other companies, | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
whether Toyota or Ellesmere Port. A lot of the money that has been | :57:17. | :57:19. | |
pledged is very similar to the support they said they could offer | :57:20. | :57:25. | |
Nissan, in terms of research development, and reskilling of the | :57:26. | :57:28. | |
workforce and bringing more supply chain companies to the UK. Thank | :57:29. | :57:34. | |
you, Peter. Heather Wheeler, thank you for your time, just to repeat | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
that news, not just the Toyota investment, ?240 million, but the | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
Queen has given formal approval to the Brexit legislation. So whenever | :57:43. | :57:47. | |
she wants actually, the Prime Minister can now trigger Article 50 | :57:48. | :57:52. | |
and begin EU exit talks. We are told to expect the last week of March, | :57:53. | :57:57. | |
but Mrs May can do it whenever she wants now. Thank you very much for | :57:58. | :58:01. | |
all of your messages about these subject of acne and the film we | :58:02. | :58:03. | |
brought you earlier from Radio 1 Newsbeat. So many of you well it to | :58:04. | :58:09. | |
it and are really appreciative of the light we have shone on it today. | :58:10. | :58:13. | |
Thank you for getting in touch. BBC Newsroom Live is next, much more | :58:14. | :58:21. | |
