The public at risk from poor policing in a third of forces | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The police watchdog says too few detectives means | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
victims are being let down and cases not investigated. | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
Some forces are beginning to take officers out of neighbourhood | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
policing to focus on other areas, and we're saying absolutely that | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
erosion of neighbourhood policing cannot be allowed to happen. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
We'll be looking at why police forces are cutting | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
the number of detectives, and how it's affecting crime rates. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Cuts to policing in some areas are putting the public at risk - | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
That's the warning from the police standards watchdog. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
It says there are now too few detectives, leaving a third | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
of police forces in England and Wales in a "potentially | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
perilous" state, with victims being let down, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
criminal cases not investigated and suspects not followed up. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports. | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
from Bedfordshire Police, raiding the home of a suspected drug dealer | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
this morning. On a day that inspectors graded the force as | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
inadequate, the worst place in England and Wales, a grading the | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Chief Constable blames on chronic underfunding. This grading is not | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
correct grading for Bedfordshire. If you are going to talk about | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
inadequate, talk about inadequate resources and funding, which has | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
been the case in this force for ten years now. Among the many failings, | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
the inspectors found that anti-social behaviour, like this | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
motorbike riding in a park in Dunstable, has soared, while Shannon | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
McMahon told me she was assaulted on Boxing Day and has had an inadequate | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
response. The police said they would send somebody out and nobody turned | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
up until three days later, then the guy and an leave and I haven't heard | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
back. While Bedfordshire Police was the only force branded adequate | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
national inadequate, inspectors said they were raising a large and red | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
flag that other forces, saying that they were arresting fewer people, | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
shelving crimes without investigating properly and failing | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
to track down suspects relentlessly. While two thirds of forces were | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
rated as good or outstanding, inspectors found that in some places | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
local policing is being eroded. There is a national crisis in a | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
severe shortage of detectives and a lack of grip in tracking down | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
suspects. With that erosion of local policing the greatest concern. Some | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
forces are starting to take officers out of neighbourhood policing to | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
focus on other areas, and we are saying that erosion of neighbourhood | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
policing cannot be allowed. Despite the years of austerity, the policing | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
minister insisted this wasn't about forces being under resourced. This | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
is clearly about how forces used resources, how they are able to | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
adapt, and we are seeing some of the really good police forces judged as | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
good or outstanding. Some of their per capita funding is lower than | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
those that are falling. Crime has been falling but police are | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
grappling with issues like cybercrime and a wave of historic | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
allegations of sexual offences. As other services like mental health | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
have shrunk through austerity, the police have become the service of | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
last resort. With money short, inspectors found some forces had | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
been quicker to adapt to the new environment. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
With me is our Home Editor, Mark Easton. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
What's at the heart of the problem here? | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
Theresa May once said the mission of the police was to cut crime, no more | :04:48. | :04:59. | |
or less, and if that's true, they've done pretty well. Budgets have been | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
cut around 20% by 2010 but since that time crime has fallen by a | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
third. But we expect the police to do rather more than that. Of the | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
priority and emergency calls they receive, less than a quarter are | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
directly crime related. Police work has shifted from arresting villains, | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
yes, they do that, but it is more about protecting victims. Other | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
agencies have seen their budgets cut. Once, detectives might have | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
turned up at the front door and arresting a husband who has hit his | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
wife, but now they are also thinking about safeguarding issues for the | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
woman and children. So domestic violence, cybercrime, fraud, child | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
sexual abuse, complex crimes that have become much bigger priorities, | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
and that is perhaps the real question you should ask, are the | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
police getting it right when it comes to 21st century priorities? | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
One of Donald Trump's closest advisors - | :05:55. | :05:55. | |
the attorney-general, Jeff Sessions - has been accused | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
of lying under oath to the Senate after he failed to disclose, | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
when asked, that he'd had two meetings with the Russian ambassador | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Senior Democrats are now demanding he resign and have called on the FBI | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Our North America Editor Jon Sopel reports. | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
The afterglow from President Trump's acclaimed joint address has now been | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
taken over by claims that the newly installed Attorney-General lied | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
hearings over his contacts with the Russians. | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
And that's brought calls for Jeff Sessions to resign and the | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate links between the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
administration and Vladimir Putin's government. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
The fact that the Attorney-General, the top cop in our | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
country, lied under oath, to the American people, | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
He has proved that he is unqualified and unfit to serve in | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
Republicans aren't going that far, but are | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
backing calls that he should probably withdraw or recuse himself | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
from any investigation into those links. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
Based on what we've read, and the information | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
is not complete, I think the Attorney-General should further | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
clarify and I do think he's going to need to recuse | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
What's emerged is that then Senator Sessions met the | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Russian Ambassador at the Republican convention in July. | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
He met him again in September, but at his confirmation | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
hearing this January, he denied any contact with the Russians. | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
communicated with the Russian government, in the course of this | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
Senator Frankin, I'm not aware of any of those activities. | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
I have been called a surrogate at a time or two | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
in that campaign and I didn't have any communications with the Russians | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Today, the Attorney-General denied any wrongdoing. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
I have not met with any Russians at any time to discuss any | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
political campaign and those remarks are unbelievable to me and | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
are false and I don't have anything else to say about that. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
We've now had the national security adviser | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
We've had the Attorney-General accused of perjuring himself because | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
of his contacts and the White House is absolutely insisten, there is | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
The head of British Cycling has apologised for "failings" | :08:26. | :08:40. | |
following accusations of bullying and sexism against | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
An investigation into the culture of British Cycling was launched last | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
Chairman Jonathan Browning said riders will now be better cared for. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
He added the organisation would also address concerns raised | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
He's been talking to our Sports Editor, Dan Roan. | :08:56. | :09:05. | |
Three years, the story was one of success, British Cycling defined by | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
medals and glory, but now there is an image crisis and a damaging tide | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
of allegations. All are being denied but today the man tasked with | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
salvaging the governing body's authority -- invitation said it was | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
time to say sorry. We have met with groups of riders and staff and made | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
it very clear that, where there has been failings, we apologise. We | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
recognise them, but we are doing something about them and moving | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
forward. Said there was a bullying culture in British Cycling? There | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
have been well reported instances where it was unacceptable. British | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
Cycling unveiling a 13 point action plan designed to overhaul governance | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
and athlete welfare. It stems to last year, when former sprint | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
cyclist Jess Varnish complaint about sexism and bullying amid a culture | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
of fear at the sport's high-class performance programme. A decade ago, | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
Jenny Coquelin or was national mounting boxing national mountain | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
biking champion. I had staff who said to me down the years, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
especially when I retired, that they supported and held that bad for my | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
situation. They haven't been able to do anything. -- they had felt bad | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
and were not able to say anything. They were worried about their jobs. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
The idea of job reservation is a joke among riders, in the way that | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
management behave and decisions were made. British Cycling's credibility | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
was damaged yesterday when MPs heard about a year to keep records of | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
medical treatment. The man at the centre of the storm, Sir Bradley | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Wiggins, today refusing to speak about the contents of a now infamous | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
medical packaged and delivered to him in 2011, and those who fund the | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
sport are unimpressed. Your best funded funding body is in crisis, | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
isn't it? There is a lot going on around British Cycling. A number of | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
fires seem to be going off, and it is difficult for them at this point. | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
I was shocked and disturbed by what I heard yesterday, especially around | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
the area of medical management and medical record-keeping. Dark days | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
for the sport and, with publication of what's known to be an explosive | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
report into cycling's culture in coming weeks, lifting the gloom | :11:38. | :11:38. | |
won't be easy. It has felt at times recently like | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
it's been knocked down here at the metals factory, as this place has | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
come to be known, and the organisation was warned it could be | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
jeopardising millions of pounds worth of public funding unless it | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
gets a grip and takes control of its issues. I think there is a lesson | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
for other sports, because British Cycling is symbolic, and there is a | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
growing sense that the win at all costs mentality has come perhaps at | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
the expense of standards of behaviour when it comes to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
anti-doping and attitudes towards athletes, and the challenge perhaps | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
for all sports now is that the welfare act as much of a priority as | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
winning. -- is to put the welfare act as much of a priority. Shares | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
have jumped 20%. They jumped 25% in the towel trading after raising $3.4 | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
billion, despite its 160 million users worldwide. It has never made a | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
profit. The Chief Inspector of Hospitals | :12:41. | :12:41. | |
in England has given a stark warning about the state of the NHS, | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
saying it's standing on a "burning platform", | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
with four out of five trusts needing Professor Sir Mike Richards says | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
the traditional model of caring for patients is no longer capable | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
of delivering the needs Our Health Editor, | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
Hugh Pym, has the story. Bring your baby across and let | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
you know about the checks A new birth today and | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
a new beginning for this Maternity and other services were | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
rated inadequate by the regulator, the Care Quality | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Commission, in 2015. The Trust, which includes | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Addenbrooke's, was put into special measures, | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
but now it's tackled the problems It was a very big shock | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
for our patients. The boss who helped steer | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
the hospital from the low point of special measures back to where it | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
should be, told me how The wider leadership teams invested | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
a huge amount of their time, you know in some cases well | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
over two days a week, in going out to frontline clinical | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
areas and talking to staff and listening to them and listening | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
to patients about what needed The Care Quality Commission makes | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
clear that while there are successful turnarounds | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
like at this hospital, there are others where there | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
is cause for concern and where care The CQC report said across major | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
hospital trusts in England, 68% were rated as inadequate | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
or needing improvement. 81% was said to need to improve | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
safety but 93% were praised But those ratings were done before | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
this winter's extreme pressure in hospitals and the CQC says | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
the whole system needs a complete Of course I have concerns | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
about what has been happening and I think we need to take a long | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
look at that to see what more can be done in terms of improving the acute | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
care model, from emergency admissions, through the hospital, | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
through to discharge. So we need to look across | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
the country at all of those things. But some hospitals are managing | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
it better than others. The system as a whole is under | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
strain but for some hospitals Those who having had a bad | :14:46. | :14:48. | |

that further council cuts in England next year will lead | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
to more rough sleepers. There are around 6,000 rough | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
sleepers in the UK - a figure that's risen every | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
year since 2010. But one rural county has chosen | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
to increase its funding Cornwall has one of the largest | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
populations of rough sleepers in the country | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
and it's doubled in a year. Our social affairs correspondent, | :15:58. | :15:59. | |

prematurely, Sarah Brown set up Now, 15 years later, she says | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
it is very uplifting to discover that the charity's research has | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
helped save the grandchild of Our Scotland correspondent, | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
Lorna Gordon, reports. Two-and-a-half-year-old Ella, | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
happy and a picture of health. But the little girl was born | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
12 weeks premature. At birth, she weighed 1lb 10oz | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
and was the size of an adult's hand. I wasn't sure she was | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
going to survive at all. My husband was more upbeat | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
than I was but, to me, But she's alive today, | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
as her mother says, at a laboratory set up in memory | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
of the daughter of They lost their daughter, Jennifer, | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
when she was just a few days old. What I really treasure is the ten, | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
very, very precious days that we had with our daughter because, | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
thanks to the care of the doctors, nurses, | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
midwives around us, we were able to have an extraordinary amount | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
of time, you know, really being able to be | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
with our daughter and all of that I have inside of me and all that | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
love you have for your daughter, She received 13,000 letters | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
after her daughter died, many from women who had suffered | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
a similar tragedy. Sarah and Gordon Brown went | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
on to have two sons. A rare glimpse here of the family | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
together as they left Number Ten. The memory of Jennifer | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
remains strong. Yeah, Jennifer's a really | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
important part of both of us and lives inside, | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
you know, both our I think for us as a family, | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
with our two amazing sons, Jennifer's a part of that family | :23:01. | :23:04. | |

from her consultant. They've told us not to darken | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
their door with a child So we are, literally, | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
the luckiest people in the world. It's thought that up | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
to a quarter of babies born in the UK need extra care, | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
the research that helped save Ella will continue to help | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
others survive and thrive, A series of lost love letters, | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
detailing the blossoming relationship between Jackie Kennedy | :23:38. | :23:49. | |
and a British aristocrat and Ambassador to the US, | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
are to be auctioned this month. The letters were written | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
after the assassination of JFK, but ended when Jackie Kennedy | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
married the Greek tycoon Bonham's auctioneer, | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Matthew Haley, took us through the letters | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
and the story behind them. What these letters show us | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
is the incredibly touching love story between David Ormsby Gore | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
and Jacqueline Kennedy and what comes through in these | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
letters is just the touching relationship that they had, that | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
very nearly blossomed into marriage. "Dearest David, you are like my | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
beloved, beloved brother and mentor As Her Majesty's ambassador | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
at Washington, he was an incredibly Kennedy, obviously was | :24:29. | :24:38. | |
assassinated in November 1963 and David Ormsby Gore in fact | :24:39. | :24:57. | |
lost his wife, so they were a widow and widower, really sort | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
of supporting each other. Ultimately they went | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
on holiday once or twice There is a draft letter | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
from David Ormsby Gore where he talked about plans | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
for a secret marriage and they were obviously | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
hatching these plans and discussing their potential | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
future together and then she went Here we are lucky enough | :25:19. | :25:20. | |
to have a draft really "Why do such agonising things have | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
to happen? I've tried for hours and hours | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
to understand your explanation, and I suppose I do in a way, | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
without agreeing with it. As for your photograph, | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
I weep when I look at it." I think the letters | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
are heartbreaking in a way. The most gut wrenching thing | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
is she writes back to him, painfully on Aristotle Onassis' | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
own stationery from his yacht, and says, "I'll always love | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
you and we'll always have "You and I have shared so many lives | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
and deaths and hopes and pains. We will share them forever | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
and be forever bound together by them and be, | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
I hope, as close as only people who have shared all that | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
can be to each other." The letters there to Jackie Kennedy. | :26:09. | :26:18. | |
Now a look at the weather with Jay Wynne. | :26:19. | :26:18. | |
The letters there to Jackie Kennedy. Now a look at | :26:19. | :26:19. | |
Wynne. It was a lovely day for many parts | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
of the UK. This was a picture taken by a Weather Watcher in Hampton | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
Court. It was like that for many but a few showers across the northern | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
half of the UK the last few hours is more cloudy. There has been some | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
rain in Northern Ireland. Not just rain, snow over the hills and we'll | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
see that mixture in the southern uplands of northern Scotland. | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
Northern Scotland where we see the lowest temperatures, a touch of | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
frost developing. Not so further south because we have cloud and rain | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
moving in. Not a great start of the day across southernmost counties, | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
South Wales will be wet and windy. Some rain could be on the heavy | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
side. Oven the roads, spray and surface water -- on the roads. Some | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
rain gets up into East Anglia and East Midlands. Into North Wales and | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
northern parts of England slightly dry. Fairly cloudy in the morning, | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
but still some rain into Northern Ireland and to the south of Scotland | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
but in northern Scotland after a chilly start we should see some | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
sunshine. I think we'll keep the best of the sunshine in northern | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
Scotland for much of the day. Elsewhere sunshine in short supply. | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
A lot of cloud. The main area of rain drifting northwards. The | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
south-east of England should dry up. . Keeping wet in the south-west in | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
the afternoon and further rain for Northern Ireland and largely dry in | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
southern Scotland by this stage. Into the weekend and keep the | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
umbrellas handy, there will be rain at times but the heaviest rain will | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
move its way around the country. Saturday, the heaviest rain looks | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
like it'll be across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Outbreaks of rain | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
for some parts of England and Wales but also some lengthy dry spells. | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
Then we swap things around for the second part of the weekend with the | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
wettest weather across Wales and the southern half the England. Further | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
north, much drier, rain at times. Top temperatures, seven in Glasgow, | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
ten or so in London. Thank you very much. | :28:03. | :28:08. |
