:00:20. > :00:21.If you can pay for yourself, well then you should pay
:00:22. > :00:25.for yourself before the Danish welfare system does it.
:00:26. > :00:27.But the measures have been described as 'mean-spirited' and 'a symbolic

:00:35. > :00:37.discrimination rather than promoting solidarity with people
:00:38. > :00:42.The measures have also been compared with the confiscation of Jewish

:02:02. > :02:05.measures to try to discourage refugees from entering the country.
:02:06. > :02:08.The Danish parliament voted today to confiscate asylum seekers' cash
:02:09. > :02:12.and valuables while their cases are being considered.
:02:13. > :02:14.It also decided to make asylum seekers wait three years before

:02:29. > :02:33.Today's decision in Denmark has been called many things by its detractors
:02:34. > :02:35.- contentious, controversial, amongst other
:02:36. > :02:42.The idea of confiscating valuables from refugees and others has drawn

:03:05. > :03:11.The confiscation of valuables won't include wedding rings or other

:03:16. > :03:18.also have to wait at least three years before applying for relatives
:03:19. > :03:24.A move clearly aimed at discouraging new arrivals.
:03:25. > :03:27.The EU has failed spectacularly to find an effective,
:03:28. > :03:32.immediate, comprehensive solution to the migrant crisis.
:03:33. > :03:37.With voter concerns so high, they know this is an issue that can
:03:38. > :03:40.bring down governments and so they have fallen over

:04:12. > :04:14.route from Greece and Italy, to richer countries further north
:04:15. > :04:22.Far from European Union, this is a clear
:04:23. > :04:24.illustration of how the migration crisis is leading to a sense
:04:25. > :04:30.There's talk of the imminent collapse of
:04:31. > :04:33.Schengen, Europe's treasured passport and border control free
:04:34. > :04:37.agreement, first signed 30 years ago.
:04:38. > :04:39.It's arguably the EU's biggest achievement,

:05:09. > :05:13.But Germany's Iron Lady is not for turning and
:05:14. > :05:17.remains defiantly, some say desperately, positive.
:05:18. > :05:21.TRANSLATION: We should not become pessimistic too quickly.
:05:22. > :05:27.Of course we must significantly reduce the number of refugees
:05:28. > :05:35.Debt-ridden Greece has proved a feeble gatekeeper to the EU
:05:36. > :05:39.and Turkey shows no sign yet of stopping boats filled with asylum
:05:40. > :05:46.And our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is here.
:05:47. > :05:58.Katya, this unilateral action by Denmark, how is that being seen in
:05:59. > :06:02.Brussels? Well, there is no unity at all. We are hearing from insiders
:06:03. > :06:06.that EU meetings on migration at the moment are the most fractious and
:06:07. > :06:11.divided that they have ever sat through. Some, including Austria and
:06:12. > :06:15.others, are speaking of wanting to isolate Greece, to grab control of
:06:16. > :06:19.its borders, replacing them with an EU border guard to prevent refugees
:06:20. > :06:23.and other migrants marching north across Europe. By now, most
:06:24. > :06:27.acknowledge to prevent more refugees wanting to come here, Europe needs
:06:28. > :06:30.to improve conditions in the Middle East. That is neither an easy nor a
:06:31. > :06:36.short-term solution. In the meantime, we have seen a dramatic
:06:37. > :06:40.European role reversal. Back in the summer, Hungary was ostracised by so
:06:41. > :06:45.many for building a fence to keep migrants out. Angela Merkel was
:06:46. > :06:49.feted for her generous open-door policy. Fast forward a few months,
:06:50. > :06:53.Hungary is feeling vindicated, while Angela Merkel is feeling the chill
:06:54. > :07:00.wind of increasing isolation abroad and at home. Katya, thank you very
:07:01. > :07:03.much. Laura, there is a different aspect of this as well. We have a
:07:04. > :07:08.warning from the Foreign Secretary that the migration crisis is clearly
:07:09. > :07:12.at the top of the agenda, British concerns about our membership terms
:07:13. > :07:16.are not at the top. What do we read into that? That is right. Listening
:07:17. > :07:20.to Katya, it is clear the UK can't be the number one priority, that is
:07:21. > :07:23.true. That doesn't mean that David Cameron is not going to get a deal
:07:24. > :07:28.that he wants to change our relationship with the EU because it
:07:29. > :07:32.is also true that nobody in the EU nor in the UK Government wants to
:07:33. > :07:37.talk about Britain's demands for a moment longer than is absolutely
:07:38. > :07:41.necessary. In a funny kind of way, that's the easier problem to fix.
:07:42. > :07:45.There is a temptation to get shot of it to get done so they can get on
:07:46. > :07:50.with the bigger things. Are we saying next month, when the summit
:07:51. > :07:55.happens, are we heading for some referendum date in the summer? It is
:07:56. > :07:58.not inevitable, but it is certainly not impossible. It is moving that
:07:59. > :08:03.way. Today, the Government published the ballot paper that we will all be
:08:04. > :08:07.presented with up-and-down the country. I'm told the Plan A for the
:08:08. > :08:11.Government, if it goes according to plan, is a date of June 23rd, for a
:08:12. > :08:17.possible referendum on whether we should stay or leave the European
:08:18. > :08:21.Union. And it is highly likely, not inevitable - we must be careful
:08:22. > :08:24.about this - that a deal can be sealed in the next three weeks
:08:25. > :08:28.before the crucial political summit in the middle of February in
:08:29. > :08:32.Brussels next month. The question isn't whether or not David Cameron
:08:33. > :08:35.can come back with a piece of paper, it is what is on that piece of paper
:08:36. > :08:39.and whether he believes he has a deal that he can sell that matches
:08:40. > :08:42.up to anything like the kind of promises that he's made of what can
:08:43. > :08:46.really be achieved. Laura, thank you. Laura Kuenssberg there.
:08:47. > :08:49.The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has apologised to the parents
:08:50. > :08:53.of a baby who died in 2014 saying they were "let down in the worst
:08:54. > :08:58.William Mead - a one-year-old boy from Cornwall - died of sepsis,
:08:59. > :09:03.Mr Hunt said that "serious failings" which led to William's death had
:09:04. > :09:05."significant implications" for the rest of the NHS,
:09:06. > :09:10.as our health editor, Hugh Pym, reports.
:09:11. > :09:14.He was a happy, healthy baby, but, despite repeatedly being seen
:09:15. > :09:18.by doctors, William Mead died leaving his family struggling
:09:19. > :09:21.to comprehend how the NHS failed them.
:09:22. > :09:24.As a family, we have to live with that life sentence for the rest
:09:25. > :09:29.But we're at least able to sit here and suffer that.
:09:30. > :09:33.William lost his life and he was just one
:09:34. > :09:41.It's not acceptable and it's not something that can be understood.
:09:42. > :09:44.They're trying to understand how William contracted sepsis,
:09:45. > :09:48.where an infection gets out of control triggering organ failure.
:09:49. > :09:51.An official report suggests it should never have happened
:09:52. > :09:53.and if there hadn't been a series of mistakes,
:09:54. > :09:57.it's likely he'd still be alive today.
:09:58. > :10:01.Mistakes shouldn't happen on multiple occasions,
:10:02. > :10:05.and every time that we went with William, whether it be a phone
:10:06. > :10:08.call, whether it be a visit, whether it be 111, or a different
:10:09. > :10:13.agency, there was an error, a failing, or a missed opportunity.
:10:14. > :10:17.The catalogue of errors set out in the NHS England report started
:10:18. > :10:22.A GP didn't note all the relevant information about his condition.
:10:23. > :10:25.Symptoms weren't recognised as serious.
:10:26. > :10:29.The advice given to William's parents was said to be inadequate.
:10:30. > :10:33.When they called the 111 helpline, a tool used by advisers was too
:10:34. > :10:36.crude to spot tell-tale signs and, on the day before he died,
:10:37. > :10:42.an out-of-hours GP couldn't get access to William's records.
:10:43. > :10:45.Following the demand by Labour for a full explanation,
:10:46. > :10:49.the Health Secretary said sorry to William's mother and her family.
:10:50. > :10:52.Quite simply, we let her, her family and William down
:10:53. > :10:55.in the worst possible way through serious failings
:10:56. > :11:01.And I'd like to apologise to them on behalf of the Government
:11:02. > :11:08.New training for 111 staff is being put in place
:11:09. > :11:11.along with changes to protocols guiding advisers.
:11:12. > :11:15.But the biggest issue is raising awareness of sepsis.
:11:16. > :11:18.There are more than 35,000 deaths a year in the UK,
:11:19. > :11:25.The campaigning group Sepsis Trust says Scotland and Wales now
:11:26. > :11:29.have a better record than England in preventing deaths.
:11:30. > :11:33.For Melissa Mead, getting doctors, nurses call handlers and patients
:11:34. > :11:37.better to understand sepsis is her priority.
:11:38. > :11:40.We have now established what went wrong, we now know how to implement
:11:41. > :11:44.change and what we need to do is actually driving that forward
:11:45. > :11:52.That's the message that I need to get across.
:11:53. > :11:55.I need to make sure that William's legacy lives on.
:11:56. > :12:01.Britain's biggest supermarket chain, Tesco, has been found to have
:12:02. > :12:04.seriously breached the industry's code of conduct.
:12:05. > :12:08.The ombudsman said Tesco had delayed paying money to suppliers for up
:12:09. > :12:11.to two years in order to improve its own financial position.
:12:12. > :12:14.Tesco has apologised and promised to try to rebuild trust
:12:15. > :12:16.with the suppliers, as our business correspondent,
:12:17. > :12:21.Remember the headlines - Tesco in turmoil after
:12:22. > :12:26.the revelation it had massively overstated its profits.
:12:27. > :12:29.It was all to do with how it dealt with its suppliers.
:12:30. > :12:33.Today it was found that Tesco didn't treat them fairly.
:12:34. > :12:36.What I found most shocking was how widespread the practice
:12:37. > :12:42.All sizes of supplier, own label and branded,
:12:43. > :12:45.everywhere in the UK, including overseas, and it was clear
:12:46. > :12:50.that the pressure on buyers to hit their margin targets
:12:51. > :13:01.The ombudsman found it knowingly delayed payments to suppliers.
:13:02. > :13:05.Tesco made unilateral deductions, in other words it held money
:13:06. > :13:08.from suppliers without their agreement.
:13:09. > :13:10.The sums were significant, one supplier was owed several
:13:11. > :13:15.million pounds after prices were wrongly charged and it took two
:13:16. > :13:21.The sums were much smaller for this chocolate business.
:13:22. > :13:27.A delay in payment of less than ?10,000, but it cost them dear.
:13:28. > :13:29.The report found exactly what happened to us,
:13:30. > :13:34.happened to many other suppliers and it was a deliberate act as well.
:13:35. > :13:35.It nearly bankrupted our company when they didn't pay
:13:36. > :13:45.We had to take a personal loan out to cover the staff Christmas
:13:46. > :13:51.Tesco did apologise, saying an administrative
:13:52. > :13:58.Tesco has around 3,000 suppliers keeping these shelves full,
:13:59. > :14:04.Some of the delays and payments were down to poor administration,
:14:05. > :14:07.but others were deliberate, driven by the need to improve
:14:08. > :14:13.The new boss says Tesco is already a different company from the one
:14:14. > :14:21.The report covers a period in history from the middle of 2013
:14:22. > :14:27.We drew a line under that, we changed our business and have
:14:28. > :14:31.continued to change our business in the 15 months since then.
:14:32. > :14:33.The adjudicator recognises that and you can see the progress
:14:34. > :14:38.Tesco has avoided a fine because the ombudsman didn't
:14:39. > :14:42.have the necessary powers at the time, but still coming down
:14:43. > :14:45.the aisles is the criminal investigation by the Serious Fraud
:14:46. > :14:51.That could lead to prosecutions as well as a big financial penalty.

:15:52. > :15:53.Nearly two-thirds of its revenue now comes from the phone
:15:54. > :15:56.and while others are competing by cutting prices, Apple has managed
:15:57. > :16:00.You can't under state how important the iPhone has been to the company,

:16:49. > :16:50.feature, which turns any still into a moving picture,

:16:56. > :16:57.concerned that its best days may be over before the company finds
:16:58. > :17:06.a new blockbuster product to replace it.
:17:07. > :17:09.It's in Apple's first quarter, covering the holiday season,
:17:10. > :17:11.that iPhone sales peak each year.
:17:12. > :17:13.They've leapt ever higher to 74.5 million a year ago.
:17:14. > :17:15.But while the latest figures do show sales up again,
:17:16. > :17:21.the tiny increase to 74.8 million will concern investors.
:17:22. > :17:24.Apple still reported record profits, but analysts were taken aback
:17:25. > :17:34.I was expecting the numbers to be up a little bit,
:17:35. > :17:35.but they're basically flat year-on-year.
:17:36. > :17:39.That creates a headache for Apple because the iPhone is a big chunk

:20:30. > :20:39.In seconds they're inside, hunting for one of the targets
:20:40. > :20:59.Well, the police are inside now, questioning suspects.
:21:00. > :21:02.While they were carrying out the raid here, more than 20 other

:21:04. > :21:06.This has been a long time in the planning,
:21:07. > :21:10.the investigation into this criminal network began a year-and-a-half ago.
:21:11. > :21:16.Police detained the group's main leaders and gathered evidence

:21:53. > :21:55.The Head of the Anti-Trafficking Unit told us a key figure is based
:21:56. > :21:58.in London, bringing women into the UK on fake
:21:59. > :22:03.He says the gang is looking more and more to Britain
:22:04. > :22:09.One of the main new ways to enter victims is through the airports
:22:10. > :22:21.It's a different system to traffic people and it needs always forgeries
:22:22. > :22:24.and is more expensive, but is more secure and we have

:22:41. > :22:44.They are kept in line by threats to their families back home
:22:45. > :22:50.and by physical abuse from Madames who act as enforcers.

:22:59. > :23:03.She says she and her child were brutalised by her Madame.

:23:45. > :23:47.by inspectors or even classed as inadequate if it's judged that

:23:51. > :23:52.The Chief Inspector of Schools, Sir Michael Wilshaw,
:23:53. > :23:55.says he's concerned that some Head teachers are coming under pressure
:23:56. > :23:57.to relax the rules on wearning the niqab.
:23:58. > :23:59.Our education editor, Branwen Jeffreys, is here.
:24:00. > :24:08.Cellan-Jones, BBC News. Why has Sir Michael decided to toughen his
:24:09. > :24:12.approach in this way? Huw, it's certainly a provocative step. Ofsted
:24:13. > :24:16.says it's taking it because schools have come under pressure to change
:24:17. > :24:20.their uniform policies. Every school in England can decide what its
:24:21. > :24:24.pupils should wear and many that have a majority or many Muslim
:24:25. > :24:28.pupils allow girls to cover their hair with a hijab, but don't allow
:24:29. > :24:32.the niqab, the face covering that Sir Michael is objecting to. He says
:24:33. > :24:36.he wants to take a stand against the inappropriate use of the veil, as he
:24:37. > :24:40.describes it. He say it is can, in some circumstances, get in the way
:24:41. > :24:44.of teaching and learning, but Muslim organisations have already said that
:24:45. > :24:49.he's resorting to the politics of fear, was one expression used. More
:24:50. > :24:52.strikingly, all the teaching unions are united in their opposition to
:24:53. > :24:57.this. They've described it as an extreme and unhelpful move and said
:24:58. > :25:01.that it could alienate some pupils and parents and they are asking -
:25:02. > :25:05.where is the evidence that Ofsted has that this can really get in the
:25:06. > :25:07.way of learning? OK. Branwen, thank you very much. Branwen Jeffreys
:25:08. > :25:19.there, our education editor. A mother who delayed her cancer
:25:20. > :25:22.treatment to try to protect her unborn baby, has been
:25:23. > :25:24.describing her experience and the personal
:25:25. > :25:25.challenges she faced. Heidi Loughlin discovered she had
:25:26. > :25:28.an aggressive form of breast cancer Her daughter Ally,
:25:29. > :25:31.who was born prematurely, died when she was
:25:32. > :25:32.just eight-days old. Heidi has been speaking to the BBC's
:25:33. > :25:35.Fiona Lamdin about the choices She left us on the Saturday
:25:36. > :25:43.which is, you know, the darkest time of our lives ever and then,
:25:44. > :25:47.three days later, I had to go back through the motions of starting
:25:48. > :25:49.treatment for myself. Heidi, mum to Noah and Tate,
:25:50. > :25:54.was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer whilst pregnant
:25:55. > :25:59.with their sister. Doctors suggested a termination,
:26:00. > :26:04.but she decided to delay her own life-saving treatment
:26:05. > :26:07.and keep her baby. When they realised the cancer
:26:08. > :26:09.was spreading, they had to deliver her daughter
:26:10. > :26:12.three months early. When she was born, she was amazing,
:26:13. > :26:15.just breathing on her own. She was the most
:26:16. > :26:21.beautiful little girl. She wass like my little beacon
:26:22. > :26:24.of light really because I thought, well, I have to start this really
:26:25. > :26:27.aggressive treatment and while Ally's in neonatal,
:26:28. > :26:30.I will be able to have treatment So we would do it together
:26:31. > :26:36.and everything would be amazing, For five days she was
:26:37. > :26:41.absolutely brilliant. But overnight baby Ally
:26:42. > :26:47.became critically ill You've faced some incredibly
:26:48. > :26:53.difficult dilemmas, I don't regret for one second
:26:54. > :27:04.that I kept Ally and, yeah, when I heard that
:27:05. > :27:06.I had lung nodules I, you know, thought -
:27:07. > :27:10.OK, so it looks like my cancer has spread, but I knew that was the risk
:27:11. > :27:13.I was taking when I decided to keep her, but I don't regret
:27:14. > :27:16.having those days with her. It is hard to be facing, you know,
:27:17. > :27:26.looking at the cancer. There's a good chance it's spread,
:27:27. > :27:29.and that kind of thing, but I knew all those risks
:27:30. > :27:31.when I made that decision. If Heidi had known that her little
:27:32. > :27:34.girl was going to die, she would have kept her
:27:35. > :27:37.pregnancy going for longer, giving her daughter the best chance,
:27:38. > :27:39.but decreasing the possibility I would never know that information,
:27:40. > :27:46.but if I'd of known that, What's changed about the way
:27:47. > :27:53.you're living each day? How are you living life
:27:54. > :27:55.now with your boys? Little trips and bigger trips
:27:56. > :28:02.that we kept saying - oh, we'll do that when the kids
:28:03. > :28:05.are eight or nine. We're going to do them now
:28:06. > :28:08.and I want the boys to be able to remember me and go -
:28:09. > :28:10.although mum wasn't always here for a long time,
:28:11. > :28:13.I have these amazing memories of the things that
:28:14. > :28:15.I did with her. Heidi doesn't know how long she'll
:28:16. > :28:21.have left, but while she is here, she's determined to spend every
:28:22. > :28:24.moment with her family while raising Two women who've read it
:28:25. > :28:27.have already been given If I can come out of this
:28:28. > :28:35.and still be fighting, that should be able to inspire my
:28:36. > :28:38.children to know that whatever is thrown at you, you can make
:28:39. > :28:41.the best of any situation. Ally is with me every
:28:42. > :28:48.step of that way. You know, she's in my mind
:28:49. > :28:52.all the time and I want her to be proud of me and, yeah,
:28:53. > :28:53.I'm, you know... She'll always be my little girl and,
:28:54. > :29:07.you know, she is doing this with me, That was Heidi Loughlin speaking
:29:08. > :29:17.to the BBC's Fiona Lamdin. The storm that saw record amounts
:29:18. > :29:20.of snow in North America is now bringing heavy rain and strong winds
:29:21. > :29:23.to many parts of the UK. Scotland's been
:29:24. > :29:25.particularly affected. High winds upturned lorries
:29:26. > :29:28.on the A1 in East Lothian and Scottish authorities have
:29:29. > :29:31.issued 50 flood warnings. The Isle of Man is one
:29:32. > :29:36.of many places with weather Football news -- and there's been
:29:37. > :29:52.late drama in the Capital One Cup semi-final -- where Liverpool have
:29:53. > :29:55.been playing Stoke City at Anfield. Liverpool were one-nil up
:29:56. > :29:57.from the first leg -- but the visitors scored the only
:29:58. > :30:00.goal in normal and extra-time this evening -- taking
:30:01. > :30:04.the tie to penalties. A Cup semi-final has a way of
:30:05. > :30:06.rousing Anfield, amplifying it beyond its usual level. Liverpool's
:30:07. > :30:11.manager hoped this could spur his side to something special. Stoke
:30:12. > :30:15.haven't won here in more than 50 years. Jon Walters was in a hurry to
:30:16. > :30:20.change that. His timing just wide of the mark. But, after scoring five
:30:21. > :30:23.goals in their last game, Liverpool's attack seemed out of
:30:24. > :30:30.ideas. Can tried to give them something to work with. A dreary
:30:31. > :30:34.first half sparked into life. Bojan pulled the strings. Arnautovic
:30:35. > :30:39.guided it in. A goal brilliantly simple and probably offside. Anfield
:30:40. > :30:44.had been subdued. While Firmino tried to engineer the perfect
:30:45. > :30:50.response, Liverpool were stuttering. Frustrated, viewing would not get
:30:51. > :30:55.much easier for Klopp in extra-time. It was as close as either side would
:30:56. > :31:00.come to a winner. Now the way to Wembley would be paved with
:31:01. > :31:04.penalties. Katie gornal, BBC News. In the past few minutes Liverpool
:31:05. > :31:06.have in fact clinched that a. They beat Stoke 6-5 after that penalty
:31:07. > :31:10.shoot-out. Newsnight is about to begin over
:31:11. > :31:14.on BBC Two in a few moments. Lots tonight, including
:31:15. > :31:16.the zika virus. We're looking at whether it can be
:31:17. > :31:18.transmitted sexually. We'll hear from a man who appears
:31:19. > :31:22.to have passed it on to his wife. Join me now on BBC Two,
