:00:00. > :00:12.The verdict of an independent review.

:00:13. > :00:14.It says thousands of people have died unneccessarily.

:00:15. > :00:19.The Government admits it needs to do much more.

:00:20. > :00:22.We have not done enough to end the stigma of mental health.

:00:23. > :00:25.We have focused a lot on physical health and we haven't,

:00:26. > :00:27.as a country, as a nation, focused enough on

:00:28. > :00:32.The father who lost a son to mental illness.

:00:33. > :00:35.He wants to save other families from the same anguish.

:00:36. > :00:42.As a father, there are no words to describe...

:00:43. > :00:47...how one feels when your son's coffin enters the church.

:00:48. > :00:49.We'll be looking at what today's comprehensive reports

:00:50. > :00:52.is recommending and whether the Government will actually do it.

:00:53. > :00:58.Up to 50 people are killed in Syria in airstrikes on hospitals.

:00:59. > :01:04.The UN calls it a blatant violation of international law.

:01:05. > :01:07.Calls for a crackdown after a laser shone into a cockpit forces

:01:08. > :01:17.a passenger jet to abandon a flight to New York.

:01:18. > :01:20.The personal letters that reveal Pope Jean Paul II's long and intense

:01:21. > :01:29.The student nurse, who died after waiting five hours

:01:30. > :01:33.A coroner says the delay was critical.

:01:34. > :01:34.And exclusive footage of The Met's water canons -

:01:35. > :01:39.bought for hundreds of thousands of pounds and hidden

:01:40. > :01:57.Goood evening and welcome to the BBC News at Ten.

:01:58. > :02:00.Thousands of unnecessary deaths and chronic underinvestment.

:02:01. > :02:03.That's how an independent review sums up the state of mental health

:02:04. > :02:07.The report says three quarters of mentally ill people

:02:08. > :02:10.receive no support at all - and those that do often

:02:11. > :02:14.The Government has accepted the report's recommendations,

:02:15. > :02:18.though has stopped short of saying it will implement them.

:02:19. > :02:22.But first our Health Editor Hugh Pym on how one family's tragedy

:02:23. > :02:32.highlights the many failures of mental health care.

:02:33. > :02:35.When this recording was made of Edward Mullen at the piano,

:02:36. > :02:38.no-one could imagine it would be played at

:02:39. > :02:43.Aged 18, he was due to go to Cambridge University

:02:44. > :02:47.Feeling suicidal he had sought help and was sent away with pills

:02:48. > :02:59.His father, Steve, wrote to the Prime Minister shortly

:03:00. > :03:02.after Edward's death a year ago, saying he

:03:03. > :03:04.believed his son had been let down by the care system.

:03:05. > :03:09.As a father, there are no words to describe...

:03:10. > :03:12...how one feels when your son's coffin enters the church

:03:13. > :03:15.while you are listening to his accomplished notes

:03:16. > :03:20.It is very clear here we have a completely

:03:21. > :03:27.This is not about a system that needs a slight reform or some slight

:03:28. > :03:31.change, this is about a fundamental process that we, as a society,

:03:32. > :03:35.have not got appropriately right.

:03:36. > :03:37.Thousands of stories like this helped inform the task force

:03:38. > :03:39.report, which includes strong criticism.

:03:40. > :03:43.It says there are thousands of tragic and unnecessary deaths.

:03:44. > :03:45.One of the reasons is chronic underinvestment in mental

:03:46. > :03:48.health care and three quarters of people with mental health

:03:49. > :03:55.The head of NHS England told me the system

:03:56. > :04:00.The NHS wants to - and needs to - up our game

:04:01. > :04:03.when it comes to mental health.

:04:04. > :04:05.It is not something that can be done overnight

:04:06. > :04:07.but we clearly want to expand the range of treatments

:04:08. > :04:10.for children, for pregnant mums, for people at

:04:11. > :04:15.Heading off potential problems facing young

:04:16. > :04:22.Early intervention is seen by the task force as a priority.

:04:23. > :04:25.That is getting teenagers like these to talk

:04:26. > :04:27.openly about their emotional well-being and to identify

:04:28. > :04:31.and discuss mental health challenges, which they and their

:04:32. > :04:38.Let's think about physical health and emotional and mental health.

:04:39. > :04:41.This school in West Sussex is using a programme devised

:04:42. > :04:46.by the Samaritans, as part of the regular curriculum.

:04:47. > :04:49.Now I specifically know what people go through and how hard it can

:04:50. > :04:57.It talked us through how everyone reacts differently to mental

:04:58. > :05:01.They can quite often become undetected.

:05:02. > :05:03.The report action plan, now adopted by NHS England,

:05:04. > :05:05.includes a million more people being treated

:05:06. > :05:09.by 2020, 24/7 crisis support at A units in hospitals

:05:10. > :05:15.and increased access to talking therapies, including counselling.

:05:16. > :05:17.To pay for it there will be ?1 billion

:05:18. > :05:26.This will come from money already allocated to the NHS.

:05:27. > :05:32.In Wales, more is spent on mental health than any

:05:33. > :05:34.other part of the NHS, according to a spokesman.

:05:35. > :05:36.The Northern Ireland executive said there had been higher

:05:37. > :05:43.For Steve Mallon, the new plan for England is welcome but it can

:05:44. > :05:47.only be judged if it is delivered in full.

:05:48. > :05:49.What we have to be sure is this does not

:05:50. > :05:54.turn into some sort of Orwellian rhetoric, when a government

:05:55. > :05:57.is always announcing ever bigger numbers and ever more initiatives

:05:58. > :06:00.and yet the experience of real people in real schools and in real

:06:01. > :06:03.families and real communities is not changing on a day-to-day basis.

:06:04. > :06:06.The report's ambitions have been widely

:06:07. > :06:07.praised but no-one is denying that putting mental health on the same

:06:08. > :06:15.level as physical health care could take some time yet.

:06:16. > :06:17.This morning I went to talk to the Prime Minister

:06:18. > :06:19.about the findings in today's report, which he acknowledged showed

:06:20. > :06:22.the Government has failed to adequately tackle mental

:06:23. > :06:27.So let's talk about today's task force report, Prime Minister.

:06:28. > :06:29.Inadequate provision, worsening outcomes and an increase

:06:30. > :06:31.in the number of people committing suicide.

:06:32. > :06:35.That is the verdict of the task force on mental health since 2011.

:06:36. > :06:40.Why have you allowed this to happen since you have been Prime Minister?

:06:41. > :06:44.It is a very powerful report and it shows how much more we need to do.

:06:45. > :06:48.It tells us what we need to do and yes, we should be frank,

:06:49. > :06:51.we've not done enough to end the stigma of mental health.

:06:52. > :06:53.We have focused a lot on physical health and we haven't,

:06:54. > :06:56.as a country, as a nation, focused enough on mental health.

:06:57. > :07:00.Let's talk about a specific case which I know you are aware

:07:01. > :07:03.of which is the case of Ed Mannen, the son of Steve Mannen,

:07:04. > :07:09.His 18-year-old son, presented as a clear suicide risk,

:07:10. > :07:12.was given a strip of pills and a couple of website addresses.

:07:13. > :07:16.And very shortly afterwards he took his own life.

:07:17. > :07:19.Can you pledge that by the end of your tenure as prime minister,

:07:20. > :07:22.there will no longer be a lack of care for young

:07:23. > :07:26.Of course, I can't pledge that there won't be tragic events

:07:27. > :07:35.Absolutely, and what I can pledge is that we are going to expand,

:07:36. > :07:38.for instance, the Talking Therapies that I think have been so valuable

:07:39. > :07:40.for so many people and the money is there for that.

:07:41. > :07:43.As I've said, three quarters of a million more people already

:07:44. > :07:47.For the first time ever, waiting lists, waiting times,

:07:48. > :07:50.rather, so, if, for instance you have psychosis, you should get

:07:51. > :07:56.When you say two weeks, the average waiting time for a child

:07:57. > :07:59.to get access to therapy is 32 weeks.

:08:00. > :08:02.It's far too long and that's why we're putting in the money.

:08:03. > :08:06.As I said, not just money, it is also saying, let's have...

:08:07. > :08:09.We're very familiar with the waiting time targets for physical health.

:08:10. > :08:12.You shouldn't have to wait longer than 18 weeks for your treatment.

:08:13. > :08:15.We are now doing that for mental health as well.

:08:16. > :08:17.The task force report recommends that no one should have to wait

:08:18. > :08:22.longer than two weeks for access to therapy by 2021.

:08:23. > :08:24.Can you pledge that that will happen?

:08:25. > :08:26.We can only pledge what we can afford.

:08:27. > :08:30.I don't know that I can make that specific pledge and I don't

:08:31. > :08:31.want to say something on your programme that

:08:32. > :08:35.Let's talk about another recommendation in the task force

:08:36. > :08:37.report, which is to end the situation where children

:08:38. > :08:42.and adults are sent out of the local area, sometimes hundreds of miles,

:08:43. > :08:44.to get to an acute psychiatric bed, when they are in crisis.

:08:45. > :08:50.The task force report recommends that system be ended by 2021.

:08:51. > :08:55.Again, we accept the report, that's what we want to see happen.

:08:56. > :08:57.At the moment people are having to travel too far.

:08:58. > :08:59.If you look, for instance, at children and mental

:09:00. > :09:02.health bed provision, there is actually more bed provision

:09:03. > :09:05.than there has been in the past but we are also seeing, frankly,

:09:06. > :09:08.more children presenting with mental health problems.

:09:09. > :09:11.If you look, for instance, at eating disorders,

:09:12. > :09:14.we have seen a big increase in those so extra money and extra

:09:15. > :09:19.But yes, we accept what is in the report and now we have to work

:09:20. > :09:21.out, have we got the resources necessary to deliver

:09:22. > :09:25.I'm slightly puzzled because I have put two of the recommendations

:09:26. > :09:27.in the report to you, Prime Minister, and you say

:09:28. > :09:29.you accept the recommendations, but what are you

:09:30. > :09:33.Which of these pledges are you actually going to fulfil?

:09:34. > :09:36.We are going to spend ?1 billion extra per year over the coming

:09:37. > :09:38.period in order to deliver a million more treatments

:09:39. > :09:41.and we are going to go through this report and as we respond

:09:42. > :09:44.to the report, we will be able to say exactly

:09:45. > :09:47.which of the recommendations we can meet and how quickly we can meet it.

:09:48. > :09:50.We want to end the stigma of mental health in our country.

:09:51. > :09:53.We want to ensure that parity of esteem that we have all talked

:09:54. > :09:55.about but previous governments haven't been able to

:09:56. > :10:01.The Prime Minister talking to me earlier.

:10:02. > :10:04.And we'll be taking a closer look at mental health right through this

:10:05. > :10:09.week, in a season of programmes on BBC One called In the Mind.

:10:10. > :10:12.All the details are on our special website at bbc.co.uk/in the mind,

:10:13. > :10:15.including information about where you can find help

:10:16. > :10:23.And you can follow us on social media at hashtag In the Mind.

:10:24. > :10:25.The United Nations has said as many as 50 people,

:10:26. > :10:28.including children, have been killed in a series of air strikes

:10:29. > :10:30.on hospitals and schools in Northern Syria.

:10:31. > :10:32.Turkey has blamed Russia for one of the attacks.

:10:33. > :10:35.Syria's ambassador to Russia has blamed the US.

:10:36. > :10:41.It's raised fresh doubts about whether a pause

:10:42. > :10:44.in the fighting, due later this week, will actually happen.

:10:45. > :10:50.Here's our Diplomatic Correspondent, James Robbins.

:10:51. > :10:51.In north-east Syria, rescue workers scramble over

:10:52. > :10:54.the rubble of hospital hit by missiles to rescue any survivors

:10:55. > :11:01.It has been bombing intensively in this rebel-held area

:11:02. > :11:05.to try to win it back for President Assad.

:11:06. > :11:07.The hospital is completely destroyed.

:11:08. > :11:13.We report at least seven deaths among the personnel and patients

:11:14. > :11:18.and at least eight personnel of Medecins Sans Frontieres

:11:19. > :11:24.Further north, in Azaz, missiles hit a children's hospital

:11:25. > :11:28.and the school apparently sheltering refugees fleeing from the joint

:11:29. > :11:33.This is meant to be the week when attacks wind down ahead

:11:34. > :11:36.of a cessation of hostilities agreed by Russia and the United States.

:11:37. > :11:41.But tonight President Assad has been on Syrian state television pouring

:11:42. > :11:45.buckets of very cold water on talk of a ceasefire.

:11:46. > :11:50."A week to prepare is not enough", he said.

:11:51. > :11:52."It means stopping terrorists strengthening their positions and it

:11:53. > :11:57.does not mean each party stops using weapons."

:11:58. > :12:00.Russia is making very clear that in this conflict it has no intention

:12:01. > :12:04.of giving up its bombing campaign and to see the pattern

:12:05. > :12:09.of its strikes, let's look at a map showing most are aimed at areas held

:12:10. > :12:12.by opposition rebel forces backed by the US-led coalition.

:12:13. > :12:17.Not at the Islamist extremists here in red that Washington believes

:12:18. > :12:23.Russia sees no distinction and still hopes President Assad can win.

:12:24. > :12:28.Partly because Russia has it only Mediterranean naval base

:12:29. > :12:34.Partly because Vladimir Putin remembers Soviet President Brezhnev

:12:35. > :12:37.and President Assad's father as allies in Cold War days and wants

:12:38. > :12:44.Now it is also being suggested Mr Putin is even enjoying

:12:45. > :12:46.the migration crisis in Europe, dividing and weakening

:12:47. > :12:50.another of his foes, the European Union.

:12:51. > :12:53.The Russians can end this, if they want to, they can make this

:12:54. > :12:55.cessation of hostilities work by scaling back their bombing

:12:56. > :12:58.and redirecting it against the real terrorists rather than

:12:59. > :13:03.But if the Russians think that the moderate opposition

:13:04. > :13:06.are going to lay down their weapons while they carry on bombing moderate

:13:07. > :13:10.opposition positions, they are wrong, that's

:13:11. > :13:22.But Russia shows no sign of changing course and is now embroiled

:13:23. > :13:25.in a hotter and hotter war of words with Syria's neighbour,

:13:26. > :13:28.Washington is urging cooler heads but a cessation of hostilities

:13:29. > :13:31.promised by the end of this we can hardly be relied on.

:13:32. > :13:34.Pilots are calling for tougher laws on the sale and possession of lasers

:13:35. > :13:39.after a plane had to turn back when one of its pilots was injured

:13:40. > :13:45.The Virgin Atlantic flight had been heading for New York but returned

:13:46. > :13:52.Her report contains some flashing images.

:13:53. > :13:55.Stationary before heading down the runway for a second time.

:13:56. > :14:00.Last night this Virgin Atlantic Airbus took off without incident

:14:01. > :14:02.but shortly after, the crew contacted air traffic control

:14:03. > :14:14.and told them one of the pilots was experiencing difficulties.

:14:15. > :14:16.The pilots union, BALPA, says those targeting aircraft may

:14:17. > :14:20.not know just how serious the consequences can be.

:14:21. > :14:24.Initially it is bright flashing and you can get shadows.

:14:25. > :14:29.The distraction that these can cause at the critical stage of flight,

:14:30. > :14:33.take-off and landing, could potentially lead

:14:34. > :14:52.Virgin Atlantic said the flight was brought back to Heathrow

:14:53. > :15:03.BALPA say that 50% of the 810 pilots surveyed last year said they had

:15:04. > :15:08.One reason for the surge is the greater availability

:15:09. > :15:16.In a room, pointing at something with them, they are far

:15:17. > :15:22.There really isn't an application internally for these.

:15:23. > :15:28.Outside, again, other than to try to deliberately blind

:15:29. > :15:34.someone if you are targeting people, again, there is no real application.

:15:35. > :15:38.It is an offence to shine a light at an aircraft while it is in flight

:15:39. > :15:40.but BALPA are now calling for it to be made more serious.

:15:41. > :15:44.They say that carrying a laser strong enough to ground a plane

:15:45. > :15:46.like this one is the same as possessing an offensive

:15:47. > :15:51.weapon and they want that recognised legally.

:15:52. > :15:54.Police are trying to find the person responsible for delaying hundreds

:15:55. > :15:56.of people's travel plans and for the potential damage

:15:57. > :16:07.The President of the European Council has warned there's a "real"

:16:08. > :16:10.risk that the EU could break up, if the UK decides to leave.

:16:11. > :16:13.Donald Tusk said David Cameron's negotiations with EU leaders,

:16:14. > :16:18.ahead of a key summit on Thursday, had reached a "critical moment".

:16:19. > :16:20.In a moment, we'll speak to our political editor,

:16:21. > :16:22.Laura Kuenssberg, to hear how Mr Cameron has been dealing

:16:23. > :16:27.where he's meeting the French President tonight,

:16:28. > :16:29.and speak to our Europe Editor, Katya Adler.

:16:30. > :16:32.Katya, this meeting wasn't in the diary.

:16:33. > :16:34.It's been arranged at the last minute.

:16:35. > :16:47.David Cameron's mad dash to Paris is yet another indication that all

:16:48. > :16:51.might not be well with his deal at the summit later this week. France

:16:52. > :16:56.is extremely concerned about his push to protect non-euro countries

:16:57. > :17:04.from Eurozone regulations, fair countries use the euro so White

:17:05. > :17:07.should they be able to gang up to the

:17:08. > :17:08.should they be able to gang up to countries like Britain but France

:17:09. > :17:13.things Cameron is being sneaky countries like Britain but France

:17:14. > :17:18.he wants a special deal for London and a back door veto on wider

:17:19. > :17:22.Eurozone legislation. The French economy is sluggish to put it

:17:23. > :17:26.politely, the president is about to try to get re-elected and he can't

:17:27. > :17:30.afford to be seen to help written do better financially while his

:17:31. > :17:36.Eurozone hands are tied -- help Britain. Just before the publication

:17:37. > :17:43.of David Cameron's draft negotiations, I was told they were

:17:44. > :17:46.delayed by hours, worried by wording. Every EU leader has to cite

:17:47. > :17:51.that this for them to be passed, France could again quibble and

:17:52. > :17:54.dashed the Prime Minister's hopes of a deal if it so chooses.

:17:55. > :17:56.Laura, pressure abroad for Mr Cameron and more evidence

:17:57. > :18:09.Indeed. You might think that managing his own party would be a

:18:10. > :18:14.breeze impaired to dealing with 27 European leaders, fractious as they

:18:15. > :18:20.are, but not necessarily so full that after weeks of considerable

:18:21. > :18:24.pressure from Eurosceptic ministers, number ten has had to concede that

:18:25. > :18:28.when David Cameron debts back here, probably with a deal, he will have

:18:29. > :18:32.to have his cabinet in for a crucial meeting to take the government

:18:33. > :18:36.positions and immediately afterwards something extraordinary will happen.

:18:37. > :18:42.Cabinet ministers who want to argue to leave the EU against his position

:18:43. > :18:46.will be allowed to do so publicly. That matters because number ten had

:18:47. > :18:51.wanted to hold the line for 48 hours before David Cameron to make his

:18:52. > :18:55.case more or less uninterrupted over the weekend before Cabinet ministers

:18:56. > :19:00.would be un-gagged to say what they thought. The fact that number ten

:19:01. > :19:03.has had to give way, although they say they had never completely made

:19:04. > :19:07.their mind up, tells us something very important. This is not just a

:19:08. > :19:14.question for political nerds, it tells us that at this vital moment,

:19:15. > :19:18.David Cameron, powerful as he is, can't get everything his own way and

:19:19. > :19:21.it will be difficult for him to control his Eurosceptic ministers

:19:22. > :19:27.and the many other Eurosceptics in his party. As the summit approaches,

:19:28. > :19:33.it is a reminder PS3 difficult audiences, not just EU leaders but

:19:34. > :19:38.also those in his own party and the most important one at all, the

:19:39. > :19:42.public who will vote at the end of June -- he has three difficult

:19:43. > :19:50.audiences. And for all involved it is very nearly showtime. Thank you.

:19:51. > :19:52.As we've heard, controlling migration is one of the greatest

:19:53. > :19:55.challenges in David Cameron's EU negotiations.

:19:56. > :19:58.But when he first set out how he wanted to change Britain's

:19:59. > :20:00.relationship with the European Union, in a key speech

:20:01. > :20:02.in 2013, the issue wasn't even mentioned.

:20:03. > :20:06.But since then, migration has gradually developed into one

:20:07. > :20:09.of the dominant themes of the debate about EU membership -

:20:10. > :20:12.even more so following the exodus of people from Syria -

:20:13. > :20:16.as our Special Correspondent, Gavin Hewitt explains.

:20:17. > :20:19.For David Cameron, this is the week when Europe's leaders

:20:20. > :20:22.will deliver their verdict on Britain's demands and no issue

:20:23. > :20:28.Three years ago the Prime Minister went to the Bloomberg headquarters

:20:29. > :20:30.in London and began laying out his European demands.

:20:31. > :20:37.It is time for the British people to have their say.

:20:38. > :20:40.Before David Cameron made his big speech about Europe here he had

:20:41. > :20:43.spoken about bringing the levels of net migration down to the 1990s

:20:44. > :20:46.but what he didn't mention at this podium was soon rising up

:20:47. > :20:55.Poll after poll showed that the number one concern amongst

:20:56. > :20:58.the population is immigration and also, Ukip were remarkably

:20:59. > :21:00.successful in linking the issues of immigration and EU membership

:21:01. > :21:10.They believed that in the European elections, the issue of migration

:21:11. > :21:18.had won them more votes than the issue of Europe itself.

:21:19. > :21:23.About a third of the population are migrants.

:21:24. > :21:26.Many people say migration is the issue that will influence

:21:27. > :21:31.whether they vote in or out in the referendum.

:21:32. > :21:37.I think it's the pressure that it puts on resources,

:21:38. > :21:43.the National Health Service, things like transport systems, housing.

:21:44. > :21:46.58% of the class did not speak English.

:21:47. > :21:54.So during the second half of 2014 and with a general election

:21:55. > :21:58.on the horizon, migration is not just becoming a major little issue.

:21:59. > :22:03.But it was placed right at the heart of the EU renegotiation.

:22:04. > :22:06.Numbers that have increased faster than we in this country wanted.

:22:07. > :22:09.All of this has to change and it will be at the very heart

:22:10. > :22:15.of my renegotiation strategy for Europe.

:22:16. > :22:18.By November 2014 he had settled on restricting benefits as the key

:22:19. > :22:29.Two weeks ago, David Cameron asked for an emergency break.

:22:30. > :22:30.When social services were under pressure,

:22:31. > :22:32.EU migrants could be restricted from receiving in work benefits

:22:33. > :22:46.How quickly would benefits for migrants be phased in.

:22:47. > :22:49.But details matter for this will be one of the key battle grounds

:22:50. > :22:52.The choice will ultimately be staying in the European Union

:22:53. > :22:54.where we will have high levels of net migration,

:22:55. > :22:56.not least because Britain's economy is doing better,

:22:57. > :22:59.or being outside the European Union and being able to control our

:23:00. > :23:04.I would say there are legitimate concerns that you've got

:23:05. > :23:06.about fairness and about people making a contribution before

:23:07. > :23:09.they take money out, that we are seeking to address.

:23:10. > :23:14.And child benefit as well, I think they are important issues.

:23:15. > :23:17.To people who are concerned about the unfairness of that,

:23:18. > :23:19.they are not xenophobic, not anti-European, not racist,

:23:20. > :23:24.Casting a shadow over all of this is the wider migrant crisis,

:23:25. > :23:27.a burden mainly shouldered by Germany.

:23:28. > :23:31.Both sides in the UK debate know that the numbers moving

:23:32. > :23:33.through Europe might influence voters, even though Britain

:23:34. > :23:41.A very senior European official has warned that Britain could vote

:23:42. > :23:43.to leave the EU simply because of this wider migrant crisis

:23:44. > :23:52.and the impression given that the European Union

:23:53. > :24:00.In Brussels this week, the Prime Minister will need to pin

:24:01. > :24:06.down key details and then persuade the voters that any deal is binding.

:24:07. > :24:09.The families of members of the indie band, Viola Beach,

:24:10. > :24:13.killed in a car accident in Sweden on Saturday,

:24:14. > :24:17.The four friends and their manager died when their hire car plunged

:24:18. > :24:18.from a bridge just outside Stockholm.

:24:19. > :24:20.They'd just played their first gig abroad.

:24:21. > :24:24.This report from Claire Savage contains flashing images.

:24:25. > :24:31.# And she said together we could take on the world #.

:24:32. > :24:33.Living the dream, that's how Viola Beach had been

:24:34. > :24:36.describing their music career to friends and family before

:24:37. > :24:41.Life was just getting good for them and then this

:24:42. > :24:48.But they were all together and that's the only comfort

:24:49. > :24:53.The band were just so happy, they were living the dream,

:24:54. > :24:56.And they were very, very dedicated musicians.

:24:57. > :24:59.Nothing else mattered but playing in any gig,

:25:00. > :25:11.River Reeves, Tomas Lowe, Kris Leonard and Jack Dakin,

:25:12. > :25:16.aged between 19 and 27, along with their manager,

:25:20. > :25:22.through barriers and off a highway bridge into a canal more

:25:23. > :25:26.When Craig first asked me to listen to the band,

:25:27. > :25:28.he said, look, what do you think of these, Dad?

:25:29. > :25:31.I said, son, that's it, get them signed up, get the music

:25:32. > :25:37.out there because these lads are going to be really big.

:25:38. > :25:45.And it's just a tragic loss, I just hope they don't die in vain.

:25:46. > :25:48.They had started to play gigs in Europe and were just

:25:49. > :25:50.about to head off to the United States before playing

:25:51. > :25:56.festivals back in the UK this summer.

:25:57. > :26:03.We just want people to just enjoy that, it was their dream,

:26:04. > :26:18.I think we just feel the only thing we've got left is for them to make

:26:19. > :26:20.As detectives in Sweden continue to investigate the cause

:26:21. > :26:23.of the crash, the families are still searching for answers.
