:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight at Ten: The High Court rules it is the responsibility of the NHS

:00:09. > :00:12.to fund a drug that prevents HIV but should it pay for the treatment?

:00:13. > :00:14.Campaigners argue the drug is a gamechanger, dramatically

:00:15. > :00:21.This gives us the first chance to really start

:00:22. > :00:28.There are other diseases and conditions that we need

:00:29. > :00:33.to prioritise the resources of the NHS for.

:00:34. > :00:36.As NHS England says it plans to appeal the court's ruling we ask

:00:37. > :00:40.what the health service's priorities should be?

:00:41. > :00:43.Also tonight: There've been sharp drops in home ownership in all major

:00:44. > :00:46.urban areas in England and particularly in Manchester.

:00:47. > :00:49.A man is jailed for life for the rape and murder

:00:50. > :00:51.of 20-year-old India Chipchase whom he met outside

:00:52. > :00:58.Seeking justice for a minority community hounded and persecuted

:00:59. > :01:04.Getting ready for Rio, Brazil says it's confident

:01:05. > :01:13.And, wanted, a teacher for a very small school on a very small island.

:01:14. > :01:15.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News:

:01:16. > :01:19.UK Anti-Doping says its waiting to learn exactly why the British

:01:20. > :01:21.cyclist Lizzie Armitstead was cleared to race in Rio

:01:22. > :01:49.The NHS in England has been told by the High Court that it can fund

:01:50. > :01:54.a drug that helps prevent the transmission of HIV,

:01:55. > :01:57.a ruling that's being celebrated as a victory by campaigners.

:01:58. > :02:00.The court rejected the Health Service's argument that

:02:01. > :02:02.the groundbreaking treatment, known as PrEP, should be

:02:03. > :02:07.But the annual cost stands at an estimated ?10 to ?20 million,

:02:08. > :02:10.and the NHS has said it will appeal the ruling.

:02:11. > :02:19.Sadiq's life was put on hold when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive.

:02:20. > :02:23.Just a month before he thought he'd be chosen for a trial of the drug

:02:24. > :02:25.now known to prevent infection, but he narrowly missed out.

:02:26. > :02:35.He's back now to his training as a circus performer and says

:02:36. > :02:39.the argument in favour of the drug, known as PrEP, is clear.

:02:40. > :02:43.That's one thing that I don't think we think about PrEP a lot,

:02:44. > :02:45.is it stops the transmission of the fact, but it also

:02:46. > :02:47.stops the transmission of the psychological effects

:02:48. > :02:49.of being diagnosed with HIV, which can and do

:02:50. > :02:53.PrEP is currently available in some other countries, including the US,

:02:54. > :02:59.The NHS argument is that in England local authorities are responsible

:03:00. > :03:02.for sexual health and prevention, so they should pay for it.

:03:03. > :03:04.That was rejected by a High Court judge.

:03:05. > :03:07.The cost of the pills is up to ?400 a month.

:03:08. > :03:09.The estimated annual bill for the NHS would be

:03:10. > :03:12.between ?10 and ?20 million, but campaigners say it's cost

:03:13. > :03:16.effective because lifetime patient for an HIV patient

:03:17. > :03:22.ARCHIVE: If you ignore AIDS, it could be the death of you.

:03:23. > :03:29.AIDS is no longer the threat it was at the time of this

:03:30. > :03:33.Thanks to new drugs, HIV patients are much less

:03:34. > :03:36.likely to develop AIDS, but campaigners say reducing the HIV

:03:37. > :03:39.infection rate is still a priority and today's ruling is significant.

:03:40. > :03:47.We're really delighted and it's such an important decision that

:03:48. > :03:50.could have such great impact for people at risk of HIV.

:03:51. > :03:53.Why do you say the NHS should pay to protect people

:03:54. > :03:57.when they could look after themselves by having protected sex?

:03:58. > :04:01.The majority of gay men do protect themselves by using condoms

:04:02. > :04:05.and we know from studies that condom use among gay men is much higher

:04:06. > :04:08.than the general population but, as with the general population,

:04:09. > :04:12.often people aren't able to successfully use

:04:13. > :04:16.The legal battle is far from over, NHS England says it'll

:04:17. > :04:19.appeal against today's High Court ruling and,

:04:20. > :04:22.even if that fails, it's under no obligation to fund the drug or do

:04:23. > :04:24.anything more than consider its cost effectiveness, alongside treatments

:04:25. > :04:31.PrEP, subject to the appeal, will be seen and considered

:04:32. > :04:33.alongside 13 other treatments, including treatments for children

:04:34. > :04:35.with cystic fibrosis, prosthetic limb loss and certain

:04:36. > :04:49.It's all about assessing competing demands on a finite budget.

:04:50. > :04:52.Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are also deciding whether

:04:53. > :04:57.As far as Sadiq's concerned, the new drug deserves

:04:58. > :05:04.I missed that chance and that's why I advocate for PrEP.

:05:05. > :05:07.Other people in my position, with the right knowledge,

:05:08. > :05:09.which can be provided, can stop themselves from contracting HIV.

:05:10. > :05:15.Even though I am in a good place and I am strong and I am

:05:16. > :05:18.healthy and I am fit, it's still hits me every time

:05:19. > :05:31.Do the health services' concerns over funding this drug go wider than

:05:32. > :05:36.this particular case? Well, yes. The background to all of this is

:05:37. > :05:40.increasing number of new drugs and treatments coming on stream the

:05:41. > :05:43.whole time and patients want them but there is a constrained special

:05:44. > :05:47.budget at NHS England. That was a key fact Forrest them going to court

:05:48. > :05:54.to show that under law in England it's local authorities who

:05:55. > :06:00.There is a wider point which both sides in this have noticed which is

:06:01. > :06:05.that the judgment includes the following phrase, the power of NHS

:06:06. > :06:08.England includes commissioning for preventive purposes, which sounds

:06:09. > :06:12.quite a broad definition. I am told NHS England wants to go to the Court

:06:13. > :06:16.of Appeal to find out exactly what that means, to get clarity. Does it

:06:17. > :06:19.mean they have a much broader role than they thought over prevention as

:06:20. > :06:23.well as care? Does it mean there might be other drugs and treatments

:06:24. > :06:28.for people who are otherwise healthy on the off-chance they might get an

:06:29. > :06:31.infection or disease? What might it cost? Doesn't public health England

:06:32. > :06:35.have a role? Some campaigners and MPs are saying hang on, NHS England

:06:36. > :06:39.have lost the argument, they should gracefully accept defeat and get on

:06:40. > :06:43.with assessing this drug which has been proved in trials to be so

:06:44. > :06:44.highly effective for those most at risk of the HIV infection.

:06:45. > :06:50.Thank you. The housing crisis, so commonly

:06:51. > :06:52.associated with London, has spread to other regions of England,

:06:53. > :06:55.according to new analysis. The think-tank The Resolution

:06:56. > :06:57.Foundation says that areas in northern England and the Midlands

:06:58. > :06:59.are becoming increasingly unaffordable, with the proportion

:07:00. > :07:02.owning their own home falling most Our home editor Mark Easton

:07:03. > :07:10.is in Salford and sent this report. If we thought the housing crisis

:07:11. > :07:13.was just a London and south-east New analysis of official figures

:07:14. > :07:16.suggests the impact has been And nowhere more so than

:07:17. > :07:19.in Greater Manchester, where the proportion

:07:20. > :07:21.who own their own home has fallen dramatically over

:07:22. > :07:28.the last 10 to 15 years. Welcome to Reservoir Street

:07:29. > :07:30.in Salford, Greater Manchester. A terrace which mirrors the story

:07:31. > :07:32.of inner-city housing. When these homes were built

:07:33. > :07:35.just over 100 years ago, Home ownership was only

:07:36. > :07:44.for the privileged few. Over the decades, they were bought

:07:45. > :07:47.by their occupants. But then as people left the inner

:07:48. > :07:50.cities, they fell into disrepair. Now, after a refurbishment,

:07:51. > :07:53.more than half are being rented again, mostly from

:07:54. > :07:56.private landlords. I've been trying to save for a fair

:07:57. > :08:02.few years now just to get Unless your parents can help you,

:08:03. > :08:07.really, these days it's so hard I've noticed a few for sale

:08:08. > :08:11.signs, who's buying? My landlord is actually

:08:12. > :08:13.someone from London. A lot of people are coming up

:08:14. > :08:16.here to buy them because they are cheaper investments

:08:17. > :08:18.than anything down in London. And then renting them

:08:19. > :08:22.out to people like you? Yes, it's people like us

:08:23. > :08:25.who are renting them. Local estate agents say recent

:08:26. > :08:28.changes to stamp duty are deterring some buy-to-let landlords,

:08:29. > :08:31.but the market has been A lot of first-time

:08:32. > :08:39.buyers were being beaten They were paying a good price

:08:40. > :08:44.for a good property and the first time buyers just weren't getting

:08:45. > :08:46.a look in. Reservoir Street has

:08:47. > :08:47.another claim to fame. It was the original

:08:48. > :08:49.Coronation Street in the titles of the soap opera when it

:08:50. > :08:55.launched back in 1960. Then, most people in

:08:56. > :08:58.Manchester rented. Two decades on, and Margaret

:09:01. > :09:08.peaked in 2003, but has Social housing has also been

:09:09. > :09:14.declining, with the private rented There have been big

:09:15. > :09:19.falls in homeownership in Greater Manchester,

:09:20. > :09:23.in the West Midlands, In Scotland yesterday

:09:24. > :09:31.the Scottish Government ended 30 years of Right to Buy for council

:09:32. > :09:34.tenants, saying it was important to protect and expand

:09:35. > :09:36.social housing. In England, they're extending Right

:09:50. > :09:54.outside Downing Street when she took over that there's more to do,

:09:55. > :09:58.and she wants to ensure that people who work hard have the chance

:09:59. > :10:00.to own their own home. The government says it will build

:10:01. > :10:03.1 million new homes in England by 2020, but with the average house

:10:04. > :10:06.now costing more than five times the annual earnings of the average

:10:07. > :10:09.first-time buyer, home ownership looks likely to remain a distant

:10:10. > :10:21.dream for millions. Mark Easton, BBC News,

:10:22. > :10:22.Greater Manchester. Two years ago, the self-styled

:10:23. > :10:25.Islamic State group launched Thousands of members of the ancient

:10:26. > :10:29.Yazidi community were trapped. Most of the men were executed

:10:30. > :10:31.and hundreds of women forced The attacks spurred

:10:32. > :10:34.the international community Now the BBC has been given

:10:35. > :10:39.exclusive access to a group of lawyers and investigators,

:10:40. > :10:42.who are trying to bring Our security correspondent

:10:43. > :10:48.Frank Gardner went to meet them. On the run, dehydrated

:10:49. > :10:54.and terrified. Hundreds of Yazidi families fled

:10:55. > :10:57.for their lives when Islamic State fighters attacked their villages

:10:58. > :11:01.near Mount Sinjar, Many escaped, including those

:11:02. > :11:07.rescued by helicopter. But two years on, the women

:11:08. > :11:10.and girls who were captured on the ground are still

:11:11. > :11:15.enduring a living hell. "Where is my yazidi girl",

:11:16. > :11:21.demands this IS fighter? He and the others are discussing

:11:22. > :11:25.a modern day sex slave market for Yazidi women and girls,

:11:26. > :11:29.some as young as nine. Now investigators are working

:11:30. > :11:37.to identify those responsible. Here, amongst all these boxes

:11:38. > :11:40.of documents in a European capital that we have been asked not to name,

:11:41. > :11:44.is the evidence that war crimes investigators say points

:11:45. > :11:47.to the culpability of senior Islamic State commanders

:11:48. > :11:50.for the mass abduction and sexual slavery of hundreds,

:11:51. > :11:53.possibly thousands, of Yazidi women We have hundreds of women

:11:54. > :12:00.that remain enslaved... Bill Wiley is heading

:12:01. > :12:02.the investigation. His team's research

:12:03. > :12:05.into war crimes by IS, also known as Daesh,

:12:06. > :12:08.is being funded by What we have is a lot of evidence

:12:09. > :12:14.that there was a policy, an unwritten policy,

:12:15. > :12:18.that this was permissible and the key for us is to establish

:12:19. > :12:24.the criminal responsibility, not of Daesh as a whole,

:12:25. > :12:29.but individual leaders within Daesh. Tracing the Daesh or IS leadership's

:12:30. > :12:32.involvement in sexual slavery has identified over 40 slave owners

:12:33. > :12:37.and over 30 senior IS figures. Beneath the leader of

:12:38. > :12:39.the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, are those

:12:40. > :12:46.believed responsible, like this former school

:12:47. > :12:49.teacher Abu Alaa Al Fri, Still assumed to be at large,

:12:50. > :12:53.though, are the economic and finance Emirs in the town of Tal Afar named

:12:54. > :12:57.as Haji Bakr and Abu Ali. They take these women and they see

:12:58. > :13:01.them as a value to them. This investigator asked to remain

:13:02. > :13:05.anonymous for his own safety. I asked him how optimistic

:13:06. > :13:08.he was these men would face justice? Well, our focus today is to ensure

:13:09. > :13:11.that the failures of the past aren't repeated and those failures

:13:12. > :13:15.of the past are that no evidence It's for that reason that we think

:13:16. > :13:36.first and foremost we need to do the job of evidence

:13:37. > :13:38.collecting while we can. Justice for the Yazidis, though,

:13:39. > :13:41.may still be years away. There is, as yet, no court set up

:13:42. > :13:43.to try their tormenters But the investigators are adamant,

:13:44. > :13:47.sooner or later, they say those who ordered this ongoing atrocity

:13:48. > :13:50.will be held to account. Eyewitness accounts from Syria

:13:51. > :13:58.suggest toxic chlorine gas may have been dropped on a town

:13:59. > :14:00.near to where a Russian military transport helicopter was shot down

:14:01. > :14:02.by rebels yesterday. Dozens of people, including women

:14:03. > :14:07.and children, are believed to have been affected, but there are

:14:08. > :14:09.no reported fatalities. More than 4,000 migrants have died

:14:10. > :14:17.across the world so far this year, according to new figures,

:14:21. > :14:25.for Migration says three-quarters lost their lives attempting

:14:26. > :14:28.to cross the Mediterranean. The bodies of 120 migrants have been

:24:44. > :24:45.Opening Ceremony on Friday. Common to other Games, the build-up

:24:46. > :24:49.to Rio 2016 has been fraught. There's been the ongoing doping

:24:50. > :24:51.crisis and questions over Brazil, though, is confident it

:24:52. > :24:58.will surprise the world. Wyre Davies is in Rio

:24:59. > :25:08.for us tonight. Wyre. Brazil is in the middle of

:25:09. > :25:13.this political and economic crisis and all those problems you mentioned

:25:14. > :25:16.will still be here after the athletes, journalists and visitors

:25:17. > :25:20.have gone. Brazilians and people here in Rio in particular insist

:25:21. > :25:25.they are ready for the Games. Brazilians love a party and they

:25:26. > :25:29.love their sport. Don't forget after the World Cup, this is the second

:25:30. > :25:31.time in two years that Brazil is preparing to put on a major,

:25:32. > :25:41.international sporting event. They were such a big part of making

:25:42. > :25:45.the London Olympics asuccess and will be equally as important

:25:46. > :25:48.here - 50,000 volunteers from across Brazil and across the world,

:25:49. > :25:50.including Suzanne from London, The atmosphere in

:25:51. > :25:53.London was incredible. The way it brought

:25:54. > :25:55.the whole people together. I think here it's going to be

:25:56. > :26:02.probably even better because I'm actually

:26:03. > :26:08.going to be within the stadium. For Rio locals, or Cariocas,

:26:09. > :26:12.it's a moment of pride. "It's my city, my country and I'm

:26:13. > :26:16.really excited", she says. The run-up to these Games has been

:26:17. > :26:20.dogged by concerns about water pollution, the Zika

:26:21. > :26:25.virus and security. Some athletes have been training

:26:26. > :26:27.here for months, others We're confident we've got

:26:28. > :26:34.the right measures in place. We talk to sailing and rowing

:26:35. > :26:37.on a regular basis. They feel comfortable

:26:38. > :26:40.with the situation so, hopefully, Rio has been transformed since it

:26:41. > :26:45.won the right to host the Olympics. New infrastructure given a face lift

:26:46. > :26:51.after years of decay. The city's Mayor told me it wouldn't

:26:52. > :26:54.have happened without the Games. The Olympics was never about,

:26:55. > :26:57.you know, let's solve So these are things that we face,

:26:58. > :27:01.challenges that we still face, and it's a challenge

:27:02. > :27:03.for us Brazilians. It's not about the Olympics,

:27:04. > :27:05.it's about us. The longest, probably most

:27:06. > :27:12.geographically diverse torch relay in Olympic history,

:27:13. > :27:14.was designed to get this huge Sport is in the blood here and some

:27:15. > :27:23.events will be more popular than others,

:27:24. > :27:25.but all attention is now on Rio, hoping these can be a truly

:27:26. > :27:28.memorable Olympics. Wyre Davies, BBC News,

:27:29. > :27:35.Rio. Beautiful beaches, wonderful

:27:36. > :27:36.scenery and a school where the class sizes are,

:27:37. > :27:40.well, very small. Now, the tiny Hebridean island

:27:41. > :27:43.of Muck is having trouble recruiting a teacher for its only class,

:27:44. > :27:46.in its only school. So parents are taking the matter

:27:47. > :27:49.into their own hands and have launched their own search

:27:50. > :27:52.for someone who can cope with the unique lifestyle that this

:27:53. > :27:58.Scottish island has to offer. Lorna Gordon reports now

:27:59. > :28:02.from the Isle of Muck. Meet David, Jasper, Daniel, Kitty,

:28:03. > :28:04.Willow, Tara and Hugh - almost the entire school

:28:05. > :28:09.roll on Muck. The new term starts in a fortnight

:28:10. > :28:19.and they still need a teacher, so their families have taken

:28:20. > :28:22.to social media to try to sell I want a teacher that knows

:28:23. > :28:26.how to garden. A teacher that knows

:28:27. > :28:28.how to, you know, teach Have like a fun, imaginative

:28:29. > :28:36.and happy teacher. Muck is the smallest of Scotland's

:28:37. > :28:39.small isles, its one road a little You won't find a classroom

:28:40. > :28:45.like this anywhere else. Idyllic in the summer sunshine,

:28:46. > :28:49.but in winter very different. The island can get cut off,

:28:50. > :28:52.sometimes for days, and the outgoing teacher says her replacement

:28:53. > :28:55.will have to come prepared. Some days there's, you know,

:28:56. > :28:58.a short distance from Some days we wouldn't try that,

:28:59. > :29:04.it would be too windy to risk taking So when we say, good waterproofs,

:29:05. > :29:12.we mean REALLY good waterproofs. The island's at the mercy

:29:13. > :29:25.of the weather and the Atlantic -

:29:26. > :29:32.letters, food supplies and the doctor all have

:29:33. > :29:34.to come by boat. There are other rural and remote

:29:35. > :29:36.communities in Scotland which from time to time also have

:29:37. > :29:38.problems recruiting a teacher and then getting

:29:39. > :29:40.them to stay long-term. While there can be challenges

:29:41. > :29:43.in a place like this, There's a very, very good

:29:44. > :29:56.strong sense of community and everybody wants to,

:29:57. > :29:58.you know, everybody The children will get supply

:29:59. > :30:05.teachers until a permanent They know here that island life

:30:06. > :30:13.is not for everyone, but there's already been interest

:30:14. > :30:19.from across the world They hope someone will fall in love

:30:20. > :30:25.with Muck and its school. Lorna Gordon, BBC News,

:30:31. > :30:35.of Chancellor Osborne's legacy? We ask if the May Government is out
