:20:46. > :20:49.expected next month. Tom, thank you. UK animal welfare standards could be
:20:50. > :20:52.under threat after Brexit if farmers are left to compete against cheaper,
:20:53. > :20:54.less regulated rivals That's according to a House of Lords
:20:55. > :21:00.committee which says the government must insist on similar standards
:21:01. > :21:04.in any new trade agreements to avoid Here's our Science
:21:05. > :21:10.Editor David Shukman. VOICEOVER: Chicken and turkey
:21:11. > :21:13.are an all-American favourite. A hard sell from the
:21:14. > :21:16.American food industry. With industrial scale
:21:17. > :21:19.farms and fewer rules about caring for animals,
:21:20. > :21:24.costs are far lower than here. And a House of Lords committee
:21:25. > :21:26.worries about the impact Welfare standards are nothing
:21:27. > :21:34.like the leading globally ones we have here in United Kingdom
:21:35. > :21:37.so British farmers can be undercut. If that happens then
:21:38. > :21:39.we could potentially see family farms going out of business,
:21:40. > :21:45.the whole countryside changing. At the moment, the welfare
:21:46. > :21:47.of British animals is largely Ministers keep saying
:21:48. > :21:52.they won't water those down, but along with welfare come other
:21:53. > :21:56.questions about the future For example, the way American
:21:57. > :22:02.chickens are processed The use of food grain
:22:03. > :22:07.antimicrobial rinses... In particular the way the carcasses
:22:08. > :22:11.are rinsed in chlorine. This is now a kind of political
:22:12. > :22:13.football in the debate So what are the facts
:22:14. > :22:19.about chickens and chlorine? Well, in Europe, the approach
:22:20. > :22:21.to food hygiene is called Farm to Fork, keeping chickens as clean
:22:22. > :22:26.as possible through every stage. By contrast, in America,
:22:27. > :22:30.farmers are allowed a lower standard of hygiene while the chickens
:22:31. > :22:34.are alive because when they are killed they are immersed in that
:22:35. > :22:39.chlorinem a bit stronger than you'd killed they are immersed in that
:22:40. > :22:42.chlorine a bit stronger than you'd find in a swimming pool
:22:43. > :22:52.to kill any bacteria. Now the European Food Standards
:22:53. > :22:55.Agency concluded that there is no Even so, chickens washed in chlorine
:22:56. > :22:59.are banned by the EU so what next? Well, tonight the International
:23:00. > :23:01.Trade Secretary in Washington denied There's no food safety issue
:23:02. > :23:05.with chlorine-washed goods because the European Union
:23:06. > :23:07.themselves say that I think more of an issue would be
:23:08. > :23:11.around the animal welfare issues that that might suggest
:23:12. > :23:13.and of course we've got no intention of reducing the quality
:23:14. > :23:16.and standards of our regulation. So with a new trade deal
:23:17. > :23:18.in prospect, what do At the New Forest Show in Hampshire,
:23:19. > :23:23.we asked if people wanted cheaper prices of the kind American
:23:24. > :23:27.farmers might offer? Or would they prefer better
:23:28. > :23:31.welfare for animals? A combination of both.
:23:32. > :23:32.Welfare. Animals.
:23:33. > :23:35.A combination of both. No, it isn't, not at all.
:23:36. > :23:45.Animal welfare, definitely. This is a nation of animal lovers,
:23:46. > :23:48.but it's also a time of pressure on people's incomes and the prospect
:23:49. > :23:51.of cheaper food from beyond Europe In Syria, US-backed Kurdish forces
:23:52. > :24:00.are now thought to have gained control of nearly half the city
:24:01. > :24:04.of Raqqa, the last remaining stronghold
:24:05. > :24:06.of so-called Islamic State. The offensive has led
:24:07. > :24:09.thousands to flee the city, including some families
:24:10. > :24:12.of IS militants. The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil has spoken
:24:13. > :24:16.to one of the IS wives who has just fled the city and who's now
:24:17. > :24:21.being held on its outskirts. They came from different parts
:24:22. > :24:24.of the world with one aim - to join the self-proclaimed
:24:25. > :24:27.caliphate. Now they've escaped
:24:28. > :24:30.and are being held by the Kurdish Iman and her husband left Tunisia
:24:31. > :24:38.for Raqqa, the so-called She says she wanted to live
:24:39. > :24:58.a proper Islamic life. I had many questions and I managed
:24:59. > :25:02.to send them to her. Iman, I'm just wondering
:25:03. > :25:04.if you saw other videos, videos of beheadings,
:25:05. > :25:09.of them burning people alive? How did you think
:25:10. > :25:43.that was proper Islam? But she says when they arrived it
:25:44. > :26:01.wasn't what they expected. Iman's husband is now in
:26:02. > :26:04.a Kurdish-run prison outside Raqqa. It's hard to determine

:26:12. > :26:19.as far away from the Islamic State Do you think they'll take you back
:26:20. > :26:24.easily and how do you expect them to believe you or forgive
:26:25. > :26:26.you when you've been part These children know nothing but life

:27:00. > :27:07.an extraordinary day at the swimming At 22, he had already accomplished
:27:08. > :27:12.the feat of swimming the ten fastest times ever
:27:13. > :27:15.in the 100 metres breaststroke. And today he smashed his
:27:16. > :27:17.own record, not once Here's our Sports
:27:18. > :27:24.Correspondent Joe Wilson. COMMENTATOR: This is
:27:25. > :27:26.perfect from Peaty. There are things he does which might
:27:27. > :27:30.make you doubt that. Tuesday morning he woke up,
:27:31. > :27:34.went to the pool in Budapest for a heat in the 50
:27:35. > :27:37.metres breast stroke. Well he hadn't really
:27:38. > :27:45.meant to do that. I wanted it but I don't know
:27:46. > :27:48.if I wanted it in the heats, but you can't pick and choose
:27:49. > :27:51.but I'm so grateful to obviously be in front of that crowd and hopefully
:27:52. > :27:54.again tonight we'll push it Peaty in lane four, already
:27:55. > :28:12.the world 100 metres champion. Victories come so frequently for him
:28:13. > :28:15.he needs records to motivate him. Swimming 50 metres in a pool
:28:16. > :28:18.is something a lot of people try. How quickly do you think
:28:19. > :28:20.it's possible to do it? Well Peaty was travelling at a pace
:28:21. > :28:23.even the most experienced observers This is the 50 metres breast
:28:24. > :28:28.stroke and look at this. I never thought I would live to see
:28:29. > :28:37.the day when a breast stroke swimmer Coming out there tonight,
:28:38. > :28:42.I was a bit down because it's been I was like, right, get yourself up
:28:43. > :28:47.for it and do what I do and I'm not going to waste a day,
:28:48. > :28:50.I'm not going to waste an opportunity because I don't know
:28:51. > :28:53.when it's going to be my last. I just went out there
:28:54. > :28:56.tonight and did what I do. Well, Peaty is only 22 so let's
:28:57. > :28:58.expect more opportunities, Even by Peaty's standards,
:28:59. > :29:05.that's special. It's 50 years this week
:29:06. > :29:12.since the laws on homosexuality Our Special Correspondent
:29:13. > :29:16.Allan Little has been looking at what the changes
:29:17. > :29:19.to the Sexual Offences Act meant in 1967 and how they affected people
:29:20. > :29:26.in the years that followed. In 1967 a change in the law did not
:29:27. > :29:31.bring a change in attitudes. This is the BBC's
:29:32. > :29:35.Man Alive programme. VOICEOVER: For many of
:29:36. > :29:37.us this is revolting. Homosexuals in this country
:29:38. > :29:43.today break the law. These two have lived
:29:44. > :29:46.together for 26 years. They might almost be a married
:29:47. > :29:48.couple but they are still I couldn't believe just
:29:49. > :29:57.because I wanted somebody to love me and to have friendship I had
:29:58. > :30:00.to suffer all this. They put me in a cell
:30:01. > :30:04.and I was in a cell from Saturday This is a celebration to mark
:30:05. > :30:24.the anniversary of the Act, hosted by an LGBT group for the over
:30:25. > :30:31.50s called Opening Doors. Some here were sexually active when
:30:32. > :30:36.it was still a criminal offence. Well, it's like living
:30:37. > :30:40.in an alien society, I had to just make out
:30:41. > :30:48.a false lifestyle really. It is like being non-existent,
:30:49. > :30:52.you know, like you just weren't The Act did not apply to Scotland
:30:53. > :30:59.or Northern Ireland and even in England and Wales it
:31:00. > :31:03.did not end prosecution. Right into the 1990s,
:31:04. > :31:06.police used the gross indecency laws to continue to criminalise gay
:31:07. > :31:12.behaviour and social activity. VOICEOVER: It is a deadly disease
:31:13. > :31:15.and there is no known cure. In the '80s, HIV and Aids brought
:31:16. > :31:20.a new atmosphere of moral panic. By the end of the decade,
:31:21. > :31:23.the number of gross indecency prosecutions against gay men
:31:24. > :31:25.was as high as it had Many many lead
:31:26. > :31:30.completely double lives. The writer Maureen Duffy

:31:38. > :31:40.who campaigned for the 1967 Act says it was not a moment
:31:41. > :31:42.of sudden liberation. But never assume that what you have
:31:43. > :31:47.achieved you have got for good and it cannot be reversed
:31:48. > :31:50.because at any time, And there are sometimes still some
:31:51. > :32:05.very nasty rumblings and utterances, partially stoked by the use
:32:06. > :32:11.of social media, that could turn very nasty indeed
:32:12. > :32:17.if we're not vigilant. In July 1967, the Home Secretary Roy
:32:18. > :32:20.Jenkins told Parliament that homosexuality was a disability that
:32:21. > :32:30.brought lifelong shame. It has taken generations of
:32:31. > :32:34.vigilance to get from there to this. That's all from the BBC News at Ten
