The new model, which will be rolled out in 2019, | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
will be built in Oxford, where workers welcomed the news. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
It's great for the business, and we are very thrilled that we are going | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
to be part of this huge success, hopefully. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
It means that there is no problem with the thoughts of them | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
closing it down because of Brexit, so it's very good news. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
We'll be asking how far BMW's decision reflects confidence | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
The parents of the terminally ill baby Charlie Gard plead | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
with a High Court judge to let him return home to die. | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
Staff shortages in the NHS - more than 86,000 posts were vacant | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
in the first three months of this year. | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
America's Attorney-General faces yet more public | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
I told you before, I'm very disappointed with the | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Attorney General. But we will see what happens. | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
And Britain's Adam Peaty breaks the 50 metres | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
breaststroke world record, becoming the first man ever | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, out through injury - | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
Greg Rutherford says he's gutted to missing out of next month's | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
The government has hailed BMW's decision to build | :01:33. | :02:00. | |
a fully electric version of the Mini in the UK as "a vote | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
BMW have confirmed the model will go into production in 2019, | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
with the parts manufactured abroad, before the car is assembled | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
BMW had previously expressed fears about the uncertainty | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Today it said it had "neither sought nor received" any reassurances | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
from the government on arrangements after Britain leaves the EU. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Here's our Transport Correspondent, Richard Westcott. | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
They make two thirds of the world's Minis here. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
To the relief of workers, we now know that the new electric | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
It's great for the business, and we're very thrilled | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
that we will be part of this huge success, hopefully. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
It means there is no problem with the thoughts of them closing it | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
down because of Brexit, so it is very good news. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
BMW, who make the Mini, had hinted for months that the work | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
This is a significant boost for the Cowley plant, which is the | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
But to put it into context, it doesn't mean | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
they are going to get a brand-new production line. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
It doesn't mean significant numbers of new jobs. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
The investment runs to tens of millions | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
of pounds, but BMW, earlier this year, has already announced plans | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
to invest ?180 million in a plant in Germany, | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
However, it's not just about money, it's about politics, too. | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
The car industry has been one of the UK's big manufacturing | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Keeping models in the UK is a boost to the | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
government as it tries to negotiate its Brexit deal. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
We are determined to make Britain the go-to place for the next | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
They've got a fantastic workforce in Oxford already, and that | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
combination of planning for the future has convinced | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
The UK car industry has been pushing hard for up Brexit deal that | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
Since the referendum vote, Nissan has promised to make two new models | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
Toyota is spending a quarter of a billion updating | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Still experts say the real test is yet to come. | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
I don't think this tells us very much about Brexit at all. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
This is an adaptation of an existing car. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
The big, big questions will be when BMW produces | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
like Vauxhall produce the next generation Astra. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
The decision, will they decide to invest and produce | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
in the UK, or will the uncertainty about the future of our | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
relationship with Europe put them off staying in the UK? | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
So, a good day for the UK car industry, | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
but the government is still under enormous pressure to cut a Brexit | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
deal that secures its long-term future. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Our Deputy Political Editor, John Pienaar, is in Westminster. | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
To what extent is this a vote of confidence in the UK | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Ministers are unnaturally keen this is seen as a vote of confidence in | :05:05. | :05:17. | |
Britain and Brexiteer is wanted to be seen as evidence that Britain has | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
nothing to fear as it heads towards the exit of the European Union. It | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
is not the only encouraging news. Amazon has said it is expanding its | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
UK operation. But there is discouragement and encouragement | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
wherever you look. EasyJet and Deutsche bank are two important | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
companies that have started to move investment to the continent of | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Europe as a safeguard against Brexit. For the rest of us, we have | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
learned that Britain will continue to be a major economic player during | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
and after Brexit. None of it will persuade those who have doubts that | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
Britain will come through this without taking a knock. Everything | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
depends on those negotiations. Ministers want and need free-flowing | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
trade between Britain and the continent. What business leaders and | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
European leaders want is certainty. Although there is plenty of | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
pessimism and optimism among politicians at Westminster, | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
certainty now and for the foreseeable future is a commodity | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
which is going to be in short supply. John Pienaar. | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
The parents of the terminally ill baby Charlie Gard are tonight | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
waiting to find out if they'll be able to take him home to die. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Having abandoned their fight to keep Charlie alive, | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
his mother Connie Yates returned to the High Court to | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
ask that her son leave Great Ormond Street Hospital. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
A judge will make the final decision tomorrow. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
Charlie's parents are now pleading for a doctor who can help | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
Our Medical Correspondent, Fergus Walsh, reports. | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
The legal battle over this desperately sick boy now centres on | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Charlie needs a mechanical ventilator to breathe. | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Yesterday, his parents gave up their fight to take him | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
to the United States, and agreed no more | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
But Charlie's mum, Connie, was back at court this | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
afternoon, to make it clear she did not want him to die | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
in the intensive care unit, where he's been since October. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
The parents' lawyer said it was their last wish that | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
for a few days of tranquillity outside the hospital setting. | :07:23. | :07:34. | |
Lawyers for the parents said they would pay private nurses | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
to take over his care, and seek to recover the costs from the NHS. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
But the court heard there were practical issues to | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
be resolved - for example, whether Charlie's ventilator would fit | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
In a statement, Great Ormond Street Hospital said it wanted to | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
honour the parents' wishes, but the care plan must be safe, | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
it must spare Charlie all pain and it must protect his dignity. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Charlie is a child who requires highly specialised treatment. | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
The dispute over where and how soon Charlie should | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
die typifies the utter breakdown in the relationship | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
between the parents and the hospital. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
The judge, Mr Justice Francis, said this was a matter | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Great Ormond Street said it offered that, but the parents have refused. | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
The judge said the parents were entitled to decide where they | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
spent the next few days, but it should not extend into weeks. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
That would be unacceptable, as it would simply extend | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
Charmian Evans lost her son, Guy, when he was five. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
He was profoundly disabled and tube fed. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
They've got to learn to let him go at all sorts of levels. | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
They've got to know that stuff happens and they mustn't be bitter | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
because it will eat them. There's no point in that. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
What they've got to do is look at all the positive things. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
The hospital has offered a compromise. | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Charlie can be transferred to a hospice, where | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
doctors from Great Ormond is the would supervise his | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
palliative care and death after a period of some hours. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
His parents said they want days, not hours, and a hospice is a | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Fergus Wallace, BBC News at the High Court. | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
The fate of the US Attorney-General appears to be hanging | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
in the balance, as President Trump today called him "weak", and said | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
he was disappointed in him, a day after saying | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
The president has criticised Jeff Sessions for intelligence leaks. | :09:50. | :10:02. | |
Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, is in Washington. | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
It is hardly the stuff from the human Resources handbook. Have the | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
boss publicly humiliate and undermine you repeatedly. That is | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
what is unfolding in Washington at the moment. Donald Trump's | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
catchphrase as the host of the apprentice was, you are fired. Over | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
the attorney general it seems hard to avoid begins reason that he wants | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
Jeff Sessions to fire himself. What is certainly clear it is hard to | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
believe this situation can carry on like this much longer. | :10:35. | :10:35. | |
Jeff Sessions, the man who presides over America's judicial system, | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
seemingly about to face rough justice from his boss and one-time | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
For the past two days, Donald Trump has taken potshots | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
at his top law enforcement officer via Twitter. | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
The President of the United States and the President of | :10:49. | :11:07. | |
the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Lebanon. | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
And the President heaped further ignominy on the Attorney-General | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
in a Rose Garden news conference this afternoon over Sessions' | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
decision to step aside from the Russian investigation. | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
I am disappointed in the Attorney-General. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
He should not have recused himself almost immediately | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
And if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
And I would have quite simply picked somebody else. | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
are you going to fire the Attorney-General? | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
I told you before, I'm very disappointed | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
with the Attorney-General, but we will see what happens. | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
Time will tell. Time will tell. | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
If Sessions does go over the whole Russia investigation, | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
then he will join the former FBI Director James Comey | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
sacked over this issue, and the former National Security | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired after lying about his | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
All of which begs the question, what happens next to Robert Mueller, | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
the special counsel called on to investigate the sprawling | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
If he goes, that is bound to lead to charges that the President | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
in the Senate the Democrats fired a warning shot. | :12:21. | :12:30. | |
Many Americans must be wondering if the president is trying to pry | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
open the office of Attorney-General to appoint someone during the August | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
recess who will fire special counsel Mueller and shutdown | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
Even if the President has disagreements with him, | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
which I think founded, self-centred and wrong, | :12:53. | :12:53. | |
you don't ridicule him in public. Someone who is your close friend. | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
Jeff Sessions was the first senator to endorse Donald Trump | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
during the campaign, giving his candidacy a massive boost | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
and has given the President unswerving loyalty ever since. | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
More than 86,000 NHS posts were vacant in England in the first | :13:18. | :13:29. | |
The latest figures show the number of vacancies were up by almost 8,000 | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
compared with the same period last year, with nursing | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
The Royal College of Nursing says patient care is suffering, | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
but the government insists it IS investing in front line staff. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Our Health correspondent, Dominic Hughes, reports. | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
Looking after people when they are at their most | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
vulnerable, providing compassionate and professional care | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
is the main challenge and biggest reward for Nurse Michelle Turner | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
at the Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital. | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
It is a tough job that carries enormous | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
It is a privilege to be a nurse, to be valued in the | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
To have people put their lives in your hands on a daily basis. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
And it is the biggest privilege that you can have. | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
But finding more nurses seems to be a problem, | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
according to a new analysis of the NHS jobs being advertised. | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
Around 86,000 NHS posts in England were recorded as vacant in the first | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
In March alone, more than 30,000 jobs were advertised, | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
4,000 more than the same period the previous year. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
The majority of those unfilled this March were nurses and midwives. | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Today's figures indicate that many Hospital trusts across England | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
are struggling not just to recruit staff, but to retain them as well. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
So hospitals are having to think about cleverer, smarter, | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
more flexible ways of using those staff they already have. | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
Growing patient demand has meant that, like many hospitals, | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
the Royal Blackburn has created extra nursing post. | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
But that doesn't make it any easier to recruit qualified | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
staff to fill those jobs, and that may be one factor driving | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
But that doesn't make it any easier to recruit qualified | :14:56. | :15:16. | |
staff to fill those jobs, and that may be one factor driving | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
We have had recruitment problems as a trust, | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
similar to most trusts across the country, to be fair. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
But we have had a significant drive on recruitment. | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
We have open recruitment days, we have been out internationally to | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
The data for England reflects similar problems across the UK. | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
But experts warn recruitment is a long-term issue with no simple | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
It's difficult because of the time it takes | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
It's hard to predict how many you will need in five or ten | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
years' time, or how policy will change. | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
We have mitigated the risk in the past by getting staff from | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
overseas, particularly from the European Union. | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
We also have issues around morale and retention. | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
The Department of Health in England says staffing is a priority, but | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
more money being invested in front-line positions. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Collating job adverts may, in fact, underestimate the real level of | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
staff shortages. One ad may be for several posts. | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
But it does highlight the ongoing problems the NHS faces | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
with staff recruitment and retention. | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
House builders could be banned from selling leaseholds | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
Leaseholds are on the increase - and they can lead to exorbitant | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
and unexpected costs for the homeowner. | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
The government has called the practice unjust and unnecessary. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
We all know that Britain needs more homes. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
But the terms and conditions attached to some new-build houses | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
in England are causing a great deal of distress. | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
Traditionally, houses have nearly always been sold | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
as freehold properties, meaning the buyer owns the building | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
However, there has been a growing trend to sell houses as leasehold, | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
meaning the buyer doesn't actually own the land. | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
In some cases, the freeholds are sold on to investment companies, | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
Today's report found one owner believed they would be able to buy | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
the freehold in the future for ?2000. | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
But the final bill was 20 times that. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
The leaseholder also has to pay ground rent to the freeholder. | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Traditionally, a small amount - but that figure is now rising. | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
Claire Scott bought her house in Bolton four years ago. | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
But when she recently tried to sell it, the buyers backed out | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
when they saw a clause in the contract saying the ground | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
By 2060, it will cost nearly ?10,000 a year. | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
The past 12 months have been an absolute nightmare for us. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
We didn't realise we had an issue with the house until we came to sell | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
it and then the house sale fell through. | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
That meant that we now have to rent out the house and we can't get | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
That's causing us a lot of financial distress. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
This development on the outskirts of Manchester is all new-build, | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
It is a way for developers to make more money. | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
But some people say there's no place for leasehold | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
What we're talking about here are houses that are being sold | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
on leasehold, thousands of them, for no good reason, and then once | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
they are sold the people that have purchased them are exposed to these | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
Enough is enough and we are taking action. | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
Critics say the Government has known about and ignored | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
And this consultation doesn't definitely mean things will change. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Pressure groups say the situation is a scandal. | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
It's not only the people who thought they were buying a home, | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
many of these people were assisted by the Help To Buy Scheme. | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
This means we have been underwriting their mortgages by 20% | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
to get first-time buyers onto the property ladder. | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
The builders have taken us all for a ride and they've got | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
House-builders say leasehold does work for some developments, | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
and they are committed to being fair. | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
But the Government now wants to ban leasehold contracts for newly | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
There have been heated exchanges this evening, | :19:17. | :19:26. | |
as survivors of the Grenfell Tower disaster met with the judge leading | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick was told that residents have no confidence | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Tom Symonds, is in West London, | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
It was another fractious meeting. Tell us more about what was said. As | :19:44. | :19:53. | |
this meeting went on, the chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick was face it | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
with growing levels of anger from people who live in this area and had | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
come to hear what he was saying. Some said to him, we have no | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
confidence in you, you don't look like as. Others said, you're very | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
presence here is an affront. He said he would be independent and get to | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
the bottom of the grand for fire tragedy. Richard Miller QC said Tom | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
I'm proud to live in a country which is set up an independent enquiry of | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
pretty dull people but determined to root out the truth. The chairman | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
rejected suggestions he could order the arrests of guilty people and | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
said he had no power to do that. That was the job of the police who | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
investigate criminality but his job was to find facts. His job is to | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
come up with recommendations for the Prime Minister about the scope of | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
this enquiry. She will make the final decision and that decision is | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
expected next month. Tom, thank you. UK animal welfare standards could be | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
under threat after Brexit if farmers are left to compete against cheaper, | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
less regulated rivals That's according to a House of Lords | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
committee which says the government must insist on similar standards | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
in any new trade agreements to avoid Here's our Science | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Editor David Shukman. VOICEOVER: Chicken and turkey | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
are an all-American favourite. A hard sell from the | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
American food industry. With industrial scale | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
farms and fewer rules about caring for animals, | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
costs are far lower than here. And a House of Lords committee | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
worries about the impact Welfare standards are nothing | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
like the leading globally ones we have here in United Kingdom | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
so British farmers can be undercut. If that happens then | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
we could potentially see family farms going out of business, | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
the whole countryside changing. At the moment, the welfare | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
of British animals is largely Ministers keep saying | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
they won't water those down, but along with welfare come other | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
questions about the future For example, the way American | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
chickens are processed The use of food grain | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
antimicrobial rinses... In particular the way the carcasses | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
are rinsed in chlorine. This is now a kind of political | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
football in the debate So what are the facts | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
about chickens and chlorine? Well, in Europe, the approach | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
to food hygiene is called Farm to Fork, keeping chickens as clean | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
as possible through every stage. By contrast, in America, | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
farmers are allowed a lower standard of hygiene while the chickens | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
are alive because when they are killed they are immersed in that | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
chlorinem a bit stronger than you'd killed they are immersed in that | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
chlorine a bit stronger than you'd find in a swimming pool | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
to kill any bacteria. Now the European Food Standards | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
Agency concluded that there is no Even so, chickens washed in chlorine | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
are banned by the EU so what next? Well, tonight the International | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Trade Secretary in Washington denied There's no food safety issue | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
with chlorine-washed goods because the European Union | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
themselves say that I think more of an issue would be | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
around the animal welfare issues that that might suggest | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
and of course we've got no intention of reducing the quality | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
and standards of our regulation. So with a new trade deal | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
in prospect, what do At the New Forest Show in Hampshire, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
we asked if people wanted cheaper prices of the kind American | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
farmers might offer? Or would they prefer better | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
welfare for animals? A combination of both. | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Welfare. Animals. | :23:32. | :23:32. | |
A combination of both. No, it isn't, not at all. | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
Animal welfare, definitely. This is a nation of animal lovers, | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
but it's also a time of pressure on people's incomes and the prospect | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
of cheaper food from beyond Europe In Syria, US-backed Kurdish forces | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
are now thought to have gained control of nearly half the city | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
of Raqqa, the last remaining stronghold | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
of so-called Islamic State. The offensive has led | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
thousands to flee the city, including some families | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
of IS militants. The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil has spoken | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
to one of the IS wives who has just fled the city and who's now | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
being held on its outskirts. They came from different parts | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
of the world with one aim - to join the self-proclaimed | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
caliphate. Now they've escaped | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
and are being held by the Kurdish Iman and her husband left Tunisia | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
for Raqqa, the so-called She says she wanted to live | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
a proper Islamic life. I had many questions and I managed | :24:39. | :24:58. | |
to send them to her. Iman, I'm just wondering | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
if you saw other videos, videos of beheadings, | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
of them burning people alive? How did you think | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
that was proper Islam? But she says when they arrived it | :25:10. | :25:43. | |
wasn't what they expected. Iman's husband is now in | :25:44. | :26:01. | |
a Kurdish-run prison outside Raqqa. It's hard to determine | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
whether the women who At some point they were all part | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
of the so-called Islamic State. Now she's hoping he'll grow up | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
as far away from the Islamic State Do you think they'll take you back | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
easily and how do you expect them to believe you or forgive | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
you when you've been part These children know nothing but life | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
under the Islamic State. For now they and their mothers | :26:27. | :26:51. | |
are stuck between a caliphate they fled and homelands that may not | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
want them back. Britain's Adam Peaty has had | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
an extraordinary day at the swimming At 22, he had already accomplished | :27:00. | :27:07. | |
the feat of swimming the ten fastest times ever | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
in the 100 metres breaststroke. And today he smashed his | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
own record, not once Here's our Sports | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
Correspondent Joe Wilson. COMMENTATOR: This is | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
perfect from Peaty. There are things he does which might | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
make you doubt that. Tuesday morning he woke up, | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
went to the pool in Budapest for a heat in the 50 | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
metres breast stroke. Well he hadn't really | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
meant to do that. I wanted it but I don't know | :27:38. | :27:45. | |
if I wanted it in the heats, but you can't pick and choose | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
but I'm so grateful to obviously be in front of that crowd and hopefully | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
again tonight we'll push it Peaty in lane four, already | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
the world 100 metres champion. Victories come so frequently for him | :27:55. | :28:12. | |
he needs records to motivate him. Swimming 50 metres in a pool | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
is something a lot of people try. How quickly do you think | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
it's possible to do it? Well Peaty was travelling at a pace | :28:19. | :28:20. | |
even the most experienced observers This is the 50 metres breast | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
stroke and look at this. I never thought I would live to see | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
the day when a breast stroke swimmer Coming out there tonight, | :28:29. | :28:37. | |
I was a bit down because it's been I was like, right, get yourself up | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
for it and do what I do and I'm not going to waste a day, | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
I'm not going to waste an opportunity because I don't know | :28:48. | :28:50. | |
when it's going to be my last. I just went out there | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
tonight and did what I do. Well, Peaty is only 22 so let's | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
expect more opportunities, Even by Peaty's standards, | :28:57. | :28:58. | |
that's special. It's 50 years this week | :28:59. | :29:05. | |
since the laws on homosexuality Our Special Correspondent | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
Allan Little has been looking at what the changes | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
to the Sexual Offences Act meant in 1967 and how they affected people | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
in the years that followed. In 1967 a change in the law did not | :29:20. | :29:26. | |
bring a change in attitudes. This is the BBC's | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
Man Alive programme. VOICEOVER: For many of | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
us this is revolting. Homosexuals in this country | :29:36. | :29:37. | |
today break the law. These two have lived | :29:38. | :29:43. | |
together for 26 years. They might almost be a married | :29:44. | :29:46. | |
couple but they are still I couldn't believe just | :29:47. | :29:48. | |
because I wanted somebody to love me and to have friendship I had | :29:49. | :29:57. | |
to suffer all this. They put me in a cell | :29:58. | :30:00. | |
and I was in a cell from Saturday This is a celebration to mark | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
the anniversary of the Act, hosted by an LGBT group for the over | :30:05. | :30:24. | |
50s called Opening Doors. Some here were sexually active when | :30:25. | :30:31. | |
it was still a criminal offence. Well, it's like living | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
in an alien society, I had to just make out | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
a false lifestyle really. It is like being non-existent, | :30:41. | :30:48. | |
you know, like you just weren't The Act did not apply to Scotland | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
or Northern Ireland and even in England and Wales it | :30:53. | :30:59. | |
did not end prosecution. Right into the 1990s, | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
police used the gross indecency laws to continue to criminalise gay | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
behaviour and social activity. VOICEOVER: It is a deadly disease | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
and there is no known cure. In the '80s, HIV and Aids brought | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
a new atmosphere of moral panic. By the end of the decade, | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
the number of gross indecency prosecutions against gay men | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
was as high as it had Many many lead | :31:24. | :31:25. | |
completely double lives. The writer Maureen Duffy | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
who campaigned for the 1977 Act The writer Maureen Duffy | :31:31. | :31:37. | |
who campaigned for the 1967 Act says it was not a moment | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
of sudden liberation. But never assume that what you have | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
achieved you have got for good and it cannot be reversed | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
because at any time, And there are sometimes still some | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
very nasty rumblings and utterances, partially stoked by the use | :31:51. | :32:05. | |
of social media, that could turn very nasty indeed | :32:06. | :32:11. | |
if we're not vigilant. In July 1967, the Home Secretary Roy | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
Jenkins told Parliament that homosexuality was a disability that | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
brought lifelong shame. It has taken generations of | :32:21. | :32:30. | |
vigilance to get from there to this. That's all from the BBC News at Ten | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :32:35. | :32:44. | |
