:06:01. > :06:24.The girl in question is from the north-west of England

:06:37. > :06:39.The solicitor representing the interests of the 17-year-old,

:06:42. > :06:44.X is a girl who at the moment has a determined wish,
:06:45. > :06:53.The big problem we've got is that we don't fully
:06:54. > :06:56.understand those needs, and it's on that basis that she needs
:06:57. > :06:59.to be in a clinical setting to be assessed properly.
:07:00. > :07:03.That's part of the frustration of the case.
:07:04. > :07:33.That frustration spilled into public from the judge today.
:07:34. > :07:36.The Government offered no comment on the judge's remarks.
:07:37. > :07:40.All questions were referred to NHS England, which said tonight that
:07:41. > :07:44.three potential beds have now been identified for the 17-year-old,
:07:45. > :07:46.with a care assessment being conducted tomorrow.
:07:47. > :07:53.But mental health professionals say the problem is not an isolated one.
:07:54. > :07:56.Every day we talk to children, young people, parents and carers
:07:57. > :07:58.who are in the community, worried about how they're
:07:59. > :08:02.There isn't enough support in the community, and there
:08:03. > :08:05.are really high thresholds to get into hospital care.
:08:06. > :08:09.Meanwhile, people are left without support.
:08:10. > :08:12.A recent survey of people working in child and adolescent mental

:08:35. > :08:36.The report urged Government to prioritise investment in young

:08:40. > :08:42.The system for people with those sorts of needs is simply
:08:43. > :08:50.The nationally commissioned services don't join up with locally
:08:51. > :08:53.commission services, there is no strategic oversight
:08:54. > :08:57.and as far as I can see, and I've been trying to push this
:08:58. > :08:59.at various levels for a number of years, there doesn't seem
:09:00. > :09:02.to be any strategic plan to resolve the matter.
:09:03. > :09:04.The Government has said it will increase the number of mental
:09:05. > :09:07.health staff working in the NHS in England by 21,000
:09:08. > :09:11.and the Prime Minister has promised a revolution in mental health care,
:09:12. > :09:19.but the agonies of a judge unable to help a suicidal young woman
:09:20. > :09:25.suggest the revolution has some way to go.
:09:26. > :09:31.These are some of the most candid and toughest words many have heard a
:09:32. > :09:35.judge at. What do you think his motivation for such stark language
:09:36. > :09:40.is? I think his immediate motivation was the welfare of a very troubled
:09:41. > :09:44.17-year-old girl who will be released into the community in 11
:09:45. > :09:50.days' time without, as it stands, a care package for her. And in that,
:09:51. > :09:56.perhaps, he appears to be successful after months of frustration. Within
:09:57. > :10:00.hours of his statement and the news stories associated with it, the NHS
:10:01. > :10:04.said, we have now found three potential beds. One must hope that
:10:05. > :10:08.that works out. But the judge also demanded that his remarks also be
:10:09. > :10:11.sent to government ministers, to the Ministry of Justice and the
:10:12. > :10:15.Department of Health, because he is determined that this lack of proper
:10:16. > :10:19.provision of mental health services, as he sees it, should not be
:10:20. > :10:24.forgotten. The government is already promising specifically on child and
:10:25. > :10:28.adolescent mental health care 2000 nurses, consultants and therapists,
:10:29. > :10:32.and that is part of a wider ?1 billion package for mental health
:10:33. > :10:35.services. But none of this can of course be done overnight.
:10:36. > :10:40.Recruitment and training will take time and meanwhile, many families
:10:41. > :10:45.will be just as frustrated as Sir James at the failings of a system

:13:55. > :13:56.as part of his investigation. Our North America Editor Jon Sopel
:13:57. > :14:09.is in Washington for us tonight. How significant is all this? It is
:14:10. > :14:13.significant, but let me add a couple of caveats. It doesn't mean that
:14:14. > :14:17.prosecutions are imminent. It doesn't mean there will ever be a
:14:18. > :14:21.prosecution, but that can't be prosecutions without the setting up
:14:22. > :14:25.of a grand jury. What it means is that they will now be able to take
:14:26. > :14:29.sworn statements from witnesses. They will be able to subpoenaed
:14:30. > :14:34.documents. So if you like, this is the logical next step in this
:14:35. > :14:38.investigation. But it also means, if you ask the simple question, is this
:14:39. > :14:43.inquiry winding down or is it ramping up, there was only one
:14:44. > :14:46.conclusion. It is ramping up. There has been a conciliatory statement

:15:00. > :15:02.Mueller's investigation. But my guess is that Donald Trump will be
:15:03. > :15:05.spitting tacks about this, firstly because he believes it is a
:15:06. > :15:10.witchhunt, secondly because he believes it could go on for months,

:19:59. > :20:00.The UK Government can't guarantee tariff free trade,

:20:06. > :20:10.As part of this new arrangement in a post-EU world,
:20:11. > :20:13.where we are negotiating the terms, we're not bound in by EU terms,

:20:38. > :20:40.Once we leave the EU, we would be the UK negotiating free-trade deals,
:20:41. > :20:42.rather than a block, and so that simplifies
:20:43. > :20:47.So yes, we hope that it will be easier for the UK to negotiate
:20:48. > :20:54.a free trade deal with, for example, India.
:20:55. > :20:57.The economy of Islay runs on whisky, much of Scotland's economy relies

:21:05. > :21:13.The worldwide Anglican communion counts many more worshippers
:21:14. > :21:19.And while there are disagreements over homosexuality, the Archbishop
:21:20. > :21:24.of Canterbury has been trying to find some common ground
:21:25. > :21:30.on the refugee crisis in South Sudan, with one of the most

:21:37. > :21:40.Above the lush plains of Uganda, two archbishops are on a mission,
:21:41. > :21:46.heading north toward refugee camps on the border with South Sudan.
:21:47. > :21:49.The welcome they receive in Moyo is rapturous.
:21:50. > :22:08.There are nearly a million South Sudanese living in camps
:22:09. > :22:11.like this, after fleeing a brutal civil war, with many families
:22:12. > :22:15.rushing to the border carrying only their children.
:22:16. > :22:19.While the archbishops are of one mind in their support for these
:22:20. > :22:27.refugees, there is another issue about which they are deeply divided,
:22:28. > :22:29.and it concerns not one country in one continent,
:22:30. > :22:33.but the entire unity of the Anglican Communion.
:22:34. > :22:38.Your Grace, shouldn't you be in the middle?
:22:39. > :22:43.Stanley Ntagali, a conservative evangelical, walked out of a global
:22:44. > :22:46.gathering of archbishops last year after the American Episcopal Church
:22:47. > :22:52.He says the Bible teaches that marriage is between a man
:22:53. > :22:55.and a woman, and that the growing Ugandan church will not remain
:22:56. > :23:02.in fellowship with those who support same-sex unions.
:23:03. > :23:04.You have been invited to the Primates' meeting in October.
:23:05. > :23:11.I have made it clear I am not attending because of the position
:23:12. > :23:14.And that is that homosexuality is wrong?
:23:15. > :23:16.I thought you wanted to ask about the refugees,
:23:17. > :23:19.but now you are concentrating on that subject.
:23:20. > :23:25.Stanley Ntagali says he remains committed to the Anglican Communion
:23:26. > :23:29.and will not be pulling the Ugandan church out.
:23:30. > :23:36.Although we have differences of opinion over issues
:23:37. > :23:40.around human sexuality, when we were dealing with refugees,
:23:41. > :23:50.Archbishop Justin Welby concluded his visit by praying
:23:51. > :23:54.for peace and reconciliation in South Sudan, a prayer

:24:45. > :24:57.Final preparations at London's Olympic Stadium,
:24:58. > :24:59.as it becomes the focus of the athletics world once again.

:25:02. > :25:03.World Championships telling me the sport should
:25:04. > :25:09.It's a huge city, passionate about sport, the world's
:25:10. > :25:15.greatest athletics stadium, and it's going to be full.
:25:16. > :25:17.Possibly going forwards, you need to see slight
:25:18. > :25:20.changes to the format, the compression of the Championships.
:25:21. > :25:21.So, this could be the last great, great,
:25:22. > :25:29.Once again, the world's finest athletes will be on show here -

:25:32. > :25:33.Wayde van Niekerk smashed the 400m world record at last
:25:34. > :25:38.A man in demand, we managed to spend some time with the South African
:25:39. > :25:40.as he took a cab ride through London.
:25:41. > :25:43.So, is he ready to fill the void left by Usain Bolt?
:25:44. > :25:46.I definitely believe that I can reach the heights
:25:47. > :25:51.I mean, I'm only 25 now, so I still have a lot of time left.
:25:52. > :25:53.Confident words from a young man who admits he has
:25:54. > :25:58.I've had a lot of mental challenges when it comes to confidence and...
:25:59. > :26:02.And believing myself, in myself, as an athlete.
:26:03. > :26:08.So, this last two years has been a massive, massive boost to myself.
:26:09. > :26:14.These Championships will, of course, evoke memories of London 2012,
:26:15. > :26:17.which for many at the time seemed like the ultimate
:26:18. > :26:22.But since then, the sport has been engulfed in crisis and,
:26:23. > :26:26.as it prepares to say farewell to its biggest star,
:26:27. > :26:31.there is a real sense that if integrity and popularity is to
:26:32. > :26:32.be recovered, this represents an opportunity which
:26:33. > :26:37.There was no Russian team preparing here this afternoon -
:26:38. > :26:38.the country suspended for state-sponsored doping.
:26:39. > :26:42.And tonight, two Ukrainian athletes were provisionally suspended
:26:43. > :26:45.from the Championships for the use of prohibited substances -
:26:46. > :26:47.a reminder of the challenge the sport now faces.
:26:48. > :26:52.Often you'll get a rotten apple in a barrel.
:26:53. > :26:55.What you have to try to do is change the culture,
:26:56. > :26:58.so that people who are competing are not tempted
:26:59. > :27:04.That doesn't take five minutes - it takes some years.
:27:05. > :27:07.The enthusiasm which surrounded the 2012 Olympics appears undimmed,
:27:08. > :27:09.with record ticket sales for a World Championship.
:27:10. > :27:11.But at a crucial moment in athletics history,

:27:41. > :27:47.England fans may be feeling a little outnumbered here in Enschede today,
:27:48. > :27:50.These semifinalists were a perfect match, because the only two teams
:27:51. > :27:53.to have won all their games, something had to give.
:27:54. > :27:56.And early on it was those in orange who shone brightest.
:27:57. > :27:58.Miedema heading them in the direction of the final.
:27:59. > :28:02.With England behind for the first time in this tournament,
:28:03. > :28:04.Jade Moore almost mustered the perfect response.
:28:05. > :28:09.And as half-time approached, Ellen White had a strong
:28:10. > :28:11.claim for a penalty, but the referee thought
:28:12. > :28:13.differently, much to the frustration of Mark Sampson.
:28:14. > :28:16.For a team that has captured the imagination back home,
:28:17. > :28:21.What was needed in such a cauldron was a cool head,
:28:22. > :28:23.but Fara Williams usually so reliable, did nothing
:28:24. > :28:26.Double delight for the Dutch, and England only had
:28:27. > :28:36.With time running out, Jody Taylor nearly gave her side hope, but it
:28:37. > :28:42.would get worse for England. An own goal with the last kick of the game
:28:43. > :28:45.the Millie Bright summed up the miserable night for Mark Sampson's
:28:46. > :28:49.side. Overwhelmed in the stands,
:28:50. > :28:52.overwhelmed on the pitch. Against expectations, it's the Netherlands
:28:53. > :29:01.who advanced to the final, England are back to square one.
:29:02. > :29:05.This was a dark and disappointing night for England. Rankin,
:29:06. > :29:10.reputation or flavoured Mark Sampson's side coming into this, but
:29:11. > :29:13.although they made progress on how they've played and reached the
:29:14. > :29:17.semifinal they were woefully ineffective against the Netherlands,
:29:18. > :29:21.who fully deserve to go through to the final against an narked.
:29:22. > :29:23.Although Mark Sampson's players may struggle to find the positives
:29:24. > :29:28.tonight, this tournament and the profile it's been given will have
:29:29. > :29:31.boosted the women's game back home, even if they weren't able to take

:29:41. > :29:44.His family have described him as "gruff, elegant, twinkly
:29:45. > :29:46.and always dignified, and celebrated by those
:29:47. > :29:49.who knew him, loved him and enjoyed his work."
:29:50. > :29:54.David Sillito now looks back on his life.
:29:55. > :29:57.It was All Creatures Great And Small that truly made Robert

:30:01. > :30:07.Well, I hold you responsible for Biggins, James.
:30:08. > :30:08.The character mirrored his own personality,
:30:09. > :30:11.which was described today by his family today as a bit gruff,
:30:12. > :30:18.And it was a role that needed a bit of grit.
:30:19. > :30:23.I remember a day when we did a lambing sequence all
:30:24. > :30:27.through the night, in the dead ice-cold of winter, deep

:30:43. > :30:45.Often, I don't know who does publish, I confess.
:30:46. > :30:55.His early career was rather Shakespearean.
:30:56. > :30:57.He revelled in the grand patriotic speech and will
:30:58. > :31:01.forever be linked with one particular patriotic character.
:31:02. > :31:04.Mr Speaker, those Germans are not looking for equal status!
:31:05. > :31:13.Now, they will soon be looking for war.
:31:14. > :31:21.And when the Harry Potter films needed a pompous Minister for Magic,
:31:22. > :31:25.it was a part that could have been written for Robert Hardy.
:31:26. > :31:31.You will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban.
:31:32. > :31:33.Or am I talking the most absolute nonsense?
:31:34. > :31:35.Like Siegfried, it was what he was best at -
:31:36. > :31:40.characters full of bluster and grand gestures that were trying
:31:41. > :31:45.desperately hard to hide the softer, more vulnerable person within.
:31:46. > :31:59.But we do understand each other, wouldn't you say?
:32:00. > :32:04.The actor Robert Hardy, who's died at the age of 91.
