0:00:20 > 0:00:22She'd been summoned back from a government trip abroad
0:00:22 > 0:00:24to Number 10 to explain herself.
0:00:24 > 0:00:33The foreign secretary paid tribute to her.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34It's
0:00:34 > 0:00:37been a real pleasure working with her, and I'm sure she's got
0:00:37 > 0:00:38a great future ahead of her.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Tonight Labour called on the prime minister to get control
0:00:41 > 0:00:42of her chaotic cabinet.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Also tonight:
0:00:43 > 0:00:46The head of NHS England says without more money one in ten of us
0:00:46 > 0:00:48will be on a waiting list by 2021.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53assaulting her son last year.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57To Kevin Spacey I want to say this: shame on you for what you did to my

0:01:19 > 0:01:21overnight.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Good evening.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48After a day of high political drama, a second cabinet minister has been
0:01:48 > 0:01:50forced to quit inside a week.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Today it was the turn of the International Development
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Secretary Priti Patel - made to rush back this afternoon
0:01:55 > 0:01:58from a government visit to Africa and then summoned to Number 10.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The reason - a series of highly sensitive and unauthorised meetings
0:02:01 > 0:02:03with Israeli ministers that she had failed to mention to
0:02:03 > 0:02:07the Foreign Office.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10She offered Theresa May a fulsome apology.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Labour accused her of misleading the public.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale broke the story
0:02:15 > 0:02:16of Ms Patel's secret meetings.
0:02:16 > 0:02:25His report contains flashing images.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Priti Patel arriving at the back to Downing Street tonight. A short walk
0:02:29 > 0:02:35before a mighty fall. And then after a brief meeting with the Prime
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Minister she was out, out of office for the secret meetings she held
0:02:39 > 0:02:44while on holiday in Israel, putting on a brave face for a remarkable act
0:02:44 > 0:02:51of political self harm. In the ritual exchange of letters, the now
0:02:51 > 0:02:53former International Development Secretary admitted that her actions
0:02:53 > 0:02:57fell below the standards of transparency and openness that I
0:02:57 > 0:03:01have promoted and advocated. I offer a fulsome apology to you and the
0:03:01 > 0:03:05government. Theresa May told Miss Patel, when we met on Monday I was
0:03:05 > 0:03:10glad to accept your apology. But now that further details have come to
0:03:10 > 0:03:14light, it is right you have decided to resign. The man whose department
0:03:14 > 0:03:18she fails to call before she went to Israel was the Foreign Secretary,
0:03:18 > 0:03:24Boris Johnson.Well I just want to save Priti Patel has been a very
0:03:24 > 0:03:29good colleague and friend for a long time, and a first-class Secretary of
0:03:29 > 0:03:32State for International Development, it's been a real pleasure working
0:03:32 > 0:03:35with her and I'm sure she's got a great future ahead, thank you very
0:03:35 > 0:03:43much.Earlier, Miss Patel arrived back from a visit to Africa,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46enjoying the queue busting perks of ministerial office for the last
0:03:46 > 0:03:51time. Summoned back more than 4000 miles for her lack of candour with
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Downing Street over the full extent of her secret diplomacy with Israel
0:03:55 > 0:04:01that some felt broke ministerial rules. It all began when Miss Patel
0:04:01 > 0:04:05went on holiday to Israel in August. I heard rumours of what she got up
0:04:05 > 0:04:10to, check them out, then last Friday I reported she had held a number of
0:04:10 > 0:04:12meetings with ministers, officials and charities without telling the
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Foreign Office, as would be expected. That afternoon Miss Patel
0:04:17 > 0:04:23challenged my report, telling the Guardian Boris Johnson did know
0:04:23 > 0:04:25about the meetings. On Thursday it emerged she had been summoned to
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Downing Street to be reprimanded by the Prime Minister and reminded of
0:04:29 > 0:04:33the ministerial rules. Miss Patel issued a statement apologising,
0:04:33 > 0:04:38admitting there had been 12 secret meetings including one with Israel's
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Prime Minister. Downing Street hoped that would be that. Then on Tuesday
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I reported that after the trip Miss Patel suggested using British aid
0:04:47 > 0:04:51money to help the Israeli army in its humanitarian work in the
0:04:51 > 0:04:55occupied Golan Heights. That afternoon Miss Patel left for Africa
0:04:55 > 0:05:00as Downing Street admitted it hadn't known about the plan to help the
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Israeli army. Then this morning it emerged Miss Patel had had two
0:05:04 > 0:05:08further meetings with senior Israelis in September. Again,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12without telling civil servants. After all this, it was no surprise
0:05:12 > 0:05:18she was ordered back to London. There were also reports Miss Patel
0:05:18 > 0:05:22had taken the controversial step of visiting an Israeli army field
0:05:22 > 0:05:25hospital in the Golan Heights, an area Britain doesn't officially
0:05:25 > 0:05:32consider part of Israel. Why did Priti Patel act like she did? Some
0:05:32 > 0:05:37MPs say she didn't realise it was wrong. Others say she has a history
0:05:37 > 0:05:40of doing things without telling civil servants. Others suspect she
0:05:40 > 0:05:45was pursuing her own private foreign policy. At Westminster, Labour said
0:05:45 > 0:05:48there were still questions about what the Foreign Office knew and
0:05:48 > 0:05:54when.It's clear that the Minister Priti Patel broke the code of
0:05:54 > 0:05:58conduct, it's been clear all along, she should have gone immediately.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Instead the Prime Minister prevaricated, allowed a kind of soap
0:06:02 > 0:06:07opera to run all week, finally scuttling off to Africa and being
0:06:07 > 0:06:14dragged back.Priti Patel, who...In her youth, Priti Patel supported the
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Eurosceptic referendum party before joining a new and different
0:06:17 > 0:06:22generation of young conservatives. Elected in 2010, she rose swiftly to
0:06:22 > 0:06:25become the first British Indian cabinet minister, an international
0:06:25 > 0:06:29developer and secretary promising to reform Britain's aid budget, a
0:06:29 > 0:06:35leading light of the pro-Brexit leave campaign. But tonight, she's
0:06:35 > 0:06:40out of office, a second cabinet minister to resign from this fragile
0:06:40 > 0:06:43government in less than a week. Landale, BBC News.
0:06:43 > 0:06:50Let's talk to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52With Priti Patel's departure today, that's two cabinet
0:06:52 > 0:06:53ministers gone in a week.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Where does this leave Theresa May?
0:06:54 > 0:06:59It feels like a political lifetime doesn't it? It's exactly seven days
0:06:59 > 0:07:03ago tonight we were talking about Michael Fallon being forced to
0:07:03 > 0:07:08resign for very different reasons. These are two major figures in the
0:07:08 > 0:07:12cabinet, disappeared from around Theresa May's top table in one week.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15There is still a question about what other of her close colleagues,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Damian Green. The essential deputy at number two, who is under
0:07:19 > 0:07:23investigation for things he denies but things he may have done wrong in
0:07:23 > 0:07:29the past. How to clean up this mess? We expect not until tomorrow morning
0:07:29 > 0:07:33will there be a replacement for Priti Patel. Theresa May has to
0:07:33 > 0:07:39consider, does she put somebody into that job just because of their
0:07:39 > 0:07:42qualifications and experience? Or does she try, more than anything
0:07:42 > 0:07:46else, to preserve the very delicate balance in the Cabinet between those
0:07:46 > 0:07:51who are due to leave the European Union and those who argued to stay?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Some people might listen to that and think, why are we still banging on
0:07:54 > 0:07:58about that after all this time? Why does it still matter? It still
0:07:58 > 0:08:02matters in terms of the personnel at the top, because that is the great
0:08:02 > 0:08:06unresolved argument that runs from top to bottom in the Tory party. The
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Cabinet was put together in the current formulation very carefully
0:08:11 > 0:08:15to try to preserve that political balance. But I think more than
0:08:15 > 0:08:20anything else, after what has at times felt like a chaotic week,
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Theresa May needs pretty sharpish to try and show a steady hand. It's not
0:08:25 > 0:08:31so long ago she was arguing she would be the strong and stable Prime
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Minister against the opposition putting forward the proposition of a
0:08:33 > 0:08:38coalition of chaos. Well, even those who agree with her inside the Tory
0:08:38 > 0:08:43party might agree right now the chaos has been in Downing Street.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Laura Kuenssberg, thank you.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50The head of NHS England has thrown down the gauntlet to the government
0:08:50 > 0:08:51ahead of the budget in a fortnight.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Simon Stevens says the NHS should get the money it was promised
0:08:54 > 0:08:55during the EU referendum.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Without more funding he predicts that by 2021 one in ten of us
0:08:58 > 0:09:01will be on a waiting list for an operation and the NHS
0:09:01 > 0:09:04will be forced to turn back a decade of progress.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Our health editor Hugh Pym has more.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Waiting lists are a key NHS benchmark.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Ten years ago there were over 4 million people waiting
0:09:12 > 0:09:13for routine surgery in England.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17That fell to around 2.5 million, but, in the past few years, it's
0:09:17 > 0:09:20crept back to the 4 million mark.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now the head of the NHS is warning it could hit 5 million.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25It was an extraordinary intervention from a senior public
0:09:25 > 0:09:34official head of a budget.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36On the current funding outlook, the NHS waiting list will grow
0:09:36 > 0:09:38to 5 million people by 2021.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40That's an extra million people on the waiting list -
0:09:40 > 0:09:42one in ten of us waiting for an operation,
0:09:42 > 0:09:43the highest number ever.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46In essence, NHS England is warning that the problem starts
0:09:46 > 0:09:48as soon as next year, if there isn't new money
0:09:48 > 0:09:58allocated in the budget.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10That means waiting lists rising more rapidly and, in effect,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12a national policy to ration non-urgent care needing
0:10:12 > 0:10:13to be introduced.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Rose is one patient who thinks the NHS needs
0:10:15 > 0:10:16a rapid financial boost.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18She believes she's missing out on the specialist care
0:10:18 > 0:10:19she needs for her MS.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22You call to make an appointment and they make you wait
0:10:22 > 0:10:25two or three weeks.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Then, you when you get in there, they're very busy,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31and they just say, "Well, actually, at this point
0:10:31 > 0:10:33you should just call physio, and maybe they can help
0:10:33 > 0:10:34you strengthen your core muscles."
0:10:34 > 0:10:37And I can't get through to physio, they don't answer their phone,
0:10:37 > 0:10:42they don't answer e-mails.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Remember this?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The Vote Leave battle bus and the claim that Brexit would mean
0:10:46 > 0:10:48£350 million a week more for the NHS.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51That was quoted by Simon Stevens as part of his pitch for more money.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Trust in democratic politics will not be strengthened
0:10:53 > 0:10:56if anyone now tries to argue, "You voted Brexit partly
0:10:56 > 0:10:58for a better funded health service, but precisely because of Brexit
0:10:58 > 0:10:59you now can't have one."
0:10:59 > 0:11:02The Health Secretary said it was a Vote Leave,
0:11:02 > 0:11:03not a Government pledge, but any Brexit dividend
0:11:03 > 0:11:08should help the NHS.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11If we end up having less pressure on public finances,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14because of the fact that we are not making net contributions to the EU,
0:11:14 > 0:11:24then I believe that the NHS should be the first port of call.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Any budget funding increase for health in England
0:11:30 > 0:11:32would automatically mean more money for Scotland, Wales
0:11:32 > 0:11:34and Northern Ireland.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38It's now down to the Chancellor and whether he believes
0:11:38 > 0:11:39the claims of Simon Stevens.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Hugh Pym, BBC News.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44The mother of a teenager has publicly accused the Hollywood actor
0:11:44 > 0:11:46and theatre director Kevin Spacey of sexually assaulting
0:11:46 > 0:11:48her son last year.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51The US news presenter Heather Unruh told a press conference that
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Mr Spacey had plied her son with alcohol and
0:11:53 > 0:11:55assaulted him in a bar.
0:11:55 > 0:12:01It's another allegation added to a growing list against Mr Spacey.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05And the actors union Equity has told the BBC that the problems of sexual
0:12:05 > 0:12:07harassment are endemic in the industry at all levels.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Our Special correspondent Lucy Manning reports.
0:12:11 > 0:12:21In July 2016, actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted my son.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The tears of a mother in Boston today, revealing what she claimed
0:12:25 > 0:12:28happened to her son.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31The victim, my son, was a starstruck straight 18-year-old young man,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34who had no idea that the famous actor was an alleged sexual
0:12:34 > 0:12:44predator or that he was about to become his next victim.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Journalist Heather Unruh's tweet about Kevin Spacey
0:12:50 > 0:12:52last month triggered all the allegations against him.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Today, she went public and the police are now investigating.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59To Kevin Spacey, I want to say this -
0:12:59 > 0:13:04shame on you for what you did to my son.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09The BBC has interviewed more alleged victims.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Kris Nixon didn't have to speak out but wanted to make clear
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Kevin Spacey's behaviour was part of a pattern.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18It's not just sleazy, it's predatorial, it's...
0:13:18 > 0:13:23He did what he did because he knew he'd get away with it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25The one-time barman met Kevin Spacey in London in 2007,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29when he alleges the actor groped him.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Kevin Spacey sat down on the sofa next to me,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35asked if that was my girlfriend, then reached over, grabbed...
0:13:35 > 0:13:39He then describes a sexually explicit action and words.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42A couple of weeks after the party at his place,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45he was in the bar, reached forward, grabbed my waistband
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and said something to the effect of, "I can make it up to you,"
0:13:48 > 0:13:50or, "Let me make it up to you."
0:13:50 > 0:13:53So I went back upstairs, I was standing behind the bar thinking,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54"What the hell just happened again?"
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I was in work so I couldn't make a scene about it.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00And told him in no uncertain terms where he could go.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02The BBC also spoke to an American film-maker who didn't
0:14:02 > 0:14:05want to be fully identified.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08In the 1990s, he was a junior crew member on a film
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Kevin Spacey directed.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14He claims the actor sexually harassed him, something he mentioned
0:14:14 > 0:14:15to another man working on the film.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19He said, "You too, huh?"
0:14:19 > 0:14:21And I was like, "What do you mean, 'You too'?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22What do you mean?"
0:14:22 > 0:14:25And he goes, "He was touching you and flirting with you?"
0:14:25 > 0:14:26I said, "Yeah, it was awful!"
0:14:26 > 0:14:28And he said, "Yeah, he did that to me."
0:14:28 > 0:14:33In the first week we were all out at a bar, and he grabbed my butt,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and I turned round, and I said to him, "Kevin, if you ever do that
0:14:36 > 0:14:41again, I will kick your ass, so leave me alone."
0:14:41 > 0:14:43In the UK, the actors' union says sexual harassment
0:14:43 > 0:14:48in the industry is endemic.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53I think it was every the place you could imagine in our industry. Every
0:14:53 > 0:14:57woman I have spoken to, female actor I've spoken to, can tell you a
0:14:57 > 0:15:02story, absolutely. And many, many of the men, both straight and gay, can
0:15:02 > 0:15:05also tell you stories.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Can those at the Old Vic Theatre, where Kevin Spacey worked for 11
0:15:08 > 0:15:09years, really have been in the dark?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12The theatre initially said it had no complaints against him,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16but it has now appointed external advisers to investigate.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Kevin Spacey has not responded to any of the latest allegations.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Previously, he said he needed to examine his own behaviour.
0:15:21 > 0:15:27Lucy Manning, BBC News.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29The family of Carl Sargeant - the former Welsh Government minister
0:15:29 > 0:15:32who's thought to have taken his own life yesterday -
0:15:32 > 0:15:35have said he was denied common courtesy and natural justice.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Mr Sargeant had been sacked after he faced allegations
0:15:37 > 0:15:38of sexual harassment.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Sian Lloyd is in Cardiff.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42This is clearly extremely harrowing for the family and has shaken
0:15:42 > 0:15:51the Welsh Assembly.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Indeed, and business at the Welsh Assembly has been suspended for the
0:15:56 > 0:16:01week as a mark of respect to Carl Sargeant.Assembly members paid
0:16:01 > 0:16:05tribute and have left messages on a book of condolence. Amongst this

0:16:10 > 0:16:16today, because they released a series of letters sent by Carl

0:16:19 > 0:16:25they show before his death, Carl Sargeant had knowledge of a broad
0:16:25 > 0:16:30area of the allegations made against him, they fell into the category of
0:16:30 > 0:16:36unwarranted attention, inappropriate attention or grouping. But he was
0:16:36 > 0:16:40distressed he could not defend himself because he did not have the
0:16:40 > 0:16:46details and there were warnings of his mental welfare and allegations
0:16:46 > 0:16:49the minister Carwyn Jones was prejudicing the investigation
0:16:49 > 0:16:54because of comments to the media. They said the procedure was followed
0:16:54 > 0:16:58a spokesperson for Carwyn Jones said he is upset by the death of his
0:16:58 > 0:17:02friend but there are many questions and this is the biggest challenge
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Carwyn Jones has faced during his time in charge tomorrow he will be
0:17:07 > 0:17:11here to face members of Welsh Labour Party.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14President Trump has arrived in the Chinese capital
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Beijing on the latest stop of his twelve-day tour of Asia.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20He was given the most lavish of welcomes at one of the country's
0:17:20 > 0:17:22most important historic sites - the Forbidden City -
0:17:22 > 0:17:26by President Xi Jinping, in what's being described by Chinese
0:17:26 > 0:17:29officials as a state visit-plus.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31This report from our China editor, Carrie Gracie,
0:17:31 > 0:17:32contains flashing images.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34The Forbidden City.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Today's tour guide to the home of emperors -
0:17:36 > 0:17:39the president of China.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42His tourist - the other most powerful leader in the world.
0:17:42 > 0:17:49All smiles, despite the threat of nuclear crisis.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52President Trump had come from South Korea, where he told
0:17:52 > 0:17:55the National Assembly that North Korea was a hell, and China
0:17:55 > 0:17:58should not be helping it.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03We call on every nation, including China and Russia,
0:18:03 > 0:18:08to fully implement UN Security Council resolutions,
0:18:08 > 0:18:13downgrade diplomatic relations with the regime and sever all ties
0:18:13 > 0:18:16of trade and technology.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21But in the 1950s, Chinese fought and died alongside North Koreans
0:18:21 > 0:18:26and against the United States.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30China still commemorates its war dead and sees North Korea
0:18:30 > 0:18:33as a strategic buffer.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Yes, it backs US sanctions, but no, it won't let
0:18:36 > 0:18:40its communist ally fall.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43China has already done its most - I would not use the term best -
0:18:43 > 0:18:47but its most it can to leverage Pyongyang.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Because when you push too far, the Chinese ultimate concern is kind
0:18:50 > 0:18:58of a regime instability.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03So China's game plan is to charm the US president and distract
0:19:03 > 0:19:06from his grievances on North Korea and unfair trade.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10The Chinese have thousands of years of experience
0:19:10 > 0:19:12in flattering foreigners and they are good at it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14They are very good at it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15China cannot bully the United States.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20The United States cannot bully China.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23But we have to stand up for ourselves and say to Xi directly -
0:19:23 > 0:19:25without Twitter and tweets, and so forth -
0:19:25 > 0:19:28you can't go any farther.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Trump and Xi, two strong men with self-belief.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34But that's where the similarity ends.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38This is Trump's guide - The Art Of The Deal.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40It says you cannot be imaginative if you have too much structure.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43But this is The Art Of War.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Essential reading for Chinese statesmen.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51It says know your enemy, know yourself.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55The supreme victory is to subdue your foe without a fight.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58In Chinese opera, not everyone can be a winner.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01US superpower, Chinese rising power.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03The real business starts now.
0:20:03 > 0:20:13Carrie Gracie, BBC News, Beijing.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18In the next few hours we will see the two Presidents discussed North
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Korea and oversee the signing of billions of dollars worth of
0:20:22 > 0:20:26business for American companies in aircraft, energy and food, but there
0:20:26 > 0:20:31is more money going in the opposite direction and American companies
0:20:31 > 0:20:35complain imported Chinese markets are still closed, including banking
0:20:35 > 0:20:40and technology, to them. The underlying problem for the US is
0:20:40 > 0:20:46President Trump still does not have a clear China strategy, while China
0:20:46 > 0:20:50under President Xi has a 30 year plan and growing sense of destiny
0:20:50 > 0:20:56and confidence about becoming a superpower. Thank you.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59The worsening plight of the homeless in England has been revealed
0:20:59 > 0:21:01in a new report by the charity Shelter.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It says the number of people rough sleeping, staying in hostels
0:21:03 > 0:21:07or temporary accommodation is more than quarter of a million.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Since 2010, the number of people sleeping on the streets in England
0:21:10 > 0:21:12alone has increased by 134%.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18And more than 100,000 children in England are living
0:21:18 > 0:21:19with their families in temporary accommodation.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan has been to one
0:21:22 > 0:21:23industrial estate in London that is now housing
0:21:23 > 0:21:27dozens of families.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29In the world's sixth richest nation, increasingly, people
0:21:29 > 0:21:32cannot afford a home.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35In Newham in east London, one in every 25 people is homeless,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38according to today's report.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Rising levels of rough-sleeping are the most obvious sign.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45But homelessness is not always apparent.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49This is the Willow Lane Trading Estate in South London.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It's busy and noisy - and home to dozens of young families.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55They live here, Connect House, a former office block -
0:21:55 > 0:22:01scores of families sent by nearby councils.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04For Victoria and her daughter Daisy, this cramped room is home.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Do you want some soup, darling?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12They've been here since April - seven months of sheer hell.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14All I have to do to electrocute myself here
0:22:14 > 0:22:16is turn the tap on fully.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18The water comes out and drips everywhere,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20all over electrical stuff.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22They became homeless when their landlord sold
0:22:22 > 0:22:24their property and they could not find another home.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I have malnutrition.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29And it's a struggle.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I need to eat protein.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33And I need an oven.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37They do have a microwave.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40But it's no substitute for home cooking and quite dangerous to use.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43It's heartbreaking.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48I have never seen her so sad in her entire life.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Sometimes if she's really tired, I lift her legs
0:22:50 > 0:22:54into bed and tuck her in.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55This building is a damning indictment of Britain's
0:22:55 > 0:22:58housing crisis.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03More than 80 families, easily more than a hundred children,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06are living here, and each family is paying hundreds of pounds each
0:23:06 > 0:23:10week to live in a converted office.
0:23:10 > 0:23:16The landlord here gets almost £1 million a year in housing benefit.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18They say they have costs such as maintenance and that no-one
0:23:18 > 0:23:20is forced to stay here.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24But still, some are desperate to leave.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Was he able to breathe on his own?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29No.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Angellie Facey shows me the prized photos of her son Kilani.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37He died, aged 40 days, of several complications.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Among his mum's regrets is that the ambulance couldn't find
0:23:41 > 0:23:44this obscure office block when her labour started, forcing her
0:23:44 > 0:23:46to have the child in the car park.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50When I came back from the hospital, when I came back to the estate,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I still saw all the blood on the floor.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Every time I come here, I just feel so weird
0:23:55 > 0:23:56at being here, you know.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Sometimes I think I've seen my little one in the bed next to me,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02cos I was meant to to bring him home to this address.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Following our enquiries, Angellie says has been offered a move.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09But her room will be quickly filled - the councils who send people
0:24:09 > 0:24:10here say they've few other options.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Ministers say they're determined to end all homelessness,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15though no-one expects it to happen any time soon.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Michael Buchanan, BBC News.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Across the Spanish region of Catalonia, thousands
0:24:22 > 0:24:31of protesters have blocked roads and train lines over
0:24:31 > 0:24:33the continued imprisonment of the region's separatist leaders.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It comes as the Spanish foreign minister suggested that Catalonia
0:24:35 > 0:24:37could have a legal referendum on independence following last
0:24:37 > 0:24:39month's disputed one - but only if the necessary
0:24:39 > 0:24:41constitutional changes are approved by the rest of Spain.
0:24:41 > 0:24:47Our Europe correspondent Gavin Lee reports.
0:24:47 > 0:24:47It
0:24:47 > 0:24:50The streets of Catalonia tonight.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55After a day where separatist supporters have controlled
0:24:55 > 0:24:57the rhythm of the traffic, blocking every major
0:24:57 > 0:24:58route across the region.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02And the railways, too.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04In Madrid, I met Spain's Foreign Minister, who recently claimed
0:25:04 > 0:25:13it was fake news to suggest there was police violence
0:25:13 > 0:25:15against voters during last month's banned independence referendum.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Now he seems to have softened his position.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I'm sorry if some of them got injured, but this was not...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I don't think it was a disproportionate use of force.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I am not denying that there were some ugly images
0:25:25 > 0:25:28that we would not like to see repeated, but by all means,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and with all due respect, this was no Bloody Sunday.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34You think it might be a better system to actually have a referendum
0:25:34 > 0:25:38to change the constitution for the Spanish people?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40We have created a committee in the parliament to
0:25:40 > 0:25:42explore the possibility of amending the constitution.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47I think we are ready.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49We acknowledge that there is a political situation that
0:25:49 > 0:25:52deserves to be looked at.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But, in any case, it is clear a decision will have be
0:25:54 > 0:25:59taken by all Spaniards.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03This proposal from the Spanish government appears to offer an olive
0:26:03 > 0:26:07branch to separatist supporters, but it means that 47 million people
0:26:07 > 0:26:11across Spain will decide whether to legally make it possible
0:26:11 > 0:26:13or not to have the right to self-determination, and, if so,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16once again it will be down to the entire Spanish
0:26:16 > 0:26:20population to decide if they want to see independence.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25I think Catalonia have to decide the referendum, not Spain.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Spain does not have anything to say.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30A new constitution may be a good thing for Catalonia.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Maybe.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It was only days ago separatist ministers
0:26:35 > 0:26:37were declaring independence here in the Catalan parliament.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Their seats are empty now.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Some are in prison, or on the run.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43There are more in court tomorrow.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Gavin Lee, BBC News, Barcelona.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Relatives of those who died in the Enniskillen bombing have been
0:26:49 > 0:26:51gathering in the town to mark the 30th anniversary
0:26:51 > 0:26:53of the explosion.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55The IRA attack was one of the most notorious of the Troubles,
0:26:55 > 0:27:0012 people lost their lives in the bombing that took place
0:27:00 > 0:27:02at the town's Cenotaph during a Remembrance Sunday ceremony.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler reports.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Exactly 30 years ago today, people gathered in Enniskillen
0:27:09 > 0:27:17for an act of remembrance.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20In 1987, the service was held to honour those who died
0:27:20 > 0:27:22during two world wars.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Today's ceremony was to remember those murdered as they stood
0:27:25 > 0:27:28in tribute here at the town Cenotaph.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Wesley Armstrong.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Each of the 12 names was read out.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Bertha Armstrong.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40All victims of an IRA attack that stood out as shocking even
0:27:40 > 0:27:43amid the series of shootings and bombings all too simply known
0:27:43 > 0:27:48as Northern Ireland's troubles.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Bodies were left buried in rubble after the explosion.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54The dead left lying alongside the dozens injured.
0:27:54 > 0:28:00The loss is just so terrible.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04And someone just said to me, the grief is the price of love.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07And I never thought of that until I heard that.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13And it truly is.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15During today's service, a solo was sung by a girl
0:28:15 > 0:28:18who never had the chance to know her grandparents
0:28:18 > 0:28:22because of the bombing.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25A message was read from the Queen, in which she talked
0:28:25 > 0:28:30of the irreplaceable loss suffered by each of the families.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33They will gather again here in this town this weekend,
0:28:33 > 0:28:40as is still traditional on Remembrance Sunday.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42The restaurant owner, cookery writer and chef
0:28:42 > 0:28:52Antonio Carluccio has died at the age of 80.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Dubbed the Godfather of Italian gastronomy,
0:28:56 > 0:28:58he was known for his popular television programmes, more
0:28:58 > 0:29:05than 20 cookbooks and the chain of restaurants he co-founded.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07He summed up his approach in the motto -
0:29:07 > 0:29:08minimum of fuss, maximum of flavour.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11The world-famous name of the Louvre now has a second
0:29:11 > 0:29:16home in the Middle East.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18The Louvre Abu Dhabi has been formally opened, which allows
0:29:18 > 0:29:20the loan of the name for 30 years.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23The new museum will show hundreds of works from every culture and era,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26half on loan from France's most prestigious museum collections.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28They are housed beneath a spectacular domed roof -
0:29:28 > 0:29:30designed to allow the desert sun to filter through.
0:29:30 > 0:29:36Our arts editor Will Gompertz has been to see it.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41The hit and miss architecture of Abu Dhabi's recently
0:29:41 > 0:29:43built high-rise skyline, which sits alongside the impressive
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, perhaps the Emirate's
0:29:45 > 0:29:51most famous landmark.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Well, it was, but now there's this, the brand-new Louvre Abu Dhabi
0:29:55 > 0:30:00with its 180 metres, 7.5 tonne domed roof,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04designed along with the 55 individual buildings its bands,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06designed along with the 55 individual buildings it spans,
0:30:06 > 0:30:08by the prize-winning French architect Jean Nouvel.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I wanted also, when you look at the building, that you understand
0:30:11 > 0:30:12it is a spiritual building.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14The symbol of spirituality here is the cupola.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16For me, it is cosmographic.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21It is kind of a sky under the sky.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25And when you have the light through, because I perforated this dome,
0:30:25 > 0:30:30I thought that we could play with the movement of the sun
0:30:30 > 0:30:36and the ray of light has to go through eight layers and,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39of course, with the movement of the sun, one spot disappears.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43But at the same time, two others appear.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46The project is a collaboration between Abu Dhabi and the Louvre
0:30:46 > 0:30:50in Paris, which is being paid around 1 billion euros for lending
0:30:50 > 0:30:54its name, expertise and collection to the new museum.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Masterpieces such as Leonardo da Vinci's La Belle Ferronier sit
0:30:57 > 0:31:01alongside works lent by other French institutions.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Monet, from the Musee d'Orsay. Giacometti from the Pompidou
0:31:05 > 0:31:09and this sculpture, Horses of the Sun, from Versailles.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Did you need to do the deal with the Louvre?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Couldn't you just have borrowed works from museums around the world?
0:31:16 > 0:31:21We have a saying in Arabic, which is start where other
0:31:21 > 0:31:23civilisations end, instead of starting all the way
0:31:23 > 0:31:26from scratch, instead of going through all the learning
0:31:26 > 0:31:29curves of thousands of years of their experience.
0:31:29 > 0:31:35The partnership is about getting their experience,
0:31:35 > 0:31:42learning from them, but also working together to create something
0:31:42 > 0:31:44that is new for Abu Dhabi, but also new for France
0:31:44 > 0:31:46and new for the world.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50The Emirate says its Louvre will be joined by a national museum
