Patients are dying prematurely
in hospital corridors - | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
the stark warning to
the Prime Minister from | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
dozens of senior doctors. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
They've written to Theresa May
saying safety is being compromised | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
at some A&E units in England
and Wales, and conditions | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
are at times intolerable. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
There is a clear emergency
and what a number of other observers | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
have clearly described as a crisis. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
The doctors' warning comes with A&E
waiting time levels in England | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
and Wales amongst the worst
since records began. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Also on tonight's programme. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |

The famous video blogger
punished by YouTube - | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
after posting footage of a suicide
victim for his millions | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
of followers. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
The New York Times was barred

And Steven Spielberg's new film
on Nixon and the press, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
and why the director sees echoes
of Donald Trump. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Anybody that offends, you know,
there is a label that is immediately | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
attached to them which is called,
well that can't be true | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
because they're all fake news. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |

Good evening. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Dozens of senior doctors who run
Accident and Emergency departments | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
in England and Wales have written
a stark letter to the Prime Minister | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
warning that patients are dying
prematurely in hospital corridors | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
and conditions are at
times "intolerable". | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
They say thousands of patients
are left in the back of ambulances | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
waiting to get into A&E. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
And very high rates of flu recently
mean that some hospitals | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
are running out of beds. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Today, there's fresh evidence
of the pressure A&E units are under. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
More than 300,000 patients waited
longer than they should in December. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Staff managed to see 85%
of patients within four hours - | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
that's well below the 95% target -
and some of the worst figures | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
since records began. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
Our health editor Hugh Pym reports. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
A long wait in an overcrowded A&E
unit, that's what 87-year-old | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Yvonne had to endure. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
It was ten hours before she saw
a doctor, and hours more before | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
she was admitted to a ward. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Her daughter, Esther, used her scarf
to secure her in a wheelchair, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
because for some of the time,
there was no trolley. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
It was just heaving with ambulances,
ambulance drivers, patients | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
on the ambulance trolleys,
and it was literally wall-to-wall, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
both sides, corridors
just full of patients. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:22 | |
It was like, "Gosh, how long is it
going to take us to get through?" | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
And with scenes like this
filmed by a patient, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
senior A&E doctors say they're
so concerned they've written | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
to the Prime Minister setting out
some of their own experiences. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
Over 120 patients a day
managed in corridors, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
some dying prematurely,
an average of 10-12 hours | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
for a decision to admit a patient
until they are transferred to a bed | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
and patients sleeping in clinics
as make-shift wards. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
They say NHS winter planning failed
to deliver what was needed. | 0:03:53 | 0:04:00 | |
There is no doubt that our emergency
departments are facing | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
the biggest crisis that we have had
for over 15 years. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
We absolutely must work together
as system leaders at every level | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
in order to find both short-term
and medium-term solutions. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
The Prime Minister insisted again
there had been extensive measures | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
to prepare for winter. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
For the first time ever,
urgent GP appointments | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
being available throughout
the Christmas period, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
that was a decision taken to improve
the service for people but also | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
to ensure that the NHS had that
better capacity to deal | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
with these winter pressures. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
For the opposition, the problem
is really about funding. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:41 | |
Money's got to go in now,
but it should have gone in earlier. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Even if the Chancellor
announced billions today, | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
you can't spend it all by tomorrow. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
While the debate goes on,
Rosie can only reflect | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
on a humiliating experience in A&E. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
She was in severe pain
because of a gynecological problem | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
and was bleeding heavily
but she was examined | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
in a crowded corridor. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
I think I was trolley number 12. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
And there were trolleys,
then, all the way up. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
You can't see to someone's dignity,
you can't ensure that they're having | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
a private conversation and that
if they break down in tears, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
which, I think I did,
I'm pretty sure that I cried as well | 0:05:15 | 0:05:23 | |
but you can't look into
anybody's right to privacy | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
or anything like that. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
At some hospitals like Ipswich
they say careful planning paid off | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
and though staff were stretched,
they coped with the pressures. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
At times over the really busy
New Year period there were trolleys | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
down the corridor here but at this
A&E unit things do seem to have | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
calmed a little this week,
with fewer patients coming | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
through the front door
of the hospital, though no-one's | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
complacent about what the weeks
ahead may bring. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
The medical director told me that
flu was a significant concern. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
We've worked very well
to get our staff vaccinated | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
but we're not at all complacent. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
I think the next two months
are going to be a challenging time. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:10 | |
We are looking still to get flu
vaccinations for vulnerable | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
patients and staff members
and the battle isn't over. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
And with the latest figures showing
the highest numbers of flu | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
figures in seven years,
health leaders call for vaccinations | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
for NHS staff to be compulsory. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
Some hospitals have greater
than 90% vaccinations | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
for their health workers,
others less than 20%. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
This has to be an issue
of leadership but we need people | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
in the health care sector
to protect their patients. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
We have a duty of care
to our patients. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Flu's been an even bigger problem
for Scotland's hospitals, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
a teenager died after catching
the virus which developed | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
into pneumonia. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Scotland and Wales as well as
England have missed A&E | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
waiting time targets. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
One answer, say the consultants
in their letter, is a big increase | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
in social care funding to allow more
patients to leave hospitals to be | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
cared for in the community. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:04 | |
It's a debate gaining momentum
as the NHS's bleak winter continues. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
Hugh Pym, BBC News. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
Our Political Editor Laura
Kuenssberg is in Westminster. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:19 | |
Certainly a very stark letter to the
Prime Minister from these very | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
senior doctors. Politically, how
awkward is this for the government? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
This isn't the first government
that's had to grapple with these | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
agonising pressures on the health
service in the winter and they are | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
not the first government to have
been around and in charge when a | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
conversation about the longer term
needs and sustainability of the NHS | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
has done the rounds at this time of
year. However, there does seem to be | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
something a bit different this year,
not just because of how stark | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
warnings are, how awful the
experiences of some patients that | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
are emerging have been, but because
there is a mood in the Tory party, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
the governing party, there are more
and more voices speaking out, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
raising the question of whether or
not the current model can last | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
without some significant change.
Either in how we pay for it, or in a | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
significant extra amount of cash
going in. Now Number Ten and number | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
11 of course who are in charge of
the money, are not yet in a place | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
either publicly or behind closed
doors where they would acknowledge | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
that something does have to budge,
but it's well worth noting that the | 0:08:21 | 0:08:27 | |
Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, who
remember Fort and won the battle to | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
stay in his job this week, said MPs
in the House of Commons, not just | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
that he would quite like to have a
10-year funding deal for the health | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
service, but that in the coming
years significantly cash, | 0:08:39 | 0:08:46 | |
significantly more money would have
to go into the health service. Now, | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
plenty of debates and conversations
about the long-term model, should | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
there be radical change, have
frankly hit the buffers, but there | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
is a sense round here right now that
perhaps in the coming months the | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
political pressure on the
government's position in the NHS is | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
going to build and build and
something might have to give. What | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
the Prime Minister did want to talk
about today was in fact the | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
environment? yes, very telling.
Theresa May's first big speech of | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
this first New Year was basically
her message to say, if you will want | 0:09:16 | 0:09:22 | |
to go green, you have to vote blue.
She launched the government's big | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
environmental plan to cover the next
25 years today. Top of her hit list, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
a crackdown on plastics, with the
environment now seeming to be one of | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
her top political priorities. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
What do you think I should look for? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
A grand vision, we were promised,
a plan to look after the spaces | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
around us for years to come,
and the Prime Minister trying | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
to spot political opportunity, too. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
The environment is something
personal to each of us but is also | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
something which collectively we hold
in trust for the next generation, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:58 | |
and we have a responsibility
to protect and enhance it. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:04 | |
Top of the list, cleaning
up plastics that harm | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
wildlife on land and sea,
more charges for plastic bags, | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
possible taxes on containers,
encouraging shops to use less. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
But over time, a long time, with no
new law to underline the change. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:20 | |
In years to come, I think people
will be shocked at how today | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
we allow so much plastic
to be produced needlessly. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
This truly is one of the great
environmental scourges of our time. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
So we will take action at every
stage of the production | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
and consumption of plastic. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
You're talking about ideas that
will take place over 25 years | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
with no legal guarantees. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
If actions speak louder than words,
do you really believe this problem | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
is acute and urgent? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
This is an inspiring plan,
it is a long-term plan, | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
it's about the next 25 years. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
But it's a plan that speaks
to everybody who has | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
an interest in our environment. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Everybody who wants to ensure that
future generations are able to enjoy | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
a beautiful environment
and a beautiful place | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
in which to live. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:10 | |
Looking on, alongside
the white-faced whistling ducks, | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
green campaigners pleased
there is a plan. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
But not quite convinced that
a government that also believes | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
in fracking and building high-speed
rail really means it. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
The problem about talking
about a 25-year plan right now, | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
in the absence of hard measures
about what they will do | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
here and now, is this
is a government where most | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
commentators question if it
will last 25 months, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
or possibly even 25 days. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
What we need is to know
what are the actions happening | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
in 2018 to make a difference. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
Theresa May says conservation
and Conservatism have | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
always gone hand in hand,
but this isn't just | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
about principles, or policy,
or this new environment plan, | 0:11:49 | 0:11:54 | |
it's also about politics and how
the Tories fell back | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
at the general election. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
Anxious that millions of younger
voters turned to Labour then, | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
the Tories have tried
to detox their image with those | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
groups, greening their credentials,
banning microbeads, plans to end | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
the sale of ivory. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
What does Labour make
of the plastics plan? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
25 years is far too long. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
The plastic culture
has to be challenged. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
The throw-away society culture has
to be challenged and the pollution | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
of our rivers and our seas
by plastic waste is | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
absolutely dreadful. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
The Prime Minister believes her
promise is the right one to make. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:34 | |
Her hope - to create a habitat more
friendly to her political breed. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
Our environment analyst
Roger Harrabin joins me now. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:49 | |
Plastics and dealing with them is
what has grabbed the headlines, but | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
what the Prime Minister announced
today was much broader and ambitious | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
plans to improve our environment.
Its ironic she focused on plastics | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
because that's one of the weakest
areas of the document she produced | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
today. If she wants to be a world
leader in plastics, which she says | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
she does, maybe someone should have
told her that Bangladesh banned | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
plastic bags back in 2002. We are
lagging in the UK behind many | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
African countries in that. Having
said that, she has set the tone for | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
government, one that we haven't seen
before. Ministers have been nervous | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
about talking about the environment.
The plan itself is in many ways | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
really quite radical. It talks about
not just holding the environment | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
study, which governments have tried
to do before, but actually improving | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
it, improving wild flowers, which
are almost down to 2% now of their | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
previous range, in improving forests
and rivers, perhaps bringing more | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
greenery back to people's
playgrounds, children's playgrounds, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
bringing the environment into
people's lives. All that looks | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
radical. Some caveats. Nothing on
how they will reduce CO2 emissions | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
in line with the Paris agreement and
that crucial caveat, no underpinning | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
by law, no firm policies, no money,
nice pictures of bunnies but it | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
could be on the shelf within a year.
Roger Harrabin, thank you. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
A brief look at some of the day's
other other news stories. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
The former Ukip leader Nigel Farage
says he's on the verge of supporting | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
a second referendum on Britain's
membership of the European Union. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
He said a second vote to leave
could "kill off" the Remain | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
campaign for a generation. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
He said he thought the leave vote
would be even higher | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
if there were another poll. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson
has joined with other | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
European foreign ministers to call
on Donald Trump not to reintroduce | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
sanctions against Iran. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
Mr Johnson said the current
arrangement was the best way | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
of stopping Iran acquiring nuclear
weapons, and no one had yet come up | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
with a better diplomatic solution. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
Dominic Chappell, who was in charge
of BHS when it went bust in 2016, | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
has been found guilty on three
charges of failing to provide | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
information demanded
by the Pensions Regulator. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
The scheme had 19,000
members and a shortfall | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
of £571 million when BHS collapsed. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
He'll be sentenced at a later date. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
Lingerie company Rigby & Peller said
it was "deeply saddened" | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
at losing its most prestigious
customer - the Queen. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
It had held the royal
warrant since 1960. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
But the decision to cancel it came
after the retailer's | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
director wrote a book -
Storm In A D-Cup - | 0:15:21 | 0:15:28 | |
revealing details of life
inside Buckingham Palace. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Shares in Marks and Spencer dropped
sharply today after the retailer | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
posted disappointing Christmas
results, with falls in both | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
food and clothing sales. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:36 | |
But there was good news for Tesco
and for some more recent arrivals | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
on the retail scene,
as our Business Correspondent | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
Emma Simpson reports. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:50 | |
The show's over, we've moved
on, but the Christmas | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
story for retailers is only
now becoming clear. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
So who are some of
the winners and losers? | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
Tesco's done well with sales
up today, so have many | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
of the other grocers. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
But food sales, usually a bright
spot for Marks & Spencer, | 0:16:04 | 0:16:09 | |
went into reverse, and there have
been profit warnings at Debenhams, | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
Mothercare and Moss Bros. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
Things are certainly
more challenging here on | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
the High Street. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Take House of Fraser,
a business under pressure, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
it saw another fall in sales today. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:27 | |
And you don't have to go far to see
how the gap between the weaker and | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
the stronger players is widening. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Here at John Lewis,
it had no problems. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Pulling customers in. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
It's one of the winners today. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
There's a sort of slight air
of caution about people's attitudes. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
They're not coming in for all sorts. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
For perfectly
understandable reasons. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
But there is demand there, you just
have to go and find it and you have | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
to create the conditions where
people want things and of course | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
that comes to down to
having fabulous products. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
And it actually means
you have to be outstanding | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
at online and shops. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
Boohoo is a small but
fast-growing online retailer, | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
which is doing very
nicely without shops. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
...And is expecting to grow
sales by 90% this year. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:13 | |
But some are predicting
problems for the High | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
Street ahead. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
This is going to be the year
of retail distress. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
We've already seen bits
of distress percolating through | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
even before Christmas and I think
that the weaker players are going to | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
find it too tough to really survive. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
It's been a season of mixed
fortunes for retailers. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:40 | |
The New Year heralds
the clearance sales and some | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
uncertainty about
what 2018 will bring. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
Emma Simpson, BBC News. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
Hundreds of rescuers
are using helicopters, | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
search dogs and thermal imaging
equipment to try to find 8 people | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
who are still missing in California
after the devastating | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
mudslides on Tuesday. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
17 people are known to have died
after a torrent of mud carrying | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
boulders the size of small cars
smashed through the | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
town of Montecito. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:09 | |
More than 500 homes have been
damaged or destroyed. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
James Cook is there for us. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:19 | |
James? Yes, Sophie, we have details,
in the past few seconds, the police | 0:18:19 | 0:18:27 | |
released the name of all 17 of those
who confirmeded to have died. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
Including four children, aged,
three, six, attendant twelve and the | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
oldest person to have been killed so
far, an 89-year-old man. There seems | 0:18:36 | 0:18:42 | |
little hope of finding more
survivors from the terrible tragedy. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
We've been getting details about the
harrowing moment when the mud | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
landslide roared down this mountain
in the dead of night. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
Turn around! | 0:18:55 | 0:18:56 | |
The flash flood is right there! | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Get out of here, go! | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
This was the moment it began. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
Oh, my God, Mom! | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
And then panic. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
Close the door! | 0:19:03 | 0:19:09 | |
It was a million miles
an hour in slow motion, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
if that makes sense. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
I clicked into survival
gear, survival mode. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
Wake Dad up! | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
Every second, it is just roaring
and banging against the house | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
and the most vicious and violent
sounds you have ever heard. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:28 | |
Montecito is only just beginning
to grasp the scale of the disaster | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
which will bear its name. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
For this idyllic little town
of just 9000 people, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
recovery will be long and hard. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:41 | |
People walked their dogs
through here, there are trails, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
my kids have grown
up riding their bikes. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
Noelle Strogoff fled with her three
children just before the storm. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
But many of her neighbours did not. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
Two young boys were swept
out of their home, | 0:19:52 | 0:19:57 | |
along with their mother
in the middle of the night. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
And the dog is gone. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
And they're lucky to be fine. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
It is like a war zone here. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
There are homes that
are just missing. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
And I walk down the street
and I see balls, and toys, | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
and bicycles and shoes and socks. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
And knives and hammers. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
It's like people's lives are just
washed to the ocean. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:21 | |
Much of that debris ended up
clogging the main coastal motorway. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
We were told the people
in this car escaped. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
Above the town, the scorched hills
are scarred by rivers of mud. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
Well, the mudslide came
roaring down here, | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
sweeping everything before it
and if you want to know how houses | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
can be swept from their foundations
so easily, well, this is the answer. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:44 | |
Just look at the size
of the boulders that were pushed | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
down from the mountains. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
To drive through this little town
is to be stunned by the | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
power of this mudslide. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
Southern California
was once famed for its | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
agreeable climate. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
These days, it reels
from drought, fire and flood. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
James Cook, BBC News, Montecito. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:13 | |
Personality disorder -
it affects more than three million | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
people in the UK and costs the NHS
around £10 billion a year. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
Now health professionals
are demanding better access | 0:21:19 | 0:21:20 | |
to treatment for those affected
saying that one in 10 people | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
diagnosed with it end up
taking their own lives. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Our Home Editor Mark Easton reports. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:33 | |
I'd seen bar codes on the back of my
victim's neck, that were sending | 0:21:37 | 0:21:43 | |
messages to me, telling me to poison
her. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
It was only when Kathleen was moved
from a mental clinic, after being | 0:21:46 | 0:21:53 | |
accused of trying to poison a work
colleague, she was finally diagnosed | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
with a mental disorder.
It is one of the darkest places in | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
my head, I have ever been. I would
have preferred death to that. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:07 | |
Kathleen tried to control a lifetime
of chronic self-harm and suicidal | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
thoughts, she is not cured. But part
of her therapy is helping the NHS | 0:22:12 | 0:22:19 | |
getting people with personality
disorder into treatment. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
People are waiting months and months
and months for treatment and these | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
people are dying waiting, Mark.
Because they could kill themselves? | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
It has happened to a lot of my
friends, I'm afraid. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
What is a personality disorder? A
mental diagnosis with two common | 0:22:34 | 0:22:40 | |
types, border line or emotional
unstable personality disorder, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:47 | |
involving disturbed ways of thinking
and problem in solving emotion, Many | 0:22:47 | 0:22:52 | |
kill themselves. Anti-social
personality disorder disorder is | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
similar. Around 70% of the prison
population are thought to have PD. A | 0:22:57 | 0:23:03 | |
decade ago, mental health
campaigners were trying to convince | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
that personality disorder existed,
even now some psychiatrists question | 0:23:08 | 0:23:14 | |
if it is a mental illness. But there
is a big change on the estimated | 0:23:14 | 0:23:20 | |
three million people with the
disorder should get. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
Sometimes it may be appropriate...
This treatment in group in wind | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
isson agreed to let us witness the
way that therapy helps them deal | 0:23:27 | 0:23:34 | |
with problematic behaviour, linked
to a past trauma. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
Passively suicidal all the time. You
are self-destructive and push | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
everyone away.
It's been a lifetime of depression, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:50 | |
trauma, sexual abuse, rape... You
lose a sense of wanting to survive. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:56 | |
Sometimes doing the simple things
can be the hardest thing in the | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
world. You can't help it sometimes.
Unfortunately, people with | 0:23:59 | 0:24:04 | |
personality disorder, what hits the
headlines is often violent | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
behaviour.
They see them as bad people? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
Absolutely. That then adds to the
problem of those people are not | 0:24:10 | 0:24:16 | |
offered the treatment that they may
need. They are, I think, the most | 0:24:16 | 0:24:21 | |
let down group of people within the
NHS. Today in the Houses of | 0:24:21 | 0:24:27 | |
Parliament, campaigners and health
professionals launched a consensus | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
statement, demanding help for people
with PD. NHS England says getting | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
people the help that they need close
to home is at the heart of their | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
plans.
We need early intervention asking | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
people when younger, what happened
to you, how can we help? Giving them | 0:24:43 | 0:24:48 | |
tools and skills to help them manage
their live, emotions and | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
relationships.
Like Katherine and others diagnosed | 0:24:52 | 0:24:57 | |
with it, personality disorder does
not conform to traditional labels. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
It causes untold misery and country
beauties to countless tragic early | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
deaths. It is surely time we helped
to understand it better. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |

YouTube has cut business ties
with the video blogger Logan Paul - | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
after he posted video appearing
to show the body | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
of a suicide victim. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
Logan Paul, whose channel has
15 million subscribers, | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
subsequently apologised
for the video, which was filmed | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
on a location in Japan. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
Here's our Media Editor Amol Rajan. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:45 | |
We're going to take a break
from vlogging and take | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
a break from each other. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
Low budget, confessional and often
astonishingly popular. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
This couple announced
they were breaking up on YouTube | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
in a video seen 15 million times. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
If I can do it, you
can do it, for sure. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
They're part of a phenomenon called
vlogging, or video blogging, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
very often on Google-owned YouTube. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:11 | |
This 21st-century cottage industry
has created a vast new fleet | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
of online celebrities. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
Many vloggers have a committed
following among those | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
aged between 18 and 34 -
a demographic prized by advertisers. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Vloggers like Logan Paul. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
The 22-year-old American
is a YouTube star - or was. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:33 | |
I think this definitely marks
a moment in YouTube history. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
This morning, YouTube cut
business ties with him | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
after he naively posted a video
from Japan's Aokigahara forest, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
infamous as a suicide spot. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
Paul issued an apology to his 15
million subscribers on YouTube. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
I have made a severe and continuous
lapse of my judgment and I don't | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
expect to be forgiven. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
I'm simply here to apologise. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
YouTube declined to be interviewed. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
In a statement, they said: It's
taken us a long time to respond, | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
but we've been listening
to everything you've been saying. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
We know that the actions
of one creator can affect | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
the entire community. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Vlogging is now a hugely profitable
business with the likes | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
of Logan Paul making vast sums
of money in a variety of ways. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:18 | |
They get paid between £1
and £3 per 1000 clicks | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
and can top up their income
through merchandising | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
and deals with brands. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
And they do all of that
without the more stringent controls | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
applied to traditional media. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:31 | |
OK, rolling that. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
Licensed broadcasters in Britain
are regulated by Ofcom | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
and have to vet material
before publishing it. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
Vloggers however face
no such constraints. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
They are only censored
after the event. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
The boss of Britain's
biggest media agency wants | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
to see smarter regulation. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
I would definitely like to see
vloggers with this much reach | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
and this much influence
to have the sorts of regulation that | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
traditional broadcasters have
to adhere to, particularly around | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
content that can be dangerous,
can be glamorising or condoning | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
anti-social behaviour,
dangerous behaviour, | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
that can be copied by children. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
I'm going to be the biggest
entertainer on the planet. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
Logan Paul and his ilk portend
a new kind of celebrity - | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
one that is intimate,
incessant and ever more devotional. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
For all of the glory of the open
web, the danger is that his kind | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
of immaturity exposes
audiences to material that's | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
in nobody's interest. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
I'm just getting warmed up. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |

The Hollywood film director
Steven Spielberg says he believes | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
the Trump administration
is using the same tactics | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
as President Nixon to "try
to silence the press." | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
Tomorrow sees the release
of his latest film 'The Post', | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
which tells the story of the leaking
of the classified Pentagon papers - | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
to American journalists -
during the Vietnam war. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
Here's our Arts Editor,
Will Gompertz. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:55 | |
This is a devastating security
breach that was leaked | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
out of the Pentagon. | 0:28:58 | 0:28:59 | |
Before the Watergate Scandal,
there were the Pentagon Papers. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
The first expose of a cover-up
in the Nixon government | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
by the Washington Post,
led by its legendary editor Ben | 0:29:04 | 0:29:08 | |
Bradlee and publisher Kay Graham. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |
Do you have the papers? | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
Set in 1971. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:17 | |
Yes. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
But you have described
it as a timely movie. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
Well, obviously you just flip the 1
and the 7, or the 7 and the 1, | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
and you really get to see the great
arc of the pendulum that has brought | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
us right back to the same tactics
that Richard Nixon used | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
to try to silence the press. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
I'm talking about the current
administration and their absolute | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
broadsiding of media,
social media, news, | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
anybody that offends. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:45 | |
You know, there is a label
that is immediately attached | 0:29:47 | 0:29:52 | |
to them, which is called,
well, that can't be true, | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
because they're all fake news. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
I mean, it's a lot more
insidious today, by the way, | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
than it was in 1971. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:01 | |
If you publish, we'll be
in the Supreme Court next week. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
Meaning? | 0:30:04 | 0:30:05 | |
We could all go to prison. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:09 | |
There's been another massive press
expose in the last six months, | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
which is what looks like the endemic
sexual harassment and exploitation | 0:30:11 | 0:30:19 | |
which is, what looks
like the endemic sexual | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
harassment and exploitation | 0:30:21 | 0:30:22 | |
of women in Hollywood. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:23 | |
I mean, you're a really senior
figure in Hollywood and you've | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
been around a long time. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
Do you ever think, you know what,
I think I could have done | 0:30:28 | 0:30:31 | |
a bit more to stop this? | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
Well, you know, I can only basically
react to that question | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
within my own workplace environment. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
Within my organisation,
there weren't incidences, | 0:30:38 | 0:30:40 | |
except for just a couple of years
and years ago, that I would say | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
gave me the experiences to be
the authority on that | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
question you ask. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:47 | |
What happened in those incidences? | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
There were just
a couple of incidences. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
I don't go into detail on them,
but they happened years | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
and years ago, where we had
to let somebody go. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
People are concerned about having
a woman in charge of the paper. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
That she doesn't have the resolve
to make the tough choices. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
Thank you for your frankness. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
My prediction is that this
watershed moment for women, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
in extolling the courage of women
who, like Katherine Graham, | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
with the Pentagon Papers,
and with her decision to publish | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
or not to publish, so many women
have found their voices | 0:31:15 | 0:31:19 | |
and they have been given
so much support. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
Not just by other women,
but also by certain men. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
I think this is not just
another news cycle. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:32 | |
I think this is not just
another news cycle, | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
I think this is a permanent
change in the culture. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
Maybe. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:38 | |
But as Kay Graham showed
with her courageous leadership | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
of the Washington Post,
exposing deeply rooted corrupt | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
behaviour is one thing -
changing it is quite another. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
