0:00:06 > 0:00:08Tonight at ten:
0:00:08 > 0:00:10A sweeping review of university funding in England
0:00:10 > 0:00:17amid concerns about the level of tuition fees.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The system in England has become one of the most expensive
0:00:19 > 0:00:20in the world,
0:00:20 > 0:00:21raising major concerns about affordability.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23The Prime Minister - who says tuition fees
0:00:23 > 0:00:26will not be scrapped - says there needs to be a new look
0:00:26 > 0:00:28at the funding system.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Our goal is a funding system which provides value for money
0:00:30 > 0:00:35for graduates and taxpayers, so the principle that students
0:00:35 > 0:00:37as well as taxpayers should contribute to the cost
0:00:37 > 0:00:41of their studies is an important one.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44We'll be asking what the review might produce and we'll be looking
0:00:44 > 0:00:45at systems in other countries.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Also tonight:
0:00:48 > 0:00:50A university lecturer from Birmingham is jailed for
0:00:50 > 0:00:5232 years and described as one of the worst paedophiles
0:00:52 > 0:00:54ever found on the web.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Every year, millions of newborn babies around the world fail to live
0:00:58 > 0:01:00for more than a month, but most of those
0:01:00 > 0:01:07deaths are preventable.
0:01:07 > 0:01:14The world number one for Canada, can he do it? It is a dead heat!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And at the Winter Olympics, for the first time in 20 years,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20the gold medal has to be shared in the two-man bobsleigh.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Crisis at KFC - the fried chicken chain that's run out of chicken.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And coming up on Sportsday on BBC News, has Will Grigg fired Wigan
0:01:27 > 0:01:29to another upset over Manchester City and a place
0:01:29 > 0:01:32in the FA Cup quarterfinals?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Good evening.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55There's to be a sweeping review of university funding in England
0:01:55 > 0:01:57in the light of growing concern about the affordability
0:01:57 > 0:01:59of tuition fees.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01The Prime Minister, who launched the review today,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04said she was not in favour of scrapping tuition fees,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07which is the policy supported by Labour, but she acknowledged
0:02:07 > 0:02:10the "serious concerns" of students and their families,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13faced with what she admitted was "one of the most expensive
0:02:13 > 0:02:16systems of university tuition in the world."
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The review will take a year to complete, as our political editor
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Laura Kuenssberg reports from Derby.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's not me learning, it's just me coping.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I do believe education should be free.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28It's too much, basically.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30It's too much.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36Big dreams but big debts.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38These Derby first-years aren't paying fees upfront but expecting
0:02:38 > 0:02:42to owe nearly £40,000 when they're done.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44We are the next generation.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47If you want us to have a high-paying job, we need some way
0:02:47 > 0:02:50of reaching that goal.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54And university does make a difference.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57From primary to secondary, then to college, it's absolutely free.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Why should we have to pay for uni?
0:02:59 > 0:03:06Fees tripled when Theresa May was already in the Cabinet.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09But more and more students like these sixth formers go
0:03:09 > 0:03:11to university, however tricky the subject they choose.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I did physics A-level, but that's where my physics ended.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19But after the election and Labour's popular promise
0:03:19 > 0:03:21to scrap fees altogether, the Prime Minister has concluded
0:03:21 > 0:03:24things have to change.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26All but a handful of universities charge the maximum possible fees
0:03:26 > 0:03:29for undergraduate courses.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And the level of fees charged do not relate to the cost
0:03:32 > 0:03:34or quality of the course.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37So we now have one of the most expensive systems of university
0:03:37 > 0:03:38tuition in the world.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44What she really wants is a change in attitude.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46There remains a perception that going to university is really
0:03:46 > 0:03:48the only desirable route, while going into training
0:03:48 > 0:03:51is something for other people's children.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54If we're going to succeed in building a fair society
0:03:54 > 0:03:56and a stronger economy,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59we need to throw away this outdated attitude for good.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Are you willing to say that, potentially, taxpayers
0:04:02 > 0:04:06should contribute more towards students' education?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Because, if not, won't this review dispute looking at moving money
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Because, if not, won't this review just be looking at moving money
0:04:12 > 0:04:15around in a system that you yourself admitted today has become
0:04:15 > 0:04:16just too expensive?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18It's not just about the issues of finance.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22It's also about making sure that the system we have for post-18
0:04:22 > 0:04:27education provides for every aspect of that education and provides young
0:04:27 > 0:04:30people with the route that is right for them.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Do you really think that Theresa May would have made a speech today
0:04:33 > 0:04:36if you hadn't had a message in the election that
0:04:36 > 0:04:37younger generations and their parents thought
0:04:37 > 0:04:39the Tories weren't listening?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Well, I think the truth is of course we've got to listen
0:04:42 > 0:04:48to what the electorate are saying.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51And if they are saying they think we've got this wrong,
0:04:51 > 0:04:52that's something we've got to look at.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54There could be cuts to some fees.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55But no big new spending.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Labour says it falls way short.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Well, unfortunately, this is the third time in the last
0:04:59 > 0:05:0212 months that Theresa May has announced a review of education.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03And she's letting students down.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Don't expect bold changes fast.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08This review will take a year
0:05:08 > 0:05:11and few expect it to tear up the whole system.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15This is also about the lesson voters taught Tories at the last election,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18unconvinced Conservatives had answers to the tensions
0:05:18 > 0:05:20between generations.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24And turning that round is a much bigger job indeed.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26They promised too much.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28They say they're going to do this but it never happens.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31And I'm still waiting for the things they say to happen.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I voted so that I didn't have to pay uni fees.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37If the uni was free, I would vote for them, basically.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41You'd vote for any party that said university should be free?
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Every uni student will!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Voters young and old aware that what's easy to say
0:05:48 > 0:05:50is not always easy to do.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Derby.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57As we heard, the Prime Minister described the university system
0:05:57 > 0:06:00in England as one of the most expensive in the world,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03prompting a question about the funding systems used
0:06:03 > 0:06:06by other countries and the high levels of debt amassed by some
0:06:06 > 0:06:09of the most disadvantaged students.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15Our education editor Branwen Jeffreys is here.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Our universities have a global reputation.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23But the cost of teaching in England is among the highest in the world.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27In England, tuition fees are £9,250 a year.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33In the US, publicly funded universities charge £7,650,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36although fees at elite institutions like Harvard or Yale
0:06:36 > 0:06:39are much higher.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42France charges students up to £540 and Germany has abolished
0:06:42 > 0:06:45tuition fees completely.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48In England, the system is designed for the taxpayer to pick
0:06:48 > 0:06:50up some of the bill.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Loans are written off after 30 years.
0:06:53 > 0:07:00By 2021-22, there will be £160 billion of outstanding student debt.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Some now think there needs to be more honesty about how
0:07:03 > 0:07:08the burden is shared.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12We know this money is being paid out, we know that we're not
0:07:12 > 0:07:15going to get it all paid back and yet actually, it's not appearing
0:07:15 > 0:07:21on the overall Government accounts at the moment and that's
0:07:21 > 0:07:24a deliberate policy design decision had been taken but actually
0:07:24 > 0:07:26what the committee is saying is let's be open and
0:07:26 > 0:07:27honest about that.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So are there cheaper ways to study?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Already, you can get a degree at more than 200
0:07:32 > 0:07:34further education colleges.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39130 further education colleges charge around £6,000 or less.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43A degree apprenticeship will pay as you study.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47The Prime Minister wants high-level technical education
0:07:47 > 0:07:49to have more status, but, compared to universities,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53it's been poorly funded.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59Further education, on the other hand, has had no increases
0:07:59 > 0:08:02in the funding per student even in the last 30 years and big
0:08:02 > 0:08:04cuts in the last seven or eight years relative
0:08:04 > 0:08:08to universities and schools.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11We are in a world where governments of both flavours have cut the amount
0:08:11 > 0:08:14that they spend on technical and further education relative
0:08:14 > 0:08:15to higher education and schools.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Scotland has no tuition fees for home students.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25Northern Ireland, just over £4,000.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28In Wales, fees will be 9,000 from this autumn but with very
0:08:28 > 0:08:31generous grants for living costs for the poorest students.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Students in England are still likely to borrow most
0:08:34 > 0:08:36at the end of this review.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39The National Union of Students said it feared it would only
0:08:39 > 0:08:46lead to small changes.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Many thanks again.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50A university lecturer, described by US officials
0:08:50 > 0:08:52as "the worst child exploitation offender" they'd ever
0:08:52 > 0:08:56found on the internet, has been jailed for 32 years.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Matthew Falder from Birmingham had admitted 137 offences,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02including sharing extreme child pornography and encouraging
0:09:02 > 0:09:07the rape of a child.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Sima Kotecha reports.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10So, what, what - what was it I've done?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13What is it I'm supposed to have...?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Dr Matthew Falder being arrested at his workplace last year.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20The 29-year-old spent years posing as a female artist online,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23to trick his victims into sending him naked pictures
0:09:23 > 0:09:25of themselves.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It sounds like the rap sheet from hell.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Distributing indecent images of children.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33He then researched their profiles on social media and used that
0:09:33 > 0:09:36information to blackmail them into sending him
0:09:36 > 0:09:38more obscene images.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41He even installed secret cameras in people's homes,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45to film them in the shower and using the toilet.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Falder contacted more than 300 people worldwide.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53One of his victims told us she can no longer trust anyone.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I was ashamed of what I've done.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00All relationships broke down.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02You can't be friends with someone that doesn't trust
0:10:02 > 0:10:06you and I didn't trust them.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Even though they did nothing wrong, and I did nothing wrong,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12there was no trust any more.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Last year, he pleaded guilty to 137 charges -
0:10:16 > 0:10:18including encouraging the rape of a child
0:10:18 > 0:10:21and possessing a paedophile manual.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Today, he was sentenced to more than 30 years.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29The feeling of helplessness that he embodied in the victims
0:10:29 > 0:10:32and then took them to a place where they never wanted to go,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34is truly horrific.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36And, I mean, you know, those videos will be with me
0:10:36 > 0:10:39and the team probably for the rest of our lives.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Falder was under surveillance for several months during
0:10:41 > 0:10:43a four-year investigation.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45The Cambridge graduate was identified by the
0:10:45 > 0:10:47National Crime Agency.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49It worked with partner agencies across the world, including
0:10:49 > 0:10:53the Australian Federal Police and Homeland Security in America,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57to find the man who was behind the messages.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Falder was one of the most prolific child exploitation offenders
0:11:00 > 0:11:03and blackmailers we'd ever seen in the UK, or even in the US.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07So it just became...
0:11:07 > 0:11:11The volume of victims and the techniques that
0:11:11 > 0:11:14were employed and the discipline that was employed by Falder
0:11:14 > 0:11:17on the internet, to not be identified and not be caught
0:11:17 > 0:11:18was something we had never seen before.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Falder lived in this block of flats.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23He worked at Birmingham University.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Now, officers say his motivation was power and control.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30He wanted his victims to feel embarrassed and humiliated,
0:11:30 > 0:11:35and he was confident he could outwit the authorities.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38He contacted vulnerable people seeking work on websites.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43He then used names such as "666devil" and "evilmind"
0:11:43 > 0:11:46on the dark net to communicate with other paedophiles.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Have you sent pictures of your blackmail victims to the parents?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53No comment.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Of the victim to the grandparents?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56No comment.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58When questioned, Falder didn't cooperate.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Today, the judge called him an "internet highway man"
0:12:01 > 0:12:05who robbed his victims of their security and dignity.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07The paedophile showed no remorse or emotion
0:12:07 > 0:12:09throughout the proceedings.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Birmingham.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20Our correspondent Angus Crawford is here with me.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25What is it about this case and the outcome that represents such a
0:12:25 > 0:12:30breakthrough for all of the officers involved?Indeed, the National Crime
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Agency says it is a watershed moment, showing that multiple
0:12:34 > 0:12:37agencies across multiple countries could work together to bring Falder
0:12:37 > 0:12:41to justice. The dark net poses unique problems the law enforcement,
0:12:41 > 0:12:45the sites are hidden by encryption, users are always anonymous and to
0:12:45 > 0:12:49actually access the inner workings of the sites, you have to post
0:12:49 > 0:12:53illegal imagery and law enforcement can't do that. Abusers tend to
0:12:53 > 0:13:02barter images
0:13:02 > 0:13:05barter images they can't sell, so there is no money Trail for law
0:13:05 > 0:13:07enforcement to follow. Abusers make mistakes and Falder's mistakes were
0:13:07 > 0:13:09spotted by the FBI unspotted by the new joint unit between GCHQ and the
0:13:09 > 0:13:13National crime unit, so it is a big success for them but, and a very big
0:13:13 > 0:13:17but, the scale of the problem is still huge. One dark at child-abuse
0:13:17 > 0:13:21site closed down last year had tens of thousands of members.Angus
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Crawford, thank you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Drivers working for Oxfam in the months after the earthquake
0:13:26 > 0:13:28in Haiti in 2010 were forced to bring prostitutes
0:13:28 > 0:13:31to the charity's premises or risk losing their jobs,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33according to one source who's spoken to the BBC.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Oxfam has today published an investigation which found that
0:13:38 > 0:13:39three of its employees physically threatened a witness
0:13:39 > 0:13:41during an investigation into sexual misconduct,
0:13:41 > 0:13:47as our diplomatic correspondent James Landale reports.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49NEWSREEL:..and its operations have become an industry that's
0:13:49 > 0:13:51spread into 80 countries.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54For more than half a century, Oxfam's been helping those in need,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57such as these victims of conflict in Nigeria in the late 1960s.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00But that hard-earned reputation's been put at risk by the behaviour
0:14:00 > 0:14:05of some of the charity's staff in Haiti in 2011.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08The internal report says that one was dismissed and three resigned
0:14:08 > 0:14:10for what it describes as "using prostitutes
0:14:10 > 0:14:13on Oxfam premises".
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Two more were dismissed for bullying and intimidation,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19one of whom, the report says, also downloaded pornography,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23and another man was sacked for failing to protect staff.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25A source who was aware of the investigation,
0:14:25 > 0:14:29and in Haiti at the time, told the BBC that drivers
0:14:29 > 0:14:32were forced to deliver prostitutes to Oxfam villas.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36We have protected his identity.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39They were having parties over there that were described as orgies,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42with a smorgasbord of women, girls, wearing Oxfam T-shirts,
0:14:42 > 0:14:49and it would go on all night.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50We were told they were underage.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52The security guards, the drivers, were talking
0:14:52 > 0:14:53about it, but not directly.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Indirectly, because if they talked to anyone about it,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59they would lose their jobs.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Today, the BBC caught up with one of those dismissed from Oxfam
0:15:03 > 0:15:07for gross misconduct in Haiti.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10We can name him as Raphael Mutiku, a Kenyan aid worker who is based
0:15:10 > 0:15:13outside the capital, Nairobi.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Were you with Mr Roland Van Hauwermeiren?
0:15:14 > 0:15:15No.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Why were you let go by Oxfam?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Oxfam's report says Roland Van Hauwermeiren,
0:15:21 > 0:15:28its country director in Haiti, admitted using prostitutes.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30He's spoken of "lies and exaggeration".
0:15:30 > 0:15:33But it also says he was allowed to resign with dignity and a month's
0:15:33 > 0:15:35pay, because dismissing him would have damaged
0:15:35 > 0:15:36the investigation.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38The BBC source challenges that account.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41They didn't need him to stay and help with the investigation.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43As far as I'm concerned, Roland was not part
0:15:43 > 0:15:46of the investigation team.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Roland, from all accounts, owned up to his own behaviour,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51which alone is enough.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56The BBC has been told Oxfam refused to tell another aid agency why
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Mr Van Hauwermeiren had resigned,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02when they were thinking of hiring him.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Oxfam said it was legally constrained but would have liked
0:16:05 > 0:16:08to have said more and will be giving no references until a register
0:16:08 > 0:16:11of aid workers is set up.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Today, a senior Oxfam official travelled to Haiti to apologise
0:16:14 > 0:16:17and expressed the charity's shame directly to ministers and share more
0:16:17 > 0:16:21information about what went on.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The Haitian Government has launched its own investigation.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Tomorrow, senior executives from the charity will
0:16:25 > 0:16:28face MPs in Parliament.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31The questions for Oxfam keep on coming.
0:16:31 > 0:16:38James Landale, BBC News.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40The former football coach Barry Bennell has been described
0:16:40 > 0:16:42as "the Devil incarnate" by a judge at Liverpool Crown Court
0:16:42 > 0:16:45who jailed him for 30 years for abusing young footballers
0:16:45 > 0:16:49between 1979 and 1991.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52The former Crewe Alexandra coach and Manchester City scout
0:16:52 > 0:16:58was convicted of 50 child sexual offences, but an additional
0:16:59 > 0:17:02They came seeking closure - the victims of Barry Bennell,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04accompanied by their families, arriving at court for the sentencing
0:17:04 > 0:17:10of British sport's most notorious paedophile.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Their abuser, meanwhile, arriving by different entrance
0:17:11 > 0:17:17after being found guilty of 50 counts of child sex crimes.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Having appeared throughout his trial via videolink due to ill health,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25today Bennell was here in person as he was handed a 31-year
0:17:25 > 0:17:27prison sentence.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30The 64-year-old, impassive as he sat staring at the floor in the dock
0:17:30 > 0:17:31as his punishment was read out.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Inside court, the cries of "yes" from the public gallery were hushed.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Outside, the emotion able to flow.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Today we looked evil in the face and we smiled.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Because, Barry Bennell, we have won.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Today, we hand our shame, and our guilt, and our
0:17:48 > 0:17:51sadness back to you.
0:17:51 > 0:17:58It should never have been ours to carry in the first place.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Sentencing Bennell, Judge Clement Goldston told him,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02"To these boys you appeared as a god.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04In reality you were the devil incarnate.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05You stole their childhoods and their innocence
0:18:05 > 0:18:09to satisfy your perversion."
0:18:09 > 0:18:14His abuse, the judge said, was sheer evil.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Several of the former football coach's numerous victims read out
0:18:16 > 0:18:18impact statements in court.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Among them Gary Cliffe, abused by Bennell when he played
0:18:20 > 0:18:23for a Manchester City junior team.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25In a bid to force Bennell to make eye contact,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Cliffe approached the dock after his statement,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29asking, "Why, Barry, why?", before being led away
0:18:29 > 0:18:31by an official.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35What was that experience like for you?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I was churned up inside, Dan, but I was determined
0:18:37 > 0:18:39that this was my moment, I didn't want to
0:18:39 > 0:18:42regret not doing it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So I stood up there, you were in court and saw it, I said
0:18:45 > 0:18:48my words directed towards him.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Another 86 people have made complaints against the former
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra youth team coach.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57And amid hundreds of allegations against other suspects,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59both are among the clubs braced for civil lawsuits.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01The ramifications of British football's gravest
0:19:01 > 0:19:03crisis are far from over.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Dan Roan, BBC News, Liverpool.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Every year, at least 2.5 million newborn babies
0:19:11 > 0:19:13around the world fail to live for more than a month.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Many of those deaths are preventable,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19according to a report published tonight by Unicef.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It says better access to midwives and basics such as clean water
0:19:22 > 0:19:26and decent nutrition could radically alter the lives
0:19:26 > 0:19:28of hundreds of thousands of newborn babies.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Rates of mortality vary dramatically according to location.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38In a moment, we'll have a report from Rajini Vaidyanathan in India,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41and one from our correspondent in Malawi, Lebo Diseko -
0:19:41 > 0:19:48but, first, Rupert Wingfield-Hayes on the situation in Japan.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58This is a beautiful four-day-old baby girl.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01In the lottery of birth she has just hit the jackpot.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07In Japan, the chance of a baby dying in its
0:20:07 > 0:20:10first month of life is the lowest in the world.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Hello.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Please come in.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It helps that her mum lives in a rich country
0:20:20 > 0:20:21with excellent health care.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24But there are two things that set Japan apart.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27The first is this little book.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Every baby in Japan gets one.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It will trace her development from the womb until she
0:20:33 > 0:20:41is six years old.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Second, there are lots of monthly checks.
0:20:43 > 0:20:51The first stage, until six months of pregnancy,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I go once every four weeks.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57After that I go twice in a month.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02And now I am the last month of pregnancy and I go once a week.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05This is a truly remarkable success story for Japan because just 70
0:21:05 > 0:21:10years ago, in 1950, Japan's infant mortality rate was 50 deaths per
0:21:10 > 0:21:14thousand live births.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Today, for the first time, with these new figures
0:21:16 > 0:21:19being published, Japan is the first country ever recorded to go below
0:21:19 > 0:21:27one death per thousand live births.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31In India where a fifth of all the world's babies are born
0:21:31 > 0:21:36the chances of survival are much lower than in Japan.
0:21:36 > 0:21:42On average 68 newborns die in this country every hour.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46This woman gave birth to a baby girl three weeks ago.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49She has been in the specialist unit in Bhopal ever since.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Many babies end up here because their mothers are
0:21:51 > 0:21:53malnourished and don't get proper medical care during pregnancy.
0:21:53 > 0:22:00The situation is worse in remote areas.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Six hours north I meet this mother with her young son.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Last month she gave birth to his sister.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09TRANSLATION:When she was born she would vomit every time
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I tried to breast-feed.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13One hospital turned us away.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Another asked for more money.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21But the time we went back to get the payment she died.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24It was the second baby she had lost.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Access to quality health care is a key factor when it
0:22:27 > 0:22:29comes to newborn deaths here in India.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32For many people it is still simply out of reach.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35You only have to come to rural areas to see the
0:22:35 > 0:22:38impact that is having.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Doctors say the specialist units are improving survival rates
0:22:41 > 0:22:44but in a country where so many babies are born too
0:22:44 > 0:22:47many are still dying.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55This is Agnes.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Being born in Malawi means she has a much better chance of survival.
0:22:59 > 0:23:06Newborn deaths have nearly halved in 16 years.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Simple changes have helped, like discouraging woman
0:23:08 > 0:23:14from giving birth at home.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16TRANSLATION:The difference is huge.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Here you are supported.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Because at home you could be losing blood but
0:23:20 > 0:23:23here if you are losing blood they give you an injection and if there
0:23:23 > 0:23:26are any other problems the doctor can help.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31Premature babies are especially at risk.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Here, doctors are teaching mothers the kangaroo method
0:23:33 > 0:23:37which helps keep these underweight babies warm using body heat.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Child marriage and the resulting pregnancies are a particular problem
0:23:40 > 0:23:48and can lead to early birth.
0:23:48 > 0:23:5080% of Malawians live in rural areas, which means
0:23:50 > 0:23:54if you are going to have your baby in a clinic you have got to walk.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58But the bigger picture is things have got better.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Unicef says it's because Malawi has been open
0:24:00 > 0:24:01to new ideas.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04And other developing countries may want to follow that
0:24:04 > 0:24:09path to give newborns a better chance in life.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Lebo Diseko in Malawi, ending that series of reports
0:24:11 > 0:24:16on infant mortality.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18The leaders of nine British cities among them Glasgow,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Cardiff and Bristol have held talks in Brussels today with
0:24:21 > 0:24:29the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The city mayors insist they're not interfering with the UK Government's
0:24:32 > 0:24:35negotiations but want to make the case for more European money
0:24:35 > 0:24:43and power to be devolved to the UK's regions after Brexit.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Our home editor Mark Easton reports.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50They've not been able to get a meeting about Brexit
0:24:50 > 0:24:52with the UK Government, but today the leaders of British
0:24:52 > 0:24:54cities, both those that voted Leave and Remain,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57travelled to Brussels to talk to the man on the other side
0:24:57 > 0:24:59of the negotiating table, the European Union's chief
0:24:59 > 0:25:00negotiator, Michel Barnier.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Really important to emphasise that we're not here to undermine
0:25:03 > 0:25:04the Government's negotiations.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Brexit is happening next year.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09The cities have got a really clear agenda in terms of how we can move
0:25:09 > 0:25:11things forward on behalf of our citizens.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13And we're here to start the ball rolling today.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And what do you think of the ship?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Marvin Rees is Mayor of Bristol, where almost two thirds
0:25:17 > 0:25:18of voters were for Remain.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21He believes local people want to be reassured that,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23in its talks with the EU, central government will reflect
0:25:23 > 0:25:26the concerns of this proud trading city.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29The voices of cities, the voices of particular sectors,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31even, are not being heard, not being sought, and
0:25:31 > 0:25:33are not being reflected.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Our job, as city leaders, is to make sure that those voices
0:25:36 > 0:25:40are heard and that it's not just a Westminster Brexit.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42We manufacture safety valves, we manufacture
0:25:42 > 0:25:44liquid level gauges...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47The boss of this precision engineering company says EU
0:25:47 > 0:25:51membership has protected quality and reduced red tape.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53The kind of Brexit Britain negotiates is vital,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55he says, for his business.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Central government is very removed from our concerns.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00They don't have time to understand the detailed,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03very detailed issues that affect us.
0:26:03 > 0:26:10We are looking for a mechanism to get our voice heard.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12The argument of leaders in cities like Bristol is that Brexit
0:26:12 > 0:26:18is an opportunity to devolve power away from the centre.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20For local people to take back control from Westminster,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23as well as Brussels.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26For more than an hour, Michel Barnier listened
0:26:26 > 0:26:28to the concerns and the hopes of city leaders representing
0:26:28 > 0:26:30a quarter of the UK economy.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33But, for them, the Brexit negotiator they really want to talk
0:26:33 > 0:26:36to now is in London.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40From this, we will go back to Government and say, look,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42we have an enormous amount to contribute to the discussions,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45to the negotiations.
0:26:45 > 0:26:53Let's get around the table and talk urgently, because the clock
0:26:54 > 0:26:56is ticking.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Britain's Department for Exiting the EU says it does meet
0:26:59 > 0:27:00with stakeholders from local and regional government.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02But these city leaders say they want to make sure that power
0:27:02 > 0:27:05and influence over Brexit is not only in the hands of
0:27:05 > 0:27:06a Westminster elite.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Mark Easton, BBC News, Brussels.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10The fast food chain KFC has temporarily closed around
0:27:10 > 0:27:11600 restaurants across the UK and Ireland
0:27:11 > 0:27:14after delivery problems meant a shortage of chicken.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17KFC said it had been let down by a logistics company
0:27:17 > 0:27:19that took over its supply chain last week,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22as our correspondent Jon Kay reports.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27NOOOOO!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30When you've been promised KFC as a half term treat
0:27:30 > 0:27:32but there is no chicken.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Nine-year-old Maxine is not happy.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Angry.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Sad.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42And disappointed.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43And hungry?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Very hungry!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Are you more hungry or angry?
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Hungry!
0:27:49 > 0:27:53It's not just Maxine's local outlet.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Hundreds across the UK are shut because KF has no C.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00They've run out of chicken.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Pretty shocking, really, to be fair.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Pretty shocking.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Especially when you're hungry, like, you know what I mean?
0:28:06 > 0:28:12KFC have blamed teething problems with the new delivery contract.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15They switched to DHL last week, who say operational issues have
0:28:15 > 0:28:17disrupted the supply.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20It's a chicken place, so they should have enough chicken.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22They should be able to store it.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24It's a big chain, so it does seem unbelievable, really.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27All the chicken...
0:28:27 > 0:28:33There's farmers, surely there should be enough chickens.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35We tried several outlets across Bristol today but found no
0:28:35 > 0:28:39fingers being licked.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Almost every store closed.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It's lunchtime.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46You'd expect these hatches to be really busy at this point
0:28:46 > 0:28:53but the kitchen is empty, the fryers switched off.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Chicken with fries, please.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Chicken with fries.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57It's a far cry from this.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Tonight, the company is encouraging staff to take holidays until it can
0:29:00 > 0:29:04meet the demand again.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07KFC says its own employees will be paid, but the large majority
0:29:07 > 0:29:12of restaurants are franchises.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13It just seems amazing.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15I thought everything was pretty much automated these
0:29:15 > 0:29:17days and as they use chicken, more's ordered.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22Something has gone seriously wrong.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24The company says it's working flat out to rectify the problem.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26But, for some, that is little consolation.
0:29:26 > 0:29:34Jon Kay, BBC News.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Football - and there has been a big upset tonight in the fifth
0:29:37 > 0:29:38round of the FA Cup.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Wigan Athletic from League One have beaten the Premier League leaders,
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Manchester City, by one goal to nil.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45The only goal was scored by Will Grigg.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Manchester City had been reduced to ten men after Fabian Delph
0:29:48 > 0:29:55was given a straight red card for a tackle in the first half.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58On Day 10 of the Winter Olympics in South Korea, an anti-doping case
0:29:58 > 0:30:00has been opened against a Russian competitior.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Alexander Krushelnitsky, who won Bronze in the curling,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06was one of 168 Russian athletes judged to be "clean".
0:30:06 > 0:30:08He's suspected of using a banned substance.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Meanwhile, Team GB's women's curling team have been making progress
0:30:10 > 0:30:12towards the medal rounds,
0:30:12 > 0:30:16as Andy Swiss reports from Pyeongchang.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19The first ever bronze medal in mixed doubles curling...
0:30:19 > 0:30:22From delight to a doping controversy.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Barely a week after celebrating a bronze medal alongside his wife,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Anastasia, Alexander Krushelnitskiy could now be stripped of it.
0:30:27 > 0:30:35But his is a case with far broader implications.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Bronze medallist Olympic athletes from Russia...
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Krushelnitskiy is Russian.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39His country is banned from these games because of...
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Guess what?
0:30:40 > 0:30:47A huge doping scandal.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Olympic organisers allowed him and 160 other Russians
0:30:49 > 0:30:50to compete as neutrals.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Now, though, it is an all too familiar story.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56There was very good pregames testing, where, for example,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58the Russian athletes were tested to a significant level
0:30:58 > 0:31:01more than others.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05But when an athlete...
0:31:05 > 0:31:07In the broadest sense, when an athlete is caught
0:31:07 > 0:31:09for doping, if caught, it is extremely disappointing,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11but it does show that the system works.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Well, the decision to allow Russian athletes to compete here,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16albeit as neutrals, attracted criticism before the Games,
0:31:16 > 0:31:20so this positive test raises some uncomfortable questions
0:31:20 > 0:31:24for the Olympic authorities.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26It's very frustrating that halfway through the Games
0:31:26 > 0:31:28those stories come back.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30You don't want any positive tests in any Olympics,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33but for it to be an athlete from a country that you were told
0:31:33 > 0:31:37all the athletes would be clean, it's hard news to take.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Away from the controversy in the curling, there
0:31:39 > 0:31:40was encouraging news for Britain's teams.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Victories for both the men and women boosting their hopes
0:31:43 > 0:31:46of the semifinals.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47On the snow, though, Aimee Fuller's hopes here
0:31:47 > 0:31:50came to a painful end.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55The event is called big air, but in this case, not quite enough.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00She later posted this photo, bruised, but thankfully no worse.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02But the day's biggest drama was in the two-man bobsleigh.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Oh, it's a dead heat!
0:32:04 > 0:32:07It is a dead heat!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Canada and Germany sharing the gold.
0:32:09 > 0:32:17On a difficult day for the games, a welcome show of Olympic spirit.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24It is now Tuesday morning in Pyeongchang. The biggest drama today
0:32:24 > 0:32:29could be in the speed skating. Will Elise Christie be fit to race in the
0:32:29 > 0:32:341000 metres? She has crashed in both of her events so far. The British
0:32:34 > 0:32:38team will be hoping it just might be third time lucky.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39That's it.
0:32:39 > 0:33:04Now on BBC one it's time for the news where you are.
