0:00:08 > 0:00:10Tonight at Ten: Another plunge in relations between Britain

0:00:10 > 0:00:12and Russia, as Boris Johnson compares President Putin

0:00:12 > 0:00:15to Adolf Hitler.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18In Moscow, foreign diplomats are summoned to hear an official

0:00:18 > 0:00:20denial of any involvement in the chemical attack

0:00:20 > 0:00:23which happened in Salisbury.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26During the day, as inspectors continued their investigation

0:00:26 > 0:00:29in the Salisbury area, the Foreign Secretary suggested that

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Russia would use the forthcoming World Cup like Adolf Hitler had used

0:00:32 > 0:00:36the Olympics in 1936.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40What is going to happen in Moscow, in the World Cup, in all the venues,

0:00:40 > 0:00:46yes, I think the comparison with 1936 is certainly right.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49We'll have reaction from Moscow and from Washington,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51where President Trump has congratulated Mr Putin

0:00:51 > 0:00:52on his re-election.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Also tonight:

0:00:55 > 0:00:58More than a million NHS workers in England are set to get pay

0:00:58 > 0:01:02rises worth at least 6.5% over three years.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05It's nice for us to be recognised for all that hard work.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08But, obviously, it doesn't detract away from the last few

0:01:08 > 0:01:12years, where we actually haven't had anything.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Mark Zuckerberg has admitted that Facebook made mistakes

0:01:14 > 0:01:19in mishandling data belonging to some 50 million of its users.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21A senior police officer says the rise in people killed

0:01:21 > 0:01:27and injured by knife crime should be causing far more public concern.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30And a family from Bristol is set a challenge -

0:01:30 > 0:01:32to see if they can live without single-use

0:01:32 > 0:01:38plastic for ten days.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39Coming up on BBC News.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Fresh from his first tournament victory in 18 months,

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Rory McIlroy struggles in his first match since at the World

0:01:44 > 0:01:52Matchplay in Texas.

0:02:03 > 0:02:08Good evening.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11The tensions between Britain and Russia have deepened

0:02:11 > 0:02:15following Boris Johnson's latest reflections on the chemical

0:02:15 > 0:02:17attack in Salisbury, when a former Russian spy

0:02:17 > 0:02:19and his daughter were poisoned.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20The Foreign Secretary - answering questions

0:02:20 > 0:02:24from a parliamentary committee - drew parallels between

0:02:24 > 0:02:29President Putin and Adolf Hitler, and suggested that Mr Putin

0:02:29 > 0:02:32would try to use the forthcoming football World Cup in Russia in much

0:02:32 > 0:02:36the same way that Adolf Hitler used the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.

0:02:36 > 0:02:42Moscow said that Mr Johnson was "poisoned with hatred and malice."

0:02:42 > 0:02:46Our Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, has more details.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51It was an invitation that some had refused.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54REPORTER:Ambassador, why are you taking part in this meeting?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57But these foreign diplomats had accepted, to come and hear

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Moscow's side of the story on the nerve agent attack.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Britain sent a diplomat to the Foreign Ministry,

0:03:02 > 0:03:05but the British Ambassador stayed away.

0:03:05 > 0:03:10This is what he missed.

0:03:10 > 0:03:18TRANSLATION:The British authorities are either unable to ensure

0:03:19 > 0:03:21protection from such a terrorist act on their territory

0:03:21 > 0:03:22or they themselves,

0:03:22 > 0:03:24directly or indirectly, I'm not accusing anyone,

0:03:24 > 0:03:26have directed this attack against a Russian citizen.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Hello my name is Emma Nottingham, I'm from the British Embassy.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32Off camera, the British diplomat hits back.

0:03:32 > 0:03:39Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with a military

0:03:39 > 0:03:41grade Novichok nerve agent of a type developed by Russia,

0:03:41 > 0:03:49in what we see as an attempted assassination attempt.

0:03:54 > 0:04:02"What's going on in their heads", he replies.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04"Take a break from your Russophobia and your island mentality."

0:04:04 > 0:04:06ARCHIVE:Berlin's great day dawns with the arrival

0:04:06 > 0:04:07of the Olympic Flame...

0:04:07 > 0:04:10In Britain, a Labour MP suggested that Vladimir Putin would use

0:04:10 > 0:04:12the World Cup like Adolf Hitler had used the 1936 Olympics -

0:04:12 > 0:04:15to cover up, as he put it, a brutal, corrupt regime.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16The Foreign Secretary agreed.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19I think the comparison with 1936 is certainly right and I think it's

0:04:19 > 0:04:21an emetic prospect, frankly, to think of Putin glorying

0:04:21 > 0:04:28in this sporting event.

0:04:28 > 0:04:35Tonight, Moscow reacted to Boris Johnson's comments with fury.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38The Russian Foreign Ministry said the Foreign Secretary was "poisoned

0:04:38 > 0:04:42with hatred and malice, incompetence and loutishness."

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Meanwhile, Russia's propaganda machine tries

0:04:44 > 0:04:52to discredit Sergei Skripal.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57We witnessed this bizarre webcast, where two convicted murderers

0:04:57 > 0:05:00claimed to be ex-cellmates of the former double agent.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03On air they accused him of drug addiction, even paedophilia.

0:05:03 > 0:05:11But after the show, one of them admits to me he saw nothing.

0:05:17 > 0:05:18"It was just empty gossip."

0:05:18 > 0:05:20The poisoning in Salisbury has spawned an information war,

0:05:20 > 0:05:21one Moscow is determined to win.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Steve Rosenberg, BBC News, Moscow.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28In a moment we'll speak to our North America editor,

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Jon Sopel, but first to our diplomatic

0:05:30 > 0:05:34correspondent, James Landale, at the Foreign Office.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37James, what is your reading of relations between London and Moscow

0:05:37 > 0:05:43right now?Well, Huw, in recent days there have been Harare shall words

0:05:43 > 0:05:46between Russian and British politicians. Comparing Vladimir

0:05:46 > 0:05:53Putin to Adolf Hitler probably tops the list. To realise just how

0:05:53 > 0:05:56incendiary the comparison is you have to remember millions upon

0:05:56 > 0:06:00millions of Russians died fighting Adolf Hitler's Nazis. Now the

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Foreign Office here has been keen to keep this an international

0:06:04 > 0:06:08confrontation, they have been marshalling allies against what they

0:06:08 > 0:06:11see as Russia's international pattern of aggressive material. That

0:06:11 > 0:06:17is why the British Government hasn't retaliated against Russia's decision

0:06:17 > 0:06:21to expel 23 British diplomats. They want to keep it from being seen as

0:06:21 > 0:06:25some kind of bilateral spat between London and Moscow. The problem, is

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Mr Johnson's remarks risk doing exactly that. Tomorrow, when Theresa

0:06:28 > 0:06:33May goes to Brussels, she will have just a little bit more work to do to

0:06:33 > 0:06:36reassure European allies who might be feeling a bit fearful now of

0:06:36 > 0:06:41getting caught up in an increasingly diplomatic cross fire between London

0:06:41 > 0:06:45and Moscow.James many thanks, James Landale at the Foreign Office for

0:06:45 > 0:06:50us. Straight to Washington and Jon Sopel is there. Jon, is it fair to

0:06:50 > 0:06:53say the signals from The White House towards Moscow are slightly conle

0:06:53 > 0:06:58conning?If I was allowed to scratch my head on the Ten O'Clock News I

0:06:58 > 0:07:02would. Frankly, it's bewildering the mixed messages we are getting.

0:07:02 > 0:07:12Donald Trump in the past couple hoursals tweeted -- hours has

0:07:12 > 0:07:18tweeted. Forget the fake news media we know as a result of a leak from

0:07:18 > 0:07:22The White House that his own briefing document counselling

0:07:22 > 0:07:24against congratulating Putin put because there are questions marks

0:07:24 > 0:07:28over whether it was a free and fair election. Many Republicans are

0:07:28 > 0:07:33furious with the President over this. But then the President had a

0:07:33 > 0:07:36conversation with Emmanuel Macron today. This is the official readout

0:07:36 > 0:07:40from the White House, "the President reiterated their solidarity with the

0:07:40 > 0:07:45United Kingdom in the wake of Russia's use of chemical weapons

0:07:45 > 0:07:49against private citizens on British soil and agreed on the need to take

0:07:49 > 0:07:54action to hold Russia accountable." One interpretation is that you have

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Donald Trump looking both ways in regard to Russia policy. The other

0:07:58 > 0:08:01way of looking at it is that he's not critical of Vladimir Putin at

0:08:01 > 0:08:08all.Jon, many thanks again. Jon Sopel, our North America editor

0:08:08 > 0:08:12there in Washington.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15More than a million NHS workers in England can expect pay rises

0:08:15 > 0:08:17if they agree to a deal agreed between most trades unions

0:08:17 > 0:08:18and the Government.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22The past five years have seen a pay cap and a pay freeze.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25The deal would see wages increase between 6.5% and 29% over the next

0:08:25 > 0:08:27three years with the exception of doctors, dentists

0:08:27 > 0:08:30and senior leaders.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34The biggest rises would go to those on the lowest end of the scale -

0:08:34 > 0:08:37cleaners, porters and catering staff - who will see an immediate

0:08:37 > 0:08:41£2,000 added to their pay packets this year.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45The salary increases are expected to cost around £4 billion,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47but won't come out of the NHS budget, they will come

0:08:47 > 0:08:49from Treasury funds.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, has more details.

0:08:54 > 0:09:00Porters, paramedics, nurses, who care for millions of patients.

0:09:00 > 0:09:07The staff who keep the NHS going are finally to have a bigger pay rise.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's nice for us to be recognised for all that hard work.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12But obviously, it doesn't detract away from the last few

0:09:12 > 0:09:14years, where we actually haven't had anything.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Most of us live on a strict budget.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19That can ease off a bit and the future will look

0:09:19 > 0:09:20better and brighter.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22I have two young children, so having this pay rise will help

0:09:22 > 0:09:24out even more with childcare, things like that.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27I'll be able to do more things.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Scrap the cap! Scrap the cap!

0:09:30 > 0:09:35For five years, there have been calls to do just that.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Aside from some automatic rises, the limit on public-sector

0:09:38 > 0:09:42pay increases, of 1%, meant wages fell behind.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45THE SPEAKER:The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care,

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Secretary Jeremy Hunt.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49And the election left the Tories in no doubt about the irritation.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51So...

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Today's agreement on a new pay deal reflects public appreciation

0:09:53 > 0:09:56for just how much they have done and continue to do.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Rarely has a pay raise been so well-deserved for NHS staff,

0:09:59 > 0:10:03who have never worked harder.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06When a nurse pleaded with the Prime Minister for a pay

0:10:06 > 0:10:09rise on national television, she was told there was

0:10:09 > 0:10:15no magic money tree.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18So, can he tell us how this pay rise will be paid for?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Has the Prime Minister's horticultural skills grown

0:10:20 > 0:10:23said magic money tree?

0:10:23 > 0:10:28Taxpayers' money for the rises will come from the Treasury to start

0:10:28 > 0:10:31with, not out of existing health budgets, so the big

0:10:31 > 0:10:33unions are on board.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's not solved the problems, it's a start, and we would expect it

0:10:36 > 0:10:40to be the start of a new process that recognises the hard work

0:10:40 > 0:10:42of our nurses and our people who work in our health service,

0:10:42 > 0:10:45that recognises the value and that we value those

0:10:45 > 0:10:48people for what we do.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51But staff still have to approve the deal.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54And with inflation, it might not make up the difference.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think the devil is in the detail, and our members that met

0:10:57 > 0:10:58yesterday were absolutely going through the details

0:10:58 > 0:11:01and couldn't see how this was going to claw back years

0:11:01 > 0:11:06of pay cuts.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10Perhaps for NHS staff in England, these rises can't come fast enough.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Remember, limits on pay have been in place for years -

0:11:14 > 0:11:16part of the Conservatives' efforts to balance the nation's books.

0:11:16 > 0:11:22But public money will still be tight.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25This is an easing of a squeeze, not the end.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29Scotland and Wales are likely to follow the Westminster move,

0:11:29 > 0:11:32and it adds volume to calls for rises in other parts

0:11:32 > 0:11:36of the public sector.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Money round here's still tight, but the cap no longer fits.

0:11:39 > 0:11:46Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Facebook has admitted making mistakes in midhandling data

0:11:50 > 0:11:53belonging to some 50 million of its users.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, in his first response

0:11:56 > 0:11:59to the controversy over the use of data, has promised tougher steps

0:11:59 > 0:12:01to prevent what he called "bad actors" from getting access

0:12:01 > 0:12:05to people's private information.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Facebook, the world's biggest social media network,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10is facing growing pressure in Europe and the United States

0:12:10 > 0:12:13about allegations that a British firm, Cambridge Analytica,

0:12:13 > 0:12:15accessed users' information for political purposes,

0:12:15 > 0:12:20notably to help Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

0:12:20 > 0:12:27Our business editor, Simon Jack, has the latest.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg broke his silence tonight

0:12:29 > 0:12:36on a scandal that has engulfed the social media giant.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39In a Facebook post, he said the company had a responsibility

0:12:39 > 0:12:41to protect your data and admitted the company had made mistakes.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44He described how a British academic had invented an app inviting

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Facebook users to do a personality test.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47300,000 people downloaded it, it collected personal

0:12:47 > 0:12:50information on them and also all of their Facebook friends,

0:12:50 > 0:12:53harvesting data on 50 million users.

0:12:53 > 0:12:58That data was obtained by a British consultancy,

0:12:58 > 0:13:05Cambridge Analytica, in 2014 - a move Zuckerberg

0:13:07 > 0:13:10described tonight as "a breach of trust" - and it was later

0:13:10 > 0:13:11allegedly used in the Trump election campaign.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14A campaign the company's executive took a lot of credit

0:13:14 > 0:13:16for when secretly filmed, an apparent shock to

0:13:16 > 0:13:17the original app designer.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Never in our wildest dreams did we think anything we did would be

0:13:20 > 0:13:22used in the Donald Trump campaign.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25This is 2014, well before anybody would think Mr Trump would be

0:13:25 > 0:13:31a serious candidate.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35So, at the time, like, I didn't know who their clients were going to be,

0:13:35 > 0:13:37I didn't really know the specific use case.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40I did know it was going to be used for political purposes,

0:13:40 > 0:13:43but beyond that, you know, it was well above my pay grade.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44Should have asked!

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Could this small consultancy really have altered

0:13:46 > 0:13:48the course of US history?

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Unlikely, says a man who worked on Barack Obama's 2008 election.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56Data can be misused to increase divisions and stoke fears

0:13:56 > 0:14:04as they themselves have said, and that is why it needs to be

0:14:04 > 0:14:06regulated more carefully, and ethical behaviour needs

0:14:06 > 0:14:07to be enforced.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10But elections are decided by a whole range of factors and I think

0:14:10 > 0:14:11Cambridge Analytica over claimed their impact.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Zuckerberg says Facebook will conduct a full audit of apps

0:14:14 > 0:14:16with suspicious activity, ban apps that break the rules

0:14:16 > 0:14:19or refuse to be audited and make it harder for developers to access data

0:14:19 > 0:14:22in the future.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Perhaps the biggest change will be our awareness of what we're

0:14:25 > 0:14:29agreeing to when we hit "I agree."

0:14:29 > 0:14:32The conversation we should be having is, what happens to our data?

0:14:32 > 0:14:33How much are we comfortable to share?

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Who are we comfortable to share it with?

0:14:36 > 0:14:40And what do we think about how that's done?

0:14:40 > 0:14:42So this feels like it's been a real light bulb moment,

0:14:42 > 0:14:45where people are understanding that it's not just clicking "like"

0:14:45 > 0:14:47on Facebook, what you are doing there is giving data away.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Facebook's value has fallen by $50 billion since Monday,

0:14:50 > 0:14:52and today's announcement didn't see that reverse.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Evidence, perhaps, of lasting damage on Facebook's brand

0:14:54 > 0:14:55and its users' trust.

0:14:55 > 0:15:00Simon Jack, BBC News.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03In a moment, we'll be speaking to our economics editor,

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Kamal Ahmed, who's in Brussels to talk about the tax that big

0:15:06 > 0:15:08technology companies pay.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10But first our media editor, Amol Rajan, is at Facebook

0:15:10 > 0:15:13headquarters in California.

0:15:17 > 0:15:23What do you make of the response we got from Facebook this evening?It

0:15:23 > 0:15:27was long overdue. In fairness to Mark Zuckerberg, his reputation has

0:15:27 > 0:15:31taken a hammering over the last few days when he remained silent. I have

0:15:31 > 0:15:35been tough on him. Today he announced substantial changes like

0:15:35 > 0:15:41the restriction on data for apt development and the fact it will be

0:15:41 > 0:15:46easier for users to work out what data will be vulnerable. Those are

0:15:46 > 0:15:50significant changes. I spoke to Chris Cox, the chief product officer

0:15:50 > 0:15:56he said he was clear there had been a big breach of trust. What Mark

0:15:56 > 0:16:02Zuckerberg said in his blog post had three audiences. There was a staff

0:16:02 > 0:16:06audience, they look to Mark Zuckerberg as a deity and they are

0:16:06 > 0:16:11reassured. Over the Atlantic, questions are any beginning to be

0:16:11 > 0:16:15answered. Then there is the public. The public at large feel that the

0:16:15 > 0:16:18reputation of Facebook for safety with personal data has taken a

0:16:18 > 0:16:25hammering and it will take more than a blog post to fix that.

0:16:25 > 0:16:31Let's go now to Brussels. On the theme of these big companies under

0:16:31 > 0:16:38pressure, there is another dimension to this tonight.Absolutely.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42Controversy is for big, digital, global giants like Facebook and

0:16:42 > 0:16:47Google are not just about data, the other big issue is tax. Today the

0:16:47 > 0:16:52European Commission here in Brussels announced really radical plans to

0:16:52 > 0:16:56make these big, digital companies that operate around the world and

0:16:56 > 0:17:01here in Europe, of course, pay more tax. They want them to pay tax the

0:17:01 > 0:17:08amount of users they have, the amount of revenues they gain. The

0:17:08 > 0:17:11claim is, under these proposals, they could be paid up to £4 billion

0:17:11 > 0:17:15more tax across Europe and a chunk of that could come to Britain.

0:17:15 > 0:17:20Traditional businesses effective tax rate is about 23% with digital

0:17:20 > 0:17:25businesses effective tax rate is 9.5%. That is the issue the European

0:17:25 > 0:17:31Commission wants to solve. Will it happen? The commission I spoke to

0:17:31 > 0:17:37today said he wanted agreement by the end of the year and the UK will

0:17:37 > 0:17:41be ably participant. The Treasury has said it wants to go down this

0:17:41 > 0:17:46route. This is the big test. On data we have heard what governments and

0:17:46 > 0:17:51regulators want and contacts we have heard what governments and

0:17:51 > 0:17:56regulators want to do. The question now, by the end of the year, will

0:17:56 > 0:18:02anything really of substance change? Many thanks.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07More than 30 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack

0:18:07 > 0:18:09in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10At least 65 others were injured.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12The blast happened as crowds were leaving a shrine.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15A man charged with a series of bombings in Austin,

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Texas has died after blowing himself up in his car

0:18:17 > 0:18:19following a police chase.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23He's been named as 23-year-old Mark Conditt.

0:18:23 > 0:18:29Two people were killed in six parcel bomb attacks during the past month.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31More than 100 Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Islamist

0:18:31 > 0:18:35militants last month in the town of Dapchi have been freed.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Five girls are said to have died in captivity and another,

0:18:38 > 0:18:42the only Christian in the group, has not been released.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47The Government denies paying Boko Haram a ransom.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50The Archbishop of Canterbury has told an inquiry into child abuse

0:18:50 > 0:18:52that he is ashamed of the Church of England's handling of the issue.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Justin Welby said listening to three weeks of evidence

0:18:55 > 0:18:57about abuse in the Church had left him horrified.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59The inquiry is looking at abuse that took place

0:18:59 > 0:19:04in the diocese of Chichester.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08A senior police officer has told BBC News that the rise in people killed

0:19:08 > 0:19:12and injured by knife crime should be causing far more public concern.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15He says that because many victims are black,

0:19:15 > 0:19:18not enough is being done to prevent it.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20This year, there have been 26 fatal stabbings in London.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24The BBC has also seen new figures from the NHS showing a significant

0:19:24 > 0:19:29increase in those being treated in hospital for stabbing injuries.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33Our special correspondent Lucy Manning has the story.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Seven days, six murders, all by knives.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40Police in East London investigate another last night.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45Knives now being used too often, killing too many.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Just a few miles away, this bedroom was full of life,

0:19:49 > 0:19:52but that life is gone.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55They are parents who lost their son last month.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00Now it's empty.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05Nothing is here.

0:20:05 > 0:20:11He died for nothing.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15When I come into this room, Hasan's smell comes in my nose.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Everywhere, it has that smell.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Hasan's mother, Amina, can now only stroke his picture.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Everyone is lost too much, Hasan.

0:20:24 > 0:20:25A lot of people loved him.

0:20:25 > 0:20:26He was handsome.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28He was very honest.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30And he was 19 years old.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32He had a plan for the future.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33Hasan was a student, studying Criminology,

0:20:33 > 0:20:37when he was stabbed.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39It's two minutes that changed Hasan's life,

0:20:39 > 0:20:42my life, my family's life.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Police!

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Stay where you are!

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Police!

0:20:49 > 0:20:515am, West London, police burst through the doors.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Officers are stepping up trying to stop knives being used,

0:20:55 > 0:20:59but admit they haven't been able to stop knife crime rising.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Knuckle-dusters and drugs are removed from the house

0:21:01 > 0:21:05and a sword is recovered.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08There has been a significant increase of knife crime and that's

0:21:08 > 0:21:13what we are tackling and have been tackling over the last year or so.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16So it's gone up, and I think we should all be concerned about that.

0:21:16 > 0:21:2026 people murdered by knives in London so far this year,

0:21:20 > 0:21:25including six teenagers, prompting this frank admission.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29I do fear sometimes that because the majority of those that

0:21:29 > 0:21:34are injured or killed are coming from certain communities -

0:21:34 > 0:21:37and very often, the black communities in London -

0:21:37 > 0:21:40it doesn't get the sense of collective outrage that it ought

0:21:40 > 0:21:44to do and really get everyone to a place where we all are doing

0:21:44 > 0:21:48everything we can to prevent this from happening.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51The BBC's obtained the latest provisional NHS figures for England,

0:21:51 > 0:21:55showing more than 4,000 stabbing victims treated in the ten months

0:21:55 > 0:21:58until the end of January this year.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01That's 520 more people and a 14% increase on the same

0:22:01 > 0:22:04period the year before.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06London hospitals like Barts, Imperial and King's College

0:22:06 > 0:22:09treated the most.

0:22:09 > 0:22:16213 were treated in Birmingham, 181 in Manchester and 133 in Liverpool.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19What would you like to see the police and the Government doing

0:22:19 > 0:22:23to stop so much knife crime?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25They're not doing good enough.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27This is a serious problem, honestly.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30There's a lot of people that are dying that's 17 years old,

0:22:30 > 0:22:3218 years old, 20 years old.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35They're dying for nothing.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37After the stabbings, the flowers, but they don't

0:22:37 > 0:22:40last, and everyone - but the families - move on.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43I don't want anyone else hurt any more.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45I don't want...

0:22:45 > 0:22:49any mothers and fathers crying any more.

0:22:49 > 0:22:57Lucy Manning, BBC News.

0:22:58 > 0:23:04It is six months since Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Aid

0:23:04 > 0:23:08agencies say life for many of the residents remains a day-to-day

0:23:08 > 0:23:13struggle. Many of them I get to have their electricity reconnected. Our

0:23:13 > 0:23:17correspondent reports from the central town for that there is

0:23:17 > 0:23:24resentment towards the US government for what is seen by many Puerto Rico

0:23:24 > 0:23:28Ricans as a lack of urgency to the response.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Imagine having to depend on a generator to keep your mother alive.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33That's the way Carmen has been living for six months.

0:23:33 > 0:23:38She, like so many here, all American citizens, has

0:23:38 > 0:23:43had no electricity since Hurricane Maria.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Every time the generator fails, her mother's respirator shuts down.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48TRANSLATION:I've been crying all the time.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51I thought my mother would die because I couldn't help her.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53It's horrible.

0:23:53 > 0:23:58Me and her are struggling so much to fight this situation.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01It was the most devastating hurricane to hit Puerto

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Rico in living memory, plunging more than 3 million

0:24:04 > 0:24:10people into darkness, and into a humanitarian crisis.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14Maria obliterated infrastructure right across this island.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16People are crossing a river in the way they

0:24:16 > 0:24:18have not done for years here because the bridge

0:24:18 > 0:24:21was totally destroyed.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25For so many people, in so many ways across

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Puerto Rico, life has been set back decades.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30This bridge is being rebuilt.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34But the pace of recovery across what is an American territory

0:24:34 > 0:24:36has been painfully slow.

0:24:36 > 0:24:41Puerto Ricans expected far more help from the US.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44And it's hard not to wonder, if this school had

0:24:44 > 0:24:47been in Texas or Florida, whether the children would have gone

0:24:47 > 0:24:49this long without electricity.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Unable to use computers as they used to, often

0:24:52 > 0:24:59in unwashed uniforms, and unable to work at home after dark.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01This teacher, Maria Isabel Santana,

0:25:01 > 0:25:05told us she was upset by the impact it was having on her students,

0:25:05 > 0:25:10saying there were already months behind in their learning.

0:25:10 > 0:25:16But the misery is not just about power.

0:25:16 > 0:25:22There was so much damage done to homes as well.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Many though have been given little more than blue

0:25:24 > 0:25:26tarpaulin to repair them.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29So many who can have just left the island,

0:25:29 > 0:25:31scrawling their contact details on the buildings they abandoned.

0:25:31 > 0:25:32Evelyn Cruz knows more than anyone the

0:25:32 > 0:25:34psychological impact of staying here.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Her brother, Julio, took his life just last month.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38She says it's because he was overwhelmed by

0:25:38 > 0:25:43the conditions since the hurricane.

0:25:43 > 0:25:48TRANSLATION:All the disasters in real life, it affected him.

0:25:48 > 0:25:55Seeing so much need.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56-- Maria left.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57Knowing all the bad news.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58Being without electricity.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Seeing all the desolation and all the people leaving.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02It affected him mentally.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05And there has been a massive spike in Puerto Ricans attempting

0:26:05 > 0:26:09suicide since the storm.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12In many ways, people here can accept the devastation of a force of

0:26:12 > 0:26:14nature like Hurricane Maria much more than they can understand

0:26:14 > 0:26:18the suffering they are still going through now.

0:26:18 > 0:26:23Aleem Maqbool, BBC News, Morovis, Puerto Rico.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26The pilot of the jet that crashed at the Shoreham

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Air Show in 2015 is to be charged with the

0:26:28 > 0:26:30manslaughter by gross negligence of the 11 people

0:26:30 > 0:26:32who died on the ground.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Andrew Hill is also accused of endangering an aircraft

0:26:36 > 0:26:38and is due to appear before magistrates next month.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40For the latest, let's join our correspondent,

0:26:40 > 0:26:48Duncan Kennedy at East Sussex Police headquarters in Lewes.

0:26:48 > 0:26:57Yes. It is nearly three years since the air crash in Shoreham. Tonight

0:26:57 > 0:27:01the families came to the Sussex Police headquarters for a private

0:27:01 > 0:27:05meeting with the Crown Prosecution Service. They were told the pilot,

0:27:05 > 0:27:11Andy Hill, who survived the crash is to be prosecuted for manslaughter by

0:27:11 > 0:27:12gross negligence.

0:27:12 > 0:27:17This was the worst airshow disaster in Britain since 1952.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20A vintage jet taking part in an air display crashed next

0:27:20 > 0:27:21to the A27 in Shoreham.

0:27:21 > 0:27:2411 men on the ground were killed.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27At least 11 other people were injured.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Tonight, the families of those who died came to Sussex Police

0:27:30 > 0:27:34headquarters to meet the Crown Prosecution Service.

0:27:34 > 0:27:39They were told that Andy Hill, the pilot, would now be prosecuted.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I have found there is sufficient evidence to charge Mr Hill

0:27:42 > 0:27:47with manslaughter by gross negligence of the 11 men who died.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49I have also authorised a further charge against Mr Hill

0:27:49 > 0:27:52of endangering an aircraft contrary to Article 137

0:27:52 > 0:27:57of the Air Navigation Order 2009.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Lawyers for the families involved say the decision by the CPS

0:28:00 > 0:28:06to prosecute comes after nearly three years of grief and loss.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09The decision by the Crown Prosecution Service is very much

0:28:09 > 0:28:12welcomed and the families now hope that this criminal procedure

0:28:12 > 0:28:17and process can progress as swiftly as possible.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20This memorial to the 11 men who died has been placed on this bridge

0:28:20 > 0:28:22near the crash site.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25Tonight, the Crown Prosecution Service said that Andy Hill,

0:28:25 > 0:28:30the pilot, would be charged and appear in court in due course.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33The inquest into the men's deaths is now likely to be postponed

0:28:33 > 0:28:36until after any court case.

0:28:36 > 0:28:42Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, in Sussex.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45A major new study has warned that the quantity of plastic

0:28:45 > 0:28:47in the world's oceans will treble within a decade,

0:28:47 > 0:28:50unless urgent action is taken.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53So, in the first of a three-part series, we've set one family

0:28:53 > 0:28:56from Bristol a challenge - to see if they can live without

0:28:56 > 0:29:00single-use plastic for ten days.

0:29:00 > 0:29:06Our correspondent, Jon Kay, has been to visit them.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09So, what's for tea in the Evans household tonight?

0:29:09 > 0:29:12Plastic, and plastic, and plastic.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16And more plastic.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19Liz, Andy and their girls want to live with less of this.

0:29:19 > 0:29:26But how?

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Plastic, plastic, plastic...

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Plastic, plastic, plastic.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32They're going to try living without single-use

0:29:32 > 0:29:33plastic for ten days.

0:29:33 > 0:29:38We're up for it, but...

0:29:38 > 0:29:41I can't see how you can do it, as a modern family.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44And look at the bottles of lemonade that we like.

0:29:44 > 0:29:45Milk!

0:29:45 > 0:29:46Tomorrow is bin day.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49We're doing well at recycling, but where does it go from us?

0:29:49 > 0:29:53They were inspired by watching Blue Planet 2.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55It will take years, and years, and years.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57It'll probably still be that same bottle when you're

0:29:57 > 0:30:01Mummy and Daddy's age.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02Shower gel for Chloe.

0:30:02 > 0:30:03Shower gel for Ella.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05Shampoo for the puppy.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08Going plastic-free...

0:30:08 > 0:30:09Moisturisers...

0:30:09 > 0:30:11..is going to mean some big changes.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14We're just plastic weirdos!

0:30:14 > 0:30:16I don't think you are weird.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19I think this is pretty typical of most households.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Yeah, but when you start to think about it, that's when you realise

0:30:22 > 0:30:23how reliant on it we are.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25We make our own toothpaste.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28How do you do that?

0:30:28 > 0:30:30To get some tips, they've come to meet the Williams family,

0:30:30 > 0:30:33who've been living without plastic for two years.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35We're so used to being told we need a spray for this

0:30:35 > 0:30:37and a bottle for that...

0:30:37 > 0:30:40They use bars of shampoo, home-made deodorant.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43They have a little wooden stick in the middle.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Even special earbuds.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48It just keeps anything fresh.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50And waxed paper, instead of clingfilm.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53Andrew and I do work on a fairly tight budget.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Liz wants reassurance that it won't break the bank

0:30:55 > 0:30:57when they try doing this.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Well, we think it's probably a bit cheaper, don't we?

0:30:59 > 0:31:00Yeah.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03We haven't done a complete comparison, but our gut feeling

0:31:03 > 0:31:04is that it's cheaper.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07So windscreen wash now is water, a little bit of detergent...

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Like a spoonful, yeah.

0:31:09 > 0:31:10Vinegar, and it works a treat.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Saving you money.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15But will the Evanses grind their coffee, instead of buying

0:31:15 > 0:31:18pods, and use a strainer, rather than tea bags

0:31:18 > 0:31:20containing plastic?

0:31:20 > 0:31:21I think it's brilliant.

0:31:21 > 0:31:22Absolutely brilliant.
