Newsnight exposes the shocking treament being meths out to - meted

:00:08.:00:18.

out to those in brain injury specialist units. Grant the staff

:00:19.:00:22.

are coming in, they will come in, you have been told repeatedly the

:00:23.:00:25.

staff are coming to wash you. We have to have handover first. The NHS

:00:26.:00:30.

Trust involved accept it was appalling. Will be talking to a

:00:31.:00:34.

former patient who has been through the system, and with her, the woman

:00:35.:00:38.

who is playing a key role in sorting it out. Rare pictures of Guantanamo

:00:39.:00:43.

detention camp have been broadcast on US television. Act with us like a

:00:44.:00:50.

human being, not like slaves. That is the voice of Shakar Ama, a UK

:00:51.:00:56.

resident. His lawyer is here with his reaction. We're treated to the

:00:57.:01:01.

first guided tour of Tate Britain transformed.

:01:02.:01:12.

Good evening, when someone suffers a severe brain injury, their chances

:01:13.:01:16.

of recovery often rest upon the quality of the programme of

:01:17.:01:19.

rehabilitation they receive. Sometimes relatives find it very

:01:20.:01:22.

difficult to gauge the quality of that care. But what is indisbutable

:01:23.:01:27.

is an expertise in care for brain-injured patients is uneven

:01:28.:01:38.

across England. We have the story of desperate measures of a man's

:01:39.:01:49.

treament in rehabilitation specialists. Every 90 seconds -- in

:01:50.:02:00.

seconds their life and the lives of their families are changed. That's

:02:01.:02:05.

what happened to Grant Clarke, he was 43 when he had a massive brain

:02:06.:02:11.

emridge. He dropped the children off at school and then he was arranging

:02:12.:02:15.

to go motor cross the following day, he had gone over to where the

:02:16.:02:21.

motorbikes were scored and just collapsed. Grant was left severely

:02:22.:02:30.

physically disabled, mentally he was fine but he couldn't really speak.

:02:31.:02:34.

18 months on he's still not home, and his partner feels he was let

:02:35.:02:38.

down by poor care at his first specialist rehab unit. I was told he

:02:39.:02:46.

would be there for 3-4 months, and I thought rehabilitation was exactly

:02:47.:02:49.

that, rehabilitation, to get you home. After injury the brain has to

:02:50.:02:55.

effectively build new pathways so that the person can regain the

:02:56.:03:00.

ability to do things. That can take weeks, months, even years. And it

:03:01.:03:06.

shows why it is so important to have good care and rehabilitation. That

:03:07.:03:12.

process of helping Grant relearn skills was meant to happen here, at

:03:13.:03:19.

the West Kent neuro-Rehab bill station unit. Not long after he

:03:20.:03:24.

arrived here in August last year, they started to worry. He didn't

:03:25.:03:30.

have his teeth washed his armpits watches, he was in urine all the

:03:31.:03:35.

time, every time I went to see him wet to his armpits and cold. She

:03:36.:03:41.

felt her complaints were ignored, so decided to taken a extreme step. He

:03:42.:03:50.

was trying inconsolably, and I said would it be better if I got a camera

:03:51.:03:55.

for your room. He stopped crying almost immediately and nodded yes.

:03:56.:03:58.

From the first day the secret camera picked up care that shocked Binny.

:03:59.:04:06.

This LAELT care worker starts cleaning the top of the tube that

:04:07.:04:09.

delivers food, fluid and medicine straight to Grant's stop marks care

:04:10.:04:13.

is needed because of the risk of infection. She does use an

:04:14.:04:19.

antiseptic wipe, but also borrows a pen and uses that. And over ten days

:04:20.:04:26.

Grant's call bell, his means of getting help is taken away for three

:04:27.:04:30.

times, for between ten and 16 minutes. On this occasion, when he

:04:31.:04:37.

presses the bell, a healthcare worker notes he's wet with urine,

:04:38.:04:42.

and said he will have to wait until staff changeover is finish. Still

:04:43.:04:45.

waiting five minutes later he buzzes again. This time a senior member of

:04:46.:04:50.

staff comes in and takes away the call bell. More than ten minutes

:04:51.:05:05.

later and with no call bell Grant starts pressing a keypad to get

:05:06.:05:08.

attention. When the same woman returns she's not pleased. By now

:05:09.:05:12.

Grant has been sitting in his own urine for more than a quarter of an

:05:13.:05:15.

hour. But what Binny saw two nights

:05:16.:05:37.

running horrified her, Grant wasn't meant to have anything by mouth,

:05:38.:05:41.

unable to swallow, choking could be life threatening for him. The camera

:05:42.:05:47.

shows an experienced healthcare worker giving Grant drinks of water

:05:48.:05:51.

on five occasions. Here Grant starts to cough, the worker whispers him to

:05:52.:06:01.

keep it quiet. Binny was really worried and overall Grant was making

:06:02.:06:06.

no progress. He had to get out of there, I knew that he wouldn't come

:06:07.:06:11.

home, I told them he wouldn't come home if he stays here and you keep

:06:12.:06:14.

treating him like this, he's not going to make him home. Questioned

:06:15.:06:19.

by police the healthcare worker said he regretted giving the drinks and

:06:20.:06:23.

now realised his poor judgment had endangered Grant, no charges were

:06:24.:06:30.

brought. The West Kent unit said it specialised in eurorehabilitation,

:06:31.:06:35.

but shockingly -- neurorehabilitation, but shockingly,

:06:36.:06:40.

an investigation found only one member of staff had specialist

:06:41.:06:46.

training in brain injury. The Trust upheld the 26 complaints that the

:06:47.:06:50.

family made against the Trust for the four months he was here last

:06:51.:06:53.

year and he was moved to place a safety. The Trust says:

:06:54.:07:19.

I think the attitude of the staff is very important as well. Professor

:07:20.:07:32.

Mike cap Barnes has specialised in euro-rehabilitation medicine for

:07:33.:07:34.

four decades. He says it is difficult to find people with

:07:35.:07:38.

specialist training in this field but it is vital. You can't do good

:07:39.:07:44.

quality rehabilitation without good quality people. It is not about

:07:45.:07:48.

fancy equipment or scans, or equipment at all, it is about the

:07:49.:07:52.

quality of the person that provides the hands-on assistance. He believes

:07:53.:07:55.

that services for people with acquired brain injuries are too hit

:07:56.:08:01.

and miss. There are some very good rehabilitation centres in this

:08:02.:08:05.

country. But equally, I'm afraid, there are units around the country

:08:06.:08:09.

that really don't provide proper co-ordinated rehabilitation at all.

:08:10.:08:12.

Yet that is what they are called, that, I think, is a sad reflection

:08:13.:08:17.

on something that needs to be done. And it's people like Shamell

:08:18.:08:22.

Courtney and her husband Mark, who have experienced what a lack of

:08:23.:08:25.

specialist care can mean in practice time and again. In March 2007 Mark

:08:26.:08:34.

had a major asthma attack, it left him severely brain-damaged. He needs

:08:35.:08:38.

24-hour care, round the clock, one-to-one. He's totally dependant

:08:39.:08:44.

on all his needs, nutritional, manual handling, washing, dressing,

:08:45.:08:49.

absolutely everything. So long after the brain injury her concerns now

:08:50.:08:54.

are less about Mark's rehabilitation, more about the

:08:55.:08:58.

failings in basic care which has meant she has been asked to train

:08:59.:09:03.

staff herself. He has been in four different placements in the past

:09:04.:09:06.

six-and-a-half years, I have not found that any placement is ideal.

:09:07.:09:14.

They all have their serious risks to these patients. That if I wasn't

:09:15.:09:18.

there, then you know, I don't think he would be here either. For Grant

:09:19.:09:26.

Clarke, being in a new unit that is providing good care and the

:09:27.:09:29.

rehabilitation he needs seems to be making a real difference. At the

:09:30.:09:33.

last place he was told his future was in a nursing home. Thanks to the

:09:34.:09:39.

progress he has made here, he's now starting to spend time back home

:09:40.:09:44.

with his family. There is good evidence that although

:09:45.:09:48.

rehabilitation costs more money clearly than someone going home or

:09:49.:09:51.

to a nursing home. That money is recouped over two-to-three years by

:09:52.:09:55.

that person requiring less support from the state, getting back to work

:09:56.:10:02.

and therefore earning money. So the short-term investment in further

:10:03.:10:07.

rehabilitation for six months or a year will be recouped by the state

:10:08.:10:11.

over two-to-three years. Grant is now starting to speak more, and he

:10:12.:10:22.

has clear goals. What is it you want to achieve? To walk. To walk. What

:10:23.:10:31.

about going home, how important is that to you? Very. Very. The fight

:10:32.:10:39.

to get the right help has added to the trauma they faced. They find

:10:40.:10:46.

that hard to understand. We asked NHS England to come on to Newsnight

:10:47.:10:50.

tonight and discuss care provision for patients with brain injuries,

:10:51.:10:56.

nobody was available. But the National Clinical Direct for

:10:57.:11:03.

Rehabilitation and Recovery in the Community gave the

:11:04.:11:31.

Here tonight we have Kate Allatt who survived Lock In Syndrome, and knows

:11:32.:11:41.

how vital good treatment is, and a rehab specialist who has been asked

:11:42.:11:45.

to lead the NHS for the revised treatment of brain injury patients.

:11:46.:11:48.

Good evening to both of you. What do you make of Grant Clarke's story?

:11:49.:11:55.

Well, it is difficult to comment on individual cases of course. But

:11:56.:12:00.

really that doesn't look at all the sort of standard one would expect to

:12:01.:12:04.

have. I think the point about that is that it really underlines the

:12:05.:12:09.

necessity to have patients who have complex disabilities cared for by

:12:10.:12:17.

staff. One staff was specialist in the treatment. That is

:12:18.:12:20.

extraordinary, calling itself a specialist unit and one trained

:12:21.:12:24.

specialist unit? And the British society of the Rehabilitation

:12:25.:12:29.

Medicine has set out standards to say what we would expect staff to be

:12:30.:12:34.

on those specialised unit, and the recommendation is at least a third

:12:35.:12:37.

of the staff to have specialised training in the nursing staff.

:12:38.:12:41.

Before I talk about what happened to you, I know you campaign on behalf

:12:42.:12:45.

of relatives and families. Presumably Grant Clarke and Mark's

:12:46.:12:49.

cases are not isolated? They are not isolated. There are a lot of people

:12:50.:12:53.

I deal with who have great experiences in rehab, if they get

:12:54.:12:56.

the opportunity to go to rehab. Which isn't always the case. So I

:12:57.:13:00.

have to say that, there are some good example, mine was very good.

:13:01.:13:05.

But this was appalling. Appalling, my heart goes out. But how often do

:13:06.:13:10.

we see vulnerable people in society being neglected like that, across

:13:11.:13:15.

all sectors. And for you, what happened to you? I had a brainstem

:13:16.:13:22.

stroke with Locked In Syndrome in February 2010, that left me unable

:13:23.:13:27.

to do anything to communicate through blinking. That was it,

:13:28.:13:30.

nothing else moved. I felt everything but I could move nothing.

:13:31.:13:37.

The process of getting better, is it about a partnership, the way that

:13:38.:13:46.

nurse was talking to Grant like a child. Well again I think that is

:13:47.:13:49.

appalling and very patronising, I think that is very controlling. I

:13:50.:13:55.

think the key thing in rehabilitation units there should be

:13:56.:14:00.

a specialised neuroteam, speech therapist, neuro-psychologist,

:14:01.:14:06.

neuro-physiotherapists, and I think especially in europsychologists, as

:14:07.:14:12.

part of a re-- neuro-psychologists, I think you need loved ones on

:14:13.:14:16.

board. You were unable to communicate, they wouldn't know if

:14:17.:14:19.

you were receiving proper care or not? Exactly, and also you have to

:14:20.:14:23.

also factor in the fact that loved ones tend to, a lot of loved ones

:14:24.:14:29.

tend to believe the doctor in the white coat because they don't know

:14:30.:14:33.

any different. Part of the problem is that you can't be guaranteed, as

:14:34.:14:42.

we said, what did Professor Michael Baines said, that there were units

:14:43.:14:48.

that don't provide proper co-ordinated care at all. It is a

:14:49.:14:52.

postcode lottery? Indeed, it is fair to say up until now rehabilitation

:14:53.:14:56.

has been something of a Cinderella speciality. Much of the focus has

:14:57.:15:00.

been on acute and frontline services. Specialised rehabilitation

:15:01.:15:06.

hasn't had the level of prioritisation that we would want to

:15:07.:15:11.

see. Is that because as the professor was saying that the

:15:12.:15:15.

initial injection of cash is high for rehabilitation, but it is down

:15:16.:15:19.

the line that the savings are made and trusts saying they can't afford

:15:20.:15:23.

it? It does look expensive to start off with, when you see those

:15:24.:15:27.

advantages play out over the life of the patient and we're often looking,

:15:28.:15:30.

as indeed in this film and quite young patients who have got the rest

:15:31.:15:35.

of their lives to really make the gains. Is that about the budgets of

:15:36.:15:38.

hospitals, they would like to think about the outcome three or four

:15:39.:15:42.

years down the road, but they are concerned about their budget over

:15:43.:15:45.

the next 12 months. Absolutely, that is partly the way the system is

:15:46.:15:48.

funded at the moment going from year-to-year. Are you suggesting it

:15:49.:15:51.

shouldn't be funded like that? No, I think one would like to see

:15:52.:15:55.

long-term planning and strategy really trying to make sure that we

:15:56.:16:01.

take advantage. We have, as Mike said really good evidence that

:16:02.:16:05.

rehabilitation can be cost effective, we need to make sure we

:16:06.:16:09.

do reap those benefits. On just the question of your rehabilitation, how

:16:10.:16:14.

did that play out, were you with the same staff, did you have continuity

:16:15.:16:19.

of care. I was in ICU for nine weeks and then went to 0s George Osborne

:16:20.:16:25.

straight there, and they were an amazing team. They had a very driven

:16:26.:16:29.

patient. Motivation of the loved one, motivation of the patient and

:16:30.:16:36.

the team, who identified with a young mother with three kids at

:16:37.:16:39.

home, it was easy for them to do something for me, because they could

:16:40.:16:43.

see and feel my might. They got out of me as much as I did out of them.

:16:44.:16:48.

It was two-way and I worked hard. I think that is important. Also

:16:49.:16:53.

rehabilitation, I have to say the rehabilitation should start earlier

:16:54.:16:57.

than it does in this country, it should start in ICU as it does in

:16:58.:17:05.

Denmark, two days after the coma. J In a moment rare access to the side

:17:06.:17:12.

of Guantanamo pay BAI detention camp. The Reverend Paul Flowers who

:17:13.:17:17.

led the Co-Op bank when it almost fell off the precipice was charged

:17:18.:17:24.

with allegedly trying to buy cocaine. Today the accusations about

:17:25.:17:28.

his behaviour were less about the drug deal about how about man with

:17:29.:17:32.

almost no experience of banking got the job in the first place. A review

:17:33.:17:38.

has been announced by the bank. Talk about breaking bad with a dose

:17:39.:17:42.

of breaking banks to go with it. The story of Paul DMROURS is

:17:43.:17:47.

extraordinary as it is multileveled. A Methodist minister, who

:17:48.:17:51.

aauthoriseding a Sunday newspaper sting put the meth into Methodist.

:17:52.:17:58.

Handing over ?200 for buying drugs. What else are we going to get, Ket?

:17:59.:18:04.

Up until June he was chairman of the Co-Op bank, a bank that went from

:18:05.:18:11.

one financial disaster to another, eventually being bailed out by hedge

:18:12.:18:15.

funds. The Reverend's life was in contrast to his poorer banking

:18:16.:18:19.

experience. I worked for bank for four years after I left school, and

:18:20.:18:24.

I undertook the examinations of the Institute of Bankers, I completed

:18:25.:18:27.

part one and the best part of part two of those explanations before I

:18:28.:18:33.

went to become a Methodist minister. So I have some experience but I

:18:34.:18:37.

would judge that experience was largely out of date in relation to

:18:38.:18:44.

the needs of contemporary banking, nonetheless I still had that

:18:45.:18:49.

grounding. All that training in pre-desminute analogue banking four

:18:50.:18:54.

decades ago must have been some use. Still he would be right on the money

:18:55.:18:58.

to give us the modern numbers, wouldn't he. Give everybody who is

:18:59.:19:02.

listening to this an idea of the size of the Co-Op Bank, roughly what

:19:03.:19:07.

is your total asset value? About just over ?3 billion. I'm talking

:19:08.:19:12.

about the assets so we are looking at the balance sheet here. I'm

:19:13.:19:17.

talking about the balance sheets and the asset figures were ?3 billion.

:19:18.:19:22.

You are offering me and I'm telling you that your annual accounts show

:19:23.:19:28.

it at ?47 billion. Indeed they did, forgive me. Your loan book is about

:19:29.:19:33.

?32 billion. It is one of the features of our banking crisis that

:19:34.:19:38.

when the dust settled it was clear that many of the people who had been

:19:39.:19:41.

approved by the regulators to steward our most important

:19:42.:19:45.

institutions were in retrospect wholly unsuitable. Though on the

:19:46.:19:48.

evidence of recent revelations, perhaps the Reverend Paul Flowers

:19:49.:19:54.

will be in a league of his own. Earlier I spoke to the chair of the

:19:55.:19:58.

Treasury Select Committee you saw there, I began by asking him how

:19:59.:20:03.

someone like Paul Flowers could be chairman of a large bank without any

:20:04.:20:08.

banking experience? What we discovered, if we didn't already

:20:09.:20:13.

know, is that the system of regulation was a flop, a failure. It

:20:14.:20:18.

was scarcely worth having. This called approved persons regime meant

:20:19.:20:22.

almost anybody could get through. I think it is important that we find

:20:23.:20:27.

out how exactly he was scrutinised. How he did get through in this

:20:28.:20:31.

specific case, and I will be writing to the regulators to ask them that

:20:32.:20:35.

question. He was interviewed by the FSA to be a non-executive director

:20:36.:20:39.

and he had a second interview when he became a chairman, this is at the

:20:40.:20:43.

height of the banking crisis. It is quite extraordinary at least I would

:20:44.:20:47.

feel it would be extraordinary did we not already know on the banking

:20:48.:20:50.

commission, which I also chaired in the summer, that this regime, this

:20:51.:20:55.

approved persons regime was not fit for purpose. That is why we

:20:56.:20:58.

recommended not to reform it but abolish it and replace it by

:20:59.:21:02.

something much more robust. Are you confident that your recommendations

:21:03.:21:07.

will be implemented in full? I can't be fully confident yet, it is

:21:08.:21:10.

crucial that parliament and the banking commissioners hold the

:21:11.:21:13.

Government's feet to the fire on this and make sure they implement

:21:14.:21:16.

these proposals in full. They are a package of measures, if taken

:21:17.:21:20.

together, can make a material difference to the way banks behave.

:21:21.:21:27.

You highlighted something to David Cameron something you worry will not

:21:28.:21:31.

be implemented what is that? There are a number, the Government haven't

:21:32.:21:35.

worked out the definition of a bank for the purposes of the legislation,

:21:36.:21:38.

that was made clear in the debate in the House of Lords, the Government

:21:39.:21:42.

have gone to think about it. Their definition of a banks could exclude

:21:43.:21:47.

investment banks. Most of us feel investment banks should be included

:21:48.:21:51.

in the licensing regime that we have proposed in the replacement for the

:21:52.:21:55.

very regime that went wrong here with the Reverend Flowers. When he

:21:56.:22:00.

was in front of you, at the Treasury select, did you have any idea that

:22:01.:22:05.

perhaps it was something to do with his lifestyle that he might have

:22:06.:22:10.

been behaving the way, say in the assets of the bank saying they were

:22:11.:22:15.

?3 billion and not ?40 billion? We will never know why he seemed in a

:22:16.:22:19.

sense slightly short of the odd fact about the bank that he was running.

:22:20.:22:23.

It is extraordinary that he had no idea at all about the asset base of

:22:24.:22:27.

his own bank after several years as chairman. Now, there are lots of

:22:28.:22:32.

non-executives in banks, are you confident that all the

:22:33.:22:36.

non-executives in large banks in this country are up to the job? You

:22:37.:22:45.

can FLEFR be -- never be absolutely confident of that. We have put in

:22:46.:22:49.

place a regulatory regime we are hoping the Government will

:22:50.:22:53.

implement. If it is implemented fully should achieve that. That

:22:54.:22:56.

means intensive interviews, not only at the beginning, but also during

:22:57.:23:01.

people's tenure, to pick up whether anything is going wrong, a very

:23:02.:23:05.

detailed list of what their responsible for, as individuals,

:23:06.:23:08.

which can then be checked back to see how they are doing. And with

:23:09.:23:11.

these interviews conducted by very senior people. I understand the veg

:23:12.:23:15.

lators are -- regulators are beginning to do that. The problem is

:23:16.:23:19.

going forward you could have these interviews for non-executive

:23:20.:23:23.

directors that are more rigorous to ascertain their background and

:23:24.:23:26.

experience. I'm talking about the non-executive directors in the banks

:23:27.:23:29.

at the moment. Can you retrospectively test them? Of

:23:30.:23:32.

course, one can have them come forward to be looked at to see if

:23:33.:23:36.

they fit the standards of the new regime. And in time those incumbents

:23:37.:23:40.

should be checked in that way. Are you confident the Government will go

:23:41.:23:45.

ahead and implement that in full? I'm confident that the spirit is

:23:46.:23:48.

willing. We have to make sure that the flesh doesn't weaken.

:23:49.:23:52.

Thank you very much indeed. Get with the programme, and get on with it.

:23:53.:23:55.

That was David Cameron's instruction when he made his displeasure clear

:23:56.:23:59.

last year after the Church of England had rejected the ordination

:24:00.:24:03.

of women bishops. This week new legislation thrashed out between

:24:04.:24:05.

different groupings in the church will be debated at the synod, if the

:24:06.:24:11.

synod approves it, it will be the first step towards the concecration

:24:12.:24:15.

of women bishops as early as next year. Opposition to the reform is

:24:16.:24:31.

crumbling by the day. The synod began with a rousing hymn

:24:32.:24:35.

of praise to Jesus, and prayers for the unity of the church in line with

:24:36.:24:40.

the usual practice. In this bastion of tradition. But even here, immured

:24:41.:24:52.

in Westminster, a modern world has intervened, no longer can the church

:24:53.:24:56.

afford to insulate itself against a fast-moving technological society,

:24:57.:25:01.

which prizes equality so highly, and finds discrimination hard to

:25:02.:25:06.

understand. Women have served as Anglican priests for almost 20

:25:07.:25:10.

years, and now make up almost a third of the Clergy. Priests such as

:25:11.:25:14.

Rosie Harper have become increasingly impatient as successive

:25:15.:25:18.

attempts to create women bishops have ended in failure. Well I think

:25:19.:25:22.

the way the world, the country in particular, the whole world reacted

:25:23.:25:26.

to the "no" vote in November was a real wake-up call. People are only

:25:27.:25:29.

just beginning to realise in the Church of England how ridiculous we

:25:30.:25:33.

look from the outside. And we had such a precious place in our

:25:34.:25:37.

society, being the conscience for the country, people would refer to

:25:38.:25:40.

the church, see what we believed and that would be a touchstone. Because

:25:41.:25:44.

of that vote amongst other things this has been reversed in recent

:25:45.:25:48.

years, so that the country in many ways thinks they have deeper and

:25:49.:25:51.

higher ethical values than the church. In November last year lay

:25:52.:25:55.

members of the synod blocked the legislation by a narrow margin,

:25:56.:26:00.

arguing that it did too little to he can cement traditionalists from

:26:01.:26:05.

serving under bishops. If anyone has a Bible. After the tears of last

:26:06.:26:10.

November, there is a lighter mood this week. Or even an iPad would be

:26:11.:26:16.

wonderful! New proposals for women bishops have generated a sense of

:26:17.:26:21.

expectation, even excitement. After years of bitter debate, the Church

:26:22.:26:25.

of England seems this week to be genuinely on the brink of an

:26:26.:26:29.

historic decision, to accept women bishops. Despite being offered

:26:30.:26:34.

rather less than before, low church evangelicals and High Church

:26:35.:26:38.

Catholics seem to be ready to bow to the inevitable. The reason, apart

:26:39.:26:41.

from the continuing damage to the church done by the debate, and the

:26:42.:26:45.

increasing bewilderment of the world outside, it seems to come down to a

:26:46.:26:49.

relatively simple plan. The appointment of an independent

:26:50.:26:54.

arbitrator or ombudsman. The latest proposals have been simplified and

:26:55.:26:58.

if passed would lead to the legislative process being speeded

:26:59.:27:02.

up. Leading to a final vote on women bishops next July. This time

:27:03.:27:06.

concessions to traditionalists would not be written into the law. But

:27:07.:27:12.

critically they would be backed by an ombudsman-style independent

:27:13.:27:17.

reviewer. For traditionalists on the Catholic wing of the church, such as

:27:18.:27:21.

David Holding, Jesus's choice only of men as apostles means that women

:27:22.:27:26.

are simply incapable of being priests. Still less bishops. But

:27:27.:27:31.

Father Holding is now ready to compromise. I think it is inevitable

:27:32.:27:35.

it can go through, I don't think we can carry on holding this back, it

:27:36.:27:39.

doesn't do us good we waste a lot of time and energy. It is very

:27:40.:27:43.

important that we do move forward. I have always said we want to move

:27:44.:27:46.

forward together. I haven't seen that possibility in the past. I see

:27:47.:27:50.

it now. That is why this is quite exciting. Others who voted against

:27:51.:27:54.

women bishops last November are also changing their minds. We helped to

:27:55.:27:58.

defeat it because we believed that it was putting at risk some

:27:59.:28:03.

absolutely essential elements in the tradition. And we needed to make

:28:04.:28:06.

sure that those people would still be with us, would be able to go on

:28:07.:28:11.

serving Jesus in that way. I believe that this legislation may be able to

:28:12.:28:15.

do that. Even the cleric leading conservative

:28:16.:28:21.

evangelicals in synod is ready to accept the inevitable. The church is

:28:22.:28:26.

on the brink of women bishops and I personally think that is contrary to

:28:27.:28:29.

what the Bible advises for church order, but it is not an essential

:28:30.:28:34.

issue and therefore it is one that we can learn to live with each other

:28:35.:28:38.

on. Provided everybody sticks to their side of the bargain. A final

:28:39.:28:45.

vote next July and confirmation by Anglican diocese could see women

:28:46.:28:50.

sitting among the bishops by 2015. Little did the church know that the

:28:51.:28:53.

sol illusion lay in turning to a new figure in the process, the

:28:54.:29:04.

arbitrator. CBS's 60-Minutes Programme has broadcast from inside

:29:05.:29:09.

Guantanamo Bay, where 164 men suspected of being as terrorists

:29:10.:29:14.

have been kept indefinitely without charge. In the film which shows the

:29:15.:29:19.

tension inside the prison, you can hear the voice of a British prisoner

:29:20.:29:25.

shouting out. He was identified as Shak Amr, his lawyer is with us. How

:29:26.:29:30.

significant is the new footage? It is significant, it is very rare for

:29:31.:29:36.

film crews to get access to Guantanamo Bay, it gives youen sight

:29:37.:29:39.

into what life is like inside the prison. If we look at it here, we

:29:40.:29:45.

see guards walking up and down the corridor in camp 5, prisoners are

:29:46.:29:50.

held in single cells, others in isolation. Here we have more insight

:29:51.:29:56.

into life in a cell. And you can see someone going about day-to-day

:29:57.:30:00.

business. And a group of prisoners reaching the point where they go for

:30:01.:30:03.

prayers. Again we see the guards going up and down with the

:30:04.:30:08.

protective massingks on, which -- masks on, because we are told the

:30:09.:30:11.

prisoners will sometimes throw things at them. What about this

:30:12.:30:16.

British resident? We are dealing with Shaka Amr, a British resident

:30:17.:30:21.

and Saudi national. This is his Department of Defence US file. And

:30:22.:30:26.

basically this file alleges that the detainee is a member of Al-Qaeda,

:30:27.:30:29.

tied to the European support network. It is important to say that

:30:30.:30:33.

he denies this and he has never been tried for it. Let's have a look at

:30:34.:30:38.

what he was saying now. Even you leave us to die in peace. Or even

:30:39.:30:45.

tell the world the truth. Open up the place. Let the world come and

:30:46.:30:50.

visit. Please Colonel, act with us like a human being. Not like slaves.

:30:51.:30:58.

You cannot walk not even half a metre without being chained. Is that

:30:59.:31:03.

a human being? That's a treatment of an animal! Thank you very much, I'm

:31:04.:31:10.

joined by the lawyer of the prisoner. You have been in there

:31:11.:31:13.

many times, what did you make of what you could see there? I have to

:31:14.:31:17.

say I have been there 30 times, I have spent almost a year down there,

:31:18.:31:20.

that is the first time I have ever seen someone with those masks on. I

:31:21.:31:25.

see the soldiers every time. This was all set up for CBS. They took

:31:26.:31:30.

them to one block on camp 5 and they tried to structure it in the words

:31:31.:31:36.

of Colonel Bogden, the guy in charge, to show that every single

:31:37.:31:40.

prisoner there is an evil Al-Qaeda person trying to kill everybody, it

:31:41.:31:45.

is total nonsense. But your own client there has been this series of

:31:46.:31:50.

letters and the UK Government and the US President asking for his

:31:51.:31:53.

return to the UK. What has happened to that? I think the most important

:31:54.:31:56.

thing we need to recognise is for all the allegations that people have

:31:57.:32:01.

made, Shaka has been cleared for release for six years now. And he's

:32:02.:32:05.

still sitting there. What we have to ask ourselves and what Shakar asks

:32:06.:32:11.

themself every day, if I'm cleared where -- himself every day, if I'm

:32:12.:32:17.

cleared why am I here. I sent a letter tonight to William Hague

:32:18.:32:20.

because he had written a personal letter about everything the

:32:21.:32:24.

Government had done. And Shakar wanted to thank William Hague, and

:32:25.:32:28.

wanted to ask him why is he still there. As Richard was saying he has

:32:29.:32:32.

been described as an Al-Qaeda affiliate? Well he's not. You know,

:32:33.:32:37.

I was down there the other day and I said what I have often said which is

:32:38.:32:41.

put up or shut up. And he has been cleared, he isn't an Al-Qaeda

:32:42.:32:45.

affiliate, he never hadding? To do with Al-Qaeda. How was he cleared?

:32:46.:32:52.

He was cleared by Bush and Obama, it is not like it is one person, all

:32:53.:32:57.

six of the major American secret agencies, the CIA, the FBI, everyone

:32:58.:33:02.

else has got together and said this guy is not a threat to anyone. Why

:33:03.:33:06.

isn't he coming home? Oh please, would you tell me. I will tell you

:33:07.:33:12.

why I think t this is what Shakar says, I can't talk about the

:33:13.:33:15.

classified evidence I have seen. I have to be clear about that. What

:33:16.:33:20.

seems clear, as much as I don't doubt for one second the bona fides

:33:21.:33:26.

of David Cameron and William Hague, I think they are being stabbed in

:33:27.:33:31.

the back by the British Intelligence Services. Shakar has given a

:33:32.:33:36.

three-day statement about British complicity in torture, the only way

:33:37.:33:39.

that becomes a criminal case against certain people is if he comes back

:33:40.:33:43.

to Britain and is a proper witness. If he's shipped to Saudi Arabia he

:33:44.:33:48.

can never be a witness and the case ends. I'm afraid there has been a

:33:49.:33:52.

lot of secret stuff going on behind people's backs and I wish people

:33:53.:33:56.

would stop it and just be up front. Do you think that films like this

:33:57.:34:06.

actually have any impact on the Obama Government? Do you know I

:34:07.:34:10.

don't really care. What this did was for the first time Shakar's daughter

:34:11.:34:17.

who hasn't seen him for 12 years, and his son, who has never seen his

:34:18.:34:24.

father, he was born on Valentine's Day in 2 O2, 2 -- 20 O2, the day he

:34:25.:34:34.

was put into detention. They heard their dad, and they were thrilled. I

:34:35.:34:38.

just hope those kids get to see their dad. While politicians and

:34:39.:34:41.

business leaders argue about the health of the economy, one sector

:34:42.:34:45.

enjoys rude good health, the art market. A work by a British artist,

:34:46.:34:51.

Francis Bacon, has set a new record of ?90 million at auction. And Tate

:34:52.:34:56.

Britain is about to unveil a ?40 million refit. At the centre of it

:34:57.:35:05.

all is the great Tate Panjandrum. Has he turned art anything something

:35:06.:35:12.

that will rival art, or has it exerted unfair influence.

:35:13.:35:19.

We went on a tour of his gaff. It is all a kind of alchemy, in these lean

:35:20.:35:27.

times, ?45 million conjured out of thin air, to splash on a grand

:35:28.:35:34.

refurbishment of the original Tate Gallery. Shimmering into view is the

:35:35.:35:39.

sourcer himself, Sir Nicholas Serota. This is a money that has

:35:40.:35:43.

been committed to making sure that we really show British art at its

:35:44.:35:49.

best. We're world leaders, historically and I would argue in

:35:50.:35:54.

the modern era in terms of what our artists have produced. We want to

:35:55.:35:58.

show it in the best possible way. In the case of Tate Britain it is a ?45

:35:59.:36:03.

million scheme, ?42 million of that has come from Trust, Foundations and

:36:04.:36:08.

individuals, only ?3 million from the lottery. There are recent

:36:09.:36:12.

figures that suggest per head of population that people in London and

:36:13.:36:16.

the south-east are spoilt compared to others? I think that the great

:36:17.:36:22.

thing about an institution like the Tate is it doesn't simply serve

:36:23.:36:26.

London but the whole country. We have more loans going out to ROEJal

:36:27.:36:32.

museum -- regional museums now than any time in the past. We work with

:36:33.:36:36.

partners in museums and galleries across the country. A restaurant is

:36:37.:36:42.

reopening, boasting this enchanted Muriel by Rex Whistler, a neglected

:36:43.:36:48.

British artist of the 20th century. The Ta Tereks and Nicholas Serota

:36:49.:36:53.

have been accused of having too much power over the careers of more

:36:54.:37:00.

recent artists. I think I would be really niave that I didn't recognise

:37:01.:37:06.

that if the Tate buys work by a young artist makes a difference. The

:37:07.:37:10.

market however has a way of absorbing that and any artist's

:37:11.:37:15.

price has to be sustained by a very great deal more than simply a

:37:16.:37:20.

purchase by the gallery. Do you ever walk around Tate Modern and pass a

:37:21.:37:24.

particular work and shudder and think, "what were we doing"? I think

:37:25.:37:30.

the great thing about having the responsibility for buying

:37:31.:37:34.

contemporary art is that you have an opportunity to make a judgment,

:37:35.:37:38.

present it to the public, last year we presented a major exhibition at

:37:39.:37:45.

Tate Modern of Damien Hirst, it had more visitors than any show we have

:37:46.:37:50.

done since we opened that building in 2000. It got some flack too? The

:37:51.:37:57.

Tatte -- Tate has a responsibility to show the work of leading British

:37:58.:38:02.

artists whose work is highly regarded internationally. The Tate

:38:03.:38:06.

has always been controversial, I hope it will remain so. Ladies and

:38:07.:38:14.

gentlemen the magnificent Tryptic of Lucian Freud by Francis Bacon. A

:38:15.:38:20.

painting by Francis Bacon of his friend, Lucian Freud fetched ?90

:38:21.:38:30.

million in the UK this month. It won't be in the UK but in an

:38:31.:38:37.

oligarch's front room. They live in Britain too and sometimes they lend

:38:38.:38:41.

works to the Tate or the National Gallery or other institutions. I

:38:42.:38:45.

don't think you should assume that the work, since it was bought by a

:38:46.:38:50.

private collector that it won't be available for the public to see.

:38:51.:38:54.

However historically once it goes into a private collection it does

:38:55.:38:58.

disappear for a period. How is the Turner Prize doing, the great Robert

:38:59.:39:04.

Hughes, admittedly a decade ago described it as soggy and flaccid.

:39:05.:39:08.

How is it now? Showing it outside London as we have begun to do

:39:09.:39:17.

outevery two years. It is in Derry in 2013, I'm pretty confident that

:39:18.:39:22.

some of those people who are winning the Turner Prize in this decade will

:39:23.:39:26.

be as well known as those who won it in the previous decades. Look at

:39:27.:39:30.

Steve McQueen, an artist who won the Turner Prize ten years ago,

:39:31.:39:37.

unregarded at that point. Now probably going to be receiving

:39:38.:39:43.

Oscars for his major feature film. Grayson Perry in his Reith lecture

:39:44.:39:51.

recently outed you as a fan of Sir iff Richard, and who isn't?

:39:52.:39:57.

# She's just a devil woman # She's gonna get you Grayson has

:39:58.:40:06.

his own view on the world, and he undoubtedly found some things in my

:40:07.:40:09.

bedroom. What was he doing in your bedroom, you don't have to tell me,

:40:10.:40:17.

that's true? Grayson came to really enjoyable party that we often give

:40:18.:40:22.

at Christmas. He had a SNOOP around, and he found a few things and I

:40:23.:40:36.

think he enjoyed himself. Are you a fan of Sir cliff? I'm fan you will

:40:37.:40:41.

of a music, I collect memorabilia of all kinds. Today the President of

:40:42.:40:48.

the Philippines criticised local Governmental officials for his

:40:49.:40:53.

country not being prepared for the devastation wrought by supertyphoon.

:40:54.:40:59.

The mayor of the worst-hit city pointed the finger straight back at

:41:00.:41:02.

the President. While the blame game went on, the effort to get aid to

:41:03.:41:07.

the thousands left striken stutters on. We have been across the island

:41:08.:41:20.

of Lette. The poor and the weak bore the brunt, their flimsy houses were

:41:21.:41:25.

flashed to pieces in -- smashed to pieces in the howling wind, and

:41:26.:41:32.

swept away in the flood. This is Tacloban, it suffered more than

:41:33.:41:35.

anywhere else. They barely even notice the bodies now. Joalen has

:41:36.:41:48.

been searching for her son, she accepts she's now looking for a

:41:49.:41:55.

corpse. TRANSLATION: We saw the warnings on TV, she says. But the

:41:56.:42:00.

sky was clear, there was no wind. We couldn't have expected this. She

:42:01.:42:11.

explains how she fled to the Town Hall as the waters rose, she texted

:42:12.:42:15.

her son to come, but he was trapped by the wind and waves. They shut the

:42:16.:42:21.

doors of the hall, she says, she was screaming, my son was swept away.

:42:22.:42:31.

Right out to sea. People head back to the island of Lette to check on

:42:32.:42:38.

homes or search for loved ones. Apprehensive about what they will

:42:39.:42:49.

find. The boat docks in this town. It avoided the flood, but not the

:42:50.:42:56.

200 mile an hour winds. They say that 90% of all the buildings here

:42:57.:43:07.

were damaged or destroyed. At the Town Hall they are busy trying to

:43:08.:43:10.

put a sticking plaster on a gaping wound. There is no power and almost

:43:11.:43:16.

no water in the town. Their own buildings are badly damaged. As they

:43:17.:43:21.

struggle to move aid supplies around rain pours down through the roof.

:43:22.:43:27.

The big towns like this are starting to get supplies, mostly flown in by

:43:28.:43:34.

the Americans. Slowly more police and more soldiers are being

:43:35.:43:40.

deployed. It is rumours and fear, when it gets dark and you have no

:43:41.:43:46.

roof, probably a few doors a few window, open or blown out. I think

:43:47.:43:53.

it is not unnatural to feel a sense of dread, a sense of fear, but it

:43:54.:44:02.

is, I don't know, I wanted to use the word "normal" I don't know what

:44:03.:44:07.

that means. The new normal, right across the

:44:08.:44:12.

road from the Town Hall. They haven't had so much as a sheet of

:44:13.:44:16.

plastic to reveal these hellish conditions. We follow the trail of

:44:17.:44:25.

devastation across the island. The scale of it never loses the power to

:44:26.:44:37.

shock. The men with the shovels are from Manila, it is a rare sign of a

:44:38.:44:41.

nationally directed aid effort, and people complain it has been largely

:44:42.:44:46.

absent. What happened here has touched off a national debate. One

:44:47.:44:50.

newspaper said the Government had been so ineffective they would

:44:51.:44:55.

rather than American general or a UN official take charge. The sheer

:44:56.:44:58.

scale of the calamity always meant there would be severe difficulties

:44:59.:45:01.

in getting aid to where it was needed. But we have met people who
