:00:08. > :00:09.Hello it's Thursday, it's 9.15, I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria,

:00:10. > :00:15.The UK agrees to take in more child refugees from Syria who've been

:00:16. > :00:20.The Government wants to identify the most exceptional cases

:00:21. > :00:25.Those already in Europe won't be included.

:00:26. > :00:29.A world first; the British woman who doctors say has become the first

:00:30. > :00:33.person ever to have a pancreas transplant because of a severe

:00:34. > :00:37.Sue York who has had type-1 diabetes since she was seven would shake

:00:38. > :00:40.uncontrollably and vomit when injecting herself with insulin

:00:41. > :00:43.which she had to do twice a day for nearly 50 years.

:00:44. > :00:46.We'll speak to her exclusively after ten.

:00:47. > :00:49.After wowing us all, Johanna Konta is out

:00:50. > :00:54.Her bid to become our first female Grand Slam Finalist since 1977 ends

:00:55. > :01:03.in a straight sets defeat in the semis.

:01:04. > :01:10.I did a good job in separating the circumstances of the match and the

:01:11. > :01:14.gravity of the match from the actual work at hand which was to go out

:01:15. > :01:23.there and play the best match that I could on that day.

:01:24. > :01:26.Hello, welcome to the programme, we're on BBC 2 and the BBC

:01:27. > :01:31.We'll keep you across the latest breaking and developing stories.

:01:32. > :01:36.In the last half hour the SNP's Deputy Leader and Economy

:01:37. > :01:40.spokesperson Stewart Hosie has written to the European Commission

:01:41. > :01:44.calling for an investigation into the tax deal between HMRC

:01:45. > :01:48.The Commission had indicated that it would be willing to investigate

:01:49. > :01:51.Google's tax arrangements in Britain if a complaint was lodged.

:01:52. > :01:55.Google has defended its ?130 million deal with the UK's tax authorities

:01:56. > :01:57.and has insisted it complies with the law.

:01:58. > :02:01.We hope to speak to Stewart Hoise in the next half hour.

:02:02. > :02:04.As ever we're really keen to hear from you throughout the programme.

:02:05. > :02:07.Texts will be charged at the standard network rate.

:02:08. > :02:10.And of course you can watch the programme online wherever

:02:11. > :02:21.you are via the bbc news app or our website bbc.co.uk/victoria.

:02:22. > :02:23.The Government is to allow more child refugees from Syria to come

:02:24. > :02:27.But it hasn't said how many and those who're already

:02:28. > :02:33.Instead the Government will work with the UN High Commissioner

:02:34. > :02:35.for Refugees to identify "exceptional cases" in Syria

:02:36. > :02:41.There will also be extra money to help the estimated 26,000

:02:42. > :02:44.migrant children who arrived in Europe last year,

:02:45. > :02:46.a new ?10 million fund will provide more protection centres

:02:47. > :02:50.Critics say questions remain about how the Government's plan

:02:51. > :02:53.will work in practice and how many children

:02:54. > :02:59.Sources have told the BBC the numbers involved will not

:03:00. > :03:03.significantly increase the UK's current commitment to take

:03:04. > :03:16.the authorities are planning to reject the asylum claims

:03:17. > :03:23.applied for asylum in Sweden in 2015, the highest per capita

:03:24. > :03:28.processed last year, 55% were accepted.

:03:29. > :03:33.ago, this programme spoke to Javed, a 14-year-old who fled

:03:34. > :03:37.on his own to escape being recruited by a militant group.

:03:38. > :03:39.Javed isn't his real name, but he's one of thousands

:03:40. > :03:41.of unaccompanied minors who arrive in Europe

:03:42. > :04:32.Nicola Beckford went to meet him and his foster mum Karen.

:04:33. > :04:34.Can you chop the onion for me, please.

:04:35. > :05:00.You can sit on the step and watch if you want...

:05:01. > :05:03.I got a phone call to see if I wanted to

:05:04. > :05:05.look after a refugee, a 13-year-old boy.

:05:06. > :05:08.Which, at the beginning of my fostering journey,

:05:09. > :05:11.I never thought I would end up looking after a teenage boy.

:05:12. > :05:12.I've no experience of teenagers, but without hesitation,

:05:13. > :05:15.I would foster a refugee again, I would foster a teenage boy,

:05:16. > :05:17.because it's been nothing but positive.

:05:18. > :05:19.The impact on the family, and the way he

:05:20. > :05:21.has just fitted in, he's just a lovely, happy boy.

:05:22. > :05:23.He's brought nothing but happiness, really.

:05:24. > :05:31.TRANSLATION: I came from France to the UK not like a normal

:05:32. > :05:33.passenger, sitting on a seat, because I had no

:05:34. > :05:35.documents to show to the driver and I had no money

:05:36. > :05:42.Every day we went to the train station looking for a chance,

:05:43. > :05:50.I was nervous, the things you think, I was worried

:05:51. > :05:54.about having a 13-year-old boy in the house, and how would I manage

:05:55. > :05:56.if there was any challenging behaviour.

:05:57. > :06:01.Knowing that he has grown up in war, how would that affect his behaviour?

:06:02. > :06:04.So I was very nervous because there's just myself

:06:05. > :06:07.and my seven-year-old son in the house, so

:06:08. > :06:12.But I spoke to the previous foster carer,

:06:13. > :06:16.where he had been for a few weeks, and she assured me of what a lovely

:06:17. > :06:21.We met him first, he came for tea, and we had a few days together.

:06:22. > :06:29.So I knew from the minute I met him that he was a perfect fit.

:06:30. > :06:33.We can speak now to Yvette Cooper MP, chief of Labour's refugee task

:06:34. > :06:42.force and Lily Kaprani deputy executive director for UNICEF UK.

:06:43. > :06:48.Also Yasmine from an organisation working with Syrians in Manchester.

:06:49. > :06:51.Good morning to you all. Yvette, first of all, what do you

:06:52. > :06:54.think about the Government and what they are saying, is it completely

:06:55. > :06:58.clear how many child refugees will be able to come to the UK from this

:06:59. > :07:01.deal? It's not clear at all. It seems to be very confused at the

:07:02. > :07:05.moment. We have a whole series of questions for the Government. It's

:07:06. > :07:08.good if they are prepared to do more to help child refugees, particularly

:07:09. > :07:13.those who are alone in Europe because they are so vulnerable to

:07:14. > :07:17.gangs, smugglers, prostitution, abuse. But it's not clear at the

:07:18. > :07:21.moment whether this will actually increase the number of child

:07:22. > :07:27.refugees Britain helps very much or hardly at all. It's also not clear

:07:28. > :07:31.whether this will do anything to help those children who're alone in

:07:32. > :07:34.Greece or Italy where the reception centres around children's homes are

:07:35. > :07:37.full and people just aren't getting the support they need. The

:07:38. > :07:40.indications are strongly that it won't be children currently in

:07:41. > :07:45.Europe who'll be able to come to this country, it will be children in

:07:46. > :07:50.Syria deemed to be in exceptional circumstances? It's right to help

:07:51. > :07:55.those who are close to Syria but it's the children who are alone in

:07:56. > :08:00.Europe now who we should be really worried about because they are so

:08:01. > :08:03.vulnerable to gangs. I've met 11 or 12-year-olds, a similar age to my

:08:04. > :08:07.children, who were low with nobody to look after them -- alone with

:08:08. > :08:11.nobody to look after them in the camps in Calais and need somebody to

:08:12. > :08:15.look after them and care for them, otherwise they are so much at risk.

:08:16. > :08:19.So we need to see the Government do its bit to help deal with the child

:08:20. > :08:24.refugees in Europe. What Save the Children called for is for out of

:08:25. > :08:29.the 26,000 lone children, child refugees in Europe, if Britain could

:08:30. > :08:33.help 3,000 of those child refugees, that would be us doing our bit as

:08:34. > :08:36.part of what I think is a moral responsibility to suffering

:08:37. > :08:40.children. You said before you personally would be prepared to do

:08:41. > :08:43.your bit in terms of opening your doors to refugees. Does that remain

:08:44. > :08:46.the case, would you still be prepared to do that? Yes. I think a

:08:47. > :08:51.lot of people would be. The Government's said that's not what's

:08:52. > :08:54.needed at the moment because they need either proper accommodation,

:08:55. > :08:58.their own accommodation or for children it would be about foster

:08:59. > :09:01.care and you have to have proper training and support to Foster. That

:09:02. > :09:06.is important as well. What we found, if you think back to the kinder

:09:07. > :09:15.transport, where Britain helped 9,000 children who were fleeing from

:09:16. > :09:21.the Nazis and the Holocaust. Lord Alf Dubbs has put down an amendment

:09:22. > :09:26.in Parliament for Britain to help child refugees, this time to help

:09:27. > :09:32.3,000, so that is something our country could do. The Government

:09:33. > :09:36.says, and this was its previous argument, is that if you help people

:09:37. > :09:40.who've already come to Europe, you encourage others to make what is a

:09:41. > :09:43.very dangerous journey. Would you agree with that? I think people are

:09:44. > :09:47.already coming. The children have already come to Europe. I think we

:09:48. > :09:51.need stronger borders in order to manage the flow of people right

:09:52. > :09:55.across Europe so I think that the Schengen arrangement across Europe

:09:56. > :09:59.needs to end and they need proper border checks across Europe. We also

:10:00. > :10:02.need stronger action against smuggling gangs, so you need to do

:10:03. > :10:07.what you can to prevent children travelling. We cannot turn our backs

:10:08. > :10:10.orange children already in Europe, desperate families who've already

:10:11. > :10:15.come to Europe because they are fleeing from persecution in Syria or

:10:16. > :10:20.Afghanistan and, in Italy they said that last year 4,000 of the children

:10:21. > :10:26.disappeared and most likely that means into the arms of exploitive

:10:27. > :10:33.smuggling and trafficking gangs. Lily, what is your perspective on

:10:34. > :10:36.this from UNICEF? Yvette saying she's seen children aged 11 and 12

:10:37. > :10:40.who need help. What are the ages of the kids coming? It's hard to

:10:41. > :10:47.imagine young kids fleeing on their own? Well, UNICEF's working inside

:10:48. > :10:50.Syria in the entire region and a across Europe and we are seeing

:10:51. > :10:53.children as young as two. They are coming with families though? They

:10:54. > :10:57.may have left with family but may have become separated. Some of the

:10:58. > :11:01.journeys are so perilous that parents become separated or killed

:11:02. > :11:05.on the journeys, so there are so many reasons why tens of thousands

:11:06. > :11:09.of children end up being unaccompanied from very young

:11:10. > :11:13.children up to teenagers who're exposed to the risk of being

:11:14. > :11:16.exploited and trafficked if there's no-one to look after them. You can

:11:17. > :11:20.understand the need for them to try to get children out when you hear

:11:21. > :11:23.stories like I've heard in Syria where children as young as eight or

:11:24. > :11:26.nine are now being recruited into armed groups. Of course you would

:11:27. > :11:32.want to get the children out of harm's way. But sadly, we also know

:11:33. > :11:36.that during those perilous journeys out of Syria and sometimes across to

:11:37. > :11:41.Europe, children are left completely vulnerable without any protection.

:11:42. > :11:45.The Government right to focus efforts in Syria and neighbouring

:11:46. > :11:48.countries then to try to prevent the kids and others taking the journey?

:11:49. > :11:52.Of course that's right and the Prime Minister said in September there was

:11:53. > :11:54.a moral responsibility to protect vulnerable children from Syria in

:11:55. > :11:58.the region and that's absolutely the right thing to do. It's good to hear

:11:59. > :12:02.today that they are also recognising there are children already in Europe

:12:03. > :12:06.who're equally in need and I don't think one's more important than the

:12:07. > :12:09.other, all children left unaccompanied and in harm's way need

:12:10. > :12:13.protection and the UK is right to be doing what it can to help. We do, as

:12:14. > :12:19.Yvette says, need more detail on how this is going to work in Europe, but

:12:20. > :12:22.certainly efforts to better identify children who, for example, could be

:12:23. > :12:27.reunited with their family, are very welcome indeed. There's no reason

:12:28. > :12:30.why the children shouldn't be brought back together with their

:12:31. > :12:34.families, that's the safest thing for them and it would protect them

:12:35. > :12:37.from the harm. Are you putting a figure on how many you think should

:12:38. > :12:42.be able to come to the UK. The Government said it will be on top of

:12:43. > :12:48.the 20,000 figure already agreed but we don't know how many and the calls

:12:49. > :12:52.were for 3,000 from Europe? The Save Save the Children figure is a good

:12:53. > :12:55.one, so we need to see how many children will this mean helping from

:12:56. > :12:59.the Government and particularly those cases where we know that there

:13:00. > :13:02.are family in Britain, then that's obviously going to make a big

:13:03. > :13:07.difference, then you have family who can care for the children too and

:13:08. > :13:11.there was a case a few weeks ago tragically of a 15-year-old who was

:13:12. > :13:15.alone in Europe and whose sister was here in Britain and he died,

:13:16. > :13:17.suffocated in the back of a lorry simply trying to reach his sister.

:13:18. > :13:21.It would have been far simply trying to reach his sister.

:13:22. > :13:25.have a proper, safe, legal route for that family to be reunited and to

:13:26. > :13:28.save lives. Yasmine, you work for an

:13:29. > :13:35.organisation helping Syrians here in the UK. What is your perspective on

:13:36. > :13:41.what is being said now to help children come to this country? Ah

:13:42. > :13:47.well, two points really. First of all, we have a responsibility to

:13:48. > :13:52.help the refugees and the children in Europe. I agree with lily, both

:13:53. > :13:57.are in need of protection. Secondly, we need to ask the critical question

:13:58. > :14:03.of what are we doing to make sure refugees are protected in their own

:14:04. > :14:05.homes. As Syrians, we'd like to see countries welcoming refugees and

:14:06. > :14:09.also working together in a concerted manner to help in the conflict in

:14:10. > :14:13.Syria so that people don't need to flee their homes. Syrians, whether

:14:14. > :14:16.they are men, women, children, elderly, they are not fleeing

:14:17. > :14:19.because they want to, they are fleeing because they're subject to

:14:20. > :14:24.barrel bombs from the Assad regime because they are fleeing the risk of

:14:25. > :14:28.torture because they are fleeing, being recruited by militant groups.

:14:29. > :14:31.So what we really need to focus on is ending this root cause of the

:14:32. > :14:36.conflict because we don't want refugees to have to flee their home

:14:37. > :14:40.countries. Once we do that, I mean, if people are protected in their own

:14:41. > :14:45.homes, that in itself can alleviate the refugee crisis.

:14:46. > :14:48.Yvette, someone's texted to ask what are the ramifications of taking in

:14:49. > :14:53.refugee children, are their parents going to be allowed to follow them?

:14:54. > :14:57.Should they? We need to find out where the parents are in the first

:14:58. > :15:02.place. For some of the children, the parents may have been killed, for

:15:03. > :15:06.some, the parents may be still stuck in Syria and unable to leave. Some

:15:07. > :15:10.may be in Britain or in Germany or Sweden already and they need... But

:15:11. > :15:15.if there are parent who is could follow them should they be allowed

:15:16. > :15:20.to? The most important thing is to reunite them with their parents

:15:21. > :15:27.wherever wherever they are, but bear in mind Britain is only help ago

:15:28. > :15:32.small proportion of the refugees who are not just in Europe as well

:15:33. > :15:34.widely. We should be able to do more simply than the 4,000 a year that we

:15:35. > :15:43.are helping at the moment. How much of an open-ended commitment

:15:44. > :15:47.is it, with children coming, who should be allowed to follow in terms

:15:48. > :15:53.of numbers? There might be some where there are

:15:54. > :15:57.children in one part of Europe, one relative in Britain, others in

:15:58. > :16:02.Germany. You want a system where you can reunite that family. That should

:16:03. > :16:07.include being able to reunite the family in Britain. Britain is doing

:16:08. > :16:11.so much less than other countries to support desperate refugees.

:16:12. > :16:15.We should be prepared to provide Santry for families, but the

:16:16. > :16:19.priority is for the children. Personally, I think you should start

:16:20. > :16:24.with children with family in Britain already, they are the ones able to

:16:25. > :16:27.care for them, but we should do something for those who have no

:16:28. > :16:33.family to care for them at all. There was a huge drive to help

:16:34. > :16:38.migrants last year, when this story was hitting the headlines with what

:16:39. > :16:42.was going on with people undertaking those journeys, losing their lives.

:16:43. > :16:49.Germany put no limits. The debate has changed because of events. How'd

:16:50. > :16:56.you see what Jeremy did then. And do you think the Government was right

:16:57. > :17:02.to hold a stronger line? -- what journey they did then.

:17:03. > :17:06.It is the ability to manage the numbers of people arriving within

:17:07. > :17:12.the country, with no internal borders. You need internal borders

:17:13. > :17:19.control is to manage people travelling, and offer to provide

:17:20. > :17:23.Santry as well. If you have a sense of the disorder, that causes

:17:24. > :17:27.anxiety. You need proper checks to find out who other refugees who need

:17:28. > :17:31.Santry, who has a safe home to go to? Germany has had trouble doing

:17:32. > :17:34.that. There is an alternative approach,

:17:35. > :17:39.different to Germany, but different from what Britain has been doing,

:17:40. > :17:46.resisting helping. It is possible for us to do our bit in a way that

:17:47. > :17:55.is managed, with proper checks, and retaining border controls.

:17:56. > :17:58.Once beverages are in a country, it is not easy to get rid of them.

:17:59. > :18:04.Sweden says 50% of migrants who put in applications have had them turned

:18:05. > :18:08.down. -- once refugees. The whole point is to have proper

:18:09. > :18:15.assessments in place to find out do people have a safe home to return

:18:16. > :18:19.to, do they need to abide by the normal immigration rules which need

:18:20. > :18:25.to be enforced? If they don't have a safe home, particularly, that means

:18:26. > :18:30.people from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, with terrible conflict, if

:18:31. > :18:34.they have no safe home, we have a tradition of giving sanctuary to

:18:35. > :18:40.those who are fleeing persecution. We often muddled up immigration and

:18:41. > :18:44.asylum, they should be separate. We have strong immigration rules but

:18:45. > :18:49.must do our bit for those who are refugees and fleeing persecution.

:18:50. > :18:53.Let us know your thoughts about that.

:18:54. > :19:00.Thanks for joining us today; still to come.

:19:01. > :19:07.We speak to the first person to have a pancreas transplant but who has a

:19:08. > :19:17.phobia of needles. First, it's the main

:19:18. > :19:19.news this morning. The Government has confirmed it

:19:20. > :19:22.will allow unaccompanied child refugees from Syria to come

:19:23. > :19:25.to Britain in exceptional But it hasn't said how

:19:26. > :19:28.many will be accepted, and it

:19:29. > :19:30.won't take in those who have The Swedish government says up

:19:31. > :19:35.to 80,000 people who sought asylum in the country may have

:19:36. > :19:38.their claims rejected. Over 160,000 migrants

:19:39. > :19:42.applied for asylum in Sweden in 2015, the highest

:19:43. > :19:49.per capita number in Europe. The SNP have called

:19:50. > :19:52.for an investigation into the ?130 million tax deal between

:19:53. > :19:54.HMRC and Google UK. The European Competition

:19:55. > :19:56.Commissioner says she is willing to investigate Google's

:19:57. > :20:04.tax arrangements. A British woman has become the first

:20:05. > :20:06.person in the world to have a pancreas transplant

:20:07. > :20:12.because of a severe needle phobia. Sue York, who has had type 1

:20:13. > :20:14.diabetes since she was seven, would shake uncontrollably and vomit

:20:15. > :20:25.when injecting herself with insulin. SSE is the second of the big six

:20:26. > :20:28.suppliers to announce price Last week E.on said it

:22:23. > :22:24.for an investigation into the tax deal between HMRC and Google UK,

:22:25. > :22:27.despite the web firm defending its ?130 million deal

:22:28. > :22:31.with the tax authorities Later, the European Commission

:22:32. > :22:34.will announce measures to stop tax avoidance

:22:35. > :22:37.by multi-national companies. Earlier, the European Competition

:22:38. > :22:41.Commissioner told Radio 4's Today Programme that so-called sweet-heart

:22:42. > :22:44.deals, in which companies agree an amount of tax to pay to HMRC,

:22:45. > :22:52.were unfair and possibly illegal. I think we should be in a union

:22:53. > :22:56.where everyone has a fair chance If you are a small,

:22:57. > :22:59.innovative company, well, the bigger ones shouldn't close

:23:00. > :23:03.the market and disable your Do you fear this deal between Google

:23:04. > :23:09.and the UK tax authorities is precisely that, a sort

:23:10. > :23:12.of sweetheart deal? Well, that's way too early to say,

:23:13. > :23:15.because I do not know the details But if you are asked

:23:16. > :23:19.to investigate, would you? Well, if we find that there

:23:20. > :23:24.is something to be concerned about, if someone writes to us and says,

:23:25. > :23:27.this is not as it should be, The Deputy Leader of the SNP,

:23:28. > :23:33.Stewart Hosie, has written to the European Commission,

:23:34. > :23:44.calling for an investigation Thank you for joining us.

:23:45. > :23:48.What do you want to see happen? I think an investigation should look

:23:49. > :23:52.into this. When the settlement between Google and HMRC was

:23:53. > :23:56.announced, the Treasury said this is a great deal. Ten Downing St said

:23:57. > :24:04.something rather different. The public are left with an

:24:05. > :24:07.impression that certain large companies can effectively negotiate

:24:08. > :24:11.what it is they may or may not choose to pay. But the average

:24:12. > :24:15.person or business in the street is given the tax demand and heaven help

:24:16. > :24:20.them if they do not pay on time. Let us have the European competition

:24:21. > :24:25.Commissioner look at this, respecting taxpayer confidentiality,

:24:26. > :24:29.and confirm that the tax paid was in fact the tax due, or what ever else

:24:30. > :24:35.she may come across. Google says it complies with tax

:24:36. > :24:39.law, HMRC has investigated the six years. Google says it is being

:24:40. > :24:43.unfairly targeted in a public backlash, what do you say?

:24:44. > :24:49.I saw the statement Google issued, I am pleased they have done it. I hope

:24:50. > :24:54.it is true they paid the tax which is due. Nevertheless, this was a

:24:55. > :25:00.negotiated deal covering a very long period of time. A facility you or I

:25:01. > :25:04.or any local business would not have with the revenue.

:25:05. > :25:08.So there needs to be, not just a level playing field, there has got

:25:09. > :25:10.to be absolute clarity in the public mind that everyone is being treated

:25:11. > :25:15.equally. So, the only way we can do this

:25:16. > :25:19.because we had to respect their internal pussy, is to have the

:25:20. > :25:25.European Commissioner look at this very clearly. If it is above board,

:25:26. > :25:29.brilliant. If she finds as she did with Fiat in Luxembourg, or

:25:30. > :25:33.Starbucks in the Netherlands, that the tax authorities say they should

:25:34. > :25:38.be getting more money, let us have her say that if that is the case.

:25:39. > :25:45.From the Google statement, it says Government makes tax law, and Google

:25:46. > :25:50.complies with the law. Should the tax laws be the focus of scrutiny?

:25:51. > :25:56.No, because Google are right in that sense. Politicians make the law, in

:25:57. > :26:01.this case HMRC enforce it. Businesses or individuals pay the

:26:02. > :26:05.tax due. Her point is the public are seeing large companies negotiating

:26:06. > :26:09.years Erik Lesser worth of tax and coming up with a deal. We can't do

:26:10. > :26:14.that. -- years worth of tax. The focus

:26:15. > :26:18.should not necessarily be on tax law but ensuring to the public that

:26:19. > :26:22.everyone is treated fairly, and some people can't get away with cutting

:26:23. > :26:27.what are known as sweetheart deals. Would you describe this deal is a

:26:28. > :26:30.sweetheart deal? If it is investigated and the tax

:26:31. > :26:36.paid is the tax due, I will be delighted. If it is not what it

:26:37. > :26:43.appears, then perhaps I might. Sir Martin Sorrell, big business

:26:44. > :26:46.person here, says it is a difficult balance for the Government to be

:26:47. > :26:52.open for business and raising revenues to cover deficits.

:26:53. > :26:58.Do you agree? It is. This is an ongoing challenge, since the moment

:26:59. > :27:01.governments had deficits and tax was collected. Getting that balance

:27:02. > :27:06.right will continue to be hard. We have to make sure that we allow

:27:07. > :27:10.proper tax competition. Nothing wrong with that so long as it is

:27:11. > :27:15.sustainable. But making sure when the tax rates are set, the

:27:16. > :27:19.announcers put in place, businesses and individuals actually pay what is

:27:20. > :27:22.due. Stewart Hosie, thank you very much.

:27:23. > :27:24.So, it's all over for British hopeful Johanna Konta

:27:25. > :27:31.After a remarkable run, her bid to become Britain's first

:27:32. > :27:33.female Grand Slam finalist since 1977 ended in a straight sets

:27:34. > :27:35.defeat to Angelique Kerber: 7-5, 6-2.

:27:36. > :27:48.This is the moment the British number one's dream was shattered.

:27:49. > :28:01.After the match, Johanna Konta gave this reaction.

:28:02. > :28:09.I think I did a good job in separating the circumstances of the

:28:10. > :28:12.match, and the gravity of the match, from the actual work at hand which

:28:13. > :28:19.was to go out there and played the best match that I could today. So,

:28:20. > :28:25.no, I went out there with a very clear head. And really gave it all

:28:26. > :28:27.and try to do my best for every single point. And, yes, I really

:28:28. > :28:29.enjoyed the experience. But Britain will be represented

:28:30. > :28:32.in at least one final in Melbourne. Jamie Murray and his Brazilian

:28:33. > :28:35.partner Bruno Soares will compete for the men's doubles title

:28:36. > :28:37.after a straight-sets Let's talk about this

:28:38. > :28:44.now with Amanda Owens, a former Great British

:28:45. > :28:46.tennis player, who is now Roberto Forzoni, who was Johanna's

:28:47. > :28:52.mind coach from 2007-2009. Andrew Rozanov, a tennis star

:28:53. > :28:55.of the future, who's 16, and currently ranked

:28:56. > :29:10.12th in his age group. Amanda, as a former player, when you

:29:11. > :29:12.look at what she has achieved, what do you think?

:29:13. > :29:17.I am really proud of her and delighted by her progress. She came

:29:18. > :29:30.across brilliantly, dealing with the pressure of the situation.

:29:31. > :29:34.And has progressed her post-match interviews have been impressive.

:29:35. > :29:38.But, overall, her capacity to deal with the amount of pressure she has

:29:39. > :29:43.been under has been fantastic. She will go on to great things.

:29:44. > :29:46.Would she have been aware of that growing public pressure?

:29:47. > :29:52.At the start, most of us weren't really aware of her. She was not

:29:53. > :29:56.doing so brilliantly last year. All of a sudden, she has sprung onto the

:29:57. > :30:03.scene. People have been getting behind her and willing her on.

:30:04. > :30:08.As a tennis player, you have to be able, as she said, had to be able to

:30:09. > :30:12.put things in a box. She focused on the match, her game plan. Of course

:30:13. > :30:14.the pressure would have mounted. I thought she dealt with it

:30:15. > :30:21.brilliantly. I did stay up and watch the first

:30:22. > :30:27.set. The first set was very close. I would say there were one or two

:30:28. > :30:32.critical moments, 5-5, a tough call. But she came back in the first set

:30:33. > :30:35.as well. She has the capacity to go on to great things and she has done

:30:36. > :30:40.brilliantly. She can deal with pressure.

:30:41. > :30:46.You have worked with her, are you proud of her? She's fantastic. As

:30:47. > :30:50.Amanda says, she's been developing over the years and I'm impressed

:30:51. > :30:54.with her engagement with psychology. She still has a mind coach and you

:30:55. > :30:57.can tell by her post-match interviews the way she's thinking.

:30:58. > :31:02.We try to get the players thinking in a different way, a more strategic

:31:03. > :31:06.way really. How do you do that, build mental toughness? There are

:31:07. > :31:10.all different strategies, but some of them, you would get them talking

:31:11. > :31:15.in a different way. The player, for example, will say, I can't do that

:31:16. > :31:19.or this, on the you try and take that out of their language right

:31:20. > :31:22.away, get them doing the controllable aspects of the match,

:31:23. > :31:25.some players will play in the past or in the future. In the past would

:31:26. > :31:28.be when they make a mistake, for example, and they are thinking about

:31:29. > :31:32.that mistake. In the future they might be leading and thinking, I

:31:33. > :31:35.could win this, or if they are losing what will someone say, so you

:31:36. > :31:38.try and get them to condense that thought process down into exactly

:31:39. > :31:42.what they are doing at that moment and I think... Very hard though

:31:43. > :31:47.isn't it when you are down? It is hard, but that is why you need the

:31:48. > :31:53.training in that aspect of the match because at that level psychology

:31:54. > :31:58.plays such an important part. Andrew, how inspiring is it when you

:31:59. > :32:03.see Johanna doing so well and Andy Murray and other Brits there, Andy's

:32:04. > :32:09.brother as well? It's incredible we had three Brits in the semis and to

:32:10. > :32:16.have Jamie now in the final, especially for my age category and

:32:17. > :32:20.group, we always had Murray, Andy, and Jamie, sort of flying the

:32:21. > :32:26.British flag and I think it's incredibly inspiring now to have a

:32:27. > :32:30.British woman as well who's up there who's made semis in the four major

:32:31. > :32:35.tournaments of the year. It's inspiring, not just for other girls

:32:36. > :32:40.and women taking up the sport, but for everyone who is engaging in the

:32:41. > :32:44.sport. Roberto was talking about the importance of mental approach to the

:32:45. > :32:47.game and Johanna's spoken about that and how the help that she has

:32:48. > :32:54.received on that front has been transformative for her. What do you

:32:55. > :33:03.do along those lines? It's undeniable that the mental aspect is

:33:04. > :33:07.probably the most important aspect of tennis because you get to a level

:33:08. > :33:11.where everyone has great physical capabilities and what defines great

:33:12. > :33:17.from good is how well you can deal with certain situations in a match.

:33:18. > :33:22.Having played several, I know first hand how tough it is to be able to

:33:23. > :33:31.play in the present and not think about what's happened in the past

:33:32. > :33:34.towards what goes in the future. Not enough players give enough

:33:35. > :33:39.importance to that. Amanda, last year, she lost her LTA funding? Yes.

:33:40. > :33:43.For a lot of people that would be a blow and would knock you back, but

:33:44. > :33:47.it hasn't, she's gone from strength-to-strength? And that shows

:33:48. > :33:53.the re-Zyl Jens she has. Also, the fact that she's a real fighter, but

:33:54. > :33:58.her behaviour on the court, I was very impressed as a sports

:33:59. > :34:02.psychologist, it might have been down to Roberto -- resilience. She's

:34:03. > :34:07.able to control her emotions in the right way. She bounces back, her

:34:08. > :34:11.mistake management was excellent, so when you make a mistake, it's about

:34:12. > :34:16.resetting your focus. So you are making me remember the sort of

:34:17. > :34:21.people in the past who have reacted in certain ways to making mistakes

:34:22. > :34:26.on court, John McEnroe for instance, how does that feed in, he did really

:34:27. > :34:31.well but his approach, you felt like he was beating himself up on the

:34:32. > :34:35.court? It was a very clever mind game. He'd actually kind of

:34:36. > :34:39.deconstruct his opponent the other side of the net by getting cross. It

:34:40. > :34:42.was a distraction technique, very clever. Was that coming from him,

:34:43. > :34:48.because was there as much knowledge of all this back then? Yes. Sports

:34:49. > :34:52.psychology was around then. I would say McEnroe at that point yes he was

:34:53. > :34:57.very volatile, you know, his temperament was such that he'd get

:34:58. > :35:01.overly angry but he used it to his advantage and sports psychology was

:35:02. > :35:05.around back then. Roberto, how well do you think she can potentially to

:35:06. > :35:11.now? She can do very well. She can go on and be a slam winner for sure.

:35:12. > :35:14.Her progress over the last eight years, the trajectory is steep and

:35:15. > :35:17.she's going to continue. The benefit and experience of taking part in a

:35:18. > :35:22.semi-final of a slam, that's just going to give her more incentive to

:35:23. > :35:26.work even harder because she knows she can play at that level now. That

:35:27. > :35:29.the is a great thing for her self-confidence. What does having

:35:30. > :35:33.the British public behind you do, because obviously that will give a

:35:34. > :35:40.boost to someone but add an extra dimension of pressure as well? It

:35:41. > :35:43.does but I always go back to Billie Jean King when she says pressure is

:35:44. > :35:49.a privilege. So there is pressure but I always say to the players, why

:35:50. > :35:52.are you doing it, and they think, it's a great sport, they don't think

:35:53. > :35:56.about the pressure. They think, I love to be here and progress to the

:35:57. > :36:00.semi-final and if I got to the final it would be even more and you ask,

:36:01. > :36:04.do you want that pressure and they weigh it up and go, actually yes I

:36:05. > :36:09.do, so they think about it in a different way. Pressure tells you

:36:10. > :36:12.that you are where you want to be even though it's uncomfortable and

:36:13. > :36:15.not many people can get there. It can be reframed to mean something

:36:16. > :36:19.else to a player. Players have spoken about the pressure and

:36:20. > :36:26.obviously found it unbearable. How do you see that pressure, Andrew? I

:36:27. > :36:31.have to agree that pressure can be incredibly detrimental to your game.

:36:32. > :36:34.What happens is, you tend to overthink shots, so a ball which you

:36:35. > :36:39.may have time on, you start thinking, what do I play here, what

:36:40. > :36:45.EU play now and everything can spiral out of control. But, if you

:36:46. > :36:49.do think about pressure in this way, as it is a privilege, and you are

:36:50. > :36:54.where you want to be because you are feeling this pressure, it can be

:36:55. > :36:58.used to your advantage. It's essential that you understand why

:36:59. > :37:02.you still play the game, you play because you love and not because you

:37:03. > :37:07.want to win or you want to impress someone, you play for enjoyment.

:37:08. > :37:10.Amanda, she only got British citizenship in 2012, played for

:37:11. > :37:14.Australia prior to that. Do you think that will be an issue at all

:37:15. > :37:21.in her getting the British public behind her fully? Not at all. I

:37:22. > :37:25.think we need players like Jo and certainly I gather that the

:37:26. > :37:36.Australian public have tried to recapture or reclaim her! It won't

:37:37. > :37:39.be an issue. As Roberto said and it's been brought up today, as long

:37:40. > :37:44.as she can perceive the pressure as a privilege which she does, I've

:37:45. > :37:47.been very impressed by how she copes with pressure, especially on the key

:37:48. > :37:51.points and, you know, I think she'll go on to great things. The British

:37:52. > :37:57.public will be behind her. I think it's great to see the success and we

:37:58. > :38:01.need the success in British tennis. I'm going to read some comments from

:38:02. > :38:11.viewers. We are talking about people getting behind her. In the UK we are

:38:12. > :38:17.desperate for tennis success we call Konta British and she's Aussie, LJ

:38:18. > :38:20.on Twitter all of a sudden she's doing well, we are hailing her,

:38:21. > :38:24.hence adding to her pressure. Sounds like she's been able to, actually in

:38:25. > :38:29.the background, build up her strength physically and mentally and

:38:30. > :38:34.hopefully she'll go on to what? Well, she's the British number one

:38:35. > :38:39.but will go on to great things. Wimbledon is a whole lot of pressure

:38:40. > :38:44.isn't it? Absolutely. I agree with Roberto, I think she can cope with

:38:45. > :38:48.it well. She's going to jump in the rankings I believe to 27-28 next

:38:49. > :38:55.week which is phenomenal. 147 last year? Yes and then to jump to 27 in

:38:56. > :39:01.the world is just the best British female ranking for over 30 years. So

:39:02. > :39:04.I think we've got a player that can deal with the pressure and she's

:39:05. > :39:10.learn howing to do that as well and she will go on to greater things and

:39:11. > :39:20.I think more slam semis and finals. Let's hope. Thank you all. Still do

:39:21. > :39:23.come, imagine having to inject yourself with insulin every day for

:39:24. > :39:28.nearly 50 years with a needle phobia. The first person in the

:39:45. > :39:47.at home, and getting doctors to carry out ward rounds

:39:48. > :39:51.We can speak now to Phil McCarvill from the NHS Confederation.

:40:06. > :40:12.Thank you both for coming in. Phil, first of all, give us some of the

:40:13. > :40:17.key headlines for the report and where they are being let down? It's

:40:18. > :40:21.a question of the NHS failing older people, it's about the fact that we

:40:22. > :40:26.have an ageing population, very different to when the NHS was set up

:40:27. > :40:28.in 1948. It's about how we respond to an ageing population, one in

:40:29. > :40:32.which people have more complex conditions and it's about getting

:40:33. > :40:36.the care in the right place at the right time for them and making sure

:40:37. > :40:40.we keep people well and supported at home as long as possible, that we

:40:41. > :40:43.have the right balance of community services and absolutely that when

:40:44. > :40:47.they need hospital care, they have access to it and they have support

:40:48. > :40:52.and they go into hospital and receive the right quality of care

:40:53. > :40:56.and also then support is there when they come out of hospital so they

:40:57. > :41:00.can remain out of hospital and live at home. It sounds like an obvious

:41:01. > :41:05.wish list and it's not something that hasn't been said before. Why is

:41:06. > :41:08.it that we get successive reports and it seems that nothing changes.

:41:09. > :41:13.What do you think will happen with this report? We have identified over

:41:14. > :41:16.a series of reports and commissions, a series of problems

:41:17. > :41:20.a series of reports and commissions, issues. What we do in this report,

:41:21. > :41:23.we have looked at where are the really good examples of where care

:41:24. > :41:27.is being delivered in the right place, so in someone's home, what is

:41:28. > :41:33.working well in terms of community services and care homes, but also

:41:34. > :41:37.what is working well in hospitals. We have good examples of where we

:41:38. > :41:42.are changing the way we deliver NHS services. For example in Sheffield

:41:43. > :41:44.and the Royal Berkshire, we are seeing consultants seeing people at

:41:45. > :41:50.the earliest possible opportunity when they go into the A unit and

:41:51. > :41:53.that changes the way that they experience services because they'll

:41:54. > :41:57.either be discharged much quicker or they'll be admitted and the package

:41:58. > :42:02.of care that's put together will be the right one for them. Chris,

:42:03. > :42:05.Hertfordshire has been singled out in the report for praise, what are

:42:06. > :42:09.you doing particularly well? Looking at both the NHS care delivered to

:42:10. > :42:14.people and also the social care delivered to older people for making

:42:15. > :42:17.meals, getting dressed and wash and so forth and looking at how the

:42:18. > :42:21.different professionals can work together, whether it be a nurse, a

:42:22. > :42:24.physio, and forgetting what organisation they work for, but

:42:25. > :42:28.looking at the needs of the people and how we can meet those. Give us

:42:29. > :42:33.some clear examples then of things that have been done where you are

:42:34. > :42:36.which aren't being done elsewhere? We have started working with care

:42:37. > :42:41.homes making sure there is a GP linked to each care home that does

:42:42. > :42:45.the equivalent of a ward round in a care home making sure they are

:42:46. > :42:51.looking at issues that could control up and deal with them issues as

:42:52. > :42:57.quickly as possible, making sure the staff are able to look after them in

:42:58. > :43:01.the care home, making sure they don't go to A unnecessarily. We

:43:02. > :43:05.get the services and specialists to the care home really quickly rather

:43:06. > :43:14.than that individual having to go to hospital when they don't really need

:43:15. > :43:19.to. That sounds like a simple thing to do. Is it ex-pintive? It's

:43:20. > :43:23.cheaper in the long run. If we can get this set up and avoid people

:43:24. > :43:26.going to hospital, we can keep hospital for people that really

:43:27. > :43:29.knead to be there. It should be something that's better care for the

:43:30. > :43:32.individual because they are treated in their own home or in the care

:43:33. > :43:36.home and saves the whole system money, social care and the NHS. Any

:43:37. > :43:41.other examples of things you are doing? We are looking at lonelines

:43:42. > :43:46.which we think is a big issue, over two million people over 75 live at

:43:47. > :43:50.home. In Hertfordshire we have supported Age UK to get volunteers

:43:51. > :43:53.to befriend people who're on their own either when they are in hospital

:43:54. > :43:57.or in the community to give them support and company. We know

:43:58. > :44:02.lonelines can be a real problem in terms of making people unwell,

:44:03. > :44:06.stressed and worried. Actually, just someone to talk to them, make them a

:44:07. > :44:10.cup of tea, can make a difference and it doesn't cost much. What

:44:11. > :44:14.impact has that had? A big ill pact on individuals, not coming into

:44:15. > :44:17.hospital as much. We have been able to support people leaving hospital

:44:18. > :44:21.in a timely fashion because we know that we can have someone from Age UK

:44:22. > :44:25.that are supporting a volunteer to maybe go and turn the heating on

:44:26. > :44:32.when they come back, buy them milk and give them little things. How

:44:33. > :44:36.come Hertfordshire is doing this, where did the drive come from, was

:44:37. > :44:40.it one particular individual? Really, we talked to patients and

:44:41. > :44:45.people that use our services and social care and that's what they

:44:46. > :44:50.want. Often what they want is simple things and we sometimes

:44:51. > :44:53.overcomplicate it. Doing simple things around social contact,

:44:54. > :44:56.getting professionals from different organisations to forget about the

:44:57. > :45:00.organisations and work together as a team, putting the patient at the

:45:01. > :45:04.need of the heart of what is needed. Thank you both.

:45:05. > :45:17.What have you got for us? We have a variety. But the wind will be a

:45:18. > :45:21.feature. We are looking at severe gales and even strong gale force

:45:22. > :45:27.winds. Why is this happening, I hear you cry. I've given up asking, the

:45:28. > :45:31.weather is just so weird and contradictory all the time. Tell us

:45:32. > :45:36.why? Certainly varied, that's for sure. At the moment there is a

:45:37. > :45:39.temperature difference between Arctic Canada and Newfoundland, so

:45:40. > :45:44.that's energised the jet stream quite a lot. You can see that aisles

:45:45. > :45:48.illustrated here, the warm air bumping into the cold air. With a

:45:49. > :45:53.strong jet stream, it really enhances the storms and that is what

:45:54. > :46:00.is happening just now, low pressure areas whizzing across the shores. If

:46:01. > :46:03.for example you are flying to America, it can slow you down, but

:46:04. > :46:10.if you are coming back, well it can speed things up. It happened to me

:46:11. > :46:11.last week, I got back an hour early! But then we were stacked over

:46:12. > :46:26.Gatwick so it didn't help. And, still picking up stories. We

:46:27. > :46:31.are going to have this scenario on and off until Monday. Really strong

:46:32. > :46:37.winds. Time to batten down the hatches. Not as prolific in the

:46:38. > :46:45.south-east. Time is going on, as ever. Yes, it is a busy time. I will

:46:46. > :46:49.press on. Today, but we have is a prior weight quiet start. Some of us

:46:50. > :46:53.have had some frost but we've also seen sunshine and showers. If

:46:54. > :46:57.anything, the showers developing as we go through the day to give us

:46:58. > :47:01.longer spells of rain. We have that snow at 200 metres this morning,

:47:02. > :47:06.that level will rise as we go through the day. Into this

:47:07. > :47:10.afternoon, for Southern counties, especially the south-west, you could

:47:11. > :47:14.catch the odd shower. Most of us will miss them. It is the same

:47:15. > :47:18.across East Anglia and parts of the East Midlands. Then we will get

:47:19. > :47:22.thicker cloud, with heavy rain across Wales, north-west England and

:47:23. > :47:26.the Pennines. Northern Ireland and Scotland, the showers merging to

:47:27. > :47:30.give longer spells of rain. The snow level will actually retreat higher

:47:31. > :47:38.up into the Scottish mountains. But it is going to be windy and the wind

:47:39. > :47:40.will be a feature of the weather. Heading through this evening and

:47:41. > :47:43.overnight, more rain coming in, following an already rain sensitive

:47:44. > :47:53.areas. There is the risk of local flooding. We will be looking at

:47:54. > :47:55.gusts of wind. Strong winds we are expecting across the far north of

:47:56. > :47:59.mainland Scotland and also the Northern Isles. If you are

:48:00. > :48:05.travelling tomorrow morning, bear that in mind. It could lead to some

:48:06. > :48:09.destruction but we will keep you updated here. -- some disruption.

:48:10. > :48:12.BBC local radio will do the same job. Across Scotland and Northern

:48:13. > :48:20.Ireland and northern England, gusty winds. These are the values you can

:48:21. > :48:24.expect. 60 mph across the Northern Isles and mainland Scotland. Here,

:48:25. > :48:30.we're looking at strong force, between 80 and 90 mph. We're keeping

:48:31. > :48:35.a close eye on these warnings because they may actually be

:48:36. > :48:38.increased. Something to out for. The rain will continue to drift steadily

:48:39. > :48:43.southwards as we go through the rest of the moral, becoming weaker as it

:48:44. > :48:46.does so. Behind it, we're back into that mixture of sunshine and showers

:48:47. > :48:51.but again it will feel cold wherever you are with the wind. And we will

:48:52. > :48:58.cease no showers mainly on the hills of Scotland. These are the values.

:48:59. > :49:01.That leads us into Saturday morning. Conditions across northern Scotland

:49:02. > :49:05.are going to be atrocious. We will have blizzards on the hills and will

:49:06. > :49:09.be snowdrifts as well. For all of us, it is going to be a cold start.

:49:10. > :49:15.As we go through the day, a showers this far south could have a wintry

:49:16. > :49:19.components to them. The very nature of the word shower tells us that not

:49:20. > :49:23.all of us will see them. The potential is certainly there. Again,

:49:24. > :49:27.it is going to feel cold. Not as likely on Sunday but we are back to

:49:28. > :49:31.square one on Monday with more deals or severe gales.

:49:32. > :49:34.Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us.

:49:35. > :49:42.The British woman who doctors say has become the first

:49:43. > :49:45.person ever to have a pancreas transplant because of a severe

:49:46. > :49:51.phobia of needles speaks to us exclusively.

:49:52. > :49:54.The UK agrees to take in more child refugees from Syria who've been

:49:55. > :50:03.We will get the latest from Damascus.

:50:04. > :50:20.The government has confirmed it will allow unaccompanied child

:50:21. > :50:24.refugees from Syria to come to Britain in exceptional

:50:25. > :50:26.circumstances - but it hasn't said how many will be accepted,

:50:27. > :50:31.and it won't take in those who have already fled to Europe.

:50:32. > :50:38.It is right to help those who are close to Syria. It is the children

:50:39. > :50:42.who are alone in Europe now who we should be really worried about,

:50:43. > :50:48.because they are so vulnerable to gangs. I have met 11 or

:50:49. > :50:52.12-year-olds, a similar age to my children, who are alone with nobody

:50:53. > :50:56.to look after them in Calais, and they really need somebody to look

:50:57. > :50:58.after them and care for them. They are so much at risk.

:50:59. > :51:01.The Swedish government says up to eighty thousand people who sought

:51:02. > :51:03.asylum in the country may have their claims rejected.

:51:04. > :51:05.Over 160,000 migrants applied for asylum in Sweden in 2015,

:51:06. > :51:17.the highest per capita number in Europe.

:51:18. > :51:27.Economy grew by 2.3% over the last three months. That is according to

:51:28. > :51:28.the office for National statistics but it leaves annual growth down by

:51:29. > :51:29.2.9%. The SNP have called

:51:30. > :51:32.for an investigation into the tax The European Competition

:51:33. > :51:36.Commissioner says she would be willing to investigate

:51:37. > :51:38.Google's tax arrangements. A British woman has become

:51:39. > :51:40.the first person in the world to have a pancreas transplant

:51:41. > :51:49.because of a severe needle phobia. Sue York, who has had type-1

:51:50. > :51:51.diabetes since she was seven, would shake uncontrollably and vomit

:51:52. > :51:55.when injecting herself with insulin. She had to do that twice a day over

:51:56. > :52:00.nearly 50 years. We'll talk to her live

:52:01. > :52:02.in just a moment. The UK's 2nd biggest energy supplier

:52:03. > :52:08.SSE is to cut its standard domestic The company says the move will take

:52:09. > :52:14.effect at the end of March. SSE is the 2nd of the big 6

:52:15. > :52:17.suppliers to announce Three dead sperm whales which became

:52:18. > :52:20.stranded on the Lincolnshire coast It took a team of workers

:52:21. > :52:24.at Skegness five hours They've been taken to landfill

:52:25. > :52:27.sites around the country. Let's catch up with all the sport

:52:28. > :52:31.now and join Katherine Downes. So it's the end of the road

:52:32. > :52:33.for Johanna Konta in

:52:34. > :52:41.the Australian Open. But not all British hope over? It is

:52:42. > :52:48.a bit of a purple patch. What an achievement for Johanna Conder. --

:52:49. > :52:52.Johanna Konta. Beaten by somebody way above her in terms of the

:52:53. > :52:57.rankings. Jamie Murray is through and Andy Murray still to come. It

:52:58. > :52:59.could be an exciting few days and an exciting future for British tennis

:53:00. > :53:03.because we have the French open coming up in May and you can

:53:04. > :53:07.guarantee that Johanna Konta will be just chomping at the bit to get

:53:08. > :53:13.going there after she has done so well. But it was not to be fur. She

:53:14. > :53:20.was hoping to be the first female Brit since Virginia Wade to reach

:53:21. > :53:26.the final a major but she last in straight sets. Her opponent was just

:53:27. > :53:29.too consistent. She was hoping to become the first

:53:30. > :53:32.female Brit since Virginia Wade to reach the final of a major,

:53:33. > :53:35.but lost her Australian Open semi-final in straight

:53:36. > :53:36.sets overnight. She showed some impressive form

:53:37. > :53:38.against Angelique Kerber, coming back from 3-love

:53:39. > :53:40.down in the first set. But the German was too

:53:41. > :53:43.consistent and won 7-5, 6-2. Kerber will face Serena

:53:44. > :53:47.Williams in the final. I think I did a good job in

:53:48. > :53:50.separating the circumstances of the match and the gravity of the match

:53:51. > :53:53.from the actual work that I had had, which was to go out there and play

:53:54. > :53:56.the best match I could today. So I went out there with a very clear

:53:57. > :54:00.head, and I really give it my all and tried to do my best for every

:54:01. > :54:03.single point. I really enjoyed the experience. You can hear the

:54:04. > :54:05.confidence in her voice. There will be at least one British

:54:06. > :54:08.player in the final in Melbourne. Jamie Murray and partner Bruno

:54:09. > :54:10.Soares won their men's doubles semi. Murray has lost his last two

:54:11. > :54:13.appearances in grand slam finals - at Wimbledon and the US Open -

:54:14. > :54:25.so his hoping to make it third time It is huge. Other than the Davis

:54:26. > :54:32.Cup, that is the biggest thing I can win in my career, a Grand Slam.

:54:33. > :54:36.Unfortunately, I lost two last year. It is not a great feeling to do

:54:37. > :54:40.that. Of course you are proud of yourself for getting that far and it

:54:41. > :54:41.is a great achievement but once you get there, obviously you want to

:54:42. > :54:42.win. Manchester City will face Liverpool

:54:43. > :54:46.in the League Cup Final. Everton came to the Etihad

:54:47. > :54:49.with a 2-1 lead from the first leg, and they went ahead through this

:54:50. > :54:55.cracker from Ross Barkley. But a Sergio Aguero

:54:56. > :54:57.winner clinched it. Tyson Fury has been reminded

:54:58. > :55:02.by boxing authorities of his responsibilities as a role

:55:03. > :55:05.model, following comments he made which were deemed

:55:06. > :55:09.sexist and homophobic. The World Heavyweight Champion told

:55:10. > :55:12.the British Boxing Board of Control he understood the responsibilities

:55:13. > :55:14.upon him and expressed regret And how about this to tick

:55:15. > :55:23.off your bucket list? Most people are happy if they get

:55:24. > :55:26.to just see the Northern Lights. This paraglider in Norway had

:55:27. > :55:28.a very different ambition. Horacio Llorens said the opportunity

:55:29. > :55:34.of 'dancing with Aurora' was something he simply

:55:35. > :55:47.couldn't turn down. Perhaps not sporting action but look

:55:48. > :55:51.at those pictures. What a way to experience the Northern lights.

:55:52. > :55:54.Amazing. Thank you very much and thank you for joining us this

:55:55. > :55:59.morning. Welcome to the programme if you are just joining us.

:56:00. > :56:07.We're on BBC 2 and the BBC News Channel until 11 this morning.

:56:08. > :56:10.This morning we've been telling you about plans to allow child

:56:11. > :56:13.refugees from Syria and other conflict zones to live in the UK.

:56:14. > :56:15.The government says it will take in unaccompanied children under

:56:16. > :56:19.the age of 18 - but it hasn't said how many and those already in Europe

:56:20. > :56:32.Lots of you getting in touch. Kirsty on e-mail:

:56:33. > :56:41.We love getting your thoughts so keep them coming.

:56:42. > :56:43.Texts will be charged at the standard network rate.

:56:44. > :56:45.Wherever you are you can watch our programme online -

:56:46. > :56:47.via the bbc news app or our website bbc.co.uk/victoria.

:56:48. > :56:50.A British woman has become the first person in the world

:56:51. > :56:53.to have a pancreas transplant because of a severe needle phobia.

:56:54. > :56:56.Sue York, who has had type-1 diabetes since she was seven,

:56:57. > :56:58.would shake uncontrollably and vomit when injecting herself with insulin,

:56:59. > :57:01.all because her pancreas wasn't making the essential hormone.

:57:02. > :57:06.She had to do this twice a day for nearly 50 years.

:57:07. > :57:08.Our bodies need insulin to work properly.

:57:09. > :57:11.It helps us to use the glucose in our blood

:57:12. > :57:15.Sue needed to inject herself with insulin twice a day for nearly

:57:16. > :57:17.50 years in order to regulate her blood sugar levels.

:57:18. > :57:28.Doctors say the surgery is a world's first and has prolonged her life.

:57:29. > :57:30.Sue's husband Rob is with us too who's supported her

:57:31. > :57:33.through the eligibility process of become a pancreas donor recipient

:57:34. > :57:34.after watching her health start to nosedive.

:57:35. > :57:44.And we're joined by Sue's surgeon, from Salford. Thank you very much.

:57:45. > :57:48.You look the picture of health. I feel it. Thank you. It has obviously

:57:49. > :57:53.transformed your life but tell us more about why it was. Obviously you

:57:54. > :57:56.had the diabetes but the reason you ended up qualifying for this

:57:57. > :58:02.transplant that has transformed your life was because of your fear of

:58:03. > :58:07.needles. I had a very severe needle phobic. It began from my first visit

:58:08. > :58:11.to hospital when I was seven after I was diagnosed. I was exceptionally

:58:12. > :58:16.poorly. Obviously I had been unwell for a period of about three years

:58:17. > :58:21.and I had been backward and forward is to hospital. I finally got

:58:22. > :58:25.diagnosed, taken to hospital, and I began to have a severe needle

:58:26. > :58:29.phobic. From the first time they took blood, I found it very

:58:30. > :58:33.traumatic and my mother was sent out of the room. Consequently, after a

:58:34. > :58:39.long period of injecting insulin twice a day, I reached a critical

:58:40. > :58:44.point when the DVLA changed the rules and regulations for diabetic

:58:45. > :58:50.drivers in 2012. Prior to that, they had advised on what you should do,

:58:51. > :58:54.but instead it became law that you had to finger prick before you got

:58:55. > :59:00.in a car to drive. You should finger prick every two hours if you were on

:59:01. > :59:03.a long journey. If you were doing a short journey, like I was doing,

:59:04. > :59:11.because of competitions to diabetes, which made it hard for me to walk

:59:12. > :59:15.uphill or into the wind, because of my angina, I would be taking my dog

:59:16. > :59:19.in the car a very short distance to the park and then I would put her

:59:20. > :59:22.back in the car after exercise, perhaps go and do some shopping and

:59:23. > :59:27.come home. Technically, what I should have done was to have checked

:59:28. > :59:31.my blood sugar levels every time I got back in the car because I was

:59:32. > :59:37.doing physical activity that could lower my blood sugar. To me, that

:59:38. > :59:41.was overwhelming. Describe what it was like. You have told us when it

:59:42. > :59:48.started, and I'm sure everyone can empathise. The way insulin reacts

:59:49. > :59:54.with skin tissue, it damages it. It hardens it. And you rotate your

:59:55. > :59:59.injection sites to try to avoid this. But when you are very young,

:00:00. > :00:07.and you are struggling with needle phobia is, -- with a needle phobic,

:00:08. > :00:13.struggling to inject yourself, you go where feels safe. Did you have to

:00:14. > :00:18.inject yourself? Yes, they encourage you to inject yourself from the word

:00:19. > :00:23.go. Within two weeks of being admitted, I was injecting myself.

:00:24. > :00:29.You practice on an orange. And how did it make you feel? Horrendous. I

:00:30. > :00:34.was terrified and I would cry. When I came home from hospital, my mother

:00:35. > :00:39.was fantastic. She sat with me in morning and she would hold my leg

:00:40. > :00:44.for me, to put the needle in. But it would take me up to 20 minutes to do

:00:45. > :00:49.it. It was just heartbreaking. I hated it. And it just got worse over

:00:50. > :00:53.the years? Describe the physical impact on your body, when you would

:00:54. > :00:57.be anticipating having to do it and then actually having to do it. The

:00:58. > :01:01.anticipation is part of the issue because you build up to it. You

:01:02. > :01:05.cannot help but do that. It is something you are dealing with every

:01:06. > :01:08.day of your life, twice a day more frequently, if you are trying to

:01:09. > :01:13.finger prick, which I found impossible to do on top of two

:01:14. > :01:20.injections. I would measure the insulin out, I got it so that I

:01:21. > :01:23.could do that and distance myself, switch myself off, but when it came

:01:24. > :01:30.to actually putting the needle into my body, that was a very different

:01:31. > :01:33.issue and I would shake. Sometimes I would shake uncontrollably, as you

:01:34. > :01:36.said, and I would have to put it down and walk away. Other times,

:01:37. > :01:43.because I would begin to feel extremely sick, sometimes I would

:01:44. > :01:48.vomit. It got to a point where I was beginning to seriously struggle to

:01:49. > :01:51.actually maintain two injections a day. I did because you know that

:01:52. > :01:57.your life relies on it and you have no option, you have to do it, but it

:01:58. > :02:01.was becoming horrendous. As I say, when the DVLA changed the rules,

:02:02. > :02:07.that was the point where something in me gave and I approached my

:02:08. > :02:10.diabetic doctor and said that something had to give. I need to be

:02:11. > :02:27.considered for some level of transplant.

:02:28. > :02:33.I came away from the sessions with prompts in my mind which, as soon as

:02:34. > :02:38.I used them gave me an instant calm. However, on the third time, I was

:02:39. > :02:41.very receptive to hypnotism. I went into such a deep transthat I came

:02:42. > :02:52.out of it remembering absolutely nothing.

:02:53. > :02:57.Suddenly I went from having something that fair enough it would

:02:58. > :03:01.wear off as the week continued but instead of something being there

:03:02. > :03:06.that I could pull out of my mind and use, I went to having nothing and I

:03:07. > :03:09.thought if I'm too susceptible to hypnotherapy and this will happen

:03:10. > :03:14.every time, it's not going to work because I need to be aware, I need

:03:15. > :03:22.to have an awareness, so at the suggestion of a diabetic nurse at my

:03:23. > :03:25.local surgery, I tried CBT. We tried two different types, but

:03:26. > :03:29.unfortunately it didn't work very well, the first was horrendous. Rob,

:03:30. > :03:34.what was it like over the years having to watch Sue go through this

:03:35. > :03:38.and endure that? It's been the last five years that have been worse

:03:39. > :03:44.because of health deterioration as well. When I came into our

:03:45. > :03:49.relationship, I accepted life may not go on beyond 50 or 50-odd

:03:50. > :03:55.because of complications from diabetes, that was part of the

:03:56. > :03:59.package basically. Bewhen you have been the person who's been running

:04:00. > :04:04.behind Sue down the road because you couldn't keep up, the person you

:04:05. > :04:08.knew couldn't get up the stairs, that's the different three, four,

:04:09. > :04:13.five years made and that was quite awful really. Knowing that the

:04:14. > :04:21.future was only going to get worse, that was quite daunting. Going from

:04:22. > :04:26.someone who's normally fit as a butcher's dog, to almost being

:04:27. > :04:29.incapable of going shopping is terrible, but thanks to Dr Rahman,

:04:30. > :04:34.things have turned round fantastically. Let's bring him in,

:04:35. > :04:37.because he's the man that did this transplant that has changed your

:04:38. > :04:43.life. Amazing, yes. Do you want to say hi to him. Hi! Brilliant to see

:04:44. > :04:46.you! Good to see you and hear from both of you. It's great to have you

:04:47. > :04:50.joining us, thank you. Thank you very much for having me. We have

:04:51. > :04:55.been hearing so much about Sue's needle phobia which was the criteria

:04:56. > :05:01.in the end for her actually getting the pancreatic transplant. When you

:05:02. > :05:04.met Sue, had you ever come across something this extreme which could

:05:05. > :05:08.only be addressed with a transplant like that? It was a very hard

:05:09. > :05:18.decision to make in Sue's case because this was clearly very

:05:19. > :05:25.exceptional. We have set guidelines for patients to go on the list for

:05:26. > :05:33.pancreas transplant because, as you always know, there are always

:05:34. > :05:38.ongoing lists of organs needed. Sue was seen by one of my colleagues who

:05:39. > :05:45.first assessed her in the clinic and my encounter with her the first time

:05:46. > :05:51.was when I saw her on the ward waiting for the transplant. Clearly

:05:52. > :05:59.she was very terrified. My main worry was how we are even going to

:06:00. > :06:01.get some blood tests before the anaesthetist actually decided her

:06:02. > :06:05.suitability to go ahead with the transplant.

:06:06. > :06:10.A very good point, Sue, I mean going through the whole lot must have been

:06:11. > :06:13.traumatic in itself? I was very, very fortunate because, although it

:06:14. > :06:18.took a considerable period of time to get me on the list, you're

:06:19. > :06:23.supposed to, once on the list, you have a various blood test routine

:06:24. > :06:27.which is monthly and that for me was horrendous, the idea of having all

:06:28. > :06:32.of this blood taken every month. But I got the phone call on the 21st day

:06:33. > :06:37.of being on the list, it was really fast and it was just amazing. It's

:06:38. > :06:41.like, oh, I've had this done once, I've not got to have them done

:06:42. > :06:50.again. That was amazing. Big relief? Yes. But poor Dr Dhanda knows when

:06:51. > :06:57.trying to insert a canula into me, I was just in a terrible state and he

:06:58. > :07:02.couldn't get the canula in at all. Our main worry was that once we'd

:07:03. > :07:06.given her a pancreas transplant, it was one big operation she was going

:07:07. > :07:11.to undergo, but the main concern was, in order to monitor the

:07:12. > :07:15.function of the organ, she would still need blood tests and that was

:07:16. > :07:20.the greatest dilemma, so we just wanted the operation to go right for

:07:21. > :07:25.her and it did in her case and she actually sailed through the

:07:26. > :07:28.operation. I'm very pleased for her. People watching will be absolutely

:07:29. > :07:35.taken with the decorrespondention of your life before and the failing

:07:36. > :07:41.health and how you you are a picture of health -- description of your

:07:42. > :07:45.life. The transplant is carried out for different reasons because of the

:07:46. > :07:49.state people are in. How common is it because people will be watching

:07:50. > :07:58.thinking, gosh, something like that could absolutely transform my life?

:07:59. > :08:05.Yes. As I said earlier, we treated Sue's case as an exceptional case.

:08:06. > :08:11.We spoke to all the different centres throughout the country and

:08:12. > :08:17.we had mixed responses. My colleague who had first seen her in fact wrote

:08:18. > :08:20.to an American centre to take their opinion and they had also not

:08:21. > :08:28.encountered anything like that before. So it was a difficult

:08:29. > :08:32.decision, but on individual merit, it did qualify for her

:08:33. > :08:37.transplantation and clearly, as we can see, it's transformed her life.

:08:38. > :08:42.I personally was very closely monitoring her after the operation

:08:43. > :08:48.and three, four months down the line, I was thrilled to know that

:08:49. > :08:55.her phobia of needles is slowly going away. It was amazing. Is that

:08:56. > :08:59.right? Yes, it's not at a point where it's completely reduced and I

:09:00. > :09:04.think I will need to go back to CBT to address it completely, but I am,

:09:05. > :09:10.for the first time ever, actually managing to finger prick. I do shake

:09:11. > :09:15.a bit but I am managing to do it because it's a requirement that I do

:09:16. > :09:21.it, only once a week. One of my arguments was that I needed distance

:09:22. > :09:24.from the routine, I needed to have that mental and physical break in

:09:25. > :09:28.order to be able to address the problem, to address the issue and I

:09:29. > :09:33.think what I've seen in myself so far is that there is an aleaviation

:09:34. > :09:37.of the stress, it's not gone completely as I think you guys will

:09:38. > :09:42.know, so I think at the end of the day, it's going to take time. But I

:09:43. > :09:46.actually feel, I'm in a position now to tackle it, whereas before, trying

:09:47. > :09:50.to tackle it while I was still immersed in it was an impossibility.

:09:51. > :09:57.Great to see you in such good health. Thank you all, Sue, Rob and

:09:58. > :10:02.Rahman. Still to come, serial killer Levi

:10:03. > :10:06.Bellfield as admitted for the first time Kimming Milly Dowler 14 years

:10:07. > :10:08.after he did it. We'll speak to the policeman who put him in prison

:10:09. > :10:13.later this hour. This morning we've been telling

:10:14. > :10:16.you about plans to allow child refugees from Syria and other

:10:17. > :10:19.conflict zones to live in the UK. The government says it will take

:10:20. > :10:22.in unaccompanied children under the age of 18 - but it hasn't said

:10:23. > :10:25.how many and those already in Europe ?10 million will be given instead

:10:26. > :10:30.to help vulnerable minors The UK has accepted 1,000 refugees

:10:31. > :10:38.from Syria so far under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement

:10:39. > :10:42.Programme set up last summer - and has committed to taking

:10:43. > :10:50.in a total of 20,000 by 2020. Sources have told the BBC that the

:10:51. > :10:54.numbers involved will not significantly increase the UK's

:10:55. > :10:58.current commitment to take in 20,000 refugees by 2020.

:10:59. > :11:03.Meanwhile, in Sweden, the authorities say they're likely to

:11:04. > :11:09.reject the asylum claims of 80,000 migrants. Around 163,000 applied for

:11:10. > :11:13.asylum in Sweden in 2015 which was the highest per Capita number in

:11:14. > :11:17.Europe. Of the approximately 58,000 cases

:11:18. > :11:21.processed last year, 55% were accepted. The MP Yvette Cooper is

:11:22. > :11:24.heading up Labour's refugee Task Force, she told us the Government

:11:25. > :11:28.needs to do more to help children who have already fled to Europe and

:11:29. > :11:32.she's called for tighter borders to stem the flow of others making the

:11:33. > :11:37.journey. I think we need stronger borders in order to manage the flow

:11:38. > :11:42.of people right across Europe so I think that the Schengen arrangement

:11:43. > :11:45.across Europe needs to end and they need proper border checks across

:11:46. > :11:49.Europe. We also need stronger action against smuggling gangs. You need to

:11:50. > :11:53.do what you can to prevent people travelling in the first place but we

:11:54. > :11:55.cannot turn our backs on children already in Europe desperate families

:11:56. > :12:01.who've already come to Europe, because they are fleeing from

:12:02. > :12:06.persecution in Syria or Afghanistan. In Italy they said last year 4,000

:12:07. > :12:10.of the children just disappeared and most likely that means into the arms

:12:11. > :12:15.of exploitive smuggling and trafficking gangs.

:12:16. > :12:19.Let's go live to Westminster and talk to our Political Correspondent,

:12:20. > :12:23.Ross Hawkins. What reaction to all of this? What appears to have

:12:24. > :12:28.happened here is Save the Children, the charity, has run an incredibly

:12:29. > :12:31.effective campaign in calling specifically for 3,000 unaccompanied

:12:32. > :12:36.children to be let into Britain. Because there was that specific

:12:37. > :12:39.figure on it, that allowed Labour, the Liberal Democrats, campaigners

:12:40. > :12:42.to get behind that demand. The Government in the end's had to

:12:43. > :12:46.respond. It's responded by saying no, but it's responded by saying

:12:47. > :12:50.look, we think the help is best delivered nearer to those refugee

:12:51. > :12:58.camps, so you don't encourage people to make a dangerous journey.

:12:59. > :13:09.They are talking about sending civil servants over, that could mean more

:13:10. > :13:13.people coming to Britain from within the EU and it could mean hundreds.

:13:14. > :13:18.The other thing you might be struck by is the rhetoric. Yesterday we had

:13:19. > :13:21.David Cameron talking about a bunch of migrants at Prime Minister's

:13:22. > :13:25.Questions, distinguishing his policy for Jeremy Corbyn. Look at the press

:13:26. > :13:29.release they sent to journalists from the Home Office. UK to offer

:13:30. > :13:33.sanctuary to unaccompanied refugee children. Is this Government trying

:13:34. > :13:37.to sound tough or is it trying to sound like it's reaching out? In

:13:38. > :13:42.reality, it's a combination of both. Ministers understand on the one hand

:13:43. > :13:46.the emotional impact of seeing those unaccompanied children Yvette Cooper

:13:47. > :13:49.was talking to us about earlier, 11-12-year-olds on their own in a

:13:50. > :13:53.camp in Calais to whom the British Government is saying no, you can't

:13:54. > :13:59.come in. But also Tim pact of the strain on services and the

:14:00. > :14:02.perception that they keep on demanding Britain to do more and

:14:03. > :14:06.take more and that Britain keeps on saying yes and has already

:14:07. > :14:11.contributed 20,000. You can clearly see the Government trying to chart

:14:12. > :14:15.away between the two demands while keeping a distinction between its

:14:16. > :14:30.policy and Jeremy Corbyn's as distinct as it possibly consider.

:14:31. > :14:33.We can speak to our guest for the UNHCH in Damascus. Tell us what the

:14:34. > :14:37.situation is in terms of getting aid through to people to try to ensure

:14:38. > :14:43.they are protected as well as they can be in their home country? Well,

:14:44. > :14:47.the numbers are enormous in terms of people in need of humanitarian

:14:48. > :14:54.access. We have 13.5 million people all over the country, not to mention

:14:55. > :14:58.4.5 million in hard-to-reach places and in besieged areas, there are

:14:59. > :15:04.about 400,000. We also have to mention that there are about 6.5

:15:05. > :15:09.million displaced, meaning they have left their homes because they are

:15:10. > :15:14.destroyed and they are living in temporary urban shelters with slight

:15:15. > :15:21.or no income, in need of humanitarian assistance. Is that

:15:22. > :15:26.assistance getting through? Usually to our normal places where

:15:27. > :15:30.we deliver, it's easy to get access, but in areas where access is

:15:31. > :15:37.difficult or it's hard-to-reach, we are only able to reach 10-15% of

:15:38. > :15:46.that population. We really hope that we can push more for open access to

:15:47. > :15:52.those areas so we can have regular and steady delivery.

:15:53. > :15:57.The UK is talking about working with the UNHCR to really find young

:15:58. > :16:00.people who're in particular need to be able to get out of Syria and

:16:01. > :16:06.neighbouring countries to come to the UK. Is it easy to identify

:16:07. > :16:07.children and others who have an exceptional need to get out and get

:16:08. > :16:20.them out? Well, the Syrian crisis, 50% of the

:16:21. > :16:28.children are under the age of six, and a lot of them have lost parents,

:16:29. > :16:31.or both parents, in this crisis. Definitely, there are serious

:16:32. > :16:39.concerns for their protection. Thank you very much for joining us. And

:16:40. > :16:43.thank you for joining us today. Still to come, Levi Bellfield has

:16:44. > :16:46.for the first time admitted raping and murdering 13-year-old Milly

:16:47. > :16:51.Dowler. We will speak to the policeman who put him in prison. US

:16:52. > :16:58.scientists have urged the World Health Organisation to take urgent

:16:59. > :17:02.action over the Zika virus which has caused panic in Brazil. We will

:17:03. > :17:08.speak to our colleague from the BBC Brazilian service. The government

:17:09. > :17:12.has confirmed that will allow unaccompanied child refugees from

:17:13. > :17:15.Syria to come to Britain in exceptional circumstances but it has

:17:16. > :17:19.not said how many will be accepted and it will not take in those who

:17:20. > :17:23.have already fled to Europe. It is right to help those who are close to

:17:24. > :17:27.Syria. It is the children who are alone in Europe now who we should be

:17:28. > :17:33.really worried about because they are so vulnerable to Angus. I have

:17:34. > :17:37.met 11 or 12-year-olds, a similar age to my children, alone with

:17:38. > :17:42.nobody to look after them in the camps at Calais. They really need

:17:43. > :17:46.someone to look after them and care for them otherwise they are so much

:17:47. > :17:49.at risk. The Swedish government says up to 80,000 people who sought

:17:50. > :18:07.asylum in the country might have their claims rejected.

:18:08. > :18:10.The UK economy grew by 0.5 percent during the fourth quarter of 2015

:18:11. > :18:13.and by 2.2 percent over the year according to the Office

:18:14. > :18:21.These GDP numbers show that the British economy continues to grow

:18:22. > :18:25.steadily and despite turbulence in the world economy, Britain is

:18:26. > :18:26.pushing ahead, but with what is going on around the world, there may

:18:27. > :18:33.be bumpy times ahead. The SNP have called

:18:34. > :18:36.for an investigation into the tax The European Competition

:18:37. > :18:39.Commissioner says she would be willing to investigate

:18:40. > :18:41.Google's tax arrangements. A British woman has become

:18:42. > :18:43.the first person in the world to have a pancreas transplant

:18:44. > :18:46.because of a severe needle phobia. Sue York, who has had type-1

:18:47. > :18:49.diabetes since she was seven, would shake uncontrollably and vomit

:18:50. > :19:01.when injecting herself with insulin. I would begin to feel extremely

:19:02. > :19:06.sick. Sometimes I would vomit. It got to a point where I was beginning

:19:07. > :19:10.to seriously struggle to maintain two injections a day. I did because

:19:11. > :19:12.you know that your life relies on it. You have no option. But it was

:19:13. > :19:17.becoming horrendous. The UK's second biggest energy

:19:18. > :19:20.supplier SSE is to cut its standard domestic

:19:21. > :19:22.gas tariff by 5.3%. The company says the move will take

:21:33. > :21:38.The virus is very unknown. A lot of people are still not sure if it

:21:39. > :21:46.causes this. How many babies are being born with this? There was an

:21:47. > :21:56.average of 150, and all of a sudden it has shot up. 4000 suspected cases

:21:57. > :22:00.in a little over six months. Although it has improved... The

:22:01. > :22:06.something wrong there. For those in cases but they cannot link them? So

:22:07. > :22:12.far only six cases that could be influenced by the virus, but even

:22:13. > :22:17.though 100% cannot be proven, size does not know. The World Health

:22:18. > :22:22.Organisation suspects that there is a causal relationship but no one can

:22:23. > :22:27.confirm. But the number of cases in Brazil is suspect because the virus

:22:28. > :22:33.has been increasing. And it is such a rare occurrence. For the health

:22:34. > :22:37.service to be dealing with that number must be putting quite a

:22:38. > :22:46.strain on reason versus in itself. Brazil has an endemic of dengue

:22:47. > :22:52.virus, and Zika is sometimes the same. Only one in four will develop

:22:53. > :22:57.the symptoms. For years, people might be misdiagnosed as sufferers

:22:58. > :23:02.of deadly fever when actually they had Zika. This correlation with

:23:03. > :23:06.birth defects like microcephaly has only been noticed recently. It is a

:23:07. > :23:10.very weird because there are suspicions that it can be

:23:11. > :23:13.transmitted sexually. So far, there is a huge question mark around the

:23:14. > :23:18.world. Experts are thinking that this could become endemic in Latin

:23:19. > :23:24.America and it could reach America, the USA and the southern states. It

:23:25. > :23:28.is really a race against time. The vaccine is only years away. The most

:23:29. > :23:33.optimistic estimate is three years' time. It is very tough. And you can

:23:34. > :23:38.imagine the nervousness of anyone falling pregnant at the moment. Four

:23:39. > :23:47.countries in Latin America have issued pregnancy alerts. I think

:23:48. > :23:51.Brazil was the most Draconian. Police said, avoid travelling to

:23:52. > :23:56.these areas. The official advice is docked to your doctor, do the exams

:23:57. > :23:59.and protect yourself from the mosquitoes. Effort to eradicate

:24:00. > :24:06.mosquitoes are the priority. I don't think any state will be trying to

:24:07. > :24:09.stop people getting pregnant. There are legal issues and economic

:24:10. > :24:12.issues. Is there evidence that pregnancy numbers are dropping?

:24:13. > :24:16.People are talking about that, people with more money in Brazil are

:24:17. > :24:22.talking about freezing eggs. People are looking at IVF, but this is a

:24:23. > :24:26.solution for people with money. If you do not have money, you will have

:24:27. > :24:31.to rely on more tests. Even that will strain the country, which is

:24:32. > :24:34.under severe recession. Thank you, Fernando. Interesting. Still to

:24:35. > :24:38.come, three dead whales that washed up on a beach in ligature had been

:24:39. > :24:44.taken to a landfill site, but how did they move the 30 tonne animals?

:24:45. > :24:46.We will find out more. -- a beach in Lancashire.

:24:47. > :24:49.Police forces say they're reviewing a number of other cases

:24:50. > :24:51.after the serial killer, Levi Bellfield, admitted murdering

:24:52. > :24:54.the Surrey schoolgirl Milly Dowler 14 years ago.

:24:55. > :24:56.The Metropolitan Police says it is liaising with forces

:24:57. > :25:00.across the UK after receiving new information.

:25:01. > :25:04.Bellfield was given a whole-life prison sentence in June 2011

:25:05. > :25:10.He confessed to the murder for the first time

:25:11. > :25:12.during an investigation into whether he had an accomplice.

:25:13. > :25:14.Colin Sutton - who led the Met Police team that

:25:15. > :25:24.Thank you very much for joining us. Are you surprised that he has now

:25:25. > :25:29.said this? Yes. Completely shocked. Levi Bellfield is not the sort of

:25:30. > :25:34.person who admits anything. Not the Levi Bellfield that I knew. It came

:25:35. > :25:38.out of the blue. He has been questioned extensively about it,

:25:39. > :25:44.hasn't he? Yes. And up until now he has always said no comments, and

:25:45. > :25:50.veteran Huntley denied that he has committed these offences. You will

:25:51. > :25:54.remember the Milly Dowler trial, his parents were -- the parents were put

:25:55. > :25:59.through a staggering ordeal in the witness box when he tried to

:26:00. > :26:02.besmirch their name. And it was all for nothing. They were put through

:26:03. > :26:07.that for nothing and he is now saying that it was him. It is a

:26:08. > :26:13.surprise. What do you think is going on? What is your suspicion? My first

:26:14. > :26:15.suspicion will be that he is trying to manipulate the system, doing

:26:16. > :26:19.something to orchestrate better conditions for him at some point in

:26:20. > :26:24.the future, or if the law should change and he could apply for

:26:25. > :26:29.parole. But perhaps he has seen the light and he really wants to clear

:26:30. > :26:34.the slate? If that is the case, we need to look forward to a lot more

:26:35. > :26:37.confessions because not only were the other two murders, and the

:26:38. > :26:42.attempt to murder he was convicted for, but there are scores of other

:26:43. > :26:46.offences that I know he was involved in that he will need to be

:26:47. > :26:50.confessing to if he really wants to wipe clean the slate. Talk us

:26:51. > :26:53.through the investigation. He was given a whole life prison sentence

:26:54. > :26:59.in June of 2011 for murdering Milly Dowler. And that was the fourth

:27:00. > :27:03.sentence he had received. He had received three whole life tariffs

:27:04. > :27:14.for the London offences at the time in 1980 and 1982. He is as bad as

:27:15. > :27:19.anyone I ever came across. He is locked up with the key thrown away,

:27:20. > :27:25.so to speak. And that is how it should stay because he is so

:27:26. > :27:29.dangerous. Notwithstanding any kind of change of heart, obviously that

:27:30. > :27:34.is good. But he has not shown any remorse and that does not help the

:27:35. > :27:37.parents of these young girls. People talk about closure, there is no

:27:38. > :27:41.closure when you have lost someone you love under those circumstances.

:27:42. > :27:48.It is with you forever. How difficult was it to catch? -- to

:27:49. > :27:52.catch him. It was very difficult because we started with the murderer

:27:53. > :27:56.branch in 2004 and all we had was the fact that the girl had been

:27:57. > :28:02.killed. I had a fantastic team and a lot of support from the police then,

:28:03. > :28:08.and we identified Levi Bellfield as a suspect about two months after

:28:09. > :28:13.that. How did you do that? It was through CCTV. We saw the vehicle and

:28:14. > :28:17.it was one of 25,000 vehicles. We tried to eliminate the vehicles with

:28:18. > :28:19.help from the public. It was old-fashioned detective work.

:28:20. > :28:26.help from the public. It was was no DNA evidence, there was no

:28:27. > :28:30.easy route. It was piecing together circumstantial case work, that

:28:31. > :28:35.eventually convinced the jury. Talk us through the timeline, the

:28:36. > :28:44.murderers and the time frame. Millie was the first in March of 2002. --

:28:45. > :28:48.Milly. Surrey Police were investigating that. There were other

:28:49. > :28:55.incidents but it was not put together until August of 2004, when

:28:56. > :29:05.Annalee Dellacqua was murdered. That was when my team realised that there

:29:06. > :29:13.was a link to other offences. We had a big investigation running, and it

:29:14. > :29:17.ran until 2004. We were investigating him for four years,

:29:18. > :29:21.just for the London offences. But during that, when we identified him,

:29:22. > :29:28.we realised that he lived so close to where Milly Dowler was abducted.

:29:29. > :29:31.That is when we went to Surrey Police and told them that they had

:29:32. > :29:35.to look at this guy because he was clearly a menace and a danger to

:29:36. > :29:40.women and young girls. And he was right on the spot when Milly went

:29:41. > :29:43.missing. That was how the investigation into Milly's death

:29:44. > :29:48.became focused on him. That was November or December of 2004. Andy

:29:49. > :29:52.two investigations went in parallel. There was a team in Surrey looking

:29:53. > :29:56.at Milly Dowler, and my team in London looking at the other two

:29:57. > :30:02.cases. But we work together and eventually he was convicted of all

:30:03. > :30:06.the offences. But Surrey Police had to work hard, they were some way

:30:07. > :30:10.behind us and they had to spend a lot of time after he was convicted

:30:11. > :30:19.of our offences before they were able to convicted. And how many

:30:20. > :30:23.other offences do you believe he has been involved in? There was an

:30:24. > :30:28.indictment of nine cases of rape and assault that were left on file. That

:30:29. > :30:31.gives you an idea of how bad he is. It was thought it was not worth

:30:32. > :30:36.addressing those because of what he had done and had been convicted of.

:30:37. > :30:39.It was a series of half a dozen drug induced rates of young girls that we

:30:40. > :30:44.believe he committed with his friends, that essentially we were

:30:45. > :30:52.told that it was obligated enough and we did not need to go into that.

:30:53. > :30:55.And there are scores of other serious assaults and sexual assaults

:30:56. > :31:00.over a period of time that we believe he was involved in. The

:31:01. > :31:04.whole thing was quite shocking, but once he was convicted of the first

:31:05. > :31:11.two murders and attentive murder, and sentenced to a whole life tariff

:31:12. > :31:14.three times, the decision was, well, we explained this to the victims but

:31:15. > :31:17.there is no point in putting resources and money into these

:31:18. > :31:21.crimes because we cannot put him into prison for any longer. I think

:31:22. > :31:25.that was probably a sensible decision but what he has been

:31:26. > :31:32.sentenced for does not represent the scale of his criminality in any way.

:31:33. > :31:36.And he has now admitted abducting, raping and killing Milly Dowler, so

:31:37. > :31:38.there will obviously be more coming from that but thank you very much

:31:39. > :31:43.for talking to us. The European Competition

:31:44. > :31:46.Commissioner says she is willing to investigate Google's tax

:31:47. > :31:56.should someone complain. Her comments come as the SNP's

:31:57. > :32:04.economy spokesman, Stewart Hosie, writes a letter calling

:32:05. > :32:15.for such a probe. I think we should be in a union

:32:16. > :32:18.where everyone has a chance of making it. If you are a small

:32:19. > :32:33.innovative company, the big e one shouldn't do it. Do you

:32:34. > :32:37.believe they are in a sweetheart deal? I don't know the details of

:32:38. > :32:41.the deal. If you were asked to investigate it, would you? Well, if

:32:42. > :32:44.we find there is something to be concerned about, if someone writes

:32:45. > :32:57.to us and says this is maybe not as it should be, we'll take a look.

:32:58. > :33:00.Her comments come as the SNP's economy spokesman, Stewart Hosie,

:33:01. > :33:04.writes a letter calling for such a probe.

:33:05. > :33:09.When the settlement was announced, the trezcy said this was a great

:33:10. > :33:13.deal, Ten Downing Street said something rather different. The

:33:14. > :33:17.public are left with an impression, it may only be an impression,

:33:18. > :33:20.nevertheless the public have the impression that certain large

:33:21. > :33:23.companies can effectively negotiate what it is they may or may not

:33:24. > :33:27.choose to pay while the average man, woman or business in the street is

:33:28. > :33:32.given a tax demand and heaven help them if they don't pay on time.

:33:33. > :33:35.Let's have the European Competition Commissioner look at this,

:33:36. > :33:40.respecting taxpayer confidentiality and confirm that the tax paid was in

:33:41. > :33:50.fact the tax due or whatever else she may come across.

:33:51. > :33:54.We can talk to Michael Devereaux about this. What is the scope of

:33:55. > :34:00.what the European Commission could do? The European Commission has wide

:34:01. > :34:06.powers in competition matters, so if it were the case that the European

:34:07. > :34:10.Commission thought that the UK Government has given specific

:34:11. > :34:13.favourable treatment to any individual company, then certainly

:34:14. > :34:17.the European Commission has powers to investigate that and instruct the

:34:18. > :34:22.UK Government to desist from doing that, if necessary, in this case, to

:34:23. > :34:28.impose more tax. So the commission does have wide powers in this

:34:29. > :34:32.instance. Has it ever done that? Recently in the last year or two,

:34:33. > :34:35.the commission has begun to investigate tax deals in a number of

:34:36. > :34:38.countries, Luxembourg and Ireland in particular. They have been rather

:34:39. > :34:42.different from the case of Google that those have been mainly the

:34:43. > :34:47.cases where there have been specific rulings instigated by the tax

:34:48. > :34:52.authorities in those countries for specific companies. They are rather

:34:53. > :34:56.different from this case where there's just been essentially the

:34:57. > :35:02.conclusion of an audit within the HMRC for Google.

:35:03. > :35:06.And on that, Google says Governments make tax law, the tax authorities

:35:07. > :35:10.independently enforce the law and Google complies with the law? Well,

:35:11. > :35:17.I think we have no reason to question that in a way. It's

:35:18. > :35:22.certainly the case HMRC has to comply with the existing law that we

:35:23. > :35:26.have in the existing international tax law and it's the case that

:35:27. > :35:30.Government ministers are not allowed to interfere in that process. So I

:35:31. > :35:35.don't think I've seen anything which says HMRC's not done its job

:35:36. > :35:38.properly. I think it's certainly the case that international existing tax

:35:39. > :35:42.law is so complicated that it's very difficult to know exactly how much

:35:43. > :35:47.Google should have paid or indeed any other large company should have

:35:48. > :35:51.paid. There's some degree of uncertainty and there's certainly

:35:52. > :35:55.different interpretations of the tax law that could be given but it's

:35:56. > :36:00.HMRC's job to interpret that in a way that it thinks is appropriate

:36:01. > :36:03.and to impose that on the company. The European Commission said it

:36:04. > :36:09.would investigate if there were a complaint, is it always open, is it

:36:10. > :36:12.as simple as that, just if an individual makes a complaint? This

:36:13. > :36:18.would be rather unusual. I think the cases in which the European

:36:19. > :36:23.Commission's taken on up until now have been rather large cases I have

:36:24. > :36:27.have taken rather a large time to start up and conclude. I don't know

:36:28. > :36:30.any other cases where a single politician's just made a complaint

:36:31. > :36:34.and the European Commission's investigated it like that. I think

:36:35. > :36:40.that would be quite unusual. Thank you very much.

:36:41. > :36:43.Three dead sperm whales which washed up on the Lincolnshire coast have

:36:44. > :36:46.been removed in a delicate five-hour operation.

:36:47. > :36:50.A team of 14 workers moved the bodies -

:36:54. > :36:57.Our Correspondent Lisa Hampele is here.

:36:58. > :37:01.It was probably a pretty gruesome task actually for them to do. Talk

:37:02. > :37:06.us through how they did it? task actually for them to do. Talk

:37:07. > :37:10.sad end for the majestic animals that were washed up. We've had five

:37:11. > :37:14.of them washed up, as you will remember, over the weekend, and they

:37:15. > :37:20.are thought to be from a larger pod. We had 12 that were washed up in the

:37:21. > :37:26.Netherlands and Germany earlier in the month and then these over the

:37:27. > :37:30.weekend that caused such distress. Overnight, contractors from a local

:37:31. > :37:34.council did their best to move them gently and slowly. They asked the

:37:35. > :37:39.public to stay away because they thought it would be upsetting. Also,

:37:40. > :37:44.there are fears that it is actually a public health problem and in fact,

:37:45. > :37:49.when there was a postmortem of one of the whales earlier, it exploded

:37:50. > :37:56.because that's what happens when a lot of gas is built up in the

:37:57. > :38:02.whales. Last night, bulldozers came in and lifted them very gently on to

:38:03. > :38:07.low-loaders, having wrapped them in two layers of tarpaulin. They were

:38:08. > :38:13.very slowly taken away. It was thought it was going to take eight

:38:14. > :38:16.hours but they they started at 8 o'clock last night and it took

:38:17. > :38:21.five-and-a-half hours. They were pleased with how it went. They took

:38:22. > :38:28.the three whales away on the low-loaders. Then they are going to

:38:29. > :38:32.be taken to a land fill site. It was done under darkness, one of the

:38:33. > :38:37.contractors saying they took the most respect they possibly could. It

:38:38. > :38:41.was a very gentle procedure and they were very careful not to upset

:38:42. > :38:45.anybody and treat them properly. What is the latest on what actually

:38:46. > :38:52.happened with the whales and why they ended up being washed up? I've

:38:53. > :38:58.talked to experts and it's thought that they were probably young

:38:59. > :39:01.adolescent males who - normally in the Atlantic - they strayed into the

:39:02. > :39:05.North Sea probably looking for mates. Then they start looking for

:39:06. > :39:11.food and they may have found squid and they'll be chasing the food and

:39:12. > :39:14.get out into the wrong place, into the North Sea, then chase the food,

:39:15. > :39:19.find there is no food and get lost. As they come down the East Coast,

:39:20. > :39:25.it's very shallow waters and sand dunes and getting into trouble and

:39:26. > :39:29.getting disorientated and can't use their sonar when there's very

:39:30. > :39:36.shallow waters, then they get stuck. How unusual to have whales off the

:39:37. > :39:41.British coast? Well, we do get beachings, a few each year really,

:39:42. > :39:45.but this is very unusual to have so many and experts are trying to work

:39:46. > :39:51.out why that is. They don't yet know. They are looking at the

:39:52. > :39:55.contents of the whales' stomachs. They look as though they hadn't got

:39:56. > :40:00.any food in their stomach, so that is ongoing and we await to see what

:40:01. > :40:05.the findings will be but it may be we just don't discover what made it

:40:06. > :40:09.happen. As we were saying, it's been quite an operation to finally clear

:40:10. > :40:13.them off the beach and they now go to land fill? That is right. They

:40:14. > :40:16.decided that is the best way forward and they need to put them into a

:40:17. > :40:19.land fill site. These three have been taken to a land fill site in

:40:20. > :40:25.Sheffield. Thank you very much. Some breaking
