:00:09. > :00:10.Hello, it's Wednesday, it's 9.15, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

:00:11. > :00:29.Junior doctors in England begin a second walk-out. It has led to 3000

:00:30. > :00:35.operations being cancelled. Despite reassurances by the BMA they would

:00:36. > :00:40.negotiate. Over 3000 operations have been cancelled, which will affect

:00:41. > :00:46.all non-emergency services. By edge the BMA to put patients first. We

:00:47. > :00:49.have presented to the government worked up solution that allows

:00:50. > :00:53.junior doctors to be retained in this country in the long time. The

:00:54. > :01:00.government has rejected this and plays politics with this contract

:01:01. > :01:05.dispute which was obvious when we had a solution and could have

:01:06. > :01:06.avoided this. We talk to one man whose dad has had operation

:01:07. > :01:09.cancelled. Donald Trump scores a major victory

:01:10. > :01:12.in his bid to become the next US President,

:01:13. > :01:14.after winning the backing of Republicans in New Hampshire -

:01:15. > :01:25.outsider Bernie Sanders easily What began last week in Iowa, with

:01:26. > :01:30.voters here in New Hampshire confirming tonight, is nothing short

:01:31. > :01:38.of the beginning of a political revolution. We are going to start

:01:39. > :01:44.winning again. We are going to win so much, you are going to be so

:01:45. > :01:49.happy. We are going to make America so great again, maybe than ever

:01:50. > :01:51.before. We will bring your reaction this morning.

:01:52. > :01:54.Plus, two tennis umpires are banned and four more are being investigated

:01:55. > :01:57.over allegations of fixing - we ask if enough is being done

:01:58. > :02:10.We're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11 this morning.

:02:11. > :02:13.Throughout the programme we'll bring you the latest breaking

:02:14. > :02:17.A little later we'll take a look at plans to changes to cut

:02:18. > :02:25.Motorists could be limited to less than a glass of wine or point

:02:26. > :02:28.Motorists could be limited to less than a glass of wine or pint

:02:29. > :02:31.of beer before they get behind wheel.

:02:32. > :02:34.As ever we're keen to hear from you throughout the programme.

:02:35. > :02:36.Texts will be charged at the standard network rate.

:02:37. > :02:38.And you can watch the programme online wherever you are -

:02:39. > :02:42.via the bbc news app or our website bbc.co.uk/victoria.

:02:43. > :02:44.Thousands of NHS patients in England will have their operations

:02:45. > :02:46.or hospital appointments cancelled today because of a strike

:02:47. > :02:54.The industrial action - which is over pay and working hours

:02:55. > :02:57.- began at eight o'clock this morning and will last 24 hours.

:02:58. > :03:00.NHS England says all hospitals have plans in place to deal

:03:01. > :03:04.with the disruption, and emergency care will still be provided.

:03:05. > :03:07.Ministers say nearly 3,000 operations have been postponed

:03:08. > :03:18.In a moment we will be live on a picket line in Scunthorpe.

:03:19. > :03:21.Jim Reed has been looking at why the doctors are striking.

:03:22. > :03:31.The priority at the moment is the thousands of people

:03:32. > :03:35.that we think die unnecessarily because we don't have proper cover

:03:36. > :03:38.for urgent and emergency care on weekends.

:03:39. > :03:46.They are trying to cut our pay when we are already,

:03:47. > :03:47.you know, overworked, underpaid, demoralised,

:03:48. > :04:00.and this is why people are going forward.

:04:01. > :04:02.and this is why people are going abroad.

:04:03. > :04:04.There are 55,000 junior doctors in England.

:04:05. > :04:07.These are not just students leaving medical school,

:04:08. > :04:09.but anyone below consultant or full GP level.

:04:10. > :04:11.That can mean someone with years of experience in charge

:04:12. > :04:15.They are the person that you will see clerking

:04:16. > :04:18.you in when you go into A, they are the person you might see

:04:19. > :04:22.Often they'll be the person that comes round on the ward

:04:23. > :04:26.They are often also the people that will be doing surgery in theatre,

:04:27. > :04:31.they'll be assisting the consultant when they do operations.

:04:32. > :04:36.The starting salary is just under 23,000, but add in over time

:04:37. > :04:41.and unsocial hours, and average pay in the first two years is 36,000.

:04:42. > :04:45.Those in higher training can earn 53,000, rising to 70,000

:04:46. > :04:51.How does that compare with other jobs?

:04:52. > :04:54.Well, it's hard to measure and depends on where you live.

:04:55. > :04:58.But take average pay for a junior doctor in those first two years.

:04:59. > :05:01.It is more than a teacher or a police officer,

:05:02. > :05:04.but about the same as the starting salary for a banker and less

:05:05. > :05:09.One big part of this is hours worked.

:05:10. > :05:12.The Government wants to raise basic wages but change the way it pays

:05:13. > :05:21.At the moment, regular hours are set at seven to seven Monday to Friday,

:05:22. > :05:27.The Government wants to extend those core hours to 10pm in the week

:05:28. > :05:32.and into Saturday for the first time.

:05:33. > :05:35.This contract doesn't seem to value the hard work of junior doctors,

:05:36. > :05:39.and the trouble with that is that the doctors that are working

:05:40. > :05:42.some of the most difficult hours, the ones that are working some

:05:43. > :05:45.of the hardest rotas, working through the night,

:05:46. > :05:48.through the weekend et cetera, these are the people that really

:05:49. > :05:52.They the people that this affects most.

:05:53. > :05:55.In the last election, the Conservatives promised to bring

:05:56. > :05:59.But illness doesn't respect working hours.

:06:00. > :06:02.Heart attacks, major accidents, babies, these things don't just come

:06:03. > :06:08.It has been known for years that it's more dangerous to get sick

:06:09. > :06:13.A recent study found the odds of dying in hospital are 10% higher

:06:14. > :06:19.But doctors say these changes will strip back the safeguards meant

:06:20. > :06:23.to stop them working excessive hours and make life less

:06:24. > :06:29.Junior doctors in England only are on strike until 8am Thursday

:06:30. > :06:32.morning, but this will not affect emergency roles,

:06:33. > :06:39.so A and maternity should run as usual.

:06:40. > :06:48.Let's now talk to one of the BMA's negotiators -

:06:49. > :06:57.So we can now go live to Dominic Hughes. We live in Scunthorpe where

:06:58. > :07:04.the junior doctors, some of them have joined a picket line. Here in

:07:05. > :07:10.Scunthorpe they have had to cancel a handful of operations, but 3000 200

:07:11. > :07:19.operations have had to be cancelled across England. Let's talk to one of

:07:20. > :07:26.the doctors. You are a newly qualified doctors? I am, in the

:07:27. > :07:35.Castro Department. What is this dispute about? The basic thing, 98%

:07:36. > :07:42.of the junior doctors have said this new contract is not safe that the

:07:43. > :07:45.patients, it is not fair for the doctors and that is why we are

:07:46. > :07:50.striking. I don't want to go into too many details about the contract,

:07:51. > :07:58.but 98% of the people have said it isn't safe. This dispute has been

:07:59. > :08:01.going on since before you qualified, but it comes down to this issue

:08:02. > :08:06.about how much you get paid for working on a Saturday? There are

:08:07. > :08:12.current few issues with the contract. The government is going to

:08:13. > :08:15.impose the contract, they are saying if you don't negotiate we will

:08:16. > :08:20.impose the contract on you, whether you like it or not, frankly it is

:08:21. > :08:27.dangerous. Do you accept the government's argument it is about

:08:28. > :08:31.improving the quality of care at weekends? Definitely, we all want to

:08:32. > :08:36.improve the NHS. The government want to do a seven-day NHS service. We

:08:37. > :08:42.all work seven days a week. They want to make collect the work seven

:08:43. > :08:50.days with five days funding. It will stretch the doctors even further and

:08:51. > :08:55.it is unsafe. Some of those planned operations are cancelled today, hip

:08:56. > :09:00.operations and me operations? Yes. At Scunthorpe, it is just a handful,

:09:01. > :09:06.but around the country it is significant? The only thing is, this

:09:07. > :09:12.is the smallest amount of action we can take. The NHS is the only

:09:13. > :09:19.employer in England of junior doctors like me. When they say they

:09:20. > :09:23.will impose a contract, we have two stand-up for what we think is fair

:09:24. > :09:28.for the patients. On the last strike date I was covering emergency care,

:09:29. > :09:36.so if you are sick, please still go to A The BMA say if this contract

:09:37. > :09:39.is imposed, junior doctors like yourself, you might look abroad, go

:09:40. > :09:45.into academia, is it something you are worried about when you think

:09:46. > :09:49.about your career ahead? Definitely, when the government announced the

:09:50. > :09:54.strikes, 1000 junior doctors apply for their papers to go and work

:09:55. > :09:59.abroad, so there is an impact on the training of doctors in England.

:10:00. > :10:06.Sorry to make you squint into the sunshine. But is the picture at

:10:07. > :10:13.Scunthorpe. Doctors across England, junior doctors will be joining

:10:14. > :10:15.picket lines like this one. Let's talk to one of the union negotiators

:10:16. > :10:25.who is also a junior doctor... David Mowat, Conservative MP

:10:26. > :10:41.and father of a junior doctor. The sticking point, is what you are

:10:42. > :10:46.paid on a Saturday, if you get premium rates of pay, why is it a

:10:47. > :10:52.sticking point for you? The important thing to say about this is

:10:53. > :10:58.this current offer actually affects people working the hardest rotor is

:10:59. > :11:04.the most, areas like A, children's doctors, already work 24 hours a

:11:05. > :11:08.day, seven days a week. These are the people this contract change

:11:09. > :11:12.undervalues the most. Why will they be undervalued the most? They are

:11:13. > :11:17.people working the most evenings and weekends. The problem is we already

:11:18. > :11:24.have a huge recruitment crisis in these areas. We have so few doctors,

:11:25. > :11:28.they stay long after their hours to cover the gaps in the rotor. The

:11:29. > :11:33.problem with this contract is not just an hour, but in the future. It

:11:34. > :11:38.stretches the service even thinner and it is not fair for those doctors

:11:39. > :11:45.and it is not safe for the patients who will be affected by that. David,

:11:46. > :11:49.do you accept the point that it is unfair on particular specialities on

:11:50. > :11:53.a Saturday? What the government is trying to do is have a seven-day

:11:54. > :12:01.NHS, it was in the manifesto and it is a reasonable objective. Whether

:12:02. > :12:06.the doctor is right in saying the service is extremely stretched at

:12:07. > :12:11.the moment, frankly we are understaffed as a country and we

:12:12. > :12:14.need more doctors. But everybody has to agree it isn't right, if there is

:12:15. > :12:21.different outcomes on Saturday and Sunday. The way the contract works

:12:22. > :12:25.at the moment, it descends into visors hospitals to actually roster

:12:26. > :12:30.people on those days because they have to pay them more. That is the

:12:31. > :12:34.thrust of what the government is trying to do. There is no detriment

:12:35. > :12:41.to the overall pay bill, it is cashing neutral. But some of the

:12:42. > :12:46.effects the BMA doctor talked about may happen, but it is also right the

:12:47. > :12:51.government tries to achieve what it is trying to achieve. This strike is

:12:52. > :12:56.bad for the doctors, bad for the government and it is bad for the

:12:57. > :13:01.patients. The first thing I want to say to respond to that is, this

:13:02. > :13:05.absolutely is going to impact the service. Actually, what we're

:13:06. > :13:08.looking at already, a survey that was produced this morning that was

:13:09. > :13:14.released to the media that shows over 80% of doctors are thinking of

:13:15. > :13:19.leaving the profession because of these changes. We need to find a

:13:20. > :13:23.better solution for the patients and doctors are committed to that. I

:13:24. > :13:28.have spent the last decade of my life training to be a doctor to

:13:29. > :13:31.provide better care. What this contract offers is not better, we

:13:32. > :13:35.have tried to find a better solution, we have offered the

:13:36. > :13:39.government pay package which is within the budget and allows us not

:13:40. > :13:43.to undervalue those people. To allow the delivery of this seven-day

:13:44. > :13:46.service by maintaining the service we want to provide for those areas

:13:47. > :13:51.already undervalued. But the government is more interested in

:13:52. > :13:58.winning this political argument and finding a real solution for people.

:13:59. > :14:03.I don't think all sections of the population the government wants to

:14:04. > :14:11.have an industrial dispute with its junior doctors. They are intrinsic

:14:12. > :14:15.to all we do. There is nothing in it for the government to have an

:14:16. > :14:20.argument with junior doctors, but we are trying to do the right thing for

:14:21. > :14:24.the patients. My understanding on the negotiations is a lot of

:14:25. > :14:28.progress was made, one point is outstanding. I know an offer was

:14:29. > :14:32.made recently, apparently not good enough, but we are very close. I

:14:33. > :14:38.think this strike is regrettable, it is bad for the government, it is bad

:14:39. > :14:44.but the doctors and it is bad for the patients. Before we bring in a

:14:45. > :14:50.former Acas negotiator, an e-mail from Charles says I don't understand

:14:51. > :14:58.this issue of paying doctors extra of a weekend. So many industries

:14:59. > :15:04.work shift systems and overtime is irrelevant these days? I understand

:15:05. > :15:08.where they are coming from, but it is important with the future of our

:15:09. > :15:15.health service, we need a way to recruit enough junior doctors to

:15:16. > :15:18.provide the service. You could accept the pay rise of 11% and treat

:15:19. > :15:24.Saturday as a normal working day? What they are doing with this change

:15:25. > :15:28.is offering a 40% pay cut to those doctors that work anti-social hours.

:15:29. > :15:35.They said they would protect your salary for the first three years?

:15:36. > :15:40.What of the future? What of the junior doctors coming into this

:15:41. > :15:48.profession he will be accepted. Are you not concerned that in three

:15:49. > :15:49.years, four years, there will be a massive shortage of junior doctors

:15:50. > :16:00.in England? I am concerned. We have a shortage

:16:01. > :16:04.of doctors in our country compared with France and Germany. The

:16:05. > :16:11.government is trying very hard to get more doctors trained and part of

:16:12. > :16:17.that will be retention. The government has to do the right thing

:16:18. > :16:22.by patients as well. The point that the e-mail made, is that many

:16:23. > :16:26.professions treat Saturdays and Sundays as any other day, such as

:16:27. > :16:31.airline pilots, that is an example. It is rostered in a way that it does

:16:32. > :16:34.not make a difference to their salaries and it is right to do the

:16:35. > :16:39.same for doctors but pay them more at the same time. To talk about

:16:40. > :16:45.people talking about a 40% paid the crease is misleading, I do not think

:16:46. > :16:50.that is right. This is cash neutral. You can come back on that in a

:16:51. > :16:57.second. Let me bring in Peter Harwood, a former negotiator at

:16:58. > :17:00.ACAS. You have heard the positions at this point. What would you do

:17:01. > :17:10.next, as a former negotiator for ACAS? Conciliator, not negotiator.

:17:11. > :17:16.The parties do the negotiating, we try and conciliate between them.

:17:17. > :17:21.Basically, the third party tries to change the mood. Obviously, people

:17:22. > :17:24.are in positions and they are quite determined to change their

:17:25. > :17:28.positions. What we try and get them to do, successfully in this case, a

:17:29. > :17:31.lot of issues have been resolved, is getting people to think through

:17:32. > :17:34.where they are, but more importantly, thinking through the

:17:35. > :17:40.implications of where they are going next. Strike action is always

:17:41. > :17:44.something which parties want to avoid. Imposing a contract is

:17:45. > :17:47.something parties want to avoid. They basically want to get an

:17:48. > :17:53.agreement and that is something we will try and do, go between the

:17:54. > :17:57.parties to try and facilitate that. How do you change the mood? The

:17:58. > :18:02.problem is one of funding. It is a matter of trying to get the parties

:18:03. > :18:06.to see the funding problem and how that can be resolved. Already, you

:18:07. > :18:10.have heard that the BMA have said they have got some proposals to try

:18:11. > :18:15.and meet the needs of the employers. The employers will have their

:18:16. > :18:19.position, they say it is cost neutral, and it is to try and unpick

:18:20. > :18:26.that and find a way through to get some common ground. Let me read a

:18:27. > :18:31.couple more messages. Sally on Twitter says junior doctors walking

:18:32. > :18:37.out, this is shameful, selfish and wrong. Mr K on Twitter says, it is

:18:38. > :18:42.not complicated. The same number of doctors spread over a longer period,

:18:43. > :18:46.it just does not add up. And Stewart says these junior doctors should be

:18:47. > :18:51.grateful of what they have come in, not many have the prospect of

:18:52. > :18:54.?70,000 wages in their lives. The first thing I want to say is I

:18:55. > :18:57.appreciate the comments that have been made. I understand that people

:18:58. > :19:03.have strong feelings about this issue. As you know, we have made an

:19:04. > :19:14.offer that is pay neutral, as we have said, to

:19:15. > :19:18.try and recruitment problems we have. The other thing that is

:19:19. > :19:21.important is, this does not come down to pay. Doctors have taken an

:19:22. > :19:23.under inflation pay cut and you have not seen them on picket lines until

:19:24. > :19:25.now. We are worried this contract is dangerous, dangerous for patients,

:19:26. > :19:29.dangerous for doctors and for the future of the service. We want to

:19:30. > :19:32.provide better care. We are standing outside our hospitals which is not

:19:33. > :19:37.where we are meant to be, we are meant to be inside, which is where

:19:38. > :19:41.we want to be. We have tried to negotiate, we have tried to make

:19:42. > :19:45.offers which are in the budget to try and address these problems, but

:19:46. > :19:48.they are just not interested in the solutions we have, because what they

:19:49. > :19:55.want is to win this political argument. Let me read a couple more

:19:56. > :20:00.messages. Leslie says you cannot compare junior doctors' pay with

:20:01. > :20:03.teachers which is something we did and our report. Taking

:20:04. > :20:08.responsibility for people's lives as a whole different ball game. Police

:20:09. > :20:11.officers have unsocial hours without the same academic provocations and

:20:12. > :20:16.length of training. Helen says the BMA will never concede we could

:20:17. > :20:23.working for regular pay. Jeremy Hunt should enforce the new contract and

:20:24. > :20:28.make the NHS 24/7. And John says why did the doctor 's own up, there is

:20:29. > :20:33.no amorality to this strike. It is all about money.

:20:34. > :20:34.That is the view from quite a lot of people watching this morning. Thank

:20:35. > :20:37.you for coming on. Still to come: We look at how

:20:38. > :20:41.Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders' win in the New Hampshire primaries

:20:42. > :20:43.could change the outcome Corruption in Tennis: Two umpires

:20:44. > :20:46.are banned and four are under investigation after a British

:20:47. > :20:50.newspaper uncovers the scandal. We'll explain what this means

:20:51. > :21:02.for the sport. First, it's the main

:21:03. > :21:04.news this morning. Junior doctors in England have begun

:21:05. > :21:06.a second 24-hour strike The walkout got underway at eight

:21:07. > :21:09.o'clock this morning. Nearly 3,000 operations have been

:21:10. > :21:11.cancelled Only emergency care

:21:12. > :21:25.will be carried out. The family of the murdered

:21:26. > :21:30.schoolgirl Milly Dowler have spoken of the pain they have been through

:21:31. > :21:35.since the killer Levi Belfield finally gave details of his crimes.

:21:36. > :21:40.The statement said, now we know the final hours of Millie's life,

:21:41. > :21:43.perhaps her soul can finally rest in peace. The 13-year-old was killed in

:21:44. > :21:46.2002 in Walton in Surrey. Donald Trump has scored a major

:21:47. > :21:48.victory in his bid to become the next US President after winning

:21:49. > :21:51.the backing of Republicans The Democrats' Presidential

:23:31. > :23:35.seem? No doubt they have got a reason to. I'm sure a lot of fans

:23:40. > :23:44.priced season ticket in the Premier League at Arsenal is over ?2000 for

:25:00. > :25:02.And for the Democrats the left-wing Bernie Sanders has easily beaten

:25:03. > :25:05.It's worth pointing out that if you thought the last

:25:06. > :25:07.general election in Britain dragged on for ages -

:25:08. > :25:12.At the moment they're trying to work out which candidate will stand

:25:13. > :25:16.for each party - before the actual Presidential election.

:25:17. > :25:19.Each American state gets to vote for who they think should be

:25:20. > :25:21.the party's official candidate in a process known

:25:22. > :25:27.It looks like Donald Trump - who's pledged to deport millions

:25:28. > :25:30.of migrants who are living in the US illegally,

:25:31. > :25:32.build a wall along the border with Mexico, and impose

:25:33. > :25:36.a temporary ban on all Muslims entering the country -

:25:37. > :25:39.will get more than twice the number of votes in New Hampshire

:25:40. > :25:42.than the second place Republican candidate.

:25:43. > :25:49.We are going to make our country so strong.

:25:50. > :25:51.We are going to start winning again.

:25:52. > :25:58.we don't win with the military, we can't beat Isis.

:25:59. > :26:06.And we are going to win so much, you are going to be so happy.

:26:07. > :26:10.We are going to make America so great again,

:26:11. > :26:15.I love you all, thank you, New Hampshire.

:26:16. > :26:24.we are going to win in South Carolina.

:26:25. > :26:34.For the Democrats it was a similar story.

:26:35. > :26:36.Senator Bernie Sanders - who is pledging to eradicate income

:26:37. > :26:42.inequality, provide free university education and break up big banks -

:26:43. > :26:45.beat his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by a huge margin.

:26:46. > :26:47.He said his victory showed people wanted "real change".

:26:48. > :26:56.and this is the promise we must keep alive for future generations.

:26:57. > :27:03.what voters here in New Hampshire confirmed tonight,

:27:04. > :27:08.is nothing short of the beginning of a political revolution.

:27:09. > :27:33.that will bring tens of millions of our people together.

:27:34. > :27:35.It will bring together working people

:27:36. > :27:38.who have given up on the political process.

:27:39. > :27:41.It will bring together young people

:27:42. > :27:45.who have never participated in the political process.

:27:46. > :27:48.His Democratic rival Hillary Clinton says she'll continue to fight

:27:49. > :27:55.I know I have some work to do, particularly with young people,

:27:56. > :27:58.but I will repeat again what I've said this week.

:27:59. > :28:05.Even if they are not supporting me now,

:28:06. > :28:08.I support them, because I know...

:28:09. > :28:18.but I also know what it's like to stumble and fall,

:28:19. > :28:22.and so many people across America know that feeling.

:28:23. > :28:25.And we've learned it's not whether you get knocked down that matters,

:28:26. > :28:35.This is all part of the long process as the political parties pick

:28:36. > :28:37.a candidate to stand in the actual election.

:28:38. > :28:40.It will be that nominee who will eventually run

:28:41. > :28:43.for president with Americans voting in November.

:28:44. > :28:46.It's a complex process which started in Iowa a few weeks ago -

:28:47. > :28:51.I accept your nomination for President of the United States.

:28:52. > :28:54.I accept your nomination for President of the United States!

:28:55. > :29:00.Winning the nomination is a landmark moment in the race

:29:01. > :29:05.for any presidential candidate, but hold on a minute.

:29:06. > :29:08.You only get the nomination by getting the support of delegates.

:29:09. > :29:14.important people who get to decide things at the convention.

:29:15. > :29:18.The number of delegates in each state is based largely on its size,

:29:19. > :29:21.so win the state and you win more delegates.

:29:22. > :29:23.The candidate who gets the majority of these delegates

:29:24. > :29:31.that vote early in the primary process.

:29:32. > :29:34.Political buffs call it controlling the calendar.

:29:35. > :29:36.The first two states to vote are Iowa and New Hampshire.

:29:37. > :29:39.Honestly, they don't really matter in and of themselves -

:29:40. > :29:45.and they certainly don't represent America's diverse population.

:29:46. > :29:47.But a good showing in Iowa and New Hampshire

:29:48. > :29:51.creates a sense of momentum, and with that comes exposure.

:29:52. > :29:54.Win Iowa, and suddenly you'll be all over television.

:29:55. > :30:01.Getting the early states is sure to open the pockets of donors.

:30:02. > :30:04.And don't discount that intangible aura of success -

:30:05. > :30:10.We are going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington...

:30:11. > :30:14.who've taken that whole success thing just a little too far.

:30:15. > :30:21.But if the candidate manages to keep their head while others

:30:22. > :30:24.are losing theirs, they make it to March, where the stakes

:30:25. > :30:28.and states and number of precious delegates gets bigger.

:30:29. > :30:31.This is where long-term strategy is crucial.

:30:32. > :30:34.A candidate can't be everywhere at once,

:30:35. > :30:36.and with a lot of states voting on the same day,

:30:37. > :30:41.how does a candidate decide where to focus their efforts?

:30:42. > :30:46.Texas and Vermont both vote on March the 5th.

:30:47. > :30:58.On March 15th, Florida, Ohio and Illinois go to the polls.

:30:59. > :31:01.Analysts say that if we don't have a clear winner by then,

:31:02. > :31:06.this could be the decisive day for both parties.

:31:07. > :31:09.And after that, well, the process starts all over again.

:31:10. > :31:15.to get you enough votes to get you into the White House.

:31:16. > :31:17.Running for President of the United States

:31:18. > :31:20.is the biggest endurance test in the world.

:31:21. > :31:44.Coming up: Corruption in Tennis as two umpires are banned

:31:45. > :31:46.for 'courtsiding' - but what does it involve and how has

:31:47. > :31:53.A new taskforce is being launched by the Home Office today

:31:54. > :31:56.The body which will include representatives from banks

:31:57. > :32:01.and the police plus the government, will try and work together to make

:32:02. > :32:04.sure there's a more concerted effort to crack down on fraud.

:32:05. > :32:07.They are promising to "help protect the public from becoming victims

:32:08. > :32:09.of fraud, do everything in their power to stop fraudsters

:32:10. > :32:12.from operating and catch the criminals behind the crime".

:32:13. > :32:16.It comes on the day it's revealed that the number of bogus current

:32:17. > :32:18.account applications has more than doubled over the last year -

:32:19. > :32:21.according to a credit reference company.

:32:22. > :32:24.Let's speak to Alex Grant, who's the boss of fraud prevention

:32:25. > :32:38.Thanks for talking to us. Surely you do everything you can to tackle

:32:39. > :32:44.fraud? My role is to manage fraud prevention which is protect in

:32:45. > :32:51.customers, making sure their cash is safe. To do that, we spend heavily

:32:52. > :32:54.on systems. Last night we launched a new analytic system which cost

:32:55. > :33:00.Barclays Bank ?15 million. But it will help us manage the 2.5 billion

:33:01. > :33:06.card transactions are customers do every year. Is this launching of a

:33:07. > :33:12.new task force, all the major banks are involved in, is it an admission,

:33:13. > :33:15.if you like, that actually, there is stuff you can improve on when it

:33:16. > :33:22.comes to protect in customers from fraud? I also chaired Financial

:33:23. > :33:28.Fraud Action where the banks get together and we share data, share

:33:29. > :33:35.frauds and losses and we help each other understand what is going on

:33:36. > :33:40.and that helps us help customers. My feeling is the task force is the

:33:41. > :33:45.next push, we need to get more joined up, more connected and the

:33:46. > :33:49.work strands coming out of the task force will have representatives from

:33:50. > :33:54.government, Home Office, police and banks all working together on the

:33:55. > :33:57.same agenda. I think that will take us forward. What are the things you

:33:58. > :34:03.are worried about when it comes to fraud? I mentioned this credit

:34:04. > :34:13.reference company has said the amount of fraud on current account

:34:14. > :34:18.applications has doubled, they can make bogus loan and credit card

:34:19. > :34:24.applications? In Barclays Bank, one fraud is one too many. Our corporate

:34:25. > :34:29.clients could be attacked by bogus e-mails and malware. Retail clients

:34:30. > :34:35.by the kind of activities you have just outlined. The job within fraud

:34:36. > :34:40.prevention is to manage a strategy that manages these different types

:34:41. > :34:43.of attack. This is just one tool I have just mentioned, we invest

:34:44. > :34:48.millions of pounds every year to help manage different fraud attacks

:34:49. > :34:56.that we see. You make it sound you are a crass -- across all the cases

:34:57. > :35:02.of fraud, but you are not because we hear of customers being defrauded.

:35:03. > :35:07.Are ahead of the fraudsters? I wouldn't say we are ahead of the

:35:08. > :35:10.fraudsters, they are able to invest heavily in the process themselves.

:35:11. > :35:18.But to give you some data points, eight out of ten of the online fraud

:35:19. > :35:22.BC, amounting to a year are prevented by the banks and the

:35:23. > :35:26.systems and tools. Our customers have a part to play, they have to be

:35:27. > :35:30.careful how they share their data, have to be careful if they answer

:35:31. > :35:37.the phone and someone says, please transfer money. Banks would never do

:35:38. > :35:39.this. We invest in systems, the combination with those two and

:35:40. > :35:44.working closer with the government and the police to go and arrest some

:35:45. > :35:50.of these people, which I don't think we do enough of, makes a difference.

:35:51. > :35:53.Thanks, Alex. The boss of fraud prevention at Barclays Bank.

:35:54. > :36:01.A couple of more comments on junior doctors, striking for the second

:36:02. > :36:06.time. Allison says, I support them, they are trying desperately to

:36:07. > :36:11.protect the NHS from the government hell bent on destruction. Amelia

:36:12. > :36:14.says I am a medical student who will be one of the first to potentially

:36:15. > :36:21.signed this new contract which is unsafe for the patients and not fair

:36:22. > :36:25.on the doctors. I only have to work a lot of hours to make ends meet.

:36:26. > :36:30.These conditions will be so dreadful, it will make me want to

:36:31. > :36:36.leave the profession. Who is to blame? Jeremy Hunt. Every doctor and

:36:37. > :36:42.medical student agonises over this, but I suspect Jeremy Hunt couldn't

:36:43. > :36:47.muster up such empathy. This in from Norman Smith from Westminster,

:36:48. > :36:51.government sources, he says, are telling him there is little time

:36:52. > :36:56.left to resolve the dispute. Sources say a deal will have to be done by

:36:57. > :37:02.the middle of February. Well, it is the 14th on Sunday! If the talks are

:37:03. > :37:06.to succeed. Otherwise it is understood the government will move

:37:07. > :37:10.to impose the new contracts on junior doctors, which will take

:37:11. > :37:11.effect from this autumn. We will talk to Norman later in the

:37:12. > :37:15.programme. Two international tennis umpires

:37:16. > :37:17.have been secretly banned, one of them for life,

:37:18. > :37:19.for corrupt activities last year. An investigation by The Guardian

:37:20. > :37:22.newspaper also reveals that another four officials have been suspended

:37:23. > :37:23.whilst they're investigated. The bans centre on a scam

:37:24. > :37:26.in which umpires deliberately delay posting live scores after each

:37:27. > :37:28.point, allowing gamblers to place bets knowing what's

:37:29. > :37:30.going to happen next. Let's talk to the Guardian

:37:31. > :37:33.journalist who broke the story, Sean Ingle, and also a man who's

:37:34. > :37:40.been investigating match fixing for the European Commission,

:37:41. > :37:44.Ben Van Rompuy who's the head of the ASSER

:37:45. > :38:01.International Sports Law Centre. Sean, this is known as courtsiding,

:38:02. > :38:05.I presume because you have to be at the side of the Court to make this

:38:06. > :38:11.happen? Yes, courtsiding has been around for a long time, it is a

:38:12. > :38:16.practice among gamblers who observe live events, they can either bet

:38:17. > :38:19.directly from the court, which is banned now, or they can alert

:38:20. > :38:24.someone who can place a bet quicker than the TV coverage pictures. Now

:38:25. > :38:29.we have the umpires doing it, which is the first we have ever heard. So

:38:30. > :38:33.it is obviously quite serious. How long is the delay before they post

:38:34. > :38:39.the live score and how do they let the gamblers know what happened in

:38:40. > :38:43.the point, so they can place the money on? It should be

:38:44. > :38:49.instantaneous. Basically, all umpires have a tablet. As soon as a

:38:50. > :38:54.point is played, they will put it in and it gets sent round the world. If

:38:55. > :38:58.you are watching a game on a live score feed or if you are a

:38:59. > :39:04.bookmaker, you can see that. They were delaying that for up to a

:39:05. > :39:07.minute. While that was delayed, they would be text in a gambler, telling

:39:08. > :39:12.them this player has just won a point. The gambler had time to put a

:39:13. > :39:16.number of bets on four different bookmakers around the world, knowing

:39:17. > :39:22.they were one or two points ahead of the action. It is so simple isn't

:39:23. > :39:27.it? It is so simple. What do you think of the fact that first,

:39:28. > :39:30.umpires are involved in corruption, not necessarily just players and

:39:31. > :39:37.also the fact the global governing body of tennis kept this quiet? I

:39:38. > :39:41.spoke to a senior figure who was shocked at the news and he said it

:39:42. > :39:46.gets to the heart and soul of the game. We expect sometimes players

:39:47. > :39:52.will cheat and sometimes do things that are wrong. But in our less

:39:53. > :39:57.innocent times, we still think umpires will uphold the game.

:39:58. > :40:01.Secondly, I think it raises questions for the ITF, the governing

:40:02. > :40:06.body of tennis. One of the officials who was banned for a year, he was

:40:07. > :40:11.certified for life in February 2015 for contact ding another official on

:40:12. > :40:17.Facebook to manipulate the score of matches. But that was kept quiet.

:40:18. > :40:21.The ITF will say it is not in the rules to release this, but we change

:40:22. > :40:25.the rules in December. We know sporting bodies have to be as

:40:26. > :40:29.transparent as possible, given the suspicions in all sorts of sports,

:40:30. > :40:38.football and athletics. We have got to us, where they as transparent as

:40:39. > :40:41.they could have been. Let's talk to our other guests, you have been

:40:42. > :40:47.investigating for the European Commission. It is not match fixing,

:40:48. > :40:51.but it is corruption. What do you say to what the Guardian have

:40:52. > :40:57.uncovered? I agree, the most surprising part of this is it has

:40:58. > :41:05.been kept quiet. It is difficult to prove any form of corruption, but

:41:06. > :41:09.when you can impose disciplinary sanctions, you should communicate

:41:10. > :41:13.because it gives the signal, we are taking this serious, there is zero

:41:14. > :41:18.tolerance and we are investigating such practices. I don't understand

:41:19. > :41:22.why they are so secretive about this and it creates the perception, as we

:41:23. > :41:26.have seen from the revelations that were released last month, it gives

:41:27. > :41:31.the perception they are not doing anything. Apparently this isn't

:41:32. > :41:37.true. I cannot comprehend why they do not make this public and actually

:41:38. > :41:42.deter other umpires, in this case, from trying to do the same thing.

:41:43. > :41:50.Because there is a lifetime ban over your head. Sean, do you have a

:41:51. > :41:53.theory? If they reveal what the punishment is that they have carried

:41:54. > :42:03.out on these umpires, it deters others? We have asked why this

:42:04. > :42:08.wasn't released and we haven't had a response. All they came back with

:42:09. > :42:12.was, it wasn't in our rules and we have changed our rules now. In

:42:13. > :42:16.future, any of these cases will be made public. I agree, it is an

:42:17. > :42:22.obvious things to do and it shows they are being transparent as well.

:42:23. > :42:30.So I agree with you. What have you discovered in your own

:42:31. > :42:34.investigations into corruption? With these kind of events with

:42:35. > :42:39.courtsiding, usually for most events, there will be more data

:42:40. > :42:43.scouts present so you can crosscheck information. Courtsiding is not a

:42:44. > :42:49.huge problem any more because betting operators would pre-empt it

:42:50. > :42:52.by delaying accepting the bet by one or two seconds, so the head start

:42:53. > :42:58.you usually had would not give you a great advantage any more. With these

:42:59. > :43:01.tournaments where there is no audience, no media coverage, it is

:43:02. > :43:07.the umpire that is actually giving their statistics. That makes you

:43:08. > :43:13.have only one source of the development of the game. That is of

:43:14. > :43:22.course dangerous. As we have seen in this case, if you are the corrupt

:43:23. > :43:26.source, you get the head start because the delay will be

:43:27. > :43:28.sufficient. It is a problem for betting operators, why are the

:43:29. > :43:37.offering bees kind of games? They want to have an offering 24 hours,

:43:38. > :43:44.but there is so many integrity risks and so easy to manipulate. You

:43:45. > :43:51.almost invite or give it on a golden plate to make corruption possible.

:43:52. > :43:56.There is also something to be said from the betting operators' did, why

:43:57. > :43:59.they are taking these risks offering bets on these games that quite

:44:00. > :44:06.frankly, not a lot of people care about or follow, as this ITF future

:44:07. > :44:10.tournaments. Sean, briefly, the other for officials who have been

:44:11. > :44:14.suspended while they are investigated, what can you tell us

:44:15. > :44:22.about what they are being investigated for? Very little, apart

:44:23. > :44:25.from the fact it is courtsiding and they face life bans. But we don't

:44:26. > :44:30.know any more because the process is under review are the tennis

:44:31. > :44:36.integrity unit. Because that is the case now, it is all very vague until

:44:37. > :44:42.the decision is announced. At least this time it will be public unlike

:44:43. > :44:47.the last couple of decisions. Thank you both.

:44:48. > :44:58.The fallout from the Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders US presidential

:44:59. > :45:03.race. We will get a reaction from an American living in London to Donald

:45:04. > :45:05.Trump's victory in New Hampshire. Let's get the latest

:45:06. > :45:19.weather update with Carol. I am talking today about how cold it

:45:20. > :45:25.will get, our favourite subject. This morning I could see all the

:45:26. > :45:29.stars. It is I see. We have earned area of low pressure coming in.

:45:30. > :45:33.There is the risk of some wintry showers but it is just a risk. Most

:45:34. > :45:40.of it will be rain. Look at what happens as we head into the weekend.

:45:41. > :45:46.No pressure comes across our shores. This becomes slow-moving because it

:45:47. > :45:50.is disengaged from the jet stream. This could produce some snow from

:45:51. > :45:55.parts of Wales down to the Midlands, The Cotswolds, that kind of area. It

:45:56. > :46:01.is a very mobile situation so it could change. The variation in the

:46:02. > :46:06.position will change the impact of the weather. The other thing I want

:46:07. > :46:09.to point out is the wind direction. You can see some wintry showers

:46:10. > :46:13.coming from north-east Scotland and North East England as well. As we

:46:14. > :46:19.move from Saturday into Sunday, this is when it really turns cold. The

:46:20. > :46:23.low pressure starts to pull away. The wind veers north-easterly and

:46:24. > :46:28.then northerly. It is behind this band of rain we could see some snow.

:46:29. > :46:32.We could see some snow anywhere across Scotland, possibly across the

:46:33. > :46:38.north of England, even further south. Cuddle up to your loved one

:46:39. > :46:41.on Valentine's Day because it will be blooming freezing! It is

:46:42. > :46:48.Valentine's Day, I had forgotten about that! You can see by Sunday

:46:49. > :46:54.the milder air is pushed away by this northerly. It is miserable? It

:46:55. > :46:59.is, it will feel cold. It is cold now but it will feel much colder. We

:47:00. > :47:05.will be talking about our central heating. The viewers will look

:47:06. > :47:11.forward to that conversation! What about today? Today is much quieter.

:47:12. > :47:15.This is a beautiful picture sent in from Fort William. You can see the

:47:16. > :47:20.sun is already out. For many of us, we have started the day with some

:47:21. > :47:27.showers. A lot of them coming into Wales, Cheshire and the Midlands. We

:47:28. > :47:30.have had them in Scotland and parts of eastern England. As we go through

:47:31. > :47:35.the morning a lot of those will fade. The big lump of cloud will

:47:36. > :47:39.also start to break up and more sunshine will develop. Some of the

:47:40. > :47:43.showers are wintry in nature. The showers in England are pushing more

:47:44. > :47:50.into the direction of Cornwall. Drying up in Devon and Somerset. It

:47:51. > :47:55.will still feel cold, especially through exposed and blustery wind.

:47:56. > :47:58.Not much wind in Wales. We are looking at dry weather and sunshine.

:47:59. > :48:04.A similar story across Northern Ireland. Showers continuing across

:48:05. > :48:13.Scotland. More so across the Northern Isles. It will feel a bit

:48:14. > :48:17.nippy. For Northern England cold, crisp, winter sunshine. The same for

:48:18. > :48:24.East Anglia and Kent. As we drift across Southern counties you will be

:48:25. > :48:29.very unlucky to catch a shower. Through the evening and overnight,

:48:30. > :48:32.if anything, we have the band of showers in northern Scotland

:48:33. > :48:36.thinking a wee bit further south. That could produce some snow and

:48:37. > :48:41.might affect some of the higher routes. These are the temperatures

:48:42. > :48:47.in the countryside. It will be cold with a widespread frost. There is

:48:48. > :48:49.the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. The other risk we have

:48:50. > :48:57.tonight is of freezing fog patches is. Particular in the south west and

:48:58. > :49:02.south. Tomorrow, again a mostly dry day for the bulk of the British

:49:03. > :49:06.Isles. Yes, there will still be a few showers around in the West and

:49:07. > :49:10.south as well, but a lot of dry weather. Temperatures roughly where

:49:11. > :49:17.we expect them to be at this stage in February. As we move on into

:49:18. > :49:23.Friday, the low pressure is edging in and pushing away. We think it

:49:24. > :49:27.will produce some snow, perhaps on its leading edge, but mostly, it is

:49:28. > :49:34.likely to be rain. Behind it, we are looking at a lot of dry weather. And

:49:35. > :49:40.some easterly wind in the far north-east of Scotland.

:49:41. > :49:42.Hello, it's Wednesday, it's 10 o clock, I'm Victoria

:49:43. > :49:58.Junior doctors are staging a walk-out. This affects people

:49:59. > :50:02.working the hardest areas the most. People in A and children's doctors

:50:03. > :50:08.already working 24-hour is a day seven days a week. It is not right

:50:09. > :50:14.if there are different outcomes on a Saturday and Sunday. And the way the

:50:15. > :50:20.contract works business enterprises people to work on those days because

:50:21. > :50:23.they have to be paid more. We will be talking to a Conservative MP and

:50:24. > :50:30.we will bring together a striking junior doctor and a dad who's son

:50:31. > :50:32.has had his operation cancelled today because of the strike.

:50:33. > :50:35.Also this morning: Donald Trump scores a major victory in his bid

:50:36. > :50:38.to become the next US President after winning the backing

:50:39. > :50:40.of Republicans in New Hampshire - outsider Bernie Sanders easily

:50:41. > :50:53.What voters here confirmed tonight is nothing short of the beginning of

:50:54. > :50:57.a political revolution. We are going to start winning again and we are

:50:58. > :51:04.going to win so much, you are going to be so happy, we are going to make

:51:05. > :51:08.America so great again, maybe greater than before.

:51:09. > :51:11.Also, targets to recruit new teachers have been missed for the

:51:12. > :51:19.fourth year running. We look at what is going wrong.

:51:20. > :51:32.Government sources say if the new contract is not reached with junior

:51:33. > :51:34.doctors then a new contract will be imposed.

:51:35. > :51:36.Junior doctors in England have begun

:51:37. > :51:38.a second 24-hour strike over pay and conditions.

:51:39. > :51:44.The walkout got underway at eight o'clock this morning.

:51:45. > :51:46.Nearly 3000 operations have been cancelled as a result

:51:47. > :51:50.Only emergency care will be carried out.

:51:51. > :51:56.We continue to keep our patients say. That is our primary

:51:57. > :52:00.requirement. We will use all of the clinical care we have will stop.

:52:01. > :52:03.The family of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler have spoken

:52:04. > :52:06.of the "torment and pain" they have been through since her killer

:52:07. > :52:12.Levi Bellfield finally gave police details of his crimes.

:52:13. > :52:21."perhaps her soul, at long last, can finally

:52:22. > :52:24.The 13-year-old was killed after being abducted on her walk

:52:25. > :52:34.We are joined by our reporter Frankie McCamley. Many people will

:52:35. > :52:38.remember the huge investigation, the disappearance of Milly Dowler. She

:52:39. > :52:44.went missing working home -- walking home from school in 2012. Her

:52:45. > :52:48.remains were found in woods in Hampshire. Levi Belfield was jailed

:52:49. > :52:54.for her murder but he did not admit to it until May last year. When he

:52:55. > :52:59.spoke to officers from Surrey Police, he described how he had

:53:00. > :53:06.abducted her and tortured her and finally murdered her. He also gave

:53:07. > :53:13.information about a suspected accomplice. Police investigated and

:53:14. > :53:18.arrested a 40-year-old man but released him without charge. Today,

:53:19. > :53:23.the family have spoken and said they had to keep silent while the

:53:24. > :53:27.investigation was taking place. They have also said there are no words to

:53:28. > :53:31.describe the additional torment and pain they were going through since

:53:32. > :53:35.they were given the information about the last few hours of their

:53:36. > :53:42.daughter's death. They said this pressure has put the family, it has

:53:43. > :53:47.been unimaginable and they have had to fight every step of the way to

:53:48. > :53:52.get this far. Now they say they know the final hours of Milly's life and

:53:53. > :53:55.they say they hope she can finally rest in peace today. Thank you.

:53:56. > :53:58.Donald Trump has scored a major victory in his bid to become

:53:59. > :54:00.the next US President after winning the backing of Republicans

:54:01. > :54:07.The Democrat Bernie Sanders who was the outsider,

:54:08. > :54:10.managed to beat his main rival Hillary Clinton by more

:54:11. > :54:35.Investigators in southern Germany are trying to establish what caused

:54:36. > :54:37.a head-on crash between two commuter trains on Tuesday,

:54:38. > :54:40.The black box recorders from both trains are being examined.

:54:41. > :54:43.German media are reporting that human error is considered

:54:44. > :54:44.the most likely cause of the accident.

:54:45. > :54:46.Teacher shortages in England are growing after recruitment

:54:47. > :54:48.targets were missed for the fourth year running.

:54:49. > :54:51.The National Audit office says more and more secondary school pupils

:54:52. > :54:53.are being taught by teachers who don't have a degree

:54:54. > :54:58.Two international tennis umpires have been secretly banned,

:54:59. > :55:01.one of them for life, for corrupt activities last year.

:55:02. > :55:04.An investigation by The Guardian newspaper also reveals that another

:55:05. > :55:07.four officials have been suspended whilst they're investigated.

:55:08. > :55:10.The bans centre on a scam in which umpires deliberately delay

:55:11. > :55:14.posting live scores after each point - allowing gamblers to place bets

:55:15. > :55:26.Let's catch up with all the sport now and join Ore, who has the latest

:55:27. > :55:30.on the row over ticket prices at Premier League matches.

:55:31. > :55:37.That is right. They are going the wrong way, if you ask fans and

:55:38. > :55:42.supporters groups today, there is no need for Premier League clubs to

:55:43. > :55:46.charge such high prices. 10,000 Liverpool supporters staged a

:55:47. > :55:56.walk-out at Anfield on Saturday over the increased cost of ticket prices.

:55:57. > :56:01.The fans say there is no excuse. Football clubs are making more money

:56:02. > :56:07.than ever before. The new TV deals, Liverpool will make an excess of

:56:08. > :56:12.hundred million. Liverpool football club decided to make more money than

:56:13. > :56:16.ever before from supporters. If I tell you that under the next media

:56:17. > :56:20.deal, that every Premier League club could afford to let every fan in

:56:21. > :56:25.free to every game and still have as much money as they have now, that

:56:26. > :56:30.shows you the eye watering scale of it. This is not just a Liverpool

:56:31. > :56:36.football club issue, there are fans around the country home and away who

:56:37. > :56:39.are getting priced out and finding it increasingly unaffordable. We

:56:40. > :56:44.will be talking to supporters about action they may take. I think it is

:56:45. > :56:50.important at this moment in time for us to keep this pressure on clubs.

:56:51. > :56:55.They are not happy and they have a reason. The cheapest average Premier

:56:56. > :56:59.League ticket costs around ?30 while so much tickets in Germany's

:57:00. > :57:06.Bundesliga can be bought for around ?9. Having said that, fans at

:57:07. > :57:11.Borussia Dortmund protested at high prices by arriving late and then

:57:12. > :57:16.doing that, showering tennis balls onto the pitch. Away tickets for the

:57:17. > :57:23.match were around ?55 and that seems to be a universal issue. Football

:57:24. > :57:26.fans not happy. And there were more unhappy

:57:27. > :57:33.Liverpool fans at Upton Park last night after the dramatic FA Cup win

:57:34. > :57:38.which the West Ham manager believes will go down in the history of the

:57:39. > :57:49.club. Seemingly seconds away from a penalty shoot out. Angela oh

:57:50. > :57:58.Ogbonna's header in the dying minutes of the game. This will go

:57:59. > :58:03.into the history of the game definitely. It is the last season in

:58:04. > :58:09.our stadium and we play Liverpool of course, and it is 120 minutes, and

:58:10. > :58:13.we scored in the last minute of the game. And the man who coached

:58:14. > :58:17.Jessica Ennis-Hill to world and Olympic titles wants the GB

:58:18. > :58:23.preparation camp for the Rio games to be moved outside of Brazil

:58:24. > :58:27.because of the Zika virus. He says he has a duty of care and will not

:58:28. > :58:36.be putting any pressure on her to compete. The camp is meant to be in

:58:37. > :58:44.the low horizontally. Some advice has avoided -- suggested women

:58:45. > :58:59.should avoid getting pregnant until 2018. At ten 30, join us for more

:59:00. > :59:03.information about the cricket. Yesterday, I agreed that my two boys

:59:04. > :59:10.on a school night could go and see West Ham and Liverpool, did I do the

:59:11. > :59:14.right thing? They are only 12 and nine. For me as a football fan, it

:59:15. > :59:21.depends which side they are supporting. They are West Ham

:59:22. > :59:25.season-ticket holders. You made the right call. I have not seen them

:59:26. > :59:27.this morning but I am sure they are very happy but will be very tired

:59:28. > :59:29.later on. Thank you. Good morning, welcome

:59:30. > :59:33.to the programme, we're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel

:59:34. > :59:38.until 11 this morning. You've been getting in touch this

:59:39. > :59:41.morning on the doctors strike - and as we've been hearing the main

:59:42. > :59:51.sticking point seems This text says, I am a ward sister.

:59:52. > :59:55.Junior doctors start at 7:30am and will not finish until midnight and

:59:56. > :00:01.that is not right. Louise on Twitter says I am finding it difficult to

:00:02. > :00:04.feel sorry for junior doctors, normal people work shifts, there is

:00:05. > :00:09.no such thing as a normal working week any more. Do keep those coming

:00:10. > :00:11.in. We want to hear your views, particularly if you are affected by

:00:12. > :00:19.the strike. Texts will be charged

:00:20. > :00:21.at the standard network rate. Wherever you are you can

:00:22. > :00:24.watch our programme online - via the BBC News app

:00:25. > :00:26.or our website bbc.co.uk/victoria. Around 3,000 operations have been

:00:27. > :00:28.postponed because of today's junior doctors' strike, according

:00:29. > :00:30.to estimates released This second 24-hour walk-out

:00:31. > :00:33.at hospitals in England is over pay and working hours -

:00:34. > :00:36.but emergency care will be provided. NHS England says all hospitals have

:00:37. > :00:38.plans in place to deal with the disruption and emergency

:00:39. > :00:41.care will still be provided. But more than 2,800 non-emergency

:00:42. > :00:43.operations have been cancelled and many non-urgent

:00:44. > :00:45.appointments will also be postponed. Scotland, Wales and Northern

:00:46. > :00:47.Ireland are not affected. Our reporter Jim Reed

:00:48. > :00:49.has been looking at why The priority at the moment

:00:50. > :01:06.is the thousands of people that we think die unnecessarily

:01:07. > :01:16.because we don't have proper cover for urgent and

:01:17. > :01:18.emergency care on weekends. They are trying to cut our pay

:01:19. > :01:22.when we are already, you know, overworked,

:01:23. > :01:23.underpaid, demoralised, and this is why people

:01:24. > :01:31.are going forward. and this is why people

:01:32. > :01:32.are going abroad. There are 55,000 junior doctors

:01:33. > :01:34.in England. These are not just students

:01:35. > :01:38.leaving medical school, but anyone below consultant

:01:39. > :01:40.or full GP level. That can mean someone

:01:41. > :01:42.with years of experience They are the person

:01:43. > :01:48.that you will see clerking you in

:01:49. > :01:50.when you go into A, they are the person

:01:51. > :01:53.you might see in your GP practice. Often they'll be

:01:54. > :01:55.the person that comes round on the ward

:01:56. > :01:57.round and sees you. They are often also the people that

:01:58. > :02:00.will be doing surgery in theatre, they'll be assisting the consultant

:02:01. > :02:05.when they do operations. The starting salary is just under

:02:06. > :02:07.23,000, but add in over time and unsocial hours, and average pay

:02:08. > :02:11.in the first two years is 36,000. Those in higher training

:02:12. > :02:14.can earn 53,000, rising to 70,000

:02:15. > :02:17.for the most experienced. How does that compare

:02:18. > :02:23.with other jobs? Well, it's hard to measure

:02:24. > :02:26.and depends on where you live. But take average pay for a junior

:02:27. > :02:29.doctor in those first two years. It is more than a teacher

:02:30. > :02:32.or a police officer, but about the same as the starting

:02:33. > :02:34.salary for a banker One big part of this

:02:35. > :02:40.is hours worked. The Government wants to raise

:02:41. > :02:42.basic wages but change the way it pays

:02:43. > :02:44.for extra unsocial hours. At the moment, regular hours are set

:02:45. > :02:48.at seven to seven Monday to Friday, The Government wants to extend

:02:49. > :02:54.those core hours to 10pm in the week and into Saturday

:02:55. > :02:57.for the first time. This contract doesn't seem to value

:02:58. > :03:06.the hard work of junior doctors, and the trouble with that is

:03:07. > :03:09.that the doctors that are working the ones that are working

:03:10. > :03:14.some of the hardest rotas, working through the night,

:03:15. > :03:17.through the weekend et cetera, these are the people that really

:03:18. > :03:21.lose out with this contract. They are the people

:03:22. > :03:24.that this affects most. In the last election,

:03:25. > :03:27.the Conservatives promised But illness doesn't

:03:28. > :03:31.respect working hours. Heart attacks, major accidents,

:03:32. > :03:33.babies, these things don't just

:03:34. > :03:40.come from nine to five. that it's more dangerous to get

:03:41. > :03:45.sick at the weekend. A recent study found the odds

:03:46. > :03:47.of dying in hospital are 10% higher on Saturday

:03:48. > :03:49.or Sunday. But doctors say these changes

:03:50. > :03:51.will strip back the safeguards meant to stop

:03:52. > :03:54.them working excessive hours and Junior doctors in England only

:03:55. > :04:01.are on strike until 8am Thursday morning, but this

:04:02. > :04:04.will not affect emergency roles, so A and maternity

:04:05. > :04:26.should run as usual. In a moment we'll be live on a

:04:27. > :04:37.picket line, but first to Norman Smith in Westminster. I get the

:04:38. > :04:44.definite sense the government view is last chance saloon land now. They

:04:45. > :04:47.are saying if the deal is undone by the middle of February, the

:04:48. > :04:54.contracts will just have to be imposed. We are February the 10th at

:04:55. > :04:59.the moment, so you are talking days, maybe a week, maybe a fortnight. But

:05:00. > :05:04.we are reaching the end in this dispute. The government is macro

:05:05. > :05:10.view, why? They need the time to make the administrative personnel

:05:11. > :05:15.and bureaucratic change is good to go in August. That would have to

:05:16. > :05:19.begin by the middle of February. They are saying we are out of time

:05:20. > :05:24.here. If it is not going to be solved, we will just impose it. The

:05:25. > :05:29.government are saying this has now come down to one issue, everything

:05:30. > :05:34.has been sold accepted the issue of Saturdays. And why it is so hard to

:05:35. > :05:41.resolve the issue of Saturdays. It is an issue of sensible for both

:05:42. > :05:44.sides. Mr Hunter's people are saying he is not willing to budge on

:05:45. > :05:51.Saturday, he thinks Saturday should be part of a junior doctors normal

:05:52. > :05:55.working week, because it is part of moving to a seven-day NHS and he

:05:56. > :06:00.will not move on that, that is his bottom line. The junior doctors have

:06:04. > :06:07.different. They are not looking for the full premium rate on Saturdays,

:06:08. > :06:12.but they want some additional pay will stop Jeremy Hunt says I have my

:06:13. > :06:19.manifesto, my Conservative manifesto commitments as my mandate. The

:06:20. > :06:23.junior doctors so we have 98% of our members as our mandate. When you put

:06:24. > :06:27.that together, both sides are stuck on principle and stuck on their

:06:28. > :06:32.mandates. With time pressing, it is hard to see how this will be

:06:33. > :06:44.resolved or whether either side will be blinking. Let's go to our picket

:06:45. > :06:48.line. Here at Milton Keynes it looks like business as usual from where I

:06:49. > :06:55.am standing. But I'm told 70 out patients clinic appointments and 18

:06:56. > :06:59.clinical procedures have been postponed. I spoke to the chief

:07:00. > :07:03.executive here. He said there is disruption, but less than last time.

:07:04. > :07:09.We will continue to keep our patients safe. It is our primary,

:07:10. > :07:14.absolute primary requirement. We will ensure that we use all of the

:07:15. > :07:19.clinical professionals we have to look after the patients. In terms of

:07:20. > :07:23.where the contract is going, we continue to hope there will be a

:07:24. > :07:27.national settlement that will allow our juniors to come back to work,

:07:28. > :07:35.not have any more strikes and we can go on from there. Well, the junior

:07:36. > :07:38.doctors here are picketing around the corner, ten to 12 of them and

:07:39. > :07:44.they are clear, they will not back down until there is a contract they

:07:45. > :07:47.feel is safe and fair. It is very hard to know where this is going to

:07:48. > :07:51.go. The government is suggesting they need to sort this out soon,

:07:52. > :07:55.there needs to be a contract in place ready to go in August with a

:07:56. > :08:00.new set of doctors coming in. The junior doctors right now say it can

:08:01. > :08:05.go ahead. It is hard to know if there will be more strikes. Some

:08:06. > :08:09.juniors have said they will walk out of England, go and work elsewhere,

:08:10. > :08:11.where they say are better working conditions. Thank you very much.

:08:12. > :08:14.So how is today's strike action affecting patients?

:08:15. > :08:16.John Fitzgerald's 15-year-old son James, has had his dental surgery

:08:17. > :08:18.cancelled because of the strike, he's in Southampton.

:08:19. > :08:21.And here in the studio we have Dr Roshana Mehdian a junior doctor

:08:22. > :08:25.in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, who is on strike.

:08:26. > :08:34.Welcome both of you. John Fitzgerald, tell the doctor about

:08:35. > :08:39.the operation your son was supposed to have today? He was expecting a

:08:40. > :08:44.routine surgical operation on his two front teeth. It is an operation

:08:45. > :08:54.that should have taken place last autumn. He was initially put for a

:08:55. > :08:58.referral in the summer 2014. So he has been waiting a long time for

:08:59. > :09:02.this operation. When you found out it was to be cancelled because of

:09:03. > :09:10.the strike, how did you react, how did he react? It has had an impact

:09:11. > :09:13.on him. Clearly, there is some uncertainty after what will happen

:09:14. > :09:19.when he has the operation. My concern primarily has been that we

:09:20. > :09:24.haven't been able to find out from the hospital, how much longer we are

:09:25. > :09:27.going to have to wait. They have told us with the backlog from

:09:28. > :09:31.previous strikes and current circumstances at the hospital, they

:09:32. > :09:38.are not in a position to rearrange the surgery. What do you think of

:09:39. > :09:42.the strike action? I personally think it sets a very dangerous

:09:43. > :09:50.precedent. I think the doctors are being short-sighted. They seem to be

:09:51. > :09:59.placing themselves as more value than... Than the patients. What do

:10:00. > :10:03.you say to John? The first thing I want to say is no doctor, including

:10:04. > :10:11.myself and my colleagues, take strike action lightly. It is

:10:12. > :10:16.unprecedented, in 40 years there hasn't been a strike like it. Apart

:10:17. > :10:21.from the one in January, this is the second time now. Of course, but

:10:22. > :10:24.strikes like this haven't occurred for 40 years. You can see the

:10:25. > :10:30.strength of feeling in junior doctors. The first thing I would

:10:31. > :10:34.like to say to you Mr Fitzgerald, I am sorry. I am sorry on behalf of

:10:35. > :10:40.myself and on behalf of the junior doc is you are striking today. We

:10:41. > :10:44.would much rather be at work. The reason we are doing this is because

:10:45. > :10:49.we can see in the future, a real danger to our patients. It is

:10:50. > :10:53.incredibly dangerous to bring this contract in for numerous reasons,

:10:54. > :10:59.but one of a main reasons is we are seeing some of the lowest staffing

:11:00. > :11:03.levels of doctors for many decades. And when there are so few doctors

:11:04. > :11:08.and they are so overstretched, we cannot afford a contract that will

:11:09. > :11:13.lead to a further exodus of doctors. It is a long-term issue, we cannot

:11:14. > :11:16.afford it to happen and we will safeguard against it for the

:11:17. > :11:23.patients. Clearly, there is a stalemate. But I think the issue is

:11:24. > :11:30.that it is wrong to affect the patients. That is where the

:11:31. > :11:36.situation is going very much wrong. It is really regrettable, and we

:11:37. > :11:43.apologise for any difficulty it has caused our patients. The Jeremy Hunt

:11:44. > :11:48.had a very clear opportunity to end this in January. He had a contract

:11:49. > :11:53.on the table agreed by all sides, which he personally vetoed. He could

:11:54. > :11:59.have ended this then, we don't want to be here, but he has back doors

:12:00. > :12:08.into a corner. Mr Fitzgerald, who do you hold responsible for the strike,

:12:09. > :12:11.the doctors or Jeremy Hunt? It is difficult for the man in the street

:12:12. > :12:16.to understand the rights and wrongs of this. I do believe that Jeremy

:12:17. > :12:22.Hunt has the right aspirations. However, I am not close enough to

:12:23. > :12:28.know the real concerns of the doctors. But, whoever is right, I

:12:29. > :12:39.think this should be managed away from the coal face and not affecting

:12:40. > :12:44.people who need the medical service. I would actually agree, the

:12:45. > :12:50.aspirations to improve care are the right aspirations. They are the

:12:51. > :12:54.aspirations doctors hold and have always held. That is why health care

:12:55. > :13:00.has improved the decades, we have put a lot of work into that. Our

:13:01. > :13:04.concern is, the contract Jeremy Hunt is proposing, his proposals have

:13:05. > :13:12.been done in the wrong way, I am afraid. 98% of junior doctors, the

:13:13. > :13:15.Scottish and wealth governments, patient associations and all the

:13:16. > :13:19.other health care associations have said this is not the right way to go

:13:20. > :13:22.about it. It needs to be done differently. That is what we're

:13:23. > :13:28.asking, for him to work with us, against us. We are hearing from

:13:29. > :13:33.Norman Smith, sources close to Jeremy Hunt, this morning, time is

:13:34. > :13:37.running out, you have a few days to sort this out, possibly a week at

:13:38. > :13:43.the most. If there is no resolution, he will impose these contracts are

:13:44. > :13:46.new idea or two? If he imposes this contract, he personally will be

:13:47. > :13:48.responsible for one of the most dangerous things that has ever

:13:49. > :13:55.happened in the National Health Service. Some people don't

:13:56. > :13:58.understand why you are saying it is dangerous? They understand the issue

:13:59. > :14:02.at Saturday, whether it is treated as a normal day whether you get the

:14:03. > :14:08.premium paid, how does that equal danger? I would like to explain

:14:09. > :14:13.that. At the moment, and actually I think it was one of the headlines in

:14:14. > :14:16.the newspapers today, there is an exodus of junior doctors, it has

:14:17. > :14:23.been going on for years. The problem we have at the moment, doctors,

:14:24. > :14:27.after a few years are working in the National Health Service and many of

:14:28. > :14:31.them leave. It is up to 50% at the moment. If you have an exodus of

:14:32. > :14:36.junior doctors and you cannot safely stuff the rotors, I deal with it

:14:37. > :14:42.daily in my job, I am often having to deal with understaffed rosters.

:14:43. > :14:49.It is a direct danger to my patients. If more people leave and a

:14:50. > :14:52.survey came out today, 80% of junior doctors will consider resignation if

:14:53. > :14:56.this contract comes in. If more people leave and are stretched more

:14:57. > :15:02.thinly over a seven-day service, that doesn't need as many doc is at

:15:03. > :15:07.the weekend, that is stretching doctors and it is going to affect

:15:08. > :15:13.patient safety like many other factors. Are you saying it is

:15:14. > :15:16.nothing to do with the money when it comes to a Saturday? Hand on heart,

:15:17. > :15:22.it is not about the overtime payments you currently receive the

:15:23. > :15:26.working Saturdays? It is multifactorial. Leading into the

:15:27. > :15:31.discussion I was having with you about the junior doctors and the

:15:32. > :15:37.value they should have, the work, life balance they should be

:15:38. > :15:40.afforded. Ultimately, it is a stressful job and we need to be able

:15:41. > :15:46.to have the downtime to be able to do our work correctly. If you need

:15:47. > :15:50.more doctors at the weekend and more services, you have to fund it. You

:15:51. > :15:53.cannot stretch doctors more, the same amount of doctors, stretched

:15:54. > :16:04.further will be dangerous. Let me read some comments. Jeannette

:16:36. > :16:41.comparison and put their lives on the line, I have no sympathy for

:16:42. > :16:50.them, get over it. This text says I would rather have my doctor not

:16:51. > :16:54.running on empty. I have a long-term health condition. Steve says they

:16:55. > :16:59.expect the peasants to work in food stores for their convenience.

:17:00. > :17:04.There is that expectation that you are fighting against what everyone

:17:09. > :17:13.weekend and I'm working all week and I will work all of next week, so

:17:14. > :17:21.that is a misconception. I work weekends and nights. I have done for

:22:35. > :22:39.happened after eight o'clock that evening on the 21st of November

:22:40. > :22:44.1974? I think even if you were young at the time like I was, you would

:22:45. > :22:48.remember that particular night. It was November 1974, it was a wet

:22:49. > :22:54.night in Birmingham. It was payday and a lot of people had packed two

:22:55. > :22:59.city centre pubs. They were basement pubs so when the dorms went off they

:23:00. > :23:05.created devastation. They were the Tavern in the Town and the Mulberry

:23:06. > :23:09.Bush. Police said there were warnings received but there was not

:23:10. > :23:13.enough time to get people out of the pubs. There was carnage and a lot of

:23:14. > :23:19.damage was caused when the bombs went off. It was always assumed,

:23:20. > :23:23.because it was at the height of the Troubles, this was an atrocity

:23:24. > :23:27.carried out by Irish republicans. The provisional IRA leadership

:23:28. > :23:32.always flatly denied it had anything to do with it. Six men who became

:23:52. > :23:55.ago there was a two-year enquiry between 2012 and 2014. West Midlands

:24:48. > :24:51.did it happen, what happened afterwards?

:24:52. > :24:58.On the basis of that, we would be able to ask our own

:24:59. > :25:01.questions and our legal team would be able to ask questions

:25:02. > :25:04.we probably haven't even thought of, but would

:25:05. > :25:15.provide us with answers that could bring is a level of peace.

:25:16. > :25:24.I wonder, is there anyone who will oppose the reopening of such

:25:25. > :25:27.inquests? We understand that both the Police Federation and West

:25:28. > :25:31.Midlands Police will do just that. We have not heard their submissions

:25:32. > :25:38.yet so I do not know on what basis they will say it should not be open.

:25:39. > :25:41.The very start, at the preliminary session, Louise Hunt spoke to the

:25:42. > :25:44.lawyer representing West Midlands Police and she asked if there is

:25:52. > :25:55.closed. What they have said is, it is not alive criminal investigation

:25:56. > :26:00.as people would understand it, they are always looking for new evidence.

:26:01. > :26:04.They say since 2014, they have looked at three significant pieces

:26:05. > :26:07.which they are considering at the moment. Louise Hunt also asked for a

:26:08. > :26:16.list of evidence which has been lost, including a third bomb which

:26:17. > :26:20.did not go off. Ashley Underwood QC began his submissions. He said the

:26:21. > :26:24.Birmingham pub bombings were the most horrific mass murder in living

:26:25. > :26:28.memory. They were followed by the most serious miscarriage of justice

:26:29. > :26:32.in living memory and he told Louise Hunt that there is a compelling case

:26:33. > :26:37.for the resumption because of a substantial amount of new evidence

:26:38. > :26:40.which has come to light since the original criminal investigations.

:26:41. > :26:45.Coroners normally have to simply decide how, when or where someone

:27:42. > :27:44.confirms. We now need to see the will to compromise, with a focus on

:27:45. > :27:48.resolution rather than strike action. Patients should not suffer

:27:49. > :27:50.in a dispute over pay. We will continue to talk with the BMA to

:27:51. > :27:57.agree a contract which is fair and The Republican billionaire,

:27:58. > :28:02.Donald Trump and and the left-wing Democrat, Bernie Sanders have

:28:03. > :28:04.convincingly won the primaries Mr Trump got twice as many votes

:28:05. > :28:08.as his nearest rival, while Mr Sanders beat

:28:09. > :28:10.Hillary Clinton by more Lets take a look at the two men

:28:11. > :28:14.and some of the promises they've been making on their race

:28:15. > :28:27.for the White House. Thank you, New Hampshire.

:28:28. > :28:33.We are going to do something so good and so fast and so strong and the

:28:34. > :28:38.world is going to respect us again. The wealthiest people in the largest

:28:39. > :28:44.corporations in this country will start paying their fair share of

:28:45. > :28:48.taxes. Congratulations to Bernie, in all

:28:49. > :28:54.fairness, we have to congratulate him. We may not like it. We must

:28:55. > :28:59.hold the billionaire class in the 1% that they cannot have it all.

:29:00. > :29:04.He wants to give away our country, folks. We are not going to let it

:29:05. > :29:09.happen. We are going to impose a tax on Wall

:29:10. > :29:15.Street speculation. We are going to rebuild our

:29:16. > :29:20.military. It will be so big, so strong, so powerful.

:29:21. > :29:26.We will make public colleges and universities tuition free.

:29:27. > :29:33.I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.

:29:34. > :29:41.Given the enormous crises facing our country, it is just too late for the

:29:42. > :29:44.same old, same old establishment politics.

:29:45. > :29:48.We have political hacks negotiating our deals for billions and billions

:29:49. > :29:57.and billions of dollars. Not going to happen any more.

:29:58. > :30:00.We are going now to South Carolina. We are going to win in South

:30:05. > :30:10.Carolina and beyond! CHEERING

:30:11. > :30:23.Let's talk to Gary O'Donoghue in New Hampshire. 20 percentage points for

:30:24. > :30:30.Donald Trump and a little bit more for Bernie Sanders. The gaps was

:30:31. > :30:34.smaller than that on average. It is a good night, particularly for

:30:35. > :30:38.Donald Trump because he took a beating in Iowa last night. Expected

:30:39. > :30:44.to come first and didn't. He has bounced back, he is the comeback kid

:30:45. > :30:51.in New Hampshire. Ernie Sanders was absolutely no work this time last

:30:52. > :30:55.year. -- nowhere. Dozens and dozens of points behind Hillary Clinton. He

:30:56. > :31:03.has built this grassroots campaign and has amazing support amongst the

:31:04. > :31:08.young. 89% supporting this 80 odd-year-old senator from Vermont.

:31:09. > :31:17.The big dilemma on the Republican side of the established parties, who

:31:18. > :31:22.will they be able to fine to take on Donald Trump? There was nobody in

:31:23. > :31:28.the pack, Jed Bush nor Marco Rubio showing any signs of breaking out

:31:29. > :31:32.and challenging Donald Trump's popularity. Why do the Republicans

:31:33. > :31:37.want to try to find somebody to challenge his popularity? They don't

:31:38. > :31:41.like him and they thing he cannot win in the general election in

:31:42. > :31:45.November. If you look at Donald Trump's numbers in terms of the

:31:46. > :31:51.general population, approval ratings when you ask everyone as opposed to

:31:52. > :31:55.party members, you get 60 odd percent of disapproval ratings and

:31:56. > :32:00.you cannot win the White House with those ratings. Donald Trump will

:32:01. > :32:04.argue he managed to change minds in the Republican party, I will do it

:32:05. > :32:08.to the general electorate. The Republicans don't like him, they

:32:09. > :32:12.don't think they can win with him, they don't like his brand of

:32:13. > :32:20.demagoguery, and they want someone who is more of a mainstream brand.

:32:21. > :32:24.The demographics are against them, the Latina population is growing in

:32:25. > :32:26.the United States, the black population is growing and they are

:32:27. > :32:32.not doing enough to attract those people to the party. Donald Trump

:32:33. > :32:35.comes along, what does he do? He suggests everyone who comes across

:32:36. > :32:38.the board from Mexico might be a drug dealer or a rapist. Gary

:32:39. > :32:40.O'Donoghue, thank you. Let's talk to Professor Sarah

:32:41. > :32:51.Churchwell How do you read this at this stage,

:32:52. > :32:54.because there is a long way to go? Yes, I wouldn't disagree with

:32:55. > :33:00.anything Gary has said. A couple of things for people to bear in mind,

:33:01. > :33:03.New Hampshire is a small state. One of the things worrying the many

:33:04. > :33:17.others, I am not Donald Trump supporter. Are you a Republican?

:33:18. > :33:21.Not, not likely ever. The point is, he has so far done well with less

:33:22. > :33:25.well educated and hasn't done as well with well-educated people. New

:33:26. > :33:30.Hampshire is a well-educated state. One of the indicators from people

:33:31. > :33:34.who don't like Donald Trump find worrying is he is getting better

:33:35. > :33:39.among well-educated people, and that is the shift. Gary use the word

:33:40. > :33:46.demagoguery, and that is the right word. He is a loose cannon, he's not

:33:47. > :33:49.an established figure. The establishment want to anoint Jed

:33:50. > :33:54.Bush, but he is not tracking with the public. Now they have this dark

:33:55. > :33:57.horse, loose Cannon and they don't know what to do with him. They

:33:58. > :34:04.cannot control him and they don't like that. And as Gary said, he is

:34:05. > :34:08.absolutely reviled by a great proportion of the American

:34:09. > :34:11.electorate, so whether he can win the election, he is popular among

:34:12. > :34:18.Republicans, that is a different thing. Why is Bernie Sanders on the

:34:19. > :34:23.left, on the left of the Democrats are well, so popular with young

:34:24. > :34:29.women? For all of Bernie Sanders' and Trump's differences, they are

:34:30. > :34:34.antiestablishment figures. Bernie Sanders is showing young women are

:34:35. > :34:38.voting along economic lines. There is no way you can draw any other

:34:39. > :34:44.conclusions. Some see that as a betrayal of their own gender,

:34:45. > :34:49.feminism. Madeline Albright said there is a special place in hell for

:34:50. > :34:53.women who don't support other women. Some say it is trying for women

:34:54. > :34:59.because they don't have to go to along gender lines because I a

:35:00. > :35:02.citizen. You can see strong parallels between the generational

:35:03. > :35:06.concerns of young people in America and the generational concerns of

:35:07. > :35:13.young people in Britain, they are voting along similar lines. Jeremy

:35:14. > :35:23.Corbyn's popularity here in Great Britain and Ernie Sanders'

:35:24. > :35:30.popularity in America. What has Hillary Clinton got to do, she's not

:35:31. > :35:34.uninspired speaker, what has she got to do? If I knew that, Hillary

:35:35. > :35:38.Clinton would be paying me millions of dollars to answer it. It is still

:35:39. > :35:53.early and things are shifting. Usually the prime -- primary is have

:35:54. > :35:59.a clear winner quickly. But Hillary Clinton has more delicate than

:36:00. > :36:04.Sanders has. We're talking about two states, neither which is a

:36:05. > :36:12.representative of America generally. We need a better sense of how they

:36:13. > :36:16.are going. My own sense, which may be biased, because Hillary Clinton

:36:17. > :36:21.is the most centrist of these candidates, by far the most

:36:22. > :36:25.experienced. Sanders is a long-standing senator, but she has

:36:26. > :36:31.the foreign policy. He hasn't made any statement yet on foreign policy

:36:32. > :36:43.and that will work against him with a more general and centrist voters.

:36:44. > :36:45.The primary 's are among the most... One of the results in New Hampshire

:36:46. > :36:51.last night was interesting is Sanders picked up some independence.

:36:52. > :36:55.Hillary Clinton is going to gain more traction because she is a

:36:56. > :37:00.centrist candidate and the people who are worried by what they view as

:37:01. > :37:05.the extremism on the left of Sanders and the extremism on the right of

:37:06. > :37:12.Trump, will choose the middle. People are angry about the idea of a

:37:13. > :37:24.dynasty. They don't want more Clintons and they don't want more of

:37:25. > :37:32.the Bush family. It is way too early. Thank you very much.

:37:33. > :37:35.Teacher shortages in England are growing.

:37:36. > :37:38.And the Government has been warned that recruitment targets have been

:37:39. > :37:41.The National Audit Office says ministers don't have enough

:37:42. > :37:43.information to understand local pressures - resulting in more

:37:44. > :37:46.secondary school pupils being taught by teachers who don't have a degree

:37:47. > :37:50.It found a doubling from half a percent to 1.2% of vacancies

:37:51. > :37:53.and temporary filled positions in the teaching workforce

:37:54. > :37:59.In poorer areas, some 54% of leaders in schools with a large proportion

:38:00. > :38:01.of disadvantaged pupils say attracting and keeping

:38:02. > :38:06.good teachers is a major problem, compared with 33%

:38:07. > :38:18.?700 million is spent annually on teacher training

:38:19. > :38:20.but the Department for Education is said to have a weak understanding

:38:21. > :38:27.of the extent of local teacher supply shortages.

:38:28. > :38:30.So how should the government be tackling teacher training?

:38:31. > :38:34.chairman of the Education Select Committee,

:38:35. > :38:37.Vic Goddard, Headteacher at Passmores Academy

:38:38. > :38:39.and star of Channel 4's Educating Essex and Moses Kabba,

:38:40. > :38:46.a deputy head teacher from West London.

:38:47. > :38:55.Thank you all very much for talking to us. Neill Carmichael, what are

:38:56. > :39:02.you going to do? Have an enquiry on the education select committee. Our

:39:03. > :39:05.issues include the complexities that are emerging about the routes into

:39:06. > :39:12.teaching. One of the things I will be putting the spotlight on is the

:39:13. > :39:16.new college are teaching which is designed to be a professional body

:39:17. > :39:21.to represent teaching and encourage professional development. That will

:39:22. > :39:25.not affect teacher shortages now. I don't know if you have got

:39:26. > :39:31.teenagers, but if you had a 15-year-old being taught physics by

:39:32. > :39:34.a teacher who only had an A-level in physics, would you be happy with

:39:35. > :39:40.that? I have got teenagers, and they did do physics. I bet they weren't

:39:41. > :39:47.taught by somebody who only had an A-level in physics? Correct, they

:39:48. > :39:50.weren't. The report does talk about specific areas and specific

:39:51. > :39:55.subjects. That is what we have got to worry about. There is evidence in

:39:56. > :40:00.certain parts of the country where results are not good, where the

:40:01. > :40:03.reputation of schools is not high, recruitment is difficult and

:40:04. > :40:12.retention is also a problem. We have to define that more carefully and I

:40:13. > :40:17.think there needs to be more information on this. Do you think

:40:18. > :40:19.there is a serious problem and not necessarily many people know what to

:40:20. > :40:28.do right now? The problem didn't appear just this year. Four years of

:40:29. > :40:32.missed targets, I wish I could miss four years of missed targets and

:40:33. > :40:36.keep my job. I rely on overseas trained staff. We are not fully

:40:37. > :40:42.staffed and haven't been until September. As much as Mr Carmichael

:40:43. > :40:49.would like to say about the value of my school, they don't want to work

:40:50. > :40:53.in this area, it is a challenge because of the proximity to London.

:40:54. > :40:58.In difficult schools, it is difficult to recruit, that is not

:40:59. > :41:02.just where it is, it is in all schools around the country, in

:41:03. > :41:07.certain subjects, we cannot recruit. Moses, have you got the full

:41:08. > :41:12.complement of teachers at your school? It is interesting my

:41:13. > :41:16.colleague has the same problems. We have a shortage in maths, shortage

:41:17. > :41:22.in science and geography and modern foreign-language us. We have

:41:23. > :41:26.students taking their year 11 GCSE exams without a subject specialist

:41:27. > :41:32.person delivering them. It is a shame cause one of the things you a

:41:33. > :41:38.last meal is what he was going to do about it. He seems way off the mark.

:41:39. > :41:43.Rather than the government tackling social factors around the schools,

:41:44. > :41:48.they are using education as a tool to accelerate progress when teachers

:41:49. > :41:54.are not there. What do you mean? In the respect of their is a teacher

:41:55. > :41:58.shortage. Yes, it is difficult to place them, what are the factors

:41:59. > :42:03.around that? They are throwing more money at teacher training programmes

:42:04. > :42:06.then the issue is why can't teachers coming into the profession and why

:42:07. > :42:13.aren't they staying in the first place first remark the subject my

:42:14. > :42:17.colleagues just mentioned, the English baccalaureate subjects are

:42:18. > :42:22.the key. We are made more accountable the subjects that we

:42:23. > :42:26.cannot recruit teachers for so be accountability is important, but I

:42:27. > :42:34.cannot recruit teachers, so they don't net. Neill Carmichael, do you

:42:35. > :42:39.accept that and we back of when it comes to making schools accountable

:42:40. > :42:43.for those subjects? We look at the league tables and the consequences

:42:44. > :42:52.of them which do drive recruitment and retention. They are right...

:42:53. > :42:56.Briefly if you would... In mathematics, we know there are

:42:57. > :43:03.shortage which, it is a general shortage in science, engineering and

:43:04. > :43:09.maths. We do need to develop subjects and give more leadership to

:43:10. > :43:12.those subjects, so the people feel more attuned with the idea of

:43:13. > :43:17.teaching those subjects. It is one of the things bigger and better

:43:18. > :43:22.multi-Academy Trust 's will be able to do because there is more depth

:43:23. > :43:28.and breadth in the subject areas of teachers. I know both my guests want

:43:29. > :43:32.to come back and that is, but we are sorry we will return to the subject.

:43:33. > :43:33.I want to thank you all for your time. Thanks for coming on the

:43:34. > :43:36.programme. Good luck. A Department for Education spokesman

:43:37. > :44:04.said the reality on the ground cats are ready to take part in

:44:05. > :44:08.the ultimate claw down -
