Hello, it's Wednesday, it's 9.15, I'm Victoria Derbyshire, | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
Junior doctors in England begin a second walk-out. It has led to 3000 | :00:11. | :00:29. | |
operations being cancelled. Despite reassurances by the BMA they would | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
negotiate. Over 3000 operations have been cancelled, which will affect | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
all non-emergency services. By edge the BMA to put patients first. We | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
have presented to the government worked up solution that allows | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
junior doctors to be retained in this country in the long time. The | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
government has rejected this and plays politics with this contract | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
dispute which was obvious when we had a solution and could have | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
avoided this. We talk to one man whose dad has had operation | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
cancelled. Donald Trump scores a major victory | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
in his bid to become the next US President, | :01:10. | :01:12. | |

voters here in New Hampshire confirming tonight, is nothing short | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
of the beginning of a political revolution. We are going to start | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
winning again. We are going to win so much, you are going to be so | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
happy. We are going to make America so great again, maybe than ever | :01:45. | :01:49. | |

Thousands of NHS patients in England will have their operations | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
or hospital appointments cancelled today because of a strike | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
The industrial action - which is over pay and working hours | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
- began at eight o'clock this morning and will last 24 hours. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
NHS England says all hospitals have plans in place to deal | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
with the disruption, and emergency care will still be provided. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Ministers say nearly 3,000 operations have been postponed | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
In a moment we will be live on a picket line in Scunthorpe. | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
Jim Reed has been looking at why the doctors are striking. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
The priority at the moment is the thousands of people | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
that we think die unnecessarily because we don't have proper cover | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
for urgent and emergency care on weekends. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
They are trying to cut our pay when we are already, | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
you know, overworked, underpaid, demoralised, | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
and this is why people are going forward. | :03:48. | :04:00. | |
and this is why people are going abroad. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
There are 55,000 junior doctors in England. | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
These are not just students leaving medical school, | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
but anyone below consultant or full GP level. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
That can mean someone with years of experience in charge | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
They are the person that you will see clerking | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
you in when you go into A, they are the person you might see | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Often they'll be the person that comes round on the ward | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
They are often also the people that will be doing surgery in theatre, | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
they'll be assisting the consultant when they do operations. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
The starting salary is just under 23,000, but add in over time | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
and unsocial hours, and average pay in the first two years is 36,000. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Those in higher training can earn 53,000, rising to 70,000 | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
How does that compare with other jobs? | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Well, it's hard to measure and depends on where you live. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
But take average pay for a junior doctor in those first two years. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
It is more than a teacher or a police officer, | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
but about the same as the starting salary for a banker and less | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
One big part of this is hours worked. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
The Government wants to raise basic wages but change the way it pays | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
At the moment, regular hours are set at seven to seven Monday to Friday, | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
The Government wants to extend those core hours to 10pm in the week | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
and into Saturday for the first time. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
This contract doesn't seem to value the hard work of junior doctors, | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
and the trouble with that is that the doctors that are working | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
some of the most difficult hours, the ones that are working some | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
of the hardest rotas, working through the night, | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
through the weekend et cetera, these are the people that really | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
They the people that this affects most. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
In the last election, the Conservatives promised to bring | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
But illness doesn't respect working hours. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Heart attacks, major accidents, babies, these things don't just come | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
It has been known for years that it's more dangerous to get sick | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
A recent study found the odds of dying in hospital are 10% higher | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
But doctors say these changes will strip back the safeguards meant | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
to stop them working excessive hours and make life less | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Junior doctors in England only are on strike until 8am Thursday | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
morning, but this will not affect emergency roles, | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
so A and maternity should run as usual. | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
Let's now talk to one of the BMA's negotiators - | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
So we can now go live to Dominic Hughes. We live in Scunthorpe where | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
the junior doctors, some of them have joined a picket line. Here in | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
Scunthorpe they have had to cancel a handful of operations, but 3000 200 | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
operations have had to be cancelled across England. Let's talk to one of | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
the doctors. You are a newly qualified doctors? I am, in the | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Castro Department. What is this dispute about? The basic thing, 98% | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
of the junior doctors have said this new contract is not safe that the | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
patients, it is not fair for the doctors and that is why we are | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
striking. I don't want to go into too many details about the contract, | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
but 98% of the people have said it isn't safe. This dispute has been | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
going on since before you qualified, but it comes down to this issue | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
about how much you get paid for working on a Saturday? There are | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
current few issues with the contract. The government is going to | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
impose the contract, they are saying if you don't negotiate we will | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
impose the contract on you, whether you like it or not, frankly it is | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
dangerous. Do you accept the government's argument it is about | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
improving the quality of care at weekends? Definitely, we all want to | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
improve the NHS. The government want to do a seven-day NHS service. We | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
all work seven days a week. They want to make collect the work seven | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
days with five days funding. It will stretch the doctors even further and | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
it is unsafe. Some of those planned operations are cancelled today, hip | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
operations and me operations? Yes. At Scunthorpe, it is just a handful, | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
but around the country it is significant? The only thing is, this | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
is the smallest amount of action we can take. The NHS is the only | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
employer in England of junior doctors like me. When they say they | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
will impose a contract, we have two stand-up for what we think is fair | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
for the patients. On the last strike date I was covering emergency care, | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
so if you are sick, please still go to A The BMA say if this contract | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
is imposed, junior doctors like yourself, you might look abroad, go | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
into academia, is it something you are worried about when you think | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
about your career ahead? Definitely, when the government announced the | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
strikes, 1000 junior doctors apply for their papers to go and work | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
abroad, so there is an impact on the training of doctors in England. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Sorry to make you squint into the sunshine. But is the picture at | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
Scunthorpe. Doctors across England, junior doctors will be joining | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
picket lines like this one. Let's talk to one of the union negotiators | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
who is also a junior doctor... David Mowat, Conservative MP | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
and father of a junior doctor. The sticking point, is what you are | :10:26. | :10:41. | |
paid on a Saturday, if you get premium rates of pay, why is it a | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
sticking point for you? The important thing to say about this is | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
this current offer actually affects people working the hardest rotor is | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
the most, areas like A, children's doctors, already work 24 hours a | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
day, seven days a week. These are the people this contract change | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
undervalues the most. Why will they be undervalued the most? They are | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
people working the most evenings and weekends. The problem is we already | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
have a huge recruitment crisis in these areas. We have so few doctors, | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
they stay long after their hours to cover the gaps in the rotor. The | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
problem with this contract is not just an hour, but in the future. It | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
stretches the service even thinner and it is not fair for those doctors | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
and it is not safe for the patients who will be affected by that. David, | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
do you accept the point that it is unfair on particular specialities on | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
a Saturday? What the government is trying to do is have a seven-day | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
NHS, it was in the manifesto and it is a reasonable objective. Whether | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
the doctor is right in saying the service is extremely stretched at | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
the moment, frankly we are understaffed as a country and we | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
need more doctors. But everybody has to agree it isn't right, if there is | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
different outcomes on Saturday and Sunday. The way the contract works | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
at the moment, it descends into visors hospitals to actually roster | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
people on those days because they have to pay them more. That is the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
thrust of what the government is trying to do. There is no detriment | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
to the overall pay bill, it is cashing neutral. But some of the | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
effects the BMA doctor talked about may happen, but it is also right the | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
government tries to achieve what it is trying to achieve. This strike is | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
bad for the doctors, bad for the government and it is bad for the | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
patients. The first thing I want to say to respond to that is, this | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
absolutely is going to impact the service. Actually, what we're | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
looking at already, a survey that was produced this morning that was | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
released to the media that shows over 80% of doctors are thinking of | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
leaving the profession because of these changes. We need to find a | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
better solution for the patients and doctors are committed to that. I | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
have spent the last decade of my life training to be a doctor to | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
provide better care. What this contract offers is not better, we | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
have tried to find a better solution, we have offered the | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
government pay package which is within the budget and allows us not | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
to undervalue those people. To allow the delivery of this seven-day | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
service by maintaining the service we want to provide for those areas | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
already undervalued. But the government is more interested in | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
winning this political argument and finding a real solution for people. | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
I don't think all sections of the population the government wants to | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
have an industrial dispute with its junior doctors. They are intrinsic | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
to all we do. There is nothing in it for the government to have an | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
argument with junior doctors, but we are trying to do the right thing for | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
the patients. My understanding on the negotiations is a lot of | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
progress was made, one point is outstanding. I know an offer was | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
made recently, apparently not good enough, but we are very close. I | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
think this strike is regrettable, it is bad for the government, it is bad | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
but the doctors and it is bad for the patients. Before we bring in a | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
former Acas negotiator, an e-mail from Charles says I don't understand | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
this issue of paying doctors extra of a weekend. So many industries | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
work shift systems and overtime is irrelevant these days? I understand | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
where they are coming from, but it is important with the future of our | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
health service, we need a way to recruit enough junior doctors to | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
provide the service. You could accept the pay rise of 11% and treat | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
Saturday as a normal working day? What they are doing with this change | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
is offering a 40% pay cut to those doctors that work anti-social hours. | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
They said they would protect your salary for the first three years? | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
What of the future? What of the junior doctors coming into this | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
profession he will be accepted. Are you not concerned that in three | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
years, four years, there will be a massive shortage of junior doctors | :15:49. | :15:49. | |
in England? I am concerned. We have a shortage | :15:50. | :16:00. | |
of doctors in our country compared with France and Germany. The | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
government is trying very hard to get more doctors trained and part of | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
that will be retention. The government has to do the right thing | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
by patients as well. The point that the e-mail made, is that many | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
professions treat Saturdays and Sundays as any other day, such as | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
airline pilots, that is an example. It is rostered in a way that it does | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
not make a difference to their salaries and it is right to do the | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
same for doctors but pay them more at the same time. To talk about | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
people talking about a 40% paid the crease is misleading, I do not think | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
that is right. This is cash neutral. You can come back on that in a | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
second. Let me bring in Peter Harwood, a former negotiator at | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
ACAS. You have heard the positions at this point. What would you do | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
next, as a former negotiator for ACAS? Conciliator, not negotiator. | :17:01. | :17:10. | |
The parties do the negotiating, we try and conciliate between them. | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
Basically, the third party tries to change the mood. Obviously, people | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
are in positions and they are quite determined to change their | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
positions. What we try and get them to do, successfully in this case, a | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
lot of issues have been resolved, is getting people to think through | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
where they are, but more importantly, thinking through the | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
implications of where they are going next. Strike action is always | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
something which parties want to avoid. Imposing a contract is | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
something parties want to avoid. They basically want to get an | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
agreement and that is something we will try and do, go between the | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
parties to try and facilitate that. How do you change the mood? The | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
problem is one of funding. It is a matter of trying to get the parties | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
to see the funding problem and how that can be resolved. Already, you | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
have heard that the BMA have said they have got some proposals to try | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
and meet the needs of the employers. The employers will have their | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
position, they say it is cost neutral, and it is to try and unpick | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
that and find a way through to get some common ground. Let me read a | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
couple more messages. Sally on Twitter says junior doctors walking | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
out, this is shameful, selfish and wrong. Mr K on Twitter says, it is | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
not complicated. The same number of doctors spread over a longer period, | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
it just does not add up. And Stewart says these junior doctors should be | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
grateful of what they have come in, not many have the prospect of | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
?70,000 wages in their lives. The first thing I want to say is I | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
appreciate the comments that have been made. I understand that people | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
have strong feelings about this issue. As you know, we have made an | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
offer that is pay neutral, as we have said, to | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
try and recruitment problems we have. The other thing that is | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
important is, this does not come down to pay. Doctors have taken an | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
under inflation pay cut and you have not seen them on picket lines until | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
now. We are worried this contract is dangerous, dangerous for patients, | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
dangerous for doctors and for the future of the service. We want to | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
provide better care. We are standing outside our hospitals which is not | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
where we are meant to be, we are meant to be inside, which is where | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
we want to be. We have tried to negotiate, we have tried to make | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
offers which are in the budget to try and address these problems, but | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
they are just not interested in the solutions we have, because what they | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
want is to win this political argument. Let me read a couple more | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
messages. Leslie says you cannot compare junior doctors' pay with | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
teachers which is something we did and our report. Taking | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
responsibility for people's lives as a whole different ball game. Police | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
officers have unsocial hours without the same academic provocations and | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
length of training. Helen says the BMA will never concede we could | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
working for regular pay. Jeremy Hunt should enforce the new contract and | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
make the NHS 24/7. And John says why did the doctor 's own up, there is | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
no amorality to this strike. It is all about money. | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
That is the view from quite a lot of people watching this morning. Thank | :20:34. | :20:34. | |
you for coming on. Still to come: We look at how | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders' win in the New Hampshire primaries | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
could change the outcome Corruption in Tennis: Two umpires | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
are banned and four are under investigation after a British | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
newspaper uncovers the scandal. We'll explain what this means | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
for the sport. First, it's the main | :20:51. | :21:02. | |
news this morning. Junior doctors in England have begun | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
a second 24-hour strike The walkout got underway at eight | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
o'clock this morning. Nearly 3,000 operations have been | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
cancelled Only emergency care | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
will be carried out. The family of the murdered | :21:12. | :21:25. | |
schoolgirl Milly Dowler have spoken of the pain they have been through | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
since the killer Levi Belfield finally gave details of his crimes. | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
The statement said, now we know the final hours of Millie's life, | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
perhaps her soul can finally rest in peace. The 13-year-old was killed in | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
2002 in Walton in Surrey. Donald Trump has scored a major | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
victory in his bid to become the next US President after winning | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
the backing of Republicans The Democrats' Presidential | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
candidate, Bernie Sanders managed to easily beat Hillary | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
Clinton. We are going to make | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
America so great again, Now it is on to Nevada, | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
South Carolina and beyond. Investigators in southern Germany | :22:02. | :22:15. | |
are trying to establish what caused a head-on crash between two | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
commuter trains on Tuesday, The black box recorders from both | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
trains are being examined. German media are reporting that | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
human error is considered the most likely cause of the | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
accident. Teacher shortages in England | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
are growing after recruitment targets were missed | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
for the fourth year running. The National Audit office says more | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
and more secondary school pupils are being taught by teachers | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
who don't have a degree Two international tennis umpires | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
have been secretly banned, one of them for life, | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
for corrupt activities last year. An investigation by The Guardian | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
newspaper also reveals that another four officials have been suspended | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
whilst they're investigated. The bans centre on a scam | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
in which umpires deliberately delay posting live scores after each point | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
- allowing gamblers to place bets Let's catch up with all | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
the sport now and join Ore - and the row over increasing ticket | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
prices for Premier League matches More fans are rising up, it would | :23:17. | :23:30. | |
seem? No doubt they have got a reason to. I'm sure a lot of fans | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
would describe prices in football right now as scandalous. The highest | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
priced season ticket in the Premier League at Arsenal is over ?2000 for | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
the season. The average cheapest match day ticket is around ?31, that | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
is 20 more pounds than in Germany. The average season ticket is ?489, | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
way more than the ?74 you can pay for the cheapest season ticket in | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
Spain. There is a lot of uproar about the tickets. 11,000 people | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
walked out at Anfield after 77 minutes on Saturday, the strongest | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
signal so far that fans are fed up about the ticket price is right now. | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
We will hear from some of those fans later on in the programme. We will | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
also talk about unhappy Liverpool fans. They were knocked out of the | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
FA Cup against West Ham in the dying seconds of their match in the fourth | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
round replay. We will also talk about England cricket because their | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
one-day series against South Africa is still very much alive. Make sure | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
you join us around ten o'clock for that. Thank you. | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
In America, two men who were considered | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
have taken a fairly significant step in the race | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
The billionaire Apprentice star Donald Trump has beaten his rivals | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
in the state of New Hampshire to get the backing of voters there | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
for him to stand as the Republican candidate. | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
And for the Democrats the left-wing Bernie Sanders has easily beaten | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
It's worth pointing out that if you thought the last | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
general election in Britain dragged on for ages - | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
At the moment they're trying to work out which candidate will stand | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
for each party - before the actual Presidential election. | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
Each American state gets to vote for who they think should be | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
the party's official candidate in a process known | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
It looks like Donald Trump - who's pledged to deport millions | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
of migrants who are living in the US illegally, | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
build a wall along the border with Mexico, and impose | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
a temporary ban on all Muslims entering the country - | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
will get more than twice the number of votes in New Hampshire | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
than the second place Republican candidate. | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
We are going to make our country so strong. | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
We are going to start winning again. | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
we don't win with the military, we can't beat Isis. | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
And we are going to win so much, you are going to be so happy. | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
We are going to make America so great again, | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
I love you all, thank you, New Hampshire. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
we are going to win in South Carolina. | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
For the Democrats it was a similar story. | :26:25. | :26:34. | |
Senator Bernie Sanders - who is pledging to eradicate income | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
inequality, provide free university education and break up big banks - | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
beat his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by a huge margin. | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
He said his victory showed people wanted "real change". | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
and this is the promise we must keep alive for future generations. | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
what voters here in New Hampshire confirmed tonight, | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
is nothing short of the beginning of a political revolution. | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
that will bring tens of millions of our people together. | :27:09. | :27:33. | |
It will bring together working people | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
who have given up on the political process. | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
It will bring together young people | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
who have never participated in the political process. | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
His Democratic rival Hillary Clinton says she'll continue to fight | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
I know I have some work to do, particularly with young people, | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
but I will repeat again what I've said this week. | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
Even if they are not supporting me now, | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
I support them, because I know... | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
but I also know what it's like to stumble and fall, | :28:09. | :28:18. | |
and so many people across America know that feeling. | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
And we've learned it's not whether you get knocked down that matters, | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
This is all part of the long process as the political parties pick | :28:26. | :28:35. | |
a candidate to stand in the actual election. | :28:36. | :28:37. | |
It will be that nominee who will eventually run | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
for president with Americans voting in November. | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
It's a complex process which started in Iowa a few weeks ago - | :28:44. | :28:46. | |
I accept your nomination for President of the United States. | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
I accept your nomination for President of the United States! | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
Winning the nomination is a landmark moment in the race | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
for any presidential candidate, but hold on a minute. | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
You only get the nomination by getting the support of delegates. | :29:06. | :29:08. | |
important people who get to decide things at the convention. | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
The number of delegates in each state is based largely on its size, | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
so win the state and you win more delegates. | :29:19. | :29:21. | |
The candidate who gets the majority of these delegates | :29:22. | :29:23. | |
that vote early in the primary process. | :29:24. | :29:31. | |
Political buffs call it controlling the calendar. | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
The first two states to vote are Iowa and New Hampshire. | :29:35. | :29:36. | |
Honestly, they don't really matter in and of themselves - | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
and they certainly don't represent America's diverse population. | :29:40. | :29:45. | |
But a good showing in Iowa and New Hampshire | :29:46. | :29:47. | |
creates a sense of momentum, and with that comes exposure. | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
Win Iowa, and suddenly you'll be all over television. | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
Getting the early states is sure to open the pockets of donors. | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
And don't discount that intangible aura of success - | :30:02. | :30:04. | |
We are going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington... | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
who've taken that whole success thing just a little too far. | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
But if the candidate manages to keep their head while others | :30:15. | :30:21. | |
are losing theirs, they make it to March, where the stakes | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
and states and number of precious delegates gets bigger. | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
This is where long-term strategy is crucial. | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
A candidate can't be everywhere at once, | :30:32. | :30:34. | |
and with a lot of states voting on the same day, | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
how does a candidate decide where to focus their efforts? | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
Texas and Vermont both vote on March the 5th. | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
On March 15th, Florida, Ohio and Illinois go to the polls. | :30:47. | :30:58. | |
Analysts say that if we don't have a clear winner by then, | :30:59. | :31:01. | |
this could be the decisive day for both parties. | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
And after that, well, the process starts all over again. | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
to get you enough votes to get you into the White House. | :31:10. | :31:15. | |
Running for President of the United States | :31:16. | :31:17. | |
is the biggest endurance test in the world. | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
Coming up: Corruption in Tennis as two umpires are banned | :31:21. | :31:44. | |
for 'courtsiding' - but what does it involve and how has | :31:45. | :31:46. | |
A new taskforce is being launched by the Home Office today | :31:47. | :31:53. | |
The body which will include representatives from banks | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
and the police plus the government, will try and work together to make | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
sure there's a more concerted effort to crack down on fraud. | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
They are promising to "help protect the public from becoming victims | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
of fraud, do everything in their power to stop fraudsters | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
from operating and catch the criminals behind the crime". | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
It comes on the day it's revealed that the number of bogus current | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
account applications has more than doubled over the last year - | :32:17. | :32:18. | |
according to a credit reference company. | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
Let's speak to Alex Grant, who's the boss of fraud prevention | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
Thanks for talking to us. Surely you do everything you can to tackle | :32:25. | :32:38. | |
fraud? My role is to manage fraud prevention which is protect in | :32:39. | :32:44. | |
customers, making sure their cash is safe. To do that, we spend heavily | :32:45. | :32:51. | |
on systems. Last night we launched a new analytic system which cost | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
Barclays Bank ?15 million. But it will help us manage the 2.5 billion | :32:55. | :33:00. | |
card transactions are customers do every year. Is this launching of a | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
new task force, all the major banks are involved in, is it an admission, | :33:07. | :33:12. | |
if you like, that actually, there is stuff you can improve on when it | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
comes to protect in customers from fraud? I also chaired Financial | :33:16. | :33:22. | |
Fraud Action where the banks get together and we share data, share | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
frauds and losses and we help each other understand what is going on | :33:29. | :33:35. | |
and that helps us help customers. My feeling is the task force is the | :33:36. | :33:40. | |
next push, we need to get more joined up, more connected and the | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
work strands coming out of the task force will have representatives from | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
government, Home Office, police and banks all working together on the | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
same agenda. I think that will take us forward. What are the things you | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
are worried about when it comes to fraud? I mentioned this credit | :33:58. | :34:03. | |
reference company has said the amount of fraud on current account | :34:04. | :34:13. | |
applications has doubled, they can make bogus loan and credit card | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
applications? In Barclays Bank, one fraud is one too many. Our corporate | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
clients could be attacked by bogus e-mails and malware. Retail clients | :34:25. | :34:29. | |
by the kind of activities you have just outlined. The job within fraud | :34:30. | :34:35. | |
prevention is to manage a strategy that manages these different types | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
of attack. This is just one tool I have just mentioned, we invest | :34:41. | :34:43. | |
millions of pounds every year to help manage different fraud attacks | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
that we see. You make it sound you are a crass -- across all the cases | :34:49. | :34:56. | |
of fraud, but you are not because we hear of customers being defrauded. | :34:57. | :35:02. | |
Are ahead of the fraudsters? I wouldn't say we are ahead of the | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
fraudsters, they are able to invest heavily in the process themselves. | :35:08. | :35:10. | |
But to give you some data points, eight out of ten of the online fraud | :35:11. | :35:18. | |
BC, amounting to a year are prevented by the banks and the | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
systems and tools. Our customers have a part to play, they have to be | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
careful how they share their data, have to be careful if they answer | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
the phone and someone says, please transfer money. Banks would never do | :35:31. | :35:37. | |
this. We invest in systems, the combination with those two and | :35:38. | :35:39. | |
working closer with the government and the police to go and arrest some | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
of these people, which I don't think we do enough of, makes a difference. | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
Thanks, Alex. The boss of fraud prevention at Barclays Bank. | :35:51. | :35:53. | |
A couple of more comments on junior doctors, striking for the second | :35:54. | :36:01. | |
time. Allison says, I support them, they are trying desperately to | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
protect the NHS from the government hell bent on destruction. Amelia | :36:07. | :36:11. | |
says I am a medical student who will be one of the first to potentially | :36:12. | :36:14. | |
signed this new contract which is unsafe for the patients and not fair | :36:15. | :36:21. | |
on the doctors. I only have to work a lot of hours to make ends meet. | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
These conditions will be so dreadful, it will make me want to | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
leave the profession. Who is to blame? Jeremy Hunt. Every doctor and | :36:31. | :36:36. | |
medical student agonises over this, but I suspect Jeremy Hunt couldn't | :36:37. | :36:42. | |
muster up such empathy. This in from Norman Smith from Westminster, | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
government sources, he says, are telling him there is little time | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
left to resolve the dispute. Sources say a deal will have to be done by | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
the middle of February. Well, it is the 14th on Sunday! If the talks are | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
to succeed. Otherwise it is understood the government will move | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
to impose the new contracts on junior doctors, which will take | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
effect from this autumn. We will talk to Norman later in the | :37:11. | :37:11. | |
programme. Two international tennis umpires | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
have been secretly banned, one of them for life, | :37:16. | :37:17. | |
for corrupt activities last year. An investigation by The Guardian | :37:18. | :37:19. | |
newspaper also reveals that another four officials have been suspended | :37:20. | :37:22. | |
whilst they're investigated. The bans centre on a scam | :37:23. | :37:23. | |
in which umpires deliberately delay posting live scores after each | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
point, allowing gamblers to place bets knowing what's | :37:27. | :37:28. | |
going to happen next. Let's talk to the Guardian | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
journalist who broke the story, Sean Ingle, and also a man who's | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
been investigating match fixing for the European Commission, | :37:34. | :37:40. | |
Ben Van Rompuy who's the head of the ASSER | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
International Sports Law Centre. Sean, this is known as courtsiding, | :37:45. | :38:01. | |
I presume because you have to be at the side of the Court to make this | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
happen? Yes, courtsiding has been around for a long time, it is a | :38:06. | :38:11. | |
practice among gamblers who observe live events, they can either bet | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
directly from the court, which is banned now, or they can alert | :38:17. | :38:19. | |
someone who can place a bet quicker than the TV coverage pictures. Now | :38:20. | :38:24. | |
we have the umpires doing it, which is the first we have ever heard. So | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
it is obviously quite serious. How long is the delay before they post | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
the live score and how do they let the gamblers know what happened in | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
the point, so they can place the money on? It should be | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
instantaneous. Basically, all umpires have a tablet. As soon as a | :38:44. | :38:49. | |
point is played, they will put it in and it gets sent round the world. If | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
you are watching a game on a live score feed or if you are a | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
bookmaker, you can see that. They were delaying that for up to a | :38:59. | :39:04. | |
minute. While that was delayed, they would be text in a gambler, telling | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
them this player has just won a point. The gambler had time to put a | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
number of bets on four different bookmakers around the world, knowing | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
they were one or two points ahead of the action. It is so simple isn't | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
it? It is so simple. What do you think of the fact that first, | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
umpires are involved in corruption, not necessarily just players and | :39:28. | :39:30. | |
also the fact the global governing body of tennis kept this quiet? I | :39:31. | :39:37. | |
spoke to a senior figure who was shocked at the news and he said it | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
gets to the heart and soul of the game. We expect sometimes players | :39:42. | :39:46. | |
will cheat and sometimes do things that are wrong. But in our less | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
innocent times, we still think umpires will uphold the game. | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
Secondly, I think it raises questions for the ITF, the governing | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
body of tennis. One of the officials who was banned for a year, he was | :40:02. | :40:06. | |
certified for life in February 2015 for contact ding another official on | :40:07. | :40:11. | |
Facebook to manipulate the score of matches. But that was kept quiet. | :40:12. | :40:17. | |
The ITF will say it is not in the rules to release this, but we change | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
the rules in December. We know sporting bodies have to be as | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
transparent as possible, given the suspicions in all sorts of sports, | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
football and athletics. We have got to us, where they as transparent as | :40:30. | :40:38. | |
they could have been. Let's talk to our other guests, you have been | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
investigating for the European Commission. It is not match fixing, | :40:42. | :40:47. | |
but it is corruption. What do you say to what the Guardian have | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
uncovered? I agree, the most surprising part of this is it has | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
been kept quiet. It is difficult to prove any form of corruption, but | :40:58. | :41:05. | |
when you can impose disciplinary sanctions, you should communicate | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
because it gives the signal, we are taking this serious, there is zero | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
tolerance and we are investigating such practices. I don't understand | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
why they are so secretive about this and it creates the perception, as we | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
have seen from the revelations that were released last month, it gives | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
the perception they are not doing anything. Apparently this isn't | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
true. I cannot comprehend why they do not make this public and actually | :41:32. | :41:37. | |
deter other umpires, in this case, from trying to do the same thing. | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
Because there is a lifetime ban over your head. Sean, do you have a | :41:43. | :41:50. | |
theory? If they reveal what the punishment is that they have carried | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
out on these umpires, it deters others? We have asked why this | :41:54. | :42:03. | |
wasn't released and we haven't had a response. All they came back with | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
was, it wasn't in our rules and we have changed our rules now. In | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
future, any of these cases will be made public. I agree, it is an | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
obvious things to do and it shows they are being transparent as well. | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
So I agree with you. What have you discovered in your own | :42:23. | :42:30. | |
investigations into corruption? With these kind of events with | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
courtsiding, usually for most events, there will be more data | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
scouts present so you can crosscheck information. Courtsiding is not a | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
huge problem any more because betting operators would pre-empt it | :42:44. | :42:49. | |
by delaying accepting the bet by one or two seconds, so the head start | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
you usually had would not give you a great advantage any more. With these | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
tournaments where there is no audience, no media coverage, it is | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
the umpire that is actually giving their statistics. That makes you | :43:02. | :43:07. | |
have only one source of the development of the game. That is of | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
course dangerous. As we have seen in this case, if you are the corrupt | :43:14. | :43:22. | |
source, you get the head start because the delay will be | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
sufficient. It is a problem for betting operators, why are the | :43:27. | :43:28. | |
offering bees kind of games? They want to have an offering 24 hours, | :43:29. | :43:37. | |
but there is so many integrity risks and so easy to manipulate. You | :43:38. | :43:44. | |
almost invite or give it on a golden plate to make corruption possible. | :43:45. | :43:51. | |
There is also something to be said from the betting operators' did, why | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
they are taking these risks offering bets on these games that quite | :43:57. | :43:59. | |
frankly, not a lot of people care about or follow, as this ITF future | :44:00. | :44:06. | |
tournaments. Sean, briefly, the other for officials who have been | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
suspended while they are investigated, what can you tell us | :44:11. | :44:14. | |
about what they are being investigated for? Very little, apart | :44:15. | :44:22. | |
from the fact it is courtsiding and they face life bans. But we don't | :44:23. | :44:25. | |
know any more because the process is under review are the tennis | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
integrity unit. Because that is the case now, it is all very vague until | :44:31. | :44:36. | |
the decision is announced. At least this time it will be public unlike | :44:37. | :44:42. | |
the last couple of decisions. Thank you both. | :44:43. | :44:47. | |
The fallout from the Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders US presidential | :44:48. | :44:58. | |
race. We will get a reaction from an American living in London to Donald | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
Trump's victory in New Hampshire. Let's get the latest | :45:04. | :45:05. | |
weather update with Carol. I am talking today about how cold it | :45:06. | :45:19. | |
will get, our favourite subject. This morning I could see all the | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
stars. It is I see. We have earned area of low pressure coming in. | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
There is the risk of some wintry showers but it is just a risk. Most | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
of it will be rain. Look at what happens as we head into the weekend. | :45:34. | :45:40. | |
No pressure comes across our shores. This becomes slow-moving because it | :45:41. | :45:46. | |
is disengaged from the jet stream. This could produce some snow from | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
parts of Wales down to the Midlands, The Cotswolds, that kind of area. It | :45:51. | :45:55. | |
is a very mobile situation so it could change. The variation in the | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
position will change the impact of the weather. The other thing I want | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
to point out is the wind direction. You can see some wintry showers | :46:07. | :46:09. | |
coming from north-east Scotland and North East England as well. As we | :46:10. | :46:13. | |
move from Saturday into Sunday, this is when it really turns cold. The | :46:14. | :46:19. | |
low pressure starts to pull away. The wind veers north-easterly and | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
then northerly. It is behind this band of rain we could see some snow. | :46:24. | :46:28. | |
We could see some snow anywhere across Scotland, possibly across the | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
north of England, even further south. Cuddle up to your loved one | :46:33. | :46:38. | |
on Valentine's Day because it will be blooming freezing! It is | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
Valentine's Day, I had forgotten about that! You can see by Sunday | :46:42. | :46:48. | |
the milder air is pushed away by this northerly. It is miserable? It | :46:49. | :46:54. | |
is, it will feel cold. It is cold now but it will feel much colder. We | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
will be talking about our central heating. The viewers will look | :47:00. | :47:05. | |
forward to that conversation! What about today? Today is much quieter. | :47:06. | :47:11. | |
This is a beautiful picture sent in from Fort William. You can see the | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
sun is already out. For many of us, we have started the day with some | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
showers. A lot of them coming into Wales, Cheshire and the Midlands. We | :47:21. | :47:27. | |
have had them in Scotland and parts of eastern England. As we go through | :47:28. | :47:30. | |
the morning a lot of those will fade. The big lump of cloud will | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
also start to break up and more sunshine will develop. Some of the | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
showers are wintry in nature. The showers in England are pushing more | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
into the direction of Cornwall. Drying up in Devon and Somerset. It | :47:44. | :47:50. | |
will still feel cold, especially through exposed and blustery wind. | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
Not much wind in Wales. We are looking at dry weather and sunshine. | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
A similar story across Northern Ireland. Showers continuing across | :47:59. | :48:04. | |
Scotland. More so across the Northern Isles. It will feel a bit | :48:05. | :48:13. | |
nippy. For Northern England cold, crisp, winter sunshine. The same for | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
East Anglia and Kent. As we drift across Southern counties you will be | :48:18. | :48:24. | |
very unlucky to catch a shower. Through the evening and overnight, | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
if anything, we have the band of showers in northern Scotland | :48:30. | :48:32. | |
thinking a wee bit further south. That could produce some snow and | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
might affect some of the higher routes. These are the temperatures | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
in the countryside. It will be cold with a widespread frost. There is | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. The other risk we have | :48:48. | :48:49. | |
tonight is of freezing fog patches is. Particular in the south west and | :48:50. | :48:57. | |
south. Tomorrow, again a mostly dry day for the bulk of the British | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
Isles. Yes, there will still be a few showers around in the West and | :49:03. | :49:06. | |
south as well, but a lot of dry weather. Temperatures roughly where | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
we expect them to be at this stage in February. As we move on into | :49:11. | :49:17. | |
Friday, the low pressure is edging in and pushing away. We think it | :49:18. | :49:23. | |
will produce some snow, perhaps on its leading edge, but mostly, it is | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
likely to be rain. Behind it, we are looking at a lot of dry weather. And | :49:28. | :49:34. | |
some easterly wind in the far north-east of Scotland. | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
Hello, it's Wednesday, it's 10 o clock, I'm Victoria | :49:41. | :49:42. | |
Junior doctors are staging a walk-out. This affects people | :49:43. | :49:58. | |
working the hardest areas the most. People in A and children's doctors | :49:59. | :50:02. | |
already working 24-hour is a day seven days a week. It is not right | :50:03. | :50:08. | |
if there are different outcomes on a Saturday and Sunday. And the way the | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
contract works business enterprises people to work on those days because | :50:15. | :50:20. | |
they have to be paid more. We will be talking to a Conservative MP and | :50:21. | :50:23. | |
we will bring together a striking junior doctor and a dad who's son | :50:24. | :50:30. | |
has had his operation cancelled today because of the strike. | :50:31. | :50:32. | |
Also this morning: Donald Trump scores a major victory in his bid | :50:33. | :50:35. | |
to become the next US President after winning the backing | :50:36. | :50:38. | |
of Republicans in New Hampshire - outsider Bernie Sanders easily | :50:39. | :50:40. | |
What voters here confirmed tonight is nothing short of the beginning of | :50:41. | :50:53. | |
a political revolution. We are going to start winning again and we are | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
going to win so much, you are going to be so happy, we are going to make | :50:58. | :51:04. | |
America so great again, maybe greater than before. | :51:05. | :51:08. | |
Also, targets to recruit new teachers have been missed for the | :51:09. | :51:11. | |
fourth year running. We look at what is going wrong. | :51:12. | :51:19. | |
Government sources say if the new contract is not reached with junior | :51:20. | :51:32. | |
doctors then a new contract will be imposed. | :51:33. | :51:34. | |
Junior doctors in England have begun | :51:35. | :51:36. | |
a second 24-hour strike over pay and conditions. | :51:37. | :51:38. | |
The walkout got underway at eight o'clock this morning. | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
Nearly 3000 operations have been cancelled as a result | :51:45. | :51:46. | |
Only emergency care will be carried out. | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
We continue to keep our patients say. That is our primary | :51:51. | :51:56. | |
requirement. We will use all of the clinical care we have will stop. | :51:57. | :52:00. | |
The family of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler have spoken | :52:01. | :52:03. | |
of the "torment and pain" they have been through since her killer | :52:04. | :52:06. | |
Levi Bellfield finally gave police details of his crimes. | :52:07. | :52:12. | |
"perhaps her soul, at long last, can finally | :52:13. | :52:21. | |
The 13-year-old was killed after being abducted on her walk | :52:22. | :52:24. | |
We are joined by our reporter Frankie McCamley. Many people will | :52:25. | :52:34. | |
remember the huge investigation, the disappearance of Milly Dowler. She | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
went missing working home -- walking home from school in 2012. Her | :52:39. | :52:44. | |
remains were found in woods in Hampshire. Levi Belfield was jailed | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
for her murder but he did not admit to it until May last year. When he | :52:49. | :52:54. | |
spoke to officers from Surrey Police, he described how he had | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
abducted her and tortured her and finally murdered her. He also gave | :53:00. | :53:06. | |
information about a suspected accomplice. Police investigated and | :53:07. | :53:13. | |
arrested a 40-year-old man but released him without charge. Today, | :53:14. | :53:18. | |
the family have spoken and said they had to keep silent while the | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
investigation was taking place. They have also said there are no words to | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
describe the additional torment and pain they were going through since | :53:28. | :53:31. | |
they were given the information about the last few hours of their | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
daughter's death. They said this pressure has put the family, it has | :53:36. | :53:42. | |
been unimaginable and they have had to fight every step of the way to | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
get this far. Now they say they know the final hours of Milly's life and | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
they say they hope she can finally rest in peace today. Thank you. | :53:53. | :53:55. | |
Donald Trump has scored a major victory in his bid to become | :53:56. | :53:58. | |
the next US President after winning the backing of Republicans | :53:59. | :54:00. | |
The Democrat Bernie Sanders who was the outsider, | :54:01. | :54:07. | |
managed to beat his main rival Hillary Clinton by more | :54:08. | :54:10. | |
Investigators in southern Germany are trying to establish what caused | :54:11. | :54:35. | |
a head-on crash between two commuter trains on Tuesday, | :54:36. | :54:37. | |
The black box recorders from both trains are being examined. | :54:38. | :54:40. | |
German media are reporting that human error is considered | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
the most likely cause of the accident. | :54:44. | :54:44. | |
Teacher shortages in England are growing after recruitment | :54:45. | :54:46. | |
targets were missed for the fourth year running. | :54:47. | :54:48. | |
The National Audit office says more and more secondary school pupils | :54:49. | :54:51. | |
are being taught by teachers who don't have a degree | :54:52. | :54:53. | |
Two international tennis umpires have been secretly banned, | :54:54. | :54:58. | |
one of them for life, for corrupt activities last year. | :54:59. | :55:01. | |
An investigation by The Guardian newspaper also reveals that another | :55:02. | :55:04. | |
four officials have been suspended whilst they're investigated. | :55:05. | :55:07. | |
The bans centre on a scam in which umpires deliberately delay | :55:08. | :55:10. | |
posting live scores after each point - allowing gamblers to place bets | :55:11. | :55:14. | |
Let's catch up with all the sport now and join Ore, who has the latest | :55:15. | :55:26. | |
on the row over ticket prices at Premier League matches. | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
That is right. They are going the wrong way, if you ask fans and | :55:31. | :55:37. | |
supporters groups today, there is no need for Premier League clubs to | :55:38. | :55:42. | |
charge such high prices. 10,000 Liverpool supporters staged a | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
walk-out at Anfield on Saturday over the increased cost of ticket prices. | :55:47. | :55:56. | |
The fans say there is no excuse. Football clubs are making more money | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
than ever before. The new TV deals, Liverpool will make an excess of | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
hundred million. Liverpool football club decided to make more money than | :56:08. | :56:12. | |
ever before from supporters. If I tell you that under the next media | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
deal, that every Premier League club could afford to let every fan in | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
free to every game and still have as much money as they have now, that | :56:21. | :56:25. | |
shows you the eye watering scale of it. This is not just a Liverpool | :56:26. | :56:30. | |
football club issue, there are fans around the country home and away who | :56:31. | :56:36. | |
are getting priced out and finding it increasingly unaffordable. We | :56:37. | :56:39. | |
will be talking to supporters about action they may take. I think it is | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
important at this moment in time for us to keep this pressure on clubs. | :56:45. | :56:50. | |
They are not happy and they have a reason. The cheapest average Premier | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
League ticket costs around ?30 while so much tickets in Germany's | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
Bundesliga can be bought for around ?9. Having said that, fans at | :57:00. | :57:06. | |
Borussia Dortmund protested at high prices by arriving late and then | :57:07. | :57:11. | |
doing that, showering tennis balls onto the pitch. Away tickets for the | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
match were around ?55 and that seems to be a universal issue. Football | :57:17. | :57:23. | |
fans not happy. And there were more unhappy | :57:24. | :57:26. | |
Liverpool fans at Upton Park last night after the dramatic FA Cup win | :57:27. | :57:33. | |
which the West Ham manager believes will go down in the history of the | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
club. Seemingly seconds away from a penalty shoot out. Angela oh | :57:39. | :57:49. | |
Ogbonna's header in the dying minutes of the game. This will go | :57:50. | :57:58. | |
into the history of the game definitely. It is the last season in | :57:59. | :58:03. | |
our stadium and we play Liverpool of course, and it is 120 minutes, and | :58:04. | :58:09. | |
we scored in the last minute of the game. And the man who coached | :58:10. | :58:13. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill to world and Olympic titles wants the GB | :58:14. | :58:17. | |
preparation camp for the Rio games to be moved outside of Brazil | :58:18. | :58:23. | |
because of the Zika virus. He says he has a duty of care and will not | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
be putting any pressure on her to compete. The camp is meant to be in | :58:28. | :58:36. | |
the low horizontally. Some advice has avoided -- suggested women | :58:37. | :58:44. | |
should avoid getting pregnant until 2018. At ten 30, join us for more | :58:45. | :58:59. | |
information about the cricket. Yesterday, I agreed that my two boys | :59:00. | :59:03. | |
on a school night could go and see West Ham and Liverpool, did I do the | :59:04. | :59:10. | |
right thing? They are only 12 and nine. For me as a football fan, it | :59:11. | :59:14. | |
depends which side they are supporting. They are West Ham | :59:15. | :59:21. | |
season-ticket holders. You made the right call. I have not seen them | :59:22. | :59:25. | |
this morning but I am sure they are very happy but will be very tired | :59:26. | :59:27. | |
later on. Thank you. Good morning, welcome | :59:28. | :59:29. | |
to the programme, we're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel | :59:30. | :59:33. | |
until 11 this morning. You've been getting in touch this | :59:34. | :59:38. | |
morning on the doctors strike - and as we've been hearing the main | :59:39. | :59:41. | |
sticking point seems This text says, I am a ward sister. | :59:42. | :59:51. | |
Junior doctors start at 7:30am and will not finish until midnight and | :59:52. | :59:55. | |
that is not right. Louise on Twitter says I am finding it difficult to | :59:56. | :00:01. | |
feel sorry for junior doctors, normal people work shifts, there is | :00:02. | :00:04. | |
no such thing as a normal working week any more. Do keep those coming | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
in. We want to hear your views, particularly if you are affected by | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
the strike. Texts will be charged | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
at the standard network rate. Wherever you are you can | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
watch our programme online - via the BBC News app | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
or our website bbc.co.uk/victoria. Around 3,000 operations have been | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
postponed because of today's junior doctors' strike, according | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
to estimates released This second 24-hour walk-out | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
at hospitals in England is over pay and working hours - | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
but emergency care will be provided. NHS England says all hospitals have | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
plans in place to deal with the disruption and emergency | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
care will still be provided. But more than 2,800 non-emergency | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
operations have been cancelled and many non-urgent | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
appointments will also be postponed. Scotland, Wales and Northern | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Ireland are not affected. Our reporter Jim Reed | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
has been looking at why The priority at the moment | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
is the thousands of people that we think die unnecessarily | :00:50. | :01:06. | |
because we don't have proper cover for urgent and | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
emergency care on weekends. They are trying to cut our pay | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
when we are already, you know, overworked, | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
underpaid, demoralised, and this is why people | :01:23. | :01:23. | |
are going forward. and this is why people | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
are going abroad. There are 55,000 junior doctors | :01:32. | :01:32. | |
in England. These are not just students | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
leaving medical school, but anyone below consultant | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
or full GP level. That can mean someone | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
with years of experience They are the person | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
that you will see clerking you in | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
when you go into A, they are the person | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
you might see in your GP practice. Often they'll be | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
the person that comes round on the ward | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
round and sees you. They are often also the people that | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
will be doing surgery in theatre, they'll be assisting the consultant | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
when they do operations. The starting salary is just under | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
23,000, but add in over time and unsocial hours, and average pay | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
in the first two years is 36,000. Those in higher training | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
can earn 53,000, rising to 70,000 | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
for the most experienced. How does that compare | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
with other jobs? Well, it's hard to measure | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
and depends on where you live. But take average pay for a junior | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
doctor in those first two years. It is more than a teacher | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
or a police officer, but about the same as the starting | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
salary for a banker One big part of this | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
is hours worked. The Government wants to raise | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
basic wages but change the way it pays | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
for extra unsocial hours. At the moment, regular hours are set | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
at seven to seven Monday to Friday, The Government wants to extend | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
those core hours to 10pm in the week and into Saturday | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
for the first time. This contract doesn't seem to value | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
the hard work of junior doctors, and the trouble with that is | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
that the doctors that are working the ones that are working | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
some of the hardest rotas, working through the night, | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
through the weekend et cetera, these are the people that really | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
lose out with this contract. They are the people | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
that this affects most. In the last election, | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
the Conservatives promised But illness doesn't | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
respect working hours. Heart attacks, major accidents, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
babies, these things don't just | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
come from nine to five. that it's more dangerous to get | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
sick at the weekend. A recent study found the odds | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
of dying in hospital are 10% higher on Saturday | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
or Sunday. But doctors say these changes | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
will strip back the safeguards meant to stop | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
them working excessive hours and Junior doctors in England only | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
are on strike until 8am Thursday morning, but this | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
will not affect emergency roles, so A and maternity | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
should run as usual. In a moment we'll be live on a | :04:05. | :04:26. | |
picket line, but first to Norman Smith in Westminster. I get the | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
definite sense the government view is last chance saloon land now. They | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
are saying if the deal is undone by the middle of February, the | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
contracts will just have to be imposed. We are February the 10th at | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
the moment, so you are talking days, maybe a week, maybe a fortnight. But | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
we are reaching the end in this dispute. The government is macro | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
view, why? They need the time to make the administrative personnel | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
and bureaucratic change is good to go in August. That would have to | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
begin by the middle of February. They are saying we are out of time | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
here. If it is not going to be solved, we will just impose it. The | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
government are saying this has now come down to one issue, everything | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
has been sold accepted the issue of Saturdays. And why it is so hard to | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
resolve the issue of Saturdays. It is an issue of sensible for both | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
sides. Mr Hunter's people are saying he is not willing to budge on | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
Saturday, he thinks Saturday should be part of a junior doctors normal | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
working week, because it is part of moving to a seven-day NHS and he | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
will not move on that, that is his bottom line. The junior doctors have | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
to say, there has to be some recognition that Saturdays are | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
different. They are not looking for the full premium rate on Saturdays, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
but they want some additional pay will stop Jeremy Hunt says I have my | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
manifesto, my Conservative manifesto commitments as my mandate. The | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
junior doctors so we have 98% of our members as our mandate. When you put | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
that together, both sides are stuck on principle and stuck on their | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
mandates. With time pressing, it is hard to see how this will be | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
resolved or whether either side will be blinking. Let's go to our picket | :06:33. | :06:44. | |
line. Here at Milton Keynes it looks like business as usual from where I | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
am standing. But I'm told 70 out patients clinic appointments and 18 | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
clinical procedures have been postponed. I spoke to the chief | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
executive here. He said there is disruption, but less than last time. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
We will continue to keep our patients safe. It is our primary, | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
absolute primary requirement. We will ensure that we use all of the | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
clinical professionals we have to look after the patients. In terms of | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
where the contract is going, we continue to hope there will be a | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
national settlement that will allow our juniors to come back to work, | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
not have any more strikes and we can go on from there. Well, the junior | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
doctors here are picketing around the corner, ten to 12 of them and | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
they are clear, they will not back down until there is a contract they | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
feel is safe and fair. It is very hard to know where this is going to | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
go. The government is suggesting they need to sort this out soon, | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
there needs to be a contract in place ready to go in August with a | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
new set of doctors coming in. The junior doctors right now say it can | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
go ahead. It is hard to know if there will be more strikes. Some | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
juniors have said they will walk out of England, go and work elsewhere, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
where they say are better working conditions. Thank you very much. | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
So how is today's strike action affecting patients? | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
John Fitzgerald's 15-year-old son James, has had his dental surgery | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
cancelled because of the strike, he's in Southampton. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
And here in the studio we have Dr Roshana Mehdian a junior doctor | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, who is on strike. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Welcome both of you. John Fitzgerald, tell the doctor about | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
the operation your son was supposed to have today? He was expecting a | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
routine surgical operation on his two front teeth. It is an operation | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
that should have taken place last autumn. He was initially put for a | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
referral in the summer 2014. So he has been waiting a long time for | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
this operation. When you found out it was to be cancelled because of | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
the strike, how did you react, how did he react? It has had an impact | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
on him. Clearly, there is some uncertainty after what will happen | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
when he has the operation. My concern primarily has been that we | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
haven't been able to find out from the hospital, how much longer we are | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
going to have to wait. They have told us with the backlog from | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
previous strikes and current circumstances at the hospital, they | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
are not in a position to rearrange the surgery. What do you think of | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
the strike action? I personally think it sets a very dangerous | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
precedent. I think the doctors are being short-sighted. They seem to be | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
placing themselves as more value than... Than the patients. What do | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
you say to John? The first thing I want to say is no doctor, including | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
myself and my colleagues, take strike action lightly. It is | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
unprecedented, in 40 years there hasn't been a strike like it. Apart | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
from the one in January, this is the second time now. Of course, but | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
strikes like this haven't occurred for 40 years. You can see the | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
strength of feeling in junior doctors. The first thing I would | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
like to say to you Mr Fitzgerald, I am sorry. I am sorry on behalf of | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
myself and on behalf of the junior doc is you are striking today. We | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
would much rather be at work. The reason we are doing this is because | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
we can see in the future, a real danger to our patients. It is | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
incredibly dangerous to bring this contract in for numerous reasons, | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
but one of a main reasons is we are seeing some of the lowest staffing | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
levels of doctors for many decades. And when there are so few doctors | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
and they are so overstretched, we cannot afford a contract that will | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
lead to a further exodus of doctors. It is a long-term issue, we cannot | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
afford it to happen and we will safeguard against it for the | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
patients. Clearly, there is a stalemate. But I think the issue is | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
that it is wrong to affect the patients. That is where the | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
situation is going very much wrong. It is really regrettable, and we | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
apologise for any difficulty it has caused our patients. The Jeremy Hunt | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
had a very clear opportunity to end this in January. He had a contract | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
on the table agreed by all sides, which he personally vetoed. He could | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
have ended this then, we don't want to be here, but he has back doors | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
into a corner. Mr Fitzgerald, who do you hold responsible for the strike, | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
the doctors or Jeremy Hunt? It is difficult for the man in the street | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
to understand the rights and wrongs of this. I do believe that Jeremy | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
Hunt has the right aspirations. However, I am not close enough to | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
know the real concerns of the doctors. But, whoever is right, I | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
think this should be managed away from the coal face and not affecting | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
people who need the medical service. I would actually agree, the | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
aspirations to improve care are the right aspirations. They are the | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
aspirations doctors hold and have always held. That is why health care | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
has improved the decades, we have put a lot of work into that. Our | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
concern is, the contract Jeremy Hunt is proposing, his proposals have | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
been done in the wrong way, I am afraid. 98% of junior doctors, the | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
Scottish and wealth governments, patient associations and all the | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
other health care associations have said this is not the right way to go | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
about it. It needs to be done differently. That is what we're | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
asking, for him to work with us, against us. We are hearing from | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
Norman Smith, sources close to Jeremy Hunt, this morning, time is | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
running out, you have a few days to sort this out, possibly a week at | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
the most. If there is no resolution, he will impose these contracts are | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
new idea or two? If he imposes this contract, he personally will be | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
responsible for one of the most dangerous things that has ever | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
happened in the National Health Service. Some people don't | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
understand why you are saying it is dangerous? They understand the issue | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
at Saturday, whether it is treated as a normal day whether you get the | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
premium paid, how does that equal danger? I would like to explain | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
that. At the moment, and actually I think it was one of the headlines in | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
the newspapers today, there is an exodus of junior doctors, it has | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
been going on for years. The problem we have at the moment, doctors, | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
after a few years are working in the National Health Service and many of | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
them leave. It is up to 50% at the moment. If you have an exodus of | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
junior doctors and you cannot safely stuff the rotors, I deal with it | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
daily in my job, I am often having to deal with understaffed rosters. | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
It is a direct danger to my patients. If more people leave and a | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
survey came out today, 80% of junior doctors will consider resignation if | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
this contract comes in. If more people leave and are stretched more | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
thinly over a seven-day service, that doesn't need as many doc is at | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
the weekend, that is stretching doctors and it is going to affect | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
patient safety like many other factors. Are you saying it is | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
nothing to do with the money when it comes to a Saturday? Hand on heart, | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
it is not about the overtime payments you currently receive the | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
working Saturdays? It is multifactorial. Leading into the | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
discussion I was having with you about the junior doctors and the | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
value they should have, the work, life balance they should be | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
afforded. Ultimately, it is a stressful job and we need to be able | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
to have the downtime to be able to do our work correctly. If you need | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
more doctors at the weekend and more services, you have to fund it. You | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
cannot stretch doctors more, the same amount of doctors, stretched | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
further will be dangerous. Let me read some comments. Jeannette | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
on e-mail serves the public should join our doctors to fight all stop | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
we have one of the best medical services in the world. Val says a | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
couple of years ago we had a junior doctor lodging in my attic room. She | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
used to crawl up the stairs with rests every now and then. John has | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
text that is a junior doctors griping about their working hours | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
and pay, that is cute, soldiers on the front line get a pittance in | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
comparison and put their lives on the line, I have no sympathy for | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
them, get over it. This text says I would rather have my doctor not | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
running on empty. I have a long-term health condition. Steve says they | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
expect the peasants to work in food stores for their convenience. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
There is that expectation that you are fighting against what everyone | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
else does in their working life. I am working a 48 hour shift this | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
weekend and I'm working all week and I will work all of next week, so | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
that is a misconception. I work weekends and nights. I have done for | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
many years. Thank you for coming on the programme. Dr Roshana Mehdian | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
and John Fitzgerald, thanks for your time. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
We will look at why people are not attracted to teaching jobs. | :17:30. | :17:43. | |
Government sources say if a deal isn't reached with junior doctors | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
in England by the middle of this month then a new contract | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
A second strike is taking place as part of the dispute | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
Nearly 3000 operations have been cancelled as a result | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
Only emergency care will be carried out. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
We will continue to keep our patients safe here. We are very | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
clear that that is our absolute primary requirement. We will ensure | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
that we use all the clinical professionals we have to look after | :18:14. | :18:14. | |
our patients. The family of the murdered | :18:15. | :18:16. | |

for corrupt activities last year. An investigation by The Guardian | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
newspaper also reveals that another four officials have been suspended | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
whilst they're investigated. The bans centre on a scam | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
in which umpires deliberately delay posting live scores after each point | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
- allowing gamblers to place bets Those are the main news headlines. | :20:05. | :20:29. | |
Now the sport's headlines. We have a few stories in the world | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
of sport. We are talking about ticket prices because supporters | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
groups say there is no need to charge such high prices. 10,000 | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Liverpool fans walked out of Anfield last Saturday at a protest in the | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
potential rise in the cost of tickets, despite Premier League | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
clubs cash windfall of over ?8 billion in TV money over the coming | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
season. The mood did not get much better for | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Liverpool fans last night, their team knocked out of the FA Cup by | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
West Ham. Angelo Ogbonna's dramatic header winning the game in the dying | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
seconds of the game. They will face Blackburn in the last 16. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
Trevor Bayliss has admitted he has never seen Liam Dawson play after he | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
was named in the squad for next month's world T20 in India. There is | :21:17. | :21:26. | |
-- he has also revealed a recall for Kevin Pietersen was never discussed. | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach has said he will not put any pressure on her | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
to compete in Rio if she is concerned about the Zika virus. He | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
has called for the Team GB preparation camp to be moved out of | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
Brazil. That is all the sport, now back to | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
the news. Thank you. | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
Relatives of three victims of the Birmingham pub bombings | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
will ask a coroner later today to resume an inquest | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
into their deaths - more than 40 years after | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
21 people died and 182 were hurt in the blasts which were thought | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
to have been carried out by Irish republicans. | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
An inquest was opened days after the attack but closed | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
because of a criminal investigation, which led to the convictions | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
They were freed 16 years later when an appeal court | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
Our correspondent Phil Mackie is in Solihull where the hearing | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
I think it is worth first of all just reminding our audience, because | :22:19. | :22:31. | |
some people are young and will not necessarily know the details, what | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
happened after eight o'clock that evening on the 21st of November | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
1974? I think even if you were young at the time like I was, you would | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
remember that particular night. It was November 1974, it was a wet | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
night in Birmingham. It was payday and a lot of people had packed two | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
city centre pubs. They were basement pubs so when the dorms went off they | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
created devastation. They were the Tavern in the Town and the Mulberry | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
Bush. Police said there were warnings received but there was not | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
enough time to get people out of the pubs. There was carnage and a lot of | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
damage was caused when the bombs went off. It was always assumed, | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
because it was at the height of the Troubles, this was an atrocity | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
carried out by Irish republicans. The provisional IRA leadership | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
always flatly denied it had anything to do with it. Six men who became | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
known as the Birmingham six were convicted at a criminal trial. Their | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
convictions have since been quashed. West Midlands Police have gone back | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
to the evidence to see if they could bring further prosecutions, first of | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
all after the update -- appeals were upheld in 1991. A couple of years | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
ago there was a two-year enquiry between 2012 and 2014. West Midlands | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
Police said there was not enough evidence for a criminal prosecution. | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
This means this is the last chance relatives will get to hear some of | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
that evidence, submerged since 1974, which could not be heard them. They | :24:04. | :24:14. | |
are asking the coroner to consider reopening the inquest that began 34 | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
years ago. Maxine Hambleton was one of those who died during the pub | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
bombings. Her sister has campaigned for the inquest is to be reopened | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
and she campaigned on the steps today. | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
We have been left in the dark for many, many years and we believe | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
that all the victims' families who have | :24:34. | :24:34. | |
lost loved ones, deserve the right to know the truth. | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
Whilst we understand it's not a mechanism to prosecute, | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
it rather opens the opportunity to look at surrounding circumstances. | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
For instance, why did it happen, when | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
did it happen, what happened afterwards? | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
On the basis of that, we would be able to ask our own | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
questions and our legal team would be able to ask questions | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
we probably haven't even thought of, but would | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
provide us with answers that could bring is a level of peace. | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
I wonder, is there anyone who will oppose the reopening of such | :25:16. | :25:24. | |
inquests? We understand that both the Police Federation and West | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
Midlands Police will do just that. We have not heard their submissions | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
yet so I do not know on what basis they will say it should not be open. | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
The very start, at the preliminary session, Louise Hunt spoke to the | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
lawyer representing West Midlands Police and she asked if there is | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
still a criminal case on going. They said yes, it has never completely | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
closed. What they have said is, it is not alive criminal investigation | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
as people would understand it, they are always looking for new evidence. | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
They say since 2014, they have looked at three significant pieces | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
which they are considering at the moment. Louise Hunt also asked for a | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
list of evidence which has been lost, including a third bomb which | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
did not go off. Ashley Underwood QC began his submissions. He said the | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
Birmingham pub bombings were the most horrific mass murder in living | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
memory. They were followed by the most serious miscarriage of justice | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
in living memory and he told Louise Hunt that there is a compelling case | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
for the resumption because of a substantial amount of new evidence | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
which has come to light since the original criminal investigations. | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
Coroners normally have to simply decide how, when or where someone | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
has died and confirm their identity. We know those facts but they also | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
allowed to investigate the circumstances of the death. That is | :26:49. | :27:03. | |
what has been going on in the Hillsborough inquests. That is what | :27:04. | :27:05. | |
the families hope Louise Hunt will decide should happen here. Thank | :27:06. | :27:06. | |
you. Good morning, if you've just tuned | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
in - still to come before 11.00... Targets to recruit new teachers | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
have been missed for This is just in. In response to the | :27:13. | :27:29. | |
BMA's decision to go ahead with industrial action, it is extremely | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
disappointing. We have listened and worked hard to address the BMA's | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
confirms. We now need to see the will to compromise, with a focus on | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
resolution rather than strike action. Patients should not suffer | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
in a dispute over pay. We will continue to talk with the BMA to | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
agree a contract which is fair and The Republican billionaire, | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
Donald Trump and and the left-wing Democrat, Bernie Sanders have | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
convincingly won the primaries Mr Trump got twice as many votes | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
as his nearest rival, while Mr Sanders beat | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
Hillary Clinton by more Lets take a look at the two men | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
and some of the promises they've been making on their race | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
for the White House. Thank you, New Hampshire. | :28:15. | :28:27. | |
We are going to do something so good and so fast and so strong and the | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
world is going to respect us again. The wealthiest people in the largest | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
corporations in this country will start paying their fair share of | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
taxes. Congratulations to Bernie, in all | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
fairness, we have to congratulate him. We may not like it. We must | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
hold the billionaire class in the 1% that they cannot have it all. | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
He wants to give away our country, folks. We are not going to let it | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
happen. We are going to impose a tax on Wall | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
Street speculation. We are going to rebuild our | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
military. It will be so big, so strong, so powerful. | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
We will make public colleges and universities tuition free. | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
Given the enormous crises facing our country, it is just too late for the | :29:34. | :29:41. | |
same old, same old establishment politics. | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
We have political hacks negotiating our deals for billions and billions | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
and billions of dollars. Not going to happen any more. | :29:49. | :29:57. | |
We are going now to South Carolina. We are going to win in South | :29:58. | :30:00. | |
Carolina! Now it is on to Nevada, South | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
Carolina and beyond! CHEERING | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
Let's talk to Gary O'Donoghue in New Hampshire. 20 percentage points for | :30:11. | :30:23. | |
Donald Trump and a little bit more for Bernie Sanders. The gaps was | :30:24. | :30:30. | |
smaller than that on average. It is a good night, particularly for | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
Donald Trump because he took a beating in Iowa last night. Expected | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
to come first and didn't. He has bounced back, he is the comeback kid | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
in New Hampshire. Ernie Sanders was absolutely no work this time last | :30:45. | :30:51. | |
year. -- nowhere. Dozens and dozens of points behind Hillary Clinton. He | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
has built this grassroots campaign and has amazing support amongst the | :30:56. | :31:03. | |
young. 89% supporting this 80 odd-year-old senator from Vermont. | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
The big dilemma on the Republican side of the established parties, who | :31:09. | :31:17. | |
will they be able to fine to take on Donald Trump? There was nobody in | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
the pack, Jed Bush nor Marco Rubio showing any signs of breaking out | :31:23. | :31:28. | |
and challenging Donald Trump's popularity. Why do the Republicans | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
want to try to find somebody to challenge his popularity? They don't | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
like him and they thing he cannot win in the general election in | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
November. If you look at Donald Trump's numbers in terms of the | :31:42. | :31:45. | |
general population, approval ratings when you ask everyone as opposed to | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
party members, you get 60 odd percent of disapproval ratings and | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
you cannot win the White House with those ratings. Donald Trump will | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
argue he managed to change minds in the Republican party, I will do it | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
to the general electorate. The Republicans don't like him, they | :32:05. | :32:08. | |
don't think they can win with him, they don't like his brand of | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
demagoguery, and they want someone who is more of a mainstream brand. | :32:13. | :32:20. | |
The demographics are against them, the Latina population is growing in | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
the United States, the black population is growing and they are | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
not doing enough to attract those people to the party. Donald Trump | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
comes along, what does he do? He suggests everyone who comes across | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
the board from Mexico might be a drug dealer or a rapist. Gary | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
O'Donoghue, thank you. Let's talk to Professor Sarah | :32:39. | :32:40. | |
Churchwell How do you read this at this stage, | :32:41. | :32:51. | |
because there is a long way to go? Yes, I wouldn't disagree with | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
anything Gary has said. A couple of things for people to bear in mind, | :32:55. | :33:00. | |
New Hampshire is a small state. One of the things worrying the many | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
others, I am not Donald Trump supporter. Are you a Republican? | :33:04. | :33:17. | |
Not, not likely ever. The point is, he has so far done well with less | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
well educated and hasn't done as well with well-educated people. New | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
Hampshire is a well-educated state. One of the indicators from people | :33:26. | :33:30. | |
who don't like Donald Trump find worrying is he is getting better | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
among well-educated people, and that is the shift. Gary use the word | :33:35. | :33:39. | |
demagoguery, and that is the right word. He is a loose cannon, he's not | :33:40. | :33:46. | |
an established figure. The establishment want to anoint Jed | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
Bush, but he is not tracking with the public. Now they have this dark | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
horse, loose Cannon and they don't know what to do with him. They | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
cannot control him and they don't like that. And as Gary said, he is | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
absolutely reviled by a great proportion of the American | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
electorate, so whether he can win the election, he is popular among | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
Republicans, that is a different thing. Why is Bernie Sanders on the | :34:12. | :34:18. | |
left, on the left of the Democrats are well, so popular with young | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
women? For all of Bernie Sanders' and Trump's differences, they are | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
antiestablishment figures. Bernie Sanders is showing young women are | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
voting along economic lines. There is no way you can draw any other | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
conclusions. Some see that as a betrayal of their own gender, | :34:39. | :34:44. | |
feminism. Madeline Albright said there is a special place in hell for | :34:45. | :34:49. | |
women who don't support other women. Some say it is trying for women | :34:50. | :34:53. | |
because they don't have to go to along gender lines because I a | :34:54. | :34:59. | |
citizen. You can see strong parallels between the generational | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
concerns of young people in America and the generational concerns of | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
young people in Britain, they are voting along similar lines. Jeremy | :35:07. | :35:13. | |
Corbyn's popularity here in Great Britain and Ernie Sanders' | :35:14. | :35:23. | |
popularity in America. What has Hillary Clinton got to do, she's not | :35:24. | :35:30. | |
uninspired speaker, what has she got to do? If I knew that, Hillary | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
Clinton would be paying me millions of dollars to answer it. It is still | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
early and things are shifting. Usually the prime -- primary is have | :35:39. | :35:53. | |
a clear winner quickly. But Hillary Clinton has more delicate than | :35:54. | :35:59. | |
Sanders has. We're talking about two states, neither which is a | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
representative of America generally. We need a better sense of how they | :36:05. | :36:12. | |
are going. My own sense, which may be biased, because Hillary Clinton | :36:13. | :36:16. | |
is the most centrist of these candidates, by far the most | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
experienced. Sanders is a long-standing senator, but she has | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
the foreign policy. He hasn't made any statement yet on foreign policy | :36:26. | :36:31. | |
and that will work against him with a more general and centrist voters. | :36:32. | :36:43. | |
The primary 's are among the most... One of the results in New Hampshire | :36:44. | :36:45. | |
last night was interesting is Sanders picked up some independence. | :36:46. | :36:51. | |
Hillary Clinton is going to gain more traction because she is a | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
centrist candidate and the people who are worried by what they view as | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
the extremism on the left of Sanders and the extremism on the right of | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
Trump, will choose the middle. People are angry about the idea of a | :37:06. | :37:12. | |
dynasty. They don't want more Clintons and they don't want more of | :37:13. | :37:24. | |
the Bush family. It is way too early. Thank you very much. | :37:25. | :37:32. | |
Teacher shortages in England are growing. | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
And the Government has been warned that recruitment targets have been | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
The National Audit Office says ministers don't have enough | :37:39. | :37:41. | |
information to understand local pressures - resulting in more | :37:42. | :37:43. | |
secondary school pupils being taught by teachers who don't have a degree | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
It found a doubling from half a percent to 1.2% of vacancies | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
and temporary filled positions in the teaching workforce | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
In poorer areas, some 54% of leaders in schools with a large proportion | :37:54. | :37:59. | |
of disadvantaged pupils say attracting and keeping | :38:00. | :38:01. | |
good teachers is a major problem, compared with 33% | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
?700 million is spent annually on teacher training | :38:07. | :38:18. | |
but the Department for Education is said to have a weak understanding | :38:19. | :38:20. | |
of the extent of local teacher supply shortages. | :38:21. | :38:27. | |
So how should the government be tackling teacher training? | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
chairman of the Education Select Committee, | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
Vic Goddard, Headteacher at Passmores Academy | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
and star of Channel 4's Educating Essex and Moses Kabba, | :38:38. | :38:39. | |
a deputy head teacher from West London. | :38:40. | :38:46. | |
Thank you all very much for talking to us. Neill Carmichael, what are | :38:47. | :38:55. | |
you going to do? Have an enquiry on the education select committee. Our | :38:56. | :39:02. | |
issues include the complexities that are emerging about the routes into | :39:03. | :39:05. | |
teaching. One of the things I will be putting the spotlight on is the | :39:06. | :39:12. | |
new college are teaching which is designed to be a professional body | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
to represent teaching and encourage professional development. That will | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
not affect teacher shortages now. I don't know if you have got | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
teenagers, but if you had a 15-year-old being taught physics by | :39:26. | :39:31. | |
a teacher who only had an A-level in physics, would you be happy with | :39:32. | :39:34. | |
that? I have got teenagers, and they did do physics. I bet they weren't | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
taught by somebody who only had an A-level in physics? Correct, they | :39:41. | :39:47. | |
weren't. The report does talk about specific areas and specific | :39:48. | :39:50. | |
subjects. That is what we have got to worry about. There is evidence in | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
certain parts of the country where results are not good, where the | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
reputation of schools is not high, recruitment is difficult and | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
retention is also a problem. We have to define that more carefully and I | :40:04. | :40:12. | |
think there needs to be more information on this. Do you think | :40:13. | :40:17. | |
there is a serious problem and not necessarily many people know what to | :40:18. | :40:19. | |
do right now? The problem didn't appear just this year. Four years of | :40:20. | :40:28. | |
missed targets, I wish I could miss four years of missed targets and | :40:29. | :40:32. | |
keep my job. I rely on overseas trained staff. We are not fully | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
staffed and haven't been until September. As much as Mr Carmichael | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
would like to say about the value of my school, they don't want to work | :40:43. | :40:49. | |
in this area, it is a challenge because of the proximity to London. | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
In difficult schools, it is difficult to recruit, that is not | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
just where it is, it is in all schools around the country, in | :40:59. | :41:02. | |
certain subjects, we cannot recruit. Moses, have you got the full | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
complement of teachers at your school? It is interesting my | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
colleague has the same problems. We have a shortage in maths, shortage | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
in science and geography and modern foreign-language us. We have | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
students taking their year 11 GCSE exams without a subject specialist | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
person delivering them. It is a shame cause one of the things you a | :41:27. | :41:32. | |
last meal is what he was going to do about it. He seems way off the mark. | :41:33. | :41:38. | |
Rather than the government tackling social factors around the schools, | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
they are using education as a tool to accelerate progress when teachers | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
are not there. What do you mean? In the respect of their is a teacher | :41:49. | :41:54. | |
shortage. Yes, it is difficult to place them, what are the factors | :41:55. | :41:58. | |
around that? They are throwing more money at teacher training programmes | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
then the issue is why can't teachers coming into the profession and why | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
aren't they staying in the first place first remark the subject my | :42:07. | :42:13. | |
colleagues just mentioned, the English baccalaureate subjects are | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
the key. We are made more accountable the subjects that we | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
cannot recruit teachers for so be accountability is important, but I | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
cannot recruit teachers, so they don't net. Neill Carmichael, do you | :42:27. | :42:34. | |
accept that and we back of when it comes to making schools accountable | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
for those subjects? We look at the league tables and the consequences | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
of them which do drive recruitment and retention. They are right... | :42:44. | :42:52. | |
Briefly if you would... In mathematics, we know there are | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
shortage which, it is a general shortage in science, engineering and | :42:57. | :43:03. | |
maths. We do need to develop subjects and give more leadership to | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
those subjects, so the people feel more attuned with the idea of | :43:10. | :43:12. | |
teaching those subjects. It is one of the things bigger and better | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
multi-Academy Trust 's will be able to do because there is more depth | :43:18. | :43:22. | |
and breadth in the subject areas of teachers. I know both my guests want | :43:23. | :43:28. | |
to come back and that is, but we are sorry we will return to the subject. | :43:29. | :43:32. | |
I want to thank you all for your time. Thanks for coming on the | :43:33. | :43:33. | |
programme. Good luck. A Department for Education spokesman | :43:34. | :43:36. | |
said the reality on the ground cats are ready to take part in | :43:37. | :44:04. | |
the ultimate claw down - | :44:05. | :44:08. |
