I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria, welcome to the programme. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
One person is confirmed dead and three people are still missing | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
after part of a decommissioned power station collapsed | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
We'll talk live to those involved in the search for survivors. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Also coming up today - More than 40 cases of cat killing | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
and mutilation have been reported across South London over the past | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
We'll have a special report into the search | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
for the Croydon Cat Killer and the impact on the families | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
He was the most important thing I ever had. | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
My Dad and Mum gave him to me for my birthday. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
And later, competitive parents at children's football games have | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
become so violent that someone may soon be killed. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
That's the warning from one youth league chairman. | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
We'll be asking if some touchline parents are getting out of control. | :00:57. | :01:10. | |
We're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11am. | :01:11. | :01:20. | |

First, rescue teams with sniffer dogs have spent the night searching | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
for three people after a building at Didcot power station | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
One person has died and five were injured when the structure came | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
down yesterday afternoon, creating a 30-foot pile of rubble. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
The dust cloud following the collapse was captured on camera | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
The Didcot A site closed in 2013 and is in the process | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
The emergency services said the building, which is 300 metres | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
long and ten storeys high, was due to be brought down | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Sophie Long is at the scene. Sophie, what's the latest there? Good | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
morning, Joanna. Yes, it is a very cold and very difficult morning for | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
many people in Oxfordshire. Didcot A or part of Didcot A power station | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
collapsed yesterday leaving one person dead, five people being | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
treated in hospital and another three people remain unaccounted for | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
this morning. Oxfordshire fire service is in charge of the search | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
and rescue operation here in morning and we're told, we're expecting an | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
update from Simon Fairlong who is co-ordinating the operation any | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
minute now. He is due to join us by the police cordon. You can see a | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
fire engine coming out of the complex there. We are told that this | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
is very much a search and rescue operation still at this stage. The | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
emergency services have been on site throughout the night. They've got | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
specialists from Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and the West Midlands, an | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
expert in urban recovery is on his way from Cheshire as well. The | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
crucial thing at this time is making that building safe. As you say, it | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
is a 300 meter building, the equivalent of ten storeys high. Part | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
of that has collapsed leaving a twisted mass of rubble and a very | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
unstable structure. While the emphasis is on searching for those | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
three people that remain unaccounted for, they also are very concerned | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
about not compromising the safety of those carrying out the search. Are | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
they hopeful that people could still be alive inside the rubble? Of | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
course, Joanna, that's the question that everyone is asking. It has been | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
a very cold night. Temperatures dropping below freezing. But all | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
they can tell us at this stage is that it is early days. That the | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
emphasis is very much on this still being a search and rescue operation | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
and really they can't give anymore information than that at the moment. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Obviously, an agonising wait for the families, for the loved ones of | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
those three people who are unaccounted for and thoughts also, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
of course, with the family of that person who was killed here yesterday | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
afternoon, just after 4pm when that building partially collapsed. It is | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
a very difficult time. The investigation into what happened | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
here is still very much at an early stage. All we know is that Didcot A | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
was being prepared for demolition. It had six cooling towers, three | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
were demolished in July of 2014 and the other three are being prepared | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
for demolition. A crowd just gathering behind me as you see, I | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
believe that's Simon Furlong who is coming to give an update to the | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
media who are gathered here on the state of the search and rescue | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
operation at this stage. The media are just gathering to hear the | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
latest from Simon Fairlong. He is getting into position now. I'm not | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
sure if we can take you over to another camera to hear what he is | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
about to say. We can't do that at the moment, | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Sophie, unfortunately, but do stay across that and we will try and get | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
his comments and bring them on to the programme. We will be speaking | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
to the local MP, Ed Vaidsy from the scene after 10am. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
A decision on whether to evict thousands of migrants from the camp | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
in Calais known as the Jungle, is expected this week. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
French authorities want to bulldoze the make-shift part of the camp, | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
which now has a school, library and youth centre. | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
Ccampaigners and charities have gone to court to try | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
They're concerned about what will happen to the hundreds | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
of unaccompanied minors if the camp is suddenly cleared. | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
As many as 2,000 people will be affected by the demolition of this | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
section of the camp, from where our correspondent | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
The landscape of the so-called jungle migrant camp here in Calais | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
has changed significantly over the past few months. Shops have sprung | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
up all over this section of the camp. There is a dozen restaurants | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
and shops all over here. There is a youth centre and of course, many | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
people live all around this area, but there is a risk that this whole | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
entire area, the southern side of the camp, will be demolished if the | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
French authorities are granted permission by a local judge. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
You have been speaking to migrants that live here, what's the general | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
mood about that impending possible eviction notice? Well, there is lot | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
of uncertainty around it. The residents of the camp are very aware | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
that we are working on the case. We have their backs as it were, we are | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
really working on trying to work with the authorities to find | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
solutions for everyone when the eventual destruction of the camp | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
does come. We have got to be clear. We don't want this camp to be here | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
forever anymore more than anyone else does, but we want somewhere | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
safe for the people living here to go. Let's play devil's advocate, | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
these people don't own this section of the land. So the French | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
authorities in a way are well within of the land. So the French | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
their right to demolish it, aren't they? In April 2015, so less than a | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
year ago, the local authorities told the refugees and the | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
year ago, the local authorities told that they had their assurance that | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
this was a space that they were welcome to occupy and they would | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
never be re-Evicted from it. Now, we are happy to | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
never be re-Evicted from it. Now, we authorities to find somewhere else | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
for the people to go, but let's remember, these are refugees, the | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
people in this camp are not here for fun. They're here because they're | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
fleeing war, they're fleeing some terrible, terrible experiences and | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
we need to recognise this is a humanitarian crisis and work with | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
them to find solutions. Thank you. In this section of the | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
camp a number of structures have been built. In the distance there | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
you can see the theatre where a performance of hamlet was performed | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
recently and behind me, down this road, is a church and also a | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
brand-new school that's just been built. It is in significant danger | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
of being raised in the near future. The judge has until tomorrow to make | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
her decision, but there could be a decision today and when that | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
decision comes, if she deems it legal, the raising of this section | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
of the camp could begin immediately. Earlier I spoke to Emad Rad, | :08:39. | :08:49. | |
a Syrian refugee who is living in He passed through the Jungle camp | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
in Calais on the way to the UK. I started by asking him | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
what the conditions I stayed there in Calais | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
for just about one week. It was a very horrible, | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
horrible situation. It didn't protect us | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
from storms, from the wet. And your brother is still there, | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
have you been able to He is there for six months, | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
trying to join me here. They have a bad signal there, | :09:18. | :09:32. | |
so if he has a good I sent a message to | :09:33. | :09:47. | |
let me know about him. What is now being done | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
is there are refitted containers for migrants to move | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
into or they can go to proper migrant accommodation | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
elsewhere in France, what do you think | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
about those options? The government want to do that | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
in France, they want them Why do they want to come | :10:08. | :10:20. | |
to the UK, because This is the first time | :10:21. | :10:34. | |
in our lives we are apart. So he wants to join me | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
to be together again. The situation here is better | :10:46. | :10:57. | |
than in France, of course. I chose to come to the UK | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
because of the language It's a good place to | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
stay for a few years to start a new life again | :11:08. | :11:18. | |
after losing everything Why would you say it's a good place, | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
you mentioned the language? It's the language, | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
friendly people yes, It's the most important | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
thing for us. Because we suffered | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
too much from the war. And we want to be in a safe | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
place with friendly How did you get to | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
the UK from France? Did you come in on a lorry, | :11:51. | :12:09. | |
what did you do? Yes, I tried many times, | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
every day I tried Every day they beat me | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
and sprayed me with They took me away from the station | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
about five miles and just And I had to walk again | :12:33. | :12:43. | |
to the station to try again. Last time, I managed to hide myself | :12:44. | :12:56. | |
behind the wind deflector on top We've been speaking to one truck | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
driver who says going through Calais is too stressful for him | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
because of people trying to get into the trucks trying | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
to come to this country. Yes, he has the right to say that | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
because the police here caught me Maybe they think he | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
will know I am there. It was just the one choice, | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
we have to do that to come When you left Syria, | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
did you always want to come to the UK, | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
was that always your aim? No, the first time I left Syria, | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
I had to leave because of the war, I was just trying to find | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
somewhere else to go. But finally I came | :13:55. | :14:20. | |
to Calais and started Just going back to your brother | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
who is in Calais in the Jungle which they are trying to close, | :14:23. | :14:34. | |
he doesn't want to go for the other He keeps trying to | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
come here to join me. He will target to come | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
here, to join me, yes. He won't change his | :14:44. | :15:06. | |
mind and give his fingerprints in France or Germany, | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
he just wants to join me. I'm joined now from the camp | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
by Caroline Anning, an aid worker for Save the Children and also | :15:14. | :15:29. | |
the comedian Shappi Khorsandi who visited the camp at the weekend | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
with a group of celebrities. Euan Flemming who is a lorry driver | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
who frequently travels I will start with you Ewan, when I | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
was talking to my previous guest, I said that you actually don't like to | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
go through Calais anymore because of the pressures of people trying to | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
get on your lorries, tell us how you feel about the situation? | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Good morning. Non-of the drivers now volunteer for the Continental work. | :15:54. | :16:03. | |
You go where you are sent. It is the stress and the hassle and the | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
violins you face on a daily basis going through Calais. -- violence. I | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
am on my way to Dover at the moment, I will be in Calais this evening. I | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
am not particularly looking forward to it. When you talk about violence, | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
what happens? The violins is getting more intense, the gangs are getting | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
bigger, there is a lot less it you can do to protect yourself. We're | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
not allowed to stop in Calais at all, it just isn't safe. On the way | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
in all on the way out. We absolutely avoid coming through it at night if | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
possible and we are not allowed to stop for diesel. I stopped this | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
morning and put some diesel in the truck, so I can get a few hours out | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
of Calais before I have to put some diesel in. You went to visit the | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
Jungle with other celebrities, what are your thoughts? My heart goes out | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
to the lorry drivers here also. It is a desperate situation for them as | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
well. The authorities need to listen to what is happening. People are in | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
a desperate situation. I went to the camp on Sunday. I have never seen | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
such a thing... People are desperate to tell you their stories. There are | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
children, on the south side of the camp they want to close down, there | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
are 300, unaccompanied children. I met a little boy who is 12, Jamil, | :17:45. | :17:54. | |
being looked after by a British volunteer, Liz. She is looking after | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
the children, who have been so traumatised on the trip over and | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
what they have experienced in their own country. There is a mistrust of | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
French authorities because they have been brutalised and tear gas. The | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
little boy she introduced me to, Jamil, is 12 and every night he | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
tries to escape on a lorry and get out of there. Every morning he comes | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
back defeated at whatever state he is in and she looks after him. We | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
cannot turn our backs on the unaccompanied children, on anyone | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
there. But for me, those stories were the ones that made me so | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
desperate to do everything I can to help. A lot of these children have a | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
legitimate reason to be in the UK, they have family here. The ones who | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
don't have a legitimate reason, it must be properly protected. If they | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
are to be evicted, they must be looked after by child protection | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
services. At the moment, all options are the shipping containers. It is | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
unacceptable that an unaccompanied child be put in a shipping container | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
with 11 adult males. It is intolerable. I want to bring in | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
Caroline because she is at the camp. What are the options, Caroline? Is | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
that the case, with kids be put into shipping containers with adults they | :19:32. | :19:46. | |
don't know? There has been provision made, as we understand it, for | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
unaccompanied children. There has been a container put aside for | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
unaccompanied children, the estimate is about 400 unaccompanied children | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
so there aren't enough spaces. Nobody is saying this camp behind me | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
is fit for habitation, the conditions are appalling. In all my | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
work in save the children, I am not sure I have seen conditions this | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
bad. But people have built up a community, they have schools, up a | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
club, they have a life. So there is not enough space in the new camp and | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
there isn't the provisions here, community centres and thinks | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
children can go to and feel part of a system and community and at least | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
have people to speak to. We have quite a long delay on the line, but | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
the other option the French authorities are talking about is | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
sending people from that camp elsewhere in France, where they | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
could be better looked after, why don't they want to do that? | :20:47. | :20:59. | |
Sorry, are you asking me Caroline? The children here are very | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
mistrustful of the authorities, they want to find a place where they can | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
seek asylum and safety... What save the children is saying, David | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
Cameron has promised to speed up the process of relocating unaccompanied | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
children who have family in the UK, happy to take them in and look after | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
them. We estimate there is at least 50 children here who have that. Do | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
you see kids running around trying to get on the lorries? When you talk | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
about the people trying to get on the lorries, who do you see? The | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
most part, the people we see are the 20 to 30-year-old males making the | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
most of the situation. Because the camp is right beside the motorway. I | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
think you will find most truck drivers... They are not anti | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
immigration, most people want the camp moved, it is too close to the | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
main thoroughfare and camp moved, it is too close to the | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
for people to disrupt. camp moved, it is too close to the | :22:16. | :22:21. | |

?20,000 repairing damage to the roof is of trailers the immigrants have | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
caused. The situation where everybody would be to move the camp | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
further away so the immigrants can be looked after and properly | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
processed. There are systems and processes in | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
processed. There are systems and than just having them in Calais so | :22:43. | :22:43. | |
close to the than just having them in Calais so | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
colleague a couple of weeks ago who was mugged in Calais. He had his | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
wallet, his phone and his money, credit cards and fuel taken of him. | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
It unacceptable. The bottom line credit cards and fuel taken of him. | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
we are inside of the UK, just across the | :23:04. | :23:03. | |
we are inside of the UK, just across only trying to do our jobs. You were | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
shaking your head at one point when you win was talking about moving the | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
camp away, what were you thinking? I didn't realise you had seen that, | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
sorry. Having been to the camp, and seen what they have set up there | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
already, how they have helped on the ground with charities like Help | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
Refugees and the structures they have built, the women's Centre and | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
the school. It is not as simple as destroying the community they have | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
built and moving it somewhere else. It is not a portable thing. The | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
fundraising and everything will have to be started from scratch. The | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
threat to the lorry drivers can be combated by the authorities | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
properly, compassionately, perhaps fast tracking the cases of | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
especially the children and those who have family to come to in the | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
UK. That is the best way to tackle it. As Caroline said, nobody wants | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
the camp that, but eviction must happen properly and slowly, to limit | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
the trauma they have already suffered. This is a case for the | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
authorities to take seriously. It is not about the refugees and the lorry | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
drivers. It is not about refugees and lorry drivers against one | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
another, it is about a group of desperate people not being properly | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
looked after by the authorities and it having repercussions are people | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
like the lorry drivers, who want to get on with the work. Thank you all | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
for joining us. Let us know your thoughts on that. | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
Thanks for joining us today - still to come. | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
As the chairman of one youth league warns that competitive parents | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
at games have become so violent that someone may soon be killed, | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
we'll talk to the director a grassroots football organisation. | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
Ahead of tonight's ceremony, we'll discuss the lack of black | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
artists with So Solid Crew's Megaman Dwayne Vincent. | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
Crews using sniffer dogs to search for three people missing | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
after the Didcot power station collapse say they haven't yet picked | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
One person has died and five people were hurt, two of them | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
The derelict site was being prepared for demolition when it happened. | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
This is still a rescue operation. We have seen from previous incidents | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
both abroad and at home, that people can survive considerable periods of | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
time. I would reiterate, this is a rescue operation for the Fire and | :25:53. | :25:53. | |
rescue. A close friend and ally | :25:54. | :25:55. | |
of David Cameron, Michael Gove, has said the Prime Minister's hard | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
fought agreement to reform the EU In his first interview | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
since deciding to support the leave campaign, Mr Gove said the deal | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
could be overturned Downing Street has | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
rejected the claim. There'll be 750 new jobs in south | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
Wales after Aston Martin chose Glamorgan for building | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
its new factory. Work on the St Athan site begins | :26:13. | :26:13. | |
next year and it will be up and running by 2020 - | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
the first car production line It's been another big night | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
for Donald Trump in his race to become the US Republican | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
presidential candidate. He's won the third state in a row - | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
Nevada this time - with Senators Marco Rubio | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
and Ted Cruz tied in a fight for second place as the | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
results still come in. Exit polls indicate Trump won more | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
than 40% of the vote. We're not going to be the peak all | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
who get pushed around all over the place. We are going to be the smart | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
people. You're going to be proud of your president and you will be even | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
prouder of your country, OK? Heartbreak for relatives in Nepal | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
after officials confirm they have found the wreckage of a small plane | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
airplane carrying 23 people. The aircraft lost contact | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
with the control tower shortly Let's catch up with all the sport | :27:08. | :27:09. | |
now and join Jessica. Arsenal were tormented | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
by Lionel Messi last night. Yes, not just Lionel Messi. Luis | :27:15. | :27:27. | |
Suarez and Neymar as well. They are known as the three Amigos. If you | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
watched that match between Arsenal and Barcelona last night, you got to | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
witness the pleasure of those in action. Much was made of the | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
attacking trio before the match, and they certainly delivered. They | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
picked the ball up in their own half for the first goal. Good interaction | :27:44. | :27:51. | |
between Neymar and Luis Suarez on the left-hand side and then Lionel | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
Messi put them 1-0 up. Then Lionel Messi scored a penalty and made it | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
2-0. Arsene Wenger held his hands up after the match and he said, they | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
are better than us, everybody knows that. So he is honest. They have the | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
return leg in three weeks, but Arsene Wenger has put the nail in by | :28:14. | :28:20. | |
saying Barcelona are 95% through to the quarterfinals. He doesn't seem | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
very helpful. Another team in the last 16 of the Champions League | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
tonight is Manchester City. They are in Ukraine to be playing dynamo | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
Kiev. They rested their star names against Chelsea in the 5-1 defeat in | :28:35. | :28:40. | |
the FA Cup. We expect dingoes names to return the night. We will have | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
the build-up to the game and the reaction from Arsenal and Barcelona | :28:45. | :28:45. | |
when I see you again at ten o'clock. Now we know that tempers can flare | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
on the touchline and when you throw children and their parents | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
into the mix things can get worse but competitive mums and dads | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
at football matches have become so violent that the chairman | :28:56. | :28:57. | |
of Surrey Youth League has warned During one weekend at matches | :28:58. | :29:00. | |
in the county a parent threatenned to stab a referee and another | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
headbutted a linesman. You are getting in touch this | :29:05. | :29:21. | |
morning. Tony said, I have been taking photographs for 17 years. | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
Over that time I have seen all sorts of violence and threats to match | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
officials. I have seen matches where the referee has walked off the | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
pitch. People have found out where the rectory lives and gone to the | :29:35. | :29:37. | |
house to threaten them. The interesting thing, there isn't the | :29:38. | :29:40. | |
same abuse in Rob. John and e-mail says I have refereed | :29:41. | :29:48. | |
Junior football on all levels. I have encountered threats of | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
violence. It changed in 2002, what I witnessed in and under 14 | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
competition. Police cars, ambulances, people hurt. Children | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
petrified because grown men and women were fighting on the field and | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
the game was abandoned. Someone else has said we are made to | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
feel guilty or not caring if we don't overdo it. | :30:13. | :30:20. | |
One lady said, my boy's team walked away from the cup because of the | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
violence. Lucy on Twitter said my sons play | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
rugby, football and cricket and the only place with problems is the | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
football pitch. One man said I gave up refereeing | :30:32. | :30:37. | |
because I got sore at by a ten-year-old. | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
Another man said I used to manage a football team and I was threaten to | :30:43. | :30:48. | |
have a brick thrown out my car. Another man used to walk his dog on | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
a football field but gave up because of the language of the parents. | :30:53. | :30:58. | |
Paul Kirton is the director at an organisation called | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
Grassroots Football and every week hears of problems | :31:01. | :31:02. | |
What sort of things do you hear? Yes, thank you very much, good | :31:03. | :31:14. | |
morning, Joanna. Thank you for having us on the show. I would | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
certainly say what all the Twitter feeds and the e-mails that you've | :31:19. | :31:23. | |
received are certainly echoing what we receive on a daily basis. It is | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
interesting that a lot of the comments are coming from referees. | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
One of the most famous cases that we documented last year was the case of | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
a 14-year-old female referee, a school child, which is all she was, | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
and what she did was she spoke out publicly on social media and she | :31:43. | :31:48. | |
told everybody, it was an open letter to parents and coaches to say | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
I'm just a 14-year-old school child refereeing a junior game of | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
football. That's all I am. As a result of that she gained national | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
support and I'm really pleased to say she won a regional award up in | :32:03. | :32:06. | |
the north-east of England which is a fantastic achievement and it really | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
shows that there is support for a change in the game and there is | :32:11. | :32:17. | |
support for a more how can I say it? A move towards it being a sport and | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
a game again and taking away the seriousness a little bit for | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
certainly the youngsters. I think we have moved into an element of taking | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
junior football away from being a game and having fun and enjoyment | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
into something more serious. Why do you think this is? ? What's going on | :32:37. | :32:43. | |
with the parents? I wouldn't just put the blame directly at parents | :32:44. | :32:51. | |
door. I think sometimes there can be over placed assistants. What we see | :32:52. | :32:56. | |
a lot of is sideline shouting and sideline direction, but that can | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
actually have a knock on effect on a child because the easiest way I can | :33:00. | :33:06. | |
put it into context are sorry the easy analogy, if you are doing | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
something complicated like a tax return, the last thing you want is | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
somebody over your shoulder shouting at you because it will be off | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
putting. The same applies to children playing football. They are | :33:17. | :33:21. | |
learning a game. They are learning a sport and shouting from the | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
sidelines is just confusing. It makes matters a little bit worse and | :33:26. | :33:28. | |
unfortunately that can have a snowballing effect because I suppose | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
if you've got 40, 50 people on the sideline and one begins to shout or | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
one steps forward, what you tend to sideline and one begins to shout or | :33:37. | :33:39. | |
find it has a sideline and one begins to shout or | :33:40. | :33:41. | |
rest of the game and unfortunately the people who are actually there to | :33:42. | :33:49. | |
put a stop to it, the referees, at times they can be schoolchildren | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
themselves. Times that gets lost. And at junior level, a lot of the | :33:56. | :33:58. | |
referees are schoolchildren themselves and they need | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
congratulated for doing the job they do in fairness as opposed to | :34:02. | :34:05. | |
everything they say getting challenged and of course, decisions | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
are going to go wrong. There is no, you know, goal-line technology on a | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
Sunday morning in Hampshire, it is based on what the referee can | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
Sunday morning in Hampshire, it is and unfortunately, sometimes | :34:17. | :34:18. | |
decisions go against you and I think there needs to be an acceptance of | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
that in junior football. I want to come in. The Chairman of Surrey | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
Youth League is warning someone may soon be killed. That sounds | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
incredible, what do you think? That's a major concern. I read what | :34:34. | :34:39. | |
Graham had to say this morning and I would probably echo a lot of what he | :34:40. | :34:43. | |
was saying rings true. Will it go to that level? I'm not certain it would | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
escalate to those levels, but certainly there is mum Tim | :34:49. | :34:54. | |
documented cases of assaults on referees, assaults parent to parent | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
and very concerningingly, parents to their own coach. Again, there is | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
also coach on other coaches. The passion in the kind can overspill at | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
times, will it go to the levels that Graham is saying? I'm not convinced | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
it will go to those levels, but I do share his concerns that the passion | :35:12. | :35:15. | |
is over spilling at times into violent. I would certainly share | :35:16. | :35:18. | |
those concerns. Is it just football? We have got | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
lots of people getting in touch on Twitter saying their kids do other | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
sports, rugby, cricket and they don't encounter this issue on other | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
touchlines? It is a fair point. Our organisation, we are the largest | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
grass-roots football organisation in the UK, but we do, we are contacted | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
by certainly, you pick the rugby analogy and in rugby, there is a | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
totally different onus on the player to show respect to the team-mates, | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
to the opposition and to the referee themselves. It doesn't have anywhere | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
near the same level of problems that football has. Having said that, | :35:58. | :36:03. | |
we're also linked in with the large soccer organisations. Youth soccer | :36:04. | :36:07. | |
organisations in the US and they would echo the concerns in this | :36:08. | :36:12. | |
country that there is major problems in youth soccer in the United | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
States. Very, very similar to everything that you've raised today | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
Joanna. What do you think should be done? We have had various youth | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
clubs getting in touch saying they put out various, they put out | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
notices saying that bad behaviour will not be tolerated. How do you | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
make sure that parents and coaches and anyone else who isn't behaving | :36:34. | :36:39. | |
properly in the youth game toes the line? Yeah, I mean, to be fair, | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
there is a formal process in place. If there is behaviour that you feel | :36:45. | :36:49. | |
is unacceptable, whether that's abuse, verbal, whether that's | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
violence, etcetera, there is a formal process that you can follow | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
via the county FA. There is all you would need to do is document that | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
through to the county FA. I think some of the frustrations lie in | :37:01. | :37:06. | |
that, that process can occur, but you maybe at times, we have many | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
people report back that they never ever hear back from putting a report | :37:11. | :37:13. | |
in, other than OK, we will investigate it. The only way that | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
this will be stamped out completely is if we start to self-police it and | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
say it isn't acceptable anymore and... Should parents be banned if | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
they behave badly? Well, I think that's already in place at the | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
moment. I know a lot of leagues around the United Kingdom, that is | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
what they will do, but they've got to see at first hand. I think, you | :37:34. | :37:37. | |
know, you have got a lot of people from leagues and from county FAs, | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
let's get them down to the games on the weekends and let's get them | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
watching and observing. I know in relation to Kick It Out have got a | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
report system on their website in relation to racism. I think there | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
should be potentially some type of system in place for the county FAs | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
for verbal and physical abuse on a weekend as well to make it what it | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
needs to be easier to report. If it is easier to report, I think people | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
will report it. We get somewhere in the region of 900 reports every | :38:09. | :38:17. | |
weekend from around the UK. But the stem or the flow of the complaint is | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
similarment somebody who went a little bit over passionate or over | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
the top and it is either resulted in a push, a shove or sideline slanging | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
match. Unfortunately... Thank you. Thanks, Paul. | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
900 reports a week, that's incredible. It has got you talking. | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
Stephen on e-mail, "I have witnessed verbal abuse between parents and | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
against referees, it is aggressive and threatening. Sport and young | :38:41. | :38:43. | |
children don't need these people around them. It gives off the wrong | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
messages, they should be banned from any contact with sport." Louise on | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
text says, "We have a problem like this in Lincoln, I'm the only mum, | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
parent, ref and I was harassed by opposition parents. My male fellow | :38:57. | :39:02. | |
ref had abuse too. Our son does cricket too, a different story." | :39:03. | :39:09. | |
Andrew on e-mail, "If a parent is violent, they should be arrested and | :39:10. | :39:14. | |
charged with ABH." There is an easy answer to this, ban them and let the | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
children enjoy their sport without having to prove themselves all the | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
time." Phil says, "I managed an under-11 team, sometimes you get an | :39:24. | :39:26. | |
idiot, but not all the time." One texter, "I took my son out of | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
football after hearing children's own parents scream and swear at | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
their own kids for messing up. Disgusting behaviour. Get your | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
children involved in rugby where they will be taught respect for | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
others." Keep your thoughts coming in on that and everything else. | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
We're talking about and coming up, we will have a special report on | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
efforts to catch a sadistic cat killer in South London who preyed on | :39:52. | :39:53. | |
dozens of family pets. It's one of the biggest nights | :39:54. | :39:59. | |
of the year for British music. The Brit Awards are | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
happening tonight. Just five of the almost 50 | :40:03. | :40:04. | |
British nominees were black or from ethnic minorities | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
and just one of those Overlooked were critically acclaimed | :40:09. | :40:10. | |
artists like FKA Twigs, Konan and Krept | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
as well as grime artists like Skepta and Stormzy, | :40:16. | :40:18. | |
who both picked up People have been taking to social | :40:19. | :40:19. | |
media are using the hashtag #BritsSoWhite to highlight the lack | :40:20. | :40:26. | |
of diversity in the nominations. Are you wondering what | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
all the fuss is about? I won't be going to | :40:33. | :40:35. | |
the BRITs this year. My black identity is something | :40:36. | :41:16. | |
that's hugely important to me. We can talk about this more now | :41:17. | :42:04. | |
with a BRIT Award winner, Dwayne Vincent, better known | :42:05. | :42:06. | |
as Megaman from So Solid Crew, who picked up the gong | :42:07. | :42:09. | |
for best video back in 2002. Good morning. Before we chat, I want | :42:10. | :42:16. | |
to see the moment when you did pick up the award. Go ahead. | :42:17. | :42:54. | |
It is a wicked video. 21 seconds. Thanks again for everybody at the | :42:55. | :43:06. | |
BRITs. So what do you reckon? Is black | :43:07. | :43:12. | |
talent being overlooked? Yeah, I do feel it is being overlooked. I mean | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
there has been some major impact with grime music all over the world | :43:17. | :43:26. | |
and internationally and you know, Krept and Konan had success. I'm not | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
sure if artists are hung up on it though. I'm not sure the artists are | :43:32. | :43:37. | |
that crazy zwrup set, but it would have been nice to have young black | :43:38. | :43:40. | |
artists that are doing well. Why do you think it isn't happening at the | :43:41. | :43:46. | |
BRITs? I can't put my finger on it. I'm not quite sure, but I can say | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
that, back when we were in the game like, very hard and in record deals, | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
it was very easy because I was an extrovert and I think, I can't say | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
it was easy, but I would definitely say the competition level was | :44:02. | :44:04. | |
different. So our playing field, we had to go a lot more glossier and a | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
lot more extrovertish and you know, and really give that international | :44:11. | :44:15. | |
feel straightaway. I'm not sure why, but it is a bit of a let down, but | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
hey, I'm sure the artists are OK and everyone is fine and we will get on | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
and there will be more award shows and we'll try harder, man. It | :44:24. | :44:30. | |
got the issue being talked and looked at. The organisers say they | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
take the issue seriously, looked at. The organisers say they | :44:34. | :44:40. | |
chart success, do you looked at. The organisers say they | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
fair enough? Yeah, in some sense, but I mean, like the MOBOs, | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
fair enough? Yeah, in some sense, MOBOs see a glitch in what is | :44:48. | :44:48. | |
happening MOBOs see a glitch in what is | :44:49. | :44:57. | |
another nomination for it and that's fine, it doesn't | :44:58. | :44:59. | |
another nomination for it and that's every year, but sometimes we do need | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
a fresh category, you know, I should say and I think grime should have a | :45:05. | :45:13. | |
category or even Krept and Konan should have some category. It will | :45:14. | :45:19. | |
be a great show and salute to the artists | :45:20. | :45:21. | |
be a great show and salute to the look forward to next year and | :45:22. | :45:23. | |
hopefully we'll get our presence shown. That's something that the | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
organisers are saying they are looking at, whether it is time to | :45:28. | :45:30. | |
include different genres like grime looking at, whether it is time to | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
as you're saying. What about looking at, whether it is time to | :45:35. | :45:38. | |
actually are doing the voting because it is just over 1,000... | :45:39. | :45:44. | |
Wow. Journalists, artists, heads of labels, they are saying in future | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
they will look at the diversity of those people doing the voting to try | :45:50. | :45:51. | |
to make sure that there is representation across all areas, do | :45:52. | :45:53. | |
you think that's the right thing? representation across all areas, do | :45:54. | :45:59. | |
think it is definitely the right thing because like I said, like I | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
said before in 16 years ago, there wasn't this much young artists, | :46:05. | :46:09. | |
said before in 16 years ago, there plaque artists, you know, Asian | :46:10. | :46:09. | |
artists or young plaque artists, you know, Asian | :46:10. | :46:11. | |
business, we didn't have so much plaque artists, you know, Asian | :46:12. | :46:18. | |
doing loads of things, it is only fair that the UK does shine a light | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
on that side of the music industry and give it its fair due. It is | :46:23. | :46:24. | |
great to talk to you, thank you joining us, Dwain. Thank you. | :46:25. | :46:33. | |
Now the, the latest weather update. Carol has the details. Good morning. | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
This morning it has been a cold start to the day. It has been frosty | :46:38. | :46:40. | |
as well. For many of us, it is dry. Some sunshine around and some | :46:41. | :46:43. | |
showers just peppering the far north of Scotland. They're wintry, the | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
sleet and snow at lower levels, we have got lying snow across parts of | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
Cumbria, here too, we have had snow showers and this area of cloud | :46:52. | :46:54. | |
sinking southwards through the day. It could produce the odd shower here | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
and there, but for most, it's dry and there will be sunshine around. | :46:59. | :47:01. | |
And feeling not too bad in the afternoon if you're in the sun with | :47:02. | :47:04. | |
light winds, for the time of year. As we head through the evening and | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
overnight, the line of cloud continues to sink southwards, it | :47:09. | :47:11. | |
tends to fizzle. It will be a cold night. There will be a frost. The | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
temperatures you can expect in towns and cities around about frozing or | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
below, but in the countryside, lower, in fact where we have got | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
lying snow, the temperature could fall lower than you can see there. | :47:24. | :47:32. | |
Tomorrow we start off with ice. Any fog patches will clear readily and | :47:33. | :47:34. | |
it will be another beautiful day with a lot of sunshine, some | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
showers, peppering the coastlines at times and then later, thicker cloud | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
will come in from the south-west, spreading into Wales, the Midlands | :47:43. | :47:45. | |
and over towards the South East, it will produce showers, but later in | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
the night, it will be replaced by some | :47:50. | :47:51. | |
rainment -- rain. Hello it's Wednesday it's 10:00, | :47:52. | :47:58. | |
I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria, If you've just joined us, | :47:59. | :48:01. | |

of assaults on referees, assaults parent to parent and parents to | :48:34. | :48:34. | |

killing and mutilation have been reported across South London over | :48:38. | :48:40. | |

considerable periods of time. I would reiterate, this is a rescue | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
operation for the Fire and rescue. Downing Street has dismissed a claim | :49:39. | :49:52. | |
by Michael Gove that a reform deal being offered by the government can | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
be overturned by a Brussels court. They said they would not be bound by | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
the agreements, but Downing Street said it does have legal force. | :50:03. | :50:05. | |

voters after another win in his race to become the US presidential | :50:28. | :50:31. | |

Let's join Jessica again for the sport, and lots | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
of Champions League news to catch up with? | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
We're in the middle of a Champions League week, | :50:57. | :50:59. | |
and after some magic from Messi, Arsenal look likely to be knocked | :51:00. | :51:02. | |
out at the last 16 stage for the 6th year in a row. | :51:03. | :51:05. | |
Manchester City take on Dinamo Kiev tonight. | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
Radio 5 Live commentator, Conor McNamara, is in the Ukraine | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
though Conor, Arsenal still have the second leg | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
to contest, but Arsene Wenger said Barcelona were 95% through, | :51:20. | :51:22. | |
you can't really argue with that, can you? | :51:23. | :51:32. | |
I think it's very difficult to have any argument with that. It was a | :51:33. | :51:38. | |
sobering evening for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. They know they are | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
nearly there. The 70 minutes of the game they went head to head with | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
Barcelona and held their own. But this is the highest echelon of | :51:49. | :51:55. | |
European football. When you are against Lionel Messi, any | :51:56. | :51:56. | |
European football. When you are you have do get exposed. You might | :51:57. | :52:05. | |
be able to hold on for an hour, 70 minutes, but he is not a one-man | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
team. Arsenal, although they are a stronger team, it looks inevitably | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
like another exit of the competition. Arsene Wenger must feel | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
he is getting closer. He's just reminded of that he is not there | :52:19. | :52:20. | |
yet. Now, Manchester City, | :52:21. | :52:21. | |
Manuel Pellegrini sent out a pretty under-strength side | :52:22. | :52:27. | |
against Chelsea in the FA Cup at the weekend, and | :52:28. | :52:29. | |
they were thrashed 5-1. what does that tell us | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
about Pellegrini's priorities? No excuses for Manchester City, | :52:34. | :52:47. | |
although they have had a busy week. They sacrifice the FA Cup, so now | :52:48. | :52:51. | |
they have two progress in the Champions League to justify that | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
decision. Manchester City are a team who have invested a lot of money in | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
recent seasons and people think they should have a squad of big enough to | :53:02. | :53:03. | |
cope across many competitions. They have never got past this stage | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
before. They won their group last time around, so on paper it is an | :53:10. | :53:16. | |
easy draw. Manchester City will hope to progress, they have never won a | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
two legate game in the Champions League or the old European cup | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
before it. If Manchester City are complaining they have had too many | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
games, dynamo Kiev have not had a competitive match since early | :53:30. | :53:33. | |
December, 11 weeks since the start of the Ukrainian winter break. They | :53:34. | :53:36. | |
haven't played since the group stages of the Champions League. | :53:37. | :53:42. | |
While they have played friendlies, it is not the same thing as | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
competitive action. I think Manchester City will see this as a | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
good chance of going through and reaching a stage of the Champions | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
League they have not been up before. On Sunday they go to Wembley and | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
they have the League Cup final as well. Thank you for your time. That | :53:57. | :54:01. | |
will be an exciting game to watch. Bill that will be across the BBC | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
this evening, but that is all the sport for now. -- build-up. | :54:07. | :54:09. | |

Fire and search crews have indicated they have indicated they hope to | :55:01. | :55:07. | |
find three missing people alive in the rubble of the Didcot power | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
Station collapse. They say there is no sign of life at the moment but it | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
is still a rescue operation. Another update is expected soon. Rescue | :55:18. | :55:20. | |
crews have been using sniffer update is expected soon. Rescue | :55:21. | :55:23. | |

injured. Any updates, Sophie Long? It was a long, cold and difficult | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
night for the emergency services working here. It is likely to be a | :55:41. | :55:46. | |
very long, cold and difficult day. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
which is coordinating the search and rescue operation say it is a | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
national incident. They have help from teams across the UK, teams from | :55:54. | :55:59. | |
Merseyside, Hampshire, Bucks and the West Midlands. They are using a | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
drone with the highly sensitive listening device, which is trying to | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
find any trace, any sign of life as those three people remain | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
unaccounted for. A while ago we got the latest from the Assistant Chief | :56:14. | :56:16. | |
Fire Officer, Simon Furlong. At the moment the structure | :56:17. | :56:18. | |
is very, very unstable. I am concerned about the integrity | :56:19. | :56:21. | |
of the remainder of the building. But we are continuing to search | :56:22. | :56:24. | |
with the dogs and the other teams Is there a risk the other bit | :56:25. | :56:27. | |
of the building could come down Yes, there is continued risk | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
around the integrity. We have safety officers | :56:32. | :56:34. | |
in place and we are Paramount of my crews | :56:35. | :56:36. | |
is high at the moment. What do you think | :56:37. | :56:49. | |
the chances are finding We have seen from previous | :56:50. | :56:51. | |
incidents globally and nationally, that people have stayed | :56:52. | :56:59. | |
alive for considerable So this will be a protracted | :57:00. | :57:01. | |
incident and we are continuing To be clear, it is still a rescue | :57:02. | :57:05. | |
operation. Part of a 300 metre building | :57:06. | :57:21. | |
partially collapsed yesterday, the equivalent of ten stories high. What | :57:22. | :57:28. | |
is left is a 30 metre pile of rubble, 12 tonnes of twisted metal. | :57:29. | :57:33. | |
You can imagine how difficult the operation will be. What was and | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
already unstable building being prepared the demolition, is now more | :57:39. | :57:44. | |
unstable. The people in charge here say their priority has to be the | :57:45. | :57:47. | |
safety of those carrying out research. That search could go on, | :57:48. | :57:51. | |
we are told, for some days. An research. That search could go on, | :57:52. | :57:56. | |

pulled under a lorry as he walked along the famous Strip in the city | :58:34. | :58:36. | |
10 days ago. His family flew to his bedside | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
and quickly realized the 35-year-old did not have travel insurance | :58:40. | :58:41. | |

friend who is behind Thanks to be joining us, you have | :58:59. | :59:09. | |
known him since you were 18 and you are at medical school together? Yes, | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
we trained at University College London. We have been best friends | :59:15. | :59:20. | |
since. He was best man at my wedding and is one of the dearest people I | :59:21. | :59:24. | |
know. When I heard about this, it was a case of the being shocked | :59:25. | :59:30. | |
initially, but a lot of us decided there was no point being upset, | :59:31. | :59:34. | |
let's focus our energies on doing something positive and getting him | :59:35. | :59:39. | |
home. Being of the generation of social media, we thought let's try | :59:40. | :59:43. | |
and use that to our advantage. We launched this campaign. His friend | :59:44. | :59:56. | |
from home, Alex, set up a Go Fund page and we blasted social media to | :59:57. | :00:01. | |
get as much exposure as we could. You have had an incredible response, | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
you have raised a lot of money? I didn't think I would be sitting here | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
talking to you about this. We were hoping to cover the cost of his | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
repatriation, which is probably about ?100,000 alone. And the | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
additional costs of the hospital, we were hoping to recover possibly from | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
insurance, or legally through insurance. But now we have been so | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
successful, we are hoping we can cover almost all of his costs. We | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
have seen the picture of him in a terrible state in hospital. Tell us | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
more about the injuries, what happened and what state he is in | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
now? It happened last Monday. From what we understand, we have not been | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
told all of the information because there is a criminal case, | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
potentially, over what happened. He was found under a freight truck, a | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
very large American cargo carrier truck. He had suffered extensive | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
injuries to his neck, broken three bones in his neck and had damage to | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
his spinal-cord. Damaged his artery which supplies blood to his | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
spinal-cord. He also had a lot of soft tissue damage. His ears have | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
both been essentially removed and needed to be reattached. One of his | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
arms is extensively damaged, both the nerves and blood supply to his | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
arm is severely affected. He has had two surgeries on his neck, both to | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
stabilise the spine. He has had his arteries repaired and his ears | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
reattach. He is having a track he to me, a windpipe put in to help in | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
Brive and come of the ventilator. But he is in an induced coma and | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
will be so probably for the next week or so. After that, we can | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
hopefully try to think about getting him home. He is stable, but very | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
unwell at the moment. Which is making the transfer back very | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
challenging and expensive event. As we said, the medical treatment in | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
the United States is incredibly expensive and didn't have insurance. | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
If you hadn't have raised the money like this, what would have happened? | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
It is difficult to save, but in situations like this, they would | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
have demanded the money from family and I don't think they could have | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
afforded it. They would have potentially had to sell his flat and | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
any possessions. I am not sure what they would have done, but they would | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
have been legally in their right to try to demand the money from their | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
family. Is what is the prognosis, is it clear? We have been told he has | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
had some damage to his spinal-cord. Being so high up, he could have | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
quadriplegia. He has had some movements in both his arms and legs. | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
I have worked in a spinal and neuro intensive care before and patients | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
can do remarkably well, even when you think they are going to not walk | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
ever again. So, although it is rare, I am hoping he is a rarity, he is a | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
rare individual as a personality. I am hoping he will be one of those | :03:24. | :03:24. | |
cases. Tell us more about him? He went to a | :03:25. | :03:36. | |
Grammar School in Surrey. He did a degree in biomedical sciences and | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
medical school was his second degree. He is the life of the party. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
There he is in the middle of that picture? That's us when we went to | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
Mount Everest, we went to base camp to race money for Great Ormond | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Street. He is one of those people that you will remember. There are a | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
lot of people who have been commenting on the Go Fund page that | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
they met him at somebody's random party and they remembered who he | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
was. He was a big, loud, loving individual who would do anything for | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
anyone. He works for Crisis every Christmas and has done for as long | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
as I have known him. He works as a medical advice giving medical care | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
to homeless people that come to see him. He worked for many years with | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
the Terence Higgins Trust which is a HIV charity and used to promote | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
sexual health awareness and HIV testing amongst in the community. He | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
himself is a doctor, who cares for patients. He is an infectious | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
disease registrar looking after some very unwell patients. He spent his | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
life, he has always given his time and, he has always cared for so many | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
people and it is only right that people who don't know him should see | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
that and see what a wonderful person he is because he really is. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
People have been so generous. When are you hoping he will be back? So, | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
he is having some surgery today from what I understand and then they're | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
looking to try and wake him up in the next five days or so. Once they | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
are happy that he is medically stable, we can start the | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
repatriation process which will take a few days. I'm hoping in ten days | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
time I will be able to share on Facebook and Twitter that he is | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
back. We have had some wonderful consultants from St Mary's Hospital | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
who are looking into how they can get him home and they have been | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
giving support and advice about what we can do and they have beenly aing | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
with the hospital in Las Vegas as well. Again, the generosity of | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
people who don't know hill will hopefully get him home safely. What | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
do you say to the people who have been giving? I'm so eternally | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
grateful. I can't explain how important this person is to me. So, | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
we're all so grateful. Thank you. I hope he comes back | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
soon. Thank you. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt used | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
unverified and unpublished study data to back his policy plans | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
for a seven-day NHS, Last July, Mr Hunt said 6,000 people | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
die every year because there is no proper seven-day | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
service in hospitals. This figure was then used regularly | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
by the Government in its argument E-mails show one of the paper's | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
authors was unhappy When it was published the research | :06:21. | :06:35. | |
suggested there was 11,000 deaths, but the authors said there was no | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
proven link to staffing levels. This comes after junior doctors have | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
announced that there will be another This is Mr Hunt | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
speaking last summer. We want to continue paying premium | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
rates for weekends and we don't think this will reduce the pay bill, | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
but when you turn medicine into a Monday to Friday profession, you end | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
up with catastrophic consequences for patients and in 200 #3rks the | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
then Government changed the contract to give consultants the right to | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
say, "We're not going to do any work at weekends." The result is now if | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
you are admitted on a Sunday, you are 15% more likely to die than if | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
you were admitted on a Wednesday and we have about 6,000 avoidable deaths | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
every year and that's something that doctors, passionately want to | :07:24. | :07:23. | |
change. Well let's try and make | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
sense of all of this, our health editor Hugh Pym | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
is with some junior doctors Hugh, explain what's going on. Well, | :07:29. | :07:40. | |
first of all, Joanna, you can see a small demonstration behind me of | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
junior doctors at the Department of Health. They handed in a petition | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
earlier. They say 50,000 signatures were on it. Supporting their call | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
for the controversial contract not to be imposed. That was announced a | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
couple of weeks ago, that their new contract was going to be imposed | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
because negotiations had stalled. The Government's point of view was | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
they had made a lot of concessions and they had to get on with imposing | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
a new contract which they thought was better for doctors all-round. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
What these e-mails show is that some of the figures that have been talked | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
about in this debate bear scrutiny and you heard the clip from Jeremy | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Hunt, the Health Secretary, using the figure of 6,000 excess deaths. | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
That is the number of deaths of people admitted to hospitals at | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
weekends who die within 30 days, compared with the number in the | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
middle of the week. It turns out that 6,000 figure at the time, it | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
was not possible to find out where it came from, journalists including | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
BBC colleagues rang up and the Department of Health couldn't say | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
where it had come from. And the e-mails reveal, confusion in | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
Whitehall as they tried to, if you like, work out where it had come | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
from. One e-mail to another says, "We need to give some sort of | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
assessment that, you know, it is very difficult to know where that's | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
going to come from?" Last August, the Department of Health did put out | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
a note saying the 6,000 figure had come from academic research | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
published a couple of years previously. But then a month later, | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
a new academic study was published suggesting there were 11,000 excess | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
deaths between Friday and Monday. The suspicion always was, had some | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
of the academic data sort of got out and been leaked and then only | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
partially represented? Jeremy Hunt is making clear, his people are | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
making clear, that the figures came from Sir Bruce Keogh, the medical | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Director of NHS England, that he passed them on and therefore, they | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
came from a perfectly good source. But it does raise a lot of questions | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
about the use of data, the use of statistics and the UK's Statistics | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
Authority got in touch with the Department of Health to say, "You | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
must make clear where this figure comes from." | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
The Justice Secretary Michael Gove - who's campaigning for Britain | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
to leave the European Union has claimed that David Cameron's EU | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
Let's get more from our political correspondent Chris Mason. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
Let's plunge into a ravine of legal complexity. It involves this | :10:15. | :10:25. | |
organisation, European Court of Justice. It has the job of work out | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
if governments are institutions have broken European law and they can | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
subject those to challenge in front of judges. Now, the Treaties of the | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
European Union are the sacred texts of the organisation and Michael | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Gove's argument is that because the agreement that was | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
Gove's argument is that because the by the Prime Minister in Brussels | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
hasn't yet been set down in the treaties then perhaps it could be | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
challenged in the court and therefore, isn't as watertight | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
challenged in the court and the Prime Minister might have been | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
implying. Michael Gove has been talking to Laura Kuenssberg. The | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Prime Minister negotiated in good faith and he has achieved what I | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
consider to be an improvement on the status quo. However, it is also | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
important that we recognise that until there is what the Prime | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Minister has called on full-on treaty change that the European | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Court of Justice is not bound by this agreement. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
So, there is Michael Gove with that prospective. He speaks, of course, | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
as Justice Secretary, someone in charge of all things legal in | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
England and Wales. Not a lawyer himself. But a bit like that old | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
adage that if you put laugh a dozen lawyers in a lift, you will get a | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
dozen opinions, there is disagreement about this. The | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Government was very, very, very quick to react. Downing Street this | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
morning shortly after 6am when we first broadcast this interview | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
saying no, Michael Gove is wrong and they wield out a former | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Attorney-General in Dominic Grieve to make that argument. I didn't | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
really understand what he was saying because the main thrust of what he | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
is saying is wrong. He was suggesting that the agreement that | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
the Prime Minister had arrived at with the over 27 member states could | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
just be ignored by the Court of Justice in Luxembourg. That is just | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
panl wrong. It has force of law from the time that we announced that | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
we're staying within the EU, we will be able to raise it in any court | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
case and the court will have to look at it, will have to take it into | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
account, and will have to interpret the treaties in the light of the | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
agreement. And in due course it will be incorm rated into the treaties. | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
More from Michael Gove on that interview throughout the day. Some | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
interesting remarks about immigration to come a little later. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Let's step back from the legal weeds and thickets which are if nothing | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
else rather complicated to the human story at the heart of this. The | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
difficult decision that Michael Gove had to take given his long-standing | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
personal friendship with the Prime Minister and the Chancellor and yet | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
deciding in the end to come down on the other side of the argument in | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
this EU referendum. His wife, Sarah Vine has written her column in The | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Daily Mail, the torture of watching my husband choose between his | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
beliefs and his old friend the Prime Minister, saying he had been locked | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
in an internal struggle of a agonising proportions, mentioning | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
that the Prime Minister and his wife were at the Gove's wedding in 2001. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Joanna, I will read you this paragraph, she says, "My husband has | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
many odd and occasionally irritating obsessions. Obscure American | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
presidents, and second-hand bookshops. He also has an irrational | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
eversion to house plants and quiche but Trump is disliked for the | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
European Union, the back scratching the deceit and the endless | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
bureaucracy, the unstoppable march of European federalism and the | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
erosion of British sovereignty." It is on that point of sovereignty that | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
Michael Gove is making the argument about the role of the European Court | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
of Justice. Thank you very much. As Donald Trump wins another contest | :14:02. | :14:11. | |

However despite current efforts, local MP Chris Philp, | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
is calling for the police to do more. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Our reporter, Ashley John-Baptiste went to find out more. | :18:39. | :18:47. | |
When I found out what happened, I was really angry. Why my cat? People | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
are scared and worried for the safety of their family pets. They | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
often know people whose much loved family cat has been taken and Bute | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
late in this way. So people are concerned. One of the owners of the | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
first victims treated me and I felt like I would myself in his shoes and | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
it must be horrible. It is something I have never has to happen to | :19:19. | :19:19. | |
anyone. For more than two years in parts of | :19:20. | :19:35. | |
south London, a number of pet cats are thought to have not just been | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
killed, but deliberately mutilated. Police have so far failed to catch | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
the killer who has caused heartache to the owners. Stacey is a cat lover | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
who lives in the area. It is not her real name. She has asked us to keep | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
her identity secret because she is working with others to try to catch | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
those responsible. She has co-founded a charity to investigate | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
the killings. We initially discovered cats who had their heads | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
and tails removed. Subsequent to that we had cats who had either | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
their heads or tails removed. We have had tour they have been slit | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
open and mutilated. Wayne's was brutally killed. His wife found its | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
dead body. She found her lying there. She didn't go near her or | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
touch her, she didn't know what injuries she had. She just went off | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
to get a towel to wrap her in. It was when I picked her up I realised | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
her head was missing. And her tail, about 30 seconds after I picked her | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
up, I was so shocked her head wasn't there. About 30 seconds afterwards, | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
I realised her tail wasn't there either. Then I knew it wasn't an | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
accident. A petition for the police to do more to catch the killer has | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
received backing from 40,000 people online, including lots of famous | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
faces. It is quite horrifying. A pet is a member of the family, as far as | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
I am concerned. It is bad enough losing a pet is too accidental | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
circumstances. To find somebody is actually doing this is horrible. We | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
have discovered them he is enticing them with fresh, raw chicken. He is | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
probably strangling them and doing the mutilations, either at the point | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
of death or just after. So he is not mutilating live cats, as far as we | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
can tell, but some of them are so close, we're not sure. It is | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
horrible detail. The local MP in the area these attacks are happening, | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
once the police to do more. People are worried, people are keeping | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
their animals inside. People are worried what happens if the cat goes | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
outside. The person behind this is a sick, sadistic individual, so it is | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
a concern knowing this person is in the community. What do you think of | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
the meta-'s current effort? They have made a start, but we need a | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
task force particularly dedicated to find out who is doing this. There | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
has been a great immunity responds in terms of putting out leaflets and | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
getting the word out. Lots of volunteers, people offering to help, | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
people offering to profile for us, do lots of things to try and catch | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
this person. On Thursday morning, I let Leo out, as I would do normally | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
and he never came back. Amber says she feels devastated by the loss of | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
her son's cat, Leo. He was found dead and mutilated a few streets | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
away. He wasn't one to wonder. I cannot understand. He wouldn't go up | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
to people he didn't know. I cannot understand how this person has | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
managed to get him. My mum told me there is a man going round cutting | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
cat's tales of. I got a really, really angry. He was bought for my | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
little boy for his birthday. He loved the cats, we all did. Why? Why | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
are little boy, because he was. When you take in an animal, they become | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
part of your family. He was the most important thing I have ever had. I | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
was so happy my dad and my mum bought him, gave him to me for my | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
birthday. We are in a park where one of the mutilated cats were found. Is | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
this a typical place where these bodies are dumped? Yes and no, the | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
cat from July 2014 was found here. He was mutilated. The one in 2015 | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
was found in the woods near her home. But in the main, most of them | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
are found dumped near their homes in suburban areas, rather than hidden | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
away in woodland areas. How do you know it is one person responsible? | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
The veteran has conducted the postmortems believes it is one | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
person. Alongside supporting the petition, James has found another | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
way of helping. We are trying to raise as much awareness as possible | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
to try to catch the killer. It is upsetting for families, so we have | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
tried to offer tickets to anyone, or a group of people who can help us | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
find the killer. Now we have the Ashes of her remains. You have the | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
Ashes? Yes, we have the Ashes. She normally sits in her favourite place | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
in the house. Which is on the cupboard in the kitchen. | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
And the RSPCA say if you suspect something or have had your cat go | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
They've also issued a statement saying, "Tests will be carried out | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
by specialist vets and forensic experts to see if we can find out | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
It is not always appropriate to publicise the details | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
of investigations as this may compromise their effectiveness. | :25:23. | :25:39. | |
And the Met Police in Croydon have also told us this, | :25:40. | :25:57. | |
Let ring you breaking news about Jeremy Clarkson. He has issued an | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
apology to the former producer he plunged after settling a ?100,000 | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
racial discrimination and personal injury claim. You may remember the | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
incident, it is what led to Jeremy Clarkson leaving Top Gear and the | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
BBC. It was at the end of filming when Jeremy Clarkson was not given | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
steak. There had been a dispute between the two of them, which | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
ultimately resulted in Jeremy Clarkson leaving the BBC. A BBC | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
investigation found Jeremy Clarkson had subjected the harassment to a | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
32nd physical attack after what was called a sustained verbal Thai raid. | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
-- tirade. The case went through with the producer's lawyers | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
launching a racial discrimination and personal injury claim against | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
Jeremy Clarkson. If they hadn't settled, the next step would have | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
been an employment tribunal and an adjudicator and three members. But | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
they settled and Jeremy Clarkson has issued an apology. The real talking | :27:14. | :27:22. | |
point today has been the report about violence aggression and bad | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
language at football matches. but when its parents | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
causing the problems at their children's games | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
the issue perhaps becomes Competitive mums and dads | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
at football matches have become so violent that the chairman | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
of Surrey Youth League has warned During one weekend at matches | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
in the county, Graham Ekins, said he heard of two parents | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
fighting on the touchline, headbutting and abuse | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
towards linesmen, and a referee being threatened with stabbing | :27:48. | :27:49. | |
by a parent. In a letter written to clubs, | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
Graham said, "The level of outright violence, abuse and | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
disrespect has to stop. Earlier I spoke to Paul Kirton, | :27:55. | :28:14. | |
who is director of the organisation Paul said he has heard often | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
of problems at youth games and explained what happens | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
when complaints are made. To be fair, there is a process in | :28:21. | :28:35. | |
place. If there is behaviour you feel is unacceptable, whether it is | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
verbal abuse, violence etc, there is a formal process you can follow via | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
the county FA. Just document it with the county FA. Some of the | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
frustrations lie in that, that process can occur, but maybe at | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
times we have many people report back they never hear back from | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
putting the report in, other than OK, we will investigate it. The only | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
way it will be stamped out completely if we start to self | :29:06. | :29:08. | |
police it and say it isn't acceptable any more. Should parents | :29:09. | :29:15. | |
be banned if they behave badly? That is already in place at the moment. I | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
know a lot of leagues around the United Kingdom, that is what I will | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
do. They have got to see it first hand. We have a lot of people from | :29:24. | :29:29. | |
leagues and the county FA, let's get them down to the games at the | :29:30. | :29:31. | |
weekends I get them watching and observing. I know in relation to | :29:32. | :29:39. | |
Kick It Out have something on their website in relation to racism. There | :29:40. | :29:47. | |
should be some think the verbal and abuse of the weekend that the county | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
FA. If it is easier to report, I think people will report it. We get | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
in a region of 900 reports every weekend from around the UK. But the | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
flow of the complaint is very, very similar. Somebody who went a bit | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
over passionate, or over the top and it has either resulted in pushing, | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
shoving or a sideline slanging match. We have had a statement from | :30:15. | :30:21. | |
the FA saying more extreme incidents as referee assaults remain few and | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
far between. An estimated 1.2 million games a season, the reports | :30:28. | :30:35. | |
amounted to 1%. But there is no room for complacency and the FA remains | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
vigilant and takes the view one serious assault is one too many. | :30:40. | :30:40. | |
That is through from the FA. You've been sending | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
us in your comments. Philipa on e-mail, "My girls play | :30:44. | :30:45. | |
in an all girls league and we have never heard any bad language | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
at all from parents. All that is shouted | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
is support and encouragement. Girls football is played the way | :30:51. | :30:52. | |
football should be played." They are meant to be role models | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
but if they can't respect each other on the pitch those watching | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
will only do as they see on TV." Mark on text, "Football should | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
have a sin bin like they have in rugby." Anthony on e-mail, | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
"What do you expect? The howling and chanting crowds | :31:07. | :31:08. | |
at big matches makes the parents at kids matches think | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
it's the way to behave. Sadly a lot of football fans are not | :31:12. | :31:13. | |
that bright and think It's another sign of the demise | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
of decent behaviour in our society." "One of the main reasons for this | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
is due to games being refereed by well meaning helpers not refs | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
because most refs refuse to take junior games because of the parents | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
behaviour not the youths" .Brian Brian | :31:28. | :31:37. | |
on e-mail, "My grandchildren play I've witnessed outrageous behaviour | :31:38. | :31:38. | |
from parents at the football Unfortunately football attracts | :31:39. | :31:43. | |
a yob element amongst parents that It simply mirrors what happens | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
at senior level." Karl on e-mail, | :31:47. | :31:53. | |
"In my experience there is plenty on the sideline in Sunday junior | :31:54. | :31:55. | |
rugby, but never violent and always respectful of the opposition | :31:56. | :31:59. | |
and the referee." Michael Gove who is campaigning for | :32:00. | :32:09. | |
Britain to leave the EU has claimed that David Cameron's renegotiation | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
deal with EU leaders may not be legally binding. Number Ten has | :32:13. | :32:17. | |
rejected that claim and in the last few minutes the Attorney-General, | :32:18. | :32:19. | |
Jeremy Wright has been explaining why. | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
The job of the European Court is to take account of to interpret, | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
agreements between the 28 nation states. This is one of those | :32:29. | :32:32. | |
agreements and angreement with legal force just as the treaties have | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
legal force and that's not just my opinion, that's the opinion of the | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
lawyers for this Government, the lawyers for the European Union and I | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
suspect, the mat jort of lawyers beyond. Taking it into account is | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
very different from being bound by the agreement, would you not agree? | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
Well, there is no real difference here between what the Court of | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
Justice, the European Court of Justice of the European Union has to | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
do in relation to treaties and what it has to do in relation to this | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
agreement. Its job is to take account of what those agreements and | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
what the participants in the agreements say that the agreements | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
mean. This is a way of demonstrating to the court, I think with some | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
considerable clarity, what is meant by terms for example like, "Ever | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
closer union." Something of huge importance to the United Kingdom. | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
What we have got in this deal, is I think, a great deal of clarity about | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
whatever closer union really means. The European Court of Justice stance | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
above nation states there, is the point that Michael Gove | :33:30. | :33:33. | |
above nation states there, is the and until those States actually sign | :33:34. | :33:33. | |
a treaty then it is and until those States actually sign | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
interpretation. There could be challenges? | :33:38. | :33:38. | |
interpretation. There could be maybe cases and we all understand | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
that. There could be when maybe cases and we all understand | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
treaty change, but it is important to recognise that the status of this | :33:46. | :33:51. | |
agreement is not of no consequence, it is of huge consequence. This is | :33:52. | :33:54. | |
an agreement which the court will be bound to take account of just as | :33:55. | :33:58. | |
they are bound to take account of the wordings of the treties, this | :33:59. | :34:02. | |
agreement sets out the wordings of the treties, this | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
28 nation states want to happen and the court has | :34:07. | :34:08. | |
28 nation states want to happen and that. The court doesn't make the law | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
up. It interprets what the member states agreement. Does it have the | :34:12. | :34:18. | |
same legal strength as a treaty? It has similar legal strength. The | :34:19. | :34:22. | |
court is obliged to look at it and take account of what it says and in | :34:23. | :34:26. | |
just the same way they take account of what the treaties say. That's why | :34:27. | :34:27. | |
this is significant and so important to us. | :34:28. | :34:36. | |
That was Jeremy Wright the joerj. -- | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
Attorney-General, Donald Trump has won the Republican | :34:41. | :34:54. | |
caucus in the US state of Nevada, | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
inching him a step closer to becoming the party's | :34:58. | :34:58. | |
candidate for President. Mr Trump is the front | :34:59. | :35:00. | |
runner for the nomination, despite some of his | :35:01. | :35:02. | |
divisive policies. His call for a temporary ban | :35:03. | :35:04. | |
on Muslims entering the US caused controversy around the world, | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
but it's been popular Mr Trump says it's a matter | :35:08. | :35:08. | |
of security. His critics say it's bigoted | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
and plays on what's called voter The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan | :35:12. | :35:14. | |
in the US, went to Mobile Alabama to discuss the issues | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
with an unlikely pairing - Mustafa, a refugee from Syria, | :35:19. | :35:20. | |
and Steve Weller, an American Donald J Trump is calling for a | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. | :35:27. | :35:27. | |
Until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
going on. People think all Muslims are Isis. | :35:33. | :35:39. | |
It is a big problem. Not only are what they are saying about Muslims | :35:40. | :35:46. | |
wrong and shameful, it is dangerous. Everybody needs to feel safe in the | :35:47. | :35:54. | |
home place and abroad. Any official that is responsible for bringing | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
people in, that they do not know if they are radical Islamic terrorists | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
will bear responsibility for the consequences of their action. The | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
political realm in which we live right now is poisoned. It is deeply | :36:08. | :36:09. | |
toxic. In defence of Donald Trump his | :36:10. | :36:29. | |
statement was not to just eliminate all refugees, he wants to put a halt | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
to figure out what is going on. That's basically his words. I don't | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
think he really wants to stop people like these folks. But he wants to | :36:41. | :36:45. | |
for now, put a temporary ban on all Muslims, so that's anyone who is of | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
the Muslim faith. That is veriks trem and discriminating. That's | :36:50. | :36:55. | |
extreme, but then there is the radical Muslim that infiltrates | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
which could be a problem. I believe that Mr Trump is ignorant of the | :37:00. | :37:04. | |
facts. Came who came here as a refugee, you can ask this Government | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
to check the history of their life for seven years ago what they did. | :37:09. | :37:11. | |
So they know everything they did before, even us, when we came, we | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
had to get our papers and everything. We did like when we were | :37:15. | :37:25. | |
going to the UAE. Safety first. Safety first. One of the big things | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
in the debate that I struggle with is the fact that I think that the | :37:30. | :37:32. | |
community, the political community, which many people are following, say | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
that safety and compassion are at opposite ends of the spectrum. And I | :37:40. | :37:48. | |
believe that's a false argument. Donald Trump wants to ban all Muslim | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
people. Islam means peace. Our religion means peace. Our Koran | :37:54. | :37:58. | |
doesn't have anything about killing people or killing anyone or being a | :37:59. | :38:03. | |
terrorist. It is a certain segment of your religion that at the refer | :38:04. | :38:08. | |
to as radical Islam, Isis, I've heard that name. I've heard Taliban. | :38:09. | :38:15. | |
I've heard all these names that we have been told by the news medias | :38:16. | :38:21. | |
here and the politicians and others that they are out to harm the West. | :38:22. | :38:27. | |
Donald Trump, it doesn't matter if it took ten years, he just doesn't | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
want you to be here. The fear is if it is happening there, and these | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
people that are chopping heads off over there, could happen here and it | :38:39. | :38:44. | |
has got to be protected before heads start getting chopped off here. | :38:45. | :38:50. | |
Statements made on a political framework to a large broad | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
population need to be weighed very, very carefully because they have an | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
impact for a long, long time. What he has said and what Donald Trump | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
said and other politicians are saying will never go away. Once | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
those words are released around the world, they have an impact on the | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
soul of every person that hears them and I would say that, man was a | :39:12. | :39:17. | |
fool. There is always a solution for that and I know like by | :39:18. | :39:22. | |
communicating with American people, I see what they are feeling about | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
me. There is always a solution. That is to be remembered. There is always | :39:29. | :39:33. | |
a solution. That's a good word. Always. | :39:34. | :39:38. | |

It is the Brit awards tonight. Adele is expected to win album of the | :39:47. | :39:56. | |
year. Five of the almost 50 British | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
nominees are black or from ethnic minorities and one of those was in a | :40:02. | :40:03. | |
main category. Earlier I spoke to past BRIT Award | :40:04. | :40:05. | |
winner, Dwayne Vincent, better known as Megaman | :40:06. | :40:08. | |
from So Solid Crew, who picked up the gong for best | :40:09. | :40:10. | |
video back in 2002. He told me that he thought black | :40:11. | :40:12. | |
talent was being overlooked, especially as British | :40:13. | :40:15. | |
grime artists had made I'm not sure if artists | :40:16. | :40:16. | |
are hung up on it I'm not sure the artists | :40:17. | :40:28. | |
are that crazy upset, but it would have been | :40:29. | :40:36. | |
nice to have young black Why do you think it isn't | :40:37. | :40:38. | |
happening at the BRITs? I'm not quite sure, but I can say | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
that, back when we were in the game like, very hard and in record | :40:43. | :40:50. | |
deals, it was very easy because I was an extrovert | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
and I think, I can't say it was easy, but I would definitely | :40:56. | :40:57. | |
say the competition So our playing field, | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
we had to go a lot more glossier and a lot more | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
extrovertish and you know, and really give that | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
international feel straightaway. I'm not sure why, but it is a bit | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
of a let down, but hey, I'm sure the artists are OK | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
and everyone is fine and we will get on and there will be | :41:18. | :41:20. | |
more award shows It has got the issue | :41:21. | :41:22. | |
being talked and looked at. The organisers say they take | :41:23. | :41:35. | |
the issue seriously, but say the BRITs tend | :41:36. | :41:37. | |
to go to those who have achieved the highest | :41:38. | :41:39. | |
levels at chart success, Yeah, in some sense, | :41:40. | :41:41. | |
but I mean, like the MOBOs, the MOBOs sees a glitch | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
in what is happening in the music industry and they actually, | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
you know, create another nomination, you know, | :41:50. | :41:50. | |
another nomination for it and that's fine, it doesn't need | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
to be there every year, but sometimes we do need | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
a fresh category, you know, I should say and I think | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
grime should have a category or even Krept and Konan | :42:01. | :42:05. | |
should have some category. It will be a great show and salute | :42:06. | :42:12. | |
to the artists who are nominated, we will look forward | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
to next year and hopefully we'll get | :42:18. | :42:19. | |
our presence shown. That's something that the organisers | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
are saying they are looking at, whether it is time to include | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
different genres like grime What about refreshing | :42:28. | :42:29. | |
as well the people who actually are doing the voting | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
because it is just over 1,000... Journalists, artists, | :42:36. | :42:37. | |
heads of labels, they are saying in future they will look | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
at the diversity of those people doing the voting to try to make sure | :42:42. | :42:44. | |
that there is better I think it is definitely the right | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
thing because like I said, like I said before in 16 years ago, | :42:50. | :42:59. | |
there wasn't this much young artists, | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
black artists, you know, Asian artists or just young | :43:05. | :43:10. | |
kids in the business, we didn't have so much of it and now | :43:11. | :43:12. | |
a days loads of us are doing loads of things, it is only fair | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
that the UK does shine a light on that side of the music industry | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
and give it its fair due. That's what I feel. | :43:20. | :43:28. | |
You have been sending in your views on the report of the serial police | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
killer. A viewer says, "Where is the money coming from for this | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
taskforce?" Janet says, "I am an animal lover and I would love to see | :43:39. | :43:41. | |
this person given a long sentence when caught." Another viewer says, | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
"Animal killers often harm on to harming other people." Thank you for | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
your comments on that and your thoughts on football. Thank you for | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
your company today. I will see at the same time tomorrow. Have a | :43:55. | :43:56. | |
lovely afternoon. Bye-bye. So here we are at the starting line | :43:57. | :44:05. | |
of this year's Sport Relief games. | :44:06. | :44:10. |
