:00:52. > :01:00.I was banned from Manchester for having the wrong opinions as a gay

:01:01. > :01:04.man, I think. I was supposed to talk about this feminism have a problem

:01:05. > :01:06.with free speech, and both sides of the debate were banned. They did not

:01:07. > :01:13.want the discussion to be had. Welcome to the programme,

:01:14. > :01:17.we're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until

:01:18. > :01:18.11am this morning. We'll keep you across the latest

:01:19. > :01:22.breaking and developing stories. Later we'll bring you

:01:23. > :01:25.the extraordinary story of two long-lost sisters who spent 35 years

:01:26. > :01:28.looking for each other only to discover they'd been playing

:01:29. > :01:30.online bingo together It is an incredible story -

:01:31. > :01:39.meet them at around 10:30am. You can get in touch

:01:40. > :01:42.in the usual ways - If you text, you will be charged

:01:47. > :01:48.the programme online wherever you are via the BBC News app

:01:49. > :01:54.or our website bbc.co.uk/victoria. They're one of the biggest,

:01:55. > :01:56.richest and most important sporting bodies in the world and today Fifa,

:01:57. > :02:01.who are effectively in charge of world football, will

:02:02. > :02:05.get a new president. Their motto is "for the game -

:02:06. > :02:08.for the world". But following allegation

:02:09. > :02:10.after allegation of bribery and corruption their reputation has

:02:11. > :02:14.been severely tarnished. Elections take place

:02:15. > :02:17.today to find a new man - and it will be a man -

:02:18. > :02:21.to become the new president of Fifa. That man will replace Sepp Blatter

:02:22. > :02:24.who stood down as the corruption crisis threatened to bring

:02:25. > :02:28.down the organisation. This is the scene live in Zurich

:02:29. > :02:31.as the special congress to elect The two front runners,

:02:32. > :02:39.Sheikh Salman and Gianni Infantino, are both claiming they have over

:02:40. > :02:52.100 pledges of support, Voters have a choice of five

:02:53. > :02:58.contenders. The frontrunner is Sheikh Salman from Bahrain, the head

:02:59. > :03:02.of Asian football. He has been a member of Fifa's ruling executive

:03:03. > :03:07.committee since 2013 and is the bookmakers favourite. His big idea

:03:08. > :03:10.is to split Fifa in two, the business side would deal with the

:03:11. > :03:19.commercial issues and handle all the money.

:03:20. > :03:21.It is to stop executives making self-interested decisions and,

:03:22. > :03:24.as has been seen recently, putting the hand in the Fifa piggybank.

:03:25. > :03:27.He is not without his issues: he has been accused of human rights abuses

:03:28. > :03:30.related to the pro-democracy demonstrations in Bahrain four years

:03:31. > :03:33.The uprising was part of the Arab Spring,

:03:34. > :03:36.Specifically, he is accused of heading a committee

:03:37. > :03:39.which identified footballers that took part in the demonstrations.

:03:40. > :03:42.He says the committee was never formally constituted,

:03:43. > :03:57.These are false, nasty lies that have been repeated again and again.

:03:58. > :04:01.People are talking about a committee, identifying players etc.

:04:02. > :04:11.Do you think that people would need to identify a national team player?

:04:12. > :04:16.Do I need to get involved in that? It's like asking the FA or the chair

:04:17. > :04:17.of the FA to come, please, can you identify David Beckham Steven

:04:18. > :04:19.Gerrard? He may be out in front,

:04:20. > :04:22.but this man, Gianni Infantino, In fact, he has big momentum,

:04:23. > :04:26.he believes that he can win. He is one of the leading figures

:04:27. > :04:30.at Uefa, the European Federation, and is positioning himself

:04:31. > :04:41.as someone that the world can trust. First of all, if somebody has stolen

:04:42. > :04:46.money, he has to go to jail. That is clear for me, so I applaud all the

:04:47. > :04:51.investigations by public authorities who are acting in this respect. When

:04:52. > :04:59.it comes to the running of football, this is our job. We have to show we

:05:00. > :05:02.can deserve it. He only looked to stand after his boss, Michel

:05:03. > :05:07.Platini, was charged by the ethics committee for taking ?1.3 million

:05:08. > :05:11.from seven latter. The genie says he owned the money, it is legitimate,

:05:12. > :05:19.but they have both been banned for eight years.

:05:20. > :05:21.Infantino support from Europe and South America, part of his pitch

:05:22. > :05:25.is to expand the World Cup to 40 teams, ensuring more smaller nations

:05:26. > :05:27.can participate and ultimately he thinks he can turn Fifa around.

:05:28. > :05:29.Critics say that he is Michel Platini's man.

:05:30. > :05:31.More to the point, there is plans to massively expand

:05:32. > :05:34.Questions remain about where the money comes

:05:35. > :05:38.Next up, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, brother of the King of Jordan,

:05:39. > :05:47.He thinks this is the federation's last chance to get it right.

:05:48. > :05:50.He knows all about fighting Fifa elections, he lost

:05:51. > :05:52.against Sepp Blatter last May, but he is by getting significant

:05:53. > :06:07.Lets go, Fifa! This time around, he thinks he can win. It is the last

:06:08. > :06:12.chance to save the organisation and to get it back in the right shape,

:06:13. > :06:13.and to focus on my real goal, total development of football around the

:06:14. > :06:14.world. This time Europe are

:06:15. > :06:16.backing Gianni Infantino. still win, but many point

:06:17. > :06:20.to the fact that Sheikh Selman has the support of the home

:06:21. > :06:22.continent of Ali, and the more realistic role may

:06:23. > :06:25.see him play kingmaker, choosing between Sheikh Salman

:06:26. > :06:27.and Gianni Infantino after the first On policy, he would like to

:06:28. > :06:32.quadruple the amount that member believing it will

:06:33. > :06:40.increase sustainability. He also wants the money properly

:06:41. > :06:45.accounted for. former political prisoner,

:06:46. > :06:48.who spent time in jail with Nelson Mandela

:06:49. > :06:50.during the apartheid era South He is currently the Fifa envoy

:06:51. > :06:55.to Israel and Palestine. He wants to make a difference

:06:56. > :06:58.but he failed to get the support of African football leaders

:06:59. > :07:01.and he has been criticised that has led many to question

:07:02. > :07:05.whether he can even make it The final candidate,

:07:06. > :07:10.Jerome Champagne. The Frenchman believes that he can

:07:11. > :07:14.do better than many people expect. He is a former adviser

:07:15. > :07:16.to Sepp Blatter. He was forced out of Fifa

:07:17. > :07:20.after a series of disagreements. His knowledge of world football

:07:21. > :07:24.and power broking is beyond doubt, turning that into votes

:07:25. > :07:28.can be the tricky part. He has defended Sepp Blatter's

:07:29. > :07:32.record in the past, leaving many to question how close

:07:33. > :07:39.he is to the deposed Fifa president. Jerome Champagne insist that

:07:40. > :07:41.Sepp Blatter did many good things, like making sure smaller nations

:07:42. > :07:44.were well-financed and protected, especially given the huge wealth

:07:45. > :07:47.and power in European football. Large sections of the vote have

:07:48. > :07:50.already been divided up among national and regional lines,

:07:51. > :07:53.the swing states of the Caribbean Candidates are now going all out

:07:54. > :08:08.to secure backing as they attempt With us now to chew the fat on this

:08:09. > :08:11.is Deborah Wise Unger from Transparency International,

:08:12. > :08:13.who worked with Fifa on its anti-corruption

:08:14. > :08:15.policies back in 2011, and Gerry Sutcliffe,

:08:16. > :08:17.the former Labour Sports Minister who was involved in the England

:08:18. > :08:26.2018 World Cup bid. Thank you both for joining us.

:08:27. > :08:31.Deborah, is Fifa on the right path to redemption? I think it is too

:08:32. > :08:35.soon to say. The reform package that will be more important than the

:08:36. > :08:38.presidential election could help, it is in the right direction, but I

:08:39. > :08:43.think it is too soon to say that redemption is there. What would you

:08:44. > :08:51.like to see in the reform package? It does not go far enough for you?

:08:52. > :08:53.No, it does not have any independent oversight. Transparency

:08:54. > :08:58.International has always said that Fifa is so tarnished, the world does

:08:59. > :09:03.not trust it, it needs to have independent expert, people of high

:09:04. > :09:07.renown, to oversee the reform process. That is not on the table up

:09:08. > :09:17.a moment. Both Gerry Sutcliffe, the world does not trust Fifa, Debra

:09:18. > :09:23.says, would you agree? Yes, but you can't scrap it and start again, it

:09:24. > :09:26.has to operate from within. But with transparency and openness, as

:09:27. > :09:30.Deborah says. We need a reform package that means people can regain

:09:31. > :09:35.the trust not just from the fans but everyone involved in football. Will

:09:36. > :09:42.it go far enough if there is no independent oversight? Whoever wins,

:09:43. > :09:47.and I favour in -- in fancy know, has to start the process of ringing

:09:48. > :09:50.in a transparent and open project so that people are confident whether it

:09:51. > :09:55.is a World Cup bid or the development of football, it is being

:09:56. > :10:00.done properly. There is a mechanism which needs to be in place so that

:10:01. > :10:04.people can see what has taken place. Why Gianni Infantino for you? He is

:10:05. > :10:13.well known in European football, he has a good track record, he can

:10:14. > :10:16.deliver the goods. Alongside this is the police investigations, the

:10:17. > :10:25.judicial investigations. There is a long way to go. Who do you want to

:10:26. > :10:32.see? Out of the five, is to see who would do it without independent

:10:33. > :10:39.oversight. They have different problems, Infantino is too close to

:10:40. > :10:45.Platini, Salman comes from an autocratic kingdom, Champagne owes a

:10:46. > :10:48.lot about football but also has links to Blatter. I don't think any

:10:49. > :10:54.of them is a clean broom. Prince Ali has endorsed the idea of an

:10:55. > :10:59.independent oversight, he has got a team together. He said Kofi Anand,

:11:00. > :11:03.the former UN Secretary General, could run that team and see fever

:11:04. > :11:10.through the reform. We believe that would be a good idea -- C Fifa

:11:11. > :11:15.through the reform. One of the real problems is that Fifa has really

:11:16. > :11:21.lost the trust of the fans. We did a survey, 69% said they had lost trust

:11:22. > :11:27.in Fifa, but 50% said that Fifa could restore its reputation. There

:11:28. > :11:33.is hope, if it is the right things. Gerry says you can't scrap it and

:11:34. > :11:38.start again? It would be difficult, he is right. At the moment it is

:11:39. > :11:43.trying hard to maintain its status as a victim in the FBI

:11:44. > :11:50.investigations and allegations and insight. We don't know what the

:11:51. > :11:55.Swiss investigation which is ongoing will bring. If it continues to be a

:11:56. > :12:00.victim, it itself will not face prosecution. The Swiss have the

:12:01. > :12:03.authority to come in and scrap it, but they need a really good reason

:12:04. > :12:11.to do that will stop I think Jerry has a point, how you take away the

:12:12. > :12:14.reform body that runs world food ball and replace it with something

:12:15. > :12:19.else, you would put something in pretty much the same strip show.

:12:20. > :12:27.Gerry, every football fan has a view on what should be done. Why is it so

:12:28. > :12:30.difficult, how has it come to this? It has been a long, unhappy

:12:31. > :12:36.existence over the last ten years or so. If you scrap it, where do you

:12:37. > :12:39.bring in people who know the game? A balance has to be struck where

:12:40. > :12:44.people who know the game work alongside independent people who can

:12:45. > :12:48.be transparent. Loads of people know the game, why is it so difficult to

:12:49. > :12:53.find the right people? You say that, but administrators RA special breed

:12:54. > :12:58.in working out how a game can develop. The International Olympic

:12:59. > :13:04.Committee had to revitalise itself over a period of years. Revamp the

:13:05. > :13:08.organisation, independent transparency, but a small step

:13:09. > :13:12.forward will be the new president today. Lots of people are getting in

:13:13. > :13:15.touch on social media, Trevor on Facebook says scrap the whole

:13:16. > :13:21.corrupt organisation, Peter says all the candidates what the money to be

:13:22. > :13:28.accounted for, says it all, want to eat, Fifa is for the game, for the

:13:29. > :13:32.money. But you have individual food all associations which Fifa is made

:13:33. > :13:36.up from, if you scrap did you would have to go through the national

:13:37. > :13:41.games, it would take too long. We need something to happen quickly to

:13:42. > :13:46.regain trust in football. One thing would be to have all the senior

:13:47. > :13:52.people list that acid and interests. Then you would see if they were

:13:53. > :13:56.enriching themselves. That is basic. Absolutely basic, but nothing in the

:13:57. > :14:00.statutes says they had to do that, nothing in the new statutes they are

:14:01. > :14:05.voting on today, either. But we said if you list your acid and interest

:14:06. > :14:11.is, at the end of your stay at Fifa you would be able to see they had

:14:12. > :14:15.enriched themselves through the job, unfairly, through corruption.

:14:16. > :14:19.Transparency International worked with Fifa on anti-corruption

:14:20. > :14:25.policies in 2011, what was that with? It didn't get anywhere? In the

:14:26. > :14:29.beginning, we were enthusiastic, they wanted a thin, looked at our

:14:30. > :14:32.reform package and said it was interesting, then they announced

:14:33. > :14:37.their own set of reforms which they were going to control. They said, we

:14:38. > :14:41.don't want to look into the past, and we all know what happened in the

:14:42. > :14:46.past. Now we know why they did not want to looking good, it was mired

:14:47. > :14:50.in corruption and scandal. We backed off and said unless you want to do

:14:51. > :14:52.it with real independence and openness, we do not want to be a

:14:53. > :14:56.part. From the outset, openness, we do not want to be a

:14:57. > :15:02.offered advice, criticism and ideas along the way. The reform package

:15:03. > :15:07.has many of the basic standard good governance ideas in it. It is

:15:08. > :15:12.implementation, how will they do it? Thank you both very much, Deborah

:15:13. > :15:16.and Jerry. The Congress is ongoing. We will have more coverage through

:15:17. > :15:21.Still to come. reform and the new president.

:15:22. > :15:23.Three brothers who sexually abused teenage girls in Rotherham over

:15:24. > :15:26.a period of 15 years will be sentenced this morning.

:15:27. > :15:34.We speak to one victim who tells us they controlled her life.

:15:35. > :15:40.Is a brain drain of teachers contributing to a shortage of

:15:41. > :15:41.teaching talent in the UK? We hear from one teacher who has made the

:15:42. > :15:44.move abroad. Football's world governing body,

:15:45. > :15:48.Fifa, will elect a new president today to replace Sepp Blatter,

:15:49. > :15:50.who stood down amid a corruption More than 200 delegates

:15:51. > :15:53.will make their choice The two front runners

:15:54. > :15:56.are Sheikh Salman of the Asian Football Confederation

:15:57. > :16:11.and Uefa's Gianni Infantino. Michael Howard is backing the

:16:12. > :16:13.campaign to leave the EU. He was previously a mental to David

:16:14. > :16:18.Cameron, helping him to become party leader. George Osborne has warned

:16:19. > :16:20.that leaving the EU would cause an economic shock.

:16:21. > :16:23.Three brothers who subjected teenage girls to years of rape,

:16:24. > :16:25.violence and prostitution in Rotherham will be sentenced today.

:16:26. > :16:27.Arshid, Basharat and Bannaras Hussain will be sentenced

:16:47. > :16:49.In a statement, Scotland Yard described Elveden, which cost almost

:16:50. > :16:52.?15 million, as one of the most difficult and complex investigations

:17:20. > :17:31.of a teenager's dream debut for Manchester United.

:17:32. > :17:43.We will round things up. We will talk a bit about an 18-year-old man

:17:44. > :17:46.called Marcus Rushford. He had a night to remember for Manchester

:17:47. > :17:52.United, he was not supposed to be playing in their Europa League

:17:53. > :17:55.match, before an injury to Anthony Martial got him parachuted in 20

:17:56. > :18:02.minutes before kick-off. He changed the game. It was poised at 1-1 on

:18:03. > :18:07.the night, with Manchester United heading out on away goals, before he

:18:08. > :18:15.scored twice on his debut. He becomes their youngest scorer in

:18:16. > :18:20.Europe. It ended up being 5-1 on the night, 6-3 on aggregate, but it

:18:21. > :18:24.could have been very different. We will tell you all you need to know

:18:25. > :18:30.about him. Tottenham also through, as are Liverpool. The draw for the

:18:31. > :18:35.last 16 is today at midday. There is a chance of an all English game. We

:18:36. > :18:39.will talk about the six Nations, that comes back tonight, France

:18:40. > :18:40.against Wales in Cardiff, and we will get boxing as well. A nice

:18:41. > :18:46.variety. We will leave Fifa to you. Three brothers who sexually abused

:18:47. > :18:49.teenage girls in Rotherham over a period of 15 years will be

:18:50. > :18:51.sentenced this morning. The Hussain brothers were convicted

:18:52. > :18:54.on Wednesday after victims came forward to tell of how they'd been

:18:55. > :18:58.raped, beaten and trafficked. This comes nearly 30 years

:18:59. > :19:01.after the abuse started. It's the first conviction

:19:02. > :19:04.since it was revealed that 1,400 children had been groomed

:19:05. > :19:09.and abused in the town. We can speak now to a victim,

:19:10. > :19:12.who was groomed by one of the men being sentenced today,

:19:13. > :19:14.Arshin Hussain. We're calling her Jessica

:19:15. > :19:28.to protect her identity. How do you feel head of the

:19:29. > :19:34.sentencing? It has been a long journey. I feel and chess, because

:19:35. > :19:39.it is my first time going to court since I gave evidence. They are all

:19:40. > :19:47.going to be there. I am feeling confident about the sentencing. Tell

:19:48. > :19:53.us about how old you were when you first met him and how things

:19:54. > :20:00.unfolded from there. I met him when I had just turned 14, I was in some

:20:01. > :20:06.local shops with friends, he approached me and my friend. I

:20:07. > :20:12.previously knew his brother. He seemed very charming, funny, kind.

:20:13. > :20:18.We spent two years together straightaway. He mentally, sexually

:20:19. > :20:25.and physically abused the. I was made pregnant twice by him. The

:20:26. > :20:32.violence did not start straightaway. It was later on. Did you have to

:20:33. > :20:41.have six with other people? What happened? No, he never trafficked me

:20:42. > :20:46.to other men. I was abused by him. You said that initially it was fine

:20:47. > :20:56.and then things changed, what happened? At first he came across

:20:57. > :21:02.and he spent so much time talking to me, getting to know me, always paint

:21:03. > :21:12.me, comments, telling me I was beautiful, the boys my age never did

:21:13. > :21:16.that. The attention was nice. I never saw myself as a victim until

:21:17. > :21:22.three years ago. I always thought he was my boyfriend. But then he

:21:23. > :21:28.started to become controlling, he was beating me on a daily basis, he

:21:29. > :21:35.completely isolated me from my family and friends and it got to the

:21:36. > :21:42.point where I felt I had nowhere else to run, he was the only person

:21:43. > :21:49.in my world. I only had him. Did you ever go to anyone in authority and

:21:50. > :21:54.try to get help? Yes, I made my first statement at 16, because I

:21:55. > :21:59.recognised the violence, I just did not recognise the sexual and mental

:22:00. > :22:04.abuse. At 15 I got put into foster care by my parents, they could not

:22:05. > :22:08.cope with what was going on, they thought I would be safer, but the

:22:09. > :22:12.authorities said to him, as long as he picks me up at the top of the

:22:13. > :22:18.street and I am home by 10pm, he can have access to me. It got worse when

:22:19. > :22:25.I was in care, because he could have contact at any time. Before, my

:22:26. > :22:30.family said that it was not OK. How did you feel? You had gone to

:22:31. > :22:36.somebody to help, you said what was happening, nothing changed. Well, it

:22:37. > :22:42.got worse. Did you feel you were not being listened to? I was never

:22:43. > :22:50.treated as a victim. I was treated as equal, I was called a mistress, a

:22:51. > :22:53.little criminal. When you have a majority of people treating queue

:22:54. > :22:58.that way, it makes it so much harder to recognise yourself as a victim.

:22:59. > :23:03.When I look back, the amount of failings from the police and the

:23:04. > :23:12.council, it is so shocking and so hard to put it into words. It is

:23:13. > :23:15.horrendous. We will let you go, I know you want to get into court for

:23:16. > :23:22.the sentencing. Thank you for talking to us. There is evidence

:23:23. > :23:25.that authorities at the time failed to do anything. It was not until a

:23:26. > :23:27.journalist at the Times heard of the abuse and run with the story that

:23:28. > :23:37.the police investigation was launched. We could speak to that

:23:38. > :23:41.journalist now. Talk us through when you first heard about the issues in

:23:42. > :23:49.Rotherham and how long it took for it to unfold and for the issue to be

:23:50. > :23:54.taken seriously. I started researching what we thought was a

:23:55. > :23:59.hidden pattern of groups of men around the north and the Midlands

:24:00. > :24:06.grooming and targeting young white teenage girls in the autumn of 2011

:24:07. > :24:11.we published our first story in January 2011. It accused the

:24:12. > :24:14.authorities across Britain of being involved in a conspiracy of silence

:24:15. > :24:21.about what was going on. Within a week, I had a call from a Rotherham

:24:22. > :24:25.grandfather who wanted to talk about what had happened to his

:24:26. > :24:30.granddaughter. For the Times newspaper it has been a long time

:24:31. > :24:36.coming. Not as long as it has been coming for some of the young girls

:24:37. > :24:44.who had their childhood stolen. It was when you took a call from the

:24:45. > :24:49.woman, the girl as she was, who we have just spoken to, who we called

:24:50. > :24:55.Jessica, you told her story in the paper and that was when a human

:24:56. > :25:01.voice was put to this story. Was that a changing point? It was

:25:02. > :25:06.completely the changing point. We had carried on telling the story of

:25:07. > :25:12.what the authorities knew and had failed to act upon. In September

:25:13. > :25:17.2012 a brave whistle-blower handed me more than 200 confidential

:25:18. > :25:21.documents. That laid bare a history in this town that for more than ten

:25:22. > :25:27.years groups of men had been able to target, groom, pimp and trafficked

:25:28. > :25:29.children. They had done so with virtual impunity and there was

:25:30. > :25:35.overwhelming evidence to show that social services and police knew the

:25:36. > :25:39.names of the girls, the men, their cars, where they were taking them,

:25:40. > :25:45.and they failed to do anything about it. Despite the weight of evidence,

:25:46. > :25:48.South Yorkshire Police remained in complete denial, they insisted they

:25:49. > :25:53.were leading the way in tackling such crimes nationally. The

:25:54. > :25:57.Rotherham Council social services, instead of working out what had gone

:25:58. > :26:01.wrong, they ordered an internal enquiry to find the source of the

:26:02. > :26:10.leak. That reaction was so staggering to us, we carried on, and

:26:11. > :26:13.in the summer of 2013 a message was left on my phone from a young woman

:26:14. > :26:19.who sounded very nervous, you have just heard her speak to you now, it

:26:20. > :26:24.was the telling of her story and the decision which was unprecedented in

:26:25. > :26:31.my 27 years as a journalist to name on our front page the man, to accuse

:26:32. > :26:35.him of being a serial abuser of children, multiple children, at a

:26:36. > :26:42.time when he had not even been questioned, let alone charged or

:26:43. > :26:47.convicted. It was that story, the brave young woman, Jessica, which

:26:48. > :26:51.tipped the balance, because on the same day she gave her first filmed

:26:52. > :26:57.interview to the police on the very first day of what became operation R

:26:58. > :27:02.two clover. It has resulted in the men being sentenced today. Within 12

:27:03. > :27:08.days of that article, Rotherham council is finally bowed to

:27:09. > :27:14.overwhelming public pressure and commissioned the independent enquiry

:27:15. > :27:18.that became the enquiry which created worldwide headlines 12

:27:19. > :27:24.months later, when it found that 1400 girls had been abused over 16

:27:25. > :27:28.years. Do you believe if you had not have been contacted in the first

:27:29. > :27:38.place by that grandfather who gave you a dossier, that this would not

:27:39. > :27:42.have emerged in the way that it has? I genuinely do believe that, because

:27:43. > :27:49.it was not as though there was nobody trying to raise the alarm ten

:27:50. > :27:53.or 15 years ago. There were very dedicated people, but not at the top

:27:54. > :27:56.of any of those organisations, who were writing reports, providing

:27:57. > :28:03.intelligence briefings, saying something needs to be done. Nobody

:28:04. > :28:08.wanted to listen. Finally, in desperation, when all else failed,

:28:09. > :28:13.they turned to a journalist. In some ways, I would argue that it is a

:28:14. > :28:17.good thing that we have a free press in this country and investigative

:28:18. > :28:21.journalism can uncover something like this. In another way, a chain

:28:22. > :28:25.is our country that it took a newspaper to show child protection

:28:26. > :28:32.authorities what they ought to have known all along. We will bring you

:28:33. > :28:38.details of the sentencing when it is announced in court.

:28:39. > :28:40.The former Conservative leader Michael Howard has announced he'll

:28:41. > :28:42.back the campaign to leave the European Union.

:28:43. > :28:44.Lord Howard helped David Cameron become leader in 2005.

:28:45. > :28:47.Meanwhile, the Chancellor George Osborne has warned a vote to leave

:28:48. > :28:54.would lead to a profound economic shock.

:28:55. > :29:00.Tell us what George Osbourne has been saying. He has been talking

:29:01. > :29:06.about the central claim of his side of the argument, the central case

:29:07. > :29:12.they make for remaining in the EU, which is in large part about the

:29:13. > :29:15.economy and risk. He is at the G20 in China, getting together with

:29:16. > :29:20.other finance ministers, discussing the state of the global economy and

:29:21. > :29:25.making the case that if we were to leave now, it would be a huge risk.

:29:26. > :29:29.While that is going on there, back at home we have Michael Howard, the

:29:30. > :29:34.man who used to run his party, who gave him a helpful promotion,

:29:35. > :29:38.setting him up to be the team that ran for the leadership in 2005, he

:29:39. > :29:43.hired David Cameron as a political aide. He has been explaining why he

:29:44. > :29:49.disagrees with David Cameron. Michael Howard, then the leader, and

:29:50. > :29:55.why he thinks Britain should vote to leave.

:29:56. > :30:00.If the leaders of Europe were actually faced with a British vote

:30:01. > :30:04.to leave, I think they would think again. We would be sorely missed if

:30:05. > :30:09.we did leave the European Union, and I think that, just as they have

:30:10. > :30:13.dinner for, they have form with Denmark and Ireland, I think there

:30:14. > :30:15.is a chance, not a certainty, that they would come and say, let's talk

:30:16. > :30:22.some more. That takes explaining, he is

:30:23. > :30:25.effectively arguing to vote to leave the EU because it might encourage

:30:26. > :30:29.other countries to come back to Britain with a better deal, then we

:30:30. > :30:32.could have another referendum and a better arrangement than the one

:30:33. > :30:37.David Cameron managed to negotiate. The Prime Minister was utterly

:30:38. > :30:40.withering about that point of view on Monday in the House of Commons.

:30:41. > :30:44.We thought he had killed it off as an argument, but I think Michael

:30:45. > :30:48.Howard has given it new life. George Osborne in China was making the

:30:49. > :30:51.opposite case, an argument about the economy and about risk, this is what

:30:52. > :30:56.he said. You have seen the value of the pound

:30:57. > :30:59.fall, it reminds us all that this is not some political parlour game, it

:31:00. > :31:04.is about people's jobs and their livelihoods and their living

:31:05. > :31:08.standards. In my judgment as Chancellor, leaving the EU would

:31:09. > :31:13.represent a profound economic shock for our country, for all of us, and

:31:14. > :31:17.I will do everything I can to prevent that. You could be forgiven

:31:18. > :31:25.for feeling slightly befuddled. It feels like there are headlines every

:31:26. > :31:29.morning are another rather Celia, old, politician coming out to tell

:31:30. > :31:32.us which way we should vote on Europe. You might wonder of the

:31:33. > :31:37.impact of that on the public, and you would be right. Michael Howard

:31:38. > :31:41.was my great impact will be significant, he is very respected by

:31:42. > :31:45.a lot of MPs, regarded not just as the man who helped to get Cameron

:31:46. > :31:48.his job but helps revive the party after being smashed to smithereens

:31:49. > :31:58.by Tony Blair time and time again. What none of them have any certainty

:31:59. > :32:01.about is how any of this debate is registering with the public, and it

:32:02. > :32:04.may be a long time, weeks, possibly months, before we get any feeling of

:32:05. > :32:06.that, before how we know whether any of this carefully choreographed

:32:07. > :32:12.arguing is affecting opinions at all.

:32:13. > :32:15.Thank you. Police in the American state of Kansas say four people

:32:16. > :32:20.including a gunman have been killed in a series of shootings. 14 people

:32:21. > :32:25.were injured in the attacks, which took place at several locations. The

:32:26. > :32:28.suspected attacker is suspected to be an employee of a lawn mower

:32:29. > :32:35.factory in Houston, where he was finally shot dead by police.

:32:36. > :32:39.The first report that we have had was that a man had been shot in the

:32:40. > :32:49.shoulder, driving a truck. Then there was another report at Meridian

:32:50. > :32:53.and Heston leg of somebody shot in the leg, then the reports of a

:32:54. > :32:59.shooting in a parking lot and then report to be shooting inside the

:33:00. > :33:04.factory. It is not the leaves to be linked to terrorism. Witnesses

:33:05. > :33:09.described scenes of panic. I saw people running, I assumed fire. I

:33:10. > :33:13.took a few steps and heard a pop, pop, I thought it was paint cans

:33:14. > :33:18.going up. Then there was more popping, I started running. The

:33:19. > :33:24.doors opened, people were screaming, coming out, saying, go to the front,

:33:25. > :33:28.then somebody said, he is out front, people started going to the back

:33:29. > :33:32.over here. They were yelling fire, we took off running. Everybody was

:33:33. > :33:38.coming outside, as soon as we got out there were gunshot and this one

:33:39. > :33:43.guy got shot in the leg and was walking, he was shot four times.

:33:44. > :33:52.Four other people I know got shot. It was horrible. One person I know

:33:53. > :33:54.died. It is just horrible. The guy had an AK-47 and a pistol, is what I

:33:55. > :34:08.heard. The worst day at work ever. The incredible tale of long lost

:34:09. > :34:12.sisters who spent 35 years looking for each other, only to discover

:34:13. > :34:14.they had been playing online bingo together for eight years.

:34:15. > :34:17.A brain drain of teachers is contributing to a shortage

:34:18. > :34:19.of teaching talent in the UK, that's the warning from

:34:20. > :34:21.England's Chief Inspector of Schools, Sir Michael Wilshaw.

:34:22. > :34:23.He says growing numbers are leaving to work abroad,

:34:24. > :34:26.and that more must be done to keep teachers working

:34:27. > :34:29.He explained why he thought this was becoming a problem.

:34:30. > :34:31.Because of the huge growth of independent schools abroad,

:34:32. > :34:34.sponsored and franchised by the big public schools over here,

:34:35. > :34:36.we have seen a rapid growth over the last few years.

:34:37. > :34:40.Two years ago there were just over 20 of the schools in places

:34:41. > :34:43.like Dubai and Abu Dhabi and places in the Far East,

:34:44. > :34:51.They are taking our trained teachers from over here, and the rapid growth

:34:52. > :34:56.that we are seeing has been built on the teachers that we are training

:34:57. > :35:02.here, at a great cost to our state system.

:35:03. > :35:05.And as I go about the country and talk to head teachers,

:35:06. > :35:10.and as Her Majesty's inspectors do, they have a real problem,

:35:11. > :35:13.particularly in secondary, in attracting high-quality people

:35:14. > :35:16.to teach subjects like physics and maths and other science subjects.

:35:17. > :35:22.I strongly suggested in my paper today that if the taxpayer is paying

:35:23. > :35:27.huge amounts of money for training teachers and for paying

:35:28. > :35:32.off their grants, ?20,000 to ?30,000 is what the Government

:35:33. > :35:36.is paying at the moment, there should be a moral

:35:37. > :35:38.commitment and, if necessary, a contractual commitment for these

:35:39. > :35:42.teachers to stay here for a period of time and teach in this country

:35:43. > :35:51.Ofsted says that last year more teachers left England to work

:35:52. > :35:56.overseas than actually qualified through post-graduate training.

:35:57. > :35:58.Let's speak now to Jessica Ferguson-Thomas.

:35:59. > :36:00.She's a primary-school teacher who moved to Abu Dhabi in 2013.

:36:01. > :36:07.She now works for a company called Teaching Abroad Direct.

:36:08. > :36:13.Why did you decide to move abroad to teach?

:36:14. > :36:19.It was the excessive workloads, working way into the evenings,

:36:20. > :36:24.hardly any time to spend with my family, so me and my husband, also a

:36:25. > :36:28.teacher, decided to look at what opportunities where available

:36:29. > :36:35.abroad. How long did it take you to make the decision? Well, we decided

:36:36. > :36:42.in March and we moved out in the August. It is the best thing we ever

:36:43. > :36:48.did. It doesn't sound like you agonised over it for a long time? We

:36:49. > :36:52.didn't. A sickly, we were both at a crunch point, we would either leave

:36:53. > :36:57.teaching in the UK or try to teach abroad. It was now or never. We are

:36:58. > :37:01.both pleased we did, we both love teaching, fundamentally, but it was

:37:02. > :37:07.the workload and the time pressure getting us down. Teachers always

:37:08. > :37:10.talk about their workload, was it not something you were aware of when

:37:11. > :37:15.you took the decision to train as a teacher and go into the profession?

:37:16. > :37:24.I was aware of it, I'm quite a hard-working person, but it is so

:37:25. > :37:28.much harder than you ever told, and it is the long days and the working

:37:29. > :37:34.into the evening, and you are not a teacher, you are an admin person, it

:37:35. > :37:38.is all the paperwork. It is a lot worse than you would ever imagine.

:37:39. > :37:42.Sir Michael Wilshaw has been saying that it is important to recognise

:37:43. > :37:50.the nobility of teaching and to talk up teaching as a profession that can

:37:51. > :37:54.transform lives. Is that something that you see, did you feel that you

:37:55. > :37:59.were going into a profession that would transform lives? Absolutely.

:38:00. > :38:03.That is one of the main reasons you become a teacher, you want to make a

:38:04. > :38:07.difference and you want to be that important person in a child peers

:38:08. > :38:11.life, but in England you get so swamped down with everything else

:38:12. > :38:14.that it is hard to remember that. Which is why abroad, when the

:38:15. > :38:19.pressure is a bit less and you have more of a home life yourself, you

:38:20. > :38:24.can really focus on the child. What about the suggestion that because

:38:25. > :38:28.the taxpayer is paying huge amounts of money to train teachers, there

:38:29. > :38:35.should be a moral and possibly even contractual commitment for teachers

:38:36. > :38:45.when they are qualified to stay and teach in this country. To be honest,

:38:46. > :38:49.I agree that if it is ?30,000, which physics teachers will be getting in

:38:50. > :38:54.September, they should stay. I got less than ?2000, I was travelling 80

:38:55. > :39:00.miles a day so it did not even cover the petrol, so after working in

:39:01. > :39:04.England for two years as a teacher, I felt I had paid my bit back. Tell

:39:05. > :39:12.us what it is like teaching in Abu Dhabi? It is very different, the

:39:13. > :39:16.pressure is less, the admin is less, you are allowed to be more creative

:39:17. > :39:20.and free as a teacher and you can focus more on your job. The children

:39:21. > :39:26.are more at the centre of it rather than a box ticking exercise, which

:39:27. > :39:30.in England it often is. It is a bit more relaxed, which makes it a lot

:39:31. > :39:35.easier to be a good and an outstanding teacher. Do you see

:39:36. > :39:44.lessons that could be drawn from that system and applied here? Yeah.

:39:45. > :39:49.To be honest, the main thing is to get rid of a lot of the paperwork,

:39:50. > :39:54.or take it from the teachers' responsibility. All the admin that

:39:55. > :39:58.goes with it, it does not need to be the teacher's responsibility. You

:39:59. > :40:06.could employ somebody else to do all the paperwork bets. In Abu Dhabi and

:40:07. > :40:10.other countries, the most important bit is teaching, which is what it

:40:11. > :40:14.should be, rather than all the bits that come in the evening. Could

:40:15. > :40:19.anything lure you back to being a teacher in this country again? No,

:40:20. > :40:23.he and my husbands have both said we don't plan to... Obviously things

:40:24. > :40:29.change, I don't want to say never, it is not in our plan. The world is

:40:30. > :40:33.a big place, as Michael Wilshaw said there are lots of schools, the world

:40:34. > :40:37.is our oyster. What do your friends and family think of you going? Do

:40:38. > :40:42.you know any of the teachers who have looked at your experience and

:40:43. > :40:46.said, maybe we will do the same? Absolutely, I have three or four

:40:47. > :40:50.friends that since they have moved out here, I have a friend living in

:40:51. > :40:55.Dubai who was my PGCE student in England, I also have two of my

:40:56. > :41:01.friends who used to live next door is living at yellow. It is a domino

:41:02. > :41:06.effect, they see on social media how happy we are, how much easier it is,

:41:07. > :41:17.they are coming. Unless England makes big changes to the education

:41:18. > :41:21.system, like I said, it is the admin and the paperwork, unless they can

:41:22. > :41:26.manage that it will carry on going. Thank you very much, Jessica. Carol

:41:27. > :41:32.has got on the chagrin touch on Twitter and has said Ofsted should

:41:33. > :41:36.join the dots, vacuous testing, draining morale, no wonder there is

:41:37. > :41:41.brain drain. Ted Cruz Marco Rubio have crashed --

:41:42. > :41:47.clashed with Donald Trump at the last debate for the Republican

:41:48. > :41:50.presidential candidate before super Tuesday.

:41:51. > :42:01.If he hadn't inherited $200 million, do you know where he would be?

:42:02. > :42:07.Selling watches! Cheering. That is so wrong. You are all talk and no

:42:08. > :42:12.action. This guy is a joke artist, this guy is a liar. You have a

:42:13. > :42:15.combination of factors. He can't do it for the obvious reason and he can

:42:16. > :42:22.do it because he doesn't know how to tell the truth. Other than that, I

:42:23. > :42:31.rest my case. Donald, you can get back on your mates. I am having fun,

:42:32. > :42:42.I had to say. -- Donald, you can get back on your meds. You are a basket

:42:43. > :42:47.case. Don't get nervous. Nothing about you makes anyone know this.

:42:48. > :42:51.That was entertaining. Still to come, is there increasing censorship

:42:52. > :42:54.on University campuses, and why are some universities banning debate? We

:42:55. > :42:57.have spoken to both sides. Let's get the latest weather

:42:58. > :43:06.update with Chris Fawkes. Good morning. We are talking

:43:07. > :43:10.tornadoes, there has been a big outbreak across the United States on

:43:11. > :43:14.Wednesday evening. We have some pictures of the damage they caused.

:43:15. > :43:21.They went across eight different states. What even is that? Is that a

:43:22. > :43:25.building or a train? And flooding as well, tornadoes reported across a

:43:26. > :43:28.different states. It is quite unusual for tornadoes this early in

:43:29. > :43:33.the season. You can get the ingredients at any time of the yet,

:43:34. > :43:37.but 65 reported on Wednesday evening with widespread damage. Do you know

:43:38. > :43:46.how they measured the wind speed? Has that a guess? I don't know! They

:43:47. > :43:50.look at the damage in the pictures and work-out, if the building has

:43:51. > :43:54.been flattened, that is the wind speed that would do that. The

:43:55. > :43:59.strongest tornadoes we got from this outbreak were in Florida, in

:44:00. > :44:04.Pensacola near the Florida Panhandle, they were estimated as EF

:44:05. > :44:10.three on the scale, which equates to 155 mph. That is why the buildings

:44:11. > :44:17.were threatened. So interesting, I had never thought about that.

:44:18. > :44:20.In the UK, you will be pleased to year there is nothing like that on

:44:21. > :44:25.the way this weekend. That we have a change in the winter that will bring

:44:26. > :44:28.cold easterly air Alloway. You will certainly notice the chill in the

:44:29. > :44:34.hour through the weekend. Those tornadoes are caused by this weather

:44:35. > :44:38.system. The storms are working across the East Coast into the

:44:39. > :44:44.Virginias. Even parts of New England had a tornado, pretty unusual that

:44:45. > :44:51.far north. Along the satellite pig we have a developing weather system,

:44:52. > :44:55.an area of low pressure. -- on the satellite picture. Much cloudier

:44:56. > :44:58.compared to the last few days. That said, the cloud will be thin in The

:44:59. > :45:05.Times to allow limited brighter spells. There could be rain to parts

:45:06. > :45:08.of western Cornwall, it looks like it will slide in through the

:45:09. > :45:12.afternoon. There will probably be showers around in Northern Ireland

:45:13. > :45:18.but, that aside, most of the weather for most of the day will be dry with

:45:19. > :45:22.a reasonable amount of brightness in Scotland, four or 5 degrees. Showers

:45:23. > :45:27.through Antrim and down, lots of dry weather for Northern Ireland. Most

:45:28. > :45:32.of the rate will stay on the border in Ireland. England and Wales

:45:33. > :45:36.staying cloudy, temperatures between five and eight. Sebastian in showers

:45:37. > :45:40.brushing the Sussex coastline, the general rain is getting into West

:45:41. > :45:43.Cornwall. Apart from that, lots of dry weather today.

:45:44. > :45:48.Overnight, patchy cloud for Northern Ireland, England and Wales, that

:45:49. > :45:52.cloud keeping temperatures around one degree Celsius in the

:45:53. > :45:55.countryside. Further north, with breaks in the cloud across Northern

:45:56. > :46:00.Ireland and Scotland, a frost is setting in. Where we see showers by

:46:01. > :46:03.day there is the risk of icy stretches developing on untreated

:46:04. > :46:08.roads and services. The low pressure is in charge over

:46:09. > :46:10.the weekend, easterly winds on Saturday, cold across southern

:46:11. > :46:13.parts, then this high pressure builds on across the north of the

:46:14. > :46:19.country, settling the winds down on Sunday. This is how it looks for the

:46:20. > :46:22.weekend, a cold wind blowing for southern parts of England and seven

:46:23. > :46:26.Wales, a mainly dry prospect through the weekend, but there was also the

:46:27. > :46:32.prospect of one wintry showers across eastern areas bought in by

:46:33. > :46:36.the cold winds. A chilly day for England and Wales,

:46:37. > :46:39.quite a bit of cloud around, white cloudy story for Northern Ireland,

:46:40. > :46:42.the best of the century and further north across northern and central

:46:43. > :46:47.areas of Scotland, looking at highs of around 5 degrees, 88 on the

:46:48. > :46:52.monitor in London but feeling much colder when you factor in that

:46:53. > :46:56.chilly easterly wind. Little changes on Sunday, a build-up of pressure

:46:57. > :47:00.sending the winds down into a more north-easterly direction, not

:47:01. > :47:03.exactly a one day, cloud around, if you like the sunshine, the best

:47:04. > :47:07.place to see that will be across parts of north-west England and

:47:08. > :47:08.western areas of Scotland. The weekend foremost, looking but pretty

:47:09. > :47:11.chilly. Hello, it's Friday February

:47:12. > :47:12.26th, it's 10am. I'm Joanna Gosling in for

:47:13. > :47:14.Victoria Derbyshire. Welcome to the programme

:47:15. > :47:16.if you've just joined us. Mired in scandal after scandal

:47:39. > :47:40.Tackling homophobia, racism and sexism on campus -

:47:41. > :47:47.why some universities are banning debate.

:47:48. > :47:53.I was banned from Manchester for having the wrong opinions as a gay

:47:54. > :47:57.man. I was supposed to talk about feminism having a problem with free

:47:58. > :47:59.speech, and both sides of the debate were banned, they did not want the

:48:00. > :48:01.discussion to be had. They were nicknamed the "terrible

:48:02. > :48:03.twins" by other players. We'll be speaking to the two

:48:04. > :48:10.long-lost sisters who were reunited online by their mutual

:48:11. > :48:16.love of bingo. Football's world governing body,

:48:17. > :48:20.Fifa, will elect a new president today to replace Sepp Blatter,

:48:21. > :48:23.who stood down amid a corruption More than 200 delegates

:48:24. > :48:27.will make their choice The two front runners

:48:28. > :48:31.are Sheikh Salman of the Asian Football Confederation

:48:32. > :48:37.and Uefa's Gianni Infantino. Former Tory leader Michael Howard

:48:43. > :48:47.has warned that leaving the EU A French court clears the way

:48:48. > :48:54.to demolish part of the migrant camp known as the Jungle,

:48:55. > :49:11.in the northern port of Calais. What is happening there? We

:49:12. > :49:15.understand there are authorities walking around the camp behind me,

:49:16. > :49:21.talking to the migrants, beginning the persuasion, trying to get them

:49:22. > :49:28.to leave so they can slowly disband this area. The authorities said they

:49:29. > :49:35.would not force anybody to leave. They would persuade them. The

:49:36. > :49:38.process has already begun. They have three options, to take up room in

:49:39. > :49:42.the housing containers in the northern section of the camp, there

:49:43. > :49:49.are 300 spaces left, they could take a bus to take them to some of the

:49:50. > :49:55.other purpose-built migrant containers across France, and the

:49:56. > :49:59.preferred option is for them to claim asylum in France. They prefer

:50:00. > :50:02.that because they don't want situations like this to be springing

:50:03. > :50:10.up in other areas across the North Coast. 95% of the migrants I have

:50:11. > :50:14.spoken to are still set on trying to reach Britain. They may go to

:50:15. > :50:20.Dunkirk or try to get into Belgium and attempt to get into Britain via

:50:21. > :50:27.a different avenue. Some might decide it is too difficult and

:50:28. > :50:31.possibly head home. Charities have not reacted kindly to the decision

:50:32. > :50:36.made yesterday, they said even though they said they would not

:50:37. > :50:39.force people to leave, leaving some of the main structures, the church

:50:40. > :50:44.and the school and the youth centre, even though they would not be taken

:50:45. > :50:47.down, it would segregate the community, with everybody having to

:50:48. > :50:51.live on this side of the campus, there would be a gap to those

:50:52. > :50:55.centres and it would destroy the sense of community. The decision not

:50:56. > :50:57.going down well with many of the people involved.

:50:58. > :51:00.Three brothers who subjected teenage girls to years of rape,

:51:01. > :51:02.violence and prostitution in Rotherham will be sentenced today.

:51:57. > :52:04.of a teenager's dream debut for Manchester United.

:52:05. > :52:12.Good morning. Alan Hansen said you cannot win anything with kids, but

:52:13. > :52:15.if he needed reminding how wrong it was, he got it last night.

:52:16. > :52:17.Marcus Rashford arrived at Old Trafford last night just

:52:18. > :52:19.celebrating being on the bench for Manchester United's senior side

:52:20. > :52:22.But moments before kick-off, that turned into a place

:52:23. > :52:26.Replacing Frenchman Anthony Martial, who was injured in the warm-up,

:52:27. > :52:28.Rashford definitely made the most of his debut,

:52:29. > :52:31.with two goals to turn their Europa League tie against FC

:52:32. > :52:35.A 5-1 win on the night meant United cruised into the last 16,

:52:36. > :52:45.but it could've been very different were it not for the 18-year-old.

:52:46. > :52:56.I have said already a lot of times that is fantastic, but you have to

:52:57. > :53:05.be consistent. We are looking for consistent striker 's. There are not

:53:06. > :53:07.so many on this earth. But he made a great performance, I think.

:53:08. > :53:11.He became United's youngest European goal scorer at 18 years and 117

:53:12. > :53:17.days, beating Brian Kidd's 48-year record.

:53:18. > :53:21.He was top scorer in their under-18s side last season, scoring 13 goals

:53:22. > :53:25.Only the second player to score while making his debut

:53:26. > :53:35.Rashford joined Manchester United from youth side Fletcher Moss

:53:36. > :53:40.Danny Welbeck has earned 33 caps for England so far.

:53:41. > :53:44.Before him, Wes Brown, who spent 15 years at United and won

:53:45. > :53:50.And of the current crops of players, Tyler Blackett, Jesse Lingard

:53:51. > :53:54.and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson all began their footballing life

:53:55. > :54:03.in Didsbury at Fletcher Moss Rangers.

:54:04. > :54:15.Marcus attended our soccer school. We knew he had developed quite

:54:16. > :54:18.quickly. He was ahead of his years. Manchester United persuaded him that

:54:19. > :54:21.that would be the right club for him. Very talented youngster, even

:54:22. > :54:23.at six years of age. Well, United are one of three

:54:24. > :54:25.English clubs awaiting today's They were joined by Liverpool,

:54:43. > :54:44.with both sides unbeaten Wales, though, have won their last

:54:45. > :54:49.four matches against the French, including a famous 27-6 win,

:54:50. > :55:03.also on a Friday night, We have all been working hard to get

:55:04. > :55:08.the title back in Wales. Even though we have had a couple of years, we

:55:09. > :55:15.have realised it is difficult in the six Nations. We want to get another

:55:16. > :55:21.title under our belt. We still have a great chance this year.

:55:22. > :55:26.I would have loved to have told you about the tussle in Manchester

:55:27. > :55:30.between Scott Quigg and conference, but we haven't got time!

:55:31. > :55:34.It sounds like something we want to hear about, so maybe later!

:55:35. > :55:36.Join us on the BBC News channel later.

:55:37. > :55:40.Thank you for joining us this morning, welcome to the programme

:55:41. > :55:45.We're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11am.

:55:46. > :55:52.We will keep you across the latest stories. A reaction about a warning

:55:53. > :55:56.from the Chief Inspector of Schools in England, who says a brain drain

:55:57. > :56:01.of teachers is contributing to a shortage of teaching talent in the

:56:02. > :56:05.UK. Derek has e-mailed to say, it is wrong for teachers to learn their

:56:06. > :56:09.trade here at our expense and then go and work abroad. They should be

:56:10. > :56:14.tied to a contract that they cannot work elsewhere until they have done

:56:15. > :56:18.at least five years over here. Joan says, it seems like the teachers are

:56:19. > :56:26.getting the same deal as nurses, but a bit more pay. Holly says, Michael

:56:27. > :56:31.Wilshaw, rather than forcing teachers to stay, why not reflect on

:56:32. > :56:33.why they are leaving? If you want to add your voice to the debate, get in

:56:34. > :56:34.touch. You can get in touch in the usual

:56:35. > :56:37.ways, use the hashtag #VictoriaLive. If you text, you will be charged

:56:38. > :56:40.at the standard network rate. Wherever you are you can

:56:41. > :56:42.watch our programme online via the BBC News app or our website,

:56:43. > :56:44.bbc.co.uk/victoria. They're one of the biggest,

:56:45. > :56:47.richest and most important sporting bodies in the world, and today Fifa,

:56:48. > :56:50.who are effectively in charge of world football, will

:56:51. > :56:53.get a new president. Their motto is, for

:56:54. > :56:56.the game, for the world. But following allegation

:56:57. > :56:58.after allegation of bribery and corruption, their reputation has

:56:59. > :57:01.been severely tarnished. Elections take place

:57:02. > :57:06.today to find a new man, and it will be a man,

:57:07. > :57:10.to become the new President of Fifa. That man will replace Sepp Blatter,

:57:11. > :57:14.who stood down as the corruption crisis threatened to bring

:57:15. > :57:26.the organisation down. He and Michel Platini were banned

:57:27. > :57:31.over a payment between them. Voters will vote for his replacement and

:57:32. > :57:38.the possibility of reforms. This was the hotel wake-up call

:57:39. > :57:41.nobody at Fifa expected. Seven officials arrested in dawn

:57:42. > :57:45.raids at their hotel on the banks I thank you that you accepted me,

:57:46. > :58:23.that for the next four years I will be in command

:58:24. > :58:29.of this boat called Fifa, Today, in a dramatic

:58:30. > :58:51.statement from Zurich, TRANSLATION: While I have a mandate

:58:52. > :59:03.from the membership, I do not feel that I have a mandate

:59:04. > :59:09.from the entire world of football. Game over, Sepp Blatter finally

:59:10. > :00:02.shown the door after his 17-year The president kicked out

:00:03. > :00:09.of the sport along with the man who had been viewed as his likely

:00:10. > :00:47.successor, the Uefa chief Michel A run-through of the downfall of

:00:48. > :00:54.Sepp Blatter. Let's go live to see Rick where the voters taking place,

:00:55. > :01:00.Katie Gornall is there. -- let's go live to Zurich. How much pressure is

:01:01. > :01:05.there on Fifa for this to be a fresh start? They were given a reminder of

:01:06. > :01:11.how much pressure there is on Fifa in his conference just about half an

:01:12. > :01:17.hour road... Go, when the general secretary revealed their financial

:01:18. > :01:22.dealings and said they were $550 million down on projections for

:01:23. > :01:27.2015, eco-sponsors have deserted them in droves in the wake of the

:01:28. > :01:31.scandal which has dogged Fifa, and they have had to pay legal bills

:01:32. > :01:37.through the corruption allegations. This is what the package of reforms

:01:38. > :01:43.is designed to address. Soon the delegates will votes on that, we

:01:44. > :01:48.expected to go through with a 75% majority. It is to make Fifa more

:01:49. > :01:51.transparent and accountable, although some question weather they

:01:52. > :01:55.go far enough. Then we break for lunch and the delegates will come

:01:56. > :02:01.back into this conference hall on the outskirts of the city to decide

:02:02. > :02:04.who will be the face of the supposedly reformed Fifa. Five

:02:05. > :02:11.candidates were going to replace Sepp Blatter, two front runners,

:02:12. > :02:17.Gianni Infantino, formerly of Uefa, Europe 's choice, but against Sheikh

:02:18. > :02:21.Salman, head of the Asian federation. He is seen as the

:02:22. > :02:26.favourite but is controversial because he has been forced to deny

:02:27. > :02:29.allegations of human rights abuses in the build-up to this campaign and

:02:30. > :02:33.there would be comments from the wider footballing world if he was

:02:34. > :02:40.appointed stop the boat backwards takes place later this afternoon,

:02:41. > :02:45.207 eligible countries can vote, one country, one vote, silicone due with

:02:46. > :02:49.the Cayman Islands which has 57,000 people would have the same weight as

:02:50. > :02:53.a footballing superpower like Brazil with over 250 million people. But

:02:54. > :02:58.there are some who feel that just because there is a change at the top

:02:59. > :03:00.does not necessarily mean there will be a change of culture at Fifa.

:03:01. > :03:01.Thank you, Katie. Joining me now is Michael Hershman,

:03:02. > :03:04.a former member of Fifa's independent governance committee,

:03:05. > :03:06.which made a series of reform recommendations to Fifa back

:03:07. > :03:08.in 2013, and Emanuel Medeiros, former CEO of the European

:03:09. > :03:11.Professional Football Leagues, who's now boss at the European

:03:12. > :03:14.branch of the International Centre for Sport Security, an organisation

:03:15. > :03:27.set up to fight corruption in sport. Thank you both for joining us.

:03:28. > :03:32.Michael, do you see this as potentially a fresh start? You would

:03:33. > :03:38.hope so, but I think it will take more than passing a few reforms. I

:03:39. > :03:43.don't think the reforms go far enough, in fact. Leadership is

:03:44. > :03:50.important, but the change in culture will take many years, not only out

:03:51. > :03:55.of Zurich, Fifa headquarters, but the changing culture among the many

:03:56. > :04:00.federations the changing culture among the many

:04:01. > :04:04.do you see it, Emanuel? I share Michael 's view. Leadership is

:04:05. > :04:10.important, an organisation whose role is to govern world football

:04:11. > :04:15.cannot go without strong leadership, strategic vision, reforming spirit,

:04:16. > :04:20.but it is more than the man who leads the organisation. To have a

:04:21. > :04:25.new culture where good governance and integrity is priority number

:04:26. > :04:29.one, you need to tackle wider problems which are very complex,

:04:30. > :04:35.increasingly sophisticated, with a global dimension, often including

:04:36. > :04:39.criminal infiltration. You need a true cocktail of measures for that

:04:40. > :04:44.to have an effect of culture, a new attitude and mentality not just in

:04:45. > :04:51.football but the wider sport. That depends not only on Fifa all who

:04:52. > :04:56.will lead Fifa after today, in this defining moment in history for Fifa

:04:57. > :05:01.and football it also depends on the active constructive engagement of

:05:02. > :05:03.the whole sporting industry, including governments, including

:05:04. > :05:09.sponsors, which was mentioned a while ago, deserting Fifa after

:05:10. > :05:17.months of Fifa 's name being dragged through the mud, being at the lowest

:05:18. > :05:20.ever level. You need to bring an independent, global, neutral

:05:21. > :05:24.platform where other stakeholders can assist sports to overcome these

:05:25. > :05:31.unprecedented challenges. It is not on the horizon, is it? Do UC it

:05:32. > :05:39.happening? I see it happening, there are encouraging signs. We have

:05:40. > :05:43.facilitated for the first time ever the joint union forces between

:05:44. > :05:49.leaders in sport, government, international authorities, also from

:06:04. > :06:08.standards in terms of governance and integrity, to assist sports in

:06:09. > :06:12.tackling these problems. It is not just about Fifa, who is leading it

:06:13. > :06:18.or how it is governed, it involves other areas such as the transfer

:06:19. > :06:23.market and the financial transactions it allows, it involves

:06:24. > :06:27.club ownership, whose gaps, I think, are evident, it involves prevention

:06:28. > :06:31.of situations related to money-laundering and tax evasion,

:06:32. > :06:33.which are visible, not to mention other problems mentioned by the

:07:02. > :07:08.stakeholders are the fans, Transparency International, and NGO

:07:09. > :07:15.out of Berlin, did a survey. These fans, by a total of about 70%, said

:07:16. > :07:20.they had lost faith in Fifa. Most disturbingly, 43% of the fund said

:07:21. > :07:25.they had lost the joy from football because of the scandal. It will take

:07:26. > :07:32.a lot to recover from that sort of fan abuse. Fifa has been about

:07:33. > :07:37.money, power, influence, it has not really been about what is best for

:07:38. > :07:42.the fans. Michael and Emanuel, thank you very much. Let us know what you

:07:43. > :07:48.think about that as well, all the usual ways of getting into edge. --

:07:49. > :07:49.getting in touch. Last month students

:07:50. > :07:51.at the London School of Economics set up a free speech society

:07:52. > :07:54.in response to what they say is increasing censorship

:07:55. > :07:55.on university campuses. Today in what they describe

:07:56. > :07:58.as an ironic move students are voting on whether

:07:59. > :08:00.the society should be banned. It's the latest in an on-going

:08:01. > :08:02.debate over free speech at universities -

:08:03. > :08:04.the use of safe spaces, The National Union of Students has

:08:05. > :08:09.told us it has to listen to people who find some opinions threatening -

:08:10. > :08:11.and some students argue that safe spaces are in place to make sure

:08:12. > :08:14.all students have a voice. Catrin Nye has been talking to those

:08:15. > :08:19.on both sides of the debate. Universities are places of debate,

:08:20. > :08:21.challenging ideas, and expansion But they are also places

:08:22. > :08:30.where minorities can feel safe. Not judged in a way

:08:31. > :08:39.they may be elsewhere. These two ideals are causing

:08:40. > :08:44.conflict on campus In the form of safe spaces, no platforming,

:08:45. > :08:53.and accusations of censorship. Today, lots of free speech advocates

:08:54. > :09:00.and some of their opponents have come together for an event called

:09:01. > :09:09.the New Intolerance on campus. People have conflated casual sexual

:09:10. > :09:13.assault and racist abuse directed towards individuals

:09:14. > :09:17.with expressions of ideals. What happened in Manchester

:09:18. > :09:19.with Germaine Greer, it was hypothetically

:09:20. > :09:21.that her presence on campus Depending on who you are,

:09:22. > :09:29.what is going on on university campuses at the moment

:09:30. > :09:32.looks very different. Students are increasingly "no

:09:33. > :09:34.platforming" controversial speakers and erecting safe spaces

:09:35. > :09:35.in which you cannot They are even banning

:09:36. > :09:50.newspapers, lads magazines, Mexican hats, pop songs,

:09:51. > :09:52.anything that these sensitive creatures find offensive,

:09:53. > :09:59.they are banning. So safe spaces are spaces

:10:00. > :10:03.where students and all people can come together, to have discussion

:10:04. > :10:05.and debate without feeling In some cases whole unions may be

:10:06. > :10:13.a designated safe space. Not necessarily but there would be

:10:14. > :10:19.safe space policies. To my mind, it is a censorious

:10:20. > :10:21.space, it forbids you from expressing discriminatory,

:10:22. > :10:23.homophobic, racist ideas, Surely people should not be

:10:24. > :10:32.expressing homophobic Some people oppose gay marriage,

:10:33. > :10:37.from a religious perspective, and student unions would describe

:10:38. > :10:40.that as "homophobic speech", which is not allowed

:10:41. > :10:43.inside a safe space. That to me is an example

:10:44. > :10:49.explicit censorship. LGBTQIA students do not need to hear

:10:50. > :10:52.in their union homophobic views Jewish students do not need to hear

:10:53. > :10:58.anti-Semitic views to understand This is about having the debate

:10:59. > :11:03.in a way which allows them to feel The National Union of Students has

:11:04. > :11:09.an official no platform list. They have told us they have

:11:10. > :11:12.to listen to students who find some On top of that list,

:11:13. > :11:18.individual unions and student groups Some recent decisions have

:11:19. > :11:25.caused a stir. Feminist writer Julie Bendall

:11:26. > :11:28.was barred from speaking at the University of Manchester's

:11:29. > :11:31.union, they said her views on trans people would incite hatred

:11:32. > :11:36.and breach their safe space policy. I was banned from Manchester

:11:37. > :11:42.for having the wrong opinions as a gay man,

:11:43. > :11:44.I think... I was supposed to talk about "does

:11:45. > :11:47.feminism have a problem Both sides of the debate

:11:48. > :11:51.were banned, they did not even want An NUS rep refused to share

:11:52. > :11:56.a platform with gay rights activist Peter Tatchell,

:11:57. > :11:58.a decision that is still An ex-Muslim and vocal critic

:11:59. > :12:11.of Islam, this is a talk At Goldsmiths I was allowed to speak

:12:12. > :12:18.but the Islamic Society tried to intimidate the audience,

:12:19. > :12:26.tried to disrupt the meeting. Do you understand the need

:12:27. > :12:30.for a safe space policy? As somebody who is a minority

:12:31. > :12:32.within a minority, an ex-Muslim and a migrant, I understand very

:12:33. > :12:37.well the concept of safe spaces. If anything, we are the ones

:12:38. > :12:40.who are unsafe and the Islamists who were threatening us

:12:41. > :12:42.for criticising us for questioning In an atmosphere where Islamophobia

:12:43. > :12:48.is a problem, is it not understandable that people do not

:12:49. > :12:51.want someone on a stage, in a place where they want to feel

:12:52. > :12:54.safe, criticising Islam in the way You have to make a distinction

:12:55. > :12:58.between attacking people Throughout history, criticism

:12:59. > :13:07.of religion has been an integral In protest at what he sees as campus

:13:08. > :13:24.censorship, this student, Charlie Parker, has set up a free

:13:25. > :13:27.speech society at LSE, some students are currently trying

:13:28. > :13:32.to ban it. Hello, are you all right,

:13:33. > :13:37.how are you doing. The rugby team you were suspended

:13:38. > :13:39.from playing for handing out sexist leaflets, it is one of a number

:13:40. > :13:43.of acts that he sees as a crackdown There was a banning of T-shirts,

:13:44. > :13:49.a couple of years ago, which depicted Jesus and Muhammad,

:13:50. > :13:52.it is ludicrous to think that students are being told

:13:53. > :13:57.what they can and cannot wear. Free speech has always been

:13:58. > :14:01.there to help and protect minorities, if you look at gay

:14:02. > :14:04.rights movements, civil rights movements, feminism,

:14:05. > :14:06.all the great social progression, made possible through the use

:14:07. > :14:15.of freedom of expression. Did you not think the best way

:14:16. > :14:18.to tackle homophobia and sexism on campus would be to tackle it

:14:19. > :14:21.with debate and discussion as opposed to banning it

:14:22. > :14:24.and avoiding it? No; I am a Jew, I believe that

:14:25. > :14:28.if somebody puts forward Nazi views and propaganda they

:14:29. > :14:32.should be banned. A lot of the time, these horrible

:14:33. > :14:51.views are often the things that trigger debate

:14:52. > :14:52.which are so important. If that is able to happen,

:14:53. > :14:55.the problem is, sometimes they do not necessarily

:14:56. > :14:57.listen to the criticism. What is your opinion,

:14:58. > :14:58.do you understand why We are not trying to limit free

:14:59. > :15:03.speech, it is a specific space set up so that you can have discussions

:15:04. > :15:06.that do not get derailed by people trying to put forward their own

:15:07. > :15:09.agenda or saying things that can be If somebody says, don't say that

:15:10. > :15:16.because it is hateful or offensive, I do not feel my free

:15:17. > :15:19.speech is taken away, Save space in theory

:15:20. > :15:30.is important but in practice, it can be just a space where people

:15:31. > :15:34.come and simply agree with each other, and it can feel intimidating

:15:35. > :15:37.in ways if you don't know the lingo and you do not understand the kind

:15:38. > :15:40.of rhetoric that goes The problem that free speech has

:15:41. > :15:44.is when policies like safe spaces begin to use the censorship

:15:45. > :15:46.as a means of protecting minorities. When a speaker is not able

:15:47. > :15:51.to speak at a university, as has been the case, that does not

:15:52. > :15:54.mean they cannot speak. Of course they can,

:15:55. > :16:05.but it is the principle Suddenly they begin to dictate

:16:06. > :16:09.what all students can and cannot say, because safe spaces demand

:16:10. > :16:12.tolerance, and in itself, it seems like a very

:16:13. > :16:19.intolerant thing. Last year, Tommy Robinson, the head

:16:20. > :16:22.of the English Defence League, was interviewed by

:16:23. > :16:26.the student newspaper. The year before that,

:16:27. > :16:28.George Galloway did a talk Many believe him to

:16:29. > :16:32.be a rape apologist. Freedom of expression

:16:33. > :16:37.here is thriving. We will let any become

:16:38. > :16:40.here and speak. He thinks safe spaces

:16:41. > :16:42.are needed in some cases, to allow minority

:16:43. > :16:44.voices to be heard. Public institutions in the UK have

:16:45. > :16:48.been dominated by white straight men for a long time, whether

:16:49. > :16:52.that is politics, media, the judiciary, in the UK we have 12

:16:53. > :16:56.Supreme Court judges, We have some problems when it comes

:16:57. > :17:01.to structural barriers If women and if ethnic minority

:17:02. > :17:11.students on campuses want to self organise to help to overcome some

:17:12. > :17:14.of the barriers they face, Can you see the need for a place,

:17:15. > :17:22.a safe space, where anyone from any background can feel comfortable

:17:23. > :17:26.and confident to express their views, when there may not have

:17:27. > :17:28.been able to before? They say that because black students

:17:29. > :17:42.have not had the same capacity to express themselves

:17:43. > :17:44.in others that might have, therefore we must mirror that

:17:45. > :17:46.discrepancy on campus, by creating a safe space

:17:47. > :17:48.especially for them, I get that question all of the time,

:17:49. > :17:55.I am a white man, I refuse to judge When we talk about some of this,

:17:56. > :17:59.it is interesting to see people who talk about not being able

:18:00. > :18:05.to have their voices heard, they're very quickly able

:18:06. > :18:07.to have their voices heard everywhere, it is simply not

:18:08. > :18:10.the case that they are banned or censored, it is whether they are

:18:11. > :18:12.invited to a student Or uninvited because of protest,

:18:13. > :18:17.which has happened. In some cases, yes, and this

:18:18. > :18:20.is about student unions, Do you have the right to decide

:18:21. > :18:32.what is happening at a place where you are at a long time ago

:18:33. > :18:42.and may have changed and improved? I do, one of the things I did

:18:43. > :18:46.campaign against no platform. no platform was only used

:18:47. > :18:53.against racists and Zionists. We argued that if you censored those

:18:54. > :18:56.groups, there is nothing to stop the censorious logic from spreading

:18:57. > :18:58.and encapsulating more and more people, that is exactly

:18:59. > :19:01.what happened, throughout the 1990s, religious fundamentalists were no

:19:02. > :19:04.platformed, in some universities banned Eminem, on the basis

:19:05. > :19:06.that his music is homophobic. Once you accept the idea that some

:19:07. > :19:10.thoughts are just too dangerous to have in public life,

:19:11. > :19:13.then there is nothing to stop other There are elements of my education

:19:14. > :19:24.where I have felt uncomfortable. Most of us would be able to draw

:19:25. > :19:29.a distinction between times when we felt uncomfortable and times

:19:30. > :19:32.when we felt threatened. Some opinions are

:19:33. > :19:39.threatening for people. And we have to be able to listen

:19:40. > :19:48.to that view as well. Still to come before 11am.The

:19:49. > :19:53.incredible tale of long-lost sisters who spent 35 years looking for each

:21:36. > :21:47.Tottenham's victory over Fiorentina saw them through to the next round,

:21:48. > :21:54.they are joined in the draw by Manchester United and Liverpool, who

:21:59. > :22:02.threat to night from France. They won their two opening matches. They

:22:03. > :22:07.meet in Cardiff at the championship returned from a week off. Italy

:22:08. > :22:14.against Scotland and England against Ireland tomorrow.

:22:15. > :22:18.I promised squabbling boxes. Scott Quigg and Carl Frampton meet

:22:19. > :22:21.tomorrow. Carl Frampton is not happy that Scott Quigg will have the best

:22:22. > :22:26.dressing room at the Manchester Arena.

:22:27. > :22:36.This is my arena, I and the home fighter, I want the home dressing

:22:37. > :22:44.room. That is it. It is the star of the show's dressing room. It is my

:22:45. > :22:52.dressing room. This is embarrassing. He could not even sell his ticket.

:22:53. > :22:53.That is nonsense, you know it is. Let's hope they can take their

:22:56. > :22:58.when it comes to the Eurovision Song In fact, it's nearly 20 years

:22:59. > :23:03.since the UK last won the contest, But could our luck

:23:04. > :23:06.be about to change? This year there are big

:23:07. > :23:08.changes to the jury system, meaning each country

:23:09. > :23:10.will deliver their jury vote and all the public votes will be

:23:11. > :23:13.merged into the result. Organisers say it'll make

:23:14. > :23:15.the competition fairer and more So who will be representing

:23:16. > :23:20.the UK this year? Mel Giedroyc will host a special

:23:21. > :23:26.programme on BBC Four later tonight giving you the chance to pick

:23:27. > :23:29.the act that will represent us. Let's have a look at some

:23:30. > :23:32.of those in the running. # When you go, I can't

:23:33. > :23:55.see in the dark. # You shine a little light,

:23:56. > :24:02.shine a little light on me. # Hold on to me and

:24:03. > :24:15.I'll hold on to you. # I won't let go, I won't

:24:16. > :24:20.let go until tomorrow. # You're not alone,

:24:21. > :24:23.we're in this together. # All that you want

:24:24. > :24:26.is ready forever. So is there a winner

:24:27. > :24:53.among that group? Well, let's talk this

:24:54. > :24:56.and the new judging rules with two people that know better than most

:24:57. > :24:59.what it's like to be part - Candice McKenzie, was in the UK

:25:00. > :25:03.Eurovision jury in 2014, and Lee Ryan, from the boy band

:25:04. > :25:18.Blue, who came 11th back in 2011 You said you like to, but you are

:25:19. > :25:23.not allowed to say it on there, because this is like a proper

:25:24. > :25:27.election, you cannot influence people watching, everybody decides

:25:28. > :25:37.to nine. What do you think about the fact that the public can vote? It is

:25:38. > :25:46.good. It is amazing that England keeps trying. We have to keep

:25:47. > :25:49.trying! The UK have produced some amazing pop acts that have

:25:50. > :25:54.influenced music around the world and still continues to do so. Your

:25:55. > :25:59.revision is the biggest song composition in the world, we should

:26:00. > :26:06.be up there, and it is a shame we are not. Is there an obvious for

:26:07. > :26:16.Miller that we are missing? Either that or nobody likes up -- as in

:26:17. > :26:25.Europe! I am joking! There is a structure that goes into it.

:26:26. > :26:29.Hopefully, one of these songs will do it, fingers crossed. You know

:26:30. > :26:34.about the internal workings, because you were one of the juror 's, tell

:26:35. > :26:43.us how that worked. How did you get picked? I was sent an e-mail, asking

:26:44. > :26:46.me if I would like to be part of it, in 2014. I thought it was a great

:26:47. > :26:52.opportunity. Because you have a particular background? Or as a

:26:53. > :26:59.representative member of the public? I have worked in the music industry

:27:00. > :27:06.for almost 18 years. You got the e-mail, presumably it was quite

:27:07. > :27:11.exciting? How did it work? We had to go to the BBC centre in White city.

:27:12. > :27:19.We judged the performances, the dress rehearsals, the semifinal

:27:20. > :27:25.twice, that was on a Tuesday and Thursday, and our votes got

:27:26. > :27:29.carry-forward. We did not vote in the final, we just watched it like

:27:30. > :27:33.everybody else. The weighting of your vote is interesting. When the

:27:34. > :27:42.public vote came through for you, you were in fifth place. Yes, and

:27:43. > :27:51.the jury voted us at 22. So we finished at 11. That year, the jury

:27:52. > :28:02.had just come in. We would have been number five in the system. This

:28:03. > :28:06.could influence the public to vote when they see at first, I don't know

:28:07. > :28:13.exactly how they will do it. Will it be like Strickler come dancing when

:28:14. > :28:21.you hold up the card? Just looking at you there, your moment at

:28:22. > :28:30.Eurovision... We cannot hear it, I was hoping we could. What did you

:28:31. > :28:39.think about more people power from now on, hopefully? It is good, and

:28:40. > :28:44.the new way of voting will encourage people to watch it to the end,

:28:45. > :28:47.because what I find is, with the old system, you can work out who is

:28:48. > :28:53.going to win by a certain point, because you can see how many points

:28:54. > :28:56.other countries are getting, and once a country has quite a high

:28:57. > :29:06.school, you can tell who will win, whereas with this way, the results

:29:07. > :29:09.from the public will be shown with the country that has the least score

:29:10. > :29:14.first, and you will only find out who the overall winner is at the

:29:15. > :29:17.end, so you have to stay to the end to find out who will win. What was

:29:18. > :29:24.it like when you were waiting to see how the voting pans out? It was like

:29:25. > :29:31.a blur, a dream. It is such a massive competition. We did the

:29:32. > :29:38.competition and some people said we should not have done it, whether it

:29:39. > :29:43.was good for us or not. It was good to represent our country, but we

:29:44. > :29:48.were so nervous. At the same time, so much good came out of it, so much

:29:49. > :29:55.great coverage. Whoever represents us this year, it will be amazing for

:29:56. > :29:56.their careers and they will have an amazing time no matter where they

:29:57. > :30:03.come. Let's hope this is our moment! And you can listen to the songs

:30:12. > :30:20.say. England's Chief Inspector of Schools

:30:21. > :30:23.says a "brain drain" of teachers is leading to a shortage

:30:24. > :30:25.of talent in the UK. Sir Michael Wilshaw says growing

:30:26. > :30:27.numbers of teachers are leaving to work abroad - and that more must

:30:28. > :30:31.be done to keep them working You've been getting

:30:32. > :30:35.in touch this morning. Tweet from Craig, "Teachers

:30:36. > :30:37.and doctors should be contracted to repay all costs for training

:30:38. > :30:42.before they leave the UK." Anonymous text, "Need to look at why

:30:43. > :30:45.so many teachers are moving abroad and work hard to increase

:30:46. > :30:48.the retention rate rather than tying The exodus is a symptom

:30:49. > :30:53.of an unrealistic workload, improve that and you won't have

:30:54. > :30:57.to force us to stay!" Well, earlier I spoke

:30:58. > :30:59.to Jessica Ferguson-Thomas, she's a primary school teacher

:31:00. > :31:02.who moved to Abu Dhabi in 2013. I asked her why she made

:31:03. > :31:07.the decision to move. It was the excessive workloads,

:31:08. > :31:11.working way into the evenings, hardly any time to spend

:31:12. > :31:14.with my family, so me and my husband, who is also

:31:15. > :31:16.a teacher, decided to look at what opportunities

:31:17. > :31:20.where available abroad. How long did it take

:31:21. > :31:24.you to make the decision? Well, we decided in March

:31:25. > :31:26.and we moved out in the August. It doesn't sound like you agonised

:31:27. > :31:37.over it for a long time? Basically, we were both at a crunch

:31:38. > :31:43.point, we would either leave teaching in the UK or

:31:44. > :31:47.try to teach abroad. We are both pleased we did,

:31:48. > :31:51.we both love teaching, fundamentally, but it was

:31:52. > :31:54.the workload and the time pressure was it not something you were aware

:31:55. > :32:02.of when you took the decision to train as a teacher and go

:32:03. > :32:08.into the profession? I was aware of it, I'm quite

:32:09. > :32:10.a hard-working person, but it is so much harder

:32:11. > :32:18.than you're ever told, and it is the long days and then

:32:19. > :32:21.working into the evening, and you are not a teacher,

:32:22. > :32:25.you are an admin person, It is a lot worse than

:32:26. > :32:31.you would ever imagine. Sir Michael Wilshaw has been saying

:32:32. > :32:34.that it is important to recognise the nobility of teaching and to talk

:32:35. > :32:41.up teaching as a profession that Is that something that you see,

:32:42. > :32:46.did you feel that you were going into a profession that

:32:47. > :32:49.would transform lives? That is one of the main reasons

:32:50. > :32:54.you become a teacher, you want to make a difference

:32:55. > :32:57.and you want to be that important person in a child's life,

:32:58. > :33:00.but in England you get so swamped down with everything else

:33:01. > :33:05.that it is hard to remember that. Which is why abroad,

:33:06. > :33:07.when the pressure is a bit less and you have more of a home life

:33:08. > :33:11.yourself, you can really focus What about the suggestion that

:33:12. > :33:17.because the taxpayer is paying huge amounts of money to train teachers,

:33:18. > :33:20.there should be a moral and possibly even contractual commitment

:33:21. > :33:23.for teachers when they are qualified To be honest, I agree

:33:24. > :33:34.that if it is ?30,000, which physics teachers will be

:33:35. > :33:36.getting in September, I got less than ?2000,

:33:37. > :33:43.I was travelling 80 miles a day to get to the school

:33:44. > :33:47.where I was placed so it did not even cover the petrol,

:33:48. > :33:49.so after working in England for two years as a teacher,I felt

:33:50. > :34:05.I had paid my bit back. Let us know your thoughts on

:34:06. > :34:09.teachers going abroad. But now an astonishing story for you. It is

:34:10. > :34:15.about Elaine Walker and Jackie Green. They were separated when the

:34:16. > :34:21.lane was adopted when she was weeks old. For 35 years, Elaine, who lives

:34:22. > :34:25.in Cleadon, search for Jackie, who lives in Croydon, without any

:34:26. > :34:29.success. Jackie did not know Elaine existed. An incredible coincidence

:34:30. > :34:35.brought them together, it turns out they had been framed Democrat

:34:36. > :34:40.friends online without even knowing it. It is an amazing story.

:34:41. > :34:46.Elaine, you knew that Jackie was out there? I knew she was out there, she

:34:47. > :34:51.didn't know about me. I had in 35 years of searching and just kept

:34:52. > :34:56.hitting dead ends and dead ends. What did you know about Jackie? All

:34:57. > :35:02.I knew was her Christian name and her maiden name, but there were gaps

:35:03. > :35:07.in the records when we tried searching. I couldn't find her. I

:35:08. > :35:12.knew she had been married but didn't know her married name, things like

:35:13. > :35:16.that. As I say, I hate to dead ends, I was coming up against brick wall

:35:17. > :35:22.after brick wall. -- I hit dead ends. Until last year, an elder

:35:23. > :35:32.brother of ours died. He died interstate. One of these are hunter

:35:33. > :35:36.companies got in touch with us and accidentally let slip Jackie 's

:35:37. > :35:43.surname. And amazingly, even at that point, you didn't twig that Jackie,

:35:44. > :35:47.who you knew online, effectively, someone you had... You had

:35:48. > :35:50.nicknames, you had been playing bingo online for eight years and you

:35:51. > :35:57.did not know each other's real names? I was Dukie11. I was

:35:58. > :36:03.Whiskey666. We will not go into those! Whiskey was the name of a dog

:36:04. > :36:10.that I owned. I took his name and added mine and birds. -- my numbers.

:36:11. > :36:17.So you knew each other under those pseudonyms. We were good online

:36:18. > :36:21.friends, that was it. It was the banter that was going backwards and

:36:22. > :36:28.forwards between us. Tell us about that. You were called the terrible

:36:29. > :36:33.twins? One of the chat managers called us the terrible twins. We

:36:34. > :36:37.used to keep her awake at work. She said she had to take a box of

:36:38. > :36:41.tissues in because she would be crying, not with sadness but with

:36:42. > :36:48.laughter, at the two thus bantering away, joking online. Nobody could

:36:49. > :36:53.get a word in edgeways, none of the other players. Lee and my sister, we

:36:54. > :36:57.were just going hammer and tongs at one another -- me and my sister.

:36:58. > :37:04.Device it is amazing that you were sisters and had no clue, but you had

:37:05. > :37:09.that connection online. What was it? I used to tell Jackie about my day

:37:10. > :37:15.at work and curse my boss and things like that. And I used to make a joke

:37:16. > :37:20.of it. And that would start it up. Till it was like a natural

:37:21. > :37:26.connection between you? It made me feel better, I would go home from

:37:27. > :37:31.work, I lived alone. I would go online and I would have a lot of

:37:32. > :37:35.banter with Jackie. Amazing. So take us back to that moment when you had

:37:36. > :37:40.been searching for Jackie, you didn't know the surname, then the

:37:41. > :37:45.surname was given by accident. I thought, where do I start? I

:37:46. > :37:51.suddenly thought, one of my favourite occupations now, I went on

:37:52. > :37:53.Facebook. And I searched for Jacqueline Green, there were

:37:54. > :37:58.thousands and thousands, different spellings. I didn't know whether it

:37:59. > :38:07.was green with an E on the end. But I narrowed it down to London. All

:38:08. > :38:12.the south. -- or the south. Eventually after about a week, I

:38:13. > :38:19.clicked on this one 's profile, and I looked at her and I went, she has

:38:20. > :38:27.got my eyes, she has got the face. I could see resemblances. So I sent

:38:28. > :38:33.her a message should and it said, hello, Jackie, you don't know me,

:38:34. > :38:39.but... Where you convinced? Yes, when I saw her face I just said,

:38:40. > :38:47.hello, Jackie, strange message but was your man, and I gave the full

:38:48. > :38:51.name, and I said because, if so, I am your sister -- was your mum. I

:38:52. > :39:03.gave my birth name and a lot of details. I got a message back at --

:39:04. > :39:09.a little while later, saying, hello, sis. Jackie, what did you think, you

:39:10. > :39:13.did not know you had a sister? I was thinking, how did she know my mum

:39:14. > :39:20.and dad's name? I am reading the story and I am thinking, hang on,

:39:21. > :39:27.something is clicking here. I message to her back and I went,

:39:28. > :39:39.hello, how do you know me? Which is natural. And she went, bingo. I

:39:40. > :39:47.went, I only played on one site, bingo port. She went, so did I, what

:39:48. > :39:52.is your player name. When I told her she went, I am your terrible twin,

:39:53. > :39:56.Dukie11. I sent her a message back, this is my landline number, this is

:39:57. > :40:01.my mobile number, give me a ring. She did. We were on the phone for

:40:02. > :40:06.three hours, and that was bit -- that was it. You have been

:40:07. > :40:11.inseparable since? We are on the phone every week. We are only

:40:12. > :40:16.separated by distance. She phones me every week because of my illness, I

:40:17. > :40:20.am always in and out of hospital with my illness. So she rings me

:40:21. > :40:26.every week just to make sure I am OK. And when she is not so good it

:40:27. > :40:32.is two or three times a week. There is another sister? In between the

:40:33. > :40:41.two others. And you want to find her? She was adopted at the same

:40:42. > :40:46.time as me. I have known about her all my life. My adoptive parents

:40:47. > :40:55.actually met her when they picked me up. I have never been able... What

:40:56. > :41:00.do you know? She is called Wendy, her last known address was in

:41:01. > :41:06.Scotland, she has a son and she was born in February 19 55. That is it.

:41:07. > :41:10.She was adopted. Obviously her name was changed, but her Christian name

:41:11. > :41:15.was kept the same, because she was older and Ansa ring to Wendy, so her

:41:16. > :41:20.adoptive parents kept her Christian name the same -- she was older and

:41:21. > :41:25.answering to Wendy. They changed her surname. That is all I know. It

:41:26. > :41:31.would be nice to complete the family. We would have to be the

:41:32. > :41:37.terrible Trio instead of the terrible twins. What would you do to

:41:38. > :41:43.find her, getting Jackie surname was a stroke of luck? I have tried

:41:44. > :41:50.different companies, I have tried heir hunters, years ago I wrote to

:41:51. > :41:55.Cilla Black on Surprise, Surprise, I have done the long lost families

:41:56. > :42:01.things, written to magazines. Every single one of them has hit the same

:42:02. > :42:06.brick wall. This is one of the reasons why I had agreed to come

:42:07. > :42:11.down to London and do these programmes, the fact that somewhere

:42:12. > :42:18.out there she might be watching. Let's really hope. If she is, please

:42:19. > :42:22.get in touch. I would love... I wrote to Cilla Black and said, I

:42:23. > :42:31.would like to meet my sister Wendy before my 30th birthday. It was

:42:32. > :42:35.roughly 30 years ago to now. So I am saying, now, Wendy, I would like to

:42:36. > :42:41.meet you before my 60th birthday in May. We will really hope. Let's see,

:42:42. > :42:46.maybe somebody is watching. Thank you for telling us your amazing

:42:47. > :42:50.story. Last month, students at the London

:42:51. > :42:55.School of Economics Saturday Free-speech Society in response to

:42:56. > :42:58.what they say is increasing censorship at university campuses.

:42:59. > :43:01.In what they describe as an ironic move, students are today voting on

:43:02. > :43:07.whether the society should be banned. It is the latest in an

:43:08. > :43:12.ongoing debate about free speech at universities, safe spaces and no

:43:13. > :43:15.platform bands. The National union 's students says it has to listen to

:43:16. > :43:18.people who find some views threatening, and there is an

:43:19. > :43:23.argument that safe spaces are there to make sure everyone has a voice.

:43:24. > :43:29.You can watch the website -- the video at the website and share it.

:43:30. > :43:32.Mark on Facebook says more like being and undemocratic. Unions

:43:33. > :43:39.should be places of free speech -- free speech. Want to read says safe

:43:40. > :43:43.spaces are feminists' excuse to discriminate against people, mainly

:43:44. > :43:47.men, they hate. Another person says they need to understand that their

:43:48. > :43:51.views and political correctness are active censorship. The world will

:43:52. > :43:56.offend you, so what? Thank you for your company, I will

:43:57. > :43:57.see you on Monday. It is an Oscars special. Have a lovely weekend.

:43:58. > :44:01.Goodbye. You know, you're quite funny

:44:02. > :44:03.for a girl. This could get nasty. I think

:44:04. > :44:11.you're talking to the wrong guy. If that was my daughter,

:44:12. > :44:15.I know exactly what I'd do.
