:00:00. > :00:09.east but largely dry with some sunshine, feeling a bit nippy.
:00:10. > :00:14.I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria.
:00:15. > :00:16.Welcome to the programme if you've just
:00:17. > :00:27.Hospital workers have been telling us about the impact it's having:
:00:28. > :00:38.On top of my ordinary shifts, I have worked extra shifts. That, I was so
:00:39. > :00:41.exhausted that at all actually giving up the profession.
:00:42. > :00:43.Lots of you are getting in touch with your experience.
:00:44. > :00:45.Jay on Twitter says the goodwill that oiled NHS
:00:46. > :00:49.to keep going has gone due to continual change and low morale.
:00:50. > :00:54.no-one wants to be a part of a system that is being
:00:55. > :01:03.Also on the programme - what impact can growing up
:01:04. > :01:07.with an alcoholic parent have on children?
:01:08. > :01:10.We'll talk to one 27-year-old whose father has recently died
:01:11. > :01:18.And Jane's already brought you all the winners and losers
:01:19. > :01:21.from this year's Oscars - before 11, we'll focus on diversity
:01:22. > :01:24.and hear how host Chris Rock poked fun at the oscars-so-white
:01:25. > :01:33.I am here at the Academy Awards are otherwise known as the white
:01:34. > :01:52.people'schoice awards. An Oscar at last for Leonardo
:01:53. > :01:57.DiCaprio. The 41-year-old won best actor for his survivor role in The
:01:58. > :02:01.Revenant. He used his speech to call for action on climate change.
:02:02. > :02:03.Thank you for this amazing award tonight.
:02:04. > :02:05.Let us not take this planet for granted.
:02:06. > :02:10.I do not take tonight for granted, thank you so much.
:02:11. > :02:15.The NHS is struggling with a shortage of doctors and nurses in
:02:16. > :02:19.much of the country. A BBC investigation has given a snapshot
:02:20. > :02:22.revealing that trusts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are
:02:23. > :02:27.actively recruiting abroad as they try to fill thousands of vacant
:02:28. > :02:31.posts. This is impacting massively. We have wrote a gap throughout the
:02:32. > :02:36.country in emergency medicine, and we are struggling to recruit doctors
:02:37. > :02:40.to emergency medicine. A warning of tough times ahead for shop workers.
:02:41. > :02:45.Almost one in three, or 900,000, could lose their jobs in the next
:02:46. > :02:48.ten years, according to the British Retail Consortium. The squeeze will
:02:49. > :02:52.be caused by more online shopping, higher taxes and the national living
:02:53. > :02:57.wage, they predict. The Raspberry Pi has become the most
:02:58. > :03:01.popular British computer ever made. British astronaut Tim Peake took one
:03:02. > :03:05.into space, and total sales are now expected to top 8 million. The new
:03:06. > :03:08.model has been unveiled with a faster processor, built-in wi-fi and
:03:09. > :03:11.Bluetooth. Customers in the UK will soon be
:03:12. > :03:15.able to buy fresh and frozen food online from Amazon. The retailer has
:03:16. > :03:20.signed a deal with the Morrisons supermarket chain to provide the new
:03:21. > :03:23.service, which is expected to begin later this year.
:03:24. > :03:27.And the German Chancellor Angela Merkel says Greece could plunge into
:03:28. > :03:30.chaos if neighbouring countries keep their borders closed the migrants.
:03:31. > :03:34.Austria has led a group of central European states who have put up
:03:35. > :03:38.fences, stranding migrants on the Greek side of the border.
:03:39. > :03:42.Let's catch up with all the sport now. Never mind the Oscars,
:03:43. > :03:46.Manchester City won football's first major award of the season. And there
:03:47. > :03:51.was a pretty Oscar-winning performance from Louis Van Gaal? We
:03:52. > :03:56.will be talking about that. The League Cup is not top of clubs'
:03:57. > :04:00.priorities at the start of the season, especially those of the
:04:01. > :04:03.stature of Manchester City, but it was a great final at Wembley
:04:04. > :04:08.yesterday, 1-1 at the end of extra time. It went to penalties. City
:04:09. > :04:12.made one change to their starting line-up, bringing back that up
:04:13. > :04:16.keeper, Willy Caballero. He let in five against Chelsea in the FA Cup
:04:17. > :04:20.last week, so there was some speculation that Manuel Pellegrini
:04:21. > :04:24.might draft Joe Hart, England's number one, back into the team. But
:04:25. > :04:27.the City manager said he had to keep his word because it would not have
:04:28. > :04:31.been right to drop him. The Argentinian paid him back and some
:04:32. > :04:35.in the shoot out, with three penalty saves to clinch the first silverware
:04:36. > :04:41.of the season. Yaya Toure scored the winning penalty, but the hero of the
:04:42. > :04:47.hour was Bolero, to give City a fourth League Cup title. Very happy
:04:48. > :04:53.for Willy Caballero. He deserved his moment. Personally, about my
:04:54. > :05:00.decision, I prefer to use the title than to lose my words and lose a
:05:01. > :05:03.chance for Willie not to play. What a weekend we had in the Premier
:05:04. > :05:08.League. Leicester went five points clear at the top of the table on
:05:09. > :05:11.Saturday, so Arsenal and Spurs were playing catch up yesterday. Arsenal
:05:12. > :05:16.slipped up at Manchester United, losing 3-2. What a few days it has
:05:17. > :05:20.been for Marcus Rushford. We talked about his debut last week on this
:05:21. > :05:24.programme, scoring twice in the Europa League on Thursday. Yesterday
:05:25. > :05:28.was his Premier League debut and he followed up with another two goals.
:05:29. > :05:31.The 18-year-old brought the feel-good factor back to Old
:05:32. > :05:34.Trafford. This almost got the biggest cheer of the day, Louis Van
:05:35. > :05:39.Gaal claiming that Arsenal players were diving. And just in case the
:05:40. > :05:43.didn't understand, he did that. The crowd loved it. Mike Dean didn't
:05:44. > :05:49.even raise a smile. But whenever Louis Van Gaal's reign ends, that
:05:50. > :05:58.will be a defining image. Can we see it again? I cannot see that enough.
:05:59. > :06:02.I have been told we can't. It is all over the internet. A lot of people
:06:03. > :06:07.are having a lot of fun with this over the last 24 hours. Various
:06:08. > :06:12.spoofs, those means across social media. Look at this one. In the
:06:13. > :06:16.spread addition, this is him doing his Leonardo DiCaprio impression in
:06:17. > :06:23.The Revenant, the opening scene with the bare. Here he is, crowd surfing.
:06:24. > :06:26.Or what about having fun on a slide? There are a lot of them that we
:06:27. > :06:31.couldn't show you at this time of the morning. Remember the picture of
:06:32. > :06:42.a Manchester night out that went viral before Christmas choir --?
:06:43. > :06:45.Those are brilliant. He was lamenting the fact that normally, he
:06:46. > :06:49.gets criticised for just sitting on the bench, and he has gone to
:06:50. > :06:53.another extreme now. It is a complete turnabout. Everybody loves
:06:54. > :06:57.him, for now. Until they lose their next match, perhaps. At 10.02, I
:06:58. > :07:02.will show him falling over once more. Nothing much to talk about
:07:03. > :07:05.apart from the football at White Hart Lane yesterday. Just a very
:07:06. > :07:10.important to-1 win for Spurs against Swansea City. They went three points
:07:11. > :07:13.above Arsenal in the table, two points behind leaders Leicester.
:07:14. > :07:17.They came from behind as well, Danny Rose with the winner inside the last
:07:18. > :07:21.15 minutes. A great day for Spurs fans, with the gunners losing as
:07:22. > :07:27.well, but no title talk from the manager yet. For me, Arab opponent
:07:28. > :07:33.is not important. Our performance is more important -- our opponent is
:07:34. > :07:43.not important to me. We have a lot of games ahead, 11th Premier League
:07:44. > :07:51.games -- 11 Premier League games. It is important to focus. That is about
:07:52. > :07:54.it. I can see people scrubbing away, getting that LVG picture ready for
:07:55. > :07:58.you at 10.30. If I haven't got it for you, I am going to fall over
:07:59. > :08:02.myself! That would be better! See you later.
:08:03. > :08:07.Thank you for joining us this morning, welcome to the programme
:08:08. > :08:09.if you've just joined us, we're on BBC Two
:08:10. > :08:11.and the BBC News Channel until 11 this morning.
:08:12. > :08:14.Over the next hour, we'll keep you up to date with the latest
:08:15. > :08:19.Lots of you getting in touch with your experience of the NHS
:08:20. > :08:22.facing a shortage of qualified staff.
:08:23. > :08:29.We were speaking to three NHS workers earlier, and you have been
:08:30. > :08:34.getting in touch. Julie says, I was in A on Friday morning and again
:08:35. > :08:38.last night with my 14-year-old. Staff were overworked and
:08:39. > :08:42.understaffed. I fear the number of hours staff are working and the
:08:43. > :08:46.mistakes that are being made. John says, I am a nurse in the south of
:08:47. > :08:50.England, very experienced in acute and community settings. I was forced
:08:51. > :08:53.to retire after 31 years in the service at the front line, due to
:08:54. > :08:58.whistle-blowing over bad and unsafe practice. My son is a junior doctor,
:08:59. > :09:02.and considering leaving to go into research if the new contract is
:09:03. > :09:07.imposed. He works in A Keep your thoughts coming in.
:09:08. > :09:11.You can get in touch in the usual ways -
:09:12. > :09:17.If you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate.
:09:18. > :09:24.Wherever you are, you can watch our programme online
:09:25. > :09:26.via the BBC news app or our website, bbc.co.uk/victoria.
:09:27. > :09:29.What impact can growing up with an alcoholic parent
:09:30. > :09:31.The National Association for Children of Alcoholics say
:09:32. > :09:34.there are 2.6 million children living with an alcoholic parent -
:09:35. > :09:37.but local authorities don't have a plan for dealing with them.
:09:38. > :09:39.Radio 1's Newsbeat is running a special programme looking
:09:40. > :09:44.We can speak now to Charlotte Hayman, who's 27 and from Cambridge.
:09:45. > :09:46.Her father Ian died in December after losing his fight
:09:47. > :10:01.You have decided to speak, because you feel that children of alcoholic
:10:02. > :10:13.parents need more help. Tell us your experience? I first realised about
:10:14. > :10:20.my dad's struggle in my early teens. It all came to a head when I was at
:10:21. > :10:25.university at about 17. Other than my family, my sister and my mum and
:10:26. > :10:31.a few close friends, I didn't have anyone to talk to about it. And I
:10:32. > :10:37.didn't know what I could do. And there are all of these feelings that
:10:38. > :10:43.you have, and you don't know how to process it. It's a very taboo
:10:44. > :10:48.disease, and it is not common close to talk out about it. It leads to
:10:49. > :10:53.embarrassing situations. So when you say there were few people to talk
:10:54. > :11:00.to, would you have wanted to, or did you want to keep it hidden? It was
:11:01. > :11:04.tricky, because perhaps the schools would have been willing to talk, but
:11:05. > :11:11.then I didn't want to embarrass my dad that way. You don't want to open
:11:12. > :11:18.yourself up to that judgment. People either laugh off alcoholism or
:11:19. > :11:23.think, they have a perception of an alcoholic person that is not
:11:24. > :11:27.necessarily true. Then there were groups that my mum went to the
:11:28. > :11:33.partners or families of struggling alcoholics. Again, as a teenager,
:11:34. > :11:41.that is not necessarily what you want. As a child, you do not want to
:11:42. > :11:46.chat with grown-ups about this sort of thing. Without my friends and
:11:47. > :11:55.sister, I would have struggled massively to deal with it. I think
:11:56. > :11:58.it is good to talk about these things and help work it out and
:11:59. > :12:07.realise it is not your fault and there is not much you can do to
:12:08. > :12:14.help, or find out ways you can help. When you work it out, tell us how
:12:15. > :12:18.you worked out what was going on. What were the first things you
:12:19. > :12:26.started to see and you had to piece together what was going on? We would
:12:27. > :12:29.soar to find a glass of wine in the morning, but it would be stashed
:12:30. > :12:35.down the side of the sofa, rather than openly in the kitchen, like, I
:12:36. > :12:40.had a drink last night. It began to be hidden. Then you would clean the
:12:41. > :12:47.house and find bottles of wine behind the sofa and things like
:12:48. > :12:53.that. When dad came out and said he was struggling and perhaps he should
:12:54. > :13:00.stop drinking, that was when it became very hidden. If you ever did
:13:01. > :13:05.find wine, you would be stuck behind a rock -- between a rock and a
:13:06. > :13:13.helpless, not knowing whether tell my mum or keep his secret and help
:13:14. > :13:18.them hide it. Must have been confusing for a child. It is really
:13:19. > :13:25.the goal. All of a sudden, you are stuck between your parents. -- it is
:13:26. > :13:29.really difficult. My mum loved him so much that she got frustrated with
:13:30. > :13:35.him. If he was jinking, there might be an argument, because she herself
:13:36. > :13:40.did not know how to help him -- if he was drinking. And we are not
:13:41. > :13:46.going to stand a chance if adults don't know how to deal with it. As a
:13:47. > :13:53.child, you have no clue where to go or who to talk to. What was your
:13:54. > :14:02.relationship like with him? It was really good. He was a great dad. And
:14:03. > :14:10.then he completely changed. It was very gradual. I was a proper daddy's
:14:11. > :14:18.girl, so I was very close with him. Then in my 20s, that diminished and
:14:19. > :14:24.I distanced myself from him more and more, because it became more and
:14:25. > :14:29.more difficult. And to know that he was hiding this from so many people
:14:30. > :14:33.and to either have to help him lie or to be the person to break my
:14:34. > :14:44.mum's hard again and his family's hard again by telling them that he
:14:45. > :14:47.was still drinking. The way you talk, it is like you lost your
:14:48. > :14:59.father a long time before he sadly died. It felt that way. I would
:15:00. > :15:04.often say to Kirsty, my sister, that he is a completely different person
:15:05. > :15:08.now. It is almost like now he has died, we are allowed to grieve for
:15:09. > :15:16.someone that we lost so long ago. That is what it feels like. Why does
:15:17. > :15:23.it feel like you can grieve now when you could before? Because he was
:15:24. > :15:27.still alive before, and it was about whether to help him and how to help
:15:28. > :15:29.him and whether he was going to be open to kick this disease and
:15:30. > :15:39.whether we would get him back. Whereas now, he is lost. I would say
:15:40. > :15:42.I lost my dad in my early teens, because he was not that man any
:15:43. > :15:51.more. There might have been glimpses of him, but he changed so much that
:15:52. > :15:59.now, I feel like there was so much anger before. It is difficult to
:16:00. > :16:03.explain. But there is so much anger for why he can't choose you over the
:16:04. > :16:10.alcohol. But when he became ill, that diminished. I felt like for
:16:11. > :16:19.him, we had to be strong. We all wanted to be there and we put it all
:16:20. > :16:23.aside. We were at the hospital. It completely changed. It was really
:16:24. > :16:29.difficult for my boyfriend particularly to understand, because
:16:30. > :16:33.he has only ever known the alcoholic dad, and me not really wanting to
:16:34. > :16:39.talk to him. And then suddenly, I was going to the hospital every day
:16:40. > :16:47.and really sad about it, because I allowed those feelings to come.
:16:48. > :16:56.Tell us more about the impact on a child. You felt he was choosing
:16:57. > :16:59.alcohol over you and your sister and your mum. It is not as
:17:00. > :17:04.straightforward as that, but that is the viewpoint of a child. How does
:17:05. > :17:11.that impact on your self esteem and everything else? It is crazy because
:17:12. > :17:17.as much as you tell yourself it is a disease, it feels like a choice and
:17:18. > :17:20.you constantly questioning why and you constantly question whether
:17:21. > :17:26.there is something you could be doing to help and constantly
:17:27. > :17:34.question whether you are doing the right thing to help and whether...
:17:35. > :17:39.You are constantly questioning yourself and questioning your role
:17:40. > :17:45.and what you can do and wondering, always wondering, what you will be
:17:46. > :17:51.coming home to. Children and teenagers should not have those
:17:52. > :18:01.worries. It should be what to wear to school and things like that. You
:18:02. > :18:04.ended up not doing very much housework and things to help out
:18:05. > :18:10.because you don't want to find any evidence, any alcohol, anything in
:18:11. > :18:18.the house to implicate him because you didn't want to be in that
:18:19. > :18:22.position again. It takes a confidence knock and it means you
:18:23. > :18:27.are always wondering what people think of your parents and think of
:18:28. > :18:32.you and you are always worried people will find out because it is
:18:33. > :18:38.so taboo that you do not want people to know. We gave the features of how
:18:39. > :18:47.many children have alcoholic parents. That surprised me. What
:18:48. > :18:50.would you say? Can you say anything from your experiences that would be
:18:51. > :19:01.helpful to others in the same situation? Just go and talk to
:19:02. > :19:08.someone, a friend or the other parent if they are not suffering or
:19:09. > :19:11.chat to a GP, just talking really helps me with it because it helps
:19:12. > :19:18.you realise a lot of thoughts and feelings you are having. It helps
:19:19. > :19:24.the process the whole thing and talking to people makes you realise
:19:25. > :19:32.you are not alone because it is not openly discussed, you eat feed like
:19:33. > :19:40.you are struggling alone. The figures are there, there are so many
:19:41. > :19:44.people and you have two feel like you are not alone and you are not
:19:45. > :19:50.going to follow in the footsteps of your parents, that you can break
:19:51. > :19:59.this and you can grow up to not be them, to be a normal adult. It is so
:20:00. > :20:04.recently that he died, it was just before Christmas, how do you
:20:05. > :20:09.remember him? Do you remember the dad of one you were very young or is
:20:10. > :20:14.it still too recent for that? It varies from day to day, which is
:20:15. > :20:18.bizarre, because you do not know what you are going to wake up
:20:19. > :20:24.feeling. Sometimes I will have a dream about my old dad and I will be
:20:25. > :20:29.filled with really warm memories and really nice things and sometimes you
:20:30. > :20:34.think more about the alcoholic side think more about the alcoholic side
:20:35. > :20:38.or I Will smell stale beer and it or I Will smell stale beer and it
:20:39. > :20:44.will bring back those horrible memories and it is a whole mixed bag
:20:45. > :20:49.of emotions. You do not know on a daily basis and I am trying to take
:20:50. > :21:00.it one day at a time, process each of those feelings as they come up,
:21:01. > :21:08.because usually when you grieve it is talking about the nice memories
:21:09. > :21:13.and things, but as a whole we need to look at him as a whole and all of
:21:14. > :21:21.that and get past the alcoholic side and get past the anger that I am
:21:22. > :21:29.feeling so I can get down to the nice memories and the real happy
:21:30. > :21:33.childhood that Kirsty and I had. I mentioned that the beginning you
:21:34. > :21:37.were talking about it is because you want other children in the same
:21:38. > :21:48.position to get more help. Have you had much help? Not so much. I am
:21:49. > :21:53.getting more now with him passing. I have reached out to my GP and I am
:21:54. > :22:04.going forward with mental health care. When I was younger, I didn't
:22:05. > :22:09.know who to talk to. I did not know, I did not think about it, I did not
:22:10. > :22:14.know that I could get help. You almost feel silly for going forward
:22:15. > :22:21.and saying this is happening to my dad, but it is massively affecting
:22:22. > :22:28.me, but of course it is. It is just a case of making people aware that
:22:29. > :22:33.they are not alone and they do not have to go through this on their
:22:34. > :22:37.own. They can put their hand up and say this is happening. It is a
:22:38. > :22:39.little bit embarrassing, but we can't get through it. Thank you,
:22:40. > :22:41.thank you very much Charlotte. And you can find out more
:22:42. > :22:43.about the impact of alcoholism on children - including
:22:44. > :22:45.help and support - at Newsbeat's website -

:23:58. > :24:00.been able to send one of its reporters to the city
:24:01. > :24:03.because it is too dangerous. But some of the people living

:24:32. > :24:35.without permission now risks being accused of
:24:36. > :24:40.plotting against Daesh. I am passing a crowd
:24:41. > :24:42.in a public square. I don't want to join them
:24:43. > :24:45.because they may have been told to watch a beheading,
:24:46. > :24:47.but thank God, it His offence, I'm told,
:24:48. > :24:55.was committing a homosexual act. Tomorrow I go back to work,
:24:56. > :24:58.a new week, with new hopes But I want to tell you
:24:59. > :25:04.about when Islamic State On Mother's Day,
:25:05. > :25:09.a cold winter morning, My brothers and sisters and I had
:25:10. > :25:16.planned a small party. As my taxi neared, clouds
:25:17. > :25:20.of smoke filled the air. The regime's warplanes
:25:21. > :25:23.had hit our street. People were running around,
:25:24. > :25:27.carrying the dead and the injured. One of my neighbours told me
:25:28. > :25:31.that my parents were hurt and had When we arrived there,
:25:32. > :25:36.the smell of blood and death They asked us to look at the bodies
:25:37. > :25:42.laid out in front of us to see His body was covered
:25:43. > :25:49.in shrapnel wounds. A voice said quietly,
:25:50. > :25:55."Don't go in yet". Two hours passed
:25:56. > :25:59.and finally a doctor "I have managed to save her life
:26:00. > :26:06.but she is very ill", he said. A neighbour of ours,
:26:07. > :26:09.who has a fruit and vegetable shop, "From now on", he said,
:26:10. > :26:14."You can work for me." A few weeks later, I was working
:26:15. > :26:20.in the shop when I heard gunfire and the boom of heavy
:26:21. > :26:24.weapons outside. My friend grabbed my arm and said,
:26:25. > :26:28."Daesh have taken over the city". Soon after that, a man
:26:29. > :26:31.I had never seen before shouted at me, "Hey, you,
:26:32. > :26:36.smoking is not allowed". Another cried, "Hey, you,
:26:37. > :26:41.why is your wife not wearing a veil? I heard loudspeakers
:26:42. > :26:45.in the streets saying some people were
:26:46. > :26:48.about to be executed. A group of blindfolded young
:26:49. > :26:51.men stood in handcuffs. In front of them, a masked
:26:52. > :26:54.man began reading. "Hassan, fighting
:26:55. > :26:57.with regime forces. Reza was a media activist,
:26:58. > :27:01.accused of speaking A man with a sword carried
:27:02. > :27:11.out the punishment. As I walked down
:27:12. > :27:13.the road cursing out loud, a group of Daesh's religious
:27:14. > :27:17.police rushed over and grabbed me. I tried to reason with
:27:18. > :27:23.them but it was no use. "You were cursing out loud.
:27:24. > :27:31.Your punishment is 40 lashes". And every day this week we'll bring
:27:32. > :27:35.you another instalment of his diary. Mike Thomson is a correspondent
:27:36. > :27:37.with Radio 4's Today programme and he helped this
:27:38. > :27:49.man tell his story. Extraordinary to hear his words.
:27:50. > :27:55.What can you tell us about the diarist? They were collated over a
:27:56. > :27:58.period of months, it took quite some time to put them together. We were
:27:59. > :28:02.extremely worried about identity is being revealed because the
:28:03. > :28:08.punishment for anyone speaking out is death. The secret need and the
:28:09. > :28:12.activist group he belongs to dedicate itself to trying to inform
:28:13. > :28:16.the world about what is happening there, because the place is to shut
:28:17. > :28:20.off. There is such brutality happening but no one can live
:28:21. > :28:24.without permission from Islamic State and phone calls and intimate
:28:25. > :28:29.use is heavily monitored and controlled. It was vital for them to
:28:30. > :28:34.get their story and the best way to do it seemed to be by diary. A
:28:35. > :28:40.testament to how strongly he feels about getting it out, the fact he is
:28:41. > :28:44.risking his life doing that. He is risking his life. It is thought at
:28:45. > :28:49.least ten people have been beheaded by Islamic State. Two of them in
:28:50. > :28:53.Turkey. The crossed the border and thought they were safe, but they
:28:54. > :28:58.evidence it or not. It is a very dangerous thing for him to do and it
:28:59. > :29:02.is a great tribute to him and other activists that they are willing to
:29:03. > :29:07.take this risk to help their city and they are doing this so well in
:29:08. > :29:10.the diaries we will be hearing from this week. Without their voices, it
:29:11. > :29:19.is so difficult to understand what is going on. It is the day-to-day
:29:20. > :29:23.reach of what is being done. The way it affects families, communities. We
:29:24. > :29:26.hear about it in a political or military context, here we are
:29:27. > :29:29.hearing what happens in people's homes and shops and on the streets
:29:30. > :29:32.and it is quite horrifying. And you can watch that film again
:29:33. > :29:35.on the Today programme's website. It's been revealed that a dog has
:29:36. > :29:39.been kept in a cage by police The pit-bull dog, called Stella
:29:40. > :29:43.was seized by police in 2014 and has been kept in a 3ft by 9ft cage
:29:44. > :29:48.in Devon ever since. She's being held under the dangerous
:29:49. > :30:40.dogs act and is now on death row. Sergeant Allan Knight,
:30:41. > :30:42.from the Devon and Cornwall Police dog handling
:30:43. > :30:47.unit, has told the BBC back to their owners
:30:48. > :31:05.during proceedings in the past. A few minutes ago, we spoke to
:31:06. > :31:10.Charlotte, whose father was an alcoholic and died a few months ago.
:31:11. > :31:14.She gave us a powerful insight into living with a parent who is an
:31:15. > :31:19.alcoholic. So many people have been getting to talk about what you have
:31:20. > :31:23.been saying. You have had a big impact. I just wanted to tell you
:31:24. > :31:26.what people are saying. Karen best has been in touch son of George
:31:27. > :31:34.best, who died from alcohol-related issues -- Cal best. He said, well
:31:35. > :31:39.done for speaking up. Another says, the strength of my family kept it
:31:40. > :31:43.together and kept my mother alive. She has come out positively on the
:31:44. > :31:47.other side after a long struggle. I fear the genetic impact, as I know I
:31:48. > :31:51.drink too much and have lost a cousin to the disease. However,
:31:52. > :31:56.strong family values and the wonderful NHS can do much to combat
:31:57. > :31:57.this problem. My condolences to your guest. Tracy says, my mum was
:31:58. > :32:34.alcoholic and died in 2011. Sophie says, what an inspirational
:32:35. > :32:37.young woman. And Heather has said, alcoholism is so isolating for the
:32:38. > :32:41.alcoholic and the family. Please don't suffer in silence. A lot of
:32:42. > :32:47.love for you out there. That is amazing. How is your family reacting
:32:48. > :32:55.now that you are speaking openly about it? I was quite worried about
:32:56. > :32:58.it, because I was being open about something we have been private
:32:59. > :33:07.about, but they were so supportive and amazing. We are all dealing with
:33:08. > :33:19.this big shock, but it has brought us closer. Especially as they family
:33:20. > :33:26.unit, but also as a bigger circle, my cousin and my aunties. Someone
:33:27. > :33:33.mentioned the genetic thing, and it is something that terrifies me
:33:34. > :33:43.because there is a cycle of that kind of thing patting down. --
:33:44. > :33:51.patting down. That was why I want to speak out, to break the cycle. It is
:33:52. > :33:57.understandable that that is something you have thought about. It
:33:58. > :34:07.is always there in your head. It is terrifying. It is difficult, but I
:34:08. > :34:13.guess by being aware of it and speaking out and by making family
:34:14. > :34:22.and friends aware that your parents were alcoholics, it helps you to be
:34:23. > :34:30.more aware of your behaviour. But as someone said, it is very isolating.
:34:31. > :34:35.Thank you, Charlotte. And thank you for those comments. Keep getting in
:34:36. > :34:36.touch. You can hear more from Charlotte in a Newsbeat special
:34:37. > :34:40.programme. A radical overhaul of the RSPCA's
:34:41. > :34:47.animal cruelty policy - now it's to reduce prosecutions
:34:48. > :34:50.and focus its efforts on pet owners. And we'll talk to a passenger
:34:51. > :34:53.on the Ryanair plane that was forced to make an unscheduled stop
:34:54. > :34:56.in Berlin because of a rowdy stag Some of the details of how that
:34:57. > :35:04.party was pretty shocking. It's time for the main
:35:05. > :35:14.news this morning. In the last few minutes, there has
:35:15. > :35:16.been trouble on the border between Greece and Macedonia as migrants
:35:17. > :35:20.have forced their way through borderlines and torn down razor
:35:21. > :35:22.wire. Many migrants have been prevented from moving north after
:35:23. > :35:23.countries began shutting their borders.
:35:24. > :35:28.An Oscar at last for Leonardo DiCaprio, after more
:35:29. > :35:30.than 20 years in Hollywood and six nominations.
:35:31. > :35:33.He wins Best Actor for his role in The Revenant and uses his speech
:35:34. > :35:35.to call for action on climate change.
:35:36. > :35:41.Best actress was won by Brie Larson, who played a kidnap victim in Room.
:35:42. > :35:43.Thank you to the fans, thank you to the moviegoers. Thank you for going
:35:44. > :35:47.to the cinema and seeing our films. The NHS is struggling
:35:48. > :35:50.with a shortage of doctors A BBC investigation reveals most
:35:51. > :35:56.trusts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are actively
:35:57. > :35:58.recruiting abroad, as they try to fill tens of thousands
:35:59. > :36:04.of vacant posts. We've got rota gaps
:36:05. > :36:07.across the country in emergency medicine and we're struggling
:36:08. > :36:09.to fill and recruit doctors You know there is only one story I
:36:10. > :36:23.am interested in! We will get there! These are your headlines
:36:24. > :36:25.this morning. Manchester City have
:36:26. > :36:26.claimed the first silverware They beat Liverpool
:36:27. > :36:28.on penalties in the League
:36:29. > :36:30.Cup final at Wembley. Willy Caballero was
:36:31. > :36:32.City's match winner. He saved three
:36:33. > :36:35.spot-kicks in the shootout. Arsenal have slipped up
:36:36. > :36:37.in the title race. Teenager Marcus Rashford
:36:38. > :36:41.scored another two goals. That's four in his first two
:36:42. > :36:45.appearances for Manchester United, but this also got one
:36:46. > :36:48.of the biggest cheers of the day, remonstrating with the fourth
:36:49. > :36:51.official and explaining how he thought Arsenal's
:36:52. > :36:59.players were diving. The Gunners' defeat was good
:37:00. > :37:01.for Spurs, as they came from behind
:37:02. > :37:04.to beat Swansea. Danny Rose scored their winner
:37:05. > :37:08.at White Hart lane to close the gap on leaders Leicester to two
:37:09. > :37:11.points once more. And one of the young athletes
:37:12. > :37:14.who lit the Olympic flame at London 2012, Adelle Tracey, has qualified
:37:15. > :37:16.for the World Indoor Championships in the 800 metres,
:37:17. > :37:18.beating Lynsey Sharp and Jenny Meadows in
:37:19. > :37:35.the British trials yesterday. That is all your sport. That makes
:37:36. > :37:43.me giggle every time. I look forward to you falling over later.
:37:44. > :37:46.Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is warning the Prime
:37:47. > :37:50.Minister David Cameron against fighting what she has called a
:37:51. > :37:53.miserable, negative, fear -based EU referendum campaign. Our political
:37:54. > :37:58.guru Norman Smith is at Westminster for us.
:37:59. > :38:04.It is an age-old question- does negative campaigning work? Is feared
:38:05. > :38:08.that card to play? That is the accusation being made against the PM
:38:09. > :38:12.and those who want to stay in the EU, that they are trying to give us
:38:13. > :38:17.the heebie-jeebies about leaving. You remember that the other day, we
:38:18. > :38:22.had warnings about the so-called Jungle refugee camp in Calais coming
:38:23. > :38:26.over to Dover if we left the EU. Then we had those letters from
:38:27. > :38:29.business people wanting about the damaging economic consequences. Then
:38:30. > :38:34.we had the letter from military leaders about the security risks of
:38:35. > :38:38.leaving. Well, today we get another dossier from the government which
:38:39. > :38:41.says that it could take more than ten years to negotiate our
:38:42. > :38:47.withdrawal from the EU. In the meantime, it is argued that that
:38:48. > :38:52.would have a hugely negative impact on the economy, on the value of the
:38:53. > :38:56.pound, on jobs, questions over what would happen to the 2 million Brits
:38:57. > :38:59.still living in EU countries, what would happen to the fishing
:39:00. > :39:07.industry? Would they still have access to EU waters? The response of
:39:08. > :39:11.the Leave campaign is to say this is a dodgy dossier by Project Fear. In
:39:12. > :39:16.other words, they are tried to make us nervous about the idea of leaving
:39:17. > :39:19.the EU, that we just that, we will not do that. That was also the
:39:20. > :39:25.message, interestingly, from one of Mr Cameron's unlikely supporters,
:39:26. > :39:29.Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's First Minister, who is also campaigning
:39:30. > :39:31.for us to stay in the EU. She also cautioned Mr Cameron not to go
:39:32. > :39:40.negative, because it could backfire. I hope the debate we engaged in over
:39:41. > :39:46.the next few months is a thoroughly positive debate, because one of the
:39:47. > :39:52.undoubted lessons of the Scottish experience is that a miserable,
:39:53. > :39:58.negative, fear -based campaign saw the no campaign in the Scottish
:39:59. > :40:05.referendum lose, over the course of the campaign, a 20 point lead. I
:40:06. > :40:09.don't have to point out to anybody here that the ink campaign in this
:40:10. > :40:14.referendum doesn't have a 20 point lead -- the inner campaign.
:40:15. > :40:20.Boris Johnson, in this morning's Daily Telegraph, has picked up on
:40:21. > :40:26.that theme, saying the Brexit campaign is project hope. Those who
:40:27. > :40:31.want to remain our Project Fear. He says, are you frightened? Have
:40:32. > :40:35.Facebook you yet? The question is, does fear work? I guess if you look
:40:36. > :40:40.at the Scottish referendum, it did work -- have they spooked you yet?
:40:41. > :40:46.Maybe they are tried to do the same again. We also in for a debate over
:40:47. > :40:51.TV debates? I think we are. The broadcasters have come up with a
:40:52. > :40:56.series of proposals for TV debates. One will be hosted in Glasgow on May
:40:57. > :41:02.the 19th. Then there are two others in June, one done by David Dimbleby,
:41:03. > :41:08.I think on June 15, a Question Time style debate where the rival
:41:09. > :41:12.leaders, presumably the Prime Minister and maybe Boris Johnson,
:41:13. > :41:16.may be questioned by a studio audience as they were during the
:41:17. > :41:22.general election campaign. Then there will be a third debate, which
:41:23. > :41:27.will be a much larger debate at Wembley Arena. They had that in the
:41:28. > :41:32.Scotland campaign, when they had a similar huge debate at the Glasgow
:41:33. > :41:38.convention centre. Talking to the good folk at Number Ten, they say
:41:39. > :41:42.the PM is happy to look at taking part in a debate. I get the idea he
:41:43. > :41:45.doesn't want to take part in the Wembley Arena one, which was
:41:46. > :41:52.described as a circus to me. Not very flattering. I think he will be
:41:53. > :41:57.happy to take part in the Question Time one. The key issue is, who goes
:41:58. > :42:01.up against him? Is it RS versus the PM? Is it Michael Gove versus the
:42:02. > :42:05.PM? Believe campaign have not said so far, but they say both Boris or
:42:06. > :42:09.Michael Gove would be very effective. So we could be facing a
:42:10. > :42:13.sort of showdown in a Question Time style debate between the PM and
:42:14. > :42:20.maybe Boris Johnson. What box office that would be. We will also have a
:42:21. > :42:25.big studio debate here on the programme in June.
:42:26. > :42:28.The RSPCA is changing the way it deals with cases of animal abuse
:42:29. > :42:31.The charity takes more than 1,300 people to court each year.
:42:32. > :42:35.After criticism of its record, it now says it will leave some cases
:42:36. > :42:37.to local authorities and state prosecutors.
:42:38. > :42:41.Our reporter Jim Reed looked into all this last year and is back
:42:42. > :42:53.Tell us how much power the RSPCA has? It is worth pointing out that
:42:54. > :42:59.these are some very grim cases of animal abuse. And it is worth
:43:00. > :43:02.explaining how these things work. These are criminal offences.
:43:03. > :43:06.Normally with a criminal offence, you would have the police
:43:07. > :43:08.investigating and then you would have an independent organisation,
:43:09. > :43:11.the Crown Prosecution Service in England and Wales, deciding whether
:43:12. > :43:15.there is enough evidence to take this to court and it is in the
:43:16. > :43:22.public interest. In animal abuse cases, you don't work that way. You
:43:23. > :43:26.have RSPCA inspectors investigating and a prosecution unit from the
:43:27. > :43:30.RSPCA deciding whether to prosecute. Critics say there are not the right
:43:31. > :43:35.checks and balances there. It means the wrong people can be taken to
:43:36. > :43:40.court. Last year, we looked into one case of Claude, an elderly
:43:41. > :43:45.15-year-old cat. He lived with the Burns family in Hertfordshire. Some
:43:46. > :43:49.neighbours called the RSPCA because, they said, he looked shabby and had
:43:50. > :43:53.been neglected. The RSPCA came round, and Claude was taken away and
:43:54. > :43:57.put down two days later, the family say against their wishes. Then Mr
:43:58. > :44:02.and Mrs Burns were prosecuted for animal neglect and animal cruelty
:44:03. > :44:05.and went through a two-year process before all the charges were dropped.
:44:06. > :44:16.We asked Richard Burns about the impact on him and his family. We are
:44:17. > :44:19.a nation of animal lovers. No one would want to be associated with
:44:20. > :44:25.animal cruelty. We loved Claude absolutely and never did anything
:44:26. > :44:30.near cruelty that cat. What kind of treatment did you get on the
:44:31. > :44:38.internet and social media? Well, I was compared to a paedophile. My
:44:39. > :44:45.daughter came across Facebook pages saying things that are not
:44:46. > :44:50.repeatable about me and the family. In that case, the RSPCA had to
:44:51. > :44:53.apologise, but it is those cases which have proved for a
:44:54. > :44:57.controversial over the last couple of years. What changes are being
:44:58. > :45:01.made? There are a couple. Part of this is about the types of cases the
:45:02. > :45:06.RSPCA is taking on. There are three areas where it says it will back
:45:07. > :45:13.away from prosecuting. One is hunting cases involving red coated
:45:14. > :45:15.hunts. Another is cases involving animal sanctuaries and a third is
:45:16. > :45:18.cases involving farms. It may prosecute in the future, but it says
:45:19. > :45:21.it will generally leave those cases to other authorities like trading
:45:22. > :45:25.standards or the CPS. As for cases of pets, it will continue to
:45:26. > :45:30.persecute, but there will be extra safeguards. There will be an
:45:31. > :45:35.independent complaints service, and it says it is going to stop
:45:36. > :45:40.publicising some of the prosecution cases as a way to increase
:45:41. > :45:46.donations, which is another area it has been criticised in the last few
:45:47. > :45:52.years. Let's speak now to Hayley Firman from the RSPCA. Are these
:45:53. > :45:53.changes and acknowledgement that the RSPCA has been overstepping the
:45:54. > :46:09.mark? We welcomed the review. The review
:46:10. > :46:14.covered all of our prosecution processes and it has made 33
:46:15. > :46:19.recommendations which we have embraced and are enacting in our
:46:20. > :46:22.processes. As a result of that review, we have had an opportunity
:46:23. > :46:26.to look at our business practices and lived to see how we can make
:46:27. > :46:36.improvements and continue to do a good job. Under the changes, would
:46:37. > :46:40.someone like Richard Bryans whose case we highlighted, go through the
:46:41. > :46:45.same sort of thing, or is that going to be a thing of the past? I would
:46:46. > :46:54.hope that is a thing of the past. The RSPCA acknowledges that in the
:46:55. > :46:59.past we may not have conducted an investigation or prosecution in the
:47:00. > :47:04.most measured ways and this has been helpful, the review, to look at that
:47:05. > :47:07.and we sincerely hope that incidences like that are things of
:47:08. > :47:14.the past and that we have learned from that experience. Why did it
:47:15. > :47:19.take this review to make the changes come about, because people have been
:47:20. > :47:26.criticising the RSPCA for years since it has been overstepping the
:47:27. > :47:32.mark? We had to do something, I suppose, and this seemed like an
:47:33. > :47:36.opportunity to have a review. I cannot say what it took so long, but
:47:37. > :47:43.it has happened and it has been a positive experience for the RSPCA.
:47:44. > :47:47.Your companion organisations in Scotland and Northern Ireland
:47:48. > :47:51.generally do not prosecute, they do not prosecute their own cases, White
:47:52. > :47:56.should you have this power in England and Wales but not use it in
:47:57. > :48:04.other parts of the United Kingdom? Because we can. There is the power
:48:05. > :48:10.to take private prosecutions. The RSPCA see it as a charitable purpose
:48:11. > :48:14.for them to enforce animal welfare legislation and at the moment, we
:48:15. > :48:20.are a leading player in that. Therefore, we use the opportunity to
:48:21. > :48:25.take a private prosecutions in the cases where we think it is
:48:26. > :48:32.appropriate. You will still have the right to do that going forward? Yes.
:48:33. > :48:41.That has not changed. Would you expect the number to be reduced?
:48:42. > :48:45.That is difficult for me to say. We have had to consider each case and
:48:46. > :48:48.it will depend on how many cases are referred to us from the inspectors
:48:49. > :48:57.are carried out investigations. I can say that we are looking to
:48:58. > :49:03.review each case and we review each case in accordance with the code for
:49:04. > :49:09.the Crown Prosecution Service and we make decisions following the code.
:49:10. > :49:12.If there are cases where we feed there should be prosecutions because
:49:13. > :49:19.they meet those standards, I expect we will be commencing prosecution.
:49:20. > :49:23.Equally, we are looking at how we can move forward in eight more
:49:24. > :49:28.educational and preventative type way, looking at ways we can work
:49:29. > :49:31.with people who we field have committed animal welfare offences
:49:32. > :49:43.and we are working with organisations to do that. Thank you
:49:44. > :49:48.for joining us. Some breaking news we are getting from Moscow. A woman
:49:49. > :49:53.has been arrested after reportedly being seen outside a Metro station
:49:54. > :50:00.with a severed head of a child. She was dressed in black and shouting
:50:01. > :50:03.God is great. That just three. Reportedly, a woman has been
:50:04. > :50:06.arrested in Moscow after being seen outside a Metro station with a
:50:07. > :50:09.severed child APPLAUSE Head.
:50:10. > :50:18.We will check out those reports and we will bring you more as we get it.
:50:19. > :50:24.The big talking point from the Academy Awards is the fact that for
:50:25. > :50:31.the second year running, the acting nominees were white. It did lead to
:50:32. > :50:41.boycott of the show. The host, Chris Rock, did not shy away from tackling
:50:42. > :50:47.the race run head-on. I am here at the Academy Awards, also known as
:50:48. > :50:48.the white people's choice. If they nominated hosts, I would not even
:50:49. > :50:51.get this job. Actors Whoopi Goldberg,
:50:52. > :50:53.Sacha Baron Cohen and Mark Rylance praised Chris Rock's
:50:54. > :50:58.hard-hitting monologue. I feel like, when you hire
:50:59. > :51:01.Chris Rock, whatever is happening in the zeitgeist will
:51:02. > :51:03.come through what he He pulled no punches
:51:04. > :51:09.and he was not polite. Chris dealt with it I think
:51:10. > :51:14.pretty well and you know, I think there is a bigger
:51:15. > :51:17.issue, which is there has to actually be greater diversity
:51:18. > :51:21.at all levels of Hollywood. I think it would be a shame
:51:22. > :51:24.if it was just tokenism and a few more black actors
:51:25. > :51:29.appear on the screen. I think at all levels,
:51:30. > :51:31.in all the production companies and all the studios,
:51:32. > :51:34.then needs to actually be positive discrimination and
:51:35. > :51:46.affirmative action. When he talks about people hanging
:51:47. > :51:50.from trees and that is why they didn't care about whether some one
:51:51. > :51:56.cinematography, you party class and you pass want to cry. I am not sure
:51:57. > :51:59.I want to be laughing at this. It is not just Hollywood he is responding
:52:00. > :52:07.to come it is to do with the killings of people by police and the
:52:08. > :52:09.number of African Americans who are in prison. There is a deep issue
:52:10. > :52:11.that needs to be addressed. With me now is Akua Gyamfi,
:52:12. > :52:14.is the founder of the British Blacklist, database
:52:15. > :52:26.of Black British Actors. What do you think about how Chris
:52:27. > :52:32.Rock handle it? He did the job was supposed to do. We all expected him
:52:33. > :52:37.to come out blazing, say something hard-hitting and that is the comedy
:52:38. > :52:41.we got used to. He does political, hard edged comedy. We knew he would
:52:42. > :52:46.take people down. I think he did a good job and handled himself the way
:52:47. > :52:50.people expected anti-cult of a feud things that needed to be spoken
:52:51. > :52:54.about. There was pressure on him, so some people are saying it wasn't
:52:55. > :53:00.enough, it shouldn't be comedy but he is a comedian and he did the best
:53:01. > :53:04.job he could do. He drew the analogy with sororities. We don't have them
:53:05. > :53:13.in this country but it is saying you are not in the right club. Was that
:53:14. > :53:19.a good analogy for him to draw on? Absolutely. It is people who are
:53:20. > :53:23.non-white looking in. It is across the industry and it is very
:53:24. > :53:27.exclusive. How did you get into this? You have to jump through
:53:28. > :53:31.hoops. You have got to be used before you can get in and are
:53:32. > :53:38.equivalent is doing things that are not supportive or positively
:53:39. > :53:42.representative of the community. Sometimes people think we have to do
:53:43. > :53:49.certain things to get in and it is a problem. How does that happen? A lot
:53:50. > :53:54.of actors spoke about it and they are saying the point is you just
:53:55. > :53:57.need to have black faces in movies in the same way that white faces
:53:58. > :54:03.are, but it is just not questioned and Chris Rock said every year
:54:04. > :54:09.Leonardo DiCaprio gets a great role, where the group rose for Jimmy Fox?
:54:10. > :54:13.How does that happen? Something needs to change in the industry and
:54:14. > :54:18.then the awards can reflect that. It is about letting non-white people, I
:54:19. > :54:21.represent black people but it is not white people, getting the chance to
:54:22. > :54:28.tell stories outside of the stereotypical boxes. It is not about
:54:29. > :54:32.slavery all the time or servitude, we have broader scope of stories to
:54:33. > :54:36.be told and we have to be allowed to tell them and it is about getting
:54:37. > :54:40.funding and support, it is the people who hold the keys to the kids
:54:41. > :54:44.sharing their knowledge of and the platform so more diverse stories can
:54:45. > :54:48.be told. There will be good to awards season, we have a broader
:54:49. > :54:53.range of films to choose from and the members and judges can make more
:54:54. > :54:55.informed decisions and we can look at the membership and spread that
:54:56. > :55:01.diversity as well. The industry needs to change. Do you think the
:55:02. > :55:06.process will speed up now it is being talked about in this way or
:55:07. > :55:11.does it go into, that was talked about this year, where does it go
:55:12. > :55:15.from there? That is why the people who boycott it has helped. People
:55:16. > :55:20.like Chris Rock speaking on the platform have helped. People behind
:55:21. > :55:25.the scenes have helped. We have to keep on talking about this and not
:55:26. > :55:29.let the industry say we are doing this because it is in the headlines
:55:30. > :55:32.but if you put down the line it will change and we will move onto
:55:33. > :55:38.something else. It cannot stop and we have to push the industry to
:55:39. > :55:42.change because otherwise... This has been going on, Richard Pryor, Eddie
:55:43. > :55:47.Murphy, over the years, these statements have been made. It is
:55:48. > :55:51.nothing new, but there is something different in the bus and around. I
:55:52. > :55:55.feel people will not take it lying down and there are so different
:55:56. > :56:00.mediums. The internet has been a massive ceiling breaker for people
:56:01. > :56:05.and you cannot avoid the talent and independent talent coming out from
:56:06. > :56:09.these communities. They give are talking about it. Let us know what
:56:10. > :56:10.you think about it. A Ryanair flight was forced to take
:56:11. > :56:12.an unscheduled landing in Berlin this weekend after members of a stag
:56:13. > :56:15.party became overly rowdy. The group of 12 from Southampton
:56:16. > :56:18.were among 170 passengers travelling from Luton to the Slovak
:56:19. > :56:19.capital Bratislava. According to German press reports,
:56:20. > :56:23.six members of the group became aggressive after being
:56:24. > :56:25.refused further alcohol. One member of the group
:56:26. > :56:27.then undressed. They may now face fines of up
:56:28. > :56:41.to ?20,000 and a possible Darius Davis was a passenger on
:56:42. > :56:47.board. What happened? It was a crazy flight. They were drug from the get
:56:48. > :56:51.go. Ten minutes into the flight one of the stag members still the
:56:52. > :56:55.trousers of someone else. One of them was exposed and he was being
:56:56. > :57:00.boisterous and naked from the waist down. He said I don't care if we
:57:01. > :57:09.crash, I have a helicopter and was spinning his genitals around. The
:57:10. > :57:12.passengers, I do not think they realised what was going on, they
:57:13. > :57:20.thought it was because it was a Ryanair flight. Most people were
:57:21. > :57:26.recording what was happening to put it on YouTube and essentially the
:57:27. > :57:31.stewards were not doing very much to help stop people recording and
:57:32. > :57:40.halfway through when it got too rowdy, he kept getting up, they said
:57:41. > :57:43.we are diverting to Germany. The vast majority of the group got
:57:44. > :57:49.arrested, a feud remained behind. There were children on board and it
:57:50. > :57:54.was terrible. You do not want to see that on your site. It ran our first
:57:55. > :57:58.evening of the holiday. You describe the most extreme thing going on. Did
:57:59. > :58:06.it come down after that or just keep going? If you can imagine very
:58:07. > :58:09.drunk, boisterous British going on, that is what it was. They were
:58:10. > :58:14.fighting amongst themselves. They would go quiet for two minutes and
:58:15. > :58:21.then he would stand up and put his genitals on the seat in of him and
:58:22. > :58:27.ask if the person wanted tea. It sounds funny now, but it wasn't at
:58:28. > :58:30.the time. Thank you for joining us. Ryanair have sent us a statement
:58:31. > :58:34.about the incident. They said we do not tolerate unruly or disruptive
:58:35. > :58:39.behaviour at any time. This safety and comfort of our safety --
:58:40. > :58:41.passengers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority. This is now a
:58:42. > :58:43.matter for local police. On the programme tomorrow we look
:58:44. > :58:45.at the number of homeless people risking their lives by sleeping
:58:46. > :59:10.in commercial bins. All sorts of other up and down the
:59:11. > :59:14.UK. It is fine and sunny after some wet and windy weather for some
:59:15. > :59:19.people. Has been snubbed in Northern Ireland. It has been turning back to
:59:20. > :59:20.green. Still some white stuff over the high ground. Pushing into
