# Walk on with hope in your hearts and you'll never walk alone. #. | :00:00. | :00:29. | |
This morning, the truth is no longer in any doubt. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Liverpool fans were not to blame for the events at | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
96 fans were unlawfully killed in Britain's worst ever | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
We'll talk to some of those who've been fighting for justice | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Also on the programme, a mum tells us how an epidural | :00:41. | :00:54. | |
before giving birth to her first child, left her paralysed | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
I feel very let down actually because I was saying, you know, so | :00:59. | :01:10. | |
many times that everybody that was around that would come and check, | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
that this wasn't, nobody was sort of escalating my concerns. Obviously if | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
that had been acted upon earlier maybe things would have turned out | :01:23. | :01:23. | |
differently. Watch that exclusive | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
interview after 10.30am. And a top British cycling | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
official has been suspended following allegations he made sexist | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
and derogatory comments to members Throughout the programme we'll bring | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
you reaction to that inquest ruling into the deaths at Hillsborough | :01:35. | :02:00. | |
and we really want to hear from you - particularly | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
if you or family members Do get in touch with us - | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
use the hashtag Victoria Live and If you text, | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
you will be charged Also a little later we'll bring | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
you the latest in our series ahead of the vote to decide | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
whether British should remain Each week we're looking | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
at a new topic and trying to separate the spin, claim | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
and counter claim from the facts. There are calls for senior police | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
officers to be held accountable over the Hillsborough disaster | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
in 1989 in which ninety-six Yesterday, an inquest jury | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
in Warrington ruled The fans' relatives say officers | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
should now face Thousands of people are expected | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
to attend commemorative events These two words have dominated | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
the Hillsborough families' campaign. Now, they are not just words | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
for the bereaved families, # With hope | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
in your heart # And you'll never | :03:01. | :03:21. | |
walk alone # You'll never walk | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
alone.# This was the families | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
response after a jury said their 96 loved ones | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
were unlawfully killed. On 15th April 1989, they were | :03:33. | :03:33. | |
fatally injured in a crowd crush. The jurors decided the man in charge | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
of the police operation was responsible for their manslaughter | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
by gross negligence. We've been called winging | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
Scousers and everything, but now people will understand why | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
we've campaigned for 27 years because we believed | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
in what we were doing was right and we had to do | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
this to get justice. There are still two criminal | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
inquiries. The alleged offences | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
they are investigating include gross negligence manslaughter, | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
conspiracy to pervert the course The heads of both inquiries | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
say their work will be finished After that, prosecutors will decide | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
whether or not to charge suspects. After 27 years, the families | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
of those who died have now got What's certain now is as Liverpool | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
moves into the next part of the story, the names of the ones | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
they lost will never be forgotten here at the home of the club | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
they died supporting. It took a long time coming. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Justice has finally prevailed. I think now we can let the 96 | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
truly rest in peace. I think the verdict around | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the Liverpool fans being totally exonerated of any blame is more | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
important than the actual one Last night, as the city of Liverpool | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
reflected on an historic day, its most famous landmarks saluted | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
those families whose lives Much more on Hillsborough throughout | :04:53. | :05:15. | |
the programme. First, Joanna has the rest of the day's news. | :05:16. | :05:16. | |
Good morning. Junior doctors in England will stage | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
another full walk-out this morning. This industrial action is the first | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
time in the history of the NHS that junior doctors have withdrawn | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
the provision of emergency care. NHS leaders say hospitals coped well | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
with yesterday's strike. With us now is our correspondent | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Catriona Renton who is outside St Thomas' Hospital in Central | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
London. Well, good morning, you will see the | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
picket line is starting to get very busy as junior doctors begin their | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
second day of their all-out strike action. Now yesterday hospitals said | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
that on the whole the services ran smoothly and in some cases, they | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
said that actually it was less busy than normal. Now, NHS England say | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
that 78% of junior doctors in England didn't go to work yesterday. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
So around 22% did not cross the picket line, but the BMA say that | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
only 20% of junior doctors in England are not members of the BMA | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
anyway. Now we have also heard NHS England say that 113,000 | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
appointments have been affected by the strike action over the last | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
couple of days and more than 12700 operations are being postponed. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
These postponements happened so that clinical people like consultants and | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
senior nurses can cover for the doctors while they are on strike. | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
There is a great concern, of course, that this will mean there will be a | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
surge in demand once the strikes are over because of the backlog, but it | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
does seem that there is no reconciliation between the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Government and the junior doctors on the near horizon. | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
Thank you very much, Catriona. British bank Barclays has reported | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
a 25% fall in profits for the first The company pointed to challenging | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
market conditions in banking as profits fell from over ?1 billion | :07:19. | :07:21. | |

the Republican party's nominee for US President after winning | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
all five of the primaries For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
won in four states. Our North America correspondent, | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
Nick Bryant reports. With five big wins in five | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
north eastern States, Donald Trump crowned himself | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
the presumptive nominee, a boxer, as he put it, | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
who'd just knocked out his opponent and didn't need to await | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
the decision from the referee. The billionaire seemed to be looking | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
towards the presidential election, attacking the likely Democratic | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
nominee, who he's taken Frankly, if Hillary Clinton | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
were a man, I don't think she'd get The only thing she's got | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
going is the woman's card and the beautiful thing is, | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
women don't like her, and look how well I did | :08:14. | :08:25. | |
wwith women tonight. with womebeat Bernie Sanders in four | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
out of five contests, opening up an insurmountable lead, | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
and she called for Democrats to come Whether you support Sanders | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
all you support me, Whether you support | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
Sanders or you support me, The Democratic race | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
is all Donald Trump's boasts, that can't yet be said | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
the Republican contest. Supermarkets have been criticised | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
for unclear pricing when it The Competition and Markets | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
Authority says that multi-buys and money-off deals | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
weren't always genuine. It specifically urged Asda to change | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
the way it advertises promotions. The announcement follows a complaint | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
by the consumer group Which?. British Cycling has suspended | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
its technical director, Shane Sutton, while an investigation | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
takes place into allegations Mr Sutton joined the sport's | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
governing body as a coach in 2002. He has been accused of sexism by one | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
rider and is reported to have made derogatory | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
comments about para-cyclists. Urgent action is needed to stop up | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
to 50,000 people a year dying early from air pollution-related | :09:33. | :09:44. | |
illnesses, according The Environment, Food | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
and Rural Affairs Committee says clean air zones are needed in dozens | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
of English towns and cities to cut Five cities are to get the zones | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
which they can charge The Government says all | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
councils have the powers We need to do more and I think we | :09:56. | :10:10. | |
probably need to make sure that those dirtiest of vehicles don't get | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
in. Delivery vans need to be changed. Lorries and others. We are | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
cleaning up our cities, but because we have so many vehicles, because we | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
need so many goods brought into the centre of cities this is where we | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
have a problem. The technology giant, Apple, | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
has reported its first fall Quarterly income is down 13%, | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
compared to the same There has been a sharp dip in sales | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
of Apple's signature product, the iPhone, for the first time | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
since it was launched in 2007. That's a summary of | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
the latest BBC News. Back to Victoria. | :10:43. | :10:56. | |
It is time for the sport and here is Hugh. It is going to be a busy | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
morning of sport. We have got a special guest with us. It is the | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Commonwealth Gold Medallist, Vicky Holland, she is here as we countdown | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
to Rio, just 100 days to go. This time, you will be a real contender. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
26th in London. How are your preparations going? Yes, the | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
preparations are going well. I have already qualified. So I will be on | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
the plane to Brazil and the preparations are geared around that | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
one day now. This whole season is about that one day in August. We | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
will talk about the Commonwealth Games because you won a gold medal | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
alongside the Brownlee brothers, how much have you and the likes of the | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
Brownlees increased the profile of the sport, has it surprised you? A | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
lot of it is down to those boys. Credit has to be given to them, the | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
way they won two medals in London captured the nation. The all the | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
fans of Team GB are getting behind Great Britain and it is great to | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
know that the boys started that. You were telling me earlier you have got | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
back from Cape Town. What's it like basically competing against a friend | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
regularly? It is a strange set-up, but it does really work for us. We | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
are housemates, team-mates, training partners, great friends on top of | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
that and we're good at leaving the training and the racing at the door. | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
We come home and it is just about, let's make dinner and let's sit down | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
and watch TV together, it is not about going over and over the day's | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
events. Jodie Simpson is a Commonwealth champion, but won't be | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
at Rio later in the summer. What do you make of the qualification for | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
triathlon, do you think she should have been there? I think | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
qualification is incredibly difficult, but we are in a fortunate | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
position in Great Britain that we have four girls who could all on | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
their day come home with medals from the Olympic Games. The criteria was | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
set so in 2015 you had to podium twice at two major events and then | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
the other criteria was to perform at the Gold coast event in April this | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
year, that was the event that Helen Jenkins won which qualified her that | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
third spot. Jodie could win a medal on her day, but unfortunately at the | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
races she needed to perform to qualify, she wasn't at her best. I | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
wanted to ask you before we go, a question about Shane Sutton, you may | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
have seen the story today. He is suspended after allegations of | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
discrimination, but what's it like for athletes in triathlon, is there | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
a route for you to report discrimination to UK Sport? Well, | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
for triathlon, it is very different. I can't comment so much on cycling, | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
it is not a sport I'm involved with, but with triathlon, I have been | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
really blessed to be in a sport that has been a pioneer for equal rights. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
We don't have different races for the men and the women. We don't have | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
different distances. All the pay is equal and the prize money is equal | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
and that's something, you know, is a testament to our sport and I hope | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
other sports will bring that on too. Brilliant. Vicky, thank you very | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
best of luck in Riio. Just 100 days best of luck in Riio. Just 100 days | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
to go, I will be back with the headlines at 9.30am, but we will be | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
looking at the new Team GB kit. There is lots to look forward to | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
this morning. A couple of messages from Ian and it | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
is about the events of yesterday. There have been few more moving | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
sights than the families of the 96 singing after the inquest yesterday. | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
The Crown Prosecution Service must now act, not in revenge, but out of | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
public interest and solidarity after 27 years." This e-mail from Martin, | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
"It is disgusting that The Sun newspaper which printed front page | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
after page blaming the fans for the disaster cannot find room on its | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
front page for the story." The truth is in no longer in doubt, the world | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
knows what the relatives of the 96 who died in Britain's worst ever | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
sporting disaster that everyone who died on 15th April had been | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
unlawfully killed and Liverpool supporters were blameless. The | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
inquests into the deaths of those who perished during the FA Cup | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
semifinal between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest found that the | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
police, the Ambulance Service, Sheffield Wednesday football club | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
all made mistakes which contributed to the disaster. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
So, an eight day a sunny day at Hillsborough, the stage is set for a | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
rerun of last year's classic. The teams have just left the field, | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
taken away by the referee. The trouble away to our left where there | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
is enclosure unliveable supporters. They came over the top of the fence | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
away to the left at the moment. There must be some 200 people on the | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
pitch. An ambulance has just come into the stadium and is making its | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
way through a vast crowd of people. There would seem to be dozens of | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
people lying on the ground and being attended to by police and St John's | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
ambulance. I saw two oxygen cylinders being carried. Some of the | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
people at the back from sheer fear are trying to climb up into the | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
upper tier once more. I have now seen 15 stretchers carrying bodies | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
away, alive I must stress, and they are ripping up advertising boards | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
because they are running out of stretchers. I can see a nurse has | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
been giving the kiss of life to one young fan who looks in deep stress. | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
I have doctored John Phillips with me. One chap I went to was | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
technically dead, he had no heartbeat, we managed to get his | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
heart beating, but I don't know what the state of his cerebral function | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
will be light. The sun is shining now and Hillsborough is quiet. The | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
gymnasium here at Hillsborough is being used as a mortuary for the | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
dead. And stewards, just as they did at the stadium, have cartons and | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
paperbacks, and they are gathering up the personal belongings of the | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
spectators, some of whom have died, some of whom are now in nearby | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
hospitals, and the red and white scarves of Liverpool and red and | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
white bobble hats of Liverpool, and red and white rosettes of Liverpool, | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
and nothing else out in the enclosure where all the deaths | :17:31. | :17:31. | |
occurred, and the sun shines now. After the inquest, some | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
of the Hillsborough families sang with relief | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
and jubilation outside court. # Walk on, walk on with hope in your | :17:39. | :17:51. | |
heart # And You'll Never Walk Alone | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
# You'll Never Walk Alone # Walk on, walk on with hope in your | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
heart # And You'll Never Walk Alone | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
# You'll Never Walk Alone. CHEERING | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
On the programme yesterday, we heard from Becky Shah | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
who lost her mum at Hillsborough, and to Gillian Edwards who was | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
at the inquest and have now become good friends. | :18:29. | :18:39. | |
It changes you, unrecognisably, I think, in many ways. And there is no | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
going back from something like that to how you were. How can there be? | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
To think what you were going through at home, and to think of your | :18:56. | :19:05. | |
brother, 13-year-old kid. My mum's friend woke me up and said, there is | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
a police car outside, and you just know, don't you? And so I went down | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
and invited him in. He asked me if I was my mum's daughter, and I said | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
yes. And he said to me that my mum had been fatally injured at the | :19:27. | :19:36. | |
disaster. I was only 17, and I said to him, the word fatally never | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
really registered, and I said, is she still alive? And he said, no. | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
And my world was just in total pieces after that. We can talk to | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
Becky again today. She is in Liverpool, there is a slight delay | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
on the line. Thank you for talking to us. Tell us how you are feeling | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
today. Well, obviously I am feeling very, very pleased with what | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
happened in court yesterday. The verdict is really couldn't have gone | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
any better, so we are absolutely delighted that everything we have | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
been saying for 27 years has finally been proven to be correct. The fans | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
have proven to be vindicated, totally exhilarated from any blame | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
whatsoever. The blame is now lying squarely where it belongs, with | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
South Yorkshire Police, Sheffield Wednesday football club, South | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
Yorkshire Ambulance Service, and we are absolutely delighted with that. | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
The only thing that we would say is, it should never, ever have taken us | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
27 years, almost three decades. Hillsborough has been a part of my | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
life for over half of my life. And I don't think when you have truth and | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
justice on your side in a so-called democratic and advanced | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
industrialised country, that that should either case. I think it is an | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
absolute disgrace that it has taken us this long, and there are people | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
who are no longer here, there are families and survivors for whom the | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
toll has been too much, they have become physically ill or mentally | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
ill and taken their own lives because of what they have been | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
through with Hillsborough, because of all the injustice and all the | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
sneering that we have had to endure for almost three decades. Wide EU | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
think it has taken so long? I think Hillsborough is not an isolated | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
case. If you look at Bloody Sunday, look at Orgreave and the miners | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
strikes, lots of deaths in custody where people have lost loved ones | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
and no one is ever held accountable, no police officer, no one in | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
authority has ever been held accountable, and I think it is | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
institutional. I think we have a culture where, after Stephen | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
Lawrence and obviously before Stephen Lawrence we had and still do | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
have institutional racism in the police. There is a culture of | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
institutional denial where they just don't seem to be able to take any | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
accountability whatsoever. We are all subject to the law, but they | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
seem to be above the law, and that needs to change. And that I think | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
has to be the legacy of Hillsborough going forward. This must never, ever | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
be allowed to happen again, and we need more accountability and more | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
transparency with the police and people in authority in this country. | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
We now know that the match commander on Monday, former Chief | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
Superintendent David Dukinfield, as people lay dying on the pitch, he | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
was already telling the head of the Football Association that Liverpool | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
supporters had broken through that gate. Is that part of the reason why | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
this false narrative has been maintained for so long, because | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
those lies were got out there so quickly? Absolutely. I remember I | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
was watching the match live from start to finish, and I remember | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
hearing those lies about the gate being broken down, and I just | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe what I have heard, | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
basically, that the gates had been broken down. It's just didn't tally | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
with what I had seen on the TV. I had seen supporters absolutely | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
distressed, traumatised, injured, dying, people just helping each | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
other, fans running to tear off advertising hoardings, and then all | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
of a sudden, I was confronted with this, and I couldn't reconcile what | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
I had heard with what I had seen. And I totally agree, getting those | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
lives out so quick only, and then just keeping building on them, | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
because what came out in the inquest was the police, what they were doing | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
at four o'clock in the afternoon around Hillsborough, was going | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
around and getting as many beer cans as they could find from all over the | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
place and putting them around Hillsborough to make it look as if | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
the fans had come completely tanked up. So there was a completely false | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
narrative right from the very, very start, and it became very difficult | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
to fight those lies. Because we were just so bereaved and traumatised at | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
what had happened, and then those lies, it was like the second | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
bombshell, it was unbelievable. I can feel you trying to control your | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
emotions now, and I totally understand that. Explain to us what | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
it was that has kept you going for almost three decades. What has kept | :25:20. | :25:28. | |
me going has been the love for my mamma and the love for my friend | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
that I lost, and the love for my little brother, my 13-year-old | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
brother who went to Hillsborough to watch a football match with his mum, | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
she never came home and he came back a different person. And knowing how | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
my mum, my friend and all my friends and all my family of Liverpool fans | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
were smeared, and I knew right from the very start, from the very bottom | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
of my heart, that this was a complete and total injustice. And I | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
knew this from before I was old enough to vote, and NUI had to do | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
something about it, and I had to do it not just for us but to make sure | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
it doesn't ever happen again. Becky, we are showing our audience a | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
picture... Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. What has also kept me | :26:21. | :26:29. | |
going has been the Hillsborough Justice campaign and people like | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
Sheila Coleman who has been absolutely fantastic, the love and | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
support we have got from the people in this city, Liverpool, has been | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
fantastic. This wouldn't have happened in another city, I am not a | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
Scouser, but I am so proud of what the city of Liverpool has achieved, | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
and my mum is here, her ashes are here, and I could be any prouder, I | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
love this city, and that is what has kept me going. We have just shown in | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
our audience a photograph of your ma'am, smiling and wearing great big | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
sunglasses, and she looks a happy woman. -- your mum. She was very | :27:05. | :27:15. | |
weak and fun loving, she had a great sense of humour, she loved a laugh. | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
-- very upbeat and fun loving. She also had a serious side, she liked | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
to read books and discuss politics and world affairs. I learned an | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
awful lot from my mum about the world and just general knowledge | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
about life, and she was more than a mother to me, she was a very special | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
friend who will never, ever be replaced. You have been magnificent, | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
as have the other relatives. We appreciate your time, thank you. | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
Thank you very much, and thank you for having me on. Becky talking | :27:57. | :28:06. | |
about her mum. From Mike, there will be no justice in the Hillsborough | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
case until those responsible are held to account. And from Sarah, | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
let's highlight the Dignity family and friends have had over the last | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
27 years. You deserve this now. And from Paul, how about a focus on the | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
southern times newspapers that glossed over the Hillsborough story | :28:23. | :28:32. | |
today. -- the Son and Times newspapers. The sun does repeat its | :28:33. | :28:43. | |
apology inside, and they remind readers they made an apology a few | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
years ago. And this from Don, an excellent day for football, time to | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
prosecute the people who got it so seriously wrong, justice for the 96. | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
If you want to get in touch, you are very welcome. | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
Still to come: Each week we are trying to separate the claim | :29:02. | :29:08. | |
counterclaim from actual fact when it comes to how to vote on the | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
referendum. Today we are looking at immigration. And the top British | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
cycling official has been suspended following allegations he made sexist | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
and derogatory comments to members of the GB cycling team. He denies | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
the claims. We will bring you the details on top to a member of the | :29:30. | :29:32. | |
British Paralympic team who he allegedly called a imp. | :29:33. | :29:41. | |
Here is Joanna with a summary of the day's news. There are growing calls | :29:42. | :29:48. | |
for senior police officers to be held accountable for the | :29:49. | :29:49. | |
Hillsborough disaster. Yesterday an inquest jury ruled that | :29:50. | :29:50. | |
all 96 Liverpool fans Thousands of people are expected | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
to attend commemorative events Two criminal investigations | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
into the disaster and its aftermath are ongoing and could finish | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
by the end of 2016. Becky's mother died at Hillsborough, | :30:01. | :30:12. | |
and she said she was relieved the victims were no longer being blamed. | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
We are absolutely delighted that everything we have been saying for | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
27 years has finally been proven to be correct. The fans have proven to | :30:22. | :30:28. | |
be vindicated, totally exoneration from any blame whatsoever. The blame | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
is now lying squarely where it belongs. | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
Junior doctors in England will stage another full walk-out this morning. | :30:37. | :30:38. | |

World Heavyweight Champion of the World Wladimir Klitschko. | :33:00. | :33:03. | |
This is from the Office of National Statistics. It is about the UK | :33:04. | :33:12. | |
economy and in the first three months of 2016, so the first three | :33:13. | :33:16. | |
months of this year, the UK economy grew by a little bit, 0.4%. But that | :33:17. | :33:23. | |
is down from 0.6% in the last few months of 2015. That just in from | :33:24. | :33:27. | |
the Office for National Statistics. At the start of this year, the first | :33:28. | :33:36. | |
three months of this year, the UK economy grew by 0. .4%, that's down | :33:37. | :33:42. | |
from 0.6%. That's from the Office for National Statistics. | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
It's now less than two months until you get to decide | :33:46. | :33:48. | |
whether Britain should remain in the European Union or leave. | :33:49. | :33:54. | |
Chances are you're a little bit frustrated | :33:55. | :33:56. | |
at the huge amount of spin, claim and counter-claim and lack | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
of facts that make it really hard to try and make a decision. | :34:00. | :34:02. | |
Each week on this programme we're trying to break down the key issues | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
and bring you facts in plain English so that you can make | :34:06. | :34:08. | |
We've already looked at the economy and jobs, | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
Our political guru Norman Smith has all the facts and figures. | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
Thank you very much indeed. Well, I guess immigration is one of the most | :34:17. | :34:23. | |
emotive and highly charged issues in this referendum campaign. Why? Well, | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
because the numbers just seem going up and up. We had the Chancellor, | :34:27. | :34:32. | |
just the other day inadvertently conceding that the number of | :34:33. | :34:35. | |
migrants come to go Britain would go up by three million by 2030. Think | :34:36. | :34:39. | |
of that, three million is equivalent to three cities the size of | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
Birmingham. Three Broms, that's an awful lot. Let's get the facts and | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
figures. So here is my, what I'm calling my traffic light of truth. I | :34:50. | :34:53. | |
put it on green for go because it does seem all systems go on | :34:54. | :34:59. | |
immigration at the moment with 323,000 more people coming to | :35:00. | :35:06. | |
Britain last year than left. And of those, 172,000 were from other | :35:07. | :35:10. | |
countries in the European Union. Why were they coming here? Well, 58% of | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
them were coming because they already had a job to come to. The | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
rest, the remaining 42%, well they came here, looking for work. What do | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
the Brexiters, those who want to leave say about this? I have turned | :35:27. | :35:29. | |
my traffic light of truth to red because they want to clamp down on | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
those numbers. Why? Because they say the pressure it puts on jobs and | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
services, getting your kid a place in school becomes harder. Getting on | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
the housing ladder, that too becomes much more difficult. They also say | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
we have got to get control of our borders. At the moment we can't | :35:46. | :35:51. | |
decide who comes in. It is a matter of sovereignty and lastly they say, | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
it is about security. If we don't know who is coming in then | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
potentially you could criminal gangs and terrorists able to come in and | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
they argue the only way to tackle this is to leave the European Union | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
so we're not bound by their rules on free movement which means any | :36:08. | :36:12. | |
European or member of the EU can travel anywhere else in the European | :36:13. | :36:16. | |
Union. This is what their main man Boris Johnson said about it. | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
It was never engraved in stone before 1991 or so that somebody | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
coming to this country from another EU country could arrive without a | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
job, you know, there was always a sense that workers could move | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
around, but you had to have a job. When I went to work in the Continent | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
in the late 80s you had to go to the commune and present your papers and | :36:38. | :36:40. | |
show what you were doing and so on. The idea that people just arrive, | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
that is a relatively new development. We were asking for some | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
modest restrictions to that and it is perfectly clear from what the | :36:49. | :36:51. | |
Home Secretary says, that we have got no prol whatsoever. It is time | :36:52. | :37:01. | |
it take back control. Let's look at the remain. I turned | :37:02. | :37:12. | |
our traffic light to amber. What would happen to the NHS if we didn't | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
have the nurses? Migrants from the EU, they say, also boost business. | :37:18. | :37:24. | |
They come here, they pay taxes, they create businesses which employ | :37:25. | :37:26. | |
people. They are good for the economy. Lastly, what about Brits | :37:27. | :37:30. | |
abroad? Around one million Brits live in other EU countries. What on | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
earth would happen to them if we said no to EU migrants coming here? | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, who is campaigning to stay in the EU | :37:40. | :37:45. | |
said this week on the Andrew Marr programme there is no silver bullet | :37:46. | :37:48. | |
when it comes to tackling immigration. I understand why people | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
are concerned about immigration. They're concerned about immigration | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
because it has an effect on public services, on jobs and that's why it | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
is important for us to control immigration, but as I say, control | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
immigration is hard. We have to keep working at it. That's exactly what | :38:06. | :38:09. | |
we're doing. If you look at membership of the European Union, if | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
we were to be outside the European Union, and have some of the | :38:14. | :38:18. | |
arrangements these Visa and our own controls? If you just let me finish | :38:19. | :38:22. | |
this point. If we were to be outside the European Union and still want | :38:23. | :38:24. | |
the sort of access to the single market that people talk about then | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
actually if you look where that's being done for other countries, they | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
have to accept the free movement rules without any say over those | :38:32. | :38:38. | |
rules. Well, so much for the politicos. We had a poll the other | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
day which showed that 46% of people thought the most important issue | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
facing us was immigration and the economy which I guess many people | :38:48. | :38:50. | |
might think would be the most important issue. Only 25% of thought | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
that was really the key issue, but here is a funny thing - at the same | :38:56. | :39:02. | |
time, the same questions asked by another polling company and well, | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
they seem to come up with exactly the opposite sort of answers. They | :39:08. | :39:14. | |
found out that 47% of people thought it was the economy that was the most | :39:15. | :39:19. | |
important issue. 24% thought immigration was the big one. What | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
does it tell us? Well, I guess it tells us to approach opinion polls | :39:24. | :39:28. | |
with a long stick, but I think it tells us something else Vic and that | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
is that people's attitude and opinion on immigration shifts and | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
sways. It moves around, maybe in part in response to the news how | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
high immigration is up the news agenda and significantly, just a few | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
weeks before we go to that critical vote on the referendum we will get | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
the latest figures on migration and they show a big leap upwards, that | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
could be bad news for Mr Cameron and those battling to keep Britain | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
inside the European Union. STUDIO: Cheers, Norman. | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
Let's talk to two business people with different views. | :40:06. | :40:08. | |
Margaret Wood, an award winning scientist and business founder, | :40:09. | :40:10. | |
and member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology, | :40:11. | :40:12. | |
who thinks Britain would be better off remaining in the EU. | :40:13. | :40:15. | |
And Pasha Khandaker, the President of the UK | :40:16. | :40:16. | |
Bangladesh Caterers Association, who has worked in the UK curry | :40:17. | :40:19. | |
He thinks Britain should leave the EU. | :40:20. | :40:26. | |
You are An immigrant yourself. How concerned are you about the levels | :40:27. | :40:36. | |
of immigration in Britain? I'm very much concerned. Our immigration in | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
general is fine, but I'm very much concerned about the European Union | :40:43. | :40:45. | |
immigrations. So you want to leave the European Union because you think | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
Britain would be able to have reduced levels of migration from the | :40:50. | :40:55. | |
EU? Definitely. Like we just listened, that's nearly about three | :40:56. | :40:58. | |
million people coming from the European Union. By 2030 according to | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
the Treasury. If it is 300,000 people for the last year, I can see | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
because I live in Kent, and the most of the people coming that way, I can | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
see how it is affecting my business and affecting the stand of my daily | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
life and I believe if we are coming out from the European Union, not | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
only the economic side, the immigration side, we can control it | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
nicely and we could have a better life without European Union | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
immigration. Margaret, what impact do you think there would be on | :41:30. | :41:32. | |
levels of migration if Britain voted to leave the European Union? You're | :41:33. | :41:41. | |
right Victoria, immigration is such a contentious issue I think it | :41:42. | :41:44. | |
wouldn't make any difference. People will still come to this country. | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
Pasha came to this country and made a huge success out TV it. We've just | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
had the president of the United States who has come to this country, | :41:56. | :42:02. | |
whether you agree with him or not, the United States of America was | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
largely built up on immigration. A lot of people coming from Europe as | :42:09. | :42:15. | |
it was and going into the United States, being successful and | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
building an economy that is number one in the world at this moment in | :42:20. | :42:25. | |
time. Do you not think the levels of net migration to this country are | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
too high at the moment? No. I think what we're finding people coming in, | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
I work a lot with the institution of engineering and technology. We have | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
a shortage of engineers, of people wanting to work in the engineering | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
and manufacturing industry. And we have some really skilled people | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
wanting to come and contribute into the economy of this country. I mean, | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
we've got the wonderful Crossrail here. Engineering provides such an | :42:55. | :43:00. | |
important part of the UK economy and sometimes it is overlooked. We focus | :43:01. | :43:06. | |
our attentions around the service industry, the banking industries, | :43:07. | :43:10. | |
but we need our engineers. We need to create the infrastructure. Why | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
can't you get skilled engineers from somewhere else in the world? We can, | :43:14. | :43:20. | |
but we are in a club. We're -- 43 years ago, we voted to go into the | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
European Union. I, Victoria, was sceptical, I have seen the | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
difference. I live, my business is up in Yorkshire. I have seen that | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
the EU has made a difference to Yorkshire. In terms of regeneration. | :43:35. | :43:41. | |
We lost a lot of the traditional industries and with that, there was | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
a lot of unemployment, what we're seeing is the north starting to | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
regaen rate itself and indeed, our Prime Minister talks about the | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
Northern powerhouse. Now then, we need that investment back in. Give | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
us the tools and let us do the job. OK, am I right in thinking that you, | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
I mean you say you're concerned about levels of immigration in this | :44:02. | :44:04. | |
country, but you would like more immigrants from other parts of the | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
world, ie India and Bangladesh because there is a shortage of chefs | :44:09. | :44:14. | |
in Britain's curry houses? What I'm saying, I'm greg with Margaret. My | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
father fought in the Second World War and I am proud to be an | :44:19. | :44:23. | |
immigrant and I am proud to live in this country. Britain has got 12,000 | :44:24. | :44:30. | |
curry houses. We contribute ?2.4 billion to the British economy. Why | :44:31. | :44:34. | |
can't you get the chefs from ind la and back derb? Because of the | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
European immigrants. It led to the numbers we have got from the EU? Too | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
much migration pressure. But the last lot of net migration figures | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
showed me had more immigrants from outside of the EU than from inside | :44:48. | :44:53. | |
the EU? At the moment what is going on which is not right, the figures | :44:54. | :44:56. | |
are not right. If you look at the immigration policy. If you look at | :44:57. | :45:03. | |
the unfair policy, think about to get hold of a chef from abroad, you | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
have got to pay him ?40,000 and he has got to speak English. If I got | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
married in Bangladesh and my wife wants to come to this country, she | :45:14. | :45:17. | |
has to speak English. I am a British citizen. In my son does the same | :45:18. | :45:23. | |
thing t happened to him. We are employing so many European Union | :45:24. | :45:26. | |
people in our curry industries. We are finding problems. They don't | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
adjust to the culture. They are don't love to work in this industry, | :45:31. | :45:35. | |
the language problems, many, many problems they are facing. My | :45:36. | :45:42. | |
question is - like here in Kent, at the GP service we are using at the | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
moment, if you want to book a GP, it is about three to four weeks | :45:47. | :45:48. | |
backlogs. Do you accept that, Margaret? There | :45:49. | :45:58. | |
are two reasons people say we need to reduce levels of immigrants in | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
this country, pressure on infrastructure, school places, GP | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
services, hospitals. And also the fact that the number of EU migrants | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
are depressing wages for British people? We have a minimum wage, and | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
you cannot builder and economy on cheap labour any more. It has got to | :46:16. | :46:21. | |
be high-tech. That is where engineering and technology come in. | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
We need to bring in the people that are going to make the economy, | :46:26. | :46:35. | |
evolve it, going forward. But no, I don't agree. Do you accept, which is | :46:36. | :46:42. | |
what the Leave campaign is saying, that the only way to control | :46:43. | :46:44. | |
immigration into Britain is by leaving the European Union? No, we | :46:45. | :46:51. | |
too often blame the youth. It is about our own Government controlling | :46:52. | :47:01. | |
our borders. -- we too often blame the EU. We can't always control the | :47:02. | :47:07. | |
borders because of the EU freedom of movement. You are right, it is the | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
free movement of labour, but by the same token, British people can go to | :47:12. | :47:18. | |
the EU and work there. I know a lot of people, a lot of friends, who | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
work in the U, from Brussels, we go down to Portugal a lot. It is a very | :47:24. | :47:31. | |
small island. Can we accommodate all those people if they all come back? | :47:32. | :47:39. | |
I don't want to see thousands of European people coming and working | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
with me, but I don't want to lose my right, I don't want a housing queue | :47:44. | :47:46. | |
for five years, I don't want to see my business suffering for a skilled | :47:47. | :47:54. | |
chef because of unskilled labour. Were people saying that about you | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
and your family when you came to Britain in 1970? No, because we had | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
enough space, and the British needed us to be here and we contributed | :48:04. | :48:06. | |
properly. My father was a Second World War fighter, he came to fight | :48:07. | :48:12. | |
for this country's liberation. I came here to join him to build the | :48:13. | :48:15. | |
economy. Thank you very much for coming on the programme, both of | :48:16. | :48:28. | |
you. Still to come: We will continue to bring you more reaction from | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
Liverpool. After ten, you will hear an interview with a man who lost his | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
18-year-old son in the disaster, and so many of you getting in touch with | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
us about our interview with Becky, whose mum was killed all those years | :48:45. | :48:54. | |
ago. Kirsty says, Becky who lost her mum at Hillsborough, incredible to | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
say that she knew this was an injustice before she was old enough | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
to vote. And Lynn, what an eloquent, why is young woman Becky Shah is. | :49:03. | :49:11. | |
And this tweet from Dalton, a great interview with Becky, whose mother | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
died at Hillsborough. What a brave, articulate young woman. Thank you | :49:17. | :49:19. | |
for those, do keep them coming in. British Cycling has suspended | :49:20. | :49:22. | |
its top boss over claims he made derogatery remarks | :49:23. | :49:24. | |
to several athletes. Shane Sutton is accused of telling | :49:25. | :49:27. | |
Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish that she should "go and have a baby" | :49:28. | :49:30. | |
after her contract was not renewed, and accused of calling | :49:31. | :49:34. | |
members of the paralympic We will talk to one of those | :49:35. | :49:37. | |
Paralympic cyclists before 11. Shane Sutton, who helped | :49:38. | :49:59. | |
mentor Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Bradley Wiggins to Olympic | :50:00. | :50:01. | |
glory before taking over the top role in British cycling, | :50:02. | :50:04. | |
denies all the allegations. Doctor Michael Hutchinson | :50:05. | :50:06. | |
is a former Team GB What do you think about these | :50:07. | :50:12. | |
claims? They are serious allegations, it is not the way you | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
can run a squad in a modern environment. We need to get the | :50:16. | :50:21. | |
bottom of it. He denies he has done anything wrong. Do you believe Jess | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
Varnish and members of the para- cycling team? I don't wish to sound | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
like I am dodging the question, because I am not. I want to see what | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
they come up with in the internal investigation. This sort of cycling, | :50:35. | :50:41. | |
this sort of team is very forlorn, high pressured environment, and a | :50:42. | :50:47. | |
lot of blunt talking goes on, and a lot of that is near some of the | :50:48. | :50:51. | |
lines you have to be careful along. -- this sort of team is very full | :50:52. | :50:59. | |
on. There is blunt talking in terms of, that was poor, you need to do | :51:00. | :51:02. | |
better, and then there is, go and have a baby. Yes, one of them is one | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
side of the line, and the other is the other side, and that is why an | :51:08. | :51:12. | |
investigation needs to look at it. Shane has denied making these | :51:13. | :51:15. | |
remarks, but he hasn't really told us anything about the conversations | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
that they supposedly came up in, and I would like to hear about that. The | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
fact is this is created a serious problem for British cycling at | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
precisely a point when they don't want it. It is 100 days before the | :51:28. | :51:34. | |
Rio games. He is the top man in British cycling, he took over from | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
Sir Dave Brailsford. How might this impact on the team? They currently | :51:38. | :51:45. | |
have their head coach and technical director suspended, that will affect | :51:46. | :51:48. | |
the entire team in terms of cord mating how the team works, how the | :51:49. | :51:55. | |
coaches work, all of the athletes. That takes them away from their | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
athletes, one of the other coaches having to be in charge. And if that | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
becomes permanent, they have to deal with that is an ongoing issue | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
running into Rio, adding that the point where you want the most stable | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
possible teams the athletes who are on the squad know that someone is in | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
charge, someone is looking after it, they have an environment that they | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
are familiar with and the coaches are familiar with. So it is | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
potentially a serious problem for GB, and they are under a certain | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
amount of pressure in the run-up to the Olympics anyway. Thank you for | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
talking to us, Shane Sutton denies the allegations. We did ask Jess | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
Varnish for an interview, she says he told her to go and have a baby, | :52:39. | :52:40. | |
but she is on a flight to Australia. A civil rights campaigner who was | :52:41. | :52:50. | |
exposed the lying about identity say she was forced back into the closet | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
as something that she doesn't identify with. Rachel Dolezal | :52:55. | :53:00. | |
identified as black, but it was revealed that she was the child of | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
white parents. She has been talking to HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur about | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
how her life has changed. You have been through the most | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
tumultuous, difficult year. You have in certain sections of the American | :53:17. | :53:19. | |
media been vilified, you have lost friends. Explain to me what life is | :53:20. | :53:27. | |
like for you today. Certainly is too is different than it was a year ago, | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
the same time. It is different in that I am not able to do the same | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
work that I was doing, which was very active in racial and social | :53:37. | :53:44. | |
justice. And to remind people who don't know, you were president of | :53:45. | :53:49. | |
the spoke any Washington state chapter the advancement of coloured | :53:50. | :53:55. | |
people, absolutely at the centre of local civil rights issues. Right, in | :53:56. | :54:01. | |
an unpaid position, along with the other on paid position I was in at | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
the time, the chair of police ombudsman commission for the city | :54:07. | :54:16. | |
for police account -- accountability, another race issue. | :54:17. | :54:23. | |
I was Professor of black studies at Eastern Washington University, and | :54:24. | :54:34. | |
also I was writing for the inland. And you lost all of those positions. | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
How do you make money today? To be honest, I am running right up to the | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
end of my unemployment, and have just secured a book deal, so I will | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
be writing through the summer. But it has been very tight circumstances | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
financially for the last year. To the outsider like me, it seems in a | :54:54. | :54:58. | |
sense of straightforward. You lost all of those positions, and you ran | :54:59. | :55:05. | |
into a storm of controversy, because you had passed yourself off as | :55:06. | :55:12. | |
something you were not, that is a black American woman activist, when | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
obviously you were a woman activist, but it seems you were not black in | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
the way people thought you were. I guess some people treated, treated | :55:24. | :55:32. | |
the media expose a about my identity. When your back story came | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
out? Yes, as an outing, like I was outed as a white woman. Personally | :55:38. | :55:46. | |
how I experienced it was it was more not coming out, but being put back | :55:47. | :55:51. | |
in the closet, but a closet with glass walls. It was the world being | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
told that I was something that I'm not, though I don't identify as. So | :55:58. | :56:06. | |
I felt it is not the entire world's business who my biological parents | :56:07. | :56:12. | |
were, how I was born, or what my childhood story was. That is Rachel | :56:13. | :56:15. | |
Dolezal to talking to HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur. | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
Coming up: We'll hear the shocking story of how complications | :56:20. | :56:21. | |
during an epidural left a new mother paralysed. | :56:22. | :56:27. | |
Lets get the latest news and sport in just a second. But first: | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
Let's get the latest weather update with Carol. | :56:32. | :56:37. | |
We have had everything with the weather, haven't we? Even just this | :56:38. | :56:45. | |
morning we have had a right array of weather. Doesn't it look beautiful? | :56:46. | :56:52. | |
You don't have to drive in it, then it is nice to look at! Author in | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
Scotland, you can see the variety, blue skies, lying snow. If you are | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
in the sunshine and out of the wind, it does feel white nice, but in the | :57:03. | :57:07. | |
wind, very cold. As we come a little further south, we don't have the | :57:08. | :57:11. | |
snow, but look at Gloucester, that is the kind of picture you want to | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
see. And I have another one, we are not done just yet. Is this the kind | :57:17. | :57:23. | |
of whether you like, crisp and cold? I don't like it to be too cold, I | :57:24. | :57:29. | |
would like the temperature to go up a little bit, I am wearing tights | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
under my jeans and it is nearly me! Too much information! I'm using my | :57:34. | :57:40. | |
words wisely here, but let's get on with this. What we have today is a | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
mixture, as Victoria rightly said, it is cold outside. We still have a | :57:46. | :57:51. | |
bit of wind going on, not as strong as yesterday, and wintry showers, a | :57:52. | :57:55. | |
mixture of rain, sleet, hail and also some snow on the hills, and | :57:56. | :57:59. | |
today for good measure, we are throwing in this afternoon some | :58:00. | :58:03. | |
thunder and lightning. A lot of blue skies around as we have seen from | :58:04. | :58:09. | |
those lovely pictures. If anything, the cloud will build through the | :58:10. | :58:13. | |
course of the day, and we will see further showers develop, and as well | :58:14. | :58:16. | |
as being wintry, there will be thunder and lightning embedded in | :58:17. | :58:22. | |
them. As we head into the afternoon, we still will have some wintry | :58:23. | :58:25. | |
showers across Scotland, particularly on the hills. In | :58:26. | :58:32. | |
between there will be sunshine. For Northern Ireland and northern | :58:33. | :58:36. | |
England, again it is that mixture of wintry showers, with the snow | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
predominantly on higher ground, feeling cold if you are exposed to | :58:40. | :58:44. | |
the wind. There will still be a few showers for Wales in the West, but | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
for most it will dry and Brighton. As we move through the Midlands into | :58:49. | :58:52. | |
East Anglia down towards the south coast and Kent, we are back amongst | :58:53. | :58:57. | |
the showers. Through the evening and overnight, they migrate eastwards | :58:58. | :58:59. | |
and eventually become confined to Windward Coast. Still a wintry | :59:00. | :59:06. | |
flavour to them as well, but under clear skies inland, it will be | :59:07. | :59:11. | |
another cold night. Also the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. We start | :59:12. | :59:17. | |
with sunshine first thing, and tomorrow it will be another | :59:18. | :59:21. | |
beautiful start to the day, with a few showers, but thicker cloud will | :59:22. | :59:24. | |
introduce rain from Northern Ireland through northern England, Wales and | :59:25. | :59:28. | |
parts of Scotland, and we will also have some snow coming out of that. | :59:29. | :59:34. | |
Ahead of it, we hang on to the sunshine, and the cloud won't build | :59:35. | :59:37. | |
on the south-east until later in the evening. Temperatures are around | :59:38. | :59:43. | |
about 40 Celsius. The snow remains courtesy of this area of low | :59:44. | :59:46. | |
pressure, and the ice bars remain tightly packed and windy, and | :59:47. | :59:52. | |
overnight more snow into Scotland, again predominantly we will see some | :59:53. | :00:01. | |
for a time. We will have rain across the South on and off as we go | :00:02. | :00:03. | |
through the course of tomorrow morning. This great big curl around | :00:04. | :00:09. | |
the area of low pressure, snow in north-east Scotland, rain and hill | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
snow across northern England, possibly heavier burst at lower | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
levels, rain in the south, but in between, drier and brighter. | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
It should never ever have taken us 27 years. Almost three decades. | :00:25. | :01:00. | |
Hillsborough has been a part of my life, but it has been a huge part of | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
my life. I'm Ben Brown, I will be reporting live from Liverpool. This | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
evening there will be a special memorial event here at St George's | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Hall to remember the 96 people who lost their lives in Hillsborough. We | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
will talk to the families about their long, persistent and | :01:23. | :01:23. | |
determined fight for justice. It's the second day | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
of the first-ever all-out junior doctors' strike in England - | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
with medics withdrawing both routine and emergency care in protest | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
at the imposition of a new contract. We'll bring you the | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
latest on the dispute. Also on the programme, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
a mum tells us how an epidural before giving birth to her first | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
child, left her paralysed I feel very let down actually | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
because I was saying, you know, so Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
with a summary of today's news. There are growing calls | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
for senior police officers to be held accountable | :01:57. | :01:57. | |
for the Hillsborough disaster. Yesterday an inquest jury ruled that | :01:58. | :02:08. | |
all 96 Liverpool fans Thousands of people are expected | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
to attend commemorative events Two criminal investigations | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
into the disaster and its aftermath are ongoing and could finish | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
by the end of 2016. Becky Shah's mother | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
died at Hillsborough. She said the long wait for justice | :02:25. | :02:25. | |
had taken an immense It is a disgrace that it has taken | :02:26. | :02:36. | |
us this long and there are people who are no longer here. There are | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
families and survivors who the toll has become too much. They have | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
become physically ill or mentally ill and taken their own lives | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
because of what they have been through with Hillsborough. | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
Let's go live to Ben Brown. Yes, we are here in Liverpool, a | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
mood not so much of celebration, but of ind vation many people here feel | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
by the rulings from the coroners jury yesterday at Warrington | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Coroners' Court. The ruling of unlawful killing and today, what we | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
are seeing here at St George's Hall are 96 lanterns which have been lit | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
in memory of the 96 people who died. There is a special memorial event | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
here later on this evening at St George's Hall where players past and | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
present from Liverpool and Everton football clubs will be among those | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
paying tributes to the dead. At six minutes past 3pm, the time that the | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
game at Hillsborough was abandoned, that is when bells across Liverpool | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
will ring out. Now, many people here are wondering if there will be | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
criminal charges as a result of the jury's conclusions yesterday and | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
they may have have to wait a bit longer. They have already had to | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
wait 27 years for the findings that were returned yesterday, but they | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
may have to wait up to a year longer for the Crown Prosecution Service to | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
bring charges if indeed they do and if they do, those charges could | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
include gross negligence manslaughter, perjury and conspiracy | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
to pervert the course of justice. Charges potentially against both | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
individuals and organisations. Junior doctors in England will stage | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
another full walk-out this morning. This industrial action is the first | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
time in the history of the NHS that junior doctors have withdrawn | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
the provision of emergency care. NHS leaders say hospitals coped well | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
with yesterday's strike. Barclays Bank has reported a 25% | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
fall in profits for the first The company pointed to challenging | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
market conditions in banking as profits fell from over ?1 billion | :04:47. | :04:50. | |

special guest right now. Wladimir Klitschko the former | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Heavyweight Champion of the World joins us now in Manchester today | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
promoting his summer fight What are your thoughts? This is my | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
first time in Manchester. Wet went to the soccer game last night and it | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
was amazing to see the atmosphere and meet people from Manchester. I'm | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
feeling great, finally we are getting to the stage with the first | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
press conference before Fury before our rematch on 9th July which is | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
great to know it is happening because I was thinking, is that | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
going to happen or not? Now between the European soccer Cup and the | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Olympic Games we got the date, the television date 9th July. The fight | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
will be staged here in Manchester and I'm looking forward to fighting | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
on British soil. You are 40 years old. So what's the fight about? Is | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
it pride? Is it revenge? Why the rematch? It's revenge. I made a | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
mistake. I made a mistake. 11-and-a-half years a I lost. It was | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
good. I'm enjoying the place and what is happening with me right now | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
is not being a champion and I'm taking this challenge seriously and | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
I'm on a mission to get my titles back. One of those titles which you | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
lost to Tyson Fury has gone to Anthony Joshua. What would you make | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
of a fight with him. It has been an incredible rise. A champion after 16 | :09:16. | :09:29. | |
fights? As soon as Tyson fury got the titles, one got last. I'm glad | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
Anthony Joshua got the title. I have always been a fan of Anthony Joshua. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
I met him at my training camp in Austria. He is a taent Liberal | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Democrat guy and I'm glad he won the title. And what if you lose to Tyson | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Fury this summer, you probably haven't contemplated it. Would that | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
be the end of your boxing career? I'm not going to lose against Tyson | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Fury. Otherwise I wouldn't stand here if I think I will lose against | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
Tyson Fury. I will conquer Tyson Fury in the ring on 9th July. Watch | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
me! He will say the opposite. Did you under estimate him in the first | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
fight because he performed very well? Well, I made a mistake. I was | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
physically there, but mentally I wasn't in the ring and you could see | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
it. I even let my hands go, how simple is that? Why against Tyson | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
tury after all these years? I was not present in the ring mentally. | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
But I will on 9th July. Mentally what's changed? After always | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
defending the titles, it's something that you have in your life, in your | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
life, boxing, it was for many years defending my titles, defending | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
titles. Conquering the man that is standing in front of me, that's what | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
I didn't do. I was defending the titles. So the hunger is back? The | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
hunger is back. What's the message for Tyson Fury and his fans before | :11:07. | :11:15. | |
the fight? Where is the camera? See the strongest one, Klitschko on 9th | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
July in Manchester and enjoy my win. Is it clear enough? Yes, it is a | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
clear message. Victoria, it is back to you. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
STUDIO: See, he wasn't scary at all, was he? My heart was going a bit! | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
Good morning, thank you for tuning in. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
It has taken 27 years to get answers, but yesterday the loved | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
ones of those who died in the Hillsborough stadium disaster | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
got the answers they'd been waiting for. | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
That everyone who died had been unlawfully killed, and that | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
Liverpool football fans were entirely blameless. | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
The inquests into the deaths of those who died during that 1989 | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest found that | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
police had made mistakes, and these contributed | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
96 men, women and children died in a crush at the stadium | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Throughout the programme this morning, we've been hearing | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
Let us talk to Barry Devonside whose 18-year-old son Christopher | :12:15. | :12:24. | |
died at Hillsborough, kept a video diary | :12:25. | :12:25. | |
during those inquests which lasted over two years. | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
My name is Barry. We lost our son Christopher on 15th April 1989. | :12:28. | :12:42. | |
Chris was our only son and he was 18 years old. As far as we are | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
concerned, he was a diamond to be around with and we loved him so | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
much. And we miss him every day. Come the Thursday prior to the | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
match, he asked me two times could he go and I said on each owication, | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
no. I said I don't want you go there, it is not safe. He came back | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
a third time and I don't know, I will never know why I said yes. | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
I wanted to make my way to where we said we would all meet up. All I | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
wanted to see was our Chris and he was brought in a black bag and they | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
opened the bag up and they opened the top of the bag so I had a clear | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
vision of his face. I bent down to give him a kiss on his head and this | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
police officer pulled me back. I shoved him away. How dare you invade | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
my space at the worst moment of my life. A dreadful, dreadful | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
situation, you go to a football match with your son and you don't | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
take him home. For quite a while now since we lost | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
our son Christopher, I have had a serious problem sleeping. I would | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
get up at 1am and 2am and stop up all night. These current inquests | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
have been going very slowly. It has now been getting beneath my skin and | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
affecting my sleep pattern. I left an hour earlier today because I was | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
finding it very, very difficult to deal with. | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
I know that my son Christopher was on top of four other bodies which | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
had been piled on top of each other. So you can imagine how difficult it | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
is to listen to this kind of thing. Our only son was laid down on his | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
back in a penalty area and today, the 31st March we were told that he | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
could have been alive, could have been alive, for at least an hour. We | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
have no evidence that anybody tried to save his life. | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
All we've got is memories of our lovely, lovely lad and an excellent | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
son. Thank you. Well, Barry is in Liverpool for us this morning along | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
with Dr John who was at the game that day and helped some of the | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
people affected. Barry, you know, listening to that, it is almost | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
futile to say it to you, but I'm going to say it to you anyway, we | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
are so, sorry for your loss, it is unbelievable still, isn't it? | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
It is, each and every family who have lost body, is dreadful. The | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
people I have got to know over the years attending all of the inquests, | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
all of the people loved the family or the person that never came home | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
from Hillsborough. In our case, as I said on the diary there, Christopher | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
never, ever caused us a problem. I don't want to be a biased ad, to be | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
seen in that way, but he never caused us a problem. He was a | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
pleasure to have around, and we loved him dearly. When the police | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
asked me to identify Chris, as I have just mentioned there, a police | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
officer tried to stop me from bending down to kiss him on the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
forehead, and I pushed him away, and when I bent down to kiss him, he was | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
still very, very slightly warm, and within two minutes, I am facing two | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
police officers asking me questions, who do identify? And I said, it was | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Christopher Barry Devonside, and they said, how did you travel here | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
today, and I said, I came by car, and I said what has that got to do | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
with identification? He said, we want to know about everybody's day | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
together. Did you stop off and have a meal and have a drink? What has | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
that got to do with identification? They asked me five direct questions, | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
and I gave them exactly the same answer, and I knew then, with my | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
brother-in-law and our kid, that the cover-up had already started, and | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
that's how the families have been treated for the last 27 years. And | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
you were there every single day of the inquest? I've not missed any one | :17:23. | :17:32. | |
of the 80 days, and myself and Steve Bright, somebody who lost his | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
brother, he and I have done somewhere around 320. The answered | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
your question is we have never missed a day regarding the last one. | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
We have to be there, we want to hear the sky will as lies of the police | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
officers who painted a picture, tainted Liverpool supporters in the | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
worst possible life because they were trying to cover-up the mistakes | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
that they made, and that is why families have stayed steadfast, and | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
where you have people, a large group of people, standing together, | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
shoulder to shoulder, you have solidarity. Where you have | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
solidarity, you have immense strength, and that is what the | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
families have done. Stick together and fight against the South | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Yorkshire Police. Some people watching won't know that you | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
approached former Chief Superintendent David Dukinfield | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
during the inquest to talk to him. Tell our audience what you said to | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
him. He had just finished being on the witness stand for six and a half | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
days, and I went out of court, it was a sunny day, and there was a | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
considerable number of families outside, and I saw him walking up | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
the corridor with two minders, his wife and another lady. I didn't plan | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
to do anything, I saw the opportunity and I walked towards | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
him. The two minders that he had stepped forward as though I was | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
going to cause a problem. I said, I just want to speak with Mr | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
Dukinfield. I said, my name is Barry Devonside, can you tell me why you | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
kept my wife and daughter and every other family waiting for 27 years | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
before you tell the truth? He stepped forward and said, Mr | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
Devonside, I can only apologise. I said, is that the best you can do | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
after 27 years? He said, yes, and I just turned and walked away. I got | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
the apology. He is an absolute disgrace to humanity as well as the | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
South Yorkshire Police, and his behaviour and the behaviour of other | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
police officers has to be brought to book. It cannot end with what | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
happened yesterday, it must be carried forward and the Crown | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
Prosecution Service should bring serious charges against a lot of | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
those police officers. John Ashton, can I bring you in? You saw the | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
disaster unfold, you understood some of the failings on that day. What | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
did you realise was happening on that afternoon? It was immediately | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
apparent that the emergency response was totally inadequate, and I had to | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
assume responsibility behind the Leppings Lane stand for initiating | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
the triage of the casualties to make sure that those who stood a chance | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
were dispatched the hospital first, and then at the end of the | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
afternoon, I finished up certifying six of the dead behind the Leppings | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
Lane stand. As Barry has said, it was very quickly apparent that there | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
was going to be a cover-up. It was apparent to me at the end of the | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
afternoon when I got thrown out of the gymnasium where the bodies had | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
been taken, and the police all gathered, and that is where I | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
believe that the narrative, the story, began that was fed in to | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
Margaret Thatcher and Bernard Ingram the following morning, that they | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
took back to Whitehall, that led in due course to very similar letters | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
going to the coroner from different Government departments and health | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
service bodies, freezing the emergency response. And I think the | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
spotlight needs now to shift onto the Whitehall responsibility, the | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
Cabinet papers that should be released in a couple of years' time, | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
we need to make sure that they don't disappear, that they are not | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
redacted. We need to know what conversations took place between | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
Margaret Thatcher, ministers of state, the press office, Bernard | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Ingram, that is what we need to find out next. Today is a day of | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
reflection, and today it is almost like a biblical deliverance for the | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
families, and it is important that they should really savour today and | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
yesterday before re-engaging with things that still have to be dealt | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
with. The layers of this onion go deep. Many of them have now been | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
uncovered, but there are more to come. I know that the families will | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
not rest until everything has had the light of day on it. Can I read | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
you send messages, gentlemen, from our audience watching you around the | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
country, and they are incredibly moved your words today. This is from | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
Chris, I am feeling really emotional watching guests on your programme. | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
My heart breaks for all those families. Jimmy says, these | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
interviews are hard braking I am not ashamed to have shed a tear. Aaron | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
tweets, heartbreaking stories of Hillsborough. This from Doug: It is | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
not the clock up of Hillsborough that needs conclusion, it is the | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
massive cover-up. And this from Adam, which is hopeful: Justice at | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
last for the 96, it gives people of all walks of life the hope that all | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
miscarriages of justice can be solved. Do you think that is true, | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
that you give hope to others, that miscarriages of justice can be | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
solved? As I said about people sticking together, and some of those | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
adding strength, where you have that kind of thing, it is in abundance in | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
the people of Liverpool, the people of Merseyside, and the people from | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
this region who have stood by the families and supported the families | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
from day one, and without that support, I'm not sure we would | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
achieve anything. You cannot treat people the way that the families | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
were treated, in the most despicable of ways, lies, the worst kind of | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
lies, have been told by an organisation called the South | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Yorkshire Police force, who should have been upholding the law, not | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
breaking the law, and as far as I'm concerned, the Crown Prosecution | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Service need to get their act together and bring charges against | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
many high-ranking police officers, and this should never be allowed to | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
happen again where 96 victims from 92 families are treated in the worst | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
possible way. The Crown Prosecution Service have to get this act | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
together. Can I just say, Victoria. If you look at today's Echo, the | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
groups that were identified yesterday, the organisations, the | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
police and the different organisations were identified | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
yesterday, they still show no shame. It is detailed in today's Liverpool | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
Echo. A still show no shame, they are using mealy-mouthed words and | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
they are not demonstrating any humanity, and it is a real crying | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
shame that we have people like that in senior positions. We have a moral | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
crisis of leadership in this country where people will not accept | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
responsibility when things go wrong, but they are happy to take the big | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
salaries and the honours and all the rest of it. These families have | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
shown the way for a moral renaissance in this country, and we | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
have to use this to go forward and clean-up Rotich public life, | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
starting with the parties identified by the coroner yesterday. -- we have | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
to clean up British public life. Up to a fortnight ago, members of the | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
South Yorkshire Police were still telling blatant lies. I will not | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
give you names, I will give you an example. The coroner read out a | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
statement that was made by a high-ranking police officer in which | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
he said, there was chaos on the pitch, there were over 200 police | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
officers walking around aimlessly. He made a second statement a week | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
later, the words chaos and 200 police officers walking around the | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
pitch with no leadership and no direction had been removed. He then | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
made a third statement, it was watered down again, and then he made | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
a fourth statement. How in any society can a high-ranking police | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
officer make one statement followed by watering it down on three | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
furthermore? That man should be charged with an attempt to avert the | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
course of justice. Gentlemen, thank you very much your time. We really | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
appreciated, thank you. Thank you for the opportunity. | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
Barry Devonside Liverpool for us this morning, | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
along with Dr John Ashton, who was at the game that | :26:34. | :26:35. | |
day and helped some of the people affected. | :26:36. | :26:36. | |
Barry lost his only son Christopher, who was aged 18. | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
Next, the key suspect in the Paris attacks has been handed over to | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
France by the authorities in Belgium. Salah Abdeslam was arrested | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
in Brussels last month after four months on the run. | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Let's speak to Lucy Williamson in Paris. | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
Remind us what he is accused of. He is believed to have played a central | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
role in both the planning and the execution of the November attacks | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
here. He hired the cars that we used to carry out the attacks, and he is | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
believed to have driven the suicide bombers at the Stade de France, he | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
drove them, police believe, to that location. Possibly he was meant to | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
carry out his own attack, but that never happened. So all of that is | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
heart of why France wants to talk to him, and this is a really key moment | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
for the country, because for the first time, they have actually got | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
somebody they believe was central to these attacks are live in custody in | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
France. And I should say, he is expected to appear before | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
magistrates later today, where he will be expected to be placed under | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
formal investigation, and we expect obviously he will be kept in custody | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
as well. Thank you, Lucy Williamson in Paris. | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
Junior doctors in England are taking part in the second day of all-out | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
strike action in protest at new contracts. | :28:09. | :28:09. | |
More than 20,000 medics are said to have walked out yesterday. | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
NHS bosses have urged patients to continue to use | :28:13. | :28:14. | |
This week's strikes are the first time doctors have stopped providing | :28:15. | :28:22. | |
emergency care in the history of the NHS. | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
Our Health correspondent Smitha Mundasad is outside | :28:27. | :28:27. | |
St Thomas' Hospital in Central London. | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
What's the mood on the picket line today? | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
You join me on the second day, there are fewer people here today, but | :28:37. | :28:45. | |
still a strong picket line, the second time that junior doctors have | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
walked out of emergency care, maternity care and even | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
resuscitation teams. An unprecedented action. But the real | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
question is, what is going to happen next? Both sides don't seem like | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
they are going to budge, they are sticking to their guns. With me are | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
two junior doctors who worked the night shift last night. Dr Richard | :29:06. | :29:08. | |
Lee, you an intensive care last night. There was some worry that | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
patients would flooding after the strike ended, or that junior doctors | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
would not be able to cope with all the jobs left for them. How was it | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
for you? Good morning. I was very reassured that the consultant | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
yesterday had replaced each of our roles, so there was no difference in | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
the level of staffing, and they were some ten years senior, so the | :29:31. | :29:34. | |
handover was very robust. There was no issue on patient safety. They had | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
set the plans for through the night, and it is normal for us to talk to | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
those same doctors through the night shift, and I spoke to them at the | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
point of handover about 9pm and through the night, and there was no | :29:47. | :29:49. | |
difference in the routine care and likewise in the daytime. Care had | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
been much the same as normal. So it is reassuring that the consultants | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
have got our back here, and they have said all along. They said it | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
was encouraging that we were out on the picket to make sure that we | :30:03. | :30:05. | |
could get our message across. Thank you. And you an intensive care, but | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
it feels like no side is budging here. What will happen next, and if | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
his contract lands on your door, what will you do? I think it is sad | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
that it has come to this, and we have public support at the moment, | :30:21. | :30:28. | |
we have 55 junior doctors telling us the contract is not safe, and the | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
Royal College as well, on the Government need to start opening up | :30:32. | :30:34. | |
and listening to us, and reopening negotiations with the BNA, and that | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
is the only way that this will be solved, by talking and sitting | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
around and making a proper contract for safe patients. 40,000 operations | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
have been postponed. Is it really worth it? Is there not something | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
else that you could have done to avert this? The indications of the | :30:51. | :30:56. | |
contract are being imposed will lead to greater patient safety risks, and | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
in order to prevent that, we have to do this, we have to do whatever we | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
can to increase public awareness and ensure that we have the right | :31:06. | :31:12. | |
contract. Delaying any patient care we feel terrible about, but we are | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
genuinely worried what is going to happen to the NHS. We are standing | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
up for what we think is going to affect it in the long-term. Thank | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
you for speaking to us, we have to end it there. Passions still running | :31:24. | :31:28. | |
high here, but the public will be watching carefully to see which side | :31:29. | :31:29. | |
makes a move. We'll hear from the mum left | :31:30. | :31:36. | |
paralysed and unable to walk by an epidural during the birth | :31:37. | :31:39. | |
of her first child. We'll bring you the | :31:40. | :31:54. | |
details and speak to a member of the British Paralypic | :31:55. | :31:56. | |
team who he allegedly called a gimp. Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
with a summary of today's news. There are growing calls | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
for senior police officers to be held accountable | :32:03. | :32:04. | |
for the Hillsborough disaster. Yesterday an inquest jury ruled that | :32:05. | :32:06. | |
all 96 Liverpool fans Thousands of people are expected | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
to attend commemorative events Two criminal investigations | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
into the disaster and its aftermath are ongoing and could finish | :32:14. | :32:19. | |
by the end of 2016. Becky Shah's mother | :32:20. | :32:22. | |
died at Hillsborough. She said the long wait for justice | :32:23. | :32:24. | |
had taken an immense I think it is an absolute disgrace | :32:25. | :32:36. | |
that it has taken us this long and that there are people who are no | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
longer here. There are families and survivors who the toll has been too | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
much. They have become physically ill or mentally ill and taken their | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
own lives because of what they have been through with Hillsborough. | :32:50. | :32:59. | |
The UK's economic growth has slowed. It was down from 0.6% in the final | :33:00. | :33:06. | |
three months of last year. The Office for National Statistics said. | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
Junior doctors in England will stage another full walk-out this morning. | :33:12. | :33:13. | |
This industrial action is the first time in the history of the NHS that | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
junior doctors have withdrawn the provision of emergency care. | :33:18. | :33:19. | |
NHS leaders say hospitals coped well with yesterday's strike. | :33:20. | :33:21. | |
The key suspect in the Paris attacks has been extradited | :33:22. | :33:33. | |
from Belgium to France, the Belgian Federal | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
Salah Abdeslam, who was arrested in Brussels last month | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
He is wanted in France for his role in the November attacks | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
Barclays Bank has reported a 25% fall in profits for the first | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
The company pointed to challenging market conditions in banking | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
as profits fell from over ?1 billion to just under ?800 million. | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
Donald Trump has won Republican presidential | :34:00. | :34:01. | |
primaries in five US states, while for the Democrats Hillary | :34:02. | :34:03. | |
Mr Trump called himself the Republican nominee | :34:04. | :34:07. | |
Mrs Clinton also made gains in the Democrat race, | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
but was denied a clean sweep by rival Bernie Sanders who won | :34:12. | :34:14. | |
It is time for sport. Manchester City boss says his side will have | :34:15. | :34:40. | |
nothing to fear when they travel to the Bernabeu. City sharing a | :34:41. | :34:45. | |
goalless draw with Real Madrid at home last night thanks largely to an | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
impressive goalkeeping display from their goalkeeper, Joe Hart. Ding | :34:50. | :35:01. | |
tharbd Mark Williams. Mark Selby is two frames away from the last four. | :35:02. | :35:08. | |
He leads 11-6. Ellie similar Mondays and Bethany | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
Firth broke their own records at the British para swimming trials with | :35:15. | :35:17. | |
100 days to go until the Olympics of course. And that's all the sport for | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
now. I will have more across the BBC News this morning. | :35:22. | :35:29. | |
Our business editor Kamal Ahmed joins me from the city of London. | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
Remind us about the figures first of all. I have been in West London at | :35:34. | :35:44. | |
Virgin Media and George Osborne, the Chancellor, was here this morning | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
having to sell one message. Economic growth slowed slightly. It is up | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
0.4% in the first three months of this year. That's compared to 0.6% | :35:56. | :36:01. | |
for the first three months of 2015. George Osborne really puts that down | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
to one thing and that is uncertainty around the European Union referendum | :36:07. | :36:12. | |
on 23rd June and uncertainty about whether after that referendum | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
Britain will be in or out of the EU. He said that investment has slowed | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
because of that referendum risk. That property deals have stopped. | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
That businesses have lost confidence really because of the uncertainty | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
about the referendum. He said there was a direct cost not just to | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
businesses, but to the public if we were to leave the European Union. I | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
did push him in my interview to say that actually the GDP figures, the | :36:41. | :36:45. | |
economic growth figures, signalled, there were more fundamental problems | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
in the economy, problems around productivity, problems around | :36:50. | :36:51. | |
manufacturing, problems around exports and that those problems had | :36:52. | :36:54. | |
been around for many years. They weren't just down to the short-term | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
ricks of the EU referendum. He said yes, there were other issues in the | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
economy, but the big decision that Britain makes on 23rd June was the | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
biggest issue at the moment. Of course, the critics of that position | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
and of George Osborne's position say that if Britain was to leave the | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
European Union that would be a huge boost to the British economy. That | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
we would be freed from the shackles of the European Union, but | :37:19. | :37:20. | |
certainly, George Osborne doesn't believe that. He thinks that or he | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
wants the public to focus on one issue. Is it better or worse for me | :37:26. | :37:31. | |
as a consumer, as an employee, as someone working in a business, if | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
Britain is in or out of the European Union? | :37:36. | :37:37. | |
Thank you. "I couldn't even say | :37:38. | :37:45. | |
the word paralysed." That's what Irrum Jetha, | :37:46. | :37:47. | |
a first-time mum left unable to walk following an epidural | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
has told our programme. In an exclusive interview, | :37:51. | :37:51. | |
the 34-year-old mum of one reveals that she repeatedly alerted medical | :37:52. | :37:54. | |
staff that after giving birth, the numbness from the epidural | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
wasn't wearing off and she couldn't Eventually a blood clot | :37:59. | :38:01. | |
was discovered on her spine. She underwent emergency surgery | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
and the next day was given the devastating news | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
that the damage was permanent. Paralysed and facing life | :38:11. | :38:11. | |
in wheelchair, Irrum and her husband Adam are now taking legal action | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
against the hospital for the delays in acknowledging | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
something was wrong. In their first broadcast interview, | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
the couple describe first of all, The birth was long, but yeah, I mean | :38:21. | :38:38. | |
it was amazing. I was induced at the hospital. So it did go on for quite | :38:39. | :38:45. | |
sometime. But when she finally came, yeah, it was amazing. It was | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
amazing. When did you start to think that something might be wrong with | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
your recovery from the birth? When I got moved down to the HDU, I had no | :38:56. | :39:04. | |
movement in my legs at all. And so when I was seen by the doctors and | :39:05. | :39:09. | |
the midwives, I asked them, I have got no feeling, I can't move my legs | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
at aland I was reassured that was normal and because it was my first | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
child, I didn't, I didn't know what to expect and that was fine. And you | :39:20. | :39:24. | |
were in the High Dependency Unit because of what reason? I have got a | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
heart condition. That was always part of the plan that I was going to | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
be in the HDU. The anaesthetic from the epidural wasn't wearing off? No. | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
Why had you had an epidural? I was advised by the team to have an | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
epidural because they didn't want any extra strain on the heart and | :39:46. | :39:48. | |
that's what they would advice anyone with a heart condition. What did | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
medical staff say when you kept on saying through the following day, "I | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
still can't feel any sensation in my legs." They kept on reassuring me it | :39:58. | :40:02. | |
was normal and tomorrow people take a bit longer for the epidural to | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
wear off, but my concern was I wasn't having any recovery at all. | :40:08. | :40:13. | |
When did they accept actually this wasn't normal anymore? It was | :40:14. | :40:21. | |
probably at 5pm that day. So, Emily was born at 3am, it was almost in | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
the evening part, but this all suddenly went into panic mode from | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
reassuring me just a couple of hours before to suddenly everybody seemed | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
to be, you know, lots of people sort of congregating around the bed and | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
we began to realise something is not right at all now. I think the | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
consultant an eth is atist told me they were concerned there was a | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
bruising on her spine and we didn't really understand, you know, the | :40:52. | :40:54. | |
significance of that at the time, what bruising of the spine meant, | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
but you just knew at that point that there was a lot of alarm bells which | :41:00. | :41:05. | |
were starting to go off. So what happened to you then? They were | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
waiting to do an MRI scan to diagnose if it was a hem tomb Which | :41:11. | :41:16. | |
is a ma. Blood clot? Which is a blood clot and there was a lot of | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
waiting around for that. They had to arrange that because their MRI had | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
shot at the hospital so they had to arrange it at another hospital. So | :41:25. | :41:29. | |
we were waiting around for that, but obviously, we were quite panicked at | :41:30. | :41:36. | |
that time. Your baby was in one hospital while you're rushed to | :41:37. | :41:38. | |
another. Very stressful. Very stressful. Yeah, very, very | :41:39. | :41:44. | |
stressful. Just to go from like the extreme high to then feeling like | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
very scared suddenly was a real come down I have to say. So it was a clot | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
on your spine. Yeah. And the decision was that you needed surgery | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
to remove it? They told me if they did find it was a clot they would | :42:00. | :42:02. | |
operate straightaway. So they did that. Zl that's what they did, yeah. | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
And when you woke up from that surgery, what were you thinking | :42:09. | :42:11. | |
would be the outcome? We were hoping in our head that would mean that I | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
would, my legs would start moving and I would get a feeling and that | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
would be solving the problem, but I still couldn't feel anything. The | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
next couple of days after that, nothing was changing and you know | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
then it started becoming real that, you know, this was going to be, this | :42:32. | :42:38. | |
might be a long-term thing now. That's when paralysis, the word | :42:39. | :42:43. | |
paralysis came into the conversation because up until that point we | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
hadn't really understood the consequence of bruising or blood | :42:48. | :42:54. | |
clot or hem tomb ma, we didn't equate them with paralysis. When you | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
first heard the word paralysis being used, what did you think? How did | :42:59. | :43:06. | |
you process that? I couldn't even say the word myself or probably six | :43:07. | :43:10. | |
weeks or something, I just couldn't, I was blocking it out. I was just | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
focussing on day by day trying to think that something is going to | :43:16. | :43:18. | |
change. Something is going to change. I did think I was -- I | :43:19. | :43:24. | |
didn't think I was coping about it at all. I was in denial maybe. My | :43:25. | :43:31. | |
main focus, I wasn't with my baby. It was so far removed from what it | :43:32. | :43:37. | |
should have been. We should have been taking her home and looking | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
after her. I couldn't do that. I couldn't process it. All I was | :43:42. | :43:45. | |
thinking, I wasn't with my baby. I just remember that day when Adam | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
said I'm bringing her in today. Anticipation and obviously we were | :43:52. | :43:59. | |
both in tears. It was a bit like because we hadn't really spent that | :44:00. | :44:04. | |
much time with her on the first day, so being reunited with someone you | :44:05. | :44:07. | |
have not seen for a long time. I felt like I had not seen her for a | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
lifetime. The biggest challenge of that whole period, it wasn't just I | :44:12. | :44:17. | |
was looking after the baby, I was trying to help her as much as I | :44:18. | :44:23. | |
could, going into the hospital and having sleepless nights, it was a | :44:24. | :44:28. | |
sleepless period and with all the emotional stuff as well. You spent | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
several months in hospital. Yeah. Recovering from that surgery and | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
receiving treatment for the paralysis. Seeing your baby when you | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
or your parents would bring her in. How did you cope during that time? I | :44:42. | :44:47. | |
mean, I was pretty depressed to be honest. When I moved to a rehab | :44:48. | :44:53. | |
unit, I mean at first when we got our place there, it was a hope. We | :44:54. | :44:58. | |
thought we'd get there and there would be progress and maybe I'd make | :44:59. | :45:04. | |
some recovery, but you know, the centres are set-up to sort of get | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
you out and get you back to living, but in a wheelchair and once I | :45:09. | :45:14. | |
realised that, you know, I was really depressed and I just used to | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
wait until my daughter was brought in and those used to be those few | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
hours of happiness with her, but when she would leave, it was | :45:23. | :45:25. | |
heartbreak again. Being left there and not with her. | :45:26. | :45:38. | |
UK home at Christmas, having given birth in August. What did the tell | :45:39. | :45:52. | |
you about your recovery? The Dodlek to give you too many indications, | :45:53. | :45:55. | |
and I was led to believe that I was to focus on life in a wheelchair. | :45:56. | :46:03. | |
They also give you this assessment of your spinal-cord injury, and she | :46:04. | :46:12. | |
had complete paralysis, which the long-term prognosis statistically is | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
that you are in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, no more walking. | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
You have been researching possible treatments? Therapies. Thanks to | :46:23. | :46:30. | |
Google or any online search engine, there is a lot of stuff out, and | :46:31. | :46:34. | |
people can make a certain degree of recovery, even if not what she had | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
before, just to be able to take a few steps, things are possible. And | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
you are having hours of physio each day at the moment. I am doing hours | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
of physio, not all with a physiotherapist. I do a couple of | :46:48. | :46:53. | |
hours with the physio, but we do a lot of stuff with equipment at home. | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
And do you feel that all that is helping? Definitely. And what | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
progress do you think you have made? I went from having no movement at | :47:02. | :47:04. | |
all to having movement back in my quads, hamstrings and hip flexes, so | :47:05. | :47:12. | |
it means I have a bike, that when I started using it, I had to be | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
strapped in, it was a passive movement, whereas now I can peddle | :47:18. | :47:19. | |
independently controlling with my legs, so there is a huge amount of | :47:20. | :47:24. | |
improvement that just doesn't translate into functional movement. | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
What is your goal, then? My goal is to be able to stand up. Even if I'm | :47:31. | :47:36. | |
using a frame at the beginning, the therapy in Germany, that is what | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
they focus on, being in a standing, upright position and forcing those | :47:41. | :47:44. | |
movements again and again until your body remembers how to do it, in a | :47:45. | :47:49. | |
way. Chelsea at Westminster Hospital have carried out a serious incident | :47:50. | :47:52. | |
review, and found that there were three missed opportunities on the | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
day after you had given birth to Amelie when they could've acted on | :47:58. | :48:00. | |
what you were saying to them, the sensation was not coming back to | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
your legs. When you first realise that, what did you think? I felt | :48:05. | :48:10. | |
very let down, actually, because I was saying, so mini times, to | :48:11. | :48:16. | |
everybody that was around, come to check on Amelie, that this wasn't, | :48:17. | :48:24. | |
nobody was escalating my concerns. Obviously if it had been acted upon | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
earlier, maybe things would have turned out differently. Following | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
that serious incident review, your solicitors are now carrying out | :48:34. | :48:35. | |
investigations to see of those delays by medical staff led to your | :48:36. | :48:41. | |
paralysis. What you want from the hospital? If that turns out to be | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
what has happened, I guess our idea of compensation is to help fund my | :48:48. | :48:56. | |
recovery, nothing else. A lot of people don't realise that | :48:57. | :48:58. | |
spinal-cord injury extremely expensive. All of this physiotherapy | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
and equipment costs of huge amount, so in order for her to return to | :49:04. | :49:08. | |
normality, it requires a great deal of money. They gave us a statement | :49:09. | :49:14. | |
which says, this was a very complex, rare and tragic case and we offer | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
our sincere condolences to Mrs Jethro and her family. We have | :49:19. | :49:24. | |
reviewed our procedures for post-anaesthetic monitoring and | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
rapid transfer for imaging technology, and we can't comment | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
further as this case is subject to legal proceedings. They have changed | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
certain procedures, that is something, I suppose? Yes. One thing | :49:38. | :49:44. | |
we want to mention here is that as they say themselves, and haematoma, | :49:45. | :49:48. | |
not to scare people, it is an extremely rare thing to happen, so | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
if you are going to have an epidural, I don't think you should | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
be afraid of having a haematoma, and the other thing to mention is, even | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
if you do, it doesn't necessarily lead to paralysis. Well, not a | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
long-term paralysis. Una fundraising to try to get treatment at a | :50:07. | :50:10. | |
specialist clinic in Germany. The idea is that you would go there for | :50:11. | :50:15. | |
three months, and at the end of that, potentially you might be able | :50:16. | :50:19. | |
to walk using a frame? I went for an assessment last October, and it was | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
a great centre, they were really enthusiastic, and they did an | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
assessment on me, and that is what they said, that they are definitely | :50:29. | :50:31. | |
hopeful that that could be achieved in the three months. How much money | :50:32. | :50:38. | |
do you need to raise? For the initial three months, about ?40,000. | :50:39. | :50:44. | |
But hopefully with longer stays, you could progress to potentially | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
hands-free walking. Nothing is guaranteed in the world, spinal-cord | :50:50. | :50:53. | |
injuries, but that type of intensive therapy will definitely maximise | :50:54. | :51:00. | |
your gains. In my head it went from our hope to this is going to happen, | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
I am going to walk again, and this is what I feel every day, however | :51:05. | :51:09. | |
long it takes, I really believe that now. I wish you all the very best. | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
Thank you very much for talking to us. | :51:14. | :51:21. | |
British Cycling has suspended its top boss over claims | :51:22. | :51:30. | |
he made derogatery remarks to several athletes. | :51:31. | :51:32. | |
Shane Sutton is accused of telling Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish | :51:33. | :51:34. | |
that she should "go and have a baby" after her contract was not renewed, | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
and accused of calling members of the paralympic | :51:38. | :51:39. | |
With us now is one of Britain's most decorated | :51:40. | :51:50. | |
What did he say to you? British cycling and I have had talks in the | :51:51. | :51:59. | |
past, and we have resolved our differences, so I won't say anything | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
directly about myself. But the whole thing surrounding Shane and his... | :52:05. | :52:14. | |
It is something that is well-known in that environment, it is a new | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
thing. So I am a little bit surprised that it has come out quite | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
like this, but I thought it was important that I said something in | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
support of Jess. Shane Sutton has denied the claims, it is important | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
to say that. What has he called you in the past, what have you heard him | :52:37. | :52:39. | |
call other athletes in the past, and you believe he said to Jess Varnish, | :52:40. | :52:44. | |
go and have a baby? I can't say whether or not he said that, I | :52:45. | :52:49. | |
wasn't there. But I would believe Jess over that, it sounds a similar | :52:50. | :52:57. | |
type of thing, similar things that were said. I think sometimes things | :52:58. | :53:05. | |
are said in fun and sometimes things are said not been fun, and it is | :53:06. | :53:09. | |
probably more to do with the intent behind the things that is what | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
hurts, I suppose. Jess Varnish described in her statement released | :53:15. | :53:20. | |
overnight a culture of fear in British cycling. Is that true? Yes, | :53:21. | :53:26. | |
I would think that is certainly a phrase that gets used quite a lot to | :53:27. | :53:35. | |
describe the environment there. You do here from a lot of riders that | :53:36. | :53:42. | |
they don't feel they can speak out at certain times. They just feel it | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
will affect their selection chances or their chances of staying on the | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
team, so it is a very difficult environment anyway, because | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
obviously people like Shane, they have to make very difficult choices | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
a lot of the time, and not everyone is going to agree with those | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
choices. But I think there are ways you can do it, and ways that you | :54:05. | :54:10. | |
shouldn't do it. Thank you for talking to us, Darren. Talking about | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
Shane Sutton of the comments he is alleged to have made. As we said, | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
Shane Sutton denies the allegations, but he has been suspended in the | :54:19. | :54:21. | |
meantime by British cycling while the investigation is carried out. | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
Hillsborough families are picture of dignity in the face of such awful | :54:26. | :54:31. | |
treatment. I am crying watching their awful stories. That tweet is | :54:32. | :54:36. | |
from Helen, just one that we have had this morning, one of many about | :54:37. | :54:47. | |
the 96 Liverpool fans who died in April 1989, and the inquest that has | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
found that they were unlawfully killed. Police officers have found | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
to be negligent in the handling of the event, and there have been calls | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
for prosecution against them. Earlier, we spoke to Becky Shah, who | :54:58. | :55:06. | |
was a teenager when her mother, Inger, was killed at Hillsborough. | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
Hillsborough has been a part of my life, it has been part of my life | :55:11. | :55:17. | |
for over half of my life. I don't figure when you have truth and | :55:18. | :55:21. | |
justice on your side in a so-called democratic and advanced | :55:22. | :55:25. | |
industrialised country, that that should be the case, I should think | :55:26. | :55:32. | |
it is a disgrace that it has taken this long. There are people who are | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
no longer here, families and survivors who the toll has been too | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
much, they have become physically ill or mentally ill and taken their | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
own lives because of what they have been through with Hillsborough, | :55:45. | :55:46. | |
because of all the injustice and all the smearing that we have had to | :55:47. | :55:52. | |
endure for almost three decades. Why do you think it has taken so long? I | :55:53. | :55:59. | |
think Hillsborough is not an isolated case. If you look at Bloody | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
Sunday, you look at Orgreave and the minors' strikes, there are lots of | :56:05. | :56:13. | |
deaths in custody, where people have lost loved ones, and nobody is ever | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
held accountable, no police officer, no one in authority has ever been | :56:18. | :56:20. | |
held accountable, and I think it is institutional. I think we have a | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
culture where, you know, after Stephen Lawrence and obviously | :56:27. | :56:29. | |
before Stephen Lawrence, we still do have institutional racism in the | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
police, and I think there is a culture of institutional denial, | :56:35. | :56:39. | |
where they just don't seem to be able to take any accountability | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
whatsoever. We are all subject to the law, but they seem to be above | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
the law, and that needs to change. And that I think has to be the | :56:50. | :56:52. | |
legacy of Hillsborough going forward. This must never, ever be | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
allowed to happen again, and we need more accountability and more | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
transparency with the police and people in authority in this country. | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
Becky Shah. After the inquest, some of the Hillsborough families sighing | :57:07. | :57:13. | |
with relief and jubilation outside court. We will hear that in a | :57:14. | :57:17. | |
moment. Let me read some of your many messages. You message as we | :57:18. | :57:25. | |
were interviewing Becky, and also Barry Devonside, who lost his | :57:26. | :57:28. | |
18-year-old son Christopher that day. Chris says, feeling emotional | :57:29. | :57:32. | |
watching the coverage, my heart breaks for those families. Paul, my | :57:33. | :57:37. | |
heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones in the catastrophe. Dick | :57:38. | :57:42. | |
has texted this, at last, justice for the 96 after 27 years. Ross, | :57:43. | :57:48. | |
justice for the 96 excavation mark time for the police officers who | :57:49. | :57:56. | |
were responsible to be held accountable for their actions. Thank | :57:57. | :58:00. | |
you for those, and for watching today. | :58:01. | :58:03. | |
# Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart | :58:04. | :58:12. | |
# And you'll never # Walk alone | :58:13. | :58:20. | |
# You will never walk alone # Walk on, walk on, with hope in | :58:21. | :58:24. | |
your heart # And you'll all never walk alone | :58:25. | :58:35. | |
# You'll walk alone... CHEERING | :58:36. | :58:45. | |
Good morning. The madness of the weather continues apace, that is the | :58:46. | :58:53. | |
balance, the showers, a lot of sunshine. | :58:54. | :58:55. |
