:12:31. > :12:33.Chelsea to think that, after they got a late equaliser against

:12:34. > :12:36.Tottenham Hotspur last night, Tottenham Hotspur had to win all of

:12:37. > :12:41.their remaining matches to have any chance of catching Leicester City, I

:13:23. > :13:27.got to thank loudly any, the players and Leicester football club. Well

:13:28. > :13:36.done for them. -- I have got to thank Claudio Congratulations to

:13:37. > :13:42.them. We feel disappointed because I think that we were fighting for the

:13:43. > :13:46.title. Nearly to the end. You have already spoken with Claudio Ranieri.

:13:47. > :13:51.He called me, after the final whistle! A called me, and he thanked

:13:52. > :13:58.Chelsea, thanked me, thanked us, for what we deliver tonight. I give him

:13:59. > :14:00.my congratulations. We have not heard from Claudio Ranieri in the

:14:01. > :14:05.flesh but we have some quotes, " I am a pragmatic man, I just wanted to

:14:06. > :14:09.win match after match and help my players to improve week after week,

:14:10. > :14:14.never did I think too much about where it would take us. The former

:14:15. > :14:18.Leicester City captain Robbie Savage has given his assessment on match of

:14:19. > :14:22.the daylights night. Let's put this into some kind of realisation...

:14:23. > :14:27.Manchester United have spent more in the last two seasons on players than

:14:28. > :14:31.Leicester City have in their entire history, 132 years... This is a team

:14:32. > :14:37.of players that have been plucked from other clubs, free transfers...

:14:38. > :14:42.The most incredible achievement. I believe, in British sport entirely.

:14:43. > :14:46.Not just the football team that have made Leicester City brow, Mark Selby

:14:47. > :14:50.has become the World Snooker champion for the second time, the

:14:51. > :14:56.Jester from Leicester, as he called himself, has beaten Ding Junhui.

:14:57. > :15:03.He won the title just 13 minutes after his team became Premier League

:15:04. > :15:07.champions! I knew the game is kicking off, but I try to not think

:15:08. > :15:11.about it too much, I did not want it to distract what I had to do, I do

:15:12. > :15:15.not know which is more of a shock, me winning its price or Leicester

:15:16. > :15:18.City becoming champions! Must be a good omen, in another two years,

:15:19. > :15:24.hopefully they will win the Premier League again and I can come back and

:15:25. > :15:29.win this again! LAUGHTER ?330,000 for winning that. Leicester

:15:30. > :15:32.City will make about... 150 million!... From winning the title

:15:33. > :15:37.this season, that is just the starters.

:15:38. > :15:45.Much more on Leicester to come, but first this morning: this

:15:46. > :15:47.programme has learned that the number of children aged ten

:15:48. > :15:50.or under who are being seen by the NHS because they're unhappy

:15:51. > :15:52.with their biological sex has almost doubled in the last

:15:53. > :15:55.That figure includes three children aged three.

:15:56. > :15:58.You may remember last year we met two of the youngest

:15:59. > :16:01.transgender children in Britain who we called Jessica who was eight

:16:02. > :16:03.and Lily who was six, born boys, they had

:16:04. > :16:06.both been identifying as girls for several years.

:16:07. > :16:10.We've been following them since that first interview with them and over

:16:11. > :16:13.the course of the programme, we'll bring you their updates.

:16:14. > :16:24.We'll start with Lily's story. It's not her real name.

:16:25. > :16:43.Now I'm living sort of as a girl. I feel much better.

:16:44. > :17:22.I was planning to be maybe a girl and that's what I want to be.

:17:23. > :17:35.Can you remember when you were being treated as a boy, why you wanted to

:17:36. > :17:42.wear girl clothes? I wanted to just see how it looked and see if anyone

:17:43. > :17:46.laughed or not. And I would be happier then. Do you think as you

:17:47. > :17:57.grow up a bit you might change your mind? To be a boy again? No. How do

:17:58. > :18:02.you know? Because I sort of am a girl. I like girl stuff. I feel much

:18:03. > :18:28.better. Well, this is my summer dress. Blue.

:18:29. > :18:34.Its LAUGHTER

:18:35. > :18:40.It has this ribbon which some people tie at the front, but I tie at the

:18:41. > :18:47.back. When I went to school that day, everyone was saying, "Hi Lily.

:18:48. > :18:55.You look nice in a skirt." And then I was like, "Oh, thanks." It felt a

:18:56. > :19:02.bit natural, but mostly embarrassing because the tights were making me

:19:03. > :19:07.itch a lot. It stopped becoming embarrassing after a while. It feels

:19:08. > :19:18.a bit different, but mostly the same because I just get on with it like I

:19:19. > :19:25.did when I was a boy. I've got 20. She had quite a few times sort in

:19:26. > :19:29.the run-up said, "I want to be a girl. I want to live as girl." I

:19:30. > :19:33.guess we always thought, I suppose we were trying to eek it out as long

:19:34. > :19:38.as we could really. The next day my husband went to pick Lily and her

:19:39. > :19:42.brother up from school and Lily's teacher called my husband over and

:19:43. > :19:46.said, "Just to let you know Lily has told us all that she wants to start

:19:47. > :19:51.living as a girl." She just kind of ran ahead with it really. We were a

:19:52. > :19:57.little bit oh, OK, this is actually really happening. Why are you

:19:58. > :20:07.giggling? Well, this used to be me. Me as a boy. I stayed a long time

:20:08. > :20:13.until I'm a girl. And then I'm happy, happy, happy. We then had a

:20:14. > :20:16.skirt day as we called it skirt day, where the headteacher did an

:20:17. > :20:20.assembly and talked about people being different and accepting

:20:21. > :20:26.people's differences and then the younger children went out. She

:20:27. > :20:32.showed a diagram of what it means to be in a boy's body, but have a

:20:33. > :20:36.girl's brain and that Lily has chosen to now be Lily in school and

:20:37. > :20:40.will be wearing skirts. Yeah, Lily came into school after the assembly

:20:41. > :20:45.and everyone clapped. Didn't they, Lily? Which was nice. They all sort

:20:46. > :20:53.of clapped you and everyone was supportive, weren't they? I was

:20:54. > :20:55.like, well I was a bit scared. And I was like, "Oh they are all clapping

:20:56. > :21:23.me." ." I was like thanks. It is kind a bit confusing because

:21:24. > :21:29.it's like when she was young, when she was a boy, one day we were in a

:21:30. > :21:36.shop and she said, "Mummy, please can I buy this pink pretty dress?" I

:21:37. > :21:42.was like, "Hang on. You're a boy." I got really confused, but now a days,

:21:43. > :21:48.I'm fine with it really because it is not confusing or anything at all

:21:49. > :21:55.anymore because I'm used to it for, she is normal. So when Lily was a

:21:56. > :21:59.boy, when she was much younger, did you used to play much together? Was

:22:00. > :22:06.she a typical boy? You talked about the pink dress so maybe not.

:22:07. > :22:10.Like I normally ask her to play army men with me and things, but she

:22:11. > :22:15.says, "I don't really want to be a pirate or an army man. She said can

:22:16. > :22:20.I be a fairy princess that can fire lazars out of a wand or something?"

:22:21. > :22:25.She is kind of a bit like, she has still got a bit of boyness in her,

:22:26. > :22:30.but not in a way. Not like you? Yeah, not like me. When I'm in the

:22:31. > :22:37.middle of a video game or something, she just switches music on upstairs

:22:38. > :22:43.and starts dancing and doing ballet and things. How are people at

:22:44. > :22:48.school? Well, at school, everybody is fine with it now and they know.

:22:49. > :22:52.They used to ask me before we started assembly, why does your

:22:53. > :22:57.brother like girl stuff and things? I would just say because that's how

:22:58. > :23:02.she is and things. It is just, everybody is fine with it now. Do

:23:03. > :23:08.you miss having a brother? In some ways, yes and in some ways, no

:23:09. > :23:11.because when I said play armies and things and I would dress up as an

:23:12. > :23:16.army man and she would dress up as a fairy, it is still OK really because

:23:17. > :23:22.I don't really mind what she dresses up as and so yeah, that's fine.

:23:23. > :23:26.How proud are you of your sister? I'm very proud from what she has

:23:27. > :23:31.gone through and she is doing really well at the moment and nobody is

:23:32. > :23:38.bullying her or anything soits fine. -- so it's fine. How much do you

:23:39. > :23:41.love her? Sometimes she can be rather annoying! Hey, that's

:23:42. > :23:46.brothers and sisters for you, isn't it? Exactly. I bet she says the same

:23:47. > :23:55.about you sometimes? Yeah, she would do! But then really we all like each

:23:56. > :24:07.other overall. So... Phew! Yeah, Phew!

:24:08. > :24:14.One, two, three, oh, straight up to number 30. Can I ask you about skirt

:24:15. > :24:18.day? Yeah. They had an assembly where they talked about how

:24:19. > :24:22.everybody is different and you weren't in the assembly though, you

:24:23. > :24:27.and your brother? No. And how has it been at school since that day?

:24:28. > :24:33.Really good. Really good. It felt like I was born a girl but I wasn't

:24:34. > :24:38.actually. And after skirt day, how many more girls wanted to play with

:24:39. > :24:43.you? All of them in the class. Did they?

:24:44. > :24:46.What was that like? Really like, I couldn't decide who

:24:47. > :24:51.to play with. I would just play with all of them in the end. Ah, that's

:24:52. > :24:56.lovely. And that meant from that day onwards you could use the girl's

:24:57. > :25:01.toilets? Yeah, it wasn't, I don't think it was on skirt day that I

:25:02. > :25:05.used the girl's toilets because I didn't need it that day!

:25:06. > :25:10.LAUGHTER I mean if everybody treats you like

:25:11. > :25:15.a girl now, calls you your girl's name, people at school, friends,

:25:16. > :25:26.family. Can you even remember being a boy? Not really. Does it seem like

:25:27. > :25:32.a long time ago? It seems like never. Does it really? Yeah. And

:25:33. > :25:36.what do you think about when you grow up? Do you know what you want

:25:37. > :25:40.to be when you grow up? I was planning to be a lady, a girl.

:25:41. > :25:57.That's what I want to be. As you'd expect, Jessica and Lily,

:25:58. > :26:01.their parents, and their schools all gave their permission

:26:02. > :26:03.for our interviews. You can watch the film again

:26:04. > :26:11.by going to our programme page We've posted

:26:12. > :26:16.links to it on social media. Later in the programme we'll talk

:26:17. > :26:18.to nine-year-old Jessica about what's happened in her life

:26:19. > :26:20.over the last year Leicester are the Champions

:26:21. > :26:25.of English football. Leicester are the English

:26:26. > :26:33.Premier League champions. It finally happened last

:26:34. > :26:36.night when Tottenham This time last year Leicester City

:26:37. > :26:39.were close to relegation. I haven't even used

:26:40. > :26:47.the word "fairytale" yet. We've been following the team

:26:48. > :26:49.through two Leicester fans Gary L Johnson and Sandra Fixter

:26:50. > :27:15.who've been filming video So here we are, it is Sunday

:27:16. > :27:21.morning. We've got the cake. I've got all the stuff. I've got the

:27:22. > :27:25.scarf on, I wore it last time and we are making our way to the stadium

:27:26. > :27:30.ready to make our way up to the Theatre of Dreams, well it could be

:27:31. > :27:35.the Theatre of Dreams for Leicester City fans today where we could,

:27:36. > :27:40.could, very hard task to say, win the Barclays Premier League today.

:27:41. > :27:47.So today is a day where history could be made.

:27:48. > :27:54.We've got the car ready. We've got the scarfs ready. We've got

:27:55. > :28:02.everything crossed and whatever, but we're pretty certain the boys will

:28:03. > :28:08.come up with it. We are just so nervous. This

:28:09. > :28:14.unbelievable thing that's happening to our team.

:28:15. > :28:16.# We shall not be, we shall not be moved.

:28:17. > :28:21.# We are the top of the Premier League.

:28:22. > :28:29.# We shall not be moved. # We have just seen a stand selling

:28:45. > :28:55.wondering in a few hours what might be?

:29:42. > :29:45.They can do us a favour. They don't want their neighbours to win. As I

:30:13. > :30:16.I'm just as nervous as when it is a Leicester City match. Every

:30:17. > :30:21.Leicester fan is watching it a bar or going to be watching it at the

:30:22. > :30:24.pub. Now, we're at the theatre tonight, well be a nailbiting time.

:30:25. > :30:26.It is Laura's birthday and we are going to have to keep looking all

:30:27. > :30:41.the way through the evening. COMMENTATOR: Will come Hotspur be

:35:00. > :35:05.morning, saying their focus and determination and spirit has made

:35:10. > :35:13.night, that was the players party, at the house of Jamie Vardy, Claudio

:35:14. > :35:17.Ranieri went on to say that every game they fight for each other and I

:35:18. > :35:23.love to see this in my players, they deserve to be champions. They will

:35:24. > :35:24.have a fuse or heads. The title was Leicester's when nearest rivals

:35:51. > :35:58.the World Snooker champion for a second time, he beat China's Ding

:35:59. > :36:02.Junhui by 18 frames to 14 at the Crucible and he won the title just

:36:03. > :36:09.13 minutes after his team became Premier League champions. I will be

:36:10. > :36:18.back with another update just after 10am. 11am? 10am! I lose track(!)

:36:19. > :36:21.Are you a parent who's withdrawn your child from school

:36:22. > :36:24.today in protest over SATS, tests for six and seven year olds?

:36:25. > :36:26.Thousands are expected to do so, arguing they're too hard

:36:27. > :36:28.and are creating stress and anxiety amongst pupils.

:36:29. > :36:31.So how difficult are these new, harder tests?

:36:32. > :36:35.Here are some examples of the kind of questions children in Year 2,

:36:36. > :36:42.6 and 7 year olds, will be asked:

:36:43. > :36:44.A typical maths question could be,

:36:45. > :36:46."Sita cuts a pizza into 4 equal slices,

:36:47. > :36:49.she eats one slice, what fraction of the pizza does she eat?"

:36:50. > :36:52.Or something like what's 70 minus 18, or 12 divided by 2?

:36:53. > :36:57.When it comes to grammar the questions include,

:36:58. > :37:02."where should a comma go in the following sentence?

:37:03. > :37:09.Asha found some red blue and purple beads in the box?"

:37:10. > :37:12.Or, "what's short for I will, you have, it is, did not"

:37:13. > :37:17.and there are multiple choice answers.

:37:18. > :37:20.So what do you think? Too hard for a 6 or 7 year old?

:37:21. > :37:28.we will speak with some parents who have kept their children out of

:37:29. > :37:32.school, and a headteacher, who is children are on strike.

:37:33. > :37:44.She has taken her seven-year-old Trinity and her tenure old Lucas out

:37:45. > :37:45.in protest at the saps. -- SATs. Five-year-old Noah will be taking

:37:46. > :38:01.his SATs next year. Debbie, let me begin with you, why

:38:02. > :38:06.do you have your children on strike? I just think that the tests they are

:38:07. > :38:13.sitting at the moment are just really not age-appropriate, those

:38:14. > :38:17.examples you gave just now, those questions are far easier than some

:38:18. > :38:23.of those that we see. Trinity stopped eating for a few days

:38:24. > :38:27.because she was so stressed because of the stress of what she has been

:38:28. > :38:30.learning at school. The children are becoming bored at school because

:38:31. > :38:35.they are just doing maths and contravention tests the whole time,

:38:36. > :38:39.not having any fun. Teachers are having creativity taken away from

:38:40. > :38:43.them, unable to teach the way they want to teach. It is just not a good

:38:44. > :38:47.way for children to learn and they are not happy at school. The tests

:38:48. > :38:53.are more difficult, they last for five days, which is longer, but they

:38:54. > :38:58.are tests which test how the teachers are teaching your children,

:38:59. > :39:06.my understanding is, it is not about how your child necessarily does in

:39:07. > :39:10.these tests. Well, it does, because the year six tests, if they don't

:39:11. > :39:14.pass the expected standards, if they fail the expected standard, they

:39:15. > :39:18.then have two resit them in year seven, they are going to be starting

:39:19. > :39:22.secondary education feeling of failure, how on earth can you tell a

:39:23. > :39:28.ten-year-old or 11-year-old that they have failed, that is a boring,

:39:29. > :39:33.it is ridiculous. What do you think? Why do you have your son out of

:39:34. > :39:36.school? I agree wholeheartedly, the examples you have given are much

:39:37. > :39:40.easier than some of those which we have seen. Give me some harder

:39:41. > :39:45.example. Off the top of my head I cannot think of one but my son was

:39:46. > :39:50.coming home... It is not just the tests that are the concern, the

:39:51. > :39:54.concern of the parents is the huge amount of time that is being devoted

:39:55. > :39:58.to preparing children for these tests, it is not organic learning,

:39:59. > :40:02.this is teaching to a test, and teachers are not in a position to be

:40:03. > :40:07.able to do anything other than that, they are under so much pressure to

:40:08. > :40:12.meet certain criteria, they then are passing that pressure down to their

:40:13. > :40:16.children, and we as parents are putting pressure on the children as

:40:17. > :40:22.well. You could easily not put pressure on your children. Ashamed

:40:23. > :40:28.to say that I have found myself putting pressure on my child,

:40:29. > :40:31.because he is coming home anxious about not being able to do certain

:40:32. > :40:36.things and you want to help them, so that they are achieving. There is no

:40:37. > :40:42.evidence whatsoever to suggest that harder tests, testing younger, makes

:40:43. > :40:46.brighter children. There is no evidence of that. We can speak with

:40:47. > :40:52.the schools Minister, he says that the government, he says, sorry, he

:40:53. > :40:56.says SATs will stand up -- drive up standards and he has appealed to

:40:57. > :40:59.parents not to withdraw children. It is the wrong way to discuss

:41:00. > :41:06.political issues and we should not be bringing politics into a child

:41:07. > :41:09.education, even missing one day of school can be damaging, not just to

:41:10. > :41:13.a child that does not attend but to the other children, they have to go

:41:14. > :41:16.through a catch up lesson to make up for the children who did not turn

:41:17. > :41:20.up. I would say to parents considering this action, do not do

:41:21. > :41:26.so, it will damage child education and the education of other children

:41:27. > :41:28.in that class. We can speak with a headteacher, Claire Jones, from a

:41:29. > :41:36.primary school in Norwich, will a day out of school damage education?

:41:37. > :41:39.I always want the children to be in school, school is the best place for

:41:40. > :41:46.their learning, I have some sympathy with parents. Wife?

:41:47. > :41:53.-- why is that? We have always had Key stage one SATs, but they are

:41:54. > :41:56.supposed to support teacher assessment, teachers are good at

:41:57. > :42:01.assessing children, it does not have to be through testing, in the past

:42:02. > :42:03.we have used those tests to support teacher assessment and without

:42:04. > :42:09.putting too much pressure on children. This year, the changes to

:42:10. > :42:12.the test and the way in which they have been implemented through the

:42:13. > :42:16.year has meant that a lot of pressure has been put on teachers to

:42:17. > :42:20.get in a lot of content suddenly, which has meant a narrowing of the

:42:21. > :42:23.curriculum, I can see why they would like to keep up their children, it

:42:24. > :42:27.is a long time to the next general election where they could make their

:42:28. > :42:31.point politically, but on the other hand, I would rather parents send

:42:32. > :42:37.their children to school and work with schools to make sure there is

:42:38. > :42:41.less stress. Talking about a Nehring of the curriculum, initial period of

:42:42. > :42:46.time they have had to bring in content, is that not a one off for

:42:47. > :42:49.the first year and next year things will settle down? They could have

:42:50. > :42:54.done that next September, they could have told teachers that this is what

:42:55. > :42:58.is going to happen and the teachers would be able to plan it through the

:42:59. > :43:02.year, so there was a drip drip approach, rather than suddenly

:43:03. > :43:06.making changes throughout the year, and so the children can do it. On

:43:07. > :43:10.top of that, to make it so that one of the tests they dropped completely

:43:11. > :43:15.because they mistakenly publish it on the website!... That makes a

:43:16. > :43:20.mockery of the entire thing. Are you... It sounded as though you were

:43:21. > :43:22.suggesting the parents that they do not vote Conservative at the next

:43:23. > :43:26.election? LAUGHTER I think they have got to look

:43:27. > :43:29.carefully at the political parties and what they are offering, we do

:43:30. > :43:35.not know what the political landscape will be in four years'

:43:36. > :43:38.time. I would say that there needs to be a good look at assessment, and

:43:39. > :43:42.they will have withdrawn the baseline assessment this year again

:43:43. > :43:46.because it has not been implemented well, a baseline assessment, not

:43:47. > :43:51.test, not test, and assessment, when they are an entry to reception, and

:43:52. > :43:55.then, assessment or testing at the end, when they leave at ten or 11,

:43:56. > :44:02.looks at proper progress over that time. Except, sorry during the rug,

:44:03. > :44:05.if you only assess in reception and only assess in the last year a

:44:06. > :44:09.primary, if there is a problem, it is too late to address it. We are

:44:10. > :44:11.assessing all of the time, I'm talking about national testing. --

:44:12. > :44:22.except, sorry to interrupts. Why is one fifth of children leaving

:44:23. > :44:26.primary school illiterate or innumerate. No child should leave

:44:27. > :44:32.the end of primary school like that, why is it happening? Well, children

:44:33. > :44:35.come in at different levels, children come in and move schools,

:44:36. > :44:41.children come in from different countries, children come in with

:44:42. > :44:47.special needs. Nothing ever to do with the teaching. Of course it is,

:44:48. > :44:51.it is today with teaching, with the leadership, with the education that

:44:52. > :44:53.we are providing. And I think that suggesting any headteacher or

:44:54. > :44:58.teaches not trying to make sure every child leaves literate and

:44:59. > :45:03.numerate by the end of year six, that is laughable. We work very hard

:45:04. > :45:07.to make sure those children do. By assessing as they go along, we can

:45:08. > :45:10.put in intervention that we need to to make sure that every child makes

:45:11. > :45:15.progress and reaches what they should do. We have a mixed society,

:45:16. > :45:17.not everybody, not everybody is going to achieve the same level at

:45:18. > :45:31.exactly the same time. Jemma you have got five-year-old

:45:32. > :45:35.Noah here. He is not due to take SATs until next year. Why are you

:45:36. > :45:39.taking him out now? We have to take action now. He is a summer baby.

:45:40. > :45:44.Those questions you were using earlier are the easy end of the

:45:45. > :45:48.scale. I have a good friend of mine whose child is six and he is in Year

:45:49. > :45:52.2 and he is about to sit his exams and he is expected to know things

:45:53. > :45:56.like what a collective noun is. How is that appropriate for a

:45:57. > :46:00.six-year-old? Why are they not left to be able to write? I don't think

:46:01. > :46:03.there is a question that says what is a collective noun, is there? It

:46:04. > :46:06.is a collective noun phrase. They have to recognise what a collective

:46:07. > :46:11.noun phrase is. I have no idea what that is myself. I'm 42. I have a

:46:12. > :46:16.fairly decent career. I don't think it uses the phrase collective noun

:46:17. > :46:21.in the test, does it? I have not read that paper, no, but I have been

:46:22. > :46:25.told when my friend is sitting those tests, those are the things they are

:46:26. > :46:30.asked to practise. Wlaes wrong with that? It is age inappropriate. It is

:46:31. > :46:34.like sitting an eight-year-old down and trying to teach them to drive a

:46:35. > :46:37.sports car or sitting a six-month-old down and trying to get

:46:38. > :46:41.him or her to work. Their brains aren't wired in the right way yet

:46:42. > :46:45.and they are not raising standards by making the tests harder. It is

:46:46. > :46:50.just inflicting all sorts of misery on Year 2s and Year 6s. Robert, you

:46:51. > :46:57.are a professor. You are an education specialist. Does a harder

:46:58. > :47:01.test at six make a child brighter? No, of course not. There is a whole

:47:02. > :47:11.lot of stuff mixed up there, isn't there. Children are meeting things

:47:12. > :47:19.that are more challenging earlier on and it is the case that for a lot of

:47:20. > :47:23.schools that's been a big step up and a sharp learning curve if you

:47:24. > :47:28.like that they have had to adjust to that really quickly. Maybe that's

:47:29. > :47:32.not the right thing. The argument is that children should be challenged

:47:33. > :47:44.and it should be hard. I guess people are going to differ on that.

:47:45. > :47:48.One of the parents mentioned the summer birthday, you know, children

:47:49. > :47:54.are different. Should we have one test for everyone? I think there is

:47:55. > :47:57.a whole lot of issues here. This e-mail from Alexandra, these parents

:47:58. > :48:01.must be joking, how will their children cope with adult life if

:48:02. > :48:05.they are being mollycoddled from a young age. What do you say to that

:48:06. > :48:10.Debbie? It is not about mollycoddling. I'm the first to try

:48:11. > :48:14.and push my children and stretch them and make sure they are reaching

:48:15. > :48:17.their full potential, but I draw the line when my six-year-old is so

:48:18. > :48:24.anxious about school. We have been true it with our teenager. She has

:48:25. > :48:28.taken her AS-levels, she had repeat GCSE examinations under the modular

:48:29. > :48:33.system from an academy school. And we've had issues from that, feelings

:48:34. > :48:39.of inadequacy, that nothing she does is good enough. Getting grade B at

:48:40. > :48:44.age 14 and being told it wasn't good enough and had to re-take them. It

:48:45. > :48:50.is not Who told her good. That? The school told her to re-take it. They

:48:51. > :48:53.wanted better results for her. That's an academy that's outside of

:48:54. > :48:59.local authority control, that can run its own clum? Yeah. Precisely

:49:00. > :49:04.what Nicky Morgan wants all schools to become. Academies. You chose to

:49:05. > :49:10.send your daughter to that academy? Pardon? Presumably you chose to send

:49:11. > :49:15.your daughter to that school? Where we used to live in London, there

:49:16. > :49:20.wasn't a lot of choice, academy or no school. Fair enough. There wasn't

:49:21. > :49:24.a lot of choice there. This tweet from Stewart, "These parents are not

:49:25. > :49:35.helping. They are adding to any stress." Are you all right, Kye, do

:49:36. > :49:41.you need to go to the loo? It is really hot. Can you carry on talking

:49:42. > :49:50.amongst yourselves and I will be back in one second.

:49:51. > :49:55.We have been talking about this, the thing that's made us really furious

:49:56. > :49:59.is that it is obvious to us that the tests have been made too difficult

:50:00. > :50:04.and I think you will probably agree over there on purpose so that the

:50:05. > :50:07.children all, but the brightest children are going to fail and then

:50:08. > :50:14.they can force through the academisation. Is that what you

:50:15. > :50:19.think is going on? Yeah. Jemma, carry on. They are being set-up to

:50:20. > :50:23.fail and all of a sudden, Government will swoop in, we'll make you

:50:24. > :50:28.academies. They will lose their autonomy, it will be privatised and

:50:29. > :50:33.sold off to their fat cat mates. If you think that's what's going on,

:50:34. > :50:37.then academies don't have to... Exactly. So what's the point? They

:50:38. > :50:42.have to stick to the national curriculum or do the SATs? So what's

:50:43. > :50:48.the point? What is the point. They still have to do the SATs. Is that

:50:49. > :50:51.right Robert, sorry? Yes, they still have to do the SATs. They still have

:50:52. > :50:56.to do the SATs. It is a strange mixture in theory they don't have to

:50:57. > :51:00.volume the National Curriculum, but they have to follow the same tests

:51:01. > :51:04.so in practise that really isn't a freedom if you're going to be tested

:51:05. > :51:10.on the same stuff, you've got to teach the same stuff, surely? 2012

:51:11. > :51:13.they opted out because they recognised that it was narrowing the

:51:14. > :51:19.curriculum to a point where teachers were just teaching to the test. On

:51:20. > :51:23.the point about narrowing, as a headteacher Clare Jones, I mean you

:51:24. > :51:27.know, there is a narrowing, all the parents say there is a narrowing as

:51:28. > :51:31.teachers teach to the test, when the test is over, there is outside many

:51:32. > :51:36.weeks until the end of the term when you can do sport, drama and art and

:51:37. > :51:39.go on school trips, does it not balance out over the course of a

:51:40. > :51:42.school year? It depends on every school, doesn't it and how they

:51:43. > :51:46.organise their curriculum and what that looks like. I think there is a

:51:47. > :51:51.more fundamental issue about that teaching the things that they want

:51:52. > :51:56.to know in the test, but teaching it using really good literature. Why

:51:57. > :51:59.are we going down a met ta linguistic route where we are

:52:00. > :52:03.looking at roots of words and all of that. If you teach really good

:52:04. > :52:07.literature, if you do reading with classes and encourage children to

:52:08. > :52:11.read, really interesting books and novels, then in fact you don't need

:52:12. > :52:16.to be told what those things are or how to recognise them because they

:52:17. > :52:21.are innate from what they have read in their books and I would rather

:52:22. > :52:25.see a more of a push towards really good reading and interesting books

:52:26. > :52:31.to read than going down this very narrow route of being able to

:52:32. > :52:35.identify what a word is. Yes or no? Debbie, do you think the Education

:52:36. > :52:45.Secretary will listen after the boycott today? Oh no, not at all.

:52:46. > :52:50.Nicky Morgan doesn't live to anyone. She won't respond on any issue. She

:52:51. > :52:54.doesn't listen. OK. I don't know what that story is, Debbie. We

:52:55. > :52:57.haven't got the other side of the story, but anyway, fair enough.

:52:58. > :53:03.Robert, will the Education Secretary listen? I would be very surprised.

:53:04. > :53:07.No, I think, it depends what the numbers are I guess, but it will be

:53:08. > :53:10.dismissed as a small number of parents with a particular view and

:53:11. > :53:14.not representative and there will be no change, no. Clare Jones, yes or

:53:15. > :53:20.no, will the Government listen? I would be surprised if they did.

:53:21. > :53:28.Jemma, you're wearing your kids T-shirt? I would be surprised if

:53:29. > :53:33.Morgan and Gibb listened. What will you do next then? I am assuming... I

:53:34. > :53:36.will carry on with this. I'm fed-up. I'm not having this and I want the

:53:37. > :53:40.teachers, the headteachers to know that we support them. I know that

:53:41. > :53:46.the National Association of Headteachers is just balloted so and

:53:47. > :53:50.they did that because of the support of the parents, because of this

:53:51. > :53:53.movement. I think had there been more time, you know, this was a

:53:54. > :53:58.grass-roots movement that came up through Facebook and social media in

:53:59. > :54:01.a matter of three weeks. So had we had more time to mobilise, I think

:54:02. > :54:04.more would have happened. Thank you very much all of you.

:54:05. > :54:06.Thank you for coming on the programme. Sorry about my son. Don't

:54:07. > :54:11.be daft. Don't be daft. Coming up, ahead of an inquiry

:54:12. > :54:14.into undercover policing, we'll speak a woman about the devastating

:54:15. > :54:16.moment she discovered her partner of two years

:54:17. > :54:27.was employed to spy on her. Last year Leicester

:54:28. > :54:31.were battling relegation. At the start of the season,

:54:32. > :54:33.you could get better odds on Elvis Presley

:54:34. > :54:36.being discovered alive and well, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn winning

:54:37. > :54:38.Big Brother or David Cameron becoming Aston Villa manager

:54:39. > :54:40.than you could on Leicester But they've only gone and done it

:54:41. > :54:44.and in quite some style. It's the ultimate

:54:45. > :54:45.unlikely underdog story. And here is how the Leicester

:54:46. > :54:48.players celebrated. Yes!

:54:49. > :55:12.Yes! And this was the reaction

:55:13. > :55:22.of some of the fans outside We have been consistent all season.

:55:23. > :55:28.We deserve this. Absolutely amazing. Brilliant. We waited a very long

:55:29. > :55:32.time for this to happen. Now it has happened, we're elated. Champions,

:55:33. > :55:37.can't beat it. I don't know.its amazing. This is like the best!

:55:38. > :55:42.We're never going to do this again. This is like a night in, I don't

:55:43. > :55:45.know. Yeah, once-in-a-lifetime. Yeah, we're a positive city. We

:55:46. > :55:51.believe and this is what happens, you know what I mean? Champions.

:55:52. > :55:58.Easy! Easy! Think and it will happen. This is amazing. This has

:55:59. > :56:02.been a heartache. Seeing my team doing this has been amazing. I have

:56:03. > :56:05.gone through so many heart attacks. We've done it. I love it. Thank you

:56:06. > :56:13.very much! I love you! Mwah! So let's get reaction

:56:14. > :56:28.from Leicester fans. How are you? I'm over the moon. It

:56:29. > :56:33.is a day I didn't think we would see in my lifetime. I thought we would

:56:34. > :56:36.win the FA Cup and that would be our star, but it is something I never

:56:37. > :56:42.ever dreamt of and I don't know what to say. It is fantastic!

:56:43. > :56:46.Now, you were at the theatre last night, so were you getting updates

:56:47. > :56:52.from mates about the Chelsea Tottenham game? It was really funny.

:56:53. > :56:55.We were at the Curve Theatre which is Leicester's local theatre. And

:56:56. > :56:59.there was a very weird vibe around the theatre last night. You kept

:57:00. > :57:02.seeing mobile phones opening slowly and peering at the scores and all of

:57:03. > :57:06.a sudden, the audience right near the end of the show started nudging

:57:07. > :57:12.each other and listening to what was going on. The show then carried on

:57:13. > :57:19.and right at the end the star of the show came out and just held up a

:57:20. > :57:24.Leicester scarf and said, "You've done it. You've won the Premier

:57:25. > :57:29.League." Do you think this represents a change in English

:57:30. > :57:34.football? Ie a team that has not spent hundreds of millions of pounds

:57:35. > :57:37.on players in a season or a couple of seasons can now win the Premier

:57:38. > :57:41.League or is it a blip? What do you think? No, I think this is a moment

:57:42. > :57:46.where all the smaller clubs, any club that is now in the Premier

:57:47. > :57:51.League can now say right, we can do what Leicester did. Let's have

:57:52. > :57:54.enough of these big sides or we just go forward trying to win. It is not

:57:55. > :57:59.in the history books anymore. It is proven it can be done and you know

:58:00. > :58:04.what, anyone from any side, who gets in the Premier League now can win

:58:05. > :58:09.this absolute fantastic trophy achievement. I think it is

:58:10. > :58:13.achievable for everyone and I urge any club to go for it like we've

:58:14. > :58:17.done. You have got to have a sensible manager who, you know, is

:58:18. > :58:21.straight and direct and polite and doesn't play mind games. You have

:58:22. > :58:25.got to have a team, a team with no particular stars. A team that pulls

:58:26. > :58:31.together for the sake of the club? Yeah. Oh definitely. You've got to

:58:32. > :58:35.have everyone singing off the same hymn sheet. You have got to have all

:58:36. > :58:39.of our supporters, owners, everyone, all singing together and a manager

:58:40. > :58:44.that can keep everyone calm through these very exciting times. You see

:58:45. > :58:47.many managers coming out saying that, "We're going for the title

:58:48. > :58:54.this year. We're going for anything that we can possibly achieve and

:58:55. > :58:57.win." With our manager he has gone, "We're going to stay out of

:58:58. > :59:01.relegation. We're going to get in the top half of the league. We're

:59:02. > :59:06.going for Champions League. We're going for the title." He has kept

:59:07. > :59:10.everyone cam and all the players, all the city, the country, he kept

:59:11. > :59:14.calm. Let's hear from him then. You probably know he went to Italy,

:59:15. > :59:18.didn't he, to see his mum to have lunch with his mum. He was

:59:19. > :59:21.apparently on a plane when Tottenham and Chelsea were playing, but we

:59:22. > :59:26.have got a clip of him. Let's have a listen. Let's look at him.

:59:27. > :59:30.How are you, how does it feel? I feel good. I feel good. You can

:59:31. > :59:36.imagine. Where were you last night? I was at home to watch the match.

:59:37. > :59:40.You had your lunch with your mother? Yes, I had lunch with my mother and

:59:41. > :59:43.I came back on the aeroplane and arrive at 7pm and I watched the

:59:44. > :59:54.match. Have you spoken to any of the players yet? No, not yet. Not yet.

:59:55. > :59:57.We enjoyed it together. You have now won a top division title. It is the

:59:58. > :00:04.Premier League, what does it mean to you? Oh, it means the job is good!

:00:05. > :00:08.LAUGHTER I'm very happy now because maybe if

:00:09. > :00:13.I won this title a the beginning of my career now I forgot, no, now I'm

:00:14. > :00:21.a very, very old man and I can feel much better! OK. Thank you. What

:00:22. > :00:24.were the emotions last night? At the maximum level. How much does this

:00:25. > :00:32.mean to you to win a title after so long? Look, I said every time, I am

:00:33. > :00:35.very happy for the fans forks are the chairman, for everybody, for all

:00:36. > :00:38.the Leicester community. How have you done it, what's been the secret

:00:39. > :00:45.to Leicester's success this season? I don't know. I don't know the

:00:46. > :00:48.secret. I think the players, the heart, the soul, how they play it.

:00:49. > :00:54.What's your message for the fans? Keep going. We want to improve a

:00:55. > :00:57.lot. Thank you very much. We want to improve a lot. So are you

:00:58. > :01:01.nervous about the Champions League, Gary, what are you thinking, or do

:01:02. > :01:06.you not want to go that far ahead yet? No, we are all thinking of the

:01:07. > :01:09.Champions League now. We started singing last Saturday, Barcelona,

:01:10. > :01:13.we're coming for you as Tottenham kept quoting to us during the

:01:14. > :01:17.season. We are going to enjoy every single moment of this. The city is

:01:18. > :01:21.behind it. I think most of the country are behind us. We are that

:01:22. > :01:26.little team that eight years ago were fighting for our lives and got

:01:27. > :01:27.relegated to League 1. Eight years fast forward and we are champions of

:01:28. > :01:39.England. Fantastic. One more video diary from you to

:01:40. > :01:44.come. Actually, it is two more. Yes, two more. We could not make it well

:01:45. > :01:48.with Sandro this morning, but we love her, give our love to her. I

:01:49. > :01:55.will let her know! The latest weather update now.

:01:56. > :02:01.Beautiful start the day for many of us, some showers in the forecast,

:02:02. > :02:04.and you can see the speckles in the cloud, where we have the speckles is

:02:05. > :02:08.where we have the showers. Some across the North and the West have

:02:09. > :02:15.been heavy, and some have had hailstones and some thunder. Quite

:02:16. > :02:19.breezy in the northern half, some will blow to the east, but in

:02:20. > :02:22.between them all, you will find some sunshine, showers becoming less

:02:23. > :02:26.widespread across Ireland through the afternoon, and for much of

:02:27. > :02:32.England and Wales, apart from the Midlands northwards, pretty much

:02:33. > :02:38.drier, temperatures up to 16, quite pleasant. Through the evening and

:02:39. > :02:42.overnight, cloud dispersing, showers becoming confined largely to

:02:43. > :02:46.Windward Coast, and then another weather front coming in introducing

:02:47. > :02:51.rain, when the cloud breaks, in rural areas, it is going to be a

:02:52. > :02:52.chilly start. Tomorrow we begin with sunshine, more rain spreading very

:02:53. > :02:59.slowly south-east. Hello, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

:03:00. > :03:15.welcome to the programme. The top story, for the first time in

:03:16. > :03:18.their history of 132 years, Leicester City have won the top

:03:19. > :03:21.flight of English football and how did they celebrate? They were at the

:03:22. > :03:45.house of star striker Jamie Vardy. Also on the programme: two of

:03:46. > :03:48.Britain pot youngest transgender children tell us their lives are so

:03:49. > :03:55.much better now they are going to school as girls. This used to be me,

:03:56. > :04:05.me as a boy, and it was like that for a long time until, I am a girl.

:04:06. > :04:07.And then I am happy happy happy. New figures obtained by this programme

:04:08. > :04:09.show that the number of children aged ten or under referred to gender

:04:10. > :04:21.identity clinics has almost doubled in a year and includes three three

:04:22. > :04:28.year olds. I feel more like a girl, I do not feel like a boy it a lot.

:04:29. > :04:32.We will bring you an interview with a woman who made the devastating

:04:33. > :04:38.discovery that her boyfriend of two years was an undercover cop, implied

:04:39. > :04:47.by the state to spy on her. -- employed.

:04:48. > :04:51.Here is Joanna in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:04:52. > :04:53.Leicester City fans are celebrating their club winning

:04:54. > :04:55.the English Premier League for the first time

:04:56. > :04:58.The team were many pundits' tips for relegation at the start

:04:59. > :05:01.of the season but they defied odds of 5000-1 to win the league.

:05:02. > :05:07.Celebrations took place across the city last night.

:05:08. > :05:13.The players and manager Claudio Ranieri have arrived for training

:05:14. > :05:18.this morning and as you can imagine, they were all smiles.

:05:19. > :05:20.Thousands of parents across England are keeping their children home

:05:21. > :05:23.from school today in a protest about national tests for six

:05:24. > :05:26.They claim the SATs are causing children stress and anxiety,

:05:27. > :05:29.but the government argues that they hold schools to account.

:05:30. > :05:35.One mother has told this programme how three of virtual than staying

:05:36. > :05:42.home. Trinity stopped eating for a few days because she was so stressed

:05:43. > :05:46.because of the stress of being at school. Children are becoming bored

:05:47. > :05:51.at school because they are doing just maths, and comprehension test,

:07:30. > :07:34.beautiful game played by Leicester City. This text message from Irving,

:07:35. > :07:38." I feel just as excited as if we had won it, I am not a Leicester

:07:39. > :07:45.City fan, I support liveable". " this will be great for kids, with

:08:01. > :08:13.team's attitude and good leadership. you have thought about belief in the

:08:14. > :08:16.team, there is still a sense of disbelief that Leicester City have

:08:17. > :08:20.done it, becoming the most improbable of Premier League

:08:21. > :08:23.champions, but they still have two matches to play, they will get the

:08:24. > :08:27.trophy on Saturday, they have gone back to work this morning, Andy

:08:28. > :08:38.Swiss has been working a lot over the last 24 hours, there he is, at

:08:39. > :08:41.the training ground. We saw the scene from last night, they have all

:08:42. > :08:47.come back, you grab a quick word with Claudio Ranieri. You can see

:08:48. > :08:50.the gaggle of waiting media here at the training ground, we were not

:08:51. > :08:54.sure if the players would be here this morning, obviously they were

:08:55. > :08:58.partying at Jamie Vardy's house after they clinched the Premier

:08:59. > :09:04.League title, yes, they have started arriving, looking bleary eyed. Jamie

:09:05. > :09:07.Vardy arrived 30 minutes ago, he did not speak to the waiting media but

:09:08. > :09:11.the man at the moment, Claudio Ranieri, he did, as he arrived at

:09:12. > :09:24.the training ground, this is what he had to say. I feel how you can

:09:25. > :09:29.imagine. Where were you last night? You had lunch with your mother? Yes,

:09:30. > :09:34.I had lunch with my mother, I came back on the aeroplane, and an eight

:09:35. > :09:39.o'clock, I watched the match. I have not yet spoken with any of the

:09:40. > :09:43.players. I am waiting to enjoy it with them together. 28 years you

:09:44. > :09:46.have been a manager, five different countries, you have now won the

:09:47. > :09:50.Premier League, your first top division title, what does it mean to

:09:51. > :09:56.you? It means we have done a good job. I am very happy now, perhaps if

:09:57. > :10:00.I had won this title at the beginning of my career, I have by

:10:01. > :10:06.now I would have forgotten because by now I am a very old man! But I

:10:07. > :10:11.can feel much better now! Thank you very much. The emotion was... At

:10:12. > :10:17.maximum, at maximum level. How much does this mean to you, to win a

:10:18. > :10:22.title after so long? As I have said every time, I am very happy for the

:10:23. > :10:28.fans and the chairman and everybody, all of the Leicester community. What

:10:29. > :10:34.has been the secret to success is season? I do not know the secret, I

:10:35. > :10:42.think the players, the heart, the soul, how they play it. What is your

:10:43. > :10:48.message for the fans? Keep going, we want to improve a lot! There want to

:10:49. > :10:51.improve a lot? They have been pretty good already this season! It all

:10:52. > :10:57.turned engineer at rivals Tottenham Hotspur dropping points at Chelsea,

:10:58. > :11:00.Claudio Ranieri called Guus Hiddink, Chelsea manager, straight afterwards

:11:01. > :11:06.and said, thank you very much. Ugly match, wasn't it. Very

:11:07. > :11:10.controversial, here in Leicester, for the thousands of fans watching

:11:11. > :11:14.in the pub, pretty downbeat at half-time, Tottenham leading 2-0 but

:11:15. > :11:18.Chelsea came back, pulling one back through Gary Cahill and then with

:11:19. > :11:23.less than ten minutes left, that stunning equaliser from Eden Hazard,

:11:24. > :11:28.which sparked jubilation for the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge and

:11:29. > :11:32.jubilation for the Leicester City fans here. 5000-1 outsiders, at the

:11:33. > :11:37.start of the season, they have become the Premier League champions.

:11:38. > :11:40.A team that so many had written off, nearly bottom of the league this

:11:41. > :11:45.time last year, only survive by the skin of their teeth, and using one

:11:46. > :11:49.of the greatest upsets in sporting history, a few bleary eyed fans

:11:50. > :11:54.around here, but they will be celebrating for plenty more days to

:11:55. > :11:59.come. What's next for Leicester City, obviously they picked up the

:12:00. > :12:03.trophy on Saturday. Interesting talking with some of the fans

:12:04. > :12:07.yesterday before the match, a lot of them were hoping that it would wait

:12:08. > :12:11.until Saturday, that Leicester would win the title in front of their home

:12:12. > :12:14.fans, at the King Power Stadium. It was not to be, they do not seem to

:12:15. > :12:19.be minding that too much this morning. They will receive the

:12:20. > :12:23.trophy, at home, on Saturday, their last league match of the season.

:12:24. > :12:30.That promises to be another afternoon of huge emotion. Many

:12:31. > :12:33.thanks, well done for squeezing your head into Claudio Ranieri's front

:12:34. > :12:37.window, as well, as he arrived at training. That is all for the

:12:38. > :12:42.moment, we will be back with the headlines in the next half hour.

:12:43. > :12:44.Throughout the programme this morning we're bringing you up

:12:45. > :12:47.to date with two children we first met just over a year ago.

:12:48. > :12:50.They're called Lily and Jessica, they're 7 and 9 and were both born

:12:51. > :12:54.They're two of the youngest transgender children in the country

:12:55. > :12:57.and we've been following their story over the last 12 months.

:12:58. > :12:59.Exclusive figures for this programme show that the number of children

:13:00. > :13:02.aged ten or under who're being seen by the NHS because they're unhappy

:13:03. > :13:05.with their biological sex has almost doubled in the last

:13:06. > :13:08.That figure includes three children aged 3.

:13:09. > :13:11.An hour ago we bought you Lily's story and now this is Jessica's

:13:12. > :13:28.Thank you to the update, says one viewer, it is immensely important to

:13:29. > :13:32.raise awareness, great response from the school as well. Very moving

:13:33. > :13:37.story about Lily, wonderful response from her school, sensitively handled

:13:38. > :13:43.by all, wonderful. Neil Ellis can says, the wee boy on Victoria

:13:44. > :13:47.Derbyshire with a transgender sister, " when I dress up as an army

:13:48. > :13:48.man and she dresses as a fairy, it is still OK:

:13:49. > :13:55.man and she dresses as a fairy, it is still ", it is magic! -- it is

:13:56. > :14:04.still OK", it is magic! I'm not going to end up

:14:05. > :14:07.being a boy forever, because I will be a girl,

:14:08. > :14:09.and I know that. I get a bit annoyed and angry

:14:10. > :14:13.because I don't like it and I can't Can you tell me about the day

:14:14. > :15:01.when you were walking to school and you were wearing a dress

:15:02. > :15:03.for the first time? When we walked through the school

:15:04. > :15:07.doors, the office assistant said, "Hi, Jessica,"

:15:08. > :15:11.and Mum was really shocked. In a good way?

:15:12. > :15:17.Yeah, in a good way. And how did you feel when she said,

:15:18. > :15:19."Hi, Jessica"? Why would being a boy make

:15:20. > :15:30.you unhappy, do you think? I felt really, like, kind of upset,

:15:31. > :15:55.because I want to be a girl. I wanted to change my name for good,

:15:56. > :16:04.so I asked Mum and she said, "OK." I feel really glad that I don't

:16:05. > :16:18.have to do boy stuff. We got my ears pierced

:16:19. > :16:23.on the last day of school. We're allowed to get our ears

:16:24. > :16:26.pierced in school but you're not Well, it's starting to get

:16:27. > :16:38.a little difficult. She's had a really good year,

:16:39. > :16:42.school has gone really well, and now she can get her name changed

:16:43. > :16:45.legally because we've But she's been having nightmares,

:16:46. > :16:53.just that she's going to die a man and she's going to have a beard,

:16:54. > :16:58.and she's already started I thought we would have another year

:16:59. > :17:10.of things being quite straightforward before puberty

:17:11. > :17:13.hit, I think, really. Yeah, I think just dealing with it

:17:14. > :17:16.as we go on, because things I didn't want to do anything

:17:17. > :17:29.about it until we felt Jessica and the family was in

:17:30. > :17:34.a more stable place. I thought, now's the time that

:17:35. > :17:39.I need to be more true I think it's made it a bit easier,

:17:40. > :17:47.because Jessica's got somebody who understands more

:17:48. > :17:51.what the changes are going to be. We know what sort of path

:17:52. > :17:54.she's going to be able Why is it so important for people

:17:55. > :18:34.to see you as a girl, and to treat you as a girl,

:18:35. > :18:40.and to call you your girl's name? What about sometimes people forget

:18:41. > :18:54.to treat you as a girl, I get a bit annoyed and angry,

:18:55. > :19:00.because I don't like it, and I can't Your parents have mentioned that

:19:01. > :19:07.sometimes you have some bad dreams about getting a bit older,

:19:08. > :19:09.is that right? Growing up as a boy.

:19:10. > :19:21.Having a beard. What do you think you could do,

:19:22. > :19:24.possibly, to stop that happening? And they will pause that,

:19:25. > :19:32.stop that from happening? Did you mention that to the doctor,

:19:33. > :19:34.about the blockers? When you're older you can

:19:35. > :19:42.have them, maybe. But it is quite a long

:19:43. > :19:46.way away, isn't it? How did that make you feel,

:19:47. > :19:49.when the doctor said that? So, when I met you,

:19:50. > :20:05.since I met you last year, your stepdad has now transitioned

:20:06. > :20:12.to being treated like a man. If he wants to be a man,

:20:13. > :20:26.then he's allowed. Do you think you understand how

:20:27. > :20:29.he feels because you have transitioned, too, in a different

:20:30. > :20:35.way, but you have transitioned too? I know what it feels like to not be

:20:36. > :20:42.called what you want to be called. How much are you looking forward

:20:43. > :20:49.to the day when people don't talk about it any more,

:20:50. > :20:53.and just crack on with Because I'm not going to end up

:20:54. > :21:01.being a boy forever, because I will be a girl,

:21:02. > :21:04.and I know that. Sometimes it doesn't feel

:21:05. > :21:21.like that, though. And just to let you know,

:21:22. > :21:23.the children, their parents, their schools all gave

:21:24. > :21:26.their permission for our interviews. You can watch the film again

:21:27. > :21:36.by going to our programme We've posted links to it

:21:37. > :21:42.on social media. Later in the programme we'll hear

:21:43. > :21:45.from both Lily and Jessica's parents and we'll talk to other people

:21:46. > :21:54.who've transitioned at school. David on Facebook says, "Transgender

:21:55. > :22:00.kids! ? They are nine and seven. They have no idea what they want to

:22:01. > :22:04.be, never mind what sex/gender is." Jessica on Twitter says, "Thank you

:22:05. > :22:06.for enlightening people. It is not something that a lot of children

:22:07. > :22:09.grow out of." Leicester City football club have

:22:10. > :22:13.defied the 5000-1 odds against them at the start of the season to win

:22:14. > :22:23.the Premier League. They are still on cloud nine and

:22:24. > :22:24.will be until their first defeat in the Champions League next season, I

:22:25. > :22:30.shouldn't say that! Since finding out that her former

:22:31. > :22:35.boyfriend was an undercover police officer, following her activities

:22:36. > :22:40.as a green campaigner, Helen Steele has fought a legal

:22:41. > :22:43.battle to get to the truth. She is one of a number

:22:44. > :22:47.of women who entered into relationships unknowingly

:22:48. > :22:53.with undercover Met officers. Today the public inquiry set-up

:22:54. > :22:55.in the aftermath of these revelations is to decide

:22:56. > :22:57.on whether parts of the proceedings can take place in secret,

:22:58. > :23:14.protecting the identities Your view on whether parts of the

:23:15. > :23:19.public inquiry should be held in secret? What happened with our cases

:23:20. > :23:22.and with the cases of other women who have been deceived into

:23:23. > :23:25.relationships with undercover officers shows there have been

:23:26. > :23:28.serious Human Rights abuses being committed for a very long time now

:23:29. > :23:32.and if all the evidence is heard in scret, we are not going to get to

:23:33. > :23:35.the truth and we are not going to prevent these abuses from being

:23:36. > :23:38.heard again which is our aim. We don't want anyone else to go through

:23:39. > :23:41.what we've been through. My understanding is there is an

:23:42. > :23:48.argument from the Met that parts of the proceedings should be held in

:23:49. > :23:52.secret in order to, you know, keep back details of undercover

:23:53. > :23:56.operations. Well, their application was for all of their evidence to be

:23:57. > :24:00.heard in secret. All the documentary evidence would only be seen by them

:24:01. > :24:04.and the judge and all of their own evidence would only be heard by them

:24:05. > :24:07.and by the judge and of course, that would mean that only their side of

:24:08. > :24:10.the story got told because we wouldn't be in a position to

:24:11. > :24:15.challenge any of that evidence. So you would have a completely

:24:16. > :24:19.one-sided inquiry. We have seen with the result of hill hill last week

:24:20. > :24:21.when you have the police in -- Hillsborough last week, when you

:24:22. > :24:25.have the police in control of the information, you end up with a

:24:26. > :24:28.cover-up and basically the evidence needs to be out in the open so it

:24:29. > :24:31.can be tested and accounted and so we can get to the truth about why

:24:32. > :24:36.these Human Rights abuses were allowed to happen. Tell us about the

:24:37. > :24:43.relationship you had with a man that you knew as John Barker, but who in

:24:44. > :24:48.fact was a man called John Dynes, an undercover police officer. I got to

:24:49. > :24:50.know John over the course of three years. He became a close friend and

:24:51. > :24:54.we started a relationship and we were in a relationship for a couple

:24:55. > :24:58.of years. We lived together and we talked about spending the rest of

:24:59. > :25:02.our lives together. We talked about having children together. Then he

:25:03. > :25:06.seemed to be going through some sort of mental Break Down before he

:25:07. > :25:11.disappeared and it was then, 19 years before I found out the truth,

:25:12. > :25:14.but on the way, I discovered after about two years after he

:25:15. > :25:17.disasphered, I had been trying to find him because I was very worried

:25:18. > :25:21.about him and I discovered that he been using the identity of a child

:25:22. > :25:28.who had died when he was eight years old. And that absolutely ripped my

:25:29. > :25:32.world apart because at that point, you know, here was someone I thought

:25:33. > :25:35.I knew really well and I didn't know anything about him at all. I didn't

:25:36. > :25:38.even know his name and it through my other relationships into doubt. And

:25:39. > :25:42.I think the thing about this is, it is not just happened to me. This is

:25:43. > :25:47.not about individual rogue officers. The case that I was involved with,

:25:48. > :25:50.there were eight women who had relationships with five different

:25:51. > :25:54.police officers over a period spanning nearly 25 years. And there

:25:55. > :25:58.are more relationships that are currently going through the legal

:25:59. > :26:02.system as well. So this is absolutely about an constitutional

:26:03. > :26:06.practise. It is institutional sexism to think for the police to think

:26:07. > :26:13.that they could use women in this way to shore up the fake identities

:26:14. > :26:17.of under cover officers. When you say he disappeared one day,

:26:18. > :26:20.actually that is exactly what happened, he left you a note. You

:26:21. > :26:25.were in a committed relationship? Yes. Talk bgt future and suddenly

:26:26. > :26:30.there is a note left in your home, one day, saying what? I can't cope

:26:31. > :26:34.anymore. I'm going. I mean, after the initial note he did actually

:26:35. > :26:40.come back, but then we went through a very difficult period of a few

:26:41. > :26:45.months where he would just seem to be going through some sort of mental

:26:46. > :26:47.breakdown before he finally disappeared and posted me two

:26:48. > :26:51.letters from South Africa saying he gone there to sort his head out and

:26:52. > :26:55.if he did, he would come back. And obviously, I was still deeply in

:26:56. > :26:58.love with him and I was very concerned about his well-being. Soy

:26:59. > :27:02.just spent ages trying to find him, but everything that I investigated

:27:03. > :27:07.turned up, you know, I was hitting brick walls and now I know, the

:27:08. > :27:10.reason for that is because his whole identity was fake and it was, you

:27:11. > :27:15.know, I had seen his passport, but that was fake as well. His whole

:27:16. > :27:23.identity was being propped up by the State that was, you know, that had

:27:24. > :27:26.put him into my life. You wanted to confront him effectively, you wanted

:27:27. > :27:30.to eyeball him and ask him why he had done this to you and you flew to

:27:31. > :27:33.Australia in order to do that and we have got footage of that. What did

:27:34. > :27:37.you say to him and what did he say to you? Well, actually I went to

:27:38. > :27:41.Australia not to confront him. I went to Australia because I was very

:27:42. > :27:44.concerned that although we had received the apology in November

:27:45. > :27:47.where the police... From the Metropolitan Police? From the

:27:48. > :27:50.Metropolitan Police where they acknowledged these were serious

:27:51. > :27:55.Human Rights abuses and this should not happen again. I was very

:27:56. > :28:00.concerned that he was now working in Australia, training Indian police,

:28:01. > :28:04.in subjects that included what is loosely called left-wing extremism

:28:05. > :28:08.which is a term that's never defined and actually seems to pretty much

:28:09. > :28:14.encompass anybody that criticises the status quo. I was very worried

:28:15. > :28:17.that these now discredited tactics in this country might be being

:28:18. > :28:20.exported to other countries and other women in other countries would

:28:21. > :28:25.go through these serious abuses. So I went there, I went to Australia to

:28:26. > :28:30.basically expose what had happened over there and so that people knew

:28:31. > :28:38.what his background was. I saw him at the airport and I did decide to

:28:39. > :28:44.confront him. It was an on the spur of the moment decision and, I mean

:28:45. > :28:49.really, it is very hard with these things because for him, he was

:28:50. > :28:54.meeting somebody who he knew 20 years ago, but for me, I was meeting

:28:55. > :29:00.a completely different person, you know, I knew that the character that

:29:01. > :29:03.he had acted, I was then at the airport, I was meeting the actor and

:29:04. > :29:08.they were very, very different people. And that became apparent

:29:09. > :29:13.during the conversation and it just really left me with a sense of I've

:29:14. > :29:16.actually got no idea of what I can believe of what you said, you know,

:29:17. > :29:26.you're a professionally trained liar. How can I possibly judge what

:29:27. > :29:29.it is of what you're saying is true. You mentioned the apology from the

:29:30. > :29:33.women. You received compensation, I understand it is a six figure sum.

:29:34. > :29:36.Explain to our audience why is That is not enough. Explain to our

:29:37. > :29:39.audience the impact of real identitiesing you were duped into a

:29:40. > :29:43.relationship which you maintained for a number of years thinking that

:29:44. > :29:47.the man that you were in love with was actually somebody else who was

:29:48. > :29:51.paid to spy on you? Well, it has a very, very serious impactment for

:29:52. > :29:55.starters, it afcts your ability to trust in future relationships. Then

:29:56. > :29:58.that seriously impacts your future relationships. For most of the

:29:59. > :30:03.women, it was hamming at critical times of their lives. We only have a

:30:04. > :30:07.limited time in our life when we are able to have children for some

:30:08. > :30:10.women, it meant they can't have childrenment for other women, they

:30:11. > :30:12.have had children out of the relationships and it is devastating

:30:13. > :30:16.to have a child and discover 26 years later, as one of the women

:30:17. > :30:21.did, that the father was actually an undercover policeman in your life

:30:22. > :30:24.and you know, frankly, this is absolutely shocking that this could

:30:25. > :30:27.go on in this country. People didn't want to believe it at first and

:30:28. > :30:31.that's why we brought the cases and that's why it is important that this

:30:32. > :30:35.public inquiry is held in the open, so that the truth comes out. And it

:30:36. > :30:39.is not just the truth about relationships either, we have also

:30:40. > :30:43.got the fact that the undercover police officers have been spying on

:30:44. > :30:48.the grieving families of people who have lost loved ones for example.

:30:49. > :30:54.The family of Stephen Lawrence. Who could believe they would spy on that

:30:55. > :31:00.family? You've got the spying that was exposed last week on green MPs.

:31:01. > :31:05.It seems to be anybody that's challenging the status quo or

:31:06. > :31:11.capitalism and you've also got what needs to come out into the open

:31:12. > :31:14.about the links between the spying by the undercover units and

:31:15. > :31:17.information going to private corporations which is then used to

:31:18. > :31:21.blacklist trade unionists and health and safety reps in the workplace.

:31:22. > :31:25.All of this needs to come out in the open and if the police get their

:31:26. > :31:26.way, and it is held in secret, there will be little point in this public

:31:27. > :31:36.inquiry. Thank you very much for coming on

:31:37. > :31:40.the programme. Coming up: we have been catching up with two of the

:31:41. > :31:44.youngest transgender children in Britain, we have been following

:35:13. > :35:19.accusing named Labour MPs are trying to use the anti-Semitism crisis to

:35:20. > :35:22.destabilise Jeremy Corbyn. This morning he has put rocket propulsion

:35:23. > :35:25.under those stories by hitting back, insisting that he will carry on and

:35:26. > :35:29.if there is any leadership challenge, he will stand much and

:35:30. > :35:35.accusing folk like me and the media of fuelling this whole saga, saying

:35:36. > :35:41.that he does not know who these Labour MPs are who are plotting

:35:42. > :35:44.against him, we could probably give him a long list of people that are

:35:45. > :35:47.talking about trying to oust him. The other thing that was

:35:48. > :35:52.interesting, he seems to have raised the bar for these local elections,

:35:53. > :35:55.saying that Labour will not lose any seats in the local council

:35:56. > :35:59.elections. Why that matters, all of the pollsters seem to be suggesting

:36:00. > :36:05.Labour could be on course to lose more than 100 seats. Jeremy Corbyn

:36:06. > :36:09.says, no, we will not lose any seats, and a number of Labour MPs

:36:10. > :36:14.will be saying, that is the bar, we will judge you against. This is what

:36:15. > :36:18.Jeremy Corbyn said to me when I pressed him about some of that, and

:36:19. > :36:22.he hit back, saying, out there in the real world, it is not what

:36:23. > :36:26.people are talking about. They are talking about housing, poverty, NHS

:36:27. > :36:30.cuts, zero hours contract, they are talking about low wages, they are

:36:31. > :36:36.talking about the prices of expectation for young people, it is

:36:37. > :36:39.time, quite honestly, that many in the golden circle of the media

:36:40. > :36:42.establishment actually got out a bit and listen to what people are

:36:43. > :36:46.saying. Do you think this is conjured up by the media? Many of

:36:47. > :36:50.the media are obsessed with this rather than what they should be

:36:51. > :36:55.observed with, devastating crisis of inequality in our society. If there

:36:56. > :37:02.is a challenge, will you stand, come what May? I am here and I am going

:37:03. > :37:06.on. You will stand, come what may. I am here, I am going on, come what

:37:07. > :37:10.may, of course I will. Breathing space, critics cannot agree among

:37:11. > :37:16.themselves, they are at sixes and sevens over what on earth they

:37:17. > :37:20.should do about Jeremy Corbyn. Something, hold back and see if he

:37:21. > :37:27.can have enough rope to hang himself. Others say, we simply

:37:28. > :37:31.cannot allow him to go on like this but another problem, they do not

:37:32. > :37:34.have it not 's candidate. It may be at the end of the day for all of the

:37:35. > :37:37.talk of the leadership challenge, Mr Corbyn is saved by the fact that his

:37:38. > :37:41.critics cannot get their act together.

:37:42. > :37:46.Throughout the morning we have been hearing from Lily and Jessica, two

:37:47. > :37:50.of the youngest transgender children in Britain, who have we -- who we

:37:51. > :37:57.have been following over the last year. Exclusive figures revealed to

:37:58. > :37:59.this programme show the number of children aged ten or under who're

:38:00. > :38:01.being seen by the NHS because they're unhappy with their

:38:02. > :38:04.biological sex Has almost doubled in the last year, from 87, to 167, and

:38:05. > :38:11.that includes three children aged three. I spoke to Jessica and Lily

:38:12. > :38:14.'s parents about how life has been for their families over the last

:38:15. > :38:25.year - now that both children go to school as girls. Their names have

:38:26. > :38:26.been changed to protect their identity: Their names have been

:38:27. > :38:44.changed to protect their identity. It has a ribbon, some people tie it

:38:45. > :38:49.at the front, I tie it at the back. I am not going to end up being a boy

:38:50. > :39:00.for ever, I will be a girl, and I know that. There has been a lot of

:39:01. > :39:03.similarities with what your girls have experienced over the last few

:39:04. > :39:08.months, quite a lot of differences as well, the main thing for Lily,

:39:09. > :39:13.she has now transitioned fully, at school, she wears a girls uniform,

:39:14. > :39:18.she is called by a girls name, what has that been like for you and your

:39:19. > :39:26.husband? It has been a big year. Shortly after we did the filming,

:39:27. > :39:29.last time, Lily said to us that she wanted to live properly as a girl,

:39:30. > :39:35.and wanted to begin wearing skirts at school. That was the start of a

:39:36. > :39:41.long journey for us. Through last year. We had a lot of meetings with

:39:42. > :39:42.the school, to plan the transition, I think, it is called a social

:39:43. > :39:50.transition. How apprehensive were you on skirt

:39:51. > :39:54.day, Lily was going in, wearing the uniform, you had no idea what the

:39:55. > :39:56.reaction was going to be from classmates, the rest of the school,

:39:57. > :40:09.the rest of the pupils. It was an emotional time, the end

:40:10. > :40:27.the little boy, it felt like a really important day.

:40:28. > :40:33.Last time that we spoke, that was already happening, with Jessica,

:40:34. > :40:42.what has happened since then, in the last few months. Well... I guess

:40:43. > :40:48.that life has become a little bit more normal in a sense.

:40:49. > :41:01.When they transition at school, it is all up in the air. Then it settle

:41:02. > :41:05.down. To be a normal way of life I know that she has been having some

:41:06. > :41:11.nightmares about growing a beard, growing a moustache. Can you tell me

:41:12. > :41:18.a little bit about that? She has been down to me a few times. She has

:41:19. > :41:21.come to see me in floods of tears, very reluctant to talk to me about

:41:22. > :41:27.it initially, saying that I cannot help her, there is nothing I can do.

:41:28. > :41:45.Did think it will happen instantly. That she is going to wake up

:41:46. > :41:49.immediately, it is all going to happen, that it is beyond her

:41:50. > :41:54.control. When we got together one year ago, your girls drew pictures

:41:55. > :42:14.of how they saw themselves, how would you describe Jessica now? She

:42:15. > :42:18.is struggling a little. She is a typical nine-year-old girl, she

:42:19. > :42:23.stays in her room, this and to her CDs quite loud, singing along,

:42:24. > :42:28.playing with her dolls, listening to Rihanna. She is having up and down

:42:29. > :42:35.days at the minute but we are getting there. Difficult to watch.

:42:36. > :42:39.Perhaps hormones are kicking in a little bit early, is that affecting

:42:40. > :42:45.her? Is she thinking more about the future, is it worrying her. Kids are

:42:46. > :42:51.kids, they don't always talk to you and tell you how they feel. That is

:42:52. > :42:59.tough for you too. The same question to you, how is Lily doing? She is a

:43:00. > :43:07.bit younger than Jessica, she is not yet thinking about puberty. And the

:43:08. > :43:10.future. She has an inkling about bloggers and things like that but

:43:11. > :43:14.she has not asked questions and talk about it, if there is anything

:43:15. > :43:23.difficult to talk about, she did not want to talk about it, that is her

:43:24. > :43:27.character, that is how she is. At the moment she is happy. There has

:43:28. > :43:32.been changes in your life since we met one year ago, you have

:43:33. > :43:42.transitioned to living as a man. Tell us a little bit about that. I

:43:43. > :43:48.have pretty much felt the same as Jessica, but did not really

:43:49. > :43:51.understand or know about this, until I had researched what was going on

:43:52. > :43:59.with Jessica, and then I instantly knew myself. When we were talking

:44:00. > :44:03.one year ago, and chatting back then, I remember asking you, two

:44:04. > :44:07.women in a relationship, I wonder if... Do people think that has

:44:08. > :44:11.influenced somehow your boy to want to live as a girl, to be treated as

:44:12. > :44:17.a girl, and I think you said that somebody had talked about how you

:44:18. > :44:22.had conditioned them. Some might see the fact that you have transitioned

:44:23. > :44:30.from a woman to a man that that is proof, that is how you influenced

:44:31. > :44:34.Jessica. If it was the other way around, if Alex had transitioned

:44:35. > :44:40.first, and then Jessica, I would think that it was an influence, but

:44:41. > :44:46.because it has been Jessica transitioning first and then Alex, I

:44:47. > :44:49.have not come across anybody that has said anything that we have

:44:50. > :45:06.influenced Jessica. It is really hard to know how much

:45:07. > :45:11.people really understand this issue, and unless you have been there, as a

:45:12. > :45:15.parent, and you have a child who is in the wrong gender, and is in the

:45:16. > :45:18.wrong body, and you have lived with them every day and you hear what

:45:19. > :45:21.they say, and see how they behave and react, it is really hard for

:45:22. > :45:31.people to understand that. There are people who say your

:45:32. > :45:36.children are too young to know how they want to live. Some people, even

:45:37. > :45:42.now, having seen your children last year and 12 months on, they will

:45:43. > :45:46.still be saying it is just a phase? We realise people think that and it

:45:47. > :45:51.is hard to understand... But you can't act for that long. If it is a

:45:52. > :45:54.phase this has been going on for a long time now and you can't be

:45:55. > :45:57.something you're not for that long. This is a medical condition. This is

:45:58. > :46:03.not a choice. This is just how people are born and how children are

:46:04. > :46:08.born and you can hear the adults that are going through transition in

:46:09. > :46:11.adulthood say they knew that from very early age and we're just trying

:46:12. > :46:16.to support our children at that young age. So they can have longer

:46:17. > :46:37.of their life to be who they want to be or who they are.

:46:38. > :46:41.Lily and Jessica's parents talking about how much support they have

:46:42. > :46:46.received from their children's primary schools to help them

:46:47. > :46:51.transition to being treated as girls at school. An issue that schools are

:46:52. > :46:54.being asked to help pupils with. Guidelines were written last year.

:46:55. > :46:59.The Government told us they don't have a date for when the guidelines

:47:00. > :47:02.will be published. Let's talk now to a teenager who didn't have a

:47:03. > :47:06.positive experience at secondary school as Lily and Jessica had at

:47:07. > :47:14.primary school. Jamie Bennett is 18. He transitioned to living as a male

:47:15. > :47:19.having been born female. Lynn is Jamie's mum and Graham is here, a

:47:20. > :47:22.member of school staff at a residential boys' school in

:47:23. > :47:26.Yorkshire and supported various pupils who identify as being the

:47:27. > :47:31.opposite sex. Welcome, Jamie, watching Lily and Jessica, are there

:47:32. > :47:37.things, they were born boys. They are now living as girls. For you, it

:47:38. > :47:44.is the other way around. Are there things you relate to from their

:47:45. > :47:50.story? You know they wanted to play with the girls toys and my brother

:47:51. > :47:54.wanted to dress up as a girl when I wanted to play with boys toys.

:47:55. > :48:00.Whereas I was playing with the boys toys and I was playing with the

:48:01. > :48:06.boys. At what age? Probably about their. Six or seven. This 2003 from

:48:07. > :48:11.Mike is representative from so many people got in touch, "Can someone

:48:12. > :48:16.please tell me how a child that aunlg can decide how they want to be

:48:17. > :48:21.the opposite sex?" It is just the way we are. How would he feel if he

:48:22. > :48:25.woke up in the morning in the other gender's body. You know there is

:48:26. > :48:29.something wrong. When you go about your daily life, you know something

:48:30. > :48:33.is wrong. You are not using those term, it doesn't feel right. Lynn,

:48:34. > :48:38.as Jamie's mum, you are nodding in agreement here, what was it like for

:48:39. > :48:45.you? As a mum, just knowing that he wasn't happy. And he need that had

:48:46. > :48:49.support and guidance. The assistance within school wasn't there. So

:48:50. > :48:55.transition was quite a bit of a rocky road. Since Jamie's

:48:56. > :48:59.transitioned it has been phenomenal growth and development and support

:49:00. > :49:04.that, it is out there. Perhaps when Jamie was a lot younger it wasn't,

:49:05. > :49:10.but there is out there. Schools can access so many sort of information,

:49:11. > :49:14.and it is readily available and they just need to move forward. In terms

:49:15. > :49:24.of your experiences at secondary school, what was that like? Not

:49:25. > :49:29.good. I think with gender you've got like the typical stereotypical boys

:49:30. > :49:33.blue, girls pink and at school you have a female uniform and a male

:49:34. > :49:37.uniform. I was made to wear the female one and I just wasn't happy.

:49:38. > :49:43.Even the colour of pants was a big issue. Just because of the colour.

:49:44. > :49:45.You wanted to wear the boys grey throws, and they were saying you

:49:46. > :49:53.have got to wear navy because you were a boy? I went to Asda and

:49:54. > :49:57.bought a pair of school pants. Did they think you were a rebel and

:49:58. > :50:01.being naughty? I think so. The knowledge wasn't about, I don't

:50:02. > :50:04.think they clicked, why are you being so adamant that you need to

:50:05. > :50:11.wear that colour of school pants. And that leads to teasing and all

:50:12. > :50:16.the rest of it and worse? Yeah. Graham you work in a residential

:50:17. > :50:20.school and you have helped pupils who are tran circumstancing, how do

:50:21. > :50:23.you do it? It is about conversation with the young person. I think one

:50:24. > :50:26.of the biggest things is about educating the staff and educating

:50:27. > :50:30.the school and having a good school policy to be able to support young

:50:31. > :50:35.people when they come forward with those, with that situation. I think

:50:36. > :50:38.a lot of schools aren't prepared, a lot of schools don't have that

:50:39. > :50:41.policy so when a young person comes to them and says I want to identify

:50:42. > :50:44.or starts to display some of the things that Jamie has been

:50:45. > :50:50.describing, it is met with a lot of resistance. And not enough knowledge

:50:51. > :50:54.really. There is not enough knowledge generally. Some of the

:50:55. > :51:01.messages that we have had today are really quite abusive. And

:51:02. > :51:05.derogatory. As though people are just making a whimsical choice to be

:51:06. > :51:10.the opposite sex aged six? It is a big thing. And criticism of the

:51:11. > :51:14.parents for allowing that? Yeah, I think that people get confused

:51:15. > :51:19.between sexuality, gender identity, and gender expression. And I think

:51:20. > :51:23.all three of those are very, very separate areas. Somebody's gender

:51:24. > :51:29.identity is about how they feel and how they choose to identify and as

:51:30. > :51:35.Jamie has said, you know. You know. That you're in the wrong body. You

:51:36. > :51:39.know that you're in the wrong place. Gender identity is something that

:51:40. > :51:46.schools really do need to be educating themselves about. Why?

:51:47. > :51:49.Because I think as we expand, our knowledge of gender, literacy,

:51:50. > :51:52.extend our knowledge of society, people are becoming more confident.

:51:53. > :51:56.Young people are more aware. I find it very interesting that the young

:51:57. > :52:01.lady who was talking about blockers aged nine, I know that there are

:52:02. > :52:04.teachers who are out there now who are thinking, "I have no idea what a

:52:05. > :52:07.blocker." If you have got a child who is nine and using that language

:52:08. > :52:11.and you don't have that language, then you're already on the back

:52:12. > :52:14.foot. You are already ill prepared to support that young person. What

:52:15. > :52:18.has been your worst period in the last few years, would you say,

:52:19. > :52:25.Jamie, going through education? I think it was probably my last two

:52:26. > :52:29.years at High School. I came out as trans to my health work are, you

:52:30. > :52:33.have a health worker who works at the school and then they got in

:52:34. > :52:38.touch with LGBT and brought in a lesbian. They thought you were a

:52:39. > :52:44.lesbian? Even though I said I was tRantion. They were trying to be in

:52:45. > :52:48.denial of it really and it put a back step to me like why are you

:52:49. > :52:54.sending in a lesbian when I told you I'm trans? You don't get it. I kept

:52:55. > :52:59.it inside and transitioned through to college. And then started as he

:53:00. > :53:04.and it was so much easier. I went to a college further away. So I didn't

:53:05. > :53:08.have to bother with anyone from my High School. And how do you feel

:53:09. > :53:17.now? I'm happy. I do loads of charity work for my mates. That is

:53:18. > :53:21.an organisation that helps parents and young people worried about their

:53:22. > :53:25.gender. How are you now? Fantastic. It is there will of the he is here.

:53:26. > :53:28.He is alive and kicking. I'm fortunate, there is a lot of

:53:29. > :53:32.children that don't come out. That are hurt. They don't get the support

:53:33. > :53:38.from the parents. No support in school. They don't transition. They

:53:39. > :53:46.live a lie and unfortunately, self-harm. They regress. I'm lucky.

:53:47. > :53:49.I'm fortunate, I've got my son here. And he is our chappie. Thank you

:53:50. > :53:52.very much for coming on the programme, Lynn. Nice to meet you

:53:53. > :53:56.and Jamie, thank you and Graham, thank you very much for your time as

:53:57. > :54:02.well. This texter says, "To your viewer

:54:03. > :54:06.who says trans kids don't know what they are on about, that's rubbish.

:54:07. > :54:10.I'm 52 now and I wanted to be a girl at six. I'm still in a man's body

:54:11. > :54:12.married with children. I wish I could have done what they are doing.

:54:13. > :54:18.The struggle goes on internally." Leicester City football club,

:54:19. > :54:20.whose entire squad cost less than a single player at some

:54:21. > :54:23.Premier League clubs, This from the team who many

:54:24. > :54:30.predicted would be relegated by now and who started the season

:54:31. > :54:44.with odds of 5000-1 on them This is how the players celebrated

:54:45. > :54:48.at star striker Jamie Vardy's house last night.

:54:49. > :55:11.Yes! Yes! Yes!

:55:12. > :55:12.We can speak to former Leicester defender,

:55:13. > :55:17.and caretaker manager, Gerry Taggart.

:55:18. > :55:29.Also with us is Leicester fan, Sandra Fixter And big Anne is there

:55:30. > :55:36.and Laura. Sandra, Sandra, hello. How are you feeling? Hi ya Victoria.

:55:37. > :55:44.Amazing. Amazing, thank you. Tell me about last night and how you

:55:45. > :55:49.celebrated. Well, big Anne and I had, I had to cook a meal, but we

:55:50. > :55:55.had a meal. We watched the match. And then we opened the champagne and

:55:56. > :56:04.couldn't get home so I had to make the spare bed up for Anne to sleep

:56:05. > :56:07.in and then we hit the designer gin. Tell me how you think this team have

:56:08. > :56:14.managed this astonishing achievement? Sorry, that was very

:56:15. > :56:20.faint, darling. It was for Gerry. Don't worry, Sandra. I didn't hear

:56:21. > :56:24.that myself, Victoria. I was only asking how you think this team have

:56:25. > :56:29.managed this? How have Leicester managed it? Yeah? OK, well, there is

:56:30. > :56:33.a lot of reasons why Leicester have got to where they have. And you've

:56:34. > :56:38.got to start with the manager, Claudio Ranieri, yeah. He has been

:56:39. > :56:42.fantastic in the press, the way he handled, and the way he played down

:56:43. > :56:45.Leicester's season, the way he kept the players calm, the freedom he has

:56:46. > :56:49.given the players to go out and perform on a match day and then, of

:56:50. > :56:52.course, you've got the players themselves. In typical Leicester

:56:53. > :56:56.spirit, they have left everything out on the pitch and their

:56:57. > :57:00.performance has been out of this world basically and it is all

:57:01. > :57:04.culminated in what happened last night. Tottenham, in the end, it was

:57:05. > :57:10.just too much for them, to close that gap. And Leicester will go on

:57:11. > :57:13.and win the League easily. Laura, how are you feeling this

:57:14. > :57:20.morning and how have your team done it? You have got 60 seconds to

:57:21. > :57:23.describe your euphoria. Oh, it was absolutely amazing and we're on

:57:24. > :57:26.cloud nine of the it was my birthday yesterday. So it was the best

:57:27. > :57:32.birthday present ever that you could imaginement you couldn't emergency

:57:33. > :57:37.like how everyone was feeling. It was buzzing. Completely buzzing. And

:57:38. > :57:40.where does the team go in terms of next season? Clearly you have got

:57:41. > :57:46.Champions League football. Can you win the League again?

:57:47. > :57:51.Oh, I think we can. I think we can do it definitely. So I think,

:57:52. > :57:55.something like ?150 million coming your way. Are you already thinking

:57:56. > :57:58.about what sort of players you want Claudio Ranieri to buy? What are you

:57:59. > :58:02.thinking about? You don't really want to break up that team, do you?

:58:03. > :58:05.We don't want to lose any players. I think we have got a good

:58:06. > :58:08.developmental squad and we should keep going with young players and

:58:09. > :58:12.keep the players we have at the moment because they have done an

:58:13. > :58:19.amazing job. You don't want to be buying big from abroad? No, not big.

:58:20. > :58:24.Not big, but I mean, if they're good and we can use them then let's get

:58:25. > :58:29.them! Thank you very much, Laura. Thank you for watching today. Back

:58:30. > :58:32.tomorrow. Join us at 9am if you can. Have a good day.
