Our top story today, calls for voter registration to be

:00:07.:00:13.

extended after the website crashed last night due to

:00:14.:00:15.

At Westminster red faces and ranker amid calls for emergency legislation

:00:16.:00:29.

to extend the period for voter registration. This after angry

:00:30.:00:32.

clashes in last night's television debate.

:00:33.:00:35.

We need to be in this organisation fighting for British interests and

:00:36.:00:38.

for British jobs. Leaving is quitting. I don't think Britain, I

:00:39.:00:42.

don't think we're quitters. I think we're fighters. We fight in these

:00:43.:00:46.

organisations for what we think is right. I'm sorry. We're British,

:00:47.:00:50.

we're better than that. We're not going to be bullied by the

:00:51.:00:56.

unelected, charming show he maybe junk. Forget it.

:00:57.:01:01.

-- Claude Juncker. Also on the programme,

:01:02.:01:04.

an 11-year-old girl with a neurological disability,

:01:05.:01:06.

handcuffed, put in leg restraints and her head covered with a mesh bag

:01:07.:01:08.

by British police officers. Her mother says her

:01:09.:01:11.

treatment was vile. The use of spit hoods, it shouldn't

:01:12.:01:13.

be used on children. And certainly not on disabled

:01:14.:01:15.

children who aren't in control When I saw her with one

:01:16.:01:19.

on it was horrific. I'll never get the image

:01:20.:01:23.

out of my mind. There is just absolutely no excuse

:01:24.:01:25.

for spit hooding children. The head of the group that bought

:01:26.:01:39.

BHS for ?1 will appear before MPs shortly. We will bring you the

:01:40.:01:41.

details. Later in the programme, we'll bring

:01:42.:01:52.

you an interview with race walker Tom Bosworth who has now qualified

:01:53.:02:08.

for the Rio Olympics having just missed out

:02:09.:02:11.

on qualification for London 2012. You may remember Tom came out

:02:12.:02:13.

on this programme as gay last year. Do get in touch on all the stories

:02:14.:02:16.

we're talking about this morning. Use the hashtag Victoria

:02:17.:02:21.

Live and if you text, you will be charged

:02:22.:02:23.

at the standard network rate. There are calls for voter

:02:24.:02:26.

registration for the EU referendum to be extended after the official

:02:27.:02:29.

website suffered serious technical problems in the run up

:02:30.:02:32.

to last night's deadline. The Government is looking at whether

:02:33.:02:40.

it is legally possible to extend the deadline after what was described as

:02:41.:02:45.

unprecedented demand in the run-up to the midnight deadline.

:02:46.:02:48.

David Cameron and Nigel Farage were subjected to tough

:02:49.:02:50.

questioning on the EU referendum from a television

:02:51.:02:52.

One Conservative voter accused the Prime Minister of failing

:02:53.:02:55.

to honour his promise to curb immigration, while the UKIP leader

:02:56.:02:58.

Our political correspondent Chris Mason watched the exchanges.

:02:59.:03:02.

Tonight, as the arguments intensify...

:03:03.:03:04.

Arguably the two most famous faces on either side of the argument,

:03:05.:03:11.

I think it was very bad, wrong of us, to turn our backs

:03:12.:03:21.

on the Commonwealth in favour of the European political project

:03:22.:03:23.

You use scaremongering and inflammatory comments

:03:24.:03:33.

in your campaign that have gone against people that look non-white.

:03:34.:03:36.

If we have an Australian-style points system rather than an open

:03:37.:03:39.

door to 500 million people, then actually it would be

:03:40.:03:41.

Half an hour later, it was the Prime Minister's turn.

:03:42.:03:49.

I voted for you in the last election because one of the things

:03:50.:03:52.

in your manifesto was to get immigration down.

:03:53.:03:54.

You haven't been able to do that because you aren't

:03:55.:03:57.

The biggest risk we can take is to pull out of the EU,

:03:58.:04:04.

the single market, damage our businesses and jobs

:04:05.:04:06.

and there would be fewer opportunities for our

:04:07.:04:08.

I hope when people go to vote on 23rd June they think

:04:09.:04:12.

about their children and grandchildren, they think

:04:13.:04:14.

about them and opportunities they want for them and the sort of

:04:15.:04:17.

Yes, it was an hour of passion, anger and irritation from those

:04:18.:04:23.

putting the questions, but soon it was over.

:04:24.:04:25.

Welcome to what is known as the "spin room".

:04:26.:04:34.

Politicians and political advisers speak to journalists

:04:35.:04:37.

and try to convince us that their man won.

:04:38.:04:39.

And yes, both sides claimed their side was victorious,

:04:40.:04:41.

but neither seemed to manage a knock-out blow.

:04:42.:04:54.

And our Political guru Norman Smith is in Westminster.

:04:55.:04:59.

What are they going to do about the voters registration shambles? The IT

:05:00.:05:08.

boffins at the Cabinet Office are probably being beaten about the head

:05:09.:05:10.

at the moment as to why this happened! Everyone has been abelg to

:05:11.:05:15.

people particularly young people to make sure they're registered and lo

:05:16.:05:19.

and behold people did try and make sure they are registered. 500,000

:05:20.:05:24.

people tried to register yesterday in one five minute period, 50,000

:05:25.:05:27.

people tried to register. What happened, smoke pretty much came out

:05:28.:05:30.

of the computer! Here is the website now. It is up and running now. It

:05:31.:05:35.

wasn't yesterday. And there is a consensus that the deadline is going

:05:36.:05:39.

to have to be extended. Simple as that. The Labour Party said they

:05:40.:05:43.

want it extended. The Liberal Democrats say they want it extended

:05:44.:05:46.

and the Scottish National Party say it has got to be extended. Folk in

:05:47.:05:50.

Government say, we are looking at it, we are trying to work out what

:05:51.:05:55.

the legal implications are. Under the 2015 referendum conduct Act,

:05:56.:06:00.

when the clock strikes midnight bong, that's it! Time is up. So the

:06:01.:06:05.

question is, how do you get round that? Tim Farron, the Lib Dem leader

:06:06.:06:11.

is suggesting the way to get around that, is to rush through emergency

:06:12.:06:14.

legislation. It is not as big a deal as it might sound, it can be done

:06:15.:06:18.

quickly if everyone is in agreement, and as far as I can see everyone is

:06:19.:06:22.

in agreement. There is another reason, I suspect, why some on the

:06:23.:06:27.

Remain side are desperate for the extension to the deadline because

:06:28.:06:29.

there is a view most of those signing up yesterday were probably

:06:30.:06:35.

young folk because certainly I think the Smith girls, they do everything

:06:36.:06:39.

at the last minute, rush, rush, there is only five seconds to go,

:06:40.:06:43.

there is never a plan, it was probably young folk who didn't sign

:06:44.:06:49.

up and the fear of the Remain side, that's going to hit them harder.

:06:50.:06:53.

Listen to Tim Farron. If the vote is close in either direction it will

:06:54.:06:59.

leave a cloud of uncertainty and of illegitimacy over the outcome. The

:07:00.:07:03.

last thing we want is for the outcome of the referendum to be

:07:04.:07:06.

unclear. Win or lose, it won't be a draw, we might end up in a situation

:07:07.:07:10.

where this becomes a draw because the margin of victory could be

:07:11.:07:14.

smaller than the number of people excluded because of a technical

:07:15.:07:19.

glitch. Vic, to cut to the chase, where we are the world and his wife

:07:20.:07:23.

at Westminster think it is a shambles and something must be done

:07:24.:07:27.

about it. I suspect some sort of legal way will be found to satisfy

:07:28.:07:33.

them and to ensure the deadline can be extended by 24 hours or so. One

:07:34.:07:38.

other thing to say, Tim Farron asked for a statement in Parliament on

:07:39.:07:41.

this, I would think he will get that, unless Mr Cameron is going to

:07:42.:07:44.

raise it himself at Prime Minister's Questions.

:07:45.:07:46.

Thank you very much, Norman, cheers for now. Thank you.

:07:47.:07:52.

We will try and bring you some facts, yes, some FACTS when it comes

:07:53.:08:01.

to making up your mind when it comes to voting in the referendum. We have

:08:02.:08:06.

two impassion organisations. They will explain why they feel they are

:08:07.:08:08.

impartial and hopefully they will give you facts. I'm on the edge of

:08:09.:08:12.

my seat, I don't know about tu! Joanna has the rest of the news. I'm

:08:13.:08:15.

looking forward to that! The team who took over BHS

leg restraints and a so-called spit-hood on an 11-year-old girl

with a severe mental disability. The girl was also detained by police

in Dunstable in Bedfordshire, and two people had to be rescued

:11:48.:11:49.

from a car in south London. I was driving through and it I just

:11:50.:12:02.

started getting submerged and the guy had to put a brick through the

:12:03.:12:06.

window of the car to make sure that people could get out. They were

:12:07.:12:09.

banging on the window and moving stuff around. Someone on the side

:12:10.:12:13.

grabbed it, and threw the brick and he managed to get out. I was going

:12:14.:12:16.

through, it was so shallow at the time, a couple of smaller cars went

:12:17.:12:21.

through and then all of a sudden the tarmac just started exploding with

:12:22.:12:23.

water and the car was filling. That's a summary of

:12:24.:12:30.

the latest BBC News. Messages from you about the fact

:12:31.:12:40.

that the website couldn't cope last night. Peter says, "Registration

:12:41.:12:46.

should not be extended. We have had months to do. Another case of where

:12:47.:12:55.

people are convinced that the world revolves around them." Another

:12:56.:12:59.

viewer says, "It could be a stunt. You missed the deadline. Tough."

:13:00.:13:04.

Tony says, "I do not accept opposition calls for an extension.

:13:05.:13:07.

In anything, there has to be a deadline. There has to be a cut off

:13:08.:13:13.

point Y are the would be voters not already registered anyway if they

:13:14.:13:16.

consider the EU decision so important that they wish to add

:13:17.:13:19.

their choice, why did they leave it to the last minute to do so?" You

:13:20.:13:23.

just do, and the deadline was midnight, but people couldn't log-on

:13:24.:13:29.

after 10pm. So the deadline was brought forward two hours

:13:30.:13:32.

inadvertently. John thinks the same. A lot of men think the same! We

:13:33.:13:38.

should not extend the deadline. "People had more than sufficient

:13:39.:13:41.

time to register. It was stressed time and time again on TV for people

:13:42.:13:44.

to go and register. Obviously the system will crash as any website

:13:45.:13:48.

will crash when the demand is excessive." No

:14:00.:14:18.

We're gearing up for Euro 2016 now, it's all very real with the first

:14:19.:14:21.

However it's not the time for injury scares.

:14:22.:14:25.

England's Chris Smalling is expected to train today,

:14:26.:14:26.

despite limping out of the team bus with a strapped knee yesterday.

:14:27.:14:29.

He is expected to be fit for their first match

:14:30.:14:32.

But there's a bigger injury worry for Northern Ireland.

:14:33.:14:38.

Forward Kyle Lafferty limped out of training yesterday

:14:39.:14:40.

after appearing to injure his groin overstretching for a ball.

:14:41.:14:44.

He's key for them after seven goals in qualifying.

:14:45.:14:46.

Manager Michael O'Neill says he's not concerned though

ahead of their match with Poland on Sunday.

:14:49.:14:54.

Former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly was part

:14:55.:14:56.

of the France squad which won Euro 2000.

:14:57.:14:58.

He believes the tournament has the ability to lift the country

:14:59.:15:01.

France actually is facing a little bit of problems, socially, the

:15:02.:15:12.

security level, at the level of economy. So we need football. We

:15:13.:15:17.

need football to be there for us to enjoy, to have hope and this is

:15:18.:15:18.

something very important. There is more from Desailly -

:15:19.:15:21.

it's a really interesting interview regional variations apply

:15:22.:15:27.

so check the listings. News in this morning that former

Celtic manager Neil Lennon will be announced as the new man in charge

:15:46.:15:51.

at Euro 2017 with their second 7-0 win over Serbia in

:15:52.:15:56.

the space of four days. Chelsea midfielder Gemma Davison

:15:57.:15:58.

scored her first international goals,

:15:59.:16:04.

a hat-trick no-less, It leaves England top of their group

with two matches to play. Scotland beat Belarus but Wales

lost to Norway. England's Rugby Union team

but which would be bigger? You look at grand slams and you

average once every decade. In May they are coming here and it is a

massive thing, a test series, and for England it will be hard.

Greg Rutherford has frozen his sperm over fears he may be affected

:17:14.:17:16.

by the Zika Virus at this summer's Olympic Games in Brazil.

:17:17.:17:21.

Locked up for 60 hours, restrained with handcuffs,

:17:22.:17:23.

leg straps and a bag over her head known as a spit hood,

:17:24.:17:26.

That was how Sussex police treated an 11-year-old girl,

:17:27.:17:30.

a girl with a severe neurological disability and what are described

:17:31.:17:33.

The girl, who's not been identified and is known as child H,

:17:34.:17:37.

was arrested three times and detained under the Mental Health Act

:17:38.:17:39.

once over the period of a month in 2012.

:17:40.:17:44.

Her disability had not been diagnosed at the time

:17:45.:17:47.

of the police contact, but her mother had told officers

:17:48.:17:49.

she believed her daughter had an autism spectrum disorder.

:17:50.:17:54.

Despite this, the Independent Police Complaints Commission found

:17:55.:17:57.

the 11-year-old was twice held overnight in police cells

:17:58.:18:00.

without a parent, guardian or social worker present to support her.

:18:01.:18:05.

The police watchdog decided 11 police officers should be

:18:06.:18:09.

investigated for misconduct but two have now retired.

:18:10.:18:14.

Child H's mother, who also can't be identified,

:18:15.:18:18.

told BBC 5Live her daughter's treatment was horrific.

:18:19.:18:20.

The use of spit hoods, it shouldn't be used on children.

:18:21.:18:26.

And certainly not on disabled children who aren't in control

:18:27.:18:30.

When I saw her with one on it was horrific.

:18:31.:18:37.

I'll never get the image out of my mind.

:18:38.:18:39.

There is just absolutely no excuse for spit hooding children.

:18:40.:18:42.

Talk us through what went through your head when you saw her

:18:43.:18:45.

I've never seen anything like it in my life.

:18:46.:18:55.

It was for me, as a mother, like watching...

:18:56.:18:57.

I couldn't see any child like that, you know?

:18:58.:19:00.

It would be extremely disturbing to see any child like that.

:19:01.:19:03.

But to see your own child shackled up with leg restraints

:19:04.:19:06.

and handcuffed behind the back, behind her back with a spit

:19:07.:19:10.

hood over her head, was a worst nightmare.

:19:11.:19:13.

It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen and I will never get

:19:14.:19:20.

She was absolutely petrified, terrified beyond belief.

:19:21.:19:30.

It sent her into a state of emotional trauma that lasted

:19:31.:19:33.

When you went in and saw her like that, presumably you protested

:19:34.:19:38.

to them to unshackle her, to take the hood off?

:19:39.:19:42.

One of the times that I saw her with the hood on,

:19:43.:19:47.

I just demanded they take it off instantly and unstrap her

:19:48.:19:50.

The police were very bullish, and they said

:19:51.:19:55.

they were not going to do that until she had calmed down.

:19:56.:19:58.

I said, she's not going to calm down like this.

:19:59.:20:00.

It was just exasperating, the whole situation,

:20:01.:20:02.

it was making her so much worse than she ever needed to be,

:20:03.:20:06.

they had absolutely no idea how to handle her whatsoever.

:20:07.:20:09.

Our Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw is here.

:20:10.:20:16.

What did they do and why? What the police were trying to do was to

:20:17.:20:23.

bring this girl under some kind of control. It is acknowledged she had

:20:24.:20:28.

a mental disorder that was very difficult to deal with and very

:20:29.:20:39.

challenging behaviour. I think the Independent Police Complaints

:20:40.:20:41.

Commission said in their report that she could potentially be at risk of

:20:42.:20:45.

harming herself or other people. Everyone accepts this is not an easy

:20:46.:20:50.

situation to deal with. It is not an 11-year-old girl walking along the

:20:51.:20:55.

street normally. The mother contacted the police on several

:20:56.:20:58.

occasions when the child ran away from her, so the police were called

:20:59.:21:04.

and they handcuffed, they used leg restraints, they used this spit

:21:05.:21:09.

hood, a bag with a mesh over it, which is to stop the police being

:21:10.:21:15.

spat at. On four Cajuns, three of which she was arrested for minor and

:21:16.:21:20.

one where she was detained under the Mental Health Act, she was taken

:21:21.:21:24.

into custody and held for a period of over 60 hours and held twice

:21:25.:21:29.

overnight, but the key failing for Sussex police was they did not allow

:21:30.:21:34.

her to have adult support in custody. You would have thought that

:21:35.:21:38.

an 11-year-old girl with a lot of difficulties would have had a

:21:39.:21:41.

parent, a guardian or a social worker present and that did not

:21:42.:21:45.

happen in that case. The other failing is the police failed to

:21:46.:21:49.

record the reasons why they used the force that they did. 11 officers

:21:50.:21:54.

were recommended for disciplinary action, they had a case to answer

:21:55.:21:58.

according to the IPCC. Nine of them have received management advice, the

:21:59.:22:05.

lowest disciplinary action, and two officers have subsequently retired.

:22:06.:22:11.

The police say they have learned from this and they will continue to

:22:12.:22:16.

learn on this. Is that it for now? To be fair to Sussex police they

:22:17.:22:20.

have put out a very detailed statement and have taken this case

:22:21.:22:25.

very seriously. This is not a case where the police have not

:22:26.:22:28.

acknowledged they have not done anything wrong and I washing their

:22:29.:22:32.

hands of it. They have recognised they have not dealt with this case

:22:33.:22:35.

properly and they have acted to ensure this will not happen again.

:22:36.:22:41.

They have put in place training for officers. They say you cannot train

:22:42.:22:45.

every single police officer on every kind of mental health disorder, but

:22:46.:22:49.

there should be a basic understanding. You do not have to be

:22:50.:22:55.

a police officer to know that an 11-year-old girl overnight in a

:22:56.:22:57.

police cell needs an appropriate adult there. Yes, the appropriate

:22:58.:23:03.

point has been taken and they have put in place training and refreshed

:23:04.:23:08.

guidance on the use of spit hood. They are going to keep it in use, I

:23:09.:23:13.

understand other forces do not need it. They say the application of any

:23:14.:23:17.

type of restraint is considered only when the level of resistance causes

:23:18.:23:21.

concern for the safety of the detained person and other members of

:23:22.:23:25.

the public. That is their justification for using those. Thank

:23:26.:23:29.

With us now is the family's solicitor, Gus Silverman,

:23:30.:23:32.

For the police to use handcuffs, leg restraints and this food, can you

:23:33.:23:42.

tell the audience how violent the girl was being? My client suffers

:23:43.:23:52.

from a neurological condition manifesting in symptoms similar to

:23:53.:23:58.

autism. It is not unusual for children with these types of

:23:59.:24:01.

disability to behave in challenging ways and no one is disputing that my

:24:02.:24:05.

client was behaving in a very challenging way. When my client's

:24:06.:24:13.

mother called the police what she was expecting them to do was to come

:24:14.:24:18.

to the scene, to assist her in keeping her daughter safe and to

:24:19.:24:21.

help her take her daughter home where she could be kept safe whilst

:24:22.:24:27.

she calmed down. My client's mother was well used to caring for her

:24:28.:24:31.

daughter, she knew her temper tantrums would pass. But what

:24:32.:24:35.

happened was that the police officers turned up, they used

:24:36.:24:39.

handcuffs and leg restraints and a spit hood. They took my client to a

:24:40.:24:45.

police station and detained had a cumulative total of over 60 hours

:24:46.:24:50.

without access to an appropriate adult. That experience meant my

:24:51.:24:55.

client was unable to calm down. She was in an alien environment and she

:24:56.:24:59.

was being restrained and her mother was not there. This was not an

:25:00.:25:03.

environment in which a child with this kind of disability was ever

:25:04.:25:10.

going to calm down. You had an cycle of restraint, distress, leading to

:25:11.:25:12.

further restraint and further distress. Special schools, unit up

:25:13.:25:19.

and down the country, are dealing every day with children who present

:25:20.:25:24.

challenging behaviour. They would never dream of using handcuffs and

:25:25.:25:30.

leg restraints and a spit hood on those children. The question is why

:25:31.:25:35.

should the police use those forms of restraint? It is really important to

:25:36.:25:41.

note that Sussex police authorise the use of a spit hood, but other

:25:42.:25:48.

police forces do not. Merseyside police and West Midlands please do

:25:49.:25:52.

not. They do not authorise it for adults. So why is Sussex using it?

:25:53.:26:01.

We do not know why they think it is appropriate because as the watchdog

:26:02.:26:05.

said on a number of occasions they did not record the reasons for their

:26:06.:26:09.

use of force. How alarmed are you buy that? Barry alarmed. The police

:26:10.:26:15.

are under a legal duty to record the force that was used and why it was

:26:16.:26:20.

used and why it was necessary. That is key for accountability. Further

:26:21.:26:24.

on down the line if their decisions I challenge, it is in the interest

:26:25.:26:30.

of the police and the public to know what force was used and why. There

:26:31.:26:35.

was a really systemic organisational failure in Sussex police to record

:26:36.:26:40.

the force that was used on my client and the IPCC has flagged that up as

:26:41.:26:45.

an organisational failure and is very concerned about it because it

:26:46.:26:49.

indicates a lack of awareness of how serious it is when a police officer

:26:50.:26:56.

handcuffs and leg straps and 11-year-old child. There were over

:26:57.:27:01.

the course of the arrests 11 officers involved with dealing with

:27:02.:27:09.

this 11-year-old girl. 11 officers that the police watchdog say have a

:27:10.:27:15.

case to answer when it comes to misconduct charges. Two have now

:27:16.:27:20.

retired. What do you think of that? There is an issue with police

:27:21.:27:23.

officers being allowed to retire when there is an ongoing

:27:24.:27:27.

investigation. Members of the public would rightly expect that if they

:27:28.:27:32.

make a complaint against an officer, that officers should not be able to

:27:33.:27:37.

avoid sanction simply by retiring. Chief constables do have the power

:27:38.:27:42.

to direct that officers should not be allowed to resign if there is an

:27:43.:27:47.

ongoing investigation. That is a power that should be used much more

:27:48.:27:51.

commonly and should have been used in this case. And from your own

:27:52.:27:57.

investigations why do you think for two night the 11-year-old was held

:27:58.:28:03.

in this cell without her mother, without the Guardian, without a

:28:04.:28:08.

social worker? What it comes down to is a basic failure by Sussex police

:28:09.:28:12.

to properly train its custody sergeants. Sorry to interrupts. You

:28:13.:28:17.

do not have to be a custody sergeants trained in any thing to

:28:18.:28:24.

know that an 11-year-old with a neurological disability should not

:28:25.:28:27.

be left in a cell or night on her own. You are absolutely right. There

:28:28.:28:36.

are two points. One is the moral, common-sense point. How would you

:28:37.:28:41.

want your child to be treated? Would you want to be able to see your

:28:42.:28:46.

child and convert the tar? Of course you would. Secondly there is a legal

:28:47.:28:50.

obligation and it is crystal clear in the statutory code of practice

:28:51.:28:54.

that has been issued by Parliament. It is clear when a child is held in

:28:55.:29:01.

custody, the custody sergeant is responsible for calling an

:29:02.:29:03.

appropriate adult to attend the police station as soon as is

:29:04.:29:07.

practical. What happened here is the custody sergeants were saying we

:29:08.:29:12.

will call an appropriate adult when we are ready to interview this

:29:13.:29:18.

child. Again my client was incredibly distressed and suffers

:29:19.:29:21.

from a neurological disability and there was no prospect of every being

:29:22.:29:26.

fit to interview. As a result there was no prospect of the Sussex police

:29:27.:29:31.

officers allowing her mother to see her, notwithstanding the fact that

:29:32.:29:34.

the mother was attending the police station. On one occasion by accident

:29:35.:29:39.

she was allowed into the police station to see her daughter, once

:29:40.:29:45.

and by accident. On all other occasions she was told flatly and in

:29:46.:29:50.

a very unsympathetic way that she was not allowed to see her daughter

:29:51.:29:56.

and she was not needed. Thank you for talking to us. We will talk to

:29:57.:30:00.

Sussex police later on in the programme.

:30:01.:30:02.

In a statement Sussex police say, "We take our responsibility for any

:30:03.:30:07.

use of force very seriously, particularly when it involves young

:30:08.:30:09.

We welcome the IPCC's scrutiny and during its investigation

:30:10.:30:13.

the force has adopted many schemes to support vulnerable people

:30:14.:30:15.

and those with mental illness, learning disabilities

:30:16.:30:17.

Aspects of our approach are being held as good practice

:30:18.:30:23.

nationally and we will respond to any new learning identified

:30:24.:30:26.

Roy tweets this, "Let's remember the police were trying to control a

:30:27.:30:44.

spitting, kicking child." Ben says, "This is child abuse. Things like

:30:45.:30:54.

this make people hate the police." Kirsty tweets this, "An 11-year-old

:30:55.:30:58.

disabled girl held overnight by the police, no adult support, handcuffed

:30:59.:31:03.

and a spit hood put over her head, this is horrific." Lleyton says,

:31:04.:31:07.

"There is no excuse for this excessive use of force. A Specialist

:31:08.:31:12.

childcare input should have been sought at once. The police are badly

:31:13.:31:16.

trained in mental health issues, but are supposed to use common sense and

:31:17.:31:21.

to hold her without a responsible adult is unacceptable and that spit

:31:22.:31:29.

hood sounds horrific." BHS a back in the headlines as MPs

:31:30.:31:33.

prepare to question the man who bought the retailer for just ?1 last

:31:34.:31:39.

year. Dominic Chappell is being blamed by BHS' management for the

:31:40.:31:43.

firm's demise, leaving 11,000 jobs at risk and former staff facing a

:31:44.:31:47.

reduction, a big drop n their pensions. Sexism in professional

:31:48.:31:56.

football. Chelsea football club's former team doctor settles for an

:31:57.:32:02.

undisclosed sum before she was due to give evidence about her former

manager, Jose Mourinho. Here's Joanna in the BBC newsroom

:32:05.:32:07.

with a summary of today's news. There are calls for voter

:32:08.:32:12.

registration for the EU referendum to be extended after the official

:32:13.:32:15.

website suffered serious technical problems in the run-up

:32:16.:32:19.

to last night's deadline. Many would-be voters were unable

:32:20.:32:22.

to log on after 10pm last night, immediately after the end

:32:23.:32:25.

of the latest TV debate. The Government blamed it

:32:26.:32:27.

on "unprecedented demand". The Lib Dem Leader says it would be

:32:28.:32:29.

"practical and legal" Well, the danger is if the vote is

:32:30.:32:42.

close in either direction it will leave a cloud of uncertainty over

:32:43.:32:46.

the outcome. The last thing we want for the outcome of this referendum

:32:47.:32:50.

to be unclear. We often said it will be a win or lose, it won't be a

:32:51.:32:54.

draw. We might end up with a situation where this becomes a draw

:32:55.:32:59.

because the margin of victory to be smaller because of the number of

:33:00.:33:02.

people excluded because of a technical glitch.

:33:03.:33:05.

The team who took over BHS before its collapse last week

:33:06.:33:08.

will give evidence to MPs on the Work and Pensions

:33:09.:33:11.

The 88-year-old company was bought by Dominic Chappell from

:33:12.:33:14.

Administrators confirmed last Thursday that a buyer hadn't been

:33:15.:33:18.

found for the retailer, meaning 163 stores would close

:33:19.:33:20.

One executive told MPs he felt he was misled. I think I was duped. I

:33:21.:33:35.

think the technical term is a myth maniac. The lay person's term is it

:33:36.:33:42.

was a Premier League liar and a Sunday pub retailer at best. That's

:33:43.:33:46.

great in hindsight, but at the time, because I particularly wanted to

:33:47.:33:49.

meet Darren and I wanted to meet the management team, highly credible,

:33:50.:33:53.

highly credible turn around plan, it certainly had legs. It needed a lot

:33:54.:33:57.

of things going right, but with cash behind the business, there was no

:33:58.:34:00.

reason why this business could not turn itself around.

:34:01.:34:06.

Victoria will be looking at the issues in depth with an employee of

:34:07.:34:08.

the company and a retail expert. David Cameron and Nigel Farage

:34:09.:34:12.

were forced to defend some of their core policies on the EU

:34:13.:34:15.

when they were subjected to tough questioning from a television

:34:16.:34:18.

audience last night. A Conservative voter accused

:34:19.:34:19.

the Prime Minister of failing to honour his promise to curb

:34:20.:34:22.

immigration while the Ukip leader If we have an Australian-style

:34:23.:34:34.

points system rather than an open door to 508 million people, then

:34:35.:34:39.

actually, it will be better for black people coming into Britain who

:34:40.:34:41.

currently find it very difficult because we have this open door. The

:34:42.:34:46.

biggest risk we can take is to pull out of the EU, pull out of the

:34:47.:34:50.

single market, damage our businesses, damage jobs and there

:34:51.:34:52.

will be fewer opportunities for our children and grandchildren and I say

:34:53.:34:55.

again, I hope that when people do go to vote on 23rd June, they think

:34:56.:34:59.

about their children and grandchildren. They think about the

:35:00.:35:02.

jobs and the opportunities that they want for them. The sort of country

:35:03.:35:04.

we want to build together. US President Barack Obama has

:35:05.:35:08.

congratulated Hillary Clinton for clinching the Democratic

:35:09.:35:10.

presidential nomination after winning primary

:35:11.:35:13.

elections in more States. Her rival, Bernie Sanders,

:35:14.:35:15.

is still refusing to admit defeat. Mrs Clinton told supporters that

:35:16.:35:17.

being the first woman nominated by a major party

:35:18.:35:20.

was an historic moment and took aim at her Republican

:35:21.:35:22.

rival Donald Trump. The Police Watchdog criticised the

:35:23.:35:38.

Sussex force for using a spit hood on an 11-year-old with a mental

:35:39.:35:42.

disability. The girl was detained without the presence of an

:35:43.:35:48.

appropriate adult. The Independent Police Complaints Commission says 11

:35:49.:35:51.

officers have a case to answer over the mistreatment of the girl. Who

:35:52.:35:56.

was held four times and for a total of over 60 hours.

:35:57.:35:58.

That's a summary of the latest BBC News.

We will have more on the Northern Ireland camp and the 2016 build-up

:36:57.:37:01.

after 10am. I will see you then. What went wrong at BHS?

:37:02.:37:11.

What caused it to collapse? MPs will try to find out this

:37:12.:37:13.

morning when they questioned the man who bought the department store

:37:14.:37:16.

for just ?1 last year. The man is Dominic Chappell who used

:37:17.:37:18.

to be a racing driver, he has been bankrupt three times

:37:19.:37:22.

and had no retail experience. The tycoon Sir Philip Green sold him

:37:23.:37:26.

BHS despite having earlier concerns. Both Philip Green and

:37:27.:37:29.

Dominic Chappell have Sir Philip for paying

:37:30.:37:31.

a ?400 million dividend to his family from the business

:37:32.:37:37.

and over his management of BHS' pension scheme,

:37:38.:37:41.

and Dominic Chappell for sucking management fees out of BHS

:37:42.:37:46.

before its collapse. In total 163 shops will close,

:37:47.:37:47.

up to 11,000 jobs will be lost and pensioners face losing 10%

:37:48.:37:53.

of their retirement income. In a letter to staff yesterday,

:37:54.:37:57.

the BHS operations team claim Dominic Chappell's retail

:37:58.:38:04.

acquisition starved BHS of the funds they needed to turn

:38:05.:38:06.

the business around. One potential financier,

:38:07.:38:14.

Joseph Dryer from RiverRock, told MPs yesterday he walked

:38:15.:38:16.

away from buying BHS because of the problems

:38:17.:38:20.

with the pension fund We were told after we submitted the

:38:21.:38:35.

proposal that the proposal had been rejected. It was surprising to us to

:38:36.:38:42.

say the least, but most importantly, that we had been operating and

:38:43.:38:47.

working on the basis of a misapprehension between Dominic

:38:48.:38:51.

Chappell and Sir Philip. What conversations did you have with Mr

:38:52.:38:56.

Chappell about that? We called him right away and said you don't have a

:38:57.:39:01.

deal. You can imagine he was rather excited and emotional. But at that

:39:02.:39:06.

point, you know, we had been working with him over three weeks and

:39:07.:39:10.

normally when you work with someone over three weeks you get to know

:39:11.:39:14.

them and you build the confidence level that this is something you

:39:15.:39:17.

want to work with. That wasn't exactly the case and so, when we

:39:18.:39:23.

realised that the fundamentals of the transaction upon which

:39:24.:39:29.

everything rested were incorrect and given our growing concerns about the

:39:30.:39:35.

project, we felt the right thing to do was to resign immediately.

:39:36.:39:38.

BHS was founded in the 1920s, and in 2000 Sir Philip Green's

:39:39.:39:41.

Arcadia group bought it for ?200 million But the company

:39:42.:39:45.

started to struggle, and the Top Shop owner

:39:46.:39:47.

Green has said BHS was in good shape when he sold it.

:39:48.:39:53.

It has since been revealed to have had a ?571 million blackhole

:39:54.:40:02.

in the amount of money it's expected to pay out in pensions.

:40:03.:40:08.

It is a terrible outcome for the 11,000 people who must be worried

:40:09.:40:16.

about their jobs. Those who are in the pension scheme or hope to go

:40:17.:40:19.

into the pension scheme, there will be no owner of the pension scheme.

:40:20.:40:23.

So their future looks pretty rough as well. And yet we know from our

:40:24.:40:26.

committee hearings there are some people who have managed to walk away

:40:27.:40:37.

from BHS with huge, huge sums of money, the contrast how well they

:40:38.:40:40.

have done and the pensioners and the workforce must now feel is of

:40:41.:40:43.

extreme contrast. Sir Phillp Green, who also owns

:40:44.:40:46.

Top Shop, Top Man, Wallis, Evans and Dorothy Perkins,

:40:47.:40:48.

is estimated to be worth around His showbiz life which includes

:40:49.:40:54.

owning several superyachts means he's good friends with people

:40:55.:41:00.

like Kate Moss and Simon Cowell. But some MPs are calling for him

:41:01.:41:03.

to be stripped off his knighthood Sir Philip is not fit to lick the

:41:04.:41:16.

boots of these people let alone be a knight of this realm which is

:41:17.:41:27.

provoked me into taking that revoke. Taking dividends from a company that

:41:28.:41:31.

cost them ?200 million can be described as little else, but asset

:41:32.:41:34.

stripping. What matters now is the employees who are dependant on the

:41:35.:41:38.

pension scheme, if it goes into the Pension Protection Fund will lose

:41:39.:41:42.

10%. There are many on these benches who think the minimum that needs to

:41:43.:41:47.

happen is for Philip Green to pay back enough to save them from that.

:41:48.:41:54.

Whilst Sir Philip's former workers contemplate redundancy, he awaits

:41:55.:41:58.

the delivery of a brand-new ?100 million yacht.

:41:59.:42:10.

MPs are talking to current and former bosses of BHS. Richard Pryce,

:42:11.:42:19.

Darren Topp the current Chief Executive of the company and Michael

:42:20.:42:28.

Hitchcock. Let's listen. What was the process? We had a plan that was

:42:29.:42:36.

basically predicated under the existing Arcadia business. So that

:42:37.:42:39.

was the plan we were running with. When the sale of the business was

:42:40.:42:44.

announced, we were asked to present what our turn around plan would be

:42:45.:42:51.

to the retail commission and the rest of their team. It is hard to

:42:52.:42:54.

come up with something new in a week. Mm, a lot of it was a

:42:55.:43:04.

continuation of what we were doing. We thought we were making progress

:43:05.:43:09.

in the business and with investment, you know, we believed that, you

:43:10.:43:14.

know, that we were on the right trajectory. If you're presenting to

:43:15.:43:18.

potential buyers or it is a document that's going to go to potential

:43:19.:43:22.

buyers, you would have had to have had a cash flow forecast involved

:43:23.:43:27.

with that? Yeah. What was that projected cash flow in terms of

:43:28.:43:31.

annual cash requirements? Can you recall? All of the cash flow

:43:32.:43:38.

projections were done as part of the negotiations with the Group. We

:43:39.:43:41.

haven't involved in negotiations... It was a plan with no numbers

:43:42.:43:46.

attached? It was a trading plan. OK. Where did the numbers come from?

:43:47.:43:50.

Sorry, the... Where did the numbers come from? They were our numbers.

:43:51.:43:58.

OK. Thank you. That's current and former executives of BHS talking to

:43:59.:44:01.

the work and pensions Select Committee.

:44:02.:44:04.

Let's talk to Jim McMahon MP who we just saw calling

:44:05.:44:14.

for Sir Philip to be stripped of his knighthood.

:44:15.:44:17.

MP for Oldham West and Royton, Dr Pamela Robinson a retail expert

:44:18.:44:20.

at the University of Birmingham and Mike Williams who worked at BHS

:44:21.:44:23.

How much of a reduction will you see? I could be one of the lucky

:44:24.:44:31.

ones because the company was part of the protection fund and I reached

:44:32.:44:36.

the normal retirement age of the company's pension scheme. I climbed

:44:37.:44:42.

abroad the company's protection scheme lifeboat unfortunately to

:44:43.:44:45.

find it has got a few holes. As a chap who has gone past retirement

:44:46.:44:50.

age, I will get 100% of my current pension, however, I served 33 years

:44:51.:44:54.

in BHS, and the scheme at the present moment states that if you

:44:55.:45:01.

served before 1997, of which I did 30 years before 1997, none of that

:45:02.:45:04.

pension is subject to any inflationary increase. Which will

:45:05.:45:08.

mean a drop in overall terms of what percentage? If you take inflation to

:45:09.:45:15.

be 2% on average over the next 15 years, theoretically, my pension

:45:16.:45:18.

will go down in real terms by 30%. What do you think about that? Well,

:45:19.:45:21.

I'm not particularly happy about it. If you look at the amount of money

:45:22.:45:27.

that you have to put into your pension to subsidise the inflation,

:45:28.:45:31.

I'm going to have to find in the region of ?45,000 of money from

:45:32.:45:33.

somewhere. Who do you blame? I blame Sir Philip

:45:34.:45:50.

Green, you do not take out huge sums of money when you know the business

:45:51.:45:58.

has to have investment. The high street has been struggling right

:45:59.:46:01.

across the country and for the people who work there it is

:46:02.:46:08.

devastating. For more than that it will hit people's confidence and

:46:09.:46:11.

people will look and wonder what the future is both for shopping centres

:46:12.:46:17.

and the traditional British high street. It feels as though the odds

:46:18.:46:20.

are stacked against retailers on the high street doing well. The

:46:21.:46:24.

Government has been slow to address that and they continued to be slow

:46:25.:46:29.

to address that, but this is more fundamental. This is about how we do

:46:30.:46:33.

business and what type of society do we want? Do people play in a fair

:46:34.:46:39.

way to the rules or do they act in their self-interest? The reason why

:46:40.:46:43.

I called for Sir Philip Green to lose his knighthood is that in my

:46:44.:46:48.

view if you have a knighthood, it has a great deal of status in our

:46:49.:46:52.

society, you are leading the country and people look up to you. You have

:46:53.:46:56.

got to put the interests of the country above your personal

:46:57.:47:00.

interests. Sir Philip Green is not leading the country? He was given

:47:01.:47:05.

the honour for his role in leading retail. But in business things go

:47:06.:47:13.

wrong as well as right. This was about the state the DHS was in on

:47:14.:47:18.

the transferred to the new buyer. I cannot understand how anybody who

:47:19.:47:21.

was fair-minded can look at that transfer and say with a pension

:47:22.:47:27.

deficit of ?571 million, having taken more than that out in dividend

:47:28.:47:32.

payments and rental property receives, how anyone could say that

:47:33.:47:36.

was good for the long-term sustainability of that company. He

:47:37.:47:42.

has offered 80 million into that pension black hole. What would you

:47:43.:47:47.

like to see him put into that? The pension deficit stands at ?571

:47:48.:47:52.

million. He has taken more than that out of the company. Quite a big

:47:53.:47:58.

chunk is in Monaco to avoid paying UK tax. That is not illegal. No, but

:47:59.:48:04.

that does not mean it is the moral standard we aspire to in this

:48:05.:48:08.

country. If you are to be a night of the realm, you should put the

:48:09.:48:12.

country's interest above your personal interests. There are a lot

:48:13.:48:16.

of people who will be looking at their future and comparing that to

:48:17.:48:20.

Sir Philip Green taking receipt of his ?100 million yacht. Pam

:48:21.:48:27.

Robertson is a retail expert at the University of Birmingham. What has

:48:28.:48:32.

gone wrong? It is a sad and sorry state, but British home stores has

:48:33.:48:36.

been struggling for over a decade. It was struggling when Sir Philip

:48:37.:48:42.

Green took it over. He used it as a vehicle to acquire the Arcadia group

:48:43.:48:47.

and his attention was taken to the brands of Dorothy Perkins and he

:48:48.:48:51.

created those shopping experiences in the BHS store. He took the other

:48:52.:48:58.

brands into BHS to try and make something out of ladies' fashion.

:48:59.:49:02.

But BHS has not been right. It was launched as the poor man's M and

:49:03.:49:09.

M is struggling themselves in ladies fashion. They are struggling

:49:10.:49:13.

with Zara at the top end and Primark at the bottom end. In a sense BHS

:49:14.:49:22.

has been famous for homeware, schoolwork, school uniforms,

:49:23.:49:28.

babywear, very good on lighting, but what else does it offer in the high

:49:29.:49:33.

street? I do not think BHS Kirin collapse is the demise of the high

:49:34.:49:39.

street. Look at John Lewis and House of Fraser. BHS did not have the

:49:40.:49:43.

right product proposition and has suffered accordingly. Let's you a

:49:44.:49:46.

bit more from the Select Committee hearing. Let's hear about the type

:49:47.:49:57.

of man that Dominic Chappell was. Michael, what was your sense when

:49:58.:50:01.

you arrived as to the cash position of the company and the ability to

:50:02.:50:11.

finance its management? This was my first interaction with Dominic

:50:12.:50:17.

Chappell and like I think many others throughout this process I

:50:18.:50:22.

think I was duped. The technical term is a myth maniac. The

:50:23.:50:27.

layperson's town is he was the Premier League liar and a Sunday pub

:50:28.:50:34.

retailer at best. Well, he is not pulling his punches. That is a

:50:35.:50:38.

description of Dominic Chappell who bought the company for a pound. What

:50:39.:50:42.

do you think of that? A lot will come out through this enquiry and

:50:43.:50:46.

there will be plenty of people who will be looking to complain. My

:50:47.:50:50.

interest is that of Sir Philip Green, and we had BHS has struggled

:50:51.:50:56.

to keep up with the high street and has struggled to keep up with you

:50:57.:51:00.

shoppers, but little wonder when money was taken away from the

:51:01.:51:04.

company when times were good. There was not investment required to make

:51:05.:51:08.

sure it was attractive and that is because people take a very

:51:09.:51:12.

short-term view, putting their self interest first and taking a lot of

:51:13.:51:16.

money out of that company that was generated by the people who worked

:51:17.:51:19.

in the stories and the shoppers who were loyal to the brand, and that

:51:20.:51:26.

has been taken away. 11,000 people will be redundant, but other people

:51:27.:51:30.

enjoyed their multi-billion pound 's lifestyle while other people are

:51:31.:51:36.

left to pick up the pieces. Mike Williams, is a BHS pensioner, what

:51:37.:51:39.

responsibility lies at the door of the man who bought BHS for ?1 who

:51:40.:51:46.

has been described as a Premier League liar? I think he has

:51:47.:51:50.

responsibility and he certainly thought he could run the business

:51:51.:51:55.

and he should have tried much harder to raise cash legitimately if you

:51:56.:52:02.

like and put a business plan together that convinced Sir Philip

:52:03.:52:09.

Green that he could run it properly, but none of that happened. Pam, what

:52:10.:52:16.

responsibility should Dominic Chappell take this? Somebody who

:52:17.:52:21.

could not understand retail was given an opportunity to do something

:52:22.:52:24.

with something that was tired and old. They have some jewels in their

:52:25.:52:30.

crown if they could be sold separately. Nobody would want to

:52:31.:52:35.

take it on as a whole consortium. There is a great site in Oxford

:52:36.:52:41.

Street in London and they have some great sites in other cities. In

:52:42.:52:45.

terms of Dominic Chappell and stability Green, they have not come

:52:46.:52:49.

out of this smelling as roses. They do not show in any way they have

:52:50.:52:53.

been responsible. But we have this problem with what is the high street

:52:54.:52:58.

and the business model and morality and responsibility does not always

:52:59.:53:02.

come into business. Let's hear another clip from the Select

:53:03.:53:06.

Committee hearing. They are talking about secretly hiving off assets. He

:53:07.:53:14.

is the usual for an owner of a company to have a secret plan to

:53:15.:53:19.

hive off assets and then stick you for a bill telling you about it? It

:53:20.:53:27.

is typical of the events that were going on during the Dominic Chappell

:53:28.:53:29.

ownership. There was so much happening above us that we did not

:53:30.:53:34.

know about. Darren was spending 90% of his time trying to govern what

:53:35.:53:38.

was happening above him and not focusing on what was happening in

:53:39.:53:43.

the business. That was the event of what was going on. It was completely

:53:44.:53:49.

extraordinary to say the least. You came to your conclusion that Mr

:53:50.:53:52.

Chappell was a fantasist very quickly. You said within two weeks.

:53:53.:53:59.

I assume you have not ever work for Sir Philip Green. I did not know Sir

:54:00.:54:07.

Philip Green. I ask that because it appears it is only people who are

:54:08.:54:14.

paid by Sir Philip Green on who are consulting to Philip Green that Mr

:54:15.:54:21.

Chappell is a fantasist. I am sat here with the benefit of hindsight,

:54:22.:54:26.

maybe two weeks was a short period to form that conclusion, but based

:54:27.:54:31.

on when I got inside the business and heard from people it became

:54:32.:54:35.

evident that the motives of Mr Chappell were not what you would

:54:36.:54:41.

have expected from shareholder. Extraordinary criticism of the man

:54:42.:54:46.

who bought BHS, that was Michael Hitchcock, a former BHS Executive.

:54:47.:54:51.

More from that Select Committee hearing throughout the morning.

:54:52.:54:57.

Thank you to Jim McMahon, Doctor Pam Robertson, and Mike Williams who

:54:58.:55:00.

worked that DHS for more than 30 years.

:55:01.:55:02.

Coming up: Track and field athlete Tom Bosworth,

:55:03.:55:06.

tells us he's achieved his lifelong dream by qualifying to compete

:55:07.:55:08.

for Great Britain at the Rio Olympics this year.

:55:09.:55:11.

The 26-year-old race walker missed out on representing Team GB by just

:55:12.:55:14.

He came out on this programme last year.

:55:15.:55:24.

Next, sexism in football and what happened at Chelsea.

:55:25.:55:26.

In order to explain the story properly we are going to use

:55:27.:55:29.

If you've got children in the room you might not want them to listen

:55:30.:55:33.

Chelsea Football Club's former team doctor settled her dismissal case

:55:34.:55:39.

for several million pounds yesterday just before she was due to give

:55:40.:55:43.

evidence at an employment tribunal against her former

:55:44.:55:45.

He'd been accused of sexual discrimination over the way

:55:46.:55:51.

he treated Eva Carnerio during Chelsea's first match last season.

:55:52.:55:55.

To Jose Mourinho's anger she and a team physio ran onto

:55:56.:55:59.

the pitch to treat Eden Hazard leaving the team with just nine men

:56:00.:56:03.

Central to the sexism allegation is Eva Carnerio's claim that

:56:04.:56:11.

during the incident she heard Mourinhio say "son of a whore".

:56:12.:56:15.

He insists that he said something very similar which means

:56:16.:56:19.

In the end though they settled their case out of the tribunal.

:56:20.:56:26.

She was given a full apology, praise for her professionalism

:56:27.:56:29.

and a cheque for several million pounds.

:56:30.:56:31.

But what sort of message does this send out to women in football

:56:32.:56:34.

And are remarks like this - whoever's version you believe -

:56:35.:56:39.

We can speak to the founder of the female coaching network who joined

:56:40.:56:58.

us from Lancashire. And we can speak to the first chartered

:56:59.:56:59.

physiotherapist in English football. First of all, what do you think of

:57:00.:57:09.

this case and how it has ended? It is interesting it has ended, it has

:57:10.:57:15.

taken quite a while. As a chartered physio in football this is par for

:57:16.:57:22.

the chorus. That kind of language? Do you mean sexist? When you choose

:57:23.:57:28.

to go to work in football... You have to accept sexism? It is a male

:57:29.:57:33.

dominated profession like it is working in the city and you have to

:57:34.:57:37.

learn special skills to know how to deal with and work with players and

:57:38.:57:43.

managers. Jose Mourinho is a colourful character. I worked at

:57:44.:57:47.

Barnet and was exposed to lots of colourful language and you develop

:57:48.:57:51.

thick skin and learn how to deal with it. Should you have to? No, but

:57:52.:57:58.

in this environment everyone is excited, the game is under pressure

:57:59.:58:01.

and people say things they should not say. Do you accept that? I do

:58:02.:58:09.

accept in sport there is a lot of emotion involved and a lot of ego

:58:10.:58:14.

involved and particularly in a game like the Premier League. A lot of

:58:15.:58:19.

language happens. However, it is unacceptable that somebody who is a

:58:20.:58:23.

highly qualified doctor who has trained for many years walks out on

:58:24.:58:27.

to a pitch in front of thousands of people with millions watching on the

:58:28.:58:31.

TV and gets spoken to the way she did. I understand managers lose

:58:32.:58:38.

their temper, however, managers are there to set standards for the

:58:39.:58:43.

players and to speak to hide the way he did and not apologised after the

:58:44.:58:48.

game is unacceptable. Not just that, she was demoted after that. Should

:58:49.:58:53.

she develop special skills to deal with that? It is tricky because I am

:58:54.:58:57.

not privy to what goes on behind doors. That is a fact. You are

:58:58.:59:04.

right, that is not acceptable. But having worked in that environment

:59:05.:59:08.

you have to understand that that environment is very special and

:59:09.:59:12.

specific. You understand these things go on and it is not correct

:59:13.:59:17.

women learn to develop and work well in this environment. Depending what

:59:18.:59:25.

you read she has either received ?2 million or ?5 million, Eva Carneiro,

:59:26.:59:28.

to end this case and keep it confidential. Some people are asking

:59:29.:59:32.

why it is that much, what do you think? Again she has got her own

:59:33.:59:38.

personal reasons for ending the tribunal when she did. However, this

:59:39.:59:44.

will be a bit of a headache for Jose Mourinho as he starts his new role

:59:45.:59:48.

in Manchester United, and Chelsea football club what this finished and

:59:49.:59:51.

over and done with before the season begins again in August. A club like

:59:52.:59:57.

Chelsea have the power to pay any amount of money to end any

:59:58.:00:02.

situation. Like I say, they will not what this hanging over their heads

:00:03.:00:05.

and they have the power to throw any amount of money at her to end it.

:00:06.:00:13.

Thank you Berry match. -- thank you very much. Still to come: He was a

:00:14.:00:24.

young man travelling the world, but in 1978 John Dewhirst ended up

:00:25.:00:28.

completely by chance becoming one of millions of murder by Cambodia's

:00:29.:00:34.

brutal Khmer Rouge regime. This week in Cambodia the man who ran the

:00:35.:00:38.

prison is due to take the stand in a war crimes tribunal. I will be

:00:39.:00:40.

talking to John's sister. Did you manage to dodge the

:00:41.:00:54.

thunderstorms yesterday? I did! We had some good footage. Some of the

:00:55.:00:58.

heaviest storms affected parts of Brighton towards the South Coast and

:00:59.:01:03.

then these scenes came from southern parts of London. Particularly badly

:01:04.:01:09.

hit were areas around the Croydon area and into Sutton, causing

:01:10.:01:13.

problems for commuters for sure. Some transport disruption there.

:01:14.:01:18.

Looking at the forecast for the next 24 hours or so, we are going to see

:01:19.:01:21.

some further thunderstorms bubbling up as we go through the day today.

:01:22.:01:25.

So after a decent start to the day with sunshine, the clouds will again

:01:26.:01:29.

develop this afternoon to bring some scattered, pretty heavy showers.

:01:30.:01:32.

Now, thunderstorms won't be as widespread. They won't be as heavy

:01:33.:01:35.

as those of yesterday, but because they will be slow moving, they could

:01:36.:01:39.

cause some issues. We start the day with more cloud around than we had

:01:40.:01:42.

yesterday. That cloud started off bringing rain and patches there

:01:43.:01:46.

across south-east England and the London area and damp weather coming

:01:47.:01:49.

into the far north of Scotland too. Aside from that, through the rest of

:01:50.:01:52.

the morning, most of us will have a dry and bright morning with

:01:53.:01:57.

increasing amounts of sunshine. It feels on the humid side. We will

:01:58.:02:00.

start to see the showers develop, some of them will turn out to be

:02:01.:02:06.

really heavy. One or two thunderstorms dotted around across

:02:07.:02:09.

north-west England, but there will be heavy showers as well working in

:02:10.:02:12.

across the Midlands and into central and Southern England and the South

:02:13.:02:15.

East and the London area too. There could be localised surface water

:02:16.:02:18.

flooding from the heaviest downpours. Temperatures, we are

:02:19.:02:23.

looking at highs up to 26 Celsius, but cooler around the North Sea

:02:24.:02:29.

coasts. It should stay dry for Northern Ireland and maybe the odd

:02:30.:02:34.

shower towards Antrim and Down and showers affecting western areas of

:02:35.:02:37.

Scotland. During this evening and overnight,

:02:38.:02:41.

the showers will fade away that bit more quickly than they did last

:02:42.:02:45.

night. Low cloud will come in from the North Sea, coming across central

:02:46.:02:48.

and Eastern Scotland in towards England. Rather misty and murky

:02:49.:02:53.

around the coasts. A fresher feel to things across eastern areas and warm

:02:54.:02:56.

towards the west. Tomorrow's forecast, well, we are looking at a

:02:57.:03:00.

fine start to the day. The cloud will break up. The mist lifting and

:03:01.:03:03.

sunny spells coming through. A few showers. This time mostly affecting

:03:04.:03:08.

parts of Northern England and Scotland and temperatures wise we

:03:09.:03:11.

are looking at highs into the low 20s, peaking at 23 Celsius. That's

:03:12.:03:13.

your latest forecast. Our top story today,

:03:14.:03:18.

the former Chief Executive of BHS, Darren Topp, has accused the man

:03:19.:03:30.

who bought the company before it folded, Dominic Chappell,

:03:31.:03:33.

of having his "fingers in the till". And other executives say they were

:03:34.:03:42.

misled too. The lay person's term is it was a Premier League liar and a

:03:43.:03:51.

Sunday pub league retailer at best. Give me some facts! That's what you

:03:52.:03:55.

have been telling us you want when it comes to trying to make up your

:03:56.:04:02.

mind on how to vote in the EU referendum in two weeks' time. We

:04:03.:04:05.

will try and bring you some of those facts on immigration, economy and

:04:06.:04:10.

the jobs. Plus track and field athlete Tom Boss worth who came out

:04:11.:04:13.

on this programme last year, tells us he has achieved his life long

:04:14.:04:18.

dream by qualifying for the Olympic Games this summer. I don't think it

:04:19.:04:23.

has sunk in yet. It has been a life long dream that I don't think until

:04:24.:04:27.

I'm there will it feel like it is happening, you know.

:04:28.:04:31.

Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:04:32.:04:40.

In the last few minutes, the head of the team who took over

:04:41.:04:43.

BHS before its collapse, Dominic Chappell, has been called

:04:44.:04:45.

a "Premier League liar" during evidence to MPs on the Work

:04:46.:04:48.

The 88-year-old company was bought by Mr Chappell from Sir Philip Green

:04:49.:04:57.

Administrators confirmed last Thursday that a buyer hadn't been

:04:58.:05:01.

found for the retailer, meaning 163 stores would close

:05:02.:05:03.

One executive told MPs he felt he was misled.

:05:04.:05:07.

I think I was duped. I think the technical term is a myth maniac. The

:05:08.:05:15.

lay person's term is, he was a Premier League liar and a Sunday pub

:05:16.:05:20.

league retailer at best. Now, that's great in hindsight, but

:05:21.:05:24.

at the time, because I particularly wanted to meet Darren and I wanted

:05:25.:05:28.

to meet the management team, highly credible, highly credible turn

:05:29.:05:31.

around plan that certainly had legs. It needed a lot of things going

:05:32.:05:35.

right, but with cash behind the business, there was no reason why

:05:36.:05:37.

this business could not turn itself around.

:05:38.:05:41.

There are calls from across the political spectrum for voter

:05:42.:05:43.

registration for the EU referendum to be extended after the official

:05:44.:05:47.

website crashed in the run-up to last night's deadline.

:05:48.:05:49.

Many would-be voters were unable to log on after 10pm last night,

:05:50.:05:52.

immediately after the end of the latest TV debate.

:05:53.:05:55.

The Government blamed it on "unprecedented demand".

:05:56.:05:57.

The Lib Dem Leader says it would be "practical and legal"

:05:58.:05:59.

Well, the danger is that if the vote is close in either direction that

:06:00.:06:13.

will leave a cloud of uncertainty and of illegitimacy over the

:06:14.:06:16.

outcome. The last thing we want for the outcome of the referendum to be

:06:17.:06:20.

unclear. We said it will be a win or lose, it won't be a draw. We might

:06:21.:06:24.

end up in a situation where this effectively becomes a draw because

:06:25.:06:27.

the margin of victory could be smaller than the number of people

:06:28.:06:30.

excluded because of a technical glitch.

:06:31.:06:34.

US President Barack Obama has congratulated Hillary Clinton

:06:35.:06:36.

for clinching the Democratic presidential nomination,

:06:37.:06:37.

after winning primary elections in more States.

:06:38.:06:39.

Her rival, Bernie Sanders, is still refusing to admit defeat.

:06:40.:06:41.

Mrs Clinton told supporters that being the first woman

:06:42.:06:44.

nominated by a major party was an historic moment.

:06:45.:06:51.

The police watchdog has criticised the Sussex force

:06:52.:06:54.

for using handcuffs, leg restraints and a so-called

:06:55.:06:56.

spit-hood on an 11-year-old girl with a severe mental disability.

:06:57.:06:59.

The girl was also detained by police without the presence

:07:00.:07:01.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission says 11 officers

:07:02.:07:09.

have a case to answer for misconduct over the treatment of the girl,

:07:10.:07:12.

who was detained four times and held for a total of 60 hours.

:07:13.:07:15.

The girl's family's solicitor, Gus Silverman, said she was caused

:07:16.:07:18.

distress, and that the use of such restraints is rare.

:07:19.:07:28.

Special schools, health care units up and down the country are dealing

:07:29.:07:34.

every day with children who present challenging behaviour or behaviour

:07:35.:07:38.

which challenges. They would never dream of using handcuffs and leg

:07:39.:07:43.

restraints and spit hoods on those children. So the question then

:07:44.:07:47.

becomes why should the police use those forms of restraint? Now, I

:07:48.:07:54.

think it is really important to know that Sussex Police, they authorised

:07:55.:07:58.

the use of spit hoods, but other large police forces don't.

:07:59.:08:02.

One of the world's most wanted people smugglers,

:08:03.:08:04.

who has been blamed for the deaths of hundreds of migrants, has been

:08:05.:08:07.

Nicknamed "The General", 35-year-old Mered Medhanie from Eirtrea,

:08:08.:08:10.

is accused of being behind the Lampedusa tragedy in 2013

:08:11.:08:13.

Let's go to Rome. Investigators were involved in the hunt for him. They

:08:14.:08:43.

found him through communications da and through intercepts. It is

:08:44.:08:48.

important because in all of this current migration crisis of the last

:08:49.:08:53.

few years, this is the first time that a major smuggler has been

:08:54.:08:57.

caught in Africa and sent to face trial in Italy and prosecutors

:08:58.:09:01.

accuse him of, from their point of view, horrific behaviour, of

:09:02.:09:05.

kidnapping other groups of migrants, putting them on barely sea worthy

:09:06.:09:09.

vessels from North Africa towards Europe and let's bear in mind

:09:10.:09:12.

hundreds and hundreds of people died on the journeys in recent years. It

:09:13.:09:16.

has become the world's most dangerous migrant journey. Thank

:09:17.:09:17.

you, James. I will be back with more at 10.30am.

:09:18.:09:26.

Back to you Victoria. Thank you, Joanna. Lots of you getting in touch

:09:27.:09:35.

about the 11-year-old girl restrained by Sussex Police. They

:09:36.:09:41.

have been criticised by the Police Watchdog for using handcuffs and leg

:09:42.:09:44.

cuffs and the spit hood on president girl. Helen says, "My sympathies lie

:09:45.:09:52.

with the police. Why were they continually called out to deal with

:09:53.:09:55.

this 11-year-old? Who would want to join the police?" Bobby says, "Stop

:09:56.:10:03.

blaming the police. Why were the parents letting the child go along

:10:04.:10:06.

so far without medication knowing things could turn into a sudden

:10:07.:10:12.

behaviour change?" Maggie says, "I'm not defending Sussex Police, however

:10:13.:10:17.

my son has been spat at in his line of work which has meant a series of

:10:18.:10:21.

injections to cope with possible infections." Peter says, "Here we go

:10:22.:10:25.

again, the police officers retiring to avoid any action being taken

:10:26.:10:28.

against them for the way they dealt with this young girl. It really is

:10:29.:10:33.

time this stopped happening." The IPCC, the Police Watchdog,

:10:34.:10:37.

recommended that 11 officers had a case to answer when it came to

:10:38.:10:41.

misconduct charges. Two of those officers have retired. Get in touch

:10:42.:10:43.

with us throughout the morning. Use the hashtag Victoria Live

:10:44.:10:46.

and If you text, you will be charged Good morning. If you are like me,

:10:47.:10:59.

you can't wait for the start of Euro 2016.

:11:00.:11:05.

The last thing you'd want is an injury.

:11:06.:11:07.

That could be the case for Northern Ireland

:11:08.:11:09.

Katie Gornall is watching their training session this morning.

:11:10.:11:12.

Katie, what's the latest on kile Lafferty? Kyle Lafferty is here. He

:11:13.:11:26.

is not taking part with the training. He is on an exercise bike.

:11:27.:11:32.

He seems to be in good spirits. He gave a thumb-up to everyone. That

:11:33.:11:35.

will be a good sign for Northern Ireland's fans and for the squads

:11:36.:11:39.

here. Losing Lafferty or Northern Ireland's captain, Steve Davis would

:11:40.:11:43.

have been a worse case scenario for Michael O'Neill. They were reliant

:11:44.:11:48.

on Lafferty, his seven goals were crucial to their qualification.

:11:49.:11:51.

There was a lot of concern yesterday when he fell here and went down,

:11:52.:11:55.

apparently with a groin injury when he stretched for the ball and limped

:11:56.:11:59.

out of training, but Michael O'Neill after the training session was keen

:12:00.:12:03.

to play down any fears, he says it wasn't anything major and he expects

:12:04.:12:06.

him to be fit for Northern Ireland's opening game against Poland on

:12:07.:12:13.

Sunday in Nice. Should any small fears be realised, he will be

:12:14.:12:17.

replaced by Conor Washington and it would mark a remarkable story,

:12:18.:12:21.

wouldn't it? Conor Washington is a great story, Hugh. The headlines

:12:22.:12:24.

today, Conor Washington ready to deliver. Just four years ago, he was

:12:25.:12:29.

working as a postman and playing in the Conference for St Ives. He said

:12:30.:12:33.

when he was asked about it, yesterday in a press conference, is

:12:34.:12:36.

still pinching himself being here. He admitted he didn't get to watch a

:12:37.:12:42.

lot of Euro 2004 because he early starts as a postman and he couldn't

:12:43.:12:45.

watch the games. Now he is here with Northern Ireland. He was a late

:12:46.:12:48.

call-up to the squad really. He only made his debut in March, but he

:12:49.:12:53.

impressed enough scoring on his debut for Michael O'Neill to feel he

:12:54.:12:59.

deserves a chance in France. He included him in the squad.

:13:00.:13:05.

Washington cites Jamie Vardy as an inspiration to him and in terms of

:13:06.:13:08.

hue he climbed through the League. Washington has come a long way in

:13:09.:13:11.

the past four years. You could say the same of Northern Ireland, of

:13:12.:13:14.

course, how far they've come in the past four years to be here against

:13:15.:13:19.

the odds in France ready to take part in their first major tournament

:13:20.:13:22.

in 30 years. Katie, thank you very much.

:13:23.:13:26.

England's defender Chris Smalling is expected to train today,

:13:27.:13:28.

despite limping out of the team bus with a strapped knee yesterday.

:13:29.:13:31.

He's likely to be fit for their first match

:13:32.:13:33.

Long jumper Greg Rutherford has frozen his sperm over fears he may

:13:34.:13:41.

be affected by the Zika virus at this summer's

:13:42.:13:43.

The virus is known to cause birth defects and although Rutherford

:13:44.:13:49.

already has a son with partner, Suzie Verrill, she wrote

:13:50.:13:52.

in the Evening Standard that "she wouldn't want to be

:13:53.:13:54.

in a situation which could have been prevented."

:13:55.:13:56.

We'll be back with more sport later in the programme.

:13:57.:14:03.

Downing Street says it is looking at whether the voter registration can

:14:04.:14:17.

be extended. After the problems last night affected voter registration.

:14:18.:14:22.

For those of you who are registered and undecided, a lot of you are

:14:23.:14:26.

saying it is impossible to make a decision because both sides are

:14:27.:14:30.

making such wild claims. So it is impossible to work out the facts. It

:14:31.:14:34.

is something so many of you have said to us over and over again and

:14:35.:14:38.

it came up on Monday when we held our audience debate in Manchester on

:14:39.:14:41.

the EU referendum. I'm just really, really frustrated

:14:42.:14:45.

with the whole thing. We have got politicians on both sides behaving

:14:46.:14:48.

like children in a playground. They are slinging things at each other we

:14:49.:14:51.

are not getting any concrete information. I don't know h we're

:14:52.:14:57.

supposed to make a decision and it is a really important decision and

:14:58.:15:00.

it is not just our futures, it is our children's futures as well. What

:15:01.:15:04.

I heard from this side, if Cameron is speaking and what I heard from

:15:05.:15:07.

this side is what Boris Johnson is saying. So in a way, I'm not wiser

:15:08.:15:16.

today. The politicians normally do convince you good, when they can't

:15:17.:15:20.

confuse you, they scare you, that's what happened. No facts we know

:15:21.:15:24.

today that make up my mind. Because the fraus strayings is borne out

:15:25.:15:28.

what seems to be a lot of one sided arguments where all we get is

:15:29.:15:33.

scaremongering tactics. Nobody is allowed to reply with the facts and

:15:34.:15:39.

when facts are presented, they are trying to be dismissed as not

:15:40.:15:42.

factual. When the evidence is there and you can research it on the

:15:43.:15:45.

internet. We never seem to get any hard facts.

:15:46.:15:50.

Do you know what I really want to hear is the problemality of

:15:51.:15:53.

something happening, or something not happening. The politicians just

:15:54.:15:57.

keep using the words, "Could and may."

:15:58.:16:09.

People here have not heard anything that will convince them one way or

:16:10.:16:15.

If you want to watch that programme again you can do so on the iPlayer.

:16:16.:16:20.

But for the next few minutes we're going to try and give

:16:21.:16:23.

you some of those facts, as best we can, on the biggest

:16:24.:16:26.

issues surrounding the referendum from a group of leading experts

:16:27.:16:28.

who can all say that they are 100% impartial on the issue

:16:29.:16:31.

of whether Britain should stay in or leave the European Union.

:16:32.:16:34.

With us in the studio - Will Moy from Full Fact,

:16:35.:16:37.

a group fact checking the referendum claims of both leave and remain

:16:38.:16:39.

and Professor Anand Menon who is the director

:16:40.:16:43.

of the Kings College group 'UK in a changing Europe.

:16:44.:16:46.

First of all, let's just address the issue of impartiality

:16:47.:16:50.

and whether or not our audience should believe you over politicians.

:16:51.:16:52.

We have been fact checking since 2010 on all kinds of issues, not

:16:53.:17:06.

just the EU referendum. We are fact checking the referendum because of

:17:07.:17:10.

over 1000 crowd funders who made it possible to do this work. But we are

:17:11.:17:15.

not asking you to take our word for this. We have a website and you can

:17:16.:17:19.

look at that and judge things for yourselves. We are group of

:17:20.:17:25.

academics whose interest is to allow who know what is being said. We are

:17:26.:17:31.

not campaigning for one side or the other. Let's start with immigration.

:17:32.:17:38.

The Leave Campaign say it is impossible to control immigration

:17:39.:17:42.

from within the European Union. The remaining campaign say it is good

:17:43.:17:46.

for the economy and those from the EU pay more in taxes than they take

:17:47.:17:52.

out. Who is right? It is certainly the case that while we are in the EU

:17:53.:17:57.

you are bound to freedom of movement where anybody can live and work and

:17:58.:18:02.

study in any other EU country, so we cannot control the numbers of people

:18:03.:18:07.

who come here. That is a fair point to make. Immigration for the rest of

:18:08.:18:12.

the world, we have a say over how we control that. On the economic point

:18:13.:18:16.

this is where you cannot actually say definitely this is exactly what

:18:17.:18:22.

is going on. A lot of the issues here are aware there is uncertainty.

:18:23.:18:28.

A lot of different studies, but basically they come out as saying it

:18:29.:18:33.

does not make that much difference to our public finances, immigration,

:18:34.:18:38.

one way or another. It is probably a bit positive. Immigration from the

:18:39.:18:41.

EU is better for as economically than from the rest of the world.

:18:42.:18:47.

Immigration of people coming recently is probably a bit better

:18:48.:18:52.

economically. What would you add? Most of the migration to this

:18:53.:18:57.

country is non-EU, which we can control. In terms of the economics

:18:58.:19:00.

it is worth distinguishing between the macro and the local. EU

:19:01.:19:06.

migration is good for the economy as a whole, but equally you get areas

:19:07.:19:11.

of the country where you get particular concentrations of

:19:12.:19:14.

migration where there are problems with schools, hospitals and GPs like

:19:15.:19:19.

that. There is a distinction between the lived experience of people. Will

:19:20.:19:25.

there be less pressure on public services and more jobs for British

:19:26.:19:29.

people if the UK leaves the European Union? That would depend on what our

:19:30.:19:37.

policy on migration is. It is conceivable we could leave the

:19:38.:19:40.

European Union and have the same number of migrants. Equally we could

:19:41.:19:44.

leave the European Union and control our borders more fiercely. The Leave

:19:45.:19:51.

Campaign say they would introduce a points system which they say would

:19:52.:19:58.

help control migration. Again, a points system is great in principle,

:19:59.:20:03.

it depends what scores you require. Australia gets more migration than

:20:04.:20:07.

us. You could devise a points system that was tight or lose, but what we

:20:08.:20:11.

do not know is what a future Government would do.

:20:12.:20:15.

We have control over who comes here from the rest of the world and we

:20:16.:20:20.

have not reduced that dramatically, so we are talking about assuming we

:20:21.:20:24.

would make a significant change to the immigration policy that we are

:20:25.:20:29.

ready have. But he is right on that, it is about your job, it is not

:20:30.:20:33.

about jobs generally. That is the real story. On jobs, unemployment is

:20:34.:20:40.

over 10% in the EU, double the rate of the UK. The remaining campaign

:20:41.:20:44.

say 3 million jobs in the UK are linked to trade with the EU. The

:20:45.:20:49.

Leave Campaign say they could create more jobs if we left because there

:20:50.:20:54.

would be less regulation, less burdensome regulations in the

:20:55.:20:59.

workplace. There are a variety of things. I think the figure is

:21:00.:21:05.

slightly higher, more than 3 million, but they use that formula

:21:06.:21:09.

linked to. It is extremely unlikely if we left that those jobs would go.

:21:10.:21:15.

Those jobs depend on trade with other European countries. There is

:21:16.:21:18.

no suggestion from the Leave Campaign that if we leave the EU, we

:21:19.:21:23.

will stop trading. There is an implication in the way that phrase

:21:24.:21:26.

is used that maybe these jobs will be in danger if we left and I do not

:21:27.:21:32.

think it is true. That is right, nobody has done those calculations

:21:33.:21:36.

about leaving. People are saying some jobs are on the lane and most

:21:37.:21:41.

economists believe we will be worse off if we leave the EU, there will

:21:42.:21:45.

be a price to pay. It is when they start putting precise numbers on it

:21:46.:21:48.

that you have to start raising your eyebrows. What about if the Leave

:21:49.:21:54.

Campaign says if we left, there would be less regulation in our

:21:55.:21:59.

workplace and businesses would be free to create jobs. You are

:22:00.:22:04.

smiling. I am smiling because I feel for your viewers and we are meant to

:22:05.:22:08.

be giving them the facts and this is an area we do not know what the

:22:09.:22:12.

Government after a Brexit would do. There are no facts about the future.

:22:13.:22:17.

It would be possible should we decide to do so to scrap every piece

:22:18.:22:22.

of legislation on our statute books. It would take decades. There is no

:22:23.:22:26.

indication of future Government would want to do that. That is one

:22:27.:22:30.

of the frustrations about this campaign, a lot of it is about

:22:31.:22:34.

things that would happen in the future and promises being made by

:22:35.:22:37.

people who are not leading our Government now and we do not know if

:22:38.:22:43.

they will in the future. In the audience debate on Monday in the end

:22:44.:22:46.

I was saying, you will have to make a judgment call. The cost of being a

:22:47.:22:52.

member of the EU, last year Britain paid 17.8 billion to the EU. We got

:22:53.:23:02.

back 4.9 billion in the rebate. Another 4.4 billion for farm

:23:03.:23:05.

subsidies, for grants to pull regions of the UK. Is that correct?

:23:06.:23:13.

Those are the right set of figures. You are more familiar about hearing

:23:14.:23:18.

about the ?350 million a week that has been emblazoned on buses by the

:23:19.:23:23.

Leeds side will stop what is going on here is that we would pay ?350

:23:24.:23:30.

million a week to the EU, if we did not have a rebate. We do not pay a

:23:31.:23:37.

rebate to the EU and get it back, we do not get it back. The funds are

:23:38.:23:43.

transferred from Britain to the EU. We sent ?250 million every week and

:23:44.:23:49.

they spend some money back in the UK and that would be about ?85 million

:23:50.:23:54.

a week that they spend in the UK. They are spending it, not the UK

:23:55.:24:00.

Government. We might choose to spend it differently. Whilst this debate

:24:01.:24:07.

about our contribution is interesting, we need to see it in a

:24:08.:24:10.

broader light because what the contribution gets us is access to

:24:11.:24:16.

the market. The gains we have from being in the market dwarf the

:24:17.:24:21.

contribution we pay. Do not think about the membership fee we pay,

:24:22.:24:25.

think about what we get for that membership fee as well. Whilst it is

:24:26.:24:30.

laudable for all those people to say we want facts, politics is not about

:24:31.:24:35.

facts, it is about gut feelings as well and on a certain point you

:24:36.:24:38.

might think why are we giving hundreds of millions of pounds away

:24:39.:24:42.

and that might be what you feel. Fats are a guide, but emotion is

:24:43.:24:52.

central to politics as well. Remains a the benefits outweigh the costs.

:24:53.:24:59.

You have said that. We have talked about the ?350 million. Let me ask

:25:00.:25:04.

you about security. Is Britain more on less at risk of a terrorist

:25:05.:25:11.

attack inside or outside the EU? That is a horrible question to ask

:25:12.:25:17.

you. How would you answer that is working for an impartial

:25:18.:25:19.

organisation when we are trying to deliver only facts? The people who

:25:20.:25:27.

know best whether we are at risk of terror attacks know things the rest

:25:28.:25:30.

of us do not know. It has been interesting as a fact checker

:25:31.:25:35.

hearing heads of MI5 and MI6 pop up and give their opinion on this. You

:25:36.:25:39.

cannot second-guess that because they know things we cannot know and

:25:40.:25:43.

they have re-sources we cannot check for ourselves. There is a lot of

:25:44.:25:49.

cooperation within the European Union on law enforcement matters and

:25:50.:25:53.

there are things like the European arrest warrant and intelligence

:25:54.:25:56.

sharing. There is a question about if we leave, does all that

:25:57.:26:02.

disappear? You can look at Norway which is not a member of the

:26:03.:26:06.

European Union, which is negotiating something like the European arrest

:26:07.:26:13.

warrant to suggest there would be ways of trying to get similar kinds

:26:14.:26:17.

of cooperation if we were not in the EU. You would think that would be in

:26:18.:26:23.

everybody's interest. But all of that is what might happen, what

:26:24.:26:26.

might be negotiated and what expert do you trust? I want to ask about

:26:27.:26:33.

travel because it came up in a debate on BBC One and it has come up

:26:34.:26:38.

in your own organisations, whether or not if Britain left the EU that

:26:39.:26:43.

it would be less easy than it is now to get up, book a cheap flights and

:26:44.:26:47.

go to somewhere in Europe. What would you say? With apologies I

:26:48.:26:53.

would say possibly, but we do not know. It depends on the deal we get.

:26:54.:26:58.

If we do not remain part of the single market, it depends on what

:26:59.:27:04.

the Government does. We could leave the single market altogether, so we

:27:05.:27:09.

are not covered by the provisions of free-roaming in the EU. Our mobile

:27:10.:27:15.

phone operators might say, we will look bad if we ignore it, so we will

:27:16.:27:20.

keep it in place. You are trying to predict what an awful lot of people

:27:21.:27:24.

are going to do under certain eventualities. That is not a great

:27:25.:27:29.

answer for your viewers, but that is the truth. I like the truth. We

:27:30.:27:34.

cannot say what the outcome will be, but we can say what process will be

:27:35.:27:40.

kicked off. When the Government tells the EU we are going to leave,

:27:41.:27:47.

there is a two year period in which we negotiate the details of the

:27:48.:27:52.

exit. In that set of decisions is a big choice, which is does the UK

:27:53.:27:56.

what to say part of the European Union single market or not. You can

:27:57.:28:01.

leave the EU and stay part of the market like Norway. There is a

:28:02.:28:05.

trade-off, which is Norway accepts laws from the EU and free movement

:28:06.:28:10.

of people from the EU and it contributes money to EU countries,

:28:11.:28:14.

but Norway gets the benefits of a single market and free travel and

:28:15.:28:21.

market access. Or we can go all the way out and we get the control over

:28:22.:28:25.

immigration and laws and we do not get some of those economic benefits

:28:26.:28:31.

that people talk about and most economists would say it exists. That

:28:32.:28:35.

is a big choice we would have to be made after we have made our choice

:28:36.:28:38.

about whether we want to leave or not. This is the calmest

:28:39.:28:45.

conversation I have heard about the EU since campaigning began. Thank

:28:46.:28:46.

you very much. Let's go back to the DHS, the former

:28:47.:29:07.

chief Executive of the company, Darren Topp, has accused the man who

:29:08.:29:12.

bought it, Dominic Chappell, of having his fingers in the till. He

:29:13.:29:17.

is giving evidence to a Select Committee about the collapse of the

:29:18.:29:22.

retail chain with the loss of 11,000 jobs. Mr Chappell is due to give

:29:23.:29:29.

evidence in half an hour's time. Rosanna says without doubt Sir

:29:30.:29:33.

Philip Green should be stripped of his knighthood. He sold the company

:29:34.:29:36.

to a totally inexperienced buyer and would not be aware what he was

:29:37.:29:42.

taking on. Green just wanted to get rid of the company and he should

:29:43.:29:46.

ensure all 11,000 employees have a full pension payoffs. Another viewer

:29:47.:29:52.

says, Philip Green needs to be stripped of his knighthood and made

:29:53.:29:57.

to pay back his staff. For too long past and present governments have

:29:58.:30:01.

paid lip service to ordinary people whilst big business treat employees

:30:02.:30:06.

like this. We can bring you more of the evidence. Darren Topp explained

:30:07.:30:11.

it was true that Dominic Chappell try to take ?1.5 million from the

:30:12.:30:16.

company. By initial reaction if I am honest was to call the police. That

:30:17.:30:24.

is a substantial amount of money and this was when we were at the end of

:30:25.:30:30.

the process. I said, Harry, because I know the other director is

:30:31.:30:38.

Swedish, before we called the police, let me ring Dominick. I rang

:30:39.:30:41.

him and he knew about it straightaway. I said to him that is

:30:42.:30:48.

theft. If I take out all the expletive is, he basically said do

:30:49.:30:54.

not kick off about this, Darren, I have had enough of you telling me

:30:55.:30:58.

what to do over the last few months, it is my business, I can do what I

:30:59.:31:02.

want. If you kick off about it I will come down there and kill you.

:31:03.:31:07.

He threatens to kill me again and I know it sounds silly, but apparently

:31:08.:31:14.

he says he was in the helicopter squad of the SAS, there was a little

:31:15.:31:21.

bit of me that thought he would threaten me and I said I would call

:31:22.:31:24.

the police. Still to come, he was a young man

:31:25.:31:31.

travelling the world, but in 1978, British man

:31:32.:31:43.

John Dewhirst, ended up, completely by chance,

:31:44.:31:45.

becoming one of millions murdered by Cambodia's brutal

:31:46.:31:47.

Khmer Rouge regime. This week, in Cambodia,

:31:48.:31:49.

the man that ran the prison is due to take the stand

:31:50.:31:51.

in a war crimes tribunal. I'll be talking to Hilary Holland,

:31:52.:31:54.

John Dewhirst's sister. Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom

:31:55.:32:01.

with a summary of today's news. The head of the team that took over

:32:02.:32:12.

BHS has been called a Premier League liar during evidence to MPs on the

:32:13.:32:16.

Work and Pensions Committee. The 88-year-old company was bought by Mr

:32:17.:32:23.

Chappell from Sir Philip Green for a pound last year. One executive told

:32:24.:32:35.

MPs he felt he was misled. I think I was duped. I think the technical

:32:36.:32:41.

term is a myth maniac. The lay person's term is he was a Premier

:32:42.:32:45.

League liar and a Sunday pub league retailer at best. Now, that's great

:32:46.:32:51.

in hindsight, but at the time because I particularly wanted to

:32:52.:32:55.

meet Darren and I wanted to meet the management team, highly credible,

:32:56.:32:59.

highly credible turn around plan. It certainly had legs, it needed a lot

:33:00.:33:02.

of things going right, but with cash behind the business, there was no

:33:03.:33:05.

reason why this business could not turn itself around.

:33:06.:33:10.

There are calls from across the political spectrum for voter

:33:11.:33:12.

registration for the EU referendum to be extended after the official

:33:13.:33:15.

website crashed in the run up to last night's deadline.

:33:16.:33:19.

Many would-be voters were unable to log

:33:20.:33:21.

immediately after the end of the latest TV debate.

:33:22.:33:25.

The Government blamed it on "unprecedented demand".

:33:26.:33:27.

US President Barack Obama has congratulated Hillary Clinton

:33:28.:33:29.

for clinching the Democratic presidential nomination,

:33:30.:33:30.

after winning primary elections in more States.

:33:31.:33:32.

Her rival, Bernie Sanders, is still refusing to admit defeat.

:33:33.:33:34.

Mrs Clinton told supporters that being the first woman

:33:35.:33:37.

nominated by a major party was an historic moment.

:33:38.:33:49.

One of the world's most wanted people smugglers,

:33:50.:33:51.

who has been blamed for the deaths of hundreds of migrants, has been

:33:52.:33:54.

Nicknamed "The General", 35-year-old Mered Medhanie from Eirtrea,

:33:55.:33:58.

is accused of being behind the Lampedusa tragedy in 2013

:33:59.:34:00.

in which at least 359 people died.

:34:01.:34:05.

That's a summary of the latest news, join me for BBC

:34:06.:34:07.

The sport, here is Hugh. Kyle Lafferty has eased concerns over his

:34:08.:34:24.

fitness concerns. He was on an exercise bike this morning after

:34:25.:34:30.

injuring a groin yesterday. Chris Smalling should be fit for England

:34:31.:34:34.

training today and for the match with Russia on Saturday despite a

:34:35.:34:38.

knee injury. Neil Lennon is expected to be named as the new boss of Hibs

:34:39.:34:44.

today. He will replace Alan Stubbs who left for Rotherham.

:34:45.:34:55.

Greg Rutherford has had his sperm frozen over fears he to be affected

:34:56.:35:04.

by the ze ka virus. His partner says they don't want to have any future

:35:05.:35:08.

problems. This morning track and field

:35:09.:35:12.

athlete Tom Bosworth, who you may remember came out

:35:13.:35:14.

on this programme last year, tells us he's achieved his lifelong

:35:15.:35:17.

dream by qualifying to compete for Great Britain at

:35:18.:35:19.

the Rio Olympics this year. The 26-year-old race walker missed

:35:20.:35:24.

out on representing Team GB by just 19 seconds four years ago in 2012,

:35:25.:35:27.

but this weekend secured the qualifying time needed

:35:28.:35:29.

for Rio by finishing first We'll be following his progress

:35:30.:35:32.

in Rio on this programme Before we hear from him again

:35:33.:35:37.

this is what he told I'm here to speak publicly

:35:38.:35:42.

for the first time about my sexuality and to the public I am

:35:43.:35:46.

going to come out. To my family and friends

:35:47.:35:50.

this is no surprise, but I felt now was the right time

:35:51.:35:52.

to speak publicly about this. Now I am at a higher level

:35:53.:35:57.

and I have had a lot of interest in social media, mostly to do

:35:58.:36:03.

with sport, but I often do get I've been comfortable

:36:04.:36:06.

in my sexuality and in a really happy relationship for the last four

:36:07.:36:18.

and a half years, so this isn't But to speak out about this

:36:19.:36:21.

being a sportsman it's I am sat with you here today,

:36:22.:36:25.

so I guess it is still news, but in a few years' time I can see

:36:26.:36:34.

this being just anybody else, like anybody can succeed in sport

:36:35.:36:38.

and if more people can come out, Since that interview Tom Bosworth

:36:39.:36:43.

tells us a number of people have confided in him

:36:44.:36:58.

about their sexuality. And he's still looking forward

:36:59.:36:59.

to the day he says when someone's But he started by telling me

:37:00.:37:02.

about qualifying for the Olympics. I don't think it's

:37:03.:37:06.

quite sunk in yet. It's been a lifelong dream that

:37:07.:37:08.

I don't think pretty much until I'm there,

:37:09.:37:10.

will it actually feel Tell our audience how

:37:11.:37:12.

you were feeling before that race. I think I was more nervous before

:37:13.:37:21.

that race than any other race. I felt confident that

:37:22.:37:24.

I should win the race. I've been number one in Britain

:37:25.:37:29.

for a good few years now. It's the whole formality

:37:30.:37:37.

of going through 20k, That would have been silly for me

:37:38.:37:39.

to think I've got this easily. It was just, I had to do

:37:40.:37:43.

a job, and that I did. You missed out on London

:37:44.:37:46.

four years ago. How much does it mean to hopefully

:37:47.:37:48.

represent Team GB this summer? Ah yes, I don't have

:37:49.:37:51.

words to explain it. Four years ago I missed out, as you

:37:52.:37:57.

say, and just by a few seconds. I think I spent a week crying

:37:58.:38:00.

in bed because literally, Now, an Olympic Games

:38:01.:38:06.

is still an Olympic Games and I'm What happens in terms

:38:07.:38:14.

of your training schedule over A lot more training.

:38:15.:38:22.

We've come off the race. Yeah, big mileage now, before we go

:38:23.:38:31.

to altitude where we'll have Yeah, that will take us right up

:38:32.:38:34.

to the Olympics and we will fly When you are race walking for 20km,

:38:35.:38:38.

what is it that's going You know every step

:38:39.:38:44.

is always about technique Yeah, we don't listen to music

:38:45.:38:49.

or anything like that, My coach is always

:38:50.:38:53.

commenting on technique. Yeah, I've got training partners

:38:54.:38:58.

which makes the time go There's always a background noise

:38:59.:39:01.

in the run-up to any Olympics, but the background noise with Rio

:39:02.:39:07.

is concerns over the Zika virus We've had Russia won't be there,

:39:08.:39:10.

a total ban for them, retesting of doping samples

:39:11.:39:17.

from the Beijing Games. First of all the Zika virus,

:39:18.:39:19.

it's not going to affect you personally, but do

:39:20.:39:22.

you worry about those things? The media has made it clear

:39:23.:39:25.

that these things are there, and it's a major problem

:39:26.:39:33.

for that part of the world. I also trust in the people

:39:34.:39:36.

who are organising it I don't believe they would put

:39:37.:39:39.

anybody's life at risk without going through the correct

:39:40.:39:48.

procedure to start with. We've got to trust in these people,

:39:49.:39:50.

they're not just organising And in terms of cheating

:39:51.:39:53.

on the track during the Games, the International Association

:39:54.:40:02.

of Athletics Federations is the official body supposed

:40:03.:40:04.

to govern track and field events, do you have confidence in them

:40:05.:40:08.

to crack down on doping? Again, they are currently doing

:40:09.:40:11.

a very tough job of trying to out those people that have been cheating

:40:12.:40:16.

for a very long time. You know, it's all coming out

:40:17.:40:18.

in the media now, and we are seeing one article after another

:40:19.:40:22.

about another cheat and so on. But actually, that's what we need

:40:23.:40:25.

to happen for us to move on. When I stand on that start line

:40:26.:40:29.

in Rio, I know most of those people on that start line,

:40:30.:40:33.

and I think I trust them. I wouldn't want to

:40:34.:40:38.

think any other way. I'm happy to go out there and be

:40:39.:40:40.

the best I can be and know When we spoke to you in October last

:40:41.:40:44.

year, you told our audience You are the second track and field

:40:45.:40:49.

athlete to do so, I was expecting, even

:40:50.:40:52.

a little bit of slight Not everybody sees the world

:40:53.:41:03.

through my eyes and the same eyes as most people,

:41:04.:41:09.

I'd like to think. The only negativity that came

:41:10.:41:11.

across was people saying things like, this isn't a story,

:41:12.:41:22.

why do we care? That didn't bother me,

:41:23.:41:24.

that's exactly how I I wonder if you feel a certain

:41:25.:41:26.

responsibility now as Yeah, I don't think I'd realised

:41:27.:41:32.

quite the responsibility that I'm having to take that

:41:33.:41:39.

on and I'm proud, actually. It's something that I realised quite

:41:40.:41:48.

quickly, I do have a responsibility, whether I can support and help one

:41:49.:41:51.

person or 100 people, That is to me personally,

:41:52.:41:53.

not everybody might think like that, I did that last October

:41:54.:41:59.

and now I have to deal I wonder, how far you think

:42:00.:42:05.

we are away from other current contemporaries of

:42:06.:42:21.

yours to coming out? That's a question I just can't

:42:22.:42:22.

answer. I have literally no idea

:42:23.:42:27.

because hopefully it won't be a thing that you have to come out

:42:28.:42:29.

publicly, you can just live openly. Has anyone so far confided

:42:30.:42:32.

in you since you revealed your news? Not within sport, but some

:42:33.:42:37.

other people have. People are telling you private

:42:38.:42:39.

information about their lives Yes, that's exactly

:42:40.:42:52.

what made me realise, hold on, I've got

:42:53.:42:59.

a responsibility here, As I say, it makes me proud to be

:43:00.:43:00.

able to help just one person. So, how do you think

:43:01.:43:09.

you are going to do in Rio? I'm not putting a number

:43:10.:43:12.

on it publicly. I finished 24th in Beijing

:43:13.:43:15.

at the World Championships last year, I wasn't happy

:43:16.:43:20.

with that whatsoever. And so, minimum is better than 24th,

:43:21.:43:27.

but after the season I've had, I've broken records and won international

:43:28.:43:30.

races for the first time. I'm going in with confidence that

:43:31.:43:34.

if the next two months can be a good block of training,

:43:35.:43:38.

I can go in there in the best possible shape I can be,

:43:39.:43:41.

and finish a lot higher. Times on championship days

:43:42.:43:46.

are always difficult It's right down to what happens

:43:47.:43:51.

on the day. Sometimes races can be won a lot

:43:52.:43:59.

slower than most people's I would like to do 20km

:44:00.:44:01.

in about 1hr 20 again. My PB puts me right up

:44:02.:44:11.

there close to the medals, if I can get that sort

:44:12.:44:14.

of level of performance. I'm just going to try and go

:44:15.:44:16.

there and do my best. Tom, we wish you the very best

:44:17.:44:19.

of luck, hope it goes Obviously we are going to follow

:44:20.:44:22.

your progress and hopefully we'll talk to you when you're

:44:23.:44:26.

out there as well. .

:44:27.:44:28.

Tom Bosworth. The I The force said it carried out.

:44:29.:44:51.

The girl can't be identified. Her mother described her treatment as

:44:52.:44:55.

horrific. Here, her words are spoken for her.

:44:56.:45:04.

I've never seen anything like it in my life.

:45:05.:45:06.

It was for me, as a mother, like watching...

:45:07.:45:08.

I couldn't see any child like that, you know?

:45:09.:45:10.

It would be extremely disturbing to see any child like that.

:45:11.:45:13.

But to see your own child shackled up with leg restraints

:45:14.:45:16.

and handcuffed behind the back, behind her back with a spit

:45:17.:45:18.

hood over her head, was a worst nightmare.

:45:19.:45:20.

It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen and I will never get

:45:21.:45:25.

The family's solicitor told us what happened. My client's mother was

:45:26.:45:38.

well used to caring for her daughter and she knew her temper tantrums

:45:39.:45:43.

would pass. But police officer turned up and used handcuffs and leg

:45:44.:45:48.

restraints and a food and they took her to a police station and she was

:45:49.:45:54.

detained cumulatively for over 60 hours. That experience meant that my

:45:55.:45:57.

client was not able to calm down. She was in an entirely alien

:45:58.:46:04.

environment and her mother was not there and this was not an

:46:05.:46:08.

environment in which a child with this kind of disability was ever

:46:09.:46:14.

going to calm down. Thank you for getting in touch. This is from

:46:15.:46:20.

somebody calling themselves Lord Elwyn and they say my daughter has

:46:21.:46:25.

depression and sometimes self harms and the treatment meted out to her

:46:26.:46:29.

by our local hospital and the police has been disgraceful. The staff at

:46:30.:46:33.

the hospital have no idea how to treat her and their solution was to

:46:34.:46:37.

have her manhandled by the police to remove her from the hospital. On

:46:38.:46:42.

another occasion she was placed in a cell as a place of safety and in

:46:43.:46:46.

neither case where the appropriate crisis team is called. This has to

:46:47.:46:51.

get better. Cecilia says, what are the policemen to do if they are

:46:52.:46:56.

called out to an aggressive individual? They are right to

:46:57.:46:58.

protect themselves and the child in question. Where they have gone wrong

:46:59.:47:04.

is not allowing the mother or a support worker to see her. My

:47:05.:47:15.

daughters were on the train and were tackled by four police each, slammed

:47:16.:47:20.

up against a wall and handcuffed behind their backs. They were held

:47:21.:47:23.

for ten hours in separate cells without adult supervision. The

:47:24.:47:28.

police used force when it was simply not called for. Thank you.

:47:29.:47:33.

He was a young man travelling the world, but in 1978,

:47:34.:47:36.

British man John Dewhirst, ended up, completely by chance,

:47:37.:47:38.

becoming one of millions murdered by Cambodia's brutal

:47:39.:47:40.

Pol Pot's army had set up prison camps across the country,

:47:41.:47:46.

and after the boat John was sailing in strayed off course,

:47:47.:47:48.

he was captured and taken to the most notorious one of all,

:47:49.:47:51.

This week, in Cambodia, the man that ran the prison

:47:52.:48:00.

is due to take the stand in a war crimes tribunal.

:48:01.:48:04.

Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Comrade Duch is already

:48:05.:48:08.

serving a life sentence, but is expected to give nine days

:48:09.:48:11.

of evidence in the trial of two other members of the Khmer Rouge.

:48:12.:48:15.

He'll be giving more details about life in that horrific prison.

:48:16.:48:18.

In a minute I'll be talking to Hilary Holland,

:48:19.:48:21.

John Dewhirst's sister, but first let's look back

:48:22.:48:24.

at the events of the 1970's in Cambodia.

:48:25.:48:27.

And a warning that what we're about to play contains

:48:28.:48:29.

strobing and flashing images from the start plus material

:48:30.:48:32.

One of the jails where these people, known as "the rotten",

:48:33.:49:59.

were rounded up and sent to, was called Tuol Sleng.

:50:00.:50:15.

In 1979 the Khmer Rouge regime collapsed.

:50:16.:50:40.

John Dewhirst's sister, Hilary Holland, has never spoken

:50:41.:50:43.

publicly before but she joins us now in an exclusive interview.

:50:44.:50:49.

Thank you very much for talking to us. John was 26, it was 1978, he had

:50:50.:50:58.

met up with two other guys and they had hired a boat and they were meant

:50:59.:51:02.

to be going to Thailand and it strayed into Cambodian waters. You

:51:03.:51:07.

knew none of this at the time. When did you know what had happened to

:51:08.:51:13.

the boat? Not until January 1980 and he was killed in 1978. The last time

:51:14.:51:20.

I heard from him was a letter in about June, 1978, when he told me he

:51:21.:51:26.

was helping to make a boat ready to sell to Thailand. He had been

:51:27.:51:30.

travelling for quite a long time, so I did not worry too much initially

:51:31.:51:35.

when I did not hear from him. He used to write to me about once a

:51:36.:51:42.

month. Then the months went by and I started to write to people, people

:51:43.:51:47.

who used to know him, to the British Embassy, everybody I could think of,

:51:48.:51:53.

and that went on for over a year. Was it a call from the Foreign

:51:54.:52:00.

Office? That is right, that would be in January, 1980. It was out of the

:52:01.:52:06.

blue, I was not expecting it at all. It was a short conversation, it was

:52:07.:52:13.

just a message really that a reporter from a magazine, the first

:52:14.:52:27.

reporter to see the prison, he was shown a lot of documentary evidence

:52:28.:52:32.

that showed that my brother had been there, including his confession, no

:52:33.:52:37.

photographs of him. There was quite a good deal of evidence he had been

:52:38.:52:41.

there, said that information had been passed on to the Foreign Office

:52:42.:52:45.

who just informed me it was likely that he had been caught up in the

:52:46.:52:53.

Pol Pot regime. The journalist in the end contacted you. What

:52:54.:52:58.

information was passed to you at that point? He showed me some very

:52:59.:53:03.

graphic photos, rather like the ones you have had on your show today.

:53:04.:53:09.

When he got to the prison there were still bodies there. He did tell me

:53:10.:53:16.

there was evidence to suggest my brother was there, but I was so

:53:17.:53:25.

distressed at that time I actually did not want to hear everything he

:53:26.:53:30.

could have told me at that time. I found out more as the years have

:53:31.:53:35.

gone by and I have been to Cambodia and I have been to the prison and

:53:36.:53:40.

seen the museum. I will ask you about your visit in a moment. The

:53:41.:53:44.

confession your brother had apparently made, what was the nature

:53:45.:53:50.

of that? A complete fabrication. It was about ten pages long. It started

:53:51.:53:54.

with his description of how they were captured, which was presumably

:53:55.:54:00.

factual insofar as there were three of them on the boat and one of them

:54:01.:54:06.

was shot straightaway and was buried at sea and the other two were

:54:07.:54:10.

captured and taken to prison. Then he went on at length about how he

:54:11.:54:17.

was a CIA spy and his father was a CIA spy. He named a lock of his

:54:18.:54:21.

friends and they were all spies as well. It seemed as if there had to

:54:22.:54:26.

be a great deal of detail in the confession. I understand that the

:54:27.:54:35.

torture continued in my brother's case for about three or four weeks

:54:36.:54:44.

and it continued until the confession was adequate. The draft

:54:45.:54:55.

confessions would be looked at and annotated and then more torture

:54:56.:54:58.

would be ordered until they got the confession they wanted. It was a

:54:59.:55:05.

complete fabrication, almost a joke. And this man, Kaing Guek Eav, he is

:55:06.:55:09.

due to give evidence in a war crimes tribunal this week and he is in jail

:55:10.:55:14.

for the rest of his life for the crimes perpetrated at the jail where

:55:15.:55:19.

John was. I want to play this clip of him, it is in giving evidence in

:55:20.:55:22.

2009. What do you think of this man? I

:55:23.:56:01.

think he is quite disingenuous and he is able to manipulate his

:56:02.:56:05.

audience very well. Whatever evidence he gives during the current

:56:06.:56:13.

tribunal will not be really helpful. He may give more information, but he

:56:14.:56:18.

has already provided quite a lot. The most interesting and important

:56:19.:56:23.

fact about him appearing in the tribunal is for people to observe a

:56:24.:56:30.

fairly ordinary human being who does not come over as a criminal, even a

:56:31.:56:36.

mastermind, who could perpetrate such brutal acts of violence. I

:56:37.:56:41.

think that is perhaps one of the most important things to come out of

:56:42.:56:46.

the tribunal, for people to see this man. Why was it important for you to

:56:47.:56:53.

go there this year? Why now? It has taken me all this time to pluck up

:56:54.:57:01.

the courage to go. I am still so emotionally vulnerable about it and

:57:02.:57:07.

I want to explain what I feel a lot of people in Cambodia feel in the

:57:08.:57:12.

same way that I do. It is not just the loss of a loved one, death is

:57:13.:57:17.

final and you can come to terms and deal with that, it is the method of

:57:18.:57:21.

the death and the weeks and weeks of torture and agony and that just does

:57:22.:57:28.

not ever go away. I wanted to go to Cambodia and speak to other people

:57:29.:57:32.

who had lost their family in the same way and find out if people felt

:57:33.:57:37.

the same as me because I am the only person in this country who has had

:57:38.:57:42.

this experience and it is unusual to say the least. Did it help? It did,

:57:43.:57:54.

it made me confront my own Demons and it made me remember how

:57:55.:57:58.

important it is for the world to remember what happened. A lot of

:57:59.:58:05.

people do not even know what happened in the first place. It is

:58:06.:58:10.

just crucial that that understanding is still on. Thank you, I appreciate

:58:11.:58:19.

your time. Thank you for your time as well today. Joanna is here

:58:20.:58:21.

tomorrow, I am back on Monday. It's home to a million people

:58:22.:58:31.

at any one time...

:58:32.:58:35.
