:03:15. > :03:18.Both sides of the debate are making their last ditch
:03:19. > :03:22.This morning, directors of companies employing nearly two million people
:03:23. > :03:24.have come out in favour of staying in the EU.
:03:25. > :03:27.They warn in an open letter that leaving will harm

:03:50. > :03:55.This was the final showdown of the long campaign
:03:56. > :03:59.with 6,000 watching up close and millions more at home,
:04:00. > :04:02.here was a chance to argue the case one last time
:04:03. > :04:08.Boris Johnson said will there be job losses?
:04:09. > :04:21.All the Remain side have to talk about is Project Fear.
:04:22. > :04:23.We are the fifth biggest economy in the world.
:04:24. > :04:26.We will be able to accomplish free trade once we're free
:04:27. > :04:29.Immigration has played a huge part in this campaign, provoking some
:04:30. > :04:35.The first thing we should do tonight in a discussion about immigration
:04:36. > :04:37.is celebrate immigrants and immigration and everything
:04:38. > :04:44.that they do for our country because I speak entirely personally.
:04:45. > :04:51.My family has benefited massively from immigration.
:04:52. > :04:53.The problem is this - you might start off saying how
:04:54. > :04:56.wonderful immigration is, but your campaign hasn't been
:04:57. > :04:58.Project Fear, it has been Project Hate as far
:04:59. > :05:06.But Remain demanded more detail on their opponents'
:05:07. > :05:10.And I think the Leave campaign are selling people a big con
:05:11. > :05:16.You have never promised to reduce numbers.
:05:17. > :05:22.Have the Leave campaign ever promised to reduce numbers?
:05:23. > :05:25.What we said is you take back control and you can decide.
:05:26. > :05:29.Some have accused the Remain side of lacking passion,
:05:30. > :05:43.And if we vote leave and take back control,
:05:44. > :05:46.I believe that this Thursday can be our country's Independence Day.
:05:47. > :05:53.The campaign teams here are assessing how the debate went
:05:54. > :05:57.for them, but both sides seem to agree that this race is extremely
:05:58. > :06:00.close and this could be one of their last chance to say
:06:01. > :06:08.The Leave side stuck to their tried and tested message that Thursday
:06:09. > :06:12.is all about taking back control, but the Remain side say
:06:13. > :06:14.they were the only ones talking about bread and butter issues
:06:15. > :06:21.Today, there will be one final day of frantic campaigning and then
:06:22. > :06:33.Well, let's talk to our political guru Norman Smith who is at
:06:34. > :06:36.Westminster. So what's happening today then Norman? We're going to
:06:37. > :06:41.have to lie down and recover after last night! What a fer show shoulds,
:06:42. > :06:46.angry and acrimonious occasion, but in a warks it is kind of, I think,
:06:47. > :06:50.emblematic of this referendum and just underlines how divisive it has
:06:51. > :06:55.been, how passionate it has been and how close it has been and how also,
:06:56. > :06:58.you know, at the end of the day, we have heard the arguments, we have
:06:59. > :07:01.heard the presentations and the speeches, at the end of the day,
:07:02. > :07:04.basically, to comes down to two things. We know what they are,
:07:05. > :07:08.immigration and the economy. And that is what it all boils down to.
:07:09. > :07:13.Today, it was interesting listening to Mr Cameron, who was about, you
:07:14. > :07:16.know, early doors doing various interviews, again, trying to defend
:07:17. > :07:20.that pledge to get net migration down to the tens of thousands saying
:07:21. > :07:23.on Friday, if he wins, he will seek to reform free movement within the
:07:24. > :07:28.EU, how will other European countries react? I think they will
:07:29. > :07:35.say to him, "No way Jose." He was saying that he was still regard it
:07:36. > :07:38.as not a realistic ambition, so still trying to defend that pledge
:07:39. > :07:42.which proved so damaging to him. He sought to boil his message down into
:07:43. > :07:49.the one thought about being together. I am deeply patriotic
:07:50. > :07:52.person. I love this country that I have the honour to be the Prime
:07:53. > :07:55.Minister of. I really believe after six years in this job I can see that
:07:56. > :07:59.Britain is stronger, Britain is greater, when we work through these
:08:00. > :08:06.institutions like Nato, like the European Union, to fix the things
:08:07. > :08:09.that we need to fix. If I could sum this-up in one wogt, it would be
:08:10. > :08:12.together. Together we can build a stronger economy, together we can
:08:13. > :08:16.create more jobs and together we can meet challenges whether it is
:08:17. > :08:19.climate change or other problems we face in our world. Britain is a
:08:20. > :08:22.great country, but we've always been a country that makes our voice heard
:08:23. > :08:27.and gets things done by working with others. We see don't quit and walk
:08:28. > :08:32.away from organisations, we make them work for us. Boris Johnson was
:08:33. > :08:38.out and about early doors this morning after last night's debate.
:08:39. > :08:43.He was in Billingsgate fish market where he was asked to kiss a fish!
:08:44. > :08:48.He was pressed on I will gration and what was interesting is he is not
:08:49. > :08:51.setting any figure on the number of migrants he thinks would be
:08:52. > :08:55.acceptable. He is not making any pledge that if we leave the EU we
:08:56. > :09:00.would cut levels of immigration even though I suspect many people who
:09:01. > :09:03.have heard the rhetoric of the Leave campaign thinks that's what they
:09:04. > :09:10.would do. They are not setting a target for reducing net migration.
:09:11. > :09:13.Instead Mr Johnson was extolling the virtues of this Australian-points
:09:14. > :09:16.style system. The ideal position for us is to take back control tomorrow
:09:17. > :09:20.of huge amounts of money, so we can spend it on our priorities, take
:09:21. > :09:22.back control of our immigration system, take back control
:09:23. > :09:26.fundamentally of our democracy. That's what this is all about for
:09:27. > :09:31.me. It is about our chance as a nation, once again, to stand on our
:09:32. > :09:35.own two feet and not rely on Brussels, not be told what to do by
:09:36. > :09:40.unelected, unaccountable officials in Brussels. And to speak up for
:09:41. > :09:44.democracy on behalf of literally hundreds of millions of people
:09:45. > :09:52.around Europe who agree with us. The last thing that struck me Vic
:09:53. > :09:58.watching last night's debate was the extraordinarily feisty performance
:09:59. > :10:02.of Ruth Davidson who voters south of the border haven't seen. It was like
:10:03. > :10:07.a re-run, Nicola Sturgeon when she came down and dominated the platform
:10:08. > :10:11.and Ruth Davidson was like a pocket battleship last night blasting away
:10:12. > :10:15.at Boris Johnson and I will finish with this thought. There was a lot
:10:16. > :10:20.of talk about who might succeed David Cameron and it seems to me, we
:10:21. > :10:27.have seen during this referendum a clutch of formidable women emerge in
:10:28. > :10:32.Tory ranks, not just Ruth Davidson, also Amber Rudd and Andrea Led some,
:10:33. > :10:35.you just wonder if the next Tory leader might not be a man, it might
:10:36. > :10:41.be a woman. Well, who would have thought!
:10:42. > :10:44.We will bring you more on the EU Ryder Cup with our two independent
:10:45. > :10:53.experts. If you have got a question, get in touch in the usual way.
:10:54. > :10:55.Joanna is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary
:10:56. > :10:59.A Scottish woman jailed for drugs smuggling has been released
:11:00. > :11:02.from prison in Peru, and is flying back to the UK.
:11:03. > :11:04.22-year-old Melissa Reid, who is seen here at Lima Airport
:11:05. > :11:07.last night, was arrested in 2013, alongside Michaella McCollum
:11:08. > :11:09.from County Tyrone with ?1.5 million worth of cocaine in their luggage.
:11:10. > :11:13.Miss McCollum was freed in March, but remains on parole in Peru.
:11:14. > :11:16.Vigils will be held in cities around the world to remember
:11:17. > :11:19.The grandfather of Ellie Butler is calling for a review
:11:20. > :11:21.of the circumstances that led up to the six-year-old's death.
:11:22. > :11:23.Yesterday Ellie's father, Ben Butler, was found guilty
:11:24. > :11:26.He inflicted catastrophic head injuries on his daughter
:11:27. > :11:28.at their home in south-west London, in October 2013.
:11:29. > :11:31.She died less than a year after she was returned
:11:32. > :11:36.to her parents care following a custody battle.
:11:37. > :11:41.Ellie's grandfather, Neil Gray, who looked after her for five years,
:11:42. > :11:43.will give his first TV interview since the verdict to Victoria
:11:44. > :11:49.Sir Cliff Richard has called for a change to the law so that
:11:50. > :11:52.people accused of sexual offences have their identity protected
:11:53. > :11:59.Last week prosecutors said he would face no charges over
:12:00. > :12:02.historical allegations of sexual abuse.
:12:03. > :12:04.But the singer told ITV's Good Morning Britain programme
:12:05. > :12:10.that he feels his reputation has been tarnished by the accusations.
:12:11. > :12:12.Festival-goers are being urged "not to set off" for Glastonbury due

:12:58. > :12:59.the latest BBC News. Do get in touch with us
:13:00. > :13:12.throughout the morning. If you have got a question for one
:13:13. > :13:15.of our impartial experts, or if you haven't made up your mind in
:13:16. > :13:24.tomorrow's EU referendum vote, ask your question and maybe it will
:13:25. > :13:30.help. If you text, it will be charged at
:13:31. > :13:34.the standard network. Only one place for us to start and
:13:35. > :13:39.that's with the achements of Northern Ireland. Despite losing 1-0
:13:40. > :13:43.to Germany, they have reached the knock-out stages of Euro 2016.
:13:44. > :13:52.They've made it through as one of the best third placed teams. Well,
:13:53. > :13:58.let's speak to Katie Gornell now. Katie really do have their
:13:59. > :14:02.goalkeeper to thank, don't they? Well, they certainly do, Sally. This
:14:03. > :14:07.was a huge game for Northern Ireland here last night and they knew going
:14:08. > :14:10.into it that a draw would see them through to the last 16, but a narrow
:14:11. > :14:13.defeat and their hopes would still be alive. It was going to be a huge
:14:14. > :14:17.ask against the world champions and it looked like the task was going to
:14:18. > :14:22.get harder when Gomes scored for Germany after half an hour. At that
:14:23. > :14:26.stage, the pressure on the Northern Irish defence was relentless. What
:14:27. > :14:29.the Germans didn't count was on was Michael McGovern having the game of
:14:30. > :14:34.his life in the Northern Irish goal. He pulled off a string of fantastic
:14:35. > :14:39.saves to keep the scoreline down, but for him, the score could have
:14:40. > :14:43.been 6, 7, that's no exaggeration and that narrow defeat meant that
:14:44. > :14:48.Northern Ireland had a good goal difference that saw them through in
:14:49. > :14:52.the end to the last 16, after the result against Turkey last night.
:14:53. > :14:56.Now, Michael O'Neill, speaking after the game, but before he knew his
:14:57. > :14:59.side progressed, he was full of praise for Michael McGovern, of
:15:00. > :15:03.course, but he said what an achievement it would be to get out
:15:04. > :15:06.of that group. When you see the quality of the group we're in,
:15:07. > :15:10.Ukraine, Poland and Germany and for us to come out of that group was an
:15:11. > :15:15.immense achievement. A great group of players. They deserve the
:15:16. > :15:18.opportunity to go to round 16. I fear who we may play, but that's
:15:19. > :15:21.what this experience is about. We are taking lads here who play their
:15:22. > :15:24.club football in the Football League and are coming up here and playing
:15:25. > :15:26.against the best players in the world. So as I say, we want the
:15:27. > :15:39.experience to Could it actually be an all home
:15:40. > :15:44.nations are fair in the last 16? Yes, that is a possibility. They
:15:45. > :15:51.will either play Wales in Paris, Northern Ireland, on Saturday, they
:15:52. > :15:55.could play France in Lyon. We will know for certain after tonight bus
:15:56. > :15:59.group games how the permutations worked out. When Mark -- when
:16:00. > :16:04.Michael O'Neill was asked about it, he said he would prefer to play
:16:05. > :16:08.Wales. He feels he has got a better chance against Chris Coleman's side.
:16:09. > :16:12.He is also may be thinking about the fact that Wales are in a slightly
:16:13. > :16:17.easier side of the draw. Maybe he has got one eye on the
:16:18. > :16:23.quarterfinals. With their motto being Dare to dream, you never know.
:16:24. > :16:27.Great stuff. Tonight it is the return -- turn of the Republic of
:16:28. > :16:31.Ireland. They need a win to go through. It is a big ask. Italy are
:16:32. > :16:33.set to rest many other players. Maybe there is a chance for the
:16:34. > :16:37.Republic as well. So, there's just one day left
:16:38. > :16:39.until the UK decides whether to leave or remain
:16:40. > :16:42.in the European Union. One day left of a campaign
:16:43. > :16:45.which has gone on and on and on and on and on -
:16:46. > :16:50.and quite possibly produced more hot air and Punch and Judy
:16:51. > :17:03.politics than anything else. Certainly more acrimonious than the
:17:04. > :17:04.Scottish Independence Referendum, in my experience.
:17:05. > :17:06.Here's some highlights - or perhaps lowlights.
:17:07. > :17:08.It lasts a couple of minutes and features flashing and strobing
:17:09. > :17:25.I will go to Parliament and propose that the British people decide our
:17:26. > :17:34.future in Europe. Through an inn, in-out referendum on Thursday, the
:17:35. > :17:36.23rd of June. The home you live in, your weekly
:17:37. > :17:41.shop, the monthly bills, these things are all at risk. Why are we
:17:42. > :17:46.spending ?10 billion a year net to Brussels, some of which is spent on
:17:47. > :17:52.Spanish bull-fighting? The real sure tonight is not in Brussels but in
:17:53. > :18:06.Westminster. -- show. What matters is... All of which is... Leave.
:18:07. > :18:11.Remain. After a great deal of heartache, I will be abdicating fold
:18:12. > :18:14.leave. If people vote to leave on the basis of immigration, I'm afraid
:18:15. > :18:23.they will find there will be in the same situation. The governor has
:18:24. > :18:27.strayed into a simple personal prediction. The people who want to
:18:28. > :18:31.drag the United Kingdom out of the European Union are now trying to
:18:32. > :18:38.drag the Queen in. Napoleon and Hitler were all trying to create a
:18:39. > :18:44.United States of Europe. I play with a straight bat. We're losing our
:18:45. > :18:50.identity and we're glad to get swallowed up. I am very positive on
:18:51. > :18:56.the EU. UK will be at the back of the queue. The American president is
:18:57. > :19:02.saying rubbish. I am angry at the way the British people are being
:19:03. > :19:10.misled. Not only have we get depressed wages for British
:19:11. > :19:16.people... Scare stories. You are no fishermen's friend! You
:19:17. > :19:20.are on the European Parliament Fishing committee and you attended
:19:21. > :19:26.one out of 43 meetings. You are a fraud, Nigel. What Mr Geldof did was
:19:27. > :19:28.show his absolute contempt for the men and women who have come here

:20:03. > :20:25.OK. And yet despite -

:22:36. > :22:39.from his butcher's shop in London, where he may have two interrupt our
:22:40. > :22:50.conversation to serve a customer or two. Good morning. Hello. My
:22:51. > :22:58.difficult situation is, I am of Polish descent by self. My
:22:59. > :23:05.grandfather came here after the war. I do feel that the eastern Europeans
:23:06. > :23:09.are often seen as just here to get as much as they can off the welfare
:23:10. > :23:15.state, as much as they can from the government, when from my experience
:23:16. > :23:20.that is certainly not true. Most people come here because of the
:23:21. > :23:26.reputation this country has. A very caring nation. A very warm nation. A
:23:27. > :23:33.country with much empathy. So my difficult situation is, I feel in my
:23:34. > :23:40.heart that I should vote to stay in. But when I see how many people
:23:41. > :23:45.here... It is bit like Wembley Stadium, it can take 90,000. If you
:23:46. > :23:50.have 120,000 people already in the stadium, I feel the pressure on all
:23:51. > :23:56.of the services is very high. And whether they can cope with what is
:23:57. > :24:00.happening. If the government could assure us that there are plans and
:24:01. > :24:05.steps to actually build more schools, more hospitals, more old
:24:06. > :24:10.people's homes, then I think we would all be a lot happier and could
:24:11. > :24:16.make our decision easier. Particularly if they told us where
:24:17. > :24:20.the money is coming from. That is a question for the comment of the day.
:24:21. > :24:22.In terms of EU referendum, your question is about net migration and
:24:23. > :24:32.what it would be if we remain relief? Yes it is. What would happen
:24:33. > :24:35.in the future regarding our infrastructure, the roads, the
:24:36. > :24:43.railways, the services, if immigration continues as it has done
:24:44. > :24:53.over the next ten years? Will we be able to cope? That is my concern.
:24:54. > :24:59.Let's hear what Ayn Rand and will have to say. What happens to net
:25:00. > :25:04.migration in the UK up to 2030 to Two things to say. You are quite
:25:05. > :25:11.right on the economics. People from Europe who come here contributed to
:25:12. > :25:16.our economy more than they take out. What happens when we stay? We have
:25:17. > :25:19.no obvious control over the number of people from other European member
:25:20. > :25:24.states who come here to work. The majority of migrants from non-EU
:25:25. > :25:27.member states now. If we leave, we have the power to control migration
:25:28. > :25:31.from Europe and the rest of the world. Whether a government would
:25:32. > :25:36.want to, would depend on the calculation of how good they think
:25:37. > :25:38.migration is for our economy. It is difficult to tell. There is clear
:25:39. > :25:48.evidence that migration does benefit the economy. The evidence is that
:25:49. > :25:52.there is possibly a small economic benefit to immigration overall, and
:25:53. > :25:56.that EU immigrants are probably better for our public finances than
:25:57. > :26:00.non-EU immigrants. But we know they are affecting things like schools
:26:01. > :26:05.more than things like nursing homes, because they tend to be younger.
:26:06. > :26:08.That is why they affect schools more than hospitals. We also know that we
:26:09. > :26:12.are not building of houses for everyone who needs a house already.
:26:13. > :26:20.That is to do with the government of the day. Half of population changes
:26:21. > :26:33.driven by immigration. Roughly half of immigration is coming from the
:26:34. > :26:38.EU. It is a factor. OK. Mick, I don't know how far that goes to
:26:39. > :26:44.helping you? I think it does go some way. It is more or less what we have
:26:45. > :26:52.been hearing. I just think if the figures were clearer as to where the
:26:53. > :26:57.money is going to come from, if the gum and decided, we will not
:26:58. > :27:02.continue plans with HS2, the money will come from there, that would
:27:03. > :27:10.really help. I would like, finally, just to say that I am so proud of
:27:11. > :27:16.our nation and the way that we have dealt in the past with all of the
:27:17. > :27:20.conflicts and everything else. I just feel that we are very lucky to
:27:21. > :27:25.live in a country where everybody else would like to come and live. It
:27:26. > :27:29.is a great credit to the British people, which I am very proud to be
:27:30. > :27:34.one. There is no other country, as far as I am aware, with the word
:27:35. > :27:42.great in front of it. You do not have great Belgian, great Germany or
:27:43. > :27:46.great America. I hope on Saturday, or probably Friday, I hope on
:27:47. > :27:53.Saturday the nation gets back together as we have done before and
:27:54. > :27:58.we work to join and be as harmonious as we have been in the past. Mick,
:27:59. > :28:04.that is quite a moving and wise sentiment. I thank you for it. Let
:28:05. > :28:10.me bring in Naomi and Angelo. Naomi, what is your question? I was just
:28:11. > :28:18.wondering how leaving or staying in the EU might affect the NHS, really?
:28:19. > :28:22.The short answer is there is no direct effect on the NHS. We run the
:28:23. > :28:29.NHS. What they have expressed concerns about is if leaving the EU
:28:30. > :28:32.is bad for the UK economy, that probably means there will be less
:28:33. > :28:37.money for the Gottman is to spend overall. That probably means there
:28:38. > :28:42.will be less money for the NHS. That is not a given. We had a recession
:28:43. > :28:45.in 2008. There was less money for the government to spend and they
:28:46. > :28:50.choose to continue spending it on the NHS. That means more cuts
:28:51. > :28:56.elsewhere to make that possible. That is the big concern with the
:28:57. > :29:00.NHS. The EU does not run the NHS. It has some role in regulating medicals
:29:01. > :29:05.and things like that, clinical trials, but it does not run the NHS.
:29:06. > :29:11.Those decisions will still be made in London and Scotland etc. Why is
:29:12. > :29:15.that question key for you? I think the NHS is so important to our
:29:16. > :29:20.country. It brings people together. It looks after people who really
:29:21. > :29:25.need it. I think it is really important that remains free at the
:29:26. > :29:29.point of access. And that everybody who needs health care can get it. I
:29:30. > :29:36.wonder if the response to your question helps you at all in
:29:37. > :29:39.reaching a decision? I think you described reassuring in that whether
:29:40. > :29:42.we leave or stay, hopefully the government will continue to fund the
:29:43. > :29:48.NHS. Let's bring in Angelo. How are you?
:29:49. > :29:53.Hello. Thank you for having me and thank you for the opportunity. What
:29:54. > :29:59.do you do for a living? I run a sports company. We work with
:30:00. > :30:04.children in schools and nurseries. We provide a wide range of different
:30:05. > :30:12.sports services. My question is really about business. If we vote
:30:13. > :30:15.Leave, how is it going to affect the business? It is hard and challenging
:30:16. > :30:20.two to the facts to be scaremongering from both sides. How
:30:21. > :30:21.is it going to affect business to how will it affect taxes? Will
:30:22. > :30:32.things increase in price? Well, part of it will depend what
:30:33. > :30:35.sort of business you are. If you are a business that didn't trade
:30:36. > :30:40.externally or doesn't export or import, isn't reliant on firms that
:30:41. > :30:44.import or export, it may not affect you very much indeed. A lot of
:30:45. > :30:47.exporters like Dyson are in favour because they think if the pound
:30:48. > :30:51.falls, it will be good for them. They can export more because the
:30:52. > :30:53.pound will be weaker. If you are a company that trades with the
:30:54. > :30:56.European market on the other hand, the answer is partly I don't know
:30:57. > :30:59.because it depends on the deal we get, but it might become hard tore
:31:00. > :31:04.trade with the European market, so it is different for different
:31:05. > :31:08.businesses I am afraid. Will? About nine out of ten businesses don't
:31:09. > :31:12.export to the EU. But some big businesses do and it is a very
:31:13. > :31:15.important market for quite a number of businesses. There are two
:31:16. > :31:20.fundamental things that will affect every business. One is if we have an
:31:21. > :31:25.economic slowdown as a lot of people predict even on both sides in the
:31:26. > :31:27.short run, an economic slow down and in the longer run it gets more
:31:28. > :31:31.uncertain. Would that be an opportunity for you? Some businesses
:31:32. > :31:34.would think it would be, but a lot of businesses would be nervous about
:31:35. > :31:36.that. The other is the great big decision that happens after the
:31:37. > :31:41.referendum. If we vote to leave. We have to decide do we stay in the
:31:42. > :31:44.single market or not? If we stay in the single market we will probably
:31:45. > :31:49.still have access to sell into the EU and we will probably still accept
:31:50. > :31:52.freedom of movement for us into the EU and for EU citizens into the UK
:31:53. > :31:57.as well. If we leave the single market then all of those I shall
:31:58. > :32:01.easterned who comes here and who can sell here and who can sell to the
:32:02. > :32:06.rest of the EU come up for grabs in the negotiations. What are you going
:32:07. > :32:08.to do between now and tomorrow to actually reach your decision or can
:32:09. > :32:13.you imagine walking into the polling station and just making up your mind
:32:14. > :32:18.on-the-spot? You know what I think a lot of people are going to do that
:32:19. > :32:23.to be honest. And like I say, it is really hard to see the facts through
:32:24. > :32:30.scaremongering from both sides. To be honest I am leaning more towards
:32:31. > :32:35.remain. But you know, we've got a B52 time so, you know, we could be
:32:36. > :32:40.swayed. Naomi, what about you, between now
:32:41. > :32:43.and tomorrow, Naomi, can you envisage walking in there and just
:32:44. > :32:47.making up your mind on-the-spot? Yes, to be honest, I think I
:32:48. > :32:50.probably will end up making my mind up when I get there. Will you go
:32:51. > :32:53.with your gut at the time that you happen to walk into the polling
:32:54. > :33:00.station? I think I'm going to kind of read up a little bit tonight on
:33:01. > :33:03.both sides and I don't know, flip a coin and while it is in the air, you
:33:04. > :33:09.work out which one it is that you want! Oh my gosh! We are talking
:33:10. > :33:14.about flipping a coin, wow, to make a decision that's so significant. If
:33:15. > :33:18.you flip it while it is in the air, you know with your gut which side it
:33:19. > :33:22.is that you want it to land on. Maybe I'll try that tonight. All
:33:23. > :33:27.right. I've got some more questions here from people who are sending
:33:28. > :33:30.them in from across the UK. Darrel e-mailed, "Is the possibility of a
:33:31. > :33:34.second Scottish independence referendum real in the case of a
:33:35. > :33:38.vote to Leave or is it simply an exaggeration?" Well, I think, I
:33:39. > :33:42.would say two things on that. One, it is quite likely that the country
:33:43. > :33:45.will be very divided over the vote. So you can see a situation where we
:33:46. > :33:49.vote to leave, but Scotland has voted strongly to stay. And that's
:33:50. > :33:52.where this comes from, the notion that the Scots have been outvoted by
:33:53. > :33:55.the English. The SNP, I think, will only hold a referendum if they're
:33:56. > :33:58.sure they're going to win it. They don't want to hold a second
:33:59. > :34:02.referendum and lose it. It will depend partly on the polls. I think
:34:03. > :34:04.if the polls start to show a significant lead for the Scottish
:34:05. > :34:11.independence position, then they might be tempted to ask for a second
:34:12. > :34:16.referendum, yes. OK. This tweet from Sarah, "Please explain the free
:34:17. > :34:25.trade zone. The one that already exists from Iceland to the Russian
:34:26. > :34:30.border." OK. You took a really deep breath there, Will. Why? It gets
:34:31. > :34:37.complicated. Try and communicate in plain English! So we've got the EU.
:34:38. > :34:41.28 member states. Every EU country has free movement between all of
:34:42. > :34:46.them, free trade, free movement of goods so on and so forth and then we
:34:47. > :34:50.have got other countries which are hangers on, countries like Norway.
:34:51. > :34:53.Norway is a member of the European Economic Area. It has signed up to
:34:54. > :34:59.free movement. It is signed up to a lot, but not all of the EU law, and
:35:00. > :35:04.it gets a lot less say into what becomes EU law than EU countries do.
:35:05. > :35:08.It pays some money into the rest of the European Union. Then we have got
:35:09. > :35:12.Switzerland which is one stage further removed and it accepts some
:35:13. > :35:16.EU law, but on a different basis. It pays some money on a different basis
:35:17. > :35:21.and it accepts freedom of movement. Then we have got Turkey where there
:35:22. > :35:24.is a Customs agreement and there has been for many years. You have the EU
:35:25. > :35:27.as the core and then you have a whole set of agreements going out
:35:28. > :35:33.there of different levels of integration. So it is fair to say
:35:34. > :35:38.there is free trade going beyond the EU itself, it is also fair to say
:35:39. > :35:42.that there are quid pro quos of that free trade in every case. This on
:35:43. > :35:46.whatsapp from someone who doesn't leave their name, "I have just
:35:47. > :35:50.renewed our family's ten year passports. Will we need to get new
:35:51. > :35:58.passports if we vote to leave?" No. There is no such thing as an EU
:35:59. > :36:05.passport. You won't have to. OK. Right, I'm going to ask you finally
:36:06. > :36:10.to put your money where your mouth is and tell me what will happen. If
:36:11. > :36:16.you don't mind, or will it affect your impartiality. We don't do
:36:17. > :36:23.political punditry. I'm asking you for your opinion? I think it will be
:36:24. > :36:26.very close. OK, that's the politician's answer despite you
:36:27. > :36:30.being an academic. Listen, good luck. I really appreciate your time
:36:31. > :36:34.this morning. Thank you. Cheers, thank you very much.

:38:54. > :38:57.It is a beautiful day here in Paris as you can probably see, the sun is
:38:58. > :39:01.shining in the centre of the city, but it is even more special if you
:39:02. > :39:05.are a Northern Ireland fan. Let's just remind ourselves of scenes from

:39:20. > :39:25.gamement 1-0 was the final score there. Sparking huge scenes of
:39:26. > :39:34.celebration in the ground. England have a rest day today. Lots
:39:35. > :39:39.of the papers this morning talking about unrest within the England

:40:07. > :40:08.That's all the sports news from Paris. Back to you. Thank you very
:40:09. > :40:12.much, Sally. The head injuries sustained
:40:13. > :40:14.by six-year-Ellie Butler were equivalent to those sustained
:40:15. > :40:17.in a high-speed car accident. Except those head injuries
:40:18. > :40:21.were inflicted her own father, Ben Butler, who was jailed
:40:22. > :40:23.for a minimum of 23 years yesterday Butler was a violent and domineering
:40:24. > :40:37.man who abused and controlled both his partner, Jennifer Gray
:40:38. > :40:40.as well as their daughter. He'd already been found guilty
:40:41. > :40:42.of shaking his daughter But that conviction was quashed
:40:43. > :40:45.and a judge handed care of the little girl back
:40:46. > :40:48.to both Butler and Gray. At the time, Ellie's grandfather
:40:49. > :40:50.warned the judge who made that decision would "have
:40:51. > :40:53.blood on her hands". We'll speak to him live in his first
:40:54. > :40:56.TV interview in a moment. First, this is the case against Ben
:40:57. > :41:08.Butler. This is the family life that Ben
:41:09. > :41:13.Butler fought for. Go on, Ellie. And the life he destroyed in a fit of
:41:14. > :41:17.rage. Six-year-old Ellie was living with a man on a short fuse as an
:41:18. > :41:26.accidentally recorded phone call demonstrated. (BLEEP) off. There
:41:27. > :41:32.were several aggressive text messages which the court heard was a
:41:33. > :41:37.torrent of verbal abuse Butler unleashed on his partner. Butler
:41:38. > :41:42.texted, "I can't cope anymore. Woke up. I am in a rage already. Been in
:41:43. > :41:48.place so many times, my hands are shaking. One more mistake, I'm going
:41:49. > :41:53.to lose it." He texted, "Stay out of my way or you will be hurt. Only
:41:54. > :41:58.drunk I can stand you and your ways. Now go die." Days before Ellie's
:41:59. > :42:03.death, Gray, wrote this, "If you weren't here, I would die. Just so
:42:04. > :42:08.you know, that is truth through and through." Video also shows Ellie
:42:09. > :42:13.with a black eye which Butler claimed was from a fall. Weeks later
:42:14. > :42:16.in October 2013, he battered Ellie to death calling her mother moments
:42:17. > :42:20.later. Jennie Gray worked opposite the old
:42:21. > :42:25.baby, yards from the courtroom where the case has been heard. C TV
:42:26. > :42:28.footage shows her rushing home to Sutton where they tried to stage
:42:29. > :42:33.things to look like an accident. Before sending their younger child
:42:34. > :42:37.to find Ellie and finally calling 999. My daughter is not breathing
:42:38. > :42:47.properly. Jennie Gray is shouting with Ben Butler in the background.
:42:48. > :42:52.She is laying there. OK, OK, darling I'm helping you now. It is a 15
:42:53. > :42:56.minute call in which Jennie Gray is instructed on how to resuscitate
:42:57. > :43:06.Ellie. 30 times you need to pump the chest. Detectives soon worked out
:43:07. > :43:10.Ellie had been dead for sometime. When you realise that at the time
:43:11. > :43:16.the ambulance was called, it is give or take two hours after she first
:43:17. > :43:21.knew, that is a is performance that must have been very difficult.
:43:22. > :43:26.The couple had a history. In 2007 Ben Butler was convicted of shaking
:43:27. > :43:30.six-week old Ellie. That was quashed on a legal technicality and Ellie
:43:31. > :43:34.eventually returned to their care. The couple even went on television
:43:35. > :43:38.to complain of their injustice. If anything, he was trying to be, you
:43:39. > :43:41.know, the perfect dad, he was trying to get everything fine. So you
:43:42. > :43:46.wouldn't have had any warning signs or anything that this man could have
:43:47. > :43:52.the potential to be harmful to your baby? No, none at all. I heard no
:43:53. > :44:00.smoke without fire from certain people. It took to pretty much last
:44:01. > :44:05.month to clear my name completely. Jennie had you ever any doubts about
:44:06. > :44:10.Ben? None, I had seen him with her as a baby. I seen, he wanted to see
:44:11. > :44:14.her every day from the minute she was born and he came to see her,
:44:15. > :44:18.even for a minute, even for ten minutes at the door every day just
:44:19. > :44:23.to give her a kiss. Sir Mark was one of the Appeal Court judges who
:44:24. > :44:27.quashed Ben Butler's 2007 criminal conviction on a legal technicality.
:44:28. > :44:31.He can't talk about that directly, but it was the Family Court that
:44:32. > :44:39.later allowed Ellie home. He has told the BBC that judges there faced
:44:40. > :44:44.the most complex of decisions. They decided in a highly emotive context
:44:45. > :44:47.and decided in a situation where a judge has to make a decision one way
:44:48. > :44:51.or the other. If you get the decision right, fine. If you get it
:44:52. > :44:59.wrong, either way there are serious consequences. But in the Family
:45:00. > :45:03.Court, Mrs Justice Hogg went as far to exonerate Ben Butler. Until then
:45:04. > :45:07.her maternal grandfather looked after her. The court ordered that
:45:08. > :45:10.all files on the family held by the police, health, schools and social
:45:11. > :45:14.workers should clearly say that Ben Butler had been exonerated and the
:45:15. > :45:16.couple, or their solicitor could serve that order on any profession
:45:17. > :45:26.they At Elie's school they found she was
:45:27. > :45:32.often absent. The headteacher said normally there would have involved
:45:33. > :45:36.social workers. There was no local authority involvement because of the
:45:37. > :45:41.family court judgment. All we could do was treat the issue as an
:45:42. > :45:47.attendance issue. The official review into the case concludes the
:45:48. > :45:51.court ruling... Making it difficult for others to protect a little girl
:45:52. > :45:52.described by her teachers as gentle and thoughtful.
:45:53. > :45:54.We can talk now exclusively to Ellie Butler's granddad, Neal Gray,
:45:55. > :46:11.Good morning. Good morning. How do you react to the sentence handed
:46:12. > :46:14.down to Butler yesterday? I am happy they gave him a severe sentence but
:46:15. > :46:18.in my opinion the sentence should have been more severe. He should
:46:19. > :46:26.have had at least 40 years with no remission. And the partner should
:46:27. > :46:30.have had at least 20 years. I think they are both culprits, they caused
:46:31. > :46:35.the death of Elie and they covered it up. It is interesting you say,
:46:36. > :46:42.and so should the partner. That is your daughter. That was my daughter.
:46:43. > :46:48.I have disowned her. You don't think one of your own offspring could be
:46:49. > :47:02.possibly involved in a terrible tragic crime. Unfortunately she was.
:47:03. > :47:11.Do except she was under his control? That he was domineering, abusive,
:47:12. > :47:16.controlling? I understand he was violent and controlling but I thinks
:47:17. > :47:23.-- think she is also capable of being the same with him. I would say
:47:24. > :47:29.it is 50-50. You and your wife, Linda, cared for and nurtured Ellie
:47:30. > :47:41.for five sixths years. Yes. What was she like? Beautiful. Excuse me.
:47:42. > :47:50.Bubbly. A gorgeous little girl. Very brainy. Intelligent. And very
:47:51. > :48:01.loving. She was very clever. She was polite. She liked playing games. She
:48:02. > :48:07.had lots of friends at school. And the story is what Butler and her
:48:08. > :48:10.saying that she was rude and lazy are complete and holds -- order
:48:11. > :48:15.false lies. She was a gorgeous little girl. It is a great
:48:16. > :48:21.privilege, excuse me, to have been a grandparent. And you looked after
:48:22. > :48:27.her, you and Linda looked after her like she was your own daughter. Yes.
:48:28. > :48:33.The reason you had her in your care was because Butler had a conviction
:48:34. > :48:38.for assaulting her, for shaking her when she was six weeks old, which
:48:39. > :48:43.was later quashed, as we know. That is why you were caring for her. Yes.
:48:44. > :48:47.You fought to continue having custody of her when he and her
:48:48. > :48:56.daughter were trying to get custody back, when his conviction was
:48:57. > :49:02.quashed. Yes. From 2007 to 2012, were in court virtually every year
:49:03. > :49:05.at periods of time trying to keep hold of Ellie. Ellie did not want to
:49:06. > :49:13.go back to her parents. Her birth parents. Because she did not know
:49:14. > :49:18.them. At the times they should have got to know Ellie, at the family
:49:19. > :49:25.centre in Sutton, for two and a half years they never turned up to see
:49:26. > :49:30.her. And Butler was very violent. You knew that, did you? You knew
:49:31. > :49:34.what he was like? Yes. He was threatening to my wife and myself
:49:35. > :49:41.and other members of my family. Jenny used to be aggressive and
:49:42. > :49:44.threatening myself and my wife. If we were going to court for something
:49:45. > :49:49.was supposed to have been set, she would talk to my wife and say, if
:49:50. > :49:55.you've got anything to say to your solicitor, you run it through me and
:49:56. > :49:58.Ben before you talk to your solicitor, otherwise you will be
:49:59. > :50:03.looking over your shoulder for the rest of your lives. There were
:50:04. > :50:08.threatening you and trying to control you? Yes. When the judge
:50:09. > :50:14.handed custody back to Butler and your daughter, Jenny Gray, you said
:50:15. > :50:21.you could upload blood on your hands. Why did you say that? I had a
:50:22. > :50:32.premonition that Ellie would not be safe. Mrs Justice Hogg made a big
:50:33. > :50:36.mistake. I don't think she followed proper procedure of the law. She did
:50:37. > :50:42.not give the proper directions for the social workers, who were
:50:43. > :50:46.independent business people. They were independent, work for
:50:47. > :50:53.themselves social workers. Private social workers. They had not read
:50:54. > :50:59.any of the notes. They did not know any history. We have attempted to
:51:00. > :51:03.get a statement from Mrs Justice Hogg. We have not been able to yet.
:51:04. > :51:08.At the time she said Ben Butler was the victim of a miscarriage of
:51:09. > :51:14.justice. She exonerated him. She said he had not assaulted Ellie as a
:51:15. > :51:18.six-week old. Yes, she said that. But I don't think she took any
:51:19. > :51:24.notice of the medical evidence for the social workers, or the local
:51:25. > :51:30.authority children's department. They all knew that Ellie had been
:51:31. > :51:36.assaulted. She also issued this unpublished, onto yesterday, order,
:51:37. > :51:39.this unpublished order that all professional, educational, medical
:51:40. > :51:44.or social care bodies holding any files relating to Ali, must make a
:51:45. > :51:48.prominent reference to the fact that Ben Butler had been exonerated. She
:51:49. > :51:52.also went further than the appeal Court ruling, which had quashed his
:51:53. > :51:58.conviction. She said, look, he is exonerated. That meant it was very
:51:59. > :52:00.hard for you, for the headteacher, for the local authority social
:52:01. > :52:07.workers to try to intervene if you had wanted to? Yes, I did not know
:52:08. > :52:11.that exist until yesterday. How did you react when you found that there
:52:12. > :52:14.was that order? I think it is terrible. I think the laws should be
:52:15. > :52:23.radically changed. And judges should be made accountable either through a
:52:24. > :52:27.proper office -- procedure Ore Home Secretary. After all, they are human
:52:28. > :52:33.beings and they are not above the law. And wonder what you thought
:52:34. > :52:38.when you saw Ben Butler and your daughter on TV, as we saw in that
:52:39. > :52:42.clip, protesting their innocence, saying there had been a victim of a
:52:43. > :52:50.miscarriage of justice? I thought it was a complete and utter joke. After
:52:51. > :52:55.that clip was shown, he got hold of a chap called Max Clifford, a PR
:52:56. > :52:58.guru, who is now also inside. I think their idea was to milk the
:52:59. > :53:10.system for as much money as they could possibly get. It is an utter
:53:11. > :53:19.farce. We know what Butler did on that day that Ellie died. He
:53:20. > :53:22.inflicted awful, awful injuries. In a fit of rage, apparently. And then
:53:23. > :53:29.summoned your daughter home from work to help Ukhov -- her cover
:53:30. > :53:32.things up. Do you believe that your daughter genuinely believed Ellie
:53:33. > :53:40.had died in an accident, which is what his story was? Do I believe
:53:41. > :53:44.that Jenny believes? Yes. I don't believe she did believe she died in
:53:45. > :53:50.an accident. I think she knew what had happened. She knew what he was
:53:51. > :53:56.capable of. Because she had inflicted injuries herself several
:53:57. > :54:02.times through the loss of other children. Why would she cover up the
:54:03. > :54:09.murder of her daughter? I don't know. That is a question I cannot
:54:10. > :54:18.answer. I often sold search myself, and my wife soul searchers, asking
:54:19. > :54:25.why. When you have a child, your number one priority is always the
:54:26. > :54:29.child. Anybody. But it is a father, a mother, grandfather, grandmother,
:54:30. > :54:33.the child is the most important thing in this world, they are
:54:34. > :54:39.precious. It is a privilege to have a child could my eyes. If you have a
:54:40. > :54:44.child, you have got to look after that child completely and utterly.
:54:45. > :54:52.They are the priority of your life. Without it, well, many nasty things
:54:53. > :54:57.could happen, which have happened in the past years. I believe the social
:54:58. > :55:02.services, laws regarding them, have got to be brought into the 21st
:55:03. > :55:05.century. I also believe that the family courts system, as it is
:55:06. > :55:13.today, has got to be changed radically. Brought into the 21st
:55:14. > :55:19.century. You mean less secrecy? Less secrecy, yes. They have opened up a
:55:20. > :55:26.little bit. Open it completely. But on particular cases, keep the
:55:27. > :55:29.child's name anonymous, if that has got to be. The child has got to be
:55:30. > :55:35.protected. That is the most important thing. I don't think the
:55:36. > :55:44.establishment have learned, we have had Baby P, we have had ten murders
:55:45. > :55:48.in the last ten years of children, horrifically gone wrong, so many
:55:49. > :55:52.inadequacies with social services are a family courts. Somebody has
:55:53. > :55:59.got to stand up and make sure that no other child gets hurt like my
:56:00. > :56:07.granddaughter got hurt. And I think that I will make it my goal for the
:56:08. > :56:10.rest of my life to fight for any child to be saved. No child deserves
:56:11. > :56:15.to go through what Ellie went through, or any of the other
:56:16. > :56:20.children that have died. With July to see a public enquiry? Yes I
:56:21. > :56:25.would. Very much. -- would you like to see. Your wife, Linda, died in
:56:26. > :56:31.the first day of the trial. She has not been here to see justice, to see
:56:32. > :56:37.the man punished, to see your daughter punished. And I understand
:56:38. > :56:43.Jenny Gray didn't know that your wife had died, is that right, until
:56:44. > :56:47.yesterday? That is right. My wife, in the last few days, she asked to
:56:48. > :56:56.see the priest at the hospital, the Marsden in Sutton. She asked to
:56:57. > :57:02.speak to a policeman. A very kind police liaison officer. She stated
:57:03. > :57:07.she did not want Jenny to know that she had cancer. And she didn't want
:57:08. > :57:16.to know that she had died. That was her wish, because she said she
:57:17. > :57:19.doesn't deserve to know. We are showing our audiences picture of
:57:20. > :57:24.Linda now. She was clear she did not want her daughter to know? Al are
:57:25. > :57:32.no. She could never forgive her for what he had done to Ali. -- Ellie.
:57:33. > :57:37.If it is all right with you, I want to play a little bit of the 999 call
:57:38. > :57:43.played in court. This is the call that Jenny Gray and Butler made to
:57:44. > :57:44.the emergency services when they were pretending to try to save
:57:45. > :57:58.Ellie's life. Listen to me now, my daughter is not
:57:59. > :58:08.breathing properly. You need to calm down and stop shouting. I cannot
:58:09. > :58:12.hear you. What has happened? I need you to stop shouting because I
:58:13. > :58:21.cannot hear you. Tell me what to do, please! I don't know what is
:58:22. > :58:25.happening, my love. Brilliant. Keep doing that. You are doing a really
:58:26. > :58:30.good job. What do you think of that? I think
:58:31. > :58:38.it was all states. Like a play on a stage. -- all staged. All acted out.
:58:39. > :58:45.You have to be a particular kind of person to be able to act that out,
:58:46. > :58:48.haven't you? Yes, terrible. The judge described Ben Butler as self
:58:49. > :58:55.absorbed, ill tempered, domineering, a man who regarded his child and
:58:56. > :58:59.partner as trophies, having no role other than to fit in with his
:59:00. > :59:04.infantile and sentimentalised view of family life, with him as the
:59:05. > :59:15.patriarch whose every whim had to be catered for. How would you describe
:59:16. > :59:19.Ben Butler? Evil. Pure evil. He can... Just one nasty, horrible
:59:20. > :59:27.person, who is now taken off the streets. And hopefully made an
:59:28. > :59:34.example of. And maybe the police can catch other people who do this kind
:59:35. > :59:37.of thing. I know, finally, you do want to thank the police and all the
:59:38. > :59:49.people who have helped you? Yes. Excuse me. I would like to thank the
:59:50. > :59:55.homicide team who, through this three years, have supported my wife,
:59:56. > :00:03.my family at every stage of their commitment to this order. And I'm
:00:04. > :00:09.very grateful for their help and devotion of duty for what they have
:00:10. > :00:14.done. And most of all, they kept my family and I completely in touch at
:00:15. > :00:19.every stage where they could. I would also like to thank the Victim
:00:20. > :00:25.Support people for their support for my wife, myself, my family. Without
:00:26. > :00:29.either of them, I don't know if I would be here today.
:00:30. > :00:35.We have got some lovely messages from people listening to. Harry
:00:36. > :00:43.Tweets this. This is a moving tribute to Ali. This tweet from
:00:44. > :00:48.Jane, this is devastating. Another says, oh my goodness, it is so sad
:00:49. > :00:52.to hear Ellie Butler's grandfather. And John says, a public enquiry is a
:00:53. > :00:57.good idea and I'm ready sorry for your loss. I'm very grateful for
:00:58. > :01:08.everybody's support. Also my community where I live in
:01:09. > :01:10.Warrington. # raez Sorry. The people in my community have been absolutely
:01:11. > :01:24.fantastic. I cannot thank the police enough and
:01:25. > :01:29.the Victim Support. Some news, this is just reaching us
:01:30. > :01:37.here on the programme. It is to do with Rory McIlroy. Rory McIlroy says
:01:38. > :01:44.he will not be taking part in the Rio Olympics because of concerns
:01:45. > :01:49.over the Zika virus. Rory McIlroy says he won't be going to the Rio
:01:50. > :01:52.Games because of concerns over the Zika virus. It is time for the
:01:53. > :02:01.weather and here is Carol. We have got three zones, showers and
:02:02. > :02:05.sunshine across Northern Ireland and the same across Scotland. This
:02:06. > :02:08.weather front is introducing thicker cloud and rain. Muggy conditions to
:02:09. > :02:12.the south of that and the South East. And drier conditions across
:02:13. > :02:17.Northern England. Again, with bright or sunny skies. As we head through
:02:18. > :02:22.this evening and overnight, we are expecting some torrential thundery
:02:23. > :02:26.downpours. They could lead to localised flooding issues and you
:02:27. > :02:29.can find out more on your local radio station. You can see how they
:02:30. > :02:36.develop moving up the south-eastern quarter of the UK across Essex,
:02:37. > :02:38.Sussex and Kent. Away from that, we have got drier conditions and fewer
:02:39. > :02:42.showers, but it will be a muggy night. That leads us into the start
:02:43. > :02:46.of tomorrow. Once again, all those thunderstorms to start the day
:02:47. > :02:50.pushing away for a time. They will be replaced later on from the south
:02:51. > :02:52.later on as temperatures rise. Still the south-eastern quarter of the
:02:53. > :02:56.country that's likely to be affected. North of that, we are back
:02:57. > :03:00.into bright spells, sunshine and showers. Temperatures in the north
:03:01. > :03:06.up to 20 Celsius in Newcastle, but 24 Celsius in London.

:08:38. > :08:43.Victoria. The golfer Rory McIlroy announced he will withdraw with the
:08:44. > :08:47.Rishtion io Olympicsment McIlroy was in Paris to watch Northern Ireland
:08:48. > :08:50.play Germany, but he has decided into the to play in the Games
:08:51. > :08:58.because of concerns about the Zika virus. He is one of a number of
:08:59. > :09:03.high-profile golfers to pull out. Adam Scott and Vijay Singh are the
:09:04. > :09:07.others. He says, "After speaking with those closest to me. I have
:09:08. > :09:10.come to realise that my health and my family's health comes before
:09:11. > :09:16.anything else, even though the risk of infection from the Zika virus is
:09:17. > :09:20.low, it is a risk nonetheless and a risk I am unwilling to take. I trust
:09:21. > :09:26.the Irish people will understand my decision." Just to recap, that is
:09:27. > :09:31.Rory McIlroy and the announcement that he won't be going to Rio.
:09:32. > :09:35.Disappointing news for him, but he was probably quite a lot happier in
:09:36. > :09:40.France last night where he watched Northern Ireland play their way into
:09:41. > :09:46.the round of 16. They were beaten 1-0 by the world champions Germany,
:09:47. > :09:49.but a huge performance from their goalkeeper Michael McGovern kept the
:09:50. > :09:54.score more than respectable. After other results last night they are
:09:55. > :09:57.still in the competition! So a happy Northern Ireland camp. Not so for
:09:58. > :10:01.the England team, it seems. Today's back pages are full of stories about
:10:02. > :10:06.possible disquiet about the changes Roy Hodgson made to the team for the
:10:07. > :10:12.final group game. Olly Foster joins us now. Olly, is the backlash
:10:13. > :10:18.beginning, is it all starting to go wrong for Roy? Well, it went wrong a
:10:19. > :10:24.couple of nights ago. Good morning, Sally. A glorious morning here in
:10:25. > :10:29.Chantilly, that backfired the changes. You make six changes and
:10:30. > :10:34.Roy Hodgson was expected to win that match, but there was no discernible
:10:35. > :10:38.change in pattern or pace and tempo and certainly, dropping the captain
:10:39. > :10:44.Wayne Rooney, that was something that raised a lot of eyebrows
:10:45. > :10:48.against Slovakia and Jack Wilshere really didn't fill that hole and
:10:49. > :10:53.when Rooney came on things changed, but not quickly enough. So the
:10:54. > :10:57.permutations now is that England are now in limbo really. Knowing that
:10:58. > :11:02.they're going off to Nice on Monday, but who they face, well, we'll find
:11:03. > :11:06.out later. The players have been given time off today. Some have gone
:11:07. > :11:13.shopping in Paris. Some may attend race day behind me at the fantastic
:11:14. > :11:18.Chantilly racecourse, they are trying to work out what the best 11
:11:19. > :11:22.is. Just like the rest of us! Olly,
:11:23. > :11:28.thank you very much indeed. That's all for now. The breaking story this

:12:32. > :12:34.Spanish bull fighting. The real show tonight isn't in Brussels, but it is

:12:42. > :12:49.What matters is holiday pay... For the United Kingdom. Remain. Leave.
:12:50. > :12:53.After a great deal of heartache, I don't think there is anything else I

:13:02. > :13:06.same situation. What our judgment is, is a risk. The governor strayed
:13:07. > :13:09.now into the expression of what is a simple, personal prediction. I think
:13:10. > :13:14.it is appalling that the people who want to drag the United Kingdom out
:13:15. > :13:23.of the European Union are now trying to drag the Queen in... Louis and
:13:24. > :13:26.Hitler were trying to create a United States of Europe. We're
:13:27. > :13:31.losing our identity and we are suddenly just going to get swallowed
:13:32. > :13:34.up. I'm positive on the EU. The UK is going to be in the back of the
:13:35. > :13:38.queue. I think the American president is coming out with the
:13:39. > :13:42.same rubbish that David Cameron is coming out with. I am angry at the
:13:43. > :13:47.way the British people are being misled. Uncontrolled numbers coming
:13:48. > :13:56.in, not only depress wages for working people. With scare
:13:57. > :14:02.stories... You are no fisherman's friend. You are on the European
:14:03. > :14:09.Parliament fishing committee and you attended one out of 43 meetings.
:14:10. > :14:13.You're a fraud, Nigel. What Mr Geldof did was show his contempt for
:14:14. > :14:17.the men and women that have come here today.
:14:18. > :14:21.# One way or another I'm going to find you, I'm going to get you one
:14:22. > :14:26.way or another. # I'm going to... #
:14:27. > :14:31.I'm campaigning to remain in the European Union.
:14:32. > :14:35.This city wouldn't be what it is without immigrants. The question
:14:36. > :14:39.is... Immigrants built this city. Oh, you don't want to listen, right.
:14:40. > :14:44.People are going to bring this country forward in the future, but
:14:45. > :15:36.you're not. Anyway, have a leaflet. Thanks.
:15:37. > :16:08.So in just 21 hours the polls will be open and you will get to cast
:16:09. > :16:13.your vote. Then what happens? When do we get a result? What could
:16:14. > :16:22.follow in the coming hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades,
:16:23. > :16:26.lifetime? Norman Smith joins me. All of the big broadcasters are setting
:16:27. > :16:33.up their portable makeshift studios for what is going to be a global
:16:34. > :16:38.news story. A massive story not just here in Britain, but frankly, around
:16:39. > :16:44.the world. Let's look at the timetable from tomorrow night. Ten
:16:45. > :16:49.o'clock is when the polls close. If you have not voted by then, my
:16:50. > :16:53.friend, you are out of time. They will not be any exit polls for this
:16:54. > :16:59.referendum because the pollsters say they have nothing to base it on. At
:17:00. > :17:02.two o'clock we will get the result is beginning to come through. They
:17:03. > :17:08.will be announced by local councils first. Those will trick on through
:17:09. > :17:12.the night. At six o'clock, pundits, I think we'll be in a position where
:17:13. > :17:18.they can start to call this result, to suggest which way it may be
:17:19. > :17:23.shifting. You will probably have to wait until about 7:30am for the
:17:24. > :17:27.official result from Manchester town Hall, when we will know whether we
:17:28. > :17:32.have taken the momentous decision to leave the European Union or whether
:17:33. > :17:35.we are going to stay in. I guess one of the questions which is going to
:17:36. > :17:42.crop up straightaway is, what happens to the Prime Minister rock?
:17:43. > :17:45.-- Prime Minister? Both Boris Johnson and David Cameron have been
:17:46. > :17:50.clear he will carry on whatever the result. I will accept the verdict of
:17:51. > :17:53.the British people. If they vote to remain, we will remain in the
:17:54. > :17:56.European Union, the process of reform continues and we wake up on
:17:57. > :18:01.Friday knowing that investment and jobs and the dividend will come to
:18:02. > :18:05.our country. If we vote to leave, I will carry out that instruction from
:18:06. > :18:08.the British people. That is what I said at the general election, that
:18:09. > :18:13.is what was in our manifesto and that is what I will do. Whatever
:18:14. > :18:19.happens at the end of this, and I have said this to the Prime
:18:20. > :18:22.Minister, he has got to stay. The battalions of the argument are
:18:23. > :18:28.unquestionably ranged against people like me. We are per trade as crazy,
:18:29. > :18:33.cracked and the rest of it. I don't mind. I happen to think that I am
:18:34. > :18:39.right. It is a very difficult case to make. I have thought a lot about
:18:40. > :18:46.it for many years. Let's go through the different scenarios, depending
:18:47. > :18:50.what happens tomorrow morning. The first scenario, Mr Cameron bursts
:18:51. > :18:56.through the finishing tape, Remain win, the nation votes to stay in the
:18:57. > :19:00.European Union. What happens? A statement from Mr Cameron on the
:19:01. > :19:04.steps of Downing Street is likely pretty much as soon as we get the
:19:05. > :19:09.result. He will stress how the nation has spoken, the decision has
:19:10. > :19:11.been made, it is a once-in-a-lifetime generation. Then
:19:12. > :19:19.over the next few days and weeks, reshuffle may be. Will Mr Cameron
:19:20. > :19:24.seek a revenge reshuffle? Willingly seek to knife his treacherous
:19:25. > :19:27.cabinet vote will it be a reconciliation reshuffle? Will easy
:19:28. > :19:33.to bring in people like Boris Johnson? The other option runs
:19:34. > :19:37.towards a unity agenda. Will Mr Cameron bring forward policies which
:19:38. > :19:42.his party can rally around in the wake of this divisive contest?
:19:43. > :19:46.Perhaps he will call a controversial vote on Trident, which is party can
:19:47. > :19:51.unite around but it may embarrass Labour. The second scenario, what if
:19:52. > :19:59.Boris Johnson and the Brexiteer 's burst through the finishing tape
:20:00. > :20:03.first. What if we vote to leave? New leader would seem very likely
:20:04. > :20:06.despite Mr Cameron's protestations that he will stay. The most likely
:20:07. > :20:13.candidate, probably one Boris Johnson. But also they would have to
:20:14. > :20:16.be a new deal. We would have to begin negotiations with the rest of
:20:17. > :20:20.Europe because we would not longer be in the single market. We would
:20:21. > :20:25.have to work out what sort of a trading arrangement we are bound to
:20:26. > :20:28.have with the rest of Europe. Finally, new world because other EU
:20:29. > :20:34.countries may also decide, if Britain has left, we want out, too.
:20:35. > :20:39.It could lead to a total reshaping, even collapse of the European Union,
:20:40. > :20:44.a change in the nature of global relations. There is a third
:20:45. > :20:50.scenario. And that is a narrow, squeaky win for Mr Cameron. Both he
:20:51. > :20:58.and Boris Johnson are neck and neck at the finishing tape. What happens
:20:59. > :21:02.then? Plots galore. Expect Tory MPs to be manoeuvring, trying to ease Mr
:21:03. > :21:08.Cameron out, trying to push Boris Johnson into power. There is the
:21:09. > :21:12.danger of a zombie parliament because some of Mr Cameron's critics
:21:13. > :21:17.on the Tory benches may simply refuse to go along with any policy
:21:18. > :21:21.to our legislation he proposes, and parliament could be reduced to a
:21:22. > :21:27.zombie status unable to do anything. That might lead to a general
:21:28. > :21:32.election. Maybe Mr Cameron would decide enough is enough, I cannot go
:21:33. > :21:36.on like this, let's call a snap general election. If Boris 's
:21:37. > :21:40.leader, he may want his own mandate. He could demand a general election.
:21:41. > :21:46.We could see a general election before the end of the year. Tomorrow
:21:47. > :21:50.is obviously a momentous moment. But do not think the political upheaval
:21:51. > :21:53.and turmoil and change is necessarily going to end tomorrow
:21:54. > :22:00.night. Wow! General election by the end of
:22:01. > :22:04.the year. Oh, my word. Tomorrow is not the first time the British
:22:05. > :22:16.public have had the opportunity to decide whether we become -- we're
:22:17. > :22:20.part of the EU. Back then, the UK chose to remain. Throughout this
:22:21. > :22:26.campaign I have said, I think we have all said, that in the community
:22:27. > :22:31.or outside the community, Britain's future depends on our own efforts
:22:32. > :22:37.here, our own inventiveness, our skill, our technology and restraint.
:22:38. > :22:41.As always in the past but now as never before, Britain depends on the
:22:42. > :22:48.efforts we make in our trade and in our industry, and the contribution
:22:49. > :22:52.everyone of us to that effort. How many of those who voted 40 odd years
:22:53. > :22:59.ago would vote the same way this time around? Let's vote to Kevin
:23:00. > :23:03.Mulloy, who voted to stay in the EU. And June Bennett, who voted for
:23:04. > :23:11.Britain to leave in the referendum. Good morning. Kevin, it was Remain
:23:12. > :23:15.for you in 1975. What about now? It was a hard decision this time. I
:23:16. > :23:23.spent several weeks agonising over it. I took into account,
:23:24. > :23:30.sovereignty, EU immigration... I decided to remain. Jean, what about
:23:31. > :23:35.you? Tomorrow I will be voting to leave. When we originally voted, we
:23:36. > :23:42.voted to join, which is different to what it is now. How I felt then was,
:23:43. > :23:45.we were OK, we could do business across the world, there was no
:23:46. > :23:52.problem. Now there seems to be a lot of difficulties for the
:23:53. > :23:54.small-business people who make up to 90% of employers in the private
:23:55. > :24:01.sector, and they have horrendous problems. One instance is some
:24:02. > :24:08.people I know who supply chemicals for swimming pools. The small
:24:09. > :24:18.companies in England who would supply them can no longer afford to
:24:19. > :24:21.because they have two apply under regulations, which will cost them
:24:22. > :24:26.tens of thousands of pounds, which small businesses do not have. So
:24:27. > :24:29.they are either closing down going into insolvency, and there is just
:24:30. > :24:37.one company which now supplies, a large company based in Switzerland.
:24:38. > :24:41.The consequence is that the product is four times more expensive and the
:24:42. > :24:47.end product, the price has quadrupled. That cannot be right and
:24:48. > :24:51.that cannot be the only time this is happening. Kevan, do you think you
:24:52. > :25:00.made the right decision last time when you voted to remain?
:25:01. > :25:07.Definitely. No doubt about it. Since then, the Iron Curtain has come
:25:08. > :25:11.down. Access and into the EU nations has been achieved by Poland and a
:25:12. > :25:15.number of European -- eastern European countries. It is a more
:25:16. > :25:19.complicated situation. You get freedom of movement, which you did
:25:20. > :25:26.not originally have. It was quite an agonising choice. But in the end I
:25:27. > :25:30.looked at both campaigns, and by the way I am not supporting or
:25:31. > :25:37.denigrating either campaign, I looked at it and the final question
:25:38. > :25:41.I asked myself was, from the campaigns, which side, if any, is
:25:42. > :25:45.actually quoting other authorities and other sources? And which side,
:25:46. > :25:51.if any, is just quoting about itself and what it thinks? I came to the
:25:52. > :25:55.conclusion that on the Remain side there are facts and figures that
:25:56. > :26:07.have been put down, some of them are projections, admittedly. On the
:26:08. > :26:10.Remain side... The Leave side were not citing any authorities. There
:26:11. > :26:15.was not really anything that I could pin the tail on the donkey. There
:26:16. > :26:21.was no donkey to put in -- pin the tail on, put it that way. In the end
:26:22. > :26:24.I felt Remain was a safe bet. If we do not leave now, there is nothing
:26:25. > :26:29.to say we could not leave and five or ten years. We could have another
:26:30. > :26:34.referendum. If we do leave now, it is a mistake. There is no way we
:26:35. > :26:40.would get back the rebates, the opt out to that we have been granted.
:26:41. > :26:45.Thank you both very much. June Bennett who will vote tomorrow to
:26:46. > :26:50.leave the European Union, as she did in 1975. And Kevin Mulloy, who has
:26:51. > :26:55.already voted to remain in the EU, like he did in 75.
:26:56. > :26:58.Sir Cliff Richard says he may take legal action against South Yorkshire
:26:59. > :27:01.police and the BBC for the way they pursued and reported
:27:02. > :27:10.unfounded allegations against him of sexual abuse.
:27:11. > :27:15.He believes there must have been illegal collusion between the events
:27:16. > :27:17.which led to a police raid of his home being broadcast on BBC News.
:27:18. > :27:31.This must be an enormous relief? To get the news a couple of days ago
:27:32. > :27:36.telling me that it was good news from the CPS was just fantastic. It
:27:37. > :27:43.is very difficult for me to explain to people what it felt like for me
:27:44. > :27:47.to be an innocent. But having these vile accusations thrown at me. The
:27:48. > :27:53.wording is insufficient evidence to prosecute. The CPS, it is what they
:27:54. > :28:00.do. There are certain terminologies they have two use. In this case if
:28:01. > :28:05.they -- they never say there is no evidence. They just say insufficient
:28:06. > :28:09.evidence. Nothing on which we can prosecute. In a way I still feel
:28:10. > :28:14.tarnished. Insufficient suggests that maybe there is something there.
:28:15. > :28:22.I know there isn't. I have had to to years of traumatic emotional trauma
:28:23. > :28:25.to get over. Do you think the laws should be changed to protect the
:28:26. > :28:32.identity of those who are accused? The Levenson report, that is a
:28:33. > :28:36.guideline Fathi police should behave. It says, except in
:28:37. > :28:42.exceptional circumstances, people should never be named unless they

:43:01. > :43:07.daughter. . I have disowned her. Through, because you don't think one
:43:08. > :43:12.of your own off spring could be possibly involved in a terrible
:43:13. > :43:22.tragic crime. Unfortunately, she was. And... Do you accept that she
:43:23. > :43:27.was under his control? That he was domineering, violent, abusive, and
:43:28. > :43:33.controlled her? I think yeah, I understand that he was violent and
:43:34. > :43:40.controlling, but I think she is also capable of being the same with him.
:43:41. > :43:46.So I would say it is 50/50. Right. You and your wife, Linda, cared for
:43:47. > :43:50.and nurtured Ellie for five of her six years... Yes. Tell us a little
:43:51. > :44:05.bit about Ellie. What was she like? Beautiful. Excuse me... Bubbly,
:44:06. > :44:13.gorgeous little girl, very brainy and intelligent, and very loving.
:44:14. > :44:21.She was very clever. She was polite. She liked playing games. She had
:44:22. > :44:26.lots of friends at her school. And the stories that Butler and her are
:44:27. > :44:30.saying that she was rude and lazy are complete and utter false lies.
:44:31. > :44:38.She was a gorgeous little girl and it was a great privilege, excuse me,
:44:39. > :44:41.to have been her grandparent. I wonder what you thought Mr Gray
:44:42. > :44:47.when you saw Ben Butler and your daughter on TV as we saw in that
:44:48. > :44:50.clip, protesting their innocence, saying that they had been a victim
:44:51. > :44:58.of a miscarriage of justice? I thought it was a complete and utter
:44:59. > :45:03.joke. Because after that clip was shown, he got hold of a chap called
:45:04. > :45:08.Max Clifford a PR guru who is now also inside and I think their idea
:45:09. > :45:09.was to milk the system for as much money as they could possibly get.
:45:10. > :45:22.Right. It is an utter farce. Do you believe your daughter
:45:23. > :45:29.genuinely believed Ellie had died in an accident, which is what his story
:45:30. > :45:36.was? I don't think she did believe she died in an accident. I think she
:45:37. > :45:41.knew what had happened. She knew what he was capable of. She had
:45:42. > :45:49.inflicted injuries herself several times. Through the loss of other
:45:50. > :45:55.children. Why would she cover up the murder of her daughter by her
:45:56. > :46:02.partner? I don't know. That is a question I cannot answer. I often
:46:03. > :46:08.sold search myself, and my wife used -- my wife used to sold search,
:46:09. > :46:14.asking why. When you have a child your number one priority is always
:46:15. > :46:19.the child. For anybody. Whether it is a father, a mother, grandfather,
:46:20. > :46:24.grandmother, the child is the most important thing in this world. They
:46:25. > :46:33.are precious. It is a privilege to have a child in my eyes. If you have
:46:34. > :46:40.a child you have to look after that child completely and utterly.
:46:41. > :46:45.Without it, many nasty things would happen, which have happened in the
:46:46. > :46:51.past years. I believe the social services laws have got to be brought
:46:52. > :46:55.into the 21st century. I also believe that the family court system
:46:56. > :47:02.as it is today, has got to be changed radically and brought into
:47:03. > :47:10.the 21st century. Less secrecy? Less secrecy, yes. Open it completely.
:47:11. > :47:19.But in particular cases, keep the child's name anonymous, if that has
:47:20. > :47:25.got to be. The child has got to be kept number one. That is the most
:47:26. > :47:29.important thing. I don't think the establishment has learned. We have
:47:30. > :47:37.heard Baby P, we have that victorious Colombia -- Victoria Klim
:47:38. > :47:41.be. So many inadequacies of the social services or the family
:47:42. > :47:48.courts. Somebody has got to stand up and make sure that no other child,
:47:49. > :47:55.possibly, doesn't get hurt like my grand daughter got hurt. Neal Gray.
:47:56. > :48:01.Let me read some of your messages. And says she has just seen the
:48:02. > :48:04.grandfather and what a brave, wonderful person he is. Somebody
:48:05. > :48:09.must be responsible for this terrible tragedy. We must have a
:48:10. > :48:13.public enquiry. The judge should be held in Cannes -- accountable. Kevin
:48:14. > :48:19.is a serving police officer. Seeing the emotions has reduced him to
:48:20. > :48:24.tears, and that is not easily done. Alison found it absolutely
:48:25. > :48:29.heartbreaking. I hope Ellie's grandfather finds peace. There are
:48:30. > :48:32.so many of these. Jules says, Neal Gray, my heart is broken for you.
:48:33. > :48:35.Let's talk to Claire Throssell whose two children were murdered

:48:44. > :48:56.Peter Gregg is from The Children's Society.
:48:57. > :49:03.The reason we have got you together is to talk particularly about the
:49:04. > :49:15.control that Ben Butler, the father of Ellie, the partner of Jenny Gray,
:49:16. > :49:15.exerted over his family. Emma, I think it would be helpful to
:49:16. > :49:18.describe coercive control. Good morning. Can I just start by
:49:19. > :49:24.offering my condolences to Ellie's family, her grandfather in
:49:25. > :49:28.particular. This is a horrific case. In terms of coercive control, what
:49:29. > :49:34.we know from decades of research is that when we have spoken to victims
:49:35. > :49:38.of domestic violence, women in particular, coercive control those
:49:39. > :49:42.actually cannot see. If you have a physical assault and you have a
:49:43. > :49:48.bruise, other people can see it but -- cannot see it but you can see it
:49:49. > :49:52.yourself. Coercive control is about manipulating everyday situations. It
:49:53. > :49:57.is about controlling her somebody reacts to a given situation. People
:49:58. > :50:00.talk about walking on eggshells. They talk about having to respond
:50:01. > :50:06.and reacted to their partner in order to keep some control, but
:50:07. > :50:10.ultimately their abusive partner always has that control. There were
:50:11. > :50:18.so many horrible texts Butler sent to his partner, and notes. One was,
:50:19. > :50:26.just watch your mouth. Your mouth is the trigger for me. Yes. I think we
:50:27. > :50:29.could give many examples from research we have been doing with the
:50:30. > :50:35.victims of domestic abuse around coercive control. At some points you
:50:36. > :50:41.do not necessarily need to have a direct threat. There is not a direct
:50:42. > :50:45.threat to kill. That individual understands what will happen and
:50:46. > :50:48.that they are abdicating responsibility. The blame is put
:50:49. > :50:54.onto the victim. In terms of the children in particular in this case,
:50:55. > :50:57.there was an expectation that she would actually abused the children
:50:58. > :51:04.on his behalf. That was being manipulated and controlled by him.
:51:05. > :51:07.Cler, you have experienced this kind of control. I wonder if you would
:51:08. > :51:15.feel comfortable in telling our audience? Yes. My ex-husband was
:51:16. > :51:20.very controlling. He would contact me many, many times in a day. Up to
:51:21. > :51:25.16, 17 phone calls a day wanting to know where we were, what we were
:51:26. > :51:29.doing. If I took the children out for the day, he would punish me when
:51:30. > :51:35.he came for home from work. He would put us all down, destroy our
:51:36. > :51:40.self-confidence. In the end you just look in the mirror and you do not
:51:41. > :51:50.recognise yourself any more. It is very hard to break that cycle. The
:51:51. > :51:58.boys showed so much courage to do that. In what way? They used to
:51:59. > :52:02.stick up for me. They used to say, don't speak to my mum like that. And
:52:03. > :52:07.I realised that I had to take them out of that. Children are like
:52:08. > :52:14.rainbows they absorbed the light and reflected back. I did not want my
:52:15. > :52:20.children reflecting that behaviour back to anybody else. They knew it
:52:21. > :52:26.was wrong. Like you say, they walk around on eggshells. They never knew
:52:27. > :52:31.what mood he would be in. Again, I got abusive messages, abusive texts.
:52:32. > :52:37.It was a pattern of behaviour. It never seems to break until you get
:52:38. > :52:41.the courage to do it yourself. Peter, what is the children's
:52:42. > :52:47.Society review of the Ellie Butler case? A tragic and horrific story.
:52:48. > :52:51.Listening to Ellie's grandfather makes it absolutely clear that at
:52:52. > :52:56.the heart of this is Ellie, a young girl who was not being listened to.
:52:57. > :53:01.We work with young people facing neglect, abuse and other things
:53:02. > :53:06.going on in their lives. Too often. Nobody spends the time to ask them
:53:07. > :53:09.questions about what is going on in their lives. The serious case review
:53:10. > :53:13.in this instance has shown that time and time again opportunities were
:53:14. > :53:20.missed to listen to what Ellie would have had to say, and potentially
:53:21. > :53:26.avoided her tragic outcome. But in this particular case, as we now
:53:27. > :53:33.know, Mrs Justice Hogg, a judge at the family court division, had
:53:34. > :53:37.exonerated Ben Butler and effectively said, on all the local
:53:38. > :53:40.authority files, social workers, police, health etc, it should be
:53:41. > :53:48.prominent that Ben Butler had been exonerated. And private social
:53:49. > :53:52.workers were involved. It excluded Local Authority workers from being
:53:53. > :53:58.able to intervene. That is what the serious case review concluded. It
:53:59. > :54:02.does. The many agencies that did want to stand up early, they were
:54:03. > :54:06.not able to have that voice. The other thing the case review makes
:54:07. > :54:10.clear is that time and time again opportunities were missed to listen
:54:11. > :54:14.to Ellie in an independent way, in a Safeway, where parents were not
:54:15. > :54:19.there, where they could talk to her on her own. They were missed by the
:54:20. > :54:24.GP and on other occasions. If we can take anything from this sad case is
:54:25. > :54:28.-- it is that in these instances we have to listen to the voices of
:54:29. > :54:34.children. We have to trust what they are saying and respond. We have to
:54:35. > :54:38.put their welfare first. Emma, if one was being coercively controlled,
:54:39. > :54:44.how would you know at the time? That is Raly difficult. I think
:54:45. > :54:49.absolutely one of the saddest things about this case is that Ellie was
:54:50. > :54:54.not listened to, and neither were her grandparents. That would have
:54:55. > :55:02.made a massive difference in this case. That happens throughout
:55:03. > :55:06.contact cases. I also think front hand foremost in this case is not
:55:07. > :55:11.necessarily Ellie, but a perpetrator who within the domestic violence
:55:12. > :55:14.situation was coercively controlling his partner but also managed to
:55:15. > :55:19.control and manipulate everybody else. This is one case where perhaps
:55:20. > :55:25.the Local Authority got it right. They are often lambast -- lambasted
:55:26. > :55:30.for getting things wrong. But they said this person was not fit to have
:55:31. > :55:34.a child in his care. That caution and control does not stop at the
:55:35. > :55:39.front door. It affects everybody else trying to take action and those
:55:40. > :55:44.are brought into it. They think he is charming, they think he is a good
:55:45. > :55:49.enough bad. What is ready important is that when we get to the contact
:55:50. > :55:53.situation, abusive parents, most likely fathers, are seen as being
:55:54. > :55:59.good enough parents. There is an assumption of a 50-50 split. What we
:56:00. > :56:03.have shown time and time again is that is not appropriate if we want
:56:04. > :56:10.to put the child first. Cler, I wonder when a partner is being
:56:11. > :56:13.physically abusive, emotionally abusive, but they are manipulating
:56:14. > :56:20.the outside world, putting on this charming front, how do you, as the
:56:21. > :56:25.woman in the middle of that, let the world know something is not right?
:56:26. > :56:31.It is very difficult. You are walking a tightrope. You are trying
:56:32. > :56:39.to protect the children. And like they say, he is totally fooled -- he
:56:40. > :56:43.has totally fooled social services. He was difficult, he was aggressive,
:56:44. > :56:47.and I warned them about their behaviour -- his behaviour. He
:56:48. > :56:51.threatened to commit suicide in June. I was not listened to and the
:56:52. > :57:00.boys were not listened to because he presented a fund. But there can only
:57:01. > :57:04.keep it up for so long. And then it goes. But by then it is too late.
:57:05. > :57:13.Thank you all very much for coming on the programme. In the Williamson,
:57:14. > :57:19.Peter Gregg and Clare. -- Ehmer. Some more comments from you. So many
:57:20. > :57:23.regarding the interview with Neal Gray. Karen found heartbreaking to
:57:24. > :57:29.watch. I wonder how the authorities can get it so wrong. I hope Ellie's
:57:30. > :57:34.grandad gets the public enquiry to hold those people accountable. This
:57:35. > :57:38.news from Germany. Investigators in Germany say if former nurse may have
:57:39. > :57:44.killed dozens of patients by injecting them with heart
:57:45. > :57:49.medication. The man was jailed last year from killing two people and
:57:50. > :57:53.attempting to murder two others, but a court has ordered the exhumation
:57:54. > :57:58.of 99 former patients at the hospital where he worked and have
:57:59. > :58:04.found traces of this heart drug in 27 of the bodies. This from Germany.
:58:05. > :58:08.Investigators say a former nurse may have killed dozens of his patients
:58:09. > :58:17.by injecting them with heart medication. This after the court
:58:18. > :58:23.ordered the exclamation of patients. They found traces of the drug in 27
:58:24. > :58:25.of the bodies. More on that coming up at 11. Thank you for your time.
:58:26. > :58:37.Back tomorrow at nine. Goodbye. Britain's best athletes
:58:38. > :58:40.head to Birmingham
