:00:22. > :00:25.There were bright lights and lots of people around

:00:26. > :00:29.and I think because my rape had been lots of people there,

:00:30. > :00:32.it just brought so many memories back of that situation,

:00:33. > :00:39.that actually it was really traumatising.

:01:43. > :01:46.Also ahead, keen to hear what you think about this story.

:01:47. > :01:48.The government is looking into the way alcohol

:01:49. > :01:51.is sold at airports, after a spate of incidents on planes

:01:52. > :01:56.Is there a problem with the amount of booze drunk before flights?

:02:08. > :02:11.The deal to build the first nuclear power station in Britain for 20

:02:12. > :02:14.years has been delayed - after the Government said it needed

:02:15. > :02:18.The French firm EDF approved funding for the site at Hinkley Point

:02:19. > :02:22.But, in an unexpected twist, the Government said it would be

:02:23. > :02:26.early autumn before it decides whether or not to back the plan.

:02:27. > :02:28.The Chinese energy company backing the plant says it remains

:02:29. > :02:42.Our Industry Correspondent John Moylan, has the latest.

:02:43. > :02:45.EDF's decision to build a new nuclear plant at Hinkley Point

:02:46. > :02:48.Today, that should have been followed by the government

:02:49. > :02:50.and the French energy giant signing a series of documents

:02:51. > :02:55.A planned visit by VIPs to the site has also been put on ice.

:02:58. > :03:11.Just last week, the Prime Minister met the French President,

:03:22. > :03:27.She's been a very successful Home Secretary, she checks

:03:28. > :03:29.everything, and I know that from stuff I've

:03:43. > :03:44.Sources say with new leadership in the country.

:03:45. > :03:47.it's right that time is taken to consider the huge undertaking.

:03:48. > :03:49.But the decision has caught many people close

:03:50. > :03:52.to the project off-guard, and in the wake of the referendum

:03:53. > :03:54.vote, some will regard the Government's actions as sending

:04:17. > :04:21.Live to our Business Correspondent, Ben Thompson who's at Hinkley.

:04:22. > :04:28.Ben after the funding was all put in place, this was totally unexpected.

:04:29. > :04:36.Does it mean the future of Hinkley is now in serious doubt? Yeah,

:04:37. > :04:42.morning to you, welcome to Hinkley Point. You may wonder why the

:04:43. > :04:46.diggers are still moving. A real spanner thrown in the works by the

:04:47. > :04:51.government last night. But what these trucks are doing is laying the

:04:52. > :04:55.groundwork. They have got to prepare this vast site to make sure that if

:04:56. > :04:58.and when it does get the green light, work can begin again. I want

:04:59. > :05:07.to show you around here. It is an interesting site. This is where

:05:08. > :05:14.Hinkley Point C will be. The two blue buildings are Hinkley Point A.

:05:15. > :05:18.That has been decommissioned. On the right-hand side the white building

:05:19. > :05:23.is Hinkley Point B. That is still functioning. But it will be

:05:24. > :05:29.decommissioned in 2023. That is whoo I the Government was looking -- that

:05:30. > :05:34.is why the Government is looking for alternatives for energy and energy

:05:35. > :05:40.security. One way it might have done that is by building Hinkley Point C.

:05:41. > :05:44.But costs and worries and about overruns and the concerns about the

:05:45. > :05:48.technology and the Government wants to reassess the plans and tells us

:05:49. > :05:53.it may make a decision by the autumn. For everyone here there is a

:05:54. > :05:56.real sense of wait and see. All the work under way. They want to find

:05:57. > :06:01.out when they get the green light. Because that work can start again

:06:02. > :06:06.and there are 25,000 jobs at stake as a result, both building the plant

:06:07. > :06:11.and in the local area in the supply chain. It is crucial for energy

:06:12. > :06:15.security for this part of the country. Thank you.

:06:16. > :06:17.Live now to Annita McVeigh in the BBC Newsroom with the rest

:06:18. > :06:21.Hillary Clinton has accepted the Democratic nomination

:06:22. > :06:24.for President with a rousing speech at the party's national

:06:25. > :06:29.She promised to make the United States a country that

:06:30. > :06:31.worked for everyone - and urged Americans to oppose

:06:32. > :06:36.what she called Donald Trump's 'mean and divisive rhetoric'.

:06:37. > :06:45.The speech no woman has ever made at a party convention in America.

:06:46. > :06:56.And so, my friends, it is with humility,

:06:57. > :07:03.determination, and boundless confidence in America's promise,

:07:04. > :07:14.that I accept your nomination as President of the United States.

:07:15. > :07:17.Her daughter Chelsea is now the child of two presidential

:07:18. > :07:22.nominees and perhaps soon of two presidents.

:07:23. > :07:25.I am voting for a fighter who always believes we can do better

:07:26. > :07:40.The Democrats are united against Donald Trump, but to win,

:07:41. > :07:43.she also has to sell voters on her vision, and hard

:07:44. > :07:53.Yes, the world is watching what we do.

:07:54. > :08:02.Yes, America's destiny is ours to choose.

:08:03. > :08:09.So let's be stronger together my fellow Americans.

:08:10. > :08:13.Millions more watched the Democratic Convention

:08:14. > :08:17.Hillary Clinton hopes this means it will be a bump in the polls

:08:18. > :08:28.The website of Donald Trump's wife, Melania, has been taken down,

:08:29. > :08:30.after American journalists questioned her claim that she had

:08:31. > :08:35.The wife of the Republican presidential candidate says

:08:36. > :08:37.the website no longer accurately reflects her business

:08:38. > :08:43.Last week Mrs Trump was accused of plagiarising Michelle Obama

:08:44. > :08:49.during her speech at the Republican convention.

:08:50. > :08:51.Pope Francis is visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former Nazi

:08:52. > :08:53.death camp where more than one million people,

:08:54. > :08:59.He becomes the third Pope to walk through the main gate of Auschwitz,

:09:00. > :09:01.under its infamous inscription "Arbeit Macht Frei" -

:09:02. > :09:08.He's meeting several camp survivors, as well as people who risked their

:09:09. > :09:15.The way alcohol is sold at airports is being looked

:09:16. > :09:17.at by the government, to try to reduce the problems caused

:09:18. > :09:21.Some ideas already being tested include a ban on people drinking

:09:22. > :09:23.alcohol which they've purchased before their flight,

:09:24. > :09:26.and limits to the amount sold at airport bars and restaurants.

:09:27. > :09:28.Earlier a former cabin-crew member told us what she

:09:29. > :09:51.It needs to stop before people get on board. The staff are there for

:09:52. > :09:54.safety, no tot deal with drunken people.

:09:55. > :09:57.Cross-breeding could be the only way to improve the poor health

:09:58. > :09:59.of English bulldogs - according to new research.

:10:00. > :10:01.It shows that due to centuries of selective breeding,

:10:02. > :10:03.bulldogs have become so inbred they cannot be returned

:10:04. > :10:05.to health without an infusion of new bloodlines.

:10:06. > :10:17.The fans of the English bull dog, it is not hard to see why it was so

:10:18. > :10:22.popular. According to the Kennel Club, their mood can be dignified,

:10:23. > :10:28.humorous or comical and they have many endearing ways. But during the

:10:29. > :10:33.latter part of the last century many were bred to have exaggerated

:10:34. > :10:38.physical features, that led to health problems. Including breathing

:10:39. > :10:46.problems. To breed a strength as unhealthy as the bull dogs, they may

:10:47. > :10:51.have developed obstructive airway syndrome and can't take normal

:10:52. > :10:57.breath and they can't go to the park like a normal dog. Research says the

:10:58. > :11:02.gene pool is so small it could be hard to improve the health without

:11:03. > :11:07.cross breeding. But the proceed council doesn't agree. They say the

:11:08. > :11:12.sample used for the research is too small to draw those conclusions and

:11:13. > :11:14.a health scheme started ten years ago means healthy animals certified

:11:15. > :11:19.by vets are being produced. One of the largest ever

:11:20. > :11:21.dinosaur footprints has It's more than a metre across

:11:22. > :11:27.and is thought to have belonged to a type of dinosaur

:11:28. > :11:29.called an Abelisaurus - which were similar

:11:30. > :11:31.to Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was unearthed in a site

:11:32. > :11:34.in the central hills of Bolivia, and is thought to be tens

:11:35. > :11:38.of millions of years old. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:11:39. > :11:51.News - more at 9.30. Later Norman Smith will look at the

:11:52. > :11:56.number of people joining the Labour Party. All of whom will have a say

:11:57. > :11:58.on whether Jeremy Corbyn remains the Labour leader.

:11:59. > :12:01.Do get in touch with us throughout the morning -

:12:02. > :12:03.use #VictoriaLIVE, and, if you text, you will be charged

:12:04. > :12:18.In particular the issue of alcohol and flying and do they mix. Let us

:12:19. > :12:23.know your thoughts and everything else we are talking about. If you

:12:24. > :12:25.text you will be charged at the standard network rate.

:12:26. > :12:31.Time for a check on the sport now with Hugh.

:12:32. > :12:33.This weekend sees the arrival of Thunder, Lightning,

:12:34. > :12:37.Just some of the teams in the Women's cricket Super

:12:38. > :12:42.A new franchise based T20 competition that will not only

:12:43. > :12:44.showcase the world's best female cricketers.

:12:45. > :12:46.But could also blaze a trail for the men to follow.

:12:47. > :12:55.Let's talk to Tammy Beaumont, who opens the batting for England.

:12:56. > :13:02.This is an exciting time not only for the players, but some of those

:13:03. > :13:07.that you will be playing against? Yes it is massively exciting to be

:13:08. > :13:14.part of women's cricket in England at the moment. We have some of the

:13:15. > :13:20.best players coming and some great cricket. Important for domestic

:13:21. > :13:24.cricket to get a leg up and get us noticing it more? Yes definitely at

:13:25. > :13:28.the moment there is a jump between County cricket and international

:13:29. > :13:32.cricket. Hopefully creating the Super League will bridge that gap

:13:33. > :13:36.and create a bigger pool of players for the selectors to choose from for

:13:37. > :13:40.England. The game has gone professional in England, but there

:13:41. > :13:46.is a gap. The domestic level has been amateur for some time. How

:13:47. > :13:50.important that the England team gets to profit in the games that you will

:13:51. > :13:56.be playing? Yes it is. Playing against some of the world's best,

:13:57. > :14:02.particularly playing against some of the best bowlers in the world will

:14:03. > :14:07.take my game forward, let alone the other girls stepping up into the

:14:08. > :14:12.Super League teams. It worked in Australia with the women's Big Bash

:14:13. > :14:16.and thousands of people watched it. How important that you try and

:14:17. > :14:21.follow the example set in Australia? Yes, the women's Big Bash took off

:14:22. > :14:24.last year and we want to emulate that. But this is our own

:14:25. > :14:29.competition and we can see how far we can get with it and hopefully get

:14:30. > :14:37.some big crowds and get people seeing it on the TV. The men's game

:14:38. > :14:42.has been agonising about whether to go with city-based franchises for

:14:43. > :14:48.T20 competitions if you get this right, the men will copy it? You

:14:49. > :14:54.never know, they are always reviewing things and there is a gap

:14:55. > :14:58.for this and there is the NatWest T20, but the ECB will do what is

:14:59. > :15:05.right for cricket. How is this going to work with six teams and a finals

:15:06. > :15:10.day at Chelmsford, what will we be watch something All the teams will

:15:11. > :15:14.play against everyone else once in T20 and then there will be a finals

:15:15. > :15:18.day where the third and second teams in the league will play agains each

:15:19. > :15:28.other in a semi-final and the team who comes first in the league will

:15:29. > :15:31.go straight to the final. There is western storm in the West Country,

:15:32. > :15:34.the whole country should be represented, there will be cricket

:15:35. > :15:41.fans everywhere who get a chance to see women playing? Ethnically. Lots

:15:42. > :15:43.to look forward to. Tammy, play well, they start on Sunday and it

:15:44. > :15:50.gets underway on Saturday. follow the super League on BBC

:15:51. > :15:51.radio, five live sports extra and your local station. Check the

:15:52. > :15:54.listings for that. We'll have the rest of the sporting

:15:55. > :15:57.headlines at 9.30 and an in-depth look at those stories in our next

:15:58. > :16:02.bulletin just after 10. Back to you.

:16:03. > :16:07.Thank you. Let me bring you some of your

:16:08. > :16:11.comments on drinking on the plains. One says, I'm a frequent flyer and

:16:12. > :16:15.fed up with sharing a plane with drunks. As a former police officer,

:16:16. > :16:19.I am horrified at the airline is putting profit before safety.

:16:20. > :16:23.Another by e-mail, it frightens me to learn those on stag parties can

:16:24. > :16:26.get tanked up and then board flight. If they ever had any sense of

:16:27. > :16:32.responsibility and courteous nests to others, it is lost, both in that

:16:33. > :16:36.alcohol induced state and pack mentality just another, have argued

:16:37. > :16:41.there should be no alcohol available on flights and tight control for

:16:42. > :16:45.those boarding. They are a selfish and disruptive anxiety for many

:16:46. > :16:48.passengers and is for cabin staff to deal with the obnoxious behaviour.

:16:49. > :16:51.More on that later, keep your comments coming in.

:16:52. > :16:53.The UK's first maternity clinic designed solely for victims of rape

:16:54. > :16:58.The service is provided by the NHS and ensures that women who have

:16:59. > :17:00.experienced sexual violence receive specialist and tailor made care

:17:01. > :17:05.It's opening at the Royal London Hospital - the BBC have been

:17:06. > :17:13.What happened was, when I went into labour, I think my body just

:17:14. > :17:20.I just couldn't open my legs for the baby to come out.

:17:21. > :17:23.It should be one of the happiest days of a woman's life.

:17:24. > :17:25.But for this mother, giving birth left her traumatised.

:17:26. > :17:34.For many victims of rape or sexual assault, having a baby can trigger

:17:35. > :17:38.There were bright lights, and just lots and lots

:17:39. > :17:45.And I think for me, because my rape had been, you know,

:17:46. > :17:47.lots of people there, lots of people watching

:17:48. > :17:50.what was going on, it just brought so many memories

:17:51. > :17:52.back of that situation, that actually it was

:17:53. > :17:58.It is not just when they come through the door that they are going

:17:59. > :18:03.It was hearing experiences like this, and this woman's

:18:04. > :18:06.own experience of being raped as a teenager, which led her to set

:18:07. > :18:10.up this maternity clinic, the first of its kind in the UK.

:18:11. > :18:13.One woman was told by her rapist, "if you relax, it will be

:18:14. > :18:17.And this woman was also told that in a health care setting.

:18:18. > :18:21.So you can imagine that, you know, the health professional

:18:22. > :18:24.was completely unwittingly and unknowingly echoing the words

:18:25. > :18:27.of the rapist, which had a huge impact on the woman mentally.

:18:28. > :18:30.At a glance, the service is like any other.

:18:31. > :18:34.But behind-the-scenes, specially trained staff will be

:18:35. > :18:37.providing extra support for victims of sexual violence,

:18:38. > :18:42.with some babies here born as a result of the rape.

:18:43. > :18:48.This is a stigma, and women tend not to talk about it.

:18:49. > :18:51.Very often, women who come through, there might be some characteristics

:18:52. > :18:54.that they come across during the birth, and it is a shame,

:18:55. > :18:57.because had we known before, we could have worked with them

:18:58. > :18:59.and helped the women to go through a positive birth experience.

:19:00. > :19:02.Official figures show one in five women in England and Wales have

:19:03. > :19:07.experienced some form of sexual violence.

:19:08. > :19:10.This new specialist service will be able to help those expectant mothers

:19:11. > :19:16.who need that extra bit of care and support.

:19:17. > :19:21.Which this mother wishes had been there for her during her pregnancy.

:19:22. > :19:23.Just by virtue of walking through the door into the clinic,

:19:24. > :19:27.people actually know something of what has happened to you.

:19:28. > :19:31.It means that you have said it without having to say it.

:19:32. > :19:36.And that in some ways is the hardest thing.

:19:37. > :19:38.Instead, the trauma that she relived giving birth has taken

:19:39. > :19:45.It really wasn't what was an ideal situation, it would not be

:19:46. > :19:48.what I would want anybody else to have to go through.

:19:49. > :19:55.And that, that is part of my journey, I suppose.

:19:56. > :19:58.From today, women across the country can access this new clinic,

:19:59. > :20:08.which could soon be introduced to other parts of the UK.

:20:09. > :20:16.Pavan Amara is the Founder of My Body Back and the new

:20:17. > :20:18.maternity clinic at the Royal London Hospital.

:20:19. > :20:20.Yvonne Traynor is from the charity, Rape Crisis

:20:21. > :20:23.and Indy Kaur is a consultant midwife leading the My Body Back

:20:24. > :20:25.maternity clinics at The Royal London Hospital.

:20:26. > :20:30.She has been a midwife for twenty years.

:20:31. > :20:40.Thank you all very much for coming in to talk about this. Pavan, this

:20:41. > :20:44.is something borne out of your own experience, my project, I started

:20:45. > :20:51.because of my own experience, but since then it has come on to be

:20:52. > :20:56.about women, lots of other women who have got in contact with us. The

:20:57. > :20:59.real reason I am doing this is the experiences women have told me

:21:00. > :21:04.about, who come to our project and tell us how difficult it was to go

:21:05. > :21:08.through pregnancy and labour as someone who had experienced sexual

:21:09. > :21:12.assault or rape in the past. There was not enough support out there.

:21:13. > :21:17.The reason I started the project was that. Tell us why it is particularly

:21:18. > :21:20.so difficult for somebody who has been raped or sexually assaulted in

:21:21. > :21:26.the past when they go through childbirth? Essentially because many

:21:27. > :21:29.women feel that when they were assaulted initially, or when they

:21:30. > :21:33.were raped, they were completely out of control of their body. When they

:21:34. > :21:38.become pregnant, they feel they have moved on from what has happened a

:21:39. > :21:41.lot of the time, ten years after five years after, they have had lots

:21:42. > :21:45.of counselling from rape crisis centres, they are back at work,

:21:46. > :21:49.doing what everyone would consider normal things and living a normal

:21:50. > :21:53.life and relationships again. But when they become pregnant, the whole

:21:54. > :21:59.idea of being out of control of your body again, strangers touching you,

:22:00. > :22:05.of not being in control at all of things like joiner will

:22:06. > :22:09.examinations, even that you are experiencing contractions and have

:22:10. > :22:14.no say in what happens with that, because it is nature taking control,

:22:15. > :22:19.that leaves women vulnerable. What lots of women were saying to me, who

:22:20. > :22:25.have come to my project is that they, they were experiencing lots of

:22:26. > :22:30.flashbacks to the actual assault itself, because for the first time

:22:31. > :22:33.in ten years, five years, 20 years at times, they were out of control

:22:34. > :22:38.physically once more. Little things would trigger them as well. So while

:22:39. > :22:45.seemingly little things, but not little things at all. So when health

:22:46. > :22:47.care professionals would carry out examinations without proper consent

:22:48. > :22:56.or a health professional would use a certain phrase. There was one woman,

:22:57. > :23:01.she was told by a nurse, she said the nurse said to her, if you relax,

:23:02. > :23:04.this will all be over with quicker. That is actually what that woman's

:23:05. > :23:09.rapist said to her. Without realising it and without at all

:23:10. > :23:14.wanting to be unhelpful or upset this woman, the health professional

:23:15. > :23:17.had upset her and not just that but it triggered flashbacks to the rape

:23:18. > :23:22.for her. After that she felt not only had she had a difficult time of

:23:23. > :23:27.it in hospital, but she couldn't access postnatal support either,

:23:28. > :23:32.because the whole idea of being in hospital she associated with being

:23:33. > :23:35.raped again, because of that lack of control once more. So then she

:23:36. > :23:39.wasn't going to breast-feeding classes, she wasn't going to

:23:40. > :23:45.postnatal classes, and that led to her feeling really guilty she wasn't

:23:46. > :23:49.giving her baby the proper support he needed. It became a vicious cycle

:23:50. > :23:55.and I felt we needed to do something about it. Indy Kaur, you were

:23:56. > :23:58.working in a maternity unit and a midwife for 20 years. A huge amount

:23:59. > :24:03.of experience. Has it always been clear when women come to you for

:24:04. > :24:08.childbirth what their past experiences have been? Women tend

:24:09. > :24:11.not to talk about their past experiences, because of the fear of

:24:12. > :24:18.being stigmatised. The percentage of women who come to us with this issue

:24:19. > :24:21.is very small, so it is important we do something to give them a safe

:24:22. > :24:25.environment, where they feel comfortable and safe and know the

:24:26. > :24:28.midwife. What we want to do is limit the amount of health care

:24:29. > :24:31.professionals they see throughout the pregnancy, so the trust

:24:32. > :24:38.develops, providing them with continuity of care so they don't

:24:39. > :24:44.need to repeat the experience, what happened. What we can do is give

:24:45. > :24:48.them sensitive care and individualised care, like Pavan is

:24:49. > :24:53.saying, what sort of words would trigger an experienced up white how

:24:54. > :24:57.can you know? People would all hopefully be empathetic, but can't

:24:58. > :25:04.always understand exactly what someone else has been through? Words

:25:05. > :25:07.that would seem like good advice triggered a reaction. How can you be

:25:08. > :25:17.prepared for everything in this scenario? Women won't have to

:25:18. > :25:20.specifically say when they come to us, I've been raped. Those are

:25:21. > :25:24.sometimes I hardest words in the world to say. Just the very fact

:25:25. > :25:28.they have got in touch with us and said, I want an appointment at your

:25:29. > :25:32.clinic, is enough. They don't have to say any more than that. If they

:25:33. > :25:36.want to, that's fine, but if they don't want to, that's fine as well

:25:37. > :25:41.forced it's about giving them their control back. Then we would have

:25:42. > :25:45.consultations with them to find out what triggers them, what they want,

:25:46. > :25:50.what they feel safe with and working according to their terms. How much

:25:51. > :25:57.of a difference to you think this will make less, a huge difference.

:25:58. > :26:03.200,000 women a year contact rape crisis. There is a continuing theme

:26:04. > :26:07.of women not wanting to contact NHS services for smear tests, maternity

:26:08. > :26:15.care, postnatal care, it is hard for them. As Pavan was saying, it is

:26:16. > :26:19.about control. I think men -- the NHS have a question to answer.

:26:20. > :26:23.Notorious the patients are not asked what's happened to them. It is very

:26:24. > :26:27.much about what is wrong with you, why are you feeling depressed or

:26:28. > :26:30.anxious, but not what has happened to you? A lot of women will go

:26:31. > :26:35.through the whole process not being able to say anything. Rape is a

:26:36. > :26:39.really hard word to say, and we are also talking about women abused in

:26:40. > :26:42.childhood. This is all very difficult to talk about. The

:26:43. > :26:47.triggers we were talking about earlier, they can be bodied triggers

:26:48. > :26:51.or psychological triggers. In that case you were talking about earlier

:26:52. > :26:56.it was a sentence the rapist had used. However, you can't always

:26:57. > :27:04.assess what is going to trigger a reaction, because your body holds a

:27:05. > :27:08.lot of memories. A smell, a taste, a site, something new here, all of

:27:09. > :27:13.those things can trigger off a flashback or reaction. So if you

:27:14. > :27:18.have a specifically trained staff, medical staff, who understand that,

:27:19. > :27:24.then they can mitigate some of the difficulties. You wonder why it has

:27:25. > :27:27.been a long time coming, Indy. Tell us about the specific training and

:27:28. > :27:31.is it something that could be given to all midwives question at yes.

:27:32. > :27:36.What is important is raising the awareness of what women are saying,

:27:37. > :27:40.which is really important. As the lady in the video said about the

:27:41. > :27:44.environment, the environment can be very cluttered, it can be very

:27:45. > :27:48.clinical and a lot of women relate that back to their rape experience.

:27:49. > :27:56.That environment can't be changed? We can limit the amount of people

:27:57. > :27:59.coming through the room. You can dim the lights. There are a lot of

:28:00. > :28:05.things you can introduce. Smells, you can have nice aromatherapy. When

:28:06. > :28:10.anybody goes to a hospital there is always that hospital, clinical

:28:11. > :28:16.smell. Alcohol gel as well. Colours are a start. You can it a more info

:28:17. > :28:20.at welcoming environment for women. That is where our volunteers are

:28:21. > :28:23.really useful, they are there specifically to make women feel

:28:24. > :28:26.comfortable and do those sorts of things. We are working with lots of

:28:27. > :28:33.local businesses, as well, to help with that. Lush, that sells soap,

:28:34. > :28:40.they have donated lots and lots of products to us, so we can give them

:28:41. > :28:44.to the women who use our clinic, our maternity clinic. They are care

:28:45. > :28:50.packs. It is tiny things like that that help. It is also about, we are

:28:51. > :28:55.talking about control, which is so important, because a lot of people

:28:56. > :28:59.think rape is something about sex or losing control. But the perpetrators

:29:00. > :29:05.are very much in control. What we want to do is give that back to

:29:06. > :29:10.victims. It's not a process, we do this now and then that, it should be

:29:11. > :29:15.a process. It should be, are you OK with me doing this, does this feel

:29:16. > :29:19.comfortable, should I be doing that? It is giving power back to them so

:29:20. > :29:22.they are in control of the process the whole time, whatever is

:29:23. > :29:27.happening to them. That should be good practice throughout any way for

:29:28. > :29:30.anybody going through that. Absolutely. With anybody who has

:29:31. > :29:35.suffered from sexual violence, that is where we should be coming from.

:29:36. > :29:42.It is where rape crisis come from, giving that control and give it

:29:43. > :29:44.getting them to make decisions. You have three coming through the

:29:45. > :29:58.maternity unit at the moment? Three coming this morning. This morning I

:29:59. > :30:08.woke up and we had 256 or 253 new referrals. I think already... We are

:30:09. > :30:11.already seeing huge and a bit of women coming forward. Also

:30:12. > :30:16.internationally a lot of women coming forward. Anybody who is

:30:17. > :30:20.watching this who could help us, if you are a medical professional, even

:30:21. > :30:24.if you can donate, anything like that, if you can volunteer for us,

:30:25. > :30:28.we would be grateful for that. I think this will be the tip of the

:30:29. > :30:32.iceberg. If this is going to go well, and it sounds it is already

:30:33. > :30:35.taken off, we need to have the centres around the country and not

:30:36. > :30:39.just that postcode lottery, if you are in London, if you can get here.

:30:40. > :30:47.Because we have had so many international wom contact us, so we

:30:48. > :30:52.are already talking to doctors in South Africa and India about setting

:34:45. > :34:46.death camps Auschwitz and Birkenau this morning,

:34:47. > :34:48.where more than a million people He's being accompanied by a group

:34:49. > :34:53.of survivors, and the trip is being seen as a powerful moment

:34:54. > :34:56.in his five day tour of Poland Our correspondent,

:34:57. > :35:04.Adam Easton is there. It had been anticipated that the

:35:05. > :35:11.Pope might speak, but he has decided to walk around in silence hasn't he?

:35:12. > :35:21.Tell us why. Yes, indeed that is the case. This is Pope Francis is the

:35:22. > :35:26.third head of Church to visit. But he has decided that it would be a

:35:27. > :35:32.more profound and powerful response to the tragedy that happened here to

:35:33. > :35:36.actually walk around in silence and in prayer of course. This is what he

:35:37. > :35:43.is doing. It has been quite powerful. He is making his way up

:35:44. > :35:55.the railway ramp to the monument which is behind me. But earlier he

:35:56. > :36:02.was in the main, the original Auschwitz camp. He came under the

:36:03. > :36:11.gate and walked under and he sat on a bench for about five minutes with

:36:12. > :36:22.his head bowed and he was just in quiet contemplation of the place he

:36:23. > :36:27.was in, the gravity of the horrors that occurred her. It is a profound

:36:28. > :36:33.way to approach Auschwitz and the way he has found, the best way to

:36:34. > :36:38.contemplate those horrors. So tell us more then about what he will be

:36:39. > :36:43.doing there. There is a museum there, where some of what was

:36:44. > :36:54.discovered at Auschwitz has been put on as a memorial. That's right. He

:36:55. > :36:58.has been to see already he has met some camp survivors, including a

:36:59. > :37:05.100-year-old lady who played in the camp orchestra. He has been to the

:37:06. > :37:10.execution wall and he has also prayed in the cell of a Polish

:37:11. > :37:16.Franciscan martyr who took the place of a man condemned to death and died

:37:17. > :37:23.in his place. Now, he is on his way, as I speak, behind me, he is about

:37:24. > :37:29.to arrive in Birkenau, which is three kilometres from Auschwitz, the

:37:30. > :37:34.place where the Nazis built the gas chambers to carry out the holocaust

:37:35. > :37:40.and he is about to mount the steps and he will meet some of the Poles

:37:41. > :37:43.who risked their lives to hide Jews during the war and save Jews during

:37:44. > :37:50.the war. There is a group of those and they're going to be blessed by

:37:51. > :38:00.Pope Francis and I believe he will then make a prayer in front of

:38:01. > :38:07.monument and there will be a psalm by the chief Rabbi of Poland. We

:38:08. > :38:13.won't hear from him today, but he has spoken previously about it and

:38:14. > :38:19.written a book with his views of what happened in which he sort of

:38:20. > :38:24.addressed the question that people ask, where was God. He would say, I

:38:25. > :38:28.would ask you, where was man? That is the question of course which many

:38:29. > :38:36.people and certainly many people at the time in Auschwitz were asking,

:38:37. > :38:39.many devout Jewish people and Christians were asking that

:38:40. > :38:46.question, how can God let this happen, how can he watch over this

:38:47. > :38:50.barbarity which hadn't been seen on a scale like that before. And Pope

:38:51. > :38:58.Francis has addressed this issue in the past. But what, he has decided

:38:59. > :39:03.for his visit today it is not appropriate to talk about that. To

:39:04. > :39:10.make any speeches. The most important thing is to walk in

:39:11. > :39:16.contemplation and prayer and take in the enormity of what took place here

:39:17. > :39:23.and then when you leave Auschwitz you go and tell people what you have

:39:24. > :39:27.seen about the holocaust and so it is alive in people's and people will

:39:28. > :39:32.not forget what happened and that is the approach that Pope Francis has

:39:33. > :39:38.taken for this particular visit. We are seeing pictures of Pope in the

:39:39. > :39:45.Pope Mobile as he makes his way around the death camp and we can see

:39:46. > :39:53.there a number of people gathered. Who this, you mentioned there are

:39:54. > :39:59.survivors. There are some camp survivors here, among them a Polish

:40:00. > :40:03.citizen, who was in the ghetto in the war and he was brought here to

:40:04. > :40:10.Auschwitz and in fact he actually knew what was going to happen,

:40:11. > :40:15.because he had listened to the BBC reports about Auschwitz, because the

:40:16. > :40:21.information had been smuggled out in 1944 and he actually witnessed the

:40:22. > :40:26.horrors of people going into the gas chamber and he knew what was going

:40:27. > :40:32.to happen to them. But he by a stroke of fortune had been selected

:40:33. > :40:37.to carry out work in often wit and he -- Auschwitz and he said there

:40:38. > :40:45.behind me, but the Polish Prime Minister is here, the Polish bishops

:40:46. > :40:53.and the chief Rabbi of Poland. He will read a psalm and he's... There

:40:54. > :40:57.a group of Polish people, who risked their lives to hide Jews during the

:40:58. > :41:03.war. This is different from the rest of Europe. In Poland, the state

:41:04. > :41:07.didn't exist, the Nazis took over completely the state and they

:41:08. > :41:12.actually executed whole families of anybody who was helping Jews. So

:41:13. > :41:16.that is, those people are here and they're hopeful they will be blessed

:41:17. > :41:28.by the Pope in just a few minutes time. And two previous Popes have

:41:29. > :41:36.visited Auschwitz, how important is this visit going to be today? I

:41:37. > :41:45.think when ever a Pope comes to Poland for the first time, that it

:41:46. > :41:53.is, specially they come to Southern Poland and he is visiting Krakow for

:41:54. > :42:02.the World Youth Festival. To come to this area and not visit, the head of

:42:03. > :42:06.Catholic Church and not visit Auschwitz would be unthinkable,

:42:07. > :42:13.given this place represents the holocaust. As you said, 1.1 million

:42:14. > :42:20.people were killed in this camp. One million of them Jews. So I think it

:42:21. > :42:25.would have been unthinkable for Pope Francis to come and... Not to come

:42:26. > :42:32.should I say. As I say, the difference this time I think is that

:42:33. > :42:38.we will have to read into his gestures, because he is not going to

:42:39. > :42:41.say anything. We will have to read into his contemplation and his

:42:42. > :42:48.looks, what his movements and so we won't be able to pour over his

:42:49. > :42:55.words, which was the case with his predecessors, John Paul II and

:42:56. > :42:59.Benedict. That was about 10 years that he was here. In fact I was

:43:00. > :43:06.here. Those moments were significant of course, because that was a Polish

:43:07. > :43:14.Pope and this is Polish territory and in occupied Poland it was during

:43:15. > :43:24.the war and many Polls were killed here. Thank you very much. The Pope

:43:25. > :43:27.is not going to be speaking. He is walking in silence, holding the

:43:28. > :43:34.crucifix around his neck. He said, I would like to go to that place of

:43:35. > :43:39.horror without speeches or crowds, only the people necessary, may the

:43:40. > :43:44.Lord give me the grace to cry. Let's just listen as, or just watch these

:43:45. > :45:40.pictures as the Pope walks in quiet contemplation.

:45:41. > :45:57.The Pope at Birkenau. We can understand some of what goes is

:45:58. > :46:03.going on in his, in the best guestbook in Israel, with shame that

:46:04. > :46:04.man made himself into God and sacrificed his brothers, never

:46:05. > :46:11.again, never again. Do you like to have a drink

:46:18. > :46:19.if we're feeling Or maybe you do it because you're

:46:20. > :46:23.scared of flying? The Government is looking

:46:24. > :46:25.into the way alcohol is sold at airports, to try to reduce

:46:26. > :46:27.the problems caused Some ideas already being tested

:46:28. > :46:31.include a ban on people drinking alcohol they have purchased before

:46:32. > :46:33.the flight, and limits to the amount sold at airport

:46:34. > :46:38.bars and restaurants. We've had a big response

:46:39. > :46:40.from you this morning. Adrian on email: "Why do we have

:46:41. > :46:43.to even consider a change in policy? The percentage of

:46:44. > :46:45.problematic people is tiny. Just make the punishment more severe

:46:46. > :46:47.- ban them from flying Why should millions of people suffer

:46:48. > :46:52.because of a handful of idiots?" R Whitehouse on WhatsApp:

:46:53. > :46:55."If the airlines didn't charge ?7.50 for two small cans of beer

:46:56. > :46:58.on flights, maybe passengers wouldn't fill up before

:46:59. > :47:08.they got on board." Let's discuss this now

:47:09. > :47:19.and in Cheshire, we have aviation Do you think there is a problem? A

:47:20. > :47:23.little bit of a problem, not massive but significant in the sense that if

:47:24. > :47:26.something happens on board a flight it is extremely visible and

:47:27. > :47:42.disruptive passengers on board. To that extent, it is a problem. Phil

:47:43. > :47:47.Watters, the managing director of jet2.com, is there a problem? Yes,

:47:48. > :47:51.we need to educate people about their consumption of our goal before

:47:52. > :47:56.they get an aeroplane. What are your staff sing? People drinking before

:47:57. > :48:00.they arrive at the airport and also drinking early in the morning,

:48:01. > :48:05.particularly before they fly. I think there are lots of people

:48:06. > :48:10.drinking alcohol, unfortunately, you drink it illicitly, who sneak it

:48:11. > :48:17.into Coke bottles all water bottles. The effect of that cumulatively, the

:48:18. > :48:20.more serious effect in the air, when people are in an enclosed

:48:21. > :48:25.environment, and situations can sometimes develop, especially when

:48:26. > :48:30.the effect of alcohol, at 30,000 feet, materialise in different ways.

:48:31. > :48:33.We can bring in a former air stewardess, Mandy Smith. Have you

:48:34. > :48:43.had to deal with difficult passengers? Yes, I have,

:48:44. > :48:47.unfortunately. Quite a few on long haul flights, especially to Las

:48:48. > :48:52.Vegas, stag dos. Are they drunk before they get on board or drinking

:48:53. > :48:56.on-the-fly? Most people are intoxicated before they get to the

:48:57. > :49:02.aircraft, but not so much so we wouldn't allow them on board. It is

:49:03. > :49:08.legal to be drunk on board a plane. On that point, I will come back to

:49:09. > :49:11.win a moment Mandy. But how drunk does someone have to be not to be

:49:12. > :49:16.allowed on a plane in the first place? We have educated all of our

:49:17. > :49:21.staff to try and spot the signs of people being liberated. There are a

:49:22. > :49:24.lot of campaigns we have organised through industry at the airports,

:49:25. > :49:28.with their support, to monitor people before they board the

:49:29. > :49:32.aeroplane. But often it's on passes through the boarding gate within 20

:49:33. > :49:38.or 30 seconds, it is hard to capture everybody when we have people a day

:49:39. > :49:43.flying on jet2.com. We need to try and write that situation as it

:49:44. > :49:48.evolves, before people get on board the aeroplane becomes more serious.

:49:49. > :49:52.Mandy, tell us about some of your worst expenses, what have you seen?

:49:53. > :49:56.Unfortunately I think the gentleman earlier mentioned a lot of people

:49:57. > :50:01.take alcohol illicitly, sneaking the alcohol in their luggage or drinking

:50:02. > :50:05.their own duty free, which is what causes the problem mostly, because

:50:06. > :50:09.we'll how much the passenger is allowed. Some of the problems we've

:50:10. > :50:13.had, I had a gentleman on the way back from Barbados, quite an elderly

:50:14. > :50:18.gentleman. He needed to be restrained. He was very aggressive.

:50:19. > :50:23.We were very concerned for this gentleman, as well as him being

:50:24. > :50:27.drunk he also seemed to be a little stupefied, so he could have taken

:50:28. > :50:32.the sleeping tablet in addition to alcohol, which is usually where the

:50:33. > :50:36.problems arise. Do you get special training, is this just a hazard of

:50:37. > :50:40.the job, do you find it worrying thing to deal with? You are a former

:50:41. > :50:46.stewardess, but is that how you spell? Yes, we are actually SAS

:50:47. > :50:50.trained to restrain passengers in the situation. We are there for the

:50:51. > :50:54.safety of the other passengers around them, because there can be a

:50:55. > :51:00.problem. This is something we get recurrent training for every year,

:51:01. > :51:04.so everyone is up an all of the latest techniques. It is not really

:51:05. > :51:09.worrying, because the one incident I did have, I must admit, it went

:51:10. > :51:14.superbly and everyone did their job and it just flowed and the gentleman

:51:15. > :51:19.himself was restrained within minutes. It actually works really

:51:20. > :51:23.well. The cabin crew do do a fantastic job. The job they do when

:51:24. > :51:29.they are restraining someone is always within the limitations, to

:51:30. > :51:39.make sure they don't harm somebody. I never knew you were all SAS

:51:40. > :51:43.trained before! Phil, do the flight crew get paid extra if they sell

:51:44. > :51:48.out: board? Some have said staff get commission? We do commission for all

:51:49. > :51:57.cabin crew, that is common practice across a lot of airlines at the UK.

:51:58. > :52:00.Why X? Doesn't that give an added incentive to sell alcohol on flights

:52:01. > :52:04.customer yes, we have recently changed our stance on that first we

:52:05. > :52:08.have trained a wall of our colleagues, not just insecurity on

:52:09. > :52:12.the aeroplane but selling responsibly. We have changed our

:52:13. > :52:19.on-board products and modified the selling. We have also trained our

:52:20. > :52:23.cabin crew and they have my full support if they have problems on the

:52:24. > :52:28.aeroplane to deal with the person directly, or the ground crew. On the

:52:29. > :52:31.issue of commission, why not take that element away so there is no

:52:32. > :52:36.sense anybody could suggest is in the interest of the crew to

:52:37. > :52:39.sell-out? It is not just about selling alcohol, we celebrate your

:52:40. > :52:44.product on the aeroplanes. To isolate that one area would not fix

:52:45. > :52:48.the problem. It is a collective issue that has to start before

:52:49. > :52:52.people get on board the aeroplane, before people get to the airport, as

:52:53. > :52:57.well as what happens in the airport during the day. We welcome the

:52:58. > :53:02.Minister's intervention and would like to support that going forward.

:53:03. > :53:06.A couple of things he has suggested, one that passengers could be

:53:07. > :53:10.screened before getting on planes. I am not sure what he means by that.

:53:11. > :53:14.Could you see that working in practice? There are lots of things

:53:15. > :53:18.we could do. There is already a range of things that happen within

:53:19. > :53:21.the airports, together with the airport authorities, the police,

:53:22. > :53:25.ground staff and other staff as well. I think there is a range of

:53:26. > :53:29.items which could be introduced which would better enhance and

:53:30. > :53:36.control the process. Andy, one of the other points raised is selling

:53:37. > :53:41.alcohol in sealed bags at duty-free it has been trialled. How widely

:53:42. > :53:45.does happen? It is something relatively new. A lot of overseas

:53:46. > :53:50.airports. There is less common in the UK. The UK's trialling it. The

:53:51. > :53:56.aviation sector has got together to put together a code of conduct, to

:53:57. > :54:01.try and address that. One of the is an selling alcohol in sealed bags,

:54:02. > :54:04.which has to be a good idea, it reduces the chance people will then

:54:05. > :54:08.unsealed the bag and pour the alcohol into their drinks. It won't

:54:09. > :54:15.stop it, but if you make my life more difficult... A lot of this is

:54:16. > :54:18.about educating passengers, so they understand is totally unacceptable

:54:19. > :54:24.to do this. He says he doesn't want to kill merriment altogether. Where

:54:25. > :54:28.do you strike a balance? Mandy, is it easy to see where the balance is

:54:29. > :54:34.struck when you are flying? Very much so. We don't want to be party

:54:35. > :54:39.bloopers, but at the end of the day, the reality of the fact is you are

:54:40. > :54:47.flying in a pressurised metal tube, at 35,000 feet, so the pressure is

:54:48. > :54:52.then brought down to 6000 feet. If you hike that on our content, you

:54:53. > :54:55.would still feel the rest but for problems, the dehydration and

:54:56. > :55:01.hypoxic would set in, that is why we have a 2-1 ratio. A single shot is

:55:02. > :55:11.normally the equivalent effect on your body to two alcoholic shots.

:55:12. > :55:15.And how to other passengers around react when you have these problems

:55:16. > :55:20.on board? Most passengers are quite sensible, but in my experience the

:55:21. > :55:26.odd one or two take a bit too far and spoil the fun everyone else.

:55:27. > :55:30.Phil Mickelson, do you think this is an issue that needs to be addressed

:55:31. > :55:36.when mostly the issues we talk about around flights are security? I do,

:55:37. > :55:39.we have recognised in this industry, I don't think the industry would

:55:40. > :55:45.have come together in the last year to do something about this if it

:55:46. > :55:49.wasn't a concern to all of us. For example, there might be a few

:55:50. > :55:54.recurrences with certain people, but every flight it happens on is

:55:55. > :56:00.affecting 200 customers' journey. We don't want it to spoil peoples

:56:01. > :56:03.holidays journeys they have saved up for a long time. Why should the few

:56:04. > :56:09.people spoil the experience for them? Andy, Lord Ahmed has been

:56:10. > :56:13.talking about this but there is not review announced, do you think there

:56:14. > :56:16.should be won and it likely? I think there should be and I would like to

:56:17. > :56:21.think government would take this issue series they. The aviation

:56:22. > :56:24.industry has come together to put together a voluntary code of

:56:25. > :56:35.conduct, which is a great start but it needs the back-up of the

:56:36. > :56:40.government. The police are allowed to charge the individuals, but it

:56:41. > :56:42.needs firm action by the police and authorities. Thank you all very

:56:43. > :56:48.much. Let us know your thoughts. She's made history as First Lady,

:56:49. > :56:52.Senator, Secretary of State and now We'll take a closer look

:56:53. > :57:14.at Hillary Clinton and her chances 1949, the first ever weather

:57:15. > :57:18.forecast. Even I am not old enough to know if we got it right or not.

:57:19. > :57:24.Hopefully I will get this right. A fairly straightforward picture. A

:57:25. > :57:27.beauty photograph from earlier in County Donegal. Lots of sunshine in

:57:28. > :57:30.Northern Ireland that much of Scotland as well. Not so

:57:31. > :57:34.straightforward in England and Wales. A weather front is pushing

:57:35. > :57:39.its way down from northern England into Northern Wales and some showery

:57:40. > :57:46.outbursts of rain. Further south, some cloud and there will be some

:57:47. > :57:50.showers as well. Quite a mixture as we go into the afternoon. If you're

:57:51. > :57:54.going to Goodwood, don't rule out a shower in the Sussex Downs.

:57:55. > :57:58.Hopefully most of southern England will stay dry and in the sunshine it

:57:59. > :58:02.will stay quite humid. Up into the low 20s where there is sunshine.

:58:03. > :58:06.This weather front will be pushing down into parts of Wales, the

:58:07. > :58:10.Midlands and East Anglia. To the north of that, the odd shower

:58:11. > :58:14.possible but sunshine in northern England, Northern Ireland and

:58:15. > :58:21.Scotland. Away from the North West of Scotland, that is. The far north

:58:22. > :58:26.they will have a few showers. Car Fest is looking good through

:58:27. > :58:28.Saturday and Sunday, a lot of fine weather to enjoy and temperatures

:58:29. > :58:32.feeling comfortable. This evening and overnight, far north, further

:58:33. > :58:41.showers. The weather front bringing showers in the Midlands.

:58:42. > :58:46.Temperatures will be kept up here, but further north, turning and in

:58:47. > :58:50.rural spots it could breach get down to single figures. Still some

:58:51. > :58:53.showers across the North West of Scotland on a cool breeze. Some

:58:54. > :58:56.showers affecting northern and western areas, but hopefully where

:58:57. > :59:02.you are you will avoid most of these and it will stay fine and pleasantly

:59:03. > :59:06.warm. In the south, low to mid-20. Not as humid and feeling fresher

:59:07. > :59:11.further north and west. That brings me to tomorrow night when I think it

:59:12. > :59:14.will turn particular the chilly. In rural areas, a word of caution if

:59:15. > :59:20.you are out camping, temperatures could get down to as low as three or

:59:21. > :59:23.5 degrees, for example in the Glens of Scotland. But it will soon warm

:59:24. > :59:28.up again with a lot of sunshine to enjoy on Sunday. Most of the showers

:59:29. > :59:32.in the northern and western areas, the North of Scotland catches the

:59:33. > :59:37.lion share of those showers, on a cool and brisk north wind. To start

:59:38. > :59:42.this weekend, pretty optimistic. Plenty of sunshine. Many of us will

:59:43. > :59:47.be dry. There will be a few showers around. And yes, reminded those

:59:48. > :59:51.nights will be particularly chilly to stop the outlook into the early

:59:52. > :59:55.part of next week, things turning unsettled again with some rain

:59:56. > :59:57.spreading in from the West, welcomed rain for some gardens who haven't

:59:58. > :00:07.had much for a long time. It is Friday and ten o'clock.

:00:08. > :00:11.Welcome to the programme if you have just joined us.

:05:14. > :05:18.suffer panic attacks, a few drinks calms me down. Getting drunk is

:05:19. > :05:28.unacceptable, but having a few drinks is part of journey. Alex said

:05:29. > :05:34.I used to fly frequently the cabin crew would give passengers four

:09:53. > :09:55.have become disillusioned Our political guru Norman Smith has

:09:56. > :10:22.been to Leeds to find out. Greetings from Leeds, the lovely old

:10:23. > :10:26.covered Victorian market. In towns and cities like this, something odd

:10:27. > :10:30.is going on politically speaking. Conventional wisdom is that people

:10:31. > :10:37.just aren't interested in party politics. They don't join parties.

:10:38. > :10:41.Yet, over the past year or so there has been an explosion in membership

:10:42. > :10:46.of the Labour Party. In Leeds membership has more than tripled in

:10:47. > :10:51.12 months. So what is going on? Hi, are you a member of Labour Party? I

:10:52. > :10:55.caught up with some of the the new members at one of their regular

:10:56. > :11:01.street stalls in the centre of the city. Many have never been involved

:11:02. > :11:07.in politics before it seems. So who are they? I'm a trade union Rep. I'm

:11:08. > :11:14.the CEOO charity. Jane Ingham, I'm 64 and a retired

:11:15. > :11:16.special school headteacher. In a nearby cafe I sat down

:11:17. > :11:19.with some of these new members to find out why they had joined

:11:20. > :11:23.and it is clear the main reason I remember when Corbyn was elected,

:11:24. > :11:30.John McDonnell said that he had waited all his life to see

:11:31. > :11:32.a socialist leader I hadn't, I never expected that

:11:33. > :11:36.to happen, but when I saw that, I recognised it and I thought this

:11:37. > :11:40.is a massive opportunity for working people in this country,

:11:41. > :11:42.I want to be part of it, I want to make Jeremy Corbyn our

:11:43. > :11:47.Prime Minister. I think his principal

:11:48. > :11:49.stand and his commitment are an inspiration to young people

:11:50. > :11:53.very definitely, but We have seen that this morning

:11:54. > :12:01.in Leeds in the city centre. It has given me a kind of new lease

:12:02. > :12:05.of life as far as politics go. I'm not an armchair

:12:06. > :12:14.socialist any more. He is unlike no one and to me

:12:15. > :12:17.that is what is great about him and he doesn't keep

:12:18. > :12:19.up with the Joneses, He's not everyone's cup of tea

:12:20. > :12:27.but that is because no one should be Only people who care

:12:28. > :12:30.about the minorities or disadvantaged communities should

:12:31. > :12:32.be the ones in power. He's actually shown he has

:12:33. > :12:36.got his finger on the pulse in a way that unfortunately a lot

:12:37. > :12:38.of the Parliamentary Labour Party and a lot of people

:12:39. > :12:40.in the Labour Party over They say there is nothing more

:12:41. > :12:46.powerful than an idea whose time has We are having a perfectly pleasant

:12:47. > :12:51.coffee here but you know that there are claims

:12:52. > :12:53.that there is abuse, Do you think that is made up

:12:54. > :12:59.or where does that come from? There have been horrible things that

:13:00. > :13:02.have gone on, they haven't actually been linked to Momentum or members

:13:03. > :13:05.of the Labour Party. I think there is an attempt to try

:13:06. > :13:08.and basically smear not just Jeremy Corbyn himself,

:13:09. > :13:13.but everyone who supports him. If there was any evidence

:13:14. > :13:16.of it, we would stop it. Jane is a retired headmistress,

:13:17. > :13:21.she would stamp it out. We wouldn't stand there

:13:22. > :13:26.and allow that to happen. You can see the power behind Jeremy

:13:27. > :13:30.and that can intimidate most people. When you see someone who comes

:13:31. > :13:33.to does not tick your box, You will be scared because you are

:13:34. > :13:38.realising that your power They do feel threatened,

:13:39. > :13:42.but they do not feel threatened What we are is we are representing

:13:43. > :13:49.change and Jeremy represents a huge change and that threatens

:13:50. > :13:53.their very cosy position. But how do long-established party

:13:54. > :13:56.members view this sudden influx? Les, a former miner,

:13:57. > :13:58.and Melvin are stalwarts In the past probably three or four

:13:59. > :14:08.of us used to go around slogging in the streets doing leaflets,

:14:09. > :14:10.but now we've got Hopefully they are not going to be

:14:11. > :14:14.fair weather members, they are going to be

:14:15. > :14:17.with us for a long time In my constituency the people who

:14:18. > :14:26.move into it are new to politics. They have never been a member

:14:27. > :14:29.of a political party before and in that sense they are quite

:14:30. > :14:33.naive but they are trying to learn and understand how

:14:34. > :14:35.party politics work. This glorious Victorian swimming

:14:36. > :14:40.pool in West Leeds was saved after a local outcry and the concern

:14:41. > :14:43.of some older Labour members is that the new Corbynistas

:14:44. > :14:45.just aren't interested I finished as an MP,

:14:46. > :14:54.I just about retired from the job and someone rings up and says

:14:55. > :14:57.the council is shutting Bramley We could have stopped

:14:58. > :15:00.there and shouted at the council save the baths,

:15:01. > :15:03.we are protest group. We met in order to try

:15:04. > :15:08.to say we want it better. I think it is the fact that change

:15:09. > :15:12.is taking place and a lot of people are still uncertain just quite

:15:13. > :15:15.what that change means and what it There is also a fear of a split

:15:16. > :15:24.opening up in the party. I am more anxious about the massive

:15:25. > :15:30.rift between elected representatives, whether they are

:15:31. > :15:32.councillors or MPs, I think for the Labour Party

:15:33. > :15:38.it is a very risky time, I would hope that people can calm

:15:39. > :15:43.down the rhetoric a little bit and say we can think

:15:44. > :15:45.of alternatives, and together There are those persistent reports

:15:46. > :15:53.of abuse, intolerance of non-Corbyn supporters,

:15:54. > :15:55.and even one local Labour MP was so anxious about the tensions

:15:56. > :15:59.in his local party he didn't Another who would is Richard Burgon,

:16:00. > :16:09.a key Corbyn ally. You know there have been persistent

:16:10. > :16:17.reports of intolerance, It is important that

:16:18. > :16:24.all Labour Party members It is completely inappropriate

:16:25. > :16:31.for Labour MPs, or any MP from any party, to be subjected

:16:32. > :16:32.to threatening behaviour. What I also say is it is important

:16:33. > :16:36.that Labour MPs respect and treat with respect party members

:16:37. > :16:42.and new party members as well. Are you saying, or do you think,

:16:43. > :16:45.some Labour MPs are seeking to smear, frankly,

:16:46. > :16:48.Corbyn supporters? I am not going to stand by and watch

:16:49. > :16:52.hundreds of thousands of new members demonised as thugs,

:16:53. > :16:56.misogynists, brick throwers and bullies because that is

:16:57. > :17:00.simply not the case. I've met fabulous new members

:17:01. > :17:04.of the Labour Party, both young and old,

:17:05. > :17:07.who are motivated by one thing only, getting a Labour government,

:17:08. > :17:09.getting rid of the Conservatives I think it is wrong

:17:10. > :17:12.to demonise those hundreds And what of the threat

:17:13. > :17:18.of deselection and getting rid I am not frightened of mentioning

:17:19. > :17:25.the word deselection but I think In the past Labour MPs

:17:26. > :17:29.have been deselected, it sometimes happens,

:17:30. > :17:34.it is nothing unheard of. But we should not be focusing

:17:35. > :17:37.on some kind of witch If during the last Labour election,

:17:38. > :17:44.if Yvette Cooper had been elected, if Liz Kendall had been elected,

:17:45. > :17:46.if Andy Burnham had been elected, it may have been the case that

:17:47. > :17:49.I would have had disagreements on this or that policy,

:17:50. > :17:52.but I would never have tried Back in the Roots and Fruits Cafe no

:17:53. > :17:58.one mentions the D word, deselection, but the warning

:17:59. > :18:02.signs are clear. Actually if there are people

:18:03. > :18:06.who are uncomfortable or who do not like the politics, it is perfectly

:18:07. > :18:09.legitimate for local members in their area to choose

:18:10. > :18:12.who they want as their candidate This is being treated like if it's

:18:13. > :18:26.some kind of horrible, terrible thing, but the Labour Party

:18:27. > :18:29.is a party of its members. To see the people we know have power

:18:30. > :18:33.fight like little kids and play with our lives and tell us

:18:34. > :18:36.that our voice and influence does not count because they are so used

:18:37. > :18:39.to that power, is ridiculous. It is ridiculous and shameful,

:18:40. > :18:41.regardless of whoever, Come behind Jeremy Corbyn

:18:42. > :18:48.and actually be actively supporting If the vote goes for Jeremy,

:18:49. > :18:55.as it seems it is most likely to do, If you are a Labour MP you can be

:18:56. > :19:01.opposed to Jeremy Corbyn if you want to be, but where I think

:19:02. > :19:05.it has become unacceptable is that some of them appear to be opposed

:19:06. > :19:08.to their own Labour Party members Of course there have been surges

:19:09. > :19:15.in Labour membership before. The last time was under Tony Blair

:19:16. > :19:18.and he went on to win three This time, however, the surge under

:19:19. > :19:25.Mr Corbyn is frankly proving much more troublesome and divisive

:19:26. > :19:30.with many Labour MPs fearful that these new members risk turning

:19:31. > :19:33.Labour from a political party And Victoria will be hosting one

:19:34. > :19:47.of the official Labour leadership hustings with Jeremy Corbyn

:19:48. > :19:49.and Owen Smith in If you would like the chance to be

:19:56. > :19:57.is offering safe corridors out of the besieged city of Aleppo -

:19:58. > :19:59.after months of fighting. The move, backed by Russia,

:21:38. > :21:53.antibiotics, pain medications. They can't give really

:21:54. > :21:56.powerful pain medications because they don't have much of it,

:21:57. > :21:59.most of what they have is Tylenol That is the experience of one

:22:00. > :22:50.mother. We can talk now to Firas Al-Khateeb

:22:51. > :23:05.from the UN's Refugee Agency We are also hoping to speak to

:23:06. > :23:11.civilian living in Aleppo on an English teacher. Firas, what do you

:23:12. > :23:17.think about these corridors? Is it the way of getting anything in that,

:23:18. > :23:27.if people want to stay? The UN has a standard position on this. In

:23:28. > :23:36.partial and unconditional taxes to overseas locations. Offer a chance

:23:37. > :23:41.for people to voluntarily leave and aid to come in and for UN and

:23:42. > :23:45.humanitarian workers to go in and assist the situation and deliver

:23:46. > :23:54.life-saving aid, then we welcome that. But we have always asked for a

:23:55. > :24:01.lifting of beseeching and and continuous access. Stay with us. We

:24:02. > :24:08.can bring in someone who works at a hospital in Aleppo right now, Dr

:24:09. > :24:11.Hamza, thank you for joining us. What is the situation there for you

:24:12. > :24:19.and what do you think about the potential escape route? Can you

:24:20. > :24:27.repeat the question? Tell us what it is like in Aleppo for you right now?

:24:28. > :24:43.The medical situation is pretty bad here. Since we can't transfer any

:24:44. > :24:50.patients... If anyone needs advanced medical care... We now have... The

:24:51. > :25:00.amount of bombing and shelling all over the city, everywhere, that

:25:01. > :25:13.makes a huge number of injuries and operations. Each hospital received

:25:14. > :25:21.more than 50 injuries each day. Each hospital performs roughly eight

:25:22. > :25:32.operations each day. Despite that, the idea of being targeted any

:25:33. > :25:38.moment by forces, it is terrifying. So there is now this offer of an

:25:39. > :25:43.escape route, the corridors that are being opened to allow people to

:25:44. > :25:49.leave Aleppo. Is that something you would take up? Do you know many

:25:50. > :25:58.people who would take it up? Actually, we don't believe that that

:25:59. > :26:06.thing may happen. As a person, and as an activist, and as a doctor, I

:26:07. > :26:10.hope they would let anyone who doesn't want to stay in Aleppo under

:26:11. > :26:19.the circumstances to leave. But I think the regime oil and keep those

:26:20. > :26:28.promises. We have heard many stories about cities... Hom 's as Beyonce

:26:29. > :26:41.Fest 700 days and there was no safe except. -- has been safe for 700

:26:42. > :26:50.days. A person learns from other stories. We see other cities, seized

:26:51. > :26:59.by the regime, and there are no safe exits at all. We have a teacher

:27:08. > :27:14.Wissam question Wratt -- joining us from a rebel held area.

:27:15. > :27:30.And it is more difficult, but some people can handle that. Are there

:27:31. > :27:37.many people still in the city? What signs are there of any sort of

:27:38. > :27:43.normal life? What does a standard they look like? In the morning I was

:27:44. > :27:49.at the University, where there were exams. Life is going on, but like

:27:50. > :27:58.the medical situation, it is a bit difficult, because all the hospitals

:27:59. > :28:03.are being targeted now. Like food, it is getting less and less,

:28:04. > :28:14.especially basic needs, like sugar and butter. But people are trying to

:28:15. > :28:19.go on with what is happening around. People say they fear starving to

:28:20. > :28:28.death if they stay or being taken prisoner if they leave. How do you

:28:29. > :28:34.see the options going forward? We don't want that option to leave,

:28:35. > :28:44.because that means we will be kicked out of our land. The regime are

:28:45. > :28:49.saying there will be corridors as a favour, we don't want that. We want

:28:50. > :28:54.food to come through, not people to go out. Firas, do you think it is

:28:55. > :29:02.likely there will be a way of getting food and other supplies into

:29:03. > :29:11.Aleppo? The UN has called for humanitarian passage to allow

:29:12. > :29:15.delivery of aid, to allow humanitarian workers to go there and

:29:16. > :29:22.assess the needs and allow for cross-border delivery of aid. That

:29:23. > :29:27.would be the way... Thank you, thank you very much. Good to talk to you

:29:28. > :29:29.all. Sometimes the lines are dropping out, which is

:29:30. > :29:34.understandable where you are talking to us from. Thank you very much

:34:08. > :34:08.opens today at the Royal London Hospital.

:34:09. > :34:11.The NHS specialist clinic will be available to women across the UK.

:34:12. > :34:14.Earlier we spoke to Pavan Amara, who set up the clinic and founded

:34:15. > :34:20.the "My Body Back" project to support victims of rape.

:34:21. > :34:25.This is a project I started because of my own experience

:34:26. > :34:30.but since then it has come on to be about lots of other women who have

:34:31. > :34:35.been in contact with us and the real reason I am doing this

:34:36. > :34:38.is because of the experiences I have heard that women have told me

:34:39. > :34:41.about who come to our project and tell me how difficult

:34:42. > :34:44.it was to go through pregnancy and labour as someone who had

:34:45. > :34:47.experienced sexual assault or rape in the past.

:34:48. > :34:49.There just was not enough support out there.

:34:50. > :34:53.The reason why I started the project was essentially that.

:34:54. > :34:56.Just tell us why it is particularly so difficult for somebody who has

:34:57. > :34:58.been raped or sexually assaulted in the past when they go

:34:59. > :35:06.Essentially it's because many women feel that when they were assaulted

:35:07. > :35:10.initially, or when they were raped, they were completely out of control

:35:11. > :35:13.with their body and when they become pregnant they feel they have moved

:35:14. > :35:16.on from what has happened a lot of the time.

:35:17. > :35:20.It is 10 years afterwards, 5 years afterwards, they have had

:35:21. > :35:23.lots of counselling from rape crisis centres, they are back at work,

:35:24. > :35:26.doing what everybody would consider normal things and living a normal

:35:27. > :35:30.life and having relationships again, but when they become pregnant

:35:31. > :35:34.the whole idea of being out of control of your body again

:35:35. > :35:39.with strangers touching you, of not being in control at all,

:35:40. > :35:41.things like vaginal examinations, even the very fact you are

:35:42. > :35:45.experiencing contractions and you have no say

:35:46. > :35:48.what is happening physically with that because it is nature

:35:49. > :35:53.taking control instead, that makes a woman really vulnerable.

:35:54. > :35:56.What lots of women were saying to me who have come to my project,

:35:57. > :35:58.they were saying that basically they were experiencing

:35:59. > :36:05.loss of flashbacks to the actual assault itself.

:36:06. > :36:08.For the first time in 10 years, 5 years, 20 years at times

:36:09. > :36:13.they were out of control physically once more.

:36:14. > :36:15.Little things would trigger them as well, seemingly little things,

:36:16. > :36:22.So when health professionals were carrying out vaginal

:36:23. > :36:24.examinations without proper consent, or when a health professional

:36:25. > :36:34.There was one woman and she was told by a nurse who said, if you relax,

:36:35. > :36:43.That is actually what that woman's rapist had said to her,

:36:44. > :36:46.so without realising it and without at all wanting to be

:36:47. > :36:51.unhelpful or upset this woman, her health professional had upset her.

:36:52. > :36:54.But not just that it triggered lots of flashbacks

:36:55. > :37:00.After that she felt that not only had she had a very difficult

:37:01. > :37:03.time of it in hospital, but she could not access postnatal

:37:04. > :37:06.support either because the whole idea of being in hospital

:37:07. > :37:08.she associated with being raped again because of that lack

:37:09. > :37:15.Then she wasn't going to breastfeeding classes,

:37:16. > :37:18.she wasn't going to postnatal classes and that led to her feeling

:37:19. > :37:21.really guilty that she wasn't giving her baby the proper support

:37:22. > :37:24.he needed, so it became this really vicious cycle and I felt we needed

:37:25. > :37:34.Hillary Clinton has formally accepted the Democratic Party's

:37:35. > :37:36.presidential nomination - becoming the first female

:37:37. > :37:41.presidential nominee from a major party in the United States.

:37:42. > :37:44.Speaking on the final night of the party's national

:37:45. > :37:47.convention in Philadelphia, she promised to make

:37:48. > :37:50.the United States a country that worked for everyone -

:37:51. > :37:52.telling delegates she believed powerful forces were threatening

:37:53. > :38:00.So, my friends, it is with humility, determination and boundless

:38:01. > :38:02.confidence in America's promise that I accept your nomination for

:38:03. > :38:30.She said the country was facing a moment of reckoning.

:38:31. > :38:32.I'm voting for a fighter who never, ever gives

:38:33. > :38:34.up, and who believes that

:38:35. > :38:41.we can always do better when we come together and we work together.

:38:42. > :38:44.I hope that my children will someday be as proud of me

:38:45. > :38:52.Hillary Clinton appealed to voters to trust her

:38:53. > :38:54.experience and judgement in November's presidential election.

:38:55. > :38:56.The latest polls suggest she's pretty much neck-and-neck

:38:57. > :39:00.with the Republican candidate, the billionaire

:39:01. > :39:04.Mrs Clinton had this assessment of her Republican opponent.

:39:05. > :39:12.He wants to divide us from the rest of the world and from each other.

:39:13. > :39:19.He's betting that the perils of today's world will blind us to its

:39:20. > :39:24.unlimited promise. He's taken the Republican Party a long way. From

:39:25. > :39:28.morning in America to midnight in America.

:39:29. > :39:30.Here is Jeremy Shapiro, a friend of Hillary Clinton

:39:31. > :39:33.who worked with for two years in the State Department.

:39:34. > :39:36.And on Skype we've got a collection of Democrat voters Stateside.

:39:37. > :39:37.Those who are staunch Hillary Clinton supporters

:39:38. > :39:41.including Randy Cushman, and Jonathan Cahn in Washington.

:39:42. > :39:43.We also have Marcy Kindred in Indiana - a supporter

:39:44. > :39:49.of Bernie Sanders, who says she won't vote for Hillary.

:39:50. > :40:00.Thank you for joining us. Jeremy, were you pleased with with the

:40:01. > :40:06.speech? . I was it showed a forceful case for why she should be

:40:07. > :40:11.president. Some polling showed that 47% of registered voters strongly

:40:12. > :40:16.dislike Hillary Clinton, for Donald Trump it is 49%. Is it a contest

:40:17. > :40:21.where it will be about who people dislike the least? There is an

:40:22. > :40:28.element of that. There is an element of that in every recent election,

:40:29. > :40:32.because the machines of the parties whip up dislike of each candidate

:40:33. > :40:37.and it is more extreme in this election, but it is not out of norm.

:40:38. > :40:41.What any presidential election is in the United States is a choice and

:40:42. > :40:47.sadly you are voting as much against someone as for someone. Does

:40:48. > :40:53.likability matter? Yeah, it matters in the race obviously. People like

:40:54. > :40:57.to like their president. It doesn't matter that much for governance

:40:58. > :41:01.what. We are seeing and what Hillary Clinton has been emphasising is that

:41:02. > :41:04.people like her when she is governing and don't tend to like her

:41:05. > :41:10.when she is running. Some of the things that have been said about

:41:11. > :41:19.her, in terms of the criticism are it runs along the lines of self

:41:20. > :41:24.righteous, she has been mocked as St Hilary. She inspires a strong

:41:25. > :41:29.reaction against her in a lot of people. How do you see her, you have

:41:30. > :41:33.worked with her? I see her differently. I note that generally

:41:34. > :41:38.people who have worked with her see her completely differently. To be

:41:39. > :41:44.working with her is to see someone who is deeply dedicated to the work

:41:45. > :41:51.of the nation, who most impressively for someone of her positions works

:41:52. > :41:54.hard, listens to people, makes difficult judgments, taking in all

:41:55. > :41:59.of the possible information. I would have to say it is intimidating in a

:42:00. > :42:03.way to walk into a room where someone who is the Secretary of

:42:04. > :42:08.State and have them know their brief more than you do, although she has

:42:09. > :42:14.the whole world and you just have one or two issues and that person to

:42:15. > :42:18.take seriously what you say and reach judgments that seem considered

:42:19. > :42:22.and difficult and may be go against her preconceptions. I saw her do

:42:23. > :42:26.that several times. I didn't always agree with her. Often I didn't agree

:42:27. > :42:31.with her. I think that will be true if she is president. What I gained

:42:32. > :42:36.in working with her and I have to say I started off as an President

:42:37. > :42:43.Obama appointee, what I gained is a lot of faith in her judgment, in her

:42:44. > :42:46.hard work and in the fact that she listens more than almost any

:42:47. > :42:55.principal I knew in the government. Let's bring in some of the voters.

:42:56. > :43:02.Marsy, your a Bernie Sanders support, in fact you have a Bernie

:43:03. > :43:07.Sanders tattoo? You will not vote for Hillary Clinton, why not? Can't

:43:08. > :43:15.in good conscience vote for either of the major candidates now. Because

:43:16. > :43:19.as you can see with the Wikileaks that came out, a lot of Bernie

:43:20. > :43:25.supporters suspected that the primaries were rigged. Now we know.

:43:26. > :43:31.And I don't think that I could in good conscience really put my vote

:43:32. > :43:36.somewhere where it wasn't wanted in the first place. So you will not

:43:37. > :43:43.vote for your party, because of these issues? I can't. I guess a lot

:43:44. > :43:46.of people think that voting for a third party is throwing your vote

:43:47. > :43:52.away or voting for the candidate you don't want. But in my opinion, I

:43:53. > :43:59.would rather vote for something I do want and not get it than vote for

:44:00. > :44:03.something I don't want and get it. Randy, you're a long time Hillary

:44:04. > :44:10.Clinton supporters, what do you particularly like about Hillary

:44:11. > :44:18.Clinton? Well, I, she has been a life long democrat, she has been

:44:19. > :44:24.since graduating from college an advocate for children and dedicated

:44:25. > :44:31.her life to public service and to the rights of all citizens, be they

:44:32. > :44:39.Republican or democrat and I find it curious that people such as the

:44:40. > :44:44.other guest who says she can't vote for Hillary Clinton, when I press

:44:45. > :44:49.folks they cannot point to one fact or charge or one indictment if you

:44:50. > :44:56.will, their impression is that they don't trust her. But they can't

:44:57. > :45:01.point to a reason why. As far as these Wikileak e-mails, these were

:45:02. > :45:05.not written by staff members of Hillary Clinton's and she had no

:45:06. > :45:11.control over what these people write in their e-mails any more than she

:45:12. > :45:13.has over what I write in my e-mails. If that is the standard we are all

:45:14. > :45:25.in trouble. Jonathan, will you support Hillary

:45:26. > :45:30.Clinton? Unreservedly and in the easier sticky. I will say a couple

:45:31. > :45:36.of things. First, although I have never met the secretary, she is a

:45:37. > :45:45.man who in our family we've had enormous admiration for the decades.

:45:46. > :45:50.We have a lot riding on this election, there is a lot of

:45:51. > :45:53.unfinished business in the civil rights movement and we need to go

:45:54. > :45:59.for a fighting and we have that in Hillary. -- for a fighter. Could you

:46:00. > :46:06.hear what Randy was saying? Respond to it? I'm sorry, which speaker?

:46:07. > :46:13.Randy was saying about the fact whenever he is some saying they

:46:14. > :46:18.can't vote for Hillary like you do, says there is never a factual

:46:19. > :46:27.reason. That the WikiLeaks argument is not fair or valid? Unfortunately,

:46:28. > :46:30.I don't agree with him. It's not just Hillary Clinton, it would be

:46:31. > :46:37.the same with any other candidate. I cannot vote for a party where I feel

:46:38. > :46:41.I've been cheated out of. I just turned 18 this year and made the

:46:42. > :46:45.primary date for voting by day. I have never been more enthusiastic

:46:46. > :46:50.all excited about voting in my country. I feel like I was cheated

:46:51. > :46:55.out of my vote. Jeremy, quick and final thought from you, do you think

:46:56. > :46:59.she can do it? I think so, but I think it will be a very hard race. I

:47:00. > :47:02.think she will, but it will be a hard race and we shouldn't take

:47:03. > :47:07.anything for granted. I think every vote will matter and I think

:47:08. > :47:12.supporters should consider that the only two choices here are every

:47:13. > :47:15.Contador Donald Trump and if you don't vote for Hillary Clinton, you

:47:16. > :47:17.are accepting the positivity of Donald Trump. Thank you all very

:47:18. > :47:22.much. -- the possibility. Josh Coombes is a trained

:48:03. > :48:05.gear in my backpack, and when I'm walking through London,

:48:06. > :48:07.when I see somebody who is on the street,

:48:08. > :48:10.I approach them, tell them who I am, what I want to do for them,

:48:11. > :48:13.and if they want their hair cut, then I'm ready with my scissors

:48:14. > :48:16.to give them a makeover. I reckon that is get rid

:48:17. > :48:25.of all of those ends. You don't get many people

:48:33. > :48:37.and giving them some pocket change didn't really accomplish all that

:48:38. > :48:40.much to me any more, so I was looking for a way

:48:41. > :48:42.to connect with people, Using social media is a powerful

:48:43. > :48:52.thing to try and broadcast I don't think that's

:48:53. > :48:57.a bad thing to admit to, I take inspiration from a lot

:48:58. > :49:00.of people, but I also want to inspire others

:49:01. > :49:05.to do good things. It's quite an intimate interaction

:49:06. > :49:08.I give as a hairdresser, to somebody, so it's also

:49:09. > :49:11.about the superficial side of it, making somebody feel a bit

:49:12. > :49:14.fresher and a bit sharper. But equally it's me connecting

:49:15. > :49:17.with them on a human level That's the miracle bag,

:49:18. > :49:23.the magic bag, the Mary Poppins bag. It's my Mary Poppins

:49:27. > :49:29.I carry around all my gear in... I can't believe it, how you can just

:49:30. > :49:32.do hair, just quickly, Sometimes when I'm doing this,

:49:33. > :49:36.it's not very long before you end up with quite a few people

:50:09. > :50:12.I can fare with the rest I might not have looked after myself

:50:13. > :50:17.for the last little while, but I can go for that job interview,

:50:18. > :50:20.or I can walk into that place Born at just 24 weeks,

:50:21. > :50:41.Sophie Proud was for a long time Britain's youngest

:50:42. > :50:44.surviving premature baby. Now 20 years on, the Teesside

:50:45. > :50:46.University student has started a student placement -

:50:47. > :50:49.as a nurse - at that very same unit at Newcastle's

:50:50. > :50:57.Royal Victoria Infirmary. Where she spent so long as a

:50:58. > :51:00.brand-new newborn. One of the staff members

:51:01. > :51:02.at the neonatal unit He was a registrar back in 1996

:51:03. > :51:06.when Sophie was born He worked with the family,

:51:07. > :51:10.caring for Sophie over the 16 weeks they remained in hospital and has

:51:11. > :51:13.kept in touch with her since. He still works in that unit,

:51:14. > :51:50.now with Sophie by his side. We can now speak to Sophie, her mum

:51:51. > :51:54.and the consultant who was with Sophie at the hospital when she was

:51:55. > :51:57.born, and they have kept in touch ever since. It is great to have you

:51:58. > :52:05.on the programme, thank you for joining us. Nick, it must be amazing

:52:06. > :52:07.to see the woman standing next to you, was just that tiny, vulnerable

:52:08. > :52:18.baby 20 years ago? Yes, it is incredible, to think back

:52:19. > :52:22.all those 20 years ago and think how small she was, and then to have her

:52:23. > :52:28.standing here beside us now and even working on the unit, its almost mind

:52:29. > :52:33.blowing, I suppose, in some ways. Because of technical issues Sophie

:52:34. > :52:41.cannot hear my questions directly. Can you please ask her how she feels

:52:42. > :52:46.being there and working on the unit? I love it, it's a dream come true. I

:52:47. > :52:50.work with the doctors and nurses who saved my life and I love working

:52:51. > :52:57.alongside them. Is it something you always wanted to do? Is it something

:52:58. > :53:02.you always wanted to do? Yes. I wish wanted to give something back to the

:53:03. > :53:07.unit and I worked hard to raise money for the charity that is the

:53:08. > :53:13.special care baby unit. Being here and working with them is my way of

:53:14. > :53:18.giving something back. I am not sure if you can hear me to Regli, but if

:53:19. > :53:24.you can hear me, how are you feeling right now? You were there 20 years

:53:25. > :53:30.ago, fearful that your daughter was in such a vulnerable position and

:53:31. > :53:36.here you are back there today seeing a working in the very same unit? It

:53:37. > :53:40.is very emotions. Having a very premature baby is very difficult.

:53:41. > :53:43.All your maternal instincts are there that you can't do it, can't

:53:44. > :53:48.feed, Bath or look after them properly. You have to hand them over

:53:49. > :53:53.to doctors or nurses to do that for you. So to see Sophie's outcome

:53:54. > :53:57.today is absolutely amazing, especially 20 years ago. Our family

:53:58. > :54:01.are always very grateful to Mick and his team for everything they have

:54:02. > :54:07.done. Tell us more about the challenges Sophie faced when she was

:54:08. > :54:11.born? She only weighed ?1 and seven ounces and at the time she was born

:54:12. > :54:20.at 24 weeks and no other baby had survived at that stage previously.

:54:21. > :54:23.Nick and probably answer easier than either choose difficult to ventilate

:54:24. > :54:30.and had lots of issues with infections. She needed operations on

:54:31. > :54:36.her eyes and she had a problem with her hand, her hand went black. That

:54:37. > :54:42.was quite challenging for the team to sort out. She came home on quite

:54:43. > :54:48.a lot of oxygen, so she couldn't mix with other children had to keep out

:54:49. > :54:53.of social situations in case of infection. But she has never let

:54:54. > :54:56.anything stand in her way, if she wants to do something, she will do

:54:57. > :55:03.it. She went to Africa and worked with children with AIDS. She wanted

:55:04. > :55:07.to go and Nick said she could. Whatever has come her way, she's

:55:08. > :55:11.made sure she has got over it. A very determined little girl and has

:55:12. > :55:18.lived up to her nickname of Stroppy Proud. Nick, you kept in touch with

:55:19. > :55:22.Sophie on the family when they left the unit, why did you feel compelled

:55:23. > :55:29.to do that? I kept meeting them charity events. They were both

:55:30. > :55:38.heavily involved in helping raising funds and supporting other families.

:55:39. > :55:41.We use to meet up on a yearly basis. I was sent photos and it felt

:55:42. > :55:45.fantastic to keep in contact. We don't keep in contact with all the

:55:46. > :55:52.babies we look after, it is not possible, but in this case it was

:55:53. > :55:55.special, particularly because we shared the same birthday. We have

:55:56. > :56:02.that special kind of connection, as well. At the time it must have felt

:56:03. > :56:07.like an amazing achievement, to have seen Sophie through from that birth

:56:08. > :56:14.at 24 weeks to surviving. When it hadn't happened before? I have a

:56:15. > :56:24.little bit of interference on the line here from somebody else, but...

:56:25. > :56:30.Back then in 96 not many babies surviving at 24 weeks at all. We

:56:31. > :56:34.hadn't really had any babies survive before that. Now I am pleased to say

:56:35. > :56:42.the outcome in survival is much better than it was 20 years ago.

:56:43. > :56:46.60-70% of babies born at 24 weeks now we would hope to survive, but

:56:47. > :56:51.back then it was incredible. Sophie was tiny, very sick and needed a lot

:56:52. > :56:54.of help with ventilation. It is just wonderful to see how well she has

:56:55. > :56:58.done and how well she is contributing with all of her charity

:56:59. > :57:02.work to stop now being back here and looking after babies and working

:57:03. > :57:05.with families and giving the family is some hope and encouragement about

:57:06. > :57:12.the good things that can happen in this case. I was thinking exactly

:57:13. > :57:18.that about Sophie. If you can get her to tell us about this. For the

:57:19. > :57:23.families there who are feeling worried about the situation they are

:57:24. > :57:28.in... They must be able to gain huge inspiration from seeing Sophie and

:57:29. > :57:31.hearing what she can tell them. I am hearing two voices on the line. Are

:57:32. > :57:37.you asking me what the families think about...? I am so sorry, I

:57:38. > :57:43.don't know what the technical issue is. I would love to know what Sophie

:57:44. > :57:46.says when she meets somebody when they are in the position her mother

:57:47. > :57:51.was in all those years ago, what she can tell them? What they would like

:57:52. > :57:55.to know, when you see Mum and dad with a premature baby now, what do

:57:56. > :58:02.you say to them when you are working with them? It is difficult, because

:58:03. > :58:08.you have to manage the situation that their child is in. This leave

:58:09. > :58:13.their child might have a different outcome to what I have heard, but I

:58:14. > :58:18.try and sit them, I was born at 23 weeks 20 years ago. You can see

:58:19. > :58:23.their faces light up. It just gives them a bit of encouragement and a

:58:24. > :58:27.bit of hope that there is a possibility their child might have

:58:28. > :58:31.the best outcome they wish for. That is beautiful, thank you. Have a

:58:32. > :58:33.lovely weekend, and you as well. Thank you for your company, see you
