looking into these people's faces at a sold out Royal Albert Hall,

:00:12.:00:14.

what the reaction might be and how we might be overwhelmed.

:00:15.:00:21.

There were bright lights and lots of people around

:00:22.:00:25.

and I think because my rape had been lots of people there,

:00:26.:00:29.

it just brought so many memories back of that situation,

:00:30.:00:32.

that actually it was really traumatising.

:00:33.:00:39.

Campaigners say they want similar units built across the UK.

:00:40.:00:51.

If affordable child care is playing the woman card - then deal me in!

:00:52.:01:00.

Also ahead - Hillary Clinton takes aim at Donald Trump

:01:01.:01:03.

And more than 400 drunk airline passengers have been arrested

:01:04.:01:07.

A crackdown on alcohol at airports is now being considered.

:01:08.:01:25.

Hello, welcome to the programme,

:01:26.:01:26.

In the next hour or so Pope Francis will walk in silence around

:01:27.:01:32.

the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, in a mark of respect

:01:33.:01:34.

for the more than one million people who were killed at the former

:01:35.:01:37.

We'll bring you the pictures of his visit, hopefully,

:01:38.:01:42.

Also ahead, keen to hear what you think about this story.

:01:43.:01:46.

The government is looking into the way alcohol

:01:47.:01:48.

is sold at airports, after a spate of incidents on planes

:01:49.:01:51.

Is there a problem with the amount of booze drunk before flights?

:01:52.:01:56.

The deal to build the first nuclear power station in Britain for 20

:02:08.:02:11.

years has been delayed - after the Government said it needed

:02:12.:02:14.

The French firm EDF approved funding for the site at Hinkley Point

:02:15.:02:18.

But, in an unexpected twist, the Government said it would be

:02:19.:02:22.

early autumn before it decides whether or not to back the plan.

:02:23.:02:26.

The Chinese energy company backing the plant says it remains

:02:27.:02:28.

Our Industry Correspondent John Moylan, has the latest.

:02:29.:02:42.

EDF's decision to build a new nuclear plant at Hinkley Point

:02:43.:02:45.

Today, that should have been followed by the government

:02:46.:02:48.

and the French energy giant signing a series of documents

:02:49.:02:50.

A planned visit by VIPs to the site has also been put on ice.

:02:51.:02:55.

In the briefest of statements the Business Secretary,

:02:56.:02:57.

Just last week, the Prime Minister met the French President,

:02:58.:03:11.

Hinckley was discussed, but this rethink is thought to have

:03:12.:03:17.

Theresa, as we know, has her own mind.

:03:18.:03:21.

She's been a very successful Home Secretary, she checks

:03:22.:03:27.

everything, and I know that from stuff I've

:03:28.:03:29.

She wants to make sure this is right.

:03:30.:03:32.

We're talking about three countries, we're talking about an enormous deal

:03:33.:03:35.

for the United Kingdom, for France and for China.

:03:36.:03:37.

She wants to make sure it's the right job, and that's what she's

:03:38.:03:40.

doing, she's checking it, as all good Prime Ministers should.

:03:41.:03:42.

Sources say with new leadership in the country.

:03:43.:03:44.

it's right that time is taken to consider the huge undertaking.

:03:45.:03:47.

But the decision has caught many people close

:03:48.:03:49.

to the project off-guard, and in the wake of the referendum

:03:50.:03:52.

vote, some will regard the Government's actions as sending

:03:53.:03:54.

mixed signals about Britain being open for business.

:03:55.:04:00.

In the coming years this area on the Somerset coast is set

:04:01.:04:02.

to become the biggest construction site in Europe.

:04:03.:04:06.

EDF says the new plant should be generating power by 2025 -

:04:07.:04:10.

that, of course, assumes that everything goes to plan.

:04:11.:04:12.

John Moylan, BBC News at Hinkley Point.

:04:13.:04:16.

Live to our Business Correspondent, Ben Thompson who's at Hinkley.

:04:17.:04:21.

Ben after the funding was all put in place, this was totally unexpected.

:04:22.:04:28.

Does it mean the future of Hinkley is now in serious doubt? Yeah,

:04:29.:04:36.

morning to you, welcome to Hinkley Point. You may wonder why the

:04:37.:04:42.

diggers are still moving. A real spanner thrown in the works by the

:04:43.:04:46.

government last night. But what these trucks are doing is laying the

:04:47.:04:51.

groundwork. They have got to prepare this vast site to make sure that if

:04:52.:04:55.

and when it does get the green light, work can begin again. I want

:04:56.:04:58.

to show you around here. It is an interesting site. This is where

:04:59.:05:07.

Hinkley Point C will be. The two blue buildings are Hinkley Point A.

:05:08.:05:14.

That has been decommissioned. On the right-hand side the white building

:05:15.:05:18.

is Hinkley Point B. That is still functioning. But it will be

:05:19.:05:23.

decommissioned in 2023. That is whoo I the Government was looking -- that

:05:24.:05:29.

is why the Government is looking for alternatives for energy and energy

:05:30.:05:34.

security. One way it might have done that is by building Hinkley Point C.

:05:35.:05:40.

But costs and worries and about overruns and the concerns about the

:05:41.:05:44.

technology and the Government wants to reassess the plans and tells us

:05:45.:05:48.

it may make a decision by the autumn. For everyone here there is a

:05:49.:05:53.

real sense of wait and see. All the work under way. They want to find

:05:54.:05:56.

out when they get the green light. Because that work can start again

:05:57.:06:01.

and there are 25,000 jobs at stake as a result, both building the plant

:06:02.:06:06.

and in the local area in the supply chain. It is crucial for energy

:06:07.:06:11.

security for this part of the country. Thank you.

:06:12.:06:15.

Live now to Annita McVeigh in the BBC Newsroom with the rest

:06:16.:06:17.

Hillary Clinton has accepted the Democratic nomination

:06:18.:06:21.

for President with a rousing speech at the party's national

:06:22.:06:24.

She promised to make the United States a country that

:06:25.:06:29.

worked for everyone - and urged Americans to oppose

:06:30.:06:31.

what she called Donald Trump's 'mean and divisive rhetoric'.

:06:32.:06:36.

The speech no woman has ever made at a party convention in America.

:06:37.:06:45.

And so, my friends, it is with humility,

:06:46.:06:56.

determination, and boundless confidence in America's promise,

:06:57.:07:03.

that I accept your nomination as President of the United States.

:07:04.:07:14.

Her daughter Chelsea is now the child of two presidential

:07:15.:07:17.

nominees and perhaps soon of two presidents.

:07:18.:07:22.

I am voting for a fighter who always believes we can do better

:07:23.:07:25.

The Democrats are united against Donald Trump, but to win,

:07:26.:07:40.

she also has to sell voters on her vision, and hard

:07:41.:07:43.

Yes, the world is watching what we do.

:07:44.:07:53.

Yes, America's destiny is ours to choose.

:07:54.:08:02.

So let's be stronger together my fellow Americans.

:08:03.:08:09.

Millions more watched the Democratic Convention

:08:10.:08:13.

Hillary Clinton hopes this means it will be a bump in the polls

:08:14.:08:17.

The website of Donald Trump's wife, Melania, has been taken down,

:08:18.:08:28.

after American journalists questioned her claim that she had

:08:29.:08:30.

The wife of the Republican presidential candidate says

:08:31.:08:35.

the website no longer accurately reflects her business

:08:36.:08:37.

Last week Mrs Trump was accused of plagiarising Michelle Obama

:08:38.:08:43.

during her speech at the Republican convention.

:08:44.:08:49.

Pope Francis is visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former Nazi

:08:50.:08:51.

death camp where more than one million people,

:08:52.:08:53.

He becomes the third Pope to walk through the main gate of Auschwitz,

:08:54.:08:59.

under its infamous inscription "Arbeit Macht Frei" -

:09:00.:09:01.

He's meeting several camp survivors, as well as people who risked their

:09:02.:09:08.

The way alcohol is sold at airports is being looked

:09:09.:09:15.

at by the government, to try to reduce the problems caused

:09:16.:09:17.

Some ideas already being tested include a ban on people drinking

:09:18.:09:21.

alcohol which they've purchased before their flight,

:09:22.:09:23.

and limits to the amount sold at airport bars and restaurants.

:09:24.:09:26.

Earlier a former cabin-crew member told us what she

:09:27.:09:28.

It needs to stop before people get on board. The staff are there for

:09:29.:09:51.

safety, no tot deal with drunken people.

:09:52.:09:54.

Cross-breeding could be the only way to improve the poor health

:09:55.:09:57.

of English bulldogs - according to new research.

:09:58.:09:59.

It shows that due to centuries of selective breeding,

:10:00.:10:01.

bulldogs have become so inbred they cannot be returned

:10:02.:10:03.

to health without an infusion of new bloodlines.

:10:04.:10:05.

The fans of the English bull dog, it is not hard to see why it was so

:10:06.:10:17.

popular. According to the Kennel Club, their mood can be dignified,

:10:18.:10:22.

humorous or comical and they have many endearing ways. But during the

:10:23.:10:28.

latter part of the last century many were bred to have exaggerated

:10:29.:10:33.

physical features, that led to health problems. Including breathing

:10:34.:10:38.

problems. To breed a strength as unhealthy as the bull dogs, they may

:10:39.:10:46.

have developed obstructive airway syndrome and can't take normal

:10:47.:10:51.

breath and they can't go to the park like a normal dog. Research says the

:10:52.:10:57.

gene pool is so small it could be hard to improve the health without

:10:58.:11:02.

cross breeding. But the proceed council doesn't agree. They say the

:11:03.:11:07.

sample used for the research is too small to draw those conclusions and

:11:08.:11:12.

a health scheme started ten years ago means healthy animals certified

:11:13.:11:14.

by vets are being produced. One of the largest ever

:11:15.:11:19.

dinosaur footprints has It's more than a metre across

:11:20.:11:21.

and is thought to have belonged to a type of dinosaur

:11:22.:11:27.

called an Abelisaurus - which were similar

:11:28.:11:29.

to Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was unearthed in a site

:11:30.:11:31.

in the central hills of Bolivia, and is thought to be tens

:11:32.:11:34.

of millions of years old. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:11:35.:11:38.

News - more at 9.30. Later Norman Smith will look at the

:11:39.:11:51.

number of people joining the Labour Party. All of whom will have a say

:11:52.:11:56.

on whether Jeremy Corbyn remains the Labour leader.

Time for a check on the sport now with Hugh.

:12:26.:12:31.

This weekend sees the arrival of Thunder, Lightning,

:12:32.:12:33.

Just some of the teams in the Women's cricket Super

:12:34.:12:37.

A new franchise based T20 competition that will not only

:12:38.:12:42.

showcase the world's best female cricketers.

:12:43.:12:44.

But could also blaze a trail for the men to follow.

:12:45.:12:46.

Let's talk to Tammy Beaumont, who opens the batting for England.

:12:47.:12:55.

This is an exciting time not only for the players, but some of those

:12:56.:13:02.

that you will be playing against? Yes it is massively exciting to be

:13:03.:13:07.

part of women's cricket in England at the moment. We have some of the

:13:08.:13:14.

best players coming and some great cricket. Important for domestic

:13:15.:13:20.

cricket to get a leg up and get us noticing it more? Yes definitely at

:13:21.:13:24.

the moment there is a jump between County cricket and international

:13:25.:13:28.

cricket. Hopefully creating the Super League will bridge that gap

:13:29.:13:32.

and create a bigger pool of players for the selectors to choose from for

:13:33.:13:36.

England. The game has gone professional in England, but there

:13:37.:13:40.

is a gap. The domestic level has been amateur for some time. How

:13:41.:13:46.

important that the England team gets to profit in the games that you will

:13:47.:13:50.

be playing? Yes it is. Playing against some of the world's best,

:13:51.:13:56.

particularly playing against some of the best bowlers in the world will

:13:57.:14:02.

take my game forward, let alone the other girls stepping up into the

:14:03.:14:07.

Super League teams. It worked in Australia with the women's Big Bash

:14:08.:14:12.

and thousands of people watched it. How important that you try and

:14:13.:14:16.

follow the example set in Australia? Yes, the women's Big Bash took off

:14:17.:14:21.

last year and we want to emulate that. But this is our own

:14:22.:14:24.

competition and we can see how far we can get with it and hopefully get

:14:25.:14:29.

some big crowds and get people seeing it on the TV. The men's game

:14:30.:14:37.

has been agonising about whether to go with city-based franchises for

:14:38.:14:42.

T20 competitions if you get this right, the men will copy it? You

:14:43.:14:48.

never know, they are always reviewing things and there is a gap

:14:49.:14:54.

for this and there is the NatWest T20, but the ECB will do what is

:14:55.:14:58.

right for cricket. How is this going to work with six teams and a finals

:14:59.:15:05.

day at Chelmsford, what will we be watch something All the teams will

:15:06.:15:10.

play against everyone else once in T20 and then there will be a finals

:15:11.:15:14.

day where the third and second teams in the league will play agains each

:15:15.:15:18.

other in a semi-final and the team who comes first in the league will

:15:19.:15:28.

go straight to the final. There is western storm in the West Country,

:15:29.:15:31.

the whole country should be represented, there will be cricket

:15:32.:15:34.

fans everywhere who get a chance to see women playing? Ethnically. Lots

:15:35.:15:41.

to look forward to. Tammy, play well, they start on Sunday and it

:15:42.:15:43.

gets underway on Saturday. follow the super League on BBC

radio, five live sports extra and your local station. Check the

:15:51.:15:51.

listings for that. We'll have the rest of the sporting

:15:52.:15:54.

headlines at 9.30 and an in-depth look at those stories in our next

:15:55.:15:57.

bulletin just after 10. Back to you.

:15:58.:16:02.

Thank you. Let me bring you some of your

:16:03.:16:07.

comments on drinking on the plains. One says, I'm a frequent flyer and

:16:08.:16:11.

fed up with sharing a plane with drunks. As a former police officer,

:16:12.:16:15.

I am horrified at the airline is putting profit before safety.

:16:16.:16:19.

Another by e-mail, it frightens me to learn those on stag parties can

:16:20.:16:23.

get tanked up and then board flight. If they ever had any sense of

:16:24.:16:26.

responsibility and courteous nests to others, it is lost, both in that

:16:27.:16:32.

alcohol induced state and pack mentality just another, have argued

:16:33.:16:36.

there should be no alcohol available on flights and tight control for

:16:37.:16:41.

those boarding. They are a selfish and disruptive anxiety for many

:16:42.:16:45.

passengers and is for cabin staff to deal with the obnoxious behaviour.

:16:46.:16:48.

More on that later, keep your comments coming in.

:16:49.:16:51.

The UK's first maternity clinic designed solely for victims of rape

:16:52.:16:53.

The service is provided by the NHS and ensures that women who have

:16:54.:16:58.

experienced sexual violence receive specialist and tailor made care

:16:59.:17:00.

It's opening at the Royal London Hospital - the BBC have been

:17:01.:17:05.

What happened was, when I went into labour, I think my body just

:17:06.:17:13.

I just couldn't open my legs for the baby to come out.

:17:14.:17:20.

It should be one of the happiest days of a woman's life.

:17:21.:17:23.

But for this mother, giving birth left her traumatised.

:17:24.:17:25.

For many victims of rape or sexual assault, having a baby can trigger

:17:26.:17:34.

There were bright lights, and just lots and lots

:17:35.:17:38.

And I think for me, because my rape had been, you know,

:17:39.:17:45.

lots of people there, lots of people watching

:17:46.:17:47.

what was going on, it just brought so many memories

:17:48.:17:50.

back of that situation, that actually it was

:17:51.:17:52.

It is not just when they come through the door that they are going

:17:53.:17:58.

It was hearing experiences like this, and this woman's

:17:59.:18:03.

own experience of being raped as a teenager, which led her to set

:18:04.:18:06.

up this maternity clinic, the first of its kind in the UK.

:18:07.:18:10.

One woman was told by her rapist, "if you relax, it will be

:18:11.:18:13.

And this woman was also told that in a health care setting.

:18:14.:18:17.

So you can imagine that, you know, the health professional

:18:18.:18:21.

was completely unwittingly and unknowingly echoing the words

:18:22.:18:24.

of the rapist, which had a huge impact on the woman mentally.

:18:25.:18:27.

At a glance, the service is like any other.

:18:28.:18:30.

But behind-the-scenes, specially trained staff will be

:18:31.:18:34.

providing extra support for victims of sexual violence,

:18:35.:18:37.

with some babies here born as a result of the rape.

:18:38.:18:42.

This is a stigma, and women tend not to talk about it.

:18:43.:18:48.

Very often, women who come through, there might be some characteristics

:18:49.:18:51.

that they come across during the birth, and it is a shame,

:18:52.:18:54.

because had we known before, we could have worked with them

:18:55.:18:57.

and helped the women to go through a positive birth experience.

:18:58.:18:59.

Official figures show one in five women in England and Wales have

:19:00.:19:02.

experienced some form of sexual violence.

:19:03.:19:07.

This new specialist service will be able to help those expectant mothers

:19:08.:19:10.

who need that extra bit of care and support.

:19:11.:19:16.

Which this mother wishes had been there for her during her pregnancy.

:19:17.:19:21.

Just by virtue of walking through the door into the clinic,

:19:22.:19:23.

people actually know something of what has happened to you.

:19:24.:19:27.

It means that you have said it without having to say it.

:19:28.:19:31.

And that in some ways is the hardest thing.

:19:32.:19:36.

Instead, the trauma that she relived giving birth has taken

:19:37.:19:38.

It really wasn't what was an ideal situation, it would not be

:19:39.:19:45.

what I would want anybody else to have to go through.

:19:46.:19:48.

And that, that is part of my journey, I suppose.

:19:49.:19:55.

From today, women across the country can access this new clinic,

:19:56.:19:58.

which could soon be introduced to other parts of the UK.

:19:59.:20:08.

Pavan Amara is the Founder of My Body Back and the new

:20:09.:20:16.

maternity clinic at the Royal London Hospital.

:20:17.:20:18.

Yvonne Traynor is from the charity, Rape Crisis

:20:19.:20:20.

and Indy Kaur is a consultant midwife leading the My Body Back

:20:21.:20:23.

maternity clinics at The Royal London Hospital.

:20:24.:20:25.

She has been a midwife for twenty years.

:20:26.:20:30.

Thank you all very much for coming in to talk about this. Pavan, this

:20:31.:20:40.

is something borne out of your own experience, my project, I started

:20:41.:20:44.

because of my own experience, but since then it has come on to be

:20:45.:20:51.

about women, lots of other women who have got in contact with us. The

:20:52.:20:56.

real reason I am doing this is the experiences women have told me

:20:57.:20:59.

about, who come to our project and tell us how difficult it was to go

:21:00.:21:04.

through pregnancy and labour as someone who had experienced sexual

:21:05.:21:08.

assault or rape in the past. There was not enough support out there.

:21:09.:21:12.

The reason I started the project was that. Tell us why it is particularly

:21:13.:21:17.

so difficult for somebody who has been raped or sexually assaulted in

:21:18.:21:20.

the past when they go through childbirth? Essentially because many

:21:21.:21:26.

women feel that when they were assaulted initially, or when they

:21:27.:21:29.

were raped, they were completely out of control of their body. When they

:21:30.:21:33.

become pregnant, they feel they have moved on from what has happened a

:21:34.:21:38.

lot of the time, ten years after five years after, they have had lots

:21:39.:21:41.

of counselling from rape crisis centres, they are back at work,

:21:42.:21:45.

doing what everyone would consider normal things and living a normal

:21:46.:21:49.

life and relationships again. But when they become pregnant, the whole

:21:50.:21:53.

idea of being out of control of your body again, strangers touching you,

:21:54.:21:59.

of not being in control at all of things like joiner will

:22:00.:22:05.

examinations, even that you are experiencing contractions and have

:22:06.:22:09.

no say in what happens with that, because it is nature taking control,

:22:10.:22:14.

that leaves women vulnerable. What lots of women were saying to me, who

:22:15.:22:19.

have come to my project is that they, they were experiencing lots of

:22:20.:22:25.

flashbacks to the actual assault itself, because for the first time

:22:26.:22:30.

in ten years, five years, 20 years at times, they were out of control

:22:31.:22:33.

physically once more. Little things would trigger them as well. So while

:22:34.:22:38.

seemingly little things, but not little things at all. So when health

:22:39.:22:45.

care professionals would carry out examinations without proper consent

:22:46.:22:47.

or a health professional would use a certain phrase. There was one woman,

:22:48.:22:56.

she was told by a nurse, she said the nurse said to her, if you relax,

:22:57.:23:01.

this will all be over with quicker. That is actually what that woman's

:23:02.:23:04.

rapist said to her. Without realising it and without at all

:23:05.:23:09.

wanting to be unhelpful or upset this woman, the health professional

:23:10.:23:14.

had upset her and not just that but it triggered flashbacks to the rape

:23:15.:23:17.

for her. After that she felt not only had she had a difficult time of

:23:18.:23:22.

it in hospital, but she couldn't access postnatal support either,

:23:23.:23:27.

because the whole idea of being in hospital she associated with being

:23:28.:23:32.

raped again, because of that lack of control once more. So then she

:23:33.:23:35.

wasn't going to breast-feeding classes, she wasn't going to

:23:36.:23:39.

postnatal classes, and that led to her feeling really guilty she wasn't

:23:40.:23:45.

giving her baby the proper support he needed. It became a vicious cycle

:23:46.:23:49.

and I felt we needed to do something about it. Indy Kaur, you were

:23:50.:23:55.

working in a maternity unit and a midwife for 20 years. A huge amount

:23:56.:23:58.

of experience. Has it always been clear when women come to you for

:23:59.:24:03.

childbirth what their past experiences have been? Women tend

:24:04.:24:08.

not to talk about their past experiences, because of the fear of

:24:09.:24:11.

being stigmatised. The percentage of women who come to us with this issue

:24:12.:24:18.

is very small, so it is important we do something to give them a safe

:24:19.:24:21.

environment, where they feel comfortable and safe and know the

:24:22.:24:25.

midwife. What we want to do is limit the amount of health care

:24:26.:24:28.

professionals they see throughout the pregnancy, so the trust

:24:29.:24:31.

develops, providing them with continuity of care so they don't

:24:32.:24:38.

need to repeat the experience, what happened. What we can do is give

:24:39.:24:44.

them sensitive care and individualised care, like Pavan is

:24:45.:24:48.

saying, what sort of words would trigger an experienced up white how

:24:49.:24:53.

can you know? People would all hopefully be empathetic, but can't

:24:54.:24:57.

always understand exactly what someone else has been through? Words

:24:58.:25:04.

that would seem like good advice triggered a reaction. How can you be

:25:05.:25:07.

prepared for everything in this scenario? Women won't have to

:25:08.:25:17.

specifically say when they come to us, I've been raped. Those are

:25:18.:25:20.

sometimes I hardest words in the world to say. Just the very fact

:25:21.:25:24.

they have got in touch with us and said, I want an appointment at your

:25:25.:25:28.

clinic, is enough. They don't have to say any more than that. If they

:25:29.:25:32.

want to, that's fine, but if they don't want to, that's fine as well

:25:33.:25:36.

forced it's about giving them their control back. Then we would have

:25:37.:25:41.

consultations with them to find out what triggers them, what they want,

:25:42.:25:45.

what they feel safe with and working according to their terms. How much

:25:46.:25:50.

of a difference to you think this will make less, a huge difference.

:25:51.:25:57.

200,000 women a year contact rape crisis. There is a continuing theme

:25:58.:26:03.

of women not wanting to contact NHS services for smear tests, maternity

:26:04.:26:07.

care, postnatal care, it is hard for them. As Pavan was saying, it is

:26:08.:26:15.

about control. I think men -- the NHS have a question to answer.

:26:16.:26:19.

Notorious the patients are not asked what's happened to them. It is very

:26:20.:26:23.

much about what is wrong with you, why are you feeling depressed or

:26:24.:26:27.

anxious, but not what has happened to you? A lot of women will go

:26:28.:26:30.

through the whole process not being able to say anything. Rape is a

:26:31.:26:35.

really hard word to say, and we are also talking about women abused in

:26:36.:26:39.

childhood. This is all very difficult to talk about. The

:26:40.:26:42.

triggers we were talking about earlier, they can be bodied triggers

:26:43.:26:47.

or psychological triggers. In that case you were talking about earlier

:26:48.:26:51.

it was a sentence the rapist had used. However, you can't always

:26:52.:26:56.

assess what is going to trigger a reaction, because your body holds a

:26:57.:27:04.

lot of memories. A smell, a taste, a site, something new here, all of

:27:05.:27:08.

those things can trigger off a flashback or reaction. So if you

:27:09.:27:13.

have a specifically trained staff, medical staff, who understand that,

:27:14.:27:18.

then they can mitigate some of the difficulties. You wonder why it has

:27:19.:27:24.

been a long time coming, Indy. Tell us about the specific training and

:27:25.:27:27.

is it something that could be given to all midwives question at yes.

:27:28.:27:31.

What is important is raising the awareness of what women are saying,

:27:32.:27:36.

which is really important. As the lady in the video said about the

:27:37.:27:40.

environment, the environment can be very cluttered, it can be very

:27:41.:27:44.

clinical and a lot of women relate that back to their rape experience.

:27:45.:27:48.

That environment can't be changed? We can limit the amount of people

:27:49.:27:56.

coming through the room. You can dim the lights. There are a lot of

:27:57.:27:59.

things you can introduce. Smells, you can have nice aromatherapy. When

:28:00.:28:05.

anybody goes to a hospital there is always that hospital, clinical

:28:06.:28:10.

smell. Alcohol gel as well. Colours are a start. You can it a more info

:28:11.:28:16.

at welcoming environment for women. That is where our volunteers are

:28:17.:28:20.

really useful, they are there specifically to make women feel

:28:21.:28:23.

comfortable and do those sorts of things. We are working with lots of

:28:24.:28:26.

local businesses, as well, to help with that. Lush, that sells soap,

:28:27.:28:33.

they have donated lots and lots of products to us, so we can give them

:28:34.:28:40.

to the women who use our clinic, our maternity clinic. They are care

:28:41.:28:44.

packs. It is tiny things like that that help. It is also about, we are

:28:45.:28:50.

talking about control, which is so important, because a lot of people

:28:51.:28:55.

think rape is something about sex or losing control. But the perpetrators

:28:56.:28:59.

are very much in control. What we want to do is give that back to

:29:00.:29:05.

victims. It's not a process, we do this now and then that, it should be

:29:06.:29:10.

a process. It should be, are you OK with me doing this, does this feel

:29:11.:29:15.

comfortable, should I be doing that? It is giving power back to them so

:29:16.:29:19.

they are in control of the process the whole time, whatever is

:29:20.:29:22.

happening to them. That should be good practice throughout any way for

:29:23.:29:27.

anybody going through that. Absolutely. With anybody who has

:29:28.:29:30.

suffered from sexual violence, that is where we should be coming from.

:29:31.:29:35.

It is where rape crisis come from, giving that control and give it

:29:36.:29:42.

getting them to make decisions. You have three coming through the

:29:43.:29:44.

maternity unit at the moment? Three coming this morning. This morning I

:29:45.:29:58.

woke up and we had 256 or 253 new referrals. I think already... We are

:29:59.:30:08.

already seeing huge and a bit of women coming forward. Also

:30:09.:30:11.

internationally a lot of women coming forward. Anybody who is

:30:12.:30:16.

watching this who could help us, if you are a medical professional, even

:30:17.:30:20.

if you can donate, anything like that, if you can volunteer for us,

:30:21.:30:24.

we would be grateful for that. I think this will be the tip of the

:30:25.:30:28.

iceberg. If this is going to go well, and it sounds it is already

:30:29.:30:32.

taken off, we need to have the centres around the country and not

:30:33.:30:35.

just that postcode lottery, if you are in London, if you can get here.

:30:36.:30:39.

Because we have had so many international wom contact us, so we

:30:40.:30:47.

are already talking to doctors in South Africa and India about setting

:30:48.:30:52.

up clinics there. It is great to have it. Thank you very much.

:34:39.:34:44.

death camps Auschwitz and Birkenau this morning,

:34:45.:34:46.

where more than a million people He's being accompanied by a group

:34:47.:34:48.

of survivors, and the trip is being seen as a powerful moment

:34:49.:34:53.

in his five day tour of Poland Our correspondent,

:34:54.:34:56.

Adam Easton is there. It had been anticipated that the

:34:57.:35:04.

Pope might speak, but he has decided to walk around in silence hasn't he?

:35:05.:35:11.

Tell us why. Yes, indeed that is the case. This is Pope Francis is the

:35:12.:35:21.

third head of Church to visit. But he has decided that it would be a

:35:22.:35:26.

more profound and powerful response to the tragedy that happened here to

:35:27.:35:32.

actually walk around in silence and in prayer of course. This is what he

:35:33.:35:36.

is doing. It has been quite powerful. He is making his way up

:35:37.:35:43.

the railway ramp to the monument which is behind me. But earlier he

:35:44.:35:55.

was in the main, the original Auschwitz camp. He came under the

:35:56.:36:02.

gate and walked under and he sat on a bench for about five minutes with

:36:03.:36:11.

his head bowed and he was just in quiet contemplation of the place he

:36:12.:36:22.

was in, the gravity of the horrors that occurred her. It is a profound

:36:23.:36:27.

way to approach Auschwitz and the way he has found, the best way to

:36:28.:36:33.

contemplate those horrors. So tell us more then about what he will be

:36:34.:36:38.

doing there. There is a museum there, where some of what was

:36:39.:36:43.

discovered at Auschwitz has been put on as a memorial. That's right. He

:36:44.:36:54.

has been to see already he has met some camp survivors, including a

:36:55.:36:58.

100-year-old lady who played in the camp orchestra. He has been to the

:36:59.:37:05.

execution wall and he has also prayed in the cell of a Polish

:37:06.:37:10.

Franciscan martyr who took the place of a man condemned to death and died

:37:11.:37:16.

in his place. Now, he is on his way, as I speak, behind me, he is about

:37:17.:37:23.

to arrive in Birkenau, which is three kilometres from Auschwitz, the

:37:24.:37:29.

place where the Nazis built the gas chambers to carry out the holocaust

:37:30.:37:34.

and he is about to mount the steps and he will meet some of the Poles

:37:35.:37:40.

who risked their lives to hide Jews during the war and save Jews during

:37:41.:37:43.

the war. There is a group of those and they're going to be blessed by

:37:44.:37:50.

Pope Francis and I believe he will then make a prayer in front of

:37:51.:38:00.

monument and there will be a psalm by the chief Rabbi of Poland. We

:38:01.:38:07.

won't hear from him today, but he has spoken previously about it and

:38:08.:38:13.

written a book with his views of what happened in which he sort of

:38:14.:38:19.

addressed the question that people ask, where was God. He would say, I

:38:20.:38:24.

would ask you, where was man? That is the question of course which many

:38:25.:38:28.

people and certainly many people at the time in Auschwitz were asking,

:38:29.:38:36.

many devout Jewish people and Christians were asking that

:38:37.:38:39.

question, how can God let this happen, how can he watch over this

:38:40.:38:46.

barbarity which hadn't been seen on a scale like that before. And Pope

:38:47.:38:50.

Francis has addressed this issue in the past. But what, he has decided

:38:51.:38:58.

for his visit today it is not appropriate to talk about that. To

:38:59.:39:03.

make any speeches. The most important thing is to walk in

:39:04.:39:10.

contemplation and prayer and take in the enormity of what took place here

:39:11.:39:16.

and then when you leave Auschwitz you go and tell people what you have

:39:17.:39:23.

seen about the holocaust and so it is alive in people's and people will

:39:24.:39:27.

not forget what happened and that is the approach that Pope Francis has

:39:28.:39:32.

taken for this particular visit. We are seeing pictures of Pope in the

:39:33.:39:38.

Pope Mobile as he makes his way around the death camp and we can see

:39:39.:39:45.

there a number of people gathered. Who this, you mentioned there are

:39:46.:39:53.

survivors. There are some camp survivors here, among them a Polish

:39:54.:39:59.

citizen, who was in the ghetto in the war and he was brought here to

:40:00.:40:03.

Auschwitz and in fact he actually knew what was going to happen,

:40:04.:40:10.

because he had listened to the BBC reports about Auschwitz, because the

:40:11.:40:15.

information had been smuggled out in 1944 and he actually witnessed the

:40:16.:40:21.

horrors of people going into the gas chamber and he knew what was going

:40:22.:40:26.

to happen to them. But he by a stroke of fortune had been selected

:40:27.:40:32.

to carry out work in often wit and he -- Auschwitz and he said there

:40:33.:40:37.

behind me, but the Polish Prime Minister is here, the Polish bishops

:40:38.:40:45.

and the chief Rabbi of Poland. He will read a psalm and he's... There

:40:46.:40:53.

a group of Polish people, who risked their lives to hide Jews during the

:40:54.:40:57.

war. This is different from the rest of Europe. In Poland, the state

:40:58.:41:03.

didn't exist, the Nazis took over completely the state and they

:41:04.:41:07.

actually executed whole families of anybody who was helping Jews. So

:41:08.:41:12.

that is, those people are here and they're hopeful they will be blessed

:41:13.:41:16.

by the Pope in just a few minutes time. And two previous Popes have

:41:17.:41:28.

visited Auschwitz, how important is this visit going to be today? I

:41:29.:41:36.

think when ever a Pope comes to Poland for the first time, that it

:41:37.:41:45.

is, specially they come to Southern Poland and he is visiting Krakow for

:41:46.:41:53.

the World Youth Festival. To come to this area and not visit, the head of

:41:54.:42:02.

Catholic Church and not visit Auschwitz would be unthinkable,

:42:03.:42:06.

given this place represents the holocaust. As you said, 1.1 million

:42:07.:42:13.

people were killed in this camp. One million of them Jews. So I think it

:42:14.:42:20.

would have been unthinkable for Pope Francis to come and... Not to come

:42:21.:42:25.

should I say. As I say, the difference this time I think is that

:42:26.:42:32.

we will have to read into his gestures, because he is not going to

:42:33.:42:38.

say anything. We will have to read into his contemplation and his

:42:39.:42:41.

looks, what his movements and so we won't be able to pour over his

:42:42.:42:48.

words, which was the case with his predecessors, John Paul II and

:42:49.:42:55.

Benedict. That was about 10 years that he was here. In fact I was

:42:56.:42:59.

here. Those moments were significant of course, because that was a Polish

:43:00.:43:06.

Pope and this is Polish territory and in occupied Poland it was during

:43:07.:43:14.

the war and many Polls were killed here. Thank you very much. The Pope

:43:15.:43:24.

is not going to be speaking. He is walking in silence, holding the

:43:25.:43:27.

crucifix around his neck. He said, I would like to go to that place of

:43:28.:43:34.

horror without speeches or crowds, only the people necessary, may the

:43:35.:43:39.

Lord give me the grace to cry. Let's just listen as, or just watch these

:43:40.:43:44.

pictures as the Pope walks in quiet contemplation.

:43:45.:45:40.

The Pope at Birkenau. We can understand some of what goes is

:45:41.:45:57.

going on in his, in the best guestbook in Israel, with shame that

:45:58.:46:03.

man made himself into God and sacrificed his brothers, never

:46:04.:46:04.

again, never again. Do you like to have a drink

:46:05.:46:11.

before you get on a plane? Many of us do - particularly

:46:12.:46:17.

if we're feeling Or maybe you do it because you're

:46:18.:46:19.

scared of flying? The Government is looking

:46:20.:46:23.

into the way alcohol is sold at airports, to try to reduce

:46:24.:46:25.

the problems caused Some ideas already being tested

:46:26.:46:27.

include a ban on people drinking alcohol they have purchased before

:46:28.:46:31.

the flight, and limits to the amount sold at airport

:46:32.:46:33.

bars and restaurants. We've had a big response

:46:34.:46:38.

from you this morning. Adrian on email: "Why do we have

:46:39.:46:40.

to even consider a change in policy? The percentage of

:46:41.:46:43.

problematic people is tiny. Just make the punishment more severe

:46:44.:46:45.

- ban them from flying Why should millions of people suffer

:46:46.:46:47.

because of a handful of idiots?" R Whitehouse on WhatsApp:

:46:48.:46:52.

"If the airlines didn't charge ?7.50 for two small cans of beer

:46:53.:46:55.

on flights, maybe passengers wouldn't fill up before

:46:56.:46:58.

they got on board." Let's discuss this now

:46:59.:47:08.

and in Cheshire, we have aviation Do you think there is a problem? A

:47:09.:47:19.

little bit of a problem, not massive but significant in the sense that if

:47:20.:47:23.

something happens on board a flight it is extremely visible and

:47:24.:47:26.

disruptive passengers on board. To that extent, it is a problem. Phil

:47:27.:47:42.

Watters, the managing director of jet2.com, is there a problem? Yes,

:47:43.:47:47.

we need to educate people about their consumption of our goal before

:47:48.:47:51.

they get an aeroplane. What are your staff sing? People drinking before

:47:52.:47:56.

they arrive at the airport and also drinking early in the morning,

:47:57.:48:00.

particularly before they fly. I think there are lots of people

:48:01.:48:05.

drinking alcohol, unfortunately, you drink it illicitly, who sneak it

:48:06.:48:10.

into Coke bottles all water bottles. The effect of that cumulatively, the

:48:11.:48:17.

more serious effect in the air, when people are in an enclosed

:48:18.:48:20.

environment, and situations can sometimes develop, especially when

:48:21.:48:25.

the effect of alcohol, at 30,000 feet, materialise in different ways.

:48:26.:48:30.

We can bring in a former air stewardess, Mandy Smith. Have you

:48:31.:48:33.

had to deal with difficult passengers? Yes, I have,

:48:34.:48:43.

unfortunately. Quite a few on long haul flights, especially to Las

:48:44.:48:47.

Vegas, stag dos. Are they drunk before they get on board or drinking

:48:48.:48:52.

on-the-fly? Most people are intoxicated before they get to the

:48:53.:48:56.

aircraft, but not so much so we wouldn't allow them on board. It is

:48:57.:49:02.

legal to be drunk on board a plane. On that point, I will come back to

:49:03.:49:08.

win a moment Mandy. But how drunk does someone have to be not to be

:49:09.:49:11.

allowed on a plane in the first place? We have educated all of our

:49:12.:49:16.

staff to try and spot the signs of people being liberated. There are a

:49:17.:49:21.

lot of campaigns we have organised through industry at the airports,

:49:22.:49:24.

with their support, to monitor people before they board the

:49:25.:49:28.

aeroplane. But often it's on passes through the boarding gate within 20

:49:29.:49:32.

or 30 seconds, it is hard to capture everybody when we have people a day

:49:33.:49:38.

flying on jet2.com. We need to try and write that situation as it

:49:39.:49:43.

evolves, before people get on board the aeroplane becomes more serious.

:49:44.:49:48.

Mandy, tell us about some of your worst expenses, what have you seen?

:49:49.:49:52.

Unfortunately I think the gentleman earlier mentioned a lot of people

:49:53.:49:56.

take alcohol illicitly, sneaking the alcohol in their luggage or drinking

:49:57.:50:01.

their own duty free, which is what causes the problem mostly, because

:50:02.:50:05.

we'll how much the passenger is allowed. Some of the problems we've

:50:06.:50:09.

had, I had a gentleman on the way back from Barbados, quite an elderly

:50:10.:50:13.

gentleman. He needed to be restrained. He was very aggressive.

:50:14.:50:18.

We were very concerned for this gentleman, as well as him being

:50:19.:50:23.

drunk he also seemed to be a little stupefied, so he could have taken

:50:24.:50:27.

the sleeping tablet in addition to alcohol, which is usually where the

:50:28.:50:32.

problems arise. Do you get special training, is this just a hazard of

:50:33.:50:36.

the job, do you find it worrying thing to deal with? You are a former

:50:37.:50:40.

stewardess, but is that how you spell? Yes, we are actually SAS

:50:41.:50:46.

trained to restrain passengers in the situation. We are there for the

:50:47.:50:50.

safety of the other passengers around them, because there can be a

:50:51.:50:54.

problem. This is something we get recurrent training for every year,

:50:55.:51:00.

so everyone is up an all of the latest techniques. It is not really

:51:01.:51:04.

worrying, because the one incident I did have, I must admit, it went

:51:05.:51:09.

superbly and everyone did their job and it just flowed and the gentleman

:51:10.:51:14.

himself was restrained within minutes. It actually works really

:51:15.:51:19.

well. The cabin crew do do a fantastic job. The job they do when

:51:20.:51:23.

they are restraining someone is always within the limitations, to

:51:24.:51:29.

make sure they don't harm somebody. I never knew you were all SAS

:51:30.:51:39.

trained before! Phil, do the flight crew get paid extra if they sell

:51:40.:51:43.

out: board? Some have said staff get commission? We do commission for all

:51:44.:51:48.

cabin crew, that is common practice across a lot of airlines at the UK.

:51:49.:51:57.

Why X? Doesn't that give an added incentive to sell alcohol on flights

:51:58.:52:00.

customer yes, we have recently changed our stance on that first we

:52:01.:52:04.

have trained a wall of our colleagues, not just insecurity on

:52:05.:52:08.

the aeroplane but selling responsibly. We have changed our

:52:09.:52:12.

on-board products and modified the selling. We have also trained our

:52:13.:52:19.

cabin crew and they have my full support if they have problems on the

:52:20.:52:23.

aeroplane to deal with the person directly, or the ground crew. On the

:52:24.:52:28.

issue of commission, why not take that element away so there is no

:52:29.:52:31.

sense anybody could suggest is in the interest of the crew to

:52:32.:52:36.

sell-out? It is not just about selling alcohol, we celebrate your

:52:37.:52:39.

product on the aeroplanes. To isolate that one area would not fix

:52:40.:52:44.

the problem. It is a collective issue that has to start before

:52:45.:52:48.

people get on board the aeroplane, before people get to the airport, as

:52:49.:52:52.

well as what happens in the airport during the day. We welcome the

:52:53.:52:57.

Minister's intervention and would like to support that going forward.

:52:58.:53:02.

A couple of things he has suggested, one that passengers could be

:53:03.:53:06.

screened before getting on planes. I am not sure what he means by that.

:53:07.:53:10.

Could you see that working in practice? There are lots of things

:53:11.:53:14.

we could do. There is already a range of things that happen within

:53:15.:53:18.

the airports, together with the airport authorities, the police,

:53:19.:53:21.

ground staff and other staff as well. I think there is a range of

:53:22.:53:25.

items which could be introduced which would better enhance and

:53:26.:53:29.

control the process. Andy, one of the other points raised is selling

:53:30.:53:36.

alcohol in sealed bags at duty-free it has been trialled. How widely

:53:37.:53:41.

does happen? It is something relatively new. A lot of overseas

:53:42.:53:45.

airports. There is less common in the UK. The UK's trialling it. The

:53:46.:53:50.

aviation sector has got together to put together a code of conduct, to

:53:51.:53:56.

try and address that. One of the is an selling alcohol in sealed bags,

:53:57.:54:01.

which has to be a good idea, it reduces the chance people will then

:54:02.:54:04.

unsealed the bag and pour the alcohol into their drinks. It won't

:54:05.:54:08.

stop it, but if you make my life more difficult... A lot of this is

:54:09.:54:15.

about educating passengers, so they understand is totally unacceptable

:54:16.:54:18.

to do this. He says he doesn't want to kill merriment altogether. Where

:54:19.:54:24.

do you strike a balance? Mandy, is it easy to see where the balance is

:54:25.:54:28.

struck when you are flying? Very much so. We don't want to be party

:54:29.:54:34.

bloopers, but at the end of the day, the reality of the fact is you are

:54:35.:54:39.

flying in a pressurised metal tube, at 35,000 feet, so the pressure is

:54:40.:54:47.

then brought down to 6000 feet. If you hike that on our content, you

:54:48.:54:52.

would still feel the rest but for problems, the dehydration and

:54:53.:54:55.

hypoxic would set in, that is why we have a 2-1 ratio. A single shot is

:54:56.:55:01.

normally the equivalent effect on your body to two alcoholic shots.

:55:02.:55:11.

And how to other passengers around react when you have these problems

:55:12.:55:15.

on board? Most passengers are quite sensible, but in my experience the

:55:16.:55:20.

odd one or two take a bit too far and spoil the fun everyone else.

:55:21.:55:26.

Phil Mickelson, do you think this is an issue that needs to be addressed

:55:27.:55:30.

when mostly the issues we talk about around flights are security? I do,

:55:31.:55:36.

we have recognised in this industry, I don't think the industry would

:55:37.:55:39.

have come together in the last year to do something about this if it

:55:40.:55:45.

wasn't a concern to all of us. For example, there might be a few

:55:46.:55:49.

recurrences with certain people, but every flight it happens on is

:55:50.:55:54.

affecting 200 customers' journey. We don't want it to spoil peoples

:55:55.:56:00.

holidays journeys they have saved up for a long time. Why should the few

:56:01.:56:03.

people spoil the experience for them? Andy, Lord Ahmed has been

:56:04.:56:09.

talking about this but there is not review announced, do you think there

:56:10.:56:13.

should be won and it likely? I think there should be and I would like to

:56:14.:56:16.

think government would take this issue series they. The aviation

:56:17.:56:21.

industry has come together to put together a voluntary code of

:56:22.:56:24.

conduct, which is a great start but it needs the back-up of the

:56:25.:56:35.

government. The police are allowed to charge the individuals, but it

:56:36.:56:40.

needs firm action by the police and authorities. Thank you all very

:56:41.:56:42.

much. Let us know your thoughts. She's made history as First Lady,

:56:43.:56:48.

Senator, Secretary of State and now We'll take a closer look

:56:49.:56:52.

at Hillary Clinton and her chances 1949, the first ever weather

:56:53.:57:14.

forecast. Even I am not old enough to know if we got it right or not.

:57:15.:57:18.

Hopefully I will get this right. A fairly straightforward picture. A

:57:19.:57:24.

beauty photograph from earlier in County Donegal. Lots of sunshine in

:57:25.:57:27.

Northern Ireland that much of Scotland as well. Not so

:57:28.:57:30.

straightforward in England and Wales. A weather front is pushing

:57:31.:57:34.

its way down from northern England into Northern Wales and some showery

:57:35.:57:39.

outbursts of rain. Further south, some cloud and there will be some

:57:40.:57:46.

showers as well. Quite a mixture as we go into the afternoon. If you're

:57:47.:57:50.

going to Goodwood, don't rule out a shower in the Sussex Downs.

:57:51.:57:54.

Hopefully most of southern England will stay dry and in the sunshine it

:57:55.:57:58.

will stay quite humid. Up into the low 20s where there is sunshine.

:57:59.:58:02.

This weather front will be pushing down into parts of Wales, the

:58:03.:58:06.

Midlands and East Anglia. To the north of that, the odd shower

:58:07.:58:10.

possible but sunshine in northern England, Northern Ireland and

:58:11.:58:14.

Scotland. Away from the North West of Scotland, that is. The far north

:58:15.:58:21.

they will have a few showers. Car Fest is looking good through

:58:22.:58:26.

Saturday and Sunday, a lot of fine weather to enjoy and temperatures

:58:27.:58:28.

feeling comfortable. This evening and overnight, far north, further

:58:29.:58:32.

showers. The weather front bringing showers in the Midlands.

:58:33.:58:41.

Temperatures will be kept up here, but further north, turning and in

:58:42.:58:46.

rural spots it could breach get down to single figures. Still some

:58:47.:58:50.

showers across the North West of Scotland on a cool breeze. Some

:58:51.:58:53.

showers affecting northern and western areas, but hopefully where

:58:54.:58:56.

you are you will avoid most of these and it will stay fine and pleasantly

:58:57.:59:02.

warm. In the south, low to mid-20. Not as humid and feeling fresher

:59:03.:59:06.

further north and west. That brings me to tomorrow night when I think it

:59:07.:59:11.

will turn particular the chilly. In rural areas, a word of caution if

:59:12.:59:14.

you are out camping, temperatures could get down to as low as three or

:59:15.:59:20.

5 degrees, for example in the Glens of Scotland. But it will soon warm

:59:21.:59:23.

up again with a lot of sunshine to enjoy on Sunday. Most of the showers

:59:24.:59:28.

in the northern and western areas, the North of Scotland catches the

:59:29.:59:32.

lion share of those showers, on a cool and brisk north wind. To start

:59:33.:59:37.

this weekend, pretty optimistic. Plenty of sunshine. Many of us will

:59:38.:59:42.

be dry. There will be a few showers around. And yes, reminded those

:59:43.:59:47.

nights will be particularly chilly to stop the outlook into the early

:59:48.:59:51.

part of next week, things turning unsettled again with some rain

:59:52.:59:55.

:02:14.:02:28.

reckoning. Powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart. Bonds

:02:29.:02:35.

of trust and respect are fraying. Just as with our founders, there are

:02:36.:02:42.

no guarantees. It truly is up to us. We have to decide whether we will

all work together so we can all rise together.

:02:51.:02:58.

The UK's first maternity clinic for women who have been

:02:59.:03:00.

victims of rape and sexual assault has opened.

:03:01.:03:02.

The service, which will be available through the NHS

:03:03.:03:04.

at The Royal London Hospital, will ensure that women who've

:03:05.:03:07.

experienced sexual violence receive tailor-made care.

:03:08.:03:10.

It will provide extra antenatal support with

:03:11.:03:11.

specially-trained midwives, psychologists and paediatricians.

:03:12.:03:12.

Pavan Amara is the founder of the new clinic and told this

:03:13.:03:15.

programme that women often go through further

:03:16.:03:17.

traumatic experiences during their pregnancies.

:03:18.:03:20.

There was one woman who, she was told by a nurse, she said, the nurse

:03:21.:03:28.

said to her, if you relax, this will all be over with quicker. And that's

:03:29.:03:34.

actually what that woman's rapist had said to her. So without wanting

:03:35.:03:42.

to upset this woman, her health professional has upset and triggered

:03:43.:03:46.

lots of flash backs to the rape for her.

Pope Francis is visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former Nazi

Cross-breeding could be the only way to improve the poor health

:04:08.:04:10.

of English bulldogs - according to new research.

:04:11.:04:12.

The study shows that due to centuries of selective breeding,

:04:13.:04:14.

bulldogs have become so inbred they cannot be returned

:04:15.:04:17.

to health without an infusion of new bloodlines.

:04:18.:04:19.

The report warns that people seem to be more concerned

:04:20.:04:21.

about the appearance of the popular breed, than the animals' health.

It's more than a metre across and is thought to have belonged

to a type of dinosaur called an Abelisaurus -

:04:34.:04:35.

which were similar to Tyrannosaurus Rex.

:04:36.:04:38.

It was unearthed in a site in the central hills of Bolivia,

:04:39.:04:41.

and is thought to be tens of millions of years old.

:04:42.:04:47.

That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10.30.

:04:48.:04:58.

We have been talking about flying and booze. A crack down on alcohol

:04:59.:05:08.

at airports is being considered. Adam said, I'm a regular flyer and

:05:09.:05:13.

suffer panic attacks, a few drinks calms me down. Getting drunk is

:05:14.:05:18.

unacceptable, but having a few drinks is part of journey. Alex said

:05:19.:05:28.

I used to fly frequently the cabin crew would give passengers four

:05:29.:05:34.

double measures. The airlines can't just blame alcohol available in

:05:35.:05:40.

terminals. Lesley said a group of men were drinking duty free vodka.

:05:41.:05:46.

They were asked to put it away and they threw the bottle at the crew.

:05:47.:05:53.

Nothing annoys crews more than having drunk passengers on board.

:05:54.:05:55.

at their new stadium after losing 2-1 in the first leg

:07:17.:07:19.

of their Europa League qualifier against NK Domzale in Slovenia.

:07:20.:07:23.

They came from a goal down after Winston Reid was fouled

:07:24.:07:25.

by Domzale keeper Axel Maraval - Mark Noble stepped up

:07:26.:07:27.

to score what could be a crucial away goal.

:07:28.:07:31.

After the break, the Slovenians were back in front -

:07:32.:07:34.

Matic Crnic with his second of the match.

:07:35.:07:36.

The return leg is next Thursday at the newly-named London Stadium.

:07:37.:07:38.

Elsewhere Aberdeen drew 1-all with Maribor at Pittodrie.

There's plenty of media speculation today that new Manchester United

:07:48.:07:50.

manager jose Mourinho is clearing out his squad.

:07:51.:07:53.

And the list of those heading for the door at Old Trafford

:07:54.:07:56.

supposedly includes German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.

:07:57.:07:59.

Well it could be a coincidence or not,

:08:00.:08:01.

but Schweinsteiger has today announced his retirement

:08:02.:08:03.

It comes three weeks after Germany were knocked out of the Euros

:08:04.:08:09.

The 31 year old only joined United last year from Bayern Munich

Former England international Nick Easter has retired from rugby.

on whether Jeremy Corbyn remains Mr Corbyn's opponents believe many

have become disillusioned Our political guru Norman Smith has

:09:53.:09:55.

been to Leeds to find out. Greetings from Leeds, the lovely old

:09:56.:10:22.

covered Victorian market. In towns and cities like this, something odd

:10:23.:10:26.

is going on politically speaking. Conventional wisdom is that people

:10:27.:10:30.

just aren't interested in party politics. They don't join parties.

:10:31.:10:37.

Yet, over the past year or so there has been an explosion in membership

:10:38.:10:41.

of the Labour Party. In Leeds membership has more than tripled in

:10:42.:10:46.

12 months. So what is going on? Hi, are you a member of Labour Party? I

:10:47.:10:51.

caught up with some of the the new members at one of their regular

:10:52.:10:55.

street stalls in the centre of the city. Many have never been involved

:10:56.:11:01.

in politics before it seems. So who are they? I'm a trade union Rep. I'm

:11:02.:11:07.

the CEOO charity. Jane Ingham, I'm 64 and a retired

:11:08.:11:14.

special school headteacher. In a nearby cafe I sat down

:11:15.:11:16.

with some of these new members to find out why they had joined

:11:17.:11:19.

and it is clear the main reason I remember when Corbyn was elected,

:11:20.:11:23.

John McDonnell said that he had waited all his life to see

:11:24.:11:30.

a socialist leader I hadn't, I never expected that

:11:31.:11:32.

to happen, but when I saw that, I recognised it and I thought this

:11:33.:11:36.

is a massive opportunity for working people in this country,

:11:37.:11:40.

I want to be part of it, I want to make Jeremy Corbyn our

:11:41.:11:42.

Prime Minister. I think his principal

:11:43.:11:47.

stand and his commitment are an inspiration to young people

:11:48.:11:49.

very definitely, but We have seen that this morning

:11:50.:11:53.

in Leeds in the city centre. It has given me a kind of new lease

:11:54.:12:01.

of life as far as politics go. I'm not an armchair

:12:02.:12:05.

socialist any more. He is unlike no one and to me

:12:06.:12:14.

that is what is great about him and he doesn't keep

:12:15.:12:17.

up with the Joneses, He's not everyone's cup of tea

:12:18.:12:19.

but that is because no one should be Only people who care

:12:20.:12:27.

about the minorities or disadvantaged communities should

:12:28.:12:30.

be the ones in power. He's actually shown he has

:12:31.:12:32.

got his finger on the pulse in a way that unfortunately a lot

:12:33.:12:36.

of the Parliamentary Labour Party and a lot of people

:12:37.:12:38.

in the Labour Party over They say there is nothing more

:12:39.:12:40.

powerful than an idea whose time has We are having a perfectly pleasant

:12:41.:12:46.

coffee here but you know that there are claims

:12:47.:12:51.

that there is abuse, Do you think that is made up

:12:52.:12:53.

or where does that come from? There have been horrible things that

:12:54.:12:59.

have gone on, they haven't actually been linked to Momentum or members

:13:00.:13:02.

of the Labour Party. I think there is an attempt to try

:13:03.:13:05.

and basically smear not just Jeremy Corbyn himself,

:13:06.:13:08.

but everyone who supports him. If there was any evidence

:13:09.:13:13.

of it, we would stop it. Jane is a retired headmistress,

:13:14.:13:16.

she would stamp it out. We wouldn't stand there

:13:17.:13:21.

and allow that to happen. You can see the power behind Jeremy

:13:22.:13:26.

and that can intimidate most people. When you see someone who comes

:13:27.:13:30.

to does not tick your box, You will be scared because you are

:13:31.:13:33.

realising that your power They do feel threatened,

:13:34.:13:38.

but they do not feel threatened What we are is we are representing

:13:39.:13:42.

change and Jeremy represents a huge change and that threatens

:13:43.:13:49.

their very cosy position. But how do long-established party

:13:50.:13:53.

members view this sudden influx? Les, a former miner,

:13:54.:13:56.

and Melvin are stalwarts In the past probably three or four

:13:57.:13:58.

of us used to go around slogging in the streets doing leaflets,

:13:59.:14:08.

but now we've got Hopefully they are not going to be

:14:09.:14:10.

fair weather members, they are going to be

:14:11.:14:14.

with us for a long time In my constituency the people who

:14:15.:14:17.

move into it are new to politics. They have never been a member

:14:18.:14:26.

of a political party before and in that sense they are quite

:14:27.:14:29.

naive but they are trying to learn and understand how

:14:30.:14:33.

party politics work. This glorious Victorian swimming

:14:34.:14:35.

pool in West Leeds was saved after a local outcry and the concern

:14:36.:14:40.

of some older Labour members is that the new Corbynistas

:14:41.:14:43.

just aren't interested I finished as an MP,

:14:44.:14:45.

I just about retired from the job and someone rings up and says

:14:46.:14:54.

the council is shutting Bramley We could have stopped

:14:55.:14:57.

there and shouted at the council save the baths,

:14:58.:15:00.

we are protest group. We met in order to try

:15:01.:15:03.

to say we want it better. I think it is the fact that change

:15:04.:15:08.

is taking place and a lot of people are still uncertain just quite

:15:09.:15:12.

what that change means and what it There is also a fear of a split

:15:13.:15:15.

opening up in the party. I am more anxious about the massive

:15:16.:15:24.

rift between elected representatives, whether they are

:15:25.:15:30.

councillors or MPs, I think for the Labour Party

:15:31.:15:32.

it is a very risky time, I would hope that people can calm

:15:33.:15:38.

down the rhetoric a little bit and say we can think

:15:39.:15:43.

of alternatives, and together There are those persistent reports

:15:44.:15:45.

of abuse, intolerance of non-Corbyn supporters,

:15:46.:15:53.

and even one local Labour MP was so anxious about the tensions

:15:54.:15:55.

in his local party he didn't Another who would is Richard Burgon,

:15:56.:15:59.

a key Corbyn ally. You know there have been persistent

:16:00.:16:09.

reports of intolerance, It is important that

:16:10.:16:17.

all Labour Party members It is completely inappropriate

:16:18.:16:24.

for Labour MPs, or any MP from any party, to be subjected

:16:25.:16:31.

to threatening behaviour. What I also say is it is important

:16:32.:16:32.

that Labour MPs respect and treat with respect party members

:16:33.:16:36.

and new party members as well. Are you saying, or do you think,

:16:37.:16:42.

some Labour MPs are seeking to smear, frankly,

:16:43.:16:45.

Corbyn supporters? I am not going to stand by and watch

:16:46.:16:48.

hundreds of thousands of new members demonised as thugs,

:16:49.:16:52.

misogynists, brick throwers and bullies because that is

:16:53.:16:56.

simply not the case. I've met fabulous new members

:16:57.:17:00.

of the Labour Party, both young and old,

:17:01.:17:04.

who are motivated by one thing only, getting a Labour government,

:17:05.:17:07.

getting rid of the Conservatives I think it is wrong

:17:08.:17:09.

to demonise those hundreds And what of the threat

:17:10.:17:12.

of deselection and getting rid I am not frightened of mentioning

:17:13.:17:18.

the word deselection but I think In the past Labour MPs

:17:19.:17:25.

have been deselected, it sometimes happens,

:17:26.:17:29.

it is nothing unheard of. But we should not be focusing

:17:30.:17:34.

on some kind of witch If during the last Labour election,

:17:35.:17:37.

if Yvette Cooper had been elected, if Liz Kendall had been elected,

:17:38.:17:44.

if Andy Burnham had been elected, it may have been the case that

:17:45.:17:46.

I would have had disagreements on this or that policy,

:17:47.:17:49.

but I would never have tried Back in the Roots and Fruits Cafe no

:17:50.:17:52.

one mentions the D word, deselection, but the warning

:17:53.:17:58.

signs are clear. Actually if there are people

:17:59.:18:02.

who are uncomfortable or who do not like the politics, it is perfectly

:18:03.:18:06.

legitimate for local members in their area to choose

:18:07.:18:09.

who they want as their candidate This is being treated like if it's

:18:10.:18:12.

some kind of horrible, terrible thing, but the Labour Party

:18:13.:18:26.

is a party of its members. To see the people we know have power

:18:27.:18:29.

fight like little kids and play with our lives and tell us

:18:30.:18:33.

that our voice and influence does not count because they are so used

:18:34.:18:36.

to that power, is ridiculous. It is ridiculous and shameful,

:18:37.:18:39.

regardless of whoever, Come behind Jeremy Corbyn

:18:40.:18:41.

and actually be actively supporting If the vote goes for Jeremy,

:18:42.:18:48.

as it seems it is most likely to do, If you are a Labour MP you can be

:18:49.:18:55.

opposed to Jeremy Corbyn if you want to be, but where I think

:18:56.:19:01.

it has become unacceptable is that some of them appear to be opposed

:19:02.:19:05.

to their own Labour Party members Of course there have been surges

:19:06.:19:08.

in Labour membership before. The last time was under Tony Blair

:19:09.:19:15.

and he went on to win three This time, however, the surge under

:19:16.:19:18.

Mr Corbyn is frankly proving much more troublesome and divisive

:19:19.:19:25.

with many Labour MPs fearful that these new members risk turning

:23:06.:23:11.

think about these corridors? Is it the way of getting anything in that,

:23:12.:23:17.

if people want to stay? The UN has a standard position on this. In

:23:18.:23:27.

partial and unconditional taxes to overseas locations. Offer a chance

:23:28.:23:36.

for people to voluntarily leave and aid to come in and for UN and

:23:37.:23:41.

humanitarian workers to go in and assist the situation and deliver

:23:42.:23:45.

life-saving aid, then we welcome that. But we have always asked for a

:23:46.:23:54.

lifting of beseeching and and continuous access. Stay with us. We

:23:55.:24:01.

can bring in someone who works at a hospital in Aleppo right now, Dr

:24:02.:24:08.

Hamza, thank you for joining us. What is the situation there for you

:24:09.:24:11.

and what do you think about the potential escape route? Can you

:24:12.:24:19.

repeat the question? Tell us what it is like in Aleppo for you right now?

:24:20.:24:27.

The medical situation is pretty bad here. Since we can't transfer any

:24:28.:24:43.

patients... If anyone needs advanced medical care... We now have... The

:24:44.:24:50.

amount of bombing and shelling all over the city, everywhere, that

:24:51.:25:00.

makes a huge number of injuries and operations. Each hospital received

:25:01.:25:13.

more than 50 injuries each day. Each hospital performs roughly eight

:25:14.:25:21.

operations each day. Despite that, the idea of being targeted any

:25:22.:25:32.

moment by forces, it is terrifying. So there is now this offer of an

:25:33.:25:38.

escape route, the corridors that are being opened to allow people to

:25:39.:25:43.

leave Aleppo. Is that something you would take up? Do you know many

:25:44.:25:49.

people who would take it up? Actually, we don't believe that that

:25:50.:25:58.

thing may happen. As a person, and as an activist, and as a doctor, I

:25:59.:26:06.

hope they would let anyone who doesn't want to stay in Aleppo under

:26:07.:26:10.

the circumstances to leave. But I think the regime oil and keep those

:26:11.:26:19.

promises. We have heard many stories about cities... Hom 's as Beyonce

:26:20.:26:28.

Fest 700 days and there was no safe except. -- has been safe for 700

:26:29.:26:41.

days. A person learns from other stories. We see other cities, seized

:26:42.:26:50.

by the regime, and there are no safe exits at all. We have a teacher

:27:00.:27:07.

Wissam question Wratt -- joining us from a rebel held area.

:27:08.:27:14.

And it is more difficult, but some people can handle that. Are there

:27:15.:27:30.

many people still in the city? What signs are there of any sort of

:27:31.:27:37.

normal life? What does a standard they look like? In the morning I was

:27:38.:27:43.

at the University, where there were exams. Life is going on, but like

:27:44.:27:49.

the medical situation, it is a bit difficult, because all the hospitals

:27:50.:27:58.

are being targeted now. Like food, it is getting less and less,

:27:59.:28:03.

especially basic needs, like sugar and butter. But people are trying to

:28:04.:28:14.

go on with what is happening around. People say they fear starving to

:28:15.:28:19.

death if they stay or being taken prisoner if they leave. How do you

:28:20.:28:28.

see the options going forward? We don't want that option to leave,

:28:29.:28:34.

because that means we will be kicked out of our land. The regime are

:28:35.:28:44.

saying there will be corridors as a favour, we don't want that. We want

:28:45.:28:49.

food to come through, not people to go out. Firas, do you think it is

:28:50.:28:54.

likely there will be a way of getting food and other supplies into

:28:55.:29:02.

Aleppo? The UN has called for humanitarian passage to allow

:29:03.:29:11.

delivery of aid, to allow humanitarian workers to go there and

:29:12.:29:15.

assess the needs and allow for cross-border delivery of aid. That

:29:16.:29:22.

would be the way... Thank you, thank you very much. Good to talk to you

:29:23.:29:27.

all. Sometimes the lines are dropping out, which is

understandable where you are talking to us from. Thank you very much

The UK's first maternity service for victims of rape and sexual abuse

:34:05.:34:07.

opens today at the Royal London Hospital.

:34:08.:34:08.

The NHS specialist clinic will be available to women across the UK.

:34:09.:34:11.

Earlier we spoke to Pavan Amara, who set up the clinic and founded

:34:12.:34:14.

the "My Body Back" project to support victims of rape.

:34:15.:34:20.

This is a project I started because of my own experience

:34:21.:34:25.

but since then it has come on to be about lots of other women who have

:34:26.:34:30.

been in contact with us and the real reason I am doing this

:34:31.:34:35.

is because of the experiences I have heard that women have told me

:34:36.:34:38.

about who come to our project and tell me how difficult

:34:39.:34:41.

it was to go through pregnancy and labour as someone who had

:34:42.:34:44.

experienced sexual assault or rape in the past.

:34:45.:34:47.

There just was not enough support out there.

:34:48.:34:49.

The reason why I started the project was essentially that.

:34:50.:34:53.

Just tell us why it is particularly so difficult for somebody who has

:34:54.:34:56.

been raped or sexually assaulted in the past when they go

:34:57.:34:58.

Essentially it's because many women feel that when they were assaulted

:34:59.:35:06.

initially, or when they were raped, they were completely out of control

:35:07.:35:10.

with their body and when they become pregnant they feel they have moved

:35:11.:35:13.

on from what has happened a lot of the time.

:35:14.:35:16.

It is 10 years afterwards, 5 years afterwards, they have had

:35:17.:35:20.

lots of counselling from rape crisis centres, they are back at work,

:35:21.:35:23.

doing what everybody would consider normal things and living a normal

:35:24.:35:26.

life and having relationships again, but when they become pregnant

:35:27.:35:30.

the whole idea of being out of control of your body again

:35:31.:35:34.

with strangers touching you, of not being in control at all,

:35:35.:35:39.

things like vaginal examinations, even the very fact you are

:35:40.:35:41.

experiencing contractions and you have no say

:35:42.:35:45.

what is happening physically with that because it is nature

:35:46.:35:48.

taking control instead, that makes a woman really vulnerable.

:35:49.:35:53.

What lots of women were saying to me who have come to my project,

:35:54.:35:56.

they were saying that basically they were experiencing

:35:57.:35:58.

loss of flashbacks to the actual assault itself.

:35:59.:36:05.

For the first time in 10 years, 5 years, 20 years at times

:36:06.:36:08.

they were out of control physically once more.

:36:09.:36:13.

Little things would trigger them as well, seemingly little things,

:36:14.:36:15.

So when health professionals were carrying out vaginal

:36:16.:36:22.

examinations without proper consent, or when a health professional

:36:23.:36:24.

There was one woman and she was told by a nurse who said, if you relax,

:36:25.:36:34.

That is actually what that woman's rapist had said to her,

:36:35.:36:43.

so without realising it and without at all wanting to be

:36:44.:36:46.

unhelpful or upset this woman, her health professional had upset her.

:36:47.:36:51.

But not just that it triggered lots of flashbacks

:36:52.:36:54.

After that she felt that not only had she had a very difficult

:36:55.:37:00.

time of it in hospital, but she could not access postnatal

:37:01.:37:03.

support either because the whole idea of being in hospital

:37:04.:37:06.

she associated with being raped again because of that lack

:37:07.:37:08.

Then she wasn't going to breastfeeding classes,

:37:09.:37:15.

she wasn't going to postnatal classes and that led to her feeling

:37:16.:37:18.

really guilty that she wasn't giving her baby the proper support

:37:19.:37:21.

he needed, so it became this really vicious cycle and I felt we needed

:37:22.:37:24.

Hillary Clinton has formally accepted the Democratic Party's

:37:25.:37:34.

presidential nomination - becoming the first female

:37:35.:37:36.

presidential nominee from a major party in the United States.

:37:37.:37:41.

Speaking on the final night of the party's national

:37:42.:37:44.

convention in Philadelphia, she promised to make

:37:45.:37:47.

the United States a country that worked for everyone -

:37:48.:37:50.

telling delegates she believed powerful forces were threatening

:37:51.:37:52.

So, my friends, it is with humility, determination and boundless

:37:53.:38:00.

confidence in America's promise that I accept your nomination for

:38:01.:38:02.

She said the country was facing a moment of reckoning.

:38:03.:38:30.

I'm voting for a fighter who never, ever gives

:38:31.:38:32.

up, and who believes that

:38:33.:38:34.

we can always do better when we come together and we work together.

:38:35.:38:41.

I hope that my children will someday be as proud of me

:38:42.:38:44.

Hillary Clinton appealed to voters to trust her

:38:45.:38:52.

experience and judgement in November's presidential election.

:38:53.:38:54.

The latest polls suggest she's pretty much neck-and-neck

:38:55.:38:56.

with the Republican candidate, the billionaire

:38:57.:39:00.

Mrs Clinton had this assessment of her Republican opponent.

:39:01.:39:04.

He wants to divide us from the rest of the world and from each other.

:39:05.:39:12.

He's betting that the perils of today's world will blind us to its

:39:13.:39:19.

unlimited promise. He's taken the Republican Party a long way. From

:39:20.:39:24.

morning in America to midnight in America.

:39:25.:39:28.

Here is Jeremy Shapiro, a friend of Hillary Clinton

:39:29.:39:30.

who worked with for two years in the State Department.

:39:31.:39:33.

And on Skype we've got a collection of Democrat voters Stateside.

:39:34.:39:36.

Those who are staunch Hillary Clinton supporters

:39:37.:39:37.

including Randy Cushman, and Jonathan Cahn in Washington.

:39:38.:39:41.

We also have Marcy Kindred in Indiana - a supporter

:39:42.:39:43.

of Bernie Sanders, who says she won't vote for Hillary.

:39:44.:39:49.

Thank you for joining us. Jeremy, were you pleased with with the

:39:50.:40:00.

speech? . I was it showed a forceful case for why she should be

:40:01.:40:06.

president. Some polling showed that 47% of registered voters strongly

:40:07.:40:11.

dislike Hillary Clinton, for Donald Trump it is 49%. Is it a contest

:40:12.:40:16.

where it will be about who people dislike the least? There is an

:40:17.:40:21.

element of that. There is an element of that in every recent election,

:40:22.:40:28.

because the machines of the parties whip up dislike of each candidate

:40:29.:40:32.

and it is more extreme in this election, but it is not out of norm.

:40:33.:40:37.

What any presidential election is in the United States is a choice and

:40:38.:40:41.

sadly you are voting as much against someone as for someone. Does

:40:42.:40:47.

likability matter? Yeah, it matters in the race obviously. People like

:40:48.:40:53.

to like their president. It doesn't matter that much for governance

:40:54.:40:57.

what. We are seeing and what Hillary Clinton has been emphasising is that

:40:58.:41:01.

people like her when she is governing and don't tend to like her

:41:02.:41:04.

when she is running. Some of the things that have been said about

:41:05.:41:10.

her, in terms of the criticism are it runs along the lines of self

:41:11.:41:19.

righteous, she has been mocked as St Hilary. She inspires a strong

:41:20.:41:24.

reaction against her in a lot of people. How do you see her, you have

:41:25.:41:29.

worked with her? I see her differently. I note that generally

:41:30.:41:33.

people who have worked with her see her completely differently. To be

:41:34.:41:38.

working with her is to see someone who is deeply dedicated to the work

:41:39.:41:44.

of the nation, who most impressively for someone of her positions works

:41:45.:41:51.

hard, listens to people, makes difficult judgments, taking in all

:41:52.:41:54.

of the possible information. I would have to say it is intimidating in a

:41:55.:41:59.

way to walk into a room where someone who is the Secretary of

:42:00.:42:03.

State and have them know their brief more than you do, although she has

:42:04.:42:08.

the whole world and you just have one or two issues and that person to

:42:09.:42:14.

take seriously what you say and reach judgments that seem considered

:42:15.:42:18.

and difficult and may be go against her preconceptions. I saw her do

:42:19.:42:22.

that several times. I didn't always agree with her. Often I didn't agree

:42:23.:42:26.

with her. I think that will be true if she is president. What I gained

:42:27.:42:31.

in working with her and I have to say I started off as an President

:42:32.:42:36.

Obama appointee, what I gained is a lot of faith in her judgment, in her

:42:37.:42:43.

hard work and in the fact that she listens more than almost any

:42:44.:42:46.

principal I knew in the government. Let's bring in some of the voters.

:42:47.:42:55.

Marsy, your a Bernie Sanders support, in fact you have a Bernie

:42:56.:43:02.

Sanders tattoo? You will not vote for Hillary Clinton, why not? Can't

:43:03.:43:07.

in good conscience vote for either of the major candidates now. Because

:43:08.:43:15.

as you can see with the Wikileaks that came out, a lot of Bernie

:43:16.:43:19.

supporters suspected that the primaries were rigged. Now we know.

:43:20.:43:25.

And I don't think that I could in good conscience really put my vote

:43:26.:43:31.

somewhere where it wasn't wanted in the first place. So you will not

:43:32.:43:36.

vote for your party, because of these issues? I can't. I guess a lot

:43:37.:43:43.

of people think that voting for a third party is throwing your vote

:43:44.:43:46.

away or voting for the candidate you don't want. But in my opinion, I

:43:47.:43:52.

would rather vote for something I do want and not get it than vote for

:43:53.:43:59.

something I don't want and get it. Randy, you're a long time Hillary

:44:00.:44:03.

Clinton supporters, what do you particularly like about Hillary

:44:04.:44:10.

Clinton? Well, I, she has been a life long democrat, she has been

:44:11.:44:18.

since graduating from college an advocate for children and dedicated

:44:19.:44:24.

her life to public service and to the rights of all citizens, be they

:44:25.:44:31.

Republican or democrat and I find it curious that people such as the

:44:32.:44:39.

other guest who says she can't vote for Hillary Clinton, when I press

:44:40.:44:44.

folks they cannot point to one fact or charge or one indictment if you

:44:45.:44:49.

will, their impression is that they don't trust her. But they can't

:44:50.:44:56.

point to a reason why. As far as these Wikileak e-mails, these were

:44:57.:45:01.

not written by staff members of Hillary Clinton's and she had no

:45:02.:45:05.

control over what these people write in their e-mails any more than she

:45:06.:45:11.

has over what I write in my e-mails. If that is the standard we are all

:45:12.:45:13.

in trouble. Jonathan, will you support Hillary

:45:14.:45:25.

Clinton? Unreservedly and in the easier sticky. I will say a couple

:45:26.:45:30.

of things. First, although I have never met the secretary, she is a

:45:31.:45:36.

man who in our family we've had enormous admiration for the decades.

:45:37.:45:45.

We have a lot riding on this election, there is a lot of

:45:46.:45:50.

unfinished business in the civil rights movement and we need to go

:45:51.:45:53.

for a fighting and we have that in Hillary. -- for a fighter. Could you

:45:54.:45:59.

hear what Randy was saying? Respond to it? I'm sorry, which speaker?

:46:00.:46:06.

Randy was saying about the fact whenever he is some saying they

:46:07.:46:13.

can't vote for Hillary like you do, says there is never a factual

:46:14.:46:18.

reason. That the WikiLeaks argument is not fair or valid? Unfortunately,

:46:19.:46:27.

I don't agree with him. It's not just Hillary Clinton, it would be

:46:28.:46:30.

the same with any other candidate. I cannot vote for a party where I feel

:46:31.:46:37.

I've been cheated out of. I just turned 18 this year and made the

:46:38.:46:41.

primary date for voting by day. I have never been more enthusiastic

:46:42.:46:45.

all excited about voting in my country. I feel like I was cheated

:46:46.:46:50.

out of my vote. Jeremy, quick and final thought from you, do you think

:46:51.:46:55.

she can do it? I think so, but I think it will be a very hard race. I

:46:56.:46:59.

think she will, but it will be a hard race and we shouldn't take

:47:00.:47:02.

anything for granted. I think every vote will matter and I think

:47:03.:47:07.

supporters should consider that the only two choices here are every

:47:08.:47:12.

Contador Donald Trump and if you don't vote for Hillary Clinton, you

:47:13.:47:15.

are accepting the positivity of Donald Trump. Thank you all very

when I see somebody who is on the street,

I approach them, tell them who I am, what I want to do for them,

and if they want their hair cut, then I'm ready with my scissors

to connect with people, Using social media is a powerful

thing to try and broadcast I don't think that's

a bad thing to admit to, I take inspiration from a lot

about the superficial side of it, making somebody feel a bit

surviving premature baby. Now 20 years on, the Teesside

:50:42.:50:44.

University student has started a student placement -

:50:45.:50:46.

as a nurse - at that very same unit at Newcastle's

:50:47.:50:49.

Royal Victoria Infirmary. Where she spent so long as a

:50:50.:50:57.

brand-new newborn. One of the staff members

at the neonatal unit He was a registrar back in 1996

:51:01.:51:02.

when Sophie was born He worked with the family,

:51:03.:51:06.

caring for Sophie over the 16 weeks they remained in hospital and has

:51:07.:51:10.

kept in touch with her since. He still works in that unit,

:51:11.:51:13.

now with Sophie by his side. We can now speak to Sophie, her mum

:51:14.:51:50.

and the consultant who was with Sophie at the hospital when she was

:51:51.:51:54.

born, and they have kept in touch ever since. It is great to have you

:51:55.:51:57.

on the programme, thank you for joining us. Nick, it must be amazing

:51:58.:52:05.

to see the woman standing next to you, was just that tiny, vulnerable

:52:06.:52:07.

baby 20 years ago? Yes, it is incredible, to think back

:52:08.:52:18.

all those 20 years ago and think how small she was, and then to have her

:52:19.:52:22.

standing here beside us now and even working on the unit, its almost mind

:52:23.:52:28.

blowing, I suppose, in some ways. Because of technical issues Sophie

:52:29.:52:33.

cannot hear my questions directly. Can you please ask her how she feels

:52:34.:52:41.

being there and working on the unit? I love it, it's a dream come true. I

:52:42.:52:46.

work with the doctors and nurses who saved my life and I love working

:52:47.:52:50.

alongside them. Is it something you always wanted to do? Is it something

:52:51.:52:57.

you always wanted to do? Yes. I wish wanted to give something back to the

:52:58.:53:02.

unit and I worked hard to raise money for the charity that is the

:53:03.:53:07.

special care baby unit. Being here and working with them is my way of

:53:08.:53:13.

giving something back. I am not sure if you can hear me to Regli, but if

:53:14.:53:18.

you can hear me, how are you feeling right now? You were there 20 years

:53:19.:53:24.

ago, fearful that your daughter was in such a vulnerable position and

:53:25.:53:30.

here you are back there today seeing a working in the very same unit? It

:53:31.:53:36.

is very emotions. Having a very premature baby is very difficult.

:53:37.:53:40.

All your maternal instincts are there that you can't do it, can't

:53:41.:53:43.

feed, Bath or look after them properly. You have to hand them over

:53:44.:53:48.

to doctors or nurses to do that for you. So to see Sophie's outcome

:53:49.:53:53.

today is absolutely amazing, especially 20 years ago. Our family

:53:54.:53:57.

are always very grateful to Mick and his team for everything they have

:53:58.:54:01.

done. Tell us more about the challenges Sophie faced when she was

:54:02.:54:07.

born? She only weighed ?1 and seven ounces and at the time she was born

:54:08.:54:11.

at 24 weeks and no other baby had survived at that stage previously.

:54:12.:54:20.

Nick and probably answer easier than either choose difficult to ventilate

:54:21.:54:23.

and had lots of issues with infections. She needed operations on

:54:24.:54:30.

her eyes and she had a problem with her hand, her hand went black. That

:54:31.:54:36.

was quite challenging for the team to sort out. She came home on quite

:54:37.:54:42.

a lot of oxygen, so she couldn't mix with other children had to keep out

:54:43.:54:48.

of social situations in case of infection. But she has never let

:54:49.:54:53.

anything stand in her way, if she wants to do something, she will do

:54:54.:54:56.

it. She went to Africa and worked with children with AIDS. She wanted

:54:57.:55:03.

to go and Nick said she could. Whatever has come her way, she's

:55:04.:55:07.

made sure she has got over it. A very determined little girl and has

:55:08.:55:11.

lived up to her nickname of Stroppy Proud. Nick, you kept in touch with

:55:12.:55:18.

Sophie on the family when they left the unit, why did you feel compelled

:55:19.:55:22.

to do that? I kept meeting them charity events. They were both

:55:23.:55:29.

heavily involved in helping raising funds and supporting other families.

:55:30.:55:38.

We use to meet up on a yearly basis. I was sent photos and it felt

:55:39.:55:41.

fantastic to keep in contact. We don't keep in contact with all the

:55:42.:55:45.

babies we look after, it is not possible, but in this case it was

:55:46.:55:52.

special, particularly because we shared the same birthday. We have

:55:53.:55:55.

that special kind of connection, as well. At the time it must have felt

:55:56.:56:02.

like an amazing achievement, to have seen Sophie through from that birth

:56:03.:56:07.

at 24 weeks to surviving. When it hadn't happened before? I have a

:56:08.:56:14.

little bit of interference on the line here from somebody else, but...

:56:15.:56:24.

Back then in 96 not many babies surviving at 24 weeks at all. We

:56:25.:56:30.

hadn't really had any babies survive before that. Now I am pleased to say

:56:31.:56:34.

the outcome in survival is much better than it was 20 years ago.

:56:35.:56:42.

60-70% of babies born at 24 weeks now we would hope to survive, but

:56:43.:56:46.

back then it was incredible. Sophie was tiny, very sick and needed a lot

:56:47.:56:51.

of help with ventilation. It is just wonderful to see how well she has

:56:52.:56:54.

done and how well she is contributing with all of her charity

:56:55.:56:58.

work to stop now being back here and looking after babies and working

:56:59.:57:02.

with families and giving the family is some hope and encouragement about

:57:03.:57:05.

the good things that can happen in this case. I was thinking exactly

:57:06.:57:12.

that about Sophie. If you can get her to tell us about this. For the

:57:13.:57:18.

families there who are feeling worried about the situation they are

:57:19.:57:23.

in... They must be able to gain huge inspiration from seeing Sophie and

:57:24.:57:28.

hearing what she can tell them. I am hearing two voices on the line. Are

:57:29.:57:31.

you asking me what the families think about...? I am so sorry, I

:57:32.:57:37.

don't know what the technical issue is. I would love to know what Sophie

:57:38.:57:43.

says when she meets somebody when they are in the position her mother

:57:44.:57:46.

was in all those years ago, what she can tell them? What they would like

:57:47.:57:51.

to know, when you see Mum and dad with a premature baby now, what do

:57:52.:57:55.

you say to them when you are working with them? It is difficult, because

:57:56.:58:02.

you have to manage the situation that their child is in. This leave

:58:03.:58:08.

their child might have a different outcome to what I have heard, but I

:58:09.:58:13.

try and sit them, I was born at 23 weeks 20 years ago. You can see

:58:14.:58:18.

their faces light up. It just gives them a bit of encouragement and a

:58:19.:58:23.

bit of hope that there is a possibility their child might have

:58:24.:58:27.

the best outcome they wish for. That is beautiful, thank you. Have a

:58:28.:58:31.

lovely weekend, and you as well. Thank you for your company, see you

:58:32.:58:33.
