Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

:01:23.:01:27.

we are also talking about the very young age at which some children are

:01:28.:01:32.

starting to worry about their bodies. We would love to hear from

:01:33.:01:35.

you with your thoughts on this if you have children at nursery or

:01:36.:01:39.

primary school. How do we make sure our children grow up happy with the

:01:40.:01:40.

way they look. Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:41.:01:43.

we're talking about this morning - use the hashtag #VictoriaLive

:01:44.:01:46.

and if you text, you will be charged

at the standard network rate. We will have more on our exclusive

:01:49.:01:52.

report on the anti-malaria drug Lariam and just a moment. But first,

:01:53.:01:54.

our top story. from the European Union will be top

:01:55.:01:59.

of the agenda for Prime She's chairing a Cabinet meeting

:02:00.:02:03.

at her official country residence Our political correspondent

:02:04.:02:07.

Tom Bateman reports. It is over two months since Britain

:02:08.:02:10.

voted to leave the European Union. The British people have spoken and

:02:11.:02:13.

the answer is "we are out." Since then the Prime Minister

:02:14.:02:16.

Theresa May has said that she intends to make a success

:02:17.:02:22.

of Brexit but behind the sound bites lies the hugely complex negotiations

:02:23.:02:26.

that Britain must undertake with 27 remaining members of the EU,

:02:27.:02:28.

not to mention the timetable for triggering Britain's exit

:02:29.:02:31.

and the calls from some opposing MPs for another vote

:02:32.:02:34.

by the public on any deal - Mrs May will today chair her first

:02:35.:02:36.

meeting of the Cabinet She gave them some homework -

:02:37.:02:43.

to identify what she called Brexit could bring each

:02:44.:02:57.

of their departments. That tactic may help defuse some

:02:58.:03:00.

of the political intensity focussed on the ministers

:03:01.:03:02.

closest to the process, Today's meeting at Chequers takes

:03:03.:03:04.

place amid lush surroundings but must confront hard realities,

:03:05.:03:07.

bringing together ministers who are deeply divided

:03:08.:03:10.

over the referendum. Now they have to start work

:03:11.:03:11.

towards a collective decision The most challenging

:03:12.:03:13.

of all is likely to be over how far Britain has access to the European

:03:14.:03:20.

single market while honouring the promise made during

:03:21.:03:24.

the referendum to control migration. Our Political Correspondent Chris

:03:25.:03:27.

Mason is at Westminster. I they likely to come up with a

:03:28.:03:44.

consensus? The short answer is not. There is a huge range of

:03:45.:03:47.

perspectives around the table, there was before the referendum and there

:03:48.:03:50.

certainly is now, albeit a different looking cabinet table, not so much

:03:51.:03:55.

about whether or not the UK will leave the European Union, because

:03:56.:03:59.

the vast majority of politicians are Democrats and respect the fact that

:04:00.:04:02.

that is the way the country voted regardless of their view before the

:04:03.:04:06.

referendum. It is more about what Brexit looks like, so the Prime

:04:07.:04:11.

Minister said Brexit means Brexit, but what does it actually mean? It

:04:12.:04:16.

boils down to two things, trade and immigration. What willingness is

:04:17.:04:22.

there to do something about the free movement of people around the

:04:23.:04:26.

European Union wants the UK leads? What changes there? But if there are

:04:27.:04:32.

changes in that direction, and many will acknowledge that is a huge

:04:33.:04:39.

motivating factor in many people in voting to leave was to see some

:04:40.:04:42.

thing done about immigration, what then happens to the UK's trading

:04:43.:04:47.

relationship outside the European Union with the 27 members of the

:04:48.:04:52.

club? They are in essence the two big elements of this whole

:04:53.:04:57.

negotiation. But to give you some sense of how long this is going to

:04:58.:05:00.

take, we don't know for certain yet when the door will open for us to

:05:01.:05:05.

start walking out, when the triggering of Article 50, to use the

:05:06.:05:09.

terminology, will actually happen. Once that does happen, it sets in

:05:10.:05:14.

train a process that will last it is estimated two years, some think it

:05:15.:05:19.

might take even longer. A topic that will dominate the Cabinet discussion

:05:20.:05:22.

at Chequers this morning and Dominic politics for years to come. Thank

:05:23.:05:27.

you very much. Now let's catch up with the rest of the news with Ben

:05:28.:05:29.

in the BBC newsroom. The former head of the Army has told

:05:30.:05:32.

this programme that his fears over potentially catastrophic side

:05:33.:05:41.

effects of an anti-malaria drug led him to refuse it -

:05:42.:05:44.

while he knew it was being Lord Dannatt said his own son had

:05:45.:05:46.

become extremely depressed after taking the drug Lariam,

:05:47.:05:49.

also known as Mefloquine, before visiting Africa

:05:50.:05:51.

as a civilian in the late 1990s. The Ministry of Defence said it

:05:52.:05:54.

had a duty to protect personnel from malaria,

:05:55.:05:56.

and in some cases Lariam was the most effective

:05:57.:05:58.

way of doing that. My middle son, who was prescribed

:05:59.:06:06.

Lariam, he was in Africa shortly after taking a couple of doses,

:06:07.:06:09.

he became very unwell very quickly fortunately, that point,

:06:10.:06:12.

stopped taking Lariam. He recovered from the physical

:06:13.:06:27.

effects of Lariam. Because I had first-hand experience

:06:28.:06:29.

of what could happen, I couldn't see the point of putting

:06:30.:06:32.

myself in the same position. And you can see our exclusive

:06:33.:06:35.

interview with Lord Dannatt in full A senior commander of

:06:36.:06:41.

the Islamist terror group -- so-called Islamic

:06:42.:06:47.

State has been killed. Media linked to IS says Abu Muhammad

:06:48.:06:55.

al-Adnani died in Syria. It hasn't given any details of how

:06:56.:06:57.

he died but the US military has confirmed it targeted him

:06:58.:07:01.

during an air strike on Tuesday. Officials are still

:07:02.:07:03.

assessing the results. A teenage boy remains in custody,

:07:04.:07:11.

after a 40-year-old Polish man was killed in Harlow in Essex

:07:12.:07:14.

at the weekend. The man was attacked on Saturday,

:07:15.:07:16.

and died on Monday. Our correspondent Frankie McCamley

:07:17.:07:18.

is in Harlow for us now. As you can see, flowers have been

:07:19.:07:28.

arriving throughout the morning. People paying respects, this is the

:07:29.:07:33.

area where the 40-year-old man, who has now been named locally has been

:07:34.:07:46.

killed on Saturday night. A 43-year-old Polish man was also

:07:47.:07:52.

injured. We found out this morning that the sixth teenager arrested by

:07:53.:07:57.

police has now been bailed pending further enquiries. Local people say

:07:58.:08:05.

this place is an area where a lot of teenagers will congregate, and

:08:06.:08:13.

police have said that they have now put out a dispersal order, which

:08:14.:08:16.

means that they can come to this area and break up any teenagers that

:08:17.:08:23.

might be intimidating shoppers. We also know that later tonight, people

:08:24.:08:27.

from this local community say that they are going to be coming together

:08:28.:08:33.

and holding a vigil here too, in their words, stand up to racism,

:08:34.:08:39.

because they say any hatred in this community should be challenged.

:08:40.:08:39.

Frankie McCamley reporting there. Pregnant women and new mums need

:08:40.:08:44.

more protection at work - that's according to a group of MPs

:08:45.:08:47.

who say there has been a "shocking" The Women and Equalities Committee

:08:48.:08:50.

is calling for the Government to act following a report

:08:51.:08:55.

earlier this year suggesting that the number forced

:08:56.:08:57.

to leave their jobs after giving birth has almost doubled

:08:58.:09:00.

to 54,000 since 2005. Many of the 6,500 people rescued

:09:01.:09:07.

in the Mediterranean yesterday have started arriving at

:09:08.:09:09.

ports in Sicily. The increase in the number of people

:09:10.:09:11.

trying to cross from North Africa to Europe is being partly attributed

:09:12.:09:19.

to calmer weather in the region. So far this year more

than 100,000 people Thousands have died

:09:25.:09:27.

number of arrivals It's not unusual that this large

number of people are arriving In other months, other weeks,

we saw arriving a large number The US Republican Presidential

and meet its president after months of campaigning

what else I mean? Mexico is going to pay for the war. -- wall.

Mr Trump tweeted that he was looking forward to the visit,

President Enrique Pena Nieto said dialogue would help "protect

He's also invited the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.

Police in Los Angeles have arrested the American singer, Chris Brown,

:10:37.:10:39.

on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

:10:40.:10:45.

It follows a stand-off after a woman made an emergency call from his

:10:46.:10:48.

home. Our correspondent

:10:49.:10:50.

David Willis has more. Police were called to Chris Brown's

:10:51.:10:52.

sprawling mansion after receiving the woman's call for help

:10:53.:10:54.

at around three o'clock in the They were allegedly denied entry

:10:55.:10:57.

and had to wait for a charge to approve a search warrant before

entering the property There is currently

:11:05.:11:07.

an investigation going on. If you can see, we are in

:11:08.:11:10.

the process of transition in that investigation to robbery

:11:11.:11:13.

and homicide division. Robbery and homicide

:11:14.:11:14.

division will now take The woman who called the police

:11:15.:11:16.

later told local media that the dispute centred over a row

:11:17.:11:21.

over some jewellery. Chris Brown spent some time posting

:11:22.:11:23.

videos online, protesting his innocence and accusing

:11:24.:11:29.

the police of harassment. But it wasn't until his

:11:30.:11:32.

lawyer arrived that he He is expected to be

:11:33.:11:34.

charged with assault. Chris Brown has had a number

:11:35.:11:40.

of run-ins with the law in recent years, beginning with his conviction

:11:41.:11:46.

for assaulting his then girlfriend, the singer Rhianna,

:11:47.:11:50.

in February 2009. David Willis, BBC News,

Los Angeles. And some news just coming in.

:11:53.:12:03.

Northumbria Police say a 17-year-old boy has died after getting into

:12:04.:12:07.

difficulties in a Denny at the mouth of the River Wear in Sunderland.

:12:08.:12:09.

More on that when we have it. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:12:10.:12:12.

News, more at 9:30am. It's transfer deadline day so no

:12:13.:12:14.

doubt a hectic day ahead for Will Perry at

:12:15.:12:18.

the BBC Sport Centre. Will, it's been a busy summer

:12:19.:12:21.

already with clubs breaking It has. This is the calm before the

:12:22.:12:31.

storm in here. Everyone is typing quietly and all that, but you wait,

:12:32.:12:37.

14 or 15 hours, it goes bananas in here, everyone will be on the phone,

:12:38.:12:41.

on the computers, it goes manic, believe me. It is interesting, one

:12:42.:12:46.

question is why is the business always left so late? Why is it left

:12:47.:12:51.

to the deadline? The big clubs get their business out of the way, look

:12:52.:12:54.

at the deals for example for Paul Pogba, that was a record deal, ?89

:12:55.:13:00.

million, Manchester United getting this one done nice and early with

:13:01.:13:03.

all the other deals they did as well with Ibrahimovic, and of course

:13:04.:13:09.

their neighbours, Manchester City, a big deal for John Stones, ?47.5

:13:10.:13:14.

million, he was at Barnsley only five or six years ago, via Everton

:13:15.:13:19.

and then to Manchester City. So the big clubs getting those deals done,

:13:20.:13:23.

but that doesn't say that they might not get back in later on, then you

:13:24.:13:27.

have clubs who perhaps have a budget of 50, 60, 70 million pounds for the

:13:28.:13:32.

window, they will wait for the prices to drop right down, they will

:13:33.:13:35.

be talking to agents and chairman of the clubs to the last minute. 12

:13:36.:13:40.

Premier League clubs have broken their records for transfer deals

:13:41.:13:45.

already out of 20 clubs in the Premier League. And then you look at

:13:46.:13:51.

the figures we are talking about. We are already over the billion pounds

:13:52.:13:56.

mark, the previous record was ?870 million, last year, already over ?1

:13:57.:14:03.

billion today. That is an incredible deal. What kind of deals can we

:14:04.:14:08.

expect to be done today? There are always deals done very late on, and

:14:09.:14:12.

some of them we don't even find out until tomorrow morning, but lots of

:14:13.:14:16.

outgoings, particularly Manchester City, because Joe Hart is an

:14:17.:14:21.

interesting one, he hasn't yet left the Etihad. He is set to sign for

:14:22.:14:28.

Torino on a season-long loan deal, Manchester City will be off-loaded

:14:29.:14:31.

quite a few, Samir Nasri as well to similar, Elliot Kear Mangala, talk

:14:32.:14:40.

about him going back to Porto, and Wilfried Bony, all outgoing. And

:14:41.:14:45.

Jack Wilshire is another interesting one to keep an eye on. He has been

:14:46.:14:51.

talked about being the next Paul Gascoigne, but it hasn't happened

:14:52.:14:55.

for him at Arsenal. He had a brilliant loan spell at Bolton, but

:14:56.:15:01.

he is set to leave, looks like it is between Crystal Palace and

:15:02.:15:03.

Bournemouth, but AC Milan has been touted as well, and then Crystal

:15:04.:15:06.

Palace will try to keep hold of Wilfried Zaha. But Jack Wilshire is

:15:07.:15:13.

set to leave Arsenal. Another interesting one, we could stand here

:15:14.:15:18.

for an hour and talk about it, but David Luiz at Chelsea. This is a

:15:19.:15:24.

defender Chelsea sold, very is at the PSG training kit. ?32 million,

:15:25.:15:31.

they are talking about buying him back, they sold him for 50 million,

:15:32.:15:35.

and at the time, Chelsea were quite happy to get that money, because he

:15:36.:15:40.

hadn't really settled, was he a centre back or a midfielder? No one

:15:41.:15:42.

could work out what his best role was. It really would be a sort of

:15:43.:15:47.

two fingers up to Jose Mourinho, because Jose Mourinho got rid of

:15:48.:15:53.

him, and they have got rid of Jose Mourinho since, and now signing back

:15:54.:15:56.

a player they were glad to see the back of, so plenty happening. West

:15:57.:16:02.

Brom, Tony Pulis has been saying they need five new players for about

:16:03.:16:05.

five months, so they need three or four. West Ham, you can keep

:16:06.:16:10.

up-to-date with all of that. We have a four-hour deadline day special at

:16:11.:16:14.

seven o'clock this evening, and Dan Walker will be here on BBC One at

:16:15.:16:16.

10:45pm. Turning attentions to tennis

:16:17.:16:18.

and tell us about the British contingent at the US Open and how

:16:19.:16:21.

they're getting on? Pretty good, I'd say. Out of eight

:16:22.:16:27.

Brits, five through to the second round at Flushing Meadows. Andy

:16:28.:16:31.

Murray made it through last night, beating Lukas Rosol of the Czech

:16:32.:16:36.

Republic in the night session. He will play Marcel Granollers in the

:16:37.:16:41.

second round. They were now on day two with Kyle Edmund and Joanna

:16:42.:16:44.

Konta already into the second round. Heather Watson out.

:16:45.:16:48.

What happens when you are working and expecting a baby or you have

:16:49.:17:03.

recently had one? Get in touch. A report saying there is modest

In an exclusive interview with this programme,

:17:13.:17:16.

the former head of the British army tells us he refused to take

:17:17.:17:19.

an anti-malaria drug that he knew was being given

:17:20.:17:23.

to his troops because of his concerns about what he calls "pretty

:17:24.:17:27.

General Sir Richard Dannatt, is speaking for the very first time

:17:28.:17:31.

about his own son's mental health issues after an army doctor

:17:32.:17:34.

He says his son, Bertie, a former soldier, became "extremely

:17:35.:17:40.

depressed" when he took it in the late 1990s.

:17:41.:17:43.

That was before he went into the army.

:17:44.:17:46.

General Dannatt is urging the Ministry of Defence to show

:17:47.:17:48.

"generosity" towards service men and women seeking compensation

:17:49.:17:50.

Whenever I've needed antimalarial drugs, I said I'll take anything,

:17:51.:18:08.

I'll take anything, but I'm not Lariam.

:18:09.:18:11.

You wouldn't take Lariam at the same time as members who were serving

:18:12.:18:15.

under you as chief of the general staff were taking Lariam?

:18:16.:18:17.

I mean, if your life has been blown apart,

:18:18.:18:32.

I'm afraid the only thing that I can get from the Ministry

:18:33.:18:35.

In an extraordinary revelation, the former head of the British Army

:18:36.:18:41.

tells us he refused to take a drug that was being given to his troops,

:18:42.:18:45.

General Sir Richard Dannatt tells us his own son Bertie suffered

:18:46.:18:54.

mental health issues, after an Army doctor gave him Lariam.

:18:55.:18:59.

After that, General Dannatt made up his own mind

:19:00.:19:02.

that the antimalarial wasn't safe to take,

:19:03.:19:08.

but he admits he put the issue on the back burner when

:19:09.:19:11.

he was in the top job, allowing his own troops to carry

:19:12.:19:14.

My middle son, who was prescribed Lariam, he was in Africa shortly

:19:15.:19:30.

after taking his first couple of doses and became very

:19:31.:19:32.

He was flown back to the UK and fortunately at that point

:19:33.:19:38.

He recovered from the physical effects of Lariam, but over a period

:19:39.:19:43.

of time there clearly were mental health issues.

:19:44.:19:49.

Tell us a bit more, if you will, about the impact that it

:19:50.:19:52.

He was normally very bubbly and a personable individual.

:19:53.:20:04.

He got very withdrawn and we got very worried about him,

:20:05.:20:09.

and I think if that had been unrecognised and untreated, frankly,

:20:10.:20:12.

There are other cases whereby the symptoms that people exhibit

:20:13.:20:20.

as a result of taking Lariam, or probably having taken Lariam can

:20:21.:20:23.

Because Bertie had that effect, whenever I needed antimalarial

:20:24.:20:37.

drugs, I said, I'll take anything, I'm not taking Lariam.

:20:38.:20:42.

I took something else on one occasion and made myself very ill,

:20:43.:20:47.

but I realised very quickly and I didn't

:20:48.:20:49.

You knew you wouldn't take Lariam at the same time as members

:20:50.:20:58.

who were serving under you, as chief of the general staff,

:20:59.:21:01.

That is true, but again, I think it was because the organisation

:21:02.:21:08.

hadn't reached a settled view on whether Lariam

:21:09.:21:09.

But it wasn't good enough for you, should it have been good enough

:21:10.:21:17.

Because I had first-hand experience of what could happen,

:21:18.:21:24.

I couldn't see the point of putting myself in the same position,

:21:25.:21:27.

But other people were being put in that position.

:21:28.:21:35.

Well, this is true, but again, I come back to the fact

:21:36.:21:40.

that the Ministry of Defence, as an organisation, is still trying

:21:41.:21:43.

to come to the conclusion in general terms whether the beneficial

:21:44.:21:46.

or harmful effects of Lariam were greater or less.

:21:47.:21:50.

But you personally had reached your own view it wasn't

:21:51.:21:52.

Because I had some personal experience, I thought

:21:53.:21:57.

Concerns were raised, many years ago, about Lariam.

:21:58.:22:06.

Was there negligence in the way it was prescribed?

:22:07.:22:09.

Well, I've often thought about this because after all,

:22:10.:22:12.

I was head of the Army in 2006 until 2009.

:22:13.:22:19.

During this ten-to-15 year period when we were increasingly getting

:22:20.:22:21.

Well, I suppose in that sort of period from 2003 right

:22:22.:22:28.

through to 2014 when we are focused in Iraq and Afghanistan,

:22:29.:22:33.

which were not malarial areas and we weren't giving large numbers

:22:34.:22:35.

of people Lariam, I think it probably slightly slipped

:22:36.:22:38.

Tens of thousands of British soldiers have been given

:22:39.:22:45.

It is one of a number of antimalarial drugs used

:22:46.:22:49.

For years, soldiers who were given it knew it was causing side-effects.

:22:50.:22:54.

A look, a phrase, a word, something completely innocent

:22:55.:23:11.

in somebody else's eyes, but it would be enough

:23:12.:23:14.

But it was a reaction you knew you were doing, but you

:23:15.:23:23.

It was as if the wiring in your brain had completely gone,

:23:24.:23:32.

You knew it was going on, but you could not stop it.

:23:33.:23:41.

I do get depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts.

:23:42.:23:44.

That has crossed my mind, on a number of occasions.

:23:45.:23:49.

I have a little girl now and she needs a daddy.

:23:50.:24:01.

when prescribing medicines, has made absolutely clear what anyone

:24:02.:24:12.

being given Lariam should be told about it.

:24:13.:24:17.

It lists a series of neuro psychiatric side-effects and says

:24:18.:24:22.

that the drug must be stopped immediately if any of

:24:23.:24:24.

We have spoken to many members of the military who said

:24:25.:24:29.

they were simply not made aware of that.

:24:30.:24:33.

We were told to report to the medical centre.

:24:34.:24:37.

We signed a form, saying that we were taking Lariam.

:24:38.:24:41.

We were given the doses, because we had to take doses before

:24:42.:24:45.

we deployed, during deployment and then afterwards.

:24:46.:24:52.

That was basically what we were given.

:24:53.:24:55.

We weren't given any form of medical assessment.

:24:56.:25:01.

We were just told, this is what you're taking, away you go.

:25:02.:25:09.

Were you told there might be side effects?

:25:10.:25:11.

In a statement issued last year, the MoD said since 2013 mefloquine,

:25:12.:25:17.

or Lariam, has only been prescribed after an individual risk assessment.

:25:18.:25:20.

Lawyers take this as confirmation that prior to 2013 there was no

:25:21.:25:23.

systematic requirement for individual assessments.

:25:24.:25:31.

Philippa Tuchman is a lawyer who is now representing nearly 800

:25:32.:25:35.

service personnel who want redress from the MoD.

:25:36.:25:44.

By and large, the requirements to guard people

:25:45.:25:46.

against harm when Lariam was given were not observed.

:25:47.:25:50.

I think potentially thousands of people have been harmed by it

:25:51.:25:55.

in one way or another in some, short-term, in others long term.

:25:56.:26:00.

I think that the use of Lariam and the failure to take the basic

:26:01.:26:03.

absolutely compulsory precautions on the part of the MoD does,

:26:04.:26:05.

I'm afraid, illustrate something I have seen in a lot of other cases,

:26:06.:26:12.

which is a failure to see the individual service man or woman

:26:13.:26:18.

as a person who is entitled to absolutely as great a duty

:26:19.:26:21.

of care as the rest of us would expect in our civilian lives.

:26:22.:26:46.

The problem the MoD has is that if it had admits something

:26:47.:26:49.

like the negative effects of prescribing a drug like Lariam,

:26:50.:26:51.

it kind of opens the floodgates to a lot of very expensive

:26:52.:26:54.

legislation and frankly, it doesn't have much money.

:26:55.:27:00.

These are people, though, who have served their country,

:27:01.:27:02.

who were prepared to lay down their lives for their country.

:27:03.:27:05.

Which is why I think the right response of the MoD would be to take

:27:06.:27:08.

a generous approach as far as Lariam is concerned and invite those

:27:09.:27:11.

who think they have lost a loved one, or indeed an individual

:27:12.:27:14.

who believes he or she is still suffering as a result of Lariam,

:27:15.:27:17.

to put the case forward and have the case examined.

:27:18.:27:24.

And I think if the MoD wants to show, belatedly in this instance,

:27:25.:27:27.

it's a caring and good employer, it should err on the side

:27:28.:27:30.

of generosity and close a settlement with those people.

:27:31.:27:32.

Had I known what the side-effects were, I'd have taken my

:27:33.:27:35.

Why are the side-effects worse than getting malaria?

:27:36.:27:48.

Because malaria is obviously an horrendous illness to get.

:27:49.:27:52.

and this is what Lariam does, it messes with your head.

:27:53.:27:55.

It's turned me into a horrible person, and a person that

:27:56.:28:07.

I can be a nasty, violent person and I can

:28:08.:28:17.

only attribute it to having taken this drug.

:28:18.:28:26.

A group of senior MPs have backed what the lawyers and

:28:27.:28:29.

They have recommended a near-total ban on the

:28:30.:28:33.

In a report on the issue published earlier in

:28:34.:28:38.

the summer, they said the MoD has displayed a lamentable

:28:39.:28:40.

weakness in its duty of care by handing out Lariam two soldiers

:28:41.:28:47.

without proper screening and that there are significant risks attached

:28:48.:28:49.

to the use of Lariam for military personnel.

:28:50.:28:56.

What do they want, the people coming to you?

:28:57.:28:58.

I mean, if your life has been blown apart, I'm afraid the

:28:59.:29:03.

only thing that I can get from the Ministry

:29:04.:29:05.

of Defence is compensation, and they do deserve compensation.

:29:06.:29:11.

What I would urge the Ministry of Defence

:29:12.:29:19.

to do is to take a really good, hard realistic look at whether it really

:29:20.:29:23.

can put its hand on its heart and say,

:29:24.:29:27.

yes, on most occasions we did give the warnings

:29:28.:29:29.

We did give the advice and we

:29:30.:29:35.

If they can show that, then please, show us

:29:36.:29:41.

the documents that show that they did that.

:29:42.:29:46.

If they didn't, in any individual case, it would really

:29:47.:29:50.

help and it would be greatly appreciated if they would not put my

:29:51.:29:59.

client through the agony of long, drawn-out court cases and they will

:30:00.:30:02.

Now can we please talk about how we can put this right.

:30:03.:30:10.

It's been described as the worst form of friendly fire.

:30:11.:30:13.

Yes, I think the worst form of friendly fire is a

:30:14.:30:16.

After all, you have been given a drug by the

:30:17.:30:22.

organisation in which you work and in which you place your trust,

:30:23.:30:25.

supposedly for your health, but ultimately for your lack of health.

:30:26.:30:31.

When a soldier, in all good faith, is prescribed Lariam by his medical

:30:32.:30:37.

officer because he is going to a malarial area, if you've been told

:30:38.:30:40.

you've got to take drugs, you take drugs.

:30:41.:30:45.

It's something you're order to do and of course you will do.

:30:46.:30:48.

And if people aren't aware that in a significant minority of cases

:30:49.:30:51.

it can have adverse mental effects, then

:30:52.:30:52.

The members of the military who I've spoken to who have come forward and

:30:53.:31:01.

who are in some cases pursuing legal action,

:31:02.:31:11.

they wanted their voices to be heard, for somebody to say sorry.

:31:12.:31:13.

Do you feel that you owe anybody an apology?

:31:14.:31:16.

I think, I mean, as someone who has been head of the army at a time

:31:17.:31:24.

when we were prescribing a drug that we now know has probably caused

:31:25.:31:27.

adverse circumstances for people, I'm quite content to say sorry

:31:28.:31:30.

to anybody during the period of time that I have responsibility

:31:31.:31:32.

Why do the British Government continue to give this drug

:31:33.:32:04.

They saw fit to send us to war zones.

:32:05.:32:10.

We went, willing to lay down our lives if needs be.

:32:11.:32:13.

It is incumbent on them to look after us now.

:32:14.:32:15.

Coming up in the next hour, we hear from families

:32:21.:32:22.

affected by Lariam, including a wife who says

:32:23.:32:24.

this drug played a part in her husband's death.

:32:25.:32:28.

As well as Dr Lillywhite, who was for a time the most senior

:32:29.:32:32.

medical officer in the Army responsible for prescribing Lariam.

:32:33.:32:37.

Alice on Facebook says my father was given Lariam while serving in 2000.

:32:38.:32:45.

He suffered the same effects as this man's son, but the army didn't want

:32:46.:32:51.

to see the effects until he killed himself in 2006, so how can this man

:32:52.:32:56.

simply say sorry when the drug has ripped apart people's lives. Paula

:32:57.:33:00.

says my ex-husband took Lowry whilst serving in the Army. He realised it

:33:01.:33:07.

was affecting him, and changed to a different drug. Service personnel

:33:08.:33:12.

are given various drugs, and these on top of tours of duty affected him

:33:13.:33:17.

and had a terminal effect on our marriage. I remember sitting with

:33:18.:33:20.

his welfare officer after our separation. He was home on two

:33:21.:33:25.

weeks' leave from Afghanistan and had discussed with me how he had a

:33:26.:33:28.

choice of guns with which to kill himself. He is still not well. Roy

:33:29.:33:34.

has texted, the second tablet I took before deploying to Sera Leone in

:33:35.:33:40.

2007 caused a seizure or fit. When I collected my 12 months supply of an

:33:41.:33:43.

alternative, the doctor commented on how much it cost. My adverse

:33:44.:33:47.

reaction was not reported or detailed in my medical record. I was

:33:48.:33:52.

lucky. Thank you for those comments, do keep on getting in touch, and we

will be talking more on that after ten.

Thanks, Joanna. The former head of the Army has told

:34:40.:34:43.

effects of an anti-malaria drug led him to refuse it even

as a civilian in the late 1990s. The Ministry of Defence said it

had a duty to protect personnel from malaria,

way of doing that. The Cabinet will hold its first

Stanning, Bolder the coxless pair in Rio. A gold medal from London, a

:37:09.:37:13.

gold medal from Rio. You just told me it is the first time you have put

:37:14.:37:18.

the alarm on today. It is strange! We have been enjoying the luxuries

:37:19.:37:32.

Lyons. Of lying in. You are back to earth with a bumper little bit, but

:37:33.:37:37.

to be back to earth and have the we have had, and to be able to relive,

:37:38.:37:43.

it has only been a week since we landed, that it feels like it has

:37:44.:37:49.

been a month, because everyone is so interested and we are touched by the

:37:50.:37:52.

encouragement. Let's go back to the race, what was it like when you were

:37:53.:37:56.

about to cross the line? You must have known that this was in the bag,

:37:57.:37:59.

New Zealand approaching to your right, but you knew you had done it.

:38:00.:38:03.

What was going through your body, your mind? Heather was saying, stay

:38:04.:38:10.

in the moment, stay in the moment. We had got a big enough lead by

:38:11.:38:14.

halfway, we still had that lead, and it was just stay in the moment, we

:38:15.:38:18.

know we have got this, let everyone else fight around us. Head in the

:38:19.:38:24.

moment. Don't make a stupid mistake in front of the world and falling in

:38:25.:38:32.

the last part of the race! And John Inverdale and Sir Steve Redgrave,

:38:33.:38:36.

they were trying to get you straightaway to make a decision on

:38:37.:38:40.

Tokyo. Can we get a decision live on BBC Two now, are you going to Tokyo

:38:41.:38:47.

2020? We are still undecided. Is their pressure to make the decision?

:38:48.:38:52.

We don't, really. We will have a break for now and see how we feel.

:38:53.:38:57.

And you have a lot of things on your mind, because you have a wedding

:38:58.:39:00.

coming up, you had the hen do in Rio, how was that? If you go to Rio,

:39:01.:39:07.

why not have a hen do? We went to a samba dancing class, it was

:39:08.:39:12.

incredible. Have you got an invitation? I am made of honour! You

:39:13.:39:19.

have had so much focus on those four years, and you were telling me

:39:20.:39:23.

before, the alarm goes off, it is a seven day a week job for four years,

:39:24.:39:27.

so that is why you are suddenly enjoying all this, but to have that

:39:28.:39:33.

to be organised as well. Yes, every single minute of every single day,

:39:34.:39:37.

no exaggeration, for four years, has been about seven minutes of racing

:39:38.:39:41.

on that one day in August, it is all about the Olympic final, so there

:39:42.:39:45.

isn't much time for wedding planning or socialising, my mum has been

:39:46.:39:47.

amazing in helping plan the wedding, but it is all about that race. You

:39:48.:39:53.

have a homecoming parade in Penzance on Sunday. You were worried no one

:39:54.:39:59.

would turn up, but I don't think that will be the case! We are living

:40:00.:40:04.

at near Marlow at the moment, but I was brought up in Cornwall, so I

:40:05.:40:08.

gets to go home, and I'm so excited to take my medal home, because

:40:09.:40:10.

everyone has supported me for so long. Come rain or shine, the

:40:11.:40:16.

Cornish folk will be out. We have had so many people bringing their

:40:17.:40:20.

medals, we talk about dominance in sport, but your dominance in

:40:21.:40:25.

particular in the coxless pairs, 39 races is astonishing. Has that sunk

:40:26.:40:30.

in? We have to go back to 2011 to see the last time you two were

:40:31.:40:36.

beaten. Everyday we train, it is just what we do. It has come from a

:40:37.:40:46.

lot of hard work, it isn't a big coincidence, and we didn't sit there

:40:47.:40:49.

four years ago and say, we must not lose a race. We said, the race we

:40:50.:40:54.

have to win as the Rio final, so how do we get there? And Robin, our

:40:55.:40:59.

coach, it has just happened it means winning races, but you win one and

:41:00.:41:03.

you don't want to lose the next, so there is a competitive spirit behind

:41:04.:41:08.

it. From everyone at the BBC and watching, huge congratulations, it

:41:09.:41:12.

is amazing to watch, and I think we got a yes that they will both be at

:41:13.:41:16.

Tokyo! They will think about it. Thank you very much, well.

:41:17.:41:20.

Ministers are gathering for a brainstorming summit on how

:41:21.:41:22.

to negotiate the UK's exit from the EU.

:41:23.:41:24.

Theresa May has called the cabinet to Chequers,

:41:25.:41:26.

the Prime Minister's country residence, to thrash out a strategy.

:41:27.:41:29.

She's reportedly told them to come armed with ideas

:41:30.:41:31.

The key issues are expected to be the single market

:41:32.:41:35.

Mrs May has already said the Government won't trigger Article

:41:36.:41:42.

50 and the process of separation until at least the

:41:43.:41:44.

Let's talk now to Conservative MPs Kwasi Kwarteng, who voted

:41:45.:41:51.

for Britain to leave the EU, and Sir Peter Bottomley,

:41:52.:41:54.

Thank you both for coming in. Sir Peter, you didn't want Britain to

:41:55.:42:03.

leave, but you have said the best now needs to be made of the

:42:04.:42:11.

situation. Before the decision was made, we didn't want to come out or

:42:12.:42:18.

get terribly far away. We have close neighbours and close trading ties,

:42:19.:42:25.

and now we need to look at making exciting exciting. My advice would

:42:26.:42:35.

be, don't start putting stories in the paper about yourself, the

:42:36.:42:39.

ministers, just work corporate only... But what would your ideal B

:42:40.:42:43.

Right now when you look at balancing trade and immigration? The European

:42:44.:42:49.

Union needs reform, so by leaving, we have to be saying to them, why

:42:50.:42:53.

did you come with us and makes the EU change, we will come back if you

:42:54.:42:57.

make it different. Why would they listen to us. This is about scoring

:42:58.:43:04.

forward now, so what we want? The answered your question is it is good

:43:05.:43:07.

for us and good them. We don't want things to be good for us and bad for

:43:08.:43:11.

them, we want things to be good for us and good for others. How you see

:43:12.:43:16.

it? I think Peter is right, we have to corporate in a spirit of

:43:17.:43:19.

friendliness and corporation, but I do think this issue of freedom of

:43:20.:43:23.

movement is important, and for example, it was the fact that David

:43:24.:43:27.

Cameron couldn't get a concession on freedom of movement, that is what

:43:28.:43:31.

caused this whole thing to happen in the first place in many ways, and

:43:32.:43:36.

certainly from my point of view and many people in my constituency, the

:43:37.:43:40.

reason we voted out was we wanted to get a concession on freedom of

:43:41.:43:44.

movement. If they come to us and say, that isn't possible, we have to

:43:45.:43:48.

look at perhaps even exiting the single market. So the freedom of

:43:49.:43:54.

movement from several thing as far as you are concerned? We had a Prime

:43:55.:43:58.

Minister who left, he lost a referendum. One of the big issues in

:43:59.:44:01.

that referendum was this issue of freedom of movement, and if we don't

:44:02.:44:06.

get a concession on this... When you say a concession, what should it be?

:44:07.:44:13.

Anyone with an EU passport can come to Britain, without a job, they

:44:14.:44:18.

could just come, and during the course of the campaign, this was a

:44:19.:44:22.

big issue. So what should it look like going forward? What I am saying

:44:23.:44:27.

is we need to have a situation in which people don't have the right,

:44:28.:44:30.

they don't simply have the right to come, they have to have a job in

:44:31.:44:34.

order to come, there has to be some sort of arrangement. So not a

:44:35.:44:37.

situation like Norway which has to accept freedom of movement? I don't

:44:38.:44:42.

see why we had the referendum on the first place. So it is a red line for

:44:43.:44:50.

you? For me it is. Sir Peter, would it be a red line for you? I come

:44:51.:44:55.

from a family of people who have tried to find agreements, local

:44:56.:45:00.

diplomats, local service, doctors, teachers. Rather than just draw red

:45:01.:45:06.

lines were you box yourself in, you have to try to say to your partners

:45:07.:45:11.

in Europe and the rest of the world, let's go on developing the rest of

:45:12.:45:15.

the world which has free trade, movement of people who have jobs and

:45:16.:45:18.

are needed, let's consider what people can do when they retire,

:45:19.:45:22.

which is quite important, people shouldn't be tied to their own

:45:23.:45:26.

country in retirement, which is a variation on freedom of movement. It

:45:27.:45:29.

is the ability to do things rather than always the right to do them.

:45:30.:45:33.

What about people voted for here, and a very clear message was, we

:45:34.:45:36.

don't want that freedom of movement any more.

:45:37.:45:41.

I was trying to put it more delicately. But you need to look at

:45:42.:45:49.

it both ways. The ability of my hospital to recruit east European

:45:50.:45:54.

doctors and nurses saying, we have a job, will you come here, you can do

:45:55.:45:58.

it easily from the Philippines. It is not always easy but if there is a

:45:59.:46:02.

job, you can come for categories of workers. That is an ability to come.

:46:03.:46:07.

We are not questioning that. The issue is people coming on spec. It's

:46:08.:46:12.

about who gets the right to decide on whether the government gets to

:46:13.:46:16.

decide? That is right. There is an issue about people coming to Britain

:46:17.:46:22.

who don't have jobs, coming to Britain because they have the right

:46:23.:46:25.

to and they may pick up jobs, they may do what ever they are doing.

:46:26.:46:27.

That's one of the fundamental issues about this debate. When you are

:46:28.:46:30.

describing what you are describing in terms of who should be allowed to

:46:31.:46:35.

come in, that is then insuring that the government has the right to

:46:36.:46:39.

decide, isn't it? Which is completely different. The way the

:46:40.:46:44.

process works, partly government, partly the people. Partly what the

:46:45.:46:48.

law says. There are three or four players in this. The other thing to

:46:49.:46:52.

bear in mind is that we need to keep an eye on what we want for the

:46:53.:46:56.

long-term, for us, for Europe, for the world and work out the

:46:57.:46:59.

transition, which will be very complicated. Most of our

:47:00.:47:05.

environmental protections are within the European Union and the world,

:47:06.:47:08.

how do we come out of those? That should be easy. The questions of

:47:09.:47:13.

tariffs should be easy. The question of things like the rights of

:47:14.:47:16.

European health insurance when we go abroad, that should be manageable.

:47:17.:47:24.

These things require time. The word corporation is the right one. We

:47:25.:47:28.

would agree on three things, those who voted to stay in and go out and

:47:29.:47:34.

agree on three quarters of the things. Let's not look for punch-ups

:47:35.:47:38.

but practical things. My resolvers to get things good for the United

:47:39.:47:43.

Kingdom and Europe and the world. -- resolve is. The Paulao at Chequers,

:47:44.:47:47.

do you expect that to end in consensus? -- the talks going on at

:47:48.:47:52.

Chequers. We have different views and needs to cooperate but in a

:47:53.:47:56.

negotiation we need to look after our interests and they will look

:47:57.:48:00.

after their interests. We have do have a spirit of openness and listen

:48:01.:48:04.

to what to the people have decided and what they voted. We had a very

:48:05.:48:08.

clear message. I would suggest to the Prime Minister and the

:48:09.:48:12.

government that they need to take on board what actually happened in the

:48:13.:48:13.

referendum. Every media should say to anyone who

:48:14.:48:22.

briefs on behalf of an individual cabinet minister, we are recording

:48:23.:48:27.

this and we will use it. Just ban of the record briefings by individual

:48:28.:48:31.

Cabinet ministers and then you have the government work better. We will

:48:32.:48:32.

see if that happens. Thank you. The US singer Chris Brown

:48:35.:48:38.

from our entertainment team. Pregnant women and new mothers often

:48:39.:48:52.

face shocking treatment at work. Including being forced

:48:53.:49:01.

out of their jobs. Members of the Women

:49:02.:49:03.

and Equalities Committee are calling for women to get better protection,

including changes to health and safety practices,

because of a rise in It says mothers are more

:49:08.:49:09.

likely to face negative treatment at work now,

than they were a decade ago. With me in the studio

business on maternity policy and Sue Coe from the European

:49:29.:49:31.

Human Rights Commission. Thank you for joining us. Fiona,

:49:32.:49:43.

tell us, first of all, you were made redundant two weeks before you were

:49:44.:49:46.

due to return back from maternity leave. Two weeks before I was due to

:49:47.:49:50.

return to work, I was called for a meeting with my boss who was in San

:49:51.:49:53.

Francisco and the manager of the London office and was informed that,

:49:54.:49:57.

due to a restructure, my role was being made redundant and they were

:49:58.:50:01.

beginning the consultation process. It was a bit of a shock and a

:50:02.:50:03.

surprise. It was a hugely stressful process to

:50:04.:50:10.

go through with a young baby, worrying about how I was going to

:50:11.:50:14.

find a new role, when I was going to find a new role at how difficult it

:50:15.:50:18.

would be. What happened? Were you effectively out? Did you go back? I

:50:19.:50:23.

left at the end of October after the consultation process and the person

:50:24.:50:27.

covering my maternity leave was kept on on a temporary basis and later

:50:28.:50:30.

given the role permanently at a more senior role. Did you feel it was

:50:31.:50:41.

because you had had a baby? I felt one aspect of it, certainly. Until

:50:42.:50:43.

then, all of my performance appraisals had been stellar, the

:50:44.:50:45.

only material changed between that and being made redundant was that I

:50:46.:50:48.

had a baby. Did you think about legal action? I took legal advice,

:50:49.:50:52.

as was the process, but I eventually felt that I wasn't in the emotional

:50:53.:50:56.

and financial and physical state to be able to confront the prospect of

:50:57.:51:00.

really lengthy tribunal action. That is the problem with women, less than

:51:01.:51:05.

1% of women take the cases to tribunal because of issues like

:51:06.:51:06.

that. You have a nine-year-old son, used

:51:07.:51:14.

to be a marketing consultant, what has your experience been of being a

:51:15.:51:16.

working mother? When I was working in the corporate

:51:17.:51:25.

world I found that I had to constantly hide the fact that I was

:51:26.:51:29.

a mother, that I have responsibilities outside of work,

:51:30.:51:32.

just so that I could fit into the culture of where I was working. Why

:51:33.:51:37.

did you feel you had to hide the fact you were a mother? It was just

:51:38.:51:42.

because I felt that if I had told them, straightaway, that I was a

:51:43.:51:48.

mother, and talk about my son and his responsibilities that he has at

:51:49.:51:54.

school, I would be seen as... You know, that I'm not as good as the

:51:55.:51:58.

other workers, the other employees. Was that coming from within you? Was

:51:59.:52:04.

that your fear or were things happening to make you have reason to

:52:05.:52:07.

be concerned about it? Where I was working, there was nobody that

:52:08.:52:13.

was... None of the employees were mothers or fathers. I was the only

:52:14.:52:18.

person that was a mother in the environment. I already felt that I

:52:19.:52:26.

was special, being there. I wondered why there weren't other parents

:52:27.:52:30.

there. I thought maybe because they didn't fit in. Within myself, I had

:52:31.:52:34.

this fear of discussing it too much. When I did try to discuss it, I kind

:52:35.:52:40.

of felt like, you know, there wasn't much of an interest. My peers were

:52:41.:52:45.

just... They just had other things they were talking about. Let's bring

:52:46.:52:47.

in an early. You are in Germany and you are a

:52:48.:52:54.

mother of two -- let's bring in Emily. Did you have concerns about

:52:55.:52:58.

being discriminated against because you are a working mum? I have never

:52:59.:53:05.

experienced anything like that. The kids Fiona described would not be

:53:06.:53:10.

possible in Germany because we have the legal right to take parental

:53:11.:53:16.

leave. Your employer cannot terminate your contract right you

:53:17.:53:21.

are on parental leave. You have the right to return to your post after

:53:22.:53:24.

parental leave, which can be up to three years, we have a different

:53:25.:53:29.

legal situation in Germany. Jessica, you are a manager with the company

:53:30.:53:34.

and you advise small and medium-sized businesses on maternity

:53:35.:53:36.

issues. Is the law clear-cut? It's difficult to comment on the

:53:37.:53:44.

changes in legislation without actually seeing it in full. I think

:53:45.:53:50.

it's a shame that we have to bring in new legislation, because

:53:51.:53:52.

standards are obviously slipping at the moment.

:53:53.:53:55.

We hope as employers we are meeting standards and it is a shame that

:53:56.:54:01.

employers aren't. Is it a headache for a small company of someone goes

:54:02.:54:06.

on maternity leave? It is difficult for businesses, financially and

:54:07.:54:08.

operationally, you lose a key member of the team which has the skills and

:54:09.:54:13.

knowledge of the client and customer base. But more and more women are in

:54:14.:54:14.

the workplace. Employers would be selling

:54:15.:54:21.

themselves short if they are not able to... Give the women in the

:54:22.:54:29.

package that they require. Sue, your perspective with the European rights

:54:30.:54:32.

commission, are you surprised to know the number of expectant and new

:54:33.:54:36.

mothers forced to leave their job has almost doubled since 2005? It

:54:37.:54:41.

was research that we carried out but revealed this shocking rise, over

:54:42.:54:46.

the past ten years -- that reveal. In discrimination against pregnant

:54:47.:54:51.

women and new mothers. It is 54,000 women, every year, forced out of

:54:52.:54:56.

their jobs. What do you put it down to? We looked at this really

:54:57.:54:59.

carefully and conducted the biggest piece of research that had been

:55:00.:55:05.

done. We found a number of complex reasons. Some employers just don't

:55:06.:55:10.

know what their obligations are. Just don't know? Yeah. Jessica, what

:55:11.:55:18.

do you think about that? Is that really true. Surely that is the

:55:19.:55:21.

absolute responsibility of an employer to know their

:55:22.:55:24.

responsibilities. Yes. As accountants, that is the questions

:55:25.:55:28.

we get, what our employees entitled to, what do we need to do? We advise

:55:29.:55:32.

on that. If businesses don't know, they need to seek the advice. What

:55:33.:55:38.

we found in our research, something like health and safety, a really

:55:39.:55:42.

important thing for pregnant women and new mothers, 21,000 women are

:55:43.:55:47.

being forced out of their jobs every year, forced to choose between the

:55:48.:55:51.

health of the unborn baby, their health and their job. But only 4% of

:55:52.:55:56.

employers seek advice and guidance on health and safety. Explain that a

:55:57.:55:59.

bit more, what are the issues with health and safety? With house and

:56:00.:56:05.

safety, of course, there are additional risks that need to be

:56:06.:56:09.

managed -- with health and safety. When one of your employees is

:56:10.:56:16.

pregnant. More manual jobs? Yeah, manual jobs and other jobs, handling

:56:17.:56:21.

chemicals, exposure to radiation or if you are a care worker, working

:56:22.:56:25.

with lifting, people who may lash out at you. There are things which

:56:26.:56:30.

may need to be taken into account. There are practical realities, is

:56:31.:56:33.

there a way around that? What we found was that we employers had open

:56:34.:56:41.

and ongoing conversations with pregnant women about what they

:56:42.:56:47.

needed, what they wanted, how to and all risks, these were easily

:56:48.:56:51.

resolved by things like a woman with bad morning sickness coming in this

:56:52.:56:54.

later -- how to handle risks. Providing chairs. The -- these are

:56:55.:57:00.

not complex things. Employers need support and information and women

:57:01.:57:05.

need support and information. Do have these informed early

:57:06.:57:08.

conversations. You now volunteer with the campaign group Pregnant

:57:09.:57:16.

Then Screwed what are your worst examples. We had 500 people share

:57:17.:57:22.

their stories in the US, UK and Spain. Blatant and horrific examples

:57:23.:57:25.

of discrimination like being fired or made redundant but then more like

:57:26.:57:29.

the insidiously discrimination examples. Lack of opportunities, for

:57:30.:57:37.

example. Suddenly, a promotion that was in the offing has disappeared.

:57:38.:57:41.

In some ways, they are more damaging because they affect the underlying

:57:42.:57:46.

confidence of women. They have a huge factor in the amount of women

:57:47.:57:50.

who go back to work after having a baby. Is it fair to say you are

:57:51.:57:54.

putting it down to ignorance on the part of the employers rather than

:57:55.:57:59.

malign intentions? There is always a mixture. We know there are bad

:58:00.:58:05.

employers who, you know, don't just need information and support but

:58:06.:58:08.

there are a lot of employers who can be helped by proper, easily

:58:09.:58:17.

accessible information and support. That is why at the equality and

:58:18.:58:20.

human rights commission, we are starting a new initiative where we

:58:21.:58:25.

have leading firms like Ford, Barkley 's, John Lewis, who know the

:58:26.:58:30.

value to their business of getting this right -- Barclays. They will

:58:31.:58:36.

join and talk to their peers across business and give them advice and

:58:37.:58:40.

support about how to get things right. Jessica, quickly, as the

:58:41.:58:45.

voice, effectively, of employers in this particular discussion, what is

:58:46.:58:49.

your take on that? I think that is a fantastic idea to bring up the

:58:50.:58:53.

standards set across the country. Thank you for joining us, let us

:58:54.:58:56.

know your experiences of being a working mother.

:58:57.:58:59.

Let's get the latest weather update, with Alex.

:59:00.:59:03.

Thank you, of clout going south, cloudier than yesterday. Not quite

:59:04.:59:10.

so warm for many of us. Satellite images. A cold front and it produced

:59:11.:59:16.

a fair bit of rain, still providing some rain as it trickles across

:59:17.:59:19.

northern England, the Midlands over the next few hours, clearing from

:59:20.:59:23.

Wales with damp weather over south-west England. A band of cloud

:59:24.:59:29.

in east Anglia and the south-east. Also a few showers, quite a blustery

:59:30.:59:33.

day in the far north-west in Scotland, strong winds. Afternoon

:59:34.:59:40.

sunshine, 20 degrees, before the cloud builds in across East Anglia

:59:41.:59:45.

and the south-east, 23 or 24. Not as warm as yesterday. The cloud

:59:46.:59:49.

disappears this evening and showers will fade in the north-west and the

:59:50.:59:53.

wind will die down. A dry and comfortable night. 13 or 14. It will

:59:54.:59:59.

be a fine day for many tomorrow but it gets conjugated as we go through

:00:00.:00:03.

Friday and the weekend in particular you will need your umbrella,

:00:04.:00:07.

potential for heavy rain on Saturday -- it gets complicated.

:00:08.:00:32.

Because I have first-hand experience of what could happen, could not see

:00:33.:00:37.

the point of putting myself in the same position. I took something

:00:38.:00:42.

else. In many respects, I am a broken man. The Army has broken me,

:00:43.:00:44.

the government has broken me. Why do the British government

:00:45.:00:53.

continued to give this drug to its serving members? You can watch the

:00:54.:00:57.

full film. We will get the reaction of two

:00:58.:01:07.

women who believe Lariam played a part in the deaths of their

:01:08.:01:11.

husbands. Back from the holidays and straight down to Brexit business,

:01:12.:01:15.

Theresa May calls her cabinets to a brainstorming session at Chequers.

:01:16.:01:21.

Does your preschooler worry about how they look? A new survey suggests

:01:22.:01:25.

a quarter of children aged between three and five are unhappy with

:01:26.:01:28.

their bodies and it gets worse as they get older. We have the details.

:01:29.:01:32.

We bring you the latest on singer Chris Brown who was arrested after a

:01:33.:01:36.

daylong stand-off with police after a woman said he threatened her with

:01:37.:01:38.

a gun at her home. He visited Africa as a civilian in

:01:39.:02:28.

the late 1990s. The Ministry of Defence said it had a duty to

:02:29.:02:31.

protect its personnel from malaria. In some cases, Lariam was the most

:02:32.:02:37.

effective way of doing that. My middle son, who was prescribed

:02:38.:02:42.

Lariam, was in Africa shortly after taking his first couple of doses. He

:02:43.:02:46.

became very unwell, very quickly. He was flown back to the UK. At that

:02:47.:02:53.

point, he stopped taking Lariam and recovered from the physical effects

:02:54.:02:59.

of Lariam. Over a period of time, there were mental health issues.

:03:00.:03:02.

Because I had first-hand experience of what could happen, I could not

:03:03.:03:06.

see the point of putting myself in the same position. So I took

:03:07.:03:11.

something else. The Cabinet will hold its first meeting after the

:03:12.:03:15.

summer break today as Theresa May looks to plan the next steps in

:03:16.:03:19.

Britain's exit from the European Union. The meeting will be held at

:03:20.:03:25.

Chequers. Senior ministers have been asked to consider the opportunities

:03:26.:03:29.

presented by Brexit. And to come to the summit armed with ideas. A

:03:30.:03:35.

17-year-old boy has died after being pulled from the sea after being

:03:36.:03:40.

pulled from the River Wear in Sunderland. He got into

:03:41.:03:41.

difficulties. Airport officials say the extent of

:03:42.:04:29.

the delays are not yet clear. Police had to close parts of terminal one

:04:30.:04:33.

after a passenger entered the air side part of the airport without

:04:34.:04:35.

fully completing the security check. Thank you for the comments you have

:04:36.:04:52.

been sending through to us on body image. Lots getting in touch.

:04:53.:04:56.

Janmaat on Facebook, they will have a problem if parents tell them --

:04:57.:05:01.

Janet. At three, they would not be aware of it. On what that, nothing

:05:02.:05:07.

will change the view of children's body if the media does not say that

:05:08.:05:10.

size zero is beautiful. Mike says care about body image?

:05:11.:05:19.

Just go out and enjoy yourselves and climb a tree. Thank you for your

:05:20.:05:23.

comments. Lots of you getting in touch on the interview I did with

:05:24.:05:29.

General Sir Richard Dunnett. We will talk more about that and Lariam and

:05:30.:05:34.

its side-effects shortly. Get in touch.

:05:35.:05:37.

I am with Sir Trevor arriving in marvellous shoes to talk about

:05:38.:05:49.

transfer deadline day. 13 hours to go in England, 14 in Scotland. Joe

:05:50.:05:57.

Hart off to Torino, a good move? 11th in Serie A last season, could

:05:58.:06:01.

he not have done better? Possibly but as a goalkeeper you need to be

:06:02.:06:06.

used, not sat in the goal, not having to make saves. He will get

:06:07.:06:11.

plenty of action in the game at Torino. With his career and

:06:12.:06:14.

seemingly going anywhere with Manchester City it is a good move.

:06:15.:06:22.

If you look at Italian football, it is probably one of the best

:06:23.:06:28.

defensively in Europe, and why not? It would benefit him in the

:06:29.:06:32.

long-term. Loads more to talk about, Wilfried Bony after Stoke. Jack

:06:33.:06:39.

Wilshire, this young bright star, potentially now at Crystal Palace on

:06:40.:06:43.

loan from Arsenal. Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have been rumoured.

:06:44.:06:48.

He was put into the England squad in the summer unfairly, he has not

:06:49.:06:52.

played a lot of football, if any at all, last season, and to be put into

:06:53.:06:55.

the England squad and expects to come up trumps when they needed you,

:06:56.:07:00.

it was a big call. I feel it is a good move for him, he needs to play

:07:01.:07:06.

football and keep his fitness. It is like Rooney, he needs to play every

:07:07.:07:11.

week, and we will soon see what he has got. He has great ability, great

:07:12.:07:17.

talent, we just haven't seen it enough, and I hope he gets some

:07:18.:07:23.

luck. I'm sure wherever he goes, whether it is Palace or Bournemouth,

:07:24.:07:27.

they will be getting a great midfield player. And what about

:07:28.:07:34.

Davide Louise? He left Chelsea for ?50 million, and is returning to ?20

:07:35.:07:41.

million. He wasn't a defender when he left. He has been playing for

:07:42.:07:47.

Paris St Germain, a great football team, and I think he has got rid of

:07:48.:07:52.

that little error, I have a feeling he liked to get a little too close,

:07:53.:07:55.

and his individual battles sometimes got the better of the bigger

:07:56.:07:58.

picture, which was winning the football match. And that could be a

:07:59.:08:05.

good signing under Antonio Conte, I think he would look after him and

:08:06.:08:08.

get the best out of him. You have Jacob Zuma coming back as well, I

:08:09.:08:14.

would like to see Chelsea backing a centre forward. If you look at James

:08:15.:08:17.

Rodriguez, he is not being used well at Real Madrid,. Those are the

:08:18.:08:23.

thoughts of Trevor Sinclair, West Brom will need to new players,

:08:24.:08:27.

Moussa Sissoko is supposedly on his way to Spurs. Lots to happen over

:08:28.:08:33.

the next 13 hours. Dan Walker is on BBC One at 10.45, and we will have

:08:34.:08:39.

updates on Sports day at half past six and half past ten.

:08:40.:08:45.

Thank you very much. The former head of the British Army tells us he

:08:46.:08:48.

refused to take a drug he knew was being given to his troops because of

:08:49.:08:53.

his concerns about its safety. General Dannatt is speaking for the

:08:54.:08:56.

very first time about his own son's mental health issues after an Army

:08:57.:09:00.

doctor gave him the antimalarial drug Lariam. He says his son,

:09:01.:09:06.

Bertie, a former soldier who had taken Lariam try to becoming a

:09:07.:09:10.

soldier became extremely depressed when he took it in the late 1990s.

:09:11.:09:16.

General Dannatt is urging the Ministry of Defence to show

:09:17.:09:18.

generosity towards service men and women seeking compensation over its

:09:19.:09:23.

effects. This is a snapshot of the film we played you earlier.

:09:24.:09:29.

In an extraordinary revelation, the former head of the British Army

:09:30.:09:33.

tells us he refused to take a drug that was being given to his troops

:09:34.:09:39.

because he didn't think it was safe. General Sir David Richards on at

:09:40.:09:45.

tells us his own son, Bertie, suffered mental health issues after

:09:46.:09:49.

an army doctor gave him Lariam. He was in Africa shortly after taking

:09:50.:09:53.

his first couple of doses, and became very unwell very quickly. He

:09:54.:09:59.

became extremely depressed, not the person that he would normally be, he

:10:00.:10:07.

was normally very bubbly. He got very withdrawn, and we got very

:10:08.:10:10.

worried about him. Have you ever taken Lariam? No. Because Bertie had

:10:11.:10:21.

that effect, whenever I take antimalarial drugs, I said, I will

:10:22.:10:24.

take anything, I am not taking Lariam. And at the same time... I

:10:25.:10:30.

took something else on one occasion and make myself very ill, but that

:10:31.:10:33.

wasn't the mental health issue. You knew you wouldn't take Lariam at the

:10:34.:10:38.

same time as members who were serving under you were taking it.

:10:39.:10:49.

Yes. That is true. But again, I think it was because the

:10:50.:10:54.

organisation hadn't reached a settled view on whether Lariam was

:10:55.:11:01.

beneficial... But if it wasn't good enough you shouldn't have been good

:11:02.:11:06.

anybody serving on the? Because I had first-hand experience of what

:11:07.:11:08.

could happen, I couldn't see the point of putting myself in the same

:11:09.:11:14.

position, so I took something else. But other people were being put in

:11:15.:11:22.

the position. This is true. But I think I come back to the fact that

:11:23.:11:26.

the Ministry of Defence as an organisation was still trying to

:11:27.:11:29.

come to the conclusion in general terms whether the effects were

:11:30.:11:36.

beneficial or harmful. The effect almost immediate. It was as if the

:11:37.:11:42.

wiring in your brain had completely gone or completely rewired. I do get

:11:43.:11:51.

depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts. Since 1997, the British

:11:52.:11:57.

and a formulary which GPs consult when prescribing medicines has made

:11:58.:12:01.

absolutely clear what anyone being given Lariam should be told about

:12:02.:12:06.

it. It lists a series of neuropsychiatric side-effects, and

:12:07.:12:08.

says the drug must be stopped immediately if any of them are

:12:09.:12:11.

experienced. We have spoken to many members of the military who say they

:12:12.:12:16.

were simply not made aware of that. We were just told, this is what you

:12:17.:12:21.

are taking, away you go. Were you told there might be side-effects?

:12:22.:12:27.

Not at all. In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said the vast

:12:28.:12:29.

majority of deployed personnel already receive alternatives to

:12:30.:12:34.

Lariam, and where it is used, it is only prescribed after an individual

:12:35.:12:40.

risk assessment. In many respects, I am a broken man. The Army has broken

:12:41.:12:45.

me, the Government has broken me. Why do the British Government

:12:46.:12:50.

continue to give this drug to it serving members?

:12:51.:12:57.

If you want to share or watch that film again, please head our

:12:58.:13:04.

programme page. We can talk now to Dr Louis Lillywhite, a former

:13:05.:13:10.

Surgeon General in the British Armed Forces the 2009, Alan Duncan whose

:13:11.:13:16.

husband Alistair died last month, he took Lariam during his time in the

:13:17.:13:20.

military. We're also joined by Johnny Mercer, MP on the Defence

:13:21.:13:23.

Select Committee and former Army officer, and from Sydney by Dr Jane

:13:24.:13:26.

Quinn, whose husband Cameron took his own life in 2006, and she feels

:13:27.:13:33.

Lariam played a part in his death. Thank you all very much for joining

:13:34.:13:38.

us. LN, our condolences for the loss of your husband Alistair. In 1993 he

:13:39.:13:51.

was in Bosnia and caught up in an explosion. He had post-traumatic

:13:52.:13:55.

stress disorder, but when he was deployed to Sierra Leone in 2000, he

:13:56.:13:59.

was prescribed Lariam, and you believe Lariam played a part in what

:14:00.:14:05.

happened to him at his death. What is your reaction to hearing General

:14:06.:14:09.

Dannatt say he would have taken any drugs but Lariam for malaria? I

:14:10.:14:14.

think it is very sad that they are put into such a position. I think it

:14:15.:14:19.

is very difficult when you are in that position of command if what is

:14:20.:14:24.

being given is something else, and you feel you shouldn't take it I

:14:25.:14:34.

don't really know how they could have stood out against what was the

:14:35.:14:39.

general orders, because that is what they were, really. They were orders

:14:40.:14:43.

that you took this drug. Why are you so sure that Lariam played a part in

:14:44.:14:48.

what happened to your husband, who had suffered post-traumatic stress

:14:49.:14:53.

disorder? There was a question of post-traumatic stress. There are so

:14:54.:15:00.

many factors, and it is difficult to peace them apart. It was his

:15:01.:15:09.

reaction to drugs to treat the symptoms, he reacted well to

:15:10.:15:13.

anti-convulsants, and Lariam is known to cause seizure disorder. He

:15:14.:15:20.

reacted very badly to anti-psychotics, and to

:15:21.:15:27.

benzodiazepines, they caused paradoxical reactions. The drug is

:15:28.:15:30.

not recommended for anybody who has an existing mental health condition.

:15:31.:15:34.

How do you feel about the fact that he was given Lariam? I think it was

:15:35.:15:39.

very early on in the knowledge of that, so that is a difficult

:15:40.:15:44.

question. But in 1996, they did know it shouldn't have been given if you

:15:45.:15:48.

had any form of question. Let's bring in Jane Quinn from Sydney.

:15:49.:15:54.

Your husband took Lariam in 2001 in Kenya, he took his own life in 2006,

:15:55.:15:59.

and you believe there was a direct link. When you hear General Dannatt

:16:00.:16:03.

say he wouldn't take it, what is your reaction? I'm quite incensed,

:16:04.:16:11.

to be honest. The symptoms that he describes in his son are exactly the

:16:12.:16:15.

same as the symptoms I saw in my own husband. Identical reaction. I wrote

:16:16.:16:24.

to General Dannatt in 2006 after the death of my husband, describing what

:16:25.:16:30.

had happened to him, and asking him, urging him, pleading with him to

:16:31.:16:36.

review the use of Lariam in the British military at that point in

:16:37.:16:40.

time. Certain now know that he actually had pre-existing knowledge

:16:41.:16:45.

of how dangerous this drug could be from personal experience, was

:16:46.:16:50.

refusing to take it himself, but did not intervene to prevent the drug

:16:51.:16:56.

being given without any appropriate information on side-effects to large

:16:57.:17:02.

numbers of troops from that point onwards, I think is unforgivable, to

:17:03.:17:17.

be honest, and I think that also the Surgeon General at the time are

:17:18.:17:20.

culpable in the injury that has been caused thousands of troops who were

:17:21.:17:24.

given this drug without proper prescribing practices, and without

:17:25.:17:28.

records for when their symptoms were acknowledged. I have the Surgeon

:17:29.:17:33.

General Louis Lillywhite sitting next to me right now. Very handily

:17:34.:17:39.

brought in! Let me say out front that obviously Lariam does cause

:17:40.:17:43.

mental health issues, it is acknowledged as doing that. So do

:17:44.:17:48.

some of the other antimalarials, it is not the only other up one that

:17:49.:17:54.

does so. None of them are free from side effects, so it is a balancing

:17:55.:17:57.

act. Last year, half a million people died from malaria. Malaria

:17:58.:18:04.

kills. In the United Kingdom, we had 1500 cases in the United Kingdom. So

:18:05.:18:09.

it is a balancing act, I would make that point. There are other

:18:10.:18:15.

antimalarials yes, they have side-effects... But Lariam

:18:16.:18:18.

specifically, on the fact it was given to troops when it has known

:18:19.:18:21.

side effects, are you completely comfortable that in every case when

:18:22.:18:25.

a soldier was given Lariam that they were given it with the correct

:18:26.:18:28.

guidance, they were given an individual assessment and warned

:18:29.:18:32.

about the possibility of side-effects. It is difficult to say

:18:33.:18:37.

that... Shouldn't you be able to say yes? I should be able to say I am

:18:38.:18:42.

confident in the last four years. Why Emily the last four years?

:18:43.:18:45.

Because policies have developed as convocations have become known.

:18:46.:18:51.

Since 1987, it was in the British and formulary that GPs have... I

:18:52.:18:56.

agree with you, that should be the case. I know that on occasions it

:18:57.:19:01.

didn't happen. But you said in the last four years. That is a lot

:19:02.:19:06.

longer period when warnings should be given. I said with certainty in

:19:07.:19:10.

the last four years because of the way that the organisation has

:19:11.:19:16.

changed. But in terms of what has happened in the past, there have

:19:17.:19:21.

been occasions when almost certainly it was not given with the

:19:22.:19:27.

appropriate advice, as it were, often because of operational

:19:28.:19:33.

reasons. If I might actually say, in 2000, when the Prime Minister said

:19:34.:19:38.

to the Armed Forces, you will go to Sierra Leone and go tomorrow to

:19:39.:19:42.

rescue the British hostages, and to defeat those holding them, you went

:19:43.:19:47.

very quickly, and then of course I think that corners were cut...

:19:48.:19:53.

Are you saying, prior to the last four years, the drug was given

:19:54.:19:59.

without individual prescriptions? No, there might have been occasions

:20:00.:20:04.

when it would have been given. Jane wanted to come in. What has to be

:20:05.:20:09.

acknowledges that it is very likely, from the descriptions that we have

:20:10.:20:17.

been given, so far, and that are available through a number of

:20:18.:20:21.

different resources, but it is likely that the majority of people

:20:22.:20:24.

did not receive appropriate prescribing of Lariam from the time

:20:25.:20:30.

it was instigated in the British formulary for the military through

:20:31.:20:42.

to 2013. We know of 17,336 individuals between 2007 at 2015. At

:20:43.:20:49.

that point, Lariam was the second line antimalarial. Prior to that, it

:20:50.:20:53.

had been the drug of choice for a large number of deployments.

:20:54.:20:58.

The number of deployments prior to that could be substantially higher.

:20:59.:21:05.

It is very clear, from talking to many individuals it was the

:21:06.:21:09.

exception, rather than the rule, for them to receive any information on

:21:10.:21:12.

this drug, despite it being a prescription only drug. For the

:21:13.:21:17.

entire time it has been available in the UK. There is an important point

:21:18.:21:25.

which has not been covered at all. MPs and the population have made it

:21:26.:21:28.

clear to the Armed Forces that we must not withhold from the United

:21:29.:21:33.

Kingdom, the service population, treatments that are recognised and

:21:34.:21:38.

recommended for the general UK population. The decision on whether

:21:39.:21:42.

or not you should use Lariam is made by an expert committee. But it's

:21:43.:21:45.

about whether the appropriate warnings were given or not. If you

:21:46.:21:49.

look at the case specifically of General Dunnett's son, Bertie, he

:21:50.:21:56.

was prescribed Lariam in 1999 by a military doctor, he was not in the

:21:57.:22:00.

army but it was prior to him going into the army. As soon as he

:22:01.:22:04.

suffered side effects he stopped taking it and he suffered mental

:22:05.:22:08.

health issues that required treatment and they were treated. His

:22:09.:22:13.

case shows in 1999 that was recognised, presumably by the people

:22:14.:22:16.

treating him then, that it was vital that any side-effects were dealt

:22:17.:22:21.

with quickly. And that there was a warning so he recognised how to

:22:22.:22:27.

handle it. Indeed, in the early 90s, if you gave Biddulph Grange Lariam,

:22:28.:22:29.

you early to identify whether there were

:22:30.:22:36.

side-effects -- if you gave Lariam. If that wasn't being done in many

:22:37.:22:41.

case, how are there so many cases, 17,000 cases... How come there are

:22:42.:22:47.

so many cases where there have been side-effects and they clearly

:22:48.:22:53.

weren't dealt with? I am not sure of the truthfulness of that figure.

:22:54.:22:57.

Bearing in mind this national committee which is nothing to do

:22:58.:23:01.

with the MOD but a group of experts, looks at all complications of all

:23:02.:23:05.

antimalarial drugs. It will be the case that if they consider the

:23:06.:23:10.

side-effects are significant, and greater than other antimalarial

:23:11.:23:14.

drugs, they withdraw the recommendation. If an individual is

:23:15.:23:18.

told, on taking a drug, if you experience any side effect, you must

:23:19.:23:22.

stop taking it immediately and seek medical treatment. Yes. You would do

:23:23.:23:30.

it, wouldn't you? Yes. Clearly, people weren't always reporting.

:23:31.:23:34.

That is right. Alistair was given something else but it appears he

:23:35.:23:38.

took both. Because he was so affected. You can be so affected,

:23:39.:23:43.

immediately. Soldiers tend to follow orders. If he had misunderstood,

:23:44.:23:48.

which is very likely, because it says six months later he is still

:23:49.:23:52.

taking it appears not to be a problem, he said, I was having bad

:23:53.:23:56.

dreams, terrible dreams from Bosnia. He said, I didn't realise this was

:23:57.:24:02.

so serious. Was he told he should stop taking it? He was. No, I don't

:24:03.:24:09.

know. He was given something else but he appeared to be taking both.

:24:10.:24:13.

Nowadays, there would be an individual risk assessment where the

:24:14.:24:17.

doctor looks at the notes, looks at past medical history and will make

:24:18.:24:20.

an individual decision on that basis. Back in the early 90s and

:24:21.:24:25.

2000, the soldiers will be told, this could cause side-effects. They

:24:26.:24:30.

would be given the drug in advance of deployment. There may be one

:24:31.:24:32.

exception. They are told they get side-effects

:24:33.:24:40.

and dreams are one that dominate. If that happens, they should stop

:24:41.:24:44.

taking drugs and given another one instead and that is what I believe

:24:45.:24:49.

happens. It isn't happening. This is anecdotal, we know of one young man

:24:50.:24:53.

who was sent to Afghanistan, Mehdi back back with a bad reaction, sent

:24:54.:24:59.

back at three months later was given it again. Let's bring in Johnny, he

:25:00.:25:03.

carried out the report, health select committee, what is your

:25:04.:25:06.

reaction to what you are hearing, today?

:25:07.:25:10.

I'm listening very clearly to what the Surgeon General is saying and I

:25:11.:25:15.

get a bit tired of families constantly being told that malaria

:25:16.:25:18.

is a killer and all drugs have side effects, everybody knows that. This

:25:19.:25:22.

is a very clear case that the manufacturer said, if you give out

:25:23.:25:25.

this drug, which is very effective against malaria, which is a killer

:25:26.:25:29.

disease, you need to go through these procedures. Those procedures

:25:30.:25:32.

were not followed, it is as simple as that. What Lord Dannatt has said,

:25:33.:25:40.

I know Bertie, I know his son, I'm just very sorry there seems to have

:25:41.:25:43.

been so much collateral damage on this pathway to getting people

:25:44.:25:48.

looked after, properly, when it comes to dispensing this drug.

:25:49.:25:53.

Malaria is extremely dangerous. It's a killer. It killed a lot of people,

:25:54.:25:58.

last year, as we have just heard. But it is not good enough to simply

:25:59.:26:02.

say, we should do this differently, because I know someone who has been

:26:03.:26:06.

affected by it. Or something like that. It is one of these issues,

:26:07.:26:11.

such as veteran's care or mental health, we've got to get with the

:26:12.:26:14.

programme on this. I don't understand why it takes so long in

:26:15.:26:17.

the country at the moment. I understand we are totally sort of,

:26:18.:26:23.

fixated on Brexit and so on, but none of this stuff happens, healthy

:26:24.:26:28.

economy, without the Armed Forces. Without getting defence right. A

:26:29.:26:32.

fundamental part of defence is looking after people. I don't know

:26:33.:26:35.

why it takes us so long to understand that. Your committee

:26:36.:26:43.

called for a near complete ban on Lariam, do you think there should be

:26:44.:26:47.

a total ban? Do you think there should be a more detailed report,

:26:48.:26:50.

looking back over what happened in the past?

:26:51.:26:54.

I think that is for the scientists, and those who are extremely clever,

:26:55.:27:01.

far cleverer than me, and all these matters to work out exactly what

:27:02.:27:04.

needs to be done. If you are going to use a drug that have clear

:27:05.:27:11.

guidelines on the use by manufacturers... If you give it to

:27:12.:27:13.

people with pre-existing mental health condition, they will get a

:27:14.:27:16.

lot worse. You should simply not be using it. It is a fairly basic

:27:17.:27:21.

point. All those points about malaria being a killer, all drugs

:27:22.:27:25.

having side-effects, yes, absolutely. But, if you are going to

:27:26.:27:29.

use this drug, you need to use it within these very clear parameters,

:27:30.:27:33.

set down by the manufacturer. If you don't do that, you need to explain

:27:34.:27:37.

why you haven't been doing that and look after people properly.

:27:38.:27:41.

That is absolutely right. I would not differ from anything that he

:27:42.:27:47.

said. If it's used, we know it needs to go through this individual risk

:27:48.:27:50.

assessment. We need to make sure, as I said, that the history doesn't

:27:51.:27:55.

include any mental health. Now. But what about those in the past, who

:27:56.:28:01.

were not dealt with in that way? This belies the... What do you want

:28:02.:28:07.

me to say about both? How do you put it right? If they have ongoing

:28:08.:28:11.

issues, that is something I think the Minister of the Armed Forces has

:28:12.:28:15.

said, has he not, that we will look into. It's not for me to be able to

:28:16.:28:19.

give you an opinion on that, but it is quite clear to me that if anybody

:28:20.:28:23.

in the Armed Forces has suffered illness or injury, as a result of

:28:24.:28:27.

anything that has happened to them in service, there should be

:28:28.:28:32.

appropriate compensation for that. That is a process that I hope the

:28:33.:28:36.

Ministry of Defence will go to. I understand it will. You are

:28:37.:28:40.

absolutely right, if anyone is damaged by virtue of their service,

:28:41.:28:44.

they need to be taken care of. Their needs to be appropriate measures in

:28:45.:28:47.

place to compensate them, that is absolutely right. But we do not have

:28:48.:28:51.

the facilities to care for them. The fact that my husband spent a year in

:28:52.:28:56.

a short stay unit, seven months he was held in the extra care area,

:28:57.:28:59.

which is effectively a corridor, with a piece of land with a green

:29:00.:29:03.

chain-link fence around it, made him feel it was a military prison. While

:29:04.:29:09.

they experimented with 20 different psychoactive medications. Absolutely

:29:10.:29:19.

unacceptable. I have everything documented. I warned, each time,

:29:20.:29:22.

please don't give him this, it happened. It got worse and worse.

:29:23.:29:24.

When we got him somewhere, we don't have the facilities. We need units.

:29:25.:29:27.

That is not a stand-alone case. There is... Chain just wanted to

:29:28.:29:37.

come in. -- Jane. There is huge stigma around this. When the

:29:38.:29:40.

Ministry of Defence is essentially denying or has been denying for a

:29:41.:29:46.

decade or more, that this is a serious health issue and it has been

:29:47.:29:51.

caused by taking this drug for active service in this particular

:29:52.:29:55.

population, remember, we only had a tacit admission of that in the last

:29:56.:30:02.

6-8 months, there has been enormous difficulty in people being able to

:30:03.:30:06.

access the right care, because this drug has not been taken into account

:30:07.:30:14.

in their diagnosis. As we have clearly identified, the damage that

:30:15.:30:18.

is done to the brain by Lariam, a physical damage at a chemical level,

:30:19.:30:25.

is not something that can be ignored, when looking at the use of

:30:26.:30:29.

various different drugs to treat the symptoms. Even though the symptoms

:30:30.:30:32.

may be very similar to a number of other psychiatric disorders.

:30:33.:31:39.

Whether it is caused by PTSD or something else. There are features

:31:40.:31:45.

which make it unique, but it is not easy. But in the case of Lariam, is

:31:46.:31:51.

any soldier given Lariam and not warned about the side-effects, were

:31:52.:31:52.

they let down? I can't identify any but I cannot

:31:53.:32:02.

say absolutely not. You said it is only in the last four years that the

:32:03.:32:05.

warnings for individual prescriptions would have been

:32:06.:32:08.

happening. There are a lot of people out there who have mental health

:32:09.:32:14.

issues in the veteran community. It is in this particular community that

:32:15.:32:17.

it is so important, because they are exposed to other factors such as

:32:18.:32:20.

blast injuries, traumatic things they see.

:32:21.:37:05.

The meeting will be held at Chequers, the Prime Minister's

:37:06.:37:08.

Senior ministers have been asked to consider the opportunities

:37:09.:37:13.

A 17-year-old boy has died after being pulled from the sea

:37:14.:37:21.

at the mouth of the River Wear in Sunderland.

:37:22.:37:25.

A search and rescue operation was launched

:37:26.:37:26.

teenagers in a dinghy ran into problems on the water.

:37:27.:37:31.

Two girls and another boy were quickly rescued.

:37:32.:37:32.

The 17-year-old boy was airlifted to hospital in Newcastle,

:37:33.:37:35.

A senior commander of the Islamist terror group,

:37:36.:37:45.

Media linked to IS says Abu Muhammad al-Adnani

:37:46.:37:52.

It hasn't given any details of how he died, however the US military

:37:53.:37:58.

confirmed it targeted him during an air strike on Tuesday.

:37:59.:38:00.

Officials are still assessing the results.

:38:01.:38:02.

A teenage boy remains in custody after a 40-year-old Polish man

:38:03.:38:04.

was killed in Harlow in Essex at the weekend.

:38:05.:38:08.

The man, named locally, was attacked on Saturday and died on Monday.

:38:09.:38:17.

In total five 15-year-old boys and one 16-year-old boy were

:38:18.:38:20.

A vigil is being held in Harlow today.

:38:21.:38:27.

That's a summary of the latest news, join me for BBC Newsroom

:38:28.:38:30.

Let's catch up with the sport again now.

:38:31.:38:39.

It is transfer deadline day, and plenty of players on the move before

:38:40.:38:42.

tonight's deadline. Manchester City's striker Wilfried Bony has

:38:43.:38:47.

said he is looking forward to an exciting new challenge, he is in

:38:48.:38:56.

talks with Stoke over a transfer. He cost ?25 million in 2016. Another

:38:57.:38:58.

player out the door at the Etihad will be Joe Hart, the England

:38:59.:39:02.

goalkeeper out-of-favour under Pep Guardiola will complete his transfer

:39:03.:39:14.

to Torino. Jack Wilshire is going out on loan from Arsenal, Crystal

:39:15.:39:17.

Palace and Bournemouth the favourites to sign him. The total is

:39:18.:39:25.

now over ?1 billion. England posted the highest ever

:39:26.:39:27.

one-day international total yesterday to secure a series victory

:39:28.:39:33.

over Pakistan. Out of the eight Brits at the US Open tennis, five

:39:34.:39:37.

are now through to the second round at Flushing Meadows, with Andy

:39:38.:39:40.

Murray, Naomi Brodie and Dan Evans all progressing on the second day in

:39:41.:39:46.

New York. I am off to put a suit on, and I will see you on the BBC News

:39:47.:39:49.

Channel at 11.15! Thank you.

:39:50.:39:53.

One of so-called Islamic State's snenior

:39:54.:39:55.

Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, who led IS's propaganda campaign,

:39:56.:40:08.

His death was confirmed by US media. Frank Gardner is here. Tell us more

:40:09.:40:15.

about him. He is more than just a senior commander. He is probably the

:40:16.:40:20.

second most high-profile figure in so-called Islamic State, second only

:40:21.:40:28.

to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This is someone who has been sending a

:40:29.:40:32.

stream of vitriol out onto the Internet, encouraging people to

:40:33.:40:35.

carry out so-called lone wolf attacks, telling people to attack

:40:36.:40:39.

pretty much all the enemies of IS, which ranges from Bangladesh to

:40:40.:40:47.

Turkey to Orlando to Nice. He called for a whole lot of intensification

:40:48.:40:50.

of attacks jeering Ramadan, and sure enough, it was the bloodiest Ramadan

:40:51.:40:57.

in recent history. This is someone who was considered extremely

:40:58.:41:00.

dangerous, he was a senior planner and somebody who was very good at

:41:01.:41:06.

organising groups of people to come together and then form attack plans

:41:07.:41:09.

overseas. So it is a loss for them. They will replace him, but he was

:41:10.:41:12.

one of the original founding members of so-called IS when it was Islamic

:41:13.:41:22.

State in Iraq. He is a Syrian, and it is not quite clear how he died,

:41:23.:41:29.

because IS say he was killed whilst surveying operations in Aleppo

:41:30.:41:34.

province, and the Americans say they targeted him on Tuesday, but they

:41:35.:41:37.

haven't confirmed that they killed him necessarily in an air strike.

:41:38.:41:41.

You say he will be replaced. How significant you think this killing

:41:42.:41:46.

is? It is significant, he will be replaced by somebody you and I have

:41:47.:41:50.

never heard of, who in turn will get killed in an air strike or a battle

:41:51.:41:56.

with a rival group, but they are running out of people with the kind

:41:57.:42:00.

of experience that this man had. He had a rare blend of oratory and

:42:01.:42:08.

oratorical skills and military strategic planning. Look what

:42:09.:42:13.

happened to Al-Qaeda after Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011. Who is the

:42:14.:42:16.

leader today? I challenge you to name him. I am not trying to test

:42:17.:42:21.

you, the point is most people don't know who he is. Al-Qaeda has

:42:22.:42:26.

haemorrhaged support as IS has taken over from them because the guy has

:42:27.:42:33.

no charisma. This guy had a certain amount of charisma among troubled

:42:34.:42:36.

people, and he encouraged people to do very bad things and kill innocent

:42:37.:42:40.

people, so his departure from the scene has made the world slightly

:42:41.:42:45.

safer place. Thank you, Frank. As we have been hearing, Theresa May is

:42:46.:42:49.

sharing a brainstorming summit on how to negotiate the UK's exit from

:42:50.:42:54.

EU at Chequers, her country resident. Glenn Campbell is there.

:42:55.:43:01.

What are they aiming to do, and is it likely? Brexit is not the only

:43:02.:43:07.

issue, but it is top of the Government's agenda, as Cabinet

:43:08.:43:12.

meets here at Chequers for the first time since Parliament broke up for

:43:13.:43:16.

the summer break. And here we are, more than two months on from the

:43:17.:43:20.

vote to leave the European Union, and what is striking, Joanna, is how

:43:21.:43:25.

little we actually know about what Brexit means. Theresa May has

:43:26.:43:28.

repeatedly used the catchphrase Brexit means Brexit, in that she

:43:29.:43:33.

thinks there should be no attempt to try and remain inside the EU, no

:43:34.:43:40.

attempt to try to rejoin it by the back door, no second referendum, but

:43:41.:43:49.

beyond that, no attempt to set out in any detail what future

:43:50.:43:52.

relationship with the EU she is setting out the UK. Their husband

:43:53.:43:55.

something approaching a summer of silence. -- there has been something

:43:56.:44:02.

approaching a summer of silence. And they have gone to the table with the

:44:03.:44:05.

aim of coming up with a collective view. How likely is it that that

:44:06.:44:10.

will be achieved? I don't think that will be particularly easy. Obviously

:44:11.:44:15.

the referendum was divisive, the Cabinet has about a third of its

:44:16.:44:19.

members who favoured a cat might leave vote, and two thirds who

:44:20.:44:26.

backed the Remain campaign. Theresa May sent away her ministers and

:44:27.:44:32.

tasked with looking at what opportunities Brexit might bring in

:44:33.:44:35.

their area of responsibility, so today is a chance for them to report

:44:36.:44:40.

back to the wider Cabinet, and it has also said that the new

:44:41.:44:45.

Department for exiting the European Union under David Davis has been

:44:46.:44:48.

drawing up an options paper which could also form an important part of

:44:49.:44:53.

those discussions, but there are some big decisions for them to take,

:44:54.:44:57.

such as should the UK seek to remain a full member of the EU single

:44:58.:45:04.

market, that massive market of 500 million consumers? If it does, it is

:45:05.:45:08.

likely that the UK would have to continue contributing to the EU

:45:09.:45:12.

budget, and would have to continue to accept the free movement of

:45:13.:45:16.

people. Areas that may be unacceptable to some of those who

:45:17.:45:23.

campaigned hard for a Leave vote. Those and other issues need to be

:45:24.:45:27.

sorted out before the UK will be in a position to start to negotiate its

:45:28.:45:31.

exit from the EU by triggering so-called Article 50, and Theresa

:45:32.:45:35.

May has made clear she won't be in a position to do that before the end

:45:36.:45:37.

of this year. Thoughts of you getting in touch on

:45:38.:45:50.

our Lariam report, the comments by the former general of the army that

:45:51.:45:55.

he would not take Lariam after his late son to get in the late 1990s.

:45:56.:46:00.

Bill said, our GP happily prescribed Lariam, after two days of nausea, we

:46:01.:46:10.

stopped using it, we preferred to run the risk of malaria. Michael has

:46:11.:46:16.

said, it has saved my life on two occasions. Sharon has said my

:46:17.:46:19.

husband is one of these fallen men who dedicated his life for 33 years,

:46:20.:46:25.

and it finished at me in a tour to Sierra Leone and the gift of

:46:26.:46:29.

epilepsy. Flown home and left alone, no medical contact all concerned.

:46:30.:46:38.

Medical notes went missing. Brian e-mailed. In 1999, I was serving on

:46:39.:46:45.

secondment in Uganda. Lariam Was the drug of choice for malarial

:46:46.:46:52.

protection. We were offered an alternative. This did not prevent

:46:53.:46:56.

malaria but cure it as you were bitten because you had a large dose

:46:57.:47:01.

of antibiotic in your system. Abdullah says, could this affects to

:47:02.:47:06.

ordinary citizens? I now know its effects, I have been suffering from

:47:07.:47:11.

anxiety, nightmares and changes in my behaviour including being

:47:12.:47:16.

frightened to travel by air. Another tweet, no antimalarial drug is free

:47:17.:47:20.

from side effects but it has an exhausted list of almost every side

:47:21.:47:22.

effect, that is not good. Some children are starting

:47:23.:47:24.

to worry about body image at a surprisingly young age,

:47:25.:47:27.

according to a new study. Research from a charity,

:47:28.:47:31.

which works with nursery school-age children suggests that

:47:32.:47:35.

children as young as three

:47:36.:47:38.

will sometimes refer to their 'fat tummies',

:47:39.:47:40.

with the problem getting more acute In the studio are Dr

:47:41.:47:42.

Jacqueline Harding from the Professional Association

:47:43.:47:45.

for Childcare and Early Years, the charity which carried out

:47:46.:47:48.

the study and Kayleigh Hollingsworth, who's

:47:49.:47:50.

an Early Years Practitioner running Thank you for joining us.

:47:51.:48:02.

Jacqueline, kids as young as three? There is a wealth of evidence and

:48:03.:48:06.

research for older children around this. Around self-image,

:48:07.:48:10.

self-esteem, what they are thinking of themselves. This is fairly new,

:48:11.:48:14.

to be looking at such young children. This is the age where the

:48:15.:48:21.

foundations for who you are again. It is really significant. And

:48:22.:48:25.

important that we look at this mental processing that these little

:48:26.:48:28.

ones are having around their body image. Because it has emotional

:48:29.:48:34.

significance. Do you really see examples of kids as young as three

:48:35.:48:38.

expressing anxiety around their bodies. I am sad to say we are

:48:39.:48:44.

picking up now. Give us some examples of what they have said.

:48:45.:48:50.

Things around what they are looking at, whether they should be wearing

:48:51.:48:56.

those shoes, does this look right with my dress, are you sure? They

:48:57.:49:02.

are expressing concern over their hair, their tummies, whether they

:49:03.:49:06.

are fat, whether they are ugly, it is quite disturbing, such a young

:49:07.:49:07.

age. You work in a nursery, is this

:49:08.:49:19.

something you've ever come across? Yes. It's becoming more and more

:49:20.:49:24.

noticeable. I've been in early years for 11 years now. The example we

:49:25.:49:29.

gave about fat tummies, there are children that are aware of their

:49:30.:49:33.

parents trying to lose weight. Even though the parents aren't saying

:49:34.:49:36.

anything negative about the child, they are picking up on... "You know,

:49:37.:49:42.

I can't eat that, because I have a flat tummy or that will make me

:49:43.:49:46.

fat". You have heard children as young as three saying that? Yes,

:49:47.:49:50.

over the whole of my career, not just now. I have worked in

:49:51.:49:55.

nurseries, I've been a nanny, I've been in schools. Plenty of other

:49:56.:49:59.

examples, even what Jacqueline was saying with shoes, they cannot get

:50:00.:50:03.

their shoes wet, they can't wear them because they are Princess

:50:04.:50:08.

shoes. You blame the parents? Not at all. That is why we are doing the

:50:09.:50:12.

research, because we are here to educate everyone, practitioners as

:50:13.:50:13.

well. Where are they getting the ideas from, Breese -- preschool

:50:14.:50:21.

kids. Multifaceted. If we look at some animation is why it is all just

:50:22.:50:28.

too perfect, parents taking selfies, we need to be careful, the sort of

:50:29.:50:32.

things we are saying around young children because they may be looking

:50:33.:50:37.

at a book or playing with an iPhone or what ever, but they are really

:50:38.:50:41.

picking up on the messages around them. If parents and adults can be a

:50:42.:50:46.

bit careful about what they are saying about themselves. For

:50:47.:50:51.

example, if you think your eyes are too closely sets together or your

:50:52.:50:55.

nose isn't the right shape, it is the thing not to say around your

:50:56.:51:01.

child. Isn't it obvious? It is obvious but because I have seen it

:51:02.:51:05.

so many times, because they are half the size, we assume they have half

:51:06.:51:10.

the hearing. They are just absorbing everything going on around them.

:51:11.:51:14.

What are your concerns about the impact? Don't we want a society

:51:15.:51:20.

where we value, much more, what's on the inside? For example,

:51:21.:51:27.

helpfulness, kindness. Creativity. That's brilliant, I saw you solve

:51:28.:51:33.

that problem, rather than on firming and praising the outward appearance.

:51:34.:51:38.

Surely parents are doing that as well? We all try our best, but

:51:39.:51:43.

sometimes we are just not aware that being a role model, we need to be

:51:44.:51:47.

very careful about what we say around children. They are all ears

:51:48.:51:53.

when it comes to the kind of messages we are saying about

:51:54.:51:58.

ourselves. What do you think about that?

:51:59.:52:01.

I totally agree, we are all guilty of it even me, I am a qualified

:52:02.:52:08.

early years teacher. Things slip out that you don't realise. If they are

:52:09.:52:12.

wearing a new dress, you say, that dress is beautiful, but we should

:52:13.:52:16.

praise the child for what they can do. It is not all about body image.

:52:17.:52:21.

You can tell a child they look lovely, can't you? Of course you

:52:22.:52:25.

can, I am not saying that but it is getting to the point, when I took

:52:26.:52:30.

part in the study, I am 29 years old but I still hate wearing my glasses

:52:31.:52:33.

because children picked up that I wore glasses when I was younger. It

:52:34.:52:39.

is as simple as that, when you are three, four, five, they pick

:52:40.:52:44.

everything up, they are sponges. It is the developmental process that

:52:45.:52:48.

needs to be understood. It is how we build a view of who we are. We don't

:52:49.:52:52.

suddenly arrive as a teenager and then decide about body image, it

:52:53.:52:57.

starts at a very early age. As Caley said, growing up, it was the kids

:52:58.:53:01.

talking about your glasses. -- Kayleigh. That can't be policed,

:53:02.:53:06.

children will say what they say. Adults can think more carefully.

:53:07.:53:11.

Absolutely. It is around protective factors, what can we do to make our

:53:12.:53:16.

children a bit more resilient? A bit more able to combat things, when

:53:17.:53:22.

they happen. That's what I mean about putting in some sort of

:53:23.:53:27.

inoculation. And anaesthetic. How do you do that? Be very careful of the

:53:28.:53:31.

words that we use and the values we are placing around what is going on

:53:32.:53:36.

in the inside, who we are as people. Also to point out presumably that

:53:37.:53:39.

things will be said and how to shake it off. Of course. Have that

:53:40.:53:44.

conversation. Little ones in an age appropriate way, you can describe to

:53:45.:53:48.

them how photographs are manipulated, to look better

:53:49.:54:00.

and to be enhanced. That isn't real life. They are onto that,

:54:01.:54:03.

straightaway, as you explain that, I get it, they say. Life isn't as

:54:04.:54:06.

perfect as it might seem. They can take credit for understanding a lot

:54:07.:54:08.

more. The earlier we start with giving this kind of protective
