:00:00. > :00:07.Hello, it's Thursday, nine o'clock. I'm Victoria Derbyshire.

:00:08. > :00:12.Theresa May paves the way for more grammar schools,

:00:13. > :00:15.despite fierce opposition from many, including her chief

:00:16. > :00:20.He says the idea poor pupils will benefit is "tosh".

:00:21. > :00:34.Also, female students Telus sexual harassment at university is out of

:00:35. > :00:40.control, with more than half of them experiencing it. -- tell us. And

:00:41. > :00:48.Britain's Paralympians are hoping to beat their medal haul from London

:00:49. > :00:53.2012 as the Rio get under way. Sorry, that was my phone. It is on

:00:54. > :00:57.silent now! We will be previewing the action.

:00:58. > :01:03.Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

:01:04. > :01:05.We're also talking about the new iPhone 7.

:01:06. > :01:07.Lots of people are unhappy because Apple has ditched

:01:08. > :01:19.You have to buy some really expensive, daft looking headphones

:01:20. > :01:22.for it to work. We will find out how it affects its success.

:01:23. > :01:24.We'll also be talking to the headteacher who's sent more

:01:25. > :01:27.than 50 children home this week for flouting his school's

:01:28. > :01:37.This guy is straight. We will also talk to one of the girls he sent

:01:38. > :01:41.home and her dad. She is not in school again today. We will talk to

:01:42. > :01:42.them after ten o'clock. Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:43. > :01:45.we're talking about this morning - use the hashtag Victoria LIVE

:01:46. > :01:49.and if you text, you will be charged Theresa May has defended

:01:50. > :02:02.plans for new or expanded More Than This from Norman Smith.

:02:03. > :02:11.What has Theresa May said? This is Theresa May's big non-Brexit idea,

:02:12. > :02:15.reintroducing grammar schools, which she hopes will boost social mobility

:02:16. > :02:18.and give poorer families a better chance in life. You may see a

:02:19. > :02:22.kerfuffle behind me in a minute because the president of the

:02:23. > :02:28.European Council, Donald Tusk, is arriving for crucial Brexit talks

:02:29. > :02:35.with Theresa May. There he is now just going in. That is what is going

:02:36. > :02:38.on now. But the big moment now is really Theresa May deciding she

:02:39. > :02:46.wants to reintroduce grammar schools. Hugely controversial. There

:02:47. > :02:50.is Mrs May. Let's have a look. Mrs May, do you want to reintroduce

:02:51. > :02:59.grammar schools? RU in favour grammar schools? -- are you in

:03:00. > :03:06.favour? She has got other things to talk about. Let me just recap. It is

:03:07. > :03:09.a massive moment because grammar schools are hugely divisive. Many

:03:10. > :03:14.people view them as socially divisive. If you are thinking of

:03:15. > :03:18.really controversial policies, grammar schools are right up there

:03:19. > :03:25.with fox hunting and inheritance tax. It is a big move by Mrs May.

:03:26. > :03:29.What do Labour say about the possibility of more grammar schools

:03:30. > :03:36.are being introduced or current one is expanding? Not just Labour. There

:03:37. > :03:42.is massive opposition to the idea across the political spectrum, even

:03:43. > :03:46.in our own party, where there are a number of MPs and local council

:03:47. > :03:50.leaders who are deeply wary of the -- reintroducing grammar schools. It

:03:51. > :03:57.is not a given, actually, that Theresa May can do this. Many people

:03:58. > :04:02.will argue she does not have a mandate as it was not in the

:04:03. > :04:05.Conservative Party manifesto. Her officials are uncertain they can get

:04:06. > :04:11.this through the House of Lords. This really is a dramatic move by

:04:12. > :04:18.Mrs May. It is a high risk strategy. Although she thinks it plays to

:04:19. > :04:22.ambitions of encouraging social mobility, many people will take the

:04:23. > :04:29.view this is deeply conservative, harping back to the 50s and 60s. The

:04:30. > :04:33.danger is it is undermining the central pitch of her premiership.

:04:34. > :04:37.Thank you, Norman. We will talk more about grammar schools later. Really

:04:38. > :04:41.interesting to get a feeling of where you stand. Whatever your

:04:42. > :04:43.background, whether you consider yourself working class or

:04:44. > :04:47.middle-class, tell us what you think. We will talk about it later.

:04:48. > :04:50.Annita McVeigh's in the BBC newsroom with a summary

:04:51. > :04:56.A review into England's flood defences will be published today.

:04:57. > :05:00.It was commissioned by the government after record

:05:01. > :05:02.rainfall last winter caused flooding, resulting in more

:05:03. > :05:04.than ?1 billion worth of insurance claims.

:05:05. > :05:13.Wave after wave of huge storms rolled in last winter.

:05:14. > :05:15.The nightmare began in early December.

:05:16. > :05:19.Cumbria was hit with a month's rain in the space of a single day.

:05:20. > :05:24.The centre of Carlisle and homes around it quickly went under.

:05:25. > :05:29.From the air, I saw for myself the vast reach of the waters.

:05:30. > :05:32.Downstream in Cockermouth, the town's Christmas tree stood

:05:33. > :05:40.Over Christmas and then into the New Year, further deluges

:05:41. > :05:46.In York, military helicopters had to be deployed to help fix

:05:47. > :05:51.Rescue teams were praised for their bravery, in getting people

:05:52. > :05:55.to safety, but critics raised questions about the government's

:05:56. > :06:01.handling of the crisis - did you spend enough on defences?

:06:02. > :06:08.Were the computer models used to make forecasts up for the job?

:06:09. > :06:13.Would the government had done more if the same floods had hit southern

:06:14. > :06:17.Today there will be a look at how ministers will prepare the country

:06:18. > :06:21.for the next big storm as winter approaches.

:06:22. > :06:24.And we'll be bringing you more on that story

:06:25. > :06:26.on the Victoria Derbyshire programme once that report's published

:06:27. > :06:32.A leading member of a group representing hundreds of people

:06:33. > :06:35.who suffered abuse in children's homes run by Lambeth Council

:06:36. > :06:37.in south London, says he's lost faith in the independent inquiry

:06:38. > :06:44.Raymond Stevenson represents those who attended the Shirley Oaks home

:06:45. > :06:50.He says he no longer has confidence that the inquiry

:06:51. > :06:56.The Home Secretary has rejected a claim by the former chair

:06:57. > :06:58.of the inquiry that she'd been prevented from choosing

:06:59. > :07:05.The number of children seeking counselling

:07:06. > :07:09.because they are considering suicide has more than doubled in five years,

:07:10. > :07:13.Turbulent home lives, pressure at school and mental health

:07:14. > :07:16.conditions were all major triggers for suicidal thoughts,

:07:17. > :07:20.with children as young as 10 contacting the charity for help.

:07:21. > :07:26.Liam was very, very funny. He liked playing jokes on people.

:07:27. > :07:28.Six years ago, Aaron's younger brother Liam took his own life.

:07:29. > :07:36.I noticed he was acting differently, he was very quiet.

:07:37. > :07:40.You know, some of the things he was saying, he was asking me

:07:41. > :07:43.There was obviously something with him that he didn't feel

:07:44. > :07:47.comfortable speaking about, especially to someone like myself,

:07:48. > :07:49.we spoke about everything, but obviously on this occasion

:07:50. > :07:55.ChildLine says a child with suicidal thoughts is contacting their charity

:07:56. > :07:58.every 30 minutes and, although some children may call

:07:59. > :08:02.a number of times, that's nearly 20,000 calls in the past year.

:08:03. > :08:05.10% more than the previous year and more than double the figure

:08:06. > :08:11.This is one of 12 ChildLine call centres around the UK.

:08:12. > :08:14.Children calling in here, some as young as ten,

:08:15. > :08:17.say pressures at school, problems at home, bullying and abuse

:08:18. > :08:23.The Children's Commissioner for England recently highlighted

:08:24. > :08:26.a lack of adequate mental health services for children,

:08:27. > :08:28.and ChildLine believe this may be behind the increase

:08:29. > :08:35.What's very important, and the NSPCC is campaigning

:08:36. > :08:39.on this, is that the government invests resources into providing

:08:40. > :08:44.mental health support for children at a much earlier stage.

:08:45. > :08:48.The Government says it's investing a record ?1.4 billion to help young

:08:49. > :08:52.people before they reach crisis point.

:08:53. > :08:55.ChildLine said winter is a particularly difficult time

:08:56. > :09:00.for many of the children who contact them, but that the increasing calls

:09:01. > :09:06.could also mean that children are now more willing ask for help.

:09:07. > :09:10.Britain is to send another 100 soldiers to join a UN peacekeeping

:09:11. > :09:14.The country gained independence five years ago but has

:09:15. > :09:19.Three hundred British troops are already in the process

:09:20. > :09:22.of being deployed and the defence secretary, Michael Fallon,

:09:23. > :09:26.says the move will help to keep the UK safe.

:09:27. > :09:28.Eighty countries are taking part in a conference in London to discuss

:09:29. > :09:33.Three weeks before their first head-to-head TV debate,

:09:34. > :09:36.the two main American presidential candidates have taken part

:09:37. > :09:41.in question and answer sessions with military veterans.

:09:42. > :09:43.The Democrats' Hillary Clinton was forced to defend her judgement

:09:44. > :09:49.after being quizzed about the controversy

:09:50. > :09:51.over her deleted emails, while Republican candidate

:09:52. > :09:52.Donald Trump complimented Russia's President Putin and refused

:09:53. > :09:55.to disclose details of his heralded plan to defeat so-called

:09:56. > :10:01.Our Washington correspondent, Laura Bicker, reports.

:10:02. > :10:05.Hillary Clinton is dogged by one key question -

:10:06. > :10:09.She was repeatedly asked about her use

:10:10. > :10:13.of a private e-mail server while she was Secretary of State

:10:14. > :10:18.and whether that compromised classified material.

:10:19. > :10:21.It was a mistake to have a personal account.

:10:22. > :10:24.I would certainly not do it again. I make no excuses for it.

:10:25. > :10:28.Her years of experience are both a blessing and a curse.

:10:29. > :10:30.She has supported military action in the past, including

:10:31. > :10:36.She now says this was a mistake and her

:10:37. > :10:39.strategy to fight the Islamic State does not involve troops

:10:40. > :10:45.We need to wage this war against Isis in the air,

:10:46. > :10:48.on the ground and online in cyberspace.

:10:49. > :10:50.For Donald Trump there was no political

:10:51. > :10:53.record to question, just his own words.

:10:54. > :10:56.He once said he knew more than the generals when it came

:10:57. > :11:03.I think under the leadership of Barack Obama and

:11:04. > :11:05.Hillary Clinton the generals have been reduced to rubble.

:11:06. > :11:07.They have been reduced to a point where it's

:11:08. > :11:12.of Russia's President Vladimir Putin.

:11:13. > :11:16.I think when he calls me brilliant I'll take the compliment.

:11:17. > :11:19.This was the first chance for both candidates to form lines of attack

:11:20. > :11:33.The head-to-head debate is in just two weeks' time.

:11:34. > :11:40.Some news just coming in. Two men have been arrested in London today

:11:41. > :11:47.on suspicion of being involved in terrorism. The men, aged 19 and 20,

:11:48. > :11:51.were in bed -- arrested in west London as part of a preplanned

:11:52. > :11:53.intelligence operation by the Met police counterterrorist command.

:11:54. > :11:55.A parliamentary committee is to recommend that all MPs

:11:56. > :11:57.and Peers vacate both Houses of Parliament for six years

:11:58. > :12:03.Parts of the Palace of Westminster are so riddled with asbestos

:12:04. > :12:06.and ageing electrics, it's been said the building will be

:12:07. > :12:14.The report will suggest relocating to nearby offices, as early as 2020.

:12:15. > :12:18.The tech giant Apple unveiled its latest version of the iPhone

:12:19. > :12:21.The new device has attracted controversy for not having

:12:22. > :12:26.The launch of the iPhone 7, which is also water-resistant

:12:27. > :12:31.and has a two-lens camera, comes after a year of falling iPhone

:12:32. > :12:35.sales and a decline in Apple's share of the phone market.

:12:36. > :12:39.Madonna and Guy Ritchie have settled a court dispute over the custody

:12:40. > :12:46.A spokesman for the New York State court system said the pair had

:13:00. > :13:04.That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30.

:13:05. > :13:08.In a moment, sexual harassment at university.

:13:09. > :13:10.If you've suffered, especially during freshers' week,

:13:11. > :13:14.Use the hashtag Victoria LIVE and If you text,

:13:15. > :13:17.you will be charged at the standard network rate. Let's get some sport.

:13:18. > :13:21.And the Paralympics is underway, what can we expect over

:13:22. > :13:31.Good morning. There were more superb scenes from Rio yesterday. The

:13:32. > :13:36.Paralympic Games was lost in brilliant fashion last night. We

:13:37. > :13:42.should expect a raft of success stories. 121 medals is the target

:13:43. > :13:46.for Britain. One more than they did in London. It was a vibrant and

:13:47. > :13:52.colourful scene at the Maracana Stadium. We should expect a party

:13:53. > :13:56.atmosphere over the next ten days. There was music, there was singing,

:13:57. > :14:03.there was dancing. Exactly what you would expect from Brazil. But the

:14:04. > :14:10.Brazilian Prime Minister was booed. Neither that nor a bit of rain

:14:11. > :14:15.spoiled the party. Lee Pearson, the equestrian rider, led the British

:14:16. > :14:21.team out. Amy Purdie, the American athlete, dancing. The doors once

:14:22. > :14:25.again open on what I'm sure will be a brilliant celebrant is not scored

:14:26. > :14:30.in Real. They won a competition sees the cyclist, Dame Sarah Storey,

:14:31. > :14:35.attempting to become the most successful female Paralympian. She

:14:36. > :14:37.will be out on the track just after nine o'clock tonight.

:14:38. > :14:42.Andy Murray's been knocked out of the US Open.

:14:43. > :14:49.Partly because of some really annoying sound system that kept

:14:50. > :14:55.making a noise in one set when he was on crucial points? Yes, and

:14:56. > :15:00.crucial points. A bit of a boy was coming out of the malfunctioning

:15:01. > :15:03.audio system. Andy said it distracted him. He did not blame it

:15:04. > :15:11.for his defeat. We know he is easily distracted. In Rio he was distracted

:15:12. > :15:14.by an overhead camera. Like most major sports, you find you are most

:15:15. > :15:19.distracted when you are not playing well. After the match it was the

:15:20. > :15:24.least upset we have seen him after an exit from a Grand Slam. Beaten by

:15:25. > :15:30.Kei Nishikori in a five set match. It took almost four hours. Murray

:15:31. > :15:35.was not at his best. He lost the second set from a break up.

:15:36. > :15:41.Nishikori forced the match into a decider. He took the final set 7-5.

:15:42. > :15:46.He plays Stan Wawrinka next. For Murray, it is the Davis cup against

:15:47. > :15:50.Argentina next weekend in Glasgow. I have not let anybody down. I tried

:15:51. > :15:55.my best. I fought as hard as I could with what I had. I didn't let

:15:56. > :15:59.anybody down. Certainly not myself. I pushed myself as hard as I could

:16:00. > :16:06.and I'm very proud of what I have done. If someone had offered me the

:16:07. > :16:12.summer that I have had, before Wimbledon, I probably would have

:16:13. > :16:16.signed for that. Not the happiest day for Andy Murray. What a

:16:17. > :16:20.spectacular 12 months. The odd Britain win their first Davis cup

:16:21. > :16:24.from 80 years, success at Wimbledon and the Olympics. And England's

:16:25. > :16:36.cricketers trashed in the Twenty20 game. How come?

:16:37. > :16:49.And how were England thrashed it really is a different format.

:16:50. > :16:53.Pakistan cruised home in the end. It was a disappointing end to the

:16:54. > :16:58.series, but for England in general it was a positive summer.

:16:59. > :17:03.Behind all the hype and excitement associated with going to university,

:17:04. > :17:08.More than half of all female students report being sexually

:17:09. > :17:10.harassed, with alcohol-fuelled freshers' parties, initiation

:17:11. > :17:15.ceremonies and fancy dress pub crawls at the beginning of term,

:17:16. > :17:20.In a moment we'll be talking to a group of students

:17:21. > :17:22.about the scale of the problem and what universities

:17:23. > :17:25.First, this report from Catryn Nye, who's been speaking

:17:26. > :17:45.I've been to some clubs where they say you have to show me

:17:46. > :17:49.what you're wearing before you go in.

:17:50. > :17:52.Ie, open up your coat so I can see what

:17:53. > :17:58.You went to a club and that was the dress code?

:17:59. > :18:04.code for men, for the girls it was you have to dress sexy and once

:18:05. > :18:06.you're inside it was worse because you're already

:18:07. > :18:15.there as a sexualised object, therefore once you're in

:18:16. > :18:18.men are probably more likely to try and take advantage of you.

:18:19. > :18:20.I've been on a night out with the lads.

:18:21. > :18:27.It turns into a game, kind of, like, before

:18:28. > :18:30.you go to a club it's like, a strategy is devised for the night.

:18:31. > :18:33.Lads, what are we going to do tonight?

:18:34. > :18:37.How are we going to get the girls and who can get the most kind of

:18:38. > :18:54.I guess the most common type is when you're

:18:55. > :18:56.dancing and you get approached by a boy,

:18:57. > :18:58.usually from behind, which speaks

:18:59. > :19:01.for itself in the fact that I think the boys say

:19:02. > :19:06.and is meant to be, I think you're beautiful and want to speak to you.

:19:07. > :19:14.behind, it is quite an oppressive and weird situation anyway.

:19:15. > :19:17.One-time when I was at a phone party during

:19:18. > :19:19.freshers, quite early on, and was separated from my friends,

:19:20. > :19:25.we were in quite a big group, but because it's

:19:26. > :19:28.a phone party you can't see anything clearly and at one point

:19:29. > :19:33.I was all on my own and I was like, this is

:19:34. > :19:36.Your friend helped you out, or was there, I've had

:19:37. > :19:46.Yes, I'm kind of a big man that has to

:19:47. > :19:53.stand there and give eyes, leading on to fights

:19:54. > :19:55.because of the guys been really weird about my

:19:56. > :20:01.So this union guy went to a club, there was, I think it

:20:02. > :20:04.was a freshers night, so their tag line for the night

:20:05. > :20:07.I don't know if any of you guys remember that?

:20:08. > :20:12.past this point and we are liberated and we know it is tongue

:20:13. > :20:15.Rape happens at universities all the time

:20:16. > :20:17.and I'm so conscious of being considered

:20:18. > :20:22.the point where it's just not funny and boys need to realise it's not.

:20:23. > :20:25.The statistics show that only one in seven girls were surprised

:20:26. > :20:27.by being sexually harassed, is that what you

:20:28. > :20:33.I don't think I've ever been on a night out when not one

:20:34. > :20:36.person has had some form of sexual harassment.

:20:37. > :20:39.People almost want to hear these really traumatising

:20:40. > :20:41.stories of just like almost sexual assault,

:20:42. > :20:44.but it's not that, it's the

:20:45. > :20:46.kind of everyday grating feeling of knowing

:20:47. > :20:49.that it is a given that if you

:20:50. > :20:51.go you will get unwarranted attention or you will

:20:52. > :20:54.get someone coming up to

:20:55. > :20:59.you after you giving no signal that you're interested.

:21:00. > :21:01.On the night bus after a

:21:02. > :21:07.You always like end up just discussing who was the creepy

:21:08. > :21:11.In light of all of these cases that have come

:21:12. > :21:14.out recently with girls making accusations of rape and boys saying

:21:15. > :21:16.they've been given these signals, I think it is only beneficial

:21:17. > :21:19.to boys and girls to re-establish consensual,

:21:20. > :21:22.I don't want to say sex, but consensual anything.

:21:23. > :21:26.I think clubs have a responsibility to look out

:21:27. > :21:28.for girls and boys, because obviously it

:21:29. > :21:48.What do you do about the culture? Here are some students to try to

:21:49. > :21:52.answer that. Welcome, all of you. Step, you change your clothes and

:21:53. > :21:57.you think about carefully what you are going to wear when you go on a

:21:58. > :22:04.night out? Why? Definitely because it is so now. What would you not

:22:05. > :22:09.where and why? When I am getting dressed I put on an outfit and look

:22:10. > :22:14.in the mirror and think, is this shirt too low or is this skirt too

:22:15. > :22:19.short? It is not for me because I feel comfortable in it, but I do not

:22:20. > :22:23.feel comfortable with the fact that I will get groped or cat called in

:22:24. > :22:27.it, so I will change my clothes and I will not wear what I want to wear

:22:28. > :22:34.on a night out, especially in clubs in town. Am I right in saying that

:22:35. > :22:40.the sexual harassment you have experienced is in part responsible

:22:41. > :22:46.for sometimes you thinking I am not going out because it is too much?

:22:47. > :22:49.Sometimes because it has become an inevitability and it is no longer

:22:50. > :22:54.something we question or get angry about, it is something we expect,

:22:55. > :22:58.sometimes when you are getting ready or planning a night out evening, I

:22:59. > :23:02.cannot be bothered to deal with that and I am not in the mood to push

:23:03. > :23:09.someone of meat or say no several times. Yes, sometimes it does put me

:23:10. > :23:14.off going out and I know it puts off a lot of friends going out. You have

:23:15. > :23:19.experienced it on night out at uni and also on degree courses. Can you

:23:20. > :23:29.give us some examples? Courses that I put on where the male was to

:23:30. > :23:34.dominate the classroom and they want to have patronising shut up, little

:23:35. > :23:40.girl type rhetoric. It is not sexual harassment. It highlights the

:23:41. > :23:44.domineering culture that does not let women speak up. On some courses

:23:45. > :23:48.girls do not tend to participate that much academically because it is

:23:49. > :23:55.curtailed either fact that there is a lot of lad culture with sexual

:23:56. > :24:03.harassment at its gravity, but the pervading theme is misogyny. Give me

:24:04. > :24:13.some examples of the courses? Maths courses, engineering courses,

:24:14. > :24:17.particularly the dense courses. Their academic well-being is not as

:24:18. > :24:21.valued as much as the other students or their input is not as valued that

:24:22. > :24:32.much, so that feed into the rhetoric. These figures that so many

:24:33. > :24:38.e-mails students say they have experienced sexual harassment at

:24:39. > :24:42.university. Joss and Nick, it is not your responsibility, but why do so

:24:43. > :24:49.many young men think it is OK to pinch a woman's backside? We have

:24:50. > :24:52.seen in running our campaigns in Oxford a lot of men come to

:24:53. > :24:57.university and they have no concept of the idea of sexual consent and

:24:58. > :25:01.most of them have not heard the phrase sexual consent and have not

:25:02. > :25:06.thought about what it means to respect body autonomy. Most people

:25:07. > :25:10.do not necessarily go out and think I want to harm someone and make

:25:11. > :25:14.someone feel afraid, they just do not know it is not appropriate. It

:25:15. > :25:23.is not an appropriate way to treat anyone, woman or man. For people who

:25:24. > :25:27.go about doing it they think it is a laugh and the normalised, acceptable

:25:28. > :25:32.way of behaving. It is a game and they do not realise the impact it

:25:33. > :25:38.has on people's lives. Where do you think that normalisation attitude

:25:39. > :25:45.has come from? Lad culture. What does that mean? It is this huge kind

:25:46. > :25:55.of brother Shep. The closest thing we have is fraternities in America.

:25:56. > :26:00.It is nowhere near as bad in the UK. It is this brotherhood that they

:26:01. > :26:05.form and it is solidarity and companionship with each other, so it

:26:06. > :26:10.becomes a group activity to engage in sexual harassment. You said

:26:11. > :26:15.especially with thinking involved. As soon as alcohol is involved,

:26:16. > :26:21.whether the person who is being harassed is trying or the person

:26:22. > :26:26.harassing is drunk, it is perceived as OK because, oh, well, we are

:26:27. > :26:31.drunk, it is fine, the rules go out the window. You have to accept it

:26:32. > :26:36.because you chose to come out tonight. It is just not the case, it

:26:37. > :26:40.is ridiculous you cannot have a drink or you cannot comfortably get

:26:41. > :26:47.drunk in a safe environment any more, especially in clubs. It is

:26:48. > :26:53.almost a pack mentality as well. A lot of men know they would not

:26:54. > :26:56.behave like that on their own, or they would not behave like that when

:26:57. > :27:00.they were sober. They are assuming when they are in a group that it

:27:01. > :27:05.becomes acceptable because you are protected by the fact it is a group

:27:06. > :27:09.activity. It is obviously wrong when people sit down and think about it,

:27:10. > :27:17.but it is normalised in male culture. People often do not sit

:27:18. > :27:20.down and think about it. Matt on Facebook says Wenders chatting up a

:27:21. > :27:29.woman in a club become sexual harassment. Everybody wants to

:27:30. > :27:33.become a victim these days. No. Know what? It is not necessarily that

:27:34. > :27:38.everyone wants to become a victim and become sexually harassed. If

:27:39. > :27:44.that is the case, 15% of rapes are reported and 85% are not. One in

:27:45. > :27:50.five go to court. This is all within the university domain. What would

:27:51. > :27:54.you say to that Facebook from Matt? I would say it is about being

:27:55. > :28:00.respectful to someone. If you talk to someone and they say, I am not

:28:01. > :28:05.interested... The thing I have noticed is guys repeatedly go after

:28:06. > :28:10.girls and they do not realise it. A big issue that is part of this is we

:28:11. > :28:14.do not talk about this in sexual education at schools. That is how

:28:15. > :28:19.you tackle it, you go to the core of it. When I was having sexual

:28:20. > :28:24.education as Gould people would say things like girls should think about

:28:25. > :28:28.what they are wearing, which almost puts the blame on women themselves.

:28:29. > :28:34.There is no excuse for sexually assaulting someone. Somebody has

:28:35. > :28:38.tried to grope me in a club and I would turn around and say, I am not

:28:39. > :28:46.interested, and he would continue to talk to me. It was preaching on

:28:47. > :28:51.verbal abuse and I said, now I have a boy thing, I am not interested.

:28:52. > :28:57.That was not enough. He asks me to prove I had a boyfriend. He said, I

:28:58. > :29:01.do not believe you, as if that is a reason for it being OK. He asked me

:29:02. > :29:09.to point him out in the club, to prove thy I was under the row of a

:29:10. > :29:13.boyfriend. To directly answer Matt's question, it becomes sexual

:29:14. > :29:17.harassment when you start doing something in someone's physical

:29:18. > :29:21.space without their consent. Talking to somebody can become harassment if

:29:22. > :29:24.it is verbally abusive, but it is when you start to cross that

:29:25. > :29:30.boundary and most people know what the boundary is. You should know

:29:31. > :29:34.what the boundary is. Even without sex education lessons, they should

:29:35. > :29:39.know that. It is not OK to touch someone without their permission.

:29:40. > :29:45.What is it like to be sexually harassed by a woman? It is not as

:29:46. > :29:51.common practice, it is a different experience for men because it is not

:29:52. > :29:55.the same in terms of physical fear. I know a lot of women can feel

:29:56. > :30:00.physically intimidated and fearful for their safety when a man is

:30:01. > :30:06.looming over them in a club. One of the girls said they came from behind

:30:07. > :30:12.and that could be fear inducing. For a woman it is a different thing in

:30:13. > :30:17.that most men are taught not to physically react to women. If a man

:30:18. > :30:21.came up to you and did that, you would shove them away. A man would

:30:22. > :30:24.not feel comfortable doing that, so you are stuck in a situation where

:30:25. > :30:28.you do not know what to do because you cannot have a verbal

:30:29. > :30:34.communication. What sexual harassment did you experience? If

:30:35. > :30:36.anyone has got children who have not gone to school or very young

:30:37. > :30:46.children, turn the volume down now. It doesn't happen every time I go

:30:47. > :30:56.out. A woman, especially sometimes older women, make me feel because I

:30:57. > :30:59.am a younger guy, especially groups of women. It is coming up and

:31:00. > :31:04.touching you from behind. Running their hands down your body. It is

:31:05. > :31:10.minor stuff that can make you feel uncomfortable. What do you say?

:31:11. > :31:18.Somebody has come up to me and tried to dance with me. Almost going down

:31:19. > :31:23.to the floor. I have had to stand there really rigidly and shake my

:31:24. > :31:30.head and say, no, go away please. It is a fine line between... It will

:31:31. > :31:35.resonate with a lot of men. They don't know what to do in that

:31:36. > :31:39.situation. A quick final thought. It is a huge question. If you do not

:31:40. > :31:47.have an answer, that is fine. What do we do to get rid of low-level

:31:48. > :31:56.sexual harassment? Education. There needs to be a societal movement.

:31:57. > :31:59.From sexual education to freshers at University to the second years and

:32:00. > :32:04.be 30 years having the social responsibility to instil that kind

:32:05. > :32:10.of environment. I completely agree. It has to be in secondary schools

:32:11. > :32:14.where we have to talk about it. Universities have to be harsher on

:32:15. > :32:18.it. People think they can ruin other people's studies by doing this to

:32:19. > :32:22.people and they have no consequences. I would say just

:32:23. > :32:27.opening up the discussion for everyone to be able to participate

:32:28. > :32:33.in, regardless of your gender or your sexuality, that it is OK, it is

:32:34. > :32:36.something that is going to be taken seriously by people. You are not

:32:37. > :32:43.going to be seen as just complaining or making it up. It will be taking

:32:44. > :32:47.it as Makabu be taken seriously. Education from an early age. And

:32:48. > :32:52.universities taking it seriously as opposed to looking at the Rome

:32:53. > :32:56.public relations are keeping people out of prosecution.

:32:57. > :33:00.Thank you very much. We will talk to Universities UK after ten o'clock.

:33:01. > :33:04.They are the organisation responsible for universities across

:33:05. > :33:07.England and Wales. We will ask how seriously they are taking it.

:33:08. > :33:10.Still to come, a memorial to the 96 who died.

:33:11. > :33:11.We'll examine calls for a Hillsborough Law,

:33:12. > :33:14.which would make it illegal for police officers and other public

:33:15. > :33:15.servants to give misleading evidence.

:33:16. > :33:19.And we'll talk to family and friends of some of Britain's Paralympians,

:33:20. > :33:23.as the Rio Games get under way with a spectacular opening ceremony.

:33:24. > :33:35.Can Para GB do even better than in London 2012?

:33:36. > :33:43.A couple of e-mails about grammar schools, which we are going to talk

:33:44. > :33:51.about. Vic says, all of life is selective. University entries, job

:33:52. > :33:55.applications, even the Olympics. Labour, as usual, is promising a

:33:56. > :33:58.race to the bottom. The rain is horrified by the grammar school

:33:59. > :34:03.proposals which would merely select wealthy children and cause further

:34:04. > :34:08.social divide. Weigl says he is from a working class background who went

:34:09. > :34:13.to teach. -- Michael. He thinks grammar schools are an excellent

:34:14. > :34:15.idea for academically minded students as trade schools are for

:34:16. > :34:25.other students. Now the news. Theresa May has defended plans for a

:34:26. > :34:25.new expanded grammar schools in England.

:34:26. > :34:28.At a meeting of Conservative MPs, the Prime Minister said she wanted

:34:29. > :34:30.an "element of selection" in the education system -

:34:31. > :34:33.though new grammar schools would not be forced on areas that

:34:34. > :34:36.The comments were made after a document outlining proposals

:34:37. > :34:39.was caught by a photographer outside Downing Street on Tuesday.

:34:40. > :34:42.A review into England's flood defences will be published today.

:34:43. > :34:44.It was commissioned by the government after record

:34:45. > :34:47.rainfall last winter caused flooding, resulting in more

:34:48. > :34:55.than ?1 billion worth of insurance claims.

:34:56. > :34:57.We will have more in the next few minutes.

:34:58. > :35:00.Two men have been arrested in London on suspicion

:35:01. > :35:04.The men, aged 19 and 20, were arrested at an address

:35:05. > :35:06.Officers are searching a number of addresses

:35:07. > :35:19.and vehicles in the west, south east London and Thames Valley areas.

:35:20. > :35:21.A leading member of a group representing hundreds of people

:35:22. > :35:23.who suffered abuse in children's homes run by Lambeth Council

:35:24. > :35:26.in south London, says he's lost faith in the independent inquiry

:35:27. > :35:30.Raymond Stevenson represents those who attended the Shirley Oaks home

:35:31. > :35:34.He says he no longer has confidence that the inquiry

:35:35. > :35:37.The Home Secretary has rejected a claim by the former chair

:35:38. > :35:39.of the inquiry that she'd been prevented from choosing

:35:40. > :35:43.The number of children seeking counselling

:35:44. > :35:46.because they are considering suicide has more than doubled in five years,

:35:47. > :35:53.Turbulent home lives, pressure at school and mental health

:35:54. > :35:56.conditions were all major triggers for suicidal thoughts,

:35:57. > :36:03.with children as young as 10 contacting the charity for help.

:36:04. > :36:06.The tech giant Apple unveiled its latest version of the iPhone

:36:07. > :36:09.The new device has attracted controversy for not having

:36:10. > :36:15.The launch of the iPhone 7, which is also water-resistant

:36:16. > :36:18.and has a two-lens camera, comes after a year of falling iPhone

:36:19. > :36:27.sales and a decline in Apple's share of the phone market.

:36:28. > :36:35.More from me at ten. Now the latest sport. Good morning.

:36:36. > :36:40.The start of the Paralympics is upon us. Lee Pearson, the ten time

:36:41. > :36:43.Olympic champion from equestrianism, was Great Britain's flag bearer.

:36:44. > :36:49.There was blowing towards the Brazilian Prime Minister. A packed

:36:50. > :36:53.Maracana Stadium saw another entertaining start. Lott is expected

:36:54. > :36:57.in the next ten days, including Sarah Storey today. Andy Murray says

:36:58. > :37:02.it will be hard for him to be fully fit and ready for next week's Davis

:37:03. > :37:07.Cup tie against Argentina. He was not dead in the US open quarterfinal

:37:08. > :37:12.by Japan's Kei Nishikori in five sets. -- knocked out. England's

:37:13. > :37:17.cricketers suffered one of the biggest ever defeats in Twenty20

:37:18. > :37:24.cricket last night, Pakistan beating them by nine wickets at Old Trafford

:37:25. > :37:30.is with more than five of their overs remaining. Liberty Media has

:37:31. > :37:35.bought the rights to Formula one. Bernie Ecclestone will stay as chief

:37:36. > :37:38.executive. That is all the sport for now. I am back after ten.

:37:39. > :37:40.Families of some of the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy

:37:41. > :37:43.are calling for a new law which would make it illegal

:37:44. > :37:45.for police officers and others in public service to give misleading

:37:46. > :37:49.They say the so-called Hillsborough Law, which includes

:37:50. > :37:53.penalties and fines, would address a "culture of denial"

:37:54. > :37:59.She lost her 18-year-old son, James, in the disaster and is chairman

:38:00. > :38:02.of the Hillsborough Family Support Group.

:38:03. > :38:04.And Elkan Abrahamson, a lawyer who represented 20

:38:05. > :38:11.of the families at the new inquests and helped draft this bill.

:38:12. > :38:21.Welcome to both of you. Margaret, tell me why this is so important to

:38:22. > :38:25.you and the other families? It is important because when you look back

:38:26. > :38:28.over the past 27 years of what the families have gone through, we have

:38:29. > :38:38.got to make sure this can never happen again. I think anybody of any

:38:39. > :38:48.institution, especially of public office, who have protection, should

:38:49. > :38:51.be allowed to... It is important that Hillsborough can never happen

:38:52. > :38:55.again. And that they hand all documentation, everything,

:38:56. > :39:01.statements, correspondence, it should be handed over immediately to

:39:02. > :39:09.the victims of any kind of disaster for the good of the public. Things

:39:10. > :39:15.have got to change. We have got this it James Jones, who has been

:39:16. > :39:18.commissioned by the previous Home Secretary, to look into what lessons

:39:19. > :39:26.can be learned. -- Bishop James Jones. So many lessons have got to

:39:27. > :39:32.be learned. I think we have got to go deeper than what the families

:39:33. > :39:37.agreed to. We have to go deeper than that. It is also about funding. You

:39:38. > :39:44.have to bring funding into it. It has got to be a level playing field

:39:45. > :39:49.on every level. Families did not have funding. They had to raise

:39:50. > :40:02.funds. It has got to be a lot deeper. A draft law that would make

:40:03. > :40:05.it illegal for people to lie. All sorts of things are illegal, from

:40:06. > :40:09.the most serious crimes to Leicester on the spectrum. It does not stop

:40:10. > :40:16.people from committing them. Why would this make a difference? It is

:40:17. > :40:21.not just about lying, it is about not fully disclosing. It is also

:40:22. > :40:24.intended not to put sanctions on people, but to help people who want

:40:25. > :40:29.to tell the truth. If we take the argument away from Hillsborough and

:40:30. > :40:32.think about an operating theatre where something has gone badly wrong

:40:33. > :40:36.and there is pressure on the junior staff in the theatre to support the

:40:37. > :40:39.consultant, they can rely on this law and say, I have to tell the

:40:40. > :40:45.truth because if I don't I will be committing a criminal offence. That

:40:46. > :40:50.really does make sense. We have heard Andy Burnham talking about a

:40:51. > :40:56.Hillsborough law. This is different, isn't it? Yes, Andy put forward a

:40:57. > :41:00.Hillsborough law in the last session of Parliament. Parliament rose

:41:01. > :41:03.before anything could be done. The point he wanted to block -- to

:41:04. > :41:09.promote was parity funding. This address is another problem.

:41:10. > :41:12.Margaret, another thought from you. Had this law been in place when

:41:13. > :41:18.Hillsborough happened, I just wonder what difference it would have made

:41:19. > :41:22.to you and the other families? It would have made a big difference.

:41:23. > :41:26.What was just said, I totally agree with. It would've made a big

:41:27. > :41:33.difference. Families would had more information. We learned an awful

:41:34. > :41:36.lot. It is not just about Hillsborough. This is hopefully to

:41:37. > :41:42.try to change things for the better, for the good of the ordinary people.

:41:43. > :41:46.We saw things in the court, we saw things for the very first time, and

:41:47. > :41:51.we thought we knew everything. That was all there for 20 odd years. That

:41:52. > :41:56.is a disgrace. It has got to change. We should never have had to sit in

:41:57. > :42:00.another inquest to find that this information that was already there

:42:01. > :42:08.are 27 years ago. It is an absolute disgrace. Can you describe for our

:42:09. > :42:14.audience the toll on you of being at those inquests over two years each

:42:15. > :42:18.day? It is not just the toll on me, it was the toll on all of the

:42:19. > :42:23.families. Every one of them. They have had 27 years of torture. 27

:42:24. > :42:28.years knowing there was a lot of evidence that was not handed over.

:42:29. > :42:31.And to me, also the toll on the ordinary people to fund raise for

:42:32. > :42:37.the families. Without their help we could not have got where they are --

:42:38. > :42:41.we are. A lot of things have got to be changed for the good of the

:42:42. > :42:47.ordinary people. Thank you very much for your time. Margaret Aspinall,

:42:48. > :42:48.who lost her son, James, at Hillsborough, he was 18. And Elton

:42:49. > :42:50.Abrahamson. Within the last few minutes

:42:51. > :42:52.the official report into England's flood defences has been published

:42:53. > :42:54.following severe The government's promised to take

:43:22. > :43:25.barrier and whether it will work? Yes, that is the key question. That

:43:26. > :43:29.is what everybody is wondering. This is what we are talking about. The

:43:30. > :43:34.sort of thing the government is announcing more of. Mobile steel

:43:35. > :43:39.barriers is at locations like this airfield in Oxfordshire but can be

:43:40. > :43:42.taken around the country. Miles and miles of this barrier has been

:43:43. > :43:48.announced as part of this review into last winter's flooding. This is

:43:49. > :43:50.the sort of kit that will be put out around the country, ready to react

:43:51. > :43:56.if we do see those levels of rainfall again, that kind of

:43:57. > :44:00.flooding risk. You can see that the team here can very quickly assemble

:44:01. > :44:04.and disassembled this sort of barrier to provide protection to

:44:05. > :44:08.communities awaiting more prominent flood defences. That is what the

:44:09. > :44:12.government is saying. They had committed billions of pounds two

:44:13. > :44:18.extra flood protection. But in the meantime, this temporary defence

:44:19. > :44:22.will be ready if we do see a repeat of the flooding of last winter. What

:44:23. > :44:26.they also say is that one key finding from last winter's floods

:44:27. > :44:32.was that the key bits of infrastructure work at too great a

:44:33. > :44:35.risk from floods. Power stations, electricity substations, the water,

:44:36. > :44:39.sewage supplies and key railway lines were all The headlines: in

:44:40. > :44:43.different parts of the country, especially in the north of England.

:44:44. > :44:46.The government says it will work with the utility companies to

:44:47. > :44:52.provide protection for those key bits of infrastructure. They are

:44:53. > :44:55.also today announcing better forecasting of what the rainfall

:44:56. > :44:59.will be like in future. They think they can get a more precise idea of

:45:00. > :45:03.where the heavy rain will be. Where the flood risk is. And where they

:45:04. > :45:07.can deploy protection like this to try to stop community is getting

:45:08. > :45:11.flooded. They are also offering help those who were hit by the floods.

:45:12. > :45:24.Still people having to clear up the mess. Thank you for your messages on

:45:25. > :45:28.sexual harassment of university students, predominately women, but

:45:29. > :45:32.some men as well. David said, I have run large clubs for many years and

:45:33. > :45:36.if any woman complained to security about harassment, action would be

:45:37. > :45:42.taken. Someone says heavy drinking

:45:43. > :45:50.epitomises our universities today. A 21-year-old in London said, I have

:45:51. > :45:55.never expected this, harassment between other students, instead it

:45:56. > :46:01.is older men lurking around our buyers and making us feel uneasy.

:46:02. > :46:08.Another one said clubs will change their policies if male and female

:46:09. > :46:12.members decline. Another one says there is ignorance about where

:46:13. > :46:16.consent level ends. These are degree level students, but they feel they

:46:17. > :46:20.can get away with it because it is so normalised.

:46:24. > :46:25.today for not wearing the absolutely correct uniform?

:46:26. > :46:28.Since Tuesday, he's sent 70 away. We'll talk to him to live and ask

:46:29. > :46:30.if he's the strictest head in England?

:46:31. > :46:33.Plus, we'll hear from one of the pupils he's turned away.

:46:34. > :46:35.The Paralympics kicked off in Rio last night with a spectacular

:46:49. > :46:52.More than 260 British athletes will take part in 19 sports

:46:59. > :47:03.build-up that's been marred by poor ticket sales and funding problems -

:47:09. > :47:11.Let's talk now to friends and family of Paralympic medal hopefuls

:47:12. > :47:17.We've got Ruth Taylor, friend of cyclist Dame Sarah Storey.

:47:18. > :47:20.Nyree Kindred, wife of swimmer Sascha Kindred.

:47:21. > :47:24.Annie Giglia, sister of cyclist Megan Giglia.

:47:25. > :47:32.And Charles Johnston from Sport England.

:47:33. > :47:42.Welcome, all of you. Ruth, can I start with you? Dame Sarah could

:47:43. > :47:46.become Britain's most decorated Paralympian if she wins gold tonight

:47:47. > :47:53.overtaking Tanni Grey-Thompson. That would be amazing. It would be

:47:54. > :47:59.amazing. I am hopeful it is going to happen. Tell us how you know Sarah

:48:00. > :48:05.and what she is like. I know Sarah because I ride on her cycling team.

:48:06. > :48:10.She has got two cycling teams, a professional cycling team and the

:48:11. > :48:16.team I am on, which is a scholarship programme. I met her through cycling

:48:17. > :48:20.and she is actually really normal. She is this incredible, amazing

:48:21. > :48:25.athlete, but when you get to know her she is really lovely. She is

:48:26. > :48:31.meant mental to you. Yes, she looks after us and I do not know how she

:48:32. > :48:34.has enough hours in the day. She does her own training, she looks

:48:35. > :48:39.after the team and she has got a daughter, I do not know how she does

:48:40. > :48:43.it. Annie, your sister had a stroke less than three years ago. I think

:48:44. > :48:52.you and the family knew something was wrong. Tell us about what

:48:53. > :48:57.happened. She came home to stay with us after she split up with a

:48:58. > :49:06.girlfriend. The doctors said she might have epilepsy. She was acting

:49:07. > :49:10.erratic, but she still seem to sell, but she was on edge all the time and

:49:11. > :49:15.she kept changing her mind. That was like anyway, but it was a bit more.

:49:16. > :49:19.Then she moved up to Warwickshire and we got a phone call saying she

:49:20. > :49:24.had fainted and was in hospital and she had had a brain aneurysm. So

:49:25. > :49:30.that is what it was. But it was really serious. Yes, and it was hard

:49:31. > :49:35.for us because we were in Folkestone and my mum had to keep travelling up

:49:36. > :49:39.to see her in hospital and we were waiting to hear the news all the

:49:40. > :49:44.time. She had to have an operation, but it went wrong. They could not do

:49:45. > :49:49.what it was they needed to do, so they had to wake her up to get

:49:50. > :49:53.permission to do another one and it was a 50-50 operation and they run

:49:54. > :50:01.us up and they said at midnight there were drinkers up to tell us if

:50:02. > :50:05.it had gone well. I was at my friend's trying not to think about

:50:06. > :50:09.it, waiting for the phone call. I kept looking at the clock and the

:50:10. > :50:15.room went a bit quiet to me and that was all I could see and I thought in

:50:16. > :50:22.ten minutes everyone's world was going to explode. I am not as

:50:23. > :50:28.positive as Megan. She is a very positive person? A very positive

:50:29. > :50:34.person. That is why she is here now. I would have curled up in a ball and

:50:35. > :50:39.cried and thought, this is not fair. She is the sort of person who goes,

:50:40. > :50:46.that is life, I'm getting on with it now. Why she always into cycling?

:50:47. > :50:53.She always cycled, she has always been sporty. That is her life. But

:50:54. > :50:58.from what I know she was mainly into contacts was like rugby and hockey.

:50:59. > :51:03.She was a sports coach. That is what upset me the most. These things

:51:04. > :51:08.happen to the people where it is going to affect the one thing that

:51:09. > :51:14.keeps them going in life. But she is in the Paralympics, so she kept

:51:15. > :51:21.going. She found away. Welcome to the programme, you are a former

:51:22. > :51:24.Paralympic swimmer and you have 110 medals M yes, ten medals over the

:51:25. > :51:30.four Paralympic games I competed that. You and your husband both have

:51:31. > :51:38.cerebral Wolsey, Sasha stars competing tomorrow, how do you

:51:39. > :51:41.expect him to do? I am optimistic, he has had great training sessions

:51:42. > :51:46.in the last few years and he has gone in there with a positive

:51:47. > :51:51.attitude to perform as fast as he can. You cannot control what the

:51:52. > :51:55.rest of the world is going to do, so he is going to focus on doing his

:51:56. > :52:02.best because he has done everything he possibly can. I will be proud of

:52:03. > :52:09.him. Mentally, how prepared is he? He is mentally prepared. This is his

:52:10. > :52:13.sixth Paralympics. He has left me and his daughter at home. But he is

:52:14. > :52:20.very upbeat and is enjoying himself and is ready to race tomorrow.

:52:21. > :52:25.Finally it has started, it was an amazing opening ceremony. Does that

:52:26. > :52:32.mean we can forget the poor ticket sales, the lack of funding and the

:52:33. > :52:37.build-up and the rest of it? We have worked really hard since London 2012

:52:38. > :52:41.to make sure they have had all the support and facilities they need and

:52:42. > :52:46.all the technology. Can you give as examples of what you have spent

:52:47. > :52:51.money on to prepare? At the last won the wheelchair rugby guys caught the

:52:52. > :52:55.imagination and we have got a system where we have GPS trackers on their

:52:56. > :53:02.wheelchairs, so the analysis as to how much energy they use and where

:53:03. > :53:09.they go and that's the thing is used for our wheelchair bowling teams.

:53:10. > :53:13.The surface is a horrible green colour, which is different to what

:53:14. > :53:23.they normally train on. What colour do they normally train on?

:53:24. > :53:30.Everything from wood to a red mat, so we bought a replica Rio surfers.

:53:31. > :53:34.That is what the training teams do, they make sure they are as well

:53:35. > :53:39.prepared as they can be, so when they walk into the environment in

:53:40. > :53:44.Rio, they are as well prepared as they can be. They have green in Rio

:53:45. > :53:50.and we practice on red, but it is much quicker on green. Very much so.

:53:51. > :53:56.We bought particular table tennis bats and balls and they have used

:53:57. > :54:00.over 12,000 balls in training to get ready for Rio. When they go there

:54:01. > :54:05.they can concentrate on their game and they can get straight in to

:54:06. > :54:10.perform they can do. We have got world-class facilities and

:54:11. > :54:14.world-class support here from centres in Manchester where Megan

:54:15. > :54:18.trains, right down to Bath. There is a huge amount of expertise that is

:54:19. > :54:22.supporting them and they are as well prepared as they can be and I am

:54:23. > :54:29.sure they will be very successful. Will they be 120 medals from four

:54:30. > :54:33.years ago? I lost a lot of money betting on the Olympics, so I would

:54:34. > :54:37.not buy to Hazzard. They are as well prepared as they can be and the

:54:38. > :54:42.messages we are getting back is they are raring to go. If Sarah launches

:54:43. > :54:48.us with a gold medal, that will inspire a lot of people to perform.

:54:49. > :54:52.That is true, Ruth, the first time a British Paralympian wins a gold

:54:53. > :54:59.medal, it sets the tone for the others. Yes, it will get everybody

:55:00. > :55:03.off to an amazing start and there will be a lot of positive energy and

:55:04. > :55:10.it will be a good way to kick the games. It really would, talk about

:55:11. > :55:14.inspiring. Is that true from your own experience and your husband's?

:55:15. > :55:20.Your team-mates are winning things and you think, I need to match this.

:55:21. > :55:24.Definitely, seeing your team-mates winning the medals gives you a bus

:55:25. > :55:29.to go out there to try and equal them and perform your best and walk

:55:30. > :55:33.away with a medal yourself. In London I felt so immensely ready to

:55:34. > :55:38.get on that block and race and seeing other people when I was one

:55:39. > :55:42.of the first swimmer end, but to see Johnny Fox win a gold medal on day

:55:43. > :55:47.one, it was something you wanted to do yourself. Thank you for telling

:55:48. > :55:59.us about your husbands, mentors, etc. Thank you for coming on the

:56:00. > :56:06.programme. Do you support the Kent head who has turned away around 70

:56:07. > :56:10.pupils so far this week? The kids went back on Tuesday. He has sent 70

:56:11. > :56:18.away for breaking school uniform rules. We will be talking to Matthew

:56:19. > :56:24.Tait after ten. We are going to talk to one of the girls he has turned

:56:25. > :56:28.away and her dad. Sharon says, get your kids back into school with the

:56:29. > :56:36.correct uniform. Every pupil will look the same. Patrick tweeted,

:56:37. > :56:39.uniforms are not optional. Parents agree to their children wearing them

:56:40. > :56:45.when they accept the offer of education. Peter says, what sort of

:56:46. > :56:51.a message is this teacher giving a child? Would he go to a job in the

:56:52. > :56:56.real world and try to change what was required in the workplace? He

:56:57. > :57:00.would get sacked. People complain about a lack of respect and no

:57:01. > :57:05.boundaries being set. It has to start somewhere, so why do we not

:57:06. > :57:12.support this headteacher? Another one, the headteacher is right about

:57:13. > :57:17.wearing the correct uniform. You may change your mind possibly when you

:57:18. > :57:26.hear the dad and the little girl after the break. Now, the weather.

:57:27. > :57:35.For some of us it has been a beautiful started the day, for

:57:36. > :57:41.others so good. This picture was taken in Glasgow. You can see the

:57:42. > :57:51.rain we have had, streaming in from the West, moving eastwards. It will

:57:52. > :57:55.eventually clear. It is courtesy of this weather front, which is a cold

:57:56. > :58:00.front, so behind it are fresher conditions coming our way. Blustery

:58:01. > :58:07.showers will follow on behind the rain. Some of the rain will be heavy

:58:08. > :58:15.in North East Scotland. Behind it, it is clearing. The blustery showers

:58:16. > :58:19.will continue across Scotland through the afternoon. It is

:58:20. > :58:26.particularly windy in the north and west. For Northern Ireland after a

:58:27. > :58:30.wet start it dries up with some brightness. For Wales and south-west

:58:31. > :58:35.England we are looking at bright or sunny spells with temperatures up to

:58:36. > :58:40.19. Drifting across southern counties and into the Midlands, East

:58:41. > :58:51.Anglia and the south-eastern corner is largely dry. Places in East

:58:52. > :58:56.Anglia could hit 26 Celsius today. There will be bright spells here,

:58:57. > :59:00.with the odd shower. Through the evening and overnight there will be

:59:01. > :59:04.clear skies, but we have got a plethora of showers coming in from

:59:05. > :59:11.the West. It will be quite a breezy night. As a result, it will not be a

:59:12. > :59:17.cold night. We are looking at temperatures of 12 in the north to

:59:18. > :59:22.about 15 in the south. I'll start to the day tomorrow. The showers

:59:23. > :59:29.continued to drift from west to east. But it will be breezy. This

:59:30. > :59:32.next area of low pressure sweeps in across Northern Ireland and western

:59:33. > :59:38.Scotland and it will bring heavy rain and stronger winds. Inland it

:59:39. > :59:45.could be pretty gusty. We are looking at possibly severe gales.

:59:46. > :59:52.Temperatures tomorrow, 17 in Glasgow to highs of 23 in Norwich. A level

:59:53. > :59:55.of uncertainty as to the timing and position of this rain on Saturday.

:59:56. > :00:02.It is crossing from the West into the south-east. The position of it

:00:03. > :00:08.has changed in the last few days and it could change again. Do not take

:00:09. > :00:09.this as your final look at the forecast. Behind it there are

:00:10. > :00:12.brighter skies. Hello, it's 10 o'clock on Tuesday,

:00:13. > :00:15.I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme if you've

:00:16. > :00:19.just joined us. Do you back the expansion

:00:20. > :00:21.of grammar schools? The Prime Minister Theresa May wants

:00:22. > :00:24.to allow more in England - Or is it - as Labour say

:00:25. > :00:27.- social segregation? Also on the programme,

:00:28. > :00:29.sexual harassment at universities is "out of control",

:00:30. > :00:31.with more than half of female students saying

:00:32. > :00:46.they've experienced it. I would look in Lima ranting, is

:00:47. > :00:49.this top two low, or this skirt too short? Not for me. But I would be

:00:50. > :00:53.concerned I would get groped called. And is this the toughest

:00:54. > :00:55.headteacher in Britain? Over 70 pupils have been turned away

:00:56. > :00:58.from school for not We'll talk to the defiant head

:00:59. > :01:01.teacher who's not backing Here's Anita in the BBC Newsroom

:01:02. > :01:17.with a summary of today's news. Theresa May has defended

:01:18. > :01:20.Government proposals to open new grammar schools in England

:01:21. > :01:22.or expand existing ones. At a meeting of Conservative MPs

:01:23. > :01:25.last night, the Prime Minister said she wanted an "element of selection"

:01:26. > :01:28.in the education system but that new grammar schools would not be

:01:29. > :01:44.forced on areas that Let's talk to Norman Smith in

:01:45. > :01:47.Downing Street. Good morning. Theresa May says Grammar schools

:01:48. > :01:54.help social mobility and increase choice. Critics question those

:01:55. > :01:59.premises. The subject is hugely controversial? It is very emotive,

:02:00. > :02:05.very divisive and highly politically charged. But Mrs May's view is we

:02:06. > :02:07.already have a diverse school system, private schools, academies,

:02:08. > :02:13.free schools, why not Grammar schools? She also believes it will

:02:14. > :02:18.be popular and, above all, that it will boost the prospects of poorer

:02:19. > :02:23.children. And last night she told her MPs that we are all guilty of

:02:24. > :02:28.hypocrisy when it comes to schools because, in terms of selection, she

:02:29. > :02:32.argues we already have selection. House price selection, in that

:02:33. > :02:37.better off parents can buy their way into the catchment of successful

:02:38. > :02:43.state schools. But be in no doubt, this is very risky. All of the

:02:44. > :02:48.indications are the move will face significant opposition, not just

:02:49. > :02:53.from Labour and the SNP, but from the educational establishment, some

:02:54. > :02:56.factions within her own party. And there is doubt over whether she can

:02:57. > :03:00.get this through Parliament over likely opposition in the House of

:03:01. > :03:06.Lords. It is a very big move by Theresa May. I understand that

:03:07. > :03:13.Michael Fallon has been talking about this this morning? Well, Mr

:03:14. > :03:18.Fallon has Grammar schools in his own constituency and he believes

:03:19. > :03:24.that by creating more of them, that will broaden choice for parents. The

:03:25. > :03:29.aim is very clear. To have more choice for parents in every part of

:03:30. > :03:33.the country. We are fortunate in Kent that we have a grammar school

:03:34. > :03:36.system. They have it in Buckinghamshire as well. Parents

:03:37. > :03:39.have a choice. I want parents everywhere to have the same kind of

:03:40. > :03:45.choice between a range of different schools. The risk also for Theresa

:03:46. > :03:52.May is that she has made much of her desire to help those who cannot get

:03:53. > :03:56.on and she believes grammar schools will do that. They will encourage

:03:57. > :04:01.social mobility. The danger is that critics will paint her as returning

:04:02. > :04:08.to the 50s and 60s. In other words, it looks exactly the opposite. It

:04:09. > :04:09.looks as if Theresa May is a social conservative and seeking to go back

:04:10. > :04:13.to a previous era. Thank you. Two men have been arrested

:04:14. > :04:15.in London on suspicion The men, aged 19 and 20,

:04:20. > :04:23.of addresses and vehicles in the west, south east London

:04:24. > :04:26.and Thames Valley areas. Millions of pounds are to be spent

:04:27. > :04:32.on new flood defences in England. The government has made

:04:33. > :04:34.the announcement after reviewing England's defences in the wake

:04:35. > :04:36.of flooding which forced thousands of people out of their

:04:37. > :04:38.homes over Christmas. Its long-awaited report promises

:04:39. > :04:41.that more than 12 million pounds will be spent on new barriers

:04:42. > :04:47.and high-volume pumps. The number of workers on zero hours

:04:48. > :04:51.contracts has increased by a fifth over the past year,

:04:52. > :04:53.according to official figures that The controversial contracts mean

:04:54. > :04:57.workers do not know how many hours they will work from one week

:04:58. > :05:00.to the next. Research by a think tank,

:06:04. > :06:09.Thank you for tuning in. I have got some comments about sexual

:06:10. > :06:12.harassment. This text does not leave his name. To say that lads do not

:06:13. > :06:17.know when they're harassing is rubbish. We all know difference

:06:18. > :06:20.between right and wrong. Another, nobody is complaining that a boy

:06:21. > :06:25.cannot approach a girl, it is when the boy does not understand no are

:06:26. > :06:28.not interested yet continues to persist. Saying you have a boyfriend

:06:29. > :06:33.is usually the best way to stop being harassed. They respect the man

:06:34. > :06:34.they cannot see more than the woman they can see. Now the sport with

:06:44. > :06:48.in Rio as the Paralympic Games were launched last night. We should

:06:49. > :06:53.expect a raft of success stories. 121 medals will be the target for

:06:54. > :06:57.Great Britain. It was a vibrant and colourful scene at the Maracana

:06:58. > :07:00.Stadium. The music and dancing highlighting the party atmosphere we

:07:01. > :07:04.should be expecting to see over the next ten days. No party in Brazil

:07:27. > :07:30.celebration of sport. Andy Murray performed so spectacularly in Rio,

:07:31. > :07:33.but after his quarterfinal defeat at the US Open, he was in a more

:07:34. > :07:38.positive frame of mind than we are used to. The Wimbledon and Olympic

:07:39. > :07:41.champion was beaten by Kei Nishikori in five sets. But he was not at his

:07:42. > :07:46.best after losing the second set from a break-up. Nishikori forced

:07:47. > :07:52.the match into a decider before wrapping up the final set 7-5. He

:07:53. > :07:59.plays Stan Wawrinka. For Murray, it is the Davis cup for GB against

:08:00. > :08:03.Argentina. I have not let anybody down. I tried my best. I fought as

:08:04. > :08:08.hard as I could with what I had. I didn't let anyone down. Certainly

:08:09. > :08:14.not myself. I pushed myself as hard as I could over the last few months.

:08:15. > :08:19.I am very proud of what I have done. If someone had offered me the summer

:08:20. > :08:26.that I have had befallen them, I probably would have signed for that.

:08:27. > :08:31.England's cricketers lost heavily in the one-off Twenty20 match against

:08:32. > :08:37.Pakistan. Eoin Morgan's side struggled to 135 from their 20

:08:38. > :08:40.overs. Pakistan cruised home in the end. They reached their target with

:08:41. > :08:45.nine wickets and more than five overs to spare. A disappointing end

:08:46. > :08:51.to the International summer for England. Next up is the winter tour

:09:30. > :09:37.the sport for now. I am back with more later.

:09:38. > :09:41.Thank you. Around 70 pupils have been sent home from a school in Kent

:09:42. > :09:47.because they were not wearing the correct uniform. It has led to angry

:09:48. > :09:52.scenes. The police were called after some parents criticised the school's

:09:53. > :09:57.new head for being overzealous. This girl's father said it would be the

:09:58. > :11:13.last day she would attend the school.

:11:14. > :11:17.That was parent Dave Hopper you saw in the video.

:11:18. > :11:20.He joins me now with his daughter Kim who was refused entry twice

:11:21. > :11:23.to school because the head teacher wasn't happy with her uniform.

:11:24. > :11:37.Hello both of you. Hi, Kim. How are you? Good, thank you. Why are you

:11:38. > :11:42.not in school today? Because of my shoes. I am not allowed in because

:11:43. > :11:49.they are swayed. Can I see them? Here. We can see them. They are

:11:50. > :11:55.really smart but they are not leather. Dave, the headteacher,

:11:56. > :12:01.Mathew Tait, says you have to buy some leather ones. Yes. The problem

:12:02. > :12:07.is unfortunately the school policy has left so much in the way of

:12:08. > :12:16.interpretation and ambiguity in their policy. We have ended up with

:12:17. > :12:22.a situation where we have gone out and bought a pair of shoes that are

:12:23. > :12:27.fit for purpose. They are smart. They will not affect her education

:12:28. > :12:32.in any way, shape or form. Can I just say that I wholly support a

:12:33. > :12:36.uniform policy. But I think if you're going to make exceptions for

:12:37. > :12:41.one, if you are going to bend the rules here and there, you have to

:12:42. > :12:46.make it for all our might not at all. Kim, did you know it was good

:12:47. > :12:50.to be really strict when you went back this term? We got told by Mr

:12:51. > :12:57.Summers before he left and before we left, that it was going to be strict

:12:58. > :13:03.on uniform. But we didn't realise how strict he was going to be. Dave,

:13:04. > :13:11.is this really worth Kim missing school over? I would have to bounce

:13:12. > :13:16.the question back, to be fair. It could be argued both ways. If the

:13:17. > :13:21.policy was completely fair and completely clear, unbiased towards

:13:22. > :13:29.some people and not others, then, no. It would not be worth 100%. The

:13:30. > :13:32.thing is, you care mostly about your own daughter, irrespective of what

:13:33. > :13:36.you say is happening with other pupils. I will put that to the

:13:37. > :13:40.headteacher when we talk to him. He has clearly said, you need to get

:13:41. > :13:48.some leather shoes, yes, please. He is the head. You can say that. No,

:13:49. > :13:53.of course. I support a uniform policy but I will support a uniform

:13:54. > :13:58.policy that everybody adheres to. And not one that everybody gets an

:13:59. > :14:02.interpretation of and he gets to decide when and where he wants to

:14:03. > :14:08.enforce it. A girl that was refused on the Tuesday went in on the next

:14:09. > :14:17.day wearing exactly the same and she was allowed in. By the head? She was

:14:18. > :14:23.allowed in by the head on the next day, or was it someone else? She was

:14:24. > :14:27.indeed, yes. And there have been several exceptions made now, where

:14:28. > :14:32.the parents have been allowed to let their parents -- children in with

:14:33. > :14:40.trainers and other things. As much as I say I supported, it is the way

:14:41. > :14:43.they have gone about it for me. A lot of people watching you are

:14:44. > :14:54.sending messages saying, what sort of message are you giving to Kim?

:14:55. > :14:58.That she is breaking rules. I am not breaking any rules. I have, caught

:14:59. > :15:03.against a lot of criticism for this. I am steadfast that if you make an

:15:04. > :15:06.exception for one, you make an exception for all. If Michael Brad

:15:07. > :15:10.turned up in a pair of trainers, not dressed appropriately, and not

:15:11. > :15:14.looking fit for purpose, I would understand. But she has come to

:15:15. > :15:22.school wearing a pair of shoes that are 100% respectable. She deserves

:15:23. > :15:24.an education. You obviously went this morning. Digi Klok are many

:15:25. > :15:43.other people were turned away today? You see how many people were turned

:15:44. > :15:52.away today? No. One message says, it is ridiculous to send people home

:15:53. > :15:56.for wrong bits of uniform. School is about education, not clothing. Sarah

:15:57. > :16:07.says if parents do not send the kids to school wearing the wrong uniform,

:16:08. > :16:13.fine them for nonattenders. These children are students, education is

:16:14. > :16:23.more important. There is some support their beer. Kim, would you

:16:24. > :16:29.not rather be at? I would, but I keep getting sent home. Do you not

:16:30. > :16:35.think your dad should just get you some leather shoes? I am not too

:16:36. > :16:40.sure really because my shoes right now are sensible and smart. What is

:16:41. > :16:47.the point of buying another peer? Only because the headteacher has

:16:48. > :16:51.asked you to. Again, it is a conversation I have tried to keep

:16:52. > :16:56.open, I have left every line of communication open and the school

:16:57. > :17:02.have failed to contact me to resolve it. Other parents have been offered

:17:03. > :17:07.free school uniform. We have not had that extended to us. I would love

:17:08. > :17:17.for it to be put to him as to why. I think genuinely we have become the

:17:18. > :17:21.hated couple out of everyone. I am interested to know how this will be

:17:22. > :17:26.resolved. Thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it. Kim,

:17:27. > :17:31.thank you. Dave Hopper, thank you for coming on the programme. We will

:17:32. > :17:36.keep trying to get through to the headteacher. He has agreed to talk

:17:37. > :17:41.to us, but we cannot sort out the technicals at the moment. Apple

:17:42. > :17:45.wants to push consumers into a wireless world and its tactic is to

:17:46. > :17:55.get rid of the headphone socket in this newest iPhones and market tiny,

:17:56. > :17:59.wireless earbuds. We will talk about how the iPhone has been received.

:18:00. > :18:01.Some people are not happy. Thank you for your comments on sexual

:18:02. > :18:14.harassment. More than half of students talk

:18:15. > :18:21.about being sexually harassed in freshers week. First, we sent our

:18:22. > :18:30.correspondence out to talk to some students last night.

:18:31. > :18:33.I've been to some clubs where they say you have to show me

:18:34. > :18:35.what you're wearing before you go in.

:18:36. > :18:39.Ie, open up your coat so I can see what you're wearing is sexy enough?

:18:40. > :18:44.You went to a club and that was the dress code?

:18:45. > :18:48.The dress code was, there was no dress code for men,

:18:49. > :18:51.for the girls it was you have to dress sexy and once you're

:18:52. > :18:55.inside it was worse because you're already there as a sexualised

:18:56. > :19:01.object, therefore once you're in then they are probably more

:19:02. > :19:03.likely to try and take advantage of you.

:19:04. > :19:06.I've been on a night out with the lads.

:19:07. > :19:15.It turns into a game, kind of, like, before you go to a club it's like,

:19:16. > :19:20.Lads, what are we going to do tonight?

:19:21. > :19:23.How are we going to get the girls and who can get

:19:24. > :19:33.I guess the most common type is when you're dancing and you get

:19:34. > :19:35.approached by a boy, usually from behind,

:19:36. > :19:39.which speaks for itself in the fact that I think the boys say that

:19:40. > :19:42.it's a compliment and it's meant to be, I think you're beautiful

:19:43. > :19:48.But if someone comes up from behind, it is quite an oppressive

:19:49. > :19:55.One-time when I was at a foam party during freshers, quite early on,

:19:56. > :19:59.I was separated from my friends, we were in quite a big group,

:20:00. > :20:02.but because it's a foam party you can't see anything

:20:03. > :20:09.I was surrounded literally on all four sides by guys.

:20:10. > :20:15.I was all on my own and I was like, this is not OK.

:20:16. > :20:18.Your friend helped you out, or was there, I've had to do that

:20:19. > :20:21.so many times for my friends on nights out.

:20:22. > :20:32.Yes, I'm kind of a big man that has to stand there and give eyes,

:20:33. > :20:35.nearly getting into fights if the guy's been really

:20:36. > :20:41.So this union guy went to a club, there was,

:20:42. > :20:45.I think it was a freshers night, so their tag line for the night

:20:46. > :20:50.I don't know if any of you guys remember that?

:20:51. > :20:53.We might might like to think we're past this point and we are liberated

:20:54. > :20:57.and we know it is tongue in cheek, but rape isn't funny!

:20:58. > :21:01.Rape happens at universities all the time and I'm so conscious

:21:02. > :21:05.of being considered a killjoy, but it's got to the point where it's

:21:06. > :21:10.just not funny and boys need to realise it's not.

:21:11. > :21:13.The statistics show that only one in seven girls were surprised

:21:14. > :21:17.by being sexually harassed, is that what you would expect?

:21:18. > :21:20.I don't think I've ever been on a night out when not one

:21:21. > :21:24.person has had some form of sexual harassment.

:21:25. > :21:28.People almost want to hear these really traumatising stories of just

:21:29. > :21:31.like almost sexual assault, but it's not that, it's the kind

:21:32. > :21:34.of everyday grating feeling of knowing that it is a given that

:21:35. > :21:39.if you go, you will get unwarranted attention or you will get someone

:21:40. > :21:42.coming up to you after you giving no signal that you're interested.

:21:43. > :21:49.You always like end up just discussing who was the creepy

:21:50. > :21:58.In light of all of these cases that have come out recently with girls

:21:59. > :22:02.making accusations of rape and boys saying they've been given these

:22:03. > :22:12.signals, I think it is only beneficial to boys and girls

:22:13. > :22:15.to really establish consensual, I don't want to say sex,

:22:16. > :22:19.I think clubs have a responsibility to look out for girls and boys,

:22:20. > :22:21.because obviously it happens to boys as well,

:22:22. > :22:36.Let's talk to a women's officer for the National Union of Students.

:22:37. > :22:40.Nicola Dandridge, chief Executive of universities UK, and Jason who runs

:22:41. > :22:45.a student led group tackling lad culture. That is at Durham

:22:46. > :22:52.University. How is it going? It is going pretty well. Our group is not

:22:53. > :22:57.specifically only targeting lad culture, it is talking to men who

:22:58. > :23:03.want to make a difference about all aspects of masculinity and sexism.

:23:04. > :23:08.How popular is your group? So far it has just been a small group of us

:23:09. > :23:11.because Durham is quite a small university and at the minute things

:23:12. > :23:17.like this are still kind of considered a niche interest. I think

:23:18. > :23:23.we have had more of an online presence than a physical one, but we

:23:24. > :23:25.are hoping to get a lot more people in the following year, because we

:23:26. > :23:31.have only been going for a year anyway. It is interesting it is

:23:32. > :23:36.considered a niche interest because when you look at the figures today

:23:37. > :23:40.more than half of female students say they have been sexually

:23:41. > :23:45.harassed. That is not niche interest either from their women or the men's

:23:46. > :23:51.point of view. Let me ask you, Nicola Dandridge, if universities

:23:52. > :23:56.take this seriously? Of course we take this seriously. This is an

:23:57. > :24:01.extraordinarily important issue. Why is it so prevalent then? The

:24:02. > :24:06.overwhelming majority, a large number of people, men and women,

:24:07. > :24:12.have a very happy and secure time in university. Having said that, there

:24:13. > :24:18.is strong evidence of harassment and violence against women. Give me some

:24:19. > :24:24.examples of how universities are taking it seriously? There are all

:24:25. > :24:28.sorts of different ways that universities are tackling it, but

:24:29. > :24:32.universities make it very clear this is not acceptable conduct. There is

:24:33. > :24:36.no space for this harassment and behaviour and that has to be

:24:37. > :24:43.explicit right at the beginning in freshers week. That is not happening

:24:44. > :24:47.now? It is, but we need to do more. So they are making it explicit and

:24:48. > :24:52.it is still happening? There is more we need to do in terms of reaching

:24:53. > :24:56.out into schools and engaging with schools to make sure that the

:24:57. > :25:01.expectation of behaviours students have when they arrived at University

:25:02. > :25:04.on the birthday fits with the expectation is that universities

:25:05. > :25:07.have. The other thing that is important is a lot of this

:25:08. > :25:11.harassment and violence against women takes place off campus in

:25:12. > :25:16.clubs and bars in the local communities. Universities do a lot

:25:17. > :25:21.of work and training and engagement with the managers of bars and clubs

:25:22. > :25:26.in their area to make sure they shared the same standards. A lot of

:25:27. > :25:32.work is going on and it is expensive and it has to happen in partnership

:25:33. > :25:39.with communities and schools. Our universities doing enough? Certain

:25:40. > :25:43.universities are doing quite a bit, however there is a promotional

:25:44. > :25:47.issue. Even though there are universities that have taken steps

:25:48. > :25:54.to evaluate harassment procedures and make sure it does not trickle

:25:55. > :26:00.down to students, whilst there is progress at the top, down at the

:26:01. > :26:04.ground people are not aware. You were raped university and you have

:26:05. > :26:07.waived your right to anonymity, but I wonder how that experience affects

:26:08. > :26:16.the campaigning you do against sexual harassment. My experience has

:26:17. > :26:20.led to be to share about it in the community. A number of people have

:26:21. > :26:26.come to me and talked about their experiences. What is most striking

:26:27. > :26:30.is hearing the stories and in many stories it is how normal these rates

:26:31. > :26:35.look. We are not talking about the kind of thing you see in the media,

:26:36. > :26:40.someone being attacked in an alleyway by a stranger. We are

:26:41. > :26:48.talking about day-to-day relations which are in fact sexual violence.

:26:49. > :26:53.We need to look at the broad cultural shift when you think about

:26:54. > :26:58.our sexual practices in society. It links very well when you say it is

:26:59. > :27:02.great to have these consent workshops, but by the time students

:27:03. > :27:06.have got to university they have already been embedded in a society

:27:07. > :27:12.where they have been taught to think about sex in a specific way. When

:27:13. > :27:16.you say embedded in society, bits of society are watching you this

:27:17. > :27:23.morning, parents, students, kids and they do not condone this. I do not

:27:24. > :27:27.bring up my boys to invade the woman's sexual space and harass

:27:28. > :27:33.them. When you say society, what do you mean? It is all over the place.

:27:34. > :27:39.All the stuff we have going on in the media, the social media,

:27:40. > :27:47.sexualisation of women anyway which is still very prevalent. Does that

:27:48. > :27:51.become embedded in some young man's brains, women are sexualised objects

:27:52. > :27:56.and you can treat them like that? Absolutely. And with a lack of

:27:57. > :28:01.decent sex relationship education in schools in the UK, which there is a

:28:02. > :28:06.dearth of, kids are learning about sex and relationships from

:28:07. > :28:10.pornography and it does not take much to realise that is deeply

:28:11. > :28:17.problematic. Is this something that is out of control on university

:28:18. > :28:25.campuses? I do. But there is a lot of work with regards to what the NUS

:28:26. > :28:31.has been doing for years. 50% or more experience unwanted attention

:28:32. > :28:34.or inappropriate touching. This research was conducted by the NUS

:28:35. > :28:40.and we have been talking about this for years. This is what interests

:28:41. > :28:48.me. I know you have and it has not had any effect. I'm not sure I would

:28:49. > :28:53.agree with that. But how can it be out of control still? We are dealing

:28:54. > :28:58.with something that is deeply rooted and I would not expect it to change

:28:59. > :29:02.in five years. When I was raped, the first thing I did was to try to find

:29:08. > :29:11.anything. Now you can go onto the website and that information is

:29:12. > :29:14.there. We are making progress, but what we have got underlying this is

:29:15. > :29:20.a much broader social problem. We need to have conversations about the

:29:21. > :29:27.way people drink and approach the pub culture. Let me bring in Jason.

:29:28. > :29:33.Drinking is a massive part of this. Is that something you tackle in your

:29:34. > :29:38.group? Is that impossible to tackle? You are at university and you will

:29:39. > :29:45.drink. To be honest, our goal is not something we talk about that much

:29:46. > :29:51.because from our point of view, and I guess the point of view of the

:29:52. > :29:55.feminism society which we work under, alcohol is frequently used as

:29:56. > :30:02.an excuse for why people have behaved the way that they have. I

:30:03. > :30:07.think in the majority of cases people may be drinking, but people

:30:08. > :30:11.have still made that choice to assault somebody and I think they

:30:12. > :30:20.would do it regardless of whether they were drunk or not. The majority

:30:21. > :30:24.of these crimes that are outside of universities still happen when

:30:25. > :30:26.people are not drunk, so I'll call cannot be the thing that is causing

:30:27. > :30:36.these things do happen. Yes, you can talk about perpetrators

:30:37. > :30:41.drinking and the role that place. We don't want that to be an excuse. And

:30:42. > :30:45.it isn't an excuse. I am concerned about the culture we have, where it

:30:46. > :30:50.is normal for people to go out and get really drunk and to be taken

:30:51. > :30:55.home and have sex with. No blame whatsoever. Women should be able to

:30:56. > :31:00.drink as they like. But we are in a hookup culture where men are willing

:31:01. > :31:04.to take the risk of taking someone home who is intoxicated, and there

:31:05. > :31:08.is a high risk they will not be able to consent. Yet, that is ordinary

:31:09. > :31:12.hookup culture. That is how people have sex in our generation. This is

:31:13. > :31:14.a massive problem and we need to talk about it. Thank you very much

:31:15. > :31:21.for coming in. Thank you. Still to come, do you back

:32:18. > :32:29.She said the existing systems already includes selection because

:34:20. > :34:26.at 11. Lots of you want to talk about the uniform issue at the

:34:27. > :34:30.Academy in Kent. We spoke to Dave, dad, Kim, his daughter, who is at

:34:31. > :34:36.home. The third day back into the new school term. She has been sent

:34:37. > :34:40.home three times. For not wearing the correct shoes today. Yesterday

:34:41. > :34:43.it was to do with the blazer. Gary says the dad may be right but just

:34:44. > :34:47.bite the bullet and buy some leather shoes for the sake of your

:34:48. > :34:53.daughter's education. Your daughter is more important than any

:34:54. > :34:59.principle. Another says the head needs to educate, not dictate. Sarah

:35:00. > :35:02.from Twitter, sent home from school for wearing suede shoes. That is

:35:03. > :35:07.pathetic. It is not like they are flip-flops. Another says it seems

:35:08. > :35:10.insane that kids wear expensive uniforms for school when they are

:35:11. > :35:15.outgrowing them all the time. Another says, why did he choose not

:35:16. > :35:17.dressed uniformly Jim McGrath another had the same problem at

:35:18. > :35:25.their daughter's School of Doctor Martin boots. Hard-working parents

:35:26. > :35:29.are not made of money. Michelle 100% agrees with the head teacher. Rules

:35:30. > :35:34.are there for a reason. Read the policy and buy your uniform. It is

:35:35. > :35:38.not rocket science. I have two children and I made sure I knew the

:35:39. > :35:41.policies. We are still trying to talk to the headteacher. We will try

:35:42. > :35:53.very hard. Before that, the sport. The start of the Paralympics is upon

:35:54. > :35:57.us. Lee Pearce and was Great Britain's flag bearer at the opening

:36:07. > :36:09.entertaining start. Lots to come in the next ten days. Andy Murray says

:36:10. > :36:14.it will be hard for him to be fully fit for next week's Davis cup tie

:36:37. > :36:41.American company Liberty Media has confirmed it is buying Formula one

:36:42. > :36:45.for ?3.3 billion. The company has stakes in several sports and

:36:46. > :36:49.entertainment businesses. But Bernie Ecclestone will be staying as chief

:36:50. > :36:51.executive. That is all the sport for today. Back throughout the day.

:36:52. > :36:56.Thank you. It's one of the most divisive issues

:36:57. > :36:58.in our children's education. Grammar schools are seen

:36:59. > :37:01.by supporters as a way of helping bright kids get on,

:37:02. > :37:04.but by opponents as condemning children who don't get

:37:05. > :37:07.in to the scrap heap. Theresa May wants to pave the way

:37:08. > :37:10.for more of them, despite fierce opposition from many,

:37:11. > :37:11.including her Chief Grammar schools are state

:37:12. > :37:20.secondaries that select pupils Out of more than 3,000 state

:37:21. > :37:28.secondaries in England, And in Northern Ireland

:37:29. > :37:32.there are 67 grammar schools. In Scotland and Wales,

:37:33. > :37:34.schools are non-selective Grammar schools in England

:37:35. > :37:42.were phased out from the 1960s, and in 1998, Labour banned

:37:43. > :37:54.the creation of new ones in England. Now the Prime Minister wants to

:37:55. > :38:00.bring back an element of selection to education. We are expecting a

:38:01. > :38:05.question in the House of Commons from the shadow Education Secretary

:38:06. > :38:07.on this. That was due at half past ten. If that happens we will cross

:38:08. > :38:08.to it live. Sean Worth is a former

:38:09. > :38:11.Special Advisor to David Cameron and previously, head

:38:12. > :38:12.of the Conservative Chris McGovern is a retired

:38:13. > :38:17.head teacher and chair of the Campaign for Real Education.

:38:18. > :38:25.He joins us from Tunbridge Wells. Lucy Powell is a Labour MP

:38:26. > :38:27.and the former Shadow Education Secretary.

:38:28. > :38:43.She's in our Salford studio. Sean Worth, what do you think of

:38:44. > :38:47.this plan? The debate is whether grammar schools do or don't work.

:38:48. > :38:53.The evidence is clear. They do work. But the big problem is access for

:38:54. > :38:57.the poorest kids. They have had a divisive effect in the past. If we

:38:58. > :39:01.do see an expansion of grammar schools, we've very clearly want to

:39:02. > :39:07.see them targeted in the poorest areas and for the benefit of the

:39:08. > :39:10.poorest children. Critics say they could be targeted in the poorest

:39:11. > :39:15.areas and wealthy middle class parents will move into the area,

:39:16. > :39:17.house prices will shoot up and the very children who are supposed to

:39:18. > :39:26.get into those grammar schools from poor backgrounds will be priced out?

:39:27. > :39:30.You cannot ever stop parents from trying to get a good school for

:39:31. > :39:34.their kids. The key point about getting really good bright kids from

:39:35. > :39:38.poor backgrounds into decent school, because let's face it, the school

:39:39. > :39:43.system has failed the poorest families for many years, that is why

:39:44. > :39:46.there should be more attention on policy-making... The key point is to

:39:47. > :39:51.look at is the selection process. The test at age 11 is totally

:39:52. > :39:54.unfair. It has always been. If you want to reform the grammar system,

:39:55. > :40:00.look at that. Don't think grammars are the answer to improving schools

:40:01. > :40:04.generally. Do not take your foot off the gas in terms of improving all

:40:05. > :40:07.schools through the pupil premium, better teaching, higher paid

:40:08. > :40:11.teachers, more challenging schools. There are a host of policy levers

:40:12. > :40:17.you can pull off which grammar schools are one. Chris McGovern, can

:40:18. > :40:21.you make an 11 plus that is tutor proof, so that you genuinely -- you

:40:22. > :40:29.are genuinely testing the brightest kids? 11 is a very young age. I am

:40:30. > :40:33.an 11 plus failure. I did pass at 30. There needs to be flexibility

:40:34. > :40:38.within the system. We have that combines of schools for 50 years. In

:40:39. > :40:42.the international league tables we are bottom for social mobility but

:40:43. > :40:46.top for illiteracy and in numerous Eve. The comprehensive system is not

:40:47. > :40:49.working. We need to teach children in line with their ability. We

:40:50. > :40:54.totally support grammar schools as long as they are put alongside

:40:55. > :40:57.higher standard vocational schools. We need bright academic children to

:40:58. > :41:01.be taught in an academic environment. We need children with

:41:02. > :41:05.nonacademic skills to have a vocational education. We should be

:41:06. > :41:09.debated when that happens, had aged 13 or 14 in most countries. It is

:41:10. > :41:13.nonsense to suggest that grammar schools will be an impediment to

:41:14. > :41:17.social mobility. It is the comprehensive system which is an

:41:18. > :41:20.impediment to social mobility because parents buy into the

:41:21. > :41:25.catchment area of good schools if they have money. Let me bring in

:41:26. > :41:28.Lucy Powell, former shadow Education Secretary. There are plenty of

:41:29. > :41:32.working class parents who really would like the opportunity to get

:41:33. > :41:36.their child into a grammar school because their child is bright

:41:37. > :41:42.enough. They will welcome this expansion, while they? No. When they

:41:43. > :41:44.look at the evidence they realise their kids have got very little

:41:45. > :41:49.chance of getting into these schools. If you look at today's

:41:50. > :41:56.grammar schools, the 163 you talked about, you are than 3% are on free

:41:57. > :42:00.school meals in these schools. What if there is a proportion of kids

:42:01. > :42:04.that had to be on free school meals in the new grammar schools? Why not

:42:05. > :42:09.start with the existing grammar schools and forced the existing

:42:10. > :42:13.grammar schools to reform how they operate, so they can prove the model

:42:14. > :42:18.first. The Conservative government have done nothing to address that

:42:19. > :42:21.over the last six days. That is why David Willetts, the former Tory

:42:22. > :42:27.education minister, one of the brains of the Conservative Party,

:42:28. > :42:30.has been saying over the past couple of days that grammar schools are the

:42:31. > :42:36.domain or the preserve, if you like, of the privately tutored rich

:42:37. > :42:40.families. They do nothing at all for social mobility. In fact, they

:42:41. > :42:45.entrench advantage because they put poorer people at a disadvantage.

:42:46. > :42:48.That is why the evidence is so incredibly clear. If you look at a

:42:49. > :42:55.place like Kent, that still has grammar schools and most of its

:42:56. > :43:00.schools are grammar schools... When you create grammar schools, you

:43:01. > :43:03.create secondary modern is. The poorest children perform far worse

:43:04. > :43:06.in Kent than they do in nearby London, which is a comprehensive

:43:07. > :43:12.system, where they perform much better, because we have put a huge

:43:13. > :43:17.amount of heavy-duty -- into creating outstanding combines of

:43:18. > :43:22.schools right across London. Chris McGovern, do you accept that? Not at

:43:23. > :43:27.all. It is nonsense. Northern Ireland has had the best result in

:43:28. > :43:34.the UK forever. London is a particular case. There are a lot of

:43:35. > :43:37.highly motivated immigrant children. The immigrant population raises the

:43:38. > :43:41.standards. We are the only country in the developed world where the

:43:42. > :43:46.grandparents outperform grandchildren in literacy and

:43:47. > :43:49.numeracy. I'm going to interrupt to cross to the House of Commons so we

:43:50. > :43:59.can hear the urgent question from the shadow Education Secretary.

:44:00. > :44:02.Thank you, Mr Speaker. As the Prime Minister has said, this government

:44:03. > :44:07.is committed to building a country that works for everyone. Not just

:44:08. > :44:11.the privileged few. We believe every person should have the opportunity

:44:12. > :44:14.to fulfil their potential. No matter what their background or where

:44:15. > :44:18.they're from. Education is at the heart of this ambition. We inherited

:44:19. > :44:23.a system from the last Labour government, however, where far too

:44:24. > :44:27.many children left school without the qualifications or the skills

:44:28. > :44:33.they needed to be successful in life. And our far-reaching reforms

:44:34. > :44:37.over the last six years have changed this. Strengthening school

:44:38. > :44:43.leadership, improving standards of behaviour in our classrooms and

:44:44. > :44:47.ensuring children are taught to read more effectively. Improving maths

:44:48. > :44:51.teaching in primary schools. As a result there are now 1.4 million

:44:52. > :44:56.more pupils in schools rated as good a right standing, than in 2010. This

:44:57. > :44:59.means more young people are being given the opportunity to access

:45:00. > :45:04.better teaching and to maximise their potential. This is what we

:45:05. > :45:09.want for all children and where we are continuing our reforms so every

:45:10. > :45:13.child can have the best possible start in life. It is why we are

:45:14. > :45:17.doubling free childcare to 30 hours for working parents of three and

:45:18. > :45:21.four-year-olds. As I said in July, on the issue of academic selection,

:45:22. > :45:25.I am open-minded because we cannot rule out anything out of that could

:45:26. > :45:29.help us grow opportunity for all and give more people the chance to do

:45:30. > :45:41.well in life. The landscape for schools has changed hugely in the

:45:42. > :45:43.last ten, 20, 30 years. We now have a whole variety of educational

:45:44. > :45:46.offers available. There will be no return to the simplistic binary

:45:47. > :45:52.choice of the past were schools separate children into winners and

:45:53. > :45:53.losers. We want to build on our success and create a truly 21st

:45:54. > :46:09.century School system. We need a truly diverse range of

:46:10. > :46:12.schools and specialisms. We need more good schools in more areas of

:46:13. > :46:17.the country responding to the needs of every child, regardless of their

:46:18. > :46:27.background. We are looking at a range of options. We want to help

:46:28. > :46:37.everybody go as far as they can with the individual talent that they

:46:38. > :46:42.have. Angela Rayner. Thank you, Mr Speaker, despite that wobble, the

:46:43. > :46:45.cat is out of the bag. The government has revealed their plans

:46:46. > :46:52.for grammar schools in England, but not in this house. But through leaks

:46:53. > :46:55.to the press and at a private meeting of the members opposite. So

:46:56. > :47:00.much for the one nation government we were promised. Will the Secretary

:47:01. > :47:04.of State promised today that future such announcements will be made here

:47:05. > :47:10.so that we can give the policy the scrutiny it so badly needs? Perhaps

:47:11. > :47:15.she can tell us the evidence base for it today. As she read the ISS

:47:16. > :47:20.report into grammar schools in England? If so, perhaps she

:47:21. > :47:24.remembers the conclusion that among high achievers, those who were

:47:25. > :47:27.eligible for free school meals or live in poorer neighbourhoods are

:47:28. > :47:37.significantly less likely to go to grammar school. The OECD, the Sutton

:47:38. > :47:42.trust and even the government's own social mobility czar and their chief

:47:43. > :47:45.inspector of schools have all cited evidence against this policy. In

:47:46. > :47:51.Kent where we have grammar schools in the attainment gap is far wider

:47:52. > :47:56.than elsewhere. Can she tell us what evidence she has to support her

:47:57. > :48:01.belief that grammar schools would help disadvantaged children and

:48:02. > :48:07.close the attainment gap? Mr Speaker, at a time when our schools

:48:08. > :48:11.are facing a crisis in teacher recruitment and retention with

:48:12. > :48:15.thousands taught in super-sized classes and schools facing real term

:48:16. > :48:21.cuts to their budget for the first time in nearly two decades, pushing

:48:22. > :48:26.ahead with grammar schools shows a dangerous misunderstanding of the

:48:27. > :48:30.real issues facing our schools. Can the Secretary of State tell us what

:48:31. > :48:34.she will be doing to address the real problems that are facing our

:48:35. > :48:39.schools today? The Prime Minister has said this policy is justified

:48:40. > :48:43.because we already have social selection. Quite how making things

:48:44. > :48:48.worse by bringing back grammar schools is a solution remains a

:48:49. > :48:54.mystery. Perhaps the Secretary of State can tell us why she is not

:48:55. > :49:02.ensuring all children get a decent education. This policy will not help

:49:03. > :49:08.social policy, but it will be the lucky few who can afford the tuition

:49:09. > :49:12.who will get ahead and the disadvantage will be left behind. A

:49:13. > :49:16.policy for the few at the expense of the many. I was told the Tories know

:49:17. > :49:22.the cost of everything and the value of nothing. I do not think they even

:49:23. > :49:25.know that any more. The Prime Minister promised to lead a one

:49:26. > :49:31.nation government. She said her policy would be led by the evidence

:49:32. > :49:35.and she claimed she would govern for the disadvantaged and not the

:49:36. > :49:42.privileged few, yet this policy fails on every single parent. Angela

:49:43. > :49:46.Rayner, a very animated Shadow Education Secretary. Before that you

:49:47. > :49:49.heard from the cob rounds educated Education Secretary Justine

:49:50. > :49:53.Greening. Thank you for all your comments and thank you to Sean

:49:54. > :49:58.Worth, former special adviser to David Cameron. And to Lucy Powell, a

:49:59. > :50:17.former education minister. OK, so admit it, are you one

:50:18. > :50:19.of those who is already desperate to get your hands

:50:20. > :50:22.on the new iphone 7? socket and are launching

:50:23. > :50:26.new wireless headphones. It's also the first iPhone

:50:27. > :50:28.to be water resistant. Our North America technology

:50:29. > :50:30.reporter Dave Lee has been So, here we have it -

:50:31. > :50:35.the new iPhone seven. This one is in the jet black colour,

:50:36. > :50:38.one of the new colours There are a few improvements,

:50:39. > :50:41.one is a better camera and better camera technology

:50:42. > :50:43.and stabilisers which it to notice is that it's

:50:44. > :50:51.first time there is no This has made it easier

:50:52. > :50:55.for them to make it more water resistant,

:50:56. > :50:57.but of course, there's no headphones,

:50:58. > :51:00.so instead there's one is to have headphones that go

:51:01. > :51:06.into the lightning port that you might use to charge your phone,

:51:07. > :51:10.you will now be able to buy headphones that directly go into

:51:11. > :51:12.there, or there is little adapter that can change normal headphones

:51:13. > :51:15.to go in there as well. It is a little bit ugly,

:51:16. > :51:18.and I think that the reason why it doesn't look great

:51:19. > :51:21.is Apple also wants you to buy These are their new

:51:22. > :51:25.wireless headphones. They look very much like

:51:26. > :51:27.the old earphones but without the What they do is pop into your ears

:51:28. > :51:34.and they connect directly to your phone in a way they promise is much

:51:35. > :51:36.simpler than using Bluetooth. I don't know about you but I find

:51:37. > :51:39.Bluetooth difficult. These will be $159,

:51:40. > :51:43.which I think puts it a bit of a risk of someone coming up

:51:44. > :51:45.to you and pinching them straight out of your ear,

:51:46. > :51:48.but we'll see if that happens. This is Apple's big development

:51:49. > :51:56.in this new iPhone seven. Our technology reporter

:51:57. > :51:58.Chris Foxx is with me now - what kind of reaction has the iphone

:51:59. > :52:09.7 been getting? Are people going to go for these

:52:10. > :52:14.expensive headphones? $159 is really expensive. But some Apple fans will

:52:15. > :52:17.pay any amount of money for its staff. But you need to charge your

:52:18. > :52:25.headphones with the bog-standard pair like in the olden days. You can

:52:26. > :52:28.listen to music while your phone is plugged in and charging, but you

:52:29. > :52:33.cannot do it with these lightning port ones. But there are some

:52:34. > :52:37.advanced features in these headphones, they can do voice

:52:38. > :52:42.control, which you could do with an old-fashioned Bluetooth headset. But

:52:43. > :52:47.Apple has its fans that will throw money at whatever they come up with.

:52:48. > :52:53.The phone itself will be ?100 more to people in Britain than in the

:52:54. > :52:56.States. Why? They have put up the prize of some of the iPad is

:52:57. > :53:02.quietly, even though they were given a price cut in the US. That could be

:53:03. > :53:06.due to fluctuations with the pound. But Apple says prices in the US do

:53:07. > :53:12.not include tax. In Britain the prices include VAT. Other features

:53:13. > :53:19.of the iPhone seven and how different it is not to the previous

:53:20. > :53:24.one, it has got two cameras. The screen is 25% brighter and it is

:53:25. > :53:30.water resistant. Water resistant, yes, but not waterproof. Water

:53:31. > :53:35.resistant means you can wash it. If it falls out into the loo, it still

:53:36. > :53:40.might be damaged. It might be fine, but I would not recommend going

:53:41. > :53:47.swimming with it. Samsung and other rivals have been water resistant for

:53:48. > :53:50.a long time. The point of the dual camera is so you can make the

:53:51. > :53:55.background in your photos blurry and make them look more professional. It

:53:56. > :54:00.also has won wide angle lens, so you can fit all your friends in around

:54:01. > :54:04.the dinner table and one of the other lenses is more of a zoom lens,

:54:05. > :54:06.so you can get close up to things that are further away. But rival

:54:07. > :54:15.phones have had that as well. The Paralympics kicked

:54:16. > :54:17.off in Rio last night More than 260 British athletes

:54:18. > :54:21.will take part in 19 sports The organisers say they're confident

:54:22. > :54:25.that Rio is ready despite poor So, will the Games end in sporting

:54:26. > :54:31.triumph for ParalympicsGB? Let's talk now to two very

:54:32. > :54:33.proud parents in Rio, Helen and Darrell, Mum and Dad

:54:34. > :54:44.of Paralympic Swimmer Ollie Hynd. We cannot see you, but we can hear

:54:45. > :54:46.you, which is good enough for me having spent 20 years in radio.

:54:47. > :54:50.Helen and Darell, Ollie was born with a condition called

:54:51. > :54:54.Neuro Muscular Myopathy, tell us how that affects him.

:54:55. > :55:06.Good morning, Victoria. Thank you for having us on. Yes, it is a type

:55:07. > :55:11.of muscular dystrophy and basically it weakens the muscles and it is a

:55:12. > :55:18.progressive condition. How does that affect him when it comes to training

:55:19. > :55:26.for example? It affect him in his daily life, let alone training. He

:55:27. > :55:31.gets weakness right throughout his body from his hips down, basically.

:55:32. > :55:37.His legs are the worst affected part of his body. Your legs and your hips

:55:38. > :55:47.are a vital part of your swimming technique. Basically he uses 60% of

:55:48. > :55:53.his upper body to swim. Darryl, are you with us? I am, yes, good

:55:54. > :55:58.morning. I love people in the early hours of the morning sounding as

:55:59. > :56:03.bright as you are. It is perhaps an illustration of how excited you are

:56:04. > :56:11.to be there supporting your son. Yes, absolutely. It is a long way,

:56:12. > :56:16.Rio, from the UK, but we are here and we are already to go now and we

:56:17. > :56:22.are about to leave by the Olympic Park and this morning's racing. When

:56:23. > :56:25.Ollie was 13 he went to the Beijing Paralympics to watch his brother win

:56:26. > :56:34.a gold medal. That inspired him clearly. He wanted to swim faster.

:56:35. > :56:38.Yes, indeed. It was a time when his body was changing very much and it

:56:39. > :56:44.was deteriorating very rapidly. He has always swum and done able-bodied

:56:45. > :56:51.swimming, but it was during that time when he went to Beijing and he

:56:52. > :56:57.was not sure at all what the future was going to hold for him. His body

:56:58. > :57:01.was changing very quickly, but it inspired him seeing his brother win

:57:02. > :57:04.that gold medal, just as it inspired a lot of us. What are your

:57:05. > :57:10.expectations for him at the Olympics? I am so proud he has

:57:11. > :57:17.actually made it and he has been training really hard. I know that

:57:18. > :57:21.boy will go out and give 110% if there is such a thing. He will give

:57:22. > :57:27.his absolute best and what ever that brings, he will be super proud of

:57:28. > :57:33.it. Thank you for talking to us live from rear. Good luck to Ollie and

:57:34. > :57:38.hopefully we will speak to you again soon. Thank you very much. Goodbye.

:57:39. > :57:44.The reason we can only show still pictures of the Paralympics and of

:57:45. > :57:49.other athletes is because Channel 4 have the rights and not the BBC. We

:57:50. > :57:54.are only allowed to show a very small amount of moving pictures over

:57:55. > :57:59.the next week and a half, to explain that for you. Lots of comments about

:58:00. > :58:03.school uniform and this school in Kent. Dave says it is ridiculous to

:58:04. > :58:11.expect students to wear uniforms when teachers are wearing casual

:58:12. > :58:14.wear. Loads of people supporting the headteacher. U is uniform and it is

:58:15. > :58:21.cheaper than buying your own clothes. We are back tomorrow at

:58:22. > :58:22.nine o'clock and Joanna is here. Thank you for watching and have a

:58:23. > :58:27.good day.
