:03:55. > :03:58.co-operation between America and Russia if the ceasefire had

:03:59. > :04:04.according to plan. What is the expectation on where all of this

:04:05. > :04:08.goes now? Well, I think there is pessimism about future co-operation.

:04:09. > :04:12.Certainly the Russians are furiously denying any involvement in that

:04:13. > :04:15.attack on the UN aid convoy. The spokesperson for the Russian Foreign

:04:16. > :04:19.Ministry said that Russia had nothing to do with that situation,

:04:20. > :04:24.that there were no facts to prove otherwise. Earlier the Russian

:04:25. > :04:27.Foreign Minister in New York giving an interview to Russian state

:04:28. > :04:32.television claimed there were no Russian planes in the area at the

:04:33. > :04:35.time of the attack and no Syrian planes in the area as well. Let me

:04:36. > :04:37.give you a flavour of what the Russian papers are saying about the

:04:38. > :04:45.situation. This is the Government paper. And it says the rebels knew

:04:46. > :04:47.about the convoy suggesting it was the Syrian rebels who were

:04:48. > :04:52.responsible for the attack. And it says it is a strange coincidence

:04:53. > :04:57.that the US State Department has accused Russian pilots of having

:04:58. > :05:03.something to do with the attack so soon after it was the planes of the

:05:04. > :05:08.US-led coalition who bombed the Syrian army on Saturday. This is

:05:09. > :05:13.another very pro-Kremlin paper. It has a similar message and it claims

:05:14. > :05:16.that the Syrian rebels were responsible for the attack. Either

:05:17. > :05:20.because they decided to escalate the situation by attacking the convoy

:05:21. > :05:25.the paper says, or because they they received orders from America to do

:05:26. > :05:29.so. Now, contrast that, the very pro-Kremlin papers with another

:05:30. > :05:34.paper. It is traditionally quite critical of the Kremlin. On its

:05:35. > :05:39.front page today it said, "Assad bombed the ceasefire in Syria."

:05:40. > :05:42.Saying that the Syrian Government forces were responsible for

:05:43. > :05:46.targeting the convoy and inside the paper says this was a barbaric

:05:47. > :05:51.attack, the explanation that comes to mind the article says is that

:05:52. > :05:56.this was a revenge attack for the bombing of Syrian forces by that

:05:57. > :06:00.US-led coalition on Saturday and it concludes by saying that the

:06:01. > :06:04.consequence of all of this is that diplomacy is practically powerless

:06:05. > :06:06.now in Syria. Thank you very much, Steve.

:06:07. > :06:08.Annita is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

:06:09. > :06:14.This programme has learned that the number of people

:06:15. > :06:17.with mental health problems and learning difficulties who have

:06:39. > :06:45.I find it ex-rode airline depressing and I started to sort of think about

:06:46. > :06:50.explanations and I think part of the explanation is that most mental

:06:56. > :06:59.even more so they're operating under enormous strain often with staff

:11:12. > :11:14.and the idea is to cut some away and open them up so they can

:12:03. > :12:05.The appeal of these breeds is plain to see, but the features they have

:12:06. > :12:13.They're the result of intense selection.

:12:14. > :12:16.And it is the company behind Crufts, the Kennel Club, that sets out

:12:17. > :12:20.the breed standards for how every type of dog should look.

:12:21. > :12:23.Back through history there are some dire things that went on,

:12:24. > :12:26.most significantly all of the breed standards were changed in 2009

:12:27. > :12:28.to make sure that there weren't characteristics that mitigated

:14:48. > :14:51.Well, for those of use who have seen Chris Ashton play rugby he isn't

:14:52. > :14:53.overly aggressive in normal play but over his career he's been

:14:54. > :14:56.at the centre of a number of violent flash points, I remember

:14:57. > :15:00.he was cited once for pulling a player off the field by his hair -

:15:01. > :15:07.and he missed 10 weeks of last season for an eye gouging charge -

:15:08. > :15:10.that meant he lost his place in the Six Nations winning squad

:15:11. > :15:16.earlier this year and wasn't recalled for the victorious tour

:15:17. > :15:21.He's always said being back in an England shirt was his complete

:15:27. > :15:33.What's England's unbeaten record now?

:15:34. > :15:35.Rather incredibly, England haven't lost a competitive qualifier

:15:38. > :15:39.against Belgium last night to guaranteed top spot

:16:57. > :17:02.It also shows little change in the use of face down

:17:03. > :17:04.restraint, which can restrict a person's breathing.

:17:06. > :17:08.Here's our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt.

:17:09. > :17:14.Arms gripped, forced down, pinned to the ground.

:17:15. > :17:17.This is what facedown restraint looks like in a demonstration.

:17:37. > :17:41.In the past she's also been sexually assaulted.

:17:42. > :17:46.The last time she was restrained facedown on a mental health ward

:17:47. > :17:49.It involved about half a dozen staff.

:17:50. > :17:51.She was suicidal and a male nurse was assigned to

:17:52. > :17:59.I got very, very distressed that there was this male nurse

:18:00. > :18:13.watching me use the bathroom, use the toilet, to shower.

:18:14. > :18:18.And I asked for a female nurse, I asked for him to go away.

:18:19. > :18:20.I tried to get past him - he physically stopped

:18:21. > :18:28.And then what happens is, a restraint team arrives.

:18:29. > :18:31.These were large male nurses and the weight on my back

:18:32. > :18:33.It feels like you're being assaulted.

:18:34. > :18:36.Five years ago, an investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme

:18:37. > :18:40.showed people with learning disabilities being goaded and then

:18:41. > :18:42.brutally restrained at the now closed Winterbourne View private

:18:43. > :18:46.As a result, in April 2014, the Government issued new guidance

:18:47. > :18:52.aimed at reducing physical restraint.

:18:53. > :18:54.It says staff mustn't physically restrain people in a way

:19:03. > :19:10.and a Freedom of Information request underlines how little has changed.

:19:11. > :19:13.Just before the new guidance was introduced, just over 57,000

:19:14. > :19:17.But two years on, there were nearly 67,000.

:19:18. > :19:26.Better reporting may explain some of that significant rise.

:19:27. > :19:28.But nearly 19% of those restraints were facedown.

:19:29. > :19:30.The information was collected by Norman Lamb,

:19:31. > :19:36.the former Health Minister who introduced the guidance.

:19:37. > :19:38.I found it extraordinarily depressing, and I started

:19:39. > :19:44.And I think part of the explanation is that most mental health units

:19:45. > :19:49.around the country are operating on 100% capacity, if not even more.

:19:50. > :19:51.So they're operating under enormous strain,

:19:52. > :19:56.often with staff shortages, with the use of agency staff.

:19:57. > :19:58.So this becomes containment, control, who rather

:19:59. > :20:01.So this becomes containment, control, rather than

:20:02. > :20:08.And so we're letting down some of the vulnerable

:20:09. > :20:10.people in our country in the most dreadful way.

:20:11. > :20:12.The man in the middle being restrained in this

:20:13. > :20:15.demonstration is Professor Tim Kendall.

:20:16. > :20:18.His health trust in Sheffield has managed to end the use of facedown

:20:19. > :20:20.restraint and reduce physical restraint overall.

:20:21. > :20:27.Professor Kendall is also NHS England's new clinical

:20:28. > :20:33.He says they are making progress, but the use of restraint varies

:20:34. > :20:41.I think restraint is an incredibly important index of how well

:20:42. > :20:45.we are humanising and ethicising, professionalising, the way we look

:20:46. > :20:51.after people on inpatient units in particular.

:20:52. > :21:00.So, for those trusts where they're not changing in a positive way,

:21:01. > :21:03.or worse still, where things are still becoming more negative,

:21:04. > :21:05.they really need to take note of this.

:21:06. > :21:07.These are real human rights and ethical issues that they should

:21:08. > :21:11.But for those trusts where they're coming back

:21:12. > :21:13.with zero facedown restraint, for example my own trust,

:21:14. > :21:16.or Nottingham, who clearly have no facedown restriction

:21:17. > :21:25.Others should also take note of Jane, who believes the biggest

:21:26. > :21:28.single impact of being restrained was, she stopped talking

:21:29. > :21:31.to the people she had hoped would help her.

:21:32. > :21:33.You don't tell nursing staff or psychiatrists how

:21:34. > :21:37.you're actually feeling, because your main objective

:21:38. > :21:41.is to get out of there as soon as you can, and you will do whatever

:21:42. > :21:48.So that includes being discharged when you're still suicidal,

:21:49. > :21:51.because you're not going to tell them you're suicidal.

:21:52. > :21:55.because you're not going to tell them you're still suicidal.

:21:56. > :21:59.Because the risk of being restrained in that way is very real.

:22:00. > :22:02.And if they can do it to me, somebody with no history of violence

:22:03. > :22:10.or aggression or resistance at all, who rarely raises my voice

:22:11. > :22:12.in that sort of situation, who's quiet and withdrawn,

:22:13. > :22:20.He was in our film there and campaigned for a change

:22:21. > :22:22.in government guidelines on restraining mental health patients.

:22:23. > :22:26.Paul Farmer is from the mental health charity Mind.

:22:27. > :22:29.Their initial research prompted Norman Lamb to raise it as an issue

:22:30. > :22:33.And Sarah - not her real name - was sectioned and says

:22:34. > :22:37.she was restrained, face down, six times in a mental health hospital.

:22:38. > :22:40.She wants to remain anonymous because of what she sees

:22:41. > :22:55.Sarah, our report gave a pretty good impression of how it must feel to be

:22:56. > :22:59.restrained. It's happened to you six times, so tell us how you felt? I

:23:00. > :23:04.felt like I was being ambushed by kidnappers, I suppose. It was

:23:05. > :23:06.completely out of the blue, it was completely extraordinary, I've never

:23:07. > :23:12.experienced anything like it before or since. One thing I think the VT

:23:13. > :23:16.did not show was that it is six people, six people who turn up, one

:23:17. > :23:20.for each limb, one for the head, and one to monitor over all of it.

:23:21. > :23:26.They're chatting to each other, they're laughing, they're

:23:27. > :23:30.coordinating. They would turn around with their blue latex gloves, they

:23:31. > :23:34.would all move at the same time, I would be manoeuvred facedown onto my

:23:35. > :23:39.bed, one person would be kneeling on each leg, and that would press into

:23:40. > :23:42.the metal at the end of the bed. One person holding each arm down, one

:23:43. > :23:46.person for the head, one person over the top and then they would yank

:23:47. > :23:52.down my trousers on one side and pull down my underwear. There would

:23:53. > :23:56.be an anti-psychotic swab and they would stick a needle in, and then

:23:57. > :24:00.they would do the same on the other side, pull down my trousers, jab me

:24:01. > :24:04.with the needle, and then at a signal, they would all let go as

:24:05. > :24:07.one, and they would be clamouring off the bed, and I would be lying

:24:08. > :24:11.there facedown in dirty sheets with my bed pulled out from the wall. And

:24:12. > :24:14.I would have just been in my bed space minding my own business. So

:24:15. > :24:19.it's horrifying, it's terrifying, and I think anyone who was feeling

:24:20. > :24:24.pretty happy and chirpy and strong would be shocked by that. But for

:24:25. > :24:29.me, I was very vulnerable. I suppose I collapsed mentally and I'd gone in

:24:30. > :24:33.there for help and refuge and asylum, and instead, what I got was

:24:34. > :24:40.absolutely relies in the most toxic way possible. I never knew when they

:24:41. > :24:43.were going to turn up. It would be again and again and again, out of

:24:44. > :24:48.the blue, just to administer medication. There was never anyone

:24:49. > :24:52.who warned me, never anyone spoke to me, never once did someone say, we

:24:53. > :24:56.think is what's wrong with you, these are some medication options,

:24:57. > :25:00.what do you think? Not once was I offered medication in advance. I

:25:01. > :25:05.would look up and there would -- and there they would be. One time I was

:25:06. > :25:09.in a meeting with my independent mental health advocate. She asked me

:25:10. > :25:13.to go and get a letter, I went to my bed space, to look for it, I heard a

:25:14. > :25:18.noise and turned around and there they were, mob handed, and they did

:25:19. > :25:21.that same thing to me again. Your flipped upside down, all dignity and

:25:22. > :25:25.humanity stripped, treated like an animal, forcing you to go to places

:25:26. > :25:30.you had never been before. I'd never shown any aggression or violence or

:25:31. > :25:35.resistance. I'm acquired, middle-aged, middle-class woman! It

:25:36. > :25:39.was just horrifying! Norman, that happened to Sarah in 2011,

:25:40. > :25:43.repeatedly over the course of that year. Because of cases like that,

:25:44. > :25:49.two years ago, you introduced guidelines - have the gene and

:25:50. > :25:52.quickly ignored? Well, in many places, that's what it feels like.

:25:53. > :25:57.It was this man who started it all off. He did a survey which showed

:25:58. > :26:01.the extent of the restraint. I was horrified by what I saw so I brought

:26:02. > :26:04.people into the department, including people who had suffered

:26:05. > :26:09.restraint, and it's harrowing to hear these stories. And this is in

:26:10. > :26:13.the hands of the state. This is people who go into the care of the

:26:14. > :26:20.state and are suffering abuse and assault effectively. And of course,

:26:21. > :26:23.there will be many people in those settings who suffered abuse at some

:26:24. > :26:29.stage in their life, and so for them, being assaulted in this way,

:26:30. > :26:34.that's how it feels like, is a real trauma which can lead to

:26:35. > :26:41.post-traumatic stress and so forth. It is a human rights issue. And

:26:42. > :26:45.here's the thing - we know from progressive practitioners like Tim

:26:46. > :26:49.Kendall, who thankfully, as national clinical director, hopefully can

:26:50. > :26:54.drive change, they've shown it's possible. He's ended facedown

:26:55. > :26:58.restraint, significantly reduced other restraint. So there is no

:26:59. > :27:02.excuse really not to treat this as a top priority. Because if you lose

:27:03. > :27:06.the trust of the people caring for you, you can't have therapeutic

:27:07. > :27:10.recovery. It's impossible. It's just force and containment. Paul,

:27:11. > :27:17.listening to Sarah here with us and Jane in our report, it seems that

:27:18. > :27:21.what happened to them came out of the blue. You would imagine that any

:27:22. > :27:25.restraint is going to be happening, it's in response to somebody who is

:27:26. > :27:29.behaving in a way that the people looking after them feel they cannot

:27:30. > :27:34.handle it - what's your explanation for the sort of cases that we're

:27:35. > :27:38.hearing and why the restraint is used? Well, it's hard to come up

:27:39. > :27:43.with any possible human explanation for why this should take place. As

:27:44. > :27:46.you've already heard from Sarah, when restraint is being used on

:27:47. > :27:52.people who are not threatening or violent towards staff in anyway,

:27:53. > :27:56.then you have to ask the question about, what is the culture in

:27:57. > :28:03.particular ward? And is it common? Well, I think what the really

:28:04. > :28:07.helpful information tells us today, we've just started to look at it and

:28:08. > :28:11.understand it, who is that it's far too common in far too many places.

:28:12. > :28:14.But it's also very erratic. There's clearly some parts of the country

:28:15. > :28:18.where trusts have really taken the new guidelines on board and taken it

:28:19. > :28:22.seriously, and we've seen significant reductions. And other

:28:23. > :28:26.parts of the country where there has been very little change or indeed

:28:27. > :28:30.increasing use of restraint. We need to understand what's going on in

:28:31. > :28:34.those particular trusts, to understand why restraint is in some

:28:35. > :28:38.cases being used more. It might be because it is being reported better.

:28:39. > :28:41.But we need to understand to what extent some of the cultural issues

:28:42. > :28:46.are being addressed. We're talking about people who might be at their

:28:47. > :28:49.most vulnerable. You only really go into a mental health hospital now

:28:50. > :28:54.when you're really ill. So your very vulnerable. It's so important that

:28:55. > :28:59.people are treated humanely and in a dignified way. There's also a huge

:29:00. > :29:03.impact on staff, who often have not been trained adequately. There is no

:29:04. > :29:07.accreditation of training, which is a massive issue. So we do not know

:29:08. > :29:14.the quality of much of the training. And a lot of staff end up injured at

:29:15. > :29:16.work. In places where they have transformed the culture, they find

:29:17. > :29:22.they end up with massive reductions in sickness absence of staff cars

:29:23. > :29:29.they are safer. So everyone's interests, this has to change. You

:29:30. > :29:36.wanted to come back in? I think I was just vigorously agreeing! It

:29:37. > :29:40.creates a toxic work culture. Because the six people who would

:29:41. > :29:44.come in and do the restraint on me, three of them were a rapid response

:29:45. > :29:48.squad who used to look in the corridors, waiting to be called. But

:29:49. > :29:51.the three other staff would be occupational therapists and nurses

:29:52. > :29:55.who were working on the ward in any case. And they were just talking to

:29:56. > :30:00.each other. So it was very much them and us. There was no possibility of

:30:01. > :30:04.developing a therapeutic relationship. This has been so

:30:05. > :30:07.entrenched in the system, may be something stronger than guidance is

:30:08. > :30:12.needed? I think it needs to become what they call in the Health Service

:30:13. > :30:16.a never event, something that should never happen. But how do you make

:30:17. > :30:20.that happen? The guidance came in two years ago and the numbers have

:30:21. > :30:27.gone up - does it need something stronger? I think what we've seen in

:30:28. > :30:30.terms of the response to the guidance is clearly not enough. So

:30:31. > :30:37.there needs to be a much firmer direction given nationally, that

:30:38. > :30:42.this is something that can't be tolerated. I understand that we're

:30:43. > :30:45.sometimes dealing with some highly context individuals who are going

:30:46. > :30:51.through their own real anxieties, but we have to understand that if

:30:52. > :30:56.you can take action to avoid situations developing, where people

:30:57. > :31:01.become anxious and stressed... And Sarah's case, it was to apply

:31:02. > :31:05.medication, but often it is when someone gets acutely distressed and

:31:06. > :31:10.anxious and then they come in to restrain them. And there are clear

:31:11. > :31:13.strategies which can be used to avoid these strategies happening in

:31:14. > :31:17.the first place. There is an absolute imperative to do the

:31:18. > :31:22.training. But does a message need to go out first of all, Paul, that it

:31:23. > :31:29.just will not be tolerated? It's not just guidance? I think three things

:31:30. > :31:34.need to happen. First of all we should not have to rely on Freedom

:31:35. > :31:36.of Information requests to get this information, it should be routinely

:31:37. > :31:42.and transparently reported by every trust. Secondly I think there needs

:31:43. > :31:44.to be a very strong message that the use of facedown restraint in

:31:45. > :31:48.particular really should not be tolerated. Some people have lost

:31:49. > :31:55.their lives as a result of this type of restraint. And thirdly, I think

:31:56. > :31:57.as Tim said on your peace, this is a litmus test for the way in which we

:31:58. > :32:07.are treating people with mental health problems.

:32:08. > :32:14.This is one of those indicators we need to keep a close eye on. Sair

:32:15. > :32:18.ration you went into hospital for treatment because you were in a

:32:19. > :32:23.desperate place and you needed help. This happened over a year... I was

:32:24. > :32:29.in hospital over the course of a few weeks. But over the course of the

:32:30. > :32:32.year, in that period of 2011 it happened six times, when you ended

:32:33. > :32:35.the treatment, did you feel that you were in a better place than you had

:32:36. > :32:39.been previously? No, I was in a much worse place. I had gone in there

:32:40. > :32:44.poorly and extremely vulnerable and I came out far worse. I came out

:32:45. > :32:47.with a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder which is what

:32:48. > :32:52.soldiers get in the battle feel and that persisted. It had, had I

:32:53. > :32:59.received good care and treatment I would have been back in work within

:33:00. > :33:05.months. As it is, five years later, the post-traumatic stress disorder

:33:06. > :33:11.has terrorised and brutalised my life and I'm further away from the

:33:12. > :33:15.jobs market than ever. The measure that staff used to get their way

:33:16. > :33:18.rather than using persuasion and working with me and building

:33:19. > :33:23.therapeutic relationships, that's had a lasting impact. Into how

:33:24. > :33:30.disastrous is that at the hands of the State? Have you had good

:33:31. > :33:34.treatment since? No, I would describe it as a combination of

:33:35. > :33:37.brutalisation followed by neglect. Have you sought treatment? I have.

:33:38. > :33:42.Are you fearful of what happened to you? I have a letter from Norman

:33:43. > :33:46.Lamb after my MP appealed to him when he was minister in Government,

:33:47. > :33:51.to try and get treatment because I was sort of pushed around from

:33:52. > :33:57.pillar to post. From assessment to assessment. There are so many gaps

:33:58. > :34:01.in the mental health system. I have only just now started treatment for

:34:02. > :34:06.the post-traumatic stress disorder and that's five years later, but in

:34:07. > :34:09.the preceding five years I have been sort of deemed a success case

:34:10. > :34:12.because I have been stable on medication and welfare benefits, but

:34:13. > :34:16.that's just being a half life, there has been no attempt to try and help

:34:17. > :34:21.me get back on my feet. I just have been trying and trying and trying,

:34:22. > :34:25.every which way, you know, to the extent of seeing my counsellor and

:34:26. > :34:30.going to see my MP and I got a letter from Norman Lamb, every way

:34:31. > :34:36.that I could. We know the evidence is there that we can do better. This

:34:37. > :34:38.is the outrageous thing, but people suffering mental ill-health

:34:39. > :34:42.experience discrimination. They don't get the same access to

:34:43. > :34:46.treatment as other people do and it is the way money is allocated across

:34:47. > :34:51.the system. They don't have the same right to get treatment on a timely

:34:52. > :34:56.basis and so often the inpatient facilities are full to over flowing,

:34:57. > :35:00.under enormous pressure, it is a neglected area and there is a moral

:35:01. > :35:03.imperative as well as an enormous economic case for change. And this

:35:04. > :35:09.is something you have been talking about? Constantly. Lots of people

:35:10. > :35:17.getting in touch as they always do when we talk about these issues.

:35:18. > :35:25.Nigel says, "Restraint is sometimes necessary." Jay says, "The problem

:35:26. > :35:35.is no one cares for people who are unwell in the head. They close the

:35:36. > :35:39.outpatients and you can't get a community psychiatric nurse." Keeli

:35:40. > :35:44.on Facebook, "I think people need to realise it is taught to be used as a

:35:45. > :35:47.last resort and actually saves some people's lives for example people

:35:48. > :35:51.who are determined to kill themselves or others. If someone is

:35:52. > :35:55.about to take their own life or cause damage to somebody else,

:35:56. > :36:00.intervention is necessary, but in so many cases, it is not necessary. In

:36:01. > :36:03.so many cases it is used as a first resort and that's the problem. Thank

:36:04. > :36:07.you very much, Sarah and Paul and Norman, thank you for coming. Do let

:36:08. > :36:10.us know your thoughts on that as well.

:36:11. > :36:24.New research shows it's increasingly common.

:36:25. > :36:27.We'll be asking if more needs to be done to tackle it.

:36:28. > :36:30.And as voting closes in the Labour leadership election today,

:36:31. > :36:32.some members say they still received their ballot papers.

:36:33. > :36:38.We'll be speaking to some of them just after 9.30am.

:36:39. > :36:43.Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:36:44. > :36:49.A French medical aid agency in Syria says four of its staff were killed

:36:50. > :36:52.and a nurse critically wounded after a night-time air

:36:53. > :36:54.strike hit a clinic in a rebel-held town near Aleppo.

:36:55. > :36:57.The building was completely levelled, and more people are feared

:36:58. > :37:00.The United States has meanwhile said it believes Russia was responsible

:37:01. > :37:04.for the bombing of an aid convoy on Monday which killed 20 people.

:37:05. > :37:08.Russia has expressed outrage at the accusation.

:37:09. > :37:11.This programme has learned that the number of people

:37:12. > :37:14.with mental health problems and learning difficulties who have

:37:15. > :37:16.been physically restrained has increased significantly in the last

:37:17. > :37:18.two years despite a drive by the government to

:37:19. > :37:24.There has also been little change in the use of "face-down" restraint,

:37:25. > :37:28.We spoke to a former patient with bi-polar who was restrained

:37:29. > :37:34.face down on a mental health ward ten months ago about her experience.

:37:35. > :37:42.There was someone pinning my back and someone holding my head and

:37:43. > :37:48.other people holding my arms and legs and I couldn't move. I couldn't

:37:49. > :37:55.breathe. If they can do it to me, who is somebody with no history of

:37:56. > :37:59.violence or aggression or resistance at all, who rarely raises my voice

:38:00. > :38:00.in that sort of situation, who is quiet and withdrawn, then they can

:38:01. > :38:05.do it with anyone. There have been violent protests

:38:06. > :38:07.in the US town of Charlotte in North Carolina after police shot

:38:08. > :38:10.dead a black man who they claimed The police said 12 officers

:40:26. > :40:29.But when you look back, it has been a pretty bruising contest. Remember

:40:30. > :40:33.at the start, there were moves to stop Jeremy Corbyn from even

:40:34. > :40:38.standing in the race. I mean there was an attempt to block him legally

:40:39. > :40:42.and then there were all the sorts of arguments about who could take part

:40:43. > :40:47.in the votement let me take you through who can cast a votement

:40:48. > :40:54.well, there are around 348,000 party members who will get a say. And as

:40:55. > :40:58.well as them, we've got 129,000 so-called registered supporters.

:40:59. > :41:02.Now, they are the sort of people who are not full party members, but they

:41:03. > :41:06.want to take part in the contest so they have to pay a fee of 25 quid.

:41:07. > :41:12.Last time they only had to pay three quid and they backed Jeremy Corbyn.

:41:13. > :41:18.And lastly, we've got 168,000 affiliated supporters. Now they are

:41:19. > :41:22.basically trade unionists who have signed up to take part in the

:41:23. > :41:28.contest. That's 640,000 people, that's more than the entire

:41:29. > :41:33.population of Luxembourg! But some people have been told they can't

:41:34. > :41:36.vote so there has been a cull of a number of supporters and members who

:41:37. > :41:40.are thought to have backed other parties in the past and there are

:41:41. > :41:44.also a number of people who haven't still received ballot papers and I

:41:45. > :41:48.know Joanna, you will be talking to some of those shortly. But the

:41:49. > :41:54.striking thing, it seems to me, about this contest, it is not really

:41:55. > :41:57.about the policies, the differences politically between Jeremy Corbyn

:41:58. > :41:59.and Owen Smith. It is about the personalities in particular, the

:42:00. > :42:04.personality of Jeremy Corbyn, whether you're for him or against

:42:05. > :42:08.him. Because really politically, there is not much between Owen Smith

:42:09. > :42:13.and Jeremy Corbyn. They both want to end austerity. They both want to

:42:14. > :42:16.spend hundreds of billions on trying to revitalise the economy and

:42:17. > :42:20.listening to a statement that Owen Smith put out last night, he sounded

:42:21. > :42:25.almost as if he was conceding defeat. He says, "I'm proud I

:42:26. > :42:28.brought a positive programme for a future Labour Government. I will

:42:29. > :42:34.continue to make the arguments and do all I can to see us back if

:42:35. > :42:38.Government. Jeremy Corbyn meanwhile still enjoying massive rallies. At

:42:39. > :42:43.one of his last rallies, he perhaps announced his most popular policy

:42:44. > :42:48.yet, to nationalise the Great British Bake Off!

:42:49. > :42:52.I also want to say thank you to everyone that's here today and all

:42:53. > :43:01.the great banners that there are here today and I'm really taken by

:43:02. > :43:05.the one nationalise Bake Off! LAUGHTER

:43:06. > :43:11.I think the fate of Bake Off is what happens when the BBC was allowed to

:43:12. > :43:15.contract out its programme making somewhere else and the public lost

:43:16. > :43:24.ownership of Bake Off. Shall we get it back? Yes! There, we have it,

:43:25. > :43:29.bring Mel and Sue back into public ownership. That's the policy to win

:43:30. > :43:33.people around. It sounds good! As Norman was saying, with over two

:43:34. > :43:36.hours or so to go until the polls close, some of the people who had

:43:37. > :43:38.expect to be able to vote in the poll have not had their ballot

:43:39. > :43:43.papers. Joining is on the line

:43:44. > :43:45.are Cristiano Sabiu from Scotland who is currently studying in Korea

:43:46. > :43:56.and Connor French and Scott Berry You didn't get ballot papers, why

:43:57. > :44:03.not? What happened? I have no idea. I have been a member, a full member

:44:04. > :44:07.of the party since February. I had to sign as a registered supporter

:44:08. > :44:10.because I became a member after January which was unfortunate. I

:44:11. > :44:15.thought well it is worth the money to have my say in the election and I

:44:16. > :44:22.still haven't received a ballot paper. What's your situation been?

:44:23. > :44:28.Well, I tried to join at the end of July, there was a stringent two days

:44:29. > :44:34.where new members could join up and pay ?25 and have a vote in the

:44:35. > :44:41.leadership election. I thought everything was fine. There was one

:44:42. > :44:45.issue with locating or finding me on the electoral register which I have

:44:46. > :44:51.an e-mail confirming that was true, that was found and then no news,

:44:52. > :44:57.nothing. No ballot until I called a few days ago and I was informed that

:44:58. > :45:02.they could now not find me or locate me in the electoral register and

:45:03. > :45:06.there was really nothing I could do about it. So that was very

:45:07. > :45:13.frustrating. So you paid ?25 to be able to vote and you can't vote. How

:45:14. > :45:17.do you feel about that? Like I said, it is very frustrating. It seems

:45:18. > :45:24.almost, there are only so many members of the party and you are

:45:25. > :45:28.affiliated members. Surely they can sort through and help us. I mean,

:45:29. > :45:32.we're part of the same party. We want almost exactly the same goals.

:45:33. > :45:36.You would think they would be working tirelessly to make sure

:45:37. > :45:39.everyone is involved in the process and that clearly didn't happen in

:45:40. > :45:44.this case. If you could have been able to vote, who would you have

:45:45. > :45:48.voted for? I was very much supporting Jeremy Corbyn and Diane

:45:49. > :45:52.Abbott's position. Conor, who would you have voted for? The same for me,

:45:53. > :45:56.Jeremy Corbyn, definitely. Do you want your money back? Yes. Yes. I

:45:57. > :46:00.will be doing everything I can to get it back. I don't know whether I

:46:01. > :46:02.will be able to or not, but I'll do the best that I can to get it back.

:46:03. > :46:15.Thank you both very much. Thank you. The Labour Party told us that it has

:46:16. > :46:16.got a robust mechanism in place, to ensure that everybody gets a

:46:17. > :46:30.reissue. Care services in England could be at

:46:31. > :46:31.risk with more than 80,000 workers potentially losing their rights to

:46:32. > :46:37.work here following Brexit. Seven out of ten football fans say

:46:38. > :46:40.they've heard homophobic abuse That's according to new research by

:46:41. > :46:50.the LGBT rights charity Stonewall. It found that fans regularly witness

:46:51. > :46:52.abuse at live events in other sports, although homophobic

:46:53. > :46:54.behaviour was most common The following short film

:46:55. > :46:58.was recorded at one such match - we've obscured the

:46:59. > :47:49.worst of the abuse. Thank you to all of our panel for

:47:50. > :47:52.coming in this morning. Robbie de Santos, why do you think it is that

:47:53. > :47:56.you are likely to hear homophobic abuse at a football match? I think

:47:57. > :48:00.it is across sport. Football is the biggest sport in the country, so the

:48:01. > :48:03.chances are you are likely to hear it there because there are so many

:48:04. > :48:13.people. But really this is a problem across sport. When you go to games,

:48:14. > :48:16.you're likely to hear homophobic, by phobic and transfer the abuse at any

:48:17. > :48:20.point in sport. It is a real problem. Why do you think it is? I

:48:21. > :48:25.think it is a small minority of sports fan is but it is a vocal

:48:26. > :48:31.minority. And what we is to make sure that the silent majority of

:48:32. > :48:35.sports fans, who do not have time for homophobic abuse, feel empowered

:48:36. > :48:39.to do something about it. They feel they can challenge it, whether in

:48:40. > :48:42.the stadium or online channel that there will be some kind of

:48:43. > :48:47.consequence for people who act in this vile way in sport. Sport should

:48:48. > :48:52.be everyone's game, and that's what stone wall is campaigning for. Jamie

:48:53. > :48:56.Feldman, you are a gay football player, have you witnessed this? It

:48:57. > :48:59.is interesting because I would say that it had decreased over the

:49:00. > :49:04.years, until actually this weekend. I was playing in a game when one of

:49:05. > :49:12.our players was lying on the floor, and were told to get up Riise the

:49:13. > :49:16.ground and stop being a poof. The opposition player said it, and on

:49:17. > :49:20.learning that we were a gay team his excuse was, I did not know that's

:49:21. > :49:28.not acceptable. Did anyone say anything? Oh, absolutely. We are a

:49:29. > :49:32.team made up of gay people, straight people, people that we don't know

:49:33. > :49:36.because we don't ask. And so we all protected the player who was on the

:49:37. > :49:39.floor who had been called poof. That's what was most shocking and

:49:40. > :49:44.surprising to me was, another player who then got involved, to say he

:49:45. > :49:48.didn't mean it like that, who was a black player, who I went up to and

:49:49. > :49:54.said, if I called you a derogatory racist comment, would it be the

:49:55. > :50:00.same? His response was, no, it's completely different, that's racism.

:50:01. > :50:03.I also work as a lawyer so I have some background into school and

:50:04. > :50:09.nation. The Equality Act does not place any ranking on characteristics

:50:10. > :50:12.- race, religion, sexual orientation, they are all the same,

:50:13. > :50:17.they should be protected the same way. And I feel that in sports come

:50:18. > :50:23.homophobia has a bit to catch up with racism, we're not quite there

:50:24. > :50:26.yet. Zitta Lomax, you're a member of the Gay Gooners, what have your

:50:27. > :50:32.experiences been in the stadium? The fact that Arsenal are kind of

:50:33. > :50:36.supporting LGBT fans, has that made a difference? Yes, it's made a huge

:50:37. > :50:44.difference. Arsenal were the first team to have a fans' group, and it

:50:45. > :50:48.has made a huge impact. Especially little things like, it was a huge

:50:49. > :50:55.thing, actually, there is a banner ad says Gay Gooners at the stadium

:50:56. > :51:00.now. So when you walk in, as an LGBT fan, you feel much safer and more

:51:01. > :51:03.confident. Arsenal worked very hard with Kick It Out and other

:51:04. > :51:06.organisations to make sure that they are following the Equality Act, as

:51:07. > :51:11.has been said. To make sure that everybody feels safe. Do you still

:51:12. > :51:14.hear abuse? Yes, you still hear language which is used

:51:15. > :51:17.inappropriately. That's the big thing. There was something in the

:51:18. > :51:21.report around young people and their use of language. The charity I work

:51:22. > :51:25.for, Educate And Celebrate, that's our big thing, going into schools

:51:26. > :51:28.and talking to young people about how we use language and

:51:29. > :51:32.understanding language. People still need to have awareness about LGBT

:51:33. > :51:38.and being able to use language appropriately. Lisa Squires, at

:51:39. > :51:41.Charlton Athletic, is there an issue around homophobic abuse? I

:51:42. > :51:45.personally have not witnessed anything at Charlton Athletic.

:51:46. > :51:50.Obviously, we work really hard to make sure that it's important for us

:51:51. > :51:55.that everybody comes in and enjoys the game. So, we want... It's a

:51:56. > :52:00.family environment, we are known as a family football club. We want

:52:01. > :52:06.everybody to feel safe when they come to Charlton Athletic. We have

:52:07. > :52:11.started a scheme and we have been very involved with Gay Gooners,

:52:12. > :52:15.they've helped us to establish that supporters group at Charlton. It's

:52:16. > :52:20.really positive. And we just want to educate people. Replayed that clip

:52:21. > :52:26.of the chanting, the songs that get some other words get changed to

:52:27. > :52:29.offensive language - if that happened at Charlton, what would

:52:30. > :52:34.happen to people caught up in that? It would definitely be investigated.

:52:35. > :52:37.They would get kicked out straightaway what it does it take

:52:38. > :52:44.people around them to point them out? Yes, this has been a big push,

:52:45. > :52:47.particularly Kick It Out now have an app which is very supportive. What's

:52:48. > :52:50.difficult for people, if you're at a match and you see someone being

:52:51. > :52:54.homophobic in front of you, sometimes it can be a bit worrying.

:52:55. > :52:58.You have your steward that you can go to. If you have the confidence,

:52:59. > :53:02.you can do that. Arsenal has been very good at explaining to fans that

:53:03. > :53:06.they can go to the steward. But the great thing about the Kick It Out

:53:07. > :53:09.app is, you can report any kind of just grab the nation and you can

:53:10. > :53:14.send it there and then. And it will get picked up data. Fans have to

:53:15. > :53:19.identify what row that person is sitting in and what number seat, if

:53:20. > :53:23.at all possible. It's much easier for fans to do now. Sometimes people

:53:24. > :53:29.are not confident enough to challenge homophobia if they are

:53:30. > :53:32.seeing it actually happening. I probably would if I was with a

:53:33. > :53:36.friend. Sometimes if you're on your own, people in the heat of the

:53:37. > :53:39.moment. You might not want to go up to them. But they would get taken

:53:40. > :53:47.out of the game straightaway if it could be seen that they were being

:53:48. > :53:51.homophobic or racist or using disk Grenada Will Antwi Joe Arundel it's

:53:52. > :53:53.still the case that there is no openly gay professional footballer

:53:54. > :54:02.in England or Scotland - would it make a difference if anybody came

:54:03. > :54:06.out? We do not know whether there are any, which is a huge issue. But

:54:07. > :54:13.in women's football, a lot of high-profile lesbian women and

:54:14. > :54:16.bisexual, coming out, sending a message that people like us exist.

:54:17. > :54:22.We know that right through sport, there are lesbian and gay and trans

:54:23. > :54:26.people who are great. Role models are so important. But in the absence

:54:27. > :54:32.of that, there's still a huge amount that players can do in the welcoming

:54:33. > :54:34.and accepting of fans. We have got a video which was put together by

:54:35. > :54:46.Arsenal players doing exactly that... I can't change, I look like

:54:47. > :54:52.Lewis Hamilton. I can't change that my hair is perfect. I can't change

:54:53. > :54:56.my head. I can't change that I look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

:54:57. > :55:01.I can't change that I'm gorgeous. But together, we can change the

:55:02. > :55:10.game. Players are lacing up to kick homophobia out of football. Get

:55:11. > :55:13.involved and show your support. That's great, isn't it? Does that

:55:14. > :55:18.sort of thing make a difference? I think it does. It raises awareness.

:55:19. > :55:22.We are in quite a good position in where our team plays, we're based in

:55:23. > :55:27.the Middlesex County, at the grassroots level. One thing that we

:55:28. > :55:30.really wanted to do for the Rainbow Laces campaign this year is,

:55:31. > :55:35.attacked the grassroots level. The grassroots level, with the kids and

:55:36. > :55:39.the players playing football on a Saturday morning and then going to

:55:40. > :55:43.watch their stars on a Saturday afternoon. If we can do something to

:55:44. > :55:49.help raise awareness that there is an issue to do with homophobic, and

:55:50. > :55:54.other kinds of abusing football, and a small things such as wearing a

:55:55. > :55:58.lace, something rainbow laced, which promotes talk about what the issue

:55:59. > :56:05.is, I think it will help. I think it will make it a more welcoming place.

:56:06. > :56:10.So that whoever feels ready to be the first male footballer to come

:56:11. > :56:14.out, professionally, if there is one, will feel comfortable to do so.

:56:15. > :56:21.You said before about when somebody was challenge to for a comment and

:56:22. > :56:26.you said double it is abusive, and you said, how would you feel if it

:56:27. > :56:28.was a racist issue and they saw it differently - do you think people

:56:29. > :56:33.don't think through what they are saying and would try to brush it off

:56:34. > :56:38.as banter? I think it is about education. It is about talking to

:56:39. > :56:42.people. A lot of people do not know about the Equality Act and that you

:56:43. > :56:46.should treat everyone equally and fairly, regardless of

:56:47. > :56:49.characteristics. That's one thing. Without organisation, that's what

:56:50. > :56:54.we're trying to get through to young people. There was part in the report

:56:55. > :56:57.about the banter. But we find that if you work with young people, as

:56:58. > :57:01.soon as they understand the issues, and what the language is, they will

:57:02. > :57:07.change. But it's about having everyone actually challenging the

:57:08. > :57:12.disk post. Education needs to go on from the bottom to the top. Coaches

:57:13. > :57:17.need to know about how they're talking to people. And they need to

:57:18. > :57:20.feel confident. A lot of coaches will not feel confident if one of

:57:21. > :57:24.their young people comes out to them, about dealing with it. So that

:57:25. > :57:29.adds to the homophobia. A lot of it is quite quiet. There is lots of it

:57:30. > :57:37.out there, as you heard at the weekend, but very quiet homophobia,

:57:38. > :57:41.if that makes sense shush overall, we have two clubs here which seem to

:57:42. > :57:45.be dealing with it very well - do you think most clubs are doing that?

:57:46. > :57:49.I think it is a mixed picture. There are a lot of clubs in football and

:57:50. > :57:53.in rugby across the country, and it's hard to see what the full

:57:54. > :57:57.picture is. But in the build-up to November, we've got a big campaign

:57:58. > :58:00.weekend working with the Premier League, the Football Association,

:58:01. > :58:03.Premiership rugby channel we're trying to get as many clubs as

:58:04. > :58:09.possible to take either the first step for the second or the third

:58:10. > :58:12.step, like Arsenal and Manchester United and Charlton, to really make

:58:13. > :58:23.a big display of support for lesbian, gay, bi and trans players

:58:24. > :58:27.and fans. We want everybody to be accepted in sport at all levels. We

:58:28. > :58:31.can't do this without the big clubs, the big leagues and the governing

:58:32. > :58:34.bodies. Really today is the start of the big campaign, and we're looking

:58:35. > :58:38.for everyone to play their part. Thank you all very much. Let us know

:58:39. > :58:58.your thoughts as well. Coming up, the end of Brangelina. I

:58:59. > :59:04.feel like it is the end of an era, so I am dedicating my show tonight

:59:05. > :59:07.to Brangelina! Even though I think private lives should be private. I

:59:08. > :59:17.was shocked when I woke up this morning! We can get the latest

:59:18. > :59:23.weather now. Some fog around across Eastern parts

:59:24. > :59:28.of England but a bit of a change on the way out west, with this cloud

:59:29. > :59:32.coming in from the Atlantic. The rain eventually finding its way into

:59:33. > :59:37.western Scotland. Ahead of that, the odd shower drifting up towards

:59:38. > :59:42.north-west England. Otherwise it's a dry day for most with sunny spells

:59:43. > :59:46.as well. Where you've got the light winds, it is going to feel quite

:59:47. > :59:57.warm, more like late summer than autumn. The rain is away during the

:59:58. > :59:59.course of the evening. Getting into Wales and more central and west

:00:00. > :00:03.parts of England. That's the remnants of it left tomorrow across

:00:04. > :00:10.parts of the Midlands and eastern parts of England. Behind it, a lot

:00:11. > :00:16.of clear skies and feeling quite fresh in the brisk winds.

:00:17. > :00:21.Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us.

:00:22. > :00:24.Four medical staff working for a charity

:00:25. > :00:30.are killed in an attack on a clinic in northern Syria overnight.

:00:31. > :00:35.We'll have the latest on that and on US claims that Russia

:00:36. > :00:38.is responsible for Monday's airstrike on an aid convoy that

:00:39. > :00:40.killed more than 20 people.

:00:41. > :00:43.Are our care services for elderly and disabled people too dependent

:00:44. > :00:47.One charity says we'll lose 80,000 care workers because of Brexit.

:00:48. > :00:50.We'll hear from care home owners and a migrant care worker

:00:51. > :00:55.Brad Pitt says he's very saddened by Angelina Jolie's decision

:00:56. > :01:03.Last night Adele dedicated her New York concert to Brangelina -

:01:04. > :01:21.We'll be getting all the latest reaction from LA.

:01:22. > :01:24.Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:01:25. > :01:30.A French medical aid agency in Syria says four of its staff were killed

:01:31. > :01:32.and a nurse critically wounded after a night-time air

:06:23. > :06:26.and have some downtime? Yeah, I'm really happy to be back. It is a

:06:27. > :06:30.shame it is over because we trained so hard for the four years after

:06:31. > :06:35.London. It was all focus was on Rio and now it is over, it is a low

:06:36. > :06:38.point, but then it is really nice to be touch down and be home and have

:06:39. > :06:42.all the support and see our friends and family and I'm looking forward

:06:43. > :06:47.to going home and having a relaxing time and just yeah, enjoying the

:06:48. > :06:52.success of the Games. And Sarah, congratulations to you as

:06:57. > :07:02.Paralympian, how does that feel and was that one of the drives for you

:07:03. > :07:06.going into the Games to surpass Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson? I'm very much

:07:07. > :07:18.focussed on the events I've got in hand and I had four gold medals to

:07:19. > :07:26.defend from the Games in London. And I'm still coming to terms with being

:07:27. > :07:30.ahead of Tanni. Does it sink in for you at ninth in time or after the

:07:31. > :07:36.plaudits that you won in sport is it another one on the list? Well, it is

:07:37. > :07:39.about winning gold medals and doing your very best performance and the

:07:40. > :07:44.tal whys are something, it feels like someone else keeps a tally of

:07:45. > :07:47.them for me. It wasn't a major motivation, it was something

:07:48. > :07:54.reminded to me a couple of days before the opening ceremony. I was

:07:55. > :07:59.like goodness me, if I don't do it now, massive pressure. Someone else

:08:00. > :08:04.will come along in a few years time. She could be the first one to go

:08:05. > :08:09.beyond Mike Kenny who has 16 gold medals. Ellie, talk to us about the

:08:10. > :08:12.200 meters individual medley, the first person to go under three

:08:13. > :08:16.minutes, a new world record time. Does that make the hard work goes

:08:17. > :08:21.into the Games worth it? For sure, it does. You only see us out on the

:08:22. > :08:26.pool for however long we race for, but all the hard work anded

:08:27. > :08:29.dedication and the 18 hours of swimming in the pool and plus the

:08:30. > :08:34.gym session, it really pays off and this is what we do. We love to, I

:08:35. > :08:38.love to compete. I'm a very competitive person so when it pays

:08:39. > :08:43.off and it goes really well, it is icing on the cake really. Sarah, you

:08:44. > :08:46.have a different thought process for this Games. You have got a young

:08:47. > :08:52.family, what was it like preparing and having that on the side as well?

:08:53. > :08:55.You just kind of adapt to your situations regardless of what they

:08:56. > :09:00.are. To have a little one running around. She was 16 weeks when we

:09:01. > :09:03.went on our first training camp and that was the point when I was

:09:04. > :09:08.thinking if I was going to lose the baby weight. I did my first World

:09:09. > :09:11.Championships when she was nine months old. She travelled the world

:09:12. > :09:16.with me since and with Barney. She is a fit and well little girl and

:09:17. > :09:20.loves her adventures and that gives me a completely different focus when

:09:21. > :09:25.I get off the bike. I can't sit-in my room and worry about the next

:09:26. > :09:30.race because I'm playing with princesses or ponies or reading

:09:31. > :09:36.books. Ellie, you may have seen the words, they went viral of Alex

:09:37. > :09:41.Brooker. Brooker talking about Alex Zanardi. Do you think that's the

:09:42. > :09:44.overall message of the Paralympic Games to inspire, you know, people

:09:45. > :09:50.who may feel down about their disability? Oh yeah, for sure. It is

:09:51. > :09:55.great for Paralympics GB what we have achieved and to keep that

:09:56. > :10:01.legacy continuing from London 2012. We are athletes, we train as hard as

:10:02. > :10:05.the Olympians. For me, I'm smaller than someone a regular height. We

:10:06. > :10:09.just give everything we've got and it is trying to get a positive

:10:10. > :10:13.message and to anyone out there, if they believe they can do it, they

:10:14. > :10:16.canment if you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want to

:10:17. > :10:21.achieve. What's next for both of you? Have you thought about what you

:10:22. > :10:27.will be doing? Will you be going to the next Games? I hope so. I really

:10:28. > :10:31.want to enjoy the success I had from the Games and look forward to a

:10:32. > :10:35.break and be with friends and family and just celebrate it with them.

:10:36. > :10:39.Sarah have you thought about what you will be doing next? You have had

:10:40. > :10:44.a long and successful career, are you going to add to it? I will be

:10:45. > :10:48.deciding when I have a break. There will be a few more races that may

:10:49. > :10:53.happen or may not, once I have a rest, I will look at the numbers and

:10:54. > :10:59.see if I can go faster. My coach thinks I can go faster. He laid down

:11:00. > :11:02.the gauntlet. Do you want to? I would love to be an athlete forever,

:11:03. > :11:07.but sometimes you have to be realistic. Congratulations. Thank

:11:08. > :11:11.you for coming in to join us. Congratulations again. That's all

:11:12. > :11:14.the sport for now. Joanna, we will be back with more after 10.30am. See

:11:15. > :11:19.you then, thank you very much. Reports are coming in from Syria

:11:20. > :11:22.of an air attack on a clinic, with a number of medical workers

:11:23. > :11:25.and at least nine rebel The strike was close

:11:26. > :11:28.to the city of Aleppo. This latest raid appears to have

:11:29. > :11:31.targeted the town of Khan Touman, Meanwhile recriminations continue

:11:32. > :11:35.over the attack on the 31-truck aid Our Correspondent James Longman

:11:36. > :11:57.is in neighbouring Lebanon So James the blame game goes on over

:11:58. > :12:01.the attack on the aid convoy? Absolutely right. The United States

:12:02. > :12:06.has said in no uncertain terms that they believe it was the Russians who

:12:07. > :12:15.were responsible. They have said that they think that two jets took

:12:16. > :12:19.off from a town on the East Coast of, sorry on the West Coast of Syria

:12:20. > :12:23.from a Russian army base. They then tracked them as they travelled over

:12:24. > :12:27.the north of the country and saw them as they dropped the bombs on

:12:28. > :12:32.the convoy and the warehouse which, as you say, killed 20 people. The

:12:33. > :12:37.Russians from their point of view have said they think there was a

:12:38. > :12:43.spontaneous fire. There was no evidence that any munitions were

:12:44. > :12:48.dropped and no explosives and they reject the US claim. I think that it

:12:49. > :12:52.is going to have big implications for Russia if this is proven to be

:12:53. > :12:55.the case. We heard the United Nations say yesterday it would

:12:56. > :13:01.amount to a war crime if it were the case. So if this is Russia and if it

:13:02. > :13:03.can be proven it is Russia then that surely throws enormous doubt on the

:13:04. > :13:07.future of this ceasefire which I have got to say isn't really

:13:08. > :13:12.happening at the moment. No, there was an airstrike at a medical centre

:13:13. > :13:23.near Aleppo, wasn't there? It is not the first time that a medical centre

:13:24. > :13:27.has been hit. No. You're right. This year alone 115 medical workers and

:13:28. > :13:31.volunteers have been killed in Syria attending to the wounded, the

:13:32. > :13:36.critically injured. We understand that this strike hit a clinic and

:13:37. > :13:41.two ambulances and that the clinic was entirely levelled. Four have

:13:42. > :13:46.been killed. A further fifth person is now in intensive care with severe

:13:47. > :13:49.burns. It should be said that what the airstrike was doing was

:13:50. > :13:58.targeting an area which is rebel-held. The group is not backed

:13:59. > :14:01.by the Withes, but it does work in tandem with western-backed groups

:14:02. > :14:05.and that's the issue in Syria. There is a tranche of groups which aren't

:14:06. > :14:10.backed by the West and yet aren't considered extreme enough to be

:14:11. > :14:13.targeted by western coalition aircraft, but they sit-in this

:14:14. > :14:16.category that the Russians and the Syrians have decided are terrorists

:14:17. > :14:21.and that's possibly what happened here. But as I say, we haven't had

:14:22. > :14:23.any confirmation yet over who pedestrian formed that particular

:14:24. > :14:27.airstrike. Of course, the hope had been that

:14:28. > :14:31.the ceasefire, if it had worked, would have enabled aid to get in.

:14:32. > :14:38.What hope is there now of aid getting in? Well, Boris Johnson, the

:14:39. > :14:42.Foreign Secretary, said that this is the last show in town, the only show

:14:43. > :14:46.in town this particular ceasefire agreement. The Russians and the

:14:47. > :14:52.Americans are going to meet this week. We're told on Friday to see if

:14:53. > :14:56.they can salvage this deal. And if they can, there is a possibility

:14:57. > :14:59.that aid can get in, but we saw from the very beginning of the ceasefire

:15:00. > :15:03.that that was just wasn't happening. The Syrians said that because the

:15:04. > :15:06.Americans hadn't managed to get their duck ins a row if you like,

:15:07. > :15:10.hadn't managed to get the opposition on board with the ceasefire, that

:15:11. > :15:14.they weren't going to let aid into the areas that needed it most, there

:15:15. > :15:17.are 600,000 people who live in areas that are totally cut off, another

:15:18. > :15:23.four million people who live in places which are hard to reach, the

:15:24. > :15:26.area which was hit, this convoy attack, that's designated as hard to

:15:27. > :15:31.reach. Finding a way forward on the ceasefire is going to be very

:15:32. > :15:36.difficult and there are some who say these airstrikes on this convoy and

:15:37. > :15:41.also on the eastern part of the country where the Americans

:15:42. > :15:46.accidentally hit Syrian Army personnel, it is all part of a

:15:47. > :15:51.conspiracy that whilst the State Department and the Russian frn

:15:52. > :15:55.ministry want to find some kind of deal, their respective Foreign

:15:56. > :15:58.Ministeries don't, and they are trying to sabotage what maybe a

:15:59. > :16:02.diplomatic solution to this crisis, because they don't want to share

:16:03. > :16:05.information with one another and the Russian and the American military is

:16:06. > :16:09.not happy about sharing intelligence. These issues need to

:16:10. > :16:12.be fleshed out before any aid can get into the country and meanwhile

:16:13. > :16:16.all the tens, hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people wait

:16:17. > :16:18.for food and medical supplies that they really, really do need. Thank

:16:19. > :16:36.you, James. Since May, we have been

:16:37. > :16:39.following the story of the Brain family from Australia,

:16:40. > :16:41.and their battle to stay in the UK. Yesterday the Government announced

:16:42. > :16:45.they will not be deported and have issued a 12-month British residency

:16:46. > :16:49.permit which will allow Kathryn and Greg to work and their son

:16:50. > :16:55.Laughlin to continue They came to Scotland

:16:56. > :17:02.following a drive by the Government encouraging foreign nationals

:17:03. > :17:04.to relocate there in a bid But when the visa they needed

:17:05. > :17:10.was abolished by the Home Office in 2012 they were left

:17:11. > :17:12.in a situation described by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon

:17:13. > :17:14.as absolutely outrageous. They were due to be deported in May

:17:15. > :17:31.and then given a further leave You must be relieved? Very relieved.

:17:32. > :17:34.It's a huge white off our shoulders. We're very grateful for the support

:17:35. > :17:37.we have heard from so many people to get us to this point. Obviously,

:17:38. > :17:41.Edward had been better if we had not had to go through this in the first

:17:42. > :17:45.place we are very relieved that now, as you've said, we are hopeful that

:17:46. > :17:50.when we see the visa, which we have not yet seen ourselves, that we will

:17:51. > :17:54.be able to start work. Kathryn, I have to say, I have not seen you

:17:55. > :17:57.smile like that since this has been unfolding, and we've spoken to you

:17:58. > :18:03.several times - how are you feeling? Related. I said yesterday, I did not

:18:04. > :18:07.realise how tight my stomach has been this last few months yet the

:18:08. > :18:13.weight were carrying on our shoulders since this all started.

:18:14. > :18:17.And yesterday when we got the phone call from the solicitor saying he

:18:18. > :18:20.had just received a phone call from the Home Office saying that the

:18:21. > :18:26.visas had been granted, I did not know weather to laugh or cry. It was

:18:27. > :18:30.just, completely overcome by so many emotions at once. It's just amazing.

:18:31. > :18:38.I just can't wait to get started in the job now. Tell us what it's been

:18:39. > :18:42.like, because you haven't been working, you left the home you had

:18:43. > :18:44.been living in, obviously, you were thinking at several points that you

:18:45. > :18:52.might just have to go on a particular date, but that didn't

:18:53. > :18:55.happen. You have a lot of support, but inside, it's the two of you who

:18:56. > :19:00.were facing your lives changing - how did you cope with that? Indeed,

:19:01. > :19:04.I think the hardest part was trying to keep Laughlin as sheltered as

:19:05. > :19:09.possible from the ugly side of it all. Trying to keep positive for

:19:10. > :19:13.him, to say, we're doing everything we can, everybody was doing

:19:14. > :19:17.everything to make sure that we find a way to stay. Because it was

:19:18. > :19:20.tearing him apart, he would go to school and he was not sure weather

:19:21. > :19:23.he would still be going to school next week to see his friends. And

:19:24. > :19:27.these are people he had grown up with since he was a toddler. They're

:19:28. > :19:32.lifelong friends and I'm sure that's how it will be. That was the hardest

:19:33. > :19:36.part, explaining to Laughlin. He asked a few times, why do we have to

:19:37. > :19:39.keep fighting to stay in our home? That was the hardest part of it.

:19:40. > :19:44.It's still not completely certain for the long-term, is it, Greg Ollie

:19:45. > :19:48.it is a 12 month residency permit, but you're hoping that it will lead

:19:49. > :19:52.to something more permanent? Yes, we've actually not seen it yet. We

:19:53. > :19:55.only had the phone call from the solicitor yesterday saying that he

:19:56. > :19:59.had had a phone call from the Home Office saying that a visa had been

:20:00. > :20:03.approved. We're not sure of the terms and conditions. We understand

:20:04. > :20:06.that we will be going through this again in 12 months' time, but from

:20:07. > :20:11.the much better position that Kathryn will have been working with

:20:12. > :20:14.our hotel for 12 months. I know with previous experience, once an

:20:15. > :20:18.employer realises what they've got, with Kathryn, they don't let go, so

:20:19. > :20:22.we're feeling very confident about our future now! And there is a

:20:23. > :20:27.difference in your demeanour as well. Obviously, you both feel very

:20:28. > :20:33.different now, when you look back at the pressure you've been under? I

:20:34. > :20:36.described this, when this first started in April, and the media

:20:37. > :20:42.attention came to us huddled I described it to Kathryn, I said, I

:20:43. > :20:51.feel like we have to roll five sixes every time. One missed step would

:20:52. > :20:58.mean it is all over. Like we were playing yahtzee. So, to be able to

:20:59. > :21:02.step away from that situation, yes, it's an enormous relief. When you

:21:03. > :21:05.look back come to you feel like you can take something positive from

:21:06. > :21:12.such a difficult experience, is there anything? We do, the amount of

:21:13. > :21:15.support that we had from our village, Dingwall, the Highlands,

:21:16. > :21:23.Scotland, throughout the UK. We've had people with enormous profiles,

:24:39. > :24:43.in Charlotte, joining us from North Carolina. Well, it is reminiscent

:24:44. > :24:50.obviously of several incidents which have unfolded before - just tell us

:24:51. > :24:54.more about the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, which is what has

:24:55. > :24:58.sparked these protests? Right now we are still waiting for more

:24:59. > :25:01.information to come out. Like you guys were saying, the police say he

:25:02. > :25:11.was armed, the family says he was not. Police told us they recovered a

:25:12. > :25:14.gun at the scene. There was a warrant that it was not for him, it

:25:15. > :25:23.was for someone completely different. Keith Lamont Scott was in

:25:24. > :25:26.his car at the time, got out of the car, and police said he posed an

:25:27. > :25:31.immediate, deadly threat. And that's when they shot him. The protests

:25:32. > :25:35.started late in the afternoon on Tuesday and they have been going for

:25:36. > :25:38.about 12 hours now. And the fact that those protests started so

:25:39. > :25:41.quickly after the incident and straights how strongly people feel

:25:42. > :25:47.about what has been going on? It really does. And as I say, it's

:25:48. > :25:52.still going. I just got back to our news station but it's still going. I

:25:53. > :25:56.was on scene for about nine hours. Police told us about eight hours ago

:25:57. > :26:00.they were looking to leave. They thought everything was dying down.

:26:01. > :26:04.But protesters started coming at them in their general direction,

:26:05. > :26:07.getting up in their face. That's when the tear gas came out, that

:26:08. > :26:12.really didn't do anything but make the protesters even more, instead of

:26:13. > :26:16.sending them away to their homes, it's just sent them to different

:26:17. > :26:19.parts of the city. So you had three different groups of protesters

:26:20. > :26:23.within a few hours in different parts of the city, getting more and

:26:24. > :26:27.more angry. And it's taken a while to calm down, but it hasn't stopped.

:26:28. > :26:32.How are the authorities reacting and what are they doing over what can

:26:33. > :26:37.they say and do to try to sarky intentions? It's been tough, it's

:26:38. > :26:39.been really hard to calm these protesters down. A lot of them very

:26:40. > :26:46.angry and emotional. There were certain times, I will take you to a

:26:47. > :26:49.scene - half of a highway was completely shutdown because

:26:50. > :26:52.protesters were making their way onto the interstate here in North

:26:53. > :26:56.Carolina. They had it shot down, they were lighting things on fire in

:26:57. > :26:59.the streets, gathering rocks and bottles, throwing them at cars that

:27:00. > :27:04.were coming in a different direction and it started to get more and more

:27:05. > :27:07.violent, and police were in their riot gear on the side, wondering

:27:08. > :27:10.what to do, trying to come up with some kind of a game plan, because

:27:11. > :27:15.they were completely outnumbered. Had a few dozen police officers and

:27:16. > :27:19.hundreds of protesters at this scene, at that moment. They were

:27:20. > :27:23.getting more and more violent by the minute. It's took them a while to

:27:24. > :27:27.develop a game plan. They were using tear gas, threatening to arrest

:27:28. > :27:32.people, and I think the tear gas did get people away. Right now you have

:27:33. > :27:36.a lot of dispersed groups across Charlotte right now. But a lot of

:27:37. > :27:40.people protesting very loudly. So it remains quite volatile situation?

:27:41. > :27:45.There is actually a rough Walmart superstore here in town that just

:27:46. > :27:51.got looted not too long ago. People were stealing electronics and that

:27:52. > :27:55.store is now boarded up. They have a lot of things in front of the doors,

:27:56. > :27:59.they're completely shutdown and we're not sure if they will open up

:28:00. > :28:00.again tomorrow because people have been raiding that store. Thank you

:32:15. > :32:17.became a criminal offence last year. Our Home Affairs correspondent

:32:18. > :32:28.Danny Shaw is here. Why is it proving to be so difficult

:32:29. > :32:33.for police to actually spot this? I think part of it is because police

:32:34. > :32:37.have some old-fashioned attitudes perhaps, many of them do a deal

:32:38. > :32:41.professionally with domestic violence cases, but some are not

:32:42. > :32:45.attuned to the dynamics of a domestic abuse relationship. When

:32:46. > :32:50.they go to an incident and they can see that someone has been injured or

:32:51. > :32:53.that there are clear signs of violence perhaps, you know, parts of

:32:54. > :32:57.the house have been damaged then it is quite obvious that violence is

:32:58. > :33:02.involved, there could be a domestic abuse incident and clearly, the risk

:33:03. > :33:06.is assessed and dealt with, but where those signs of violence,

:33:07. > :33:11.injury, aren't there, then it is more subtle and it requires an

:33:12. > :33:15.appreciation of perhaps differences in the relationship between the two

:33:16. > :33:21.people involved, the way the victim perhaps is behaving, that they don't

:33:22. > :33:25.spot that there maybe a coercive for controlling relationship taking

:33:26. > :33:30.place and vemp has shown that that can be -- research has shown that

:33:31. > :33:33.can be a trigger factor for serious incidents of domestic violence

:33:34. > :33:36.later. That's why, this research by the College of Policing is showing

:33:37. > :33:41.that police are not spotting these signs and why they have now set-up

:33:42. > :33:46.this pilot scheme involving three forces where officers will be given

:33:47. > :33:50.specific training to spot those signs of coercion and control.

:33:51. > :33:55.Presumably it is difficult to spot something that is potentially very

:33:56. > :33:59.subtle when police go into a house in response it a call. So what does

:34:00. > :34:04.the training involve? What are they being given? Well, I think this will

:34:05. > :34:09.be given specific pointers about what to look out for. This doesn't

:34:10. > :34:15.mean that they go in heavy handed and suddenly they see someone who is

:34:16. > :34:18.clearly rather fragile and they necessarily assume they are the

:34:19. > :34:21.victim of domestic violence, but they have to risk assess these cases

:34:22. > :34:26.and at the moment the evidence is that they are ignoring them. So it

:34:27. > :34:30.is really shifting the emphasis a bit saying OK, there may not be

:34:31. > :34:33.violence or injury involved, but there are psychological factors

:34:34. > :34:37.involved that could be at play which could be just as dangerous in the

:34:38. > :34:41.long run. I think the other issue according to the research that's

:34:42. > :34:45.been done, they are bogged down in processes and paperwork and there is

:34:46. > :34:51.a huge backlog of cases which isn't helping either. And my concern is

:34:52. > :34:56.that this new training is not going to necessarily address that. That

:34:57. > :35:01.problem of workload, one officer says he has 170 cases of potential

:35:02. > :35:05.domestic violence, any of which could lead to a murder, that has to

:35:06. > :35:10.be risk assessed. So I think the problem is, and you're right to say

:35:11. > :35:13.this, that if you add in all the coercive and control potential in

:35:14. > :35:19.cases that could just add to the case load. Has that workload

:35:20. > :35:25.increased since this new offence came in? I don't think it is since

:35:26. > :35:29.the new offence came in. I think it is something with domestic abuse is

:35:30. > :35:33.very much on the agenda in a way it wasn't, 10, 15, 20 years ago,

:35:34. > :35:37.officers are very much more are aware of it and of the need to

:35:38. > :35:41.conduct proper risk assessments because they know what could happen

:37:05. > :37:08.come from the EU and that even a small cut in that workforce

:37:09. > :37:10.could prove highly damaging. Millions of people in Britain depend

:37:11. > :37:17.on Adult Social Care Services to help them stay living in their

:37:18. > :37:24.own homes or residential care. Help includes with eating,

:37:25. > :37:26.drinking, washing and staying clean. Simply, without recruiting

:37:27. > :37:28.from the EU, it's feared there won't be enough people to look

:37:29. > :37:34.after an ageing population. Here's Sangita Myska

:37:35. > :37:44.on a system under strain. This was the night Britain chose to

:37:45. > :37:50.Brexit, cutting migration from the European Union was a key concern for

:37:51. > :37:58.many voters. Including the over 65s, 60% of whom

:37:59. > :38:03.voted out. It is putting the great back into Britain. Instead of

:38:04. > :38:07.English, we will be Great Britain again. According to a report by

:38:08. > :38:13.Independent Age any cut could affect them the most. Our ageing population

:38:14. > :38:17.has complex needs and our adult social care system is facing huge

:38:18. > :38:24.operational and financial pressures. There are currently 1.3 million

:38:25. > :38:28.people working in the sector. Over 80,000 of them are migrants

:38:29. > :38:32.from the European Union. So what has the Government said

:38:33. > :38:36.about their job security? Well, back in July, the Health Secretary,

:38:37. > :38:42.Jeremy Hunt, offered this. We will not end up in a situation where EU

:38:43. > :38:46.nationals, upon whom we depend in the health and social care system

:38:47. > :38:50.and they do an outstanding job, would not be allowed to remain in

:38:51. > :38:53.the UK. The Home Secretary has said she is very confident that we would

:38:54. > :38:58.be able to negotiate a deal where they're able to stay here as long as

:38:59. > :39:03.they wish. Of course, Brexit negotiations haven't even started.

:39:04. > :39:06.And experts say there aren't enough British born care workers to fill

:39:07. > :39:10.the gaps. Care providers say attracting people into the industry

:39:11. > :39:15.is difficult. Shifts are often long and caring can be physically and

:39:16. > :39:20.emotionally demanding. Hands on carers are often paid on or around

:39:21. > :39:28.the national Living Wage, that's ?7.20 an hour. Worse still, staff

:39:29. > :39:32.turnover rates are running at 24%. That means about 300,000 paid carers

:39:33. > :39:37.quit their job every year. With tens of thousands of unfilled

:39:38. > :39:43.vacancies, the pressure on those in work is going up.

:39:44. > :39:47.Today's report says unless pay and conditions improve substantially, in

:39:48. > :39:52.20 years time, we'll have a shortfall of 350,000 workers. They

:39:53. > :39:56.say that means even a small cut in the number of EU workers coming into

:39:57. > :40:05.the industry will put vulnerable older and disabled people at risk.

:40:06. > :40:09.Let's talk now to a panel of people on how they think the industry

:40:10. > :40:11.will cope once we actually leave the European Union.

:41:08. > :41:12.it shows a big impact in the industry. There is more demand that

:41:13. > :41:17.we have from employers in the UK that there is carers to fill the

:41:18. > :41:23.positions with. Is it a minority, a majority? What's the sort of, can

:41:24. > :41:27.you put figures on it? I think we dropped in figures by 25%. Because

:41:28. > :41:32.of the uncertainty? Because of the uncertainty. So Bob, tell us how

:41:33. > :41:37.much you rely on workers from Europe in your home? We're a home care

:41:38. > :41:44.provider, so we support people in their home. We are a newer

:41:45. > :41:50.organisation so our workforce is roughly 80% EU which independent age

:41:51. > :41:53.found was the proportionate of new workers entering social care. And so

:41:54. > :41:57.if there is a reduction in the number of workers wanting to come

:41:58. > :42:03.here from Europe, it could have quite an impact on your business? It

:42:04. > :42:06.could have quite an impact. We have seen a strong impact as well from

:42:07. > :42:10.July. We have seen a decline in applications and it has been more

:42:11. > :42:14.difficult to hire. What does that mean for you? It means we need to

:42:15. > :42:20.figure out a way to adapt. We're trying to figure out how exactly to

:42:21. > :42:25.do that. I think that social care has really two main issues in terms

:42:26. > :42:29.of recruitment, not just recruiting EU nationals, but recruiting locals

:42:30. > :42:38.and that's one, working conditions tend to be poor. We fix that. We pay

:42:39. > :42:42.the London Living Wage and we pay for travel time and we give our

:42:43. > :42:45.workers a guaranteed minimum hours, but the second issue recruiting

:42:46. > :42:50.people into social care is the general image. That's the broader

:42:51. > :42:55.picture. Let's bring in one of your workers from Spain. You have been

:42:56. > :42:59.here for four years. How do you feel about your status here since the

:43:00. > :43:03.Brexit result? Well, the first thing I feel a little bit insecure because

:43:04. > :43:10.after four years I don't know what is going to happen. I'm a little

:43:11. > :43:13.lucky because next year I can ask for dual nationality, but most of my

:43:14. > :43:18.work colleagues, they cannot do that. They don't know what is going

:43:19. > :43:24.to happen in the future. Well, to be honest, nobody knows.

:43:25. > :43:30.Dr Jamie Wilson, you also run a home care service. Bob was saying it is

:43:31. > :43:33.important to adapt sort of looking at the bigger picture, if there are

:43:34. > :43:37.concerns around what Brexit might mean for workers from Europe, are

:43:38. > :43:43.there other issues that companies like yours just need to be looking

:43:44. > :43:47.at? It is a different model of care and we have been very adaptive right

:43:48. > :43:51.from the start in terms of being able to recruit both UK workers and

:43:52. > :43:56.people who were previously in the care something for and the reason

:43:57. > :44:04.for that is because carers earn 50% more than through most agencies so

:44:05. > :44:07.they earn above ?12 an hour and 20% of our current workers are from the

:44:08. > :44:12.EU, but we don't have such a problem in finding the carers, the issue for

:44:13. > :44:17.us really is, you know, finding the quality workers. That's important,

:44:18. > :44:22.but our model has enabled people who were previously working in the care

:44:23. > :44:25.sector, leaving because of the poor working conditions actually coming

:44:26. > :44:29.back to us because they have got better working conditions with this

:44:30. > :44:32.model where they have more continuity with each client, better

:44:33. > :44:37.pay, more freedom to manage their own schedules. So for you, how much

:44:38. > :44:43.of a concern is Brexit? It is a concern in the sense that, I think,

:44:44. > :44:48.once, you know, we leave the EU, then that will potentially reduce

:44:49. > :44:51.the pool of people coming into the UK, but as I say, we're confident

:44:52. > :44:55.there are a large number of people who want to work with our model. For

:44:56. > :45:00.example, we have been running for 18 months and we've, you know, seen

:45:01. > :45:05.8,000 care workers and we have 400 working with us, we're not short of

:45:06. > :45:09.applications. So it is actually a different kind of model and I think

:45:10. > :45:13.the point I would make in this segment is that, the industry in a

:45:14. > :45:17.way needs to change and think about how do we bring really good people

:45:18. > :45:19.back into the sector and one of the ways to do that is to try and find

:45:20. > :45:35.ways to increase their pay. Daniel Kawczynski, how do you see

:45:36. > :45:41.this, because the negotiations have not even started? First of all, I

:45:42. > :45:43.have seen in my constituency Shrewsbury the extraordinary kills

:45:44. > :45:48.unprofessionalism and caring that certain Polish and other immigrants

:45:49. > :45:53.from Europe have given to residents of care homes in my constituency.

:45:54. > :45:57.But ultimately, immigration was the number one issue at the last general

:45:58. > :46:03.election, and with net migration to this country of over 350,000 a year,

:46:04. > :46:06.the British people expect, and they've expressed this very loudly

:46:07. > :46:12.and clearly, they expect us to manage the immigration system. And

:46:13. > :46:16.that is what we have to do in a post-Brexit era. Of course, people

:46:17. > :46:20.with high skills that are in shortages in the United Kingdom,

:46:21. > :46:23.they will be able to apply for work permits, like people do at the

:46:24. > :46:28.moment from outside the European Union. We also have a very skilled

:46:29. > :46:32.workers coming from the Philippines and from places like Nigeria. Just

:46:33. > :46:37.to be specific, then, would you see care workers as being key in that

:46:38. > :46:42.context? I think it's extremely important that we ensure that more

:46:43. > :46:47.people and more British nationals within our own country are motivated

:46:48. > :46:57.to work in this very important sector. But ultimately, if is in

:46:58. > :47:01.shortages, and a certain organisation or group of care homes

:47:02. > :47:05.can prove that they can only recruit from overseas, of course, those

:47:06. > :47:09.people wanting to recruit will be able to put in their work permits.

:47:10. > :47:12.But please, let's not forget, this is a very important issue and your

:47:13. > :47:18.other commentators have obviously skirted over this issue - we have to

:47:19. > :47:22.demonstrate to the British people that we can control our own borders

:47:23. > :47:26.and that we can make sure that immigration works for the benefit of

:47:27. > :47:32.the United Kingdom. It must be properly managed. So, Bob Padron,

:47:33. > :47:36.respond to that, why not turn to more British workers within your

:47:37. > :47:40.model? I am absolutely keen to turn to whoever wants to work in social

:47:41. > :47:47.care, whoever has a vocation to take care of our most vulnerable. But as

:47:48. > :47:51.the MP said, if there is a shortage of domestic workers, who do need to

:47:52. > :47:55.find people willing to work. And of course, if they want to come from

:47:56. > :48:01.the EU from elsewhere, that's good. But you said earlier that you have

:48:02. > :48:05.to adapt - do you think it's possible to make up the shortfall

:48:06. > :48:10.with British workers? What is your experience in trying to find British

:48:11. > :48:14.workers? Well, it comes again back to the image problem. I have a

:48:15. > :48:18.recent case where we are very close to hiring a new worker who was

:48:19. > :48:22.British, and she seemed very excited to come and work for us, but then,

:48:23. > :48:27.shortly before she was Curnow apply to us, she told me she spoke to her

:48:28. > :48:30.mother and she told me that her mother said, this does not look

:48:31. > :48:35.good, you should not be doing this, you should do something else. So

:48:36. > :48:39.it's not just about the working conditions, we also need to work on

:48:40. > :48:45.attracting anyone, British or not. Daniel Kawczynski, timber sometimes

:48:46. > :48:50.British workers do not want to do the work that others are prepared to

:48:51. > :48:55.do? Obviously, more needs to be done in order to encourage people to join

:48:56. > :48:58.and work in this sector. But can I make a point which is important? I

:48:59. > :49:03.could take you now to towns and cities in Poland, and also in

:49:04. > :49:08.Romania, where they are starting to feel the real impact as a result of

:49:09. > :49:13.this brain drain of highly skilled and educated workers coming over. So

:49:14. > :49:18.although we are plugging our own shortfall, and there is the lady you

:49:19. > :49:22.interviewed whose company is recruiting remain young care workers

:49:23. > :49:28.to come and work in the United Kingdom, what about the care homes

:49:29. > :49:32.in Romania? And who is actually fulfilling shortages that they have?

:49:33. > :49:35.It is highly irresponsible to be dealing with our own problems by

:49:36. > :49:38.then pushing the problem further down the line to our neighbours in

:49:39. > :49:44.Europe. We are right out of time, I'm afraid. Thank you all very much.

:49:45. > :49:50.No doubt we will talk about this again.

:49:51. > :49:54.A spokesperson from the newly-formed Department For Exiting

:49:55. > :50:10.One of the world's most famous couples on the world -

:50:11. > :50:12.Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - are splitting up after

:50:13. > :50:17.Angelina Jolie's lawyer confirmed yesterday that she has filed

:50:18. > :50:20.for divorce for what she says is "the health of the family".

:50:21. > :50:23.Brad Pitt says he's "very saddened" by the decision and has asked

:50:24. > :50:25.for privacy for their six children at this difficult time.

:50:26. > :50:28.This how the media and fans in the US have been

:50:29. > :50:33.After 12 years together and six children, Angelina Jolie is filing

:50:34. > :50:39.for divorce from Brad Pitt. You might want to sit down - Brad and

:50:40. > :50:44.Angelina are divorcing. It's true. Angelina Jolie filed the paperwork

:50:45. > :50:48.on Monday. They stood the test of time in terms of Hollywood time,

:50:49. > :50:52.together for 12 years. I think that even though initially maybe people

:50:53. > :50:58.have their questions, who they built this beautiful family. I'm really

:50:59. > :51:04.upset, I really wish that Brad and Angelina were together for ever as a

:51:05. > :51:07.couple. I really am sad about it. Surprised but not surprised. I

:51:08. > :51:11.thought they would be together longer.

:51:12. > :51:13.The singer Adele even dedicated a concert

:51:14. > :51:16.in New York's Madison Square Gardens yesterday to Brad Pitt

:51:17. > :51:18.and Angelina Jolie, telling fans she was shocked when she heard

:51:19. > :51:20.the news that the couple are filing for divorce.

:51:21. > :51:27.Private lives should be private but I feel it is the end of an era. I'm

:51:28. > :51:37.dedicating this show tonight to them...

:51:38. > :51:45.And we have some breaking news to bring you on this. Madame Tussaud's

:51:46. > :51:50.has tweeted about it, saying, we can confirm that we have separated Brad

:51:51. > :51:53.Pitt and Angelina Jolie's figures. There you go, evidence that that has

:51:54. > :51:59.been done! A short time ago, I spoke to our show is reporter in Los

:52:00. > :52:02.Angeles. He has interviewed both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on many

:52:03. > :52:06.occasions. He told me how Hollywood is reacting to the news. Just a

:52:07. > :52:10.warning, this does contain flash photography. This is the biggest

:52:11. > :52:15.divorce of all time, and yes, I suspected there was trouble in

:52:16. > :52:18.Paradise, because they are so frequently photographed that Brad

:52:19. > :52:22.and Angelina had not been seen together in public since July, when

:52:23. > :52:25.they took their six children for breakfast at a Hollywood restaurant.

:52:26. > :52:29.And normally when they're out of the public eye so long, you do wonder if

:52:30. > :52:33.something is going wrong. But when this kit, it hits like a bombshell.

:52:34. > :52:38.It did, and that because of the information that has come out right

:52:39. > :52:44.from the start to diverge is this going to play out in public in the

:52:45. > :52:48.same sort of way? They are two beautiful people, and this is a very

:52:49. > :52:53.ugly battle. Team Angelina has fired the first shots in this war and is

:52:54. > :52:56.definitely winning. Take a look at any tabloid newspaper today, you

:52:57. > :53:02.will see its very, very anti-Brad, who almost supporting Angelina's

:53:03. > :53:06.assertion in the legal papers. She's taken a very unusual step of asking

:53:07. > :53:10.for sole custody. That does not often happen in Hollywood splits.

:53:11. > :53:14.Normally that's only when you can portray the father as a bad dad, to

:53:15. > :53:20.say that the children are somehow in danger from before the. And Brad

:53:21. > :53:24.Pitt, said by sources to be spitting mad at these allegations and ready

:53:25. > :53:27.to defend himself in court. Does it have to play out in public? We saw

:53:28. > :53:36.what happened with Johnny Depp and his high-profile split. We saw

:53:37. > :53:40.Madonna Madonna with custody of her child. Can they keep it completely

:53:41. > :53:46.quiet if they want to? They can. It is all a legal tactic. Angelina has

:53:47. > :53:49.hired probably the number one celebrity divorce lawyer in

:53:50. > :53:52.Hollywood at the moment. You mentioned Johnny Depp. She was also

:53:53. > :53:58.a representative in that case. And in that case, we had so many lurid

:53:59. > :54:03.details of the start, and then there was a very quick settlement and it

:54:04. > :54:06.all went away. So perhaps this is a tactic, and they are playing from

:54:07. > :54:11.the same playbook. So effectively it becomes a PR war? It does. It's one

:54:12. > :54:16.that Brad Pitt is losing. He did issue a statement which was pretty

:54:17. > :54:22.neutral, saying that it's obviously a very sad time, and asking for

:54:23. > :54:27.privacy. He must secretly be thinking, what the hell is going on?

:54:28. > :54:30.You've met them both - tell us what you think about them, having

:54:31. > :54:35.interviewed them over the years? I have interviewed them both, I love

:54:36. > :54:39.them both. I'm very much on Team Angelina, as you see from the

:54:40. > :54:42.pictures behind me. She's great. When you meet her, she's got a

:54:43. > :54:47.fantastic sense of humour. Brad Pitt also very good company. Really a

:54:48. > :54:53.shame that they couldn't make it work. They really couldn't. This is

:54:54. > :54:59.obviously about the vision of the children, but it's also about the

:55:00. > :55:03.assets. They are the richest couple in showbiz history, worth $400

:55:04. > :55:09.million between them. He's worth slightly more than her because of

:55:10. > :55:13.his production company, and also his producing free as well as acting

:55:14. > :55:19.fee. They've got many houses across the world, including west London and

:55:20. > :55:24.the chateau in France. That comes with a winery - I'll have that if

:55:25. > :55:26.they don't need it! But Angelina, whenever I've interviewed her, she

:55:27. > :55:30.has always mentioned the children within the first 60 seconds. And

:55:31. > :55:35.certainly if you take a look away from the newspapers and into the

:55:36. > :55:39.legal papers, she's made this all about the welfare of the kids.

:55:40. > :55:45.Hollywood is a small town - how are people seeing it? They are seeing it

:55:46. > :55:50.as yet another showbiz statistic. But so few Hollywood marriages work

:55:51. > :55:56.out. But yet they had been together for 12 years. That's like 50 in

:55:57. > :56:01.human terms. A-lister is can never usually make it work. I have a

:56:02. > :56:03.theory on that - it's because they are so indulged and surrounded by

:56:04. > :56:06.people who tell them there so fantastic that they cannot

:56:07. > :56:10.compromise in relationships like the rest of us do. A-listers would never

:56:11. > :56:15.say I'm wrong when they think they are right. And usually the first

:56:16. > :56:20.sign of an argument, they are of two the divorce courts. As a showbiz

:56:21. > :56:23.reporter, I would love a statement coming from Jennifer Aniston saying,

:56:24. > :56:28.I told you so! But so far she has taken the high ground and maintained

:56:29. > :56:31.a dignified silence. But a lot of people are taking the opportunity to

:56:32. > :56:37.put some means out there? They certainly are. People speculating

:56:38. > :56:40.that somewhere, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are sharing a

:56:41. > :56:48.margarita today and laughing about all of this just Jennifer Aniston's

:56:49. > :56:52.reputation in the public eye was that Brad had moved on from her two

:56:53. > :56:57.Angelina. Of course they played a couple in Mr And Mrs Smith, and

:56:58. > :57:07.their romantic mystery on screen was duplicated off-screen. It would be

:57:08. > :57:12.interesting to see what her opinion is of all of this. Can you get her

:57:13. > :57:21.on the show? I'd love to. Any of the three of them, we'd take them! That

:57:22. > :57:27.spring you a few more of your comments on restraint in mental

:57:28. > :57:31.health units. No-one is saying restraint is not appropriate to stop

:57:32. > :57:34.violence, but we're talking about inappropriate use in non-violent

:57:35. > :57:39.cases where the patient has posed no risk. Prone restraint is unsafe.

:57:40. > :57:42.Nursing staff defending these practices should be ashamed of

:57:43. > :57:46.themselves. It is nothing to do with nursing. This one - some of the

:57:47. > :57:51.things I have seen and endured at the hands of mental health staff can

:57:52. > :57:57.only be described as horrific. Anonymous text - I myself nearly had

:57:58. > :58:01.my arms broken when being restrained for not going to bed. Some of them

:58:02. > :58:06.are purely bullies and once in their care, aspect goes out of the window.
