:00:07. > :00:09.Hello it's Monday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

:00:10. > :00:15.This morning, children living with facial disfigurements tell us

:00:16. > :00:20.about the bullying they're subjected to.

:00:21. > :00:26.I wasn't pretty enough to be in their group, they didn't want to be

:00:27. > :00:31.friends with me because I was wet, I looked different and didn't match

:00:32. > :00:36.them. They left me and isolated me. -- I was weird.

:00:37. > :00:39.One child was told "I'd kill myself if I looked like you" -

:00:40. > :00:41.we'll get reaction and ask if schools should do

:00:42. > :00:43.more to educate children about facial disfigurements.

:00:44. > :00:46.Also on the programme, as seven football clubs are linked

:00:47. > :00:49.to allegations of historical child sex abuse, we ask mums and dads

:00:50. > :00:51.watching their children play football in one junior

:00:52. > :00:54.league their reaction to the revelations.

:00:55. > :01:00.Very sad to think that you leave your children with someone you

:01:01. > :01:05.trust, and they are taken advantage of. It's just dreadful, absolutely

:01:06. > :01:12.dreadful. Their childhood has been taken away.

:01:13. > :01:15.And - they're out, no more of this year's novelty acts

:01:16. > :01:32.When I say honey, you say G. When I say honey, you say G.

:01:33. > :01:54.Hello, welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

:01:55. > :01:56.Throughout the programme, we'll bring you the latest breaking news

:01:57. > :02:01.And we're really keen to hear your views

:02:02. > :02:07.on all the stories we're talking about.

:02:08. > :02:11.After 10.30 we'll be discussing IVF -

:02:12. > :02:14.a new study suggests almost none of the costly "add on" treatments

:02:15. > :02:17.offered by fertility clinics to boost success rates are backed up

:02:18. > :02:22.by scientific evidence proving that they actually work.

:02:23. > :02:25.If you've used them, do get in touch to share your experiences -

:02:26. > :02:28.use the hashtag #victorialive and if you text, you will be charged

:02:29. > :02:33.Our top story this morning - another legal challenge over Brexit.

:02:34. > :02:36.Pro-EU campaigners are seeking support from judges

:02:37. > :02:41.for their argument that Britain has to take separate action to leave

:02:42. > :02:44.the European Economic Area, known as the EEA, which gives us

:02:45. > :02:46.access to the single market and allows the free movement

:02:47. > :02:53.They say the UK will not leave that automatically when it leaves

:02:54. > :02:56.the European Union, and it should be up to MPs to decide.

:02:57. > :02:59.But the government says membership of the EEA ends

:03:00. > :03:16.I really hope you are following this. If not, we have got Norman.

:03:17. > :03:19.Start from the beginning. It is complicated, but the topline is the

:03:20. > :03:24.country is facing a potential double legal whammy over Brexit. Ministers

:03:25. > :03:31.are already facing a challenge in the courts to trigger Article 50, to

:03:32. > :03:37.leave the EU. Now some legal eagles have come up with a second challenge

:03:38. > :03:42.about leaving the single market. What it all boils down to is we are

:03:43. > :03:48.members of the single market for two reasons. One, we are in the EU, but

:03:49. > :03:52.we also in this other thing, the European economic area. And the

:03:53. > :03:56.argument of the legal eagles is we may leave the EU but we will still

:03:57. > :04:00.be in the European economic area, so we will still be in the single

:04:01. > :04:05.market. So they are now watching a legal challenge to say, in effect,

:04:06. > :04:09.if we are going to leave single market, the EEA, it is going to have

:04:10. > :04:14.to be approved by parliament. Almost a mirror image copy over the

:04:15. > :04:18.challenge of Article 50. Why this matters is the danger of the

:04:19. > :04:22.government sinking into a legal quagmire, dragging on for months and

:04:23. > :04:27.months. And there is one other issue. If we stay in the single

:04:28. > :04:33.market, then we will have to allow free movement. In other words, it

:04:34. > :04:38.will put the kibosh on Mrs May's attempt to curb migration from the

:04:39. > :04:44.EU into Britain. So potentially this could matter big-time. Understood.

:04:45. > :04:49.The Polish Prime Minister is in town meeting Theresa May. What can we

:04:50. > :04:54.expect? It is symbolic, a big Fandango of a meeting, they have

:04:55. > :04:57.come over with a whole load of Cameron ministers, meeting our

:04:58. > :05:02.Cabinet Ministers and it is designed to send a message. The message is

:05:03. > :05:07.that we are still going to be friends with other countries. -- a

:05:08. > :05:12.whole load of Cabinet Ministers. So we can still have good relationships

:05:13. > :05:17.with other EU countries. There is a second part to it. We are going to

:05:18. > :05:21.agree to send some of our soldiers to the Polish border. A lot of

:05:22. > :05:25.people suspect we are giving them a nudge and a wink, saying, you know

:05:26. > :05:29.what, we're going to give you some troops, maybe you can cut us a deal

:05:30. > :05:32.when it comes to Brexit. There is a suspicion that that is what today's

:05:33. > :05:35.talks are about. Joanna Gosling is in the BBC

:05:36. > :05:38.Newsroom with a summary The people of France have a clearer

:05:39. > :05:42.idea of who could be their next President

:05:43. > :05:44.after Francois Fillon was overwhelmingly chosen

:05:45. > :05:46.to represent the main centre-right Mr Fillon, a former prime minister

:05:47. > :05:50.under President Nicolas Sarkozy, told supporters he understood

:05:51. > :05:53.the gravity of the crisis facing France, promising what he calls

:05:54. > :05:55.a complete change to He will stand in April

:05:56. > :06:00.against a Socialist candidate that hasn't yet been

:06:01. > :06:02.selected and Marine Le Pen, US President-elect Donald Trump has

:06:03. > :06:07.claimed that millions of people voted illegally

:06:08. > :06:12.in the country's recent elections. In a tweet, Mr Trump said

:06:13. > :06:15.he would have won the popular vote ahead of his Democratic rival

:06:16. > :06:17.Hillary Clinton if those He offered no evidence

:06:18. > :06:23.to back up his claim. Mrs Clinton gained about two million

:06:24. > :06:26.votes more across the country as a whole, but Mr Trump secured

:06:27. > :06:28.the all-important electoral college Fighting has been continuing

:06:29. > :06:36.in several districts of eastern Aleppo, as the Syrian army

:06:37. > :06:38.and their allies continue their major offensive to retake

:06:39. > :06:41.control of the city. Pro-government forces are seeking

:06:42. > :06:44.to split the rebel-held zone Activists say several

:06:45. > :06:50.thousand civilians have fled since Saturday,

:06:51. > :06:52.both to government and other A record number of inmates have

:06:53. > :06:58.taken their own lives in prisons in England and Wales

:06:59. > :07:01.so far this year. Researchers for The Howard League

:07:02. > :07:03.for Penal Reform, say suicides have The Ministry of Justice has already

:07:04. > :07:08.pledged extra officers and special A new study suggests that almost

:07:09. > :07:14.none of the so-called "add on" treatments offered by fertility

:07:15. > :07:17.clinics to boost IVF success rates are backed up

:07:18. > :07:20.by scientific evidence. The research was commissioned

:07:21. > :07:22.by the BBC's Panorama programme, and is also published

:07:23. > :07:25.in the British Medical Journal. It found that of the 27 different

:07:26. > :07:28.treatments examined, only one was supported by even

:07:29. > :07:31.moderate evidence that it could increase the chances

:07:32. > :07:39.of having a baby. The extra procedures

:07:40. > :07:41.can cost up to ?3,500 Fertility problems affect about one

:07:42. > :07:47.in seven couples in the UK and treatment when not funded

:07:48. > :07:49.by the NHS may run into tens Even reputable fertility clinics

:07:50. > :07:55.offer a wide range of additional treatments designed to improve

:07:56. > :07:58.the chances of IVF working and these Embryos are put in special devices,

:07:59. > :08:02.there are additional But Panorama, which worked

:08:03. > :08:07.with the University of Oxford, found nearly every enhancement

:08:08. > :08:10.examined lacked high-quality evidence to show it made the process

:08:11. > :08:12.any more likely to result Some of these treatments are of no

:08:13. > :08:22.benefit to you whatsoever and some I can't understand how this has been

:08:23. > :08:26.allowed to happen in the UK. Jessica Hepburn spent ?70,000 on 11

:08:27. > :08:29.failed attempts and now campaigns These are doctors, we believe

:08:30. > :08:35.what doctors tell us. And this is a doctor that

:08:36. > :08:39.holds my happiness in his hands. The fertility regulator says it only

:08:40. > :08:41.has limited powers to prevent the add-ons being sold

:08:42. > :08:45.or to control pricing. But it does publish information

:08:46. > :08:48.about treatments so people can But the concern is patients face

:08:49. > :08:53.costly decisions when they're desperate for success and they may

:08:54. > :08:58.be of no benefit. The UK Independence Party

:08:59. > :09:00.will announce its new leader Nigel Farage has been holding

:09:01. > :09:05.the reins as interim leader since his successor,

:09:06. > :09:07.Diane James, stepped down after less The three candidates are the former

:09:08. > :09:14.deputy leader Paul Nuttall, former deputy chairman Suzanne Evans

:09:15. > :09:21.and party activist John Rees-Evans. The announcement will be live

:09:22. > :09:24.on the BBC News channel at 11.45. The families of some of the victims

:09:25. > :09:27.of the Birmingham pub bombings will use a hearing later to ask

:09:28. > :09:29.for financial help 21 people were killed in the blasts

:09:30. > :09:35.in November 1974. Six men were initially found guilty

:09:36. > :09:37.but their convictions Inquests into the deaths are due

:09:38. > :09:43.to reopen next year, with families seeking government

:09:44. > :09:45.support similar to the funding There are calls for more to be done

:09:46. > :09:51.to tackle discrimination of people A leading charity has told this

:09:52. > :09:57.programme that discrimination could even be worse than other

:09:58. > :09:59.forms, including racism, as very There are now calls to roll out

:10:00. > :10:05.an education programme across schools to promote

:10:06. > :10:09.what they call Face Equality. We'll be meeting children who've

:10:10. > :10:13.faced their own struggles with facial disfigurement

:10:14. > :10:33.in a special report at 9.15am. Ed Balls has left Strictly Come

:10:34. > :10:36.Dancing. He was a surprise star of the series, entertaining fans with

:10:37. > :10:40.memorable moves despite being bottom of the scoreboard. But this week,

:10:41. > :10:44.the public vote failed to save him and his partner.

:10:45. > :10:47.If people watching have had half the fun I've had learning to dance

:10:48. > :10:50.with Katya then they must have had a complete blast because it's

:10:51. > :10:53.The judges, all the supporters, the make-up team, the wardrobe,

:10:54. > :10:56.in particular that band are the best in the world.

:10:57. > :11:12.Some comments from you on facial discrimination. Suzanne: children

:11:13. > :11:16.should not experienced name-calling or worse just because they are

:11:17. > :11:20.different. Susan: when you have anything different, someone will

:11:21. > :11:24.always want to use it to hurt you. What satisfaction they get, who

:11:25. > :11:27.knows? Some people are ignorant and nasty. Still today people will sit

:11:28. > :11:33.there and make comments, even if they don't know you? Why? Marion: we

:11:34. > :11:37.are too preoccupied with looks and this needs stamping out. Good on you

:11:38. > :11:38.for highlighting it. The film is coming up in the next couple of

:11:39. > :11:50.minutes. Now some sport. Lewis Hamilton won

:11:51. > :11:54.the final Formula 1 race of the season but his team-mate Nico

:11:55. > :11:54.Rosberg won the Drivers' Championship, although team-mates, I

:11:55. > :12:06.use the word loosely! It has been a fascinating battle in

:12:07. > :12:09.the second half of the season. They drive for Mercedes but it has been a

:12:10. > :12:13.fractious friendship, if you can even call it friendship. The final

:12:14. > :12:19.race was in Abu Dhabi and Hamilton had to win the race and he needed

:12:20. > :12:24.Nico Rosberg to finish in fourth all over, so Hamilton on pole was

:12:25. > :12:28.deliberately driving slowly in an attempt to push Nico Rosberg into

:12:29. > :12:32.the other drivers behind him. Hamilton was repeatedly told by his

:12:33. > :12:39.team to speed up. He told them, let us race. It has been described as

:12:40. > :12:43.dirty tactics. It didn't quite work. Nico Rosberg, celebrating becoming

:12:44. > :12:48.world champion for the first time in his career. Something his father did

:12:49. > :12:55.in 1982. Hamilton is the one people were talking about. This is Rosberg

:12:56. > :13:00.celebrating by doing doughnuts. It certainly meant a dramatic final

:13:01. > :13:06.race of the season. Rosberg winning by five points in the end. Jose

:13:07. > :13:11.Mourinho is in trouble again. He's like a little boy, isn't he? You

:13:12. > :13:15.could say that. He was sent to the stands by the referee for the second

:13:16. > :13:19.time in two months, this time in the 1-1 draw against West Ham. He was

:13:20. > :13:25.annoyed by a yellow card given to Paul Pogba, as the referee felt that

:13:26. > :13:30.he dived. Kicking a water bottle. That got him sent to the stands by

:13:31. > :13:34.John Moss, the referee. He was also dismissed last month by a different

:13:35. > :13:40.referee and he was banned and find after the match against Burnley. The

:13:41. > :13:44.yellow card means Paul Pogba is suspended for the League Cup

:13:45. > :13:48.quarterfinal against West Ham, the team they were playing yesterday.

:13:49. > :13:54.Manchester United, 11 points behind the league leaders Chelsea.

:13:55. > :13:59.Frustration all round. Finally tennis, a moment of compassion in a

:14:00. > :14:04.hard-fought Davis Cup match. If you think Andy Murray is emotional,

:14:05. > :14:09.watch on Martin del Potro. Great Britain won the Davis Cup last year.

:14:10. > :14:14.This time it was Argentina against Croatia, and the Argentina fans are

:14:15. > :14:18.extraordinarily passionate. It was like being at a football match, del

:14:19. > :14:22.Potro in the Olympics. The fans are so noisy, they don't abide by the

:14:23. > :14:29.rules. Among the passion, Marin Cilic's serves, he hit a ball girl

:14:30. > :14:34.and del Potro stopped the match to make sure she was OK. This was an

:14:35. > :14:41.important match, the reverse singles, Argentina were 3-1 down by

:14:42. > :14:45.this point. She is crying. Del Potro asks for a replacement to be brought

:14:46. > :14:51.on. You can see the fans really enjoying the situation. She goes

:14:52. > :14:55.off, and actually del Potro goes on to win the match. Argentina went on

:14:56. > :14:59.to win the Davis Cup for the first time in their history, 3-2 against

:15:00. > :15:03.Croatia. The fans loved it and there was also a special Argentine there,

:15:04. > :15:08.Maradona enjoyed the occasion. He went a bit bonkers at some of the

:15:09. > :15:14.points. Argentina winning the Davis Cup. You can see him there.

:15:15. > :15:17.Argentina win the Davis Cup for the first time.

:15:18. > :15:22."I'd kill myself if I had a face like yours."

:15:23. > :15:24.What one young boy with facial disfigurements was told.

:15:25. > :15:27.This morning we're going to be looking at the kind of abuse

:15:28. > :15:35.The UK's leading charity on facial abnormalities, Changing Faces,

:15:36. > :15:37.has told this programme face discrimination could even be worse

:15:38. > :15:40.than other forms, like racism, because very little is being done

:15:41. > :15:44.They want to roll out an education programme across schools nationally

:15:45. > :15:51.Our reporter Ashley John-Baptiste has been to meet children who've

:15:52. > :16:04.faced their own private struggles just because of their faces.

:16:05. > :16:09.The twin who doesn't look like the other.

:16:10. > :16:12.We can hear what people say and we can see that they are looking

:16:13. > :16:22.When I walk into town, I get stared at a lot.

:16:23. > :16:35.One guy said that I would be way hotter if I didn't have

:16:36. > :16:37.facial palsy and he would date me if I didn't.

:16:38. > :16:38.Different stories, but similar experiences.

:16:39. > :16:41.We are going to meet the children who are stared at, laughed at,

:16:42. > :16:52.We want to know how they and their families cope.

:16:53. > :16:54.It's like a grieving process, you haven't had the child that

:16:55. > :17:03.And we are testing whether the ground-breaking face pulling

:17:04. > :17:05.lessons are changing the way that children think.

:17:06. > :17:18.I want to see the world through the eyes of children that

:17:19. > :17:30.Billy's family have struggled to even take him out in public.

:17:31. > :17:33.At times it can be soul destroying, it really can because as a parent

:17:34. > :17:59.So you can see that his head is not a normal shape.

:18:00. > :18:08.He is a twin and he was born with a syndrome.

:18:09. > :18:11.All of this part here around his nose.

:18:12. > :18:19.The paediatric registrar didn't even refer to Billy as a baby,

:18:20. > :18:24.he just said, "I have never seen anything like it before".

:18:25. > :18:35.You have had kids who have seen Billy and have started crying.

:18:36. > :18:36.Not just crying, hysterically crying.

:18:37. > :18:39.Because they are scared of him and they think

:18:40. > :18:42.Billy is still really young, he is nine years old.

:18:43. > :18:50.Massively, because there is so much prejudice with

:18:51. > :19:05.He would just say, "Why is that boy staring at me or pointing at me?"

:19:06. > :19:08.You don't want to keep saying to him, well, your face

:19:09. > :19:11.is different, that is why they are looking at you all

:19:12. > :19:24.Marcus' disfigurement is just skin deep.

:19:25. > :19:26.He is 12 and he is a talented trampolinist.

:19:27. > :19:33.But he was born with a cleft, a gap in his face.

:19:34. > :19:43.In reception, I was the boy with a face.

:19:44. > :19:46.I was actually bullied because of the way that your face looks?

:19:47. > :19:48.Yes, some people have called me Scarface.

:19:49. > :19:51.One time, I was ten, someone came up to me and said,

:19:52. > :19:53.if they looks like me, they would kill themselves.

:19:54. > :19:56.After when I came home I just burst into tears.

:19:57. > :20:02.I thought right I think I need to go to school and sort it out.

:20:03. > :20:05.And he said, don't, you will just make things worse

:20:06. > :20:08.They don't listen, I tell the teachers and nothing changes,

:20:09. > :20:11.And I got in touch with Changing Faces.

:20:12. > :20:14.And they came to school, and spoke to the school about how

:20:15. > :20:19.The charity Changing Faces deals with face discrimination, set up

:20:20. > :20:27.Every single social interaction is problematic and so is what was

:20:28. > :20:30.going on here because my brain was saying people like you,

:20:31. > :20:34.people like you, looking like that, don't succeed.

:20:35. > :20:36.This kind of preconception about disfigurement happens

:20:37. > :20:47.Impressionable minds will pick up these things very quickly.

:20:48. > :20:57.This short survey is about the general public's

:20:58. > :21:01.We have asked a research company to come and test year fives,

:21:02. > :21:09.The children are being shown a series of faces and they have

:21:10. > :21:11.to match positive words like at the unsuccessful,

:21:12. > :21:14.or negative words like sad and I'm confident with the photos.

:21:15. > :21:19.Because it is your brain reaction, you can't cheat it.

:21:20. > :21:21.This is kind of an experiment for us.

:21:22. > :21:24.This test has never been used with children before

:21:25. > :21:26.and we are looking at how quickly people can associate positive words

:21:27. > :21:33.with images with people with facial disfigurement.

:21:34. > :21:36.Tests like this are used across the world to find out

:21:37. > :21:38.what we really think on subjects such as gender,

:21:39. > :21:45.People with facial disfigurements, are they as likely as being

:21:46. > :21:51.disfigured against as black people, women or gay people?

:21:52. > :21:57.I think that it is, as painful, but I don't think it is recognised.

:21:58. > :22:00.Virtually everyone who takes this is slower to be positive

:22:01. > :22:01.towards disfigured faces but the question is,

:22:02. > :22:32.Although you are slower at associating positive values

:22:33. > :22:34.of people with facial disfigurements is, you are only 11% slower.

:22:35. > :22:37.Adults in the UK that we have tested before at a score of 27%.

:22:38. > :22:39.The classes much more positive about facial disfigurement

:22:40. > :22:42.than the UK in general but the children are about to get

:22:43. > :22:46.We will test them tomorrow to see if there is a difference

:22:47. > :22:53.Looking different is tough for any kid, especially

:22:54. > :22:57.when you are a teenage girl and image is everything.

:22:58. > :23:00.I have come to Somerset, to talk to a young girl,

:23:01. > :23:02.that has a facial condition that means that she can't smile.

:23:03. > :23:18.Mainly that I was not pretty enough to be in their group and they did

:23:19. > :23:22.not want to be friends with me because I was weird or I looks

:23:23. > :23:26.not want to be friends with me because I was weird or I looked

:23:27. > :23:30.They just all left me and isolated me because of my face.

:23:31. > :23:33.Before the surgery with a smile, you can see happy little girl.

:23:34. > :23:35.Caitlin was only a little baby before she developed

:23:36. > :23:49.They took the whole tumour out and while doing that,

:23:50. > :23:52.they called the smiling nerve and as a result of that,

:23:53. > :23:55.So the whole side of her face dropped.

:23:56. > :24:00.I took are to have her photo taken with her brother

:24:01. > :24:10.and the photographer said, "Mum, what is she doing with her face?"

:24:11. > :24:13.And I was "what do you mean", and she said that silly face

:24:14. > :24:15.that she is pulling, and that is a photographer

:24:16. > :24:18.in a preschool and that is the first time that I broke down

:24:19. > :24:22.The preschool leader was trying to calm it all down

:24:23. > :24:25.and that is the point that I realise that nothing was going to be

:24:26. > :24:29.As a 14-year-old teenage girl, how important is image to you?

:24:30. > :24:31.I think very important, that is where everyone really

:24:32. > :24:35.On my Instagram comments, sometimes I get oh you are ugly,

:24:36. > :24:45.or you shouldn't be taking pictures like that.

:24:46. > :24:57.So I started taking pictures of half of my face instead of my whole face.

:24:58. > :25:03.The whole time, I put a lot of make up my eyes to distract people

:25:04. > :25:07.Seeing that children have two become resilient in the face of bullying.

:25:08. > :25:10.It still happens but I have my friends to help me.

:25:11. > :25:12.Did you ever see people poke fun at school?

:25:13. > :25:15.Yes, they were calling him Scarface but me and Connor, we back him up,

:25:16. > :25:21.Yes, because I acted normal, normal to everyone else.

:25:22. > :25:24.As soon as JJ said well he was the same as everybody else,

:25:25. > :25:40.When people point at Billy, what do you do?

:25:41. > :25:46.She's quite good with Billy because she defends him very well.

:25:47. > :25:48.But for Caitlin, primary school was hard.

:25:49. > :25:52.What did the school due to support you?

:25:53. > :26:04.They didn't feel like it was a big enough issue.

:26:05. > :26:09.If I found a magic lamp and I could have one wish,

:26:10. > :26:12.I wish that I would have a normal face and that no one

:26:13. > :26:16.I wish I could walk down the street without people seeing me,

:26:17. > :26:24.It is one of a few in the country teaching face equality.

:26:25. > :26:26.It started with the book Wonder, about a boy with a facial

:26:27. > :26:30.Compared with racism or homophobia or sexism, how important is it

:26:31. > :26:41.The school uses and lesson plans from Changing Faces.

:26:42. > :26:46.The charity wants to see it rolled out across the country.

:26:47. > :26:59.Why do you think so many schools are behind the trend in terms

:27:00. > :27:01.of supporting kids with facial disfigurement?

:27:02. > :27:04.It is the pressure they have got to get those academic results are,

:27:05. > :27:06.that is the biggest priority for most of the school.

:27:07. > :27:15.The children are also meeting markers and Caitlin.

:27:16. > :27:17.Well when I first went in there was a lot staring

:27:18. > :27:22.Was it kind of a bit more hard to make friends at school?

:27:23. > :27:26.It wasn't hard when I first started school but as I grew up and people

:27:27. > :27:29.grew up and we all started to realise I was a bit

:27:30. > :27:43.Just, it is not you with the problem.

:27:44. > :28:03.Once they started engaging with things that they had similar

:28:04. > :28:05.charities with such as Pokemon, those barriers just

:28:06. > :28:10.But has the lesson changed the views of the pupils?

:28:11. > :28:12.They are taking the same test that they did yesterday

:28:13. > :28:14.when they were 11% slower to match positive words

:28:15. > :28:24.It's a brain reaction tests your school will not improve practice.

:28:25. > :28:31.Basically we don't really notice the facial disfigurement,

:28:32. > :28:42.It would suggest that the education they had after yesterday's test

:28:43. > :28:49.That is a very plausible explanation.

:28:50. > :29:15.Really surprised. Meeting those children, we are all the same.

:29:16. > :29:19.It is part of the discrimination Act. You cannot discriminate against

:29:20. > :29:31.someone with a facial disfigurement. This year I did definitely gained

:29:32. > :29:38.a lot of confidence and realise that it is not Michaels

:29:39. > :29:41.and if they have a problem with it How would you like

:29:42. > :29:45.people to judge you? From my personality and what I do,

:29:46. > :29:48.not by my face. If you want to share that full film,

:29:49. > :29:51.you can find it again on our programme page:

:29:52. > :30:00.bbc.co.uk/victoria. Thank you to everyone got in touch.

:30:01. > :30:06.Tony says, "This needs stampling out. Education is the only way."

:30:07. > :30:13.Jeanette says, "I was encouraged to return to work as a teach we are

:30:14. > :30:20.severe facial palsy. I became depressed and for months suicidal

:30:21. > :30:26.and I have PDST as a result." John says, "I had severe acne which left

:30:27. > :30:36.me with scars. Rarely do I escape verbal abuse on a daily basis."

:30:37. > :30:40.Heidi says, "Yes, schools should be making pupils aware of

:30:41. > :30:43.discrimination." Another viewer says, "Everyone is different.

:30:44. > :30:47.Whatever their background." Thank you. Keep them

:30:48. > :30:49.In the next Keep them hour of the programme,

:30:50. > :30:51.we'll be speaking more people who've been discriminated because of

:30:52. > :30:56.and looking at what can be done to stop this type of bullying.

:30:57. > :31:01.UKIP will announce its new leader later this morning.

:31:02. > :31:04.As Nigel Farage stands down for the third time, we'll be joined

:31:05. > :31:07.by an audience of UKIP voters who'll tell us what they want

:31:08. > :31:12.The end of an era for Ed Balls as he finally

:31:13. > :31:16.gets booted out of Strictly - we'll be looking at his ten-week run

:31:17. > :31:22.Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:31:23. > :31:25.Almost none of the so-called "add on" treatments offered by fertility

:31:26. > :31:27.clinics to boost IVF success rates are backed up by

:35:06. > :35:08.terms that I am different and accept my impediments, other people do not

:35:09. > :35:12.accept them. UKIP's new leader will be

:35:13. > :35:14.announced later this morning. It means Nigel Farage's third spell

:35:15. > :35:17.as leader of the party I have never been

:35:18. > :35:29.and I have never wanted to be So I feel it is right that I now

:35:30. > :35:38.stand aside as the leader of Ukip. The leader of the UK

:35:39. > :35:45.Independence Party, Diane James! Watching TV this afternoon,

:35:46. > :35:47.you'll be watching the opposition I will continue as the interim

:35:48. > :35:59.leader of Ukip and we will go I keep trying to escape

:36:00. > :36:06.and going over the wall and running for the hills and before I'm finally

:36:07. > :36:14.free they track me back. The man tipped to be Ukip's next

:36:15. > :36:17.leader is in hospital after an altercation

:36:18. > :36:20.with a colleague in There were no punches thrown,

:36:21. > :36:33.no face slapping, nothing. As people would say,

:36:34. > :37:02.it was handbags at dawn. So, who do party members and voters

:37:03. > :37:06.want to take over as the next leader, and will they have the same

:37:07. > :37:12.attraction as Nigel Farage? Here with us, the Ukip MEP for the East

:37:13. > :37:16.of England, Tim Aker, and a group of Ukip voters. Thank you. Tim Aker,

:37:17. > :37:21.who do you want to be the new leader and what should their focus be? I

:37:22. > :37:28.support Paul Nuttall, I think he has the experience within the party. To

:37:29. > :37:31.see us into our next stage. We have won the referendum, we have to make

:37:32. > :37:36.sure Brexit means Brexit, but we have to win council seats and get

:37:37. > :37:39.more MPs next time. Labour is in disarray, they would rather talk

:37:40. > :37:43.about Castro than council housing, they are not talking about the

:37:44. > :37:48.issues of working-class voters. You are in a bit of disarray yourself?

:37:49. > :37:55.We have seen worse, we survived Kilroy. Some of our audience will

:37:56. > :38:00.not know who he is. A lot of people will. We have been winning

:38:01. > :38:05.by-elections. On the day of the altercation, we won a by-election in

:38:06. > :38:08.Hartlepool. With Paul hopefully as leader, we can march into labour

:38:09. > :38:12.areas and win council seats and be prepared for the next election. Tell

:38:13. > :38:17.us what you want from the next leader. I am Tricia Gulliver from

:38:18. > :38:24.Bromley, a member of the Bromley committee for Ukip. I want the next

:38:25. > :38:29.leader to unite the party, which is so very important. Is that through

:38:30. > :38:34.the charisma of their personality? Their policies? How would they do

:38:35. > :38:45.that? Strength of character and experience that they can bring. Go

:38:46. > :38:52.ahead. I am Matt, 24, and I joined the party in April 2000 15. I used

:38:53. > :38:58.to support Labour. Why did you switch in April 2015? They were not

:38:59. > :39:02.listening to working-class people struggling to make a living. Ukip

:39:03. > :39:12.were the only ones that work. Listening to us. -- that were

:39:13. > :39:19.listening to us. I live in Thurrock. We have had a Labour run council for

:39:20. > :39:23.a long time. Labour MPs, and now it's Conservative. I am now an

:39:24. > :39:30.activist for the party. What is the future for you? I support Paul

:39:31. > :39:35.Nuttall, I have done from the offset. The party has a great

:39:36. > :39:41.future. I have been knocking on doors since after May as well, when

:39:42. > :39:45.I stood. Knocking on doors, and our support base has been returning to

:39:46. > :39:50.us. I have been speaking to people that voted for us, saying, we're not

:39:51. > :39:53.going anywhere, we are not going to disappear. The party has a strong

:39:54. > :39:58.future, we have to keep knocking on the doors and asking important

:39:59. > :40:03.questions. What is it that people are asking you when you knock on the

:40:04. > :40:10.door? Anything. What can we do for you? We are public servants. We have

:40:11. > :40:13.to listen to the people. I was like that myself. You don't see a

:40:14. > :40:18.counsellor knocking on your door very often, only at election time,

:40:19. > :40:25.that is what is great about Ukip, out all the time, knocking on doors.

:40:26. > :40:29.I am Rebecca, from Ipswich, a Ukip voter pretty much ever since I could

:40:30. > :40:34.vote. I have always supported the party, I haven't been a member of

:40:35. > :40:39.it. My main issue has been the EU and getting out. I am incredibly

:40:40. > :40:43.happy with the result of the referendum. Ukip needs a strong

:40:44. > :40:47.leader to lead us forward and get us out of the EU, get Brexit sorted.

:40:48. > :40:54.Don't you trust Theresa made to do that? No. When she was Home

:40:55. > :40:58.Secretary, she couldn't manage the borders, so how can she manage

:40:59. > :41:05.Brexit? She said it is keeping her awake at night. There is a pamphlet

:41:06. > :41:11.on how to get us out in a week, repeal the 1972 European Communities

:41:12. > :41:21.Act, job done. She is not the reason a, she is Theresa maybe! -- she is

:41:22. > :41:24.not Theresa May. Do you not think it is slightly more complicated than

:41:25. > :41:28.you have made it sound? It is complicated because they want to

:41:29. > :41:35.make it complicated and draw it out. Frankly get on with it. For what

:41:36. > :41:43.purpose? To grind everyone down. But we are not going away.

:41:44. > :41:48.INAUDIBLE QUESTION. You think she is going to change

:41:49. > :41:54.completely? 17 million people said they wanted to leave... Yes, they

:41:55. > :41:58.did. Nigel Farage offered to help the government with the President of

:41:59. > :42:06.the US. He has the best relationship... Any incoming Prime

:42:07. > :42:11.Minister... He decided to put country before party. Their response

:42:12. > :42:14.was to laugh in the House of Commons. It seems they are willing

:42:15. > :42:25.to put party above country with this. I am Nick, a Ukip member since

:42:26. > :42:29.2002. That was when I realised Gordon Brown had trashed my pension.

:42:30. > :42:36.I started taking notice of what was going on in the world. Who do you

:42:37. > :42:45.want to lead Ukip? I voted for Paul Nuttall. On the basis of his

:42:46. > :42:52.experience. But what I have found, particularly with this referendum,

:42:53. > :42:56.both the people object into being in the EU and the people who wanted to

:42:57. > :43:01.stay in the EU, none of them had a very good idea of what the EU was

:43:02. > :43:05.all about. Quite a good example, a bit earlier in this programme, you

:43:06. > :43:12.had a chap talking about the single market. He only gave half the story.

:43:13. > :43:16.It isn't really a single market... We are not going to get into your

:43:17. > :43:21.definition of the single market, if you don't mind, we don't have time,

:43:22. > :43:29.let's hear from Josh. I have been a member of the party since 2015. Why

:43:30. > :43:33.do you support Ukip? I was half and half with the Conservative Party,

:43:34. > :43:36.but with David Cameron and Theresa May, true conservatives like

:43:37. > :43:42.Thatcher, they are very centrist, they just mumble a lot. They don't

:43:43. > :43:46.get the job done on the economy. We have had a Conservative government

:43:47. > :43:52.since 2010, and yet get in borrowing is up. Neither party has any clue

:43:53. > :43:57.how to sort out the economy, because national debt will be ?1.9 trillion

:43:58. > :44:04.by the end of the decade. Who do you support? Suzanne Evans. Have you

:44:05. > :44:11.heard her talk about reducing the deficit? She wants to focus on

:44:12. > :44:15.educating the young to do jobs so we don't have to rely on immigration.

:44:16. > :44:20.She wants a less intrusive state, cutting down on waste and NHS

:44:21. > :44:22.management, to get the deficit under control by not borrowing, like

:44:23. > :44:29.Labour would, to spend how they want. We need defence policies to

:44:30. > :44:32.make sure we stick to defence, because that is an area where we do

:44:33. > :44:37.need to spend money. She has a balanced idea of the role of

:44:38. > :44:42.government, so it is not just cutting and spending, which the

:44:43. > :44:46.other parties seem to be about. Just on point, talking about government

:44:47. > :44:51.finances, our manifesto at the last general election was the only one to

:44:52. > :45:00.be independently costed. Feted by independent experts. I understand.

:45:01. > :45:06.-- vetted. Norman Smith was talking about the government saying we will

:45:07. > :45:09.automatically come out of the European economic area when we leave

:45:10. > :45:13.the EU, but actually lawyers are saying there has to be a formal

:45:14. > :45:18.process, Parliament should be given the chance to trigger it as well. It

:45:19. > :45:23.seems to be watering down the whole process, doesn't it? Republic have

:45:24. > :45:29.spoken. Politicians are there, as Matt said... Tell me which

:45:30. > :45:32.politician is saying the public hasn't spoken? Which politician is

:45:33. > :45:41.saying we are going to ignore the public? In power... Owen Smith is

:45:42. > :45:47.not in power. Theresa May has a majority of, what, 12? There are

:45:48. > :45:52.enough hard-core remaineders to make this a messy process, just get on

:45:53. > :45:56.with it. Give us an early Christmas present, get up this week and say we

:45:57. > :46:02.are just going to do it. We are going to send the letter and start

:46:03. > :46:08.negotiations. Better still... Why does it matter, December or March?

:46:09. > :46:13.Because get on with it. The longer she leaves it, the more I have a

:46:14. > :46:19.point. They are trying for a second referendum. Clause 50 was put into

:46:20. > :46:23.the Lisbon Treaty not to allow people to leave, but to make it

:50:27. > :50:32.Well done. Well done. Well done. If I say honey, you say toast.

:50:33. > :50:48.Honey. Toast. It is Honey G time.

:52:25. > :52:29.out in week ten, that's the exact week as Ed Balls. Arc nn, good

:52:30. > :52:34.morning. Good morning. What did you think of his journey? I thought he

:52:35. > :52:37.was tremendously entertaining. He was enjoying T the first week I

:52:38. > :52:43.thought oh dear there, isn't going to work because he looked stiff and

:52:44. > :52:47.formal, but somebody gave him some good advice and from we can two

:52:48. > :52:51.onwards he really looked as if he was enjoying it. But he was

:52:52. > :52:57.improving, wasn't? That's something I could never say. But he did

:52:58. > :53:02.improve. I wonder if there are similarities with you in that,

:53:03. > :53:06.suddenly you go on Strictly as a former politician and you become a

:53:07. > :53:10.much-loved human being? Well, the thing is that people see a side of

:53:11. > :53:19.you that they never saw before and quite right, you you know, we were

:53:20. > :53:23.both doing serious jobs. Both of us were released from those

:53:24. > :53:27.responsibilities and threw ourselves into enjoying ourselves and that's

:53:28. > :53:32.infectious. Did it take you time to think I've got to, you know, get rid

:53:33. > :53:36.of any inhibitions to really go for this? Oh, I kept some inhibitions.

:53:37. > :53:40.There were things I wouldn't do and made that very clear from the start!

:53:41. > :53:48.I'm sure the same was true of Ed. He probably said, I will do this, but I

:53:49. > :53:53.won't do that and that's acceptable. All they want is for to you feel

:53:54. > :53:59.comfortable about what you're doing. Who was your partner? It was Anton

:54:00. > :54:04.Du Beke! How could I forget that? Peu would! Do you think they put him

:54:05. > :54:08.with you or you with him? Yes. If you think about the height

:54:09. > :54:13.difference, normally they wouldn't have made that pairing. But I think

:54:14. > :54:17.they made it because he is very good with the duffers, he is good with

:54:18. > :54:33.the old ladies. I think it was, they got it right. Did you see Ed Balls

:54:34. > :54:36.gangnam style? He was hugely entertaining and huge fun and when

:54:37. > :54:42.that happens the public will vote for you to come back. If the

:54:43. > :54:47.programme was about dancing, you wouldn't have people like me and Ed

:56:39. > :56:41.extraordinary for the time of year, and if you think that's a long way

:56:42. > :56:46.in Scotland, it is coming further south. This was the glorious scene

:56:47. > :56:52.captured by a less brave soul, one of our Weather Watchers Trish in

:56:53. > :56:58.London. We have a mishmash. A week ago it was Storm Angus and now it is

:56:59. > :57:01.quieter. We have got an area of high pressure and that's drawing in the

:57:02. > :57:04.colder air which is showing itself across the eastern side of the

:57:05. > :57:07.British Isles as clearer skies and we're going to push that a little

:57:08. > :57:13.bit further towards the north and west through the course of the day.

:57:17. > :57:22.Temperatures not really responding to the sun sheuvenlt it is on the

:57:23. > :57:25.cool side or the time of year and if you're exposed to the breeze, you

:57:26. > :57:30.will feel it cold. We will keep the cloud across Northern Ireland for a

:57:31. > :57:33.good part of the day and further north, the temperatures locked two,

:57:34. > :57:36.three, four, five Celsius something of that order, but there will be

:57:37. > :57:40.sunshine, and variable amounts of cloud. As soon as the sun goes down,

:57:41. > :57:45.the temperatures are going to fall away. I was talking about minus

:57:46. > :57:50.seven Celsius in the north of Scotland. Even in the towns and the

:57:51. > :57:52.cities, we will be looking at temperatures really falling away and

:57:53. > :57:58.that's the picture in the countryside. Somewhere in the

:58:02. > :58:04.and Northern Ireland, you may have a wee touch of frost, but this cloud

:58:05. > :58:11.associated with the weather front comes in and there will be rain for

:58:12. > :58:14.the western northern isles and it tends to fizzle further south and

:58:15. > :58:17.into Scotland and Northern Ireland. A slow process here so it doesn't

:58:18. > :58:21.get into the borders until late on and having had a cold start, you

:58:22. > :58:25.will be scraping your cars across England and Wales. The temperatures

:58:26. > :58:28.never really recover. Three, four, five Celsius and that's if you can

:58:29. > :58:32.get rid of the fog. There will be a wee bit of fog around and it will

:58:33. > :58:35.dent the temperatures further. Tuesday and into Wednesday, high

:58:36. > :58:40.pressure that was over the North Sea comes over towards the Republic of

:58:41. > :58:43.Ireland and that has the effect of stopping the Continental air coming

:58:44. > :58:47.at us and it is more maritime air with more moisture. We have got more

:58:48. > :58:52.in the way of cloud. It will stay dry, but the high pressure just not

:58:53. > :58:54.quite keeping those fronts away from the northern parts of Britain so

:58:55. > :58:58.into Scotland and Northern Ireland. There will be spells of rain at

:58:59. > :59:00.times, but the themes of the week, because of the high pressure, a lot

:59:01. > :59:12.of dry weather, but is it warm? No! Good morning. It is Monday. This

:59:13. > :59:15.morning children living with facial disfigurements tell us about the

:10:08. > :10:12.way to training? On the way to training and on the way back. And

:10:13. > :10:19.then he invited you to stay over at his house? That happened a little

:10:20. > :10:26.bit later, but not long after. At first, it was, you know, two, three

:10:27. > :10:34.or four lads who used to stay there. There was always two or three... And

:10:35. > :10:42.I'm going to ask you, Chris, what he did to you. At first it started, you

:10:43. > :10:47.know, the games used to start. It was hands everywhere, then down the

:10:48. > :10:56.pants. And then, later, it got more serious. In the bedroom. Where there

:10:57. > :11:03.was penetration. Things like that. What age were you? I was about nine.

:11:04. > :11:06.And if you want to watch that full interview,

:11:07. > :11:08.you can find it on YouTube or our programme page,

:11:09. > :11:10.just type Victoria Derbyshire and football into YouTube

:11:11. > :11:19.Since that interview, Andy Woodward tweeted,

:11:20. > :11:23."Just had a message someone was going to take her life and saw

:11:24. > :11:32.She now wants to live. We will survive and fight it."

:11:33. > :11:40.We have been overwhelmed with e-mails and text messages from you.

:11:41. > :11:44.I'm going to read a couple, no names. The revelations from the

:11:45. > :11:49.footballers on your programme has been incredibly difficult for me to

:11:50. > :11:53.watch. As a six-year-old boy, I was sexually abused once by a male

:11:54. > :11:59.neighbour. Just once. It's had a massive impact on my life since. I

:12:00. > :12:05.cannot imagine what repeated abuse must be like. And this, from another

:12:06. > :12:09.viewer. I watched your programme and cried many tears with your guests,

:12:10. > :12:18.because it brought back so much hurt, which still feels so raw. I

:12:19. > :12:24.was also a victim of Barry Bennell at Butlins, I didn't even connect

:12:25. > :12:28.him but I looked at photos of him with the dreaded Man City top on

:12:29. > :12:32.that I will always see him wearing in the indoor soccer school. Thank

:12:33. > :12:35.you for your programme, and I have now contacted the number you gave

:12:36. > :12:39.and had an hour-long conversation with them. I am passing on all the

:12:40. > :12:50.information to the relevant police authorities. Thank you for those.

:12:51. > :12:53.And if you've been affected by any of the issues you can find a list

:12:54. > :12:55.of helplines on the BBC's Action Line.

:12:56. > :13:00.All four men we spoke to in that exclusive interview say

:13:01. > :13:03.they were abused by a man called Barry Bennell,

:13:04. > :13:06.who worked at a number of clubs, including Crewe as a youth coach.

:13:07. > :13:09.Bennell has been imprisoned three times in total for child sex

:13:10. > :13:12.offences, including one spell in an American jail.

:13:13. > :13:14.Dario Gradi, who was Crewe Alexandra's manager for more

:13:15. > :13:19.than 24 years between 1983 and 2007, and is now their director

:13:20. > :13:22.of football and academy director, has offered "sympathy to the victims

:13:23. > :13:29.He said he knew nothing about Bennell's abuse of young

:13:30. > :13:34.footballers until his arrest in the US in 1994.

:13:35. > :13:38.He was questioned about it in a documentary for Channel 4

:13:39. > :13:42.This is what he said when questioned by the reporter about children

:13:43. > :13:50.Did you know some boys were staying virtually every weekend, every

:13:51. > :13:56.school holiday, spending a huge amount of time at his house? Yes,

:13:57. > :13:59.but they all seemed to be happy and quite contented kids. Did any of

:14:00. > :14:06.them tell you they were sleeping in his bed? No. Not at all. Presumably

:14:07. > :14:15.something the club would not approve of? Definitely not. Bearing in mind

:14:16. > :14:19.there is testimony of him abusing before he was here, he has pleaded

:14:20. > :14:23.guilty to abusing after he was her, do you believe it is possible he was

:14:24. > :14:28.abusing the boys while he was at Crewe? Of course I think it's

:14:29. > :14:31.possible, but I don't think at the time we had any cause for concern.

:14:32. > :14:34.That was in 1996. Like hundreds of parents up and down

:14:35. > :14:37.the country I spend quite a few Sunday mornings during the football

:14:38. > :14:40.season watching my young boys play Yesterday I asked other mums

:14:41. > :14:43.and dads supporting their children on the touchline, how they'd reacted

:14:44. > :14:46.the revelations of the last week or so, and whether they think

:14:47. > :14:57.it could happen now. I felt physically sick. I heard it

:14:58. > :15:04.on the radio. I was sick. Why did you have such a visceral reaction? I

:15:05. > :15:09.think because the abuse of authority, and that relationship, I

:15:10. > :15:16.can't imagine anyone actually ever doing that. What can I say? Just

:15:17. > :15:23.shocked. You have a young boy who plays football in a local team. Yes.

:15:24. > :15:27.Did it make you think again about what he does every weekend, the

:15:28. > :15:33.coaching and the training? Yes, I'm afraid it did. I don't think it's a

:15:34. > :15:37.position to be alone with a coach for anything to happen... It did

:15:38. > :15:43.make me think again, absolutely right. Just because you don't know,

:15:44. > :15:50.that it's not happening, doesn't mean it isn't. Do you think it could

:15:51. > :15:55.happen now? Yes. Really shocking, to be honest. Upsetting. I just feel

:15:56. > :16:00.sorry for every victim that's been abused. Have you got your own

:16:01. > :16:08.children who play football for a local club? No, I have a

:16:09. > :16:14.three-year-old daughter. Gymnastics, things like that. So I haven't. But

:16:15. > :16:18.it's an issue for any parent whose kids do any kind of sport,

:16:19. > :16:24.safeguarding their future? It's massive. I don't even know... You

:16:25. > :16:33.would like to think that doesn't go on any more. I've heard a few

:16:34. > :16:37.people's views. One of them said that's what he felt he had to do to

:16:38. > :16:44.get in the starting line-up, everything like that. Yeah, I hope

:16:45. > :16:49.it doesn't go on. I initially thought the guy who came out was

:16:50. > :16:57.really brave. It was fantastic, asking, because what he's done can't

:16:58. > :17:02.change the past, but what's happening now... It will be

:17:03. > :17:06.scrutinised. And hopefully the kids and everyone involved will be a lot

:17:07. > :17:10.safer. Hopefully the people who are doing the coaching in football are

:17:11. > :17:19.not going to be looked on in the wrong way. But hopefully... The kids

:17:20. > :17:28.will be safer. What was your initial reaction? Obviously you feel sorry

:17:29. > :17:34.for the guy, but it's a good thing that everyone's been made aware of

:17:35. > :17:38.the situation. As John says, hopefully it makes our kids a lot

:17:39. > :17:44.safer. Very sad to think that you leave your children with someone you

:17:45. > :17:48.trust, and they are taken advantage of. It's just a dreadful, absolutely

:17:49. > :17:55.dreadful. Their childhood has been taken away. And also it makes you

:17:56. > :18:01.feel really mistrustful of men who work with children, which is such a

:18:02. > :18:05.shame. The vast majority of intentions will be good, but it

:18:06. > :18:10.makes you not want to leave your children with anyone. That's really

:18:11. > :18:14.sad, actually. A sad indictment. You are supporting your boys, they play

:18:15. > :18:18.every Sunday morning with loads of other boys. Up and down the country

:18:19. > :18:24.this goes on. Do you think it could happen now? I think parents are a

:18:25. > :18:29.lot more aware of making their children aware of what is right and

:18:30. > :18:33.wrong. Making sure that if anything like that happens, that they would

:18:34. > :18:36.never ever get into trouble, they would say straightaway, no one has

:18:37. > :18:40.the right to touch them if they don't want to be touched. Just

:18:41. > :18:45.protect them. You have to be open and honest with them and encourage

:18:46. > :18:49.them to talk, if they feel like anything untoward is going on. They

:18:50. > :18:53.have to be able to open up and talk about it.

:18:54. > :18:55.And if you want to contact the dedicated NSPCC helpline

:18:56. > :19:08.to report abuse, you can call it 24 hours a day on: 0800 023 2642.

:19:09. > :19:10.The UK's leading charity for people with facial disfigurements has told

:19:11. > :19:13.this programme "face bullying" in schools could be a bigger problem

:19:14. > :19:16.than racism or homophobia because it's not as recognised.

:19:17. > :19:18.The facial disfigurement charity Changing Faces has introduced lesson

:19:19. > :19:22.plans in a small number of schools, to challenge perceptions that people

:19:23. > :19:24.who don't look like most other people are unsuccessful,

:19:25. > :19:30.They now want to roll out their education programme,

:19:31. > :19:36.to tackle what is feels is a hidden problem,

:19:37. > :19:39.which leads to misery and even mental illness for some children

:19:40. > :19:45.Our reporter Ashley John Baptiste has been to meet three

:19:46. > :19:46.children who've suffered prejudice and bullying

:19:47. > :19:50.We played you his full film earlier in the programme.

:19:51. > :20:05.Every face tells a story. The twin who doesn't look like the other.

:20:06. > :20:12.The boy scarred from birth. The girl who can't smile.

:20:13. > :20:17.Different stories, but similar experiences. Billy's family have

:20:18. > :20:23.struggled to even take him out in public. At time it can be soul

:20:24. > :20:28.detroug it really can. Because as a parent you just want to protect your

:20:29. > :20:35.child. How do you feel about that? Annoyed. He gets annoyed. Do you

:20:36. > :20:39.feel annoyed? Billy is nine. He is a twivenlt he was born with Apert's

:20:40. > :20:45.syndrome. It is a cranial facial condition. The paediatric registrar

:20:46. > :20:52.didn't even refer to Billy as a baby. He just said, "I have never

:20:53. > :20:57.seen anything like it before." Marcus is 12 and a talented

:20:58. > :21:03.trampolinist, but he was born with a cleft, a gap in his face. Some

:21:04. > :21:07.people called me Far Face and one times I was like ten and someone

:21:08. > :21:12.came up to me and said, "If they looked like me, they would kill

:21:13. > :21:16.themselves." Looking different is tough for any

:21:17. > :21:19.kid, but especially when you are a teenage girl and image is

:21:20. > :21:23.everything. I've come to Somerset to meet a young girl who has a facial

:21:24. > :21:29.condition that means she can't smile. Caitlin was only a baby when

:21:30. > :21:34.she developed a large benign tumour on the side of her face. They took

:21:35. > :21:39.the whole tumour out and while doing that, they caught the smiling nerve

:21:40. > :21:43.and as a result of that, she came round with facial palsy. When did

:21:44. > :21:47.people start to bully you? When I was seven, I think, that's when it

:21:48. > :21:51.all started. What sort of things did people say? Mainly that I wasn't

:21:52. > :21:55.receipty enough to be in their group and they didn't want to be friends

:21:56. > :21:58.with me because I was weird or I looked different. What did the

:21:59. > :22:03.school do to support you? Nothing. Literally nothing. This school in

:22:04. > :22:09.London is pretty rare. It is one of the few in the country teaching face

:22:10. > :22:13.equality. Why do you think so many schools are behind the trend when it

:22:14. > :22:20.comes to supporting kids with facial disfigurement? Think it is the

:22:21. > :22:23.pressures they have got to get the academic results up. That's the

:22:24. > :22:28.biggest priority for most of the schools. The schoolchildren are

:22:29. > :22:34.meeting Marcus and Caitlin? Was it more hard to make friends at school?

:22:35. > :22:38.It wasn't hard when I first started school, but as I grew up and people

:22:39. > :22:44.grow up and we started to realise I was a bit different so I think,

:22:45. > :22:48.yeah. You shouldn't really care. Just, it is not you with the

:22:49. > :23:06.problem, it's the people that bully you. Let's talk to Billy Mitchell

:23:07. > :23:08.who has Apert's syndrome. And his twin sister, Lois.

:23:09. > :23:12.Let's talk now to James Partridge the founder of Changing Faces.

:23:13. > :23:14.Joan Norris who opposes distinct curriculum for targeting

:23:15. > :23:25.Chelsea Burger who has had facial palsy since birth.

:23:26. > :23:32.Tell us what Billy's school has done to tackle bullying and prejudice

:23:33. > :23:36.because of the way Billy looks? We were quite proactive as parents with

:23:37. > :23:40.Billy and we wanted from the outset's Billy's school life to be

:23:41. > :23:47.really just the same as Lois' was going to be. So we asked Changing

:23:48. > :23:51.Faces to come and do a whole class assembly, a whole school assembly

:23:52. > :23:56.more about facial disfigurement which they came in and did. And they

:23:57. > :24:02.also took some time out to talk to the teachers in the school about how

:24:03. > :24:06.to deal with bullying and unwanted attention, you know, that Billy was

:24:07. > :24:09.to get say they were out on a school trip or something like that. And how

:24:10. > :24:15.much difference has that made to Billy's quality of life at school?

:24:16. > :24:20.Massively actually. His peers, they just see Billy as Billy. They look

:24:21. > :24:26.beyond the face and see, you know, Billy for the child who he is. His

:24:27. > :24:31.face doesn't define Billy at all. And he is treated very well. His

:24:32. > :24:35.school is very inclusive and you know the leadership team have been

:24:36. > :24:39.fantastic. Billy, how much do you enjoy school? Very much. Do you?

:24:40. > :24:44.Yeah. What's your favourite subject? Maths. Is it? Clever little boy.

:24:45. > :24:50.Lois, what have you done in the past when people have been mean to your

:24:51. > :24:55.brother? When they make fun of him, I stand in front of him so I can

:24:56. > :25:02.block their view. Do you? Yeah. What do you think about that, Billy?

:25:03. > :25:08.Good. Well done you Lois. Really well done. Chelsea, tell us what

:25:09. > :25:12.facial palsy is. Basically, facial palsy is a weakness on one of the

:25:13. > :25:18.sides of your face. It is just nerves aren't quite strong enough.

:25:19. > :25:21.And it can affect you by closing your eyes, watery eyes and even

:25:22. > :25:28.eating sometimes. Sometimes speaking as well. When you're tired it does

:25:29. > :25:32.get worse as it goes on. What sort of bullying have you experienced?

:25:33. > :25:38.Name calling. People pinching my things. Is this just at school or as

:25:39. > :25:41.an adult? Well, it was worse when I was at school even physical

:25:42. > :25:45.sometimes, but as I got older I thought it is going to stop. It is

:25:46. > :25:50.going to stop. I did my dream job and it didn't. A lady started

:25:51. > :25:54.bullying me again and inn my dream job and I thought when am I going to

:25:55. > :25:59.get out of it? I moved away from that job and now I don't get any

:26:00. > :26:04.bother anymore. I found Facial Policy UK website where there is a

:26:05. > :26:07.lady called Karen and she talks to you 24 hours a day. If you're

:26:08. > :26:14.feeling down, she talks to you and that helps a lot, but there is a

:26:15. > :26:19.reminder on Snapchat. There is a filter that makes your face go side

:26:20. > :26:26.ways. It is horrible. It needs to be stopped. Why? It just, I think, it

:26:27. > :26:32.is like yes, we have facial palsy, a few of the girls have been getting

:26:33. > :26:38.Snapchats of lads taking the mick saying, "This is what you look like.

:26:39. > :26:47." What kind of comments have people made to you about your face?

:26:48. > :26:52.Monster. You shouldn't be alive. It is not nice. Not nice at all. That's

:26:53. > :26:59.unbelievable. It is just vile. It is. It is. James, tell us why you

:27:00. > :27:02.think specific education about facial disfigurement in classrooms

:27:03. > :27:06.would be really useful? Well, clearly, we have to support and

:27:07. > :27:12.empower kids and young people themselves to deal with this stuff

:27:13. > :27:19.when it happens. But our view is that actually, this subject has been

:27:20. > :27:23.so pushed away and neglected in the ethos setting of the school that we

:27:24. > :27:30.need to bring it up. Hopefully over a five year period perhaps. It will

:27:31. > :27:37.become normal or obvious, but I think at this stage, we think we

:27:38. > :27:44.need to push face equality up into being not just sort of oh,

:27:45. > :27:49.Euro-sceptics it is a nice add-on, but integral in the Respect Agenda

:27:50. > :27:56.that all schools should have, but also teaching kids that you can

:27:57. > :28:01.interact normally and positively and inclusively with all kids, you

:28:02. > :28:06.notion unusual appearance or not. I think that's, that needs to be done

:28:07. > :28:09.as a measure for at least five years because what we're hearing is this

:28:10. > :28:14.is too common. This shouldn't be happening. There is a rudeness

:28:15. > :28:19.culture which we need to attack. Does it not come under the general

:28:20. > :28:24.umbrella of bullying though which is what you feel Joan? My feelings are

:28:25. > :28:30.it should be part of the general ethos of the school. So it is about

:28:31. > :28:34.feeling that, you have a bullying policy, but you have to think every

:28:35. > :28:38.single day what does that mean within your school and that's within

:28:39. > :28:43.the whole school community? Children will come into the classroom with

:28:44. > :28:48.all sorts of issues, whatever that might be, and teachers need to be

:28:49. > :28:51.skilful at spotting all of that and certainly if they feel that there is

:28:52. > :28:56.bullying going on or name calling or whatever, they need to have the

:28:57. > :29:00.equipment to deal with that instantly. You want something more

:29:01. > :29:05.specific, James, don't you? You see our view is disfigurement has been

:29:06. > :29:11.covered as a protected character Starc in the Equality Act, but it

:29:12. > :29:16.hasn't been given the same attention that racism and sexism and so on has

:29:17. > :29:22.been and so what we're seeking is to raise this and make sure that

:29:23. > :29:25.schools, under their public sector duty, their equality duty, actually

:29:26. > :29:30.have to show that they are taking this seriously. That face equality

:29:31. > :29:35.is embedded and you're right, we must make sure that the policing of

:29:36. > :29:40.it, the policies and the practise to stamp it out are there too. So

:29:41. > :29:44.parents actually have the sort of assurance that they need that their

:29:45. > :29:48.children are safe and this is a safety issue, as much as anything.

:29:49. > :29:53.What do you think, Denise? I totally agree. Education is really, really

:29:54. > :29:59.the most important thing to promote face equality. I think if we hadn't

:30:00. > :30:04.had Changing Faces go into the school, the cranial facial nurse

:30:05. > :30:08.from great or Monday street, Billy's life might have been a lot

:30:09. > :30:11.different. I really fear for his secondary school in particular. Do

:30:12. > :30:17.you? Yeah, I do, much more so. I think you really need to get

:30:18. > :30:21.children in their formative years, not just once, keep on and on,

:30:22. > :30:25.educating them and bringing it to the fore front and for schools to be

:30:26. > :30:28.inclusive as well. What difference would this have made to you at

:30:29. > :30:32.primary school, Chelsea? A hell of a difference. It wasn't just kids in

:30:33. > :30:38.school. I think if the parents told them it wasn't right, if they were

:30:39. > :30:42.guided how to approach us, we are normal people. We shouldn't be

:30:43. > :30:48.treated any different. I do think it would have made a hell of a

:30:49. > :30:52.difference. Some comments from people watching around the country.

:30:53. > :31:01."Christian on Facebook. I love these kids. Talking about you, Billy. And

:31:02. > :31:07.Lois. Concern, "As the mother of a child who suffered facial palsy, I

:31:08. > :31:11.support programmes like this. In schools, in social clubs, I'm not

:31:12. > :31:16.bothered where, but as adults we are responsible for making sure every

:31:17. > :31:23.child feels special. Those two children, Billy and Lois, are brave

:31:24. > :31:28.and mature and beyond their years and a huge high five to them for

:31:29. > :31:32.standing up for every child who has suffered like them and my daughter.

:31:33. > :31:35.Something like facial palsy is frightening enough for the child to

:31:36. > :31:39.come to terms with without there being a bullying problem to cope

:37:32. > :37:33.of the three main candidates for the French presidential

:37:34. > :37:35.elections in April will be. Francois Fillon was last night

:37:36. > :37:39.overwhelmingly chosen to represent the main centre-right Republican

:37:40. > :37:41.party in the forthcoming election. He will stand against Marine Le Pen,

:37:42. > :37:44.of the far-right National Front, and a Socialist candidate that

:37:45. > :37:47.hasn't yet been selected, but could be Francois Hollande,

:37:48. > :37:51.the current President who's fairly So who are the contenders?

:37:52. > :37:58.What do they stand for? And what will a victory for any

:37:59. > :38:08.of the candidates mean for the UK? We can speak to Jacques Myard,

:38:09. > :38:11.a member of the Republicans Party. And Agnes Poirier,

:38:12. > :38:17.a political commentator. Tell the British audience what

:38:18. > :38:23.people in France were voting for yesterday. First of all, it was the

:38:24. > :38:29.first time the French right were holding primaries. Secondly, it was

:38:30. > :38:37.not just for the people on the right... In a way it's very exciting

:38:38. > :38:45.as a democratic exercise. There were two rounds. The people who voted, a

:38:46. > :38:52.lot of people, want to... INAUDIBLE.

:38:53. > :38:58.I'm so sorry to interrupt. It is a really bad line, I'm so sorry. While

:38:59. > :39:04.we sort that out, I'm going to bring in Jack. Tell us about Francois

:39:05. > :39:11.Fillon. What is he promising? First of all, I would say that this

:39:12. > :39:17.exercise was a big success. It is true that many French rotas came and

:39:18. > :39:22.voted. Not only on the right-hand side of the political scene. --

:39:23. > :39:27.French voters. They wanted Alain Juppe instead of Francois Fillon.

:39:28. > :39:32.Francois Fillon is a man of experience, but he has something

:39:33. > :39:39.more. Of course he has a project in terms of cutting expenses, cutting

:39:40. > :39:44.the Secret Service... You know, he wants to get rid of 500,000 civil

:39:45. > :39:51.servants. He will go step-by-step and it will not be a shock, you

:39:52. > :39:57.know, in one shot. But it has something more. I think he has been

:39:58. > :40:01.succeeding because he is of a quiet strength, he appears as a man of

:40:02. > :40:10.calm and serenity. When Juppe was very excited... This is what I

:40:11. > :40:15.think, he forces confidence. I think this is one of his main, you know,

:40:16. > :40:22.strengths, main argument to win. But of course it is not yet finished.

:40:23. > :40:27.How will Mr Fillon go about trying to beat Marine Le Pen from the

:40:28. > :40:33.National Front, and whoever the Socialist candidate will be? Yes,

:40:34. > :40:41.well, I think he has a good chance. I think Le Pen, of course she now

:40:42. > :40:45.has a challenger. She will very likely be in the second round of the

:40:46. > :40:50.presidential election. But I don't think that she has a good chance to

:40:51. > :40:55.win, because there are many, many, let's say a huge majority of the

:40:56. > :40:59.French who would like to have her as a president. But she will be in the

:41:00. > :41:09.second round, it's likely. The strength of Fillon, he also attracts

:41:10. > :41:12.people who have voted for Le Pen in the past election. Because, you

:41:13. > :41:17.know, he has the support of a great part of the conservative Catholics,

:41:18. > :41:21.for instance, who sometimes have been voting for the extreme right. I

:41:22. > :41:32.believe they will come back to Fillon. Agnes, what is Marine Le Pen

:41:33. > :41:37.promising voters should she win? INAUDIBLE.

:41:38. > :41:41.She will go through to the second round, it is almost a mathematical

:41:42. > :41:49.fact, because the left is so fragmented. Francois Hollande and

:41:50. > :41:57.his Prime Minister, to be chosen at the next primaries...

:41:58. > :42:01.INAUDIBLE. The most likely to win against

:42:02. > :42:08.Marine Le Pen in the second round, that is the question. Francois

:42:09. > :42:13.Fillon, perhaps. A lot of people on the left think that Fillon...

:42:14. > :42:20.I'm so sorry, it is just a horrible line, really sorry about that. We

:42:21. > :42:24.persist, because we don't like to give up, but I am afraid on that we

:42:25. > :42:27.are just giving up, I am really sorry.

:42:28. > :42:34.When you make the decision to try IVF to have a baby

:42:59. > :43:02.Of the 27 different treatments available, the study found only one

:43:36. > :43:49.And we haven't introduced this delightful little baby here.

:43:50. > :43:54.Bridget. She is seven months. Congratulations. Welcome to the

:43:55. > :44:00.programme. Professor, when we say add-on treatments, what are we

:44:01. > :44:03.talking about? A cycle of IVF includes using the embryo and

:44:04. > :44:08.implanting it, plus some drugs, but beyond that there are add-on

:44:09. > :44:12.treatments you can be offered at the clinic. We have found there is

:44:13. > :44:17.considerable variation across the UK in who offers what. No consistency.

:44:18. > :44:21.That shows a problem immediately, because if it is an evidence-based

:44:22. > :44:24.approach and it is shown to make a difference, you will offer the

:44:25. > :44:29.treatment to everyone. That is the standard way we work in clinical

:44:30. > :44:33.practice. If you are not quite sure, you may offer it in some way, some

:44:34. > :44:37.clinics are using this to say, we are better than another clinic, we

:44:38. > :44:40.have an advantage because of this, trying to do their own little

:44:41. > :44:44.studies based on their own data, and then say, well, in the last ten

:44:45. > :44:49.babies we have delivered, they had this treatment. And then you said at

:44:50. > :44:54.the beginning, you get the situation where the motive... It is very

:44:55. > :44:59.difficult to get a balanced decision based on the evidence. One of the

:45:00. > :45:06.treatments you looked at, PGS involves screening the embryo for

:45:07. > :45:10.abnormalities. That is the really interesting one. The first version

:45:11. > :45:15.of it was shown to reduce your chance of having a baby. For every

:45:16. > :45:21.thousand women who had this treatment, there was 147 less babies

:45:22. > :45:28.born. It took ten years to do the trials. Until we discovered that.

:45:29. > :45:33.And then in about 2008, everyone said, OK, this is not a good thing

:45:34. > :45:40.to do, let's stop doing it. The problem is, we now have PGS version

:45:41. > :45:44.two, with newer tests. They are doing them in the light of poor

:45:45. > :45:51.quality evidence. Offering them to couples at high costs. Hello,

:45:52. > :45:58.Doctor, you have found Care fertility clinics. You offer PGS at

:45:59. > :46:04.your clinics. How much does it cost? About ?2500, added onto the IVF

:46:05. > :46:08.procedure. Poor quality evidence for offering it, according to the

:46:09. > :46:12.Professor? Of course, unfortunately, the professor is talking about a

:46:13. > :46:17.study that was done ten years ago. The study itself was widely

:46:18. > :46:22.criticised as being flawed. There is indeed some very difficult problems

:46:23. > :46:25.about getting the evidence. So the European Society of human

:46:26. > :46:29.reproduction decided it needed to conduct a trial. It has been

:46:30. > :46:34.undertaking that trial for six years. It hasn't been able to

:46:35. > :46:37.recruit. It will probably not ever published the trial. So why are you

:46:38. > :46:43.offering this until we have the evidence? Let me tell you, when it

:46:44. > :46:46.does publish this trial, it is two generations of technology out of

:46:47. > :46:51.date. We are now in a situation where we have moved on in the field

:46:52. > :46:55.and we have technology to overcome a real clinical problem. 70% of

:46:56. > :47:00.embryos do not make babies. One of the biggest causes of the problem is

:47:01. > :47:05.chromosomal errors that arise in those embryos. And we now have the

:47:06. > :47:08.technology, and we know from the US recently, none of this is covered or

:47:09. > :47:19.considered in the Oxford academic paper. 140,000 embryos were tracked

:47:20. > :47:27.last year in America. Those which used PGS, they had 12% higher live

:47:28. > :47:33.birth rate. It is an extra 16,000 babies because PGS was used. What do

:47:34. > :47:38.we say to a 35-year-old woman, a couple who want a baby? They have

:47:39. > :47:45.had a miscarriage, they may have tried IVF and it doesn't work. 35,

:47:46. > :47:48.36, 37 years old. Do we say we have this technology at the moment, this

:47:49. > :47:54.is the limited evidence we have available... Do you accept that,

:47:55. > :47:59.Professor? You are giving couples a choice? I accept completely that you

:48:00. > :48:03.give couples a choice, but you give them a choice based on the best

:48:04. > :48:08.available evidence. You tell them the benefits and the harm in effect.

:48:09. > :48:11.You want to know that and then you should take the information away and

:48:12. > :48:16.discuss it and come to a balanced decision. At the moment there is an

:48:17. > :48:22.overrepresentation of the benefits, many of the studies don't report the

:48:23. > :48:25.harm. PGS, if it did give you that benefit, we would want to know that

:48:26. > :48:27.because we would want to make that available to everyone because it

:48:28. > :48:36.would reduce the number of cycles. It is difficult to get an insight

:48:37. > :48:40.into how challenging it can be. You were doing this for seven years.

:48:41. > :48:46.Give us a flavour of what that time was like. Challenging is the right

:48:47. > :48:54.word. Life changing. Your whole life gets put on hold whilst you're going

:48:55. > :48:58.through it because you just, all you're after is a baby. Your life

:48:59. > :49:02.becomes about babies and putting your life on hold until you get a

:49:03. > :49:07.baby. We're very, very fortunate that we were lucky enough to have

:49:08. > :49:12.Brigitte. You enter this point of desperation and despair and you

:49:13. > :49:18.become open to anybody stacking an extra 1% or 2% in your favour. We

:49:19. > :49:21.were given advice and we had to make calls on things which were unproven

:49:22. > :49:28.and untested and fortunately, we did seem to get it right. How much did

:49:29. > :49:31.you spend on add-ones? The last cycle, when we won, we did an extra

:49:32. > :49:40.five or six I would think at least. Add-ones? Yes. Costing in total?

:49:41. > :49:45.?5,000 or ?6,000. But it was including the pregenetic screening.

:49:46. > :49:49.That was our last resort. We wanted to test our embryos. We went to our

:49:50. > :49:54.clinic and said this is what we want to do. Of course, you would say

:49:55. > :49:59.every penny was worth it? You can't put a price on it. It is a fairly

:50:00. > :50:03.unbiassed opinion. Did you ever feel without naming names or referring to

:50:04. > :50:07.clinics, did you ever feel exploited? Not with our clinic at

:50:08. > :50:12.all. Previous advice, we had spoken to a lot of clinics and we can tell

:50:13. > :50:15.there is an element of being exploited, I think, but we were

:50:16. > :50:21.fortunate with our clinic. Firstly, we were under informed of informed

:50:22. > :50:26.it was very difficult to find the information ourselves. It is such a

:50:27. > :50:30.small niche market. Simon, do you ever exploit couples who come to

:50:31. > :50:34.you? Well, I would certainly hope not. It is very important that we

:50:35. > :50:38.professionally give patients written information and we do that and I

:50:39. > :50:41.agree entirely with the professor, the information that patients are

:50:42. > :50:45.given, it is extremely important. What they didn't do in their study

:50:46. > :50:48.unfortunately was to seek the information directly from clinics,

:50:49. > :50:53.not their websites, on what written information is given to patients to

:50:54. > :51:01.allow them to make an informed consent. We give as much information

:51:02. > :51:07.as is available to the medical specialist as to the patients. It is

:51:08. > :51:10.extremely important. They have hard choices, but they are trying very

:51:11. > :51:16.hard to sift through this information. Juliette, what do you

:51:17. > :51:20.think? Well, I'm not surprised by this, but I'm dismayed by what I

:51:21. > :51:26.have heard about the study. What can you do? Well, the approach that

:51:27. > :51:29.we're take as the regulator of IVF, but not unfortunately a number of

:51:30. > :51:34.these add-ones is to speak to patients like Frankie and Tom and to

:51:35. > :51:39.give them the information... What bit do you regulate and you can't

:51:40. > :51:44.regulate the add-on bit? It depends on the add-on. We have some

:51:45. > :51:48.regulated control over PGS and we expect clinics to give certain

:51:49. > :51:53.information. Why can't you regulate the lot? Because we don't regulate

:51:54. > :51:58.drugs and surgical procedures and we could try to acquire those powers,

:51:59. > :52:02.but I think for us the important thing is to help patients who feel

:52:03. > :52:04.really at sea in all of this and really confused by the conflicting

:52:05. > :52:08.information. There is often, they are not sure who to trust, they

:52:09. > :52:14.phone us and say, "Is there anywhere we can get information that's

:52:15. > :52:18.unbiassed. " The we are the only place you can get that. We're using

:52:19. > :52:22.our scientific advice and we will be look ago the this study to give good

:52:23. > :52:27.information to patients via our website and to appeal to clinics to

:52:28. > :52:30.ability responsibly. Maybe if there is limited evidence you shouldn't be

:52:31. > :52:34.charging for this, maybe it should be part of a trial. If there is good

:52:35. > :52:38.he have, information is great. That's all patients want is good

:52:39. > :52:40.information. There is more on Panorama tonight on

:52:41. > :52:44.BBC One at 8.30pm. She's one of the biggest selling

:52:45. > :52:47.artists of her generation. Alicia Keys has been talking

:52:48. > :53:08.to Babita Sharma for Alicia Keys welcome to the 100

:53:09. > :53:15.Women. What happened with you with the decision to say, "I'm not going

:53:16. > :53:18.to wear make-up anymore." I was becoming overly concerned with other

:53:19. > :53:21.people's opinions of me. To the point where I would be freaked out

:53:22. > :53:25.because I was leaving the house and I didn't have make-up on and I was

:53:26. > :53:30.just realising there was so much that, so much that I had learned and

:53:31. > :53:34.that I think we all learn as specially as women, you know, and

:53:35. > :53:40.girls from the second they were born, from before we even come out,

:53:41. > :53:48.you know, there is all of these images and these expectations and

:53:49. > :53:54.all of these, you know, particular pressures that have made us to think

:53:55. > :53:58.this is what beauty. This is what a successful woman is or this is what

:53:59. > :54:03.a famous woman is. What do you think we as women can do to push against

:54:04. > :54:09.that? What should we be telling our daughters? I'm one just for variety.

:54:10. > :54:15.That's my thing, you know, I just want myself and my daughter, if I

:54:16. > :54:21.had one and my sons, you know, to see a variety of what people look

:54:22. > :54:28.like. Here is what people look like. You know what I mean? We look a vast

:54:29. > :54:32.array of ways and it is really not about make-up or no make-up or

:54:33. > :54:35.anything like that, it is about what makes you comfortable and it is also

:54:36. > :54:38.about being able to explore different versions of what makes you

:54:39. > :54:42.comfortable and seeing what happened. You should be able to

:54:43. > :54:49.without your dad, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your husband,

:54:50. > :54:53.saying, "Stop. Quiet. Just just give me a second to have my whole

:54:54. > :54:57.experience. It is all you, regardless and even for myself, when

:54:58. > :55:01.I want to wear make-up, that's my choice. I can wear make-up and no

:55:02. > :55:09.one should be able to say, "Didn't you say you were never going to. No,

:55:10. > :55:16.that's not what I was saying. Congratulations on your new albumt.

:55:17. > :55:34.Thank you. One track stood out for me, Girl Can't scab. Herself. --

:55:35. > :55:40.Girl Can't Be Herself. My favourite part says when a girl can't be

:55:41. > :55:48.herself no more, I just want to dry. I just want to cry for the world.

:55:49. > :55:59.When a girl can't be herself no more, I just want to cry. I just

:56:00. > :56:06.want to cry for the world. It is so beautiful. It also is quite sad for

:56:07. > :56:11.me. Sad that has to be out there. They message has to be given to

:56:12. > :56:17.girls? Yeah, it is sad actually. It is sad that girls can't be

:56:18. > :56:23.themselves. It's sad that, you know, sad that through this whole election

:56:24. > :56:32.process in America that, you know, because Hillary was so strong and

:56:33. > :56:36.clear and tough, you know, how much unnecessary things were said about

:56:37. > :56:41.her being a woman, you know. It is like we as women, we can be any way.

:56:42. > :56:45.We can be many ways and it is sad when you can't be yourself, you

:56:46. > :56:51.know. Whoever that self is, whatever that is. And that's, you know,

:56:52. > :56:55.that's a problem with girls all over the world, you know and there is so

:56:56. > :56:59.much oppression for women and there is so much oppression for girls and

:57:00. > :57:04.there is so many, you know, unequal opportunities for girls and for

:57:05. > :57:10.women. And it is sad. We've gone through one of the most bitterly

:57:11. > :57:14.fought elections in America's history. You've said in the past

:57:15. > :57:17.about Donald Trump that you don't listen to anything that he says and

:57:18. > :57:23.you said you don't care about what he thinks about women. He's going to

:57:24. > :57:29.be your next president, 45th president of the United States of

:57:30. > :57:39.America. How do you feel about that? I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed

:57:40. > :57:49.that so much hateful rhetoric and sexism and bigotry and racial slurs

:57:50. > :57:54.and intolerance would be rewarded with a presidency.

:57:55. > :57:59.Alicia Keys, thank you for being part of our 100 Women Season on the
