:00:11. > :00:28.Muddled thinking. Ill founded arguments. How Britain's outgoing

:00:30. > :00:30.affect negotiations. This programme has discovered that

:00:31. > :00:35.some staff at a private ambulance company have had as little

:00:36. > :00:38.as one hour's training We'll bring you the full exclusive

:00:39. > :00:46.story after 9.15 this morning and keen to hear your experiences

:00:47. > :01:00.of private ambulance companies. didn't really tell me what to do. He

:01:01. > :01:02.just gave me the blue lights and said off you go. That is

:01:03. > :01:07.astonishing. It is astonishing. Janet Jackson's given

:01:08. > :01:11.birth to her first baby We'll get advice from other mums

:01:12. > :01:24.who gave birth at the age of 50. Welcome to the programme,

:01:25. > :01:28.we're live until 11:00 this morning. As always, we'll bring

:01:29. > :01:30.you the latest breaking news and developing stories and we're

:01:31. > :01:33.really keen to hear from you. A little later we'll be hearing how

:01:34. > :01:36.four days into January some fat cat bosses have already earned more this

:01:37. > :01:39.year than the average British worker Use the hashtag Victoria LIVE

:01:40. > :01:46.and If you text, you will be charged Britain's outgoing ambassador

:01:47. > :01:50.to the European Union, criticised the government's

:01:51. > :01:55.preparations for Brexit. In his resignation letter he said

:01:56. > :01:57.he didn't know what ministers' negotiating objectives

:01:58. > :02:00.were and called on his colleagues to challenge

:02:01. > :02:04.what he called muddled thinking. Our Diplomatic Correspondent,

:02:05. > :02:09.James Landale, reports. Sir Ivan Rogers has been

:02:10. > :02:11.Britain's ambassador to the EU for three years,

:02:12. > :02:15.and his criticisms about the Government's preparations

:02:16. > :02:18.for Brexit will be hard to ignore. In his resignation e-mail, he says

:02:19. > :02:31.there is a short supply of... He reveals that even he does not

:02:32. > :02:35.know what the Government's negotiating objectives

:02:36. > :02:38.for Brexit will be. But it is Sir Ivan's implicit

:02:39. > :02:41.and thinly veiled criticism He urges fellow officials never

:02:42. > :02:47.to be afraid to speak truth to power, and to challenge

:02:48. > :02:50.what he calls muddled thinking He says they should support each

:02:51. > :02:57.other in difficult moments when they have to deliver messages

:02:58. > :03:00.that are disagreeable to those So, Sir Ivan's charge

:03:01. > :03:05.is a serious one - that the Government isn't ready

:03:06. > :03:08.for Brexit and it is ignoring Let's cross to Westminster

:03:09. > :03:25.and to our Political What will be the reaction to this

:03:26. > :03:34.resignation e-mail? There has been widespread reaction this morning. A

:03:35. > :03:40.number of fronts, believe campaigners, Iain Duncan Smith is

:03:41. > :03:43.saying, it wasn't possible for the government to trust Sir Ivan

:03:44. > :03:47.Rodgers. If you look at the Manor of this letter, he doesn't seem to be

:03:48. > :03:52.in sync with the government's views on Brexit and perhaps it was better

:03:53. > :03:56.for him to go. But remain campaigners have been regretting his

:03:57. > :04:05.departure. They say there has been a lot of experience, Sir Ivan Rodgers

:04:06. > :04:09.felt he was too close to Brussels. But he knew how Brussels work. We

:04:10. > :04:15.heard from the former head of the Foreign Office, the former head of

:04:16. > :04:18.the diplomatic service who said he thinks Sir Ivan Rodgers will be a

:04:19. > :04:23.great loss just several months before Theresa May is due to press

:04:24. > :04:29.the button on Article 50, the process of leaving the European

:04:30. > :04:32.Union. He thinks one of the reasons he left is because his advisor

:04:33. > :04:37.wasn't being listened to in Downing Street. What comes through in that

:04:38. > :04:41.note is a certain amount of frustration from Ivan Rogers, on

:04:42. > :04:47.what he says the negotiating position has been coordinated in

:04:48. > :04:51.London and the advice from negotiators in Brussels is being

:04:52. > :04:55.included in that. By the time we trigger Article 50, we need clarity

:04:56. > :04:59.about the objectives and the purpose of the negotiation. How much of a

:05:00. > :05:04.problem is this for Theresa May and Downing Street? Having to replace

:05:05. > :05:09.your senior EU representative at this point is not something that is

:05:10. > :05:12.desirable. But we will have to get on with it, the Prime Minister will

:05:13. > :05:15.have to go ahead and there will be a selection process involving the

:05:16. > :05:19.Foreign Office, the Foreign Secretary, the Cabinet Secretary and

:05:20. > :05:23.the Prime Minister, to find someone who is qualified and able to take

:05:24. > :05:29.over from Ivan. That is one of the problems that has been pointed out

:05:30. > :05:33.to her, the process and the timescale for the replacement. The

:05:34. > :05:38.clock is ticking and Theresa May has said Article 50 has to be invoked

:05:39. > :05:42.before the end of March. But from my conversations this morning, there

:05:43. > :05:46.isn't a clear process in place to find a replacement for Sir Ivan

:05:47. > :05:52.Rodgers. One of the key jobs he did was meet representatives from all of

:05:53. > :05:56.the other EU member states every week. So in terms of getting the

:05:57. > :06:00.intelligence from Brussels, what other countries might be up to, is

:06:01. > :06:04.vitally important. So far it looks as though it might be a

:06:05. > :06:08.recommendation from a senior civil servant as to who his successor

:06:09. > :06:13.should be. But the fact no timescale is in place for his replacements,

:06:14. > :06:17.suggest it was a surprise to Downing Street that he left at this stage,

:06:18. > :06:22.even though he was due to stand down before the end of the. That will be

:06:23. > :06:26.a challenge for Theresa May. But the biggest political challenge will be

:06:27. > :06:29.to answer the central accusation in his central Brexit resignation

:06:30. > :06:33.letter, is that the government wouldn't give us a running

:06:34. > :06:37.commentary on Brexit, or share the negotiating strategy with us, but

:06:38. > :06:41.they don't know what the objectives are when they go into those crucial

:06:42. > :06:44.negotiations with the rest of the EU. Thank you very much.

:06:45. > :06:47.Now, a news summary from the BBC Newsroom.

:06:48. > :06:51.Former drivers for a private ambulance firm that provides

:06:52. > :06:54.emergency cover for the NHS, say they were given just an hour's

:06:55. > :06:58.A company based in Essex called the 'Private Ambulance Service'

:06:59. > :07:00.is contracted to respond to emergencies during busy times.

:07:01. > :07:03.The company says the level of training of its staff exceeds

:07:04. > :07:10.Victoria will have more on this after quarter past.

:07:11. > :07:13.An Israeli military court has convicted a soldier of manslaughter

:07:14. > :07:17.for killing a wounded Palestinian who had stabbed another soldier.

:07:18. > :07:20.Sergeant Elor Azaria, who's now 20, shot Abdul Fatah al-Sharif

:07:21. > :07:23.while he was apparently incapacitated in the

:07:24. > :07:28.It happened during a wave of Palestinian knife attacks.

:07:29. > :07:31.Sharif and another Palestinian had stabbed and wounded an Israeli

:07:32. > :07:35.soldier in Hebron before troops opened fire, wounding Sharif

:07:36. > :07:44.Footage shows Sharif was then shot dead from a few metres away.

:07:45. > :07:51.The BBC's Yolande Knell is in Tel Aviv.

:07:52. > :08:00.Can you tell us a bit more about the sensitivities around this and the

:08:01. > :08:04.reaction? The panel of three judges are still handing down their verdict

:08:05. > :08:09.in this case. What they have said is they don't buy the defence claimed

:08:10. > :08:12.by the soldier that he believed that Abdul Fatah al-Sharif continued to

:08:13. > :08:16.pose a threat, because he saw him moving. He told the court he thought

:08:17. > :08:21.perhaps he had a suicide belt underneath his jacket. But the

:08:22. > :08:27.prosecution claimed this was an act of revenge after the earlier

:08:28. > :08:31.stabbing attack on soldiers. Elor Azaria had been a medic and treated

:08:32. > :08:37.one who was wounded. Sentencing in this case will take place at a later

:08:38. > :08:40.date. There was a small crowd of people supporting Elor Azaria

:08:41. > :08:45.outside the court with signs saying, the nation is behind you. There have

:08:46. > :08:51.previously been rallies in his support here in Tel Aviv, with

:08:52. > :08:55.thousands of people turning out. Some top Israeli officials have

:08:56. > :09:02.spoken also backing him, but the IDF has been clear, this is a breach of

:09:03. > :09:04.its moral values and military regulations and Palestinians and

:09:05. > :09:09.Israeli human rights groups who distributed the video that was shot

:09:10. > :09:14.in Hebron on the day, very disturbing footage, they have said

:09:15. > :09:18.this case is evidence that excessive force was being used in some cases

:09:19. > :09:22.during the wave of Palestinian attacks, which were mostly

:09:23. > :09:23.stabbings, but in some cases car ramming and shootings, over the past

:09:24. > :09:31.year. Thank you. Military and security experts

:09:32. > :09:34.in the UK are urging people to learn lifesaving skills in case they're

:09:35. > :09:36.caught up in a terror attack. They've launched an app called

:09:37. > :09:38.CitizenAid, which offers people a step-by-step guide to saving lives

:09:39. > :09:42.in the event of such an attack. They say people need to know how

:09:43. > :09:44.to give vital first aid, such as stopping severe bleeding,

:09:45. > :09:46.before paramedics arrive. The retailer Next says

:09:52. > :10:00.fell by 0.4% in the 54 days to Christmas Eve compared

:11:14. > :11:18.from somebody who wishes to remain anonymous. I have worked as an NHS

:11:19. > :11:24.paramedic for an early 20 years and private Ambulance Service crews lack

:11:25. > :11:30.of training, other worrying, would be the least of my concerns. I am

:11:31. > :11:35.often embarrassed by the stuff that back me up and I readily find myself

:11:36. > :11:39.making excuses for them to patients and explained they are private

:11:40. > :11:44.ambulance personnel and not NHS. I would like to remain anonymous

:12:11. > :12:11.night against Tottenham. They're looking for an historic 14th

:12:12. > :12:15.straight win in the English top And I'm sure they wouldn't

:12:16. > :12:18.mind setting that record against their arch enemies

:12:19. > :12:20.Tottenham. What's more, a win would extend

:12:21. > :12:22.their lead at the top So, a big night for Chelsea,

:12:23. > :12:28.a big night for the fans. If they do win, this is something

:12:29. > :12:31.that hasn't happened since top-flight football was first

:12:32. > :12:33.played in 1888. Formidable as Chelsea

:12:34. > :12:35.are at the moment, though, Spurs are enjoying a good run

:12:36. > :12:37.of form themselves. They've won their last four league

:13:06. > :13:07.were dented last night, but Bournemouth will still be

:13:08. > :13:09.kicking themselves, won't they? Arsenal fans have had quite a bit

:13:10. > :13:12.to celebrate in recent days, after Olivier Giroud's

:13:13. > :13:13.remarkable scorpion-kick goal. And although they didn't beat

:13:14. > :13:16.Bournemouth last night, this may The Gunners were 2-0 down

:13:17. > :13:20.at half-time, before Bournemouth So, Arsenal 3-0 down

:13:21. > :13:24.with half an hour to play, and would you believe it,

:13:25. > :13:27.they pulled it back. Who else but that man Giroud

:13:28. > :13:50.with the equalising goal. Mike Phelan, wasn't that long he was

:13:51. > :13:56.winning manager of the month? It was only in August, it shows how brutal

:13:57. > :13:57.football management can be. This is the third sacking of a Premier

:13:58. > :14:02.League boss in as many weeks. Phelan was manager of the month

:14:03. > :14:05.in August, before getting the role But Hull City are bottom

:14:06. > :14:08.of the league, and have been in the relegation

:14:09. > :14:10.zone since mid-October. It's indicative of the difficult

:14:32. > :14:35.leagues games, and they're The club say they will announce

:14:36. > :14:39.a replacement in due course. One name being mentioned is former

:14:40. > :14:48.Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett. This programme has discovered that

:14:49. > :14:54.some staff at a private ambulance company have had as little as one

:14:55. > :14:57.hour's training to drive NHS trusts are increasingly

:14:58. > :15:00.using companies and charities to respond to emergency calls

:15:01. > :15:02.when they don't have The Private Ambulance Company,

:15:03. > :15:07.based in Basildon in Essex, has a contract to respond to 999

:15:08. > :15:10.calls for the NHS ambulance trust in the East of England,

:15:11. > :15:15.as well as emergency transport Whistle blowers have told this

:15:16. > :15:20.programme about a lack of training, dirty conditions in the vehicles

:15:21. > :15:24.and inappropriate equipment. The company denies the allegations,

:15:25. > :15:27.and says all its staff have Our reporter James Melley

:15:28. > :15:37.has been investigating. One hour's training on blue

:15:38. > :15:47.lights, that was it. It was quite clear that

:15:48. > :15:50.I was working with people that weren't trained,

:15:51. > :15:57.weren't competent in the job. And now I've got to find a way

:15:58. > :16:13.of living without him. When we dial 999 for an emergency,

:16:14. > :16:19.most people expect NHS ambulances and their highly-trained crews

:16:20. > :16:24.to respond, but increasingly, as NHS trusts struggle to meet demand,

:16:25. > :16:28.private companies are stepping One of these companies

:16:29. > :16:41.is the Private Ambulance Service, which is based in Basildon,

:16:42. > :16:43.in Essex. It carries out work like taking

:16:44. > :16:47.patients to hospital appointments, transferring sick people

:16:48. > :16:50.between hospitals, and it also provides cover for 999 calls

:16:51. > :16:53.for the East of England NHS But whistle-blowers have told us

:16:54. > :16:58.staff aren't properly trained, and the equipment they use is not

:16:59. > :17:03.up to scratch. Now, a woman is taking legal action

:17:04. > :17:05.against an ambulance The Private Ambulance Service

:17:06. > :17:09.was in the news last year, after the Essex coroner criticised

:17:10. > :17:11.it over the death of One of the company's crews

:17:12. > :17:17.responded to a call saying And he said, "I think

:17:18. > :17:21.it's my heart." She put the stethoscope

:17:22. > :17:23.on his chest and said, They ran tests and said Mr Page had

:17:24. > :17:29.got indigestion or had a hurt muscle He later died, having

:17:30. > :17:34.suffered a heart attack. And I've got to find a way

:17:35. > :17:43.of living without him. Mrs Page's solicitor Stefanie Prior

:17:44. > :17:54.is seeking compensation for her. What has the impact

:17:55. > :17:58.been on Kim Page? I don't think any words can describe

:17:59. > :18:03.how Kim feels on a daily basis. Preparing for Christmas

:18:04. > :18:06.was very hard for her. She also had a family

:18:07. > :18:09.wedding in America. I actually spoke to her

:18:10. > :18:11.when she was in America, the night before the wedding,

:18:12. > :18:17.and she was really in a bit of difficulty with the whole process

:18:18. > :18:20.of attending the wedding with Gary's What have you found out

:18:21. > :18:25.about the way the Private Well, I've been contacted

:18:26. > :18:28.by various individuals who were former employees

:18:29. > :18:32.of the Private Ambulance Service who were worried about

:18:33. > :18:34.the safety of patients. One particular former

:18:35. > :18:37.employee had reported them to Care Quality Commission twice,

:18:38. > :18:43.to no avail. We've spoken to several people

:18:44. > :18:46.that work or have worked "Paul" would only speak to us

:18:47. > :18:52.if we disguised his identity. He worked for PAS as a medic,

:18:53. > :18:56.but lost his job last year. What was it like when you

:18:57. > :18:59.started working there? Surprising, I never had any

:19:00. > :19:02.induction or training. Pretty much just sent

:19:03. > :19:04.out, and that was it. So you had no induction,

:19:05. > :19:06.no training? It was quite clear that

:19:07. > :19:10.I was working with people that, not through their own fault,

:19:11. > :19:12.that weren't trained. They weren't competent in the job,

:19:13. > :19:14.and they certainly weren't confident In particular, on the ambulance

:19:15. > :19:18.side, coming across what we call running calls, so you come

:19:19. > :19:22.across a patient, quite a few staff Didn't know how to take simple

:19:23. > :19:27.things like blood sugars, ECGs, didn't know how to do

:19:28. > :19:30.manual blood pressures. Is there an example where that

:19:31. > :19:34.happened that particularly We drove out of a hospital one day

:19:35. > :19:39.doing PTS, or patient transport service work,

:19:40. > :19:42.and there was a lady collapsed The colleague I was with at the time

:19:43. > :19:48.didn't have a clue what to do. As I say, she didn't know how

:19:49. > :19:51.to take a blood sugar, how to read ECGs, how to even

:19:52. > :19:53.do an ECG. I ended up treating the patient,

:19:54. > :19:56.by which time other crews coming out of the hospital ended

:19:57. > :19:58.up assisting us. When it's putting patients at risk,

:19:59. > :20:01.it's putting lives at risk, it's delaying what could be

:20:02. > :20:04.time-critical first We started to hear more disturbing

:20:05. > :20:12.stories about a lack of basic training for staff

:20:13. > :20:16.at the Private Ambulance Service. Dan Duke worked at the company

:20:17. > :20:20.in patient transport until 2013, The job could require him to drive

:20:21. > :20:25.under blue lights when taking an emergency patient

:20:26. > :20:28.between different hospitals. What training were you actually

:20:29. > :20:31.given, in order to drive One hour's training

:20:32. > :20:39.on blue lights, that's it. All I'd done was got in the vehicle,

:20:40. > :20:44.got everything ready, started to drive out,

:20:47. > :20:52.all the way down the A127, By that time it was about 4:00,

:20:53. > :20:57.so there was quite a bit of traffic, so it was having to go

:20:58. > :20:59.through the traffic Then all the way along the seafront,

:21:00. > :21:06.and then back along the seafront up towards Leigh-On-Sea,

:21:07. > :21:10.back on the A127 and into Basildon Trading Estate,

:21:11. > :21:14.where they were based at. He told me once, "There's

:21:15. > :21:21.a sharp corner coming up, when you come off the end

:21:22. > :21:24.of the seafront and go round, there's a sharp turn,"

:21:25. > :21:27.and he told me, "Don't forget about that turn," but I

:21:28. > :21:30.already know it's there. But that's the only thing

:21:31. > :21:33.he really said to me He didn't really tell me what to do

:21:34. > :21:37.or anything like that. He just gave me everything, said,

:22:05. > :22:19.training to drive under blue lights? The East Midlands NHS

:22:20. > :22:21.Ambulance Service let me watch it train its staff

:22:22. > :22:25.on its four-week course. Just change that siren

:22:26. > :22:27.again to the phaser, They've stopped, they've

:22:28. > :22:34.seen you, that's good. Left-hand indicator,

:22:35. > :22:42.left hand mirror as we come out. Nice and slow, in case we come

:22:43. > :22:45.across one of these. What kind of dangers do ambulance

:22:46. > :22:59.drivers have to be aware of when they're driving

:23:00. > :23:01.under blue lights? If you imagine everything that's

:23:02. > :23:04.on the road or by the side of the road is a potential hazard,

:23:05. > :23:07.it's a potential hazard to us, so some of the particular ones

:23:08. > :23:11.would be, as you'd expect, We've got an exemption under law

:23:12. > :23:16.to treat a red traffic light So we can proceed at a slow walking

:23:17. > :23:24.pace through those traffic lights, with maximum observation all around,

:23:25. > :23:28.to make sure it's safe Of course, the other traffic that's

:23:29. > :23:33.crossing us has the green light, so they have got priority,

:23:34. > :23:36.and we can only proceed In your opinion, would it be

:23:37. > :23:41.possible to train somebody to drive under blue lights with an hour,

:23:42. > :23:45.a day of training? The fact that our whole

:23:46. > :23:49.course is four weeks long, and the first two weeks

:23:50. > :23:52.are the foundation, if you like, to actually move on to doing blue

:23:53. > :23:55.light training and then that We just couldn't, as

:23:56. > :24:01.an Ambulance Service Trust, sanction anything really

:24:02. > :24:07.like that, no. During our investigation,

:24:08. > :24:10.we were contacted on social media by several existing members of staff

:24:11. > :24:14.at the Private Ambulance Service. So, I can see a bug there

:24:15. > :24:21.on the floor of some description. That could be a used

:24:22. > :24:30.sheet on the stretcher. So what's happened here is they've

:24:31. > :24:33.come into work and they've found And there's another picture

:24:34. > :24:44.of some form of insect. I mean, the patient that's got

:24:45. > :24:50.to ride in that ambulance has the right for that ambulance to be

:24:51. > :24:53.clean and in a condition that is Patient Transport Services move some

:24:54. > :25:02.very ill and vulnerable people. So anything in there that could be

:25:03. > :25:05.a source of infection could get into somebody's system

:25:06. > :25:07.and could harm them. So, I can see what looks

:25:08. > :25:15.like a two-person carry chair, and by the looks of it,

:25:16. > :25:19.the foot strap is broken. I guess the issue with things

:25:20. > :25:22.like foot straps is it's not like moving parcels

:25:23. > :25:25.or pieces of equipment. When you move people,

:25:26. > :25:27.they're unpredictable. I think certainly there

:25:28. > :25:31.is a difficulty with the staff trying to perform things like manual

:25:32. > :25:35.handling and lifting If you drop someone's parcel,

:25:36. > :25:45.it doesn't matter, but if you drop someone's mother or their grandma,

:25:46. > :25:47.that's something that you can't take back,

:25:48. > :25:49.so the equipment needs to be safe. It's an absolute duty

:25:50. > :25:52.on the employer to make sure the equipment they provide

:25:53. > :25:58.is in safe working order. The Care Quality Commission told us

:25:59. > :26:00.it found poor standards in infection control,

:26:01. > :26:03.staff not having enough time between shifts,

:27:23. > :27:27.aren't learned from his death. I'm concerned for other patients,

:27:28. > :27:31.because Gary's situation, it was quite obvious

:27:32. > :27:33.he was suffering from chest pain, he should have been transported

:27:34. > :27:37.to hospital, and this is just a simple thing that

:27:38. > :27:39.shouldn't have happened. There could be other patients

:28:16. > :28:20.years and I can back up the claims. I had been trained to drive under

:28:21. > :28:26.blue lights, but when I was assessed at the company, I was more qualified

:28:27. > :28:31.than the assessor. William says, your claims are quite correct, I had

:28:32. > :28:37.no driving training and I was expected to blue light immediately.

:28:38. > :28:42.I voiced my concerns as a retired police traffic officer, and I left

:35:11. > :35:13.murders in British history. Daniel Morgan was a private

:35:14. > :35:15.detective working in London. 30 years ago, in 1987,

:35:16. > :35:18.he was found dead in a pub car park in Sydenham,

:35:39. > :35:40.of the World journalists. It's thought that Mr Morgan

:35:41. > :35:43.was ready to expose Despite five police investigations,

:35:44. > :35:46.no-one has been successfully The family wanted an

:35:47. > :35:52.independent inquiry. They fear a corrupt police

:35:53. > :35:55.officer may be connected As Home Secretary, Theresa May

:35:56. > :36:00.was the only minister in 25 years In 2013 she set up an expert panel,

:36:01. > :36:06.investigating the role of corrupt police, and their relationships

:36:07. > :36:10.with journalists and But Daniel's brother,

:36:11. > :36:15.Alastair Morgan, says its work has been delayed due to what he called

:36:16. > :36:17.a "lack of full The Metropolitan Police said this

:36:18. > :36:23.was an exceptionally complex process, and they were working

:36:24. > :36:26.closely with the panel. Daniel Morgan's brother

:36:27. > :36:33.Alistair, who is here, believes police corruption prevented

:36:34. > :36:35.Scotland Yard from ever He is calling on Theresa May not

:36:36. > :36:41.to drop so-called Leveson 2 Alongside Alastair Morgan

:36:42. > :36:50.is Professor Tim Luckhurst, who's Professor of Journalism

:36:51. > :36:55.at the University of Kent who doesn't believe there's any

:36:56. > :37:03.need for a Leveson 2. The government is weighing this up,

:37:04. > :37:09.why do you think the government should go ahead? We have this

:37:10. > :37:12.enquiry looking into my brother's murder. When I accepted this

:37:13. > :37:19.proposal from the Home Secretary that this should be looked into in

:37:20. > :37:24.this way, I had, in the back of my mind, the firm idea that Leveson two

:37:25. > :37:28.was going to take place. And because a panel does not have statutory

:37:29. > :37:34.powers, it cannot subpoena witnesses, it cannot order them to

:37:35. > :37:43.give evidence or disclose papers or anything like that. I thought that

:37:44. > :37:48.if there were areas the panel could not deal with because they did not

:37:49. > :37:57.have the powers, then Leveson two would be available afterwards after

:37:58. > :38:02.a kind of backstop, if you like. Is that, bearing in mind, the cost of a

:38:03. > :38:06.potential Leveson two, running into the millions, is that the right way

:38:07. > :38:16.forward to try to find out what happened to your brother? Well, as I

:38:17. > :38:23.said it is a backstop. If the panel cannot get answers to seven very

:38:24. > :38:30.important questions, then this would be a means of doing that. I also

:38:31. > :38:35.think that Leveson two, the issue of journalists and the police has not

:38:36. > :38:41.been dealt with fully by leather someone. I know from my brother's

:38:42. > :38:46.case, there are areas that need to be looked into. Professor Lott

:38:47. > :38:54.cursed, it would be worth reminding our audience what Leveson two is

:38:55. > :38:59.meant to be? It is about regulation of the British press, it is a

:39:00. > :39:02.successor to Leveson one. Looking into relationships in the past

:39:03. > :39:07.between British journalist and the police. It is an aspect some people

:39:08. > :39:11.think it is worth pursuing. These relationships were very long time

:39:12. > :39:17.ago, there have been many enquiries into the conduct of the police since

:39:18. > :39:21.1987. The police have reformed their actions, journalists have reformed

:39:22. > :39:26.also and there is no need for Leveson two on that basis. More

:39:27. > :39:29.importantly, Leveson one is a spectacular failure and there is no

:39:30. > :39:31.need for Leveson two on that basis. More importantly, Leveson one is a

:39:32. > :39:35.spectacular failure and the Isner public demand for there is nothing

:39:36. > :39:40.more to explain between the relationship between journalists and

:39:41. > :39:44.the police? It may in the past, on occasion have thrown up allegations

:39:45. > :39:48.of corruption, the proper way to investigate those is to criminal

:39:49. > :39:55.prosecutions and through the courts. Which has happened? Most of those

:39:56. > :39:59.cases has turned out not to convict jealous, although in some cases they

:40:00. > :40:05.have convicted police officers. That is the right way to do it. Let's

:40:06. > :40:09.remember the fundamental point. Journalists exist to find out things

:40:10. > :40:13.which powerful people don't want the public to know. That means

:40:14. > :40:18.journalists often do need to have police sources, the work with police

:40:19. > :40:27.sources often reveals information that is dramatically in the public

:40:28. > :40:32.interest. That is what the attempt to prosecute journalists discovered.

:40:33. > :40:35.Your worry is that Leveson two could potentially bring in further

:40:36. > :40:42.regulation of the press and you think it could be a bad thing? I

:40:43. > :40:47.have been a critic of this process from the beginning. It has failed to

:40:48. > :40:53.win their support of any substantial British newspaper. It is not

:40:54. > :40:57.surprising it failed to gain the support of any substantial British

:40:58. > :41:01.newspaper, is it? It was the Guardian that broke the bone hacking

:41:02. > :41:07.story. The Godding campaign year after year to bring back an enquiry.

:41:08. > :41:12.Also it is refusing to abide by the conclusions. Nobody from the left of

:41:13. > :41:15.the Guardian, right through to the Daily Mail on the right believes the

:41:16. > :41:19.proposals Lord Le the Sun put forward are worth accepting. But

:41:20. > :41:30.tells us something very interesting. You think it could lead to more...

:41:31. > :41:35.It is out of date and it is the problem on how the Internet treat

:41:36. > :41:39.the news. Do you think that as a result of the criminal prosecutions

:41:40. > :41:42.of various public officials, members of the police service and

:41:43. > :41:49.journalists, that actually the media and the police have made significant

:41:50. > :41:55.changes to the way they operate? I don't really know about that, but

:41:56. > :42:01.what I am sure of, is that they haven't really got to the bottom of

:42:02. > :42:04.this. Leveson one didn't get to the bottom of the relationship between

:42:05. > :42:10.the press and the police, I am quite sure of that. Do you think Leveson

:42:11. > :42:16.two would? I think the police have been seriously compromised at a high

:42:17. > :42:20.level why their interaction with journalists in the past. This has

:42:21. > :42:25.not been examined properly. We will find out what Theresa May is going

:42:26. > :42:27.to do in the next few weeks. Thank you both very much.

:44:46. > :44:56.In April last year, she announced her pregnancy. My husband and I, my

:44:57. > :45:02.husband and I are planning a family so I am going to have to delay the

:45:03. > :45:07.tour. Please try and understand it is important I do this now. I have

:45:08. > :45:12.di Resta, Doctor's orders. But I have not forgotten about you. I will

:45:13. > :45:17.continue the tour as soon as I possibly can.

:45:18. > :45:19.Her birth is reported to have been "stress free" and "healthy" -

:45:20. > :45:33.You had your daughter at 51, tell us about the reaction from people when

:45:34. > :45:40.you had a baby at nearly 51. It was universally thrilled for me. Nobody

:45:41. > :45:46.raised their eyebrows and said, how old will you be on the school run? I

:45:47. > :45:49.did not notice any negative reaction until I wrote about it in the

:45:50. > :45:55.Guardian. Then there were lots of very miserable people who expressed

:45:56. > :46:00.themselves rather horribly. In the comments section. Give us a flavour,

:46:01. > :46:09.without giving them too much publicity. There was some miserable

:46:10. > :46:13.20-something who probably never did anything other than have children,

:46:14. > :46:19.who said, this is distorting, revolting, etc. But for years on, I

:46:20. > :46:24.have forgotten all of them. It is the most wonderful thing, the most

:46:25. > :46:28.magical thing I have ever done. Slightly grumpy for your rod running

:46:29. > :46:33.around behind me, she says she does not want to be on television, so we

:46:34. > :46:42.may have to coax her out, so you can meet Sadie. I don't blame her, to be

:46:43. > :46:50.honest. Tell us how you managed to become pregnant. Thanks to miracles

:46:51. > :46:54.of IVF. Did you have a number of attempts before a successful

:46:55. > :47:02.pregnancy? Yes, Sadie was the last roll of the dice. I honestly had

:47:03. > :47:07.rolled out -- ruled out the enterprise as a financial scam.

:47:08. > :47:10.There were two macro financial -- frozen embryos at their clinic in

:47:11. > :47:16.Barcelona, and they had extended the deadline by three months. They

:47:17. > :47:23.allowed me to go up to the age of 51, and I had just passed 51, so I

:47:24. > :47:25.did not know what got me to book that last flight to Barcelona, but I

:47:26. > :47:28.am glad that I did. We can speak to Sue Tollefsen

:47:29. > :47:32.who became Britain's oldest first-time mum when she gave birth

:47:33. > :47:46.to her only child I am sorry, it is Sarah. You gave

:47:47. > :47:50.birth at the age of 50. How are you? Quite a lot of people would expect

:47:51. > :47:56.it to be more tiring to be a mother for the first time at 50, is that

:47:57. > :48:06.true or not? I don't find that it is true. I try to stay fit and active.

:48:07. > :48:11.It depends a lot on your attitude. If you think you can do it, you can.

:48:12. > :48:17.Tell us about your circumstances leading to your pregnancy. I spent

:48:18. > :48:28.many years trying to get pregnant, almost six. I met my husband later

:48:29. > :48:32.on in life. In the end, I did it in Spain with a donor egg, but we had

:48:33. > :48:38.many attempts, there were many failed attempts. Describe your joy

:48:39. > :48:43.when finally there is a successful pregnancy after a number of

:48:44. > :48:51.attempts. It is indescribable. I will ask you to describe it, I am

:48:52. > :49:01.sorry! Disbelief, happiness, I was ecstatic. At the same time

:49:02. > :49:04.cautiously optimistic, because I knew getting pregnant was not the

:49:05. > :49:14.whole story, I needed to stay pregnant. When Andre was born and

:49:15. > :49:19.came into the world healthy, I was over the moon. You will not want to

:49:20. > :49:23.give any advice for Janet Jackson, but I will ask you anyway, what

:49:24. > :49:30.would you say to somebody giving birth at 50?

:49:31. > :49:44.Enjoyed it. Follow your own path. Have fun and enjoy every second.

:49:45. > :49:51.Naomi, can I ask you the same question? You are going to get a lot

:49:52. > :49:57.of unsolicited advice. Ignore whatever you want to ignore. Trust

:49:58. > :50:06.your instincts. This is going to be the one thing... Nobody tells a

:50:07. > :50:10.childless person how much fun it is. It is exhausting, but it is a lot of

:50:11. > :50:15.fun. I am sure Joe Jackson has the money to pay for a lot of help. The

:50:16. > :50:19.advice I would give her is to spend as much time as she can with her

:50:20. > :50:25.son, because it is the most wonderful, interesting thing you

:50:26. > :50:34.will ever do. What is Sadie bashing in the background? She has turned a

:50:35. > :50:38.toy on. That is a screen that says, no way am I doing what you want at

:50:39. > :50:48.this moment! She is very much her own person!

:50:49. > :50:50.Just before Christmas, we were telling you what was happening

:50:51. > :50:56.in the besieged Syrian city of Eastern Aleppo on a daily basis -

:50:57. > :50:58.at the time people were living under daily bomb attacks and waiting

:50:59. > :51:02.But after the fragile government ceasefire, news

:51:03. > :51:10.We'll speak to people who've left shortly -

:51:11. > :52:06.but first here's a reminder of the events in Aleppo.

:52:07. > :52:13.The situation inside of Aleppo is the doomsday.

:52:14. > :52:16.Every day dozens of people are dying, that's continuously.

:52:17. > :52:25.I might die just now, whilst speaking to you.

:52:26. > :52:30.The situation now is getting horrifically intensified.

:52:31. > :52:38.No one can imagine what happened inside Aleppo,

:52:39. > :52:45.We hope to have a ceasefire soon because those people

:52:46. > :53:04.It's catastrophe, the situation, it's a real catastrophe.

:53:05. > :53:07.Zouhir, are you comfortable with continuing to talk to us,

:53:08. > :53:15.I can't move anywhere else, there's nowhere else is safe

:53:16. > :53:24.This is a shame on the world, because it is 2016 and people

:53:25. > :53:27.are getting burned to death, and suffocated to death,

:53:28. > :56:26.Let's talk now to our correspondent Lina Sinjab in Beirut.

:56:27. > :56:34.We are speaking now to the freelance journalist we spoke to before

:56:35. > :56:36.Christmas. You got out on the 19th of December, what were the last few

:56:37. > :56:54.days like? We were evacuated, the last day was

:56:55. > :57:04.horrible. Even though there was no shelling. People were executed and

:57:05. > :57:20.were taken as hostages. It was chaos, people were covering in one

:57:21. > :57:24.area. There was no organisation from the Red Crescent or the Red Cross,

:57:25. > :57:44.they were struggling to organise the mob. People were waiting to get the

:57:45. > :57:49.bus. It was quite bad. We were waiting for quite a long time, it

:57:50. > :57:59.was freezing, and even after we got the bus, hours of waiting, we waited

:58:00. > :58:10.for another 12 or 13 hours on the buses. There were negotiations with

:58:11. > :58:17.the Russian and a radiant militias about evacuating the injured people.

:58:18. > :58:31.They were compromising about us leaving. After struggling for a long

:58:32. > :58:35.day, we have our life back. You still in touch with people who are

:58:36. > :58:44.still in eastern Aleppo? If so, what are they saying see you?

:58:45. > :58:52.Yes, there are people who were brought back to their home. Many of

:58:53. > :58:57.them were scared to be back in the East, but quite a few of them have

:58:58. > :59:13.gone onto the street. The regime have raided the houses,

:59:14. > :59:24.they have taken every piece of furniture, every machine. If it was

:59:25. > :59:29.the owner himself, they would take him out. They would take everything.

:59:30. > :59:38.And beating them as well. People were taken and arrested in

:59:39. > :59:55.the East and West. Until the age of 50, they were

:59:56. > :59:59.arrested because of their relationship with the opposition,

:00:00. > :00:21.activists or relatives. It was for the regime forces and

:00:22. > :00:25.militias to take anyone. Taking them and putting them in jail. It was

:00:26. > :00:44.chaos. Which thank you for talking to us.

:00:45. > :00:54.If it is OK, we will come back to you for states. He is now in Idlib,

:00:55. > :00:59.having been evacuated from Eastern Aleppo just before Christmas. It is

:01:00. > :01:03.coming up to 10am and we will have the latest news and sport, but

:01:04. > :01:09.before that we will have the weather with Carol.

:01:10. > :01:16.It is going to turn colder, widespread frost away from the coast

:01:17. > :01:20.and the fact it is cold today indicate we have clearer skies and

:01:21. > :01:26.some sunshine. We also have this weather from moving steadily south

:01:27. > :01:32.and westwards in the direction of the surplus producing thick cloud

:01:33. > :01:37.and spots of rain. Cold air is feeding in. It will continue to feed

:01:38. > :01:41.in behind it. The other thing we have today is strong wind coming

:01:42. > :01:46.down this North Sea coastline. If you are exposed to that it will feel

:01:47. > :01:50.cold and it will generate some large waves. Wintry showers getting in

:01:51. > :01:54.behind Aberdeenshire, Shetland in particular but some rain showers

:01:55. > :01:58.getting in across parts of Norfolk. For the rest of us, as the weather

:01:59. > :02:04.front continues to drift towards the south-west, a fair bit of cloud,

:02:05. > :02:07.patchy rain and maybe drizzle. But even so it will break here and there

:02:08. > :02:13.are allowing sunny spells. Sunshine across parts of East Anglia along

:02:14. > :02:18.with the showers and as we had further north across further England

:02:19. > :02:21.-- northern England. In the far North East we will see the wintry

:02:22. > :02:25.showers but they will be hit and miss. It will brighten up nicely

:02:26. > :02:29.across southern parts of Northern Ireland as we go through the day. It

:02:30. > :02:32.is the same to south Wales, the brightness streaming in across the

:02:33. > :02:37.North as the weather front continues into part of the Midlands and also

:02:38. > :02:40.down into the south-west England. Here too, some patchy rain. Under

:02:41. > :02:47.those clear skies in the evening that bridges will drop rapidly. By

:02:48. > :02:51.night, there is a lot of blue on the charts. In towns and cities, those

:02:52. > :02:58.are the times of temperature values. In rural areas, we're looking at

:02:59. > :03:00.temperatures as low as minus six and possibly minus seven. Widespread

:03:01. > :03:03.frost away from the coast first thing tomorrow morning. The remnants

:03:04. > :03:09.of the weather front affecting surplus tingling, temperature and

:03:10. > :03:14.Northern Ireland. But for the rest of us, a cold day and a crisp and

:03:15. > :03:18.sunny one. But later on the next set of other fronts waiting will come

:03:19. > :03:23.in, moving in from the heading steadily down to the south-east.

:03:24. > :03:29.Ahead of them there will be some frost and more fog around. Here

:03:30. > :03:33.comes the rain steadily southwards, winds around it and then a return to

:03:34. > :03:37.brighter conditions, but nonetheless there will still be some showers

:03:38. > :03:41.around. Starting to turn milder from the North as we go of the day,

:03:42. > :03:45.unless you are in Norwich, where it will still be chilly. It leads us

:03:46. > :03:49.into a mild and settled weekend as well.

:03:50. > :04:00.How Britain's outgoing ambassador to the EU describes

:04:01. > :04:16.This programme has discovered that some staff at a private ambulance

:04:17. > :04:18.company have had as little as one hour's training

:04:19. > :04:28.He didn't tell me what to do or anything like that. He just gave me

:04:29. > :04:34.everything, said put the blue lights on and off you go, sort of thing.

:04:35. > :04:40.That is astonishing. It is astonishing. If you work for a

:04:41. > :04:47.private ambulance company, let us know. And the former CIA man who

:04:48. > :04:49.came face-to-face with Saddam Hussein after he was captured in

:04:50. > :04:56.2003. Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom

:04:57. > :04:59.with the latest BBC News. Britain's outgoing ambassador

:05:00. > :05:01.to the European Union, Sir Ivan Rogers, has strongly

:05:02. > :05:03.criticised the government's In his resignation letter,

:05:04. > :05:06.Sir Ivan urged British colleagues in Brussels to challenge

:05:07. > :05:08."muddled thinking and The government said he had stood

:05:09. > :05:12.down so a successor could be in place before Brexit

:05:13. > :05:18.negotiations started. This programme has learned that

:05:19. > :05:22.former drivers for a private ambulance firm that provides

:05:23. > :05:24.emergency cover for the NHS, say they were given just an hour's

:05:25. > :05:27.training to drive under blue lights. A company based in Essex called

:05:28. > :05:30.the 'Private Ambulance Service' is contracted to respond

:05:31. > :05:33.to emergencies during busy times. Whistleblowers have

:05:34. > :05:36.also told us that some equipment in the ambulances

:05:37. > :05:40.is in poor condition. The company says the level

:05:41. > :05:59.of training of its staff exceeds I never had any induction

:06:00. > :06:06.overtraining. Just send out. No induction overtraining? No, it was

:06:07. > :06:09.clear I was working with people, not through their own faults, not

:06:10. > :06:13.trained, and not confident with dealing with situations. Coming

:06:14. > :06:15.across what we call running calls, so you come across a patient. Few

:06:16. > :06:20.staff did know how to respond. The rail union Aslef says

:06:25. > :06:28.by cancellations and delays for months as the two sides wrangle

:06:29. > :06:31.over pay, jobs and conditions. However Aslef also said this

:06:32. > :06:32.morning that there's still a likelihood

:06:33. > :06:40.of further action. An Israeli military court has

:06:41. > :06:42.convicted a soldier of manslaughter for killing a wounded Palestinian

:06:43. > :06:48.who had stabbed another soldier. Sergeant Elor Azaria, who's now 20,

:08:23. > :08:26.They play arch rivals Tottenham at White Hart Lane tonight.

:08:27. > :08:29.A win would extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points.

:08:30. > :08:32.If Chelsea do win, this is something that hasn't happened since top

:08:33. > :08:34.flight football was first played in 1888.

:08:35. > :08:48.There have been a few teams who have managed 14 wins on the bounce.

:08:49. > :08:52.But their run spanned two seasons - 2001-02 and the following year.

:08:53. > :08:54.50 years before that, Preston North End did

:08:55. > :09:00.Bristol City did it in the Second Division way back in 1905 -

:09:01. > :09:01.they only conceded one goal all season.

:09:02. > :09:04.And the season before, also in the Second Division,

:09:05. > :09:06.Manchester United put together 14 wins in a row, but remarkably

:09:07. > :09:08.only finished third, and missed out on promotion.

:09:09. > :09:12.So can Tottenham stop Chelsea joining them tonight?

:09:13. > :09:18.I think there is a bit of extra spice on this. What happened at

:09:19. > :09:23.Stamford Bridge at the end of last season. Chelsea remaining

:09:24. > :09:26.Tottenham's chances of winning the Premier League. But Chelsea beat

:09:27. > :09:31.them earlier this season. Tottenham will want to spoil the party. It is

:09:32. > :09:34.not often a lot of revenge in football because Time moves on in

:09:35. > :09:38.football and players change but these are the same set of players

:09:39. > :09:44.and Tottenham will be desperate to stop them getting the record.

:09:45. > :09:47.There was a remarkable comeback from Arsenal last night,

:09:48. > :09:50.who scored three goals in the last 20 minutes, to earn a 3-3

:09:51. > :09:54.Eddie Howe's side were in complete control as they led 3-0, Ryan Fraser

:09:55. > :09:57.But Arsenal fought back, and a stoppage-time header

:09:58. > :10:04.from Olivier Giroud completed the turnaround.

:10:05. > :10:08.Just watch the celebration. He is very nimble on his feet.

:10:09. > :10:11.Mike Phelan is the latest Premier League manager to be sacked,

:11:15. > :11:19.has worked hard and to get into the England side is to be very fit. Not

:11:20. > :11:23.playing games means he has got to undergo an unbelievably stringent

:11:32. > :11:32.putting himself in the best putting it -- position to continue as

:11:33. > :11:37.captain. That is all the sport. Up until yesterday the UK's

:11:38. > :11:40.ambassador to the EU was a man But then he resigned,

:11:41. > :11:43.which was a surprise, not least because the UK

:11:44. > :11:45.starts its talks for exiting the European Union after Article 50

:11:46. > :11:48.is triggered, which we know will be And Sir Ivan, an experienced

:11:52. > :11:55.to his staff explaining why he'd stepped down,

:11:56. > :11:57.referred to "muddled thinking". It also spoke of

:11:58. > :11:58."ill-founded arguments". And he urged his staff

:11:59. > :12:02.to "speak truth to power", which sort of implies

:12:03. > :12:04.that the advice he'd been giving to Downing Street had

:12:05. > :12:06.fallen on deaf ears. So what does all this mean

:12:07. > :12:33.for Brexit negotiations? Let's speak to our guests. Did he

:12:34. > :12:38.jump, or was he pushed? Having had the chance to read the e-mail you

:12:39. > :12:41.referred to overnight, a man who has been in this game for a very long

:12:42. > :12:45.time, understands what will be most useful and helpful for the Prime

:12:58. > :13:00.in October, and his number two said she would be leaving the team to

:13:01. > :13:04.work for the Welsh government. He has seen that looking forward the

:13:05. > :13:09.best thing Theresa May could have at her disposal for these discussions

:13:10. > :13:15.is a full team who will be there for the duration. Wasn't he expected to

:13:16. > :13:19.have is contract extended? I'm not sure that is the right terminology

:13:20. > :13:25.for the diplomatic service! The view was, he had been in post for a while

:13:26. > :13:29.and he had planned to have, whether he is retiring going back into the

:13:30. > :13:33.private sector, I have no idea. But his message is clear he wanted to

:13:34. > :13:37.see a team in place that would be able to drive forward, a complex and

:13:38. > :13:45.detailed discussion over the next two. Jenny Chapman, according to

:13:46. > :13:48.Anne Marie, it was a very sensible decision and he took it in advance

:13:49. > :13:53.of his retirement so Theresa May could get the full team in place?

:13:54. > :14:01.That isn't what he said. He made it very clear in his e-mail that he is

:14:02. > :14:04.deeply troubled by the way the negotiation look as though they may

:14:05. > :14:13.be carried out. He could not have been more straightforward really.

:14:14. > :14:17.Quite transparent in his e-mail. Muddled thinking, he thinks the

:14:49. > :14:52.will having a faulty. He was watching and hoping that when he was

:14:53. > :14:56.leading discussions with David Cameron in February, to get is a

:14:57. > :15:00.good deal. I was hopeful that there was a good deal, we wouldn't need to

:15:01. > :15:05.leave because we would have a new relationship. But failed. What he

:15:06. > :15:11.highlighted in his letter, Whitehall really hadn't driven forwards. I was

:15:12. > :15:15.shocked when we got to the other side of Brexit, Whitehall hadn't

:15:16. > :15:19.prepared for what was a 50-50 chance of out or in, Whitehall assumed the

:15:20. > :15:23.British people would stay in. That was very muddled thinking in

:15:24. > :15:28.Whitehall and he has tried and then decided a new team need to take that

:15:29. > :15:32.on. I was not surprised by those words, but they reflect the

:15:33. > :15:37.Whitehall view that now needs to change, civil servants need and are

:15:38. > :15:41.coming together would Theresa May's new departments. Jenny Chapman, do

:15:42. > :15:42.you think the muddled thinking was referring to civil servants or the

:15:43. > :15:56.Prime Minister and those around her? You cannot just say Whitehall had to

:15:57. > :15:59.prepare for the possibility of a vote to leave. The Government should

:16:00. > :16:06.have required the civil service to do that. There was a long lead-in

:16:07. > :16:08.into the referendum, it had ample opportunity to do that, and the

:16:09. > :16:19.Government failed to pre-empt this outcome. It is negligent on the

:16:20. > :16:23.Government. What we have now is a task that we must undertake

:16:24. > :16:31.seriously and carefully, and we need our best negotiators to do this.

:16:42. > :16:46.experience and networks. That would have had a huge impact. We have now

:16:47. > :16:49.lost that, but we need to move forward, and the Government have to

:16:50. > :16:56.be much better in the way that it approaches Brexit. We should be much

:16:57. > :17:01.further forward by now, we should have much more clarity. British

:17:02. > :17:05.people are getting a bit fed up with the lack of information. This is

:17:06. > :17:07.another case of the Government not dealing with Brexit as well as it

:17:08. > :17:17.should. This programme has discovered that

:17:18. > :17:20.some staff at a private ambulance company have had as little as one

:17:48. > :17:49.and inappropriate equipment. The company denies the allegations,

:17:50. > :17:53.and says all its staff have Here's a short extract

:17:54. > :17:57.from our reporter James When we dial 999 for an emergency,

:17:58. > :18:14.most people expect NHS ambulances and their highly-trained crews

:18:15. > :18:19.to respond, but increasingly, as NHS trusts struggle to meet demand,

:18:20. > :18:22.private companies are stepping One of these companies

:18:23. > :18:29.is the Private Ambulance Service, which is based in Basildon,

:18:30. > :18:32.in Essex. It carries out work like taking

:18:33. > :18:35.patients to hospital appointments, transferring sick people

:18:36. > :18:38.between hospitals, and it also provides cover for 999 calls

:18:39. > :18:41.for the East of England NHS But whistle-blowers have told us

:18:42. > :18:47.staff aren't properly trained, and the equipment they use is not

:18:48. > :18:51.up to scratch. We've spoken to several people

:18:52. > :18:55.that work or have worked "Paul" would only speak to us

:18:56. > :19:01.if we disguised his identity. He worked for PAS as a medic,

:19:02. > :19:04.but lost his job last year. What was it like when you

:19:05. > :19:07.started working there? Surprising, I never had any

:19:08. > :19:10.induction or training. Pretty much just sent

:19:11. > :19:12.out and that was it. So you had no induction,

:19:13. > :19:14.no training? It was quite clear that

:19:15. > :19:18.I was working with people that, not through their own fault,

:19:19. > :19:20.that weren't trained. They weren't competent in the job,

:19:21. > :19:22.and they certainly weren't confident In particular, on the ambulance

:19:23. > :19:27.side, coming across what we call running calls, so you come

:19:28. > :19:30.across a patient, quite a few staff Didn't know how to take simple

:19:31. > :19:35.things like blood sugars, ECGs, didn't know how to do

:19:36. > :19:38.manual blood pressures. We started to hear more disturbing

:19:39. > :19:46.stories about a lack of basic training for staff

:19:47. > :19:50.at the Private Ambulance Service. Dan Duke worked at the company

:19:51. > :19:53.in patient transport until 2013, The job could require him to drive

:19:54. > :19:58.under blue lights when taking an emergency patient

:19:59. > :20:03.between different hospitals. What training were you actually

:20:04. > :20:05.given in order to drive One hour's training

:20:06. > :20:13.on blue lights, that's it. So, what is an acceptable level of

:20:14. > :20:23.training to drive under blue lights? In your opinion, would it be

:20:24. > :20:27.possible to train somebody to drive under blue lights with an hour,

:20:28. > :20:31.a day of training? The fact that our whole

:20:32. > :20:35.course is four weeks long, and the first two weeks

:20:36. > :20:38.are the foundation, if you like, to actually move on to doing blue

:20:39. > :20:41.light training and then that We just couldn't, as

:20:42. > :20:47.an Ambulance Service Trust, sanction anything really

:20:48. > :20:56.like that, no. We approached the Private Ambulance

:20:57. > :20:58.Service for an interview. The NHS East of England

:20:59. > :21:36.Ambulance Service, which uses the Private Ambulance Service

:21:37. > :21:39.to provide cover for We asked the Private Ambulance

:21:40. > :22:00.Service to talk to us But in a statement they told us

:22:01. > :22:05.they do not accept the nature of the allegations that

:22:06. > :22:06.have been made. And that, "We outsource our

:22:07. > :22:08.blue-light driver training to an approved training organisation

:22:09. > :22:11.used by the NHS. We started using our current

:22:12. > :22:15.provider in January 2016. All staff receive induction training

:22:16. > :22:21.and full training where necessary." Your experiences of private

:22:22. > :22:25.ambulances welcome as always. We can speak now to Alan Howson,

:22:26. > :22:27.executive chairman of the Independent Ambulance Association,

:22:28. > :22:30.who represents the Also to Will Broughton,

:22:31. > :22:35.a paramedic and a trustee And Heide Stone, who worked

:22:36. > :22:40.for the Private Ambulance Service from October 2014 to March 2015

:22:41. > :22:55.and claims she was What do you think? It is not

:22:56. > :22:59.acceptable that somebody would only have one hour's training for blue

:23:00. > :23:06.light work. But at the time that company were doing PTS work, this

:23:07. > :23:09.was not 999... Patient transport services, it was not 909 support

:23:10. > :23:16.work. The training is very different. But this was an hour's

:23:17. > :23:23.training for blue light work. Blue light work, as defined, it was not

:23:24. > :23:26.that work. He said he was called upon from time to time to deliver

:23:27. > :23:33.patients from one hospital to another, not emergency, dedicated

:23:34. > :23:39.patient. Why would you have the blue lights on? You might still have the

:23:40. > :23:45.blue light on to transfer a patient, it might also be an emergency. And

:23:46. > :23:49.that clearly is unacceptable. At the time the programme or three weeks in

:23:50. > :23:52.length, it is now four weeks, and that is a national reference

:23:53. > :23:57.programme. These people were not getting three weeks. Not by the

:23:58. > :24:03.sound of it, that is not acceptable, and we are not here to defend that.

:24:04. > :24:10.What do you think? I very much agree, what has been presented is

:24:11. > :24:14.totally unacceptable. We would expect anybody driving and billiards

:24:15. > :24:19.under emergency conditions to have completed the four week nationally

:24:20. > :24:26.approved programme. Which is what the NHS does. And which this company

:24:27. > :24:32.in Basildon now do as well, from November 20 16th they brought the

:24:33. > :24:35.four-week training in. Private companies who are subcontracted

:24:36. > :24:39.working into a framework set by the Anne Boleyn stressed, and that will

:24:40. > :24:44.include reference to clinical training and driver training. They

:24:45. > :24:51.will have to provide records that there staff have been trained and

:24:52. > :24:58.certificated to those levels. Jeff, can you hear me? Maybe we have lost

:24:59. > :25:02.him. We will try to get him back in a moment. He is the chairman of a

:25:03. > :25:05.private ambulance company in the east of England. He wants to defend

:25:06. > :25:13.the kind of work that these firms do. Many of these firms. Which you

:25:14. > :25:16.would echo, as boss of the Independent ambulance Association?

:25:17. > :25:24.One of our members are ventilated and registered with the CQC. -- all

:25:25. > :25:30.of our members. They can have spot inspections, unannounced visits to

:25:31. > :25:35.audit activity. In terms of the rules of training, it is vague. The

:25:36. > :25:46.NHS does four-week training, but it is not compulsory? My understanding

:25:47. > :25:51.is it is not yet legally required. But it is required by the NHS trusts

:25:52. > :25:59.that all of their own employees have completed the programme. It is a

:26:00. > :26:08.broad question, Private and villains firms, are they safe? Yes. --

:26:09. > :26:12.Private ambulance firms. They are regulated, they held up to the same

:26:13. > :26:20.criteria, so yes, they are safe. Would you agree? Yes, they are all

:26:21. > :26:22.registered with the CQC. The paramedics working in the

:26:23. > :26:28.independent sector are all registered with the council and they

:26:29. > :26:32.meet their standards of proficiency, any of whom honour those of the

:26:33. > :26:36.College of paramedics, and meet their requirements as well. The

:26:37. > :26:41.other claims that we heard from current and former employees were

:26:42. > :26:48.dirty vehicles and inadequate equipment. I know you will say that

:26:49. > :26:52.is unacceptable, but it is going on. Dirty vehicles are a fact of life,

:26:53. > :26:57.whether it is the independent sector or the NHS. If they have a bad

:26:58. > :27:02.incident and the vehicle needs a complete the clean, it usually is

:27:03. > :27:06.put to one side whilst 18 will address that, while another vehicle

:27:07. > :27:11.is prepared. They are given time at the beginning of their shift to

:27:12. > :27:17.check the vehicle over, to restock, to check the facilities are working.

:27:18. > :27:22.Being handed, if your vehicle is dirty, you would clean it if there

:27:23. > :27:25.was no other vehicle available. It is a rare occurrence, and there is a

:27:26. > :27:30.procedure for reporting it. Let me read messages. This from somebody

:27:31. > :27:36.who wishes to remain anonymous, I fear reprisals from these people, I

:27:37. > :27:41.am a former employee of the Private Ambulance Service in Basildon, I was

:27:42. > :27:44.a team leader and asked to make checks on the vehicles. Most of the

:27:45. > :27:47.crews worked long hours but still had a duty of care to clean the

:27:48. > :27:51.vehicles after use. Some were cleaned, some were not. I reported

:27:52. > :27:56.the crew started not clean but nothing came of it. The company

:27:57. > :28:00.floated the rules to the highest degree. Agreement that was faulty

:28:01. > :28:05.still got sent out. Whitman went missing, leaving vehicles without

:28:06. > :28:08.life-saving it went. Debbie says, I worked for this company and I am

:28:09. > :28:13.sorry to say I can back up everything. I left you to getting

:28:14. > :28:17.ill and management would not help with any changes in my hours.

:28:18. > :28:21.Phillips says, shocked and appalled that these staff are given a one

:28:22. > :28:27.hour crash course, this surely poses a serious threat to the ordinary

:28:28. > :28:35.road user, who undergoes a rigorous examination before going behind the

:28:36. > :28:44.wheel. We have got Jeff back now. He is on the phone. Can you hear us? I

:28:45. > :28:50.can. You run a private company. What did you make about the claims that

:28:51. > :28:58.one hour's driver training for driving under the light? It is

:28:59. > :29:04.unusual. Ours is three weeks. I don't understand how that can be

:29:05. > :29:10.allowed. The company denied the nature of our allegations. From

:29:11. > :29:15.November they changed the way they train their drivers, they now get

:29:16. > :29:19.the four weeks, which is mirrored across the NHS. Tel is about your

:29:20. > :29:27.company and the service you provide. We provide a debate range of

:29:28. > :29:31.services, from blue light and... -- bluelight ambulances to patient

:29:32. > :29:42.transfer services, to a number of trust. What you offer is necessary

:29:43. > :29:48.because... Explain why. Because the trust do not have enough resources

:29:49. > :29:57.to cope. There are holes in what they can do, which we can fill. Cost

:29:58. > :30:05.is strangling the trust. We can put ambulances on the road at between 60

:30:06. > :30:10.and 70% of their costs, simply because of the massive overhead the

:30:11. > :30:13.NHS has to carry. The couple more e-mails. Somebody who wishes to

:35:40. > :35:47.thought we were going to find him and I never thought we were ever

:35:48. > :35:51.going to meet. At first he was a little... He was much more in

:35:52. > :35:57.control of himself than I thought. For a person who had just had his

:35:58. > :36:00.world tipped upside down. He acted like he came here every Saturday

:36:01. > :36:06.night and the US military, who were his captors, where his guests and he

:36:07. > :36:11.was hosting them. In terms of what you needed to get out of him, what

:36:12. > :36:18.was your aim? Washington had a number of questions that they wanted

:36:19. > :36:24.answered quite away. I put those to him that first night, but afterwards

:36:25. > :36:29.we sat down for a more informal debriefing process. The number one

:36:30. > :36:33.question was, where was the weapons of mass destruction. That is what

:36:34. > :36:37.Washington wanted to know. After that, it was more of a series of

:36:38. > :36:48.other questions that we had in terms of links to various groups, what

:36:49. > :36:55.were his intentions in the war? The insurgency was also another very

:36:56. > :37:00.important topic and then questions I personally had in terms of having

:37:01. > :37:05.been an expert on him and tried to get at some of the questions we were

:37:06. > :37:09.thinking about when we started. When he asked him where the matter

:37:10. > :37:15.weapons of mass destruction were, what was his reply? He didn't have

:37:16. > :37:25.any, he didn't have an ongoing weapons programme and he didn't

:37:26. > :37:28.intend to start one. He is the most secretive and suspicious person I

:37:29. > :37:32.have ever met. It is hard to believe him because he is so secretive. You

:37:33. > :37:39.felt like he was holding back on you, even when he was telling the

:37:40. > :37:44.truth. I was wary of what he was saying. As we began to check out

:37:45. > :37:49.other things and talk to other members of the nuclear programme,

:37:50. > :37:54.senior officials in the nuclear programme, we began to find that he

:37:55. > :38:01.was actually telling the truth. Which is the irony, I suppose. One

:38:02. > :38:08.of many? Yes, he was his own worst enemy in that regard. How long did

:38:09. > :38:12.it take you until you are saying to your superiors back in Washington,

:38:13. > :38:20.he is telling the truth and there are no weapons of mass destruction?

:38:21. > :38:24.I returned back to Washington in January and the irony is, nobody

:38:25. > :38:33.really came to talk to me, except a few officials, sort of mid-level

:38:34. > :38:39.bureaucrats. That is when I said to them, I don't think he has them.

:38:40. > :38:42.Then I spoke to a few of my colleagues and we sort of huddled

:38:43. > :38:47.together and came to the conclusion. Some of these colleagues had a lot

:38:48. > :38:55.more knowledge of the technical aspect of weapons and nuclear

:38:56. > :39:01.material than I did. We all kind of agree, this was the case. You said

:39:02. > :39:06.you had some of your own personal questions, having been an expert on

:39:07. > :39:11.him, give us a flavour of the questions you have the opportunity

:39:12. > :39:15.to ask him? I was a leadership analyst. One of the things we used

:39:16. > :39:22.to do was write profiles on people. I asked him a lot of things about

:39:23. > :39:27.his life and his experiences. It was kind of fascinating to get it from

:39:28. > :39:35.the horses mouth, if you will. So many things I have read from other

:39:36. > :39:40.scholars turned out to be false. Even going back to his

:39:41. > :39:45.characterisation of his stepfather, who, I had always been told,

:39:46. > :39:54.mercilessly beat him, not treated and this is why he turned out to be

:39:55. > :39:59.the where he was. I asked him, what was your relationship like? He said,

:40:00. > :40:03.I loved my stepfather. He was the most wonderful man, he made me what

:40:04. > :40:10.I am today. If it wasn't for him, I would never have achieved anything.

:40:11. > :40:15.Did you ever feel sorry for him? Yes, there was a time we were

:40:16. > :40:19.talking, I don't recall what we were talking about, I remember looking

:40:20. > :40:28.down at his sandals that he was wearing and thinking, you know, you

:40:29. > :40:32.have done terrible things and I don't approve of your methods, but

:40:33. > :40:36.this was not for us to come here and take you out of power. It was for

:40:37. > :40:41.the Iraqi people to have chosen to do that. If they couldn't do that,

:40:42. > :40:47.maybe it was meant for you to stay in power. I felt that this was all

:40:48. > :40:50.wrong. Thank you very much for talking to us. Thank you for your

:40:51. > :40:56.time this morning. Thank you for having me. John Nixon, talking to us

:40:57. > :41:03.live from Washington. His book 'Debriefing

:41:04. > :41:10.the President' is out now. More on the breaking news that a

:41:11. > :41:17.six-day strike by drivers on Southern rail has been cut to three

:41:18. > :41:21.days. Richard Wescott is here. Why? Don't get too excited. My suspicion

:41:22. > :41:26.is they were just announced those days further down the line. As I

:41:27. > :41:29.understand it, we have spoken to drivers off the record and they are

:41:30. > :41:34.not getting paid for each strike day. So potentially losing six days

:41:35. > :41:38.pay in January after Christmas is not a great thing for any union to

:41:39. > :41:44.do to its members. I am not saying that is the reason, but it could be.

:41:45. > :41:48.It doesn't mean there is any breakthrough. Informal talks

:41:49. > :41:53.yesterday, no plans to talk today or in the future. No closer to coming

:41:54. > :41:58.to a solution. I cannot see this ending any time soon. I suspect this

:41:59. > :42:02.is just moving three days further down the line. Just remind people

:42:03. > :42:08.what this dispute is over? It is about the role of guards on trains.

:42:09. > :42:15.But the problem is, what will happen here will happen on all rail

:42:16. > :42:19.franchises across the country. It is all about driver only operated

:42:20. > :42:23.trains, already half of services run that way and they want to bring in

:42:24. > :42:26.more. The unions see that as a threat to safety and the threat to

:42:27. > :42:31.their staff as well. This is a line in the sand, because what happens on

:42:32. > :42:36.Southern could be repeated all over the country. You suspect cutting it

:42:37. > :42:38.to three days just means they will move three days to a different

:42:39. > :42:44.month, more strikes potentially after that? Potentially, there is no

:42:45. > :42:48.rule on how many they can call. As long as they give the statutory

:42:49. > :42:53.notice, which is seven days, they can keep calling strikes. They had a

:42:54. > :42:55.vote and got the mandate. This could go on and on, potentially. Thank

:42:56. > :43:01.you, Richard. The 1960's mass murderer

:43:02. > :43:03.Charles Manson has been taken to hospital from high-security

:43:04. > :43:05.prison in California. It's not yet clear

:43:06. > :43:07.why the 82-year-old - who is serving nine concurrent life

:43:08. > :43:13.sentences - has been hospitalised. Manson, a cult leader,

:43:14. > :43:18.sent a group of his indoctrinated followers,

:43:19. > :43:19.known as the Family, to the home of heavily pregnant

:43:20. > :43:22.Hollywood actress Sharon Tate She and four others

:43:23. > :43:27.were stabbed to death. Let's get more insight into the man

:43:28. > :43:30.and why he's so notorious. Professor Craig Jackson is Head

:43:31. > :43:34.of Psychology at Birmingham City university and specialises

:43:35. > :43:46.in mass and serial murders. We don't know the reasons for this

:43:47. > :43:51.hospitalisation, but he is 82 and has been in jail for a long time.

:43:52. > :43:58.Let's go back to the 60s and what he did, what he ordered and the

:43:59. > :44:02.reaction around the world? Charles Manson is famous for being

:44:03. > :44:07.associated with the Sharon Tate murders. Essentially, he and his

:44:08. > :44:13.calls, his family were convicted for nine murders in 1969. But the

:44:14. > :44:20.pathology of Manson goes back much further. He had been in and out of

:44:21. > :44:26.state and federal prisons throughout his adolescence and early 20s for a

:44:27. > :44:30.variety of pimping, using guns for violence and robbery. This was a

:44:31. > :44:36.month up by 32 years of age had spent more than half his life in the

:44:37. > :44:38.federal prison system. He was a very troubled individual before the

:44:39. > :44:48.infamous Sharon Tate murders occurred. Tell us more about the

:44:49. > :44:53.cult and the family? He was a very disordered individual but was able

:44:54. > :44:59.to be charismatic. He had been on the fringes of the Californian music

:45:00. > :45:04.scene and was into the free love and drug-taking and dropout society. He

:45:05. > :45:08.tried to write a few pop songs and befriend musicians and people in the

:45:09. > :45:13.entertainment industry. Was very frustrated that kind of career never

:45:14. > :45:18.talk. His attempt to rehabilitate himself from his criminal past. He

:45:19. > :45:26.was very deluded, was suffering from severe psychoses. His distance from

:45:27. > :45:31.what we would see as normal life, partially because of his years in

:45:32. > :45:35.prison, from alcohol and drug abuse. His delusions began to take over his

:45:36. > :45:40.life and normality began to be very, very small.

:45:41. > :45:46.He had great believes in the helter-skelter, he seemed to believe

:45:47. > :45:52.that some kind of apocalyptic race war would be coming. He wanted his

:45:53. > :45:57.cold to commit a series of crimes that would hopefully in his eyes be

:45:58. > :46:01.blamed on black people, specially on the growing black power movement,

:46:02. > :46:06.which would facilitate the race war that he said would be inevitable.

:46:07. > :46:09.In the event of a terrorist attack in Britain we're told to run

:46:10. > :46:14.If we can't we should hide and call the emergency services once safe.

:46:15. > :46:16.But now military and security experts want us

:46:17. > :46:21.They want us to learn some basic first aid to help anyone injured.

:46:22. > :46:25.The team have developed an app called Citizenaid,

:46:26. > :46:28.which is a step-by-step guide to saving lives if the worst case

:46:29. > :46:36.We will discuss this more and have a live demonstration

:46:37. > :46:38.of basic first-aid treatment in just a moment.

:46:39. > :46:40.But first, watch this - it's a dramatisation of a terror

:46:41. > :46:48.What you will see next is a reconstruction and I should say

:46:49. > :46:52.some of you might find it upsetting - it lasts around 90 seconds.

:46:53. > :46:54.It was filmed on a set developed by ex-SAS personnel

:46:55. > :47:44.Yes, a shooting, there's a gunman in the street.

:47:45. > :48:10.The app says cap the wound and then put pressure on the wound.

:48:11. > :48:17.Keep the hand elevated, above the heart.

:48:18. > :48:20.Let's talk now to Brigadier Tim Hodgetts from the Defence Medical

:48:21. > :48:24.Services and Andrew Thurgood, a consultant emergency nurse.

:48:25. > :48:28.They both developed the CitizenAid app and will be demonstrating

:48:29. > :48:32.some of the potentially life-saving first-aid techniques.

:48:33. > :48:34.Richard Harding is head of the National Counter

:48:35. > :48:39.And we can also speak to Paul Dadge, who was on the train behind

:48:40. > :48:45.the Edgware Road bombing on July 7th.

:48:46. > :48:49.He helped victim Davinia Turrell, holding a mask over her burned face.

:48:50. > :48:52.It was one of the most-widely used images of the aftermath

:48:53. > :49:08.Let's talk about why this app might be useful in a particular scenario.

:49:09. > :49:14.I cannot imagine getting my phone out in the middle of some kind of

:49:15. > :49:19.attack and looking on an app. You are right, if you are in the heat of

:49:20. > :49:26.having to run away and hide and escape, that is not the time to get

:49:27. > :49:29.it out. We are talking about following the national police

:49:30. > :49:33.guidance, to run, hide and tell. Once you are in the safe place, you

:49:34. > :49:41.can then get out the app or the paper version and treat the patient.

:49:42. > :49:48.What kind of injuries are you giving advice about treating? We identify

:49:49. > :49:52.for different scenarios, one is an unexploded bomb, and an exploded

:49:53. > :49:56.bomb, then there is the active shooter and the knife attacker.

:49:57. > :50:01.There are different wind types that you see with gunshot and blast. But

:50:02. > :50:07.in terms of treatment it is about stopping the external bleeding. We

:50:08. > :50:10.know that in terms of avoidable deaths on the battlefield they are

:50:11. > :50:17.often attributed to external bleeding from limbs. But if we

:50:18. > :50:20.empower the bystander, the public, if we give them simple skills that

:50:21. > :50:25.they can apply in the first few minutes, they can save lives. We

:50:26. > :50:30.have demonstrated this statistically, we have had an

:50:31. > :50:35.increasing number of unexpected survivors in recent military

:50:36. > :50:37.campaigns because we have pushed skills and knowledge and simple

:50:38. > :50:42.equipment for forward. The slightly different thing in the civilian

:50:43. > :50:48.setting is you might not have equipment. Therefore, it is OK to

:50:49. > :50:52.improvise. We have within the app the opportunity to use equipment if

:50:53. > :50:57.you have it, but if you don't, it is still OK to improvise, and we show

:50:58. > :51:01.how you can pack a wind, press into the wind, elevate the bleeding limb,

:51:02. > :51:07.and then move on, using everyday clothing or household items. Andrew,

:51:08. > :51:12.helped him show us what you have and how you might be able to improvise

:51:13. > :51:19.in a scenario. We have rehearsed this! If you are going to practice a

:51:20. > :51:25.tourniquet, don't practice on each other. You can make a very simple

:51:26. > :51:28.limb yourself. Two rolled up magazine is inside a rolled up

:51:29. > :51:35.towel, shocked and he tries alike. We don't want to produce any harm

:51:36. > :51:39.when you don't need the tourniquet. You apply a tourniquet to a real

:51:40. > :51:43.person when they have bleeding that cannot be controlled by any other

:51:44. > :51:49.means. Nobody will spend time making that. But tell me again. A couple of

:51:50. > :51:56.magazines inside a towel, shot down a trouser leg. If you practice on

:51:57. > :52:04.yourself, it hurts. It is a key safety message. This is a leg. With

:52:05. > :52:13.a wound, we but start packing it with what is available. Use a sock

:52:14. > :52:18.to start. Packing, you have to fill the wound, you press hard. If it is

:52:19. > :52:22.a small wound you can press with your fingertips, if it is bigger

:52:23. > :52:30.with your knuckles or fingertips -- list. That is to stop the blood

:52:31. > :52:35.flowing. You don't let go. If you can, you also elevate it. If

:52:36. > :52:41.packing, pressure and elevation is not enough, and you still have

:52:42. > :52:48.life-threatening reading's bleeding, you move to your improvised

:52:49. > :53:00.tourniquet. Anti-war demonstrator. You can use a scarf, tie or belt. I

:53:01. > :53:03.have used a belt myself, a couple of years later he won a gold medal at

:53:04. > :53:13.the Paralympics, so these things do work. You have just tied a scarf

:53:14. > :53:20.around the lake. How tight? Not that you will spend much time considering

:53:21. > :53:25.that! We would use a spoon, I will pop it into the knot, tie it nicely

:53:26. > :53:32.in place, the knot holds the spoon in place. If there is not a spoon,

:53:33. > :53:38.scissors, a fork, a screwdriver, any straight device. If you cut in the

:53:39. > :53:43.basement, there is your nozzle. I am turning the pressure. When the

:53:44. > :53:50.bleeding stops, I don't need to turn anymore. That is useful. We have a

:53:51. > :53:57.tie, a belt, all of those other implements, the Sox, what is that?

:53:58. > :54:01.That is another scarf. If the first tourniquet does not stop the

:54:02. > :54:05.bleeding, you put a second just above it and do the same. Sometimes,

:54:06. > :54:11.with a big fight, you need a broader band. One tourniquet might not be

:54:12. > :54:16.enough. Two side-by-side gives a broader band. You have the

:54:17. > :54:22.experience as a nurse and from the military. Paul, you have been in the

:54:23. > :54:32.middle of an attack. How are you? Very well. What do you think of this

:54:33. > :54:37.idea? It put into an app the common-sense initiative that many

:54:38. > :54:43.people showed on the 7th of July, not just myself but other members of

:54:44. > :54:50.the public. People expect people to panic in that situation, that it was

:54:51. > :54:56.very calm. The ability now to take first aid to another level and have

:54:57. > :55:00.this information will be good. My view is we will face a terrorist

:55:01. > :55:07.attack in the UK, it is only a matter of time, so if people can

:55:08. > :55:19.prepare and look at apps like this, it can only be beneficial. Is

:55:20. > :55:22.another terrorist attack inevitable? Viewers will be aware that the

:55:23. > :55:26.national threat level is severe, each means an attack is considered

:55:27. > :55:32.highly likely. It has been for a couple of years. You will know from

:55:33. > :55:35.senior colleagues that we have said for some time that it is not a

:55:36. > :55:43.matter of if, it is a matter of when. We know from our experience

:55:44. > :55:47.both practically and from research that people who are prepared and

:55:48. > :55:57.have a plan have better outcomes. Which is why we support the

:55:58. > :56:00.programme. Can you tell us how many credible terror threats have been

:56:01. > :56:08.thwarted in the last 12 months? It is on helpful to talk about numbers.

:56:09. > :56:11.But it is true to say that both the police and the Security intelligence

:56:12. > :56:18.agencies are working tirelessly to prevent the threat that is presented

:56:19. > :56:22.to the UK. People will be aware of some of those incidents and arrests

:56:23. > :56:25.in the public domain, but there are many more which we are working on a

:56:26. > :56:31.behind-the-scenes which people will be unaware of. To give us a little

:56:32. > :56:36.insight, you say it is on helpful to talk about numbers, people would be

:56:37. > :56:44.interested to know how many are being thwarted. Is it on a weekly

:56:45. > :56:47.basis, a monthly basis? There are a number of investigations ongoing

:56:48. > :56:52.throughout the country continually. I will not be John on numbers, but

:56:53. > :57:00.we are continually vigilant and working to protect the citizens of

:57:01. > :57:04.the UK. The challenge is that at some point something will happen,

:57:05. > :57:08.and it's about how we make sure that people are prepared and able to

:57:09. > :57:12.support themselves, but also support ourselves to support communities to

:57:13. > :57:18.recover and manage those incidents as best as they can. Is the lone

:57:19. > :57:24.wolf type attack high on a list of your priorities? People will have

:57:25. > :57:30.seen from recent incidents across the world that there are a number of

:57:31. > :57:36.attack methodologies. Those involving individuals who are either

:57:37. > :57:42.tasked or motivated through the Internet and elsewhere are a real

:57:43. > :57:46.risk for us, because there is not much intelligence background for us

:57:47. > :57:52.to work on to interdict those attacks. Those are clearly a concern

:57:53. > :58:00.for us. We pay vigilance to those kinds of risks and threats. In terms

:58:01. > :58:06.of this app, you can download it. You said there is a paper leaflet as

:58:07. > :58:10.well. Where do people get it from? You can get the link from our

:58:11. > :58:15.website. The app is downloadable for free on the standard app stores.

:58:16. > :58:21.There is a small charge for the paper version.

:58:22. > :58:25.Thank you for your company today, we are back tomorrow at 9am. Have a

:58:26. > :58:33.good day. A team of spy creatures

:58:34. > :58:36.is on a mission to uncover the secret lives

:58:37. > :58:41.of wild animals. Their hidden cameras capture

:58:42. > :58:46.extraordinary behaviour.
