Should British citizens be allowed to bring their spouses to the UK

whatever their income? Right now, they need to earn over ?18,000 a

year in order to do so. We're expecting a Supreme Court ruling

live in the next hour or two. We'll bring you the result.

How can you carry on like this? How can we continue to live like this?

We want to be able to be together. We want to be able to sit down and

relax together. But we can't. We have to stay like this. Also, it's

the BRIT Awards tonight. We'll be asking if the organisers

have done enough to celebrate black artists after criticism of last

year's pretty much all white line-up of nominees. Are patients missing

out on compassionate care because nurses are too stretched. We'll talk

to nurses in the next hour of the programme.

Hello and welcome to the programme. We're live until 11am.

We're also talking about the British IS fighter who died in that suicide

bomb attack on Iraqi forces in Mosul this week.

He was a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who received,

it is reported, ?1 million in compensation,

taxpayers' money, your money, on his release back to the UK.

We'll be asking if the money was spent on terror and how

Our top story today, a ruling expected later this morning

at the Supreme Court could mean that thousands of British citizens

gain the legal right to bring their foreign spouse

Currently, people who are married to a Briton but are from outside

the European Economic Area - that is, the EU plus Iceland,

Liechtenstein and Norway, have been barred from settling

here unless their partner earns more than ?18,600 a year.

Hi Lisa. Good morning. So what cases is the Supreme Court actually ruling

on today? Well, this is the final Court of Appeal in the UK for civil

cases and they're going to rule on whether this is lawful. Critics say

that 15,000 children are being prevented from being with their

parents because of this. And in a series of test cases, those who have

been affected argued that the rules breached their right to any family

life and in 2013 the High Court ruled in their favour saying that

the rules were owe near are yous and unjustified and the judge urged the

Home Secretary to rewrite the rules, but the decision was overturned by

the Court of Appeal and that's what led to this challenge. The current

law, how does it work at the moment? Well, from 2012, Britons must earn

more than ?18600 because before a husband or a spouse can come from

the EEA, and settle in the UK, the minimum income threshold, that

affects people settled in the UK as well as refugees and then they have

an extra amount of money for each child, ?2400 for each child above

that. Now, the rules don't take account of any earnings of the

overseas partner. So you could somebody who has got a, who is

better qualified and they could have a much higher income potential if

they came here. So that's what some of the critics are saying. OK, thank

you very much, Lisa, thank you. We'll be speaking to some of those

affected by the current law - British people facing separation

from their spouses - in the next few minutes

on this programme. Joanna is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary An extra ?200 million in emergency

humanitarian aid has been promised by the Government to tackle a famine

in South Sudan and Somalia. The International Development

Secretary, Priti Patel, said the additional funds

would provide food, water and emergency health care for more

than two million people. Here's our diplomatic

editor, James Landale. In parts of war-torn South Sudan,

people are now dying of starvation and famine has

been officially declared. The UN and charities say that

Somalia, Yemen and north-east Nigeria are facing similar

humanitarian crisis with millions of people having no

reliable access to food. So today the International

Development Secretary, Priti Patel, is promising a new package

of emergency aid for She said there will be

an extra ?200 million made available this year,

this would include emergency food and water for a million people

in Somalia and food assistance There will be also emergency health

care and nutritional support for starving children

in both countries. Britain's leadership will basically

mean we will be saving lives, bringing vital assistance to people

in desperate need but also putting the call out to the international

community to get them to step up, to galvanise their support

so that we can have a strong international response to what quite

frankly could be a devastating Got a, who is better qualified and

they could have a much higher income potential if they came here. So

that's what some of the critics are saying. OK, thank you very much,

Lisa, thank you. The problem is these crisis have

been caused as much by conflict as by drought and no amount of aid will

end the violence that's brought so much suffering to these countries.

A convicted murderer is on the run after armed men helped him escape

Shaun Walmsley is one of four men serving life sentences for a fatal

He fled from outside Aintree University Hospital

as he was getting into a car with prison officers.

Our reporter Holly Hamilton is outside the hospital for us now.

Holly, tell us more about how this happened. Good morning, Joanna. Yes,

from what we understand Shaun Walmsley was brought here yesterday

afternoon for a medical procedure, for a medical appointment, he was

set upon unfortunately minutes later, he and two prison guards were

coming out of the hospital to return back to Liverpool jail where he has

based, where he's serving a life sentence. The two men both of whom

were carrying weapons, it is understood one was carrying a gun,

the other was brandishing a knife, both had their faces coveredment

they forced the two prison officers to release Shaun Walmsley. Neither

prison guards were injured in the incident. They were able to raise

the alarm quickly. Merseyside Police say they have launched a nationwide

search for the prisoner. They're working with the Ministry of Jus tus

and with other police support officers across the UK to try to

trace his whereabouts. He's described as dangerous. Members of

the public have been asked not to approach him. He was convicted for

murder in 2015 and he has been serving a life sentence as you say,

along with four other men. Now, he is described as dangerous. He is

expected to be still with the two men who helped him escape yesterday

afternoon. It's possible they could still be carrying weapons, so

members of the public have been asked not to approach them, but

instead to call 999 if they have any information.

Thank you, Holly. It's thought that a British man,

who carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq for the so-called

Islamic State terrorist group, had previously received compensation

from the UK Government after being arrested

in Pakistan by US forces The man, whom IS called

Abu-Zakariya al-Britani, but who was previously

known as Jamal al Harith and before that Ronald Fiddler,

detonated a vehicle filled with explosives in a village

south of Mosul. In 2001, he was detained

in the Guantanamo Bay detention centre as a terrorism suspect,

but was freed in 2004 after lobbying Lloyds Banking Group has

reported its highest annual profit in a decade,

helped by a reduction in payment protection insurance,

PPI, provisions. Pre-tax profits increased

to ?4.24 billion, a level last seen The UK Government's stake in Lloyds

has now fallen below 5% and it has said it wants to return the bank

to full private ownership this year. The cost of essential repairs

to school buildings in England has reached almost ?7 billion,

according to the In a report published today,

it warns that figure It also says that ministers' plans

to create 500 new free schools adds up to a bill of ?2.5 billion simply

to purchase the land The White House has issued

new guidelines designed to multiply the deportation of illegal

immigrants from the United States. Officials have been told to enforce

existing laws more strictly, and more quickly, and to target

undocumented people arrested for minor offences such as shoplifting

or traffic violations. President Trump's spokesman,

Sean Spicer, said the new rules would make immigration

officers' work easier. The president needed to give

guidance especially after what they went through in the last

administration, members had to figure out each individual whether

or not they fitted into a particular category and they could adjudicate

that case. The president wanted to take the shackles off individuals in

these agencies and say you have a mission, there are laws that need to

be followed. You should do your mission and follow the law.

Malaysian police say they want to question a North Korean

diplomat over the killing of Kim Jong-nam -

the estranged half-brother of North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un.

Kim Jong-nam died after being attacked at the international

airport in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur last week.

Two women caught on CCTV carrying out the attack said they thought

they were participating in a TV prank, but police claim

they were well aware they were using a toxic chemical.

By 2030 both men and women in the UK are expected to live

well into their 80s, for the first time.

Scientists at Imperial College London looked at the average life

expectancy in 35 industrialised nations and discovered all would see

people living longer with the gap between men and women

Women in South Korea are expected to live the longest,

If there is a barrier, we are not anywhere close to it. Whether that's

100 or 110, we'll just have to wait for another couple of decades to

see, but certainly not 90. The Bill giving the Prime Minister

permission to trigger the start of the Brexit process has been given

an unopposed second reading It will now be discussed

in committee where some peers are expected to attempt to amend

the proposed legislation. The first anniversary of the murder

of Jo Cox will be marked by street parties and picnics throughout the

country. The MP was killed in her West Yorkshire constituency before

last June's EU referendum. Her husband said the great get together

would be a fitting tribute it his wife. The plans will be launched by

the Duchess of Cornwall later today. A runaway bull has led police

in New York on a chase The bull, which is believed to have

escaped from a slaughterhouse, was on the loose for around two

hours in the district of Queens. It repeatedly gave officers the slip

before it was finally tranquilised An animal sanctuary had

offered to rehome the bull, but sadly it died

on its way to the centre. That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 9.30. Do get in touch with us

throughout the morning, use #Victoria LIVE and If you text,

you will be charged What a thrilling game. Two sides

going all out to attack? It reminded me of my school days, just playing

in the playground. You didn't care about defending your own goal, all

you wanted to do was attack, attack. Twice City came from behind, 5-3 was

the final score. Look at that goal! Fantastic goal.

And then Sergio Aguero of City said, "Anything you can do, I can match

you." A brilliant match by City. Two attacking teams going all-out. 5-3

was the final score and they take that valuable, valuable lead to

Monaco in three weeks time. It will be an interesting match-up that one.

Wayne Rooney, he's not really going to China, is he? Well, it seems

unthinkable, if you think a few weeks back when he became Manchester

United's record goal scorer. This is a person, a legend of the club, so

synonymous with Manchester United, but Jose Mourinho yesterday said he

can't guarantee that Wayne Rooney will still be in the squad in the

coming seasons. Wayne Rooney has previously said he will fulfil his

contract up until 2019, but when China, the Chinese Super League come

calling there is a big financial incentive for him to leave. We

understand he won't go in the next week when the Chinese Super League

transfer window is opened, but possibly, possibly in the summer. It

does make you wonder about Wayne Rooney's long-term future at the

club. What is the latest with the pie eating verve goalie or no longer

reserve goalie for Sutton? Yeah, you know it's a big story when it gets

its own hashtag, pie gate, it has been called. There is a petition

launched to have him reinstated after he stepped down from the club

yesterday and there were some people out there that will say he was just

having a laugh and perhaps the rules are restrictive, but if you look at

this argument, he has broken the rules and the rules are that no one

is allowed, no one including players, coaches, staff, officials

are allowed to bet on anything to do with a football competition,

directly or indirectly as the case maybe. Now, you know, it didn't

affect the outcome of the game, but did it compromise the integrity of

the competition? This is what the FA and the Gambling Commission will be

investigating. Thank you very much, Jess.

Nursing standard and marry curie asked nurses about their experiences

of caring for patients in their final months, weeks and days of

their lives. if Nursing Standard and Marie Curie,

asked nurses about their experiences of caring for patients in the final

months, weeks and days Two out of three nurses said

they don't have enough time They also said training and

community services need to improve. Let's speak to Conservative MP

Maria Caulfield who used to work as an NHS nurse,

an A nurse Danny Meredith, an assistant mental health nurse

Diane Cawood and Alwin Puthenparakal really give our audience an insight

into a typical day? It is a very fast paced environment. It involves

a lot of high-pressure time management. Organisational skills.

On a daily basis, we tend to go on the phrase time is tissue. We remind

ourselves of the challenges we face every day. What kind of patients are

you looking after. They tend to be sedated and ventilated, normally

non-cognate area. They are looked after the accident scene, excellent

training. Also the family members as well. How many patients would you be

responsible for, not use only, as you said, it is 18? Normally if it

is one care, in the UK, it can vary. If the patients are getting better,

it can vary from one nurse looking after two patients. Normally the

case. What is the biggest challenge as a nurse working in intensive

care? The biggest challenge, I would say, not having enough time.

Essentially, because there are a lot of things to do in a given period of

time. In a 12 hour period. However the most important goal for all of

us as a team is to help patients recover. Besides that, we have the

document everything we do. Looking after the welfare of the family

members. Look after the welfare of ourselves, throughout the process of

a heavy, emotionally distressing day. Fantastic insight, thank you.

Diane, you are an assistant mental health nurse. Typical day, give our

audience and real insight, to get under the skin of what you do on a

daily basis? No two days of the same in mental health. Part of what I

love about it. Usually quite busy and hectic. You will have 22, 23, 24

patients. People with depression, anxiety, self harm and those

suffering with psychosis. You are looking after the day today needs

generally, people with mental health conditions. If any of them have

physical illnesses, as well. On a ward with 22 patients, Hammond staff

would there be? On a typical day shift, two qualified nurses and two

nursing assistants. On a night shift, one qualified nurse and two

systems. Is that enough?? I would not say so, we need more staff, if

it gets more busy, more things going on on the ward, you need more staff.

What is your biggest challenge? Like the previous gentleman said, it is

time, never enough hours in the data your job. Maria coalfield,

Conservative MP, still doing shifts as an NHS nurse. Tell us about a

typical day in a hospital? A shift can vary, one day can be very

different from the next. I have been a nurse for 20 years. I mainly

working inpatient setting. I cannot comment about what happens in the

community. The types of patients have changed. I work in cancer care,

patients used to come in before operations, stay in many days after

operations. The post period was a part of their stay. Now they come in

on the day of surgery, going home pretty quickly. The type of patients

are more sicker, post up, acute infections. Those patients who are

dying, or going on for the same ward. Juggling different types is a

most difficult part of the job. People recovering from operations,

someone who needs chemotherapy, given on time. Often the patient who

is poorly, maybe the end of life care, the patient he gets seen last.

You have to prioritise the type of patient you are looking after. That

has changed, much more acute over the years. Since I have been a

nurse. The survey, not a revelation to save most nurses say they do not

have enough time. What is really significant, what they are saying we

don't have enough time with patients who are dying. That is really

alarming. In Parliament, we have had debates about end of life care. In

the cancer setting, it is pretty good, excellent hospices, good end

of life care. In other settings, Alzheimer's, MS, there is not the

end of life care support. Very often patients are stuck in hospitals,

they want to be at home, they want to be in a hospice. People looking

after them, and I talked to nurses who say we do not have the skills to

do end of life care, often gets forgotten. I completely agree with

Mary, at the end of the day, it is about training, and the time

available to look after the patient. Besides my role as in intensive care

nurse, I work as a university lecturer, me the time to to students

as well. To see what they have experienced, and also qualified

nurses as well. As previously advertised, in several reports in

the last decade, there is a growing problem, this issue has always been

there. We need to speak to the patients, for their feedback. Look

at the problem in a holistic sense. Do you get his feet Theresa May, and

give her your direct experience? I met with the Secretary of State,

Jeremy Hunt, there has been a report done on end of life care. One of the

key areas is training for staff. Staff are not necessarily trained in

pain control. The survey today is that the time. A lot of it to do

with the commissioning process, at the moment they are paid for a

number of operations, chemotherapy, but not paid for end of life care.

Hospitals are not, and until we are recognising the value of the end of

life care, and hospitals... The money would pay for businesses, it

would be seen as an intrinsic part of the role. It might pay for them.

I have not done the maths, but not enough people wanting to be nurses.

The current system, I was under the bursary system, I had reservations

about that being disbanded, they were turning student nurses away,

there was a cap on the numbers. The new schemes, the associate nurse and

the apprenticeship nurse will bring more into the profession. That is

what we hope is. Of course that is the hope. There is a shortage right

now. There are 10,000 more nurses being trained in practice, compared

to 2010. There are more, many more patients, many more challenges

because of the lack of social care. My experience in 20 years, the skill

mix is better on the wards. I used to look after, ten, 15 years ago,

ten patients are shift. That has dropped down to six, that is down to

reports like from this report. That was about safety. Nurses were

looking after too many patients. Let me ask you both, what you would say

to maria, who occasionally as a hotline to the Prime Minister

because of her experience on the NHS. What messages should she give

to her? Fundamentally, all about the organisational skills. The adequate

amount of training for the appropriate nurses, in particular

settings. So they can approach these challenges in the right kind of way.

Diane, what would you say? Training certainly helps. I feel staff

retention is a big part of it. A lot of people leaving the profession,

because they are overworked, undervalued, stress, not supported.

It is good to be training more nurses, I myself am a student nurse.

We need to be keeping the people already trained, making them feel

valued. Absolutely. A huge retention problem. It is a difficult job. A

huge level of burn-out. Only so long you can be dealing with that

stressful situation. A number of nurses who want to return to

practice. Difficult to do that, time-consuming, expensive process.

We need to focus on keeping nurses, so they do not feel they need to

leave the profession and we need to make it easier for people returning

to nursing. Thanks for coming to the programme. If you work in the

nursing profession or use you, let me know your experiences, what it

was like for you on the ward, where it was you work. And what the issues

are. What the government should be concentrating on. Still to come on

the programme. It is the BRIT Awards tonight, this year a different

story. We are asking if the organisers have done nothing

celebrate black artists. We will find out whether British citizens

will be allowed to bring their spouses in the UK, and have much

they earn. -- however much they earn.

in by the Government four years ago to stop low-income migrant families

becoming a burden on the taxpayer, but opponents say the rules

are unfair and have led to thousands of children being separated

from their parents. Today the Supreme Court will decide

if the rules are lawful or not. Last year our reporter

Divya Talwar met Amira, a mother who fled Syria with her son,

and was left separated from her husband because she didn't

meet the minimum income requirement. The seaside town of Barry Islands in

Wales. This is home for Amira and her son Jude since she fled from

Syria. Two years ago the daily sounds of

gunfire and barrel bombs were normal life in Damascus with her Syrian

husband. Amira is British and her dad is Syrian and she met her

husband through her relatives living there. When she fell pregnant, the

couple decided they had to leave the country. Amira came back to the UK

just before giving birth, but her husband had to stay behind. He

couldn't get a visa and still can't. I don't meet the means or the

requirements to bring my husband here on a spouse visa or like wise a

family visa. Since leaving Syria, Amira's home in Damascus has been

bombed. Family members have lost their lives. Her husband has fled to

Turkey. The family try to Skype every day. Jude is one of at least

15,000 British children growing up in Skype families since the new

rules came in, according to a report by the Children's Commissioner. He's

trying to get to give. He's trying to give him cuddles. It is him

trying to get to, you know, he's trying... You see, he just wants to

try and get to, he wants to try and get to his dad to have cuddles with

him. It can't keep on doing this. I just can't keep on... It's just...

How can you carry on like this? How can we continue to live like this?

We want to be able to be together and we want to be able to sit down

and relax together, but we can't. We have to stay like this. Yeah, good

boy. Kiss it. Amira and her husband separated this

year because the distance between them put too many strains

on their relationship. Let's talk now to two

people who fall below Satbir Singh who's a British citizen

and cannot bring his wife over from India and Lian Papay whose

American husband AJ faces being deported because of repeated

visa rejections, and Chai Patel who's charity Joint Council

for the Welfare of Immigrants it campaigns for justice

in immigration law. How long have you been living apart

from your Going on six wife? Months. What's that like? Obviously

incredibly challenging. Incredibly unsettling. It makes planning the

future very difficult. I think you married in 2014 after you met at

university in London. Yes. So you married after the rules were brought

in. Were you aware of them? We were. What we weren't aware of is the

technicality in the rules both of us individually actually earn above the

minimum income requirement, but as my wife is not an EU citizen, her

income isn't couldn'ted and as my work is basically on a contract

basis, it's not counted either. Previously we were living in the

United States. Our visas were renegotiated and we were sort of

required to leave the US and it was at that point that we were

involuntarily put in no position where we basically now have to live

in separate countries. You don't have to live in separate countries.

You could move to India? I could move to India, but if I did that,

even if I got an incredible job, there is no way we would save the

savings requirement to move back to the United Kingdom. That's about

?60,000 as a minimum. Yes. Easier said than done, I know. Are you

trying to get a job? Yes. Which would give you the minimum

requirement? I earn above the income requirement. It is a technicality

that contract work isn't recognised. I'm working sort of all hours that

I'm not working on my actual job to find a new job. It's very difficult

to turn down work as it comes to say well, I can't take on a new contract

because I'm looking for a full-time job because you're foregoing income.

You're trapped between a rock and a hard place. The original rational

from the Government was about effectively the rules were brought

in to reduce costs to taxpayers and there were a couple of other things

as well. Do you accept that? I don't. Spouses have not had recourse

to public funds traditionally. They pay into the NHS before they are

granted their visa and if we're talking about the economics of it,

the Government's o Office of National Statistics points out there

is a net gain to the Treasury from spouses who come here and work and

pay taxes as my wife would, as many spouses would, so there is no sort

of sensible logic behind the economic argument here either. What

about if you earn below the minimum income requirement the ?18600

figure, you bring a spouse and a child, actually you'd have to earn

?22,000 if you wanted to bring a child. Actually, the more dependants

you have, the more likely you are to be eligible for tax credits so that

could be argued is a burden to the taxpayer? Well, it defines how

you're defining a burd. Sometimes I will pay into the system and at

other times I will take out. There is no need here to penalise British

citizens who for one reason or another might not be earning a very

ash Trafalgar Squarily defined income requirement, when at other

times they maybe paying more into the system than they take out. They

are being penalised because they have married somebody who is from

outside the European Economic Area. Thank you for coming on the

programme. Clearly, you're together, living in Newcastle and you have a

child as well. But I think Leanne, because you don't earn the minimum

income requirement, you don't earn enough according to the Government

then you AJ can't stay as you're an American citizen? Yeah, that's

right. We have been fighting an immigration battle with this for

four years now just basically trying to get them to see the human aspect

side of things. You know, I don't earn ?18600, that isn't an average

salary within my area. You know, and you know, it is a struggle to try

and hit that amount of money and for that reason, we have been fighting a

visa, you know, fighting a battle with the immigration. Obviously if

AJ was to be removed, it would cause some problems for our son who, you

know, who would be devastated by that. Of course. AJ, I'm going to

ask you to speak up. We've only got one microphone. Sorry about that.

What effect is this having on you and your wife and your son? Well,

it's like the other guy said, we can't really plan for the future

because I'm not allowed to work. I'm not allowed any public funds or

anything. If I was to be removed, I'm, I'm our son's main carer

through the day while Leanne works. One day I would be taking care of

him and fi was removed, deported, he would not have his main carer, not

have his dad there, where he sees me every day, you know, and I take care

of him every day, it would be like a large detachment issue that could

cause psychological problems in the future for him. Have you considered

as a family moving to the States? Is that possible? We have, yeah. We've

thought about it. Obviously because we do want to remain together as a

family so we have thought about that option. But all of AJ's family is

actually living within the UK. My family lives here within the UK and

Jayden is very close to them also. So by taking him out of the UK to

America, it would be upsetting him on that part. You know, I think, the

best thing all-round for our family is for AJ to be able to remain here,

AJ able to work and Jayden stay this his routine and still have his

family network around him and also in America, we haven't got the money

to get health insurance for Jayden for example and that's a big thing

to us because, you know, we want to make sure that if anything was to

happen to Jayden in the future, you know, we could go to the hospital or

the doctors and obviously in this country it's a plesing that you can

do that. Over there, we would have no home. No healthcare. And you

know, no work, no jobs. Good morning to you. How many

families have been impacted by the income rules since 2012? Well, our

estimates are that about 15,000 children will have been impacted by

the rules. In terms of being separated from one or other parent?

In terms of being separated. In terms of families, it is hard to

say, but it is in the tens of thousands. Let's talk about the

legal side of this. What is being argued in the Supreme Court is to do

with people's British citizens right to a family life. Explain that for

our audience? Right, so everyone in the UK has a right to a private and

family life which is put into UK law by the Human Rights Act. And one of

the other rights which is very relevant to Leanne's case, it is in

British law, any immigration decision has to put as a primary

consideration the best interests of any children that would be affected

and our research shows that not only are children, you know, incredibly

psychologically impacted by having one of their parents leave or just

never seeing them, but also that the decision making process that the

Home Office goes through does not do that. It does not look specifically

at the best interests of the child in the way that they're legally

required to do. So those are the two main questions that the Supreme

Court is going to be looking at. This has been going on since 2013

when the High Court said the Government policy was unlawful. The

judge urged the Home Secretary to rewrite the rules. That was

overturned at the Court of Appeal and we're waiting for the judgement

this morning and what happens today is definitive? Yes, well, the family

could, the families could appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

on the Human Rights point. Right. OK. But the Supreme Court is

definitive in terms of English law. Right, OK. Are you feeling anxious?

A little bit, yes. Not just for myself, but for thousands of other

families who actually if I'm perfectly honest, there are cases

worse than this, where there are children involved. I'm fort not nat

that we are able to visit each other. For many families that's not

an option and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them as mup as for me. A

viewer says, "My husband and I had to do long-distance between here and

New Zealand due to the rule. It was heart wremplging, but worth it now."

David says, "Migrants who work and contribute to our economy should not

be deported. Some work in essential services." Another viewer says,

"This response is tragic. How do you tell a young boy, you're English,

but go live somewhere else based on earnings?" Another viewer says,

"Keep the ban on spouses. This country is under enough pressure

when it comes to schools, NHS and housing." Thank you very much all of

you. The Supreme Court ruling is due this morning and we will bring it to

you live as soon as it comes in. Tonight's Brit awards is tonight.

Last year's awards were labelled an embarrassment by one grime artist.

Months later, organisers announced a shake-up with more people from black

and ethnic minority backgrounds being put on the judging panel. At

tonight's Brits, more than 20 nominations have gone to non-white

artists. Let's look at the nominees. # Shut up.

# How can you be better than me? # Back up dancer.

# I want to chat about back-up dancer. . #

# Rachel will get her hair braided. # My mum don't your mum.

# Trust no one. # Sing me a song.

# Turn me around so I can be everything I was meant to be.

Charmaine Hayden who runs an online music show, and Lauren Page,

Kano is up for three awards. I'm glad the time has come where grime

can be recognised. Why has it taken long? Is it that grime artists

aren't signed to big labels so they don't president the music forward?

Is it racism? What is it? Grime is a new genre. It has been around for 15

years. I think everything takes time to nurture and be out there in the

right place at the right time. Very professional platform, all the

artists are doing well. The youth, in London, across Britain, the right

time to be nominated. Is it mainstream? It is worldwide.

Does that change the John wrote? Do you welcome a bigger audience? I

feel like the underground is mainstream, still underground in the

meantime. Do you reckon? Important to commercialise what is existing,

rather than turning it into something already commercial. It is

just about progressing the art form, as it is. Let's talk about what

happened last year, the contrasts in terms of nominations. You were

brought on the judging panel. What did you think about the nominees

last year? It is a bit of an oversight. That is being polite? I

think the judging panel was a bit outdated. Not as useful as it was

now. I have to take my hat off to the chairman, he took on board the

comments. The outrage online. What he did, he acted on it. Which is the

best thing to do. Acting on it, involving some more youthful people,

people from ethnic backgrounds, making the judging panel more even.

As a music fan, what did you think of the nominees last year,

contrasting with this year? Last year, it highlighted the lack of

diversity in the nominees. The very popular group he brought an album or

not even nominated. Number two album, fantastic, not even

nominated. Looking at the sheer diversity this year, absolutely over

the moon to see those acts, they really deserve it. As a pure music

fan, is the diversity issue overhyped? Sometimes, there are that

many genres in music, people sometimes think it is overhyped,

they think we need loads of different genres to fit in. For the

BRIT Awards specifically, and others, it is not overhyped, giving

people the recognition they deserve. Nice that this year they have

finally realised that grime, I don't know how to put it, pop music has

always been a big factor of the Brits, and it is nice that grime is

just as popular, getting the artists out there. What did you think about

the nominees last year? The nominees last year, I would have loved to

have seen some of the grime acts involved. It is still good. 48

nominations last year, only two went to an artist from an ethnic minority

background, in the international categories. You are smiling, like it

is unbelievable? Definitely last year, there was an oversight. The

main thing is, this year it is being corrected. I'm sure you will help to

bring things together. It is looking better, looking good. The important

thing, not just to make it a whole big grime thing. I don't think the

Brits did too much, they just had enough. Really important for some it

is not a trophy category, the best crime was not there is not the best

rock award, Best pop award. We just want recognition for what we do.

We're just as big as all these other categories of music. Do you remember

when Joss Stone won best urban act? It was an oversight, yet again.

Things have come a long way. You are a judge, what is it you are looking

for? What we're looking for, you are given an option of nominees for each

category, you pick the nominees for rich category. I am looking for who

has had an impact full year. Who has put out the best music. Whatever is

relative to that category. What are you looking for tonight? When you

look at Kano, big categories, Best British solo male, Best album of the

year. I just take some of them bring it home. That is the main thing. Is

it easier for new artists, like Stormzy? Easier to win, or make it?

It may be easier in context. We are in Internet age, it was not like

that, it was restricted before, you had to get on certain platforms. Now

it is easier just to be yourself, put out good music. Become as big

and successful as you need to be. Great time for grime. Stormzy is

here at the right time. With his outburst last year, that has created

all of this. Allowing people to really take grime seriously.

Understanding it is not a small force, it is a force to be reckoned

with. Why did it have to be taken seriously? It has to be taken

seriously because it is not a micro niche, it is an important part of

culture, people like it. You have to credit the hard work that has been

put in, by the musicians. Kano doing music for a long time, impacting a

lot of people's lives. People like Stormzy, pretty new, doing a lot of

work in the DIY manner. The artists, people are loving them, why aren't

we recognise the talent? Tell us about the work that goes into it?

Pirate radio. Trying to get everything captured. A lot of work

being put in. If he did not get its value in full worth, disappointing

to see this is what is going on right now. People appreciate the

work ethic? So of course they do, they can understand, they can see

the growth. People my age, 30, started liking this when they were

15, they can see how far it has come. Even the new grime fans go

back and see the whole stuff. They can understand where we have come

from. I was nine, ten when I first started hearing the sound. I am 21

now. Over ten years. Thank you very much. We will see what happens.

Lauren, thank you very much as well. Let's bring you breaking news, from

the Supreme Court. The ruling on immigration, so that a few moments

ago, it looks like the government have won on principle. The law is

lawful. They have lost on the detail. I'm reading this for the

first time the Supreme Court has said the government? New rules

preventing people on low incomes bringing husbands and wives to the

UK could be compatible with human rights laws in principle. The judge

said the rules, the minimum income requirement, are defective, they do

not take sufficient account of the welfare of the children involved,

and different sort of incomes. British citizens can only bring in a

static that an income of ?18,600 or more. Rising if children are

involved. The seven judges said it has caused hardship to thousands of

couples. If you be compatible with Human Rights Act. He had a

legitimate aim that couples play a full part in British life, but it

fails if it does not take the full interest of children into primary

consideration. Looks like those rules may have to be amended. We

will talk to our correspondent live in the next few minutes, bringing

you the definitive ruling. Time for latest weather.

We're talking about Storm Doris, bringing nasty weather to the United

Kingdom. Looking at the satellite picture, a

streak of cloud in the Atlantic. This is where Doris is, nothing

particularly exciting in the five miles an hour wind, that the low

pressure will go underneath, 150 mile jet stream, a rapid fall in

pressure, 24 millibars in 24 hours. Meteorologists referring to this as

a weather bomb. It becomes Doris into tomorrow. Severe weather in to

parts of the United Kingdom, strong winds buffeting parts of North

England, North Wales, parts of northern England. Risk of snow in

parts of Scotland. Disruptive weather like. Here is the picture

through the rest of the day. Gusts reaching 70 miles an hour in the

Northern Isles of Scotland. Blustery showers through the north-west.

Quite warm in the north-east of Scotland, but the wind easing down.

Rain into Northern Ireland in the afternoon. North-west England,

pretty wet around greater Manchester and Merseyside. Rain continuing into

the north-west of England and Wales. Quite windy day, mild with it.

Temperatures around 13 degrees. Overnight, rain pepping up in

Northern Ireland. First signs of Doris arriving. We will see some

rapid pressure falls in the system, as it moves in overnight and

tomorrow morning. That is when we see the weather impact developing.

We have already seen in amber warning from the Met office. Gusts

of wind likely to reach 80 miles an hour in North Wales, the North of

England, up towards Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the North. These

winds likely to cause damage and disruption if you are out and about,

stay tuned for the weather forecast. In the Northern edge of a weather

system heavy snow in the uplands. 20, 30 centimetres up here,

disruptive, potentially snow down to lower elevations for a time. Parts

of the central belt. Disruption to power and transport. Thanks to

Doris. Disruptive weather. Northern Ireland, heavy rain, localised

flooding. Further south, strong gusts of wind, 50, 60 miles an hour

from the strong enough to bring down tree branches. Friday looks quieter,

sunny spells and many of us, then the next system brings rain back

into the north-west of the UK. Temperature wise, between 6-10dC.

Looking at the storm tomorrow, storm Doris bringing a combination of

severe gales, damaging and disruptive, and nasty snow in high

parts of Scotland. Good morning.

It is 10am. It's Wednesday. I'm Victoria Derbyshire. The Supreme

Court rules on whether British citizens can bring their spouses to

the UK. The Government won a partial victory, but judges say the current

rules don't look enough at the welfare of children involved. We'll

bring you all the details. We will be finding out how a British man and

terror suspect who was a former Guantanamo Bay detainee was allowed

it leave the UK and carry out a suicide attack in Iraq.

Also children who are victims of violence or sexual crimes are being

made to feel like criminals when they report the crimes. That's

according to the Victims' Commissioner, we'll speak to her and

a teenager who says it was' waste of time reporting what happened to him

to the police. Joanna is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary The Supreme Court said that the

Government rules restricting the rules of British people to bring

foreign spouses into the UK are compatible with Human Rights

legislation in principle, but it added that the rules as they stand

are defective because they don't make the interests of children

affected by them a primary consideration. The judges' also said

that alternative sources of income should be taken into consideration.

Since 2012, people who are married to a Briton, but are from outside

the European Economic Area, that's the EU, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein

and Norway have been barred from settling here unless their partner

earns more than ?18600 a year. We'll get more from our

correspondent at the Supreme Court shortly.

An extra ?200 million in emergency humanitarian aid has been promised

by the Government to help people facing starvation in

The additional funds will go towards providing food,

water and emergency health care for more than two million people.

Ministers say the international response has been inadequate

and are urging other countries to join the effort.

Britain's leadership will basically mean that we'll be saving lives,

bringing vital assistance to people in desperate need, but also putting

the call out to the international community to get them to step up, to

galvanise their support so that we can have a strong international

response to what quite frankly could be a devastating humanitarian

crisis. A convicted murderer is on the run

after armed men helped him escape Shaun Walmsley, who is 28,

was serving a life sentence for fatally stabbing a rival drug

dealer in Liverpool in 2014. He fled from outside

Aintree University Hospital as he was getting into a car

with prison officers. Officers say he's dangerous and

the public should not approach him. It's thought that a British man,

who carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq for the so-called

Islamic State terrorist group, had previously received compensation

from the UK Government after being arrested

in Pakistan by US forces The man, whom IS called

Abu-Zakariya al-Britani, but who was previously known

as Jamal al Harith and before that Ronald Fiddler,

detonated a vehicle filled with explosives in a

village south of Mosul. In 2001, he was detained

in the Guantanamo Bay detention centre as a terrorism suspect,

but was freed in 2004 after lobbying Lloyds Banking Group has

reported its highest annual profit in a decade,

helped by a reduction in payment protection

insurance, PPI, provisions. Pre-tax profits increased

to ?4.24 billion, a level last seen The UK Government's stake in Lloyds

has now fallen below 5% and it has said it wants to return the bank

to full private ownership this year. A bull has been on the case in New

York, in Queen's. It gave officers the slip before it was tranquillized

and captured in a back gardenment an animal sanctuary offered to re-home

the bull, but sadly it died on the way on its way to the centre.

Let's go live to the Supreme Court, we have had the ruling that the

minimum income requirement, that threshold of ?18600, according to

the Supreme Court judges' is compatible with Human Rights ledge

slags, but the rules don't take into account children enough. Fill us in

Dominic? We're in legal PhD territory. It is a complicated

ruling. In short, the claimants, the couples who said they were divided

by this controversial ruling since 2012, in technical legal terms they

have won their appeal, but broadly speaking from the Supreme Court said

is that the Home Office is objective of using a minimum income system to

control who comes into the UK is lawful. It does stand the test of

time and they haven't suggested it should be knocked out by a fresh, a

re-think by Parliament. Now, in short, what they've said is the

problem with it is how this applies to children. They have said that

immigration officers aren't effectively given any guidance about

how they should take into account the rights of children. Secondly, a

broader question about how you assess what a couple's income S let

me go back a step and explain what the rule is. In essence a couple who

want to settle in the UK where one partner is born outside of Europe

and the other is a British citizen or a settled refugee, the partner

here in the UK, they have to have a minimum income of ?18600, that rises

if they have children. And that income is effectively the

sponsorship of the partner they want to bring in. Irrespective of how

much the other partner earnings. Partner earns. Thousands of

claimants said it is a jolly unfair system, but the Supreme Court said

it is not. It is legitimate even it does have a harsh effect. This is

really complicated. I've got Nicola Burgess who has been involved with

this case from the beginning. Nicola, is this a win, a loss or a

score draw? Well, we consider it to be a win. We're delighted by the

judgement. Thousands of people have been affected by this unfair rule

and that includes British citizens and British children. JCWI have been

campaigning against the rules since its inception almost five years ago.

We've compiled a report which was referred to in the judgement which

documented the impact on children who have been separated from a

parent. And that detailed the emotional and psychological harm

that's been caused by this unfair and unflexible rule. A rule that 41%

of the UK's population couldn't satisfy. The court acknowledged that

it caused significant hardship to many people and sadly will continue

to do so. However, what's important is the judges' findings. That how

has to be implemented by the Government. So moving forward, they

do have to take into account the best interests of children, that has

to be the post-roomry attention. But the whole thing could end up with no

real change to many families. What the court has said the fact is in

their words it does cause hardship to many families, but it is not

incompatible with Human Rights law, and what they have said is go back,

tweak the rules and in many cases, you're going to have thousands, or

potentially of thousands of families, you tell me, who still

won't come up above the minimum income threshold that the Home

Office has set. In essence that feels like it's a Government

victory? No, I would disagree. There is a benefit to thousands of

families including those with children. The Government must

implement a wider balance. It has to be a fair balance between the rights

of individuals and the public interest. Am I right in saying some

of the families that have been affected have been in bizarre

circumstances so to speak where you have had a partner outside the UK

who is earning more than the partner inside the UK? Exactly. The unfair

position before today's judgement was that the future earn power could

not be taken into account. The court has now opened the door for the

Government to revisit that, so alternative sources of income can be

taken into account. There is a long way to go on the story. Nicola,

thank you very much. What will happen now is the Home Office will

have to consider its response and how it's going to tweak the rules to

comply with what the Supreme Court has said. In essence that will mean

probably a lot of these cases will end back up in immigration tribunals

and back in the courts whilst they try and thrash out whether or not

couples can settle legally here in the UK. Thank you very much,

Dominic. The former England cricketer

Ryan Sidebottom will retire at the end of next season after 20

years of first class cricket. He's taken over 1,000 wickets,

won five county championships, He joins me now

from our Leeds studio. Ryan, it is so good to have you with

us. Now, I know you've got a few matches to go. You've got a few

matches to play, but what memories... Just a few. What

memories will you take away from the sport? Lots of fond memories. I have

been very fortunate throughout my career to play 20 years, to be able

to hang my boots up and retire on my terms, obviously, I'm very happy and

very proud, but I think just lots of great memories, winning trophies,

representing my country and my county, playing for Nottinghamshire

also, and making, you know, making numerous amounts of friends and

playing against and with my heroes. Those are the stand-out memories.

Very, lucky and very fortunate. Bowling, it not easy on the body,

but your numbers suggest that you're still competing as much as you ever

did. How can you kept your body in shape? A little bit more rest. A

very understanding coach. With me being a senior bowler I suppose he

looks at me and I get get to use the stripes on my sleeve and get a few

extra days off. Ice baths, I do a lot of yoga. I try and keep myself

as fit and as healthy as possible. Everyone is so young. I think

they're all out of nappies! They keep me young and fresh and young at

heart. I'm sure you witnessed the game

change a lot during your career and the England side probably changed a

lot during your time and now we have Joe Root who is the new captain to

lead the team forward, do you think he's the right man for the job? Most

definitely. Look, Joe Root is a great player. He has achieved so

much in a short space of time. This England team are very exciting.

They're still very youthful and they're learning every day. They're

getting better and better and very strong as a team and as a unit and I

think Joe inherited a very good side. I think under Joe it will

bring more of an exciting brand of cricket and the way he plays. He's

very mature and knows the game inside out and very knowledgeable so

I'm really looking forward too Joe's tenure as captain. I think it is

exciting times ahead for England. Now, I hear once you retire, you

might go into property development which reminds me of another

ex-sportsman, Dion Dublin, could we see you popping up on Homes Under

The Hammer? I might walk around with Dion and hold his hand for a few

episodes. I will do something different. I'm very excited about,

you know, getting a sledgehammer, you know, develop property,

something I really love. I like the textures and furnishings and stuff

like that. I love walking around shops and looking at things and

trying to bring colour to the houses. So I'm, that's something

away from the game. It is another love of mine and I suppose when I

finish I will look back with fondness, but it is another story,

another chapter. Ryan, thank you for talking to us. That's all the sport

for now, Victoria. Cheers Jess, cheers, Ryan. Thank you

for coming on the programme. Let's get more on the Supreme Court

ruling on spouse visas. Judges ruled the income threshold is fair, but

ministers must do more to consider the children.

Sophie Barrett-Brown is here. She lobbied to change the legislation on

the minimum income requirement. It looks like you have failed. How do

you respond? Well, it is hugely it is appointing for all the families

involved and for everyone involved in the lobbying in the case, but

there are some hopeful elements. We need to look at the judgement in

detail. But there is acknowledgement that it is inadequate in how it

deals with the rights of children and we need to see changes happening

so the rules don't operate in a Draconian way. The threshold stays?

It stays, but in relation how they can deal with exceptionality, this

is where there could be scope. We have got to look at the judgement in

detail, but there is no doubt that it doesn't take adequate account of

the interests of the child and their obligations to take account of the

factors. The way they deal with those issues is inadequate.

Wayne, what's your reaction? The Home Office

said to my wife The interests of the child has to be one of the primary

considerations which it has to be. The Home Office ignored that

requirement. If there is this should be refusing

us. Not entirely a loss, children are the real losers. Single-parent

families. The main aim is that because family life should not be

created at the taxpayers' expense. The government have mentioned that

aim. When spouses are here, there is an attachment they are not allowed

public funds. They have to pay in NHS surcharge, not taking out of the

NHS, paying towards the NHS anyway every time we apply for a Visa.

Every time parents come, there are children, they should be entitled to

two parents. Established point of EU law, child is entitled to two

parents in direct contact. Wayne circumnavigated the legislation.

There is a route affecting British citizen so they are treated like an

EU citizen. EU citizens do not have to meet the

minimum threshold. They can live elsewhere in the EU, and return to

the UK. But those rules have become increasingly prospective. Many would

argue is unlawful under EU law. Since November 20 16, one cannot use

that role if it is for the purpose of circumventing the Jewish

immigration rules. It may become much more difficult. You effectively

moved to Ireland, which is an EU member, with your wife, lived there

for three months, worked there for three months, then came back to

Britain. We moved to Ireland. I have lived and worked in the EU before,

lived in Finland in 2004, working for a business. I have already lived

in the EU. I should have been treated as an EU citizen anyway. I

was trading across the EU. It helps your wife, originally from

Indonesia. Final thought. The Home Office will have to tweak the rules.

What will it mean for those waiting to find out whether the spouse could

not? More delay and anxiety. Don't see this being the end of the

matter, the lobbying will continue. It is not about the minimum income,

it is about how the rule is applied. The evidence required, making it an

extraordinary hurdle to overcome. You cannot combine incomes, you

cannot count the income of the spouse coming. These are features

where we can seek to have some changes made. News coming into us.

The BBC announcing it is to create a new channel for Scotland, part of

plan on seeing the biggest single investment in the Corporation north

of the border for 20 years. A new TV channel for Scotland, which would

see the biggest single investment in the corporation in Scotland for more

than two decades. Twenty years on from her tragic

death, a new exhibition is being opened in London

to celebrate the life of Princess Diana, and some

of her trend-setting fashions. We'll get a sneak peek of the show

before it opens on Friday. How was a British man,

who was a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, allowed to leave the UK

and carry out a suicide attack for the so called

Islamic State group? He's from Manchester and is also

known as Abu-Zakariya al-Britani He is believed to have carried

out a suicide bombing This final photograph shows him

grinning, reportedly on his way Fiddler was born in Manchester

in 1966 to parents of Jamaican origin It's thought he converted

to Islam in the 1990s. He worked as a web designer before

he travelled to Pakistan for he what he claimed

was a religious holiday, shortly He was arrested in Pakistan

and transferred to Fiddler was held there for two years

before being repatriated to Britain in 2004 and released without charge

- reportedly winning compensation Ten years later, in April 2014,

Ronald fiddler travelled to Turkey and then to Syria to join

the so called Islamic State His wife told the Daily Mirror

newspaper that she and their five children went to Syria

try to persuade him to come back, but failed, and they ended up having

to flee for their lives With me is Arthur Snell who was head

of the Prevent programme - the initiative aimed at preventing

violent extremism - he worked at the foreign

office from 2008-2011 and in Central London,

we're joined by Lord Carlile, former independent reviewer

of terrorism legislation How was this man able to leave the

country? A very good question, this is a high-profile individual,

everybody knew about him, when he came back from Grant and obey there

was a lot of media coverage. There is a gap in the story, the

authorities lost track of him, at the point he decided to go to Syria,

nobody stopped in doing that. There are number of British citizens,

residents, released from Guantanamo Bay. When they were back in the

country, where they covertly monitored by security services?

Those details are not released. Intelligence services and police

have a duty to keep tabs on people who could be a threat to the public

in one way or another. IS did not exist when he returned from

Guantanamo Bay. The organisation before it was Al-Qaeda, it involves,

morphed. He could have been radicalised in the last three, four

years. It is open to question. Looking back is to be. Ambiguous

someone would take a holiday after the 9/11 attacks in Pakistan. A

religious holiday. I am not in position to judge whether that is

correct. There is certainly ambiguity. The US and Nancy had

senior links to Al-Qaeda members. That has not been verified, could be

possible. If there was evidence, he could have been put on trial after

Guantanamo Bay? That has been one of the problems. The UK decided it did

not agree with the Guantanamo Bay system. To get the standard of legal

evidence to win the trial is much harder, than the intelligence

information you would not want to reveal in open court. Let's bring in

Lord Carlile, former independent reviewer of terrorism, and

crossbench peer. Some British taxpayers will feel that he was paid

over ?1 million in compensation for alleged British complicity in

torture at Guantanamo Bay. Was that fair? First of all, I don't know. I

don't believe anybody who knows something about the case knows how

much he was paid. That was in the media. He was paid a substantial

amount of money. He tried to bring in action in the United States, on

national security grounds he was not able to make any progress, or

maintain damages. In the United Kingdom, the rules of disclosure

from the defendant, the British government, and the claimant, are

different. National security material would have had to been

disclosed, according including to him, if the case was to go further.

Quite rightly, the government decided it was not going to disclose

such material either to him or anyone else in a similar position.

It did mean that the only alternative was to pay some money.

That is why the money was paid, and we have to examine whether we can

improve that system to make it more like the United States physicians so

we are not face of the situation again. Ronald Fiddler could spend

that money on anything he wanted to, including giving it to IS. He could,

once it is his money, he could spend it, subject to him spending it

lawfully. If he spends it unlawfully, the relevant control

authorities would have been able to detect that. It looks as if he went

quiet for a considerable period. How surprised are you that he was able

to leave Britain, to travel to Syria, via Turkey? I am surprised he

was able to leave Britain. It shows that the lists of people, the red

flagging people, who have terrorist connections, is not as robust as it

should be. It has worked, generally speaking. This man slipped through

the net. On the other side of the coin, one has to be thankful he was

not going to be able to carry terrorist acts in the United

Kingdom, because it is very difficult to do that. At the time,

the then Home Secretary, Labour's David Blunkett, said those released

from Guantanamo Bay, British citizens, released early in the last

decade, were not a security risk. He may not have been a security risk

event for me could have been radicalised in recent years. You as

an independent reviewer of terrorist legislation would have expected him

to be monitored by security services? I would have expected him

to be monitored on his return. What David Blunkett said is what he

believes, based on the advice he received at the time. A lot has

happened since Ronald Fiddler returned to the United Kingdom. What

one would expect is for the police and other agencies to keep an eye on

him, until such time as they thought he presented no danger. It looks as

if he laid low for a considerable period, possibly because he

recovered a lot of compensation, and was quietly working his way through

it. Reactivating his radical instincts and tendencies, leaving

the country as he did. We cannot possibly expect realistically for

everybody who returns to be followed for every minute of their time. We

cannot incarcerate them unless they have committed during all offences,

which have to be proved to a high criminal standard in front of a

British jury. Is there some sort of lesson here to the authorities in

this country for so getting the evidence is a really good idea,

because you can put it in front of a jury? Clearly, as Lord Carlile has

said, lots of people have been prevented from travelling to Syria.

This case is clearly a failure. A big challenge on the question of

evidence. The standard of evidence in criminal court is very high, the

way it should be. People do not want to live in a police state where

everyone is followed around. Equally in some cases, the any material you

have that demonstrates what people abruptly comes from intelligence

which cannot be revealed in this context. Thank you very much.

This e-mail from Rebecca, who wants to share experience of the UK's

immigration policy. In light of that ruling from the Supreme Court in the

last 24 hours. My husband, from New Zealand and I returned to the UK

from Germany. My husband had a job paying ?70,000, and I was

self-employed, 30 weeks pregnant. I did not meet the requirements for

the threshold, we were only able to settle back into the UK through be

used loophole. -- through the E used loophole. This directive does not

favour a woman, possibly one planning on having children. It is

incompatible with a woman's reality. I've never heard of a woman having a

pay rise when having a child. We now live in Madrid, we can live here

without issue. I feel completely unwelcome in my home country. The

Home Office needs to get back to basics, recognising the hardship it

causes, and take into account the joint income into account.

Ever since her first public appearance in the 1980s,

Princess Diana captivated the world's attention as a princess,

Twenty years after her tragic death, there's a new exhibition opening

in London to celebrate her life and her trend-setting fashions.

Today we're taking a sneak peek at the show before

Our reporter Kathryn Stanczyszyn is at Kensington Palace for us,

This special exhibition is marking 20 years since the death of the

Princess of Wales and it is doing it through fashion, marking from when

she was a young debutant, a teenager into 1979 up to her death in 1997

and it features some stunning outfits. Outfits like this one

behind me. She was photographed in this in 1990 at Leicester Square at

an official visit. Just the detail on there, beautiful dresses there,

that span all the way through five rooms of these dresses. She was one

of the most photographed women in the world. Long before social media

and instant photographs, but people scrutinised her completely, she was,

you know, very much watched and her journey through her life was marked

through some of her fashion choices. Some of the very famous dresses are,

you know, amongst the ones that you remembered from your childhood. This

one for instance, she wore to go to the White House and she danced with

John Travolta, a moment that's iconic. I'm here with the curator of

this exhibition. There has been a huge amount of interest in this?

Yes, 2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the death of the Princess of

Wales. We receive so many visitors here because it was her former home.

We wanted to celebrate her life with an exhibition. She didn't like to be

known as a clothes horse actually, but she did understand the language

of fashion very well and used it do the job at hand and certainly in her

role as princess and ambassador for British fashion and for Britain, we

see some of her most Regal gowns. Staff say the phones have been

ringing off the hook. Tell us more about this dress. This is one that

people will remember? This is a highlight of the exhibition. People

think they know it from photographs, but photographs don't do it justice.

To see it in the flesh, you understand what a masterclass in

design. It has this velvet bodice which should look chunky, but

doesn't. It is a classical dress, but it was north nat she was wearing

it to the White House in 1985, she didn't know she was going to be

dancing with John Travolta. It took a while for him to pluck up the

courage to ask her, but they danced for half an hour, the skirt really

twirls up as she were spinning around the dance floor. I know that

the designer said it felt like a moment that she did become a very

elegant woman because before that, she had worn a lot of more girlish

outfits? I think that's right. I think in the mid-80s you see a real

step change as she moves away from the cluttered, frilly dresses and

develops a sophisticated style of dressing. This next dress, I've got

to move on to this. This is known as the Elvis dress? It wasn't designed

to resemble one of Elvis' jumpsuits. Catherine Walker designed if for an

official visit to Hong Kong in 1989. I mean it is in that Royal tradition

of dress making that Catherine Walker was so good at. But Diana

looked ray dent and Walker said she wanted Diana to feel great in what

she was wearing. This dress is covered in 20,000 pearls and the

weight of it is really incredible. But Diana looked fantastically

radiant in it. Some of her favourite designers, 11 designers represented

here throughout the five rooms. It opens at 10am on Friday morning and

it will be here for the next two years. Cheers, Catherine. Thank you

very much. Still to come, are victims of crime

being made to look like criminals? That's the view of the victim's

commissioner Baroness Newlove. We'll be speaking to her

on this programme shortly. And we'll find out more about the UK

Government's promise to help half a million children in South Sudan

and Somalia, who are at risk Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news. In the last hour,

the Supreme Court has said that government rules restricting

the right of British people to bring foreign spouses into the UK

are compatible with human rights But it added that the rules

as they stand are defective because they don't make

the interests of children affected The judges ruled that the rules as

they stand are defective and need to be changed because they don't take

enough account of the welfare of children affected by them and don't

take all sources of earnings into consideration when calculating

income. Despite the ruling in favour of the Government, campaign, are

hailing it as a victory. Thousands of people have been

affected by this unfair rule. JCWR have been campaigning against the

rules since its inception almost five years ago. We've compiled a

report which was referred to in the judgement which documented the

impact on children who have been separated from a parent and that

detailed the emotional and psychological harm that's been

caused by this unfair and unflexible rule. A rule that 41% of the UK's

population couldn't even satisfy. The court also acknowledged that it

has caused significant hardship to many people and sadly will continue

to do so. However, what's important is the judges' findings. That now

has to be implemented by the Government. So moving forward, they

do have to take into account the best interests of children. That has

to be the primary attention. An extra ?200 million in emergency

humanitarian aid has been promised by the Government to help people

facing starvation in The additional funds will go

towards providing food, water and emergency healthcare

for more than two million people. Ministers say the international

response has been inadequate and are urging other countries

to join the effort. A convicted murderer is on the run

after armed men helped him escape Shaun Walmsley, who is 28,

was serving a life sentence for fatally stabbing a rival drug

dealer in Liverpool in 2014. He fled from outside

with prison officers. Officers say he's dangerous and

the public should not approach him. Lloyds Banking Group has

has now fallen below 5% and it has said it wants to return the bank

announced that a new TV Channel is to created in Scotland to begin

broadcasting in autumn 2018. The channel will have a budget

of ?30 million, equivalent The plans for the channel include

a Scottish news hour at 9pm. Let's get more from our

Scotland Correspondent Lorna Gordon. We can also speak to

SNP MP John Nicolson, he sits on the Culture,

Media and Sport select committee and is a former Scottish

television presenter. Right, Lorna, give us the details.

This news has taken everybody by surprise. It has been very, a very

well kept secret. There will be a new channel on the digital spectrum

that will broadcast Scottish content. It'll have a budget of

about ?30 million a year, that's equivalent to BBC Four. It will run

from 7pm to midnight. They aim to launch it in August 2018. It will be

a mixture of drama and entertainment, documentaries, and it

will also have an integrated news hour that will run at 9pm. Everybody

is still digesting the news, but certainly, on social media, it is so

far at least getting a very warm reception.

OK. You probably won't know this yet, Lorna l it have a different

drama and entertainment who what's going on on BBC One or BBC Two? My

understanding is that BBC One will stay the same as and what will

happen se BBC Scotland opts that currently happen on BBC Two will

switch to this new channel, but there will be new original content

as well, if you look at that ?30 million budget, around ?19 million

is new investment, ?11 million has been used to create programming here

in Scotland and of course, there is a job knock-on as well. We're

talking about 80 new jobs in the newsroom up here in Scotland. People

are welcoming that. Saying it will be a good chance to develop talent

here in Scotland and retain talent here in Scotland and of course,

there will be a number of other jobs elsewhere in this building here in

Glasgow to do with the five hours of programming that with start, we

think, in August 2018. John Nicholson, how do you react to this,

good morning? Good morning. Well I'm delighted whenever I hear there are

going to be new jobs, that's an excellent thing and we welcome the

new channel. We welcome the extra vement and of course, we welcome the

extra ?1 million for the Gaelic language, but what Lorna didn't

mention there was hand and glove with this announcement is another

announcement which is that the BBC is going to kill off the prospects

of a separate Scotch 6pm news on BBC One which the BBC has been piloting

over the last year and I'm disappointed about that because, of

course, it's great to have a separate Scottish nine o'clock news,

but I think it is very important to have a Six O'Clock News on BBC One.

Why? Well, you just have to watch the running order of the main BBC

News and quite often the they will lead on an English story and there

will be an English trap story... But you'll get Scottish news at 9pm Let

me finish the question you asked me. So the main Six O'Clock News coming

from London will have three English stories in its running order and

that's great for the people of England, but it is not good for the

people of Scotland on their main channel. They want to see a mix of

national, international, and UK news based on normal news merit.

Do you think this creation of a channel then is a sop because there

isn't going to be a Scottish Six O'Clock News on BBC One? Well, I

think obviously there will be some people who say that. I think it's

great that there is a new channel and of course, what this has proved

is that all those people who criticise BBC Scotland journalism,

who said that it was technically impossible for them to put together

an hour long news programme have been proved to be entirely wrong.

This shows that BBC Scotland can do this. It has got the journalistic

quality to deliver this product. I just think it should be on BBC One.

What sort of awed ynss do you imagine there would be, Mr

Nicholson, between 7pm and midnight, BBC Scotland channel? Well, there is

the rub. Inevitably a new channel always has difficulty launching and

attracting viewers. We'll have to monitor this. I just heard this

announcement like you in the last half an hour. So, I'm not quite sure

what audience figures the BBC anticipates, but obviously the

channel is only going to be running for a few hours every evening. It

will be a brand-new channel and it will have to establish its identity

and get consumer loyalty to it. This is another reason I think the

Scottish six was important. Everybody knows where BBC One is and

that's why it was vital, I think, that the Scottish six should replace

the current six and I think the BBC I'm afraid has missed an opportunity

to deliver for the people of Scotland here on that specific

issue. Thank you very much. Thank you, John Nicholson, SNP, MP and

Lorna Gordon, our Scotland correspondent. More on BBC News

throughout the day on that story. Victims of crimes being made

to feel like criminals. That's what the victims'

commissioner Baroness Newlowe says That's what the victims'

commissioner Baroness Newlove says is happening to children,

when they report violent She's warning that too often they're

not taken seriously, accused of wasting police time

or simply not believed. He reported an assault

to police two years ago. Tell us about the young people you

spoke to and what experiences they were recounting? They were

experiencing not feeling believed. They didn't get the right

information when they were told. Police didn't deliver anything back

to them. Some people just felt that they were one young victim felt that

while she was in this, you know, in an interview room it felt like, she

was in a padded cell. So, because of their age, they didn't feel they

were believed and didn't have any confidence, but more importantly

they weren't getting the right entitlements as set out in the

victims' code. These were in some cases, some serious crimes that they

were alleging, weren't they? You have rape victims and sexual abuse

victims. We're not talking, and I don't like the words lower level,

but these were serious crimes and we have got to gain confidence and

children need to have that confidence to come forward.

Do you accept that some progress has been made in recent years with the

way the police particularly when it comes to sexual offences crimes,

approach alleged victims? Well, if you look at this review, it doesn't

really stand out as if it is that. I think we're raising more awareness.

It is a small number of children. It is a small number of children, but

they are not the most easiest to have a conversation and I don't want

to retraumatise them. What highlights in the review is the

policies are not fit for purpose and the culture needs to shift from a

lot more quicker, we have a landscape of child sexual abuse and

we need to ensure that these victims feel that they are being recognised

and being understood even though they are children.

If you run your way home from school, attacked by an 18-year-old

on the bus? What happened? I was on my way home, got approached by an

18-year-old, sorting me on the bus. My face was busted up, rushed to

hospital. -- assaulting me. The police came to hospital, saying they

would get back to me, they did, took mugshots. From them, they have never

got back to me since. Quite devastating, I thought I could trust

them to help me. They just left it. Taking it seriously, taking pictures

of the injuries, you thought they would go away and investigate, but

absolutely nothing? Did you try to contact them? We contacted them,

they did not come back, just left it. As if it was rubbish. A couple

of months ago, picking up your little brother from school,

effectively a gang pulled a knife on you? No. Sorry, I have made a

mistake, that are not happen. Do you have any faith in the police? Not

really. I see it as, they are there to help you, when it comes to young

people, they do not take us seriously. We are partly to blame,

we do things to give them because to think and why should we help you? At

the same time, we are all equal. They should help us. They don't

really do that? There are loads of police officers that treat children

with respect, investigating claims thoroughly. We cannot generalise? We

cannot generalise, but the review showed they are not adhering to the

victims code. Most things that irritates people are communication.

If you report the crime can you expect them to come back and help.

If they're going to charge, not charge. They should never be left to

think what is going on? Even if the police contacted you, saying we

cannot go anywhere with this, I am sorry, to let you know it will we

are closing the file, that been something? The least I would have

been informed, and no. Pulling you do not that. If you found yourself

in the same scenario again, assaulted on a bus? Would you report

it first they say you should. I don't think I would. I don't know

what they are going to do. I have done it once, did not get back to

me, why should I do it again? Shaking your head? I am disgusted,

some of the victims we have interviewed said the same. They

would not come forward again. We're hearing continuously ever abused

children. That is not what I wanted the review to do. My daughters went

through the criminal justice system, I wanted to see if it was any better

ten years later. I am disgusted, if children come to who are harmed,

rates, sexually abused, these are serious crimes, they should be put

there, giving entitlements. It is part of their recovery. You cannot

just leave them, feeling it is their fault. And have no confidence to

come forward. Thank you very much. The government has promised ?200

million for emergency aid for South Sudan.

It comes after a state of famine was declared

in parts of the country, the first to be announced in any

part of the world since 2011. According to the United Nations

and the South Sudanese government, the famine is affecting around

100 thousand people. Just under five million -

40% of the population - are in urgent need of food.

South Sudan is the world's newest country - it gained independence

from Sudan six years ago, but hopes of prosperity have been

shattered by three years of civil war and economic collapse.

Lily, the introduction makes clear how serious this is. Give our

audience an insight into the kind of people you are trying to help? We

have Unicef colleagues of mine, working on warning for months that

the food and security situation in South Sudan and surrounding

countries has become severe. Families with children not knowing

where the next meal is coming from. Having to exist on whatever they can

come across. Many children severely malnourished. We are reaching some

of those children with therapeutic food. We're doing that with

thousands of children. We have now reached a severe situation,

officially there is famine, and areas so affected by the conflict,

so insecure, we can't even reach them. When you say officially there

is famine, what criteria needs to be met? Sounds like a brutal question,

but for our audience, what criteria for an official famine? The criteria
