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

:00:10. > :00:14.Labour's leaked manifesto promises a radical agenda including plans

:00:15. > :00:16.to nationalise the railways, abolish tuition fees

:00:17. > :00:22.The party's campaign co-ordinator says the leak isn't a sign

:00:23. > :00:28.He says he is relaxed about the leak.

:00:29. > :00:31.Leaks happen, they always happen and they probably always will.

:00:32. > :00:33.But the point is there's an opportunity now, we're talking

:00:34. > :00:35.about Labour's policies a week in advance of

:00:36. > :00:40.We'll be live in Westminster with all the details.

:00:41. > :00:44.Also on on the programme today - Olaseni Lewis died after police used

:00:45. > :00:50.multiple force to restrain him in a mental health hospital.

:00:51. > :00:57.His parents tell us about their long fight for justice.

:00:58. > :01:08.And are we heading for a stroke epidemic? We will hear from one

:01:09. > :01:09.young woman in her 20s who says her symptoms were dismissed as a

:01:10. > :01:13.migraine. Welcome to the programme,

:01:14. > :01:19.we're live until 11 this morning. Let us know what you think of the

:01:20. > :01:28.plans in Labour's leaked manifesto. We really interested to hear your

:01:29. > :01:31.views. We're talking about social media

:01:32. > :01:36.gaffes today after the rapper Bow Wow posted suggesting

:01:37. > :01:38.that he was flying to New York People are now posting their own

:01:39. > :01:43.exaggerated claims under We'll show you some

:01:44. > :01:48.of the best ones. Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:49. > :01:51.we're talking about this morning - use the hashtag #VictoriaLive

:01:52. > :01:54.and if you text, you will be charged the BBC has obtained a leaked draft

:01:55. > :01:59.of Labour's manifesto, which promises to nationalise

:02:00. > :02:01.the railways as franchises expire and to abolish

:02:02. > :02:03.tuition fees in England. The document, seen by several

:02:04. > :02:06.newspapers, also pledges to return Royal Mail to public ownership

:02:07. > :02:09.and bring in an energy price cap. Norman Smith is at a labour campaign

:02:10. > :02:24.event in Central London. Well, there is a lot in here, that a

:02:25. > :02:31.lot will say is transformative, radical, how much will be in the

:02:32. > :02:35.actual manifesto next week? Well, Labour folk are not denying the

:02:36. > :02:39.authenticity of the leaked document. But some are incredulous that it has

:02:40. > :02:44.been leaked, because it does seem to be a deliberate attempt to

:02:45. > :02:48.destabilise and damage Jeremy Corbyn, although his people are

:02:49. > :02:51.saying there is not going to be any witchhunt or recriminations, we are

:02:52. > :02:55.relaxed about it, it gives us a chance to talk about policies. He

:02:56. > :03:00.was meant to be here at the poster launch, he has not turned up so he

:03:01. > :03:04.can concentrate on the meeting later today to finalise the details of the

:03:05. > :03:07.manifesto. What did we learn from the draft? We learned that Jeremy

:03:08. > :03:13.Corbyn is going into the election with a vast number of pledges,

:03:14. > :03:19.everything from headline pledges about scrapping tuition fees,

:03:20. > :03:22.building 1 million homes, nationalising the railways, bringing

:03:23. > :03:27.parts of the energy industry back into public ownership. And really

:03:28. > :03:32.small things, like ensuring there is free Wi-Fi on trains, or trying to

:03:33. > :03:38.ensure certain pesticides are not used close to bees. The second thing

:03:39. > :03:43.we learned is that this is a Jeremy Corbyn manifesto, permeated with his

:03:44. > :03:47.views and values. There is to be a more generous benefit system, or

:03:48. > :03:54.employment rights, a bigger role for the state to intervene to cap energy

:03:55. > :03:59.prices, cap rental prices. There are about to be big questions about the

:04:00. > :04:06.costs, how it is an advocate for. This morning, their campaign

:04:07. > :04:10.coordinator was trying to put the best gloss on the leak. There are

:04:11. > :04:13.some really good ideas in this document. This document is not the

:04:14. > :04:23.Labour manifesto, because we have got a small matter of a Klaus 5

:04:24. > :04:27.meeting. The Labour Party as a Democratic party, so the reason why

:04:28. > :04:32.I am not in Greater Manchester with you, but down in London, it is

:04:33. > :04:34.because the Shadow Cabinet meeting with the national executive

:04:35. > :04:40.committee, the Parliamentary Committee of backbench MPs and the

:04:41. > :04:47.trade unions, to go through the draft manifesto and decide what we

:04:48. > :04:50.want as our programme for government. After today's meeting,

:04:51. > :04:59.we will have a clearer picture of what is actually the manifesto. But

:05:00. > :05:03.there are some great ideas in there. Some people are comparing this draft

:05:04. > :05:07.manifesto to Michael Foot's very controversial 1983 manifesto. I

:05:08. > :05:12.think a lot of the focus is going to be on the money question. Can they

:05:13. > :05:17.fund some of the very big spending commitments that they made, such as

:05:18. > :05:22.continuing with the triple lock for pensions, ?8 billion for social

:05:23. > :05:25.care, reversing most of the Tories benefit cuts, including extending

:05:26. > :05:30.personal independence payments, which the Government says will cost

:05:31. > :05:34.about ?4 billion, and that big ticket item, abolishing tuition

:05:35. > :05:37.fees, estimated to cost ?11 billion. There will be a huge focus on how

:05:38. > :05:48.Labour pays for all of this. How will it go down with Labour

:05:49. > :05:51.supporters, but also those that support the Conservatives and Ukip,

:05:52. > :06:02.who Labour have two win over if they have any chance of forming a

:06:03. > :06:07.majority? Actually, the draft manifesto is on the thin side, an

:06:08. > :06:12.immigration, there is no indication that they want to reduce it, no

:06:13. > :06:15.mention of freedom of movement. On Brexit, the manifesto restates that

:06:16. > :06:19.the party accepts the outcome of the referendum. But it says it would not

:06:20. > :06:25.accept no deal. Theresa May has said you have to be able to threaten the

:06:26. > :06:29.rest of the EU that we could walk away if we don't get a good deal,

:06:30. > :06:32.Labour says it is an unacceptable situation. It is not clear that it

:06:33. > :06:37.is the sort of manifesto that will peel back those that deserted the

:06:38. > :06:41.Labour Party over Brexit. I think it might hear generational thing. Maybe

:06:42. > :06:55.people who are older will remember Michael Foot's manifesto of 1983,

:06:56. > :07:04.but some of them might be more interesting to people, bringing the

:07:05. > :07:09.railways back into public ownership. The real criticism will be how do

:07:10. > :07:17.you pay for this? It might be over where you are? Yes, a fairly

:07:18. > :07:22.desolate scene. We seem to be standing on a patch of wasteland. I

:07:23. > :07:24.don't know if you can see the back of Waterloo Bridge, it is not

:07:25. > :07:34.exactly glamour Central. But there you go.

:07:35. > :07:43.The rest of the news, here is a neater.

:07:44. > :07:45.James Comey has made his first public comments since

:07:46. > :07:48.President Trump sacked him as the head of the FBI on Tuesday.

:07:49. > :07:50.In a farewell letter to colleagues, Mr Comey said he wasn't

:07:51. > :07:54.going to "spend time on the decision or the way it was executed."

:07:55. > :07:56.Mr Trump said Mr Comey was fired "because he was not

:07:57. > :08:00.Our correspondent, Laura Bicker has more.

:08:01. > :08:04.Donald Trump may have once embraced the FBI director,

:08:05. > :08:12.It's thought the President's frustration had been

:08:13. > :08:16.He hoped allegations that Russia had meddled in the US election

:08:17. > :08:24.to help him win could be dismissed as "fake news".

:08:25. > :08:26.But the towering figure of the FBI kept the story alive

:08:27. > :08:32.That's why Democrats think Mr Trump fired him.

:08:33. > :08:34.The Russian leader offered his opinion on his way

:08:35. > :08:37.TRANSLATION: President Trump is acting in accordance

:08:38. > :08:39.with his competence, and in accordance with his

:08:40. > :08:48.In a farewell letter, James Comey told his colleagues

:08:49. > :08:51.he wasn't going to spend time on the decision or the

:08:52. > :08:56.And he said the American people should see the FBI

:08:57. > :09:07.as a rock of competence, honesty and independence.

:09:08. > :09:09.Meanwhile, the investigation continues and, back at the centre

:09:10. > :09:11.of it is Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser,

:09:12. > :09:14.He was fired for lying about his contacts with

:09:15. > :09:21.Senators have now issued a formal demand, a subpoena, for any

:09:22. > :09:23.documents detailing his Russian contacts or business dealings.

:09:24. > :09:26.The FBI director may be gone, but the inquiry surrounding

:09:27. > :09:27.Donald Trump's aides and their potential

:09:28. > :09:36.Young people on the latest HIV drugs now have a near-normal life

:09:37. > :09:39.expectancy, according to a new study.

:09:40. > :09:45.say new drug treatments mean many people are now living ten years

:09:46. > :09:48.longer than those who started treatment in the mid 1990s.

:09:49. > :09:50.Their findings show a ten-year increase in life expectancy

:09:51. > :09:57.since anti-retroviral drugs became widely available two decades ago.

:09:58. > :09:59.The Conservatives say they will honour the NATO commitment

:10:00. > :10:02.to spend at least 2% of economic output on defence if they're

:10:03. > :10:15.They have also pledged to increase the budget by at least

:10:16. > :10:17.0.5% above inflation in every year of a new Parliament.

:10:18. > :10:20.Meanwhile the Liberal Democrats are to announce that they'd accept

:10:21. > :10:22.10,000 refugees from Syria every year for the duration

:10:23. > :10:26.Party leader Tim Farron will also say that he is committed

:10:27. > :10:28.to reopening the Dubs Programme for unaccompanied children stranded

:10:29. > :10:33.Throughout the election campaign we'll be putting your questions

:10:34. > :10:37.to politicians from all the main parties.

:10:38. > :10:40.Today at 11:30 we'll be putting your questions to the SNP's

:10:41. > :10:43.You can get in touch via Twitter using the hashtag #BBCAskThis,

:10:44. > :10:47.or text your questions to 61124 - and you can email us as well

:10:48. > :10:57.The number of people suffering from strokes across the UK is likely

:10:58. > :11:01.to rise by almost half in the next 20 years, according to a new study.

:11:02. > :11:03.The Stroke Association says it's partly because

:11:04. > :11:06.There are currently 1.2 million people living with the effects

:11:07. > :11:08.of stroke in the UK, with over 100,000

:11:09. > :11:17.We'll be hearing from the Stroke Association and a woman

:11:18. > :11:19.who had two major strokes when she was aged 26 -

:11:20. > :11:25.that's on the programme after 9:30 this morning.

:11:26. > :11:27.A cold-calling firm has been fined a record ?400,000

:11:28. > :11:32.fine for making almost 100 million nuisance calls.

:11:33. > :11:34.Keurboom Communications made unsolicited

:11:35. > :11:35.automated calls relating to road-accident

:11:36. > :11:48.Most of us have received them - cold calls offering anything

:11:49. > :11:50.from help with PPI claims or road accidents, to investing

:11:51. > :11:59.The cold callers play the numbers game, bombarding people in the hope

:12:00. > :12:01.that some will bite and take up their offers.

:12:02. > :12:07.This one company, Keurboom Communications

:12:08. > :12:09.based in Bedfordshire, made almost 100 million automated

:12:10. > :12:15.The calls were about a variety of subjects, including PPI

:12:16. > :12:22.People got numerous calls, often on the same day,

:12:23. > :12:27.Companies are allowed to make marketing calls,

:12:28. > :12:34.but only if you've given permission, such as ticking a box on a form.

:12:35. > :12:36.This company didn't have permission, and so got a record ?400,000 fine

:12:37. > :12:41.You can avoid many nuisance calls by signing up

:12:42. > :12:46.New laws which will allow the directors of cold call companies

:12:47. > :12:49.which broke the rules to be fined should also mean fewer

:12:50. > :12:58.Three women are due to appear in court in London today,

:12:59. > :13:02.charged with preparing a terrorist act and conspiracy to murder.

:13:03. > :13:04.They include 21-year-old Rizlaine Boular, who was shot

:13:05. > :13:11.by police during a raid at a property in Willesden two weeks ago.

:13:12. > :13:14.Seven other people, arrested as part of the investigation,

:13:15. > :13:21.have been released from police custody.

:13:26. > :13:28.He was greeted with cheers at the premiere of the new film

:13:29. > :13:31.King Arthur: Legend of the Sword in Los Angeles, but the reception

:13:32. > :13:34.for his cameo performance as a soldier in the movie has been

:13:35. > :13:49.You can make up your own mind if you go to see that one.

:13:50. > :13:52.That's a summary of the latest BBC News, more at 9:30.

:13:53. > :13:59.Do get in touch with us throughout the morning.

:14:00. > :14:08.Let us know what you think about the Wallace is in the Labour manifesto,

:14:09. > :14:12.abolishing tuition fees, no immigration target, 100,000 new

:14:13. > :14:15.council homes built each year. All of the caveats, it is just the

:14:16. > :14:22.draft. We will see what makes it into the final document. Carolyn

:14:23. > :14:26.says it looks really good, especially tuition fees, starting to

:14:27. > :14:28.warm to Jeremy Corbyn. Stewart says he sees a series of excellent

:14:29. > :14:34.proposals that would be popular with many voters. One who did not leave

:14:35. > :14:41.their name, leaked deliberately, if you ask me. Assess the fallout and

:14:42. > :14:47.then say it is just a draft. Another says that it is incredibly

:14:48. > :14:50.far-fetched, Labour have become a joke among working-class people.

:14:51. > :14:51.Your views are really welcome and we will feed them into the conversation

:14:52. > :14:53.with our guests. Let's get some sport now with Hugh,

:14:54. > :14:56.and news this morning that the FA have entered the debate

:14:57. > :14:59.about the huge fees earned There has always been a view that

:15:00. > :15:03.agents were the negative side of the game, always looking to make

:15:04. > :15:06.as much money as possible without having a player's

:15:07. > :15:09.best interests at heart. However, there are many players

:15:10. > :15:14.who'd say agents play an invaluable role in representing them,

:15:15. > :15:16.especially in things Whichever way you look at it,

:15:17. > :15:20.it can be a lucrative business. The FA Chairman Greg Clarke has this

:15:21. > :15:25.morning dismissed suggestions there is a moral issue in the game

:15:26. > :15:28.after FIFA, the world governing body, opened an investigation

:15:29. > :15:30.into the transfer of Paul Pogba Mino Raiola is Pogba's agent

:15:31. > :15:35.and he is reported to have earned a rather incredible ?41 million

:15:36. > :15:38.for brokering a world record transfer for Pogba

:15:39. > :15:39.from Juventus last summer. Claims suggest United may have paid

:15:40. > :15:42.Raiola ?22 million directly, Here's Clarke's view

:15:43. > :16:01.on the situation. If Manchester United want to pay an

:16:02. > :16:05.agent that much money, and I do not know, I have not looked into each

:16:06. > :16:10.individual transfer, that is what they are going to pay. They are

:16:11. > :16:14.accountable to their owners and their fans. How much should we pay

:16:15. > :16:18.for players and how much should go to agents as a commercial

:16:19. > :16:22.transaction? If football wants to change that and limit the amount of

:16:23. > :16:28.money agents get, we have to sit down as a game, led by the FA and

:16:29. > :16:32.Some of the Arsenal faithful may have to eat

:16:33. > :16:40.Will he lead their team to Champions Cup football?

:16:41. > :16:43.You may remember Arsenal went through a dreadful run of form

:16:44. > :16:46.It prompted protest marches before home games,

:16:47. > :16:48.even planes with Wenger Out messages.

:16:49. > :16:50.All targeted at Arsene Wenger, who still hasn't told us if he'll

:16:51. > :16:53.be staying at the club for next season.

:16:54. > :16:56.But after reaching the FA Cup final, the club are now three points

:16:57. > :17:03.They beat Southampton 2-0 last night for a fourth win in their last

:17:04. > :17:05.six Premier League outings, thanks to second-half

:17:06. > :17:10.goals from Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud.

:17:11. > :17:13.So this is how the run-in to the end of the season looks.

:17:14. > :17:15.Liverpool in third have just two matches left, Manchester City

:17:16. > :17:19.Arsenal will need one of those to drop points.

:17:20. > :17:22.You'd imagine they'd need three wins from their trip to Stoke this

:17:23. > :17:24.weekend and home games with Sunderland and

:17:25. > :17:28.So that home support at the Emirates could be crucial,

:17:29. > :17:31.and if they do make it there will be a lot of fans

:17:32. > :17:37.returning to the Wenger In section of their support.

:17:38. > :17:44.And talk of a major change to call's biggest event this week.

:17:45. > :17:50.couple of years in golf, whether or not they need a fifth

:17:51. > :17:53.Today marks the start of what has always been dubbed

:17:54. > :17:55."the unofficial fifth Major" - the Players' Championship

:17:56. > :17:59.And now there is more reason to think it will now be

:18:00. > :18:02.That only genuinely happens when there is universal

:18:03. > :18:04.agreement that a tournament deserves such status.

:18:05. > :18:07.The Open Championship here, the US Open, The Masters and the US

:18:08. > :18:09.PGA are the current four, but give the ?8 million

:18:10. > :18:11.of prize money, the fact it returns to same course

:18:12. > :18:15.every year with some of the best Players in the world means it does

:18:16. > :18:18.But should it get that elevated status,

:18:19. > :18:20.all of that may change, with new markets and new locations

:18:21. > :18:23.such as China, Japan or Australia all options as the sport tries

:18:24. > :18:38.I have got to ask. Our cardigans back in? Were they

:18:39. > :18:44.ever out? Have I missed something? You are

:18:45. > :18:46.looking good. Good morning and welcome to the programme.

:18:47. > :18:47.Good morning and welcome to the programme.

:18:48. > :18:50.The media regulator Ofcom will hear from a US lawyer this afternoon

:18:51. > :18:53.who represents more than 20 people accusing Fox News of racial

:18:54. > :18:59.It is part of a review into whether 21st Century Fox should

:19:00. > :19:01.be allowed to take complete control of Sky.

:19:02. > :19:04.Douglas Wigdor is due to give evidence on behalf of the men

:19:05. > :19:10.Earlier this week another lawyer and an alleged victim of sexual

:19:11. > :19:13.harassment by former Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly also gave

:19:14. > :19:18.Here's a bit more on the background of the allegations

:19:19. > :19:22.Well, we have a contest on billoreilly.com.

:19:23. > :19:27.I'll have a full report when I return.

:19:28. > :19:29.But Bill O'Reilly wasn't coming back.

:19:30. > :19:32.He'd been the main presenter and biggest star on the US TV

:19:33. > :19:38.That came to an end last month when it emerged a number of women

:19:39. > :19:40.had made sexual harassment allegations against

:19:41. > :19:48.Five cases have been settled out of court by O'Reilly and Fox

:19:49. > :19:54.One unnamed black colleague said O'Reilly called her "hot chocolate",

:19:55. > :20:03.We are so happy that he's gone, and he's longer going to be able

:20:04. > :20:06.We are so happy that he's gone, and he's no longer going to be able

:20:07. > :20:09.to spit all of his vile comments and everything that comes out

:20:10. > :20:12.of his mouth that is disparaging not only to women but specifically

:20:13. > :20:14.to black women and black folks all over the world.

:20:15. > :20:17.One of O'Reilly's accusers reported her claims to Fox in early April.

:20:18. > :20:20.In 2013, I experienced sexual harassment as a job applicant

:20:21. > :20:24.Wendy Walsh, a psychologist who appeared on O'Reilly's show,

:20:25. > :20:27.said she refused to join him in his hotel room after

:20:28. > :20:33.O'Reilly then allegedly withdrew the job he had offered her.

:20:34. > :20:36.Fox initially stuck with O'Reilly, but several major sponsors pulled

:20:44. > :20:49.O'Reilly said it was tremendously disheartening to leave Fox over

:20:50. > :20:54.It's not the first time the organisation has had to deal

:20:55. > :21:01.Last July, Fox News boss Roger Ailes resigned over similar allegations.

:21:02. > :21:04.The acting Fox News CEO, Rupert Murdoch, has tried to usher

:21:05. > :21:07.in a new era at the channel by issuing an internal memo also

:21:08. > :21:11.signed by his sons saying he's committed to fostering a work

:21:12. > :21:15.environment built on trust and respect.

:21:16. > :21:20.But Murdoch dismissed any concerns about the culture at Fox News.

:21:21. > :21:28.And you don't think Ofcom are going to consider what's

:21:29. > :21:35.It comes at a delicate time for Mr Murdoch.

:21:36. > :21:38.21st Century Fox is trying to buy the remaining 61%

:21:39. > :21:42.The media regulator Ofcom is currently deciding

:21:43. > :21:48.whether the takeover should go ahead or not.

:21:49. > :21:54.Earlier this week Joanna spoke to Wendy Walsh,

:21:55. > :22:00.regulator in this country on Monday to explain to them why she thought

:22:01. > :22:03.they shouldn't allow Ofcom to allow Fox to buy the rest of Sky News.

:22:04. > :22:06.She was an unpaid guest on Bill O'Reilly's show

:22:07. > :22:08.and claims he sexually harassed her after a work dinner.

:22:09. > :22:16.I turned left to go to the bar, thinking we were going to continue

:22:17. > :22:29.I said yes to dinner and I thought I would keep its business and it was

:22:30. > :22:34.an opportunity to be a paid contributor. He told me the chairman

:22:35. > :22:39.was his good friend and they were going to offer me a position as the

:22:40. > :22:45.and the dinner felt like a celebratory dinner.

:22:46. > :22:47.He turned toward the right, toward the hotel rooms.

:22:48. > :22:52.When I said, "Oh, I think the bar's this way," he said, "No,

:22:53. > :22:56.I said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

:22:57. > :22:58.And I said, you know, "We're both parents,

:22:59. > :22:59.we're raising girls, we have teenage daughters.

:23:00. > :23:02.Maybe we should model some good choices."

:23:03. > :23:07.And we got to the bar and his demeanour changed

:23:08. > :23:09.from charming to hostile, and he said the words,

:23:10. > :23:11."You can forget about all the career advice I gave you.

:23:12. > :23:17.So I knew that my days were limited there, and like so many victims

:23:18. > :23:19.of sexual harassment, we women think, I can fix this.

:23:20. > :23:22.I'll let him know I'm not litigious, I'm not going to sue,

:23:23. > :23:24.I'll send him lots of cringeworthy suck-up-to-the boss e-mails,

:23:25. > :23:27.and in fact they tried to defame me by leaking some of these e-mails,

:23:28. > :23:34.but eventually he had an executive producer get rid of me.

:23:35. > :23:43.Did you raise it at the channel? No, because of two reasons. Women of my

:23:44. > :23:46.generation are so accustomed to navigating around these landmines

:23:47. > :23:52.that we have almost normalised sexual harassment. I thought,

:23:53. > :23:57.another one, so I almost sucked it up. Secondly, I did not know as a

:23:58. > :24:02.job applicant I could have the case for sexual harassment. I did not

:24:03. > :24:06.call age are until a New York Times reporter contacted me a few months

:24:07. > :24:09.ago and she was doing an investigation and she found that Fox

:24:10. > :24:13.News had been paying of many women over the years due to lots of

:24:14. > :24:17.different men sexually harassing women and they were unable to talk

:24:18. > :24:22.because they were gag order. I was in the position to tell the truth

:24:23. > :24:25.and I had to make an ethical decision to lie to the New York

:24:26. > :24:29.Times to protect Bill O'Reilly and Fox News or tell the truth and make

:24:30. > :24:35.Let's talk to Douglas Wigdor - who represents more than 20 current

:24:36. > :24:38.and former Fox News employees - he's here now.

:24:39. > :24:46.You are in this country because you are giving evidence to the British

:24:47. > :24:50.media regulator this afternoon, representing 21 alleged victims. If

:24:51. > :24:54.our audience a sense of the allegations they are making. I

:24:55. > :25:01.represent over 20 dedicated men and women who worked or currently who

:25:02. > :25:05.work at Fox News. I refer to 21st century Fox as 18th century Fox

:25:06. > :25:09.because of the systemic, widescale discrimination based on race and

:25:10. > :25:15.gender going on there. I represent a woman who went for an interview with

:25:16. > :25:19.Roger Ailes and at the interview she was asked to turn around to see her

:25:20. > :25:22.appearance and he said he liked what he saw and he called her

:25:23. > :25:28.ex-boyfriend and asked about their sex life. I represent the only black

:25:29. > :25:32.male anchor who try to do positive stories on black America and he was

:25:33. > :25:37.met with resistance by Bill O'Reilly and by other people who were working

:25:38. > :25:42.for Fox News. It is reminiscent with what is going on with the Sun

:25:43. > :25:45.newspaper. I read about this so-called journalist McKenzie, I

:25:46. > :25:50.believe his name is, who referred to a footballer as a gorilla. That

:25:51. > :26:00.happened at the New York Post and another New York robber murder

:26:01. > :26:13.entity. It happened with a former client, who was the made in the in

:26:14. > :26:19.another rape case. This is a statement from a few weeks ago.

:26:20. > :26:22.After a thorough and careful review of the alligators, the company and

:26:23. > :26:27.Bill O'Reilly have agreed he will not be returning to the Fox News

:26:28. > :26:32.Channel. They have got rid of Bill O'Reilly and Rupert Murdoch says

:26:33. > :26:37.nothing is happening at Fox News, ratings are going up and it is

:26:38. > :26:41.sorted. That is why they have an 18th century mentality because the

:26:42. > :26:47.fans are that Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes left with over $60

:26:48. > :26:51.million. How is that relevant? He denied the allegations. He says, it

:26:52. > :26:56.is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely

:26:57. > :27:00.unfounded claims. That is the unfortunate reality many of us in

:27:01. > :27:04.the public eye have to live with today. I would ask them to waive the

:27:05. > :27:08.confidentiality clauses that they have entered into with all the

:27:09. > :27:13.victims so the public can see what these people went through. What they

:27:14. > :27:19.allege, which Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ayles denied. That is why Fox

:27:20. > :27:22.News have tried to pay these people off and bind them through

:27:23. > :27:27.confidentiality. You do not know that. They have admitted to the

:27:28. > :27:33.public in terms of race cases and they have said that the head

:27:34. > :27:36.controllers' behaviour was abhorrent. They said the allegations

:27:37. > :27:44.raised were legitimate and abhorrent. What happened is the head

:27:45. > :27:48.lawyer or Fox News knew about these allegations as far back as 2008 and

:27:49. > :27:53.waited many years before they could do anything about it. Bill

:27:54. > :27:58.O'Reilly's lawyer said he had been subjected to a brutal campaign of

:27:59. > :28:01.character assassination being orchestrated by far left

:28:02. > :28:05.organisations bent on destroying O'Reilly for political and financial

:28:06. > :28:11.reasons. Are you part of a left-wing organisation? If I am, someone needs

:28:12. > :28:15.to tell me about it because I am a lifelong Republican because I have

:28:16. > :28:20.been on record during the presidential campaign supporting

:28:21. > :28:25.Donald Trump. I would be quite pressed to be characterised as part

:28:26. > :28:31.of a left-wing conspiracy. What about other left-wing organisations?

:28:32. > :28:37.Do you buy this attack from Bill O'Reilly's attorney? I do not. What

:28:38. > :28:41.people want is equality in the workplace and you have systemic,

:28:42. > :28:46.widespread, industrial scale discrimination based on race, based

:28:47. > :28:50.on gender at the very top levels. When you have a lawyer, who is still

:28:51. > :28:56.there by the way, who has presided over all of these cases, I alone

:28:57. > :29:00.represent over 20 people, I have it all lying and fabricating things?

:29:01. > :29:07.Obviously not. You cannot say obviously not. You need to test it

:29:08. > :29:10.in a court of law. What will you be saying to Ofcom today? Why are you

:29:11. > :29:14.saying 21st-century Fox should not be allowed to buy the rest of Sky

:29:15. > :29:21.TV? I look forward to testing this in a court of law. Have your clients

:29:22. > :29:24.have been to the police? Fox News wants to get these cases into

:29:25. > :29:30.arbitration. They do not want to go into court. They do not want to go

:29:31. > :29:36.into a chamber where nobody can watch the proceedings. I am all

:29:37. > :29:41.about a public airing of these issues. I have never lost a trial.

:29:42. > :29:47.This will not be the first one. You represent 21 of the alleged victims.

:29:48. > :29:51.Have any of them been to the police? These are not criminal acts, they

:29:52. > :29:56.are civil acts in America. The answer is no, these are all things

:29:57. > :30:00.that you can get in the civil system, so they have not gone to the

:30:01. > :30:05.police. I am going to Ofcom this afternoon and the reason is to talk

:30:06. > :30:10.to them about each of these cases. I cannot go into all the detail here,

:30:11. > :30:15.but I will with them and I will let them assess those facts and decide

:30:16. > :30:19.what they want to do with those, but it paints a very bleak picture. When

:30:20. > :30:22.you have Rupert Murdoch saying there is nothing wrong with Fox News

:30:23. > :30:28.because the ratings are good, he has his head in the sand. I agree we

:30:29. > :30:32.have not proven the allegations yet, but with the admissions by Fox, and

:30:33. > :30:36.the court proceedings will continue in court, and the public ear and in

:30:37. > :30:40.America will get to see the legitimacy of these claims. Thank

:30:41. > :30:46.you very much. Representing 21 alleged victims of sexual and racial

:32:04. > :32:05.dismissal is linked to the FBI investigation into alleged links

:32:06. > :32:10.between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mr Trump said that James

:34:18. > :34:20.only affects older people and the charity says everyone should

:34:21. > :34:23.know what the signs are. Let's talk to Cindy-Janine

:34:24. > :34:25.Sousa-Goncalves, who had two major strokes when she was 26,

:34:26. > :34:27.and Alexis Wieroniey, the Deputy Director of Policy,

:34:28. > :34:44.Stroke Association. These are projected figures. They

:34:45. > :34:49.sound incredibly alarming, set to almost double in the next 20 years.

:34:50. > :34:54.How do you get those projections? The study looked at the global

:34:55. > :34:59.burden of disease index, which is a global index which looks at making

:35:00. > :35:05.predictions, what is happening right now, in strokes and diseases across

:35:06. > :35:09.the world. They took data on the incidents now, population now, and

:35:10. > :35:13.combine that with projections. The projection is what will happen with

:35:14. > :35:17.our population if we do exactly what we are doing now. That means that we

:35:18. > :35:20.need to take more action to prevent strokes now to prevent this from

:35:21. > :35:29.happening. If these figures are borne out, what are the implications

:35:30. > :35:34.for us as a population and for the NHS? We already know that the NHS is

:35:35. > :35:37.struggling under the pressure of the ageing population and we know that

:35:38. > :35:43.social care is also under pressure. We know that pressures will only

:35:44. > :35:46.increase. Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability, it is

:35:47. > :35:50.about two thirds of stroke survivors that leave hospital with a

:35:51. > :35:53.disability. It also has a bigger range of disabilities than any other

:35:54. > :35:58.condition. It is not just physical impairments. We know of one man

:35:59. > :36:02.whose wife woke up in hospital with no physical impairments, but could

:36:03. > :36:07.not remember who she was. It is physical and hidden effects that

:36:08. > :36:10.people are living with as a long-term condition. It is great

:36:11. > :36:15.more people are surviving a stroke because of advances in treatment,

:36:16. > :36:19.but we have a real problem of people living at a stroke with little or no

:36:20. > :36:25.support. Cindy, tell us what happened with your two strokes? I

:36:26. > :36:30.was in an internet cafe on a Friday with my friend, doing some work.

:36:31. > :36:33.Suddenly, my vision completely went. Everything was distorted and I lost

:36:34. > :36:40.my balance. I couldn't really figure out where I was. I ended up going to

:36:41. > :36:44.the hospital. They sent me home, saying I had a migraine. Over the

:36:45. > :36:47.next four days, I kept going back to the hospital, because my vision

:36:48. > :36:53.would not come back. They kept sending me home. When I had another

:36:54. > :36:56.stroke on Monday, I could not control my body, I was spinning in

:36:57. > :37:00.circles and could not stop. My body was just doing what it wanted. My

:37:01. > :37:07.coordination, my vision was not there. Again, I went to hospital and

:37:08. > :37:10.it took another four days to get a CT scan, because they would not give

:37:11. > :37:16.it to me. Then they told me I had multiple strokes will stop How did

:37:17. > :37:20.you react to that? I was gobsmacked, completely gobsmacked. Because my

:37:21. > :37:24.mother had had four strokes before, I kind of guessed that I have had a

:37:25. > :37:30.stroke, especially after the second one. Then took a long time for me to

:37:31. > :37:37.be able to walk again, to write again, do everything again. How old

:37:38. > :37:41.are you now? 27. Not that long ago, then? Tell me about the impact on

:37:42. > :37:49.your life now. I have a lot of problems with my vision, my visual

:37:50. > :37:57.field, it is very distorted. With lighting, I can't see things, I see

:37:58. > :38:03.things in fours and fives. I have Parkinson's in my right side, and

:38:04. > :38:06.weakness in that side. I get very tired, extreme fatigue, I can't be

:38:07. > :38:12.awake for very long. It has left me with a lot of problems. I have got a

:38:13. > :38:16.young child as well. She is three? Yes. There is stuff you cannot do

:38:17. > :38:22.with her that you normally would be doing as a 27-year-old mum? I used

:38:23. > :38:26.to be out and about with her all the time and I can't do that any more.

:38:27. > :38:31.Do you know why you have the strokes? Not yet. I do have some

:38:32. > :38:38.problems with my heart and they are still investigating, but they can't

:38:39. > :38:42.tell me definitely why. Alexis, 1.2 million people like Cindy currently

:38:43. > :38:49.live with the effects of a stroke. What can we do to prevent ourselves

:38:50. > :38:52.having a stroke? The good news is that 80% of strokes are preventable,

:38:53. > :38:57.that is why it is a travesty that we see so many still happening across

:38:58. > :39:01.the UK and the world today. It is generally healthy living advice, you

:39:02. > :39:04.should be eating healthily, do not eat too much salt, smoking doubles

:39:05. > :39:08.the risk, if you are smoking you should definitely stop. Two of the

:39:09. > :39:12.most important things are that half of our strokes are caused by high

:39:13. > :39:17.blood pressure, and another 20% or 30% are caused by a condition which

:39:18. > :39:24.is an irregular heartbeat, that increases the risk. Is that what you

:39:25. > :39:29.had? Yes. If people take time to check blood pressure regularly...

:39:30. > :39:35.How do you do that? It is simple, you can go to your GP, some of them

:39:36. > :39:44.have machines in the waiting room, most pharmacies checked for free.

:39:45. > :39:51.You can go to one of The Stroke Association Events. Smoking, eating

:39:52. > :39:57.too much salt, poor diet, being too sedentary, and some people have high

:39:58. > :40:00.blood pressure from other causes. It is important to check it once a

:40:01. > :40:05.year. It takes less than five minutes. If you are found to have

:40:06. > :40:10.high blood pressure, lifestyle changes can address that, or tablets

:40:11. > :40:16.can drastically reduce the risk. We know that there are seven million

:40:17. > :40:19.people living with high blood pressure. Why do we know so much

:40:20. > :40:24.about cancer and the symptoms, and we really do not when it comes to

:40:25. > :40:27.having a stroke, which, according to these figures, almost half of us are

:40:28. > :40:33.going to experience in the next 20 years if we don't do anything? It is

:40:34. > :40:39.a huge problem, we know that awareness is relatively high because

:40:40. > :40:47.of TV adverts. But we have people that didn't know the risk factors,

:40:48. > :40:51.and we don't know why. You associated with older people. Yes,

:40:52. > :40:59.and a quarter of strokes happen to people aged under 65. There are too

:41:00. > :41:03.many people living with strokes that could have been prevented, that

:41:04. > :41:12.aren't getting the support they need. Thank you very much. Thank you

:41:13. > :41:13.for talking to us. It is excellent that you are raising awareness in

:41:14. > :41:22.the way that you are. Let me read you more comments from

:41:23. > :41:28.people that are reacting to the leaked draft of the general

:41:29. > :41:32.manifesto from the Labour Party. Gareth, the manifesto, as reported,

:41:33. > :41:36.is truly inspirational in these troubled times. Why on earth would

:41:37. > :41:42.they be worried it has been leaked? It is clear Jeremy Corbyn's Labour

:41:47. > :41:49.needs an overhaul. The NHS is struggling and everybody wants to

:42:00. > :42:02.and depression. We need to invest in people, not steal from them to give

:42:07. > :42:09.Labour make too many promises that are going to cost too much money

:42:10. > :42:14.and, like last term, the end of their last time, when precious

:42:25. > :42:28.Coming up, we'll have a look at how rapper Bow Wow was caught out

:42:29. > :42:34.Shares in the owner of Snapchat have sunk by nearly a quarter.

:42:35. > :42:37.The problem for stockmarkets is that Snapchat hasn't grown quickly enough

:42:38. > :42:41.since its floatation earlier this year.

:42:42. > :42:43.Competition from rivals like Facebook hasn't helped.

:42:44. > :42:46.The amount of money it generated in the last three months nearly

:42:47. > :42:48.trebled to nearly ?115 million, but that's disappointing

:42:49. > :42:51.Jasper Lawler is a Senior Markets Analyst at London

:42:52. > :43:09.What is that? It is a brokerage, we work in Mayfair. Good for you. Why

:43:10. > :43:12.are the results so bad? Like you inferred, the results are actually

:43:13. > :43:18.pretty good. They tripled their sales over last year, but in

:43:19. > :43:23.stock-market parlance, they missed expectations. The market expected

:43:24. > :43:26.more. The big metric that we tend to follow with these kind of tech

:43:27. > :43:30.companies, because they were not expected to make any money, we knew

:43:31. > :43:34.they would make a loss, we are tracking whether they can make a

:43:35. > :43:38.profit in the future, through user growth. User growth was not as fast

:43:39. > :43:44.as it has been in the past. It is slowing, still growing, but slowing.

:43:45. > :43:47.This is leading into the fears that Wall Street had originally, that

:43:48. > :43:51.Snapchat is going to never quite make it in the big leagues of the

:43:52. > :43:55.internet advertising giants, like Google and Facebook. One of the big

:43:56. > :43:58.reasons is that Facebook are stealing a lot of their ideas and

:43:59. > :44:05.copying features into their own apps. Like what? Stories is a big

:44:06. > :44:09.feature. You can add together clips and videos of what you have been

:44:10. > :44:12.doing, share it with your friends, manipulated in various ways and that

:44:13. > :44:17.can be used to incorporate with adverts. That is how they make

:44:18. > :44:20.money. Facebook already has a massive audience, so they are

:44:21. > :44:22.sending the same features to the already massive audience. Snapchat

:44:23. > :44:31.are still trying to grow the audience. Snapchat was launched as a

:44:32. > :44:43.camera app, wasn't it? I don't know any teenager that uses it. They take

:44:44. > :44:47.pictures and are adding ears and whiskers, but mostly they are using

:44:48. > :44:52.it to chat? It was a confusing listing, they have some hardware as

:44:53. > :44:55.well, they could integrate it with glasses, interacting almost

:44:56. > :45:03.constantly with your friends, doing stories, sharing it. Essentially it

:45:04. > :45:07.is a messaging app. The way you have to look at it at this point, we are

:45:08. > :45:12.almost back to the IPO price. What does that mean? Where they listed

:45:13. > :45:15.the stock initially, just three months ago. The share price jumped

:45:16. > :45:20.up a lot in the first day and now it is back where it started. Any

:45:21. > :45:25.potential investor now has a new opportunity. Why would you do that?

:45:26. > :45:28.Because of the future potential. The potential I can see is actually

:45:29. > :45:32.advertising, where they make their money, it could potentially be a lot

:45:33. > :45:37.more interesting and interactive for users on Snapchat. How? Rather than

:45:38. > :45:39.being a pain, as adverts mostly appear to be, I can demonstrate on

:45:40. > :45:52.the phone, if you would like. I can bring it up on the telephone.

:45:53. > :46:02.If I go to stories, you can add some friends and these are stories from

:46:03. > :46:07.Cosmopolitan. So you read Cosmopolitan? This is for

:46:08. > :46:12.demonstration purposes, I promise! I will try not to move it around too

:46:13. > :46:21.much. A good example is people follow what their friends are doing

:46:22. > :46:28.and celebrities. Again, purely for demonstration, this is the story and

:46:29. > :46:34.she is playing around with some goats in Mexico maybe. People are

:46:35. > :46:39.watching this and they have chosen to watch it. The difference with

:46:40. > :46:43.advertising on TV is Snapchat know what you have been browsing in your

:46:44. > :46:48.search history and they know you are watching this by choice and they

:46:49. > :46:54.send you a targeted advert that you are very likely to act on. So it is

:46:55. > :47:02.not interactive. I am thinking you do not mean that there is an advert

:47:03. > :47:07.you can manipulate. They are selling you a vision. They are saying, this

:47:08. > :47:12.is what the future is. It is not something you have chosen to watch

:47:13. > :47:15.and suddenly you are playing a game. There was an advert at the end of

:47:16. > :47:20.this and it was an online subscription service where you could

:47:21. > :47:26.subscribe right there using Snapchat. Thank you very much. A

:47:37. > :47:41.woman in Taiwan with terminal breast cancer has fulfilled one of her

:47:42. > :47:47.dreams by having a wedding photo shoot done, despite the fact she is

:47:48. > :47:49.single. She has posted it on social media and has had a huge response

:47:50. > :50:42.around the world. This is her story. She is 28 and she has terminal

:50:43. > :50:48.breast cancer. Let me read some comments from you about the leaked

:50:49. > :50:53.Labour manifesto. This is from John. I support many of the policies

:50:54. > :50:58.outlined in the manifesto, but I cannot see how they will be

:50:59. > :51:02.financed. By the way, some of the policies are nationalising the

:51:03. > :51:07.railways, parts of the energy sector, abolishing university

:51:08. > :51:11.tuition fees in England. 8 billion more for social care over the next

:51:12. > :51:16.Parliament. 100,000 new council homes will be built. Pat says, I

:51:17. > :51:23.think it was deliberately leaked to give Labour a head start. I am

:51:24. > :51:28.concerned the league is a pretence. Jamie, does nobody remember Labour

:51:29. > :51:32.implemented increased tuition fees in the 1980s? I campaign against

:51:33. > :51:41.student loans and fees introduced by the Conservatives. Mark says, I am a

:51:42. > :51:44.long-time Labour voter who switched to the SNP. If Labour had been

:51:45. > :51:52.proposing these policies years ago, I would never have left them for the

:51:53. > :51:57.SNP. I suspect many new SNP voters would say the same. Keep those

:51:58. > :52:04.coming in. We will talk more about the leaked manifesto after ten.

:52:05. > :52:06.From Snapchat to Instagram - let's have a quick word

:52:07. > :52:09.about the rapper Bow Wow who's been caught out making a bit

:52:10. > :52:11.of an embarrassing claim on social media.

:52:12. > :52:14.As a result, everyone else on social media was trying to outdo him

:52:15. > :52:17.Our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba is here.

:52:18. > :52:20.Rapper Bow Wow posted on Instagram, suggesting that he was flying

:52:21. > :52:35.It was exclusive. Look at it. I would be happy with one of the cars

:52:36. > :52:39.Unfortunately someone spotted how he appeared to be really travelling,

:52:40. > :52:42.and tweeted a photo of Bow Wow actually sitting in economy

:52:43. > :53:00.Twitter is never one to miss out on developing trend.

:53:01. > :53:05.That one with the pictures has been tweeted 20,000 times and liked

:53:06. > :53:09.40,000 times. People acted with lead to the gas. Tell us about the

:53:10. > :53:16.It triggered the hashtag #BowWowChallenge with people around

:53:17. > :53:17.the world posting messages in which they pretended

:53:18. > :53:37.Patrice Pannel tweeted how much she was enjoying her holiday

:53:38. > :53:58.The pictures on the left look very impressive, but on the right it puts

:53:59. > :54:03.it in slightly more interesting context.

:54:04. > :54:07.Bow Wow's social media mishap isn't the first time that celebrities

:54:08. > :54:14.When Charlie Sheen wanted to send popstar and fellow celeb

:54:15. > :54:18.Justin Bieber his phone number, he accidentally tweeted it

:54:19. > :54:26.publically - and ended up being inundated with calls and messages.

:54:27. > :54:31.None of them were from Justin Bieber unfortunately!

:54:32. > :54:34.Music star Rita Ora overestimated her fans' enthusiasm when she posted

:54:35. > :54:36.a tweet promising some new music if her message was

:54:37. > :54:45.When it only got a few thousand, she deleted her original message.

:54:46. > :54:49.And Manchester City premiership star Ilkay Gundogan posted

:54:50. > :54:51.a tweet referring to how he was with the Arsenal team

:54:52. > :55:00.And the photo was of Arsenal player Mesut Ozil, leading everyone

:55:01. > :55:03.to conclude that the same person looked after the social media

:55:04. > :55:06.for both players and had accidentally tweeted

:55:07. > :55:22.Again it was swiftly deleted a few minutes after everyone noticed this.

:55:23. > :55:25.The dangers mean than some celebrities have handed final

:55:26. > :55:27.control over their social media to their PR team or management

:55:28. > :55:30.including Adele who has around 28 million followers on Twitter

:55:31. > :55:40.I'm not a drinker any more, but when Twitter first came out,

:55:41. > :55:46.And like nearly put my foot in it quite a few times,

:55:47. > :55:49.so my management decided that you have to go through, like,

:55:50. > :55:52.two people and then it has to be signed off by someone.

:55:53. > :55:54.But they are all my tweets, no one writes my tweets.

:55:55. > :56:08.Let's talk to PR expert Mark Borkowski.

:56:09. > :56:21.You are on. I am too slow. What do you think about this embarrassing

:56:22. > :56:26.post? There are many embarrassing posts from celebrities because they

:56:27. > :56:38.do have teams that manage these huge crowds of people who follow them.

:56:39. > :56:44.Will Bow Bow have posted that himself or will it be a member of

:56:45. > :56:48.staff? Possibly. If you have millions of followers, you cannot do

:56:49. > :56:51.it all yourself. These are incredibly powerful channels. You do

:56:52. > :56:57.not have to go through another media to get your message across. Of

:56:58. > :57:03.course there are great deals to be done. You can be invited to a hotel

:57:04. > :57:08.or a restaurant and it is free and you are paid. Some people are

:57:09. > :57:13.getting ?14,000 for a tweet. It is the equivalent of trying to brand a

:57:14. > :57:21.raindrop in a thunderstorm. ?14,000 if you plug a hotel? If you have got

:57:22. > :57:25.a big enough following, yes. But why pretend or is it a mistake? I

:57:26. > :57:29.remember there was some nascent celebrity building their profile and

:57:30. > :57:37.deliberately made spelling errors because it generated conversation.

:57:38. > :57:41.Bow Bow is now being circulated around the social media space. Many

:57:42. > :57:45.people have not heard of him before and they now have. But if you are

:57:46. > :57:54.ridiculed on social media? Some people can take it. That is true.

:57:55. > :57:58.From a celebrity's point of view, do you advise your clients to do it

:57:59. > :58:03.themselves because it is direct contact with fans and you can tell

:58:04. > :58:08.if someone is authentic or not? Putting your mobile phone in the

:58:09. > :58:15.hands of somebody to do your own tweets can be a disaster. Some

:58:16. > :58:22.people are natural with it. Some people are not very good at doing it

:58:23. > :58:26.and get terrified. You do not tweet when you are drinking. As Adele

:58:27. > :58:32.said. There was that incredible picture of robbing thick which

:58:33. > :58:36.caused his marriage to fail because he was photographed with a starlet

:58:37. > :58:40.in a nightclub. Unfortunately behind in a mirror you could see him

:58:41. > :58:45.putting his hand on that person's rear quarters. There has to be a

:58:46. > :58:54.transparency because people buy into it. Obvious questions are asked like

:58:55. > :58:58.what is your birthday? Facts can be answered by a robot, but sometimes

:58:59. > :59:03.they can go wrong. People like to know they are connected with that

:59:04. > :59:11.celebrity. We have been obsessed with celebrities since the days of

:59:12. > :59:15.early celebrities. There was an insight into celebrities' lives and

:59:16. > :59:23.people bought into that. Fan clubs in the 60s you had to stick to the

:59:24. > :59:28.message. The long answer to your short question is you need people to

:59:29. > :59:31.help you because you can do this alone, particularly with a mass

:59:32. > :59:40.following of people going at you all the time.

:59:41. > :59:52.We have got some changes and most of us today it will be dry and fine,

:59:53. > :59:56.but more cloud is coming into southern parts of England and Wales.

:59:57. > :00:02.We could get some heavy and thundery showers developing later on in the

:00:03. > :00:08.afternoon. Increasingly humid air in the South East. As we run through

:00:09. > :00:13.this evening and overnight there will be more showers and heading

:00:14. > :00:17.further north into Wales and the Midlands and wetter weather arriving

:00:18. > :00:21.in Northern Ireland. A cooler night in the north of England, but it will

:00:22. > :00:28.be warmer than it has been for some time. More cloud on the way on

:00:29. > :00:32.Friday. Very few showers for Scotland and also across northern

:00:33. > :00:36.England. But the rest of England and Wales will see heavy showers,

:00:37. > :00:40.thunderstorms and torrential downpours again. There could be some

:00:41. > :00:47.localised flooding. Some much needed rain, but not quite everywhere.

:00:48. > :00:57.Good morning, welcome to the programme.

:00:58. > :00:59.Labour's leaked manifesto promises a include plans

:01:00. > :01:00.to nationalise the railways, abolish tuition fees

:01:05. > :01:06.Leaks happen, they always happen and they probably always will.

:01:07. > :01:09.But the point is there's an opportunity now, we're talking

:02:10. > :02:18.Labour's draft manifesto has been leaked to the press before its

:07:16. > :07:21.the world, sadly. But it doesn't matter, we can give strong messages,

:07:22. > :07:27.with an thanks to football. Arsenal fans have been on a bit of a

:07:28. > :07:30.roller-coaster. You may remember Arsenal went

:07:31. > :07:32.through a dreadful run of form It prompted protest

:07:33. > :07:45.marches before home games. There were planes flying over the

:07:46. > :07:46.stadium, targeted at Arsene Wenger. His future still hangs in the

:07:47. > :07:47.balance. But after reaching the FA Cup final

:07:48. > :07:50.the club are now three points away They beat Southampton 2-0 last night

:07:51. > :07:59.for a fourth win in their last six Premier League outings,

:08:00. > :08:12.thanks to second half goals from This is how the run-in to the end of

:08:13. > :08:15.the season looks. Liverpool have just two matches. You would expect

:08:16. > :08:19.them to get six points against West Ham or Middlesbrough, but they

:08:20. > :08:23.faulted in recent times. Manchester City are fourth. Arsenal will need

:08:24. > :08:27.one of those two to drop points, you would imagine. They would need three

:08:28. > :08:30.wins from their trip to stoke this weekend and home games with

:08:31. > :08:31.Sunderland and Everton next week. The home support at the Emirates

:08:32. > :08:37.could be crucial if they do make it. 48 of the world's top 50

:08:38. > :08:39.golfers tee off today in the Players Championship

:08:40. > :08:41.at Sawgrass with calls this week for the tournament to be elevated

:08:42. > :08:44.to the sport's fifth major Leading the field this

:08:45. > :08:48.week is the new Masters champion Sergio Garcia,

:08:49. > :08:50.winner of the Players in 2008 World number one Dustin Johnson

:08:51. > :08:54.is the favourite while number two Rory McIlroy leads a strong British

:08:55. > :08:56.challenge which also includes And just a reminder,

:08:57. > :09:13.a big Europa League semi-final clash Their match with Celta Vigo is live

:09:14. > :09:21.on Radio 5 Live from seven. Good morning, welcome to the

:09:22. > :09:26.programme. He was a 23-year-old IT graduate

:09:27. > :09:29.with no history of mental illness. In 2010 he went out with friends

:09:30. > :09:32.over the August bank holiday. He returned home saying

:09:33. > :09:35.he thought he'd been drugged. When his behaviour became erratic

:09:36. > :09:38.he voluntarily went to 18 hours later he collapsed

:09:39. > :09:47.and he never woke up. Yesterday, an inquest concluded

:09:48. > :09:50.excessive force was used by 11 police officers to restrain him

:09:51. > :09:55.and that contributed to his death. The jury said being restrained

:09:56. > :09:58.by officers for firstly ten minutes and then later 20 minutes,

:09:59. > :10:04.was unnecessary and unreasonable. The coroner ruled out

:10:05. > :10:10.unlawful killing. This, after two investigations

:10:11. > :10:12.by the police watchdog We can speak now to Aji

:10:13. > :10:18.and Conrad Lewis, Sheni's mum and dad, as well as Deborah Coles,

:10:19. > :10:33.director of the charity Inquest, Thank you very much for coming on

:10:34. > :10:37.the programme. Conrad, the jury said that the restraint used by those

:10:38. > :10:41.officers for the prolonged period of time, ten minutes and then 20

:10:42. > :10:48.minutes, was unnecessary and unreasonable. Excessive. What was it

:10:49. > :10:55.like to hear that, as evidence? Traumatic. Initially, we didn't

:10:56. > :11:04.really know what happened until the inquest, which was six and a half

:11:05. > :11:09.years later. Now to hear how it all unfolded, the lies that were being

:11:10. > :11:20.told by the police and the health staff, you know, we were just lost

:11:21. > :11:23.for words. Everybody in court gasped when they heard the treatment. I

:11:24. > :11:38.think the doctor said they were treating him like an animal. What

:11:39. > :11:41.was it like for you,Aji? He had so much promise, still a child, looking

:11:42. > :11:50.to the future. And his life was snubbed out. The whole family is

:11:51. > :11:53.traumatised. Life does not move as smoothly as you would like. It is

:11:54. > :11:58.really traumatic. It affects everybody. When you have a

:11:59. > :12:06.23-year-old son, you kind of think, we have done our job, now. We have

:12:07. > :12:11.done a good job? Yes. He enjoyed his studies, we never had to tell him to

:12:12. > :12:15.study hard and work hard. A young, black man, if you don't get a good

:12:16. > :12:27.job, where are you? But he was full of the joys of spring. It is just

:12:28. > :12:37.very sad. Sad. Do you have an answer yet as to why this happened? No. We

:12:38. > :12:45.are still waiting for answers. From the police, from the health

:12:46. > :12:51.authorities. After waiting seven years, I'm not quite sure any of

:12:52. > :12:57.them are going to give us the answer that we need to hear. But if they

:12:58. > :13:05.can get up and do what they are supposed to do, to stop other

:13:06. > :13:08.families feeling the way we do, this is for the rest of our lives now,

:13:09. > :13:18.but we don't want to see any other family in the same way we feel. It's

:13:19. > :13:24.crippling. I am going to bring in Deborah, from the charity Inquest.

:13:25. > :13:30.Explain to our audience what restraint was used on Seni for that

:13:31. > :13:37.second period and what happened to him after the officers left him? The

:13:38. > :13:41.jury were quite condemning in what happened, ultimately 11 officers

:13:42. > :13:47.were involved in holding Seni facedown, in a prone position. He

:13:48. > :13:52.also had mechanical restraints, two sets of handcuffs, leg and arm

:13:53. > :13:59.restraints as well, to the point of complete collapse. The jury's

:14:00. > :14:02.finding is unequivocal, that he was restrained to death. Even at the

:14:03. > :14:06.point of collapse, neither the police or the doctor present went to

:14:07. > :14:11.his aid, and evidence was given at the inquest that they thought he

:14:12. > :14:15.might have been faking it. Faking unconsciousness? So they left the

:14:16. > :14:20.room? I think what is so shocking about this case is the fact that

:14:21. > :14:24.this was an extremely vulnerable man who had gone to hospital because he

:14:25. > :14:30.needed help. He needed support, professional care. Someone in a

:14:31. > :14:34.mental health crisis, that they can die in this circumstance, raises

:14:35. > :14:39.questions about both the provision and quality of mental health

:14:40. > :14:47.services, but also of the treatment by the police.

:14:48. > :14:50.The Independent Police Complaints Commission review was completed a

:14:51. > :14:55.couple of years ago and they concluded that six officers had a

:14:56. > :15:00.case to answer for gross misconduct and they say now the inquest is over

:15:01. > :15:02.they will be working with the Metropolitan police to ensure

:15:03. > :15:08.disciplinary proceedings are held properly. We have a statement from

:15:09. > :15:15.the Met police: It has been my ongoing commitment to obtain answers

:15:16. > :15:18.for this family. The IPCC have been clearer about mistakes made in the

:15:19. > :15:22.past and I have apologised to the Lewis family in public and in

:15:23. > :15:26.private and the Met police have been directed to carry out disciplinary

:15:27. > :15:32.procedures which I hope will take place as soon as possible. I do not

:15:33. > :15:36.know if it is possible to explain the strain on you over the last

:15:37. > :15:45.seven years. You lose your son, there are two IPCC investigations

:15:46. > :15:49.then a judicial review and now a jury inquest. There was another

:15:50. > :15:56.inquiry by the Health and Safety Executive. There was another

:15:57. > :16:01.investigation. So, yes, each stage you feel thwarted, you have to keep

:16:02. > :16:09.fighting, it is a struggle. You keep going. You keep going? Yes. We have

:16:10. > :16:15.to. That is what we have been doing. What about the impact on your wider

:16:16. > :16:23.family? We have two other children and two grandchildren and we try our

:16:24. > :16:27.best as a family to keep ourselves going and motivate each other, be

:16:28. > :16:35.there for each other and encourage the grandchildren. It is hard some

:16:36. > :16:42.days. You know, each day can be different. You have given us a

:16:43. > :16:47.little bit of an insight into what your son was like, tell us what he

:16:48. > :16:56.was like. He was a young man, he liked his clothes, he had an eye for

:16:57. > :17:01.a pretty girl, you know. He was fun loving, he had loads of friends, he

:17:02. > :17:04.hated injustice and would stick up for anybody. He did not like

:17:05. > :17:11.bullies. It is interesting, isn't it? And nobody had to tell him to

:17:12. > :17:19.study. He knew he had to study and he would get on with it. He was just

:17:20. > :17:26.a normal, gentle soul. Deborah, would a white 23-year-old man had

:17:27. > :17:30.been treated like this? It is an interesting question. There is no

:17:31. > :17:36.doubt from the work we have done that black, particularly young,

:17:37. > :17:42.black men, particularly liked you to die from the use of force. But the

:17:43. > :17:45.other area with a disproportionality is the area where people have mental

:17:46. > :17:51.health problems. If you are a black man with mental health problems, it

:17:52. > :17:55.raises important questions about stereotyping and whether or not, be

:17:56. > :18:03.it fear or stigma, whether or not that informs treatment. I think what

:18:04. > :18:08.happened and a terrible evidence this inquest has heard, the people

:18:09. > :18:13.who should have been looking after him lost sight of him as a human

:18:14. > :18:19.being. I think there were very important questions about training

:18:20. > :18:23.in understanding racism and discrimination. But also one of the

:18:24. > :18:30.things that this family have spoken about so movingly is the impact of

:18:31. > :18:34.delay on their ability to grieve. I very much hope now they have got

:18:35. > :18:40.some answers that they can begin that process. But for this family

:18:41. > :18:45.and like families before and after, sadly these deaths are still

:18:46. > :18:48.happening. We have got to ensure that there is both the

:18:49. > :18:53.accountability of those responsible, but also learning. That is what this

:18:54. > :18:58.family, like other families, like Conrad said, they want is not to

:18:59. > :19:02.happen to someone else. We have got to demand of the Metropolitan police

:19:03. > :19:06.and the Department of Health that they act on the findings of this

:19:07. > :19:09.inquest. There is a review commissioned by the Prime Minister

:19:10. > :19:15.when she was sitting as Home Secretary in 2015 because she had

:19:16. > :19:20.met personally with the family and the family of another black man and

:19:21. > :19:22.she was concerned about the protracted nature of the

:19:23. > :19:30.investigations and the lack of justice that she commissioned a

:19:31. > :19:34.review. That review was given to the new Home Secretary in January and is

:19:35. > :19:38.still yet to be published. Of course that is an opportunity to try and

:19:39. > :19:44.ensure that we learn from these awful, preventable death. Thank you

:19:45. > :19:47.very much for talking to us. Thank you for coming on the programme. I

:19:48. > :19:52.have a message from somebody who was watching. My heart goes out to the

:19:53. > :20:00.family, totally shocking, shameful and devastating. Heartbreaking

:20:01. > :20:01.beyond words. You have spoken with great dignity this morning, thank

:20:02. > :20:06.you. Thank you very much indeed. Usually one of the most closely

:20:07. > :20:09.guarded documents in a the run up to an election building up to a set

:20:10. > :20:12.piece event where a party publishes its planned direction

:20:13. > :20:18.for the country, the manifesto. But it looks like we know exactly

:20:19. > :20:21.what will be in Labour's manifesto before we were supposed

:20:22. > :20:39.to because it was leaked last night. Norman, run through what is in the

:20:40. > :20:44.draft manifesto. This is a massive document with a huge number of

:20:45. > :20:48.pledges. I do not recall a manifesto with so many promises contained in

:20:49. > :20:54.it. It is like the Encyclopaedia Britannica of manifestos, everything

:20:55. > :21:00.from building 1 million more houses to more childcare, to a ban on

:21:01. > :21:05.fracking, down to small policies like ensuring that rail companies

:21:06. > :21:09.provide free Wi-Fi on trains. I got a train the other day and the Wi-Fi

:21:10. > :21:16.was lousy, so maybe it is not a bad idea. Let's meet at you through some

:21:17. > :21:23.of the big, benchmark policies. Top of the list is nationalising things

:21:24. > :21:27.like the railways, Royal Mail, bringing that back into public

:21:28. > :21:32.ownership, bits of the energy industry as well would be taken back

:21:33. > :21:37.into the public sector. There would be more regulation of bus services.

:21:38. > :21:42.The last time the Labour Party suggested that sort of public

:21:43. > :21:46.ownership and we would have to go back to 1983 and Michael Foot and

:21:47. > :21:51.his manifesto. He talked about taking back the shipyards and

:21:52. > :21:54.telecoms and so on. The other big eye-catching announcement is

:21:55. > :21:59.increasing income tax on the wealthy, those earning more than

:22:00. > :22:06.?80,000. Jeremy Corbyn's people say these are the top 5% in society. We

:22:07. > :22:10.are talking about the most wealthy. What the draft manifesto does not

:22:11. > :22:15.tell us is how they will be hit. Maybe through a wealth tax, maybe by

:22:16. > :22:22.increasing the number of people in the higher rate of tax, changing it

:22:23. > :22:28.and inheritance tax. But the rich will be hit. University tuition fees

:22:29. > :22:32.will be scrapped. That was a benchmark Jeremy Corbyn pledge when

:22:33. > :22:37.he stood for the leadership. It was one of the things that galvanised

:22:38. > :22:42.many of his young supporters. It became an iconic Jeremy Corbyn

:22:43. > :22:46.methods. In the manifesto they confirm tuition fees will be

:22:47. > :22:51.scrapped. That comes with a big price tag. It could cost around ?11

:22:52. > :22:59.billion. That is an awful lot of money and we do not have the details

:23:00. > :23:04.on how that will be paid for. Lastly, energy and rent price caps.

:23:05. > :23:10.The government under Jeremy Corbyn would intervene to cap the amount

:23:11. > :23:15.being paid for fuel bills at around ?1000. If you pay more, the Jeremy

:23:16. > :23:19.Corbyn government would bring it down. Similarly, if you are

:23:20. > :23:24.struggling to pay your rent in the private sector, a Jeremy Corbyn

:23:25. > :23:28.government will look at introducing rental caps to put a lid on the

:23:29. > :23:32.amount you have to pay to the landlord. There are a whole swathe

:23:33. > :23:39.of policies. But what that is not really is a breakdown of how this is

:23:40. > :23:44.all going to be paid for. There are a lot of big ticket items here. For

:23:45. > :23:49.example they will end the public sector pay cap. They will keep the

:23:50. > :23:53.triple lock on pensions. They will reverse most of the benefit changes

:23:54. > :23:59.and cuts introduced by the Conservatives. They will extend

:24:00. > :24:03.personal independence payments. Recently the Tories blocked that.

:24:04. > :24:08.That is estimated to cost ?4 billion. They have also suggested ?8

:24:09. > :24:12.billion for social care. At the moment we do not know where that

:24:13. > :24:15.money is coming from and that will be one of the big questions

:24:16. > :24:20.With me now is Emma Rees, she's from Momentum.

:24:21. > :24:23.And Stephen Bush from the Current Affairs and Political

:24:24. > :24:34.Hello to both of you. What do you think, Emma? I think the draft

:24:35. > :24:38.manifesto which was leaked last night set out a set of really bold

:24:39. > :24:45.policies which I think will be incredibly popular with the

:24:46. > :24:48.electorate and will tackle our rigged economy and our rigged system

:24:49. > :24:54.in the interests of the many and not the few. Just as Labour's slogan

:24:55. > :24:57.says, this draft manifesto puts flesh on the bones of that

:24:58. > :25:05.statement. It is definitely ambitious and radical. Will it

:25:06. > :25:14.appeared to conservative voters and Ukip photos? Will it appeal? We also

:25:15. > :25:21.know from elections past that people tend to assess the policies through

:25:22. > :25:34.the prism of the leader. We talk about Labour's 1983 manifesto being

:25:35. > :25:38.radical. At the time the leader was reassuring and people looked at him

:25:39. > :25:42.and said, you are all right. Theresa May looks like a safe pair of hands.

:25:43. > :25:49.The manifesto will not be Labour's problem in this election. It is the

:25:50. > :25:54.messenger? They have got to turn people round on Jeremy Corbyn they

:25:55. > :25:57.have got to get him doing classic events, Desert Island discs, where

:25:58. > :26:04.he comes across as a warm, normal person who people trust to take

:26:05. > :26:07.decisions. People need to know more about Jeremy Corbyn rather than what

:26:08. > :26:12.they see at the moment and the stereotype that he has been tooling

:26:13. > :26:18.around the country doing lots of campaign events. It is unlike

:26:19. > :26:24.Theresa May. He is speaking to people who already support him. That

:26:25. > :26:30.is not true. He has been doing many visits in Tory held seats. In seats

:26:31. > :26:34.where there has been an increase in Ukip support in the past. He is very

:26:35. > :26:42.much talking to people across the country. And despite that... The

:26:43. > :26:46.contrary to what I think you are about to say. He has had more

:26:47. > :26:52.visibility and he is getting more coverage in the press and he is

:26:53. > :26:56.doing many more visits and campaign events across the country. We have

:26:57. > :27:03.seen an increased dramatically in the popularity of the Labour Party.

:27:04. > :27:06.We are catching up in the polls. Not in the local elections which is the

:27:07. > :27:12.only poll we can trust at the moment. I think that is true. There

:27:13. > :27:19.has been a ten point increase that was reported last weekend. I think

:27:20. > :27:23.we have now got... The Tories gained over 500 councillors. That is a

:27:24. > :27:27.distorted view for a general election. I know you cannot

:27:28. > :27:31.extrapolate, but if we are looking at polls, let's look at the one

:27:32. > :27:37.where people voted and that is the most recent. These policies set out

:27:38. > :27:41.in the draft manifesto, and they have been announced over the

:27:42. > :27:47.previous few weeks, have wide public support. Things like the ?10 minimum

:27:48. > :27:51.wage, 77% of people support that policy and that will make a huge

:27:52. > :27:54.impact on the lives of ordinary people. Those are the policies

:27:55. > :28:00.people will vote for in this election. Over the next few weeks

:28:01. > :28:03.the Labour Party and all its half a million members will be out on the

:28:04. > :28:07.doorsteps and speaking to people up and down the country. People are

:28:08. > :28:13.saying there is a lot of expenditure, how will it be paid

:28:14. > :28:16.for? Do we have to wait for the manifesto to hear that? There will

:28:17. > :28:22.be some changes, but not many changes in the meeting today. I

:28:23. > :28:27.imagined the language around defence will be more robust and will be more

:28:28. > :28:32.pro-Britain's defence industry than in the draft. There will be some

:28:33. > :28:36.stuff on spending. They have a fiscal ruled that they can borrow to

:28:37. > :28:42.invest in infrastructure, but they have a tight limits on their

:28:43. > :28:45.day-to-day expenditure. Things like transport and school building are

:28:46. > :28:50.paid for by corporation tax rises and income tax rises, changes to

:28:51. > :28:53.national insurance and private schools and private health care.

:28:54. > :29:04.OK, every day until June 8th we'll be highlighting the best gaffe,

:29:05. > :29:06.or highly amusing moment from the election

:29:07. > :29:19.We need an election and we need one now. Do every city and every time.

:29:20. > :29:23.It is our clear intention. The big question is simply this. Our voters

:29:24. > :29:33.getting tired? Politicians... Let me finish. So, Norman, what have you

:29:34. > :29:48.got? Elections encourage political

:29:49. > :29:53.groupies, if you remember Milifandom, when he was mobbed

:29:54. > :30:00.getting off a campaign bus. Jeremy Corbyn seems to have his fans around

:30:01. > :30:04.him, on the campaign trail, offering him bananas and kissing him on the

:30:05. > :30:11.cheek. Now we have a new group that are dubbing themselves the

:30:12. > :30:16.Maylennials. These are people that love Theresa May. They have been

:30:17. > :30:22.sharing all sorts of pictures of the Prime Minister online. This is

:30:23. > :30:26.something that caught my eye. Yes. There is Theresa May with her

:30:27. > :30:38.strong, beautiful blonde hair. Not something I have cause to use.

:30:39. > :30:45.Another one, Matrix May, with dark sunglasses, may be going in to see

:30:46. > :30:55.Jean-Claude Juncker. Here, with a bunch of hoodlums, going into

:36:48. > :36:53.Somalia is a country in East Africa that's home to more than 11 million

:36:54. > :36:56.It was torn apart by a civil war that lasted for

:36:57. > :37:00.In 2012 a new government was installed but the country

:37:42. > :37:42.Theresa May made these opening remarks.

:37:43. > :37:45.These challenges that face Somalia affect us all.

:37:46. > :37:47.If Somalia is a foothold for terrorist groups

:37:48. > :37:50.like Al-Shabab and Daesh, if global trade is hijacked

:37:53. > :37:54.displaced in a desperate bid to escape poverty and drought,

:37:55. > :37:57.the impact of instability in Somalia is felt across the whole region

:37:58. > :38:09.But what we have seen over the last five years is that when we work

:38:10. > :38:14.together on these issues we can make progress.

:38:15. > :38:18.Let's talk now to Sagal Mohamed, who is an activist here in the UK -

:38:19. > :38:21.she'll be protesting outside the conference.

:38:22. > :38:24.Kevin Watkins, CEO of Save the Children joins us now

:38:25. > :38:26.after addressing the Somalia conference in Central London.

:38:27. > :38:29.Haleema Abdullahi has been raising funds for Somalia

:38:30. > :38:48.Welcome, all of you. Why are you protesting? Yes, there was a protest

:38:49. > :38:52.arranged today, around ten o'clock to one o'clock. The reason is, as

:38:53. > :38:58.you have mentioned, we have a security situation in Somalia,

:38:59. > :39:03.therefore we have people there to protect the Somali people and help

:39:04. > :39:07.the government to bring about peace in Somalia. However, saw the general

:39:08. > :39:12.public in Somalia feel there is a lack of accountability from the

:39:13. > :39:23.African union forces, in regards to rape cases, documented by the UN,

:39:24. > :39:28.where nobody has been taken to court, nobody has been prosecuted

:39:29. > :39:34.for that. Also, there is... But is this the right place to protest

:39:35. > :39:37.about that? I think it is because the support, the Somali people that

:39:38. > :39:41.live abroad, are very much passionate and engaged about what is

:39:42. > :39:45.happening in Somalia, both the positive and the negative. What do

:39:46. > :39:49.you think of this process? Is it the right place to be doing it all would

:39:50. > :39:55.you not want to comment on that? I think it is a really important

:39:56. > :39:58.point, there is terrible gender-based violence on the ground

:39:59. > :40:07.that we see on the ground. But we were -- must not lose sight of the

:40:08. > :40:13.fact that there are 1.5 million children malnourished in Somalia.

:40:14. > :40:15.250,000 of those children are on the brink of starvation. To give you a

:40:16. > :40:24.picture of what is behind the headline numbers, three weeks ago I

:40:25. > :40:27.met a two children. This was in the northern part of Somalia, visiting a

:40:28. > :40:34.health and nutrition clinic. One little boy was brought to the clinic

:40:35. > :40:37.by his mother, severely malnourished, pneumonia and

:40:38. > :40:42.diarrhoea. Doctors said they thought he had no chance of surviving, but

:40:43. > :40:48.he pulled through. We had a well-stocked clinic, all of the

:40:49. > :40:52.medicine was there, he lived. Another girl was brought to the

:40:53. > :40:58.clinic in a coma. Staff could not rehydrate her. They could not find

:40:59. > :41:00.the vein to put the drip into, she died. What this conference is

:41:01. > :41:04.dealing with them trying to address is how we create a situation in

:41:05. > :41:13.which there are fewer tragic endings, like this little girl who

:41:14. > :41:19.died, and more endings like what happened with Abdul. We have huge

:41:20. > :41:23.funding gaps, but we also have huge opportunities to deliver on the

:41:24. > :41:28.ground and make a difference. You are trying to raise money for

:41:29. > :41:31.Somalia, for what? And why does Somalia need money from the rest of

:41:32. > :41:36.the world? Rig we are raising money and items. I run a project and we

:41:37. > :41:43.are going to be raising certain items like the hydration packs for

:41:44. > :41:49.cholera, sanitary pads, cooking utensils. The priority of most NGOs

:41:50. > :41:52.as food and water, which is fine, but these people need other

:41:53. > :41:59.essential items. We have collaborated with DHL, we will send

:42:00. > :42:02.them direct. Even though these organisations do an amazing job,

:42:03. > :42:06.this is not enough, the international community need to come

:42:07. > :42:10.together, more needs to be done. There is definitely a shift towards

:42:11. > :42:14.self-reliance. We also need to take action. A lot of the promises made

:42:15. > :42:19.by the international community at the Somali conference in 2012 were

:42:20. > :42:22.not honoured. There was a lot of hope people have hope for this

:42:23. > :42:26.conference as well. There is definitely a shift in mentality. We

:42:27. > :42:33.need to do it ourselves. What will be different, when promises are made

:42:34. > :42:37.in this conference? I think what you're describing is what is

:42:38. > :42:41.possible. The Somali community is making a huge difference on the

:42:42. > :42:48.ground. I was making up a point about about commerce is? A broken

:42:49. > :42:52.promise will translate into more people losing their lives. And that

:42:53. > :42:56.happened in 2012? It has happened since the start of this crisis. One

:42:57. > :43:02.of the things we have been calling for, a $200 million funding gap is

:43:03. > :43:06.there until the end of June, we are calling for that to be delivered. At

:43:07. > :43:10.the same time, the UN has presented an expanded plan for the rest of the

:43:11. > :43:14.year. Governments have to be held to account here. This is an avoidable

:43:15. > :43:18.tragedy that we have unfolding before our eyes. The UK has stepped

:43:19. > :43:23.up to the plate. Some other donors have stepped up. There are far too

:43:24. > :43:28.many that are missing in action. How do you hold the Somali government to

:43:29. > :43:32.account? It is a very difficult job. From my experience, one of the

:43:33. > :43:38.things that really works is public engagement and campaigning. The

:43:39. > :43:50.Somali government do tend to pay attention to the general Somali

:43:51. > :43:56.public, where their political and social ideas live. We recently had

:43:57. > :44:01.an election and had a very populist person, a person that the majority

:44:02. > :44:06.of people wanted elected, although we did not have a fully democratic

:44:07. > :44:10.election. We managed to, by public campaigning, getting the word out,

:44:11. > :44:14.influence decision-making in Somalia so that we elected a President that

:44:15. > :44:19.the people wanted. Let me ask you, both of you, if I may, some people

:44:20. > :44:25.in this country say, why is it our responsibility? They don't agree

:44:26. > :44:38.with the fact that 0.7% of our GDP is given in aid, partly to Somalia?

:44:39. > :44:44.This is the humanitarian issue. You cannot prevent a drought, but having

:44:45. > :44:48.it turn into a humanitarian issue, that is something we can prevent.

:44:49. > :44:52.These are human beings, starving and dying, fleeing small towns in search

:44:53. > :44:56.of food and, along the way, they are dying. I think it is their

:44:57. > :44:59.collective response ability of the world, including the Somali

:45:00. > :45:07.government. There is a definite push towards self-reliance will --

:45:08. > :45:10.towards self-reliance. I have spoken to Paris that have lost children in

:45:11. > :45:12.Somalia. I think every parent watching this programme will

:45:13. > :45:18.understand the case for delivering aid. This commitment is about

:45:19. > :45:22.something very fundamental in our DNA, about compassion, empathy and

:45:23. > :45:26.caring about people in other places that are at the sharp end. We can't

:45:27. > :45:28.let children suffer because of a very ideological debate on the part

:45:29. > :45:40.of some people against aid. It is not ideological. People say we

:45:41. > :45:42.need to sort out our own children first. We will leave it there.

:45:43. > :45:46.This programme has learned that men who have been left unable to have

:45:47. > :45:48.sex following treatment for prostate cancer cannot get the corrective

:45:49. > :45:53.Erectile dysfunction is a potentially devastating

:45:54. > :45:56.complication which can occur following the removal of all or part

:45:57. > :45:59.Until recently, surgery to correct the problem was widely

:46:00. > :46:03.However, we have found that more and more patients are being refused

:46:04. > :46:06.local funding for the procedure, leading to a postcode lottery

:46:07. > :46:08.for those awaiting treatment, as Matthew Hill reports.

:46:09. > :46:15.I didn't go into any conversation that might lead down to any form

:46:16. > :46:18.of relationship or anything, just in case we got to the stage

:46:19. > :46:21.where she would realise that I didn't have any use

:46:22. > :46:27.Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK,

:46:28. > :46:30.with over 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year.

:46:31. > :46:34.When he was in his 40s, this man, who we are calling Richard

:46:35. > :46:38.to protect his privacy, was diagnosed with the disease.

:46:39. > :46:42.The operation to remove his prostate gland cured him of the cancer,

:46:43. > :46:45.but it left him with a legacy of problems, including

:46:46. > :46:50.an inability to get an erection, or to control when he would urinate.

:46:51. > :46:59.For about eight months after the operation...

:47:00. > :47:05.I couldn't laugh, because I was frightened that

:47:06. > :47:12.Even at work, I had to wear dark trousers

:47:13. > :47:17.All my symptoms that I had after the operation

:47:18. > :47:20.was actually just came out, so that was the incontinence,

:47:21. > :47:23.the erectile dysfunction, so those were just standard,

:47:24. > :47:29.I wasn't able to use the pump until a few...

:47:30. > :47:39.They give you a pump because they say that you've got

:47:40. > :47:43.to start using it in order to keep the blood flow into the penis.

:47:44. > :47:47.So I used the pump almost as soon as I possibly could.

:47:48. > :47:49.How devastating was that on your life?

:47:50. > :47:52.So devastating that, before the operation,

:47:53. > :48:02.I was prepared to die than to not have any function of my prostate.

:48:03. > :48:07.Because I couldn't imagine walking around wearing an incontinent pad,

:48:08. > :48:11.not getting erections, not getting any sensation.

:48:12. > :48:17.I wasn't sure what it was going to be like when you pass a woman,

:48:18. > :48:21.I wasn't sure what was going to happen.

:48:22. > :48:23.So for me, I didn't want the operation.

:48:24. > :48:25.But if the pump and medication fail, there is a remedy.

:48:26. > :48:30.It involves major surgery to insert an inflatable penile implant.

:48:31. > :48:33.This is a serious operation, but it is for people

:48:34. > :48:38.suffering serious problems, and is used as a last resort.

:48:39. > :48:42.These are the cylinders that are placed in the patient.

:48:43. > :48:46.This is the pump, which is carefully tucked away

:48:47. > :48:53.And this is a reservoir of fluid that is put out of harm's way

:48:54. > :49:00.When I press the pump, you can see the cylinders

:49:01. > :49:03.get filled with fluid, so after just a few pumps, you will

:49:04. > :49:14.Now, the excellent bioengineering means that by pressing the valve

:49:15. > :49:20.at the top of the pump here, holding it down, we then can squeeze

:49:21. > :49:25.the fluid back from these cylinders into the reservoir.

:49:26. > :49:34.The operation costs between ?9,000-10,000.

:49:35. > :49:36.But it can transform patients' lives.

:49:37. > :49:46.The confidence that I've got in talking to women and stuff...

:49:47. > :49:58.I've also found, I'm not sure if this is supposed

:49:59. > :50:03.I have less incontinence, so I can laugh more and do sit ups

:50:04. > :50:10.A few years ago, this operation was available

:50:11. > :50:15.Centres like Southmead in Bristol ten years ago were carrying out

:50:16. > :50:20.But recently, less than five operations have been carried out,

:50:21. > :50:25.because the local NHS is turning down applications for funding.

:50:26. > :50:28.It means patients are facing long delays in getting treatment.

:50:29. > :50:31.Keith, whose name and identity we've changed, says the waiting

:50:32. > :50:38.Obviously there's no sex involved in the marriage.

:50:39. > :50:40.But apart from that, I tend to be thinking

:50:41. > :50:47.It's very difficult to talk about, even as a married couple.

:50:48. > :50:52.There's this contact that you have which constantly reminds you of it,

:50:53. > :50:57.Shunned away, if you like, purely to do that.

:50:58. > :51:00.And of course there's the thing that when I talk about it,

:51:01. > :51:07.Consequently she tends to sort of, oh no, here he goes again.

:51:08. > :51:10.When in actual fact, you know, I then start thinking,

:51:11. > :51:12.you're not listening, you're not interested,

:51:13. > :51:24.It's not something that once a month or once a year,

:51:25. > :51:29.And we've learned that where you live has a big

:51:30. > :51:31.impact on your chances of getting the operation.

:51:32. > :51:33.It's a postcode lottery, but one of the worst performing

:51:34. > :51:36.regions in the country is the South West.

:51:37. > :51:39.In 2015/16, hospitals there performed just six operations.

:51:40. > :51:42.In the North East, they are doing much better.

:51:43. > :51:45.Hospitals there carried out 53 operations over

:51:46. > :51:51.And that's with one of the lowest populations of men aged over 40.

:51:52. > :51:54.Whereas in the South West, they have a fairly average

:51:55. > :52:03.So you are 19 times more likely to receive the operation if you live

:52:04. > :52:06.in the North East than if you live in the South West.

:52:07. > :52:10.A leading surgeon has seen the devastating effect erectile

:52:11. > :52:15.He says men are being unfairly short-changed.

:52:16. > :52:18.What it means for men is that there is nowhere to go.

:52:19. > :52:21.These are by definition men who have reached the end of the line

:52:22. > :52:27.They only qualify for this treatment if everything else has failed.

:52:28. > :52:32.So essentially they sit in limbo, and have been, some of them,

:52:42. > :52:46.effects, effect on relationships, relationship breakdowns, depression,

:52:47. > :52:50.there is also quite serious but not so well recognised effects.

:52:51. > :52:53.If you had breast cancer surgery, then the NHS on the whole

:52:54. > :53:05.But this is not true for men who have undergone cancer surgery.

:53:06. > :53:08.Keith has been told he can have the operation, but not locally.

:53:09. > :53:11.He must travel to London, well over 100 miles away.

:53:12. > :53:13.That's a thought that Richard finds shocking,

:53:14. > :53:17.given his own experience of having the operation.

:53:18. > :53:24.My concern would be, how would somebody from Cornwall go

:53:25. > :53:30.all the way to London, because it's a five-hour drive?

:53:31. > :53:32.After I had the operation, my brother came to pick me

:53:33. > :53:35.up from the hospital, and I went to sit down,

:53:36. > :53:39.I then shoved, and put my bum, and because you've got

:53:40. > :53:42.to wear a seat belt, I then had to go into

:53:43. > :53:49.And even with every bump he went over, I could feel it.

:53:50. > :53:55.So if I then had to go to London and travel in the back of the car

:53:56. > :53:59.on all fours for an hour and a half, it would be very traumatic

:54:00. > :54:06.NHS England want to put an end to this lottery by setting up

:54:07. > :54:09.a designated centre somewhere in the South.

:54:10. > :54:12.It could be here at Southmead or in Southampton, for instance.

:54:13. > :54:18.Until then, it says patients will continue to be seen locally.

:54:19. > :54:21.But the surgeons I've spoken to say in reality there simply isn't

:54:22. > :54:24.the funding for local operations, so it seems men will continue

:54:25. > :54:31.I've heard of people my age going along to the GP saying

:54:32. > :54:33.I'm having problems, and the doctor turns round and says,

:54:34. > :54:43.You are young, you should be out there, you should be

:54:44. > :54:55.And this affects your quality of life.

:54:56. > :55:05.Matthew Hill reporting. These figures are to do with waiting times

:55:06. > :55:09.for NHS England. These are the last figures we will get before the

:55:10. > :55:15.general election. They said waiting times were the worst for four years.

:55:16. > :55:22.The health foundation think tank says 2 million people had to wait

:55:23. > :55:30.more than four hours to get seen in the year 2016-2017. That is up from

:55:31. > :55:35.just 900,000. Waiting times targets missed again and these are the worst

:55:36. > :55:40.figures in at least four years. 2.5 million people waiting longer than

:55:41. > :55:42.four hours to be seen in A The health foundation says the NHS is

:55:43. > :55:48.treating more patients than ever before. Back to Labour's leaked

:55:49. > :55:53.general election manifesto, that is all the promises it will deliver if

:55:54. > :55:58.it wins the general election. This is what John McDonnell has had to

:55:59. > :56:02.say this morning. Do you know who leaked your manifesto? No, I do not.

:56:03. > :56:07.It is disappointing. We have the clause five meeting and that will

:56:08. > :56:10.decide the final manifesto. Do you recognise these policies? Do you

:56:11. > :56:15.want to nationalise the railways and the energy companies? We will see

:56:16. > :56:19.what comes out, we have a democratic process to decided and then we will

:56:20. > :56:26.launch it on Tuesday. I have got to catch my bus. Do you think it is a

:56:27. > :56:32.social manifesto? How will you pay for this? It means tens of billions

:56:33. > :56:36.of pounds. Let's walk along, do not fall over. The clause five meeting

:56:37. > :56:42.will happen today and that will decide the final draft and we will

:56:43. > :56:44.publish at the launch the cost of version and every policy will have a

:56:45. > :56:51.costing and a funding source identified. John McDonnell. Will

:56:52. > :56:56.says, I think this manifesto has been leaked on purpose to give

:56:57. > :57:01.Labour a head start. Or I can say at my age is I have heard it all before

:57:02. > :57:04.which promises everything and will deliver very little. It is like

:57:05. > :57:09.going into a sweet shop and being told I can have all the sweet I want

:57:10. > :57:15.and someone else will pay for them. It is bigger blue. It says, the leak

:57:16. > :57:20.manifesto is good news for the country. I am not saying every

:57:21. > :57:23.advertiser she needs to be reversed, but these core backbones of our

:57:24. > :57:25.economy should never have been privatised in the first place.

:57:26. > :57:37.Do you want to come to Dunstable in Luton on bank holiday Monday at the

:57:38. > :57:41.end of May. We are having a live audience debate just ahead of the

:57:42. > :57:44.election and we would like an audience to be there. Get in touch

:57:45. > :57:50.to talk about whatever you want to talk about on that date. E-mail us

:57:51. > :57:55.if you would like to take part. We have no idea who the politicians

:57:56. > :57:58.will be. There is a long way to go before now and made the 29th, but if

:57:59. > :58:07.you would like to take part, e-mail us. We are looking for about 150

:58:08. > :58:12.voters to take part, and nonvoters as well. You are just as pertinent

:58:13. > :58:32.in this election. We are back tomorrow at nine. Have a good day.

:58:33. > :58:36.Hello. Come and meet the doctor! Hello.

:58:37. > :58:40...if they lived with you 24 hours a day?
