Hello, it's Thursday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

Labour's leaked manifesto promises a radical agenda including plans

to nationalise the railways, abolish tuition fees

The party's campaign co-ordinator says the leak isn't a sign

He says he is relaxed about the leak.

Leaks happen, they always happen and they probably always will.

But the point is there's an opportunity now, we're talking

about Labour's policies a week in advance of

We'll be live in Westminster with all the details.

Also on on the programme today - Olaseni Lewis died after police used

multiple force to restrain him in a mental health hospital.

His parents tell us about their long fight for justice.

And are we heading for a stroke epidemic? We will hear from one

young woman in her 20s who says her symptoms were dismissed as a

migraine. Welcome to the programme,

we're live until 11 this morning. Let us know what you think of the

plans in Labour's leaked manifesto. We really interested to hear your

views. We're talking about social media

that he was flying to New York People are now posting their own

and if you text, you will be charged the BBC has obtained a leaked draft

of Labour's manifesto, which promises to nationalise

the railways as franchises expire and to abolish

tuition fees in England. The document, seen by several

newspapers, also pledges to return Royal Mail to public ownership

and bring in an energy price cap. Norman Smith is at a labour campaign

event in Central London. Well, there is a lot in here, that a

lot will say is transformative, radical, how much will be in the

actual manifesto next week? Well, Labour folk are not denying the

authenticity of the leaked document. But some are incredulous that it has

been leaked, because it does seem to be a deliberate attempt to

destabilise and damage Jeremy Corbyn, although his people are

saying there is not going to be any witchhunt or recriminations, we are

relaxed about it, it gives us a chance to talk about policies. He

was meant to be here at the poster launch, he has not turned up so he

can concentrate on the meeting later today to finalise the details of the

manifesto. What did we learn from the draft? We learned that Jeremy

Corbyn is going into the election with a vast number of pledges,

everything from headline pledges about scrapping tuition fees,

building 1 million homes, nationalising the railways, bringing

parts of the energy industry back into public ownership. And really

small things, like ensuring there is free Wi-Fi on trains, or trying to

ensure certain pesticides are not used close to bees. The second thing

we learned is that this is a Jeremy Corbyn manifesto, permeated with his

views and values. There is to be a more generous benefit system, or

employment rights, a bigger role for the state to intervene to cap energy

prices, cap rental prices. There are about to be big questions about the

costs, how it is an advocate for. This morning, their campaign

coordinator was trying to put the best gloss on the leak. There are

some really good ideas in this document. This document is not the

Labour manifesto, because we have got a small matter of a Klaus 5

meeting. The Labour Party as a Democratic party, so the reason why

I am not in Greater Manchester with you, but down in London, it is

because the Shadow Cabinet meeting with the national executive

committee, the Parliamentary Committee of backbench MPs and the

trade unions, to go through the draft manifesto and decide what we

want as our programme for government. After today's meeting,

we will have a clearer picture of what is actually the manifesto. But

there are some great ideas in there. Some people are comparing this draft

manifesto to Michael Foot's very controversial 1983 manifesto. I

think a lot of the focus is going to be on the money question. Can they

fund some of the very big spending commitments that they made, such as

continuing with the triple lock for pensions, ?8 billion for social

care, reversing most of the Tories benefit cuts, including extending

personal independence payments, which the Government says will cost

about ?4 billion, and that big ticket item, abolishing tuition

fees, estimated to cost ?11 billion. There will be a huge focus on how

Labour pays for all of this. How will it go down with Labour

supporters, but also those that support the Conservatives and Ukip,

who Labour have two win over if they have any chance of forming a

majority? Actually, the draft manifesto is on the thin side, an

immigration, there is no indication that they want to reduce it, no

mention of freedom of movement. On Brexit, the manifesto restates that

the party accepts the outcome of the referendum. But it says it would not

accept no deal. Theresa May has said you have to be able to threaten the

rest of the EU that we could walk away if we don't get a good deal,

Labour says it is an unacceptable situation. It is not clear that it

is the sort of manifesto that will peel back those that deserted the

Labour Party over Brexit. I think it might hear generational thing. Maybe

people who are older will remember Michael Foot's manifesto of 1983,

but some of them might be more interesting to people, bringing the

railways back into public ownership. The real criticism will be how do

you pay for this? It might be over where you are? Yes, a fairly

desolate scene. We seem to be standing on a patch of wasteland. I

don't know if you can see the back of Waterloo Bridge, it is not

exactly glamour Central. But there you go.

Let us know what you think about the Wallace is in the Labour manifesto,

abolishing tuition fees, no immigration target, 100,000 new

council homes built each year. All of the caveats, it is just the

draft. We will see what makes it into the final document. Carolyn

says it looks really good, especially tuition fees, starting to

warm to Jeremy Corbyn. Stewart says he sees a series of excellent

proposals that would be popular with many voters. One who did not leave

their name, leaked deliberately, if you ask me. Assess the fallout and

then say it is just a draft. Another says that it is incredibly

far-fetched, Labour have become a joke among working-class people.

Your views are really welcome and we will feed them into the conversation

with our guests. Let's get some sport now with Hugh,

and news this morning that the FA have entered the debate

about the huge fees earned There has always been a view that

agents were the negative side of the game, always looking to make

as much money as possible without having a player's

best interests at heart. However, there are many players

who'd say agents play an invaluable role in representing them,

especially in things Whichever way you look at it,

it can be a lucrative business. The FA Chairman Greg Clarke has this

morning dismissed suggestions there is a moral issue in the game

into the transfer of Paul Pogba Mino Raiola is Pogba's agent

and he is reported to have earned a rather incredible ?41 million

for brokering a world record transfer for Pogba

from Juventus last summer. Claims suggest United may have paid

Raiola ?22 million directly, Here's Clarke's view

on the situation. If Manchester United want to pay an

agent that much money, and I do not know, I have not looked into each

individual transfer, that is what they are going to pay. They are

accountable to their owners and their fans. How much should we pay

for players and how much should go to agents as a commercial

transaction? If football wants to change that and limit the amount of

money agents get, we have to sit down as a game, led by the FA and

But Murdoch dismissed any concerns about the culture at Fox News.

It comes at a delicate time for Mr Murdoch.

21st Century Fox is trying to buy the remaining 61%

The media regulator Ofcom is currently deciding

whether the takeover should go ahead or not.

Earlier this week Joanna spoke to Wendy Walsh,

regulator in this country on Monday to explain to them why she thought

they shouldn't allow Ofcom to allow Fox to buy the rest of Sky News.

She was an unpaid guest on Bill O'Reilly's show

and claims he sexually harassed her after a work dinner.

I turned left to go to the bar, thinking we were going to continue

I said yes to dinner and I thought I would keep its business and it was

an opportunity to be a paid contributor. He told me the chairman

was his good friend and they were going to offer me a position as the

He turned toward the right, toward the hotel rooms.

When I said, "Oh, I think the bar's this way," he said, "No,

I said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

And I said, you know, "We're both parents,

we're raising girls, we have teenage daughters.

Maybe we should model some good choices."

And we got to the bar and his demeanour changed

from charming to hostile, and he said the words,

"You can forget about all the career advice I gave you.

of sexual harassment, we women think, I can fix this.

I'll send him lots of cringeworthy suck-up-to-the boss e-mails,

and in fact they tried to defame me by leaking some of these e-mails,

but eventually he had an executive producer get rid of me.

Did you raise it at the channel? No, because of two reasons. Women of my

generation are so accustomed to navigating around these landmines

that we have almost normalised sexual harassment. I thought,

Let's talk to Douglas Wigdor - who represents more than 20 current

and former Fox News employees - he's here now.

You are in this country because you are giving evidence to the British

media regulator this afternoon, representing 21 alleged victims. If

our audience a sense of the allegations they are making. I

represent over 20 dedicated men and women who worked or currently who

work at Fox News. I refer to 21st century Fox as 18th century Fox

because of the systemic, widescale discrimination based on race and

gender going on there. I represent a woman who went for an interview with

Roger Ailes and at the interview she was asked to turn around to see her

appearance and he said he liked what he saw and he called her

ex-boyfriend and asked about their sex life. I represent the only black

male anchor who try to do positive stories on black America and he was

met with resistance by Bill O'Reilly and by other people who were working

for Fox News. It is reminiscent with what is going on with the Sun

newspaper. I read about this so-called journalist McKenzie, I

believe his name is, who referred to a footballer as a gorilla. That

happened at the New York Post and another New York robber murder

entity. It happened with a former client, who was the made in the in

another rape case. This is a statement from a few weeks ago.

After a thorough and careful review of the alligators, the company and

Bill O'Reilly have agreed he will not be returning to the Fox News

Channel. They have got rid of Bill O'Reilly and Rupert Murdoch says

nothing is happening at Fox News, ratings are going up and it is

sorted. That is why they have an 18th century mentality because the

fans are that Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes left with over $60

million. How is that relevant? He denied the allegations. He says, it

is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely

unfounded claims. That is the unfortunate reality many of us in

the public eye have to live with today. I would ask them to waive the

confidentiality clauses that they have entered into with all the

victims so the public can see what these people went through. What they

allege, which Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ayles denied. That is why Fox

News have tried to pay these people off and bind them through

confidentiality. You do not know that. They have admitted to the

public in terms of race cases and they have said that the head

controllers' behaviour was abhorrent. They said the allegations

raised were legitimate and abhorrent. What happened is the head

lawyer or Fox News knew about these allegations as far back as 2008 and

waited many years before they could do anything about it. Bill

O'Reilly's lawyer said he had been subjected to a brutal campaign of

character assassination being orchestrated by far left

organisations bent on destroying O'Reilly for political and financial

reasons. Are you part of a left-wing organisation? If I am, someone needs

to tell me about it because I am a lifelong Republican because I have

been on record during the presidential campaign supporting

Donald Trump. I would be quite pressed to be characterised as part

of a left-wing conspiracy. What about other left-wing organisations?

Do you buy this attack from Bill O'Reilly's attorney? I do not. What

people want is equality in the workplace and you have systemic,

widespread, industrial scale discrimination based on race, based

on gender at the very top levels. When you have a lawyer, who is still

there by the way, who has presided over all of these cases, I alone

represent over 20 people, I have it all lying and fabricating things?

Obviously not. You cannot say obviously not. You need to test it

in a court of law. What will you be saying to Ofcom today? Why are you

saying 21st-century Fox should not be allowed to buy the rest of Sky

TV? I look forward to testing this in a court of law. Have your clients

have been to the police? Fox News wants to get these cases into

arbitration. They do not want to go into court. They do not want to go

into a chamber where nobody can watch the proceedings. I am all

about a public airing of these issues. I have never lost a trial.

This will not be the first one. You represent 21 of the alleged victims.

Have any of them been to the police? These are not criminal acts, they

are civil acts in America. The answer is no, these are all things

that you can get in the civil system, so they have not gone to the

police. I am going to Ofcom this afternoon and the reason is to talk

to them about each of these cases. I cannot go into all the detail here,

but I will with them and I will let them assess those facts and decide

what they want to do with those, but it paints a very bleak picture. When

you have Rupert Murdoch saying there is nothing wrong with Fox News

because the ratings are good, he has his head in the sand. I agree we

have not proven the allegations yet, but with the admissions by Fox, and

the court proceedings will continue in court, and the public ear and in

America will get to see the legitimacy of these claims. Thank

you very much. Representing 21 alleged victims of sexual and racial

harassment, who will be talking to Ofcom this afternoon.

from stroke could rise dramatically According to the Stroke Association

it's mainly because of But it's a mistake to think stroke

only affects older people and the charity says everyone should

know what the signs are. Let's talk to Cindy-Janine

Sousa-Goncalves, who had two major strokes when she was 26,

and Alexis Wieroniey, the Deputy Director of Policy,

Stroke Association. These are projected figures. They

sound incredibly alarming, set to almost double in the next 20 years.

How do you get those projections? The study looked at the global

burden of disease index, which is a global index which looks at making

predictions, what is happening right now, in strokes and diseases across

the world. They took data on the incidents now, population now, and

combine that with projections. The projection is what will happen with

our population if we do exactly what we are doing now. That means that we

need to take more action to prevent strokes now to prevent this from

happening. If these figures are borne out, what are the implications

for us as a population and for the NHS? We already know that the NHS is

struggling under the pressure of the ageing population and we know that

social care is also under pressure. We know that pressures will only

increase. Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability, it is

about two thirds of stroke survivors that leave hospital with a

disability. It also has a bigger range of disabilities than any other

condition. It is not just physical impairments. We know of one man

whose wife woke up in hospital with no physical impairments, but could

not remember who she was. It is physical and hidden effects that

people are living with as a long-term condition. It is great

more people are surviving a stroke because of advances in treatment,

but we have a real problem of people living at a stroke with little or no

support. Cindy, tell us what happened with your two strokes? I

was in an internet cafe on a Friday with my friend, doing some work.

Suddenly, my vision completely went. Everything was distorted and I lost

my balance. I couldn't really figure out where I was. I ended up going to

the hospital. They sent me home, saying I had a migraine. Over the

next four days, I kept going back to the hospital, because my vision

would not come back. They kept sending me home. When I had another

stroke on Monday, I could not control my body, I was spinning in

circles and could not stop. My body was just doing what it wanted. My

coordination, my vision was not there. Again, I went to hospital and

it took another four days to get a CT scan, because they would not give

it to me. Then they told me I had multiple strokes will stop How did

you react to that? I was gobsmacked, completely gobsmacked. Because my

mother had had four strokes before, I kind of guessed that I have had a

stroke, especially after the second one. Then took a long time for me to

be able to walk again, to write again, do everything again. How old

are you now? 27. Not that long ago, then? Tell me about the impact on

your life now. I have a lot of problems with my vision, my visual

field, it is very distorted. With lighting, I can't see things, I see

things in fours and fives. I have Parkinson's in my right side, and

weakness in that side. I get very tired, extreme fatigue, I can't be

awake for very long. It has left me with a lot of problems. I have got a

young child as well. She is three? Yes. There is stuff you cannot do

with her that you normally would be doing as a 27-year-old mum? I used

to be out and about with her all the time and I can't do that any more.

Do you know why you have the strokes? Not yet. I do have some

problems with my heart and they are still investigating, but they can't

tell me definitely why. Alexis, 1.2 million people like Cindy currently

live with the effects of a stroke. What can we do to prevent ourselves

having a stroke? The good news is that 80% of strokes are preventable,

that is why it is a travesty that we see so many still happening across

the UK and the world today. It is generally healthy living advice, you

should be eating healthily, do not eat too much salt, smoking doubles

the risk, if you are smoking you should definitely stop. Two of the

most important things are that half of our strokes are caused by high

blood pressure, and another 20% or 30% are caused by a condition which

is an irregular heartbeat, that increases the risk. Is that what you

had? Yes. If people take time to check blood pressure regularly...

How do you do that? It is simple, you can go to your GP, some of them

have machines in the waiting room, most pharmacies checked for free.

You can go to one of The Stroke Association Events. Smoking, eating

too much salt, poor diet, being too sedentary, and some people have high

blood pressure from other causes. It is important to check it once a

year. It takes less than five minutes. If you are found to have

high blood pressure, lifestyle changes can address that, or tablets

can drastically reduce the risk. We know that there are seven million

people living with high blood pressure. Why do we know so much

about cancer and the symptoms, and we really do not when it comes to

having a stroke, which, according to these figures, almost half of us are

going to experience in the next 20 years if we don't do anything? It is

a huge problem, we know that awareness is relatively high because

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

and we don't know why. You associated with older people. Yes,

and a quarter of strokes happen to people aged under 65. There are too

many people living with strokes that could have been prevented, that

aren't getting the support they need. Thank you very much. Thank you

for talking to us. It is excellent that you are raising awareness in

the way that you are. Let me read you more comments from

people that are reacting to the leaked draft of the general

manifesto from the Labour Party. Gareth, the manifesto, as reported,

is truly inspirational in these troubled times. Why on earth would

they be worried it has been leaked? It is clear Jeremy Corbyn's Labour

stands for the many, not the few. The rail network is a shambles and

needs an overhaul. The NHS is struggling and everybody wants to

see a government back doctors, nurses and support staff. I work in

mental health and can tell you that austerity is causing stress, anxiety

and depression. We need to invest in people, not steal from them to give

the richest 5% even more than they already have. Carroll says that

Labour make too many promises that are going to cost too much money

and, like last term, the end of their last time, when precious

little will have changed. We will be up to our highs in debt and they

will be leaving notes for their success are saying it is all gone.

Keep your views coming in, wherever you are in the country.

Coming up, we'll have a look at how rapper Bow Wow was caught out

Shares in the owner of Snapchat have sunk by nearly a quarter.

The problem for stockmarkets is that Snapchat hasn't grown quickly enough

since its floatation earlier this year.

Competition from rivals like Facebook hasn't helped.

The amount of money it generated in the last three months nearly

trebled to nearly ?115 million, but that's disappointing

Jasper Lawler is a Senior Markets Analyst at London

What is that? It is a brokerage, we work in Mayfair. Good for you. Why

are the results so bad? Like you inferred, the results are actually

pretty good. They tripled their sales over last year, but in

stock-market parlance, they missed expectations. The market expected

more. The big metric that we tend to follow with these kind of tech

companies, because they were not expected to make any money, we knew

they would make a loss, we are tracking whether they can make a

profit in the future, through user growth. User growth was not as fast

as it has been in the past. It is slowing, still growing, but slowing.

This is leading into the fears that Wall Street had originally, that

Snapchat is going to never quite make it in the big leagues of the

internet advertising giants, like Google and Facebook. One of the big

reasons is that Facebook are stealing a lot of their ideas and

copying features into their own apps. Like what? Stories is a big

feature. You can add together clips and videos of what you have been

doing, share it with your friends, manipulated in various ways and that

can be used to incorporate with adverts. That is how they make

money. Facebook already has a massive audience, so they are

sending the same features to the already massive audience. Snapchat

are still trying to grow the audience. Snapchat was launched as a

camera app, wasn't it? I don't know any teenager that uses it. They take

pictures and are adding ears and whiskers, but mostly they are using

it to chat? It was a confusing listing, they have some hardware as

well, they could integrate it with glasses, interacting almost

constantly with your friends, doing stories, sharing it. Essentially it

is a messaging app. The way you have to look at it at this point, we are

almost back to the IPO price. What does that mean? Where they listed

the stock initially, just three months ago. The share price jumped

up a lot in the first day and now it is back where it started. Any

potential investor now has a new opportunity. Why would you do that?

Because of the future potential. The potential I can see is actually

advertising, where they make their money, it could potentially be a lot

more interesting and interactive for users on Snapchat. How? Rather than

being a pain, as adverts mostly appear to be, I can demonstrate on

the phone, if you would like. I can bring it up on the telephone.

If I go to stories, you can add some friends and these are stories from

Cosmopolitan. So you read Cosmopolitan? This is for

demonstration purposes, I promise! I will try not to move it around too

much. A good example is people follow what their friends are doing

and celebrities. Again, purely for demonstration, this is the story and

she is playing around with some goats in Mexico maybe. People are

watching this and they have chosen to watch it. The difference with

advertising on TV is Snapchat know what you have been browsing in your

search history and they know you are watching this by choice and they

send you a targeted advert that you are very likely to act on. So it is

not interactive. I am thinking you do not mean that there is an advert

you can manipulate. They are selling you a vision. They are saying, this

is what the future is. It is not something you have chosen to watch

and suddenly you are playing a game. There was an advert at the end of

this and it was an online subscription service where you could

subscribe right there using Snapchat. Thank you very much. A

senior market analyst at London capital group Investments. Next, a

woman in Taiwan with terminal breast cancer has fulfilled one of her

dreams by having a wedding photo shoot done, despite the fact she is

single. She has posted it on social media and has had a huge response

around the world. This is her story. She is 28 and she has terminal

breast cancer. Let me read some comments from you about the leaked

Labour manifesto. This is from John. I support many of the policies

outlined in the manifesto, but I cannot see how they will be

financed. By the way, some of the policies are nationalising the

railways, parts of the energy sector, abolishing university

tuition fees in England. 8 billion more for social care over the next

Parliament. 100,000 new council homes will be built. Pat says, I

think it was deliberately leaked to give Labour a head start. I am

concerned the league is a pretence. Jamie, does nobody remember Labour

implemented increased tuition fees in the 1980s? I campaign against

student loans and fees introduced by the Conservatives. Mark says, I am a

long-time Labour voter who switched to the SNP. If Labour had been

proposing these policies years ago, I would never have left them for the

SNP. I suspect many new SNP voters would say the same. Keep those

coming in. We will talk more about the leaked manifesto after ten.

From Snapchat to Instagram - let's have a quick word

about the rapper Bow Wow who's been caught out making a bit

of an embarrassing claim on social media.

As a result, everyone else on social media was trying to outdo him

Our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba is here.

Rapper Bow Wow posted on Instagram, suggesting that he was flying

It was exclusive. Look at it. I would be happy with one of the cars

Unfortunately someone spotted how he appeared to be really travelling,

and tweeted a photo of Bow Wow actually sitting in economy

Twitter is never one to miss out on developing trend.

That one with the pictures has been tweeted 20,000 times and liked

40,000 times. People acted with lead to the gas. Tell us about the

It triggered the hashtag #BowWowChallenge with people around

the world posting messages in which they pretended

Patrice Pannel tweeted how much she was enjoying her holiday

The pictures on the left look very impressive, but on the right it puts

it in slightly more interesting context.

Bow Wow's social media mishap isn't the first time that celebrities

When Charlie Sheen wanted to send popstar and fellow celeb

Justin Bieber his phone number, he accidentally tweeted it

publically - and ended up being inundated with calls and messages.

None of them were from Justin Bieber unfortunately!

Music star Rita Ora overestimated her fans' enthusiasm when she posted

a tweet promising some new music if her message was

When it only got a few thousand, she deleted her original message.

And Manchester City premiership star Ilkay Gundogan posted

a tweet referring to how he was with the Arsenal team

And the photo was of Arsenal player Mesut Ozil, leading everyone

to conclude that the same person looked after the social media

for both players and had accidentally tweeted

Again it was swiftly deleted a few minutes after everyone noticed this.

The dangers mean than some celebrities have handed final

control over their social media to their PR team or management

including Adele who has around 28 million followers on Twitter

I'm not a drinker any more, but when Twitter first came out,

And like nearly put my foot in it quite a few times,

so my management decided that you have to go through, like,

two people and then it has to be signed off by someone.

But they are all my tweets, no one writes my tweets.

Let's talk to PR expert Mark Borkowski.

You are on. I am too slow. What do you think about this embarrassing

post? There are many embarrassing posts from celebrities because they

do have teams that manage these huge crowds of people who follow them.

Will Bow Bow have posted that himself or will it be a member of

staff? Possibly. If you have millions of followers, you cannot do

it all yourself. These are incredibly powerful channels. You do

not have to go through another media to get your message across. Of

course there are great deals to be done. You can be invited to a hotel

or a restaurant and it is free and you are paid. Some people are

getting ?14,000 for a tweet. It is the equivalent of trying to brand a

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

a big enough following, yes. But why pretend or is it a mistake? I

remember there was some nascent celebrity building their profile and

deliberately made spelling errors because it generated conversation.

Bow Bow is now being circulated around the social media space. Many

people have not heard of him before and they now have. But if you are

ridiculed on social media? Some people can take it. That is true.

From a celebrity's point of view, do you advise your clients to do it

themselves because it is direct contact with fans and you can tell

if someone is authentic or not? Putting your mobile phone in the

hands of somebody to do your own tweets can be a disaster. Some

people are natural with it. Some people are not very good at doing it

and get terrified. You do not tweet when you are drinking. As Adele

said. There was that incredible picture of robbing thick which

caused his marriage to fail because he was photographed with a starlet

in a nightclub. Unfortunately behind in a mirror you could see him

putting his hand on that person's rear quarters. There has to be a

transparency because people buy into it. Obvious questions are asked like

what is your birthday? Facts can be answered by a robot, but sometimes

they can go wrong. People like to know they are connected with that

celebrity. We have been obsessed with celebrities since the days of

early celebrities. There was an insight into celebrities' lives and

people bought into that. Fan clubs in the 60s you had to stick to the

message. The long answer to your short question is you need people to

help you because you can do this alone, particularly with a mass

following of people going at you all the time.

We have got some changes and most of us today it will be dry and fine,

but more cloud is coming into southern parts of England and Wales.

We could get some heavy and thundery showers developing later on in the

afternoon. Increasingly humid air in the South East. As we run through

this evening and overnight there will be more showers and heading

further north into Wales and the Midlands and wetter weather arriving

in Northern Ireland. A cooler night in the north of England, but it will

be warmer than it has been for some time. More cloud on the way on

Friday. Very few showers for Scotland and also across northern

England. But the rest of England and Wales will see heavy showers,

thunderstorms and torrential downpours again. There could be some

localised flooding. Some much needed rain, but not quite everywhere.

Good morning, welcome to the programme.

Labour's leaked manifesto promises a include plans

to nationalise the railways, abolish tuition fees

The party's campaign co-ordinator says he's relaxed about the leak.

Leaks happen, they always happen and they probably always will.

But the point is there's an opportunity now, we're talking

about Labour's policies a week in advance of when we

Also on on the programme today, Seni Lewis, a 23-year-old IT

graduate from London died after 11 police officers used multiple

force to restrain him in a mental health hospital.

Yesterday, an inquest found that they used excessive force and

contributed to his death. His parents will tell us about their

long fight for justice in the next hour. We will get the latest on a

special conference in London on saving lives in Somalia, where

thousands are facing famine. As a global Britain, we will continue to

drive coordinated international efforts that increase global

security and protect our values around the world.

Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

Labour's draft manifesto has been leaked to the press before its

launch date. It outlines plans to scrap tuition fees, ban fracking and

create some publicly owned energy companies. The campaigns coordinator

told Breakfast the leak gives the party an opportunity to talk about

their vision for the country. The Conservatives have called it a

shambles. Theresa May is hosting an

international conference on Somalia. The Prime Minister is meeting world

leaders for the summit in London. It's hoped humanitarian aid

for the drought-stricken country can be offered and a new plan to improve

security there can be agreed. A few moments ago she made

these opening remarks. If Somalia is a foothold for

terrorist groups like al-Shabab and Daesh, if global trade is hijacked

by pirates in the Indian Ocean or millions are continually displaced

in a desperate bid to escape poverty and drought, the impact of

instability in Somalia is felt across the whole region and the

wider world. James Comey has made his first

public comments since President Trump sacked him

as the head of the FBI on Tuesday. In a farewell letter to colleagues

Mr Comey said he wasn't going to "spend time on the decision

or the way it was executed". Democrats say they suspect

the dismissal is linked to the FBI's investigation into alleged links

between the Trump Mr Trump said Mr Comey

was fired "because he was not Young people on the latest HIV drugs

now have a near-normal life expectancy, according

to a new study. say new drug treatments mean many

people are now living ten years longer than those who started

treatment in the mid 1990s. Their findings show a ten-year

increase in life expectancy since anti-retroviral drugs became

widely available two decades ago. The Conservatives say

they will honour the NATO commitment to spend at least 2% of economic

output on defence if they're They have also pledged to increase

the budget by at least 0.5% above inflation in every year

year for the duration Party leader Tim Farron will also

say that he is committed to reopening the Dubs Programme

fined a record ?400,000 Keurboom Communications bombarded

people with almost 100 million nuisance phone calls about road

accidents and PPI claims The fine was handed to them by the

Information Commissioner's Office, which has already fined 23 companies

in the past year. The FA Chairman Greg Clarke has

defended the rights of football club's to pay agents whatever

they see fit. Clarke has spoken in the light

of a Fifa investigation into the ?89 million transfer

of Paul Pogba from Juventus They have written to United asking

for clarification on the deal after allegations in a new book

in Germany claimed Pogba's agent Mino Raiola scooped a cool

?41 million in the deal, 22 of which, it's claimed,

came directly from United. If Manchester United want to pay

an agent that much money, and I do not know, I have not looked

into each individual transfer, They are accountable

to their owners and their fans. How much should we pay for players

and how much should go to agents If football wants to change that

and limit the amount of money agents get,

we have to sit down as a game, led by the FA and the EFL

and the clubs and talk about that. Clarke was speaking

to the BBC at a Fifa Congress in Bahrain where the body's

President Gianni Infantino said he believes those who want to use

football to get rich should get out of the sport in stark

contrast to Clarke's view. Infantino also spoke about the issue

of racism in the sport after a player in Italy left

the field in protest after racist chants,

only to be banned for the next game and although the ban

was subsequently overturned, We have two fights tirelessly

against racism and discrimination. That is our duty. In football, the

only colour that counts is the colour of the shirt of your team, no

other colour. We have to fight for that. There are idiots everywhere in

the world, sadly. But it doesn't matter, we can give strong messages,

with an thanks to football. Arsenal fans have been on a bit of a

roller-coaster. You may remember Arsenal went

through a dreadful run of form It prompted protest

marches before home games. There were planes flying over the

stadium, targeted at Arsene Wenger. His future still hangs in the

balance. But after reaching the FA Cup final

the club are now three points away They beat Southampton 2-0 last night

for a fourth win in their last six Premier League outings,

thanks to second half goals from This is how the run-in to the end of

the season looks. Liverpool have just two matches. You would expect

them to get six points against West Ham or Middlesbrough, but they

faulted in recent times. Manchester City are fourth. Arsenal will need

one of those two to drop points, you would imagine. They would need three

wins from their trip to stoke this weekend and home games with

Sunderland and Everton next week. The home support at the Emirates

could be crucial if they do make it. 48 of the world's top 50

a big Europa League semi-final clash Their match with Celta Vigo is live

on Radio 5 Live from seven. Good morning, welcome to the

programme. He was a 23-year-old IT graduate

with no history of mental illness. In 2010 he went out with friends

over the August bank holiday. He returned home saying

he thought he'd been drugged. When his behaviour became erratic

he voluntarily went to 18 hours later he collapsed

and he never woke up. Yesterday, an inquest concluded

excessive force was used by 11 police officers to restrain him

and that contributed to his death. The jury said being restrained

by officers for firstly ten minutes and then later 20 minutes,

was unnecessary and unreasonable. The coroner ruled out

unlawful killing. This, after two investigations

by the police watchdog We can speak now to Aji

and Conrad Lewis, Sheni's mum and dad, as well as Deborah Coles,

director of the charity Inquest, Thank you very much for coming on

the programme. Conrad, the jury said that the restraint used by those

officers for the prolonged period of time, ten minutes and then 20

minutes, was unnecessary and unreasonable. Excessive. What was it

like to hear that, as evidence? Traumatic. Initially, we didn't

really know what happened until the inquest, which was six and a half

years later. Now to hear how it all unfolded, the lies that were being

told by the police and the health staff, you know, we were just lost

for words. Everybody in court gasped when they heard the treatment. I

think the doctor said they were treating him like an animal. What

was it like for you,Aji? He had so much promise, still a child, looking

to the future. And his life was snubbed out. The whole family is

traumatised. Life does not move as smoothly as you would like. It is

really traumatic. It affects everybody. When you have a

23-year-old son, you kind of think, we have done our job, now. We have

done a good job? Yes. He enjoyed his studies, we never had to tell him to

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

job, where are you? But he was full of the joys of spring. It is just

very sad. Sad. Do you have an answer yet as to why this happened? No. We

are still waiting for answers. From the police, from the health

authorities. After waiting seven years, I'm not quite sure any of

them are going to give us the answer that we need to hear. But if they

can get up and do what they are supposed to do, to stop other

families feeling the way we do, this is for the rest of our lives now,

but we don't want to see any other family in the same way we feel. It's

crippling. I am going to bring in Deborah, from the charity Inquest.

Explain to our audience what restraint was used on Seni for that

second period and what happened to him after the officers left him? The

jury were quite condemning in what happened, ultimately 11 officers

were involved in holding Seni facedown, in a prone position. He

also had mechanical restraints, two sets of handcuffs, leg and arm

restraints as well, to the point of complete collapse. The jury's

finding is unequivocal, that he was restrained to death. Even at the

point of collapse, neither the police or the doctor present went to

his aid, and evidence was given at the inquest that they thought he

might have been faking it. Faking unconsciousness? So they left the

room? I think what is so shocking about this case is the fact that

this was an extremely vulnerable man who had gone to hospital because he

needed help. He needed support, professional care. Someone in a

mental health crisis, that they can die in this circumstance, raises

questions about both the provision and quality of mental health

services, but also of the treatment by the police.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission review was completed a

couple of years ago and they concluded that six officers had a

case to answer for gross misconduct and they say now the inquest is over

they will be working with the Metropolitan police to ensure

disciplinary proceedings are held properly. We have a statement from

the Met police: It has been my ongoing commitment to obtain answers

for this family. The IPCC have been clearer about mistakes made in the

past and I have apologised to the Lewis family in public and in

private and the Met police have been directed to carry out disciplinary

procedures which I hope will take place as soon as possible. I do not

know if it is possible to explain the strain on you over the last

seven years. You lose your son, there are two IPCC investigations

then a judicial review and now a jury inquest. There was another

inquiry by the Health and Safety Executive. There was another

investigation. So, yes, each stage you feel thwarted, you have to keep

fighting, it is a struggle. You keep going. You keep going? Yes. We have

to. That is what we have been doing. What about the impact on your wider

family? We have two other children and two grandchildren and we try our

best as a family to keep ourselves going and motivate each other, be

there for each other and encourage the grandchildren. It is hard some

days. You know, each day can be different. You have given us a

little bit of an insight into what your son was like, tell us what he

was like. He was a young man, he liked his clothes, he had an eye for

a pretty girl, you know. He was fun loving, he had loads of friends, he

hated injustice and would stick up for anybody. He did not like

bullies. It is interesting, isn't it? And nobody had to tell him to

study. He knew he had to study and he would get on with it. He was just

a normal, gentle soul. Deborah, would a white 23-year-old man had

been treated like this? It is an interesting question. There is no

doubt from the work we have done that black, particularly young,

black men, particularly liked you to die from the use of force. But the

other area with a disproportionality is the area where people have mental

health problems. If you are a black man with mental health problems, it

raises important questions about stereotyping and whether or not, be

it fear or stigma, whether or not that informs treatment. I think what

happened and a terrible evidence this inquest has heard, the people

who should have been looking after him lost sight of him as a human

being. I think there were very important questions about training

in understanding racism and discrimination. But also one of the

things that this family have spoken about so movingly is the impact of

delay on their ability to grieve. I very much hope now they have got

some answers that they can begin that process. But for this family

and like families before and after, sadly these deaths are still

happening. We have got to ensure that there is both the

accountability of those responsible, but also learning. That is what this

family, like other families, like Conrad said, they want is not to

happen to someone else. We have got to demand of the Metropolitan police

and the Department of Health that they act on the findings of this

inquest. There is a review commissioned by the Prime Minister

when she was sitting as Home Secretary in 2015 because she had

met personally with the family and the family of another black man and

she was concerned about the protracted nature of the

investigations and the lack of justice that she commissioned a

review. That review was given to the new Home Secretary in January and is

still yet to be published. Of course that is an opportunity to try and

ensure that we learn from these awful, preventable death. Thank you

very much for talking to us. Thank you for coming on the programme. I

have a message from somebody who was watching. My heart goes out to the

family, totally shocking, shameful and devastating. Heartbreaking

beyond words. You have spoken with great dignity this morning, thank

you. Thank you very much indeed. Usually one of the most closely

guarded documents in a the run up to an election building up to a set

piece event where a party publishes its planned direction

for the country, the manifesto. But it looks like we know exactly

what will be in Labour's manifesto before we were supposed

to because it was leaked last night. Norman, run through what is in the

draft manifesto. This is a massive document with a huge number of

pledges. I do not recall a manifesto with so many promises contained in

it. It is like the Encyclopaedia Britannica of manifestos, everything

from building 1 million more houses to more childcare, to a ban on

fracking, down to small policies like ensuring that rail companies

provide free Wi-Fi on trains. I got a train the other day and the Wi-Fi

was lousy, so maybe it is not a bad idea. Let's meet at you through some

of the big, benchmark policies. Top of the list is nationalising things

like the railways, Royal Mail, bringing that back into public

ownership, bits of the energy industry as well would be taken back

into the public sector. There would be more regulation of bus services.

The last time the Labour Party suggested that sort of public

ownership and we would have to go back to 1983 and Michael Foot and

his manifesto. He talked about taking back the shipyards and

telecoms and so on. The other big eye-catching announcement is

increasing income tax on the wealthy, those earning more than

?80,000. Jeremy Corbyn's people say these are the top 5% in society. We

are talking about the most wealthy. What the draft manifesto does not

tell us is how they will be hit. Maybe through a wealth tax, maybe by

increasing the number of people in the higher rate of tax, changing it

and inheritance tax. But the rich will be hit. University tuition fees

will be scrapped. That was a benchmark Jeremy Corbyn pledge when

he stood for the leadership. It was one of the things that galvanised

many of his young supporters. It became an iconic Jeremy Corbyn

methods. In the manifesto they confirm tuition fees will be

scrapped. That comes with a big price tag. It could cost around ?11

billion. That is an awful lot of money and we do not have the details

on how that will be paid for. Lastly, energy and rent price caps.

The government under Jeremy Corbyn would intervene to cap the amount

being paid for fuel bills at around ?1000. If you pay more, the Jeremy

Corbyn government would bring it down. Similarly, if you are

struggling to pay your rent in the private sector, a Jeremy Corbyn

government will look at introducing rental caps to put a lid on the

amount you have to pay to the landlord. There are a whole swathe

of policies. But what that is not really is a breakdown of how this is

all going to be paid for. There are a lot of big ticket items here. For

example they will end the public sector pay cap. They will keep the

triple lock on pensions. They will reverse most of the benefit changes

and cuts introduced by the Conservatives. They will extend

personal independence payments. Recently the Tories blocked that.

That is estimated to cost ?4 billion. They have also suggested ?8

billion for social care. At the moment we do not know where that

money is coming from and that will be one of the big questions

With me now is Emma Rees, she's from Momentum.

And Stephen Bush from the Current Affairs and Political

Hello to both of you. What do you think, Emma? I think the draft

manifesto which was leaked last night set out a set of really bold

policies which I think will be incredibly popular with the

electorate and will tackle our rigged economy and our rigged system

in the interests of the many and not the few. Just as Labour's slogan

says, this draft manifesto puts flesh on the bones of that

statement. It is definitely ambitious and radical. Will it

appeared to conservative voters and Ukip photos? Will it appeal? We also

know from elections past that people tend to assess the policies through

the prism of the leader. We talk about Labour's 1983 manifesto being

radical. At the time the leader was reassuring and people looked at him

and said, you are all right. Theresa May looks like a safe pair of hands.

The manifesto will not be Labour's problem in this election. It is the

messenger? They have got to turn people round on Jeremy Corbyn they

have got to get him doing classic events, Desert Island discs, where

he comes across as a warm, normal person who people trust to take

decisions. People need to know more about Jeremy Corbyn rather than what

they see at the moment and the stereotype that he has been tooling

around the country doing lots of campaign events. It is unlike

Theresa May. He is speaking to people who already support him. That

is not true. He has been doing many visits in Tory held seats. In seats

where there has been an increase in Ukip support in the past. He is very

much talking to people across the country. And despite that... The

contrary to what I think you are about to say. He has had more

visibility and he is getting more coverage in the press and he is

doing many more visits and campaign events across the country. We have

seen an increased dramatically in the popularity of the Labour Party.

We are catching up in the polls. Not in the local elections which is the

only poll we can trust at the moment. I think that is true. There

has been a ten point increase that was reported last weekend. I think

we have now got... The Tories gained over 500 councillors. That is a

distorted view for a general election. I know you cannot

extrapolate, but if we are looking at polls, let's look at the one

where people voted and that is the most recent. These policies set out

in the draft manifesto, and they have been announced over the

previous few weeks, have wide public support. Things like the ?10 minimum

wage, 77% of people support that policy and that will make a huge

impact on the lives of ordinary people. Those are the policies

people will vote for in this election. Over the next few weeks

the Labour Party and all its half a million members will be out on the

doorsteps and speaking to people up and down the country. People are

saying there is a lot of expenditure, how will it be paid

for? Do we have to wait for the manifesto to hear that? There will

be some changes, but not many changes in the meeting today. I

imagined the language around defence will be more robust and will be more

pro-Britain's defence industry than in the draft. There will be some

stuff on spending. They have a fiscal ruled that they can borrow to

invest in infrastructure, but they have a tight limits on their

day-to-day expenditure. Things like transport and school building are

paid for by corporation tax rises and income tax rises, changes to

national insurance and private schools and private health care.

OK, every day until June 8th we'll be highlighting the best gaffe,

or highly amusing moment from the election

We need an election and we need one now. Do every city and every time.

It is our clear intention. The big question is simply this. Our voters

getting tired? Politicians... Let me finish. So, Norman, what have you

got? Elections encourage political

groupies, if you remember Milifandom, when he was mobbed

getting off a campaign bus. Jeremy Corbyn seems to have his fans around

him, on the campaign trail, offering him bananas and kissing him on the

cheek. Now we have a new group that are dubbing themselves the

Maylennials. These are people that love Theresa May. They have been

sharing all sorts of pictures of the Prime Minister online. This is

something that caught my eye. Yes. There is Theresa May with her

strong, beautiful blonde hair. Not something I have cause to use.

Another one, Matrix May, with dark sunglasses, may be going in to see

Jean-Claude Juncker. Here, with a bunch of hoodlums, going into

negotiations with a fag in her mouth. Another thing that caught my

eye, George Osborne is standing down now as an MP to go and edit the

London Evening Standard. A week ago, when he started the job, he looks

pretty sharp and perky. He looks OK. He is getting on with life, looks

quite refreshed. This was Mr Osborne after a week in the job. Sorry, I've

got the picture. Can you see it? That is his first day in the job,

and that is two weeks in. If he thought it was going to be easy to

edit a newspaper, he is not looking like it now. I think he is finding

it harder than he thought to be a humble hack.

Still to come, aid agencies in Somalia are battling a humanitarian

crisis of epic proportions. We will get the latest from a special

Three months ago the UN warned that Somalia was at risk

This morning the foreign secretary Boris Johnson is hosting

a conference to address the humanitarian crisis in Somalia.

It's bringing together politicians from East Africa

and international organisations, and they'll be discussing how

to tackle the issues facing the country -

Lets tell you a bit more about Somalia.

Somalia is a country in East Africa that's home to more than 11 million

It was torn apart by a civil war that lasted for

In 2012 a new government was installed but the country

In 2011 there was a major famine and more than 250,000

are at risk of starvation - that's more than half the country.

April should have been the height of the rainy season,

but most of Somalia saw little to no rain during the whole month.

And it's suffering its worst cholera epidemic in five years -

over 600 people have died of the disease so far this year

Theresa May is attending an international conference

It's hoped humanitarian aid for the drought-stricken country can

be offered and a new plan to improve security there can be agreed.

Theresa May made these opening remarks.

These challenges that face Somalia affect us all.

If Somalia is a foothold for terrorist groups

like Al-Shabab and Daesh, if global trade is hijacked

by pirates in the Indian Ocean, if millions are continually

displaced in a desperate bid to escape poverty and drought,

the impact of instability in Somalia is felt across the whole region

But what we have seen over the last five years is that when we work

together on these issues we can make progress.

Let's talk now to Sagal Mohamed, who is an activist here in the UK -

she'll be protesting outside the conference.

Kevin Watkins, CEO of Save the Children joins us now

after addressing the Somalia conference in Central London.

Haleema Abdullahi has been raising funds for Somalia

Welcome, all of you. Why are you protesting? Yes, there was a protest

arranged today, around ten o'clock to one o'clock. The reason is, as

you have mentioned, we have a security situation in Somalia,

therefore we have people there to protect the Somali people and help

the government to bring about peace in Somalia. However, saw the general

public in Somalia feel there is a lack of accountability from the

African union forces, in regards to rape cases, documented by the UN,

where nobody has been taken to court, nobody has been prosecuted

for that. Also, there is... But is this the right place to protest

about that? I think it is because the support, the Somali people that

live abroad, are very much passionate and engaged about what is

happening in Somalia, both the positive and the negative. What do

you think of this process? Is it the right place to be doing it all would

you not want to comment on that? I think it is a really important

point, there is terrible gender-based violence on the ground

that we see on the ground. But we were -- must not lose sight of the

fact that there are 1.5 million children malnourished in Somalia.

250,000 of those children are on the brink of starvation. To give you a

picture of what is behind the headline numbers, three weeks ago I

met a two children. This was in the northern part of Somalia, visiting a

health and nutrition clinic. One little boy was brought to the clinic

by his mother, severely malnourished, pneumonia and

diarrhoea. Doctors said they thought he had no chance of surviving, but

he pulled through. We had a well-stocked clinic, all of the

medicine was there, he lived. Another girl was brought to the

clinic in a coma. Staff could not rehydrate her. They could not find

the vein to put the drip into, she died. What this conference is

dealing with them trying to address is how we create a situation in

which there are fewer tragic endings, like this little girl who

died, and more endings like what happened with Abdul. We have huge

funding gaps, but we also have huge opportunities to deliver on the

ground and make a difference. You are trying to raise money for

Somalia, for what? And why does Somalia need money from the rest of

the world? Rig we are raising money and items. I run a project and we

are going to be raising certain items like the hydration packs for

cholera, sanitary pads, cooking utensils. The priority of most NGOs

as food and water, which is fine, but these people need other

essential items. We have collaborated with DHL, we will send

them direct. Even though these organisations do an amazing job,

this is not enough, the international community need to come

together, more needs to be done. There is definitely a shift towards

self-reliance. We also need to take action. A lot of the promises made

by the international community at the Somali conference in 2012 were

not honoured. There was a lot of hope people have hope for this

conference as well. There is definitely a shift in mentality. We

need to do it ourselves. What will be different, when promises are made

in this conference? I think what you're describing is what is

possible. The Somali community is making a huge difference on the

ground. I was making up a point about about commerce is? A broken

promise will translate into more people losing their lives. And that

happened in 2012? It has happened since the start of this crisis. One

of the things we have been calling for, a $200 million funding gap is

there until the end of June, we are calling for that to be delivered. At

the same time, the UN has presented an expanded plan for the rest of the

year. Governments have to be held to account here. This is an avoidable

tragedy that we have unfolding before our eyes. The UK has stepped

up to the plate. Some other donors have stepped up. There are far too

many that are missing in action. How do you hold the Somali government to

account? It is a very difficult job. From my experience, one of the

things that really works is public engagement and campaigning. The

Somali government do tend to pay attention to the general Somali

public, where their political and social ideas live. We recently had

an election and had a very populist person, a person that the majority

of people wanted elected, although we did not have a fully democratic

election. We managed to, by public campaigning, getting the word out,

influence decision-making in Somalia so that we elected a President that

the people wanted. Let me ask you, both of you, if I may, some people

in this country say, why is it our responsibility? They don't agree

with the fact that 0.7% of our GDP is given in aid, partly to Somalia?

This is the humanitarian issue. You cannot prevent a drought, but having

it turn into a humanitarian issue, that is something we can prevent.

These are human beings, starving and dying, fleeing small towns in search

of food and, along the way, they are dying. I think it is their

collective response ability of the world, including the Somali

government. There is a definite push towards self-reliance will --

towards self-reliance. I have spoken to Paris that have lost children in

Somalia. I think every parent watching this programme will

understand the case for delivering aid. This commitment is about

something very fundamental in our DNA, about compassion, empathy and

caring about people in other places that are at the sharp end. We can't

let children suffer because of a very ideological debate on the part

of some people against aid. It is not ideological. People say we

need to sort out our own children first. We will leave it there.

This programme has learned that men who have been left unable to have

sex following treatment for prostate cancer cannot get the corrective

Erectile dysfunction is a potentially devastating

complication which can occur following the removal of all or part

Until recently, surgery to correct the problem was widely

However, we have found that more and more patients are being refused

local funding for the procedure, leading to a postcode lottery

for those awaiting treatment, as Matthew Hill reports.

I didn't go into any conversation that might lead down to any form

of relationship or anything, just in case we got to the stage

where she would realise that I didn't have any use

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK,

with over 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year.

When he was in his 40s, this man, who we are calling Richard

to protect his privacy, was diagnosed with the disease.

The operation to remove his prostate gland cured him of the cancer,

but it left him with a legacy of problems, including

an inability to get an erection, or to control when he would urinate.

For about eight months after the operation...

I couldn't laugh, because I was frightened that

Even at work, I had to wear dark trousers

All my symptoms that I had after the operation

was actually just came out, so that was the incontinence,

the erectile dysfunction, so those were just standard,

I wasn't able to use the pump until a few...

They give you a pump because they say that you've got

to start using it in order to keep the blood flow into the penis.

So I used the pump almost as soon as I possibly could.

How devastating was that on your life?

So devastating that, before the operation,

I was prepared to die than to not have any function of my prostate.

Because I couldn't imagine walking around wearing an incontinent pad,

not getting erections, not getting any sensation.

I wasn't sure what it was going to be like when you pass a woman,

I wasn't sure what was going to happen.

So for me, I didn't want the operation.

But if the pump and medication fail, there is a remedy.

It involves major surgery to insert an inflatable penile implant.

This is a serious operation, but it is for people

suffering serious problems, and is used as a last resort.

These are the cylinders that are placed in the patient.

This is the pump, which is carefully tucked away

And this is a reservoir of fluid that is put out of harm's way

When I press the pump, you can see the cylinders

get filled with fluid, so after just a few pumps, you will

Now, the excellent bioengineering means that by pressing the valve

at the top of the pump here, holding it down, we then can squeeze

the fluid back from these cylinders into the reservoir.

The operation costs between ?9,000-10,000.

But it can transform patients' lives.

The confidence that I've got in talking to women and stuff...

I've also found, I'm not sure if this is supposed

I have less incontinence, so I can laugh more and do sit ups

A few years ago, this operation was available

Centres like Southmead in Bristol ten years ago were carrying out

But recently, less than five operations have been carried out,

because the local NHS is turning down applications for funding.

It means patients are facing long delays in getting treatment.

Keith, whose name and identity we've changed, says the waiting

Obviously there's no sex involved in the marriage.

But apart from that, I tend to be thinking

It's very difficult to talk about, even as a married couple.

There's this contact that you have which constantly reminds you of it,

Shunned away, if you like, purely to do that.

And of course there's the thing that when I talk about it,

Consequently she tends to sort of, oh no, here he goes again.

When in actual fact, you know, I then start thinking,

you're not listening, you're not interested,

It's not something that once a month or once a year,

And we've learned that where you live has a big

impact on your chances of getting the operation.

It's a postcode lottery, but one of the worst performing

regions in the country is the South West.
