13/06/2017 Victoria Derbyshire

Hello, it's Tuesday, it's nine o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

The law no deal, Theresa May will meet the leader of the DUP to broker

a will to help her stay on in Number Ten. -- deal or no deal. Theresa May

tells the party there will be no backtracking on gay rights, despite

the deal with the DUP, but could it signal an end to austerity and a

shift on Brexit? With MPs returning

to the Commons today, we've gathered together

a group of you to tell politicians what you want

from them in their job. Integrity, I think integrity is key,

we want somebody that will have the same persona in their public life as

they do in their private lie. Sir Menzies have an inability to answer

questions directly, and it is really simple. -- some MPs. Serving as an

MP is a privilege, not a right. Almost a year since Jo Cox was

murdered, her parents tell us how much they miss her. We will always

be broken, because there is a piece missing. To the outside, while we do

appear strong, all of us, there is a lot of days when they are bad, it is

bad. We'll talk to Jo Cox's sister

and husband before 11. And this programme has learned that

another group which represents sexual abuse survivors is pulling

out of the Government's sex abuse inquiry, accusing Theresa May of

failing to protect survivors. We will hear from them before ten.

Our top story today, Theresa May will meet Arlene Foster to thrash

out the details of a deal to support a minority, government.

Opposition parties criticised the talks, Sinn Fein suggesting the deal

would undermine the Good Friday peace agreement. With Brexit talks

due to begin in less than a week, the EU chief negotiator Michel

Barnier has called on Britain not to waste time. A medical correspondent

Ben Wright has more. -- political correspondent Ben Wright has more.

DUP leader Arlene Foster said it is a tremendous opportunity

Theresa May knows a deal with the DUP is her only

So an agreement will be reached, probably today,

A confidence-and-supply arrangement will provide

DUP support to the Tories on major votes

like the Budget and the Queen's Speech.

The alliance leaves the Government

with a vulnerable majority of just six.

But Theresa May now looks safer in her job

after a meeting with Tory MPs yesterday evening.

She apologised for the disastrous campaign,

declaring, "I got us into this mess and I will get us out of it."

There is a reality that is we have to be pragmatic about what is

introduced, we have got to work harder to try to bring people

along with us, both inside the Conservative Party and beyond.

And while Theresa May tries to rebuild the Government

from a hung parliament, a warning from the EU

that the UK is wasting valuable time negotiating Brexit.

More than two months have passed since Theresa May

handed in the UK's notice, but no talks have happened,

and there is a two-year deadline to hammer out a Brexit deal.

Speaking to the Financial Times, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier

said the UK needed to appoint a negotiated team with a mandate

soon because the process would be extraordinarily complex.

Theresa May is also facing calls from some Tory MPs and Labour

exactly the uncertainty she wanted the election to stop.

We can talk to Norman Smith, who is in Downing Street, where politicians

are arriving for a Cabinet meeting, but tell us what we can expect from

this deal to be brokered between this deal to be brokered between

Arlene Foster and Theresa May. Well, the deal is basically Mrs May's

political lifeline to survival, because without it she does not have

a majority in the Commons, and she cannot govern, so she absolutely has

to have this deal. I think it is almost certain she will get it,

would not be coming here. So we can would not be coming here. So we can

expect they'd heal, and part of it will be a simple transaction, money

for votes, Arlene Foster will want cash for investment, schools,

hospitals, maybe a few international conferences, maybe government

contracts, big sporting events in Northern Ireland, to show that she

is getting something for Northern Ireland out of the deal. But the

interesting part of the arrangement is what is not going to be spelt

out, and that is the implications for austerity and Brexit. On

austerity, the DUP have always opposed many of the austerity

measures introduced by this and the previous governments. They still

oppose things like the bedroom tax, getting rid of the triple lock on

pensions, means testing benefits for the elderly, so the expectation is

Mrs May will have to drop large chunks of austerity. That is not as

difficult as it sounds, because Tories believe that one of the

reasons Mr Corbyn did so well is because he kept banging on about

austerity. So to some extent she is pushing at an open door. The more

complex and difficult area is on Brexit, because those ministers and

MPs who want to shift Mrs May away from her approach on Brexit, and

instead to focus on the economy and the impact on the economy of Brexit,

believe that the DUP will be on board, because of their concerns

about what might happen if there is some sort of hard border between

northern and southern Ireland. So there is a view that perhaps the DUP

could help tilt the argument now raging again over Brexit against Mrs

May. Thank you for the moment, Norman Smith, at Downing Street.

New guidelines are being introduced to ensure that sentences for

offences committed against children in England and Wales properly

reflect the arm suffered by victims. Those who try to blame others could

face tougher punishments. The parents of murdered MP Jo Cox told

this programme they will always be broken after their daughter's death.

Friday marks a year since the Labour MP was killed outside a constituency

surgery. This weekend, her family is encouraging people to join with

friends and neighbours for a series of community events being held in

her memory. We will talk to her husband Brendan and sister Kim at

around half past ten. Bev on Facebook says my heart goes

out to Jo's family for their loss and the way she was murdered, but

life goes on. She is in a better place, let her rest in peace. On

Facebook, a very sad loss, Jason on Facebook says, what a beautiful

woman Jo Cox was. Alex, if Parliament was made up of people

like Jo Cox, what an amazing society we would be living in. Thank you

very much for those. Let me bring you breaking news from Germany, it

is being reported by a French news agency, several people have been

wounded after shots were fired at a railway station near Munich. One

person has been detained, according to police, several people have been

injured, a female police officer was badly wounded. Munich police have

just tweeted, authorities say a handgun was found during a police

operation at a station in Munich, although it is not thought to be

terrorist related. Several people injured after shots were fired at a

railway station near Munich, one person detained, it is not thought

to be terrorism related, we are being told. Clearly, we will bring

you more as soon as we have it. 11 minutes past nine, we will talk to

voters in the next few minutes about what they want from MPs, who

returned to work today, who returned to the Commons after that election.

So much as happened in the last few days, hasn't it? But they are going

to draw up a sort of manifesto of what they would like from MPs as

they come back to work, get in touch with your own views. OK, let's bring

you a bit of sport. And British bobsleigh is the latest

sport to have its coaches come under scrutiny.

What's been going on? Yes, a senior coach working

with the country's Olympic bobsleigh And there have been a number

of complaints over a "toxic Earlier this year, a host

of athletes wrote anonymously to the chief executive

of the sport's governing to share concerns over

the behaviour of key performance One athlete alleged they had

experienced racism several times from a senior coach,

and that the coach referred to black people as lazy and had "a blatant

dislike towards people of colour". in favour of Caucasian males

on the performance programme and a racial stigma

against black drivers. Another complainant said,

"sexist comments are regular, there have been claims of racist

remarks which all get ignored, athletes are literally terrified

of putting a foot wrong," and there was "dictatorship

within the management". Despite this, just a month later,

the people complaining were told no British bobsleigh.

And Theresa May might a chance to go to the football tonight?

Yes, Theresa May and Emmanuel Macron will be at the Stade de France in

Paris, I imagine they will get time to talk politics, but quite a

significant fixture - just a friendly between England and France,

but the significance is that French fans have been as to sing God Save

The Queen in solidarity with Britain after the terror attacks in

Manchester and London. The tribute echoes a couple of years ago when

British fans, English fans at Wembley were asked to sing La

Marseillaise alongside the French fans, just four days after those

atrocities in Paris, so it kind of return fixture, if you like, four

French fans at the Stade de France. This were being's last game of the

season, just a friendly against France, kick-off is at a de-clutter

night. And England's younger football is

back with their World Cup. Yes, they flew back late last night

from South Korea, the first World Cup win since 1966, this is them

arriving back, manager Mark Simpson said it was too soon to claim they

are the next generation of golden players. Gareth Southgate has said

it is to over the clubs to nurture this young talent, and it will be

interesting to see what happens to them next, because a lot of these

players you may not have heard of, but they are signed to big clubs,

and I think Gareth Southgate means that they all need a regular

first-team pitch time with their clubs so that they continue to

develop and improve, improve future England squads. And the worry is

that, in chasing success, clubs will spend a lot of money on expensive

foreign players, and that this home-grown, World Cup winning talent

will spend much of next season on the bench.

Thank you very much, Katherine, more from her during the morning. It is

nearly quarter past nine this Tuesday morning, and the most

powerful woman in Britain meet the Prime Minister in Downing Street

today. A little bit of laughter from our voters!

Arlene Foster of the Democratic Unionist Party, a small political

party from Northern Ireland with just ten MPs,

arrives to see what Theresa May can offer her in exchange

for the DUP's support because Theresa May's Conservatives

didn't win a majority in the last week's election,

Mrs May needs those ten DUP MPs to stay on in government.

Let's speak now to the former Conservative party leader and former

Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith.

Good morning. Do you feel any kind of affinity with the DUP? Can I say

one thing, the football match with France. I was at the England match

and I think it is wholly fitting and when I met French people they were

very moved that the fans had sung the French anthem. My question was

do you feel any kind of affinity with the DUP? Well, in the sense

that the Conservative Party is the majority party, but hasn't got a

overall majority. The DUP, it seems, appear, and are keen to let the

Conservative Party govern and as a result of that Theresa May has to

have a discussion with them. I think what you will find it is not about

having an affinity, it is about what on balance are the things that they

most want, the Conservatives to be in Government for and it's clear

that the kind of arrangement I expect we'll end up with will be

what they call a supply and confidence. That's to say on votes

of confidence they will support us. On things like the Queen's Speech,

they'll support us. On things like the Budget they will support us, but

they will keep their own counsel on other things and they may not

support us on other things, but the key areas where the votes are

important, they by and large will back us. But it won't be a

coalition, it will be a confidence and supply agreement. As long as

they do back you on those big votes, it's OK with you, is it, that some

of their MPs are repulsed by gay people, don't believe in same-sex

marriage and don't believe in climate change and don't believe

women who have been raped should have adorations? A large number of

these issues are devolved issues, but it's not going to change

anything. Theresa May made it clear on these areas where the

Conservative Party is settled and clear, the DUP will have no

influence over our views. We'll also anyway on those issues have a much

broader consensual cross party arrangement so we wouldn't need the

DUP on those issues, you know, I voted for gay marriage. I'm not

going toe trenching on that one is nor is the Conservative Party. This

will be an agreement, it is not about what their beliefs are, it is

about key areas of Government where they believe the Conservative Party

needs to deliver to keep the country stable and that's it. Will voters

get to see the terms of this deal? I don't think they will be that

complex, but I'm sure they will be clear and open. I would certainly

want them to be that because it's clear that understand that what we

won't have got involved in is any complex arrangement. Now, there is,

and going to be issues around investment in Northern Ireland, but

those are issues anyway that would have to be tackled as this is an

area that is of very high priority to restabilise after the troubles

and to make sure that the people there get good work and jobs and

getting businesses there. That sort of stuff is just something that was

in the plans. It is worth bearing in mind that as I understand Gordon

Brown was busy trying to do deal with them in 2010 as well. So these

kind of mathematical things are part of Parliament. And it seems that the

political price to pay for doing that deal from a Conservative point

of view, it will mean an end to austerity which some Conservative

backbenchers will welcome because the DUP don't support your measures

on austerity and Mrs May's and your vision of Brexit will have to go?

Well, let's deal with the austerity thing. Look, there were lots and

lots of issues and many of us, remember I resigned over a year ago

because I disagreed with George Osborne's direction of tral and I

have asked us to re-think whole areas of where we are. The length of

time that we are asking public servants and others to put up with

reduced flattened salaries has been an issue for me and many other

people and we would like to see that revisited. This isn't just an issue

to do with the DUP. What the election told us the election was

too early and we should have had time to resolve those issues, but,

on one side, there is a genuine discussion about that and I think

there are key issues around education and stuff that we need to

resolve. On the side of the Brexit side, actually the DUP are very

clear that they support Theresa May's original position which is no,

thet want control of the bofrders, money and laws. There will be no

entry into the single market and they're keen not to be in the

customs union. But they are opposed to her mantra of no deal is better

than a bad deal. They're not actually opposed that. I promise you

that this will become clear the DUP supports what her position is at

time of the election and the majority of the Conservative Party

believes this is a settled issue. So any idea... Well Ruth Davidson

doesn't. Not every single MP from Scotland necessarily follows her

line. The point is the party overall is settled. What we want, obviously

is to engage and discuss these matters with people, but in essence

those negotiations are due to start very, very shortly, ie next week and

the can Conservative Government needs to get on and make sure that

they now start talking to our European allies and friends about

how we arrange to have the benefits as the Labour Party stood on the

same manifesto, they stood on a manifesto which said no to the

single market. No to customs union and control of our borders. So the

majority of the British people had in front of them two parties that

constituted the majority of the votes that stood on very similar

manifestoes on Brexit. But it's not settled, is it? You must acknowledge

from the lack of a majority and bass of people like Ruth Davidson,

perhaps you think she's flexing her muscles too much, the question of

your Brexit vision has been reopened whether you like it or not? I'm not

overly bothered about that. The truth is we're going into

negotiations and in negotiations different elements will cold out I

think that the Conservative Party, people in Cabinet, who may well seem

to think that they're going to start reopening this, the answer is I

wouldn't try and re-open this before you start the negotiations because

all you'll get is what we don't want is another argument and row going on

in the governing party. What we need, we had a settled position. We

had agreed that position before we went into the last election. The

Labour Party to save their votes in those areas where there were strong

Leavers who voted Labour in the past they adopted almost exactly the same

position, you heard John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn saying in terms

over the weekend we will not be in the single market. They do not

intend to be in the customs union, but they want the benefits of having

a good trade deal and good arrangements for access and that's

what the Conservative negotiators want. So in a sense, what you've got

is a minority of people who just trying to prise this open again, it

shouldn't be opened and we should just get on with it and try and get

the best deal we can which helps preserve jobs and get good trade

deals. Iain Duncan Smith. Iain Duncan Smith will join hundreds

of other MPs as they return to Parliament for the first time

since the election on Thursday, an election which not only produced

a result which virtually no one was expecting,

but also showed yet more evidence of a country which is divided,

with many who feel let down by traditional politics

and politicians, and who aren't happy with the way

many conduct themselves. So what lessons can be learned

from the campaign, and what does it tell us about how the country

wants our politicians to behave? We've brought together a group

of voters here in the studio to chew the fat with two new MPs and two

with just a little more experience. And we're going to try and draw

up our audience manifesto or code of conduct for how

they want our politicians Bambos Charalambous

is the new Labour MP Christine Jardine, the new Lib Dem

MP for Edinburgh West. John Baron, Conservative MP for

Basildon and Billericay since 2001. Ben Bradshaw, the Labour MP

in Exeter since 1997. I can barely remember that year!

Welcome everybody. We've got voters as well. Let me ask, not the

politicians, our voters first of all. What word would you use to

describe politicians right now? Shady. Disindisingeneralous.

Dishonest. I'll come back with one word!

LAUGHTER I have more than one word. No, give

me a some if you can't contain it to one. In need of one. Yeah, I

strongly believe they're divided. You can see that throughout their

parties, not just in the Conservative Party, but also in the

Labour Party. Too divided. What about you? I would say unavailable.

Unavailable definitely. Meaning, what you can't get access to them?

They don't come across that way. They come across from a come across

as if they're from a completely different world. How do you react to

those adjectives? I think it's understandable that people would

think that way after some of the things that happened in British

politics over the past few years. I'm not at all surprised. I think we

have to work to reassure people that we're not all duplicitous or shady

and try to be more united in the way that we look at things? I think we

need to regain the trust of the public. Easier said than done? It is

hard, but you get a and great opportunity as a new MP to build

that trust with your electorate. We need to go out there and make sure

we are listening to people and that we are truly representing them. Ben

Bradshaw, you have been an MP for a long time. You will have heard these

adjectives before, is it disheartening that people are still

saying this? It is a bit. I won a Tory seat in 1997, I have a 16,000

majority, I haven't achieved that by not being available and your advice

to the new MPs and to long-standing MPs was the right one. Make yourself

available. Jo Cox was a fantastic role model about what an MP could be

like and should be like. She made herself very available and lost her

life for doing that and certainly it's a model that good MPs and the

vast majority of MPs are in this because they want to serve their

constituents and their country. The vast majority of MPs go into

politics for the right reason because the concept of public

service, they want to serve the public. And I think the vast

majority do a decent job at that, but there is this disconnect which

we need to try and repair and mend and all I would say is look at your

own individual MP because what is interesting in this debate is when

you talk to constituents, you get a different view of their local MP

than you do of the concept generally. The nature of this

conversation, it is broadly generalised, you appreciate that,

but Mel, you will have heard politicians say look, we are in it

for the right motive, so why do you still have such a bad feeling about

them, that their reputation is so poor? Well, I don't have a totally

bad feeling, but I think there is not enough leadership coming from

politicians. When we face Brexit, we will need more than political

management. We need people who can articulate a political vision and

who can answer the question of what sort of nation do we want to be?

Instead we get politicians who are concerned or seemingly only with the

next five year election cycle, so I think we need to do better on

leadership. That's a very, very good point. I think one of the things we

need to do more is set out why we want a good deal. The prospect of

opportunity that's there and paint reasons for actually negotiating

that good deal and being positive and I think that's one thing perhaps

we take away as Conservatives from the general election is that we

didn't perhaps talk enough about sunnier uplands, the positive

reasons for voting and what sort of country we want to live in and there

is a lot to be said. David? I don't know, I just get the feeling that

Brexit and the recent elections has really exposed politicians to the

public about, you know, this is all just grabbing power, you know look

at the DUP and people doing deals with each other and it's very dirty.

A lot of the time I feel that politicians, I did a lot of

campaigning over the years and a lot of time I find that it's difficult

to get politicians support for certain things that we know we need

to happen in society and I think they need to be working together

across parties, especially when it comes to Brexit because both parties

are not really obviously... That's going to have to happen now. There

is no alternative. Theresa May's destructive hard Brexit is dead.

It's over. Everything has changed. We have got to work across party and

that's what the public are asking us to do by delivering this election

result. I agree and we have ant opportunity to have a much more open

approach to Brexit and I was disappointed in what Iain Duncan

Smith said because he seemed to take the opposite approach which was the

argument is closed. Well, I would argue that the actual election

result shows that the argument is not closed. That people rejected

Theresa May's very hard Brexit approach and they want a more open

approach with as Ben says other ideas coming in, talk across the

parties. Gather support from a much broader approach. In Parliamentary

practicalities there will have to be Parliamentary consensus because

things will get voted down and no progress will be made? Yes, there

are discussions going on about how we can rescue our country from this

disastrous destructive Brexit which Theresa May set her mind on for no

apparent reason. She interpreted the referendum in a particular way which

the public rejected. Having been a Remainor herself. Taking it slightly

back from Brexit because we could actually be talking Brexit the whole

of this time. I said I wanted politicians to recognise that it was

a privilege and my comment actually came, it wasn't what I was going to

say originally, it came from an interview with the chair of the

backbench 1922 committee last night on the news where he said and I'm

not quoting verbatim, but he said something on the lines of there are

lessons to be learnt the soundbite that has more bite than vibe, one of

the things we're going to have to think about is why so many people,

some of them must be intelligent, voted Labour!

And I just, you know, my hands just went like this. You found that

rather patronising. I found that patronising and I found that rude.

People, however much integrity you have, you've got to watch your

tongues and what you say because we pay your wages.

If you could deliver a demand to politicians going back to work

today, what do you want from them? I want to feel as the viewer doing the

job you are supposed to be doing, representing me, representing my

neighbours, and all my friends and all my family and all the people I

am ever going to know, you are representing us, so I have to have

some affinity with you, and even if we do come from different

backgrounds, I have to feel confident that you are representing

me - not... I don't want to feel as though you are from a completely

different world, I don't get what you are saying, I don't understand

what you're saying, how does that affect me, literally, that is what

we want to know. The UK referendum is a classic example of the MPs

ignoring the population. How do you work that out? Because they try to

turn it into a political battle, when in fact it was a vote by the

population to decide how they wanted the country to go forward in the

future. And what we should be doing now, because the Europeans are our

friends, what we should be doing now is forming a commission comprised of

both parties, all parties in Parliament, and members of the

public, so that they can all go together and negotiate with our

friends in Europe. OK. And that way we will see more honest and genuine.

One, John. Just briefly, part of the unfortunate thing of just watching

PMQs is that there is too much of a risk of seeing politics through the

prism of PMQs. What I would like to say is that there is much more

co-operation across the parties than is generally realised. For example,

I am chair of the all-party Parliamentary group on cancer, which

brings politicians from across the political divide together,

questioning the Government of the day, whatever their colour. So there

is more co-operation than people realise. So why play those

particular roles during PMQs? Some of us do not shout... Plenty of your

colleagues do. Governments have to be brought to account, and you have

to ask difficult questions, and you get direct answers back. But the

bottom line is we should remember there is a lot of co-operation, and

there needs to be, and I think people are right in the sense that

when it comes to Brexit, we are going to have to carry people with

us on this issue. I have never understood what the difference was

the between hard and soft Brexit, it is a question of getting the best

possible deal, and there seems to be an enormous amount of conformity

between Labour on the Conservatives with regards to what we want from

the EU negotiations. OK. You do see the parties coming together. We are

not having the Brexit conversation again! So what are our top three or

top five? Put them in order, what do you reckon? Integrity, definitely.

So including honesty in that. Transparency, that sort of thing.

Passion with respect. Is that number two, is that as high up as it should

be? Theresa May sounded like a robot during her campaign... What else, as

well as integrity? What else is important? Empathy is a big one, the

ability to put yourself in another person's shoes, a boss will tell

someone what to do, a leader will show them. MPs need to be leading in

compassion, forgiveness, respect, in showing people those values. So how

shall we describe that, affinity, empathy? Yeah? Well, I am really

interested that is number two, that says a lot, particularly perhaps

because of recent weeks. What else are we going for? Clarity. You

asking a lot of there, Sharon! Clarity? You mean you don't

understand the phrase Brexit means Brexit? I don't understand a word

they say! If someone asks me a question, I want the answer, not the

same mantra over and over again? Of clarity and directness when they go

to press conferences, they know what they are going to say, regardless of

the question. We have two experienced politicians and two new

politicians, why is it so hard to answer questions directly? If I and

so directly, it means a damning headline, is that what is going on?

-- if I answer directly. I try to answer directly, I am sure

colleagues here do as well, and there is a danger you generalise

across all MPs. You have made that point. We decide to do this job as

best we can. I have a reputation for speaking my mind, but there is a

difference between being in government and in opposition, I am

much more free as an opposition backbencher to say whatever I like!

Isn't that the problem with party politics? You have to toe the party

line, I would love to be in politics, but I could not do that.

It is like being in a club, if you come to an agreement in the

organisation, you stick to it. If you are going to have a united

organisational club, you have to stick to the line. There are ways of

answering questions which sounded less evasive than some ministers do

it, and you can think of your most and least favourite politicians for

and swing questions, but there is a different with collective

responsibility and having that freedom. So clarity and directness?

Directness and clarity? Any preference? No? Excuse my writing.

Clarity and directness... Right, is that it? No, I think four has to be

humility, I would put it much higher up. OK, humility. There is such a

peeling of we are up here, you are down there, and as you said in your

intro, we pay your wages, you are only there because we put an X in

the box, so recognised us. Yeah? Are we happy with our top four? What is

wrong with passengers I love a bit of passion, believe me! Make its

number five! OK, passion! OK... Passion. Sorry! Right, MPs, your

reaction? I 100% agree with that, I think humility, the area eyelid in I

represent, someone I get the train in the morning, people speak to me.

-- the area I live in, I represent. So to be accountable, you have to

respect other people, they put their trust in me, I have to respect that.

Christian, what about you as a new MP? Formerly a special adviser, you

have been around a bit. I don't mean that in the way... You know what I

mean, you are experienced! I think those points are all be enough, and

one of the problem is that politicians have is that somehow

they have managed as a group, not individuals, to portray this image

to the public that we don't have personal lives, we don't have

families, that we don't actually worry about paying the mortgage

ourselves. And I think we need to be more open about the fact that we

have lives you are normal people, Shaka! Shark horror! I had personal

issues during the campaign, a bereavement, and we got a lot of

support. People see you in PMQs, arguing and fighting, and forget

that we colleagues and we'll have the same problems. That happened

with Jo Cox, to see the whole House come together, they realised she was

a really good MP. And beyond that, as the people we represent, I think

we are very bad at being open and speaking clearly and honestly about

our lives. All right. Are you two happy to sign up to this list? I am

sure you already exhibit some of those characteristics! I think, for

me, absolutely. One that is missing if I can dare give advice to our new

colleagues who have won marginal seats from another party, very hard

work - you need to put the hard work in. I agree with all of those,

integrity, empathy is very important, we always have to design

our policies as best we can to help those more vulnerable at the bottom

end of the pay scale and all the rest of it, and employed, one nation

politics, if you like, whichever side of the House. But humility is

very important. We have, number four. I'm just addressing the list,

because it is important that MPs, politics says, we are going to

listen, we might have got this wrong, we are going to think about

it again. That is carrying people along. I will make a deal with you,

Victoria, if we do more of that, the immediate needs to be more tolerant

when it comes to accusing us of not knowing where we are going. That is

there point, but there are U-turns and there are U-turns! -- a fair

point. But you are generalising across the media, as we have been

generalising, so right back at you! Very last word. It might sound odd

from a Liberal Democrat, but one of the things that had most impact on a

generation, helping the Labour Party, the night before he died,

John Smith talked about how the Labour Party were asking for the

opportunity to serve, and more politicians need to take that sort

of approach. It is, as Carol said, about service. Excellent point, I am

defending colleagues here - the vast majority, we must member, go for the

right reason, and they believe in public service. What message would

you give to those who are not following those values? You are

saying the right things but the reality is... There is no room for

you in politics, and by and large they do get found out on both sides

of the House. We are going to ask the MPs to sign up to your code of

conduct, if that is right, and if you come across colleagues today, if

you wouldn't mind mentioning it, it would be useful. Thank you very much

for coming on the programme, we appreciate it. We mentioned Jo Cox a

couple of times, one of those politicians that most people think

stuck by that code of conduct. On 16th June last year,

the Labour MP was murdered outside her constituency

in Birstall, Yorkshire. It was a crime that horrified

the country but united people In the days, weeks and months

that followed, Jo Cox's friends and family pledged

to continue her legacy, rather than let it be

overshadowed by what happened. In the run-up to the first

anniversary of her death, her sister Kim Leadbeater

and her family have invited our reporter Catherine Burns

to their home for the first time to share their private

memories of Jo. We'll never be fully repaired,

if you like, because there's always

a piece of us missing. I think there must be a difference

between denial and disbelief. And Jo's children have got so much

of her and Brendan in them. That's a great legacy,

I mean, we love that. When I have the darkest

and the difficult moments, I just think, right,

she would not want you to lose it. to the anger and to

the upset and to the hatred. Yes, this is the wonderful

town of Batley. She wanted to be at the heart

of the constituency, and this is where she decided

to base herself. there's still the Jo Cox MP

sign on the door. Yes, yes, it's hard

to know what to do Is it worse to have it there or

better to have it there, you know? I keep saying to myself,

if I get through to the end of July with my health

and my sanity, I've done well. And then I really don't

know what comes after that. because that normal life

doesn't exist, you know. Kim Leadbeater

has spent this year trying to build a legacy

for her sister, Jo Cox. I still miss the sound

of her coming down the drive. Her parents have

generally avoided the limelight, This is their first interview

on national TV. What were you doing

when you got that call? We'd just sat down

about five minutes, And he just said, "Jo's

been shot, I think." And we jumped in the car,

I remember I was jumping in the car, I don't know how

we managed to get there. People are shot and

recover, etc, etc. But you see these things

on the television where the doctor, in this

case it was a police inspector, comes into the room

and he has to tell you. In fact, he doesn't

have to tell you. You can see by his

expression. And he said, "I'm sorry to say

she didn't make it". I think that the difficult

thing, it's the That's very, very

difficult to understand. And it's about creating a new level

of normality for us as a family. One of the things that Kim

said afterwards was, "Our family is broken now

but we will mend over time". We will always be broken,

because there's a piece missing. But, yeah, I think to the outside

world we do appear strong. But there's a lot of days

when the bad is bad. The long times for us

are when we turn the television on and see terrorist acts -

Westminster Bridge, Manchester - because that's when it

brings everything back. For me, the ambulances,

the sirens, I'm back But we still think

about the people who have lost loved ones, and we know

what they are actually just It must be awful for them.

We know what we went through. And unfortunately

they don't, as yet. Going forward, build

on the children, the grandchildren. Because you're right,

it won't go away. And Jo's children have got so much

of her and Brendan in them. That's a great legacy

and we love that. Jo, she loved them to bits,

absolutely loved them. And that's the most

upsetting thing, from my It was, for you especially,

after Jo was murdered, Lejla and Cuillin came up, and you found it

really difficult, didn't you? Obviously this year you've

all been part of the But the public face of it

has really been Kim. How do you feel about

the work she's done? More than one person

came up to me after the funeral, and after Kim talked

in Birstall marketplace, and said, "You've got not one,

but two marvellous daughters. One we saw, Jo, on occasions,

on the television And, you know, we're very proud,

because I can't separate So this is not what you'd

expect your average But this was Jo, just

very relaxed, very comfortable, and just embracing

the situation she was in. That is absolutely

stunning, isn't it? Yeah, that's the birthday

karaoke with the Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson,

I Know Him So Well, which was our party piece

when we were kids. And it was re-enacted

for my birthday last year. # I could have made

it differently #. We were really close,

like all growing up throughout childhood

we were really, really close. There is two years age

difference between us, and I am younger, although nobody

believed it because Jo looked so We just had a really close

relationship, and we never fell out. # But in the end he needs a lit more

security. . # It wasn't about Jo Cox

MP, it was actually Joanne Leadbeater,

who was my sister. Literally sort of within days of Jo

been killed, things just started to arrive, and the house

was just full of flowers. And that was the classic,

line, I never met your sister, but I just had to do

something, I just had to say Me and mum and dad when we're out

and about and stuff, we go to the supermarket, and we've met

people, and they just end Maybe that has detracted

from my personal grief, But it has certainly provided

comfort and support. At the same time we saw that public

outpouring of grief, this was your personal

tragedy as well. How did you manage to

balance those two things? And, you know, people who knew Jo

through politics, people who And initially I found

that a bit, hang She's my mum and dad's Jo,

and she's Brendan's Jo, really. But then actually you

think how lovely it is that so many people

wanted her to be their Jo. So you can't possibly

be cross about that. Has it hit yet that

she isn't coming back? I know exactly

what happened. I've got those facts,

but I don't think I've got them on a deep emotional level yet, and that

worries me, because when that happens it's difficult

to know what will happen. I think there must be a difference

between denial and disbelief. I've got closer than

ever to mum and dad. Which again is heartbreaking

at times, when you think, you know, I'm

their only child now. And I have guilt associated

with that as well, because when the phone rings and it

would always be, "oh, it's Like that's, you know,

that's gone forever now. It was supposed

by Jo's birthday less Her husband, Brendan,

spoke in London's We try to remember not how

cruelly she has been taken from us, but how unbelievably

lucky we were to have her And let me start by saying

thank you to everybody My sister would want her murder

to mobilise people, To try to make

a positive difference. And that's exactly what Kim

has spent the last 12 months doing, trying to create

something positive from Jo's death. She's worked on causes close

to her heart, everything from tackling loneliness to getting

communities to But in many ways, she's

put her own life on hold. So this is where you

had your big speech? Yes, the big tribute to Jo.

The big tribute on the 22nd of June. Because I'm a very private person,

what I tend to be able to seem to do is just go into this mode

of having a job to do and then doing it, and then the fallout

for me is often when I get home. So I end up really

drained, really tired, and that's when I tend

to get more upset. You've spoken a lot today

about sort of Jo's legacy, but there's also your life -

you, Kim, and what's next for you. I don't know what I'll do,

I don't what I'll do. But I think, you know,

the platform that we've been given, for the worst possible reasons,

my instinct is to try and create something positive

out of that by using it in a good way, but I've no idea

what shape that takes. We'll be talking to Jo

Cox's husband, Brendan, And Kim, Jo's sister. These messages

from you. Scott says, "This is a heartbreaking interview with Jo

Cox's parents." Kirsty says, "I'm crying over Jo Cox's incredible

parents." Kevin Cook tweets to say, "I'm 52 years of age today and I've

done a run in memory of Jo Cox and sponsored an AFC Croydon football

game in her memory." On our manifesto or code of conduct,

whatever you'd like to call the rules that voters came up for

politicians as they return to the House of Commons today after the

general election, Mel says, "Integrity, honesty, humility. Your

panel is spot on today. This is what we want from our politicians."

The singer Katy Perry has apologised for "appropriating black and Asian

In a recent interview, the singer admitted that she is guilty

of cultural appropriation and benefits from what she

She's been speaking to promote her latest album, witness .

I've made several mistakes and having a hard conversation with one

of my empowered angels about what does it mean? Can can't I wear my

hair that way? What is the history behind wearing the hair that way?

And she told me about the power in plaque women's hair and how

beautiful it is and the struggle. And I listened and I heard and I

didn't know and I will never understand some of those things

because of who I am. I will never understand.

BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat's music reporter Stve

Just fill us in a little bit more about what she has been criticised

for and why in the past? Katie Perry is a loud pop star. She is full of

colour and costumes and that's what has got her into trouble in the

past. Two specific occasions. A couple of years ago she sang a song

called Unconditionally and she was accused of racism. Secondly, she did

a music video called This Is How We Do. She was wearing corn rows and

eating watermelon and criticised for appropriating black culture and both

times she was criticised and she never really apologised and just

said, "I didn't know what I was doing. I'm just a pop star. I I'm

just loud." That's how she dealt with any criticism? So the last four

days she spent her time in an apartment in America to promote this

new album and she has been addressing lots of issues that she

has been crit sided for in the past. This cultural appropriation issue is

one specifically because in the past she said, "I didn't know I was doing

anything wrong. It was up to my friends to tell me this is why you

shouldn't be wearing corn rows because you're using black culture

for your own gain." There are other issues that she has been dealing

with. The feud with Taylor Swift which is the stuff of entertainment

journalists, we love it. Sum it up in a line. Tell us why they have

been feuding. Taylor Swift, Katie Perry took a couple of Taylor Swift

dancers. Took them? From a tour. They were on tour and Katie Perry

took them in the middle of Taylor Swift's tourment it is probably what

teenage girls fight about and since then they have not spoken o an

Friday Katie Perry released her new album and Taylor Swift had taken all

of her music off Spotify and decided Taylor Swift that Friday was the

best day to put her music on Spotify thereby taking the wind out of Katie

Perry's sails and Katie Perry tried to Bury the hatchet with Taylor

Swift and said we are both strong women in the music industry and she

is a great songwriter, it feels clinical and cold. A bit like

promoting your new album? Well, exactly. She spent four days talking

about something that's getting her headlines. It is nice to her address

it. Because in the past she almost stuck her head in the sand with it

and finally she hit it head-on. Thank you very much, Steve. Steve,

Holden. We have got sunshine. If you're

living in the eastern and southern areas, you have got blue skies. That

was the scene in Norfolk. For many of us, it is grey skies and a dreary

start to the day in Shropshire. More rain towards Northern Ireland and

into Scotland. The best of the sunshine is across eastern and

southern parts of England and that's where temperatures will get up to 22

or 23 Celsius, but even further north, 17 Celsius to 19 Celsius. A

bit more rain will come into Northern Ireland and Scotland

overnight, but elsewhere, it will be dry. There could be one or two

patches of fog developing in the far southment but for Wednesday, it's

going to get warmer for most of us. There will be some rain across

Northern Ireland into Scotland as well. But for most of us, hazy

sunshine, maximum temperatures 27 Celsius perhaps in the South East.

Even in the far north and west despite the cloudier skies and rain,

still here temperatures rather pleasant at 17 or 18 Celsius.

We will take a look at their anti-abortion stance and speak to

we've been hearing from members of the public

confident you are representing me. You have got to watch what you say,

because we pay your wages. This is the code of conduct that you have

drawn up, integrity, honesty, empathy, clarity and directness,

humility passion! We will be asking all MPs to sign up to it.

Also on the programme, almost a year since Labour MP

Jo Cox was murdered her family speak about

the hole that she's left, and the community reaction

That was the classic line, I never met your sister, but I had to do

something. My mum and dad, they have met people, they just end up crying,

grown men absolutely devastated, and you end up comforting them. Maybe

that has attracted from my personal grief, which will come eventually.

That is Jo's sister Kim, we will talk to her and Jo's husband before

with a summary of today's news. Theresa May will meet with the DUP

leader, Arlene Foster, today to thrash out a deal that

would see the party prop up With Brexit talks due to begin

in less than a week, the EU's chief negotiator,

Michel Barnier, has said Britain must not

waste time. He's also urged the Government

to appoint a negotiating team that is stable,

accountable and with a mandate. The new Environment Secretary,

Michael Gove, said he wasn't worried

about the timetable. We have to make sure we have the

right team in place, a Queen's Speech that outlines our sense of

direction, and whether a day here there, that doesn't matter to me.

What matters is making sure we have the right approach, and the Prime

Minister has outlined the right approach. We need to make sure that

we arrive at these talks in very good order, and one of the ways we

can do so is by having the maximum amount of support for the strategy

Theresa May has outlined, which is the right approach.

incredibly moving film with the family of Jo Cox. Chuck tweets you

can see where Jo Cox got her decency, humanity and integrity

from, what an amazing family. This e-mail from Bill, how brave of the

family to speak, it has brought me to tears, and my beloved wife passed

away 14 years ago, you never forget. And this tweet from Toby, a truly

moving feature on Jo Cox, I think it should permanently be posted on

I was at the match at Wembley and, you know, a very special occasion,

and we are very grateful to the French for offering this tribute to

England as a country, so it is nice that the history between us doesn't

come between us at those moments. And England's World Cup winners,

the under-20s team, arrived back in Britain

late last night. They flew into Birmingham

from South Korea, where they lifted their country's first trophy

at a world tournament since 1966. England, as a nation of footballers,

young players, is changing, so I think, like you say, it is a big

thing to have won the tournament, and it shows we are pushing on and

chasing to get to the top. For me personally, to save a penalty in a

World Cup final, it is what you dream about as a kid. But for the

team, and for what we have achieved, for the country, it is amazing. I

hope that these players, they take this experience and really go on and

benefit themselves and benefit our senior team in years to come, and

fingers crossed that will be the case.

And you will be able to hear our interview with David Weir on the BBC

News Channel throughout the day, but that is all the sport for now. Back

to you, Victoria. Good morning! "I got us into this mess

and I'll get us out of it." Theresa May's words to her own

MPs yesterday, reportedly showing some of the humility

they'd wanted from her. Journalists weren't invited

to the meeting. But several MPs have reported

the following as taking place. The Prime Minister told her Tory MPs

she'll remain leader She pledged that the party

would help colleagues who lost their seats, some of whom

are in financial difficulties, and when talking about concerns

that government policy could be affected

by the DUP's views on gay rights, she reportedly said,

"LGB...what's the rest of it?" lesbian, gay, bisexual

and transgender. the PM needs to to a deal

with to stay on in government. Let's talk now to two MPs

who were at the meeting, Oliver Letwin, who's the

Conservative MP for West Dorset, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, the

Conservative MP for the Cotswolds, and an executive member

of the 1922 Committee, which is the group of Conservative

MPs Theresa May may with yesterday, and in a moment, we'll speak

to Lord Andrew Turnbull, who was a top civil servant under

three different Prime Ministers Welcome, all of you, thank you very

much for talking to us. Oliver Letwin, how many times did Theresa

May apologise to you for throwing away the Conservative majority in

that election? Not many! How many? Once, twice? I genuinely have no

idea! The meeting was not about that. The meeting was about a pretty

unanimous view across the whole room of support for what she was doing,

and for the need to carry on, and I thought what was really remarkable

was the degree of unanimity. How many times did she apologise? I

don't think... I can't honestly remember, but as Oliver said, that

is not really the issue. But did she apologise? I am just interested. She

apologise to colleagues who lost their seats, she was humble about

that. But as Oliver says, there was a remarkable degree of unanimity

around the room, as do supporting her. Sure. Issue going to apologise

to voters for calling an election that she did not need to that has

cost ?130 million? Well, she felt that she needed her own mandate to

negotiate these Brexit talks. That was a view at the time. With

hindsight, she might have taken a different view. But we are where we

are, and we have to go on governing the country with the Parliamentary

arithmetic that we have. Oliver Letwin, your Conservative colleague

Heidi Elin said she saw a very humble woman in Mrs May. Do you

think the rest of the country is going to see her humble side at some

point? I would not describe her as humble, as you said, she apologised,

she let us in on the feelings that she had about what had happened, but

I don't think it is a question of humble or otherwise. I think it is a

question of her ability at a time when our country faces significant

challenges to manage the economy soundly and come of all of this in a

good condition. That is what matters to our fellow citizens, not the

political bits and bobs, what happens to the country. I think what

cheap is weighed and all of us of is that she is capable of doing that,

and that is where we need to be. -- I think what she persuaded all of us

of. So she has two years to see through the negotiations, then she

hands over to whoever head of the next general election? It depends on

a number of factors, how the relationship with the DUP works out,

and I think it depends on the Conservative Party itself. If the

Conservative Party itself starts going to war with one another, then

the period will be shorter rather than longer. But what you can say is

that she's not going to fight the next general election as leader of

the Conservative Party? Well, we don't know that yet. I think it is

far too soon to say that. You think she could? With that majority? She

could, it depends how the thing works out. If the Brexit negotiation

went incredibly well and she was crowned as having done an incredibly

good deal, I think you might find that the holes and tuition would

change. I entirely agree about that, Victoria, you will recognise the

slogan that a week is a long time in politics. Two years, 104 weeks, is a

very long time in politics, and none of us have the slightest idea what

will happen. The important thing is to focus on those years, getting to

a successful conclusion on Brexit, and then the whole nation will be in

a different position. Do you agree with your colleague that she could

be in charge for less than two years, depending on what happens?

Prime Ministers are in charge on the basis of delivering for the country,

I am confident she will deliver, and I'm confident she will be in charge

throughout that period, and I think it is altogether likely she will

fight the next election as well. But we take that step-by-step, we have

to lock in the DUP, deliver on Brexit and the economy, regain the

confidence of electors, many of whom voted for us, many of whom did not,

and that is what politics is about. Lord Turnbull, formerly a top civil

servant and three Prime Ministers, you have called for Theresa May to

stand aside - that would not help Britain's Brexit negotiations. Well,

I don't think this coalition can last five years. You haven't even

given it a day! I did not say how soon, there is a difference between

when she goes and makes it clear that she is going to go, the Ed

Miliband time table - I think we will find that this coalition needs

to be settled in, get past the Queen's Speech to demonstrate that

it can win votes, and then people will look at what it can achieve.

Its problem is that it will be, apart from the Brexit negotiators, a

near do nothing parliament. It has no strength to take any of the

measures that it wants to take, and that will be incredibly frustrating.

I don't think she can be the person who fights the next election. The

precedents, we have had three elections which were inconclusive,

1951, 1964 and 1974, and then another election shortly thereafter.

In each case, the election thereafter was won by the side that

had the momentum. Although Labour didn't get more

seats they definitely had the momentum. So that's the danger. Do

the Conservatives want to fight that election with someone who was a very

poor cam pamer and handled it so badly or do they want someone new?

If they want someone new they have got to get that person in, in time

for them to settle in, establish some record and when you start

working you find this change needs to be made before two years. There

is another precedent here which is in 2010 when as you know I was arbli

involved in negotiating an agreement with the Liberal Democrats, but lots

of other people told me and people reported in the press that this

couldn't possibly last. It lasted the whole course of the Parliament.

That Government achieved a great deal and David Cameron went on to

win a general election with an outright majority thereafter. So

there are conflicting precedents here and actually, I don't think

that the Conservative Party or those who are commenting on these matters

should be focussing on the question of election victory or otherwise in

2022. This nation faces an obsolutely critical juncture in its

whole history and who we should be focussing on is getting through that

and doing the next two years successfully for all of us and that,

I think, that came out of the meeting of the 1922 the Conservative

Party in Parliament, wherever else, is focussed on delivering a good

Brexit outcome and a sound economy as the background to that in the

nation's interests and that's what we should be doing. What you're

papering over Oliver is the massive division in view within the

Conservative Party. This is where the biggest fault line of politics

is. Do they want a hard Brexit which prioritises control over the

movement of people or do they want a Brexit which prioritises trade?

Until you've settled that, I don't see how you can get to a successful

budget negotiation. Whilst you're here briefly, voters have been

drawing up on our programme today a code of conduct for MPs as MPs go

back to Westminster after the election. The voters have suggested

these five points on how they'd like MPs to behave. Number one,

integrity, number two, empathy, number three, clarity and directness

and four humility, number five passion. Is there any you would

disagree. You raised your eyebrows at passion, Jeffrey Clifton-Brown? A

politician always has got to have passion and the two really important

things is next week we start the complicated Brexit negotiations. The

most important event of this country since the Second World War and the

Conservative Party will unite around Theresa May because the alternative

of Jeremy Corbyn is much worse to every Conservative member of

Parliament and that's why they'll unite. Thank you all. Thank you very

much. Thank you for coming on the programme.

Joims Brokenshire says he's confident a deal between the

Conservatives and the DUP will be reached today. He has been speaking

to the BBC in the past half an hour. I'm sure that will be a matter of

discussion for them and I'm sure we will have more details during the

course of the day, but the thing to stress is that the work that I do as

Secretary of State for Northern Ireland is separate. That we are

very clear on the work that I was doing yesterday afternoon and

devolved Government back and that is something that as a Government we

hold fast to on ensuring that our duties to serve Northern Ireland

well, to adhere to our responsibilities under the Belfast

Agreement, absolutely is at the core of what we are as a Government, and

will certainly guide our actions into the future.

INAUDIBLE Well,ual' confident. I think the

discussions thus far have been positive, but the leader of the DUP

is seeing the Prime Minister later today for further discussions around

the agreement. We want to see conclusions so that we can get on

with acting in the best interests of our country and actually getting on

with the job. James Brokenshire.

Theresa May has failed to protect survivors

of historical child sex abuse, that's according to another group

which this morning is exclusively announcing on this programme that

it's quitting the Government's independent inquiry.

The independent inquiry into child sexual abuse

in England and Wales was set-up by Theresa May during her

It aimed to investigate claims of sexual abuse

against local authorities, religious organisations,

the Armed Forces and public and private institutions

and to "expose failures and learn the lessons" from the past.

But it has been dogged by controversy

with many key victims groups quitting saying they've lost faith

in it and accusing the inquiry of not being truly independent.

Now, another group which represents more than 100 survivors,

has told this programme that they share the same concerns.

Let's talk now to Phil Frampton from the Survivors of Organised

and Institutional Abuse, part of the White Flowers Campaign.

They have withdrawn from the inquiry. Thank you for talking to

us. Good morning, Victoria. Tell us why you're withdrawing? For three

years, White Flowers and thousands of survivors have fought for justice

on this inquiry and we just don't believe anymore that it's aim is to

deliver justice. It's aim is to be investigative, it looks more like a

report writing exercise now, but when it was set-up, we stood by this

inquiry for three years. We've been critical, but we pointed out at the

beginning that it was riddled with conflicts of interest and when

you've got conflicts of interest and you're looking at one of the darkest

episodes in British history then, people with conflicts of interest

will never shine the torch into the dark corners because they're too

frightened that they will find themselves or their friends there

and that's really what we found. First of all, the Home Office were

put in charge. Prior to 1970, the Home Office had responsibility for

all of London's children's homes plus the hundreds of children's

homes, approved schools and so forth across the country and yet initially

they were actually kept out of the abuse before 1970, was kept out. The

Home Office is also responsible for the police. It's one of the failing

institutions in relation to child abuse so far as many survivors are

concerned yet they are at the heart of the inquiry. Their secondments

are running the inquiry now. It beggars belief and at the same time,

they have put as the Shirley Oaks survivors pointed out, they put an

executive social worker in charge of the inquiry, they may have good

interests, but also conflicts of interests there in the sense that

they are the people who again, many of those social workers, who

survivors believe failed them. So you simply don't trust it hence your

withdrawal but then how do you find out, how do you get to the bottom of

alleged historical abuse in all these institutions? This inquiry is

not to get to the bottom of that alleged abuse. That's the issue. We

don't feel it's, that its job. It's almost like a paper exercise now,

studying reports. So what do you want then? Well, what we want is a

truly investigative inquiry. What we needed was a truly investigative

inquiry. So are you saying scrap this and start again? No, it can be,

it's up to the inquiry to decide, but there are other ways of doing it

rather than using this inquiry. This inquiry, many survivors still have

some hope in and I, you know, I feel for them really, but it's a question

of the inquiry could change itself overnight, if Theresa May wanted,

but sadly, I think Theresa May's shown she is more interested in her

own personal appearance than she is in how in substance, in real

substance. Theresa May said this inquiry would have, that survivors

would be at the heart of this inquiry and the truth is survivors

are on the very margins of this inquiry. Our representatives went to

a seminar, an official seminar of the inquiry and we're told to sit at

the back and to keep quiet and handed post-it notes and told if we

want to ask a question then we should write them on there and let

Professor Jay answer if she has got time. How is that survivors being at

the heart of an inquiry? We obviously asked the independent

inquiry into child sexual abuse They said no, but in a statement

told us, "Whilst we regret the decision by Survivors

of Organised Institutional Abuse to withdraw from the inquiry,

we acknowledge their decision and would like to reassure

all victims and survivors that the important work

of the inquiry including the accountability and reparations

investigation that SOIA The inquiry would welcome them back

should they decide they wish Can I just say a lot of survivors,

thousands of survivors have put huge emotional capital into this inquiry

over the last three years. The core participants may have to wait three

or four years time. Not being able to move on unless they can get

support from the inquiry, but the inquiry has said this they will not

give that support until those cases go to, are considered and therefore,

it could be four years more. Survivors are dropping out of the

inquiry at the moment because they can't afford to leave their lives

and their emotions on hold. That, for me, is callous and cruel. It's

callous, cruel and incompetent if you're running a serious inquiry

over such psychological issues. OK, thank you very much, Phil. Thank

you, Phil Frampton from the survivors of organised and

institutional abuse. The sister

Friday marks the first anniversary of the death of Labour MP Jo Cox,

who was killed in Birstall, outside her constituency surgery.

Her senseless killing sent shockwaves

around the world but united the country in grief.

A year on, and her family are determined to continue her legacy.

This weekend, on the first anniversary of her death,

they're encouraging people to join together with neighbours,

friends and their local community at events in her memory.

In a moment, we'll speak to Jo's husband Brendan

and her sister, Kim Leadbeater, but first let's hear Jo's parents

remembering the moment they learnt she'd died.

We'd just sat down about five minutes,

And he just said, Jo's been shot, I think.

And we jumped in the car, I remember I was jumping in the car,

I don't know how we managed to get there.

People are shot and recover, et cetera, et cetera.

So we didn't know at that time. I think we knew.

I think I did. I didn't know.

But you see these things on the television where the doctor,

in this case it was a police inspector,

comes into the room and he has to tell you.

In fact, he doesn't have to tell you.

You can see by his expression.

And he said, "I'm sorry to say she didn't make it."

because there's a piece missing.

The low times for us are when we turn the television

on and see terrorist acts - Westminster Bridge, Manchester -

because that's when it brings everything back.

For me, the ambulances, the sirens,

But we also think about the people who have lost loved ones,

and we know what they are actually just going through.

And unfortunately they don't, as yet.

Going forward, build on the children, the grandchildren.

Because you're right, it won't go away.

# Looking back, I could have played differently... #

More than one person came up to me after the funeral,

and after Kim talked in Birstall marketplace,

and said, "You've got not one but two marvellous daughters."

on the television et cetera, making speeches."

because I can't separate the two and never would.

Talking to us now are Kim Ledbeater and Brendan Cox, Jo's husband.

Kim, Jo's sister. Hello. Hi. How are you? I found it very hard to watch

that film. Kim, how are you? OK, I think we are tired, extremely busy,

but we at to demand that we will get through the next couple of weeks, as

Jo would want us two. Not to say it will not be very difficult at times,

but we will get there. You talk in the book, Brendan, you talk about

the Jo that you knew. I want you both to tell our audience what she

was like, because they will not know that much about. Yeah, you can see

it in some of that footage, huge energy and enthusiasm, zest for

life. She threw herself everything from campaigning to being a mum, to

being part of our community, and she just, yeah, as well as that energy,

she had an empathy, I know it is on the board! But I talked about it

before, and just that sends of ability to feel how people are

feeling and empathise with people, whether you were an older person who

hadn't seen anybody for a week, who lived in her constituency, or a

family from Syria fleeing the conflict there, that supreme ability

to empathise and that energy which, for me, which summarises her. Jo was

an extremely positive person, she had values that, you know, we can

probably all learn from, but if you see my parents speaking, we are glad

to have full people. We are not going to be beaten, we always trying

to find the positive and good in things. Jo saw the good in

everything and everyone, and you will struggle to find anyone who did

not like it. You might disagree and debate, fine, but I don't think I've

ever met anybody who didn't like. And she was also very annoying! She

was not perfect! Everyone is a bit annoying at some point. She was late

for everything, forget everybody's birthdays! Unbelievably forgetful.

When Jo and I were getting engaged, one of the stories I tell in the

book, we went on a cycling holiday, and she forgot her bike. A cycling

holiday, how do you forget your bike?! So incredibly annoying, but

looking back now, those things are, you know, what made her her. She

wasn't a saint, she wasn't perfect, but she was somebody, as we have

said, that had this positivity, empathy, a zest for life. Even when

she was forgetting her bike, that shone through. Let me read you a

couple of messages, so many of these, these are representative of

all of them. Kim says, my heartfelt love to Brendan, Kim and all Jo's

family, such a heartbreaking loss, what a beautiful legacy Jo left, her

passing is not in vain, I have ordered your book, big love to you

all. Sophia says, Jo Cox was an inspiration in life and in death,

thank you, Jo, despite the dark, horrid early days, your mission

lives on, thank you for giving us hope. I don't know if you take

comfort in kind words from strangers, do you? Absolutely, it is

one of the things that has got us through. For me and mum and dad, the

support that has been shown, not just from people we know, but total

strangers across the country and across the world, because even if

you didn't know Jo, you could see what she stood for, so you might not

miss on a personal level in the way we do, but you will see what a loss

it is, someone who had those values, so that support has been, yeah,

phenomenal. And for often when you go through a loss, you feel very

isolated, because everyone else's lives take on as normal. And with

this, they could see that other people were feeling the pain that

they were feeling, not the same size or scale intensity, but I remember,

on the way to the funeral, in the car, Cuillin turned to me, thousands

of people and, throwing flowers, and Cuillin said I know that people love

money, but I didn't know this many people did. -- loved Mummy. So that

compassion, and it is more important, because you can imagine,

if this happens at such a formative stage of your life, your view of

life and our country could end up being very dark, but they don't have

that at all, because of that compassion and kindness, they are

only inform six, but they have a very optimistic and enthusiastic

view of life. That is testament to you, isn't it? Brendan has been

amazing, his priority has been the children since then, the way that

they are coping, not just coping, thriving, that is down to how he has

done his job. Not just me, Jo and I often talked about how the first

three years were critical for kids in terms of the way their brains

develop, the way they get their sense of cells, so they have a hell

of a lot of Jo in them, and the thing that has got me through is the

family, incredibly close family, both on Jo's side and the mine, and

then the community. And that is, for us, such a big part of Jo's

politics, she wasn't an ideological politician who got her politics from

textbooks. She got her politics particularly from her home life in

Batley, from her grandad, who was a postman in Batley, and the sense

that she got from him of how important it was to know your

neighbours, and how much she valued that. So that became a big part of

her life and her politics, but now, this morning, I had to get up early

to do an interview, and very kindly the neighbours through the tips...

They put them on the boat! They are as happy as Larry, and that is

hugely valuable. You both mentioned community, but there is the global

community, you have had contact from people all over the world, including

President Obama. Yeah! And Gordon Brown, who she used to work for,

saying, is it all right if President Obama gives you a call? I was

speaking to Gordon, and he said, yeah, is it OK if he gets in touch,

and I thought he might send a card or something, which I thought was

incredible. And my phone rang and it was the weirdest, like out of a bad

American film, when they say, can we transfer you to Air Force One?

Really? I thought it was maybe taking the make. But it would have

been a strange time to do it. He invited us to go over and see him,

which was an incredible experience, and amazing for the kids, even

though they were then three and five. They got a hell of a lot from

it, and Cuillin is obsessed with history, I'd tell you about the

Second World War, which I don't know and have about! I had been telling

him about the history of America, what little I know about it, and the

first thing he said when he got into the room was, I thought the British

burned the White House down, the most embarrassing thing you could

possibly say! The president said it was much better now that they had

rebuilt it. So he was thankful! Tim, you can't bring Jo back, what can

you do? I think, for me, accepting that we cannot change what has

happened. Whilst it is buried, that is the only way to move forward so

three things I want to do. That whilst it is very difficult. I want

to scoop the kids up in love, make sure they know how amazing the mum

was, how much she loved them, that is the top priority. Second thing

is, remember how lucky we were to have Jo, and I was so lucky, we were

friends first and foremost, and we will always have those memories. The

third thing is to create some kind of legacy, which Brendan is doing
