It's Monday, it's 9am, I'm Victoria Derbyshire -

It's a matter of time before a serving prison officer

is killed on duty - that's the warning

from officers working in the Britain's jails right now.

They've risked their jobs to speak anonymously to us.

It's only a matter of time before something massive goes off.

It will get to the stage where a prison

The high court is to hear new evidence about Charlie Gard,

the terminally-ill baby whose parents have taken on Great Ormond

Street Hospital in an effort to secure experimental treatment

Judges will examine claims that the proposed treatment

One year on from moving into Number 10, the Prime Minister is attempting

to regain political momentum by appealing to other parties

We will be talking to Damian Green - the First Secretary of State,

who is effectively her second-in-command.

Hello, welcome to the programme - we're live until 11am this morning.

Also, does the accent you have mean people think you are thick?

This after Angela Rayner, the Shadow Education Secretary,

was called thick after being on the Andrew Marr Show yesterday.

Let me know what perceptions people have of you because of

If you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate.

The case of the terminally ill 11-month-old boy, Charlie Gard,

returns to the High Court today, as judges consider new evidence

relating to potential treatment for his condition.

An earlier ruling supported the view of his doctors that nothing can be

done to improve his quality of life, and they should be allowed to switch

"He's still fighting, so we're still fighting."

A phrase that Chris and Connie Gard have used many times as they battle

to keep their baby son Charlie alive.

We are just two normal, everyday people.

What is strong is the love we have for our boy.

If he was lying there suffering, we wouldn't be here now.

It's a story with another twist today.

The High Court will look once more at whether or not the 11-month-old

who was born with a serious genetic condition that doctors say

mean he will never see, hear, move or speak,

should be allowed to go to America for experimental treatment.

So far, the courts have agreed with Great Ormond Street

condition cannot be improved and he should instead

But support has grown for the family from all over the world,

including from President Trump and the Pope.

And a glimmer of hope when seven specialists

led by the Vatican Children's Hospital signed a letter saying that

treatment should be reconsidered following success in conditions

Chris and Connie handed a petition in to Great Ormond Street

yesterday with over 350,000 signatures backing them.

But the hospital has made clear that its position has not changed.

It will be up to a judge to once again decide

It will be up to a judge to once again decide if that is true.

And we will hear from Charlie Gard's mum later in the programme.

The Iraqi prime minister has visited Mosul to congratulate his armed

forces on their victory over the Islamic State group,

nine months after they launched the offensive to liberate the city.

In the capital, Baghdad, people sang and danced on the streets.

Many areas of Mosul have been reduced to rubble in the fight,

Iraq is celebrating the defeat of so-called Islamic State in Mosul.

Homes, streets, shops reduced to ruins and dust.

It's thought thousands have been killed.

Some will have been part of IS, others were civilians.

Search and rescue teams continue to pull bodies from the rubble.

These families have survived three years under IS.

Now they're able to leave, following nearly 1 million people

who've already left their homes here.

It may be a while until they can return.

The fighting is ending, but the humanitarian crisis is not.

It will take months, maybe even years, for the people

who have fled from their homes, they have lost everything,

it will take months for them to go back to the damaged neighbourhoos.

The UN estimates it will cost at least ?770 million to restore

the city's basic infrastructure, such as clean water and electricity.

IS still hold territory to the west and south of Mosul,

Some experts have warned that if gains are not secured properly,

of a Scottish man fighting the UK's longest extradition case.

Phillip Harkins, who is originally from Greenock, has been fighting

extradition to the United States for 14 years.

If the case at the European Court of Human Rights goes against him,

he could face trial in America for first degree murder.

Counter-terror police have launched a film telling holiday-makers how

to react in the event of a terrorist attack in their resort.

It repeats the advice to run, hide and tell.

The mother of a British backpacker who was stabbed to death

in Australia last year has made an emotional

journey to the place where her daughter died.

Mia Ayliffe-Chung was killed at a hostel in Queensland.

Another British traveller, Tom Jackson, died trying to help her.

Mia's mother Rosie wanted to retrace her daughter's steps,

and learn more about the welfare of backpackers in Australia.

Our correspondent Hywel Griffith reports.

This isn't a journey any parent would want to make.

10,000 miles from home, Rosie Ayliffe has come to learn

20-year-old Mia was working in Queensland to gain a visa.

30-year-old Tom Jackson from Cheshire tried to help her.

A French national has been charged with their murders.

The hostel is still open and, without the cameras following her,

Rosie was allowed to enter and see Mia's room, and the place

And I sat in a cubicle and I thought about Mia dying in that room.

And she's gone, you know, and it's tough.

I knew it would be, but I'm so glad I came,

But this isn't only about commemoration.

Rosie wants to meet other backpackers, and learn exactly

what kind of a life her daughter had here.

Every year, 200,000 people come to Australia for a working holiday.

If they want to stay for a second year, then they have to come

Many, like Mia, come to Queensland, where the farmers use

the backpackers to pick their fruit and tend their fields.

An investigation by Australia's fair work ombudsman has found many

Two thirds say employers take advantage by underpaying them.

Some have their passports taken away.

Djuro, from Denmark, has just finished the 88 days

of rural work needed to gain a second-year visa.

It was almost like being in prison, rather than being in Australia.

Treatment will be so bad, you're being pushed to your very limit.

Now, we're speaking about people working in 40 degrees.

And to the amount of capacity that you're working,

one or two months, some people collapse, mentally.

The Australian Government says it recognises migrant workers

It has set up a task force, but while she is in the country,

Rosie is anxious to push for more change.

We are propping up their agricultural industry

People are making huge amounts of money out of our backpackers.

And it's got to stop, really, and, you know,

But I can feel a fight coming on, I really can.

It is one which may bring Rosie back to Australia several times,

to lobby and campaign, and to give Tom and Mia a legacy.

Your accent - do people think you are more or less intelligent because

of your accent? We ask because of the Shadow Education Secretary's

appearance on the Andrew Marr Show yesterday. Somebody treated her and

said she was thick. She responded and said, it's because of my accent.

I am proud of it. I am not going to change it. Stop it.

Let's get some sport now with Leah Boleto.

It is manic Monday at Wimbledon, Andy Murray Johanna Konta attempting

to give us a British man and woman in the quarterfinals since how long?

to the last time Britain had a man and woman in the quarter-finals.

But Andy Murray and Johanna Konta could make that a reality

After a day's rest there was a bit of training

But today, Murray is up against Frenchman Benoit Paire who -

by the way - hasn't made a grand slam quarter-final, ever!

Expectations are high for Murray but he is favourite

All the action on Centre Court at around 3 o'clock today.

But it's Johanna Konta who holds the first slot on Centre Court this

afternoon, taking on Caroline Garcia of France - that's at 1 o'clock.

They've both met four times before, each winning twice, with Garcia

beating Jo in their most recent clash in March.

But I'm sure crowds will try their hardest to inspire Jo.

And given that Britain hasn't had a female quarter-finalist

since 1984, we can expect quite a party this lunctime.

Right, cricket. What a few days for Joe Root and England cricketing in

this Test series. And he gets a victory in his first match as

England captain, which is fantastic. Yes, a huge win for England

under Joe Root and a lot The England Captain had

lots of praise for Ali, who gave a fantastic performance -

ripping through South Africa's Ali was man-of the-match

after their 200 and 11 run win. The side won't be changed

for Friday's Second Of course, this is England's first

of seven tests with Root in charge for the first time, so a big relief

for him that it started well. We know they will come back hard,

but to be 1-0 up, it is the first time we have beaten them for a long

time. Everything I have said to the lads this week, they have dived into

and gone about in a brilliant way and made my life a lot easier.

And of course, Victoria, the win came moments

a crucial three-run win against Australia in the World Cup.

The first time they've managed that in 24 years!

The win puts England in a strong position to qualify

for the semi-finals as they sit top of the points table.

We are going to Doctor Sally at 9:30am, she is live at Wimbledon, we

will be able to check their alarm systems if we are looking like we

have every morning! First this morning, we're

going to bring you rare interviews with serving prison officers

who are speaking out about the reality of life

inside British prisons. They're risking their jobs just

by speaking out on this programme. Prisons in Britain

are feeling the strain. Since 2010, the number of frontline

prison officers has fallen by some 7000 to 18,000 and budgets

have been cut severely. In recent months, jails have

experienced some of the worst rioting in decades as the decline

in standards has Back in December, riots

in Birmingham Prison left four Just yesterday, it was announced

that more than 200 kilos of drugs and 13,000 mobile

phones had been found Dan Clark Neal's a former

Metropolitan Police Officer - First of all it is tricky for

serving prison officers to speak out? It is, I have spoken to a dozen

in the last six months looking at the issue and we have only managed

to get three of them to talk to us on camera, which is a massive

achievement because it is rare for them to talk to us because they are

concerned they may lose their jobs. The Ministry of Justice really don't

like prison officers talking to the media. What kind of things were they

saying? We were looking at four main areas, highlighted from speaking to

three of them. We are looking at the issue of drugs, which we know was in

the news again yesterday, we are looking at the issue of violence,

and staffing and recruitment levels and stress. There are lots of issues

alongside those ones that we have highlighted, but

what is really interesting is the three prison officers that we have

spoken to, they are not speaking to us for their moment of glory, they

are talking because they want change, they want the prison service

to change for the better and they are hoping that Ministry of Justice

will sit up and take notice from what we have done with this film. As

you would expect, we have protected the identities of the officers who

have spoken exclusively to us. All the background footage you'll

see in this film is from the BBC archive and was not shot

in the prisons these He basically put excrement in a bag

and ran up behind me and shoved it in my face -

eyes, nose, mouth. When you join the Armed Forces

and you're fighting in the battlefield, anything can

happe - you can survive, you can get killed, you can

get seriously injured. It's only a matter of time before

something massive goes off. It will get to the stage

where a prison officer We've gained incredibly rare

access to prison officers. They want to speak out

about the shocking reality We've protected their identities

for their own safety. This is the life

of a prison officer - Drugs is a massive,

massive issue now compared When I first started this,

what's known as spice, you'd have sort of an incident

a week, maybe two. Just before I left, you'd have

three or four a day. You can have somebody who's

joking about one minute to fighting you in another,

to having a fit in another. You could have all three

of those in one episode. There's people within the prison,

sort of prison life, they've actually lost their lives

through this spice, regular, regular ambulances called to deal

with what they call a spice attack. Prisoners are specifically now

going out and doing a crime to be recalled because they can earn more

money coming in with drugs, They spoke openly about friends,

gang members, getting caught for petty crimes,

receiving sort of two-year sentences because they know when they get

in there there's quite There were talking about making

several thousand pounds a month just through selling

drugs in prison. Officers being assaulted, punched,

boiling water thrown in their faces. It was just happening

on a regular basis. Just before I left, we had

a member of staff who ended up with a broken nose,

potentional broken finger, I've been assaulted a couple

of times, and also been injured stopping fights, and I was nearly

taken hostage once. I've been on the end

of a bad experience. We attended a cell with

two prisoners in it. We were dealing with their issues

when they assaulted us. They used the leg of a metal chair

to assault myself and my colleagues, You don't know what or who was

connected to who or what, and you try to do your best at that

moment in time. I've done some internal damage

to my shoulder and required He basically put excrement in a bag

and he ran up behind me and shoved it in my face - eyes, nose,

mouth. It was the worst

feeling in the world. Like, we didn't know

their medical records, I didn't know whether he had HIV,

hepatitis, which is all carried So the next day I was in

the hospital having all the tests When you join the Armed Forces

and you're fighting on the battlefield, anything can

happen - you can survive, you can get killed, you can

get seriously injured. The assault rate against

officers has crept up. But over the last 4-5 years has

massively increased. So you're getting people

with broken bones, and mental In my opinion you've

seen nothing yet. It's literally, it's

going to boil over very soon. It's only a matter of time before

something massive goes off. And either a lot of prisoners

will get hurt, or a lot of prison It will get to the stage

where a prison officer I was joining a service that

I was proud to join. So that I could change

people's lives. As the service changed over

the years, that has sort of been There's been a big issue

with retention and recruitment You do recruit good people,

but they tend to leave very quickly. After the training, it was,

I think 8-9 weeks training in total, it was just, you're

on the wings, and that is it. 20 years ago you had

time with prisoners. Time to engage, time to understand,

time to try and get them to see that their actions were wrong,

whereas now we haven't got the staff, we haven't got the time,

and we've got prisoners that don't really care about

changing their lives. There was a massive sick rate

and they 're struggling to cover There were times when,

I was sure I wasn't the only one, you're left to lock 64

prisoners behind doors. Prisoners issues are not dealt

with as quickly as they used to be, that causes frustration among

the prisoners and it builds up and sometimes

this leads to assaults. Staff get injured,

that leads to sickness, When I joined there used to be

staff, from ex-army, ex-police, etc. They had the life experience to deal

with these people, to talk to them. But young staff coming in don't have

these kind of life skills and that's another big failure

which causes problems. We're getting officers

who are 20, 21 years of age. What experience have

they got of life? And they are telling a 40,

50-year-old to go behind the door who's probably done

ten years already. There's no respect, no authority

and there's no discipline. I saw it first hand,

prisoners attacked another prisoner with a razor blade over

a packet of tobacco. If you're on your own and you see

something like that which we did, you could be trying to split

15-20 blokes up. Staff have seen it gradually get

worse over the period that I've worked there and they leave,

they either retire or they leave on medical grounds,

because in their eyes they're jumping off a sinking ship,

and the new ones are coming on to try and replace the old ones

leaving with vast experience. It's just a numbers game

for the Government. Honestly, I used to wake

up in the morning and And I just hope that at the end

of the day I come away in one piece. And then I can go home,

forget about it to the next day. When you've got a prisoner

threatening to rip your head off, he's going to stab you,

he's going to get your kids shot, get your missus shot,

you don't know, you don't Up to the time of the incident

I was a teetotaller, I didn't drink. When I'm not at work,

when I'm on holiday, it's fine. How much are you drinking most days

when you are at work? Then we get up the next morning

and act as if nothing's wrong. Because you have to put a front on,

because if prisoners find out you've got a weakness,

they will use it. I don't think people

would actually believe that a job If everyone who wanted to leave

left, they wouldn't have And I said, you know,

if ever I could help I will, and I was just fortunate I could get

out, and I have got out. The reason why I took

up your invitation to speak up was because I'm hoping that I can

change the direction My intention was to expose

the problems we're facing and to make it better for the people

who want to join. It will be good if the disaster

that is looming can be averted. We have this statement from the

Ministry of Justice... "In November last year

we announced a major overhaul of the prison system,

including 2500 extra frontline officers and new measures to tackle

violence, drugs and mobile phones. We are continuing to transform our

prison estate to close old and dilapidated prisons,

and create up to 10,000 new places The Iraqi army says

Mosul has been liberated from the so-called Islamic State,

but it has come at a price - thousands have been killed and more

than 800,000 people And have you been judged for your

accent? Angela Rayner was, we are asking you to let us know your

experiences. Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news. The case of the terminally-ill baby

Charlie Gard is due to return Great Ormond Street Hospital

in London has asked judges to consider new evidence relating

to potential treatment The courts have previously backed

the view of his doctors that nothing can be done to improve his quality

of life, and they should be allowed to switch

off his life support systems. The Prime Minister is to signal a

change in her style of Government, calling for a cross-party consensus

on some policy ideas. In her first major speech

since the general election, Theresa May will say her

commitment to change But with the Conservatives

losing their overall majority, she'll say the reality she faces

means she has to approach She will call on other parties to

contribute, not just criticise. The Iraqi prime minister Haider

al-Abadi has congratulated his armed forces on their victory over

Islamic State militants in Mosul. It's nine months since government

forces launched an attack Much of it has been

reduced to rubble. Counter-terror police have launched

a film telling holiday-makers how to react in the event of a terrorist

attack in their resort. The video shows an attack by gunmen

on a hotel and repeat advice to run, hide and tell. Police say there is

no evidence of an increased threat this summer.

That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10am.

Let's head to Wimbledon now, and talk to Sally Nugent.

We look forward to the emergency alarm going off. And it is manic

Monday, so come on, Andy Murray and Johanna Konta! We love that moment

when the alarm goes off, but who cares? Everybody plays today, that

is why we call it manic Monday. Andy Murray will play Benoit Paire. Not

everyone has heard of him, but this is potentially a really tough match

for Andy Murray. Jo Konta, oh, my goodness, doesn't she look

confident? Isn't it interesting how just a week in tennis can change

things for her? She felt the love of the Wimbledon crowd last week. She's

playing Carolina Garcia, also French, later today. So we have to

make a really good hopes, and more than that, Victoria. Go on! You

know. Marcus Willis. He is playing in the doubles. Our favourite

player. He is such a hero. He is fantastic on social media. A new

dad, posted lots of pictures with his cute baby. He has had rough time

over the weekend. After that fantastic win other day, on social

media people had the cheek to call him a bit overweight. But he

responded to it very elegantly, pointing out that actually, he was

doing really rather well and into the second week of one of the best

tennis tournaments in the world. So we wish Marcus Willis and Jade

Clarke well. Before I go, we might have missed the alarm. Lemina let

you in on something we don't normally get to see. I don't know if

my cameraman can go slightly to my right. This is a briefing going on.

This time of day, we have all the Armed Forces, the servicemen and

women who come and help at Wimbledon. They get told the order

of the day and what is happening, who to look after, who to look out

for, which will person is going to be here. So they are talking in

hushed tones. We are not allowed to listen. Fair enough, have a good

day. Charlie Gard's parents return

to the High Court today with new evidence which they hope

will save his life. The 11-month-old little

boy is terminally ill, having been born with a rare genetic

condition which means he can't move His parents have made a number

of unsuccessful challenges to a decision to turn off his life

support, but Great Ormond Street Hospital has now asked

the High Court to look at new evidence about potential

treatment for his condition abroad. Charlie's mum, Connie Yates,

has been telling Radio 4's Today programme this morning

about the treatment they hope There's 18 children

currently on the medication. They all have mitochondrial

depletion system as well as Charlie, but theirs is caused

by a slightly different gene. You're bypassing the normal chemical

reactions that happen in the cell. You're going right to the end, which

is what the cell normally does, You're giving the body nucleosides

and then you're increasing So Charlie should get his

strength back, if it works. We've got around a 50% chance of it

crossing the blood-brain barrier, so that means getting

into his brain, because his He still has brainwaves, but they're

slower than they should be. But, yeah, it has a good chance

of crossing the blood-brain barrier and that's what the new research

is about. We now have seven

doctors supporting us. Two from America, two from Italy,

one from England and two from Spain. They all specialise in mitochondrial

depletion syndrome. At Great Ormond Street

they have a lot of specialities under one roof, but they don't have

anyone who specialises I know that structural

damage is irreversible, although there have been cases

where even that is reversible. We expect that the structural damage

is irreversible, but I am yet to see something that tells me my son has

got irreversible Do you have any sense

throughout this process about whether or not

he is suffering? I wouldn't be able to sit

there and watch my son suffer or be in pain,

I promise you that. A lot of people say,

"I couldn't do it. He doesn't have the best life

at the moment because If he was given a tracheostomy, then

we could take him out to the park. We would probably be at home now,

but for some reason they think it is in his best interest

to keep him on the There are much more

comfortable ways. He watches videos on the iPad

and stuff like that. If he was suffering,

I couldn't do it, I promise you. I think a lot of people

think this is wrong. We've got one set of doctors

blocking us from going We've now got two hospitals

willing to take Charlie, so effectively two sets of doctors

that we have been These guys are experts

in this field. They've got medical

licence to protect. They wouldn't do a treatment that

didn't have a chance of working. It always had a chance, but now that

chance is being put up to 10%. I think that's a good enough chance

to take an oral medication Tomorrow is the 11th, which is three

months since the judgment, and that's all we asked

for, three months. In all that time, we

could have tried it. We could have been having a trial

today saying shall Charlie carry Or, you know, is it in his best

interest to die now? But yet I am still fighting

for the same thing that I have been We can cross to Mark Lobel, who's

at Great Ormond Street Hospital. It is the hospital that feels the

life-support machine should be switched off that is going back to

the same judge at the High Court to look at this potential new evidence?

That's right. Of course, it has come after pressure from the parent and

from some members of the International medical community that

in around four and a half hours' time, as you say, the High Court

judges are again going to get a chance to decide what is in the best

interests for 11-month-old Charlie, who is behind at the in Great Ormond

Street Hospital. He has this rare syndrome, so he has to be helped to

breathe. That is just one of the unfortunate characteristics that the

parents desperately want to change. As you say, it is actually Great

Ormond Street Hospital that have gone forward and found with this new

evidence that they have been presented with another reason to ask

judges to consider again whether Charlie should have this oral

medication. It is only being used by 18 people, 18 children worldwide who

have similar, but not the same condition as Charlie. And they are

being asked to find out whether Charlie would probably benefit from

this. Some people think he has a one in ten chance of benefiting from

this treatment and it would make him feel better. If the judges decided

that it would, he will be allowed to go to America. But, and there is a

big but, there are strict criteria in the UK and the balance of

decision-making is very thin. For example, if it was seen as

unacceptably harsh, the treatment, or it wouldn't necessarily sustain a

child's life for very long, they would not go ahead with it. So it is

a tough decision and when they were presented with this decision before,

the High Court didn't go through with it. That matters because if

they don't go through with it, there is a chance that they would turn off

the machines that are keeping the 11-month-old Charlie alive at the

moment. Thank you, Mark. The hearing is two o'clock this afternoon but we

are not expecting a final decision today. Next to Iraq.

And from Mosul we have Stephanie Remion, who is currently

working as an emergency coordinator at a hospital in West Mosul

Stefanie, tell us about the devastation of the city and about

the lives of civilians who have survived this battle? We are located

about three kilometres from the last active fighting area, so what I can

tell you is not really what is happening on the front line or in

the old city right now. But as you said about the civilian patients who

arrived to us from the old city, they come with war trauma related

injuries such as blast wounds, explosion wounds, Shell wounds,

trauma wounds etc. They are in a desperate state. They tell us they

have been waiting for days under the rubble until they were able to be

brought to a hospital. So it is a world of devastation. Sarah from the

Red Cross, Sarah Alzawqari, you were in Mosul last week. What help were

you giving to people? I would like to also add that the humanitarian

concern is extremely high. Right now, we have a surgical team which

was just a kilometre away from the front line and although they have

not received many blast injuries in the last couple of days, they have

received a lot of people who were under the rubble all who had

injuries from unexploded devices. The area is heavily contaminated.

Everywhere inside Mosul, you will find bullets. There are families who

tried to go back home and soon as they opened the door, there were

booby traps. Kids stepped on landmines. And of course, the

situation becomes more and more difficult. The help that we have

been given, we also know it is important for those who are going

back to have access to water. There was a lot of infrastructure that has

been destroyed. Thousands of houses, bridges, roads, of course

electricity, water plants. It is hard for people to go back with no

homes, schools, hospitals or places like that. There is nothing to go

back to, especially in areas that have witnessed heavy fighting. Let

me bring in Dr Ahmed Sabaawi, because his family is still there.

What are they telling you? My family are in a part of the city which has

been liberated since January. I have some relatives and friends who have

just fled the western part of the city. The situation now is better,

but the western part is the old city of Mosul, with old housing, against

area. There are more than 20,000 civilians trapped there as hostages

and human shields. Our Iraqi army and security forces have done an

extraordinary job and they have completed their mission with their

heads held high. But the hard work is starting now. There are hundreds

of thousands of families in refugee camps. They have lost their lives

and their houses. In the city, we have too many children who have

found themselves alone because their parents were dead in the war.

Let me bring in Campbell MacDiarmid, a freelance journalist covering the

battle to retake Mosul. You are in Irbil now, about five Hours Drive

away, but in terms of the significance of this, this

liberation of Mosul, how significant is it? It is certainly a major

victory for the Government of Iraq, it strikes a real deathblow to the

notion of Isis as a caliphate that can attract members from overseas,

as we saw back in 2014 there were thousands coming to join. But what

we've already started to see is that as they lose territory the group is

able to revert to insurgent terrorist tactics that we have seen

before in Iraq over the last decade. Already in Mosul and liberated areas

we have seen suicide bombings, we have seen that further afield in

Iraq and I think we can continue to see that overseas as well. Let me

bring in Raffaello Pantucci, because you agree with the point Campbell

was making, fighters change the way they look, shave their beards, and

returned to cause more chaos? I think the point is we have to

remember the group we look at now and call so-called Islamic State has

been around since the late 90s in one shape or another and since that

time it has moved into Iraq in 2002, 2003 and participated

in this insurgency against American led forces fighting in the country,

and it grew and shrank again in 2008, 2009, when it shrank to the

hills and was pushed back. In the wake of the Civil War in Syria it

managed to grow the game and grow and grow to the expansive engorged

form that we have seen in terms of containing Mosul and Raqqa and now

we see it shrinking again. What I think Campbell is pointing out, the

group taking back to the hills, going back to the insurgent gorilla

model is what we will see, rather than completely disappearing. Could

they return to Mosul in a few months? And a lot will depend on

what the Iraqi Government in Baghdad needs to

reach out to the Sunni people in Mosul and say, we are here for you

as well? As we have seen from the pictures there has been incredible

devastation, making sure that get put together, making sure people

feel that their Government really represents them and is eager for

them to be part of Iraq is key to making sure the city is inoculated

from so-called Islamic State. We have seen a direct correlation

between IS losing some of its territory and terrorist attacks

abroad in Manchester, London, Paris, Nice, various other cities, is that

going to continue, do you think? I think the intent to launch attacks

on the West remains and we have seen it has become incredibly diffuse,

whereas previously we saw the model of the large-scale attacks like

Paris and Brussels, there is still an aspiration in that direction but

increasingly we are seeing this directive from a distance where

people are talking to people at of Raqqa and Mosul who are telling

them, take a car and mow down some people, do the sorts of things, and

it becomes part of their message. I think we will see that continue but

it will be interesting to see how it develops as a methodology as the

group loses territory. Campbell, is it significant the Prime Minister

there has not declared victory yet? We have seen the Government of Iraq

is eager to claim victories, one of the things we have seen throughout

this campaign is that officers have tended to get a bit premature with

declarations of victory so I think it is a good thing that he hasn't

made a formal declaration yet while there is still fighting on going

because that undermines what is a very significant victory and I think

we will see that declaration very soon, in the coming one or two days.

Stephanie, tell our British audience about the conditions you are working

game in the hospital where you are? The hospital is in very good shape,

of course most of the hospitals have been destroyed during the conflict

so the MSF team had to find a place that was correct in terms of

structure so that we the could open in good conditions. Today the

conditions inside the hospital are very good, of course coming everyday

to the hospital from our base is where we cross the city with houses

collapsed in rubble, etc. And Sarah, what kind of things do you need, and

your workers, in order to be able to help people on the ground? Of course

there are many things that are needed at the moment, it is going to

be very difficult for the cities to stand up, it is going to be a very

difficult road for the people. They have been traumatised, they left

under very difficult situations and heavy bombardment with explosive

weapons, being shot at, they have lost a lot of family members on the

way, or they don't know what has happened to them. We are on the

ground, we are giving everything that we could, whether it is

emergency relief all food or medical supplies, even rehabilitation and

building water units. It will take a lot of work from everyone. I think

one of the biggest challenges as well right now which we and other

organisations are going to step into even more is with the dead bodies

that are currently, there are thousands of dead bodies in Mosul

under the rubble, on the streets, a lot of hospitals are receiving them

and it is becoming very hard to transport them, people don't have

the correct means and facilities or training to be able to transport

them in a dignified manner. And at the same time in a hygienic

way. So this is a huge issue, we have been donating tracks for

transportation and body bags but a lot more will be needed in the next

weeks, especially as the fighting is over. Thank you all very much, we

are grateful for your time. Thank you for your messages about

the prison system. We brought you exclusive interviews with serving

prison officers, which is really rare because they are worried about

losing their job. Obviously we disguised their voices. This text

from somebody who does not leave their name, as a former female

prisoner serving just a short sentence, I stayed in three jails.

In every prison mobile phones were on every wing and drugs were more

available than outside. I have nothing but respect for all the

prison officers who helped me on numerous occasions I encountered

officers at the end of their ability to cope and in tears. I could only

imagine men's prisons must be worse. We will talk more about the state of

British jails after the news and sport, coming up at 10am.

Before that, the Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner

has come under attack, being described as sounding "thick"

by some people on twitter after her appearance

on the the Andrew Marr Show yesterday morning.

Let's have a listen to a clip from the programme...

I believe many working class and part-time and older mature

There's three things that the coalition government helped

the Conservatives with that have led to the disastrous

Of course you mentioned the hiking of tuition fees,

but there was the removal of the maintenance grants.

There was the increase in the percentage of loans.

They changed it so they couldn't use the base rate of the Bank of England

and they upped the percentage that people paid.

And of course the threshold of income, meaning more

students would pay back more from the beginning as well.

The Stockport-born MP, who has been the Member of Parliament

for Ashton-under-Lyne since 2015, responded by saying

she was proud of her accent and would not be changing.

She tweeted, anonymous account attacking my accent again, saying I

am sick etc? I will reiterate I am proud of my

accent and will not change. In response she was trolled with a

variety of tweets including means. We can speak now to Dr Rob Drummond,

who is a senior lecturer in linguistics at Manchester

Metropolitan University and has written about the abuse levelled

at Angela Rayner and her accent. Hello to you, Doctor Rob Drummond.

What do you think? I think it is really bad that in this day and age,

2017, people are still getting abuse for the way they speak. I think it

is great, the way she speaks, more than any other politician she speaks

in the same accent as the people she represents, and I think when MPs are

being accused of being out of touch with the people they represent, I

think this should be celebrated, that she has such a genuine regional

accent and she is proud of it. Linda says this, she mistook 11 billion

and 100 billion, that is enough for me.

Another says, it is nothing to do with her accent. One says, from

Newcastle, I have met people who think I am friendly but

unsophisticated, as if we still have an outside toilet! There is this

prejudice and I think it is really quite bad. If you replace the idea

of accent with any other thing to do with people, such as ethnicity,

sexuality, gender, Iti replace those kinds of words you would soon

realise that it is really not good, it is quite damaging. That is a

really fair point. Angela Rayner has a very interesting background,

mother of three, her eldest son was born when she was 16, in her first

speech to the House of Commons she said a care worker becoming an MP,

that is real aspiration for you. Perhaps as the only member of the

house who was 16 and pregnant, she was told she would never amount to

anything, if only they could see me now. Exactly, she has done really

well and I think part of her appeal is that she is so genuine, she is

authentic. The way we speak is so much a part of who we are, and she

comes across as completely authentic. I think it is great. We

also have reverse prejudice in this country, if you speed to posh you

will also be criticised and cold online. You can, and to be fair

there were politicians who have had that as well, think about Jacob Rees

Mogg, who has probably one of the pot used -- poshest RP accent, I

remember in his early days I think trying to get elected in Fife, he

had no chance. He said as soon as he opened his mouth he realised he was

losing votes. It is all to do with how people perceive different

positions and different jobs to be, and a Conservative politician

generally is seen as having that kind of accent, and that is what is

expected, so if somebody is outside that, and similar for Angela Rayner,

especially being involved in education, there is a perception of

the kind of accent she should have, or traditionally that the

post-holder has had, and when something is different from that

people get a bit upset about it. Thank you very much, Doctor Rob

Drummond from Manchester Metropolitan University.

Jackie says, accents should not matter, ability to communicate

matters and Angela Rayner communicates well.

Stevie Smith says, the irony is that the BBC only ever use posh London,

friendly northern Glaswegian accents, the BBC are close minded

when it comes to accidents. Another says, your accent is no

reflection on your ability to do a job well, there are lots of

successful fix sounding people. News and sport on the way. First,

let's get the latest weather. The weather on the change today and

through the coming days, some suntan on offer but the risk of showers or

longer spells the rain and it. To be fresher and more comfortable by

night for sleeping and the risk of some breezy conditions as we head to

the end of the week. We have low pressure in charge of our weather

today, with that it is fairly unsettled, a weather front bringing

more persistent rain through tonight but for the rest of today are

essentially it is sunshine and showers, some of the showers happy

and thundery especially across the south-east, potential for some

surface water flooding, elsewhere a day of sunshine and showers. Parts

of Northern Ireland and Scotland, an improvement compared with yesterday,

still a bit of cloud around, sunny spells, the best of the sunshine

across northern parts of Scotland, for much of England a day of

sunshine and showers, the showers heavier in the east. Further west,

for Wales a day of sunshine and showers, temperatures around 19

Celsius, lots of dry weather for Devon and Cornwall and as we head

into London we have had become downpours so if you are going to

Wimbledon this afternoon the potential for a few showers, 30%

chance we could see those showers but also there will be some sunshine

to enjoy, temperatures around 24 Celsius. Through tonight the showers

will ease and then all eyes to the west, we have another weather front

making its way in from the West, heavy rain coming

into parts of England and Wales and Northern Ireland, the further south

and east you are it is drier and still relatively muddy but still

fresh in the North, eight to 13 Celsius across Scotland. Tomorrow

and north-south split, northern part enjoying sunny spells but also the

risk of showers. Further south we have the rain gradually tracking its

way eastwards, heavy pulses likely as well as we go through the day so

there will be some rain for Wimbledon tomorrow. Temperatures

between 13 to about 21 Celsius. As we head into Wednesday, an

improvement, once this weather front clears south-east we can look

forward to dry and bright weather, the link pleasant enough in the

sunshine but certainly cooler than the last few days, temperatures

ranging between 14 to about 22 Celsius. As

we head to the end of the week, a mixture of sunshine and showers with

the potential for breezy conditions through Thursday and Friday, so keep

the sunscreen to hand and you will need your umbrella.

We have exclusive access to serving prison officers

who say the service is at crisis point and it's "only a matter

of time before a prison officer is killed on duty".

And I just hope that at the end of the day,

Those prison officers have risked their jobs to talk to us.

In the next hour, your experiences if you work within the prison

service and we will speak to a representative of the Prison

Officers Association and a former governor, plus an inmate.

What do you say to Conservative MPs who are plotting to get rid of her?

I think there is less of this than you would think.

I have been around Westminster long enough to know that

in July, there is lots of chatter, but I know absolutely that the

overwhelming majority of my Conservative colleagues in

Parliament are firmly behind the Prime Minister.

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

There are huge issues facing this country. Brexit is clearly the

overwhelming one, but it is not just that. Theresa May is as ambitious as

she ever was with her domestic agenda, which is why this week we

will be talking about workers' rights. Later in the year, we will

be setting out our new industrial strategy. There is a lot to be done

and she is getting on with it and the government is getting on with

it. You can hear Victoria's full interview with Damian Green in a few

minutes' time. The European Court of Human Rights

is expected to rule on the case of a Scottish man fighting the UK's

longest extradition case. Phillip Harkins, who is originally

from Greenock, has been fighting extradition to the United States

I was told my voice was not conducive to telesales. So I rang up

their products. At the end of the conversation, I came clean and got

the job. I have often been judged on my London accent and I am convinced

I have often been misjudged, but that only lasts fleetingly. Kevin

says, people will always judge you. If it is not your accent, it is the

way you dress or the way you look. I speak five languages and have an

accent in each of them. I don't let it bother me. It is what I say that

is important. If you're getting in touch, you are welcome.

Here's some sport now with Leah Boleto.

They've both met four times before, each winning twice, with Garcia

beating Jo in their most recent clash in March.

And given that Britain hasn't had a female quarter-finalist

this week, they have dived straight into and have gone about in a

brilliant way and made my life a lot easier.

The win came moments after England's women got a crucial three-run win

they'd get past Coleen, Assaulted by having excrement

stuffed in your face, inmates out of control on drugs

and a work life so stressful, you drink a bottle of spirits

a day to escape. Just a few of the things serving

prison officers have exclusively They're risking their jobs

just by speaking to us. Since 2010, the number of frontline

prison officers has fallen by some 7,000 to 18,000 and budgets have

been cut severely. In recent months, jails have

experienced some of the worst rioting in decades as the decline

in standards has Around 240 prisoners were moved

off the site after 12 And just yesterday, it was announced

that more than 200 kilos of drugs and 13,000 mobile

phones had been found It's very rare for serving prison

officers to speak out - they spoke to Dan Clark Neal,

who's a former We've protected the identities

of the officers who've spoken We played you Dan's

full film earlier - here's a short version

before we speak to various All the background footage

you'll see in this film is from the BBC archive

and was not shot in the prisons Drugs is a massive,

massive issue now compared They spoke openly about friends,

gang members, getting receiving sort of two

year sentences because they know when they get in there

there's quite a strong drug feed. There were talking about making

several thousand pounds a month just through selling

drugs in prison. Prisoners are specifically

now going out and doing a crime to be recalled

because they can earn more money coming in with drugs,

mobile phones and SIM cards. That never

happened 20 years ago. Just before I left

we had a member of staff who ended up with a broken

nose, potentional broken finger, Excrement thrown in my face,

he basically put excrement in a bag and he ran up behind me and shoved

it in my face, eyes, nose, mouth, it was the worst feeling

in the world, like, we didn't know their medical

records, I didn't know whether he had HIV, hepatitis,

which is all carried So the next day I was in

the hospital having all the tests When you join the Armed Forces

and you're fighting on the battlefield, anything can

happen, you can survive, you can get killed, you can

get seriously injured. After the training, it was, I think,

eight to nine weeks' It was just, you're

on the wing, and that is it. We are getting officers who are 20,

21 years of age, what And they are telling a 40,

50-year-old to go behind the door? Who's probably done

ten years already. There's no respect, no authority

and there's no discipline. There's been a big issue

with retention and recruitment You do recruit good

people, but they tend to Honestly, I used to wake up

in the morning and feel And I just hope that

at the end of the day When I'm not at work,

when I'm on holiday, it's fine. How much are you drinking most days

when you are at work? Then we get up the next morning

and act as if nothing's wrong. Let's speak now to David Todd from

the Prison Officers Association, Jonathan Robinson, who served 17

weeks of a 15 month sentence in 2011 and John Attard, who spent seven

years as governor at Holloway and is from the Prison

Governors' Association. David, how do you react to this kind

of insight? Unfortunately, it is nothing new. There has been a rise

in assaults on prison staff and a rise in assaults on prisoners. Until

last December, there were 344 deaths in custody. Prison officers have to

deal with this. They have to deal with the violence. It takes its

toll. There is a massive rise in post-traumatic stress disorder

amongst my members. An officer on his own to close up more than 60

prisoners. Is that the normal or is that unusual? In some of the inner

London jails, you will have more than that. You will have two menace

of staff looking up 160 prisoners and trying to control that many with

two staff is asking the impossible. Is it asking the impossible, as a

prison governor? I think it is, the crisis we are referring to right now

is something the Prison Officers' Association was sensitive to a

number of years ago and most people will be well be called for an

independent public inquiry last year at our annual conference into the

crisis prisons are in, and David refers to the statistics, but the

statistics we are hearing are actually not completely relevant,

the statistics we need to look at are those that go back five years

when the austerity cuts first kicked in. If we look at serious assaults

on staff, it is close to 200%, the increase. If we look at a

self-inflicted deaths in custody, the increase is something like 117%.

The figures are proud so simply going back 12 years is an irrelevant

figure, it is just a Canada reference, not a real reference.

So, when the Government says, amongst other things, they are

spending a lot of money and employing an extra 2500 prison

officer is, new measures to tackle violence, drugs and mobile phones,

how is that going, in your eyes? Anything the Government do to

improve things is welcome but the fact is over the last five years

around 900 million, nearly ?1 billion was stripped out of prisons,

we lost 7000 prison officers and 5000 prison governors. What we are

looking at right now is the tip of the iceberg and if we are going to

seek a different it is going to need a bigger push. We talked about

public sector pay, who wants to be a prison officer or prison governor

when we have had seven years of capped pay? It is not an attractive

environment to work in. Jonathan, from your point of view, tell our

audience about the number of mobile phones inside jails, the level of

drugs inside jails. Well, Dan's film is the tip of the iceberg. I served

a fully justified very short sentence in 2011, so that makes me

an expert. I remember meeting a young man in his early 20s and he

said to me, I have been put in here on purpose to make money, and I took

that with a pinch of salt. But now I don't doubt him, because I've met so

many people, I'd visit prisons a lot, get searched very rarely when I

go into them, and young people are getting themselves deliberately

recalled all put in custody deliberately to make money, and they

enter prison with drugs about their person. When I arrived at HP Bedford

in July 2011 we were about six people, we were searched, but not

one of us were invited to sit in the chair, which was a machine in place

that I now know if you sit in it it will detect whether you have

something about your person. The prisons system, whilst I am

extremely grateful to compassionate prison officer is, the prison

system, you are parachuted in, quite justifiably, is a den of apathy and

missed opportunity for sorting people out once we had got them in

custody. Believe it or not, so many young people in jail want to turn

their lives around, but we're doing hardly anything with them. When you

meet a young person in his early 20s who tells you he is serving his

ninth prison sentence, the pennies start to drop that we are not doing

enough with folk once we have got them, and the standard

administration responds off, we are employing 2500 more staff, is just a

joke. It is not going to cut it? In terms of searches, are you going to

tell me it is impossible to search everyone visiting the jail or sit

them in the bass chair because they're not staff? Unfortunately

that is the current situation. Sorry to interrupt, but if you don't serve

everyone then for those officers it will create more problems inside the

jail? It will, and unfortunately the public are only being made aware

because prison officers and my union, the POA, had a protest which

we stayed out on the streets and had it. I know they have never taken

steps like that but we have highlighted things with the public

through our actions. If we had enough prison offices in post we

could search properly. Searching strategies at the minute are

laughable. From your view from the inside, Jonathan, what would you

change? Would you give prisoners mobile phones? No, I would start to

utilise better the time in prison, at the moment purposeful activity

has only risen 1% in five years. Being brave and giving mobile phones

and tablets would be too much for the very right wing. I would like to

see a full working day for inmates, including training. There is a

wonderful example of how this works, a charity or prison restaurants, on

Friday every single one of their restaurants around the country was

number one on trip advisor. Prisoners who have been through the

scheme, the reoffending rate is only 6%. Compared to two thirds of

reoffending broadly? If that is not a template for using prison time

purposefully, I don't know what is. And the food is yummy! First of all,

can you imagine governors staging a protest by the prison officers did?

It is not something that we would contemplate but bearing in mind it

is against the law for us to take industrial action, but I do get a

sense, and the PGA gets the sense that feeling at the moment is the

lowest I have ever known it. What has happened is depressing, we talk

about what should happen now to make things better, we need to take

prisons say. It is important to not speak in generic terms, there are

some prisons that are doing very well but it is large local prisons

where we are struggling and if we want prison to be a better place, it

has to be said for, and in order for that you need more staff to be able

to do that, including prison governors. And would you back what

Jonathan is suggesting, and meaningful, proper working day to

try and cut the reoffending rates? You can only have a reasonable

working day it you put enough staff... Oh, yes, absolutely. Having

said that, most of my sentence was in an open prison where we had a

money possibly being required, in my open prison we all sat about

sunbathing. I had been trained by the system to teach if it would

prisoners to read, a private education company that you are

paying for banned the scheme, so is it that the justice system needs

more money, or do they need to spend the money more wisely? Some

contracts are in their millions. An e-mail, I have worked as a probation

officer in prisons for some years, experienced older staff are

essential to maintaining the necessary discipline and rapport

with inmates. Martin on e-mail says, the biggest

problem for prison officers is savage cuts since 2010 and it is a

matter of time until we have a catastrophe.

This text says, prison officers are very well paid in recognition of

what they may have to do in the course of their work.

Mohammed on e-mail says, I feel for these offices, I am ex-police and I

know exactly what they are going through.

Thank you very much all of you for coming on the programme.

A year ago, Theresa May was taking over as Prime Minister in the wake

She enjoyed positive personal poll ratings and opened up

12 months later, and after a disastrous election

she didn't need to hold but decided to anyway, how different it

all looks, with many in her party asking when -

Let's take a look back at her eventful year in charge.

Brexit means Brexit, and we are going to make a success of it.

I have just been to Buckingham Palace, where Her Majesty The Queen

has asked me to form a new Government,

If you're just managing, I want to address you directly.

The Article 50 process is now under way.

And, in accordance with the wishes of the British people,

the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union.

The only way to guarantee certainty and stability for the years ahead

is to hold this election and seek your support

Nothing has changed, nothing has changed.

The Conservative Party has won the most seats

and probably the most votes, then it will be incumbent on us

to ensure that we have that period of stability, and that is exactly

Damian Green is the first Secretary of State and what of Theresa May's

closest allies. I spoke to him earlier and he began by defending

Mrs May against claims she is a lame-duck Prime Minister.

She's not a lame-duck Prime Minister.

She is still full of ideas, full of determination.

Well, she has a parliamentary majority.

But even your own Conservative backbenchers and some former senior

Cabinet ministers are apparently plotting to get rid

The first duty of the Government is to make sure it passes

the Queen's Speech legislation, which means we have got

a legislative programme for the next two years.

Absolutely, she and the Government have the authority to put that

OK, what do you say to Conservative MPs who are plotting

I think there is less of this than you would think.

I've been around Westminster long enough to know that in July

there's lots of chatter, but I know absolutely

that the overwhelming majority of my Conservative

colleagues in Parliament are firmly behind the Prime Minister.

And for those who aren't, because you say an overwhelming

majority of colleagues are behind her, meaning some aren't,

for those who aren't, what do you say to those

who are plotting how to get rid of her?

I'd say that the Conservative Party won most seats and most votes

at the general election and that everyone now should get

on with the job that the country has given us, which is running this

country in the way that meets our Conservative principles.

There are a lot of issues that we face, not just Brexit

What the people of this country want is a Government that

Well, that's always a sensible view that we have.

There is, I think, no public desire for another election.

The Government is getting on with that job.

There are serious issues facing this country,

and it's time for all MPs to knuckle down to work

to contribute what they can, to set their ideas,

This Government is getting on with doing it and it deserves

We will talk to two people about her first year in a moment, but let me

bring you this news, British man Philip Parkins, wanted for murder in

the United States, has lost his long-running battle against

extradition, he had a final appeal to the European Court of Human

Rights in Strasbourg, he has lost that which means he will be

extradited to the United States to face trial for murder. We will bring

you more reaction to that in the next half an hour of the programme.

Let's talk to Joey Jones, who was Mrs May's spokesman

when she was Home Secretary but didn't follow her

And Kate Maltby, who helped set up Bright Blue, a Conservative

think-tank that campaigns for a more modern, compassionate Tory Party.

How is that going, Kate? We're getting there. Jerry Jones, how

would you assess her first year as Prime Minister? It brought back some

memories watching that montage, lots of things in that which one would

not have expected to play out in the way that they did. I don't think any

of us would imagine we would wake up to hear that Theresa May was

reaching out to the hand of friendship, if you like, to a Labour

Party led by Jeremy Corbyn, as seems to be the case at the moment,

suggesting a new spirit of consensual and grown-up politics,

Dominic Greene saying that there was space for dialogue between the two

parties. That is only a few weeks after she opened and concluded a

successful dialogue with the unions in Northern Ireland which are

obviously a very different kettle of fish, so it is quite a lot that she

seems to feel she can juggle and manage from a position that I think

we all agree is not a strong one at the moment. What do you think of

that, Kate, this appeal to her opponents to contribute. Just

criticise? Any Prime Minister should be using Parliament as a place to

really debate the ideas of the moment, that is why we send a wide

range of representatives, but I'm afraid this all sounds rather hollow

from a Prime Minister who just a few months ago, you showed it on the

screen, was standing up talking about those who were trying to

undermine Brexit, blocking the will of the people. You remember the big

Daily Mail headline, crush the saboteurs. That is not quite what

Theresa May said herself but you of all people will know Theresa May has

very close links to the Daily Mail, or certainly had then. You cannot go

from talking about crushing the saboteurs in Parliament to turning

around and embracing your opponent in the spirit of constructive debate

the next. There are so many reasons to be sceptical about this proposed

course of action. Theresa May has a history of being able to work in a

consensual way with people across the divide in Parliament, actually

when I was in the Home Office there was a big effort to bring people on

board for the IP bill that was going through, is very complicated bill

described by some as the snooper's charter, and that was an issue where

there was a lot of haggling, a lot of talk with people who you would

not have expected her to be talking to, but this is different, this is

on a different scale. Yes, because she had power as Home Secretary,

potentially has she got less power as Prime Minister? Broadly speaking,

for that proposal, although contentious, there was a

Parliamentary majority for the taking. Here, if you look at it

temperamentally and tonally, it is so bar out of the comfort zone for

Theresa May that it feels like a different planet and in terms of the

substance is there very much that she and Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party

agree on? Well, the interview was a bit longer with that and I went

through some other things parties might contribute and nothing that

the Conservative Party would agree with. But on that subject of whether

she can reach across the aisle, she at least, by the very fact she has

appointed Damian Green as first Secretary of State, he is going out

on all of the TV programmes as her human shield, he is the minister

always sent out to absorb bad press for Theresa May. That should remind

us that Theresa May is at least capable of having close allies who

actually come from very different ideological backgrounds. Damian

Green is associated with the left of the party, he is privately very

pro-Britain's relationship with the EU but they have forged a very close

working relationship over years of mutual respect in the Home Office,

where he was her junior, and what that should remind us is that there

is not really a Theresa May doctrine, there is no such thing as

Mayism. And there may not be time for it if, come the Conservative

Party conference in September, a few Conservatives get together and

decide to organise some kind of leadership contest? The end could be

tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, nobody can predict, it is

in the hands of the Conservative Party. One of the key thing is they

will be thinking is, what does Theresa May still stand for? So much

has had to be jettisoned and if you look at the areas where there is

cross-party agreement, there was an article yesterday jointly signed by

Ed Vaizey and Rachel Reeves in the TelegraphConservative and one

Labour. And that was trying to pick an area where Theresa May has dug in

her heels, the European Court of Justice, so there is potential

agreement there but only chipping away still further from what the

Prime Minister stood for. How long did you work for her? The blink of

an eye, three months and then 12 hours in Downing Street.

Could she show compassion? Definitely. Thank you both. Still to

come: It's been the UK's longest ever

extradition battle - but now Philip Harkins has

lost his fight to avoid extradition to the US -

we'll hear from the family of the man he is

accused of killing... Another chance for the

terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard. With a judge due to examine renewed

claims the proposed treatment We speak to our Health

Correspondent Fergus Walsh. Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news. A British man wanted for murder

in the United States has lost his long-running legal

battle against extradition Phillip Harkins, who is originally

from Greenock, has been fighting extradition to the United States

for 14 years. The 38-year-old denies

murdering a man in a robbery this morning, the European Court of

Human Rights said his rights would not be breached if he were jailed

for life in Florida. The case of the terminally ill baby

Charlie Gard is due to return Great Ormond Street Hospital

in London has asked judges to consider new evidence relating

to potential treatment The courts have previously backed

the view of his doctors that nothing can be done to improve his quality

of life, and they should be allowed to switch

off his life support systems The Prime Minister is to signal a

change in her style of government, calling for cross-party consensus on

ideas. In her first speech since the general election, Theresa May will

say her commitment to change Britain is undimmed, but she will say the

reality she faces means she has to approach politics differently. She

will also call on other parties to contribute, not just criticise.

The government has said it's determined to tackle failings

in the prison service, after it was revealed that

since 2010, the number of frontline prison officers has fallen by some

7,000 to 18,000 and budgets have been cut severely.

Two prison officers have spoken to this programme

about the reality of working inside prisons in England

and Wales in order, they say, to expose the problems and violence

I was punched and then had excrement thrown in my face. He basically put

excrement in a bag, and he ran up behind me and shoved it in my face,

eyes, nose, mouth. It was the worst feeling in the world. We don't know

their medical records. I didn't know whether he had HIV, hepatitis, which

is all carried in human waste. So the next day, I was in the hospital

having all the tests to see if I had contacted anything.

Next, we're talking tuition fees in England and mounting pressure

on the government to rethink the student loans system

which according to one report we brought you last week can leave

students with a debt of more than ?50,000

We're joined now by Lord Andrew Adonis, a former education

minister for Labour, who came up with the tuition fee

idea, and who now says they should be scrapped altogether.

Paul Howden was a mature student who reckons he'll have

about ?60,000 worth of debt, but still think tuition

Rory Hughes is about to graduate in two weeks and thinks he'll have

We're also joined by the head of the National Union

of Student Shakira Martin - who wants an urgent review

Let's begin with you, Lord Adonis. How have you had this incurable

change of heart from the man who was the architect of these fees to

saying they should be abolished? I haven't had a change of heart. We

introduced fees at ?3000, with no real rate of interest. What happened

in 2010 when the government changed was that David Cameron and Nick

Clegg increased the fees from ?3000 to ?9,000. And from no real rate of

interest, they have gone to a 6% real rate of interest. It is not

sustainable. That is why people have debts of ?50,000. Even introducing

?3000 with a very low interest rate, you know the way it is going to go.

It is only going to go up. That is untrue. We gave a commitment that

the fees would not increase beyond the rate of inflation. That is what

we would have done if we had stayed in government in 2010. Of course, no

government can be responsible for what its successor does. But

students were not happy at the time with ?3000. But they accepted the

system. They did not accept the principle. We did not have massive

campaigns against. People thought it was fair. Is that right, Shakira?

Did undergraduates accept the principle? I think students want

free and accessible education, so anything that is a barrier to

that... But the increase over the last few years has been a big issue

and that has got students really angry. Let's bring in Rory. How much

debt do you think you will have by the time you graduate? Roughly

?35,000 without calculating interest, and interest will start

accumulating while you are still studying and while you are still

paying it off, so it will probably end up in excess of ?45,000. And do

you think that is different from getting a loan to buy a house, or a

loan to buy a car? Yes. The system is different. It doesn't function as

a loan. It functions as a 9% income tax once you earn over ?21,000 a

year. It comes out by PAYE. So it is different. It is a regressive way of

funding further education. So instead of levying it on high

earners or the top 5% of corporations, which would be the

progressive thing to do, we are levying the cost of tuition fees on

anyone who earns over ?21,000 a year with a 9% income tax which is

treated as a loan. So the people who benefit from the university

education pay for it. But we all benefit from university education in

society. If you are trained as a nurse or doctor or teacher or a

lawyer, you have some benefit to your career, of course, but society

benefits from having those skilled graduates in society. University

education is a public good, not a private good. If you earn a lot of

money as a graduate, without these debts you would already be paying it

back through progressive taxation. Lord Of The Rings, are you saying to
