and Chelsea council at her first cabinet meeting. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Survivors of the Grenfell Tower tragedy heckled and booed | :00:20. | :00:21. | |

After the news and sport we'll talk live to the deputy leader | :00:44. | :00:45. | |

Too many mental health patients are being locked up in hospitals | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
where they are trying to get better in a system that has "Outdated care" | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
- this is just one of the finding of a report that also says that some | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
of the care providers leave people feeling "helpless and powerless". | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Also on the programme - Vicky Balch - who had part | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
of her leg amputated after the Alton Tower rollercoaster | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
She gave her first interview after the accident to us - | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
and she's back today to talk about the trauma that | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
changed her life and to raise funds for medical research into trauma. | :01:12. | :01:27. | |
Hello, welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Later, we'll tell you the nine risk factors for dementia, | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
and there's been a rise in sexual offences committed on trains. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
We'll be trying to find out how common it is to be sexually | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
If it has happened to you, tell us what you did - how you reacted. | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
Use the hashtag VictoriaLIVE, and if you text, you will be charged | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
The lewder of Chelsea council has been heckled by residents of | :01:55. | :02:17. | |
Grenfell Tower at the first full meeting since the fire. Elizabeth | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
Campbell was total to resign as she admitted the council needed to | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
change if it was to regain the trust of community. At least 80 people | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
were killed in the fire last monthment our reporter was at the | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
meeting, and witnessed the angry scenes. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
Tensions were always going to be high here with hundreds protesting | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
And inside, it got off to a difficult start. | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
With jeering from Grenfell Tower | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
residents towards Elizabeth Campbell, elected as | :02:52. | :02:52. | |
I am deeply sorry for the grief and trauma that you are suffering. | :02:53. | :03:11. | |
..that we did not do more to help you when | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
The agenda was then scrapped, giving residents | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
One by one they gave their accounts, but | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
So, madam, please, step down and resign. | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
Behind these memories, hundreds of people have | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
As others continued calling on the Council for care and support, | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
more and more residents watched tensely from | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
After around four hours the meeting was abruptly closed | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Until then, there is clearly a lot of work to be done. | :03:54. | :04:13. | |
Annita is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
One in three cases of dementia could be prevented if more people | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
looked after the health of their brain better | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
throughout their lives, according to new research. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
An international study published in the Lancet | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
lists key risk factors - including lack of education, | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
hearing loss, smoking and social isolation. | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
Now there is another reason to stay active. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
Keeping fit can reduce your risk of getting dementia | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
as well as protect against heart disease and cancer. | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
Keeping the mind active throughout life builds what the study calls | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
cognitive reserve, strengthening the brain so that it | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
can function in later life despite damage. | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
The main risk for dementia is old-age. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
But the Lancet study says that 35% of all cases could potentially be | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
prevented if nine other factors were addressed. | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
They are - lack of education, hearing loss, smoking, | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
depression, social isolation, physical | :05:14. | :05:14. | |
inactivity, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
Throughout your adult life, having an enriched | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
environment where you can socialise and exercise and do cognitively | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
stimulating things, that all does it. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Do not smoke, try not to be obese, try to be active. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Alzheimer's accounts for about two thirds of dementia cases. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
There is still no drug that can slow the progress. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
The Alzheimer's Society says dementia | :05:52. | :05:52. | |
is set to be the 21st-century's biggest killer. | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
We all need to be aware of the risks and start making | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
The number of reported sexual offences on trains in the UK has | :05:58. | :06:12. | |
more than doubled in the last five years. | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
5Live found almost 1,500 offences were reported to police in the year | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
That compares with 650 reports five years ago. | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
The rise is thought to be down to more people reporting offences. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Two years ago the British Transport Police launched an awareness | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
campaign to encourage more people to come forward if they'd | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
been sexually abused on public transport. | :06:30. | :06:44. | |
Concerns have been raised about the number of adult mental | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
health patients locked in rehabilitation wards in England. | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
The Care Quality Commission has said it's surprising | :06:52. | :06:52. | |
that there are around 3,500 beds in locked wards. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
NHS England said big steps had been made in improving mental health care | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
with higher funding, but the health regulator said it | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
believed a "significant number" of patients had the capacity to live | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
Isis petting that there are quite a high proportion of people in these | :07:04. | :07:16. | |
services could and should be moved to be back closer them and be cared | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
for in residential settings that are much more, provide much more | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
independence. David Davis and Michel Barnier will | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
set out today what progress has been made in the latest round of talks | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
which are about to end. Over the past four days officials have been | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
discussed citizens' rights and any financial settlement involved in | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Heavy machinery will be brought in today to start work on the main | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
road into a Cornish village which has been badly | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Much of the road into Coverack was washed away during stormy | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Villagers have been clearing out properties | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Everywhere you seem to look in Coverack, there are workers | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
It is all about trying to bring some sort of normality back | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
The downpours of Tuesday having an impact which will be felt | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
Its location at the bottom of steep hills meant it was in the path | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
This is what has been left of the main road. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Some of it ripped up by nature, other parts taken up as council | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
staff work out how much damage has been done | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
But the promise is, they will not leave until the job is done. | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
They've committed that they will stay here until people have got | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Obviously, in terms of making a perfect surface that might take | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
a little while, but they are committed to as quickly as possible | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
get people access into their property and over that road. | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
Well, I do not think we will be cooking anything | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
Insurance assessors are visiting some but others, like this couple, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
they will have to foot the repair bill themselves, | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
It is the start of the busiest six weeks of the tourist season | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
but the weather has dealt this village a major blow. | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
Hamish Marshall, BBC News, Coverack, in Cornwall. | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
TSB has become the first bank in Europe to adopt retina scans to ass | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
Serb your money. It is one of a number of methods for customers to | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
access their accounts. How safe are they? Our technology correspondent | :09:46. | :09:46. | |
Our technology correspondent reports. | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
From September, your eyes could be your password | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
We will show you how to scan your iris. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
TSB customers will need an advanced Samsung smartphone | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
to try out the advanced iris scanning technology. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
If you want to log onto your bank account you just need glance | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
Because it is looking at 266 different characteristics | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
..It will not work if somebody else takes a look. | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
It takes less than a second to get in. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
And there is nothing more convenient than looking at the screen | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
You don't have to do anything special. | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
We all know about the complexities of | :10:36. | :10:36. | |
getting into your online accounts, remembering all sorts of passwords, | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
fiddling about with little devices like this. | :10:46. | :10:46. | |
So could metrics, which depend on something unique about you, | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
Facial recognition and retina scanning are used at passport | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
control in various countries, and fingerprint scanning | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
on smartphones has taken off as a means | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
of paying for anything from a coffee to a bus ticket. | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
Privacy, and the security of the technology, whether it can be | :11:02. | :11:13. | |
If we get that right and put the right processes in place, | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
I think the convenience that biometrics offers will create | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
German hackers claimed they fooled Samsung's iris scanner | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
But the phone maker and TSB insist it is very | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
unlikely that anybody would have both phone and the photo needed | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
A US judge has halted an auction of personal items from the singer | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
Madonna after she said they were stolen and violated her privacy. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
The items - including underwear, a chequebook, hairbrush and photos - | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
One of the most anticipated items was a break-up letter from the late | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
rapper Tupac Shakur, written to Madonna | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
A full hearing has been set for September. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30. | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
Ccess your money. It is one of a number of methods for customers to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
access their accounts. How safe are they? Our technology correspondent | :12:15. | :12:15. | |
reports. We will have more on that layer on | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
the programme. I am getting messages from you ant your experiences of | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
being sexually assaulted on public transport. Obviously, some of these | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
e-mails are talking in detail about what happened. I know it is school | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
holidays for lots of children already, some to break up I I | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
understand that, but when I read some of those message, they are | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
going to contain some detail that you may not want children to hear, | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
so to let you know in advance. Now some sport. The golf is under way at | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Royal Birkdale, it has been rotten weather for the first ones out. | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
and with a shot that went out of bounds. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
But it will clear throughout the day, and it's even | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
Such is the unique combination of the Open and the British summer... | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Mark O'Meara hit that first tee shot. | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
He was the 1998 champion at Royal Birkdale, but started today | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
Top of the leaderboard understandably congested | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Ian Poulter leads. He started very well. He is two under after four. | :13:10. | :13:24. | |
Danny Willett is one behind with Alex Noren. A couple of other | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
British players getting towards the top. They are trying to effect | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
themselves as enough as they can in the early stage, they are the early | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
started. Henrik Stenson goes out before ten. Padraig Harrington won | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
the collar rest jug the last time it was staged at Royal Birkdale. Then | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Justin Rose's group after that. 6-0 winner of Scotland in the | :13:46. | :14:07. | |
European Championship. The player to get it, Jodie Taylor, she sealed her | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
hat-trick, scoring England's fourth shortly after half-time. We should | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
name check the other scorers. With the last touch of the new the | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
new Barcelona striker Toni Duggan. Scotland take on Portugal while | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
England play Spain. Mark Samson say they will get better. A lot of | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
people are aware we have an opportunity to win this with the | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
quality, it is looking difficult. We will make sure we get the right | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
talk, it is a bit of information, to build up, these players, a belief, | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
one thing I am proud of was when I watched them walk on to the field. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
They felt like they want to be here. This is stage for them. The pressure | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
is great for us, the more pressure the better we we are form. | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
Also in football, Celtic are through to the third qualifying | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
round of the Champions League, so only have two more teams to get | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
They completed a 6-0 aggregate win over Northern Ireland champions | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
Linfield, thanks to a 4-0 second leg victory at Celtic Park last night, | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
Chelsea have agreed a fee of around 60 million pounds with real | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
The Spain international is on his way to London for a medical. | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
Morata was being linked with Manchester United | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
for most of the summer, before they beat Chelsea | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
to the signing of Romelu Lukaku, leaving the way clear | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
The striker still has to agree personal terms. | :15:34. | :15:43. | |
Chris Froome, I don't think we can appreciate how many times he has won | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
this competition and also his achievement. He has two big mountain | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
days. He said he wanted more of a cushion | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
between him and his rivals, and he used the first of two big | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
mountain days in the Alps to do it. That all after a shoulder injury | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
ended Germany's Marcel Kittel's hopes of winning the sprinters' | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Green Jersey. Froome finished third on Stage 17 | :16:12. | :16:12. | |
to extend his overall lead. He's now 27 seconds ahead of both | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
Colombia's Rigoberto Uran, and the French rider Romain Bardet, | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
with four stages to go. I'll be back with more | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
just after half past. Do get in touch with us | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
throughout the morning - use the hashtag Victoria LIVE | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
and If you text, you will be charged In the next hour we will talk about | :16:35. | :16:48. | |
ways in which you can help yourself to prevent dementia. | :16:49. | :17:03. | |
Things like completing your secondary school education can help | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
you getting dementia in later life. But we will have more on that. | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
The new leader of Kensington and Chelsea council has been heckled | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
by furious residents of Grenfell Tower, | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
at the authority's first full meeting since the fire. | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
At least eighty people died in the disaster last month. | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
The council has been accused of being slow to react -and indeed | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
has accepted that and apologised for 'not doing more to help | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
At last night's meeting the newly-elected leader | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Elizabeth Campbell tried to directly address the residents. | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
Elizabeth Campbell, would you like to address the chamber? I would | :17:46. | :18:15. | |
normally address a speech to you. However, tonight I would like to ask | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
if I could speak directly to the victims, survivors and community | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
groups... We invited the new leader | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
of the council on to the programme today, we will in a moment speak | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
to the new deputy leader. This time yesterday | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
we were broadcasting our prog from North Kensington and spoke | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
to survivors and families to see how they were getting on five | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
weeks after the fire. My children, I'm concerned | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
for their well-being, Tell me a bit more about how | :18:44. | :18:59. | |
your kids are doing. My wife and I are trying to keep | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
them as occupied as we can. Erm, but my son is aware | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
of the situation, in terms Erm, he's continuously | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
asking for home, asking And, erm, as the father | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
and the husband, erm, it's scary when I don't | :19:27. | :19:45. | |
know what's happening. Well, it hasn't been easy | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
because the boy keeps having, after the traumatic incident, | :19:51. | :20:04. | |
he keeps waking up. I want to go to my room, | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
where he was comfortable. And being autistic and ADHD, | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
it's not easy for him. But everything around | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
could be better. Well, I would say it's | :20:17. | :20:35. | |
getting worse because if, after six weeks or that, | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
we are still in the hotel, unsure of our future, | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
we don't know where we are going, we don't know where | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
we are coming from. And a small cubicle in the hotel | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
room, day in, day out... It could be better, if things | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
were taken more seriously. Because it looks like it's charity | :21:03. | :21:11. | |
organisations that has If the Government has done | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
what they are supposed to do by now, A colleague of mine said to me | :21:15. | :21:23. | |
the first day, he said, And I looked and I thought, | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
actually, yeah, she is alive. Bu what I didn't realise - | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
and what most people don't realise - yes, they're alive, | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
but that's not it. I can't blame the nation thinking, | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
well, these people are getting They haven't got a penny of your | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
money yet, I can assure you that, We can speak to Councillor Kim | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
Taylor Smith, the newly elected Deputy Leader of Kensington | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
and Chelsea Council. Good morning to you. We are grateful | :21:57. | :22:10. | |
for your time, but do you know why we can't seem to get an interview | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
with the new leader? We operate as a team. Elizabeth has spent the last | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
40 days working very hard and she's got other things to do today, so | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
she's asked me to come along instead. OK. You were appointed last | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
night, effectively. Will you consider your resignation, as some | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
survivors and residents want you to? Know, actions speak louder than | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
words and I have stepped up to this task and it is a challenge. We have | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
a lot of people, who you have just been speaking to who are in hotels | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
in a desperate situation that we are trying to find accommodation within | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
North Kensington. We are one of the smallest borrowers in London and | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
that is a challenge. Yesterday, which was lost in last night's | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
meeting, we managed to acquire a block of 31 flats and housing which | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
means we have added 99 units to the stock and we are making those | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
available. Those will come on stream by the end of the week and we are | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
trying to get people out of the hotels. But we have to run at their | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
pace. This is an incredibly sensitive things. We have made 300 | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
housing offers and we have had 17 acceptances, which is a reflection | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
why we have to run at the pace of the residents. Some people don't | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
want to be in South Kensington, understandably. We have commissioned | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
a team of people to look at acquiring individual units in South | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
Kensington of the housing market in order to deliver this as quickly as | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
possible. We are using our reserves to do it and that is our priority, | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
my priority. I have taken on this job specifically the Grenfell Tower | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
and the regeneration of Grenfell Tower and to deal with this problem. | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
What about Elizabeth Campbell, is she considering her resignation as | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
some survivors and residents want? Again, similar to me, I obviously | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
know Elizabeth, I am a relatively new council, I was Elizabeth's | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
deputy in family services and she has tremendous capability and has | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
demonstrated tremendous bravery. Bravery? Taking this job on and the | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
mantle of being leader of the council in this environment. Last | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
night's meeting was no different to any other. That was brave? Yes, for | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
anybody to take on the role of leader of the Council, yes. I am | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
happy to support her, as is the rest of the team in order to make change. | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
Sushi is not considering resigning either? No. So many of the people | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
you are supposed to represent say they don't trust you. It is | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
completely understandable. It is a wider point. I know from the first | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
AI was on the West sorry Westway. People were being told to take off | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
their badges. It wasn't Kensington and Chelsea people, it was people | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
from the NHS. There is a lot of anger towards authority and that is | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
understandable. A lot of questions need to be answered. I don't think | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
it is appropriate. We have a council election in May next year and if we | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
don't deliver, clearly, we will be voted out. They feel you have failed | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
to deliver and that is why they don't trust you and why there were | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
calls for yours and your boss' resignation last night? I | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
understand, but we have two win that trust and actions speak louder than | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
words. In your new role, what is the first thing you will do today in | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
order to begin to try to rebuild the trust with the community? Yesterday | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
was completing on the acquisition of a building and the 31 units and | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
ensuring it was done quickly. And today will be making sure it is | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
delivered into the pipeline that is being made available to get people | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
out of hotels. My priority is to get people out of the hotels, it is | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
desperate for them and they have been living there for a month. It | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
has to be done and it has to be done very sensibly. The shortage of | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
immediate housing is my immediate priority. Long-term priority, in | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
ensuring we have social and affordable housing delivered. That | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
is part of our support. That is the second priority at the moment. I | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
have already done a scoping of the projects we have and the properties | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
we have, through in assessments, as to how they can be delivered and | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
changed back into social housing. He will have heard last night from | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
Elizabeth she has given a commitment to 400 properties over five years. | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
We oppositely hope to do that. Over five years? Yes, we are a small | :27:25. | :27:36. | |
borough. But you are a rich borough? Yes we are, and that helps in | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
sorting this problem out. This is what we are doing and we have called | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
for support externally, both from a working point of view. We only had | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
16 care workers, before the Grenfell fire we only had 100 in care, but | :27:52. | :27:58. | |
now we have more than double that in hotels. The scale of this is the | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
support. But recognising the change is the way to deal with this. That | :28:04. | :28:11. | |
is the best memorial for these poor people, sorry, the best memorial for | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
the victims of Grunfeld fire, not only a national change in the way | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
projects are being delivered, because there is 180 buildings that | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
have this cladding on. They all went through the same process we did. | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
There is fundamentally wrong and that will come out of the enquiry. | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
And as far as Kensington and Chelsea is concerned, there will be a change | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
in terms of the way we deliver social housing. Because we have made | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
mistakes, I will not sit here and say we haven't, but the important | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
thing is to change. Do you feel like you can speak for the dead? Well... | :28:48. | :28:58. | |
I am asking because you said the think the best memorial for the | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
people who died would be to change the way we approach social housing? | :29:02. | :29:08. | |
That is the personal view for me, the motivation to step up and take | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
this role. After the time I have spent in North Kensington, along | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
with everyone else, the best thing to do for me, that is the best thing | :29:17. | :29:23. | |
to do for me. If we look at the tower itself, it is a building which | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
is a stark reminder for the people having to live around that. What | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
happens with that as a site is something the community will have to | :29:33. | :29:39. | |
decide on. Not me. Do you feel you can speak for the survivors? Sorry? | :29:40. | :29:45. | |
Do you feel you can speak up for the survivors? I don't believe that is | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
my role, my role is to do with the solutions and the provision of | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
housing. I have taken on this as deputy leader, that is what I am | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
doing, not for speaking up for the survivors. It is representing and | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
trying to find solutions for the survivors, but I do believe that is | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
something I should be doing. Elizabeth Campbell, your leader, | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
said again last night, she was deeply sorry that the council | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
couldn't do more to help people when they needed it most. I 100% agree | :30:18. | :30:26. | |
with her. They still need help and for some people, it is getting | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
worse, as we reported yesterday, as time goes on, it is getting worse | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
for them. They still not getting the they need. | :30:36. | :30:42. | |
We are getting assistance from out of borough, to help to enable us to | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
do that, we will obviously work our hardest to try and deal with this. I | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
don't understand why it is taking this time though. You knew on day | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
two, the council was failing, I appreciate you weren't in that role, | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
but everybody could see that the council hadn't stepped up and we are | :31:01. | :31:06. | |
five weeks on. I was a backbencher when this happened and I am trying | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
to avoid going back and blaming people in the past, that is all part | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
of the inquiry, we have an inquiry, and a criminal inquiry going on here | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
and I will leave that for them. All I am trying to do is to look forward | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
and to find solution, for these people, because they are in | :31:23. | :31:26. | |
desperate need and you can see that from the meeting last night. Last | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
night's meeting again, we have responded, we will have more council | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
meetings, we have increased the number of meetings to eight. It is | :31:33. | :31:36. | |
not something we are running away and hiding. We will make the | :31:37. | :31:42. | |
meetings open, inviting people to speak, so far as issue of governance | :31:43. | :31:48. | |
and scrutiny, we have doubled the number of scrutineers and we will | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
reveal how the processes work, to ensure something like this doesn't | :31:53. | :31:54. | |
happen again. OK. Thank you very much for your | :31:55. | :32:01. | |
time this morning. Thank you. Kim Taylor Smith who is the | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
newly-elected deputy leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council. | :32:05. | :32:14. | |
There is concern over mental health care, it is not bad, we are here | :32:15. | :32:21. | |
later hearing from one trust that has been described as outstanding. | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
Also we'll be hearing from Vicky Balch, | :32:26. | :32:27. | |
who had part of her leg amputated in the horrific Alton | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
She says the trauma changed her life in an instant and two years on wants | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
more research funding into trauma which is one of the biggest causes | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of todays news. | :32:38. | :32:49. | |
The new leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council has been heckled | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
by furious residents of Grenfell Tower, | :32:53. | :32:53. | |
at the authority's first full meeting since the fire. | :32:54. | :32:55. | |
Elizabeth Campbell was told to resign, as she admitted | :32:56. | :32:57. | |
that the council needed to change fundamentally, if it was to regain | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
I am deeply sorry for the grief and trauma that you are suffering. | :33:01. | :33:14. | |
..that we did not do more to help you when you needed it the most. | :33:15. | :33:27. | |
One in three cases of dementia could be prevented if more people | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
looked after the health of their brain better | :33:31. | :33:32. | |
throughout their lives, according to new research. | :33:33. | :33:34. | |
An international study published in the Lancet | :33:35. | :33:35. | |
lists key risk factors - including lack of education, | :33:36. | :33:37. | |
hearing loss, smoking and social isolation. | :33:38. | :33:39. | |
Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :33:40. | :33:46. | |
The number of reported sexual offences on trains in the UK | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
has more than doubled in the last five years. | :33:50. | :33:51. | |
Figures obtained by BBC Radio 5Live found almost 1,500 offences | :33:52. | :33:54. | |
were reported to police in the year up to March this year. | :33:55. | :33:56. | |
That compares with 650 reports five years ago. | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
The rise is thought to be down to more people reporting offences. | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
Two years ago the British Transport Police launched an awareness | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
campaign to encourage more people to come forward if they'd | :34:05. | :34:06. | |
been sexually abused on public transport. | :34:07. | :34:19. | |
Concerns have been raised about the number of adult mental | :34:20. | :34:21. | |
health patients locked in rehabilitation wards in England. | :34:22. | :34:23. | |
The Care Quality Commission has said it's surprising | :34:24. | :34:25. | |
that there are around 3,500 beds in locked wards. | :34:26. | :34:30. | |
NHS England said big steps had been made in improving mental health care | :34:31. | :34:33. | |
with higher funding, but the health regulator said it | :34:34. | :34:35. | |
believed a "significant number" of patients had the capacity to live | :34:36. | :34:38. | |
A US judge has halted an auction of personal items from the singer | :34:39. | :34:48. | |
Madonna after she said they were stolen and violated her privacy. | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
The items - including underwear, a chequebook, hairbrush and photos - | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
One of the most anticipated items was a break-up letter from the late | :34:55. | :34:58. | |

in England are being left feeling "helpless and powerless" in a system | :36:18. | :36:21. | |

by the Care Quality Commission the body which monitors | :36:25. | :36:28. | |
and regulates services, Inspectors found a mental health | :36:29. | :36:29. | |
sector which is at a crossroads, with some services responding | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
positively to new challenges but with others risking people left | :36:33. | :36:34. | |
feeling helpless and "powerless". Inspectors were also concerned | :36:35. | :36:36. | |
about the number of patients being locked in rehabilitation units | :36:37. | :36:38. | |
as they are trying to recover and as more and more people | :36:39. | :36:41. | |
are trying to access mental health care concern is growing that people | :36:42. | :36:44. | |
risk receiving care that is not good Let's talk to BBC health | :36:45. | :36:47. | |
reporter Smitha Mundasad about the impact of this report | :36:48. | :36:50. | |
and the CQC's findings. Ow Jersey with two teenage stages to | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
go. His overall lead 27 seconds after two days in the Alps which | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
continue today with the crucial summit finish. More after ten. | :36:59. | :37:00. | |
Fill us in on more detail. It's a big report This is the first time | :37:01. | :37:03. | |
they have looked in detail at all specialist mental Health Services in | :37:04. | :37:05. | |
England. They say there are some seens for optimism, for example the | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
vast majority of wards, staff were treating patients with care and | :37:11. | :37:13. | |
compassion, with dignity and respect, but some real causes of | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
concern, one at the top of the list was as you mentioned, there were | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
3500 locked rehabilitation beds across the country, they say it is | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
50 years since asylum type places have been moved to be established, | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
yet they were surprised to find this, they say it isn't a model fit | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
for the 21st century. Their key concern if it is rehabilitation | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
these patients should be having, surely they should be moving towards | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
home, but instead they found that people were waiting hundreds of days | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
on average 341 days in these facilities the and almost they were | :37:49. | :37:52. | |
become being the patients' home. They want people back in to the | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
community. There are other main concern was safety. They found in | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
over a ird this of Thuses they needed to be improvements in safety, | :38:00. | :38:04. | |
and in one in 20 they were deemed inadequate. That means there might | :38:05. | :38:07. | |
be immediate concerns for patient safety. One example they gave is old | :38:08. | :38:13. | |
build, where there might be blind spots in corridors so they couldn't | :38:14. | :38:18. | |
monitor patient, say they were at risk of self-harm, they were worried | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
about a lack in nursing staff and putting all that together, they said | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
they did have some concerns about safety in particular. | :38:26. | :38:27. | |
Let's talk to Dr Caroline Hacker, head of policy | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
at the Care Quality Commission, Alice Mitchell, who has a number | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
of mental health issues but has not been able to access the help | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
she needs, Professor Joy Duxbury from the University | :38:37. | :38:38. | |
of Central Lancashire specialising in mental health restraint, | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
and Evri Anagnostara, a mental health nurse and member of | :38:41. | :38:42. | |
the Mental Health Nurses Association. | :38:43. | :39:01. | |
Build, where there might be blind spots in corridors so they couldn't | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
monitor patient, say they were at risk of self-harm, they were worried | :39:06. | :39:08. | |
about a lack in nursing staff and putting all that together, they said | :39:09. | :39:10. | |
they did have some concerns about safety in particular. | :39:11. | :39:12. | |
Thank you. Tell us about the good practise you have seen. So, in | :39:13. | :39:14. | |
services where we have seen good practise, we find services that are | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
very much focussed on the patient and trying to support the patient to | :39:18. | :39:20. | |
recover. We found challenges across. Sorry, if you are not focussing on | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
the patient what are mental health professionals doing? One of the | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
challenges we have highlighted in third report, is services that have | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
an outdated model of care. We found some patients that were | :39:33. | :39:48. | |
locked in rehabilitation wards. They weren't being treated by staff who | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
had the right skill set to enable these patients to have the therapy | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
they needed. We were concerned many patients could have been treated in | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
a less restrictive environment and closer to their home. | :40:01. | :40:11. | |
It is lack of training? Absolutely, so what we found was that it is a | :40:12. | :40:17. | |
system that is under pressure. As you said, more people are accessing | :40:18. | :40:23. | |
services, there are an issue with waiting times, we found that | :40:24. | :40:27. | |
buildings were not always fit for purpose, so we have staff that is in | :40:28. | :40:34. | |
our report we found were caring and compassionate but were operating | :40:35. | :40:35. | |
under difficult services. You admitted yourself to hospital as | :40:36. | :40:43. | |
I understand it because you were having suicidingle thoughts and you | :40:44. | :40:46. | |
say you left hospital feeling worse than when you went in. How is that | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
possible? I took myself in as a last resort. Everything I had don in my | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
first recovery didn't work third time. I thought I'm in a different | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
head space, in the place to look for support to get myself better. I went | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
in and I was sitting in the waiting room for 23 hours, no-one knew I was | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
there, let alone what my case was, I could have walk out and jumped done | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
air bus and no-one would have known. So you were trying to access help | :41:17. | :41:19. | |
and, even though you were in the right place it was not forthcoming I | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
said I can't trust myself to be alone, I feel like I could end it | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
any way and no-one batted an eyelid. Do you mean that? No-one? There are | :41:29. | :41:35. | |
some brilliant... Medics as we know I was shoved into a it waiting room. | :41:36. | :41:41. | |
It took me nine hours to get seen by anyone, then I got five minutes face | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
time, then I was put in another waiting room. Then I was transferred | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
without any explanation or reason why. I was there, overnight, just in | :41:50. | :41:55. | |
a waiting room, no-one telling me anything. Luckily I had my friend | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
with me, otherwise I wouldn't have made it through. It was exhausting, | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
and, shattering, and, heartbreaking, the fact I could be treated so | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
badly, there was people coming in with physical illnesses that were | :42:09. | :42:11. | |
being seen straightaway and I was there for 23 hours and saw nothing. | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
The result I got in the end was I could have goen to my doctor and got | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
the same thing within ten minutes. Let me bring in Joy. You have | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
specialised in the area of mental health restraint. It is one of the | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
things in the report today that shows there are big variations in | :42:29. | :42:32. | |
how frequently staff use physical restraint to cope with challenging | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
behaviour, tell us a bit about the data you have collected from round | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
the country on how much restraint is being used. Yes, good morning. Well, | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
largely we have collected data largely in the north-west of | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
England. We have completed a large project, and with have seen third | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
variation as Mind reported back in 2000, when they found a Sinn Fein | :42:55. | :42:57. | |
can't variation in the use of physical restraint. Part of the | :42:58. | :43:00. | |
problem is to do with the reporting of restraint in the UK, we have | :43:01. | :43:07. | |
great difficulty in, I think both defining and collating the correct | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
information so we have the right statistics in front of us. | :43:11. | :43:14. | |
OK. And what do you think about the report today, which says it is still | :43:15. | :43:19. | |
being used too much, in some area of the country. I would agree with | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
that, it is most definitely still a significant issue for us, we have | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
made huge progress, I think in the UK in trying to minimise the use of | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
restrictive interventions, namely things like restraint and physical | :43:34. | :43:36. | |
restraint and there is lots of directives for people to follow and | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
guidelines and tool kits but at the end of the day we are under | :43:41. | :43:45. | |
resourced as you mentioned, there are problems with some of the | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
environments that staff are in, there is high ratio of staff | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
sickness at times and there is a particular issue with difficult | :43:54. | :43:56. | |
problems with leadership, in some of these organisations. OK. Hello. | :43:57. | :44:04. | |
Morning to you. At least 6700 mental health nurses have been cut since | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
the Conservatives came into power in 2010. Mrs May did promise by 2020 | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
there will be 10,000 more staff working in mental health treatment | :44:14. | :44:20. | |
in England. How much of an impact has that reduction had on treating | :44:21. | :44:27. | |
patients well? I think as a mental health nurse we are very worried | :44:28. | :44:33. | |
that we have more or less a 20% reduction in mental health nurses in | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
the last seven year, or so. It is 12%. 12% actually. 12%, and we have | :44:38. | :44:45. | |
an increasing population that access services. So, yes, there is, we have | :44:46. | :44:56. | |
serious concern about the loss of bursary, the increasing stress, the | :44:57. | :45:03. | |
lack of research in terms of mental health nursing access, it is true | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
that the mental health nurses are spread thinly across services, and | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
of course, due the nature of our business, in terms of taking time to | :45:14. | :45:20. | |
care, listen, understand the problems that patients are coming | :45:21. | :45:27. | |
to, to us with, the relationship bidding, it takes a lot of time, and | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
unfortunately, with lack of resource, we don't have as much time | :45:34. | :45:35. | |
as we would like to. If the government delivers on this | :45:36. | :45:50. | |
promise of 10,000 extra staff, would it make a difference if it is | :45:51. | :45:55. | |
possible to recruit those staff in time? It would make a slight | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
difference, but we need about 40,000 extra nurses to help with current | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
circumstances and caseloads. So any increase will be welcomed by us. | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
However, we are concerned that probably this is not going to | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
happen, with the change in the education system. I am wondering | :46:16. | :46:22. | |
what is the real plan in terms of, where will these 10,000 nurses come | :46:23. | :46:29. | |
from? OK, let me bring Alice back in. From your experience as a | :46:30. | :46:34. | |
patient and the lack of care he received on the occasion you | :46:35. | :46:36. | |
described earlier, what is the one thing you would say the politicians, | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
to mental health professionals about what is needed? I understand they | :46:41. | :46:47. | |
are strained and there is a lack of resources because there are so many | :46:48. | :46:50. | |
different issues they need to focus on. But mental health patients and | :46:51. | :46:56. | |
improving services should be at the top of the list. We're not talking | :46:57. | :47:01. | |
about education, we are talking about saving lives. Would you agree | :47:02. | :47:08. | |
with that? The NHS five-year forward view recognises a lot of the | :47:09. | :47:11. | |
challenges we found on our inspection programme and have a plan | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
in place where all system partners must come together to address the | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
concerns we found. Doesn't mean it is going to happen. For a number of | :47:20. | :47:24. | |
years we have been saying we will put mental health in this country on | :47:25. | :47:29. | |
a par with physical health. A lot of people have yet to see it in | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
practice consistently across the country? This is the first reports | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
of where we have a baseline of what the specialist mental health service | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
is like across the country. We have uncovered some great practice and | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
some innovative work being done. We have found some outstanding, | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
world-class services, in east London, for example. It is important | :47:54. | :47:58. | |
we don't lose sight of that, but you are right, there is too much | :47:59. | :48:00. | |
variation and that is not good enough. Thank you very much all of | :48:01. | :48:10. | |
you and we will be hearing from some of the people who work at the mental | :48:11. | :48:13. | |
health trust that has been rated as outstanding just after 10am as this | :48:14. | :48:21. | |
report outlines the compassionate and caring staff, but we know there | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
is more to do and that is why we are undertaking one of the widespread | :48:26. | :48:30. | |
mental have programmes in Europe, with an inspection regime and ?1 | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
billion worth of more investment for mental health by 2020. Thank you for | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
your e-mails about the situation at Grenfell. The Kensington and Chelsea | :48:41. | :48:47. | |
Borough Council new appointments. This e-mail says, it is time to get | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
real with the Grenfell situation. No council could cope with such a | :48:53. | :48:56. | |
disaster. Central government should be in control. This could have been | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
any council in the UK with tower blocks. They are nearly all built | :49:02. | :49:07. | |
the same. There are no suitable properties for Grenfell residents | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
and that is why they were offered elsewhere. This constant sniping at | :49:12. | :49:19. | |
Kensington Council is making me angry. Ruth says, we have just | :49:20. | :49:25. | |
switched Ueberroth, Victoria, you have become sensationalist, is it | :49:26. | :49:31. | |
right to challenge anyone who says he speaks for the dead. Another | :49:32. | :49:38. | |
e-mail says, people need new homes, and all of the survivors are going | :49:39. | :49:44. | |
through the spectrum of pain and anger and no assistance, with all | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
their psychological scars, will help. Thank you for those, please | :49:48. | :49:49. | |
keep them coming. This innocuous-looking advert | :49:50. | :49:52. | |
offering support to women going through the menopause | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
is banned by Facebook - but why? We'll be speaking to the group | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
who placed the advert and hear Facebook's reasons for taking it | :50:01. | :50:03. | |
down - that's in about Vicky Balch - who was rescued | :50:04. | :50:05. | |
from the Alton Towers roller-coaster crash - | :50:06. | :50:17. | |
tells this programme that the trauma She's helping a campaign to raise | :50:18. | :50:19. | |
money for research into trauma, which is when you have any kind | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
of serious physical injury, right the way through from a fall to a car | :50:24. | :50:26. | |
crash or being stabbed or shot. Trauma kills 46 people | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
every day in the UK, according to the Transform Trauma | :50:31. | :50:32. | |
campaign, making it one of the biggest causes of death | :50:33. | :50:35. | |
and disability in the UK, but less than 1% of medical research | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
funding is spent in this area. The campaign is being run | :50:41. | :50:45. | |
by Barts Charity, which supports a number of hospitals in London, | :50:46. | :50:48. | |
including Royal London, We'll speak to Vicky | :50:49. | :50:50. | |
again in a moment. We first spoke to her in her first | :50:51. | :51:00. | |
ever interview back in 2015, a few months after the accident, | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
an accident which led The carriage in which she was | :51:05. | :51:06. | |
strapped crashed into a stationary She was sitting alongside her friend | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
Dan and described what happened. You might find some of the details | :51:11. | :51:16. | |
upsetting, and if there are children around on school holidays you may | :51:17. | :51:19. | |
not want them to listen. I remember it going into my knees | :51:20. | :51:36. | |
and it hurt. The pain, it was indescribable, it hurt so much. As I | :51:37. | :51:42. | |
am talking about it, I can still feel how it did feel, just as if it | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
just crashed into my legs. It was horrible, so the first time it did | :51:48. | :51:55. | |
impact, I was conscious. We did it a second time, and I cannot tell you | :51:56. | :52:01. | |
how many times we impacted on it, because I fainted. It was Dan who | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
was screaming my name to try and wake me up to see if I was OK. I | :52:06. | :52:11. | |
never thought I would walk again. Did you look down at your jeans? | :52:12. | :52:17. | |
Yes, they were ripped and there was just blood pouring out of this knee | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
and I could see it dripping the entire time. It was horrible. I | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
could see tissue in front of me, I don't know whose it was, but it was | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
horrible. I could see it ripped and I could see how far it went into my | :52:32. | :52:33. | |
knee and it went far. It was scary. As well as Vicky, we can talk | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
to Professor Karim Brohi, a consultant trauma surgeon | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
at the Royal London Hospital and director of the Centre | :52:42. | :52:43. | |
of Trauma Sciences at Barts And we can also talk | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
to Ben Clarke, who is a medic. He helped Vicky off | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
the roller-coaster and visited her The your recovery and rehab? Getting | :52:51. | :53:08. | |
there. Give the audience a bit of insight into what has happened over | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
the last 18 months? It has been full on rehabilitation, a lot of | :53:15. | :53:17. | |
appointments and it is getting through that at the moment, really. | :53:18. | :53:24. | |
Mentally? How do you feel? I am OK, I went through a rough patch | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
recently, but I am getting better now. I remember from back then, you | :53:28. | :53:36. | |
are saying, I am OK, OK. That is what you do? I was OK, I thought I | :53:37. | :53:40. | |
was OK and then things change and it gets to you in different ways. The | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
more you do, the more you learn how it does affect my life. How does it | :53:46. | :53:52. | |
affect your life now? Everything, really. I know I can still do pretty | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
much everything I used to, I have just got to do it in different ways. | :53:58. | :54:03. | |
What is so radically different, can you give me an example? Is just | :54:04. | :54:10. | |
everyday, I put my leg on, and I have to take it off, and it is more | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
annoying than anything because if I haven't got my crutches with me, it | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
is taking my leg on and off and it gets a bit annoying. Tell us why | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
this campaign is important to you? Obviously I have been through trauma | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
myself and I know people who have been through trauma. So the amount | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
of care I have received and other people, it could have gone | :54:35. | :54:36. | |
completely different and the amount of research funding goes towards | :54:37. | :54:41. | |
trauma, considering it is the biggest killer and the biggest cause | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
of disability, I think it is actually quite ridiculous. It is | :54:46. | :54:52. | |
such a big thing, but nobody knows anything about it. What it's trauma, | :54:53. | :54:58. | |
how would you describe it, professor? It is often misconstrued, | :54:59. | :55:03. | |
as Vicky has said. But essentially it is being injured and then the | :55:04. | :55:07. | |
consequences of those injuries which encapsulates both physical and | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
mental consequences for most victims. This figure of less than 1% | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
of research going into trauma is an astonishingly tiny amount, why is | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
that? It is hard to fathom, but I think primarily the awareness isn't | :55:24. | :55:27. | |
there that being hit by a car, being a cyclist who comes off your | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
bicycle, being a kid who is run over in the street, being stabbed and | :55:33. | :55:38. | |
shot, the same things in terms of your body. Only considered in that | :55:39. | :55:43. | |
round, if you like, does it become such a big killer and a big problem | :55:44. | :55:46. | |
and many people don't equate that. If it is not the public thinking | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
that, it is not the politicians thinking that? What do you want the | :55:51. | :55:58. | |
money specifically for? Essentially, it is to make people survive, make | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
more people survive their injuries and make them survive better. To | :56:04. | :56:08. | |
save their legs, when they can be saved. Save more legs for people to | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
make them better in terms of the problems they face, to understand | :56:13. | :56:19. | |
the problems they face in terms of their mental problems afterwards and | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
physical rehabilitation. And to generally primed the whole of the | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
awareness campaign, so this isn't just a short-term thing but | :56:29. | :56:31. | |
something that will proceed into the future. Ben, good morning. Thank you | :56:32. | :56:38. | |
for coming on the programme. Your role in Vicky's recovery was | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
phenomenal, what do you recall about that day when you helped her of the | :56:44. | :56:49. | |
roller coasters? It is a very unique job. I have never seen anything like | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
it, and I doubt I will see anything like it again. But it is my job, my | :56:55. | :57:00. | |
job is to problem solve, deal with patients, deal with situations as | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
quickly as I can in order to help these patients. It is just my job, | :57:05. | :57:10. | |
the job of everybody who was there. I understand. Tell us what your job | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
involved on that day? When I arrived, it was very, very clear we | :57:17. | :57:23. | |
needed to get up to the patients. Obviously, high above the ground, | :57:24. | :57:25. | |
get them away as quickly as we could. But the problem being, access | :57:26. | :57:32. | |
was high up, very, very confined space and a structure we have never | :57:33. | :57:36. | |
dealt with before, no one has had to put people out of a roller-coaster. | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
So technically very challenging, using all the equipment the Fire | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
Service had, using all the people we had, all the teams we have. So very, | :57:46. | :57:50. | |
very technically difficult job. Took a lot of time, but we pulled | :57:51. | :57:55. | |
together, we improvised, we managed to get these people out and keep | :57:56. | :58:01. | |
them all alive. Vicky, describe how important Ben has been to you? He | :58:02. | :58:07. | |
has been amazing. Even just being on the rider and he shouldn't have been | :58:08. | :58:12. | |
without the safety harnesses. He was told, amongst others, they shouldn't | :58:13. | :58:15. | |
have got up there, but they did to save our lives and do the best they | :58:16. | :58:21. | |
could. I remember having him in front of me shouting instructions | :58:22. | :58:23. | |
down and telling people underneath what he was doing. It was having | :58:24. | :58:29. | |
that support and knowing he is still supporting me two years on means an | :58:30. | :58:33. | |
awful lot. He doesn't have to do that, but he still does. I am not | :58:34. | :58:40. | |
sure people realise, Ben, NHS professionals go beyond their job in | :58:41. | :58:44. | |
the kind of friendships and the support you have given to Vicky | :58:45. | :58:50. | |
since. Why have you done that? Throughout the whole NHS, staff | :58:51. | :58:55. | |
always go above and beyond. You know, the NHS almost runs on the | :58:56. | :58:59. | |
goodwill of its staff and all over the country, there are people like | :59:00. | :59:03. | |
me who do follow patients and keep in touch with families and support | :59:04. | :59:06. | |
people. It is quite common for people to look out for people this | :59:07. | :59:11. | |
far after an incident. The other thing you have been talking about is | :59:12. | :59:21. | |
education and research. A doctor told me while I was a trainee, if | :59:22. | :59:24. | |
you don't go and see all of your patients afterwards, six hours after | :59:25. | :59:27. | |
an operation, 12 hours, a month, a week after, you will learn if you | :59:28. | :59:31. | |
are doing the right things. By keeping in contact with Vicky and | :59:32. | :59:34. | |
numerous other patients, I am learning what I can do differently, | :59:35. | :59:40. | |
what I can do better next time. You know, Vicky has come up to me in the | :59:41. | :59:44. | |
past and said, do you remember I was doing this, why did that happen? I | :59:45. | :59:50. | |
could say to her, this is what we were doing and maybe next time I | :59:51. | :59:54. | |
should have explained to you, and that is understood. They get the | :59:55. | :00:00. | |
opportunity to ask questions and then I will think about it and do it | :00:01. | :00:05. | |
differently next time. Thank you very much to all of you. Very nice | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
to see you again. Good luck with the campaign. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
Cut back your tomb at work or pay more, that is what faces parents | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
this summer. Are you worrieded about your situation through the school | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
holidays? We will talk about it later. Now the weather. It is an | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
improving Dr Foi many, we have heavy bursts of rain, through parts of | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
northern and eastern Scotland. A drown pour to come, and that remain | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
-- remain in the far north of Scotland. Suppy spells elsewhere but | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
a temperatures down on cent day, into tonight, we will see the rain | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
linger in northern Scotland, there will be some showers across Wales, | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
the south-west, but then this lurking behind me, something more | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
sinister as we head into Friday. Not a desperately chilly start. Cool | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
through the countryside in Scotland, but as we go through Friday, the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
wetter weather across the west will be affecting Northern Ireland, Wales | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
and south-west England, bursts of heavy rain, strong to gale force | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
wends. Away from that across the rest of England and Scotland, only | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
one or two isolated showers. Temperatures maybe a bit higher than | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
they are today. A quick peak into the weekend and we will see that low | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
pressure system. On Saturday it looks cloudy with longer spells of | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
rain but sunshine and showers to the south of that, some of the showers | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
on the heavy side. Enjoy your day. Hello, it's Thursday, it's 10 | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire. Calls to resign for the newly | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
elected leader of kensington and chelsea council at her | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
first cabinet meeting. Survivors of the Grenfell Tower | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
tragedy heckled and booed Elizabeth Campbell as she was trying | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
to address the chamber. Her deputy tells this programme | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
a change in approach is needed We believe that working together, | :02:01. | :02:13. | |
and changing, recognising that change is the way to deal with this. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
That for me is the pest memorial for these poor people, sorry, I glies | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
the word poor, best memorial for the victims. Do you feel like you can | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
speak for the dead? You know, how... I am simply asking because you said | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
you think the best memorial for the people who died would be to change | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
the way we approach social housing etc? That is a personal view, for | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
me, that is what has given me the motivation to step up and take this | :02:47. | :02:47. | |
motivation to step up and take this role on. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
How lifestyle changes could ward off dementia - | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
new research says one in three cases could be prevented. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
We'll speak to a scientist behind the report. | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
And an auction of several of Madonna's personal items has been | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
halted after the pop star said her privacy was violated. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
The objects include the singer's underwear, chequebook and this | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
break-up letter from the late rapper Tupac | :03:14. | :03:31. | |
Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of todays news. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
Thank you. Good morning. The new leader of Kensington an Chelsea | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
council has been heckled by furious residents of Grenfell Tower at the | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
first full meeting sips the fire. Elizabeth Campbell was told to | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
resign as she admitted that the council needed to change | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
fundamentally if it was to regain the trust of the community. . No | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
ifs, no but, no excuses. Go. I am deeply sorry for the grief and | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
trauma you are suffering. I am deeply sorry... That we did not do | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
more to help you when you needed it the most. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
One in three cases of dementia could be prevented if more people | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
looked after the health of their brain better | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
throughout their lives, according to new research. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
An international study published in the Lancet | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
lists key risk factors - including lack of education, | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
The number of reported sexual offences on trains in the UK | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
has more than doubled in the last five years. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
Figures obtained by BBC Radio 5Live found almost 1,500 offences | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
were reported to police in the year up to March this year. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
That compares with 650 reports five years ago. | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
The rise is thought to be down to more people reporting offences. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Two years ago the British Transport Police launched an awareness | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
campaign to encourage more people to come forward if they'd | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
been sexually abused on public transport. | :05:05. | :05:19. | |
Crimes reported to police in England and Wales have increased by 10% | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
Reported violence was the biggest increase - up by 18% - | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
followed by robbery on 16% and sex offences on 14%. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Car crime and burglary were also up. | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
Concerns have been raised about the number of adult mental | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
health patients locked in rehabilitation wards in England. | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
The Care Quality Commission has said it's surprising | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
that there are around 3,500 beds in locked wards. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
NHS England said big steps had been made in improving mental health care | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
with higher funding, but the health regulator said it | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
believed a "significant number" of patients had the capacity to live | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
A US judge has halted an auction of personal items from the singer | :05:48. | :05:59. | |
Madonna after she said they were stolen and violated her privacy. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
The items - including underwear, a chequebook, hairbrush and photos - | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
One of the most anticipated items was a break-up letter from the late | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
rapper Tupac Shakur, written to Madonna | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
A full hearing has been set for September. | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10.30. | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
I wanted to tank you for raising this subject, and not letting anyone | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
get away with giving you flannel answer, I have depression and | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
anxiety and after ten years I have finally found the correct medication | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
and a brilliant GP to help. This subject needs hammering on the | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
telly, never let go until things changed. Thank you for your support. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
More messages on mental health experiences. I will read them in the | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
next hour. Now the sport. The rain has moved away, | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
but it's still a pretty tricky first day at the 146th Open at Royal | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Birkdale. Two Englishmen are | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
currently leading. So let's go to Karthi Gnanasegaram | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
who's at the course for us. How are they getting on? Yes, two | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
Englishman the top of the leader board. It is still windy as you can | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
tell from my hair, but it is not as wet as it was first thing this | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
morning and it was a previous open champion from Birkdale who has the | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
honour of starting things off here at the 146th Open Championship, but | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
because of the conditionings at the time, didn't go particularly well | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
for him on that first hole. He had a triple bogey eight on the first hole | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
you could tell how difficult it was going to be, rain and wind at that | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
point. Things did improve though, and Ian Poulter was one of those, | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
the Englishman who has had a lot of injury and out of form problems this | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
year, but coming back in to form and he has two birdies to start in the | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
second and fourth holes but then he ended up in a bunker on the seventh | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
hole. He is still at the top of the leaderboard, and he is a long side | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
an English amateur by the name of Alfie Plant. He is 25 and qualified | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
as a European amateur champion. He is having a great first hole. He | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
birdied that which putted him at the top the leaderboard. Things changing | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
as the conditions go through the day, they will brighten up and get | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
less windy. Those later will have fun with that. In a few minutes we | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
have Tommy Fleetwood, playing here at Birkdale, a club where he used to | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
wander on and try and hit a few balls when he was a youngster, just | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
sneaking on to the course, but we can hear a bit of this hole. Alfie | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Plant on the green, I wonder if that is him doing well. Let us look at | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
the leaderboard which has the names like Darren Clark on there, a | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
champion of the open from 2011, also Padraig Harrington, 2007 and 2008 he | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
won the open, back-to-back and in 2008 it was at berk day. That is the | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
situation at the moment. Moment. Tommy Fleetwood teeing off in the | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
next couple of minutes. We will keep you updated. | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
You can follow that on the radio. The coverage has just begin. | :09:24. | :09:24. | |
Mark Sampson claims his England team can get better even | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
after their biggest win at a major tournament. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
Their 6-0 win over Scotland in their opening match | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
of the women's European Championship also included the first hattrick | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
sealed when she scored England's fourth shortly after half time. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
Also goals from Ellen white, Jordan Nobbs. | :09:41. | :09:41. | |
And with the last touch of the match from the new Barcelona | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Scotland take on Portugal next, whilst England play Spain on Sunday. | :09:45. | :09:58. | |
A lot of people are aware we have an opportunity to win this Championship | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
with quality we have got. We will do what we do, manage it in house, make | :10:06. | :10:15. | |
sure we get the right talk. These players are confident players, I am | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
proud of when I watched them walk on the feed, they felt like they | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
deserved to be here, they want to be here, this is the stage for them. | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
The pressure is great. The more pressure the better we perform. | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
That is all the sport for now. Reported and recorded sexual | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
offences on trains have more than doubled over | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
the past five years. Figures obtained by BBC | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
5Live Investigates from the British Transport Police showed | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
a total of 1,448 offences Scotland and Wales in | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
the year up to this March. That's on trains and | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
the London Underground. The rise is thought to be down | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
to more people reporting offences, but if you spend a lot of time | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
on trains or the tube - then you might be surprised | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
at how low they sound. Anecdotally, people say it | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
happens all the time. So are people still | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
reluctant to come forward? Let's talk now to Jessica Brady, | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
who was sexually assaulted Her attacker was eventually | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
given a prison sentence. She has waived her right | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
to anonymity to talk to us today. Rachel Krys is from | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
the charity End Violence. Thank you for coming on the | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
programme. Jessica, good morning. Good morning. Tell our audience what | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
happened to you on the Tube in March 2015. OK, I was travelling back | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
quite late on the evening, and I sat across from a gentleman who got on | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
at bat ham tube station, he came up behind me and put his hand on my | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
bottom. I thought it was an accident at first, then got off the train, | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
and he pursued me through the tunnel to the escalator and was saying | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
things like you have a beautiful face, I like it and put his hand on | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
my bottom. At that point I needed to get out the station, so I ran up the | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
escalator, to which I saw he was right behind me, following me, and | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
then, wedged myself into the queue inside and he put his hand on my | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
bottom. Wedged himself behind me. Was chatting up me saying thing I | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
don't really remember until we departed ways at the exit of the | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
tube station. What did you think about what he was | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
doing? Well, to be honest I wasn't sure what has happened. I didn't | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
know whether it was like an accident, whether I had sort of | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
dreamed the whole thing, it was a strange experience because I had | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
never experienced anything like that before, but obviously I was pretty | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
terrified because I thought this is so out of my comfort zone. I haven't | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
really been in London that long, and then I was like no, I've made the | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
wrong decision, I need to go back home, but that was the instant | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
reaction, know knowing what happened. When you had time to | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
reflect? Well, it was only after I went home and spoke to my mum, | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
because it was late at night. Half 12 in the morning by that point, I | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
said exactly what had happened and she said you need to phone the | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
police, that is sexual assault. I was like, all right. OK. I phoned my | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
mum, sorry phoned British Transport Police, and they were really really | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
quick to sort of get the ball rolling and get this guy caught. So | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
yes. He was indeed caught. We will come back to the conviction in a | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
moment. I want to bring in Rachel. This is a rise over five year, some | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
people say the figures are still too low what is your view? It is a rise | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
but have seen a lot of campaigns by British Transport Police and TFL in | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
London to try and encourage reporting, and we know that when | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
women do report and the police deal with it well, you can see an | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
increase in conviction, but it is the tip of the iceberg, we have | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
heard all day today, women talking about their experiences and you | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
know, you and I know if you travel round in London or anywhere in the | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
UK, there are predatory men, doing this, and we have to, there has to | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
be more than just encouraging women to report, we have to as a society | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
decide that this is not a way we want to treat women when they going | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
to work or out with their friend, we should be free to move about as | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
enough as anyone else, this is stopping us. I have a number of | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
messages from people who it has happened to. This is going to go | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
into detail so I am letting you know you may not want children to listen | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
to this. This is from Lynn who says a young woman in my team at work | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
travels to work by bus, a young man travelled on the same bus for part | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
of the kurn Egyptian started to make conversation, my colleague felt | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
uncomfort. Finally he sat next to her and masturbated inside his | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
trousers, we reported this to the local police station, we were told | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
it was not an offence. I would like to know whether this information was | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
correct because I was as I mazed by what we were told. -- amazed. It was | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
It was a disturbing e pence and we want to see the police treating | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
these reports seriously. That means the police officers need to be | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
trained in what sexual assault and harassment is and it means that when | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
women go forward they need to be treated well, they need to be given | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
more help, they also need to be given more support, they might need | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
counselling after that, what we do know is people don't intervene, we | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
spoke to some women last year, we did a piece of research, only 11% | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
said any bystander intervene when they were being sexually harassed. | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
That could be because it is sometimes it is done discreetly on a | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
packed train and as Jessica stated, you are not really sure what you is | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
going on. That is the problem. We with are told this has to be | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
expected and in a way you should suck it up as a woman. No-one says | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
that, not any more. This is the message women and girls still hear? | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
Who says that? Who says that? I think society says it. When | :16:09. | :16:23. | |
perpetrators get away with this again and again, nobody intervenes, | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
it is saying the perpetrators that it is OK and they keep getting away | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
with it. Transport for London did use their CCTV to look out for | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
harassment. Some predatory men were using the transport system to hunt | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
women and they would get on and off trains until they found a woman they | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
wanted to assault. When you train operatives to spot back, they can | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
intervene more quickly and send staff around. The other concern is | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
where you are seeing fewer staff on platforms and in stations. It sends | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
the message that women are on their own. Jessica, what was your | :17:05. | :17:13. | |
perpetrator's punishment? He got six months. He was charged on three | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
separate occasions he assaulted me. It was six months in total. He got | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
seven years on the sex offenders register and he has to carry a | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
registered Oyster card with him at all times. Six months in jail? Yes. | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
How did you feel about that? It was the best I could have hoped for, he | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
got what he deserved and it set a precedent. Well worth contacting | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
British Transport Police. Thank you both for speaking to others and | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Jessica for waving your anonymity to speak to others. | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
Still to come, we will be looking at ways you can prevent getting | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
dementia. It is not stuff like doing crosswords from an early age. | :18:10. | :18:39. | |
This programme has learned that Facebook has banned an advert | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
from the group Menopause Support for a workshop to help women | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
The site blocked this paid-for ad for the workshop offering advice | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
on how to deal with symptoms of the menopause, including loss | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
of libido, flagging it as going against its advertising | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
rules on adult, sexually suggestive or explicit content. | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
When the group questioned the ban, Facebook said. | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
"We don't allow adverts that promote libido-enhancing | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
We can speak to Diane Danzebrink from Menopause Support who placed | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
the Facebook advert and says she's been left completely baffled. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
And Luc Delany used to work for Facebook and Google who can tell | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
us a bit about what the thinking behind the ban might have been. | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
It was a paid for Facebook advertisements, they review it | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
before it goes live. Tell us a bit more about it? It was an advert I | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
put up on the menopause support page and Facebook prompted me to boost it | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
three or four times. On Sunday, I thought I would. I think they do | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
that to make money. Absolutely, essentially it is a workshop for | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
women and men, if they want to come into it as well, talking about | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
menopause, the symptoms, how individual symptoms can be, what the | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
choices are for dealing with those symptoms, if you want to do anything | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
about it. About lifestyle, well-being except. It included the | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
phrase loss of libido. And that was what they reviewed. They said you | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
cannot do this because? They gave me the opportunity to appeal, so I | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
appealed it. That was on Sunday evening. Then on Wednesday lunchtime | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
I got a reply to say not going ahead because it has the word libido in | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
it. Just because it had the word libido in it? Yes. Even though you | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
weren't promoting a libido enhancing product, which is against their | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
guidelines? Know, and Luke might be able to tell us, but it looked to me | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
as though somebody had gone into the original ad and read it because it | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
was from a person. It was from a man called Christopher. A human being! | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
What is going on here? There are human beings at Facebook. The | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
regulation of advertising, particularly around medical products | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
is sensitive. There is a practice around self-regulation around | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
advertising that applies to all media, not just online but | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
television and print. There are set government regulation around medical | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
products, medical devices and medical services. If you want to | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
promote anything that is a licensed medical product or service, you have | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
to apply to Facebook. But that isn't what we are talking about here. No, | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
it is a workshop. But it is on the spectrum and they have gone with | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
caution. This is clearly a well-intentioned, positive | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
promotion, there are as many quacks and we have all had a history of | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
e-mails offering us libido enhancing products and so they simply come | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
down on the side of caution. Maybe overcautious in this instance, but | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
that is the thinking behind it. We tried to contact Facebook and asked | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
for an interview, but we haven't heard back. If Diane at a loss of | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
sex life, would it still had been a red flag? It depends, maybe case by | :22:18. | :22:27. | |
case, but typically anything to do with sexual issues, medical issues, | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
they will err on the side of caution. You can have your page, you | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
can say what you like. But when it comes to paid content, regulation | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
kicks in. You'd have to ask, would this ad also be allowed on broadcast | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
media and print media because the same standards apply. Do you accept | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
that, Diane? I accept Luke's explanation, and I know what you're | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
saying about advertising and pages, but if I go on to Facebook and they | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
put on libido enhancing, I get up all sorts of pages, posts and ads. | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
Do you get ads? Are, pages and pose. But pages promoting products. The | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
other thing about the advertising is, Facebook tell us the advertising | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
is very specific, so you choose your criteria and the thing that it has | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
brought up for me, exactly what connotation are Facebook putting on | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
the word libido? Because I think it is a wider question. We can guess. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
They don't want to go there. Exactly, it is a word in the English | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
language, it is a medical term, essentially. So that is a wider | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
question. Are we saying that we cannot talk about that within | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
advertising at all, because this is not a product. It is about trying | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
to... The thing is, Victoria, I speak to women all the time and you | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
will have spoken to them on this programme where loss of libido in | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
menopause is really, really emotional for women. We're not just | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
talking about women in their 40s and 50s. If you suffer from POI, it can | :24:23. | :24:36. | |
affect to... Just explain POI? Premature ovarian insufficiency, | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
which can affect women in their lives. You're talking about women in | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
their teens, 20s and 30s and there is an emotional impact on the woman | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
and her partner. What started off as me being, you are not going to let | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
me put my menopause add up, has opened a wider issue. Understood, | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
thank you for telling us about it. This e-mail is about being sexually | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
assaulted on public transport, a report out today investigates, | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
having done various Freedom of information requests, which shows | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
the number of sexual assaults reported and recorded in the last | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
five years has risen. This from Martin who says, our daughter was | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
sexually assaulted on a train to London. She found her mum, who then | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
phoned the transport police and provided a description of the | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
perpetrator before the train arrived. The police claimed they | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
didn't see him at the station but would look at the CCTV footage. She | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
never heard from the police again. Why would women report, given the | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
circumstances. Martin, you may have had the successful outcome for | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
Jessica Brady, who was on earlier. She reported it and they found the | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
perpetrator and he was convicted. Six months jail sentence and has to | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
carry... Will be on the sex offenders register for seven years. | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
So today we've been given a clear picture of the state of mental | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
As we discussed earlier - the Care Quality Commission says | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
there are several areas of concern and that 40% of services | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
need to be improved in relation to patient safety. | :26:16. | :26:17. | |
But the report says there were also many examples of excellent care, | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
and that's what we're going to talk about now. | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
Of the 54 NHS trusts and more than 200 independent specialist | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
services that were looked a, 9% of them were rated outstanding. | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
We're joined by three of them right now. | :26:34. | :26:35. | |
Ruth Fitzjohn is the chairwoman of the together Trust - | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
which provides mental health services in Gloucestershire - | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
their areas of excellence were crisis services and adult ward | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
provision Maria Slater is the general manager of Child and | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
Adolescent Mental Health Services at Manchester University Hospitals - | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
they were rated outstanding for specialist children and young | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
people's mental health services, and finally in Plymouth we have | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
Professor Steve Waite - chief executive of | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
They were rated outstanding for inpatient adult care | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
and for people with learning disabilities or autism. | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
Welcome to all of you. Thank you for coming on the programme. Steve, tell | :27:18. | :27:26. | |
us about good practice in your area? It is a privilege to work with some | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
excellent colleagues, looking at how we staff the unit, how we listen to | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
people using our surfaces and how we impart our staff to take forward an | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
individual stay as good and supportive as possible. Tell us in a | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
bit more detail, let's be specific about what you are doing that is so | :27:47. | :27:54. | |
brilliant. We have spent ?3 million upgrading our inpatient unit. The | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
community and disability services, we spent a lot of time to people | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
using their services to put in place, adequate staffing, making | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
sure we have support for continuing professional development and also | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
how we actively recruit people with the right values and the right | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
support to deliver those services. Ruth, what are you doing that is | :28:16. | :28:23. | |
outstanding? All good services in the NHS start with the right culture | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
and the right values. I would think you could go to any of our | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
colleagues and they would be able to describe to you the trust values | :28:31. | :28:39. | |
which, together form the culture. As the previous chapter was saying, we | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
listen to people all the time, we pay great attention to our experts | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
by experience, whether they are service users, carers of people in | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
the community. We invest in professional development in a | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
significant way. We try to be curious as trusts if someone is | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
doing grace a mouse, we will have that and incorporate it into our | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
services. We are involved in the south of England, the mental health | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
safety collaborative. We try and believe our services are set in the | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
context of our communities. There is not a lot of point bringing in | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
people at the right time, working with them in the community services | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
or inpatients and services and then send them into a queue that rejects | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
them. We invest a huge amount of time and effort in Gloucestershire | :29:32. | :29:37. | |
and Herefordshire, working with businesses so they receive people | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
back in a helpful way when they have been ill. Trying to change the | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
mindset of people in our communities because it really does take a | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
village to raise a child and it does take a village to receive someone | :29:51. | :29:54. | |
back and help them recover. Let me bring in Maria Slater, specifically, | :29:55. | :30:02. | |
what is it you do in Manchester that has been rated outstanding? In | :30:03. | :30:11. | |
particular, our services being responsive was outstanding rating | :30:12. | :30:13. | |
because we have worked hard to integrate with children's services, | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
reaching out to those vulnerable groups, and youth justice. We know | :30:20. | :30:26. | |
about mental illness and I cannot access traditional services. We are | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
out there reaching in communities we know it is a challenge to access | :30:31. | :30:31. | |
mental health for that population. What are they doing? How does that | :30:32. | :30:44. | |
mean teenager will access mental Health Services? They will by a long | :30:45. | :30:51. | |
side say the jus youth justice worker, so with their allocated | :30:52. | :30:57. | |
worker and the Mac-17 nurse will be with them, outreaching, if the youth | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
justice worker is worried about them they can headache sure they would | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
get an assessment to access the specialist service previously they | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
wouldn't want to have engaged with. It is a more friendly face of CAMHS. | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
Thank you very much. Congratulations. | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
Three examples of trust and mental Health Services that have been rated | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
outstand being the Care Quality Commission. | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
With the News here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom. | :31:27. | :31:28. | |
The new leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council has been heckled | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
by furious residents of Grenfell Tower, | :31:32. | :31:32. | |
at the authority's first full meeting since the fire. | :31:33. | :31:34. | |
Elizabeth Campbell was told to resign, as she admitted | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
that the council needed to change fundamentally, if it was to regain | :31:38. | :31:39. | |
The best #34e78 wall would not only be a national change, because | :31:40. | :32:04. | |
clearly we now see that there is 180 of these buildings that have this | :32:05. | :32:08. | |
cladding on, they went through the same process, so there is something | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
fundamentally wrong, and that should be a big focus of change, that will | :32:12. | :32:16. | |
come out of the inquiry, and then as far as Kensington and Chelsea is | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
concerned it will be a change in terms of the way we deliver social | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
housing. We have made mistake, I am not going to say we haven't. The | :32:26. | :32:27. | |
important thing is to change. One in three cases of dementia | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
could be prevented if more people looked after the health | :32:32. | :32:33. | |
of their brain better throughout their lives, | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
according to new research. An international study | :32:36. | :32:37. | |
published in the Lancet lists key risk factors - | :32:38. | :32:39. | |
including lack of education, hearing loss, smoking | :32:40. | :32:41. | |
and social isolation. Crimes reported to police in England | :32:42. | :32:46. | |
and Wales have increased by 10% Reported violence was the biggest | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
increase up by 18%, followed by robbery on 16 % and sex | :32:50. | :32:53. | |
offences on 14%. The number of reported sexual | :32:54. | :32:55. | |
offences on trains in the UK has more than doubled | :32:56. | :33:07. | |
in the last five years. Figures obtained by BBC Radio 5Live | :33:08. | :33:09. | |
found almost 1,500 offences were reported to police in the year | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
up to March this year. That compares with 650 | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
reports five years ago. The rise is thought to be down | :33:15. | :33:16. | |
to more people reporting offences. Two years ago the British Transport | :33:17. | :33:19. | |
Police launched an awareness campaign to encourage more people | :33:20. | :33:22. | |
to come forward if they'd been sexually abused | :33:23. | :33:24. | |
on public transport. A US judge has halted an auction | :33:25. | :33:36. | |
of personal items from the singer Madonna after she said they were | :33:37. | :33:39. | |
stolen and violated her privacy. The items - including underwear, | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
a chequebook, hairbrush and photos - One of the most anticipated items | :33:43. | :33:44. | |
was a break-up letter from the late rapper Tupac Shakur, | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
written to Madonna A full hearing has been | :33:50. | :33:50. | |
set for September. That's a summary of the latest | :33:51. | :34:00. | |
news, join me for BBC English golfers have responded on | :34:01. | :34:17. | |
day one. So far Ian Poulter is doing ever so well. He has another birdie, | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
he is down to two-under par and Justin Rose and Alfie Plant as well, | :34:22. | :34:26. | |
one of those who are-under par. In fact three of the eight golfers are | :34:27. | :34:31. | |
English-under par are English so far on day one of the open. | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
Mark Sampson claims his England team can get better even | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
after their biggest win at a major tournament. | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
Their 6-0 win over Scotland in their opening match | :34:39. | :34:40. | |
of the women's European Championship also included the first hattrick | :34:41. | :34:42. | |
Arsenal striker Jodie Taylor got it... | :34:43. | :34:50. | |
Chelsea have agreed a fee of around 60 million pounds with real | :34:51. | :34:53. | |
The Spain international is on his way to London for a medical. | :34:54. | :34:57. | |
That's all the sport from me for now. | :34:58. | :34:59. | |
Let us look at that research into dementia. Where one in three cases | :35:00. | :35:11. | |
could be Superintendented if more of us looked after her brain health | :35:12. | :35:14. | |
throughout our live, that is according to a report out today | :35:15. | :35:16. | |
supported by the Alzheimer's Society. This report lists nine key | :35:17. | :35:23. | |
risk factors including lack of education, hearing loss, smoking, | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
that would be an oven one and physical inaccusety. The report | :35:28. | :35:30. | |
combines the work of 24 international experts and it says | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
lifestyle factors play a major role in increasing or reducing risk. Here | :35:37. | :35:43. | |
are the nine potentially modifiable factors, we can all do something | :35:44. | :35:46. | |
about it that contribute to the risk of dementia. | :35:47. | :37:00. | |
With me now is Dr Claudia Cooper, reader in old age psychiatry | :37:01. | :37:03. | |
at the Faculty of Brain Sciences at University College London - | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
who was one of the authors on this report. | :37:07. | :37:08. | |
And we can also speak to Lorraine Brown. | :37:09. | :37:10. | |
She was diagnosed with early onset dementia at 61. | :37:11. | :37:14. | |
Since her diagnosis she has been working with the Alzheimer's Society | :37:15. | :37:21. | |
raising awareness. Thank you for coming on the | :37:22. | :37:25. | |
programme. I will start with you Claudia, if I may. Because some of | :37:26. | :37:31. | |
the things that film are obvious, smoking, obesity, others less so. | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
Getting hearing problems sorted and finish your secondary school | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
education which we have to do by law any way. How have you reached the | :37:41. | :37:46. | |
nine? We looked at the best evidence available and did a new synthesis of | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
the evidence. We were interested in the hearing loss, that is one of the | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
new findings to come out of that. It is going to be interesting to go on, | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
and look at how we might be able to reduce the risk of dementia through | :38:00. | :38:04. | |
for example hearing aids and measures to support people who | :38:05. | :38:10. | |
experience hearing loss. The education, comes out of the studies | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
that have been done thus far, and most of the studies have looked at | :38:16. | :38:20. | |
secondary education but it is probably part of something broader | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
around how good for our brains it is, when we are able to engage in | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
mentally and socially stimulating activity. Doing things that interest | :38:30. | :38:37. | |
us, and looking after our physical and mental health, help us to grow | :38:38. | :38:44. | |
resilient brains basically, which are more able to withstand, or to | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
delay the impact of dementia pathology when it happens. What is | :38:48. | :38:53. | |
the link then between hearing problems, loss and potentially the | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
increase risk to dementia? Well, we don't know for certain, but we | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
certainly have. So ideas about that. Certainly when you have even mild | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
hearing loss, in mid and later life, it probably makes it more | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
channelling for you to engage in all the socially stimulating and other | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
activities that you have enjoyed up to that point, so people tell us | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
about perhaps avoiding social occasions where there are lots of | :39:21. | :39:24. | |
people. It might have a direct effect on your likelihood of getting | :39:25. | :39:29. | |
dementia, and it might put you at risk of some of the other things | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
such as depression and social isolation, some of the risk factors | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
will be linked. More raining hello. Thank you for talking to us. Tell | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
our audience how it was that you were diagnosed. I was diagnosed. I | :39:44. | :40:00. | |
my test consisted of MRI brain scan, cognitive testing and lumbar | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
punctures. What, how did you react when you received that diagnosis. | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
The conclusion came through years later -- three years later by a | :40:11. | :40:16. | |
neurologist in Medway hospital. When I was, when I shown my brain scans, | :40:17. | :40:25. | |
another testing they have done, it was very very devastating to take n | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
and in fact, I went on to have a second opinion. And how do you, tell | :40:31. | :40:38. | |
us how you manage to live with this now? Before I go on about that, | :40:39. | :40:47. | |
it's, I've just heard a theory and with the words likely and maybe. But | :40:48. | :40:56. | |
dementia is a disease of the brain, and no-one xeepts. If my peer | :40:57. | :41:04. | |
support group, we have school teacher, lawyers, really affluent | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
people, so I do not believe actually it has anything to do with your | :41:09. | :41:14. | |
education, or social skills, it can happen to anybody, whatever age you | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
are. Claudia Cooper? Yes it can happen to anybody. Absolutely right. | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
And it happens to lots of us are going to get dementia as get older, | :41:25. | :41:29. | |
what we are saying is for any individual risk and some people have | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
a high individual risk, there are things we can do to increase our | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
decrease that risk, you can do everything right and still get | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
dementia and you do everything wrong a not get it. It is not absolute. We | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
are looking at what makes thing more likely, if you have hearing loss you | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
are twice as likely, you are still more likely not to get it than get | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
it. It increasing the risk. Do some of these risk factors make sense to | :42:05. | :42:14. | |
you Lorraine, like obesity. Yes vascular dementia, the unhealthy | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
lifestyle, you are overeating, smoking, drinking. It leads to heart | :42:19. | :42:25. | |
attacks and strokes, I agree with that one, but there are over 200 | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
types of dementias and it affects people, affects people in all sorts | :42:33. | :42:41. | |
of way, and no people are alike. I have Alzheimer's, early on set | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
Alzheimer's, but then, even then, you put me next to another woman, | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
same age, with the condition, we are totally different. Yes. Different | :42:53. | :42:59. | |
kind of difficulties we experience. What do you do to keep physically | :43:00. | :43:12. | |
and mentally active, Lorraine? I must say, without Alzheimer's | :43:13. | :43:15. | |
society, providing different group, I am a chair to Dementia Action | :43:16. | :43:21. | |
Alliance all these groups that the Alzheimer's Society provide, I | :43:22. | :43:27. | |
wouldn't be the person I am today. That is very stimulating and I am | :43:28. | :43:35. | |
still able to use the skills, before the diagnosis of dementia. So for | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
those who, for those who really worry about getting dementia, what | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
would you say to them? If you are concerned in any way, you need to go | :43:47. | :43:54. | |
and see your GP. Then just explain your difficulties. In my case it was | :43:55. | :44:01. | |
totally different. It was my work colleagues and managers noticed I | :44:02. | :44:07. | |
wasn't performing in my usual self at my workplace, and they, my | :44:08. | :44:18. | |
manager sent me to KMPT occupational health consultant, and she then | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
referred me to Queen's square in London because she believed there | :44:23. | :44:25. | |
was something other than stress that I was, I believed I was | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
experiencing. Thank you very much Lorraine. We | :44:31. | :44:36. | |
appreciate it. Thank you. Lorraine Brown and Claudia Cooper. Thank you | :44:37. | :44:37. | |
for your time. An auction of several of Madonna's | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
personal items has been halted after the pop star | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
said her privacy was violated. The objects include the singer's | :44:46. | :44:47. | |
underwear, chequebook and this break-up letter from | :44:48. | :44:49. | |
the late rapper Tupac. Two reports out today suggest that | :44:50. | :44:58. | |
parents are facing the choice of rising child care costs | :44:59. | :45:01. | |
or reducing their work in order to look after their children | :45:02. | :45:03. | |
during the summer holidays. Earlier this week we talked | :45:04. | :45:05. | |
about how some parents are struggling to feed children | :45:06. | :45:07. | |
in the school holidays, and according to work | :45:08. | :45:10. | |
by the Family and Childcare Trust and the New Economics Foundation, | :45:11. | :45:12. | |
care is another issue making There are now calls | :45:13. | :45:14. | |
for the Governments in England, Wales and Scotland to do more | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
to help parents. So how much does holiday | :45:21. | :45:22. | |
childcare cost us on average? Let's talk to Ellen Broome | :45:23. | :46:16. | |
from the Family and Childcare Trust, And Duncan McCann, who is the father | :46:17. | :46:34. | |
of three boys, who is having to juggle things around. Me and my | :46:35. | :46:42. | |
partner have chosen to go part-time since children were born so we can | :46:43. | :46:48. | |
be more active in their upbringing, but we are all so lucky to have both | :46:49. | :46:55. | |
sets of grandparents close by. What we have in the summer is a complex | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
patchwork of parents, grandparents, friends and also taking advantage of | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
some of these paying childcare provision as well. How much do you | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
have to fork out for childcare? We try to keep it out to a minium. We | :47:15. | :47:21. | |
send them to a few camps and activities, but these are generally | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
with people we know where we help out in some way, getting reduced | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
rates so we keep it low. I wouldn't spend as much as the ?122 average, I | :47:30. | :47:36. | |
would be a bit under that, but I consider myself lucky we don't have | :47:37. | :47:41. | |
to rely on it. If me and by partner did work full time, being in Hackney | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
in London, we would be spending over that to get both of our kids looked | :47:47. | :47:53. | |
after for the week. Ellen, it is expensive, we are asking strangers | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
to look after our most precious things? We should never do childcare | :47:57. | :48:02. | |
on the cheap, we want our children to be looked after by well-educated | :48:03. | :48:08. | |
professionals in a safe environment. However, we need to have parents | :48:09. | :48:10. | |
staying in work and these high childcare costs and a drop in | :48:11. | :48:17. | |
available places means parents are facing a tricky summer and some | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
might have to stay in work or reduce their hours, which affects their | :48:21. | :48:27. | |
family income. But it is only for a short period of time? , But it is | :48:28. | :48:34. | |
across the year, the childcare costs, and the six weeks of holidays | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
will throw of the most carefully managed family budgets. The | :48:40. | :48:44. | |
government can do a lot of childcare support available through Universal | :48:45. | :48:47. | |
Credit or tax credits cannot be used to pay for holiday childcare, | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
because registration requirements are different. We are calling on the | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
government to look at that again. So parents can use the support already | :48:58. | :49:01. | |
available for them in the school summer holidays. This e-mail from | :49:02. | :49:10. | |
Jane. People have had a family, they are their responsibility. They know | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
schools have holidays, it is not something that just happens. Then in | :49:15. | :49:21. | |
big capitals, it is not up to the government to pay for childcare. | :49:22. | :49:28. | |
What do you say to that? Childcare is an important infrastructure as | :49:29. | :49:33. | |
roads and rail. We want parents to be a reliable workforce, children to | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
access opportunities so their social mobility is boosted across their | :49:39. | :49:42. | |
lifetime. Childcare is crucial. It is crucial. Absolutely, the | :49:43. | :49:49. | |
government has recognised how crucial it is to us as a society and | :49:50. | :49:55. | |
the economy. They have invested lots over the last few years in childcare | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
for younger children, however, children of school age need more | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
priority and we need more action in terms of what we can support parents | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
with four school-age children. Where are you from originally? Sweden. | :50:10. | :50:18. | |
They have more childcare available at more affordable prices, so it is | :50:19. | :50:25. | |
less of a struggle. But you pay higher taxes? Childcare is being | :50:26. | :50:33. | |
recognised as part of a modern infrastructure with parents needing | :50:34. | :50:36. | |
to go to work to pay for mortgages and rent and make ends meet, we need | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
to make sure the government is supporting those parents so they | :50:41. | :50:43. | |
have choices in how they look after their families. Duncan, would you | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
pay higher taxes to have more affordable childcare? I would be | :50:49. | :50:54. | |
amenable to that. There are other ways of achieving that because when | :50:55. | :50:59. | |
we looked at what nurseries to send our children to in Hackney, it was | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
important to be actively engaged in those nurseries. The positive side | :51:04. | :51:10. | |
of that, is not only that we become more actively engaged in our | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
children's development, but it makes good quality more affordable. So you | :51:16. | :51:21. | |
are winning by being more involved in your children's nursery | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
education. Thank you both for coming on the programme, have a lovely | :51:26. | :51:26. | |
summer. We asked the Department | :51:27. | :51:29. | |
for Education for a The Department for Education | :51:30. | :51:30. | |
says its doing more than ever before to support families with childcare, | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
including investing a record ?6 billion in childcare by the end | :51:35. | :51:36. | |
of this Parliament. The Welsh government said it will | :51:37. | :51:47. | |
provide 30 hours for 48 weeks of the year. | :51:48. | :51:49. | |
And the Scottish Government told us that its almost doubling free early | :51:50. | :51:52. | |
learning and childcare hours by 2020. | :51:53. | :51:53. | |
We'll be looking at the cost of childcare across the BBC today. | :51:54. | :51:56. | |

A judge in the US has halted an auction set to feature | :52:00. | :52:10. | |
personal items of Madonna, after she said they | :52:11. | :52:12. | |
The pop star said the items, which included her underwear | :52:13. | :52:23. | |
and a break up letter from the late rapper Tupac, had been | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
Our entertainment reporter Chi Chi Izundu is here. | :52:27. | :52:34. | |
The latter, which was leaked from wherever, we don't know, several | :52:35. | :52:44. | |
weeks ago tell us about that? Madonna confirmed she did date, for | :52:45. | :52:51. | |
a short while, Tupac. She never said for how long, but this is the | :52:52. | :52:57. | |
break-up letter, we think. This relationship happened at the height | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
of both their fame. Madonna was successful, Tupac was successful but | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
he wrote this letter from prison. He starts by apology on to her by | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
saying, first and foremost I must apologise, because like you said, I | :53:12. | :53:14. | |
haven't been the kind of friend I know I am capable of being. When | :53:15. | :53:23. | |
that came out, to me it felt obvious, that was a personal thing. | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
There was no way she would have released that. Definitely not. There | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
were other personal items, hairbrush. Her lawyer said, head DNA | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
could be extracted from a piece of my hair and it is outrageous and | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
grossly offensive my DNA could be auctioned for sale to the general | :53:42. | :53:46. | |
public. There are letters, pictures, a cheque-book involved. But the | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
latter is the most interesting thing because Tupac does say, for you to | :53:50. | :53:55. | |
be seen as daily-macro with a black man, wouldn't it jeopardise your | :53:56. | :53:56. | |
career where? man, wouldn't it jeopardise your | :53:57. | :54:03. | |
career It would make it seem more exciting. He's on suggesting that | :54:04. | :54:08. | |
race played a part in why they split up. Celebrity auctions happen quite | :54:09. | :54:15. | |
a lot. They happen all the time but Madonna is alleging the person who | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
took those items was helping her move things from her home. Now it's | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
going to court and the judge has decided this will go to trial in | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
September. What kind of other things are there that are out there? | :54:30. | :54:41. | |
Anything. I mean of Madonna's. The latter was the one gathering most | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
interest which was expected to fetch a few thousand pounds. There are | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
photos, even some of Madonna's underwear. The hairbrush, a | :54:51. | :54:55. | |
cheque-book and lots of personal items she felt she trusted someone | :54:56. | :54:59. | |
to help her move and they took them and they have appeared on an auction | :55:00. | :55:06. | |
site. Madonna is not the only celebrity annoyed about that letter | :55:07. | :55:12. | |
either? No, jaded Pinkett Smith, married to Will Smith has voiced her | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
annoyance about Tupac because she was a childhood friend with him and | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
a new film called All Eyes On Me a biopic leading up to Tupac's death | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
at the age of 25 in a drive-by shooting has come out. She says the | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
way their relationship is featured in that film is untrue. She is more | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
heard because the people behind the film, she knows and she felt they | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
could have come to her and asked her properly what happened between them. | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
Thank you very much, we will see what happens at that hearing in | :55:47. | :55:48. | |
September. Thank you very much. We have been asking this morning for | :55:49. | :55:56. | |
your experiences about being sexually assaulted on public | :55:57. | :55:59. | |
transport because there has been a rise on the number of assaults on | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
trains and the London underground. Five live got figures from the | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
British Transport Police. I am going to read any mail from Judith who | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
goes into detail. Just to let you know, if there is children around, | :56:13. | :56:17. | |
you may not want them to hear this. Judith says... I recently gave | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
evidence against a guy who was playing with himself whilst on the | :56:22. | :56:29. | |
tube. He then followed me off the train. I jumped back on and I | :56:30. | :56:31. | |
reported him at the next station. British Transport Police were | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
fabulous from start to finish. They found two other women who had | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
reported him for two other similar incidents. He pleaded not guilty, | :56:40. | :56:45. | |
but he was convicted. Women should never accept this behaviour. | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
Reporting the crime stopped me from feeling like his victim. I felt | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
absolutely supported by British Transport Police throughout the | :56:55. | :56:58. | |
entire process and I feel proud to have stood up for myself and other | :56:59. | :57:02. | |
women. And that is in real contrast to the e-mail from Martinelli who | :57:03. | :57:12. | |
said, his daughter was sexually assaulted and they reported it to | :57:13. | :57:15. | |
the police and effectively nothing happened. But if you do reported and | :57:16. | :57:17. | |
please take it forward, it can help you take ownership of a pretty | :57:18. | :57:22. | |
grotesque experience. I've messages here on dementia. Hazel says, my | :57:23. | :57:27. | |
husband has dementia, aged at 65. He had a healthy lifestyle, you'd | :57:28. | :57:31. | |
properly, didn't smoke and only drank socially. He worked in the | :57:32. | :57:36. | |
finance industry. His brain was always kept active, he read a lot | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
and no dementia in the family, yet he has dementia. As a researcher | :57:41. | :57:49. | |
behind the report said, you can do the most unhealthy things and not | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
get dementia, and you can do everything right, and not get | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
dementia. Let me bring you this breaking news, the Home Office | :57:57. | :57:59. | |
reveals the number of police officers has fallen to its lowest | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
level in this country since 1985. The Home Office has just revealed | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
the number of police officers has fallen to its lowest level since | :58:09. | :58:13. | |
1985. More on that no doubt our newsroom live, which is coming up | :58:14. | :58:15. | |
next. A lovely day. | :58:16. | :58:25. |
