24/07/2017 Victoria Derbyshire

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

welcome to the programme We'll bring you the details shortly.

The parents of Charlie Gard are to return to court today. They've been

victims of a backlash from some members of the public, they say,

after Great Ormond Street Hospital revealed staff received death

threats. Threats have been made against the judiciary and medical

staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Under no possible

circumstances whatsoever does any member of Charlie's family or any of

Charlie's true supporters condone any such action.

We have discovered that new powers to curb dock attacks haven't been

working. We'll talk to the family of a three-year-old girl mauled after

five doings broke into her garden. And it's 50 years since gay sex was

decriminalised but how much has changed and how close are we to

achieving true equality? We demand the same rights. No more, no less.

The same rights as other ordinary, civilised human beings.

We'll talk to Peter Tatchell and George Montagu, convicted of gross

indecency with a man in the 70s and describes himself as the oldest gay

in the village and a woman who's only just come out, about how much

as changed. Hello.

welcome to the programme, Throughout the programme the latest

breaking news and developing stories...a little later we'll

celebrate two amazing British England's women beat India

to the Cricket World Cup. Absolutely amazing. I took my kids

there. So many kids there, it was brilliant. A great atmosphere.

And we'll be asking why this Brit - Chris Frome, the 4 times

tour de france winner - isn't receiving the love

Is he Britain's least popular greatest sportsman?

Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning -

The parents of Charlie Gard return to the court today as the court

consider new evidence from a US neurologist. They want to take their

baby to the States for experimental treatment. Doctors at Great Ormond

Street don't believe it will work and say the 11-month-old should be

allowed to die with dignity. Tom Burridge is at

the High Court for us. The court was supposed to sit this

morning and it's been pushed back to this afternoon. Possibly a decision

from tomorrow onwards, that might be pushed back because we are not

seeing the court sitting this morning. But I think a lot of the

evidence will centre around testimony from this US Doctor Who

claims that his treatment, a kind of therapy, has a 10% chance of

improving the health of 11-month-old Charlie Gard. The judge will have to

make that very difficult decision in what is a very sad case. The judge

will have to decide, remember, whether or not to allow Chris and

Connie, Charlie's parents, to allow them to take him to New York for

experimental treatment or whether the judge decides, like the doctors

at Great Ormond Street have been arguing, that the chances of any

success from that treatment are so low that actually it's in Charlie's

best interests for the life support system to be switched off and for

him to be allowed the die with dignity. Tell us about the threats

to the staff and the parents? Really sad again. On Saturday, Great Ormond

Street Hospital released a statement saying that their staff, doctors and

nurses, suffered a torrent of abuse, thousands of messages online, some

verbal abuse in the street. Connie and Chris, Charlie's parents,

released a short statement on Saturday saying they too suffered a

lot of abuse. Then they released a longer statement yesterday evening,

saying that actually, since the statement from Great Ormond Street

on Saturday, they've suffered what they described as a backlash. They

said they've suffered a lot of abuse, a lot of messages online. But

they paid tribute, I think it's important to say, to the doctors and

the staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital. They say ultimately their

son wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for the staff at Great Ormond

Street Hospital. Both sides, the doctors and parents of young Charlie

of course have his best interests at heart. But of course the judge over

the next couple of days, possibly longer, will have to make that very

difficult decision. Thank you very much.

Britain's economic forecast has been downgraded by the monetary fund due

to a weaker performance at the start of the year. In April it was

predicted the economy would grow 2%, that's been revised down to 1.7%.

The Treasury says the report high lites the importance of a good

Brexit deal with the EU. At least 24 people have been killed

and more than 40 injured in a suicide bomb attack

in the Afghan capital, Kabul. It's understood the attacker

detonated the car bomb close to a bus carrying government

employees in the west of the city. It's not yet clear who

was behind the attack. Scientists say they're examining

a potential breakthrough in the case of the missing Sheffield toddler,

Ben Needham - who disappeared on the Greek island of Kos,

26 years ago today. Human material has been found

in soil samples gathered last Ben Needham was 21 months old when

he disappeared on the island of Kos in July 1991. In the years that

followed, men's mother Kerry pleaded with anyone that knows anything

about her son's disappearance to come forward. Last October, an

extensive 21-day search was conducted of land around the

farmhouse where he was last seen in a second site close by after it

emerged the toddler may have been crushed to death by a digger. And

now, on the 26th anniversary of his disappearance, a possible

breakthrough. Signs of blood have been found on items recovered by

police during last year's search. Some of the items that we brought

back, we submitted for further forensic work and the results of

that to date, I am led to believe, show signs that there is some human

decomposition around the items that that we brought back from Kos. A

sandal and truck brought back are being tested in Aberdeen. 60 items

were brought back for analysis. We are providing information that there

is a strong indication from this chemical profile that we were able

to ascertain, there is a strong indication this was present on the

it Eames as a result of blood decomposition. South Yorkshire

police hope this latest development will go some way in proving what

happened to this little boy. Experts on Hutch are joining forces

with Cancer Researchers to look at efforts to find a cure for the vie

Ritz. At the science conference in Paris, experts believe -- a cure for

Hutch. Detectives investigating the death

of a young woman in south-west London have charged a 33-year-old

man with murder, rape and kidnap. The 19-year-old's body was found

at a house in Kingston on Wednesday. The man is also accused

of raping another woman. A second man has been

charged with kidnap. The BBC has learned that 80% of NHS

areas in England are failing to meet the government's two week processing

target for women to receive It means less than half of women

receive their results NHS England said it is working

to reduce a "backlog" caused by a forthcoming change to the way

it carries out cervical screening. Community Protection notices, ASBOs

for doings, were brought in three years ago. They give police and

local authorities more powers to demand doing owners take steps to

control their animals' behaviour. More than three quarters of the 311

councils who responded to our Freedom of Information request have

not issued a single notice since they were introduced. The ding The

Duke of Cambridge has revealed how he tells his children stories about

his mother, the Princess of Wales. It's hard because obviously

Katherine didn't know her so she can not really provide that level of

detail so I do regularly, putting Charlotte and George to bed, remind

them that there were two grand mothers in their lives. Just after

9. 30, we'll bring you the information on the ASBOs for doings.

They are not being used by councils even though they've had the powers

in order to try to stop doing attacks. We are going to talk to

Sandra McKevitt after 9. 30. She's never done an interview before. She

was there when her granddaughter was attacked in her front garden by five

doings who'd broken through the garden fence. So we'll talk more

about that after 9. 30. All of you are saying it's the owners'

responsibility. John on Facebook, Anthony on Facebook, the

responsibility of attacks falls within owners and the Government for

allowing anyone on licence to own potential killing machines. Anthony

says the main problem lies with the owners, they look to the doings as a

status symbol. Get in touch on Twitter or e-mail us.

Olly is with us now. I took my boys to the Cricket World Cup. India were

cruising to that modest 229 that England set and then suddenly India

collapsed didn't they? Yes, India have been absolutely fantastic. They

beat England in the group stage before they qualified for the

knockout stage. I was working here yesterday Victoria, you were very

lucky to be there and every telly pretty much was tuned into the

cricket, so much going on, but most people were watching the cricket.

England's women world champions for a fourth time. They'll be having a

few heavy heads because I think they were celebrating in the Lord's TV

averner's Bar afterwards. One of those tournaments that went under

the radar, started a month ago, was up against Wimbledon. You could

stream some of the matches for free but it wasn't on terrestrial TV. It

was a sell out at Lord's. A great global audience. England were

fantastic, making 228, India seemed to be cruising to victory but shrub

sole there, wow, five in 19 deliveries, turned the match on its

head, got the winning wicket as well. England last won it in 2009,

Shrubsole was the player of the match. Pure elation I think. I

always think it's better when you're all out there in the field because

you have got your team-mates around you and this World Cup really has

been a team effort. People have chipped in along the way, we have

fought our way through some games, haven't necessarily won the pretest.

Test cricket is all about winning, and not how you do it. Look at this

tweet from Ian Shrubsole, a picture of Anya in 2001 when she was 11 and

"what a place, I would like to play here for England in a World Cup

final", is what she said. Didn't she just! That is absolutely brilliant.

Dreams can come true! Chris Froome, he wins the Tour de France again? !

That is a dream isn't it of all his four titles. He says this was the

toughest because his rivals were so much better this year. 54 seconds

his margin of victory, the narrowest of all his victories. There he is,

victory parade up the Elysee, a glass or two of bubbly, as is

customary. He's 32 now, says he'd like to carry on competing for

another five years. Four men have won five tours, the likes of the

great Eddie Merks, so there is every chance he could join some of the

greats, if not surpass them. My word, what an achievement that is,

the toughest grand Tour of Them all. He didn't win a single stage either,

the seventh man only to wear that yellow jersey without wearing a

single stage. But a real team effort from Team Sky to help Froome on his

way to the fourth title. We'll talk about why he isn't loved more by the

British public later. Your views welcome. No British winner at the

Open but a fantastic day at Royal Birkdale?

Royal Birkdale has now staged ten Open championships but no British

winner. There was a real battle between Matt Kuchar and Jordan

Spieth and we wondered how we could getting gauged with it. Jordan

Spieth led from the first day and were three clear overnight but a

dramatic final round. He threw away that lead in the first four with

bogeys. And then at 13 he unravelled, ending up halfway up the

hill. That was unplayable and it got complicated. It took 20 minutes to

work out where he could drop the ball. They said the line of sight

was in between those two drugs, and they couldn't do that. He is in the

practice area. He birdied it and Matt Kuchar went into the lead. But

then birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie, finishing on 12 under, three clear

of Matt Kuchar. He is the master is open champion from 2015. But that

claret jug, after the way he won after nearly throwing it all away,

he says it is his greatest major yet and he is only 23. Thank you.

Amazing. More from Olly throughout the morning.

It is 50 years this week since gay sex was decriminalised.

In 1967 the law in England and Wales changed so that it was no longer

a crime for two consenting adult men over 21 to have sex.

For some, that date was a watershed moment. For others it was just the

start. Five decades on, how

much has changed? We must be out and about

in pubs, in clubs and in the classroom, talking

about homosexuality and in fact, in that sense,

promoting homosexuality. I'm now very happy to announce that

you are now legally husbands. My focus and priority has

been on my ministry, on serving God and serving God's

people, and I do that, How much has changed? This email

suggests not much. I am a 51-year-old gay man and I have had

numerous homophobic insults. The last result was in March and my ribs

and some were broken in an attack by four security personnel. In my

experience homophobia is still a massive problem and the authorities

are reluctant to even acknowledge my assaults. Someone who has seen

attitudes change hugely over the course of his life is 94-year-old

George Montague, who calls himself the oldest gay in the village.

He was convicted in the 1970s for gross indecency.

Peter Tatchell has spent most of his life campaigning

on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and

He describes what happened 50 years ago as partial decriminalisation.

Ferhan Khan came out to his Muslim family when he was 15.

She only came out to her children over the weekend.

Her parents still don't know which is why we're only

Welcome to all of you. How are you? Fine. Look at the smile on your

face. I really want to know what has changed over your lifetime in terms

of the way people treat gay men. Well, I lived a total lie, in the

closet, with a wife and three lovely children, and I did a lot of acting

and I was totally accept it as a heterosexual person. Nobody in the

world except my wife knew I was gay until nine years ago. And when you

came out, how did that change your life? When I was brought up, the

hero of my life was Lord Baden Powell. I was a good Boy Scout and I

did everything I should have done. You don't tell lies. I realised I

was living a lie and I had to do something about it. So I went and

had a long chat with my children and my daughter said, daddy, we have

known for years! Then I took the bull by the horns, and I thought the

best thing to do, I was living in Brighton at the time, was to go to

Brighton pride, which is one of the best in the country. It is

wonderful. All the houses with windows, the windows are full of

people waving and shouting and cheering and even the people at the

bus stops are cheering. It is wonderful. The best day of my life.

And I am looking forward to the next one in a few weeks. Peter, let's

talk about 1967 and what did change in practical terms. We talk about

liberalisation but it was not as liberal as people think. Up until

1967, gay and bisexual men could face a maximum sentence of life

imprisonment. That was ended in 1967 but it was a partial, limited

decriminalisation. All the anti-gay laws dating back centuries and they

remained in force. They were policed in fact with ever greater

aggression, so that in the years after 1967, the number of gay and

bisexual men convicted rose by 400%. Including George Montague, who was

convicted in the 1970s for gross indecency. Full decriminalisation

only happened across the UK four years ago. Between 1967 and 2013, at

least 15,000 men who were gay or bisexual were convicted for

consenting to same-sex behaviour. It's is absolutely shocking and it

is appalling it took so long. It took so long to get full legal

equality in terms of the criminal law. I have friends who were

arrested and convicted because they were under the age of 21, which was

the age of consent set in 1967. 18 or 19, they were arrested. One of

them went to prison for six months, to a young offenders institution,

for consenting loving same-sex relationship. This was in the late

1970s. It seems extraordinary. Winnie, hello. Thank you for coming

on the programme. You came out as bisexual a year ago to friends and

family. What has the last year be like for you? It has actually been

really amazing, the support from my work colleagues and my friends. Some

of my family, but not all of my family know about it. I was actually

really surprised. I have not had any negative experiences. I recently

told my children this weekend. They are ten and 11. They were absolutely

amazing. I really underestimated telling them. They dealt with it

really well. They really understood. They sat down and we explained it to

them. They still see me as money, I am still the same person and I am

that person at work as well. -- they Seanie as mummy. I am part of the

equality network and Mike Ochoa has been with me 100% of the way. -- my

co-chair. Do you wish you had done it sooner? It wasn't the right time.

Coming out now felt right in itself. And what about your family, the

older generations? I just don't think they would understand or

accept it. My parents' generation would think it is wrong, not right,

not normal, but I am who I am and they can either accept me for who I

am or not. It is down to them. You come from a Muslim Pakistani family

will. What was their reaction when you came out aged 15? That was

nearly 20 years ago. Incredulity. They were just incredulous. You are

gay? What? I think they thought I was too young to understand what I

was saying. I don't think it impacted them in the way that it has

now. It has been a journey since then. My sister is understood. They

knew that you don't say that unless you are authentically attracted to

the same gender. But it was hard finding acceptance and I still

haven't found the acceptance that I really feel that I need. From

relatives? Actually I don't have a lot of relatives in the UK. I have

got some cousins. The rest of my family is in Pakistan. I am open on

Facebook and I have had smatterings of acceptance from them. But here in

the community back home in Glasgow, I haven't found the acceptance. I

instinctively know that I am not really massively welcome as an

openly gay man. At community events, weddings and things, I am not

invited any more. I would say that the option to go back into the

community and be part of the community is always there but I need

that golden ticket. I need to marry a girl to be back. Do your parents

still think you are going to marry a woman? There is some pressure to do

it. I don't think they wanted to do it. I think they felt pressure from

the rest of the community to get a marriage of convenience. The

attitude is that the girl's duty is to hide your sexuality for you.

Protestations that that isn't fair on the girl fall on deaf ears. What

more needs to be done or is the fight over? We have made fantastic

progress. Compared to a couple of decades ago, Britain is almost a

different country. There has not only been a change in the law, but a

change attitudes. Public attitudes are much more supportive, although

you have said, there are still families who don't accept their LGBT

kids. There is still homophobic hate crime today. 45% of young LGBT kids

are bullied in schools and a lot of schools don't have an anti-bullying

programme that specifically addresses that issue. There is big

progress but more to be done. I think what we would like to reach is

a situation where people's sexuality doesn't matter and nobody cares.

Gay, straight, bisexual, trans. We want to get to a situation where

nobody really cares that we accept the person and they love who they

wish to love. George, you want an apology for the fact that you were

convicted in the 1970s for gross indecency. You can't actually get a

pardon because it is to do with the fact that the offence was in a

public toilet. But what you want is an apology. I want an apology to the

whole of the gate community for persecution of us for so many years.

The police went out of their way to catch us, persecute and prosecute

as. I think that is wrong. I didn't ask to be gay, I didn't choose to be

gay, I was born that way. Therefore, once or twice I have spoken to

children in school, and I say put your hands up if you are

left-handed. Quite a number do. Now, I have got something to tell you. I

am homosexual and I didn't ask to be. It is just nature. I would think

in my opinion 5% or 10% of men are born that way. How is the campaign

to get an apology going? Only a couple of days ago, New South

Wales and New Zealand, it was on the radio, they've asked for a law,

totally apologising for their whole communities for their law against

homosexuality. That's what I want in this country. Who do you want to

apologise? The government. The Prime Minister? The whole of the House of

Commons. A unanimous debate and a unanimous apology to the whole of

the gay community for the law of gross indecency should never have

been brought into being, it should never have been brought in. Do you

agree, Peter? Yes. We need a formal apology from the Prime Minister

herself. She's the leader of the nation and she needs to make that

formal apology, as do Chief Constables, like Cressida Dick, head

of the Metropolitan Police. She needs to say, on behalf of the

police, that they are sorry and apologise for the historic

persecution of gay people. I think that would be a very important way

of drawing a line under the historic persecution that so many gay people

faced. If you talk about the last 100 years, about 100,000 gay and

bisexual men were convicted for behaviour that in most cases

wouldn't have been a crime if their partner had been a woman. That's

shocking. Many of the men went to prison. Some of them were attacked

and beaten by neighbours. Some were ostracised and rejected by families,

they are now alcoholics, some had severe mental illnesses, some

committed suicide. It's a shocking tale of stories. Jennifer says there

is still so much to do to achieve true equality but brilliant that you

are discussing the experience of HGBT people. Tim says what a

struggle to get this far and attitudes still have to change. Sean

says, we had over 30 gay insults outside our house in 2012. The

perpetrator was known to us and the police. I apprehended the

individual. I had to ask the police to arrest him. The police were not

interested and the CPS said there wasn't enough evidence. Can you

imagine a time when everybody treats everybody equally, when there were

no homophobic insults or attacks? Can I imagine a time? Not really

actually. Just from knowing how attitudes prevail, I suppose as

humans, we tend to group people up and the majority tend to kind of

hold sway over minorities that will deviate from the norm.

It's about educating people actually. You have changed your

mind, you couldn't see it now you can. What about you, Winnie, how old

are you, do you mind me asking? 35. Do you imagine an era in your

lifetime when there is equality, no insults, people treat you fairly and

equally? I really hope there could be a time like that. At the moment,

hearing everybody's experiences, it does seem quite far away but I think

with a lot of support, education, especially Pride this year in London

was absolutely amazing, the turnout was amazing and friends supporting

colleagues and that, there could be a time but at the moment there is a

long way ahead. An e-mail from someone who doesn't wish us to use

their name. I'm a minister in a church and I'm totally unable to

come out as gay. The church has not fully accepted gay relationships and

at least one that I lead would be very much against me being gate.

It's a difficult situation but as I still want to serve God and carry on

working in this capacity because I'm gay doesn't change anything. I hope

that this will make a difference. What would you say to that? George?

Oh, dear. Oh, dear, I don't know. What would you say, Peter? I can

understand his predicament entirely. It's only if we all come out that

homophobia will be challenged and vanquished. So find supportive

friends. We need people in all religions to challenge the

homophobia that exists there to stand up against it and explain the

case that love and compassion should triumph over prejudice and hate.

Does that include people in the public eye who're not yet out?

Absolutely. When I was growing up in the 60s there were no openly gay

public figures at all. In the 70s, they were stereotypical versions

mostly of gay men and hardly any lesbians. We now have lots of people

out in public life but there are certain parts of life where it's

still very unacknowledged. So in faith communities, there really is

still a big issue about LGBT people and our acceptance and, all the

major religions are supposedly about love and compassion so therefore

surely they should accept their members and their faith leaders

who're lesbian, gay or bisexual. It's a part of life, you know. Every

society and culture throughout history, there'll be LGBT people,

it's just part of a spectrum of human sexuality and we should just

get used to it and accept it. I agree. Thank you very much for

coming on the programme, George, lovely to see you, thank you Peter,

Winnie as well. Get in touch with us, you can e-mail us anonymously.

Still to come: New powers are not being used by the authorities

despite a rise in hospital admissions. In a moment we speak to

the family of a small girl who was mauled after five doings broke into

her garden. We meet Love Island's fans and critics. Here is Rachel in

the newsroom. The parents of Charlie Gard return to the High Court today

with the judge set to consider new evidence from a US neurologist. His

parents want to take their terminally ill baby to America for

experimental treatment but doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital

believe it won't work and say the 11-month-old should be allowed to

die with dignity. The Government's promising what it calls a revolution

in the way electricity is generated, used and stored. The Business

Secretary Greg Clark is to announce more investment in battery

technology and details of a competition to boost innovation in

energy storage. Under the plans, households could save up to ?40

billion by 2015, it's thought. Britain's economic growth forecast

has been downgraded by the International Monetary Fund

following a weaker than expected performance at the start of the

year. Back in April it was predicted the economy would grow by 2%. That

figure has now been revised down to 1.7%. The Treasury says the report

highlights the importance of a good brx it deal with the EU.

The Duke of Cambridge has revealed how he tells his children stories

about their grandmother Diana Diana Princess of Wales. That is a summary

of the latest news. More at Ten. And Olly is back with the sport.

These are the headlines: England's woman have wound their fourth

cricket up with, they beat India in a thrilling finale. Anya Shrubsole

was the star. Chris Froome said this was his toughest win of the Tour de

France. He said he'd like to carry on competing for another five years.

Jordan Spieth let slip a led at the Open but won brilliantly, finished

clear of Matt Kuchar. Rory McIlroy was joint fourth. England are almost

certain of a quarter-final place at the women's European Championship in

Holland after a 2-0 win against Spain. Jodie Taylor scored her

fourth goal of the tournament. Qualification is out of Scotland's

hands as they lost 2-0 to Portugal. More sport later.

Powers brought in to curb doing attacks are not being used to

protect people from dangerous doings. ASBOs for doings were

brought in three years ago, giving the police and local authorities

more powers to demand irresponsible doing owners take steps to control

their animals' behaviour and prevent afabbings. The notices are usually

issued to deal with minor things like when a doing has been

aggressive. They order the responsible person to stop doing

something like letting the doing into a children's play area or

making sure their pet is muzzled. Figures have revealed they are not

being used regularly. More than three quarters of the 311 councils

who responded to our Freedom of Information request have not issued

a single one of the notices since they were introduced. Here with us

Sandra McKevitt whose niece was attacked in her front garden by five

doings. This is the first time she is speaking about the attack since

it happened in May. Also two other guests. Some of you may find the

photos we are going to show upsetting. How surprised are you

Trevor to find that the notices are still not being used? I suppose it's

relatively early days, it's still a disappointment. The intention is

that it should provide for early inter-General Election to nip the

problem in the bud before it gets out of hand. If it's not used, we

are missing out on that opportunity. Why are they not being used? It may

be that the victims just don't know that they should be complaining

about it. It may be councils don't have the resources to deal with it.

There could be some kind of confusion between police and council

or lack of knowledge from the enforcers themselves. Is it the

council's responsibility to issue the notices? Could be the council or

the police. Sandra, thank you for coming on the programme. You had the

most horrific experience earlier this year with your niece, Ella.

Tell our audience a little bit about what happened? We were in the back

garden having a picnic with Ella, Corey and Isla and they were

starting to play a little game of tag. Then Corey and Isla were near

the back door and me and Ella were further up the garden. We heard a

loud bang on the six foot fence. The doing's head broke through. I

immediately thought, this isn't going to end well, get the kids out

of the way. So I asked Isla and Corey to go into the kitchen and

stay there until I joined them with Ella. So I told them not tolike at

the doings, not to run, take their time, go slowly. And then while I

was telling them to do that, I got hold of Elle what's hand and by this

time they'd all come through and they were circling us. How many

doings? There was five of them. American bulldogs? Yes. American

bully doings. I grabbed hold of Ella by the hand to lift her up and one

of them had actually sunk his teeth into her shoulder and into her leg

and then it was just absolute chaos. I was fighting, punching, kicking

the doings trying to get them off her. My neighbour was shouting over

his side of the fence, saying try and throw her over. They just

wouldn't leave her alone. A neighbour at the back eventually

jumped over the fence and distracted them and I saw my chance then to

escape with Ella and we got through to the front of the house where

people were trying to help us. A medic came first, he thought it was

just a doing bite. He was horrified by what he found. I learnt later on

that he was actually off with stress because he didn't realise how

horrific her injuries were. What kind of injuries did she sustain?

They basically just tore her face. Her cheek. You could see her bone,

the skull. One of them got her by the mouth and severed all the

nerves. They tore at her skull. She was bitten all over on the legs, the

back, the arms and the blood was everywhere. The ambulance came. They

realised they needed to get her to Alder Hey quickly. So the Air

Ambulance landed nearby and they flew her, her heart stopped. She

stopped breathing. When she got to Alder Hey, she had to endure an

eight-hour operation while the fabulous surgeons there basically

had to sew her face back on. Tell us how she is now. She is a

fighter. She teaches us. They told us that she would not be able to do

anything nowadays and within hours she was sitting up and trying to

boss us about. She is totally confused. The other two kids were

terrified of dogs before. This has just confirmed their fears. If we go

out anywhere, it takes hours of coaxing. Will there be dogs? Where I

work, they very generously got a lovely garden set of swings for us,

and she wants them indoors. The psychological effects of it. I have

nightmares that I have gone blind and she is shouting for me to help

her and I can't see her. She wakes up herself screaming get the dogs

off me. The others are the same. You had complained about the dogs and he

talked about the fact that they were aggressive and there was the stink

of dog mess the whole time. I was getting evidence together myself. We

basically couldn't go out in the back garden. I had spoken to my

neighbour. He is not a bad person. You can talk to him. I will never

forget the look on his face when he realised what the dogs had done. He

was absolutely distraught. What happened to the dogs and the owner?

The dogs were taken away and destroyed. The puppies were given to

charity. The dog owner is now in prison. Let me read some messages

from people listening to you talk about this. Colleen says I have a

band breed pit bull type dog. It has an amazing temperament and it loves

children. I believe it is how you treat the dog which determines the

way it behaves. John has texted and said he owns a pit bull. I don't

think the Dangerous Dogs Act works. As an owner of a dangerous dog, in

inverted commas, which he has had since eight weeks old, it is the

most placid dog you could ever meet. The issue is at the other end of the

lead. The dog is a reflection of you. Tyler says I feel that dog

breeds that are known to be violent should be banned. How people with

these breed can get away with it, I don't know. What is your take on

this and the fact that dogbos are not being used? I can think of

nothing worse than this event. Children playing in their own garden

should of course be safe. We accept that the Dangerous Dogs Act is not

working but there is a reluctance to change because the last thing we

want to see is further attacks. We did hope that these new notices

would help things. We wanted it to act as an early warning system. In

these circumstances, what we have got to remember is that there has

been a change in the law to make on private property and offence. That

is what is happening in this case. But we want to see things that

prevent these attacks from occurring rather than acting after the event.

It is all very well prosecuting and destroying the dog. We need

prevention. We hoped the new notices would give the opportunity for

people to act as an early warning system, to alert the local

authorities, and it is very disappointing that they are not

being used. The kennel club ran an event for local authorities earlier

this year to highlight these issues. It seems that all too often they

want to bring in blanket notices to protect certain areas rather than

targeting individuals. I think something needs to change. So it is

a wasted opportunity in a way? I think it is. It is early days and I

think the local authorities need to look at themselves and say what more

can we do to protect communities? Thank you very much for talking to

us. We appreciate it. And all the best to the children.

It's been the surprise hit of the summer.

The dating show Love Island comes to a climax this evening.

For those who haven't followed every coupling and break up

and, full disclosure, that includes me,

Put a group of impeccably-groomed, attractive young men and women

encourage them to get into couples and watch what happens.

The most popular couple at the end of the eight weeks wins ?50,000

Here's a taster of the series and some of its top tweeted moments.

At number four, they say honesty is the best policy unless

you want people to like you, and Theo really doesn't

I think if Tyler really liked him, she should go as well really.

I'm just saying, if she really cared...

There's a time and a place, and it's not the right

At number three, Liv wishes Stormzy would just shut up and Chris

At two, just when Olivia thought she was safe,

Actually, we threw in a pair of spanners,

Absolutely speechless for the first time in my life.

At number one, it was a busy old night on Twitter when Johnny

ditched Queen Camilla of the Villa and went in for the kill with Tyler.

You're very important to me and I would never BLEEP

I don't want to see you upset in a million years.

There is no relevance of how I feel right now,

to what you should then be pursuing with Tyler.

Precisely 7.3 seconds after mugging off Camilla, he's away to PDA

Kady McDermott came third on last year's show.

Jeremy Lumb can't stop watching the programme

after his girlfriend introduced him to the show.

Sam Taylor, who's the editor of Britain's oldest women's

magazine, thinks Love Island sets a bad example.

And Emma Kelly is deputy entertainment editor at Metro.co.uk.

Welcome. You met Scott on the last series. Are you still together? Yes,

we live together and we even have a little dog. It is serious. What was

it like starting a relationship on television? Is very weird, I'm not

going to live. It isn't your average, is it? But one to tell

their grandchildren. Why do you love it? I don't know. At first my

girlfriend was watching it and I was watching it with their resentfully,

that I got into it and I realised I enjoyed having something mindless to

watch in the is evening and talking to everybody about it. I am on so

many Whatsapp groups talking about it. Not everybody is watching it! It

is getting 2.2 million and it is more popular than the first series.

Why? It was a slow burner. It came after Celebrity Love Island and last

year it started to get more momentum and people were talking about it and

this year it is an event television, which we don't really have other

than Strictly Come Dancing and The X factor. Everybody likes talking

about what everybody is watching at work the next day. It is a communal

event to watch. You invest in the people. Definitely. And you are not

a fan? I can't say that I am a fan. It is a mystery to me. It is the

lowest common denominator. No disrespect because I am sure it was

full of lovely people. But where do we go from here? We have basically

got couples just picking each other based on sex. That is it. Sorry, it

isn't just based on sex. This year, Gabby Adcock cell are in love, you

can tell, and they haven't had sex. -- Gabby and Marcel. I found my soul

mate on there and we are going to marry. Sex is a big part of a

relationship that it is not just about sex. No, but the highest

traffic on social media and the young people I work with, the

primary driver seems to be whether or not somebody is going to be

getting off with somebody or not. There is a language around that. Is

that a bad thing? I think it is a confusing thing particularly for

young girls watching that. Is this really the most important thing

about me? Walking around in a bikini, as long, bursting a balloon

with my bottom. I don't think that is true. My friends that watch it,

at least, we watch and it is the latest when somebody had sex, or

they are swapping couples, that people are actually watching for the

human relationships as well. They invest in the couples and people

want to see them commit and work after the show. People can relate to

it. That is why it is so big. It is about couples finding out about each

other and falling in love. Who doesn't want to watch couples

falling in love? Yes, you argue and you have sex, but that is part of a

relationship. I think everyone's favourite couple this year is

probably the bromance with Chris, nonsexual. That is tribute to the

50th anniversary that changed the world for the better! Of course. I

am sure Peter Tatchell would tell us. It is also the trials. The

ping-pong trial. But you do them on hen dos. You do them on nights out

with your friends. Do you? Yes, I think young people relate to these

things. You get your bare bottom out and you burst balloon? The girls get

their bottoms out because they want to. It is ready to wear thong

bikinis and if you have a nice bottom, why not? So girls go to hen

dos and squash balloons? I went on a hen do in a beat that we didn't do

exactly that but we did fun game that it was the best thing ever. I

don't think it is demeaning for lots of these people. They know what they

are getting into, they are having fun, they are living in a villa.

They are in their 20s and who can say they have been an Love Island? I

don't think I said it is demeaning. It is a confusing message for

younger women. A lot of the terms, we know that they are printed on

Primark T-shirts. Like you are 100% on paper. What I can't understand is

they are in front of them, so they are not on paper. If somebody asked

you what is your type and use their tall, dark and handsome, that is

your type on paper. But they are in front of them? But talking to your

friends, you say they are my type on paper. If I like dark hair, I say he

is my type on paper. So what would be the next level after Love Island?

Where do we go culturally from there? Does it have to go anywhere

culturally? Can it just be entertaining escapism? I think so.

People have found love and I am an example. It is a dating show. Blind

Date, souped up. For the summer. We already have these shows. Naked

Attractions. That is something else. We already have these shows and I

don't think Love Island is as salacious as people are making it

out to be. It is based on people finding love. Yes, they have sex,

but couples have sex. And nice people win in the end, broadly

speaking? I like to think that Scott and I are nice! I didn't mean that!

And the couple that came second, they are engaged. They are head over

heels for each other. The couple that came first are unfortunately

not together any more but they are expecting a baby. It can happen. The

final is tonight. Three of you will be watching. Will you watch the

final? I feel compelled to! You will be watching! OK! Thank you for

coming in. Coming up: Four out of five NHS trusts are not giving women

smear test results within the two week deadline and we will find out

why. All the latest news and sport in a moment but first the weather

with Carol. Good morning. Weather is mixed fortunes today. In

a west, sunshine, but in the east, cloud. Look at these beautiful

pictures. Blue skies in Cornwall. Another lovely one from the Wirral.

This is Cambridgeshire, where we have got more cloud. You can see

nicely in the satellite picture that west is best in terms of sunshine.

In central and eastern areas this morning, more cloud. That is

producing drizzly outbreaks of rain. Through the day, this weather front

responsible for that will push in the direction of the North Sea. It

should start to brighten up under the ridge of high pressure across

the Midlands for example. East Anglia could see some sunshine

through the course of the afternoon as well. If you are anywhere down

this North Sea coastline, it will feel quite chilly. We have that

onshore wind. It is accents rating the coalfield. If you are in the

cloud or rain, you will feel that. -- it accentuates the cold feeling.

At Scotland is nicer, with Glasgow reaching 26. Cloud breaking up in

Lothian and the Borders towards Northumberland. North West England

hanging onto sunshine. Where we have the influence of the weather front,

there is more cloud, especially in eastern areas with the rain. East

Anglia has got brighter skies and the Midlands has got brain is coming

through. We are back into the sunshine as we drift into south-west

England. 23 in Cardiff and Plymouth and for most of Wales it will be dry

and sunny. Into the evening and overnight, if anything we start to

lose the showers. The winds ease down a touch and we get clear skies

and isolated pockets of fog, nothing too dramatic. Under clear skies

across the Highlands, temperatures will dip down lower than you can see

in the charts, down into single figures. Tomorrow we start with

sunshine where we have had clear skies by night and there will be

some cloud around but through the day, it will turn over and we will

see sunny intervals develop in. Drier down the east coast and not as

cold as today. We have cloud coming down across Cornwall, the Isles of

Scilly, courtesy of this low pressure, and on Wednesday it will

rattle quickly from west to east. If you look at the squeeze on the

isobars, it will also be quite windy. A blustery, wet day. When she

starts off dry in the east, but it will not take long for the rain to

rattle through. -- Wednesday starts off dry in the east. It will

eventually clear for some. Behind it, bright skies, sunshine and

showers. That is how we are going to end the week, sunshine and showers.

This week is fairly changeable with the wettest day on Wednesday. And

rather cool if you are stuck under the cloud and the rain. And Thursday

and Friday and into the weekend, sunshine and showers.

Hello it's Monday, it's 10 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire.

Our top story today; the judge considering whether to allow doctors

to turn off the life support for terminally ill baby Charlie Gard

will consider new evidence from an American neurologist today.

Charlie's parents say they have been victims

of a "backlash" from the public after Great Ormond Street Hospital

revealed staff had received death threats.

Threats have been made to the staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital and

the parents. At no stage has Charlie's supporters condoned any

such action. Also on the programme;

their lives. It's important that they know that.

Paul says baby Charlie should be allowed to die with dignity and it's

futile keeping him alive. Another person says he should go to the US,

it might improve things but it might not. Give it a try. Why should a

judge play God. Charlie Gard's parents are back at

That's a summary of the latest BBC News, more at 10.30.

We'll show you more of that documentary later, it's on ITV

tonight. Richard on gay sex says partly

decriminalised, not decriminalised. Nothing's changed. Even though

decriminalised, the long, slow grind of having parry's had profound

effects on me -- parity. My hope is that people growing up now are given

a chance to live a life without knowing what it's like to be on the

outside looking in. Matt says I came out when I was 16, I'm 32 and my

parents kicked me out, then they offered me therapy. The therapist

asked me to leave and said there's nothing wrong with you, it's your

parents that need therapy. Ever since then, my parents slowly

changed their view and are now very supportive. Kevin says I came out in

1999, my family disowned me. They finally accepted me in 2005. I still

get verbal abuse. Only six weeks ago I returned from a night out in

London at GAYE, we were abused and spat at on the night bus. My partner

and I were upset. The work is not over. Richard says, I came out 25

years ago, the change over those years has been amazingly positive,

however there is still a really long way to go. Get in touch with us. If

you are texting, you will be charged. Olly is back with the

sport! England's women have won the Cricket World Cup for a fourth time.

It was a thrilling final against India at Lord's. England batted

first. They set a fairly modest 229 for India to chase. They looked like

achieving that with a classy knock of 86 from their opener. They

collapsed, lost the last seven with 28 runs. Anya Shrubsole was the star

of the show. Pure elation I think. I always think it's better winning

when you're all out there in the field because you have your

team-mates around you. This World Cup's really been a team effort.

People have chipped in, we have fought our way through. Haven't

necessarily won the prettiest at times. Tournament cricket is all

about winning, not necessarily about how you win, it's all about getting

over the line. Chris Froome says he'd like to take part in the Tour

de France for another five years. He's second on the list of all-time

victories. It was the traditional victory parade yesterday. It was his

third triumph in a row, he did it without winning a single stage. His

winning margin of 54 seconds was the narrowest. He says this tour was the

hardest because his rivals were so much better this year. Incredible

feeling to ride on to the Elysee even after having done it three

times previously. It doesn't diminish at all. It's still all the

same emotions here. I mean, it's incredible. Pollutely incredible. --

absolutely incredible. Jordan Spieth had a roller coaster of a day

yesterday. He went walk about on the 13th, sliced his drive, spent 20

minutes finding the ball which was unplayable and working out where to

drop it with the help of the officials. He finally took his shot

from the mid offal the practise area. Three birdies, an eagle saw

Spieth claiming the Claret Jug by three shots. His first Open triumph.

He's 23, he's also won the Masters and the US Open. Jack Nicklaus is

the only other player to have won three major titles at that age. Some

football for you, England look almost certain of a quarter-final

spots at the European Championship in the Netherlands. They beat Spain

2-0 and were helped by a change of heart by the referee. Ellen White

handled the ball in the box. The ref awarded Spain a penalty but changed

her mind with clarification from England's players that it had been

accidental. After that let-off, England's Jodie Taylor doubled their

lead, so 2-0 to England. They're top of the group. Scotland's hopes of

reaching the quarters is out of their hands. They're bottom of the

group after losing 6-0 to England in the first match. They lost 2-1 to

Portugal last night. Erin Cuthbert equalised but they fell behind

shortly after. The Scots will need a big win and they'll be hoping

England beat Portugal. The athletics paras came to an end last night.

They won four on the final morning yesterday, including a gold for

Sammy Kinghorn who added the 100 metres title to her 200 metres gold.

She didn't finish on the podium in the 800. The British team won eight

more medals at the Championships than they managed in Doha two years

ago. So the paras going from strength-to-strength. Headlines

later. Thank you very much. Nearly three years ago,

so-called Islamic State fighters swept through northern Iraq

where the countries oldest ethnic They expelled thousand

of them from their homes Many of the men were shot,

while the women and children were kidnapped, taken as hostage

and raped in some cases raped The German government has stepped

in to help by re-settling many of the women who have managed

to escape captivity. We've been given exclusive access

to a small group of them who are living in a secret location,

in a psychiatric hospital It's the first time many

of the women have spoken publicly Our reporter Fiona Lamdin has

spent a couple of days with them as they attempted

to re-build their lives. As you'd expect with this story some

of the details in their story are upsetting and graphic

and you may not want 17 Yazidis are living on this

corridor in the middle of It's a long way from their

home in northern Iraq, Three years ago, on 3rd August 2014,

they were attacked by IS fighters. Many of the men were

shot, and the women She and her family tried

to escape up the mountain, Mount Sinjar, but they couldn't

run fast enough. She was then kidnapped,

torn apart from her mother, She told me she saw things that

will always haunt her. Things which I found very

difficult to listen to. We're not allowed to show

you where the girls are living. Many of their families

are still in captivity. But not far from here,

those 17 Yazidis are integrating Many of them are even

going to school here as they start So we focus on certain emotions

like love, peace and joy, to forget fear, anxiety

and other negative emotions. And here to help them, a team

of mentors from across the world. Her nephew Amin was only

seven when IS fighters He hasn't seen his

parents for three years. But in the last month his mother has

been spotted in a camp During today's meditation,

he imagines that all his people are released and he sees himself

reunited, celebrating It's thought his father

was killed by IS fighters, the same who kidnapped his

aunt and kept her a sex I'm telling them I want them to

write down their dreams and goals. After all these girls have been

through, it will take years Today's art therapy

session is just a start. We can't show you this

13-year-old girl. She doesn't know if her

parents are still alive. She too was captured by IS,

and now only communicates Jacqueline, tell me the difference

you have seen in the girls It's incredible, going from tears,

sadness, no eye contact... Leading this team is Jacqueline

Isaac, an American lawyer, who spends much of her time

advocating for women She was working in Iraq,

taking aid to those Yazidis who escaped from IS by fleeing

to Mount Sinjar - a mountain close to their villages,

where many were left I met a mother and she

was telling me how her She didn't know

what happened to her. Make your government go out

there and get our girls, Just days later, in one

of the villages below the mountain, Ekhlas managed to escape

while her abuser was out fighting. She was taken to a refugee camp

and a few days later This footage was filmed just

days after her escape. When I first met her,

her head was down. There was no eye contact

in the beginning. It was a porch,

they were all sitting. There were counsellors we had

brought, they were sitting on the right-hand side,

on stand-by to give I remember thinking,

this is not the time This is just the time for

recognising them as human beings. The song she is looking

for, is a song talking about what happened to her family

and her people. Three months later,

Ekhlas moved again. She's just one of thousands

of Yazidis resettled They go to mainstream school

with the rest of the town every day. But their education doesn't solely

take place in German classrooms. Back where they live

in the hospital, as well as music therapy, they are also being taught

English by Jacqueline's team. Despite living 6000 miles apart,

Jacqueline is dedicated to these girls, visiting them

every few months. But even when she isn't with them,

she talks to them online every week, When you look at all the recruits,

Isis recruits coming from all over the world,

how did they get What if we could reverse

what was used as negative? What if we could use the same tool

to transform the lives of the next Then we open up a centre in Iraq

where over 40 girls are learning English through Skype,

through the internet, by teachers who have

volunteered their time. Every day the story was,

"this is what has happened to me, this is what has happened

to my people. But now they are overcoming

their story of the past, and creating a story

to define their own future. Just last year she

addressed our Parliament. The result of her story -

the House of Commons unanimously declared Yazidis victims

of an Isis genocide. She now wants to become

a lawyer here in Germany. Would you like to go back

to Iraq to live there? These girls are now

starting to live again, but they are living

with deep, deep scars. These messages from you. Harrowing

ordeal. I hope this young woman can get the help she needs to overcome

the trauma. The UK should take these girls from refugee camps and do the

same as Germany. That report was from Fiona Landen.

The BBC has learned that 80% of NHS areas are failing to meet

the government's two week target for women to receive

There's currently a backlog caused by future changes to the way

Laboratories say they're struggling to retain staff who will no longer

be required when automated screening starts in 2019.

Let's talk to Lou Armer who waited for seven weeks to receive

And Robert Music is the chief executive of Jo's Cervical

Welcome to you both. Good morning. Tell us what it is like waiting for

seven weeks to get your results. It is horrendous. It is so hard not to

get anxious with any test. But the longer it goes on, the more your

head ties itself in knots and you start imagining all kinds of things.

Not very nice. It is not just impacting on you either, but your

family as well, isn't it? Of course the more stressed you are, the more

it affects everybody around you. I just worried about it quietly

really, and I was waiting for seven weeks and at the end of the seventh

week, I got a letter inviting me to go for a smear test when I had just

had one. It was at that point when I got in touch with my surgery to find

out what was happening. Fortunately I got the result that day but they

had only arrived at the surgery that day. I was really stressed and

anxious. Why this backlog? Cervical screening, the first thing that we

must say is that this is an important and powerful test and it

prevents 75% of cervical cancers and we are very lucky to have the

programme. The programme is going through some changes. In 2019 it

will change. Cervical cancer is caused by the humour papilloma virus

in 95% of all cases. And in 2019 they will change the way they look

at smear tests. Instead of looking at the cells in a laboratory, they

will look at the human papilloma virus DNA. That will identify women

who are high risk earlier, and it does mean that there will be a

reduction in terms of the numbers of people needed to be working in the

laboratories. It seems to me that this is the problem. It is because

the programme is changing into people are, leaving the laboratories

now and there is a backlog, which is very concerning. What difference

could a backlog make when it means that people like Lou are not getting

the results in two weeks but are waiting for seven weeks? Anxiety and

stress, but hopefully in terms of long-term concerns there are not too

many. Some people might fall through the net and get a delayed diagnosis.

If people have a bad experience around the programme, they may not

come back. We are at a place where cervical screening is at a 19 year

low and we are worried about the numbers of people attending. Why is

that? You get letters every few years reminding you. But it is up to

you to make the appointment. There are many barriers. We are dependent

on the different age groups, different ethnicities. Sometimes it

is simply access ability. If you are put off by a bad experience, you

might not come back. It is very important that we turn around and

reduce this backlog. And it is two years until the programme is

introduced, so it could get worse, which is a worry. And when you got

the results after seven weeks, what were you told, Lou? I was really

lucky. It hadn't brought up anything. It was a huge relief. But

if it had not been good news, I would have been thrown into another

roller-coaster. But I was lucky that it was a good result. That is good

to hear. Thank you, Lou and Robert. NHS England say they are working to

reduce the backlog. They closely monitor the turnaround times were

cervical screening against a very high process measure. That means

that 90% of women screened should receive their results within two

weeks. Cervical screening saves an estimated 5000 lives a year so it is

vital that women take up the opportunity to be tested.

The Police Watchdog is investigating the arrest of a young black man who

died. We'll bring you the details. And, Chris Froome, Britain's Chris

The IPCC is investigating the death of a 20-year-old black man chased

into a shop and restrained by officers in East London. There's

been an outcry since security camera footage of the incident was shared

on social media. Reacting to what she saw, Pauline,

described as the Hackney heroin after the London riots, she knew the

young man in that footage and says, he was no angel, he was well liked

and helped lots of young people in the community. That boy should be

alive today, sitting in a cell somewhere being able to tell his

side of the story. But instead he's laying on a morgue waiting for an

autopsy and waiting to be buried. And we've got to pick up the pieces,

the community's got to pick up the pieces.

Former Metropolitan Police superintendent Lee row Logan told me

the CCTV footage raises some important questions -- Leroy Logan.

I saw the footage and obviously it's showing an officer restraining a

person believed to be a suspect and, of course, force was being used

around the person's upper body. Of course, we now know that that person

has passed away. When it comes to restraining a suspect, presumably

proportionality is the key, is it? Absolutely. Whenever any action that

an officer has to take has to take into account a person's human rights

and that must be clear in an officer's mind and he or she must

know that their action has to be proportionate, it has to be legal

and it has to be necessary. These are the tests that have to be looked

at by the investigating officers in the Independent Police Complaints

Commission. Of course, if it goes further, in terms of the Crown

Prosecution Service, or even further to the courts. As you well know,

there is often no time when it comes to an arresting officer to assess

the risks. That's presumably when the training kicks in. You make a

judgment, a decision and your training kicks in from there? Yes.

Officers are trained, they're professionals, so they should have

it clearly in their minds whenever they in any form of encounter with a

person, whether it's a suspect or otherwise, they have to do their

dynamic risk assessment. It's obviously, bearing in mind a safety

to the public, safety to themselves and obviously safety of the suspect,

and that's inherent of the job. They have to take these very critical

areas into consideration, especially when it comes to a volatile

situation, you know. Unfortunately, society, the courts, dictate that

officers have to be professional in a volatile situation as they are in

a reasonable and slow-moving situation. How significant could it

be that the Met say the suspect was taken ill after trying to swallow an

object? Well, it's obviously a consideration but however, you ever

to lack at it in the cold light of day and the legal test is, was the

officer's actions reasonable in trying to remove something out of

the person's mouth, if that's what they were trying to do? Fanned that

in any way -- if that contributed to that person, you know, being

traumatised in some way, that has to be taken into consideration. Those

are the things that, yes, it may be seen as a cause for some form of

defence, but ultimately, it will be looked at under legal tests of

whether it's proportionate and whether it's necessary. Former

Metropolitan Police superintendent Leroy Logan. Britain's Chris Froome

has won the Tour de France for the fourth time in five years. This is

what he said after winning. Incredible feeling to ride on to the

Elysee, even after having done it three times previously, it doesn't

diminish it at all. It's still all the same emotions are here. It's

just incredible. Absolutely incredible. That is astonishing,

winning it takes more mental and physical preparation probably than

any other event. This tour in particular probably one of the most

ferocious. Three weeks, cyclists race 2,000 miles up some of the most

difficult hills imaginable. So why doesn't Chris Froome get the

recognition he deserves, why doesn't he get the love he deserves from the

British public. Let's talk to one of the country's leading cyclists.

We'll also hear from Michael Hutchinson on his way back from

Paris. David you say Chris Froome is one of the greatest sportsmen of

all-time, explain why you believe that? He's won the Tour de France

four times and you could easily argue that the Tour de France is the

single greatest sporting event, certainly the most gruelling. For

anybody to win that four times is pretty astonishing an achievement.

You don't have roads to train on, you don't have proper bikes. This is

a guy who learnt to cycle. He was a very middle class white kid living

in they Roby, he learns to sickle. He goes and lives in a township and

survives -- in Nairobi and learns to cycle. You never expect he can end

up at the Tour de France and win the race four times. In my view, he's

won it clean and I think he's doing an incredible amount to try to

restore cycling's lost trust. I'm not sure that he's succeeded, but

he's certainly, you know, made his contribution to a very difficult

situation. Why don't the British public love him more? I think a lot

of people who understand cycling and sport, who understand people do love

him. There's plenty of people who don't understand him. I mean, I read

this morning he wasn't on the list for BBC Sports personality of the

year, sorry it makes a mockery of that. He wasn't on it. The

knighthoods that Bradley Wiggins and Dave Brailsford receives, nothing

more deserving than a case of Chris Froome for a knighthood. He was born

in Kenya, he felt he was British but he's never lived here, which is

true, but it would have been a much more romantic story had Chris

embraced his kind of Kenyan roots and said, I'm Kenyan, but he didn't

feel Kenyan and couldn't fake it. Is that one of the reasons he doesn't

live here or play the celebrity game, you know, you are not going to

see him having selfies with Paul Weller, for example, or what about

Team Sky's difficulties with Bradley Wiggins and the therapeutic use

exemptions and the Jiffy bag? Yes, that definitely has seriously

impacted on Team Sky with their credibility. It's impacted on

Bradley and Dave. The rider most critical of what went on at Team Sky

at that time was Chris Froome. He's never supported Dave Brailsford on

this, he's been almost hostile towards what happened at that time

and that's much to his credit. But the public really, I mean, it's

called Sports Personality of the Year for a reason, people latch on

to who they see as personalities. The person they love may not be the

person who is loved inside the locker room. Chris Froome is adored

by the people who write for him. A Polish guy wrote this year about

him, he's a young guy, he's a real star of the sport, he completely

devoted himself to Chris Froome and I mean I've been covering the France

for over 30 years and I would reckon he was the single greatest of

keeping his performance of one man subverting all of his own ambition

to help his leader. He literally Torode a stand still, he was on a

climb -- literally on a rode to a stand still. He couldn't turn the

pedals any more. He literally had to stop, put his foot down and try to

start again and Froome inspires that kind of loyalty. And team ethic.

Yes. Thank you, David, very interesting, thank you. Let me bring

in Michael Hutchinson. What is it about Team Sky, what do they have

that other teams don't, apart from Chris Froome? ! Team Sky have the

highest budget probably of any sports team and they know how to

spend it. They're very ruthless and focussed. They analyse the course

this year in huge detail, they computer model parts of the courses

to discover the best way to ride it. They brought a traditional sport

that thrived on flare and panache, they've modernised that. Some people

like that a lot better than others. They've got money and know how to

spend it so they spend it wisely. On what sort of things, Michael? They

spend it on wind tunnel testing. They work on bikes, they've got the

best coaches, the best expertise and it's the margin of things. Dave

Brailsford when he was in charge of Team GB, it's that brought along to

the road cycling. What mental strength does it take to win the

Tour de France on several occasions? It's extraordinary. The Tour de

France, OK, obviously I'm biassed, I cannot think of another event that

is quite as physically relentless and gruelling as three weeks of

racing five to six hours a day every day and the mental pressure on

someone like Chris Froome. He doesn't get a day off. There are

flat stages that are physically easier for him, but he always has to

be in the right place, concentrating, never to be caught

out. He's in a position now where he's more likely to Les a Tour de

France than to win it and you lose it by making a small, silly mistake.

Thank you very much, Michael. Some comments from you. Brenda says

I always look forward to the Tour de France and I watch it excitedly but

the drug revelations of the past spoiled it for me. I didn't watch

this tour and I didn't feel elation hearing about Chris Froome's win.

And this one, what is the obsession the BBC has about Chris Froome not

being loved? Thank you for those. Scientists say they're examining

a potential breakthrough in the case of the missing Sheffield toddler,

Ben Needham, who disappeared on the Greek island of Kos

26 years ago today. Human material has been found

in soil samples gathered last Then was 21 months old when he

disappeared and his mother had spent the last two and a half decades

searching for her son. We can speak to her now. Good morning. Thank you

very much for talking to us. I wonder how you respond to the fact

that signs of blood have been found on part of a sandal and on soil

inside a toy car recovered by the police searching for your son? It is

devastating, obviously. We believed what the police told us last year.

They didn't have any hard evidence, it was just information they

collected from people on Kos and people coming forward. But obviously

the samples were traced. They have found what they found and that just

confirms it for us. I am finding it quite hard to hear you but we are

going to persist, if that is all right with you. That's fine. I will

try and speak louder but it is very emotional today so it is difficult

to talk. I understand and I am very grateful that you are speaking to

us. The Detective Inspector in charge of the investigation, John

cousins, says it is still his professional belief that Ben died in

an accident at that farmhouse. What do you think? I think so. We have

worked very closely with John and the team over the last few years. I

couldn't wish for better detectives to have taken on this case and

helped. I 100% believe what John believes. When the information that

has been released to the public today comes out, what effect does

that have on you? Devastating, devastating. Because now we know not

only was there an accident at the time, we now know that Ben was taken

from the farmhouse and buried somewhere at the second site and

then possibly taken from that site and put elsewhere. It is horrific to

think that somebody could do that to a small child. It is devastating. I

am really sorry. I can't understand how any human being could do such a

thing. It is horrific, absolutely horrific. I wonder if you could give

our audience a little insight into the impact on you of spending all

this time trying to find out what happened to your little boy. It has

made me a very strong and independent person but it has also

torn mine and my family's lives apart. We will never be able to live

like a normal family. The search for Ben has always come first.

Throughout the last 26 years. Traumatic. You live your life on a

roller-coaster constantly, up and down, up and down, trying to deal

with emotions, depression, anxiety, torment, anger, frustration,

everything, week after week, month after month, year after year. It is

totally soul destroying. For these people to have watched this all

these years as well. These people have seen myself and my family on TV

begging and pleading for information and they kept it secret 26 years. I

don't know how anybody could do that to a family that has clearly given

their lives to trying to find him. You definitely believe that there

are some people still alive who know what happened and they should come

forward? Yes, I do. I do believe that. Definitely. At least one

person. I am 100% sure of that. I am sure the police would say that as

well. It has been one big cover-up to protect the man that had the

accident in the first place. I just think if these people have got any

ounce of humanity left in their bodies, they should let us know

where he is. They could do it anonymously. They don't have to give

their name. They could send an email to the police, even directed to

myself. We just want to find where he is now. Thank you very much. We

really appreciate your time. Thank you for talking to us on the

programme today. Thank you. Kerry Needham appealing for the one person

who she believes has information to come forward and get in touch with

the police and help them find Ben. Next on the programme, Prince

William reveals how he tells his children stories about their late

grandmother, Diana Princess of Wales. Prince Harry also speaks

candidly about their relationship with their mother. It is an an ITV

documentary that goes out tonight as they approach the 20th anniversary

of Diana's death. It includes moving tributes from Sir Elton John and the

princes speak of their regret that their last conversation with their

mother was rushed phone call. A photograph of the two boys made

public for the first time sums up the sense of fun described by Prince

William. Two decades on from her death, Prince William describes how

he keeps Diana's memory alive for his children. Constantly talking

about granny Diana. We have photos around. It is hard because Catherine

didn't know her. She cannot really provide that level of detail. I

regularly when I put George and Charlotte to bed talk about her. I

remind them that there were two grandmothers in their lives and it

is important that they know who she was and she existed. Prince Harry

was 12 when his mother died. He reflects with one of her friends,

self and John, about the work they did as committed AIDS activists. --

Sir Elton John. It was considered to be a gay disease. Was someone within

the royal family, a woman, straight, to have someone care from the other

side was an incredible gift. And you can see it as well. You look back to

these days, when the reality was doom and gloom. The reality then was

doom and gloom, yet everybody in that photograph is smiling. Because

of her. She had an energy, a radiance. Look at her face in every

photograph, there is a positive, wonderful glow. She had this

incredible ability that he inherited from me, and I said thank you, to

make them feel that everything would be all right. I haven't experienced

many people who had that ability. She could walk into a room of people

and make them feel that everything was great. Wow. The brothers recall

the last time they spoke to her and they reflect on the overwhelming

public reaction and how they coped with the week that culminated in her

funeral. In the documentary, Diana's children share their most intimate

memories of her. This is quite a special picture. It is quite sweet.

It is the first time that the two of us have ever spoken about her as a

mother. Believe it or not, you and I are both in this photograph. You are

in her tummy. Arguably a little bit to draw up until this point. It is

still raw. -- little bit too raw. Not many days go by that I don't

think about her. The 20th anniversary seems like a good time

to remember all the good things about her and hopefully provide a

different side to know that others have not seen before. We felt

incredibly loved, Harry and I. I am very grateful that the love still

feels there. It was that love. Even if she was on the other side of the

room, as her son, you could feel it. Our mother was a total paid through

and through. When everybody says to me, she was fun, give us an example,

all I can hear is her laughter in my head. That crazy laughter, just pure

happiness showing on her face. One of her motto is to me was you can be

as naughty as you want, just don't get caught. She was one of the

naughtiest parents. She would come and watch us play football and

smuggle sweets into our socks. I remember walking back from the

football match and having five packets of Starburst. That

documentary is broadcast on ITV and STV at nine o'clock tonight. Thank

you for your emails about being gay and coming out, and the way people

reacted. It is 50 years since the decriminalisation of two grown

consenting men having sex, effectively. 50 years this week.

David said he moved from Aldershot where he was not only out as gay but

about his involvement with the international AIDS crisis. I was

never assaulted in a military town. That was in Margaret Thatcher's

time. But having gone back into the closet in Exeter so I could care for

my elderly parents, I was attacked six times in the thirsty and the

police didn't do. After several more police constables, things are

improving but I am still being hassled by so-called Christians. Now

it is the politicians refusing to act. And this one, it is good to

offer people the opportunity to comment anonymously but it is sad

that people have got to. As a bisexual woman I have never

experienced prejudice. Maybe because it is taking the least seriously.

Most straight men find the notion titillating. I have been with the

men and the amount of times I am asked if I bring other women home to

him is ridiculous. Monogamy is monogamy, no matter what happens

between someone's legs. Thank you for that, Christina, and thank you

for giving your name. Tomorrow we hear from former Jehovah's Witnesses

who say they have been shunned by their community and their religion

after leaving it. Thank you for your company and have a good day.
