I'm Chloe Tilley, welcome to the programme. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
More than 12 months after the referendum, the government | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
is commissioning a study of the costs and benefits of EU | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
migrants on our economy and it's going to take more | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The charity Women's Aid is calling on the government to sign off | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
changes to court guidelines which aim to protect children | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
from violent fathers during custody battles - | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
they say the delays are putting lives at risk. | :00:36. | :00:51. | |
To actually be physically attacked, almost killed, and then be thrown | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
believe you or somehow you're held responsible for the violence that | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
We have always been told by doctors to finish a course of antibiotics | :00:59. | :01:14. | |
- experts say it puts some people at unnecessary risk | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
50 years ago today, homosexuality was partially decriminalised | :01:19. | :01:32. | |
Prime Minister Theresa May says the Conservative Party have been | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
wrong in the past but have come a long way we will take a look | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Coming up, we will look at the wildfires which have swept across | :01:43. | :02:06. | |
France. And Charlie Gard's parents have until noon to decide whether he | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
will go to a hospice. Do get in touch on all the stories | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
we're talking about this morning - use the hashtag Victoria LIVE | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
and if you text, you will be charged The government has taken | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
what is being described as a "major step" in developing | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
a new immigration policy. Home Secretary Amber Rudd is asking | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
independent migration experts to analyse the role of EU nationals | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
living and working in the UK. They will report back next | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
September - six months before the UK's deadline to leave | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
the European Union. However, critics say the study has | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
been commissioned too late. Our political guru Norman Smith | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
is in Westminster. Norman, just explain first of all, | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
what exactly is the government doing? Here we are a year on from | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
the referendum and the government decided they need to get a grip on | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
the contribution that EU nationals make to our economy, where they | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
work, what sort of role they play, how certain industries may depend on | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
them, whether other countries have a greater need for them, and our | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Labour shortages, to get a bigger picture on how much we need EU | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
nationals, and to come up with a strategy for our new immigration | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
system when we leave the EU. What is significant about this is the way | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said to business, I know you are | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
worried, I know you have concerns. I hear you, come and tell me what you | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
are worried about. That has led to fears among some Leave campaigners | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
that this report will be a way of the government climbing down on | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
tough immigration curbs. They will say business is very worried about | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
this, I'm not sure we can impose quite as tight curbs as people might | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
like. This morning, the Immigration Minister Brandon Lewis sought to | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
quash that idea, insisting that when we leave the EU in March 2019, that | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
will be the end of freedom of movement, and the public will have a | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
clear idea of the new immigration rules. Have a listen to what he | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
said. We are very clear about this, as is the Home | :04:19. | :04:32. | |
Secretary in her notes which she has outlined to the commission. Free | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
movement ends when we leave the European Union. We have also been | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
clear about having a smooth process which can make our economy prosper. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
The commission's work will help inform what industries and sectors | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
need within the new structure of immigration as they go forward. What | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
is interesting is both Mr Lewis and Amber Rudd are saying when we leave | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
in March 2019, that does not mean the new system starts them, it will | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
be phased in gradually. We do not know how long that process will be. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
It could stretch up to four years and experts say getting a new visa | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
system in place could take years. So getting the new immigration system | :05:10. | :05:22. | |
might not come into force. As I said earlier on since the Brexit vote, | :05:23. | :05:36. | |
why has it taken so long? They will induce the bet -- Brexit Immigration | :05:37. | :05:46. | |
Bill. It is all the bits higgledy-piggledy, you have to say, | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
the new Immigration Bill will be introduced at the start of the year. | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
It all seems a little bit out of sequence. Or to speak to. Let's head | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
over to the BBC newsroom. Ben Brown is in the BBC | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Newsroom with a summary The parents of the terminally-ill | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
baby, Charlie Gard, have until midday to agree | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
with Great Ormond Street Hospital They've accepted that Charlie | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
will spend his last days in a hospice rather than at home, | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
but Chris Gard and Connie Yates are asking to spend more time | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
with their son before life support A 16-year-old girl found dead | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
on a railway is thought Taiyah Pebbles was discovered | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
at Herne Bay station in Kent British Transport Police said | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
serious injuries believed to be A post mortem will | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
take place on Friday. Wild fires are continuing to burn | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
in parts of southern France. Thousands of people have been forced | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
to leave their homes and campsites around | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
the town of Bormes-Les-Mimosas. Many are spending a second night | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
on beaches, or in sports halls At least 6,000 firefighters and | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
troops are now battling the flames. For a third night, the skies glowed | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
red in southern France as fierce wildfires continued to burn | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
out of control. Hillsides engulfed by flames | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
in Bormes-les-Mimosas, Local residents joining firefighters | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
to battle the blaze that has forced the evacuation | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
of over 10,000 people. Having watched the flames inch | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
closer and closer on Wednesday, thousands of tourists took | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
the chance to flee. Many had spent the last two nights | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
in the public shelters TRANSLATION: We evacuate | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
because of the fire is coming We left with our clothes | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
and a little food. Residents who fled the flames | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
have now begun to return to assess the damage | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
to their homes and properties. TRANSLATION: All of a sudden | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
we were in front of a wall of flame, We took some belongings, | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
we took the two dogs and we left. TRANSLATION: I climbed high | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
on the crest and I saw a picture of desolation, | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
because all the camping was surrounded with flames | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
and we couldn't do anything. Meeting some of the crews | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
and volunteers on the frontline, the French Prime Minister, | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Edouard Philippe, said there would be an enquiry | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
into the fire's cause, which some have blamed | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
on an arsonists. The powerful and destructive | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
combination of heat and wind set to fuel these fires and test these | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
firefighters once again. The Chief Constable | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
of Police Scotland, Phil Gormley, has confirmed he's being | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
investigated over allegations Details of the complaint | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
against Phil Gormley haven't been made public - | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
but the BBC understands they relate to his conduct | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
towards a more junior officer. Donald Trump's new communications | :09:12. | :09:41. | |
director said that the UK and US can almost certainly agree trade deal. | :09:42. | :09:55. | |
There is a group of rich guys and we will break away from the other | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
countries. We are going to disrupt and hack the system. What does that | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
mean? That he will meet us halfway. Hears about reciprocity, about fair | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
and equal trade. The notion you should | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Writing in the British Medical Journal, it's argued that taking | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
antibiotics for longer than necessary, can raise | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
However, England's Chief Medical Officer says people shouldn't | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
change their behaviour because of one study. | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
growing resistance to antibiotics is an increasing problem around the | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
world. They become less effective because we take so many of them. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
That means deadly infections spread more easily. Now some researchers | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
say it is time to end the blanket prescription that every course | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
should be completed. Writing in the British medical journal, a group of | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
experts claim there is no evidence that stopping some antibiotic | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
treatment early increases the risk of infection. They accept more | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
research is needed but suggest new advice, like stop taking them when | :11:19. | :11:19. | |
you feel better, could help. # Antiobiotics are | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
wonderful pills... There is already an NHS campaign | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
to cut the use of antibiotics. The Chief Medical Officer says | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
the evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
- you should stick to prescriptions, and always follow | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
the doctor's advice. The Prime Minister has said | :11:34. | :11:47. | |
the Conservatives have "come a long way" on the issue of gay rights, | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
but that there's still more to do Theresa May was marking the 50th | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
anniversary today of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
in England and Wales. It decriminalised homosexual | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
acts in private between The Duke of Cambridge | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
will begin his last shift as an air ambulance pilot today - | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
before taking up his For the past two years he's been | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
working for the Writing in the Eastern Daily Press | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
this morning he says he's It is a job which has clearly meant | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
a great deal to him, to work as a member | :12:23. | :12:34. | |
of the emergency services. Valued for what he does | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
rather than who he is, flying an air ambulance, | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
and helping to save lives. It was more than two years ago that | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
William first reported for duty He had finished as an RAF | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
search-and-rescue pilot, but chose to retrain and qualify | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
for this new role. On his first morning, he explained | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
how much it mattered to him. I'm just fantastically excited to be | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
here today, the first day. It has been many exams | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
and training to get here, and I'm hugely excited to be joining | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
a very professional bunch of guys and girls, doing such a unique, | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
complex job with the air ambulance. In the months since, | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
William has piloted the air He has seen tragedy and extremes | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
of emotion in close quarters. Writing in the Eastern Daily Press | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
this morning, he says he is hugely grateful for having | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
had the experience. He says it has instilled in him | :13:19. | :13:38. | |
a profound respect for the men After tonight's shift, | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
William will embark on the role which has been his destiny, | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
as a full-time, working member of the British royal family, | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
taking on more responsibilities in support of his grandmother, | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
but with what are clearly deeply embedded memories of his time | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
as pilot William Wales of the That's a summary of the latest BBC | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
News - more at 9.30. Thank you, Ben. Let's get all of the | :13:55. | :14:10. | |
sport from Olly Foster. We have to talk about Adam Peaty and his | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
incredible achievements in the pool. That is one superlative. They are | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
really running out of things to say about Adam Peaty. He is 22. He has | :14:21. | :14:30. | |
now retained his world titles. He broke his world record twice in the | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
heats and the semifinals. Look at that winning margin. By over half a | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
second he won and that is the biggest winning margin in the 50 | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
metres breaststroke. He is quite a specimen there. And one of his | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
opponents who came third, the South African Cameron Bundaberg said he | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
has reinvented the breaststroke. It is a hybrid between the butterfly | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
and the breaststroke. It is such an enormous power. He has said he may | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
have to retire and come back when Adam Peaty gets older. Here is Adam | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
Peaty. Very exhausting, especially with a double, but I am so happy | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
with my performances. I know there is more, but I don't want to spoil | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
it for next year or the year after. He has this project 57, hoping to | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
lower the 100 metres breast rope, breaking 57 seconds to the first | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
time. Just speaking after the mixed medley, they didn't get a medal, the | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
British team, but he goes in the men's medley on Sunday, every chance | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
for a medal for Peaty then. And he is only 22, let's doc about the | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
third test against South Africa, England need to turn things around. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
It will be the 100th Test match at the Oval, but they lost the second | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
test at Trent Bridge. They were absolutely thumped by South Africa. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Joe Root's captaincy started with a brilliant win at Lord's when they | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
beat South Africa, so it is a bit of crunch time, this. Whoever loses | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
won't be able to win the series. Weather could be a factor. The | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
covers are on. Michael Vaughan, former skipper, who works for the | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
BBC now, says that England just don't respect to Test cricket any | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
more, the way they approach it. It is far too gung ho. They have to | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
learn how to approach the game. Joe Root, that is Ben Stokes bowling, | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
Joe Root says that criticism has felt a little bit too personal. It | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
is very important that us as a side remained true to each other. We are | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
very honest in the dressing room, we know we weren't good enough last | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
week, but effort has never been the issue. We have got a massive desire | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
to go out this week and put a release from performance in and | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
bounce back strong. Middlesex bowler Toby Roland-Jones will make his test | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
debut for England at the Oval. We should get the toss in the next hour | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
and a half or something like that. It is the wheelchair rugby league | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
World Cup in France, but Wales are threatening to pull out of their | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
match today. They are playing Spain, fifth-place play-off, one of their | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
lawyers, Harry Jones has epilepsy, and he has had a couple of seizures | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
in matches, incredibly worrying, but it has been triggered by | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
photographers getting far too close to the action and using flash | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
photography. They have put signs up everywhere, saying that Harry | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
suffers from epilepsy, and to try to move the photographers away from the | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
court. They say if it happens again, clearly, he has had to miss a match | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
because of one of these seizures, they will go off the court. England | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
are in the final of that, playing the hosts France, or Italy, | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
tomorrow. They beat Australia 78-36 in their semifinal to reach the | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
final. England going well but some concerns over Wales, and obviously | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Harry Jones, the photographers getting a little bit too close. | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
The last 12 years 20 children have been murdered because they have had | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
contact with an abusive parent. This led to changes | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
to the current court guidelines - they were announced back in January | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
but still have not been signed Women's Aid say every day the plans | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
are delayed women and children's They have new research to show that | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
in nearly a quarter of cases where domestic violence is alleged | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
unsupervised contact between In her first TV interview as Women's | :18:35. | :18:35. | |
Aid's new Chief Executive, Katie Ghose joined me in the studio | :18:36. | :18:47. | |
earlier this morning. We also spoke to Sarah | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
Parsons from Cafcass - a group of social workers | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
who are appointed by family courts. But we began by talking | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
to Zoe Dronfield. Zoe was a victim of domestic | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
violence, and had her daughter taken While in hospital, after the attack, | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
I was actually served with papers I then had to discharge | :19:03. | :19:13. | |
myself from hospital, so I was in hospital | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
for about two weeks. And I discharged myself | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
to attend a hearing And during that process, | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
how was it for you? It was hideous, and I even say | :19:27. | :19:41. | |
now that it was worse than the attack itself. | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
To actually be physically attacked, almost killed, and then be thrown | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
into a system that does not believe you or somehow you're held | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
responsible for the violence that It doesn't bear | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
thinking about, really. And your daughter was taken away | :19:53. | :20:13. | |
from you, initially? Her father got custody, | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
interim custody. We were both litigants in person, | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
so the judge did not take too kindly to that, | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
to be honest. Talk to us about the process, | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
because we're going to speak here to Sarah and Katie | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
about the process of court. What was that like for you, | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
the actual custody case itself, the hearing, the effect it | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
had on you? OK, well, I suppose, | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
the first hearing, I arrived So we came face-to-face | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
in the waiting room. And he was saying all sorts | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
of things, so that was And the fact that I'd just left | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
hospital was getting over a serious a sort, | :20:57. | :21:10. | |
so I was having to deal Then the court itself | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
was really clinical, there was zero emotion, | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
no understanding of the traumatic experience that you're | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
going through really. Because it's life-changing, | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
decisions are going to be made in that courtroom that | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
are going to affect the rest of your life and the rest | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
of your children's lives. So, of course, it's the biggest | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
thing ever, to be dealing with. And you are kind of ushered | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
through and I wanted to express myself more but you are literally | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
given a limited amount of time to get your point across, | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
and as litigants in person, the judge didn't particularly | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
want to hear us talk I think what was taken | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
was the statement that was presented to the judge, which was full | :21:53. | :22:03. | |
of what I would say is perjury, which isn't dealt | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
with in a family court. And that information wasn't even | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
checked to see if it was correct. I believe they just took that | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
statement as a statement Zoe stay with us, because I want | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
to bring in Sarah and Katie. Katie, first of all, can you explain | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
what litigants in person are? That's when you are having | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
to make your own case and you have not got a lawyer of that | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
with you to do that advocacy, which you can imagine how extra | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
traumatic that could be in the circumstances | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
that Zoe has described. And we hear Zoe's story and we can | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
tell just by hearing that story how traumatic it is even now, | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Zoe, for you to talk about that. We can see that from the way | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
that you are sitting, Are these similar experiences | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
that you were hearing? Sadly, we have heard | :22:49. | :22:58. | |
from women in situations such as the one Zoe has described, | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
and others as well, where they have suffered | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
domestic abuse and violence, and then have to relive that trauma | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
going through the courts. And sadly we also know that some | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
perpetrators of violence will actively use the family courts | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
to continue a campaign of coercive There are lots of issues | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
here and we just need to be mindful and listen and learn | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
from the experiences We are very pleased that there | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
is refreshed guidance for judges, We want the government to get | :23:20. | :23:29. | |
on and act on that and sign it off. And that's going to make some | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
improvements to the family courts, so that they can really make sure | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
that women and their experiences Sarah, go through what those changes | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
will be once they are brought in? The new guidance will make sure, | :23:41. | :23:54. | |
for instance, that women who have suffered domestic abuse are not | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
cross examined by their perpetrator. People will find that | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
amazing watching this, It doesn't happen in | :24:02. | :24:02. | |
the criminal cases, does it? And the organisation that I am from, | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Cafcass, who look after the best interests of children in these | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
proceedings, have been contributing to the updated guidance | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
and are in favour of those changes. Zoe, do you feel, as we heard there | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
from Katie, that there are times when your partner was able | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
to manipulate the system I mean, it was manipulation right | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
from the very beginning. He used the assault | :24:27. | :24:38. | |
as an opportunity to then ask He then submitted all sorts | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
of lies into the court. Honestly, it's like going | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
into another dimension, that's Why has there been a delay, Katie, | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
in these suggestions being implemented, these | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
recommendations I don't know why the delay has been, | :24:59. | :24:59. | |
but we're really pleased Not least because it makes it | :25:00. | :25:20. | |
crystal clear to judges and everyone in the courts, | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
that it is the child's safety And actually, it's that which trumps | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
the interests or the wishes So the guidance is good, | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
it's going to make difference, and now we just want the government | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
to get on and sign and seal it and have it in practice | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
because women and children are in the family courts every | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
single day right now and it is really important that this | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
is done quickly. I'm aware that it's really, | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
very critical to make sure the accuracy of the new guidance | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
is looked at in detail. I'm aware that there | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
was no deliberate delay, it's not about back sliding, | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
it's commitment across government to ensure that the legislation, | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
the guidance, all of the structures, support, the victims of domestic | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
abuse and most importantly, as Katie says, ensures that | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
children are safe. So it's important to get | :26:09. | :26:10. | |
it absolutely right. And I know that has been looked | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
at in detail as we speak. Currently, do you think parents' | :26:13. | :26:25. | |
right to contact is being put The law states that there should be | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
continuity of parental involvement, so Cafcass always look at the impact | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
for each individual child, and tries to took to the children, | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
and both sides of the family, Because many children do | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
benefit from ongoing And that's really important to look | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
at from an individual However, where the risks are too | :26:43. | :26:55. | |
high, we should be very clear about that as well, | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
and that is the case. There are obviously situations | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
like Zoe's, which are very distressing and we need to listen | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
to and learn from and make improvements, the system | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
is not 100% perfect. But certainly in my experience, | :27:12. | :27:12. | |
we have made great strides. Every case that comes to the family | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
courts is risk assessed. but we need to make sure that, | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
with the improvement in the new practice direction, | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
that there is greater consistency and every child's circumstances | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
like Zoe's don't happen again. One of the worries that we have got, | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
and this came out of the research that Women's Aid has published | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
with Cafcass, is that nearly a quarter of the contact cases | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
where there were allegations of domestic abuse, unsupervised | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
contact with the parent was ordered That means that the court may not | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
have had the chance to get to grips with the full picture, | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
and I think that is something that has come out very | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
powerfully from Zoe's story. So that is one of the | :27:55. | :27:56. | |
concerns we have got. And we will be really | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
looking to have a situation where women, and all of us, | :28:00. | :28:01. | |
and survivors, can have the confidence that whatever | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
family courts they go to, the cild safety is going to be | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
properly and fully assessed. And that full picture | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
will always be considered. Yeah, for me, there's | :28:13. | :28:14. | |
no recourse for women I went through and afterwards tried | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
to get into traditional review, because I just felt like I wasn't | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
being dealt with fairly. Who are you complaining | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
to if things don't go right? Ultimately, you did get custody | :28:29. | :28:37. | |
of your daughter, didn't you? I truly believe that it's | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
because I have the means to do so. When we initially went to court, | :28:43. | :28:55. | |
we were litigants in person, and so the judge seemed quite | :28:56. | :29:04. | |
annoyed with that. Once we had a legal team in there, | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
then it strengthened my case. But actually, my case | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
was strong anyway. So it shouldn't be down | :29:14. | :29:14. | |
to money or financials. And was it a struggle | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
to get that money? Yeah, it is, I had a good solicitor | :29:20. | :29:21. | |
who took on my case and I'm pleased to say that he really supported me, | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
because he could see how The government sent us | :29:28. | :29:30. | |
the following from the Ministry of Justice, "The welfare of children | :29:31. | :29:40. | |
is the utmost priority Ministers are working closely | :29:41. | :29:42. | |
with the senior judiciary to carefully consider revisions | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
to this important guidance, and we expect to introduce | :29:47. | :29:48. | |
these changes shortly". Still to come: Thousands of people | :29:49. | :29:59. | |

France has appealed for help fighting fires that have spread | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
along parts of the country's south coast, forcing around 10,000 people | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
One of the worst hit areas is around Saint Tropez, | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
Thousands of firefighters and troops have been trying | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
to stop the fire's spread, but a combination of dry vegetation | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
and strong winds has made the fires particularly challenging to contain. | :34:11. | :34:13. | |
Our correspondent Hugh Schofield is in Bormes-les-Mimosas. | :34:14. | :34:23. | |
Yes, we are in the brush, as you can see, in the hillside above the town | :34:24. | :34:32. | |
of Bormes-Les-Mimosas. The situation, we are told, is | :34:33. | :34:35. | |
stabilised. Not under control, they are very keen to say that, but | :34:36. | :34:41. | |
stabilised. The fire passed yesterday. As you walk up the | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
hillside you can see the remains of the stumps and the buck and | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
vegetation and the earth which has turned black. Apparently, that is | :34:50. | :34:53. | |
the effect of the water. When they spray it with water it goes from | :34:54. | :35:01. | |
grade to black. But as we come up the hill, it is very interesting. | :35:02. | :35:06. | |
There are still members burning. All over the place, you see these little | :35:07. | :35:11. | |
chimneys of smoke going up. This is the root of a tree which is still | :35:12. | :35:16. | |
smouldering. And this, we are told, is the real danger spot. This | :35:17. | :35:23. | |
remains hot. As the day progresses and the heat returns to the | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
environment, and if the wind starts fanning it, this is where we could | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
easily see new outbreaks, places like this, fire. That is why Fire | :35:34. | :35:40. | |
Service, who are standing down now, they have put a small blaze out upon | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
the hill, they remain on very high alert throughout the day. They | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
predict there will be new outbreaks this afternoon. Last point on a more | :35:50. | :35:56. | |
positive note, if you look upon the hillside, you will see that it is | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
green. There was a fire here 27 years ago. That was black like this | :36:01. | :36:06. | |
is here now, but it regenerates. The lesson is, fires occur and they are | :36:07. | :36:13. | |
terrible, but the will cope. That is Hugh Schofield giving us a | :36:14. | :36:17. | |
sense of what it is like on the ground. | :36:18. | :36:19. | |
Let's talk to Ollie Marriage who is on holiday in Gigaro | :36:20. | :36:21. | |
Lisa Minot was camping near Bormes-les-Mimosas | :36:22. | :36:29. | |
And Dr Beth Cole from the University of Leicester has been researching | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
the areas most at risk from these kinds of fires. | :36:34. | :36:41. | |
Lisa, first of all, you were evacuated from your campsite to the | :36:42. | :36:48. | |
beach. Did you have to sleep on the beach? That is right, we did. We had | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
two nights now. The alert came the night before last. The entire | :36:55. | :36:59. | |
campsite was evacuated, that is over 4000 people. We are back on the | :37:00. | :37:03. | |
campsite now because this morning they left off back for the first | :37:04. | :37:09. | |
time. INAUDIBLE | :37:10. | :37:16. | |
It is still a state of flux. We do not know what will happen. As your | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
correspondent said, we watched yesterday as the fires were put out | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
and then reignited. We spent the night on the beach. We did not sleep | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
on the campsite. We decided to move some tents onto the beach and sleep | :37:31. | :37:36. | |
there. Lisa, you have a slightly scratchy Skype line but we will | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
stick with it because I'm sure people will be wondering how you | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
slept on the beach. Did you have lounges, covers and water? We had | :37:45. | :37:50. | |
food and water. This is a serious environment. There are people | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
helping out. There is water and food you can collect. And then we had | :37:55. | :38:00. | |
tents from our own campsite. We moved them onto the beach, so that | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
they were out of danger, out of the campsite environment, because the | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
beach is one of the safest places to be if there is a fire. I want to | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
bring in Ollie who is near central pay. Where are you and how have you | :38:18. | :38:25. | |
been affected? -- saved to pay. The fires started 100 metres from here | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
and they swept up the hillside to my right ear. The firefighters did an | :38:32. | :38:36. | |
amazing job putting them out initially but we were evacuated | :38:37. | :38:40. | |
again yesterday because the wind had changed direction and it was blowing | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
the flames back this way. You say they were 100 metres away in a calm | :38:46. | :38:51. | |
manner, presumably you are not calm when you saw it? The first we were | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
aware of it was when the planes were flying over. Initially, the flames | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
were not too big and they tried to put them out quickly, and then they | :39:01. | :39:04. | |
built very quickly, driven by the really strong winds. They raced up | :39:05. | :39:10. | |
the hillsides and the sheets of flame were enormous. I want to bring | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
in Rob Huckle who has also connected with us on Skype. He is also on | :39:17. | :39:28. | |
holiday with his family less than a mile away from the fires. Tell us | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
your experiences and what you have seen? I was woken up by my sister at | :39:32. | :39:34. | |
one o'clock in the morning, about two hours after the fire started. I | :39:35. | :39:36. | |
looked out of our apartment windows and the hills were lit up with | :39:37. | :39:44. | |
orange flames, resonating off the smoke which was flying up into the | :39:45. | :39:50. | |
sky. We watched it flow across the hills at an alarming speed carried | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
by the wind, and it just came closer and closer, to where we were. We | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
thought it was dying down in the morning and as someone said, it | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
picked back-up during the day. I saw it come within metres of some houses | :40:06. | :40:13. | |
on the hills, but luckily, the fires, firefighters and planes did | :40:14. | :40:20. | |
an excellent job to hold back. Where you evacuated from your apartment or | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
could you stay? We could stay. I am on the port so I am on water. The | :40:27. | :40:35. | |
best place to be! Yes, I was very lucky. I saw streams of cars | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
overnight. There have been families still sitting out on the corner of | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
the street with whatever they could grab from their homes. We have the | :40:44. | :40:51. | |
sailing club here set up as a refugee centre and it is giving out | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
free water and food to those who need it. I wonder if each of you, | :40:58. | :41:05. | |
Lisa, have you had much information from the authorities? As they're | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
been good communication? I would not say that has been good acting in a. | :41:10. | :41:15. | |
It has become a case of looking on Facebook and Twitter and talking to | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
people. Communication has not been great. In the case of the campsite, | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
deciding on whether we were staying or going was decided by the campsite | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
but also the mayor of the town and the firefighters, and those three | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
people have to have a discussion. Things change, we would told one | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
thing and then another. Yesterday morning, we were told having spent | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
the night on the beach that we could come back to the campsite. We had | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
been on the campsite for barely an hour when the alarm went again and | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
we were forced to leave. At that point it was, get off the campsite | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
now, immediately, get to the beach. At that point it was chaos. There | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
was no control as such, but look at what they are fighting, look at what | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
they have to do. You can see these fires reigniting and reigniting. It | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
is no surprise that there is no control to it. I was reading there | :42:10. | :42:16. | |
were 4500 people on your campsite so moving people around cannot be easy. | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
Ollie, have you found good communication from the authorities? | :42:23. | :42:30. | |
The fires are unpredictable. We know there is... That has not been a | :42:31. | :42:33. | |
great deal of communication, but when you talk to the individual | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
firemen and police, they can tell you roughly what is going on. They | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
do not know what the fire is going to do, so that makes it difficult | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
for them. There is no secular centre or information source that you can | :42:47. | :42:51. | |
go to. For holiday-makers, at least. Maybe if you are local down here you | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
know which radio station to listen to and which websites to check, but | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
for us, not so much. I want to bring in Doctor Beth Cole from the | :43:02. | :43:04. | |
University of Leicester. I know you were one of the academics who | :43:05. | :43:10. | |
produced a risk map of wildfires in southern Europe. Can you explain to | :43:11. | :43:14. | |
people watching what you collated and what you found? Yes, sure. We | :43:15. | :43:19. | |
are doing a project across the whole of Europe, mapping the areas which | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
are defined as the wild urban interface which is an area which is | :43:24. | :43:32. | |
known to be at high risk of fire. These are areas where the urban | :43:33. | :43:35. | |
development and human buildings interact or boundary up to areas | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
where there is forest fuel, fuel for the fire, woody vegetation. By | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
mapping that across Europe, we found we could relate this to satellite | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
images of previously burned areas. We related the probability of how | :43:53. | :43:58. | |
likely the fires were closest to these areas. The closer you get to | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
the wild urban interfaces, the more likely you are to have a fire risk. | :44:03. | :44:07. | |
Applying this across we found regions which were at higher risk to | :44:08. | :44:14. | |
fire. One of those was the Provence Cote d'Azur area of France which | :44:15. | :44:19. | |
came up as one of the highest risk areas of France. If you identified | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
that is a risk, did the authorities take that on board and try and | :44:24. | :44:28. | |
mitigate the circumstances or was that not possible? I am not sure how | :44:29. | :44:33. | |
the information was fed forward, but the idea of identifying the risk | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
areas was so that in the future people could put into place land | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
management or fire risk plans, that would be preventative. Things like | :44:44. | :44:50. | |
land use management to prevent the wild urban interface is being built | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
up so much as they have been recently. Thank you all for speaking | :44:55. | :45:02. | |
to us. I hope your holidays into. -- improve. | :45:03. | :45:09. | |
A survey has found 48% of people do not think primary school children | :45:10. | :45:23. | |
should learn about same-sex relationships. We will discuss that | :45:24. | :45:25. | |
later. The police watchdog says | :45:26. | :45:27. | |
there are major inconsistencies in the way drug driving laws | :45:28. | :45:29. | |
are enforced by different police The police watchdog says there are | :45:30. | :45:53. | |
big differences. How have the laws on drug driving | :45:54. | :46:02. | |
changed? Police officers had to prove motorists' driving ability was | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
impaired. They used to do a test, walk in a straight line, stand on | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
one leg, that kind of thing. Since the change to years ago, it is much | :46:12. | :46:16. | |
more scientific. If you have more than a certain type of 17 different | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
drugs in your system, when you get behind the wheel, you are breaking | :46:21. | :46:28. | |
the law. Eight of those are illegal. Ones like cocaine, cannabis and | :46:29. | :46:30. | |
ecstasy. Nine of them are prescription drugs like codeine, | :46:31. | :46:31. | |
morphine and methadone. What did you find out? We asked all | :46:32. | :46:46. | |
43 police forces a very simple question, how many arrests have you | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
made under the new drug driving laws in the two year since the change. 39 | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
of them came back to us, and essentially some forces had arrested | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
thousands, others had made hundreds of arrests, a handful of forces had | :46:59. | :47:04. | |
made fewer than 100 arrests. To try to get some sense of comparison, we | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
divided the number of arrests by the number of officers each force has, | :47:09. | :47:13. | |
just to get some kind of comparison. Some forces for example like North | :47:14. | :47:16. | |
Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Cheshire, they made one drug driving | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
arrest for everyone, two or three officers on the force. Other forces | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
like Greater Manchester Police, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, they | :47:26. | :47:30. | |
made one drug driving arrest for every 18, 19, 20, sometimes 28 | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
officers. We have to take these figures with caution because they | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
are not an accurate, scientific, like-for-like comparison, but the | :47:39. | :47:45. | |
complete Her Majesty 's -- to quit Her Majesty's Inspectorate of | :47:46. | :47:47. | |
Constabulary, they give us a snapshot into the wider issue of | :47:48. | :47:50. | |
policing drug driving. We spoke to a lady called Zoe Bird peeling from | :47:51. | :47:56. | |
there about the possible consequences these infants -- Zoe | :47:57. | :48:03. | |
Billingham. There are clearly forces being extremely proactive in this | :48:04. | :48:06. | |
area, a deliberate decision on their part, and we as an inspectorate | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
would ask other police Chief const is to check whether or not they are | :48:11. | :48:14. | |
being as proactive as they should be, but also taking enforcement | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
action in the way they ought to be, and educating young people about the | :48:20. | :48:22. | |
harm, the terrible harm caused by these activities. So what are the | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
police saying about this, why is there this huge discrepancy? We got | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
in touch with the national police Chief 's counsel, and they say all | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
forces take it very seriously, some individual forces made local | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
decisions based at a local level based on their priorities, and | :48:42. | :48:44. | |
sometimes crucially different forces share resources to meet the high | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
demands on police. Thank you for talking to us. With us now is | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
Kalann, whose brother Aiden was killed two years ago by a driver who | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
was on drugs. Thank you so much for coming in -- with us now is Callum. | :48:59. | :49:08. | |
Tell us a bit about your brother. Aiden, my brother, it was 20 at the | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
time, he cared about everybody, you would not hurt a fly. He was living | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
at home still, getting by, just doing what he enjoyed doing. And | :49:20. | :49:25. | |
what happened on that day? Aiden was in the three lane traffic, going | :49:26. | :49:29. | |
through traffic on the left-hand lane, and the car at the last minute | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
decided to pull out. And did you know at the time that the driver was | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
on drugs? Not instantly, we were told a few days after. Do you know | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
what drugs the woman had in her system? The main one was | :49:45. | :49:49. | |
amphetamine, originally a prescription drug but the woman | :49:50. | :49:52. | |
became addicted to it. Clearly you are devastated at the loss of your | :49:53. | :49:55. | |
brother. Was that made harder by the knowledge that this woman had been | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
driving whilst having drugs in her system? It made it worse, he did | :50:01. | :50:03. | |
nothing wrong. Something about that always just hurt, because he was | :50:04. | :50:09. | |
doing everything in the right, he was just going on the road as you | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
would do. It could happen to any of us, couldn't it? What sentence to | :50:14. | :50:20. | |
the driver get? Suspended sentence, so she didn't go to a prison at all. | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
Why did she get that? We don't quite understand, to be honest. That is | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
something that got to all of us, I took if you days off work to get our | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
heads around what had happened. We were all expecting a lenient | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
sentence, no sentence is enough to punish what it caused us, but you | :50:43. | :50:47. | |
expected at least some time in prison, and it didn't happen. And no | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
one explain to you why that was? I don't really feel like I know why. | :50:53. | :50:58. | |
If you kill someone whilst under the influence of drugs behind the wheel, | :50:59. | :51:01. | |
then you should be going to jail, there should be no question about | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
it. You said you expected a lenient sentence, why? You just hear other | :51:07. | :51:13. | |
lot of cases like it. I had never heard of a drug driving case in the | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
news before, so they prepared us for it because of the way sentences go. | :51:20. | :51:26. | |
I know that the woman was given a suspended sentence, and in the | :51:27. | :51:30. | |
intervening period, quite a long period, she had a baby, was that one | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
of the reasons they gave? Yes, they said it would be unfair on the baby | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
to do that. Details like that don't really bother me, if that was the | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
case, I think that is disgusting that it shouldn't be thought of, but | :51:44. | :51:46. | |
for all we know, it could have been that she happened to have a baby at | :51:47. | :51:57. | |
that time as well. For me, it is not the sentencing I want to get | :51:58. | :51:59. | |
changed, people's mindset about it changed, I want people to think | :52:00. | :52:01. | |
before they get behind the wheel, there are harsher laws with the | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
sentences, and people still go and commit the crime. Putting a harsher | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
sentence on might stop people doing it but for me it is more important | :52:08. | :52:10. | |
to have people think about it, if you see a friend or anyone under the | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
influence, stop them and have the confidence to say something because | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
it literally can save lives. You are a young person yourself, clearly, | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
are you aware of friends, people you know, who do take drugs and drive? I | :52:25. | :52:29. | |
am not aware of anyone I know who does do it, if I did, I would say | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
something. I guess it is that hard moment, when I was growing up many | :52:35. | :52:37. | |
moons ago, there were people I knew that were taking drugs and would | :52:38. | :52:43. | |
drive, and I never got in a car. But then it never even occurred to me to | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
pick up the phone to call the police to alert in case something might | :52:48. | :52:50. | |
happen. I guess it is about getting that message across to people that | :52:51. | :52:57. | |
we have a responsibility. If you know someone does, then if it had | :52:58. | :53:00. | |
been done on that day to the woman who killed my brother, then he still | :53:01. | :53:13. | |
might be here. Do you think enough is being done to create that stigma | :53:14. | :53:22. | |
around drug driving? To me, because it is not as widely done, | :53:23. | :53:27. | |
drink-driving, a lot of people when you get to that age, but not as many | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
people take drugs, so it is hidden behind it, not as common. Needs to | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
be just as common, the awareness of it needs to be put out there. Some | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
people watching this might be surprised, when we were talking to | :53:43. | :53:45. | |
Dan before, he said you would expect the illegal drugs to be there, but | :53:46. | :53:48. | |
there were nine prescription drugs as well, things like codeine. Some | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
people may be unaware that can affect them driving. Yes, any drugs | :53:54. | :53:59. | |
you can pick up, it should be made clear when you pick up a | :54:00. | :54:02. | |
prescription or you are given drugs, the effects of what you can and | :54:03. | :54:04. | |
can't do. When I have been on different medication, you end up | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
asking if you can or not, everything should be given out, either a yes or | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
no. The doctor should always say yes, you can still drive on it, just | :54:15. | :54:21. | |
to clear up and reduce the risk. Tell us about how Aidan's loss has | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
affected you as a brother but also your family. It was just | :54:27. | :54:32. | |
devastating. You could see it in everyone. I was just going into my | :54:33. | :54:38. | |
second year of A-levels at the time. Ended up not doing as I wanted to | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
do. I just couldn't concentrate on the college. I would go in but I | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
just could not keep focused on what I wanted to do. For the family, you | :54:47. | :54:58. | |
can see it even now, my mum, the most amazing woman is, every day I | :54:59. | :55:02. | |
will speak to her and you can see it still hurts her she still struggles | :55:03. | :55:09. | |
with the fact he is not there, not up in his room on his computer, | :55:10. | :55:14. | |
which is what he normally did. I remember for months and months, I | :55:15. | :55:19. | |
would shout up to him that dinner was ready, because he would never | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
hear, you would have to yell at the top of your voice. Every time when | :55:25. | :55:27. | |
it comes to that time, I think I need to, and it is that moment, you | :55:28. | :55:31. | |
just relive the moment over and over again. Thank you for talking us, I | :55:32. | :55:34. | |
can imagine it has been ready difficult, and lovely to hear about | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
your brother anyway. I appreciated. Thank you. The National police | :55:40. | :55:44. | |
chief's council has responded to the story. They say drug driving is no | :55:45. | :55:52. | |
one size fits all approach. Individual forces make decisions | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
about local priorities and how best to balance their demand and resource | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
in order to keep the public safe as that may bring you this, reaching us | :56:02. | :56:06. | |
from Danny Shaw, our home affairs correspondent. The number of | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
assaults in prisons in England and Wales has risen to a record high. | :56:11. | :56:17. | |
There were 26,643 assaults in the 12 months to March 20 17. There were | :56:18. | :56:25. | |
also a record number of self harm incidents, 40,000 414. There were 97 | :56:26. | :56:31. | |
self-inflicted deaths in the year to June, down by ten on the before. | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
Also, some of your comments have been coming in, we are going to be | :56:37. | :56:40. | |
talking a little while about whether primary school children should be | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
taught about same-sex relationships. Tim on Twitter says primary school | :56:46. | :56:52. | |
kids should be educated about same-sex religion ships and the | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
dangers of inequality start early. They should let kids be kids, says | :56:57. | :57:00. | |
this one, why do they have to be taught about everything from such an | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
early age? Get in touch. Now the latest weather with Carol. | :57:05. | :57:08. | |
A real mixture of weather over the next few days, bright spells, | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
sunshine and showers and has a mother 's reign, but in the sunshine | :57:14. | :57:16. | |
it will feel pleasant. If you are in the rain it will feel cool. Weather | :57:17. | :57:20. | |
Watchers pictures are rather nice, you can see some rain. Some showers | :57:21. | :57:28. | |
around as well in the West. We did have some blue skies. A fair bit | :57:29. | :57:37. | |
cloud around. Coming from the West, it will be travelling steadily | :57:38. | :57:40. | |
eastwards. Some have been heavy and thundery. And there are more to | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
come. Low pressure driving our weather currently. It is going to be | :57:46. | :57:55. | |
a windy day, especially later across north-west Scotland, but breezy | :57:56. | :57:59. | |
across the west of the week UK, especially in the showers, and when | :58:00. | :58:02. | |
you have that, nation you will find the temperature will come down. | :58:03. | :58:07. | |
After a fairly cloudy start the cloud breaks, and then a plethora of | :58:08. | :58:10. | |
showers coming in from the West, drifting east, some of them heavy, | :58:11. | :58:13. | |
if you of them will be thundery as well. Even into the afternoon, we | :58:14. | :58:18. | |
are looking at that, nation of bright spells, sunshine and showers. | :58:19. | :58:22. | |
We weren't all catch one, it is not like a band of rain coming your way, | :58:23. | :58:26. | |
however there will be sunny spells between and the showers will be | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
knocking around. In Wales, as well. Temperatures in Aberystwyth getting | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
up to 16 or 17 Celsius. For Northern Ireland, sunshine and showers, | :58:37. | :58:40. | |
breeze picking up late in the day across the north-west, and for | :58:41. | :58:44. | |
Scotland, that combination of bright spells, sunshine and showers. | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
Temperatures in Inverness getting up to the mid to high teens. The | :58:49. | :58:52. | |
northern England, again, we have got that same, nation of bright spells, | :58:53. | :58:56. | |
at times there will be a bit more cloud around, sunny skies but also | :58:57. | :59:01. | |
those showers and breezy. Through the evening, the rain picks up, some | :59:02. | :59:04. | |
of the showers will merge and give along the spells of rain anyway and | :59:05. | :59:09. | |
then we could have some gales off the west of Scotland. The band of | :59:10. | :59:12. | |
rain starts to move eastwards and through the rest of the night and | :59:13. | :59:15. | |
into tomorrow it will start to ferment. There will stop with some | :59:16. | :59:18. | |
showers in the West but the many parts of England and Wales, it will | :59:19. | :59:22. | |
remain dry with overnight lows between 12 and about 15. We start on | :59:23. | :59:25. | |
that note tomorrow. Meanwhile, another band of rain | :59:26. | :59:35. | |
swings in from the south-west, also pushing north-eastwards. Some of | :59:36. | :59:39. | |
that will be heavy, particularly so on the hills in Wales. In the | :59:40. | :59:45. | |
central slot, you're likely to have a drier day with some sunshine. | :59:46. | :59:50. | |
Still an element of as to how far north rain will travel but we think | :59:51. | :59:56. | |
by evening it could be in a line roughly pressed in to Hull. You | :59:57. | :59:59. | |
might want to get your tent set up quite early in the day. On Saturday, | :00:00. | :00:05. | |
cloudy and damp in the south-east, then another band of rain swings up | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
across the Channel Islands, Southern counties, in the central and | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
southern England. We will still have those showers across Scotland and | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Northern Ireland, at times some of them urging to give some longer | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
spells of rain. Still a breezy day but not as breezy as it will be | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
tomorrow, and again in between there will be some sunshine and just a few | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
showers. Either time we get to Sunday, low pressure still driving | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
our weather, there is the centre of it, still a lot showers close to it | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but for England and Wales it will be | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
more showers than on Saturday, some will be heavy and thundery, in | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
between bright sunny skies, with highs up to 22 Celsius. | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
Hello, it's ten o'clock. I'm Chloe Tilley, welcome to the programme. | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
The Government is commissioning a "detailed assessment" of the costs | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
and benefits of EU migrants, as it decides how to manage | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
The Immigration Minister, Brandon Lewis, said the report | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
would help the Government protect the economy. | :01:12. | :01:12. | |
The commission's work will help inform what industry and sectors | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
need within the new structure of immigration as we go forward. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
50 years ago today, homosexuality was partially decriminalised | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
A recent survey shows 48% of us believe same-sex relationships | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
should not be taught in primary schools. We will discuss the issue. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
And veganism is one of the fastest growing food | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
We'll be hearing from a professional free-runner. | :01:37. | :01:51. | |
Here's Ben Brown in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
The Government has taken what is being described | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
as a "major step" in developing a new immigration policy. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Home Secretary Amber Rudd is asking independent migration experts | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
to analyse the role of EU nationals living and working in the UK. | :02:01. | :02:16. | |
They will report back next September, six months before | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
the UK's deadline to leave the European Union. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
The parents of the terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
have until midday to agree with Great Ormond Street Hospital | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
They've accepted that Charlie will spend his last days | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
in a hospice rather than at home, but Chris Gard and Connie Yates | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
are asking to spend more time with their son before life support | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
The number of assaults in prisons in England and Wales has risen | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
There were 26,643 assaults in the 12 months to March 2017. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
There were also a record number of self-harm incidents - | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
There were 97 self-inflicted deaths in the year to June - | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
A 16-year-old girl found dead on a railway is thought | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
Taiyah Pebbles was discovered at Herne Bay station in Kent | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
British Transport Police said the teenager was pronounced dead | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
at the scene after sustaining serious injuries believed to be | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
Wild fires are continuing to burn in parts of southern France. | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
and campsites around the town of Bormes-Les-Mimosas. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Many are spending a second night on beaches, or in sports halls | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
At least 6,000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames. | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
For a third night, the skies glowed red in southern France as fierce | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
wildfires continued to burn out of control. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Hillsides engulfed by flames in Bormes-les-Mimosas, | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Local residents joining firefighters to battle the blaze that has | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
forced the evacuation of over 10,000 people. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Having watched the flames inch closer and closer on Wednesday, | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
thousands of tourists took the chance to flee. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Many had spent the last two nights in the public shelters | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
TRANSLATION: We evacuate because of the fire is coming | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
We left with our clothes and a little food. | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
Residents who fled the flames have now begun to return | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
to assess the damage to their homes and properties. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
TRANSLATION: All of a sudden we were in front of a wall of flame, | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
We took some belongings, we took the two dogs and we left. | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
TRANSLATION: I climbed high on the crest and I saw | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
a picture of desolation, because all the camping | :04:57. | :04:57. | |
was surrounded with flames and we couldn't do anything. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Meeting some of the crews and volunteers on the frontline, | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
the French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, said | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
there would be an enquiry into the fire's cause, | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
which some have blamed on an arsonists. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
The powerful and destructive combination of heat and wind set | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
to fuel these fires and test these firefighters once again. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
The Chief Constable of Police Scotland, Phil Gormley, | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
has confirmed he's being investigated over allegations | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Details of the complaint against Phil Gormley | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
haven't been made public - but the BBC understands | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
they relate to his conduct towards a more junior officer. | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
Writing in the British Medical Journal, it's argued that taking | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
antibiotics for longer than necessary, can raise | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
However, England's Chief Medical Officer says people shouldn't | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
change their behaviour because of one study. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
The Prime Minister has said the Conservatives have "come a long | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
way" on the issue of gay rights, but that there's still more to do | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Theresa May was marking the 50th anniversary today of the partial | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
It decriminalised homosexual acts in private between men | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
The Duke of Cambridge will begin his last shift | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
as an air ambulance pilot today - before taking up his | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
For the past two years he's been working for the | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning he says he's | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
That is the summary of our latest news. More from me later. | :06:42. | :06:58. | |
Thank you, let's catch up on the sports news. | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
Yes, Adam Peaty has retained his titles. He has added the 50 metre | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
breaststroke title to the 100 metres. He could not lower his own | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
record again. He did that in the heats and semifinals. But his margin | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
of victory is a record winning margin in the 50 metres | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
breaststroke. He says he has a lot more to give to the sport as well. | :07:25. | :07:50. | |
England's cricketers are the Oval. The captain Joe Root has come under | :07:51. | :08:09. | |
some criticism. Joe Root said the criticism has felt personal at | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
times. Michael Vaughan said he is standing by his criticism. That is | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Ben Stokes bowling yesterday. Toby Rowland Jones will make his debut as | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
well. The series is 1-1. It is important that as as a side remain | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
true to each other. We are very honest in the dressing room. We know | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
we did not do well enough last leg. Effort has never been an issue. We | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
have a massive desire to go out and put a really strong performance in | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
and bounce back strong. And some breaking news. The head of Spanish | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
football has resigned as vice president of both Uefa and Fifa. The | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Spaniard was detained earlier this month after allegations of | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
corruption, embezzlement and falsifying documents. He has denied | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
the allegations. He will no longer have an official role at the | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
football organisations. Two home nations could reach the | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
knockout stages of the Euro Championships. Mark Sampson's side | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
England need just a point to qualify top of group D. They will become the | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
first England side to progress with a 100% record without conceding a | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
goal. We want to improve, we want to do better. So far, we have had a | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
good performance against Scotland. In other areas better performance | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
against Spain. We need to keep the snowball rolling because we want to | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
go in the knockout stages and in didn't and that we are the team to | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
make it. And in the last couple of minutes, Chris Froome has confirmed | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
he will ride this year in the Velta Spaniard. No rider has won the Tour | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
de France and the Velta in the same year will stop it has not been done | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
since 1995. He has been a runner-up a few times in the Velta Espana. He | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
says it is brutal but he has done the Tour de France. I will be back | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
with the headlines at half-past. Thank you. | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
Just before the news we were talking about the number of assaults in | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
prisons in England and Wales. Danny Shaw is here now. Take us through | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
these. These are the latest figures from the prison service covering | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
jails in England and Wales. They cover assault figures until the end | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
of March. There is a record number of assaults in prisons in England | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
and Wales, 26,000 600. 3600 of which were serious assaults and 7000 were | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
assaults on staff. That number has gone up by a third in the last year. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Really concerning figures about violence in prisons. Some of it is | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
fuelled by former legal highs, psychoactive substances, but these | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
will strengthen demands on the government to take action to try and | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
make prisons face. We were hearing last week from the Chief Inspector | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
Peter Clark, about prisons. Record numbers of self harm incidents. The | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
number of self-inflicted deaths is still very high at 97, but down | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
slightly, down ten on the previous year. Still approaching record | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
levels. We have some other figures. A raft of statistics released today | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
by the Ministry of Justice, and this shows that conditions in prisons are | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
in decline. These are a series of rankings given by the Ministry of | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Justice every year to every single person, and what it shows is that | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
ten are -- their performance is giving serious concern. That is up | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
from six last year. Those prisons include Bedford and Birmingham, | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
where there were some serious disturbances over the past 12 | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
months. Bristol, Brixton, Hindley, Liverpool prison, Pentonville, there | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
were two escapes and an alleged murder at Pentonville, Wandsworth | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
and Wormwood Scrubs in London as well. And finally, this will concern | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
is of the public, this is about the state and people who are released in | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
error from prisons. There were 15 states in the last 12 months. That | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
is up two on the year before. The number of prisoners who are released | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
in error, this is where they are meant to be in custody, but there is | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
some administrative mistake, and they are actually let out. There | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
were 71, and that is the highest number for at least a decade. Thank | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
you for coming down and updating us. That is our home affairs | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
correspondent Danny Shaw. It's 50 years today since | :13:21. | :13:21. | |
homosexuality was partially But how much have attitudes | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
to homosexuality changed? To find out, gay online | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
news site Pink News It suggests four in ten people think | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
gay sex is not natural, and half believe primary school | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
children should not be taught Now we can speak to Benjamin Cohen, | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
CEO of Pink News, Tony Fenwick from Schools Out, which provides | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
resources to primary schools to teach about same-sex | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
relationships, and Katie Ivens from the Campaign | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
for Real Education. Thank you all for coming to speak to | :13:51. | :14:04. | |
us today. Benjamin, why did you commission this survey and were you | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
surprised by what you found out? We wanted to find that how people | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
really feel about attitudes to homosexuality. It is the anniversary | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
of the decriminalisation. We wanted to know if people felt gay sex was | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
natural or unnatural and I was surprised that so many people felt | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
it was unnatural. What is good is that the younger people are the more | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
positive in the way they feel about gay relationships. But more than | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
50%, actually 70% of people who were alive when homosexuality was a | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
crime, still think it is an unnatural act. About the education | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
in schools, Katie, can you understand why people think it is | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
important to think young children, and at primary school we are talking | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
about age four to nearly 11, about same-sex relationships. I think | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
primary education should be teaching the basics, literacy, numeracy, | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
learning about facts through subject education and becoming readers and | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
independent thinkers for themselves. I think the whole area of sexuality | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
should not be the main focus of primary education. Every child | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
should be treated and respected as an individual, but let the children | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
develop as they develop. I do think anyone thinks it should be the | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
primary focus. My niece Isabel is starting primary | :15:34. | :15:45. | |
school. One of her favourite books is called King and King, it tells | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
the story about two princes who fall in love and become things together. | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
There is no reason if you want to promote literacy that you couldn't | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
have books that are gay inclusive, and all we were asking about was | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
about relationship education. Lots of children like my niece had gay | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
members in their family and this is important that all young people | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
understand families come in all different shapes and sizes, and all | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
schools teach about mum and dad, why not teach about mummy and mummy and | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
daddy and daddy? Education should be liberal, but I am talking about the | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
focus, which I should jest should not be on the issue of sexual | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
identity at primaries call age. I don't think they would be doing that | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
at four or five. I don't know quite honestly what will be introduced to | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
children. My daughter has finished reception, she told me one day she | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
would marry one boy and one girl in her class, so I think it is quite a | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
simplistic approach. Sometimes the children almost don't think about | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
it, do they? Do they think about a mummy and daddy always has to be | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
together? Not many years ago children at primary school age would | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
have no access to same-sex relationships and that kind of thing | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
but it is a very different world we live in now. Many children have | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
same-sex parents, they will have a gay auntie or uncle or a lesbian | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
member of the family. So it is much closer to home. Also in soap operas | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
as if they watch television, they will see same-sex couples, it is | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
part of the everyday tapestry. We are no longer invisible. That has to | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
be reflected in primary school education. How do you teach it, | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
there are concerns from Katie, and I am sure many parents will say I tell | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
my chart going to school and it being advocated, what is the | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
sensitive line you tread? I don't think in primary anyone would be | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
promoting the idea that we should beat teaching young people how to | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
have sex, gay or straight. It is about relationships and families. | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
Families come in different shapes and sizes. Exactly, we start by | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
challenging the stereotypes, blue for boys, think the girls, that kind | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
of thing, and then talk about how different relationships form | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
different families and how that is acceptable and part of our rich | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
diversity in our society, and also our British values, which we talk | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
about a lot now. It is one of our British values. Katie, you said you | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
did not want it to be a primary focus, so how much of a young child | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
was night-time, education, is spent having this discussion, are we | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
talking an hour a week, a term? I think it is about relevance. Parents | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
watching this will say I want my child to do this much maths and | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
English, are we talking about this every day, every of week, every | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
month? The government is going to expand its birth in the secondary | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
and the primary, because it has not been taught very well in the past | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
and it will now be a curriculum subject that will be assessed. Sex | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
and relationship education will come into that as part of a holistic | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
curriculum area. Why not with the choice of books have gay characters | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
in them? You can still teach literacy. My little niece is | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
learning to read, and one of the books she uses doesn't just have a | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
prince that marries a princess. Which many parents hate anyway! PHS | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
E has never been good and I don't see why it should become any better | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
now just by talking about it more. I don't think it is going to happen. I | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
think it should be done factually, and it should focus on reproduction, | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
frankly, because we are the human species. We are mammals. Do you want | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
to teach five-year-olds about that? I have taught my own four or | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
five-year-old because they asked the questions and I gave the answers. My | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
nine-year-old did not want to know when his class was taught. His | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
friends are sorted a girl behind the bike sheds. I suggest we remain very | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
careful about it and focus on teaching fundamentals, to read and | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
to think themselves. If they are taught that as welcome is there a | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
place in school to teach just about relationships? Not even about | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
same-sex relationships, about friendships, sorting out problems, | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
and yes it is about mum and dad or mum and mum and dad and dad. Or just | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
mum and just dad. Indeed. The way you address relationships in primary | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
school, you don't address those as a subject. Relationships are not a | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
subject, teach the subjects, get them thinking for themselves, get | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
them to be critical and develop as individuals, developing their | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
intelligence, that is what schools should be about. I think that is | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
what everyone is proposing, aren't they? A lot of people at Promis call | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
age know a lot about sexuality and homosexuality and a lot of things | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
that aren't true, probably a lot of bad things, from their peers, a lot | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
of people out side. It is up to us as educators to talk to them | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
properly and clear up the mess and tell them the truth. It is not just | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
about sex, but also about safeguarding and protecting these | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
children so they know when they are in a vulnerable position and they | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
know what to do about it. We are wrapped out of time, thank you for | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
coming in and talking about this. Still to come, the parents of the | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
terminally ill baby Charlie Gard, have until midday to agree how his | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
life will end. We'll bring you the | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
latest on the case. 12 years, women's and children's | :21:45. | :22:09. | |
lives are being put at risk. They have new research to show that in | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
nearly a quarter of cases where domestic violence is alleged, | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
unsupervised contact during a father and child is granted. Earlier I | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
spoke to women's aid 's new chief executive, Katie Ghosh, and we also | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
spoke to Sarah Parsons from a group of social workers who were appointed | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
by family courts. But I began by talking to Zoe Dronfield. Zoe was a | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
survivor of domestic violence and had her daughter taken away from her | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
by the family courts. She told me the whole experience was hideous. | :22:40. | :23:05. | |
So we came face-to-face in the waiting room. | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
And he was saying all sorts of things, so that was | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
And the fact that I'd just left hospital was getting | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
over a serious a sort, so I was having to deal | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
Then the court itself was really clinical, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
there was zero emotion, no understanding of the traumatic | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
experience that you're going through really. | :23:22. | :23:22. | |
Because it's life-changing, decisions are going to be made | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
in that courtroom that are going to affect the rest | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
of your life and the rest of your children's lives. | :23:28. | :23:42. | |
And we hear Zoe's story and we can tell just by hearing that story how | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
traumatic it is even now, Zoe, for you to talk about that. | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
We can see that from the way that you are sitting, | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
Are these similar experiences that you were hearing? | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
Sadly, we have heard from women in situations such | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
as the one Zoe has described, and others as well, | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
where they have suffered domestic abuse and violence, | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
and then have to relive that trauma going through the courts. | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
And sadly we also know that some perpetrators of violence | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
will actively use the family courts to continue a campaign of coercive | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
There are lots of issues here and we just need to be mindful | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
and listen and learn from the experiences | :24:18. | :24:18. | |
We are very pleased that there is refreshed guidance for judges, | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
We want the government to get on and act on that and sign it off. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
And that's going to make some improvements to the family courts, | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
so that they can really make sure that women and their experiences | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
Sarah, go through what those changes will be once they are brought in? | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
The new guidance will make sure, for instance, that women who have | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
suffered domestic abuse are not cross examined by their perpetrator. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
People will find that amazing watching this, | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
It doesn't happen in the criminal cases, does it? | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
And the organisation that I am from, Cafcass, who look after the best | :24:58. | :25:09. | |
interests of children in these proceedings, have been contributing | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
to the updated guidance and are in favour of those changes. | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
Zoe, do you feel, as we heard there from Katie, that there are times | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
when your partner was able to manipulate the system | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
I mean, it was manipulation right from the very beginning. | :25:20. | :25:31. | |
He used the assault as an opportunity to then ask | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
He then submitted all sorts of lies into the court. | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
Honestly, it's like going into another dimension, that's | :25:43. | :25:55. | |
Why has there been a delay, Katie, in these suggestions | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
being implemented, these recommendations | :26:02. | :26:02. | |
I don't know why the delay has been, but we're really pleased | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
Not least because it makes it crystal clear to judges | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
and everyone in the courts, that it is the child's safety | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
And actually, it's that which trumps the interests or the wishes | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
So the guidance is good, it's going to make difference, | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
and now we just want the government to get on and sign and seal it | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
and have it in practice because women and children | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
are in the family courts every single day right now | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
and it is really important that this is done quickly. | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
I'm aware that it's really, very critical to make sure | :26:35. | :26:47. | |
The government sent us the following. These are very sensitive | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
cases and it is only right that the rules are very carefully considered. | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
The long-held message that patients should complete every course | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
of antibiotics - even if they feel better - | :27:04. | :27:05. | |
should end, according to a group of medical experts. | :27:06. | :27:07. | |
They argue in the British Medical Journal that that taking antibiotics | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
for longer than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
The government's chief medical officer has said the message | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
to the public remains that they should always | :27:17. | :27:18. | |
follow the advice of healthcare professionals. | :27:19. | :27:20. | |
Philip Howard, from the British Society | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, is an expert on antibiotics. | :27:24. | :27:24. | |
And Martin Marshall from the Royal College of GPs | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
So Martin, just explain first of all why with these people have come | :27:28. | :27:38. | |
together and look at this as an issue? Is it because of the concerns | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
about as taking too many antibiotics? The whole issue of | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
antibiotics resistance is a massive challenge for the NHS. Our Chief | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
Medical Officer has described it as big a challenge as terrorism, in | :27:53. | :28:00. | |
terms of potential costs. So we have a big challenge with antibiotic | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
resistance. A number of areas of guidance that doctors and patients | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
have been given, take your medication and take it as | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
prescribed. These experts are challenging that guidance, and they | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
are questioning whether it is based on good scientific evidence or not. | :28:18. | :28:28. | |
It is not so much that I made an active decision not to take them, I | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
kind of forgot, and I guess many people do that. Do you think that | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
makes sense, or is it dangerous? A lot of people do forget and a lot of | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
people don't take a full medication. I don't agree with this paper as it | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
stands at the moment. It is not an original research paper, it is a | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
thought piece, a criticism, if you like, it is important that in | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
medical journals we have these criticisms. It isn't saying there is | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
new evidence that says we should change our policy. At the moment the | :28:58. | :29:00. | |
policy remains the same, guidance the same, because we don't have | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
enough evidence to change it. Phil Howard, do you think it is right | :29:06. | :29:08. | |
people should not take a full course of antibiotics if they are feeling | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
better? I think we should follow the advice given by the health care | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
practitioner. I think the paper really raises the debate about | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
completing the course, and I think the decision on the length of the | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
course needs to be made by the health care practitioner that the | :29:28. | :29:30. | |
patient is seeing. I den think there is enough evidence to change policy | :29:31. | :29:34. | |
at the moment. I think we need clear information for patients. I think if | :29:35. | :29:44. | |
we change this message now, people will stockpile medicines at home and | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
take any leftovers, rather than go to see their GP for expert advice, | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
which could actually increase antibiotic resistance. So is the | :29:53. | :29:59. | |
answer shorter courses? I think we have to explore on a case-by-case | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
basis for individual infections, and actually look at if standard length | :30:03. | :30:07. | |
is appropriate for all patients. Do we need to give different lengths to | :30:08. | :30:13. | |
the vulnerable groups, such as the very young, old or those who have | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
immunosuppression. There needs to be further evidence before we make a | :30:20. | :30:27. | |
policy change. Yes, we already have a fair amount of flexibility within | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
prescribing guidance, so for urinary tract infections, if someone is | :30:32. | :30:37. | |
otherwise healthy and well, it is only three days, but the infections | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
in children, tonsillitis and adults, where we prescribe longer, a week or | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
so. There is already a fair amount of flexibility. The idea of | :30:46. | :30:53. | |
adjusting not just by patients, it is a really interesting idea but we | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
don't have any evidence to guide us. So at the moment the evidence | :30:57. | :30:59. | |
suggests we should do we are currently doing, and it will be very | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
dangerous to change that without new evidence that tells us. | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
Have you seen a change in the number of people who have said I would like | :31:09. | :31:17. | |
some antibiotics? Yes, I have. A significant change. Often GPs talk | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
about patients who come in with viral sore throats who want | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
antibiotics. We rarely see that these days. Now we see patients who | :31:25. | :31:30. | |
are reluctant to take antibiotics and they want to use their own | :31:31. | :31:33. | |
immune system to fight the infection. That is a great victory | :31:34. | :31:39. | |
for general practice and public health campaigns. We have turned | :31:40. | :31:48. | |
around, if you like, public attitudes towards and biotics which | :31:49. | :31:50. | |
is good. Phil, do you think attitudes are significantly changing | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
towards antibiotics? You used the example earlier on of terrorism. Do | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
you think the message is getting through to people of making sure we | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
do not get antibiotic resistance? No, I think there is a lot more we | :32:08. | :32:14. | |
should be doing. You have to tailor the message to the way that will | :32:15. | :32:19. | |
affect them rather than something which will affect them 20 or 30 | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
years in the future. We also have to talk about the potential harms of | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
antibiotics. They can cause diarrhoea and make you feel unwell. | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
You should not take other people's and a biotics but you should go and | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
see an expert who might give you some advice about your infection. Do | :32:41. | :32:45. | |
people really do that, take other people's antibiotics? Yes, it often | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
does happen. They will often take a short course and keep the remaining | :32:52. | :32:57. | |
tablets in their cupboard and take some later on or they will take | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
their brother or sister's or their parents, so it does happen. But the | :33:02. | :33:07. | |
advice now is take the course until the end. Yes, do what your GP | :33:08. | :33:16. | |
prescribes. Still to come: Britain's Adam Peaty defending his restrict | :33:17. | :33:22. | |

Here's Ben Brown in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news. | :33:41. | :33:43. | |
The Government has taken what is being described | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
as a "major step" in developing a new immigration policy. | :33:48. | :33:49. | |
Home Secretary Amber Rudd is asking independent migration experts | :33:50. | :33:51. | |
to analyse the role of EU nationals living and working in the UK. | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
They will report back next September, six months before | :33:56. | :33:57. | |
the UK's deadline to leave the European Union. | :33:58. | :33:59. | |
However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. | :34:00. | :34:09. | |
This is part of the process. This work has been going on for a year. | :34:10. | :34:16. | |
The migration advisory committee's work starts now. But liaising with | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
the industry and talking to different sectors has been going on | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
for a considerable period of time. This is part of the process of | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
informing the work the government will do on deciding what the | :34:28. | :34:32. | |
government policy will be when we leave the European Union and free | :34:33. | :34:34. | |
movement ends. The parents of the terminally-ill | :34:35. | :34:40. | |
baby Charlie Gard have until midday to agree | :34:41. | :34:42. | |
with Great Ormond Street Hospital They've accepted that Charlie | :34:43. | :34:44. | |
will spend his last days in a hospice rather than at home, | :34:45. | :34:48. | |
but Chris Gard and Connie Yates are asking to spend more time | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
with their son before life support The number of assaults in prisons | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
in England and Wales has risen There were 26,643 assaults in the 12 | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
months to March 2017. There were also a record number | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
of self-harm incidents - There were 97 self-inflicted deaths | :35:02. | :35:04. | |
in the year to June - Wild fires are continuing to burn | :35:05. | :35:09. | |

of Police Scotland, Phil Gormley, has confirmed he's being | :35:36. | :35:37. | |
investigated over allegations Details of the complaint | :35:38. | :35:38. | |
against Phil Gormley haven't been made public - | :35:39. | :35:41. | |
but the BBC understands they relate to his conduct | :35:42. | :35:44. | |
towards a more junior officer. The Prime Minister has said | :35:45. | :35:51. | |

news, join me for BBC Newsroom Live Thank you. A few minutes ago we were | :36:29. | :36:44. | |
talking about whether primary school children should be talking about | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
same-sex relationships. A lot of you have got in touch. Caroline on | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
Facebook says a loving relationship between two people of the same sex, | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
counts more than an abusive relationship between a man and a | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
woman. Elizabeth on Facebook says children will learn about same-sex | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
relationships in the playground anyway. It is better to give them | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
the facts in school. And Bev says let children be children and do what | :37:11. | :37:13. | |
children do. There is plenty of time for all of that at secondary school. | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
Too much is put onto young people. Do keep your views coming. Let's | :37:20. | :37:23. | |

The parents of the terminally ill baby, Charlie Gard, | :38:32. | :38:33. | |
have until midday to agree how his life will end. | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
They've accepted Charlie will be moved to a hospice | :38:37. | :38:38. | |
rather than go home, but Chris Gard and Connie Yates | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
are asking to spend more time with their son before his life | :38:41. | :38:43. | |
We can now speak to our correspondent Richard Lister | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
What will happen at midday? Well, we are unlikely to be told the details | :38:47. | :38:57. | |
about when Charlie Gard is moved to a hospice. That is a private | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
arrangement that the court has made with the family, and we are unlikely | :39:01. | :39:04. | |
to be told anything about that. And in fact, we are not allowed to | :39:05. | :39:10. | |
report which hospice he will be moved to, and when and if he is | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
moved. All we know is that by midday, the deadline for the parents | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
of Charlie Gard, to have an agreement with Great Ormond Street | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
hospital, and the Guardian for Charlie, that deadline will expire. | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
What the parents have to be able to do is satisfied Great Ormond Street | :39:28. | :39:30. | |
Hospital, that they have a medical team in place at the hospice where | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
Charlie will be moved to, that can oversee his care for a number of | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
days, that they say they want, to be able to spend the last days with | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
Charlie. It has been such a long legal battle on this. Have we heard | :39:44. | :39:52. | |
it on this latest element from Charlie's parents? We have not heard | :39:53. | :39:55. | |
beyond the appeals on Facebook that they have made for a properly | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
qualified doctor to be able to take care of and oversee this team that | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
the parents want to put in place for Charlie at the hospice. We have | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
heard them very anguished at court on the way the decisions have been | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
made thus far. But the High Court has been very clear on this. It was | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
back in April but Mr Justice Francis said Charlie should be able to die | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
with dignity, because there is concern he is suffering with pain. | :40:23. | :40:26. | |
Because he is unable to move, to see, hear, or make a sound, it is | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
very difficult to know what condition he is in. His parents | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
insist he is not in pain and they said is right for them to be able to | :40:35. | :40:39. | |
spend a few more days at a hospice. But Great Ormond Street hospital say | :40:40. | :40:52. | |
that can only happen if the care is in place, and so far it seems that | :40:53. | :40:55. | |
the parents are unable to provide the care team to satisfy the | :40:56. | :40:57. | |
hospital's requirements. Thank you. You can stay up to date on the BBC | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
News app and online. Could you live | :41:01. | :41:03. | |
without meat of dairy? With one in five of us | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
considering turning vegan we'll be talking to some of the people | :41:07. | :41:08. | |
who have taken it up Britain's Adam Peaty | :41:09. | :41:11. | |
defended his 50m breaststroke title with another stunning display | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
to complete a World Aquatics Peaty, 22, who also retained his | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
100m title on Monday now has five world titles to go along | :41:18. | :41:29. | |
with his Olympic gold medal It's been quite the record-breaking | :41:30. | :41:33. | |
career for Adam so far. In total, Adam has broken | :41:34. | :41:36. | |
the 50m breaststroke And during these championships, | :41:37. | :41:38. | |
he became the first swimmer to go under 26 seconds in the 50m race, | :41:39. | :41:44. | |
completing the distance in 25.95. In the 100 metres, he holds the top | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
ten times in the world! And he's hoping to become the first | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
swimmer to complete the 100m breaststroke in under 57 seconds, | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
which he calls Project 56. In a moment, we'll speak to somebody | :41:57. | :42:02. | |
who knows him best, but first, let's take a look at the race last | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
night. COMMENTATOR: A good, | :42:07. | :42:14. | |
solid reaction to the gun, and a very good start | :42:15. | :42:16. | |
for Adam Peaty. If you get a great start | :42:17. | :42:19. | |
in the semifinal, that is what got This is quite amazing, | :42:20. | :42:31. | |
absolutely brilliant Peaty is making the rest | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
of the world reset their dreams because their dreams are no | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
longer quick enough. And the time, 25.99, just outside | :42:40. | :42:40. | |
of his own world record. And the rest of the world starting | :42:41. | :42:43. | |
to come with him, you know. But no one within half a second | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
of Great Britain's Adam Peaty. He won gold on the 50, and now | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
he has done the double-double. We can speak to a friend | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
of Adam Peaty - Ryan Lovatt - who trained with him for about five | :42:55. | :43:08. | |
years, has known him ten years, Ryan, did you know he had those | :43:09. | :43:19. | |
performances in him? Yes, it has been a long time coming, that he has | :43:20. | :43:26. | |
been improving on the 50. Since Rio he has always been talking about | :43:27. | :43:29. | |
that he could lower it again. I think it has come sooner than | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
expected, with three years to go before Tokyo, but he has done | :43:35. | :43:40. | |
amazing out there this time. And he is only 22. Yes, it is scary to | :43:41. | :43:45. | |
think what he has achieved in his lifetime so far and what could still | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
to come. Who knows what he will do. Tell us a bit about what he is like | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
as a housemate, messy, annoying, fun? He is actually really, really | :43:57. | :44:02. | |
clean. He loves tidying. That is one of his favourite hobbies. He loves | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
the Hoover and the dust which works wonders for me that he is not in the | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
house that often, he is training a lot, but the dedication and | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
commitment he puts into training, allows him to spend time at home | :44:16. | :44:20. | |
revitalising. Tell us about the training regime. He gets up at what | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
time? He will get up around six o'clock, head to the pool for a | :44:26. | :44:27. | |
couple of hours. He will do a couple of hours in the water and an hour in | :44:28. | :44:51. | |
the gym after. He will come home a lunch at about 12 o'clock. He will | :44:52. | :44:54. | |
have a little sleep before going back to the pool for two or three | :44:55. | :44:57. | |
hours in the pool, or stretching. Then he will come home around 8pm. | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
Does he eat you out of house and home? | :45:01. | :45:10. | |
He wants to fuel his body with the best things he can to get the | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
performances he is doing out in Bulic Forsythe now. -- in Budapest. | :45:16. | :45:27. | |
Did you always know that he was talented, but that much more | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
talented than everybody else? Definitely. He came about 14 or 15. | :45:32. | :45:40. | |
At the time he was on Mars ahead of everybody else. He was just a normal | :45:41. | :45:48. | |
swimmer in the pool. That normal dedication and he has come through | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
the ranks and through the ranks and he has got the time. To go under 26 | :45:52. | :45:59. | |
was not something we thought he could do so soon. It shows great | :46:00. | :46:14. | |
science 30 and the competitions within that time frame, sorry, for | :46:15. | :46:22. | |
Tokyo. Olly Foster was saying, almost created his own stroke. Just | :46:23. | :46:34. | |
so fluid,. He won the 50 by 2%. A huge margin to be winning by that | :46:35. | :46:43. | |
distance. Project 56, to try to do 100 metres in under 57 seconds. 100 | :46:44. | :46:51. | |
breast row, Adam was the only person to go sub 58. To be talking about | :46:52. | :46:57. | |
sub 57 is something the whole world will be worried about. After the | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
performances he has done in the last 48 hours, and he goes again in the | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
relay on Sunday, it is something he will be looking to try and clinch in | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
that. Does he have to set himself goals like that to stay motivated? I | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
think that is what gives him the drive, that energy to want to get | :47:17. | :47:23. | |
back in that pool. He knows he is a good swimmer, going out there, it is | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
how can he make himself feel he has achieved that extra little thing. He | :47:29. | :47:36. | |
went 57.12 in the relay yesterday, faster than his current world | :47:37. | :47:39. | |
record, and you do get an advantage being in a relay of an anticipated | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
start, but it just shows that the 56, he is capable of doing that. | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
Thank you ever so much for speaking to us, Ryan, a flatmate of Adam | :47:49. | :47:54. | |
Peaty. It is one of the fastest-growing food movement and | :47:55. | :47:56. | |
now a new study shows that one in five of us would consider a vegan | :47:57. | :47:58. | |
diet. There are now half a million | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
vegans in the UK - the diet has risen by 250% | :48:02. | :48:04. | |
in the last decade. As well as being cited | :48:05. | :48:06. | |
for its health benefits, veganism is said to have positives | :48:07. | :48:08. | |
on the planet. Let's talk to Sean Fox | :48:09. | :48:10. | |
and Jessica Spencer-Keyse, who became vegans two weeks ago | :48:11. | :48:14. | |
together, and Emily Hyland, Also Ayela Spiro, | :48:15. | :48:16. | |
the Nutrition Science Manager at the British Nutrition Foundation, | :48:17. | :48:20. | |
who thinks a diet that includes plant-based food | :48:21. | :48:22. | |
is beneficial to our diet. Sophie Medlin, a lecturer | :48:23. | :48:24. | |
in Nutrition and Dietetics at King's College London | :48:25. | :48:26. | |
and a freelance dietitian who says she would never recommend | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
someone becoming a vegan. And professional free-runner | :48:30. | :48:30. | |
Tim Shieff, who won the 2009 Barclaycard World Freerun | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
Championship. He says he feels great from changing | :48:34. | :48:33. | |
his diet to vegan in 2012. Hello, good to see you all. Tim, | :48:34. | :48:54. | |
let's start with you, being a professional athlete and a vegan, | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
some people might think that doesn't go together naturally. Yes, I think | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
the experience has changed all of that for me and for anyone who has | :49:03. | :49:05. | |
looked into it, there are plenty of athletes all over the planet going | :49:06. | :49:08. | |
vegan for their health, to improve their skills and they are seeing | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
themselves go up in the ranking. For me, I have felt so much better | :49:13. | :49:16. | |
within days. I felt a difference in me as an athlete. There was a test | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
and a challenge, because I thought maybe I will get worse, I didn't | :49:21. | :49:23. | |
really know. The protein myth and all this sort of stuff, but the | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
experience was there was rewarded my decision, and it has just gone from | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
strength to strength. Emily Wold you agree? Yes, 100%. That has changed | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
my whole view on eating and what I put in my body. So what do you eat? | :49:39. | :49:46. | |
Give me an example. Lots of potatoes, steamed vegetables, lots | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
of vegan cheese, every supermarket now sells vegan cheeses. Nuts, | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
crisps, a lot of the same stuff, vegan burgers, lasagne is, great | :49:57. | :50:05. | |
carbonaras. Everything you used to eat but a vegan nosed version. And | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
you know what is in it, rather than stabbing something a few times, | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
whacking it in the microwave or throwing it on the grill can put all | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
the love into it, throw it into something else that you would love | :50:19. | :50:21. | |
the taste of and typically you know what has gone into it. I was reading | :50:22. | :50:27. | |
you were a massive meat eater. I used to work in a coffee shop, and I | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
would be cutting when somebody would come to the counter and say what | :50:32. | :50:42. | |
vegan options have you got? We have come as a couple, but having the | :50:43. | :50:46. | |
catalyst for thinking differently is the big thing setting the majority | :50:47. | :50:49. | |
of people apart from meeting a decision like this. It was not | :50:50. | :50:53. | |
something in my periphery at all, not something, like I say, I was | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
looking at all the stereotypes, wearing sacks and dreadlocks, | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
thinking OK. Haven't seen many of those this morning. They are | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
perceptions to be broken down. Does that mean you forced to do it? | :51:08. | :51:15. | |
Absolutely not. We watched Okja, the film, and it had us in tears at the | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
end, we were perfectly convinced there was no reason to kill any | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
animals to eat them. I have had a long-term health condition and I | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
have seen a dramatic shift in my health in the last 12 days. Really? | :51:27. | :51:32. | |
I literally couldn't do anything other than my job, my focus was my | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
job, and now I cycled the three hours the other night. You have two | :51:37. | :51:42. | |
where her out now. I have seen an amazing transformation and I want to | :51:43. | :51:50. | |
share it with people. I want to bring in Sophie, would you recommend | :51:51. | :51:53. | |
anybody becomes a vegan, is it healthy for us to become beacons? It | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
can be, but it is woolly hard work to make a vegan diet healthy. You | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
have to think carefully about what you want to eat all the time. I have | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
never recommended any of my patients following a vegan diet, I can't see | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
myself changing that, it is very important to make sure your diet is | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
safe and gives you all the nutrition you need. I have been a nutritional | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
scientist to 13 or 14 years now, it would be very hard for me on a | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
day-to-day basis to make sure I was meeting all of my nutritional | :52:25. | :52:26. | |
requirements. Most people would need to take some supplements. It is very | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
challenging to do that just on a vegan diet. Do you guys take | :52:32. | :52:37. | |
supplements? I used to be the, but the rest of the time I have a meal | :52:38. | :52:43. | |
plan written out. I feel really empowered by making that choice. | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
Before I was stating whatever, now it is I need to eat this much to get | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
this much magnesium, and if I eat chickpeas, I am getting all the | :52:52. | :52:57. | |
protein. Sounds exhausting! I find it William Harrold. You think about | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
football. It is important to know you can be healthy and a vegan, but | :53:02. | :53:07. | |
you can also be unhealthy and be a beacon. It is not just about giving | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
up animal products. You need to include all the vital nutrients you | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
need, you can have a really good and healthy diet, and scientific | :53:17. | :53:19. | |
evidence does look at more plant -based diets, not necessarily vegan, | :53:20. | :53:24. | |
a lot of fruit and veg, whole grains, beans and pulses, these are | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
food groups that the government, World Health Organisation, the world | :53:28. | :53:36. | |
Cancer research funds, will include people to -- encourage people to | :53:37. | :53:38. | |
include more plant -based things in their diets because they include | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
vital nutrients. People who follow more plant -based have lower rates | :53:43. | :53:48. | |
of obesity, cardiovascular disease, but it is very important when people | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
are considering taking a vegan diets that they are aware of the nutrients | :53:52. | :53:54. | |
they could be lacking and make sure they include foods. One of the | :53:55. | :54:00. | |
important things is if any of you spent that much time looking at your | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
diet, whether you are looking at making it into a vegan diet or a | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
much better balanced on the board diet, you would feel much better. It | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
is not just because you have cut out all those things. That is because | :54:12. | :54:14. | |
you are focusing on your diet and looking at the balance of it. I | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
don't take any supplements, protein powders, ie the balanced, I do think | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
about it that much daily first it becomes second nature quickly. I | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
think nature has pretty much provided. If you are worried, you | :54:28. | :54:31. | |
can look into it and take the supplements and eventually you | :54:32. | :54:36. | |
quickly learn it. For me it is out of compassion, you watched Okja, you | :54:37. | :54:39. | |
saw that animals are suffering and it is no longer necessary because | :54:40. | :54:42. | |
you can make it work. Even if it is a bit of extra work in the | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
beginning, you are doing it out of goodwill. Compassion. I can't | :54:48. | :54:55. | |
comment on the ethical side of things, I am probably a moral | :54:56. | :55:04. | |
beacon! Everyone is against Anil suffering, ask every person. | :55:05. | :55:07. | |
Everyone would agree. What is the spectrum, is it OK to kill it for | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
food, now we realise that one in five are considering it, one in 20 | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
probably is a vegan now in the UK and no one is falling dead, no one | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
getting these ailments. We don't know long-term. There has not been | :55:23. | :55:32. | |
that many vegans for this amount of time. I am a working mum, and I | :55:33. | :55:35. | |
think this sounds a flipping nightmare to become a bad enough to | :55:36. | :55:38. | |
get my children to eat at the best of times, but it sounds like it | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
takes a lot of planning, you said you had a meal plan? I am a research | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
by nature, that is my profession as well, so definitely I am that way, | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
but it literally to me half a day, and then I am set, I don't feel like | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
it takes that much time in the long run. You can easily incorporated | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
once you have read it, watched the documentary is. My denting in the | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
long term it is a difficult choice. I am a raw vegan, so I don't eat | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
anything cooked, probably your nightmare! Why are you a raw Tegan? | :56:12. | :56:19. | |
Health reasons, the diggers is not necessarily healthier, so I wanted | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
to take that next step, and it was self reflection that led me to | :56:24. | :56:26. | |
beginners, how can I be better? Then I got focused on trying to make | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
everyone vegan, and I realised I'm getting caught up in all the beacon | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
junk foods and trying to change other people, I need to work my | :56:36. | :56:43. | |
shelf, so I -- work on myself. I can only judge things on how I feel week | :56:44. | :56:50. | |
to week. Maybe ten years down the line something changes. Life leads | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
us to choose things day by day and how we feel at those moments. Emily, | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
that first shop you went on as a vegan, was it a challenge? We heard | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
there are perks out there, beacon cheese and things, but you must have | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
spent a long time working out... ? Not really, once you have the food | :57:09. | :57:12. | |
in, once you have made the James Comey go to the cupboards, there is | :57:13. | :57:16. | |
chickpeas, an array of nuts and all this kind of stuff. It just makes | :57:17. | :57:20. | |
sense. Once I had made a conscious decision, once I had figured out | :57:21. | :57:23. | |
