:00:19. > :00:21.Hello it's Tuesday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,
:00:22. > :00:25.Experts tell us that some women not seeking treatment early enough
:00:26. > :00:38.I don't know how long this woman was hiding cancer. Her breast was
:00:39. > :00:43.rotten. Also on the programme -
:00:44. > :00:47.the 20-year-old British model who was allegedly held captive
:00:48. > :00:51.by a gang in Italy was told she would be sold in the Middle East
:00:52. > :01:01."for sex", according to her lawyer. She was told that people were there
:01:02. > :01:06.watching her and ready to kill her if she tried anything. So she
:01:07. > :01:09.thought that the best idea was to go along with it.
:01:10. > :01:13.We'll talk to a close friend of Chloe Ayling who's spoken
:01:14. > :01:16.to the model since she returned to the UK.
:01:17. > :01:19.And we'll hear calls to ban the use of police
:01:20. > :01:32.Hello, welcome to the programme, we're live until 11.
:01:33. > :01:34.Throughout the programme the latest breaking news
:01:35. > :01:41.A little later we'll hear how the former boss of GCHQ -
:01:42. > :01:44.Britain's electronic surveillance agency - is calling for children
:01:45. > :01:50.to spend more time online to help save the country.
:01:51. > :01:53.Robert Hannigan says instead of allowing kids to "mooch"
:01:54. > :01:58.around the streets - parents should encourage them
:01:59. > :02:02.to have more screen time and that it's not a wasted life.
:02:03. > :02:07.Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning -
:02:08. > :02:10.use the hashtag Victoria live and If you text, you will be charged
:02:11. > :02:15.The lawyer for a British model who was allegedly held captive
:02:16. > :02:18.by a gang in Italy has been giving more details about the case.
:02:19. > :02:20.Francesco Peschi says Chloe Ayling, who's 20 and from South London,
:02:21. > :02:23.was told by her kidnappers that she would be sold
:02:24. > :02:30.He said she was acting under duress, when she was seen shopping
:02:31. > :02:37.with her captor before she was freed.
:02:38. > :02:47.Gavin Lee is following the story in Milan. Fill us in on the details
:02:48. > :02:51.from Chloe Ayling's lawyer? The point Francesco is making, he said
:02:52. > :02:56.there was a lot of misreporting, there are lots of facts in the case
:02:57. > :02:58.that he wanted to make sure there is clarity on, partly because he
:02:59. > :03:01.believes some British newspapers in particular have started to raise
:03:02. > :03:06.questions about whether she was complicit. He said categorically,
:03:07. > :03:10.this is something his clients, the police, the chief investigators
:03:11. > :03:14.believe she's gone through the most psychological and physical trauma
:03:15. > :03:19.and torment. So from the route to the fruit, as he sees it, what
:03:20. > :03:25.happened is that she arrived in Milan here on July 10th. The next
:03:26. > :03:30.day she saw a photo shoot advert, a fake one, close to Central Station.
:03:31. > :03:33.She went into a room. She saw three men very briefly, all had
:03:34. > :03:37.balaclavas, one put a hand on her mouth to stop her screaming, very
:03:38. > :03:41.quickly she was injected with something. We heard yesterday that
:03:42. > :03:48.it was a ketamine drug. She was placed in a bag, taken 120 miles in
:03:49. > :03:53.a car. It was a place close to the French Alps, there is one remote
:03:54. > :03:57.area. One man lives there. He told us if somebody is being held there
:03:58. > :04:04.he would not have heard. What happened to here in there is that he
:04:05. > :04:08.said she was tied to a box for two days and slowly released as she
:04:09. > :04:17.became more trusted by her captors. She is what he told me. -- this is
:04:18. > :04:24.what he told me. She was told she was going to be sold to somebody in
:04:25. > :04:29.the Middle East for sex. She was told that people were there watching
:04:30. > :04:37.her and ready to kill her if she tried anything. So she thought that
:04:38. > :04:46.the best idea was to go along with it and to be nice in a way to her
:04:47. > :04:51.captor Because he told her he wanted to release her somehow and some
:04:52. > :04:58.time. I've been to this remote place, it's a place where tourists
:04:59. > :05:01.go because there are bears, wolves, at night-time it's particularly
:05:02. > :05:07.unpleasant because of the sound scape of the place. In the farmhouse
:05:08. > :05:11.at the bottom, the bottom floor where she was held to a chest of
:05:12. > :05:15.drawers, she was slowly released with time but was told if she left
:05:16. > :05:20.she'd be killed. Here is the thing - the day before she was released,
:05:21. > :05:24.after seven days, not six, she was seen in a nearby village with her
:05:25. > :05:29.captor and that she was buying shoes, groceries together. What the
:05:30. > :05:33.lawyer has said is categorically, this was absolutely part of her way
:05:34. > :05:38.of surviving, she was told if she moved she would be killed. In fact,
:05:39. > :05:44.she was told the next day she'd probably be sold in the Middle East
:05:45. > :05:48.for around ?230,000. That was the idea they were trying to raise on an
:05:49. > :05:52.auction site, this group called the Black death group and what happened
:05:53. > :05:56.was the alleged chief suspect who was Polish who spent time living in
:05:57. > :06:01.Oldbury in the West Midlands, he said, if you stick with me, I will
:06:02. > :06:04.release you. Here is the other thing that was different. Yesterday he was
:06:05. > :06:09.claiming, according to the lawyers, that he released her because she had
:06:10. > :06:13.a two-year-old baby, a son, he's since changed his statement we are
:06:14. > :06:17.told by the police, he said he released her because he felt an
:06:18. > :06:20.affinity with her. She was driven to the consulate. He went in with her,
:06:21. > :06:24.she was then questioned there. She spent three weeks after that in
:06:25. > :06:28.Italy according to the lawyer as well and only came back on Sunday
:06:29. > :06:32.after helping police with their enquiries, so she's had two days
:06:33. > :06:38.back in the UK and has spoken briefly, reading a statement about
:06:39. > :06:45.her ordeal. In terms of the Italian police investigation, where do they
:06:46. > :06:48.say they're up to in this? We think according to the lawyers and the
:06:49. > :06:53.police statements, there are between three and four people who were
:06:54. > :06:57.hiding Chloe in this remote area. There were two cars, a Mercedes with
:06:58. > :07:01.British registration plates seen by the neighbours there, there was also
:07:02. > :07:06.a Volvo with Polish registration plates, that was the one that drove
:07:07. > :07:11.to the consulate. They're looking at the moment at exactly how big this
:07:12. > :07:15.group is, that there are other people apparently they've suggested
:07:16. > :07:24.they could sell on online sites although nothing's come to fruition.
:07:25. > :07:28.The group seemed to be selling on pornographic websites, pictures from
:07:29. > :07:35.the porn shoots and not the victims, it was then questioned, was this
:07:36. > :07:42.some sort of scam group. This will take a long time to work out. It
:07:43. > :07:47.will take six months to go through court. Just being here, in the
:07:48. > :07:51.fashion capital of the world in Milan, there are lots of young
:07:52. > :07:54.models drawn to this place, modelling agencies I've spoken to
:07:55. > :07:58.over the past day or so say this is not the formula that you would go
:07:59. > :08:04.through. What would happen is that you would always be escorted from
:08:05. > :08:07.the UK to Milan if ever there was a proper photo shoot deal. They are
:08:08. > :08:11.warning if ever women are in a similar position, this is not the
:08:12. > :08:16.way to do it. This is for Chloe's sake, given what we are hearing, is
:08:17. > :08:23.a most horrendous ordeal. Thank you very much indeed. About 9.
:08:24. > :08:25.45, we'll talk to one of Chloe's close friends who's spoken to her
:08:26. > :08:27.since she returned to the UK. The Victoria Derbyshire Programme
:08:28. > :08:36.has learned that a number of women in the UK from South Asian
:08:37. > :08:41.backgrounds who have cancer hide it because of a perceived
:08:42. > :08:43.stigma about the disease. they're worried cultural
:08:44. > :08:46.taboos are leading to more Some women even hide
:08:47. > :08:50.their diagnosis from family and friends out of shame -
:08:51. > :08:52.in one case a woman only sought treatment
:08:53. > :09:00.when her breast was rotten. More than 40 maternity units in
:09:01. > :09:05.England closed to new admissions according to data obtained by
:09:06. > :09:09.Labour. 42 out of 96 Trusts that responded to a Freedom of
:09:10. > :09:12.Information request said they'd shut maternity wards temporarily on 382
:09:13. > :09:16.occasions. Labour has blamed staffing shortages but the
:09:17. > :09:28.Government says that is misleading and closures are well rehearsed.
:09:29. > :09:32.Norfolk police have said a victim was stabbed in the head and neck
:09:33. > :09:37.whilst walking his doings in the woodland, he was 82 and seen as
:09:38. > :09:44.well-mannered, well-natured and well-liked. Officers have appealed
:09:45. > :09:55.for information. Police in West London are appealing for help to
:09:56. > :09:59.find a person who appeared to push a man into a pedestrian into the road.
:10:00. > :10:03.The oncroping bus is forced to swerve into the next lane to avoid
:10:04. > :10:08.hitting her. The bus stopped and passengers tended to the woman who
:10:09. > :10:11.received minor injuries. An appeal has been launch for witnesses or
:10:12. > :10:16.anyone who recognises the jogger, described as white, in his early to
:10:17. > :10:22.mid 30s with brown eyes and short brown hair. Anyone with information
:10:23. > :10:30.is asked to call police. They can also call Crimestoppers. Crime stop
:10:31. > :10:33.Britain's most senior judge has told the government it must provide more
:10:34. > :10:35.clarity about how UK law will be developed after Brexit.
:10:36. > :10:38.Currently, UK legislation is subject to rulings made
:10:39. > :10:42.Lord Neuberger said Parliament must be "very clear" in telling
:10:43. > :10:45.the judges what to do about decisions of this court
:10:46. > :10:50.Another victim of the 11 September 2001 attack
:10:51. > :10:53.on the World Trade Center in New York City has been identified
:10:54. > :10:56.The name of the man is being withheld at
:10:57. > :11:00.The last time a victim was identified was March 2015.
:11:01. > :11:02.Only 60% of the victims of the attack have
:11:03. > :11:13.There are calls to ban the use of tasers on anyone under 18.
:11:14. > :11:15.The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health say the devices
:11:16. > :11:19.are harmful and should not be used on children - and adds that Tasering
:11:20. > :11:21.a minor contravenes the UN Conventions on the Rights
:11:22. > :11:32.The youngest child to be fired at with a taser is thought to be 14
:11:33. > :11:35.That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30am.
:11:36. > :11:38.Do get in touch with us throughout the morning -
:11:39. > :11:41.use the hashtag Victoria Live and if you text, you will be charged
:11:42. > :11:45.Let's get some sport now with Leah and so near yet so far
:11:46. > :11:49.for Britain's Laura Muir at the world athletics last night?
:11:50. > :11:51.It was another disappointing night in terms of medals
:11:52. > :12:09.She said it was gut wrenching. She was overtaken at the end. She missed
:12:10. > :12:14.out by 700th of a second at the finish line. It was agonisingly
:12:15. > :12:18.close for the 24-year-old who had actually recovered from a stress
:12:19. > :12:25.fracture in her foot in June and, even though she said she was gutted
:12:26. > :12:28.she said she gave it her all. Another disappointing night
:12:29. > :12:36.generally for Britain in terms of medals? Yes, Sophie Hitchon left the
:12:37. > :12:42.hammer cage in tears, despite giving it her best throw. She came seventh.
:12:43. > :12:46.She couldn't hold her emowses back. It shows the passion. 12 months ago
:12:47. > :12:52.from last night, she won bronze in Rio but it wasn't meant to be for
:12:53. > :12:59.her this time around. She's a former ballerina. That meant no British
:13:00. > :13:07.medals but they of the men, as you are seeing, made the 200 metres
:13:08. > :13:16.semi-finals. Danny Talbot got a personal best.
:13:17. > :13:18.Justin Gatlin's agent has been speaking to the BBC
:13:19. > :13:20.in the wake of the booing after his 100 metre win.
:13:21. > :13:29.Lots of talk about this. People think the American strinter
:13:30. > :13:33.shouldn't have been taking part in this because he served for doping
:13:34. > :13:38.twice. The IAAF reinstated him. They say he hasn't broken any rules this
:13:39. > :13:41.time around but his agent has spoken out, saying that everyone should
:13:42. > :13:45.basically get over the fact that Gatlin served the drugs bans and
:13:46. > :13:52.he's not particularly happy with Lord Coe either. Have a listen. I
:13:53. > :13:57.take offence to, with all due respect, Lord Coe, he is a part of
:13:58. > :14:01.the IAAF who set the rules and punishment and when you serve the
:14:02. > :14:05.punishment you are supposed to be reinstated, which these athletes who
:14:06. > :14:08.have offended and abused some of the rules have, and if you don't want
:14:09. > :14:16.them in, you should change the rules. You don't allow them in and
:14:17. > :14:20.still condemn them. We are talking about 11 years, the doping ban, so
:14:21. > :14:25.at some point we all have to move past this.
:14:26. > :14:28.And it seems like some of the athletes have been laid
:14:29. > :14:40.Yes, they are staying at one of the team hotels in London and have come
:14:41. > :14:43.down with gastroenteritis. The hotel will investigate the origins of the
:14:44. > :14:46.illness but they say they believe the hotel was not the source of the
:14:47. > :14:54.bug and they've made sure anyone affected isn't in contact with other
:14:55. > :14:57.guests but it's hit some big names, including Isaac Makwala from
:14:58. > :15:04.Botswana who missed the 200 metres last night. He's a favourite for the
:15:05. > :15:08.400 metres too. Several other German and Canadian athletes staying at the
:15:09. > :15:15.hotel fell ill last week too. We'll have to see that one. More at 9. 30.
:15:16. > :15:23.In half an hour's time we will talk to a close friend of the 20-year-old
:15:24. > :15:25.British model who is back in the UK after allegedly being kidnapped in
:15:26. > :15:30.Milan. That is at 9.45am. This programme has learned that
:15:31. > :15:32.a number of UK women from South Asian backgrounds
:15:33. > :15:35.who have cancer, hide it, because of a perceived
:15:36. > :15:40.stigma about the disease. Researchers say they're worried that
:15:41. > :15:43.cultural taboos are leading to more women dying prematurely
:15:44. > :15:49.in the South Asian community. We've discovered that some
:15:50. > :15:52.hide their diagnosis from family and friends out of shame
:15:53. > :15:55.and in one case a woman only sought treatment when her
:15:56. > :15:57.breast was "rotten". Our reporter Amber Haque has been
:15:58. > :16:00.looking into what needs to be done She said she was going to refuse
:16:01. > :16:07.chemo because God gave it to her. The reluctance to go
:16:08. > :16:11.for a smear is deemed to be like you're being unfaithful,
:16:12. > :16:15.it is like infidelity. I've become aware of South Asian
:16:16. > :16:19.women who have had a diagnosis of cancer and they've
:16:20. > :16:22.kept it very hidden. She says, "You've been given cancer
:16:23. > :16:26.and you can cover this up now." A woman who came with a rotten
:16:27. > :16:29.breast and it was smelling so much that you couldn't even sit
:16:30. > :16:37.next to it. Research suggests that one in two
:16:38. > :16:39.of us will get cancer And some people, particularly
:16:40. > :16:45.in the South Asian community, They are not going for cancer
:16:46. > :16:52.screening, and in some instances, they are even
:16:53. > :16:53.hiding their diagnosis. Because it's a shame,
:16:54. > :17:01.it's a death sentence And there's a concern
:17:02. > :17:07.that belief is causing The breasts aren't just seen
:17:08. > :17:11.as another part of your body. Therefore, anyone touching them
:17:12. > :17:17.is doing it in a sexual way. This is from the perspective
:17:18. > :17:31.of the husband. Praveena stumbled upon a lump
:17:32. > :17:35.in her breast when she was 36. She grew up in a strict Indian
:17:36. > :17:37.community, where even talking about the disease was seen
:17:38. > :17:42.as something shameful. When she was diagnosed,
:17:43. > :17:47.she decided to hide it. So, a lot of it, in terms
:17:48. > :17:54.of not telling my family, I didn't tell them because I just
:17:55. > :17:57.thought if people hear the fact that I've got cancer,
:17:58. > :17:59.they're going to think Maybe I lived a bad life,
:18:00. > :18:04.therefore God has punished me And I just didn't want to be
:18:05. > :18:09.associated with that. And so, hiding it was
:18:10. > :18:14.the obvious choice for me. It was lonely.
:18:15. > :18:16.I won't deny that. I was going to chemotherapy
:18:17. > :18:25.sessions on my own. I drove
:18:26. > :18:26.myself there and back. And I had very dark
:18:27. > :18:29.days because of that. I suppose I probably also went
:18:30. > :18:34.through some form of depression. In recent years now,
:18:35. > :18:44.I've become aware of South Asian women who have had a diagnosis
:18:45. > :18:47.of breast cancer or cervical cancer and they have kept it very hidden,
:18:48. > :18:50.they have hit a in their homes. Pooja is the lead researcher
:18:51. > :18:52.for a team called CLAHRC. They're funded by a research
:18:53. > :18:55.arm of the NHS and work with public and professionals
:18:56. > :18:58.on health inequalities. She has spent the past few years
:18:59. > :19:01.looking at attitudes towards cancer She says she's worried by some
:19:02. > :19:06.of the things she has heard Some of the other conversations I've
:19:07. > :19:11.had with Bangladeshi women that really surprised me,
:19:12. > :19:19.and it's quite sad really, they would hide the shame
:19:20. > :19:22.in their eyes of having a cancer diagnosis because they felt it would
:19:23. > :19:24.influence their children's future. And that potentially, no one
:19:25. > :19:27.would want to marry their children, And some woman went to the extent
:19:28. > :19:35.of not even having treatments, because if they went for treatment,
:19:36. > :19:38.people will now that they have had cancer because they
:19:39. > :19:40.might lose their hair. Why do you think going
:19:41. > :19:43.for cancer screening is such The reluctance to go
:19:44. > :19:47.for a smear is that you don't For the husband, it's deemed
:19:48. > :19:53.to be like you are being You've been tainted
:19:54. > :20:06.by someone else all almost. I've also heard through other
:20:07. > :20:10.friends in conversation about how sometimes people felt the smear test
:20:11. > :20:14.will actually stretch them and therefore that's not
:20:15. > :20:16.something they want to do. As shocking as that may seem,
:20:17. > :20:19.these are real things that actually When it came to South Asian women,
:20:20. > :20:27.there were some specific issues that actually were raised
:20:28. > :20:29.within this work. For example, there was more
:20:30. > :20:39.of an issue around shame, an issue around modesty and about
:20:40. > :20:42.the influence from the males and If they didn't think that women
:20:43. > :20:46.should be going for screening, What are some of the more shocking
:20:47. > :20:49.misconceptions you have I think the fact that cancer doesn't
:20:50. > :20:54.happen to South Asian women. As well as that, another aspect
:20:55. > :20:57.when it came to going for smears, was about women losing
:20:58. > :20:59.their virginity by And then again, not being able
:21:00. > :21:11.to get married because there would be proof that they weren't
:21:12. > :21:17.a virgin any more. These were quite surprising, I
:21:18. > :21:20.think, conversations that I've had. It's hard to say just how
:21:21. > :21:22.serious the problem is because very little information has
:21:23. > :21:24.been collected on ethnicity Research we do have has shown Asian
:21:25. > :21:32.women with breast cancer have poorer survival,
:21:33. > :21:35.and are more likely to present with advanced tumours
:21:36. > :21:41.when they do get diagnosed. Experts tell us they're concerned
:21:42. > :21:43.that cultural stigmas are leading I worked in the cancer
:21:44. > :21:52.field for many years, maybe 30 years or more,
:21:53. > :21:54.and over the time I've seen a lot of Asian women,
:21:55. > :21:57.and the sad thing is that because of the ignorance
:21:58. > :22:00.of not presenting early, not following or going
:22:01. > :22:04.through the screening programme or not examining their breasts,
:22:05. > :22:06.they are presented late So then there is a stigma attached
:22:07. > :22:15.that when you have got cancer, Do we know for a fact that
:22:16. > :22:19.South Asian women are having poorer I'd say yeah, the literature does
:22:20. > :22:28.highlight and the evidence suggests that South Asian women are more
:22:29. > :22:31.likely to have worse outcomes. And would it be fair to say that
:22:32. > :22:34.some of those deaths are avoidable? Yeah, you could say that some
:22:35. > :22:44.of them are preventable because if they had of been
:22:45. > :22:46.for their screening it may have been picked up
:22:47. > :22:49.when the cancer was minute. The concern is that women
:22:50. > :22:50.are suffering unnecessarily. South Asian women are more
:22:51. > :22:53.likely to be from poor and deprived backgrounds,
:22:54. > :22:54.meaning the levels of Charities and local authorities do
:22:55. > :22:59.what they can with translated But should the community
:23:00. > :23:08.be doing more? I'm meeting a group of Asian women
:23:09. > :23:12.who have all been affected So, before I was diagnosed,
:23:13. > :23:21.I didn't know anything. I'd never self-checked
:23:22. > :23:22.and we never really spoke about it in the house,
:23:23. > :23:24.about the importance of self-checking, so
:23:25. > :23:27.for me when I found out, It was a pure accident when I found
:23:28. > :23:35.a lump in my breast. I would describe it as a size
:23:36. > :23:38.of a golf ball. To give you an idea of how big
:23:39. > :23:41.the tumour, the cancer is. I was very fortunate
:23:42. > :23:43.that it hadn't spread. Again, I think the biggest
:23:44. > :23:45.shock for me was, why For some reason it never
:23:46. > :23:51.hit my radar at all. We'd had heart disease,
:23:52. > :23:56.diabetes in our family, But cancer was never mentioned,
:23:57. > :24:03.cancer was never spoken about. I had one sister ring me up
:24:04. > :24:06.and said sister, I think She said, "Well, you have been
:24:07. > :24:21.given cancer, you have So my mum, I don't think she's ever
:24:22. > :24:25.been for a smear test. The thought of somebody
:24:26. > :24:27.seeing her probably naked from the waist below was the most
:24:28. > :24:30.uncomfortable feeling in the world for her,
:24:31. > :24:32.so she just didn't want to go. Even though we've been
:24:33. > :24:36.through everything. These, I'm hoping, are very
:24:37. > :24:38.small numbers of people. If we know that there are some
:24:39. > :24:41.circumstances in local communities where the men's view of this
:24:42. > :24:44.is quite important, and then it would be for the local areas,
:24:45. > :24:47.the GPs or the CCGs to understand that, to talk to those groups
:24:48. > :24:51.of people and help unpick some There will be men who have
:24:52. > :24:57.comfortably allowed their wives, and even encouraged their wives
:24:58. > :24:59.to have these things, Why wouldn't you want your wife
:25:00. > :25:08.not to have cancer? How often do you see Asian women
:25:09. > :25:14.that have had positive experiences That are very few Asian
:25:15. > :25:18.women who have had a lot This reminds me of a woman who came
:25:19. > :25:23.to see us with a fungal thing, a rotten breast, and it was smelling
:25:24. > :25:25.so much that you couldn't I don't know how long
:25:26. > :25:29.she was hiding that. So she had literally
:25:30. > :25:31.left it that long? Because the cancer had spread
:25:32. > :25:45.to other parts of the body as well. I mean, it was very
:25:46. > :25:47.sad for the young lady But because she couldn't
:25:48. > :25:52.share that with everyone. How often do you hear that women
:25:53. > :25:55.feel like they can't share In my case, there was
:25:56. > :26:03.no support as such. My husband just said,
:26:04. > :26:05."I cannot cope with this", But I felt like there was no
:26:06. > :26:13.one I could talk to. I remember speaking to my in-laws
:26:14. > :26:18.and they said, "Don't cry, you have to be strong
:26:19. > :26:21.for your husband and your child". But I want my husband to be that
:26:22. > :26:24.strength and that shield now. Why do I have to be the one who has
:26:25. > :26:30.do pick up the weight in the Asian family and be strong when I'm
:26:31. > :26:32.going through all of this? I just thought, I don't want to be
:26:33. > :26:35.strong, I want it to be At chemo, I spoke to an Asian woman
:26:36. > :26:40.who really found it difficult Her husband literally stood
:26:41. > :26:44.over her during chemo to make sure So that when they left
:26:45. > :26:48.the unit, she was looking When we talk about educating
:26:49. > :26:57.ourselves, we need to educate our brothers and fathers
:26:58. > :26:59.and husbands even more. I don't think that conversations
:27:00. > :27:01.happen in the house. Before any educational TV or any
:27:02. > :27:05.adverts or leaflets or centres, we need to get to a point
:27:06. > :27:11.where parents and mothers are comfortable with educating
:27:12. > :27:14.their daughters at home to say lets, Anything, any changes to your body,
:27:15. > :27:17.let's talk about it. What would you like to see,
:27:18. > :27:19.moving forward now, So, we've got some data on what has
:27:20. > :27:26.been implemented, but we haven't got data on how effective those
:27:27. > :27:30.implementations have been. And I think we need to collect that
:27:31. > :27:37.data so that we can really influence the type of interventions that
:27:38. > :27:39.are required and which aren't working and which
:27:40. > :27:40.ones aren't working. So ultimately, we can
:27:41. > :27:42.work with public health When we get the CLAHRC results,
:27:43. > :27:46.we will implement those things and we've got every reason to think
:27:47. > :27:51.that will help save women from Asian backgrounds lives

:27:55. > :28:03.of me losing my hair. And knowing that because it's
:28:04. > :28:05.on the outside rather on the inside, and visible to the world,
:28:06. > :28:08.it's something that he wouldn't Praveena completed her chemo
:28:09. > :28:13.and is now in remission. She and her husband got divorced
:28:14. > :28:16.during her treatment, something she says was partly due
:28:17. > :28:19.to cultural expectations Do you think that getting cancer led
:28:20. > :28:27.to the breakdown of your marriage? The bearing on him was that my wife
:28:28. > :28:37.had to look in a particular way. And for her to look ill in front
:28:38. > :28:41.of other people was not acceptable. So he never knew, he will do now,
:28:42. > :28:45.but he never knew the extent of the side-effects that I had
:28:46. > :28:49.from the chemotherapy. For Praveena, it's the community
:28:50. > :28:57.itself that needs to work harder. And no matter how educated you are,
:28:58. > :29:01.and I am from the medical profession, and I know all these
:29:02. > :29:04.things, and yet I still felt I had And that's down to my upbringing,

:30:38. > :30:44.Chloe Ayling who is 20 and from South London says she was told by
:30:45. > :30:49.her kidnappers she'd be sold as a sex slave in the Middle East. She
:30:50. > :30:53.says she was acting unduh derest when she was seen out shopping with
:30:54. > :30:57.her captor. She was told that people were there watching and ready to
:30:58. > :31:05.kill her if she tried anything so she thought that the best idea was
:31:06. > :31:10.to go along with it and to be nice, in a way, to her captor. This
:31:11. > :31:14.programme has learnt a number of women in the UK from South Asian
:31:15. > :31:18.backgrounds who have cancer hide it because of a perceived stigma about
:31:19. > :31:21.the disease. Researchers say they're worried cultural taboos are leading
:31:22. > :31:25.to more women dying prematurely, some women even hide their Tighe

:35:00. > :35:01.police have used tasers That doesn't mean they've
:35:02. > :35:04.actually been fired - it could mean taken out
:35:05. > :35:07.of the holster or drawn. The youngest child to be fired
:35:08. > :35:11.with a taser is thought to be 14. Now the Royal College of Paediatrics
:35:12. > :35:14.and Child Health say the devices are harmful and should not
:35:15. > :35:16.be used on children, and adds that Tasering
:35:17. > :35:20.a minor contravenes the UN Conventions on the Rights
:35:21. > :35:24.of the Child. Here's a short video showing police
:35:25. > :36:06.training how to use a Taser. We can speak now to Steve White,
:36:07. > :36:09.chair of the Police Federation, who is also a serving officer
:36:10. > :36:12.of 29 years. Oliver Feeley-Sprage, human rights
:36:13. > :36:26.group Amnesty International's Welcome. Explain Steve what a Taser
:36:27. > :36:31.is and why the police use it sometimes? It's basically an
:36:32. > :36:38.electrical device powered by battery, it fires two barbs, simple
:36:39. > :36:44.O-level physics essentially, if the two barbs go to the sub ject, the
:36:45. > :36:48.current runs which produces muscle contractions in the person that it's
:36:49. > :36:51.being fired on. Time and time again it's shown to be extremely
:36:52. > :36:57.effective. What is important to recognise is that as you rightly
:36:58. > :37:00.pointed out, Taser use is not really about firing, it's about the threat
:37:01. > :37:04.of use and understanding that if you don't comply with what the officer
:37:05. > :37:09.is saying, this could be coming your way. Nine times out of ten, probably
:37:10. > :37:15.even higher proportion than that, people understand the threat and it
:37:16. > :37:19.immediately deescalates the situation, regardless of the
:37:20. > :37:27.person's age. Do you accept that? For us it's a specialist tool that
:37:28. > :37:31.has a clear rationale to be used in particular circumstances, but it
:37:32. > :37:34.comes with risks. It's not just us that says that, it's the
:37:35. > :37:37.Government's own medical advice. It points to the fact that it can be
:37:38. > :37:41.lethal. There have been deaths in the UK, there are a number of
:37:42. > :37:45.inquests going on at the moment. There are two cases at least that
:37:46. > :37:53.I'm aware of where Taser use has been linked to the deaths. They're
:37:54. > :37:57.extremely painful as weapons. As a human rights organisation, we say
:37:58. > :38:00.their use must be incredibly carefully controlled and must only
:38:01. > :38:05.be used in certain circumstances, that's where our concern lies here.
:38:06. > :38:07.Would you say they are only used in the circumstances where it's
:38:08. > :38:11.absolutely necessary as outlined? Absolutely. Every time a police
:38:12. > :38:15.officer says he needs a tactical option in terms of force, they have
:38:16. > :38:19.to do it in the terms of the threat they're facing and the public are
:38:20. > :38:23.facing. It's not a question of give every copper a Taser so instead of
:38:24. > :38:28.stopping them you can red dot them. We are talking about a tactical
:38:29. > :38:31.option. Whilst nothing is 100% safe, statistics show the instances of
:38:32. > :38:35.harm to police officers and suspects are gone down since Taser has been
:38:36. > :38:40.introduced. I would much rather that someone had the threat of Taser than
:38:41. > :38:44.was hit with a baton, iron bar or deployed with CS. We often end up
:38:45. > :38:48.rolling around on the floor with people when we are detaining them.
:38:49. > :38:53.Injuries happen and some are serious. Taser is a very safe
:38:54. > :38:59.tactical option. This tweet from Anthony which I'll put to you
:39:00. > :39:03.Oliver, reusing Tasers on children, what are the police expected to do
:39:04. > :39:08.to defend themselves if a "child" comes at them armed with a knife or
:39:09. > :39:11.worse a gun which might be loaded? OK, well let's look at this first
:39:12. > :39:17.from the Government's own medical advice. They clearly say that
:39:18. > :39:21.Tasering young people carries risks, both to health but also
:39:22. > :39:25.psychologically. That is reflected in the UN standards that clearly say
:39:26. > :39:29.it's risky and today UK medical bodies have come out and said so. So
:39:30. > :39:32.I think we start from the perspective here that Tasering
:39:33. > :39:37.children is something that really shouldn't happen. But it doesn't say
:39:38. > :39:42.that it should never happen because there are extreme circumstances
:39:43. > :39:47.where in that instance... So in this example that Anthony is talking
:39:48. > :39:50.about? Yes, where somebody may die and the tactical option wasn't used.
:39:51. > :39:54.I think if you set the standard which says you shouldn't be using
:39:55. > :39:58.this against children unless there is really no alternative, that would
:39:59. > :40:02.probably be a sensible way forward. Is that not the standard, are you
:40:03. > :40:06.not actually saying the same thing? We are saying before, we do agree on
:40:07. > :40:11.most things. Because you are not calling for it to be banned on under
:40:12. > :40:15.18s are you? No, but we do want greater protection. We want it much
:40:16. > :40:19.clearly specified in the guidelines on Taser use that Tasering children
:40:20. > :40:23.comes with additional risks and that there should be a strict prohibition
:40:24. > :40:27.against using it. But not saying that in all circumstances you
:40:28. > :40:31.couldn't, for the example of the tweet, you know, that is a clear
:40:32. > :40:36.example where the exception includes the rule. We need a check on
:40:37. > :40:41.reality. It's very well sitting round thinking about the ins and
:40:42. > :40:46.outs and the guidance 679 our officers face the threats day in day
:40:47. > :40:51.out. We have seen a rise in knife crime for example... Sure and nobody
:40:52. > :40:56.would disagree with that. But Oliver is saying, on the specific guidance
:40:57. > :41:01.and really that language is tight for an officer to read and learn and
:41:02. > :41:08.absorb, do you agree with the kind of language that Oliver's used?
:41:09. > :41:11.Let's go back to the practical application, in terms of assessing
:41:12. > :41:15.someone's age, are you going to go through a semi interview before you
:41:16. > :41:18.find out. Of course that's completely impractical and people
:41:19. > :41:22.would understand that there are some people who're under 18 and look mid
:41:23. > :41:26.20s, there are some who're over 18 and look as though they're young
:41:27. > :41:32.teens. It's a very difficult area which is why it's got to be based on
:41:33. > :41:36.threat and risk, it can't be based on an arbitrary figure, whether it
:41:37. > :41:40.be 16, 21, simple as that. Is that a fair point? I think what I would say
:41:41. > :41:44.is there is a mismatch between the Government's medical advice on the
:41:45. > :41:49.use of Taser and the guidance in place in writing about one Tasers
:41:50. > :41:54.should be used. But on that specific point about under 18s, how would you
:41:55. > :41:59.know? There are 15-year-old lads who look 21? Exactly and that comes down
:42:00. > :42:03.to the officer training, that is another issue that we've not been
:42:04. > :42:11.getting into here. It's a key thing that the officers have to be most
:42:12. > :42:17.highly trained. Matt says people forget there are many six foot plus
:42:18. > :42:21.14-year-olds and when you combine with that with mind-altering drugs,
:42:22. > :42:25.a Taser is a safe way for the police and the perpetrator to gain control
:42:26. > :42:29.of the situation. Thank you both very much.
:42:30. > :42:36.The Home Office says they are an important tactical operation for
:42:37. > :42:39.trained officers, particularly in potentially violent situations where

:42:45. > :42:53.ethnicity and age of those involved. The Toronto police officer
:42:54. > :42:56.who bought a shoplifter A British model who was allegedly
:42:57. > :43:01.held captive by a gang in Italy was told she would be sold
:43:02. > :43:05.in the Middle East "for sex," Francesco Peschi also told the BBC
:43:06. > :43:10.that 20-year-old Chloe Ayling had been acting under duress
:43:11. > :43:14.when she was taken shopping The ordeal is alleged to have
:43:15. > :43:22.taken place last month, and was made public by Italian
:43:23. > :43:24.police only last week. She was told that people
:43:25. > :43:29.were there watching her and ready to kill her if she tried anything,
:43:30. > :43:46.so she thought that the best And to be nice in a way to her
:43:47. > :43:48.captor because he told her that he wanted to release her.
:43:49. > :43:51.Let's talk exclusively now to Carla Belluci,
:43:52. > :43:55.a close friend of Chloe Ayling who has known her since she was 15.
:43:56. > :43:59.Carla has been speaking to Chloe in the last couple of days.
:44:00. > :44:16.A friend of Chloe - how's she been in the last couple of days?
:44:17. > :44:21.She's doing relatively well. As soon as I knew that it was Chloe, I
:44:22. > :44:24.called her and it was very emotional. What did she say about
:44:25. > :44:27.what happened to her? Obviously a lot cannot be talked ability because
:44:28. > :44:37.of the police and what is happening with the case but she did say that
:44:38. > :44:42.she was drugged and drove I believe 100-odd miles whilst in a suitcase.
:44:43. > :44:46.What did she say about that ordeal? She said it was horrendous. A lot of
:44:47. > :44:51.it she was trying not to get herself into trouble as she was talking to
:44:52. > :44:58.me but I could feel in her voice she was trying to be strong. And was she
:44:59. > :45:02.able to recall lots of detail or was stuff coming back to her? Stuff is
:45:03. > :45:06.coming back to her. I didn't want to step too deep by saying, what
:45:07. > :45:09.actually happened. But she said she was drugged with ketamine and I
:45:10. > :45:15.think now memories are coming back to her slowly. Right. You will have
:45:16. > :45:19.heard that her lawyer talked today about the reason that she was seen
:45:20. > :45:24.shopping with the captor before she was freed was because he threatened
:45:25. > :45:29.her and said, you know, if you don't do what I say, you are at risk of
:45:30. > :45:33.losing your life, effectively. Did she talk about that? The first I
:45:34. > :45:37.knew of that was when I read last night or this morning, it's come out
:45:38. > :45:41.that she was seen shopping with him. That she did not mention to me. What
:45:42. > :45:45.do you think of what the lawyer said about that?
:45:46. > :45:49.I mean if you are under that circumstance where somebody is
:45:50. > :45:53.threatening your life, you are going to do whatever you're going to do to
:45:54. > :45:56.keep yourself safe. So I don't really want to comment. She was
:45:57. > :46:04.there. She was going through it at the time. You said she was strong on
:46:05. > :46:08.the phone to you on Sunday. I mean you've known her for five years. Is
:46:09. > :46:12.she strong? Is she wise? I wouldn't say she is the wisest of girls. She
:46:13. > :46:16.is be a little bit naive, she's young, but I think she has had three
:46:17. > :46:21.weeks to get used to this, so it happened a few weeks ago so she has
:46:22. > :46:25.been in Italy while this has been going on, for us this is new, but
:46:26. > :46:30.she had a few weeks to get used to it. I would say she is quite naive
:46:31. > :46:34.to get herself in that position. I will ask you more about that in a
:46:35. > :46:40.moment. Was she upset on the phone? Did she cry? She seemed upset and
:46:41. > :46:45.kept saying, "I'm all right." Because I was upset, that was my
:46:46. > :46:53.initial reaction. I am emotional. She was like don't cry. I'm OK. She
:46:54. > :46:58.was almost reassuring me and I wanted to reassure her. Did she
:46:59. > :47:02.explain why she stayed in Italy? She had to stay in Italy whilst the
:47:03. > :47:07.investigation was going on. She had to remain in the country. So you say
:47:08. > :47:13.she is not the wisest of the girls. She is naive. She is young. What do
:47:14. > :47:17.you know about the arrangement that she had made for this photo-shoot in
:47:18. > :47:22.Milan without naming names? I just know that she was sent to this
:47:23. > :47:28.photo-shoot via a male agent... In London? In London. That has got a
:47:29. > :47:33.bit of a reputation and I think she did tell me on Sunday that he found
:47:34. > :47:37.out that the studio was fake two days after she had gone missing and
:47:38. > :47:41.my argument on that as working in the industry if you can find that
:47:42. > :47:46.out after she is missing why could you not find it out before sending
:47:47. > :47:51.her because he was able to access that information that the studio was
:47:52. > :47:57.fake. We don't know if that's true. Who told you that? Chloe told me on
:47:58. > :48:01.Sunday that it was a fake set-up and the studio didn't exist. I think she
:48:02. > :48:07.believed she was going to a studio for a photo-shoot. She believed it?
:48:08. > :48:12.Yes. Understood. Again, without naming names, what mistakes did she
:48:13. > :48:15.make as a young glamour model, you know, getting involved in this
:48:16. > :48:20.photo-shoot because there are dos and don'ts, aren't there? I would
:48:21. > :48:24.say, the person that she has dealt with is, I would listen to advice
:48:25. > :48:29.from other girls and be aware and always have your guard up. I would
:48:30. > :48:33.never travel to a foreign country alone, not knowing where I'm going
:48:34. > :48:39.until that is like established that everything is legit and real. And in
:48:40. > :48:44.the glamour modelling world would you, is it all right for a male
:48:45. > :48:47.agent or a male photographer to arrange this kind of thing? It
:48:48. > :48:51.happens all the time. Does it? It happens all the time. Girls are
:48:52. > :48:55.desperate for fame. They believe anything, you know, come and do a
:48:56. > :49:01.shoot. Me being a little bit older and wiser, I would have someone
:49:02. > :49:06.beside me. When I used to model I would take somebody with me. I feel
:49:07. > :49:11.uncomfortable going to meet a male photographer in a location and doing
:49:12. > :49:15.a shoot. That's not my comfort zone. There are a number of people who
:49:16. > :49:22.think something about this story doesn't add up. That it feels a bit
:49:23. > :49:28.fishy. What would you say? That's such a hard one, Chloe being a
:49:29. > :49:33.friend of mine. I just think, Chloe is a good girl. A little bit naive.
:49:34. > :49:39.Could she be misled? I just don't want to say to be honest? She,
:49:40. > :49:43.obviously she has grown up to when I knew her from the beginning at 15.
:49:44. > :49:48.She is now a 20-year-old woman, but if anything happened like that, I
:49:49. > :49:51.would say she was misled. Did she always, because you first did a
:49:52. > :49:56.commercial shoot with her when she was 15. Did she always want to get
:49:57. > :50:00.into glamour modelling? At 15 I remember her saying I want to be a
:50:01. > :50:04.glamour model, but she had to wait until she was 18. It was always her
:50:05. > :50:08.goal. Now, she is doing. When you spoke to her on Sunday, she said to
:50:09. > :50:15.you that she was doing a shoot this week? I believe, again, from what
:50:16. > :50:19.she said, I believe she was doing a photo-shoot for page three because
:50:20. > :50:24.we were going to met up today. For a newspaper? For page three, I
:50:25. > :50:28.believe. Yes. Yes. What do you think of that? Each to their own, maybe it
:50:29. > :50:33.is her way of coping and to just get back out there. For me, I think that
:50:34. > :50:37.would be the last thing on her mind, but she has her reasons and maybe it
:50:38. > :50:41.is her way of dealing with happened to her to just get back out there
:50:42. > :50:47.and it is her way of coping. You run an agency now. You used to do
:50:48. > :50:51.glamour modelling yourself. Were you ever treated poorly? I can recall a
:50:52. > :50:55.situation where I did a photo-shoot with a male photographer, turning up
:50:56. > :50:59.at a location, didn't feel comfortable from the start and
:51:00. > :51:04.literally, just took my clothes off, I was wearing, and left all my stuff
:51:05. > :51:07.and ran. Tell me what made you feel uncomfortable? Just the way the
:51:08. > :51:12.photographer was acting. He wanted more and I knew it was fishy. It was
:51:13. > :51:15.just your instinct? It was my instinct to get out of here. This is
:51:16. > :51:21.not a good situation. When you say he wanted more, more revealing, more
:51:22. > :51:26.exposure? More exposure. OK. It is a competitive business. It is. All
:51:27. > :51:29.modelling is. And as you said, people are ambitious. Young women
:51:30. > :51:34.are ambitious and desperate to get on and get ahead of their rivals,
:51:35. > :51:39.but you've got to take care, haven't you? You have got to take care.
:51:40. > :51:43.Safety is first. Nothing is worth risking your life for, no fame,
:51:44. > :51:49.money, safety is number one. Is there any regulation? Presumably
:51:50. > :51:54.anyone can set up and be an agent? Anyone can set up and be an agent.
:51:55. > :51:58.Photographer? Anyone can hide behind a screen. It is the same with dating
:51:59. > :52:02.websites and social media, I blame, you don't know who is behind that
:52:03. > :52:07.screen. You can set-up tomorrow and say you are a photographer, come to
:52:08. > :52:11.my place, do a shoot, take pictures and look professional. So how would
:52:12. > :52:14.you check that out? I do my research, constant research and if I
:52:15. > :52:18.had any doubt I would go with my model. Even if it meant flying ot of
:52:19. > :52:26.the country, I would go with them. You would accompany them? Or send
:52:27. > :52:33.somebody to chaperone them. Thank you, Carla.
:52:34. > :52:36.Carla is a close friend of Chloe Ayling. Talking about what she says
:52:37. > :52:40.Chloe Ayling experienced. Next, a shoplifter in Toronto
:52:41. > :52:43.who was caught stealing an outfit for a job interview was given
:52:44. > :52:46.a second chance by the police Constable Niran Jeyanesan was sent
:52:47. > :52:49.to Walmart to apprehend the 18-year-old for attempting
:52:50. > :52:52.to steal a shirt, tie and socks. When he arrived, he realised
:52:53. > :52:54.the offender had been stealing So he released him and
:52:55. > :53:07.bought him the clothes. We received a call for theft under
:53:08. > :53:13.where an individual was placed under arrest by a Wal-Mart loss prevention
:53:14. > :53:21.officer. My partner and I responded and we got to meet the individual
:53:22. > :53:25.who was under arrest. He had stolen some items from Wal-Mart. After
:53:26. > :53:31.having a conversation with him, it came to light that he had stolen it,
:53:32. > :53:37.he has taken the items because he had a job interview. The items that
:53:38. > :53:42.he had taken were a dress shirt and a tie and he had a job interview on
:53:43. > :53:48.Tuesday with the service industry and this young person has been
:53:49. > :53:52.facing his own difficulty in life. He was looking to straighten all
:53:53. > :53:59.that by providing for his family and trying to get in a job and that came
:54:00. > :54:06.to light. When we proceeded with the arrest later on, I found out that
:54:07. > :54:11.this person was actually looking for that job interview and we, I went
:54:12. > :54:15.and got the shirt and the tie for this individual and after when he
:54:16. > :54:18.was released it was given back to him so he can attend that job
:54:19. > :54:22.interview. So you bought the shirt and tie for him and he had stolen it
:54:23. > :54:29.because he had no way of purchasing it on his own. He is a young guy. He
:54:30. > :54:35.is 18 years old. Why did you feel so compelled? That's correct. Not every
:54:36. > :54:41.day that people do things for wrong reasons. This individual didn't have
:54:42. > :54:46.any resources to go about how he went about it and he stole those
:54:47. > :54:51.items because he wanted a second chance in life and definitely not as
:54:52. > :54:54.a police officer we weren't going to stand between him and his second
:54:55. > :54:59.chance. He doesn't know you did this for him? No, not at that moment, no.
:55:00. > :55:03.Some people at home will say if he wanted a second chance, why was he
:55:04. > :55:08.stealing? What do you say to that? Having a conversation with him, he
:55:09. > :55:14.did not have any resources, anywhere to go, anywhere to go, to go about
:55:15. > :55:18.this. I think he really wanted to attend that interview and I don't
:55:19. > :55:21.think he knew how else to go about this. OK.
:55:22. > :55:24.Constable Niran Jeyanesan's boss has praised his actions saying
:55:25. > :55:27.arresting him wouldn't be in the interests of anyone
:55:28. > :55:29.and that it reiterates their goal of being positive role models
:55:30. > :55:42.Comments on Tasering under-18s. There are calls that the police in
:55:43. > :55:46.this country shouldn't be able to Taser under-18s. This texter, "I
:55:47. > :55:51.volunteered to be tasered at a show in the USA. It immediately
:55:52. > :55:56.incapacitated me, but did it hurt? No. Would I do it again? Absolutely
:55:57. > :56:01.yes. It is an excellent tactical weapon." Colin says, "We can't chase
:56:02. > :56:05.kids on mopeds or search them for knives. Why not ban the Taser and
:56:06. > :56:10.further extend their freedom to be lawless." Daniel, "What will police
:56:11. > :56:16.do regarding using Tasers on under-18s? Before I used this Taser
:56:17. > :56:23.on you, how old are you?" Another viewer says, "The same kids that
:56:24. > :56:29.commit murders and robberies." PG, "How about under-18s not doing
:56:30. > :56:33.anything to warrant Taser?" Kevin says, "Some 14-year-olds don't look
:56:34. > :56:39.14. How do police know how old they are?" A viewer says, "Public
:56:40. > :56:43.confidence will be lost if Tasers are misused and their use isn't
:56:44. > :56:49.properly scrutinised. We need video evidence. No second firing and no
:56:50. > :56:52.use on under-18s." The news and sport son the way.
:56:53. > :56:56.Before that, here is the weather from Simon.
:56:57. > :57:03.Don't you just love the British Summer Time.
:57:04. > :57:09.There is some sunshine out there to be found. In South Wales, some sunny
:57:10. > :57:12.spells here. Also a bit of sunshine towards Scotland and Northern
:57:13. > :57:16.Ireland. You can see here, but the rainfall is quite heavy at the
:57:17. > :57:21.moment across the Midlands particularly so towards Lincolnshire
:57:22. > :57:25.where in Lincolnshire itself it's wellies that are the order of the
:57:26. > :57:29.day. The rainfall will last for much of the day as well. It is associated
:57:30. > :57:32.with this weather front here, bringing that area of rain and some
:57:33. > :57:36.heavy and thundery showers developing across East Anglia and
:57:37. > :57:41.the South East of England. Further north and west, looking dry and
:57:42. > :57:43.bright. But for this afternoon, heavy and thundery showers expected
:57:44. > :57:49.in parts of south-west England through parts of Wales as well.
:57:50. > :57:53.Particularly so fort south-east of England. Feeling cool here as well.
:57:54. > :57:58.Temperatures only 13 Celsius in Hull. For north-west England and the
:57:59. > :58:01.far north of north-east England, something drier and one or two
:58:02. > :58:04.showers, but sunny spells. Sunny spells and scattered showers
:58:05. > :58:07.expected for both Scotland and Northern Ireland where temperatures
:58:08. > :58:11.will be about 15 Celsius or 16 Celsius. Through this evening, those
:58:12. > :58:15.heavy showers will continue giving a lot of rainfall in a short space of
:58:16. > :58:19.time. A bit of localised flooding and the rain will continue into the
:58:20. > :58:21.night as well. Large rainfall totals building up across parts of
:58:22. > :58:24.Lincolnshire and the Midlands. Further north of Scotland and
:58:25. > :58:28.Northern Ireland, clear skies here. It could get chilly into the first
:58:29. > :58:30.part of Wednesday morning. But during Wednesday, we have got this
:58:31. > :58:35.weather front which is still with us. But look behind me, this area of
:58:36. > :58:39.high pressure is starting to move in. It's a ridge. It's going to
:58:40. > :58:42.improve things for Scotland and for Northern Ireland, northern parts of
:58:43. > :58:47.England and Wales. Some dry, bright weather for much of Wednesday, but
:58:48. > :58:51.it stays very wet in the South East corner except perhaps around Kent
:58:52. > :58:54.and east Sussexment here we could see a few heavy and thundery
:58:55. > :58:59.showers, but still wet in the South East corner. Maximum temperatures
:59:00. > :59:03.17, 18 Celsius. For Thursday, still starting off with a bit of rain in
:59:04. > :59:07.the South East, but otherwise, that high pressure, that ridge of high
:59:08. > :59:10.pressure is with us. So things looking more settled and plenty of
:59:11. > :59:13.fine and dry weather across the bulk of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
:59:14. > :59:16.There is that ridge of high pressure. You can see it is now
:59:17. > :59:19.starting to it is appear as we go into Friday. Another system of
:59:20. > :59:23.weather fronts moves in throughout the day of the that's going to bring
:59:24. > :59:27.more rain as we go throughout the day. Showeriout breaks of rain
:59:28. > :59:30.towards the south and the east, but there will be sunshine initially,
:59:31. > :59:34.but maximum temperatures about 16 to 20 Celsius. A bit more in the way of
:59:35. > :59:37.brighter skies and sunshine breaking through in the far north-west as the
:59:38. > :59:50.rain clears its way south-east wards. Bye-bye.

:09:27. > :09:29.and if they didn't think that women should be going for screening,

:09:52. > :09:58.it was about women losing their virginities by having
:09:59. > :10:01.the smear test, and then again not It's hard to say just how
:10:02. > :10:06.serious the problem is, because very little information has

:10:12. > :10:17.women with breast cancer have poorer survival,
:10:18. > :10:22.and they're more likely to present with advanced tumours

:11:04. > :11:04.you know, rotten breast, and it was smelling so much that
:11:05. > :11:08.you couldn't even sit next to it. I don't know how long
:11:09. > :11:11.she was hiding that. She was a young lady
:11:12. > :11:31.with young children, you know, but because she couldn't share
:11:32. > :11:32.that with anyone. And how often do you hear that women
:11:33. > :11:36.feel like they can't share it Let's talk now with Madhu Agarwal,
:11:37. > :11:43.NHS cancer support manager and chair of Cancer Equality,
:11:44. > :11:46.Iyna Butt who kept her breast cancer diagnosis hidden from some
:11:47. > :12:02.of her family and Sadia Habib Welcome all of you. Inya, you were
:12:03. > :12:11.diagnosed in 2015 aged 30 and they found a lump as big as a golf ball.
:12:12. > :12:15.What did you say to your family? I think the first thought that came to
:12:16. > :12:23.my mind when the oncololgist said you have cancer was how do I tell my
:12:24. > :12:29.parents. My husband was with me. I never thought about anything else
:12:30. > :12:35.other than, why couldn't I tell my parents. What was in your mind then?
:12:36. > :12:40.I think because I had my own child and the thought of telling my
:12:41. > :12:44.parents that their child has got cancer and when you hear the word
:12:45. > :12:48.cancer, you imagine death. There's nothing else that you think of. To
:12:49. > :12:51.have to think of the worst scenario, to have to tell my parents was
:12:52. > :12:57.horrible. I didn't want to do it. No. But there might be a number of
:12:58. > :13:03.people who could relate to that, you don't want to tell your parents
:13:04. > :13:07.because you don't want to mention dying, but what about the South
:13:08. > :13:11.Asian community? They don't talk about it, it's not the norm to talk
:13:12. > :13:15.about cancer, especially when I was told I had breast cancer, to say the
:13:16. > :13:20.word breast isn't normal in the Asian community. You can't even say
:13:21. > :13:25.the word, let alone checking your breasts? Far from it. Why? I think a
:13:26. > :13:30.woman's part within an Asian community, her role is so heavy,
:13:31. > :13:34.you're a mother, a daughter, a daughter-in-law, a wife. You're
:13:35. > :13:40.there to protect everybody, so when you get told you've got cancer, you
:13:41. > :13:44.are in that weak position where you can't afford to be in. You need to
:13:45. > :13:47.lift up the family and support them, not the other way around. I think
:13:48. > :13:51.there is a lot of burden Asian women carry within the community. What
:13:52. > :13:57.kind of things did family members say to you when you told them? Oh,
:13:58. > :14:03.God, I heard all sorts. Some I heard during my treatment, some I heard
:14:04. > :14:07.after that my family told me, things they'd heard from people, things
:14:08. > :14:10.like wear a black bra and it will make the cancer going away. I heard
:14:11. > :14:15.things like, you must have done something wrong in your life and you
:14:16. > :14:19.have been opinion Nished by God, pray more, do more by religion and
:14:20. > :14:24.it's a punishment. I heard things like, don't have the treatment done,
:14:25. > :14:40.just pray and you will be fine, you don't need to go ahead -- you're
:14:41. > :14:45.being punished by God. Madhu we heard you talk about a patient who
:14:46. > :14:50.let her breast rotten before she sought treatment. That is
:14:51. > :14:54.unbelievably distressing and very sad? It's a horrifying experience.
:14:55. > :15:00.She would have been alive if she'd gone to the GP at the right time.
:15:01. > :15:03.The problem is, we, when we talk about breast awareness, we only
:15:04. > :15:06.think about a lump in the body. That's not true. There are other
:15:07. > :15:15.symptoms you need to look out for too. That is what is important. A
:15:16. > :15:19.lump is one of them, the other is, you take the screening, the
:15:20. > :15:23.mammogram and that shows up the abnormalities. What would stop a
:15:24. > :15:30.British Asian woman going for a mammogram?
:15:31. > :15:35.Raez Another family member might have opened the letter. How are they
:15:36. > :15:41.going to tell the family that this is where they are going? It could be
:15:42. > :15:45.job related. They might not be in a permanent job. There are multiple
:15:46. > :15:51.issues. You cannot say this is the prime reason. What's the job got to
:15:52. > :16:00.do with going for a mammogram? They can't lose the money. They are not
:16:01. > :16:04.able to work. OK. What is the message that you need to get out to
:16:05. > :16:10.people because of the barriers that are erected for some women in the
:16:11. > :16:14.South Asian community in Britain? We need to encourage women to
:16:15. > :16:19.particularly go for their screenings as well. So their breast or cervical
:16:20. > :16:28.or smear test as they're known and we need to be working on the ground
:16:29. > :16:32.at grass root level to dispel some of the myths and beliefsment I can
:16:33. > :16:38.say that I have come across anecdotal evidence that reflects
:16:39. > :16:42.what your guests are saying. There is a lot of stigma attached to
:16:43. > :16:45.cancer. The cancer word isn't mentioned. In some cases I heard
:16:46. > :16:51.that the community thinks it is contagious or that you can catch it
:16:52. > :16:56.and also you know that you may have sinned in your life which is the
:16:57. > :17:00.reason why you're being punished. And the multiple roles that South
:17:01. > :17:04.Asian women plays within our home. She is the backbone of our family.
:17:05. > :17:09.For that reason, sometimes it is the fear factor. What if it is cancer,
:17:10. > :17:18.if I have a symptom or I go for my smear test, what if they find
:17:19. > :17:21.abnormalities. If you don't seek help or don't check your breasts
:17:22. > :17:26.then you may end up dying so you will be no use to your family after
:17:27. > :17:30.all anyway? That's what we are trying to reinforce. Early detection
:17:31. > :17:34.and prevention is important in cancer. This common belief within
:17:35. > :17:39.the South Asian communities that cancer means death, you know f
:17:40. > :17:42.somebody is not going for their cervical screening and potentially
:17:43. > :17:48.if there are abnormal cells they can go on to develop cervical cancer.
:17:49. > :17:53.That would be in most cases diagnosed at a late stage if they
:17:54. > :17:57.have not been going for their smears which means a poor prognosis, a poor
:17:58. > :18:03.outcome leading to losing their lives and it almost becomes a self
:18:04. > :18:09.fulfilling prophecy within the community when somebody passes away
:18:10. > :18:13.from cancer that cancer means death. It becomes a vicious circle where
:18:14. > :18:17.fear becomes more widespread and a denial of talking about cancer. It's
:18:18. > :18:21.quite rife within the South Asian communities.
:18:22. > :18:27.Cancer does mean death for some of us. But half of us will survive.
:18:28. > :18:31.Those are the facts. Scottie on Facebook says for example, "This is
:18:32. > :18:38.ignorance rather than citying marred." I would probably say that,
:18:39. > :18:43.I mean, we do have cases where women are in denial as well. We know that
:18:44. > :18:46.they are probably well educated and they do know about the importance of
:18:47. > :18:52.going for their screenings and what it can mean if they don't, but it's
:18:53. > :18:56.about trying to tackle the fear that's inside them and it's a
:18:57. > :19:01.multiple number of reasons as well. We have women for example who are
:19:02. > :19:04.very well educated on HPV and its link to cervical cancer. I have come
:19:05. > :19:10.across a lady who knows everything about it. Is a fray frayed to go for
:19:11. > :19:15.a smear and one of the reasons, the main reason for her in the past she
:19:16. > :19:18.was sexually abused and as a result, that acted as a barrier for her to
:19:19. > :19:22.come forward because it's hardly talked about even within the South
:19:23. > :19:26.Asian community, she had not talked about it to anybody at all. So, it's
:19:27. > :19:31.about trying to tackle some of those fears that exists out there for a
:19:32. > :19:38.until of reasons. Briefly, finally, how are you now? I'm very well. I
:19:39. > :19:42.have injections on a monthly basis which is quite difficult, but I'm on
:19:43. > :19:48.the mend. Good. That's really good to hear. Thank you. Thank you all of
:19:49. > :19:50.you very much. Thank you. You can read more about that story
:19:51. > :19:53.on the BBC News site. He was hailed a hero after stopping
:19:54. > :19:56.a worldwide cyber attack that affected the NHS,
:19:57. > :19:59.but now Marcus Hutchins has been charged for creating
:20:00. > :20:00.a separate cyber attack. We'll speak to an expert
:20:01. > :20:03.who has worked with Mr The 17-year old girl whose case
:20:04. > :20:10.prompted a senior judge to say the state would have "blood
:20:11. > :20:12.on its hands" if suitable mental health provision was not found,
:20:13. > :20:15.will be moved to a psychiatric She had been scheduled to be sent
:20:16. > :20:20.back into a community setting because of a shortage of beds,
:20:21. > :20:22.but she has made several Simon Rowbotham has been
:20:23. > :20:37.appointed by the court So you are independent looking at
:20:38. > :20:44.the best interests for girl X. Thank you very much for talking to us. How
:20:45. > :20:48.did this case end up in the courts? Well, the history of the case is
:20:49. > :20:54.quite long. It started off as a child protection matter. There was a
:20:55. > :20:58.big hearing last year when X had to be placed in Scotland because there
:20:59. > :21:02.were no secure beds available in England or Wales. Then it has come
:21:03. > :21:05.back to court twice this year because she now needs a clinical
:21:06. > :21:10.setting and there wasn't a bed for her. So it's quite a complicated
:21:11. > :21:14.case and it's a long case and it's a pretty sad one as well. She has been
:21:15. > :21:19.in this secure unit, I wonder if you can describe that for our audience?
:21:20. > :21:25.So just to be clear, she was in a secure unit. She is now in a secure
:21:26. > :21:28.unit that is actually part of a criminal sentence that she is under
:21:29. > :21:35.detention and training order. At the moment, and she tends to be quite
:21:36. > :21:38.isolated. I would urge people to always read judgments, but
:21:39. > :21:42.particularly the June judgment because at the end the judge took
:21:43. > :21:46.the time to set out in a lot of detail what the arrangements are at
:21:47. > :21:49.the moment, but it is a bedroom with a mattress that's been stripped
:21:50. > :21:54.away. She doesn't have any personal items. There is no carpets and that
:21:55. > :21:59.is all because at the moment any items that she has, she tries to
:22:00. > :22:08.harm herself or kill herself with. OK. And what are her needs? We don't
:22:09. > :22:12.know. At the moment, at the moment the needs that we're trying to
:22:13. > :22:15.address are the day-to-day needs of stopping her harming herself and
:22:16. > :22:19.that involves all the measures that I've just discussed, it involves
:22:20. > :22:22.restraint. The reason she needs the clinical setting is so that we can
:22:23. > :22:26.find out what she needs. We don't know why she is trying to harm
:22:27. > :22:30.herself. We don't know why she has expressed a wish to kill herself. We
:22:31. > :22:33.need to get it into the clinical setting to start those assessments
:22:34. > :22:37.and once those assessments are completed hopefully we will have a
:22:38. > :22:42.better idea of what X's needs are and what treatment she needs moving
:22:43. > :22:46.forward. Right. And I wonder if the judge hadn't spoken out and spoken
:22:47. > :22:53.out in these terms, you know, State could have blood on its hands, would
:22:54. > :23:00.Girl X have remained in a non clinical setting? Well, it's
:23:01. > :23:05.difficult to say. Certainly, it has helped. We don't know is the
:23:06. > :23:09.reality, but I know that the judge in his judgment yesterday expressed
:23:10. > :23:14.some pessimism that we have A, got the result as quickly as we got, or
:23:15. > :23:18.B, got it to the full extent that we've got. It's a sorry state of
:23:19. > :23:23.affairs that we asked and asked and that clinicians on the ground were
:23:24. > :23:27.clear as to what X needed and it has taken this to get it. The evidence
:23:28. > :23:31.at the moment would have suggested that had it not had the public
:23:32. > :23:35.interest that it has had and had the judge A, not been the most important
:23:36. > :23:39.family judge in the country and B, had such a widely published
:23:40. > :23:43.judgment, had none of that happened, we don't know where we would have
:23:44. > :23:47.been. But the reality is on 14th August, next Monday, she has to
:23:48. > :23:50.leave the placement and time is running tight and I mean this is
:23:51. > :23:54.right up to the wire and it didn't need to be. The fear was that she
:23:55. > :24:03.might attempt to take her life again? That's right. If she doesn't
:24:04. > :24:06.have the right care around her and that care is stopping her taking her
:24:07. > :24:09.life. If she didn't have that care, there is a very high risk that she
:24:10. > :24:12.would have done and the only reason she won't z wouldn't have that care
:24:13. > :24:16.is because the resources aren't there. It is from that prospective,
:24:17. > :24:21.it is my understanding, that it is why the judge made the comments they
:24:22. > :24:24.did, we as society, everybody must take responsibility for what we are
:24:25. > :24:27.willing to fund and what we are not willing to fund and if she killed
:24:28. > :24:31.herself it would have been because of lack of resources and we would
:24:32. > :24:43.have had blood on our hands to use the judge's words.
:24:44. > :24:46.This morning, in an exclusive interview, the parents of two young
:24:47. > :24:48.charity volunteers who died after being swept out to sea tell
:24:49. > :24:50.this programme they're taking legal action against the charity
:24:51. > :24:53.19-year-old Alice Barnett and 21-year-old Summer Robertson
:24:54. > :24:55.died when they were overpowered by fierce currents off
:24:56. > :25:00.They were enjoying the last few days of a ten week charity placement
:25:01. > :25:06.working with deprived young people in a South African township.
:25:07. > :25:10.This morning both families have agreed to talk to you in their first
:25:11. > :25:11.television interview together about what happened
:25:12. > :25:20.to their daughters and why they've come to this decision.
:25:21. > :25:22.Let's talk to Alice's mum Suzie Barnett and her dad
:25:23. > :25:30.Pete Gallagher and Summer's mum and dad Sarah and John Robertson.
:25:31. > :25:37.Thank you very much for coming on our programme. I wonder if I could
:25:38. > :25:43.ask you first of all to talk to our audience about your daughters. I
:25:44. > :25:49.don't mind who goes first. Summer was a typical 21-year-old daughter.
:25:50. > :25:51.She had heard an advert for this charity expedition to South Africa.
:25:52. > :25:56.She had never done anything like that before and decided that it was
:25:57. > :25:59.something she'd like to do. She took ten weeks unpaid leave from her job
:26:00. > :26:03.to go and do this and it is not something you could just turn up and
:26:04. > :26:06.do, they had to raise X amount of pounds themselves to show their
:26:07. > :26:11.commitment that they wanted to go and do it and this was her first
:26:12. > :26:19.one. How would you describe her? Summer was a bundle of fun. She was
:26:20. > :26:24.full of laughter and it is her laughter that we miss most. She was
:26:25. > :26:32.the heartbeat of our family and it made a humongous dent. How would you
:26:33. > :26:44.describe Alice? A force to be reckoned with. Six foot tall. Bright
:26:45. > :26:50.red hair. Incredibly thoughtful. Well-informed and opinionated and
:26:51. > :26:53.really an amazing sense of what was right and what was wrong and if she
:26:54. > :27:00.thought something was wrong, she would do something about it, but not
:27:01. > :27:07.sort of go in blindly. If you questioned her on anything, she
:27:08. > :27:14.always had an answer and so, she felt very strongly about Animal
:27:15. > :27:25.Rights campaigns, Human Rights, you know, she had a deeply profound
:27:26. > :27:31.sense of love and compassion for everything from a butterfly to an
:27:32. > :27:38.elephant to a person, you know, to her, these were all lives, precious.
:27:39. > :27:43.Real strong sense of how sacred and precious life is. Was that Port of
:27:44. > :27:51.Her motivation for this volunteering? Yes, absolutely. Every
:27:52. > :27:55.single word is spot on. She was the finest example of a human being I've
:27:56. > :27:59.ever met in my life. I was so proud that she was our daughter. She
:28:00. > :28:04.wanted to help. Wherever she went, she wanted to help. She would be
:28:05. > :28:06.quite happy to admit that she hadn't decided what she wanted to do with
:28:07. > :28:10.the rest of her life, but she was able to sit down and say, "If I can
:28:11. > :28:16.do something now that changes anything from a community to the
:28:17. > :28:21.world, why wouldn't I do that? I've got 80, 90 years to decide what to
:28:22. > :28:24.do with the rest of my life." We backed her all the way. She did a
:28:25. > :28:27.placement in Cambodia the year before and helped a school out
:28:28. > :28:33.there, who are still feeling the benefits of that and the following
:28:34. > :28:36.year decided to go to South Africa. Again with Summer, this was
:28:37. > :28:43.something she worked hard for herself. You know there, was a
:28:44. > :28:47.project that she found that financially was something she could
:28:48. > :28:52.achieve by herself. Work hard. Raise money. Raise wareness for the
:28:53. > :28:58.project they were going out to support and she felt very strongly
:28:59. > :29:03.about these sort of gap year programmes that cost a fortune and
:29:04. > :29:08.really are glorified holidays and then you do a few days of something,
:29:09. > :29:11.you know, building a wall that possibly will fall down the
:29:12. > :29:15.following week. That wasn't the route she wanted to take. She saw
:29:16. > :29:19.through all that and she thought this genuinely is a well
:29:20. > :29:23.established, well supported project that absolutely know what they're
:29:24. > :29:29.doing and that was why she was drawn to this project in particular.
:29:30. > :29:36.Sarah, on, when did you discover that they had been in the sea on the
:29:37. > :29:42.evening of 4th December 2014 and that they had been... When we had
:29:43. > :29:47.the knock on the door at 11.30 by two police officers. Going into that
:29:48. > :29:50.sea wasn't even on their list of itinerary that they were supposed to
:29:51. > :29:54.be doing. It was a last minute switch by that company. We still
:29:55. > :29:57.don't know why. We didn't know they were at the coast until we had the
:29:58. > :30:03.knock on the door. Summer was missed. They came at 11.30, Summer
:30:04. > :30:08.was missing at sea. Why is she missing at sea? Was she on a boat
:30:09. > :30:13.trip? Within 15 minutes. Summer had been found. Summer was discovered on
:30:14. > :30:19.the beach and then all hell broke loose. Just total confusion. And
:30:20. > :30:24.what we know is that five people waded into the sea that evening. An
:30:25. > :30:37.area of ocean where there was a rip current and the coroner found that
:30:38. > :30:40.although the charity, Lattitude had done a safety check, they were
:30:41. > :30:47.unaware of the risk it could pose and that's really important, I
:30:48. > :30:57.think, for you to get across to people that this can take you?
:30:58. > :31:03.It's really important, the project the girls were working on was in a
:31:04. > :31:08.township in South Africa by the sea. For ten weeks they were in a
:31:09. > :31:14.township, then they were taken by the charity to this remote beach
:31:15. > :31:20.location in South Africa. For a debrief wasn't it? Yes, at the end
:31:21. > :31:25.of their placement. So it wasn't, you can go off and do whatever you
:31:26. > :31:30.want, this was, for some reason, changed from somewhere that they had
:31:31. > :31:34.been for their orienteering programme right at the beginning of
:31:35. > :31:38.the project. It was then changed to this remote beach location where
:31:39. > :31:46.there was literally the hostel and the beach. That was it. There was a
:31:47. > :31:52.generic risk assessment for South Africa and within it were contained
:31:53. > :31:57.certain guidelines. However, moving to a new location, there wasn't a
:31:58. > :32:01.new risk assessment done. There was no re-enforcement even of the
:32:02. > :32:06.guidelines, the basic guidelines that were in the initial risk
:32:07. > :32:13.assessment about beach safety bearing in mind you are taking these
:32:14. > :32:18.young people now to the beach for four days, and the promises they
:32:19. > :32:21.made about these risk assessments being safe, taking local advice,
:32:22. > :32:28.having people on the ground who knew the area and the location, they were
:32:29. > :32:35.specialists in this field, either they weren't specialists, as they
:32:36. > :32:38.claimed or there was a breakdown in communication because this vital
:32:39. > :32:41.information was not passed on to the volunteers.
:32:42. > :32:45.In fact, to be quite precise, what they said was, we'll always do all
:32:46. > :32:50.the research necessary, including talking to the local communities.
:32:51. > :32:53.When anyone else has asked the local members of the community in this
:32:54. > :32:57.area would you go near the sea, the response is, they laugh at you.
:32:58. > :32:59.Because they are absolutely aware of the current. No-one would go
:33:00. > :33:05.anywhere near it. The Department for International
:33:06. > :33:22.Development told us, The guidelines have changed now as a
:33:23. > :33:27.result of what happened to your daughters, and people have to wear
:33:28. > :33:31.life jackets. The rules were already in place, that you didn't use
:33:32. > :33:38.unsupervised beaches, that's where they took them. Very specifically
:33:39. > :33:44.don't swim in unsupervised locations, in dawn and dusk and seek
:33:45. > :33:47.local advice was in the guidelines but it wasn't communicated to the
:33:48. > :33:54.volunteers. Also the country manager was the one who took them with him
:33:55. > :34:00.into the sea. The person who showed them... We don't know specifically
:34:01. > :34:05.he did that, he definitely Waded in to the sea, he was one of the five?
:34:06. > :34:14.He was the first one in. That's documented on the inquest. VSO chair
:34:15. > :34:20.of trustees, statement: The loss of the two young lives was a terrible
:34:21. > :34:24.tragedy and the grief suffered by their families must be unimaginable.
:34:25. > :34:27.We are committed to enshiring they have a full and accurate
:34:28. > :34:32.understanding of what happened in this terribly sad situation. The
:34:33. > :34:37.investigation's been investigated by the coroner. This is the subject of
:34:38. > :34:42.a legal claim so we are unable to comment further. Can I just correct
:34:43. > :34:46.you. That is from Latitude, I beg your pardon. And that's very
:34:47. > :34:51.important. That is why there is no further comment, I do apologise. Can
:34:52. > :34:57.you explain to our audience why you are taking legal action against the
:34:58. > :35:01.hairty? It's the only route we have got available to us to try to bring
:35:02. > :35:05.them to accept that they made mistakes. They've never apologised
:35:06. > :35:09.for anything. They've not even said sorry. They will not accept any
:35:10. > :35:13.responsibility. They still believe they've done absolutely nothing
:35:14. > :35:19.wrong. And we have tried every other way. This really is the last resort
:35:20. > :35:23.for us. We have spoken to the Health and Safety Executive, the Charity
:35:24. > :35:30.Commission, to our MPs, we have spoken to DFID and tried everything.
:35:31. > :35:34.We have tried to talk to them, to Latitude as well, quite early on
:35:35. > :35:39.when we started questioning things they were telling us about, you
:35:40. > :35:43.know, we were told it was a freak wave and Pete was contacted by
:35:44. > :35:48.somebody from Belgium on Twitter who'd read about it in the paper and
:35:49. > :35:53.said, you know, sent his condolences and said I'm sorry to have to tell
:35:54. > :35:57.you I don't think it was a freak wave, I think it was a rip current
:35:58. > :36:00.because he was caught in one with his brother four years previously
:36:01. > :36:05.and his brother died. That is when we started to question, hang on a
:36:06. > :36:10.minute, Latitude, we think it was a rip current, did you know about
:36:11. > :36:14.them. They said no, we had no idea, didn't know about this. The more we
:36:15. > :36:19.questioned and asked for evidence of this, that and the other, the more
:36:20. > :36:23.questions we had and we wanted to speak to the manager asking what
:36:24. > :36:26.went wrong, what happened. We weren't setting ourselves up against
:36:27. > :36:30.them, we wanted to work with them but the more we questioned them, the
:36:31. > :36:36.more they shut their doors to us. What do you hope this legal action
:36:37. > :36:42.will achieve? Well, I think it's very, very important to say that for
:36:43. > :36:45.two-and-a-half years, we've tried every single avenue possible to
:36:46. > :36:51.reach any form of resolution. We never wanted to take any legal
:36:52. > :36:54.action at all. The only reason we agreed to, I suppose ironically in
:36:55. > :36:58.some people's eyes, is because we were told there's not a chance of
:36:59. > :37:03.any financial compensation. As soon as we knew that, and we knew that we
:37:04. > :37:06.couldn't possibly be seen as people who're looking to gain something
:37:07. > :37:12.except for the good of the cause, we agreed to go ahead. We cannot win
:37:13. > :37:17.anything financially. So that has swayed our opinion. There's got to
:37:18. > :37:21.be a point where the company who still to this day won't communicate
:37:22. > :37:25.properly with us, who still to this day, Suzie and Sarah went in for a
:37:26. > :37:28.meeting with the board of directors who didn't know the facts, they
:37:29. > :37:33.didn't know the information of the case and I'm really sorry, my
:37:34. > :37:37.daughter died, I want you to know every single detail and when you
:37:38. > :37:42.meet the two mothers, I want you to be able to talk with some form of
:37:43. > :37:45.knowledge that allows them to know that you've done your work too. So
:37:46. > :37:49.to actually have to go through all of these stages and to come out at
:37:50. > :37:53.the other end with a company saying, we really don't think we did
:37:54. > :37:58.anything wrong, it was all in place, well, it wasn't. The coroner's
:37:59. > :38:02.report says it wasn't. The independent report says it wasn't.
:38:03. > :38:06.They are both public documents. I would urge people toe read those
:38:07. > :38:11.documents. We are not making any of this up, we are not exaggerating.
:38:12. > :38:16.The fact of the matter is, they have never, ever said sorry, they have
:38:17. > :38:20.never accepted any accountability whatsoever and if you can get by the
:38:21. > :38:26.paperwork in the first case, why can't you get by that paperwork in
:38:27. > :38:30.every other case? So, as was brought up earlier, which is a great for
:38:31. > :38:34.instance, we are come up time and time again against, well I'm ever so
:38:35. > :38:37.sorry, I know you have got a strong point but this happened in South
:38:38. > :38:42.Africa it's out of our jurisdiction, so what's the point of having health
:38:43. > :38:46.and safety rules and regulations, having a dirty great big government
:38:47. > :38:49.stamp on the front of your company's document, we are supported by the
:38:50. > :38:52.government and then none of those things mean anything because it's
:38:53. > :38:56.out of our jurisdiction. It's nothing to do with the South African
:38:57. > :39:02.government and, apparently it's nothing to do with our guys either.
:39:03. > :39:09.I think it's worth saying that six months or so after it happened, VSO,
:39:10. > :39:13.the parent company, they got a new CEO and that gentleman, from day
:39:14. > :39:16.one, has said, what on earth is going on here, we need to get these
:39:17. > :39:22.four people in and sort everything out with them and he's been
:39:23. > :39:28.absolutely brilliant. He's remoll Edded everything for us. Phillip
:39:29. > :39:32.GoodWynn says we are profoundly sorry that Alice and Summer died. We
:39:33. > :39:35.can't begin to imagine what the last three years have been like for the
:39:36. > :39:40.family and friends. We recognise that we could have worked with the
:39:41. > :39:42.parents more constructively in the months immediately following this
:39:43. > :39:46.accident. We have stayed in close touch with them and we'll always be
:39:47. > :39:51.available to them. Latitude is no longer a participant in the ICS
:39:52. > :39:54.programme, ICS being the international citizenship service
:39:55. > :39:59.programme. And again just to clarify that
:40:00. > :40:04.point, the reason that Latitude's contract was terminated with the
:40:05. > :40:08.VCO-ICS programme was as a direct result of what happened. Again, that
:40:09. > :40:15.is something that Latitude push back on. OK. Phillip GoodWynn changed his
:40:16. > :40:22.statement and added that in. It's a fact, it's not... So, you know...
:40:23. > :40:26.Latitude say they weren't fired. Latitude have said nothing has been
:40:27. > :40:31.their fault from day one, including not apologising for everything. I
:40:32. > :40:38.would just like to say that from day one, when the incident happened, I
:40:39. > :40:41.mean we were told we wanted to go out straightaway out there and they
:40:42. > :40:44.told us there was no point us travelling to South Africa because
:40:45. > :40:51.you will not be allowed to see your daughter. You will not see her. End
:40:52. > :40:56.of. We haven't. We have never seen them. By the time they came back to
:40:57. > :41:01.this country... You were told don't see them? We were told don't see
:41:02. > :41:06.them. I'm really sorry. The point about the paperwork, the point about
:41:07. > :41:11.the Latitude response to the coroner's recommendations, I mean we
:41:12. > :41:14.had to fight to get that verdict, to get a narrative verdict because it
:41:15. > :41:20.was going to be open-and-shut accident, that's it. It wasn't until
:41:21. > :41:25.we started investigating that we thought, there's more to this than
:41:26. > :41:30.the information we are being told. So we had to do the investigation
:41:31. > :41:35.ourselves and ask volunteers what's happened. We have never been allowed
:41:36. > :41:37.to communicate with the in-country manager who was responsible for
:41:38. > :41:43.health and safety and who took them into the sea. We have never been
:41:44. > :41:46.allowed to communicate with him because Latitude told us he was
:41:47. > :41:52.traumatised, then he was back at work. Then we had a meeting a year
:41:53. > :41:55.ago with the Board of Trustees, it was, he doesn't work for us any
:41:56. > :41:59.more, so we have never spoken to him. We have an awful lot of
:42:00. > :42:04.information we don't know and probably will never know, but what
:42:05. > :42:09.we do know is, when we did get that narrative verdict from the coroner,
:42:10. > :42:11.the coroner, the invest process is not allowed to apportion blame.
:42:12. > :42:18.They're very, very clear on this what you can and can't say. You
:42:19. > :42:27.cannot apportion blame. However, a narrative verdict meant that the
:42:28. > :42:32.coroner made recommendations. It's issued in cases where things can be
:42:33. > :42:34.done to prevent further deaths. Latitude responded, the coroner said
:42:35. > :42:39.in order to prevent further deaths you have to do X, Y and Z and
:42:40. > :42:43.Latitude said we have put the paperwork in place, ticked the
:42:44. > :42:49.bobbings. Our point is, you have the paperwork in place that could have
:42:50. > :42:52.saved Alice and Summer's lives in the initial risk assessment --
:42:53. > :42:56.ticked the box. We don't know where the breakdown is but it's in the
:42:57. > :43:00.communication, staff training, something went wrong because that
:43:01. > :43:04.information wasn't communicated to the volunteers. It wasn't like they
:43:05. > :43:08.thought oh, we know the sea is dangerous, we know we shouldn't be
:43:09. > :43:12.going in at this time, we know rip currents will be there but we are
:43:13. > :43:14.going to do it anyway and take our chances. They weren't given that
:43:15. > :43:20.information but somebody with them had that information. For whatever
:43:21. > :43:23.reason, they didn't tell us. It wasn't passed on. Thank you for
:43:24. > :43:28.talking to us and coming on the programme. Thank you.
:43:29. > :43:34.Some breaking news to bring you now. Clive Coleman is here, he's our
:43:35. > :43:39.legal affairs correspondent. What do you know?
:43:40. > :43:46.This is a very emotive case about a seven-year-old boy. He has a very
:43:47. > :43:50.rare genetic condition called PKU meaning he can't properly met about
:43:51. > :43:53.lie protein so he's limited to 12 grammes of protein a day, equivalent
:43:54. > :43:58.to about three slices of bread. If he eats more than that, he risks
:43:59. > :44:04.suffering serious brain damage. His case is complicated by the fact that
:44:05. > :44:09.he also has severe awe Tim, he's -- autism. He's non--verbal. So it's
:44:10. > :44:16.very, very difficult to regulate his diet. There is a drug that enables
:44:17. > :44:19.you to met about lie more protein. It's incredibly expensive, costing
:44:20. > :44:24.about ?100 per day. The NHS consultant treating this little boy,
:44:25. > :44:29.known only as A in these proceedings, wants him to have that
:44:30. > :44:33.drug and put in what's known as an independent funding request to NHS
:44:34. > :44:36.England. They turned it down, initially saying the case wasn't
:44:37. > :44:44.exceptional. They rode back on that and said that this combination of
:44:45. > :44:47.PKU and the autism does make the case exceptional but said they
:44:48. > :44:52.wouldn't fund the drug on the basis that its clinical and cost
:44:53. > :44:54.effectively hadn't been proven. The family brought a judicial case
:44:55. > :44:58.review on this and they've won on one of the grounds. The ground
:44:59. > :45:03.they've won on is that the judge has ruled that that decision not to fund
:45:04. > :45:07.the drug on the basis that it wasn't clinically or cost effective was
:45:08. > :45:11.irrational. Mrs Justice Andrews this morning said the decision to decline
:45:12. > :45:18.this application on the basis that the clinical effectiveness of this
:45:19. > :45:21.drug/intervention's not been demonstrated by a misinterpretation
:45:22. > :45:28.of the phrase "clinical effectiveness. " She said if
:45:29. > :45:36.clinical effectiveness is properly interpreted, the fact that the drug
:45:37. > :45:41.is useful is overwhelming. It's not a mandatory. The decision now goes
:45:42. > :45:46.back to NHS England with this powerful judgment behind it, so the
:45:47. > :45:50.chances are, I would suggest, he's likely to get it. They also brought
:45:51. > :45:54.this on a wider ground. If they won on this, it would have had
:45:55. > :45:57.implications for the parents of many children who have these rare
:45:58. > :46:02.conditions where the drugs are very expensive. They didn't win on that
:46:03. > :46:06.basis. So unfort Natally, this is restricted to this one child but it
:46:07. > :46:13.looks like he may well get the drug now.
:46:14. > :46:20.Road rage killer Kenneth Noye is to be transferred to an open prison
:46:21. > :46:26.after the Justice Secretary accepted a Parole Board recommendation.
:46:27. > :46:31.Kenneth Noye is to be transferred to an open prison after the Justice
:46:32. > :46:35.Secretary accepted an invitation from the Parole Board.
:46:36. > :46:38.A British computer expert hailed a hero after he stopped a worldwide
:46:39. > :46:40.cyber attack that crippled parts of the NHS has been
:46:41. > :46:51.23-year-old Marcus Hutchins has been charged with creating
:46:52. > :46:53.and distributing a separate cyber attack known as Kronos, which
:46:54. > :46:57.He's due to appear in court in Milwaukee later today charged
:46:58. > :46:59.with six counts of creating and selling the malware.
:47:00. > :47:00.Malware is software which is specifically
:47:01. > :47:02.designed to disrupt, damage, or gain access
:47:03. > :47:05.This is Marcus Hutchins, who is from Devon,
:47:06. > :47:07.speaking about his involvement in derailing the NHS
:47:08. > :47:18.I then saw lots of reports from different sort of sectors
:47:19. > :47:23.of the NHS, and they were just all simultaneously being
:47:24. > :47:28.And I thought, this one thing is hitting all these sectors so it's
:47:29. > :47:33.got to be something pretty big, so I went and I looked into it.
:47:34. > :47:36.I asked a friend of mine in the industry if he had a sample
:47:37. > :47:38.of the actual malware that was going around,
:47:39. > :47:43.I used virtualisation software which basically makes a computer
:47:44. > :47:45.within your computer, so that it wouldn't affect me,
:47:46. > :47:55.She's from the charity the Courage Foundation.
:47:56. > :47:57.She's been in contact with Marcus Hutchins' lawyers
:47:58. > :47:59.in the USA and is trying to help his case.
:48:00. > :48:02.Jeremiah Grossman is a cyber security expert and former hacker.
:48:03. > :48:08.He worked with Marcus Hutchins on WannaCry.
:48:09. > :48:16.He has been released from jail. Yes. Which you would say is good news? It
:48:17. > :48:20.is really good news. At his court dates last week he was granted bail
:48:21. > :48:26.for $30,000 which is really unusual in this case and it speaks to how
:48:27. > :48:30.organised and supportive his group of friends has been. The publicity
:48:31. > :48:35.helped as well. They couldn't raise that money and he was in custody and
:48:36. > :48:38.now he has been released? It took a while to get the money together in
:48:39. > :48:42.the United States and he was released late last night. In the
:48:43. > :48:46.court case you're telling me has been moved to next week? Yes,
:48:47. > :48:53.because of the timing. So he is in Vegas at the moment. He will have to
:48:54. > :49:02.go to Wisconsin to be arraigned formerly and that will take place on
:49:03. > :49:08.Monday. Right, so, Mr Hutchins lawyer says he denies the charges.
:49:09. > :49:10.Are the two reconcilable? The US prosecutor's statement has been
:49:11. > :49:13.misrepresented because my understanding of what was said was
:49:14. > :49:17.that he admitted to writing some of the code which appeared in the Mall
:49:18. > :49:20.ware. Which is a different thing. Somebody can appropriate somebody
:49:21. > :49:24.else's code which has been released on the internet and writing code,
:49:25. > :49:28.which others go on to repurpose and misuse in some way, is not a crime,
:49:29. > :49:36.even in the United States. OK. What can you tell us about the
:49:37. > :49:44.Mall ware that Mr Hutchins has been accused of designing effectively,
:49:45. > :49:48.charged with designing? It is a little curious because it is a form
:49:49. > :49:51.of malware it is three or four years old. At the time it was regarded as
:49:52. > :49:57.a failure. It was written to be resold and used for banking fraud,
:49:58. > :50:01.but it never really went anywhere. When the name came up, we had to go
:50:02. > :50:05.become and figure out what it was because no one actually heard of it.
:50:06. > :50:08.Is it your theory that Marcus Hutchins could have been making this
:50:09. > :50:14.for the purpose of understanding it better? We don't know. The
:50:15. > :50:18.Department of Justice issued the indictment, but it was devoid of any
:50:19. > :50:24.particular evidence. So we really don't know what they're holding on
:50:25. > :50:30.to as far as they think Marcus might have had his hand on it. It could be
:50:31. > :50:33.like he wrote some code, somebody that originally wrote it
:50:34. > :50:38.reappropriated his code and they saw it was his and all of a sudden he's
:50:39. > :50:41.wrapped up in a big mess. OK. I wonder, isn't that the go to defence
:50:42. > :50:52.when you have been caught doing something illegal? My understanding
:50:53. > :50:57.is that he's going to plead not guilty in Wisconsin next week. I
:50:58. > :51:02.think that as the indictment is incredibly thin. There is no
:51:03. > :51:06.indication of what evidence US prosecutors have, if any, and we
:51:07. > :51:10.have to wait until next week. How do you react to what happened to him? I
:51:11. > :51:13.think it's quite shocking. I think the way it happened was quite
:51:14. > :51:17.shocking. He was arrested at the airport just as he was about to
:51:18. > :51:21.board his plane. He managed to speak to his parents now, but his mother,
:51:22. > :51:26.the first thing she knew he didn't get off his plane back from the
:51:27. > :51:29.United States. It is pretty bad and I think that these prosecutions in
:51:30. > :51:33.the US are quite political and the fact that Marcus has such a
:51:34. > :51:38.high-profile, that he is regarded as a hero here. He did an enormous
:51:39. > :51:42.service to anyone by stopping the Mall ware in its tracks and because
:51:43. > :51:46.of when he did it, it is individuals and businesses in the US who
:51:47. > :51:52.benefited disproportionately for that because he did it before the
:51:53. > :51:56.East Coast turn their computers on. It is an unfortunate fact that
:51:57. > :51:58.having a high-profile makes you a target for prosecutors in the US.
:51:59. > :52:06.Thank you very much. Shocking footage has emerged
:52:07. > :52:11.of a woman, who escaped serious injury after appearing to be pushed
:52:12. > :52:15.by a jogger into the path Our correspondent
:52:16. > :52:19.Jessica Parker is with me. First, let's
:52:20. > :52:29.have a look at the CCTV. If you look at the footage of the
:52:30. > :52:33.jogger you can see him running across Putney Bridge. This is in
:52:34. > :52:38.West London. This on 5th May where appears to push this woman into the
:52:39. > :52:43.path of an on coming bus and you can see the bus swerving to avoid her.
:52:44. > :52:50.If we look again at the footage. He is running across Putney Bridge.
:52:51. > :52:55.Away from Putney Bridge Station. As he runs past the woman, this is at
:52:56. > :53:02.7.40am. There he appears to push her. She falls over. The bus
:53:03. > :53:05.swerving there to avoid her. The 33-year-old woman sustaining pinor
:53:06. > :53:08.injuries. The bus stopped and passengers got off the bus to go to
:53:09. > :53:12.her aid. And what are the police saying? Well, they are appealing for
:53:13. > :53:17.people to come forward who witnessed the incident. The jogger is
:53:18. > :53:21.described as a white man with brown eyes and short brown hair, wearing a
:53:22. > :53:25.light grey T-shirt and dark blue shorts and apparently 15 minutes
:53:26. > :53:28.after the incident he came back across the bridge and the woman, the
:53:29. > :53:31.victim, who was still there, tried to talk to him, but he didn't
:53:32. > :53:37.acknowledge her and carried on running, but as I say, police urging
:53:38. > :53:40.witnesses to come forward or the jogger himself, the investigating
:53:41. > :53:43.officer saying the victim was put in extreme danger when she was knocked
:53:44. > :53:46.into the road. It was only due to the superb quick reaction of the bus
:53:47. > :53:49.driver that she was not hit by the vehicle. Incredible. Thank you very
:53:50. > :53:53.much, Jessica. The police say if you have got more
:53:54. > :53:57.information, please, please, please, get in touch with them.
:53:58. > :54:15.The organisers of the athletics World Championships in London have
:54:16. > :54:17.revealed that a number of athletes have contracted gastroenteritis.
:54:18. > :54:20.Those who've come down with it include members of the German team,
:54:21. > :54:23.and the Botswanan athlete Isaac Makwala who had to pull out
:54:24. > :54:26.The organisers of the athletics World Championships in London have
:54:27. > :54:29.revealed that a number of athletes have contracted gastroeteritis.
:54:30. > :54:31.Those who've come down with it include members of the German team,
:54:32. > :54:34.and the Botswanan athlete Isaac Makwala who had to pull out
:54:35. > :54:37.Dr Deborah Turbitt from Public Health England
:54:38. > :54:42.How many people have been affected? 20 to 30 people. What is
:54:43. > :54:44.gastroenteritis? That's diarrhoea and vomiting. So those are the
:54:45. > :54:47.symptoms that people have been experiencing. With Norovirus it
:54:48. > :54:51.usually lasts between 24 and 48 hours and people get better on their
:54:52. > :54:57.own. The important thing, it spreads from person to person. So, we have
:54:58. > :55:02.been advising the athletics organisers about how to ask people
:55:03. > :55:06.to be very careful about their hygiene and cleaning. So that any
:55:07. > :55:11.virus that gets into the environment is not able to spread to other
:55:12. > :55:16.people. And how would someone contract it in
:55:17. > :55:20.the first place? It is directly from another person who has the illness
:55:21. > :55:24.because they're shedding the virus. It comes outs with the vomit or
:55:25. > :55:30.diarrhoea and gets into the environment and goes on hands or
:55:31. > :55:33.surfaces and so, people need to, when they're having symptoms, stay
:55:34. > :55:36.away as much as possible from other people and that's what we have been
:55:37. > :55:40.asking the people who have been affected to do.
:55:41. > :55:44.OK. And as far as you know, it is nothing to do with where they are
:55:45. > :55:48.staying? No, it is nothing to do with where they are staying. Our
:55:49. > :55:52.belief is that some people arrived with the virus and have managed to
:55:53. > :55:55.spread it to other people. They didn't know they were doing that
:55:56. > :56:00.obviously, but it does spread very easily and particularly when people
:56:01. > :56:05.are gathered together. It's the sort of outbreaks we see all the time in
:56:06. > :56:10.places like schools and hospitals and on cruise ships. It's quite
:56:11. > :56:14.common. Right. OK. But it's a real shame for them? It is. They are
:56:15. > :56:17.supposed to be competing and they have been gearing up for this
:56:18. > :56:21.goodness knows how long and training for it? Yes. They will get better,
:56:22. > :56:25.but for it to happen just at the point where they are wanting to
:56:26. > :56:33.compete is a great shame for them personally, yes. Thank you very
:56:34. > :56:40.much. Some messages now from those of you
:56:41. > :56:45.who watched our film from our reporter Amber Hack on the stigma
:56:46. > :56:49.surrounding a cancer diagnosis amongst women in the South Asian
:56:50. > :56:55.community. A viewer says, "It might be time to go for a cervical smear
:56:56. > :57:00.test because Asian women are not getting tested." Mike says, "Working
:57:01. > :57:05.nn an operating theatre we had a British woman into our theatre for
:57:06. > :57:11.an emergency operation. She did not report her abdominal pain until she
:57:12. > :57:15.was actually passing faeces or rally." Another viewer on Facebook
:57:16. > :57:22.says, "There is no stigma to cancer. Stop this now. I never ever heard
:57:23. > :57:27.such nonsense in my life." A reminder this morning, a close
:57:28. > :57:31.friend of, Chloe Ayling, the model who was allegedly held captive by a
:57:32. > :57:36.gang in Italy told this programme that she thinks her friend was
:57:37. > :57:40.misled. She has known Chloe Ayling since she was 15 and who also runs a
:57:41. > :57:47.model agency has talked to Chloe Ayling in the last couple of days.
:57:48. > :57:51.Chloe being a friend of mine, I just think Chloe is o and good girl. A
:57:52. > :57:58.little bit naive. Could she be misled? I just don't want to say to
:57:59. > :58:02.be honest. Obviously she has grown up to when I knew her from the
:58:03. > :58:05.beginning at 15. She is now a 20-year-old woman, but if anything
:58:06. > :58:11.happened like that, I would say she was misled.
:58:12. > :58:15.Thank you for your company. We're back tomorrow at 9am.
