I'm Matthew Price, welcome to the programme.

Nine members of G4S staff are suspended over allegations of abuse

and assault at an immigration centre. We will give you all the

details. It was an image of the Syrian

refugee crisis that shocked the world -

talks to us exclusively about whether his death

has changed anything. Two years later after that's

tragedy, I really urge citizens to go out there and tell the

politicians, their leaders, to find a solution.

Businesses are getting fed up with the slow progress

That's the warning from the international trade secretary,

They want to know that there'll continue to be an open and liberal

trading environment in Europe, and there's a worry that if Britain

doesn't get a trade deal it wants, you could end up with impediments

to trade and investments in Europe that don't exist today.

We'll have the details and we'd love to hear from you if your

The private sector security company G4S has suspended nine members

of staff from an immigration removal centre near Gatwick Airport

following an investigation by the BBC's Panorama.

The programme says it has covert footage recorded at Brook House

showing officers "mocking, abusing and assaulting"

G4S has said there was "no place for the type of conduct described

in the allegations" and that it would "continue to focus on the care

Our Social Affairs Correspondent Alison Holt joins me.

What more can you tell us? This is an investigation by the BBC Panorama

programme, and an investigating officer was undercover there. These

are people who have finished their prison sentence and are due to be

deported from the country at this centre. The others are people who

have overstayed their visas, asylum seekers, and people who haven't done

anything criminal in terms of overstaying in terms of immigration

offences, so it is quite a toxic mix, ideas described by the

programme, within that centre. We know that the officers found

widespread drug use, particularly the drug Spice, and high levels of

self harm, and officers who were mocking and abusive in their

behaviour, allegedly. So it is a toxic mix, the programme will be

looking at those aspects in detail on Monday. And G4S obviously taking

it very seriously indeed this morning. Thank you very much indeed

for that, Alison. Annita is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary Good morning, everyone. The

international trade Secretary has said that the UK must not be allowed

to be blackmailed by the European Union over the cost of leaving. Liam

Fox said businesses had become impatient with the slow progress of

the Brexit negotiations. It's very clear that businesses not

just in Europe but investors in places like here in Japan

are getting impatient and want to see what that final

shape of that arrangement's They want to know that there'll

continue to be an open and liberal trading environment in Europe,

and there's worry that, if there's not the sort

of agreement that Britain wants, you could end up with impediments to

trade and investment across Europe There is frustration on both sides.

And there was some transference going on, a lot of frustration from

British ministers at the moment after a very tetchy press conference

in Brussels yesterday in which the chief EU negotiator said it was some

way off opening these trade talks, wider trade talks at the British

Government are keen to get started, keen to get under way to try to

reassure businesses that they can still have confidence after Brexit.

Those trade talks may well be delayed towards the end of the year,

it certainly looks as though that is how things are going in Brussels at

the moment, and one of the key sticking points, or not the only one

that one of the key ones is this so-called divorce Bill, effectively

the EU is saying show us your money, tell us how much you are prepared to

pay to leave the European Union, and the British Government has been

reluctant to do so. Liam Fox has been arguing that one of the ways to

release attentions is to park some of these issues and get the trade

talks started. But whether you can reduce tensions by using language

like blackmail, that remains to be seen. He is effectively saying there

should not be a price to pay to start these negotiations. I think at

this stage it might actually fuel tensions rather than reduce them.

Iain, thank you very much. The RAF is now the first branch

of the British military to open From today, they can apply

to join the RAF Regiment, a front line combat force whose main

task is to patrol and The Defence Secretary,

Sir Michael Fallon, has described the move -

which is a year ahead of schedule - Our correspondent Mark Lobel

has got the details. This is significant

moment for the RAF. The first branch of the British

military to open up all areas But now they can apply to join

the RAF's currently all-male infantry combat unit, which patrols

and protects airfields. They fought in Afghanistan

and suffered casualties. The RAF Regiment is relatively

small, just over 2,000 strong, and with women making up

about 10% of the Air Force as a whole, there's unlikely to be

a flood of applications. Last July, former PM

David Cameron overturned hundreds of years of military

tradition to allow women to take up In April, the Royal Armed Corps

opened its doors to females. PM Theresa May was there to witness

the graduation at Sandhurst Today, it's the RAF's ground

fighting force opening its doors. And by the end of next year,

women should be able to join the even more physically

demanding Army infantry unit Not everyone welcomes these changes,

but after studies concluded women are physically up for the fight,

now potential recruits can President Trump is expected to ask

Congress for ?4.5 billion of funds to help those

he will give $1 million He plans to return

to a collapse and fail the people Sales of the noisiest and most

powerful vacuum cleaners will be restricted under EU

Roger Harrabin explains. Some of these vacuum cleaners

will be on the banned Cleaners like this Sebo

automatic gobble 1100 watts. That's too high for new European

standards, so this model Anti-EU campaigners say Europe

should have no say in the sort But experts say households can

save a small fortune on electricity bills if only the least efficient

machines can be driven There's no dispute that EU standards

are forcing down energy The manufacturers claim

they are prepared for it. Consumers are really not prepared

for the performance hits they will experience

from the new machines. So will the UK keep European

standards after Brexit? Hundreds of thousands of people

News - more at 9.30. Thank you, Annita. What a shocking

piece of footage. So, let's get some sport. How did

the transfer window end? Hello. There was plenty of money spent in

the Premier League yesterday, more than spent on the final day of the

transfer window, we just didn't see any of it going on the really big

names. The figures really show this summer that the Premier League clubs

beat their gross spent by 23%, fuelled by the television rights

deal, it now means it is six summers in a row that English clubs have

beaten their own record. They spent more money than any of the other

major European leagues, and that trend is set to continue.

So much more money, 23%. What other details, who is moving where? Lets

get down to the nitty-gritty. We didn't see the biggest of the

transfers go through, we spoke about Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez. 24 goals

last season, he could have been the missing piece from Manchester city,

but after a ?60 million bid and an agreement in principle were made,

City were left disappointed because Arsenal wouldn't sell him without

getting in a replacement. That was meant to be the France Wenger Lamah,

that was also agreed, but he opted against moving to North London. That

meant Sanchez was stuck at the Emirates. He could be offered for

free next summer at the end of his deal. Also staying put is Ross

Barkley, another deal that was agreed, this time between Everton

and champions Chelsea, in fact Everton claim he had even gone as

far as having a medical. But that was denied by a source close to the

player. Not a great wind over Chelsea, up until yesterday they

missed several big targets, but they did do a couple of deadline day

deals, including England's Danny Drinkwater, who made a 35mm hands

move from Leicester City, Premier League winners in 2015. I can't run

off all the deals right now, they are all on the website. But one more

could happen today, Philippe Coutinho could be leaving Liverpool,

he has already been the subject of a ?140 million bid from Barcelona,

that was rejected by Liverpool, but the Spanish transfer window not

closing until tonight, that means he could be on his way. We were keep an

eye on that one today, and maybe Riyad Mahrez will leave Leicester to

go to Spain as well, there is still a little way to go before we stop

talking about these transfers this summer. Thank you very much, and we

are going to be talking a lot more about the football transfers, we

will even have a football pitch here in the studio, so look out for that.

The story of little Alan Kurdi who drowned after fleeing from Syria

shocked people around the world and you might find the image -

which we are about to show you distressing, especially

Lying face-down in the sand, the picture of Alan drew

the world's attention to the deadly migrant crossings.

The three-year-old drowned off the shores

near the Turkish resort of Bodrum, after a boat carrying refugees sank,

while he was attempting with his family to reach the Greek

This image shows a Turkish police officer carrying the tiny body

Within a few hours that image had gone viral,

becoming the top trending picture on social media.

But it wasn't just Alan who lost his life that day.

His brother Galip and mother Rehana also lost their lives and only his

Politicians around the world promised action.

In Britain, more than 100,000 people marched on the streets

calling on the government to welcome refugees.

It led to the former Prime Minister, David Cameron, promising that the UK

would take in 4,000 Syrian refugees a year.

But on the eve of the second anniversary, Tima Kurdi,

Alan's aunty, says the situation is getting worse.

We'll hear from her in a moment, but first here's an extract

from her interview two years ago when she told us what happened.

Once again, I should warn you that the details

Just a small wave of water splashed him, and Alan was laughing

so loud and he said, "Oh, my God, Daddy, this

On the other side, Galib was crying and scared.

All of a sudden, he said, we hit the big wave,

so it flipped the boat upside down, and then Abdullah, he tried

to hold the two boys, and then the wave kept pushing him

down, so he tried to push them up, and he screamed at them

to tell them, "Please, don't die, just breathe!"

And the wave kept pushing them down, so Abdullah finally managed

So he looked in his left arm, Galib was finished,

He looked at Alan, Alan was, his eye was bleeding.

He said, I don't know why he has blood in his eye,

and he's finished, he's dead, so he closed his eye

And he said, OK, I'm going to let him go to go save my wife.

He look around, look around until finally he saw his wife

floating in the water like a balloon.

Tima is currently flying to Erbil to spend the anniversary

with her brother, but spoke exclusively to us earlier today

and told us how she is marking the anniversary his death.

The refugee camp there and for my brother Abdullah, I can't explain,

he never healed completely, but every time he goes to the refugee

camp and talks to them it gives him hope and he obviouslies look at it

as I am going to be a person who can be the force and give them what I

can give them or what he couldn't do to his own children. From Canada I

decided to open a foundation and it's fairly new, we don't have

charity number yet, we need to wait. But people can donate and hopefully

we are going to, to Alan, the boy on the beach will never be forgotten.

That's an amazing thing to be doing after you have suffered to much

heartache and grief. You mentioned your brother, who clearly isn't

coping at all well. No, I can not explain it to you. Just imagine

losing your whole family, not just one, and his wife, it's not easy.

But I keep encouraging him, I keep reminding him that maybe God wants

him to do something, by opening foundation to help innocent children

who have nothing to do in this world expect to have a good life so I give

him hope. Emotionally it's not easy for him. It's up and down. It's been

two years. Emotionally... I am not the only one, there are thousands of

families like my brother, they have the same thing, we see it every day,

today it's happening and it's sad, it's sad to see the world, we are

sitting and watching and not doing enough. It sounds like this is also

affecting you and partly at least because you feel that the world has

forgotten Alan's story. I call on the world's leaders, they are the

only one who can bring the end to this conflict, everywhere in the

world. They need to sit down and find a peaceful solution, political

solution to end the war everywhere. Even if we look around right now we

see refugees from war, we see people affected, we see hatred around

Europe, we see terrorists killing innocent victims. This is

unacceptable. And I fear and I have feelings that we didn't see the

worst yet, if we can not do anything. If we are going to keep

watching and pretend, you know, yes, it's - and go back to our life and

not do enough, then we are going to see the worst, everyone of us will

be affected. So I am counting only on the world's leaders, please, to

sit around the table and find a solution everywhere, let's focus on

the root cause those refugees flee their country and find the solution

for it. We need to focus on that, why those refugees are fleeing their

homes. No family will flee their home or leave their country other

than their life, they're risking their life, families are dying every

single day. Innocent children. It's unacceptable. We are watching the

news, me, my brother, every time we see innocent children are dying it

always brings back our tragedy and it hurts because children are

innocent victims. When the photo was first published of Alan lying,

drowned, on that beach, many world leaders said this must not be

allowed to happen again. You have just made another appeal to world

leaders. Do you think you will be listened to? Two years later after

that tragedy I really urge every citizen to go out there and tell

their politician, their leader, to find a solution, peaceful solution.

Anything we see right now in the world, it's scary, so we don't want

to continue watching and see the worst because we didn't see the

worst yet. In 2015 when we had that tragedy as a family and as the world

seeing that image we thought back then this is the most tragic news

and was the biggest, but if you ask me two years later which one is the

worst I will tell you today, today is the worst. So again the people

all over the world I want them to stand up and add their voices, go to

your politician, go to your leaders and urge them and ask them, find the

solution, peaceful solution to end the conflict. Until the solution

will happen, which is not going to happen overnight, the refugees we

need to continue to support refugees, to have a shared plan and

to support them. That's Alan Kurdi's aunt, Tima, speaking to us and you

can feel how raw that grief still is. Horn story.

More than 1,000 people have died in devastating

floods affecting India, Bangladesh and Nepal.

The disaster has been caused by one of the heaviest monsoons on record

Across the globe, residents are still struggling to cope

from Save the Children in Dhaka, Bangladesh and Francis Markus

from the International Red Cross in Nepal.

Obviously much of our media has been focused on events on the other side

of the world, the flooding in Houston and elsewhere. But I wonder,

perhaps starting with you, Mark, if you can paint a picture of what you

have seen there. The level of devastation is horrible, it's

massive. Millions of children have been affected, and as we know

throughout the region, there are 40 million people overall in all of

south Asia, so right now the rains have subsided and people are

starting to clean up the debris and try to restore their livelihoods,

but the situation is massive. 8 million people throughout Bangladesh

are affected. Tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed, and

people's lives have been disrupted. And described the situation,

Francis, that you have seen in Nepal. Many people are camped out in

tents and under tarpaulins in conditions which alternate between

baking heat and torrential rain still. And those who have managed to

go back to their homes have found that these simple mud and bamboo

dwellings are completely waterlogged, and all their meagre

possessions have been swept away. You have to remember that the worst

affected in this disaster really have been the poorest of the poor,

in many case people who are landless, and even if they had the

resources to rebuild their houses, they would face a question mark over

where they can rebuild, so the future really is very, very

uncertain for people, and they need a lot of support to get back on

their feet again. It is interesting you start to talk about resources,

because of course we are seeing already in the United States, the US

Congress is expected to step up with millions. The president has promised

a million from his own personal account. But you are dealing with a

very different situation in a place like Nepal, aren't you? Absolutely.

Even before this disaster hit, people were telling us that the sum

total of their possessions really only amounted to a store of grain

and a few bits and pieces of clothing and some pots and pans, and

so even this has been lost. As far as the people who have lost their

homes altogether are concerned, shelter is one of the most urgent

concerns, and so is health, because there is an obvious potential for

the spread of diseases. And the other major, major problem in Nepal

and in the other countries is the amount of farmland and the extent of

the destruction of the rice crop. This means people also need support

to somehow re-establish their livelihoods and feed their families

into the future. Mark, the country you are in, much of it on a river

delta, much low-lying and prone to flooding. Does that make an event

like this any easier to deal with them the fact that people expect the

monsoon season and they expect it to be bad? You can understand that

people have been through this before, flooding occurs every year

in Bangladesh, and so people do have a keen understanding of what to do

in the case of floods. However, these floods were much bigger than

normal, and that is what caught every body off-guard. And obviously

children don't remember or haven't experienced floods like this ever,

and so they are the ones who are most traumatised in a flood

situation, and so that is why we are trying to focus on trying to help

families restore their livelihoods, get them basic food, shelter, water,

but then also try to get kids back into school, make sure they are

protected, and then help the families rebuild their livelihoods.

So it is a daunting task, because this problem will go on for many

months if not years to come, but we should always remember that it is

the children who are affected most in these disasters. Mark Pierce, of

course the United States, part of it at least, centres on the issue of

climate change, partly because of President Trump's thoughts on

climate change. In a place like Bangladesh, do people start to say,

things are getting worse, it is something to do with man-made

climate change and therefore we need even more help from around the

world? Does that come into the political discussion? I think it

comes into everyone's discussion, not just the political discussion

but even the farmer who lives on the delta and tries to tend to his farm

and livestock. They are well aware of climate change. They can see it

everyday. And they see their land either being flooded every year or

facing drought. So people are making choices already as a result of

climate change, and I think governments in Bangladesh and south

Asia are well aware of what is happening and making plans as well

as the international community. Francis, is that your experience in

Nepal as well? To people at the sharp end relates directly to

climate change? I think that people do wonder about these immense

changes and fluctuations which they are seeing. For a start, all the

farmers in Nepal are noticing that somehow or other, they yield is less

and less from year to year, and then you have that situation where in

part of the flood stricken area that I was in a few years ago, they said

we had seven or eight years of drought, and suddenly they were hit

by this incredibly severe monsoon onslaught of rain, and so inevitably

people do wonder what is happening. They have answers, but they just

have to respond as best they can, and we need to be with them and

respond as best we can. Just because there is a drought situation, that

doesn't mean that we can relax our vigilance and stop simulations where

we enact what to do in a flood scene. So I think it is a complex

picture, and people are trying to react as best they can. And

marketeers, a final one from you, if you will. How would you characterise

the immediate, the top three priorities right now? The top three

priorities are very clear. Food, shelter, water, and then following

that, we need to restore people's livelihoods, make sure kids get back

into school, to give them some normalcy in their life. We need to

make sure that children are protected. Mark Pearce from Save the

Children and Francis Markus, International Red Cross, thank you

both from Nepal. Coming up, caring for a child with

cancer and the emotional and physical toll that this can have on

parents. A deal to restore devolved

Government in Northern Ireland has been rejected as the two main

parties, the DUP and Sinn Fein, Chris pages in Belfast. Does this

move is a step closer to direct rule from Westminster? I think it looks

at the moment that it does. Northern Ireland has been without a devolved

government says the power-sharing executive collapsed in January, and

people in Northern Ireland are seeing the effects of that. There is

great uncertainty for people working in the public sector, threats of

cuts to public services, and last night the DUP leader Arlene Foster

made a speech in which she set out a proposal to break the deadlock. She

said you restore the Stormont executive, put ministers back into

the devolved Government immediately so that they can get spending money

on for example health dedication, try to sort those problems out, but

she says at the same time, you should have parallel talks to deal

with what to be the outstanding sticking point that is preventing

the restoration of the devolved government, and that is around

language and culture. Sinn Fein, who would be the other half of the

power-sharing administration, want a piece of legislation to promote and

protect the Irish language, but the Democratic Unionist Party are

pushing for a broader law which would also incorporate cultural

elements which are more important to Unionists. So that was Mrs Foster's

idea, and she said in spite of the fact that the DUP are now in a

powerful position at Westminster propping up Theresa May's minority

Conservative government, that didn't mean that the DUP didn't want the

return of devolution. She said the party were very much of the opinion

that this was in the interests of the future of Northern Ireland. But

Sinn Fein's leader Michelle O'Neill has been speaking the last

half-hour, and this is what she had to say. The DUP have failed to

embrace power-sharing. They have failed to embrace the principle is

at the heart of the Good Friday Agreement of equality, of mutual

respect and of party of esteem. They have acted disrespectfully towards

Irish identity and culture, and they have failed to deliver people their

rights. Whether that be marriage rights, language rights, economic

rights or cultural rights. So that has been the problem at the heart of

the political crisis. The fundamental issue of rights. In

regards to Arlene Foster's comments last night and the offer of a

parallel process, this is not a new offer. This is an issue, the issue

of a parallel process has been discussed, and disregarded

throughout the course of all of the negotiations which we have had to

date. So in essence it was making an offer which they knew would be

rejected. The people out there want government. They want locally

accountable institutions. They want the institutions to work. But they

have to work in the way in which they are intended. They have to work

on the principles of power-sharing. So in terms of the offer last night,

it was an offer which they knew would be rejected, and it is

certainly not a new offer. Michelle O'Neill making it clear that she

didn't think that Arlene Foster's proposal last night made any

differences regarding progress towards the restoration of

devolution. So for the time being it looks like Northern Ireland will

continue on this administrative autopilot, civil servants are

running the country but they can't make any major policy decisions.

They had been an expectation that talks would begin again next week

having been on hold over the summer, but are you had heard for the

politicians here this morning, the Northern Ireland Secretary James

Brokenshire making it clear he doesn't want to return to direct

rule from Westminster, but the longer this continues, Matthew, the

more likely it is that the Government will have to look at some

kind of alternative, and they will have to put in some ministers to run

Northern Ireland or the absence of local ministers doing so.

Chris, thank you very much indeed. It's one of the worst things that

can happen to a parent, finding out your child has

a serious illness. Now a leading cancer charity

is warning about the damage it can do to a mother or father's mental

health, both during and CLIC Sargent surveyed nearly 300

parents and careers of young cancer patients and found many have

suffered from depression, Some said they felt pressured not

to speak out about their problems because they had to be strong

for their child, while others said concern about their finances

caused additional stress. Let's start by hearing one

couple's story who have been Abi spiked two more temperatures

during the day today. You're stressing because worrying

about her or worrying about the little one,

because she's away. Worrying about each other,

because it's stressful in itself. Things go through your mind that

you just can't help. Abi's poorly quite a lot,

especially now she's in maintenance. I think the worst part

was when we took her to the hospital and they came back and they said,

"Yes, she's got leukaemia." And you just want to crack up,

but you kind of know you can't crack up, because you've got to stay

strong for her and try and not show her the fear

that you're feeling. You're feeling angry,

you're feeling upset, confused. What do I do next, where do

I go, who do I tell? It's chemo this day,

injection that day, bloods this next day,

and that is what your I wasn't Debbie any more,

I was just Abi's mum, Figures from charities suggest four

children are diagnosed with cancer in the UK every day,

so let's now speak to some parents Jennie Dalton was diagnosed

with post traumatic stress disorder after her daughter was diagnosed

with a rare type of cancer. Debbie Moran, who you will have seen

in the clip we just played you, she was hospitalised

with a suspected mini stroke while dealing

with her daughter's leukaemia. Also here is the chief

executive for the cancer charity CLIC Sargent,

Kate Lee. Good morning to all of you. Let's

start with you, Jennie. Post traumatic stress disorder, it's

something we think of soldiers when we hear about it. Tell us what

happened to you. Isabelle has had an incredibly long journey, seven years

of treatment with her tumour. It just got to the stage where I was

struggling, really struggling. The nightmares, the constant worry of

Isabelle's relapsed three times now, so it's that fear of are we going to

beat it? Is my daughter going to get better? It's just there constantly.

It doesn't go away. Then when you have that mixed up with your

daughter's treatment, the emotional impact, financial impact it all

comes together and I got to the stage where I put my hands up and

said, you know what, I can't cope. I am really struggling. I need some

help. I need support. I went to see my GP and he said, yeah, you are

showing classic signs of post traumatic stress disorder. When he

said that what did you think? I suppose I was relieved really

because you get to the stage where you think am I losing my mind, am I

going mad? You have so much constantly going on in your head and

you are trying to juggle everything and get the best support and

treatment for your child and you are worried about them and you don't

think about yourself. It was slow. It was a slow process. It just hit

me and I thought something's not right, I don't feel myself, I don't

feel I can carry on and when the doctor said you have a diagnosis,

you have post traumatic stress disorder, I thought, yeah, I am not

surprised. What I have been through. It isn't surprising, and yet I guess

the sad thing is that people in your situation perhaps, did anybody talk

to you, they obviously talked to you a lot about your daughter's

condition and that was very important, but did anybody say at

the outset this might be hard for you? All the way through, friends,

family, people say to you you need to look after yourself, you need to

be strong. Did you believe them? I knew I needed to look after myself,

but how? How do I look after myself? I just go on holiday for a week,

shall I? My daughter's in the middle of treatment, will I go on holiday,

check into a Spa and relax? I know I need to look after myself, you can't

when you are at the hospital constantly for nearly seven years.

What do you do? Did you feel guilty that you were struggling when your

daughter was in such a terrible situation? If I go under, what

happens? What happens to my daughter if I go under? I need to be strong.

To be honest, when I put my hands up and said I am struggling I started

to get support I felt better about myself. I felt stronger. I felt more

able to support Isabella and I was dmrad I said I needed -- I was glad

I said I needed support, it was like a weight was lifted. Let's talk to

Debbie about her experience. Thank you for waiting patiently. Listening

to what Jennie has to say, presumably you can understand all

those emotions and more? Totally, yeah. I totally understand where

Jennie's coming from, it's very much as they say, they tell you to look

after yourself, it's where do I look after myself? It's very hard. How do

you find that space? I don't really know how you do find that space.

When your child's really ill and they're going in hospital it's very

difficult to find that space. It's catching moments when you can

really. If your child's well and you can have five minutes to yourself,

that's when you have it, but it's very difficult to get that. Tell us

about your daughter. Abigail is six and was diagnosed when she was

three. She has leukaemia. She's doing well at the moment, initially

it's very hard and you kind of just get into that mode and go through

the treatment. Go through each stage. Chemo, without really

thinking about it or trying not to think about it really. But she's a

funny little girl. She smiles most of the time all the way through it,

as do most of the children that are affected with cancer, surprisingly.

Do you think she feels your anxiety? I try not to let her feel my aping

site but I think at times yes -- my anxiety, but I think at times, yes,

she does. You try to stay strong, obviously they need to know when you

are worrying but she will turn around and say, mum, I am fine, let

me do this, but it's hard to switch off at times. That's the hardest

thing, isn't it, you want to protect your child from this and from what

you are feeling because you are meant to be strong, you are meant to

be helping them. Do you worry that your daughter picks up on the stress

that you are under? Same as Debbie, I try my best to not let her see it.

She doesn't need the added stress of worrying about her mum on top of

everything else. It's so hard, especially at night. It's at night

when she's asleep and she's settled, not in pain, she's fine, that's when

it hits me and that's the hardest part. That's when I do most of my

crying in the middle of the night. In that moment of relaxation and it

catches up with you. Kate Lee, it's clearly a problem not spoken about

enough, what support is out there for people? I think our concern is

that the support is patchy around the country. We know that

organisations like CLIC Sargent we have a network across the UK working

directly with parents and our social workers will try wherever possible

if a parent says they're struggling and need help to get them referred

into an NHS counselling service but often that takes a long time. Are

GPs picking up on this? I think if parents ask for help, I don't know

how much, we are concerned whether it's proactively offered. I think

GPs try. I think sometimes healthcare professionals think as

soon as the child is out of treatment it's all OK and lots of

parents tell us that the trauma starts after the treatment ends and

the professionals disappear because they start thinking, one dad said to

me every time he sees a Bruce on his ten-year-old boy he is convinced the

leukaemia is coming back, but ten-year-old boys have bruises. It's

living with that fear. Lots of people think it's over now, the

treatment is finished, they're well. It's really trying to understand

that it's a long-term impact. Often children are treated miles away from

home. Our NHS isn't well set up to provide counselling services for

parents aren't in their local GP practice, often parents don't see

their GP for a long time because they're living in Bristol or

Birmingham or miles from home. We talk about this constantly, about

the need for greater understanding within the NHS of mental health

issues. We are joining through this child cancer awareness month, we

want to raise awareness of support, to support mental health charities

in saying provision in the UK still isn't good enough, we must look at

improving this and thinking about parents of children with cancer

spending most of their lives in hospitals, what's the provision

available in hospital rather than in the community? Also just remembering

that most parents are wrenched out of the family network and friends

network because they're sent to hospitals, you are often sent to

hospital a long way from home. Debbie, it's brave of you to talk

about this and that in itself is going to help plenty of parents

unfortunately in the same situation as you, do you have specific advice

that might help mothers and fathers? Don't be afraid to ask for help. You

are allowed to crumble. You do your best to be able to be strong but if

you crumble, speak to somebody. Don't think that you have to be

brave all the time. You need help too. You are going through it as

much as your child is going through it. And Jennie? There are

professionals out there whose job it is to help you, I don't know what we

would have done as a family without the support of our CLIC Sargent

social worker, she was amazing. Ask for help, tell people. Tell people I

am struggling, I need some help. It's the hardest thing as a parent

that you will ever have to go through to see your child so poorly

and you need to be strong for them. And a plea for dads to do that too.

Often there is a lot of emphasis, a lot of support focussed on people

who seem ongoing through it, we know there is a real problem for dads

because they feel they have to be strong. You often forget that

fathers actually may hide more than mothers do. Debbie, thank you very

much. Jennie as well, and Kate Lee. Still to come: How clean will your

house be after the EU bans the sale of powerful vacuum cleaners? We will

talk to TV presenter Angie MacKenzie to find out. Let's get the latest

weather. Today marks the start of autumn, it

did feel like that this morning, on the cool side. A chill across many

parts of the UK this morning but there was a good deal of sunshine

around. Spectacular start for some parts of the UK. Sun coming up,

mist, as well on the horizon. But it signalled what will be for many a

dry and sunny start to the new season. There will be a few showers,

we have seen them this morning particularly across the Channel

Islands, they're fading. One or two isolated one north-west England,

Scotland. Heavy ones to the east of Norfolk and Suffolk. Eastern

Scotland likely to see showers today. Compared with yesterday most

places dry. Better day for Wales, south-west England, more breeze but

with strong early September sunshine it will feel pleasant. A better

afternoon in the Channel Islands. Eastern England, from Essex,

Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and south-east of Scotland

is where showers are likely through the afternoon. Can't rule out the

odd one elsewhere. But the vast majority will avoid them. Dry, sunny

spells and pleasantly warm. Light winds across Scotland and Northern

Ireland also helping with that warmth. The showers we see will go

on into the evening across parts of eastern England, south-east Scotland

and for some into the night. Some close to the coasts of East Anglia

and Kent. Misty into tomorrow morning and that autumn chill will

be evident again. Temperatures in rural parts of Scotland, northern

England, could below enough for a touch of frost on the ground

tomorrow morning. Saturday probably the best of the weekend if you need

to get out and about. Sunday not bad to begin with but likely to see rain

across parts of the UK later. Saturday, some mist around, a chill

in the air. A few showers cropping up. England and Wales especially.

But very light and isolated. Mainly on the hills. Most of the country

dry with lengthy sunny spells and with light winds it will feel

pleasantly warm. The fine weather will continue into the evening. It

will turn chilly quickly. We have rain starting to get closer to the

south-west. It won't be until overnight where we see that in parts

of Ireland, Wales, south-west England, a windy and wet start to

the day. Driest for longest in the north-east of Scotland. Eastern

parts of England too. If you are stuck under that rain it will feel

rather cool. If you want to check where that rain is and you are on

the move you can update as you go. Bye for now.

News - more at 10.30. Still can't get over that footage,

just dreadful. We have had some e-mails in. Leighton has responded

to the discussion we were having about the stress parents find

themselves under when they have a child who is ill with cancer. And

e-mails to say the best help is having access to support helper who

can fit in regular and supportive contact. Surely someone said we have

to acknowledge that the stress -- acknowledge the stress and be there

when it gets too hard. And e-mails coming through on the story about

the new EU regulations on vacuum cleaners. Ray has even to say, the

EU is going to have no say in our affairs after 2019, so why conform

to their wins now? Do get in touch with us throughout the morning. If

you text, remember you will be charged at the standard network

rate. Lets see what is happening in the sport.

Football transfer news first, and the final day was as much

about the players who didn't move as those who did.

The window closed last and night and there are some

Premier League clubs spent ?1.4 billion over the summer -

One player who didn't make it was Alexis Sanchez.

His club Arsenal had agreed a ?60 million deal

with Manchester City - contigent on finding a replacement.

But Arsenal were turned down by Monaco's Thomas Lemar

after a ?90 million bid, and so refused to let Sanchez go.

Midfielder Danny Drinkwater did move late last night -

he's gone from Leicester to Chelsea for ?35 million.

That was after Everton's Ross Barkley changed his mind

Well, among all the excitement of deadline day, we shouldn't forget

that it's international week, with all the home nations

involved in World Cup qualifiers this weekend.

Last night England arrived at their camp in Malta ahead

England manager Gareth Southgate says he knows who will take over

from Wayne Rooney as captain, but feels it should not be

We have focused too much on Wayne in particular in the last few years,

and we have got to start building a more resilient group of leaders, and

allowing people to take responsibility. So for me it's not

the most important decision. The more important thing is trying to

build the group into a stronger group that they react in the right

way collectively. In the same group, Scotland badly

need to win in Lithuania, They kick off tonight as well,

four points off the play-off place, But their manager has

confidence in his players. There is a psychology to it, the

information you pass on, so it isn't going to be a Churchill speech that

makes them feel any better, that can work now and then, but in general

you make sure that the players are prepared and feel comfortable. The

amount of training they put into it. And Northern Ireland need

to avoid any mishaps tonight against San Marino for them

to remain on course They're currently second in group C

behind 2014 winners Germany. The world number one and two-time

champion Rafael Nadal is through to the third

round of the US Open overnight. He came through against

Japan's Taro Daniel in four sets. Joining him there will be

Roger Federer, who was pushed all the way for the second time

in three days, this time It's the first time in his career

he's played five set matches in the first two rounds of a Grand

Slam. He'll face Spain's

Feliciano Lopez next. That is all your sport for now. We

will be back with more little later on.

Thank you very much. From today many parents in England

are entitled to 30 hours of free care for children that are three

or four- which is double It depends on the parents

meeting certain criteria. in work and not earning

over ?100,000 a year. But there are a number

of concerns with the system- with some parents complaining

that the application process has not worked,

and nurseries saying they are facing Let's talk to Neil Leitch, chief

executive of the Preschool Learning Alliance, which represents 14,000

members, and Karen Brain, a mum of three whose youngest daughter

is eligible for the free childcare. And Karen, I just wonder whether you

have gone through the application process, how has that been for you?

It has been an absolute nightmare. Last week I was doing the process,

only to be told that even if I did apply, because obviously I had to do

it two weeks before commencing work, I actually commenced my new job at

the beginning of September, the 11th, so I couldn't apply until this

week. I was then advised that even by applying, the five weeks backlog,

and I wouldn't get a code in time for my daughter to be eligible to go

to nursery. So you were facing what you felt was just too much

bureaucracy on this? That's correct. Far too much red tape. Because

obviously I had secured my job, I was trying to apply online, to be

told I couldn't apply until two weeks beforehand. Which then I was

told that there was a five-week backlog, and even if I did apply

before the 31st of August, I wouldn't actually get my code, so my

daughter wouldn't have childcare. That means I am working for nothing.

Which is obviously detrimental. I thought that the Government was

trying to get people from benefits into work, and not put obstacles in

their way. And all I feel is that that is what I have had. It is not

until I have taken it to the media that I have actually had any

response. And what response have you had? The media has been backing me

up 100%. I joined a social media group, explained my situation that I

was in a position where I either take the job and work for nothing,

or if I did work, it would have a detrimental financial restraint on

me, or I don't actually work at all. And I thought that the government

was trying to help people back into employment, and I didn't realise

there was so much red tape and bureaucracy. But the parents'

perspective. Let's get the perspective of the childcare

providers themselves and Neil. What seems to be happening is the need,

the legal requirement to provide these extra hours, is causing some

childcare providers to say they might actually have to close down?

Absolutely. The first thing to say is there is no such thing as free

childcare. At the moment, as you alluded to, every three and

four-year-old is entitled to 15 hours of free childcare for 38 weeks

of the year, but can be spread across the year. But the way that

works for providers is they are able to cross subsidise it by those

parents who take additional hours. So if you take 25 hours, 30 the

moment, 15 hours of those will be at a slightly higher rate so that it

will effectively fund the inadequate funding that comes from the

government. If you remove the ability to do that, then you just

exacerbate the problem. So providers are struggling even further now to

be able to deliver this offer. I don't understand. The Government

tells us we are giving an additional ?1 billion a year by 2019/20. They

are making sure that 15,000 children will benefit from places. So they

are doing their part? Let me just say first of all. More money doesn't

necessarily mean enough money. Why not? Let's look at that ?1 billion.

Five months before this policy basically came out, when Labour were

contemplating offering ten hours of free childcare, so not ten hours,

but 15 hours, the then minister, a Conservative minister, is on record

giving evidence to the House of Lords affordable childcare

committee, and he said, do you know how much this would cost? At least

?1.5 billion. Now in my reckoning, if you then extend it to 15 hours

instead of ten, that comes to ?2.25 billion, so by Government's own

admission, surely there are investing less than 50% of what is

required. So there is a shortfall. I received a letter from the chief

executive of the early childhood council in New Zealand. This country

always quits New Zealanders being a great exemplar. He said to me, a few

years ago, we introduced 20 hours of free childcare. A couple of years

later, the Government dropped the word free, and they dropped the word

free because they realised they couldn't fund it. We are already at

that position. But you do have examples of success stories. In

Northumberland, all the providers in Northumberland signing up to deliver

the 30 hours, so it is working? It doesn't mean it's working. Providers

will sign up to this because they are petrified, frankly, that if they

don't offer the 30 hours, that particular parent will go to

somebody else. They will restrict the number of places that they

offer. They will also have to charge additional extras for things like

lunches and trips, and they will increase the prices to those parents

who do not qualify for the additional 15 hours. That doesn't

mean it is working. Karen, let's just come back to you. What is your

solution, then? Are you going to have to make a choice between

working and continuing down this path, or just deciding not to work?

That's a decision I was thinking about last week. I was beside myself

with worry and stress thinking what am I going to do? Luckily, with the

help of the press and the media which has changed this 360 dedprees,

from not being able to apply, this week I have been able to do an

application over the phone, which has changed since last week. I have

also demonstrated my urgency and it seems to have been saying that on

the 31st, as long as you apply, you will be legible for your free 30

hours and they will backlog. I am lucky because I think without the

help of the media I wouldn't have been able to get the free child care

as quickly as I did. I think I fast-tracked, which a lot of people

probably wouldn't have been able to I am now in a position which has

been confirmed this morning, that my child now has her free child care or

nursery place. Thank you very much for joining us and explaining that

and also thanks to you, Neil. We know from our evaluation that

providers are committed to offering 30 hours and the additional hours

are having a really positive impact on families taking huge pressure off

families finances, that's the Government's opinion of all of this.

You heard one parent's opinion of this.

Breaking news now. Kenya's Supreme Court, you will remember in Kenya

they held a general election recently. The Supreme Court has

overturned the results of last month's presidential elections and

has called for a new election within 60 days. Anne is in Nairobi for us.

What sort of irregularities and what does this mean in an already

troubled political environment? Well, the irregularities, there are

wild celebrations around me, supporters of the opposition

coalition, have come to town to celebrate this very unexpected

judgment of the court. The chief justice said that the Electoral

Commission failed to conduct the elections in accordance with the

constitution and electoral laws and said that the irregularities and

illegalities could not have given a credible result. Therefore, contrary

to what international observers had said, they had said that the

election was free, fair and credible, he said the irregularities

and the ommissions that were committed could not amount to a

credible election. Therefore, said that the presidential elections

specifically was invalid, null and void and people will be going back

to the ballot in another 60 days to elect a new President. This means is

that parliament has already been sworn in so MPs have already been

sworn in and the ruling party has a huge majority in both Houses of

parliament, Senate and the National Assembly, so, it will be interesting

to see what impact the presidential election is going to have on the

other smaller elections, whether they're going to be challenged in

court and using this as a strong precedent. The leader of the

opposition says that the past elections that he has participated

in, four of them, has been stolen from him. This is a welcome reprieve

for his supporters, they are celebrating. Of course in another 60

days they will know indeed if he is the more popular presidential

candidate. A remarkable development there in

Kenya. We will be following that here on BBC News throughout the day

I am sure. For now, from Nairobi, thank you very much.

Still to come: How clean will your house be after the EU bans the sale

of powerful vacuum cleaners? The story of little Alan Kurdi who

dlouned after fleeing Syria shocked the world. You might find the image

distressing especially if you are watching with children, lying face

down in the sand, the picture of Alan drew the world's attention to

the deadly migrant crossings. The image shows a Turkish police officer

carrying the tiny body of the young boy away. Alan's brother and mother

also lost their lives that day. Only his father Abdullah survived. On the

Eve of this second anniversary Tima, Alan's aunt, has been speaking

exclusively to us and has been telling us how she's marking the

anniversary of their deaths. There is a refugee camp there, and for my

brother Abdullah, I can't explain, he will never heal completely. But

every time he goes to the refugee camp and talks to them it gives him

hope and he always look at it as I am going to be the person who can be

the force of those children and give them what I can give them or what he

couldn't do for his own children. From Canada, I decided to open the

Kurdi foundation and it's fairly new, we don't have a charity number

yet. We need to wait. But people can donate. Hopefully we are going to

make it. Alan, the boy on the beach, will never be forgotten. That's an

amazing thing to be doing after you have suffered so much heartache and

grief. You mentioned your brother who clearly isn't coping at all

well. No, I cannot explain it. Just imagine losing your whole family,

not just one, two kids and his wife. It's not easy. But I keep

encouraging him. I keep reminding him that maybe God wants him to do

something and by opening the Kurdi foundation to help those innocent

children who have nothing to do in this world, expect to have a good

life, so I give him hope. Emotionally it's not easy for him.

It's up and down. It's been two years. Emotionally, the pain, and he

is not the only one, there are thousands of families like my

brother. They have the same thing. We see this every day. It's

happening and it's sad, it's sad to see the world, we are just sitting

and watching and not doing enough. Clearly still very affected, of

course. You can see the full interview on our programme page.

Last night the summer of madness came to an end. The total summer

spending by Premier League clubs came to ?1. 4 billion. It beat the

previous highest figure of ?1. 1 billion. The transfer window opened

earlier in the summer and it's the only time that clubs can make

permanent signings until the next opportunity in January. In that

period there's been a load of wheeling and dealing, clubs gazumped

and players and agents becoming even richer. Let's look at some

eye-watering deals. Lukaku moved from Everton to

Manchester United for ?75 million. Morata moved for ?60 million. When

asked why he shaved his head he said it's so children with cancer can

have the same haircut as him. Is it time to acknowledge TV and

broadcasting rights and money powering into the game is good for

football and supporters? Let's talk now to Rachel Anderson

MBE, who's had a long career as a football agent and Alison Bender,

who's a football presenter. She was touring the

stadiums of London until Rachel, I saw you putting your hands

in the air, at frustration or joy? Thrilled. It makes the world go

around. It's so much money. It's not really. We spend billions on arms.

Compared to that, it's nothing. And this is a massive entertainment

industry. Without question. Tell me when we are talking about ?60

million for the sale of a player where does that money go? Well, it

will go from the selling club to the buying club. Plus there will be

other clubs behind he has previously been with and they will get a divvy

up, the FA gets some, the agent might get a pound or two. The

selling club doesn't get the full 60. Not normally. There's normally,

you have to take monies out of it. You have to take commissions out of

it, you have to take taxes out of it, you have to take, for example,

if the player had been with another club for two or three years before

and a decent club, they would be having a bonus, a substantial bonus

out of ?60 million. It's a ridiculous amount of money, though,

it has to be said. For the last six summers, each summer it has

surpassed itself, this broke the record nine days before the window

closed. Neymar is too much? 200 million man, these inflated figures

sound ridiculous but every year it happens. Obviously, the Premier

League rights money has a lot to do with the big spending. Look, he can

head a ball. There he goes, look, that's great! He is one of the best

in world football. Roy Keane joked recently, if David Beckham was still

playing he would be ?1 billion. It's ridiculous. But we do see these

figures going up and up every season. It's a package. It's not

just the football. People forget how much money is made out of the

merchandising and it's not just the fact that he is an incredible

footballer. He also will bring in a large sum of money from sponsors and

merchandising all over the world. You were at the stadium last night,

what were fans making of it? I was at Chelsea and Wembley and ended up

at the Emirates, there was frustration there from fans. They

started thinking we are going to get good money for Sanchez, this is

going to come back into the club. We are going to get Lemar, we are

excited. As the evening went on, they realised that the deal was

falling through. They said it's the same old story. It's Groundhog Day,

they were starting to get frustrated with the manager, as well. It's this

whole almost domino effect. You get one, and the next, if you don't get

the first, you don't get the next. It's like buying a house, you have a

chain. Sometimes it can be five, six players long. That's why some of

them end up coming right to the end day. We focus on the highest paid.

Presumably lower down there are more average footballers still getting a

lot of money. Who suddenly have had to uproot their families and move to

another club because at the last minute they've been shifted

somewhere else. Does that happen? It can happen. But there are financial

benefits by moving as well. Sure. Nobody goes without being

compensated in some way. What it's done, these Crazy Prices, it has

helped the lower leagues, as well, because money does trickle down. To

some extent. Not as much as it should, but it does trickle down. It

keeps the whole industry going. And getting bigger and until people stop

not wanting to be involved or watch football, it will continue. OK. Here

is a question, there is all this money there and all this money

through TV rights and etc, etc, wouldn't it make a lot of sense to

reduce ticket prices a little bit so that more people could afford to go

to see these incredibly well paid football stars?

There has certainly been calls for that, and they have these schemes

like 20th plenty, but it is supply and demand, so many people want to

go, they could charge even more, and it is a shame, because it is pricing

out real football fans who perhaps don't earn these ridiculous

salaries. Neymar can earn an average yearly salary in seven minutes, so

in the time we have been chatting here, basically. But it doesn't

release apprise me any more to be honest, and the other thing about

last night is the deals that didn't happen. So many were set to happen

and could still happen today, because the European window closes

today, so Diego Costa could still leave Chelsea and Philippe Coutinho

could still leave Liverpool. It has always been the way, it is just we

know about it now. Thank you both very much for coming in. Still to

come: The sale of powerful vacuum cleaners is being banned. TV

With the news here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom.

Kenya's Supreme Court has nullified the result of the country's

presidential election. Judges said there were irregularities that harm

to the vote's integrity, and ruled that another election must be held

within 60 days. The result, which saw the incumbent Kenyatta return to

power was challenged by the main opposition alliance, which argued it

was for Gelant. For the first time, in the history of African

democratisation, a ruling has been made by a court nullifying irregular

elections of a president. This is a precedent-setting ruling, very

historical. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Supreme

Court judges led by the Chief Justice for doing this for posterity

From today, vacuum cleaners using more than 900 watts

and emitting more than 80 decibels will be banned when stocks run out

Anti-EU campaigners and cleaning addicts argue that the less powerful

models just don't clean as well - is that true?

We are joined by our environment expert, Roger Howard in, who will

tell us if we can get things just as clean with newer, less powerful

models -- Roger Harrabin, and by Aggie Mackenzie from How Clean Is

Your House? Roger, give us the background on this. The EU has to

cut emissions of carbon dioxide and keep prices down for consumers, so

part of that is forcing manufacturers to make appliances

that do the same job as the old appliances, but with less energy. So

when all these policy started to be introduced, energy bills have

actually gone down, because of the extra energy efficiency, even though

the actual cost of energy has gone up, the bills are less because we

are using less of it. And it is not just vacuum cleaners, it has been

happening with fridges, washing machines... Yes, all appliances

except toasters, because there was around before the Brexit vote, and

civil servants ministers must have had a word with somebody in

Brussels, because the toasters legislation was held back because it

was thought to be too controversial with those evil Europeans who were

now even going to control our toasters.

And I remember talking to somebody in a department store about this who

manages the department store who pointed out that, we're talking

about these labels, the energy efficiency labels, you get a letter,

but now you get a plus, because it really has propelled the industry in

a different direction to get more and more energy efficient. It

absolutely has, we are talking about engineering here, forcing people to

do better engineering, and the idea is that ultimately, consumers will

benefit, we will have to lay fewer electricity cables, generate less

electricity, have a few fewer carbon emissions. Look what they have done

to our carpet! Who has done that? Not very clean at all. We need to

get a vacuum cleaner. Roger, maybe. So, let's see, I am going to have a

go here. What wattage is yours? I have no idea.

Bit rubbish, isn't it? What is your verdict on that one? I give it two

out of ten. This is an old one. What does 180 a what's mean? I have no

idea. This uses a lot of electricity? The number of wattage

in a vacuum cleaner, the higher the wattage is no indicator of how

efficient it will be. It just gives an indication of how much

electricity is being used. What is important is the airflow and the

suction power, and for years, manufacturers have known this was

coming, so they will have been working on technology and design in

order to make vacuum cleaners more efficient for the future. Does yours

work, Roger? Let's give it a go. That is nice and quiet. The other

thing is the decibel Spain, I would say that is vast to superior. That

is very interesting, because technically this should be less

efficient because there is more space for the dust to travel than

this one. Normally uprights are more efficient than cylinders. This is

another old one, so that probably wouldn't be sold any more under the

new legislation. The wattage is the key thing. 1200 watts. So this would

be banned. And what is that the one down there? This is my hand-held at

home. I do like a cordless vacuum cleaner, particularly one to use on

the floor. The great thing about a cordless is you have only got a

certain amount of battery time, see you need to do your job really

quickly, and when the battery runs out, you can't do any more

vacuuming, can you? Is this one of the new ones? It is about two years

old, and it fits the new criteria. Let's see how it works.

I think you are going to be there for ever! I use it for the sofa at

home. It is tiny, but I would say that that was just as good as that.

It has get a smaller area... Interestingly, it is alleged, and I

don't know if this is true or not, but some rather unscrupulous

manufacturers have been bringing appliances into the UK and making

them very high wattage, because people think oh, 1500 watts, that is

powerful, but it has as you said, it has no relationship at all with the

amount of suction. How do you choose a good vacuum cleaner, then? First

of all, are these changes to the rules, I think the conclusion is

that they don't necessarily mean that we are going to have dirtier

homes? Absolutely not, and in terms of a clean home, get everyone to

take their shoes off before they come in. That is the number one

rule. Go to the consumer magazines and look at the section that says

airflow and pick-up efficiency. That is what you want at the end of the

day, how well it picks up. Fantastic. I don't know what we are

going to do about that mass! So far it is only been the woman on her

hands and knees, I think you should do that to prove that a quality is

alive and well in the BBC! After 11 o'clock, I will! I can't believe I

have just used a hoover on air, my mother would be very, very proud

indeed. Now, the Royal Air Force has become

the first branch of the British military to open up every role

to both men and women. From today it will accept

applications from women to join the RAF Regiment -

its ground-fighting force. The move follows a decision last

year to lift the ban on females Let's talk to Air Commodore Frank

Clifford, who is the head of the RAF Regiment

and Group Captain Wendy Rothery Head of RAF Recruiting and Selection -

a woman already working in the RAF. thank you both very much for coming

in. How major step is this? The Defence Secretary said it is a

defining moment for the royal air force as we approach our centenary

next year. All roles are open to everyone regardless of gender,

ethnicity and sexual orientation, so it is a big day. Franklin said, how

long have you been in the military? I have been in the military and the

RAF Regiment for 34 years. And if you think back to 34 years ago,

could you imagine a step like this? 34 years ago, the day I joined, no,

but a lot has changed in society and a lot has changed in the military.

When I joined there were no female pilots, no females serving aboard

ships in the Royal Navy. Society has changed, the world has changed, and

likewise the air force representing the society that we serve is

adapting unchanging to meet the service and the people. Has there

been a fight to get to this stage within the military? My

stereotypical view, it may be as this is unfair, but my stereotypical

view is that the military is a relatively conservative with a small

C part of society. I wouldn't say a struggle so much, but we need to

make sure we operate safely and effectively, and there has been some

research, a lot of research into the medical risks encountered by women,

so we need to make sure that we can mitigate those as far as possible.

Tell us specifically what sort of things you are talking about there?

It is physiologically proven that women have a higher incidence of

musculoskeletal injuries, so damaged ligaments, and joining the RAF

Regiment is quite physically demanding, so we have had to ensure

that we have looked at the medical research to make sure that we are

going to mitigate that risk as far as possible. So that then has a

knock-on impact to a small extent, but a knock-on impact to how the

medical officials and others work, the sort of things that women are

asked to do? Is it the way in which... ? The standard is the

standard, so women will need to demonstrate the ability to operate

at the same level as the men, so it is gender free. The whole aim of

this is to make it absolutely inclusive, it is a gender free

activity, the females and males undertake at the same level. Is

there still some resistance? There will be still some resistance in

society, you said that the military mirrors society. What do you say and

perhaps do to those men who are on these bases who are going to be

protected now by women as well as men, what do you say to them, those

who are concerned about this and say, a woman is not going to be able

to do the job? I would disgree. What can you do if

people harbour those points? It's leadership for those voids and

leading those individuals, making sure third who has changed, why it

is changing and also the proof of the concept, make it work, make it

work for the Royal Air Force and the defence. So, yes, we are the first

to do this. I am proud that we are the first to be doing this within

the Armed Forces. Let's make it work. Lean behind this and get it

going properly. One of the reasons you are here today and one of the

reasons you are talking about this is to publicise the fact you want

more women to apply. We do. How do you go about doing that? This is

obviously a step forward and may be women watching at the moment who say

I didn't know I could and I will apply. Yet that is also something

that society itself will have to get over the fact women are being

specifically asked to apply for jobs like this. The RAF has more than 50

career options available. Women form about 14% at the moment of our

overall force, which may sound low given that women are about 50% of

the population, so we are keen to increase that. And opening up RAF

Regiment roles mean that women can now apply to do any of the roles

that we offer. We are very excited about opening up to a broader pool

of talent. Do you have targets you have set in terms of the numbers you

wish to recruit, the sort of gender balance you wish to get to? Yes, we

do in terms of our intake, our recruiting numbers, we are steadily

increasing the number of women we are bringing into the service. We

have set ourselves a target of 20% by 2020. It's a stretch target, the

others services are looking at 15%. We are already more than 15% in

intake. As a woman in the military, how would you characterise the

change in attitudes towards women in the military over the years? I think

it's been a very positive move. It's not an issue for the youngsters who

are joining the air force, they fully embrace diversity in a way

previous generations didn't. We now have women in very senior roles,

board level, I think young women can see the career opportunities do

exist and they can get to the top of the organisation. All right. Thank

you both very much for coming in. We have had some comments coming in

on the vacuum cleaners. Why don't we ignore the ban and pay the fine like

other EU countries? That's one way of dealing with this. Frank says,

it's interesting to see the new ruling, worse than that is the noise

from garden blowers which carry on constantly where he lives.

Presumably you would like the European Commission to tell us to

cut down on the noise from garden blowers. Andrew says that the EU is

banning powerful cleaners, really it's banning inefficient cleaners.

Peter e-mailed to say I do not understand what the Little England

Brexiteers have against saving money and helping the planet. And an

e-mail, the EU is looking to the forward where energy is at a

premium. There you go. You only have to think back just

a few years ago and you'd be amazed how far we've come in the world

of technology but what will the technological advances

of the future be like, and just how will they

impact on our lives? A new programme on BBC Three

explores how robots are being developed to engage with us

on an emotional level, whether it be in the therapy room,

stop us from being lonely We'll be speaking to two people

who appear in the programme in a moment, but first

let's take a quick look. Rachel's anxiety has affected her

life for almost three years. She's been avoiding everything from trains

to lifts and unfortunately for me today's session is on the 7th floor.

Hope you don't mind me sitting here. She won't be able to see you soon.

The virtual reality experience feels real for people. It's totally

immersive. If you take someone into a situation they've been avoiding

even in their imagination for a long period of time they get that strong

emotional reaction in that situation. I am quickly going to

take you to a relaxing environment. Michael will be guiding Rachel with

traditional therapy methods while she is immersed in the virtual

environment. Once relaxed the game will take over, sending her into a

replica setting of an underground tube.

It's going to take you straight there. Don't be disorientated. How

does it feel as you walk? We can speak now to James Young,

who is the presenter of Can Robots Love Us,

and Rochelle Blisson, Explain why you were using that

virtual reality and how it helped? So, I have an anxiety condition and

it's linked to a fear of being trapped. A lot of people confuse

that with claustrophobia. A couple of years ago I was trapped on a tube

for a brief time. I had a massive anxiety attack and since then I have

pretty much been avoiding everything, public transport, lifts,

even crowds and new buildings, all sorts of things that make me feel

trapped. When I had the chance to appear on this documentary and try

this new therapy, I have tried a lot of different therapies and different

techniques to cope with my anxiety, so I thought why not, let's give it

a try, it's something different. You put on the headset. Yeah. What were

you looking at? So, it does feel like you are in a game at first and

you are looking in this virtual environment, you have headphones on,
