Hello it's Thursday.

0:00:050:00:09

It' 9 o'clock, I'm Chloe Tilley,

welcome to the programme.

0:00:090:00:15

Police investigating

the Grenfell Tower tragedy

0:00:150:00:21

say 70 people and a still-born baby

make up the final death toll.

0:00:210:00:24

Everyone has now been identified.

0:00:240:00:25

We'll have the details.

0:00:250:00:26

Zimbabwe's elderly leader,

Robert Mugabe,

0:00:260:00:28

remains under house

arrest this morning.

0:00:280:00:29

He's being held by the country's

military in what many see as a move

0:00:290:00:32

to stop him handing power

to his wife.

0:00:320:00:37

Jacob Zuma has sent a team from

South Africa to reach out to the

0:00:370:00:41

different leaders here, in the

military, as well as president

0:00:410:00:44

Robert Mugabe, to try to form some

sort of solution. That is what the

0:00:440:00:49

people are waiting for.

0:00:490:00:56

We'll have the latest and find out

what ordinary Zimbabweans

0:00:560:00:58

think of what's going on.

0:00:580:00:59

It's exactly a year since former

professional footballer

0:00:590:01:01

Andy Woodward spoke bravely

about the sexual abuse

0:01:010:01:03

he suffered as a young player.

0:01:030:01:05

Today he's back to tell us if enough

is being done to keep children safe.

0:01:050:01:08

And how a pioneering scheme

could help people who've had cancer

0:01:080:01:11

cope with the fear it might come

back.

0:01:110:01:21

Welcome to the programme,

we're live until 11 this morning.

0:01:220:01:25

The Government says housing

associations will be allowed

0:01:250:01:26

to build more homes,

but will it be enough to bring down

0:01:260:01:29

prices and get more people

on the housing ladder?

0:01:290:01:34

Theresa May says building homes

quickly is her personal mission.

0:01:340:01:38

If you're priced out of home

ownership,

0:01:380:01:39

let us know what measures

would help you most.

0:01:390:01:42

Do get in touch on all the stories

we're talking about this morning,

0:01:420:01:45

If you text, you will be charged

0:01:480:01:53

Our top story today.

0:01:530:01:54

Police believe they have now

found and identified

0:01:540:01:56

the bodies of everyone who died

in the Grenfell Tower fire.

0:01:560:01:58

They put the final number of victims

at 70, including a stillborn baby.

0:01:580:02:01

In the immediate

aftermath of the blaze,

0:02:010:02:03

400 people were listed as missing.

0:02:030:02:04

Police say footage showed 223

people escaping the fire,

0:02:040:02:07

while others were not at home

on the night of the fire

0:02:070:02:09

in June this year.

0:02:090:02:11

They said the search

and identification operation

0:02:110:02:12

had been "meticulous."

0:02:120:02:19

We are hoping to speak with a police

officer from Scotland Yard in the

0:02:240:02:27

next few minutes. In the meantime,

we will head over to the newsroom

0:02:270:02:31

and get the latest.

0:02:310:02:34

The future of Zimbabwe's long time

leader Robert Mugabe

0:02:420:02:44

remains unclear this morning,

0:02:440:02:45

after he was placed under house

arrest by the country's military.

0:02:450:02:51

Two envoys from South Africa have

arrived in the capital Harare

0:02:510:02:53

to try to hold talks

with the 93-year-old

0:02:530:02:56

and with the country's generals

who deny there's been a coup.

0:02:560:02:58

It's been seen by many as a move

to prevent Mr Mugabe's wife Grace

0:02:580:03:02

from succeeding him in power.

0:03:020:03:07

Our correspondent Pumza Fihlani is

folliwing events from Johannesburg.

0:03:070:03:09

There seems to be in efforts to

persuade Robert Mugabe to step aside

0:03:090:03:14

although ZANU-PF says that he is

still in charge, so what is going

0:03:140:03:17

on?

We expect it to be a long day of

talks in Zimbabwe, in its role as

0:03:170:03:27

chair of the region, Jacob Zuma has

sent an envoy to the country to try

0:03:270:03:32

to persuade Robert Mugabe and the

generals that have led the military

0:03:320:03:36

takeover to come to some sort of

agreement. What is not clear is what

0:03:360:03:40

those talks will actually put on

offer. There are rumours that, there

0:03:400:03:47

are conversations about a

power-sharing deal that will take

0:03:470:03:49

the country into next year, and into

the elections next year. Also on

0:03:490:03:54

offer they are talking about an

option for the president to step

0:03:540:03:58

down and the vice president, Emerson

and am, to take over, but at this

0:03:580:04:03

moment, none of that has taken

place, but we understand talks are

0:04:030:04:08

about to take place being led by the

African government. To the very

0:04:080:04:12

install stability. -- Emmerson

Mnangagwa. The nature of that will

0:04:120:04:15

purely depend upon what president

Robert Mugabe sees as a fair process

0:04:150:04:18

out of the crisis he finds himself

in at the moment.

Thank you very

0:04:180:04:24

much for that update.

0:04:240:04:27

Plans to encourage housing

associations to borrow money

0:04:270:04:29

to invest in new homes

will be announced later.

0:04:290:04:35

The government is to wipe

about £70 billion-worth

0:04:350:04:37

of debt from housing associations'

balance sheets, allowing them

0:04:370:04:39

to raise money more cheaply.

0:04:390:04:41

It comes after Theresa May

pledged to kickstart

0:04:410:04:43

a new generation of council house

building last month.

0:04:430:04:45

But Labour said there was no

coherent plan to address

0:04:450:04:47

the "housing crisis".

0:04:470:04:49

The Shadow Chancellor,

John McDonnell, will use a speech

0:04:490:04:51

in London this morning to set out

Labour's spending demands,

0:04:510:04:54

ahead of the Budget next week.

0:04:540:04:55

He'll call for an "emergency

budget" for public services

0:04:550:04:57

and urge the government to make

0:04:570:04:59

a "genuine and decisive

change of course".

0:04:590:05:00

The Conservatives say

Mr McDonnell's plans

0:05:000:05:02

would lead to more debt,

higher taxes, and fewer jobs.

0:05:020:05:12

Thousands of women with previously

untreatable breast cancer

0:05:120:05:14

are to have access to two new drugs.

0:05:140:05:16

The two have been shown

to slow down advanced

0:05:160:05:18

cancer, and can delay

the need for chemotherapy.

0:05:180:05:20

They've been approved

for NHS use in England,

0:05:200:05:22

after it negotiated a price

agreement with the manufacturers.

0:05:220:05:32

The impacts of climate change

are already inevitable,

0:05:330:05:35

even if the world immediately

and radically cuts its carbon

0:05:350:05:37

dioxide emissions,

a new study claims.

0:05:370:05:39

An international research programme

called HELIX says sea

0:05:390:05:41

levels will rise by as much as 50

centimetres by the end

0:05:410:05:43

of the century.

0:05:430:05:45

Its findings are being presented

at the UN climate talks in Germany,

0:05:450:05:47

where world leaders will discuss

the future of the Paris accord,

0:05:470:05:50

the climate change treaty

that the United States says it wants

0:05:500:05:53

to withdraw from.

0:05:530:06:03

The number of guns, drugs and fake

goods being smuggled into the UK

0:06:040:06:07

could rise after Brexit,

unless a "significant" number

0:06:070:06:09

of extra border staff are recruited.

0:06:090:06:10

That's according to a group of MPs.

0:06:100:06:12

The Home Affairs Select Committee

says ministers must draw up

0:06:120:06:20

contingency plans to prevent long

delays at ports and airports

0:06:200:06:22

if customs controls change

when Britain leaves the EU.

0:06:220:06:25

The government says it'll ensure

enough resources are available.

0:06:250:06:31

The World Anti-Doping Agency has

decided to maintain Russia's

0:06:310:06:33

suspension for being noncompliant.

It comes less than three months

0:06:330:06:36

before the Winter Olympics, where

Russia could still face a ban by the

0:06:360:06:38

IOC. Russia was suspended after a

report detailed a state-sponsored

0:06:380:06:40

doping scheme in 2014.

0:06:400:06:45

The social media companies Facebook

and Snapchat are to trial a new

0:06:450:06:47

service offering direct support to

victims of cyberbullying. It's after

0:06:470:06:50

a campaign led by the Duke of

Cambridge, who set up a taskforce

0:06:500:06:52

looking into the issue 18 months

ago. He'll launch a new code of

0:06:520:06:55

conduct for the internet later today

- urging young people to "stop,

0:06:550:06:57

speak and support" each other

online.

0:06:570:07:08

A 500-year-old painting of Christ,

believed to have been created by

0:07:170:07:19

Leonardo da Vinci, has been sold in

New York for a record 400 million

0:07:190:07:22

dollars - that's over 300 milion

pounds. -- $400 million. -- £300

0:07:220:07:24

million.

0:07:240:07:34

The price for Salvator Mundi,

or "Saviour of the World",

0:07:360:07:38

is the highest ever paid

for a work of art.

0:07:380:07:41

Da Vinci died in 1519

and there are fewer than 20

0:07:410:07:43

of his paintings in existence.

0:07:430:07:45

Top story now, police investigating

the Grenfell Tower tragedy, they say

0:07:450:07:49

that 70 people and a stillborn baby

make up the final death toll, I say

0:07:490:07:53

everyone has now been identified.

Our correspondent Tom Burridge is at

0:07:530:07:59

New Scotland Yard.

It has taken the

Met five months to reach this point

0:07:590:08:06

but a few statistics about the

tragedy of Grenfell Tower, the

0:08:060:08:11

police investigation involves tens

of millions of documents that have

0:08:110:08:13

been seized, more than 300 companies

have deemed to have been of

0:08:130:08:23

interest, unprecedented

investigation for the Metropolitan

0:08:230:08:26

Police. I'm pleased to say that

Stuart Cundy joins us. This grim

0:08:260:08:35

figure, five months to come up with

an official death toll, 71 people

0:08:350:08:40

including a stillborn baby, why so

long?

I think, firstly, I have said

0:08:400:08:44

it before, on behalf of myself and

the rest of my colleagues, our

0:08:440:08:51

hearts continue to be with those

affected, I cannot imagine the agony

0:08:510:08:55

of those that have died have gone

through, from Day 1 it has been a

0:08:550:08:58

priority for us to search Grenfell

Tower, find all of those that died,

0:08:580:09:03

recover them with dignity, and

subsequently identify them.

0:09:030:09:12

Yesterday, the last two identities

of those recovered were confirmed to

0:09:120:09:15

the satisfaction of the coroner. I

now know with confidence that the

0:09:150:09:19

number of people who have died as a

result of the fire is 71, including

0:09:190:09:22

a stillborn baby. It has taken so

long because of the sheer challenge

0:09:220:09:28

that Grenfell Tower has placed on

all the emergency services but

0:09:280:09:32

particularly the specialist teams

that we used to recover all those

0:09:320:09:34

that have died. 71 people, and it is

not about a number, it is about the

0:09:340:09:43

people, it has always been at the

heart of what we do. The challenge

0:09:430:09:46

has been immense, we have had

specialist teams work through 15 and

0:09:460:09:50

a half tonnes of debris on each and

every floor of Grenfell Tower, by

0:09:500:09:54

hand, to find every single fragment

they can of all those that have

0:09:540:09:59

died, that has been extremely

distressing to the families and

0:09:590:10:02

indeed to those involved in the

operation.

Your previous estimate

0:10:020:10:06

was roughly 80 people had perished

in the tower, why have you taken the

0:10:060:10:11

figure down and reached this

official death toll of 70, plus the

0:10:110:10:15

stillborn baby?

We have thousands of

calls into the bureau, in June,

0:10:150:10:21

based on all the information and the

families and next of kin that had

0:10:210:10:24

come forward, we projected the

figure might be 80. There is two

0:10:240:10:29

main reasons the number has come

down, and I am confident the final

0:10:290:10:33

number is 71, one reason is we are

investigating a number of fraud

0:10:330:10:39

investigations where individuals

have alleged there is people who

0:10:390:10:42

died within Grenfell Tower. Earlier

this month, one-mile pleaded guilty,

0:10:420:10:46

he said his wife and child had died

within the fire. The thousands of

0:10:460:10:51

calls we receive reported people

missing, one person reported

0:10:510:10:56

missing, 46 separate occasions by

different people. We spent months,

0:10:560:11:02

months, our investigators, trying to

track down each and every one of

0:11:020:11:05

those people, some of those we have

tracked down around the world, we

0:11:050:11:09

are now satisfied they are alive and

well. We are at the final number, it

0:11:090:11:13

is 71 people.

What do you say to

people who are still sceptical,

0:11:130:11:18

because there was a lot of

scepticism within the community in

0:11:180:11:22

the days, weeks and months following

the tragedy, what do you say to

0:11:220:11:25

someone today that is still

questioning this official figure?

0:11:250:11:30

The work we have done as our

investigation, not just the recovery

0:11:300:11:35

operation, but we are very

fortunate, we have CCTV images of

0:11:350:11:38

all those who came out, only one way

in and out of the tower, and footage

0:11:380:11:42

of everybody who came out of the

tower on the night. We have video

0:11:420:11:48

footage from police officers. We

have concluded that work. 223 people

0:11:480:11:53

came out of Grenfell Tower and

survived, which is tremendous that

0:11:530:11:56

so many did come out of such an

awful and horrific fire. With

0:11:560:12:01

confidence I can say that 223 people

were in the tower that night, not

0:12:010:12:07

all of them were residents, some

were visitors, some residents were

0:12:070:12:10

not in the tower on the night. With

confidence in terms of those we have

0:12:100:12:14

recovered we can say it is 71 that

have died, those 71 were the people

0:12:140:12:19

we were expecting to find. When I

went into Grenfell Tower, a few days

0:12:190:12:24

after the fire, after it had been

put out, having seen it with my own

0:12:240:12:28

eyes, I honestly thought that it was

likely we would not find everybody

0:12:280:12:33

who had died. I'm so pleased for the

families and the loved ones of all

0:12:330:12:37

those that died that we have been

able to find all those who died,

0:12:370:12:42

recover them, identify them, return

as much as we possibly can back to

0:12:420:12:47

families.

Thank you very much for

joining us, difficult and sensitive

0:12:470:12:52

work for your team, good luck with

that. The police investigation is

0:12:520:12:56

very much ongoing, hugely complex

investigation, looking at lots of

0:12:560:13:01

potential different parties, and

that investigation will probably

0:13:010:13:06

continue for a long time still to

come.

Thank you very much.

0:13:060:13:17

Do get in touch with us

throughout the morning,

0:13:170:13:23

use the hashtag Victoria LIVE,

and if you text, you will be charged

0:13:230:13:26

at the standard network rate.

0:13:260:13:27

We will talk about the BBC's annual

business price study.

Some good

0:13:270:13:31

news, some bad news, the price of

football server, we take several

0:13:310:13:36

large surveys and speak to well over

200 clubs across Britain, some of

0:13:360:13:40

the outcomes may surprise you. Three

years in a row, ticket prices have

0:13:400:13:46

frozen or have fallen, across the

vast majority of clubs. But young

0:13:460:13:49

people have been central to some of

the more striking and less positive

0:13:490:13:52

outcomes this year, let's take a

look at some of them, we spoke with

0:13:520:13:57

1018 to

0:13:570:13:58

look at some of them, we spoke with

1018 to 24-year-olds living in

0:13:580:14:00

Britain and a huge 82% said the cost

of football was an obstacle to them

0:14:000:14:05

going to matches. -- we spoke with

1000 18 to 24-year-olds. Only 4% of

0:14:050:14:13

season tickets were bought by young

adults. More is being asked of clubs

0:14:130:14:18

to engage with young fans.

0:14:180:14:22

If you look at the

0:14:410:14:43

If you look at the average age of a

season holder, it is still in the

0:14:430:14:46

mid-40s. Really, that is a

generation, my generation, that go

0:14:460:14:53

to matches regularly, still in the

habit now, but actually, the next

0:14:530:14:58

generation don't go regularly

because they don't have access, or

0:14:580:15:03

affordability issues. When they get

to our age, when we have moved on

0:15:030:15:07

and we are not going any more,

that's next wave of fans will not be

0:15:070:15:11

there.

0:15:110:15:13

You can find all you need to know

about the price of football study on

0:15:130:15:16

the website.

0:15:160:15:17

I wanted to talk about Russia's

chances of getting to the Winter

0:15:260:15:30

Olympics.

Looking slim. That's

right, four Russian athletes and

0:15:300:15:37

there are chances of taking part in

the Winter Olympics, very slim,

0:15:370:15:42

apparently the Russian federation

still not compliant with the anti

0:15:420:15:49

doping regulations. Why has this

happen? Essentially, an independent

0:15:490:15:55

compliance review committee took a

look into further the necessary

0:15:550:15:58

steps have been taken to lift the

ban on their athletes competing, you

0:15:580:16:01

will remember many of them missed

out in Rio de Janeiro, it is

0:16:010:16:07

understood Russia still refused to

admit to a state-sponsored doping

0:16:070:16:11

programme and that rather key, they

will not allow access to many of the

0:16:110:16:14

symbols they have in their Moscow

anti doping laboratory to be seen by

0:16:140:16:19

the World Anti-Doping Agency. That

will be key, we will see in time

0:16:190:16:23

whether they manage to get their

athletes back competing soon.

Thank

0:16:230:16:28

you. We will catch up with you

throughout the morning.

0:16:280:16:32

So the armed forces have seized

control and Zimbabwe's long-time

0:16:320:16:35

leader Robert Mugabe remains under

house arrest with his

0:16:350:16:37

future role uncertain.

0:16:370:16:38

But was it a coup which is when

power is seized from a government?

0:16:380:16:41

The military insists not

but the world remains unconvinced.

0:16:410:16:51

The country was left stunned

0:16:520:16:54

after the army took power on Tuesday

and confined the 93-year-old

0:16:540:16:56

veteran leader, once seen

as a liberation hero,

0:16:560:16:58

to his home.

0:16:580:16:59

Soldiers took control of the state

broadcaster and had this to say:

0:16:590:17:03

We wish to assure the nation that

his Excellency, the President of the

0:17:030:17:07

Republic of Zimbabwe and Commander

in Chief of the Zimbabwe defence

0:17:070:17:14

forces, comrades Robert Mugabe and

his family are safe and sound and

0:17:140:17:20

there are security is guaranteed. We

are only targeting criminals around

0:17:200:17:26

him. Who are committing crimes that

are causing social and economic

0:17:260:17:33

suffering in the country in order to

bring them to justice.

The so-called

0:17:330:17:46

criminals are widely thought to

refer to

0:17:460:17:50

The so-called criminals

are widely thought to

0:17:500:17:52

Mr Mugabe's much younger

and controversial wife Grace -

0:17:520:17:54

she's made no secret of wanting

to take power.

0:17:540:17:56

Nicknamed 'Gucci Grace'

by her critics over her love

0:17:560:17:58

for designer labels,

she is 41 years her

0:17:580:18:00

husband's junior.

0:18:000:18:01

She's now reportedly

fled to Namibia.

0:18:010:18:03

Her rival for the succession

was Mugabe's deputy

0:18:030:18:05

Emerson Mnan-gagwa who was sacked

by the Zimbabwe President last week

0:18:050:18:08

- a man popular and respected

by Zimbabwe veterans.

0:18:080:18:10

So Zimbabweans now face an uncertain

future and are playing

0:18:280:18:32

a waiting game to see

what happens next.

0:18:320:18:34

Mugabe is the only President

the country has known

0:18:340:18:39

for the past 37 years -

0:18:390:18:49

he's ruled Zimbabwe with an iron

0:18:490:18:51

grip since it gained independence

from the UK in 1980 -

0:18:510:18:53

to his fans, he's a nationalist hero

who liberated the nation from white

0:18:530:18:56

rule - to his many enemies,

he's a brutal dictator who ruled

0:18:560:18:59

by fear and ruined his country.

0:18:590:19:01

We can chat about the ongoing

situation now with Zenzale

0:19:010:19:09

Ndebele, who lives in

a city called Bulawayo

0:19:090:19:13

in Zimbabwe; Richard Dowden,

who's been writing about Zimbabwe

0:19:130:19:17

for decades and is the director

of the Royal Africa Society;

0:19:170:19:19

Priscilla Misihairabwi,

an opposition MP who was in Harare

0:19:190:19:22

yesterday as the military

moved in and Jason Burke,

0:19:220:19:24

the Africa Editor at The Guardian.

0:19:240:19:28

you are a couple of hours ahead of

us in is badly, it is mid-morning,

0:19:280:19:33

give us a sense of whether people

are going about their normal

0:19:330:19:36

day-to-day business.

Basically

things are quiet, soldiers in the

0:19:360:19:43

streets, roadblocks manned by

soldiers. The highways that are

0:19:430:19:51

leading out to Bulawayo. The road

that leads to South Africa, there is

0:19:510:19:56

a road block and loss of sound that

is the city is generally quiet.

0:19:560:20:07

Those sites of soldiers in the

streets.

You have a slightly

0:20:070:20:11

scratchy Skype line, we will try and

clean that up, Priscilla, in Harare

0:20:110:20:16

today.

Perhaps it is a little

different from Bulawayo, we still

0:20:160:20:25

have soldiers at strategic points.

In Parliament, there are soldiers.

0:20:250:20:32

And the head office, the

headquarters and the number of

0:20:320:20:39

ministers like foreign affairs are

housed and of course, on the

0:20:390:20:44

highway, you still have soldiers

manning roadblocks.

Jason, tell us,

0:20:440:20:50

I know you have spoken to lots of

people about how they are feeling in

0:20:500:20:55

Harare. Do you get a sense people

are pleased about what's happened or

0:20:550:20:59

is there a sense of nervousness?

I

have been in and out of Zimbabwe

0:20:590:21:04

several times in the last month, the

fact that most people I speak to in

0:21:040:21:09

Harare are expressing a degree of

relief comes as no surprise. The

0:21:090:21:15

situation over the last years in

Zimbabwe has been really dire,

0:21:150:21:20

economic league, primarily but also

from a political perspective. People

0:21:200:21:26

are just very happy there is now the

possibility that things might

0:21:260:21:34

change. Outside Zimbabwe a lot of

people are talking about democratic

0:21:340:21:38

process, governments and

constitutions, inside Zimbabwe they

0:21:380:21:41

are talking about the economy. A lot

of people, unemployed who have been

0:21:410:21:48

unemployed for a long time, they are

looking for some kind of hope that

0:21:480:21:51

things will turn around. Quite who

brings it to them is secondary issue

0:21:510:21:56

at the moment.

Richard, they are

very keen in Zimbabwe, the party of

0:21:560:22:04

Robert Mugabe and the military to

say this is not a coup but explain

0:22:040:22:08

to people via this is happening,

this isn't necessarily going against

0:22:080:22:12

Robert Mugabe, this is Grace Mugabe?

Robert Mugabe, now 93-94 loses it

0:22:120:22:20

every so often, you can see in

speeches he wanders off, falls

0:22:200:22:26

asleep, she has stepped in and tried

to take over, really, and that's

0:22:260:22:30

what worried the Army. I think where

we go from here, I'm not sure but

0:22:300:22:39

it's the fact he's not able to rule

the country any more and I think the

0:22:390:22:46

military just felt there's got to be

a change. But they didn't do it like

0:22:460:22:51

they do in most African countries,

where a general steps up and says I

0:22:510:22:56

am the new President. They are much

more concerned to make a

0:22:560:23:01

constitutional, inclusive, this is

quite a wise move and they aren't

0:23:010:23:05

not saying they haven't... They have

just let him go home. Grace Mugabe

0:23:050:23:11

who is behind all of this and has

been using his weakness to try and

0:23:110:23:16

impose her people and I think

succeed him and I think that's what

0:23:160:23:23

the Army does not like and I ink

most Zimbabweans do not like.

Jason

0:23:230:23:30

from, but this is not to be seen as

a coup, surely it requires Robert

0:23:300:23:38

Mugabe to stand up and say I am

standing aside and there will be an

0:23:380:23:41

election or someone else within the

party is going to be put forward?

0:23:410:23:45

Absolutely and that is where we are

at the moment, I understand talks or

0:23:450:23:50

ongoing between the military and

Mugabe. The only card that Mugabe

0:23:500:23:57

has to play is that one, he is the

only person who can resign in a way

0:23:570:24:05

that looks constitutional, past the

bat and, if you like, to Emerson,

0:24:050:24:12

the Vice President he fired last

week. Saying he is now retiring from

0:24:120:24:18

public life and that he is doing

this for the benefit of the nation,

0:24:180:24:22

or some simpler form of that. If he

does that it looks like an internal

0:24:220:24:26

party issue that has been carefully

mediated in a forceful way by the

0:24:260:24:34

military. All in-line with the use

of the ruling party and the heroes

0:24:340:24:42

of the independence movement. If he

doesn't and he has to be forced out

0:24:420:24:47

or somehow retired in a way that

does not look constitutional, then

0:24:470:24:53

the Army are going to carry out a

military takeover.

Let's head back

0:24:530:25:03

to Zimbabwe. We have cleared up

those communication lines,

0:25:030:25:06

Priscilla, do you agree that's what

has to happen, Robert Mugabe has to

0:25:060:25:11

hand over power for this to be

accepted?

Definitely. He needs to

0:25:110:25:18

hand over power. There is an issue

we need to deal with. In spite of

0:25:180:25:28

what the military is seen, it is, it

is a military coup but however, I

0:25:280:25:34

agree with the earlier comments,

when the military took over the one

0:25:340:25:42

thing that some of us were happy

about was that they spoke about the

0:25:420:25:49

need to adhere to the Constitution.

In fact, when the general came on

0:25:490:25:54

and made his statement he truly...

Loss of sound... To protect the

0:25:540:26:05

people of Zimbabwe and the

constitution. For what he is insane

0:26:050:26:13

to us now is how do we hold the

military to the things that they

0:26:130:26:18

have said? If they are going to be

inspecting the constitution we have

0:26:180:26:21

to make sure that we can go back to

the ruler of law and the lost a

0:26:210:26:28

manned by the military that is

imposing in the street, we

0:26:280:26:34

understand this is a dire situation,

things were done not in a normal

0:26:340:26:39

way, some of us would have been

democratically active, that does not

0:26:390:26:43

mean that we...

Forgive me if

jumping in, your Skype line is

0:26:430:26:52

jumping so slightly. What would you

like to see happen now in the

0:26:520:26:56

country?

I want to agree entirely

with Priscilla, my programme right

0:26:560:27:02

now is that people will say, it was

not a clue. Bruce was a coup! If it

0:27:020:27:12

looks like a duck and quacks like a

duck than it then it is a duck. You

0:27:120:27:23

keep talking about the former Vice

President coming back to take power,

0:27:230:27:27

for him to come back that means

something needs to be regulated, he

0:27:270:27:32

needs to be accepted back into the

party. If he comes to government

0:27:320:27:38

Robert Mugabe needs to rescind his

decision, otherwise the Army takes

0:27:380:27:45

over, puts in a puppet government

and pretends it's constitutional.

0:27:450:27:50

The roadblocks manned by the

soldiers, how long are they going to

0:27:500:27:53

be mistreated? We are rested, the

Minister that we hear, reaching a

0:27:530:28:04

point, the constitution of Zimbabwe,

we think for 48 hours they are

0:28:040:28:07

supposed to be taking him to Court.

I don't think anyone should be

0:28:070:28:11

overexcited and forget to look at

the human rights, this human rights

0:28:110:28:15

are observed... We are approaching

almost 48 hours now. Who is

0:28:150:28:26

currently in charge?

We will watch

with interest. Thank you all for

0:28:260:28:33

speaking to us. I appreciate you

taking the time to talk to us today.

0:28:330:28:40

Still to come...

0:28:400:28:42

It's a year since Andy Woodward made

the decision to go public

0:28:420:28:45

about the abuse he suffered

as a child at the hands

0:28:450:28:47

of his football coach,

now he's back to talk to us

0:28:470:28:50

about how speaking out

has changed his life.

0:28:500:28:52

What happens when you've been given

the all clear from cancer

0:28:520:28:55

but you can't shake feelings

of sadness and anxiety

0:28:550:28:57

and you don't understand why?

0:28:570:28:58

We'll talk about a new therapy

to help cancer survivors look

0:28:580:29:01

after their mental health.

0:29:010:29:02

Time for the latest

news - here's Annita.

0:29:060:29:13

The headlines and BBC News. Police

say they now think they have found

0:29:130:29:19

and identified the bodies of

everyone who died in the Grenfell

0:29:190:29:22

Tower tragedy. The number of victims

are at 71 including a stillborn

0:29:220:29:26

baby. In the immediate aftermath 400

people were listed as missing,

0:29:260:29:30

police say footage so 223 people

escaping the firefight lovers were

0:29:300:29:35

not at home on the night of the fire

in June this year. They said the

0:29:350:29:39

search and identification operation

had been meticulous.

When I went

0:29:390:29:43

into Grenfell Tower Sundays after

the fire, that had been put out,

0:29:430:29:48

having seen it with my own eyes I

honestly thought that it was likely

0:29:480:29:53

we would not find everybody who had

eyed and I am so pleased for the

0:29:530:29:57

families, the loved ones of all

those who died that we have been

0:29:570:30:02

able to find all those who died,

recover them, identify them, return

0:30:020:30:06

as much as we possibly can back to

their families.

0:30:060:30:09

The future of Zimbabwe's long time

leader Robert Mugabe

0:30:090:30:11

remains unclear this morning,

0:30:110:30:12

after he was placed under house

arrest by the country's military.

0:30:120:30:15

Two envoys from South Africa have

arrived in the capital Harare

0:30:150:30:17

to try to hold talks

with the 93-year-old

0:30:170:30:19

and with the country's generals

who deny there's been a coup.

0:30:190:30:22

It's been seen by many as a move

to prevent Mr Mugabe's wife Grace

0:30:220:30:25

from succeeding him in power.

0:30:250:30:27

Plans to encourage housing

associations to borrow money

0:30:350:30:37

to invest in new homes

will be announced later.

0:30:370:30:39

The government is to wipe

about £70 billion-worth

0:30:390:30:41

of debt from housing associations'

balance sheets, allowing them

0:30:410:30:43

to raise money more cheaply.

0:30:430:30:44

It comes after Theresa May

pledged to kickstart

0:30:440:30:46

a new generation of council house

building last month.

0:30:460:30:49

But Labour said there was no

coherent plan to address

0:30:490:30:51

the "housing crisis".

0:30:510:31:01

Missing explorer Benedict Allen has

been cited alive in Papua New

0:31:200:31:23

Guinea.

0:31:230:31:32

A 500-year-old painting of Christ,

believed to have been created

0:31:320:31:35

by Leonardo da Vinci,

has been sold in New York

0:31:350:31:37

for a record 400 million dollars -

that's over 300 milion pounds.

0:31:370:31:40

-- $400 million.

0:31:400:31:41

-- £300 million.

0:31:410:31:42

The price for Salvator Mundi,

or "Saviour of the World",

0:31:420:31:44

is the highest ever paid

for a work of art.

0:31:440:31:47

Da Vinci died in 1519

and there are fewer than 20

0:31:470:31:49

of his paintings in existence.

0:31:490:31:56

Russia's hopes of competing at the

Winter Olympics in February have

0:32:000:32:03

been dealt a blow today after the

world anti-doping agency ruled the

0:32:030:32:07

country is still noncompliant with

the code, Russia had been suspended

0:32:070:32:14

since 2015 after a doping programme

was uncovered. Mark Stoneman will be

0:32:140:32:20

top of the batting order, scoring a

sentry on day two of England's final

0:32:200:32:24

warm up game, you might remember the

groovy and Sharman from yesterday,

0:32:240:32:31

they have claimed the final place at

the World Cup next year, they have

0:32:310:32:34

beaten New Zealand, 2-0. -- shaman.

0:32:340:32:41

It's a year to the day since the

former professional footballer Andy

0:32:440:32:46

Woodward appeared live on this

programme to talk about the sexual

0:32:460:32:49

abuse he suffered as a young player

in the 1990s. This was him speaking

0:32:490:32:51

to Victoria on November 16th last

year.

0:32:510:33:01

I think that any person that has

suffered abuse and rape etc, will

0:33:010:33:10

hopefully understand where I come

from when I say this, the impact it

0:33:100:33:13

has had on my life is catastrophic,

and you live with that all your

0:33:130:33:19

life, and I cannot put it into

words, what that has done to me, but

0:33:190:33:24

other people out there will

understand what it does to you.

0:33:240:33:30

Everyone always said to me, how do

you cope, how do you deal, we

0:33:300:33:34

survive, and that is it.

0:33:340:33:44

His appearance on this programme and

in the Guardian newspaper encouraged

0:33:440:33:46

others to come forward. Police

forces around the country have now

0:33:460:33:48

received calls or information. --

have now received calls or

0:33:480:33:58

information from 784 victims of

abuse connected to football. 285

0:33:580:33:59

suspects have been identified and

331 clubs have been impacted from

0:33:590:34:02

Premier League to amateur level. The

age range for victims at the time of

0:34:020:34:05

the abuse runs from four years old

up to 20 years old. A number of

0:34:050:34:08

clubs have now opened their own

investigations into what happened

0:34:080:34:10

and whether they did enough to

protect young players. The Football

0:34:100:34:12

Association has also started its own

independent inquiry into the sexual

0:34:120:34:14

abuse scandal led by a senior

lawyer. That is expected to report

0:34:140:34:16

back around Easter next year. A

similar inquiry has been launched by

0:34:160:34:19

the Scottish FA.

0:34:190:34:26

We can speak with Andy now, thank

you for coming back. I can't imagine

0:34:260:34:32

how hard it is for you to look back

at that interview when you were

0:34:320:34:35

talking last year, it must seem like

more than one year ago.

Quite

0:34:350:34:39

emotional, watching it back, because

it has been a really difficult year.

0:34:390:34:46

I'm thinking back now, with the

numbers you have read out, I am

0:34:460:34:49

really proud that I did speak out

and I was the first to talk about

0:34:490:34:53

this, but it has been a difficult 12

months to say the least. Ypres when

0:34:530:35:03

what it has been like, when you took

that incredibly difficult decision,

0:35:030:35:06

you could not have possibly known

the impact it was going to have on

0:35:060:35:10

your life.

-- explain what it has

been like.

I knew that there was a

0:35:100:35:15

number of expires out there, but I

did not foresee the difficulties I

0:35:150:35:22

have had. -- ex players out there.

Some people have felt let down by

0:35:220:35:28

certain individuals, it has affected

my relationship, my previous

0:35:280:35:33

relationships, in terms of the

devastating effect it has had on my

0:35:330:35:37

children, my family, but I have kept

the strength to continue, and there

0:35:370:35:42

has been difficult times, there

really has. But I have continued

0:35:420:35:46

with that, with that in a passion

that I have got to help children in

0:35:460:35:52

the future.

You talk about that, you

have your own children, has it been

0:35:520:35:57

hard for them in particular?

It has

been very difficult for them because

0:35:570:36:01

of everything that has happened, it

has affected my children, I won't

0:36:010:36:08

lie to you.

Do you take strength

from the fact that those numbers,

0:36:080:36:13

foot At The Races 700 people have

come forward, 285 suspects, is that

0:36:130:36:19

what keeps you going? -- fact that

those numbers, more than 700 people

0:36:190:36:25

have come forward.

I'm all about

positivity, I want a positive

0:36:250:36:29

outlook for the future, I have

several projects I have been doing

0:36:290:36:34

over the last 12 months, one of them

being that I have met a female

0:36:340:36:38

called Kelly Walsh, we have a

positivity Power movement, focused

0:36:380:36:42

around children. I'm doing things,

I'm trying to make a positive future

0:36:420:36:49

for the next generation going

through, and that is so important in

0:36:490:36:52

terms of what I have been trying to

say. 12 months ago, with Greg Clark

0:36:520:36:58

and the FA, I said what the vision

was.

Have you had much support from

0:36:580:37:04

within football, because we are all

aware of what a Matt Schaub culture

0:37:040:37:08

it can be, and how lots of banter,

and manliness. -- Matt -- macho

0:37:080:37:21

culture. How has football cared for

you over the last year?

I will be

0:37:210:37:28

honest with you, football has not

done enough, we are one year on, I

0:37:280:37:36

have had numerous meetings with

them, some of them have been

0:37:360:37:39

negative. But it is one year on and

a year has passed without any

0:37:390:37:47

significant changes. It is

disappointing to say that. But I

0:37:470:37:56

have had a meeting with the FA,

briefly, yesterday, and I discussed

0:37:560:38:02

some things with them and I hope

that in the future, we can strive to

0:38:020:38:06

make those significant changes.

What

are the changes you want to see that

0:38:060:38:11

the FA has the power to bring about?

I have discussed it numerous times

0:38:110:38:15

with them, a holistically and, I met

them in June, it is all around

0:38:150:38:22

making that significant change and

it has to happen now. I just hope

0:38:220:38:26

that they will listen to me this

time. I have also met with and

0:38:260:38:31

spoken to the sports minister,

Tracey Crouch, she is fully behind

0:38:310:38:35

what I'm trying to achieve with

this.

I want to read some of the

0:38:350:38:40

statement the FA sent to us when

they knew that we were speaking with

0:38:400:38:43

you this morning, they say, one year

on, we acknowledge the bravery who

0:38:430:38:46

have broken their silence, they say

they have redoubled their efforts to

0:38:460:38:50

ensure that every child and young

person as a safe fun experience

0:38:500:38:54

playing or participating and

survivors of football related abuse

0:38:540:38:58

remain able to access the

therapeutic support with sporting

0:38:580:39:03

chance, they talk about the

independent review, due to report at

0:39:030:39:06

Easter. Is that enough?

It is not

enough, and I have discussed in a

0:39:060:39:12

private meeting what needs to

happen. Just a few weeks ago, and

0:39:120:39:18

this has spurred me on even more, I

am even more determined is out, more

0:39:180:39:23

passionate, just a few weeks ago in

Parliament, what was said by Mr

0:39:230:39:27

Clark upset me.

Explain that, for

people who did not hear that

0:39:270:39:32

evidence.

He spoke out in Parliament

and discussed about a private

0:39:320:39:37

meeting I had with him last year,

and made reference to a former

0:39:370:39:42

player crying like a baby... That

deeply upset me. So I needed to

0:39:420:39:47

explain that to him that it had

upset me, and I am more determined

0:39:470:39:51

now than I have ever been, more

positive now about a positive

0:39:510:39:55

future, that I will continue, with

the support from the sports

0:39:550:39:59

Minister, to make this significant

change now. It needs to happen now,

0:39:590:40:04

we cannot wait until the end of this

independent review. A year ago I

0:40:040:40:07

said about what the vision was

making positive changes. They need

0:40:070:40:12

to happen now. I'm so determined to

make that happen.

You say you have

0:40:120:40:17

spoken with the sports Minister, it

was yesterday that you spoke to her

0:40:170:40:22

and she is very supportive, what is

it that she is going to do, how will

0:40:220:40:26

she get involved?

It was a private

conversation but she has said that

0:40:260:40:31

she is going to speak and meet with

Greg Clark in the future, to discuss

0:40:310:40:35

the matters.

0:40:350:40:39

You think children are safe in the

game today than they were one year

0:40:390:40:45

ago?

Personally, after doing all the

studies and research and the groups

0:40:450:40:49

of people that have supported me

over the last year, I do not believe

0:40:490:40:54

that it is a safer place than one

year ago. But I have the tools and

0:40:540:40:58

the knowledge and the understanding

and also the groups of people around

0:40:580:41:03

me that can make that change now,

and will make it, a much safer place

0:41:030:41:09

for children because that is what it

is all about. This cannot happen

0:41:090:41:15

again, what happened all them years

ago, to all these players, this

0:41:150:41:18

cannot happen again.

What would you

say to parents watching this and

0:41:180:41:24

thinking, how do I know if my child

is safe now? Can you give them any

0:41:240:41:31

advice?

It is difficult, on live

television, to explain, but that is

0:41:310:41:35

one of the key areas that I do want

to fill trade out to football clubs,

0:41:350:41:40

to give them an understanding of

what to look out for. I am equipped

0:41:400:41:44

to do that. Having a number of years

of abuse, a number of years of

0:41:440:41:50

mental health issues, and mental

health and well-being is another

0:41:500:41:55

fundamental thing in football, and

in all sports and all walks of life,

0:41:550:41:58

that needs to change.

You have had

an incredibly tough year since you

0:41:580:42:04

were here, I know that you lost your

father a few months ago as well,

0:42:040:42:09

which was another thing for you to

deal with, difficult year.

It has

0:42:090:42:14

been, and I said last year that my

father was proud of me, and I needed

0:42:140:42:19

him to be proud and let go of that

feeling, you know, they were so

0:42:190:42:26

devastated with what happened to me.

He passed away in August, that has

0:42:260:42:30

been difficult. He had motoneuron

disease, I don't think enough is

0:42:300:42:33

done for that disease, because it is

crippling, one of the worst things I

0:42:330:42:37

have ever seen, watching my father

disappear. I would love to support

0:42:370:42:42

any organisations that do all the

work they are doing for motoneuron

0:42:420:42:47

disease, because it really is

devastating.

Also, I want to ask you

0:42:470:42:53

before you go, if you could turn

back the clock, one year ago, would

0:42:530:43:00

you do it all again, knowing what

you have been through in this last

0:43:000:43:03

year?

After seeing the numbers, as

much as it has had a massive effect

0:43:030:43:08

on my relationship and my family,

and people letting me down... I am

0:43:080:43:14

so proud of myself for doing it it

has gone global, across the world,

0:43:140:43:20

people now, we have a voice, people

in America speaking out, in

0:43:200:43:25

Parliament, people have that courage

to speak out and that is what I am

0:43:250:43:28

proud of. I will continue to be

proud of it and I will do this, I

0:43:280:43:33

will, because it is my life. I was

put on this planet to make a change.

0:43:330:43:39

One year from now, what you want to

see change, what realistically do

0:43:390:43:43

you think can have been changed?

A

positive future for children, that

0:43:430:43:48

is it, I am equipped with every tool

in the box to do that, and I hope

0:43:480:43:52

the FA and Greg Clark see that I am

that person to make this change and

0:43:520:43:57

do this for the future of the game,

because it is needed. I have

0:43:570:44:01

everything inside me plus the

fashion that I will make that change

0:44:010:44:06

for them.

Thank you so much for

coming on, thank you for your

0:44:060:44:10

bravery.

I'm sorry for getting

emotional.

Do not ever apologise for

0:44:100:44:14

getting emotional.

0:44:140:44:18

When you've been given

the all clear from cancer,

0:44:180:44:20

how can you overcome the fear

that the disease might,

0:44:200:44:22

at some point, come back?

0:44:220:44:23

We'll hear more about how cancer

survivors can stay on top

0:44:230:44:26

of their mental health.

0:44:260:44:31

Getting the all-clear when you've

had cancer is always

0:44:330:44:35

going to be good news,

but despite this, some

0:44:350:44:37

patients report lingering

feelings of anxiety,

0:44:370:44:38

isolation, even post-traumatic

stress disorder after their

0:44:380:44:40

treatment has finished.

0:44:400:44:41

Now a new project led

by Queen Mary University

0:44:410:44:43

of London is investigating

whether talking-based

0:44:430:44:45

therapies could help them.

0:44:450:44:52

If pilots in London and Sheffield

are successful, the treatment

0:44:520:44:54

could be rolled out to other areas.

0:44:540:44:59

Here to talk to us about it now

is the lead researcher,

0:44:590:45:05

Professor Stephen Taylor,

alongside Patrick Williams,

0:45:050:45:06

Adrienne Morgan and Faye Morey

who have all struggled mentally

0:45:060:45:08

after cancer treatment.

0:45:080:45:15

Apologies, I do not know who each of

you are, so do apologise as you come

0:45:150:45:19

in.

0:45:190:45:20

Say, is it your birthday today? It

is. Someone did tell me. Happy

0:45:300:45:36

birthday. Tell me, when you become

cancer free, how do you then feel?

0:45:360:45:46

It's quite hard and quite lonely as

well. You have basically had all

0:45:460:45:52

these people and all this support

and this whirlwind of emotion, and

0:45:520:45:58

then you finish treatment and it's

really hard. Personally for me, I

0:45:580:46:02

felt I wanted to get back into

normal life. The cause of the cancer

0:46:020:46:07

and treatment and fatigue, I

couldn't really do that. It caused

0:46:070:46:12

quite bad anxiety and not I wanted

to get back into normal life but had

0:46:120:46:16

to do it slowly, I pushed myself and

it did and really go the way I

0:46:160:46:21

wanted to and I ended up getting

panic attacks and anxiety and it was

0:46:210:46:25

really hard.

Patrick, for about you,

you had cancer six times. Yes. What

0:46:250:46:32

on earth does that do to your mental

health if nothing else?

I can tell

0:46:320:46:39

you at one time I did not want to

live any more because every time

0:46:390:46:45

when someone would come and tell me,

by the way, we found something

0:46:450:46:49

again, it took that much more away

from me and I felt as if my whole

0:46:490:46:53

world was caving in all the time.

I've had panic attacks, terrible

0:46:530:46:59

dreams, waking up in a hot sweat and

crying for no reason, just in

0:46:590:47:03

public. I just thought I had to do

something and I must do something.

0:47:030:47:10

My support structure was Macmillan,

they helped me quite a bit but

0:47:100:47:16

unfortunately with all services like

a lot of these, it's limited to the

0:47:160:47:20

resources and there weren't any

other resources outside that to help

0:47:200:47:23

me through the rest so I had to do

this by myself.

Adrienne, how did

0:47:230:47:30

you cope, some people watching this

who haven't been through cancer may

0:47:300:47:33

think, wouldn't you be elated when

you are taught you are cancer free,

0:47:330:47:37

explained, is it about the fear it

might come back?

For me, it has come

0:47:370:47:46

back so I have got metastatic breast

cancer, I got that some years ago

0:47:460:47:51

and what happens to me and to me and

my husband, we were offered through

0:47:510:47:57

the palliative care service, a

therapist. And he came and helped us

0:47:570:48:07

unbelievably because we were getting

very angry with each other. And 40

0:48:070:48:13

helped us see was that it was the

cancer that we were angry with and

0:48:130:48:20

so instead of me... Him getting

cross with me because I couldn't do

0:48:200:48:28

something and me saying, don't get

cross with me and then him feeling

0:48:280:48:31

guilty because he had got cross and

me feeling guilty because I'd made

0:48:310:48:36

him feel guilty... What the

therapist got us to do was say, I

0:48:360:48:42

would start getting cross with him

about where he is putting things in

0:48:420:48:46

the dishwasher! And he would put his

arms round and say you are tired,

0:48:460:48:50

why don't you go and sit down and I

will make you some tea. And perhaps

0:48:500:48:56

a gin, that sort of talking therapy

made such a big difference to the

0:48:560:49:02

way we have been able to cope and I

had been able to cope with this

0:49:020:49:07

incurable condition that I have got.

Because that must really play on

0:49:070:49:13

your mind all the time. You've had

it for seven years, you know it's

0:49:130:49:19

incurable.

Yes, and it's like a

Damocles hanging over me. Through

0:49:190:49:27

the therapy, one way I was dealing

with that was pretending that was

0:49:270:49:29

not happening. And he gave me, the

therapist gave me permission to be

0:49:290:49:35

in denial and pretend it's not

happening. And he asked me once, for

0:49:350:49:43

what would you be doing now if you

didn't have this diagnosis? And I

0:49:430:49:47

thought that was a really good

question. So he said, just plan your

0:49:470:49:53

life. Pretend it's not happening.

And that was so empowering. I have

0:49:530:49:59

very bad times, I get angry or yes,

I get angry, whiny and it's not

0:49:590:50:06

fair. But that's the way it is. And

it's about, its acceptance and

0:50:060:50:17

coming to realise the new normal and

making the most of life within the

0:50:170:50:23

new normal and it's hard. But it

helps if you have some professional

0:50:230:50:27

input.

Before I bring in Professor

Steph Taylor, Patrick, were you

0:50:270:50:33

offered any kind of therapy as we

hear Adrian describing?

When I

0:50:330:50:41

mentioned and I said accidentally to

my clinician that I had ideas that I

0:50:410:50:47

wanted to end my life, straight away

I was sent to a clinical

0:50:470:50:55

psychologist and prescribed

antidepressants and I did not want

0:50:550:50:57

to have anything to do with that at

all and I thought big mistake, I am

0:50:570:51:01

never going to tell anyone this

again, I have suppressed this as

0:51:010:51:05

much as possible, especially not

telling, so everybody asks me

0:51:050:51:09

questions, how do you feel and I say

fine, I do not want to go out and

0:51:090:51:13

tell them anything because the last

thing I wanted was to have men

0:51:130:51:18

invite codes coming to take me away.

Did you ask for talking therapy?

You

0:51:180:51:23

did not know? I did not know

anything about this, I knew this was

0:51:230:51:26

happening to me and I mentioned it

and that was the explosion that

0:51:260:51:30

happened after and I thought, not a

thing to mention, I am going to keep

0:51:300:51:35

this quiet.

Professor Taylor, come

in on this, explain how it works. We

0:51:350:51:39

have heard about Adrienne's therapy,

but explain how this is different.

0:51:390:51:45

We have funding for a large trial to

explore in a systematic way the

0:51:450:51:50

routine offering of acceptance

commitment therapy which is a token

0:51:500:51:55

-based therapy, as people come to

the end of cancer treatment, what we

0:51:550:51:58

hope as we will identify people

struggling more than others with

0:51:580:52:01

emotional problems, some of the

people here I think would have the

0:52:010:52:05

ideal candidates for the study and

we will offer them a course of

0:52:050:52:10

except ins and commitment therapy

and the really appealing thing about

0:52:100:52:13

this talking therapy is that it is

personal based, based on the

0:52:130:52:19

person's own values so it's very

person centred.

So it's furry

0:52:190:52:25

realistic about what can be

achieved.

It's called acceptance and

0:52:250:52:30

commitment therapy, excepting for

cannot be changed up some people

0:52:300:52:33

that is the risk of curtains and

committing yourself to values based

0:52:330:52:35

goals and things but as well as that

we know that physical activity is

0:52:350:52:40

really important because tiredness

is a huge problem after cancer. For

0:52:400:52:44

those people who want to get back to

physical activity, team members from

0:52:440:52:49

Sheffield who are experts in cancer

and physical activity will develop

0:52:490:52:53

modules that will help support those

people and again, many people who

0:52:530:52:57

have had cancer don't get back to

work even though they want to and

0:52:570:53:02

for a third of those it's about

emotional reasons we hope to be able

0:53:020:53:05

to support those people and work

with our team about vocational

0:53:050:53:11

qualifications, helping people who

want to get back to work.

As a young

0:53:110:53:15

person, what sort of support did you

get, did you get any kind of talking

0:53:150:53:19

therapy when you were having your

panic attacks and feeling

0:53:190:53:21

frustrated?

I went to my local

hospital, I got treated on a teenage

0:53:210:53:27

Cancer trust port at Addenbrooke's

but my local hospital offered me

0:53:270:53:34

three Macmillan, like Iain McMillan

charity based funded counselling, a

0:53:340:53:42

set amount of sessions that I could

have and that helped me. And that

0:53:420:53:48

helped me figure out why I was

having panic attacks and being able

0:53:480:53:50

to control them. And I think it's a

really good thing and it really

0:53:500:53:55

helped me and by anxiety after

treatment.

Thank you all for coming

0:53:550:54:00

on and being so honest and sharing

your experiences. I am so grateful.

0:54:000:54:05

Let me read you some comments that

have been coming in about the

0:54:050:54:10

conversation we had with Andy

Woodward in the last few minutes.

0:54:100:54:14

Sandy on Facebook says I have just

watched the interview, what a

0:54:140:54:19

wonderfully brave man and I wish him

all the best for the future. Well

0:54:190:54:22

done for speaking out. Julie says,

amazing, so brave, keep strong.

0:54:220:54:26

David says Andy Woodward did the

right things speaking about abuse in

0:54:260:54:33

sport, he's helped more than he's

ever likely to know. Lots of friends

0:54:330:54:36

say everything about them and them

alone, the guy is a stark, and

0:54:360:54:42

better nurturing friends will come

into a new and positive life for

0:54:420:54:46

him. So many here, Andy Woodward,

hard to hear this account, I admire

0:54:460:54:52

your bravery, there are times we

have to do the right thing despite

0:54:520:54:55

the losses and challenges and glad

that despite all that's happened

0:54:550:54:58

over the last year you too could

steps to keep children safe. Now how

0:54:580:55:05

much are we spending on the high

street? The league latest retail

0:55:050:55:09

sales figures have just come out and

Emmett Simpson is here. Let me come

0:55:090:55:14

across to speak to you, for the

latest figures telling us? -- Emma

0:55:140:55:19

Simpson.

They haven't been as bad as

some people were expecting. We know

0:55:190:55:25

October has been a pretty

challenging month because we've had

0:55:250:55:27

a lot of other surveys out but

looking at these figures, the

0:55:270:55:31

official statistics, but at what is

happening year on year, we compared

0:55:310:55:38

October two last October, the amount

of stuff shoppers bought was up to

0:55:380:55:42

.8% on the year but the volumes were

down. We spent more and bought less

0:55:420:55:54

so the volume of goods was down

0.3%, that's the first time that

0:55:540:55:58

measure has fallen in about four

years, we are spending more and

0:55:580:56:03

buying less and that's because

prices have been rising.

That's what

0:56:030:56:07

I was going to ask is it because we

are buying more expensive items or

0:56:070:56:10

coping with inflation?

People are

being more cautious because they are

0:56:100:56:15

spending, wages have not in keeping

up with the cost of living and we've

0:56:150:56:19

been seeing that in the last few

months. What is interesting, the

0:56:190:56:24

other measure, what happened month

on month. According to the Office

0:56:240:56:27

for National Statistics, Labour,

there was a little bit of growth

0:56:270:56:32

compared with September and an

interesting point they were making,

0:56:320:56:36

they sought second-hand goods

stores, charity goods stores, option

0:56:360:56:43

houses, providing the largest

contribution to the tiny bit of

0:56:430:56:47

growth we solve month on month. But

I think it's fair to say looking

0:56:470:56:52

back on October eight was a pretty

challenging month. For retailers.

0:56:520:56:57

Especially in non-food, the weather

for instance has been really mind,

0:56:570:57:02

who wants to go out and buy boots

and woolly coats when it's this one?

0:57:020:57:06

I think the big question for

retailers is what does this tell us

0:57:060:57:10

about what lies ahead? We are

entering the crucial trading...

0:57:100:57:15

Christmas!

0:57:150:57:16

Christmas is coming, retailers are

nervous about what will happen. And

0:57:200:57:22

Black Friday coming up.

Is that

0:57:220:57:26

Friday, the big one, that will give

us a clue as to how consumers will

0:57:300:57:36

spend this Christmas. Could they

have been holding back in October,

0:57:360:57:39

saving for Black Friday? Of course,

look at the high Street, there are

0:57:390:57:44

sales everywhere, discounts the law

already. So I think Black Friday

0:57:440:57:51

will be interesting to see what

shoppers are up to.

Emma, thank you

0:57:510:57:54

for explaining that to us.

0:57:540:58:01

Lets get the latest weather update -

with Matt Taylor.

0:58:010:58:02

I think the weather we are likely to

see in the next few days will boost

0:58:060:58:11

the sales of warm coats. The rain

pushing through here, temperatures

0:58:110:58:15

dropping, this cold front

responsible, moving to northern

0:58:150:58:19

England. To the south, feeling

pleasant. To the north, colder air,

0:58:190:58:25

sunnier, gales and severe gales this

morning in Scotland for a time, by

0:58:250:58:33

the end of the afternoon, south-west

England, southern England, towards

0:58:330:58:37

parts of East Anglia, patchy rain

and drizzle, a little bit of

0:58:370:58:41

sunshine, 14 degrees the highest.

Single digit temperatures further

0:58:410:58:45

north, a mild night last night,

colder night tonight, showers wintry

0:58:450:58:49

over the Hells, he'll too low levels

across Scotland, clear skies

0:58:490:58:55

elsewhere, widespread frost away

from the towns and cities. Your

0:58:550:58:59

Friday morning commute here and

crispy, frosty, lots of sunshine

0:58:590:59:04

around to start the day, patchy

cloud, parts of western England,

0:59:040:59:08

Wales and Northern Ireland, the bulk

of the showers to the north and west

0:59:080:59:13

of Scotland, heavy with hail and

thunder possible, sleet and snow

0:59:130:59:17

higher ground, most of us a dry day

on Friday, single digit temperatures

0:59:170:59:20

through the afternoon, around 8-9d

at best. Cold air Friday night, into

0:59:200:59:26

the start of the weekend, battle

taking place this weekend between

0:59:260:59:29

cold air and mild are, the net

result on Saturday, cloud for

0:59:290:59:36

England and Wales, patchy rain and

result not of affecting everyone,

0:59:360:59:40

back to double digit temperatures,

single figures further north, one or

0:59:400:59:45

two showers, the battle continuing

into Sunday. Cold northerly wind in

0:59:450:59:50

the east of the country, whether

France dry to push on from the west

0:59:500:59:53

bringing cloud and patchy rain. I

quickly that moves in, uncertain at

0:59:530:59:57

the moment, looking at the moment

that you will stay dry central and

0:59:571:00:01

eastern areas but feeling chilly.

That's how it's looking in the UK, a

1:00:011:00:06

quick look at Europe, severe floods

in Greece and Italy. Those

1:00:061:00:12

conditions continuing for some over

the next few days, severe low

1:00:121:00:15

pressure through the central

Mediterranean, continuing to

1:00:151:00:18

circulate and could strengthen

further through southern Italy, down

1:00:181:00:22

through the Adriatic awards Greece,

we see severe thunderstorms and

1:00:221:00:27

further flooding. Only by the time

we hit the weekend will the storms

1:00:271:00:30

ease.

1:00:301:00:35

All the victims of the

Grenfell Tower tragedy have

1:00:441:00:46

now been identified.

1:00:461:00:47

The police have told us 70 people

died, including a still-born baby.

1:00:471:00:54

The challenge of it has been

immense, specialist teams have

1:00:541:00:58

worked through 15 and a half tonnes

of debris on each and every floor of

1:00:581:01:01

Grenfell Tower, by hand, to find

every single fragment they can of

1:01:011:01:06

all those that died, that has been

extremely distressing to the

1:01:061:01:10

families and to those involved in

the operation as well.

1:01:101:01:22

Stop.

1:01:221:01:23

Speak.

1:01:231:01:25

Support - that's today's

message being delivered

1:01:251:01:26

by the Duke of Cambridge,

as he launches a new campaign

1:01:261:01:28

Happens in the playground, when it

can be seen, but online, only one of

1:01:291:01:33

you seize it and it is so personal

1:01:331:01:35

full is top

later we will be

speaking with one victim who tried

1:01:351:01:43

to take his own life when he was a

teenager for the And Canadian

1:01:431:01:51

rapper, Drake, stopped his gig in

Sydney in the middle of a set, after

1:01:511:01:54

he saw one of the people in the

audience being groped.

1:01:541:02:06

We'll speak to one fan who was there

Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom

1:02:141:02:17

with a summary of todays news.

1:02:171:02:23

Police believe they have now found

and identified the bodies

1:02:231:02:25

of everyone who died

in the Grenfell Tower fire.

1:02:251:02:27

They put the final number of victims

at 71 including a stillborn baby.

1:02:271:02:31

In the immediate aftermath

of the blaze, 400 people

1:02:311:02:33

were listed as missing.

1:02:331:02:34

Police say footage showed 223

people escaping the fire,

1:02:341:02:36

while others were not at home

on the night of the fire

1:02:361:02:39

in June this year.

1:02:391:02:40

They said the search

and identification operation

1:02:401:02:42

had been "meticulous."

1:02:421:02:46

When I went into Grenfell Tower a

few days after the fire which had

1:02:461:02:49

been put out, having seen it with my

own eyes, I honestly thought that it

1:02:491:02:55

was likely we would not find

everybody who had died. I'm so

1:02:551:02:58

pleased for the families and loved

ones of all those that died that we

1:02:581:03:02

have been able to find all those who

died, recover them, identify them,

1:03:021:03:09

return as much as we possibly can

back to their families.

1:03:091:03:16

The future of Zimbabwe's long time

leader Robert Mugabe remains

1:03:161:03:18

unclear this morning,

after he was placed under house

1:03:181:03:21

arrest by the country's military.

1:03:211:03:22

Two envoys from South Africa have

arrived in the capital, Harare,

1:03:221:03:24

to try to hold talks

with the 93-year-old

1:03:241:03:26

and with the country's generals

who deny there's been a coup.

1:03:261:03:29

It's been seen by many as a move

to prevent Mr Mugabe's wife Grace

1:03:291:03:32

from succeeding him in power.

1:03:321:03:42

Figures out this morning reveal that

retail sales fell by 0.3% in October

1:03:491:03:52

compared to the same month last

year. Despite the annual fall, the

1:03:521:03:54

Office of National Statistics says

that the underlying pattern is "one

1:03:541:03:56

of growth" when looking at the three

month figure which shows a rise of

1:03:561:03:59

0.9% in the quantity of goods people

bought.

1:03:591:04:01

Plans to encourage housing

associations to borrow money

1:04:011:04:03

to invest in new homes

will be announced later.

1:04:031:04:05

The government is to wipe

about £70 billion worth

1:04:051:04:07

of debt from housing associations'

balance sheets, allowing them

1:04:071:04:09

to raise money more cheaply.

1:04:091:04:10

It comes after Theresa May

pledged to kickstart

1:04:101:04:12

a new generation of council house

building last month.

1:04:121:04:14

But Labour said there was no

coherent plan to address

1:04:141:04:17

the "housing crisis".

1:04:171:04:18

Thousands of women with previously

untreatable breast cancer

1:04:181:04:20

are to have access to two new drugs.

1:04:201:04:22

The two have been shown to slow down

advanced cancer, and can delay

1:04:221:04:25

the need for chemotherapy.

1:04:251:04:26

They've been approved

for NHS use in England,

1:04:261:04:28

after it negotiated a price

agreement with the manufacturers.

1:04:281:04:38

The missing British explorer

Benedict Allen

1:04:391:04:40

has been seen "alive and well"

1:04:401:04:42

near an airstrip

in Papua New Guinea.

1:04:421:04:43

He had been travelling

on his own to try to find

1:04:431:04:46

the reclusive Yaifo tribe,

whom he first met 30 years ago.

1:04:461:04:56

So many of you getting intact with

us after that conversation with Andy

1:05:021:05:07

Woodward, you may remember the

emotional interview that Victoria

1:05:071:05:10

did with him and other former

footballers, coming back to tell us

1:05:101:05:14

about how things have changed. A

tweet, he should be very proud for

1:05:141:05:21

speaking out. Robert says: so much

respect for this guy, incredible

1:05:211:05:25

that even in this age of historical

and current abuse claims, we are

1:05:251:05:28

still having to jump through hoops

to make any progress. We are living

1:05:281:05:33

in the dark ages. Andy had me in

tears yet again this morning, 12

1:05:331:05:38

months on and every time since in

between, what a wonderful

1:05:381:05:42

inspirational brave man, I hope the

BBC can pass on all of our love and

1:05:421:05:49

support. Stefanie: please tell Andy,

you are amazing. Stuart has got in

1:05:491:05:55

touch on Twitter, staggering, I am

not a follower of football, but for

1:05:551:05:59

Andy's incredible bravery in

bringing attention to this, I can

1:05:591:06:03

now say, I have a favourite

footballer. Keep those thoughts

1:06:031:06:06

coming.

1:06:061:06:16

The BBC's Price of Football survey

is out, and for the third year in a

1:06:211:06:24

row the average ticket price has

either fallen or stayed the same.

1:06:241:06:26

Our reporter Katherine Downes is at

the home of Premier League side

1:06:261:06:29

Stoke City. A lot for football fans

to mull over.

All the figures out,

1:06:291:06:34

lots of numbers to crunch, I am here

at Stoke City, one of the majority

1:06:341:06:38

of Premier League clubs where prices

are pretty much stayed the same or

1:06:381:06:41

even fallen over the past three

years. Match day ticket will cost 25

1:06:411:06:46

quid here, the most popular season

ticket costs £344, £200 less than

1:06:461:06:52

the Premier League average, and the

essential warm high at pretty Chile

1:06:521:06:58

Stoke City cost £3 20, although the

price of five across the Premier

1:06:581:07:02

League has gone up 5%, apparently

due to inflation according to the

1:07:021:07:08

club. -- chilly. 30 to £35, the

match day, pretty much the same as

1:07:081:07:13

last time

year, is it enough to keep

people coming back? Perhaps not, for

1:07:131:07:19

the first time the BBC has survey

1018 to 24 -- 1000 18 to

1:07:191:07:29

24-year-olds and 56% of them have

said that they actually go to fewer

1:07:291:07:33

matches as a consequence of the

expense. To talk more about this,

1:07:331:07:37

Adrian Hirst, head of community here

at Stoke City. How concerned are you

1:07:371:07:43

that fewer 18 to 24-year-olds there

to be going to Premier League

1:07:431:07:47

matches.

Always concerned when

someone provides evidence that there

1:07:471:07:52

is an age group and demographic that

are not attending, what we would

1:07:521:07:55

like to do is look at the numbers,

crunch them, see what the impact of

1:07:551:07:59

the report says on the club.

Lots of

your fans queueing up to buy tickets

1:07:591:08:04

for the game with Tottenham at

Wembley, tickets just released, lots

1:08:041:08:08

of them older gentleman, very few

young people here, have you noticed

1:08:081:08:13

your demographic getting over?

No,

as a football club we work hard to

1:08:131:08:18

make sure that football is

affordable for everybody, firstly,

1:08:181:08:21

because it needs to be, and we make

sure we work hard to make sure young

1:08:211:08:25

people and when I say young people,

we have a very clear focus on making

1:08:251:08:29

sure primary school children can

access Premier League football and

1:08:291:08:32

we are working very hard there, this

year we have given away 8000 free

1:08:321:08:37

shirts and we are giving away 16,000

free tickets to come and watch games

1:08:371:08:40

as well. So I think we are trying to

address that balance in making sure

1:08:401:08:45

we have young supporters attending

games. But we also need to look at

1:08:451:08:49

the evidence and runs the numbers

and see what evidence comes out.

1:08:491:08:54

White is there perhaps a case where,

yes, primary schoolchildren are

1:08:541:08:57

coming with parents but once people

start to go into the workplace, and

1:08:571:09:01

their own money, Premier League

football is not good value for money

1:09:011:09:06

for people who are on entry-level

wages.

1:09:061:09:11

Understand what you are saying but

looking at the office for the age

1:09:121:09:15

group you looked at, under 21, you

can attend a game for £13.60, I

1:09:151:09:21

don't think that is a bad offer. I

think that in the study it said

1:09:211:09:29

going to away games and the cost of

away games was something of concern,

1:09:291:09:34

but we have offered free of away

supporters travel for the past five

1:09:341:09:36

years. We send an official code,

travel to any Premier League away

1:09:361:09:41

game in the country, it costs

nothing.

Thank you very much for

1:09:411:09:46

that insight about how you are doing

at Stoke City to encourage younger

1:09:461:09:50

fans. If you are encouraged in how

much it is costing you at your club,

1:09:501:09:54

go to the website, a calculator will

tell you how much the price of

1:09:541:09:58

football is for your team. Thank you

very much for joining us.

1:09:581:10:12

Police investigating the Grenfell

tower tragedy say the final number

1:10:171:10:19

of people now known to have

died in the blaze is 71,

1:10:191:10:22

including a still-born baby.

1:10:221:10:23

They've also established that 223

people escaped the fire.

1:10:231:10:31

Five months on from the fire, this

is a significant moment, because the

1:10:311:10:36

Metropolitan Police have said this

morning that they have recovered the

1:10:361:10:39

remains from everyone who they

believe died that dreadful night, in

1:10:391:10:43

other words, they will not be

finding the remains of anyone else.

1:10:431:10:49

They have said they have carried out

a mammoth and meticulous search,

1:10:491:10:53

working layer by layer through the

building, and get it search at

1:10:531:10:58

times, 16 tonnes of debris they have

had to work through. A short time

1:10:581:11:02

earlier at Scotland Yard, Commander

Stuart Cundy, police officer,

1:11:021:11:06

responsible for this recovery

operation, spoke to my colleague Tom

1:11:061:11:11

Burridge.

The heart of myself and

the rest of my colleagues continues

1:11:111:11:20

to be with those affected, I cannot

imagine the agony that the family of

1:11:201:11:25

those who have died have gone

through. From Day 1 it has been a

1:11:251:11:30

priority to search Grenfell Tower,

find all those that died, recover

1:11:301:11:33

them with dignity, and subsequently

identify them, and yesterday, the

1:11:331:11:38

last two identities of those that

were recovered were confirmed to the

1:11:381:11:42

satisfaction of the coroner. I now

know, with confidence, the number of

1:11:421:11:46

people that have died as a result of

the fire is 71, sadly including a

1:11:461:11:51

stillborn baby. It has taken so long

because of the sheer challenge that

1:11:511:11:58

Grenfell Tower has placed on all the

emergency services but particularly

1:11:581:12:01

the specialist teams that we used to

recover all those that had died. 71

1:12:011:12:08

people, and it is not about the

number, it is about the people, that

1:12:081:12:12

has aways been at the heart of what

we do. The challenge has been

1:12:121:12:15

immense, specialist teams working

through 15.5 tonnes of debris, on

1:12:151:12:21

each and every floor of Grenfell

Tower, by hand, to find every single

1:12:211:12:25

fragment that they can of all those

who have died full of that has been

1:12:251:12:30

extremely distressing to the

families and to those involved in

1:12:301:12:32

the operation.

The Met have been

pushing the boundaries of what was

1:12:321:12:39

scientifically possible in order to

identify the people who died.

-- of

1:12:391:12:45

all those who have died. It has been

extreme you distressing to the

1:12:451:12:51

families and to those involved in

the operation.

The focus now shifts

1:12:511:12:55

onto the council in terms of what

happens to the building, some sort

1:12:551:12:58

of covering will continue to go up,

and there is a public enquiry, so

1:12:581:13:02

the criminal side of things,

certainly in terms of the recovery

1:13:021:13:05

of victims and their remains, that

seems to be coming to an end now.

1:13:051:13:12

There is another side to the

criminal investigation, who was

1:13:121:13:14

liable for this, why did the tragedy

take place, these questions will

1:13:141:13:19

continue in the coming weeks,

months, and probably years.

1:13:191:13:24

Two envoys from South Africa have

arrived in Zimbabwe's capital,

1:13:261:13:29

Harare, to try to hold talks

with President Mugabe.

1:13:291:13:31

He's been placed under house arrest

by the country's military,

1:13:311:13:33

whose generals deny there's

been a coup.

1:13:331:13:35

The army says this is an attempt

to deal with what they described

1:13:351:13:38

as "criminals" around

the ageing president.

1:13:381:13:40

That's widely seen as a reference

to Mr Mugabe's much younger

1:13:401:13:42

and controversial wife; she's made

no secret of wanting to take power.

1:13:421:13:51

Here's a quick look at who she is.

1:13:511:13:56

I see her as somebody who's

in the position she is purely

1:14:551:14:58

by virtue of the fact that she's

married to Robert Mugabe.

1:14:581:15:02

She's somebody who embarrasses them.

1:15:021:15:03

The very thought that she was in

a position where she might have

1:15:031:15:06

become Robert Mugabe's air apparent

at a special conference in December

1:15:061:15:09

meant that the military

were going to have to move

1:15:091:15:11

in their view to install

the man that they want

1:15:111:15:14

and that's Emmerson Mnangagwa.

1:15:141:15:16

Let's speak to our correspondent who

can bring us

1:15:291:15:31

I have got off the phone with the

Department for International affairs

1:15:361:15:39

closely monitoring what's going on.

-- our correspondent can bring us

1:15:391:15:50

up-to-date with what's happening. No

opposition party is involved at this

1:15:501:15:56

stage, it's essentially a leadership

battle between the former Vice

1:15:561:16:01

President and his supporters and

supporters of President Mugabe. At

1:16:011:16:05

the moment South Africans are trying

to broker a deal that will see

1:16:051:16:08

stability restored not just for

Zimbabwe but the indications within

1:16:081:16:13

the region in that South Africa is

home to millions of South Africans

1:16:131:16:19

who have sought economic

opportunities and it's important for

1:16:191:16:21

them to make sure peace remains in

that country. And that the school in

1:16:211:16:27

inverted, is does not deteriorate

further.

We were having a

1:16:271:16:31

conversation in our goal about this

and that was the view amongst

1:16:311:16:36

Zimbabweans and people covering the

country that Robert Mugabe needs to

1:16:361:16:39

come out and say I am standing down

and handing over power for this to

1:16:391:16:43

be seen as a credible, simple

transition. Do we get any sense that

1:16:431:16:48

is likely to happen?

That's a

difficult one to answer. We

1:16:481:16:54

understand what the South Africans

are going for as part of the

1:16:541:16:57

mediation process is a democratic

solution, that would involve

1:16:571:17:01

possibly persuading the President to

see reason but this is somebody who

1:17:011:17:05

has held onto power for 37 years,

it's unlikely he will go down

1:17:051:17:10

without much of a fight.

Good to

speak to you. Let's speak to them

1:17:101:17:19

who lives in Harare and as a human

rights activist. In 2008 he

1:17:191:17:23

successfully sued the Mugabe regime

provider late in the role of law and

1:17:231:17:28

human rights in the country, we can

speak to a guest to is a resident of

1:17:281:17:34

Harare. And I will start by speaking

to you, tell us the situation in

1:17:341:17:42

Harare at the moment, I think it's

probably coming up to mid-a the

1:17:421:17:46

moment, isn't it?

It's almost

mid-day and the situation looks

1:17:461:17:51

quite calm, I think it's much better

than it was yesterday. It seems to

1:17:511:17:55

have been you know, a bit of

increased business activity today

1:17:551:18:01

come per to what we saw yesterday.

But of course there is still the

1:18:011:18:06

prevalence of the military in the

streets and Erica Ding roads that

1:18:061:18:12

are heading towards particular

government buildings such as

1:18:121:18:14

Parliament and the office of the

President. What I should say in

1:18:141:18:18

other parts, like Uptown, it really

looks like business as usual.

What

1:18:181:18:28

do you want to see happening? Are

you happy for a transition, maybe

1:18:281:18:34

over to the former Vice President or

would you support Grace Mugabe,

1:18:341:18:39

where you stand?

As a pro-democracy

activist, this is a very tricky

1:18:391:18:48

situation, Catch-22. Number one, I

do not condone military intervention

1:18:481:18:55

as a solution. But given the fact

that we have had problems with you

1:18:551:19:07

know, instituting leadership renewal

I think the military intervention is

1:19:071:19:12

sort of like a necessary instrument

in terms of challenging Robert

1:19:121:19:20

Mugabe and has power. I am excited

that has happened but I am worried

1:19:201:19:25

about the transition and what it

will look like, given the fact that

1:19:251:19:32

Mr Mugabe, look at the military, one

thing is quite clear for me from the

1:19:321:19:36

statements issued, what they want to

achieve is stability within Zanu PF,

1:19:361:19:45

and they are ensuring they have

perpetuated the route within this

1:19:451:19:49

country. Some of us really feel we

are not comfortable with it and we

1:19:491:19:53

are not sure if it is going to bring

about massive democratic change that

1:19:531:20:00

we want to see in Zimbabwe, its

Catch-22. But it's a step towards

1:20:001:20:06

the necessary direction that needs

to be taken in this country.

We only

1:20:061:20:14

have Ben on the phone, can you

explain to be above the conditions

1:20:141:20:18

of life inside Zimbabwe, the

struggle for jobs, food,

1:20:181:20:21

hyperinflation. Outline that and how

it affects your life.

Well, I think

1:20:211:20:28

one of the biggest problems is we

have 90% unemployment, no one is

1:20:281:20:34

investing in the country because no

one has any confidence, we have a

1:20:341:20:38

government that steals everything it

can. We have got police, we have had

1:20:381:20:43

police roadblocks were ever you move

on the roads, those have been

1:20:431:20:48

replaced by army roadblocks and it

seems at this stage the Army for

1:20:481:20:53

better than police to try and extort

money at every roadblock. Army at

1:20:531:21:02

this stage, reasonably friendly. We

have had the odd incident, I came

1:21:021:21:08

across an army roadblock of 200 Army

guys all with guns. I managed to get

1:21:081:21:14

through it without incident but I

know a motorist had to kneel in the

1:21:141:21:19

river and obviously we are worried

about discipline and whether

1:21:191:21:26

discipline will get out of hand with

the Army. But just as far as

1:21:261:21:31

everyday life is concerned, life

does go on in very straight and

1:21:311:21:37

circumstances and cases. There are

continual people say we cannot take

1:21:371:21:43

this any longer. We are leaving and

just as more than a quarter of the

1:21:431:21:49

population have done in the past

within the last decade or so. So

1:21:491:21:56

there is the continual situation of

not having money, not being able to

1:21:561:21:59

get money from the banks, the rate

if you try and transfer money from

1:21:591:22:07

your bank account to someone else's

bank account is about 80% less than

1:22:071:22:13

the value of paying cash. Because

cash is now impossible to get in

1:22:131:22:20

fact at the bank the other day I

tried to get some cash, withdrawing

1:22:201:22:27

maybe $20 a day, there is absolutely

zero. You cannot draw even a single

1:22:271:22:31

cent.

Everything you paint sums up

the dire situation in Zimbabwe and

1:22:311:22:39

why so many Zimbabweans are pleased

to see the start possibly of a

1:22:391:22:46

transition. Ben, thank you ever so

much for it speaking to us and Janus

1:22:461:22:51

as well. Still to come. Stop, speak,

support, that is the message being

1:22:511:22:58

delivered by the Duke of Cambridge

as he launches a campaign to tackle

1:22:581:23:01

the scourge of cyber bullying.

1:23:011:23:10

The Government is setting out plans

this morning to allow housing

1:23:101:23:12

associations to build more homes.

1:23:121:23:14

The minister in charge of housing

Sajid Javid is explaining how this

1:23:141:23:18

will work this morning.

1:23:181:23:22

Here is a little bit of what he has

had to say so far.

But represents

1:23:221:23:27

the highest level of net additions

since the depths of the recession

1:23:271:23:31

and it's the first time in almost a

decade that the 200,000 milestone

1:23:311:23:36

has been reached. Yesterday the

housing minister signed papers that

1:23:361:23:43

will allow housing associations to

be reclassified as private sector

1:23:431:23:48

organisations. Free from the

shackles of public sector

1:23:481:23:55

bureaucracy associations will be

able to concentrate on their core,

1:23:551:23:58

crucial omission of building homes.

1:23:581:24:00

And later Theresa May

will say building more homes

1:24:001:24:02

is her personal priority.

1:24:021:24:04

Today's plans come ahead of next

week's budget where it's

1:24:041:24:06

widely expected stamp duty

will be cut.

1:24:061:24:08

So will these measures

enough to help people

1:24:081:24:10

onto the housing ladder?

1:24:101:24:15

Thank you all for coming in.

1:24:151:24:21

Lets talk now Austen Reid

from the UK's biggest housing

1:24:211:24:23

association Clarion,

Lynda Clarke the editor

1:24:231:24:25

of the 'First Time Buyers' magazine,

David Montague the Chief Executive

1:24:251:24:28

of L&Q another of the country's

biggest housing associations,

1:24:281:24:30

and from Manchester)

Laura Henderson a single

1:24:301:24:32

mother struggling to get

on the property ladder,

1:24:321:24:37

and also struggling to get

a foot in the door is Head Chef

1:24:371:24:40

Richard Francis

1:24:401:24:41

from Whitchurch.

1:24:411:24:45

Thanks for coming in, Richard, I

want to speak to you firstly, give

1:24:451:24:48

us a sense why you are not able to

make that transition from ending to

1:24:481:24:52

buying your home.

What specifically

is holding you back? The initial

1:24:521:24:55

deposit really, the outlay that you

have got to have to be able to buy

1:24:551:25:02

your first property. Certainly when

you are renting, it's very difficult

1:25:021:25:06

to be able to save because you are

paying more than a mortgage while in

1:25:061:25:09

rent. That's what makes it hard.

And

is this something you are also

1:25:091:25:16

hearing, Linda?

Very much so, this

is the big Rob, young people or

1:25:161:25:21

anybody that wants to buy their

first home cannot get the money

1:25:211:25:24

together for the deposit. Of course

there are government schemes it's

1:25:241:25:29

only a 5% deposit but even that can

be tough. Obviously we can all said

1:25:291:25:33

don't go on by takeaway is, don't go

on holiday, save money this way and

1:25:331:25:38

that but life has to be lived as

well and it's very hard. I think the

1:25:381:25:45

bank of mum and dad is being used

more than ever but you know, that

1:25:451:25:48

isn't really the answer.

And not

possible for lots of mums and dads,

1:25:481:25:53

they don't have the cash. Richard

shaking his head as we talk.

1:25:531:25:58

Exactly, a Lord of mums and dads,

they have more than one Austrian,

1:25:581:26:02

they have to do it for everybody and

it would be a killer.

It's

1:26:021:26:05

difficult. David, how big a

difference will these changes make

1:26:051:26:11

with the housing associations

ability that the government is

1:26:111:26:15

suggesting to build new homes?

Today

we have heard Sajid Javid will be

1:26:151:26:23

reclassified housing associations as

private sector, we've been borrowing

1:26:231:26:28

since 1998, £70 billion investing in

new homes and overnight we found we

1:26:281:26:31

were going to be classified as

public sector and that meant in

1:26:311:26:34

future it would not be our decision

whether we would borrow to invest in

1:26:341:26:38

homes, to be the decision of the

Chancellor and he would have to

1:26:381:26:41

think about the needs of the other

sectors including the NHS. The

1:26:411:26:45

announcement today means our future,

we can deliver future plans, we plan

1:26:451:26:53

in my organisation to build 100,000

homes over ten years. We can go

1:26:531:26:57

ahead and do that, we will invest

and raise money from the city.

1:26:571:27:02

Carrie and her plans to deliver

another 50,000 homes, they can go

1:27:021:27:05

ahead and raise the money they need.

The sector as a whole, intends to

1:27:051:27:10

treble the number of new homes we

provide and this means we can go

1:27:101:27:13

ahead and do that.

These 100,000

homes, will they be rented, to

1:27:131:27:18

buy...

In the case of Dell and Q,

half the homes we build will be for

1:27:181:27:24

home ownership or co-ownership and

the other will be home ownership. We

1:27:241:27:35

must ensure a path to affordable

ownership and Richard, I want to

1:27:351:27:40

encourage you to look in the Clarion

website and check out various

1:27:401:27:43

schemes available to how people in

your circumstances.

I want to bring

1:27:431:27:48

you in, Austen. I know you are also

a developer, a home-builder as well

1:27:481:27:54

as a housing association, and one of

the criticisms has been developers

1:27:541:27:57

by land, hold onto it and don't

actually build quickly enough, you

1:27:571:28:01

think that figure criticism?

I think

often land is delayed because it

1:28:011:28:07

needs schools, roads, important

infrastructure. I think most

1:28:071:28:14

developers want to get the land and

build houses as quickly as possible.

1:28:141:28:18

However there is only a limited rate

that housing for sale can be

1:28:181:28:23

absorbed into the market. One of the

advantages that housing associations

1:28:231:28:26

have is that we build low-cost

rented housing, but can be absorbed

1:28:261:28:30

much quicker, people can be housed

much quicker than they can through

1:28:301:28:35

the sale and as a result we can

build houses and use the land much

1:28:351:28:43

better.

Is this going to make

renting and buying homes cheaper,

1:28:431:28:47

the fact you can build more homes?

It's going to, the government said

1:28:471:28:53

last year the housing market was

broken. Housing associations provide

1:28:531:28:57

that solution because it means we

can provide more housing for those

1:28:571:29:01

people who cannot meet their housing

need on the market.

I was looking on

1:29:011:29:04

your website, too- three-bedroom

apartments in north-east London

1:29:041:29:09

going for nearly half £1 million,

not many people can afford that, it

1:29:091:29:13

needs to come down, Richard, you

need those prices to come down?

1:29:131:29:18

Doesn't matter for you are in the

country, I moved from a Cheshire

1:29:181:29:23

postcode to a Shropshire postcode,

it's four miles down the road, saved

1:29:231:29:28

me lots of money each month, for me

there is no affordable housing at

1:29:281:29:33

the moment, the word affordable is

thrown around quite likely in my

1:29:331:29:39

opinion. 5% deposit on a new-build

house, look at trying to buy a house

1:29:391:29:45

outright with a mortgage, you are

looking 15- £20,000 to even get on

1:29:451:29:49

the ladder. That's with 5% stamp

duty solicitor fees and that and for

1:29:491:29:57

me, affordable houses building a

two-bedroom house that can go on the

1:29:571:30:01

market at £100,000, you know, it may

be smaller, whatever, but at least

1:30:011:30:06

then there are is a way of being

able to get that.

We see that line

1:30:061:30:13

has dropped out but he makes a valid

point, David, is that fair? People

1:30:131:30:17

aren't building right sort of houses

for people like Richard?

1:30:171:30:22

For people who are in Richard's

circumstances it is really difficult

1:30:221:30:25

at the moment, if you are in London,

the average price of a home is

1:30:251:30:31

£600,000, to buy that home, you need

a deposit of 150,000.

Who has that!

1:30:311:30:37

It is crazy, the average London

salary, 35,000, 14,000 for some, and

1:30:371:30:45

homeownership is out of reach for

many people, an increasing number of

1:30:451:30:48

people. In my view, the answer isn't

to put all aids into the

1:30:481:30:53

homeownership basket, we need to

invest in more affordable housing.

1:30:531:30:57

Force developers to not build any

big expensive houses, and a few

1:30:571:31:04

affordable houses, make an entire

plot of land about affordable

1:31:041:31:08

housing, should that be forced?

I

think it should be forced in some

1:31:081:31:13

ways, because otherwise, you are

never going to get to the first

1:31:131:31:17

step. You need to build communities,

you need to have a mixture, but it

1:31:171:31:21

does not mean you have multi-million

pound houses and then the poor boys

1:31:211:31:27

all around the site. What you need

to do is create communities where

1:31:271:31:31

you have people buying their home,

renting their home, affordable rent,

1:31:311:31:35

with the possibility that they can

buy in the future. A whole mix. That

1:31:351:31:41

creates a good community, which is

very important.

What about shared

1:31:411:31:46

ownership, renting a bit and having

a mortgage on it, should that be

1:31:461:31:50

expanded?

It is, and it is something

that Elke and Clarion are expanding

1:31:501:31:54

on. It is affording housing where

the actual house prices are higher,

1:31:541:32:02

a way that a lot of Londoners are

solving their housing problems.

In

1:32:021:32:12

Merton, a £400,000 flat, you can buy

a quarter of that, he could afford

1:32:121:32:17

to buy that flat, in London, it

would charge and affordable rent.

1:32:171:32:23

But he does not want to live in

London.

There is a big problem

1:32:231:32:28

around shared ownership, not the

fact... It is a fantastic thing, but

1:32:281:32:32

people do not

1:32:321:32:36

understand it, a lot of myths and

weird things about sharing with

1:32:361:32:40

people you do not know, that is

false, we need to educate people

1:32:401:32:44

about what shared ownership is, and

other government schemes, Help to

1:32:441:32:48

Buy, what it means, very difficult

for young people and for anybody to

1:32:481:32:53

get their head around it.

Thank you

for coming to talk to us, hopefully

1:32:531:32:57

we have explained it a bit.

1:32:571:33:02

Still to come: The Duke of Cambridge

is launching an online code of

1:33:021:33:06

conduct, encouraging the likes of

Facebook and Snapchat to take a

1:33:061:33:08

stand against cyber-bullying. But

what do the victims think? We'll be

1:33:081:33:10

finding out. For a

1:33:101:33:19

We''ll be hearing from someone who

was there.

1:33:211:33:27

Time for the latest

news, here's Annita.

1:33:361:33:41

Police believe they have now found

and identified the bodies

1:33:411:33:44

of everyone who died

in the Grenfell Tower fire.

1:33:441:33:46

They put the final number of victims

at 71 including a stillborn baby.

1:33:461:33:49

In the immediate aftermath

of the blaze, 400 people

1:33:491:33:51

were listed as missing.

1:33:511:33:52

Police say footage showed 223

people escaping the fire,

1:33:521:33:54

while others were not at home

on the night of the fire

1:33:541:33:57

in June this year.

1:33:571:33:58

They said the search

and identification operation

1:33:581:34:00

had been "meticulous."

1:34:001:34:10

Mediation efforts are taking place

in Zimbabwe, between President

1:34:151:34:17

Mugabe and the generals who seized

power yesterday. It's thought the

1:34:171:34:19

discussions are aimed at achieving a

smooth transition, following the

1:34:191:34:21

departure of the 93-year-old Mr

Mugabe. The move by the generals is

1:34:211:34:23

seen by many as an attempt to

prevent Mr Mugabe's wife Grace from

1:34:231:34:26

succeeding him in power.

1:34:261:34:29

Figures out this morning reveal that

retail sales fell by 0.3% in October

1:34:291:34:33

compared to the same

month last year.

1:34:331:34:34

Despite the annual fall, the Office

of National Statistics says

1:34:341:34:37

that the underlying pattern is "one

of growth"

1:34:371:34:46

when looking at the

three-month figure

1:34:461:34:54

which shows a rise of 0.9% in

the quantity of goods people bought.

1:34:541:34:57

Plans to encourage housing

associations to borrow money

1:34:571:34:59

to invest in new homes

will be announced later.

1:34:591:35:01

The government is to wipe

about £70 billion worth

1:35:011:35:03

of debt from housing associations'

balance sheets, allowing them

1:35:031:35:05

to raise money more cheaply.

1:35:051:35:07

It follows a pledge last month by

the Prime Minister, Theresa May to

1:35:071:35:10

kick-start a new generation of

council house building.

1:35:101:35:16

A 500-year-old painting of Christ,

believed to have been created

1:35:161:35:18

by Leonardo da Vinci,

has been sold in New York

1:35:181:35:27

for a record $400 million,

that's over £300 milion.

1:35:271:35:30

The price for Salvator Mundi,

or "Saviour of the World",

1:35:301:35:32

is the highest ever paid

for a work of art.

1:35:321:35:35

Da Vinci died in 1519

and there are fewer than 20

1:35:351:35:37

of his paintings in existence.

1:35:371:35:44

A lot of you getting in touch after

the conversation about housing. The

1:35:441:35:49

issue can only be addressed if buy

to let mortgages are abolished, if

1:35:491:35:54

greedy landlords buy properties at

the cheaper end of the market which

1:35:541:35:57

would have traditionally gone to

first-time buyers, thus removing the

1:35:571:36:01

option to buy from the first-time

buyer, and forcing them into rental.

1:36:011:36:04

Rachel: making housing associations

private sector and profit driven

1:36:041:36:09

will not help tenants, rent rises

and evictions, not more homes, very

1:36:091:36:15

bad news for social housing tenants.

This is insuring a generation of

1:36:151:36:23

homelessness, look no further than

town centres as proof. This all

1:36:231:36:29

sounds good but in reality they will

be leasehold and they will never

1:36:291:36:32

owned them to pass on to children.

Keep getting in touch with us about

1:36:321:36:36

that story and any others that we

talk about.

1:36:361:36:43

Here's some sport now with Hugh.

1:36:431:36:47

The BBC's Annual Price of Football

Study is out and it shows shows the

1:36:491:36:52

sport is facing a challenge to

retain it's young fans. Ore than

1:36:521:36:57

half of 18-24 year olds surveyed

said they felt professional football

1:36:571:36:59

was NOT being run with them in mind.

Russia's hopes of competing at the

1:36:591:37:03

Winter Olympics in February have

been dealt a blow today after the

1:37:031:37:06

World Anti-Doping Agency ruled the

country are still noncompliant with

1:37:061:37:08

its code. They've been suspended

since 2015 after a state sponsored

1:37:081:37:10

doping programme was uncovered.

1:37:101:37:12

Mark Stoneman looks like he's

cemented his place at the top

1:37:121:37:14

of England's batting order for next

week's first Ashes Test match.

1:37:141:37:17

He's scored a century on day two

of their final warm up game.

1:37:171:37:27

You might remember these Karelian

shamen, they may have worked for

1:37:281:37:37

Peru, have claimed the final place

at next year's World Cup, they beat

1:37:371:37:40

New Zealand 2-nil in their play off

qualifier. -- 2-0.

1:37:401:37:42

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has

demanded "an emergency Budget

1:37:461:37:48

for our public services",

which he described

1:37:481:37:50

as being in crisis.

1:37:501:37:51

He is promising to spend

about seventeen billion pounds

1:37:511:37:52

We are calling for an emergency

budget which addresses an emergency

1:37:561:38:01

in our public services, the chief

executive of the NHS has said that

1:38:011:38:04

there is a need for major investment

to avert crisis. Head teachers have

1:38:041:38:09

written to the Prime Minister, 5000

of them, saying, halt the cups in

1:38:091:38:13

high schools, and local government

have said, a budget gap, and they

1:38:131:38:18

have real worries about looking

after children in their care. --

1:38:181:38:20

halt the cuts. And the advisor on,

the current advice on terrorism,

1:38:201:38:25

saying, tackling terrorism is being

undermined by the lack of police

1:38:251:38:29

officers on the ground. We are

saying that what we need next week

1:38:291:38:33

is investment in public services,

end 's terror to you and begin

1:38:331:38:36

investing again. -- end austerity

and begin investing again.

1:38:361:38:47

With me is our Economics

Correspondent Andy Verity.

1:38:471:38:53

We are outspending income by 100

billion a year, we need to close the

1:39:001:39:04

gap, that is austerity, cutting back

on public service is and reducing

1:39:041:39:07

welfare payments. This is a break

from that but also from the new

1:39:071:39:13

Labour economic policies which would

never have been so bold to say, we

1:39:131:39:16

will spend this much more, when you

Labour came to power, tablet is the

1:39:161:39:23

recommendation of prudence, they

said, we will do the Conservative

1:39:231:39:25

spending restrictions on public

services. That was quite hard for

1:39:251:39:29

public services. -- they established

a recommendation of prudence -- they

1:39:291:39:35

sought to establish a reputation for

prudence. This is a big break.

John

1:39:351:39:41

McDonald says 76 billion, the Tories

giving that awaited corporations and

1:39:411:39:45

the rich, do we know how he has got

that figure?

We do. Encouraging

1:39:451:39:55

companies to invest more, more

private investment means more

1:39:551:39:59

private growth, you will get more

taxes, but there is some dispute

1:39:591:40:03

over that, Labour is saying, no, if

you cut corporation tax, the

1:40:031:40:08

taxpayer is giving away money, that

means the money must come from the

1:40:081:40:11

rest of us. Instead of giving away

£16.5 billion a year in corporation

1:40:111:40:17

tax, if the government kept that

money and spend it on public

1:40:171:40:21

services, you would have 70 billion

plus to spend on the NHS and other

1:40:211:40:25

things.

One of the big things at the

moment, tax avoidance, talking about

1:40:251:40:32

that?

John McDonnell, in the speech,

he has been referring to the

1:40:321:40:35

Paradise papers, speaking about this

morning on the today programme, they

1:40:351:40:38

are a big legal document showing how

the wealthy and multinationals are

1:40:381:40:44

avoiding tax in ways that are not

open to the likes of you and me

1:40:441:40:48

because it is not worth our while,

taking our accounts to Bermuda, not

1:40:481:40:51

enough in them. John Madonna says,

perhaps raise six or £7 billion

1:40:511:40:56

extra for public services if there

were a crackdown on public services.

1:40:561:41:02

Breaking news, Rolf Harris has had

one of 12 indecent assault

1:41:071:41:12

convictions overturned by the Court

of Appeal, that is reaching us in

1:41:121:41:15

the last couple of moments. One of

12 indecent assault convictions

1:41:151:41:21

overturned by the Court of Appeal.

1:41:211:41:27

Stop, speak, support.

1:41:391:41:42

That's today's message

being delivered

1:41:421:41:44

by the Duke of Cambridge,

as he launches a new campaign

1:41:441:41:46

to tackle the scourge

of cyberbullying in the UK.

1:41:461:41:48

The action plan, being seen

as the first ever internet code

1:41:481:41:51

of conduct, aims to reach every 11

to 16 year old in the UK.

1:41:511:41:54

It's been backed by the likes

of Facebook and Snapchat,

1:41:541:41:57

as well as gaming companies,

who have committed to further action

1:41:571:41:59

to support and protect

young people online.

1:41:591:42:01

A video has been released

of Prince William as part

1:42:011:42:03

of the campaign, showing him

chatting to two people affected

1:42:031:42:06

by cyberbullying and the impact it's

had on their lives.

1:42:061:42:08

It is one thing when it happens in

the playground, and it is visible

1:42:081:42:11

there and parents and teachers and

other children can see it but

1:42:111:42:13

online, only one of you seize it and

it is so personal, go straight to

1:42:131:42:16

your room.

Absolutely. Online now,

with social media, you cannot escape

1:42:161:42:21

it, you are constantly with the

bully.

And, it is written down,

1:42:211:42:25

there to look back at time and time

again. And if you are in a negative

1:42:251:42:30

space, that is all that you can see,

and you look for the negatives, you

1:42:301:42:34

look for the cruel things.

I was in

this group and if I was to save

1:42:341:42:40

something which agreed with a

comment, then that would be

1:42:401:42:44

twisted... People turned against me.

1:42:441:42:46

It kind of spiralled out of control

from there. I started to self harm.

1:42:501:42:58

I decided that I could not take this

any more, and I tried to end my

1:42:581:43:02

life. It was songwriting that helped

me realise that my life was worth

1:43:021:43:09

living. I started to write down how

I was feeling, writing a suicide

1:43:091:43:15

note that allowed me to... My gosh,

getting the same relief from this as

1:43:151:43:20

I am from self harming.

So brave of

the both of you to speak so honestly

1:43:201:43:26

about it. I cannot thank you enough.

I only wish you had not gone through

1:43:261:43:32

what you have gone through.

1:43:321:43:36

You were so brave, if I had done

that to my mother... I just don't

1:43:371:43:42

know...

1:43:421:43:44

Lets speak to psychologist

Dr Linda Papadopoulos,

1:43:441:43:46

an ambassador at the organisation

Internet Matters, which is part

1:43:461:43:48

of the task force and helps

keep kids safe online,

1:43:481:43:53

Abbie Gilligan,

1:43:531:43:58

who's from the NSPCC's

child safety online team,

1:43:581:44:00

and 24-year-old Carney Bonner,

who was bullied online

1:44:001:44:01

when he was a teenager to the point

he tried to take is own life.

1:44:011:44:05

He now campaigns

against cyberbullying.

1:44:051:44:11

Thank you for speaking with us,

let's start with your story, how did

1:44:111:44:15

people target you online?

I was

targeted over Facebook and Instant

1:44:151:44:20

Messenger, and at the time it was

receiving messages from a group of

1:44:201:44:25

people I believe were my friends. I

was getting messages that said I

1:44:251:44:30

should kill myself, that nobody

cared about me, because, going

1:44:301:44:33

through school, I was always someone

that was told to be honest. If you

1:44:331:44:38

are not happy about something, be

honest, speak your opinion. Because

1:44:381:44:42

of that, the circle of friends I

hung around with, if they did not

1:44:421:44:45

like someone, they would say to them

that they did not like someone or

1:44:451:44:50

they would make their life more

hard. I never wanted to put somebody

1:44:501:44:54

in that situation because I was not

raised like that. It then put me on

1:44:541:44:59

the outside of the circle and

actually, I was the person that was

1:44:591:45:03

causing them more grief. My friend

started to give me messages asking

1:45:031:45:08

why I was still there.

OK, I can

deal with this, I'm a teenager, I

1:45:081:45:18

can take on the world.

It was

something I thought I could handle,

1:45:181:45:23

it was when the messages turned into

everyday, I could see that I could

1:45:231:45:27

not handle it, and I felt I had to

do something to get myself out of

1:45:271:45:31

the situation.

How common is that

kind of story, because when I was at

1:45:311:45:37

school, I was bullied quite badly

but when I went home, I closed the

1:45:371:45:41

front door and I could escape, now

it is on phones and online and

1:45:411:45:46

getting into their home, presumably

that is the real problem.

That is

1:45:461:45:52

the key difference between off-line

and online bullying, it follows

1:45:521:45:55

children home, we have seen a

doubling in the last five years of

1:45:551:45:59

contacts to Charles Lyne,

demonstrates that this is a growing

1:45:591:46:02

problem and something we need to be

concerned about in responding to.

1:46:021:46:08

Are you seeing a huge spike in young

people not being able to cope with

1:46:131:46:17

it? I am trying to get a sense of

the level of young people not being

1:46:171:46:22

able to cope with a sense of

intrusion.

I think the stories we've

1:46:221:46:27

heard is that it can be devastating

for young people and some of the

1:46:271:46:30

young people who contact us will

have mental health problems and will

1:46:301:46:34

be dealing with anxiety as a result

of cyber bullying. At the extreme

1:46:341:46:38

end we know young people receive

death threats and that can have a

1:46:381:46:43

massive impact and impacts their

ability to concentrate in school,

1:46:431:46:48

absolutely, there is the full range

of The Haven is, that are

1:46:481:46:52

perpetrated but the full range of

impacts that can have an young

1:46:521:46:56

people experiencing it.

I want to

ask you, I know you schools and

1:46:561:47:04

speak to young people, what are they

telling you about how it's affecting

1:47:041:47:08

them and their coping strategies?

When I'm in schools me and my team

1:47:081:47:13

friendly address the a lot of them

say they tried to ignore it and

1:47:131:47:17

forget it is happening and one of

the things we find is quite

1:47:171:47:23

interesting, we have a lot more boys

that come up to us and want to talk

1:47:231:47:26

to us about cyber bullying issues

because they don't know how to

1:47:261:47:31

handle it, they are always told

because they are a boy they

1:47:311:47:34

shouldn't show emotion. We hear

there are girls who go through at a

1:47:341:47:38

lot more but at the moment I see

boys who don't know how to

1:47:381:47:43

communicate they are struggling

because there is this, if you are a

1:47:431:47:45

guy you can't show emotions, I don't

agree with it and I said to them you

1:47:451:47:51

need to shoot you can talk about it

and they get to the point they are

1:47:511:47:54

scared to talk about it because they

think their friends will take the

1:47:541:47:57

Mick out.

Am I right in thinking

some of the people you work with our

1:47:571:48:03

former police and sought to explain

where they come from and why they

1:48:031:48:06

might do it?

I have two people I

work with who work my bullies, they

1:48:061:48:14

were the two driving it and it's

something that is hard, then we

1:48:141:48:20

started campaigning, I was

completely against the idea because

1:48:201:48:23

I had to look at people who drove me

to want to kill myself and it's

1:48:231:48:27

something that actually over time I

have learned to accept because we

1:48:271:48:33

always say we are therefore at the

victim and to support the victim but

1:48:331:48:36

we cannot win this battle if we are

not fighting it from both France and

1:48:361:48:40

what we fight is beneficial, having

these two with us, you can see

1:48:401:48:44

people look at it and say, if he was

a bully and he is working to help

1:48:441:48:49

how does that happen and it's

actually something we sure, it's

1:48:491:48:53

important to show both sides of the

story to tackle the issue.

As a

1:48:531:49:00

psychologist you must see the

immense damage that cyber bullying

1:49:001:49:03

can do to young people. Is it about

talking, is it about opening up like

1:49:031:49:09

we here?

It's always about talking.

Whether you're a parent who checks

1:49:091:49:15

in with their kid to make sure they

are OK, whether you're a friend of

1:49:151:49:20

someone as in the cases we have

heard, but Jackson and says this

1:49:201:49:25

doesn't seem right, I will support

you, whether you are the person

1:49:251:49:28

being bullied that wants to reach

out, it's always about talking,

1:49:281:49:31

that's one of the biggest tools that

we have because the problem is,

1:49:311:49:36

these things remain unacknowledged.

Very important points raised, I may

1:49:361:49:42

not talk about it because I feel

embarrassed, I am a strong person,

1:49:421:49:46

this should not embarrass me because

I am a boy and I am strong. They

1:49:461:49:52

remain unacknowledged, because if I

told them I get too big, I might

1:49:521:49:56

tell my parents, they may take my

phone away, my phone is where I am

1:49:561:50:01

being bullied but it also is where I

get some pot. It's an instinctive

1:50:011:50:07

thing, we will. This technology, it

is integral to the lies of young

1:50:071:50:12

people, it is part and parcel of the

social world. -- to the lives of

1:50:121:50:17

young people.

I know you are an

ambassador for Internet matters, you

1:50:171:50:28

are part of the task force although

you are not personally involved with

1:50:281:50:32

the work that the Duke of Cambridge

is doing but how critical is that at

1:50:321:50:35

the likes of Facebook and the fact

that snap chat or involved in that.

1:50:351:50:41

It's hugely important, these brands

in and of themselves are cooled to

1:50:411:50:45

young people, depending on your age

you will be an snap chat or

1:50:451:50:49

Facebook, and if they can set a

precedent, this is a code of conduct

1:50:491:50:54

and we don't accept that, you buy

into the brand, the coolness, I

1:50:541:50:58

values, whatever that means but one

of those values is you could each

1:50:581:51:02

other in a certain way and we have

got together to decide what baddies.

1:51:021:51:05

The idea this is the first time this

has ever been done, it's important

1:51:051:51:09

to speak about, it's an

acknowledgement not just from

1:51:091:51:14

children and parents but from

industry itself but says we have to

1:51:141:51:18

work together to make sure we

address this.

Abby, do you think the

1:51:181:51:23

initiative from the Duke of

Cambridge getting the likes of

1:51:231:51:26

Facebook and snap chat on board is

going to make a difference to cyber

1:51:261:51:29

bullying?

I think it's a great first

step and it's in purging to seize

1:51:291:51:35

social networking sites, children's

members from the Internet can come

1:51:351:51:41

together to come up with innovative

solutions together. As I say this is

1:51:411:51:45

a first step but we would like to

continue to seize social networking

1:51:451:51:49

sites doing more to protect children

and we think ultimately a statutory

1:51:491:51:54

code of conduct is required to make

sure they meet their requirements

1:51:541:51:58

and do more to keep children safe on

the platforms but this is an in

1:51:581:52:01

purging chat.

Thanks so much all of

you. -- but this is encouraging in

1:52:011:52:13

doing that.

1:52:131:52:23

Now some of you may have seen this

already doing the rounds on social

1:52:231:52:26

media but the rapper Drake has drawn

praise from fans after stopping

1:52:261:52:29

a performance at a nightclub

in Australia to call out a man

1:52:291:52:32

who was apparently "groping" female

members of the crowd.

1:52:321:52:32

Our entertainment reporter

Chi Chi Izundu has more...

1:53:081:53:16

Pretty incredible footage, do we

know how it unfolded?

We don't

1:53:161:53:20

actually, there is other footage

from other fans in the crowd and you

1:53:201:53:24

can see some security guard with

torches going into the crowd,

1:53:241:53:27

whether that person was ejected from

the club we don't know. But Drake as

1:53:271:53:31

she could hear it said he wasn't

playing with him, he wanted him to

1:53:311:53:36

stop putting his hands on girls. It

is incredible footage, for one of

1:53:361:53:42

the biggest rappers in the world, or

you could even arguably call him the

1:53:421:53:47

biggest rapper in the world if you

look at his history, calling out a

1:53:471:53:52

single fan, stopping a show to call

out a fan and you could see he was

1:53:521:53:56

quite annoyed. And then he continued

the concert after it seemed to have

1:53:561:54:00

stopped, whether the fan stopped or

was ejected we don't know.

He's not

1:54:001:54:06

the first music artist to call at

this kind of behaviour at a gig.

No,

1:54:061:54:09

Sam Carter from the British band the

architects stopped his gig to say

1:54:091:54:15

that he was unsure of whether he

should say this in public but he was

1:54:151:54:20

going to, he watched someone crowd

surfing and what he says was a man

1:54:201:54:25

groping a woman's Wadi. He then said

that this disgusting, if you don't

1:54:251:54:32

stop and you don't like what I've

said, then please leave, obviously

1:54:321:54:35

he used much worse language than

that. A number of artists are

1:54:351:54:41

calling out groping at gigs and

there are a number of female centric

1:54:411:54:44

help groups that have set up, have

been set up to help women who feel

1:54:441:54:49

when you are at the front of a gig

or add a mosh pit, pressed against

1:54:491:54:54

the barriers and you don't feel

someone is pressing against you in

1:54:541:54:58

the right way, there is a platform

to make a complaint.

Thank you for

1:54:581:55:02

coming down.

1:55:021:55:04

Well lets talk to someone

who was at the afterparty

1:55:041:55:06

at the Marquee Club -

joining me via webcam

1:55:061:55:08

is Bela Vrondos in Sydney...

1:55:081:55:16

Header. You aware of what was going

on before Drake stop?

I was in the

1:55:161:55:23

very front of the mosh pit and I was

within the whole groping situation,

1:55:231:55:29

everyone being pushed forward and it

was pretty crazy.

Were you being

1:55:291:55:35

groped, were lots of people being

groped?

I would say lots of people,

1:55:351:55:40

there were either ends of it and

most of the girls were at the very

1:55:401:55:44

front of the concert, we been

waiting for him to come out and by

1:55:441:55:47

the time he had come out the guys

had come from the sides into the

1:55:471:55:52

front area and tried to push their

way in, from every angle people were

1:55:521:55:55

getting groped and pushed and even

hurt. There were girls in their,

1:55:551:56:00

they were all of the front, I think

he saw one incident and it stop the

1:56:001:56:06

party, was unbelievable, he stopped

the music, he put him down twice,

1:56:061:56:11

told him to stop groping the girl,

all the girls went crazy, even the

1:56:111:56:15

boys, he was unbelievable. So good.

Were you surprised. This wasn't just

1:56:151:56:21

a case of in between, taking a drink

of water, this was mid-set.

It was

1:56:211:56:29

mid-song, we were all singing,

everyone had their phones out, it

1:56:291:56:33

was a really good environment. Aside

from the concert pushing thing, it

1:56:331:56:41

was a big surprise, Drake and his

songs, that is not much of this

1:56:411:56:46

prize us girls, we know how much

chill of size and supports us, yes,

1:56:461:56:53

probably why all the guys went crazy

after that, so good, he really said

1:56:531:56:58

the five.

Was it clear at the man

who was groping women was rejected

1:56:581:57:04

left started to behave like a

reasonable human being?

No, I don't

1:57:041:57:08

think anybody was actually in, Ike

can't say that indirectly, there

1:57:081:57:15

were people everywhere, everything

had settled down, I did not see

1:57:151:57:19

anyone injected, security were

amazing, they had torches out, they

1:57:191:57:24

work looking out for us girls, they

looked out for me and my friends,

1:57:241:57:28

the utmost commendation for that.

Everything went back to normal, he

1:57:281:57:33

went back onto a song and it was

like nothing had happened, besides

1:57:331:57:37

him boosting the energy and showing

us much love. It was really good.

1:57:371:57:42

Thank you ever so much for speaking

to us. So many of you still getting

1:57:421:57:48

in touch with us about the

conversation we had with Andy

1:57:481:57:52

Woodward, a year ago since he sat on

the sofa with Victoria and talked

1:57:521:57:56

about being abused as a young

footballer. Derek says I want to

1:57:561:58:00

wish Andy every success on his very

lonely journey so far. There will be

1:58:001:58:05

light at the end of it. Sharon says

I am a social worker, I've worked

1:58:051:58:10

with children for many years who

have been abused, so important and

1:58:101:58:13

brave of him to come forward and

make a change for hundreds of

1:58:131:58:17

children. So many more messages.

Thank you for everyone who got in

1:58:171:58:21

touch.

1:58:211:58:23

BBC Newsroom live is coming up next.

1:58:231:58:25

Have a good day.
