0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hello, it's 9am, I'm Victoria Derbyshire.
0:00:08 > 0:00:13Welcome to the programme.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Donald Trump has changed the direction of 70 years
0:00:15 > 0:00:17of American foreign policy by recognising Jerusalem
0:00:17 > 0:00:19as the capital of Israel.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22World leaders continue to condemn his decision ahead
0:00:22 > 0:00:27of an emergency meeting of the United Nations
0:00:27 > 0:00:37It is time to officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Also today, models speak exclusively to us about sexual
0:00:41 > 0:00:42harassment and exploitation in the multi-billion
0:00:42 > 0:00:48pound fashion industry.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Our report in 15 minutes.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04If you work in the fashion industry, tell us your own
0:01:04 > 0:01:07experiences this morning.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Will there be a fresh Brexit offer on the Irish border in the next 24
0:01:10 > 0:01:16hours from Prime Minister Theresa May?
0:01:16 > 0:01:21We will talk to the headteacher, a farmer and health campaigner who
0:01:21 > 0:01:26crossed the open border between North and South each to see how they
0:01:26 > 0:01:32feel about changes that could affect every aspect of their lives.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Hello.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11am this morning.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45We are going to hear Resham Khan's story.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49That's after 10am.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52She had acid thrown in her face by a stranger and suffered
0:01:52 > 0:01:54life-changing injuries and has gone on to campaign for a change
0:01:54 > 0:01:57in the law on selling acid.
0:01:57 > 0:02:05Quite a remarkable woman. That is a photograph taken much more recently.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Do watch the interview after 10am. She describes how she pities her
0:02:10 > 0:02:17attacker. Also today... We would like to hear from you about how long
0:02:17 > 0:02:21you have waited in the A&E. New figures suggesting waiting times
0:02:21 > 0:02:27have doubled in the last few years. We will talk about that after
0:02:27 > 0:02:319:30am.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Our top story today.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Mahmoud Abbas has called for an intifada. The US decision has been
0:02:41 > 0:02:45wildly criticised around the world, including by some of America's
0:02:45 > 0:02:49closest allies, like Britain, France and Saudi Arabia. The UN Security
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Council will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow to debate the move.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00Laura Bicker reports.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Jerusalem, the city 6000 miles from the US, the subject of a campaign
0:03:04 > 0:03:09promise by Donald Trump to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to
0:03:09 > 0:03:16Jerusalem and recognise the holy city as Israel's capital.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Trump's team sent out a simple message,
0:03:20 > 0:03:21"Promise made, promise kept."
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Today we finally acknowledge the obvious,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25that Jerusalem is Israel's capital.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28This is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33It is also the right thing to do.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Already the protests have begun, peaceful, for
0:03:36 > 0:03:39now, but the fear of unrest has prompted the Pentagon to put
0:03:39 > 0:03:47American embassies and consulatess on alert.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50President Trump spoke of the peace process but did not give details
0:03:50 > 0:03:53on how this announcement brought that goal any closer.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56We want an agreement that is a great deal for the Israelis, and a great
0:03:56 > 0:04:06deal for the Palestinians.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12At least eight UN countries have called for an emergency meeting but
0:04:12 > 0:04:16while the international reaction is mostly one of condemnation, at home,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20President Trump can say he has ticked off another pledge and he
0:04:20 > 0:04:28does not seem concerned that on this decision America stands alone.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Our correspondent told us how the decision was being received in the
0:04:31 > 0:04:36city itself.So far, things have remained calm on the streets of
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Jerusalem. There were protests into the evening yesterday in Gaza where
0:04:41 > 0:04:46people were burning American flags and pictures of Donald Trump. In the
0:04:46 > 0:04:49occupied West Bank, there are demonstrations, rallies, planned for
0:04:49 > 0:04:56today. More broadly, in terms of the diplomatic reaction to Donald
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03there has been widespread condemnation, particularly from
0:05:03 > 0:05:07leaders in the Arab and Muslim world. The Palestinian President
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Mahmoud Abbas called the decision reprehensible and he said this in
0:05:12 > 0:05:17effect disqualifies the US from its historic role as being a broker for
0:05:17 > 0:05:20peace. Between Israelis and Palestinians. The list has been
0:05:20 > 0:05:26growing as to the number of countries, leaders, who have
0:05:26 > 0:05:29expressed concern, criticism or outright condemnation of this
0:05:29 > 0:05:36decision by the White House. In terms of the Israelis, the Israeli
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Prime Minister, Netanyahu, last night, he hailed this as a historic
0:05:40 > 0:05:47decision, he said it was recognition deserved of Israelis to have
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Jerusalem as their capital city. He said other countries should move
0:05:51 > 0:05:56there embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, to follow the suit of the
0:05:56 > 0:06:03US. He was at pains to stress that he said there would be no change
0:06:03 > 0:06:08whatsoever in what is known as the status quo, the arrangement to
0:06:08 > 0:06:12administer the key sensitive holy sites in the old city of Jerusalem.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Later on, we will hear from our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen.
0:06:16 > 0:06:29The rest of this morning's news. Good morning.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31The Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, has said Theresa May
0:06:31 > 0:06:34is expected to put forward a new offer on the issue
0:06:34 > 0:06:35of the Irish border later today.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38A draft agreement between Mrs May and the European Union,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41which would have allowed the Brexit negotiations to move on to trade,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43was blocked on Monday by the Democratic Unionists.
0:06:43 > 0:06:4619 Tory MPs who back a soft Brexit have written to Mrs May,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48saying it was highly irresponsible for anyone to dictate terms
0:06:48 > 0:06:53which may scupper a deal.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, has said no
0:06:55 > 0:06:57British citizen who has fought for the Islamic State group should
0:06:57 > 0:06:59be allowed back into the country.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Mr Williamson, who was promoted to his post last month, told
0:07:01 > 0:07:06the Daily Mail that the fighters should be hunted down and killed,
0:07:06 > 0:07:11because "a dead terrorist couldn't cause any harm to Britain".
0:07:11 > 0:07:14The number of patients waiting more than four hours in accident
0:07:14 > 0:07:16and emergency departments in the UK has more than doubled
0:07:16 > 0:07:18in the last four years.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Research by the BBC has found over 3 million people experienced longer
0:07:21 > 0:07:31waits than the A&E target in the last 12 months.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Here is our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Right across the UK, accident and emergency departments
0:07:36 > 0:07:38have been working at full capacity.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Now BBC analysis shows how an already busy system
0:07:40 > 0:07:43is struggling to cope.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49The waiting time targets to treat or deal with 95% of patients
0:07:49 > 0:07:53within four hours have been missed across the country.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55In the past year, more than 3 million patients waited
0:07:55 > 0:07:57longer than four hours - an increase of 120%
0:07:57 > 0:08:03on four years ago.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06But visits to A&E are up by only 7%, to nearly 27 million.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09To ensure the target is met, the NHS will need to build
0:08:09 > 0:08:11an additional 20 more A&E departments.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15There is no more capacity in the system.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Staff are working really hard, our nurses, our doctors,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and we have reached a point where we, unfortunately,
0:08:19 > 0:08:28cannot meet that demand.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Scotland has come closest to hitting the target,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34while England has seen the biggest increase in those facing a long
0:08:34 > 0:08:37wait, but performance is even worse in Wales.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Northern Ireland manages to see just three quarters
0:08:38 > 0:08:45of patients within four hours.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48A busier NHS means longer waiting times and as we head
0:08:48 > 0:08:50into what could be a very hard winter, there is little sign
0:08:50 > 0:08:52of respite for staff or patients.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Dominic Hughes, BBC News.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59The accounts of Bath Spa University show that its departing
0:08:59 > 0:09:02vice-chancellor, Professor Christina Slade, received more than £800,000
0:09:02 > 0:09:06last year in pay and benefits.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Ten days ago, the vice-chancellor of Bath University announced
0:09:09 > 0:09:11she would step down in 2019 after complaints from students
0:09:11 > 0:09:17and staff about her pay.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The university and College union said the pay and pensions of some
0:09:20 > 0:09:26senior staff made them look greedy and out of touch.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29A fast-moving wildfire in southern California has hit the US state's
0:09:29 > 0:09:31main costal highway and reached the Pacific Ocean according
0:09:31 > 0:09:32to firefighters tackling the blaze.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35The homes of more than 150,000 people have been evacuated
0:09:35 > 0:09:37in an area north of Los Angeles and hundreds of buildings
0:09:37 > 0:09:38have been damaged.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Strong winds are expected to further hinder efforts to contain the fire
0:09:41 > 0:09:47which is still endangering some 12,000 properties.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49The Australian parliament has passed a bill to
0:09:49 > 0:09:50legalise same-sex marriage.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53The bill was passed after a long debate in which more
0:09:53 > 0:09:55than 100 MPs spoke.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58The vote follows a referendum earlier this year, which showed
0:09:58 > 0:10:03a majority of people support the change.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Our Sydney correspondent said it marked the end of years of political
0:10:05 > 0:10:09wrangling.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11This really is a landmark moment in Australian politics,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13the culmination really of more than a decade of
0:10:13 > 0:10:15debate and division.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19This has been probably the most divisive issue in Australian
0:10:19 > 0:10:22politics for a long time, ever since in 2004 the Australian
0:10:22 > 0:10:25government changed the law then to say that marriage could only be
0:10:25 > 0:10:28between a man and a woman, to the exclusion of all others.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30That triggered a long campaign which has finally finished today
0:10:30 > 0:10:33with the change in law.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38We saw jubilation on the floor of the House of Representatives,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41a rainbow flag unfurled, lots of cheering, the politicians
0:10:41 > 0:10:47applauding campaigners in the public gallery who applauded them back.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Also a victory for Australia's Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, who took
0:10:50 > 0:10:54something of a personal gamble by supporting this change.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Certainly, people within his party have been resistant,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00not least his predecessor, Tony Abbott, who spoke
0:11:00 > 0:11:02several times today, trying to raise amendments and make
0:11:02 > 0:11:08changes to the bill.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12But ultimately, no changes were made and same-sex marriage we expect
0:11:12 > 0:11:15will be legal in Australia within the New Year.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Anyone who wants to get married will actually have to book a wedding
0:11:19 > 0:11:21one month in advance, so we think early January
0:11:21 > 0:11:25will be the first time we see the weddings.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Certainly, I know lots of couples already sending out invites hoping
0:11:28 > 0:11:35they can make their relationship legal in the eyes of Australian law.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37A feathered dinosaur, resembling a swan, has been
0:11:37 > 0:11:39discovered by scientists.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41The creature had scythe-like claws, a reptilian tail
0:11:41 > 0:11:43and a beak lined with teeth.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48It's thought to have lived 75 million years ago,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50and was a therapod - like Tyrannosaurus Rex.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It may have been the first dinosaur to adopt the lifestyle
0:11:53 > 0:11:56of a modern-day water bird.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59The UK's next City of Culture will be named later today as Hull's
0:11:59 > 0:12:04year-long celebration in the spotlight nears an end.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Coventry, Paisley, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunderland and Swansea are in
0:12:06 > 0:12:14the running for the 2021 title.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23This e-mail from Stuart, your experiences of how long you had
0:12:23 > 0:12:27waited in A&E, we took our elderly mother-in-law A&E evening after
0:12:27 > 0:12:34having called 111. She had acute back pain, she spent approximately
0:12:34 > 0:12:3921 hours on the ward, eight hours of which was sitting on a hard plastic
0:12:39 > 0:12:44chair and the rest on a trolley. Care in this time was contradictory
0:12:44 > 0:12:49and confusing. She was eventually admitted to a ward where she spent
0:12:49 > 0:12:52four hours before eventually being sent home by a doctor with
0:12:52 > 0:12:59antibiotics and painkillers at about 9pm on Monday night. Tuesday
0:12:59 > 0:13:03morning, she was confused, unable to move her right hand, an ambulance
0:13:03 > 0:13:08came to take her back to being tee. She spent a further ten hours there
0:13:08 > 0:13:12before being admitted. Do the same ward she was discharged from the
0:13:12 > 0:13:17previous night. This whole experience has caused her immense
0:13:17 > 0:13:23distress. Thank you, Stuart. You can share your experiences. New analysis
0:13:23 > 0:13:28shows waiting times in A&E have doubled in the last few years. You
0:13:28 > 0:13:40can send me an e-mail. Or you can WhatsApp or Facebook or text. Sport.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Record-breaking night for English football in Europe? The Liverpool
0:13:44 > 0:13:48boss Jurgen Klopp says he is still fearing a tough draw for the last 16
0:13:48 > 0:13:51of the Champions League. That is despite their great goal-scoring
0:13:51 > 0:13:57form at the moment. They finished top of the group last night, 7-0
0:13:57 > 0:14:00demolition of Spartak Moscow including a hat-trick for Philippe
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Coutinho playing very well at the moment. Another couple of goals for
0:14:04 > 0:14:10Sadio Mane a, that victory also means record-breaking four English
0:14:10 > 0:14:12clubs, five of them reaching the knockout stages of the competition
0:14:12 > 0:14:20for the first time. -- for English clubs.This year, it is quite
0:14:20 > 0:14:26special. I do not think you can face often Bayern Munich and Real Madrid
0:14:26 > 0:14:34in the last 16, if you win the group. And all the others. So that
0:14:34 > 0:14:41is quite interesting.Indeed it is. An interesting draw. Takes place on
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Monday. Also last night, Manchester City were beaten for the first time
0:14:45 > 0:14:49in 29 games, 2-1 by Shakhtar Donetsk. They finished the group
0:14:49 > 0:14:56stage unbeaten,, both of the Premier League teams going through as group
0:14:56 > 0:15:01winners as well. We talked about the Winter Olympics on the programme
0:15:01 > 0:15:04yesterday and the fact Russia will be banned but some Russian athletes
0:15:04 > 0:15:08will be able to compete?We will see more Russian athletes banned over
0:15:08 > 0:15:14the coming months and years. Their Olympic committee has been banned by
0:15:14 > 0:15:19the IOC. Banned from taking part in next year's Winter Games in South
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Korea. Russian athletes who prove they are clean are at the moment
0:15:22 > 0:15:26likely to be able to take part. The IOC president Thomas Bach says a
0:15:26 > 0:15:32final decision on that will be made next week. This week Great Britain's
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Kelly Southwark and was awarded a heptathlete runs from 2008 after a
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Russian athlete lost an appeal against a retrospective
0:15:40 > 0:15:45disqualification.
0:15:45 > 0:15:56I personally think it should be a total ban. Regardless of the few
0:15:56 > 0:15:59athletes in Russia who are potentially clean, or who can prove
0:15:59 > 0:16:05they are, they are still rationed. If they compete it will be under the
0:16:05 > 0:16:09banner athletes from Russia, rather than neutral athletes and that may
0:16:09 > 0:16:14well suggest the IOC has agreed some kind of deal with Vladimir Putin to
0:16:14 > 0:16:21avoid what would be the first boycott of the games since 1984.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Could we be seeing a return for England cricketer Ben Stokes?The
0:16:26 > 0:16:31English fans have their fingers crossed for it. After defeat in the
0:16:31 > 0:16:34first two English tests there is a criticism over a lack of fighting
0:16:34 > 0:16:38spirit in the team at the moment and what they would give to see him out
0:16:38 > 0:16:45there with them. He has been named in their one-day squad for the five
0:16:45 > 0:16:48match series in Australia in the New Year. He has not played since being
0:16:48 > 0:16:52arrested following an incident outside the Bristol nightclub in
0:16:52 > 0:16:55September. Alex Hales is not currently being considered for
0:16:55 > 0:17:01selection. It does not mean either will play in the series. The ECB are
0:17:01 > 0:17:04yet to decide on what disciplinary action they will take. They are
0:17:04 > 0:17:07waiting to see if charges are brought against him, so at the
0:17:07 > 0:17:12moment it is a waiting game for the England fans.Thank you very much,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Hugh. More from him this morning.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17More from him this morning.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20One of the stories of this year has seen hundreds of women -
0:17:20 > 0:17:22and some men - choosing to speak out about the sexual harassment
0:17:22 > 0:17:24and exploitation they'd endured in Hollywood,
0:17:24 > 0:17:25going back decades.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Since allegations were made against film producer
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Harvey Weinstein and then actor Kevin Spacey, people in other
0:17:30 > 0:17:38professions were inspired to reveal their own stories as part
0:17:38 > 0:17:39of the #MeToo movement, so much so, they've
0:17:39 > 0:17:45collectively been named Time Magazine's Person of the Year.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47There's Time's iconic cover - Adama Iwu at the front,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50with Isabel Pascaul, Ashley Judd, Susan Fowler
0:17:50 > 0:17:57and Taylor Swfit along the back.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Many, but not all the examples, involve an abuse of power -
0:18:00 > 0:18:03a man in a more senior position taking advantage of a male or female
0:18:03 > 0:18:04in a less senior role.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07This morning we're going to bring you exclusively, stories of some
0:18:07 > 0:18:12working in the modelling industry - and they are pretty grim.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Back in October, some publications announced they would stop
0:18:16 > 0:18:18using the photographer Terry Richardson
0:18:18 > 0:18:21after a number of models accused him of sexual exploitation and abuse.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Today we're going to bring you the testimonies of some models.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29You may find this film uncomfortable to watch
0:18:29 > 0:18:33and if you have children with you, you might not want them to see it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:41
0:19:04 > 0:19:13There's quite a few examples.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I turned up at the shoot, at the studio, got the clothes on,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18everything is fine, doing the different shots.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I went to the bathroom, for a break.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Came back and the photographer was on his knees, where
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I was supposed to be standing.
0:19:27 > 0:19:34He grabbed me and he wanted me to perform an act on him.
0:19:34 > 0:19:42And I just froze.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I was sexually assaulted by a stylist from a
0:19:49 > 0:19:52well-known hair brand.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56He grabbed me by the throat, grabbed me in between my legs
0:19:56 > 0:19:58and he told me that my body was disgusting.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I could not get out, I did not have keys,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I did not have a phone.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I pushed him away when he tried to kiss me.
0:20:05 > 0:20:15He ended up masturbating lying next to me.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28There was a pretty popular photographer who wanted to shoot me,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31but because we were in separate states, he wanted me to send nude
0:20:31 > 0:20:38photos of myself to him.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42I remember him asking me and me knowing, I know I don't know much
0:20:42 > 0:20:46about the industry yet, but I'm pretty sure that I don't
0:20:46 > 0:20:49have to send you a nude photo, for you to be able to tell what kind
0:20:49 > 0:20:52of model you want.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57I kind of tried to appease him but still do it my way,
0:20:57 > 0:21:02so I thought I would send him photos of myself in my bikini.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06He lashed out through text message, if you aren't ready for the real
0:21:06 > 0:21:09modelling world, don't waste my time.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23I think there are about ten or 11 girls booked for this,
0:21:23 > 0:21:28we were going to do the shots in situ, so it was in a bar.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32We had a uniform we were supposed to wear, with the name of the bar
0:21:32 > 0:21:36and stuff and we had to go and have our hair and make-up done.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39And the cameraman and the photographer came out
0:21:39 > 0:21:42and said, OK, girls, how many of you are
0:21:42 > 0:21:45prepared to do nude?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I was a bit shocked because about half of the girls got
0:21:48 > 0:21:51up and sat down next door.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And the rest of us said, we're not prepared to do that
0:21:54 > 0:21:55because that was not part of the shoot.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59And they were like, oh well, if you are not prepared to do nude
0:21:59 > 0:22:03photos then you have not got through the casting.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09And we said, "This is the job, not the casting."
0:22:09 > 0:22:12"No no no, this was actually just the casting and you didn't get
0:22:12 > 0:22:14through the casting."
0:22:14 > 0:22:24"So, yeah, bye."
0:22:30 > 0:22:32This was one of my favourite photo shoots.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37The photographer is extremely talented.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40But, at the end of the shoot, I was asked if I wanted
0:22:40 > 0:22:51to hook up and fool around.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Mind you, I just putting my clothes back on and I am feeling
0:22:54 > 0:22:56really uncomfortable.
0:22:56 > 0:23:17Normally, I would just kind of laugh it off and pretend like, I don't
0:24:12 > 0:24:18My first thought was, am I going to get paid for this? Then he might go
0:24:18 > 0:24:29to the agent and say something.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We did invite the British Fashion Council onto the show,
0:24:34 > 0:24:35but they didn't respond.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38We also asked the Association of Model Agents.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41They declined to give us an interview but they did tell us
0:24:41 > 0:24:43that they have now set up an an independent reporting system
0:24:43 > 0:24:46for models to report abuse, that will come into place
0:24:46 > 0:24:47in the next couple of weeks.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50They wanted to make clear that their agencies have a huge duty
0:24:50 > 0:24:53of care to their models and do everything within their
0:24:53 > 0:24:54power to protect them.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58They said they don't send them to meetings at hotels or private
0:24:58 > 0:25:03addresses with clients or photographers who they do not know.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Terry Richardson denies the allegations made against him.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09We can now speak to the British fashion commentator
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Caryn Franklin, from the Kingston School of Art
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and model Eunice Olumide.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Obviously the nature of the conversation means
0:25:15 > 0:25:18you might not want children to hear the conversation
0:25:18 > 0:25:27Welcome to both of you. The world of fashion, it objectifies women, is it
0:25:27 > 0:25:32inevitable sadly that some women and men are going to be the victims of
0:25:32 > 0:25:39sexual harassment or exploitation.I do not think good practice needs to
0:25:39 > 0:25:44objectify women. We all relate to Salford and identity and in the
0:25:44 > 0:25:54women's market, women do not need to seek female women sexualise --
0:25:54 > 0:26:07sexhood. The male gaze, what do you mean you cannot give me that look?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Sex it up. The model loses power as her boundaries are eroded. That is
0:26:11 > 0:26:17what we are struggling with, to create a safe space for models were
0:26:17 > 0:26:22those professional boundaries are not overstepped as a perk of the
0:26:22 > 0:26:27job.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33Do you relate to some of the testimony?Completely. In any
0:26:33 > 0:26:36industry there are rules and regulations. It is not acceptable
0:26:36 > 0:26:40because you are a fashion model, although I understand why people
0:26:40 > 0:26:44fall into those situations, it has to be appropriate on set all the
0:26:44 > 0:26:56time.So why is there not?It is almost self regulated. Institutions
0:26:56 > 0:26:59or organisations, regardless of what they are, when they are self
0:26:59 > 0:27:04regulated the correct checks are not done. There is now an association of
0:27:04 > 0:27:11model agencies and an organisation such as equity. But I feel it is
0:27:11 > 0:27:14disappointing it has taken so long for any of these things to come
0:27:14 > 0:27:20around.Also there is not a direct route where the agencies themselves,
0:27:20 > 0:27:26although full of individuals, some of whom are very caring, there is
0:27:26 > 0:27:34not a direct route for the agency to flag up that preventative cancelling
0:27:34 > 0:27:43and signpost away for complaint and immediate joining to the Equity
0:27:43 > 0:27:49union by which models learn about their rights. Having spoken to
0:27:49 > 0:27:56Emanuel, he has invited all models... Explain who he is. From
0:27:56 > 0:28:00equity models union, whether or not they are members of the union they
0:28:00 > 0:28:09can receive independent advice and guidance.It is essential. One of
0:28:09 > 0:28:14the issues I find is if you do have a problem you risk the fact of being
0:28:14 > 0:28:16highlighted is difficult to work with if you say anything at all and
0:28:16 > 0:28:23this is a major issue.Has happened to you?Yes, I have had experiences
0:28:23 > 0:28:28were photographers or other people have behaved inappropriately. You
0:28:28 > 0:28:32say something to the photographer and you are in serious trouble.
0:28:32 > 0:28:39Unfortunately I do not necessarily agree, sometimes when it comes to
0:28:39 > 0:28:44agencies they might not necessarily respond favourably to you.That is
0:28:44 > 0:28:49an important point, it is the money. You said something interesting, if
0:28:49 > 0:28:52you say something to the photographer, you are in big
0:28:52 > 0:28:58trouble. What do you mean?I have had a situation where I felt someone
0:28:58 > 0:29:02was not behaving correctly and that led to me not getting booked for
0:29:02 > 0:29:06several years. I did not know that because I had said something out
0:29:06 > 0:29:11loud that person had then defamed my character and made out like I was
0:29:11 > 0:29:16some kind of diva on set and it was nothing to do with that.What did
0:29:16 > 0:29:20that individual try to do?The most important thing rather than going
0:29:20 > 0:29:25into the details was the consequences of that and the
0:29:25 > 0:29:33consequences of that word that that person felt challenged, so they went
0:29:33 > 0:29:37into a kind of attack mode and they did that by saying things about me
0:29:37 > 0:29:41which were unfair and untrue. Because they are in a position of
0:29:41 > 0:29:50power, everyone had believed them. Ultimately I am just a model.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Actually in our industry it is not correct for us to speak too much
0:29:53 > 0:29:59either onset or not.I am really upset, I was struck by a quote from
0:29:59 > 0:30:04another British model, Edie Campbell. When we go on set which
0:30:04 > 0:30:09enter into an unspoken contract. For that day we give our bodies and our
0:30:09 > 0:30:13fate is over to the photographer, the stylist, the make-up artist. We
0:30:13 > 0:30:18give up ownership for that day. 100%.How do you change that
0:30:18 > 0:30:26culture?There are a lot of things going on in the wider social,
0:30:26 > 0:30:31political and economic environment so we can see across industries,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34like there is this resurgence and people are paying attention and
0:30:34 > 0:30:40people are speaking out and I was so proud and inspired by so many of the
0:30:40 > 0:30:43established actresses and models who are now speaking about it because we
0:30:43 > 0:30:47really need them to come forward. Now they are in a place in their
0:30:47 > 0:30:50career whereby they can speak without having to worry about not
0:30:50 > 0:30:57getting booked.We have got to add that we need diverse perspectives.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Why is there an automatic assumption that a female model operating
0:31:01 > 0:31:06largely for a female audience has to adopt a sexualised pose.Dawn says
0:31:06 > 0:31:13this, it is not just the models who get harassed, ask the female
0:31:13 > 0:31:16assistants and the aspiring female photographers. At some point we have
0:31:16 > 0:31:21all been treated inappropriately.
0:31:21 > 0:31:27It is across all levels. It is a sense of entitlement that sadly a
0:31:27 > 0:31:33group of people in the industry, and it is mostly white, middle-aged men,
0:31:33 > 0:31:37who stepped into this role, they believe they have, in terms of their
0:31:37 > 0:31:46creative piratical -- tyrannical power. It should not be done to
0:31:46 > 0:31:50young models to fight their corner to change what is entrenched
0:31:50 > 0:31:55behaviour among very powerful groups. The whole industry has to
0:31:55 > 0:32:01get together and back an independent regulatory body that takes money and
0:32:01 > 0:32:05visionary leadership, something I have suggested, but actually, where
0:32:05 > 0:32:09will it come from and how will we make it happen?Thank you very much
0:32:09 > 0:32:15both of you. Really appreciate your time. Your views are welcome,
0:32:15 > 0:32:22particularly if you work in the fashion industry, as Dawn clearly
0:32:22 > 0:32:27does. The number of long waits has doubled in the past four years in
0:32:27 > 0:32:31A&E. What can be done?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Theresa May is under increasing pressure from all sides to break
0:32:33 > 0:32:36the impasse in the Brexit talks and reach an agreement over
0:32:36 > 0:32:37the future of the Irish border.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38We'll get the latest from our political
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Time for the latest news headlines this morning.
0:32:43 > 0:32:49Here's Annita.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53The leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement has called for a
0:32:53 > 0:32:59new intifada or popular uprising following President Trump's
0:32:59 > 0:33:05recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. It has been widely
0:33:05 > 0:33:09condemned by some of the US's closest allies. The UN Security
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Council will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow to debate the move.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16The Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, has said Theresa May
0:33:16 > 0:33:18is expected to put forward a new offer on the issue
0:33:18 > 0:33:20of the Irish border later today.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23A draft agreement between Mrs May and the European Union,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26which would have allowed the Brexit negotiations to move on to trade,
0:33:26 > 0:33:32was blocked on Monday by the Democratic Unionists.
0:33:32 > 0:33:3519 Tory MPs who back a soft Brexit have written to Mrs May,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38saying it was highly irresponsible for anyone to dictate terms
0:33:38 > 0:33:39which may scupper a deal.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, has said no
0:33:41 > 0:33:44British citizen who has fought for the Islamic State group should
0:33:44 > 0:33:46be allowed back into the country.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Mr Williamson, who was promoted to his post last month, told
0:33:50 > 0:33:53the Daily Mail that the fighters should be hunted down and killed,
0:33:53 > 0:33:58because "a dead terrorist couldn't cause any harm to Britain".
0:33:58 > 0:34:00The number of patients waiting more than four hours in accident
0:34:00 > 0:34:03and emergency departments in the UK has more than doubled
0:34:03 > 0:34:05in the last four years.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10Research by the BBC has found over 3 million people experienced longer
0:34:10 > 0:34:14waits than the A&E target in the last 12 months.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18The accounts of Bath Spa University show that its departing
0:34:18 > 0:34:21vice-chancellor, Professor Christina Slade, received more than £800,000
0:34:21 > 0:34:28last year in pay and benefits.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Ten days ago, the vice-chancellor of Bath University announced
0:34:30 > 0:34:32she would step down in 2019 after complaints from students
0:34:32 > 0:34:36and staff about her pay.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39The University and College Union said the pay and pensions of some
0:34:39 > 0:34:41senior staff made them look greedy and out of touch.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43The Australian parliament has passed a bill to
0:34:43 > 0:34:46legalise same-sex marriage.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49The bill was passed after a long debate in which more
0:34:49 > 0:34:50than 100 MPs spoke.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52The vote follows a referendum earlier this year, which showed
0:34:52 > 0:34:56a majority of people support the change.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59A fast-moving wildfire in southern California has hit the US state's
0:34:59 > 0:35:03main costal highway and reached the Pacific Ocean according
0:35:03 > 0:35:07to firefighters tackling the blaze.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10The homes of more than 150,000 people have been evacuated
0:35:10 > 0:35:12in an area north of Los Angeles and hundreds of buildings
0:35:12 > 0:35:17have been damaged.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Strong winds are expected to hinder efforts to contain the fire
0:35:20 > 0:35:23which is endangering some 12,000 properties.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26That's a summary of the latest BBC News.
0:35:26 > 0:35:34Thank you very much. This news just in, from the Home Office, a record
0:35:34 > 0:35:38400 arrests were made for terrorism related offences in the year to the
0:35:38 > 0:35:42end of September 20 17. Those figures just published. 400 arrests
0:35:42 > 0:35:49have been made in a 12 month period in this country for terrorism
0:35:49 > 0:35:55related offences from September, 2016, two September, 2017. That is a
0:35:55 > 0:36:04record according to the Home Office. Sport. Liverpool kept up the lethal
0:36:04 > 0:36:09goal-scoring form in the process, beating Spartak Moscow 7-0 making it
0:36:09 > 0:36:14five English clubs into the last 16 for the very first time. Pep
0:36:14 > 0:36:19Guardiola's Man City warmed up for this weekend's derby not as they had
0:36:19 > 0:36:24hoped, their first defeat since April, going down 2-1 at Shakhtar
0:36:24 > 0:36:29Donetsk in Ukraine. Could return the growing close of the Ben Stokes? He
0:36:29 > 0:36:33has not played since his arrest following an incident outside a
0:36:33 > 0:36:45nightclub in September. He has been named in the squad for
0:36:48 > 0:36:51the one-day series with Australia in the New Year. Mark King won for the
0:36:51 > 0:36:53last five frames to beat John Higgins at the UK Championship
0:36:53 > 0:36:55snooker. He will be joined in the quarterfinals by Stephen Maguire,
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Joe Perry and Ryan Day. More sport after ten.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00What's the longest you've sat for in accident and emergency
0:37:00 > 0:37:01waiting to be seen by a doctor?
0:37:01 > 0:37:05The BBC has found that A&E waiting times across the UK have more
0:37:05 > 0:37:06doubled in the last three years.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08There are differences between various parts of the UK,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11but England has seen the biggest rise where long waits
0:37:11 > 0:37:13are up by over 150%.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Let's find out what's behind the rise and what should be done.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19In Nuneaton is Dani Thorpe, who waited almost five hours
0:37:19 > 0:37:21with her nine-month old son, Max, after he was rushed to hospital.
0:37:21 > 0:37:31Wendy Preston is here, a nurse with almost 30 years experience.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33In our Birmingham studio is former Conservative Health Secretary,
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Stephen Dorrell.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36And here in the studio, Labour's Health Spokesman,
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Jonathan Ashworth.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Thank you for coming on the programme, all of you. Dani, it was
0:37:41 > 0:37:45late on a Saturday night, you took Max to hospital, when was the scene?
0:37:45 > 0:37:51I think it was about four hours after we arrived, he was eventually
0:37:51 > 0:37:56seen.What was the outcome?They just put it down to the
0:37:56 > 0:38:00bronchiolitis and told us there was nothing they could do and sent us
0:38:00 > 0:38:05home.What was it like while you were waiting? If it was within four
0:38:05 > 0:38:09hours, that is within the target, after the forum was, missing the
0:38:09 > 0:38:16target.It was definitely after four hours. The waiting room is not very
0:38:16 > 0:38:21comfortable. A lot of unhappy parents, unhappy children. A lot of
0:38:21 > 0:38:27poorly children that were not being seen too. It was just awful.How is
0:38:27 > 0:38:33Max now?Still on the mend. Not much better.I am sorry to hear that. You
0:38:33 > 0:38:38have been in nursing for almost three decades, Wendy, how typical a
0:38:38 > 0:38:44story is that in recent times?Very typical. I working clinical practice
0:38:44 > 0:38:51in Nuneaton, a bit of a coincidence. What we see is we have got in A&E a
0:38:51 > 0:38:56bottleneck, it is a final coming in with the bottle at the other end. --
0:38:56 > 0:39:02funnel. We have so many people coming to A&E from different
0:39:02 > 0:39:08directions and on the other side, so many delayed transfers of care. For
0:39:08 > 0:39:15example, in Nuneaton, I work for the out of hours GP service. One of the
0:39:15 > 0:39:22problems as we have such a lot of people to see in the out of hours GP
0:39:22 > 0:39:27service, face-to-face, home visits, palliative care, terminally ill. I
0:39:27 > 0:39:32work night shifts, the massive drop in district nursing. Over 40%
0:39:32 > 0:39:36reduction in district nursing numbers. In a lot of areas, there is
0:39:36 > 0:39:42no overnight district nursing service.People end up going to A&E?
0:39:42 > 0:39:46No, the out of hours GP service, Doctor or advanced nurse like
0:39:46 > 0:39:51myself, about visiting people who could have been seen by a district
0:39:51 > 0:39:56nurse, they might have catheter problems, they might need pain
0:39:56 > 0:40:01relief. No district nursing service, everything falls to the out of hours
0:40:01 > 0:40:05GP service.You were Health Secretary the last time the
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Conservatives were in government, what is going wrong?The declining
0:40:10 > 0:40:13availability of district nurses, there has also been a decline in the
0:40:13 > 0:40:22number of GPs, an increase in emergency room waiting times, as
0:40:22 > 0:40:29your headline reports, these are all different measures of increased
0:40:29 > 0:40:33demand and capacity not growing fast enough and very often not growing in
0:40:33 > 0:40:38the right place. If you think of one of the other stories often around
0:40:38 > 0:40:44when we consider these questions, the problems or pressures within
0:40:44 > 0:40:51social care. You mentioned discharges from hospital, but it is
0:40:51 > 0:40:55also social care preventing people going to hospital or to GPs and
0:40:55 > 0:40:59district nurses in the first place. You have not mentioned money in that
0:40:59 > 0:41:05list. Why do you think the Government does not give the NHS the
0:41:05 > 0:41:10money that the chief executive has asked for?That is a question you
0:41:10 > 0:41:15should put to the government. I am here as chair of the NHS
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Confederation. We made the same point to the Government that Simon
0:41:18 > 0:41:26Stevens made, that these questions, and I list the different pressure
0:41:26 > 0:41:30points on the health and care system, they are all measures of
0:41:30 > 0:41:38capacity, not growing fast enough, to meet the demand for service.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Labour's Jonathan Ashworth, the Department of Health colours they
0:41:40 > 0:41:45are spending an extra 435 million to cope with this winter -- the
0:41:45 > 0:41:50Department of Health tell us. And 1 billion extra to help meet adult
0:41:50 > 0:41:55social care needs. An awful lot of money.It is. And there has been a
0:41:55 > 0:42:01slight increase in NHS budget for the next 12 months after the
0:42:01 > 0:42:07Chancellor's budget that other week. But it is not enough. Traditionally,
0:42:07 > 0:42:11as Stephen will know from his time in the Cabinet, the NHS budget tends
0:42:11 > 0:42:16to increase by 4% a year on average, generally accepted as an increase
0:42:16 > 0:42:20which will meet the increasing needs and demands on the NHS. But under
0:42:20 > 0:42:24seven years of this government, the NHS budget has more less flat lined
0:42:24 > 0:42:30at 1%, seven of underfunding, capacity has not grown in the right
0:42:30 > 0:42:36places, for example, we have lost 14,000 beds in our hospitals. We
0:42:36 > 0:42:40think we now have vacancies that 35,000 nurses. The number of GPs is
0:42:40 > 0:42:46going down. Social care has been cut back very severely which means you
0:42:46 > 0:42:49have many elderly and vulnerable people in communities going without
0:42:49 > 0:42:54the care they would have got, often being cared for in hospitals with
0:42:54 > 0:43:01nowhere to go.Is it mostly about money? We know Labour would borrow
0:43:01 > 0:43:06to invest more. Is it mostly about amounts of money being poured in?We
0:43:06 > 0:43:11have to put the NHS on a proper sustainable financial footing for
0:43:11 > 0:43:14the future and the Labour Party in the general election recently
0:43:14 > 0:43:17pledged an extra £6 billion for the NHS in the next year. We said we
0:43:17 > 0:43:21would pay for that by making different decisions on taxation.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25More broadly, we have to resolve the social care crisis in this country
0:43:25 > 0:43:30and we have to resolve the workforce issues. We do not have enough
0:43:30 > 0:43:34doctors, nurses, paramedics. That is a long-term issue, you cannot
0:43:34 > 0:43:37resolve it overnight. There are things the Government could do like
0:43:37 > 0:43:42guaranteeing the rights of EU workers, bringing back the training
0:43:42 > 0:43:47bursary, a proper fair prey rise to help with retention issues as well.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51-- pay rise. Wendy, your own experience at the front line, what
0:43:51 > 0:43:56do you see would be good to change to make things better so patients
0:43:56 > 0:44:01are not waiting so long in A&E?You just talked about funding, stepped
0:44:01 > 0:44:05in the right direction to get extra funding, but it comes too late in
0:44:05 > 0:44:11the planning.We are where we are. What would you suggest?We need to
0:44:11 > 0:44:19plan the next year, the year after, so we can plan. I know in a hospital
0:44:19 > 0:44:24in Nuneaton, they are just spending the extra million pounds they had to
0:44:24 > 0:44:31redesign the A&E department so they can have out of hours GP services,
0:44:31 > 0:44:35walk-in centres, A&E, altogether. It takes time and building work.That
0:44:35 > 0:44:40is £1 million once banned, are you saying?It looks like it is a
0:44:40 > 0:44:50positive -- well spent. It needed to be done earlier in the year are not
0:44:50 > 0:44:55in the winter.Dani, as a taxpayer, a mum, someone who has spent longer
0:44:55 > 0:44:59than you would have wanted in A&E recently, what did you see that
0:44:59 > 0:45:03might be good to change to make things better for patients like
0:45:03 > 0:45:08yourself?I think if you are taken in by ambulance which we were,
0:45:08 > 0:45:12instead of being told you are not a priority, you should be seen as soon
0:45:12 > 0:45:16as you get there. I understand there are emergencies, that does not
0:45:16 > 0:45:21bother me, if there is an emergency, I have to wait, that is fine. We
0:45:21 > 0:45:26were taken in by ambulance. We walked through the main entrance of
0:45:26 > 0:45:33A&E and the whole coracle was lined with people -- the whole corridor.I
0:45:33 > 0:45:36have quite a lot of social media from people talking of similar
0:45:36 > 0:45:42stories.
0:45:42 > 0:45:47Andrew says, I was admitted in with pneumonia and was in A&E for 12
0:45:47 > 0:45:52hours on a trolley, five hours later I was sent home and within 24 hours
0:45:52 > 0:45:56I was readmitted. This time I spent 16 hours on a trolley and spent 11
0:45:56 > 0:46:01days in hospital before finally being sent home. There are quite a
0:46:01 > 0:46:06few like that. I am recovering from a broken leg, says Callum. I arrived
0:46:06 > 0:46:10in a taxi in unbelievable pain, someone got me a wheelchair and got
0:46:10 > 0:46:14me registered and within one hour my leg was reset and put in plaster and
0:46:14 > 0:46:20I was on my way to a ward in prep for surgery, they were amazing.
0:46:20 > 0:46:25Sheila says I and my husband attended our emergency department at
0:46:25 > 0:46:28Salisbury District Council three weeks ago. My husband was in pain
0:46:28 > 0:46:38and he was seen within an hour and he was admitted for tests and was
0:46:38 > 0:46:43admitted for further tests and went home the next day. Pearl says it
0:46:43 > 0:46:48comes as no surprise to me that waiting times are over 24 hours. How
0:46:48 > 0:46:53can it be any different when we have an increasing and ageing population?
0:46:53 > 0:46:58Doctors and nurses are doing a fantastic job and are only human.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Some A&E departments are doing really well despite the
0:47:00 > 0:47:07circumstances.That is a tribute to the tremendous staff who work in our
0:47:07 > 0:47:10hospitals. That story about waiting on a trolley is staggering and no
0:47:10 > 0:47:15one should put up with that. Some figures we research recently showed
0:47:15 > 0:47:21that in the last year there have been 565,000 people designated as
0:47:21 > 0:47:25waiting on a trolley. They are often waiting on a trolley in corridors
0:47:25 > 0:47:30and able to get a bed. The scale of the crisis affecting the NHS is huge
0:47:30 > 0:47:37at the moment.Thank you all very much for coming in. I have got an
0:47:37 > 0:47:41interesting e-mail from Rachel. It is quite long, so I will read later.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44It is quite long, so I will read later.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47If you want to know how your local hospital is doing, use the BBC NHS

0:47:56 > 0:48:02Coming up: How one acid attack victim has gone on to campaign
0:48:02 > 0:48:05to change the law on selling acid, and earlier this year was named
0:48:05 > 0:48:06one of BBC's 100 Women.
0:48:06 > 0:48:13We'll hear from Resham Khan later in the programme.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Another day of pressure for Theresa May, as efforts continue
0:48:15 > 0:48:17to break the Brexit impasse over Ireland.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19It's thought the Prime Minister could come up with new proposals
0:48:19 > 0:48:23within the next 24 hours in an attempt to get over this last
0:48:23 > 0:48:27hurdle before the UK and the EU can start trade talks.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30The Democratic Unionist Party, which Mrs May depends on for support,
0:48:30 > 0:48:35says there's still work to be done, while the Irish Prime Minister,
0:48:35 > 0:48:39Leo Varadkar, says he's willing to consider new ideas.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42So why has this massive set of negotiations stalled over a
0:48:42 > 0:48:45300-mile border on an island on the outer edge of Europe?
0:48:45 > 0:48:53Let's talk to our political correspondent Chris Mason.
0:48:53 > 0:49:00Sorry, Ian Watson. Are we expecting a new form of words to be put to the
0:49:00 > 0:49:04EU from Theresa May in the next 24 hours?That is the hope of the Irish
0:49:04 > 0:49:10government. However, Downing Street are not quite so optimistic and
0:49:10 > 0:49:14crucially the DUP, the party propping up Theresa May's
0:49:14 > 0:49:18Administration at Westminster are sounding more downbeat. They are
0:49:18 > 0:49:22suggesting there will not be a deal this week. The chief EU negotiator
0:49:22 > 0:49:27Michel Barnier said he and the EU ambassadors need to know if the deal
0:49:27 > 0:49:31will be done by tomorrow evening. When I spoke to Chris Grayling this
0:49:31 > 0:49:34morning he was saying the real deadline for him is not until this
0:49:34 > 0:49:39time next week when there is a big summit of all the European leaders.
0:49:39 > 0:49:46There is lots of talk about deadlines. We are going to get on
0:49:46 > 0:49:50with the job as quickly as we can to find the right way forward, but I am
0:49:50 > 0:49:53in no doubt that over the coming days if there is a will to find an
0:49:53 > 0:49:57agreement, that agreement will be found regardless of what time of
0:49:57 > 0:50:06night or day it is. We are all working towards reaching an
0:50:06 > 0:50:09agreement. There are different people saying different things about
0:50:09 > 0:50:14what we have to do that and when. I am sure people will be flexible.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Chris Grayling sounded optimistic and suggesting the end of this week
0:50:17 > 0:50:22is not a deadline for him. But apart from that what is the substance?
0:50:22 > 0:50:28Bear with me. The government is talking about full alignment post
0:50:28 > 0:50:32Brexit between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. That means
0:50:32 > 0:50:35you can have different rules and regulations either side of the
0:50:35 > 0:50:39border as long as they had similar standards. That could lead to
0:50:39 > 0:50:44frictionless trade and no need for a border. Whether they can convince
0:50:44 > 0:50:49the DUP that language is acceptable will be absolutely crucial.Full
0:50:49 > 0:50:50alignment! Ian Watson.
0:50:50 > 0:50:51Ian Watson.
0:50:51 > 0:50:52
0:50:52 > 0:50:54So, that border between Northern Ireland and the Republic
0:50:54 > 0:50:57of Ireland runs for 310 miles and up to 35,000 people, including workers,
0:50:57 > 0:50:59schoolchildren and hospital patients, are among those who travel
0:50:59 > 0:51:01across the border every day both ways.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04There are farms whose fields straddle the border and even homes
0:51:04 > 0:51:07where you can have your breakfast in the north and go
0:51:07 > 0:51:09to sleep in the south.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11How do people living and working along the border feel
0:51:11 > 0:51:16about possible changes to border control after Brexit?
0:51:16 > 0:51:20Let's talk to Maree Lindsay who is principal of St Mary's College
0:51:20 > 0:51:22in Derry-Londonderry.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25She lives in the Republic of Ireland and crosses the border every day
0:51:25 > 0:51:28to go to work at her school in Northern Ireland.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32James Johnston runs Enniskillen Cattle Mart near the border.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34Many of the farmers that come to the market have land that
0:51:34 > 0:51:38straddles the border.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42And Betty Holmes is a member of Donegal Action for Cancer Care.
0:51:42 > 0:51:49The group is based in the Republic of Ireland but campaigns for people
0:51:49 > 0:51:51to be able to access nearby NHS health facilities
0:51:51 > 0:51:54in Northern Ireland.
0:51:54 > 0:52:00Welcome all of you. You cross the border every day to go to work. Give
0:52:00 > 0:52:03us an insight into the day-to-day practicalities of cross-border
0:52:03 > 0:52:09living and working.It is very seamless and it happens very easily
0:52:09 > 0:52:13at present. I live about a 15 Minute Drive from the school so when I get
0:52:13 > 0:52:19up in the morning I am in the Republic of Ireland in Donegal and I
0:52:19 > 0:52:23drive 15 minutes and there are no visible signs I am changing
0:52:23 > 0:52:26jurisdiction and moving into Northern Ireland.It is not obvious
0:52:26 > 0:52:31that you cross the border?Not really. If you are wide awake and I
0:52:31 > 0:52:38could point out the street signs and when you cross into Northern Ireland
0:52:38 > 0:52:43the signs are in miles per hour, not kilometres per hour, but that is the
0:52:43 > 0:52:47only difference.You have known a hard border during the troubles in
0:52:47 > 0:52:50the 1970s in particular. What is it like having to go through an army
0:52:50 > 0:52:56checkpoint?It is unpredictable and quite disruptive especially when you
0:52:56 > 0:53:00are in school and a timetable is running and classes need to be
0:53:00 > 0:53:04taught. Many days you would have travelled through without being
0:53:04 > 0:53:07stopped, but on occasions you could have been stopped and you never knew
0:53:07 > 0:53:11how long that delay was going to be. Even if you and your car were not
0:53:11 > 0:53:15going to be searched, many of the vehicles in front of you could have
0:53:15 > 0:53:20been pulled in to be searched. It was very disruptive and everyone
0:53:20 > 0:53:23travelling through those checkpoints had delays and had to cope with that
0:53:23 > 0:53:28unpredictability.No one is suggesting there will be army
0:53:28 > 0:53:31checkpoint in their ends up being a hard border, but it is interesting
0:53:31 > 0:53:36to get that insight. What do you feel potentially about the prospect
0:53:36 > 0:53:44if no deal can be agreed of a hard border again?Well, I would be very
0:53:44 > 0:53:50worried about a hard border. Apart from the practicalities and the
0:53:50 > 0:53:55delays and being able to get to work, and it is not just me, as you
0:53:55 > 0:53:58say there are thousands of people who cross for work and their
0:53:58 > 0:54:02studies, so it would be very disruptive. But also the idea of a
0:54:02 > 0:54:07hard border on people like me who live in a border area really impact
0:54:07 > 0:54:12on the society and on the community. I think we would see a fragmentation
0:54:12 > 0:54:17of that community and I think that is something I would worry about.
0:54:17 > 0:54:21That is interesting. It is not just about the economics. You are saying
0:54:21 > 0:54:25it is about peace, prosperity and the social well-being of people.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29James, you work in a family business, how important is an open
0:54:29 > 0:54:34border for you and your business? Again it is crucial to keep the
0:54:34 > 0:54:43border open and seamless. As has been mentioned even before the
0:54:43 > 0:54:46economy thankfully there are great North - South relations at the
0:54:46 > 0:54:51minute and any disruption to that would be very unwelcome.There are
0:54:51 > 0:54:56farmers who trades at your market who have land that straddles the
0:54:56 > 0:55:00border. They literally do have one field in the north and one field in
0:55:00 > 0:55:04the south. What I their concerns about potentially a border that runs
0:55:04 > 0:55:09through their land having tighter controls?They are very worried
0:55:09 > 0:55:17about that. We have a cattle sale on here today and this spans into the
0:55:17 > 0:55:21south and they are bringing their cattle to ask and there are a lot of
0:55:21 > 0:55:26farmers who have land both sides, farms both sides, and the prospect
0:55:26 > 0:55:29of being slowed down, even small delays, whenever they cross that
0:55:29 > 0:55:34border multiple times during the day can add up to major disruption. Some
0:55:34 > 0:55:41have even said if that was the case, they would have to consider stopping
0:55:41 > 0:55:44the farm on whatever side of the border they had the least land on.
0:55:44 > 0:55:52That is interesting. Betty, let me bring you in. Your family has had a
0:55:52 > 0:55:55history of cancer which has led to you campaigning on health services
0:55:55 > 0:55:59and campaigning for people being able to access services
0:55:59 > 0:56:03cross-border. What difference does that make to people would you say?
0:56:03 > 0:56:08Well, the difference you could just not comprehend it. The best way to
0:56:08 > 0:56:13explain it or bring it into context is we are in Donegal, part of the
0:56:13 > 0:56:17Republic of Ireland and literally 15 minutes from my home we are in
0:56:17 > 0:56:23Londonderry, part of the UK. It has a major impact. The best way to
0:56:23 > 0:56:28highlight it to you is we put together a map of Ireland, the
0:56:28 > 0:56:35entire part of Ireland, and we did this in February 2000 and 15.Lifted
0:56:35 > 0:56:44higher up.This is the map of Ireland. This is the eight centres
0:56:44 > 0:56:47of excellence hospitals and they go across the Galway and Dublin line
0:56:47 > 0:56:52and we are here in Donegal. Just across in here is the dairy hospital
0:56:52 > 0:56:59and we were part of a group both on this side of the border and in
0:56:59 > 0:57:05Londonderry who campaigned over a long period of time to actually
0:57:05 > 0:57:12develop radiotherapy cancer services for the people of Donegal. What that
0:57:12 > 0:57:17means is there is a radiotherapy unit in Northern Ireland, there is
0:57:17 > 0:57:22one in Belfast. But that meant difficulty but people in Derry and
0:57:22 > 0:57:28the border area. Together we both worked hard and along with both
0:57:28 > 0:57:33governments and the radiotherapy centre, the Northwest Cancer Centre
0:57:33 > 0:57:40was developed in Derry and Londonderry.Let's say there were
0:57:40 > 0:57:46controls and checks. Some people say there is no need for that anyway
0:57:46 > 0:57:49because the technology means you could go straight through. You are
0:57:49 > 0:57:55shaking your head in disagreement. First of all, before we had the
0:57:55 > 0:57:59radiotherapy unit for a Donegal cancer patients they had to make a
0:57:59 > 0:58:04five hour one-way journey to Galway hospital or Dublin hospital. It
0:58:04 > 0:58:07meant you left early on Monday morning and came back on Friday
0:58:07 > 0:58:12night.But you can still cross the border even if it was not invisible.
0:58:12 > 0:58:17It might take slightly longer?When you went to Galway you did not have
0:58:17 > 0:58:24to cross the border because we were in the Republic of Ireland. Yes, we
0:58:24 > 0:58:27are effectively crossing the border, but a cancer patient can leave their
0:58:27 > 0:58:31home in the morning and come back in the evening. But there is an
0:58:31 > 0:58:38important issue in this context. In order to have the north- west cancer
0:58:38 > 0:58:44centre in Londonderry part of the UK, we needed a critical mass and if
0:58:44 > 0:58:50there is a hard Brexit and that service is impacted on and access
0:58:50 > 0:58:57for Donegal patients at the new radiotherapy unit is not accessible,
0:58:57 > 0:59:04that leaves Londonderry in the North in the six counties, part of the UK,
0:59:04 > 0:59:09they will not have the critical mass to maintain the radiotherapy unit.
0:59:09 > 0:59:14Understood, I will pause you there. James, thank you for coming in, and
0:59:14 > 0:59:19marry, thank you for your time as well. We really appreciated. --
0:59:19 > 0:59:19Marie.
0:59:19 > 0:59:24-- Marie.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27We will bring you the latest spot in a moment, first the weather.
0:59:32 > 0:59:36Storm Caroline is still developing across the far north of Scotland at
0:59:36 > 0:59:41the moment and that brings in colder air. It will get noticeably colder
0:59:41 > 0:59:45as the day goes on. This is storm Caroline and that is the centre
0:59:45 > 0:59:51where you have got some really strong winds. The isobar is not
0:59:51 > 0:59:56close together. Storm force winds across northern Scotland and that
0:59:56 > 1:00:04has prompted weather warnings. 80 miles an hour, so be prepared for
1:00:04 > 1:00:11disruption. Those strong winds will continue for much of the day in
1:00:11 > 1:00:14northern Scotland. Elsewhere we have rain which is moving its way south
1:00:14 > 1:00:20and east. Still mild conditions in the South East. There will be
1:00:20 > 1:00:23sunshine coming through but it will turn noticeably colder and
1:00:23 > 1:00:28temperatures dropping by seven Celsius this afternoon and with it
1:00:28 > 1:00:32increasingly wet and stirring conditions in northern Ireland and
1:00:32 > 1:00:37Scotland. This evening and overnight that snow in northern Scotland will
1:00:37 > 1:00:42get down to low levels and low levels in Northern Ireland,
1:00:42 > 1:00:45north-west England, Wales and eventually into the Midlands by
1:00:45 > 1:00:50early tomorrow morning. Ice is a big problem tomorrow morning in northern
1:00:50 > 1:00:54areas. Further south temperatures staying above freezing. There could
1:00:54 > 1:00:59well be some problems on Friday morning with blizzards and snow at
1:00:59 > 1:01:02low levels and also in Northern Ireland, Wales and the Northwest
1:01:02 > 1:01:09Midlands. By morning it could be 2-5 centimetres. But those showers
1:01:09 > 1:01:12continued throughout the day and there could be 10-15 centimetres by
1:01:12 > 1:01:23the evening rush-hour. This snow continues in northern Scotland. If
1:01:23 > 1:01:27you have not got the snow, you have got sunshine, but it will feel
1:01:27 > 1:01:33bitterly cold with a significant wind-chill. It will feel like
1:01:33 > 1:01:37freezing and down to minus six Celsius. On Saturday a brief
1:01:37 > 1:01:41respite. Lots of dry weather around and sunshine in eastern areas and a
1:01:41 > 1:01:48few showers in the north and the West. Pretty cold on Saturday and on
1:01:48 > 1:01:52Sunday rain sped into the South and it will turn to snow. There is some
1:01:52 > 1:01:55uncertainty as to where exactly it will fall and how much it will
1:01:55 > 1:02:01settle. Much milder in the south-west, but colder in the east.
1:02:01 > 1:02:07Stay tuned as we go into Sunday.
1:02:07 > 1:02:12Hello, it is 10am, I am Victoria Derbyshire.
1:02:12 > 1:02:13The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas has called
1:02:13 > 1:02:17for a new uprising against Israel.
1:02:17 > 1:02:19It follows President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem
1:02:19 > 1:02:26as the Israeli capital.
1:02:26 > 1:02:30Changing 70 years of American foreign policy.It is time to
1:02:30 > 1:02:40officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.We will be

1:02:45 > 1:02:50about President Trump's decision. And Resham Khan who suffered life
1:02:50 > 1:02:58changing injuries after a stranger threw acid at her.Acid attacks are
1:02:58 > 1:03:02not just something people can wake up to the next day and continue
1:03:02 > 1:03:09normally. I am making big decisions and big changes in life. There are a
1:03:09 > 1:03:13lot of things I would have liked to have done that I cannot do any more.
1:03:13 > 1:03:19She has gone on to campaign for a change in the law on the sale of
1:03:19 > 1:03:28acid. We will hear from her straight after the news and sport.
1:03:28 > 1:03:30It's been revealed the outgoing vice-chancellor of Bath Spa
1:03:30 > 1:03:33University was paid over £800,000 for her last year in the role.
1:03:33 > 1:03:38We'll ask the University and College Union what they make of that sum.
1:03:40 > 1:03:48Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.
1:03:48 > 1:03:51The leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas has called
1:03:51 > 1:03:55for a new intifada or popular uprising following President Trump's
1:03:55 > 1:03:59recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The decision has been
1:03:59 > 1:04:03widely condemned including by some of America's closest allies such as
1:04:03 > 1:04:07Britain, France and Saudi Arabia. The UN Security Council will hold an
1:04:07 > 1:04:12emergency meeting tomorrow to debate the move. The number of people
1:04:12 > 1:04:16arrested for terror related offences has soared. 400 people were held in
1:04:16 > 1:04:17the 12
1:04:17 > 1:04:29months to the end of September, an increase of
1:04:32 > 1:04:3554% on the year before. 64 of the arrests were related to the London
1:04:35 > 1:04:37and Manchester terror attacks. 30 people were prosecuted in total and
1:04:37 > 1:04:39all were found guilty. A further 65 people are awaiting prosecution.
1:04:39 > 1:04:42The Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, has said Theresa May
1:04:42 > 1:04:44is expected to put forward a new offer on the issue
1:04:44 > 1:04:46of the Irish border later today.
1:04:46 > 1:04:48A draft agreement between Mrs May and the European Union,
1:04:48 > 1:04:51which would have allowed the Brexit negotiations to move on to trade,
1:04:51 > 1:04:53was blocked on Monday by the Democratic Unionists.
1:04:53 > 1:04:5619 Tory MPs who back a soft Brexit have written to Mrs May,
1:04:56 > 1:04:58saying it was highly irresponsible for anyone to dictate terms
1:04:58 > 1:05:00which may scupper a deal.
1:05:00 > 1:05:08The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, has said no
1:05:08 > 1:05:11British citizen who has fought for the so-called
1:05:11 > 1:05:13Islamic State group should be allowed back into the country.
1:05:13 > 1:05:16Mr Williamson, who was promoted to his post last month, told
1:05:16 > 1:05:18the Daily Mail that the fighters should be hunted down and killed,
1:05:18 > 1:05:21because "a dead terrorist couldn't cause any harm to Britain".
1:05:21 > 1:05:24The number of patients waiting more than four hours in accident
1:05:24 > 1:05:29and emergency departments in the UK has more than doubled
1:05:30 > 1:05:31since 2013.
1:05:31 > 1:05:34Research by the BBC has found over 3 million people experienced longer
1:05:34 > 1:05:36waits than the A&E target in the last 12 months.
1:05:36 > 1:05:39The accounts of Bath Spa University show that its departing
1:05:39 > 1:05:42vice-chancellor, Professor Christina Slade, received more than £800,000
1:05:42 > 1:05:46last year in pay and benefits.
1:05:46 > 1:05:48Ten days ago, the vice-chancellor of Bath University announced
1:05:48 > 1:05:52she would step down in 2019 after complaints from students
1:05:52 > 1:05:54and staff about her pay.
1:05:54 > 1:05:57The University and College Union said the pay and pensions of some
1:05:57 > 1:06:02senior staff made them look greedy and out of touch.
1:06:02 > 1:06:04Around 2,000 customers are without power in the Western Isles
1:06:04 > 1:06:06because of damage caused by Storm Caroline.
1:06:06 > 1:06:10The Met Office has issued an amber, be prepared, weather warning
1:06:10 > 1:06:15for northern Scotland, with gusts of up to 80mph expected.
1:06:15 > 1:06:18There is disruption to ferries and the rail network
1:06:18 > 1:06:24and restrictions are in place across exposed bridges.
1:06:24 > 1:06:26The largest and most expensive warship ever built
1:06:26 > 1:06:29for the Royal Navy will officially join the service today.
1:06:29 > 1:06:32The Queen will commission the new aircraft carrier,
1:06:32 > 1:06:35HMS Queen Elizabeth, at a ceremony in Portsmouth attended
1:06:35 > 1:06:36by 4,000 people.
1:06:36 > 1:06:38The ship, which won't take part in military operations until 2021,
1:06:38 > 1:06:43cost more than £3 billion.

1:06:47 > 1:06:49main costal highway and reached the Pacific Ocean according
1:06:49 > 1:06:55to firefighters tackling the blaze.
1:06:55 > 1:06:57The homes of more than 150,000 people have been evacuated
1:06:57 > 1:07:00in an area north of Los Angeles and hundreds of buildings
1:07:00 > 1:07:04have been damaged.
1:07:04 > 1:07:07Strong winds are expected to hinder efforts to contain the fire
1:07:07 > 1:07:09which is endangering some 12,000 properties.
1:07:09 > 1:07:11The Australian parliament has passed a bill to
1:07:11 > 1:07:12legalise same-sex marriage.
1:07:12 > 1:07:14The bill was passed after a long debate in which more
1:07:14 > 1:07:15than 100 MPs spoke.
1:07:15 > 1:07:18The vote follows a referendum earlier this year, which showed
1:07:18 > 1:07:20a majority of people support the change.
1:07:20 > 1:07:22Our Sydney correspondent said it marked the end of years of political
1:07:22 > 1:07:24wrangling.
1:07:24 > 1:07:25A feathered dinosaur, resembling a swan, has been
1:07:25 > 1:07:27discovered by scientists.
1:07:27 > 1:07:29The creature had scythe-like claws, a reptilian tail
1:07:29 > 1:07:31and a beak lined with teeth.
1:07:31 > 1:07:35It's thought to have lived 75 million years ago,
1:07:35 > 1:07:39and was a therapod, like Tyrannosaurus Rex.
1:07:39 > 1:07:41It may have been the first dinosaur to adopt the lifestyle
1:07:41 > 1:07:44of a modern-day water bird.
1:07:44 > 1:07:46That's a summary of the latest BBC News.
1:07:46 > 1:07:52More at 10.30am.
1:07:52 > 1:07:57Thank you. I promised you I would read Rachel's e-mail about her
1:07:57 > 1:08:02weight at A&E. It is quite long, absolutely worth it. In March, I was
1:08:02 > 1:08:07hit by a car in a hit and run accident. I never lost
1:08:07 > 1:08:11consciousness, so no ambulance was dispatched. The police transferred
1:08:11 > 1:08:15me to A&E without the lights on and so I was stuck in the car for over
1:08:15 > 1:08:21half an hour in traffic. At AMD, I could not remember my name or date
1:08:21 > 1:08:25of birth. There was no seating available so eventually an older
1:08:25 > 1:08:29lady gave me her seat and she sat on the floor. An hour later, I was seen
1:08:29 > 1:08:34by triage and given morphine. I was told I needed x-rays. I waited three
1:08:34 > 1:08:41more hours to be taken by wheelchair to x-ray. Once this was done, I
1:08:41 > 1:08:44waited four more hours to have someone look at the x-rays. After
1:08:44 > 1:08:48waiting so long, the morphine had worn off and I was becoming quite
1:08:48 > 1:08:52teary. The doctor then said, there is nothing wrong, I should take
1:08:52 > 1:08:57paracetamol and ID proof in. I had to fight for a wrist brace as it was
1:08:57 > 1:09:03hurting so much. I left A&E thinking I should not be in pain. I woke up
1:09:03 > 1:09:07in excruciating pain and I ran my doctor and insisted I was seen. No
1:09:07 > 1:09:10appointments were available so I settled for a telephone appointment.
1:09:10 > 1:09:15My doctors gave me painkillers. I tried to rebuild my life. Four weeks
1:09:15 > 1:09:19after the accident, I went back to the doctor and said my wrist was not
1:09:19 > 1:09:23right. He said, wait, it is still settling down. I went back after six
1:09:23 > 1:09:28weeks, I said, it is not right. They told me to wait. It took me pleading
1:09:28 > 1:09:32with the doctor 12 weeks after the accident for them to refer me for
1:09:32 > 1:09:36physio. It took six weeks for a physio appointment for them to say,
1:09:36 > 1:09:43I am in too much pain for physiotherapy to help. I was then
1:09:43 > 1:09:46referred to the pain clinic and I have since been under them. The
1:09:46 > 1:09:49physio is still insisting I am in too much pain for any help. Wow. I
1:09:49 > 1:10:01am really sorry about that, Rachel. Goodness me, a catalogue of
1:10:01 > 1:10:09awfulness. We will talk more about A&E waiting times. Now let us talk
1:10:09 > 1:10:13about the sport.
1:10:13 > 1:10:16Well, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is still fearing a tough draw
1:10:16 > 1:10:18for the last 16 of the Champions League,
1:10:18 > 1:10:20despite his team finishing top of their group with a 7-nil
1:10:20 > 1:10:22demolition of Spartak Moscow at Anfield.
1:10:22 > 1:10:23It included a hat-trick for Phillipe Coutinho,
1:10:23 > 1:10:25as well as another couple for Sadio Mane.
1:10:25 > 1:10:26Their victory also
1:10:26 > 1:10:28means five English teams reach the knockout stages
1:10:28 > 1:10:37of the competition for the first time.
1:10:37 > 1:10:41Last 16, Champions League, there are always strong size, this year, it is
1:10:41 > 1:10:45special. I do not think you can often face Bayern Munich and real
1:10:45 > 1:10:53Madrid in the last 16 if you win the group. And all the others. So that
1:10:53 > 1:10:56is quite interesting.
1:10:56 > 1:10:58Fernando Llorente got his first goal for Spurs,
1:10:58 > 1:11:02as a much-changed side beat Apoel Nicosia 3-0 at Wembley.
1:11:02 > 1:11:08Spurs go through as group winners.
1:11:08 > 1:11:11As do Manchester City, who were beaten for
1:11:11 > 1:11:14the first time in 29 games.
1:11:14 > 1:11:17Pep Guardiola also made a raft of changes as they went down 2-1
1:11:17 > 1:11:23at Shaktar Donetsk in Ukraine.
1:11:23 > 1:11:30Well, after defeat in the first two Ashes Tests and criticism over
1:11:30 > 1:11:33a lack of fighting spirit, what England wouldn't give
1:11:33 > 1:11:35to see Ben Stokes back out on the field with them.
1:11:35 > 1:11:40That remains highly unlikely but Stokes has been named
1:11:40 > 1:11:42in the one-day squad for the five-match series
1:11:42 > 1:11:43against Australia in the new year.
1:11:43 > 1:11:47Andy Swiss has more from Adelaide.
1:11:47 > 1:11:51England now know they have a mountain to climb if they are to
1:11:51 > 1:11:56retain the Cabinet ashes. They have a warm up game in Perth this weekend
1:11:56 > 1:12:01before the Test gets under way next week. If Australia win the Test,
1:12:01 > 1:12:08they will read in the Ashes. England have not won in Perth since 1978.
1:12:08 > 1:12:13One man who is not here with England is Ben Stokes. He is currently
1:12:13 > 1:12:17playing domestic cricket in New Zealand. We have had the news he has
1:12:17 > 1:12:21been named in England's one-day squad for their series here in
1:12:21 > 1:12:25January. Ben Stokes is waiting to find out at the moment if he will be
1:12:25 > 1:12:29charged over an incident in Bristol in September. Despite being named in
1:12:29 > 1:12:34the squad, he is still currently unavailable for selection until the
1:12:34 > 1:12:39Crown Prosecution Service decides whether to charge him and until the
1:12:39 > 1:12:42England and Wales Cricket Board decide whether to take any
1:12:42 > 1:12:46disciplinary action. As things stand at the moment, Ben Stokes is still
1:12:46 > 1:12:48unavailable to play.
1:12:48 > 1:12:51Russian Athletes could still stage the first Olympic boycott
1:12:51 > 1:12:52since 1984.
1:12:52 > 1:12:54The country has been banned by the IOC
1:12:54 > 1:13:01from taking part in next year's Winter Games in South Korea.
1:13:01 > 1:13:03Russian athletes who prove they are clean likely
1:13:03 > 1:13:06to be able to take part, but IOC President Thomas Bach says
1:13:06 > 1:13:08a final decision on that will be made next week.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10If allowed, though, those deemed clean may still protest
1:13:10 > 1:13:16by choosing not to take part.
1:13:16 > 1:13:21More on that in the coming days and weeks. That is all the sport for
1:13:21 > 1:13:25now. More little bit later on. Good morning.
1:13:25 > 1:13:27This summer, 21-year-old Resham Khan suffered life-changing injuries
1:13:27 > 1:13:29after a stranger threw acid at her as she sat in
1:13:29 > 1:13:32a car with her cousin.
1:13:32 > 1:13:38She's gone on to campaign to change the law on selling acid.
1:13:38 > 1:13:41And earlier this year, she was named one of BBC's 100 Women.
1:13:41 > 1:13:43Her attacker, John Tomlin, has admitted to causing her grievous
1:13:43 > 1:13:53bodily harm and is due to be sentenced in January.
1:13:53 > 1:13:54Resham Khan has told the BBC
1:13:54 > 1:13:56she pities her attacker but still can't understand
1:13:56 > 1:13:58why he did it.
1:13:58 > 1:14:02Acid attacks aren't just something people can wake up to the next day
1:14:02 > 1:14:06and continue on normally with, you know.
1:14:06 > 1:14:09I am making big decisions in life and big changes.
1:14:09 > 1:14:12There's a lot of things I would have liked to have done that
1:14:12 > 1:14:18I just can't do any more.
1:14:18 > 1:14:21Resham Khan and her cousin, Jamil Mukhtar,
1:14:21 > 1:14:23suffered face and neck injuries when the acid was thrown
1:14:23 > 1:14:25through their car window...
1:14:25 > 1:14:28She and her cousin were attacked with a corrosive substance...
1:14:28 > 1:14:29Left with life-changing injuries.
1:14:29 > 1:14:31The petition calls for the law to be changed...
1:14:31 > 1:14:33They tried to drive off, crashed the car in a fence
1:14:33 > 1:14:35and this man just ran off...
1:14:35 > 1:14:42I was trapped in the car, in the burning car.
1:14:42 > 1:14:45Then I got out through the driver's side from where my cousin had run
1:14:45 > 1:14:48off, and then we spent the next 40, 45 minutes screaming
1:14:48 > 1:14:51and looking for water.
1:14:51 > 1:14:54I ran around, I think, the A13 in my underwear,
1:14:54 > 1:14:56on my 21st birthday.
1:14:56 > 1:14:58I think I blogged, honestly, for a bit of self-help
1:14:58 > 1:15:04therapy, you know.
1:15:04 > 1:15:07I still have not received any therapy or counselling or anything
1:15:07 > 1:15:10along those lines so I think getting my thoughts out to somebody,
1:15:10 > 1:15:13even though it was anybody, helped a lot because it made me
1:15:13 > 1:15:17confront my own feelings.
1:15:17 > 1:15:20Also I did get a lot of messages in regards to the way
1:15:20 > 1:15:24I was being so public and how I was helping other people
1:15:24 > 1:15:28and I thought if I was helping others, why not just continue
1:15:28 > 1:15:33and make it accessible, a bit more easily accessible for people to see.
1:15:33 > 1:15:37You do not need to waste any time or effort working on your outside
1:15:37 > 1:15:39because you should be concentrating on your inside.
1:15:39 > 1:15:43Your inside.
1:15:43 > 1:15:47Everything becomes a struggle these days, from morning until night.
1:15:47 > 1:15:52If I'm not waking, up I'm in pain, if I'm not in pain, I'm
1:15:52 > 1:15:55struggling with make-up.
1:15:55 > 1:15:58If I'm not struggling with make-up, I'm struggling to find something
1:15:58 > 1:16:01that covers the marks, or I'm debating whether
1:16:01 > 1:16:03or not to cover them.
1:16:03 > 1:16:07I think if I have more than ten minutes an hour to think,
1:16:07 > 1:16:10things get difficult real quick.
1:16:10 > 1:16:15So I try to just keep busy or keep distracted.
1:16:15 > 1:16:17I'm aware that keeping distracted in the wrong things
1:16:17 > 1:16:21could lead me down the wrong path so I try to keep level headed.
1:16:21 > 1:16:23I'm treated a bit differently now.
1:16:23 > 1:16:26You know...
1:16:26 > 1:16:31I used to be that person that felt attractive and knew
1:16:31 > 1:16:34they were attractive so I used to like completely own that.
1:16:34 > 1:16:38Spending my money...
1:16:38 > 1:16:41It's a birthday.
1:16:41 > 1:16:44Before this all happened to me, I had a very clear idea
1:16:44 > 1:16:46of where I wanted to be in five years.
1:16:46 > 1:16:48Happy birthday to you...
1:16:48 > 1:16:52I knew where I wanted to be in the future.
1:16:52 > 1:16:55And now I feel like, although I'm trying to stay on a good path,
1:16:55 > 1:16:59I have no idea where life is going to take me.
1:16:59 > 1:17:03At first, I got down about that.
1:17:03 > 1:17:06But now I'm just trying to find the good in it all.
1:17:06 > 1:17:10I was extremely happy when acid was made an offensive weapon.
1:17:10 > 1:17:16To me, that was success.
1:17:16 > 1:17:20But no-one was particularly thrilled about when it was banned
1:17:20 > 1:17:24from under-18s buying it.
1:17:24 > 1:17:29We all kind of just thought, why are under-18s already allowed
1:17:29 > 1:17:31to buy corrosive substances?
1:17:31 > 1:17:33Although it was something we were campaigning for,
1:17:33 > 1:17:36for the whole of the UK, my attacker, for example,
1:17:36 > 1:17:39was not under the age of 18.
1:17:39 > 1:17:44I think in terms of making changes in the justice system,
1:17:44 > 1:17:50people in this country shouldn't just be concerned with this country.
1:17:50 > 1:17:53I realise it's such a global issue and it's made me wonder why people
1:17:53 > 1:17:57are so concerned with the things happening on their doorstep,
1:17:57 > 1:17:59as opposed to all around the world, you know.
1:17:59 > 1:18:04What difference does it make if it happens to me and if it
1:18:04 > 1:18:09happens to somebody 4,000, 5,000 miles away?
1:18:17 > 1:18:20When I look in the mirror, I see a constant reflection
1:18:20 > 1:18:23of what happened on my birthday.
1:18:23 > 1:18:27I have half of the old me and half of the new me.
1:18:27 > 1:18:30I'm not sure if I should be happy about that,
1:18:30 > 1:18:34about having some part of me saved.
1:18:34 > 1:18:37Or if I should just hate the thought of being tormented
1:18:37 > 1:18:40with the before and afters.
1:18:40 > 1:18:44Since being attacked, my view on beauty has changed
1:18:44 > 1:18:49because instead of looking to be somebody else, I'm now trying
1:18:49 > 1:18:55to look the best version of me.
1:18:55 > 1:18:59If I could speak to the attacker, I would then ask him why he threw
1:18:59 > 1:19:03acid over us and I just pity him, you know.
1:19:03 > 1:19:08His violence, in a split second destroyed my life,
1:19:08 > 1:19:11my cousin's life, his life, all the lives and it was
1:19:11 > 1:19:14just never worth it.
1:19:14 > 1:19:16There's just nothing to say to somebody that ruins
1:19:16 > 1:19:25everything for themselves.
1:19:25 > 1:19:36Quite a remarkable woman. One of the BBC's 100 women of 2017, a list of
1:19:36 > 1:19:47inspirational and innovative women. You can see the list on the website.
1:19:47 > 1:19:49We've reported on the plight of the Rohingya people
1:19:49 > 1:19:50many times this year.
1:19:50 > 1:19:52We've brought you their horrific experiences of violence,
1:19:52 > 1:19:54rape and murder in Myanmar at the hands of
1:19:54 > 1:19:55government soldiers.
1:19:55 > 1:19:57The government of Myanmar, a predominately Buddhist country,
1:19:57 > 1:19:59claims the Rohingya people are illegal immigrants
1:19:59 > 1:20:01from neighbouring Bangladesh and has denied them citizenship,
1:20:01 > 1:20:05leaving them stateless.
1:22:05 > 1:22:08As a result, they've become the fastest, largest majority ethnic
1:22:08 > 1:22:13refugee population in human history.
1:22:13 > 1:22:15They've fled their homes and crossed the border
1:22:15 > 1:22:18to the safety of Bangladesh.
1:22:18 > 1:22:23There are now over half a million refugees at the camp there.
1:22:23 > 1:22:27It's the biggest refugee camp in the world
1:22:27 > 1:22:33and it's where disease and malnutrition are spreading.
1:22:33 > 1:22:35Let's talk now to Dr Ian Cross.
1:22:35 > 1:22:37He's a doctor for Medecins Sans Frontieres who has
1:22:37 > 1:22:39just come back from Bangladesh where he was helping to vaccinate
1:22:39 > 1:22:47hundreds of thousands of refugees.
1:22:47 > 1:22:51This is his first British TV interview. Hello. What are you
1:22:51 > 1:22:58vaccinating people against?Measles. When I first arrived in the camp two
1:22:58 > 1:23:02months ago we had six cases and I thought this is going to be
1:23:02 > 1:23:07disaster. These people are crushed together in a very dense population.
1:23:07 > 1:23:11Measles spreads extremely quickly. We did not have permission to
1:23:11 > 1:23:15vaccinate until about three weeks ago when we got permission. Our
1:23:15 > 1:23:21bosses said, we are going to do 300,000 vaccinations in 12 days. I
1:23:21 > 1:23:28said, you cannot do 300,012 days. Well, they did not, they managed
1:23:28 > 1:23:33170,000 vaccinations. Imagine how many needles, syringes, the
1:23:33 > 1:23:35organisation, getting the vaccinations add to people in
1:23:35 > 1:23:40account that is 3000 acres of March with no roads. It is difficult to
1:23:40 > 1:23:45get supplies to the far ends of the camp.Remind people what measles can
1:23:45 > 1:23:51do to the body?We have had three deaths. It starts off with a rash on
1:23:51 > 1:23:53the forehead and the face and moves down the body.
1:23:57 > 1:24:01If you are lucky it will go into your lungs and you get pneumonia and
1:24:01 > 1:24:04it affects your guts and you get diarrhoea and that is what kills
1:24:04 > 1:24:10them. We are seeing 20 children a day with severe, acute malnutrition.
1:24:10 > 1:24:15If they got me goes, they would not have the resilience to overcome the
1:24:15 > 1:24:19infection.I will ask you about malnutrition in a moment. You also
1:24:19 > 1:24:23sought tetanus which is something you had not seen for decades.40
1:24:23 > 1:24:31years since I saw a case in Britain. We saw seven cases. A few children
1:24:31 > 1:24:35with neonatal tetanus. This is caused by infections of the
1:24:35 > 1:24:42umbilical cord. But also a few older children as well. The problem is the
1:24:42 > 1:24:46Rohingya have not had any systematic vaccination coverage for decades,
1:24:46 > 1:24:51they have been denied health care. Unicef provided clinics and tried to
1:24:51 > 1:24:56do vaccination there but it has not been enough.Explain to our audience
1:24:56 > 1:24:58why you found it challenging to differentiate between little boys
1:24:58 > 1:25:05and little girls.I found it very strange when I looked at the
1:25:05 > 1:25:10children and I thought I cannot tell if it was a boy or a girl. They were
1:25:10 > 1:25:16all wearing boys' clothes. Then I found out the parents had cut the
1:25:16 > 1:25:21girls' hair and had dressed them like boys because they were
1:25:21 > 1:25:25frightened the soldiers would rate them. We saw a few cases of under
1:25:25 > 1:25:30ten little girls who had been raped. We saw almost 100 cases of rape and
1:25:30 > 1:25:37sexual pilots in the hospital where I work.Girls under ten being raped
1:25:37 > 1:25:45by soldiers before they fled Myanmar?Yes. It is awful, it is
1:25:45 > 1:25:50appalling.It is soul destroying. Absolutely and it is not the only
1:25:50 > 1:25:55horrific thing. One of my patients had a club foot and he was not able
1:25:55 > 1:25:59to walk. When the soldiers came into the village he had to crawl out of
1:25:59 > 1:26:05the hut. The soldiers caught him. They did not execute him, they shot
1:26:05 > 1:26:10him in his club foot. What horror is that trying to broadcast to the
1:26:10 > 1:26:16Rohingya people? We have got power, we can do anything we like to you.
1:26:16 > 1:26:20Tell us about the grandmother who I think you manage to reunite in that
1:26:20 > 1:26:25camp, which is the biggest refugee camp in the world, hundreds of
1:26:25 > 1:26:32thousands of people. She had become separated, what happened?We are
1:26:32 > 1:26:40talking about 620,000. I come from Leicester and that is two Lesters,
1:26:40 > 1:26:46huge amount of people. At night they do not want to have torches because
1:26:46 > 1:26:50the soldiers might see the light and they Mike shooter then, the soldiers
1:26:50 > 1:26:56are based on the Myanmar side. Unfortunately this family lost
1:26:56 > 1:26:58contact with their grandmother as she was coming through the forest.
1:26:58 > 1:27:02She had had a stroke and she had cataracts so she could not see
1:27:02 > 1:27:09clearly and she was abandoned. The next morning she woke up and she was
1:27:09 > 1:27:17being eaten by dogs, wild dogs in the forest. Luckily there was some
1:27:17 > 1:27:21UN personnel who were patrolling the area looking for stragglers. They
1:27:21 > 1:27:26found her and brought her to our hospital and after a few days after
1:27:26 > 1:27:30we sorted her out and bade her comfortable in her family appeared.
1:27:30 > 1:27:34She was reunited and they would just delighted.When you say hospital, do
1:27:34 > 1:27:42you mean hospital?It is like a health centre with beds. When we
1:27:42 > 1:27:47started at the beginning of August we had 50 beds and 250 people coming
1:27:47 > 1:27:51in with gunshot wounds, mine blast injuries in the course of a few
1:27:51 > 1:27:55weeks, so we realised we had to expand and we moved up to 81 beds.
1:27:55 > 1:28:00This means putting up a bamboo structure with plastic roofing. We
1:28:00 > 1:28:04do not turn people away. Our paediatric ward has 16 beds but we
1:28:04 > 1:28:10often have 30 plus people in there. We have mattresses on the floor, two
1:28:10 > 1:28:17families share the same actors. We do our best.What are people living
1:28:17 > 1:28:22in and under? What sort of shelter? When you come across the border you
1:28:22 > 1:28:27are issued with bamboo and plastic sheeting. You break the bamboo poles
1:28:27 > 1:28:31into fine rods and you stretch the plastic over those rods like a sheet
1:28:31 > 1:28:37and you put those together. They will not withstand heavy rain. You
1:28:37 > 1:28:42are building on mud and they wash away in the first monsoons. If there
1:28:42 > 1:28:47is a cyclone, we are in really big trouble.You talked about seeing 20
1:28:47 > 1:28:52children are they suffering from malnutrition. Just describe what a
1:28:52 > 1:28:57five-year-old child looks like if they have malnutrition.Very thin
1:28:57 > 1:29:05and stunted as well. There are children who are maybe six months
1:29:05 > 1:29:10and two and a half and the child looks hardly any different from six
1:29:10 > 1:29:13months to two and a half years, only one kilogram difference in their
1:29:13 > 1:29:18wake. We measure them by weight and we do their length and we make a
1:29:18 > 1:29:24calculation and we do mid arm circumference. It can be green,
1:29:24 > 1:29:31yellow Allred and red is the worst kind. So it is here. Yes, mid to
1:29:31 > 1:29:38upper arm. If I did not have my tape, I could use my finger. So the
1:29:38 > 1:29:43child's upper arm fits into that and they are malnourished. Those
1:29:43 > 1:29:48children were not malnourished, they were ill and malnourished. We had to
1:29:48 > 1:29:51sort out pneumonia, diarrhoea and whatever conditions they had. When
1:29:51 > 1:29:55we got them to a reasonable condition medically they could go on
1:29:55 > 1:30:04and have further food supplements. Do you think, OK, this is my job, I
1:30:04 > 1:30:08have got to get my head down, I have got to get on with it? Are you
1:30:08 > 1:30:15affected by it?On day 14 people died. I am a doctor, I am used to
1:30:15 > 1:30:20people dying. I am the last line of defence. I am thinking I am doing
1:30:20 > 1:30:22everything I can for these people and I am not good enough.
1:30:22 > 1:30:28Self-doubt. But then I realised, you are here, you have got to do your
1:30:28 > 1:30:32best and you just get down to it. It is easy being a doctor because you
1:30:32 > 1:30:36have a practical skill to offer. If you sat at home and thought about
1:30:36 > 1:30:40what happened to these people, you would feel powerless to do anything.
1:30:40 > 1:30:48I am lucky I have got the skills to be able to do that.
1:30:48 > 1:30:53You are not a politician, you are a medical professional, what has to
1:30:53 > 1:30:58change?I have not met any Rohingya refugees who have told me they would
1:30:58 > 1:31:03be willing to go back to Myanmar. They would rather stay in the filthy
1:31:03 > 1:31:08camp with plastic walls and roof rather than go back to the killing
1:31:08 > 1:31:14and the torture they suffered there. It was just heartbreaking.Thank you
1:31:14 > 1:31:20very much for talking to us. We really appreciate your time. A
1:31:20 > 1:31:25doctor back from Bangladesh. We will cross now to the House of Commons
1:31:25 > 1:31:28where Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt is responding to
1:31:28 > 1:31:34President Trump's decision to name Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
1:31:34 > 1:31:38Our position on the status of Jerusalem is clear and
1:31:38 > 1:31:41long-standing. It should be determined in a negotiated
1:31:41 > 1:31:45settlement between the Israelis and Palestinians and Jerusalem should
1:31:45 > 1:31:50ultimately be the shared capital of the Israeli and Palestinian states.
1:31:50 > 1:31:54In line with relevant Security Council resolutions, we regard east
1:31:54 > 1:31:58Jerusalem as part of the occupied Palestinian territories. We share
1:31:58 > 1:32:05President Trump's desire to bring an end to this conflict. We welcome his
1:32:05 > 1:32:10commitment to a two state solution and note the importance of his clear
1:32:10 > 1:32:14acknowledgement that the final status of Jerusalem must be subject
1:32:14 > 1:32:18to negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians. We encourage the
1:32:18 > 1:32:22US administration to bring forward detailed proposals for an Israel-
1:32:22 > 1:32:27Palestinian settlement. To succeed, the peace process must be conducted
1:32:27 > 1:32:32in an atmosphere free from violence and we call on all parties to work
1:32:32 > 1:32:40together to maintain calm at a crucial time.Thank you, Mr Speaker.
1:32:40 > 1:32:42Thank you for granting the surge in question and I welcome the opening
1:32:42 > 1:32:49remarks. -- granting this urgent question. For all of us in this
1:32:49 > 1:32:54House and beyond who have worked tirelessly for lasting peace in the
1:32:54 > 1:32:56Middle East, yesterday's decision took a hammer blow to the hopes.
1:32:56 > 1:33:01There is a reason that before yesterday no other country would
1:33:01 > 1:33:07locate their embassy in Jerusalem and no other country would recognise
1:33:07 > 1:33:10Jerusalem as Israel's capital because to do either thing let alone
1:33:10 > 1:33:15both confers legitimacy on Israel's occupation of east Jerusalem, and
1:33:15 > 1:33:23not patient with no basis in international law. The sheer
1:33:23 > 1:33:26recklessness of that decision needs no debate. Donald Trump is not
1:33:26 > 1:33:31crying fire in a crowded theatre, he is deliberately setting fire to the
1:33:31 > 1:33:34theatre. Then he has the unbelievable cheek to claim he is
1:33:34 > 1:33:38doing it to move forward the peace process when in reality, he is
1:33:38 > 1:33:44setting it back decades. As usual, as with the Muslim ban, the Paris
1:33:44 > 1:33:48agreement, the orang deal, the question for the UK Government is,
1:33:48 > 1:33:55first, what are they going to do about this mess? -- the Iran deal.
1:33:55 > 1:34:02How will we work with our other allies to fill the void? Secondly,
1:34:02 > 1:34:07when will the Government admit they have got their strategy with Donald
1:34:07 > 1:34:10Trump totally wrong? They told us that holding his hand and hugging
1:34:10 > 1:34:16him close, indulging him with the offer of a state visit, that was the
1:34:16 > 1:34:21best way of shaping his policies. On Jerusalem, as on so many other
1:34:21 > 1:34:28issues, they have been made to look like fools, ignored, weeks, entirely
1:34:28 > 1:34:33without influence. When will they realise bending over for a bully
1:34:33 > 1:34:38only encourages that behaviour? What our country and the world needs is a
1:34:38 > 1:34:45British Government prepared to stand up to him.I thank the right
1:34:45 > 1:34:51honourable lady for her comments and questions. I agree that a difficult
1:34:51 > 1:34:56consensus has been broken. The honourable lady is right, the
1:34:56 > 1:34:59international consensus around the status of Jerusalem has been one of
1:34:59 > 1:35:06the things we have all held on to it during a period when the ultimate
1:35:06 > 1:35:10settlement, the final settlement, has yet to be agreed. It has always
1:35:10 > 1:35:14been seen as part of the process at the end of the negotiated
1:35:14 > 1:35:19settlement, then the status of Jerusalem would be confirmed. The US
1:35:19 > 1:35:24has taken a decision about itself and the location of its embassy. I
1:35:24 > 1:35:28think in answer to her final point about the UK's position towards
1:35:28 > 1:35:32President Trump, we make it clear we disagree with the decision, the
1:35:32 > 1:35:35Prime Minister has said it is unhelpful, it is not a decision we
1:35:35 > 1:35:40would take. We have to decide what we do know. The first thing we can
1:35:40 > 1:35:49do and we have co-sponsored a meeting tomorrow at the UN Security
1:35:49 > 1:35:51Council when this will be discussed, we have co-sponsored it with
1:35:51 > 1:35:53European partners because it provides the opportunity to take
1:35:53 > 1:35:56stock of where we are and how to move forward. There are two
1:35:56 > 1:36:00opportunities, one is just to dwell on this decision in the US which
1:36:00 > 1:36:04people will for a while, and just leave that sitting there, the other
1:36:04 > 1:36:10is to decide what we do now. I think it is imperative that the work the
1:36:10 > 1:36:13envoys have been doing, the President's invoice, they have
1:36:13 > 1:36:18shared with the number of partners, we need to see it, and more quickly
1:36:18 > 1:36:25than people anticipated -- the President's envoys. The process has
1:36:25 > 1:36:29to move on. If the process was derailed by this, it would compound
1:36:29 > 1:36:34the unhelpful as of the decision. That is what we want to talk about.
1:36:34 > 1:36:38In terms of the longer term relationship with the US which she
1:36:38 > 1:36:42mentioned, a relationship is very deep, defence, intelligence,
1:36:42 > 1:36:46security, trade, a multitude of things, it has done for centuries,
1:36:46 > 1:36:51it will go on for centuries. We respect an elected president, but we
1:36:51 > 1:37:00know the relationship with the US is much deeper and the UK will continue
1:37:00 > 1:37:02to honour the relationship in its many forms.Alistair Burt, Foreign
1:37:02 > 1:37:11Office Minister. We also heard from Emily Thornberry. The leader of
1:37:11 > 1:37:17Hamas is calling for a popular uprising following President Trump's
1:37:17 > 1:37:21recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. As Alistair Burt was making
1:37:21 > 1:37:35clear, Britain does not support the decision.
1:37:43 > 1:37:47The fate of Jerusalem is one of the most challenging issues between
1:37:47 > 1:37:52Israelis and Palestinians. Gabriel Gatehouse explains why. In 1948,
1:37:52 > 1:37:56when the Jewish state was born, Israel proclaimed Jerusalem its
1:37:56 > 1:38:01capital, but on the ground, the city was divided into Western and eastern
1:38:01 > 1:38:06sectors. Israel controlled the West, Jordan administered the largely
1:38:06 > 1:38:11Palestinian east, including the old city. Then came the war of 1967, in
1:38:11 > 1:38:15six days, the same time it took the God of the old testament to create
1:38:15 > 1:38:19the world, Israel redrew the map of the Middle East. The shape of the
1:38:19 > 1:38:23current conflict has its roots in that historical moment. Israel
1:38:23 > 1:38:29seized the eastern part of the city and expanded the city limits. Under
1:38:29 > 1:38:31international law, east Jerusalem is occupied territory and the
1:38:31 > 1:38:35Palestinians want to see it become the capital of a future independent
1:38:35 > 1:38:41state. In 1995, Congress passed an act requiring the US government to
1:38:41 > 1:38:46move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Since then, every six
1:38:46 > 1:38:50months, every president has deferred that move on the grounds of national
1:38:50 > 1:38:55security. President Obama's successor promised to put an end to
1:38:55 > 1:39:02it.This is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality. It is
1:39:02 > 1:39:08also the right thing to do. It is something that has to be done.And
1:39:08 > 1:39:13with that, at a stroke, many diplomats fear America's crucial
1:39:13 > 1:39:19role as peace broker has been fatally undermined. Our Middle East
1:39:19 > 1:39:20editor, Jeremy
1:39:20 > 1:39:24Bowen is on the plane to Tel Aviv.
1:39:24 > 1:39:27As he boarded the plane, I asked him if President Trump's hope of ending
1:39:27 > 1:39:31failure in the Middle East is realistic.
1:39:31 > 1:39:33I don't think it's particularly realistic because while a lot
1:39:33 > 1:39:39of Israelis are very happy about this announcement,
1:39:39 > 1:39:49a lot of Palestinians weren't.
1:39:49 > 1:39:51If you want to make a deal, you have to have
1:39:51 > 1:39:52something both sides like.
1:39:52 > 1:39:55Does it signal then he values a Middle East peace deal
1:39:55 > 1:39:57less than he values US relations with Israel?
1:39:57 > 1:40:00Well, he says he really does value a Middle East peace deal but I think
1:40:00 > 1:40:03what he really values for the time being is keeping an election promise
1:40:03 > 1:40:10to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and also,
1:40:10 > 1:40:14I think close relations with Israel are a real priority for him.
1:40:14 > 1:40:20While he's said a lot of things which he may have thought sounded OK
1:40:20 > 1:40:25about two-state solution and so on, you can see from...
1:40:25 > 1:40:31It is not just from the Palestinians but people around the world, it is
1:40:31 > 1:40:36only Mr Trump and his supporters in America and Israel, and a lot of
1:40:36 > 1:40:40Israelis think it is perfectly OK for an embassy to be in Jerusalem,
1:40:40 > 1:40:44most Israelis would say that.
1:40:44 > 1:40:47So I think as a result of all of that, it makes any kind
1:40:47 > 1:40:51of future peace deal, and there is no peace process
1:40:51 > 1:40:59right now and hasn't been for a long time,
1:40:59 > 1:41:09it makes any kind of peace deal harder to get.
1:41:09 > 1:41:11Some are saying, look, this could be a good approach
1:41:11 > 1:41:14to the Israeli Palestinian peace process because nothing anybody has
1:41:14 > 1:41:15tried for 20 years has worked?
1:41:15 > 1:41:18Maybe he's going to surprise us all because there's a suggestion
1:41:18 > 1:41:20that in the New Year, they are going to unveil
1:41:20 > 1:41:22their Middle East peace plan, his son-in-law.
1:41:22 > 1:41:24Jared Kushner, has been working on it, travelling
1:41:24 > 1:41:26around the region, and, you know, perhaps there's
1:41:26 > 1:41:29going to be some sort of surprise and perhaps the announcement he made
1:41:29 > 1:41:31yesterday is part of a quid pro quo in Israel.
1:41:31 > 1:41:34But, you know, I think people would take him much more seriously
1:41:34 > 1:41:37on the subject of peace if he wasn't so loudly one-sided
1:41:37 > 1:41:46in the way that he's been.
1:41:46 > 1:41:48Fawaz Gerges is professor of international relations
1:41:48 > 1:41:51at the London School of Economics.
1:41:51 > 1:42:00Hello.What do you expect to happen next?What I fear is that Trump's
1:42:00 > 1:42:07move could put Gaza into a raging fire, provide a spark triggering a
1:42:07 > 1:42:12fire in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Hamas, a Palestinian resistance
1:42:12 > 1:42:19group, is calling for another intifada. Iran and its allies
1:42:19 > 1:42:24calling for armed resistance. There is a rallying cry in the Arab and
1:42:24 > 1:42:28Islamic world. Remember, Victoria, Jerusalem is not just sacred for the
1:42:28 > 1:42:33Jewish people, it is sacred for the dues, the Christians and the
1:42:33 > 1:42:37Muslims. What I fear the most is this particular move is seen as the
1:42:37 > 1:42:43struggle that Trump is changing the conflict between the Palestinians
1:42:43 > 1:42:47and Israelis from a nationalist struggle over a piece of land into a
1:42:47 > 1:42:56very dangerous...Even though he offered... He said again, he is
1:42:56 > 1:43:03committed to a two state solution to the Israeli- Palestinian issue and
1:43:03 > 1:43:09he insisted it did not prejudice final settlement.Look...You do not
1:43:09 > 1:43:16believenot at all. He is a destructive. If he was serious about
1:43:16 > 1:43:21the peace process, OK, West Jerusalem is the capital of Israel,
1:43:21 > 1:43:27fine, but why not say occupied East Jerusalem is the capital of a future
1:43:27 > 1:43:31Palestinian state? Why not offer a vision about a two-state solution?
1:43:31 > 1:43:35Did he say anything about the Palestinians? No one is saying West
1:43:35 > 1:43:40Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel, everyone is saying that the
1:43:40 > 1:43:45city itself is contested. In fact, the international community,
1:43:45 > 1:43:48international law, it argues east Jerusalem is an occupied city. Why
1:43:48 > 1:43:56take sides? The situation... It is a minefield, the cultural minefield.
1:43:56 > 1:44:03We know President Trump 's son-in-law has good relations with
1:44:03 > 1:44:09the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. How significant is it that Saudi
1:44:09 > 1:44:14Arabia has also condemned this?If you asked me what Donald Trump has
1:44:14 > 1:44:19done, he has undermined America's allies in the region, the Saudis,
1:44:19 > 1:44:21the Jordanians, Egyptians. He says he wants to create a coalition
1:44:21 > 1:44:26against Iran, this is the best gift Donald Trump has given to Iran
1:44:26 > 1:44:31because for a long time Iran has been saying, armed resistance... Now
1:44:31 > 1:44:36it takes the higher ground and the Saudis and the Jordanians and
1:44:36 > 1:44:41Egyptians are terrified because it provides ammunition and motivation
1:44:41 > 1:44:46for Iran and its allies in the region.Isn't that Arab world's
1:44:46 > 1:44:51chief preoccupation at the moment the fight against Isis and wars in
1:44:51 > 1:44:56Yemen and Syria?You are correct, the Middle East is imploding. Why
1:44:56 > 1:45:03pour gasoline on and in raging fire? Another major spark for the
1:45:03 > 1:45:07conflict? Why now? Why play with fire? That is exactly what we are
1:45:07 > 1:45:11talking about. Let us resolve the raging fires, put out the fires,
1:45:11 > 1:45:15instead of creating a new one.Thank you very much for coming on the
1:45:15 > 1:45:20programme.
1:45:20 > 1:45:22The accounts of Bath Spa University have shown
1:45:22 > 1:45:25that its departing vice-chancellor, Professor Christina Slade,
1:45:25 > 1:45:28received more than £800,000 in pay and benefits in her final year
1:45:28 > 1:45:33in the post.
1:45:33 > 1:45:38It is one of the smallest universities in the country.
1:45:38 > 1:45:39In the 2016/17 academic year.
1:45:39 > 1:45:41Professor Slade received a £429,000 compensation
1:45:41 > 1:45:43payment for loss of office.
1:45:43 > 1:45:47That's on top of a salary of £250,000 as vice-chancellor.
1:45:47 > 1:45:51She was also paid £129,000 in pension contributions,
1:45:51 > 1:45:54housing allowance and other benefits, taking
1:45:54 > 1:45:58the total to £808,000.
1:45:58 > 1:46:01The university has defended the pay packet, with a spokeswoman saying,
1:46:01 > 1:46:05"Having taken legal advice, the University paid Professor Slade
1:46:05 > 1:46:10a sum which reflected her contractual and statutory
1:46:10 > 1:46:17entitlements and was considered to represent value for money."
1:46:17 > 1:46:24She said the salary was the decided by a pay committee.
1:46:24 > 1:46:26This comes only ten days after the vice-chancellor
1:46:26 > 1:46:29of Bath University announced that she would be stepping down
1:46:29 > 1:46:31in 2019 after complaints from students and staff
1:46:31 > 1:46:32about her pay.
1:46:32 > 1:46:34Joining me now is the general secretary of the University
1:46:34 > 1:46:37and College Union, Sally Hunt.
1:46:37 > 1:46:45Hello.What do your members make of this?It is another example in a
1:46:45 > 1:46:50long line of university leaders who seem to have lost the plot.It is
1:46:50 > 1:46:55nothing to do with the university leaders, it is the pay committee.It
1:46:55 > 1:46:59is everything to do with a leader who accept a pay packet and I have
1:46:59 > 1:47:03to remind everyone two thirds of vice chancellors either sit on the
1:47:03 > 1:47:09remuneration committees...She did not sit on that committee.Or accept
1:47:09 > 1:47:13payments that come from committees where the vast bulk of them will not
1:47:13 > 1:47:18publish the reasons why they are giving these pay rises. We are
1:47:18 > 1:47:21worried about the fact the university system is being brought
1:47:21 > 1:47:26into disrepute. The members represent have below inflation pay
1:47:26 > 1:47:30rises done across the table, through trade unions and collective
1:47:30 > 1:47:34bargaining and their leaders are not doing the same thing. It is the same
1:47:34 > 1:47:38thing in the University of Bath, Southampton. It is happening right
1:47:38 > 1:47:43across the country.The implication is the statement from the University
1:47:43 > 1:47:48is they took legal advice and this was the cheaper option.I suspect
1:47:48 > 1:47:51the legal advice is telling them that they have signed a contract and
1:47:51 > 1:47:54they are bound into this. The question is why they thought this
1:47:54 > 1:47:59was good value for money in the first place. We are talking about an
1:47:59 > 1:48:04enormous amount of money set against students with very high levels of
1:48:04 > 1:48:08debt, start finding their pensions are being attacked, knowing they
1:48:08 > 1:48:12have a system under real pressure. The point I keep coming back to is
1:48:12 > 1:48:15leadership. It is about showing you are doing what you are asking your
1:48:15 > 1:48:20staff to do. If you are asking your staff to do something in terms of
1:48:20 > 1:48:24pay and pensions, you should be doing the same thing. What has
1:48:24 > 1:48:28happened at Bath is another example of vice chancellors doing one thing
1:48:28 > 1:48:34for themselves, which is nice, and the others.You will know that the
1:48:34 > 1:48:37argument is in a global marketplace you have to pay these kind of
1:48:37 > 1:48:45salaries in order to get the best people. Yes.Yes. It is the vice
1:48:45 > 1:48:48chancellors who are putting forward that argument. Frankly I do not
1:48:48 > 1:48:53believe it. If we are in a system that is taking public money, funded
1:48:53 > 1:48:57by students going into debt, you have to have a rational, reasonable
1:48:57 > 1:49:03level of pay. If you want to own megabucks, go to the city, go
1:49:03 > 1:49:07somewhere else. This is about academia, education, public service
1:49:07 > 1:49:12and public duty at its most basic level. That is not about saying I
1:49:12 > 1:49:16want large amounts of money. I represent brilliant people queueing
1:49:16 > 1:49:20up to do these kind of jobs, I do not think we would have a problem, I
1:49:20 > 1:49:26just do not.But could they do those jobs? Of course people are queueing
1:49:26 > 1:49:30up for a package like this, but in the end you are running a business.
1:49:30 > 1:49:35You have got hundreds of staff, thousands of students and you are at
1:49:35 > 1:49:41the top person.What is interesting about this debate is we are ending
1:49:41 > 1:49:45up scrutinising individual salaries and the reason we are doing that is
1:49:45 > 1:49:48because there is no transparency. We have been asking for some kind of
1:49:48 > 1:49:54pay register that shows where people are paid and what they are paid. We
1:49:54 > 1:49:57have asked for transparency in terms of decision making, we have asked
1:49:57 > 1:50:02for students to be on those bodies so we understand it. If you get the
1:50:02 > 1:50:06process right, you stop having the argument, which can be a bit tacky,
1:50:06 > 1:50:12about individuals.Change the make-up of the pay committees and
1:50:12 > 1:50:14publish the minutes of those meetings when they conclude what
1:50:14 > 1:50:19they are going to pay their vice Chancellor?And what we have said to
1:50:19 > 1:50:22the government and what Joe Johnson the minister in charge of this has
1:50:22 > 1:50:26said is we need to have some system that says where you are paid over a
1:50:26 > 1:50:30certain amount you have to explain why. I think that is reasonable and
1:50:30 > 1:50:34that deals with all senior pay which then starts dealing with other wider
1:50:34 > 1:50:41issues in terms of the quality of pay between men and women and
1:50:41 > 1:50:46minorities. If you do not have clear, open systems, we know, and it
1:50:46 > 1:50:50is not just in academia or my sector, it is across the board,
1:50:50 > 1:50:53things happen that are not justifiable or explainable.Until
1:50:53 > 1:50:59that happens, let's assume it does one day, until that happens, you are
1:50:59 > 1:51:05clearly appealing to bosses and vice Chancellors and the heads of
1:51:05 > 1:51:07organisations in a pay committee offers you an absolutely thumping
1:51:07 > 1:51:12some with benefits piled upon benefits, you do not have to take it
1:51:12 > 1:51:17all is that what you are saying? I am saying show leadership and part
1:51:17 > 1:51:21of leadership is doing what you are asking your staff to do. I accept
1:51:21 > 1:51:25that you have people who have to take tough decisions and have to
1:51:25 > 1:51:29manage large budgets and organisations, they should be well
1:51:29 > 1:51:32supported. What I do not accept is that should be completely divorced
1:51:32 > 1:51:36from the people they are representing and managing that those
1:51:36 > 1:51:39people feel there is no traction there and there is no recognition
1:51:39 > 1:51:45and respect for them.Yes, I am asking for is a absolute I would say
1:51:45 > 1:51:49politeness, and that is a polite way of putting it, to your staff. If
1:51:49 > 1:51:53they are taking a hit, do the same thing and show leadership.Thank you
1:51:53 > 1:52:05very much, the general secretary of the universities and College union.
1:52:05 > 1:52:09Let's talk about waiting times in A&E and Martin Milton got in touch
1:52:09 > 1:52:12with us and he was watching the programme earlier. His mother spent
1:52:12 > 1:52:20approximately how much time in A&E? Because she became a failed
1:52:20 > 1:52:27discharge, that is the technical term, it was 21 hours the first time
1:52:27 > 1:52:34and ten hours the second time before she was admitted finally.Talk us
1:52:34 > 1:52:42through the first trip. What happened in that 21 hours?Part of
1:52:42 > 1:52:45the problem was excruciating back pain and we sat in the outside
1:52:45 > 1:52:47waiting room for several hours on shares when we moved through the
1:52:47 > 1:52:57doors into where observations were taken. She sat for eight hours in
1:52:57 > 1:53:00total on a chair before they could find a trolley. This exacerbated the
1:53:00 > 1:53:08back pain. It was very busy and you cannot complain about that. But this
1:53:08 > 1:53:12system is collapsing. She was left like this and was left with no care,
1:53:12 > 1:53:17people did not have the time to look after her. It was very distressing
1:53:17 > 1:53:22for her and distressing for the family.Presumably you saw medical
1:53:22 > 1:53:29professionals under pressure trying to do their best?Yes, but they do
1:53:29 > 1:53:34not do their best. This is one of my concerns. Without speaking at any
1:53:34 > 1:53:38individual what you get is people saying, OK, I have got the nose, I
1:53:38 > 1:53:43will be back and they do not. We were told she had to be admitted
1:53:43 > 1:53:48because there were these problems. After 21 hours when we finally got
1:53:48 > 1:53:52admitted the nurses have got a different summary and they said she
1:53:52 > 1:53:59was going home. -- got the notes. That is very distressing.And
1:53:59 > 1:54:06dangerous.That is a fair point.The very next day there was another
1:54:06 > 1:54:10ambulance. As I say she had been admitted finally.What is the
1:54:10 > 1:54:16solution?At the moment I am in the middle of a complaint to the
1:54:16 > 1:54:23hospital. I will also be writing to my MP and the Health Secretary. It
1:54:23 > 1:54:27is not as if individual staff are problem, they are not, they are
1:54:27 > 1:54:31doing their best, but they are stressed. They were lovely with her
1:54:31 > 1:54:35and that is important and now she seems to be getting all the bits
1:54:35 > 1:54:41coming together which is lovely to see. But these policies that mean in
1:54:41 > 1:54:44that area they have just closed down services and expect miraculously
1:54:44 > 1:54:49other services to pick it up, it is not working. I am not complaining
1:54:49 > 1:54:58about my situation. We were in line in a 45 person queue on Saturday, 45
1:54:58 > 1:55:06people in distress. Even after being seen by the staff, and I do not know
1:55:06 > 1:55:12what else the staff can do, they say, what do what we to do?Without
1:55:12 > 1:55:17naming the hospital, where are you in the country?I in Kent. I am in
1:55:17 > 1:55:21London, but my mother is in Kent.We wish your mother all the best. Thank
1:55:21 > 1:55:23you.
1:55:23 > 1:55:24Thank you.

1:55:28 > 1:55:31and most distant ever observed.
1:55:31 > 1:55:34The black hole is more than thirteen billion light years
1:55:34 > 1:55:38away from earth and could give clues to some of the earliest
1:55:38 > 1:55:44moments of the universe.
1:55:44 > 1:55:47The lead research team, from the Carnegie Institution
1:55:47 > 1:55:49for Science, says light detected from the quasar dates back to only
1:55:49 > 1:55:52690 million years after the Big Bang when the universe was beginning
1:55:52 > 1:55:55to emerge from a period known as the dark ages just before
1:55:55 > 1:55:56the first stars appeared.
1:55:56 > 1:55:58I'm joined now by Doctor Fiona Fpeirits, research
1:55:58 > 1:56:00fellow at the University of Glasgow's Physics
1:56:00 > 1:56:01and Astronomy department.
1:56:01 > 1:56:05I cannot get my head around 13 billion light years, explained that.
1:56:05 > 1:56:12We struggle with that as well. It means the universe is only about 5%
1:56:12 > 1:56:17of its current gauge and this object we were detecting was created when
1:56:17 > 1:56:22the light was emitted from it. Pretty far away.We have not got
1:56:22 > 1:56:29masses of time. Tell us how you found this black hole.Just a
1:56:29 > 1:56:40telescope. Just a really impressive telescope and technology base in one
1:56:40 > 1:56:44of the universities in the United States. You can see the light from
1:56:44 > 1:56:48it.I am trying to imagine the scene. Is that one person or are
1:56:48 > 1:56:54there several scientists? Do they say, is that what I think it is? How
1:56:54 > 1:56:59does it work?You have lots of people working on these projects at
1:56:59 > 1:57:03all different levels from professors through to PhD students. They have
1:57:03 > 1:57:06time on these telescopes to make observations and they have huge
1:57:06 > 1:57:12amounts of data at the end of it and they spend time going through the
1:57:12 > 1:57:14images and the spectroscopic measurements and trying to piece
1:57:14 > 1:57:19together what it is they can see and come up with the conclusion that
1:57:19 > 1:57:25this must be a supermassive black hole.How can looking at a black
1:57:25 > 1:57:28hole briefly and finally tell us about what happened 13 billion years
1:57:28 > 1:57:34ago?We cannot travel there, so we are relying on the light that we can
1:57:34 > 1:57:38see from it and it is a snapshot of what the universe looked like back
1:57:38 > 1:57:43then and we can forward map it into how the universe evolved into what
1:57:43 > 1:57:47we see today and potentially where it will evolve to in the future as
1:57:47 > 1:57:50well.Amazing, thank you so much for telling us about it.
1:57:50 > 1:57:56Amazing, thank you so much for telling us about it.

1:58:04 > 1:58:10A&E waiting times. We are back tomorrow at nine, have a lovely day.
