0:00:08 > 0:00:11Hello it's Friday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Chloe Tilley,

0:00:11 > 0:00:12welcome to the programme

0:00:12 > 0:00:15A simple blood test to diagnose cancer.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18Scientists in America are trialling a test which can detect eight

0:00:18 > 0:00:19forms on the disease.

0:00:19 > 0:00:23It's being hailed as a major breakthrough.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27I look forward to a time in 10 years where we all go to the pharmacy,

0:00:27 > 0:00:30we buy our shampoo, we give a blood test.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34And we get on with our lives.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37The NHS is spending more money on diagnostics

0:00:37 > 0:00:39than treating the disease.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41We'll have all the details and ask when it might be

0:00:41 > 0:00:42available in the UK.

0:00:42 > 0:00:50The Californian couple accused of imprisoning,

0:00:50 > 0:00:52abusing and torturing their 13 children plead not guilty in court.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55We'll have the latest.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08The true story of a man from Southern India who helped

0:01:08 > 0:01:10millions of women by designing cheap sanitary towels is made

0:01:10 > 0:01:12into a major Sony picture.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17Woman strong, mother son, sister strong, then country strong.

0:01:17 > 0:01:23Woman strong, mother strong, sister strong, then country strong.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Hello...

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35A new study has found that work is taking a heavy toll on parents,

0:01:35 > 0:01:42affecting their health and family lives.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44The research from the charity Working Families found many

0:01:44 > 0:01:46parents were putting in more than their contracted hours

0:01:46 > 0:01:48because of intense work loads.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51It found almost two in five do not get home in time to say

0:01:51 > 0:01:54goodnight to their children.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Is that your experience? We want to hear from you this morning.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Do get in touch with your experiences - use the hashtag

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Victoria LIVE and If you text, you will be charged

0:02:04 > 0:02:05Our top story today...

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Scientists in the US are close to a major

0:02:07 > 0:02:09cancer breakthrough, after trials for a new universal

0:02:09 > 0:02:15blood test detected eight common forms of the disease.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Overall, the test found 70% of the cancers -

0:02:17 > 0:02:19but researchers are cautiously optmistic, saying more work

0:02:19 > 0:02:20is needed to verify its accuracy.

0:02:20 > 0:02:25Here's our health correspondent, James Gallagher.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28More than 14 million people find out they have cancer

0:02:28 > 0:02:29each year worldwide.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32The sooner they're diagnosed, the more likely they are to survive.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35The test, called CancerSEEK, is a new approach that looks

0:02:35 > 0:02:37for mutated DNA and proteins that tumours release

0:02:37 > 0:02:40into the bloodstream.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42It was tested on eight common times of cancer,

0:02:42 > 0:02:46including ovarian, pancreatic and lung.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49In the study, on more than 1,000 patients known to have cancer,

0:02:49 > 0:02:54the test correctly diagnosed seven in 10 patients.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58The researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore say more

0:02:58 > 0:03:01work is needed and are starting trials to see if the test can find

0:03:01 > 0:03:06cancers in seemingly healthy people.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08They say such tests could have an enormous impact

0:03:08 > 0:03:09on cancer mortality.

0:03:09 > 0:03:17Experts in the UK said the approach had massive potential.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23I look forward to a time in 10 years where we all go

0:03:23 > 0:03:25to the pharmacy and buy shampoo, we get a blood

0:03:25 > 0:03:27test, and we get on with our lives.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30The NHS is spending more money diagnosing than treating disease

0:03:30 > 0:03:33because if we can diagnose it early then we can treat it sooner.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36The researchers' vision is an annual test that can catch cancer early

0:03:36 > 0:03:37and save lives.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39James Gallagher, BBC News.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Annita McVeigh is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

0:03:41 > 0:03:48of the rest of the days news.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Living conditions at Liverpool prison are the worst that inspectors

0:03:52 > 0:03:57have ever seen, according to a new report. Her Majesty's prison and

0:03:57 > 0:04:00probation service has said it has already taken immediate action by

0:04:00 > 0:04:04appointing a new governor and cleanliness has also improved. Our

0:04:04 > 0:04:07health correspondent Adina Campbell reports.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09"Dirty, infested and hazardous" - these are conditions hundreds

0:04:09 > 0:04:11of inmates are facing at Liverpool Prison,

0:04:11 > 0:04:16according to a new report by the prison watchdog.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20As well as problems with rats, broken windows and blocked toilets,

0:04:20 > 0:04:25it has also found two thirds of inmates had easy access to drugs,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28often smuggled by the growing use of drones, with more than one

0:04:28 > 0:04:31seized every week.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33And violence had also increased.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35More than a third of prisoners said they felt unsafe

0:04:35 > 0:04:38at the time of the inspection.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41I was horrified when I read this report.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's the worst report I have ever seen into a British prison

0:04:44 > 0:04:46and that's the assessment, too, of the very experienced

0:04:46 > 0:04:50inspectorate team.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53They said these were the worst living conditions for prisoners

0:04:53 > 0:04:56that they had ever experienced.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service

0:04:59 > 0:05:03acknowledged that the conditions at the prison were unacceptable.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06It said it's already taken immediate action

0:05:06 > 0:05:09by appointing a new governor, and that cleanliness

0:05:09 > 0:05:12has also improved.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15It also says it has put a huge amount of energy and money

0:05:15 > 0:05:19into trying to improve the prison healthcare service there.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21The inspection took place in September last year,

0:05:21 > 0:05:27but last month, whistle-blowers told the BBC that inmates

0:05:27 > 0:05:31at Liverpool Prison had died or been injured due to poor care,

0:05:31 > 0:05:38which Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust has apologised for.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Today's report comes after the government was ordered

0:05:41 > 0:05:43to make immediate improvements to Nottingham Prison

0:05:43 > 0:05:48over safety concerns.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Eight men there are believed to have taken their own lives in two years.

0:05:51 > 0:05:57Adina Campbell, BBC News.

0:05:57 > 0:06:02A couple from California who are accused of abusing their 13 children

0:06:02 > 0:06:07have pleaded not guilty to charges of abuse, torture and false

0:06:07 > 0:06:10imprisonment. David and Louise Turpin were arrested on Sunday after

0:06:10 > 0:06:14one of their children escaped through a window from their home.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Police found them severely malnourished with some in shackles.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Our North America correspondent James Cook reports.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24..Give up that right.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26David Turpin appearing in court to deny torturing his own children

0:06:26 > 0:06:30and sexually abusing one of his young daughters.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33His wife, Louise, also pleaded not guilty.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Prosecutors say the siblings endured the abuse for years as their parents

0:06:37 > 0:06:41plumbed the depths of human depravity.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44One of the children at age 12 is the weight of an average

0:06:44 > 0:06:487-year-old.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Several of the victims have cognitive impairment and neuropathy,

0:06:52 > 0:06:54which is nerve damage, as a result of this extreme

0:06:54 > 0:06:56and prolonged physical abuse.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58The children were supposedly schooled here in their home,

0:06:58 > 0:07:00but the district attorney said some didn't even know

0:07:00 > 0:07:04what a police officer was.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07They were reportedly allowed to shower just once a year

0:07:07 > 0:07:11and were taunted with food that they were forbidden to eat.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14The 17-year-old, who raised the alarm after climbing out of the home

0:07:14 > 0:07:17through a window, had been plotting the escape for two years.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20One of her sisters made it out with her, but turned back

0:07:20 > 0:07:21out of fear.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24This case has sent waves of revulsion across

0:07:24 > 0:07:27the United States and beyond.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30The authorities say the siblings are doing well, but some of them

0:07:30 > 0:07:33at least have almost certainly suffered irreparable physical

0:07:33 > 0:07:37and mental damage.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39The parents are due in court again next month.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41If convicted, they face life in prison.

0:07:41 > 0:07:49James Cook, BBC News, Riverside in California.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Two fishermen are missing after their boat capsized off

0:07:53 > 0:07:55the coast of Western Scotland.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00Lifeboats were launched after receiving a distress signal

0:08:00 > 0:08:02from Loch Fyne in Argyll and Bute yesterday evening.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Royal Navy divers have been helping in the search.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Another man who was rescued is recovering in hospital.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Funds earmarked to help transform the NHS have instead been spent

0:08:10 > 0:08:13on managing existing pressures, that's according to a report

0:08:13 > 0:08:21from the National Audit Office.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26In 2017, trusts received more than £3 billion

0:08:26 > 0:08:28of additional cash injections to help fund day-to-day activities.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30But it said growing pressures and surging demand had caused

0:08:30 > 0:08:31a reallocation of resources.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35Increasing costs on the build of the UK's new aircraft carrier

0:08:35 > 0:08:36programme is putting the budgets of other

0:08:36 > 0:08:38defence projects at risk, according to MPs.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40A Public Accounts Committee report said the programme,

0:08:40 > 0:08:43which includes two new carriers costing £6 billion,

0:08:43 > 0:08:47is hugely complex and costly.

0:08:47 > 0:08:55The MoD said that it was committed to keeping costs down.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced

0:08:58 > 0:08:59that she is pregnant.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Ms Ardern said she and her partner, Clarke Gayford, were expecting

0:09:01 > 0:09:03their child in June, after which she planned

0:09:03 > 0:09:05to take a six-week break.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Ms Ardern is now set to be the second elected world leader

0:09:08 > 0:09:11to give birth while in office - and the first to do

0:09:11 > 0:09:19so in almost 30 years.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Winds from a storm across northern Europe reached up to 200 kilometres

0:09:27 > 0:09:33per hour causing severe disruption to travel and plunging thousands of

0:09:33 > 0:09:36homes into darkness.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39A car has ploughed into crowds close to Copacabana beach in Brazil,

0:09:39 > 0:09:41killing a baby and injuring a dozen more people.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Eyewitnesses said the car went over a bicycle path

0:09:43 > 0:09:45and across the promenade, hitting people and crashing through

0:09:45 > 0:09:47the tables and chairs of a cafe.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50The driver, who was detained, had an epileptic fit at the wheel,

0:09:50 > 0:09:52and drugs to treat the condition were found by police

0:09:52 > 0:09:55in the vehicle, reports say.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58The duration of adolescence is increasing - and now lasts

0:09:58 > 0:10:00from the age of 10 until 24, according to scientists.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03They say that young people continuing their education

0:10:03 > 0:10:07for longer, as well as delayed marriage and parenthood, which has

0:10:07 > 0:10:14pushed back popular perceptions of when adulthood begins.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Writing in the Lancet health journal, the researchers argue

0:10:16 > 0:10:18a change in the definition of adolescence is needed

0:10:18 > 0:10:20to ensure laws and government policy stay appropriate.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Boris Johnson has proposed building a 22 mile bridge

0:10:24 > 0:10:26across the English Channel, saying he believes another link

0:10:26 > 0:10:30would further improve relations between the two countries.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33He made the suggestion at the meeting with the French

0:10:33 > 0:10:35President Macron yesterday.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38A source close to the Foreign Secretary said he believed the fact

0:10:38 > 0:10:45the two countries are only connected by one railway line was "crazy".

0:10:45 > 0:10:47The British author Peter Mayle, who wrote "A Year in

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Provence" has died aged 78.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50His publisher said he'd suffered a short illness.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53The book, published in 1989, told the story of his first year

0:10:53 > 0:10:56as a British expat in a village in the South of France.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59It sold six million copies around the world and was adapted for radio

0:10:59 > 0:11:00and television by the BBC.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03In 2002, the French government awarded him a Knight

0:11:03 > 0:11:10of the Legion of Honour, for his contributions to culture.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9:30am.

0:11:15 > 0:11:20Do get in touch with us throughout the morning -

0:11:20 > 0:11:23use the hashtag Victoria LIVE and if you text, you will be charged

0:11:23 > 0:11:26at the standard network rate.

0:11:26 > 0:11:34Let's get some sport, Olly Foster is with us this morning.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Lots going on in Australia at the moment, tennis and cricket,

0:11:37 > 0:11:41let's start with Kyle Edmund.

0:11:41 > 0:11:47Kyle Edmund is still going strong in Melbourne in the Australian open.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50He's the British number two. Andy Murray didn't make it to the start

0:11:50 > 0:11:54line and there are no British women left. But Kyle Edmund has equalled

0:11:54 > 0:12:00his best progress at a Grand Slam, into the fourth round.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02The British number 2 beat Nikoloz Basilashvili

0:12:02 > 0:12:05from Georgia in five sets.

0:12:05 > 0:12:11He won the first set, but lost the next two. Areola pants down match

0:12:11 > 0:12:20with both men not at their best. Had to dig very deep.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25to dig very deep. -- it was an up and down match.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Temperatures have been over 40 degrees for the second day running.

0:12:28 > 0:12:34A lot of players have been complaining, thinking

0:12:34 > 0:12:40that the tournament should be stopped.

0:12:40 > 0:12:46They do have a heat policy but it's not just based on temperature.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50Kyle Edmund through, but he certainly struggled.It's a tough

0:12:50 > 0:12:54one, but it is professional sport, it's meant to hurt. It's not meant

0:12:54 > 0:13:01to be easy, that's the point of it. But I guess... Yeah, if people start

0:13:01 > 0:13:05to become ill than it might be a concern. As far as I am aware,

0:13:05 > 0:13:10everybody is just getting through. It is supposed to go a little bit

0:13:10 > 0:13:13cooler in the next couple of days in Melbourne.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Andy Murray was watching Edmund and tweeted that it was

0:13:15 > 0:13:16the biggest win of his career.

0:13:16 > 0:13:22Told him congratulations.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23Andreas Seppi is next up for Edmund.

0:13:23 > 0:13:29Rafael Nadal is on court right now.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33Also talk about increased pay for tennis players. A big debate about

0:13:33 > 0:13:36it and an influential voice getting involved.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40Novak Djokovic is the President of the Players council and called

0:13:40 > 0:13:48a meeting before the tournament and they are unhappy

0:13:49 > 0:13:52that the Grand Slams pay out about 7% of their income on prize money.

0:13:52 > 0:13:57They feel it should be a lot more.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Roger Federer used to have that role and he has kept quiet up to now

0:14:00 > 0:14:01about the pay issue.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04When he was in charge there were talks of player boycotts. It didn't

0:14:04 > 0:14:09come to that, they did get or prize money. But he has kept quiet about

0:14:09 > 0:14:10it until now.

0:14:10 > 0:14:14And he thinks that the time has come to up pay again.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18We are not partners, we are just players. So it's always hard to

0:14:18 > 0:14:23rally. We had a good agreement, in my opinion, that made the grand

0:14:23 > 0:14:27slams happy, the players pretty happy. It seems that has run its

0:14:27 > 0:14:34course. So the moment that happens, there isn't the same increases any

0:14:34 > 0:14:37more, so players have to rally and get back together again and put in

0:14:37 > 0:14:42the effort. The tournaments know that and will only react when we do

0:14:42 > 0:14:47so. We are ready to do it and it will be the same process over and

0:14:47 > 0:14:50over again.When Roger Federer speaks you imagine they will start

0:14:50 > 0:14:54listening. It's not just the winners of the grand slams, they will take

0:14:54 > 0:15:02more than £2 million home. It's the players to get knocked out the

0:15:02 > 0:15:04players to get knocked out the in the first round. They spend a lot of

0:15:04 > 0:15:07money travelling.And let's talk about the cricket with Ingram

0:15:07 > 0:15:10starting the run chase in Brisbane.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14England chased down over 300 to win the first one-dayer.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18That gave them a 1-0 lead in the series.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Australia made 270-9 after winning the toss.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Aaron Finch made a century, that's two in two matches,

0:15:22 > 0:15:27but they couldn't get a partnership going.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31And their were a couple of wickets each from Adil Rashid and Joe Root.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Jason Roy made a record 180 in the first one dayer

0:15:33 > 0:15:36but he was out for just two in the very first over

0:15:36 > 0:15:39of the England reply, caught by Finch off the bowling

0:15:39 > 0:15:40of Mitchell Starc.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44Alex Hales and Jonny Bairstow then tried to outdo each other, racing to

0:15:44 > 0:15:5350 each. Both going, Alex Hales at 57 and Jonny Bairstow out on 60.

0:15:53 > 0:15:59England at 145-3 and racing towards taking a 2-0 lead in the series. All

0:15:59 > 0:16:02going well for England's cricketers and we haven't said that much over

0:16:02 > 0:16:07the winter!

0:16:07 > 0:16:09This weekend marks a year since Donald Trump was sworn

0:16:09 > 0:16:12in as America's 45th President and he's certainly made his mark.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15In what's been an incredibly eventful year, he's been

0:16:15 > 0:16:21accused of being everything from racist to incompetent.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24But unemployment in the States is at a 17-year low and many of his

0:16:24 > 0:16:27supporters are as loyal as ever.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Let's have a look at some of the key moments of

0:16:29 > 0:16:31the last 12 months.

0:16:31 > 0:16:37I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that

0:16:37 > 0:16:40I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States.

0:16:40 > 0:16:46Congratulations, Mr President.

0:16:46 > 0:16:52No politician in history has been treated worse or more unfairly.

0:16:52 > 0:16:57We need strong programmes.

0:16:57 > 0:17:02So that people that love us and want to love our country

0:17:02 > 0:17:06and will end up loving our country are allowed in.

0:17:06 > 0:17:14Not people that want to destroy us and destroy our country.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20I can often tell how I get along with somebody very early,

0:17:20 > 0:17:24and I believe we're going to have a fantastic relationship.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25We'll just let Obamacare fail.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27We're not going to own it.

0:17:27 > 0:17:28I'm not going to own it.

0:17:28 > 0:17:33I can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37We'll let Obamacare fail, and then Democrats are going to come to us,

0:17:37 > 0:17:41and there are going to say, how do we fix it, how do we fix it?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43I am not going to give you a question.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44Can you state categorically...

0:17:44 > 0:17:47You are fake news.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50More than anything, I just think it was in the best interest

0:17:50 > 0:17:52of our communications department, of our press organisation,

0:17:52 > 0:17:57to not have too many cooks in the kitchen.

0:17:57 > 0:18:03It's heartbreaking.

0:18:03 > 0:18:09But for now, that's it.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14The United States stands prepared to defend itself and its allies

0:18:14 > 0:18:18using the full range of our unmatched military

0:18:18 > 0:18:25capabilities if need be.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29There are a lot of issues that need to be talked about,

0:18:29 > 0:18:33need to be brought to life.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody

0:18:35 > 0:18:38disrespects our flag to say get that son of a (BLEEP) off

0:18:38 > 0:18:39the field right now?

0:18:39 > 0:18:40Out!

0:18:40 > 0:18:42He's fired!

0:18:42 > 0:18:46It's the largest, I always say the most massive,

0:18:46 > 0:18:50but it's the largest tax cut in the history of our country.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54I consider it a work of fiction, but just so you know,

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I never interviewed with him in the White House at all.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58He was never in the Oval Office.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59We didn't have an interview.

0:18:59 > 0:19:00I never questioned his mental fitness.

0:19:00 > 0:19:05I have no reason to question his mental fitness.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07The first goal is, we want Trump to apologise.

0:19:07 > 0:19:13We deserve an apology for his comment.

0:19:13 > 0:19:18I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22The Russia story is a total fabrication.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26It's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American

0:19:26 > 0:19:34politics, that's all it is.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Joining us now is

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Pearleen Sangha - she's a Democrat who worked

0:19:42 > 0:19:48on the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52And Jan Halper-Hayes, from Republicans Overseas, former

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Worldwide Vice President of Republicans Overseas.

0:19:55 > 0:20:03Good to speak to you both. Pearleen, start with you, in some ways it

0:20:03 > 0:20:06feels like years ago that I was in Washington the inauguration but how

0:20:06 > 0:20:11do you feel United States has changed in the last year?Good

0:20:11 > 0:20:18morning, Chloe. Thank you for having me on. One year and, it really feels

0:20:18 > 0:20:24like the administration still hasn't gotten off the ground. And the White

0:20:24 > 0:20:28House is inundated with infighting, resignations and firing. Despite

0:20:28 > 0:20:35holding power in both houses of Congress we still on the brink of a

0:20:35 > 0:20:38government shutdown, the deadline being tonight. The biggest change

0:20:38 > 0:20:44that we have seen is that Trump's presidency has been marked by policy

0:20:44 > 0:20:48announcements on Twitter, something we have never seen before. That has

0:20:48 > 0:20:52included the Muslim band, a ban on transgender people the army, both of

0:20:52 > 0:20:58which have been struck down by the courts. You know, the one thing

0:20:58 > 0:21:14domestically that Trump has tried to do is the tax change, which is not

0:21:14 > 0:21:20a" when".Can we get jammed's thoughts on this? Jan, as 21 year

0:21:20 > 0:21:25ago in Washington and you were hugely optimistic about the time

0:21:25 > 0:21:31ahead, -- when I saw you one year ago. Is the country now more

0:21:31 > 0:21:34divided, one your arm? Lacey the thing is, the polarisation has been

0:21:34 > 0:21:38going on for more than 20 years as both parties have moved further to

0:21:38 > 0:21:43the left and further to the right. And one identity politics really

0:21:43 > 0:21:47became the way in which they captured voters, that polarisation

0:21:47 > 0:21:53was there. I don't think it has changed because the Democrats are

0:21:53 > 0:21:59very happy to continue that. And the Republicans in our own party, we've

0:21:59 > 0:22:04got a bit of polarisation. Do you think there is a special

0:22:04 > 0:22:12relationship between the US and the UK?Whenever I get asked that, it is

0:22:12 > 0:22:18kind of, what is the special relationship? I think it is, the

0:22:18 > 0:22:23fact that we are allies, but is the leadership of each country changes I

0:22:23 > 0:22:28think the definition of its changes. You can definitely found on the US

0:22:28 > 0:22:34with a trade agreement under Brexit. And that is probably one of the most

0:22:34 > 0:22:39important special relationships that will exist.Pearleen, do you think

0:22:39 > 0:22:42there is that special relationship? You know, I think there certainly

0:22:42 > 0:22:50was. I think that despite Theresa May being the first in line to meet

0:22:50 > 0:22:54President Trump, one year ago, she hasn't really gained anything from

0:22:54 > 0:23:01it. The government over there is in need of support, with Brexit. I

0:23:01 > 0:23:07think it has been a stark difference to what we have seen before. And his

0:23:07 > 0:23:13relationship with the UK has not proved friendly or fruitful. He has

0:23:13 > 0:23:19actively attacked the Mayor of London. And he has frankly forced to

0:23:19 > 0:23:24made to slap him down when he shared far right propaganda from Britain

0:23:24 > 0:23:32First. And in addition to that, Sadiq Khan's concerns and various

0:23:32 > 0:23:35parliamentary address is led by a number of MPs have been broadcast

0:23:35 > 0:23:41over here on national news. They've made it clear that Trump is neither

0:23:41 > 0:23:45welcome nor wanted in the UK. So I think that speaks volumes to the

0:23:45 > 0:23:50state of the relationship at the moment. It has clearly proved very

0:23:50 > 0:23:54embarrassing for the administration. And it has resulted in this bizarre

0:23:54 > 0:23:58series of tweets and press statements and why Trump will not be

0:23:58 > 0:24:06travelling to London!Forgive me, Pearleen... Jan, how has President

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Trump down on the world stage in the last year. Pearleen has raised the

0:24:09 > 0:24:16fact that he has insulted the Mayor of London. Also the Twitter attacks

0:24:16 > 0:24:19on North Korea and disparaging language used just last week about

0:24:19 > 0:24:26some countries, on a world stage how has he done?You would have to go

0:24:26 > 0:24:30country by country, almost. If we look at what the president of South

0:24:30 > 0:24:36Korea says he was exceedingly complementary and credited Trump as

0:24:36 > 0:24:41being the catalyst that got North Korea and South Korea to begin

0:24:41 > 0:24:46talks, and the fact that they are going to march together at the

0:24:46 > 0:24:53opening of the Olympics under one flag.

0:24:53 > 0:25:01flag.It is not successful diplomacy...Pearleen, please wait a

0:25:01 > 0:25:06moment. Jan, please finish your point, I know that's Pearleen is

0:25:06 > 0:25:12keen to come in but she will wait until you have finished.I find that

0:25:12 > 0:25:16very rude because I have not interrupted her. I think there is

0:25:16 > 0:25:20some hope at Davos because Theresa May and Trump will have a cordial

0:25:20 > 0:25:27conversation. I think that Trump really does not mind all the

0:25:27 > 0:25:32controversy. He brings it on. Sometimes he shoots himself in the

0:25:32 > 0:25:38foot but he has a very strategic approach to his tweets. Some people

0:25:38 > 0:25:42might not like it but would you have told JFK to get of TV, Franklin

0:25:42 > 0:25:48Roosevelt to get off the radio? This is part of our culture today. And he

0:25:48 > 0:25:55is playing and better than anyone else have.Strategic to say, I am a

0:25:55 > 0:26:07very stable genius, on Twitter? Well, look, come on! You know he's

0:26:07 > 0:26:10going to respond to things like that. We did some research and

0:26:10 > 0:26:12people are getting so bored with hearing us on the media talk about

0:26:12 > 0:26:17his behaviour.A fair point. Pearleen, I know you want to make a

0:26:17 > 0:26:23point.I am not sure I agree with most of that. It is not successful

0:26:23 > 0:26:27diplomacy if Americans in Hawaii were living in absolute fear the 30

0:26:27 > 0:26:32minutes that be a missile strike because Trump constantly wants to

0:26:32 > 0:26:36argue with Kim Jong-un over who has the bigger nuclear button. And

0:26:36 > 0:26:41further to that is a he welcomes the controversy isn't good enough. He's

0:26:41 > 0:26:44making it harder for our allies and friends to do business with America.

0:26:44 > 0:26:50In the past week Mr Rogge tree comments about Haiti and all those

0:26:50 > 0:26:53other African countries -- his derogatory comments, it has really

0:26:53 > 0:26:58shown that he is the only one in any kind of a hole at the moment. It is

0:26:58 > 0:27:05just an acceptable. We need to move past this -- it is just not

0:27:05 > 0:27:10acceptable. And I think by normalising it and creating a

0:27:10 > 0:27:19conversation that makes it OK, that is frankly, just, unreal.Pearleen,

0:27:19 > 0:27:24thank you for joining us, thank you to Jan as well.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's that time of the morning where we bring you up to date

0:27:27 > 0:27:29in the trial of former football coach Barry Bennell.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32The court heard how he made a "veiled threat" to ruin the career

0:27:32 > 0:27:34of one of his alleged victims.

0:27:34 > 0:27:35Greg Dawson is here.

0:27:35 > 0:27:36Tell us more.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Yes this is the trial, as you've said, of Barry Bennell

0:27:38 > 0:27:41who was a youth football coach linked to a number of teams

0:27:41 > 0:27:43including Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46He faces a total of 48 charges of sexual abuse

0:27:46 > 0:27:54between 1979 and 1991, which he denies.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Yesterday was day seven of the trial.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00The jury was shown the video of a police interview with a former

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Crewe Alexandra youth player.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06This man said he had been scouted by Barry Bennell who then took him

0:28:06 > 0:28:08for training sessions at Manchester City

0:28:08 > 0:28:09and to a soccer school.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12He claimed he was later sexually abused - both in Mr Bennell's

0:28:12 > 0:28:13home and in his car.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15The alleged victim left Crewe Alexandra in 1986

0:28:15 > 0:28:23to join another club.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32It was at this point he said he made allegations about the coach's

0:28:32 > 0:28:34behaviour to others though he didn't tell anyone he had

0:28:34 > 0:28:35personally been abused.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38It was at that point he said he received a two page handwritten

0:28:38 > 0:28:40letter from Mr Bennell on Crewe Alexandra headed

0:28:40 > 0:28:42notepaper asking why he was making allegations.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44He claimed the letter said: "Football is a small world,

0:28:44 > 0:28:46and troublemakers don't go far in the game".

0:28:46 > 0:28:49In the police interview the former player described that

0:28:49 > 0:28:49as a "veiled threat."

0:28:49 > 0:28:51And there were also details about Barry Bennell's health?

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Yes.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56The court heard how Barry Bennell claimed he had part of his tongue

0:28:56 > 0:29:04removed because of a tumour and was unable to eat and drink.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07The jury was read a transcript of a police interview

0:29:07 > 0:29:08with Mr Bennell himself.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11In it the former coach said: "I got cancer and I thought

0:29:11 > 0:29:12'Well, it's karma?.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15If you said to me 'lethal injection', I'd take it."

0:29:15 > 0:29:16In the interview, officers questioned Mr Bennell

0:29:16 > 0:29:19about allegations made by another player.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21Mr Bennell has admitted one count of indecent

0:29:21 > 0:29:24assault against this man.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26But denies other charges against him because -

0:29:26 > 0:29:31he said - the alleged victim "wouldn't allow it."

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Mr Bennell also told police how he had tried to kill himself

0:29:34 > 0:29:36after allegedly abusing boys because he was - in his words -

0:29:36 > 0:29:41"out of control".

0:29:41 > 0:29:45As I said, Mr Bennell denies a total of 48 charges of sexual abuse

0:29:45 > 0:29:48in this trial which continues later today.

0:29:48 > 0:29:55Greg Dawson, thank you for bringing us up to date with this trial. We

0:29:55 > 0:29:59spoke earlier about a study that says two out of five parents do not

0:29:59 > 0:30:02get to kiss their children good night because they are so

0:30:02 > 0:30:06overwhelmed with their workload. We asked you to get in touch with your

0:30:06 > 0:30:12experiences. Pam has sent this text, I'm due to return to work after

0:30:12 > 0:30:16eight months of struggling on maternity pay, I had to accept going

0:30:16 > 0:30:19back full-time otherwise I can't afford childcare. My work overtime

0:30:19 > 0:30:23to earn money and all my earnings will go on childcare. Some nights I

0:30:23 > 0:30:28won't be home to kiss my youngest good night. Such an awful thought.

0:30:28 > 0:30:35Thank you Pam. To shake your experiences, contact us.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Now you'll really love this.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55Scientists in the US are close to a major cancer breakthrough,

0:31:55 > 0:31:58after trials for a new universal blood test detected eight common

0:31:58 > 0:32:02forms of the disease.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Overall, the test found 70% of the cancers -

0:32:04 > 0:32:06but researchers are cautiously optmistic, saying more work

0:32:06 > 0:32:07is needed to verify its accuracy.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10Their vision is an annual test designed to catch cancer

0:32:10 > 0:32:12early and save lives.

0:32:12 > 0:32:17UK experts said it was "enormously exciting".

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Living conditions at Liverpool Prison are the worst that

0:32:19 > 0:32:22inspectors have ever seen, according to a new report.

0:32:22 > 0:32:30Inspectors say living conditions at the jail

0:32:42 > 0:32:44are the poorer than any other reports they have undertaken..

0:32:44 > 0:32:46However, Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service said it's

0:32:46 > 0:32:49already taken immediate action by appointing a new governor and

0:32:49 > 0:32:50that cleanliness has also improved.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57appearance.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Police found the children severely malnourished with some in shackles.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07The duration of adolescence is increasing - and now lasts

0:33:07 > 0:33:09from the age of 10 until 24, according to scientists.

0:35:15 > 0:35:1957-year-old David Turpin and his wife Louise, who is 49,

0:35:19 > 0:35:22were arrested on Sunday after one of their daughters escaped

0:35:22 > 0:35:25through a window from the squalid family home in the city of Perris

0:35:25 > 0:35:26and called the police.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Mr Turpin is further charged with sexually abusing one

0:35:28 > 0:35:33of his younger daughters.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Prosecutors say the parents tormented their starving children

0:35:35 > 0:35:37allowing them to look at apple and pumpkin pies

0:35:37 > 0:35:38but not to eat them.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41They were allegedly allowed to shower just once a year

0:35:41 > 0:35:44and if they were caught washing they were punished by beatings,

0:35:44 > 0:35:47strangulation and being chained to their beds.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50The siblings are said to be stunted and severely malnourished.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53The local district lawyer in Riverside County -

0:35:53 > 0:36:01Mike Hestrin - told reporters more about their condition.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08One of the children at age 12 is the weight

0:36:08 > 0:36:12of an average seven-year-old.

0:36:12 > 0:36:18The 29-year-old female victim weighs 82lb.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Several of the victims have cognitive impairment and neuropathy,

0:36:20 > 0:36:22which is nerve damage, as a result of this extreme

0:36:22 > 0:36:28and prolonged physical abuse.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Supposedly home-schooled, the children lacked even...

0:36:32 > 0:36:36They lack a basic knowledge of life.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40Many of the children didn't know what a police officer was.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44The 17-year-old, when asked if there was medication

0:36:44 > 0:36:46or pills in the home, didn't know what medication

0:36:46 > 0:36:49or pills were.

0:36:50 > 0:36:54About the only thing the children were allowed to do

0:36:54 > 0:36:56in their rooms or chained up was to write in journals.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59We now have recovered those journals, hundreds of them.

0:36:59 > 0:37:04And we are combing through them for evidence.

0:37:04 > 0:37:10All 13 of the victims, including the defendants,

0:37:10 > 0:37:14typically go to sleep around four or five in the morning,

0:37:14 > 0:37:17sleep all day and then be up all through the night.

0:37:21 > 0:37:27The victims report that as a punishment, starting many years

0:37:27 > 0:37:31ago, they began to be tied up.

0:37:31 > 0:37:35First with ropes.

0:37:35 > 0:37:40One victim at one point was tied up and hogtied,

0:37:40 > 0:37:46and then when that victim was able to escape the ropes,

0:37:46 > 0:37:49these defendants eventually began using chains and padlocks to chain

0:37:49 > 0:37:54up the victims to their beds.

0:37:54 > 0:38:00These punishments would last for weeks or even months at a time.

0:38:01 > 0:38:06The 17-year-old victim that escaped had been working on a plan

0:38:06 > 0:38:12with her siblings to escape this abuse for more than two years.

0:38:12 > 0:38:18She escaped through a window and took one of her siblings with her.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20That sibling eventually turned back, became frightened and turned back,

0:38:20 > 0:38:28and went back into the house.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31It's been infested with rats and cockroaches, and seriously ill

0:38:31 > 0:38:34prisoners are waiting days to be treated, we'll be asking how can

0:38:34 > 0:38:40Liverpool Prison turn itself around.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43Next - a taboo-smashing comedy featuring Bollywood superstar

0:38:43 > 0:38:47Akshay Kumar on a surprising theme.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51"Pad Man" is inspired by the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham -

0:38:51 > 0:38:54a school-drop out from a poor family in southern India who changed

0:38:54 > 0:38:57the lives of millions of women across the world by inventing

0:38:57 > 0:38:59a machine to make cheap sanitary pads.

0:38:59 > 0:39:07Let's have a look at a clip from the film's trailer.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30You're thinking I'm mad, but mad only becoming famous.

0:40:32 > 0:40:38Let's speak now to Pad Man producer Twinkle Khanna-

0:40:39 > 0:40:45A woman's activist and one of India's bestselling authors.

0:40:45 > 0:40:49And wife of the film's star Akshay Kumar, who plays Pad Man.

0:40:49 > 0:40:55How did you find out about the story?I was doing research on a

0:40:55 > 0:40:59column about menstruation. I write columns for the Times of India. I

0:40:59 > 0:41:04read about him and was completely fascinated. Here was a man from a

0:41:04 > 0:41:07very simple and Conservative village and he encountered a problem and

0:41:07 > 0:41:15realised that his wife was using unhygienic rags.Really unhygienic

0:41:15 > 0:41:22as well.A normal man would say, if I can't afford sanitary pads then I

0:41:22 > 0:41:28will earn more money to buy them for my wife. But Arunachalam

0:41:28 > 0:41:33Muruganantham is a very eccentric and idiosyncratic character. He

0:41:33 > 0:41:37decided to make a cheaper version. His wife got fed up of testing the

0:41:37 > 0:41:45pads for him. He got fed up of waiting month after month. He had to

0:41:45 > 0:41:49wait a month for each trial as well. No other woman was willing to test

0:41:49 > 0:41:56it out. He had a contraption with a pig's blather furled with pig 's

0:41:56 > 0:42:07blood. He went cycling around with this.He replicated having a period.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11It still leaked. The people in a village thought he was a pervert or

0:42:11 > 0:42:17hay had a sexual disease. He tells me that some people even thought he

0:42:17 > 0:42:24was a vampire secretly sucking blood from animals and people overnight.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28He was ostracised, but still made this sanitary pad.He lost

0:42:28 > 0:42:32everything, lost his wife, was ostracised from the village.Even

0:42:32 > 0:42:39his mother left him. He was abandoned completely. His sense of

0:42:39 > 0:42:44determination just pulled him through that period and he

0:42:44 > 0:42:49succeeded. And then his wife came back.That's good. Explain for

0:42:49 > 0:42:53people who are not familiar with the taboo and shame attached to having

0:42:53 > 0:43:00periods in India.I really don't think it's just about India. I think

0:43:00 > 0:43:04this is a problem that lots of women face globally. In India there are

0:43:04 > 0:43:09different taboo is. You can't touch a pickle, it will get spoiled. You

0:43:09 > 0:43:17can't go to temples because it's blasphemy. In the Western world,

0:43:17 > 0:43:20you'd take your handbag to the toilet come you don't just take a

0:43:20 > 0:43:24tampon or sanitary pad. There is still a shame that is prevalent.

0:43:24 > 0:43:28This August a 12-year-old girl was pulled up by her school teacher

0:43:28 > 0:43:32because she stained her uniform and the bench with menstrual blood. She

0:43:32 > 0:43:36went home and committed suicide by jumping off a balcony. That's the

0:43:36 > 0:43:40level of shame that this simple biological function brings about.

0:43:40 > 0:43:44The significance of this man's story and what sounds like a very simple

0:43:44 > 0:43:52and ingenious invention, that you make a cheap sanitary pad. Sanitary

0:43:52 > 0:43:58pads are very expensive and taxed at 12% in India.That is something I

0:43:58 > 0:44:07have been talking about repeatedly. Brooms do not have tax. Apparently

0:44:07 > 0:44:10in India is more important to keep your house clean and your body. I

0:44:10 > 0:44:16don't understand that. But to reiterate, it's not just India. In

0:44:16 > 0:44:22many states in America Viagra is tax-free, but tampons are taxed,

0:44:22 > 0:44:25because policies are made by six to five-year-old men with erectile

0:44:25 > 0:44:35dysfunction! -- with 65-year-old men.How odd was it to go out and

0:44:35 > 0:44:39make the film, how did you get the funding?Is surprising, but the

0:44:39 > 0:44:45biggest obstacle in making the movie was too convinced Arunachalam that I

0:44:45 > 0:44:49should be able to make it. He wasn't interested because he's not a man

0:44:49 > 0:44:53who wants to be famous or who is interested in money beyond the

0:44:53 > 0:45:02point. He lives a very simple life. When I was visiting his house, we

0:45:02 > 0:45:05sat on a flight eight off banana leaves. He was getting excited

0:45:05 > 0:45:10because he was getting bed for his daughter, the first bed in the

0:45:10 > 0:45:15household. His philosophy is very simple. We are a world of

0:45:15 > 0:45:18unnecessary consumers. If you are satisfied, and your chair is broken

0:45:18 > 0:45:22and you can just put a book and to balance, why not do that.So it

0:45:22 > 0:45:25wasn't difficult to go to a film company and make this into a huge

0:45:25 > 0:45:30feature film, and get the cash for somebody like Pad Man. It's talking

0:45:30 > 0:45:36about periods.

0:45:36 > 0:45:41I'd already written the story in my book. When we went for funding

0:45:41 > 0:45:45surprisingly we had no problem with it. The only problem while filming,

0:45:45 > 0:45:51we had two junior artists on the set, and on the second day of

0:45:51 > 0:45:57filming they felt sanitary pads and they ran away because they were

0:45:57 > 0:45:59mortified at holding menstrual product.How important was that to

0:45:59 > 0:46:04get your husband on board, a Bollywood superstar, because

0:46:04 > 0:46:09presumably then it will get more people to watch the film.Exactly,

0:46:09 > 0:46:14when I began I thought we'd make a small arthouse film. Then I realised

0:46:14 > 0:46:18the mission was to have as many people watching it, for it to go

0:46:18 > 0:46:22across households in India, and globally as well and if the Indian

0:46:22 > 0:46:26people see one of their idols holding a sanitary pad in his hand

0:46:26 > 0:46:29then half the taboos will be dispelled. I thought it was a good

0:46:29 > 0:46:34idea and it was much easier because he lives in the same house as me!

0:46:34 > 0:46:39You could annoy him until he said yes! How much is this about the

0:46:39 > 0:46:45message? It is a comedy. It is important to have fun and make sure

0:46:45 > 0:46:50this isn't just bridging at people. The unique part is that

0:46:50 > 0:46:54Muruganantham is very whimsical. His tackling serious problem but he

0:46:54 > 0:46:58doesn't take himself seriously. And we stayed true to that because in

0:46:58 > 0:47:03the film. The other thing we tried to do was make sure the message was

0:47:03 > 0:47:08clear that you can come to the movie with your children, and you should

0:47:08 > 0:47:10do, and with your grandmother because the grandmother is the one

0:47:10 > 0:47:15saying that the wife can't enter the kitchen and has to be segregated. So

0:47:15 > 0:47:19we came up the comicstrip. Again so that this child friendly. So we've

0:47:19 > 0:47:26been very clear with that messaging. How has it been received in India?

0:47:26 > 0:47:31We were very apprehensive before the trailer because we thought people

0:47:31 > 0:47:33would say, this is a movie about menstruation and we don't want to

0:47:33 > 0:47:38watch it. But the response has been overwhelming, it is the most watched

0:47:38 > 0:47:42trailer of any Indian film. People are interested. I think a lot of

0:47:42 > 0:47:47people will go to see it and will drag conservative family members to

0:47:47 > 0:47:59watch it.In the UK where will we be able to watch it?

0:47:59 > 0:48:01able to watch it?At the Odeon... Everywhere! A widespread release!

0:48:01 > 0:48:04Thank you so much for coming in, Twinkle.Thank you so much.

0:48:04 > 0:48:06Severely ill patients at Liverpool Prison are waiting days

0:48:06 > 0:48:11to be seen due to poor care and a lack of staff resulting

0:48:11 > 0:48:14in a "substantial clinical risk", according to an assessment of mental

0:48:14 > 0:48:17healthcare at the jail by a senior psychiatrist seen by BBC News.

0:48:17 > 0:48:19In a separate report, which is published today

0:48:19 > 0:48:21but was leaked to the BBC last month, inspectors say living

0:48:21 > 0:48:24conditions at the jail are the worst they've ever seen,

0:48:24 > 0:48:32with the prison infested with rats and cockroaches.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34Let's speak now to Mark Fairhurst, a prison officer at Liverpool Prison

0:48:34 > 0:48:40and chairman of the Prison Officers' Association.

0:48:40 > 0:48:42Conservative MP Bob Neill, who is Chairman of the Justice Committee.

0:48:42 > 0:48:49And Peter Clarke, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons.

0:48:49 > 0:48:54Let me make my way over to meet you all, gentlemen. Thank you so much

0:48:54 > 0:48:59for coming in. Peter, if I could start with you. For people who

0:48:59 > 0:49:03didn't see the report that was leaked to the BBC last month, give

0:49:03 > 0:49:10us a sense of what was found at Liverpool Prison.The team of

0:49:10 > 0:49:13inspectors who went to Liverpool were very experienced, between them

0:49:13 > 0:49:17they have been to hundreds of prisoners over the years. And they

0:49:17 > 0:49:20found conditions they describe as the worst they could ever remember.

0:49:20 > 0:49:25What we had were prison cells that were dirty and damp, hundreds of

0:49:25 > 0:49:33windows were broken. Lavatories were blocked, sinks were leaking, there

0:49:33 > 0:49:36were piles of letter in which they saw rats running around and

0:49:36 > 0:49:41cockroaches were photographed on the floors. And the letter. I remember

0:49:41 > 0:49:44asking a senior member of staff, pointing it out and asking what is

0:49:44 > 0:49:49this about, why haven't you cleaned it up. He says, it's got so bad that

0:49:49 > 0:49:54we can't use prison orderlies to clean it up because it's a health

0:49:54 > 0:49:58and safety issues we need external contractors to do it. I said, you

0:49:58 > 0:50:02are telling me that you've allowed this prison to become too dirty to

0:50:02 > 0:50:06be cleaned. Extraordinary. And that is part of what sits behind our

0:50:06 > 0:50:15report.I want to bring you in as well, Mark. You are a prison officer

0:50:15 > 0:50:22at Liverpool prison. Just explain how bad things are on a day to day

0:50:22 > 0:50:27basis, to work there, and for the inmates?It is quite sad that we

0:50:27 > 0:50:30have to rely on achieving spectre reporting things that have been

0:50:30 > 0:50:35going on for some time, that management and staff have reported

0:50:35 > 0:50:39to the prison service directors. And they've taken no action. Most of

0:50:39 > 0:50:45this report, and there's a theme in Mr Peter's inspectors reports

0:50:45 > 0:50:49throughout the country, they state that prisons are dilapidated. That

0:50:49 > 0:50:52is down to the private sector contractor in charge of maintenance,

0:50:52 > 0:50:57who is clearly not fit for purpose, not doing their job. It takes less

0:50:57 > 0:51:01than one hour to repair a broken window, yet prisoners are getting

0:51:01 > 0:51:07put in prison cells not fit for human habitation. The governor of

0:51:07 > 0:51:15Liverpool has notified this for some time but he has got the answer, it's

0:51:15 > 0:51:19a space, it's a bed, you are getting a body. I feel he has been made a

0:51:19 > 0:51:23scapegoat. Things are improving. I was there on Boxing Day. It is a lot

0:51:23 > 0:51:28cleaner and stuff for implementing an improved regime.Just explain the

0:51:28 > 0:51:33impact on the behaviour of inmates, to live in an environment like that.

0:51:33 > 0:51:38Because we hear so often about prison officers feeling under

0:51:38 > 0:51:42pressure and it's a difficult environment to work in any way.

0:51:42 > 0:51:47Added to this, how challenging is and for all of you?You have to

0:51:47 > 0:51:53understand that we are staff. We don't want to put a prisoner in a

0:51:53 > 0:51:56cell that we think is not fit for habitation. But when you are forced

0:51:56 > 0:52:00to buy the hierarchy you have to put them in a cell. That leads to

0:52:00 > 0:52:04frustration is because anybody with a broken sink or blocked toilet and

0:52:04 > 0:52:07waiting months for that repair to get done, they bear the brunt of the

0:52:07 > 0:52:11frustration. The stuff in the front line take the flak for something

0:52:11 > 0:52:17that isn't their fault. And this is down to private contractors. We need

0:52:17 > 0:52:21those services. As Carillion Proops, get them back in the public sector

0:52:21 > 0:52:26and get them back now. They are not fit for purpose. They are causing

0:52:26 > 0:52:33stability issues in our prisons. Bob, do you acknowledge that is the

0:52:33 > 0:52:38problem?No, there are some very well maintained private sector

0:52:38 > 0:52:41prisons and some badly maintained public sector ones. Where Mark is

0:52:41 > 0:52:45right is that there are systemic failures because the people on the

0:52:45 > 0:52:48ground were not being supported by the regional and national leadership

0:52:48 > 0:52:53of the prison service. That's why we have some and a director of the

0:52:53 > 0:52:55prison service and the top management to explain it away. The

0:52:55 > 0:52:59first time we've ever done that in respect of an individual prison

0:52:59 > 0:53:06report, that is because it

0:53:10 > 0:53:11report, that is because it was so bad, it is a systemic failure and

0:53:11 > 0:53:14that is when we need answers.So what needs to change? I am

0:53:14 > 0:53:16interested in all your points of view. Peter?You would expect me to

0:53:16 > 0:53:19say this but I would like to see inspection reports taken more

0:53:19 > 0:53:21seriously than they have been in recent years.So they forced to do

0:53:21 > 0:53:26what you recommend in the report? They should taken seriously. It is

0:53:26 > 0:53:30clear that in recent years there's been a steady decline in the number

0:53:30 > 0:53:34of our recommendations taken seriously. If we take the urgent

0:53:34 > 0:53:38notification that I made yesterday about Nottingham prison, where we

0:53:38 > 0:53:44found it to be fundamentally unsafe, on the last inspection two years ago

0:53:44 > 0:53:47we made 13 recommendations specifically about safety, and when

0:53:47 > 0:53:52we inspected last week we found only two of those had been achieved.

0:53:52 > 0:53:56That's sort of ignoring, I have to put it that way because it feels as

0:53:56 > 0:54:01of our reports are being ignored, that sort of ignoring will

0:54:01 > 0:54:07inevitably lead to a decline in standards.Bob, you are a

0:54:07 > 0:54:11Conservative MP, is your government ignoring what Peter Clarke is saying

0:54:11 > 0:54:18in these reports.Any ignoring is happening on the part of the prison

0:54:18 > 0:54:29service, that is something that we intend to raise, the government was

0:54:29 > 0:54:36proposing to make it a statutory obligation, I'd like to see it

0:54:36 > 0:54:39again, that sadly was lost in the dissolution of parliament, we need

0:54:39 > 0:54:46to return to that and we need to increase pressure on that and make

0:54:46 > 0:54:50sure top civil servants are up to the job and if they are not

0:54:50 > 0:54:54supporting people on the front line that won't leave the safe and decent

0:54:54 > 0:55:04environment which is the obligation we need.Mark, I want you to read a

0:55:04 > 0:55:08statement we've had from the trust in charge of health care at

0:55:08 > 0:55:13Liverpool prison. They said they put huge amounts into trying to improve

0:55:13 > 0:55:16services but they say they haven't seen the improvements they would

0:55:16 > 0:55:20have rights they sorry about that. This in the prison has hired a

0:55:20 > 0:55:26significant number of new officers and the prison is now fully staffed.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29They say urgent steps are being taken to look into the running of

0:55:29 > 0:55:36health care services in prison.It's being subjected to a bid process

0:55:36 > 0:55:39because the Lancashire authorities don't want it any more. We don't

0:55:39 > 0:55:44know who will win the bid yet. What has happened at Liverpool is what we

0:55:44 > 0:55:48want for all prisons, we want investment from the government to

0:55:48 > 0:55:52improve living conditions for prisoners and for staff the working

0:55:52 > 0:55:56conditions, is going to be a long overdue process. We just one senior

0:55:56 > 0:56:00managers in the prison service to listen to staff and management and

0:56:00 > 0:56:05prisons that are experiencing difficulties. We want safe prisons

0:56:05 > 0:56:09and decent living conditions for prisoners and decent working

0:56:09 > 0:56:13conditions for staff. Staff have the right to work in a safe environment

0:56:13 > 0:56:17and prisoners have the right to live in a safe environment and we want

0:56:17 > 0:56:22that decency agenda full on with the investment and resources in place.

0:56:22 > 0:56:24Gentlemen, thank you so

0:56:24 > 0:56:33much for coming to speech to us. A lot of you have been getting in

0:56:33 > 0:56:38touch about the movie Pad Man, which is set in India and is talking about

0:56:38 > 0:56:45periods, it hugely taboo subject. One tweet says, I loved too talking

0:56:45 > 0:56:50about Pad Man. Martha says I'm so proud to see Twinkle grazing a

0:56:50 > 0:56:56programme to talk about Pad Man, Bollywood is taking the world by

0:56:56 > 0:57:00storm. Twinkle is the producer of the movie Pad Man, who came in to

0:57:00 > 0:57:05talk to us about it. Keep your messages coming in. A simple blood

0:57:05 > 0:57:10test to diagnose cancer is being hailed as a major breakthrough.

0:57:10 > 0:57:15We'll have more details shortly. First the weather with Simon.

0:57:15 > 0:57:21We'll have more details shortly. First the weather with Simon.

0:57:21 > 0:57:25Another wintry start across the north of the UK, and in Scotland, in

0:57:25 > 0:57:29the Highlands, a lot of snowfall, look at this, real snow day, the

0:57:29 > 0:57:33roads around Glasgow looking pretty treacherous, it will continue with

0:57:33 > 0:57:38snow showers moving in, particularly across the West of Scotland,

0:57:38 > 0:57:41Northern Ireland, even across north-west England snow showers of a

0:57:41 > 0:57:47higher ground. One or two rain showers as well, as we go through

0:57:47 > 0:57:50the day, particularly south-west Scotland, we could see travel

0:57:50 > 0:57:56disruption because of heavy snow and also ice. The Met Office has is it

0:57:56 > 0:57:59an amber warning, be prepared, south of Glasgow towards Dumfries and

0:57:59 > 0:58:03Galloway because of their heavy snow, eagerly towards the north and

0:58:03 > 0:58:08west of Scotland, snow showers in Northern Ireland and the north-west,

0:58:08 > 0:58:12first the 70s looking dry and bright. At three o'clock we could

0:58:12 > 0:58:17see between ten and 15 centimetres, more perhaps on higher ground, less

0:58:17 > 0:58:21than that lower levels, enough to cause disruption. Some wintry

0:58:21 > 0:58:26showers into the Pennines, North Wales, the South might see a bit of

0:58:26 > 0:58:30sleet, maybe some hail developing in South Wales and south-west England,

0:58:54 > 0:58:58Scotland, and other night more wintry showers. Rain spreading into

0:58:58 > 0:59:02South Wales and southern England by Saturday morning. Some snow over the

0:59:02 > 0:59:07Brecon Beacons, clearer skies to the north and east mean it will be a

0:59:07 > 0:59:12cold and icy night. Saturday morning a bit of snow of the Chilterns and

0:59:12 > 0:59:18the Cotswolds, although that should clear away and for many of us it's

0:59:18 > 0:59:23dry on Saturday, dryer towards the north and east of the UK. As we go

0:59:23 > 0:59:26through Saturday into Sunday, a very different sort of day for most of

0:59:26 > 0:59:30us, this weather front pushing in will bring some heavy rain for a

1:01:25 > 1:01:27The method - known as "Cancer Seek" -

1:01:27 > 1:01:33detects eight common forms of the disease.

1:01:33 > 1:01:35Overall the research found 70% of cancers.

1:01:35 > 1:01:37Researchers are cautiously optmistic, saying more work

1:01:37 > 1:01:38is needed to verify its accuracy.

1:01:38 > 1:01:41UK experts said it was "enormously exciting".

1:01:41 > 1:01:43Living conditions at Liverpool Prison are the worst that

1:01:43 > 1:01:51inspectors have ever seen, according to a new report.

1:02:15 > 1:02:17They found filthy cells and inmates living among infestations

1:03:42 > 1:03:44Writing in the Lancet Health Journal, the researchers argue

1:04:16 > 1:04:19That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10:30am.

1:04:19 > 1:04:26Here's some sport now with Olly Foster.

1:04:26 > 1:04:30The British number two Kyle Edmund is into the fourth round of the

1:04:30 > 1:04:33Australian open after beating the Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili in

1:04:33 > 1:04:38five sets. He won the first set, but Edmund lost that next to a Mac, he

1:04:38 > 1:04:44had to dig very deep to see out the mat. It's the second five set match

1:04:44 > 1:04:48of the tournament. It's only the second time that Edmund has got this

1:04:48 > 1:04:53fight in a grandson. He reached the US open fourth round a couple of

1:04:53 > 1:04:57years ago. Temperatures have hit 40 degrees for the second day running.

1:04:57 > 1:04:59Lots of players have been complaining and saying that play

1:04:59 > 1:05:06should be stopped. Organisers haven't done that but they say they

1:05:06 > 1:05:11will review their heat policy at the end of the tournament.It's a tough

1:05:11 > 1:05:15one. Its professional sport, it's meant to hurt, it's not meant to be

1:05:15 > 1:05:22easy. But I guess, yeah, if people start to become ill then it might be

1:05:22 > 1:05:26a concern but as far as I am aware, everyone is just getting through.

1:05:26 > 1:05:32Roger Federer has given his backing to an increase in prize money at the

1:05:32 > 1:05:37grand slams. Novak Djokovic, as president of the players Council, a

1:05:37 > 1:05:42few days ago called a meeting before the tournament. He is unhappy that

1:05:42 > 1:05:49the major tournaments pass on only about 7% of their income to players.

1:05:49 > 1:05:52We are not partners, we are just players. So it's always hard to

1:05:52 > 1:05:58rally. We had a good agreement, in my opinion, that made the grand

1:05:58 > 1:06:03slams happy, the players pretty happy. It seems that has run its

1:06:03 > 1:06:09course. The moment that happens, there isn't the same increases any

1:06:09 > 1:06:12more so players have to rally and get back together again and put in

1:06:12 > 1:06:16the effort. The tournaments know that and will only react when we do

1:06:16 > 1:06:20so. We are ready to do it and it will be the same process over and

1:06:20 > 1:06:24over against about England's cricketers are chasing 271 in

1:06:24 > 1:06:28Brisbane to take a 2-0 series lead in the one-day series against

1:06:28 > 1:06:35Australia. Australia made 270-9 after winning the toss. Aaron Finch

1:06:35 > 1:06:40made a century, that's his second in two matches.But they could get a

1:06:40 > 1:06:45partnership going. There were a couple of wickets each for Adil

1:06:45 > 1:06:50Rashid and Joe Root. Jason Roy made a record 180 in the first 1-dayer,

1:06:50 > 1:06:54but he was out just in the first over of the England reply, caught

1:06:54 > 1:06:58out by Aaron Finch off the bowling of Mitchell Starc. Alex Hales and

1:06:58 > 1:07:03Jonny Bairstow then try to outdo each other, racing to 50 each. Joe

1:07:03 > 1:07:08Root and Jos Buttler at the crease at the moment, England 194-4 and on

1:07:08 > 1:07:17course for victory. Ross Fisher is now leading the

1:07:17 > 1:07:23now leading the -- now the leading Briton at the Abu Dhabi golf

1:07:23 > 1:07:28championship. Tommy Fleetwood has fallen off the pace. Fisher shot a

1:07:28 > 1:07:32round of 67 for the second day in a row to move to ten under. That's two

1:07:32 > 1:07:38shots off the lead. Perfect distance from the outset on the course. Ryder

1:07:38 > 1:07:41Cup star Thomas Pieters took advantage, hitting some sensational

1:07:41 > 1:07:50shots in a round of 65 which put him one clear at the top of

1:07:50 > 1:07:52one clear at the top of the the leaderboard. Fleetwood is five shots

1:07:52 > 1:07:54off the pace.

1:07:54 > 1:07:57Scientists have taken a step towards one of the biggest goals in medicine

1:07:57 > 1:07:59- a universal blood test for cancer.

1:07:59 > 1:08:02Scientists at Johns Hopkins University in the US have developed

1:08:02 > 1:08:04a test that screens for common forms of the disease.

1:08:04 > 1:08:06It was tested on eight types of cancer including ovarian,

1:08:06 > 1:08:07pancreatic and lung.

1:08:07 > 1:08:10The study was of 1,005 patients who were known to have cancer.

1:08:10 > 1:08:12The test correctly diagnosed 7 in 10 cases.

1:08:12 > 1:08:15So just how significant is this and what hope does it offer?

1:08:15 > 1:08:18Let's talk to Professor Sam Janes, who leads on lung cancer at

1:08:18 > 1:08:20University College London Hospital, and Jane Murphy who is

1:08:20 > 1:08:27a Clinical Nurse Specialist at the charity Breast Cancer Care.

1:08:27 > 1:08:33Thanks for coming in. How excited should we be by this?I think this

1:08:33 > 1:08:38is a really exciting breakthrough. If you imagine, the big problem with

1:08:38 > 1:08:43cancer is that it can often grow inside our bodies. And actually

1:08:43 > 1:08:47spread around our bodies before we even realise we have it. We have no

1:08:47 > 1:08:51symptoms, and eventually something feels wrong and we might go to the

1:08:51 > 1:08:55GP or a hospital doctor and they tell us we have cancer, but

1:08:55 > 1:09:01unfortunately it has spread. We have relatively limited treatments. It

1:09:01 > 1:09:04might help us live longer and improve our quality of life, but it

1:09:04 > 1:09:10will not cure us. The big vision for scientists now is that we diagnose

1:09:10 > 1:09:16cancer early. So even when we are without symptoms and don't know we

1:09:16 > 1:09:21have it. This test is a significant step in that direction.What does

1:09:21 > 1:09:27the tests do in simple terms?The test is very clever, it's almost

1:09:27 > 1:09:32like a blood biopsy, a liquid biopsy. You go and have a blood

1:09:32 > 1:09:36test, and what the test is looking for is signs of cancer somewhere in

1:09:36 > 1:09:43the body. When a cancer grows, the cells of the cancer also sometimes

1:09:43 > 1:09:47break up a bit. What they do when they break up is release little bits

1:09:47 > 1:09:54of DNA or protein into the blood. With the blood test, what we are

1:09:54 > 1:09:59aiming to do is find that abnormal protein, or abnormal DNA that has

1:09:59 > 1:10:02come from cancer and is not our normal DNA that floats around in our

1:10:02 > 1:10:14blood all the time.Bringing in Jamie Murphy... --

1:10:14 > 1:10:18Jamie Murphy... -- Jane Murphy. Are you excited about this?We are

1:10:18 > 1:10:22always excited to hear of any test or development that could lead to

1:10:22 > 1:10:27the earlier detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. It's something

1:10:27 > 1:10:33that we will be interested to hear more about. We know how early this

1:10:33 > 1:10:36is, but it has a lot of potential that we are interested to hear more

1:10:36 > 1:10:48about.The worry is always giving false hope to people stop your.

1:10:48 > 1:10:57There is still a long way to go. This was done in people who already

1:10:57 > 1:11:01had cancer, not healthy individuals. We are a long way of knowing more

1:11:01 > 1:11:05about this and before it will be routinely applied to the population.

1:11:05 > 1:11:09With breast cancer we have the screening programme already in

1:11:09 > 1:11:15place. That's one way of detecting and picking up cancers early. We

1:11:15 > 1:11:18speak to lots of women on the helpline who are worried about how

1:11:18 > 1:11:26to check themselves and the breast aware. It's something that can aid

1:11:26 > 1:11:29in early diagnosis and detection, and that's interesting. But it is

1:11:29 > 1:11:35very early days.In terms of studies, a thousand people, all of

1:11:35 > 1:11:40them had cancer, and it detected seven in ten cases. Is that

1:11:40 > 1:11:46particularly good? Compare to other studies, is that impressive?The

1:11:46 > 1:11:53study itself it's very impressive. This blood biopsy has worked better

1:11:53 > 1:11:59than previous studies that have been done. I think, as has been raised,

1:11:59 > 1:12:03the real challenge now, those thousand people were already

1:12:03 > 1:12:08patients that we knew had cancer because they had symptoms or because

1:12:08 > 1:12:13they were detected some other way. The real challenge now is whether we

1:12:13 > 1:12:18can screen people in the community, use it as the new screening test of

1:12:18 > 1:12:22the future. That's going to be a real challenge and that is some way

1:12:22 > 1:12:27away. We need large studies to show that's worthwhile.When we save some

1:12:27 > 1:12:32way away, are we talking many years? I think the investigators of the

1:12:32 > 1:12:37study that has been published have already got a study like that

1:12:37 > 1:12:42planned. There are other major studies planned that will look at

1:12:42 > 1:12:46screening populations to see if these blood tests work.Jane, would

1:12:46 > 1:12:51you like to see this almost become like a mammogram or something like

1:12:51 > 1:12:59that, it becomes a stable part of health protection in the future?I

1:12:59 > 1:13:03think it has that potential. But I think it's still a bit too early to

1:13:03 > 1:13:06see exactly how it will work with the current screening programme and

1:13:06 > 1:13:12how it will complement that. There will be different approaches, the

1:13:12 > 1:13:17mammogram, ultrasound and blood test. The more information we can

1:13:17 > 1:13:21get earlier on, it leads to better and more effective treatments. Often

1:13:21 > 1:13:26less treatment is needed for breast cancer in the earlier stages. So

1:13:26 > 1:13:30yes, it could potentially be part of a screening programme but quite how

1:13:30 > 1:13:35it would look in the future, I think it's a bit too early to say at the

1:13:35 > 1:13:44moment.Presumably this is a relatively quick thing?Yes, it's a

1:13:44 > 1:13:49blood test, it has to get sent off to a laboratory somewhere. That

1:13:49 > 1:13:52laboratory presumably takes a couple of weeks or so to run the test.

1:13:52 > 1:13:57Actually there is quite a lot of biological information that needs to

1:13:57 > 1:14:02be extracted from the results before you get those results. I would

1:14:02 > 1:14:06stress at this point that it's not commercially available. It's

1:14:06 > 1:14:10something the US team hope to commercialise but we will have to

1:14:10 > 1:14:14wait and see exactly what it looks like and exactly in what way they

1:14:14 > 1:14:21believe it should be used.Thank you for coming on to explain to us.

1:14:23 > 1:14:26This weekend will mark a year since Donald Trump was sworn

1:14:26 > 1:14:30in as America's 45th President.

1:14:30 > 1:14:35He has made his mark in what has been an incredibly eventful year. He

1:14:35 > 1:14:43has been accused of being incompetent and racist.

1:14:48 > 1:14:50Yet unemployment in the States is at a 17 year low.

1:14:50 > 1:14:53So how has America changed in the last 12 months -

1:14:53 > 1:14:56with Donald Trump as its leader?

1:14:56 > 1:14:58I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that

1:14:58 > 1:15:01I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States.

1:15:01 > 1:15:03Congratulations, Mr President.

1:15:03 > 1:15:08No politician in history has been treated worse or more unfairly.

1:15:08 > 1:15:12We need strong programmes.

1:15:12 > 1:15:17So that people that love us and want to love our country

1:15:17 > 1:15:20and will end up loving our country are allowed in.

1:15:20 > 1:15:28Not people that want to destroy us and destroy our country.

1:15:30 > 1:15:34I can often tell how I get along with somebody very early,

1:15:34 > 1:15:37and I believe we're going to have a fantastic relationship.

1:15:37 > 1:15:39We'll just let Obamacare fail.

1:15:39 > 1:15:41We're not going to own it.

1:15:41 > 1:15:43I'm not going to own it.

1:15:43 > 1:15:46I can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it.

1:15:46 > 1:15:51We'll let Obamacare fail, and then Democrats are going to come to us,

1:15:51 > 1:15:55and they are going to say, how do we fix it, how do we fix it?

1:15:55 > 1:15:58I am not going to give you a question.

1:15:58 > 1:15:58Can you state categorically...

1:15:58 > 1:16:00You are fake news.

1:16:00 > 1:16:03More than anything, I just think it was in the best interest

1:16:03 > 1:16:06of our communications department, of our press organisation,

1:16:06 > 1:16:10to not have too many cooks in the kitchen.

1:16:10 > 1:16:18It's heartbreaking.

1:16:18 > 1:16:23That they won't let me be an officer.

1:16:23 > 1:16:27The United States stands prepared to defend itself and its allies

1:16:27 > 1:16:30using the full range of our unmatched military

1:16:30 > 1:16:37capabilities if need be.

1:16:37 > 1:16:40There are a lot of issues that need to be talked about,

1:16:40 > 1:16:44need to be brought to life.

1:16:44 > 1:16:48Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody

1:16:48 > 1:16:51disrespects our flag to say get that son of a (BLEEP) off

1:16:51 > 1:16:52the field right now?

1:16:52 > 1:16:57Out! He's fired!

1:16:57 > 1:17:01It's the largest, I always say the most massive,

1:17:01 > 1:17:04but it's the largest tax cut in the history of our country.

1:17:04 > 1:17:08I consider it a work of fiction, but just so you know,

1:17:08 > 1:17:10I never interviewed with him in the White House at all.

1:17:10 > 1:17:13He was never in the Oval Office.

1:17:13 > 1:17:13We didn't have an interview.

1:17:13 > 1:17:15I never questioned his mental fitness.

1:17:15 > 1:17:20I have no reason to question his mental fitness.

1:17:20 > 1:17:24The first goal is, we want Trump to apologise.

1:17:24 > 1:17:28We deserve an apology for his comment.

1:17:28 > 1:17:31I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed.

1:17:31 > 1:17:36The Russia story is a total fabrication.

1:17:36 > 1:17:39It's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American

1:17:39 > 1:17:42politics, that's all it is.

1:17:51 > 1:17:58Let's speak now to Alana Horowitz,

1:17:58 > 1:18:02who is Senior Editor of Breaking News, HuffPost and to

1:18:02 > 1:18:04Professor Inderjeet Parmar, Professor in International

1:18:04 > 1:18:06Politics School of Arts and Social Sciences City,

1:18:06 > 1:18:11University of London.

1:18:11 > 1:18:16Thank you both for joining us. Alana, from a journalistic point of

1:18:16 > 1:18:23view,how do you view Donald Trump's first year in office?It has been a

1:18:23 > 1:18:27year of unprecedented actions on his part. There are so many things, we

1:18:27 > 1:18:33knew going into this that this would not be like covering Bush, Clinton,

1:18:33 > 1:18:37Balmer, any other president because he shatters every norm. But we did

1:18:37 > 1:18:43not realise how much, how many norms he would shudder. He's gone above

1:18:43 > 1:18:49and beyond in attacking the press, levels resembling those of Nixon,

1:18:49 > 1:18:52from my perspective that has been a major issue. It has also been

1:18:52 > 1:19:03interesting to watch his presidency in line with Russia and Korea,

1:19:03 > 1:19:08decisions he has made has that inquiry has progressed.Professor

1:19:08 > 1:19:12Palmer, how would you break down his first year, primarily successful or

1:19:12 > 1:19:19unsuccessful?I think success and failure are to be seen depending on

1:19:19 > 1:19:24which constituencies someone belongs to. You could say either that it's

1:19:24 > 1:19:28been a success if you happen to belong to the corporate community

1:19:28 > 1:19:33and your own large numbers of stocks and shares, so the Dow Jones index

1:19:33 > 1:19:39has broken records, so the airspace and military have broken all records

1:19:39 > 1:19:42as well and if you are in a big corporation and you earn a large

1:19:42 > 1:19:48amount of money and you have wealth, then the tax reforms will count for

1:19:48 > 1:19:55a great deal, and you will be free of regulation. And you can drill and

1:19:55 > 1:19:59dump as much pollution in rivers. And if you happen to belong to

1:19:59 > 1:20:05people in the middle class of the working class, to whom the president

1:20:05 > 1:20:09promised that he would kind of restore their position and their

1:20:09 > 1:20:14prospects, I think the position is much bleaker. And that is shown in

1:20:14 > 1:20:18the low levels of approval and the very high levels of disapproval of

1:20:18 > 1:20:25his administration among ordinary voters. Although he is pretty

1:20:25 > 1:20:31popular with Republican voters. Alana he is popular with his base

1:20:31 > 1:20:35but as the professor says, really low approval ratings for president.

1:20:35 > 1:20:41Yet the best economy in 17 years, lowest unemployment?That's another

1:20:41 > 1:20:46way in which his presidency is unprecedented. People take economic

1:20:46 > 1:20:51wins, the high stock market, low unemployment and they see that as a

1:20:51 > 1:20:55sign of a successful presidency. Whether it is deserved is up for

1:20:55 > 1:20:59debate. That tends to be linked. The fact that he has such a great

1:20:59 > 1:21:05economy and low approval rate and his approval ratings are so low it

1:21:05 > 1:21:11proves how devious if he is. It is a sign of that. This is really peaked

1:21:11 > 1:21:17with the number of people divided, and among the people who don't

1:21:17 > 1:21:22support him he is very unpopular. Any evidence, Professor Palmer,

1:21:22 > 1:21:28about the divided state? We hear this a lot, that the United States

1:21:28 > 1:21:32is more divided than ever.That's right, there's a great deal of

1:21:32 > 1:21:36polarisation around the presidency and he's been organising it. He

1:21:36 > 1:21:40basically decided during the campaign and thereafter to buck the

1:21:40 > 1:21:43trend that the Republicans had thought was going to govern the

1:21:43 > 1:21:47electoral strategies. They thought they would have to court minority

1:21:47 > 1:21:52voters. He decided he didn't want to do that. He is remaking American

1:21:52 > 1:21:57identity. When he talks about Muslims or refugees of foreigners or

1:21:57 > 1:22:02immigrants, and Mexicans and last week Africans, and say he prefers

1:22:02 > 1:22:08Norwegians, when you hear him talking about anti-fascists in

1:22:08 > 1:22:13Charlottesville, saying that the white supremacists are the

1:22:13 > 1:22:17equivalent thereof, I think we can see that this president is a white

1:22:17 > 1:22:21supremacist. He claims to be the leader of the world. That is what is

1:22:21 > 1:22:26polarising opinion at home and also internationally, the Gallup poll

1:22:26 > 1:22:32released shows that the approval of America around the world has

1:22:32 > 1:22:37collapsed from around 48% to around 30%, and now Germany is now the most

1:22:37 > 1:22:42approved of country in the world. So today there's polarisation, at home

1:22:42 > 1:22:49and abroad, around this president. Alana let's pick up on the standing

1:22:49 > 1:22:53of the US in the world and how that's changed. If we look at the

1:22:53 > 1:22:58Twitter spats with North Korea, disparaging terms used about certain

1:22:58 > 1:23:01countries, recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, yet there are

1:23:01 > 1:23:07parts of the world that support him early on. Earlier we heard from one

1:23:07 > 1:23:11Republican who said South Korea was very pleased with his intervention.

1:23:11 > 1:23:16One of the few parts of the world where the leaders are much closer

1:23:16 > 1:23:22with Trump because of his strong stance on North Korea. But I think

1:23:22 > 1:23:25overall, globally, both in terms of the officials and in terms of

1:23:25 > 1:23:30regular ordinary citizens, he's obviously very unpopular. A Gallup

1:23:30 > 1:23:37poll you have just mentioned, the role of US leadership has collapsed

1:23:37 > 1:23:42and it's not just his Twitter spats, its decision to pull out of the

1:23:42 > 1:23:45Paris club at agreement, Syria is part of that, although the US isn't

1:23:45 > 1:23:50going to be part of that, his decision to withdraw from the TPB,

1:23:50 > 1:23:55his attacks on laughter. He is really pursuing an America First

1:23:55 > 1:24:01agenda. And if you are not part of America that is an insult, in a way.

1:24:01 > 1:24:06Professor, before we let you go, the impact of the Russia inquiry on the

1:24:06 > 1:24:12first year of president Trump, how damaging has that been, not to his

1:24:12 > 1:24:18core vote but to

1:24:18 > 1:24:22core vote but to wider public across America.Two things. Those who

1:24:22 > 1:24:26oppose him say he has colluded and so forth. You would expect them to

1:24:26 > 1:24:30say that, and his supporters say they don't believe it. They even say

1:24:30 > 1:24:33that if there is evidence coming forward with major collision in the

1:24:33 > 1:24:38election they will not believe it. The other thing is that the whole

1:24:38 > 1:24:41saga of the Russia probes and all the various investigations, in

1:24:41 > 1:24:46effect is a Washington drama. For most ordinary American people who

1:24:46 > 1:24:51voted either for Bernie Sanders all for the so-called more progressive

1:24:51 > 1:24:55Hillary Clinton and also for Donald Trump they expect the next president

1:24:55 > 1:24:58to deliver the White House to the people. They wanted their problems

1:24:58 > 1:25:02to be number one on the agenda of American politics and government.

1:25:02 > 1:25:07They haven't seen that. So the alienation which got Trump into the

1:25:07 > 1:25:11White House in the first place, which got 13 million votes for

1:25:11 > 1:25:16socialist candidate in the body of Bernie Sanders, all those problems

1:25:16 > 1:25:23remain. The Democratic party deeply unpopular. Republican leadership,

1:25:23 > 1:25:26generally speaking, deeply unpopular, even less popular than

1:25:26 > 1:25:34Trump. They see it as as usual. He's carried on the government of a

1:25:34 > 1:25:37hard-core conservative Republican character at home, and most ordinary

1:25:37 > 1:25:41people don't see any real benefits of anything other than bleakness for

1:25:41 > 1:25:47the future in the next figures. Professor Palmer, thank you, thank

1:25:47 > 1:25:50you also Alana.

1:25:50 > 1:25:58The inquest into the death of The Cranberries singer,

1:26:02 > 1:26:08David Sillitoe is that the coroner 's Court. What have you heard.

1:26:08 > 1:26:12It was revealed that she had been found unresponsive in her hotel room

1:26:12 > 1:26:18on Monday, the Ambulance Service was called and she was declared dead at

1:26:18 > 1:26:22the scene, the police were called and said the death was treated as

1:26:22 > 1:26:26not suspicious. And above tests have been carried out but the results of

1:26:26 > 1:26:32those will not be known for several weeks to come. The inquest was

1:26:32 > 1:26:35opened and will be adjourned again until another hearing on April

1:26:35 > 1:26:41three. David, thank you.

1:26:41 > 1:26:43An appeal has been made for construction companies to offer

1:26:43 > 1:26:45training to hundreds of apprentices affected by the collapse

1:26:45 > 1:26:47of Carillion.

1:26:47 > 1:26:51The firm went into liquidation earlier this week, threatening

1:26:51 > 1:26:53the future of 1,400 apprentices, including trainee bricklayers,

1:26:53 > 1:26:55carpenters and joiners.

1:26:55 > 1:26:59With me in the studio is Sarah Beale, chief executive

1:26:59 > 1:27:01at the Construction Industry Training Board, and Charlie

1:27:01 > 1:27:09Williams, a Carillion apprentice, who joins us from Maidstone.

1:27:10 > 1:27:16Thank you both for coming in. Sarah, first explain what you hope to do.

1:27:16 > 1:27:21As the industry training board for construction we run one of the

1:27:21 > 1:27:24largest providers of apprenticeships for construction. From Monday

1:27:24 > 1:27:29morning when we heard about Carillion's position we put together

1:27:29 > 1:27:36a project teams that we could contact every single one of those

1:27:36 > 1:27:40young people impacted, which we have been able to do. We want to meet

1:27:40 > 1:27:44every them of face-to-face. By the close of play we will have met 900

1:27:44 > 1:27:49of those individuals face by face and really understood that

1:27:49 > 1:27:52individual circumstances. From then on we can place them with a training

1:27:52 > 1:27:56provider so they can complete their apprenticeship and their full

1:27:56 > 1:27:59training and we're looking for employers to come forward so they

1:27:59 > 1:28:02have employment and throughout that apprenticeship and thereafter so

1:28:02 > 1:28:08that they can join the construction industry.Charlie, you were on a

1:28:08 > 1:28:12Carillion apprenticeship.That's right.What were you doing, how did

1:28:12 > 1:28:19you find out what was going on.I was doing a Coventry apprenticeship.

1:28:19 > 1:28:26My on site assessor called, and all he said was that the end was nigh.

1:28:26 > 1:28:32Carillion trading had ceased. And that we would have to pack up within

1:28:32 > 1:28:38two weeks.You must have been gutted.Not really. I was in a state

1:28:38 > 1:28:44of shock, not severe shock but it did call into question whether the

1:28:44 > 1:28:49last year and a half, two years of my life had been for nothing. And I

1:28:49 > 1:28:51would not have gained the qualification I had been working

1:28:51 > 1:28:57for.So you have been doing this for two years.One and a half to two

1:28:57 > 1:29:03years.Do you know what is going to happen now, have you been contacted

1:29:03 > 1:29:08by Sarah 's team.Yes, we had a meeting at the local holiday in

1:29:08 > 1:29:18yesterday, we went to various things, they have employers who are

1:29:18 > 1:29:25willing to take on apprentices and extra incentives are provided as

1:29:25 > 1:29:33they take on apprentices who have been laid off.Is jolly's case is

1:29:33 > 1:29:36typical, Sarah?Yes, it has been a worrying time for individuals who

1:29:36 > 1:29:39thought they had a career just round the corner. We hope to be able to

1:29:39 > 1:29:45minimise that worry and now these skills that Charlie has and many of

1:29:45 > 1:29:49these apprentices, in bricklaying, carpentry and joinery, are massively

1:29:49 > 1:29:53in need in the construction industry. We all know we have

1:29:53 > 1:29:56hundreds of thousands of homes to build and lots of infrastructure

1:29:56 > 1:30:02projects. I'm very hopeful that many of these apprentices, if not all of

1:30:02 > 1:30:05them, will find proper employment with a good employer and complete

1:30:05 > 1:30:09their apprenticeship.What about Charlie wondering if the last year

1:30:09 > 1:30:13and a half of his life has been worth it, will he be able to

1:30:13 > 1:30:18transfer that year and a half to a new employer and get qualified?

1:30:18 > 1:30:22Absolutely, it's not a waste at all. Everything they have done has been

1:30:22 > 1:30:25banked and we'll make sure they can continue with the apprenticeship. It

1:30:25 > 1:30:29is not about starting from scratch. Charlie and people in these

1:30:29 > 1:30:33occupations are much needed, so we need to help them as much as we can.

1:30:33 > 1:30:39We've already had lots of employers of all sizes coming forward to offer

1:30:39 > 1:30:43employment to these people.Sarah, thank you for coming in. Charlie,

1:30:43 > 1:30:44best of luck.

1:30:44 > 1:30:52Thank you for speaking to us. Still to come, the inspirational story of

1:30:52 > 1:30:56a woman bringing up three grandchildren after losing her three

1:30:56 > 1:31:04daughters. And hair to the throne, Prince William's new cut has made

1:31:04 > 1:31:07headlines, we ask how one goes about getting the perfect number one all

1:31:07 > 1:31:10over?

1:31:10 > 1:31:18Time for the latest news - here's Annita.

1:31:18 > 1:31:21Scientists in the United States have taken a step towards one

1:31:21 > 1:31:24of the biggest goals in medicine - a universal blood test for cancer.

1:31:24 > 1:31:26The method - known as "Cancer Seek" -

1:31:26 > 1:31:28detects eight common forms of the disease.

1:31:28 > 1:31:30Researchers are cautiously optmistic, saying more work

1:33:58 > 1:34:02lost three daughters within seven years.

1:34:02 > 1:34:06Devastated by the individual tragedies, she is now bringing

1:34:06 > 1:34:09up her two young grandchildren with her remaining son,

1:34:09 > 1:34:11Nathan, and best friend Bev Williams.

1:34:11 > 1:34:13Whilst trying to deal with her own personal grief,

1:34:13 > 1:34:17Sam has become a bit of a supergran and is determined to give her

1:34:17 > 1:34:18grandkids a positive and joy-filled life,

1:34:18 > 1:34:23just as their mums would have wanted.

1:34:23 > 1:34:26I spoke to her earlier and she told me about the impact of losing her

1:34:26 > 1:34:30daughters.

1:34:30 > 1:34:31Shock, devastation.

1:34:31 > 1:34:32Absolutely.

1:34:32 > 1:34:40Nightmare, you know, just terrible like, you know.

1:34:41 > 1:34:44I know you don't want to go into lots of detail in front

1:34:44 > 1:34:45of the children about what happened.

1:34:45 > 1:34:48Just explain to us, if you would, you lost your first

1:34:48 > 1:34:51daughter when she was 15.

1:34:51 > 1:34:59Just turned 15, Emilie did, yes, that was eight years ago.

1:35:01 > 1:35:03And it was just heartbreaking as well, shocking.

1:35:03 > 1:35:04We were all shocked.

1:35:04 > 1:35:06Just terrible, it was.

1:35:06 > 1:35:08And for you Nathan, as a brother, that's really tough.

1:35:08 > 1:35:11Yes, because he was only young as well, see.

1:35:11 > 1:35:16Do you remember it?

1:35:16 > 1:35:19Yeah, I do but obviously I didn't know what was going on.

1:35:19 > 1:35:23Then obviously I realised.

1:35:23 > 1:35:24As I got older.

1:35:24 > 1:35:29It was hard.

1:35:29 > 1:35:31So you tried to pick yourselves up as a family as best you can,

1:35:31 > 1:35:38clearly there is a huge hole there, you do your best.

1:35:38 > 1:35:40And then moving forward a few years, Amy, your

1:35:40 > 1:35:43And then moving forward a few years, Amy, your daughter,

1:35:43 > 1:35:44had health issues.

1:35:44 > 1:35:49From the age of 18 months she was in hospital,

1:35:49 > 1:35:51all her life until she was 21 in hospital.

1:35:51 > 1:35:58She had over a thousand operations as well.

1:35:58 > 1:36:02And Amy passed away at 21, she was 21, and that was heartbreaking.

1:36:02 > 1:36:04All over again, like.

1:36:04 > 1:36:07Of course all over again, second daughter.

1:36:07 > 1:36:12Grieving again, you know.

1:36:12 > 1:36:16Absolutely, but this time leaving...

1:36:16 > 1:36:22Jenson, he was 11 months old at the time.

1:36:22 > 1:36:26A little baby.

1:36:26 > 1:36:28It was really hard, grieving at the same time.

1:36:28 > 1:36:30That's what I wanted to ask you.

1:36:30 > 1:36:32And bringing the baby up.

1:36:32 > 1:36:34You have an 11-month-old baby, clearly very demanding.

1:36:34 > 1:36:39Very!

1:36:39 > 1:36:40You have Nathan and your other daughter.

1:36:40 > 1:36:48You are trying to be a mum.

1:36:49 > 1:36:52Was it an instant decision to say I'll will look after Jenson?

1:36:52 > 1:36:54Yes, straightaway.

1:36:54 > 1:36:56My other daughter was six months pregnant at the time.

1:36:56 > 1:36:57She was 15 as well.

1:36:57 > 1:37:01Just had to be strong, really, you know.

1:37:01 > 1:37:09And we did.

1:37:10 > 1:37:14Does Jenson...

1:37:14 > 1:37:17He doesn't remember his mum...

1:37:17 > 1:37:19Ge doesn't.

1:37:19 > 1:37:22He looks at photographs and says, this is my mummy.

1:37:22 > 1:37:27He doesn't really talk much, you know.

1:37:27 > 1:37:29As if that wasn't enough that you endured.

1:37:29 > 1:37:32You lost your third.

1:37:32 > 1:37:34My third daughter.

1:37:34 > 1:37:39She was 19.

1:37:39 > 1:37:46Chantelle was three.

1:37:46 > 1:37:48That was absolutely awful, shocking, a nightmare.

1:37:48 > 1:37:51Upset and grieving again all over again.

1:37:51 > 1:37:54The third time.

1:37:54 > 1:37:58I had Chantelle then straightaway as well.

1:37:58 > 1:38:04I just got on with it.

1:38:04 > 1:38:06Chantelle, can you see the pictures, who is

1:38:06 > 1:38:13that a picture of?

1:38:13 > 1:38:18Abbie.

1:38:18 > 1:38:19Mummy, look.

1:38:19 > 1:38:21Can you see the pictures behind of all of

1:38:21 > 1:38:25your family as well.

1:38:25 > 1:38:27Chantelle, do you talk a lot about mummy?

1:38:27 > 1:38:30She talks about her everyday.

1:38:30 > 1:38:38You can always rely on children to say the right thing.

1:38:40 > 1:38:44I guess that's a really important thing for you, to keep that alive.

1:38:44 > 1:38:45We talk about her everyday.

1:38:45 > 1:38:47It just keeps us going.

1:38:47 > 1:38:48Stay strong and be strong.

1:38:48 > 1:38:50Do you have pictures around the home?

1:38:50 > 1:38:51Give us a sense.

1:38:51 > 1:38:57I have, what do you call it, a shrine.

1:38:57 > 1:39:02It has four doors and lights all around it.

1:39:02 > 1:39:06Angels and candles.

1:39:06 > 1:39:09And Bev is sitting at the end.

1:39:09 > 1:39:11She is like my sister.

1:39:11 > 1:39:18How much of a network do you have supporting you?

1:39:18 > 1:39:28Bev is absolutely amazing, she is. She would babysit as well.Sam used

1:39:28 > 1:39:36to babysit for my oldest two children. Chantelle, Amy and Abbie

1:39:36 > 1:39:41used to come to the youth club as well. Emilie was my daughter's

1:39:41 > 1:39:47friend. She spent a lot of time at the house as well. Abbie and Sam had

1:39:47 > 1:39:52built up a bond because she had lost her two girls, there were two left.

1:39:52 > 1:39:56When she went, it was just horrendous. You can't even say the

1:39:56 > 1:40:01straw that broke the camel's back because that had already gone. It

1:40:01 > 1:40:05was unthinkable. Every day she gets out of bed, gets up and get these

1:40:05 > 1:40:11two to school.Does that help you? You have Nathan and clearly you

1:40:11 > 1:40:19still have to be a mother to Nathan. He's a big lad.He's still my baby!

1:40:19 > 1:40:25Chantelle and Jenson need you, don't they?Debut. And I love them so

1:40:25 > 1:40:32much. -- they do. They are really hard work, but, yeah. It's very

1:40:32 > 1:40:40rewarding.Nathan, what has it been like for you in the last few years?

1:40:40 > 1:40:47Unbelievable. My niece and nephew... He does a lot of things as well.

1:40:47 > 1:40:58He's a strong boy.My niece and nephew...In some ways you almost

1:40:58 > 1:41:06like a dad them, weirdly?Yeah.You are there as the big uncle.And his

1:41:06 > 1:41:11father as well, he's really good with them.One of the things you

1:41:11 > 1:41:16really focus on is positivity. You are smiling and happy here now and

1:41:16 > 1:41:21that's really important for you to bring into Chantelle and Jenson's

1:41:21 > 1:41:26life. Tell us about holidays and memories, things you want to create.

1:41:26 > 1:41:30We have loads of memories, Disneyland, we have been to Spain

1:41:30 > 1:41:43last year as well. There is a photo there... We have caravan holidays as

1:41:43 > 1:41:53well.We go out and about.We go out for meals and everything.They are

1:41:53 > 1:41:56the happiest little kids you will ever meet. So loving as well,

1:41:56 > 1:42:02marvellous.All the teachers like to say that they are really happy

1:42:02 > 1:42:08children.Chantelle, do you know where that is? Is that in Spain? And

1:42:08 > 1:42:16you've been to Disneyland?It was absolutely freezing.What was the

1:42:16 > 1:42:25most fun in Disneyland?The

1:42:25 > 1:42:30most fun in Disneyland?The Castle. The big Princess castle. Who did you

1:42:30 > 1:42:40meet there, Mickey Mouse?The Princess.Which one?Else.Did you

1:42:40 > 1:42:49love Frozen?Yeah.And did Jenson and Disneyland. He's shy, that's OK.

1:42:49 > 1:42:53He's just playing with his microphone, having fun. Probably

1:42:53 > 1:43:02helping the sound department. Did you like Disneyland, Jenson?

1:43:02 > 1:43:05you like Disneyland, Jenson?Yeah, you liked the rides, didn't you, the

1:43:05 > 1:43:16Dumbo ride. And the Lego, he's got a lot of money's worth of Lego!They

1:43:16 > 1:43:19are so happy, and clearly these two are very special children and they

1:43:19 > 1:43:28bring you a lot of joy.Yes, yeah, because they are my girl's.Do you

1:43:28 > 1:43:37see facial expressions?Definitely. 100%, the three of them.Amy and

1:43:37 > 1:43:43Abbie...Definitely in this one because Amy was the wicked one. And

1:43:43 > 1:43:53Chantelle is like her mummy.For you, for the future, what are your

1:43:53 > 1:43:59priorities? Clearly keeping your girls memories alive.Talking about

1:43:59 > 1:44:06them every day, making sure the children are happy. Just stay

1:44:06 > 1:44:14strong.Nathan, how is your relationship changing with your mum?

1:44:14 > 1:44:18Is there a lot more attention paid to you and does she worry about him

1:44:18 > 1:44:23or?Yeah, she phones me every time I'm out, when I'm walking home,

1:44:23 > 1:44:30where are you?If he's out with the boys.I don't drink or smoke.He's a

1:44:30 > 1:44:40good boy.

1:44:41 > 1:44:45He has trouble seeing in both eyes as well.He's going for a cornea

1:44:45 > 1:44:52transplant.You have enough challenges, haven't you? It has been

1:44:52 > 1:44:58lovely to meet you as you are so happy. Clearly Chantelle and Jenson,

1:44:58 > 1:45:07you are very lucky little people.

1:45:07 > 1:45:11And Oxford University student who spent two and a half years under

1:45:11 > 1:45:15investigation for rape had his case dropped just two and a half days

1:45:15 > 1:45:18before going to court. Danny Gilford is at Crown Court.

1:45:25 > 1:45:30This student was 19 and at Oxford University when he was arrested on

1:45:30 > 1:45:34suspicion of rape and indecent assault, that was in 2015, two and a

1:45:34 > 1:45:38half years ago. He was actually charged with the offences in June

1:45:38 > 1:45:44last year so it has taken some time to get to this point. A trial was

1:45:44 > 1:45:49due to take place on Monday. The judge today has recorded formerly a

1:45:49 > 1:45:55verdict of not guilty against Oliver Mears because the prosecution has

1:45:55 > 1:46:01offered no evidence against him. The judge, Jonathan Black, ask the

1:46:01 > 1:46:05prosecution to explain why they had taken a decision, given the length

1:46:05 > 1:46:12of time in this case. The explanation was given by Sarah Ludoc

1:46:12 > 1:46:15by the prosecution, she said further material had been obtained in

1:46:15 > 1:46:20watches and was a finely balanced case. Additional material had tipped

1:46:20 > 1:46:24the balance. She was asked by the judge to explain what that material

1:46:24 > 1:46:28was. She talked about a diary containing sensitive material

1:46:28 > 1:46:32relating to the complainant. She talked about digital evidence as

1:46:32 > 1:46:37well. It appears, although she did not say this, that there was

1:46:37 > 1:46:41certainly some, possibly in criticism of the police for the

1:46:41 > 1:46:47length of time and had taken for this material to emerge -- some

1:46:47 > 1:46:51implicit criticism. At the end of the proceedings the judge said there

1:46:51 > 1:46:56were unnecessary delays in this case. He said Oliver Mears and the

1:46:56 > 1:46:59complainant had these matters hanging over their heads were two

1:46:59 > 1:47:03years and demanded a full explanation from the head of the

1:47:03 > 1:47:07rape and sexual assault unit of the Crown Prosecution Service within 28

1:47:07 > 1:47:11days. Thank you, Danny.

1:47:11 > 1:47:13Next this morning - the Duke of Cambridge sported

1:47:13 > 1:47:15a newly trimmed hairstyle when he visited a children's

1:47:15 > 1:47:16hospital yesterday.

1:47:16 > 1:47:19The 35-year-old heir to the throne revealed the close-shaven style

1:47:19 > 1:47:23at the launch of an event where he met military veterans.

1:47:23 > 1:47:29Does he look better?

1:47:29 > 1:47:31With me is Errol Douglas - he's an award-winning celebrity hair

1:47:31 > 1:47:33stylist with clients including Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt.

1:47:33 > 1:47:36And in Nottingham, Spencer Stevenson.

1:47:36 > 1:47:39he's a leading hair loss mentor who has spent more than £40,000

1:47:39 > 1:47:44on his hair since he noticed it thinning in his 20s.

1:47:44 > 1:47:49Thank you both for joining us. Errol, first of all, does Prince

1:47:49 > 1:47:53William look better with shorter hair.He looks amazing. What I like

1:47:53 > 1:47:58about his hair is the confidence. Before, he looked as if he was kind

1:47:58 > 1:48:03of cheating on his hair and now he looks really confident and I think

1:48:03 > 1:48:06he looks more handsome.From his body language he looks more

1:48:06 > 1:48:13confident?He's holding himself, he looks more upright. When you have a

1:48:13 > 1:48:17hairstyle like that you will ask your spouse so I am sure he must

1:48:17 > 1:48:22have asked if it was looking good. He does look good. He almost looks

1:48:22 > 1:48:28taller as well.Let me bring your in, Spencer. £40,000 is a huge

1:48:28 > 1:48:33amount of money to spend on your hair. Clearly boarding for men is

1:48:33 > 1:48:40quite an emotional issue.It is a massive emotional issue. It dents

1:48:40 > 1:48:47your self-esteem and confidence. You're framing of your face, your

1:48:47 > 1:48:51identity, your hair is part of that so if it is taken from you it can

1:48:51 > 1:48:56have emotional repercussions which can affect guys, old guys, younger

1:48:56 > 1:48:59guys, nobody wants to lose their hair at the end of the day.You

1:48:59 > 1:49:08began losing your hair in your early 20s.Yes, at the age of 21. I'm 42

1:49:08 > 1:49:11now and tried various different treatments to start with, sadly the

1:49:11 > 1:49:18hair loss injury is a plethora of bogus treatments, likely in this day

1:49:18 > 1:49:25and age there are proven treatments that actually work. I've had a

1:49:25 > 1:49:32combination of proven treatments and hair transplants, surgery is a last

1:49:32 > 1:49:37resort. If you want to take action against your hair loss, not everyone

1:49:37 > 1:49:42does, all power to Prince William, he does look a great deal better.

1:49:42 > 1:49:47But it's certainly advisable to try that, if your hair is thinning, try

1:49:47 > 1:49:51to shape it and see what to look like. He is carrying it off. It'll

1:49:51 > 1:49:55be interesting to see if he continues to sport but hairstyle. He

1:49:55 > 1:50:00might grow a bit further. He certainly looks better and he looks

1:50:00 > 1:50:05younger in my opinion.Errol, are there certain hairstyles that are an

1:50:05 > 1:50:09absolute no-no if you are boarding and others that you should embrace?

1:50:09 > 1:50:16Absolutely. It depends how much are you got at the sides. Certain men

1:50:16 > 1:50:20have more fullness and then have density on top. That's why I can

1:50:20 > 1:50:23understand spending money on transplants. But at the end of the

1:50:23 > 1:50:30day it is getting your face and the line of your eyes balanced up. So if

1:50:30 > 1:50:34you balance it up it is good but if it looks like it is too long or

1:50:34 > 1:50:39you've got a ponytail or it just looks odd, that tends to draw more

1:50:39 > 1:50:44attention to you.Like you are trying to distract attention from

1:50:44 > 1:50:49the fact that you are balding. Is the only answer to embrace it and go

1:50:49 > 1:50:54short like Prince William has?You don't have to do an extreme, it's

1:50:54 > 1:50:59just testing. I always say, try to grow your hair out and see what it

1:50:59 > 1:51:03looks like, if you buzz it off that is up to you but try different

1:51:03 > 1:51:08things. This is not a last resort, this is something he wants to do.

1:51:08 > 1:51:13And that's confidence in itself. If you want to spend money, remember I

1:51:13 > 1:51:18am in the head business, hairs about vanity. If you want to spend that

1:51:18 > 1:51:22money, great but and is confidence as well. That's the big thing, it is

1:51:22 > 1:51:29how you feel as a person.You've got some huge clients, Brad Pitt, Lewis

1:51:29 > 1:51:33Hamilton. Have you ever had to have an awkward conversation with

1:51:33 > 1:51:39somebody who has perhaps got a combover going on?It's not really

1:51:39 > 1:51:46my place! If I am doing a makeover you'll have to give as much advice

1:51:46 > 1:51:49as you can, that is the business I am in. If someone wants to keep

1:51:49 > 1:51:53their hair then they can keep it that the main thing is that it looks

1:51:53 > 1:52:01in proportion and doesn't look silly.Spencer...He looks great.It

1:52:01 > 1:52:07is clearly worked feel.I intervened quite early, I had the same loss

1:52:07 > 1:52:11pattern as Prince William and just to reiterate, this is about self

1:52:11 > 1:52:15esteem. There is an element of vanity but it's about wanting to

1:52:15 > 1:52:22better yourself. Nobody wants to lose their hair. Losing your hair,

1:52:22 > 1:52:26until you have experienced it it's a difficult concept to comprehend. You

1:52:26 > 1:52:30take your hair for granted but it frames your face and gives you your

1:52:30 > 1:52:35identity. I have been fortunate through the processes and the

1:52:35 > 1:52:41trials, and now I educate others to avoid those mistakes.But as you say

1:52:41 > 1:52:46it is hugely emotive for many men. I am sure many men watching will feel

1:52:46 > 1:52:54the same. Thank you both for coming in.

1:52:54 > 1:53:00in. Thank you for your comments on the Tobu smashing comedy

1:53:00 > 1:53:01taboo-smashing comedy featuring

1:53:01 > 1:53:04Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar on a surprising theme.

1:53:04 > 1:53:09is about a man who invented something simple. He was a poor

1:53:09 > 1:53:12school dropout in India but he changed the lives of millions of

1:53:12 > 1:53:16women across the world by inventing the machine to make cheap sanitary

1:53:16 > 1:53:22pads. Let's see a clip from the trailer.

1:53:22 > 1:53:26I came across this story when I was researching a column for The Times

1:53:26 > 1:53:31of India. I was completely fascinated. Here was a man from a

1:53:31 > 1:53:34very simple, conservative village, and he encountered a problem when he

1:53:34 > 1:53:40realised that his wife was using unhygienic rags.Really unhygienic.

1:53:40 > 1:53:45He said he wouldn't clean his bicycle with them.A normal man

1:53:45 > 1:53:50would say, if I can't afford these, let me earn some money to buy some

1:53:50 > 1:53:55for my wife. But Arunachalam Muruganantham is a very

1:53:55 > 1:54:00idiosyncratic character and he decided, why not just make a cheaper

1:54:00 > 1:54:05bad. And he went ahead with it. His wife got fed up of testing his pads

1:54:05 > 1:54:11and he got fed up of waiting month after month because there's a gap,

1:54:11 > 1:54:15he has to wait a month every time, no other woman was willing to this

1:54:15 > 1:54:23out so he devised a contraption from a bladder that he filled with pig 's

1:54:23 > 1:54:28blood, by keep it between his legs and he went cycling.He literally

1:54:28 > 1:54:34replicated having a period while on a bike.Yes, his bag leaked so he

1:54:34 > 1:54:37had blood on his pants and the people in his village 40 was a

1:54:37 > 1:54:42pervert or that he had a sexual disease. -- they thought he was a

1:54:42 > 1:54:46pervert. He told me some people even 40 was a vampire, secretly sucking

1:54:46 > 1:54:53blood from animals and women at night! But he was ostracised, yet he

1:54:53 > 1:54:58persevered and made this machine.He lost his wife, it was ostracised

1:54:58 > 1:55:04from the village.His mother left him, he was abandoned, completely.

1:55:04 > 1:55:10But his sense of determination just pulled him through that entire time

1:55:10 > 1:55:15period and he succeeded. And then his wife came back, thank God!With

1:55:15 > 1:55:19all this in mind how difficult was it for you to say, we will make this

1:55:19 > 1:55:25into a film, I need funding.It's really surprising but the biggest

1:55:25 > 1:55:29obstacle in making the movie was to convince Murugantham that I should

1:55:29 > 1:55:34be able to make it. He was not very interested because he is not a man

1:55:34 > 1:55:40who wants to be famous or who is interested in money, beyond the

1:55:40 > 1:55:45point. He lives a very simple life. When I visited his house we were

1:55:45 > 1:55:48sitting on the floor eating off banana leaves. He was excited

1:55:48 > 1:55:52because he was getting a bed for his daughter and it was the first bed in

1:55:52 > 1:55:58his household. His philosophy is simple. He feels that we are a world

1:55:58 > 1:56:01of consumers, and necessary consumers, and if you are satisfied,

1:56:01 > 1:56:06if your chair is a bit broken and you can put a book underneath it and

1:56:06 > 1:56:10balance it, why not do that?So it wasn't difficult to go to a film

1:56:10 > 1:56:17company and make this into a huge feature

1:56:17 > 1:56:20feature film, Pad Man, talking about periods.I'd already written the

1:56:20 > 1:56:24story in my book and when I went for funding we have is absolutely no

1:56:24 > 1:56:30problem with that. The only problem we had while filming, we had two

1:56:30 > 1:56:33junior artists on the set and we filmed with them on the first day,

1:56:33 > 1:56:39on the second day they had to hold sanitary pads and they run away. We

1:56:39 > 1:56:41had to shoot abortion again because they were mortified at holding and

1:56:41 > 1:56:47menstrual product. -- we had to shoot that portion again.How hard

1:56:47 > 1:56:51was it to get your husband on board, a Bollywood superstar, presumably

1:56:51 > 1:56:55that will get more people to watch the movie.When we began I thought

1:56:55 > 1:56:58at first I would make a small arthouse film but then we thought

1:56:58 > 1:57:03the mission is to have as many people as possible watching it,

1:57:03 > 1:57:07across households and globally as well. And if Indian people see one

1:57:07 > 1:57:10of their idols holding a sanitary pad then half the tabloids are

1:57:10 > 1:57:16dispelled right at that moment.

1:57:16 > 1:57:20Soon you will be able to see that film right across the UK. Let's

1:57:20 > 1:57:25watch the clip.

1:57:45 > 1:57:53You're thinking I'm mad, but mad only becoming famous.

1:57:59 > 1:58:04Just a flavour of the film Pad Man, lots of people are getting in touch

1:58:04 > 1:58:08about this, once as my daughter was in India working for a charity to

1:58:08 > 1:58:17bring awareness of periods to the girls, I was shocked at the level of

1:58:17 > 1:58:20shame there is attached to this biological function.

1:58:20 > 1:58:22BBC Newsroom live is coming up next.

1:58:22 > 1:58:23Thank you for your company today.

1:58:23 > 1:58:31Have a good day.
