0:00:11 > 0:00:15Hello, it is Monday, it is nine o'clock. Welcome to the programme.

0:00:15 > 0:00:20The head of the Army speaks out on defence funding in a rare public

0:00:20 > 0:00:22intervention. General Sir Nick Carter will warn of the potential

0:00:22 > 0:00:26threat posed by Russian long-range missiles and cyber warfare skills.

0:00:26 > 0:00:31His call for more money has been welcomed by military colleagues.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35There is a Russian threat out there. I visited Russia last year for the

0:00:35 > 0:00:41May Day parade. I found that their capability was awesome. Not only in

0:00:41 > 0:00:47the conventional side, but also, as we know, the developments in the

0:00:47 > 0:00:50cyber and high technology.Large numbers of young women say they are

0:00:50 > 0:00:53too embarrassed to go for a smear test, putting themselves at risk of

0:00:53 > 0:00:56cervical cancer.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59I've not met a woman yet who didn't say they were embarrassed,

0:00:59 > 0:01:01so I did put lots of things in front of mine.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04I'll clean house, I'll go shopping, anything not to go.

0:01:04 > 0:01:09You know, it is very embarrassing.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12We will ask AGP what more can be done to improve uptake. We will also

0:01:12 > 0:01:17talk a mother whose daughter swallowed a small button battery, as

0:01:17 > 0:01:21doctors warn of a spike in cases and life changing injuries that can

0:01:21 > 0:01:23result from it.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Hello.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37We're also talking about social media this morning as a report

0:01:37 > 0:01:39suggests that we're falling out of love with it.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Concerns about fake news, social anxiety and cyber bullying

0:01:41 > 0:01:43are partly to blame.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Let us know if you've deleted your accounts, or if you're

0:01:46 > 0:01:48just using social media less.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning -

0:01:53 > 0:01:56use the hashtag #VictoriaLive and if you text, you will be charged

0:01:56 > 0:02:00at the standard network rate.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Our top story today...

0:02:01 > 0:02:03The head of the Army will warn today that

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Britain's military risks falling behind that of its enemies unless it

0:02:06 > 0:02:07gets additional investment.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10In a speech to the defence think tank, the Royal

0:02:10 > 0:02:14United Services Institute, General Sir Nick Carter is expected

0:02:14 > 0:02:17to say that Russia now has superior battlefield capabilities to the UK,

0:02:17 > 0:02:19and poses a significant threat in terms of cyber warfare.

0:02:19 > 0:02:27Simon Clemison reports.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Images showing what Russia said was a strike on Syria.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34But the rockets come not from the Mediterranean Sea,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36but the Caspian Sea, more than 900 miles away.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39The head of the Army warns Russia is building an increasingly

0:02:39 > 0:02:45aggressive military, which the UK is struggling to match.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Russia has also been simulating attacks closer to home,

0:02:47 > 0:02:49conducting large-scale exercises.

0:02:49 > 0:02:55This, the heavily armed Klinongrad bordering Lithuania.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57General Sir Nick Carter will warn Britain must take notice

0:02:57 > 0:03:01of what is going on around us and keep up, or we could be

0:03:01 > 0:03:02massively constrained.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04He will say the threats are not thousands of miles away,

0:03:04 > 0:03:07but are now on our doorstep.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11He says cyber warfare can also disrupt the lives of normal people.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15One of the most important aspects is to deter any aggression.

0:03:15 > 0:03:20You can only do that with a strong army and forward presence.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24You need the back-up to sustain that.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27That means a significant size in terms of the army and any thought

0:03:27 > 0:03:34of reducing the army below the numbers that we have

0:03:34 > 0:03:40at the moment, about 80,000, I think would put it at risk.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44The head of the army is not saying this in so many words,

0:03:44 > 0:03:46but one way to avoid the possibility of Britain falling behind

0:03:46 > 0:03:49in combat could be more money from the Chancellor here

0:03:49 > 0:03:50at Number 11.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52He certainly won't want to see any cuts.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54The speech will be made with the approval of

0:03:54 > 0:03:57the Defence Secretary, who has already said a 2% rise should be

0:03:57 > 0:03:58a base, not a ceiling.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59No word yet from the Chancellor.

0:03:59 > 0:04:06Simon Cleminson, BBC News.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09More on that later.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Annita McVeigh is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

0:04:11 > 0:04:13of the rest of the days news.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16A charity says one in three young women in the UK are embarrassed

0:04:16 > 0:04:18to attend smear tests for cervical cancer because of issues

0:04:18 > 0:04:20with body image.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, which surveyed more than 2000 women

0:04:23 > 0:04:26aged between 25 and 35, said it was worried about the impact

0:04:26 > 0:04:32on screening rates, which have fallen to a 20-year low.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36The key finding that has come out is that one in three women that have

0:04:36 > 0:04:39been researched say that body image is a very significant factor for not

0:04:39 > 0:04:40attending cervical screening.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42That's a big concern.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45For those under 35 it's the most common cancer,

0:04:45 > 0:04:47and if women aren't attending cervical screening then

0:04:47 > 0:04:51potentially their lives will be put at risk.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Ukip's deputy leader has resigned in protest over Henry Bolton's

0:04:54 > 0:04:58decision to step down as party leader.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01MEP Margot Parker, who'll remain with the party,

0:05:01 > 0:05:04says Mr Bolton has left the party in "limbo" after refusing to go,

0:05:04 > 0:05:06despite receiving a vote of no confidence from UKIP's

0:05:06 > 0:05:10national executive committee.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Mr Bolton faces repeated calls to quit over offensive text messages

0:05:12 > 0:05:15sent by his former girlfriend.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30Lord O'Neill says that economy should perform better this year than

0:05:30 > 0:05:33many opponents of Brexit had predicted. He said it should be

0:05:33 > 0:05:36upgraded because of increased demand from America, China and continental

0:05:36 > 0:05:36Europe.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Detectives are continuing to investigate the fatal stabbing

0:05:38 > 0:05:40of an 8-year-old girl in the West Midlands.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Mylee Billingham was named by police as the schoolgirl who died

0:05:43 > 0:05:46at an address near Walsall on Saturday night.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48A 54-year-old man, who was arrested in connection with the attack,

0:05:48 > 0:05:56remains in a critical condition in hospital.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01Boris Johnson will meet his US counterpart Rex Tillerson in London

0:06:01 > 0:06:06today for talks on Syria, Iran and Yemen. It comes after Donald Trump

0:06:06 > 0:06:13refused to visit the UK to open the new US embassy.

0:06:14 > 0:06:20Donald Trump may not be coming to Britain, but his Secretary of State

0:06:20 > 0:06:23is. Rex Tillerson arrived for a fresh round of diplomacy in European

0:06:23 > 0:06:26capitals. America's foreign policy chief is expected to visit the new

0:06:26 > 0:06:31US Embassy in London on the one the President said he doesn't like, and

0:06:31 > 0:06:36try to smooth ruffled feathers by offering the now ritual reassurances

0:06:36 > 0:06:41about the importance of the UK and US relationship. But in his meetings

0:06:41 > 0:06:45with Boris Johnson and senior security officials, Mr Tillerson is

0:06:45 > 0:06:50also expected to seek common ground on key international issues. On

0:06:50 > 0:06:55Syria, there will discuss not only the new Turkish assault on Kurdish

0:06:55 > 0:06:58forces in the north, but also upcoming meetings in Geneva and

0:06:58 > 0:07:01elsewhere to seek yet again some kind of political solution to the

0:07:01 > 0:07:06conflict. Mr Tillerson also wants to discuss Iran, where Britain and

0:07:06 > 0:07:14Europe are at odds with the US over the deal to restrict Teheran's Ukip

0:07:14 > 0:07:20-- nuclear programme. It looks set to look into ways to curb the

0:07:20 > 0:07:24nuclear process. Both sides will want to talk about Yemen, the

0:07:24 > 0:07:27fighting and the humanitarian system continues to get worse, in what has

0:07:27 > 0:07:31become a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Attention, as ever,

0:07:31 > 0:07:35will focus on the UK and US relationship, that is being tested

0:07:35 > 0:07:39by Donald Trump's apparent indifference and reluctance to

0:07:39 > 0:07:42visit. Today's diplomacy will prepare the way for the President's

0:07:42 > 0:07:47meeting with the Prime Minister Theresa May, which is expected in

0:07:47 > 0:07:50the Swiss resort of Davos next week.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53The US federal government will remain closed today

0:07:53 > 0:07:55after the Senate delayed a vote on a budget measure,

0:07:55 > 0:07:58which would have allowed civil servants to go back to work.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Democrats want President Trump to negotiate over immigration,

0:08:00 > 0:08:03but Republicans say no deal is possible while federal government

0:08:03 > 0:08:05services are closed.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07The last government shutdown was in 2013,

0:08:07 > 0:08:14and lasted for 16 days.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Authorities in Mexico say more than 25,000 people were murdered in the

0:08:17 > 0:08:23country last year, about 500 every week. The majority were in states

0:08:23 > 0:08:26where drug cartels are deeply entrenched. Mexico City and the

0:08:26 > 0:08:35tourist areas of Baja California also saw murder rates rise 400%.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Kaymer Kennelly 1000 children centres are crossing and have not

0:08:37 > 0:08:41been inspected by Ofsted for more than five years. The Government

0:08:41 > 0:08:45temporarily suspended inspections in 2015. The charity Action For

0:08:45 > 0:08:50Children says it has left thousands of parents with no idea how good

0:08:50 > 0:08:53their local centre is.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55For babies and toddlers, it is a chance to play.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57For parents, a chance to socialise and get free support

0:08:57 > 0:08:59from health workers.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01There are 3000 or so children's centres across England.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Like schools, Ofsted inspects them for safety and quality.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07In 2015, the Government decided to consult over their future

0:09:07 > 0:09:08and told inspectors to stop inspecting.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12The charity Action For Children says two years on, some 969 centres due

0:09:12 > 0:09:19an inspection have not had one.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23That is 40% of the total.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26In that time, councils have invested £1.4 billion in children's centres,

0:09:26 > 0:09:31but it is not clear how well the money has been spent.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34What it means is that local authorities under pressure for cash,

0:09:34 > 0:09:36if the centres are not inspected, they are sort of invisible.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39What that means is that it is much easier to close them.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Two years ago, Alka lost her mother just after giving birth to her son

0:09:42 > 0:09:47and was heading towards depression.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50At the centres were not here to help me, and the health visitor,

0:09:50 > 0:09:52one consistent person throughout to help me, I'm not sure how

0:09:52 > 0:09:55we would have coped, and I don't think we would have

0:09:55 > 0:09:56coped very well.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58These centres are a lifeline.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Ofsted confirmed that the inspections are still suspended.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02The Department for Education said robust and regular partial

0:10:02 > 0:10:10inspections do still take place.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16A man's been rescued after a week of being cut off by the snow.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18The 64-year-old, who lives in Dumfries and Galloway,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21had been attempting to reach the nearest village, but his path

0:10:21 > 0:10:22was blocked by deep snow.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24A mountain rescue team tried to drive to him,

0:10:24 > 0:10:27but had to abandon the car and go on foot to help him.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31They finally managed to reach the man after battling

0:10:31 > 0:10:32through drifts for two hours.

0:10:32 > 0:10:37Gary Oldman has cemented his status as favourite to win an Oscar this

0:10:37 > 0:10:39year after being awarded Best Actor at the Screen

0:10:39 > 0:10:44Actors Guild Awards.

0:10:44 > 0:10:50It's for his role as Winston Churchill in The Darkest Hour. He

0:10:50 > 0:10:58was overcome with emotion as he received his prize.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Churchill reminds us we make a living by what we get,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03but we make a life by what we give.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07And you have given, you have given enormously tonight.

0:11:07 > 0:11:14I am so deeply honoured and proud to receive this magnificent award.

0:11:14 > 0:11:21Perhaps a golden statue in his hands next time round?

0:11:26 > 0:11:32Time to get an sport. Let's talk about the Australian open, Kyle

0:11:32 > 0:11:37Edmund has some decent company?We are whittling down the numbers.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39After his success yesterday, incredible, through to his first

0:11:39 > 0:11:43grand slam quarterfinal, the biggest win of his career. There is another

0:11:43 > 0:11:47name you might know.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52Roger Federer through to the quarter finals of the Austrailian Open

0:11:52 > 0:11:54beocming the oldest man to reach the last eight since

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Ken Rosewell in 1977.

0:11:57 > 0:12:02That was the grand age of 36!

0:12:02 > 0:12:05He beat Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in straight sets, making quick work

0:12:05 > 0:12:11of him too in under two hours.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15He'll face Czech Tomas Berdych next.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17And in the women's draw top seed Simona Halep beat Naomi Osaka

0:12:17 > 0:12:21after coming through a tight first set she ran away with it 6-3, 6-2.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24and she goes on to face the winner of the all Czech contest

0:12:24 > 0:12:29between sixth seed Karolina Pliskova and 20th seed Barbora Strycova.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34Novak Djokovic, also bidding for his place. But standing in the way, the

0:12:34 > 0:12:43South Korean

0:12:43 > 0:12:47South Korean 21-year-old, Hyeon Chung. Already shaping up to be an

0:12:47 > 0:12:52exciting match. And the Masters has a new champion in the snigger?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54What a performance from Northern Ireland's Mark Allen,

0:12:54 > 0:12:56in what was arguably the biggest contest of his career.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00He beat Kyren Wilson to triumph 10-7 in the final of the Masters

0:13:00 > 0:13:02at Alexandra Palace.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Remember, he had to beat the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan

0:13:04 > 0:13:09and John Higgins to get to the last two.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12But 40 years since Alex Higgins won his first Masters title Allen

0:13:12 > 0:13:14has followed in his footsteps after last night's marathon match

0:13:14 > 0:13:19which in the end lasted five hours and 14 minutes!

0:13:19 > 0:13:22He walks away with the Paul Hunter trophy of course and

0:13:22 > 0:13:30£200,000 in prize money.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Devastating though for Kyren Wilson who was in tears afterwards,

0:13:34 > 0:13:38he is of course the first player born in the 1990s to appear

0:13:38 > 0:13:41in a triple crown.

0:13:41 > 0:13:47You could see what it meant to him. Close to tears, we can understand.

0:13:47 > 0:13:56But you should hold ahead of really high. -- your head up.I've had an

0:13:56 > 0:13:59incredible week. I said to my manager and my coach, if anybody was

0:13:59 > 0:14:04going to beat me, I would have loved it to have been Mark

0:14:04 > 0:14:08going to beat me, I would have loved it to have been Mark. I am

0:14:08 > 0:14:11devastated. But he deserves it, he has been knocking on the door.

0:14:11 > 0:14:23Incredible what two are doing for the sport. Kyren said it was nice to

0:14:23 > 0:14:27go into pizza express and have people asking for his autograph.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29A lot of people tweeting about ths yesterday.

0:14:31 > 0:14:38Strong selfie gain in football. There has been a lot of talk about

0:14:38 > 0:14:44this transfer, Alexis Sanchez. If ever we needed confirmation,

0:14:44 > 0:14:50standing on the pitch in his number 7 shirt, taking a selfie. And he is

0:14:50 > 0:14:52not the only one. Somebody else that once wore that number seven shirt is

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Cristiano Ronaldo.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57After Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice during Real Madrid's 7-1 thrashing

0:14:57 > 0:15:00over Deportivo he did get a boot to the face, but couldn't quite wait

0:15:00 > 0:15:02to get to the changing rooms to check the results,

0:15:02 > 0:15:10borrowing his physio's phone to check out the damage.

0:15:11 > 0:15:20Nobody had a mirror handy. What have you got? An iPhone.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23He wasn't happy with what he saw either.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27He might be starting something, I was checking my make-up on my phone

0:15:27 > 0:15:33earlier and I was accused of doing a Visteon Ronaldo! You -- a Cristiano

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Ronaldo.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women under 35 and easily

0:15:39 > 0:15:40treatable if it's found early.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43But a new study has found that a third of young women

0:15:43 > 0:15:45are avoiding getting smear tests because they are too embarrassed

0:15:45 > 0:15:48to show their bodies to doctors.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50The cervical cancer charity Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust surveyed

0:15:50 > 0:15:522000 women under 35 and found that in some areas, half

0:15:52 > 0:15:55of them were ignoring invitations to be screened.

0:16:02 > 0:16:0435% said this was because of their body shape.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07While more than a third were worried about the look and smell

0:16:07 > 0:16:08of their pubic areas.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10220,000 British women of all ages are diagnosed with cervical

0:16:10 > 0:16:11abnormalities each year.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14And just under a thousand women die from cervical cancer

0:16:14 > 0:16:20every year in the UK.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22With us in the studio is Robert Music from

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, Tina Holland will tell us why

0:16:25 > 0:16:31she didn't go for smear test, And GP Dr Philippa Kaye is here too.

0:16:36 > 0:16:42Thank you to joining us. Robert, it's your organisation who carried

0:16:42 > 0:16:46out the research. Shocking to hear that so many women don't go for

0:16:46 > 0:16:50their smear test because they are worried about their body image.It's

0:16:50 > 0:16:54really worrying. We've known for a long time that embarrassment is one

0:16:54 > 0:16:59of the factors. The results from this data is very concerning. Body

0:16:59 > 0:17:02image has come up as such a huge image as it has done beforehand.

0:17:02 > 0:17:12This body -- this age group. We've got to find a way of reassuring

0:17:12 > 0:17:19them. Making sure they were aware that this test is vitally important

0:17:19 > 0:17:23and it is the most common cancer for their age group. We are really

0:17:23 > 0:17:26worried if things don't turn around and unfortunately more women will be

0:17:26 > 0:17:30diagnosed and sadly lose their lives. The key thing this cancer is

0:17:30 > 0:17:34preventable.It so many women, such a crucial test for them to get to

0:17:34 > 0:17:39diagnose them in the early stages, and if we're hearing that they would

0:17:39 > 0:17:43rather go to a gym class or get their waxing done then both for

0:17:43 > 0:17:48their smear test, what barriers, what can be done to remove some of

0:17:48 > 0:17:53those barriers?I think educational awareness. Making that age group

0:17:53 > 0:18:02understand that this is a test that is very relevant for them. But every

0:18:02 > 0:18:05three years they get invited, it's a five-minute test but those five

0:18:05 > 0:18:08minutes can literally save their lives. What's very important and has

0:18:08 > 0:18:11come out in the research is that they don't understand about the risk

0:18:11 > 0:18:16of cervical cancer so that's very important as well. One of the things

0:18:16 > 0:18:20we are calling for is a national awareness campaign to make this

0:18:20 > 0:18:24acceptable.We need to start very young. When they start having their

0:18:24 > 0:18:27personal and social education as children in primary school and they

0:18:27 > 0:18:32learn about their bodies, we should be teaching them about breast

0:18:32 > 0:18:35examination, testicular examination and the importance of smear tests.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39If it is delivered from very early on that this is part of your self

0:18:39 > 0:18:47care, in the same way you brush your teeth and you wash your face, but it

0:18:47 > 0:18:50becomes part of everyday life. I think it needs to start there and we

0:18:50 > 0:18:53need to have a bigger push on social media. We need to be pushing on

0:18:53 > 0:18:56social media in the same way you think about contraception and sexual

0:18:56 > 0:19:01health, we should be using those opportunities to have a smear test.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Wheels any to talk about what happens when you get there. People

0:19:05 > 0:19:11are frightened.We will come onto that. Let's bring in Tina. Thank you

0:19:11 > 0:19:17for joining us. Let's ask you why you didn't give your smear test.It

0:19:17 > 0:19:22was something I didn't find the time for. I think if you're in pain,

0:19:22 > 0:19:27you've got something going on that you think you need to get checked,

0:19:27 > 0:19:32then you go to the doctor. For something that you don't necessarily

0:19:32 > 0:19:36have symptoms, it's just something you put to one side, which I regret

0:19:36 > 0:19:44doing.Why do you regret it?I eventually went for my smear test

0:19:44 > 0:19:49and unfortunately I found that I had cervical cancer. It was the early

0:19:49 > 0:19:53stages which was very, very lucky. If I'd left it any longer it could

0:19:53 > 0:19:58have been a different story. If I'd have gone sooner it would have

0:19:58 > 0:20:03prevented me getting cancer rather than the cells changing into cancer.

0:20:03 > 0:20:09Teen comedy recognise what we are hearing from the today, that women

0:20:09 > 0:20:13are put off because they are embarrassed about their bodies,

0:20:13 > 0:20:16embarrassed about how they look, about smell, they would rather do

0:20:16 > 0:20:21other things than go for a smear test and find any excuse not to go?

0:20:21 > 0:20:26It's an intimate part of a woman's body, and people get embarrassed I

0:20:26 > 0:20:36think. Like you say, smells, the look and somebody else seeing that

0:20:36 > 0:20:42area. But every female has got one and, you know, the specialist that

0:20:42 > 0:20:47does the smear test have seen a variety of them. There's nothing to

0:20:47 > 0:20:51be embarrassed about at all.We even hear that women won't go unless

0:20:51 > 0:20:58they've shaved or waxed in that area as well.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01as well.Again, everybody is different, everybody's preferences

0:21:01 > 0:21:05are different. The nurses, the gynaecologist that do the tests have

0:21:05 > 0:21:11seen it all and will see worse, better, every time they do a test.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15It's nothing to be worried about, nothing to be embarrassed about, and

0:21:15 > 0:21:20it saves your life and it helps prevent cancer. I recommend

0:21:20 > 0:21:24everybody getting it done.Is there anything looking back that would

0:21:24 > 0:21:30have helped you, that would have maybe encouraged you to go sooner?I

0:21:30 > 0:21:36think I'm site is a wonderful thing. I think knowing and having the

0:21:36 > 0:21:44knowledge that it's there to prevent you cancer, not to diagnosed cancer,

0:21:44 > 0:21:49it is there to diagnose the changes in your cervix not actually

0:21:49 > 0:21:53detecting cancer. Yes, it does detect cancer but it's there to help

0:21:53 > 0:21:58prevent it. It's one of the cancers that can be prevented with a smear

0:21:58 > 0:22:02test and cervical screening. If I'd have had more knowledge of that at

0:22:02 > 0:22:08the time I think I would have gone sooner.Thank you. Can you talk us

0:22:08 > 0:22:12through the procedure. It's not necessarily just about detecting

0:22:12 > 0:22:16cancer, it's about detecting abnormalities.It doesn't actually

0:22:16 > 0:22:19diagnose cancer and I wonder if some people don't go because they are

0:22:19 > 0:22:23terrified that they are going to be diagnosed with cancer. It detects

0:22:23 > 0:22:27precancerous changes and we can do something about those changes before

0:22:27 > 0:22:32it turns into cancer. I think we need to push the message of it

0:22:32 > 0:22:36doesn't mean that you have cancer. Some of those changes will go away

0:22:36 > 0:22:44on their own and some won't. So this is what we do. When you go to the

0:22:44 > 0:22:47doctor, it's a date that you are not bleeding. That's quite important

0:22:47 > 0:22:52when you're planning. This is a spectrum. There's a definite fear of

0:22:52 > 0:23:02the big old-fashioned metal cold speculums. Not all of that goes

0:23:02 > 0:23:08inside. If you can tolerate sex, you can tolerate that. We put it inside

0:23:08 > 0:23:13and open it up a bit to hold the walls of the joiner out of the way.

0:23:13 > 0:23:19We are looking down the sensor we can see the cervix through the hole.

0:23:19 > 0:23:27-- the walls of the vagina out of the way. We use this to swipe the

0:23:27 > 0:23:32walls of the vagina. That bit sometimes causes period pain.How

0:23:32 > 0:23:39uncomfortable is that?It depends person-to-person. Some people find

0:23:39 > 0:23:42the stretching uncomfortable and some people are more prone to period

0:23:42 > 0:23:47pain than others. That lasts a few seconds. This brush then goes in a

0:23:47 > 0:23:53pot. This comes out and you're done. Two minutes, that's all. It's

0:23:53 > 0:23:56potentially life-saving. Is it present? No. Is it uncomfortable?

0:23:56 > 0:24:06Yes. It is absolutely necessary -- is it pleasant? No. Think about

0:24:06 > 0:24:12relaxing your bottom down into the bed, that. You can sync against the

0:24:12 > 0:24:15speculum.You're explaining it in a way that makes it sound less

0:24:15 > 0:24:19terrifying but what can doctors and nurses do to make that situation

0:24:19 > 0:24:26more comfortable for women?We are lucky that you come and see your

0:24:26 > 0:24:28nurse and hopefully you have a relationship with your nurse and

0:24:28 > 0:24:32your doctor, that you get to know them over a few years. That

0:24:32 > 0:24:38relationship is really helpful.You may not.Absolutely. All of us and

0:24:38 > 0:24:42all of the nurses are very used to doing this. We are trained in doing

0:24:42 > 0:24:47this and we are used a calming down nervous women. We appreciate it's

0:24:47 > 0:24:51not comfortable, we have it done ourselves. Part of our job is to

0:24:51 > 0:24:55relax people. Makes it easier from our end as well but the message

0:24:55 > 0:25:00needs to come out that we can pick up precancerous changes. You can

0:25:00 > 0:25:05have treatment, that will save your life. It doesn't affect fertility if

0:25:05 > 0:25:11we early. People are worried about that. If we treat you early you

0:25:11 > 0:25:16shouldn't have any problems later on. We don't think about appearances

0:25:16 > 0:25:20and smells, the patient over there said they'd seen better or worse. I

0:25:20 > 0:25:24wouldn't even think about it in those terms. It is what it is.We

0:25:24 > 0:25:28are all different.Absolutely. We have to think about sexual health.

0:25:28 > 0:25:35People are worried about the number of partners they've had, people are

0:25:35 > 0:25:38worried will make judgments. We don't, we are using that information

0:25:38 > 0:25:44for the best treatment and care.One viewers as I'm puzzled by the

0:25:44 > 0:25:47objective embarrassed. Uncomfortable, inconvenient but

0:25:47 > 0:25:50extremely important. Is this what happens when we distort women's body

0:25:50 > 0:26:00image? Tina, what would your message be to people watching at home?It

0:26:00 > 0:26:06saved my life. Don't put it off. Go and get it checked and good luck.

0:26:06 > 0:26:12Tina, thank you. Thank you both as well.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Crewe Alexandra Football Club had an arrangement with former coach

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Barry Bennell to let players as young as 11 years old stay

0:26:17 > 0:26:19in his house overnight, his trial has heard.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21The 64-year-old is accused of sexually abusing 11 boys

0:26:21 > 0:26:26between 1979 and 1991.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Our reporter Jim Reed was at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday.

0:26:28 > 0:26:33Jim.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36This is the trial of Barry Bennell. Former youth football coach linked

0:26:36 > 0:26:41to a number of large professional clubs, including Crewe Alexandra and

0:26:41 > 0:26:46Manchester City. He's facing 48 counts of historical sexual abuse

0:26:46 > 0:26:50which he denies. On Friday the court heard from a former youth team

0:26:50 > 0:26:55player at Crewe Alexandra. He said he was 11 or 12 when he first became

0:26:55 > 0:27:02linked to the club. This was in the early 1980s. The jury were played a

0:27:02 > 0:27:07police interview with this man. In it he talked about trips he made to

0:27:07 > 0:27:11the north-west of England with his family, with his dad. He said it was

0:27:11 > 0:27:16there his dad used to leave him and he would stay overnight at Barry

0:27:16 > 0:27:20Bennell's house. He alleges he was seriously abused. He said between 12

0:27:20 > 0:27:26and 20 times. He was asked in the interview whose idea was it to stay

0:27:26 > 0:27:30in Barry Bennell's house. The alleged victim replied, the football

0:27:30 > 0:27:39club. By that he meant Crewe Alexandra. It would have been Dario

0:27:41 > 0:27:47... He went on to tell officers about the house itself. He described

0:27:47 > 0:27:51how Barry Bennell used to play horror movies to young children. He

0:27:51 > 0:27:55mentioned nightmare on Elm Street. He said you'd be that scared, you'd

0:27:55 > 0:28:00want to cuddle up to him. He told police this arrangement lasted for

0:28:00 > 0:28:08about 18 months until he went to stay at Dario Gradi's house. He said

0:28:08 > 0:28:12Dario looked after me, I always grew up thinking Dario saved me from

0:28:12 > 0:28:17Barry Bennell. He was asked why did this arrangement change, why did you

0:28:17 > 0:28:21stop being in Barry Bennell's care and start to be in Dario Gradi's

0:28:21 > 0:28:26care, he said he didn't remember. What did he say about the impact on

0:28:26 > 0:28:31his life?This alleged victim talked about how when he was 18 or 19, he

0:28:31 > 0:28:36said he had a panic attack. He got taken to hospital. At that point he

0:28:36 > 0:28:40said he told his father about the alleged abuse and what he said Barry

0:28:40 > 0:28:44Bennell had been doing. He said he didn't know what happened to the

0:28:44 > 0:28:50complaint, it didn't seem to go any further.What happened under

0:28:50 > 0:28:54cross-examination?Eleanor laws QC is representing Mr Bennell in this

0:28:54 > 0:28:58case. He was asked about a positive character reference that he

0:28:58 > 0:29:05apparently gave for him in the late 1980s. He also talked about a police

0:29:05 > 0:29:10statement that he gave in 1998. In this police statement he apparently

0:29:10 > 0:29:14said he was never the victim of abuse. He said he denied it then

0:29:14 > 0:29:19because of embarrassment. He was repeatedly asked about possible

0:29:19 > 0:29:23financial compensation and he said, I don't need any money, all I want

0:29:23 > 0:29:28is closure. He said he couldn't rule out claiming damages in the future.

0:29:28 > 0:29:32Mr Bennell denies 48 counts of abuse and this trial will continue at

0:29:32 > 0:29:3510:30am.Thank you.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54would rather go through a couple of minutes of embarrassment, instead of

0:34:54 > 0:35:02being diagnosed with cervical cancer and risk being taken away from my

0:35:15 > 0:35:19research that has told us that women are not going to get their smear

0:35:19 > 0:35:23tests because they are embarrassed about their bodies. Another message

0:35:23 > 0:35:29has come in from severe. She says, I am 33 and I have never missed a

0:35:29 > 0:35:34smear test. I don't and why women don't go for one. The nurses are so

0:35:34 > 0:35:37amazing and putting you at ease and so dignified. It is mind-boggling

0:35:37 > 0:35:42women are happy to have a Brazilian wax but not a test. Women need to

0:35:42 > 0:35:46grow up a little bit. Please keep your messages coming in on that

0:35:46 > 0:35:49story or anything we're talking about this morning. We could not get

0:35:49 > 0:35:53hold of Chris, but we will move onto another story we covering this

0:35:53 > 0:35:58morning.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02morning. A leading surgeon says that small button batteries should be

0:36:02 > 0:36:08classified as poisons, because they are so dangerous. Kate Cross says

0:36:08 > 0:36:13she is worried that the message is not getting through to parents. A

0:36:13 > 0:36:16Dutch surgeon said she treated three babies and toddlers in just one

0:36:16 > 0:36:20week, and that was re-tweeted thousands of times. If swallowed,

0:36:20 > 0:36:26the batteries, they are typically small, round and silver, they can

0:36:26 > 0:36:30cause serious damage to the patient will stop in some cases, it can be

0:36:30 > 0:36:35fatal. They are used in things like children's poise, electronic car

0:36:35 > 0:36:39keys and other household devices. They are also found in toys for

0:36:39 > 0:36:40household pets.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44We can speak now to Kate Cross who is a surgeon at Great Ormond Street.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Also here is Rosie Nicholson, and her 5-year-old daughter Freya.

0:36:46 > 0:36:51Freya swallowed a lithium battery just before her first Birthday.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54And we can hear from Sheila Merrill in Cambridgeshire, who is a public

0:36:54 > 0:37:02health adviser for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Thank you for joining us this morning. I want to start with you.

0:37:05 > 0:37:16How bad is the problem?With me? Oh, sorry.

0:37:16 > 0:37:22sorry. With Freya? She swallowed it about two weeks before her first

0:37:22 > 0:37:27birthday and it was in there for five weeks and we didn't know. She

0:37:27 > 0:37:31was choking at every meal and I was really concerned about that. I was

0:37:31 > 0:37:36slapping her on the back. When it first happened, it looked like flu

0:37:36 > 0:37:42symptoms. She was cold and very upset. We took her to the doctor

0:37:42 > 0:37:46five or six times over that course, she was on three different brands of

0:37:46 > 0:37:51antibiotics, still throwing up. I was saying these concerns to the

0:37:51 > 0:37:56surgeon, to the GP. As a mother, you want to trust your instincts. But

0:37:56 > 0:38:02when nobody else is supporting that, you question yourself a little bit.

0:38:02 > 0:38:08Eventually, she did choke properly and lost her breath when we were out

0:38:08 > 0:38:18shopping. I was able to back slap her and get it out, then I took it

0:38:18 > 0:38:23into A&E.I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you remember that, Freya?Kind

0:38:23 > 0:38:31of.What do you remember of that day?I was lying down and the

0:38:31 > 0:38:38doctors did an x-ray on me.How long passed from the moment he first

0:38:38 > 0:38:47started sorting out differences in Freya, to that incident?A couple of

0:38:47 > 0:38:52hours a day, maybe. I can't exactly remember the timeline. We never

0:38:52 > 0:38:58imagined it would be a button battery. It was from one of the

0:38:58 > 0:39:03scales on our bathroom floor.It had fallen out?She was playing with the

0:39:03 > 0:39:07scale, I didn't even think it has button batteries come I didn't know

0:39:07 > 0:39:12anything about this at the time. The covering for the batteries comes off

0:39:12 > 0:39:16very easily. We didn't know that this was even a problem. And you

0:39:16 > 0:39:19have got children on the floor when you're getting ready, you are busy

0:39:19 > 0:39:27and they are busy. When we found out, obviously it is still quite

0:39:27 > 0:39:32horrifying to think about how lucky we were.And also terrifying, that

0:39:32 > 0:39:39moment when you see your daughter choking?Yes. It was. When you are

0:39:39 > 0:39:49telling the GP and the doctor what is happening, they say, it is

0:39:49 > 0:39:53is happening, they say, it is croup, they are diagnosing different

0:39:53 > 0:39:58things, you start to doubt yourself. Do you now understand how dangerous

0:39:58 > 0:40:04they are?Yes.Kate, how serious is this problem?A very serious

0:40:04 > 0:40:10problem, and Freya has been very lucky. That is fantastic. Most

0:40:10 > 0:40:14children can be lucky, that you don't know that necessarily it has

0:40:14 > 0:40:17been swallowed. Children that are one or two cannot tell you that is

0:40:17 > 0:40:21what happened. As you say, the button batteries are in so many

0:40:21 > 0:40:33things. Kitchen scales, toys, remote controls, VR headsets, watches. Most

0:40:33 > 0:40:38houses will have batteries that have been taken out of those and put in a

0:40:38 > 0:40:43drawer, and even the old batteries can cause problems. If they fall on

0:40:43 > 0:40:46the floor behind the sofa, children exploring the world can easily get

0:40:46 > 0:40:53those and put them in them out. It is a real problem.Just to follow on

0:40:53 > 0:40:58from that, my youngest daughter then got a light from her scooter when

0:40:58 > 0:41:02she was one and a half, came to me with two small button batteries in

0:41:02 > 0:41:10her hand that she had pulled apart. Even after going through that, still

0:41:10 > 0:41:15not realising how accessible these are to children and how easily

0:41:15 > 0:41:21avoidable it is, my husband and I started a petition on the government

0:41:21 > 0:41:23website, looking for signatures, because it would be so simple to get

0:41:23 > 0:41:30quantum coating to make them safe. What does that mean?It is a coating

0:41:30 > 0:41:35that means that the charges of the battery will only work if the Acree

0:41:35 > 0:41:41is squeezed, on a spring. -- the battery. That should just be

0:41:41 > 0:41:44governed regulation, as well as having a child protective covering

0:41:44 > 0:41:48for anything that uses the batteries, because the plus and

0:41:48 > 0:41:55negative charges so close to each other, they do produce a poison that

0:41:55 > 0:41:58can erode the oesophagus and cause death or lifelong injuries. We were

0:41:58 > 0:42:03really lucky to come out.We know it is a serious problem if it happens.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07Can you give us a sense of the scale? How many cases have you dealt

0:42:07 > 0:42:11with, do you know how many there are?One of the problems in the UK

0:42:11 > 0:42:15is that we don't know how any cases there are nationally. In the United

0:42:15 > 0:42:18States, the poisons database system record all button battery ingestion

0:42:18 > 0:42:23is, because it is regarded to be a poison and to be so dangerous. But

0:42:23 > 0:42:27we don't have a similar mechanism of recording it in the UK. It is each

0:42:27 > 0:42:30individual hospital that deals with children that will have their own

0:42:30 > 0:42:35caseload, but it is not all been brought together and linked up. We

0:42:35 > 0:42:40brought this, with the BBC, to greater attention back in 2016. We

0:42:40 > 0:42:43were seeing two three children per month coming with significant

0:42:43 > 0:42:47injuries from button battery ingestion is. Since that, there has

0:42:47 > 0:42:50been a greater awareness. We are still seeing one or two children

0:42:50 > 0:42:55every two to three months, too many. Particularly when some of these

0:42:55 > 0:42:58children are having a life changing injuries and we have children that

0:42:58 > 0:43:02are coming back to the hospital and have to have more than 50 different

0:43:02 > 0:43:05operations to try to correct the damage that has happened because

0:43:05 > 0:43:14they have swallowed a battery.Let's bring in Sheila.Good morning.Is

0:43:14 > 0:43:21this about raising awareness?It is about raising awareness, yes. We do

0:43:21 > 0:43:25hear about children on a frequent basis actually swallowing his

0:43:25 > 0:43:34batteries. As the previous person said, they do cause untold damage

0:43:34 > 0:43:40and distress to the parents. What we're doing is actually constantly

0:43:40 > 0:43:47raising awareness about the need to put them away, put them out of

0:43:47 > 0:43:52reach, well out of the reach of young children, particularly when

0:43:52 > 0:43:55you are changing batteries, because it is so easy to put the old one

0:43:55 > 0:44:00down and forget to throw it away. Again, we're talking about small

0:44:00 > 0:44:03lithium batteries. Do they range in size, do they come in different

0:44:03 > 0:44:10sizes, can you give us, let us know what else they come in?They come in

0:44:10 > 0:44:14different sizes, they can be found in remote controls. Particularly the

0:44:14 > 0:44:21much smaller remote controls, and they can be found in kitchen scales,

0:44:21 > 0:44:31bathroom scales, Christmas cards, musical cards. A musical birthday

0:44:31 > 0:44:34card is something that a child would find quite entertaining. It is so

0:44:34 > 0:44:37easy to give them something like that to play with, but the battery

0:44:37 > 0:44:45is inside and can be peeled out. They come in various sizes. I've got

0:44:45 > 0:44:49a card here, you can see all of the various sizes that they come in.

0:44:49 > 0:44:53Some of them are so tiny that if you drop one, it is like dropping a

0:44:53 > 0:44:59little bead. It is difficult to find it. Another example that I have got

0:44:59 > 0:45:08here, this is a little dangle for a dog collar. If you squeeze it, it

0:45:08 > 0:45:13flashes. If you unscrew that, which is so easy, there are two tiny

0:45:13 > 0:45:21button batteries in there. It is a case of being aware, the things that

0:45:21 > 0:45:24hold the button batteries, the actual equipment that has button

0:45:24 > 0:45:27batteries, and then they can so easily fall out if they are not

0:45:27 > 0:45:33actually fixed incorrectly or the back comes off.

0:45:33 > 0:45:40What should you do if you suspect a child has swallowed one?If you're

0:45:40 > 0:45:44worried a child or someone had swallowed a button battery, take

0:45:44 > 0:45:48them to A&E and tell them you think your child has swallowed a button

0:45:48 > 0:45:54battery. They need to do an x-ray and check.What is that?This is the

0:45:54 > 0:46:00battery that my daughter had swallowed. It's quite corroded

0:46:00 > 0:46:05around the edge, and how small it is. It was just sitting in her

0:46:05 > 0:46:11oesophagus.How does it feel to see that and to know that was inside

0:46:11 > 0:46:21you?It feels dirty.She had very high magnesium levels after the

0:46:21 > 0:46:26battery. We still had to go to the poisons clinic, there's a bit of

0:46:26 > 0:46:32damage in her oesophagus but it was able to heal and lucky it didn't

0:46:32 > 0:46:36perforate.We are very pleased you are a cave. Thank you for sharing

0:46:36 > 0:46:41your story with us today. You've been getting in touch with us with

0:46:41 > 0:46:47your text messages. This text on the cervical cancer story, I can

0:46:47 > 0:46:50understand why young women avoid smear tests but believe me, a few

0:46:50 > 0:46:54minutes of discomfort is nothing compared with cancer. And we've had

0:46:54 > 0:47:02this tweet, I've booked mine today, please book ladies. This view says

0:47:02 > 0:47:07she's 35, she had one and it came back with abnormalities. She's been

0:47:07 > 0:47:12on the phone booking an appointment this morning. Another viewer says in

0:47:12 > 0:47:171972 a postnatal smear test saved my life. I've lived to see my children

0:47:17 > 0:47:21and grandchildren and now three great-grandchildren. Please don't be

0:47:21 > 0:47:25embarrassed. And another viewer says smears are so important, my mum died

0:47:25 > 0:47:29ten years ago grieving my brother and I heart broken, all because she

0:47:29 > 0:47:34missed a sneer and died of cervical cancer. Don't be embarrassed, nurses

0:47:34 > 0:47:40do them to save your life -- missed a smear. Thank you for all of your

0:47:40 > 0:47:43messages.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45Campaigners opposed to the release from prison of black cab rapist

0:47:45 > 0:47:48John Worboys are stepping up their efforts to ban him

0:47:48 > 0:47:49from living in London.

0:47:49 > 0:47:52There has been a fierce debate over whether or not Worboys -

0:47:52 > 0:47:54who drugged, raped and sexually assaulted his passengers -

0:47:54 > 0:47:56still poses a risk to the public.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58But on Friday the Government said it would not challenge

0:47:58 > 0:47:59the decision to release him.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02Two of Worboys' victims will begin a legal challenge next week,

0:48:02 > 0:48:04while the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, says he would look

0:48:04 > 0:48:12at bringing a separate review.

0:48:12 > 0:48:16Our legal correspondent is here with all the details. Good morning. Can

0:48:16 > 0:48:21you run us through the key developments?The key development

0:48:21 > 0:48:25was on Friday when the government said it wasn't going to seek a

0:48:25 > 0:48:29judicial review of the parole board decision. Let's define what a

0:48:29 > 0:48:33judicial review is because there's a lot of confusion. It isn't an appeal

0:48:33 > 0:48:38of the parole board decision, it is simply an application to the court

0:48:38 > 0:48:43to scrutinise the lawfulness the process of that decision. The

0:48:43 > 0:48:47argument would be that either something has gone wrong during the

0:48:47 > 0:48:52process of making that decision, or that the decision itself was so

0:48:52 > 0:48:55irrational and unreasonable that no reasonable parole board could have

0:48:55 > 0:48:59come to that decision. The government having taken legal advice

0:48:59 > 0:49:03on that, the Justice Secretary announced he felt it wouldn't be

0:49:03 > 0:49:06appropriate. Clearly they were advised the prospect of success were

0:49:06 > 0:49:12not very high. As a result of that there has been some concern and

0:49:12 > 0:49:17activity over the weekend. It's been reported that 25 MPs including the

0:49:17 > 0:49:21Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson have written to the head of the parole

0:49:21 > 0:49:25board Nick Hardwick demanding that John Warboys is not allowed to

0:49:25 > 0:49:29reside in London or come to London because that would be a betrayal of

0:49:29 > 0:49:34his victims. The Justice Secretary said on Friday also that John

0:49:34 > 0:49:37Warboys would not be released until his licence conditions had been

0:49:37 > 0:49:43finalised. At the moment he stays in prison, those conditions are being

0:49:43 > 0:49:47finalised. We know that there are two other judicial reviews. One is

0:49:47 > 0:49:53being taken by two of his victims, and you just mentioned that but also

0:49:53 > 0:49:56the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has instructed a senior lawyer to look

0:49:56 > 0:50:02into the possibility of a judicial review on the part of the mayor 's

0:50:02 > 0:50:06office. That's where we stand at the moment. David Gauke announced there

0:50:06 > 0:50:10would be an overarching review of the way in which the parole board

0:50:10 > 0:50:14operates. This is not going to be retrospective, this isn't going to

0:50:14 > 0:50:20affect the decision, but importantly it will look at where the decisions

0:50:20 > 0:50:25of the parole board can be challenged and overturned, in a sort

0:50:25 > 0:50:31of freestanding mechanism. Not this mechanism of judicial review. But

0:50:31 > 0:50:34whether we build into the parole system itself a mechanism for

0:50:34 > 0:50:39challenging the decisions. That's where we are at the moment. If the

0:50:39 > 0:50:43judicial review gets off the ground, both parties will need permission

0:50:43 > 0:50:47initially, if they get permission there will be an injunction put in

0:50:47 > 0:50:51place that. John Warboys being released whilst those judicial

0:50:51 > 0:50:56reviews play out. At the moment that's where we are, he remains in

0:50:56 > 0:51:00prison, two potential judicial reviews and this overarching review

0:51:00 > 0:51:06of the entire system.Thank you. We are joined by MP Toby Perkins, one

0:51:06 > 0:51:14of the MPs who has raised concerns. We also joined by Chris from the end

0:51:14 > 0:51:18violence against women coalition. Thank you for joining us. What's

0:51:18 > 0:51:25your concern?Our concerns are obvious. Someone who should have

0:51:25 > 0:51:34been in jail for a great deal longer is going to be released. I think the

0:51:34 > 0:51:38demand for at least a judicial review of that parole board

0:51:38 > 0:51:42decision, so that we can see if the parole board's decision was one that

0:51:42 > 0:51:47was a logical as many of us feel, at least will provide the scrutiny that

0:51:47 > 0:51:54is demanded -- that was illogical. The licensing conditions, given that

0:51:54 > 0:51:59Mr Warboys was a taxi driver and had the addresses of most of his

0:51:59 > 0:52:02victims, the condition that he shouldn't be allowed to travel into

0:52:02 > 0:52:06London will at least give a scintilla of peace of mind for some

0:52:06 > 0:52:10of those victims who must be going through absolute hell, reliving

0:52:10 > 0:52:17their appalling experiences of this man.Even if he isn't in London, as

0:52:17 > 0:52:21has been requested by these MPs who signed this letter, do you not think

0:52:21 > 0:52:24he could still be a threat to win in other parts of the country?Of

0:52:24 > 0:52:30course he can. That's why he should be in jail, I absolutely agree he

0:52:30 > 0:52:35should still be in jail. In the event that the Justice Secretary

0:52:35 > 0:52:40doesn't call for a judicial review, in the eventuality that he comes

0:52:40 > 0:52:45out, at least the existing victims who by and large have London

0:52:45 > 0:52:48addresses, that Mr Warboys in many cases is whereof, will have the

0:52:48 > 0:52:53peace of mind, the site peace of mind, that he isn't allowed to come

0:52:53 > 0:52:58into London and could be arrested if he does. You're absolutely right

0:52:58 > 0:53:03that in my view he could probably still pose a threat to the public

0:53:03 > 0:53:09safety elsewhere for new victims. I think at the very least, we owe

0:53:09 > 0:53:14existing victims that Mr Warboys is banned from coming into London.

0:53:14 > 0:53:18What's your response to this letter MPs have written to Nick Hardwick

0:53:18 > 0:53:23the chairman of the parole board, saying that if Warboys is released,

0:53:23 > 0:53:27we don't know when that will be, he shouldn't be allowed to live in the

0:53:27 > 0:53:32capital where his victims are in fear of their lives because he may

0:53:32 > 0:53:35have their home addresses?Well, I can completely understand why the

0:53:35 > 0:53:39MPs have written that letter. It is fair to say that John Warboys'

0:53:39 > 0:53:44victims in London are particularly concerned because of the type of

0:53:44 > 0:53:48predatory behaviour he displayed. He kept the names and addresses of his

0:53:48 > 0:53:52victims, the police found that afterwards. Also he's a taxi driver,

0:53:52 > 0:53:56he often drove them home after his horrible offences were committed. I

0:53:56 > 0:54:00completely understand why MPs in London have called for this

0:54:00 > 0:54:04restriction. On a wider point, we are questioning the parole board's

0:54:04 > 0:54:10decision generally to release this man, such a short time after his

0:54:10 > 0:54:14conviction. It really again shows that the CJS doesn't deal with rape

0:54:14 > 0:54:17and sexual violence very well. That's why we are supporting the

0:54:17 > 0:54:21judicial review of the two victims, saying we really want the parole

0:54:21 > 0:54:25board to look again at their decision and we want a mechanism to

0:54:25 > 0:54:29be able to review decisions like this, so this sort of thing can't

0:54:29 > 0:54:34happen again.Is it correct that if that fails, the victims who are

0:54:34 > 0:54:38taking this action, calling for a victims judicial review, will have

0:54:38 > 0:54:43to pay the cost? If, as we've heard on Friday, the government take legal

0:54:43 > 0:54:47advice and decide not to pursue a judicial review based on limited

0:54:47 > 0:54:50chances of success, where does that leave them?I think those are two

0:54:50 > 0:54:59different things. There is a crowdfunding campaign to support the

0:54:59 > 0:55:02victims to bring their judicial review and we would encourage people

0:55:02 > 0:55:08to go to the CrowdJustice website. On the MOJ's judicial review, they

0:55:08 > 0:55:12would have had to judicial review its own department in many cases.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15The prison service who provided a lot of the evidence that went

0:55:15 > 0:55:19towards the decision of the parole board, are part of the Ministry of

0:55:19 > 0:55:23Justice, and the parole board is funded itself by the Ministry of

0:55:23 > 0:55:27Justice. It is understandable that it was difficult for the Secretary

0:55:27 > 0:55:30of State for Justice to launch that judicial review. They haven't said

0:55:30 > 0:55:35it is something the victims shouldn't do. In Parliament last

0:55:35 > 0:55:37week the Secretary of State for Justice said he completely

0:55:37 > 0:55:40understood why everyone was so concerned about release. Bearing in

0:55:40 > 0:55:45mind he is one of the few people in the country who does know on what

0:55:45 > 0:55:48basis the parole board made the decision, then I think it's fair to

0:55:48 > 0:55:52say we are right to be bringing this judicial review.Toby, can I get

0:55:52 > 0:55:58your response to Crispin Blunt saying the Justice Secretary made

0:55:58 > 0:56:01the right decision, because it could have been a waste of taxpayers money

0:56:01 > 0:56:05of the legal challenge was pursued, if it had no reasonable chance of

0:56:05 > 0:56:12success.Obviously I haven't had all of the information at my disposal

0:56:12 > 0:56:16that the Secretary of State for Justice has. But I think that one of

0:56:16 > 0:56:21the things that people want to see here is that there is at least some

0:56:21 > 0:56:24scrutiny of that decision. That would have been allowed by a

0:56:24 > 0:56:31judicial review. It's a real disgrace to our legal system that

0:56:31 > 0:56:34the victims themselves are now having to try and cobble money

0:56:34 > 0:56:41together in order to bring about a judicial review. I think that even

0:56:41 > 0:56:49if the normal level of chances that the Ministry of Justice would

0:56:49 > 0:56:56expect, it would have been in the public interest to give them every

0:56:56 > 0:57:00chance to bring about a judicial review, to see the basis and at

0:57:00 > 0:57:07least allows an scrutiny. I wish that the Secretary of State for

0:57:07 > 0:57:13Justice had come to a different decision but obviously I accept that

0:57:13 > 0:57:16he had information at his disposal I don't have.Thank you for joining

0:57:16 > 0:57:21us. Some of your messages before we move on. You've been getting in

0:57:21 > 0:57:27touch and cervical cancer. This text says and 34, I've never been for a

0:57:27 > 0:57:32smear test and ignored all letters. She says my choice. I'm in two minds

0:57:32 > 0:57:36now while watching your show whether I should have won or not. I know I'm

0:57:36 > 0:57:40burying my head in the sand but I'm worried they will find something. --

0:57:40 > 0:57:44whether I should have one of them or not. The test doesn't tell you

0:57:44 > 0:57:48whether you have cancer or not, it picks up abnormalities which can be

0:57:48 > 0:57:53investigated. This text says smear testing stops when you reach 60,

0:57:53 > 0:57:57I've been having them since I was 17. I'll miss the reassurance

0:57:57 > 0:58:02everything is OK. And this message, my reluctance to having a smear test

0:58:02 > 0:58:08is because I find it extremely uncomfortable and couldn't let the

0:58:08 > 0:58:13test continue. Everybody is different. Coming up, could be

0:58:13 > 0:58:17British economy perform better this year than many opponents of Brexit

0:58:17 > 0:58:19have predicted?

0:58:19 > 0:58:20Let's get the latest weather update.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22Let's get the latest weather update.

0:58:22 > 0:58:26It's certainly been a wintry weekend. Yesterday we had some heavy

0:58:26 > 0:58:30snowfall and also heavy rain in the south-west which caused a few

0:58:30 > 0:58:34flooding problems. It's all changed. If we take a look at the forecast,

0:58:34 > 0:58:38over the next few days things will be turning milder. They're still

0:58:38 > 0:58:42quite a lot of lying snow out there at the moment. This is the scene

0:58:42 > 0:58:46captured by one of our Weather Watchers in Nottinghamshire. Some

0:58:46 > 0:58:49icy stretches around but as temperatures are on the rise a lot

0:58:49 > 0:58:54of that snow is set to thaw. Let's compare temperatures yesterday, many

0:58:54 > 0:58:58places struggled to get much above freezing. By tomorrow many of us

0:58:58 > 0:59:02will be a good 10 degrees or more warmer. That's down to the fact the

0:59:02 > 0:59:06cold air that's been in charge is getting pushed away towards the

0:59:06 > 0:59:10north-east, replaced by much milder air sweeping in from the south-west.

0:59:10 > 0:59:15That is bringing a fair amount of cloud but it's not a bad day. The

0:59:15 > 0:59:19cloud is set to thin and break allowing some sunshine to emerge,

0:59:19 > 0:59:24particularly towards the east of higher ground. Eastern Scotland also

0:59:24 > 0:59:29seeing a bit of sunshine later on. One or two showers in the western

0:59:29 > 0:59:33half of Scotland but perhaps an isolated showers in Northern Ireland

0:59:33 > 0:59:37and north-west England. A lot of dry weather, less windy and a bit warmer

0:59:37 > 0:59:41than it has been. Heading further south, fairly cloudy conditions for

0:59:41 > 0:59:46the Midlands and southern England. We've lost the rain we had first

0:59:46 > 0:59:51thing this morning. It's looking largely dry and quite bright. Fairly

0:59:51 > 0:59:55dry, light winds than we've seen recently too. As temperatures rise

0:59:55 > 1:00:03we are set to see more of that snow thawing out. It's going to be a mild

1:00:03 > 1:00:06night. Temperatures should rise as we see the south-westerly winds

1:00:06 > 1:00:10picking up. Turning squally and gusty by tomorrow morning, with the

1:00:10 > 1:00:14arrival of some rain. It will be a frost free morning but a pretty

1:00:14 > 1:00:18unsettled day. We've got the wind and these bands of rain crossing

1:00:18 > 1:00:22south-eastwards across the country. They will be followed by something

1:00:22 > 1:00:25sunnier but also further squally show was moving in from the

1:00:25 > 1:00:28north-west. Let's take a look at the temperatures across the board. We

1:00:28 > 1:00:33are looking at double figures through the day. The unsettled theme

1:00:33 > 1:00:37continues into Wednesday. Another band of heavy rain and strong

1:00:37 > 1:00:40squally winds moving eastwards across the country. There could be

1:00:40 > 1:00:45some disruptive winds in the north for a time. A return to sunshine and

1:00:45 > 1:00:48showers behind that. Looking ahead to the end of the week, staying

1:00:48 > 1:00:54fairly unsubtle. Friday a dry day with temperatures just down a notch.

1:00:54 > 1:00:58Certainly nothing as cold as we saw through the course of last week as

1:00:58 > 1:01:02temperatures are much milder over the next few days.

1:01:02 > 1:01:07Hello it's Monday, it's 10 o'clock, I'm Tina Daheley.

1:01:07 > 1:01:11Too embarrassed to go for a smear test, the danger so many women take

1:01:11 > 1:01:16putting themselves at risk of cervical cancer.We are really

1:01:16 > 1:01:19worried that if things don't turn around, and fortunately, more women

1:01:19 > 1:01:23will be diagnosed and sadly lose their lives. The key thing is that

1:01:23 > 1:01:27this is a cancer that is preventable.More turmoil for Ukip.

1:01:27 > 1:01:30The particles are 's debited leader resigns and calls for Henry Bolton

1:01:30 > 1:01:35to step down as leader. We will have all the details. And a pioneering

1:01:35 > 1:01:38gene therapy is cleared for use in Britain. It could help save the

1:01:38 > 1:01:42lives of children born with a deadly immune disorder. We will be talking

1:01:42 > 1:01:49to the parents of a child with a faulty gene.

1:01:50 > 1:01:52Good morning.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of todays news.

1:01:55 > 1:01:58The head of the Army will warn today that Britain's military risks

1:01:58 > 1:01:59falling behind potential enemies unless it gets

1:01:59 > 1:02:03additional investment.

1:02:03 > 1:02:07In a speech to defence experts, General Sir Nick Carter is expected

1:02:07 > 1:02:10to say that Russia now has superior battlefield capabilities to the UK,

1:02:10 > 1:02:13and poses a significant threat in terms of cyber warfare.

1:02:13 > 1:02:21His comments have been authorised by the Defence Secretary.

1:02:26 > 1:02:29A charity says one in three young women in the UK are embarrassed

1:02:29 > 1:02:31to attend smear tests for cervical cancer, because of

1:02:31 > 1:02:39body image issues.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42More than 2000 women, aged between 25 and 35, were surveyed

1:02:42 > 1:02:44by Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

1:02:44 > 1:02:46The charity says it is worried about the impact on screening rates,

1:02:46 > 1:02:48which have fallen to a 20-year low.

1:02:48 > 1:02:51Ukip's deputy leader has resigned in protest over Henry Bolton's

1:02:51 > 1:02:55decision not to step down as party leader.

1:02:55 > 1:03:01She has been joined by John Bickley, Ukip's immigrations boatswain. Henry

1:03:05 > 1:03:06national executive.

1:03:06 > 1:03:08The former Treasury minister and Remain supporter, Lord O'Neill,

1:03:08 > 1:03:11says the British economy should perform better this year than many

1:03:11 > 1:03:12opponents of Brexit had predicted.

1:03:12 > 1:03:15He said the UK's growth forecasts were likely to be upgraded -

1:03:15 > 1:03:17because of increased demand from China, America

1:03:17 > 1:03:22and continental Europe.

1:03:22 > 1:03:24Detectives are continuing to investigate the fatal stabbing

1:03:24 > 1:03:26of an 8-year-old girl in the West Midlands.

1:03:26 > 1:03:28Mylee Billingham was named by police as the schoolgirl

1:03:28 > 1:03:30who died at an address near Walsall on Saturday.

1:03:30 > 1:03:32A 54-year-old man, understood to be her father, was arrested

1:03:32 > 1:03:33in connection with the attack.

1:03:33 > 1:03:41He remains in a critical condition in hospital.

1:03:44 > 1:03:46The authorities in Mexico say more than 25 thousand people

1:03:46 > 1:03:49were murdered in the country last year - about 500 every week.

1:03:49 > 1:03:52The majority were in states where drug cartels are deeply entrenched.

1:03:52 > 1:03:55But Mexico City and the tourist areas of Baja California also saw

1:03:55 > 1:04:03murder rates rise 400%.

1:04:03 > 1:04:05The US federal government will remain closed today

1:04:41 > 1:04:44And you have given me an enormous honour, and I am so deeply,

1:04:44 > 1:04:46deeply honoured and proud to receive

1:04:46 > 1:04:53this magnificent award.

1:04:53 > 1:05:00That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10.30pm.

1:05:00 > 1:05:03Lots of you have been getting in touch on the stories we're talking

1:05:14 > 1:05:17We have a text about lithium batteries, we were discussing the

1:05:17 > 1:05:22dangers of children swallowing them. This says, it is really thoughtful

1:05:22 > 1:05:25you highlighting the risks, I am helping a family that lost a

1:05:25 > 1:05:28three-year-old child who died after swallowing a flat battery

1:05:28 > 1:05:32unknowingly. It went and diagnosed until she died and a postmortem was

1:05:32 > 1:05:35performed. The problem is that it needs more awareness and publicity.

1:05:35 > 1:05:41I hope you can continue to work on this.

1:05:41 > 1:05:43Here's some sport now with Holly Hamilton.

1:05:52 > 1:05:54making quick work of him too in under two hours.

1:05:54 > 1:06:02He'll face Czech Tomas Berdych next.

1:06:05 > 1:06:11It is their 26th meeting.We have had some good ones over the years,

1:06:11 > 1:06:16going back all the way to the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004. I

1:06:16 > 1:06:19am looking forward to playing against him. He seems in good shape,

1:06:19 > 1:06:26he is over his back issues and that is a good thing.

1:06:26 > 1:06:29Novak Djokovic is in action right now, and he's having a tough time

1:06:29 > 1:06:30against Heung Chung.

1:06:30 > 1:06:33The Korean has taken the first set against the six-time

1:06:33 > 1:06:35winner in Melbourne.

1:06:35 > 1:06:37Meanwhile in the women's draw top seed Simona Halep has eased

1:06:37 > 1:06:44into the last eight with victory over Japan's Naomi Osaka.

1:06:44 > 1:06:46The Romanian came through a tight first set before racing away

1:06:46 > 1:06:49to a 6-3, 6-2 victory - showing no sign of the ankle injury

1:06:49 > 1:06:51she suffered in the first round.

1:07:04 > 1:07:08for the top four as his Spurs side drew 1-1 at Southampton.

1:07:08 > 1:07:11An own goal from Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez gave Saints

1:07:11 > 1:07:14the lead in the opening 15 minutes.

1:07:14 > 1:07:16Then came Kane's equaliser.

1:07:16 > 1:07:19Spurs miss out on the chance to go level with fourth-placed Liverpool

1:07:22 > 1:07:25Commentary of that game on BBC Radio five live from seven o'clock.

1:07:30 > 1:07:34You know, you watch everybody else play and win and then you have to do

1:07:34 > 1:07:39the same. That makes it more difficult. Obviously there are still

1:07:39 > 1:07:43a very long way to go, lots of ups and downs, I am sure. We just need

1:07:43 > 1:07:47to keep working hard, keep fighting. That is obviously the aim.

1:07:47 > 1:07:49Mark Allen hopes his Masters victory over Kyren Wilson will lead

1:07:49 > 1:07:51to "bigger and better things."

1:07:51 > 1:07:53Allen's 10-7 victory makes him the first Northern Irishman

1:08:14 > 1:08:17I felt calm all week except for the first session today.

1:08:17 > 1:08:18I was on edge.

1:08:18 > 1:08:20As the match went on, I got stronger.

1:08:20 > 1:08:27I felt more at ease with myself.

1:08:27 > 1:08:30Yeah, I am just very, very pleased to be on the right

1:08:30 > 1:08:31end of it for a change.

1:08:56 > 1:08:57That's all your sport for now.

1:08:57 > 1:09:03I'll have the latest at 10.30am.

1:09:03 > 1:09:06Thank you. I want to get some more of your comments before I move on.

1:09:06 > 1:09:09We have been talking about women being too embarrassed about their

1:09:09 > 1:09:15bodies to go for a smear test. Dawn tweeted to say, a smear test saved

1:09:15 > 1:09:18my life. Please, have it done, quick, easy and a possible

1:09:18 > 1:09:24life-saver. Bill says it affects families through wives, mothers,

1:09:24 > 1:09:28daughters etc. Don't avoid it. Anonymous, my ex-girlfriend of 27

1:09:28 > 1:09:33years didn't know what a smear test was. Better awareness is needed.

1:09:33 > 1:09:38Finally, Anne on Facebook says she had a smear test and it showed an

1:09:38 > 1:09:42abnormality, which turned out to be cervical erosion. I was having

1:09:42 > 1:09:49bleeding after sex and was due a smear, so mentioned it to the nurse.

1:09:49 > 1:09:56They also found a cyst on my cervix. Please go for your spears, ladies.

1:09:56 > 1:09:59-- smears.

1:09:59 > 1:10:01The former Treasury minister and Remain supporter, Lord O'Neill,

1:10:01 > 1:10:03has told the BBC he think the British economy should perform

1:10:03 > 1:10:06better this year than many opponents of Brexit had predicted.

1:10:06 > 1:10:08He believes that UK growth forecasts will be upgraded -

1:10:08 > 1:10:10because of increased demand from China, America

1:10:10 > 1:10:11and continental Europe.

1:10:11 > 1:10:14It comes as a survey of MPs suggests many of them changed their views

1:10:14 > 1:10:22on the impact of Brexit.

1:10:22 > 1:10:25The majority of conservative MPs now agree with Theresa May that Britain

1:10:25 > 1:10:28must leave the single market - but the vast majority

1:10:28 > 1:10:33of Jeremy Corbyn's MPs disagree with him that this is the way to go.

1:10:33 > 1:10:36Lord O'Neill said that the economic performance post wrecks it might

1:10:36 > 1:10:45surprise many.I certainly wouldn't have thought the UK economy would be

1:10:45 > 1:10:48as robust as it currently seems. But that is because it looks to me like

1:10:48 > 1:10:52some parts of the country, led by the Northwest, are actually doing

1:10:52 > 1:10:58way better than people seem to realise or appreciate, as well as

1:10:58 > 1:11:02this crucial fact that the rest of the world is doing way better than

1:11:02 > 1:11:06many people would have thought a year ago. It makes it easier for the

1:11:06 > 1:11:12UK. If this turns out to be borne out with more and more data in

1:11:12 > 1:11:19coming months, the Brexiteers are going to be like a cat with the

1:11:19 > 1:11:23cream, they will say, I told you so, which is ridiculous.

1:11:23 > 1:11:26Let's talk now to Labour MP Heidi Alexander who is campaigning

1:11:26 > 1:11:28for the Labour Party to push for the UK to remain

1:11:28 > 1:11:29in the single market.

1:11:29 > 1:11:35Anne-Marie Trevelyan is a pro-Brexit Conservative MP.

1:11:35 > 1:11:42Good morning. That is a message of optimism from Lord O'Neill?What we

1:11:42 > 1:11:45have seen with respect to the economy as the UK going from the

1:11:45 > 1:11:48fastest-growing in the G7 to the slowest growing. We are actually

1:11:48 > 1:11:53being dragged along by the strength of the European economy at the

1:11:53 > 1:11:58moment. We have seen the pound devalued. We have not taken a hit to

1:11:58 > 1:12:01exports as much as we perhaps predicted. There are underlying

1:12:01 > 1:12:08problems there.Not just about Europe, he is saying Britain's

1:12:08 > 1:12:11forecasts are going to get graded as China and America show increased

1:12:11 > 1:12:16activity, it is a global picture?I think there is increasing

1:12:16 > 1:12:19uncertainty among business, business leaders decided to delay investment

1:12:19 > 1:12:23decisions. I think it is incredibly important that we stay in a European

1:12:23 > 1:12:28customs union said that we have tariff free trade on goods within

1:12:28 > 1:12:31the European Union and because services, financial services,

1:12:31 > 1:12:35insurance companies, are so critical to our economy. It accounts for 80%

1:12:35 > 1:12:38of the service industry. We need to find a way to ensure that those

1:12:38 > 1:12:41businesses can continue to trade freely and easily with other

1:12:41 > 1:12:47European countries. For me, that means staying in the single market

1:12:47 > 1:12:51and staying in the European Economic Area.I guess you share that

1:12:51 > 1:12:55optimism?It is lovely to hear Lord O'Neill talking much more positively

1:12:55 > 1:13:02than he was during the Brexit campaign back in 2016. I think those

1:13:02 > 1:13:06of us who have been here for a long time and have seen that, that

1:13:06 > 1:13:08opening up of markets, the opportunity for global Britain to be

1:13:08 > 1:13:14a real thing within the trade, I am a north-east MP and the devaluation

1:13:14 > 1:13:17of the pound has been huge for exports, we have export markets

1:13:17 > 1:13:22opening all over the world. While meeting the Democratic mandate to

1:13:22 > 1:13:26leave the EU, which is what the British people gave us the most

1:13:26 > 1:13:30clear directions to do, staying within the customs union is not

1:13:30 > 1:13:35possible.Heidi, you are shaking head throughout. We will come back

1:13:35 > 1:13:38to you. Let's find out what the picture is amongst both of your

1:13:38 > 1:13:43party is and how views have changed.

1:13:43 > 1:13:46Anand Menon.

1:13:46 > 1:13:50Could you talk us through the most significant shifts?The most

1:13:50 > 1:13:55significant figures are since last year, a large number of Conservative

1:13:55 > 1:13:59MPs have come to believe that staying in the single market is

1:13:59 > 1:14:05incompatible with Brexit. 40% last year, now it is 70%. On the Labour

1:14:05 > 1:14:08benches, around 90% of Labour MPs say they would like to see Britain

1:14:08 > 1:14:11stay in a single market and think it would be compatible with Brexit,

1:14:11 > 1:14:16putting them at odds with the formal position of their leadership.When

1:14:16 > 1:14:21it comes to the Labour Party, as you said, the survey shows Labour MPs

1:14:21 > 1:14:24are deeply against Jeremy Corbyn on the matter of the single market, but

1:14:24 > 1:14:28also very concerned about our economic future?There is a very

1:14:28 > 1:14:33clear difference across the aisle. Both sides of the house are not

1:14:33 > 1:14:37exactly rosy about prospects over the next year, but it is very clear

1:14:37 > 1:14:40that over 80% of Conservative MPs think the economy will do well over

1:14:40 > 1:14:44the next ten years after Brexit, whereas only a small number of

1:14:44 > 1:14:48Labour MPs share that optimism.You gave MPs a choice of four different

1:14:48 > 1:14:51types of Brexit to choose from. What were they and what do the results

1:14:51 > 1:14:59show?It ranged from remaining in the single market and Customs union

1:14:59 > 1:15:05to leaving with no deal. Labour MPs overwhelmingly favour staying in a

1:15:05 > 1:15:08single market. Conservative MPs have come around the Prime Minister's

1:15:08 > 1:15:11thinking, that we should leave the single market and customs union. On

1:15:11 > 1:15:18that score, she seems to have the backing of her.They also vary

1:15:18 > 1:15:22significantly on whether we should favour no deal over a bad deal. What

1:15:22 > 1:15:25did you find?Significantly more Conservative MPs think a no deal is

1:15:25 > 1:15:33a acceptable outcome. Very few Labour MPs do. It seems like the

1:15:33 > 1:15:36government itself is less keen on no deal, there is less talk about it

1:15:36 > 1:15:40being better than a bad deal than before the election.Thank you.

1:15:40 > 1:15:44Heidi, I want to come back to you. I want to talk about some of those

1:15:44 > 1:15:47findings. Jeremy Corbyn has been pretty clear in his view that

1:15:47 > 1:15:51leaving the EU means leaving the single market. It looks like 90% of

1:15:51 > 1:15:57Labour MPs disagree with that. Why so much opposition?If you look at

1:15:57 > 1:16:02how you might stay in the single market, remaining part of the

1:16:02 > 1:16:05European Economic Area, essentially being a bit like Norway, so

1:16:05 > 1:16:10countries like Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein, they are not in the EU

1:16:10 > 1:16:14and are not subject to the treaty on the function of the European Union,

1:16:14 > 1:16:18but they are part of the European Economic Area and they can trade

1:16:18 > 1:16:23freely and easily with other European countries. If you listen to

1:16:23 > 1:16:25what Labour Party members are saying, they overwhelmingly want to

1:16:25 > 1:16:29stay in the single market and customs union. If you listen to what

1:16:29 > 1:16:33the CBI is saying about staying in a customs union...That is at odds

1:16:33 > 1:16:37with the leader of the party, isn't that a big problem if you are not

1:16:37 > 1:16:40united and the opposition needs to have a united stand going into

1:16:40 > 1:16:44crucial negotiations if they want to impact what is happening next

1:16:48 > 1:16:53We've got a big problem for the country at the moment and it is

1:16:53 > 1:16:56incumbent on Parliament irrespective of their party to do what they

1:16:56 > 1:16:59believe is right for the country and to protect the economy. On those

1:16:59 > 1:17:04figures we were talking about earlier, even if 10% of the

1:17:04 > 1:17:08Conservative Party in Parliament believed that we should stay in the

1:17:08 > 1:17:12single market, and if they were minded to vote that way in the

1:17:12 > 1:17:17division lobbies, then Theresa May's government could be defeated on

1:17:17 > 1:17:21this. What I sense from Conservative MPs, especially what happened just

1:17:21 > 1:17:27before Christmas when the government were defeated on the EU Withdrawal

1:17:27 > 1:17:32Bill, is that a number of Anne-Marie's colleagues are starting

1:17:32 > 1:17:38to think really really hard about the impact and their constituents

1:17:38 > 1:17:41about jobs, investment, livelihoods. I think this year we could see some

1:17:41 > 1:17:48very, very interesting folks coming up.Anne-Marie, is it a case of hope

1:17:48 > 1:17:51over actual analysis when it comes to the Conservative Party? If there

1:17:51 > 1:17:55has been a significant shift against staying in the single market amongst

1:17:55 > 1:17:59Tory MPs, is that the genuine belief held in the party or is it about

1:17:59 > 1:18:05party loyalty?The EU Withdrawal Bill went through the house with

1:18:05 > 1:18:15only one amendment. I hunted members were put the Conservative Party and

1:18:15 > 1:18:18MPs have supported what the Prime Minister put forwards. It is very

1:18:18 > 1:18:23clear, we cannot stay in the single market and customs union without

1:18:23 > 1:18:26also maintaining freedom of movement. The British people were

1:18:26 > 1:18:30absolutely clear. The challenge of a referendum and its bluntness is that

1:18:30 > 1:18:35the message was very clear. We want to come out of the EU because we no

1:18:35 > 1:18:39longer want to be under EU jurisdiction nor to have this free

1:18:39 > 1:18:43movement of people. We want to take control of what we are doing. The

1:18:43 > 1:18:49reality is we cannot just revert to what was the case, we have to find a

1:18:49 > 1:18:53way forward. The EU don't want no deal, we don't want no deal. We have

1:18:53 > 1:18:58to find a way forward is which is a new positive relationship.Emmanuel

1:18:58 > 1:19:02Macron has said over the weekend that conditions for accessing the

1:19:02 > 1:19:08single market are strict and non-negotiable.It's very clear, if

1:19:08 > 1:19:12you stay in the single market you have to maintain freedom of

1:19:12 > 1:19:15movement, therefore we cannot stay in the single market. The British

1:19:15 > 1:19:18people were very clear that that is not what they want to continue to

1:19:18 > 1:19:22have. We want control of immigration and therefore need to step out of

1:19:22 > 1:19:28the single market.Ed Vaizey said yesterday that the government is now

1:19:28 > 1:19:32considering staying in the cost union. It's changing on a day-to-day

1:19:32 > 1:19:39basis. We're not that I'm aware of. The word single market were not on

1:19:39 > 1:19:43the ballot paper in the referendum. The words immigration were not on

1:19:43 > 1:19:47the ballot paper. I remember the now Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

1:19:47 > 1:19:52running around the country with a big red bus claiming that there

1:19:52 > 1:19:57would be £350 million extra per week to go into the NHS. If a tiny

1:19:57 > 1:20:04fraction of people who voted Leave voted for that reason, then there

1:20:04 > 1:20:09never has been a mandated be doing the sort Brexit Theresa May is

1:20:09 > 1:20:16currently going along the lines of. We will bring some breaking news of

1:20:16 > 1:20:20a union. The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the

1:20:20 > 1:20:26engagement of Princess Eugenie to Mr Jack Brooks bank. Her Royal Highness

1:20:26 > 1:20:31and Mr Brooks bank became engaged in Nicaragua earlier this month. The

1:20:31 > 1:20:39wedding will take place in the autumn of 2018. Further details to

1:20:39 > 1:20:45be announced in due course.

1:20:45 > 1:20:47Ukip's leader Henry Bolton is under increasing pressure

1:20:47 > 1:20:49after the party's national executive committee unanimously backed a vote

1:20:49 > 1:20:51of no confidence in him last night.

1:20:51 > 1:20:53This morning his deputy Margot Parker and the party's

1:20:53 > 1:20:55Immigration and Integration spokesman John Bickley have resigned

1:20:55 > 1:21:02calling for Mr Bolton to step aside.

1:21:02 > 1:21:05The row began after his former girlfriend she sent texts saying

1:21:05 > 1:21:08Prince Harry's fiancee Meghan Markle would "taint" the Royal Family,

1:21:08 > 1:21:09leading to accusations of racism.

1:21:09 > 1:21:17Our political correspondent Chris Mason is in Westminster for us.

1:21:23 > 1:21:31What can you tell us? Is this really the end of Ukip?That is the big

1:21:31 > 1:21:35question. At the heart of it is a bloke you would be forgiven for not

1:21:35 > 1:21:40knowing who he was. Henry Bolton, the leader of Ukip for the last

1:21:40 > 1:21:43couple of months. He previously spent time in the police and

1:21:43 > 1:21:48military. He got an OBE for his services to international security.

1:21:48 > 1:21:56He then popped up in politics as Ukip's umpteen leader in not a very

1:21:56 > 1:22:03long time. He quickly found himself in these shenanigans involving him,

1:22:03 > 1:22:07his ex-governor and those text messages, facing all sorts of people

1:22:07 > 1:22:11in the party saying he should walk the plank. Then along came a meeting

1:22:11 > 1:22:15of the party's NEC where unanimously there was the verdict he would go.

1:22:15 > 1:22:21There was actually one guy in the meeting who said he shouldn't, Mr

1:22:21 > 1:22:26Bolton himself. He says he's going to stick around. Then this morning

1:22:26 > 1:22:31we've had two further resignations, Margot Parker the deputy leader, MEP

1:22:31 > 1:22:35for the East Midlands. John Bickley beat integration and immigration

1:22:35 > 1:22:40spokesperson, they both said his judgment is shot through and he

1:22:40 > 1:22:43should disappear as leader. He is absolutely determined to stick

1:22:43 > 1:22:48around. What happens now is that there is going to be an emergency

1:22:48 > 1:22:53meeting in about four weeks' time, where any member of the party can

1:22:53 > 1:23:00turn up and have a vote, providing 250 in total turn up the meeting

1:23:00 > 1:23:05will be deemed legitimate. It's now the case that both sides in the

1:23:05 > 1:23:09argument, those who are supportive of Mr Bolton and those who aren't,

1:23:09 > 1:23:13have to try and persuade as many people as possible to give up a day

1:23:13 > 1:23:17of their weekend to come along and cast a vote. That will determine

1:23:17 > 1:23:21whether he carries on leading Ukip or doesn't.Fascinating stuff. Thank

1:23:21 > 1:23:24you.

1:23:24 > 1:23:28Still to come.

1:23:28 > 1:23:29The growing problem of homelessness.

1:23:29 > 1:23:32The number of people sleeping rough in England has risen

1:23:32 > 1:23:34for a sixth year in a row.

1:23:34 > 1:23:35From Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram -

1:23:35 > 1:23:37has social media had its day?

1:23:37 > 1:23:40A new study reckons we're falling out of favour with social media,

1:23:40 > 1:23:42because sites aren't regulated enough, they don't do enough

1:23:42 > 1:23:44to prevent bullying, and are failing to tackle the rise

1:23:44 > 1:23:45of fake news.

1:23:45 > 1:23:48The survey, by Edelman, taps in to a lot of concerns

1:23:48 > 1:23:51about the effect social media has on young people - from exacerbating

1:23:51 > 1:23:52worries about body image, to increasing feelings

1:23:52 > 1:23:59of depression, loneliness and anxiety.

1:23:59 > 1:24:01Amy Orben is a social media psychologist at

1:24:01 > 1:24:08the University of Oxford.

1:24:08 > 1:24:14Good morning. Are you surprised by what we've heard today?I don't

1:24:14 > 1:24:18think I am. What we've been having in the last few months is a fierce

1:24:18 > 1:24:24public debate about social media. These numbers that trust has been

1:24:24 > 1:24:27decreasing and really surprising. Naturally that is the outcome of

1:24:27 > 1:24:32such a debate. I guess what we think is worrying here at the University

1:24:32 > 1:24:39of Oxford is that this worry doesn't seem to be founded on evidence.

1:24:39 > 1:24:43What's factored into that debate? If you're saying this is inevitable

1:24:43 > 1:24:49after that discussion, is it fake news, is it an overload of

1:24:49 > 1:24:54information that people are getting? Is it being more aware of fake news

1:24:54 > 1:24:59being out there after the American election and the stories we are

1:24:59 > 1:25:04hearing on a day-to-day basis?I think we have a couple of debates

1:25:04 > 1:25:10going on at the moment. We have this problem with fake news and the

1:25:10 > 1:25:15election coverage. This has been heavily publicised in the media. We

1:25:15 > 1:25:22also have this debate about the well-being effects of social media,

1:25:22 > 1:25:27especially young children. That has been fuelled by a couple of very

1:25:27 > 1:25:31outspoken psychologists who published a book about these

1:25:31 > 1:25:37effects. But when we actually look at the data, the effects are

1:25:37 > 1:25:42actually very, very small. We wouldn't say that social media can

1:25:42 > 1:25:47decrease well-being at the moment. Do you think we are going in a

1:25:47 > 1:25:51cycle? What will happen next? At the same time we are hearing that before

1:25:51 > 1:25:55it was newspapers are being killed off, traditional TV networks won't

1:25:55 > 1:26:00survive in the future, news outlets that is. Today we've heard the trust

1:26:00 > 1:26:04in traditional media and TV has jumped to a six-year high.I think

1:26:04 > 1:26:09with every new technology we have an uptake cycle. At the beginning

1:26:09 > 1:26:14people are very interested, but then quickly people become worried about

1:26:14 > 1:26:20new technologies. That's happened for many hundreds of years. In the

1:26:20 > 1:26:251500 with the printing press we had alarms about information overload. I

1:26:25 > 1:26:30think it's quite a natural progression, that people are

1:26:30 > 1:26:33becoming worried about new technologies and probably in the

1:26:33 > 1:26:39next few years that will balance out again. I think there will be peaks

1:26:39 > 1:26:43and troughs about trust in new technologies and I guess we are

1:26:43 > 1:26:48currently in one of those troughs. Why is this more pronounced with

1:26:48 > 1:26:52young people? One tenth of young adults say they've quit Facebook in

1:26:52 > 1:26:56the last year according to this research.I don't know if that's to

1:26:56 > 1:26:59do with trust. Young people are incredibly volatile in what they

1:26:59 > 1:27:03want to use and what social media platforms they want to use. What we

1:27:03 > 1:27:09are seeing is that with grandmothers and mothers and parents and teachers

1:27:09 > 1:27:12being on platforms like Facebook, young people are moving to other

1:27:12 > 1:27:16platforms. I don't know if that can be used as evidence that they trust

1:27:16 > 1:27:22social media less. I think it shows that they are the first to move to

1:27:22 > 1:27:27novel platforms where they can hang out with their own generation.

1:27:27 > 1:27:31Interesting that last month Facebook said for the first time using the

1:27:31 > 1:27:35site can lead to unhappiness, especially if you're scrolling

1:27:35 > 1:27:40through friends' updates without interacting.Yes, that's research

1:27:40 > 1:27:49done at Facebook. We do find that certain types of social media use

1:27:49 > 1:27:53might be more detrimental to well-being. I think this is the

1:27:53 > 1:27:57first step to providing some really important nuance in the debate. At

1:27:57 > 1:28:01the moment we are debating about whether social media increases or

1:28:01 > 1:28:07decreases well-being. There are so many different types of social media

1:28:07 > 1:28:11use and different contexts and ways that we need to actually start

1:28:11 > 1:28:18disentangling these are facts. I guess Facebook has started this

1:28:18 > 1:28:22debate in the public at the moment which has been present in academia

1:28:22 > 1:28:25for quite a long time.Do you think tighter regulation would mean more

1:28:25 > 1:28:33trust?I don't think I can give an opinion on that. I think naturally

1:28:33 > 1:28:36that would be where we are going at the moment. I think what is

1:28:36 > 1:28:43important is that we do more research in the area so that the

1:28:43 > 1:28:47public and policymakers can really make their decisions on strong

1:28:47 > 1:28:50evidence and not just public debates.Thank you for joining us

1:28:50 > 1:28:56this morning. Lots of you have been getting in touch about cervical

1:28:56 > 1:29:04cancer. This e-mail says, I'm 53 and have only ever had one smear test. I

1:29:04 > 1:29:07ignored all reminder letters for similar reasons to other viewers.

1:29:07 > 1:29:14Too busy, too embarrassed. In March 2017 after having sciatica symptoms

1:29:14 > 1:29:18for 18 months I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. The tumour was very

1:29:18 > 1:29:24large and had spread. Needless to say my prognosis was poor. In the

1:29:24 > 1:29:27following months I've undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy, with all

1:29:27 > 1:29:31the side effects. Although the treatment has managed to control the

1:29:31 > 1:29:35disease it can't be cleared and I've recently been told I only have

1:29:35 > 1:29:38months to live. This is all my own fault because I was stupid enough to

1:30:51 > 1:30:54says the British economy should perform better this year than many

1:30:54 > 1:30:55opponents of Brexit had predicted.

1:30:55 > 1:30:58He said the UK's growth forecasts were likely to be upgraded -

1:30:58 > 1:31:00because of increased demand from China, America

1:31:00 > 1:31:02and continental Europe.

1:31:02 > 1:31:05Is's front bench have resigned, putting further pressure on Henry

1:31:05 > 1:31:10Bolton. He is refusing to quit over racist remarks made by his former

1:31:27 > 1:31:28body image issues.

1:31:28 > 1:31:31More than 2000 women, aged between 25 and 35, were surveyed

1:31:31 > 1:31:32by Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

1:31:32 > 1:31:35The charity says it is worried about the impact on screening rates,

1:31:58 > 1:32:03after a vote of no-confidence. We will bring you more on that a little

1:32:03 > 1:32:10bit later. First, let's get some sport.

1:32:10 > 1:32:15Coming up later, familiarity will not breed contempt for Roger

1:33:14 > 1:33:16Yarnold is aiming to become the first British Winter Olympian

1:33:16 > 1:33:18to retain her title, with her success in

1:33:18 > 1:33:24Sochi four years ago.

1:33:24 > 1:33:26The number of people sleeping rough in England has risen

1:33:26 > 1:33:28for the past six years in a row.

1:33:28 > 1:33:31Last January it was found that more than 4000 people had bedded down

1:33:31 > 1:33:34outside during the previous year - and on Thursday we find

1:33:34 > 1:33:39out whether that number has risen yet again.

1:33:39 > 1:33:42The winter months can be deadly for those forced to sleep outside,

1:33:42 > 1:33:44and many rely on emergency night shelters when temperatures

1:33:44 > 1:33:46drop below zero.

1:33:46 > 1:33:47But not all small have these shelters,

1:33:47 > 1:33:49particularly in rural areas.

1:33:49 > 1:33:52Reporter Seb Chowdry from the BBC's Inside Out West programme has spent

1:33:52 > 1:33:55the night in Weston Super Mare, in the south-west on England,

1:33:55 > 1:34:03where the nearest shelter is in Bristol, 18 miles away.

1:34:08 > 1:34:10Well, we've got a freezing night ahead across North Somerset,

1:34:10 > 1:34:12and on the coastal fringes temperatures probably about -2

1:34:12 > 1:34:20to -4, and there may well be some fog around as well.

1:34:20 > 1:34:21Well, that's not good news, especially as I'm

1:34:21 > 1:34:23going to try to sleep out tonight in Weston-Super-Mare.

1:34:23 > 1:34:26It's one of many places in our region where there

1:34:26 > 1:34:33are visibly more homeless people.

1:34:33 > 1:34:36We'll know exactly how bad the situation is when the latest

1:34:36 > 1:34:39rough sleeper figures are published later this week.

1:34:39 > 1:34:41And, while we all might walk past homeless people,

1:34:41 > 1:34:44how many of us really think about what it's like to be

1:34:44 > 1:34:46on the streets at night?

1:34:46 > 1:34:49He was froze out on the stretcher, he was gone.

1:34:49 > 1:34:50He froze?

1:34:50 > 1:34:51He froze, yeah.

1:34:51 > 1:34:52During the night.

1:34:52 > 1:34:57Hypothermia.

1:34:57 > 1:34:59It's freezing.

1:34:59 > 1:35:00Nothing could prepare me for what to expect.

1:35:00 > 1:35:03I don't know how long till sunrise, but this is really, really,

1:35:03 > 1:35:05really near impossible, it really is.

1:35:05 > 1:35:08I don't know how they do it.

1:35:08 > 1:35:14Could I make it to the morning?

1:35:17 > 1:35:19It's just after six o'clock in the evening

1:35:19 > 1:35:22here in Weston-Super-Mare.

1:35:22 > 1:35:25I'm told it's not a great place to be sleeping

1:35:25 > 1:35:27rough on the streets, because of the terrible

1:35:27 > 1:35:30temperatures.

1:35:30 > 1:35:33I have the luxury of actually going home any time I want

1:35:33 > 1:35:35to, these guys don't.

1:35:35 > 1:35:37And in that Victorian shelter just down the road

1:35:37 > 1:35:40there are a few of the guys who are sleeping there,

1:35:40 > 1:35:43I'm just going to go and introduce myself.

1:35:46 > 1:35:47Hello.

1:35:47 > 1:35:48Hello there.

1:35:48 > 1:35:55How are you?

1:35:55 > 1:35:57BBC?

1:35:57 > 1:35:59This shelter is being shared by Steve, Martin and Kev.

1:35:59 > 1:36:01Kev, what's it like at night here?

1:36:01 > 1:36:02Freezing.

1:36:02 > 1:36:03Is it?

1:36:03 > 1:36:04We just have to manage.

1:36:04 > 1:36:05Yeah?

1:36:05 > 1:36:06Yeah.

1:36:06 > 1:36:07Get into blankets and sleeping bags.

1:36:07 > 1:36:12How long have you been doing this?

1:36:12 > 1:36:13Seven months.

1:36:13 > 1:36:14Seven months?

1:36:14 > 1:36:15Yeah.

1:36:15 > 1:36:19Seven months in this?

1:36:19 > 1:36:20It's a familiar story.

1:36:20 > 1:36:26Steve's been sleeping rough in Weston for the past nine months.

1:36:26 > 1:36:28What's it like living like this?

1:36:28 > 1:36:35It's not very good, but it's life and you make it the best you can.

1:36:35 > 1:36:37It must feel like everyday is like this horrible

1:36:37 > 1:36:38cycle that you're in?

1:36:38 > 1:36:42I don't even want to wake up some mornings.

1:36:42 > 1:36:47I don't want to wake up, I just want to end.

1:36:47 > 1:36:49Oh, God.

1:36:49 > 1:36:50I can't take no more now.

1:36:50 > 1:36:54I'm still trying, but...

1:36:54 > 1:37:02Anyone says, I'd cope, you'd survive, yeah, but...

1:37:03 > 1:37:06Steve, Martin and Kev are being helped by local people

1:37:06 > 1:37:11who bring them hot drinks and food.

1:37:11 > 1:37:15They've also set up a Facebook page in the last few weeks to raise

1:37:15 > 1:37:18awareness and encourage more people to offer support.

1:37:18 > 1:37:22Joseph, hello, you're helping these guys out?

1:37:22 > 1:37:23Yeah, I've got warm food.

1:37:23 > 1:37:28You've got warm food?

1:37:28 > 1:37:35Do you think this is a problem that's ever going to get resolved?

1:37:35 > 1:37:38They easily put things on to attract people to Weston

1:37:38 > 1:37:41and they try to hide the other side of Weston, and there's

1:37:41 > 1:37:44things they can do, but I don't feel they do do.

1:37:44 > 1:37:47Everyone deserves a chance to be in a house and warm.

1:37:47 > 1:37:49Should be in a house.

1:37:49 > 1:37:52Not be out here in the cold.

1:37:52 > 1:37:54It really does upset you, doesn't it, Joe?

1:37:54 > 1:37:55Yeah.

1:37:55 > 1:37:58It's not right.

1:37:58 > 1:38:00It's eight o'clock.

1:38:00 > 1:38:02The group meet around this time each night before heading

1:38:02 > 1:38:05to different parts of the town, taking supplies to those in need.

1:38:05 > 1:38:13Hi, Heidi, I'm Seb.

1:38:13 > 1:38:15You guys have come to help?

1:38:15 > 1:38:17There's no night shelter here - the closest is Bristol.

1:38:17 > 1:38:19North Somerset Council estimates the number of rough sleepers

1:38:19 > 1:38:21in this area is seven, but the volunteers

1:38:21 > 1:38:24say it's much higher.

1:38:24 > 1:38:27We've calculated there's about 20 to 30 of them sleeping rough.

1:38:27 > 1:38:28As high as that?

1:38:28 > 1:38:30Yes.

1:38:30 > 1:38:34So what have they got wrong that you've seen?

1:38:34 > 1:38:37They're just not going out and doing what we're doing, having a search

1:38:37 > 1:38:38and finding them more.

1:38:38 > 1:38:41They're just waiting for them to go into the council office,

1:38:41 > 1:38:44but it can be daunting for them to go into that council

1:38:44 > 1:38:45office sometimes.

1:38:45 > 1:38:46Right.

1:38:46 > 1:38:49It needs sorting now.

1:38:53 > 1:38:56As Val takes me around the high street and boulevard,

1:38:56 > 1:38:58I'm amazed to see there's even someone sleeping outside

1:38:58 > 1:39:02the council offices.

1:39:02 > 1:39:05Do you want to go back up and get your food and that, yeah?

1:39:07 > 1:39:12Hello, what are you doing here?

1:39:12 > 1:39:15Do you want some biscuits?

1:39:15 > 1:39:18In the few hours we spend walking around, we see about ten rough

1:39:18 > 1:39:26sleepers in just a very small area.

1:39:31 > 1:39:32It's coming up to midnight or so.

1:39:32 > 1:39:37I've just left Val in the town centre, I'm heading down

1:39:37 > 1:39:39to the Victorian shelter where Kevin, Martin and Steve

1:39:39 > 1:39:42are setting down for the night.

1:39:42 > 1:39:45I'll be sleeping over there.

1:39:45 > 1:39:48I've just got to hope I can make it through the night, that's all.

1:39:51 > 1:39:57When I get back, Steve is struggling because of the cold.

1:39:57 > 1:39:59You need to cover yourself up, my friend.

1:39:59 > 1:40:01That's not properly...

1:40:01 > 1:40:03I'm OK.

1:40:03 > 1:40:06Tell me about your old life, Steve, what was that like?

1:40:06 > 1:40:07It was OK to start off with.

1:40:07 > 1:40:08I married and had kids.

1:40:08 > 1:40:10You were married, were you?

1:40:10 > 1:40:11Yeah.

1:40:11 > 1:40:13How long were you married for?

1:40:13 > 1:40:14Ten years.

1:40:14 > 1:40:15Really?

1:40:15 > 1:40:17Do your kids keep in touch?

1:40:17 > 1:40:19No.

1:40:19 > 1:40:22Never see my kids.

1:40:22 > 1:40:23Do they know you're here?

1:40:23 > 1:40:24No.

1:40:24 > 1:40:25Do you miss them?

1:40:25 > 1:40:28Yeah.

1:40:28 > 1:40:29Do you think about your old life?

1:40:29 > 1:40:31Yeah, course, every time.

1:40:31 > 1:40:35I always see my children...

1:40:35 > 1:40:36Do you?

1:40:36 > 1:40:41Yeah, in my mind.

1:40:41 > 1:40:43Steve, I don't know how you do this.

1:40:43 > 1:40:44It's...

1:40:44 > 1:40:50It's seriously, seriously cold.

1:40:50 > 1:40:54I'm not too bad now, now I'm inside this sleeping bag.

1:40:54 > 1:40:57It feels like I'm living back in a house again,

1:40:57 > 1:41:02nice and warm, in my bed.

1:41:02 > 1:41:03Is that how you picture it?

1:41:03 > 1:41:04Yeah.

1:41:04 > 1:41:07This is my home.

1:41:07 > 1:41:10If I could rent this off the council, I'd rent it and I'd

1:41:10 > 1:41:13block it all off and put a door there so I can shut the door

1:41:13 > 1:41:20and just have my own little space.

1:41:22 > 1:41:28At around 2am, I attempt to settle down.

1:41:31 > 1:41:39This is about the only way I can keep warm here.

1:41:41 > 1:41:49This is, this is freezing.

1:42:03 > 1:42:06No matter how hard I try, I just can't get to sleep.

1:42:13 > 1:42:16It's about...

1:42:16 > 1:42:184.30 at the moment.

1:42:18 > 1:42:22It's impossible, absolutely impossible.

1:42:22 > 1:42:26I've got so many layers on but it's just getting colder and colder.

1:42:26 > 1:42:33I think it's about four hours to go until sunrise.

1:42:33 > 1:42:36Some of those guys in there, they've got terrible coughs,

1:42:36 > 1:42:39they've been coughing all night.

1:42:39 > 1:42:40Absolutely freezing.

1:42:40 > 1:42:47It's near impossible to survive this.

1:42:47 > 1:42:49I'm going to go back in there and try to sleep

1:42:49 > 1:42:52a little bit at least.

1:42:52 > 1:42:55The number of rough sleepers across the region has almost doubled

1:42:55 > 1:43:00in the last four years.

1:43:00 > 1:43:02When it gets below freezing for more than three nights on the trot,

1:43:02 > 1:43:04emergency accommodation should be offered to anyone forced

1:43:04 > 1:43:08to sleep outside.

1:43:08 > 1:43:11One of the reasons is to try and prevent deaths, but we've been

1:43:11 > 1:43:19told in the last year alone at least 15 people have died on the streets.

1:43:20 > 1:43:23So it's ten to seven, most of the time there

1:43:23 > 1:43:26was freezing fog around, I'll show you on the top of the car,

1:43:26 > 1:43:32look at that, a lot of frost there.

1:43:32 > 1:43:34It's not just me who's had trouble tonight.

1:43:34 > 1:43:36Even for Martin, who's used to this, sleeping in these

1:43:36 > 1:43:39conditions is a struggle.

1:43:39 > 1:43:41You OK, Martin?

1:43:41 > 1:43:43How was the night?

1:43:43 > 1:43:44Cold.

1:43:44 > 1:43:47It was cold, wasn't it?

1:43:47 > 1:43:49That's just a mild night last night.

1:43:49 > 1:43:50That was a mild one?

1:43:50 > 1:43:55Not as cold as it normally is.

1:43:55 > 1:43:59Martin, there's a few guys who've died recently, haven't they?

1:43:59 > 1:44:03Yeah, there was one up there in the next shelter up,

1:44:03 > 1:44:06he was froze out on the stretcher, he was gone.

1:44:06 > 1:44:07He froze?

1:44:07 > 1:44:09Yeah, he froze, yeah.

1:44:09 > 1:44:12During the night.

1:44:12 > 1:44:14Hypothermia, I think.

1:44:14 > 1:44:15That must be scary?

1:44:15 > 1:44:18Yeah, it is.

1:44:18 > 1:44:24You've got to brave it out, because I've got no choice.

1:44:24 > 1:44:29With wintry weather like this, it's hardly surprising it takes its toll.

1:44:29 > 1:44:33Steve is at a point where he's desperate for help.

1:44:33 > 1:44:34I'm too old for all this.

1:44:34 > 1:44:38I need help with my drink, because I'm an alcoholic.

1:44:38 > 1:44:40I need help with my eyesight, to get my eyesight back

1:44:40 > 1:44:44so I can see what I'm doing.

1:44:44 > 1:44:49I don't want to live like this no more.

1:44:49 > 1:44:50Thank you.

1:44:50 > 1:44:51Look after yourself.

1:44:51 > 1:44:57I will.

1:44:57 > 1:45:01For me, luckily, this was just one night.

1:45:01 > 1:45:03See you, boys.

1:45:03 > 1:45:06See you.

1:45:11 > 1:45:17It was really difficult to say goodbye to Steve and Martin there.

1:45:17 > 1:45:20I've really bonded with them, I've been here 14 hours,

1:45:20 > 1:45:24got to know them, spent the night in that shelter over there.

1:45:24 > 1:45:26It's really difficult, it's stressful when you don't know

1:45:26 > 1:45:30who might just creep up on you, and what really struck me is how

1:45:30 > 1:45:37easily you can just lose morale.

1:45:37 > 1:45:38You know?

1:45:38 > 1:45:40And because of the cold, and because of the just

1:45:40 > 1:45:43intense hopelessness, you can just lose the will to do

1:45:43 > 1:45:49anything the next day.

1:45:49 > 1:45:56It's a very, very, very sad situation.

1:45:56 > 1:46:00That report from Seb Chowdry from the BBC's Inside Out West Programme.

1:46:00 > 1:46:08Well, North Somerset Council which covers the area told us:

1:46:16 > 1:46:18They also told us that they have discussed the possibility

1:46:18 > 1:46:24of setting up a night shelter.

1:46:24 > 1:46:26The Government told us they are providing over £1 billion

1:46:26 > 1:46:33pounds by 2020 to reduce all forms of homelessness and rough sleeping.

1:46:33 > 1:46:39I'm joined now by a spokesperson for the homeless charity Crisis. I want

1:46:39 > 1:46:45to get your response to the film.It is depressingly depicting the

1:46:45 > 1:46:51picture across the UK. Grassley pig has significantly increased since

1:46:51 > 1:46:582010. Across Britain we have an estimate of 4000 people sleeping

1:46:58 > 1:47:05rough on any given night -- rough sleeping has significantly increased

1:47:05 > 1:47:11since 2010. A lot of people and picked up by official statistics.

1:47:11 > 1:47:16That was Weston-Super-Mare, what we know about the national picture?

1:47:16 > 1:47:19Nationally we see homelessness increasing everywhere, particularly

1:47:19 > 1:47:23high demand areas where housing is a problem. London is an obvious point

1:47:23 > 1:47:30but other parts of the country such as Manchester, homelessness on the

1:47:30 > 1:47:36streets has increased. It's the same in Scotland and Wales. The lead

1:47:36 > 1:47:39calls of homelessness at the moment is the end of a privately rented

1:47:39 > 1:47:43tenancy. It's the situation of secure housing we have across the UK

1:47:43 > 1:47:48at the moment.What about the challenges when it comes to engaging

1:47:48 > 1:47:52rough sleepers? People watching at home, having heard that statement

1:47:52 > 1:47:56from the council saying we tried to offer help but some people refuse

1:47:56 > 1:48:03it, why is that?In some situations, when people are homeless, it can be

1:48:03 > 1:48:08more complex than others. Not everybody sleeping rough has very

1:48:08 > 1:48:11complex needs and actually they have a significant problem with housing

1:48:11 > 1:48:15and they just need to be rehoused into permanent accommodation. For

1:48:15 > 1:48:18others with more complex needs, they need a really good package of

1:48:18 > 1:48:25support. At the moment that's not necessarily available. We've seen

1:48:25 > 1:48:28funding cut significantly from the support services. Even if they are

1:48:28 > 1:48:32offered a place in a hostel there is not necessarily the money there to

1:48:32 > 1:48:37provide them the support they need. The history of that experience again

1:48:37 > 1:48:40means people may be distrust the system.What about the government

1:48:40 > 1:48:45saying they are spending £1 billion to help homeless people?We seen

1:48:45 > 1:48:49some really good investments in the recent budgets both in terms of

1:48:49 > 1:48:53targeted at rough sleepers with high-level needs and those who

1:48:53 > 1:48:56literally need to get back into private renting. That's a really

1:48:56 > 1:49:01good step and we seen a manifesto commitment to end rough sleeping by

1:49:01 > 1:49:052027. What we really need is a more fundamental shift in how the country

1:49:05 > 1:49:10response to homelessness and for it to be much more rapid than it

1:49:10 > 1:49:19currently is, and housing led. It's about people being brought into

1:49:19 > 1:49:28their own permanent accommodation. World Cup winner Jimmie Armfield has

1:49:28 > 1:49:34died at the age of 82.

1:49:34 > 1:49:37died at the age of 82. He was also part of the victorious World Cup

1:49:37 > 1:49:43winning squad in 1966. He was diagnosed with cancer for a second

1:49:43 > 1:49:45time last year.

1:49:45 > 1:49:48There's to be another Royal Wedding in Windsor this year -

1:49:48 > 1:49:50Princess Eugenie has just got engaged to Jack Brookshank.

1:49:50 > 1:49:57Our royal correspondent Jonny Diamond is here.

1:49:57 > 1:50:03That's two royal weddings this year.

1:50:04 > 1:50:11There were rumours of an engagement in late 2016, now Buckingham Palace

1:50:11 > 1:50:15has confirmed it. Princess Eugenie will marry her long-term boyfriend

1:50:15 > 1:50:19Jack Brooksbank sometime in the autumn at St George's Chapel. The

1:50:19 > 1:50:23same chapel which will see the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan

1:50:23 > 1:50:28Markle in the spring. A busy time for the Royals.Is it significant

1:50:28 > 1:50:33it's going to be in the same venue? It's probably about the right size

1:50:33 > 1:50:39venue. It's going to take around 450 guests. Given a Princess Eugenie is

1:50:39 > 1:50:44the eighth in line to the throne it wouldn't have been a fast wedding at

1:50:44 > 1:50:48Westminster Abbey. It will be a rather smaller affair. Still fairly

1:50:48 > 1:50:51large and fairly heavily covered, certainly by royal watchers and

1:50:51 > 1:50:56people interested in the Royal family.There will no doubt be

1:50:56 > 1:51:03comparisons.There will be. The couple have met, we believe, there

1:51:03 > 1:51:07have been talk of double dates. Princess Eugenie probably hasn't

1:51:07 > 1:51:11been in the news as much as some of the other royals. She doesn't

1:51:11 > 1:51:15receive money from the public purse, she doesn't attend that many public

1:51:15 > 1:51:22functions. She has a full-time job, she works as associate director at

1:51:22 > 1:51:27an art gallery in central London and carries on in a relatively normal

1:51:27 > 1:51:30fashion, leading a relatively normal life. She's not one of the

1:51:30 > 1:51:36high-profile royals but someone most people know about.One final

1:51:36 > 1:51:40question to ask you, how much do we know about her fiance?We know

1:51:40 > 1:51:45something. He's privately educated, didn't go to university, works as

1:51:45 > 1:51:51the manager of a Mayfair nightclub, a place called Mahiki. They've been

1:51:51 > 1:51:57going out for seven years. They met in Switzerland in a ski resort.

1:51:57 > 1:52:01Rumours of engagement for some time now, confirmed now by Buckingham

1:52:01 > 1:52:07Palace.Thank you for bringing us all the details.

1:52:07 > 1:52:10A pioneering gene therapy has been cleared for use in Britain -

1:52:10 > 1:52:13which could help to save the lives of children born with

1:52:13 > 1:52:14a deadly immune disorder.

1:52:14 > 1:52:16It is the first gene therapy ever to be made made

1:52:16 > 1:52:19available on the NHS - and will give children the chance

1:52:19 > 1:52:22to have their faulty DNA rewritten.

1:52:22 > 1:52:24If left untreated, children with this gene mutation will die

1:52:24 > 1:52:26before they reach school age.

1:52:26 > 1:52:30The plan is for hospitals to start offering the therapy next month.

1:52:30 > 1:52:33Maria and Stuart Vinen's son Henry was born with the faulty gene.

1:52:33 > 1:52:36He has survived thanks to a bone marrow transfusion from his brother,

1:52:36 > 1:52:44which means he now isn't eligible for this treatment.

1:52:48 > 1:52:52I imagine you have mixed feelings about the news that this is their

1:52:52 > 1:52:58appeal is now going to be offered here.I think it's really get.

1:52:58 > 1:53:04Actually we were lucky, we had a match with our son Oscar. For those

1:53:04 > 1:53:09people who haven't got a match and sat waiting watching their children

1:53:09 > 1:53:13deteriorate, I think it means they feel hope now that their child can

1:53:13 > 1:53:18have a chance at a normal life without having to wait for that

1:53:18 > 1:53:23all-important match.Can you tell us more about Henry's condition? What

1:53:23 > 1:53:28is it, how has it affected him?He has severe combined immune

1:53:28 > 1:53:37deficiency. They can't fight off colds. You wouldn't know when they

1:53:37 > 1:53:41were born that they had it. As time goes on they get more and more

1:53:41 > 1:53:47infections that they can't fight off. The only cure is a bone marrow

1:53:47 > 1:53:53transplant or gene therapy.What happened after that diagnosis?

1:53:53 > 1:53:59Because this is incredibly rare, I understand it was difficult and very

1:53:59 > 1:54:03upsetting in those stages when you weren't aware of what the condition

1:54:03 > 1:54:09was before it was diagnosed.For us, Henry is obviously my second baby,

1:54:09 > 1:54:14and he was persistently poorly. At three days old he had an eye

1:54:14 > 1:54:18infection, then he developed a cold which developed into a chest

1:54:18 > 1:54:25infection. I kept saying there's something wrong. After about six

1:54:25 > 1:54:31weeks we went to the hospital after much persistence and they said we

1:54:31 > 1:54:37think you may have meningitis. He had to have a lumbar puncture. After

1:54:37 > 1:54:41three days they said he'll be OK, he can go home, his cells are slightly

1:54:41 > 1:54:45abnormal but it's something we might review and a couple of months. Two

1:54:45 > 1:54:50days later he had really large ulcers in his mouth, the size of a

1:54:50 > 1:54:5650p piece. They said actually maybe you're depressed, maybe there's

1:54:56 > 1:55:02nothing wrong with him and it's in your head.How did that make you

1:55:02 > 1:55:07feel?I was so upset. At first you almost embarrassed, and then

1:55:07 > 1:55:12actually I thought, I'm a mum. It's my son, there's something wrong. We

1:55:12 > 1:55:18ended up going back to the hospital and demanding that someone see him

1:55:18 > 1:55:25who was suitably qualified. Within the space of under 24 hours I was

1:55:25 > 1:55:29being told to sit down with my husband and we think your son has

1:55:29 > 1:55:34got this rare condition, he will need a bone marrow transplant. To

1:55:34 > 1:55:38actually get a diagnosis is incredibly distressing. To convince

1:55:38 > 1:55:42people you're not going crazy, your child is consistently poorly, it's

1:55:42 > 1:55:46hard.Henry has now been given a bone marrow donation by his older

1:55:46 > 1:55:57brother Oscar. It's not a complete cure, is it?For Henry, he was very,

1:55:57 > 1:56:02very poorly. He was intensive care which meant he didn't have time for

1:56:02 > 1:56:18gene therapy. He doesn't actually have... His immune system cells

1:56:18 > 1:56:23don't work well. He has to have an expensive treatment weekly or

1:56:23 > 1:56:28biweekly. That replaces the cells he won't have a game back from having

1:56:28 > 1:56:34the transplant.Thank you all for joining us on the programme this

1:56:34 > 1:56:39morning. Let's return to that breaking news but the Blackpool and

1:56:39 > 1:56:44England football great Jimmy Armfield has died at the age of 82.

1:56:44 > 1:56:52We are joined from the sport newsroom with David who can tell us

1:56:52 > 1:56:59how significant he was at Blackpool FC.He was extremely significant at

1:56:59 > 1:57:04Blackpool FC where he was a one club man, playing over 600 games for

1:57:04 > 1:57:08Blackpool over a 17 year period, having made his debut against

1:57:08 > 1:57:13Portsmouth. Not just at Blackpool where he was a legendary figure but

1:57:13 > 1:57:18he was also part of the England World Cup winning squad in 1966. He

1:57:18 > 1:57:22didn't play in that tournament because of injury but he did receive

1:57:22 > 1:57:31his medal many years later in 2009 and will always be remembered for

1:57:31 > 1:57:35both an international perspective and a club perspective. There was a

1:57:35 > 1:57:39stand named after him at Blackpool and a statue erected in his honour.

1:57:39 > 1:57:46He went on to manage in football as well. Replacing the legendary Brian

1:57:46 > 1:57:52Clough at Leeds United. He led them to the European cup final in 1975.

1:57:52 > 1:57:58He was inducted into Blackpool's Hall of Fame and was also a BBC

1:57:58 > 1:58:02summariser, working for BBC five live for well over 30 years, most

1:58:02 > 1:58:06recently in January 2000 and seven. The tributes are flowing in already.
