0:00:20 > 0:00:23At least 17 people have died after a gunman opened fire at a high
0:00:24 > 0:00:25school campus in Florida.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27The suspect is a teenager who was believed to have
0:00:27 > 0:00:31been an expelled pupil.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35It is one of the US'a deadliest school attacks in recent years.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Nikolas Cruz Nikolas Cruz,I I was like that's not a drill, we never
0:00:41 > 0:00:47did a drill like that?How can this happen, this is a state that is
0:00:47 > 0:00:51focussed on keeping all the children safe. We come to the conclusion this
0:00:51 > 0:01:01is just absolutely pure evil.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Bethany Shipsey was just 21 years old when she died
0:01:03 > 0:01:05on an A&E trolley at Worcestershire Royal
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hospital after taking an overdose of diet pills.
0:01:07 > 0:01:07Yesterday a coroner ruled that the care the hospital gave her
0:01:18 > 0:01:23There is a new warning today processed foods could increase your
0:01:23 > 0:01:29chances of getting cancer. A team of French reSerbsearchs have been
0:01:29 > 0:01:33looking at what they call ultra processed foods. What are they, how
0:01:33 > 0:01:42dangerous are they? We will find out in the next hour.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Hello.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51We will be joined by
0:01:51 > 0:01:52We

0:02:06 > 0:02:11urging people to seek help earlier. Talking to him just after 10.30.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning -
0:02:14 > 0:02:17use the hashtag Victoria Live, and if you text, you will be charged
0:02:17 > 0:02:18at the standard network rate.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Our top story today - at least 17 people have been shot
0:02:21 > 0:02:24dead by a gunman at a high school in Florida.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Several other people are in hospital with serious
0:02:25 > 0:02:28injuries, after the attack at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
0:02:28 > 0:02:29school in Parkland, near Miami.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31It's the eighteenth shooting at an American school this year.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Police have named the suspect as 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz,
0:02:33 > 0:02:42a former student who had been expelled.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44This was supposed to be one of the safest communities
0:02:44 > 0:02:45in the country.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47In an instant, these students became helpless targets,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49sheltering in place and fearing for their lives.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Officials now suggest this was a well-planned plot to maximise
0:02:52 > 0:03:00the loss of life.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Just moments before the end of the school day, a former student
0:03:03 > 0:03:06reportedly pulled the fire alarm at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
0:03:06 > 0:03:07to draw out his unsuspecting victims.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10There had already been a drill earlier in the day but confused
0:03:10 > 0:03:17teachers followed procedure and began to exit the building.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21As soon the fire alarm got hold, and kids were evacuating,
0:03:21 > 0:03:21I heard five pops.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I was like, "That's not a drill."
0:03:23 > 0:03:28We never did a drill like that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31When we started evacuating back away towards the back,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34towards the the middle school, I knew it was more than a drill
0:03:34 > 0:03:35because we've never done that.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Armed with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, he began firing outside
0:03:37 > 0:03:42and then continued inside the school as panic and chaos erupted.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Police were warning the shooter was still at large, even
0:03:44 > 0:03:48as emergency workers rushed to treat those wounded.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51SWAT teams evacuated distressed students.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55In a row, some with hands in the air, others clinging to each
0:03:55 > 0:03:58other for support, they frantically rushed to safety.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I see you, I see you, I see you!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Parents, sick with, worry, waited for news.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04The suspect was arrested without incident an hour later
0:04:04 > 0:04:09in a neighbouring city.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Police identified him as Nikolas Cruz, who had been expelled.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18He was taken into custody, I believe, about an hour
0:04:18 > 0:04:21after he left Stoneman Douglas, after he committed this horrific,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25homicidal, detestable act.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29This is the 18th school shooting in the United States this year.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32It's a uniquely American epidemic that has only gotten worse.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yet this country is more divided than ever on how
0:04:34 > 0:04:43to solve the problem.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45The Governor of Florida, Rick Scott, said the shooting was pure evil.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47You're furious.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49How could this ever happen in this country?
0:04:49 > 0:04:50How could this happen in this state?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52This is a state that is focused on keeping all
0:04:53 > 0:04:54of our children safe.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56You come to the conclusion this is just absolutely
0:04:56 > 0:04:57pure evil.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58This state is not tolerating violence.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00We have law enforcement that will always show up
0:05:00 > 0:05:10to defend our safety.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I can't imagine the family, wondering if they have lost a family
0:05:21 > 0:05:25member, they don't know. Those that do know, I can't imagine how their
0:05:25 > 0:05:28lives have been changed.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29lives have been changed.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31We can cross live now to Florida and talk
0:05:31 > 0:05:33to Laura Podesta who's in Parkland.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Tell us what you some of the survivors and parents have been
0:05:36 > 0:05:39saying about how they reacted when they first heard shooting in their
0:05:39 > 0:05:47school.Good morning Victoria, from what we have eseen the survivors
0:05:47 > 0:05:53were just in shock, they, it was the end of the school day, they know
0:05:53 > 0:05:56that the suspect pulled the fire alarm in order to get people to
0:05:56 > 0:06:00leave the school quickly, it was chaos because they didn't know if it
0:06:00 > 0:06:05was a real fire, then they heard that pop, pop, sound. Then some
0:06:05 > 0:06:11teachers told students to just run, so, we have seen images of students
0:06:11 > 0:06:15leaving the school with their arms up, just trying to get to safety as
0:06:15 > 0:06:18quickly as possible. What are people saying, and
0:06:18 > 0:06:23obviously it will be part of the investigation, about the possible
0:06:23 > 0:06:29motivess for this former pupil to do this?Motives. Well, that is
0:06:29 > 0:06:31something that investigators are going to be discussing with the
0:06:31 > 0:06:37suspects today. He is in police custody. They have seen a trail on
0:06:37 > 0:06:41social media through Instagram, they have seen this suspect with a gun,
0:06:41 > 0:06:47those photos have been taken down, we presume by the family and
0:06:47 > 0:06:53replaced by messages of asking for sympathy, and apologies by the
0:06:53 > 0:06:58family, but we know there was a photo of this suspect holding a gun,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01and some violent messages that investigators are going to be
0:07:01 > 0:07:05sorting through, over the next days and weeks.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09And when Donald Trump, the President says that every child and teacher
0:07:09 > 0:07:13and anybody who goes to school on a daily basis deserves to be safe,
0:07:13 > 0:07:18what do people read into that? In terms of the debate on gun
0:07:18 > 0:07:23legislation in America?Well, I think that the parents of the
0:07:23 > 0:07:28students who were involved in this tragedy are going to read into that
0:07:28 > 0:07:32as the President is hopefully going to be putting his foot down when it
0:07:32 > 0:07:36comes to gun control. But I think a lot of people would read into that
0:07:36 > 0:07:39that maybe things need to change in other way, maybe there needs to be
0:07:39 > 0:07:44more of a focus on mental illness. Time will really tell when it comes
0:07:44 > 0:07:47to how the President's tweets are interpreted.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Thank you very much.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57We will have more in the morning. Now the rest of the morning news so
0:07:57 > 0:08:00far.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The ANC leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, will be sworn in as South Africa's
0:08:03 > 0:08:05new president later today , following the resignation
0:08:05 > 0:08:06of Jacob Zuma.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09His nine years in office has been marred by allegations
0:08:09 > 0:08:12of corruption and his own party, the ANC had threatened to force him
0:08:12 > 0:08:16out with a vote of no confidence.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Our Africa Editor, Fegal Keane, reports.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24The moment of decision came late, when the former guerrilla fighter
0:08:24 > 0:08:26at last recognised he could not win.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28President Jacob Zuma addressed to the South African
0:08:28 > 0:08:29nation and faced reality.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31The ANC should never be divided in my name.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I have therefore come to the decision to resign
0:08:33 > 0:08:43as president of the republic with immediate effect.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52A populist, a crowd pleaser, he appealed to the ANC grassroots
0:08:52 > 0:09:00and, with their backing, became party leader in 2009.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Even though he already faced serious corruption charges,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04it was his relationship with this family, the Guptas, Indian
0:09:04 > 0:09:06immigrants, that created the public outrage that finally forced
0:09:06 > 0:09:09the ANC to act.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12The Guptas are accused of using their connections
0:09:12 > 0:09:14with the president to acquire state enterprises and assets
0:09:14 > 0:09:20worth millions of pounds.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24So powerful, it is alleged, they could hire and fire
0:09:24 > 0:09:26cabinet ministers.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28By the end of this dramatic day, Jacob Zuma seemed friendless
0:09:28 > 0:09:30and politically isolated.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Resigning before he could be humiliated in Parliament.
0:09:31 > 0:09:39Fergal Keane, BBC News.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Zimbabwe's main opposition leader and former Prime Minister Morgan
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Tsvangirai has died.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46He was 65 and had cancer.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48He founded the Movement for Democratic Change,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51and his career was marked by a long political struggle against former
0:09:51 > 0:09:52President Robert Mugabe.
0:09:52 > 0:10:00He had been beaten and imprisoned numerous times.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02The consumption of highly-processed foods, including cakes,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04chicken nuggets and mass-produced bread is linked to the risk
0:10:04 > 0:10:06of cancer, according to researchers in France.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09The study of more than one hundred thousand people is published
0:10:09 > 0:10:10in the British Medical Journal.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Experts have expressed caution, but continue to advise eating
0:10:12 > 0:10:14a health balanced diet.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18a healthy balanced diet.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20The government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
0:10:20 > 0:10:22for a cyber attack last year, which affected businesses
0:10:22 > 0:10:23around the world.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
0:10:25 > 0:10:27was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
0:10:27 > 0:10:28and weaponising information".
0:10:28 > 0:10:35Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Sinn Fein is expected to outline its next move today
0:10:37 > 0:10:39following the collapse of negotiations to restore
0:10:39 > 0:10:40power-sharing at Stormont.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Talks ended yesterday when the Democratic Unionist Party
0:10:42 > 0:10:52said there was no prospect of a deal.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Both parties have been locked in negotiations for 13 months.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Oxfam has said it sacked its country director in Haiti last
0:11:00 > 0:11:01year for mismanagement.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04The charity said Damien Berrendorf had faced allegations
0:11:04 > 0:11:06of inappropriate behaviour, but it said his dismissal was not
0:11:06 > 0:11:11related to sexual misconduct, or the scandal in 2011 involving aid
0:11:11 > 0:11:14workers in Haiti paying local women for sex.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16The consumers' association, "Which", says faulty household appliances
0:11:16 > 0:11:19are causing about 60 fires every week in the UK.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21It says a third of fires are started by washing
0:11:21 > 0:11:22machines and tumble dryers.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25"Which" has written to ministers, giving them 90 days to draw up
0:11:25 > 0:11:31a plan to address the issue.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Dubious financial advisors exploited former steel workers
0:11:33 > 0:11:35in a pensions mis-selling scandal according to MPs.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38The Work and Pensions Select Committee says it cost the people
0:11:38 > 0:11:40involved thousands of pounds, and that the Financial Conduct
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Authority did too little to protect them after the closure
0:11:42 > 0:11:52of the British Steel Pension Scheme.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56More than a thousand driving bans were issued in 2017 to children
0:11:56 > 0:11:59who were not legally old enough to be behind the wheel of a car.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Some youngsters, aged 12 were included in the ban,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and the figure has risen by almost 50 %, over the past four years.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07The statistics were given to the BBC under the Freedom
0:12:07 > 0:12:08of Information Act.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13The RAC describe the numbers as "the tip of the iceberg".
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Differences in life expectancy between the richest and poorest
0:12:16 > 0:12:17neighbourhoods have widened according to a new report.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21The Longevity Science Panel found that, a boy born in one of the most
0:12:21 > 0:12:30affluent areas such as St Albans will outlive one born in one
0:12:30 > 0:12:33of the poorest such as Blackpool by nearly eight and a half years.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37It's very unfair in our society that the poor,
0:12:37 > 0:12:42particularly among the elderly, are already quite disadvantaged
0:12:42 > 0:12:45in terms of income and all kinds of other social
0:12:45 > 0:12:45and economic factors.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47And they're also more likely than their richer
0:12:47 > 0:12:51counterparts to die early.
0:12:51 > 0:12:58That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Let's get some sport, with Hugh.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07The WimbledonLots of debate about -- winter Olympics, lots of debate
0:13:07 > 0:13:15about the suits the GB were wearing in the skeleton.We have had it with
0:13:15 > 0:13:22swims suit ands and cycle wheels. The suits for skeleton have been
0:13:22 > 0:13:27causing a stir because of how well the sliders have been doing in the
0:13:27 > 0:13:31training runs ahead of competition. Questions have been asked,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34complaints made forcing the sports governing body to confirm they are
0:13:34 > 0:13:39in fact legal. They have special drag resistant ridges on these suit,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43the suggestion being made now it is all a bit of mind games from the
0:13:43 > 0:13:48other teams trying to unsettle those in the British team. The men's
0:13:48 > 0:13:51competition started today, Tom Parsons is currently out for, within
0:13:51 > 0:13:58touching distance of a medal. He is just 3 hundredths of a second from
0:13:58 > 0:14:01the bronze medal after two runs of the four he will have in total. He
0:14:01 > 0:14:07says in the meantime between the two final runs tomorrow he will chill
0:14:07 > 0:14:12out and read a book! Few mistakes on the first run. Probably a bit of
0:14:12 > 0:14:17race tension, just ended up overdriving a couple of bits and a
0:14:17 > 0:14:22bit off line, it is what it is, I am still in the mix so I'll take that.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28The other thing so far on day six the curling continues, so far today
0:14:28 > 0:14:32one win for the men, one defeat for the women.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Is And after the bad weather some skiing action.A host of
0:14:37 > 0:14:40postponement because of the weather in South Korea, only one event had
0:14:40 > 0:14:45taken place before today, and it eventually was the men's down hill,
0:14:45 > 0:14:50that has been postponed, got under way, Norway's skier becoming the
0:14:50 > 0:14:56oldest alpine skiing champion at the age of 35. His team-mate won silver
0:14:56 > 0:15:00with Switzerland's reigning World Champion taking bronze. He was
0:15:00 > 0:15:05disappointed with the sparse crowd at the alpine centre for the race.
0:15:05 > 0:15:12The women's Giant Slalom a nail you will hear a lot, Mikaela Shiffrin
0:15:12 > 0:15:15won what she hopes will be a slope load of golds. She did more than
0:15:15 > 0:15:21enough to win. She is back in the slalom which she won in Sochi four
0:15:21 > 0:15:31years ago tomorrow.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Man City had the record of the biggest away win in the Champions
0:15:35 > 0:15:41League for 24 hours after their win on Tuesday. Last night Liverpool won
0:15:41 > 0:15:465-0 at Porto. Saadi and money became the fourth Liverpool player in
0:15:46 > 0:15:57history to score a hat-trick -- Mane became the fourth Liverpool player.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02An incredible kit. They have scored an incredible 24 goals. Usually it
0:16:02 > 0:16:06is there to sell them, but I would suggest, they should keep wearing
0:16:06 > 0:16:12it. The other much predicted to be the try of the round, real Madrid
0:16:12 > 0:16:18against PSG, first leg, Madrid came from behind thanks in part to the
0:16:18 > 0:16:23goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, his 100th of the club, he scored another
0:16:23 > 0:16:30from his knee, and PSG very much relying on the two players that cost
0:16:30 > 0:16:35£350 million plus to get them back into it in the second leg. A
0:16:35 > 0:16:42brilliant game. It will be a brilliant second leg no doubt.Thank
0:16:42 > 0:16:51you very much. Good morning. Back to the top story.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57Just seven weeks into 2018 and America has witnessed its 18th
0:16:57 > 0:16:59school shooting this year - the eighth in which school children
0:16:59 > 0:17:01have been killed or injured.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03This time it's a community in Florida, recently named one
0:17:03 > 0:17:05of the safest in the country, which has seen another
0:17:05 > 0:17:07mass shooting.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09At least 17 people have been killed after a gunman
0:17:09 > 0:17:11opened fire with a rifle at Marjory Stoneman
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Douglas High School.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Police and Swat teams swarmed the campus and began evacuating
0:17:14 > 0:17:17terrified students from the school, about an hour north of Miami,
0:17:17 > 0:17:25as parents and ambulances gathered on the scene.
0:17:25 > 0:17:33The footage shows students cowering as gunshots ring out.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35In the panic, hundreds of students took shelter in classrooms
0:17:35 > 0:17:36and cupboards while emergency services methodically
0:17:36 > 0:17:40searched the school campus.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old former pupil who had been
0:17:43 > 0:17:49expelled from the school, has been arrested.
0:17:49 > 0:17:49He is has been arrested.
0:17:49 > 0:17:49He is in has been arrested.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50He is in custody. has been arrested.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Police say the shooting has devastated the community.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59We have a shooter in custody.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01He was taken into custody, I believe, about an hour
0:18:01 > 0:18:04after he left Stoneman Douglas, after he committed this horrific
0:18:04 > 0:18:07homicidal, detestable act.
0:18:07 > 0:18:14The FBI and our crime scene people will
0:18:14 > 0:18:16begin processing this horrific scene as soon
0:18:16 > 0:18:22as the buildings are cleared.
0:18:22 > 0:18:30Students and parents have been describing what they saw.That is
0:18:30 > 0:18:33not a drill, we have never done a drill like that. We started
0:18:33 > 0:18:37evacuating towards the back, the middle school, I knew it was more
0:18:37 > 0:18:42than a drill, we had never done that.We had to wait. We kept
0:18:42 > 0:18:48hearing shooting, we were not sure if it was fireworks, shooting, then
0:18:48 > 0:18:53it was on the news and we found out what was going on.We literally just
0:18:53 > 0:18:57came from there, picking up kids along the way, a lot of really
0:18:57 > 0:19:02distraught, as you can imagine. Just terrifying. Terrifying for the
0:19:02 > 0:19:04parents of the kids, very emotional.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07The Governor of Florida, Rick Scott, vowed to do everything
0:19:07 > 0:19:09in his power to ensure children were safe at school.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10You're furious.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12How could this ever happen in this country?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16How could this happen in this state?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19This is a state that is focused on keeping all
0:19:19 > 0:19:20of our children safe.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23You come to the conclusion this is just absolutely
0:19:23 > 0:19:25pure evil.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27This state is not tolerating violence.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29We have law enforcement that will always show up
0:19:29 > 0:19:36to defend our safety.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37The shooting will reignite the debate around tighter
0:19:38 > 0:19:40gun control in the US.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Florida is now the scene of one of the deadliest US school shootings
0:19:44 > 0:19:49since the 2012 attack at the Sandy Hook Elementary School
0:19:49 > 0:19:53in Connecticut where 20 children and six staff members were killed.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Chris Murphy is the Democratic Senator for Connecticut.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59He's made a passionate plea for action to be taken
0:20:00 > 0:20:05to prevent school shootings.
0:20:05 > 0:20:11This happens nowhere else other than the United States of America. This
0:20:11 > 0:20:25epidemic of mass slaughter, this is scourge of school shootings. It
0:20:25 > 0:20:30happens here not because of coincidence, not because of bad
0:20:30 > 0:20:42luck, but it is a consequence of our inaction. We are responsible. For a
0:20:42 > 0:20:45level of mass atrocity that happens in this country with zero parallel
0:20:45 > 0:20:54anywhere else. As a parent, it scares me to death that this body
0:20:54 > 0:21:01does not take seriously the safety of my children. It seems like a lot
0:21:01 > 0:21:04of parents in South Florida will be asking that same question later
0:21:04 > 0:21:13today. We pray for the families, for the victim 's. We hope for the best.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18President Trump treated his condolences, saying no child,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21teacher, anyone is, they should never feel unsafe in an American
0:21:21 > 0:21:26school. It is not yet clear if he is considering any change to a gun
0:21:26 > 0:21:30legislation. We will get reaction from the scene and the latest
0:21:30 > 0:21:36through the morning of course. Next today...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39The parents of a 21-year-old who died after taking illegal
0:21:39 > 0:21:42weight-loss pills are warning others not to take them.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Beth Shipsey died in February last year after taking DNP tablets,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50after an overwhelmed hospital department failed to spot
0:21:50 > 0:21:54the potentially fatal overdose.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58An inquest which finished yesterday concluded her care
0:21:58 > 0:22:01at the Worcestshire Royal Hospital was significantly sub-standard,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03there were significant failings in her care,
0:22:03 > 0:22:08but evidence suggests she would still have died.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10The coroner also said that he was going to write
0:22:10 > 0:22:14to the Government calling for the substance DNP to be banned.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16DNP is an industrial chemical, it's highly toxic and not intended
0:22:16 > 0:22:19for human consumption.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24It's sold illegally in diet pills as a fat-burning substance.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Users experience a metabolism boost, leading to weight loss,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31but taking even a few tablets can be fatal.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33We can talk to Beth Shipsey's parents, Carole and Doug,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38in their first BBC interview.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43Good morning to you. How do you respond to the conclusion of the
0:22:43 > 0:22:54coroner?We do not agree with his opinion. We felt that the evidence
0:22:54 > 0:22:58heard in the inquest, the five inquest, it does not reflect fully
0:22:58 > 0:23:07his opinion.How do you react, Doug? The verdict of suicide, Beth did not
0:23:07 > 0:23:13intend to take her own life, we feel.It was a miscalculation. A
0:23:13 > 0:23:18huge mistake. Another cry for help. She had taken overdoses before.
0:23:18 > 0:23:26Equally surprised for help.14 before, is that right?That is
0:23:26 > 0:23:28right, obviously a bit of a nightmare for everyone concerned,
0:23:28 > 0:23:36especially us as parents. So we are disappointed that the verdict was
0:23:36 > 0:23:42delivered as suicide when there is a lot of evidence to suggest that it
0:23:42 > 0:23:49was not the case, no suicide note, her social media messages that Beth
0:23:49 > 0:23:58had left that would indicate... But she meant to be found and taken to
0:23:58 > 0:24:03hospital and treated.The coroner did highlight significant failings
0:24:03 > 0:24:07in her care at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital, staff failed to
0:24:07 > 0:24:11carry out checks on the drugs she had taken, the department were not
0:24:11 > 0:24:16familiar with the DNP drug and its effects, they did not recognise
0:24:16 > 0:24:21watching was experiencing was a fatal overdose, they were clearly
0:24:21 > 0:24:25overwhelmed, evidence from nurses saying it was one of the most
0:24:25 > 0:24:28challenging shifts they had been on, yet the coroner said he still does
0:24:28 > 0:24:32not think she would have survived, hence him finding she had taken her
0:24:32 > 0:24:40own life. How do you feel towards the hospital?The fact is, her blood
0:24:40 > 0:24:46level of DNP following her death is the lowest recorded worldwide and
0:24:46 > 0:24:53people have survived with a higher level that have had supportive care
0:24:53 > 0:24:59and Beth had no care in the form and a half hours she was there until she
0:24:59 > 0:25:04had a cardiac arrest.-- the for and a half hours. The hospital say, we
0:25:04 > 0:25:09are very sorry for the shortcomings in her care, and they talk about the
0:25:09 > 0:25:14series of improvements they have made since. I want to talk to you
0:25:14 > 0:25:18about DNP, I have been looking on the NHS website, it makes it clear
0:25:18 > 0:25:22it is illegal to sell it as a weight loss drug and I wonder what you
0:25:22 > 0:25:28think the Government should do now about this substance.The Food
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Standards Agency crime prevention unit have been doing their best to
0:25:32 > 0:25:35close down websites and tackle anybody selling this illegally in
0:25:35 > 0:25:41the UK. Much of it comes from overseas. The FSA's hands are tied
0:25:41 > 0:25:50in what they can do, relying on authorities in other countries. The
0:25:50 > 0:25:54fact is, you can buy this today on the internet if you look hard
0:25:54 > 0:26:00enough. That is not acceptable. We need the substance itself to be made
0:26:00 > 0:26:06less or non-accessible to unscrupulous people by either
0:26:06 > 0:26:09banning the actual substance itself or putting license controls over it
0:26:09 > 0:26:15and make it much more difficult or hopefully impossible for people to
0:26:15 > 0:26:22get their hands on it, other than industrial uses.When you discovered
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Beth had been taking these, what did you think?We were not aware until
0:26:26 > 0:26:30the day before her death of the potency and toxicity of the drug.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35She had mentioned a few weeks before she had bought some diet pills but
0:26:35 > 0:26:40she was no longer taking them and that that point we had no reason to
0:26:40 > 0:26:47believe that they were anything other than herbal diet pills that
0:26:47 > 0:26:52people can buy from health shops. What have you learnt about the
0:26:52 > 0:26:56substance in the diet pills since? Shocking how lethal and there is no
0:26:56 > 0:27:02safe dose. People must not be complacent. We believe Bethany did
0:27:02 > 0:27:07not take 30 pills because of the low blood level and also we know she did
0:27:07 > 0:27:12not take that amount, we do not people do think there is a safe
0:27:12 > 0:27:17therapeutic dose, it is illegal and dangerous.What would you say, Doug
0:27:17 > 0:27:21to anyone watching who might be tempted to try something like this?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25As I said in the introduction, it increases metabolism leading to
0:27:25 > 0:27:31weight loss, but it is a highly toxic substance.The people usually
0:27:31 > 0:27:39attracted to take such substances as this, girls or young woman with body
0:27:39 > 0:27:46image issues or body-builders, again, body image issues, so any
0:27:46 > 0:27:51parent or partners or anyone surrounding these people, be
0:27:51 > 0:28:02vigilant. Do not buy such diet pills over the internet. Be aware,
0:28:02 > 0:28:08intervene, be proactive. Because an envelope coming through the door
0:28:08 > 0:28:13with pills in it could be a killer, as it turned out to be in the case
0:28:13 > 0:28:18for Beth and others before.And it was exactly a year ago your daughter
0:28:18 > 0:28:24died.Yes, this evening will be the first anniversary.How do you mark
0:28:24 > 0:28:31that? How do you cope with that? How do you remember her?This evening we
0:28:31 > 0:28:38will spend our time with immediate family and... We will be lighting a
0:28:38 > 0:28:47candle at the time of death.The difficulty is we are starting to
0:28:47 > 0:28:51relive what Beth was doing that day because a year ago today she was
0:28:51 > 0:28:57still alive and the what ifs, could we... All of the questions going
0:28:57 > 0:29:02through powerhead has each minute passes through the day. Tonight will
0:29:02 > 0:29:06be particularly difficult when it comes to the time we know she
0:29:06 > 0:29:12arrested -- going through powerhead. What do you want her legacy to be?
0:29:12 > 0:29:17We want the legacy to be the banning or control of the substance so no
0:29:17 > 0:29:21one else dies from it. Unfortunately, we are where someone
0:29:21 > 0:29:27already has. Also, the hospitals, they are overwhelmed, so busy, they
0:29:27 > 0:29:33just did not have the time to apply what they would normally in
0:29:33 > 0:29:37treatment for Beth that night. The accident and emergency departments
0:29:37 > 0:29:46need more funding. It is unacceptable in a first world
0:29:46 > 0:29:49country to have Third World circumstances in the A&E
0:29:49 > 0:29:55departments.Thank you very much for talking to us. We appreciate how
0:29:55 > 0:30:03difficult it was for you and we appreciate your time as well. Coming
0:30:03 > 0:30:07up...
0:30:07 > 0:30:10It many not come as a surprise that scientists have found a link
0:30:10 > 0:30:12between highly-processed foods and cancer rates,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14but how seriously should we take this latest study?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17And we'll catch up with team GB bobsleigher Mica McNeil who has
0:30:17 > 0:30:24sent us her latest video diary from the Winter Olympics.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Time for the latest news.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Here's Annita McVeigh.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31The BBC News headlines this morning.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36At least 17 people have been shot dead by a gunman at a high school in
0:30:36 > 0:30:43Florida. Others are in hospital with serious injuries following the
0:30:43 > 0:30:46attack near Michael Schumacher my. It is the 18th shooting at an
0:30:46 > 0:30:49American school this year. Police have named the suspect at
0:30:49 > 0:30:5719-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student who had been expelled. It
0:30:57 > 0:31:01was the end of school day, they know that the suspect pulled the fire
0:31:01 > 0:31:05alarm to get people to leave the school quickly, so it was a lot of
0:31:05 > 0:31:08chaos because they didn't know if it was a real fire or not. All of a
0:31:08 > 0:31:15sudden they heard that pop, pop, pop sound. Some teachers told students
0:31:15 > 0:31:20to run, so we have seen images leaving the school with their arms
0:31:20 > 0:31:23up, trying to get to safety as quickly as possible.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24quickly as possible.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27The ANC leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, will be sworn in as South Africa's
0:31:27 > 0:31:29new president later today, following the resignation
0:31:29 > 0:31:30of Jacob Zuma.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Mr Zuma's time in office has been marred by allegations of corruption,
0:31:33 > 0:31:36and his own party, the ANC had threatened to force him out
0:31:36 > 0:31:37with a vote of no confidence.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40In a televised statement he said he was quitting with immediate
0:31:40 > 0:31:50effect but said he disagreed with his party's decision.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52The consumption of highly-processed foods, including cakes,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55chicken nuggets and mass-produced bread is linked to the risk
0:31:55 > 0:31:56of cancer, according to researchers in France.

0:32:02 > 0:32:09a healthy balanced diet.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11The government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
0:32:11 > 0:32:13for a cyber attack last year, which affected businesses
0:32:14 > 0:32:15around the world.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
0:32:16 > 0:32:18was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
0:32:18 > 0:32:19and weaponising information".
0:32:19 > 0:32:26Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Sinn Fein is expected to outline its next move today
0:32:28 > 0:32:30following the collapse of negotiations to restore
0:32:30 > 0:32:31power-sharing at Stormont.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Talks ended yesterday when the Democratic Unionist Party
0:32:33 > 0:32:35said there was no prospect of a deal.
0:32:35 > 0:32:43Both parties have been locked in negotiations for 13 months.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47That's a summary of the latest BBC News.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50To leave the school quickly, so it was a lot of chaos because they
0:32:50 > 0:32:53didn't know if it was a real fire or not. All of a sudden they heard that
0:32:53 > 0:32:56pop, pop, pop sound. Some teachers told students to run, so we have
0:32:56 > 0:32:59seen images leaving the school with their arms up, trying to get to

0:33:49 > 0:33:55competition. More after 10.00.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Now, after weeks of speculation, growing claims of corruption,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59raids against wealthy friends, and a party increasingly
0:33:59 > 0:34:01united against him, South Africa's President Zuma has
0:34:01 > 0:34:02finally stepped down.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05He was one of the foot soldiers of the anti-apartheid movement
0:34:05 > 0:34:07which saw Nelson Mandela rise to power in the 90s.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09But once in office, allegations of corruption and nepotism turned
0:34:09 > 0:34:10South Africans against him.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Now, his rival and the man the ANC party want to replace him,
0:34:14 > 0:34:23will be sworn in today.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28Our correspondent Pumza Fihlani is in Johannesberg.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33In the end, he, mine he fought and fought and fought, didn't he, but in
0:34:33 > 0:34:40the end he did do it?He certainly did, and he really left that right
0:34:40 > 0:34:46down to the wire, Victoria, with like an hour to go, before the
0:34:46 > 0:34:49deadline of midnight. He tendered his resignation, we have received is
0:34:49 > 0:34:54word a few moments ago that he has handed officially his letter to the
0:34:54 > 0:34:58speaker of Parliament in Cape Town, so it is official now, he is no
0:34:58 > 0:35:02longer President of South Africa, which then begins the process for
0:35:02 > 0:35:08the African National Congress as you said, there to table a sitting that
0:35:08 > 0:35:12will elect the new President and Cyril Ramaphosa ises poised to the
0:35:12 > 0:35:17man to take over from him. That is if opposition parties are also
0:35:17 > 0:35:22agreed on the ANC's preferred candidate.How will Cyril Ramaphosa
0:35:22 > 0:35:29be different?He certainly has been more vocal, especially in the last
0:35:29 > 0:35:33few months, in the run up just after his election, as party President. He
0:35:33 > 0:35:38has been very vocal about reclaiming South Africa's dignity in the world,
0:35:38 > 0:35:44but also, reclaiming the country back from people he says have used
0:35:44 > 0:35:46the close relationships with the President and people in power to
0:35:46 > 0:35:51loot the state. He has promised to stamp out corruption, he has
0:35:51 > 0:35:55promised to create an environment that is favourable for investment.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00There has been fears here, for a few years, that Jacob Zuma's government
0:36:00 > 0:36:04was uncertain and that threatened investment here, he has promised to
0:36:04 > 0:36:09stabilise things but also to find a which of reigniting the economy that
0:36:09 > 0:36:13it creates jobs for young people here, so it is a very big order he
0:36:13 > 0:36:17needs to fulfil, but South Africa's -- South Africans are at a point
0:36:17 > 0:36:21where they want somebody who is going to deliver. They have seen
0:36:21 > 0:36:25what democracy can bring when people come together. So it is a big task
0:36:25 > 0:36:29he had ahead of them. He they are not going to take him as face value.
0:36:29 > 0:36:39Thank you.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43We already know that processed foods such as cakes,
0:36:43 > 0:36:53crisps and ready meals often have high levels of sugar,
0:36:56 > 0:37:01Study was conducted on 150,000 French adults and we measured their
0:37:01 > 0:37:06dietary consumption and the study was about the association between
0:37:06 > 0:37:10the ultra processed food consumption and the risk of developing cancer,
0:37:10 > 0:37:16what we observed here, was that when people increased their share of
0:37:16 > 0:37:25ultra processed food in the diet, a 10% increased we observered is an
0:37:25 > 0:37:3511% risk and a 12% risk in breast cancer.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37But just how significant is this news - and should
0:37:37 > 0:37:39we change our life styles?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Here to tell us a bit more is Cancer Research's lead UK health
0:37:42 > 0:37:43expert Sarah Williams.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45The kind of ultra processed foods we are talking about include what?It
0:37:45 > 0:37:51is a massive list. So crisp, packaged sweets, snack, mass
0:37:51 > 0:37:59produced breads and cakes but not cakes that are made for example at
0:37:59 > 0:38:02home and bakery, meatballs, nugget, anything that is high in fat, salt,
0:38:02 > 0:38:09sugar it is really very broad.It is to do with the high levels of 2359,
0:38:09 > 0:38:15salt and sugar or could it be be to do with additives. They say they
0:38:15 > 0:38:19don't know, they are not creating a cause there, they are just saying we
0:38:19 > 0:38:22see this, we are suggesting there is a link, we are eat morgue of these
0:38:22 > 0:38:26foods and that could mean that over time there will be more cancer, so
0:38:26 > 0:38:29the figure they have come up with saying at the minute they think the
0:38:29 > 0:38:33people they studied ate about 18% of their diet, was made of this ultra
0:38:33 > 0:38:37processed food, they are saying we are increasing that, if we increase
0:38:37 > 0:38:42it by 10%, they think that that will cause another nine cancer for every
0:38:42 > 0:38:46100,000 people a year. How big is this study. There are some who are
0:38:46 > 0:38:55expressing caution about it?It is a large study. It is 105,000 people.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59It tracked them five years but it is ongoing, the researches admit there
0:38:59 > 0:39:03are things they haven't managed to take into account. That I have tried
0:39:03 > 0:39:07to weigh their data against thing like people smoking, whether or not
0:39:07 > 0:39:11people exercise, whether they have high calorie diets overall or will
0:39:11 > 0:39:15if they take the pill. They can't exclude that. Then there is the
0:39:15 > 0:39:17thing about how broad that definition of ultra processed food
0:39:17 > 0:39:23is. So, the thing that it doesn't for example include artisan breads,
0:39:23 > 0:39:29so there are...Who what is an artisan bread?Anything made in a
0:39:29 > 0:39:33posh bakery or at home.That is all right?They aren't included in this
0:39:33 > 0:39:37study. Even though it's a large study the researchers saying more
0:39:37 > 0:39:41needs to be done to see what the cause is here.And that is a really
0:39:41 > 0:39:47key point, is it not, because the people who experienced higher rates
0:39:47 > 0:39:52of cancer could be living unhealthy lifestyles any away, could be
0:39:52 > 0:39:57smoker, all sorts of things could be going on. On. The study noticed and
0:39:57 > 0:40:00the researchers mentioned this that the people who were eating the most
0:40:00 > 0:40:04ultra processed is foods tended to have unhealthy lifestyleses in other
0:40:04 > 0:40:09way, being more likely to be smokers and less like will he to be
0:40:09 > 0:40:14physically active. This is a different way of locking at diet and
0:40:14 > 0:40:20cancer, we tend to look at nutrients or attives and take a bottom up
0:40:20 > 0:40:24approach. This is top down, to that is good because people heat a whole
0:40:24 > 0:40:28diet, on the other hand as we have said the limitation is we can't tell
0:40:28 > 0:40:32what within this massive bucket of ultra processed foods could be
0:40:32 > 0:40:36causing a problem and whether that is down to nutrients or weight gain
0:40:36 > 0:40:39or if will is something else. It is a key piece of initial research we
0:40:39 > 0:40:45can build on. Sure, OK. But I mean, in the future, with more
0:40:45 > 0:40:49research, they might be able to point to a particular additive or
0:40:49 > 0:40:53the way you know, a cop pound is made when they are doing the cooking
0:40:53 > 0:40:58process. -- compound.It is possible that could happen. That would be
0:40:58 > 0:41:01useful information, particularly so people can be aware of what they are
0:41:01 > 0:41:06doing, but to inform how our food is made, we do buy a lot of processed
0:41:06 > 0:41:11food, I think it is in some ways part of modern life, we are busy,
0:41:11 > 0:41:15one of the key things in this area is reform lacing of products so we
0:41:15 > 0:41:19know with things like the sugar Levy coming in with fizzy drink, that has
0:41:19 > 0:41:25been seen to have an effect in terms of manufacturers reducing sugar, if
0:41:25 > 0:41:31we can find other things within food, sugar or chemicals that can be
0:41:31 > 0:41:36reduced so there is less than in the first place.Should people cut out
0:41:36 > 0:41:39ultra process food from their diet? On the basis of this study I think
0:41:39 > 0:41:45that is going a bit too far, on the other hand, we do know as we have
0:41:45 > 0:41:49said things like crisps and chips and cake, we know they are not
0:41:49 > 0:41:53things to be good to be eating a lot the time. It is about cutting down,
0:41:53 > 0:41:58there are lots of other good reason, we know they increase the risk of
0:41:58 > 0:42:01weight gain and we know obesity loads to cancer and other Serbses
0:42:01 > 0:42:06you diseases.Is the being overweight, is that more of a risks
0:42:06 > 0:42:11for developing cancer than what we can take from this study?I would be
0:42:11 > 0:42:15more concerned is personally from ultra processed foods via weight
0:42:15 > 0:42:20rather than a accuse direct link. What is the difference between ultra
0:42:20 > 0:42:24processed food and processed food? People want to know, I am confused,
0:42:24 > 0:42:29tell me what I shouldn't eat, what I should eat.It is a tricky one, this
0:42:29 > 0:42:33study basically divided people's diets into four buckets and it did
0:42:33 > 0:42:38that based on a previous piece of research, the buckets go from fresh
0:42:38 > 0:42:43foods, things like fresh fruit and veg, frozen fruit and veg as well.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48Right through to ma processed foods, it is defined based should be much
0:42:48 > 0:42:51sort of interference has been happening in the foods before they
0:42:51 > 0:42:56get on your plate. But it is a broad definition and as we have mentioned
0:42:56 > 0:43:00there are some things that seem a little bit strange looking at it
0:43:00 > 0:43:04from a public point of view, like what type of bread is OK, but it is
0:43:04 > 0:43:09more to do with how it has been divided up. I won't put emphasis on
0:43:09 > 0:43:14the specific foods. It is a big group, and it is not to say those
0:43:14 > 0:43:17foods particularly are especially worrying or dangerous to people.But
0:43:17 > 0:43:20you would say wouldn't you, just exercise more, and eat more fruit
0:43:20 > 0:43:26and veg.More fruit and veg, more fibre, less red processed meat, cut
0:43:26 > 0:43:33down on calories.One feet this people want the try living on a
0:43:33 > 0:43:37healthy diet on a low income. I know you hear that a lotIt is a huge
0:43:37 > 0:43:41problem, there is is a real limit as to what people themselves can do in
0:43:41 > 0:43:45terms of healthy diet and managing their weight. Because simply we can
0:43:45 > 0:43:49only buy what is in the shop, we can't control what is marketed to
0:43:49 > 0:43:52us. As well as people have the information and the advice to make
0:43:52 > 0:43:56healthy choices where they can, this is why it is important that industry
0:43:56 > 0:43:59play a role in reform lacing, and the Government really step up and
0:43:59 > 0:44:04play a role as well. So the sugar Levy but what Cancer Research would
0:44:04 > 0:44:11like to see is further restrictions on junk food marketing. So we would
0:44:11 > 0:44:17be calling on the Government to introduce a watershed to reduce the
0:44:17 > 0:44:20amount of advertising children are see, we know it leads them to
0:44:20 > 0:44:28consume more of these foods. IsThank you very much.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31We'll hear some harrowing accounts from children living in war zones,
0:44:31 > 0:44:33which tragically has increased by more than three quarters
0:44:33 > 0:44:34over the past 30 years.
0:44:34 > 0:44:39We will hear what life is like for some of these children before 10.00.
0:44:39 > 0:44:45It's day six of the Winter Olympics in South Korea.
0:44:45 > 0:44:54So far Team GB have yet to feature on the podium. There is a chance who
0:44:54 > 0:45:03will get one tomorrow. Over the duration of the Games, Team GB Mica
0:45:03 > 0:45:09McNeill, a bobsleigh, has been keeping a video diary for us of her
0:45:09 > 0:45:12experience.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Here's her latest extract.
0:45:15 > 0:45:20ELECTRONIC MUSIC.
0:45:25 > 0:45:32Hi, guys.
0:45:32 > 0:45:33It's Mica McNeill, Team GB bobsleigh pilot
0:45:33 > 0:45:36out here in South Korea at the Pyeongchang 2018
0:45:36 > 0:45:41Winter Olympic Games.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44We've now been here for two weeks and official training
0:45:44 > 0:45:45is coming up really, really soon, which we
0:45:45 > 0:45:46are so excited for.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48We're actually in Seoul at the moment.
0:45:48 > 0:45:54But I'll give you a little recap of how our two weeks have been.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58We got here in Seoul at the National Sport University
0:45:58 > 0:46:01to get some training done, get over jet lag and what not,
0:46:01 > 0:46:05before we went into the Olympic Village.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07When we got there, that was an absolutely incredible,
0:46:07 > 0:46:08incredible feeling.
0:46:08 > 0:46:13It was a two-hour bus journey across the country and then
0:46:13 > 0:46:16we arrived and you walk through and you see all the flags
0:46:16 > 0:46:17and all the other nations.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20We had great fun while we were there.
0:46:20 > 0:46:28We have the flag raising ceremony, we had the Team GB reception,
0:46:28 > 0:46:30where we got to dress up in our fancy suits and meet
0:46:30 > 0:46:33her Royal Highness Princess Anne.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35And we had the opening ceremony, which was amazing.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38We didn't actually stay there for the whole time.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42We went and stayed in the warm tent and got to walk out behind the flag,
0:46:42 > 0:46:45which was an absolute honour and such a proud moment for any
0:46:45 > 0:46:48athlete, but then we actually went straight on the bus and went home,
0:46:48 > 0:46:51because we didn't want to get cold and tired as we had
0:46:51 > 0:46:53training the next day and we are still preparing.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56But it wasn't all fun in the village.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00We had some 5am wake-up calls to go sliding,
0:47:00 > 0:47:02which was actually my first time down the Olympic track.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04I'd never driven it before.
0:47:04 > 0:47:05So I've had four runs now.
0:47:05 > 0:47:06I'm getting to grips with it.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09I've got some fine tuning to do, but it's such a fun
0:47:09 > 0:47:12track and I absolutely, absolutely loved it.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16So the sled got there all safe.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19But our village is amazing, and our block, Team GB have made it
0:47:19 > 0:47:21so homely and done a great job.
0:47:21 > 0:47:22The food's fantastic.
0:47:22 > 0:47:27So you might be wondering why we're back in Seoul.
0:47:27 > 0:47:33There's a couple of viruses going around the village,
0:47:33 > 0:47:36which we don't want to catch, and we wanted to just take ourselves
0:47:36 > 0:47:38away from that environment of everything being 100 mph
0:47:38 > 0:47:41all the time and get some serious sessions put down.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43We're a week out from our competition now and we're
0:47:43 > 0:47:46here in Seoul with a gym to ourselves and a running
0:47:46 > 0:47:48track to ourselves.
0:47:48 > 0:47:53We're not fighting 1000 athletes for equipment in the village.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55But I will say, I'm so, so excited to get back
0:47:55 > 0:48:05to the village later on today.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Our bus leaves at four from here so that's a wrap for our holding
0:48:08 > 0:48:11camp and I'm absolutely buzzing for the official training to start
0:48:11 > 0:48:14on the 17th and for our competition on the 20th and 21st.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17And we'll continue to follow her story over the next week or so.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19The number of children living in a war zone has increased
0:48:19 > 0:48:22by more than three quarters in the past three decades.
0:48:22 > 0:48:28More than 350 million kids now live in areas of conflict -
0:48:28 > 0:48:31that's over a third of a billion children, or around six times
0:48:31 > 0:48:32the population of the UK.
0:48:32 > 0:48:38And it's up from around 200 million in the early 1990s.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Let's hear some of the experiences of children from warzones
0:48:41 > 0:48:43around the world.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47"They hit me in the face with a gun, kicked me in my chest and stamped
0:48:47 > 0:48:48on my arms and legs.
0:48:48 > 0:48:53Then I was raped."
0:48:58 > 0:49:04Another said...
0:49:04 > 0:49:10Another child...
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Those are just three stories from three different children caught
0:49:13 > 0:49:16up in conflict zones around the world.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19The new report from Save the Children out today suggests kids
0:49:19 > 0:49:21are being used as suicide bombers, and that schools and hospitals
0:49:21 > 0:49:23are being targeted by cluster bombs.
0:49:23 > 0:49:28Let's look at the experience of one persecuted minority.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Since August, 2017, more than half a million Rohingya Muslims have fled
0:49:31 > 0:49:36Myanmar for neighbouring Bangladesh.
0:49:42 > 0:49:47Two months ago two armed men stormed into our house. I was there with my
0:49:47 > 0:49:52two daughters. One is 16 and the other is 12. They beat and kicked me
0:49:52 > 0:49:56and threw me out of my house and they raped both of my daughters.
0:49:56 > 0:50:03Even the youngest one. She has not even reached puberty yet. When they
0:50:03 > 0:50:06were finished, they came out of the house and started shooting at
0:50:06 > 0:50:13people. I saw them killed two men, a bullet missed me by a few inches. I
0:50:13 > 0:50:17ran back into the house. I took my daughters by their hands and we ran
0:50:17 > 0:50:22away as fast as we could. My daughters were in a state of shock.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26It took us two days to get to Bangladesh. They are still
0:50:26 > 0:50:32suffering. One of them feels constantly in and weak and the other
0:50:32 > 0:50:38one has a Domino and back pain. They feel really a shame talking about
0:50:38 > 0:50:42what happened and they are worried no one will want to marry them when
0:50:42 > 0:50:48they are older than now they have been raped.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50With us is George Graham from Save the Children,
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Doaa Kutbi who is a doctor in Yemen for the International Medical Corps,
0:50:53 > 0:50:59and Nikita Malik, who researches the way children are used
0:50:59 > 0:51:02in conflict for the Henry Jackson Society, which is a think tank that,
0:51:02 > 0:51:04according to its website, works to combat extremism,
0:51:04 > 0:51:08to advance democracy and real human rights.
0:51:08 > 0:51:14Thank you all for talking to us. I will start in Yemen with Doaa, what
0:51:14 > 0:51:24is it like for parents trying to bring up children in parts of Yemen?
0:51:24 > 0:51:28Unfortunately, my country is suffering a lot nowadays, especially
0:51:28 > 0:51:48the health system. In 2018... 18.8 million that the dog the
0:51:48 > 0:51:58population... As a mother of two kids, both of them need medical
0:51:58 > 0:52:06help, as a doctor, as a mother, a regular, monthly income. But what
0:52:06 > 0:52:12about those who do not? Even if they tried their best, nowadays, in my
0:52:12 > 0:52:18country, my country is now reporting one of the top countries with a
0:52:18 > 0:52:23crisis in the world. Nowadays, we are in Yemen suffering through a lot
0:52:23 > 0:52:31of outbreaks, endemic with critical diseases like malaria, polio, and
0:52:31 > 0:52:38now a diphtheria outbreak, cholera outbreak, as a mother, I'm afraid to
0:52:38 > 0:52:43let my children go out from home. And visitors, I'm suspicious
0:52:43 > 0:52:49sometimes, but what can I do? We will try. As a humanitarian worker,
0:52:49 > 0:52:59I try my best to change some...I will bring in George, if I may.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03Thank you, Doaa. George from Save the Children who have done the
0:53:03 > 0:53:08report. We can clearly hear the difficulties of a mum, who is a
0:53:08 > 0:53:12doctor, trying to bring up children in a conflict zone. Can you give us
0:53:12 > 0:53:17examples of the way children are affected and used in conflict zones?
0:53:17 > 0:53:21Certainly. One of the most depressing findings in this very
0:53:21 > 0:53:26depressing report is the number of children killed and maimed has gone
0:53:26 > 0:53:31up three times its 2010 according to UN reports, kids being injured,
0:53:31 > 0:53:34lifelong disabilities. Part of the reason is conflict is increasingly
0:53:34 > 0:53:38happening in cities, another piece of research with Imperial College we
0:53:38 > 0:53:44are doing, looking at how children's bodies are uniquely vulnerable to
0:53:44 > 0:53:52blast injuries, more at risk to adults. Recruitment of children into
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Armed Forces, sexual violence against children, adoption of
0:53:55 > 0:54:01children. Another very stark finding is that the numbers of people being
0:54:01 > 0:54:09denied humanitarian aid has gone up 15 times, starving, not getting
0:54:09 > 0:54:12health care because parties to conflict are deliberately preventing
0:54:12 > 0:54:17aid from reaching them.Which is absolutely shocking and scandalous.
0:54:17 > 0:54:22Completely shocking. We talk about... We have called this report
0:54:22 > 0:54:26the war on children, one of the biggest alt on time and we are
0:54:26 > 0:54:34trying to raise awareness -- one of the biggest outrages of our time.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37Literally millions of children whose lives are being destroyed
0:54:37 > 0:54:43preventively so that is what we need to look at.How did terrorists use
0:54:43 > 0:54:49children in war zones, Nikita?This is one of the things that has been
0:54:49 > 0:54:52increasing, and incredibly effective strategy. A number of international
0:54:52 > 0:54:57conventions prevent the use of children by Armed Forces but
0:54:57 > 0:55:01terrorists will use children precisely because it disarms the
0:55:01 > 0:55:06individuals facing these children. And we see multiple levels of
0:55:06 > 0:55:11exploitation so children are used for child labour, often trafficked,
0:55:11 > 0:55:15sexually abused, and they tend to listen to authority and not question
0:55:15 > 0:55:19it and what we see in conflict zones in particular is that the children
0:55:19 > 0:55:24are joining these groups for things as simple as food, a stable income,
0:55:24 > 0:55:29and with the case of Islamic State, and non-state armed groups in the
0:55:29 > 0:55:33Middle East, they are joining them because it gives them a sense of
0:55:33 > 0:55:37stability, the groups provide them with a distorted ideological
0:55:37 > 0:55:41indoctrination and education. And in times of war, the sense of stability
0:55:41 > 0:55:47for a child is very appealing.They are provided with basic human
0:55:47 > 0:55:55essentials.Precisely.Food and water and then become indoctrinated?
0:55:55 > 0:56:00That is what is most disheartening because these are basic needs,
0:56:00 > 0:56:04education, food, a safe place to sleep every night and we have these
0:56:04 > 0:56:07terrorist organisations offering it to these children who have often
0:56:07 > 0:56:14been separated from their families and providing them with very
0:56:14 > 0:56:17radicalised ideas.And if they survive, how much long-term damage
0:56:17 > 0:56:22can this do to a child?It is immense because of the levels of
0:56:22 > 0:56:26trauma these children have experienced, the normalisation of
0:56:26 > 0:56:30violence, they have often been asked to commit all kinds of violence
0:56:30 > 0:56:34against people, and to make matters worse, when the children are
0:56:34 > 0:56:39captured by the state, they are often put in jail. The majority of
0:56:39 > 0:56:42information we have received from children and their experiences have
0:56:42 > 0:56:49been from children in jail.Finally, if I may ask you, George, from Save
0:56:49 > 0:56:52the Children, in light of the scandal that has emerged in the last
0:56:52 > 0:56:59week about Oxfam and officials there exploiting vulnerable people and
0:56:59 > 0:57:01inappropriate sexual behaviour, presumably Save the Children is
0:57:01 > 0:57:05looking at its own staff and procedures?Exactly. The news this
0:57:05 > 0:57:09week, personally, I found it shocking but also really sad and it
0:57:09 > 0:57:13has made me incredibly angry. We exist to protect the most vulnerable
0:57:13 > 0:57:17so when you see that people who are professing to do the same thing but
0:57:17 > 0:57:22are clearly not taking advantage of the most vulnerable, it is really
0:57:22 > 0:57:26sick making, precisely the opposite of what we are here to do. You are
0:57:26 > 0:57:37right, we're looking at our
0:57:43 > 0:57:46systems and processes, we have child safeguarding training in teams and
0:57:46 > 0:57:48sexual harassment training, we have got the processes, but what I keep
0:57:48 > 0:57:50thinking and we keep talking about internally is it is about leadership
0:57:50 > 0:57:53and culture. We need an environment in which anyone who experiences
0:57:53 > 0:57:54harassment or exploitation feels comfortable bring it forward and
0:57:54 > 0:57:57they know something will be done and there is a culture of tolerance. I
0:57:57 > 0:58:02am optimistic is we will get there. -- a culture of zero tolerance.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06Mission-critical for us, protecting the vulnerable. In some ways, I feel
0:58:06 > 0:58:11like this is something we will get to grips with, we have to get to
0:58:11 > 0:58:15grips with, as the sector, and we are trying our best to do it.Thank
0:58:15 > 0:58:20you very much for coming on the programme. The latest news and sport
0:58:20 > 0:58:24at 10am. Before that, the weather. Something a little
0:58:24 > 0:58:25at 10am. Before that, the weather. Something a little bit milder on the
0:58:25 > 0:58:29way over the next few days. A bit of a chilly start this morning.
0:58:29 > 0:58:34Compared with yesterday and the forecast, more sunshine around than
0:58:34 > 0:58:38yesterday afternoon. A few showers around, fairly wintry in the
0:58:38 > 0:58:43northern and western parts of the UK with some sleet and snow. This is
0:58:43 > 0:58:49where the showers have been so far today. Mainly snow for Scotland and
0:58:49 > 0:58:53Northern Ireland. The tops of the Pennines and the Brecon Beacons.
0:58:53 > 0:58:57More showers across south-west England and Wales. They will run
0:58:57 > 0:59:01across southern counties this morning. In between, lots of gaps in
0:59:01 > 0:59:05the cloud, lots of sunshine, particularly in the east. That will
0:59:05 > 0:59:10be the case into the afternoon. Lunchtime, a few showers still
0:59:10 > 0:59:14running across Southern counties, one or two in Wales and still some
0:59:14 > 0:59:19snow falling across the tops of the Pennines. Snow as well in Northern
0:59:19 > 0:59:23Ireland. From Glasgow North on the Highlands, the bulk of the snow
0:59:23 > 0:59:28today. As much as 20 centimetres of fresh snow over higher ground here.
0:59:28 > 0:59:31That will be blown around as well by pretty strong winds. Temperatures
0:59:31 > 0:59:42for the afternoon, blue colours below freezing. Not too bad today,
0:59:42 > 0:59:50up on recent days. Double figures in the south-east. Strengthening
0:59:50 > 0:59:53sunshine at the moment overhead. With more of it around today, it
0:59:53 > 0:59:58will feel more pleasant than it has done of late. Going into tonight, we
0:59:58 > 1:00:03will start to see temperatures dropping quite smartly. Further snow
1:00:03 > 1:00:07showers in western Scotland, Northern Ireland, wintry flurries in
1:00:07 > 1:00:11the West of England and Wales, but with clear skies, temperatures
1:00:11 > 1:00:22dropping tonight. Greater chances of frost. And greater risk of ice with
1:00:22 > 1:00:26the showers. Tonight, parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, the
1:00:26 > 1:00:29northern lights for costs. Bright red, greatest chance of seeing it
1:00:29 > 1:00:38tonight. The northern lights forecast. Here you may just get
1:00:38 > 1:00:43treated to a little bit of a little glimpse of the bright colours
1:00:43 > 1:00:46dancing on the horizon in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The risk of
1:00:46 > 1:00:52ice tomorrow morning. Scotland and Northern Ireland, another day of
1:00:52 > 1:00:56thick cloud in the West, further outbreaks of rain and hail snow, not
1:00:56 > 1:01:01as much as today, temperatures on the rise with south-westerly winds.
1:01:01 > 1:01:06Best of the sunshine in the eastern half of Scotland and England. A
1:01:06 > 1:01:17fairly mild day. Quick look into the weekend, Saturday, start with frost
1:01:17 > 1:01:23in southern areas, much having a dry and bright day. Some outbreaks of
1:01:23 > 1:01:27rain and drizzle, mainly light and patchy. Temperatures still holding
1:01:27 > 1:01:32up into double figures for some, continuing the mild theme into
1:01:32 > 1:01:39Sunday. The big question mark is where the weather front will lie.
1:01:39 > 1:01:42Goodbye for now.
1:01:42 > 1:01:45Our top story - a 19-year-old man's in custody over the deaths
1:01:45 > 1:01:53of 17 people in a school shooting in Florida.
1:01:53 > 1:01:57Kids were evacuating. I heard five pop, I thought that is not a drill.
1:01:57 > 1:02:04We never did a drill like thatWe have a shooter in custody, he was
1:02:04 > 1:02:09taken into custody I believe about an hour after he left the school,
1:02:09 > 1:02:17after he committed this horrific homicidele detestable act.
1:02:17 > 1:02:19We'll hear from a local reporter at the scene.
1:02:19 > 1:02:21Children as young as 12 are being banned from driving
1:02:21 > 1:02:23after being caught on the road illegally, often with
1:02:23 > 1:02:25deadly consequences.
1:02:25 > 1:02:28We'll speak to the sisters of boy who died in a crash ,
1:02:28 > 1:02:30here's one underage driver explaining why he does it.
1:02:31 > 1:02:36I do get a rush, you know, but I just want to put my foot down and go
1:02:36 > 1:02:40crazy. I've been in police chases and got away because we know where
1:02:40 > 1:02:45we need to go. If there's a group of us we will chip in, let an older
1:02:45 > 1:02:57person know we want a car, they will get a car from someone else.
1:02:57 > 1:03:00Why do so many people put off going to the doctor
1:03:00 > 1:03:01to discuss worrying symptoms?
1:03:01 > 1:03:04A campaign is launching today to address this -
1:03:04 > 1:03:05it's called FoFo - the fear of finding out -
1:03:05 > 1:03:08and it's encouraging people to get checked out when they first notice
1:03:08 > 1:03:18something wrong.

1:03:57 > 1:03:58of Jacob Zuma.
1:03:58 > 1:04:01Mr Zuma's time in office has been marred by allegations of corruption,
1:04:01 > 1:04:04and his own party, the ANC had threatened to force him out
1:04:04 > 1:04:05with a vote of no confidence.
1:04:05 > 1:04:08In a televised statement he said he was quitting with immediate
1:04:08 > 1:04:17effect but said he disagreed with his party's decision.
1:04:17 > 1:04:20A 17-year-old has been stabbed to death in east london

1:04:40 > 1:04:42The consumption of ultra-processed foods, including cakes,
1:04:42 > 1:04:44chicken nuggets and mass-produced bread is linked to the risk
1:04:44 > 1:04:46of cancer, according to researchers in France.

1:05:01 > 1:05:03for a cyber attack last year, which affected businesses
1:05:03 > 1:05:04around the world.
1:05:04 > 1:05:06The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia

1:05:37 > 1:05:40of inappropriate behaviour, but it said his dismissal was not
1:05:40 > 1:05:42related to sexual misconduct, or the scandal in 2011 involving aid
1:05:42 > 1:05:51workers in Haiti paying local women for sex.
1:05:51 > 1:06:01That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10.30.
1:06:02 > 1:06:08E-mail from Mike about the ultra processed food and cancer rates.
1:06:08 > 1:06:12Mike says another day, another food scare, what next? Do not eat at all?
1:06:12 > 1:06:18This from Glenn. It is a fallacy that eating healthily is expensive.
1:06:18 > 1:06:25A bunch of bananas 89 pence versus one quid for chocolate.
1:06:25 > 1:06:31Broccoli, 45 pence versus processed chip, round 1.50. It is easy. People
1:06:31 > 1:06:35need help seeing past the doctrine that hell-0 equals expensive. Sport
1:06:35 > 1:06:39and Hugh is backGood morning. Britain could claim its first medal
1:06:39 > 1:06:43of the Winter Olympics after skeleton slider Dom Parsons put
1:06:43 > 1:06:47himself in a good position half way through his competition. He is in
1:06:47 > 1:06:52fourth after two of his four runs in Pyeongchang. 3 hundredth of a second
1:06:52 > 1:06:57from the bronze medal position. His final runs will be in the early
1:06:57 > 1:07:01hours of tomorrow morning A few mistakes on the first run. Probably
1:07:01 > 1:07:06a bit of race tension, ended up overdrying a couple of bits and a
1:07:06 > 1:07:11bit off line, but it is what it is I'm still in the mix I so I'll take
1:07:11 > 1:07:18that.The alpine skiing is back on in the blue ribbon event. The
1:07:18 > 1:07:21Norwegian became the oldest alpine skiing champion when he won the
1:07:21 > 1:07:30men's down hill. It is his second Olympic Gold. Mikaela Shifrin is
1:07:30 > 1:07:35expected to be one of those big success stories of the game, the
1:07:35 > 1:07:41American won her first gold of these 2018 games in the Giant Slalom. She
1:07:41 > 1:07:48is bidding for three more titles on the slopes.
1:07:52 > 1:08:00They had been fourth overnight after Massot completed a double instead of
1:08:00 > 1:08:06a triple Salchow. They beat their own record today to finish ahead of
1:08:06 > 1:08:12the pairs from China, and Canada. The curling is back on with the
1:08:12 > 1:08:15round-robin matches continuing. The men's team responded to their defeat
1:08:15 > 1:08:22to Canada yesterday with a win this morning against Japan. It was enough
1:08:22 > 1:08:29to win it at 6-5, they are done for the day, after that one match
1:08:29 > 1:08:36against Japan.It is something we talked about to be more consistent
1:08:36 > 1:08:39through the entire game, instead of having good spells and a few bad
1:08:39 > 1:08:44spells but I think we put that into action today. There was a couple of
1:08:44 > 1:08:47times things didn't look too good but we managed to get it out and it
1:08:47 > 1:08:51was a good team performance and we ground out the win.It is one win
1:08:51 > 1:08:57and one defeat for the women's team after losing to the United States,
1:08:57 > 1:09:01even Muirhead's rink were expected to win, they return to the ice to
1:09:01 > 1:09:04play China, just after 11 o'clock this morning, so they have more work
1:09:04 > 1:09:08to do today. Away from Pyeongchang, there was
1:09:08 > 1:09:11another hugely impressive performance for an English side in
1:09:11 > 1:09:13this Champions League. It was Liverpool's first game in the knock
1:09:13 > 1:09:20out stage, for nine year, they marked it with a naive nil win at
1:09:20 > 1:09:31Porto in po -- 5-0 win in Porto. It was very impressive from Liverpool.
1:09:31 > 1:09:35As it was from Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo became the first
1:09:35 > 1:09:38player to score 100 goals for a single club in the Champions League.
1:09:38 > 1:09:45He helped them come from behind to beat Paris St Germain. That was his
1:09:45 > 1:09:50second of the night. So 101 overall for Real Madrid. That is all your
1:09:50 > 1:09:56sport for now.
1:09:56 > 1:09:59Just seven weeks into 2018 and America has witnessed it's 18th
1:09:59 > 1:10:01school shooting this year - the eighth in which schoolchildren
1:10:01 > 1:10:02have been killed or injured.
1:10:02 > 1:10:05This time it's a community in Florida, recently named one
1:10:05 > 1:10:07of the safest in the country, which has seen another
1:10:07 > 1:10:10mass shooting.
1:10:10 > 1:10:12At least 17 people have been killed after a gunman
1:10:12 > 1:10:14opened fire with a rifle at Marjory Stoneman
1:10:14 > 1:10:17Douglas High School.
1:10:17 > 1:10:20Police and SWAT teams swarmed the campus and began evacuating
1:10:20 > 1:10:22terrified students from the school, which is about an hour north
1:10:22 > 1:10:25of Miami, as parents and ambulances gathered on the scene.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27This shocking footage shows students cowering as gunshots ring out.
1:10:27 > 1:10:30In the panic hundreds of students took shelter in classrooms
1:10:30 > 1:10:31and cupboards while emergency services methodically
1:10:31 > 1:10:41searched the school campus.
1:10:44 > 1:10:46Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old former pupil who had been
1:10:46 > 1:10:48expelled from the school, has been arrested.
1:10:48 > 1:10:58Police say the shooting has devastated the community.
1:11:03 > 1:11:05We have a shooter in custody.
1:11:05 > 1:11:07He was taken into custody, I believe, about an hour
1:11:07 > 1:11:09after he left Stoneman Douglas, after he committed this horrific
1:11:09 > 1:11:10homicidal, detestable act.
1:11:10 > 1:11:12The FBI and our crime scene people will
1:11:12 > 1:11:15begin processing this horrific scene as soon as the buildings are
1:11:15 > 1:11:22cleared.
1:11:22 > 1:11:27Shocked students and parents have been describing what they saw.
1:11:27 > 1:11:30The fire alarm got pulled and kids were
1:11:30 > 1:11:32evacuating.
1:11:32 > 1:11:34And I was like, that not a drill.
1:11:34 > 1:11:37We never did a drill like that.
1:11:37 > 1:11:40We started evacuating towards the back, towards the middle school.
1:11:40 > 1:11:43I knew it was more than a drill because we haven't done that.
1:11:43 > 1:11:44We just have to wait.
1:11:45 > 1:11:48And we kept hearing shooters and we didn't know
1:11:48 > 1:11:50if it was fireworks or shooters.
1:11:50 > 1:11:51We kept just going back and forth.
1:11:51 > 1:11:53And then it started going on news and
1:11:53 > 1:11:55found out what was really going on.
1:11:55 > 1:11:59Literally just came from there, picking up some kids along the way,
1:11:59 > 1:12:02because a lot of the kids are really distraught as you can imagine,
1:12:02 > 1:12:03So it's just terrifying.
1:12:03 > 1:12:05Terrified for the parents, terrified for the kids.
1:12:05 > 1:12:06Very emotional.
1:12:06 > 1:12:08The Governor of Florida, Rick Scott, vowed to do everything
1:12:08 > 1:12:11in his power to ensure children were safe at school.
1:12:11 > 1:12:16
1:12:16 > 1:12:17You're furious.
1:12:17 > 1:12:19How could this ever happen in this country?
1:12:19 > 1:12:20How could this happen in this state?
1:12:20 > 1:12:23This is a state that is focused on keeping all
1:12:23 > 1:12:24of our children safe.
1:12:24 > 1:12:26You come to the conclusion this is just absolutely
1:12:26 > 1:12:32pure evil.
1:12:32 > 1:12:35This state is not tolerating violence.
1:12:35 > 1:12:37We have law enforcement that will always show up
1:12:37 > 1:12:41to defend our safety.
1:12:41 > 1:12:43The shooting means another debate around tighter
1:12:43 > 1:12:44gun control in the US.
1:12:44 > 1:12:47Florida is now the scene of one of the deadliest US school shootings
1:12:47 > 1:12:49since the 2012 attack at the Sandy Hook Elementary School
1:12:49 > 1:12:58in Connecticut where 20 children and six staff members were killed.
1:12:58 > 1:13:00Chris Murphy is the Democratic Senator for Connecticut.
1:13:00 > 1:13:02He's made a passionate plea for action to be taken
1:13:02 > 1:13:12to prevent school shootings.
1:13:12 > 1:13:20This happens nowhere else other than the United States. This epidemic of
1:13:20 > 1:13:26mass slaughter. This scourge of school shooting after school
1:13:26 > 1:13:32shooting. It only happens here not because of
1:13:32 > 1:13:37coincidence, not because of bad luck, but as a consequence of our
1:13:37 > 1:13:46inaction. We are responsible.
1:13:46 > 1:13:50For a level of mass atrocity that happens in this country, with zero
1:13:50 > 1:14:01parallel. Anywhere else. As a parents, it scares me to death that
1:14:01 > 1:14:05this body doesn't take seriously the safety of my children. It seems like
1:14:05 > 1:14:09a lot of parents in south Florida are going to be asking that question
1:14:09 > 1:14:14later today. We pray for the families, for the victims, we hope
1:14:14 > 1:14:15for the best.
1:14:15 > 1:14:16for the best.
1:14:16 > 1:14:26President Trump tweeted his condolences saying:
1:14:30 > 1:14:32James LaPorta has been reporting from the scene of the shooting
1:14:32 > 1:14:34for The Daily Beast in Florida.
1:14:34 > 1:14:42He told me how the community has been reacting.
1:14:42 > 1:14:46Parents I have talked to here, they have this, you know, almost a little
1:14:46 > 1:14:52bit of survivors' Gill, in terms of like, for them, they thank God it
1:14:52 > 1:14:57wasn't their child who was killed in the shooting but then they almost
1:14:57 > 1:15:03feel bad for saying that, because they know someone else's family is
1:15:03 > 1:15:08impacted by this. You know, so it is a very just, it is a very sombre
1:15:08 > 1:15:13state right now, and it's very just kind of surreal, you know. Parents
1:15:13 > 1:15:18just, you know, the line that keeps getting uttered is, we never thought
1:15:18 > 1:15:25it would happen here, and that seems to be kind of the cliche now, every
1:15:25 > 1:15:29time this occurs, we never thought it would happen here and yet it
1:15:29 > 1:15:41does. So here we are.
1:16:01 > 1:16:07He posted some things that should have been a red flag. But cops
1:16:07 > 1:16:15should be killed, things of that nature, cops oppress the good guys,
1:16:15 > 1:16:22so to speak, language kind of like that. Usually, sometimes the red
1:16:22 > 1:16:28flags, hindsight, it tends to be 20-20, the red flags only pieced
1:16:28 > 1:16:33together in the aftermath of something like this. From what I can
1:16:33 > 1:16:38gather, before this, he had disciplinary problems at the school.
1:16:38 > 1:16:48He was a former student of the high school, he was expelled, he had a
1:16:48 > 1:16:54history of disciplinary problems, posting things on social media that
1:16:54 > 1:17:01probably should have raised flags at the time.Can you explain how
1:17:01 > 1:17:05somebody with a semiautomatic assault rifle can get onto school
1:17:05 > 1:17:15property, into a school?It is pretty easy. It is as simple as
1:17:15 > 1:17:21planning, all it takes is planning. For him, very easy to do. He
1:17:21 > 1:17:27conducted the shooting at the end of the day. In January, the county
1:17:27 > 1:17:34schools had finished their training drills, in terms of what classrooms
1:17:34 > 1:17:40are supposed to do if something like this occurs. That only just ended in
1:17:40 > 1:17:46January. So the procedures were fresh in his mind. Still has friends
1:17:46 > 1:17:52at the high school. Very easy for him to look for the methods that are
1:17:52 > 1:17:57in place at the school and to exploit the weaknesses there. In
1:17:57 > 1:18:02terms of him bringing guns onto the campus, very easy to do, especially
1:18:02 > 1:18:05with schools having the limited staff in terms of staff devoted to
1:18:05 > 1:18:12security.When the president says, no child, teacher or anyone else
1:18:12 > 1:18:15should ever feel unsafe in an American school, what do people
1:18:15 > 1:18:22think that means?I think he is right about that, although...In
1:18:22 > 1:18:27terms of what he will do in the future?The president is right, they
1:18:27 > 1:18:33should not feel that, but they are, they are scared right now. I have
1:18:33 > 1:18:39talked a couple of teachers here locally, an elementary school
1:18:39 > 1:18:43teacher, their school was near the high school, and from what she told
1:18:43 > 1:18:48me, she does not even know if she can do her job any more, being a
1:18:48 > 1:18:52teacher, she does not know if she can keep her children safe. She does
1:18:52 > 1:18:56not know if she can protect them. Parents are waking up not knowing
1:18:56 > 1:19:01what to tell their kids. While the president is correct that people
1:19:01 > 1:19:09should not feel that way, they are. And they are after every single time
1:19:09 > 1:19:14something like this happens. I said earlier it seems like we are in this
1:19:14 > 1:19:21for lack of a better term feedback loop from hell where a mass shooting
1:19:21 > 1:19:27occurs and then we have a political debate and then the debate drops off
1:19:27 > 1:19:35and it doesn't rise again until another mass shooting happens. It
1:19:35 > 1:19:41does not seem like, and this is just me being an observer, the lessons
1:19:41 > 1:19:47are being observed from shooting to shooting to shooting.Reporting from
1:19:47 > 1:19:55Florida. Still to come... One of Britain's most successful boxes,
1:19:55 > 1:20:00still fighting at 37, David Haye, how he is supporting up-and-coming
1:20:00 > 1:20:08boxers like Joe Joyce who will also be here.
1:20:08 > 1:20:11A BBC investigation has discovered that children as young as 12
1:20:11 > 1:20:13are being banned from driving - before they're legally old enough
1:20:13 > 1:20:15even to be behind the wheel.
1:20:15 > 1:20:18BBC Yorkshire found there has been a 47% rise in the number of driving
1:20:18 > 1:20:23disqualifications for children aged 16 or under in the last four years.
1:20:23 > 1:20:26The RAC say the figures are the tip of the iceberg.
1:20:26 > 1:20:28In a moment, we'll talk about what's behind the rise
1:20:28 > 1:20:30and what could be done to reverse it.
1:20:30 > 1:20:34But first, let's hear from an underage driver about how
1:20:34 > 1:20:37and why he breaks the law, and from the sisters
1:20:37 > 1:20:40of Darnell Harte, a 15-year-old who was killed in a crash in Leeds
1:20:40 > 1:20:43late last year when another 15-year-old crashed the stolen
1:20:43 > 1:20:46car he was driving.
1:20:46 > 1:20:49I do get a rush, you know, where I just want to put my
1:20:49 > 1:20:50foot down and go crazy.
1:20:50 > 1:20:53I've been in police chases and I've got away, because we know
1:20:53 > 1:20:55where we need to go.
1:21:08 > 1:21:10If there's a group of us, you know, we'll all chip in.
1:21:10 > 1:21:14We'll let an older person know that we want a car.
1:21:14 > 1:21:16And then they'll get a car from someone else and then
1:21:16 > 1:21:18they'll bring it to us.
1:21:18 > 1:21:23they'll bring it to us.
1:21:23 > 1:21:26Our house will never be the same, our family will never be the same.
1:21:26 > 1:21:36Darnell was literally the heart of our family.
1:21:52 > 1:21:56The judge should have said, I'm going to set an example,
1:21:56 > 1:21:57The judge should have said, I'm going to set an example,
1:21:57 > 1:22:01I'm going to teach young boys, or young girls, or young people that
1:22:01 > 1:22:04feel it is OK to steal a car that it's not OK,
1:22:04 > 1:22:07these are the consequences of your actions.
1:22:07 > 1:22:09Because, you know, regardless of your age,
1:22:09 > 1:22:13you know what you're doing.
1:22:13 > 1:22:16Let's talk to Paul Silverwood who runs a car club teaching
1:22:16 > 1:22:24youngsters under the age of 17 to drive.
1:22:24 > 1:22:26Nicole, who learnt to drive
1:22:26 > 1:22:27at the under-17s Car Club.
1:22:27 > 1:22:29And Claire Evans, who is consumer editor at What Car magazine.
1:22:29 > 1:22:32I want
1:22:32 > 1:22:35I want you to react with the fact that children as young as 12 are
1:22:35 > 1:22:40being banned from driving according to the BBC Yorkshire figures.
1:22:40 > 1:22:46Shocking. What surprised me is the rate of increase, 47% over the last
1:22:46 > 1:22:51four years, really shocking. The other statistics that concerns me is
1:22:51 > 1:22:58the driving bans start from the day they appear in court, if you're 15,
1:22:58 > 1:23:04you get a two-year ban, it does not have an effect. There should be a
1:23:04 > 1:23:10ban and another ban from when they are 17. What do you think?Agree. I
1:23:10 > 1:23:17think it is terrible they are able to do this. It is perhaps kids in
1:23:17 > 1:23:21inner cities are not able to drive kids legally when they are older
1:23:21 > 1:23:26because it is so expensive, they cannot afford the insurance, £2000 a
1:23:26 > 1:23:30year on top of the cost of a car, a lot of kids will not get their own
1:23:30 > 1:23:36cars.So they steal them and sometimes end up dead? Killing
1:23:36 > 1:23:42others?Yes, absolutely terrible.I wonder if you could explain the
1:23:42 > 1:23:47attraction for you of wanting to learn to drive, Nicole, before you
1:23:47 > 1:23:54reach the age of 17? Why not wait?I wanted to start so I could get the
1:23:54 > 1:23:58experience of driving before I was on the road, I wanted to be
1:23:58 > 1:24:01confident before I got onto the road. That was the main thing,
1:24:01 > 1:24:07really. I did not want to make mistakes and put anyone else in
1:24:07 > 1:24:11danger, I learnt on the airfield, I got the chance to learn the basics
1:24:11 > 1:24:17like clutch control without actually having to make everyone else stop
1:24:17 > 1:24:24and nervous around me. That was the main reason, really.Can you see why
1:24:24 > 1:24:29there is an attraction for other young people before the age of 17 to
1:24:29 > 1:24:33want to get behind the wheel of a car?I can see where the attraction
1:24:33 > 1:24:40is. I love driving, absolutely love it now. I was never that King before
1:24:40 > 1:24:44I started driving, but when I started getting the hang of it,
1:24:44 > 1:24:52getting good, it is like a hobby now and I love it -- I was never keen. I
1:24:52 > 1:24:57also help now.Tell us more about the people who come through your
1:24:57 > 1:25:01club who want to learn to drive before the age of 17 and where you
1:25:01 > 1:25:07do it and how you do it safely?We have a mix, roughly 50% male and
1:25:07 > 1:25:11female. There was a perception it is a boys thing because that is what
1:25:11 > 1:25:17boys like to do but it is not the case at all. We have an under 17 car
1:25:17 > 1:25:25club which is from 11 up to 18 and we use airfields, racing tracks, off
1:25:25 > 1:25:32the public road, so we are legal.Do you think it helps stop people
1:25:32 > 1:25:36driving illegally? Teenagers driving illegally?Yes, I think it gives
1:25:36 > 1:25:40them an outlet for that desire but it is done in a safe environment.
1:25:40 > 1:25:44The key thing for us is the technical side of driving is
1:25:44 > 1:25:48relatively easy. The main thing is that attitude, taking
1:25:48 > 1:25:51responsibility, having regard for your peers for the vehicle you are
1:25:51 > 1:26:00driving, it is virtually never the youngstersomeone else's. We do a lot
1:26:00 > 1:26:06of stuff around attitude, peer pressure, discussions on that,
1:26:06 > 1:26:13giving them help on how they can be asserted in situations they might
1:26:13 > 1:26:17find themselves in.What sort of peer pressure might they come under?
1:26:17 > 1:26:22One of the examples we use as you go to a nightclub, you come out, two
1:26:22 > 1:26:28o'clock in the morning, someone promised you a lift home, they have
1:26:28 > 1:26:31disappeared, and you are stuck. But a friend says their boyfriend will
1:26:31 > 1:26:37give you a lift. You know he has been drinking. What do you do? Get
1:26:37 > 1:26:43the car? Take the risk? That is the debate we have.How old are
1:26:43 > 1:26:50children?20 and 17.In terms of the desire to learn to drive, everybody
1:26:50 > 1:26:56has got it, haven't they?Yes. My daughter in particular. We live in
1:26:56 > 1:27:01Southeast London and the roads are really busy and people are not very
1:27:01 > 1:27:05forgiving for learner drivers so I took my son on a course, the
1:27:05 > 1:27:09five-day course, he got to learn on an airfield and everyone gave each
1:27:09 > 1:27:17other enough space.How old was he? 17. He appreciated it. In a week, he
1:27:17 > 1:27:20gained complete confidence. He came back home and had driving lessons
1:27:20 > 1:27:25and he would come out in the car for me and not feel panicky about being
1:27:25 > 1:27:29in a crowded situation. It gave him a huge amount of confidence.As you
1:27:29 > 1:27:35were learning at the under 17s car club, Nicole, just thinking about
1:27:35 > 1:27:40when I was 14, 15, certainly not mature enough when I look back to be
1:27:40 > 1:27:47learning to drive?Yeah, I did find it really hard at first, really
1:27:47 > 1:27:51stressful, I definitely did not pick it up at first, I was not a natural,
1:27:51 > 1:27:56but everyone was so nice, really reassuring. The marshals were really
1:27:56 > 1:28:04nice and I have made good friends with them now. It was very, very no
1:28:04 > 1:28:07pressure, you could do it at your own pace, it was definitely easier
1:28:07 > 1:28:14than learning to drive on the roads. Still, some of your contemporaries,
1:28:14 > 1:28:19where there are some who wanted to show off behind the wheel?Yeah,
1:28:19 > 1:28:25sometimes it happens. But as Marshall, we to either pull them
1:28:25 > 1:28:30aside... We do the peer pressure talks and it is called a breaking
1:28:30 > 1:28:36demonstration so we showed them that speed affects braking distances and
1:28:36 > 1:28:40how much impact that can have on motorways and speeding and stuff
1:28:40 > 1:28:45like that. It gives them a reality check once they start getting more
1:28:45 > 1:28:51confident.The reality is also these kinds of courses are under 17s are
1:28:51 > 1:28:57not the kind of things teenagers stealing cars will be interested in
1:28:57 > 1:29:01will be able to afford either.It is relatively cheap, the five-day
1:29:01 > 1:29:08course, £170.That is not relatively cheap!We have a bursary scheme for
1:29:08 > 1:29:12those on low income is. You have to provide a car, there has to be a
1:29:12 > 1:29:20level of income.That is what I mean. Your course... What would you
1:29:20 > 1:29:25say to that, Claire?Talk to the Pathfinder people, if your kid is
1:29:25 > 1:29:30really keen, see how they can help, there are a lot of... They are great
1:29:30 > 1:29:36charity. A lot of people want to help. You do not have to pay a lot
1:29:36 > 1:29:39of money for insurance on private land. Definitely worth getting in
1:29:39 > 1:29:45touch with people.I think the benefits outweigh the cost. Because
1:29:45 > 1:29:52we are saving the nation lots of, millions of pounds, in terms of not
1:29:52 > 1:29:58having accidents causing death or injury.Thank you all very much. And
1:29:58 > 1:30:02if you're watching in Yorkshire, you can see more on this story on BBC
1:30:02 > 1:30:11One at 6:30pm tonight.
1:30:11 > 1:30:14Coming up, what next for South African President Zuma has resigned?
1:30:14 > 1:30:19We will talk to a member of the ANC party. Why do so many people put off
1:30:19 > 1:30:30going the doctors a new campaign is encouraging people to find out when
1:30:30 > 1:30:34they first noticed something is wrong. We will talk to Jeff Brazier
1:30:34 > 1:30:39who lost his former girlfriend Jade Goody to cancer.
1:30:39 > 1:30:42Time for the latest news - here's Annita McVeigh.
1:30:42 > 1:30:44A former pupil armed with a semi-automatic rifle has
1:30:44 > 1:30:47opened fire at his school in south Florida, killing at least 17
1:30:47 > 1:30:48children and adults.
1:30:48 > 1:30:50Several other people are in hospital with serious
1:30:50 > 1:30:52injuries, after the attack at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
1:30:52 > 1:30:53school in Parkland, near Miami.
1:30:53 > 1:30:55It's the eighteenth shooting at an American school this year.
1:30:55 > 1:30:58Police have named the suspect as 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz,
1:30:58 > 1:31:08a former student who had been expelled.
1:31:10 > 1:31:13The ANC leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, will be sworn in as South Africa's
1:31:13 > 1:31:15new president later today , following the
1:31:15 > 1:31:16resignation of Jacob Zuma.
1:31:16 > 1:31:19Mr Zuma's time in office has been marred by allegations of corruption,
1:31:19 > 1:31:21and his own party, the ANC had threatened to force him out
1:31:22 > 1:31:24with a vote of no confidence.
1:31:24 > 1:31:26In a televised statement he said he was quitting with immediate
1:31:26 > 1:31:31effect but said he disagreed with his party's decision.
1:31:31 > 1:31:33A 17-year-old has been stabbed to death in East London
1:31:33 > 1:31:35in a "sustained and possibly targeted attack" -
1:31:35 > 1:31:37the third teenager fatally knifed in the capital this year.
1:31:37 > 1:31:40The Metropolitan Police said officers were called to reports
1:31:40 > 1:31:43of a young person with stab wounds at an address in Canning Town,
1:31:43 > 1:31:45shortly after eight o clock on Wednesday night.
1:31:45 > 1:31:55So far no-one has been arrested.
1:31:55 > 1:31:56
1:31:56 > 1:31:57The consumption of ultra-processed foods, including cakes,
1:31:57 > 1:32:00chicken nuggets and mass-produced bread is linked to the risk
1:32:00 > 1:32:02of cancer, according to researchers in France.
1:32:02 > 1:32:04The study of more than one hundred thousand people is published
1:32:04 > 1:32:05in the British Medical Journal.
1:32:05 > 1:32:07Experts have expressed caution, but continue to advise eating
1:32:08 > 1:32:15a health balanced diet.
1:32:15 > 1:32:16
1:32:16 > 1:32:18The government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
1:32:18 > 1:32:20for a cyber attack last year, which affected
1:32:20 > 1:32:21businesses around the world.
1:32:21 > 1:32:23The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
1:32:23 > 1:32:25was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
1:32:25 > 1:32:26and weaponising information".
1:32:26 > 1:32:36Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.
1:32:37 > 1:32:39Sinn Fein is expected to outline its next move today
1:32:39 > 1:32:41following the collapse of negotiations to restore
1:32:41 > 1:32:42power-sharing at Stormont.
1:32:42 > 1:32:44Talks ended yesterday when the Democratic Unionist Party

1:34:09 > 1:34:11A new campaign is being launched today to raise awareness
1:34:11 > 1:34:13of spotting early symptoms of many common illnesses.
1:34:13 > 1:34:16FOFO stands for the fear of finding out and the campaign is highlighting
1:34:16 > 1:34:18the importance of early diagnosis and encouraging people
1:34:18 > 1:34:19to see their doctor.
1:34:19 > 1:34:21It's being backed by TV presenter Jeff Brazier,
1:34:21 > 1:34:24whose sons lost their mum, Big Brother star Jade Goody,
1:34:24 > 1:34:33from cervical cancer after she put off going for a smear test.
1:34:35 > 1:34:39Jeff is here, as is Dr Philippa Kaye, who is a family GP,
1:34:39 > 1:34:42and on Skype from Plymouth, Mark McGovern, a landscape gardener
1:34:42 > 1:34:44who had a stroke after ignoring the symptoms of type 2
1:34:44 > 1:34:49diabetes for five years.
1:34:49 > 1:34:55Welcome as well to you Mark. EJeff, I mean you know more than most, how
1:34:55 > 1:35:00important it is not to delay seeing a doctorI absolutely, I am the
1:35:00 > 1:35:05father of two bereaved children who have been put at a huge disadvantage
1:35:05 > 1:35:09throughout their childhood. The amount of knock on effects it has on
1:35:09 > 1:35:14their education, on their social abilities, behavioural changes as
1:35:14 > 1:35:19well,...Losing their mum?Yes, I mean, you know as such a young age,
1:35:19 > 1:35:25four and five, I can see, for the last nine years experienced first
1:35:25 > 1:35:28hand the effects of the loss of a parent, but also within you consider
1:35:28 > 1:35:34that it was potentially avoidable, well there is no potentially, it was
1:35:34 > 1:35:43unnecessary and you imagine that it was Jade's fear of finding out what
1:35:43 > 1:35:47those cervical irregularities were, because she had quite a few
1:35:47 > 1:35:52letterers and I can only imagine she wasn't putting it into the context
1:35:52 > 1:35:57we would have preferred her to, when you became a parent it is not just
1:35:57 > 1:36:01about look after your own health and wellbeing, it is looking after,
1:36:01 > 1:36:05sorry it is not about just looking after the children it is your own as
1:36:05 > 1:36:11well, and if she had known that by going into denial, avoidance,
1:36:11 > 1:36:15suppression of not wanting to see what that reality was, what was
1:36:15 > 1:36:20going on within her body, if he knew she would lose her battle cancer,
1:36:20 > 1:36:24then I know she would have come to a very different conclusion earlier
1:36:24 > 1:36:30on.What has been the impact on the boys would you say inSo the impact
1:36:30 > 1:36:36is again, they are just emotionally, they are less, they are less may be
1:36:36 > 1:36:40stable than an average child. They can be a lot of things that happen
1:36:40 > 1:36:44domesticically that can happen children, as enough as I try to be
1:36:44 > 1:36:48the all to them, I can never replace mum. It is a sense of identity they
1:36:48 > 1:36:52lose because you know, you find out a lot about who you are in life
1:36:52 > 1:36:55through who your mum and dad is s they have one who is present and
1:36:55 > 1:37:01still there, and trying to get as much right as he can, they have lost
1:37:01 > 1:37:05that big character that was their mum, that would have given them
1:37:05 > 1:37:09twice as much unconditional love as they received. So it is hard on the
1:37:09 > 1:37:13kids, and when you know it was avoidable, it is just, it is hard
1:37:13 > 1:37:18not to sit there and feel regret at time, regret for a decision that us
1:37:18 > 1:37:21withn't made, regret for a decision that could have been made better,
1:37:21 > 1:37:26you know. Phillipa, do you understand from a
1:37:26 > 1:37:30GP's point of view this sort of psychological barrier, this obstacle
1:37:30 > 1:37:35that we put in place, to stop ourselves going to the doctors to
1:37:35 > 1:37:40check out?Absolutely, we are not talking about the come coughs and
1:37:40 > 1:37:44cold, we are not talking about people who come to the GP for a sore
1:37:44 > 1:37:48throat. We are taking about more serious thing, the fear of finding
1:37:48 > 1:37:52out can be split, into what that is, for some people, it is, they don't
1:37:52 > 1:37:57like the doctor, they are scared of needle, they are scared of what the
1:37:57 > 1:38:03intervention will be, for others they are scared of the stigma, the
1:38:03 > 1:38:07effects on their family, their job and denial is is a hugely powerful
1:38:07 > 1:38:11tool that we use sometimes to protect us, essentially what happens
1:38:11 > 1:38:15is that you deny, and you put aside until a trigger comes along, that
1:38:15 > 1:38:20forces you to do something, sometimes that trigger is early and
1:38:20 > 1:38:23it's somebody else was ill or a family friend or something like
1:38:23 > 1:38:27that, and sometimes it is yourself when an emergency happens, or pain
1:38:27 > 1:38:32starts to kick in. We want people to present before that trigger, before
1:38:32 > 1:38:37something happens, come to us early. Even if you know that you have a
1:38:37 > 1:38:43fear, and you are well, come and tell us what that is. If it is for
1:38:43 > 1:38:53example needle phobia and you are care scared of pain I can give you a
1:38:53 > 1:38:56local anaesthetic, preprevention is better.No-one is going to come to a
1:38:56 > 1:38:59doctor, they won't make an appointment to come and say I am
1:38:59 > 1:39:05worried are about needles. I need to tell you this now, in case I have to
1:39:05 > 1:39:08have an injection.I don't think that is true. People come to us for
1:39:08 > 1:39:14a sore throat for an hour, and they have access to us, and they come
1:39:14 > 1:39:20quickly. I have had athlete foots for two day, if you say I have a
1:39:20 > 1:39:23genuine phobia, that is a mental health problem and we need to do
1:39:23 > 1:39:27something about it. If people are willing to come for minor thing,
1:39:27 > 1:39:31come for something that could have a huge impact on your life.Mark,
1:39:31 > 1:39:34hello, thank you for talking to us, you knew something wasn't right
1:39:34 > 1:39:39because you were going to the loo more, you experienced a lack of
1:39:39 > 1:39:42concentration, numbness and so on, what was it stopped you going to the
1:39:42 > 1:39:50doctors to get the symptoms checked outBasic sickly I had a TIA, back
1:39:50 > 1:39:52if March 2016What is that?
1:39:55 > 1:40:02Oh I think the Skype has frozen.It wasn't until I got to hospital that
1:40:02 > 1:40:07I actually got diagnosed with diabetes type two. Because I had not
1:40:07 > 1:40:11been to the doctors and got my symptoms checked out, that is why I
1:40:11 > 1:40:14had the stroke. Right.
1:40:14 > 1:40:17And when you weren't going to the GP, perhaps you were thinking, I
1:40:17 > 1:40:21ought to get these things checked out. What did you think was going
1:40:21 > 1:40:27on?To be honest, I thought they were just little thing, I didn't
1:40:27 > 1:40:32think they were important, because it wasn't all happening at once, and
1:40:32 > 1:40:36GPs and the NHS is stretched to the limits at the moment as it is, so I
1:40:36 > 1:40:40didn't want to be a burden to the doctors or the NHS for you know,
1:40:40 > 1:40:47little things as I saw them, so that was my thinking behind it, but I an
1:40:47 > 1:40:52a typical bloke. I can dismiss things and excuse things for not to
1:40:52 > 1:40:58do something like go to the doctors. A TIA is a mini-stroke, you ended up
1:40:58 > 1:41:05being hospitalised, what were you thinking, when doctors at the
1:41:05 > 1:41:08hospital said you had type 2 diabetes?Initially I was shocked
1:41:08 > 1:41:15when hay told me, because I just said no -- I had no idea that that
1:41:15 > 1:41:22was the case, and then I was scared because of my family, my future, and
1:41:22 > 1:41:27then anger set in, because I could have done something so much sooner
1:41:27 > 1:41:30and I wouldn'ted have ended up in the position I did do.
1:41:30 > 1:41:36But I mean when you think back, was... Obviously you now wished you
1:41:36 > 1:41:40had gone to the GPs earlier, what would have made do you that when you
1:41:40 > 1:41:51think about how you used to?If I had seen...I think Mark was going
1:41:51 > 1:41:56to say if he had seen a campaign like this oneIt is each
1:41:56 > 1:41:59individual's relationship with their own fear, I would like everybody to
1:41:59 > 1:42:03aevaluate that, we have got together with live lab to create this
1:42:03 > 1:42:08wonderful app so people can go and have, it is take a quiz and they can
1:42:08 > 1:42:11find out quickly, it doesn't take long to take what their relationship
1:42:11 > 1:42:17with fear is and be given advice off the back of it as to if they have
1:42:17 > 1:42:21worrying symptoms what they can do with it. It is pretestimonitive. It
1:42:21 > 1:42:24is let us establish the fact before anything is wrong with you, whether
1:42:24 > 1:42:28you have a barrier, whether you have a relationship with fear that might
1:42:28 > 1:42:33stop you from taking the responsible steps, if not for you but for you
1:42:33 > 1:42:38family and those that love you, as I know only too well, it is all about
1:42:38 > 1:42:42keeping yourself healthy for the whole family, because we all need
1:42:42 > 1:42:47you, that is a parents' job first and foremost.If I can mention
1:42:47 > 1:42:50taking the responsible steps, if not for you but for you family and those
1:42:50 > 1:42:53that love you, as I know only too well, it is all about keeping
1:42:53 > 1:42:55yourself healthy for the whole family, because we all need you,
1:42:55 > 1:42:57that is a parents' job first and foremost. If I can mention about
1:42:57 > 1:43:01being a burden, "I don't want to be a Burten" the cost if we can get to
1:43:01 > 1:43:03things early, and use preventative treatment or manage diabetes before
1:43:03 > 1:43:06there is a complication, it costs less to the NHS, than if we have
1:43:06 > 1:43:07serious complication and we need surgery, radiotherapy, that costs
1:43:07 > 1:43:12more than the cost of in Jade's example some little treatment to the
1:43:12 > 1:43:17cervix and so that burden is greater with the latest dyings sips not just
1:43:17 > 1:43:20to the family, their lives but to the NHS.
1:43:20 > 1:43:23There was three layers of reasoning that you hear from Mark's example,
1:43:23 > 1:43:28is I don't want to be a burden, they are just little things, I am a
1:43:28 > 1:43:32typical bloke, you can hear tip. I bet we could have a conversation
1:43:32 > 1:43:37with hundreds of people and you would pick them out. Let us get rid
1:43:37 > 1:43:40of that mentality and let us make ourselves more important to
1:43:40 > 1:43:46ourselves than we do sometimes. Quick final worse word from you
1:43:46 > 1:43:50Mark, a message for putting off going to the doctor, what would you
1:43:50 > 1:43:59sayYou know you own body, you know when something is amiss. Just speak
1:43:59 > 1:44:04to somebody.Please go. That is the message.Listen to your body.Thank
1:44:04 > 1:44:12you. Thank you very much, we appreciate it. Thank you.
1:44:12 > 1:44:14Cyril Ramaphosa is due to become South Africa's president
1:44:14 > 1:44:16after embattled leader Jacob Zuma resigned.
1:44:16 > 1:44:19Mr Zuma was under intense pressure from his own ANC party,
1:44:19 > 1:44:21which told him to step down or face a vote of no-confidence
1:44:21 > 1:44:22in parliament.
1:44:22 > 1:44:35In a televised statement, he said he was quitting with immediate
1:44:35 > 1:44:41The ANC should never be divided in my name. I have therefore come to
1:44:41 > 1:44:47the decision to resign as president of the republic with immediate
1:44:47 > 1:44:53effect.
1:44:53 > 1:44:57So, just who is Cyril Ramaphosa?
1:44:57 > 1:45:00Take a look at this.
1:45:45 > 1:45:49That I will be faithful to the Republic of South Africa, so help me
1:45:49 > 1:45:54God.
1:46:04 > 1:46:09It has definitely had a very negative impact on the economy of
1:46:09 > 1:46:14our country, whether people want to accept it or not, it has.
1:46:15 > 1:46:18Let's speak now to Dr Penuell Maduna,
1:46:18 > 1:46:20who served as a minister under South African presidents Nelson
1:46:20 > 1:46:25Mandela and Thabo Mbeki, and remains an ANC member.
1:46:25 > 1:46:25How and remains an ANC member.
1:46:25 > 1:46:26How do and remains an ANC member.
1:46:26 > 1:46:26How do you and remains an ANC member.
1:46:26 > 1:46:26How do you react and remains an ANC member.
1:46:26 > 1:46:26How do you react to and remains an ANC member.
1:46:26 > 1:46:28How do you react to the and remains an ANC member.
1:46:28 > 1:46:28How do you react to the fact and remains an ANC member.
1:46:28 > 1:46:29How do you react to the fact Jacob and remains an ANC member.
1:46:29 > 1:46:34How do you react to the fact Jacob Zuma has finally gone?In fact, I
1:46:34 > 1:46:42fully accept and endorse what has happened.And how will Cyril
1:46:42 > 1:46:50Ramaphosa be different?Well, that is a very interesting question. He
1:46:50 > 1:47:00has so far been making all the right noises about what has gone wrong,
1:47:00 > 1:47:10not only with the ANC but with the country itself. You know, we are not
1:47:10 > 1:47:18looking for an angel in a human being, we're not looking for someone
1:47:18 > 1:47:28who drops in from somewhere, we are looking at a human being accepting
1:47:28 > 1:47:36that everyone of us both strengths and weaknesses or human foibles. But
1:47:36 > 1:47:43you are looking at a man who at least exhibits the courage to change
1:47:43 > 1:47:49the way we have been doing things, particularly in the last nine years.
1:47:49 > 1:47:55OK, what should be number one on Cyril Ramaphosa's priority list, the
1:47:55 > 1:48:01new president? What is the first thing he needs to do, in your view,
1:48:01 > 1:48:05briefly?Well, for me, the first thing would be to remove all the
1:48:05 > 1:48:10square pegs that are in round holes. What does that mean in plain
1:48:10 > 1:48:18English?All the terrible appointments that were made for all
1:48:18 > 1:48:24manner of reasons, those must go. People who are linked directly or
1:48:24 > 1:48:33indirectly to what has gone wrong with the ANC itself, in many
1:48:33 > 1:48:39instances, people whose deeds and utterances have tarnished the image
1:48:39 > 1:48:46of ANC have got to go.Anyone who is a friend of Jacob Zuma, effectively?
1:48:46 > 1:48:53That is precisely the point, yes. That is the first thing. You cannot
1:48:53 > 1:48:57present this country people who have been exposed as having done all of
1:48:57 > 1:49:04things that constitute whatever we understand by state capture.OK,
1:49:04 > 1:49:09thank you very much for your time, we are grateful, Dr Penuell Maduna,
1:49:09 > 1:49:13a member of the ANC.
1:49:13 > 1:49:15David Haye is one of this country's most successful boxers.
1:49:15 > 1:49:19He's due to take to the ring again in May for a rematch
1:49:19 > 1:49:20with Tony Bellew after he famously, and excruciatingly,
1:49:20 > 1:49:24tore his Achilles during their last fight.
1:49:24 > 1:49:28But he's also become a promoter, manager and a mentor
1:49:28 > 1:49:29and is backing British Olympic silver medaliist
1:49:29 > 1:49:33Joe Joyce in his second professional fight tomorrow.
1:49:33 > 1:49:36Joe is Britain's most decorated male amateur boxer who wants to become
1:49:36 > 1:49:38a household name, a bit like his old sparring
1:49:38 > 1:49:47partner, Anthony Joshua.
1:49:47 > 1:49:51Good morning. Thank you for coming on the programme. Starting with
1:49:51 > 1:49:59David, we will talk about your fight tomorrow, but at 37... Yes, sounds
1:49:59 > 1:50:04strange! Can your body withstand the rigours of fighting and training?
1:50:04 > 1:50:09Last time, it didn't. I slapped my Achilles tendon in half,
1:50:09 > 1:50:13reconstructive surgery, and a few months ago, I snapped my bicep. A
1:50:13 > 1:50:18lot of people think, no. I believe with the right new training and
1:50:18 > 1:50:23nutrition, I believe there are a couple of fights left in me. Tony
1:50:23 > 1:50:27Bellew, great fight last time, I'm looking forward to it. Although the
1:50:27 > 1:50:33fight did not go my way, everyone got a good night's entertainment.
1:50:33 > 1:50:38That is why I am in boxing, to entertain and although I lost, it
1:50:38 > 1:50:42was an entertaining fight. We will do it all over again at the O2
1:50:42 > 1:50:48Arena. You're not in boxing win estimateI am in boxing to win. I
1:50:48 > 1:50:57had one leg and I was still swinging to the brim to the bitter end. --
1:50:57 > 1:51:01you are not in boxing to win? A lot of people do not believe I have it,
1:51:01 > 1:51:08in my heart, I believe I do, I am in boxing to prove I am the best.I
1:51:08 > 1:51:15think you have fought three times in six years.Yes. On paper...My
1:51:15 > 1:51:22eyebrows are here.On paper, not good. When Muhammad Ali went to
1:51:22 > 1:51:27fight George Foreman, he had lost a couple of big fights, yet George
1:51:27 > 1:51:31Foreman had knocked them out, they said, no chance, too old, he turned
1:51:31 > 1:51:37it around, his legacy was on winning the fight is on paper he should not
1:51:37 > 1:51:43win. If I win the fights I have left in me, it will solidify my legacy as
1:51:43 > 1:51:50one of the best British fighters ever.Muhammad Ali, your hero. His
1:51:50 > 1:51:55career, he perhaps left it too late to walk away, you do not want to do
1:51:55 > 1:52:00the same.100%. The difference with me, even my last fight I lost, I did
1:52:00 > 1:52:04not take that many head shots, I have very good defence, slip and
1:52:04 > 1:52:12slide, I will know when it is time to step away from the ring. In
1:52:12 > 1:52:17training, I'm doing things I have never done before, a new coach, and
1:52:17 > 1:52:22we have brought over Joe's coach over from Las Vegas, I have a new
1:52:22 > 1:52:27lease of life, really enjoying it. Definitely not time to retire.
1:52:27 > 1:52:31Hello, Joe. Silver Olympic medallist, among many titles. You
1:52:31 > 1:52:35went pro last year, tell me about your second professional fight
1:52:35 > 1:52:46tomorrow.I am going to fight Rudolf Jozic. He will be strong. Six foot
1:52:46 > 1:52:54five. He can bang. It will be a really entertaining fight.Is it? I
1:52:54 > 1:52:59have read a lot in the run-up to this, everybody seems to be saying
1:52:59 > 1:53:02it will be very straightforward for you and not potentially as
1:53:02 > 1:53:07challenging as your first professional fight?Possibly. But he
1:53:07 > 1:53:13is heavyweight and I have to be on my... I have to be switched on, not
1:53:13 > 1:53:18take any silly shots, perform to the best of my ability, and I will
1:53:18 > 1:53:25obviously come through, should I do that.OK. Obviously, I want to ask
1:53:25 > 1:53:30you about the silver medal, 2016, many felt the judges robbed you of
1:53:30 > 1:53:38gold, is that still brought with you?No, I have moved on. Nearly two
1:53:38 > 1:53:45years ago.-- is that still raw for you?I came back with an Olympic
1:53:45 > 1:53:51medal. I felt I put everything in and unfortunately, I did not get the
1:53:51 > 1:53:56gold medal which I aim to do at the time and it was my long-term dream,
1:53:56 > 1:54:03but I am an Olympian and I will make an impact in professional boxing. I
1:54:03 > 1:54:07will just concentrate on that now. Given your options, looking around
1:54:07 > 1:54:12the professional world, why did you link up with David and his
1:54:12 > 1:54:19promotional outfit?I like to be a bit different and I felt David is
1:54:19 > 1:54:27very good at self-promotion and I kind of wanted to do something
1:54:27 > 1:54:35different and I felt he had a lot to offer and to teach me, alongside
1:54:35 > 1:54:51Richard who was currently running Ringo -- Ringstar.Where do you both
1:54:51 > 1:54:57stand on Anthony Joshua?I only got on the GB team after he had
1:54:57 > 1:55:06qualified for London, so then he went before me and he had his
1:55:06 > 1:55:17Olympics and then it was my turn to represent the country at Rio Games.
1:55:17 > 1:55:21Obviously, I had seen how he was doing in his pro career, I did a lot
1:55:21 > 1:55:29of round sparring on the GB team, so we have helped each other along the
1:55:29 > 1:55:34way because obviously having him as a sparring partner, getting ready
1:55:34 > 1:55:38for major championships like Europeans, worlds, Olympic Games,
1:55:38 > 1:55:44great to have a world champion to spark because I know any opponent I
1:55:44 > 1:55:52may face may not be quite as good -- to spar. Great to have someone on
1:55:52 > 1:55:56that level to challenge me so when I am at the competitions, it is a lot
1:55:56 > 1:56:03easier.How do you rate Anthony Joshua?Brilliant. Undefeated, 20
1:56:03 > 1:56:10fights, 20 knockouts, he has won in an exciting manner, he is the ideal
1:56:10 > 1:56:12heavyweight champion, young, probably ten years younger than me.
1:56:12 > 1:56:18He has led a boom in British boxing. He has, injected in the youth, the
1:56:18 > 1:56:22young kids coming through, they see him, they aspire to be the next
1:56:22 > 1:56:30Anthony Joshua. I'm 37, ten years older...If you beat Tony Bellew,
1:56:30 > 1:56:36could you fight Anthony Joshua?For me, I would be such an underdog.You
1:56:36 > 1:56:41would.How do you build your legacy without fights like that? No good
1:56:41 > 1:56:47fighting people everyone knows I will beat. If I beat someone three
1:56:47 > 1:56:50inches taller, ten years younger, three stone heavier, that will leave
1:56:50 > 1:56:55a legacy. The biggest possible fights for me and the most dangerous
1:56:55 > 1:57:02fights are the ones I have gone after. For instance, when I won ten
1:57:02 > 1:57:07years ago, no one thought I could beat him, I did it. A lot of people
1:57:07 > 1:57:10now remember that huge fight. I want the biggest fights in the most
1:57:10 > 1:57:18exciting fights.Are you addicted? Do you need the money?No. I have
1:57:18 > 1:57:22been very comfortable for a while. It gets beyond the financial thing,
1:57:22 > 1:57:26it becomes a legacy thing, how you are remembered in years to come. I
1:57:26 > 1:57:30have always loved the thought of being a massive underdog. I always
1:57:30 > 1:57:36liked that, I liked to go against the grain and take the fights people
1:57:36 > 1:57:41do not expect.Finally, I want to ask you, if I may, the women who go
1:57:41 > 1:57:45into the ring between each round holding up a sign, you know motor
1:57:45 > 1:57:49racing has got rid of them, should boxing get rid of that ring girls?
1:57:49 > 1:57:56As far as I have been in boxing, they have been there, telling you
1:57:56 > 1:58:01the round, useful tool between rounds, you are so connected to the
1:58:01 > 1:58:05fight, you forget what brand it is, the girl gets up...Practical use,
1:58:05 > 1:58:11but what about...Where else do you find out what the round is? No
1:58:11 > 1:58:18screens in the smaller fights.Men could do it.In Sweden, there was a
1:58:18 > 1:58:23female world champion, she had ring men.It works both ways. Good luck
1:58:23 > 1:58:27for tomorrow night. Good luck in May. Thank you very much for coming
1:58:27 > 1:58:33on the programme. Thanks for watching. We are back tomorrow
