0:00:48 > 0:00:54Absolutely shocking and devastating. Especially as a family if these
0:00:54 > 0:00:57things happen, it's just unacceptable.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04A review of fire and building regulations,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07following the Grenfell Tower fire, says the current system
0:02:07 > 0:02:11isn't fit for purpose, and a culture change is required
0:02:11 > 0:02:14to ensure that safety is prioritised over cost.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Dame Judith Hackitt, in her interim review for the government,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20makes a series of recommendations to simplify the rules and change
0:02:20 > 0:02:23the way they are overseen.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26She says she's been shocked by some of the practices she's heard about.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent Tom Symonds.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Grenfell Tower and that horrifying loss of life demonstrated for all to
0:02:35 > 0:02:39see, that something had gone badly wrong with fire safety. But the
0:02:39 > 0:02:42scale of that only became clear in the weeks that followed. Confidence
0:02:42 > 0:02:47in the safety of public housing was left in pieces, bits of buildings
0:02:47 > 0:02:52had to be removed because no-one was sure of the risk. Today's report is
0:02:52 > 0:02:56clear - the rules and the way they work in practice are not fit for
0:02:56 > 0:03:04purpose. Too complex, too easy to get around.My aim for the future is
0:03:04 > 0:03:09to create a much simpler and more straightforward system that will be
0:03:09 > 0:03:15easier for people to follow. But that needs to be reinforced with a
0:03:15 > 0:03:19number of changes in behaviour which will include a major culture change
0:03:19 > 0:03:24across all of the players in this. Here is the main problem - when
0:03:24 > 0:03:29reclading a tower like Grenfell, designers and builders only had one
0:03:29 > 0:03:33strict rule - don't do anything which might allow a fire to spread.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37But there is a mass of documents setting out how that might be
0:03:37 > 0:03:42achieved and plenty of different ways to maintain safety.Our view is
0:03:42 > 0:03:48this has opened up all sorts of ambiguities, loopholes and
0:03:48 > 0:03:55unintended consequences. A concrete example is, there is a complex view
0:03:55 > 0:04:00on combustibility. We should be using noncombustible materials.He
0:04:00 > 0:04:04and others in the industry believe today's report at this early
0:04:04 > 0:04:08opportunity should have recommended that only materials which don't burn
0:04:08 > 0:04:13be used on tower blocks.It's by far the biggest problem, if the guidance
0:04:13 > 0:04:19back in 1999 had changed, we wouldn't even be talking about fire
0:04:19 > 0:04:22risk assessments and building control assessments and
0:04:22 > 0:04:25responsibility because we would probably never have had a disaster
0:04:25 > 0:04:30like this.Dame Judith says in the six months following the fire, she's
0:04:30 > 0:04:36been shocked by some of the practices she's learned about in the
0:04:36 > 0:04:41industry. She'll make recommendations next spring.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Tom Symonds joins me.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48What might we expect to come next year?We'll see a much clearer set
0:04:48 > 0:04:52of rules. As I said in the report, there is really only one rule which
0:04:52 > 0:04:55the regulations set out in these circumstances which simply says you
0:04:55 > 0:04:58shouldn't allow anything that might result in a fire which is clearly
0:04:58 > 0:05:03not very helpful. Dame Judith says in her report that the rules are so
0:05:03 > 0:05:06complicated or the guidance is, that she had to spend a lot of time
0:05:06 > 0:05:11mapping out how they work in practice, so you can imagine how the
0:05:11 > 0:05:14industry might regard that. I think what she's going to want is a change
0:05:14 > 0:05:18in fire safety and building design and refurbishment. This is along the
0:05:18 > 0:05:21lines of the health and safety changes we have seen in the last 20
0:05:21 > 0:05:25years or so, for example the huge amount of health and safety rules
0:05:25 > 0:05:28about working in construction sites, that sort of thing. I think she's
0:05:28 > 0:05:32going to be asking for something of that scale. The industry says that
0:05:32 > 0:05:35is badly needed because even the Government and the industry have had
0:05:35 > 0:05:41a bit of a disagreement about what the rules are, this issue about
0:05:41 > 0:05:43whether limited combustibility cladding can be used. The Government
0:05:43 > 0:05:46says the rules say it can't. The industry says, well for years you
0:05:46 > 0:05:50have been saying if we do certain things it can, so all of that has to
0:05:50 > 0:05:53be sorted out, and as we heard there, the report is due in the
0:05:53 > 0:05:56spring.Thank you.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00A report has found institutional racism in the case of an Iranian
0:06:00 > 0:06:04refugee who was murdered by a neighbour in Bristol in 2013.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The report by the Safer Bristol Partnership says
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Avon and Somerset Police and Bristol City Council repeatedly
0:06:10 > 0:06:14sided with the abusers of Bijan Ebrahimi, who was beaten
0:06:14 > 0:06:18to death and his body set on fire, after he was wrongly accused
0:06:18 > 0:06:20of being a paedophile.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23One man is serving a life sentence for Mr Ebrahimi's murder,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27and two police officers were jailed for misconduct.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Jon Kay has been talking to Bijan Ebrahimi's family,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and sent us this report.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Bijan Ebrahimi came to Britain for safety.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40But four years ago, the refugee from Iran was brutally beaten
0:06:40 > 0:06:44to death and his body set on fire.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Don't you dare take pictures of me, all right?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49This is the neighbour who killed him, Lee James,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52now serving life for murder.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Today's report says that although the fatal attack could not
0:06:57 > 0:07:00have been predicted, there were warning signs
0:07:00 > 0:07:02that the police and council should have spotted.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Again and again, Bijan went to the authorities claiming he had
0:07:06 > 0:07:08been abused and attacked, sometimes he said,
0:07:08 > 0:07:09because of his race.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12He made reports about different people in different places
0:07:12 > 0:07:14over several years.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18But today's report said he was treated as a nuisance,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21with police and council staff often believing the people
0:07:21 > 0:07:23he was complaining about rather than helping him.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Absolutely shocking and disgusting.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Now, his sisters have been told that there was a collective failure
0:07:28 > 0:07:31by Avon and Somerset police and Bristol City Council
0:07:31 > 0:07:35which amounted to institutional racism and discrimination.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38We feel angry, disappointed, shocking.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41These are not the words we should hear in this day and age.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45You don't want to see and you don't want to hear any more about this,
0:07:45 > 0:07:52this has been dealt with so many times before, and saying this
0:07:52 > 0:07:53is happening again is shocking.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Very sad and we are very angry as my sister says,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and it is very shocking and upsetting as a family.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Today's report says no individual members of staff
0:08:03 > 0:08:06here at Bristol City Council or Avon and Somerset police were
0:08:06 > 0:08:08intentionally racist themselves.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12But it says both organisations had an ingrained view of Bijan Ebrahimi
0:08:12 > 0:08:15which affected the way they treated him.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19And that he did not get the support or the level of service
0:08:19 > 0:08:21that he should have received.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25The phrase institutional racism was used in the notorious case
0:08:25 > 0:08:27of Stephen Lawrence nearly 20 years ago.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30And now it appears again in an official report.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It is a word that is rarely used, it is a finding
0:08:33 > 0:08:36that is rarely found.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Because one would hope that institutional racism
0:08:39 > 0:08:43is not a common problem, that the family's concern
0:08:43 > 0:08:46in fact is it is much more common than it is found.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Last year, two members of police staff were jailed for misconduct.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51The force apologised to the Ebrahimi family then,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55and today Avon and Somerset police reiterated that apology,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58along with the council, they have accepted the latest
0:08:58 > 0:08:59report in full.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04John Kay, BBC news, Bristol.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Our home editor Mark Easton is here.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13It is pretty desperate, Mark, that we are using that phrase again in
0:09:13 > 0:09:202017?It's certainly a very troubling phrase. Institutional
0:09:20 > 0:09:24racism, the fact they believe it played a part in Mr Ebrahimi's death
0:09:24 > 0:09:29makes it more so. It's a complicated concept. In this case, the inquiry
0:09:29 > 0:09:33said there was no evidence that any police officer or council official
0:09:33 > 0:09:38intentionally behaved in a racist manner, neither that their policies
0:09:38 > 0:09:42and procedures in either organisation were in any Weiwei
0:09:42 > 0:09:47racist but the definition of institutional racism was laid out in
0:09:47 > 0:09:51the McPherson Report after the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, includes
0:09:51 > 0:09:57attitudes in behaviour which amount to behaviour through
0:09:57 > 0:10:00thoughtlessness, unwitting and ignorance. It's shocking we are
0:10:00 > 0:10:03still using that phrase of almost 25 years since Stephen Lawrence's
0:10:03 > 0:10:09murder. It's a reminder also of how hard it is to change the deep-seated
0:10:09 > 0:10:13hidden attitudes and prejudices from affecting the way professionals deal
0:10:13 > 0:10:17with situations. There are recommendations in the report to
0:10:17 > 0:10:19change oversight checks in the system to try to prevent that
0:10:19 > 0:10:24happening and clearly for Mr Ebrahimi's family, the only solace
0:10:24 > 0:10:28there can be after this tragedy is that somehow those kind of mistakes
0:10:28 > 0:10:31won't happen again.Thank you.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Police in Lebanon have arrested a man in connection with the murder
0:10:34 > 0:10:36of a British embassy worker in Beirut.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40The body of Rebecca Dykes, who was 30, was found by the side
0:10:40 > 0:10:43of a motorway on Saturday the day she was due to fly back
0:10:43 > 0:10:44to Britain for Christmas.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49From Beirut, Martin Patience reports.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54She's been described as a bright star, someone who cared deeply for
0:10:54 > 0:10:59others, while working on the humanitarian front line. Rebecca
0:10:59 > 0:11:05Dykes was helping Lebanon cope with the influx of Syrian refugees. On
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Friday night, Rebecca came to this bar behind me, she was attending
0:11:08 > 0:11:12leaving drinks for a colleague. She was relatively new in the city. This
0:11:12 > 0:11:18was an opportunity to meet new people. Shortly after Midnight, she
0:11:18 > 0:11:23left the bar and apparently got into a taxi. It was that decision that
0:11:23 > 0:11:29cost her her life. Her body was found dumped close to a motorway.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Police say she was strangled. A taxi driver has now been arrested in
0:11:34 > 0:11:41connection with her murder. Josy planned to be at the bar that night
0:11:41 > 0:11:45but couldn't go because of work. It's crazy because all of my friends
0:11:45 > 0:11:49were there. The idea that it could have been anyone that left the bar
0:11:49 > 0:11:53that that night, I mean we all drink in this area and go out in this
0:11:53 > 0:12:01neighbourhood which is usually very, very safe. So we are all just deeply
0:12:01 > 0:12:03saddened that one of our friends left by herself and didn't come
0:12:03 > 0:12:12back.On Twitter, the British Ambassador Hugo Shorter wrote:

0:14:56 > 0:15:06Emma Thomas, BBC News.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Theresa May has been holding discussions with senior
0:15:10 > 0:15:12members of the Cabinet, for the first time,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14about what the UK's long-term relationship
0:15:14 > 0:15:15with the European Union should be.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18It follows the decision last week by the EU that Brexit negotiations
0:15:18 > 0:15:20can now move to the second phase.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Our Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith is in Westminster.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Remarkable I suppose that they are finally discussing this for a first
0:15:28 > 0:15:32time after the referendum. What might come up?In truth not much
0:15:32 > 0:15:37beyond this was their first meeting was is remarkable in the sense I
0:15:37 > 0:15:40suspect most viewers feel a bit as if they have been hit about the head
0:15:40 > 0:15:45with a wet kipper when it comes to Brexit statements, debates and news.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49But the reason this was the first meeting is because so much attention
0:15:49 > 0:15:54has been focussed on the divorce deal and because at the moment there
0:15:54 > 0:15:58is no agreement about what sort of end deal we want with the EU. There
0:15:58 > 0:16:03are those in the Cabinet around the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, who want
0:16:03 > 0:16:09to ensure we remain close to the single market so there is still
0:16:09 > 0:16:14access for British and that might mean possibly accepting some EU
0:16:14 > 0:16:18rules, it might mean belonging still to some EU organisations, maybe
0:16:18 > 0:16:21involving payments for key parts of the British economy like the City.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Then there are those around figures like the Foreign Secretary, Boris
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Johnson, who think we have got to move away from EU rules. So we are
0:16:29 > 0:16:34free to strike our own trade deals which they believe is the real
0:16:34 > 0:16:38benefit from Brexit. Between those two, Mrs May is trying to negotiate
0:16:38 > 0:16:42a sort of middle road which would give us access without being bound
0:16:42 > 0:16:47by rules. But overnight, the EU's chief negotiator has said no, you
0:16:47 > 0:16:51can't have that sort of arrangement. So if a divorce deal was hard, the
0:16:51 > 0:16:57trade deal looks like it could be even harder.Thank you.

0:17:49 > 0:17:58against the Rohingya Muslim minority.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein has told the BBC that the level of planning
0:18:02 > 0:18:04involved suggested the repression was sanctioned at the highest level.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08As our South Asia correspondent Justin Rowlatt reports.
0:18:13 > 0:18:22This boy is 11, he draws pictures of the horrors he has witnessed.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25TRANSLATION:Older women were stamped on.
0:18:25 > 0:18:34And then the military grabbed them by the hair and slaughtered them.
0:18:34 > 0:18:44Because I saw that, I am drawing this.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50He is one of 650,000 Rohingya refugees who fled Myanmar
0:18:50 > 0:18:53after a military assault that began in the late August.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58They are coming to kill us, says the man, they are coming to kill us.
0:18:58 > 0:19:06The widespread and systematic nature of the violence has persuaded
0:19:06 > 0:19:09the UN's Human Rights Chief that the crimes committed in Myanmar
0:19:09 > 0:19:10could amount to genocide.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16Acts intended to destroy a group of people.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22Can anyone rule out that elements of genocide may be present?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25He wants a criminal investigation to identify the perpetrators and,
0:19:25 > 0:19:31in an exclusive interview with the BBC, he doesn't rule out
0:19:31 > 0:19:34the possibility that Aung Sang Suu Kyi or military leaders
0:19:34 > 0:19:37could end up in the dock.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Given the scale of the military operation, and clearly these
0:19:40 > 0:19:50would have to be decisions taken at a high enough level,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55and then the crime of omission, that if it came to your knowledge
0:19:55 > 0:19:58that this was being committed and you did nothing to stop it,
0:19:58 > 0:19:59then you could be culpable for that.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01He says only a court can judge that.
0:20:01 > 0:20:08But he is determined that justice should be done.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10In the meantime, though, this boy and hundreds of thousands
0:20:10 > 0:20:13like him remain in limbo.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18We asked Aung Sang Suu Kyi for a response but she hasn't replied.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25You can see Justin Rowlatt's full report for Panorama,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Myanmar: The Hidden Truth.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32It's on BBC One this evening at 7.30, except for
0:20:32 > 0:20:35viewers in Scotland.
0:20:35 > 0:20:43It will also be available on the BBC iPlayer.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Votes are being counted in the election of a new leader
0:20:45 > 0:20:49of South Africa's governing party, the ANC.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Activists say the bitterly-fought contest remains too close to call,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56with delegates casting a secret ballot to choose either the Deputy
0:20:56 > 0:21:01President Cyril Ramaphosa, or Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma a former
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Cabinet minister and the ex-wife of President Jacob Zuma.
0:21:03 > 0:21:10Our South Africa correspondent Milton Nkosi is in Johannesburg.
0:21:10 > 0:21:19Is there a result yet? Not yet. We are all waiting with
0:21:19 > 0:21:23bated breath. The delegates, you can see around me, have been coming out
0:21:23 > 0:21:30of the dining hall. Everyone is in speculating mode, speculating on
0:21:30 > 0:21:35social media. Others say they cannot take the anxiety, they are waiting
0:21:35 > 0:21:40for this result because the leader of the ANC will be leading the
0:21:40 > 0:21:45largest political party in South Africa with a membership of 1
0:21:45 > 0:21:50million. This is the oldest liberation movement on the African
0:21:50 > 0:21:54continent. Incredibly important not just for South Africa but for the
0:21:54 > 0:21:58continent as well. Many thanks.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01A former chief nursing officer, the Right Reverend Sarah Mullally,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03has become the most senior woman in the Church of England,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05after being nominated as Bishop of London.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Bishop Sarah was made a Dame in 2005 for services to nursing,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12and will replace Lord Chartres, who retired earlier this year.
0:22:12 > 0:22:19Our religious affairs correspondent Martin Bashir reports.
0:22:19 > 0:22:26I am very glad to officially announce our 133rd Bishop of London
0:22:26 > 0:22:35and the Right Reverend Sarah Mullaly, tightly -- Please welcome
0:22:35 > 0:22:38her. 25 years after the General Synod
0:22:38 > 0:22:42voted to ordain women as priests, the appointment of the Right
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Reverend Sarah Miller late as the 133rd Bishop of London Marks and
0:22:47 > 0:22:51historic move towards gender equality and means a woman now holds
0:22:51 > 0:22:56one of the three most senior positions in the Church of England.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Yes, it was a surprise but I am delighted. I have lived and worked
0:23:00 > 0:23:07in London for 32 years so there is a sense of returning. I am both a
0:23:07 > 0:23:12nurse, the chief nursing officer, and a parish priest. There is a
0:23:12 > 0:23:15sense I bring all of those to this role.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19The diocese of London is one of the few areas where Anglican
0:23:19 > 0:23:25congregations are growing. It boasts the formidable presence of
0:23:25 > 0:23:27conservatives from the Anglo-Catholic and evangelical
0:23:27 > 0:23:31traditions who disapprove of women priests. While the Archbishop of
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Canterbury described the appointment is wonderful, other church leaders
0:23:35 > 0:23:39were relieved the new Bishop of London does not support any change
0:23:39 > 0:23:44to the practice of marriage in church being between a man and
0:23:44 > 0:23:47woman. I think it would be very regrettable
0:23:47 > 0:23:52if the church moved into that position because it would undermine
0:23:52 > 0:23:56its traditional teaching. I was delighted Bishop Sarah said she
0:23:56 > 0:24:01stood by the traditional teachings. Bishops of London art additionally
0:24:01 > 0:24:07made dean of the chapels royal, churches like St George's Chapel and
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Westminster Abbey which are overseen by the monarch and not a bishop.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16This raises the prospect of Bishop Sarah officiating at the wedding of
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Prince Harry to Meghan Markle due to take place at Wednesday in many --
0:24:21 > 0:24:23at Windsor in May.
0:24:23 > 0:24:30Martin Bashir, BBC News.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Police in Scotland saying to people have died in a fire at a hotel in
0:24:34 > 0:24:39the moment, at the Cameron house Hotel. Three other people are being
0:24:39 > 0:24:41treated in hospital. Police are trying to find out how the fire
0:24:41 > 0:24:44began.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Tens of thousands of people may be putting themselves at increased risk
0:24:47 > 0:24:49of dying from heart attack or stroke, because they're
0:24:49 > 0:24:50mis-using anabolic steroids.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52The British Cardiovascular Society has issued a stark warning,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54amid concern that steroids are being used by more
0:24:54 > 0:24:57people than ever before, particularly by young men who feel
0:24:57 > 0:24:59under pressure to have the perfect body.
0:24:59 > 0:25:08Dan Whitworth reports.
0:25:09 > 0:25:17This is 29-year-old Gareth doing what he does best, take a look.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19It's what nearly five years of hard work, dedication
0:25:19 > 0:25:20and black market anabolic
0:25:20 > 0:25:27steroids looks like.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I feel more awake, better in myself, more manly, I have a high sex drive.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32There are serious potential risks from a medical
0:25:32 > 0:25:35perspective using steroids.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Increased risk of heart attack, strokes, mood swings, infertility.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Do those not worry you?
0:25:41 > 0:25:48Everything we do in life carries a risk of heart attack, cancer.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Whatever it is, I'm going to get is those risks anyway.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I choose not to do certain things.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I don't go out drinking or smoking.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I take steroids.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59When it comes to the law, anabolic steroids are legal to use
0:25:59 > 0:26:02and possess across the UK.
0:26:02 > 0:26:08What is illegal is supplying them unless you are a doctor.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12If you are caught you could face prison sentence of up to 14 years.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Anabolic steroids cause an imbalance of hormones which can damage
0:26:15 > 0:26:18many different organs, in particular the heart.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21That doesn't stop this man who spoke on condition
0:26:21 > 0:26:27of anonymity from dealing them.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30A broad spectrum of people use steroids, from young guys 18,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33training, looking to bulk up for a summer holiday.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36A summer holiday.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38They want to attract the girls.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42These guys, you have to be more informative when you talk to them,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44make them aware of the risks.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46According to public health experts, hundreds of thousands of people
0:26:46 > 0:26:50are now using anabolic steroids.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Government figures showed there were 25 convictions in England
0:26:53 > 0:26:55and Wales relating to illegally supplying them in
0:26:55 > 0:26:57the last two years.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03Just seven of those ended with prison.
0:27:03 > 0:27:10What about the health of the people you are supplying?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12They can face infertility, mood swings, getting strokes
0:27:12 > 0:27:13decades earlier than the average.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14It is illegal for a reason.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Yes.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19I don't agree with it being illegal.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Doctors prescribe testosterone.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22If there is a reason...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You are not a doctor.
0:27:25 > 0:27:32Doctors prescribe it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Steroids, if it was killing people they would not be prescribing it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38The media sensationalises it.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40People abuse steroids and do damage their health.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43That is their choice.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46The group which advises Government on drug misuse is in the middle
0:27:46 > 0:27:49of a review into anabolic steroids and due to report its
0:27:49 > 0:27:56findings next year.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01And if you want to see more on that story, you can watch
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Steroid Nation, a documentary which is on the BBC Radio 1
0:28:03 > 0:28:06channel of the iPlayer now.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09It was in hope rather than expectation that the beleaguered
0:28:09 > 0:28:12England cricket team embarked on this winter's tour to Australia,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14but few would have predicted they would surrender the Ashes
0:28:14 > 0:28:15quite so easily.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17This morning, England were bowled out for 218,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20giving the hosts an innings victory and an unassailable 3-0
0:28:20 > 0:28:21lead in the series.
0:28:21 > 0:28:31Andy Swiss reports from Perth.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34It had been coming for a while but for Australia still just
0:28:34 > 0:28:37as sweet, for England just as painful.
0:28:37 > 0:28:44The side began with an unlikely lifeline.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Overnight rain had leaked onto the pitch, an army of leaf
0:28:47 > 0:28:49blowers were deployed, causing a three hour delay.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50Australia made up for lost time.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Jonny Bairstow clean bowled by one that barely bounced.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Dawid Malan, one of the few successes, gave
0:28:57 > 0:29:01hope with a gritty 50.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05His resistance ended and England's last hopes left.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Chris Woakes was caught behind, Australia's victory party began.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14England once again whacked at the WACA,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16England once again whacked at the WACA, again faced
0:29:16 > 0:29:17with Ashes failure.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22It is bitterly disappointing.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25One frustrating thing is we haven't been blown away, we have not been
0:29:25 > 0:29:26completely outplayed.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28We have put up some really good performances,
0:29:28 > 0:29:35just not long enough, simple as that.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Again, the scoreboard in Perth makes sorry reading
0:29:37 > 0:29:38for English cricket.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41To lose the Ashes after three matches will be a crushing
0:29:41 > 0:29:44disappointment but this is a team with problems on and off the pitch.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Their star player Ben Stokes didn't even travel after an incident
0:29:47 > 0:29:49outside a nightclub.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Other big names like Stuart Broad and Alistair Cooke have struggled.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54England were the underdogs here.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56As it turned out, with good reason.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01I have not been surprised with what I have seen.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05If you look at the England tool box they have arrived with,
0:30:05 > 0:30:10they were missing a spanner, screwdriver, no one with real pace.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Not having their best player in Ben Stokes
0:30:12 > 0:30:14would always be a big issue.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17The challenge now for England is a grim one, to avoid
0:30:17 > 0:30:21the dreaded whitewash, after being outbatted,
0:30:21 > 0:30:24outbowled and outclassed, and it could be a long few weeks.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Andy Swiss, BBC News, Perth.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Time for a look at the weather.
0:30:33 > 0:30:40Can you lift our spirits? It is beautiful at the moment. We have
0:30:40 > 0:30:45some very thick fog starting to form.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50Here are some lovely weather watcher pictures, this one from the Isle of
0:30:50 > 0:30:57Wight. Some folk already. From around Merseyside to the West
0:30:57 > 0:31:02Midlands into central evidence, we already have some thick fog forming
0:31:02 > 0:31:08which will become more widespread as we go through the day. For many of
0:31:08 > 0:31:11us, a beautiful day, cloud and drizzle in the North West of
0:31:11 > 0:31:19Scotland. Most likely to develop across
0:31:19 > 0:31:24central England, southern England, Eastern counties, the fog could be
0:31:24 > 0:31:29dense enough to cause delays on the road and possibly even some of the
0:31:29 > 0:31:33airports in the South. They're that in mind if you are travelling
0:31:33 > 0:31:40tomorrow. Look at the extent this morning. Some freezing fog around as
0:31:40 > 0:31:47temperatures dipped to zero. A lot milder in the North West due to
0:31:47 > 0:31:55south-westerly winds. Southern parts of the UK, the
0:31:55 > 0:32:01airports, in some places the fog will last through the afternoon, in
0:32:01 > 0:32:05many areas it will lift and disperse.
0:32:05 > 0:32:13Where it lingers, it could be around 0 degrees. Most of us won't get
0:32:13 > 0:32:25that. A lot of low, grey cloud. The odd spot, 14 degrees in Aberdeen.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29This is an unusual meteorological phenomenon.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33We had a weather front living in tomorrow night, fog forming in some
0:32:33 > 0:32:42parts of the country. Wednesday is gloomy, less foggy, the wind will
0:32:42 > 0:32:46pick up. Temperatures into double figures.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49The best of the sunshine in Scotland.
0:32:49 > 0:32:57At the end of the week, this is the jet stream to the north of us.
0:32:57 > 0:33:03Slightly milder weather for us, high pressure this time of year usually
0:33:03 > 0:33:07means low, grey skies, drizzly weather, the risk of more fog. Take
0:33:07 > 0:33:09it steady if you are travelling first thing tomorrow.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15A reminder of our main story this lunchtime.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19A review of building regulations following the Grenfell Tower fire
0:33:19 > 0:33:20shows the current
