0:00:05 > 0:00:08A review of building regulations, following the Grenfell Tower fire,

0:00:08 > 0:00:12says the current system isn't fit for purpose.

0:00:12 > 0:00:17The report's author says she was "shocked" by some

0:00:17 > 0:00:19of the practices she saw and says there needs to be

0:00:19 > 0:00:23a change in culture - to put safety first.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27What that report says is that the current system

0:00:27 > 0:00:31and that there is a need for a major overhaul of the system.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35Also this lunchtime.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37The Iranian refugee murdered by his neighbour -

0:00:37 > 0:00:40a review finds the police and council showed

0:00:40 > 0:00:48institutional racism in the years before his death.

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.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01A man has been arrested in connection with the murder

0:01:01 > 0:01:03of Rebecca Dykes, the British embassy worker who disappeared

0:01:03 > 0:01:05after a night out in Beirut.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07A former chief nursing officer, the Right Reverend Sarah Mullally,

0:01:07 > 0:01:11becomes the most senior woman in the Church of England -

0:01:11 > 0:01:17appointed Bishop of London.

0:01:17 > 0:01:22And a dark day down under for England's cricketers -

0:01:22 > 0:01:27as Australia take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the Ashes.

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:

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Rebecca was said to be thrilled about working in Lebanon and

0:12:25 > 0:12:28colleagues said she made a real impact before her life was cut

0:12:28 > 0:12:32short.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Police in Birmingham are continuing to appeal for witnesses,

0:12:37 > 0:12:40after a crash which left six people dead in the city

0:12:40 > 0:12:44centre at the weekend.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Crash investigators are trying to piece together what caused

0:12:46 > 0:12:48the pile-up, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Our correspondent Emma Thomas reports.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54It was 1:00am on the penultimate weekend before Christmas,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57when emergency services were called to an horrific scene.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Six vehicles and 13 people caught in a collision,

0:13:01 > 0:13:05the impact of which left a black taxi cab on its side and produced

0:13:05 > 0:13:09a sound so powerful it awoke people living nearby.

0:13:09 > 0:13:1240 firefighters and specially trained paramedics tried

0:13:12 > 0:13:17to save the victims, but five people were confirmed dead

0:13:17 > 0:13:20at the scene, a sixth died later in hospital,

0:13:20 > 0:13:22and a seventh remains in critical condition.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25The first victim to be named is Imtiaz Mohammed, the taxi driver.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28A 33-year-old father of six, his youngest daughter

0:13:28 > 0:13:32marks her fourth birthday today.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Both his passengers, a man and woman, also died.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38He told his wife, it was to be his last fare of the shift

0:13:38 > 0:13:41and that he would be home soon.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45The three other men who were killed, all travelling in the same car.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49He was a great person, a remarkable boy, very friendly,

0:13:49 > 0:13:54very sweet, with everyone.

0:13:54 > 0:14:01Everyone, with friends, in the street, no one

0:14:01 > 0:14:07complained from him.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Flowers adorn this busy city underpass today.

0:14:09 > 0:14:14As the investigation continues, West Midlands Police asked people

0:14:14 > 0:14:18who may have gathered footage of the aftermath of the crash not

0:14:18 > 0:14:22to share the distressing images on social media,

0:14:22 > 0:14:26but send them to police to help officers establish the facts of this

0:14:26 > 0:14:31crash which claimed the lives of six people.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33The road was closed for several hours yesterday to allow

0:14:33 > 0:14:36investigation work.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40This busy dual carriageway, subject to a 40 mph speed limit,

0:14:40 > 0:14:45and Birmingham City Council, said it had been gritted

0:14:45 > 0:14:47in the hours before the crash due to freezing temperatures.

0:14:47 > 0:14:52As police piece together the cause of the collision,

0:14:52 > 0:14:55families grieve the loss of loved ones killed the week

0:14:55 > 0:14:56before Christmas.

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.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Our top story this lunchtime.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04A review of building regulations, following the Grenfell Tower fire,

0:17:04 > 0:17:09says the current system isn't fit for purpose and a culture change

0:17:09 > 0:17:12is needed to ensure safety is prioritised over cost.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14And coming up.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16How pressure to achieve the perfect body is causing thousands

0:17:16 > 0:17:19to put their long-term health at risk.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23And still to come.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24Coming up in sport.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Australia crush England to regain the Ashes,

0:17:27 > 0:17:28with an innings and 41 run win, in the third Test in Perth.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights says it is possible

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior figures in Myanmar could face

0:17:47 > 0:17:49charges of genocide, following the violence

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.

0:20:18 > 0:20:23Justin Rowlatt, BBC News.

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
