A review of building regulations,

following the Grenfell Tower fire,

0:00:050:00:08

says the current system isn't

fit for purpose.

0:00:080:00:12

The report's author says

she was "shocked" by some

0:00:120:00:17

of the practices she saw

and says there needs to be

0:00:170:00:19

a change in culture -

to put safety first.

0:00:190:00:23

What that report says

is that the current system

0:00:230:00:27

and that there is a need for a major

overhaul of the system.

0:00:270:00:31

Also this lunchtime.

0:00:310:00:35

The Iranian refugee

murdered by his neighbour -

0:00:350:00:37

a review finds the police

and council showed

0:00:370:00:40

institutional racism

in the years before his death.

0:00:400:00:48

Absolutely shocking and devastating.

Especially as a family if these

0:00:480:00:54

things happen, it's just

unacceptable.

0:00:540:00:57

A man has been arrested

in connection with the murder

0:00:580:01:01

of Rebecca Dykes, the British

embassy worker who disappeared

0:01:010:01:03

after a night out in Beirut.

0:01:030:01:05

A former chief nursing officer,

the Right Reverend Sarah Mullally,

0:01:050:01:07

becomes the most senior woman

in the Church of England -

0:01:070:01:11

appointed Bishop of London.

0:01:110:01:17

And a dark day down under

for England's cricketers -

0:01:170:01:22

as Australia take an unassailable

3-0 lead in the Ashes.

0:01:220:01:27

Good afternoon and welcome

to the BBC News at One.

0:01:550:02:00

A review of fire and

building regulations,

0:02:000:02:04

following the Grenfell Tower fire,

says the current system

0:02:040:02:07

isn't fit for purpose,

and a culture change is required

0:02:070:02:11

to ensure that safety

is prioritised over cost.

0:02:110:02:14

Dame Judith Hackitt, in her interim

review for the government,

0:02:140:02:17

makes a series of recommendations

to simplify the rules and change

0:02:170:02:20

the way they are overseen.

0:02:200:02:23

She says she's been shocked by some

of the practices she's heard about.

0:02:230:02:26

Here's our Home Affairs

Correspondent Tom Symonds.

0:02:260:02:32

Grenfell Tower and that horrifying

loss of life demonstrated for all to

0:02:320:02:35

see, that something had gone badly

wrong with fire safety. But the

0:02:350:02:39

scale of that only became clear in

the weeks that followed. Confidence

0:02:390:02:42

in the safety of public housing was

left in pieces, bits of buildings

0:02:420:02:47

had to be removed because no-one was

sure of the risk. Today's report is

0:02:470:02:52

clear - the rules and the way they

work in practice are not fit for

0:02:520:02:56

purpose. Too complex, too easy to

get around.

My aim for the future is

0:02:560:03:04

to create a much simpler and more

straightforward system that will be

0:03:040:03:09

easier for people to follow. But

that needs to be reinforced with a

0:03:090:03:15

number of changes in behaviour which

will include a major culture change

0:03:150:03:19

across all of the players in this.

Here is the main problem - when

0:03:190:03:24

reclading a tower like Grenfell,

designers and builders only had one

0:03:240:03:29

strict rule - don't do anything

which might allow a fire to spread.

0:03:290:03:33

But there is a mass of documents

setting out how that might be

0:03:330:03:37

achieved and plenty of different

ways to maintain safety.

Our view is

0:03:370:03:42

this has opened up all sorts of

ambiguities, loopholes and

0:03:420:03:48

unintended consequences. A concrete

example is, there is a complex view

0:03:480:03:55

on combustibility. We should be

using noncombustible materials.

He

0:03:550:04:00

and others in the industry believe

today's report at this early

0:04:000:04:04

opportunity should have recommended

that only materials which don't burn

0:04:040:04:08

be used on tower blocks.

It's by far

the biggest problem, if the guidance

0:04:080:04:13

back in 1999 had changed, we

wouldn't even be talking about fire

0:04:130:04:19

risk assessments and building

control assessments and

0:04:190:04:22

responsibility because we would

probably never have had a disaster

0:04:220:04:25

like this.

Dame Judith says in the

six months following the fire, she's

0:04:250:04:30

been shocked by some of the

practices she's learned about in the

0:04:300:04:36

industry. She'll make

recommendations next spring.

0:04:360:04:41

Tom Symonds joins me.

0:04:410:04:44

What might we expect to come next

year?

We'll see a much clearer set

0:04:440:04:48

of rules. As I said in the report,

there is really only one rule which

0:04:480:04:52

the regulations set out in these

circumstances which simply says you

0:04:520:04:55

shouldn't allow anything that might

result in a fire which is clearly

0:04:550:04:58

not very helpful. Dame Judith says

in her report that the rules are so

0:04:580:05:03

complicated or the guidance is, that

she had to spend a lot of time

0:05:030:05:06

mapping out how they work in

practice, so you can imagine how the

0:05:060:05:11

industry might regard that. I think

what she's going to want is a change

0:05:110:05:14

in fire safety and building design

and refurbishment. This is along the

0:05:140:05:18

lines of the health and safety

changes we have seen in the last 20

0:05:180:05:21

years or so, for example the huge

amount of health and safety rules

0:05:210:05:25

about working in construction sites,

that sort of thing. I think she's

0:05:250:05:28

going to be asking for something of

that scale. The industry says that

0:05:280:05:32

is badly needed because even the

Government and the industry have had

0:05:320:05:35

a bit of a disagreement about what

the rules are, this issue about

0:05:350:05:41

whether limited combustibility

cladding can be used. The Government

0:05:410:05:43

says the rules say it can't. The

industry says, well for years you

0:05:430:05:46

have been saying if we do certain

things it can, so all of that has to

0:05:460:05:50

be sorted out, and as we heard

there, the report is due in the

0:05:500:05:53

spring.

Thank you.

0:05:530:05:56

A report has found institutional

racism in the case of an Iranian

0:05:560:06:00

refugee who was murdered

by a neighbour in Bristol in 2013.

0:06:000:06:04

The report by the Safer

Bristol Partnership says

0:06:040:06:07

Avon and Somerset Police

and Bristol City Council repeatedly

0:06:070:06:10

sided with the abusers

of Bijan Ebrahimi, who was beaten

0:06:100:06:14

to death and his body set on fire,

after he was wrongly accused

0:06:140:06:18

of being a paedophile.

0:06:180:06:20

One man is serving a life sentence

for Mr Ebrahimi's murder,

0:06:200:06:23

and two police officers

were jailed for misconduct.

0:06:230:06:27

Jon Kay has been talking

to Bijan Ebrahimi's family,

0:06:270:06:30

and sent us this report.

0:06:300:06:33

Bijan Ebrahimi came

to Britain for safety.

0:06:340:06:36

But four years ago, the refugee

from Iran was brutally beaten

0:06:360:06:40

to death and his body set on fire.

0:06:400:06:44

Don't you dare take

pictures of me, all right?

0:06:440:06:46

This is the neighbour

who killed him, Lee James,

0:06:460:06:49

now serving life for murder.

0:06:490:06:52

Today's report says that

although the fatal attack could not

0:06:520:06:57

have been predicted,

there were warning signs

0:06:570:07:00

that the police and council

should have spotted.

0:07:000:07:02

Again and again, Bijan went

to the authorities claiming he had

0:07:020:07:06

been abused and attacked,

sometimes he said,

0:07:060:07:08

because of his race.

0:07:080:07:09

He made reports about different

people in different places

0:07:090:07:12

over several years.

0:07:120:07:14

But today's report said

he was treated as a nuisance,

0:07:140:07:18

with police and council staff often

believing the people

0:07:180:07:21

he was complaining about

rather than helping him.

0:07:210:07:23

Absolutely shocking and disgusting.

0:07:230:07:25

Now, his sisters have been told

that there was a collective failure

0:07:250:07:28

by Avon and Somerset police

and Bristol City Council

0:07:280:07:31

which amounted to institutional

racism and discrimination.

0:07:310:07:35

We feel angry,

disappointed, shocking.

0:07:350:07:38

These are not the words we should

hear in this day and age.

0:07:380:07:41

You don't want to see and you don't

want to hear any more about this,

0:07:410:07:45

this has been dealt with so many

times before, and saying this

0:07:450:07:52

is happening again is shocking.

0:07:520:07:53

Very sad and we are very

angry as my sister says,

0:07:530:07:57

and it is very shocking

and upsetting as a family.

0:07:570:07:59

Today's report says no

individual members of staff

0:07:590:08:03

here at Bristol City Council or Avon

and Somerset police were

0:08:030:08:06

intentionally racist themselves.

0:08:060:08:08

But it says both organisations had

an ingrained view of Bijan Ebrahimi

0:08:080:08:12

which affected the way

they treated him.

0:08:120:08:15

And that he did not get the support

or the level of service

0:08:150:08:19

that he should have received.

0:08:190:08:21

The phrase institutional racism

was used in the notorious case

0:08:210:08:25

of Stephen Lawrence nearly

20 years ago.

0:08:250:08:27

And now it appears again

in an official report.

0:08:270:08:30

It is a word that is rarely

used, it is a finding

0:08:300:08:33

that is rarely found.

0:08:330:08:36

Because one would hope that

institutional racism

0:08:360:08:39

is not a common problem,

that the family's concern

0:08:390:08:43

in fact is it is much more

common than it is found.

0:08:430:08:46

Last year, two members of police

staff were jailed for misconduct.

0:08:460:08:48

The force apologised

to the Ebrahimi family then,

0:08:480:08:51

and today Avon and Somerset police

reiterated that apology,

0:08:510:08:55

along with the council,

they have accepted the latest

0:08:550:08:58

report in full.

0:08:580:08:59

John Kay, BBC news, Bristol.

0:08:590:09:04

Our home editor Mark Easton is here.

0:09:040:09:09

It is pretty desperate, Mark, that

we are using that phrase again in

0:09:090:09:13

2017?

It's certainly a very

troubling phrase. Institutional

0:09:130:09:20

racism, the fact they believe it

played a part in Mr Ebrahimi's death

0:09:200:09:24

makes it more so. It's a complicated

concept. In this case, the inquiry

0:09:240:09:29

said there was no evidence that any

police officer or council official

0:09:290:09:33

intentionally behaved in a racist

manner, neither that their policies

0:09:330:09:38

and procedures in either

organisation were in any Weiwei

0:09:380:09:42

racist but the definition of

institutional racism was laid out in

0:09:420:09:47

the McPherson Report after the

Stephen Lawrence inquiry, includes

0:09:470:09:51

attitudes in behaviour which amount

to behaviour through

0:09:510:09:57

thoughtlessness, unwitting and

ignorance. It's shocking we are

0:09:570:10:00

still using that phrase of almost 25

years since Stephen Lawrence's

0:10:000:10:03

murder. It's a reminder also of how

hard it is to change the deep-seated

0:10:030:10:09

hidden attitudes and prejudices from

affecting the way professionals deal

0:10:090:10:13

with situations. There are

recommendations in the report to

0:10:130:10:17

change oversight checks in the

system to try to prevent that

0:10:170:10:19

happening and clearly for Mr

Ebrahimi's family, the only solace

0:10:190:10:24

there can be after this tragedy is

that somehow those kind of mistakes

0:10:240:10:28

won't happen again.

Thank you.

0:10:280:10:31

Police in Lebanon have arrested

a man in connection with the murder

0:10:310:10:34

of a British embassy

worker in Beirut.

0:10:340:10:36

The body of Rebecca Dykes,

who was 30, was found by the side

0:10:360:10:40

of a motorway on Saturday the day

she was due to fly back

0:10:400:10:43

to Britain for Christmas.

0:10:430:10:44

From Beirut, Martin

Patience reports.

0:10:440:10:49

She's been described as a bright

star, someone who cared deeply for

0:10:490:10:54

others, while working on the

humanitarian front line. Rebecca

0:10:540:10:59

Dykes was helping Lebanon cope with

the influx of Syrian refugees. On

0:10:590:11:05

Friday night, Rebecca came to this

bar behind me, she was attending

0:11:050:11:08

leaving drinks for a colleague. She

was relatively new in the city. This

0:11:080:11:12

was an opportunity to meet new

people. Shortly after Midnight, she

0:11:120:11:18

left the bar and apparently got into

a taxi. It was that decision that

0:11:180:11:23

cost her her life. Her body was

found dumped close to a motorway.

0:11:230:11:29

Police say she was strangled. A taxi

driver has now been arrested in

0:11:290:11:34

connection with her murder. Josy

planned to be at the bar that night

0:11:340:11:41

but couldn't go because of work.

It's crazy because all of my friends

0:11:410:11:45

were there. The idea that it could

have been anyone that left the bar

0:11:450:11:49

that that night, I mean we all drink

in this area and go out in this

0:11:490:11:53

neighbourhood which is usually very,

very safe. So we are all just deeply

0:11:530:12:01

saddened that one of our friends

left by herself and didn't come

0:12:010:12:03

back.

On Twitter, the British

Ambassador Hugo Shorter wrote:

0:12:030:12:12

Rebecca was said to be thrilled

about working in Lebanon and

0:12:210:12:25

colleagues said she made a real

impact before her life was cut

0:12:250:12:28

short.

0:12:280:12:32

Police in Birmingham are continuing

to appeal for witnesses,

0:12:330:12:37

after a crash which left six people

dead in the city

0:12:370:12:40

centre at the weekend.

0:12:400:12:44

Crash investigators are trying

to piece together what caused

0:12:440:12:46

the pile-up, in the early hours

of Sunday morning.

0:12:460:12:48

Our correspondent

Emma Thomas reports.

0:12:480:12:51

It was 1:00am on the penultimate

weekend before Christmas,

0:12:510:12:54

when emergency services were called

to an horrific scene.

0:12:540:12:57

Six vehicles and 13 people

caught in a collision,

0:12:570:13:01

the impact of which left a black

taxi cab on its side and produced

0:13:010:13:05

a sound so powerful it awoke

people living nearby.

0:13:050:13:09

40 firefighters and specially

trained paramedics tried

0:13:090:13:12

to save the victims,

but five people were confirmed dead

0:13:120:13:17

at the scene, a sixth

died later in hospital,

0:13:170:13:20

and a seventh remains

in critical condition.

0:13:200:13:22

The first victim to be named

is Imtiaz Mohammed, the taxi driver.

0:13:220:13:25

A 33-year-old father of six,

his youngest daughter

0:13:250:13:28

marks her fourth birthday today.

0:13:280:13:32

Both his passengers,

a man and woman, also died.

0:13:320:13:34

He told his wife, it was to be his

last fare of the shift

0:13:340:13:38

and that he would be home soon.

0:13:380:13:41

The three other men who were killed,

all travelling in the same car.

0:13:410:13:45

He was a great person,

a remarkable boy, very friendly,

0:13:450:13:49

very sweet, with everyone.

0:13:490:13:54

Everyone, with friends,

in the street, no one

0:13:540:14:01

complained from him.

0:14:010:14:07

Flowers adorn this busy

city underpass today.

0:14:070:14:09

As the investigation continues,

West Midlands Police asked people

0:14:090:14:14

who may have gathered footage

of the aftermath of the crash not

0:14:140:14:18

to share the distressing

images on social media,

0:14:180:14:22

but send them to police to help

officers establish the facts of this

0:14:220:14:26

crash which claimed the lives

of six people.

0:14:260:14:31

The road was closed for several

hours yesterday to allow

0:14:310:14:33

investigation work.

0:14:330:14:36

This busy dual carriageway,

subject to a 40 mph speed limit,

0:14:360:14:40

and Birmingham City Council,

said it had been gritted

0:14:400:14:45

in the hours before the crash due

to freezing temperatures.

0:14:450:14:47

As police piece together

the cause of the collision,

0:14:470:14:52

families grieve the loss of loved

ones killed the week

0:14:520:14:55

before Christmas.

0:14:550:14:56

Emma Thomas, BBC News.

0:14:560:15:06

Theresa May has been holding

discussions with senior

0:15:080:15:10

members of the Cabinet,

for the first time,

0:15:100:15:12

about what the UK's

long-term relationship

0:15:120:15:14

with the European Union should be.

0:15:140:15:15

It follows the decision last week

by the EU that Brexit negotiations

0:15:150:15:18

can now move to the second phase.

0:15:180:15:20

Our Assistant Political Editor

Norman Smith is in Westminster.

0:15:200:15:23

Remarkable I suppose that they are

finally discussing this for a first

0:15:230:15:28

time after the referendum. What

might come up?

In truth not much

0:15:280:15:32

beyond this was their first meeting

was is remarkable in the sense I

0:15:320:15:37

suspect most viewers feel a bit as

if they have been hit about the head

0:15:370:15:40

with a wet kipper when it comes to

Brexit statements, debates and news.

0:15:400:15:45

But the reason this was the first

meeting is because so much attention

0:15:450:15:49

has been focussed on the divorce

deal and because at the moment there

0:15:490:15:54

is no agreement about what sort of

end deal we want with the EU. There

0:15:540:15:58

are those in the Cabinet around the

Chancellor, Philip Hammond, who want

0:15:580:16:03

to ensure we remain close to the

single market so there is still

0:16:030:16:09

access for British and that might

mean possibly accepting some EU

0:16:090:16:14

rules, it might mean belonging still

to some EU organisations, maybe

0:16:140:16:18

involving payments for key parts of

the British economy like the City.

0:16:180:16:21

Then there are those around figures

like the Foreign Secretary, Boris

0:16:210:16:25

Johnson, who think we have got to

move away from EU rules. So we are

0:16:250:16:29

free to strike our own trade deals

which they believe is the real

0:16:290:16:34

benefit from Brexit. Between those

two, Mrs May is trying to negotiate

0:16:340:16:38

a sort of middle road which would

give us access without being bound

0:16:380:16:42

by rules. But overnight, the EU's

chief negotiator has said no, you

0:16:420:16:47

can't have that sort of arrangement.

So if a divorce deal was hard, the

0:16:470:16:51

trade deal looks like it could be

even harder.

Thank you.

Our top story this lunchtime.

0:16:580:17:01

A review of building regulations,

following the Grenfell Tower fire,

0:17:010:17:04

says the current system isn't fit

for purpose and a culture change

0:17:040:17:09

is needed to ensure safety

is prioritised over cost.

0:17:090:17:12

And coming up.

0:17:120:17:14

How pressure to achieve the perfect

body is causing thousands

0:17:140:17:16

to put their long-term

health at risk.

0:17:160:17:19

And still to come.

0:17:190:17:23

Coming up in sport.

0:17:230:17:24

Australia crush England

to regain the Ashes,

0:17:240:17:27

with an innings and 41 run win,

in the third Test in Perth.

0:17:270:17:28

The United Nations High Commissioner

for Human Rights says it is possible

0:17:420:17:44

Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior

figures in Myanmar could face

0:17:440:17:47

charges of genocide,

following the violence

0:17:470:17:49

against the Rohingya

Muslim minority.

0:17:490:17:58

Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein has told

the BBC that the level of planning

0:17:580:18:02

involved suggested the repression

was sanctioned at the highest level.

0:18:020:18:04

As our South Asia correspondent

Justin Rowlatt reports.

0:18:040:18:08

This boy is 11, he draws pictures

of the horrors he has witnessed.

0:18:130:18:22

TRANSLATION:

Older

women were stamped on.

0:18:220:18:25

And then the military grabbed them

by the hair and slaughtered them.

0:18:250:18:34

Because I saw that,

I am drawing this.

0:18:340:18:44

He is one of 650,000 Rohingya

refugees who fled Myanmar

0:18:460:18:50

after a military assault that

began in the late August.

0:18:500:18:53

They are coming to kill us, says

the man, they are coming to kill us.

0:18:530:18:58

The widespread and systematic nature

of the violence has persuaded

0:18:580:19:06

the UN's Human Rights Chief

that the crimes committed in Myanmar

0:19:060:19:09

could amount to genocide.

0:19:090:19:10

Acts intended to destroy

a group of people.

0:19:100:19:16

Can anyone rule out that elements

of genocide may be present?

0:19:160:19:22

He wants a criminal investigation

to identify the perpetrators and,

0:19:220:19:25

in an exclusive interview

with the BBC, he doesn't rule out

0:19:250:19:31

the possibility that Aung Sang Suu

Kyi or military leaders

0:19:310:19:34

could end up in the dock.

0:19:340:19:37

Given the scale of the military

operation, and clearly these

0:19:370:19:40

would have to be decisions taken

at a high enough level,

0:19:400:19:50

and then the crime of omission,

that if it came to your knowledge

0:19:520:19:55

that this was being committed

and you did nothing to stop it,

0:19:550:19:58

then you could be culpable for that.

0:19:580:19:59

He says only a court can judge that.

0:19:590:20:01

But he is determined that

justice should be done.

0:20:010:20:08

In the meantime, though,

this boy and hundreds of thousands

0:20:080:20:10

like him remain in limbo.

0:20:100:20:13

We asked Aung Sang Suu Kyi for

a response but she hasn't replied.

Votes are being counted

in the election of a new leader

0:20:430:20:45

of South Africa's governing

party, the ANC.

0:20:450:20:49

Activists say the bitterly-fought

contest remains too close to call,

0:20:490:20:52

with delegates casting a secret

ballot to choose either the Deputy

0:20:520:20:56

President Cyril Ramaphosa,

or Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma a former

0:20:560:21:01

Cabinet minister and the ex-wife

of President Jacob Zuma.

0:21:010:21:03

Our South Africa correspondent

Milton Nkosi is in Johannesburg.

0:21:030:21:10

Is there a result yet?

Not yet. We are all waiting with

0:21:100:21:19

bated breath. The delegates, you can

see around me, have been coming out

0:21:190:21:23

of the dining hall. Everyone is in

speculating mode, speculating on

0:21:230:21:30

social media. Others say they cannot

take the anxiety, they are waiting

0:21:300:21:35

for this result because the leader

of the ANC will be leading the

0:21:350:21:40

largest political party in South

Africa with a membership of 1

0:21:400:21:45

million. This is the oldest

liberation movement on the African

0:21:450:21:50

continent. Incredibly important not

just for South Africa but for the

0:21:500:21:54

continent as well.

Many thanks.

0:21:540:21:58

A former chief nursing officer,

the Right Reverend Sarah Mullally,

0:21:580:22:01

has become the most senior woman

in the Church of England,

0:22:010:22:03

after being nominated

as Bishop of London.

0:22:030:22:05

Bishop Sarah was made a Dame in 2005

for services to nursing,

0:22:050:22:10

and will replace Lord Chartres,

who retired earlier this year.

0:22:100:22:12

Our religious affairs correspondent

Martin Bashir reports.

0:22:120:22:19

I am very glad to officially

announce our 133rd Bishop of London

0:22:190:22:26

and the Right Reverend Sarah

Mullaly, tightly -- Please welcome

0:22:260:22:35

her.

25 years after the General Synod

0:22:350:22:38

voted to ordain women as priests,

the appointment of the Right

0:22:380:22:42

Reverend Sarah Miller late as the

133rd Bishop of London Marks and

0:22:420:22:47

historic move towards gender

equality and means a woman now holds

0:22:470:22:51

one of the three most senior

positions in the Church of England.

0:22:510:22:56

Yes, it was a surprise but I am

delighted. I have lived and worked

0:22:560:23:00

in London for 32 years so there is a

sense of returning. I am both a

0:23:000:23:07

nurse, the chief nursing officer,

and a parish priest. There is a

0:23:070:23:12

sense I bring all of those to this

role.

0:23:120:23:15

The diocese of London is one of the

few areas where Anglican

0:23:150:23:19

congregations are growing. It boasts

the formidable presence of

0:23:190:23:25

conservatives from the

Anglo-Catholic and evangelical

0:23:250:23:27

traditions who disapprove of women

priests. While the Archbishop of

0:23:270:23:31

Canterbury described the appointment

is wonderful, other church leaders

0:23:310:23:35

were relieved the new Bishop of

London does not support any change

0:23:350:23:39

to the practice of marriage in

church being between a man and

0:23:390:23:44

woman.

I think it would be very regrettable

0:23:440:23:47

if the church moved into that

position because it would undermine

0:23:470:23:52

its traditional teaching. I was

delighted Bishop Sarah said she

0:23:520:23:56

stood by the traditional teachings.

Bishops of London art additionally

0:23:560:24:01

made dean of the chapels royal,

churches like St George's Chapel and

0:24:010:24:07

Westminster Abbey which are overseen

by the monarch and not a bishop.

0:24:070:24:11

This raises the prospect of Bishop

Sarah officiating at the wedding of

0:24:110:24:16

Prince Harry to Meghan Markle due to

take place at Wednesday in many --

0:24:160:24:21

at Windsor in May.

0:24:210:24:23

Martin Bashir, BBC News.

0:24:230:24:30

Police in Scotland saying to people

have died in a fire at a hotel in

0:24:300:24:34

the moment, at the Cameron house

Hotel. Three other people are being

0:24:340:24:39

treated in hospital. Police are

trying to find out how the fire

0:24:390:24:41

began.

0:24:410:24:44

Tens of thousands of people may be

putting themselves at increased risk

0:24:440:24:47

of dying from heart attack

or stroke, because they're

0:24:470:24:49

mis-using anabolic steroids.

0:24:490:24:50

The British Cardiovascular Society

has issued a stark warning,

0:24:500:24:52

amid concern that steroids

are being used by more

0:24:520:24:54

people than ever before,

particularly by young men who feel

0:24:540:24:57

under pressure to

have the perfect body.

0:24:570:24:59

Dan Whitworth reports.

0:24:590:25:08

This is 29-year-old Gareth doing

what he does best, take a look.

0:25:090:25:17

It's what nearly five years

of hard work, dedication

0:25:170:25:19

and black market anabolic

0:25:190:25:20

steroids looks like.

0:25:200:25:27

I feel more awake, better in myself,

more manly, I have a high sex drive.

0:25:270:25:30

There are serious potential

risks from a medical

0:25:300:25:32

perspective using steroids.

0:25:320:25:35

Increased risk of heart attack,

strokes, mood swings, infertility.

0:25:350:25:38

Do those not worry you?

0:25:380:25:41

Everything we do in life carries

a risk of heart attack, cancer.

0:25:410:25:48

Whatever it is, I'm going to get

is those risks anyway.

0:25:480:25:50

I choose not to do certain things.

0:25:500:25:52

I don't go out drinking or smoking.

0:25:520:25:54

I take steroids.

0:25:540:25:56

When it comes to the law,

anabolic steroids are legal to use

0:25:560:25:59

and possess across the UK.

0:25:590:26:02

What is illegal is supplying them

unless you are a doctor.

0:26:020:26:08

If you are caught you could face

prison sentence of up to 14 years.

0:26:080:26:12

Anabolic steroids cause an imbalance

of hormones which can damage

0:26:120:26:15

many different organs,

in particular the heart.

0:26:150:26:18

That doesn't stop this man

who spoke on condition

0:26:180:26:21

of anonymity from dealing them.

0:26:210:26:27

A broad spectrum of people use

steroids, from young guys 18,

0:26:270:26:30

training, looking to bulk up

for a summer holiday.

0:26:300:26:33

A summer holiday.

0:26:330:26:36

They want to attract the girls.

0:26:360:26:38

These guys, you have to be more

informative when you talk to them,

0:26:380:26:42

make them aware of the risks.

0:26:420:26:44

According to public health experts,

hundreds of thousands of people

0:26:440:26:46

are now using anabolic steroids.

0:26:460:26:50

Government figures showed

there were 25 convictions in England

0:26:500:26:53

and Wales relating to illegally

supplying them in

0:26:530:26:55

the last two years.

0:26:550:26:57

Just seven of those

ended with prison.

0:26:570:27:03

What about the health

of the people you are supplying?

0:27:030:27:10

They can face infertility,

mood swings, getting strokes

0:27:100:27:12

decades earlier than the average.

0:27:120:27:13

It is illegal for a reason.

0:27:130:27:14

Yes.

0:27:140:27:15

I don't agree with it being illegal.

0:27:150:27:19

Doctors prescribe testosterone.

0:27:190:27:21

If there is a reason...

0:27:210:27:22

You are not a doctor.

0:27:220:27:25

Doctors prescribe it.

0:27:250:27:32

Steroids, if it was killing people

they would not be prescribing it.

0:27:320:27:35

The media sensationalises it.

0:27:350:27:38

People abuse steroids and do

damage their health.

0:27:380:27:40

That is their choice.

0:27:400:27:43

The group which advises Government

on drug misuse is in the middle

0:27:430:27:46

of a review into anabolic steroids

and due to report its

0:27:460:27:49

findings next year.

0:27:490:27:56

And if you want to see more on that

story, you can watch

0:27:560:28:01

Steroid Nation, a documentary

which is on the BBC Radio 1

0:28:010:28:03

channel of the iPlayer now.

0:28:030:28:06

It was in hope rather than

expectation that the beleaguered

0:28:060:28:09

England cricket team embarked

on this winter's tour to Australia,

0:28:090:28:12

but few would have predicted

they would surrender the Ashes

0:28:120:28:14

quite so easily.

0:28:140:28:15

This morning, England

were bowled out for 218,

0:28:150:28:17

giving the hosts an innings victory

and an unassailable 3-0

0:28:170:28:20

lead in the series.

0:28:200:28:21

Andy Swiss reports from Perth.

0:28:210:28:31

It had been coming for

a while but for Australia still just

0:28:310:28:34

as sweet, for England

just as painful.

0:28:340:28:37

The side began with

an unlikely lifeline.

0:28:370:28:44

Overnight rain had leaked

onto the pitch, an army of leaf

0:28:440:28:47

blowers were deployed,

causing a three hour delay.

0:28:470:28:49

Australia made up for lost time.

0:28:490:28:50

Jonny Bairstow clean bowled by one

that barely bounced.

0:28:500:28:55

Dawid Malan, one of

the few successes, gave

0:28:550:28:57

hope with a gritty 50.

0:28:570:29:01

His resistance ended

and England's last hopes left.

0:29:010:29:05

Chris Woakes was caught behind,

Australia's victory party began.

0:29:050:29:10

England once again

whacked at the WACA,

0:29:100:29:14

England once again whacked

at the WACA, again faced

0:29:140:29:16

with Ashes failure.

0:29:160:29:17

It is bitterly disappointing.

0:29:170:29:22

One frustrating thing is we haven't

been blown away, we have not been

0:29:220:29:25

completely outplayed.

0:29:250:29:26

We have put up some

really good performances,

0:29:260:29:28

just not long enough,

simple as that.

0:29:280:29:35

Again, the scoreboard

in Perth makes sorry reading

0:29:350:29:37

for English cricket.

0:29:370:29:38

To lose the Ashes after three

matches will be a crushing

0:29:380:29:41

disappointment but this is a team

with problems on and off the pitch.

0:29:410:29:44

Their star player Ben Stokes didn't

even travel after an incident

0:29:440:29:47

outside a nightclub.

0:29:470:29:49

Other big names like Stuart Broad

and Alistair Cooke have struggled.

0:29:490:29:52

England were the underdogs here.

0:29:520:29:54

As it turned out, with good reason.

0:29:540:29:56

I have not been surprised

with what I have seen.

0:29:560:30:01

If you look at the England tool box

they have arrived with,

0:30:010:30:05

they were missing a spanner,

screwdriver, no one with real pace.

0:30:050:30:10

Not having their best

player in Ben Stokes

0:30:100:30:12

would always be a big issue.

0:30:120:30:14

The challenge now for England

is a grim one, to avoid

0:30:140:30:17

the dreaded whitewash,

after being outbatted,

0:30:170:30:21

outbowled and outclassed,

and it could be a long few weeks.

0:30:210:30:24

Andy Swiss, BBC News, Perth.

0:30:240:30:28

Time for a look at the weather.

0:30:280:30:29

Can you lift our spirits? It is

beautiful at the moment. We have

0:30:330:30:40

some very thick fog starting to

form.

0:30:400:30:45

Here are some lovely weather watcher

pictures, this one from the Isle of

0:30:450:30:50

Wight. Some folk already. From

around Merseyside to the West

0:30:500:30:57

Midlands into central evidence, we

already have some thick fog forming

0:30:570:31:02

which will become more widespread as

we go through the day. For many of

0:31:020:31:08

us, a beautiful day, cloud and

drizzle in the North West of

0:31:080:31:11

Scotland.

Most likely to develop across

0:31:110:31:19

central England, southern England,

Eastern counties, the fog could be

0:31:190:31:24

dense enough to cause delays on the

road and possibly even some of the

0:31:240:31:29

airports in the South. They're that

in mind if you are travelling

0:31:290:31:33

tomorrow. Look at the extent this

morning. Some freezing fog around as

0:31:330:31:40

temperatures dipped to zero. A lot

milder in the North West due to

0:31:400:31:47

south-westerly winds.

Southern parts of the UK, the

0:31:470:31:55

airports, in some places the fog

will last through the afternoon, in

0:31:550:32:01

many areas it will lift and

disperse.

0:32:010:32:05

Where it lingers, it could be around

0 degrees. Most of us won't get

0:32:050:32:13

that. A lot of low, grey cloud. The

odd spot, 14 degrees in Aberdeen.

0:32:130:32:25

This is an unusual meteorological

phenomenon.

0:32:250:32:29

We had a weather front living in

tomorrow night, fog forming in some

0:32:290:32:33

parts of the country. Wednesday is

gloomy, less foggy, the wind will

0:32:330:32:42

pick up. Temperatures into double

figures.

0:32:420:32:46

The best of the sunshine in

Scotland.

0:32:460:32:49

At the end of the week, this is the

jet stream to the north of us.

0:32:490:32:57

Slightly milder weather for us, high

pressure this time of year usually

0:32:570:33:03

means low, grey skies, drizzly

weather, the risk of more fog. Take

0:33:030:33:07

it steady if you are travelling

first thing tomorrow.
