0:00:04 > 0:00:08Counterterrorism police have made a number of arrests in Derbyshire

0:00:08 > 0:00:12and Yorkshire as they try to foil a suspected Islamist terror plot.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14Four men were arrested at separate addresses

0:00:14 > 0:00:18in the early morning raids.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21In Chesterfield, the bomb squad has been called in and local

0:00:21 > 0:00:27residents evacuated.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31Yes, several streets on the edge of Chesterfield have been cordoned off

0:00:31 > 0:00:36and people moved out of their homes as the bomb squad continued their

0:00:36 > 0:00:44investigation, we will have the latest in the next few moments.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48Also on the programme this lunchtime...

0:00:48 > 0:00:51The Government rules out targets for appointing more black and ethnic

0:00:51 > 0:00:53minority judges but says it's determined to see

0:00:53 > 0:00:54a more diverse judiciary.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56A train that came off a bridge in America,

0:00:56 > 0:00:58killing at least three people, was travelling at 80mph

0:00:58 > 0:00:59in a 30mph zone.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Britain's most expensive and biggest warship ever built is leaking, just

0:01:02 > 0:01:09two weeks after she was commissioned into service by the Queen.

0:01:09 > 0:01:15Every now and again, a little blip. A little popping sound?Yes.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18And why Dame Judy Dench has taken to listening to trees.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20And coming up in the sport on BBC News...

0:01:20 > 0:01:22A man's arrested after Manchester City's Raheem Sterling

0:01:22 > 0:01:24is racially abused and attacked outside the club's training grounds.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54A bomb disposal unit has been deployed in Derbyshire

0:01:54 > 0:01:56as counterterrorist police made a number of arrests to foil

0:01:56 > 0:01:59a suspected Islamist terror plot.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Four men were arrested in South Yorkshire and

0:02:01 > 0:02:02Derbyshire this morning.

0:02:02 > 0:02:08In Chesterfield, where the bomb squad has been called in,

0:02:08 > 0:02:11local residents have been moved from their homes during this

0:02:11 > 0:02:12on-going operation.

0:02:12 > 0:02:19Our correspondent, Danny Savage, is there.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22This is Sheffield Wrote in Chesterfield and early this morning

0:02:22 > 0:02:27a 31-year-old man was arrested in this area and this investigation

0:02:27 > 0:02:31continued with a much wider area being sealed off. You can see the

0:02:31 > 0:02:35police tape, normally busy road, very quiet at the moment, police

0:02:35 > 0:02:39vehicles parked at the top. We understand the bomb squad is working

0:02:39 > 0:02:45at the moment on the street off to the right. Quite a large area sealed

0:02:45 > 0:02:50off at the moment. I would say a square mile, perhaps even more, of

0:02:50 > 0:02:55Chesterfield, on the edge of the town. It is not the only arrest made

0:02:55 > 0:02:59as part of this investigation this morning. There were three other

0:02:59 > 0:03:04arrests made just up the road in Sheffield as well where four

0:03:04 > 0:03:08addresses have been raided early this morning. You can see pictures

0:03:08 > 0:03:13from this morning of activity taking place at various addresses in the

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Sheffield area as this investigation continues. What the north-east

0:03:17 > 0:03:22counterterrorism unit have told us is that this investigation is

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Islamist related, all four men are being questioned at a police station

0:03:26 > 0:03:32in west Yorkshire, 31-year-old man from here, three men aged 22, 36 and

0:03:32 > 0:03:3741, from the Sheffield area, earlier reports this morning of an explosion

0:03:37 > 0:03:41in the Meersbrook area of Sheffield. It wasn't, it was the police forcing

0:03:41 > 0:03:46their way into one of these addresses as part of the raid.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51Ongoing situation. This area still sealed off in Chesterfield and

0:03:51 > 0:03:56addresses being searched in Sheffield. Thank you, Danny Savage

0:03:56 > 0:03:58at the latest.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01The Justice Secretary say he is determined to see a more

0:04:01 > 0:04:04diverse judiciary but has ruled out using targets to appoint more black

0:04:04 > 0:04:06and minority ethnic judges in England and Wales.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08It comes after a review by the Labour MP, David Lammy,

0:04:08 > 0:04:11which said the problem of racial bias in the criminal justice

0:04:11 > 0:04:12system was getting worse.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16Our legal correspondent, Clive Coleman, reports.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19People from black and minority ethnic backgrounds make up around

0:04:19 > 0:04:2514% of the population. So it was shocking in a review by the MP David

0:04:25 > 0:04:30Lammy published in September which found that people from these

0:04:30 > 0:04:35backgrounds make up 25% of the prison population and 41% of the

0:04:35 > 0:04:41youth justice system. Of equal concern, just 11% of magistrates and

0:04:41 > 0:04:487% of judges come from these communities. There are many complex

0:04:48 > 0:04:51reasons for the inequality, but according to this former prisoner,

0:04:51 > 0:04:56some are simple as communication.We talk with our hands, something as

0:04:56 > 0:05:01simple as that, it used to get misconstrued as aggressive

0:05:01 > 0:05:04behaviour, just something that happens in my culture, we talk with

0:05:04 > 0:05:10our hands a lot.To address the inequality, the review made 35

0:05:10 > 0:05:14recommendations including allowing low-level offenders to defer

0:05:14 > 0:05:18prosecutions and opt for rehabilitation programmes. Gathering

0:05:18 > 0:05:21more data on the ethnicity and religion of offenders and publishing

0:05:21 > 0:05:28sentence remarks in the Crown Court with online feedback on judges. The

0:05:28 > 0:05:32Lammy Review confirmed an uncomfortable truth, the criminal

0:05:32 > 0:05:37justice system, here to serve and treat us all equally, discriminates

0:05:37 > 0:05:41against Iraq and minority ethnic people. The Government's wholesale

0:05:41 > 0:05:45acceptance of the spirit and most of the letter of the report represents

0:05:45 > 0:05:51a major attempt to right the wrong. The real test will be whether we can

0:05:51 > 0:05:57cut through what David Lammy rightly identified as an enormous level of

0:05:57 > 0:06:00mistrust among people, particularly young people, in black and ethnic

0:06:00 > 0:06:04minority communities towards the criminal justice system.Mr Lambie

0:06:04 > 0:06:09wanted change at the top, a national target for a representative

0:06:09 > 0:06:14judiciary by 2025 -- David Lammy. But the Government has not agreed to

0:06:14 > 0:06:18that.There are ethnic minority lawyers applying to our judiciary,

0:06:18 > 0:06:23they are just not getting through. Through the process. That is why I

0:06:23 > 0:06:28was keen to set a target or a goal, and ambition, that the system could

0:06:28 > 0:06:33move towards.Today's government response represents a step change in

0:06:33 > 0:06:37the criminal justice system's awareness of and response to race

0:06:37 > 0:06:44discrimination. The hope is that justice will become colour-blind.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Safety investigators in the United States say a train

0:06:46 > 0:06:48that plunged off the tracks, onto a motorway, was travelling

0:06:48 > 0:06:51at 80mph in a 30mph zone.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Three people were killed, and dozens more injured,

0:06:54 > 0:06:56when the train travelling from Seattle to Portland derailed

0:06:56 > 0:06:57on a bend in the line.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02Our correspondent, James Cook, reports.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Amtrak 501, emergency, emergency.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07We are on the ground.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10The conductor calling for help from Amtrak train 501 had just

0:07:10 > 0:07:11survived a deadly high-speed crash.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Is everybody OK?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I am still figuring that out.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19We've got cars everywhere, down onto the highway.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Passengers say the train rocked and creaked as it

0:07:22 > 0:07:24took a curve at speed, and turmoil followed.

0:07:24 > 0:07:33I just grabbed onto the chair in front of me for dear life.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34My laptop went flying, phone went flying.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35People were screaming.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36It was crazy.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39The New Express was taking a faster route from Seattle

0:07:39 > 0:07:40to Portland for the first time.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42The investigator in charge has obtained a download

0:07:42 > 0:07:48of the event data recorder on the rear locomotive.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Preliminary indications are that the train was travelling

0:07:50 > 0:07:57at 80mph in a 30mph track.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Some experts say the rail industry should have embraced technology

0:07:59 > 0:08:01to prevent such accidents years ago.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06It is really ridiculous, the amount of automation,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09the capability that we have, the fact they have not

0:08:09 > 0:08:10implemented it yet, for somebody like me,

0:08:10 > 0:08:13who is an engineer, it is just pathetic.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17This is the latest in a series of deadly rail accidents in the US.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21President Trump says it vindicates his call to improve

0:08:21 > 0:08:24the nation's infrastructure, but it is too early to say whether

0:08:24 > 0:08:26that would have made a difference.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29James Cook, BBC News, Los Angeles.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32CBS News correspondent Kenneth Craig is at the scene of the crash

0:08:32 > 0:08:37in Washington state.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41How much concern was that about the stretch of line, it was new, wasn't

0:08:41 > 0:08:48it, for passengers?Well, there was some concern, not over a possible

0:08:48 > 0:08:52derailment, this stretch of railway did undergo pretty serious

0:08:52 > 0:08:59improvements before this started, but there were concerns from local

0:08:59 > 0:09:02leaders about the possibility and potential for a high-speed train

0:09:02 > 0:09:08posing a risk for motorists and drivers. Live look at the situation

0:09:08 > 0:09:14this morning, this is what we are seeing, very active, ongoing, major

0:09:14 > 0:09:17scene this morning along the interstate, you can see the roadway

0:09:17 > 0:09:23still shut down this morning. Almost 24 hours after this unfolded.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Investigators and crews have been working through the night to try to

0:09:26 > 0:09:31piece together what happened and systematically going through the

0:09:31 > 0:09:34wreckage and the railcars and moving them out of the way so they can

0:09:34 > 0:09:40reopen the road and continue investigations.Kenneth Craig live

0:09:40 > 0:09:44from the scene, thank you.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47There are fears for the jobs of more than 3,000 people in the UK who work

0:09:47 > 0:09:49for the retailer Toys R Us.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52The company's future is uncertain after it was told it had to put

0:09:52 > 0:09:54£9 million into its struggling pension fund by

0:09:54 > 0:09:55the end of this week.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58The Pension Protection Fund says Toys R Us has to cover the blackhole

0:09:58 > 0:10:00before a restructuring plan can go ahead.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04Our business correspondent, Simon Gompertz, is here.

0:10:04 > 0:10:11What is the situation now? Toys R Us and the Pension Protection Fund, the

0:10:11 > 0:10:16lifeboat scheme for pension schemes in danger in this country, they are

0:10:16 > 0:10:20locked in talks this afternoon to try to reconcile the differences

0:10:20 > 0:10:23between the business with 3200 employees and the pension scheme.

0:10:23 > 0:10:29There is a difference between Toys R Us is struggling in the face of

0:10:29 > 0:10:32competition from the internet, trying to do a deal with creditors

0:10:32 > 0:10:36under which it does not have to pay them so much and it can carry on

0:10:36 > 0:10:41with fewer stores, they will close some of them, make 800 people lose

0:10:41 > 0:10:47their jobs, that would happen in any case, but they need to support not

0:10:47 > 0:10:53only of creditors but the Pension Protection Fund. The Pension

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Protection Fund is representing 600 members of the pension scheme, many

0:10:56 > 0:11:02of those do not work for Toys R Us anymore and they want £9 million to

0:11:02 > 0:11:09partly plug the £30 million gap in the pension scheme. It is basically

0:11:09 > 0:11:13three years contributions paid in advance. They are talking about it

0:11:13 > 0:11:16now. I understand the Pension Protection Fund has indicated it

0:11:16 > 0:11:20will vote against the rescue plan, putting the future of the company in

0:11:20 > 0:11:26jeopardy. However, the company itself, Toys R Us, are saying it is

0:11:26 > 0:11:30trading fine through Christmas and the New Year, gift cards are valid,

0:11:30 > 0:11:33it is fine.Thank you.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35A BBC investigation has uncovered failings in the provision of health

0:11:35 > 0:11:36care at Liverpool Prison.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Whistleblowers have revealed that inmates have died and others have

0:11:39 > 0:11:40been seriously injured as a result.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42The incidents occurred after inspectors visited the jail.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45The health trust involved has apologised.

0:11:45 > 0:11:51Our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, reports.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55Liverpool Prison is arguably England's's worst jail.What are you

0:11:55 > 0:12:01doing?It is squalid, violent and riddled with drugs. Staff and

0:12:01 > 0:12:07prisoners have been let down by a failing regime. Annette lost her

0:12:07 > 0:12:10grandson, Ashley, through failures at Liverpool Prison. She raised him

0:12:10 > 0:12:16as her own and heard his growing concerns with the jail. In April,

0:12:16 > 0:12:202015, he died. The prison had repeatedly failed to give the

0:12:20 > 0:12:2425-year-old that asthma medicine he desperately needed.He was not

0:12:24 > 0:12:29getting any support for his health. He kept on and on, wrote letters to

0:12:29 > 0:12:34the doctor, begging them to get his prescription that he needed. But

0:12:34 > 0:12:39they did not decide to order that prescription until the day he died.

0:12:39 > 0:12:44Years later, the problems persist. In September, inspectors carried out

0:12:44 > 0:12:48an unannounced visit. We have seen the unpublished report, it says,

0:12:48 > 0:12:53there is a lack of support for people with mental health needs and

0:12:53 > 0:12:56inpatients have an impoverished regime. Within days, an inmate

0:12:56 > 0:13:01killed himself in the health care unit. Less than three weeks later,

0:13:01 > 0:13:06another prisoner died by suicide. Staff told us the prison at the

0:13:06 > 0:13:11moment is so risky. A month later, a third death. Medics informed us the

0:13:11 > 0:13:15seriously young man had died after waiting nearly 17 hours to see the

0:13:15 > 0:13:21prison GP. Health care at the prison is run by Lancashire Care NHS

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Foundation Trust. They say services are improving and medical director

0:13:25 > 0:13:32admitted to me they had made mistakes.Brought in new staff, we

0:13:32 > 0:13:36have considerably improved access to GPs in the prison. We have made

0:13:36 > 0:13:41improvements. But not at the pace and had the level we would have

0:13:41 > 0:13:45liked.Inspectors have described living conditions at Liverpool as

0:13:45 > 0:13:49the worst they have ever seen, rats and cockroaches are rife, blocked

0:13:49 > 0:13:53toilets

0:13:53 > 0:13:55and cockroaches are rife, blocked toilets. Ministers say improvements

0:13:55 > 0:14:00are under way but such promises have been made before so staff and the

0:14:00 > 0:14:051100 inmates will want to see concrete changes before the jail

0:14:05 > 0:14:08loses its appalling reputation. Michael B Cannon, BBC News,

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Liverpool.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Our top story this lunchtime...

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Counter terrorism police have made a number of arrests in Derbyshire

0:14:17 > 0:14:20and Yorkshire as they try to foil a suspected Islamist terror plot.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22And coming up, tackling online hate crime.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27Social media sites are criticised by MPs for not doing enough.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Coming up in sport: West Ham's Manuel Lanzini will find

0:14:29 > 0:14:32out later if he can face Arsenal in the Carabao Cup after

0:14:32 > 0:14:36he was charged for diving.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48It has cost more than £3 billion to build -

0:14:48 > 0:14:51it's the Royal Navy's biggest and most expensive ship.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55And now it has emerged that HMS Queen Elizabeth is leaking.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57The aircraft carrier was commissioned by the Queen

0:14:57 > 0:14:59less than two weeks ago.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01But during sea trials, she began taking on 200

0:15:01 > 0:15:06litres of water an hour because of a faulty seal.

0:15:06 > 0:15:12Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale reports.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16This morning the Royal Navy's newest, largest and most expensive

0:15:16 > 0:15:21warship was tied up at Portsmouth, undergoing what looks like repairs

0:15:21 > 0:15:25around her stern. A diving suit hanging up suggesting they have

0:15:25 > 0:15:28already been investigating the problem. They found a leak around

0:15:28 > 0:15:34the seal of one of the massive propeller shafts. Taking on around

0:15:34 > 0:15:38200 litres of sea water every hour. This morning, the Defence Secretary

0:15:38 > 0:15:46was insistent it is not as serious or expensive.She is in Portsmouth

0:15:46 > 0:15:50having repairs that are needed. This is the whole name of the sea trials

0:15:50 > 0:15:57to make sure we look at the problems that occur -- the whole game. It

0:15:57 > 0:16:01will not cost the British taxpayer any money. She will be out in the

0:16:01 > 0:16:05New Year continuing sea trials.A true flagship for the 21st

0:16:05 > 0:16:10century...It is still embarrassing for the Royal Navy, less than two

0:16:10 > 0:16:13weeks ago, amid fanfare, the Queen commissioned her into service. At

0:16:13 > 0:16:19the time, no mention of any fault as the £3 billion ship was handed over

0:16:19 > 0:16:24to the Navy. The leak was discovered earlier this year while she was

0:16:24 > 0:16:27undergoing sea trials. It is now on a list of repairs that still need to

0:16:27 > 0:16:33be rectified. The MoD insists the contractors will be carrying out and

0:16:33 > 0:16:38paying for the work. The question now is how easy will this repair be?

0:16:38 > 0:16:44Can she be fixed while still in the water? Will she have to be returned

0:16:44 > 0:16:48to a dry doc, potentially delaying the programme?It depends where the

0:16:48 > 0:16:53seal is, if it is at the ship and, if you like, of the shaft, not

0:16:53 > 0:16:57expensive, they can do that while the ship is in the water. If it is

0:16:57 > 0:17:13at the wet end, towards the cost of this has almost doubled.It has been

0:17:13 > 0:17:20a bumpy ride for the new jets that will eventually fly off her. The 35.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Today MPs accused the MoD of repeatedly failing to answer their

0:17:23 > 0:17:31questions about the costs of that programme. This whole project has

0:17:31 > 0:17:35been complex and expensive and all the challenges have not been

0:17:35 > 0:17:37overcome.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Our correspondent Robert Hall is in Portsmouth.

0:17:40 > 0:17:45The Defence Secretary says it's not a serious problem but all the same

0:17:45 > 0:17:49it's pretty embarrassing isn't it? Yes, there is no doubt these are

0:17:49 > 0:17:53headlines the navy would rather not have seen, particularly after the

0:17:53 > 0:17:55high profile commissioner ceremony that you saw in Jonathan's report.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59But they can't afford to be distracted from the task in hand, if

0:17:59 > 0:18:04you have built a house, you know the snagging process that you go through

0:18:04 > 0:18:07with the builders, you can imagine what the snagging process with the

0:18:07 > 0:18:11giant behind me there, everything from tiny things like light bulbs to

0:18:11 > 0:18:15major issues like the one we have talked about today. As far as that

0:18:15 > 0:18:17is concerned, there isn't any indication at present down here that

0:18:17 > 0:18:22the ship would have to leave to go to dry dock. It's being assessed.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26They'll have to make that area safe and watertight before they can begin

0:18:26 > 0:18:31work on the seal itself which we are told is a job that should, should

0:18:31 > 0:18:35take a couple of days, but obviously Which? We don't know what unforeseen

0:18:35 > 0:18:38circumstances there'll be. It's very important they stick to the

0:18:38 > 0:18:42timetable. Again we are expecting the Queen Elizabeth to head off for

0:18:42 > 0:18:46sea trials in the first four to six weeks of next year. That in itself

0:18:46 > 0:18:51is part of a more elaborate timetable which again, as Jonathan

0:18:51 > 0:18:55indicated, includes the carrier being joined by its aircraft at the

0:18:55 > 0:19:00back end offer in year. Then begins another major work-up to get the

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Queen Elizabeth operational. So it's quite important that they get over

0:19:03 > 0:19:08this snagging, get on with it as quickly as possible.Robert Hall in

0:19:08 > 0:19:09Portsmouth, thank you.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Senior executives from Facebook, Twitter and Google have been giving

0:19:12 > 0:19:15evidence to MPs about tackling the growing rise

0:19:15 > 0:19:17in online hate crime.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21The social media companies are being urged to introduce tougher

0:19:21 > 0:19:23safeguards, with some people calling for fines to be imposed

0:19:23 > 0:19:26if they don't act fast enough to remove offensive material.

0:19:26 > 0:19:32Our Media Editor Amol Rajan is here.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34So they've been questioned about this in the Commons. What's been

0:19:34 > 0:19:38said?The chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee was full of robust

0:19:38 > 0:19:42questions today because I think a lot of MPs feel that it's not just

0:19:42 > 0:19:47members of the public receiving horrendous abuse but MPs in

0:19:47 > 0:19:52particular. We know about people like Anna Soubry and Stella Creasy

0:19:52 > 0:19:55who've received abuse. Tim Loughton, the former Children's Minister, the

0:19:55 > 0:20:00Tory MP, was describing the fact that it's very, very easy, if you

0:20:00 > 0:20:04look online, Twitter or Facebook, to find vile, vile threats to MP

0:20:04 > 0:20:07security. The main thrust of what they were saying today is that it

0:20:07 > 0:20:11shouldn't just be MPs complaining about this and having their

0:20:11 > 0:20:15responses taken seriously, it should be members of the public too. The

0:20:15 > 0:20:19MPs are joining forces with the public saying it's a serious problem

0:20:19 > 0:20:22and could end up degrading our democracy.Pressure on the companies

0:20:22 > 0:20:25to do something about hate crime, but what can they do?Most people

0:20:25 > 0:20:29agree what abuse i content is. Everyone agrees there is too much of

0:20:29 > 0:20:34it. But no-one agrees what you should do about it. The first have

0:20:34 > 0:20:39been a matter of principle. The companies they it's not their

0:20:39 > 0:20:42responsibility to vet material before it goes online. There are

0:20:42 > 0:20:45platforms that allows everyone to put their stuff online and they rely

0:20:45 > 0:20:49on a community to police that content so they say that is the

0:20:49 > 0:20:54principle of the open web. The second issue is a practical one. The

0:20:54 > 0:20:59sheer content of volume, 400 hours going on YouTube every single minute

0:20:59 > 0:21:05means it's impossible to police completely. Facebook has doubled the

0:21:05 > 0:21:09number of human moderate overs looking at this, but I feel there is

0:21:09 > 0:21:14a tacit admission that this is a war without end and it would be solved

0:21:14 > 0:21:19not by human beings but by computers.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Online pornography, sexting and how to stay safe online; they're

0:21:22 > 0:21:24are all topics that could soon be covered by sex education

0:21:24 > 0:21:26classes in English schools.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29The government is asking parents, teachers and young people

0:21:29 > 0:21:32for their opinions on what should be included in new guidelines.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34It's the first time they've been updated in 17 years.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Here's our correspondent Richard Galpin.

0:21:38 > 0:21:42What's different about what's the same...The guideline force teaching

0:21:42 > 0:21:45school children about relationships and sex have not changed since the

0:21:45 > 0:21:51turn of the century. And with lessons like this to be made

0:21:51 > 0:21:55compulsory in all England's schools, an update is urgently needed,

0:21:55 > 0:21:59particularly given how much time many children now spend online.

0:21:59 > 0:22:04Here, there are new risks like sexting, when explicit images of

0:22:04 > 0:22:09children are Poled via messaging apps. And there's cyber bullying and

0:22:09 > 0:22:15the availability online of hard core pornography.Often young people

0:22:15 > 0:22:19don't necessarily know what's inappropriate in terms of behaviour

0:22:19 > 0:22:22and materials versus what is appropriate. They're confronted by

0:22:22 > 0:22:25so much stuff these days on the Internet. Then they often don't know

0:22:25 > 0:22:30what is illegal versus what is legal in terms of what they themselves are

0:22:30 > 0:22:36doing, so it really is time that we now update this guidance.The

0:22:36 > 0:22:41Government now wants pupils, teachers and parents all to suggest

0:22:41 > 0:22:45how sex and relationship education could be updated to make it more

0:22:45 > 0:22:53relevant. Hafisa who is now at university and Toby who is in sixth

0:22:53 > 0:22:56form told me just how important it's become to have a more modern

0:22:56 > 0:23:00approach to sex and relationships education.When I was at school, we

0:23:00 > 0:23:04got a really basic education so we sort of learned this is a penis,

0:23:04 > 0:23:09this is a vagina, this is a condom, here is how pregnancy looks. These

0:23:09 > 0:23:16are STDs. But we weren't really taught much about consent, LGBT

0:23:16 > 0:23:22issues or what it means to be LGBT. According to Koby, many boys' views

0:23:22 > 0:23:25of sex are shaped from a young age by watching pornography on the

0:23:25 > 0:23:31Internet.12 or 13, young boys looking at pornography online which

0:23:31 > 0:23:36is degrading to women, sexism and misogynistic. They look at these and

0:23:36 > 0:23:41they think that they expect girls to do things behind closed doors. It's

0:23:41 > 0:23:44just not like that and there are incidences of coercion and the way

0:23:44 > 0:23:48they talk about girls openly in the classroom is very sort of degrading

0:23:48 > 0:23:51towards women and girls. It's not right that that should be happening

0:23:51 > 0:23:57in the classroom.Sexual harassment and assaults in schools are a major

0:23:57 > 0:24:02issue. The hope now is that by broadening what's taught in sex

0:24:02 > 0:24:07education classes will help young people learn the importance of

0:24:07 > 0:24:19healthy, stable relationships. Richard Galpin, BBC News.

0:24:19 > 0:24:25Dramatic footage has been released showing a baby being rescued from a

0:24:31 > 0:24:35have been transferred to nearby lodges.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38The world 100 metre champion Justin Gatlin says he's "shocked

0:24:38 > 0:24:41and surprised" at doping allegations made against his coach

0:24:41 > 0:24:43and an athletics agent.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46Anti-doping officials are investigating after

0:24:46 > 0:24:49the Daily Telegraph said the agent Robert Wagner offered to "supply

0:24:49 > 0:24:53performance-enhancing drugs", to undercover reporters

0:24:53 > 0:24:55and insinuated that Gatlin himself was taking them.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Both men deny the allegations.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03become the 100 metre world champion.

0:25:03 > 0:25:04Gatlin wins it...

0:25:04 > 0:25:09But Justin Gatlin is ending a brilliant year under

0:25:09 > 0:25:11a cloud of suspicion.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14It stems from a video of undercover reporters

0:25:14 > 0:25:18from The Telegraph newspaper at Gatlin's

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Florida training camp.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25The paper claims Gatlin's coach and an athletics agent Robert Wagner

0:25:25 > 0:25:29offered to supply and administer PED, performance enhancing drugs,

0:25:29 > 0:25:31for an actor training for a film.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33The video apparently shows Wagner insinuating Gatlin

0:25:33 > 0:25:36is taking banned substances.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Justin's going to do it, just like every other

0:25:40 > 0:25:42sprinter in America.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43I have to do it...

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Wagner and Gatlin deny the claims.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48The 35-year-old's legal representatives added the sprinter

0:25:48 > 0:25:51had more than five years official drugs tests to show he'd

0:25:51 > 0:25:55never tested positive for any banned substance.

0:25:55 > 0:26:03Gatlin himself released this statement earlier.

0:26:03 > 0:26:04I'm not using and have not used PEDs.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08I was shocked and surprised to learn that my coach would have anything

0:26:08 > 0:26:10to do with even the appearance of these current accusations.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13I fired him as soon as I found out about this.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16The fired coach is Dennis Mitchell seen here in the green T-shirt.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19He allegedly said athletes are able to get away with doping

0:26:19 > 0:26:23because the drugs they use cannot be detected by tests.

0:26:23 > 0:26:31Mitchell, a former Olympic medallist with a checkered past involving

0:26:31 > 0:26:33banned substances, denies he ever suggested that any of his current

0:26:33 > 0:26:34athletes used any drugs.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36But for those fighting for fair sport, it's

0:26:36 > 0:26:39another blow to integrity.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43We want sport to be credible.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47We need to do a lot more to try to improve the immediacy

0:26:47 > 0:26:51of the sanctioning system in order that we are actually making sure

0:26:51 > 0:26:54that what people see they can believe in.

0:26:54 > 0:26:59The US Anti-Doping Agency said it's only fair to let due process occur

0:26:59 > 0:27:04before jumping to any conclusions, but after serving two

0:27:04 > 0:27:07drugs bans in the past, Gatlin is rarely afforded

0:27:07 > 0:27:09the benefit of the doubt.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20years on stage and screen.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23But now at the age of 83 she's indulging another

0:27:25 > 0:27:26Trees.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30As our correspondent Helen Briggs reports.

0:27:30 > 0:27:35Trees in their winter glory, but they're more than just

0:27:35 > 0:27:40beautiful, as Dame Judi Dench learned in a new BBC documentary,

0:27:40 > 0:27:44they're an allie in the fight against climate change.

0:27:44 > 0:27:50I'm told that all those leaves are helping the tree to breathe

0:27:50 > 0:27:53in more carbon dioxide which it will then use to grow more branches.

0:27:53 > 0:27:58It's not just about planting more trees, it's about the right trees

0:27:58 > 0:28:01in the right places.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04These giant trees are very, very important for drawing

0:28:04 > 0:28:07down carbon dioxide.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09In addition, in cities, a high density of trees is really

0:28:09 > 0:28:13important for removing particular matter from the air and when you've

0:28:13 > 0:28:17got denser trees, you have less instance of the respiratory problems

0:28:17 > 0:28:18associateded with pollution.

0:28:18 > 0:28:23This NASA map shows how growing trees soak up carbon dioxide

0:28:23 > 0:28:26in the northern hemisphere summer.

0:28:26 > 0:28:32Every year, the trees here at Kew take up tonnes of carbon

0:28:32 > 0:28:35dioxide from the air, but they're not just carbon capture

0:28:35 > 0:28:39machines, they're a living laboratory for scientists.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41And we are constantly learning new things about them.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Every now and again a little blip.

0:28:45 > 0:28:46Like a popping sound?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Yes.

0:28:48 > 0:28:54So that little popping sound is the sound of the water travelling

0:28:54 > 0:28:59up from the roots all the way through the thousands of tiny little

0:28:59 > 0:29:04tubes called xylem tubes just behind the bark.

0:29:04 > 0:29:11Kew has thousands of rare, exotic trees.

0:29:11 > 0:29:17The man who looks after them says there's no end to their uses.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Trees give us everything that we use today, so they give us

0:29:20 > 0:29:22the oxygen we breathe, they use our carbon

0:29:22 > 0:29:23dioxide to produce that.

0:29:23 > 0:29:27They're good for reducing the amount of run-off and preventing erosion,

0:29:27 > 0:29:31they're the best air conditioners, they clean pollutants

0:29:31 > 0:29:34out of the atmosphere.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37They're good for our well-being and they're aesthetically beautiful.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41You know, that is so important today and becoming more and more relevant.

0:29:41 > 0:29:47Scientists say trees have a big role to play in pollution control,

0:29:47 > 0:29:51but will only get the benefits if we plant the right trees

0:29:51 > 0:29:53in the right places.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Helen Briggs, BBC News.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08You can see that tomorrow on BBC One at 8.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Time for a look at the weather.

0:30:10 > 0:30:11Here's Tomasz Schafernaker.

0:30:11 > 0:30:16Less than a week until Christmas, are you going to give us a white

0:30:16 > 0:30:17Christmas or not? Honestly.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19are you going to give us a white Christmas or not? Honestly. I can

0:30:19 > 0:30:23give you a white Christmas with fake snow. Doesn't look like it at the

0:30:23 > 0:30:27moment. I don't want the snow to make my life really difficult and

0:30:27 > 0:30:31I'm working over Christmas. Many of you probably want that festive snow.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35At the moment, doesn't look like it's heading our way. It will be the

0:30:35 > 0:30:39opposite, probably rain and mild. We have had wintry scenes this morning,

0:30:39 > 0:30:49some mist and freezing fog. Really slip pill this morning. Minus four

0:30:49 > 0:30:58in Bournemouth, 15 degrees in Scotland.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01-- -- slippy this morning. Temperatures in Scotland up to 14 or

0:31:01 > 0:31:0715. To the south, it's a totally different story, cloudy and gloomy

0:31:07 > 0:31:12in some areas. Also a bit of sunshine. This is 3 o'clock. On the

0:31:12 > 0:31:16south coast, brightness. Eight degrees in Bournemouth after the

0:31:16 > 0:31:18chilly start.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26Tonight, the weather is going to be slightly different. It will be a

0:31:26 > 0:31:30very mild night. We are not expecting any frost. Temperatures in

0:31:30 > 0:31:33England an Wales will be plus five. In Glasgow and Belfast, double

0:31:33 > 0:31:39figures. Here a weather front is moving through bringing cloud and

0:31:39 > 0:31:44drizzle. This is the jet stream and look what it's doing at the moment.

0:31:44 > 0:31:51It's pushing in this tunnel of mild air. Right up to Lapland into

0:31:51 > 0:31:55Finland there. This weather pattern is not expected to change an awful

0:31:55 > 0:31:59lot in the run-up to Christmas. Tomorrow, along with the mild tunnel

0:31:59 > 0:32:04of air, there is also a weather front. A bit of drizzle around in

0:32:04 > 0:32:08Lancashire northern parts of Wales. Scotland will have a brighter cooler

0:32:08 > 0:32:14day and, in the south, 11 degrees in Cardiff and London. That is midweek.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18How about Thursday - not much change. Remember that big weather

0:32:18 > 0:32:21pattern with the jet stream pushing the wilder weather our way isn't

0:32:21 > 0:32:25moving. We have got double figure temperatures across the south and

0:32:25 > 0:32:29around about five degrees a little bit fresher in Scotland. This is the

0:32:29 > 0:32:33weather map. You can see high pressure to the south of the UK, low

0:32:33 > 0:32:35pressure and weather fronts out there in the Atlantic and you can

0:32:35 > 0:32:39see how the wind is flowing, coming in from the southern climes and

0:32:39 > 0:32:44moving in our direction, hence that milder air. Let us summarise the

0:32:44 > 0:32:50run-up to Christmas then - not everybody's going to like it.

0:32:50 > 0:32:55Staying mild, often cloudy and rain in the north. That's it. No snow is

0:32:55 > 0:33:00the bottom line. Wet and mild. Thank you. A reminder of our main story

0:33:00 > 0:33:04this lunch time: Counter-Terrorism police have made a number of arrests

0:33:04 > 0:33:05in Derbyshire and Yorkshire as they
