Counterterrorism police have made

a number of arrests in Derbyshire

0:00:040:00:08

and Yorkshire as they try to foil

a suspected Islamist terror plot.

0:00:080:00:12

Four men were arrested

at separate addresses

0:00:120:00:14

in the early morning raids.

0:00:140:00:18

In Chesterfield, the bomb squad has

been called in and local

0:00:180:00:21

residents evacuated.

0:00:210:00:27

Yes, several streets on the edge of

Chesterfield have been cordoned off

0:00:270:00:31

and people moved out of their homes

as the bomb squad continued their

0:00:310:00:36

investigation, we will have the

latest in the next few moments.

0:00:360:00:44

Also on the programme this

lunchtime...

0:00:440:00:48

The Government rules out targets

for appointing more black and ethnic

0:00:480:00:51

minority judges but says

it's determined to see

0:00:510:00:53

a more diverse judiciary.

0:00:530:00:54

A train that came off

a bridge in America,

0:00:540:00:56

killing at least three people,

was travelling at 80mph

0:00:560:00:58

in a 30mph zone.

0:00:580:00:59

Britain's most expensive and biggest

warship ever built is leaking, just

0:00:590:01:02

two weeks after she was commissioned

into service by the Queen.

0:01:020:01:09

Every now and again, a little blip.

A little popping sound?

Yes.

0:01:090:01:15

And why Dame Judy Dench has taken

to listening to trees.

0:01:150:01:18

And coming up in the

sport on BBC News...

0:01:180:01:20

A man's arrested after

Manchester City's Raheem Sterling

0:01:200:01:22

is racially abused and attacked

outside the club's training grounds.

0:01:220:01:24

Good afternoon and welcome

to the BBC News at One.

0:01:470:01:49

A bomb disposal unit has been

deployed in Derbyshire

0:01:490:01:54

as counterterrorist police made

a number of arrests to foil

0:01:540:01:56

a suspected Islamist terror plot.

0:01:560:01:59

Four men were arrested

in South Yorkshire and

0:01:590:02:01

Derbyshire this morning.

0:02:010:02:02

In Chesterfield, where the bomb

squad has been called in,

0:02:020:02:08

local residents have been moved

from their homes during this

0:02:080:02:11

on-going operation.

0:02:110:02:12

Our correspondent,

Danny Savage, is there.

0:02:120:02:19

This is Sheffield Wrote in

Chesterfield and early this morning

0:02:190:02:22

a 31-year-old man was arrested in

this area and this investigation

0:02:220:02:27

continued with a much wider area

being sealed off. You can see the

0:02:270:02:31

police tape, normally busy road,

very quiet at the moment, police

0:02:310:02:35

vehicles parked at the top. We

understand the bomb squad is working

0:02:350:02:39

at the moment on the street off to

the right. Quite a large area sealed

0:02:390:02:45

off at the moment. I would say a

square mile, perhaps even more, of

0:02:450:02:50

Chesterfield, on the edge of the

town. It is not the only arrest made

0:02:500:02:55

as part of this investigation this

morning. There were three other

0:02:550:02:59

arrests made just up the road in

Sheffield as well where four

0:02:590:03:04

addresses have been raided early

this morning. You can see pictures

0:03:040:03:08

from this morning of activity taking

place at various addresses in the

0:03:080:03:13

Sheffield area as this investigation

continues. What the north-east

0:03:130:03:17

counterterrorism unit have told us

is that this investigation is

0:03:170:03:22

Islamist related, all four men are

being questioned at a police station

0:03:220:03:26

in west Yorkshire, 31-year-old man

from here, three men aged 22, 36 and

0:03:260:03:32

41, from the Sheffield area, earlier

reports this morning of an explosion

0:03:320:03:37

in the Meersbrook area of Sheffield.

It wasn't, it was the police forcing

0:03:370:03:41

their way into one of these

addresses as part of the raid.

0:03:410:03:46

Ongoing situation. This area still

sealed off in Chesterfield and

0:03:460:03:51

addresses being searched in

Sheffield. Thank you, Danny Savage

0:03:510:03:56

at the latest.

0:03:560:03:58

The Justice Secretary say

he is determined to see a more

0:03:580:04:01

diverse judiciary but has ruled out

using targets to appoint more black

0:04:010:04:04

and minority ethnic judges

in England and Wales.

0:04:040:04:06

It comes after a review

by the Labour MP, David Lammy,

0:04:060:04:08

which said the problem of racial

bias in the criminal justice

0:04:080:04:11

system was getting worse.

0:04:110:04:12

Our legal correspondent,

Clive Coleman, reports.

0:04:120:04:16

People from black and minority

ethnic backgrounds make up around

0:04:160:04:19

14% of the population. So it was

shocking in a review by the MP David

0:04:190:04:25

Lammy published in September which

found that people from these

0:04:250:04:30

backgrounds make up 25% of the

prison population and 41% of the

0:04:300:04:35

youth justice system. Of equal

concern, just 11% of magistrates and

0:04:350:04:41

7% of judges come from these

communities. There are many complex

0:04:410:04:48

reasons for the inequality, but

according to this former prisoner,

0:04:480:04:51

some are simple as communication.

We

talk with our hands, something as

0:04:510:04:56

simple as that, it used to get

misconstrued as aggressive

0:04:560:05:01

behaviour, just something that

happens in my culture, we talk with

0:05:010:05:04

our hands a lot.

To address the

inequality, the review made 35

0:05:040:05:10

recommendations including allowing

low-level offenders to defer

0:05:100:05:14

prosecutions and opt for

rehabilitation programmes. Gathering

0:05:140:05:18

more data on the ethnicity and

religion of offenders and publishing

0:05:180:05:21

sentence remarks in the Crown Court

with online feedback on judges. The

0:05:210:05:28

Lammy Review confirmed an

uncomfortable truth, the criminal

0:05:280:05:32

justice system, here to serve and

treat us all equally, discriminates

0:05:320:05:37

against Iraq and minority ethnic

people. The Government's wholesale

0:05:370:05:41

acceptance of the spirit and most of

the letter of the report represents

0:05:410:05:45

a major attempt to right the wrong.

The real test will be whether we can

0:05:450:05:51

cut through what David Lammy rightly

identified as an enormous level of

0:05:510:05:57

mistrust among people, particularly

young people, in black and ethnic

0:05:570:06:00

minority communities towards the

criminal justice system.

Mr Lambie

0:06:000:06:04

wanted change at the top, a national

target for a representative

0:06:040:06:09

judiciary by 2025 -- David Lammy.

But the Government has not agreed to

0:06:090:06:14

that.

There are ethnic minority

lawyers applying to our judiciary,

0:06:140:06:18

they are just not getting through.

Through the process. That is why I

0:06:180:06:23

was keen to set a target or a goal,

and ambition, that the system could

0:06:230:06:28

move towards.

Today's government

response represents a step change in

0:06:280:06:33

the criminal justice system's

awareness of and response to race

0:06:330:06:37

discrimination. The hope is that

justice will become colour-blind.

0:06:370:06:44

Safety investigators

in the United States say a train

0:06:440:06:46

that plunged off the tracks,

onto a motorway, was travelling

0:06:460:06:48

at 80mph in a 30mph zone.

0:06:480:06:51

Three people were killed,

and dozens more injured,

0:06:510:06:54

when the train travelling

from Seattle to Portland derailed

0:06:540:06:56

on a bend in the line.

0:06:560:06:57

Our correspondent,

James Cook, reports.

0:06:570:07:02

Amtrak 501, emergency, emergency.

0:07:020:07:03

We are on the ground.

0:07:030:07:07

The conductor calling for help

from Amtrak train 501 had just

0:07:070:07:10

survived a deadly high-speed crash.

0:07:100:07:11

Is everybody OK?

0:07:110:07:13

I am still figuring that out.

0:07:130:07:16

We've got cars everywhere,

down onto the highway.

0:07:160:07:19

Passengers say the train

rocked and creaked as it

0:07:190:07:22

took a curve at speed,

and turmoil followed.

0:07:220:07:24

I just grabbed onto the chair

in front of me for dear life.

0:07:240:07:33

My laptop went flying,

phone went flying.

0:07:330:07:34

People were screaming.

0:07:340:07:35

It was crazy.

0:07:350:07:36

The New Express was taking

a faster route from Seattle

0:07:360:07:39

to Portland for the first time.

0:07:390:07:40

The investigator in charge

has obtained a download

0:07:400:07:42

of the event data recorder

on the rear locomotive.

0:07:420:07:48

Preliminary indications

are that the train was travelling

0:07:480:07:50

at 80mph in a 30mph track.

0:07:500:07:57

Some experts say the rail industry

should have embraced technology

0:07:570:07:59

to prevent such accidents years ago.

0:07:590:08:01

It is really ridiculous,

the amount of automation,

0:08:010:08:06

the capability that we have,

the fact they have not

0:08:060:08:09

implemented it yet,

for somebody like me,

0:08:090:08:10

who is an engineer,

it is just pathetic.

0:08:100:08:13

This is the latest in a series

of deadly rail accidents in the US.

0:08:130:08:17

President Trump says it

vindicates his call to improve

0:08:170:08:21

the nation's infrastructure,

but it is too early to say whether

0:08:210:08:24

that would have made a difference.

0:08:240:08:26

James Cook, BBC News, Los Angeles.

0:08:260:08:29

CBS News correspondent Kenneth Craig

is at the scene of the crash

0:08:290:08:32

in Washington state.

0:08:320:08:37

How much concern was that about the

stretch of line, it was new, wasn't

0:08:370:08:41

it, for passengers?

Well, there was

some concern, not over a possible

0:08:410:08:48

derailment, this stretch of railway

did undergo pretty serious

0:08:480:08:52

improvements before this started,

but there were concerns from local

0:08:520:08:59

leaders about the possibility and

potential for a high-speed train

0:08:590:09:02

posing a risk for motorists and

drivers. Live look at the situation

0:09:020:09:08

this morning, this is what we are

seeing, very active, ongoing, major

0:09:080:09:14

scene this morning along the

interstate, you can see the roadway

0:09:140:09:17

still shut down this morning. Almost

24 hours after this unfolded.

0:09:170:09:23

Investigators and crews have been

working through the night to try to

0:09:230:09:26

piece together what happened and

systematically going through the

0:09:260:09:31

wreckage and the railcars and moving

them out of the way so they can

0:09:310:09:34

reopen the road and continue

investigations.

Kenneth Craig live

0:09:340:09:40

from the scene, thank you.

0:09:400:09:44

There are fears for the jobs of more

than 3,000 people in the UK who work

0:09:440:09:47

for the retailer Toys R Us.

0:09:470:09:49

The company's future is uncertain

after it was told it had to put

0:09:490:09:52

£9 million into its struggling

pension fund by

0:09:520:09:54

the end of this week.

0:09:540:09:55

The Pension Protection Fund says

Toys R Us has to cover the blackhole

0:09:550:09:58

before a restructuring plan

can go ahead.

0:09:580:10:00

Our business correspondent,

Simon Gompertz, is here.

0:10:000:10:04

What is the situation now? Toys R Us

and the Pension Protection Fund, the

0:10:040:10:11

lifeboat scheme for pension schemes

in danger in this country, they are

0:10:110:10:16

locked in talks this afternoon to

try to reconcile the differences

0:10:160:10:20

between the business with 3200

employees and the pension scheme.

0:10:200:10:23

There is a difference between Toys R

Us is struggling in the face of

0:10:230:10:29

competition from the internet,

trying to do a deal with creditors

0:10:290:10:32

under which it does not have to pay

them so much and it can carry on

0:10:320:10:36

with fewer stores, they will close

some of them, make 800 people lose

0:10:360:10:41

their jobs, that would happen in any

case, but they need to support not

0:10:410:10:47

only of creditors but the Pension

Protection Fund. The Pension

0:10:470:10:53

Protection Fund is representing 600

members of the pension scheme, many

0:10:530:10:56

of those do not work for Toys R Us

anymore and they want £9 million to

0:10:560:11:02

partly plug the £30 million gap in

the pension scheme. It is basically

0:11:020:11:09

three years contributions paid in

advance. They are talking about it

0:11:090:11:13

now. I understand the Pension

Protection Fund has indicated it

0:11:130:11:16

will vote against the rescue plan,

putting the future of the company in

0:11:160:11:20

jeopardy. However, the company

itself, Toys R Us, are saying it is

0:11:200:11:26

trading fine through Christmas and

the New Year, gift cards are valid,

0:11:260:11:30

it is fine.

Thank you.

0:11:300:11:33

A BBC investigation has uncovered

failings in the provision of health

0:11:330:11:35

care at Liverpool Prison.

0:11:350:11:36

Whistleblowers have revealed that

inmates have died and others have

0:11:360:11:39

been seriously injured as a result.

0:11:390:11:40

The incidents occurred

after inspectors visited the jail.

0:11:400:11:42

The health trust

involved has apologised.

0:11:420:11:45

Our social affairs correspondent,

Michael Buchanan, reports.

0:11:450:11:51

Liverpool Prison is arguably

England's's worst jail.

What are you

0:11:510:11:55

doing?

It is squalid, violent and

riddled with drugs. Staff and

0:11:550:12:01

prisoners have been let down by a

failing regime. Annette lost her

0:12:010:12:07

grandson, Ashley, through failures

at Liverpool Prison. She raised him

0:12:070:12:10

as her own and heard his growing

concerns with the jail. In April,

0:12:100:12:16

2015, he died. The prison had

repeatedly failed to give the

0:12:160:12:20

25-year-old that asthma medicine he

desperately needed.

He was not

0:12:200:12:24

getting any support for his health.

He kept on and on, wrote letters to

0:12:240:12:29

the doctor, begging them to get his

prescription that he needed. But

0:12:290:12:34

they did not decide to order that

prescription until the day he died.

0:12:340:12:39

Years later, the problems persist.

In September, inspectors carried out

0:12:390:12:44

an unannounced visit. We have seen

the unpublished report, it says,

0:12:440:12:48

there is a lack of support for

people with mental health needs and

0:12:480:12:53

inpatients have an impoverished

regime. Within days, an inmate

0:12:530:12:56

killed himself in the health care

unit. Less than three weeks later,

0:12:560:13:01

another prisoner died by suicide.

Staff told us the prison at the

0:13:010:13:06

moment is so risky. A month later, a

third death. Medics informed us the

0:13:060:13:11

seriously young man had died after

waiting nearly 17 hours to see the

0:13:110:13:15

prison GP. Health care at the prison

is run by Lancashire Care NHS

0:13:150:13:21

Foundation Trust. They say services

are improving and medical director

0:13:210:13:25

admitted to me they had made

mistakes.

Brought in new staff, we

0:13:250:13:32

have considerably improved access to

GPs in the prison. We have made

0:13:320:13:36

improvements. But not at the pace

and had the level we would have

0:13:360:13:41

liked.

Inspectors have described

living conditions at Liverpool as

0:13:410:13:45

the worst they have ever seen, rats

and cockroaches are rife, blocked

0:13:450:13:49

toilets

0:13:490:13:53

and cockroaches are rife, blocked

toilets. Ministers say improvements

0:13:530:13:55

are under way but such promises have

been made before so staff and the

0:13:550:14:00

1100 inmates will want to see

concrete changes before the jail

0:14:000:14:05

loses its appalling reputation.

Our top story this lunchtime...

0:14:120:14:14

Counter terrorism police have made

a number of arrests in Derbyshire

0:14:140:14:17

and Yorkshire as they try to foil

a suspected Islamist terror plot.

0:14:170:14:20

And coming up, tackling

online hate crime.

0:14:200:14:22

Social media sites are criticised

by MPs for not doing enough.

0:14:220:14:27

Coming up in sport:

West Ham's Manuel Lanzini will find

0:14:270:14:29

out later if he can face Arsenal

in the Carabao Cup after

0:14:290:14:32

he was charged for diving.

0:14:320:14:36

It has cost more than

£3 billion to build -

0:14:450:14:48

it's the Royal Navy's biggest

and most expensive ship.

0:14:480:14:51

And now it has emerged that HMS

Queen Elizabeth is leaking.

0:14:510:14:55

The aircraft carrier

was commissioned by the Queen

0:14:550:14:57

less than two weeks ago.

0:14:570:14:59

But during sea trials,

she began taking on 200

0:14:590:15:01

litres of water an hour

because of a faulty seal.

0:15:010:15:06

Our Defence Correspondent

Jonathan Beale reports.

0:15:060:15:12

This morning the Royal Navy's

newest, largest and most expensive

0:15:120:15:16

warship was tied up at Portsmouth,

undergoing what looks like repairs

0:15:160:15:21

around her stern. A diving suit

hanging up suggesting they have

0:15:210:15:25

already been investigating the

problem. They found a leak around

0:15:250:15:28

the seal of one of the massive

propeller shafts. Taking on around

0:15:280:15:34

200 litres of sea water every hour.

This morning, the Defence Secretary

0:15:340:15:38

was insistent it is not as serious

or expensive.

She is in Portsmouth

0:15:380:15:46

having repairs that are needed. This

is the whole name of the sea trials

0:15:460:15:50

to make sure we look at the problems

that occur -- the whole game. It

0:15:500:15:57

will not cost the British taxpayer

any money. She will be out in the

0:15:570:16:01

New Year continuing sea trials.

A

true flagship for the 21st

0:16:010:16:05

century...

It is still embarrassing

for the Royal Navy, less than two

0:16:050:16:10

weeks ago, amid fanfare, the Queen

commissioned her into service. At

0:16:100:16:13

the time, no mention of any fault as

the £3 billion ship was handed over

0:16:130:16:19

to the Navy. The leak was discovered

earlier this year while she was

0:16:190:16:24

undergoing sea trials. It is now on

a list of repairs that still need to

0:16:240:16:27

be rectified. The MoD insists the

contractors will be carrying out and

0:16:270:16:33

paying for the work. The question

now is how easy will this repair be?

0:16:330:16:38

Can she be fixed while still in the

water? Will she have to be returned

0:16:380:16:44

to a dry doc, potentially delaying

the programme?

It depends where the

0:16:440:16:48

seal is, if it is at the ship and,

if you like, of the shaft, not

0:16:480:16:53

expensive, they can do that while

the ship is in the water. If it is

0:16:530:16:57

at the wet end, towards the cost of

this has almost doubled.

It has been

0:16:570:17:13

a bumpy ride for the new jets that

will eventually fly off her. The 35.

0:17:130:17:20

Today MPs accused the MoD of

repeatedly failing to answer their

0:17:200:17:23

questions about the costs of that

programme. This whole project has

0:17:230:17:31

been complex and expensive and all

the challenges have not been

0:17:310:17:35

overcome.

0:17:350:17:37

Our correspondent Robert

Hall is in Portsmouth.

0:17:370:17:40

The Defence Secretary says it's not

a serious problem but all the same

0:17:400:17:45

it's pretty embarrassing isn't it?

Yes, there is no doubt these are

0:17:450:17:49

headlines the navy would rather not

have seen, particularly after the

0:17:490:17:53

high profile commissioner ceremony

that you saw in Jonathan's report.

0:17:530:17:55

But they can't afford to be

distracted from the task in hand, if

0:17:550:17:59

you have built a house, you know the

snagging process that you go through

0:17:590:18:04

with the builders, you can imagine

what the snagging process with the

0:18:040:18:07

giant behind me there, everything

from tiny things like light bulbs to

0:18:070:18:11

major issues like the one we have

talked about today. As far as that

0:18:110:18:15

is concerned, there isn't any

indication at present down here that

0:18:150:18:17

the ship would have to leave to go

to dry dock. It's being assessed.

0:18:170:18:22

They'll have to make that area safe

and watertight before they can begin

0:18:220:18:26

work on the seal itself which we are

told is a job that should, should

0:18:260:18:31

take a couple of days, but obviously

Which? We don't know what unforeseen

0:18:310:18:35

circumstances there'll be. It's very

important they stick to the

0:18:350:18:38

timetable. Again we are expecting

the Queen Elizabeth to head off for

0:18:380:18:42

sea trials in the first four to six

weeks of next year. That in itself

0:18:420:18:46

is part of a more elaborate

timetable which again, as Jonathan

0:18:460:18:51

indicated, includes the carrier

being joined by its aircraft at the

0:18:510:18:55

back end offer in year. Then begins

another major work-up to get the

0:18:550:19:00

Queen Elizabeth operational. So it's

quite important that they get over

0:19:000:19:03

this snagging, get on with it as

quickly as possible.

Robert Hall in

0:19:030:19:08

Portsmouth, thank you.

0:19:080:19:09

Senior executives from Facebook,

Twitter and Google have been giving

0:19:090:19:12

evidence to MPs about tackling

the growing rise

0:19:120:19:15

in online hate crime.

0:19:150:19:17

The social media companies

are being urged to introduce tougher

0:19:170:19:21

safeguards, with some people calling

for fines to be imposed

0:19:210:19:23

if they don't act fast enough

to remove offensive material.

0:19:230:19:26

Our Media Editor Amol Rajan is here.

0:19:260:19:32

So they've been questioned about

this in the Commons. What's been

0:19:320:19:34

said?

The chair of the Home Affairs

Select Committee was full of robust

0:19:340:19:38

questions today because I think a

lot of MPs feel that it's not just

0:19:380:19:42

members of the public receiving

horrendous abuse but MPs in

0:19:420:19:47

particular. We know about people

like Anna Soubry and Stella Creasy

0:19:470:19:52

who've received abuse. Tim Loughton,

the former Children's Minister, the

0:19:520:19:55

Tory MP, was describing the fact

that it's very, very easy, if you

0:19:550:20:00

look online, Twitter or Facebook, to

find vile, vile threats to MP

0:20:000:20:04

security. The main thrust of what

they were saying today is that it

0:20:040:20:07

shouldn't just be MPs complaining

about this and having their

0:20:070:20:11

responses taken seriously, it should

be members of the public too. The

0:20:110:20:15

MPs are joining forces with the

public saying it's a serious problem

0:20:150:20:19

and could end up degrading our

democracy.

Pressure on the companies

0:20:190:20:22

to do something about hate crime,

but what can they do?

Most people

0:20:220:20:25

agree what abuse i content is.

Everyone agrees there is too much of

0:20:250:20:29

it. But no-one agrees what you

should do about it. The first have

0:20:290:20:34

been a matter of principle. The

companies they it's not their

0:20:340:20:39

responsibility to vet material

before it goes online. There are

0:20:390:20:42

platforms that allows everyone to

put their stuff online and they rely

0:20:420:20:45

on a community to police that

content so they say that is the

0:20:450:20:49

principle of the open web. The

second issue is a practical one. The

0:20:490:20:54

sheer content of volume, 400 hours

going on YouTube every single minute

0:20:540:20:59

means it's impossible to police

completely. Facebook has doubled the

0:20:590:21:05

number of human moderate overs

looking at this, but I feel there is

0:21:050:21:09

a tacit admission that this is a war

without end and it would be solved

0:21:090:21:14

not by human beings but by

computers.

0:21:140:21:19

Online pornography, sexting and how

to stay safe online; they're

0:21:190:21:22

are all topics that could soon be

covered by sex education

0:21:220:21:24

classes in English schools.

0:21:240:21:26

The government is asking parents,

teachers and young people

0:21:260:21:29

for their opinions on what should be

included in new guidelines.

0:21:290:21:32

It's the first time they've been

updated in 17 years.

0:21:320:21:34

Here's our correspondent

Richard Galpin.

0:21:340:21:38

What's different about what's the

same...

The guideline force teaching

0:21:380:21:42

school children about relationships

and sex have not changed since the

0:21:420:21:45

turn of the century. And with

lessons like this to be made

0:21:450:21:51

compulsory in all England's schools,

an update is urgently needed,

0:21:510:21:55

particularly given how much time

many children now spend online.

0:21:550:21:59

Here, there are new risks like

sexting, when explicit images of

0:21:590:22:04

children are Poled via messaging

apps. And there's cyber bullying and

0:22:040:22:09

the availability online of hard core

pornography.

Often young people

0:22:090:22:15

don't necessarily know what's

inappropriate in terms of behaviour

0:22:150:22:19

and materials versus what is

appropriate. They're confronted by

0:22:190:22:22

so much stuff these days on the

Internet. Then they often don't know

0:22:220:22:25

what is illegal versus what is legal

in terms of what they themselves are

0:22:250:22:30

doing, so it really is time that we

now update this guidance.

The

0:22:300:22:36

Government now wants pupils,

teachers and parents all to suggest

0:22:360:22:41

how sex and relationship education

could be updated to make it more

0:22:410:22:45

relevant. Hafisa who is now at

university and Toby who is in sixth

0:22:450:22:53

form told me just how important it's

become to have a more modern

0:22:530:22:56

approach to sex and relationships

education.

When I was at school, we

0:22:560:23:00

got a really basic education so we

sort of learned this is a penis,

0:23:000:23:04

this is a vagina, this is a condom,

here is how pregnancy looks. These

0:23:040:23:09

are STDs. But we weren't really

taught much about consent, LGBT

0:23:090:23:16

issues or what it means to be LGBT.

According to Koby, many boys' views

0:23:160:23:22

of sex are shaped from a young age

by watching pornography on the

0:23:220:23:25

Internet.

12 or 13, young boys

looking at pornography online which

0:23:250:23:31

is degrading to women, sexism and

misogynistic. They look at these and

0:23:310:23:36

they think that they expect girls to

do things behind closed doors. It's

0:23:360:23:41

just not like that and there are

incidences of coercion and the way

0:23:410:23:44

they talk about girls openly in the

classroom is very sort of degrading

0:23:440:23:48

towards women and girls. It's not

right that that should be happening

0:23:480:23:51

in the classroom.

Sexual harassment

and assaults in schools are a major

0:23:510:23:57

issue. The hope now is that by

broadening what's taught in sex

0:23:570:24:02

education classes will help young

people learn the importance of

0:24:020:24:07

healthy, stable relationships.

0:24:070:24:19

Dramatic footage has been released

showing a baby being rescued from a

0:24:190:24:25

blaze. Many of the 200 guests at the

hotel have returned home. Others

0:24:250:24:31

have been transferred to nearby

lodges.

0:24:310:24:35

The world 100 metre champion

Justin Gatlin says he's "shocked

0:24:350:24:38

and surprised" at doping allegations

made against his coach

0:24:380:24:41

and an athletics agent.

0:24:410:24:43

Anti-doping officials

are investigating after

0:24:430:24:46

the Daily Telegraph said the agent

Robert Wagner offered to "supply

0:24:460:24:49

performance-enhancing drugs",

to undercover reporters

0:24:490:24:53

and insinuated that Gatlin

himself was taking them.

0:24:530:24:55

Both men deny the allegations.

0:24:550:24:57

Our Sports Correspondent

Natalie Pirks reports.

0:24:570:24:58

Four months ago, he stunned

the world beating Usain Bolt to

0:24:580:25:01

become the 100 metre world champion.

0:25:010:25:03

Gatlin wins it...

0:25:030:25:04

But Justin Gatlin is ending

a brilliant year under

0:25:040:25:09

a cloud of suspicion.

0:25:090:25:11

It stems from a video

of undercover reporters

0:25:110:25:14

from The Telegraph

newspaper at Gatlin's

0:25:140:25:18

Florida training camp.

0:25:180:25:22

The paper claims Gatlin's coach

and an athletics agent Robert Wagner

0:25:220:25:25

offered to supply and administer

PED, performance enhancing drugs,

0:25:250:25:29

for an actor training for a film.

0:25:290:25:31

The video apparently shows

Wagner insinuating Gatlin

0:25:310:25:33

is taking banned substances.

0:25:330:25:36

Justin's going to do it,

just like every other

0:25:380:25:40

sprinter in America.

0:25:400:25:42

I have to do it...

0:25:420:25:43

Wagner and Gatlin deny the claims.

0:25:430:25:44

The 35-year-old's legal

representatives added the sprinter

0:25:440:25:48

had more than five years official

drugs tests to show he'd

0:25:480:25:51

never tested positive

for any banned substance.

0:25:510:25:55

Gatlin himself released

this statement earlier.

0:25:550:26:03

I'm not

using and have not used PEDs.

0:26:030:26:04

I was shocked and surprised to learn

that my coach would have anything

0:26:040:26:08

to do with even the appearance

of these current accusations.

0:26:080:26:10

I fired him as soon

as I found out about this.

0:26:100:26:13

The fired coach is Dennis Mitchell

seen here in the green T-shirt.

0:26:130:26:16

He allegedly said athletes are able

to get away with doping

0:26:160:26:19

because the drugs they use cannot be

detected by tests.

0:26:190:26:23

Mitchell, a former Olympic medallist

with a checkered past involving

0:26:230:26:31

banned substances, denies he ever

suggested that any of his current

0:26:310:26:33

athletes used any drugs.

0:26:330:26:34

But for those fighting

for fair sport, it's

0:26:340:26:36

another blow to integrity.

0:26:360:26:39

We want sport to be credible.

0:26:390:26:43

We need to do a lot more

to try to improve the immediacy

0:26:430:26:47

of the sanctioning system in order

that we are actually making sure

0:26:470:26:51

that what people see

they can believe in.

0:26:510:26:54

The US Anti-Doping Agency said it's

only fair to let due process occur

0:26:540:26:59

before jumping to any conclusions,

but after serving two

0:26:590:27:04

drugs bans in the past,

Gatlin is rarely afforded

0:27:040:27:07

the benefit of the doubt.

0:27:070:27:09

Natalie Pirks, BBC News.

0:27:090:27:13

Dame Judi Dench - she's one

of Britain's most famous actresses -

0:27:130:27:16

a woman with a passion

for Shakespeare who has spent 60

0:27:160:27:18

years on stage and screen.

0:27:180:27:20

But now at the age of 83

she's indulging another

0:27:200:27:23

more unlikely passion.

0:27:230:27:25

Trees.

0:27:250:27:26

As our correspondent

Helen Briggs reports.

0:27:260:27:30

Trees in their winter glory,

but they're more than just

0:27:300:27:35

beautiful, as Dame Judi Dench

learned in a new BBC documentary,

0:27:350:27:40

they're an allie in the fight

against climate change.

0:27:400:27:44

I'm told that all those leaves

are helping the tree to breathe

0:27:440:27:50

in more carbon dioxide which it

will then use to grow more branches.

0:27:500:27:53

It's not just about planting more

trees, it's about the right trees

0:27:530:27:58

in the right places.

0:27:580:28:01

These giant trees are very,

very important for drawing

0:28:010:28:04

down carbon dioxide.

0:28:040:28:07

In addition, in cities,

a high density of trees is really

0:28:070:28:09

important for removing particular

matter from the air and when you've

0:28:090:28:13

got denser trees, you have less

instance of the respiratory problems

0:28:130:28:17

associateded with pollution.

0:28:170:28:18

This NASA map shows how growing

trees soak up carbon dioxide

0:28:180:28:23

in the northern hemisphere summer.

0:28:230:28:26

Every year, the trees here at Kew

take up tonnes of carbon

0:28:260:28:32

dioxide from the air,

but they're not just carbon capture

0:28:320:28:35

machines, they're a living

laboratory for scientists.

0:28:350:28:39

And we are constantly learning

new things about them.

0:28:390:28:41

Every now and again a little blip.

0:28:410:28:45

Like a popping sound?

0:28:450:28:46

Yes.

0:28:460:28:48

So that little popping sound

is the sound of the water travelling

0:28:480:28:54

up from the roots all the way

through the thousands of tiny little

0:28:540:28:59

tubes called xylem tubes

just behind the bark.

0:28:590:29:04

Kew has thousands of

rare, exotic trees.

0:29:040:29:11

The man who looks after them says

there's no end to their uses.

0:29:110:29:17

Trees give us everything that we use

today, so they give us

0:29:170:29:20

the oxygen we breathe,

they use our carbon

0:29:200:29:22

dioxide to produce that.

0:29:220:29:23

They're good for reducing the amount

of run-off and preventing erosion,

0:29:230:29:27

they're the best air conditioners,

they clean pollutants

0:29:270:29:31

out of the atmosphere.

0:29:310:29:34

They're good for our well-being

and they're aesthetically beautiful.

0:29:340:29:37

You know, that is so important today

and becoming more and more relevant.

0:29:370:29:41

Scientists say trees have a big role

to play in pollution control,

0:29:410:29:47

but will only get the benefits

if we plant the right trees

0:29:470:29:51

in the right places.

0:29:510:29:53

Helen Briggs, BBC News.

0:29:530:29:55

You can see that tomorrow on BBC One

at 8.

0:30:040:30:08

Time for a look at the weather.

0:30:080:30:10

Here's Tomasz Schafernaker.

0:30:100:30:11

Less than a week until Christmas,

are you going to give us a white

0:30:110:30:16

Christmas or not? Honestly.

0:30:160:30:17

are you going to give us a white

Christmas or not? Honestly. I can

0:30:170:30:19

give you a white Christmas with fake

snow. Doesn't look like it at the

0:30:190:30:23

moment. I don't want the snow to

make my life really difficult and

0:30:230:30:27

I'm working over Christmas. Many of

you probably want that festive snow.

0:30:270:30:31

At the moment, doesn't look like

it's heading our way. It will be the

0:30:310:30:35

opposite, probably rain and mild. We

have had wintry scenes this morning,

0:30:350:30:39

some mist and freezing fog. Really

slip pill this morning. Minus four

0:30:390:30:49

in Bournemouth, 15 degrees in

Scotland.

0:30:490:30:58

-- -- slippy this morning.

Temperatures in Scotland up to 14 or

0:30:580:31:01

15. To the south, it's a totally

different story, cloudy and gloomy

0:31:010:31:07

in some areas. Also a bit of

sunshine. This is 3 o'clock. On the

0:31:070:31:12

south coast, brightness. Eight

degrees in Bournemouth after the

0:31:120:31:16

chilly start.

0:31:160:31:18

Tonight, the weather is going to be

slightly different. It will be a

0:31:230:31:26

very mild night. We are not

expecting any frost. Temperatures in

0:31:260:31:30

England an Wales will be plus five.

In Glasgow and Belfast, double

0:31:300:31:33

figures. Here a weather front is

moving through bringing cloud and

0:31:330:31:39

drizzle. This is the jet stream and

look what it's doing at the moment.

0:31:390:31:44

It's pushing in this tunnel of mild

air. Right up to Lapland into

0:31:440:31:51

Finland there. This weather pattern

is not expected to change an awful

0:31:510:31:55

lot in the run-up to Christmas.

Tomorrow, along with the mild tunnel

0:31:550:31:59

of air, there is also a weather

front. A bit of drizzle around in

0:31:590:32:04

Lancashire northern parts of Wales.

Scotland will have a brighter cooler

0:32:040:32:08

day and, in the south, 11 degrees in

Cardiff and London. That is midweek.

0:32:080:32:14

How about Thursday - not much

change. Remember that big weather

0:32:140:32:18

pattern with the jet stream pushing

the wilder weather our way isn't

0:32:180:32:21

moving. We have got double figure

temperatures across the south and

0:32:210:32:25

around about five degrees a little

bit fresher in Scotland. This is the

0:32:250:32:29

weather map. You can see high

pressure to the south of the UK, low

0:32:290:32:33

pressure and weather fronts out

there in the Atlantic and you can

0:32:330:32:35

see how the wind is flowing, coming

in from the southern climes and

0:32:350:32:39

moving in our direction, hence that

milder air. Let us summarise the

0:32:390:32:44

run-up to Christmas then - not

everybody's going to like it.

0:32:440:32:50

Staying mild, often cloudy and rain

in the north. That's it. No snow is

0:32:500:32:55

the bottom line. Wet and mild. Thank

you. A reminder of our main story

0:32:550:33:00

this lunch time: Counter-Terrorism

police have made a number of arrests

0:33:000:33:04

in Derbyshire and Yorkshire as they
