it's determined to see | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
a more diverse judiciary. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
A train that came off

A bomb disposal unit has been
deployed in Derbyshire | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
as counterterrorist police made
a number of arrests to foil | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |

local residents have been moved
from their homes during this | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
on-going operation. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Our correspondent,
Danny Savage, is there. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:19 | |
This is Sheffield Wrote in
Chesterfield and early this morning | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
a 31-year-old man was arrested in
this area and this investigation | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
continued with a much wider area
being sealed off. You can see the | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
police tape, normally busy road,
very quiet at the moment, police | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
vehicles parked at the top. We
understand the bomb squad is working | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
at the moment on the street off to
the right. Quite a large area sealed | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
off at the moment. I would say a
square mile, perhaps even more, of | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
Chesterfield, on the edge of the
town. It is not the only arrest made | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
as part of this investigation this
morning. There were three other | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
arrests made just up the road in
Sheffield as well where four | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
addresses have been raided early
this morning. You can see pictures | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
from this morning of activity taking
place at various addresses in the | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
Sheffield area as this investigation
continues. What the north-east | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
counterterrorism unit have told us
is that this investigation is | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
Islamist related, all four men are
being questioned at a police station | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
in west Yorkshire, 31-year-old man
from here, three men aged 22, 36 and | 0:03:26 | 0:03:32 | |
41, from the Sheffield area, earlier
reports this morning of an explosion | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
in the Meersbrook area of Sheffield.
It wasn't, it was the police forcing | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
their way into one of these
addresses as part of the raid. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
Ongoing situation. This area still
sealed off in Chesterfield and | 0:03:46 | 0:03:51 | |
addresses being searched in
Sheffield. Thank you, Danny Savage | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
at the latest. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
The Justice Secretary say
he is determined to see a more | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
diverse judiciary but has ruled out
using targets to appoint more black | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
and minority ethnic judges
in England and Wales. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
It comes after a review
by the Labour MP, David Lammy, | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
which said the problem of racial
bias in the criminal justice | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
system was getting worse. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
Our legal correspondent,
Clive Coleman, reports. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
People from black and minority
ethnic backgrounds make up around | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
14% of the population. So it was
shocking in a review by the MP David | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
Lammy published in September which
found that people from these | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
backgrounds make up 25% of the
prison population and 41% of the | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
youth justice system. Of equal
concern, just 11% of magistrates and | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
7% of judges come from these
communities. There are many complex | 0:04:41 | 0:04:48 | |
reasons for the inequality, but
according to this former prisoner, | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
some are simple as communication. We
talk with our hands, something as | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
simple as that, it used to get
misconstrued as aggressive | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
behaviour, just something that
happens in my culture, we talk with | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
our hands a lot. To address the
inequality, the review made 35 | 0:05:04 | 0:05:10 | |
recommendations including allowing
low-level offenders to defer | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
prosecutions and opt for
rehabilitation programmes. Gathering | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
more data on the ethnicity and
religion of offenders and publishing | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
sentence remarks in the Crown Court
with online feedback on judges. The | 0:05:21 | 0:05:28 | |
Lammy Review confirmed an
uncomfortable truth, the criminal | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
justice system, here to serve and
treat us all equally, discriminates | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
against Iraq and minority ethnic
people. The Government's wholesale | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
acceptance of the spirit and most of
the letter of the report represents | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
a major attempt to right the wrong.
The real test will be whether we can | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
cut through what David Lammy rightly
identified as an enormous level of | 0:05:51 | 0:05:57 | |
mistrust among people, particularly
young people, in black and ethnic | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
minority communities towards the
criminal justice system. Mr Lambie | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
wanted change at the top, a national
target for a representative | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
judiciary by 2025 -- David Lammy.
But the Government has not agreed to | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
that. There are ethnic minority
lawyers applying to our judiciary, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
they are just not getting through.
Through the process. That is why I | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
was keen to set a target or a goal,
and ambition, that the system could | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
move towards. Today's government
response represents a step change in | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
the criminal justice system's
awareness of and response to race | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
discrimination. The hope is that
justice will become colour-blind. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:44 | |
Safety investigators
in the United States say a train | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
that plunged off the tracks,
onto a motorway, was travelling | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
at 80mph in a 30mph zone. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
Three people were killed,
and dozens more injured, | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
when the train travelling
from Seattle to Portland derailed | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
on a bend in the line. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:57 | |
Our correspondent,
James Cook, reports. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
Amtrak 501, emergency, emergency. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
We are on the ground. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
The conductor calling for help
from Amtrak train 501 had just | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
survived a deadly high-speed crash. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
Is everybody OK? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
I am still figuring that out. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
We've got cars everywhere,
down onto the highway. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
Passengers say the train
rocked and creaked as it | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
took a curve at speed,
and turmoil followed. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
I just grabbed onto the chair
in front of me for dear life. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:33 | |
My laptop went flying,
phone went flying. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
People were screaming. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:35 | |
It was crazy. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
The New Express was taking
a faster route from Seattle | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
to Portland for the first time. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:40 | |
The investigator in charge
has obtained a download | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
of the event data recorder
on the rear locomotive. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:48 | |
Preliminary indications
are that the train was travelling | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
at 80mph in a 30mph track. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:57 | |
Some experts say the rail industry
should have embraced technology | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
to prevent such accidents years ago. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
It is really ridiculous,
the amount of automation, | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
the capability that we have,
the fact they have not | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
implemented it yet,
for somebody like me, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
who is an engineer,
it is just pathetic. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
This is the latest in a series
of deadly rail accidents in the US. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
President Trump says it
vindicates his call to improve | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
the nation's infrastructure,
but it is too early to say whether | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
that would have made a difference. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
James Cook, BBC News, Los Angeles. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
CBS News correspondent Kenneth Craig
is at the scene of the crash | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
in Washington state. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
How much concern was that about the
stretch of line, it was new, wasn't | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
it, for passengers? Well, there was
some concern, not over a possible | 0:08:41 | 0:08:48 | |
derailment, this stretch of railway
did undergo pretty serious | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
improvements before this started,
but there were concerns from local | 0:08:52 | 0:08:59 | |
leaders about the possibility and
potential for a high-speed train | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
posing a risk for motorists and
drivers. Live look at the situation | 0:09:02 | 0:09:08 | |
this morning, this is what we are
seeing, very active, ongoing, major | 0:09:08 | 0:09:14 | |
scene this morning along the
interstate, you can see the roadway | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
still shut down this morning. Almost
24 hours after this unfolded. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
Investigators and crews have been
working through the night to try to | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
piece together what happened and
systematically going through the | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
wreckage and the railcars and moving
them out of the way so they can | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
reopen the road and continue
investigations. Kenneth Craig live | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
from the scene, thank you. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
There are fears for the jobs of more
than 3,000 people in the UK who work | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
for the retailer Toys R Us. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
The company's future is uncertain
after it was told it had to put | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
£9 million into its struggling
pension fund by | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
the end of this week. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
The Pension Protection Fund says
Toys R Us has to cover the blackhole | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
before a restructuring plan
can go ahead. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
Our business correspondent,
Simon Gompertz, is here. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
What is the situation now? Toys R Us
and the Pension Protection Fund, the | 0:10:04 | 0:10:11 | |
lifeboat scheme for pension schemes
in danger in this country, they are | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
locked in talks this afternoon to
try to reconcile the differences | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
between the business with 3200
employees and the pension scheme. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
There is a difference between Toys R
Us is struggling in the face of | 0:10:23 | 0:10:29 | |
competition from the internet,
trying to do a deal with creditors | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
under which it does not have to pay
them so much and it can carry on | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
with fewer stores, they will close
some of them, make 800 people lose | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
their jobs, that would happen in any
case, but they need to support not | 0:10:41 | 0:10:47 | |
only of creditors but the Pension
Protection Fund. The Pension | 0:10:47 | 0:10:53 | |
Protection Fund is representing 600
members of the pension scheme, many | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
of those do not work for Toys R Us
anymore and they want £9 million to | 0:10:56 | 0:11:02 | |
partly plug the £30 million gap in
the pension scheme. It is basically | 0:11:02 | 0:11:09 | |
three years contributions paid in
advance. They are talking about it | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
now. I understand the Pension
Protection Fund has indicated it | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
will vote against the rescue plan,
putting the future of the company in | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
jeopardy. However, the company
itself, Toys R Us, are saying it is | 0:11:20 | 0:11:26 | |
trading fine through Christmas and
the New Year, gift cards are valid, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
it is fine. Thank you. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
A BBC investigation has uncovered
failings in the provision of health | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
care at Liverpool Prison. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:36 | |
Whistleblowers have revealed that
inmates have died and others have | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
been seriously injured as a result. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
The incidents occurred
after inspectors visited the jail. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
The health trust
involved has apologised. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
Our social affairs correspondent,
Michael Buchanan, reports. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:51 | |
Liverpool Prison is arguably
England's's worst jail. What are you | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
doing? It is squalid, violent and
riddled with drugs. Staff and | 0:11:55 | 0:12:01 | |
prisoners have been let down by a
failing regime. Annette lost her | 0:12:01 | 0:12:07 | |
grandson, Ashley, through failures
at Liverpool Prison. She raised him | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
as her own and heard his growing
concerns with the jail. In April, | 0:12:10 | 0:12:16 | |
2015, he died. The prison had
repeatedly failed to give the | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
25-year-old that asthma medicine he
desperately needed. He was not | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
getting any support for his health.
He kept on and on, wrote letters to | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
the doctor, begging them to get his
prescription that he needed. But | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
they did not decide to order that
prescription until the day he died. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
Years later, the problems persist.
In September, inspectors carried out | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
an unannounced visit. We have seen
the unpublished report, it says, | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
there is a lack of support for
people with mental health needs and | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
inpatients have an impoverished
regime. Within days, an inmate | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
killed himself in the health care
unit. Less than three weeks later, | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
another prisoner died by suicide.
Staff told us the prison at the | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
moment is so risky. A month later, a
third death. Medics informed us the | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
seriously young man had died after
waiting nearly 17 hours to see the | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
prison GP. Health care at the prison
is run by Lancashire Care NHS | 0:13:15 | 0:13:21 | |
Foundation Trust. They say services
are improving and medical director | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
admitted to me they had made
mistakes. Brought in new staff, we | 0:13:25 | 0:13:32 | |
have considerably improved access to
GPs in the prison. We have made | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
improvements. But not at the pace
and had the level we would have | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
liked. Inspectors have described
living conditions at Liverpool as | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
the worst they have ever seen, rats
and cockroaches are rife, blocked | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
toilets | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
and cockroaches are rife, blocked
toilets. Ministers say improvements | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
are under way but such promises have
been made before so staff and the | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
1100 inmates will want to see
concrete changes before the jail | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
loses its appalling reputation.

Our top story this lunchtime... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
Counter terrorism police have made
a number of arrests in Derbyshire | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
and Yorkshire as they try to foil
a suspected Islamist terror plot. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
And coming up, tackling
online hate crime. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
Social media sites are criticised
by MPs for not doing enough. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
Coming up in sport:
West Ham's Manuel Lanzini will find | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
out later if he can face Arsenal
in the Carabao Cup after | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
he was charged for diving. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
It has cost more than
£3 billion to build - | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
it's the Royal Navy's biggest
and most expensive ship. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
And now it has emerged that HMS
Queen Elizabeth is leaking. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
The aircraft carrier
was commissioned by the Queen | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
less than two weeks ago. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
But during sea trials,
she began taking on 200 | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
litres of water an hour
because of a faulty seal. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
Our Defence Correspondent
Jonathan Beale reports. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:12 | |
This morning the Royal Navy's
newest, largest and most expensive | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
warship was tied up at Portsmouth,
undergoing what looks like repairs | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
around her stern. A diving suit
hanging up suggesting they have | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
already been investigating the
problem. They found a leak around | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
the seal of one of the massive
propeller shafts. Taking on around | 0:15:28 | 0:15:34 | |
200 litres of sea water every hour.
This morning, the Defence Secretary | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
was insistent it is not as serious
or expensive. She is in Portsmouth | 0:15:38 | 0:15:46 | |
having repairs that are needed. This
is the whole name of the sea trials | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
to make sure we look at the problems
that occur -- the whole game. It | 0:15:50 | 0:15:57 | |
will not cost the British taxpayer
any money. She will be out in the | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
New Year continuing sea trials. A
true flagship for the 21st | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
century... It is still embarrassing
for the Royal Navy, less than two | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
weeks ago, amid fanfare, the Queen
commissioned her into service. At | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
the time, no mention of any fault as
the £3 billion ship was handed over | 0:16:13 | 0:16:19 | |
to the Navy. The leak was discovered
earlier this year while she was | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
undergoing sea trials. It is now on
a list of repairs that still need to | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
be rectified. The MoD insists the
contractors will be carrying out and | 0:16:27 | 0:16:33 | |
paying for the work. The question
now is how easy will this repair be? | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
Can she be fixed while still in the
water? Will she have to be returned | 0:16:38 | 0:16:44 | |
to a dry doc, potentially delaying
the programme? It depends where the | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
seal is, if it is at the ship and,
if you like, of the shaft, not | 0:16:48 | 0:16:53 | |
expensive, they can do that while
the ship is in the water. If it is | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
at the wet end, towards the cost of
this has almost doubled. It has been | 0:16:57 | 0:17:13 | |
a bumpy ride for the new jets that
will eventually fly off her. The 35. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:20 | |
Today MPs accused the MoD of
repeatedly failing to answer their | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
questions about the costs of that
programme. This whole project has | 0:17:23 | 0:17:31 | |
been complex and expensive and all
the challenges have not been | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
overcome. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
Our correspondent Robert
Hall is in Portsmouth. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
The Defence Secretary says it's not
a serious problem but all the same | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
it's pretty embarrassing isn't it?
Yes, there is no doubt these are | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
headlines the navy would rather not
have seen, particularly after the | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
high profile commissioner ceremony
that you saw in Jonathan's report. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
But they can't afford to be
distracted from the task in hand, if | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
you have built a house, you know the
snagging process that you go through | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
with the builders, you can imagine
what the snagging process with the | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
giant behind me there, everything
from tiny things like light bulbs to | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
major issues like the one we have
talked about today. As far as that | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
is concerned, there isn't any
indication at present down here that | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
the ship would have to leave to go
to dry dock. It's being assessed. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
They'll have to make that area safe
and watertight before they can begin | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
work on the seal itself which we are
told is a job that should, should | 0:18:26 | 0:18:31 | |
take a couple of days, but obviously
Which? We don't know what unforeseen | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
circumstances there'll be. It's very
important they stick to the | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
timetable. Again we are expecting
the Queen Elizabeth to head off for | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
sea trials in the first four to six
weeks of next year. That in itself | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
is part of a more elaborate
timetable which again, as Jonathan | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
indicated, includes the carrier
being joined by its aircraft at the | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
back end offer in year. Then begins
another major work-up to get the | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
Queen Elizabeth operational. So it's
quite important that they get over | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
this snagging, get on with it as
quickly as possible. Robert Hall in | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
Portsmouth, thank you. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
Senior executives from Facebook,
Twitter and Google have been giving | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
evidence to MPs about tackling
the growing rise | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
in online hate crime. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
The social media companies
are being urged to introduce tougher | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
safeguards, with some people calling
for fines to be imposed | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
if they don't act fast enough
to remove offensive material. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Our Media Editor Amol Rajan is here. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:32 | |
So they've been questioned about
this in the Commons. What's been | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
said? The chair of the Home Affairs
Select Committee was full of robust | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
questions today because I think a
lot of MPs feel that it's not just | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
members of the public receiving
horrendous abuse but MPs in | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
particular. We know about people
like Anna Soubry and Stella Creasy | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
who've received abuse. Tim Loughton,
the former Children's Minister, the | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
Tory MP, was describing the fact
that it's very, very easy, if you | 0:19:55 | 0:20:00 | |
look online, Twitter or Facebook, to
find vile, vile threats to MP | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
security. The main thrust of what
they were saying today is that it | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
shouldn't just be MPs complaining
about this and having their | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
responses taken seriously, it should
be members of the public too. The | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
MPs are joining forces with the
public saying it's a serious problem | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
and could end up degrading our
democracy. Pressure on the companies | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
to do something about hate crime,
but what can they do? Most people | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
agree what abuse i content is.
Everyone agrees there is too much of | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
it. But no-one agrees what you
should do about it. The first have | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
been a matter of principle. The
companies they it's not their | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
responsibility to vet material
before it goes online. There are | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
platforms that allows everyone to
put their stuff online and they rely | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
on a community to police that
content so they say that is the | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
principle of the open web. The
second issue is a practical one. The | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
sheer content of volume, 400 hours
going on YouTube every single minute | 0:20:54 | 0:20:59 | |
means it's impossible to police
completely. Facebook has doubled the | 0:20:59 | 0:21:05 | |
number of human moderate overs
looking at this, but I feel there is | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
a tacit admission that this is a war
without end and it would be solved | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
not by human beings but by
computers. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
Online pornography, sexting and how
to stay safe online; they're | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
are all topics that could soon be
covered by sex education | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
classes in English schools. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
The government is asking parents,
teachers and young people | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
for their opinions on what should be
included in new guidelines. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
It's the first time they've been
updated in 17 years. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
Here's our correspondent
Richard Galpin. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
What's different about what's the
same... The guideline force teaching | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
school children about relationships
and sex have not changed since the | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
turn of the century. And with
lessons like this to be made | 0:21:45 | 0:21:51 | |
compulsory in all England's schools,
an update is urgently needed, | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
particularly given how much time
many children now spend online. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
Here, there are new risks like
sexting, when explicit images of | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
children are Poled via messaging
apps. And there's cyber bullying and | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
the availability online of hard core
pornography. Often young people | 0:22:09 | 0:22:15 | |
don't necessarily know what's
inappropriate in terms of behaviour | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
and materials versus what is
appropriate. They're confronted by | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
so much stuff these days on the
Internet. Then they often don't know | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
what is illegal versus what is legal
in terms of what they themselves are | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
doing, so it really is time that we
now update this guidance. The | 0:22:30 | 0:22:36 | |
Government now wants pupils,
teachers and parents all to suggest | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
how sex and relationship education
could be updated to make it more | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
relevant. Hafisa who is now at
university and Toby who is in sixth | 0:22:45 | 0:22:53 | |
form told me just how important it's
become to have a more modern | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
approach to sex and relationships
education. When I was at school, we | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
got a really basic education so we
sort of learned this is a penis, | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
this is a vagina, this is a condom,
here is how pregnancy looks. These | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
are STDs. But we weren't really
taught much about consent, LGBT | 0:23:09 | 0:23:16 | |
issues or what it means to be LGBT.
According to Koby, many boys' views | 0:23:16 | 0:23:22 | |
of sex are shaped from a young age
by watching pornography on the | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
Internet. 12 or 13, young boys
looking at pornography online which | 0:23:25 | 0:23:31 | |
is degrading to women, sexism and
misogynistic. They look at these and | 0:23:31 | 0:23:36 | |
they think that they expect girls to
do things behind closed doors. It's | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
just not like that and there are
incidences of coercion and the way | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
they talk about girls openly in the
classroom is very sort of degrading | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
towards women and girls. It's not
right that that should be happening | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
in the classroom. Sexual harassment
and assaults in schools are a major | 0:23:51 | 0:23:57 | |
issue. The hope now is that by
broadening what's taught in sex | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
education classes will help young
people learn the importance of | 0:24:02 | 0:24:07 | |
healthy, stable relationships.

Dramatic footage has been released
showing a baby being rescued from a | 0:24:19 | 0:24:25 | |
blaze. Many of the 200 guests at the
hotel have returned home. Others | 0:24:25 | 0:24:31 | |
have been transferred to nearby
lodges. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
The world 100 metre champion
Justin Gatlin says he's "shocked | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
and surprised" at doping allegations
made against his coach | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
and an athletics agent. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
Anti-doping officials
are investigating after | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
the Daily Telegraph said the agent
Robert Wagner offered to "supply | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
performance-enhancing drugs",
to undercover reporters | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
and insinuated that Gatlin
himself was taking them. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Both men deny the allegations. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Our Sports Correspondent
Natalie Pirks reports. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:58 | |
Four months ago, he stunned
the world beating Usain Bolt to | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
become the 100 metre world champion. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Gatlin wins it... | 0:25:03 | 0:25:04 | |
But Justin Gatlin is ending
a brilliant year under | 0:25:04 | 0:25:09 | |
a cloud of suspicion. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
It stems from a video
of undercover reporters | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
from The Telegraph
newspaper at Gatlin's | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
Florida training camp. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
The paper claims Gatlin's coach
and an athletics agent Robert Wagner | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
offered to supply and administer
PED, performance enhancing drugs, | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
for an actor training for a film. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
The video apparently shows
Wagner insinuating Gatlin | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
is taking banned substances. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Justin's going to do it,
just like every other | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
sprinter in America. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
I have to do it... | 0:25:42 | 0:25:43 | |
Wagner and Gatlin deny the claims. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:44 | |
The 35-year-old's legal
representatives added the sprinter | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
had more than five years official
drugs tests to show he'd | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
never tested positive
for any banned substance. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
Gatlin himself released
this statement earlier. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:03 | |
I'm not
using and have not used PEDs. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:04 | |
I was shocked and surprised to learn
that my coach would have anything | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
to do with even the appearance
of these current accusations. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
I fired him as soon
as I found out about this. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
The fired coach is Dennis Mitchell
seen here in the green T-shirt. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
He allegedly said athletes are able
to get away with doping | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
because the drugs they use cannot be
detected by tests. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
Mitchell, a former Olympic medallist
with a checkered past involving | 0:26:23 | 0:26:31 | |
banned substances, denies he ever
suggested that any of his current | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
athletes used any drugs. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:34 | |
But for those fighting
for fair sport, it's | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
another blow to integrity. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
We want sport to be credible. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
We need to do a lot more
to try to improve the immediacy | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
of the sanctioning system in order
that we are actually making sure | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
that what people see
they can believe in. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
The US Anti-Doping Agency said it's
only fair to let due process occur | 0:26:54 | 0:26:59 | |
before jumping to any conclusions,
but after serving two | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
drugs bans in the past,
Gatlin is rarely afforded | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
the benefit of the doubt. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
Natalie Pirks, BBC News. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
Dame Judi Dench - she's one
of Britain's most famous actresses - | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
a woman with a passion
for Shakespeare who has spent 60 | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
years on stage and screen. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
But now at the age of 83
she's indulging another | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
more unlikely passion. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
Trees. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
As our correspondent
Helen Briggs reports. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
Trees in their winter glory,
but they're more than just | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
beautiful, as Dame Judi Dench
learned in a new BBC documentary, | 0:27:35 | 0:27:40 | |
they're an allie in the fight
against climate change. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
I'm told that all those leaves
are helping the tree to breathe | 0:27:44 | 0:27:50 | |
in more carbon dioxide which it
will then use to grow more branches. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
It's not just about planting more
trees, it's about the right trees | 0:27:53 | 0:27:58 | |
in the right places. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
These giant trees are very,
very important for drawing | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
down carbon dioxide. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
In addition, in cities,
a high density of trees is really | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
important for removing particular
matter from the air and when you've | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
got denser trees, you have less
instance of the respiratory problems | 0:28:13 | 0:28:17 | |
associateded with pollution. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 | |
This NASA map shows how growing
trees soak up carbon dioxide | 0:28:18 | 0:28:23 | |
in the northern hemisphere summer. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
Every year, the trees here at Kew
take up tonnes of carbon | 0:28:26 | 0:28:32 | |
dioxide from the air,
but they're not just carbon capture | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
machines, they're a living
laboratory for scientists. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:39 | |
And we are constantly learning
new things about them. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:41 | |
Every now and again a little blip. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
Like a popping sound? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:46 | |
Yes. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
So that little popping sound
is the sound of the water travelling | 0:28:48 | 0:28:54 | |
up from the roots all the way
through the thousands of tiny little | 0:28:54 | 0:28:59 | |
tubes called xylem tubes
just behind the bark. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:04 | |
Kew has thousands of
rare, exotic trees. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:11 | |
The man who looks after them says
there's no end to their uses. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:17 | |
Trees give us everything that we use
today, so they give us | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
the oxygen we breathe,
they use our carbon | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
dioxide to produce that. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:23 | |
They're good for reducing the amount
of run-off and preventing erosion, | 0:29:23 | 0:29:27 | |
they're the best air conditioners,
they clean pollutants | 0:29:27 | 0:29:31 | |
out of the atmosphere. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
They're good for our well-being
and they're aesthetically beautiful. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
You know, that is so important today
and becoming more and more relevant. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
Scientists say trees have a big role
to play in pollution control, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:47 | |
but will only get the benefits
if we plant the right trees | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
in the right places. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |

Less than a week until Christmas,

are you going to give us a white
Christmas or not? Honestly. I can | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
give you a white Christmas with fake
snow. Doesn't look like it at the | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
moment. I don't want the snow to
make my life really difficult and | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
I'm working over Christmas. Many of
you probably want that festive snow. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
At the moment, doesn't look like
it's heading our way. It will be the | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
opposite, probably rain and mild. We
have had wintry scenes this morning, | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
some mist and freezing fog. Really
slip pill this morning. Minus four | 0:30:39 | 0:30:49 | |
in Bournemouth, 15 degrees in
Scotland. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:58 | |
-- -- slippy this morning.
Temperatures in Scotland up to 14 or | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
15. To the south, it's a totally
different story, cloudy and gloomy | 0:31:01 | 0:31:07 | |
in some areas. Also a bit of
sunshine. This is 3 o'clock. On the | 0:31:07 | 0:31:12 | |
south coast, brightness. Eight
degrees in Bournemouth after the | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
chilly start. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
Tonight, the weather is going to be
slightly different. It will be a | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
very mild night. We are not
expecting any frost. Temperatures in | 0:31:26 | 0:31:30 | |
England an Wales will be plus five.
In Glasgow and Belfast, double | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
figures. Here a weather front is
moving through bringing cloud and | 0:31:33 | 0:31:39 | |
drizzle. This is the jet stream and
look what it's doing at the moment. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:44 | |
It's pushing in this tunnel of mild
air. Right up to Lapland into | 0:31:44 | 0:31:51 | |
Finland there. This weather pattern
is not expected to change an awful | 0:31:51 | 0:31:55 | |
lot in the run-up to Christmas.
Tomorrow, along with the mild tunnel | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
of air, there is also a weather
front. A bit of drizzle around in | 0:31:59 | 0:32:04 | |
Lancashire northern parts of Wales.
Scotland will have a brighter cooler | 0:32:04 | 0:32:08 | |
day and, in the south, 11 degrees in
Cardiff and London. That is midweek. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:14 | |
How about Thursday - not much
change. Remember that big weather | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
pattern with the jet stream pushing
the wilder weather our way isn't | 0:32:18 | 0:32:21 | |
moving. We have got double figure
temperatures across the south and | 0:32:21 | 0:32:25 | |
around about five degrees a little
bit fresher in Scotland. This is the | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
weather map. You can see high
pressure to the south of the UK, low | 0:32:29 | 0:32:33 | |
pressure and weather fronts out
there in the Atlantic and you can | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
see how the wind is flowing, coming
in from the southern climes and | 0:32:35 | 0:32:39 | |
moving in our direction, hence that
milder air. Let us summarise the | 0:32:39 | 0:32:44 | |
run-up to Christmas then - not
everybody's going to like it. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:50 | |
Staying mild, often cloudy and rain
in the north. That's it. No snow is | 0:32:50 | 0:32:55 | |
the bottom line. Wet and mild. Thank
you. A reminder of our main story | 0:32:55 | 0:33:00 | |

police have made a number of arrests | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
