The UK pledges more than £40 million
more to help border | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
security at the Channel. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
It'll be spent on fencing,
CCTV and new technology in Calais | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
and other border points to deal
with the migrant problem. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
The money will be formally
agreed at a summit between | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
the Prime Minister and the French
president this afternoon. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
Britain will also agree
to take more migrants. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
Also this lunchtime: Trees down
blocking railway lines, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
after severe gales cause disruption
to much of the UK with | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
gusts of around 80mph. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
A wolf is on the loose in Berkshire
after the gales blew down a fence | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
at a local sanctuary. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
Police are hunting it, as children
are warned to stay inside. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Patient safety in A&E
units in Wales is being | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
"compromised to an unacceptable
degree" say doctors. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:54 | |
We've got patients in the department
where we don't have space to see | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
them, and then we are coming back
the next day and some of the | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
patients are still here. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
The new government childcare scheme
- nurseries are having to charge | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
parents for meals and nappies
because of a funding | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
shortfall says a survey. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:12 | |
And Woody Allen's adopted daughter
says she feels outrage after years | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
of being ignored over a sexual
assault allegation against him. He | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
has been lying for so long and it is
difficult for me to see him and to | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
hear his voice. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
And coming in the sport on BBC News:
Not a massive catastrophe - | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
the British number one,
Johanna Konta, is staying positive | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
despite a shock defeat
at the Australian Open. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:42 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
The UK is to increase its
contribution towards border controls | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
in France by £44.5 million,
and will also commit | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
to taking in more migrants. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
The money will be spent on fencing,
security cameras and body scanners | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
at Calais and other Channel ports. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
The deal will be announced
at a summit between Theresa May and | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
the French President, Emmanuel
Macron, at Sandhurst Military | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Academy this afternoon. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
Our Political Correspondent
Iain Watson reports. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:29 | |
This area near Calais was until
recently known as the Jungle, and | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
makeshift camp of economic migrants
and genuine refugees. It was cleared | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
by authorities in 2016 but it is
estimated around 700 migrants are | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
still in the area. Even before the
Brexit referendum the British | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
government paid an extra 20 million
euros to pay with policing costs and | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
today the Prime Minister will agree
to pay even more but some MPs are | 0:02:52 | 0:02:58 | |
wary. It is their problem as much as
it is ours and we should not keep | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
funding fronts every time they
demand more cash. This young | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
modernising European leader signed
an agreement in France in 2003, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
essentially moving British border
controls onto French soil. Before | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
becoming president, this young
modernising European politician | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
suggested scrapping the agreement if
Britain were to leave the EU. He has | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
changed his mind but at a price. The
British government will make £44.5 | 0:03:26 | 0:03:32 | |
million available to strengthen
security at the border with more | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
robust fencing, enhanced CCTV and
infrared detection technology. A | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
former Conservative leader says it
is money well spent. Securing our | 0:03:41 | 0:03:47 | |
borders has huge benefit to us,
sharing the burden with France is | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
already an established principle.
The extra 40 I am assured is about | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
improving that too much bigger
degree. The summit is not just about | 0:03:55 | 0:04:00 | |
immigration, may -- Theresa May will
help -- send troop carrying | 0:04:00 | 0:04:13 | |
helicopters to help France. The
elephant in the room will be | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
stomping around pretty loudly, with
France said to be taking a | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
potentially hard line on forthcoming
trade talks, then the personal | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
relationships between the British
Prime Minister and the French | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
president could prove vital. Macron
has a close relationship with Angela | 0:04:27 | 0:04:34 | |
Merkel and doesn't have that kind of
close friendship with mates. Most EU | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
leaders would rather have Theresa
May than some of the alternatives. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
It was cordial when they met in
France but now they will need to be | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
a closer relationship as trade talks
loom. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
In a moment we'll speak to our
Diplomatic Correspondent Paul Adams | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
in Calais, but first to Vicki Young,
who's at Sandhurst. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
How much is this all about looking
to the future, about a post-Brexit | 0:04:56 | 0:05:02 | |
world? All the talk so far has been
about practicalities, whether that | 0:05:02 | 0:05:09 | |
is more money in Calais to boost the
border security, whether it is | 0:05:09 | 0:05:15 | |
British help in Mali for French
troops there, whether it is the loan | 0:05:15 | 0:05:21 | |
of the Bayeux tapestry but there's
more to it than those | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
practicalities. Brexit might not be
talked about in advance of all of | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
this but of course that is the
backdrop. It's all about Britain and | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
its future relationships, how it
will have these bilateral | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
relationships with incredibly
important countries like France once | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
we are outside of the European Union
so that relationship between Theresa | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
May and Emmanuel Macron is
important. He has ambitious ideas | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
for what he wants to see in the
European Union but the relationship | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
with the UK will be crucial. It is
no coincidence we are at Sandhurst, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:57 | |
today there is a lot of emphasis on
the military. But of course it is | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
about trade and the economy, and
about Britain trying to show France | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
that it is not on a back foot
because of Brexit, that we still | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
have a lot to offer when it comes to
intelligence and security | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
cooperation, and you can expect to
hear a lot about that later on when | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
the leaders hold a press conference
here. Paul Adams in Calais, in | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
practical terms the French are often
more money for border controls and | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
also taking in more migrants,
specifically unaccompanied children? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:33 | |
Yes, on the money front, and this is
on top £150 million or so that's | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
already been spent in the last three
years, turning large parts of Calais | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
into a fortress. You could argue it
is a relatively modest additional | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
price, bearing in mind what Ian said
just now which is that at one point | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
Emmanuel Macron talked about
scrapping the agreement which would | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
have moved the migrant crisis over
the Channel onto the British side. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
It is likely this will continue to
be an issue. The people in Calais | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
feel they have paid a price -- high
price. On the unaccompanied minors, | 0:07:03 | 0:07:17 | |
this issue was incredibly sensitive
and close to the hearts of the | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
volunteers who work here among the
migrants. As many as five under 18s | 0:07:20 | 0:07:26 | |
have been killed in the last two
years trying to cross the Channel, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
and most if not all of those five
were in the laborious process of | 0:07:30 | 0:07:35 | |
trying to establish their right to
live in the UK. It is a difficult | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
legal process which takes time and
people, while they are waiting, | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
often become desperate. The
volunteer groups will be extremely | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
frustrated if they think the money
Britain is spending is only about | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
security and not about ensuring the
safety of some of the most | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
vulnerable migrants in the world.
Paul Adams in Calais thank you. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:10 | |
Severe gales have been causing
disruption across much of the UK | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
with gusts of around 80
miles per hour. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
Nearly 60,000 homes have lost
power in East Anglia | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
and south east England,
and there have been | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
reports of fallen trees
on or near roads in Lincolnshire, | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Norfolk and Gloucestershire. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:23 | |
Train lines in the East of England
have been blocked by fallen trees. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Damage to overhead electric wires
is causing problems for train | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
services in the Midlands. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:30 | |
Tom Burridge reports. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
Gales overnight, so plenty of
clearing up in large parts of the | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
country this morning. Here in
Surrey, trees halting trains between | 0:08:37 | 0:08:45 | |
Portsmouth and London. Trains also
going nowhere in Norwich. It was a | 0:08:45 | 0:08:55 | |
familiar problem. And imagine the
end section of your roof blown down | 0:08:55 | 0:09:02 | |
while you sleep. That's what
happened here in Coventry. Not an | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
explosion, just the force of the
wind, and family left with the | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
aftermath. It was scary at first,
frightening at first, we just wanted | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
to get everybody out of the house.
Now we can see the damage and nobody | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
is heard, it is upsetting it will
cost a lot. Seems like this in | 0:09:21 | 0:09:27 | |
London, familiar elsewhere. Winds of
more than 70 mph. Luckily no reports | 0:09:27 | 0:09:35 | |
so far that anyone was seriously
injured but people's property not so | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
lucky. I heard the window smash,
fully thought somebody was trying to | 0:09:38 | 0:09:44 | |
break into the house. I walked into
the living room and a Christmas tree | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
had been blown into my window and
broke it. Different weather, still | 0:09:48 | 0:09:56 | |
making travel difficult in the north
of England and Scotland. But | 0:09:56 | 0:10:02 | |
conditions today, milder and
sometimes stunning. On the 74 in | 0:10:02 | 0:10:08 | |
south Lanarkshire, a different story
from the chaos earlier in the week. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-- M74. The damage caused by the
gales further south is extensive. A | 0:10:12 | 0:10:20 | |
wolf like this after offence was
blown down at a sanctuary in | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
Berkshire. And this gives you the
idea of the power of the wind last | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
night in Suffolk. A play centre now
without much of its roof. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:37 | |
Hospital consultants in Wales
are warning that patient safety | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
in accident and emergency units
is being "compromised | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
to an unacceptable degree". | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
46 doctors - that's most
of the emergency medicine | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
consultants in Wales -
have signed a letter | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
to the First Minister, Carwyn Jones,
outlining their concerns. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
It comes as figures published this
morning show the lowest level of A&E | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
performance in Wales
since March 2016. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
Sian Lloyd reports. | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
Recess is full,
trolley bays are full. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
8:30am, and staff at this
hospital in Swansea discuss | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
the challenges ahead in A&E. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
Patient waiting time
targets are being missed | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
at emergency units across Wales,
and today more than three quarters | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
of all consultants in emergency
medicine here have written | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
to the First Minister,
warning that the system | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
is at breaking point. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
There is good evidence that
in a crowded emergency department | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
that patients have their treatment
delayed, and that can | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
make their illness more protracted. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
And ultimately it can make
people's lives be at risk. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
So, yes, people may die because of
the pressures we are facing. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
The latest monthly performance
figures show that in December 78.9% | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
of A&E patients in Wales were dealt
with within the four hour target. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:45 | |
A drop in performance
compared to the 80.4% | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
figure achieved last year. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
The target in Wales says that 95%
of patients should leave | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
the emergency department
in under four hours. | 0:11:54 | 0:12:00 | |
The Welsh government says that this
December was the busiest on record. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
It recognises the challenges faced
by staff and says it's invested | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
an extra £60 million to help people
working in emergency units like this | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
one deliver their services. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:17 | |
The challenge is, when those
spikes of unpredictable | 0:12:19 | 0:12:20 | |
pressure have come in,
we haven't had enough flex | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
within our system to cope with those
as quickly as we want to. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
So of course we have to learn,
and I take responsibility. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
Hospitals have been
coming up with new ways | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
of dealing with busy times. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
And in Swansea, it's all hands
on deck to reduce delays. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
Are you being looked after? | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
Donna Day has swapped her office job
with the health board | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
to help out on the wards. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
The tasks she can carry out
will free up nurses' time. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
They are so rushed off their feet. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:49 | |
I've noticed that it's just nice
to spend time with patients. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
Sometimes just sitting
there and holding hands | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
with the patient is good for them
and good for us. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
There are still ambulances waiting
outside the hospital, | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
but the scheme is seeing results. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
People are being moved
through the emergency | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
unit here more quickly. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
But challenges remain, with a spike
in the number of flu cases, | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
the medical team fear that things
will get worse before | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
they get better. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
Sian Lloyd, BBC News, Swansea. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:23 | |

The Northern Ireland Secretary has
announced that talks to restore | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
the devolved government at Stormont
are to resume next week. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
Karen Bradley, who was
appointed last week, | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
made the announcement alongside
the Irish Deputy Prime | 0:13:43 | 0:13:49 | |
Minister. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
Power-sharing between
the Democratic Unionists | 0:13:50 | 0:13:51 | |
and Sinn Fein collapsed more
than a year ago. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
The government's spending watchdog
says taxpayers owe private companies | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
almost £200 billion for deals
set up under | 0:13:56 | 0:13:57 | |
Private Finance Initiatives. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
PFI schemes mean private companies
build and maintain schools, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
hospitals and other projects,
in return for an annual payment. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
The National Audit Office has found
that annual charges linked | 0:14:08 | 0:14:14 | |
to the schemes have reached
more than £10 billion. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Our Assistant Political Editor
Norman Smith is in Westminster. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
RV PFI scheme is a bad deal for
taxpayers? The National Audit Office | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
don't quite tell us that but they do
tell us we will be facing a big bill | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
as a result of PFI because basically
it's like getting new hospitals and | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
schools built and paying for it
through a mortgage. You can have | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
your new hospital now but you will
be paying over 25 years or so with | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
interest attached. Bear in mind
successive governments have backed | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
the idea but significantly the
National Audit Office says some | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
schools have | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
schools have cost 40% more as a
result of being built through PFI | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
rather than through the public
sector. One hospital gusts 70% more | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
and this has been seized on by
Jeremy Corbyn because he has pledged | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
to end PFI and nationalised existing
PFI contracts so this plays to his | 0:15:07 | 0:15:12 | |
agenda. All this of course comes in
the wake of the collapse of | 0:15:12 | 0:15:18 | |
Carillion, which has also played to
Jeremy Corbyn's argument about | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
ensuring public services are
provided by the public sector and | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
not private contractors. And
sometimes in politics you kind of | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
need the wind behind you, and at the
moment Mr Corbyn seems to be | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
enjoying a couple of helpful gusts
to help his argument about the | 0:15:36 | 0:15:46 | |
advantages of the public sector over
the private sector. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Our top story this lunchtime... | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
The UK pledges more than 40 million
pounds extra to help border | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
security at the Channel -
it'll be spent on fencing, | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
CCTV and new technology
at border points. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
And coming up - tackling
a hidden problem - | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
we report on a pilot scheme offering
paid work to former slaves. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:05 | |

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says
he expects his influential | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
forward Alexis Sanchez to depart
for Manchester United | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
in the next couple of days,
with Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
to North London as part of the deal. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:21 | |
Parents in England are subsidising
free nursery care because it hasn't | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
been properly funded
by the government - | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
that's according to a new survey. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
Many nurseries say they're
struggling to cover costs, | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
and are having to ask parents
to help for fees, | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
nappies and lunches. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
The government says the funding
was never intended to cover the cost | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
of meals or additional services,
and that it's investing £6 billion | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
in childcare by 2020. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
Our Education Correspondent Elaine
Dunkley has the details. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
How many of the pink
beads have we got? | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
At Sparkling Stars preschool
in Poole, the numbers don't add up. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
It's struggling financially
to provide children with 30 hours | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
of free care a week and says
the government hasn't provided | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
enough funding for the scheme. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
We are funding big-time
here in Poole. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:16 | |
Preschools in Poole
are paid £3.77 per hour | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
to deliver funded childcare. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
Our true cost of provision
is closer to £5 per hour. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
The only person that this policy
is free to is the government. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
It's not free to providers. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:26 | |
We are subsidising this policy. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
It is not free to parents
or their children because we are | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
having to ask for additional
contributions to cover | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
parts of what we offer
that the funding does not cover. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
Before the scheme was introduced,
the high cost of childcare meant | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
some parents were worse off
going back to work. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
But with some nurseries struggling
to offer 30 hours a week, | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
parents are being asked to pick
up additional costs. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
Having 30 hours gives me
the security to work more. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
But obviously if they can't sustain
it, then that's concerning. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
When they go on to bigger
schools, you're not to make | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
When they go on to bigger schools,
you're not asked to make | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
donations and things there. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
It is costly, for a working
family when you look | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
at what the minimum wage is,
what they earn, and then you take | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
off that cost to the nursery. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
The report from the Preschool
Learning Alliance suggests only 35% | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
of childcare providers
are delivering 30 hours | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
a week completely free. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:18 | |
37% have introduced or increased
charges for things such as meals | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
and snacks to make up the shortfall. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
And 38% of providers are uncertain
whether or not they will be offering | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
30 hour places in a year's time. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
Almost on a daily basis I receive
e-mails and letters from providers | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
that have been around for ten,
20, 30 years, who are saying, | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
we've had enough, we can no
longer make this work. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
We are closing our doors. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
When you get one in five
providers in this survey that | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
are saying effectively,
we are worried that we will not be | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
here next year, then
that's a bad place to be. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
And government knows this
is likely to be the case. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
The government insists
the additional hours | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
are working for parents,
but nurseries say they are | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
going out of business. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:56 | |
Elaine Dunkley, BBC News. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
A terminally-ill man who wants
to be helped to die has | 0:19:01 | 0:19:07 | |
been granted permission
to take his case to appeal. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
68-year-old Noel Conway,
who has motor neurone disease, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:16 | |
Says the current law breaches human
rights. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
Our Medical Correspondent Fergus
Walsh is at the High Court | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
in Central London. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
Noel Conway is a retired lecturer.
He is becoming progressively weaker | 0:19:24 | 0:19:30 | |
as his motor neuron disease spreads.
He needs oxygen to help him breathe. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:36 | |
He says he fears having a painful
and undignified death. So he | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
launched the challenge to the 1961
suicide act which forbids a doctor | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
from prescribing him a lethal dose.
He says that breaches his human | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
rights. Last October, three High
Court judges dismissed that | 0:19:50 | 0:19:56 | |
challenge. But two hours ago, some
Appeal Court judges said he should | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
be allowed to take that challenge
and review that decision with a full | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
hearing before the Court of Appeal,
which will be heard in a few months' | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
time. This issue of whether there
should be a right to die is a key | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
one for society. Back in 2015, MPs
overwhelmingly rejected proposals | 0:20:14 | 0:20:22 | |
for assisted dying in England and
Wales. Opponents say it would place | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
the weak and vulnerable at greater
risk, the risk of co-worker. Some | 0:20:27 | 0:20:33 | |
American states, California and
Colorado, have since then adopted | 0:20:33 | 0:20:40 | |
right to die, as has Victoria in
Australia. -- the risk of coercion. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
This case will go back to court in a
few months' time here. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:50 | |
Modern slavery - it's
often a hidden problem - | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
but one that can be found in towns
and cities all over the UK. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
For the past year, the Co-Op has
been piloting the first scheme | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
of its kind to give paid work
experience and then a permanent role | 0:20:58 | 0:21:06 | |
to more than 30 former
victims of slavery, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
saying a new job can mean
a new life. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
More than a dozen businesses
are meeting in Westminster | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
to discuss how they can get
involved, as Nina Warhurst reports. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Before, my life was very bad. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
I think, I don't have
a chance of a future. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
Now, it's very nice, it's great. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
I'm very happy. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
Peter is a survivor
of modern slavery. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:24 | |
One of 12 to have been placed
in safe, secure work by the Co-op. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
Like thousands before him, Peter
came from Romania for a new life. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:35 | |
I'm looking for a job. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
And to be happy?
Yes. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
But 12 hour days were spent
cold and wet, working | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
in a car-wash without any pay. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
He was then held prisoner,
only allowed out to open fake bank | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
accounts for his captors. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
You feel scared of these men? | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
Yes, very scared. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
Because they're very
dangerous, these people. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
Very, very aggressive. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
They tell me, "I will kill you". | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
His room was closely
guarded, but Peter escaped | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
when the gang got drunk. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
And now I'm remembering this... | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
Your heart beats faster
now, remembering? | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
Very, very, very hard. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
From living in a safe
house, to a safe job. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
Here at the Co-op, they are offering
survivors a new start. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
When they go into a workplace,
for example, it's either just | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
the store manager who knows
they are a modern slave | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
victim, or just their line
manager and logistics. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
It's totally confidential. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
What are the big challenges
you face in making sure | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
this employment works? | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
They don't have maybe a driving
licence or bank account. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
The formal things you and I would
have to say who we were. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
We have had to adapt our HR policies
to be able to deal with that. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
Right now, in our communities,
there's an estimated | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
13,000 modern slaves. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:55 | |
Though because they often disappear,
that number could be much higher. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
When survivors escape
or are discovered, often | 0:22:58 | 0:22:59 | |
they are deeply traumatised. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:00 | |
They might be suffering
from panic attacks and be | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
terrified of the police. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
Sometimes their sense of trust has
been so deeply eroded | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
that they are suspicious of any
support on offer. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
That makes the scale of this
challenge even greater. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:14 | |
How did it go yesterday
at The Body Shop? | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Today, this charity,
alongside the Co-op, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
is meeting with a dozen businesses
hoping to help more survivors. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
Even as consumers, we love hearing
when a business, when a corporation, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
when they have a heart. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
This is going to help so many
survivors, people who have been | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
the most vulnerable,
the most exploited. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
It's setting them up
for a brand-new start. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Why do you like the job,
what do you like? | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
I like it first thing
because it's nice people. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
The manager is great. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:45 | |
I love it, my job. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
Peter is a man excited
about his future. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:54 | |
He's about to take his girlfriend
on holiday, a basic freedom that | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
now means the world. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:58 | |
Nina Warhurst, BBC News. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
The Director of Public Prosecutions,
Alison Saunders, says she doesn't | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
think anyone is in jail
after being wrongly convicted | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
because of failures
to disclose crucial evidence. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
It comes amid growing concern
about a series of rape cases | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
which have collapsed after material
emerged undermining the prosecution. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
Senior police, barristers
and prosecutors are meeting | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
today to discuss ways
to address the problems. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent
Danny Shaw is here. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
Explain the kind of
situation that has arisen. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:31 | |
There have been three rape cases in
the past month that have all | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
collapsed late on, just as the trial
was about to get underway, shortly | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
before it was due to start, in which
men who have been investigated for | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
rape for many months have been
cleared because evidence has emerged | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
which assists their case, undermines
the persecution case. This has been | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
evidence from mobile phones, either
evidence on text messages or | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
photographs. This was crucial
evidence. The question is, why did | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
this evidence not emerge earlier?
Alison Saunders acknowledges there | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
is a problem and believes there are
systemic issues around the | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
disclosure of evidence across the
criminal justice system. She was | 0:25:07 | 0:25:14 | |
asked on the Today programme whether
it was possible there were people in | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
prison who were there because of
disclosure failings. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
I don't think so, because what these
cases show is that when we take | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
a case through to trial,
there are various safeguards | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
in place, not least
of which the defence indicating | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
what their defence is going to be. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:32 | |
And if it is, the problem we have
found recently is around the ever | 0:25:32 | 0:25:37 | |
increasing use of social media,
all the digital material. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
That we obtain. Those comments have
been heavily criticised. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:47 | |
Conservative backbencher and
barrister Anna Soubry said she was | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
appalled at what Alison Saunders
said and said she was ill informed | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
to say nobody was in prison because
of disclosure failings. The body | 0:25:53 | 0:25:58 | |
that investigates possible
miscarriages of justice has said her | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
remarks were at odds with their long
experience of dealing with wrongful | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
convictions. And they had raised the
issue with Alison Saunders on | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
numerous occasions. Danny Shaw,
thank you. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
The adopted daughter
of the Hollywood film director | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
Woody Allen says she feels outrage
at being ignored for years | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
after making a sexual assault
allegation against him. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
32-year-old Dylan Farrow
is appearing on television | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
for the first time to
discuss the allegation. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
82-year-old Woody Allen
was investigated over the claim | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
that he molested Dylan
in an attic when she was seven. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
He has always denied the allegation
and was never charged. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
Lizo Mzimba reports. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:37 | |
The multi-Oscar-winning director is
one of the film's best-known faces. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
He's also one of many Hollywood
figures accused of sexual | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
misconduct. In her first TV
interview with CBS news, his adopted | 0:26:44 | 0:26:50 | |
daughter Dylan Farrow has again said
she was abused by him when she was | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
just seven. Claims that Woody Allen
has consistently denied. I was taken | 0:26:55 | 0:27:01 | |
to a small attic crawl space in my
mother's country house. In | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
Connecticut. By my father. He
instructed me to lay down on my | 0:27:05 | 0:27:12 | |
stomach and play with my brother's
toy train that was set up. And he | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
sat behind me in the doorway and, as
I played with the toy train, I was | 0:27:16 | 0:27:25 | |
sexually assaulted. Woody Allen says
the claims were investigated by a | 0:27:25 | 0:27:31 | |
hospital and child welfare and he
says they independently concluded | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
that no molestation had ever taken
place. Instead, he says, they found | 0:27:35 | 0:27:40 | |
it likely a vulnerable child had
been coached to tell her story by | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
her angry mother during a
contentious break-up. Dylan Farrow | 0:27:44 | 0:27:50 | |
also showed him denying the claim on
a previously transmitted CBS | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
special. I'm really sorry. Don't
apologise. I thought I could handle | 0:27:53 | 0:27:59 | |
it. Are you crying because of what
he said, or seen him? What is | 0:27:59 | 0:28:06 | |
upsetting you? He's lying and... He
has been lying for so long. And it's | 0:28:06 | 0:28:13 | |
difficult for me to see him and to
hear his voice. Stars like Alec | 0:28:13 | 0:28:19 | |
Baldwin have expressed support for
Woody Allen. Many more Hollywood | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
figures have distanced themselves or
condemned him. Lizo Mzimba, BBC | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |

Scotland Yard says it's
investigating a third complaint | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
of sexual assault against
the actor Kevin Spacey. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
The allegation relates to
an incident in Westminster in 2005. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
Kevin Spacey, who has not been
charged with any offences, | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
has denied previous claims
against him, for alleged sexual | 0:28:39 | 0:28:41 | |
assaults that took place
in South London in 2005 and 2008. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:47 | |

The former Capital Radio DJ
and Who Wants to be a Millionaire | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
host was stopped after he left a pub
in Berkshire in November | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
after a member of the public
called the police. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
The 71-year-old was disqualified
from driving for a year, | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
and fined £6000. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:16 | |
Some Royal watchers
have been queueing in | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
Cardiff since dawn to see | 0:29:19 | 0:29:20 | |
Prince Harry and his fiancee
Meghan Markle this afternoon. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
They're expected at Cardiff Castle
shortly, where they'll take | 0:29:22 | 0:29:24 | |
a tour of the grounds. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
Our Royal Correspondent
Nicholas Witchell is there. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
The crowds are building up a little
bit now. To be perfectly honest, it | 0:29:30 | 0:29:34 | |
has been fairly low key up to this
point. Certainly not the excitement | 0:29:34 | 0:29:40 | |
there was in Brixton in south London
a couple of weeks ago. Harry and | 0:29:40 | 0:29:44 | |
Meghan Mac had been due here in a
couple of minutes but we understand | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
the train from Paddington has been
delayed and they will probably not | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
be here for the best part of an
hour. Although Harry is strictly | 0:29:51 | 0:29:56 | |
speaking Prince Henry of Wales, he
has not been a very regular visitor | 0:29:56 | 0:30:00 | |
to Wales. Today he's bringing his
bride-to-be on what will be her | 0:30:00 | 0:30:06 | |
third public appearance in the UK to
Cardiff Castle. They will | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
familiarise themselves with some
Welsh culture and language, meet | 0:30:10 | 0:30:14 | |
some sporting stars, and then they
will go to a community centre to | 0:30:14 | 0:30:19 | |
meet several charities which
encourage young people, particularly | 0:30:19 | 0:30:25 | |
from disadvantaged areas, to become
involved with sport. So Harry and | 0:30:25 | 0:30:29 | |
Meghan are on their way to Cardiff.
We will see how Cardiff responds. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:35 | |
Time for a look at the weather -
here's Sarah Keith-Lucas. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
Some terrible weather overnight, has
the worst of it past? | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
The worst of the strong wind is
certainly over. The storm we had is | 0:30:43 | 0:30:48 | |
now moving off affecting the
Netherlands and Germany at the | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
moment. We are now left with more
snow and ice in the forecast. This | 0:30:51 | 0:30:56 | |
is the beautiful scene, fresh snow
and blue skies in North Yorkshire. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
We have more of those snow showers
to come. The satellite image showing | 0:30:59 | 0:31:04 | |
a real peppering of cloud moving in
on a north-westerly wind across | 0:31:04 | 0:31:09 | |
Scotland, Northern Ireland,
north-west England. Further south, | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
most of the showers we see across
Wales and south-west England are | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
falling as rain with some sleet and
snow over higher ground. For parts | 0:31:15 | 0:31:19 | |
of Scotland, Northern Ireland and
northern England, most of the snow | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
over higher ground but the snow
levels will come down overnight | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
meaning we will start to see sleet
and some snow on lower levels. Here | 0:31:26 | 0:31:36 | |
we have some blue sky and sunshine.
Feeling chilly where ever you are. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:43 | |
Further sleet and snow tonight
across Scotland, Northern Ireland | 0:31:43 | 0:31:47 | |
and north-west England. We are
likely to see a significant risk of | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
icy conditions on Friday morning so
take care on the roads. There will | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
be some ice and accumulating snow
fall, even on lower levels with | 0:31:53 | 0:31:58 | |
temperatures subzero starting Friday
morning. Similar to today, Friday | 0:31:58 | 0:32:03 | |
will be mostly dry and clear. Chill
and eastern England and the far east | 0:32:03 | 0:32:07 | |
of Scotland. Some heavy snow for a
time pushing across Northern Ireland | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
into the western half of Scotland
and north-west England. We could see | 0:32:10 | 0:32:14 | |
several centimetres more of snow
accumulating. Temperatures between | 0:32:14 | 0:32:19 | |
two and 7 degrees. A different
feeling in the weather north to | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
south across the country. As we look
from Friday night and into the | 0:32:21 | 0:32:26 | |
weekend, a bit of a change with a
front approaching from the | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
south-west. Before that, a ridge of
higher pressure and a quieter day on | 0:32:29 | 0:32:34 | |
the cards for Saturday. Many of us
staying dry with some sunshine. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
Still fairly chilly, 3-7 degrees.
Rain possible in the south and some | 0:32:37 | 0:32:44 | |
showers in Scotland. All in all, are
largely dry day. On Saturday night | 0:32:44 | 0:32:48 | |
into Sunday we will see the next
front moving in from the Atlantic. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:52 | |
As it bumps into the cold air, and
the period of snow like the across | 0:32:52 | 0:32:57 | |
northern England and Scotland in
particular. Wet and breezy on Sunday | 0:32:57 | 0:33:01 | |
but the temperatures will be rising
from what we have seen recently. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
Through the weekend, a mix of mostly
dry and bright on Saturday, but | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
thing is getting increasingly wet
and windy once again by Sunday. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:14 | |
A reminder of our main
story this lunchtime... | 0:33:14 | 0:33:19 | |
The UK pledges £44 million
extra to help border | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
security at the Channel. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:23 | |
It'll be spent on fencing, CCTV
and new technology at border points. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
That's all from the BBC News at One,
so it's goodbye from me, | 0:33:25 | 0:33:45 |
