:01:42. > :01:45.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:46. > :01:48.An NHS Trust failed to investigate the unexpected deaths of more

:01:49. > :01:50.than a thousand people, according to a scathing report

:01:51. > :01:53.commissioned by NHS England and obtained by BBC News.

:01:54. > :02:00.Between 2011 and 2015 there were more than

:02:01. > :02:03.1400 unexpected deaths among mental health patients and people

:02:04. > :02:07.with learning disabilities at Southern Health NHS Trust.

:02:08. > :02:11.But of those, more than 1100 were not investigated.

:02:12. > :02:14.The report blames a failure of leadership at the Trust,

:02:15. > :02:18.which is one of the largest of its kind in the country.

:02:19. > :02:20.Southern Health Trust says that in almost all cases it was not

:02:21. > :02:32.Our Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan has this report.

:02:33. > :02:41.This is the story of how the NHS failed to question why hundreds of

:02:42. > :02:47.patients died unexpectedly. She's worth crying for. A trust that

:02:48. > :02:52.didn't talk to families, was not interested in learning lessons. It's

:02:53. > :02:58.like uncovering a scandal. It's a total scandal, that report. Senior

:02:59. > :03:04.managers who failed to do their jobs, protecting some of society's

:03:05. > :03:10.most vulnerable. One, but not forgotten. Andrea and Jim's daughter

:03:11. > :03:13.Tessa died in 2013 aged 20. Despite receiving mental health support for

:03:14. > :03:18.years and desperate we seeking help just before she died, the family had

:03:19. > :03:27.no idea whether Southern Health investigated her death. Maybe if we

:03:28. > :03:32.cut the help we would still have her withers. It's appalling. Lots of

:03:33. > :03:45.people involved paid to do a job and they didn't do it. -- have her with

:03:46. > :03:55.us. Sorry. No need to apologise. She's worth crying for. Nearly 1200

:03:56. > :03:58.unexpected deaths were not investigated by Southern Health over

:03:59. > :04:04.the last four years. The likelihood of death being examined depended on

:04:05. > :04:09.the type of patient. 30% of mental health deaths were investigated,

:04:10. > :04:14.just 1% of learning disability deaths, and even fewer, 0.3% of

:04:15. > :04:19.older psychiatric patients, were looked into. The report was ordered

:04:20. > :04:22.by NHS England after the death of Connor Sparrowhawk, the 18-year-old

:04:23. > :04:28.died in a Bath following an epileptic seizure. His mother says

:04:29. > :04:34.the whole weeder ship at the trust should go. There's no reason why in

:04:35. > :04:39.2015 a report like this should come out. No reason at all. The board and

:04:40. > :04:44.senior team are completely responsible for this, utterly

:04:45. > :04:48.shameful. They should go? Without a doubt. They should have gone

:04:49. > :04:52.already. They have read the report. This report is a damning indictment

:04:53. > :04:57.of one of the country's largest mental health trusts. A failure of

:04:58. > :05:03.leadership at Southern Health, a lack transparency, lack of taking

:05:04. > :05:05.opportunities. Some deaths could have been avoided if earlier

:05:06. > :05:11.instances have been properly investigated. This is the woman now

:05:12. > :05:18.in the firing line, Trina Percy has led Southern health since its

:05:19. > :05:22.creation in 2011. The report says the failure to bring about sustained

:05:23. > :05:26.improvement in the light of deaths is a failure of leadership and

:05:27. > :05:27.governance. Tonight Southern Health told us there were serious concerns

:05:28. > :05:49.about the draft reports concerns. However, the report says that

:05:50. > :05:53.clearly, we have little confidence in the trust is fully recognised

:05:54. > :05:57.needs to improve its reporting an investigation of deaths. What

:05:58. > :06:00.worries me is that there appears to be no sense the trust is learning,

:06:01. > :06:05.that they are changing their practice. In light of this report

:06:06. > :06:09.that has to be some accountability here. Someone has to be held to

:06:10. > :06:14.account at senior level for the failures of this trust to properly

:06:15. > :06:18.investigate and involve families. Tonight, many families will wonder

:06:19. > :06:22.why the NHS is seemingly failed to care about why their loved ones died

:06:23. > :06:27.is this one trust or could it will stop

:06:28. > :06:32.is this one trust or could it reflect a wider problem? The

:06:33. > :06:35.important and set is that we simply don't know. It was a forensically

:06:36. > :06:41.investigation into one trust, admittedly a large one, but there

:06:42. > :06:44.are 51 trusts in England alone, and others in Scotland, Wales and

:06:45. > :06:47.Northern Ireland as well. What the report highlighted whether when it

:06:48. > :06:51.tried to gauge whether Southern health was better or worse than

:06:52. > :06:55.others, is that there was problems with the benchmark of statistics in

:06:56. > :07:00.the wider NHS, so more work will have to be done on that. NHS England

:07:01. > :07:04.have said this evening that when the report is fully published they stand

:07:05. > :07:11.to take action. In the short-term I think the focus will remain on the

:07:12. > :07:15.Southern Health leader, she set the culture, lots of questions about her

:07:16. > :07:19.tonight, not simply because about what's in the report. We've been

:07:20. > :07:23.looking at the deaths at Southern Health for some weeks now and we

:07:24. > :07:27.have spoken to families who children died in the area and their families

:07:28. > :07:29.have developed mental health problems, and they say they will not

:07:30. > :07:31.seek support because they fear what will happen to them if they engage

:07:32. > :07:34.with Southern Health. And there's an NHS helpline

:07:35. > :07:36.for people directly affected The number to call

:07:37. > :07:43.is 0300 003 0025. The Chancellor has

:07:44. > :07:45.set aside ?50 million to help the victims of Storm

:07:46. > :07:49.Desmond. George Osborne said each family

:07:50. > :07:52.would be able to claim up to ?5000 to protect their homes

:07:53. > :07:56.from future damage. The fund will be administered

:07:57. > :08:13.by local authorities and will be More rain and high wind here

:08:14. > :08:18.tonight. It's the last thing people here want to see. Despite these

:08:19. > :08:22.flood warnings, nobody is expecting any serious flooding in Carlisle.

:08:23. > :08:26.Welcome news tonight, more government cash in Cumbria,

:08:27. > :08:30.Lancashire and Scotland to help businesses get going again, to help

:08:31. > :08:31.with the clear up and make sure people in places like this can start

:08:32. > :08:41.again. There is so much that needs to be

:08:42. > :08:48.done. This is just one street, but every home here has been flooded. To

:08:49. > :08:54.help families, the government has promised ?50 million, money to

:08:55. > :08:57.rebuild lives. This is what is left of one home, Natalie has only been

:08:58. > :09:02.here one year, and the insurance will not cover everything. There is

:09:03. > :09:07.so much damage. Will this covenant cash help? Any bit of help is

:09:08. > :09:10.welcome. We have never done this before, we have only been here for a

:09:11. > :09:13.year and we are having to take everything out and start again. Any

:09:14. > :09:19.help is greatly appreciated. So many are in need. So many relying on the

:09:20. > :09:24.goodwill of volunteers for the basics like food and water.

:09:25. > :09:31.Everything here has been donated by people in Carlisle. This charity is

:09:32. > :09:36.what Janine Wright is relying on. She has no insurance, and could

:09:37. > :09:40.claim up to ?5,000 from the government's Flood fund. She needs

:09:41. > :09:45.all the help she can get. I have a friend who put me up on the couch,

:09:46. > :09:48.she didn't have to do. I have a dog and she took the dog in. Without

:09:49. > :09:53.that kindness, what would have happened to you? I wouldn't like to

:09:54. > :10:01.say. I honestly wouldn't like to say. To help Janine, these roofers

:10:02. > :10:05.are working for free. How important is it to do this? It's very

:10:06. > :10:10.important, helping the community when there has been so much

:10:11. > :10:15.devastation about. Today, Carlisle felt like a volunteer city.

:10:16. > :10:19.Strangers, not just delivering food, but showing support. The football

:10:20. > :10:25.club here called on fans to help clean up the stadium. Those recently

:10:26. > :10:30.made homeless rely on the kindness of volunteers at this rescue centre.

:10:31. > :10:37.They are a godsend. Without them we would be... We might have starved.

:10:38. > :10:42.Yeah, they have given us clothes, toiletries, food. Somewhere to

:10:43. > :10:48.sleep. To keep this city safe, once again flood defences are being

:10:49. > :10:52.checked. Tonight, more rain and high wind, as if people here could take

:10:53. > :10:54.any more. Ed Thomas, BBC News, Carlisle.

:10:55. > :10:56.It was known as the capital of Syria's revolution,

:10:57. > :11:00.and has seen some of the fiercest fighting of the four year civil war.

:11:01. > :11:03.But today, under a UN-backed ceasefire, the entire city of Homs

:11:04. > :11:04.is back under Syrian government control.

:11:05. > :11:06.Homs saw some of the earliest protests against President Assad

:11:07. > :11:13.It then came under bombardment from the Syrian army,

:11:14. > :11:16.with thousands of civilians caught in the fighting.

:11:17. > :11:19.Today, rebels withdrew from the district of al-Wair,

:11:20. > :11:22.and for the first time in almost a year, aid was allowed in.

:11:23. > :11:24.Our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet

:11:25. > :11:32.The families of the fighters were the first to leave,

:11:33. > :11:40.The fighters gathered at the entrance to al-Wair,

:11:41. > :11:45.some still carrying their personal weapons.

:11:46. > :11:47.These are the men with extremist groups, some with Al-Qaeda links,

:11:48. > :11:51.On the other side, the soldiers they have fought

:11:52. > :11:58.About 100 families are being bussed to northern Syria,

:11:59. > :12:04.The fighters will continue waging war from there.

:12:05. > :12:07.It's hard for anyone to leave home, especially when you don't

:12:08. > :12:15.Local aid workers try to make it a bit easier.

:12:16. > :12:18.But there is also relief to leave a besieged area where food

:12:19. > :12:26.Mohammed tells me it was very difficult.

:12:27. > :12:29.I have back problems and there was no medication.

:12:30. > :12:32.It's very important, he says, what's happening today.

:12:33. > :12:40.But, one day, I hope to return to my home.

:12:41. > :12:43.This neighbourhood, when the crisis hit,

:12:44. > :12:45.about 300,000 people were living here.

:12:46. > :12:58.We believe with the implementation of this agreement, more people

:12:59. > :13:00.will opt to come back to their homes.

:13:01. > :13:02.The government calls this reconciliation.

:13:03. > :13:04.The critics say this is a surrender forced by the government's siege

:13:05. > :13:07.of al-Wair, which cut off food and water to the community.

:13:08. > :13:13.TRANSLATION: We don't see it this way.

:13:14. > :13:16.What we see is that most of the armed groups here in al-Wair

:13:17. > :13:24.And that will bring peace and security to Homs.

:13:25. > :13:29.This is both a military ceasefire as well as a humanitarian agreement.

:13:30. > :13:31.There are those who believe this is the only real forward

:13:32. > :13:35.But this local ceasefire took nearly two years

:13:36. > :13:45.Every deal will depend on who's doing the fighting,

:13:46. > :13:52.Today's ceasefire means the fighting across Homs is now over.

:13:53. > :13:55.That's a relief to many who paid a terrible price.

:13:56. > :13:59.But the war in Syria is far from over.

:14:00. > :14:08.A brief look at some of the day's other news stories...

:14:09. > :14:11.Police in Paris have identified a third suicide bomber who attacked

:14:12. > :14:15.the Bataclan Theatre, killing 90 people last month.

:14:16. > :14:18.French media named him as Foued Mohamed-Aggad,

:14:19. > :14:24.He's believed to have travelled to Syria alongside his brother

:14:25. > :14:28.The Liberal Democrat MP Alistair Carmichael

:14:29. > :14:31.has survived a legal challenge against his election last May.

:14:32. > :14:33.Four of his constituents argued that he'd lied about the leaking

:14:34. > :14:36.of a memo during the general election campaign,

:14:37. > :14:41.but judges ruled he wasn't in breach of election law.

:14:42. > :14:44.A petition calling for the Republican presidential hopeful

:14:45. > :14:47.Donald Trump to be banned from entering the UK has reached

:14:48. > :14:49.200,000 signatures, meaning it will be considered

:14:50. > :14:54.It was posted in response to Mr Trump's call for a temporary

:14:55. > :15:06.2-4,000,000 a litre before Christmas -

:15:07. > :15:11.It says the average price of petrol is expected to drop

:15:12. > :15:15.It's come as the oil price fell to less than $40 a barrel

:15:16. > :15:17.for the first time in almost seven years.

:15:18. > :15:21.Our economics correspondent Andy Verity reports.

:15:22. > :15:24.Enjoy it while it lasts, the Bank of England told us.

:15:25. > :15:27.Petrol prices won't continue to fall.

:15:28. > :15:31.Now, ahead of Christmas, snow might not be falling,

:15:32. > :15:37.It should be a bit cheaper than that though, I think.

:15:38. > :15:46.Being a minicab driver, it makes a big difference.

:15:47. > :15:48.Yeah, petrol prices going down would be lovely.

:15:49. > :15:51.After dropping to a pound per litre in 2009, petrol prices climbed,

:15:52. > :15:53.driven by surging demand from China and India.

:15:54. > :15:55.Then, oil producers pumped out too much oil.

:15:56. > :16:01.They bounced back, but now they are dropping again.

:16:02. > :16:04.Petrol prices getting down close to a pound per litre might seem

:16:05. > :16:06.like great news for motorists ahead of Christmas, but it's also

:16:07. > :16:11.The world isn't just producing more oil than it needs,

:16:12. > :16:14.it's also burning less than it was expected

:16:15. > :16:17.because of a global economic slowdown.

:16:18. > :16:21.This is how the newest offshore rig in the North Sea should look

:16:22. > :16:25.Ordered when oil prices were higher, it was doubled to make money.

:16:26. > :16:28.Worldwide, there are nearly 3 billion barrels of unused crude oil,

:16:29. > :16:34.China's slowdown means there's less demand,

:16:35. > :16:37.not just for oil, but commodities like steel and copper.

:16:38. > :16:41.have also collapsed, devastating mining companies

:16:42. > :16:46.One of the world's biggest traders of commodities told us rises

:16:47. > :16:52.My read of this is that the Chinese economic underperformance is likely

:16:53. > :16:56.In that environment I would expect commodity prices

:16:57. > :17:04.While the global economic gloom might lie behind the cheaper prices,

:17:05. > :17:07.you will not see many motorists lamenting it.

:17:08. > :17:11.The average litre of unleaded is not yet as cheap as it was in February

:17:12. > :17:14.after the first big drop in oil prices, but it's heading that way.

:17:15. > :17:26.Southern Mental Health Trust has been blamed for failing

:17:27. > :17:34.to investigate 1,000 unexpected deaths.

:17:35. > :17:41.still to come, the Hatton Garden diamond heist. The court blames two

:17:42. > :17:42.of the accused were no strangers to high-profile robberies.

:17:43. > :17:45.And coming up on Reporting Scotland at 6:30.

:17:46. > :17:47.Celtic's John Collins says their final European match

:17:48. > :17:49.of the season is one they could do without,

:17:50. > :17:51.as the team trains in Istanbul tonight.

:17:52. > :17:53.And we'll explain why these giant pink bunnies are proving

:17:54. > :18:02.the antidote to the granite city gloaming.

:18:03. > :18:05.Delegates at the UN climate talks in Paris are studying the draft text

:18:06. > :18:07.of what many hope will be a new global agreement

:18:08. > :18:13.It marks a crucial stage in the negotiations,

:18:14. > :18:16.but there are already arguments about what might be left out

:18:17. > :18:27.Our Science Editor David Shukman is in Paris.

:18:28. > :18:32.Thank you. Yes, basically, for two decade International talks on

:18:33. > :18:36.climate change and got nowhere so what happened today is pretty

:18:37. > :18:40.significant. The French, hosting this conference, came up with what

:18:41. > :18:44.they see as the basics of what could become the first global agreement to

:18:45. > :18:47.tackle climate change. It's got lots of gaps, plenty didn't like about it

:18:48. > :18:50.but many say it's a promising start. Trying to tackle the world's

:18:51. > :18:51.changing climate. Some of the poorest countries fear

:18:52. > :18:56.global warming will threaten their survival whilst others

:18:57. > :19:01.are reluctant to take action. Today in Paris, delegates

:19:02. > :19:09.were given the latest draft of what could become

:19:10. > :19:11.a landmark agreement. 29 pages designed to head off

:19:12. > :19:14.the dangers of rising temperatures. The developing nations immediately

:19:15. > :19:16.said there wasn't enough I'm worried about the fact

:19:17. > :19:21.that there is no clear commitment from the international community

:19:22. > :19:28.particularly the main major emitters in terms of what they are going

:19:29. > :19:32.to do in terms of support for the most vulnerable

:19:33. > :19:37.small island states. Negotiators have been poring over

:19:38. > :19:45.this draft document. Checking if it suits nearly 200

:19:46. > :19:52.different governments. I got my copy and, like everyone,

:19:53. > :19:55.saw while a lot of key points are agreed, many fundamental issues

:19:56. > :19:58.are still to be sorted. So it talks of a goal

:19:59. > :20:03.to limit global warming. It calls for deep cuts in greenhouse

:20:04. > :20:20.gases but it's not clear by when. And it says there will be reviews

:20:21. > :20:23.of national climate plans it doesn't At the heart of this is a dispute

:20:24. > :20:28.over who should reduce the emissions And today the United States called

:20:29. > :20:32.on the biggest developing countries Carbon pollution

:20:33. > :20:34.is carbon pollution. And it does the same damage

:20:35. > :20:37.whether it's coming from Baltimore So we all have to be

:20:38. > :20:44.smarter about the future. The talks have gone far more

:20:45. > :20:47.smoothly than many expected but long The jury in the Hatton Garden

:20:48. > :20:54.diamond robbery trial has heard that two of the men who have pleaded

:20:55. > :20:57.guilty to the burglary were also involved in two of the most

:20:58. > :21:00.notorious robberies of the 1980s. Daniel Sandford is outside

:21:01. > :21:12.Woolwich Crown Court. Yes, George, until now the jury had

:21:13. > :21:16.been kept in the dark about the criminal past of the men who had

:21:17. > :21:20.already pleaded guilty to the Hatton Garden burglary but today they

:21:21. > :21:25.discovered, that two of them had served long jail sentences for two

:21:26. > :21:28.of the most notorious armed robberies of the 1980s.

:21:29. > :21:34.Brian Reader, 76 years old, and Terry Perkins, 67,

:21:35. > :21:37.both pleaded guilty in September to the Hatton Garden burglary,

:21:38. > :21:49.But we can now report for the first time, Brian Reader's previous

:21:50. > :21:52.involvement in Britain's biggest gold robbery 32 years ago.

:21:53. > :21:55.Gold bullion stolen from the Brinks mat and depot in a violent armed

:22:44. > :22:46.John Hardinson, told police, I'm totally innocent

:22:47. > :22:48.of any involvement in this burglary,

:22:49. > :22:55.I have morals and I would not nick anything.

:22:56. > :22:58.Police estimate of the ?40 million stolen in the burglary,

:23:12. > :23:14.will take to the field for a rather different occasion -

:23:17. > :23:19.Roberts, who is also a qualified doctor, decided to go back

:23:20. > :23:26.Huw Edwards spoke to him in Cambridge.

:23:27. > :23:30.Certainly, the five or six weeks I've been here,

:23:31. > :23:36.it's been a bit of an eye-opener really.

:23:37. > :23:39.Nothing I was ever used to, compared to what I was used

:23:40. > :23:42.It's such an amazing, amazing place to study,

:23:43. > :23:49.What does it mean to you, given that there will be people

:23:50. > :23:51.watching thinking, gosh, this guy has played in such enormous

:23:52. > :23:54.matches, why would you get excited about the Varsity match?

:23:55. > :23:59.I think it's the pinnacle of student sport and certainly,

:24:00. > :24:09.as a student, when I started on my undergraduate course

:24:10. > :24:12.in medicine in Cardiff when I was 18, you saw people get

:24:13. > :24:14.excited for the Cardiff- Swansea Varsity match which I used

:24:15. > :24:18.I suppose you look to the pinnacle of student sport and that's always

:24:19. > :24:21.been the Varsity match, whether it's the rowing or the rugby

:24:22. > :24:25.To get a chance to play in it now, whilst I'm coming back

:24:26. > :24:27.to being a student again, the eternal student,

:24:28. > :24:33.How do you have the balance between your academic duties

:24:34. > :24:37.and all the rest of the stuff you need to keep up with?

:24:38. > :24:43.Yeah, I suppose I try to spin quite a few plates in my life.

:24:44. > :24:45.Yeah, it's tough, there's no doubting that.

:24:46. > :24:51.I work pretty hard at whatever I set my mind to.

:24:52. > :24:54.I was always used to it, from 18, doing a medical degree

:24:55. > :24:58.in Cardiff University, balancing playing alongside studying.

:24:59. > :25:02.I've always found that one is an escape from the other.

:25:03. > :25:05.If I'm training really hard, I escape into the library or do some

:25:06. > :25:08.work and I'm ready to go training again and vice versa.

:25:09. > :25:11.For people wondering where Jamie Roberts is going to be

:25:12. > :25:14.in ten years' time, are they right to think you're probably going to be

:25:15. > :25:17.in medicine, that's going to be your full-time occupation,

:25:18. > :25:23.It would be a wise man to not bet against me being a doctor

:25:24. > :25:31.I've devoted near a decade to my medical studies.

:25:32. > :25:34.I haven't worked as a junior doctor yet which is something I really

:25:35. > :25:40.Yeah, I've given a lot of years to being a medical student

:25:41. > :25:44.and there have been some great experiences.

:25:45. > :25:47.I've met some wonderful people along the way and I'd love to be able

:25:48. > :25:57.And you can see the Varsity match tomorrow on BBC Two from 2.00pm.

:25:58. > :26:10.George, hello, it's more of the same to be honest with you. I wish I

:26:11. > :26:15.could wave a magic wand and all that wind and rain would fade away but

:26:16. > :26:18.no, unfortunately, for the next week or so it's going to be a case of

:26:19. > :26:23.spells of rain coming off the Atlantic. This is one weather system

:26:24. > :26:26.crossing the west of UK right now. Strong wind in the west of the

:26:27. > :26:30.country, lots of ice bars here so real thrust wind coming off the

:26:31. > :26:36.Atlantic, so let's see what's happening over the next couple of

:26:37. > :26:39.hours or so. 60-70 miles an hour gusts of the Western Isles, the Lake

:26:40. > :26:44.District and the South of Scotland and we could see 50-60 miles an hour

:26:45. > :26:46.gusts and the rainfall is a concern always across this part of the world

:26:47. > :26:51.after flooding 40 millilitres, nowhere near compare to what we had

:26:52. > :26:55.a week ago but it's not very pleasant when you look out of your

:26:56. > :26:59.front window at that flooding. The rain keeps coming. The good news is

:27:00. > :27:04.later on in the night, the bane will shift further south and will end up

:27:05. > :27:09.across southern areas, -- the rain. 10 degrees. In the north, colder.

:27:10. > :27:13.The reason is a cold front crossing the country tomorrow so in the

:27:14. > :27:19.south, it's cloudy, rain falling in the south-west about to the North,

:27:20. > :27:23.particularly Scotland, I think old enough for some wintry showers

:27:24. > :27:30.particularly across the hills. Six in Glasgow, eight in Glasgow, in the

:27:31. > :27:34.south, mild weather, 13 in London, and Friday is not pretty in the

:27:35. > :27:40.south. Cloudy skies for most of us with rain on and off. Cold still,

:27:41. > :27:45.relatively cold across the northern half of the UK. The weekend? It will

:27:46. > :27:50.turn milder, there are some rain on the way but it looks as though the

:27:51. > :27:54.rainfall could be a bit tricky to forecast exactly where it will fall.

:27:55. > :27:57.We will know a bit better tomorrow so a real mixed bag continues. Thank

:27:58. > :27:59.you. Before we go, a word

:28:00. > :28:02.about an exclusive report coming It's from our correspondent

:28:03. > :28:05.Ian Pannell on the battle Now on BBC One, it's time to join

:28:06. > :28:46.the BBC's news teams where you are.
