:00:21. > :00:24.He's been a good manager here, he's done well, and his time is up.
:00:25. > :00:26.I think they've treated him badly, to be honest.

:01:45. > :01:47.Chelsea has sacked their most successful manager, Jose Mourinho,
:01:48. > :01:50.after a terrible start to the season.
:01:51. > :01:53.The man who dubbed himself the Special One
:01:54. > :01:55.led his team to Premier League triumph in May.
:01:56. > :02:00.the club has seen a complete reversal of fortune.
:02:01. > :02:03.Chelsea have lost nine of their 16 games this season
:02:04. > :02:05.and are now just one point away from the relegation zone.
:02:06. > :02:19.Joe. Yeah, you may have been watching, reading, listening a few
:02:20. > :02:24.hours ago as BBC Sport through Dan Roan revealed that the deed had been
:02:25. > :02:28.done. We had begun to wonder what Roman Abramovich was waiting for,
:02:29. > :02:32.the delay, I'm sure down to Jose Mourinho's unique status at Chelsea,
:02:33. > :02:39.but so strained had relations become between manager and players, in
:02:40. > :02:45.particular, that even a volley to seemed preferable to Mourinho. -- --
:02:46. > :02:47.void. Jose Mourinho leaving Chelsea today,
:02:48. > :02:50.unwilling even to be seen. Remember, he had begun his second
:02:51. > :02:53.spell at the club with a promise This time, he said,
:02:54. > :02:56.he would be happy. Well, look at him this
:02:57. > :02:58.season, happiness lives It became Mourinho versus
:02:59. > :03:01.the world, with his own players, in Mourinho's mind,
:03:02. > :03:03.even betraying his work. If that made the end
:03:04. > :03:06.inevitable, officially Chelsea
:03:07. > :03:10.say the parting was mutual. In reference to Mourinho,
:03:11. > :03:20.their statement reads: Is three titles over two spells
:03:21. > :03:25.makes in the most successful manager in our 110 year history. But both
:03:26. > :03:28.Jose and the board have agreed results have not been good enough
:03:29. > :03:29.this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go
:03:30. > :03:32.our separate ways. Three in the box for Mahrez.
:03:33. > :03:34.He curls it in. On Monday night, Mourinho watched
:03:35. > :03:38.a team in blue play with tenacity, If that defeat sealed
:03:39. > :03:46.Mourinho's fate with the owner, not every supporter
:03:47. > :03:48.at Stamford Bridge today We have come all the way here,
:03:49. > :03:54.we are from Lancashire, and we have found out
:03:55. > :03:57.he has gone. At the end of the day,
:03:58. > :04:02.he has been a good manager here, he has done well but his time is up,
:04:03. > :04:05.everyone has their time I think they have treated him badly,
:04:06. > :04:12.to be honest, the players Only the Chelsea players themselves
:04:13. > :04:16.really know if Mourinho was right So Roman Abramovich
:04:17. > :04:25.must find another manager. Money to him has never been
:04:26. > :04:28.an issue, but what is he selling Come to a club on the brink
:04:29. > :04:35.of the relegation zone they will play Chelsea
:04:36. > :04:42.without Mourinho. I am shocked, to say the least,
:04:43. > :04:48.they must have already somebody lined up, to have done it now,
:04:49. > :04:51.they must have somebody paid to take over the reins, whether that be
:04:52. > :04:54.short-term or long-term, I suppose we will find
:04:55. > :04:56.out very quickly, Chelsea's decline
:04:57. > :05:05.has been staggering. After two goes out
:05:06. > :05:12.the job, Mourinho must now be part of their history,
:05:13. > :05:18.but after leaving an apparently demotivated, declining team, where,
:05:19. > :05:29.any successor may ask What now? Guus Hiddink has been
:05:30. > :05:33.tipped as a temporary option, but surely general Sisi need a long-term
:05:34. > :05:38.strategy to recapture all the ground they have lost. -- Chelsea need. We
:05:39. > :05:41.need immediate future, their regular media conference scheduled for
:05:42. > :05:44.tomorrow has been cancelled. Joe, thank you.
:05:45. > :05:46.The President of the European Council has warned David Cameron
:05:47. > :05:49.that some of his proposals for reform ahead of a referendum
:05:50. > :05:52.on British membership of the EU are unacceptable.
:05:53. > :05:58.David Cameron wants changes to protect the power of national
:05:59. > :06:01.parliaments to make the EU more competitive and cut red tape
:06:02. > :06:03.and to protect countries that don't use the euro from decisions
:06:04. > :06:07.But most controversially, he wants to ban
:06:08. > :06:09.in-work benefits for migrants for four years.
:06:10. > :06:12.And that's proving to be a sticking point for EU leaders.
:06:13. > :06:13.Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg,
:06:14. > :06:28.Sobey, nearly three years ago now, David Cameron made a very big
:06:29. > :06:31.problems, which was also a big risk. -- Sophie. He promised to change the
:06:32. > :06:39.rules of the whole European Union and then give us a vote on whether
:06:40. > :06:45.we wanted to stay. Tonight is its first major chance to get the other
:06:46. > :06:52.27 political leaders onto his side. There is a very big problem already
:06:53. > :06:55.- he is determined to cut back the benefits that workers from Spain,
:06:56. > :06:59.Poland or Hungary can get if they work in the UK, but it is very hard
:07:00. > :07:01.to find anyone else in this place who agrees with him.
:07:02. > :07:04.Having an entourage - shiny cars, lots of staff -
:07:05. > :07:10.The Prime Minister is walking into a fight, maybe a trap,
:07:11. > :07:15.We are not pushing for a deal tonight, but we are pushing for real
:07:16. > :07:18.momentum so that we can get this deal done, so I'm going to be
:07:19. > :07:20.battling hard for Britain right through the night,
:07:21. > :07:22.and I think we'll be getting a good deal.
:07:23. > :07:24.Are you prepared to back down on some of
:07:25. > :07:26.your proposals on benefits, Prime Minister?
:07:27. > :07:28.He won't answer yet because he can't.
:07:29. > :07:30.The Prime Minister wants to change how Europe works,
:07:31. > :07:34.cut back benefits for EU workers in Britain.
:07:35. > :07:38.But he needs all the other European leaders to agree.
:07:39. > :07:48.It's legitimate to listen to the British Prime Minister
:07:49. > :07:52.but unacceptable to revise founding European commitments,
:07:53. > :08:06.proposals to restrict benefits for your people in the UK?
:08:07. > :08:09.As far as I know, David Cameron's proposals
:08:10. > :08:13.Three are supportable, easy for us, basically we agree.
:08:14. > :08:26.Some parts of the British proposals seem unacceptable.
:08:27. > :08:29.It's about Brexit, but I think this is no time for exit in Europe,
:08:30. > :08:33.The real business, of course, is done behind closed doors.
:08:34. > :08:35.That's why there's this frantic atmosphere, scouring for clues
:08:36. > :08:38.of anything that said outside, but listening to leader after leader
:08:39. > :08:42.as they arrive, the odds seem against David Cameron.
:08:43. > :08:51.The German leader, Europe's decider, said, we would like
:08:52. > :08:56.to keep Britain in the EU but at the same time
:08:57. > :09:00.don't want to limit basic liberties.
:09:01. > :09:13.Yet it's even been hard for David Cameron
:09:14. > :09:17.to elbow his arguments adamant onto the table.
:09:18. > :09:20.EU leaders are trying to concentrate on the migrant crisis.
:09:21. > :09:22.But while the desire to help is genuine,
:09:23. > :09:23.the clash over benefits is very real.
:09:24. > :09:25.So far there is nothing in the nitty-gritty
:09:26. > :09:27.that even these power brokers can agree.
:09:28. > :09:30.And look who else is in town today - the Labour leader, sensing perhaps
:09:31. > :09:33.David Cameron is taking the biggest gamble of his career.
:09:34. > :09:35.But he's come here for an argument without being
:09:36. > :09:39.Why can't he just say, well, actually, this argument really
:09:40. > :09:42.belongs within the Conservative Party, and perhaps the
:09:43. > :09:45.Conservative Party should sort out what their problem is first?
:09:46. > :09:49.It was pressure in his own party that pushed the Prime Minister
:09:50. > :09:53.changing the UK's relationship with the EU,
:09:54. > :09:57.then giving you a vote to stay or go.
:09:58. > :09:59.But looking around this room, trying to get
:10:00. > :10:01.nearly 30 countries on side, politics at home
:10:02. > :10:15.There is going to have to be compromise on one side or another,
:10:16. > :10:18.but there is precious little sign of idiot. So far tonight it is
:10:19. > :10:25.stand-off, with David Cameron and the other leaders about two sets
:10:26. > :10:28.down to dinner where they will discuss these tricky issues.
:10:29. > :10:32.Remember, this is a negotiation, and at the beginning of any hard
:10:33. > :10:34.negotiation, few people are willing to show their real hand.
:10:35. > :10:39.81 people have been convicted of being part of the largest
:10:40. > :10:42.car-insurance fraud network ever seen in the UK in a series of trials
:10:43. > :10:49.obtained by Gwent Police, shows a vehicle being driven
:10:50. > :10:51.into a forklift truck to make it look
:10:52. > :10:58.The scam cost the insurance industry more than ?750,000.
:10:59. > :11:00.The head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde,
:11:01. > :11:04.has been ordered to stand trial in France for alleged negligence
:11:05. > :11:05.over a compensation payment to a businessman.
:11:06. > :11:09.when she was French Finance Minister.
:11:10. > :11:12.Her lawyer says she denies any wrongdoing
:11:13. > :11:16.and will appeal against the decision in the next few days.
:11:17. > :11:20.A review is to be held into how the NHS investigates deaths
:11:21. > :11:23.following a damning report into a mental-health trust.
:11:24. > :11:27.Southern Health has been strongly criticised for failing to carry out
:11:28. > :11:30.proper investigations into hundreds of unexpected deaths -
:11:31. > :11:33.as the BBC exclusively revealed last week.
:11:34. > :11:37.Today, as the official report was published,
:11:38. > :11:41.the chief executive of Southern Health apologised unreservedly
:11:42. > :11:44.and said improvements had to be made.
:11:45. > :11:49.Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports.
:11:50. > :11:55.We've spoken to all their families, who say failures by Southern Health
:11:56. > :12:02.Most say a lack of compassion afterwards from the trust added
:12:03. > :12:07.Nico Reed died in 2012 - he choked to death on his own vomit
:12:08. > :12:10.after being left unchecked for longer than he should have been.
:12:11. > :12:12.Southern Health were not his care provider
:12:13. > :12:15.but were responsible for investigating his death.
:12:16. > :12:18.His mother, whose case is highlighted in today's report,
:12:19. > :12:22.is appalled by how they've been treated.
:12:23. > :12:33.and we were so unimportant to them, they literally didn't care.
:12:34. > :12:37.They didn't care enough to even engage with us.
:12:38. > :12:42.We were nothing to them, and we were just brushed aside.
:12:43. > :12:46.The trust wrote to them, saying they'd carried
:12:47. > :12:49.out an initial assessment but decided not to involve the family.
:12:50. > :12:51.An independent investigation has now been ordered.
:12:52. > :13:04.it will be over four years since Nico died.
:13:05. > :13:07.Today's report reveals significant widespread problems
:13:08. > :13:12.Last week, we obtained a leaked version of the report which said
:13:13. > :13:16.there were 1454 unexpected deaths over a four-year period.
:13:17. > :13:19.Of those, more than 1,100 were not investigated.
:13:20. > :13:21.But in today's published report, half of those deaths
:13:22. > :13:27.have been reclassified as expected death incidents.
:13:28. > :13:29.That still leaves over 700 unexpected deaths,
:13:30. > :13:35.of which 450 were never investigated.
:13:36. > :13:43.NHS England said it had approved complex to decide what was and was
:13:44. > :13:47.not an unexpected debt. They head of southern England met me today. The
:13:48. > :13:51.report says a failure of governance led to too few deaths being
:13:52. > :13:56.investigated. You must have considered resigning. Let me be
:13:57. > :14:01.clear, our board and myself are very clear that over this four year
:14:02. > :14:04.period which this report looks at our investigations and reporting
:14:05. > :14:09.processes, we are clear that we did not get it right. We have made a lot
:14:10. > :14:14.of improvements... Why are you not resigning? The buck stops with you,
:14:15. > :14:18.you have to take responsibility for the failures. We have made a lot of
:14:19. > :14:23.improvements already, and our nurses and doctors of a very compassionate
:14:24. > :14:27.end of life care to many people, they offer high quality services. So
:14:28. > :14:32.no resignations, but that does not been no change. The regulator will
:14:33. > :14:39.come here in the New Year and carry out an inspection. They are also
:14:40. > :14:43.going to carry out a broader piece of work looking at how deaths are
:14:44. > :14:46.investigated, because the fear is that the issues investigated yet may
:14:47. > :14:49.be more widespread across the system. NHS England said that
:14:50. > :14:54.Southern Health have lost the confidence of a number of families.
:14:55. > :14:58.Rebuilding trust after such scathing criticisms will require more time
:14:59. > :15:07.Jose Mourinho is sacked as Chelsea's BBC News, Southampton.
:15:08. > :15:09.manager after a disastrous start to the season.
:15:10. > :15:13.the Government's new plan to reshape our sporting future.
:15:14. > :15:15.And coming up on Reporting Scotland at 6.30:
:15:16. > :15:17.The Celtic and Rangers managers agree
:15:18. > :15:24.that expanding Scotland's top flight could benefit the game.
:15:25. > :15:26.And it may look like a dinky donkey derby,
:15:27. > :15:35.but it's actually the Grand National for Shetland ponies.
:15:36. > :15:38.More than 100,000 children could be facing Christmas in temporary
:15:39. > :15:41.accommodation - some in places like hostels and B -
:15:42. > :15:46.after a rise in the number of families asking for help
:15:47. > :15:50.Many of them have lost their homes after being evicted.
:15:51. > :15:52.The latest figures show that in September this year,
:15:53. > :15:56.almost 69,000 households in England were in temporary accommodation.
:15:57. > :16:00.That's 13% more than September last year.
:16:01. > :16:06.Jeremy Cooke has been to meet three families facing an uncertain future.
:16:07. > :16:14.The last moments before another family is made homeless.
:16:15. > :16:21.She and ten-year-old Ellie have packed their bags.
:16:22. > :16:23.But there's no real preparation for when the bailiff
:16:24. > :16:28.Did you need a photocopy of your eviction notice?
:16:29. > :16:34.And with that, quietly, they are out.
:16:35. > :16:41.Akoua, a full-time hospital cleaner, is inside for hours
:16:42. > :16:45.explaining how she couldn't afford the rent, had no tenancy agreement
:16:46. > :16:50.and so no housing benefit, but was finally evicted.
:16:51. > :16:53.Her support worker has seen it all before.
:16:54. > :16:56.Homelessness touches everybody, so it doesn't matter
:16:57. > :16:59.if you're working full time or if you are on benefits,
:17:00. > :17:01.the situation is if the landlord wants
:17:02. > :17:04.there's not very much you can do.
:17:05. > :17:12.Akoua is offered emergency overnight accommodation.
:17:13. > :17:18.Those evicted generally only qualify for help if they are vulnerable
:17:19. > :17:23.Across town, the Kara family know that
:17:24. > :17:30.Diresh and Jeilan and the three girls lost their home four years
:17:31. > :17:34.ago, and that began the miserable trail of temporary accommodation,
:17:35. > :17:40.We had to spend three nights in the car while they
:17:41. > :17:42.were investigating, you know, whether we were intentionally
:17:43. > :17:45.homeless, whether they had a duty of care, so we had nowhere
:17:46. > :17:52.Today's numbers say nearly 69,000 households in England now live
:17:53. > :17:58.The family here has been moved seven times.
:17:59. > :18:00.The stink of damp is everywhere
:18:01. > :18:05.A working family with an uncertain future.
:18:06. > :18:11.It is like waiting for life to begin, basically.
:18:12. > :18:13.You come home, every day you are thinking you will get
:18:14. > :18:16.a phone call saying we have to move next week.
:18:17. > :18:18.We don't have any fixtures on the wall, we don't put
:18:19. > :18:21.any pictures up, there is hardly anything in the front room,
:18:22. > :18:23.because you are always constantly ready for
:18:24. > :18:26.An acute shortage of social housing is
:18:27. > :18:31.a nationwide problem, a London crisis.
:18:32. > :18:34.When we spoke to Harrow Council, they were struggling to house 1,000
:18:35. > :18:39.families with only 35 available properties.
:18:40. > :18:44.It's a disastrous situation, we are having more and
:18:45. > :18:45.more numbers coming into the same situation
:18:46. > :18:51.The Council are doing the best job we possibly can to make sure
:18:52. > :18:53.these people have a roof over their heads, but it's not
:18:54. > :18:56.a home, it's a roof over their heads, and that's
:18:57. > :18:57.the trouble, because it is destroying communities
:18:58. > :19:06.Eviction levels are high and rising, up 30% in the last three years.
:19:07. > :19:08.And across London, yet another family is waiting
:19:09. > :19:21.I just don't want to move house or, like,
:19:22. > :19:26.I don't know which place I'm heading to.
:19:27. > :19:34.The housing charity Shelter says thousands of families will be
:19:35. > :19:38.and blames a chronic lack of affordable housing.
:19:39. > :19:42.The Government insists there will be more money to tackle the issue
:19:43. > :19:46.and that it's committed to helping the most vulnerable in society.

:20:19. > :20:25.Yes, this isn't a contest, it is a coronation, Arlene Foster will leave
:20:26. > :20:29.here is DUP leader. Her political career began after a childhood that

:21:53. > :21:58.But the new study is at odds with a report earlier this year

:22:08. > :22:11.There are choices we can all make to cut our risk of cancer,
:22:12. > :22:13.most importantly not smoking, having a balanced diet and not
:22:14. > :22:19.getting obese, and protecting our skin from sun damage.

:22:47. > :22:49.to know that my little boy won't really remember my mum

:23:18. > :23:22.between 70-90% of cases are the result of environmental

:23:44. > :23:47.There is an element of luck whether a person gets cancer or not.
:23:48. > :23:52.But if someone smokes or is exposed to other external factors,
:23:53. > :23:56.then that is like adding two or three more bullets to the gun

:24:25. > :24:27.That's a question the Government's still grappling with.

:24:45. > :24:46.of community sport in over a decade.
:24:47. > :24:47.Our Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall reports.
:24:48. > :24:50.A few miles from London's Olympic Park, the fight for the sporting
:24:51. > :24:58.The Sports Minister announced the biggest shakeup of community
:24:59. > :25:02.sport in over a decade, and a plan the Government hopes
:25:03. > :25:10.There are lots of groups that provide support to communities,
:25:11. > :25:13.where there are perhaps physical or learning difficulties, to older
:25:14. > :25:17.people's groups and we definitely want to encourage that in order to
:25:18. > :25:20.make sure we get more people physically active. Under the
:25:21. > :25:24.Government's plan, money will be diverted from national governing
:25:25. > :25:28.bodies, with more made available to charities and community groups, like
:25:29. > :25:32.this boxing club in north London. And this is what prompted the
:25:33. > :25:38.Government to act. Since 2012, the number of adults playing sport in
:25:39. > :25:42.England has fallen and for 5-10 -year-olds, it has dropped.
:25:43. > :25:46.Previously, Sport England supported those aged over 40 but to tackle the
:25:47. > :25:52.dip, the new strategy will look after children aged five and over
:25:53. > :25:56.outside of school -- aged 14. The battle to secure the legacy remains
:25:57. > :25:59.as tough as ever. Many were welcomed the announcement is a chance for the
:26:00. > :26:02.country to strengthen its relationship with sport while others
:26:03. > :26:07.will suggest the problems are partly the Government's own making. Cuts to
:26:08. > :26:10.local authority budgets and a decline in school sport have also
:26:11. > :26:15.been blamed for disappointing participation figures in the wake of
:26:16. > :26:18.London 2012. Many of our members rely on people being able to take
:26:19. > :26:22.part in their activities in local authority facilities, so if they are
:26:23. > :26:29.more expensive or there are fewer of them, it will make an impact. It is
:26:30. > :26:32.not just enter sports and leisure centres to get people fit, we all
:26:33. > :26:34.have a role to play and the individual has as well. The London
:26:35. > :26:38.Olympics were sold on a promise to inspire a generation. As those
:26:39. > :26:41.memories fade, now comes an attempt to revive its sporting legacy.
:26:42. > :26:51.Some or rather springlike scenes. The weather is ridiculous at the
:26:52. > :26:55.moment, isn't it? Weather watchers have been sending us pictures of
:26:56. > :26:58.daffodils, such as here in Oxfordshire and further north, we
:26:59. > :27:02.have cherry blossom, would you believe? It really is extremely mild
:27:03. > :27:06.for this time of the year. Temperatures today peaked in the
:27:07. > :27:13.south-east of London, London, 16 degrees. The average temperature
:27:14. > :27:18.nearer 7-9. We have some rain across East Anglia and the south-east, that
:27:19. > :27:22.will break and a few showers blown into Western areas. The brisk wind
:27:23. > :27:26.will continue but not a cold night. Not as warm as last night in the
:27:27. > :27:30.south but the most, temperatures remaining in double figures.
:27:31. > :27:33.Tomorrow, breaks in the cloud and tantalising glimpses of the Sun in
:27:34. > :27:37.the east before it clouds over and we see rain pushing into the
:27:38. > :27:41.northern half of the UK. Further south, a few showery bursts early
:27:42. > :27:47.on, across Wales and the south-west, may be fading into the Midlands but
:27:48. > :27:50.mostly dry. It will cloud over in East Anglia after some early
:27:51. > :27:54.sunshine. Some rain the northern England, chiefly the north-west, but
:27:55. > :27:57.it will be wet the most of the day across Northern Ireland, heavy rain
:27:58. > :28:00.into the South and West of Scotland, a couple of inches before it clears
:28:01. > :28:05.away and there will be more rain overnight. This weather front brings
:28:06. > :28:08.the first spell of rain, another one line set up overnight and then
:28:09. > :28:16.stumbles into England and Wales is weak head into Saturday. Saturday,
:28:17. > :28:19.the rain will continue in south-west England and Wales, the heaviest
:28:20. > :28:24.across South Wales. Either side of that, something a bit brighter,
:28:25. > :28:28.still very, very mild on Saturday, those temperatures across the board
:28:29. > :28:33.14 or 15 degrees. Maybe not quite as mild as that on Sunday, a blustery
:28:34. > :28:34.day, again it will be windy, some sunshine and some showers.
:28:35. > :28:37.Thank you. That's all from the BBC News at Six,
:28:38. > :28:40.so it's goodbye from me
