The mental health care failures in England that have led

:00:07.:00:08.

A new report says three out of four people with mental illness

:00:09.:00:14.

The government is under pressure to take action.

:00:15.:00:19.

We've not done enough to end the stigma of mental health.

:00:20.:00:21.

We've focused on physical health and have not as a country,

:00:22.:00:24.

as a nation, focused on mental health.

:00:25.:00:29.

The father who lost a son to mental illness.

:00:30.:00:34.

He wants to save other families from the same

:00:35.:00:42.

As a father there are no words to describe how one feels

:00:43.:00:43.

when your son's coffin enters the church.

:00:44.:00:49.

In a week of special reports, we'll be turning the spotlight

:00:50.:00:53.

on the untold story of Britain's mental health crisis.

:00:54.:00:57.

Also on the programme: Another victim of the Syrian war.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:28.:01:51.

Thousands of unnecessary deaths and chronic underinvestment.

:01:52.:01:55.

That's how an independent review sums up the state of mental health

:01:56.:01:58.

Here's just one fact from the report.

:01:59.:02:02.

Three quarters of mentally ill people receive no support at all.

:02:03.:02:05.

The government has accepted the report's findings

:02:06.:02:13.

And we will have more on that in a moment.

:02:14.:02:24.

The Prime Minister has told the BBC that he wants to see mental

:02:25.:02:27.

illness receive the same attention within the NHS as physical illness.

:02:28.:02:30.

Our first report tonight is from our Health Editor,

:02:31.:02:32.

When this recording was made of Edward Mallen at the piano,

:02:33.:02:35.

nobody could imagine it would be played at

:02:36.:02:37.

Aged 18, he was due to go to Cambridge University

:02:38.:02:41.

Feeling suicidal, he had sought help, and was sent

:02:42.:02:44.

away with pills and websites to check.

:02:45.:02:46.

His father Steve wrote to the Prime Minister shortly

:02:47.:02:49.

after Edward's death a year ago, saying

:02:50.:02:53.

As a father, there are no words to describe...

:02:54.:03:01.

How one feels when your son's coffin enters the church.

:03:02.:03:05.

While you are listening to his accomplished notes waft

:03:06.:03:09.

It is very clear here that we have a completely broken

:03:10.:03:12.

This is not about a system that needs a slight reform

:03:13.:03:16.

This is about a fundamental process that we as a society have not got

:03:17.:03:21.

Thousands of stories like this helped inform the taskforce report,

:03:22.:03:27.

It says there are thousands of tragic and unnecessary

:03:28.:03:31.

One of the reasons is chronic underinvestment in mental

:03:32.:03:37.

Three quarters of people with mental health problems received

:03:38.:03:40.

The head of NHS England told me the system needs to improve.

:03:41.:03:46.

The NHS wants to and needs to up our game when it comes

:03:47.:03:51.

This is not something that can be done overnight but we clearly

:03:52.:03:55.

want to expand the range of treatments for children,

:03:56.:03:58.

for pregnant mums, for people at times

:03:59.:04:01.

Heading off potential problems facing young people is part

:04:02.:04:06.

Early intervention is seen by the taskforce as a priority.

:04:07.:04:12.

That is getting teenagers like these to talk openly about their emotional

:04:13.:04:16.

well-being and to identify and discuss mental health challenges

:04:17.:04:20.

which they and their friends may face.

:04:21.:04:24.

Think about physical health and emotional and mental health.

:04:25.:04:31.

This school in West Sussex is using a programme devised

:04:32.:04:34.

by the Samaritans as part of the regular

:04:35.:04:36.

I specifically know what people can actually go through and how hard

:04:37.:04:42.

I think now I would be able to support

:04:43.:04:46.

someone who is going through something.

:04:47.:04:48.

It talked us through how everyone reacts differently to mental

:04:49.:04:51.

illnesses and how they can quite often become undetected.

:04:52.:04:54.

There are not significant things that you

:04:55.:04:55.

will be able to spot in every person.

:04:56.:04:58.

The report's action plan, now adopted by NHS England,

:04:59.:05:01.

includes 1 million more people being treated

:05:02.:05:03.

by 2020, 24/7 crisis support at A units and hospitals and increased

:05:04.:05:08.

access to talking therapies including counselling.

:05:09.:05:13.

The Scottish Government says there will be major

:05:14.:05:15.

investment in mental health over the next four years.

:05:16.:05:18.

In Wales more is spent on mental health than any

:05:19.:05:20.

other part of the NHS, according to a spokesman.

:05:21.:05:23.

While a Northern Ireland Executive spokesman said there had

:05:24.:05:26.

been higher investment in a range of therapies.

:05:27.:05:30.

For Steve Mallen the new plan for England is welcome but it can

:05:31.:05:32.

only be judged if it is delivered in full.

:05:33.:05:37.

What we have to be sure here is that this does not turn

:05:38.:05:40.

into some sort of Orwellian rhetoric where the government are always

:05:41.:05:43.

announcing ever bigger numbers and ever more initiatives and yet

:05:44.:05:46.

the experience of real people in real

:05:47.:05:48.

schools in real families in real communities is not changing

:05:49.:05:51.

The report's ambitions have been widely praised

:05:52.:05:55.

but no one is denying that putting mental health at the same level

:05:56.:05:58.

as physical health care could take some

:05:59.:06:00.

Well, all this week we'll be taking a close look at mental health

:06:01.:06:20.

in a season of programmes for BBC One called in the mind.

:06:21.:06:23.

This morning my colleague Fiona Bruce went to talk

:06:24.:06:25.

to the Prime Minister about the findings in today's report.

:06:26.:06:27.

Let's talk about today's task force report, Prime Minister.

:06:28.:06:29.

Inadequate provision, worsening outcomes, increase

:06:30.:06:31.

in the number of people committing suicide.

:06:32.:06:37.

That is the verdict of the taskforce on mental health since

:06:38.:06:39.

Why have you allowed this to happen since you have been Prime Minister?

:06:40.:06:44.

It is a very powerful report and it shows how much more we need to do.

:06:45.:06:47.

We have not done enough to end the stigma of mental

:06:48.:06:55.

We have focused a lot on physical health.

:06:56.:06:57.

We haven't as a country, as a nation, focused enough

:06:58.:07:01.

Let's talk about a specific case which I know you are aware of,

:07:02.:07:05.

which is the case of Ed Mallen, the son of

:07:06.:07:07.

His 18-year-old son presented as a clear

:07:08.:07:10.

suicide risk, was given a strip of pills and a couple of website

:07:11.:07:14.

addresses, and very shortly afterwards he took his own life.

:07:15.:07:16.

Can you pledge that by the end of your tenure as Prime Minister

:07:17.:07:19.

there will not be a lack of care for young people

:07:20.:07:22.

Of course I cannot pledge that there will not be tragic

:07:23.:07:25.

events like that because there will be, but...

:07:26.:07:27.

It is the lack of care I am talking about.

:07:28.:07:29.

What I can pledge is that we are going to expand,

:07:30.:07:33.

for example, the talking therapies, which I think

:07:34.:07:35.

have been so valuable for so many people.

:07:36.:07:37.

Three quarters of a million more people already accessing talking

:07:38.:07:41.

For the first time ever waiting lists, waiting times,

:07:42.:07:44.

If for instance you have psychosis you should get treatment

:07:45.:07:47.

When you say two weeks, the average waiting time for a child

:07:48.:07:53.

to get access to therapy is 32 weeks.

:07:54.:07:55.

It is far too long, and that is why we are putting in the money.

:07:56.:08:00.

Not just money, it is also saying, let's have...

:08:01.:08:02.

We are very familiar with waiting time targets

:08:03.:08:03.

You should not have to wait longer than 18 weeks

:08:04.:08:07.

We are now doing that for mental health as well.

:08:08.:08:13.

The taskforce report recommends that no

:08:14.:08:15.

one should have to wait longer than two weeks to access

:08:16.:08:17.

Can you pledge that that will happen?

:08:18.:08:20.

We can only pledge what we can afford.

:08:21.:08:22.

I do not know if I can make that specific pledge and I do not

:08:23.:08:26.

want to say something on your programme that

:08:27.:08:28.

Let us talk about another recommendation

:08:29.:08:33.

of the taskforce report, which is to end the situation

:08:34.:08:35.

where children and adults are sent out of the local

:08:36.:08:38.

area, sometimes hundreds of miles, to get to an acute psychiatric bed

:08:39.:08:40.

The taskforce report recommends that that

:08:41.:08:43.

At the moment people are having to travel too far.

:08:44.:08:53.

If you look at children and their mental health bed

:08:54.:08:57.

provision there is more bed provision than there has been

:08:58.:08:58.

in the past, but we are also seeing frankly

:08:59.:09:01.

more children presenting with mental health problems.

:09:02.:09:05.

If you look for instance at eating disorders,

:09:06.:09:08.

we have seen a big increase in those,

:09:09.:09:10.

so extra money and extra work needs to be done.

:09:11.:09:12.

We accept what is in the report and we have to work out

:09:13.:09:15.

if we have the resources necessary to

:09:16.:09:17.

I am slightly puzzled because I have put two of the recommendations

:09:18.:09:21.

in the report to you and you say you accept the recommendations

:09:22.:09:24.

but what are you actually going to do?

:09:25.:09:26.

Which of these pledges are you going to

:09:27.:09:28.

We are going to spend ?1 billion extra per year over the coming

:09:29.:09:32.

period in order to deliver 1 million more treatments.

:09:33.:09:35.

We are going to go through this report and as we respond we will be

:09:36.:09:39.

able to see exactly which of the recommendations

:09:40.:09:41.

We want to end the stigma of mental health

:09:42.:09:45.

We want to ensure the parity of esteem that we have

:09:46.:09:50.

all talked about that previous governments have not been able

:09:51.:09:54.

David Cameron there talking to Fiona Bruce.

:09:55.:09:58.

There are more details on our special website.

:09:59.:10:03.

That's bbc.co.uk/in the mind, including information

:10:04.:10:05.

about where you can find help if you've been affected.

:10:06.:10:18.

:10:19.:10:21.

International diplomats are hoping for a pause in the fighting in Syria

:10:22.:10:23.

by the end of this week, but there's little sign of it today.

:10:24.:10:27.

The charity Doctors without Borders says two medical facilities have

:10:28.:10:30.

been hit in the north of the country.

:10:31.:10:31.

They are both in an area where Syrian forces and their Russian

:10:32.:10:34.

allies have been carrying out bombing raids.

:10:35.:10:35.

Here's our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins.

:10:36.:10:41.

Monday morning in north-east Syria. Rescue workers scramble over the

:10:42.:10:48.

rubble of a hospital hit by missiles, to rescue any survivors

:10:49.:10:53.

they can find. Russia has been widely blamed. It has been bombing

:10:54.:10:58.

intensively to try to win the area back for president Assad. Hospital

:10:59.:11:04.

was completely destroyed. We have had at least seven deaths among

:11:05.:11:10.

personnel and patients and at least eight people have disappeared.

:11:11.:11:16.

Further north, missiles hit a children's hospital and a school

:11:17.:11:20.

apparently sheltering refugees fleeing the joint Russian and silly

:11:21.:11:25.

and offensive. This is only a few miles from the border with Turkey

:11:26.:11:34.

which is opposed to the action -- Syrian. All the talk over the

:11:35.:11:42.

weekend in Munich involving Russia and the United States was about

:11:43.:11:45.

achieving a cessation of hostilities. That is not a

:11:46.:11:51.

ceasefire. A cessation does not apply to their bombing campaigns.

:11:52.:11:57.

Moscow sees pretty much anyone fighting against Syria's President

:11:58.:12:01.

Assad as a legitimate target, no distinction is drawn in the Kremlin

:12:02.:12:06.

between fighters for so-called Islamic State and these anti-Assad

:12:07.:12:10.

rebels who are supported by the west, though it is hard to see the

:12:11.:12:14.

five year war being anywhere near close to an end. The Russians can

:12:15.:12:18.

end this if they want to. They can make this work by scaling back their

:12:19.:12:23.

bombing and redirecting it against the real terrorists rather than

:12:24.:12:27.

bombing the moderate opposition. Russia shows no sign of changing

:12:28.:12:31.

course and is embroiled in a hotter and hotter war of words with Syria's

:12:32.:12:37.

neighbour Turkey. Washington is urging cooler heads but on the

:12:38.:12:41.

ground there is nothing positive to point to.

:12:42.:12:46.

The British Airline Pilots' Association is urging the government

:12:47.:12:48.

to classify lasers as offensive weapons.

:12:49.:12:50.

It comes after a laser was shone into the cockpit

:12:51.:12:52.

of a Virgin Atlantic flight to New York last night,

:12:53.:12:55.

Sophie Long joins us from Heathrow Airport.

:12:56.:13:04.

This time yesterday people were about to board a flight to New York.

:13:05.:13:11.

They have still not reached their destination. They are en route and

:13:12.:13:15.

police are trying to find the person responsible for causing the delay

:13:16.:13:21.

and the potential damage to a pilot's site. -- eyesight.

:13:22.:13:34.

But this Virgin Atlantic Airbus should have been resting

:13:35.:13:39.

contacted air-traffic control and told them one of the pilots

:13:40.:13:43.

We have a medical issue with one of the pilots

:13:44.:13:47.

after a laser incident after take-off and we are going

:13:48.:13:49.

The pilot's union said those targeting aircraft may not know how

:13:50.:13:54.

Initially it is bright flashing and you can get shadows

:13:55.:13:56.

and you are obviously distracted, because you are not expecting it.

:13:57.:14:00.

These laser attacks are the same as being attacked with

:14:01.:14:03.

The distraction these can cause at the critical phase of flight,

:14:04.:14:11.

Virgin Atlantic said the flight was brought back to Heathrow

:14:12.:14:28.

In 2006, eight laser attacks were reported to the Civil

:14:29.:14:35.

Balpa say that 50% of the 870 pilot surveyed last year said

:14:36.:14:52.

One reason for the surge is the greater availability

:14:53.:14:56.

Internally if these are used they become far too bright,

:14:57.:15:00.

the eyes are upset and people will look away.

:15:01.:15:03.

So there really is not an application internally for these.

:15:04.:15:07.

Outside, again, other than to try to deliberately blind

:15:08.:15:11.

someone if you are targeting people, there is no

:15:12.:15:13.

It is an offence to shine a light at an aircraft

:15:14.:15:20.

Balpa are calling for it to be made more serious.

:15:21.:15:25.

They say carrying a laser as strong as the one needed to ground this

:15:26.:15:29.

plane is the same as possessing an offensive weapon and they want

:15:30.:15:32.

Our top story this evening: An independent review's found three

:15:33.:15:47.

quarters of people with mental health problems receive no support

:15:48.:15:52.

at all. Still to come: The secret letters that revealed Pope John Paul

:15:53.:15:55.

II's long and intense friendship with a married woman.

:15:56.:15:59.

The dangers caused to pilots by laser pens; a senior helicopter

:16:00.:16:02.

pilot in the Highlands says he wants tougher controls.

:16:03.:16:06.

And, the new manager of struggling Kilmarnock says he's aiming

:16:07.:16:10.

Air pollution has been linked to tens of thousands of deaths

:16:11.:16:23.

But when travelling across a city, what is the best way to avoid

:16:24.:16:28.

the cocktail of chemicals in the air in your car or out on the street?

:16:29.:16:32.

The Smog-mobile is a new air quality vehicle which can for the first time

:16:33.:16:35.

measure nitrogen dioxide a key polluting gas while on the move.

:16:36.:16:38.

Our Medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, has taken a trip

:16:39.:16:42.

Some pollution from vehicle exhausts like the sooty particles you can

:16:43.:16:48.

see, but the fumes from the gas nitrogen dioxide, NO2 are invisible

:16:49.:16:54.

NO2, ozone particles and greenhouse gases.

:16:55.:17:07.

Crucially, it can compare air quality outside the van

:17:08.:17:11.

We took it for a drive around some of London's most congested streets.

:17:12.:17:20.

As the smog-mobile is electric, unlike most other vehicles,

:17:21.:17:23.

Sitting inside your vehicle driving through city streets,

:17:24.:17:30.

you might think that you're pretty well protected against the dangers

:17:31.:17:33.

On our trip, pollution levels were no lower inside the vehicle

:17:34.:17:41.

with the windows closed than outside.

:17:42.:17:44.

And on a previous journey, the smog-mobile recorded NO2 levels

:17:45.:17:49.

20% higher inside, although the reasons

:17:50.:17:52.

pollution, you can't see it, smell it, taste it in stark contrast

:17:53.:18:03.

to the 1950s with the smog and pea soupers.

:18:04.:18:06.

NEWSREEL: Special filtering masks are the latest weapons devised

:18:07.:18:11.

to combat smog which last winter killed 4,000 Londoners

:18:12.:18:15.

Dogs can be protected against the fumes which throw

:18:16.:18:21.

a heavy ball across the cities every year...

:18:22.:18:23.

The air we breathe is far cleaner than half a century ago,

:18:24.:18:27.

but the dangers of air pollution are now better understood and it's

:18:28.:18:33.

linked to tens of thousands of deaths every year in the UK.

:18:34.:18:37.

As well as respiratory effects, there are cardiovascular effects

:18:38.:18:41.

on mental health and child development.

:18:42.:18:45.

The urgency around this issue is becoming much greater.

:18:46.:18:48.

By January 8th this year, parts of London had already breached

:18:49.:18:53.

Although some car filters will offer more protection than others,

:18:54.:19:00.

cycling and walking may be better for your health, the environment

:19:01.:19:04.

David Cameron is in Paris for a hastily arranged meeting with

:19:05.:19:23.

Francois Hollande about the proposed reforms to Britain's relaceship with

:19:24.:19:26.

the EU. The President of the Council, Donald Tusk, has warned of

:19:27.:19:31.

a risk that the EU could break up if the UK decides to lead. Ben Wright

:19:32.:19:34.

is our Political Correspondent. By the looks of it, he's under pressure

:19:35.:19:39.

from all sides, David Cameron? He is, yes. David Cameron arrived

:19:40.:19:45.

here a few minutes ago on this last-minute dash to Paris, proof

:19:46.:19:47.

that the deal is not yet done and, as you said, the President of the

:19:48.:19:51.

European Council, Donald Tusk, said within the last hour that the

:19:52.:19:54.

negotiations were at a critical moment. There's one issue in

:19:55.:19:57.

particular that France is fretting about, that's the future of

:19:58.:20:00.

financial regulation. Britain is very concerned that as the eurozone

:20:01.:20:03.

integrates further, it could lose out as a country that has the pound

:20:04.:20:07.

that is outside the euro. It wants new mechanisms and rules put in

:20:08.:20:10.

place. France is worried that Britain is looking for a competitive

:20:11.:20:13.

advantage and might threaten the single market. It's a very

:20:14.:20:17.

contentious part of this negotiation and, as far as both countries are

:20:18.:20:20.

concerned, a very important one too. That is probably what they are

:20:21.:20:23.

talking about here. If there is a deal though in Brussels at the end

:20:24.:20:27.

of this week, we learnt today there is likely to be a Cabinet meeting on

:20:28.:20:31.

Friday afternoon, now that is important, it's something that

:20:32.:20:34.

Euro-sceptic Tories have been demanding because effectively that's

:20:35.:20:36.

the moment they can start to speak out and it's the moment that the

rash of shower cloud filtering in off the North Sea and some of the

:26:58.:27:04.

showers have had a wintry flavour. Most of the showers should start to

fade away over the next few hours, high pressure dominating through the

night. Clear skies, patchy freezing fog likely across perhaps the far

south-east, but wind and rain gathers into the north-west, a

:27:18.:27:20.

different story here. Staying frost free to the extreme north-west, a

hard frost is likely though elsewhere, as temperatures could

fall down to minus six or seven. It will be a glorious start to the

day despite the frost. Lovely spells of sunshine. The cloud, wind and

knocking on the door. All this means we are going to see some rain. But

the question is, will we see some snow? Potentially to higher ground

light dusting but we'll keep an eye on the weather on Wednesday. However

you look at it, the weather front underneath that cloud and snow, it

will be a particularly miserable Wednesday I'm afraid.
