:00:07. > :00:08.Ministers plan the biggest shake-up in England and Wales
:00:09. > :00:13.We're inside Wandsworth - one of Europe's biggest prisons.
:00:14. > :00:14.Overcrowding, drugs, violence, corruption -
:00:15. > :00:23.They're so short staffed in here, this place can't run.
:00:24. > :00:29.Even a lot of the staff in here are in fear.
:00:30. > :00:32.And with good reason - prison officers tell us
:00:33. > :00:37.there just aren't enough of them and they're stressed.
:00:38. > :00:42.I think I am probably the most stressed that I have been
:00:43. > :00:47.We'll be hearing from the man in charge of the planned reforms,
:00:48. > :00:51.We'll have the rest of the Queen's Speech.
:00:52. > :00:55.Reaction is dominated by arguments over the EU referendum.
:00:56. > :00:59.We speak to the Hillsborough match commander -
:01:00. > :01:04.his first public comments since the inquests concluded.
:01:05. > :01:07.And a breakthrough in the dispute over junior doctors' contracts.

:01:13. > :01:14.Liverpool are getting ready for the Europa League final.
:01:15. > :01:37.They take on Sevilla in Basel later this evening.
:01:38. > :01:43.Hello and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
:01:44. > :01:45.A radical reform of the prison system in England and
:01:46. > :01:48.Wales was at the heart of the Queen's Speech today.
:01:49. > :01:50.Ministers are describing it as the biggest shake-up
:01:51. > :01:56.The legislation will pave the way for the first six reform prisons -
:01:57. > :01:58.places where governors will be given sweeping new powers.
:01:59. > :02:01.One of them is Wandsworth Prison, where the BBC has gained exclusive
:02:02. > :02:06.Our correspondent, Ed Thomas, has spent the last week there.
:02:07. > :02:08.He reports on a prison where drug-fuelled violence is rife
:02:09. > :02:32.This is Wandsworth. The BBC has been given unprecedented access inside a
:02:33. > :02:37.British jail. Over seven days we saw the fear and violence. There is one
:02:38. > :02:41.person under restraint. The wing looks secure. You have to defend
:02:42. > :02:46.yourself. If you can't defend yourself, you will become a victim.
:02:47. > :02:52.The drugs feeding addiction inside. Is it easy to get cannabis? It is,
:02:53. > :02:57.it is, it is. And the prison officers pushed to the very edge. I
:02:58. > :03:04.think I'm probably the most stressed I've been in 24 years in this job.
:03:05. > :03:16.Run! It's the second alarm of the day. A prisoner has refused to go
:03:17. > :03:21.back to his cell. 20 years ago the inmate in the middle of all of this
:03:22. > :03:25.murdered a man in a fight. This is his 38th jail. We can't identify
:03:26. > :03:29.him, but he told us he was trapped in a cycle of violence. I've had
:03:30. > :03:33.warfare with politics in jail. I've got sliced down the side of the
:03:34. > :03:41.face. Attacked by 15 people. Had me arm broke. Three broken bones in my
:03:42. > :03:45.hands. I said you are putting me in a predicament where I have no
:03:46. > :03:50.alternative but to utilise violence for my safety. They are so short
:03:51. > :03:56.staffed here, this place can't run, it's unsafe. Even the staff here are
:03:57. > :04:04.in fear. That smell of cannabis... Next B wing and the smell of
:04:05. > :04:09.cannabis is everywhere. It's overwhelming, especially up here.
:04:10. > :04:18.And here. And then we see it - a group smoking below us, in full
:04:19. > :04:23.view. No-one cares, there is no order. How do you feel about people
:04:24. > :04:28.smoking cannabis down there? Not good. There's going to be fights and
:04:29. > :04:32.that. The officers are just here. Where can you get cannabis from?
:04:33. > :04:41.Everyone. If you want some cannabis I can get you some. You can get some
:04:42. > :04:45.right now? Yeah. How do you feel hearing that? Obviously it is not
:04:46. > :04:50.good, it defeats everything we can trying to do as a service. You don't
:04:51. > :04:57.have to look far to find drugs in Wandsworth. Take Ashley, who has
:04:58. > :05:06.only just arrived. He says all drugs are available at all times. You can
:05:07. > :05:12.get spice, heroin, crack. Anything. All I've got to do is go down to the
:05:13. > :05:18.twos, the threes, the ones and its there. Anything you like. Then
:05:19. > :05:24.there's the alcohol brewed in cells. The spice, a synthetic legal high.
:05:25. > :05:33.These wraps are worth ?8,000. And the mobile phones too, all smuggled
:05:34. > :05:37.into Wandsworth. Smartphone, several hundred quid they go for retail
:05:38. > :05:42.price. Who brings those phones? Officers, other prisoners. This
:05:43. > :05:45.prisoner asked us not to show his face. He wanted to talk about
:05:46. > :05:49.corruption. Are you just saying that though? Of course I'm not just
:05:50. > :05:57.saying that. To get the officers in trouble. No, of course I'm not. They
:05:58. > :06:02.charge you ?500 a parcel, the size of, say, three tennis balls full of
:06:03. > :06:10.drugs, phones, whatever you want. Life in prison. The BBC was invited
:06:11. > :06:16.here to hear these stories, to see the pressure from a Governor who's
:06:17. > :06:20.demanding change. The one thing that I absolutely cannot stand, one of
:06:21. > :06:23.the things I want to do with reform is to think very carefully about how
:06:24. > :06:27.do we deal with those issues of corruption and what do we do to
:06:28. > :06:31.tackle the staff bringing those drugs in. That will deal with some
:06:32. > :06:36.of the issues you've highlighted and seen over the last week. But how
:06:37. > :06:42.long will this prison reform take? The pressure inside is building now,
:06:43. > :06:47.and ifs are getting hurt. At the moment he's been the victim of an
:06:48. > :06:51.assault. My wife worries that I'm not going to come home. If she
:06:52. > :06:57.could, she would have me out of the job. Wants worth has been Andy
:06:58. > :07:02.Topin's life. For him it cannot get any worse. It's because I care. I
:07:03. > :07:07.want to make a difference. I believe my staff want to make a difference.
:07:08. > :07:12.We are struggling. We haven't got the staff. What's happening to your
:07:13. > :07:17.mental health? I don't think people care about what's happening to my
:07:18. > :07:20.mental health. What is happening to your mental health? I think I'm
:07:21. > :07:26.probably the most stressed I've been in 24 years in this job. What's
:07:27. > :07:32.going to happen to you? If I'm like my colleagues I will retire and I
:07:33. > :07:39.will die early. Andy desperately needs reform now. This prison
:07:40. > :07:48.revolution, a promise to fix broken jails, and so many broken lives. Ed,
:07:49. > :07:49.people are going to be shocked by those pictures. I guess it shows us
:07:50. > :07:59.just how much reform is needed. Yes, George. This access is rare. To
:08:00. > :08:03.walk down these corridors, to go into the cells and speak to the
:08:04. > :08:09.inmates. But the Governor was determined to open up his jail to
:08:10. > :08:12.show poem what life was like inside a British prison and the need for
:08:13. > :08:18.change. Here they will lead this reform agenda. Here they say it's an
:08:19. > :08:21.opportunity like never before to rehabilitate, to reduce reoffending,
:08:22. > :08:27.and speak to the officers here. They will tell you that this matters,
:08:28. > :08:29.because right now too many lives are being wasted, lost inside a prison
:08:30. > :08:33.cell. Ed, thank you. Speaking to the BBC, Michael Gove,
:08:34. > :08:35.the Justice Secretary, has admitted there are big problems
:08:36. > :08:38.within the prison system and that some institutions in England
:08:39. > :08:42.and Wales are not fit for purpose. Labour has welcomed the proposals
:08:43. > :08:45.but said the Government had presided over a rise in the number
:08:46. > :08:48.of prisoners and a huge Our special correspondent,
:08:49. > :08:54.Lucy Manning, reports. What to do about prisons many say
:08:55. > :08:59.are overcrowded, underfunded, So he thinks his new autonomous
:09:00. > :09:03.jails will work. They will, I hope, be places
:09:04. > :09:06.of rehabilitation, order, But as gangs fight over the supply
:09:07. > :09:14.of drugs in Wandsworth's prison yard, it is clear they're a long way
:09:15. > :09:18.from that. And he doesn't shy away
:09:19. > :09:25.from a damning assessment. Your Chief Inspector of Prisons
:09:26. > :09:27.says some prisons are not fit Why do you think they're not
:09:28. > :09:33.fit for purpose? There are some prisons
:09:34. > :09:35.which are not safe enough. Not safe enough
:09:36. > :09:36.for prisoners or the dedicated staff
:09:37. > :09:40.who work in them. Related to that, there are some
:09:41. > :09:43.prisons simply not doing a good enough job in providing either
:09:44. > :09:45.education or employment He admits the increase in drugs
:09:46. > :09:51.and weapons is worrying. The startling footage of a drone
:09:52. > :09:54.flying in a package of highly addictive legal highs and phones
:09:55. > :09:59.into a prison cell is something the Justice Secretary saw when broadcast
:10:00. > :10:02.by the BBC this week. What did you make of what you saw
:10:03. > :10:07.from that footage? I thought the public will now
:10:08. > :10:10.realise one of the big problems We're taking action now to deal
:10:11. > :10:19.with the corruption that sometimes facilitates
:10:20. > :10:24.getting these drugs into prison. But critics complain
:10:25. > :10:28.there are too many people in jail So, part of Mr Gove's plan
:10:29. > :10:34.is allowing people out to work. That means the prisoners can spend
:10:35. > :10:39.time out of their cell and out of jail working for an employer,
:10:40. > :10:41.learning what responsibility means and preparing for a useful
:10:42. > :10:45.life on the outside. Will that be safe for
:10:46. > :10:47.the wider public? He admits the rise in suicide
:10:48. > :10:52.self-harm and violence could undermine his reforms but denies
:10:53. > :10:55.funding and staffing numbers But he accepts too many
:10:56. > :11:01.are re-offending. The whole point of having someone
:11:02. > :11:08.in prison, the whole point of spending as much as parents spend
:11:09. > :11:11.to send their kids to Eton on an individual every year,
:11:12. > :11:13.is to change their lives. if we leave them banged up for hours
:11:14. > :11:17.on end. It is only by transforming our
:11:18. > :11:19.prisons that we will make this country
:11:20. > :11:21.safer. That's why when people say,
:11:22. > :11:24.this is a soft agenda and you're coddling prisoners,
:11:25. > :11:28.they couldn't be more wrong. When you have drugs ordered in and
:11:29. > :11:31.lifted up and over the prison walls, Mr Gove knows them but can anything
:11:32. > :11:43.he does change them? So, as well as prison reform
:11:44. > :11:45.in England and Wales, the Government has been setting out
:11:46. > :11:47.the rest of its plans There were 21 bills in all,
:11:48. > :11:51.including a shake-up of the adoption system,
:11:52. > :11:54.plans to get money back from foreign visitors using the NHS,
:11:55. > :11:58.and a legal right to fast broadband. But, as our political editor
:11:59. > :12:00.Laura Kuenssberg reports, the day has been overshadowed by arguments
:12:01. > :12:19.within the Conservative Party over The show must go on. And what a
:12:20. > :12:23.show. However uncertain, the next five, however divided the governing
:12:24. > :12:30.party, the gold shines as brightly as ever, the beat of the drum
:12:31. > :12:38.unchanged. The Crown, that symbol of power so precious it has its own
:12:39. > :12:47.carriage. Arriving first to be ready for the royal head. Then her
:12:48. > :12:52.procession. On the 63rd occasion, the Queen proclaiming her
:12:53. > :13:03.Government's plans. CHEERING. For the first time at 90
:13:04. > :13:12.the monarch taking the lift. A different route into the Royal
:13:13. > :13:17.Robing Room before the main event. This moment this year unique. Maybe
:13:18. > :13:21.uniquely awkward. The Labour leader's first time at the front.
:13:22. > :13:28.The Tory leader knows it just might be his last. So the proposals,
:13:29. > :13:33.Ministers on both sides of the EU debate want you to think they're
:13:34. > :13:38.still thinking about us all. My Government will use the opportunity
:13:39. > :13:43.of a strengthening economy to deliver security for working people,
:13:44. > :13:47.to increase life chances for the most disadvantaged. In these most
:13:48. > :13:54.gilded of surroundings a plan for some of the worst. My Government
:13:55. > :13:59.will elect to reform prisons and courts to give individuals a second
:14:00. > :14:04.chance. There are plans to speed up adoptions and more support for
:14:05. > :14:08.children in care. An education bill, with more academies in England and
:14:09. > :14:13.new universities too, and a sugar tax on soft drinks. The Prime
:14:14. > :14:18.Minister believes these plans show his ambition to help people politics
:14:19. > :14:21.has forgotten, a one-nation Government, a claim his opponents
:14:22. > :14:26.firmly reject. Reject. There'll be new laws to tackle extremism and
:14:27. > :14:31.propose extra powers for the security services. Services. Awkward
:14:32. > :14:36.for Labour, a bill to renew Trident, the nuclear weapons system. But look
:14:37. > :14:40.who's watching, look who's waiting with. The referendum hangs over it
:14:41. > :14:45.all. My Government will hold a referendum on membership of the
:14:46. > :14:49.European Union. And that is precisely the point. Today hasn't
:14:50. > :14:54.been short on ceremony. These occasions never are. But now the
:14:55. > :14:58.Queen's headed back up to the Palace, in terms of brand-new ideas
:14:59. > :15:02.it all feels rather empty. The referendum has put strain on the
:15:03. > :15:08.Government, so it has avoided anything too controversial. Some of
:15:09. > :15:12.the previous tricky ideas have actually disappeared. There was no
:15:13. > :15:17.sign of a sovereignty bill, to appease those who want to leave the
:15:18. > :15:21.EU, and only vague proposals for a British Bill of Rights to replace
:15:22. > :15:26.the Human Rights Act. What's happening as a result of this is a
:15:27. > :15:30.Government agenda has been parked, or even dropped. That seems to me
:15:31. > :15:36.not to be the right thing to do. David Cameron was sticking to his
:15:37. > :15:39.script This is a Queen's Speech that combines economic security with
:15:40. > :15:44.extending life chances for all. It's the Queen's Speech of a progressive
:15:45. > :15:49.one-nation Conservative Government. Jeremy Corbyn was far from
:15:50. > :15:54.impressed. Whether you're in or out of the EU, the main obstacle holding
:15:55. > :15:59.back to people of this country is not the EU but that Conservative
:16:00. > :16:03.Government. When the Prime Minister talks about this being a one-nation
:16:04. > :16:09.Queen's Speech we on these benches know which nation he is talking
:16:10. > :16:13.about. These are strange times in Westminster. Parliament's most
:16:14. > :16:19.significant event of the year might be soon forgotten. But perhaps
:16:20. > :16:24.moments of big political risk require small ambition.
:16:25. > :16:26.And if you would like more details on all the measures
:16:27. > :16:29.in the Queen's Speech, there are full details on our

:17:03. > :17:18.He'd be the youngest batsman ever to the landmark.
:17:19. > :17:21.Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield was match commander
:17:22. > :17:25.as the Hillsborough disaster unfolded in April 1989.
:17:26. > :17:29.The inquests into the tragedy found that his actions led to the unlawful

:17:46. > :17:48.David Duckenfield was on a family visit to the United States.
:17:49. > :17:50.The BBC, like other news organisations,
:17:51. > :17:53.have made repeated requests to talk to the retired officer
:17:54. > :17:56.following the inquest's verdict last month.
:17:57. > :18:08.due to the ongoing criminal inquiries, I am unable to comment.
:18:09. > :18:12.Do you have any message for the families?
:18:13. > :18:15.I've said what I have to say at the moment.
:18:16. > :18:22.It was last month that the families of the 96 fans who died at
:18:23. > :18:27.Hillsborough showed a jubilant sense of relief at the end of the inquest.
:18:28. > :18:31.The jury concluded those who lost their lives were unlawfully killed.
:18:32. > :18:36.David Duckenfield had been the match commander and the inquest
:18:37. > :18:41.found him responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence.
:18:42. > :18:46.He made what many families say was a belated apology at the inquest.
:18:47. > :18:49.When I was at the coroner's court in Warrington, I gave a message.
:18:50. > :18:55.But Mr Duckenfield knows the families want him to answer more
:18:56. > :19:03.The Crown Prosecution Service has yet to make a decision on that.
:19:04. > :19:07.But 27 years after this tragedy, David Duckenfield is aware
:19:08. > :19:12.the inquest is unlikely to be his final involvement in Hillsborough.
:19:13. > :19:15.They believe both he and South Yorkshire Police

:19:59. > :20:00.The latest talks, lasting ten days, have been taking place
:20:01. > :20:17.Do we have the details of this deal? George, we do. Let's remember,
:20:18. > :20:23.discussions over this contract began three years ago. Then a dispute
:20:24. > :20:27.erupted over it last autumn. We've had several strikes in hospitals in
:20:28. > :20:32.England with junior doctors walking out. Over 35,000 operations and
:20:33. > :20:35.procedures cancelled. Today, we have agreement between the Government and
:20:36. > :20:40.the British Medical Association. That's a really big step forward
:20:41. > :20:44.given how far apart they were even just a couple of weeks ago. The
:20:45. > :20:48.Government feels it's got one of the key things it wanted it from this
:20:49. > :20:52.new contract which was the principle you wouldn't automatically get more
:20:53. > :20:56.pay as a doctor for working at weekends. They also say it will be
:20:57. > :21:01.about a third less expensive for hospitals to bring doctors in at
:21:02. > :21:05.weekends. The BMA say actually, a very large number of doctors working
:21:06. > :21:12.more weekends than others will get premium pay at weekends. The BMA was
:21:13. > :21:15.also keen to remove areas of the previous draft contract felt to be
:21:16. > :21:20.discriminatory against women. That's been achieved in this contract.
:21:21. > :21:24.There will be better provisions for women returning from maternity leave
:21:25. > :21:29.getting back on to the career progression ladder. They've agreed
:21:30. > :21:30.it. It now goes to a vote of all junior doctors across England for
:21:31. > :21:32.their final say. Thank you. After a week of political wrangling

:23:13. > :23:14.any fans who turned up without a ticket?
:23:15. > :23:23.Basel has set up fan zones, which it hopes will accomodate everyone.

:26:18. > :26:25.The most important feelings or thoughts or opinions I've had

:26:57. > :27:01.Time for a look at the weather. Here's Tomasz Schafernaker.
:27:02. > :27:08.Didn't the heavens open today? It was so wet. I had the raincoat on,
:27:09. > :27:11.the brolly was out. There's still hit and miss downpours around the
:27:12. > :27:16.country this evening. A little later on, they'll start to fade away.
:27:17. > :27:20.There will be fewer of them. We'll start to see drier weather coming
:27:21. > :27:25.from the west. The lumpy clouds you can see here, these are the showers,
:27:26. > :27:28.heavy downpours in places. They've occurred from southern parts through
:27:29. > :27:34.Northern England to the low lands of Scotland. By the time we get to the
:27:35. > :27:38.latter part of this evening, it starts to quieten down. We develop
:27:39. > :27:42.mist over the country. First thing tomorrow morning, it will turn out
:27:43. > :27:47.to be fairly cloudy. Quite murky for a time before that sunshine breaks
:27:48. > :27:51.through the cloud. Tomorrow, a bit of a west/east split. We've sunshine
:27:52. > :27:55.across many eastern and southern areas eventually. A little on the
:27:56. > :27:58.hazy side. But also we've the rain sweeping off the Atlantic to affect
:27:59. > :28:05.south-western parts of England and Wales. Particularly around Cumbria
:28:06. > :28:09.and south western and central parts of Scotland. A mix of weather
:28:10. > :28:13.tomorrow. As far as Friday's concerned, it looks pretty
:28:14. > :28:17.unsettled. Low pressure close by. Unsettled doesn't mean it will be
:28:18. > :28:21.raining all the time, just the weather changing a fair bit from
:28:22. > :28:25.hour to hour perhaps across some areas. The west will have rain at
:28:26. > :28:28.times in the afternoon. Eastern parts on Friday, the end of the
:28:29. > :28:33.working week, looking fine. 20 in London. 16 in Newcastle with some
:28:34. > :28:36.sunshine. Yesterday, we hinted the weekend is looking very unsettled
:28:37. > :28:40.with a Natesy area of low pressure coming through. At the moment, it
:28:41. > :28:44.looks like there is some rain on the way. It will splash through on
:28:45. > :28:48.Friday night. The best advice at this stage, there will be some
:28:49. > :28:52.sunshine this weekend. A bit of rain, a bit of a breeze. Keep the
:28:53. > :28:54.brolly to hand just in case. Thank you.
:28:55. > :28:57.That's all from the BBC News at Six. It's goodbye from me.
:28:58. > :29:02.And on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
