:00:16. > :00:17.More than 2000 people died after being given blood products

:00:18. > :00:20.in the 70s and 80s contaminated with HIV and hepatitis C.

:00:21. > :00:22.They deserve to be told what went wrong, why it went wrong

:00:23. > :00:26.and who is responsible for what happened.

:00:27. > :00:30.Andy Evans, who was infected when he was five and

:00:31. > :00:35.diagnosed with AIDS at 16 - he's campaigned for this for years.

:00:36. > :00:37.At the very minimum we were let down.

:00:38. > :00:41.At the worst, I think there are people to blame for a lot of the

:00:42. > :00:48.We'll be asking why it's taken so long to bring about this inquiry

:00:49. > :00:54.President Trump's son releases e-mails appearing to show

:00:55. > :00:56.he was offered information on Hillary Clinton as part

:01:21. > :01:23.for more to be done to protect the rights of people

:01:24. > :01:29.And Johanna Konta is making her bid to become the first British woman

:01:30. > :01:53.to reach a Wimbledon semi final in almost 40 years.

:01:54. > :01:55.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:56. > :01:58.An appalling tragedy that should never have happened -

:01:59. > :02:00.that's what the Prime Minister called the contaminated blood

:02:01. > :02:06.The government today announced an inquiry into the worst treatment

:02:07. > :02:14.At least 2,400 people died and 7,500 patients were infected with viruses

:02:15. > :02:18.such as hepatitis C and HIV, after being given blood

:02:19. > :02:31.It's been called the worst disaster in the history of the NHS.

:02:32. > :02:35.Patients trusted the service to deliver safe treatments,

:02:36. > :02:38.including haemophiliacs needing blood clotting treatments,

:02:39. > :02:43.but they were given products tainted with life-threatening viruses.

:02:44. > :02:50.I take one of those in the morning and one of these, both

:02:51. > :02:54.Andy has had a life on medication because he was given

:02:55. > :02:58.At the age of five, he was infected with HIV and hepatitis C.

:02:59. > :03:06.Since then, all he is wanted is answers.

:03:07. > :03:08.I'm very worried there was deliberate acts

:03:09. > :03:13.At the very minimum, we were let down.

:03:14. > :03:16.At the worst, I think there are people to blame for a lot

:03:17. > :03:24.Much of the enquiry is focused on Whitehall and what was happening

:03:25. > :03:29.Victims and their families have long argued that senior government

:03:30. > :03:35.officials were aware of the dangers with contaminated blood

:03:36. > :03:38.products and allowed patients to continue receiving them.

:03:39. > :03:43.And after that, they say, there was a cover-up.

:03:44. > :03:45.A Scottish enquiry by a Judge Lord Penrose,

:03:46. > :03:48.was dismissed by victims as a waste of time and they showed

:03:49. > :03:52.An earlier enquiry in England was privately funded

:03:53. > :03:57.Today, a Labour MP who's campaigned on the issue told the Commons those

:03:58. > :04:00.affected by the scandal were owed a debt of justice.

:04:01. > :04:03.They deserve to be told what went wrong.

:04:04. > :04:08.Why it went wrong and who is responsible for what happened.

:04:09. > :04:11.The story of the injustice they have suffered also needs to be set out

:04:12. > :04:19.And a minister citing allegations that medical records were tampered

:04:20. > :04:28.In light of these concerns, and a report of new evidence

:04:29. > :04:32.and allegations of potential criminality, we think

:04:33. > :04:35.it is important to understand the extent of what is claimed

:04:36. > :04:47.The former Health Secretary, Andy Burnham, who alleged

:04:48. > :04:49.there was a criminal cover-up says victims were failed

:04:50. > :04:54.All political parties have let down those who've suffered as a result

:04:55. > :04:57.And all parties must now put differences aside,

:04:58. > :04:59.work together and give them truth and justice without any further

:05:00. > :05:07.And for this campaigner, who has hepatitis C,

:05:08. > :05:09.there's only one thing which really matters.

:05:10. > :05:12.Nobody here is going away, we are staying, we're going to fight

:05:13. > :05:21.Whether that full truth emerges after this long campaign,

:05:22. > :05:24.will depend on what sort of enquiry is convened and its powers.

:05:25. > :05:30.And our Health Editor Huw Pym is with me now.

:05:31. > :05:36.This is decades later, why has this enquiry being announced now and what

:05:37. > :05:40.can it achieve? Government sources are making clear new evidence has

:05:41. > :05:44.emerged in the last few weeks, including some published in the

:05:45. > :05:48.newspaper and the material Andy Burnham was about to publish. That

:05:49. > :05:55.is the reason. But there is the political aspect to this. On Sunday,

:05:56. > :05:59.the leaders of the political party opposition parties called for this

:06:00. > :06:02.enquiry. There was a debate scheduled in the House of Commons

:06:03. > :06:06.called by a Labour MP to debate the issue. There was a possibility all

:06:07. > :06:11.the opposition parties might have voted on it. We have new

:06:12. > :06:14.Parliamentary arithmetic. Just before the debate began, Downing

:06:15. > :06:19.Street sources indicated the government was minded to set up this

:06:20. > :06:23.enquiry. It came as a surprise to the Scottish Government, it will be

:06:24. > :06:31.a UK wide exercise. They said they had no warning. What ever the reason

:06:32. > :06:33.is, what ever the timings, victims and their families are pleased it is

:06:34. > :06:35.happening but they will be content unless it does get to the truth.

:06:36. > :06:38.Thank you. President Trump's eldest son has

:06:39. > :06:40.published a chain of e-mails about his meeting last year

:06:41. > :06:43.with a Russian lawyer who's been Donald Trump Junior is told

:06:44. > :06:47.that the Russian government wants to offer official documents that

:06:48. > :06:51.would "incriminate" Hillary Clinton and be "very useful" to his father's

:06:52. > :06:57.presidential campaign Our Chief Correspondent Gavin Hewitt

:06:58. > :07:17.is in Washington for us tonight. Tell us more about these

:07:18. > :07:21.revelations? For five months, there has been a shadow hanging over the

:07:22. > :07:25.trump Administration as to whether there was collusion between the

:07:26. > :07:32.Trumper election campaign and the Russians. Today, that story got a

:07:33. > :07:35.whole lot more serious. Last June, there was a meeting between Donald

:07:36. > :07:41.Trump Jr and a Russian lawyer. Today, we got to read the e-mails

:07:42. > :07:45.leading up to that meeting. It is worth quoting, the offer was to

:07:46. > :07:47.provide the Trump campaign with some official documents that would

:07:48. > :07:55.incriminate Hillary Clinton, which would be very useful to your father.

:07:56. > :07:58.That is Donald Trump. It goes on, this is obviously very high level

:07:59. > :08:04.and sensitive information and it is part of Russia and its government's

:08:05. > :08:07.support for Mr Trump. There is an insight into what Donald Trump Jr

:08:08. > :08:15.felt about this offer to dish the dirt on Hillary Clinton. He says, if

:08:16. > :08:22.it is what you say, I love it. How damaging is all this, Gavin? Of

:08:23. > :08:27.course, it is damaging. Particularly that Donald Trump Jr was prepared to

:08:28. > :08:33.go to this meeting having received these e-mails beforehand. It also

:08:34. > :08:37.establishes the Russian interest in influencing the American election.

:08:38. > :08:43.But I think there are some questions as to the credibility of this

:08:44. > :08:47.impresario. What where the levels of his contacts in Moscow? And there is

:08:48. > :08:52.an open question as to what Donald Trump himself knew. But after today,

:08:53. > :08:57.if you read this text, I think it is devastating and what they will do is

:08:58. > :09:02.deep in this investigation into what is really now a very serious matter

:09:03. > :09:04.for the Trump Administration. Gavin Hewitt, thank you.

:09:05. > :09:07.Workers on short term contracts in the UK should qualify for sick

:09:08. > :09:09.pay and holiday pay and their employers should make

:09:10. > :09:13.Those are some of the recommendations in a major report,

:09:14. > :09:15.commissioned by the government which is calling for

:09:16. > :09:19.changes to the running of the so-called "gig economy".

:09:20. > :09:22.Theresa May has welcomed the report, saying it makes a major

:09:23. > :09:27.contribution to the debate about work practices in Britain.

:09:28. > :09:29.But she says she doesn't want to stop the clock.

:09:30. > :09:34.Here's our economics editor Kamal Ahmed.

:09:35. > :09:45.It was the Prime Minister who made the points, the vast majority of us

:09:46. > :09:48.spend more than half of our waking hours working. Whether

:09:49. > :09:53.self-employed, single job or multiple, the world of work has

:09:54. > :09:57.changed. Appearing alongside Theresa May, Matthew Taylor said it was time

:09:58. > :10:01.for a reset. Yes, the country has been very good at creating work,

:10:02. > :10:07.employment levels are at a record, but he said it was time to focus on

:10:08. > :10:11.quality. National performance on the quantity of work is strong. The

:10:12. > :10:15.quantity alone is not enough for a thriving economy and a fair society.

:10:16. > :10:18.We believe now is the time to complement that commitment in

:10:19. > :10:28.creating jobs with the goal of creating better jobs. This man likes

:10:29. > :10:33.his job, flexible, no guaranteed hours and few benefits for Uber. I

:10:34. > :10:38.love to drive my car, I love people. I like to chat to interesting people

:10:39. > :10:45.and the money and the ratio with my time, it is decent. For Felicity, it

:10:46. > :10:49.is a different story from the world of 0-hour contracts. It is insecure

:10:50. > :10:53.because a lot of the problems I had, sometimes if there was a lot of

:10:54. > :11:01.work, I would work too much I get really tired. What does this new

:11:02. > :11:08.world of work look like? One point, the majority of us, 63%, are in

:11:09. > :11:11.full-time work. About 26% are in part-time work and 15% are

:11:12. > :11:21.self-employed. There are many new ways of working and the enquiry

:11:22. > :11:24.focuses on two. The gig economy, delivery food drivers, minicab

:11:25. > :11:29.drivers, there are 1.3 million people in that part of the economy.

:11:30. > :11:35.And people with no guaranteed hours of work, on 0-hours contracts. There

:11:36. > :11:40.are about 9005000 people on those. Then, there is what the report calls

:11:41. > :11:44.the hidden economy. That is the cash in hand payments to your window

:11:45. > :11:48.cleaner that avoid tax and official records. The report says that is

:11:49. > :11:57.worth ?6.2 billion a year and should be brought to an end. Mr Taylor said

:11:58. > :11:59.in his review, much of this new world of work is good work, but for

:12:00. > :12:03.those being exploited, some solutions. Sick and holiday pay

:12:04. > :12:07.benefits, a right to enhanced minimum wage because the work does

:12:08. > :12:13.not guarantee hours. Then there is talk of better enforcement of the

:12:14. > :12:15.present laws and higher taxes for those gig firms. Paying National

:12:16. > :12:20.Insurance for the first time, which many of them avoid at the moment.

:12:21. > :12:27.The question is, will any of this happen? Given the Conservatives lack

:12:28. > :12:32.one important thing, a majority. You cannot give any guarantees that you

:12:33. > :12:37.will be able to pass a report like this and the recommendations it has

:12:38. > :12:43.had through Parliament? I would hope, as I said in my speech, people

:12:44. > :12:46.will see across the political world, will see the importance of

:12:47. > :12:51.addressing this as an issue. It isn't just a here and now. It is

:12:52. > :12:55.about the future of our economy. There seems little chance of

:12:56. > :12:59.consensus. Labour said the report was a huge missed opportunity,

:13:00. > :13:07.particularly when it came to not banning 0-hours contracts. We have

:13:08. > :13:10.to get rid of 0-hours contracts. We have to get rid of the gig economy

:13:11. > :13:15.and the bogus self-employment which is a wonderful way for a minority of

:13:16. > :13:22.employers to avoid paying National Insurance contributions. Member this

:13:23. > :13:26.man, Sir Philip Green? He published a report on government efficiency.

:13:27. > :13:32.Sir Andrew Deal not, a review on social care, published with a

:13:33. > :13:36.fanfare of publicity and then gently gathered dust on a shelf. The fear

:13:37. > :13:40.for this report is, it could suffer a similar fate.

:13:41. > :13:42.A 24-year-old British man has been killed fighting

:13:43. > :13:44.against the so-called Islamic State in Syria.

:13:45. > :13:48.He's said to have died five days ago during the campaign to capture

:13:49. > :13:53.He's the fourth British man to be killed while fighting

:13:54. > :14:05.The United Nations say as many as 3,000 civilians remain trapped

:14:06. > :14:08.in the Iraqi city of Mosul, despite government forces declaring

:14:09. > :14:12.Skirmishes continue between Iraqi troops and so-called Islamic State.

:14:13. > :14:15.Those trapped are mostly young or elderly and are thought

:14:16. > :14:17.to have become separated from their families.

:14:18. > :14:19.From Mosul, our Defence Correspondent Jonathan

:14:20. > :14:27.This is an orphan of the battle for Mosul, a baby whose

:14:28. > :14:31.He was just left at this clinic malnourished

:14:32. > :14:36.They called him Marino after the Italian doctor

:14:37. > :14:42.The Iraqi army says there are many more like him.

:14:43. > :14:48.We actually receive a lot of orphans.

:14:49. > :14:53.I don't know what's going on out there, I think ISIS or the females

:14:54. > :14:56.after their husbands, ISIS fighters, they die,

:14:57. > :15:02.they run away empty-handed so they leave their babies behind.

:15:03. > :15:04.Iraq's Prime Minister may have declared victory,

:15:05. > :15:07.but there's still pockets of resistance and streams

:15:08. > :15:14.of civilians trying to make their way to safety.

:15:15. > :15:23.They often collect the children of others along the way.

:15:24. > :15:26.There are dozens of women and children here waiting to be

:15:27. > :15:29.taken to safety and they're not just war weary, they are weak

:15:30. > :15:40.If you listen, the only sound you can hear is babies crying.

:15:41. > :15:43.At west Mosul's main hospital they're just about coping.

:15:44. > :15:49.They're still having to treat the wounded as well as the weak.

:15:50. > :15:52.This man is barely alive after being found in the rubble.

:15:53. > :15:57.This is Galeb who's crying out, "where's my father"?

:15:58. > :16:06.He only stops when they manage to distract him with a game.

:16:07. > :16:11.It's difficult to manage him, he is crying, asking for his father,

:16:12. > :16:17.Something which I can't replace, I can't be his father,

:16:18. > :16:25.Even trying to identify the dead is proving difficult.

:16:26. > :16:28.Search and rescue teams are looking out for any forms

:16:29. > :16:32.of identity as they sift through the debris of war.

:16:33. > :16:34.Iraq will not just have to rebuild this city,

:16:35. > :16:46.Too many people with learning disabilities in England are not

:16:47. > :16:49.getting good enough healthcare or being found the homes they need

:16:50. > :16:55.That's according to an influential charity leader who was so moved

:16:56. > :16:58.by the plight of one man that he has written to the Prime Minister

:16:59. > :17:00.calling for an independent commissioner who can speak up

:17:01. > :17:04.for people with learning difficulties.

:17:05. > :17:07.More than 2,500 of them remain in secure units,

:17:08. > :17:09.that's despite Government promises that they would close.

:17:10. > :17:12.In one year alone, 50% of all deaths of people with a learning disability

:17:13. > :17:15.were recorded as avoidable, compared to 23% for

:17:16. > :17:23.Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has been to meet

:17:24. > :17:25.Ian Shaw and his family whose distressing case

:17:26. > :17:32.In the front room of the family home in Essex, 34-year-old

:17:33. > :17:34.Ian Shaw lies quietly, comforted by having his

:17:35. > :17:45.Ian can't speak for himself, he has learning disabilities,

:17:46. > :17:51.He also has terminal cancer which his parents believe should

:17:52. > :17:58.I was told there was no treatment, because it had been there a long

:17:59. > :18:02.time and they couldn't treat it because it would be too much.

:18:03. > :18:06.It just wouldn't work, it had gone too far.

:18:07. > :18:10.The family asked us to tell Ian's story because they believe it shows

:18:11. > :18:13.how the system still fails people with learning disabilities.

:18:14. > :18:20.As he grew up, Ian's behaviour became challenging.

:18:21. > :18:23.When in pain, he'd throw things and bang his head, scarring himself.

:18:24. > :18:26.In 2007, he was sent to the first of three secure units.

:18:27. > :18:33.The problem being with epilepsy the secure units were

:18:34. > :18:39.Because things became out of control, the secure

:18:40. > :18:47.So once he was there it felt like you couldn't get him back out?

:18:48. > :18:53.Yeah, it was ongoing. It was from one to the other.

:18:54. > :18:57.This weighty family file tells the story of Ian's life

:18:58. > :19:03.It shows his mum raising numerous concerns about levels of medication

:19:04. > :19:09.There are records of Ian being restrained, as well as family

:19:10. > :19:12.letters fighting to get him moved to a supported home

:19:13. > :19:18.It took nine years, but Ian left the last secure hospital in 2016.

:19:19. > :19:22.Within months, testicular cancer was found.

:19:23. > :19:27.The family believes in the secure unit early signs were first missed,

:19:28. > :19:34.Bernadette Adams provided the family with support in meetings

:19:35. > :19:42.Jan has been saying for many, many months that Ian was in pain

:19:43. > :19:45.or Ian had infections and she was, you know, on many occasions,

:19:46. > :19:53.In a statement, the Department of Health says.

:19:54. > :19:56."For too long people with learning disabilities have not been treated

:19:57. > :19:59.equally by the health service and we're determined

:20:00. > :20:05.It, and NHS England, also insist they are making

:20:06. > :20:08.progress in improving care and closing secure units.

:20:09. > :20:10.But not fast enough for Sir Stephen Bubb,

:20:11. > :20:14.author of two reports examining the problems.

:20:15. > :20:17.He's written to the Prime Minister calling for an independent

:20:18. > :20:19.commissioner to speak up for people like Ian.

:20:20. > :20:22.It's scandalous and very sad the use of physical restraint,

:20:23. > :20:26.overmedication, seclusion and a serious neglect of health

:20:27. > :20:34.It's all too typical and it has led me to believe that institutional

:20:35. > :20:39.care is at root abusive and we must close these institutions

:20:40. > :20:45.The Government says it has no plans for an independent

:20:46. > :20:54.But Ian's family want his legacy to be that in future others

:20:55. > :21:00.A man has appeared in court over an acid attack on a woman

:21:01. > :21:03.and her cousin on her 21st birthday in east London last month.

:21:04. > :21:07.John Tomlin, who's 24 and from Canning Town,

:21:08. > :21:11.is accused of throwing acid at Resham Kham and Jameel Muthtar

:21:12. > :21:21.Both suffered severe burns to their face and body.

:21:22. > :21:23.An aristocrat who wrote an online post offering ?5,000

:21:24. > :21:25.for the businesswoman and campaigner Gina Miller to be run over,

:21:26. > :21:28.has been found guilty of two charges of malicious communications.

:21:29. > :21:30.Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, the 4th Viscount St Davids,

:21:31. > :21:33.wrote the message four days after Gina Miller won a Brexit legal

:21:34. > :21:37.Philipps, who called his comments "satire",

:21:38. > :21:41.Our legal correspondent Clive Coleman is at Westminster

:21:42. > :21:54.Tell us more about what happened in court. Well, people remember it was

:21:55. > :21:57.just four days after Gina Miller, the businesswoman had won her

:21:58. > :22:02.historic victory at the High Court forcing the Government to seek a

:24:21. > :24:25.saw that. There was one time I came in from the courts outside, I think

:24:50. > :25:07.life more. That can change very quickly. Broken in her first service

:25:17. > :25:24.players? Well, almost nothing. Look at hawk-eye. Fractional. But Halep's

:25:25. > :25:29.point and soon her set. A crucial moments Konta made more mistakes.

:25:30. > :25:34.Sad, but true. Adversity is an opportunity for

:25:35. > :25:41.resilience as they say on the hill. In the second set she kept running,

:25:42. > :25:52.and kept her composure. But there was no closure and so another

:25:53. > :26:00.tie-break. Deep breath. Now ex-hale. One set all. And on it went.

:26:01. > :26:04.Into the third set. She has managed to hold serve in her first service

:26:05. > :26:18.game in that third set. It stands at 1-1. Already waiting in the

:26:19. > :26:21.semifinals Venus Williams. Novak Djokovic went through, he was

:26:22. > :26:25.annoyed Wimbledon didn't schedule his match to finish last night. This

:26:26. > :26:35.evening, forget the rain, we are going to finish under the roof in

:26:36. > :26:39.Centre Court. Halep and Konta is into the third kept at 1-1, it

:26:40. > :26:40.couldn't be tighter. We don't need to ask what the weather is like in

:26:41. > :26:48.London. Yes the rain has set in for the rest

:26:49. > :26:51.of the day. It's not just across the Wimbledon area, we have seen rain

:26:52. > :26:57.powering down across South Wales where this picture is from. The

:26:58. > :27:00.radar shows the area of rain being pushed eastwards staidily through

:27:01. > :27:04.the afternoon to the south-east with bright colours on the radar picture

:27:05. > :27:07.showing where the heavier rain is, heading in to south-east England.

:27:08. > :27:12.It's not been raining everywhere today. We have had sunny spells

:27:13. > :27:18.across north-west Scotland. And shower clouds there in the distance.

:27:19. > :27:23.Tonight the rain band having reached parts of Yorkshire is going to sink

:27:24. > :27:25.South Eastwards through the night. It will become stranded across

:27:26. > :27:29.south-east England. Further north and west the weather becomes dryer

:27:30. > :27:33.with clearing skies, quite a chilly night into rural parts of Scotland

:27:34. > :27:37.with temperatures getting down to single figures. Tomorrow this rain

:27:38. > :27:41.band is going to clear out of the way smartly. Then this area of high

:27:42. > :27:45.pressure building in across the British Isles, that means early

:27:46. > :27:48.morning rain clears from south-east England quickly during Wednesday

:27:49. > :27:53.morning. Then the sunshine will come out and we will all see more sun

:27:54. > :28:01.behind than today. Cloud bubbling up and temperatures near average for

:28:02. > :28:06.the time of year. So at Wimbledon tomorrow what a

:28:07. > :28:08.different story. Sunny spells and with light winds it will feel

:28:09. > :28:12.pleasant in the sunshine. Thursday, more of the same weather on the way.

:28:13. > :28:17.A chilly start to the day in rural parts. Sunshine through the day. A

:28:18. > :28:20.few isolated showers are possible. The north-west of Scotland has the

:28:21. > :28:23.greatest risk of showers moving in and the breeze picking up here.

:28:24. > :28:28.Temperatures again reaching a high of about 23.

:28:29. > :28:36.Thank you. Our main story. The Government orders an inquiry into

:28:37. > :28:41.the contaminated blood scandal, more than 2,000 people died after being

:28:42. > :28:43.giving contaminated products. That's all from the BBC News at Six. From

:28:44. > :28:53.all of us here, good Guy. BBC TWO reveals the bittersweet
