Contaminated blood - the worst treatment scandal

:00:11.:00:12.

in the history of the NHS - the government orders an inquiry.

:00:13.:00:15.

More than 2000 people died after being given blood products

:00:16.:00:17.

in the 70s and 80s contaminated with HIV and hepatitis C.

:00:18.:00:20.

They deserve to be told what went wrong, why it went wrong

:00:21.:00:22.

and who is responsible for what happened.

:00:23.:00:26.

Andy Evans, who was infected when he was five and

:00:27.:00:30.

diagnosed with AIDS at 16 - he's campaigned for this for years.

:00:31.:00:35.

At the very minimum we were let down.

:00:36.:00:37.

At the worst, I think there are people to blame for a lot of the

:00:38.:00:41.

We'll be asking why it's taken so long to bring about this inquiry

:00:42.:00:48.

President Trump's son releases e-mails appearing to show

:00:49.:00:54.

he was offered information on Hillary Clinton as part

:00:55.:00:56.

of Russia's support for Trump's election campaign.

:00:57.:01:01.

Making work fair and decent - short-term contracts should qualify

:01:02.:01:05.

for sick and holiday pay says a government commissioned report.

:01:06.:01:09.

The UN says almost 3000 civilians remain trapped

:01:10.:01:10.

in the Iraqi city of Mosul, despite claims of victory over

:01:11.:01:13.

We've a special report on the man whose plight has prompted calls

:01:14.:01:20.

for more to be done to protect the rights of people

:01:21.:01:23.

And Johanna Konta is making her bid to become the first British woman

:01:24.:01:29.

to reach a Wimbledon semi final in almost 40 years.

:01:30.:01:53.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:54.:01:55.

An appalling tragedy that should never have happened -

:01:56.:01:58.

that's what the Prime Minister called the contaminated blood

:01:59.:02:00.

The government today announced an inquiry into the worst treatment

:02:01.:02:06.

At least 2,400 people died and 7,500 patients were infected with viruses

:02:07.:02:14.

such as hepatitis C and HIV, after being given blood

:02:15.:02:18.

It's been called the worst disaster in the history of the NHS.

:02:19.:02:31.

Patients trusted the service to deliver safe treatments,

:02:32.:02:35.

including haemophiliacs needing blood clotting treatments,

:02:36.:02:38.

but they were given products tainted with life-threatening viruses.

:02:39.:02:43.

I take one of those in the morning and one of these, both

:02:44.:02:50.

Andy has had a life on medication because he was given

:02:51.:02:54.

At the age of five, he was infected with HIV and hepatitis C.

:02:55.:02:58.

Since then, all he is wanted is answers.

:02:59.:03:06.

I'm very worried there was deliberate acts

:03:07.:03:08.

At the very minimum, we were let down.

:03:09.:03:13.

At the worst, I think there are people to blame for a lot

:03:14.:03:16.

Much of the enquiry is focused on Whitehall and what was happening

:03:17.:03:24.

Victims and their families have long argued that senior government

:03:25.:03:29.

officials were aware of the dangers with contaminated blood

:03:30.:03:35.

products and allowed patients to continue receiving them.

:03:36.:03:38.

And after that, they say, there was a cover-up.

:03:39.:03:43.

A Scottish enquiry by a Judge Lord Penrose,

:03:44.:03:45.

was dismissed by victims as a waste of time and they showed

:03:46.:03:48.

An earlier enquiry in England was privately funded

:03:49.:03:52.

Today, a Labour MP who's campaigned on the issue told the Commons those

:03:53.:03:57.

affected by the scandal were owed a debt of justice.

:03:58.:04:00.

They deserve to be told what went wrong.

:04:01.:04:03.

Why it went wrong and who is responsible for what happened.

:04:04.:04:08.

The story of the injustice they have suffered also needs to be set out

:04:09.:04:11.

And a minister citing allegations that medical records were tampered

:04:12.:04:19.

In light of these concerns, and a report of new evidence

:04:20.:04:28.

and allegations of potential criminality, we think

:04:29.:04:32.

it is important to understand the extent of what is claimed

:04:33.:04:35.

The former Health Secretary, Andy Burnham, who alleged

:04:36.:04:47.

there was a criminal cover-up says victims were failed

:04:48.:04:49.

All political parties have let down those who've suffered as a result

:04:50.:04:54.

And all parties must now put differences aside,

:04:55.:04:57.

work together and give them truth and justice without any further

:04:58.:04:59.

And for this campaigner, who has hepatitis C,

:05:00.:05:07.

there's only one thing which really matters.

:05:08.:05:09.

Nobody here is going away, we are staying, we're going to fight

:05:10.:05:12.

Whether that full truth emerges after this long campaign,

:05:13.:05:21.

will depend on what sort of enquiry is convened and its powers.

:05:22.:05:24.

And our Health Editor Huw Pym is with me now.

:05:25.:05:30.

This is decades later, why has this enquiry being announced now and what

:05:31.:05:36.

can it achieve? Government sources are making clear new evidence has

:05:37.:05:40.

emerged in the last few weeks, including some published in the

:05:41.:05:44.

newspaper and the material Andy Burnham was about to publish. That

:05:45.:05:48.

is the reason. But there is the political aspect to this. On Sunday,

:05:49.:05:55.

the leaders of the political party opposition parties called for this

:05:56.:05:59.

enquiry. There was a debate scheduled in the House of Commons

:06:00.:06:02.

called by a Labour MP to debate the issue. There was a possibility all

:06:03.:06:06.

the opposition parties might have voted on it. We have new

:06:07.:06:11.

Parliamentary arithmetic. Just before the debate began, Downing

:06:12.:06:14.

Street sources indicated the government was minded to set up this

:06:15.:06:19.

enquiry. It came as a surprise to the Scottish Government, it will be

:06:20.:06:23.

a UK wide exercise. They said they had no warning. What ever the reason

:06:24.:06:31.

is, what ever the timings, victims and their families are pleased it is

:06:32.:06:33.

happening but they will be content unless it does get to the truth.

:06:34.:06:35.

Thank you. President Trump's eldest son has

:06:36.:06:38.

published a chain of e-mails about his meeting last year

:06:39.:06:40.

with a Russian lawyer who's been Donald Trump Junior is told

:06:41.:06:43.

that the Russian government wants to offer official documents that

:06:44.:06:47.

would "incriminate" Hillary Clinton and be "very useful" to his father's

:06:48.:06:51.

presidential campaign Our Chief Correspondent Gavin Hewitt

:06:52.:06:57.

is in Washington for us tonight. Tell us more about these

:06:58.:07:17.

revelations? For five months, there has been a shadow hanging over the

:07:18.:07:21.

trump Administration as to whether there was collusion between the

:07:22.:07:25.

Trumper election campaign and the Russians. Today, that story got a

:07:26.:07:32.

whole lot more serious. Last June, there was a meeting between Donald

:07:33.:07:35.

Trump Jr and a Russian lawyer. Today, we got to read the e-mails

:07:36.:07:41.

leading up to that meeting. It is worth quoting, the offer was to

:07:42.:07:45.

provide the Trump campaign with some official documents that would

:07:46.:07:47.

incriminate Hillary Clinton, which would be very useful to your father.

:07:48.:07:55.

That is Donald Trump. It goes on, this is obviously very high level

:07:56.:07:58.

and sensitive information and it is part of Russia and its government's

:07:59.:08:04.

support for Mr Trump. There is an insight into what Donald Trump Jr

:08:05.:08:07.

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

:08:08.:08:15.

it is what you say, I love it. How damaging is all this, Gavin? Of

:08:16.:08:22.

course, it is damaging. Particularly that Donald Trump Jr was prepared to

:08:23.:08:27.

go to this meeting having received these e-mails beforehand. It also

:08:28.:08:33.

establishes the Russian interest in influencing the American election.

:08:34.:08:37.

But I think there are some questions as to the credibility of this

:08:38.:08:43.

impresario. What where the levels of his contacts in Moscow? And there is

:08:44.:08:47.

an open question as to what Donald Trump himself knew. But after today,

:08:48.:08:52.

if you read this text, I think it is devastating and what they will do is

:08:53.:08:57.

deep in this investigation into what is really now a very serious matter

:08:58.:09:02.

for the Trump Administration. Gavin Hewitt, thank you.

:09:03.:09:04.

Workers on short term contracts in the UK should qualify for sick

:09:05.:09:07.

pay and holiday pay and their employers should make

:09:08.:09:09.

Those are some of the recommendations in a major report,

:09:10.:09:13.

commissioned by the government which is calling for

:09:14.:09:15.

changes to the running of the so-called "gig economy".

:09:16.:09:19.

Theresa May has welcomed the report, saying it makes a major

:09:20.:09:22.

contribution to the debate about work practices in Britain.

:09:23.:09:27.

But she says she doesn't want to stop the clock.

:09:28.:09:29.

Here's our economics editor Kamal Ahmed.

:09:30.:09:34.

It was the Prime Minister who made the points, the vast majority of us

:09:35.:09:45.

spend more than half of our waking hours working. Whether

:09:46.:09:48.

self-employed, single job or multiple, the world of work has

:09:49.:09:53.

changed. Appearing alongside Theresa May, Matthew Taylor said it was time

:09:54.:09:57.

for a reset. Yes, the country has been very good at creating work,

:09:58.:10:01.

employment levels are at a record, but he said it was time to focus on

:10:02.:10:07.

quality. National performance on the quantity of work is strong. The

:10:08.:10:11.

quantity alone is not enough for a thriving economy and a fair society.

:10:12.:10:15.

We believe now is the time to complement that commitment in

:10:16.:10:18.

creating jobs with the goal of creating better jobs. This man likes

:10:19.:10:28.

his job, flexible, no guaranteed hours and few benefits for Uber. I

:10:29.:10:33.

love to drive my car, I love people. I like to chat to interesting people

:10:34.:10:38.

and the money and the ratio with my time, it is decent. For Felicity, it

:10:39.:10:45.

is a different story from the world of 0-hour contracts. It is insecure

:10:46.:10:49.

because a lot of the problems I had, sometimes if there was a lot of

:10:50.:10:53.

work, I would work too much I get really tired. What does this new

:10:54.:11:01.

world of work look like? One point, the majority of us, 63%, are in

:11:02.:11:08.

full-time work. About 26% are in part-time work and 15% are

:11:09.:11:11.

self-employed. There are many new ways of working and the enquiry

:11:12.:11:21.

focuses on two. The gig economy, delivery food drivers, minicab

:11:22.:11:24.

drivers, there are 1.3 million people in that part of the economy.

:11:25.:11:29.

And people with no guaranteed hours of work, on 0-hours contracts. There

:11:30.:11:35.

are about 9005000 people on those. Then, there is what the report calls

:11:36.:11:40.

the hidden economy. That is the cash in hand payments to your window

:11:41.:11:44.

cleaner that avoid tax and official records. The report says that is

:11:45.:11:48.

worth ?6.2 billion a year and should be brought to an end. Mr Taylor said

:11:49.:11:57.

in his review, much of this new world of work is good work, but for

:11:58.:11:59.

those being exploited, some solutions. Sick and holiday pay

:12:00.:12:03.

benefits, a right to enhanced minimum wage because the work does

:12:04.:12:07.

not guarantee hours. Then there is talk of better enforcement of the

:12:08.:12:13.

present laws and higher taxes for those gig firms. Paying National

:12:14.:12:15.

Insurance for the first time, which many of them avoid at the moment.

:12:16.:12:20.

The question is, will any of this happen? Given the Conservatives lack

:12:21.:12:27.

one important thing, a majority. You cannot give any guarantees that you

:12:28.:12:32.

will be able to pass a report like this and the recommendations it has

:12:33.:12:37.

had through Parliament? I would hope, as I said in my speech, people

:12:38.:12:43.

will see across the political world, will see the importance of

:12:44.:12:46.

addressing this as an issue. It isn't just a here and now. It is

:12:47.:12:51.

about the future of our economy. There seems little chance of

:12:52.:12:55.

consensus. Labour said the report was a huge missed opportunity,

:12:56.:12:59.

particularly when it came to not banning 0-hours contracts. We have

:13:00.:13:07.

to get rid of 0-hours contracts. We have to get rid of the gig economy

:13:08.:13:10.

and the bogus self-employment which is a wonderful way for a minority of

:13:11.:13:15.

employers to avoid paying National Insurance contributions. Member this

:13:16.:13:22.

man, Sir Philip Green? He published a report on government efficiency.

:13:23.:13:26.

Sir Andrew Deal not, a review on social care, published with a

:13:27.:13:32.

fanfare of publicity and then gently gathered dust on a shelf. The fear

:13:33.:13:36.

for this report is, it could suffer a similar fate.

:13:37.:13:40.

A 24-year-old British man has been killed fighting

:13:41.:13:42.

against the so-called Islamic State in Syria.

:13:43.:13:44.

He's said to have died five days ago during the campaign to capture

:13:45.:13:48.

He's the fourth British man to be killed while fighting

:13:49.:13:53.

The United Nations say as many as 3,000 civilians remain trapped

:13:54.:14:05.

in the Iraqi city of Mosul, despite government forces declaring

:14:06.:14:08.

Skirmishes continue between Iraqi troops and so-called Islamic State.

:14:09.:14:12.

Those trapped are mostly young or elderly and are thought

:14:13.:14:15.

to have become separated from their families.

:14:16.:14:17.

From Mosul, our Defence Correspondent Jonathan

:14:18.:14:19.

This is an orphan of the battle for Mosul, a baby whose

:14:20.:14:27.

He was just left at this clinic malnourished

:14:28.:14:31.

They called him Marino after the Italian doctor

:14:32.:14:36.

The Iraqi army says there are many more like him.

:14:37.:14:42.

We actually receive a lot of orphans.

:14:43.:14:48.

I don't know what's going on out there, I think ISIS or the females

:14:49.:14:53.

after their husbands, ISIS fighters, they die,

:14:54.:14:56.

they run away empty-handed so they leave their babies behind.

:14:57.:15:02.

Iraq's Prime Minister may have declared victory,

:15:03.:15:04.

but there's still pockets of resistance and streams

:15:05.:15:07.

of civilians trying to make their way to safety.

:15:08.:15:14.

They often collect the children of others along the way.

:15:15.:15:23.

There are dozens of women and children here waiting to be

:15:24.:15:26.

taken to safety and they're not just war weary, they are weak

:15:27.:15:29.

If you listen, the only sound you can hear is babies crying.

:15:30.:15:40.

At west Mosul's main hospital they're just about coping.

:15:41.:15:43.

They're still having to treat the wounded as well as the weak.

:15:44.:15:49.

This man is barely alive after being found in the rubble.

:15:50.:15:52.

This is Galeb who's crying out, "where's my father"?

:15:53.:15:57.

He only stops when they manage to distract him with a game.

:15:58.:16:06.

It's difficult to manage him, he is crying, asking for his father,

:16:07.:16:11.

Something which I can't replace, I can't be his father,

:16:12.:16:17.

Even trying to identify the dead is proving difficult.

:16:18.:16:25.

Search and rescue teams are looking out for any forms

:16:26.:16:28.

of identity as they sift through the debris of war.

:16:29.:16:32.

Iraq will not just have to rebuild this city,

:16:33.:16:34.

Too many people with learning disabilities in England are not

:16:35.:16:46.

getting good enough healthcare or being found the homes they need

:16:47.:16:49.

That's according to an influential charity leader who was so moved

:16:50.:16:55.

by the plight of one man that he has written to the Prime Minister

:16:56.:16:58.

calling for an independent commissioner who can speak up

:16:59.:17:00.

for people with learning difficulties.

:17:01.:17:04.

More than 2,500 of them remain in secure units,

:17:05.:17:07.

that's despite Government promises that they would close.

:17:08.:17:09.

In one year alone, 50% of all deaths of people with a learning disability

:17:10.:17:12.

were recorded as avoidable, compared to 23% for

:17:13.:17:15.

Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has been to meet

:17:16.:17:23.

Ian Shaw and his family whose distressing case

:17:24.:17:25.

In the front room of the family home in Essex, 34-year-old

:17:26.:17:32.

Ian Shaw lies quietly, comforted by having his

:17:33.:17:34.

Ian can't speak for himself, he has learning disabilities,

:17:35.:17:45.

He also has terminal cancer which his parents believe should

:17:46.:17:51.

I was told there was no treatment, because it had been there a long

:17:52.:17:58.

time and they couldn't treat it because it would be too much.

:17:59.:18:02.

It just wouldn't work, it had gone too far.

:18:03.:18:06.

The family asked us to tell Ian's story because they believe it shows

:18:07.:18:10.

how the system still fails people with learning disabilities.

:18:11.:18:13.

As he grew up, Ian's behaviour became challenging.

:18:14.:18:20.

When in pain, he'd throw things and bang his head, scarring himself.

:18:21.:18:23.

In 2007, he was sent to the first of three secure units.

:18:24.:18:26.

The problem being with epilepsy the secure units were

:18:27.:18:33.

Because things became out of control, the secure

:18:34.:18:39.

So once he was there it felt like you couldn't get him back out?

:18:40.:18:47.

Yeah, it was ongoing. It was from one to the other.

:18:48.:18:53.

This weighty family file tells the story of Ian's life

:18:54.:18:57.

It shows his mum raising numerous concerns about levels of medication

:18:58.:19:03.

There are records of Ian being restrained, as well as family

:19:04.:19:09.

letters fighting to get him moved to a supported home

:19:10.:19:12.

It took nine years, but Ian left the last secure hospital in 2016.

:19:13.:19:18.

Within months, testicular cancer was found.

:19:19.:19:22.

The family believes in the secure unit early signs were first missed,

:19:23.:19:27.

Bernadette Adams provided the family with support in meetings

:19:28.:19:34.

Jan has been saying for many, many months that Ian was in pain

:19:35.:19:42.

or Ian had infections and she was, you know, on many occasions,

:19:43.:19:45.

In a statement, the Department of Health says.

:19:46.:19:53.

"For too long people with learning disabilities have not been treated

:19:54.:19:56.

equally by the health service and we're determined

:19:57.:19:59.

It, and NHS England, also insist they are making

:20:00.:20:05.

progress in improving care and closing secure units.

:20:06.:20:08.

But not fast enough for Sir Stephen Bubb,

:20:09.:20:10.

author of two reports examining the problems.

:20:11.:20:14.

He's written to the Prime Minister calling for an independent

:20:15.:20:17.

commissioner to speak up for people like Ian.

:20:18.:20:19.

It's scandalous and very sad the use of physical restraint,

:20:20.:20:22.

overmedication, seclusion and a serious neglect of health

:20:23.:20:26.

It's all too typical and it has led me to believe that institutional

:20:27.:20:34.

care is at root abusive and we must close these institutions

:20:35.:20:39.

The Government says it has no plans for an independent

:20:40.:20:45.

But Ian's family want his legacy to be that in future others

:20:46.:20:54.

A man has appeared in court over an acid attack on a woman

:20:55.:21:00.

and her cousin on her 21st birthday in east London last month.

:21:01.:21:03.

John Tomlin, who's 24 and from Canning Town,

:21:04.:21:07.

is accused of throwing acid at Resham Kham and Jameel Muthtar

:21:08.:21:11.

Both suffered severe burns to their face and body.

:21:12.:21:21.

An aristocrat who wrote an online post offering ?5,000

:21:22.:21:23.

for the businesswoman and campaigner Gina Miller to be run over,

:21:24.:21:25.

has been found guilty of two charges of malicious communications.

:21:26.:21:28.

Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, the 4th Viscount St Davids,

:21:29.:21:30.

wrote the message four days after Gina Miller won a Brexit legal

:21:31.:21:33.

Philipps, who called his comments "satire",

:21:34.:21:37.

Our legal correspondent Clive Coleman is at Westminster

:21:38.:21:41.

Tell us more about what happened in court. Well, people remember it was

:21:42.:21:54.

just four days after Gina Miller, the businesswoman had won her

:21:55.:21:57.

historic victory at the High Court forcing the Government to seek a

:21:58.:22:02.

political debate. He said that the phrase vote jumper was a statement

of fact and he really tried to brush the whole thing off as something

:23:07.:23:10.

light-hearted. That didn't impress the chief Magistrate. She found him

there in London, thank you. At Wimbledon Jo Conta is battling to

:23:27.:23:39.

make the semifinals. Venus Williams has won her match. Novak Djokovic is

:23:40.:23:45.

through to the quarter-finals. Jo Wilson has been watching the action.

:23:46.:23:49.

On Centre Court a British woman in a quarter-final, never mind the rest

:23:50.:23:53.

of her victory, this progress here had taken her life to a different

:23:54.:23:59.

level. Every mood, every move is scrutinised.

:24:00.:24:04.

She first played at Wimbledon as a junior, representing Australia. When

:24:05.:24:07.

her parents moved to Britain she followed. Gained citizenship in

:24:08.:24:11.

2012, she is not a product of one nation or a tennis system, but a

:24:12.:24:15.

product of her own intense motivation. And British coaches soon

:24:16.:24:20.

saw that. There was one time I came in from the courts outside, I think

:24:21.:24:25.

it was freezing cold. I think she had six layers on. Outside on

:24:26.:24:30.

artificial clay court, and her enthusiasm, I just thought it was

:24:31.:24:34.

great and I said to her father, I said, this is top 5% in the world

:24:35.:24:38.

material. What Wimbledon noticed this year was a lighter mood. She

:24:39.:24:41.

brought home-baked treats to practice and seemed to be enjoying

:24:42.:24:49.

life more. That can change very quickly. Broken in her first service

:24:50.:25:07.

game. As the rallies boomed inside, roof closed, Konta found her range.

:25:08.:25:11.

Into a tie-break and the standard ever higher. What would separate the

:25:12.:25:16.

players? Well, almost nothing. Look at hawk-eye. Fractional. But Halep's

:25:17.:25:24.

point and soon her set. A crucial moments Konta made more mistakes.

:25:25.:25:29.

Sad, but true. Adversity is an opportunity for

:25:30.:25:34.

resilience as they say on the hill. In the second set she kept running,

:25:35.:25:41.

and kept her composure. But there was no closure and so another

:25:42.:25:52.

tie-break. Deep breath. Now ex-hale. One set all. And on it went.

:25:53.:26:00.

Into the third set. She has managed to hold serve in her first service

:26:01.:26:04.

game in that third set. It stands at 1-1. Already waiting in the

:26:05.:26:18.

semifinals Venus Williams. Novak Djokovic went through, he was

:26:19.:26:21.

annoyed Wimbledon didn't schedule his match to finish last night. This

:26:22.:26:25.

evening, forget the rain, we are going to finish under the roof in

:26:26.:26:35.

Centre Court. Halep and Konta is into the third kept at 1-1, it

:26:36.:26:39.

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

:26:40.:26:40.

London. Yes the rain has set in for the rest

:26:41.:26:48.

of the day. It's not just across the Wimbledon area, we have seen rain

:26:49.:26:51.

powering down across South Wales where this picture is from. The

:26:52.:26:57.

radar shows the area of rain being pushed eastwards staidily through

:26:58.:27:00.

the afternoon to the south-east with bright colours on the radar picture

:27:01.:27:04.

showing where the heavier rain is, heading in to south-east England.

:27:05.:27:07.

It's not been raining everywhere today. We have had sunny spells

:27:08.:27:12.

across north-west Scotland. And shower clouds there in the distance.

:27:13.:27:18.

Tonight the rain band having reached parts of Yorkshire is going to sink

:27:19.:27:23.

South Eastwards through the night. It will become stranded across

:27:24.:27:25.

south-east England. Further north and west the weather becomes dryer

:27:26.:27:29.

with clearing skies, quite a chilly night into rural parts of Scotland

:27:30.:27:33.

with temperatures getting down to single figures. Tomorrow this rain

:27:34.:27:37.

band is going to clear out of the way smartly. Then this area of high

:27:38.:27:41.

pressure building in across the British Isles, that means early

:27:42.:27:45.

morning rain clears from south-east England quickly during Wednesday

:27:46.:27:48.

morning. Then the sunshine will come out and we will all see more sun

:27:49.:27:53.

behind than today. Cloud bubbling up and temperatures near average for

:27:54.:28:01.

the time of year. So at Wimbledon tomorrow what a

:28:02.:28:06.

different story. Sunny spells and with light winds it will feel

:28:07.:28:08.

pleasant in the sunshine. Thursday, more of the same weather on the way.

:28:09.:28:12.

A chilly start to the day in rural parts. Sunshine through the day. A

:28:13.:28:17.

few isolated showers are possible. The north-west of Scotland has the

:28:18.:28:20.

greatest risk of showers moving in and the breeze picking up here.

:28:21.:28:23.

Temperatures again reaching a high of about 23.

Thank you. Our main story. The Government orders an inquiry into
