0:00:17 > 0:00:19We go undercover - posing as a teenage girl -
0:00:19 > 0:00:22within minutes she's targeted.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25HE WHISPERS: She's 14 and yet someone has just
0:00:25 > 0:00:30asked her to take her shirt and her bra off.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33We have a special investigation - and look at what parents can do.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Also tonight.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Will the IOC decide on the ultimate sanction and

0:01:36 > 0:01:41Hello and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46A BBC investigation has found that online streaming apps used
0:01:46 > 0:01:49by children to make live broadcasts are being infiltrated by men
0:01:49 > 0:01:51trying to groom them.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55It comes as the National Crime Agency says it arrested more
0:01:55 > 0:01:58than 190 men across the UK in a single week in connection with
0:01:58 > 0:01:59sexual offences against children.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04In this special report Angus Crawford discovered how
0:02:04 > 0:02:06quickly suspects try to target children using the streaming apps -
0:02:06 > 0:02:11the latest front in the battle against online sexual abuse.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Meet this 20-year-old online safety campaigner,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19who we've transformed into 14-year-old Samira.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23She is going to try some of the most popular live streaming apps to see
0:02:23 > 0:02:28what it's really like to be a teenage girl online.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32First, Periscope, Twitter's live video app used by children
0:02:32 > 0:02:36all over the world.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39So there are quite a few people, within seconds - five, six,
0:02:39 > 0:02:40seven people joining.
0:02:40 > 0:02:46In minutes, the conversation turned sexual.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49She is 14, and yet someone has just asked her to take her
0:02:49 > 0:02:51shirt and her bra off.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Next is Live.me, only launched last year, now with more
0:02:54 > 0:02:57than 20 million users.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Some send Samira direct messages no one else can see -
0:03:02 > 0:03:11clearly trying to groom her.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Omegle is a one-to-one video chat app that randomly
0:03:13 > 0:03:18connects her to users around the world.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Most are men, some expose themselves.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21I just said hi.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23He said, may I show it?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I said, what?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28He has got it out.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Pretty much as soon as I started, all I said was hi.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32I'm 14 and a girl.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And then I was inundated.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Here is a guy going on cam.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37What's he doing?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39He was naked.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41He was naked?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And you told him you were 14?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Can you imagine if you had been a 14-year-old girl?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50My first reaction would be to be confused.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53For a second, it is nice having the attention of the hearts,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55and then it gets quite dark, quite quickly.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And it is happening to real children right now.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Look at this broadcast on Periscope.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Two girls we cannot identify, around 11 years old.
0:04:03 > 0:04:052000 people are watching.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Some dare them to lift their shirts.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15Read the comments as men ask them to go further.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17For those girls, it may have seemed like fun,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19but it can be devastating.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24I found her inconsolable.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27This is an actress, but the words are true.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Those of a mother whose ten-year-old daughter tried out Omegle for fun.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35He switched his webcam on.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41Showed her his private parts and asked her to take photos
0:04:41 > 0:04:44of herself, which she did.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46He was never located.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49This mother says parents have to talk to their children
0:04:49 > 0:04:50about the dangers.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Hi, I'm Sam.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55That is also the message behind this video launched today.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00But for some in law enforcement, that is not enough.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The tech companies also need to do more.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08The industry has emerged rapidly.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I think it is important to reflect on how they are ensuring
0:05:11 > 0:05:13younger children are not using their services
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and age verification, maybe thinking about the moderation
0:05:15 > 0:05:22techniques they might be able to use.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25No one from these app companies would be interviewed.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27But Periscope says it does not tolerate this behaviour.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Omegle and Live.me did not respond to our requests.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34When children can broadcast to the world from their own bedrooms,
0:05:34 > 0:05:39whose job is it to keep them safe?
0:05:39 > 0:05:45And Angus is here now.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51You can imagine how worried parents would be watching your report.There
0:05:51 > 0:05:56are two important messages. The first to parents, get to know these
0:05:56 > 0:06:01apps. Get to know how they can be used safely and talk to your
0:06:01 > 0:06:06children and to their schools. The other important message is a wake-up
0:06:06 > 0:06:12call for tech companies. They have effectively created a means for
0:06:12 > 0:06:15children to broadcast from their bedroom to the world but the world
0:06:15 > 0:06:20can look back into those bedrooms and now the authorities are
0:06:20 > 0:06:25effectively saying it is time tech companies policed this space
0:06:25 > 0:06:26properly and effectively.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28An independent review into the security services has
0:06:28 > 0:06:33concluded that it's conceivable that the Manchester terror attack
0:06:33 > 0:06:34could have been prevented.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36The report details how agents received intelligence
0:06:36 > 0:06:39about the bomber, Salman Abedi, before he killed 22 people
0:06:39 > 0:06:42at the Manchester Arena.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Despite this, the assessment concludes there is "no case
0:06:45 > 0:06:47for despair", saying most terror plots are foiled.
0:06:47 > 0:06:54Here's our security correspondent, Gordon Corera.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00Four terror attacks in three months, with some of those responsible known
0:07:00 > 0:07:04to the authorities, raising questions as to whether they could
0:07:04 > 0:07:09have been prevented. Today a review said the bombing at Manchester Arena
0:07:09 > 0:07:14that killed 22 in May was the only one that might have been stopped.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18The bomber Salman Abedi had been known to the authorities in the past
0:07:18 > 0:07:24but was not under active investigation, however data analysis
0:07:24 > 0:07:28of 20,000 former suspects flagged him as one of a few dozen for
0:07:28 > 0:07:35further investigation but nine days before a meeting about this he
0:07:35 > 0:07:38carried out his attack and in the months leading up to that,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41intelligence came in which if assessed differently may have made a
0:07:41 > 0:07:47priority.In hindsight it is obvious having received that intelligence
0:07:47 > 0:07:49MI5 should have opened an investigation and who knows what
0:07:49 > 0:07:55that would have found. The fact is they did not interpret the
0:07:55 > 0:07:59intelligence that way, the opportunity was missed.15-year-old
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Olivia Campbell-Hardy was killed in Manchester. Her grandfather said he
0:08:04 > 0:08:10did not blame the security services. They will do the best they can with
0:08:10 > 0:08:14the information they gather. Assess the situation, make decisions and
0:08:14 > 0:08:21act on it. I will not fault anyone for doing their job.On the other
0:08:21 > 0:08:25attacks, in the case of London Bridge, the ringleader was under
0:08:25 > 0:08:30active investigation but there were no signs of what he planned. At
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Westminster Bridge, this man was a former subject of interest but there
0:08:34 > 0:08:39were no formal warning signs and in Finsbury park, not intelligence on
0:08:39 > 0:08:45the man charged. This year's attacks were shocked to MI5 and the report
0:08:45 > 0:08:51makes clear there needs to be changes. There are 126
0:08:51 > 0:08:56recommendations, perhaps the most important that information from here
0:08:56 > 0:09:01needs to be shared more freely with police and others. The Home
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Secretary said police would have the money they needed.We will announce
0:09:06 > 0:09:13the budgets for policing for 2017-18 and I am clear we must ensure
0:09:13 > 0:09:18counterterrorism has the resources needed to deal with the threats we
0:09:18 > 0:09:24face.As well as these attacks, nine more plots have been stopped in the
0:09:24 > 0:09:28past year and officials warned the threat remains unprecedented.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Theresa May is under growing pressure to find a way forward
0:09:32 > 0:09:34after Brexit talks broke down yesterday over the future
0:09:34 > 0:09:35of Northern Ireland.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39A deal on this first phase of negotiations has to be in place
0:09:39 > 0:09:42before next week's summit so talks can move on to trade.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Labour has called Theresa May's efforts an embarrassment.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51Now, former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith says it's nearly
0:09:51 > 0:09:53time to walk away from the talks - as our political
0:09:53 > 0:09:58editor Laura Kuenssberg.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04You can shake hands as much as you like. Are you confident of a deal?
0:10:04 > 0:10:09But it does not mean there will be a deal, the Spanish leader one of
0:10:09 > 0:10:16dozens she has to get onside.There are a couple of issues we need to
0:10:16 > 0:10:22work on, but I will be reconvening in Brussels later this week.It is
0:10:22 > 0:10:28this band they indeed right now, the DUP's ten MPs, feeling their power
0:10:28 > 0:10:34in every step. They refuse to back Theresa May's deal in Brussels over
0:10:34 > 0:10:40Ireland border which is they feel will put Northern Ireland on a
0:10:40 > 0:10:45different path to the rest of the UK.The text we were shown late
0:10:45 > 0:10:49yesterday did not translate what we had been told in general
0:10:49 > 0:10:53conversations into reality.Would you be willing to see the deal
0:10:53 > 0:10:58failed?We do not want to see the talks fail and we do not want to see
0:10:58 > 0:11:06no deal, we want a sensible Brexit. Yesterday's collapse provoked
0:11:06 > 0:11:10arguments on all science with some believing Scotland, Wales and some
0:11:10 > 0:11:15sectors of the economy should get special status but in Dublin a clear
0:11:15 > 0:11:19message, not budging, clinging to the agreement that the North and
0:11:19 > 0:11:29south with mirror each other's regulations.The ball is in London's
0:11:29 > 0:11:31court, the Prime Minister and the European Commission and negotiating
0:11:31 > 0:11:34teams have asked for more time. Number 10 believes it could be back
0:11:34 > 0:11:39on by the end of the week, sorted by Christmas. But the failure yesterday
0:11:39 > 0:11:45meant a barrage of attacks in the Commons.What an embarrassment. If
0:11:45 > 0:11:51the price of the Prime Minister's approaches the break-up of the union
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and reopening of bitter divides in Northern Ireland the price is too
0:11:54 > 0:12:02high.The suggestion we might depart the European Union but leave one
0:12:02 > 0:12:07part of the UK inside the single market and customs union is
0:12:07 > 0:12:13emphatically not something the UK Government is considering.But there
0:12:13 > 0:12:20is no agreement in camber that about the -- in cabinet about what happens
0:12:20 > 0:12:25next. The former leader telling the BBC it might be time to walk away.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30It is a game played out over power and the answer boils down to who
0:12:30 > 0:12:36will call the shots on this? Right now, we have to say not good enough,
0:12:36 > 0:12:42we cannot pay this price.You are saying to Brussels, back off, or we
0:12:42 > 0:12:48will walk?The statement is more straightforward, you need to change
0:12:48 > 0:12:57this process and to back off, otherwise we get on with other
0:12:57 > 0:12:59arrangements.The Prime Minister and DUP are yet to talk directly today.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Theresa May is not in total control of her relationships with friends or
0:13:03 > 0:13:05rivals.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler is in Stormont now.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15This border issue is turning out to be hugely complex, what are the
0:13:15 > 0:13:23prospects of the solution?Everybody has the same goal, nobody wants a
0:13:23 > 0:13:27hard border, customs posts, but how you achieve that they cannot agree
0:13:27 > 0:13:32and the Irish government are determined they had a deal that saw
0:13:32 > 0:13:36no regulatory differences between the two parts, Northern Ireland and
0:13:36 > 0:13:40the Republic, but the DUP say they will not accept differences between
0:13:40 > 0:13:46Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. One solution has been put
0:13:46 > 0:13:50forward by Ruth Davidson, for the whole of the UK to stick to some
0:13:50 > 0:13:55rules and regulations the EU will have. Some within government are
0:13:55 > 0:13:59against that because it could tie their hands in the trade talks they
0:13:59 > 0:14:06are desperately trying to get to. Meanwhile this has left
0:14:06 > 0:14:10relationships between Belfast and Dublin antagonistic with the DUP
0:14:10 > 0:14:14accusing the Irish government of putting Anglo Irish relationships in
0:14:14 > 0:14:20jeopardy and they are getting worse. They accused the Irish government is
0:14:20 > 0:14:23stopping British negotiators from letting them see the controversial
0:14:23 > 0:14:29text of the deal. As a result a close focus on whatever words are
0:14:29 > 0:14:34put forward in the future. You get the impression Theresa May is
0:14:34 > 0:14:37involved in two Brexit negotiations, with the EU and with the DUP.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Rail passengers are facing the largest hike in
0:14:39 > 0:14:42fares in five years.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Prices will rise by an average of 3.4% on the 2nd January.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott, is at Croydon
0:14:49 > 0:14:54station in south London.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00I am guessing there is a lot of anger among commuters.There
0:15:00 > 0:15:04certainly is, always when you talk to people, nobody likes to pay more
0:15:04 > 0:15:10and it seems to be the time of year when we find out what the rail fare
0:15:10 > 0:15:15rise will be starting in January and then there is a row. An example of
0:15:15 > 0:15:21what it will mean, if you are a commuter between Brighton and
0:15:21 > 0:15:26London, hit by strikes and delays on that line, the annual ticket costs
0:15:26 > 0:15:34over £4000 and it will go up by almost £150. Between Liverpool and
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Manchester, that ticket costs over £3000 and will go up by more than
0:15:39 > 0:15:46£100. The average across Britain, fares will go up by 3.4%. And the
0:15:46 > 0:15:51latest wage figures we have is the average wage is going up by about
0:15:51 > 0:15:562%, which is critical because campaigners say for years rail fares
0:15:56 > 0:16:02have gone up higher wage rises and it adds to the feeling of working as
0:16:02 > 0:16:06hard but being that little bit worse off every year. The government and
0:16:06 > 0:16:12train companies would argue they are investing billions in the network.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17There are new stations and new trains coming on board and new
0:16:17 > 0:16:21seats, but every year I think we will keep getting this row because
0:16:21 > 0:16:26of the bigger proportion of the money used to pay for better
0:16:26 > 0:16:29equipment will come from ticket cells. It will come into effect on
0:16:29 > 0:16:33January the 2nd.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Our top story this evening:
0:16:37 > 0:16:39A new warning about the online grooming of children
0:16:39 > 0:16:40through live streaming apps.
0:16:40 > 0:16:47Still to come:
0:16:47 > 0:16:53The low calorie liquid diet helping to reverse Type 2 diabetes.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News in the next 15 minutes.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00We'll look ahead to tonight's Champions League
0:17:00 > 0:17:03matches with three British clubs involved, including Manchester
0:17:03 > 0:17:11United, who can book a place in the knockout stage.
0:17:11 > 0:17:19The financial regulator has taken action after a BBC investigation
0:17:19 > 0:17:22into misleading advice given to British steelworkers,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24many have found their pensions have been substantially reduced.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Under a deal to save the troubled plants, steelworkers have been given
0:17:27 > 0:17:29until December 22nd to sort out their future
0:17:29 > 0:17:30pension arrangements.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32But, as Sian Lloyd reports, incorrect advice has resulted
0:17:32 > 0:17:35in some losing hundreds of thousands of pounds.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39The giant Port Talbot
0:17:39 > 0:17:51Steelworks the biggest of the Tata plants.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57The company said the old gold plated British Steel pension
0:17:57 > 0:17:59scheme was unsustainable, leaving workers here and at other
0:17:59 > 0:18:01sites a range of options, including transferring out altogether.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03With around 130,000 workers affected, huge pension pots
0:18:03 > 0:18:04and lucrative commissions for financial advisors
0:18:04 > 0:18:06have been at stake.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's cost me in the region of £200,000, so it's a lot of money.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Richard Bevan is one of those workers.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13After 39 years at the Trostre Steelworks, near Llanelli,
0:18:13 > 0:18:14he wanted a secure future.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17He went to this local firm, Celtic Wealth Management,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21who he thought were regulated financial advisors, but they're not.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26They introduced clients to a firm of regulated advisors
0:18:26 > 0:18:28based in the Midlands, called Active Wealth UK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Between them, they failed to give Richard a suitability report
0:18:32 > 0:18:34on which he could properly base his decision and advised him
0:18:34 > 0:18:37to transfer his pension out of the company scheme even though
0:18:37 > 0:18:39a recalculation was due which would have substantially
0:18:39 > 0:18:40increased his pension pot.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42We're aware that other steelworkers are also unhappy
0:18:42 > 0:18:46about their treatment by the two companies.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I'm not a gullible sort of person, but I've obviously been led
0:18:49 > 0:18:52into doing something that wasn't right for me by a financial
0:18:52 > 0:18:55advisor, you know.
0:18:55 > 0:19:03And it's not a nice place to be at the moment.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Both companies deny Richard's claims, but after
0:19:06 > 0:19:09we passed our findings to the Financial Conduct Authority,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11the regulator intervened and Active Wealth is no longer
0:19:11 > 0:19:16allowed to give pensions advice.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22But this issue extends far beyond the steelworkers of South Wales.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Gary Clement has worked at the Scunthorpe Steelworks for 40
0:19:25 > 0:19:30years, he'd planned to retire at 55.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35He paid a team of financial advisors, called Lighthouse,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38a fee of more than £10,000 for advice which included
0:19:38 > 0:19:40information about when he could access his pension, which they've
0:19:40 > 0:19:42since admitted was wrong.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46You go to a financial advisor for financial advice.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49He says - this is what you do, this is in your best interest.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50You listen.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I don't believe they have anybody's best interests at heart.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58I believe it's just about money.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Gary has received a letter from his advisors accepting
0:20:01 > 0:20:03he wasn't given the correct information, but they say
0:20:03 > 0:20:05they believe he would have reached the same decision to leave
0:20:05 > 0:20:09the fund anyway.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Gary believes transferring out of the scheme when he did has
0:20:12 > 0:20:14cost him hundreds of thousands.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15The City watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority,
0:20:15 > 0:20:20is worried that steelworkers are particularly at risk.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23This is a group of people, thousands of people,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26who have to make a decision one way or the other, that gives rise
0:20:26 > 0:20:30to particular complexities.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33So, yes, they are particularly vulnerable I think at this stage.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36There is growing concern that hundreds of steelworkers could be
0:20:36 > 0:20:38affected by a feeding frenzy surrounding the British Steel
0:20:38 > 0:20:41pension scheme and millions of pounds of their hard-earned
0:20:41 > 0:20:42savings potentially at risk.
0:20:42 > 0:20:52Sian Lloyd, BBC News, Port Talbot.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Treating Type 2 diabetes costs the NHS billions of pounds a year.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02The condition is normally controlled with medication, but a new trial,
0:21:02 > 0:21:09carried out in Newcastle and Glasgow, has shown
0:21:09 > 0:21:10be reversed through dieting.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Our health correspondent, James Gallagher, has been
0:21:11 > 0:21:12looking at the findings.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Isobel Murray thought she was facing a lifetime of Type 2 diabetes,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19but she's lost more than four stone on the trial and has now completely
0:21:19 > 0:21:20changed her relationship with food.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Her disease is in remission.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25It's freedom to live your life again and know that you're not in that
0:21:25 > 0:21:28cycle any more and know that I can control this, and I will
0:21:28 > 0:21:29never go there again.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Never will I be taking diabetic medication again.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33She spent 17 weeks drinking these.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35They're nutritionally balanced soups and shakes to help
0:21:35 > 0:21:38trigger weight loss.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41And that's it, there's 200 calories in a glass and you're allowed
0:21:41 > 0:21:45four of them every day.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47That's just sweet, really, but that's your lot,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50for up to five months.
0:21:50 > 0:21:56How does the diet work?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58The pancreas is critical in Type 2 diabetes.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01If excess body fat is stored around the organ, then it
0:22:01 > 0:22:03reduces the production of the hormone insulin.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05That leads to levels of sugar in the blood getting
0:22:05 > 0:22:08dangerously out of control.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Losing weight makes the fat cells disappear and the pancreas
0:22:10 > 0:22:14work properly again.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Doctors say 46% of patients on the trial put their
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Type 2 into remission.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23We now have clear evidence that weight loss of 10 or 15
0:22:23 > 0:22:26kilograms is enough to turn this disease around.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It's hugely exciting that we can do that in routine practice,
0:22:29 > 0:22:30with ordinary nurses, ordinary dieticians,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32ordinary GPs and ordinary patients.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Treating diabetes costs the NHS £10 billion a year.
0:22:36 > 0:22:46Type 2 is normally controlled with medication,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49but in the long-term the disease causes damage throughout the body,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51leading to organ failure, blindness and limb amputations.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Isobel has enjoyed a normal diet and kept the weight off
0:22:53 > 0:22:54for nearly two years now.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58I don't feel like a diabetic because I don't think about it any more.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59I've got my life back.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02She says if she can beat Type 2, then anyone can.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07James Gallagher, BBC News.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Cricket, and England have continued their fightback
0:23:08 > 0:23:14in the second Ashes Test.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18At the close of play they were 176-4, still needing 178
0:23:18 > 0:23:29to win, on what could be a nail-biting final day.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss, reports from Adelaide.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Was this the day England's flickering Ashes hopes
0:23:36 > 0:23:37were gloriously rekindled?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39First by the bowlers, they had to skittle Australia
0:23:39 > 0:23:43to have any chance and they did, thanks to a five wicket masterclass
0:23:43 > 0:23:44from Jimmy Anderson.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47That still left England a record run chase, 354, and after a good
0:23:47 > 0:23:48start they faltered.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Both openers went before James Vince wafted his wicket away,
0:23:50 > 0:23:51and it seemed England's chances.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53COMMENTATOR:Edged and gone. Handscomb takes the chance.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55But under the floodlights and the fiercest pressure,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Dawid Malan and Joe Root hung in there.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Australia kept appealing, England kept surviving - just.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00It was pure sporting theatre.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02But moments before the close, Malan fell.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Australia are still favourites, but England 178 runs
0:24:04 > 0:24:09from something very special.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15Well, this has been some fightback from England.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Barely 24-hours ago they looked beaten, the Ashes all but gone,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22and yet they still have a chance of a remarkable win.
0:24:22 > 0:24:32Root will resume on 67.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36If he can produce a captain's innings, England just might conjure
0:24:36 > 0:24:37one cricket's greatest comebacks.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Andy Swiss, BBC News, Adelaide.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41This week we've been profiling five contenders in the running to become
0:24:41 > 0:24:46UK City of Culture 2021.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Tonight we look at Stoke-on-Trent, most famous
0:24:48 > 0:24:49for its ceramics industry.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52The city is up against Coventry, Paisley, Sunderland and Swansea.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55The winner, to be announced on Thursday, will host a year-long
0:24:55 > 0:25:01celebration of arts and performance.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Sima Kotecha reports.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Six towns brought together in the early 20th Century
0:25:04 > 0:25:06to form Stoke-on-Trent.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Fondly known as The Potteries, for centuries ceramics has been
0:25:10 > 0:25:13at the heart of what they do here, giving its bid as the City
0:25:13 > 0:25:16of Culture a creative backdrop.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Today, hundreds of businesses still make carefully crafted pieces
0:25:18 > 0:25:23for a global clientele.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26It's been sort of the last 300 years that we've had a significant pottery
0:25:26 > 0:25:31industry and when an industry is that important and a city is that
0:25:31 > 0:25:34reliant on a particular industry, then it obviously has a big impact
0:25:34 > 0:25:39on culture and everything that's about us.
0:25:39 > 0:25:45But other than pottery, what more does the city have to offer?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Some of the people living here in Stoke say that
0:25:48 > 0:25:50its image is tainted by its post-industrial past.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52There are streets and roads here lined with empty
0:25:52 > 0:25:54warehouses and factories, arguably giving an impression
0:25:54 > 0:26:02of a city that is tired and old.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The art sector bills itself as rich, vibrant, unique, a contradiction
0:26:05 > 0:26:06to any negative perception.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08It's a rough diamond, isn't it and that's part
0:26:08 > 0:26:09of its industrial heritage.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12It's one of the reasons we all love it, to be honest.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It's got this gnarly beauty that appeals to us all.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's one of the reasons why it's brilliant to make art here.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Artists can afford to come to this city and live here and make work
0:26:21 > 0:26:23and find spaces to make that work in.
0:26:23 > 0:26:31Famous faces from here include singer Robbie Williams,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33the footballer, Sir Stanley Matthews and designer of the Spitfire,
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Reginald Mitchell.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38But a huge mosaic in the centre, made up of thousands of local faces,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41aims to celebrate its identity as the city of the people.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43We're people who really understand how to make art just from the ground
0:26:43 > 0:26:46we're standing on and that's the miraculous thing about the city.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49That's why we think, as a hidden gem of the UK,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52that we need to be recognised.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Stoke-on-Trent has a colourful past, but this place wants a future, too.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59They hope the City of Culture tag will fire up that future just
0:26:59 > 0:27:02as much as the kilns did in the pottery past.
0:27:02 > 0:27:12Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Stoke-on-Trent.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Time for a look at the weather. Here's Sarah Keith Lucas.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Thank you. We have lots going on in terms of the weather through the
0:27:23 > 0:27:28course of this week. Storm Caroline has been named by the Met office,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31sitting in the Atlantic at the moment, it will move in towards
0:27:31 > 0:27:36northern parts of the UK during the course of Thursday. Storm Caroline
0:27:36 > 0:27:41likely to bring gusts of 80mph and strongest winds to the north of
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Scotland. We will see significant disruption to travel, I think. Back
0:27:44 > 0:27:49to the here and now. A much quieter picture out there at the minute.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Lots of cloud up-and-down the country. The cloud producing rain
0:27:53 > 0:27:57for the north-west of Scotland elsewhere the odd patches of
0:27:57 > 0:28:02drizzle. It will be mild tonight, temperatures not far off what they
0:28:02 > 0:28:05have been this afternoon. Across England and Wales tomorrow we should
0:28:05 > 0:28:09see breaks in the cloud. A little bit of brightness breaking through.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13A few spots of drizzle to the west and persistent rain for Scotland and
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Northern Ireland and pushing into the north-west of England. Mild but
0:28:17 > 0:28:21windy day on Wednesday. The winds will pick up on Wednesday night when
0:28:21 > 0:28:27we will see gales or severe gales particularly around these Irish Sea
0:28:27 > 0:28:29coasts aged cross Scotland too and also pretty heavy bursts of rain
0:28:29 > 0:28:34working in and heading south-eastwards across the country.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Thursday the strongest of the winds in association with Storm Caroline,
0:28:39 > 0:28:4380mph possible across the north of Scotland and through the central
0:28:43 > 0:28:46lowlands there could be severe gales. Rain will clear from the
0:28:46 > 0:28:50south-east. More sunshine, but a real drop in temperatures. Back into
0:28:50 > 0:28:57single figures for all of us. Once Storm Caroline clears to the
0:28:57 > 0:29:00north-east we have a northerly flow of air. It will turn colder as
