Tonight at Six: The cost of living
goes up as inflation jumps | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
to its highest for nearly six years. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:13 | |
With Christmas round the corner -
and food prices rising - | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
there'll be a squeeze
on household budgets. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
People are finding it very
difficult to make ends meet. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
I think they should bring the prices
down for food, but they're not. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Every time you go, it's going up
and up and up all the time. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:33 | |
We'll be asking what this
means for interest rates. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
The suspected arson attack
in Manchester that left | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
three children dead -
their mother and another child | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
are fighting for their lives
in hospital. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Warnings of icy conditions after
the coldest night of the winter - | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
hundreds of schools are still shut. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
The gift of an organ
that could save a life - | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
now the government wants to persuade
more people to become donors. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:59 | |
It's 40 years since Star Wars
first hit the screens - | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
we're on the red carpet
for the latest sequel. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
And coming up in Sportsday on BBC
News, former heavyweight boxing | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
world champion Tyson Fury is free
to resume his career | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
after accepting a doping violation. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
Good evening and welcome
to the BBC News at Six. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Rising food costs, bigger
electricity bills and higher air | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
fares have all helped push inflation
to its highest level | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
for almost six years. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
The Consumer Prices Index -
the measure the government uses - | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
hit 3.1% last month. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
With the latest data showing that
wages are growing at a slower pace, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
it means a squeeze on household
budgets, just when those Christmas | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
shopping bills are coming in. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Here's our Economics
Correspondent, Andy Verity. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:08 | |
At this baker on the outskirts of
Barnsley, it's not just the bread | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
rolls on the rise. Ingredients like
butter and flour have shot up in the | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
last year and a half so it's hard to
do everything it can to make sure | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
its costs are covered. One of the
things we have done with our | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
suppliers, we have decided to take a
radical approach which is pay all of | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
our suppliers early and demand
better terms from them because we | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
are paying them early and that's
helped mitigate some of the costs. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:51 | |
If you are looking to warm yourself
up in the cold weather, it's not | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
getting any cheaper. The price of
food was up 4.4% in the year to | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
November. Hot drinks up 5.6% and
electricity costs 11.4% more than it | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
did last year. On high streets like
this one in Glasgow, your wages | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
won't buy as much as they did last
year. That renewed squeeze on living | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
standards is starting to pinch. Very
difficult to make ends meet, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
especially coming up to Christmas.
Everything is going up. Money, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
electricity, gas, everything is
going up so we need someone to do | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
something about it. If you are
getting a few things, by the time | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
you get to the cash desk you say how
did it come to that, you know. The | 0:03:28 | 0:03:34 | |
pressure on prices comes partly from
the weakness of the pound since the | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Brexit vote which means it takes
more pounds to buy the same imported | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
goods, and partly from a recent
surge in the price of oil. The | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
interest rate setters at the Bank of
England know it is above target but | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
that doesn't mean there will be an
interest rate rise any time soon. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
The confident prediction is that
inflation will come down next year | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
and in the city they are betting the
next interest rate rise won't come | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
until the summer of next year. The
Bank of England is navigating a | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
pretty tricky course as it's trying
to work out how the economy will | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
fare through the Brexit process so
it's being ultra-cautious and for | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
that reason it is unlikely they will
make another rate move so soon after | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
the November on so nothing until
further into 2018 and probably one | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
rate rise in 2018, and one in 2019.
The hope is down the line the | 0:04:25 | 0:04:33 | |
inflationary effect of higher oil
prices will fade. Inflation is now | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
hitting its peak. If your wages by
less than they did last Christmas, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
that is no more than a crumb of
comfort. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
With me now is our Economics
Editor, Kamal Ahmed. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
We heard the shopper saying prices
keep going up, have we reached a | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
peak? The Bank of England certainly
believes next year the rate of | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
growth in prices will start to come
down. Why do they say that? The | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
currency effect, the falling value
of the pound since the referendum | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
pushes through the economy quite
quickly so by next year the effects | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
of that on prices will start
dissipating. Also as Andy spoke | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
about, there are some upward
pressures on inflation - the oil | 0:05:17 | 0:05:22 | |
price, there's a lot of cold weather
around at the moment so demand is | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
going up, and also global growth. We
are in an era now in Europe, Asia | 0:05:26 | 0:05:32 | |
and America when growth is pretty
quick and that means demand goes up | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
and that can push up inflation. But
the Bank of England certainly | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
believes as the currency effect
comes out of the economy, that means | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
the growth rate of inflation will
come down and actually it does | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
suggest interest rate rises are
still a long way off. Thank you. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
Police say a mother and her
three-year-old girl are fighting | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
for their lives in hospital
following a suspected arson attack | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
on a home in Worsley, Manchester,
in which three children died. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Three people remain in custody,
held on suspicion of murder. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
Danny Savage is outside
Swinton Police Station. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
Danny. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:13 | |
In the last hour police have given
an update on this ongoing murder | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
investigation. They say some of
those arrested over the last 24 | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
hours have been released but others
remain in custody. I think the | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
saddest fact of the day if you like
is the mother of the three children | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
who died, herself seriously ill in
hospital, still has no idea her son | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
and two daughters are dead. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:47 | |
A home police believe was
deliberately set alight early | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
yesterday morning. We have collected
CCTV from the area and now believe | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
this to be a targeted attack on this
house. We have a full team of | 0:06:58 | 0:07:05 | |
detectives and specially trained
officers working on this case. The | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
victims were 14-year-old Demi
Pearson who died at the scene, her | 0:07:09 | 0:07:16 | |
eight-year-old brother Brandon and
seven-year-old sister Lacie died | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
later in hospital. The head of their
school says it was a senseless loss | 0:07:19 | 0:07:25 | |
of precious life. Their 35-year-old
mother Michelle Pearson still | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
doesn't know her children are dead.
A fourth sibling, three-year-old | 0:07:30 | 0:07:36 | |
Lia, is still critical. Back at the
scene a family friend told me how | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
difficult it is for people living
here. What were they like? Nice, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:47 | |
they were all good people. I think
it's a shock, it will affect the | 0:07:47 | 0:07:53 | |
community for a long time. I've
cried loads of times when I think | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
about it or drive past in the car.
Last night a man and woman were | 0:07:57 | 0:08:03 | |
filmed being arrested, three people
remain in custody on suspicion of | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
murder. Police officers are at work
at other addresses as well as at the | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
house where the Pearson is lived.
It's emerged extra security had been | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
fitted to the family home including
a special letterbox guard after | 0:08:16 | 0:08:27 | |
previous incidents, so painstaking
work is under way to try to | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
establish how the fire was started.
Details on trouble here before | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
yesterday are sketchy though, police
won't comment on previous contact | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
with the family because those events
will be looked at by the Independent | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
Police Complaints Commission. Danny
Savage, BBC News, Walkden in | 0:08:38 | 0:08:44 | |
Manchester. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Last night was the coldest
this winter and if you live | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
in Shropshire you'll have known
all about it - it was down | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
to minus 13 Celsius in one place. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
The freeze has led to fresh
disruption for travellers | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
and hundreds of schools are closed
for a second day running. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
From Shawbury in Shropshire,
Sima Kotecha sent this report. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:06 | |
A bed of snow with freezing
conditions. Across parts of Midlands | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
it's not been easy - icy roads,
school closures, but for the | 0:09:10 | 0:09:18 | |
children another day off school. We
have been sledging, building a | 0:09:18 | 0:09:24 | |
snowmans. In Shropshire more than
200 schools were closed and in | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
Gloucestershire and Herefordshire
almost 100 remain closed. It is | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
difficult trying to find things for
them to do and keep them occupied. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
When you have childcare issues and
you are working full-time, obviously | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
it would be disruptive to you
because the schools are closing on a | 0:09:41 | 0:09:48 | |
day-to-day basis and you're not
knowing until the last minute. It is | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
bitterly cold here, the temperature
is around minus four Celsius and | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
there's no sign of this snow melting
any time soon. As night falls, the | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
temperatures are expected to plunge
even further. In the West Midlands | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
it was a similar story, more schools
closed and open. Some councils have | 0:10:07 | 0:10:13 | |
been criticised for advising them
not to reopen even though many roads | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
have been cleared. The initial
advice last Friday was for all | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
schools to close, we have changed
that advice to save the decision | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
should be made locally depending on
whether you can get school transport | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
to the school and whether it is safe
to do so in consideration of the | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
roads and other conditions. Yes or
no answer, do you think it's a | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
necessity to close all schools? It's
not a necessity to close all | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
schools, some will need to close.
More than 200 homes in the region | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
were without power this morning.
Tomorrow will present its own | 0:10:47 | 0:11:01 | |
challenges. With rain coming in from
the west, some of the snow will turn | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
to ice making pathways even more
slippery. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:05 | |
The Met Office has issued a yellow
warning for ice from today until 11 | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
o'clock tomorrow morning with the
worst affected areas expected to be | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
in Scotland and the north of
England. In Shropshire the | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
conditions seem to be improving,
more roads have cleared today, the | 0:11:15 | 0:11:21 | |
grifters have been out and more
schools are scheduled to reopen | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
tomorrow. -- the gritters. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:31 | |
We know organ transplants can
save lives and we know | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
that there aren't enough organ
donors out there. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
The government wants to change that
by re-writing the rules so that | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
we'll all be considered as potential
donors unless we opt out - | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
it's called 'presumed consent'. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:42 | |
The number of donors
is rising but not fast | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
enough to meet the need. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:45 | |
Ten years ago there were
just under 800 donors. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
This year that figure has
risen to over 1,400. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
But there are still 6,500
people currently waiting | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
for a transplant in the UK. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
Our health correspondent
Dominic Hughes has met one patient | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
who knows just how vital an increase
in donors is. | 0:11:55 | 0:12:04 | |
Just hanging the tubes up here. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
Keeping going, but going nowhere. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
Very honestly, I don't
have a life, that is what I do | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
at the moment, 24-hours a day. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
This is how Odette stays alive
while she waits for a pancreas | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
and kidney transplant. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
Every night, hooked up
to a dialysis machine. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
Nearly two litres of fluid
repeatedly pumped in | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
and out of her body. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
There's days that it actually feels
as if I've swallowed | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
a demon and obviously,
on those days, I just can't sleep, | 0:12:41 | 0:12:48 | |
I double over sometimes in pain. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
Good boy. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
Odette is marking time. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
On four occasions she's been called
to hospital for a transplant, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
each time the organ wasn't suitable. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
The emptiness is just very,
very, very, very big. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
It's just like... | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
There's nothing that anybody can do
about it, I understand that. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:13 | |
And there is nobody
to blame, basically. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
So it's just like - what do you do? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:21 | |
She's one of 6,500 people
waiting for a transplant | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
of one kind of another,
around 450 of them die each year. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
Transplant teams know
they need more organs, | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
so the Government in England wants
to assume we are all | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
willing to donate. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
An approach already adopted
in Wales two years ago, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
with Scotland also planning
to follow suit. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
But already the way teams identify
donors and how they approach | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
grieving families has been
transformed, that's seen | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
the number of operations
increase by more than 50%. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:57 | |
The story of transplants in the UK
over the past decade has | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
been one of success -
more people are having operations | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
and more people are willing
to donate their organs. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
But there are those who worry that
if we move to a system | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
of presumed consent,
well, that could actually do | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
more harm than good. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
It's a quick-fix for politicians. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
You pass a law, automatically
everyone is presumed to be a donor | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
and you've got more organs,
but in real-life it | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
doesn't happen that way. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
A lot of people who would
potentially become organ donors | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
object to it so strongly
that they join the opt-out register. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
So far in Wales more
than 200,000 people, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
6% of the population,
have chosen to opt out | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
of organ donation. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:37 | |
But after their own death, a donor
offers a stranger a new life. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:43 | |
And just over a fortnight ago,
in Manchester, that | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
stranger was Odette. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
After being so sick for such a long
time and to wake up and you're OK | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
and that's all gone,
it's just like | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
magically disappeared. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
I can see it in you,
from the last time we spoke, | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
you seem very different in yourself? | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
I feel different, I feel
totally different. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
Extremely grateful. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
Actually feeling as if you're alive. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
It's just overwhelming. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:19 | |
Odette de Sa ending that

Time is quarter past six. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
Our top story this evening: | 0:15:31 | 0:15:32 | |
Rising food prices and higher air
fares help push inflation up | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
to its highest level for six years. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:36 | |
And coming up: the new Star Wars
film, the Last Jedi - | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
we're at the star-studded Premier
tonight in London. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:45 | |
Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Who's responsible for 'Milkgate'? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:53 | |
The managers of Manchester United
and Manchester City have their says | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
on the melee after last
Sunday's Premier League derby match. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:01 | |
Yesterday, we brought you some
shocking stories about the kind | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
of behaviour young women and some
men have to put up with at work. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
It came from a survey
commissioned by the BBC, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
one of the largest ever conducted
on sexual harassment. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
Today we're looking
at the experiences of older | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
women, those over 55. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:31 | |
It turns out they're half as likely
to report inappropriate | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
behaviour as younger women. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:35 | |
In her second report,
Lucy Manning has been | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
to Whitley Bay, in Northumbria,
where she's been hearing | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
from an older generation. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:40 | |
# Waking into the light #. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
Into the light - the groping,
the harassment and the assaults | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
faced by women at work. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:48 | |
# Waking into the light #. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
In Whitley Bay they sing,
but the mostly retired choir members | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
are also starting to talk -
some for the first time. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
He started to put his hand
on my knee and then it went | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
further and further up. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
Every time I went into work,
when he was there, | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
I was terrified to go in. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
Did I misunderstand? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
But I knew he'd touched my bottom
and then he'd stroke | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
the side of my breast. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:19 | |
He thought he had nothing better
to do than to slap me hard | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
on the bottom, and it stung. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:24 | |
My husband doesn't even know. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:25 | |
Mine didn't, no. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:26 | |
No. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:27 | |
The BBC's poll on sexual harassment
reveals the older generation | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
are only half as likely to have
reported harassment | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
as younger people. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Just 16% of those now aged 55
or over have reported an incident, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
compared to 30% of those aged 18-34. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:46 | |
Can you put your hands up
if you didn't report to your boss | 0:17:46 | 0:17:52 | |
or to someone senior the sexual
harassment or the sexual assault | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
that happened to you? | 0:17:54 | 0:17:55 | |
My boss was actually in the room. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
Can I just say, it was my boss. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
So why didn't you report it? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:00 | |
Because I thought
I might lose my job. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:08 | |
I loved my job. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:09 | |
Yeah, same with me. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:10 | |
I could have lost my job. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
This was the man I worked for, I had
to stay on the right side of him. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
But nobody would have
believed me either. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
There was no idea about reporting
it and there was no | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
idea about taking it
into a formal complaints procedure. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
Older people are now more likely
to reconsider behaviour | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
they witnessed in their careers. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
More than 40% of over 55s would now
describe incidents they saw | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
as sexual harassment. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
We didn't have the vocabulary. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
I would now be saying -
hang on a minute, I think that's | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
some kind of assault. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
But I would never have said it
20 years ago, never, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
because I didn't think it was. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
No. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
I thought it was just the way
you were if you were a woman. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:55 | |
We're of a generation where women
were only just beginning to be | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
encouraged to speak out. | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
Overall, the poll found most people
were optimistic recent events | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
will lead to change. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
Nearly 70% think the revelations
will cause sustained | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
improvements in behaviour. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
What do you think about all these
stories about sexual harassment, | 0:19:08 | 0:19:14 | |
sexual assault in the workplace that
have come out now? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
There are some brave women who have
started the ball rolling. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
It will always continue. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:20 | |
Men will always feel that
they're superior to women. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
And you don't think that the massive
publicity that we've had recently | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
will in anyway change that? | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
I don't think so. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
Oh, I think it will. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
I think it's hopeful. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
It's been changing for a while now. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
It will never stop. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
They can't put the lid
back on the box now. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
I'm sure it's educating men. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:41 | |
I was just going to say
that, Annie, absolutely. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
Do you think it's something that
all women of your generation had | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
to put up with, when you speak
to friends and relatives? | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
Oh, yeah. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
When you talk to just
about everybody. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
There were lots of people
in the choir who didn't want to come | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
into a public forum who've said
things to me - oh, that | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
happened to me, but I don't
want to discuss it with anyone. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
This is the generation who had
to put up with harassment at work, | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
who can't believe it's
still happening today. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
Lucy Manning, BBC News, Whitley Bay. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:12 | |
A woman's been jailed for four years
after her dangerous dog attacked 12 | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
children in a playground. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
Claire Neal's Staffordshire bull
terrier escaped from her home before | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
it carried out the attack in Blyth,
Northumberland. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
Peter Harris is outside
Newcastle Crown Court. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
Sounds awful, Peter, give us the
details? Well, the judge described | 0:20:26 | 0:20:32 | |
it as a "truly terrible situation"
as the dog chased those children | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
through the playground. Some of them
went up on to the climbing frames to | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
try and escape. Others were dragged
along the floor and bitten before | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
the dog could be brought under
control. The injuries were nasty | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
skin graphs and stitches for some,
bearing in mind one of the victims | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
was only six years old. It turned
out in court Claire Neal should | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
never have had the dog in the first
place. Just a month before a court | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
had made an order that she should
hand the dog over to be destroyed | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
because of previous attacks. She
failed to comply with that order, | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
leading to these attacks just a few
weeks later. The judge in jailing | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
her told her "it's not the dog's
fault, it's your fault." Peter, | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
thank you very much. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:22 | |
A woman has died following a massive
gas explosion that destroyed her | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
house in Leicestershire. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
It happened in Birstall,
near Leicester. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
The home of Janet Jasper,
who was understood to be in her late | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
70s, was reduced to rubble
by the blast and other houses | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
nearby were badly damaged. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
An investigation is under way
to find out what happened. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:41 | |
Police are appealing for witnesses
and any dash-cam footage | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
as they investigate the death
of a woman who was struck | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
in a suspected multiple hit
and run in South London. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
The 29-year-old victim was struck
by a lorry on a pedestrian crossing | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
before she is thought to have been
struck by another | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
lorry and two cars. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
None of the drivers
stopped after the incident | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
in Tulse Hill yesterday. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:10 | |
In a couple of days' time, it
will be six months since the horror | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
of the Grenfell Tower fire. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
This week we're hearing from some
of those affected by the disaster - | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
whether they're survivors or one
of the many people who are helping | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
the community on its long
and challenging process of recovery. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
Tonight, it's the turn
of David Bailey, who manages child | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
and adolescent mental health
services in the area. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
People in the early
days were presenting | 0:22:28 | 0:22:29 | |
with very disturbed sleep. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:35 | |
That they had images and thoughts
in their head that they didn't want | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
and people were feeling quite numb
and just quite overwhelmed by | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
the whole scale of what they'd seen. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
We're dealing all the time
with children who have | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
experienced bereavements,
who have experienced escaping | 0:22:50 | 0:22:51 | |
from the building on that night. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:59 | |
People are trying I think to get
on with their lives, | 0:22:59 | 0:23:08 | |
but are constantly reminded
of what happened on that, and that | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
I think is really difficult. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:12 | |
It's not just that you see
the tower, it's that you actually | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
feel something when you're close
to the tower. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
It's hideous to look at because of
what it reminds you of. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:23 | |
So it's hard for people who,
you know, haven't been in the area | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
to know what it feels like to walk
down the road and to look up | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
and to see the tower,
or to be in a playground and to look | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
up and to see the tower. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:39 | |
It's hard for people... | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
I understand that it's hard
for people who aren't in this area | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
to understand the impact it has
on a daily basis to the residents. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
This is there all the time and we're
constantly looking at it | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
and we're constantly dealing
with the impact of it. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
We are going to be actively
going out, knocking on doors, | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
going into schools. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
We want people to know that whenever
they need that help and support, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
they can get access to it. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
Whenever they need us, we'll be
there is the message that we want | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
them to very clearly hear. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:15 | |
That was David Bailey,
who manages the local Child and | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
Adolescent Mental Health Services
in the area. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
Hard to believe, but it was 40 years
ago that the first Star Wars | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
film hit the cinemas,
spawning one of the most successful | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
film franchises in history. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
The latest instalment -
the eighth film - is called | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
The Last Jedi and it
has its European premiere | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
in London tonight. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:34 | |
Lizo Mzimba's on the
red carpet for us. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
Lizo. Yes, I'm here on the red
carpet joined by a familiar face to | 0:24:36 | 0:24:41 | |
Star Wars fans, one of the stars,
perhaps the star of the Star Wars | 0:24:41 | 0:24:48 | |
saga. Mark Hamill who plays Luke
Skywalker. What is it like for you | 0:24:48 | 0:24:55 | |
emotionally returning to the
franchise that did so much for you? | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
Well, it was surreal. We had no
idea. We had a beginning, middle and | 0:24:59 | 0:25:04 | |
end.
I thought if they are going to do | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
further Star Wars films they
wouldn't need us, they had new | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
characters. I can assure you my part
in The Last Jedi is twice as big as | 0:25:10 | 0:25:17 | |
it was inth force awakens. Star Wars
is an important movie to fans. How | 0:25:17 | 0:25:22 | |
important is the way it has expanded
its recipation of all kinds to the | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
cinema audience? Well, the films
were originally made for children. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:32 | |
We never expected it to be embraced
by the adult world. I guess we hit | 0:25:32 | 0:25:38 | |
that sweet spot it's for children of
all ages, but it's basically | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
escapism. People need that when
reality is too harsh. Whether they | 0:25:42 | 0:25:51 | |
go to Hogworts Middle Earth or the
Land of Oz it's comforting to go to | 0:25:51 | 0:25:58 | |
a galaxy far away, I guess.
I thought it more of a fairytale | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
than science fiction. We had a
Princess, farm boy and a wizard. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:07 | |
It's a continuation of all of that.
Thank you for your time from the | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
premier of Star Warser, here at the
Royal Albert Hall, back to you. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:16 | |
Time for a look at the weather. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
Here's Darren Bett. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
Here's Darren Bett. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:20 | |
Not as cold tonight as it was last
night by any means. There has been a | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
little bit of a thaw for some areas.
Still very tricky conditions out and | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
about on the roads and there is
still the chance of some icy | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
stretches too with the greatest risk
of disruption coming across Scotland | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
and northern England. There has been
ice around the Glasgow area because | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
coming into the cold air we have
seen all this cloud spilling its way | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
eastwards. It is bringing with it
wet weather, too. There is a good | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
chance that wet weather will fall on
frozen surfaces bringing the risk of | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
ice for the next few hours.
Everything is moving eastwards. Wet | 0:26:51 | 0:26:58 | |
weather will gather in the west. In
between the cloud will break up and | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
those temperatures could be low
enough to bring the risk of icy | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
patches later in the night as well.
Tomorrow, we will find the | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
thickening cloud, strengthening
winds and outbreaks of rain pushing | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
eastwards across all areas. The rain
could be heavy at times. It cheers | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
up more in the afternoon. More
sunshine following on and some | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
showers. Those showers turning
increasingly wintry in Scotland and | 0:27:19 | 0:27:24 | |
Northern Ireland. Temperatures five
degrees at best. Further south you | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
could get nine or ten for a while in
southern England and south Wales. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
Keep an eye on this snow. Snot just
across Scotland and Northern | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
Ireland, we may get snow at lower
levels briefly tomorrow evening in | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
Wales, Midland and northern England,
to top things up and keep that ice | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
risk going. As we head into
Thursday, we are left with sunshine | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
and showers. The showers will be
wintry, snow more likely over the | 0:27:44 | 0:27:49 | |
hills and particularly in Scotland
where the winds are lighter. We will | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
have stronger, blustery winds and
temperatures beginning to fall away. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
Three in the central belt, seven in
southern England and south Wales. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |
More wintry showers around coastal
areas as we head into Friday. The | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
wind direction changing. More colder
air on the way. Not as cold as it | 0:28:04 | 0:28:10 | |
has been recently. Darren, thank you
very much. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:15 | |
Before we go, just time to tell
you about a special report | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
coming up at 10.00pm. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 | |
Fergal Keane will have a special
report on a new humanitarian crisis | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
unfolding in the Democratic Republic
of Congo in Central Africa. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:27 | |
We lost our children,
they were killed. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:32 | |
Such suffering isn't the natural
condition of these people, | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
it's man-made. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:44 |
