0:00:08 > 0:00:10The exclusive men-only charity dinner which has been running

0:00:10 > 0:00:12for more than 30 years cancels all future events after hostesses

0:00:12 > 0:00:17say they were sexually harassed.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19The event at London's Dorchester hotel was filmed by an undercover

0:00:19 > 0:00:22reporter who says women working there were told to wear skimpy black

0:00:22 > 0:00:23dresses and matching underwear.

0:00:23 > 0:00:28Women were bought as bait for men.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31Rich men, not a mile from where we stand as if that is

0:00:31 > 0:00:34an acceptable behaviour.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38It is totally unacceptable.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Charities like Great Ormond Street who benefited from large donations

0:00:40 > 0:00:42have said they're handing back the money.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Also tonight:

0:00:45 > 0:00:50Jailed for 175 years for molesting young gymnasts over decades -

0:00:50 > 0:00:52the disgraced USA gymnastics team doctor, Larry Nassar apologises

0:00:52 > 0:00:55to his victims in court.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Controversial monkey business - 20 years after Dolly the Sheep -

0:00:58 > 0:01:01scientists in China have cloned two monkeys.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Dame Tessa Jowell - the former Labour minister -

0:01:03 > 0:01:06gives her first interview since being diagnosed last May

0:01:06 > 0:01:09with a severe form of brain cancer.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12I am not afraid.

0:01:12 > 0:01:19I feel very clear about my sense of purpose.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22And just 11 years old - the schoolgirl from Cardiff off

0:01:22 > 0:01:24to the Commonwealth Games - she's thought to be

0:01:24 > 0:01:27the youngest ever competitor.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30And coming up on Sportsday later in the hour on BBC News:

0:01:30 > 0:01:33The FA explains why it appointed Phil Neville as womens head coach

0:01:33 > 0:01:40and why they won't charge him for historic sexist tweets.

0:01:55 > 0:02:01Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03The President's Club has held men only charity dinners in London

0:02:03 > 0:02:06for more than 30 years and raised tens of millions of

0:02:06 > 0:02:08pounds for good causes.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11But tonight all future dinners have been cancelled

0:02:11 > 0:02:15after an undercover reporter - employed as hostess -

0:02:15 > 0:02:19says she and some of the other women were groped and sexually harassed.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22A government adviser who helped organise the event last week

0:02:22 > 0:02:24at the Dorchester has resigned.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26And some of the charities for which money was raised

0:02:26 > 0:02:28are handing back the donations.

0:02:28 > 0:02:34Here's our Special Correspondent Lucy Manning.

0:02:34 > 0:02:39The men appeared to be enjoying themselves at their charity dinner,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42the women working there much less so, with claims that they were

0:02:42 > 0:02:49groped at the men only event for those in business and politics.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Women working as table hostesses were made to wear revealing outfits,

0:02:56 > 0:03:00their phones confiscated.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Madison Marriage is the Financial Times

0:03:03 > 0:03:06journalist who went undercover to expose the dinner.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Multiple women told me that they had been touched

0:03:09 > 0:03:13inappropriately, and that ranged from, you know,

0:03:13 > 0:03:17holding their hands, touching their bums, kind of

0:03:17 > 0:03:20grabbing them, pulling them into their laps.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yeah, there was a complete range of sexual harassment.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24And did that happen to you?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Yes.

0:03:26 > 0:03:33Yeah, I had three men touch me inappropriately.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Were you surprised that this was happening in this day

0:03:35 > 0:03:36and age?

0:03:36 > 0:03:39I am surprised by the institutionalised scale of this

0:03:39 > 0:03:44particular event.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47The charity auction offered the men only diners

0:03:47 > 0:03:49hospitality with the Foreign Secretary and Bank of England

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Governor, although both said they knew nothing

0:03:51 > 0:03:55about it, or even the

0:03:55 > 0:03:58chance to, as it was put "Spice up the wife with plastic surgery".

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Some of the men are now paying for their

0:04:00 > 0:04:03attendance.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05David Meller, one of the organisers, resigned as a member of

0:04:05 > 0:04:09the Department for Education's board.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Education Minister Nadhim Zahawi faced questions about his

0:04:11 > 0:04:13decision to go to the dinner.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16He tweeted "I do unequivocally condemned his behaviour.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18The report is truly shocking.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23I would never attend a men only function ever".

0:04:23 > 0:04:26David Walliams, who hosted the event, tweeted, I did not witness

0:04:26 > 0:04:28any of the kind of behaviour that allegedly occurred and am appalled

0:04:28 > 0:04:32by the reports.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Down the road from the Dorchester, where the dinner was

0:04:34 > 0:04:40held last week, MPs couldn't contain their anger today.

0:04:40 > 0:04:45Women were bought as bait for men, rich men, not a

0:04:45 > 0:04:48mile from where we stand, as if that is an acceptable behaviour.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52It is totally unacceptable.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55It is quite extraordinary to me, Mr Speaker,

0:04:55 > 0:04:58that in the 21st century, allegations of this kind are still

0:04:58 > 0:04:59emerging.

0:04:59 > 0:05:05Women have the right to feel safe wherever they work.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Charities are now returning money donated by the Presidents Club.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Great Ormond Street says it will hand back

0:05:10 > 0:05:13half a million pounds.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16BBC News has learned of claims that it was warned

0:05:16 > 0:05:18previously not to take the money.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21We have been told at a meeting that it

0:05:21 > 0:05:23was raised with senior fundraisers that the Presidents Club had

0:05:23 > 0:05:25questionable practices and whether money should

0:05:25 > 0:05:28be taken from them.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Great Ormond Street has strict policies and it was brought up

0:05:30 > 0:05:32whether the Presidents Club was the right organisation for

0:05:32 > 0:05:40the charity to receive support from.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Great Ormond Street said tonight: "We have

0:05:42 > 0:05:44checked our records and can find nothing

0:05:44 > 0:05:46to suggest we were aware of

0:05:46 > 0:05:47all discussed any concerns about the Presidents Club".

0:05:47 > 0:05:50It's a charity event supposed to help children that

0:05:50 > 0:05:55left women feeling harassed.

0:05:55 > 0:06:01The Presidents Club is no more, its trustees and notes tonight it would

0:06:01 > 0:06:04be shutting hosting no more charity event and multiple charities are now

0:06:04 > 0:06:08saying they will try to return the money raised that these dinners. As

0:06:08 > 0:06:13MPs pointed out it has to be possible, these days, for charities

0:06:13 > 0:06:17to raise money in a way that doesn't leave women feeling harassed. And

0:06:17 > 0:06:20feeling humiliated.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23He was the doctor for the USA gymnastics team

0:06:23 > 0:06:27for almost two decades.

0:06:27 > 0:06:35He treated young American gymnasts at four Olympic Games.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Tonight 54-year-old Larry Nassar has been sentenced to 175 years in jail

0:06:39 > 0:06:40for molesting young girls.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43More than 160 of his victims have given testimony in court.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46This afternoon he apologised to them saying he would carry their words

0:06:46 > 0:06:47with him for the rest of his days.

0:06:47 > 0:06:54From the court in Michigan, Rajini Vaidynathan reports.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59The tables are turned, Larry. We are here, we have our voices and we are

0:06:59 > 0:07:02not going anywhere.The amount of physical, mental and emotional

0:07:02 > 0:07:07trauma this man has forced upon me is immeasurable.Over the last seven

0:07:07 > 0:07:12days their voices and their stories have become hard to ignore. 156

0:07:12 > 0:07:17women say they were sexually abused by this man, Larry Nassar. During

0:07:17 > 0:07:23the hearing, the judge invited other women who had been abused to come

0:07:23 > 0:07:29forward. The response was unprecedented, what started as ten

0:07:29 > 0:07:32convictions turned into an outpouring of testimony. Today she

0:07:32 > 0:07:37did not hold back when delivering her verdict.I'm giving you 175

0:07:37 > 0:07:43years which is 2100 months.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50years which is 2100 months. I just signed your death warrant.Today he

0:07:50 > 0:07:55had this response for his victims. And acceptable apology to all of you

0:07:55 > 0:07:59is impossible to write and convey. I will carry your words with me for

0:07:59 > 0:08:07the rest of my days.Described as a monster and as Satan in court the

0:08:07 > 0:08:11former USA gymnastics team doctor treated hundreds of women over

0:08:11 > 0:08:16decades. From decorating Olympians and state-level gymnasts to the

0:08:16 > 0:08:19children of family friends. Sent to him for medical treatment instead of

0:08:19 > 0:08:25taking away the pain, he stole the lessons. Speaking on a podcast in

0:08:25 > 0:08:292013 before his abuse was uncovered, he was recorded talking about his

0:08:29 > 0:08:35views on the welfare of the children under his care.You screw up 1's

0:08:35 > 0:08:42with one of those gymnasts and it'll spread like wildfire.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45spread like wildfire. You break the chain of trust with them because

0:08:45 > 0:08:51they will never trust you again. They will tell the other gymnasts.

0:08:51 > 0:09:00Jimmy dancer was part of the US Bronze medal winning Olympic team.I

0:09:00 > 0:09:05do not feel like I had a choice even if I felt something was wrong.She

0:09:05 > 0:09:09says car and other young women were ignored when they tried to complain

0:09:09 > 0:09:13about Nassar to officials. She says the governing body USA gymnastics

0:09:13 > 0:09:19has a lot to answer for.I know doctor Nassar is a monster but those

0:09:19 > 0:09:24people around him who have been protecting him, those are real

0:09:24 > 0:09:28monsters too and they need to be held accountable.The focus of this

0:09:28 > 0:09:31sentencing has been on the survivals sentencing has been on the survivals

0:09:31 > 0:09:35of Larry Nassar's abuse and perhaps the biggest victory for them is not

0:09:35 > 0:09:39just seeing him behind bars but knowing that together they founded

0:09:39 > 0:09:42the collective strength to confront him.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47A jury's been told that a man accused of carrying out the Finsbury

0:09:47 > 0:09:50park terror attack last June kept smiling and even blew a kiss

0:09:50 > 0:09:52at the gathering crowd after ploughing a van

0:09:52 > 0:09:55into muslim worshippers.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Darren Osborne from Cardiff is accused of murder and attempted

0:09:57 > 0:09:59murder after the attack in North London which

0:09:59 > 0:10:02left one man dead.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06An imam who was one of the first on the scene told the court how

0:10:06 > 0:10:08he stopped the crowd attacking the driver of the van.

0:10:08 > 0:10:13From court, Daniel Sandford reports.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Witness after witness described how the van revved its engines just

0:10:16 > 0:10:20before smashing into the group of Muslim men and women.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Some survivors described how they feared for their lives,

0:10:23 > 0:10:27thinking someone would get out of the van with a gun or a knife.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30The jury heard this 999 call made by Adnan Mohammed,

0:10:30 > 0:10:38who was asking for ambulances.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49Within the hour, 51-year-old Makram Ali was declared dead at the scene.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Hamdi Al Faiq suffered life-changing injuries,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55including a broken pelvis, broken ribs and a broken foot.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59He told the court how friends pulled him out from under the van.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01People grabbed the man they believe to be the driver

0:11:01 > 0:11:04of the van to detain him.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08The court heard that some were punching and kicking him.

0:11:08 > 0:11:13The imam of the local mosque, Mohammed Mahmoud, stopped people

0:11:13 > 0:11:15attacking the suspected driver, telling the jury "He should answer

0:11:15 > 0:11:18for his crimes in a court such as this and not a court

0:11:18 > 0:11:21in the street".

0:11:21 > 0:11:28In a statement to the courts, Adnan Mohammed, the man

0:11:28 > 0:11:30been detained said to the crowd, "I've done my job.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32You can kill me now".

0:11:32 > 0:11:34He was constantly smiling, Adnan Mohammed recalled.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37The man on trial, Darren Osborne, denies charges of murder

0:11:37 > 0:11:40and attempted murder.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43The court was played video from a police officer's body-worn

0:11:43 > 0:11:45camera from the night, in which Darren Osborne rants

0:11:45 > 0:11:47about Muslims and says "Have some of that.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Have some of your own.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51At least I had a proper go".

0:11:51 > 0:11:57Daniel Sandford, BBC News, at Woolwich Crown Court.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's emerged that the victims of the serial sex attacker,

0:11:59 > 0:12:04John Worboys, were given written assurances about how long

0:12:04 > 0:12:07he would spend in prison - suggesting that he would effectively

0:12:07 > 0:12:11serve a life sentence.

0:12:11 > 0:12:17In the letters it was suggested he would be unlikely to be charged with

0:12:17 > 0:12:21further crimes as he was down for a lengthy sentence.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Many of his victims are angry that Worboys has been approved

0:12:24 > 0:12:26for release from prison by the Parole Board after serving

0:12:26 > 0:12:27less than ten years.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Figures out today show the number people in work has

0:12:29 > 0:12:31risen to a record high.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Unemployment in the UK fell by 3000 to 1.44 million

0:12:33 > 0:12:34in the three months to November.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37But the data from the Office for National Statistics also shows

0:12:37 > 0:12:40that wage growth remained below the level of inflation.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44The former Prime Minister David Cameron has been overheard saying

0:12:44 > 0:12:47that Brexit has turned out 'less badly' than feared.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50In comments caught on camera, Mr Cameron, who campaigned

0:12:50 > 0:12:53to remain in the EU, said leaving the EU was a mistake

0:12:53 > 0:12:59but 'not a disaster'.

0:13:17 > 0:13:22Our political correspondent Vicki Young is in Westminster for us.

0:13:22 > 0:13:29How much of a surprise are his comments?Mr Cameron in the past has

0:13:29 > 0:13:31been caught on camera saying things when he did not know he was being

0:13:31 > 0:13:35recorded and that doesn't seem to have changed. The point is here that

0:13:35 > 0:13:40those words are in stark contrast to the campaign he headed to keep

0:13:40 > 0:13:44Britain in the European Union. It was dubbed Project Fear, dire

0:13:44 > 0:13:47warnings about the effect on the economy, that it would cost every

0:13:47 > 0:13:50household thousands of pounds every year and rising unemployment and

0:13:50 > 0:13:55lower growth. I have been gauging reaction here amongst Conservative

0:13:55 > 0:14:00MPs. Those on the Brexit side of the argument as you'd imagine are pretty

0:14:00 > 0:14:03thrilled pealing David Cameron has come to their way of thinking.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Another said they thought Mr Cameron did not really believe the disaster

0:14:07 > 0:14:11scenario anyway it was just part of the campaign to stay in job and keep

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Britain inside the EU. Another said they were thrilled and I think it

0:14:15 > 0:14:19does reflect the mood of some Conservative MPs at least who made a

0:14:19 > 0:14:24campaign for a remain but now think time to make the most of any

0:14:24 > 0:14:29opportunities that might be outside of the European Union. It's not the

0:14:29 > 0:14:32same for everybody, another conservative only the Mane side said

0:14:32 > 0:14:35it is far too early to judge the consequences of Brexit, after all we

0:14:35 > 0:14:36have not left yet.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45Our top story this evening:

0:14:45 > 0:14:51An exclusive men only charity dinner has cancelled all events after

0:14:51 > 0:14:57hostesses say they were sexually harassed.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01Phil Neville apologises for sexist tweets on his first day as head

0:15:01 > 0:15:03coach of the all England women's football team.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05coach of the all England women's football team.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Coming up on Sportsday in the next 15 minutes on BBC News:

0:15:07 > 0:15:09The Australian Open semi-final line-up is complete

0:15:09 > 0:15:15and Roger Federer is one step closer to another Grand Slam title.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18She was diagnosed with a severe form of brain cancer last May.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Now Dame Tessa Jowell, the former Labour Cabinet Minister,

0:15:21 > 0:15:24has spoken publicly about it for the first time.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26She's called for more innovative cancer treatments to be

0:15:26 > 0:15:31available on the NHS.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33She told the Today programme's Nick Robinson that she was

0:15:33 > 0:15:41absolutely 100% focussed on staying alive and says she's not afraid.

0:15:45 > 0:15:50Passion, determination, a sense of mission, that is what Tessa Jowell

0:15:50 > 0:15:53displayed as a minister who helped bring the Olympics to London. Now

0:15:53 > 0:15:57she is showing all that and more as she speaks publicly for the first

0:15:57 > 0:16:04time about the brain tumour she discovered she had last May.It came

0:16:04 > 0:16:13with no expectation.Nothing? Absolutely nothing at all, I did not

0:16:13 > 0:16:17have a single apparent symptom.Her symptoms now include a struggle to

0:16:17 > 0:16:23find words which used to come so easily. Everyone who has had cancer

0:16:23 > 0:16:28knows that particularly for people like you and for me, the hardest

0:16:28 > 0:16:35thing is to get used to not being in control.I do not think I

0:16:35 > 0:16:39immediately leapt to the inevitability of cancer. I think

0:16:39 > 0:16:48that to begin with I felt that I would have this tumour, that it

0:16:48 > 0:16:54would be operated on, and that would be it. It is actually much harder

0:16:54 > 0:17:06now because now my life is day by day affected by this tumour. And it

0:17:06 > 0:17:16is affected by the

0:17:16 > 0:17:22is affected by the uncertainty of what my cancer is actually going to

0:17:22 > 0:17:26mean.I can feel your frustration because there are words occasionally

0:17:26 > 0:17:35that do not come.The tumour bloody well does this to you.Tessa Jowell

0:17:35 > 0:17:40is not asking for sympathy, she is demanding change, change to allow

0:17:40 > 0:17:43cancer patients to switch from one drug trial to the next, rather than

0:17:43 > 0:17:50having to wait months when months maybe all they have.There is no

0:17:55 > 0:18:04is not going to have any effect, so let's go onto the next one.A

0:18:04 > 0:18:09patient might say, I am willing to take the risk, I am willing to try

0:18:09 > 0:18:14one, two, three things whatever the side effects?That is exactly the

0:18:14 > 0:18:19kind of risk patients should be free to take.People listening to you

0:18:19 > 0:18:23will be thinking, why do you car up on the sofa, be with your family and

0:18:23 > 0:18:30friends and look after yourself. Absolutely impossible. I have so

0:18:30 > 0:18:40much life. It is the most extraordinary, blessed and...And

0:18:40 > 0:18:45recreating sense. I have been lucky enough to read the speech you will

0:18:45 > 0:18:51give to the House of Lords and you end with some words from Seamus

0:18:51 > 0:18:56Heaney the poet and you mean it. I am not afraid.I am not afraid. I

0:18:56 > 0:19:04feel very clear about my sense of purpose and what I want to do and

0:19:04 > 0:19:08how do I know how long it is going to last? I am certainly going to do

0:19:08 > 0:19:13everything I can to make it a very long time.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Dame Tessa Jowell talking there to Nick Robinson.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17First there was Dolly the Sheep, now 20 years later scientists

0:19:17 > 0:19:19in China have cloned two monkeys.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21The move is both significant and highly controversial.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh is here.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27First of all, why?

0:19:27 > 0:19:36Let me introduce you to eat baby macaque monkeys, genetically

0:19:36 > 0:19:40identical, clones, born in Shanghai, exploring their incubator. They were

0:19:40 > 0:19:45created using the Dolly the sheep cloning technique which dates back

0:19:45 > 0:19:50more than two decades and involves simply transferring DNA to a donor

0:19:50 > 0:19:57egg. Since Dolly, we have had cloned cats, dogs, rats and pigs, you name

0:19:57 > 0:20:04it. The technique itself is not new. And it is very inefficient, it took

0:20:04 > 0:20:1079 attempts to create these monkeys. They have done it because the

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Chinese scientists say the cloned monkeys could help speed up research

0:20:13 > 0:20:19into human diseases. But it is controversial and not the first

0:20:19 > 0:20:24cloned, nonhuman primate created using the Dolly the sheep technique.

0:20:24 > 0:20:29In theory that takes us one step closer to cloning humans, but no

0:20:29 > 0:20:32reputable scientist would want to do that and it is illegal here.Thank

0:20:32 > 0:20:37you.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41A nun has broken down in tears and apologised if any child

0:20:41 > 0:20:43at a notorious care home in Lanarkshire suffered abuse.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45But she refused to acknowledge that children had been harmed

0:20:45 > 0:20:48at Smyllum Children's Home despite dozens of former residents

0:20:48 > 0:20:50claiming they were attacked by nuns between the 1940s and 1970s.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54The order did acknowledge however failing to investigate previous

0:20:54 > 0:20:55allegations of abuse.

0:20:55 > 0:21:02Michael Buchanan reports.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06Former residents say a culture of evil existed at Smyllum Children's

0:21:06 > 0:21:11Home, a children's home in Lanark run by the daughters of Charity and

0:21:11 > 0:21:16dozens of people who lived here have alleged they were abused. The BBC

0:21:16 > 0:21:20investigation also suggested around 400 children had been buried in this

0:21:20 > 0:21:26cemetery nearby in an unmarked grave. Theresa Tolmie-McGrane said

0:21:26 > 0:21:29she was sexually assaulted by a priest and punished by a man who

0:21:29 > 0:21:34discovered the abuse. She find the fact they refused to admit what

0:21:34 > 0:21:40happened is ridiculous.It is just like this red thread going through

0:21:40 > 0:21:47everyone. They have been physically and grossly abused.Do you accept

0:21:47 > 0:21:52the abuse took place? Today the current head of the

0:21:52 > 0:21:54charity came to Edinburgh to give some answers in evidence to the

0:21:54 > 0:22:00Scottish Child abuse enquiry. The sister offered a sincere apology.

0:22:00 > 0:22:07She said through tears:

0:22:07 > 0:22:09She said through tears: But she refused to admit abuse had taken

0:22:09 > 0:22:14place. It is totally against everything we stand for, I am

0:22:14 > 0:22:18finding it hard to understand it. The nuns did admit failing to

0:22:18 > 0:22:21investigate more than 100 allegations of abuse made in the

0:22:21 > 0:22:281990s. Eddie McColl, who says he was beaten by the nuns in the 1950s, was

0:22:28 > 0:22:33appalled by today's evidence.It is if this happened and if that

0:22:33 > 0:22:39happened. It is not if, it did happen, they are in denial.Today's

0:22:39 > 0:22:43evidence will be of little comfort to the former residents who said

0:22:43 > 0:22:47they were abused. Some were hoping for an apology, an acknowledgement

0:22:47 > 0:22:51of what had happened and the unwillingness to do that had really

0:22:51 > 0:22:55infuriated them. The nuns could give few details of how many children

0:22:55 > 0:23:00were buried in the unmarked grave. An expert was working with them to

0:23:00 > 0:23:01identify each body.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04An expert was working with them to identify each body.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's his first full day in the job but already

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Phil Neville, the new head coach of the England Women's football

0:23:09 > 0:23:11team, has had to apologise for sexist remarks on Twitter.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14The former Manchester United player said the comments were not "a true

0:23:14 > 0:23:16and genuine reflection" of his beliefs.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks is at Wembley.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20Somewhat embarrassing.

0:23:20 > 0:23:27What kind of things was he saying?

0:23:27 > 0:23:32Well, it is another day, another fine mess for the FA. These tweets

0:23:32 > 0:23:36around six years ago alluded to things such as women being too busy

0:23:36 > 0:23:41doing domestic chores to watch sport and an ill-advised joke about

0:23:41 > 0:23:47battering his wife. The tweets have been heavily criticised with Kick It

0:23:47 > 0:23:51Out asking the FA whether they plan to come down on Phil Neville for

0:23:51 > 0:23:55these comments. They have said they will not do that and their

0:23:55 > 0:24:00background vetting process and earth some but not all of these tweets.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04Phil Neville has deleted his Twitter account and apologised, saying it

0:24:04 > 0:24:07was not a true and genuine reflection of his character and

0:24:07 > 0:24:11beliefs. But the real issue is whether Phil Neville is actually

0:24:11 > 0:24:16qualified to do the job. He has never worked in management before or

0:24:16 > 0:24:21in women's football before and he did not apply. The FA chief

0:24:21 > 0:24:24executive Martin Belen confirmed that two of the four final

0:24:24 > 0:24:28candidates were women and they withdrew. He said the process was

0:24:28 > 0:24:36fair and rigorous, but women in sport said it showed scant regard

0:24:36 > 0:24:36for the process.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39sport said it showed scant regard for the process.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Anna Hursey is only 11 years, but in April she will be heading

0:24:42 > 0:24:45to Australia's Gold coast to compete for Wales in the Commonwealth Games.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47It's thought she's the youngest competitor ever selected.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50But she's taking it all in her stride, practising three

0:24:50 > 0:24:51hours a day after school.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Sian Lloyd went to meet her.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Anna Hursey has earned her place in the Wales Commonwealth team.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Practising three hours a day after school, the 11-year-old has

0:25:00 > 0:25:03already proven her skills.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06She won her first senior international a year ago.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Anna is no stranger to competition, but this will be her

0:25:09 > 0:25:11biggest challenge yet.

0:25:11 > 0:25:16Yeah, I feel really special, really proud.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20I just don't really want to go there and be like I am small

0:25:20 > 0:25:23and I can't compete, so hopefully I will like try my

0:25:23 > 0:25:30hardest and try and win a medal.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Anna's talent was spotted early.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35She first picked up a bat aged five and was taken to China to learn

0:25:35 > 0:25:38from the best when she could barely see over the table.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42Since then she has been coached closer to home in Cardiff.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Probably the best 11-year-old I have ever seen.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Boys and girls, she is up there with them.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51I remember seeing Paul Drinkhall, who is number one in the UK right

0:25:51 > 0:25:52now and she is up there.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55I saw him at 11 and she is at that level.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Amazing.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Oh, my gosh.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Two at the same time, that is amazing.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Anna is celebrating her exciting news at school today,

0:26:03 > 0:26:06teaching her friends how to play table tennis.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11She is not really a show-off about it or anything, she like act

0:26:11 > 0:26:14She is not really a show-off about it or anything, she like acts

0:26:14 > 0:26:15as if it is something normal.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Do you think she is an inspiration?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Definitely, for those kids who like table tennis or any sport

0:26:20 > 0:26:22they can achieve something amazing just like Anna.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26She will have to miss lessons to go to the games in Australia

0:26:26 > 0:26:30but is already thought to be one of the youngest competitors at this

0:26:30 > 0:26:32level, and will make history if she does win a medal there.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Sian Lloyd, BBC News, Cardiff.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Time for a look at the weather.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39Here's Tomasz Schafernaker.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43Here's Tomasz Schafernaker.

0:26:43 > 0:26:49Lots and lots of rain. Yes, absolutely and in the word wet. It

0:26:49 > 0:26:55was heavy everywhere today. But it only lasted for a relatively short

0:26:55 > 0:26:59period of time. But the skies were great and we had hailstorms and

0:26:59 > 0:27:06severe gales and storm force winds brought by storm Georgina which

0:27:06 > 0:27:10impacted north-western parts of Scotland. The gusts were well in

0:27:10 > 0:27:17excess of 80 miles an hour and in the hills over 100 miles an hour.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21The graphics are playing up just a little bit but we will get there.

0:27:21 > 0:27:28This is the radar. The rain has mostly cleared away now. We have got

0:27:28 > 0:27:33showers left over and storm Georgina is approaching the coast of Norway.

0:27:33 > 0:27:38In its wake are brisk winds and showers around through the night,

0:27:38 > 0:27:42particularly in western areas and eastern parts of the country. A lot

0:27:42 > 0:27:48of clear weather and it is not desperately cold. 5 degrees is the

0:27:48 > 0:27:53overnight low. Tomorrow it stars of Sunny in central and eastern areas.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57In the morning the weather is fine, but in the afternoon wore winds

0:27:57 > 0:28:03coming in of the Atlantic. You will have clear blue skies followed by

0:28:03 > 0:28:06billowing, dark clouds in the afternoon and there might even be

0:28:06 > 0:28:12some thunder as well. A different day on Friday. It should be bright

0:28:12 > 0:28:17and it should stay dry through the day. A pleasant enough day on Friday

0:28:17 > 0:28:22and come the weekend and the next storm. The winds will pick up and

0:28:22 > 0:28:27the weather front moves across the UK on Saturday and there will be

0:28:27 > 0:28:33outbreaks of rain on both days. But at least it will be relatively mild.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36That is all from the BBC News at Six.
