4:33 pm
up studio: post office inquiry wrapping up for the day after a full day of evidence by stephen bradshaw who is a former post office investigator and was involved in quite a few of the cases were sub—postmasters were prosecuted wrongfully for theft. michael and susan rudkin who ran a post office in leicestershire were among the thousands of people who were affected by this scandal. susan was convicted of losing £44,000 and given a suspended prison sentence. our reporter has been speaking to them. michael rudkin describes the last 15 years as a living hell. the couple run the post office here in ibstock. michael's wife, susan, is still too upset to talk about what's happened. she was convicted of losing £44,000. she was given a suspended sentence and was electronically tagged. her conviction was later overturned. for michael, today's news is a step in the right direction. i was pleased that the overall
4:34 pm
principle of making sure that everybody has this blanket overturning of convictions because they've waited far too long for this. it feels as though we're heading definitely in the right direction, after 20 years, i hasten to add. journalist richard brooks has been following the story for more than a decade. many of the victims, well, they've all been waiting far too long. many are now quite old. some have died. so the onus really is on getting this sorted out very quickly. and it's rough around the edges, but it has to be done. since the drama aired, michael's phone has barely stopped ringing, with both requests for interviews and messages from other victims of horizon. in the drama, michael was played by shaun dooley. really was a surreal moment. we're watching it, along comes shaun dooley, who was playing my role and introduced himself, "my name is michael rudkin" and i'm sat there and i'm thinking, "no, i'm michael rudkin, "you're not michael rudkin".
4:35 pm
and then watching the programme as it unfolded, it was such an accurate depiction of what went off over them years. michael says that the impact since the series has gone out has been immense. feeling castigated throughout your community and your friends, slowly they ebb away from you, keeping a distance. all of a sudden, 20 years later, i'm getting messages from people who literally i haven't spoken to for 20 years, saying, "we saw the programme, we didn't realise, so sorry." the couple have slowly rebuilt their lives and now run a b&b, but the legacy of what's happened still lingers. if you could even remotely think of what hell would look like, then multiply that by ten, that's how our lives have been these last 15 years. absolute hell.
4:36 pm
in a statement, a post office spokesperson said they're fully aware of the human cost of the scandal and are doing all they can to right the wrongs of the past. to date, offers of compensation totalling more than £138 million have been made. michael says he wants to be recompensed for their loss of earnings and to be compensated for what's happened to them. and it's only then that he and his wife can move on. helen astle, bbc news, leicestershire. among those wrongly prosecuted is hasmukh shingadia. his post office was used by the princess of wales when she was growing up nearby. he even got an invitation to her wedding, but his life was torn apart after he was prosecuted. spend any time in hasmukh shingadia's village shop in berkshire and, like hundreds of other former postmasters up and down the uk, you understand why they're called a pillar
4:37 pm
of the community. special treat. exactly. how are the girls? they're fine, thank you. in common with those hundreds, he was also accused of theft and hounded by the post office after accounting failures with the malfunctioning horizon computer system. they were dark days. it was hard, really, really hard, we went through some really bad times. there were times i had suicidal thoughts. what kept you going? what kept you fighting? the fighting was to prove myself right at some point and also for the sake of my family. i couldn't let them down. it wasn't their fault so why should i do something which would hurt them any further? the princess of wales was brought up here. hash and his wife were invited to william and kate's wedding. the family were among those who supported him. others, though, turned their backs. not only the community but also members of my own family as well. but luckily there were other
4:38 pm
people who stood by me, especially a very good friend of mine who went round to get some petitions signed, which were then presented to the court at the time of my conviction and the judge was impressed. he said he'd never seen that before. he said it would be a crime to send me to prison. hash had been a magistrate but was in the dock himself, accused of stealing money from the post office. he was given a suspended sentence and ordered to do almost 200 hours of community service. that conviction was overturned nine years later. thanks to the success of the itv drama, he welcomes the prime minister's pledge to exonerate those wrongfully convicted. hat
4:39 pm
minister's pledge to exonerate those wrongfully convicted.— wrongfully convicted. not 'ust for m self, wrongfully convicted. not 'ust for myself. but i wrongfully convicted. not 'ust for myself, but the h wrongfully convicted. not 'ust for myself, but the other _ myself, but the other sub—postmasters you have been waiting for so long to have their conviction overturned. they will be able to hold their heads up high and say it has now been quashed. the village shop is, of course, no longer a post office and his customers are fully aware of what he's been through. we had a party when the conviction was overturned, there was a big party and celebrations here in the shop, so, yeah, it's been really, really awful for all involved. misfortune for them but hopefully the government will sort it out. and get their money back. what's happened to them in the past is totally— what's happened to them in the past is totally disgusting, _ what's happened to them in the past is totally disgusting, it _ what's happened to them in the past is totally disgusting, it should - is totally disgusting, it should never— is totally disgusting, it should never have _ is totally disgusting, it should never have occurred - is totally disgusting, it should never have occurred in - is totally disgusting, it should never have occurred in the - is totally disgusting, it should. never have occurred in the first place — now, if you re—declare everything, it'll balance, 0k? this is so helpful, thank you. don't go away, stay with me till i've done it. apologies, exoneration, compensation — although decades late,
4:40 pm
are all welcome, but as the itv drama highlights, hash says what remains is the search for properjustice and ultimately, the truth. john maguire, bbc news, berkshire. let's listen back to some of the evidence given by stephen bradshaw today. he was asked by the inquiry counciljulian blake about whether he knew if there had been issues with the horizon it system. in 2010 and 2011 you _ with the horizon it system. in 2010 and 2011 you are _ with the horizon it system. in 2010 and 2011 you are certainly _ with the horizon it system. in 2010 and 2011 you are certainly aware - with the horizon it system. in 2010 and 2011 you are certainly aware of| and 2011 you are certainly aware of and 2011 you are certainly aware of a body of cases relating to the horizon system that were building up. from that information, yes. ii up. from that information, es. 3 from that information, yes. if it's come u- from that information, yes. if it's come up within — from that information, yes. if it's come up within the _ from that information, yes. if it's come up within the interview, - from that information, yes. if it's come up within the interview, i i from that information, yes. if it's come up within the interview, i took actions _ come up within the interview, i took actions to— come up within the interview, i took actions to try — come up within the interview, i took actions to try and find out what the issues _ actions to try and find out what the issues with— actions to try and find out what the issues with horizon wire, hence the logs, _ issues with horizon wire, hence the logs, -- _ issues with horizon wire, hence the logs, -- what— issues with horizon wire, hence the logs, —— what the issues were. in

4:43 pm
waiting for those involved today. i imagine stephen bradshaw amongst them, are due to depart. earlier, he spoke about his involvement in the criminal investigations of nine sub—postmasters, lots of investigators involved over the past 20 years. he denied that he and his colleagues behaved like mafia gangsters towards branch managers, they were accused of being aggressive and intimidatory behaviour. he said in a statement he signed in 2012 declaring the post office's confidence in the software. under much scrutiny right now, the fujitsu horizon software that led to this false accounting. he said the document was written by lawyers, not him. between 1999 and 2015, the post office prosecuted 700 postmasters and sub—postmistress is based on
4:44 pm
this faulty horizon it system. many have been fighting back for many years. some have had their convictions overturned but it was really the fact that itv broadcast a drama around all of this earlier on this month that has thrust the scandal back into the spotlight. to keep across the bbc news life page for any more developments on this story. we will be covering the inquiry again tomorrow when it resumes. you're watching bbc news. china has issued a statement to tie wine before the election saying a wine before the election saying a win for the frontrunner would pose danger to taiwan. china sees taiwan as a breakaway province. china's affairs officer said it hoped the people of taiwan would see what was the extreme harm... in its attempt
4:45 pm
to influence the election. our correspondent has been speaking to people in the province closest to taiwan to find out more about china's relationship with the self—governing island. bracing themselves against the briskjanuary winds. these chinese tourists peer towards taiwan. in reality, sea fog clouds their view. undeterred, they make the most of their visit. this is as close as they can get to taiwan. they're banned from travelling to the self—governed island, which beijing claims as its territory and has vowed to take one day. translation: my biggest wish after visiting here is that i hope i the island of taiwan can return to our motherland soon. even if taiwan is taken back, i hope it's done via peaceful negotiations. in this way, there is no harm inflicted. if there is a war, the casualties will be huge.
4:46 pm
we want peace. but worries about a war barely register with these seafood workers. even though they live here on the taiwan strait, they have bigger concerns. translation: i don't care | whether it's reunified or not, it's up to the officials. we just want enough to eat. we want a better life. we don't care about other things. president xi's policies on taiwan involve two things — carrot and stick. for the carrot, this city, the main one in the province, is offering incentives for taiwanese people to come and live and work here, including much cheaper rent. and here is the stick — china's latest aircraft carrier, named after the fujian province closest to taiwan, was unveiled on state media last week. the sound of militaryjets and warships likely drown out
4:47 pm
beijing's attempts at wooing the island's people. this man came here from taiwan for work. he tries to entice chinese customers with simpler taipei flavours and is aware the relationship between his past and current homes is fractious. translation: i think the feelings are good between the people, - but i don't know how the two governments feel about each other. i hope ties can be normalised. i hope the two sides can be like two brothers, like a family. many taiwanese are thought to be descendants of immigrants from this province. beijing plays on these familial ties to outline a vision of a future china unified with taiwan. but those likely to listen to this view are its own people, not those living across the street. laura baker, bbc news, fujian.

scientists at the royal botanical gardens in kew discovered many more species of plants next year in places like the top of a volcano or clinging to freezing rocks, they include arctic fun guy, a plant that grows underground, an orchid found at the top of a volcano and even a possible meat eating plant from mozambique. professor mark chase was involved in the naming of the new species from australia. i asked him how it felt to find something completely new. it’s how it felt to find something completely new.— how it felt to find something completely new. it's a wonderful thin to completely new. it's a wonderful thing to realise _ completely new. it's a wonderful thing to realise you've _ completely new. it's a wonderful| thing to realise you've discovered something new but some of these species were already known locally. the palm was known to the people in that area, you just had been recognised by anybody outside that area —— itjust had not been recognised. so in some cases these are not totally new, but new to

environment. the former manager of the england mens football team sven—goran eriksson says he has only a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer. the 75—year—old swede was the first foreign coach to manage england and led the side to three consecutive major tournament quarterfinals between 2002 and 2006. he's been talking about his diagnosis. those are some of our latest headline stories here in bbc news. the nhs has missed almost all of its key waiting list targets for at least seven years, according to analysis seen by the bbc. the targets are for waits across the uk in a&e, cancer care and for planned hospital care. all four uk nations say plans are in place to improve performance. our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, has this report. for years now, right across the uk, nhs performance has been deteriorating, failing to meet key targets aimed at
4:51 pm
saving lives, and instead putting patients at risk. one such target is for cancer treatment to begin. it's meant to be a maximum of 62 days, roughly two months. but ian binns waited four months. by the time he started chemotherapy, his stage one cancer had become stage four. he told me the wait for treatment was easily the worst time in his life. i would wake up every morning wondering if i had a future, wondering that every day the cancer would be advancing within me. strangely enough, when it got to about three and a half months, i became almost resolved in thinking, this is too late, nothing good is going to happen to you now, which was the case. the scan showed it had spread. bbc analysis has found the vast majority of key nhs targets have been missed for seven years or more. it looked at maximum waits for cancer treatment to begin — last hit in england in 2015 — for general hospital treatment, last hit in scotland in 2014,
4:52 pm
and the four—hour a&e wait, which has never been hit in northern ireland and wales. i'd describe these targets as totemic because they are a key barometer of how the nhs overall is performing. these were the markers that for the best part of 20 years have been used to measure, is the nhs doing well? we're talking about how long you wait to find out if you have cancer, how long you need to wait for life—changing operations. and the fact that they're being failed up and down the country for so long, really should be a wake up call. combined, the targets have been missed for more than 100 years across all four nations. governments in england, wales, scotland and northern ireland said they are investing in staff and equipment to reduce the waits. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. suggest covid cases might have

donnison explains. clicking the clicks and clacks of a sperm whale. and as you might expect from the creature with the biggest brain on the planet, their chit chat has more to it than meets the ear. this latest research, published in the royal society open science journal, found there are at least seven separate clans of sperm whales in the pacific ocean, each with its own distinct culture and vocal dialect. well, the sperm whale sounds very simple. their patterns of clicks are a bit like morse code. the two clans we discovered this on, one sounds, click, click, click, click. and the other sounds, click, click, click... ..click. the study also showed the whales use their distinct dialects to communicate and make democratic, consensual decisions
