all, but mostjewish people would care deeply about. we have seen what that would kind of look like, we saw it on the 7th of october where almost 1300 people were murdered, raped, kidnapped, in the biggest mass slaughter ofjewish people mass slaughter of jewish people since mass slaughter ofjewish people since the holocaust. and yet these demonstrations did not pause. they were straight out of the starting gates, as if it was the same as any other previous conflict. they were out of the starting gates before israel had even properly responded in any way whatsoever. they don't care what happened on that day and they don't care howjewish people feel about it, that's the fundamental truth. the demonstrations are organised by revolutionary far left organisations, and their islamist partners in the uk that used to call for suicide bombings in these demonstrations, that used to openly support hezbollah and hamas, the law

clamped down on that so they don't do it any more, but they go up to the limit of that law. the do it any more, but they go up to the limit of that law.— do it any more, but they go up to the limit of that law. the stop the war coalition _ the limit of that law. the stop the war coalition group, _ the limit of that law. the stop the war coalition group, who - the limit of that law. the stop the i war coalition group, who organise some of the marches say there is no need forjewish people to be scared. a lot of the people on the marches are peaceful and don't call for anything like you have suggested. do you think the police should be taking tougher action when these protests happen in london? 1 taking tougher action when these protests happen in london? i didn't su: est protests happen in london? i didn't suggest that _ protests happen in london? i didn't suggest that the — protests happen in london? i didn't suggest that the people _ protests happen in london? i didn't suggest that the people on - protests happen in london? i didn't suggest that the people on the - suggest that the people on the demonstrators don't make demonstrations. i would say the organisers. we need to distinguish between the people who make these demonstrations happen, and many people who would go on them for right, legitimate and humanitarian reasons. when people call for a ceasefire on these demonstrations they are simultaneously calling for a global intifada, mark you, a global pricing, and they are also

supporting houthi on shipping. if you want to support that then go on these demonstrations. that's why this conversation is really important, and it's important we get into the detail of what at the moment the law in terms of extremism, that is harmful and hurtful, which does not trip into criminality, and that is the issue at play, and it's a very dangerous thing. to at play, and it's a very dangerous thin. ., ., at play, and it's a very dangerous thin._ ., ., . ~' at play, and it's a very dangerous thin. ., ., ., , , ., at play, and it's a very dangerous thinu. ., ., ., , , ., ., thing. to go back to my question, do ou think thing. to go back to my question, do you think the — thing. to go back to my question, do you think the police _ thing. to go back to my question, do you think the police should _ thing. to go back to my question, do you think the police should be - you think the police should be tougher in the way they police these demonstrations? i tougher in the way they police these demonstrations?— demonstrations? i think the police initiall not demonstrations? i think the police initially got things _ demonstrations? i think the police initially got things wrong - demonstrations? i think the police initially got things wrong in - demonstrations? i think the police initially got things wrong in the - initially got things wrong in the first few weeks but they have tried very hard to make things better and they have got an awful lot better but nevertheless the police and politicians and prosecutors as well need to get agreed upon what is permissible and what isn't and explain why. permissible and what isn't and exulain why-—

further education, from the early years and from social care. i have colleagues inspecting the training of military recruits who have served time in the armed forces themselves. i have others inspecting prison education, who have worked, i did say worked, in prisons. that experience and insight is so important. it's what gives us credibility, credibility with you, credibility, credibility with you, credibility when we talk to those in power, and it's what gives us the right to inform parents about the services their children are getting. because that's the other side of the coin. we are of the system, but we exist, as you all exist, for children, for learners, and of course for parents and carers. and

it is, or it really should be, a joint enterprise. we talk about raising standards and improving lives, but in truth our role is to help you to do that. ofsted does not educate children, you do. you are the ones out there every day educating, inspiring and shaping the lives of children and learners. i promise i will never forget that. i have travelled around 425 years or so now, many schools were in very difficult situations that needed a tremendous amount of help. these schools were often described as being in challenging circumstances. but not unlikejohn was saying, that begs the phrase or the question, what circumstances are other schools facing? i don't think anyone working in our sector would say their circumstances are not challenging.

after all, we are struggling in various degrees with the legacies of covid, with, asjohn talked about, the cost of living difficulties, with the intertwined problems of attendance and behaviour, with increasing demand for mental health and special educational needs and disability services. and with that stubborn and stark gap in the performance of disadvantaged and non—disadvantaged children. and of course, looking at other areas we inspect and regulate, we see rising demand for child care, for alternative provision, for support services and for safe and nurturing children's homes. it is hard then to see what you might call that other than challenging. but whilst there are real challenges, there are also

reasons to be optimistic. as it is a great and noble profession full of people like you who care deeply about children, passionate, passionate professionals who want the best and can see the impact on individuals when we as a system cannot deliver this for whatever reason. this makes it difficult, i understand that. but i also understand that. but i also understand that. but i also understand that the best of you take on your leadership roles not because it is easy but because it is hard. you want to make a difference, especially to those who are the most disadvantaged and vulnerable, and so do i. so, iwant disadvantaged and vulnerable, and so do i. so, i want to reassure you that i get it, and that ofsted gets it. it's that challenge that brought me to this job. i did it. it's that challenge that brought me to thisjob. i did not it. it's that challenge that brought me to this job. i did not apply to maintain business as usual. i want

to meet these challenging times head—on and i want to improve and change the way ofsted goes about its work. my ambition is for ofsted to be a modern, world—class inspectorate and regulator fit for purpose, also trusted by parents, by children and by you, the sectors we work with. i will need your help, however, to do this. i want us to be the best because children deserve the best because children deserve the best. and because we share the highest expectations for children, especially the most disadvantaged and vulnerable.— and vulnerable. studio: that is martin oliver, _ and vulnerable. studio: that is martin oliver, the _ and vulnerable. studio: that is martin oliver, the new - and vulnerable. studio: that is martin oliver, the new chief - martin oliver, the new chief inspector of ofsted addressing teachers in liverpool. he told them that the role of ofsted was to help educate children, but he said i want to reassure you, that i get it, ofsted gets it. a little later the

education secretary gillian keegan will address those teachers and we will address those teachers and we will bring you more on that as she makes her speech. a global study looking into the impact language can have on the confidence of young girls has found that girls as young as five feel intense pressure to be "perfect", with more than three quarters of 5—12—year—olds saying language used by adults is the cause. the research was conducted by lego group along with lexicographer and etymologist susie dent. let's go live now to susie dent, for more on this. i'm really fascinated by this. explain how big an impact words adults use have on young girls. i found this fascinating because i have spent so many years reading the dictionary and looking out the words that are used about women, or that are used exclusively of women. this research by the lego group looks at

words that are used directly to women and young girls. i suspected there was a bias there but i didn't quite know how profound it was. essentially i discovered that we do instinctively use quite limiting language when it comes to girls, particularly, that introduces the possibility of getting it wrong. and although i think it's very often entirely well—intentioned, we put more pressure upon them to be, as you say, to be perfect and achieve perfection and the results sometimes can be that if they feel they can't get there then they don't try because they feel not trying is better than failing at something. and just lots of different findings such as the adjectives we use towards girls' creative output as opposed to boys'. we offer an instinct of the use words like pretty, cute, stunning, notjust of girls themselves but of their work.

whereas cool, innovative and genius are twice as likely to be used towards boys.— are twice as likely to be used towards bo s. ., , ., , towards boys. two thirds of society takes male — towards boys. two thirds of society takes male creatives _ towards boys. two thirds of society takes male creatives more - towards boys. two thirds of society | takes male creatives more seriously than females according to the report, a staggering figure. it is report, a staggering figure. it is and obviously _ report, a staggering figure. it 3 and obviously quite worrying. certainly link mystically i know sometimes we feel language is becoming a minefield and we have to tread incredibly carefully so as not to put a foot wrong, but i think just tiny tweaks when we are talking to girls, and particularly young ones, because this does set in deeply quite early on. just be conscious of the words we are using, not using limiting language. it is quite extraordinary when you look at the reactions of girls when given two different tasks. one is, for example, i want you to build something creative, but it has to be perfect and meticulous. as opposed to, just go away and build something you like, there is no right or

wrong. and the absolute passion and creativity you see in the second group is so much more powerful than the first group. that's from two very short sentences in terms of setting a task. very short sentences in terms of setting a task-— very short sentences in terms of setting a task. what you think the answer is? _ setting a task. what you think the answer is? is— setting a task. what you think the answer is? is it _ setting a task. what you think the answer is? is it schools _ setting a task. what you think the answer is? is it schools and - setting a task. what you think the answer is? is it schools and the i setting a task. what you think the l answer is? is it schools and the way that education happens, or do we as adultsjust have to that education happens, or do we as adults just have to take a moment to think when we are talking particularly to young girls? i think when we are talking particularly to young girls? i think both, actually. — particularly to young girls? i think both, actually. i— particularly to young girls? i think both, actually. iwent_ particularly to young girls? i think both, actually. i went to - particularly to young girls? i think both, actually. i went to quite - particularly to young girls? i think both, actually. i went to quite a i both, actually. i went to quite a few schools yesterday on world book day. really small children were so passionate about words. i was asking for their favourite ones and asking them to make words up. right across them to make words up. right across the board, the enthusiasm and creativity was fizzing and it was so exciting. i think we need to tap into that. by avoiding limiting language, by choosing our adjectives carefully. a lot of girls in the survey were saying they don't want their work to be cute, they wanted

to be creative and innovative etc. don't be scared but think before you speak. also talk openly to girls and say, how would you like me to describe that, have that open dialogue, that can really work and bring results in.— bring results in. susie dent, very much food _ bring results in. susie dent, very much food for _ bring results in. susie dent, very much food for thought _ bring results in. susie dent, very much food for thought in - bring results in. susie dent, very much food for thought in that. much food for thought in that discussion, thank you forjoining us on bbc news. discussion, thank you for “oining us on sac newt the british ministry of defence has no credible plan to fund the armed forces the government wants, which could leave the uk increasingly reliant on its allies. that's according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee report that the gap between the ministry of defence's budget and the uk's intended military capabilities has ballooned to £16.9 billion,

their largest ever deficit. simon jones has more. raf fighterjets called into action last month to strike houthi targets in yemen. but this all comes at considerable cost. the public accounts committee, which examines the value for money of government projects, says it is alarming that in an increasingly volatile world, the military is facing a record shortfall between what is expected of it, and what the ministry of defence can afford. we can go straight to the old bailey where chris kaba is' family are talking to stop the 24—year—old shot in london in september 2012. the officer charged with his murder is now being named and they have just been talking outside the old bailey. it was a brief statement and we will bring you more on that. chris kaba died from a single gunshot after the car he was driving was hemmed in by a police vehicle and an officer opened fire. the construction worker was being followed by an unmarked

police car with no lights or sirens. up police car with no lights or sirens. up until this point an unnamed met police fire officer was charged with his murder. that anonymity order has now been lifted and so he has now been named. it is international women's day today and we can take you to some live pictures. this is rome, italy. these have been taking place across the world. we saw some earlier from place across the world. we saw some earlierfrom islamabad and now place across the world. we saw some earlier from islamabad and now we are in the centre of rome where women have come out to join this march on international women's day. this all dates back to 1911, which is when the first international women's day was celebrated in austria, denmark, germany and switzerland. the united nations began to mark the event in 1975. it's actually a national holiday in many countries. in italy it is

called the festival of women. mimosa blossoms are often atypical gift. flower sales in russia often double around international women's day. the theme in 2024 is investing women, accelerate progress, highlighting the importance of gender equality measures. those pictures from rome, we'll see a lot of these from around the world as many countries mark international women's day, that's the scene in italy. a bbc investigation has found more coroners in england and wales wrote more letters... a bbc investigation has found more coroners in england and wales last year wrote official letters warning that a lack of resources

in the nhs is putting lives at risk. 109 warning letters, called prevention of future death reports, highlighted the failures of nhs care given to people before they died. it's the highest number of letters written in the last six years. they included concerns over long delays, staff shortages and a lack of beds. our health reporter jim reed has the details. the only way to describe it — i've worked in elderly care since i was 16. i know what a heart attack looks like. shaun just kept saying, "it's getting worse, it's getting worse, it's getting worse." just over a year ago, karen's husband was taken to hospital with chest pains. shaun was waiting in doncaster a&e for over an hour before he was told he was having a heart attack. then there was another three—hour wait until an ambulance could transfer him to sheffield. my exact words were, to the coroner, "i could have got him there faster in the car." and she said, "well, no, because he needed an ambulance." well, if he needed the ambulance, why wasn't the ambulance there? i got him to the hospital in time. voice breaks: i got him

to the hospital in time. l i know they're busy, but it still states, a category two — between 18 and 40 minutes, not three hours. i should have been informed... shaun died later that day. after his inquest, the coroner wrote this report warning about the significant delay to his treatment. we're classed as one of the best countries in the world, supposedly. but we can't keep us ambulance service and us hospitals running to the standards they're supposed to be. it's not right. nhs west yorkshire icb, which commissions ambulance services, said it has been investing in more vehicles and staff, though accepts there are ongoing challenges with response times. we've been looking through thousands of prevention—of—death reports, like the one written in shaun's case. these are effectively warning letters sent by a coroner to the government or the health authorities after an inquest, to try to prevent a similar death in the future. we identified more than 100 — that's two a week —

sent last year which referred to a long wait for nhs treatment, a shortage of staff, or a lack of nhs resources. that's double the number compared to the two years before the pandemic. it includes the case of ten—year—old william gray. in october 2020, and again seven months later, he had two life—threatening asthma attacks. his mother says the family struggled to get the right support. no, really, follow—up check—ups, really. in october i had to make the calls, er... but, yeah, to leave a parent, you know... ..just with no help or...support is just... it's very hard, having to do that all by yourself, and panicking and thinking, is this going to happen again, you know? william died in hospital after that second attack. in her report, the coroner warned about under—resourcing

of the local nhs asthma service, saying at one point a single nurse was responsible for 2,000 children — a level described as ludicrous. it's shocking to know that that is how many asthma nurses are to how many children. i don't think william's going to be the last child. i don't think no mother should be left feeling that way. you know, when you've watched your child stop breathing and having to give them, you know, cpr at home, it'sjust not good enough. after william's death, essex partnership university trust said it has recruited three more asthma nurses through a pilot scheme — though that's fewer than the eight it asked for. these documents paint a picture not just of lives lost, but of chances missed, as the health service has come under growing pressure. the government says it learns from every one of these reports and it is investing billions to train more staff

and cut waiting times. jim reed, bbc news. we can go live to dublin, where the country is voting in a referendum. the taoiseach, casting his vote there. these are changes that will include a modern and more inclusive society. one amendment would redefine the concept of the family with the current constitution recognising it solely based on marriage. it would expand that to include those based on what they are calling durable relationships. a second proposal would replace references to the importance of the women's role in the home and linked duties. all major parties are supporting the changes. leo varadkar casting his vote, he argues there

are chances to delete old—fashioned sexist language from the constitution, but it has to be said the proposals have faced some criticism, including from the roman catholic church. there you can see leo varadkar, the irish prime minister, with two thumbs up, voting in those referendums, suggesting constitutional changes. new rules on paternity leave come into effect today in england, scotland and wales. fathers will be allowed to take their statutory two weeks' leave in two separate chunks — instead of in one go — there will also be a small increase in statutory pay. parental rights campaigners say the changes don't go far enough and the uk is lagging behind other developed nations. our reporter christian johnson behind other developed nations. our reporter christianjohnson has been looking into it.

and just kind of bond together. i feel like it's given me _ the opportunity to be a better dad. peek—a—boo! it's notjust dads who feel the benefit. peek—a—boo! like, thinking back to those first six weeks, i was not ready to do it on my own after two weeks — i needed the extra support, and i would say, having spoken to many a mum in the last nine months, that they would say the same thing — that they need that extra help beyond the two weeks. so if stat paternity leave can be increased to to six weeks and at a good, like, healthy pay rate — like, women willjust feel so much more supported in those early days. but what about the impact on businesses? work pyro, put lighting rigs and video screens up. jim farmery runs production park — think big stages and high tech for some of the world's most iconic artists. while he thinks big companies might be able to cope with dads taking six weeks off, he believes firms like his would struggle.

it would be a shock and it would be difficult to manage. we're very, very used to flexing up and flexing down in certain roles, but if you looked at, like, the finance team or the ops team, there's nowhere near the same kind of freelance culture in those kind of environments. the government says today's changes provide greater flexibility forfamilies, and that dads can use shared parental leave to take even longer off work. but campaign groups say funding six weeks' leave for new dads would be a drop in the ocean. what would it have done for your relationship with isla? everything. it'd be... little bit sad, i'll be honest, i'm getting. it'd mean everything for new dads. we can take you back to the news we were talking about earlier, that a metropolitan police firearms officer has been named for the first time as martyn blake and he has pleaded not

guilty to murdering 24—year—old chris kaba during a police operation in 2022. chris kaba was shot in streatham in south london after the car he was driving was stopped by police. martyn blake, who is 40, had been known by a code name after threats were made against him, but a judge has now decided he could be named. afterwards the family of chris kaba gave this reaction outside the old bailey. police cannot and — outside the old bailey. police cannot and should _ outside the old bailey. police cannot and should not - outside the old bailey. police cannot and should not be - outside the old bailey. police l cannot and should not be above outside the old bailey. police - cannot and should not be above the law. accountability for police officers and forces involved in death, even where evidence of criminality and wrongdoing is identified, is extremely rare. in any of the murder trial the accused be publicly named. this case should be publicly named. this case should be no different. we welcome today's decision to name the officer. the inquest and family are not able to comment any further at this stage. thank you. comment any further at this stage.
