10:30 pm
turbulence sent 3 singapore airlines flight plummeting 6,000 feet without warning. one man died and 30 others were injured. so, what went wrong?
10:31 pm
could climate change mean we'll see more of these events? we'll be joined be a scientist who has spent a decade researching just that, and also, the head of the airline pilots�* union balpa. this is paula vennells, who is at the heart of the post office scandal. she finally gives evidence tomorrow. we'll be asking lord lord arbuthnot — who played a pivotal role in the postmasters�* campaign — what he wants to hear from the woman who was in charge. also tonight... will tomorrow's inflation figures give the government a boost, or are cost—of—living concerns so endemic, will it even register? 0ur economic experts will give you the answer. and tomorrow, the mp craig mackinlay returns to westminster, after revealing the extent of what he describes as "extreme surgery" after sepsis. there was discussions happening
10:32 pm
about these arms, and legs. because by then, they had turned black. they were like a plastic. you could almost knock them. and it was like... it was like a... like your mobile phone plastic. tonight, 0livia giles — who also had her hands and feet removed because of sepsis — tells us how she's recovered. and dr ron daniels. the chief executive of the sepsis trust. he tells us what signs to look out for. good evening. singapore airlines flight 50321 — headed from london to singapore — did not go according to plan, when the plane was hit by severe turbulence over myanmar and dropped dramatically and unexpectedly. 0ne passenger died of a heart attack. geoffrey kitchen was 73. seven more passengers are critically injured, 23 more have suffered less severe injuries. severe turbulence can be forecast, but another form, clear air turbulence, is harder to detect, and so can be unpredictable.
10:33 pm
the bbc�*s south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, spent today at bangkok airport. jonathan, thank you very much for joining us tonight. tell me, what have passengers been saying to you about what happened to them? well. about what happened to them? well, the have about what happened to them? well, they have described _ about what happened to them? -m they have described what was a smooth and uneventful flight. they have described what was a smooth and uneventfulflight. it they have described what was a smooth and uneventful flight. it was towards the last stage of this flight, usually about 12 hours, i have done it many times myself on singapore airlines from london to singapore. those last two hours before they descend to singapore as they go over myanmar and thailand which is about the time they serve breakfast after a night's flight. a lot of people had got up to use the bathroom after waking up and it was then that some say the seat belt light went on and there was a little bit of turbulence and then suddenly, this incredible drop. and absolute chaos. people covered in other people's breakfast and coffee. a lot of the oxygen masks came down. all sorts of other debris was thrown
10:34 pm
around. people described seeing items just floating up around. people described seeing itemsjust floating up in around. people described seeing items just floating up in the air. and of course, people who were not secured by seat belts smashed up into the air as well. it didn't last very long despite that dramatic 6,000 foot drop, just a few seconds. and then after that, they say a very strange calm as people sort ofjust dealt with the shock of what had happened. it came completely out of the blue. 50 happened. it came completely out of the blue. ., , .,, i. happened. it came completely out of the blue. ., , ., the blue. so of the people you have soken to the blue. so of the people you have spoken to today. — the blue. so of the people you have spoken to today, you _ the blue. so of the people you have spoken to today, you have - the blue. so of the people you have spoken to today, you have spoken i the blue. so of the people you havel spoken to today, you have spoken to some of the injured and do you get a sense of the impact they were faced with? we know there were dense in overhead cabins. the impact must have been severe. == overhead cabins. the impact must have been severe.— have been severe. -- dents. for those who _ have been severe. -- dents. for those who are _ have been severe. -- dents. for those who are not _ have been severe. -- dents. for those who are not secured - have been severe. -- dents. for those who are not secured me i have been severe. -- dents. for. those who are not secured me yes. most of the injuries are relatively minor, but there are people the fractures, severe bruising, a lot of cuts. some of the cabin crew trying to help passengers had their own faces covered in blood because of cuts because they tend to be moving around the cabin at that time. we don't know the exact injuries of
10:35 pm
those having to remain in hospital, but there are a number of people who will remain there for some days while their injuries are treated here in thailand. find while their injuries are treated here in thailand.— while their injuries are treated here in thailand. and there was a sad death of— here in thailand. and there was a sad death of course, _ here in thailand. and there was a sad death of course, but - here in thailand. and there was a sad death of course, but the - sad death of course, but the passengers who are not severely injured, are they returning home going on, what has been happening? well, they have sent a plane here to bangkok airport to pick up those on injured passengers who remain on the flight side of the airport in the day —— those passengers who are not injured. they arrived in singapore injured. they arrived in singapore in the last few minutes. speaking to passengers today who are on much longer flights, passengers today who are on much longerflights, one family passengers today who are on much longer flights, one family going to australia for a wedding, they say they don't want to go on and they cannot face a succession of fights and just want to get back home again. i suspect the some of those who have been injured or who are deeply shaken by what happened, they might want to cut their flying short. it has been a really shocking end to a flight and i think it is an awful lot for people to process.
10:36 pm
these flights feel very safe. singapore airlines is a very reputable airline and normally, the flights are enjoyable and nothing usually goes wrong. something like this seems to be completely unpredictable.— this seems to be completely unpredictable. this seems to be completely unredictable. , ., . ., ., ~ , ., unpredictable. jonathan, thank you very much- — unpredictable. jonathan, thank you very much- we _ unpredictable. jonathan, thank you very much. we will _ unpredictable. jonathan, thank you very much. we will talk _ unpredictable. jonathan, thank you very much. we will talk now- unpredictable. jonathan, thank you very much. we will talk now that i very much. we will talk now that unpredictability. —— talk now about. joining me now in the studio, amy leversidge — general secretary at the british airline pilots' association, who represent 85% of britain's airline pilots, and paul williams, professor of atmospheric science at reading university. a scientist who has spent a long time looking at the questions about turbulence. first, amy. how much of an issue is this kind of turbulence for a pilot?— for a pilot? well, first, we would like to express _ for a pilot? well, first, we would like to express our _ for a pilot? well, first, we would like to express our sincere - like to express our sincere condolences for everyone who has been affected by the terrible tragedy today. and turbulence is quite common, probably most of us will have experienced turbulence. but that is very slight turbulence. this kind of severe turbulence as
10:37 pm
seen on this incident is very, very rare. pilots are highly trained. extensively trained. they do lots of simulated training to try and deal with these types of situations and they have got lots of on—board monitoring equipment to try and prevent this and avoid it. but toda , prevent this and avoid it. but today. that — prevent this and avoid it. but today, that didn't happen. last night, overnight, ishould today, that didn't happen. last night, overnight, i should say. today, that didn't happen. last night, overnight, ishould say. and i wonder if from your point of view as a scientist, something is going on here, what kind of turbulence is this? i on here, what kind of turbulence is this? ., , ., , , on here, what kind of turbulence is this? ., , , ., ., this? i would emphasise again the rari of this? i would emphasise again the rarity of this. _ this? i would emphasise again the rarity of this, fatalities _ this? i would emphasise again the rarity of this, fatalities from - rarity of this, fatalities from turbulence are really rare. the last one i_ turbulence are really rare. the last one i know — turbulence are really rare. the last one i know of before today happen in 2009 _ one i know of before today happen in 2009 and _ one i know of before today happen in 2009 and before that in 1987, so it is not _ 2009 and before that in 1987, so it is not even — 2009 and before that in 1987, so it is not even a one senior event. it is not even a one senior event. it is more _ is not even a one senior event. it is more like _ is not even a one senior event. it is more like once in a decade. that is more like once in a decade. that is because — is more like once in a decade. that is because there is not much severe turbulence — is because there is not much severe turbulence in the atmosphere. turbulence strong enough to lift you ”p turbulence strong enough to lift you up out _ turbulence strong enough to lift you up out of _ turbulence strong enough to lift you up out of your seat if you don't have _ up out of your seat if you don't have a — up out of your seat if you don't have a seat _ up out of your seat if you don't have a seat belt on is astonishingly rare, _ have a seat belt on is astonishingly rare. iess — have a seat belt on is astonishingly rare, less than one tenth of 1% of

10:40 pm
much turbulence there is, that is going to make a measurable difference. —— they work as a team. not only to training, but other aspects of flying. for example, now on a flight can make you a much less inclined after today actually to release your seat belt, for example. this is what the pilot always says when you get on the plane. make sure even when the seat belt light is turned off, keep your seat belt buckled and they always say that and try to limit how much time you spend walking around the cabin because of incidents like this. as much as they try, they have their monitoring and they are talking all the time, they are broadcasting to air traffic control and other planes in the area and they are constantly on the radios and constantly communicating, but they do say that things happen and they happen quite quickly and the best way to do that is to keep your seat belt on. but the best way to do that is to keep your seat belt on.— your seat belt on. but i think now because of— your seat belt on. but i think now because of this, _ your seat belt on. but i think now because of this, there _ your seat belt on. but i think now because of this, there is - your seat belt on. but i think now because of this, there is going i your seat belt on. but i think now because of this, there is going to | because of this, there is going to because of this, there is going to be more conversation now about what

10:44 pm
well, after two and a half years of investigations, it is now clear that the horizon system is robust and works as it should. thank you. 0ur political editor nick watt is here. and, nick, more evidence has come to light. i want to come to that in a minute. but how critical a day is this for tomorrow?— but how critical a day is this for tomorrow? , ., , , ., ., , tomorrow? obviously, paula vennells will start giving _ tomorrow? obviously, paula vennells will start giving evidence _ tomorrow? obviously, paula vennells will start giving evidence to _ tomorrow? obviously, paula vennells will start giving evidence to that i will start giving evidence to that post office and a tomorrow and on the eve of that, we have what one former cabinet minister has described as a smoking gun. that is an e—mail that shows over a decade ago, paula vennells knew that there was something wrong with the horizon computer system. and of course, it was glitches in that system that
10:45 pm
falsely gave the impression that subpostmasters and sub—postmistresses were pocketing thousands of pounds and many were of course wrongly convicted. so itv news today revealed that ron warmington, one of the second sight investigators, called in by the postmasters to investigate this, made contact with paula vennells in october 2013. made contact with paula vennells in 0ctober2013. he made contact with paula vennells in october 2013. he had a phone call with her and he sent her an e—mail with her and he sent her an e—mail with eight examples of postmasters who sent in mediation applications with evidence they had faced false allegations. this is what he wrote. as promised in today's phone call, eight examples of the incoming applications. i have selected those that are more clearly expressed than most of the others that we have been receiving. so it paula vennells looks at the e—mail. she looks at the eight cases and then later that day at 850, this is an e—mail she sent on the inquiry website to three of her colleagues. —— 8:50am. dear
10:46 pm
all, i'm not sure who else i want to read these yet, but certainly the three of you. she said we have to keep it in perspective but even so they are challenging from all kinds of angles. and then she says we need to show we are taking this very seriously. that e—mail is on the inquiry website. a slightly different version was revealed today by itv news and it also released a recording of the conversation that she had with ron warmington. after all that this is what nadhim zahawi the former chancellor told itv news. i think the e—mail and the tape will come to be seen as the smoking gun
10:47 pm
thatis come to be seen as the smoking gun that is the cover—up that has taken place at the post office. the reason why he feels so strongly about this as he was a member of the business select committee that heard from paula vennells in 2015 when she said that the post office had found no evidence of any miscarriages of justice. nadhim zahawi played himself in the itv drama and one of the main sub—postmaster is in that drama was lee castleton and he was one of the eight people whose cases were brought to the attention of paula vennells in october 2013. thank you very much. i'm joined now by conservative peer lord arbuthnot who first learned of issues with the horizon system from postmasters in his constituency, including jo hamilton. he's a veteran campaigner on the issue, and is a member of the horizon compensation advisory board. thank you forjoining us. what do you make of this clear 2013 october
10:48 pm
e—mail correspondence and then four were said by paula vennells in 2015? it is very striking e—mail. i cannot reconcile her response to that e—mail and her receiving that e—mail with what she said in front of the select committee. i think that is something she will have great difficulty in dealing with. she has three days of evidence coming up and we will see how she does it. i do not understand how she can reconcile them. ~ ., ., ,, not understand how she can reconcile them. ~ ., ., i. ., not understand how she can reconcile them. ~ ., ., ., ., ., ., them. what do you want to hear from paula vennells _ them. what do you want to hear from paula vennells in _ them. what do you want to hear from paula vennells in the _ them. what do you want to hear from paula vennells in the next _ them. what do you want to hear from paula vennells in the next three i paula vennells in the next three days? paula vennells in the next three da s? ., ., , ., ., days? there are lots of individual questions. _ days? there are lots of individual questions, things _ days? there are lots of individual questions, things like _ days? there are lots of individual questions, things like when i days? there are lots of individual questions, things like when did l days? there are lots of individual. questions, things like when did she first know that there was remote access to the sub—postmaster is accounts. so the sub—postmistress did not know what was going on in their own computer systems. so they

could hardly be blamed for false their own computer systems. so they could hardly be blamed forfalse in those accounts. when did she receive the legal opinion or advice which said fujitsu evidence was completely unreliable? find said fujitsu evidence was completely unreliable? �* ., said fujitsu evidence was completely unreliable? . ., , , said fujitsu evidence was completely unreliable? ., , , ., unreliable? and of course they ran the it unreliable? and of course they ran the w system- _ unreliable? and of course they ran the it system. they _ unreliable? and of course they ran the it system. they did. _ unreliable? and of course they ran the it system. they did. why i unreliable? and of course they ran the it system. they did. why did l unreliable? and of course they ran i the it system. they did. why did she send the it system. they did. why did she spend more — the it system. they did. why did she spend more than _ the it system. they did. why did she spend more than £100 _ the it system. they did. why did she spend more than £100 million - the it system. they did. why did she spend more than £100 million on i spend more than £100 million on defending the indefensible in the alan bates litigation and what did she tell the government about all this and what instructions did she receive from the government. those of the kind of individual questions that will come up. but possibly the thing that the sub—postmasters most want to hear having heard so many people saying i do not recall, i do not remember, it was someone else, will she take responsibility for the

system had been upheld in every court case where it had been questioned. she said that there were noissues questioned. she said that there were no issues with the horizon system despite the many bugs of which she was aware. and she told me there was no possibility of altering the sub—postmasters accounts without their knowledge. all of those things were untrue and she knew that they were untrue and she knew that they were untrue. i said in a debate in the house of commons that we had had the house of commons that we had had the word of the post office broken two are so many times that it was bewildering. i two are so many times that it was bewildering-— bewildering. i want to finish by askin: bewildering. i want to finish by asking you _ bewildering. i want to finish by asking you that _ bewildering. i want to finish by asking you that yesterday i bewildering. i want to finish byj asking you that yesterday rishi

detect a spring in rishi sunak�*s step. but, the imf has also warned the uk of a £30 billion pound fiscal hole — and that could put the brakes on the chancellor's room for a pre— election tax cutting manoeuvre, or indeed spending increases. nick's still here. what is the significance of this given there is still the issue of cost of living?— given there is still the issue of cost of living? very big for rishi sunak and _ cost of living? very big for rishi sunak and the _ cost of living? very big for rishi sunak and the governor - cost of living? very big for rishi sunak and the governor of i cost of living? very big for rishi sunak and the governor of the l cost of living? very big for rishi i sunak and the governor of the bank of england said today he expects quite a drop in inflation. voters did a survey of economists and expect the cpi rate of inflation to be 2.1% in april, down from 3.2% in march. no significant factors, firstly that is in the vicinity of the target and that is what inflation is meant to be, around 2%. the second significance is remember the big speech that rishi sunak gave in january last year setting out his five pledges and one was to have inflation. it looks like he has now
10:54 pm
got down to target so big thing for the prime minister. and there are massive rumours in the conservative party and i stress rumours, what this means is the stars are aligning for rishi sunak and big speculation amongst conservative mps that tomorrow the prime minister will announce the date of the election. i've lost count of the number of conservative mps in the past 72 hours who have come to me. one says from his inner circle that they are all talking about it and i think it will be a slow burn election. but the prime minister will say i will go to the country in the autumn and put pressure on the labour party. a few other mps said to me we think he will announce it for the ltth of july, another veteran conservative mp said that it is ridiculous, why on earth with the promise to do it now? great that inflation is coming down but then we need the monetary policy committee to reduce interest
10:55 pm
rates and maybe get a few productions by the autumn and people feel that with mortgage rates possibly coming down and that is when we call the election. nothing confirmed, but big rumours. i'm joined now by dr danny sriskandarajah — chief executive of left—leaning think tank the new economics foundation, and anna valero, a distinguished policy fellow at lse who served on chancellorjeremy hunt's economic advisory council. hello to both of you. and valero, is this a sign that the country is really over both external shocks and self—inflicted shocks? goad really over both external shocks and self-inflicted shocks? good evening. of course this _ self-inflicted shocks? good evening. of course this is _ self-inflicted shocks? good evening. of course this is great _ self-inflicted shocks? good evening. of course this is great news - self-inflicted shocks? good evening. of course this is great news if- self-inflicted shocks? good evening. of course this is great news if it i of course this is great news if it transpires that inflation is going to get to target tomorrow as expected. we had a massive shock to food prices and this has affected living standards. of course important to recognise that prices

do remain high and given that since the period that we entered into the cost of living crisis real wages are still lower than that point versus earlyjuly or early 2021. so the context is of course that this is welcome news but there still work to be done that needs to be done to sustainably grow living standards through sustainably growing real wages and that rest on productivity. so that is in the ointment, low productivity and low growth and we still have for many people are cost of living crisis.— of living crisis. absolutely, the headhne of living crisis. absolutely, the headline numbers _ of living crisis. absolutely, the headline numbers around i of living crisis. absolutely, the i headline numbers around inflation are looking positive but what is worrying — are looking positive but what is worrying is that the cost of living is not _ worrying is that the cost of living is not getting better. but worrying is that the cost of living is not getting better.— worrying is that the cost of living is not getting better. but the price of food we understand _ is not getting better. but the price of food we understand has - is not getting better. but the price of food we understand has fallen l of food we understand has fallen today, a report suggests the basics are fallen. the today, a report suggests the basics are fallen. , . ., ., are fallen. the price of food and ener: are fallen. the price of food and energy are _ are fallen. the price of food and energy are still _ are fallen. the price of food and energy are still 3096 _ are fallen. the price of food and energy are still 3096 higher i are fallen. the price of food and energy are still 3096 higher than energy are still 30% higher than in

11:01 pm
more than a decade. and how do we mmp more than a decade. and how do we ramp up the closing of that gap? there is no shortage of good ideas. my colleagues at the new economics foundation have the national skiliihg — foundation have the national skilling wage which will create a new set — skilling wage which will create a new set of thin —— a set of incentives _ new set of thin —— a set of incentives for businesses to invest incentives for businesses to invest in skills. _ incentives for businesses to invest in skills, particularly for the green — in skills, particularly for the green transition. we have had chronic— green transition. we have had chronic underinvestment by businesses and the state in exactly those _ businesses and the state in exactly those sort — businesses and the state in exactly those sort of long—term things that we need _ those sort of long—term things that we need to— those sort of long—term things that we need to grow our economy fairly unsustainably, notjust focus we need to grow our economy fairly unsustainably, not just focus on these _ unsustainably, not just focus on these headline targets. unsustainably, notjust focus on these headline targets.- unsustainably, notjust focus on these headline targets. when do you think people — these headline targets. when do you think people are _ these headline targets. when do you think people are going _ these headline targets. when do you think people are going to _ these headline targets. when do you think people are going to start - think people are going to start feeling better off? i think people are going to start feeling better off?— feeling better off? i think obviously _ feeling better off? i think obviously if _ feeling better off? i think obviously if we _ feeling better off? i think obviously if we maintain l feeling better off? i think- obviously if we maintain inflation back to normal levels and start seeing some underlying productivity and growth so we can see sustainable growth in real wages, in order to do that, i think we will need a bit more of a growth plan and it is going to need to stick and it is going to need to stick and it is going to need to stick and it is going to need to attack some of those long—standing barriers preventing businesses from investing. and fundamental to that

11:03 pm
there was discussions happening about these arms, and legs. because by then, they had turned black. they were like a plastic. you could almost knock them. and it was like... it was like a... like your mobile phone plastic. they looked like a pharaoh's hand that had just been dug up, or peat bog man. they were black, desiccating, clenched, and just looked dead. i mean, they looked dead. i wasn't really surprised at the potential outcome. these things are dead. your legs and arms are dead. i am nowjoined by sepsis survivor olivia giles who, 22 years ago, was rushed into hospital with sepsis. olivia had her hands and feet amputated to save her life. and her surgeon managed to save a joint in one arm and a joint in one leg at her knee. and we will also be speaking to dr ron daniels, director of uk sepsis trust.
