hello and welcome to the programme. over the next half an hour we'll bring you some of the exclusive interviews and original stories that we have brought to you over the last year. adam deacon ended up being sectioned after threatening people including his former mentor. he was later diagnosed with having bipolar disorder. he went to meet stephen fry to discuss the impact the condition has had on their lives, jobs and friends. he was one of the main people yewtree being. you had

quite a public... yes. i almost certain that i would have been diagnosed as attention deficit disorder as a child. look at my school reports, disruptive, brilliant, annoying, never stopping to speak. i went to prison for complicated reasons. and then i thought everything was fine for top and that is really when it all started to go wrong. i realised that i was somehow prey to these terrible moods so when it came... i was in a play and i booked out and everything collapsed, my confidence, the general feeling that my life was

over. i got the proper diagnosis then and that's when i thought everything was ok because i had faced the beast. i tried to kill myself. i was lying in a hospital bed after the worst attack. thinking a lunatic, looking back at the work i have done, maybe it stems from the bipolar. a director, acted in it, but when i look back on outsiders, eve ryo ne but when i look back on outsiders, everyone seemed but when i look back on outsiders, everyone seemed to say the same thing that i was quite manic. they thought it was red bull at the time andi thought it was red bull at the time and i was drinking it down. 0ne thought it was red bull at the time and i was drinking it down. one of the things i learnt from my experience and it still shocks me that people that love me best read my mood more than i can. my husband knows when i manic. he is in my

voice, sees it in my eyes. i once had it so badly that honestly and i am not superstitious, add i even a grain of religious in me, i thought that god was talking to me. i felt likejoan that god was talking to me. i felt like joan of arc. that god was talking to me. i felt likejoan of arc. it was frightening. you are dealing with your demons, and going through hell, all over the place and then bang, it is everywhere. how did you cope with that? i have always lived my life in a public way. in the 80s, when it was quite unusual, i came out as being gay. there were not many in show business who were out at all. similarly, it is easy to talk about your emotions in our business because they are at the kind of ingredients for the films all the

books that we cook up. having this kind of breakdown, i ended up making it even more public records of twitter. i was writing all this crazy stuff on twitter without even realising it. sometimes i wish someone realising it. sometimes i wish someone took my own way and just made me... ifill the better for it. next, an unprecedented admission by the woman head of the british army. in an exclusive interview, general sir richard bennett told us how he refused to take a controversial anti— malaria drug because of concern over its catastrophic side—effect even though he knew the drug was being given to his troops. the general tells us his son suffered mental issues after an army dog gave him lariam. he took his first couple of doses and became

very unwell, very quickly. he became extremely depressed. not the person he would normally be. normally a very bubbly personal individual. we got very worried about him. have you ever taken lariam? no. because... because betty had that effect, i not going to take lariam. i took something else on my occasion and they muscled very ill. but it did not have. you would have taken it at the same time when people serving under you were taking it? that is true. but again, i think it was because the organisation had not

reached a certain view on whether lariam was beneficial. but if it was not good enough for you, should have been good enough for anyone serving under you? because i had first-hand experience in what could happen i did not see the point of putting muscle in that position... but other people were being put in that position? well, this is true. but again, we come back to the fact that defence, as an organisation, we were still try to come to a conclusion we re still try to come to a conclusion were that the beneficial and harm we re were that the beneficial and harm were greater or less. the effects we re were greater or less. the effects were almost immediate. it was as if the worry in your brain had completely gone. —— the wider ring. completely rewired. i got depressed to the point of having suicidal

thoughts. since 1997, it was made absolutely clear that while everyone given lariam should be told about, a series of side—effects and said the drugs must be stopped immediately if any are experience. we spoke to many members that were not made aware. away you go. that is what we were told. were you told about the side—effects? not at all. in a statement the ministry of defence said... in many respects, i am a broken man. the army has broken me. the government has broken me. why do the british government continued to give this drug to service members? ran a

holden was 18 when her boyfriend beta unconscious and left for dead ata pub. beta unconscious and left for dead at a pub. the attack was caught on cctv. she told us her story and encouraged others to speak out and get help. he always used to put me down. if things did not go his way, if you wanted to do something and i didn't, that is when the abuse would happen. also, when he had no money. when he did not have money for alcohols, his drugs, i took all the backlash. can i ask you, what kind of things he used to do to you? he used to pick me up, throw me, partly in the face, slapped me. he would call me nasty names... he was

just... he wasjust call me nasty names... he was just... he was just a horrible call me nasty names... he was just... he wasjust a horrible man. i think as well, as well as that horrific physical abuse, on the controlling side of things he would controlling side of things he would control access to your telephone, the eu were allowed to see? who i was allowed to speak to, see, you had on my face. i was on the phone to my grandfather and he snatched the phone and the took the battery soi the phone and the took the battery so i could not have any contact with him. why was he doing this to you? i do not know the reason why he was doing it to me. i think... i do know, i think it is more to do with having control over a person. he used to like controlling the and telling me what to do. can i ask you about the attack that he committed new in that pub car park in november

2013. i was then to be going to meet him. i put down to the pub in the village and i walked into the pub and gary was with his mate and two women he was playing pool with. he was smacking their passes and i will doubt there pub. i was up into his friend and about ten minutes, he came outside and he was telling me you are not my girlfriend any more, how can you getjealous. telling me that i worthless, he didn't care about me so we ended up in a massive argument and that argument resulted in the him chasing me out of the car park. he had a pint glass in his hand and he tried to smash it on my

head. it hit me six times before it shattered. he grabbed me by my hair when the glass shattered. he then had me behind the car and hejust kept punching me, kicking me, punching me and when i was unconscious, he hit me up by my hair and dragged me across the car park where he dropped me again and stood all over my body. i can tell you that she has now found happiness with someone else and she is going to spend christmas with her baby son who was born last month. in september i'd i sat down to a woman who in hollywood would be considered a freak. can i ask you about victoria would? a freak. can i ask you about victoria would ? for a freak. can i ask you about victoria would? for most of us it was a huge shock and people felt

really close to her even though they did not know her. you were close to her which must have made it very difficult? it was and the fact that it is kind of in the public domain makes it really strange. i could not respond to a very much at the beginning even though we all knew that it was robert lee close. still a huge shock. death is anyway but it was still a huge shock and i found i could not respond. time. ifelt hugely anxious, massive anxiety about it. and then... when i was able to relax and see my husband, then he just able to relax and see my husband, then hejust went... yes, huge loss. still thought about it today, i can't think why i brought it up. we we re can't think why i brought it up. we were ina can't think why i brought it up. we were in a taxi coming here. christie, was very close to her, why

would i think about in the taxi? but i think everyone goes through that thing with grief, and king, they are not here! she was 62. it is nothing. not these days. she looked... you know, before she got eal she looked fantastic. really, really well. not a mark on her skin. so, fantastic. really, really well. not a mark on herskin. so, yes... fantastic. really, really well. not a mark on her skin. so, yes... you may not want to answer this and that's fine but could she rationalised the diagnosis? yes stop i don't want to say anything else, really. that's fine. her legacy is her work. people are going to enjoy her work. people are going to enjoy her work, your work together for ever more. 0h, her work, your work together for ever more. oh, i hope so. that would be brilliant. her brother wants a

statue to be erected in a very where she went to school, a statue of her sitting at the piano which... what do you think of that idea? it sounds gorgeous stop as long as it's flattering. it does not seem enough, a statue but... you know... her work is the thing, it is her work that really, as if you say, is the legacy and stimulates the memory of everybody. before you met victoria which was the mid— 70s,... 19 78th. you were part of a generation of working class act as who graduated from the everyman in liverpool,... bill nighy. eddie redmayne, emily

west... tom hiddleston who went to eton and... is at an issue for you? they are wonderful actors. they are fantastic. it is very hard for working—class. .. fantastic. it is very hard for working—class... in fantastic. it is very hard for working—class. .. in my fantastic. it is very hard for working—class... in my day, we subsidised theatre, we got grants, but these days, you can't get a grant to drama school at all. where will the next generation come from? i think things go in cycles. i was lucky to be on the wave of tom courtenay, albert finney, that all started for us in the 60s. then in the 70s we really cashed in on that. it was really not good to come from

a middle—class and have a middle—class accent. with few posh people trying to talk like that. so there would be accepted. you had to get rid of any accent you have. do you think hollywood has gotten better, or not, when it comes to roles for older women? no. i don't think there are good roles for women. you see wonderful actresses... there are exceptions such as meryl streep. and julianne moore, people like that. but she is not that old. i have worked with wonderful anette banning. so it is better. that is unusual in hollywood. i would look like a freak because everybody has. i would look

wrapped in a sleeping bag. every time you would try to take him out, he would have an anxiety attack. this is bleak. luca, fiona, sam, daniel. he would not have lasted two minutes. we would have had to leave straightaway. he would have been feeling sikh. his stomach would start hurting. this being around people there were a bit noisy or talking a bit loud. he would not have coped —— feeling sick. but he stayed. he waved. he nodded his head a few times, which is brilliant. there are none? 0h, a few times, which is brilliant. there are none? oh, no. what will you do? down that way? 0k. it is helping reinstate that mother and son bond. i have spent so long been

sweat and blood. who strives valiantly. who comes short again and again. because there is no effort without shortcoming. i'm so sorry for the people who came to watch and cheer me on. but who does actually strive to do the deed a smack? who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions —— them out. knows great enthusiasms, great devotions -- them out. this might be the last one? possibly. devotions -- them out. this might be the last one? possiblylj devotions -- them out. this might be the last one? possibly. i don't want to cry. who at the best nose in the end the triumph of high achievement. and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. thank you very much for watching. we

are back on air onjanuary do there. in the meantime, you can watch our films on our programme page on the website. hello. it looks as though wednesday will start on a cold note for many parts of the british isles. certainly in england and wales. but my major concern is the density of the fog. quite a widespread issue as we start the new day. not so much in the south—west. we will have had enough breeze overnight to keep the atmosphere that little bit more mixed. but where things have really settled, that is where the fog will have popped up.

central and eastern parts of wales, through the midlands to east anglia, down into the south—east and up towards the vale of york. further north, the fog a good deal more patchy, and so too the frost, but here, more in the way of cloud and breeze. an ever present feature throughout the day across the western isles. close by to a weather front, may produce the odd spot of rain. wind really quite a feature here. we are not without the chance of some sunshine. the borders of scotland, north of england, western side of wales and south—west of england. here, the temperatures having a chance to respond. 7—10 degrees or so. but, and it is a significant but, if that fog lingers with you, and it may well do in some locales, certainly through the midlands, east anglia and parts of the south—east, it will really put a dent in the temperatures as well as your visibility. that is not such an issue for the scottish premiership matches. there are four through the course of wednesday evening. but if you are journeying for this particular feature, southampton taking on spurs, there could well be a fog issue for your travels.

if you lose the fog, it may well reform from wednesday night into thursday. we will do it all over again. the weather front still a player over northern and western parts of scotland. further south, leaden skies for the most part. again, if you happen to keep the fog for any length of time during the course of the day, the temperature could be closer to 1—2 degrees rather than 4—7. thursday into friday, that weather front coming more towards the north—western quarter of the british isles. the isobars beginning to tighten up. fog less of an issue as we start friday. mild air streaming in across scotland, the western fringes of wales through northern ireland into the south—west of england. the last of the chilly conditions hanging on across east anglia. towards the weekend, out of the old year into the new, a significant change in the weather. the front comes further south and the isobars stream in from the north, and with it much colder weather. so a change to cooler conditions,

certainly, and near that front, quite wet too. a very warm welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to our viewers in north america and around the globe. my name's mike embley. our top stories: 75 years on, japan's prime minister shinzo abe makes a historic visit to pearl harbor, offering condolences to victims of the attack. translation: we must never repeat the horrors of war again. this is the solemn vow we, the people of japan, have taken. somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way. an outpouring of tributes. carrie fisher, the american actress who played the feisty princess leia in star wars, has died at the age of 60. argentina's former president, cristina fernandez de kirchner, is charged over corruption allegations. make no bones about it, scientists believe evolution may be to blame forjoint pain, and it could get even worse.
