captain says he is privileged and humbled to be replacing alastair cook. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. a bbc investigation has exposed widespread drug abuse and security failings at one of britain's biggest prisons. an undercover reporter from the bbc‘s panorama team spent two months working as a prison officer at a privately—run prison in northumberland. he found inmates threatening staff and even a hole in a prison security fence. the ministry ofjustice says it's looking into the allegations. here's our special correspondent ed thomas. undercover in one of our biggestjails. bbc panorama filmed the drugs feeding addiction inside. and the staff pushed

to their limits. hmp northumberland is a private jail run by the french company sodexo and home to more than 1,300 inmates. and for two months, bbc panorama's joe fenton. on his first day, 2.5 kilograms of spice, an illegal high with a prison value of £250,000, was found in two cells. despite this, panorama was told there was no lockdown, so the block could be completely searched. the bbc secretly filmed inmates high on drugs. this man had taken spice.

the reporter also witnessed a prison officer on the floor, suffering a seizure, after accidentally inhaling spice. and then there's the violence. cctv cameras recorded an inmate being stamped on. at one point, panorama's reporter was threatened by an inmate. the bbc discovered a serious security breach — alarms on two doors weren't working. nearby, officers found wire—cutters and later a hole in an inner security fence. it meant drugs could have been smuggled into the jail. the reporter asked

the governor what went wrong. so who will take responsibility for this jail‘s failures? today the justice secretary confirmed an investigation is under way. do you think sodexo should be running this jail, liz truss? we're conducting an investigation on this issue. i take this issue very seriously, that is why we are investing in 2500 officers across our prisons. what about hmp northumberland, though? thank you very much. as for sodexo, the company that runs the prison, they said the safety of staff and inmates is their top priority. you can see the full undercover

investigation tonight. this afternoon, thejustice secretary, liz truss explained how she plans to address the problems facing prisons in england and wales. she acknowledged that re—offending rates were too high but warned against, what she called, "dangerous quick fix solutions". our home editor mark easton looks at the challenges in dealing with offenders injail. the presence of england and wales are struggling to keep control. most of them are registered as overcrowded. if we take the long view and go back to 1900 we can see how the present population has been rising for more than a century. it has doubled in the last quarter of a century. 0bviously, has doubled in the last quarter of a century. obviously, the population has risen but the proportionjailed

in 1901 was 86 out of 100,000 people, today it is more than double. british incarceration rates are the highest in western europe. france lock up far fewer, italy and germany lower still. in scandinavian countries present is used much more rarely. why have our present numbers doubled in recent decades when crime has halved? commenting on the jail population figures, labour's shadow attorney general recently said it was inconceivable that the sum of human wickedness could have doubled in her lifetime. today, thejustice secretary liz truss said the real explanation is we've exposed more of the wickedness that was always there. the criminaljustice system has got better at catching and convicting criminals. sentence length is no better reflect the

severity of crimes like domestic violence, rate and child abuse. it is not the sum of human wickedness but has doubled, it is that we are driving it out from the shadows and pretending —— putting it where it belongs, behind bars. there are 300,000 more six offenders injail than before but less violent offenders. what has happened is sentences have got longer, the population has clearly shifted, but the budgets have got smaller. the number of front line officers has fallen sharply and with fewer staff, assaults, self harm and suicide have reached record levels. what is to be done? you could spend more money but the ministry ofjustice is demanding efficiency savings. you could insist fewer people are jailed but ministers claimed that would endanger the public. this government is pinning hopes on reoffending

dropping. the co—0p bank has announced it's putting itself up for sale. the high street bank — which has more than 4 million customers — almost collapsed in 2013 after a series of financial problems. it was bailed out by american hedge funds but has struggled to strengthen its finances because of low interest rates. our business editor simon jack reports on its problems and what the sale could mean for the bank's customers. at the co—operative bank we believe actions speak louder than words. well named for its ethical stance, the actions of the co—op bank have given it a rather more difficult reputation. co—op bank's problems started with an ill—fated merger with britannia building society. it helped punch a

hole in the finances. paul flowers was embroiled in a drug scandal in november of the year. the required an emergency rescue in me which saw their stake cut to 20%. today, the fo resa il their stake cut to 20%. today, the foresail sane was put up and the new boss explained why. the scale of the transformation challenge that we took on was bigger than expected. since there are near death experience, the co—op bank has never really regained full financial health. a combination of problems have meant it has been very difficult for banks big and small to

build up their cash reserves and the only options open to them are for the current owners to put in more money or put themselves up for sale. the co—op is a classic bank caught in the middle, not big enough to join the big boys and too big to be nimble. 0ther join the big boys and too big to be nimble. other banks are in a similar position. psp, virgin money. —— tsb. if you joined them with a bag of that size you could start to make the kind of cost savings. getting that right is important. whoever they sell to have to have the same sort of principles. it seems to have gone downhill. is everything going to go online? for customers it is business as usual but the high

street could lose 150—year—old name. 4 people have been killed in an avalanche in the french alps while they were skiing off piste this morning. they were in the resort of tignes near val d'isere. those who died were all french — and are thought to include a father and son as well as a ski guide. the resort is particularly busy at this time of year with french and british school holidays. almost 200 thousand people living below america's tallest dam were ordered to leave their homes last night — amid fears that part of it could collapse and flood the area. the authorities warned that both overflow channels were damaged and they are concerned that a 30 foot wall of water could hit homes near the 0roville dam in california. 0vernight they've been trying to reduce water levels — caused by weeks of heavy rain. dave lee reports. the 0roville dam has been unable to cope with historically high levels of rain. the overflow channel

crumbled to pieces. for the first time since it was built, it was relying on an emergency overflow channel, but that was soon in trouble as well. nearly 200,000 people were told to leave their homes immediately, sent to evacuation centres set up across the surrounding area. my neighbourhood was already basically empty. i panicked and started putting things in my car. i'm a little bit scared. we are trying not to go near the area so we can go we are trying not to go near the area so we can go home but we will probably be stuck down here. for the first time in 25 years the national guard has put in place a state—wide alert and soldiers are being sent into the area amidst worries from locals about looting. last time we did this was the 1992 riots. we put

out a notification not to report them but to be ready to go for all who are part of the californian national guard. effort to plug the damaged by using helicopters were successful, the authorities said. by sunday night the water level had decreased enough that the emergency channel was no longer in use. but there was relief expected. no rainfall is expected until the end of the week. a bbc undercover investigation reveals widespread drug abuse at one of britain's biggest presence. and still to come. a record—breaking night for adele at the grammys but the british star says she cannot accept one of the awards. coming up, manchester city face bournemouth knowing that a victory will move them up to second in the table and

to within eight points of chelsea. buy one, get one free. they are the sort of offers you see on the shop all the time. but the bbc has discovered for customers at tesco deal is not a lwa ys customers at tesco deal is not always a deal. an undercover reporter shop at 50 stores from newcastle to cornwall. but at 33 of them he was overcharged on multi—buy offers because promotions were out offers because promotions were out of date and no longer valid at the till. tesco says it is now checking the prices of all items in every store. if we see a special offer on the supermarket shelves, we expect to pay that price at the till, but that doesn't always happen at tesco. the gingerbread, they're are on two for £3 but it hasn't come off, and the cat food, the deal was three for £8.

and here's why. the labels are out of date. the bbc‘s inside out programme visited 50 tesco stores across england and found out—of—date special offers in 33 of them. at some stores, staff say it's a recurring problem. does that happen much then? and at another store, a worker blames the error on being short—staffed. they've cut the department in half. in most stores, workers removed the label straight away,

but not everywhere. at this store, the cashier refunds the difference but doesn't remove the label, so it's still on display when we go back in the next day, the next week... and one month later. the fourth cashier finally removes it. there are obviously major problems with their control of the special offers, and it's the special offers that bring customers in, make people reach for more and perhaps spend a little bit more than they meant to when they came into the store. so that is very, very worrying. throughout our investigation, tesco did refund the difference when informed about the discrepancies. the company wouldn't provide anyone for interview but after reviewing the bbc‘s evidence, said: following our investigation, britain's biggest supermarket has said it will be double checking the accuracy of every price in every store.

that's more than 3,500 stores across britain. but with some customers complaining it's a sector—wide problem, other big retailers could soon follow suit. jonathan gibson, bbc news. that full inside out report will be on bbc one in some english regions at 7.30 this evening and everyone can watch it online on the bbc iplayer. all last week we brought you reports on the pressures facing the health service in england, but how do patients cope when they have to deal with two different nhs systems? devolution has complicated cross—border health arrangements for thousands of people who are being treated by nhs england and its counterpart in wales. some complain they're caught in a two—tier system as our wales correspondent sian lloyd reports. that's the dividing line between 18 weeks and 26. the border between wales and england, for mariana robinson and pam plummer it represents different targets for

hospital waiting times for non—urgent treatment. 18 weeks in england, 26 in wales. mariana is an artist who says she's battled to get the pancreatic treatment she needs because the specialism is only available in england. because i live in wales, i do not have access to any choice of hospital, any choice of consultant, or any choice of going into england for my secondary care. and now, to me that is wrong, and i feel that i'm just being treated as a second—class citizen in wales. herfriend pam lives on the english side of the border but she says she has no choice but to register with her nearest gp, who is in wales. the issue is the waiting times. the other issue is that we have no democratic representation in wales whatsoever so we are just in no man's land. two legs both side of the border with the worst of all worlds. in the wye valley, the river separates two nations. following devolution,

wales and england have ta ken different paths, particularly when it comes to health policy, and people living in communities along its banks are having to navigate their way through different systems. so, just what is the flow of patients across the border? latest figures show 15,000 welsh patients registered with an english gp while 21,000 patients from england were registered with a family doctor in wales. just over 58,000 welsh patients were treated in english hospitals, while more than 10,500 patients from england were treated in hospitals in wales. welsh health policy is determined in cardiff bay. decision—makers here say they focus on outcomes and patient experience rather than targets. what do they make of concerns of cross—border patients like mariana and pam? to try and say this means they are somehow second—class citizens, i don't think that is a fair way to describe what we are able to do,

which is — in england and in wales — to deliver high quality health care to our citizens a great majority of the time, but this really is how we understand the nature of the problem and then do something practical about it rather than trying to condemn the system and say devolution has been a failure. but along the border, some patients feel penalised. offering a choice of hospital is a policy of nhs england. it says it's working with the welsh government on a pilot project to bridge the gap and give english residents that choice. the welsh government says its priorities to make sure that patients get the right care at the right time. devolution, it says, involves different choices being made. sian lloyd, bbc news, on the welsh border. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, is at the white house for his first face—to—face meeting with president trump. the pair, who differ on a range of policies, are expected to avoid contentious issues like immigration and focus instead on cross—border trade and women in the workplace. bell—ringing — it's not the kind

of weekend activity you'd think of as being particularly dangerous. but one enthusiast found himself in all kinds of trouble at worcester cathedral on saturday after his foot got caught in the rope and he was flipped upside down. 0ur midlands correspondent sima kotecha has the story. 51—year—old ian bowman was was visiting worcester cathedral with some fellow bell—ringers but his trip on saturday was ruined by an accident. mr bowman was ringing the bell here along with somebody else who was standing on this box. he was on tip toes to give himself more leverage, but this rope got tangled around his foot and he was pulled up into the air several feet, and was then dropped back down the same distance, hitting his head on the edge of this box here. these are dangerous, they are the biggest musical instruments in the world. we are very careful how we teach, so we teach people road safety, a bit like driving a car.

once you can do it you are safe but even driving a car sometimes accidents happen. he was ringing the heaviest bell in the tower. it weighs two and a half tonnes. firemen had to winch him down 80 feet in what's called a vacs mattress which moulds itself to his body, keeping him still. on arrival, we recognised that, due to the nature of his injuries and the fact we wouldn't want to move him any more than we had to, the best method of rescue was to lower him down by line down through hatches in the cathedral‘s roof. all in all it took about an hour to rescue the gentleman concerned. that was because we took our time because of the condition of the patient. mr bowman fractured a bone in his back but is still able to walk. despite his misfortune, he seems positive and has said these things do sometimes happen in life. sima kotecha, bbc news, worcester. joe root has been confirmed as the new test captain

of the england cricket team. the 26—year—old yorkshire batsman succeeds alistair cook who stood down last week. root said he felt "privileged, humbled and very excited". the biggest names in the music industry gathered in los angeles last night for the annual grammy awards. and it was a night of british success, with adele picking up five awards, including the album of the year. she dedicated the win to her rival beyonce, who she called the "artist of her life". there were four awards for the late david bowie too as our correspondent james cook reports. and the grammy goes to... this was about much more than a battle of two divas. 25, adele. adele looked far from comfortable with her sweep. this was the ninth year in a row when a white artist had won album of the year. but i can't possibly accept this award. my artist of my life is beyonce, and this album for me, the lemonade album was just

so monumental and so beautiful and soul baring, and the way that you make me and my friends feel, the way you make my black friends feel is empowering. the performance by the proudly pregnant megastar was stunning. but this most consequential of artists really was only winning consolation prizes. the night wasn't all adele's. for the second year in a row she had performance problems. i know it's live tv, i'm sorry i need to start again. i can't do it again like last year. i'm sorry for swearing and i'm sorry for starting again. can we please start it again? it was a good decision. the second take of her tribute to george michael was flawless. # i miss my baby #. applause

and then there was the politics. hostjames corden poked fun at himself and at president trump. right, all i'll say is any negative tweets that you see are fake tweets. "persist" was the word on katy perry's arm, a political statement from an artist who campaigned for and even dressed like hillary clinton. a tribe called quest and busta rhymes were even less subtle, urging resistance. i just want to beg president agent 0range to perpetuate none of the evil that you have perpetuated throughout the united states. this was billed as a battle between beyonce and adele, but behind that simple summary was a deeper layer of questions, not least about race and a country where cultures continue to clash. james cook, bbc news, at the grammy awards in los angeles. time now for a look at the weather

withjohn time now for a look at the weather with john hammond, and time now for a look at the weather withjohn hammond, and some warm weather at last. we are heading in the right direction, slowly. remember yesterday? a quick reminder if you needed, very cloudy and cold. three degrees was typical across the uk through the course of sunday afternoon. for some today, a com plete afternoon. for some today, a complete transformation and it felt almost like spring. 0n the cornish coast almost beach weather, 13 degrees here, very nice too. the other end of the uk was still shrouded in cloud across the far north—east of england and in scotla nd north—east of england and in scotland we were shivering once more, just four degrees. it stays really cloudy here overnight and to the far north—east of england, the wind coming off the north sea. the change in weather across the far

north—west, but for the rest are finite, but a chilly night. some frost in some places but sunshine to wa ke frost in some places but sunshine to wake up to in the morning. not for eve ryo ne wake up to in the morning. not for everyone though, the changing weather in the south—west. cloud and patchy rain pushing through, not in great amounts but the change in the web nonetheless. then sunshine from the south—east of the north—west, a fine start of the day here, albeit on the cold side. the temperatures will pick up in the sunshine, but for eastern scotland it stays cloudy and it won't get all that warm here. this patchy rain across the south—west will stagger across parts of the west country, wales, knocking on the door of northern ireland, but it will brighten up later across the south—west. a relatively mild day, and another chilly day across the north—east despite some brightness, but we all get miles later in the week.
