9:00 am
hello, it's thursday, it's 9am, i'm victoria derbyshire. welcome to the programme. waiting days for a response to a 999 call — a new report says a quarter of forces in england and wales are often overwhelmed by demand. we are seeing calls being delayed for hours and on occasion days and i'm sad to say the report says victims of domestic abuse are some of those being left waiting too long for a response. we'll be talking to the charity women's aid. eu leaders must remain united against a threat from russia — that's what theresa may will tell them when she travels to a european council summit in brussels today. he was treated to be made public. nine to 11 police officers, they came on top of him, after that, sheku never got up alive. you can hear that full interview at about 9.15am.
9:01 am
hello. welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. in half an hour, we're going to show you how you can check what data facebook holds on you and download it — that's after facebook founder mark zuckerberg apologised for allowing the data of 50 million users to be exploited. we're also talking about severe morning sickness today because scientists have identified a gene associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. some women, like kate middleton, end up being hospitalised with the condition. have you suffered from it? our top story today.
9:02 am
some people who are calling 999 to report a serious crime are having to wait days to be seen by police officers. the inspectorate of constabulary said a quarter of forces in england and wales were often overwhelmed by demand. the annual review found instances of police taking days to respond to calls that should be acted on within an hour. police chiefs said increases in demand had put policing under real strain. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, reports. police call: hello, police, what's your emergency? has the thin blue line become too thin? the body that monitors the police says the service is under significant stress with vulnerable victims often not getting a prompt response to emergency calls. every 999 call is graded according to how quickly police need to take action. but an inspection team found that thousands of calls which needed officers to attend within 60 minutes weren't dealt with for hours,
9:03 am
or in some cases, several days. the inspectorate of constabulary report on effectiveness also identified other concerns. it said there was a shortfall of 5,000 investigators and detectives. forces weren't doing enough to track suspects wanted by police, and basic tasks were overlooked during investigations into crimes such as robbery, burglary, car theft and assault. the national police chiefs‘ council said it's working with forces in england and wales to boost their detective numbers and specialist capability to help them manage and reduce demand. danny shaw, bbc news. what happens when you make a 999 call? when you get put through to the police control room, you are essentially graded, the call, according to how quickly the police need to respond. if it is a question
9:04 am
of life and limb, you are being attacked, or you have suffered a life—threatening injury, there was a burglar in your house, that would be graded as requiring immediate assistance and police should be there within 15, 20 minutes. the second category is where you have come home has been broken into, the burglars have scuppered, not quite as pressing a problem, or you area are a victim of domestic violence, the suspect has gone, you have got injuries, that requires assistance within an hour, a prompt call. two other categories, calls that need someone other categories, calls that need someone to come within 2a hours and ones that are not emergencies and you have to make an appointment. the second category, the prompt category, it requires police to be there within 60 minutes, that is where the problems are. that means according to the report some people are being left at risk. yes, particularly vulnerable victims. some forces were singled out. in
9:05 am
cambridgeshire constabulary, the average weight was 15 hours, for calls that should be dealt with within 60 minutes. south yorkshire police, greater manchester police, west midlands police, they were also problematic in that category, not responding quickly enough, sometimes taking days for police to get there. thank you. now to the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. good morning. theresa may will tell a summit of eu leaders that they must stand together in the face of a threat from russia which she says will endure for years to come. she'll warn that moscow doesn't respect borders and places all european nations at risk. a senior whitehall official has described russia as a strategic enemy. 0ur moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, has more. it was an invitation some had refused. reporter: ambassador, why are you taking part in this meeting? but these foreign diplomats had
9:06 am
accepted, to come and hear moscow's side of the story on the nerve agent attack. britain sent a diplomat to the foreign ministry, but the british ambassador stayed away. this is what he missed. translation: the british authorities are either unable to ensure protection from such a terrorist act on their territory or they themselves, directly or indirectly — i'm not accusing anyone — have directed this attack against a russian citizen. hello, my name is emma nottingham, and i'm from the british embassy. 0ff camera, the british diplomat hits back. sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia, were poisoned with a military grade novichok nerve agent of a type developed by russia in what we see as an attempted assassination. "what's going on in their heads?", he replies. "take a break from your russophobia and your island mentality." archive: berlin's great day
9:07 am
dawns with the arrival of the olympic flame... in britain, a labour mp suggested that vladimir putin would use the world cup like adolf hitler had used the 1936 olympics, "to cover up," as he put it, "a brutal, corrupt regime." the foreign secretary agreed. i think the comparison with 1936 is certainly right and i think it's an emetic prospect, frankly, to think of putin glorying in this sporting event. meanwhile, russia's propaganda machine tries to discredit sergei skripal. we witnessed this bizarre webcast where two convicted murders claimed to be ex—cellmates of the former double agent. on air, they accused him of drug addiction, even paedophilia. but after the show, one of them admits to me he saw nothing. it was just empty gossip.
9:08 am
the poisoning in salisbury has spawned an information war, one moscow is determined to win. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. facebook‘s founder, mark zuckerberg, has apologised after his company allowed the data of 50 million users to be exploited by the political consultancy, cambridge analytica. speaking to cnn, he accepted the need for better regulation at the social media giant. from washington, chris buckler reports. facebook contains a world of personal information. more than 2 billion users have entrusted it with details including their age, whether they're in a relationship and perhaps crucially, their political leanings. if you had told me in 2004...
9:09 am
when i was getting started with facebook that a big part of my responsibility today would be to help protect the integrity of elections against interference by other governments, i wouldn't have really believed that was going to be something i would have to work on. for days, mark zuckerberg was silent, while damaging allegations were broadcast around the world of how cambridge analytica took advantage of information from facebook users. now he's promising a full forensic audit and he says anyone whose data may have been compromised will be told. but mr zuckerberg knows his social network will continue to be tested by those looking to exploit it. there's a lot of hard work that we need to do to make it harder for nation states like russia to do
9:10 am
election interference, to make it so that trolls and other folks can't spread fake news, but we can get in front of this and we have a responsibility to do this, not only for the 2018 midterms in the us, which are going to be a huge deal this year, and that's a huge focus for us, but there's a big election in india this year, there's a big election in brazil, there's big elections around the world. politicians in both the uk and the us also have questions for mr zuckerberg. he said he would appear before congress in america if it was the right thing to do. and with talk of greater regulation and new rules, the face of facebook might find he has little choice. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. mps will observe a minute's silence today on the first anniversary of the westminster bridge attack. five people were killed in the car and knife attack by an islamic extremist. one of the victims was pc keith palmer who was stabbed
9:11 am
to death as he stood guard outside the houses of parliament. it's great that he's been honoured in the last few months for bravery awards and for the things that he's done. i'd sooner still rather have him here beside me than... people deserve these awards and merits and things when they're alive. the british company which makes uk passports says it's failed to win the contract to produce the traditional blue passport which will be reintroduced after brexit. de la rue says it's been told that a french firm is about to sign a deal to print the new passports after undercutting its rivals. the home office has insisted that it has run a fair and open competition but leading brexiteers have condemned the decision as perverse. the family of a father of two who died after being restrained by the police in scotland have told the bbc they were shocked after being shown cctv footage of his final moments. 31—year—old sheku bayou lost
9:12 am
consciousness after being arrested in kirkcaldy in may, 2015. the crown prosecutor in scotland is expected to decide soon if individual officers should face criminal charges in the case. there's a warning that councils in england could end up spending most of the taxes they raise providing care for people who are older and disabled. the institute for fiscal studies says the government needs to rethink reforms to local authority spending. but ministers say they've provided an extra £2 billion to support the social care system. experts have warned that common treatments for lower back pain, such as strong drugs and surgery, have a limited effect, and say problems are best managed by keeping active. lower back pain is one of the leading causes of disability globally, but specialists writing in the lancet say patients are often let down by their gps. they've urged doctors to stop offering what they say are ineffective treatments and recommend sufferers exercise more. some blueberry muffins sold by cafes and supermarkets contain more sugar
9:13 am
than the maximum adults are recommended to consume in an entire day. research done by action on sugar and the obesity health alliance found the cakes can contain up to eight teaspoons of sugar — the recommended daily limit for adults is seven. health experts say the findings show it's easy to consume huge amounts of sugar. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use #victorialive. you can send us an e—mail and facebook and the usual. let's get some sport withjessica. england have had an absolute shocker in new zealand. yeah, i think that is putting it lightly! to be a fly on the wall in the england dressing room. the sixth lowest test total,
9:14 am
58 all out. trent boult got six wickets and already a debate that has started on whether it was great bowling by new zealand or poor batting by england. here are the wickets, they did tumble. a chance for england to prove themselves after a poor ashes series. five players out for a duck including the captain,joe players out for a duck including the captain, joe root, and arguably the best player, ben stokes. calamitous performance. questions will be asked about the players‘ ability and preparation, did they have enough time? that it was put to the head coach, trevor bayliss, and he said the players know what they have to do. terrible performance. one positive for england, stuart broad got his 400th test wicket. as you can imagine, with a performance like that, this england collapse has made them the punch line of manyjokes on social media, including this from
9:15 am
the all blacks... even england cricket‘s official account, they had to admit... the official england account being so brutally honest, it sums up how bad things have been. new zealand closed the day on 175—3, leading by 117 runs with seven wickets remaining, they two, you can listen live to that on radio 5 live sports extra, beginning in the early hours of tomorrow morning, if you really wa nt hours of tomorrow morning, if you really want to! manchester united are going to have an elite women‘s team? phil neville is a former
9:16 am
manchester united player and he did say in january manchester united player and he did say injanuary he would speak to his old club about the issue. manchester united have applied to take part in the women‘s super league next season. the women‘s super league next season. the club decided not to have a women‘s team back in 2005 and have been under pressure to reinstate it. they have submitted an application and hopefully will have a team in the wsl to next season. chelsea ladies are in complete control of their champions league quarterfinal after their win against montpellier in the first leg. two valuable away goals. that gives the women‘s super league leaders are really big advantage ahead of the second leg on the 28th of march. manchester city also have the advantage in their quarterfinal. they have beat the swedish side 2—0. they have beat the swedish side 2—0. they really going well in women‘s
9:17 am
football. not quite the same for england‘s cricketers. that is all the sport for now but i will have more after ten o‘clock. the sport for now but i will have more after ten o'clock. thank you. the family of a father of two who died after being restrained by the police have told this programme they were shocked after being shown cctv footage of his final moments. 31—year—old sheku bayou lost consciousness after being arrested in kirkcaldy in may 2015. the crown prosecutor in scotland is expected to decide soon if individual officers should face criminal charges in the case. if that doesn‘t happen the family want cctv footage of his arrest — which has never been made public — to be released. in a few minutes we‘ll hear from sheku bayou‘s three sisters. first, our reporter jim reed has the story. everything that we should have had together is now gone. there‘s no doubt about it. if shek had not come into contact with the police
9:18 am
he would still be here. if shek had not met the police, or had not come in contact with the police on that day, would he be alive or would he still be dead? i believe he would still be alive. it‘s one of the most controversial cases in recent scottish history. a 31—year—old father of two, with no record of violence, dead after being arrested by police in a small scottish town. sheku bayoh you came to the uk from sierra leone as a child. he lived with his family in kirkcaldy on the east coast, working for scottishpower, training to be an engineer. being around him sometimes was like being around a force of nature. he was such an animated and... i don‘t ever recall being unhappy around him. at seven on a sunday morning in 2015, police were called to this quiet housing estate. they were reports of a man acting erratically and carrying a knife,
9:19 am
though no weapon was later found. cs spray and batons were used, and sheku bayoh was brought to the ground, face down, with up to six officers involved in the restraint. he was handcuffed. he has ankle restraints. and in less than two minutes he's no longer breathing. he dies at the scene. his body is covered with injuries from top to bottom. the human rights lawyer, aamer anwar, has been representing the family since that day. the question that arises is, was the force the police used reasonable, was it proportionate? and if not, then the police have a problem. a postmortem revealed a series of injuries over sheku bayoh‘s body, face and head, including a deep gash across his forehead. the police said a female officer was injured in the arrest. a toxicology report later said that drugs had been found in sheku bayoh‘s system that morning — ecstasy as well as traces of another then legal stimulant linked to erratic behaviour. his death certificate listed
9:20 am
both drugs and restraint as a cause of death. the police had received reports that someone was carrying a weapon. therefore, weren‘t theyjustified in using a certain level of force, even if they couldn‘t see the weapon on that man? we said on behalf of the family that it sheku bayoh broke the law, then the police had a right to act. but any force they used had to be reasonable and it had to be proportionate. every day in major cities across this country people are taking drugs, people act violently. it doesn‘t mean they have to end up dead. police have previously dismissed suggestions of racism in this case. the family are not convinced. bayoh was a muslim. at least two of the officers involved said they believed they could be facing a terrorist incident at the time. we are very worried about the racist part that was played in this case, because the way he was injured isjust — i think racism had to play a big part in it.
9:21 am
two years ago the bbc named one of the officers involved as pc alan paton. members of his own family had come forward to tell of an alleged violent past and history of racist abuse. violent past and history of racist views. a lawyer representing pc paton says he denies any wrongdoing whatsoever, and thinks it unfair the case is still ongoing. since his death, sheku bayoh‘s family has worked hard, meeting senior politicians, pressing the authorities. in august 2016, the police watchdog in scotland, pirc, finished its investigation into the case. that still can‘t be made public though, while the crown 0ffice decides if there should be a criminal prosecution into his death. i met with the crown 0ffice just a few weeks ago, and they still haven‘t made a decision yet, which quite honestly is astonishing. they‘re a private family. they‘ve had to expose their grief publicly just simply to get answers
9:22 am
and to ask for the truth. they‘ve not asked anything special, and yet they‘re still in no man‘s land in terms of what happened. sheku bayoh‘s family say if there is no criminal prosecution, they will push through a public enquiry, and plan to bring their own civil action in court against the police force and the individuals involved. almost three years after he died, the people he left behind say they are still a long way from having their questions answered. we‘re joined now in their first broadcast interview by sheku bayoh‘s three sisters — kadijatu johnson, adama jalloh and kosna bayoh. 0ur brother sheku was the last son of the bayou family. he came to the uk when he was 11 years old. he
9:23 am
lived in london and then he moved to kirkcaldy in scotland where he joined me. he continued his education. he had lots of friends. he was in youth groups. he was a fun loving guy. he has two children, isaac and tyler. they are six and three. he wasjust isaac and tyler. they are six and three. he was just a loving isaac and tyler. they are six and three. he wasjust a loving boy. he was well loved by the community and his friends. adama, how would you describe him? he was fun, he had ple nty of describe him? he was fun, he had plenty of friends, he would do anything for anybody. even as the younger brother to us, he was therefore our children. he would support off any time of the day. he was a really fun loving person. sheku had a very outgoing personality. he was full of life. he
9:24 am
loved his kids. he was supporting us as sisters. sheku was fun and his two boys, he cherished them so much. yes, it is a shame. i want to ask you about what you know of what happened on the day he died. it is going back almost three years. how did you first learn of his death?m was about three o‘clock on the 3rd of may 20 15. two plainclothed police officers came into my house. they told me that sheku had passed away. i was very upset, obviously. and so my husband asked them, how did sheku die? and they said, we are looking for two guys, they were involved in his death, so we are looking for these guys. and then after that, my husband said, so how?
9:25 am
was he shot? was there an accident? what exactly happened ? was he shot? was there an accident? what exactly happened? they said, we don‘t know, but we are looking for these two guys. so they went on. i contacted his girlfriend. his girlfriend came and she had another story gained from these same officers who came to me to tell me how he died. her story was different from what they had told me. they had told her that a passer—by found him on the floor and called an ambulance. so we started raising our eyebrows saying, what is going on? then we started to take things up from there. the exact circumstances around your brother‘s death are being looked at by the crown was in scotland, and they will make a decision about possible criminal charges for some of the police officers that attended your brother
9:26 am
that day. what is your understanding now what happened that sunday morning? that sunday morning, my brother was supposed to pick up tyler to spend the day with him as he usually does. then they said he was in the streets with a knife, but when the police met him he never had a knife on him. they took several days looking for a knife. they treated his house as a crime scene, they took all his kitchen knives away from his house, and up until now they have not been returned to us or now they have not been returned to us or his girlfriend yet. then, he was in the street and two police officers met him at the time, put him on the floor, and other police officers came on board and sheku
9:27 am
never got out of that. in terms of the facts, it was a sunday morning, it was about seven o‘clock in the morning, police had reports of a man acting perhaps erratically, potentially with a knife, although it is a matter of fact that no knife was found on your brother. you have seen was found on your brother. you have seen the tv footage recently of your brother‘s last, the last few minutes of his life. what exactly did you see? what we saw was sheku was walking in one direction and two police officers were in the other direction. they met with sheku, they put him down on the floor, hands behind his back, and then other police officers started coming with ca i’s police officers started coming with cars and out of their cars and jumping on top of sheku out of their cars, about nine to 11 police of visas came and everybody came and on top of him. after that, sheku never
9:28 am
got off to live. what was distressing for us is when they came, theyjust distressing for us is when they came, they just pounced distressing for us is when they came, theyjust pounced on top of him, with no communication amongst them to say what is happening or whatever, theyjust came out, pounced on top of him. said he was face down at that point? those officers had brought him down to the ground? and you say between nine and 11 further officers arrived. and from the cctv, adama, the further nine to 11 offices, where were they in that scenario? as they crossed the road, as cady mentioned, they knocked him down and the his cars ke pt knocked him down and the his cars kept flying in. there were eight police officers. it took awhile before the ambulance came and he was gone. what were the other officers
9:29 am
doing? where they standing up, where they around him? they were all over him. they were on top of him. part of the cctv was zoomed, you could see a hand go in. you could see he was being punched in the face or the eye or something. you could clearly see they were all on top of sheku. we cannot verify what you are saying but you say you are shocked by what you saw on that footage? we could see the movement of hands. all we know is the police just kept coming, getting on top of him. the
9:30 am
next minute, he was not back up from the ground again, an ambulance took five minutes for them to arrive, by then, he was already dead. and because of all the hand movements we saw, from his autopsy, broken bones we re saw, from his autopsy, broken bones were involved, he was badly beaten and bruised. he had so many injuries. a postmortem revealed a series of injuries over his body, face and heads including a deep gash on his forehead. the postmortem examination declares he died after taking ecstasy while being restrained. he had also taken another drunk the night before, at the time it was a legal hide linked toa the time it was a legal hide linked to a erratic behaviour. he had tried to a erratic behaviour. he had tried to attack one of his friends the night before —— a legal high. do you see how that might put the police in
9:31 am
a difficult situation, they are not sure what they are dealing with? the police face people in the situation ona police face people in the situation on a daily basis. his drug issue, they say when they met him, he acted erratically, so there may have a duty of care. it is their position now to step in and seek help for sheku, not to have damaged him the way he was until he died, that is our point. as i said earlier, the crown prosecutor will make a decision soon on whether there is enough evidence to open a criminal case against any of the officers, how confident are you in the authorities in scotland when it comes to making that decision? obviously, scottish law, my question is, if he never came into contact with the police, he should have been alive, because sheku was not erratic
9:32 am
in any behaviour at the time he was attacked and my understanding is... why is it taking so long for answers? you said at the time he was attacked, that is how you view this, as an attack from officers? yes. we have a statement from officers that they deny any wrongdoing and we will find out what the crown prosecutor decides when it comes to whether there is any evidence to open a criminal case against officers. do you trust the authorities? not at all. three years is too long to wait. if you do not have anything to hide, if you are not covering up anything, cctv is there clearly to see everything that has happened, there is no way to twist or cover up anything, whether sheku was on ecstasy, whatever he took, he walked past people on the way to the bus stop to pick up his summer morning, he did not harm anybody, until he
9:33 am
came into contact with the police, he did not harm anybody until he came into contact with the police. i believe he would have been alive today if he had not come into contact with the police. we have a family statement from all of you which says, the answer to why he died is simple. he was in the wrong colour of skin. that is a strong accusation of racism. which of the police absolutely deny. why are you certain that the colour of your brother‘s skin played a part in his death? it did because one of the very first police officers who met him bragged that, you know, he was proud to see they killed a black, you know, a black man, i don‘t want
9:34 am
to say on live television, which was very hurtful, and the same police officer has a history of violence in the past which was brought to his attention by his own family member. why should somebody be in the police force of that character? and that police officer denies any wrongdoing including accusations of racism. you lived in this small town, coco the colour you lived there for 15 years —— kirkcaldy. why did you move?|j colour you lived there for 15 years -- kirkcaldy. why did you move? i do not feel comfortable anymore. i do not feel comfortable anymore. i do not feel comfortable anymore. i do not feel safe for myself and my children as well. so i left. it is a shame because i have invested a lot in kirkcaldy. i went there, i did my studies, i gave back, i worked, in kirkcaldy. i went there, i did my studies, i gave back, iworked, i had my family there, but i had to leave because i did not feel safe.
9:35 am
do you think the truth will emerge of exactly what happened that day to your brother? we are hoping the truth emerges because we deserve to know the truth, my mother is hurting every day, she has lost her only son, she does not know how her son died, sheku‘s boys need to know, tyler is crying every day, where is my tyler is crying every day, where is ddy? tyler is crying every day, where is my daddy? our children are just getting in terms now to understand that uncle sheku will not bring you a christmas present anymore, he will not take you to the park anymore. we should not leave that, we want justice to prevail, whoever has done this, to be brought tojustice. thank you all very much for coming on the programme. thank you for having us. thank you for your m essa 9 es having us. thank you for your messages as well. this e—mail, bear
9:36 am
with me, a tweet, why does it have to ta ke with me, a tweet, why does it have to take so long for the family to get answers, unless they are covering up something? if it was a normal member of the public, they would be in prison. because it is the police, history tells us they are above the law, this e—mail from david, easy to continually attacked the police from the studio, please have some balance and understanding, remember they have to do something in these events, often at a second‘s notice, they are not able to pontificate and criticise without any risk. still to come... mps will observe a minute‘s silence today on the first anniversary of the westminster bridge attack. we will look back to that day. and mark zuckerberg, facebook founder, apologises for mistakes allowing 50 million of its users‘ data to be passed
9:37 am
on to another company. we will show you how you can get the exact data facebook have volume. this e—mail saying, when i added a goal‘s phone number from this e—mail saying, when i added a goal‘s phone numberfrom a dating app onto my phone for whatsapp messaging, she appeared as a suggested friend on facebook. there is no other way facebook could have got that information except from whatsapp and that is because facebook bought whatsapp in 2014 and they have also bought instagram and thatis they have also bought instagram and that is why they are able to do that. i hope that makes sense. time for the latest news. the bbc news headlines this morning. some victims of domestic violence and other serious crimes are not being seen by police officers for hours or even days because of a failure to respond properly to 909 calls. —— 999 calls.

there was a body. and when i looked further up, there was another body. and then when i looked over the side of the bridge, there appeared to be a body in the water. to be honest, it is sick to witness these things. right now my hands still keep shaking. and it‘s not something i would like to witness everyday. a car, a weapon, ploughing through pedestrians on westminster bridge. the car then crashed near to parliament and at least one man continued to attack in front of parliament. go! move yourself, go! today across the service we have
9:43 am
police officers in mourning for the fallen colleague. emergency services trying to save him and his victims. there were a group of patients who had very serious injuries and they we re had very serious injuries and they were taken to hospital as a priority and there were some more minor injuries and walking wounded. the streets of westminster are ingrained with a spirit of freedom that echoes in some of the furthest corners of the globe undervalues our parliament represents, democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law, they command the admiration and respect of free people everywhere. that is why it is a target for those who
9:44 am
reject those values. but let me make it clear today, as i have had calls to do before, any attempt to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed to failure. we want the world to know that we are free and we relish our freedom and we are proud to be british, we are proud to be londoners. what could possibly motivate a man to hire a car and ta ke motivate a man to hire a car and take it from birmingham to brighton to london and then drive it fast at people he had never met? we weep for the violence. for the hatred, for the violence. for the hatred, for the loss of life. for all that divides and spoils the world. one of the five people who died in the
9:45 am
attack on westminster bridge was a romanian tourist. she was on her first trip to london. she was thrown into the river thames from the bridge and she died in hospital two weeks later. her sister, magda, so she is angry. there are moments when we take the phone to call her, or to write on the messenger. and when we go to constanza, to the beach, all the time we met, we‘d go to the beach together. we spent the whole time together. and now all of this doesn‘t make any sense. it‘s not the same thing. and it won‘t be the same. we‘re going to talk now to kevin schofield, a journalist
9:46 am
who witnessed the unfolding attack from his office window. ayesha malik held a solidarity protest with others on westminster bridge days later, and dr itit albert, psychologist and lead for the trauma support unit at south london and maudsley nhs trust. tell us what happened ?|j tell us what happened? i was sitting at my desk and i heard a loud bang from westminster bridge. we got up and looked out of the window and it quickly became apparent that there had been some kind of incident. it was difficult to see where we were standing at exactly what had happened. then quickly after that i noticed a commotion down to my left as the guy forced his way through
9:47 am
the gates. did you know immediately what was going on? did you know what you were witnessing? it happened so quickly and it was so unusual that we did not have a clue. obviously somebody was trying to get through the security barriers and if i remember rightly, he got past the police officer and got as far as he could, and then he was out of my eye line and then we heard the gunshots, and that is when we realised it was particularly serious. we did not know at that point whether it was him firing or it was police or security. it is shocking? well, you do not expect it. after that it was com plete do not expect it. after that it was complete pandemonium. from where i was standing and looking down on a courtyard area, and there was just police swarming and running around.
9:48 am
we were told the press gallery was in lockdown. we did not know there was an assailant inside the precinct. ayesha, you decided to ta ke precinct. ayesha, you decided to take part in a demonstration on westminster bridge with fellow muslim men and women, why?” westminster bridge with fellow muslim men and women, why? i think it was in —— important because our human chain represented what the extremists seek to destroy. it was people from different faith backgrounds and ethnic backgrounds locking hands on westminster bridge just days after a terrorist incident had unfolded there. it is symbolic of the resilience that extremists will not divide us, will not seek to scored and importantly, it is
9:49 am
important to remember that we will not respond to hate with more hatred because that will lead to more divisiveness in society. how should we tackle extremism? i appreciate it isa we tackle extremism? i appreciate it is a huge overarching question but what are your views? there are many things to that question which i think it is important to remember that terrorism is not linked to any particular faith. it is well established that there are a year political factors that influence terrorism. i think from a geopolitical perspective that two or three things are very vital. this was highlighted by the head of the anti—mithun community —— the community last weekend where we held a symposium and that is that poverty
9:50 am
and war provide fertile ground for radicalisation. i think we in liberal democracies we hold values of plurality and diversity, values the prime minister was speaking about, and i think we need to hold ourselves stronger to these values. i think where the international arms trade comes in, where funding of extremism comes in... of islamist terrorism is associated with a perversion of islam, you would accept that? i would not entirely accept that? i would not entirely accept that, victoria, because i think if you read about, if you go into depth about how terrorists are motivated, they are not looking at a particular scripture. there is widespread evidence now and karen armstrong and other people have spoken about this, thatjournalists
9:51 am
have been hijacked in iraq and syria, they have spoken about this that there was not a single koran in the presence of terrorism, no one got up when the call of prayer was sounded to pray. i think there are more complex factors. we know that the wake liberal democracies have engaged with the middle east. i think a lot of our actions have come back to haunt us, and i think...” am sorry to interrupt that i do want to bring in our psychologist, dr idit albert who is sitting here. what is the initial reaction to a terrorist incident like this? there will be dreams and thoughts about it. that is very common and normal. how will symptoms develop? symptoms
9:52 am
can develop straight after the traumatic event but what we are looking at is symptoms which stay there for or five weeks later, and when they become stronger and intensified. when we see people who are developing sleep difficulties, strong feelings of irritability, guilt, shame, difficulty in concentration, and they are very much troubled day—to—day by their experiences of reliving a tour matic event. you have had over 400 referrals i understand from the events in the capital last year will stop what happens? first we screen people for well—being. stop what happens? first we screen people for well— being. if stop what happens? first we screen people for well—being. if people have symptoms, then they have quite a thorough assessment with specialist psychologists. people who require treatment, then we'd provide them with a daily package of treatment. this normally consists of
9:53 am
psychological treatment. we do have effective psychological treatment. the important thing is to get people to have the treatments. to get access. thank you all for coming in and thank you, ayesha as well. coming up... the inspectorate of constabulary says some 999 calls are not responded to four days or even weeks so responded to four days or even weeks so how can the police forces survive under the strain? facebook‘s founder, mark zuckerberg, has broken his silence and apologised after his company allowed the data of 50—million users to be harvested by the political consultancy, cambridge analytica. it‘s alleged the firm then went on to psychologically profile american users as part of donald trumps 2016 electoral campaign. here is mark zuckerberg speaking to cnn. if you had told me in 2004, when i was getting started with facebook that a big part of my responsibility today would be to help protect the
9:54 am
integrity of elections against interference by other governments, i would not have really believed that that was going to be something that the i would have to work on 14 years later but we‘re here now and we are going to make sure we do a good job. this isn‘t rocket science. there is a lot of hard work that we need to do to make it harderfor nation states like russia to do election interference, to make it that trolls and other folks cannot spread fake news, but we can get in front of this. we have a responsibility to do this, not only for the 2018 midterms in the us which be huge deal this year, there is also a big election in india this year, a big election in brazil, big elections around the world. like over two billion of us on the planet, i have a facebook page, and yesterday i downloaded the data they have on me. this is how you do it, if you want to download your own data to see what fb knows about you.
9:55 am
so, go to your facebook page. go to the top right—hand side where there isa the top right—hand side where there is a black arrow and click on that. scroll down to where there are settings. then you get your general account settings where it has your name and e—mail address and so forth. with past all of those and then there is some text where it says download a copy of your facebook data. click on that. then download archive. it is going to ask me for my password so look away for a second! i did do this earlier. thank you. what happens is, that will take some time now to download. i have only been using facebook in a
9:56 am
personal capacity for about a year so personal capacity for about a year so there is not much data on me. what will then happen is you will getan e—mail what will then happen is you will get an e—mail which says this is your data ready to download. your facebook download is ready. you click on that and what it does is send you a file. it is asking me to put my password in again. it will send you a file and you can predict out or you can e—mail it to whoever. here is my data. it is not very interesting because i have only been using it for about a year. it has got when i first registered, january 25 2017. my date of birth, the fact iama 25 2017. my date of birth, the fact i am a woman. music, it says bbc radio for which is bizarre. i must have put some clips on there. and it has got various pages i like and things i talk about. for me, it happens to be various cancer charities. bathtub, good reads,
9:57 am
audible, all the things i am interested in and all the pages i like —— bafta. it will probably take you longer if you have way more dated than me. i do not use facebook that much and i do not post pictures of my children. you can see exactly what they know about you. so, the next question is, once they have got all that data, if you have facebook, what do third—party is no about your data and what can you do if you do not want to use your data in this way? let‘s ask data strategistjennifer stirrup and ivana bartoletti who has worked extensively on data ethics. wise people‘s data so valuable? wise people's data so valuable ?m is valuable because of the patterns in people‘s data. it understands people better and you can sell
9:58 am
services to them. in the case of cambridge analytica, they have done this and people can be manipulated by date they have freely given away. freely given away. cambridge analytica and other companies deny they have not done anything wrong. facebook is not free because you are giving up your data? yes, and giving away data is central to facebook‘s business model. people do not like it because they feel there is a lack of transparency. once the data has gone to facebook, you don‘t know what has happened after that. it feels like an imbalance of power. the key with this particular story this week is an app that was designed harvested the data of users‘ friends and of course nobody
9:59 am
gave permission for that. how do you stop this happening, ivana? first of all there are lots of things which can be done. i would like people clearly to understand what personal data is. you can say that you own your personal data. it is like your carand your your personal data. it is like your car and your mobile phone. you can say, actually, iam happy car and your mobile phone. you can say, actually, i am happy to sell this thing that i own. but if you consider personal data, it is your own persona , consider personal data, it is your own persona, it becomes much more important, so understanding what is personal data, and making sure that we citizens and the public understand the value that it is not something that we own, but it is who we are that places a completely different understanding of what personal data is. this this makes
10:00 am
sure whatever we sign up to we know what we are accepting. there is a new regulation which comes in which isa new regulation which comes in which is a fantastic tool. it is called the general data protection regulation and although perhaps it doesn‘t go far enough, it is a fantastic compromise but it has allowed, it forces organisations to become more transparent to say what they will do with their data, and it also deals with the core issue that happened with facebook, with the relationship with vendors. what happened wrong there was there was not enough governance, ethical governance around handing over data to third parties and this legislation clarifies all this. the most important thing i think is for us as citizens to say, this data is about me, i want to know what happens, and if! about me, i want to know what happens, and if i don‘t like it, i
10:01 am
wa nt to happens, and if i don‘t like it, i want to ask plain answers about the use of personal data. is it possible to withhold permission to facebook? the issue is now you have an account, the data is out there, said the issue will be evenif out there, said the issue will be even if people are deleting accounts right now, they are not necessary deleting the data facebook holds. withholding information, do not sign up withholding information, do not sign upfor withholding information, do not sign apps, withholding information, do not sign upforapps, do withholding information, do not sign up for apps, do not put your children‘s data up there... billions of people do. it is one of the scandals, almost the start of a scandals, almost the start of a scandal because people are starting to understand, they have given their data away, they are starting to understand the consequences. data away, they are starting to understand the consequencesm data away, they are starting to understand the consequences. it has always been, i give my data, and in return, i get a fantastic... digital
10:02 am
ethics. your specialist area. good you are here. finally, briefly, you obtain data and analyse it for clients, not dissimilar to cable channel to get in essence, how you do you obtain that data?” channel to get in essence, how you do you obtain that data? i make sure my customers maintain the permissions of the data we are using. by asking them? we have to make sure people have signed... if there are terms and conditions, people have to read, except those. i‘m fortunate my customers take this policy for that —— take responsibility for that. i am tackling things like variables predicting homelessness, it is not—for—profit, trying to improve people‘s lives. there can be good in data. people need to be more data literate. the value of data is
10:03 am
fantastic. if you think how much it can improve health, how much data can improve health, how much data can be for the common good, the thing is, we need to make sure all of this can happen for the common good and for the right causes and therefore, businesses take responsibility and this is why the new legislation will come into force, very important, but also the public, need to take ownership. there is nothing illegal or illegitimate about using data to target advertising if you are clear, if you think you have permission, and the advert is branded. absolutely. thank you. the latest weather. i‘m sure you noticed how much milder it was this morning compared to yesterday. yesterday a widespread frost, temperatures down to —5, —6, this morning, five, six, seven. more cloud this morning. in lincolnshire,

10:12 am
i kind of blanked out for a moment and then i was shaking her hand. big things to come from her, i am sure. that is all the sport for now. good morning. some victims of domestic abuse and other serious crimes are being left waiting for hours or even days for police to respond to 999 calls. a new report from the inspectorate of constabulary, the organisation which independently assesses the efficiency of police forces in england and wales, says some forces are overwhelmed by demand. let us talk then take 80, the chief executive of the charity women‘s aid, matthew scott, the conservative police and crime commissionerfor kent, conservative police and crime commissioner for kent, also the national lead for pccs from the association of police and crime commissioner is. and also with us, the cambridgeshire force deputy chief constable, alan baldwin. katie, first of all, what can be the
10:13 am
result if a call meant to be responded to within 60 minutes is not responded to within several hours even days, when it comes to domestic abuse? it can be a matter of life and death. we have heard situations when the victim has called because they are being stalked by a dangerous partner or ex—partner and they have not had the response they needed and tragically they may even end up being killed by they may even end up being killed by the ex—partner, that is the extreme end. thinking about other cases, every victim of domestic abuse needs the right response the first time round, it takes courage to get on the phone to reach out, it is very dangerous to think about victims being left on their own without having that call responded to. from the cambridgeshire force, talking specifically about your force in a moment, do you accept that, it can bea moment, do you accept that, it can be a matter of life and death for example for victims of domestic abuse? yes, i do accept it,
10:14 am
victoria. katie points out they are extreme cases. but we recognise there is real vulnerability for victims of domestic abuse and we prioritise our response. except you don‘t because it suggests in september last year, the report, on average, taking 15 hours for you to get to call that should have been responded to within 60 minutes. that is right. we very much regret what happened in septemberand is right. we very much regret what happened in september and i personally apologise to victims affected. that was as a result of the increase demand, significant increase of demand, in the summer of la st increase of demand, in the summer of last year which saw as dealing with probably 10% more than we have previously dealt with, together with the complexity of many cases, it meant our capacity to respond in september was not where we would have liked it to be. what i can say now is that in about half of cases we receive now, we respond within 60 minutes and the average response
10:15 am
time is 70 minutes, we have significantly improved, but i accept the criticism levelled at us for september. how have you managed to improve? how have you so so it could happen again, demand could go up again if the same thing happened in your force? not so much that it could happen in regards to our response times, but we are making more offices available. we are increasing capacity, increasing offices at the front nine and we are the process of re—structuring. it is much less likely to happen again. we have had to respond to the significant demand that policing has seen significant demand that policing has seen right across the board last summer. seen right across the board last summer. i seen right across the board last summer. lam pleased seen right across the board last summer. i am pleased that demand has come down and i am pleased that response times are back to where they are. matthew scott, you are a conservative police and crime
10:16 am
commissionerfrom kent. conservative police and crime commissioner from kent. how conservative police and crime commissionerfrom kent. how do conservative police and crime commissioner from kent. how do you respond to some of the findings in this report today? overall the report shows that most police forces are good or outstanding in the way they deal with crime and anti—social behaviour. but there are some important issues which are raised that it important issues which are raised thatitis important issues which are raised that it is incumbent on lease and crime commissioner is to respond to to give victims of crime and the confidence they need to come forward in the future. what a number of police and crime commissioners are doing next year, thanks to the flexibility that has been given and the council tax, is to increase our police officers. i am increasing mind by 200. it is incumbent on pccs and chief constables to provide a competence of response to this report where weaknesses are identified. glynn says what are we paying the police for if they cannot attend 999 calls on time? that is a
10:17 am
fair challenge. a lot of the demand on policing now is notjust about crime and anti—social behaviour. this report highlights the fact that between a fifth and 40% of time is dealt with dealing with cases of mental health. the amount of time we can deal with crime is impacted by that issue. we need other agencies to support the police are bit better, for victims services and people in mental health crisis. local authorities will say, please can you stop cutting our budgets so we can have enough of those agencies in the community to help with elderly people, vulnerable people, people with mental health conditions? using the example of mental health, nhs england have acknowledged they have had the £1.4 billion extra you know it is not enough. but the clinical commissioning groups say it is not
10:18 am
enough. council tax has been increased to pay for more social services. we need to free up offices‘s time —— officers‘ time to deal with anti—social behaviour. janet says her daughter was assaulted by her boyfriend who threw her phone out of the window. she called 999. a male police officer arrived at 5:15pm the next afternoon. my daughter was badly beaten. the officer said he would find the perpetrator. this did not happen for two days. this is deeply unacceptable. this shows why we need so unacceptable. this shows why we need so much unacceptable. this shows why we need so much awareness unacceptable. this shows why we need so much awareness of what domestic abuses and the real dangers. i have talked to women who feel they have been fobbed off. the real danger
10:19 am
from an abusive partner has not been recognised or tackled there and then. this tweet says budget cuts, resources shrunk, stations closed, what does anyone expect the police to do. is that fair? we know budgets have been cut so i'd take the person whose tweeted's point, i would say to the police chief's responsibility to the police chief's responsibility to operate in the financial envelope they have and operate accordingly and be really clear about what the risk is to be vulnerable victims, to be able to respond quickly. ourjob is to get on with the job and protect people. thank you all very much for coming on the programme. your own experiences are very welcome. if you called 999, what was the police response? we asked the policing minister nick hurd to come on the programme. he said diary
10:20 am
commitments prevented him from doing so. commitments prevented him from doing so. he said in a statement: the government recognises that demand is changing and increasing. we have provided a comprehensive settlement which will increase funding across the police system. he adds, the government has given new powers to protect honourable people including protection orders and offences under the modern slavery act. but it is clear that the police response can be inconsistent and requires improved. still to come, the prime minister says eu leaders must stand together in the face of threats from russia which will endure for years to come. earlier in the programme, we spoke to some people who were directly involved in the westminster terror attack which took place on this day last year. five people were killed and many more were injured after a 50t and many more were injured after a 50 t rolled mantra of a car into a crowd on westminster bridge.
10:21 am
—— a 52—year—old man. he stabbed pc keith palmer before being shot dead. the swat team turned up with paramedics and they asked us to abandon our vehicle and just walk away. several shots were fired outside parliament. there was a body. and when i looked further up there was another body. and then when i looked over the side of the bridge there appeared to be a body in the water. to be honest, it is sick to witness these things. right now my hands still keep shaking. and it‘s not something i would like to witness everyday. a car — a weapon — ploughing through members
10:22 am
of the public on westminster bridge. the car then crashed near parliament and at least one man, armed with a knife, continued the attack and tried to enter parliament. shouting. today across the service we have police officers in mourning for their former colleague. emergency services trying to save him and his victims. there were a group of patients that had some very serious injuries, and they were taken to hospital as quickly as possible as a priority. and there were some more minor injuries and some walking wounded that needed support. these streets of westminster are ingrained with the spirit of freedom that echoes in some
10:23 am
of the furthest corners of the globe. and the values our parliament represents — democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law — command the admiration and respect of free people everywhere. that is why it is a target for those who reject those values. but let me make it clear today, as i have had cause to do before, any attempt to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed to failure. we want the world to know that we are free and we relish our freedom, and we are proud to be british, we are proud to be londoners. what could possibly motivate a man to hire a car and take it from birmingham to brighton
10:24 am
to london, and then drive it fast at people he'd never met? we weep for the violence, for the hatred, for the loss of life. for all that divides and spoils our world. with us in the studio is doctor sally leaves lee, a terrorism expert who advises on security and a former detective constable from the met‘s special branch. the threat in this country is ever present as we know but we have to get on with things, don‘t we? but we have to get on with things, don't we? yes, we do. life must go on. in this country we have experience of being at the wrong end of terrorist events but we carry on, it‘s what we do. we have to carry on but we have to be mindful all the
10:25 am
time that there are people watching, people waiting. more of these events will happen and it behoves all of us to try and be aware of what we possibly can and if we see something wrong then dial 999. do you agree that more of these things will happen? it is at any time, the police and services are doing a marvellous job because after the events at westminster, there could have been a surge of terrorist attacks but they have held it down. the terrorist movement has absolutely the terrorist movement has a bsolutely lost after the terrorist movement has absolutely lost after that attack. and picking up on what chris said, it is not only dial 999, but keep yourselves and your family alive. be very aware of where you can move, how far you can get to get a distance between yourself and that activity. is it right what you said,
10:26 am
because after westminster we saw what happened at the manchester arena and borough market in london, and finsbury park mosque. but we have not had a rolling week after week list of attacks and we have not had the same level of armed people on the streets compared with paris. the intelligence operation is working but it is the community response with the police that will be terribly important. i'm going to bring in professor sir keith porter. he isa bring in professor sir keith porter. he is a surgeon and is co—founder of citizen aid which is an app which advises members of the public how to give vital first advises members of the public how to give vitalfirst aid advises members of the public how to give vital first aid to victims of attacks. how can the public help to save attacks. how can the public help to save lives after a terrorist incident? there is a vacuum between when a person is injured and when the professional paramedics can have access to the scene, when it is safe
10:27 am
to do so. we know from the military experience that many people died during that time. what citizen, ed aims to do is to empower the public to deliver those life—saving skills which are tried and tested to save lives during that waiting period when waiting for paramedics to arrive. what is the most important thing a member of the public can do? in relation to blast injury, it is severe external bleeding. our system teaches to arrest haemorrhage, packed winds and if necessary, use an improvised or commercial 10k. and it is ok for people with no proper training to intervene in that way —— tourniquet. we know when we have taught on these courses that they have performed admirably often with minimal or no training. what we would like is people to download the
10:28 am
citizen aid app and with it comes familiarisation materials so it would be nice to go through and understand what we are trying to teach them before the next event occurs. we know that last year, chris cully, the police thwarted ten islamist terror plots and i think it is fourfar islamist terror plots and i think it is four far right terror plots, so they are having some success. what has proved the most effective when it comes to counterterrorism? in what respect? some terror plots succeed and some of thwarted?” what respect? some terror plots succeed and some of thwarted? i see what you mean. certainly, if you have some intelligence that you can act on ahead of the game it becomes more successful. the other problem you have got is if the terrorists who are going to perpetrate something, they are well trained, they are sophisticated, if they have done their due diligence, they become a much more difficult target
10:29 am
to interrupt. it all comes back to intelligence and keep it rolling all the time and be aware of who is out there and who is doing what. how would you both categorise the current security environment? would you both categorise the current security environment7m would you both categorise the current security environment? it is be very alert at any time. if you're in the street, if you are taking your child to school, be aware of what is happening in the street and always have a plan of where you're going to run too quickly. that very unrealistic. always have a plan, you do not live your life like that? you do not live your life like that? you do when you go to the cinema, you know where the exits are in case there is a fire. maybe it is because of your background that it is the norm for you but it is not for me u nless norm for you but it is not for me unless i am very unusual? it is a first 20 seconds after an attack
10:30 am
that can save your life. citizens can come to your assistance but you do not want citizens converging in unless they have approval by the police to do that, because they can come into a line of fire and they can be part of another part of a terrorist attack. it is scatter and get away as quickly as possible. these are relatively rare events. yes, they are. it is not a comfort because they can happen at any time, but if you are aware, you can deny the terrorists a win. still to come. . . the terrorists a win. still to come... the duchess of cambridge has famously suffered with severe morning sickness. now scientists say it could all be caused by two particular genes. and we will hear how some blueberry muffins have more
10:31 am
chocolate in them than in a chocolate in them than in a chocolate bar. time for the latest news. the headlines now. it has emerged some victims of domestic violence and other serious crimes are not being seen by police officers for hours or even days because of the failure to respond properly to 999 calls. a quarter of forces in england and wales are often overwhelmed and police chief said increases in demand had put policing under real strain. theresa may will tell a summit of eu leaders they must stand together in the face of a threat from russia which she sells will endure for yea rs which she sells will endure for years to come. she will warn moscow does not respect borders and places all the eu nation that risk. it has been described by whitehall official asa been described by whitehall official as a strategic enemy. mark zuckerberg has admitted facebook made mistakes leading to millions of facebook leaders having data exploited —— facebook users.
10:32 am
cambridge analytica is accused of improperly using the data on behalf of political clients. mark zuckerberg pledged to take action against rogue apps. mps will observe against rogue apps. mps will observe a minute‘s silence today on the first anniversary of the westminster bridge attack. five people were killed by an islamist extremist. a memorial is being unveiled for those who died or were injured in the three separate terror attacks in london last year. that is a summary of the latest bbc news. the latest sport. a calamitous england batting performance sees them 58 all out in their first performance sees them 58 all out in theirfirst innings in the performance sees them 58 all out in their first innings in the first test against new zealand, five out for a duck and their sixth lowest test total ever. west ham have given lifetime bans to five supporters who invaded the pitch in the team‘s defeat by burnley earlier this month. manchester united have
10:33 am
applied to have a professional women‘s team. they have been heavily criticised for not having an adult women‘s side and they have submitted an application for the women‘s super league. serena williams has been knocked out of the miami open in the first round by naomi osaka after she continues her return after the birth of her first continues her return after the birth of herfirst child. continues her return after the birth of her first child. that is all for now. theresa may will tell a summit of eu leaders in brussels today they must remain united against a threat from russia to all european democracies. she will argue the nerve agent attack and so anaemic results pre—shows moscow has no respect for international law or borders. norman is at westminster. pretty crucial she brings european nations together in this respect. what is striking is the language she is expected to use tonight, incredibly blunt and stark. she will tell other eu leaders that russia is
10:34 am
now, our strategic enemy, tell other eu leaders that russia is now, ourstrategic enemy, enemy! and that we have got to wake up the fact russia will be a threat for years come. and that, in her view, salisbury is just the latest in a long line of instances which show russia‘s contempt for the west, its willingness to defy the west, pointing to things like crimea, ukraine, the shooting down of the malaysian airline, interfering in western elections, the cyber warfare, and now the attempted killing in salisbury. the difficulty she faces, as we know, many eu countries have a much more equivocal attitude to russia, like greece, the five star movement in italy, much more pro—russia, added to which, countries like germany rely on russia for a lot of their energy supply. what mrs may is trying to do, shock therapy, tojolt supply. what mrs may is trying to do, shock therapy, to jolt the supply. what mrs may is trying to do, shock therapy, tojolt the eu into recognising and accepting the threat she believes russia now
10:35 am
poses. have a lesson to matt hancock, the cabinet minister, this morning talking to this. have a listen. it is important western democracies take the action necessary to ensure that there is not disinformation and propaganda spread by foreign states. so it is something we have got to work with our allies on but we can also take action domestically, as we have done. the funny thing is, even given all of the language, do not expect the eu to suddenly come out with a whole blizzard of new sanctions or diplomatic measures to boot out russian spies or whatever, the signs are the probably the best mrs may can hope for is a slightly beefed up statement from the eu which shows the real difficulties the government is getting in trying to get more forceful international support against russia. you can hear the
10:36 am
prime minister‘s speech tonight on bbc news, as you would expect. the severe morning sickness the duchess of cambridge had, it turns out it is all in the genes. let us talk to emma watford, who had to give up her job as a deputy headteacher while pregnant, and her daughter is here, and she had this particular condition, hyperemesis gravidarum, it sounds like a harry potter spell. it caused you seven months of severe morning sickness. and also in plymouth, a nurse who had the same condition. it caused nausea, vomiting, and she is now chair of the pregnancy sickness support charity. before we talk about the new research, just explain how this condition affected you. it is utterly debilitating, you expect to experience a little bit of morning sickness as a rite of passage in
10:37 am
pregnancy, a positive sign, but it ramps up to something really extreme food poisoning, like that, and there is no letup. for me, it persisted for months, and that is common, you cannot move for being sick. co nsta ntly cannot move for being sick. constantly sick? even the smell of water would make you sick. co nsta ntly water would make you sick. constantly sick or you can find strategies where you stop being sick by staying very still in a darkened room for weeks or months on end. absolutely debilitating. caitlin, how about you ? absolutely debilitating. caitlin, how about you? much like them, i was bedbound for months on end. —— much like emma. at times, almost been continuously sick, early in the pregnancy, and the nausea is so intense, not like just feeling a bit sick, it feels like every inch of your body has been poisoned, every cell isjust poisoned. and is it
10:38 am
true that in some cases, it has meant women have terminated their pregnancy? yeah, termination is not particularly common for hyperemesis gravidarum, you could say it is the biggest risk to the foetus at the moment because understandably when women are not able to work, look after their children, and the symptoms are so severe and so intense, it is completely understandable to look for ways out of that and often terminations, they are used rather than active treatments or when treatments have been denied. the research today from scientists in california suggest it is down to two particular genes, we re is down to two particular genes, were you aware if your mother had this? i am the third generation of my family to have it, my aunt, micrometre, they suffered, for the entire pregnancy, they were in and out of hospital —— my grandmother. now they have labelled it, how might
10:39 am
it help women in the future? you can plan ahead. preplanning we suspect it was important anyway, you would not be able to look after other children, i lost ten kilos in weight, preplanning is really important, and i guess to target drugs to specific types of people who carried that genes. how might this new information be used to help women in the future? first of all, i hope it stimulates significantly more research into the area. we need more research into the area. we need more research into the area. we need more research to prove this link that has been found. but i think the way it helps women is quite complex. a lot of women have been searching for years for, why me, why am i suffering? unfortunately, particularly in women's health in general, when we do not know the cause, we do not understand the biology, traditionally, things have been put down to being psychological
10:40 am
and that is very much the case still for women, we run a helpline and women this week have been told by their doctors, maybe you are just anxious, not coping with a normal pa rt of anxious, not coping with a normal part of pregnancy. wow. we know it is not a normal part of pregnancy. the research shows it is a very serious condition. the genes linked with the same things causing a cancer which is a major killer, we cancer which is a major killer, we can appreciate the severity and the true biological cause of this condition which is so important to women suffering with it, to have that validation of what they are experiencing. finally giving some a nswe rs. experiencing. finally giving some answers. potentially, an exciting breakthrough? hopefully in time for this little one, if she ever wanted to face pregnancy and had the genes, hopefully we have time now to get good research in place. how old is she? three this weekend. have you
10:41 am
had another child? i cannot face it yet. i would not be able to be her mum for the whole of my pregnancy and my husband would have to be my ca re and my husband would have to be my care again. gosh. it is quite the thing to recover from. care again. gosh. it is quite the thing to recoverfrom. in care again. gosh. it is quite the thing to recover from. in the treatment is just so poor, it has barely improved since my grandmother suffered, so there are big leaps forward to be made yet and it is so important that the genes have been identified. what is the treatment currently offered ? identified. what is the treatment currently offered? the most effective thing i was given is an anti—sickness drug given to chemotherapy patients to deal with the side—effects of chemo. regular fluids, and at the moment, lots of rest, that is the other thing indicated which is impossible if you have a family and a job. which is most people. which is why you had to give up. how did that make you feel? very depressed. very low. very
10:42 am
anxious. time goes very slowly when you are literally willing away pregnancy, moment by moment, hoping the little one makes it. yeah, it is an awful experience. what do you mean, hoping the little one makes it? you feel like you're dying, it isa it? you feel like you're dying, it is a really commonly reported thing, we literally feel like we are dying, there is no letup in the symptoms at all, and so you do not get to feel those globes —— that glows and the fluffier feelings of pregnancy that people often experience once the horrible morning sickness that lifts, it does not happen with high primitives corridor —— with hyperemesis gravidarum in. thank you for coming on the programme. facebook, talking about them again
10:43 am
this morning, partly because the founder mark zuckerberg has finally apologised for the fact data of 50 million people has been used, harvested by the political consultancy cambridge analytica. it is alleged affair went on to psychologically profile american voters as pa rt psychologically profile american voters as part of trump‘s election campaign —— it is alleged the company went on to psychologically profile american voters. let us have a look at the background. well, like 2 billion of us on the planet i have a facebook page and yesterday i downloaded the data that facebook has on me. it is really straightforward to do it. this is how to do it if you want to do the same. go to your facebook page. you go up to the top right hand side and there isa to the top right hand side and there is a small black arrow. click on
10:44 am
that, then scroll down to settings. then you get your general account settings which have your name and e—mail address and so on and so forth. then you see there is something which this download a copy of your facebook data. then download archive. it is going to ask me for my password so look away for a second! actually, i did do this earlier. thank you. so what happens is, that will take some time now to download. now, i have only been using facebook in a personal capacity for about a year, so there is not that much data on me. what will happen is you then get an e—mail which says here is your data ready to download. the facebook
10:45 am
download is ready, so you click on that. and then it sends you a file. you can print it out. or you can e—mail it to whoever. here is my data. it is not very interesting, i have only been using it in a personal capacity for about a year. it has got when i first registered, january 25 2017. my date of birth, the fact that i am a woman. music, it says bbc radio 4 which is bizarre. it has various pages i like and things i have talked about. for me it happens to be various cancer charities, bafta, goodreads, audible, all the things i am interested in and other pages i have liked. you can get your own data really simply. let‘s talk to our technology reporter zoe kleinman. let‘s talk
10:46 am
about this apology from mark zuckerberg. he put out a statement on facebook where he did not apologise but when he did an interview with cnn he did apologise. he did sort of apologise but there isa he did sort of apologise but there is a real sense that he did not go far enough. after days of silence we we re far enough. after days of silence we were all sitting there is mark zuckerberg going to say anything? this is his baby, he created this. he said, yes, i am happy to take responsibility and i am happy to do something which might make a difference from now on but it is not particularly heartfelt a lot of people have said. let's have a listen to him. he is talking to cnn. if you'd told me in 2004, when i was getting started with facebook, that a big part of my responsibility today would be to help protect the integrity of elections against interference by other governments, i wouldn't have really believed that that was going to be something that i would have to work on 14 years later.
10:47 am
i‘m going to challenge you... but we're here now... i‘m going challenge you. and we're going to make sure that we do a good job. this isn't rocket science. there's a lot of hard work that we need to do to make it harder for nation states like russia to do election interference, to make it so that trolls and other folks can't spread fake news. but we can get in front of this, and we have a responsibility to do this, not only for the 2018 midterms in the us — which are going to be a huge deal this year, and that is a huge focus for us — but there's a big election in india this year, there's a big election in brazil, there are big elections around the world around the world. what is clear is that mark zuckerberg is not accepting that he has done anything wrong. it is rogue apps. it is an interesting choice of words. he is right that when this happened, the way facebook set up,
10:48 am
it was set up so app developers could get access to people‘s data. it is no different to many other social networks and free apps that you have on your phone. if you have a product which you are using for free it means you are the product and your data is valuable. the sense is that people sort of sleepwalked into this, they did not really understand it. what we are seeing now is this moment of enlightenment, doi now is this moment of enlightenment, do i mind this or do i not? thank you. good morning. it has been months since the iraqi prime minister formally declared victory over so—called islamic state in iraq‘s second city of mosul. the battle ca m e iraq‘s second city of mosul. the battle came at a great human and economic cost. the un says it will ta ke economic cost. the un says it will take at least $1 billion to get it up take at least $1 billion to get it up and running again. it is not only the infrastructure which needs rebuilding. the people of mosul are trying to put their lives back together. our bbc reporter travelled
10:49 am
together. our bbc reporter travelled to mosul to meet young men and women who are trying to rebuild their city. after yea rs of is city. after years of is rule, music is backin after years of is rule, music is back in mosul. i mean fled his city when so—called islamic state extremists found out that he was playing the violin at home. now that he is able to return, he tells me that he and other musicians want to rebuild their city the only way they know how. we are planning to build a music academy and build an orchestra. you want to build an orchestra. you want to build an orchestra in mosul right now? yes. but some would say mosul needs water and electricity, it needs rebuilding. it definitely needs peace but does it need music? that is what we need now. that is what humans need now. all of the community, we have a lot of
10:50 am
destruction inside ourselves. we need music therapy. music therapy may heal some wounds, but there is no escaping the devastation here. is may have been defeated, but pockets of the militant groups still exist in and around the city. mosul is on edge. yet there is a will to move on. it is exam week. young men and more crucially women make their way through what is left of the mosul university campus. you would never have seen this when is were in control. like most pupils here, the sisters are three years behind. they have a lot of catching up to do, but they also want to help restore the university library, one of the old est university library, one of the oldest in the region, now burned beyond recognition. translation: we
10:51 am
volunteered with a number of ngos to collect books from all over iraq and the world. we gathered the books and brought them here to the campus. for the future, whether it is my children or anyone who asks me what idid children or anyone who asks me what i did after the city was liberated, i want to be able to say that i am proud of what i did. i volunteered andi proud of what i did. i volunteered and i helped rebuild mosul. during is rule, we felt like we were in a cage and now we are free. there is so cage and now we are free. there is so much to rebuild in iraq‘s second city. the infrastructure. trust between the different religious sects and ethnicities where divisions were exploited by is. and more than anything, the lives shattered by years of violence.
10:52 am
the latest news on bbc news at 11 o‘clock. before that at the end of the programme, we are going to talk about blueberry muffins. some of them contain more than the recommended daily intake of sugar for adults, researchers have discovered. an alliance found the ca kes discovered. an alliance found the cakes could contain up to eight teaspoons of sugar. the recommended daily limit for adults is seven, and for children it is less than that. experts found it was all too easy to consume huge amounts of sugar in our diets. we can introduce you to a registered edition list from action for a sugar. you found at spoons of sugarin for a sugar. you found at spoons of sugar ina for a sugar. you found at spoons of sugar in a mcdonald‘s blueberry muffin. we have not got a great deal of time. —— eight teaspoons. 0k,
10:53 am
muffin. we have not got a great deal of time. —— eight teaspoons. ok, so thatis of time. —— eight teaspoons. ok, so that is in one of these, and often, we choose this because we think it is healthier than an alternative. when families go through different stations, we are focusing on outlets at stations, they can see that product and they say compared with the choice it is probably a better option because it has fruit but actually, there is very the fruit in it and there are excess levels of sugarin it and there are excess levels of sugar in it. that is a lot of sugar in one muffin. that is more than the recommended intake in one day.” imagine parents choose these products for children. some of these products for children. some of these products do not label in that outlets and that is a bigger concern. we had to send some of these products to a lab to assess
10:54 am
them. not these ones but other brands are refusing to provide this information. this is from mcdonald‘s. this is from pret. information. this is from mcdonald's. this is from pret. that is also eight. this one is from m&s. the in—store packaged one has four teaspoons. some manufacturers can make it with much less sugar. surely the rest can? people can still choose these products and they are healthier. they may not taste as nice with less sugar in! if you have your 12—year—old eating that thinking it is vaguely healthy because there are a few blueberries in it, that is not good for their teeth, their skin, their weight? absolutely. and i think we need better labelling so that parents can see this clearly in the outlets
10:55 am
themselves, not online. not everyone will have the time to check these products online. some of them have spreadsheets which are not user friendly to check the nutritional conduct. what about this notion of limiting children‘s snacks to 100 calories? i think it is a good recommendation. parents have asked for advice like that. it is a good rule of thumb. many products will not fit that criteria. without naming a brand, what kind of thing would be 100 calories? probably one biscuit would be 100 calories. one ginger nut? that is it. we should not be in courage and children to have too many snacks in a day anyway. it is a good rule of thumb but again, it is a challenge for the industry to give those options to parents very easily, so when you go to a supermarket, you can see products which are packaged
10:56 am
ina certain can see products which are packaged in a certain way so that is 100 calories for parents to make that choice. what else is 100 calories? what is an apple, for example? and apple would be 60 calories. a yoghurt could be under 100 calories. that will do, that is fine, ijust wa nted that will do, that is fine, ijust wanted some examples! thank you for coming in. tomorrow, we are talking to cate blanchett about her visit to a rohingya refugee camp in bangladesh. thank you for your company. hello, good morning. after yesterday‘s cold and frosty start of the day, this morning has not been as cold at we have not got as much sunshine. we have got a few breaks in the cloud above to give a bit brighter weather and that will
10:57 am
continue across eastern areas during this afternoon. temperatures will be 12 or 13 degrees in the east but further west, the cloud is thicker with rain spreading into northern ireland and scotland. temperatures across these western areas are nine to 11 celsius. through the night this rainwater and quite heavy particularly across wales into northern england. some heavy rain for a time. going northern england. some heavy rain fora time. going into northern england. some heavy rain for a time. going into friday, the rain clears away from many areas. it eases from northern parts. there will be bright and sunny spells before further rain spreads into the south—west later. maximum temperatures are down a little bit. we are looking at ten to 13 degrees. bye— bye. these are the top stories
10:58 am
developing. parliament will stop for a minute‘s silence today on the first anniversary of the westminster bridge attack, in which five people we re bridge attack, in which five people were killed. we would spend all our time together, and now all of this doesn‘t make any sense. time together, and now all of this doesn't make any sense. a sombre day of remembrance here, as people recall the day terrorism came to the heart of westminster. theresa may will tell eu leaders later that moscow has no respect for international law and will call for european unity against russia. anger from some conservative mps as it is reported britain‘s post brexit passport will be manufactured in the eu.
