hello, it's thursday, it's 9 o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire, welcome to the programme exclusive: another foreign aid agency scandal. whistleblowers who worked at one of the biggest and most respected — medecins sans frontieres — have told us that aid staff hired local sex workers while out in africa and one says she was told by a senior colleague it was possible to exchange medication for sex. when i visited a field project, there was a senior member of staff who was bringing girls back to the msf house. obviously, i couldn't know for certain that they were having sexual relationships, but it was implicit that they were. these girls were very young, and they were rumoured to be prostitutes. we'll bring you our full exclusive story in 15 mins. will the doctor who oversaw the prescribing of powerful painkillers at gosport war memorial hospital face criminal charges? that's what some of the families of hundreds of patients who died want now they'll have to bring 15 of the strongest cases into the criminal court because that's where it deserves to go, whether that's my case or not.

they have got to get a conviction for all the rest of the families who also have a genuine case. we'll be speaking to relatives of two of those who died whilst in the hospital's care. and should the use of mobile fone by pupils be banned in schools? the head of schools watchdog ofsted today calls for just that. it follows a similar call from the culture secretary yesterday. what happens in your school? how disruptive are children in school with a mobile, what's your child's school policy — let me know. hello, welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. really interested ot hear your views as a parent on mobile fones in schools. do get in touch on all the stories

we're talking about this morning — use the hashtag victoria live and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today. an investigation for the victoria derbyshire programme has found serious allegations of sexual misconduct against one of the world's biggest foreign aid organisations. former employees of medecins sans frontieres told this programme they had seen women — believed to be prostitutes — being used by aid workers who were working on missions in kenya and two countries in central africa. they also described a culture of endemic sexism in the organisation. msf, also known as doctors without borders, said it was deeply saddened by the allegations and will investigate. so blatant, so blatant, and so widespread. i saw one of my colleagues. he was a much younger guy, and he'd gone into the toilet with a local prostitute.

i knew her to talk to, because she worked in one of the bars. she told me they'd had sex and that he'd paid her. you can see the full film at 9.15. annita is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. theresa may has vowed there will be a ‘smooth and orderly‘ exit from the eu — this after her government's flagship brexit bill cleared its final parliamentary hurdle. she avoided a backbench rebellion with an eleventh hour concession to pro—eu tories. the department for exiting the eu said it marked a "crucial step" in the uk's preparations for brexit. with us now is our assistant political editor norman smith. of course, theresa may has got that summit with other eu leaders next week, how well set is she for that

summit after yesterday? a lot better than she was 2a hours ago when she was facing a possible major defeat. today, she has got her two crucial brexit bills through the commons, the article 50 bill and the withdrawal bill. her party is still kind of intact. there were only six rebels last night and she goes into the summit without a damaging defeat hanging around her neck. but what will most relieve people in downing street is they can now look ahead to future parliamentary battles over the customs bill, the trade bill, new rules for migrants with increased confidence they can get those through. because based on what happened last night, it seems clear that would be tory rebels are very, very reluctant to vote against the government. thank you very much. president donald trump has ordered an end to the separation

of migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. his administration's policy of "zero—tolerance" towards illegal immigration led to thousands of children being detained, away from their parents. but last night he signed an executive order bringing the policy to an end, as our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue reports. this stretch of the rio grande in brownsville, texas, is where many try to enter the united states. every week, some drown in the attempt. those who make it face arrest and prosecution. it's at centres like this that adults and children were being separated, leading to those now notorious images of children apparently housed in cages. the national and international outcry was, in the end, too much even for president trump. but he struck a defiant tone while doing his u—turn. so we are keeping families together, and this will solve that problem. at the same time, we are keeping

a very powerful border and it continues to be a zero tolerance. we have zero tolerance for people that enter our country illegally. thousands of children have been separated from their parents in recent weeks and no—one really knows how long it will take to reunite them. it's going to be a herculean task, if you will, because it's going to require a lot of transparency in finding out exactly where these children were separated from the families and where those parents are. the churches are often at the forefront of immigrant welfare in the rio grande valley and just hours after the stroke of the presidential pen, all denominations gathered in the rain to welcome the change of heart by the administration. the education secretary, damian hinds, has backed calls for universities to tackle so—called "grade inflation".

the think—tank, reform, says the number of first—class degrees being awarded has doubled since 2010. it's warned that degrees risk losing their credibility, but university leaders say a standardised approach is a threat to their independence. families are calling for a criminal investigation, after an inquiry found hundreds of elderly patients were over—prescribed powerful painkillers without medicaljustification. an independent panel said more than a50 patients died prematurely at gosport memorial hospital, and a further 200 could have suffered a similarfate. taxes will rise to pay for increased health spending, that's what the chancellor phillip hammond is expected to say when he delivers his annual mansion house speech later. he'll say the cost of the £20 billion funding package, announced by theresa may, will be met by taxpayers in a "fair and balanced way." jon donnison reports. in the week the prime minister pledged an extra £20 billion of nhs

funding, tonight we'll get some indication of how the government intends to pay for it. and the chancellor, philip hammond, is expected to say that taxes will have to rise as he gives his annual mansion house speech on the state of the uk economy. he is expected to say that any increases will be fair and balanced, to support the nhs we all use. this could put at risk the conservative party's manifesto pledge last year that there was a firm intention to reduce taxes. and in an early draft of the speech released overnight by the treasury, there is no mention of the so—called brexit dividend that theresa may said could be used to pay part of an increased nhs bill. economists have said they dismissed the idea that there will be a dividend from leaving the european union, arguing that cost to the economy outweigh any reduction in payments to the eu. jon donnison, bbc news.

the chief inspector of 0fsted is backing headteachers who ban mobile phones to prevent bad behaviour. in a speech, amanda spielman is expected to blame technology for making "low—level disruption" more common, and endorse tough behaviour policies. her speech comes after the culture secretary matt hancock also called on headteachers to ban phones. making "upskirting" a specific criminal offence will move a step closer today, after it was controversially blocked last week. the prime minister reiterated her support for the bill which could lead to a two year prison sentence for people who take surreptitious photographs under other people's clothing. a previous attempt was scuppered by tory mp sir christopher chope who was concerned about the bill's lack of scrutiny. it will be reintroduced in parliament later. new zealand's prime minister jacinda ardern has given birth to a baby girl. the 37—year—old is the second world leader to have a child while in office —

the first being pakistan's benazir bhutto in 1990. the deputy prime minister, winston peters, is now acting prime minister and will run the country for the next six weeks while ms ardern takes maternity leave comedian pete davidson has confirmed he is engaged to ariana grande, saying he feels like he's won a contest. the couple started dating in may and there was speculation earlier this month they were planning to get married. it's the first time either of the pair have spoken publicly about their engagement — although ariana appeared to confirm the news earlier this month when replying to fans on social media. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. let's get some sport with hugh. not what the england fans want to hear — injury concerns at the world cup. a serious injury at the england camp. but the players are fine. but

the england manager, gareth southgate, well, he had been active in celebrating england's goals. but we may have seen the last of that sort of celebration in russia, because yesterday he dislocated his shoulder while out running on england's day off. he will have to ta ke england's day off. he will have to take care when the players get back to training later. they did use some of the down time to visit st petersburg and the museum of art and culture before the preparations for that game with panama on sunday start. but they have a lot of support, as we have seen. now the former england captain, david beckham can be added to the list of fans. he was asked who he thinks can make it through to the world cup itself. that is a very difficult question! the top two would be argentina and... england! so there

you have it. no pressure. we will be live with the england camp in the next hour. the players are going to emerge $0011. next hour. the players are going to emerge soon. we have heard there is a real injury concern, dele alli won't be taking part in training. he has a thigh problem. talk us through the action yesterday. on the field yesterday it was no at classic day forfans. three yesterday it was no at classic day for fans. three games, yesterday it was no at classic day forfans. three games, three wins forfans. three games, three wins for the favourite, but some underwhening performances from the —— underwhelming performances from the big guns. ronaldo scored the only goal to knock morocco out of the tournament and he is leading the way in the golden boot stakes. he has become the highest scoring european in men's international football. you would have to give ronaldo a pat on the back for that.

but i don't know if you do the same for his team mate pepe. too much effort. the slightest touch throwing him to the ground. let's hope he makes it through for his reaction. iran's goalkeeper did something similar. didn't seem to make any contact. but there you go, hopping mad! threw the ball out and went straight down the ground. the most bizarre incident came with iran searching for a winner against spain and they had a throw in in the final moments. but it didn't go quite to plan. he decided he would just do something normal in the end. there was a win for uruguay yesterday not a classic performance from them either. we hope argentina and france who play today can provide more entertainment. those incidents are

so entertainment. those incidents are so embarrassing, it is like we don't know they're seeing them. more records being broken in the cricket and two in one day? yes twice in one day, a day after england's men broke the one—day international world record for the highest score, england's women made history of their own at taunton, tammy beaumont hit a 47—ball century and that helped england to a new record total of 250. they passed the t20 record of 250. they passed the t20 record of 216 set by new zealand yesterday as well earlier on in the day. south africa only managed 129 in reply and so africa only managed 129 in reply and so england win by 121 are ups. that is all the sport for now. more later. thank you. our exclusive story today — aid workers at one of the world's biggest and most respected foreign aid organisation have been

accused by whistleblowers of sexual misconduct. we spoke to eight former employees of medecins sans frontiers, they told this programme that aid workers who were working on missions in kenya and other african countries had used local prostitutes. 0ne whistleblower said a senior member of staff said it was possible to barter sex for medication with girls whose parents had died of ebola. they also described a culture of endemic sexism in the organisation. msf, which translates as doctors without borders, is a charity that sends medical teams into conflict zones, natural disasters and epidemics to save lives. the accusations you're about to hear more on are against logistical staff and not doctors or nurses. msf says it does not tolerate "abuse, harassment or exploitation". the use of prostitutes is banned by msf under its strict code of conduct. 0ur reporter anna adams has the exclusive story. medecins sans frontieres is one

of the biggest foreign aid agencies in the world. it brings vital medical supplies and clinicians to incredibly dangerous countries. but we've spoken to people who say some aid workers abused their power in the field and exploited vulnerable women. there was a transactional nature to the relationships. it could have been that there was an exchange of money for sexual behaviour. he said, "oh, it's so easy to barter medication with these easy girls in liberia". and i thought, "what did he just say?" there was definitely an element of an abuse of power going on. we've spent months talking to women who used to work at medecins sans frontieres and they've all told us very similar stories. we've heard accounts of endemic

bullying, misogyny and sexism inside the organisation, and in some cases even the use of prostitutes in the field. the other thing they all had in common was an absolute fear about speaking out. the women we spoke to were terrified of being blacklisted. they said there was a huge crossover of staff and foreign aid agencies, and their life could become very difficult if they spoke to us. they were also worried about the safety of their colleagues out in the field. so for this reason, they've been filmed anonymously. msf is also known as doctors without borders. it has thousands of medics working overseas. but this investigation is not about the doctors or nurses. we are told it was some of the logistical staff who were abusing their power. we met a whistle—blower in london. she told us what she saw when she was on a mission in kenya. so when i visited a field project, there was a senior member of staff who was bringing girls back to the msf house.

obviously, i couldn't know for certain that they were having sexual relationships, but it was implicit that they were. these girls were very young, and they were rumoured to be prostitutes. the security in nairobi is quite high, so i rememberthinking, wasn't this a risk to my security when people were staying overnight? and did anyone challenge the men? it was difficult for people to challenge him, because he was quite senior. we met another whistle—blower in europe. she asked us not to name the city. she told us a senior member of staff had said it was possible to barter sex for medication with women who were getting medical aid. he said, "oh, it's so easy". he said it as if it was nothing. "it's so easy to barter medication with these easy girls in liberia". and i thought, "what did hejust say?" he was suggesting that lots of the young girls who'd lost their parents to the ebola crisis,

that they would do anything sexual in exchange for medication. so when you heard your boss use the phrase "barter medication with girls", what did you think he meant by that? sex in exchange for medication. and had he been there himself? yes, he had. in fact, he bragged about it quite a lot. to say it in front of three or four people who were there and to say it to me very directly, what's this all about? it was impossible for us to verify this claim because the whistle—blower was not in liberia at the time. when we put this to msf, they said they needed more information to investigate. another former employee who worked with hiv patients in central africa said the use of local sex workers was widespread. there was this older colleague who actually moved a woman into the compound. he was in his fifties. she was a lot, lot younger. it was pretty obvious

that she was a prostitute, but he called her his girlfriend. she would spend night after night with him, and he even installed a piece of tarpaulin to give her some privacy if someone walked into the room. it was so blatant, so blatant and so widespread. i saw one of my colleagues. he was a much younger guy, and he'd gone into the toilet with a local prostitute. i knew her to talk to because she worked in one of the bars. she told me they'd had sex, and that he'd paid her. she also said she felt sexually harassed by some of the men she worked with. then there was this other colleague of mine. he asked me out and i said no. and from that point forth, the atmosphere in the compound was toxic. he made my life miserable. he also brought prostitutes

back in front of me. the worst bit came when i left for a few weeks, came back to my room and found used condoms that he'd told people he had deliberately left behind. i felt sick. she said she reported his behaviour to her boss in the field, but she was told she would be fired if the pair of them didn't sort things out. medecins sans frontieres has very strict rules about the abuse of power, especially when staff are working overseas. but we're told the reality can be very different out in the field. i felt that with some of the older guys, there was definitely an abuse of power. they'd been there for a long time, took advantage of their exalted status as a western aid worker. it was definitely a lifestyle for them and you couldn't help feeling that they liked it because they had the opportunity

to have relationships with women that they wouldn't have been able to have in their own country. it could have been that senior management wasn't aware of it, but there's definitely a feeling that certain men who behave in that predatory manner are seen as too big to fail. but it isn'tjust in the field where women say they felt uncomfortable. we had a skype meeting with a partner at another ngo who was sitting on her bed, and they both kept telling her how sexy she was and saying "0h, you look so fantastic", asking her where her husband was, how much weight she'd lost. she was really embarrassed and tried to move on, but they persisted with this for about 15 minutes. and i was just thinking, "when is this going to end?" another time, i was discussing a medical procedure done in an african country where the whole question of a woman's reproductive organs came up, and it was written in french. i said "we're referring to the vagina". "0oh, what is this?" so i said, "really? you can't be serious".

so i said it in french, and hejust rubbed his hands and said, "0oh, how exciting". and i thought, "ok, i'm apparently back at school and dealing with schoolboys". did you get a sense that this kind of harassment, as you call it, had been going on for a while? i think it's endemic, and it's part of the institution. we spoke to eight separate sources in our investigation. the accounts you've heard so far are in no way isolated at all. we've heard from other women inside msf who described the culture there as toxic. one of our sources who worked in the amsterdam office was told that she was going to work in the department of the walking wombs. she said that was how her boss described the women who were about to go on maternity leave. she said she raised this with her line manager, but nothing was done and if anyone did complain about their behaviour, they were called the broken dolls. another source, again in the amsterdam office, was asked on her very first day at work whether she fancied her boss.

she said he then went on to comment about the size of her breasts. she did raise this with hr, but she said not much was done about it. she also said the atmosphere in the field was no different to the office. she was sent on missions to africa and asia and then finally, she quit. msf told us they were sorry if any cases of harassment had not been dealt with properly, and they said they need to do more to improve the reporting system and make people feel safe enough to come forward. but this isn't the first time msf have heard complaints like this. after the 0xfam scandal broke, they admitted they had sacked 19 staff for sexual harassment last year alone. and we've also seen an internal report that shows they were looking at this issue back in 2016. the report showed a third of female employees they had spoken to said they had been touched inappropriately at work. the whistle—blower in london thinks the culture is entrenched.

i saw a lot of people trying to cope with stress and the psychological trauma of some of the things they'd witnessed. there was a lot of drinking. there can be a certain type of person that works for msf. they start off going into humanitarian work for the right reasons, but when they've done mission after mission, there comes a mission creep. and after a while, you would find that they would stop behaving in a way that you would expect a genuine humanitarian to behave. msf said they had conducted a thorough review of their files and made informal enquires, but they couldn't find any records of claims against the london office. they said they were saddened to hear the allegations, but they hoped that it might encourage more people to come forward. and you can read more about anna adams‘ exlcuisve investigation on the bbc news site.

it has been one of the most read articles all morning. judd says i made a cash donation to msf yesterday and i now feel deflated. whitney says your coverage is deeply irresponsible. it goes beyond the pale. to characterise the organisation as toxic based on a few individuals while msf employs thousands of individuals worldwide is totally inaccurate. you will lead toa is totally inaccurate. you will lead to a loss of donations, loss of resources and loss of life. you have targeted the most respected humanitarian organisation in the industry. for every disgruntled and accusation rate employee, i have no doubt you will find hundreds of counter opinions as this has been my

experience. this person says i have stopped giving to national charities. i only give to small local charities like oui’ give to small local charities like our local hospice. i have been a project coordinator for msf and worked on projects in half a dozen nations. msf is an organisation which enjoys a deserved reputation of fulfilling its humanitarian mandate. we will talk more about that investigation later on in the programme. your experiences are welcome. especially if you welcome for —— especially if you work for an international aid organisation or you have done in the past. us president donald trump has completely changed his mind on his policy of separating migrant children from their parents on the us mexcio border. he bowed to public pressure and signed an executive order promising to "keep families together" in migrant detention camps. mr trump reversed his own policy amid international fury over the separation of undocumented parents and children. it was these images of children detained behind wire mesh

in what looked like cages, released by the us government, that helped fuel a growing outcry at the treatment of illegal immigrant families. children crying. the list of people and organisations opposed to the policy included senior republicans, all four living former first ladies, the pope, the united nations, and most americans, according to the polls.

on monday, current us first lady melania trump tweeted through a spokeswoman that she "hates" to see children separated from their families. and that she believed "we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also governs with heart". the pressure came in many other forms. here‘s the president being heckled by some of his political rivals — democrats. quit separating the kids! mr president, don‘t you have kids? these grainy images are of protestors confronting mr trump‘s homeland security secretary, as she ate dinner at a mexican restau ra nt. 10,000 children separated from their parents. how can you eat a mexican meal? tens of thousands of people

come here seeking asylum in the united states. we call on you to end separation! end separation! and msnbc presenter rachel maddow choked up on air as she reported on migrant babies and toddlers being sent to what was described as "tender age" shelters. trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children... to at least three... can we put up the graphic of this? thank you, do we have it? no. three tender age shelters in texas. lawyers and medical providers... i think i am going to have to hand this off. but now president trump has had a change of heart signing an executive order

to reverse his own policy — he says he‘s still determined to protect america‘s borders from illegal immigration. we are going to keep the families together. i didn't like the sight or the feeling of separating families. it isa the feeling of separating families. it is a problem that has gone on for many administrations. we are working very ha rd many administrations. we are working very hard on illegal immigration. people haven't dealt with it and we are. step by step, just like we dealt with north korea, we dealt with iran... now the process of reuniting hundreds, if not thousands, of parents and their children will begin, though no—one knows how long it will take. families will now be kept together — but the order doesn‘t address families already separated by the policy. and another problem for the white house is this: there are still limits on how long — typically 20 days — the authorities can keep children in detention, even if they are with their parents. that‘s why the administration is also going to court to try to get

those time limits lifted. still to come: we‘ll talk to two relatives of some of the patients who died in gosport war memorial hospital — who are calling for the doctor at the centre of the scandal to face criminal charges should mobile phones be banned in schools? we‘ll talk to a headteacher for his reaction after the chief inspector of 0fsted is backing schools to implement the policy. chris said, schools should be capitalising on the availability of smartphones by integrating their use in lessons as research tools and digital note—making. digital media suspect going away. a ban now will have to be reversed in the future and the schools that ban them will be behind other schools that have embraced and utilised mobiles in the classroom. banning is not the answer. abbey said my daughter‘s

school uses mobile phones for schoolwork and google scloom. she using it for research and to write notes to help her remember her music lessons. she texted me to bring in some homework i forget. mobile phones are an essential part of modern life. we cannot turn back time. but we can ask them to turn them off or turn on silent. we will talk more about this later on. because as you may know, the culture secretary yesterday suggested that schools should confiscate mobile phones at the beginning of the day and hand them back at the end. if you are meant to be revising for your gcse or a levels and you happen to be watching, let me know what your school‘s policy is. time for the latest news — here‘s annita. the bbc news headlines this morning.

a investigation for the victoria derbyshire programme has found serious allegations of sexual misconduct against foreign aid organisation medecins sans frontiers. former employees said they had seen women — believed to be prostitutes — being used by aid workers, who were working on missions in kenya and two countries in central africa. they also described a culture of endemic sexism in the organisation. msf said it was deeply saddened by the allegations and will investigate. theresa may has vowed there will be a ‘smooth and orderly‘ exit from the eu — this after her government‘s flagship brexit bill cleared its final parliamentary hurdle. she avoided a backbench rebellion with an eleventh hour concession to pro—eu tories. the "department for exiting the eu" said it marked a "crucial step" in the uk‘s preparations for brexit. the us president donald trump has ordered an end to the separation of migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. his administration‘s policy of zero tolerance towards illegal immigration led to thousands of children being detained without their parents,

but last night he signed an executive order bringing the policy to an end. president trump has insisted his administration will retain its tough stance on illegal immigration. if you‘re weak, which some people would like you to be, if you‘re really, really pathetically weak, the country‘s going to be overrun with millions of people. and if you‘re strong, then you don‘t have any heart. that‘s a tough dilemma. perhaps i‘d rather be strong, but that‘s a tough dilemma. the education secretary, damian hinds, has backed calls for universities to tackle so—called "grade inflation". the think—tank, reform, says the number of first—class degrees being awarded has doubled since 2010. it‘s warned that degrees risk losing their credibility, but university leaders say a standardised approach is a threat to their independence. families are calling for a criminal investigation, after an inquiry found hundreds of elderly patients

were over—prescribed powerful painkillers without medicaljustification. an independent panel said more than a50 patients died prematurely at gosport memorial hospital, and a further 200 could have suffered a similarfate. taxes will have to rise to pay for increased health spending, that‘s what the chancellor phillip hammon is expected to say when he delivers his annual mansion house speech later. he‘ll say the cost of the £20 billion funding package announced by theresa may, will be met by taxpayers in a "fair and balanced way". in an early draft of the speech there is no mention of the "brexit dividend" which the prime minister said could be used to cover part of the bill. that‘s a summary of the latest bbc news. here‘s some sport now with hugh. say goodbye to gareth southgate‘s fist—pumping celebrations at the world cup — the england manager managed to dislocate his shoulder while out running on the squad‘s day off yesterday. there is another injury headache for southgate though. dele alli will not be involved in training today as he rests

a thigh problem with the aim of featuring against panama on sunday. 0n the pitch yesterday, cristiano ronaldo earned another accolade — his goal in the win over morocco was his 85th international goal. no man has scored more for a european nation. and the highest score in a women‘s t20 international was broken twice yesterday. new zealand made 216 before 230 from england in the win over south africa in their tri series opener. that‘s all the sport for now. relatives of the more than a50 people whose lives were shortened by the inappropriate use of powerful pain killers at gosport war memorial hospital are calling for a doctor who presided over the regime to face criminal charges. a report has found there was an "institutionalised regime" of giving "dangerous doses‘ of painkillers that weren‘t needed.

some families, suspicious about why their loved ones died suddenly at the hospital, have been fighting for decades to find out what happened. the damning report, released yesterday, concluded there was a disregard for human life and a culture of shortening the lives of a large number of patients. when the relatives complained about the safety of patients and the appropriateness of their care, they were consistently let down by those in authority. the prime minister, theresa may, apologised for the length of time it‘s taken. let‘s talk to mike hobday, whose dad alan died at the hospital in 1998. he found out yesterday that the drugs his father was given at the hospital had shortened his life. and bridget reeves, whose family have been fighting to find out why her grandmother elsie died at gosport war memorial hospital in 1999. yesterday they had it confirmed that the painkillers she had been given had shortened her life.

mike, i wonder if i could begin with you, your father went into mike, i wonder if i could begin with you, yourfather went into hospital after a stroke and you‘d thought he had died in hospital as a consequence of having that streak. —— stroke. how do you react to what you know now? i feelvery —— stroke. how do you react to what you know now? i feel very shocked, very shocked, very upset. we have a lwa ys very shocked, very upset. we have always had suspicions that something wasn‘t quite right and when the rochester inquiry was started, we knew then that something wasn‘t right. he was one of the 90 in that inquiry. but of course like many other inquiries and it was shelved and shoved under the carpet basically. so you had suspicions eventually, i wonder what the impact is on you and the rest of the family

of carrying those suspicions over the years, going through inquiry after inquiry, police investigation after inquiry, police investigation after police investigation, but never actually knowing. it seemed that you were perhaps wrong, that perhaps you had read it wrong, perhaps you had read it wrong, perhaps you had read it wrong, perhaps you got it you know, at times you thought maybe that didn‘t actually happen and he just died of natural causes. now we know he didn‘t. that is quite shocking really. can you tell us about your grandmother and why she went into hospital. my grandmother was admitted to the queen alexander hospital for a udi and treated with antibiotics and fluids and she was discharged. but at that time my father was undergoing a bone marrow transplant in hammersmith hospital and she lived with us all in the family home. we didn't think it would be appropriate for her to return home to an empty house while

we we re return home to an empty house while we were with my dad. so the qa recommended gosport, because the wards there were specific for respite and rehabilitation. so we knew my gran would be there for six weeks, just receiving as we understood it, general care. she was very able. she got up every morning, dressed herself, washed herself and she used to do things around the house for us all and still cooked meals. so she was very well bodied and of good mind. when did you realise that... something was going wrong? we had a telephone call from my uncle. it was on friday 19th november in 1999. just saying that he had received a call from the hospital to say that my gran was terminaland hospital to say that my gran was terminal and had 36 hours to live. which came as a huge shock to us. we had just seen her the week before. we would travel from london and

visit with her. we knew she wasn't happy there. she wrote cards and letters sa said, the main thing is dad gets better and we look after ourselves. she had a filtration issue of the kidneys. it was an ongoing problem and she had puffy legs and took drugs for that. we knew she would eventually die of that if she had not got anything else. but it is slow. so we were shocked that all of a sudden we were told she was terminal. we travelled from london, but by the time she got there, she was already clinically dead. when she returned to ed to hammersmith, they thought it was extraordinary. they said go and have a look at the medical file. when we had dad home and we had christmas and come to terms more with grasp's

passing —— gran's passing, we went to the hospital and saw she had administered fentanyl and diamorphine and some of the drugs we we re aware diamorphine and some of the drugs we were aware of, because my father was oi'i were aware of, because my father was on them for the severe pain he was in his transplant. we knew fentanyl because it was only licensed then for chronic pain due to cancer. we thought why is gran being given this? she had no sign of pain in her medical file and external doctor had seen her the dane jane barton prescribed the fenta nyl. seen her the dane jane barton prescribed the fentanyl. that is the doctor presided over the regime? yes. she had prescribed this after an external doctor who was a psychiatrist had visited with my grandmother and had reported psychiatrist had visited with my grandmotherand had reported in her medical notes that she was happy, no complaints, said tablets make her mouth sore. she is waiting

complaints, said tablets make her mouth sore. she is wait ing for her daughter. when we read that, which we only saw in 2008 as we prepared for the inquest. that page was missing? you didn't know an effectest ex—tenters doctor had said she was —— external doctor had said she was —— external doctor had said she was —— external doctor had said she was happy. just that they had administered these drugs. we went down what we thought was the right route and had an independent review, that took 16 months. when we received that report, we realised the brutality of the way my grandmother had died and outlined the fact she had got up on 19th, which was because she had equivalent of 135 grammes of more phone. morphine. she was aggressive and she

threw nurses up against a wall allegedly. so they pinned her to the floor and injected her with a very strong anti— psychotic floor and injected her with a very strong anti—psychotic drug and put the syringe driver in her back. it is like a pump. of the 50 mill grammes of diamorphine and they walked her and this was in the report, they walked her until she was done in and laid her in the bed and then they called the family. that was 23 hours after they started that, what i can only call... i don't think i could say it on television. torture. oh my gosh! that has kept us going for 20 years. we have been through... as you have saw from yesterday's news releases, we have been through hell and back and with we haven't been afforded the funding orany and with we haven't been afforded the funding or any legal representation through the course of this. we have just today started to

ago this. we have just today started to a go fund me page for the victims to try and get some money behind us to get the representation we need. let me ask michael what you would like to see you what happens next? cani like to see you what happens next? can i first of all say thank you to bridget for her hard work. because i don‘t think without her and julian we would be sitting talking about it. so thank you, bridget for your ha rd it. so thank you, bridget for your hard work, i really appreciate it and so do a00 other families. hard work, i really appreciate it and so do a00 otherfamilies. i would like to see criminaljustice done. the people there were administration drugs that people did not need and shortened their lives. that really amounts to manslaughter. justice needs to be done. an enquiry

needs to be next, a criminal enquiry. another police constabulary, not hampshire, needs to be looking into it and seeing what charges can be brought. and what charges can be brought. and what about you, bridget, what would you like to see happen now?|j what about you, bridget, what would you like to see happen now? i think now the government, we have a meeting in october, we are told the government will consider what the findings are in the report but absolutely, we cannot wait any longer. we have lost relatives already over the course of these 20th, there has also been in wilson who stood beside us at the inquest in 2009, has now passed. my mother has been at the forefront with julian mckenzie. they are in their 70s and 80s now. let‘s have no more delay —— gillian mckenzie. we want to hear all your concerns have been

at cheated and this needs to go into at cheated and this needs to go into a criminal court —— substantiated. and you mean criminal charges brought against doctor jane and you mean criminal charges brought against doctorjane barton and others? and the nurses. and in terms of other findings, corporate manslaughter, this has been covered up manslaughter, this has been covered up by manslaughter, this has been covered up by the ceo of the trust makes millet in 2000 right the way through. all these people need to be named and they need to be held accountable. thank you for talking to us. mike hobday, thank you for your time. we will continue to follow what happens next. thank you. coming up... they‘ve been refused entry in the past and even punished for attending games — but iranian female football fans still turned up to watch their country play against spain last night. 02 has been forced to change its practice on the way it sends out some of its post after this programme found that racist hate mail had been sent out by the phone company.

two letters, one addressed to "mr isis terroriste" and one to "mr getout 0fengland" were received by a british muslim family in london. the family that got the post came to our reporter catrin nye to expose what had happened — shejoins me now. catrin remind us what happened here? it was a month ago we first reported this. these are the letters. inside are 02 sim cards. these have been ordered online by a member of the public and where there should be names, instead you have got these racist messages. can we show these to the camera? hopefully coming you can see these here. instead of names you have got mr isis terroriste, and one which says mr getout 0fengland. you can see they are slightly misspelt. this one has got the words

joined together, presumably to avoid some sort of computer detection. these were sent to a british iraqi family in london who were obviously very distressed to receive them. they do not know who sent them. we spoke to a family friend about what it was like to get these in the post. what have 02 now said? basically we found out that the post system which sends these out is managed by a third—party company. we later found out that was a company called william lee tag. they manage their sim card postage. what they have done now as a result of our story, they have changed there. you now cannot put a personalised name on the envelopes. you cannot put

these messages or anyone‘s name in fa ct. these messages or anyone‘s name in fact. every mail out will say 02 customer and nothing else. they added they are very saddened that their system had been used to send out this kind of mail. how have the family reacted ? out this kind of mail. how have the family reacted? the family have reported this as a hate crime to the police. the company have —— they have given a statement. they say they are happy that 02 have changed their policies but they have also said they feel unsure about how to direct this dismay at this situation because there is nothing that can remedy the feeling of being made to feel unwelcome in your home, especially when someone has direct means of communication. thank you. iran suffered a narrow 1—0 defeat to spain in their latest world cup match in russia last night. but one of the main talking points wasn‘t so much the actual football, but the fact that there were women supporters in the stands. in iran, although there‘s no official ban on women going to sporting events, attendances are rare

as they‘re often refused entry and are sometimes even punished. 0ur reporter, ashleyjohn—baptiste, went to meet some of the female fans who travelled to russia. these women are from iran and they‘re about to do something that they‘re forbidden from doing back home — that‘s go inside a stadium to watch some football. iranian women are not allowed into stadiums, but here in russia we can go to the stadium. parminder and her boyfriend hossain are both iranian and have come to russia to watch iran play in the world cup. they‘ve invited us to follow them as they get ready for a match. it‘s great. it‘s my first time seeing my national team. it‘s an amazing feeling — i can‘t describe it. did you ever try to watch a football match in a stadium back home in iran? no, i actually didn‘t, but i know a lot of my friends did. one of my friends actually went in front of the stadium and tried to go in dressing up as a man, and one of the guards noticed, and he was, like, "oh,

my god, you are a woman, you can‘t be here," and they threw her out of the stadium. asa as a young child at school she saw the first signs of gender inequality. when i was at school they separated us. i realised there was a map of boys and girls playing with each other. i felt that in itself was the start of separating boys and girls as in, you are not the same, you are different, there is no equality here. we had to wear the hijab in school since grade one.

that was very restrictive. and even when we were playing sport we had to wear the veil. and obviously, that was not nice, because the weather in iran in the summer, it gets really, really hot. girls are very restricted. when did you realise, "i love football"? basically when i met my boyfriend. he taught me what defence is, what an offside is, what everything is, what a free kick is. i had no idea. so when i went to watch matches with him, iwas, like, "oh, my god, this is actually really fun". is there any part of you that thinks to yourself, "i wish i could do this back home in iran?" definitely, i wish i could. i hope iran one day hosts the world cup. one day. and that you could go? exactly, yeah. you are going to be in that stadium with thousands of iranians, men and women. yes.

how do you feel about that? it feels great that finally i can be with my family, with my boyfriend, with my friends, all there cheering the same team, our team. i feel that finally i have the right to support my own team and i hope one day in my country i can support my team as well. just hearing the voices of men and women in my country, it is just great to see that we can all support one team together. it is something everyone and has to experience in her life and has to experience in her life and it is very unfair that they don‘t let us in. for example, i see in iran when there are football matches, women go to the stadiums and they did let them in. they protest outside the stadium is. you can see the police who are trying to push them away but the women are so

strong in my country that one day we will have the right to go inside. thousands of fans from iran have gathered outside the kazan stadium, ready to see the national team play. there is high energy. people are excited. i‘ve spoken to dozens of women who come from iran and they are ecstatic, absolutely delighted to be able to go into a stadium for the first time ever and make some noise for their team. the match has just finished and although iran lost, the celebrations amongst the iranian fans haven‘t died down. it was amazing. i think i was screaming more than the men sometimes, and i didn‘t really see any difference between men and women. everyone was cheering at the same time, together as one voice. we have quite a lot of comments from

you about mobile phones and the use of them. this is because the head of 0fsted has suggested today that the use of them should be banned in schools. andrew said, how on earth did this become an issue? if a pupil opened up a dvd player or started tuning upa opened up a dvd player or started tuning up a radio at their desk in the past those items would be immediately removed. it is not a revelation that phones in class are distracting. time to stop pandering to children and regain control of the classroom. this dexter says mobiles should never be allowed in schools from the start. my grandson goes to a school where they use a mobile phone in maths lessons using the calculator. if one child has not got one they pairup. how bad if one child has not got one they pair up. how bad is that? 11a—year—old boy says i think

schools should ban phones entirely. there is a lot of peer pressure and there is the whole discussion about who has the latest phone etc. what kind of people we raising to be the next generation in the uk —— the pa rent of next generation in the uk —— the parent of a 1a—year—old boy commented. we will speak to one pa rent commented. we will speak to one parent who disagrees with the head of 0fsted. but before that, all the weather with. hello. hello, victoria you may have noticed it was a bit fresher this morning compared with the last couple of mornings but that did not stop the weather watch is getting out and about to capture the sunrise. today is the summer solstice —— weather watchers. if you are in the shetland isles today you will get 19 hours of daylight, even towards the south of the uk in cornwall you will get 16 hours of daylight. and we have plenty of sunshine to go with the

summer solstice. this is the scene in cheshire. some fluffy humourless cloud in the sky. that is the scene for many of us. lots of blue skies and sunshine. 0ne for many of us. lots of blue skies and sunshine. one or two showers affecting the far north of scotland. it is windy in the far north—east of scotland. the wind is coming in from the north—west. it feels fresher than recent days, even towards southern and western areas. temperatures down a little bit. through this evening and overnight, the winds will gradually ease away. showers easing as well. with clear skies overnight tonight it will turn quite chilly into friday morning. temperatures for many of us into single figures. a bit of a chilly start on friday. lots of sunshine. for much of england and wales, there will be blue skies from dawn till

dusk. a bit of cloud affecting scotland. temperatures up by a degree or so on friday, 17 to 22 degrees. as we go into the weekend, we have this monster area of high pressure. that is anchoring itself above us. that means it will be settled, much lighter winds into the weekend. more sunshine to come and that means temperatures will slowly rise. for the weekend, that means temperatures will slowly rise. forthe weekend, dry for that means temperatures will slowly rise. for the weekend, dry for most. there could be some rain affecting the far north of scotland. funny for many of us and it will warm up. by sunday temperatures widely into the 20s, up to the high 20s across southern areas and into next week we keep this area of high pressure. more sunshine to come, temperatures continuing to rise. up to the mid—20s and high 20s for of us. it could well approach 30 or 31 degrees across southern parts. bye—bye.

hello it‘s thursday, it‘s 10 o‘clock, i‘m victoria derbyshire. our exclusive story today — eight whistle—blowers claim some aid workers with medecins sans frontiers sex with young girls, hired local sex workers and one claims a senior colleague said it was possible to exchange medication for sex. so blatant, so blatant, and so widespread. i saw one of my colleagues. he was a much younger guy, and he‘d gone into the toilet with a local prostitute. i knew her to talk to, because she worked in one of the bars. she told me they‘d had sex and that he‘d paid her. this from michlle on facebook: those people who are really doing good, are being severely tarnished because of the actions of these lowlifes. being an international aid worker is quite useful to get women into bed with you. will the doctor who oversaw the prescribing of powerful painkillers at gosport war memorial hospital face criminal charges? that‘s what some of the families of hundreds of patients

who died want now. let‘s have no more delay, let them stand up and say, we were wrong, we didn‘t support you, we now all of your concerns have been substantiated and these needs to go into a substantiated and these needs to go intoa criminal substantiated and these needs to go into a criminal court and it needs to happen fast. and should the use of mobile phones by pupils be banned in schools? the head of schools watchdog 0fsted today calls for just that. craig is a teacherfrom london and he‘s not impressed: the head of 0fsted has never taught a day in her life— she has no teaching qualifications and has no understanding of the classroom. as a teacher, i allow students to use their phone it can be really useful to aid teaching, set homework, and complete activities. if they misuse the phone i take it off them. let us know your views good morning. here‘s annita in the bbc newsroom with a summary of today‘s news.

an investigation for the victoria derbyshire programme has found serious allegations of sexual misconduct against foreign aid organisation medecins sans frontiers. former employees said they had seen women — believed to be prostitutes — being used by aid workers, who were working on missions in kenya and two countries in central africa. they also described a culture of endemic sexism in the organisation. msf said it was deeply saddened by the allegations and will investigate. theresa may has vowed there will be a ‘smooth and orderly‘ exit from the eu — this after her government‘s flagship brexit bill cleared its final parliamentary hurdle. she avoided a backbench rebellion with an eleventh hour concession to pro—eu tories. the "department for exiting the eu" said it marked a "crucial step" in the uk‘s preparations for brexit. the us president donald trump has ordered an end to the separation of migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. his administration‘s policy of zero tolerance towards illegal immigration led to thousands

of children being detained without their parents, but last night he signed an executive order bringing the policy to an end. president trump has insisted his administration will retain its tough stance on illegal immigration. if you‘re weak, which some people would like you to be, if you‘re really, really pathetically weak, the country‘s going to be overrun with millions of people. and if you‘re strong, then you don‘t have any heart. that‘s a tough dilemma. perhaps i‘d rather be strong, but that‘s a tough dilemma. the education secretary, damian hinds, has backed calls for universities to tackle so—called "grade inflation". the think—tank, reform, says the number of first—class degrees being awarded has doubled since 2010. it‘s warned that degrees risk losing their credibility, but university leaders say a standardised approach is a threat to their independence. families are calling for a criminal investigation, after an inquiry found hundreds of elderly patients were over—prescribed

powerful painkillers without medicaljustification. an independent panel said more than a50 patients died prematurely at gosport memorial hospital, and a further 200 could have suffered a similarfate. one of the relatives affected, has told this programme there needs to be urgent action. have no more delay, let them stand up have no more delay, let them stand up and say, we were wrong, have no more delay, let them stand up and say, we were wrong, we have no more delay, let them stand up and say, we were wrong, we didn‘t support you, we now all of your concerns have been substantiated and this needs to go into a criminal court and it needs to happen fast. taxes will have to rise to pay for increased health spending, that‘s what the chancellor phillip hammon is expected to say when he delivers his annual mansion house speech later. he‘ll say the cost of the £20 billion funding package announced by theresa may, will be met by taxpayers in a "fair and balanced way". in an early draft of the speech there is no mention of the "brexit dividend" which the prime minister said could be used to

cover part of the bill. new zealand‘s prime minister jacinda ardern has given birth to a baby girl. the 37—year—old is the second world leader to have a child while in office — the first being pakistan‘s benazir bhutto in 1990. the deputy prime minister, winston peters, is now acting prime minister and will run the country for the next six weeks while ms ardern takes maternity leave that‘s a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 10.30. hugh has the latest sport. england players have started their preparations as they look ahead to their match at the world cup with panama. let‘s go to straight england‘s base and join our correspondent. they had a day off, but not everyone‘s feeling fresher? welcome to the stadium where england are training as we speak. if we wind

back 24 hour, they and the staff we re back 24 hour, they and the staff were given their only entire day off of the world cup campaign. and that meant that the players could go and see their families in st petersburg. some came to the team hotel and some we nt some came to the team hotel and some went to the famous art galleries and soaked up some culture and saw the sights, posed for photographs. they looked very relaxed. that is in keeping with the mood around the camp. and there were photographs that emerged of some of the players riding inflatable unicorns in the swimming pool! it was not so relaxed for gareth southgate. he went for a run in the woods, but he took a tumble and dislocated his shoulder. fortunately the team doctor was in tow and managed to pick the manager up tow and managed to pick the manager up and get him back to the hotel. an ambulance took him to a private

hospital and they popped the shoulder back in and put him in a sling for the rest of the day. he addressed his team and apologised for ruining the days off of some of the staff. he said it was lucky it wasn't any of his squad who were injured. well there are a lot concerns four gareth southgate. how is he looking? gareth southgate top injury concern, he is looking 0k. he is not wearing the sling today. he has been keeping his right hand in his pocket. that is the side that was affected. in terms of players, there are 22 training today. the missing player dele alli, who is suffering from a minor thigh strain that he picked up against tunisia. he went for a scan and that is what was diagnosed. he is at the hotel

and the rest of the players are training. they train today and tomorrow, behind closed door tomorrow. before flying out on sunday and then sunday it is the match day. if england win, they're oi'i match day. if england win, they're on the verge of qualifying for the la st on the verge of qualifying for the last 16. it depends what happens in the belgium/tunisia game on saturday and then england will know what they have to do. all good in the camp, apart from southgate and dele alli. 0n apart from southgate and dele alli. on and off the pitch it seems a very smooth build up so far and they will hope to get that win in the bag. we will hear from some of the players later when they go through their media duties. tomorrow, they ramp up preparations for panama. thank you. england building and so are many of the other teams. but what about lionel messi. today is his opportunity to grab the headlines.

argentina will hope to improve on their draw with iceland and they will play croatia. there are earlier games involving denmark and australia and france and peru. that is all the sport for now. thank you. let‘s return to our exclusive story this morning. aid workers at one of the world‘s biggest and most respected foreign aid organisations have been accused by whistle—blowers of sexual misconduct. we spoke to eight former employees of medecins sans frontiers, they told this programme that aid workers who were working on missions in kenya and other african countries had used local prostitutes. 0ne whistle—blower said a senior member of staff said it was possible to barter sex for medication with girls whose parents had died of ebola. they also described a culture of endemic sexism in the organisation. msf, which translates as doctors without borders, is a charity that sends medical teams into conflict zones,

natural disasters and epidemics to save lives. the accusations you‘re about to hear more on are against logistical staff and not doctors or nurses. msf says it does not tolerate "abuse, harassment or exploitation". the use of prostitutes is banned by msf under its strict code of conduct. we brought you our reporter anna adams‘ full film earlier — here‘s a short extract before we have a conversation about this. medecins sans frontieres is one of the biggest foreign aid agencies in the world. it brings vital medical supplies and clinicians to incredibly dangerous countries. but we‘ve spoken to people who say some aid workers exploited vulnerable women. we‘ve spent months talking to women who used to work at medecins sans frontieres and they‘ve all told us very similar stories. we‘ve heard accounts of endemic bullying, misogyny and sexism inside the organisation, and in some cases even the use of prostitutes in the field. this investigation is not

about the doctors or nurses. we‘re told it was some of the logistical staff who were abusing their power. a whistle—blower from london told us what she saw when she was sent to kenya. there was a senior member of staff who was bringing girls back to the msf house. obviously, i couldn‘t know for certain that they were having sexual relationships, but it was implicit that they were. these girls were very young, and they were rumoured to be prostitutes. it was difficult for people to challenge him, because he was quite senior. we met another whistle—blower in europe. she told us a senior member of staff had said it was possible to barter sex for medication with women who were getting medical aid. he said "it‘s so easy to barter medication with these easy girls in liberia". he was suggesting that lots of the young girls who‘d lost their parents to the ebola crisis, that they would do anything sexual in exchange for medication. and had he been there himself? yes, he had. in fact, he bragged about it quite a lot. to say it in front of three or four

people who were there and to say it to me very directly, what‘s this all about? it was impossible for us to verify this claim because the whistle—blower was not in liberia at the time. when we put this to msf, they said they needed more information to investigate. another source who worked with msf in africa said the use of local sex workers was widespread. there was this older colleague who actually moved a woman into the compound. he was in his fifties. she was a lot, lot younger. it was pretty obvious that she was a prostitute, but he called her his girlfriend. i saw one of my colleagues and he'd gone into the toilet with a local prostitute. i knew her to talk to because she worked in one of the bars. she told me they'd had sex, and that he'd paid her. we‘ve seen an internal report

that shows that msf were looking into harassment claims back in 2016. the report showed a third of female employees they‘d spoken to said they had been touched inappropriately at work. and they sacked 19 staff for sexual harassment last year alone. msf said they had reviewed their files, but couldn‘t find any records of the claims against the london office. they said they were saddened to hear the allegations, but hoped more people might now come forward. we can now speak to shaista aziz who used to work at msf, 0xfam and save the children amongst others. alexia pepper de caires, a campaigner for women‘s rights in the aid sector who used to be an employee at save the children. and karl wilding from the national council for voluntary organisations. which claim are you most shocked by, the claim that one woman was told

that it was possible to barter medication for sex, a claim a a staff member brought a woman back to staff member brought a woman back to staff accommodation.” staff member brought a woman back to staff accommodation. i defy anyone not to be shocked by that film. when it comes to vulnerable people, people who are sick with life—threatening illness and the term bartering for sex comes into the equation. that is breath—taking. it is shocking. what i can say to you as someone it is shocking. what i can say to you as someone who has worked in the sector for you as someone who has worked in the sectorfor more you as someone who has worked in the sector for more than 15 years, i came across these cultures and you don‘t barterfor sex if came across these cultures and you don‘t barter for sex if you‘re a woman who has power, you have agency, this thing about bartering for sex is about power and abuse. what is your reaction? first of all, i believe the women who are speaking

up. they are incredibly brave. the culture does not make it easy. the organisations are not open which is why we sit here in 2018 talking about a crisis. this is the tip of the iceberg. this is a culture which goes right across offices in london, it is not believe there is a system of silencing women who experience that, right through to the point where the most vulnerable women on the planet are experiencing the aid syste m the planet are experiencing the aid system and the humanitarian system and they are finding themselves without any power or voice to speak up. the women who witnessed this are further silenced. there is a huge syste m further silenced. there is a huge system at work to make sure this is not challenged accurately and that the men are not held to account. karl wilding, do you think it is more shocking that these are allegations from the aid sector when we think we know that most people who work in the aid sector are doing good, are helping people around the world ? good, are helping people around the

world? the shocking in the first instances we come and work in the sector because we have a set of values and beliefs that these are fundamentally an affront to. i did work for a charity because i agree with any of this. they also shocking because we are held to a higher standard of account for people working for other types of organisations, sol working for other types of organisations, so i very much hope that very quickly we can get to the bottom of these and address the problems that have been talked about. msf say we do not tolerate misconduct within our organisation. we are sorry of any instances where people have been subjected to harassment, abuse or otherwise mistreated, or felt it was not adequately dealt with. msf takes allegations seriously. the confidentiality that our mechanisms provide means we are not able to provide means we are not able to provide specific additional information publicly. however, we welcome the current scrutiny. we

know msf is not immune to these issues. the more people talk about them the more it encourages a cce pta ble them the more it encourages acceptable behaviour. do understand the point about confidentiality or should the aid sector open up? of course i understand. when a woman makes these accusations, it is not an easy thing to do. she does not wa nt to an easy thing to do. she does not want to be named or outed, so to speak. it is devastating and she is often put under peer pressure. the reason why we know this is because aleksei and i have setup a platform called ngos safe space which is for individuals who work in the sector to come forward and give anonymise ‘s testimony. in two weeks we had 80 individuals come forward and give their testimony. the majority of these people where women but there we re these people where women but there were a few men. we know that more than a few of them came from msf and they came from a number of

international organisations. these organisations should not be investigating themselves. it is com pletely investigating themselves. it is completely absurd to think you can have some the working there and you can investigate the claims that the same time. who should do it? it needs to be set up as an independent body. do agree, alexia? definitely. 0ver body. do agree, alexia? definitely. over the years women have been speaking up. there are women who have been able to explore and exposed situations for 20 years. the culture is not there to take those changes forward. the organisation is taking a line now that they have zero tolerance is a hard to believe. that is what brings us to campaign on these issues. we are not seeing the transformation and belief of women at the core of this. we are seeing a lot of regulatory systems around them, including a parliamentary select committee comprised of ten men and one woman holding an organisation to account,

that does not necessarily understand what patriarch years. there are a lot of people who are not buying into this analysis that there have been thousands of years of men's power being faded over women and we have to explain as that and explore why. the meat to movement has started making a space and we need to fully bring the situation into the light. at the moment it cannot do that because it is disclosing information piecemeal which means it is hard to systematically look at the problems and it is also putting the problems and it is also putting the reputation and income, pitting it against the experiences of women at the core of this —— the me tool movement has started making a space. what does this do to the damage of the sector. we have people who come in to work in the sector who want to

do good so we have to get to the bottom of it. i think alexia was right that we have not been good enoughin right that we have not been good enough in the way we have addressed these issues. i don't think we have these issues. i don't think we have the culture in our organisations where people feel they can safely come forward and talk about these issues and we have to get the government is right in the first instance so that people can report these and we can deal with these issues internally before we start thinking about an external regulator. i have an e-mail from elaine this she and her husband worked overseas with msf and other organisations in the 80s and 90s. she said: hand on heart we never had any experience that we are talking about today. she says unfortunately all large organisations will have bad apples and you have reported the msf have sacked 19 people in the last year. this means they are responsive to complaint and have sacked them. i agree people should ta ke sacked them. i agree people should take account but this report is not

balanced and it tars everyone with the same brush. you have already reported a comment, i no longer give two big agencies, only small local ones. elaine says this does a huge disservice for people working for these organisations. we work in dangerous environments with dedication and humility. would it be better not to report on these kind of claims? of course not. ifind it these kind of claims? of course not. i find it interesting that whenever these cases are reporting on, this is the reaction. no one has said every single aid worker everywhere in the world is indulging in these criminal activities. but when women and girls are talking about the abuse is being done against them, we need to listen and we need to understand that it is not acceptable and we need to act. just to say, i did not witness it or it did not happen when i was around, or i believe this organisation or the

other organisation does good work, this does not quite cut it. this is all part of the culture of silence in women or silence ingolstadt and not believing them. the reason why we have semi—people coming forward as we gave them an opportunity to speak and we gave them an opportunity to be her —— we had so many people coming forward. opportunity to be her —— we had so many people coming forwardm opportunity to be her —— we had so many people coming forward. is it right to believe people who make allegations like this before you have investigated? our investigation systems are wholly flawed. i have been part of sexual harassment investigations and they do not give justice. what you are saying is the allegation is the evidence because you believe somebody immediately? we know we have a rape culture in this country and prosecution rates are abysmal. but does not mean women are not right to talk about their experiences. we are talking about often private spaces. people going into toilets to have sex with women

who are vulnerable, people doing it behind closed doors, people doing it on mobile phones, there are new technologies available now. this is a power dynamic. if you look at someone who has power over a woman because they are a boss or they bring aid or medicine into a country, this is a shocking revelation that i did not see coming, we are not looking about whether it is possible to have an investigation along the construct we have today, because you are asking for one person's word over another to be believed. finalword to our audience, karl, to people who donate from the goodness of the heart to these kind of aid organisations? scrutineers good. we have to hear these things so we can sort them out. i think charities are taking them seriously. i think charities are doing good work but we are also victims of these practices and we will sort them out. thank you for

coming on the programme. still to come: should mobile phones be banned in schools? the chief inspector of schools in england is going to say in a speech today that she supports headteachers who‘ve decided the way to improve behaviour is to ban phones — adding the place of phones in the classroom is ‘dubious at best‘. do you agree? we‘ll get reaction. some breaking news within the last half hour. the brutal murder of an iraqi asylum seeker was motivated by racism and entirely avoidable, according to a reportjust published this morning. kamil ahmad was a refugee who was stabbed more than 25 times by a paranoid schizophrenic who was released from a secure hospital against the advice of a psychiatrist. jeffery barry mutilated the body of mr ahmad injuly 2016, hours after being released from the hospital. he was found guilty of the murder — which took place in the supported living home in bristol where they both lived — last year. 0ur social affairs correspondent

michael buchanan joins us from bristol now. tell us about the multiple failures which have been identified in this report? as you said jeffery barry and kamil ahmad both spent time at a sheltered housing complex in bristol. they both had different mental health conditions and they we re mental health conditions and they were living together for four years. 0ver that period jeffery barry overlooked an obsession with kamil ahmad. it is reported between 2013 and 2016 there were at least six incidents between the two men. they included barry punching kamil ahmad as well as a racially aggravated assault as well. however, those incidents were always seen through the prism of jeffery incidents were always seen through the prism ofjeffery barry long—term and violent mental health history.

they were not seen as being motivated by racism. what today‘s report makes clear is the report was motivated by racism. jeffery barry isa motivated by racism. jeffery barry is a racist who have mental health issues according to the report, rather than a mentally unwell individual whose racism is a manifestation of that illness. jeffery barry denies that he is a racist but that is the central conclusion of the safeguarding report. and all of this compounded bya number of report. and all of this compounded by a number of specific failings in the days leading up to the murder? indeed, these are terrible. what happened is jeffrey indeed, these are terrible. what happened isjeffrey barry indeed, these are terrible. what happened is jeffrey barry was detained under the mental health act ata detained under the mental health act at a private hospital but appealed. mental health tribunal was sitting but they were not provided with all the information related to his

violent mental health history. they decided to release him against the advice of two psychiatrists and jeffrey barry‘s own brother. error was compounded by the fact the person who was meant to be planning for his discharge did not do it quickly enough, so the social housing complex at which she stayed with kamil ahmad was only given a few hours warning that he was coming. they did not want him back and they wanted to launch legal action but they did not have time. they rounded up the residents they could contact and warned them that jeffrey barry was coming. u nfortu nately, jeffrey barry was coming. unfortunately, kamil ahmad could not be contacted. jeffrey barry went on to drinka be contacted. jeffrey barry went on to drink a litre of rom. he phoned the mental health team and told them he wanted to punch and asian. they phoned the police at half an hour later but within ten minutes or so jeffrey barry had phoned the police himself and told them that he had

killed kamil ahmad. thank you. michael buchanan reporting from bristol. time for the latest news — here‘s annita. a investigation for the victoria derbyshire programme has found serious allegations of sexual misconduct against foreign aid organisation medecins sans frontiers. former employees said they had seen women — believed to be prostitutes — being used by aid workers, who were working on missions in kenya and two countries in central africa. they also described a culture of endemic sexism in the organisation. msf said it was deeply saddened by the allegations and will investigate. theresa may has vowed there will be a ‘smooth and orderly‘ exit from the eu — this after her government‘s flagship brexit bill cleared its final parliamentary hurdle. she avoided a backbench rebellion with an eleventh hour concession to pro—eu tories. the "department for exiting the eu" said it marked a "crucial step" in the uk‘s preparations for brexit. the us president donald trump has ordered an end

to the separation of migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. his administration‘s policy of zero tolerance towards illegal immigration led to thousands of children being detained without their parents, but last night he signed an executive order bringing the policy to an end. president trump has insisted his administration will retain its tough stance on illegal immigration. if you‘re weak, which some people would like you to be, if you‘re really pa thetically weak, the country‘s going to be overrun with millions of people. if you‘re strong then you don‘t have any heart. that isa then you don‘t have any heart. that is a tough dilemma. perhaps i would rather be strong. but that is a tough dilemma. the education secretary, damian hinds, has backed calls for universities to tackle so—called "grade inflation". the think—tank, reform, says the number of first—class degrees being awarded has doubled since 2010. it‘s warned that degrees risk losing their credibility, but university leaders say a standardised approach is a threat to their independence. families are calling for a criminal

investigation after an inquiry found thousands of patients were overprescribed strong pain killers without medicaljustification. more than a50 people died prematurely at gosport memorial hospital. 0ne than a50 people died prematurely at gosport memorial hospital. one of the relatives affected told us there needs to be urgent action. let's have no more delay. let them stand up have no more delay. let them stand up and say, we were wrong, have no more delay. let them stand up and say, we were wrong, we have no more delay. let them stand up and say, we were wrong, we didn‘t support you, we now all of your concerns have been substantiated and this needs to go into a criminal court and it needs to happen fast. that‘s a summary of the latest bbc news. thank you for your comments, in particular about mobile phones. sarah said well managed schools, the use of digital technology, social

media sites are blocked. robert says i‘m a supply teacher and i consider it irresponsible to allow phones in schools. standards are appalling without phones. why make matters worse? tina said my daughter went to a large comprehensive school and the policy was mobile phones were allowed, but they were not permitted to be used in the classroom. the children were using the phones in the classroom under their desks texting and playing games and the teachers going on social media and bullying. this was worrying to me, i felt my daughter wasn‘t learning at the pace she should have been and the pace she should have been and the distraction of the phones was a big factor my daughter was only in the school for one year. i took her out and she started another school with a strict no mo bile phone rule.

it was the best decision me made to move her schools. you‘re views welcome now the sport with hugh. the england manager gareth southgate is looking pain—free and relaxed as he takes england training in repino this morning ahead of sunday‘s match against panama. there is another injury headache for southgate though. dele alli will not be involved in training today as he rests a thigh problem with the aim of featuring against panama on sunday. 0n the pitch yesterday, cristiano ronaldo earned another accolade — his goal in the win over morocco was his 85th international goal. no man has scored more for a european nation. and the highest score in a women‘s t20 international was broken twice yesterday. new zealand made 216, before 250 from england in the win over south africa in their tri series opener. that‘s all the sport for now. the chief inspector of schools is throwing her weight behind headteachers who want to ban mobile phones from their classrooms.

amanda spielman, who heads 0fstead, will say in a speech this afternoon that the case for smartphones in class is ‘dubious at best‘. it follows culture secretary matt hancock calling for a ban to prevent bullying among schoolchildren through social media. he suggested schools should confiscate phones at the start of the day. andy mellor has been head teacher at st nicholas church of england primary school in blackpool for 1a years. he‘s also the president of the national association of head teachers. what is your... you‘re at primary school, so hopefully not many kids have phones, but what issior policy. - what is you policy. we have responded to requests for children to have phones, because parents feel if they‘re walking to school,

they‘re safer if they have a mobile phone with them. it is peace of mind for pa rents phone with them. it is peace of mind for parents as well. so we have responded to that. but when the children arrive at school, we don‘t wa nt children arrive at school, we don‘t want expensive pieces of kit going missile. the teacher will lock them away for the day. that is what the cultural secretary was suggesting yesterday, you take, you know using the word confiscate or locking them away. you take them away for the day. the head of 0fsted is suggesting the evidence for phone use in class, as a teaching aid is dubious at best. what do you think of that? i don't necessarily agree with that. just down the road from my school there is a school that uses a bring your own device system, because they can‘t afford the technology in their school. that is another issue. we don‘t have the funding to afford that technology. so they have a strict policy about

how they‘re used, but the children use the phones and they get the best use the phones and they get the best use of them and stay safe online. people are not necessarily at risk at school. it is when they‘re at home or on the way to and from school and what we need to do in school and what we need to do in school is gets children how to use them safely. and jaden is a 16—year—old pupilfrom hull. how does it feel to be finished for the summer. relaxing! what was the policy on phones? we can take phones into school. we can have them, but we have got to be on silent during lessons. if we're caught with them in class, they're confiscated until the end of the lesson. right, do you think that is enough of a punishment if you‘re caught on your phone in a lesson? personally, yes, i do. because if you was in maths and the

next less son you had english and in that english lesson you needed to do research, i think you need that phone to be able do that and interact with that lesson. you know how tempting it is for us, the next the thing you know you‘re on snap chat and it is easy to get distracted. don‘t tell me that hasn‘t happened. distracted. don‘t tell me that hasn't happened. i would agree. personally, i do agree with that, yeah. have you seen fellow pupils with the phone under the desk? messaging on social media?‘ with the phone under the desk? messaging on social media? a lot and they have been punished by having they have been punished by having the phone took off them for that lesson. so you think having the phones is helpful? yes. what do you think about the culture secretary,

matthew hancock, suggesting that schools should take the phones from all of you. well, i disagree with this, because ofjust many contributing factors of everything of what happens such as like interacting with lessons, games such as ca hoot, you can answer questions andjoin in, most as ca hoot, you can answer questions and join in, most of my lessons are interactive at my previous school, which i've just left. i don't agree with what matthew hancock has said. andy mellor does that sound like a sensible policy? it is absolutely. it is our policy to allow our school leavers to make that decision for their school. you know, we had the secretary of state say it is time to trust school leavers. if we start micromanaging by edicts from ministers, we take that right for our school leavers to manage their

schools. and the bottom line for me is that mr hancock should be spending his time trying to find money for schools. we are facing one of the greatest funding shortages in 30 years. audrey has e-mailed and said, i disagree that mobile phones should be allowed in schools. how could a teacher monitor what app the child was using instead of concentrating on the lesson? not all children have a phone. leading to more discrimination. jayden, did eve ryo ne more discrimination. jayden, did everyone in your class have a mobile phone? yes. were athat you will smartphones. yes. ann said as a retired tutor i know how disruptive phones can be. i had a basket in to which mobile phones had to be placed during the lesson. if i decided to

incorporate the phone into the lesson that would be done. that isn‘t a bad idea? lesson that would be done. that isn't a bad idea? yes, again, you know, our school leavers and teachers are among the most creative people in the country. if we start just with a blanket ban, we take away that creativity and there is somebody who has a good strategy for using them and get the best value from them. while making sure the children are focussing. when amanda spielman said the place of mobile phones in classrooms seems dubious at best, she is trying to support heads who have confiscated mobile phones in their school. do you have sympathy for that? ultimately that has got to be a school leaders decision f they‘re saying that we defend your right to confiscate schools, if that is the policy, that is fine. i still go back to let the

school leaders manage their schools and let them make the decision. jayden, what are you doing next? you have got to go back in september? no, well, i'm going on to college to do media. oh, my goodness, don't do media! no, iwish do media. oh, my goodness, don't do media! no, i wish you all the best. thank you for coming on the programme. andy mellor thank you for talking to us as well. we are going to talk to another head teacher, norrie ashcroft is in blackpool. what is your reaction to the fact that amanda spielman is backing what the culture secretary said that schools shouldn‘t allow pupils to use phones in class? well, victoria, first i‘m not head teacher, i actually do programmes on the truth about bullying and human behaviour.

this is something i have said from the start, schools should ban mobile phones and it is not based on, you know the pros and cons, it based on human behaviour. it is too tempting for certain pupils, with human behaviour, to get on to phones. because my main interest is bullying, it is one of the big u psets bullying, it is one of the big upsets that creates more bullying in school through the day. so are you saying that schools should take phones away first thing and hand them back at the end of the day? yes, ido them back at the end of the day? yes, i do believe that. i think they need phones. my daughter needs a phone for emergencies and rescheduling of things. it is needed. but definitely in school time, it is too much of a distraction and it‘s notjust for children, but for adults too in the work place. it is human behaviour.

but we have to explain to them properly why their emotional behaviour, their need, their primal needs, overrule it. otherwise especially now when you take something from someone, that is going to cause more resistance. thank you very much. sorry for saying you were a head teacher. but thank you for coming on. it is ok. thank you. primary school children who walk to school are exposed to 30% more toxic pollution than their parents because they‘re shorter, and therefore closer to exhaust pipes and fumes. the research from the environmental charity global action plan also shows that those children face two and half times more pollution if they are taken to school by car. this morning we sent our reporter rick kelsey out to southwark in south london to see how much pollution the ismail family face as they walk to school. za ra

zara and the kids take this walk each day through one of the most polluted parts of the city. for an aduu polluted parts of the city. for an adult walking their children to school can be bad for the lungs in the city. but if you come down here, it can be up to 30% worse. since moving to south london from the country, three of zara‘s children have got asthma. it is polluting, there is a lot of cars. because it is busy. it releases fumes that can cause. . . is busy. it releases fumes that can cause... lung is busy. it releases fumes that can cause. . . lung cancer is busy. it releases fumes that can cause... lung cancer and asthma. is busy. it releases fumes that can cause... lung cancer and asthmam is the pollution, there is lots of ca rs is the pollution, there is lots of cars and vans dropping deliveries and the kids are asthmatic. they will be coughing. but what can we do. how much do you worry about the pollution, do you try and a avoid

it? i don't have a choice. but i would love to. i live in the middle of the mroogs area. —— pollution area. research suggests exposure to pollution is 2.5 times lower if it is possible to take a route to school along quiet back streets compared to busy roads. za ra zara is living in the central congestion zone. we know air quality is particularly bad and we know the levels of pollution the children are breathing in our very bad for the lungs. they are damaging the growth of the lungs and this could be damaging their health long—term. za ra damaging their health long—term. zara hopes few people use their cars so their kids can have better lungs in the future. and zara is here. shazia ali—webber, a mum of three

primary school children aged ten, eight and four. her eldest has asthma. and we also have professor chris griffiths, from queen mary university of london. he‘s currently running a study into how low emission zones in london may influence the development of lung capacity in primary school children. shazia your eldest has asthma and zara, three of your four children have asthma, why is this? it is because we live in the city. they never had before. they used to live in the countryside. they had no problems until we moved to london. what do you think? i think it is a combination of problems. me and my husband have asthma so we were expecting to have children with asthma but i think the situation is made a lot worse with the fact we live in hackney in a particularly polluted part of the city. do know that for a fact? yes, i launched a

campaign called: i like clean air, with a lot of other parents in south hackney. we measured the air pollution levels in our streets so we have a definitive picture of pollution levels on the streets surrounding our children's pollution levels on the streets surrounding our child ren's schools and homes. and professor chris griffiths, you have been gathering data from around the world on air quality. how does the uk compared to other countries? the uk, compared to other countries? the uk, compared to other countries? the uk, compared to other countries the uk is not good. we know air quality in london particularly but also a major cities around the uk, the air quality is some of the worst in europe. you will have heard the government have been taken to court several times by groups like clean air because we are breaking the european limits repeatedly so in short the air

quality in the uk and london particularly is extremely poor. which can contribute to asthma and what other problems? pour out quality ad firstly affects health from the life course from —— quality ad firstly affects health from the life course from -- poor air quality effects people from children in the womb, increased incidence of asthma as children are growing and wants children and asthma have asthma, the incidence of asthma have asthma, the incidence of asthma attacks increase. in the long—term air pollution will lead to deterioration of lung capacity in aduu deterioration of lung capacity in adult life and that leads to conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease but they're also increased incidence of strokes, dementia and so forth. it is across the life course. in terms of the study you are doing into low emission zones, just explain what that is. a low emission zone is a policy whereby the most polluting

vehicles for example are prevented from entering areas of high pollution, in an effort to reduce the ambient levels of pollution. you are trying to find out whether that really does help in the local population? yes, no parent wants their child to grow up with damaged lungs. we know the air pollution stunts the growth of adult lungs. no pa re nt stunts the growth of adult lungs. no parent wants that. that is why we are evaluating this new policy of an u lt ra low are evaluating this new policy of an ultralow emission zone in london, to demonstrate notjust ultralow emission zone in london, to demonstrate not just that ultralow emission zone in london, to demonstrate notjust that it may improve air quality, but it prevents the damage which we know is happening to children's lungs in major towns and cities. so a report says children are exposed to 30% more toxic pollution than adults because they are shorter and nearer to the exhaust fumes when they are walking to school, when you hear that, what can you change about your

behaviour, if anything, that, what can you change about your behaviour, ifanything, in that, what can you change about your behaviour, if anything, in order to protect your children from that?” live in the city centre so i cannot avoid the pollution. the only thing ican do avoid the pollution. the only thing i can do is avoid the pollution. the only thing ican do is! avoid the pollution. the only thing i can do is i bought an air... avoid the pollution. the only thing i can do is i boughtan air... i forgot the name. it is like a machine. i don't know what it is called but what does it do?l filter. it leans the air in the house. it is a machine you by —— it clea ns house. it is a machine you by —— it cleans the air in the house. each of my children have one in their room. that is the only way i can do it. would that counteract anything they had in health outside or not? what they inhaled outside, it will not stop them inhaling poor air quality outside but it can improve the air

quality inside the house. how effective they are, i don't know what evidence there is. shazia, what about you ? what evidence there is. shazia, what about you? there are some basic steps. it is very localised the pollution from traffic. so instead of walking on the kerb—side, walking on the inside of the pavement has an impact. walking a block back from major roads has an impact. the fact is living in any major city in this country and you are walking along a road where there is a continual flow of traffic, there will be exposure to air pollution and by nature, children being shot will have great exposure. even if you walk a block backin exposure. even if you walk a block back in suburban roads, you are avoiding traffic assiduously, there will come a point when you are meeting traffic and the toxic air at that point is so harmful to children and that is what has always

motivated me. on my route to school, when we walk, we come to a point where there is a junction. the traffic lights are timed in such a way that we have to wait in the middle of a dual carriageway to cross the road. the phasing of traffic lights is a whole other conversation! thank you for coming environment secretary michael gove said: "this troubling new research is a further demonstration of why we need to take strong action now to improve air quality. our new clean air strategy sets out how we will be the first major developed economy to reduce air pollution in line with world health organisation limits and we have invested £3.5 billion to reduce harmful emissions. but clean air day reminds us that by taking simple steps, like leaving the car at home for the school run, we can work together to reduce air pollution and protect our health." she‘s new zealand‘s youngest prime minister in 150 years, and nowjacinda ardern has become the first world leader to take official parental leave. ms ardern broke the news that she‘d had a baby girl on social media,

posting this picture of herself with the new baby and her partner clarke gayford. she said she felt "very lucky to have a healthy baby girl" and thanked hospital staff. ms ardern plans to take six weeks of maternity leave before returning to herjob. before becoming a mum, she spoke to lucy hockings aboutjuggling motherhood and leadership. it will be clarke and i. clarke will be the primary caregiver but we will no doubt lean on others. we are very lucky to have wonderful family, wonderful mothers, but it is fantastic. even here at the commonwealth heads of government meeting there are certain places that are hosting meetings in the future, and places particularly in the pacific saying, "bring the baby. "we are great with children. "just bring the child, we will take care of it!" i think it will take an international community to raise this child. have you and clarke started having

these difficult negotiations or will you see how it is? we will see how we roll. we have not got any expectations. i think there is no point in me planning this to the nth degree. what will be will be. but prime minister, i wonder about this pressure, and whether once you have this baby you will have to be all things to all people. to some people you will have to be this earth mother, to others you will have to be the strong prime minister who is in charge, the career woman. do you feel that? i think every woman feels that. i am not alone. i think any woman i talk to, whether they work or they are a stay—at—home mum, feels an expectation that they are meant to be the other thing. that is not you and i think if anything, it is slightly different for me. people know that i have to be the prime minister. there is less guilt in that because i have this existing responsibility, so in a way that weight is taken off me. the choice is removed. i have to be all things. the one thing i am really keen to emphasise is i am no superwoman. and nor should any woman be

expected to be a superwoman. we achieve what we achieve through grit, determination and help. do you find all these questions about the baby intrusive? they are very personal. no, not at all. when you are only the second person in the world to have a baby in office, of course it will be of interest. i don‘t mind that at all. what i hope this one day in the future it will not be interesting any more. do you feel a commitment to some of the honesty you have expressed, that that‘s important as well to hear your experiences? i don‘t know how to be anything else. i think maybe that is one of the benefits of having come into politics without this particular ambition to be in leadership, is that i find myself here and i have never had any particularfacade or as some would say, filter. and that is what i am

most comfortable with. if there is some benefit from being honest about the experience with others, then all the better for it. jacinda adern speaking before she had her baby. now what do senegalese fa ns had her baby. now what do senegalese fans think of lord sugar‘s tweet. he went on to twitter and said, i cannot see what i have to apologise for. you lot are 0ti t. then he deleted the tweet. lord sugar later deleted the original tweet saying —

i misjudged me earlier tweet. it was no way intended to cause offence and clearly my attempt at humour has backfired. the bbc press office also commented on lord sugar‘s actions saying it was a seriously misjudged tweet — and it‘s right that the host of the apprentice has apologised unreservedly. but what do senegalese football fans make of it? 0ur reporter ashley—jean baptiste caught up with these fan who are following their team in russia. he later apologised for the tweet. do you accept his apology? they took it as a joke. that is it from today. tomorrow, we will talk from today. tomorrow, we will talk from the partner of a man whose facebook profile was suddenly deleted six months after he died. it disappeared overnight. good morning. it will feel cool in

the sunshine but noticeably fresher than yesterday. lots of blue skies at the moment. this was on the isle of wight in short time ago. a similar picture across the uk. still some rain in the far northern isles of scotland. quite a strong wind in this north—eastern quadrant of the uk. breezy elsewhere. with the wind coming in from the north—west, that means it will feel a bit fresher. temperatures down on what they have been recent days. further north, the temperatures up into the high teens. in the sunshine, in any shelter, in the afternoon it will feel pretty warm. through the evening, not a great deal of change. we will lose the rain in the northern isles. it will turn chilly into friday morning. friday will be another day of sunshine and it will be dry and feeling pretty warm.

this is bbc news and these are the top stories developing at 11.00am. the brutal murder of an iraqi asylum seeker, motivated by racism, was entirely avoidable according, a report says. the home secretary is to reveal more details about the settlement scheme for eu citizens who want to stay in the uk after brexit. calls for doctors to be held to account from the relatives of those whose lives were shortened at gosport war memorial hospital. let‘s have no more delay. let them

stand up and say, we were wrong, we didn‘t support you and now all of your concerns have been substantiated and this needs to go toa criminal substantiated and this needs to go to a criminal court and it needs to happen fast. also, a first baby for the new zealand prime minister. jacinda ardern gives birth a baby girl, becoming only the second world
