9:00 am
hello, it's monday, it's nine o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire, welcome to the programme. and the sun is still shining. could this man and many more like him have been targeted by undercover cops as part of a blacklist of construction workers? people who were put on the secret list want answers from the police. everyone involved in this conspiracy knew what the consequences of deliberately enforced unemployment... with the intentions of making that on a permanent basis. more than 3200 workers were on the list. this programme has discovered that the metropolitan police know how many of those were targeted by special branch, but isn't telling the victims. we will find out today if heathrow is going to get a third runway but is the government facing a last minute struggle to get mps to vote in favour of the plan? i know there are other mps who disagree with that and disagree very strongly. at the end of the day, governments have to take a decision, have to form a judgment. that is what we have done. and we are now saying to parliament, back thatjudgment. we'll be finding out how tight
9:01 am
the vote is likely to be. and also this morning... there is the chance for five, there is the chance for a second for harry kane. same place, same result. how farcan kane. same place, same result. how far can england go in this world cup? and how simple or otherwise is the potential path to the final? hello, welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. we will bring you the weather forecast just before ten we will bring you the weather forecastjust before ten o'clock. we wa nt to forecastjust before ten o'clock. we want to hear from you this morning if you were one of those construction workers who was put on that industry blacklist which would have had a massive impact on you in terms of trying to get work. are you one of those who wants to find out
9:02 am
if you were effectively spied upon by special branch? let us know. we will bring you a special film at about quarter past nine. and if you are an england supporter, get in touch. it is amazing to be an english fan and experience joy and euphoria. or are you one of those who caution against getting too excited? 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 news story today: mps are set to vote on the government's plans to build a third runway at heathrow airport in a vote that's likely to expose splits in both labour and conservative ranks. the £14 billion project is expected to create 60,000 jobs, but the scheme is strongly opposed by many west london mps and councils on environmental grounds. the transport secretary says it will boost the uk's ability to compete on the world stage after brexit. ben thompson is at heathrow airport for us. do you think today is the day when
9:03 am
it will finally get the go—ahead at last? 20 years in the making this decision today, victoria. all expectations are that the deal will get the go—ahead, but that does not mean it will be built. it could even be 2026 by the time it is built and that assumes there is no legal comeback. people opposing the expansion of the airport say even if it gets a nod from mps later today, they will follow this through in the court. there is a lot of way to go yet and it is because there are so many different arguments for why this should or should not be built. you touched on the advantages, an economic boost, £70 billion extra to the economy, 60,000 jobs, economic boost, £70 billion extra to the economy, 60,000jobs, but economic boost, £70 billion extra to the economy, 60,000 jobs, but on the is the noise and pollution that an
9:04 am
extra runway would create that is causing so much concern for local residents. 750 homes would have to be flattened to make way for it. thousands more people would end up in the flight path. supporters say there is money to help insulated houses against noise, there is more than market rate purchase price for the houses that would be demolished, but the two sides are long wait apartand but the two sides are long wait apart and even if it gets the nod later, there is a lot of work to be done. ben thompson at heathrow. ben thompson at heathrow. joanna gosling is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. the metropolitan police is refusing to reveal the names of a secret blacklist of construction workers its special branch shared with some of the uk's biggest building companies. more than 3000 people were on the list which was used to prevent workers regarded as troublemakers getting onto sites. an investigation by this programme has revealed that scotland yard knows which workers were affected but are refusing to release a confidential report detailing their names. police in jamaica are investigating the murder
9:05 am
of an elderly british couple who had recently moved to the island. grandparents charlie and gayle anderson from manchester, were found dead at their home in mount pleasant on friday. ben ando reports. charlie anderson, who was 7a, and his 71—year—old wife, gayle, were, say friends, hugely popular and loved by many. they'd retired to jamaica about a year ago, but now they've been found dead and their dream home set on fire. the house was partially burnt, however, one room was totally destroyed by fire. the bodies we observed to have the wounds to the neck and face, however we are not able to say at this time what could have caused those injuries. the couple had been married for 55 years. in a statement, their family said: one former neighbour said the couple
9:06 am
may have been the victims of fraud. he told me about some money, which was taken from either himself, or his wife's account, which he came to personally investigate. jamaica has a high crime rate. last year, there were 1,600 murders, but, at the moment, the police say they have no—one in custody and have given no clue as to why the andersons were killed. ben ando, bbc news. a court will consider later today to decide whether the taxi firm uber is fit and proper to operate in london. it has been allowed to continue pending an appeal. it has been allowed to continue pending an appeal. the electoral authorities in turkey
9:07 am
say president erdogan has won a second term. with nearly all the votes counted, he has secured nearly 53%, avoiding the need for a second round run—off. the powers of the presidency have been dramatically increased under a new constitution approved last year. there will be no prime minister and the president will have powers over the judiciary. the uk's official music chart will now take into account videos that have been downloaded or streamed online, as well as audio downloads, and sales of cd and vinyl. tracks can often have billions of views on video sites such as youtube, but they have previously not counted towards it's position in the chart. lizo mzimba reports. this week's number one single, solo by clean bandit and demi lovato. its chart position was calculate it using a formula that combines the number of times the song has been bought with the number of times it's been streamed, through audio services such as spotify. but online video sites have become one of the main ways that young people
9:08 am
in particular consume music. the video for despacito has been viewed more than 5 billion times. so now the weekly charts will also take into account how often a song's music video is watched on platforms, like youtube. like many acts, chart—topping synthpop group years & years put a huge amount of effort and creativity into their videos. they've welcomed the new move. so many people nowjust watch streaming sites or watch videos online as a way to kind of engage with the music of the artist, you know? some people just watch the video, they're not even aware of, like, the song separate from it, so i think it's definitely about time. the new rules come into effect from today, with the official chart company keen that their weekly charts reflect the song's popularity as accurately as possible, however it's being accessed by fans. lizo mzimba, bbc news. more than half of councils in england are now charging
9:09 am
residents to collect garden waste. the bbc‘s "rip off britain: live" found that local authorities earned almost £74 million from providing the service last year. the local government association says it is just one of the changes that councils have had to make because of a £5 billion hole in their finances. simonjones reports. counting the cost of clearing up the garden. more of us are now having to pay to have our green waste taken away. while the law says local authorities have to pick up household waste for free, funded by the council tax, there is no such rule about garden waste. this street in manchester falls under two different councils. one which charges to collect it and the other which doesn't. why should we have to pay for something that's in the past has not been a problem? my first emotions were we shouldn't pay because it's something you've always had included in your council tax. 172 of the 322 councils that responded to a freedom of information request
9:10 am
from rip off britain live said they charge to collect garden waste. in the year 2016—17, councils and almost £74 million doing it. the average cost to residents is £42.40 each year. local authorities say the money raised is used to maintain the service. with a £5 billion hole in council finances, with funding needed for adult social care, for children's services, for potholes, for all of the other things that you cover in stories to do with local government, this is one of the areas where councils have seen that they have to charge. they also say it's unfair people without gardens should have to fund those who do have them. the government insists any cost charged must be reasonable and clear. prince william has begun a five—day tour of the middle east, which will include the first official royal visit to israel
9:11 am
and the palestinian territories. first stop for the duke was amman, the capital ofjordan, where he attended a garden party marking the queen's birthday yesterday. he's due to move on to tel aviv this afternoon. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag victoria live and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. let's get some sport now with tim hague. any football on yesterday, tim? it is leading every news story across britain today. we cannot get to carried away. but 6—i across britain today. we cannot get to carried away. but 6—1 in the world cup is not to be sniffed at. they beat panama and john stones scored the first of his two goals before jesse lingard scored the first of his two goals beforejesse lingard got the third and the pick of them. what an
9:12 am
absolute beauty that was. another day and another three harry kane goals. this time he got a couple of penalties to put away and got his hat—trick of his heel in the second half to complete a remarkable day for him and for england of course. celebrations around the country as you can imagine, look out for the guy at the front in the red shirt. that was in nottingham. and this is peterborough. a beer shower for everybody there! but it wasn't just the fans celebrating. harry maguire posted this on social media — because a couple of years ago he travelled to the euros as an england fan and yesterday his friends were in the stands to watch him in an england shirt. we got a look at harry kane's matchball too after that hat—trick — signed by his team—mates. and here they all are on the plane back to their base in repino last night. and harry kane is now
9:13 am
the leading scorer in the world cup, victoria, on five goals, one ahead of cristiano ronaldo. and either team looking further ahead? at the start of the cup we said we were not going to get too excited. that has gone out the window. it is next in belgium. it will be an interesting game because there are so many premier league players in the belgian squad and they are managed by roberto martinez as well. currently both teams have the same goal difference, same goals scored and same goals conceded, so first and second place in the group could come down to red and yellow cards and there is a suggestion second place might be betterfor england. japan and senegal drew 2—2 yesterday, whilst colombia knocked poland out
9:14 am
when they beat them 3—0 last night. so, if england finish runners up in group g, they'll still play one of those three teams, but on tuesday the third instead and in moscow. the quarterfinals would be on the sixth or 7th ofjuly. not looking too far ahead, but looking to the quarterfinals! add a good day for the england cricketers. and the sun was shining as well. and lewis hamilton. it really was a brilliant day for english sport, victoria. the cricketers wrapped up a 5—0 win over australia in the one—day series, the first ever whitewash over the aussies in any form of the game. it was a nail—biting one—wicket victory at old trafford — jos buttler the match winner with an outstanding, unbeaten century.
9:15 am
and if that all doesn't get you fired up for a monday morning everybody, nothing will! that's all the sport for now. if you support scotland, wales or northern ireland you might not be as euphoric as the england supporters. could hundreds of construction workers have been spied on, by the police? the metropolitan police has admitted that their elite special branch unit provided information to a secret blacklist of construction workers. this programme has now discovered that the met know who and how many workers were targeted by police in this way, but will not tell the workers themselves. the list was used by 44 of the uk's biggest building companies to vet workers they saw as as troublemakers. those firms have already paid out more than £75 million in compensation and legal costs to more than 800 staff who were on the list. we have learned that the police know which of these workers
9:16 am
were targeted by special branch, but are refusing to release a confidential report with the details. simon cox reports. for decades, the building industry hid a dark secret. i was trying to get work and to help myself and getting up every morning. if i'm not working then i'm wondering where the nextjobs coming from. and for long periods in my life you're in a very dark place. a blacklist of workers used by britain's biggest construction firms. and those placed on it couldn't get work on any major building sites. we didn't know how long it was going to last. we know it's inevitable. we know the hardship and suffering's going to worsen. the police recently admitted they supplied information to the blacklist, from undercover
9:17 am
officers spying on workers. they're refusing to release a confidential report into this. but we've learned the police discovered which workers were targeted and have known this for more than two years. but still haven't told them. i think the met is worried because it is many hundreds of people i think might be affected by this. i had a duty to my family, to myself, to try and get food on the table. you're always looking to get on site and jobs but when, obviously, it's not happening, that's when it really hurts, as much as anything. roy bentham was a successful carpenter, when suddenly he was shut out of the building industry. unable to get a job on any major site for almost two decades. you'd literally be giving your cvs into the gate, and you just wouldn't
9:18 am
be hearing anything back at all. so, it was just a wall of silence, whenever you were phoning up and asking why you weren't being taken on, and people were telling you there was no vacancies. how bad did it get? moneywise, terrible. you know, obviously, there's things that you take for granted that you'd buy when you're in work and then all of a sudden, you you know you'll have to pull your horns in but on your conscience as well. you know it's something that you know you think to yourself, well, you know you're looking at yourself as a person you're doubting yourself as a person as well. so i've had some dark times. what impact did it have on your relationship, on your family? i'm not working, you know, so there's a whole number of things which places a strain on that, and, yeah, you know, it does and subsequently you split up. roy had been placed on a secret blacklist of workers. normally, union activists who'd raised genuine safety concerns. it was run from this tiny office in the west midlands by an agency
9:19 am
called the consulting association and funded by a0 of the uk's biggest building firms. it was used to root out workers, and once on the list you couldn't get work on any big project. workers long suspected a list. but this was confirmed, when, in 2009 the information commissioner's 2009 the information commissioner's office raided the premises and found files for over 3,000 workers. roy's file wasn't long. he'd only been on strike once in 1995, when he was a shop steward but the comments about him were highly damaging. he was branded as incompetent. that he could be easily led by others, as a bit of a sheep. and, even worse, that he was signing on for benefits as unemployed when he was employed, which wasn't true. i was sort of shocked.
9:20 am
i picked it up and i thought what the hell's this? than i sort ofjoined the pieces of the jigsaw together and thought this is why i've been kept off building sites, for a 16—year period, you know. those 16 years locked out of building sites was for going on strike just once. it had a profound affect on his life. it ruined it. it did ruin it because, obviously, i'm trying to get work, i'm doubting myself and i'm getting up every morning... if i'm not working, then i'm wondering where the nextjob‘s coming from. and, for long periods of my life, you're in a very dark place. once the blacklist was made public, workers who thought they were on a secret vetting list could request their files from the information commissioner's office. and when they got them, they suspected other forces were at work. steve acheson was an electrician on major projects around the world
9:21 am
but that stopped when he was placed on the construction company blacklist in the year 2000, after he'd been unfairly sacked for raising health and safety concerns. it was an absolutely terrible period. and it's not a short period. what makes it worse, it doesn't look like the end of the tunnel for me. i can't make promises to her. it's how it was going to be. we didn't know how long it was going to last. but we know it's inevitable. we know the hardship and suffering was going to person. it's not going to alleviate itself. the answer to that is re—employment. it's a real bad period, you know. you can't buy it back, you know? i knew something sinister was going on, because i was really struggling. i mean, it's inevitable, you know, when you're not working, hardship's going to start. and i had a six—year period like that. in those six years, he had no work at all. when he did manage to get a job, he'd be thrown off the project within weeks. the mortgage is running down,
9:22 am
i was right on the brink. that's another thing i have to go and tell the wife. you know, that the ultimate, the roof over our heads, was going to go. when you had to tell your wife that, what was it like? well, the worst thing i've ever had to do in my life, ever. she's just your housewife, you know, and a mother, who's suffered the same as me, who's working and suffering, and then to think that the very thing we've worked for, you know, it's right on the brink of being lost. how damaging was it for you? you're in a sespit, basically. there was no light to get out of it. nothing. the only light came when he got hold of his blacklist file. he'd been called ex—ira and "a bad egg," supposedly a code used by the security services and the police's intelligence gathering undercover unit special branch. you become aware, then, of the stakes involved. they're supposed to uphold
9:23 am
the law, by the way. and they're helping these bosses inflict untold damage on thousands of decent people and, yet, they've got the state helping them to keep us out of work. i've seen information on me that is completely false, by the way. ex—ira and, you know, the bad egg bit, if that's their code, that's their code, but what are they doing watching a normal guy like myself go to work? as other blacklisted workers obtained their files they suspected the police had passed on information about them, too. but they didn't have any proof until they found an insider to help them. peter francis spent four years as an undercover officer with the metropolitan police's special branch, spying on leftwing activists. i was living their lives with them, as a member, i was also a member of militant. i would go on all their demonstrations, i would go to their meetings, i would socialise with the people. we done everything.
9:24 am
after leaving the force, he became a whistle—blower, revealing how undercover officers spied on campaign groups and that building workers he'd been spying on had information fed to the blacklist by special branch. i was shown some extracts of files, for a couple of people. and when i read the files through, this was the consulting agency files that they held on them, i just saw some very, very similar things to what were on the same files held by the special branch of these same people. he always believed the information that he was gathering would be kept within the force. very worrying. the only reason that we collect the information, as far as i was aware, was that the government was aware that these people were deemed to be subversive. but certainly, as far as i was aware, i was never thought that my intelligence go down to a private system. we know there are a few workers who think that the police supplied information to the blacklist.
9:25 am
do you think that there are more involved ? i'd be very surprised if it's not far more people. the special branch, when i left the special branch, which is in 2001, we had hundreds upon hundreds if not thousands upon thousands of files on individuals. so, what is the chance of a lot more of them not being blacklisted, say on the consulting agency or even maybe other indices that we're not aware of. no, i'd be stunned if all we actually had is these few activists. so how many workers were caught up in this? the police began investigating this back in 2014. they interviewed over 100 officers and the findings of the inquiry were so sensitive that they were sent directly to the commissioner of the metropolitan police, where they sat for years until, finally, in march 2018, the police admitted that special branch had supplied information to the blacklist. but, crucially, they didn't say how many people were affected. i think it's implausible to think
9:26 am
that it comes from anywhere else other than the police. and when people first told me that, i thought that they were just talking nonsense, things like that don't happen in this country. dave smith was an engineer who, like many others, was blacklisted after he became active in his union. he was one of a group of activists who was spied on by undercover officers, who spent years working and living among them. there's always been undercover police officers, but these people have been given a new passport. they've been given a new national insurance number and they are literally embedded with, you know, perfectly normal campaigners, perfectly legal democratic organisations, like trade unions, just to spy on them and find out what we're doing. they've had people embedded with our group for more than ten years and i'm a trade unionist. i'm not a terrorist. being targeted by the police and blacklisted by big building
9:27 am
companies had a massive impact on his life and destroyed his career. it's tough, you know, when you're defaulting on your mortgage and you're a grown man. and it's a blunt instrument, but blacklisting works, because if their purpose was to keep me off a building site, then it genuinely did work. because if you can't pay the bills and you can't put food on the table then you've basicallyjust got go and find somewhere else to get a job. how many other builders were shut out of big sites because of information supplied by the police? we've learned that the metropolitan police know which workers had information on their blacklist files, but it comes files, that had come from special branch and they've known it for years. but those workers who were affected still don't know that they were targeted. and their unions have been trying to get answers. to find out that there was actually state involvement in that secret blacklisting, that police officers were responsible for passing information about individuals
9:28 am
covertly to a secret organisation, in order to deny them and their families money and the right to work, is almost beyond belief. the union has demanded the metropolitan police release their report into special branch links to the blacklist. so far, they've refused. it's bizarre tojmb and i think certainly to the people blacklisted to understand why that happened, in the first place. but also to not to be able to have that information now, to give them the final part of the closure that they need. the building firms responsible for this were forced to pay over £75 million in legal costs and compensation to over 800 workers. now they want to know how many of them and others had their lives ruined by police involvement. everyone involved in this conspiracy knew the consequences of deliberately enforced
9:29 am
unemployment, with the intentions of making that on a permanent basis. i'm definitely aware that people had their entire lives destroyed because they weren't able to gain employment. and the only reason they weren't able to gain employment was basically for their political beliefs. they've taken food off my kids' table and i take this personally. and we are going to hound those until we get them in front of a public inquiry and have to account for themselves. we asked to speak to the metropolitan police about this. they sent us a statement saying these issues had first been investigated back in 2014 and that further inquiries had established that information on building workers was passed by special branch to the blacklist. we will talk more about it later on.
9:30 am
jack has got in touch with us. he says i was one of more than 3000 workers put on the blacklist simply for being active in my trade union. that might seem a long time ago that in 2013! was told by the information commissioner's office that my file had been passed on and kept by the consulting association who simon mentioned in this film who had taken over the blacklist. they had kept the file until 2009. almost 30 years after i had last word in the construction industry. still to come: where is boris johnson? ? it's the day mps are expected to finally give the green light to a third runway at heathrow. tory mps are told to back the proposals but one of the most vocal opponents is "somewhere overseas". we'll get the latest on the foreign secretary's whereabouts. how can universities better help those students with mental health issues? let us know your thoughts, we'll be discussing it because the first ever detailed statistics on student suicide are released injust a moment.
9:31 am
time for the latest news, here's joanna. mps will decide later on the government's plans to build a third runway at heathrow airport in a vote which will expose divisions in both labour and conservative ranks. the £14 billion project will create 60,000 jobs but opponents say the cost to the environment is too high. the foreign secretary borisjohnson, who's always argued against the runway, is being permitted to miss the vote. labour is giving its mps a free vote on the question. the metropolitan police is refusing to reveal the names on a secret blacklist of construction workers its special branch shared with some of the uk's biggest building companies. more than 3000 people were on the list which was used to prevent workers regarded as troublemakers getting onto sites. an investigation by this programme has revealed that scotland yard knows which workers were affected but are refusing to release a confidential report
9:32 am
detailing their names two men from london, aged 25 and 37, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in police custody. it's after a man died and two others suffered life—threatening injuries during a burglary in bristol this morning. police say they attended a property on prewett street in the city following reports of an aggravated burglary in progress. they say it appears to be an isolated incident but are urging anyone with concerns to speak to one of the neighbourhood officers. police injamaica are trying to determine the motive for the killing of a british couple living on the island. the bodies of charlie and gayle anderson, who were both in their 70s, were discovered on friday by neighbours. they had recently retired to the caribbean from manchester. a court will consider later today if the taxi app firm uber is "fit and proper" to hold an operator licence in london. last september, the company was refused permission to renew its licence over concerns about passenger safety. uber has been allowed to continue pending an appeal.
9:33 am
more than half of councils in england are now charging residents to collect garden waste, according to figures obtained by the bbc‘s rip off britain: live. the service costs residents an average £43 per year. the local government association says it is needed because of a £5 billion hole in theirfinances. just in case you missed it, england are through to the knockout stages of the world cup after their historic 6—1win over panama. a hat—trick by harry kane has also helped propel him to the tournament's leading goal scorer so far. england are nowjoint top of group g with belgium who they play on thursday. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. this viewer says, let's keep this in perspective. panama are 55 in the world and now everyone think england
9:34 am
will win the world cup. england has struggled against minnows before, but yes, it is something to celebrate. but yes, it is something to celebrate. here's some sport now with tim. yes, through to the last 16 thanks to harry kane's hat—trick in the 6—1 win over panama. also england play belgium on thursday to get through to the last 16. the potential opponents in the second round would bejapan, opponents in the second round would be japan, senegal or colombia. safe standing at football grounds will be debated in the commons today after more than 100,000 people signed a petition. the current policy is that all—seater stadium are safest, but the time is right to look again at the time is right to look again at the issue. england's cricketers completed their first ever whitewash over australia in any format as they took the fifth one day at old trafford to win the series. and andy
9:35 am
murray plays a second match of his comeback in these binders afternoon. his opponent is stan wawrinka, who is another three times grand slam champion on the way back from injury. that is all for now. i will have more later. when 100,000 rohingya refugees fled last autumn there were widespread reports of sexual assault by the burmese military and we have reported on that on this programme. aid agencies warned unwanted problems pregnancies would result in thousands given up for adoption. there is growing international pressure to investigate atrocities against the rohingyas. more than nine months on,
9:36 am
our south asia correspondent danjohnson has been to the refugee camps in bangladesh to examine the legacy of sexual violence. we should warn you this report includes some distressing details which some viewers might find upsetting. to have an abortion would have been a sin. so would giving my baby away. she's only a week old. she doesn't even have a name yet. but the joy of her precious new life is tinged by the long shadow of what her mother endured. the soldiers caught me before i could run away. they raped me and then that night i was raped again. they did it again the next morning and that afternoon. she was held for days and repeatedly raped, kicked and beaten. the house next door was set on fire, so i ran to another building.
9:37 am
i couldn't find any water so i drank from a pond. i found some rohingyas and i ran away with them but i couldn't keep up. i fell behind and some other soldiers caught me. then i was assaulted again. she was left in the jungle but another group of soldiers found her. she was abused again. before being tied to a tree. they left me tied up there. when i saw more soldiers, i would duck down and hide. and i sat there, crying. another group of rohingyas rescued me and carried me across the border. then, she discovered she was pregnant. she faced the toughest of dilemmas.
9:38 am
and all this at the age ofjust 17. they committed a sin. i didn't do anything wrong. they caught me and they committed this crime. i have kept my baby. her grandparents are the only family she has left. her parents are missing, presumed dead. she hid inside the house and we didn't tell anybody. nobody saw her. i told her to give the baby away, but she said no. the baby will live according to the will of allah. the numbers are really unclear. the aid agenciesjust don't have precise figures for how many women were raped, how many may have had abortions and how many children could have been born in this situation and then given up. they were prepared for a wave of babies being handed over but that hasn't really materialised.
9:39 am
the numbers so far are small, but they don't know how much this issue may have been suppressed. theyjust don't have the figures, yet. but they are already looking after some newborns, trying to find them new homes as well as supporting mothers. for some of these women, they've had to make the heartbreaking decision to leave behind their babies. agencies like save the children are now providing case management support for those babies in the rohingya community. our biggest fear is that these children will grow up with a stigma attached to them. we know that any child born at this time of year is at risk of that stigma. we are working extremely hard to build in a safety support system for these children so they can grow up with the best possible chance at a healthy life. so many have been marked by sexual violence. this woman says she was set on fire after being assaulted. all these women have stories of rape and beatings,
9:40 am
husbands and children killed. this woman became pregnant but miscarried. she told me she wanted the baby, because her two sons had been murdered. there are lots of similar accounts of the enduring emotional effect. i wish now that i had been killed, she says, my heart breaks thinking about my husband, my children and my parents who are dead. i cry every night into my pillow. translation: my heart aches when i remember what happened. i wantjustice. i'll only go back there if there is justice. translation: when i remember the brutality, i can't breathe, says this woman. the thought of going back there makes me panic. when i try to sleep at night, remember
9:41 am
everything that happened. i can't eat and i feel sick. of course, it's difficult for us, orfor anybody else to check these claims. the burmese military denies any atrocity. the other big unknown is the question ofjustice. whether anyone will actually face investigation, whether anyone will be held to account for these crimes. there is an attempt to collect testimony, to build a case for the international criminal court, but myanmar isn't even signed up to that, isn't covered by that. at the moment, the chances look slim. impact is long—lasting. translation: how could they do such a thing to me? if this didn't happen i would have gotten married and lived a normal life.
9:42 am
but when i see my baby, i just feel love for her. is a third runway at heathrow now inevitable? mps will vote this evening on whether to approve the plans. the government has told its mps to back the the vote. but foreign secretary borisjohnson who has opposed the runway and threatened to lie down in front of bulldozers is out of the country today, conveniently enough. another tory minister, greg hands, quit his post last week so he could vote against expansion. labour is officially opposed to the third runway, but is allowing mps to vote however they want. let's talk to our political guru norman smith at westminster. so, at long last is heathrow going to get the go—ahead? it is almost certain to be voted through by mps tonight. this vote has been put aside for decades. but at long last mps will decide whether they want to back a third runway and
9:43 am
they want to back a third runway and they will almost certainly decide to do that. there are about 80 labour mps who will both with theresa may, and because the tory revolt against and because the tory revolt against a third runway looks like it will be a third runway looks like it will be a lot more muted in part because the putative leader of the tory backlash against the third runway, boris johnson, has gone a wall. no one knows where he is. the transport secretary said this morning he did not know, the foreign office will not know, the foreign office will not tell us, downing street will not tell so not tell us, downing street will not tell. so no one knows where he tell us, so no one knows where he is. many tories think if he cannot be bothered to put his head on the block, why should i? when you put all that together theresa may can be confident of a fairly comfortable winter night, albeit there will still be legal challenges. it is not over yet, although the transport secretary seemed to be playing down the threat from legal challenges. we are - through a process that
9:44 am
is set out in the law of the - in is set out in the law of the land in statute. we have been through and airports commission that recommended this. we have been through detailed analysis, parliamentary scrutiny. my hopeis analysis, parliamentary scrutiny. my hope is that the court will look upon this decision, if indeed it is taken upon this decision, if indeed it is ta ken today, upon this decision, if indeed it is taken today, as something where the elected parliament has taken a view. we stood on a manifesto at the election to say we believe this should happen. we have to be able to ta ke should happen. we have to be able to take big decisions in the interest of the nation. it is a controversial decision, but i believe it is the right one. and splits in the labour party over this as well? jeremy corbyn and john mcdonnell are opposed to the third runway and the official position of the labour party is to oppose it, but there are about 70 labour mps who are determined to back heathrow. that will get it through tonight. but the
9:45 am
real question that still remains over heathrow is if you get all these legal challenges, that slows down the whole process. then is it possible that none of the building work for the third runway will have begun by the time of the next election? if you get a labour government, is it possible that underjeremy corbyn they might still pull the plug on heathrow? although we will get the boat and night, there is still some uncertainty about the legal challenges and what will happen ifjeremy corbyn got into downing street. thank you very much, norman. we hope to talk to john mcdonnell later on in the programme. we can speak to alex vich from the freight transport association who's in westminster now. what is your message to mps ahead of this vote? the message from the companies that we represent and consumers that we deliver two is to vote for this. to vote to support the government's proposal and to crack on and increase our airport
9:46 am
capacity. don't you care about the environment? we absolutely do. how? i have seen this debate go for about ten yea rs i have seen this debate go for about ten years in my working life. if you look at the package of measures the government is opposing, there is of ice both sides. —— compromise on both sides. clean and quieter planes will be in operation which will reduce the impact on residents. in terms of air quality it is crucial. and something all towns and cities in the uk are taking action on and which we support. the last labour government published plans for a third runway in 2003. that was many yea rs third runway in 2003. that was many years ago. if this vote goes through it might be completed by the late 20205. what it might be completed by the late 2020s. what is the impact in your view? i remember the alistair darling white paper. the longest
9:47 am
this goes on, the further we fall behind. heathrow is in the top 20 is globalfreight behind. heathrow is in the top 20 is global freight airports. charles de gaulle is number nine. heathrow is spending back —— going back. will we be the global trading power we aspire to be. this should be delivered before the late 2020s. thank you. in the past few minutes, the first detailed statistics on student suicide havejust been published. in the past, the office for national statistics has simply published an annual total figure based on coroners‘ inquests, but these figures go into a lot more detail. our reporter, chi chi izundu, has been covering the issue of student suicides for some time, she's been looking at the new figures, and is here now. tell us about these figures. they show that overall the number of
9:48 am
student suicides for england and wales is lower than what was expected. in the year ending july 2017 there were 95 student suicides. it is creeping up slightly over a 10—year period but it is still overall pretty low figures. in terms of universities being set up to help their students with mental health issues, are enough of them doing enough? a lot of the universities would say they are doing and. we spent time at different universities like birmingham, they have things like birmingham, they have things like open areas to talk to other peers so students don't feel like they have to go into a clinical setting or have to wait for some professional nhs mental health help which have long waiting lists will stop they also use things like therapy dogs to help people open up. they are trying to get sports clubs
9:49 am
to be more inclusive, to get people to be more inclusive, to get people to open up. they are trying to use a myriad of different efforts to get people to talk, that is the main problem. they are finding a lot of stu d e nts problem. they are finding a lot of students aren't talking and are harbouring problems themselves. and q. john de pury is the mental health policy lead at universities uk, and rosie tressler is the chief exec of the mental health charity student minds. also with us, 20—year—old rebekah dussek, who tried to take her own life in her second term at university. she began university last september. well, thank you. i wonder how you react to these figures for the year tojuly 20 react to these figures for the year to july 2017. react to these figures for the year tojuly 2017. 95 suicides amongst higher education population. tojuly 2017. 95 suicides amongst higher education populationlj tojuly 2017. 95 suicides amongst higher education population. i think thatis higher education population. i think that is 95 too many. there is so
9:50 am
much more that can be done to avoid student suicide. didn't mind is doing a great deal of work —— student mind is doing quite a lot. but more can be done by at universities and young people ourselves to reduce this amongst our peers and ourselves.|j ourselves to reduce this amongst our peers and ourselves. i will ask you more about what universities and stu d e nts more about what universities and students themselves can do in a moment. you started uni in september and had a great first term and it was going well? it was going really well, much better than i thought. over time i felt lower. that is one thing about mental illness, there is not always a cause, any reason why they might start to manifest themselves more strongly. why they might come back after a period of feeling relatively well. over time starting to feel
9:51 am
lower and lower until i got to a low point at the end of this year. which is when you considered taking your own life? yes. the impact on the u of getting to that point? —— on you getting. the impact on the u of getting to that point? -- on you getting. the last few months have been really hard. i have felt really low. i'm just trying to move along from that. i'm going to be not returning to southampton university next year but i'm hoping to move home and go to nottingham university. i am just waiting to hear back from them as i get results on thursday. that is closer to your parents? yes, they have been really supportive, which is what i'm very grateful for. the services i've been able to access in southampton, whilst there have been good things about them, i feel my parents‘ support is the most
9:52 am
valuable. when you compare it to services, my parents have been a lot more, kind of, important in my own recovery. you asked for help at university and there was a drop in centre. yes. but you didn't feel that was enough in the end? the drop—in centre was really good because it happened on it daily basis and it was a first—come first—served programme you could come and have a chat. i used that when i first started you a bit lower and like! when i first started you a bit lower and like i was starting to struggle again. however, after that, there wasn't much else they could offer me because i was basically told that because i was basically told that because my mental health difficulties were quite long term, that i should just go back to my gp and get more specialist support straightaway. let me bring john in. mental health policy lead at universities uk. that is not enough, a drop in centre, is it? i completely agree with rebecca that
9:53 am
95 student suicides is 95 too many. we think every student suicide is preventable. at some point in that move towards suicidality. we are encouraging people to see mental health as a priority for universities. rebecca's experience is significant in other ways. in two respects. firstly, how servicesjoin up respects. firstly, how servicesjoin up around students. that means what universities provide. and how they link with nhs services. we have launched a framework for vice chancellors to really think about how a whole university thinks about mental health. and provides services for students who are getting into difficulties. but also how they link with local nhs services. we have now got half of all our school leavers going into uni. we need to think about them as a significant
9:54 am
population. by launching a framework, that is an implicit acknowledgement that what universities are doing at the moment is just not good enough. for many sectors, this is a generational problem. for many sectors, this is a generational problemlj for many sectors, this is a generational problem. i am just talking what universities and you are the mental health lead at universities uk. there is much more we can do and it is a fair question and we can do more. we are informed by experiences like yours, rebecca but also working with student activist charities like student minds. there is more that we can debate the question is what we do. linking up with nhs services is important but we also need our university leaders to see this as a priority. have they been complacent? i don't think in places it is the right word. what is it then? what we have here is a generational issue with our children and young people and students are part of that difficulty. universities have a particular opportunity... if the leaders of universities are older, i
9:55 am
think that's what you are saying, and not aware that some of their stu d e nts and not aware that some of their students might be experiencing these kind of mental health problems, that is not good. no... again, i would say that your question is the right question. thank you! what's the answer? what we are doing is encouraging university leaders to see this as a priority. we have now adopted it as a national priority. through this strategic framework, we are looking to really improve outcomes for students like rebecca throop services. —— through services. rosie from student minds, have leaders of universities been slow to realise that they owe this duty of care to their students?‘ lot of university leaders are on a journey with this issue. we have been really trying to make sure that their mental health literacy has increased, that they understand what do we mean when we talk about mental health, which is about all of us. what do we mean when we talk about mental ill— health, one
9:56 am
what do we mean when we talk about mental ill—health, one of four of us have experienced mental health difficulties. and where is the best evidence for what can be done for different students along the student journey? our understanding about what is going on is improving. there is something that we know work. as a charity, we just brought out last week some evidence —based resources! support the transition from which support the transition from school into university. they are free and open access. any student can learn what is it that i can do to understand my emotions, what to do when! to understand my emotions, what to do when i need support, what to do if my housemate or the person i play lacrosse with every week starts to get into difficulties? we are encouraging universities... it is a great important time for us to step up, make this a strategic priority, the whole university approach. and students, looking at the experience of unique group of students. where they might experience additional they—might experience additional; and discrimination and pressures and discrimination and make that full commitment. it means
9:57 am
excellent services but prevention as well. what do we do to embed this in the university curriculum so that people have that understanding and can help access help as soon as they needed. —— need it. can help access help as soon as they needed. -- need it. students, themselves, rebecca, what thoughts do you have on how individuals can make themselves more resilient, if i can put it like that? making the most of every support option there is, family, friends, support from services, be it university or external to the university. also trying to surround yourself with the right people in yourself with the right people in your life and positive coping skills that you can adopt yourself. when you are at university, there are a lot of times when you are with other people. and you are out doing fun things or in lectures or having to work at the times i found the
9:58 am
ha rd est were work at the times i found the hardest were definitely the times when i was maybe sometimes in the evenings on my own in my room. and i didn't have many people to talk to. they were the times when i was definitely more vulnerable and more likely to feel lower and have more thoughts about self harm orjust that i didn't want to be here. trying to come up with... especially before you go to university, trying to come up with some positive distractions that you can do on your own as well. i know that students watch this programme, rosie, what would you say to any watching right now who might be struggling with mental health and don't know where to turn? i would say to any student that there is absolutely help available. sometimes it's difficult, when we have lots of focus on this in the media. it's a difficult subject matter. but there is a lot of support. i would encourage dudes to look at their universities'
9:59 am
website, mental health advisers —— i would encourage students to look at. reach out to the university gp service and get registered as soon as they can when they arrive at university. and build on their wider support network. as rebecca said, drawing on your friendships, your friends, your family. having those conversations. it is important that we support those around us. and respond in a non—judgemental and supportive way. that can make the real difference between a student who falls through the gaps and one who falls through the gaps and one who can go on to get the support and private university. —— thrive at university. thank you. and if this has brought up any issues for you when it comes to mental health, you can find details of organisations offering information and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information on 08000155 998. and your own experience, if you are
10:00 am
an undergraduate, if you have experienced mental health problems. and tried to access mental health at um, and tried to access mental health at uni, what was it like were they able to help you? news and sport in a moment. let's get the latest weather update with simon king. john mcdonnell later on in the programme. it was a glorious start to the day. look at this scene from a weather watcher in grimsby. it is going to be pretty hot, with the exception of the far north and north—west of scotla nd the far north and north—west of scotland where a week whether brand brings us cloudy skies. about 13 degrees in shetland. temperature is widely into the 20s, perhaps even 30 degrees in the south—east of england. bear in mind it is strong

june sunshine, so you be levels will be high. this evening and overnight temperatures will be between 9—15. there may be some early morning cloud and missed in eastern areas on tuesday, but otherwise it is a day of clear blue skies and temperatures again into the 20s. goodbye. goodbye. hello, it's monday, it's ten o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire. this programme has learnt that the metropolitan police know the identities of construction workers whose information was fed to a blacklist by undercover cops but won't tell them. they've taken food off my kids' table and i take this personally. we are going to hound the police to make them account for themselves. in the next hour we'll be talking to a crime commissioner about the policy of undercover policing, and this construction worker who wants answers.
10:02 am
mps will decide later on controversial plans to build a third runway at heathrow airport, but is the government facing a last minute struggle to get mps to vote in favour of the expansion? we know there are mps who disagree very strongly. at the end of the day the government has to make a decision and that is what we have done and we are asking parliament to back thatjudgment. and the singer and songwriter tom walker will be with us after the news that the official top 40 singles chart will now include video streaming figures. here'sjoanna in the bbc newsroom with a summary of today's news. mps will decide later
10:03 am
on the government's plans to build a third runway at heathrow airport in a vote that's likely to expose splits in both labour and conservative ranks. the £14—billion project will create 60,000 jobs but opponents say the cost to the environment is too high. the foreign secretary borisjohnson, who's always argued against the runway, is being permitted to miss the vote. labour is giving its mps a free vote on the question. the metropolitan police is refusing to reveal the names of a secret blacklist of construction workers its special branch shared with some of the uk's biggest building companies. more than 3000 people were on the list which was used to prevent workers regarded as troublemakers getting onto sites. an investigation by this programme has revealed that scotland yard knows which workers were affected but are refusing to release a confidential report detailing their names. police injamaica are trying to determine the motive for the killing of a british couple living on the island. the bodies of charlie and gayle anderson, who were both in their seventies, were discovered on friday by neighbours.
10:04 am
they had recently retired to the caribbean from manchester. two men from london, aged 25 and 37, have been arrested in bristol on suspicion of murder. police made the arrests after a man died and two others suffered life—threatening injuries following reports of an aggravated burglary. police say they were called to a property in prewett street and found several people had been assaulted. they say it appears to be an isolated incident but they are asking anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area last night to get in touch. a court will consider later today if the taxi app firm uber is "fit and proper" to hold an operator licence in london. last september, the company was refused permission to renew its licence over concerns about passenger safety. uber has been allowed to continue pending an appeal. 95 higher education students committed suicide in the 12 months tojuly 2017 in england and wales according to a new report the first the first ever detailed statistics on student

10:06 am
britain. i work in a local authority in the children's services. up until two years ago i was inundated with work, but suddenly it stopped. no work, but suddenly it stopped. no work for two years. this breakdown coincided with my resignation from the labour party after 35 use of membership and when ijoined ukip. but i was not able to prove this as potential employers would not provide feedback to my fellow applications. another says, your report on a blacklisting in the building industry which i have worked in all of my life, people should bear in mind the vast majority of blacklisted people were, are, and always will be the main reason for turmoil in this industry. these are the type of people who brought the car industry to its knees. dave says, i do not believe the state employer blacklist is just about the construction trade. i
10:07 am
think it goes further. interesting, we will talk more about it in a moment. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag victoria live and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. here's some sport now with tim. if you didn't know already, england are into the last 16 of the world cup after their biggest win in world cup history. they beat panama by 6—1 in nizhny novgorod. john stones scored the first of his two goals to start things off beforejesse lingard got the third and the pick of them. what an absolute beauty that was. and another day, another three harry kane goals, this time he got a couple of penalties to put away. and got his hatrick off his heel to complete a remarkable day for him and england. we know how many people have been watching at home on a sunday afternoon, so lovely we could give them goals to celebrate. i think they can see what we are trying to
10:08 am
do and the way we are trying to play and the players are enjoying their football. you do not get many opportunities to play in a game like that for england. well, gareth southgate and co have been back at it on the training ground this morning. they landed back in st petersburg last night and are already preparing for the match with belgium on thursday. they already know they'll face one of three sides from this group in the last 16, but it's still wide open after senegal and japan drew 2—2, japan scoring a late equaliser in yekaterinburg. the third possible opponent is colombia. they beat poland 3—0 last night and former chelsea man juan cuadrado got the final goal. the result means poland are out. well, today sees the final round of fixtures in groups a and b. hosts russia face uruguay at 3pm for the right to see who will top group a. later on, cristiano ronaldo will attempt his near single—handed attempt to take portugal

into the last 16, they play iran. that one is on bbc one at 7pm with spain against morocco on bbc four. one other line of football news for you, and the issue of safe standing will be discussed in parliament today. the debate's been called after more than 110,000 people signed a petition. standing has been banned in england's top two divisions since 1989, and the government's current policy is that all—seater stadia are safest. but it has said that the time is right to look again at the issue. it wasn't just the football team who had a memorable sunday, because england's cricketers were superb, too. they wrapped up a 5—0 win over australia in the one—day series, a first—ever whitewash over the aussies in any form of the game. a narrow one—wicket victory at old trafford — thanks tojos buttler and his brilliant, unbeaten century. and the british success continued at the french grand prix, where sebastian vettel crashed
10:10 am
on the very first corner, and lewis hamilton led from start to finish, moving back to the top of the drivers‘ standings. not a bad weekend, was it? i'll be back with more at 10:30am. why won't the metropolitan police release a confidential report that identifies which building workers special branch passed information on to a controversial blacklist of construction workers. it's a question we've been asking the force. this list was used by building firms to keep out workers seen as troublemakers. this programme has been told the police know which workers were targeted but are refusing to tell them. we'll talk more about the impact of this in a moment, first a quick recap on our exclusive story from simon cox. for decades, britain's biggest building companies funded a secret blacklist of workers. and those placed on it couldn't get work on any major construction projects. roy bentham was a successful
10:11 am
carpenter, but after going on strike once, he was put on the list. he spent 16 years on it and it had a massive impact on his life. it ruined it. it ruined it, because, obviously you know i'm trying to get work and i'm doubting myself. i get up every morning if i'm not working and i'm wondering where the nextjob's coming from, for long periods in my life. i was in a very dark place. there were secret files for more than 3,000 construction workers, used to vet builders seen as troublemakers, often for raising safety concerns. it was held at this tiny office in the west midlands, by an agency called the consulting association and funded by 40 of the uk's biggest building firms. the police recently admitted they supplied information to the blacklist, but are refusing to release a confidential report into this.
10:12 am
and some of those affected had suspected this for years. steve acheson was a successful electrician, until he was placed on the blacklist, after raising health and safety concerns. he didn't work for six years. his blacklist file incorrectly said he'd been in the ira and was "a bad egg". a code supposedly used by the security services and the police. you become aware that the state has involved itself. it's supposed to uphold the law, by the way. they are helping these bosses inflict untold damage on thousands of decent people. and yes they've got the state helping them to keep them out of work. passing information on that's completely false, by the way. in a statement, the metropolitan police said its inquiries had established that information was passed by special branch. but we've learned that they've identified the workers on the blacklist affected by this. but they've sat on the information, for years. many of the workers still don't know. this former undercover police officer isn't surprised.
10:13 am
i'd be very surprised if it's not far more for people. the special branch, when i left the special branch which is in 2001, we had hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands upon thousands, of files on individuals. i think the met is worried because it is many hundreds of people i think may be affected by this. the building firms responsible for this were forced to pay over £75 million in legal costs and compensation to over 800 workers. now, they want to know how many of them and others had their lives ruined by police involvement. we asked to speak to the metropolitan police about this. investigated back in 2014 and that further enquiries had established that information on building workers was passed by special branch to the blacklist. it does not answer our question
10:14 am
which is why have you not told people on the list? let's talk now to dave smith who was himself blacklisted and founded a support group for other affected workers, rebecca long—bailey's a labour mp and the party's business spokeswoman and julia mulligan who speaks for the association of police and crime commissioners on transparency. dave smith, the met know and they will not tell you and however many others were blacklisted. why is it important for you to know if special branch spied on you and pass that information to the list? really to getjustice. we information to the list? really to get justice. we have information to the list? really to getjustice. we have been complaining about this, that we had suspicions, from the very start when we saw the blacklist it looked like some information came from the police. when we first mentioned it people looked at us as if we were
10:15 am
conspiracy theorists. but the more we dug into it and research, not with the information provided by the police, but ourselves digging into it, we found it was true and now the police have admitted it. but for there to be just as, people have to be held accountable for their actions. they have acknowledged it and you could hold them to account now. one of the people who sent in a text earlier on today said that we don't think we are the only people. there are police units in this country that spy on people purely because of their politics, not because of crime, no one has accused me when i was working on a building site of committing crime, i was a union safety rap and trying to improve health and safety. i was trying to stop as best is being used on building sites. why they were spying on us building sites. why they were spying on us and had an undercover police officer actually infiltrating the trade union with his union
10:16 am
subscription fees paid for by a bank account set up specifically by special branch... someone needs to be held to account. there is an inquiry going on right now into undercover policing in this country. how much faith do you have in that? laughter surprisingly little if i'm honest. what's happened with the undercover police enquiries, thejudge in charge effectively appears to agree with every single thing the police say, asking for anonymity. and allowing them to... it might be a public inquiry if the police get their way. it will be an inquiry held in private. you don't think it will lead to justice, as you put it? for it to be justice, will lead to justice, as you put it? for it to bejustice, we need will lead to justice, as you put it? for it to be justice, we need to know what is going on. let me bring in rebecca, labour's business spokesperson. what is your reaction to the fact that the police won't
10:17 am
tell individuals if information was passed by special branch to the list? it is absolutely shocking. it highlights the real need for an open and public inquiry into blacklisting, not just and public inquiry into blacklisting, notjust the and public inquiry into blacklisting, not just the actions of the police. we have an inquiry. it has destroyed the lives of families and workers up and down britain for decades. we know a numberof britain for decades. we know a number of these companies settled their legal case in the last few years and publicly apologise. but that doesn't alter the fact that there needs to be an open and transparent investigation into what happened, why it happened and if the police were involved, where their orders came from. what we can do to restore faith in the construction industry. we have a number of firms who acted impeccably and we want to make sure that we bolster that feeling of faith in our construction sector going forward. if the police to release a redacted version of their confidential report into the police involvement in the blacklist
10:18 am
to the inquiry, would that be enough? i still think we need a full public inquiry into blacklisting, notjust in terms of public inquiry into blacklisting, not just in terms of the police's actions but also what is endemic in the industry. we know from speaking to labour colleagues and trade unions that there are still incidents of blacklisting being found. we want to make sure an inquiry shines a light, if you like, and current practices and previous practices, givesjustice to and current practices and previous practices, gives justice to those families who have suffered and make sure that government is provided with the full facts to intimate the course of action to make sure this never course of action to make sure this never happens again. eli police and crime commission and you speak of behalf of the association and crime in terms of transparency. —— police and crime commissioners. how transparent is the net being?m and crime commissioners. how transparent is the net being? it is concerning. i would like to understand the reasons. -- is the much barattin police being? deep my default position is transparency first and that doesn't seem to be happening. can you think of a plausible reason why a force
10:19 am
wouldn't hand over this information to the individuals concerned? they will have some reasons. but my concern. . . will have some reasons. but my concern... can you think of one? my concerns are around whether or not there is a cover—up for people who are still back, for the people who make decisions within the service. it's notjust the metropolitan police it is other forces. you believe they are potentially protecting their own? they may well be. they haven't come out with any specific reasons. we need to understand those. if there are lives put at risk or harm that could be done, they need to explain that but at the moment the lack of transparency around it is concerning and troubling. are you calling on them to release the full details? there might be something in there thatis there might be something in there that is legitimate. the police have... undercover policing is an important part of policing in this country. there may be stuff in there that they need to keep behind closed doors. but we need to understand that. at
10:20 am
the moment, the complete lack of transparency around this is really concerning. i would transparency around this is really concerning. iwould be transparency around this is really concerning. i would be suspicious around people trying to protect themselves. right. you've heard from dave smith that he doesn't have any faith in this inquiry into undercover policing, how do you react to that? you have seen from other inquiries when there is no faith in the chair and no faith in the inquiry there is difficulties. the victims need full confidence in any inquiry and clearly, this isn't the case. there needs to be some work done urgently to look at how thatis work done urgently to look at how that is working. it's been mired in difficulties right from the get go. when you talk to senior officers about it, they look uncomfortable. there are cultural issues. undercover policing is still one of the very secret areas of policing. a lot of strides have been made in transparency over recent years but this is still one of the areas of
10:21 am
policing when they are really relu cta nt. policing when they are really reluctant. is there still a justification for undercover policing in your view? yes, absolutely. you can see there has been undercover work that has led to the apprehension of terrorist suspects. all sorts of different things. it is valuable. the national police chief 's council has put more stringent rules around it. they are tightening up. there is also a specialist commissioner who looks at the practice and the way that the police work in this area. there is stuff going on around it and a lot of it. but there is still, i don't think, a default for transparency and that is what is needed. dave smith, your message, briefly, to the met police today? basically, give us the names. give us the names. they admitted they spied on more than 1000 perfectly democratic peaceful campaign groups. they still won't give us a name. the question about crime. they weren't spying on criminals, they were spying on cnd,
10:22 am
anti—apartheid, the young liberals, the labour party, the green party and trade unions. this isn't about crime. this is about spying on politics. spying on people for their political opinions. realistically, in britain in 2018, if we are going to bea in britain in 2018, if we are going to be a democratic country, that kind of stuff shouldn't be going on. those who have given the orders should be held accountable in a full public inquiry. whether it is undercover police or specifically on blacklisting. thank you. rebecca, before you go, you would expect a question on the big heathrow third ru nway vote question on the big heathrow third runway vote today, as labour's business spokesperson. labour's official position is to vote against that third runway which brings it into conflict with your trade unions who say it will create 60,000 jobs and potentially a £187 billion boost to the economy. that's right. it is a very difficult decision for colleagues to make which is why it
10:23 am
isa colleagues to make which is why it is a free vote for colleagues. who could bowl at the creation of thousands ofjobs could bowl at the creation of thousands of jobs and could bowl at the creation of thousands ofjobs and industrial strategy relations. —— who could bowl at. labour's top team! at the same time, we have set out, as andy mcdonnell has put forward, the four tests we have set out in terms of meeting our climate change commitments, making sure our regions we re commitments, making sure our regions were not detrimentally affected, for example add a few other points, have not been met so far. the government has the opportunity to address those points today and i hope very much that they do so. at the moment, those four tests haven't been met. if labour win the next general election, what would you do to expand their capacity in the south—east of england ? expand their capacity in the south-east of england? of course we support the strategic investment in our airports. and in heathrow, particularly. apart from when it comes to the third runway. what would you do? let me be clear, we don't complete disk at heathrow in terms of bolstering our industrial strategy. it would be an important factor but it has to be done in a very careful and considered way. it
10:24 am
has to be done in a way that doesn't impact detrimentally on our regions. we have to make sure that whatever we do going forward meets our climate change commitments. there are serious concerns over that. we have to make sure that other areas, particularly regions and nations, receive adequate levels of investment as well. we don't think that has been adequately portrayed by government at the moment. they will have the opportunity to come back on those points today. we are certainly not saying we are against heathrow, but we just want to make sure it is done and carried forward ina very sure it is done and carried forward in a very careful and considerate way. thank you. thank you. we have had new figures this morning, which were the first time give us the figures... very sad figures of how many students took
10:25 am
their own lives. in the year tojuly 2000 95. these m essa g es in the year tojuly 2000 95. these messages are from you. “— in the year tojuly 2000 95. these messages are from you. -- july in the year tojuly 2000 95. these messages are from you. —— july 2017. education has put increasing pressure on young people at a younger age. gp's give anti—depressants and the nhs services are poor at best. prevention is better than cure but engaging with counsellors on campus costs money. that's from nikki. the fundamental flaw within the university system is that it is overstretched and on the whole, not fulfilling. once you have been established with a mental health issue, you are politely encouraged to go elsewhere. they are not in the position to fully supporting. ashley says, i think rebecca was incredibly courageous to be on national tv and talked about her attempted suicide. all power to her. i hope that she has a happy life and a good future. still to come: # i will leave the light on
10:26 am
# and i will leave the light on # we'll be talking to singer—songwriter tom walker about the news that the uk singles chart will include the streaming and downloading of music videos in their weekly rundown of hits, for the first time ever. last week, donald trump bowed to pressure, unusually, and reversed the policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. but it turns out that wasn't the start of a new approach to the issue of immigration. last night, the us president took to twitter to call for illegal immigrants to the united states to be deported "with no judges or court cases". people could not be allowed to "invade" the country, he said. and he went on: in less than three weeks, president donald trump will visit
10:27 am
the uk for the first time, since becoming president. some politicians are now calling for the trip to be downgraded or delayed, labour leaderjeremy corbyn amongst them, and religious leaders here have warned about the impact of mr trump's policies. let's talk to rabbi danny rich, the president of a progressive jewish movement called liberaljudaism, who thinks president trump should come and should be challenged on his views when he is over here. alan craig from ukip, a spokesman on childrena and families, he's also a christian who believes donald trump should be welcomed in the uk. and the bishop of burnley, philip north, who thinks the views of trump supporters must not be dismissed. i wonder if i could check with all of you first, if i may, do any of you think that this visit from donald trump should be delayed? the bishop of burnley, first of all?”
10:28 am
don't think it should be delayed. it doesn't help when we cut off voices that we need to hear. we have been host to all source of regimes in this country recently. we had a visit from the saudis, a state visit, despite what they do in yemen. we had a visibly chinese, despite the questions over human rights. he is the president of the united states, legitimately elected. we need to host him in the country in order to actually negotiate some of these positions and discuss where he stands on immigration. we need to let him that his policies are both immoral and dangerous. they are immoral and dangerous. they are immoral because we are supposed to be one human family. monotheism, one god, one human family. where we are citizens is often accident at birth. secondly, his policy on america first is dangerous in the sense that we are in a global world. we have to look and think globally about the movement of 60 million people from one country to another. from rich countries to poor countries that needs to be managed by us all. not by one country saying it is in my
10:29 am
own interest to do capital letter a andl own interest to do capital letter a and i don't carry about the impact it has on other places. every country has a right to protect its borderfrom illegal country has a right to protect its border from illegal immigrant. country has a right to protect its border from illegal immigrantm has. that is true. but there is an international refugee policy. many of the people are fleeing persecution... maybe fleeing persecution... maybe fleeing persecution and may have rights in all sorts of countries. as europe has to come to a collective decision about refugees who arrived at its borders, similarly, the united states has to be responsible and moral to the rest of the world. should the visit be delayed? not at all, we should welcome him as a refreshing, new figure on the world stage. for a start, refreshing, new figure on the world stage. fora start, he is very unusual as a politician, he says what he is going to do and he does it. are you not morally riposte by children being separated from their pa rents ? children being separated from their pa re nts ? let children being separated from their parents? let me finish my point. —— morally repulsed. he puts america first. he said he is going to move
10:30 am
the american embassy tojerusalem and he did. he said he would stop stood stanch the immigration from mexico. he is building the wall and he is. to have a politician who actually does what he says is unusual and we all to welcome him on that sort of basis. the barack the ba rack obama the barack obama and bush administrations refused more immigrations. if you are a human being, you have to have compassion. you cannot be a human being without having compassion, nonetheless a government has to take some sort of policy and we cannot have opened doors to everybody. he said in his election campaign he would close the door on primarily mexicans. specifically i am asking you about the policy that he has reversed in terms of separating parents from children. what did you think about that? the policy has been going on
10:31 am
for years. now it has not. the trump administration the bush administration the bush administration did not separate children from their parents. they did it without separating parents from their children. we have to disagree, it happen under barack obama and under bush, to a much lesser extent of course, but the principle was established, but he has gone about it in a far more dramatic way. that principle was established right back to slavery. it has been an established principle in america, but he is doing it much more bluntly. those are the facts. bishop, they are not, but anyway... you have written about how important it is to understand about what motivated people to vote for donald trump. tell us what you mean. motivated people to vote for donald trump. tell us what you meanm motivated people to vote for donald trump. tell us what you mean. it is chilling listening to what i have just heard, separating children going back to slavery. that is the
10:32 am
problem. some of the trump policies ta ke problem. some of the trump policies take the eye of the ball in terms of the conversation we need to have. i work in lancashire and many communities are expressing concern about the level of immigration. if we do not listen, and policymakers do not respond accordingly, that will lead to tensions in the community. the way we see these extremist policies implemented by the trump regime takes the tension and attention away from listening to voices. i want to think about the identity of working class communities in this country, not having to condemn these appalling policies about separating families. it goes back to slavery, we want to see the dignity and beauty of a human being and try to see things through their eyes. my concern is about what trump is doing is stopping as having a grown—up conversation. is that a fair point?
10:33 am
if you talk about investing, we are talking about fellow human beings, some of whom are unlucky and some of whom are repressed and we need to talk about immigration control without dehumanising people and describing them in that manner. dehumanising people lead eventually to worse consequences of around the world. he did reverse his policy last week? yes, he did, but he still believes in it, but for practical reasons he chose to reverse it. what about the fact judges and reasons he chose to reverse it. what about the factjudges and courts should not be involved in this process ? should not be involved in this process? it used to be a democratic principle that the rule of law applied to everybody and it applies to your own people and those who arrived in society and a decent society has a legal system that is used for everybody. do you not need to use courts to determine who is legal and who is illegal?” to use courts to determine who is legal and who is illegal? i believe in the law and a lot of the things
10:34 am
that donald trump does i am concerned about, i cannot deny it. but to indicate he has to take some tough decision, but we take decisions in this country and we separate children from mothers when the mothers go to prison. the mothers have committed a crime, but the children either innocent bystanders. these tough decisions have to be taken. you cannot look at the television cameras and television screens and see these children without your heart going out to them. he has reversed his policy, but they still have to find ways whereby this mass immigration must be stopped. we have the same issue in this country as well. we wa nt issue in this country as well. we want to stop mass immigration. your heart goes out to people in the camps, but we cannot have opened doors. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme. still to come: are we getting ahead of ourselves or can england go all the way? after a thrilling 6—1win over
10:35 am
panama yesterday, the side are through to the world cup last 16 with a game in hand. and the official chart company has said the streaming and downloading of music videos will be included in the uk singles chart for the first time ever. we will find out wide. time for the latest news, here's joanna the transport secretary chris grayling says he is cautiously optimistic about winning a vote today on the controversial plans for a third runway at heathrow. the £14—billion project will create 60,000 jobs but at a cost to the environment and to regional airports. opponents say the environmental costs in terms of pollution and the
10:36 am
loss of homes is too great. the metropolitan police is refusing to reveal the names of a secret blacklist of construction workers its special branch shared with some of the uk's biggest building companies. more than 3000 people were on the list which was used to prevent workers regarded as troublemakers getting onto sites. an investigation by this programme has revealed that scotland yard knows which workers were affected but are refusing to release a confidential report detailing their names. two men from london, aged 25 and 37, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in police custody. it's after a man died and two others suffered life—threatening injuries during a burglary in bristol this morning. police say they attended a property on prewett street in the city and found several people appear to have been assaulted. they say it appears to be an isolated incident but are urging anyone with concerns to speak to one of the neighbourhood officers. police injamaica are trying to determine the motive
10:37 am
for the killing of a british couple living on the island. the bodies of charlie and gayle anderson, who were both in their seventies, were discovered on friday by neighbours. they had recently retired to the caribbean from manchester. a court will consider later today if the taxi app firm uber is "fit and proper" to hold an operator licence in london. last september, the company was refused permission to renew its licence over concerns about passenger safety. uber has been allowed to continue pending an appeal. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. laura got in touch with us to talk about our report on suicides on campus. laura says, in my first year i was put off campus university
10:38 am
accommodation with four loud boys who drank all the time and another quiet girl who never came out of her room. boys were always slamming. i developed anxiety and depression for the first time in my life. i told the first time in my life. i told the university accommodation services, but they said, you signed the contract and there is nothing they could do. ifelt the contract and there is nothing they could do. i felt so alone and as though i got no pastoral care in my first year. when i look back to the pool, depressed child it makes me very sad to think that could happen to another young person na vely heading off to university. i ended up having to repeat a year, so it costs me not only my mental health, but also an extra £9,000 in jewish and fees. thank you so much, laura, we appreciate it. thank you so much, laura, we appreciate it. here's some sport now with tim. plenty of big stories over the weekend. none more so than england's 6—1victory over panama at the world cup.
10:39 am
captain harry kane scoring a hattrick as his side reach the last 16 with a game to spare. "safe standing" at football grounds will be debated in the commons today, after more than 100,000 people signed a petition. the government's current policy is that all—seater stadia are safest, but have said the "time is right" to look again at the issue. england's cricketers completed their first—ever whitewash over australia in any format — at old trafford last night. jos buttler‘s brilliant century giving them a one—wicket win. and andy murray plays the second match of his comeback in eastbourne this afternoon. his opponent is stan wawrinka, who is another three time grand slam champion on the way back from injury. that's it from me, i'll be on the news channel throughout the day. is a third runway at heathrow now inevitable? mps will vote this evening on whether to approve the plans. the government has told its mps to back the the vote. but foreign secretary borisjohnson who has opposed the runway and threatened to lie down in front of bulldozers is out of the country today,
10:40 am
conveniently enough. labour is officially opposed to the third runway, but is allowing mps to vote however they want. the transport secretary chris grayling is playing down any threat from legal challenges.” grayling is playing down any threat from legal challenges. i am sure someone from legal challenges. i am sure someone will take this process to court, but we are going through a process that is set out in the law of the land in statute. we have been through and airports commission that recommended this. we have been through detailed analysis, consultation, parliamentary scrutiny, and my hope is the court will look upon this decision, if indeed it is taken today, something where the elected parliament has taken a view. we stood on a ma nifesto taken a view. we stood on a manifesto at the election to say we believed this should happen. we have to be able to take big decisions in the interests of the nation. it is a controversial decision but i believe it is right one. desktop to the deputy leader of the
10:41 am
green. is boris johnson desktop to the deputy leader of the green. is borisjohnson a coward for being out of the country? absolutely, he made clear commitments to this when he said he would lie in front of the bulldozers, but he cannot sit in parliament for the debate and it shows how weak the leadership is. personally i feel when politicians make these kind of commitments and do not stand by them, if you bought a product in the country and it did not do what it said it did, you would be able to take that back and get a new one. i believe there have been so many aspects of boris johnson's position where he has failed to deliver on promises and i feel he should stand down. he should resign from the cabinet because he is not in the country to vote against the third runway at heathrow? i feel he is a coward as a result of not attending this, having
10:42 am
given such strong words against it. what do you mean by stand down? stand down from the cabinet following caroline lucas's calls for this as well. why are you against the creation of 60,000 jobs which trade unions say this runway will bring, and potentially billions of pounds of a boost to the british economy? i have been disappointed by the reports i have read that do not talk about the climate impact of this. not only has it got a major climate impact from greenhouse gas emissions, as well as other air pollution, it benefits the richest in society and does not work for everybody. we see our other networks, such as our train networks, such as our train networks, not getting enough investment and as leading to increased capacity there. when we talk about the paris agreement and the commitments we have made there, having something like a third runway
10:43 am
at heathrow fundamentally means we will breach that agreement. right. from the green party's point of view, just to be clear, the threat to the climate that you say will come from building a third runway is more significant than the creation of potentially 60,000 jobs? we can see that investment elsewhere. there can bejob see that investment elsewhere. there can be job creation see that investment elsewhere. there can bejob creation in other areas. fundamentally there are no jobs on a dead planet and if we are working towards keeping our temperature below one point 5 degrees in increases, it should be the aviation sector that is one of the fastest—growing areas of greenhouse gas emissions, if we continue to put money in that and not into other areas to help decarbonise the economy, and we need rapid decarbonisation in almost every other area to try to meet those demands. thank you very much for
10:44 am
talking to us, we appreciate your time. what a super sunday for england fans. the side are through to the last 16 with a game in hand after that 6—1win against panama. england fans across the country and around the world have been reacting commentator: that's a header forjohn stones that's gone in! two goals at the 2018 world cup for harry kane. whistle. oh, how emphatic was that?! lingard. sterling. jesse lingard. jesse lingard! henderson breaks out and puts the ball in.
10:45 am
it's a cross for sterling. and now it's in. number two, forjohn stones. the referee's given it. well, yeah, it's a penalty! oh my god. chuckles. there's the chance for five. same place. loftus—cheek. loftus—cheek‘s shot deflected. harry kane's got another..! piano music: three lions bbc one got 82.9% share of audience
10:46 am
viewing figures while the england game was going on. alison simcock from the football fans embassy is with us, she isn't port vale. we have spoken to karen a number of times from hereford. how was it for you, alison? victoria, it was absolutely amazing. being part of the actual crowd that saw england win 6—1 and raise their world cup hopes again after all these years was just fantastic. i'm hopes again after all these years wasjust fantastic. i'm having hopes again after all these years was just fantastic. i'm having a shiverjust thinking was just fantastic. i'm having a shiver just thinking about was just fantastic. i'm having a shiverjust thinking about it. what about you, karen? it was absolutely crazy, i have a really sore head this morning from all the partying
10:47 am
and celebrations after the match. it was probably one of the best games i've ever seen. i don't think anyone expected us to be 5—0 up at half—time and i am confident we can go all the way and bring it back home. gosh, i worry go all the way and bring it back home. gosh, iworry when go all the way and bring it back home. gosh, i worry when england supporters start saying things like that. it's just... you supporters start saying things like that. it'sjust... you know... there's a long way to go. don't worry, king harry kane will bring it home for us and he will bring back the golden boot. he is absolutely so mentally strong, alison. when he was taking those penalties, the kind of intimidation from the opponents was incredible and he just blocked them out, didn't he? he is so composed and professional, i couldn't think ofa and professional, i couldn't think of a better person. for one of the penalties, one of the other players did ask if he could take it and he said no. his head was in the game. we are not most famous for great penalty takers. it was really nice to watch. as an england supporter, it's quite incredible to feel no
10:48 am
pressure or anxiety before the final group game in a world cup! absolutely. the problem with previous teams is that they've had a lot of pressure on them because as individuals they've been really good. but because a lot of these players are really young, there's not a lot of pressure on them. that actually given them a positive boost. we can see that with performances and results from these games. alison, in terms of england's two performances so far, what sort of message does it send out to england's rivals? i think it sums out the message that we are disciplined, we are prepared, we are disciplined, we are prepared, we are disciplined, we are prepared, we are ready. the heat here is phenomenal. they played amazingly. against the heat, the flies in volgograd, we do look like we could go all the way. that's why everybody is getting carried away. it is a lovely party feeling, lovely atmosphere. a lovely place to be at
10:49 am
this point. do you think gareth southgate should rest, for example, harry kane? in this belgian game against roberto martinez‘s side? harry kane? in this belgian game against roberto martinez's side?” don't think he needs a rest. i think he's well up for the challenge, i would have him in the team. obviously, we are through, but we wa nt to obviously, we are through, but we want to be through and then some, we need to send out a message to all the other teams in the world cup that, actually, we could do this so i would have him on. gareth southgate has said he is going to play some of england's reserves on thursday for the harmony of the group, is that a sensible, karen? absolutely. we have really good players on the bench such as jamie vardy and marcus rashford who deserve to play. interesting, if you finish second it could be an easier route to the final. obviously, we had to maintain our professionalism and we don't want to go out wanting to lose. —— we have to maintain. our
10:50 am
reserves should put in a good performance if they play. what do you think of gareth southgate's waistcoat? impressive. i couldn't believe... i think it dislocated his shoulder. because of the waistcoat, i reckon! laughter it is impressive. hopefully... really impressed. thank you. thank you. if there's a world cup of waistcoats gareth southgate would it. —— would win it. the first uk singles chart was published almost 70 years ago. al martino topped the bill with here in my heart. the music has changed in unrecognisable ways and so have the charts. and from this summer, for the first time ever, they're going to include the streaming and downloading of music videos. it means when you watch a music video on youtube, apple music or spotify it'll contribute to that decades old weekly rundown. the official chart company say it's about recognising the range of ways music fans access their favourite songs.
10:51 am
let's speak now to martin talbot, chief executive of the official charts company and tom walker, who has over a million views for his latest video leave a light on and 100 million streams. thank you. what do you think of this change? i think it's really interesting. people view their music in a lot of different ways, they stream it or they watch it. it's a really good idea and it is modernising the charts as we know it. but what difference would it make to you as an artist? there's a lot of people who view my content on youtube or they view it on spotify and it's nice to open up both ends of the spectrum. and counted l the charts. spectrum. and counted in the charts. which particular artists will benefit? -- count it in the charge. people who are not big on streaming but huge on youtube will benefit and
10:52 am
they will see the results. martin, how big a moment is this in the history of the charts. it is significant. we have been counting audio and consumption, music fans enjoying audio for almost 70 years. for the first and you can video it isa very for the first and you can video it is a very important moment for the charts, significant. why are you doing it now? as tom just said, what we are seeing most recently is two things coming together, artists who are increasingly engaging with visual content is probably in a way we haven't seen since the early 80s when video first came through. when mtv first launched and lots of people were creating videos. we are seeing artists not only creating videos for, in some cases, every album that multiple videos for individual tracks. on the other side, one of the reasons why that has happened, there are many places in which you can now consume those videos. if you go back to the 80s, you couldn't buy individual tracks.
10:53 am
as videos. you could buy them as downloads in certain point in the la st downloads in certain point in the last ten or 15 years. there has been one service, youtube, where you have been able to stream videos. we're now seeing multiple services at multiple places where you can stream music, videos, download videos. because of that, this feels like exactly the right time. how are you going to differentiate between free to view and people who pay a subscription? as you know, we have to use a ratio to equate a stream to a sale because they are in a different order. what is it? in the past different order. what is it? in the pa st we different order. what is it? in the past we have had one ratio for all streams that now we are going to operate premium and slightly down weight ad funded. the reason is because we think it is important to reflect the increased engagement and commitment from somebody who has paid to access that music. how many views via a subscription service will equate to one single sale and
10:54 am
how many on a free video... 604 subscription and 104 ad funded —— 600 four subscription and 100 four ad funded. sorry, 600 for four ad funded. 603 videos would record one sale, understood. what about those who would argue about people who have paid for it compare to free music, it makes the charge less meaningful? that is a view and there are other charts in other markets where they have completely got rid of free streaming completely. we think that free, it is important to include that because there are young people in particular, teenagers who don't have access to credit cards, it is important to reflect that a form of consumption. there is an argument that the rates could be lower. we up weight premium. tom, do you think this will make the
10:55 am
charts more accurate and representative? absolutely. people are just consuming in a totally different way now and it is time to move on. it is time to count people who are watching videos as well as people who are just streaming. this is the modern day we are living in. i am looking at the figures. last year, 40% of music streaming was streaming videos, what difference has that made to the industry? i can't say for sure, to be honest, because i think most of my stuff is streamed. i won't see the results until this is implemented into play. it will be interesting to see how the move does make a difference going forward. when are you going to give us new material, tom. i have an album available for pre—order now and a new single that came out on friday. we look forward to it. thank you, so much, tom. when will we see this new
