jose mourinho says he'll still be the special one, even if he doesn't win a title at manchester united. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. an independent review into the deaths of babies, of mothers and incidents of brain injuries at a hospital is to be expanded after nearly 20 more families have come forward with concerns about their care. a year ago, the bbc revealed that the government had ordered an investigation into maternity care relating to 23 cases at the shrewsbury and telford nhs trust. the bbc has also found that significant concerns about the trust were not flagged up by experts to the health regulators. this exclusive investigation from michael buchanan.

these children should all be alive, but maternity errors by one nhs trust means they have all died. what makes the deaths more unbearable is that the shrewsbury and telford trust often didn't learn lessons. devon and gavin cadwallader‘s baby should now be eight months old but last december their daughter died in the princess royal hospital in telford. devon had complained to staff that her baby's movements had slowed. the hospital reassured her everything was fine but it wasn't. after three days in hospital, the couple was told their daughter had no heartbeat. in your mind, was your daughter's death preventable? yes. yeah. i mean, even after the

postmortem that we had back, they couldn't find anything to say that there was something wrong with her. i think, there was something wrong with her. ithink, in there was something wrong with her. i think, in our heads, although it's horrible to say, if something had been wrong with her, we could maybe have dealt with it a bit more, but for the results to come back that they couldn't find anything and that she was perfectly healthy, that was even harder to take. a postmortem failed to find a cause of death, but the family still have questions. tonight, the trust says the death had been fully investigated, but they've offered to meet the family. this latest death raises questions that have sprawled around the trust for years. the trust say they are fully cooperating with the review, but family is asking serious questions of that review. last summer, the royal college found significant failings at the trust.

the culture of learning from incident investigations wasn't apparent, managers were required to deal with clinical areas they had no experience with, a lack of staff was a patient safety issue. experience with, a lack of staff was a patient safety issuelj experience with, a lack of staff was a patient safety issue. i believe we did that, providing recommendations, and this trust is definitely making progress, and they have demonstrated that to us. i am confident our review sat in at that trust, which is to increase the safety and quality of care they deliver. this couple lost a daughter due to errors at the trust in 2016 and they have been pushing for significant change since, and they believe the trust keeps making the same mistakes. they tell you they have learned and they are sorry but, in reality, it'sjust are sorry but, in reality, it'sjust a statement, and until they can prove to us that they have stopped and the deaths have stopped, we'll keep fighting. devon and kevin are expecting another baby in october. the child will be born at different trust, but the death of a first

daughter has soured the joy of the upcoming birth. michael, it seems clear the investigation into suspicions of fatal errors at shrewsbury and telford still has some way to go, and women in the area may understandably be worried about giving birth there. indeed, and that's the dilemma in these circumstances. the trust will be keen to point out throughout the investigations that their maternity services are saved, that they are improving and that they are learning lessons but, as we've been reporting, more than a0 families have now come forward, alleging that poor maternity care at this trust between 2000 and 2017 either lead to their child dying or their child being born with avoidable harm, perhaps a brain injury. what has happened in previous years when incidents have been reported to the trust is they've said they had investigated, that they have learned

lessons, and that they've improved care, but the track record of this trust is simply that they haven't improved care, and lawyers and families have highlighted that any number of errors continue to be repeated at the trust. the trust are now saying they are fully investigating every case that is brought to them. they are engaging with families and bringing in outside experts, and that their services are safe. but, until this overwrought coaching review from the nhs regulator is completed, any number of parents in shropshire will continue to have questions. —— until this overarching review. police investigating the murder of a mother and daughter in the west midlands have arrested a 21—year—old man. khaola saleem, who was a9, and raneem 0udeh, who was 22, were stabbed to death outside their home in solihull. 0ur midlands correspondent, seema kotecha, has been talking exclusively to some of their relatives. khaola saleem and raneem 0udeh,

mother and daughter, stabbed to death in the early hours of monday morning. last night, the prime suspect was arrested in the sparkhill area of birmingham. janbaz tarin used to be married to raneem 0udeh and has been on the run since the killings. today, the family of the killings. today, the family of the two women paid tribute to them. she was my soulmate. life is just fun around her, that's all i can say. if you are sad, she'll make you happy. if you are happy, she'll make you more happy. so you can imagine it's not... people who knew her, they have a lot to say about her, more than me. raneem 0udeh is the family of their house, the flower of our life. very, very pretty girl. she had a lot to give to everybody

and to the world and the community. she wanted to study and to get on in her life. she wanted to raise her son up in the best way she could. her mother says the feeling of losing a grand daughter is unimaginable. translation: howl unimaginable. translation: how i feel is beyond words, beyond description. she had children. one boy is only one and a half years old, a baby. he calls out for her, mamma, ma'am. he's been looking for her. for a few days, we couldn't even think straight about what we saw, i saw. and trying to revive khaola. when we arrived, i took my wife into the property and just said, don't look. we can't get that out of our minds. their inner strength, they say, is fuelled by

hope. it would be an honour for me to stand there for them and bring justice to them. and to find their killer, their murder, and make sure nobody gets harmed like that ever again. a man who plotted to kill theresa may in a suicide attack on downing street has beenjailed for life, with a minimum term of 30 years. naa'imur rahman, who's 21, was convicted last month of preparing acts of terrorism. rahman had planned to detonate a bomb at the gates of downing street and then kill theresa may with a knife or gun. the struggling diy retailer homebase has secured the approval of creditors to close a2 of its stores, putting 1,500 jobs at risk. the company said the move would give it a platform to turn the business around and return to profitability. it also staves off the immediate threat of administration. a new study has underlined the crisis facing social care

in england — projecting a big rise over the next 20 years in the number of older people needing round—the—clock care. the over—85s are the fastest growing demographic in the uk, and the number of them needing help through the day to bathe, dress and use the bathroom will almost double to half a million by 2035. they also predict that a million people aged 65 and above will need similar 2a—hour care. the government says reforms to adult social care will be set out in the autumn. danny savage reports. in a park on a sunny hillside in huddersfield this afternoon, this over—60s walking club set out for a stroll. their aim, to live well for longer. i've got a hip replacement and i have to keep walking to make certain it doesn't seize up. as you get older, you can stay at home. you can get to be an old person before you should be an old person. but i think this keeps you a bit younger as well.

the number of over—85s requiring help throughout the day with basic tasks is estimated to almost double to aa6,000 by 2035. what we have to do is try and slow down the progression of dependency at the earliest stages, when we are more likely to be able to do that, because once people need care daily, it's much harder to reverse that. it's something denise, pat and margaret have thought about. they meet every day to walk their dogs. all aged in their 70s, they hope never to have to go into a care home, but that hasn't stopped them thinking about it. they have familiar concerns. you don't go out, you don't smoke and you don't drink and you save up, and then you are expected to spend all your savings on what people, you know, other people have used their money. ifearour numbers are dwindling now. margaret says her daughter

has already adapted her home for life in ten or 15 years. i've had new bathroom, i had the bath is taken out, a walk—in shower. she's also put pipes in so i can have a downstairs loo, in case i ever have to have a bed down there. we have to wait until something goes wrong. they have a trip, a fall, break a hip... mike owns and runs three care homes in north yorkshire. he believes a fundamental change to the way we plan social care is long overdue. if you want the right care, you have to pay for it, and i think people pay a little bit more tax and a bit centrally from the health service as well, and it will make it work in the future. the government have to tackle it, not keep putting it off. we seem as a country to find money for everything else. social care deserves its time now. of course, getting old isn't all bad, but not everyone can rely on relatives for help, so a new plan for elderly care in england is expected from the government this autumn. danny savage, bbc

news, huddersfield. the funeral of soul legend aretha franklin is taking place this evening. her family and friends are being joined by stars such as stevie wonder, jennifer hudson and ariana grande who will perform during the six—hour ceremony. our north america correspondent aleem maqbool is in detroit. aleem, it sounds like an epic sendoff? yes, and you mentioned some of them there, but what an amazing group of people, people like smokey robinson, chaka khan, gladys night, all assembled inside the church behind me, notjust to pay tribute to what many people consider to have been america's greatest ever vocal talent, but also simply to an incredible life. it isa it is a day of giving praise for the

life of a woman who made an unprecedented impact, with her voice and with her soul. a culmination of two weeks of tribute since the passing of aretha franklin. a public that adored her queued for hours to get inside the church, to get a chance to save their final goodbyes to the queen soul. —— the queen of seoul. i couldn't sit at home and watch it on television. being here really brings the real feel of things. what she represented to people of african descent in this country, number one, and beyond that the music is healing, powerful and joyful. to pay last respects to her

before she was laid to rest where style a nd before she was laid to rest where style and dignitaries, reflecting the reach of aretha franklin's impactand a the reach of aretha franklin's impact and a legacy far beyond the music industry alone. tributes came from many mentors, including the grammy award—winning clark sisters. i'm just honoured to celebrate the life of a phenomenal woman, who paved the way for not only myself but artists across the world. the world has celebrated you, and the world has celebrated you, and the world is morning you, and the world is going to miss you. she was a feminist before feminism was popular. she was a civil rights activist when it wasn't popular. she gave us pride, and she gave us a regal bar to reach. there's no doubt

the often tough, troubled life of aretha franklin ultimately yielded such towering achievement, and it has touched many who came after her. although goodbyes are being said today, her legacy will continue to inspire long into the future. our top story this evening: nearly 20 more families have come forward with concerns about the deaths of babies and mothers at shrewsbury and telford nhs trust. and coming up: jose mourinho insists he's still the special one as manchester united trail in the premier league. iam the i am the manager of one of the greatest clubs in the world but i'm also one of the greatest managers in the world. coming up on sportsday on bbc news: moeen ali stars with the ball as england's bowlers fight back in the fourth test against india. it's among the most majestic

and iconic species of wildlife to grace our countryside — and yet the golden eagle is almost entirely restricted to remote parts of scotland. scientists have now unlocked the complete genetic code of this important predator, which will help both to protect the eagle and expand their numbers. our science correspondent victoria gill has been finding out more. a golden eaglet, hidden safely away in its mountain nest. making it a perilousjob to take a dna sample. but a tiny amount of dna is all scientists need to map the genetic code of this great bird of prey. within that code researchers will find clues about the food and habitat they rely on, so that havens for these threatened birds can be found and protected. and where populations are in severe decline, genetic matchmaking could give eagles a better chance to thrive. this is a dna storage freezer.

the same institute that helped sequence the first human genome 15 years ago has now decoded the eagles biological secrets. this allows us to really understand a huge amount about its biology, about the variation between populations, how it survives in the wild, how we can better manage it. it is the blueprint for life, it supports a huge amount of research on going. scotland's rugged mountains are home to just 500 pairs of wild golden eagles. and for conservationists, protecting these endangered birds means watching over them in natural habitat. this is big eagle country, they prefer the inland, the rocky, craggy areas. but it's big, remote country and spotting one is going to be tough. so they've got to take their chances while they can. and if it's good visibility they will do the territorial bit, have a bit of hunting. if the cloud comes down and it's

raining they arejust going to have to sit. they'll find a sheltered crag and just sit it out, really. but that can last days during the winter. even in the best weather in the middle of eagle country, we just have to watch, wait and hope. this is a special, protected site for golden eagles and there are four nesting pairs which is why dave has brought us here. we have a scope, we have the binoculars, we have the long lens, so we willjust keep our fingers crossed because it's big country, so... there is a golden eagle up here now. oh, my word! going along the ridge. oh, wow. these top predators found only in the highlands and islands of scotland are critical to their environment. and conservation biologists are starting to use this genetic blueprint to help select the right birds to release elsewhere in the country. but while this landscapes most majestic residents have given up some very valuable secrets, they remain just as impressive as ever. victoria gill, bbc news, on the isle of mull. just three months before it was due to open,

the launch of europe's biggest infrastructure project — the crossrail line through central london — has been postponed by almost a year. developers say they need more time to test the main section of the link, which is already £600 million over budget. trains are now expected to start running next september. a mother campaigning to have air pollution officially recognised as a cause of her severely asthmatic daughter's death has handed a 100,000—signature petition to the office of the attorney general. ella kissi debrah — who died in 2013 — lived close to one of london's busiest roads, where pollution levels regularly breached legal limits. her mother wants the inquest into ella's death quashed and a new one opened. the brexit secretary, dominic raab, says he's "stubbornly optimistic" about the prospect of a deal with the eu — following his latest round of talks with european officials in brussels. both sides said progress had been made on security and defence issues. but the eu's lead negotiator, michel barnier, says he is still seeking detail from the uk on its plan to avoid a hard border in ireland without which,

there will be no final deal. it's been manchester united's worst start to a premier league season for a quarter of a century, with critics pointing the finger of blame at team bossjose mourinho. but in characteristic style the manager has insisted to reporters he remains "one of the greatest managers in the world". our sports editor dan roan was there. it was an new low, mourinho cutting an isolated figure earlier this week after the worst home defeat of his career. but having demanded more respect after manchester united's 3-0 respect after manchester united's 3—0 loss to spur is, despite the pressure today the manager remains defiant. i am the manager of one of the greatest clubs in the world but iam also the greatest clubs in the world but i am also one of the greatest managers in the world. i won eight titles, i am the only manager in the

world that won italy, spain, and england. it may only be a few games of the mourinho's third season in charge at old trafford has been turbulent and time is toxic. his combative style of management sparked tension with united's star player paul pogba and his relationship with vice chairman edward word is said to have become strained over a lack of new signings. mourinho is the third manager united upturn to in their bid to return this club to the glory yea rs of bid to return this club to the glory years of the sir alex ferguson era. in his first season in charge he won two trophies and was handed a contract extension earlier this year. but this is now the worst start to a premier league season for manchester united for more than a quarter of a century. so what has happened to the special one? mourinho won three premier league titles across two spells at chelsea but it all seems a long time ago.

his reputation was damaged after an outburst at former club doctor eva carneiro led to a bitter legal dispute. eventually he was sacked, the sense he had been overtaken by some of his rivals. but today he defended his record, even turning to philosophy to help make his point. did you read any philosopher, you never spent any time reading, for example a goal, he says the truth is in the the hall. it's always in the hall that you find the truth. mourinho could find himself fighting for a job and his status in the game. now, he's the fastest man on earth but it seems even usain bolt has to prove his fitness. the olympic champion is trying to switch from the track to the football pitch. he's been given the chance to prove himself with the australian side central coast mariners. he came on as a second half

substitute for the last 20 minutes in his team's 6—1win. but afterwards bolt admitted he's still got some way to go to pursuade the club to give him a professional contract. i was a little bit nervous but, as soon as i got on the field, i think the nerves went away. i'm not fit yet, but i've just got to put in the work and get up to speed and to get fit — probably two months for proper fitness — and then to get used to the touches and passes and understand how my team—mates play. in four months, i'll be playing like one of the guys. cricket and england have taken back the initiative in the fourth test against india thanks to moeen ali. he took five wickets for 63 as england restricted india to 273 in theirfirst innings — a lead of 27 runs. adam wild reports. in test cricket, bowling can be an artform. on a picture perfect day in southampton, how england needed their old masters to create something spectacular. stuart broad the first to display his work, trapping rahul leg before wicket. but this was going to take patient,

india also have their experts using strokes with a flourish. now, it was virat kohli in the middle. this took his career total past 6,000 test runs. his wicket, the biggest prize. it eventually went to sam curran. as he departed, pujara pushed on, much to england's frustration. so plenty of endeavour for england, but rewards have been tough to come by, and all the while that slender lead is disappearing. what they really needed was some of that bowling artistry. it came from england's renaissance man, moeen ali, recalled to the side, dazzling ashwin and with the very next ball shami, too. moeen helping to steer this game back to within england's grasp with his fifth wicket. he couldn't stop pujara passing his century, well—deserved. india passing england's total. but, if today was a restoration job for england, it's looking a lot better.
