and jose mourinho insists he's still the "special one" as manchester united trail in the premier league. 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. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news, moeen ali inspires an england fightback in the fourth test against india in southampton. good evening. an independent review into suspicious deaths and brain injuries at a hospital maternity unit is to be expanded after nearly 20 more families have come forward. they are claiming babies and mothers have died because of blunders

at shrewsbury and telford nhs trust — and that the hospital is failing to learn lessons from what's gone wrong. a year ago, the bbc revealed that the government had ordered an investigation into maternity care relating to 23 cases at the hospital. 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 left the parents bereft. what makes the deaths more unbearable is that the shrewsbury and telford trust often didn't learn lessons. i mean, we've had quite a few scares. and after what happened previously, it is quite hard to get excited. devon and gavin cadwallader are expecting their second baby. theirfirst child should now be eight months. 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 constantly reassured her that everything was fine. it wasn't. after three days in hospital, the couple were 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, in our heads, although it's horrible to say, if something had been wrong with her, we could maybe have dealt with that a little bit more. the feeling that we got is the whole time i was in there, i wasjust a number to them.

it wasjust a bed and no one stopped to think, hang on, this isn't normal for devon. a postmortem failed to find a cause of death, but the couple still have questions. tonight, the trust say the death had been fully investigated, but have offered to meet the family. this latest death, however, raises questions that have swirled around this trust for years. the trust say they are cooperating with the investigation, and that they are being open and transparent with the regulator nhs improvement and that independent experts, the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists, have, in recent months, found improvement in their maternity services. but a number of families have raised questions about how the royal college behaved. last summer, the royal college found significant failings at the trust. the culture of learning from incident investigations was not apparent. managers were required to deal with clinical areas they had no experience with. a lack of staff was a patient safety issue.

but they failed to alert the regulator about any of those concerns. these recommendations are open for all to see and that includes you, me, users of the trust and also the regulators. are you aware of any further fatalities or what might have happened at that trust since then? since that review happened, there may well have been fatalities within that trust, something which the college has deep sympathy for anybody who has lost a baby in the circumstances. kayleigh and colin griffiths lost a daughter due to errors at the trust in 2016. they have been pushing for significant change since as they believe the trust keep making the same mistakes. they tell you they have learned and they tell you they are sorry but, in reality, it's just a statement. and until they can prove to us that they have stopped and the deaths have stopped, we'll keep fighting.

avoidable deaths leave lifelong scars and, in shropshire, the lives of too many families have been blighted by nhs failures. michael, more families coming forward shows the investigation has a way to go. when you speak to these people, what strikes you is the sense of loss and the una nswerable question strikes you is the sense of loss and the unanswerable question why did it happen to us? why didn't the staff do something? why did i not walk out the same healthy baby i walked into the same healthy baby i walked into the hospital with and also what strikes you is the fervent hope otherfamilies do strikes you is the fervent hope other families do not go through the same grief they have gone through that the trust learns lessons and u nfortu nately you that the trust learns lessons and unfortunately you spin forward a few months, couple of years and you see similar errors have occurred at this trust and until the trust can prove

they are compounds and suddenly changed and learn lessons they will remain in the spotlight and families will continue to have concerns about maternity services also the trust do strongly emphasise the services at the moment are safe and good and they say they are improving. when q. the soul legend aretha franklin has been given a star—studded send—off at a funeral ceremony lasting six hours in her home town of detroit. her family and friends were joined by stars such as stevie wonder, smokey robinson and ariana grande, who performed their own tributes to what former us president bill clinton — who was also there — called the voice of a generation, if not the century. our north america correspondent aleem maqbool reports from detroit. # it's marvellous # marvellous #. 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. # it's marvellous #. 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 say their final goodbyes to the queen of soul. i could not sit at home and watch it on television. being here really brings in the real feel of things. her message and what she represented for people who are of african descent in this country, numberone. two, beyond that the music is healing, the music is powerful, the music isjoyful. # marvellous #. in paying their last respects to her before she's laid to rest, the stars and dignitaries who reflected the reach of aretha franklin's impact and a legacy that goes far beyond the music industry alone.

# i'm going up yonder, # i'm going up yonder #. she lived with faith, not without failure but overcoming her failures. she lived with power, not without weakness, but overcoming her weaknesses. i just loved her. in life, aretha sought to fight perceived social injustice and commanded respect. today, on her behalf, the civil rights icon reverend al sharpton demanded the same from the current president. you know on sunday on my show i misspelled "respect" and a lot of y'all, a lot of y'all corrected me. now i want y'all to help me correct president trump, to teach him what it means. cheering

and when i would go to her shows and watch her sing, it would be the best feeling in the world. nothing sounded better to me than the way my grandma sings. her voice made you feel something. you felt every word, every note, every emotion in the songs she sang. her voice brought peace. the world is celebrating you and the world is mourning you and the world is going to miss you. # you make me feel like a natural woman #. there's no doubt the often tough, troubled life of aretha franklin that ultimately yielded such towering achievements, has touched many who came after her,

and while goodbyes are being said today, her legacy will continue to inspire long into the future. 100 pink cadillacs are going to lead the cortege from the church over there to aretha franklin's final resting place but for now, more than six hours, that service is still going on and with those dignitaries that incredible array of stars, the contributions from hundreds of members of the public, this sendoff for the queen of soul really has been one which with music that has been one which with music that has been fit for as many people there, a member of american royalty. ally miller pool, thank you. —— aleem maqbool, thank you. 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. as seen in this cctv footage, the prime suspect was arrested in the spark hill area of birmingham last night. janbaz tarin used to be married to raneem and had been on the run since the killings. today, the family of the two women pay tribute to them. she was my soulmate. we used to... life is just fun around her. that is all i can say. if you are sad, she will make you happy. and if you are happy, she will make you more happy. you can imagine it is not... unless you know her, then you understand what i'm talking about. people who knew her, they have a lot to say about her, more than me.

raneem is the flower of our house. the flower of our life. a very very pretty girl. she had a lot to give to everybody and to the world and to the community. she wanted to study, she wanted to move on in her life. she wanted to raise her son up the best way she could. her mother says the feeling of losing a granddaughter is unimaginable. translation: how i feel is beyond words. beyond description. oh, the children. she had children. 0ne boy is only one and a half years old. a baby. he calls out for her, "mama, mama." he has been looking for her. for a few days, we couldn't even think straight about what we saw, they saw, then trying to revive khaola. and 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 will be an honour for me to stand there for them and to bring justice to them. and to find their killer. their murderer. and make sure no one gets harmed like that ever again. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. 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 42 of its stores, putting 1500 jobs at risk. the company said the move would give it a platform to turn the business around and return it to profitability. it also staves off the immediate threat of administration. the brexit secretary, dominic raab, has given an upbeat assessment of his latest talks in brussels with his eu counterpart michel barnier. he said he was "stubbornly optimistic" that a deal was within reach. adam fleming is in brussels, does it look like there was genuine progress in these talks? believe it or not, the big hold—up is over parmesan cheese, parma ham and polish vodka, why? because brussels wants the uk to replicate the european system that protects some regional european products and stopped being made anywhere else and the british government is not too

sure about signing up it. there are big divisions between the sides about the eu back—up plan for preventing the reintroduction of customs checks on the irish border, a situation michel barnier says is urgent and critical, but where there are big strides being made is in post—brexit cooperation on security and the fight against terrorism and money—laundering, where there are building blocks for agreement although not quite an agreement yet. after the two men had six hours of talks, we are a couple of steps forward , talks, we are a couple of steps forward, no steps backwards and by my calculation, ten more weeks of negotiations to go. thank you. 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 should help both to protect the eagle and expand their numbers. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has been finding out more. a golden eaglet, hidden safely away in its mountain nest, making it a perilous job 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 and it supports a huge amount of research ongoing. 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 their 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'll do the territorial bit, and a bit of hunting. if the cloud comes down and it's raining they're just going to have to sit. they'll find a sheltered crag and just sit it out, really. but that can last for 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's 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 landscape's 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. talks will take place between british and french

fishermen next week, to try to resolve a dispute about scallop dredging in the english channel. it follows clashes on tuesday, when dozens of french boats confronted british vessels off the coast of normandy, claiming they were "pillaging" stocks of the shellfish. britain insists the fishermen are operating within the law. 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". 0ur sports editor dan roan was there. it was a new low, jose 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 loss to spurs, despite the pressure, today the manager remained defiant. i am the manager of one of 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 old, but mourinho's third season in charge at old trafford has been turbulent and at times toxic. his combative style of management sparked tension with united's star player, french world cup player paul pogba. and his relationship with vice—chairman ed woodward is said to have become strained over a lack of new signings. mourinho is the third manager united have turned to in their 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 the 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. a sense that 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? or in yourformation you never spend time reading, for example, hegel? hegel says the truth is in the whole. it's always in the whole that you find the truth. but the truth is that lose on sunday at burnley, where mourinho went on a scouting mission last night, and he could find himself fighting for his job and his status in the game. dan roan, bbc news. cricket, and the fourth test between england and india is evenly poised, after england restricted the visitors to 273

all out in theirfirst innings at southampton. that was mainly due to the bowling of moeen ali, who took five wickets for 63. a century from pujara lifted india's day — he finished unbeaten on 132. at the close england were two without loss in their second innings — 25 runs behind. it's been a big evening for both the england and wales women's football teams — playing in newport. whoever won the game would qualify for next year's world cup in france. from newport, jo currie reports. the hottest ticket in town. these fa ns the hottest ticket in town. these fans have never seen their women's tea m fans have never seen their women's team qualify for a major tournament and while matches against england never normally need extra spice, the winner of this one would seal their place in next summer's world cup. the decision to hold the match here means only 8000 fans will get into

watchet. but supporters were expected to be louder voice. with so much at stake, passion was clearly visible. england thought they silenced wales early on but nikita parris' celebrations were caught short after being found offside. it was a busy night for officials. the wales penalty appeal turned down. this time the replay showed the referee got it right. a change of ends brings a change of pace. toni duggan the first play of this campaign to find the net against wales. minutes later, jill scott scoring with this looping header. all smiles from manager phil neville. england were dreaming of france will stop fitting it was nikita parris who sealed the win. welsh hearts broken but for england, job done. we showed class, possession, we showed we were a top

tea m possession, we showed we were a top team andi possession, we showed we were a top team and i am proud and looking forward to the next 12 months. in a year, england hope to celebrate again. england can look forward to next summer in the knowledge they head to france as one of the favourites. wales, fair world cup dreams hang by a thread they have a nervous wait to see if they have done enough for a play—off place. many of their players, part—time, where they have exceeded expectations in the qualifying campaign and knowing they will never get a better opportunity to reach the tournament. it was banned in cannes as a mere online streaming service, but at the venice film festival, netflix is premiering no fewer than six films. one is a follow—up by oscar—winning director alfonso cuaron to his cinema blockbuster gravity. he's been speaking to our arts editor, will gompertz. alfonso cuaron‘s latest film is a black—and—white cinematic memoir based on his childhood growing up in mexico city in a middle—class family that enjoys the support and love

of domestic worker cleo. in reality this film is about cleo. but, more important, as a woman from a different social class and a different social context, even if she is part of my family than my own family. and racially...? and more important race, and through that the prism to talk about different thematic elements. one of them being this perverse relationship, the relationship that exists between class and race. roma is in competition for the main festival prize, which has proved to be a talking point, because it is being distributed by the streaming service netflix, which, controversially, tends not to give cinemas an exclusive period to show a film before it appears online. why did you decide to go with netflix for distribution? the complexities of today's foreign film market worldwide, and foreign film, i'm talking none in english and none with stars, is very specific.

you don't have the options that you have when you are doing a hollywood film. but you worry, as somebody who loves cinema, that working with streaming companies can end up with people not going to cinemas and watching it at home, instead. people who want to see this film on the big screen, they will have the opportunity to see it on the big screen and, by the same token, i know that there is a whole new generation that they prefer... that rarely go to the cinema. this is the man who decided to allow the streaming services to take part in the festival against the wishes of many cinema owners, who, he says, need to accept and adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of the movie business. no new media killed the older ones. this is an opportunity for them, to try to change the model and the offering to the audience. you can stay there waiting for the audience coming and buying a ticket. it will not happen any more.

you have to convince them to come to a theatre, to find a way to let them understand that coming to a theatre, it's a more rewarding and beautiful experience. whether people see roma online, on the big screen, or not at all, the chances are if the critics‘ positive reactions to it here are anything to go by, is that we will be hearing a lot more about the film is the award season approaches. will gompertz, bbc news, venice. that's all from us. here on bbc one, time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes, here's what's coming up on the programme. moeen inspires an england fightback in the fourth test against india — with a 5—for in southampton. england's women are into the world cup finals at the expense of wales, who will have to hope for a play off place.
