warmer than in the past. but it's not all about the heat. there has also been a 17% increase in days of heavy rain. and while it may not feel like it at the start of november, researchers say that the number of tropical nights where temperatures don't fall below 20 celsius — or 68 fahrenheit — are also on the increase. in the 30 years between 1960 and 1990, there were just eight. whereas last summer alone there have been two. though tropical nights can have a downside. in periods of very high temperatures they can be a hazard for the elderly, who get no respite from the heat. and though this study has focused on extreme weather conditions, the met office says it's consistent with worldwide trends in global warming, driven primarily by fossil fuels. ben ando, bbc news. time tojoin vicki

time to join vicki in the bbc newsroom for a summary time to join vicki in the bbc newsroom for a summary of the day's news. the former home secretary amber rudd says an official report into the circumstances of her resignation in april shows the home office at the time didn't have a grip on immigration policy. ms rudd stood down at the height of the windrush scandal concerning the government's treatment of post—war caribbean migrants. she wrongly told mps that the home office didn't have targets for immigration removals. the report — by the prime minister's adviser on ministerial standards — says ms rudd wasn't properly supported by officials. speaking to radio 4's today programme ms rudd said she hoped the report would act as a wake up call. the important thing is that changes are made to the home office so that this sort of appalling incident around people like nick and other people i met doesn't happen again. i did put in changes before i left, but what i think it really needs is strong leadership,

transparent procedures, and a much more compassionate approach. and if we get that we will stop this happening again. but you don't think we have that at the moment? i'm not sure, i'm not close to it at the moment, but i hope that this report will act as an incentive and a wake—up call to make sure that those changes are really in place. do you have a sense in all of this... you were leaked about at the time, as well. do you have a sense that this was just incompetence or was there something political, as well? was there an attempt to embarrass you? it certainly felt like the latter, as well, which is always disappointing because i thought i was trying to do the bestjob i could for the people i was serving and that's what you're doing as home secretary, you're serving. but, yes, there were a series of leaks during the past year at quite a high level that were definitely intended to embarrass me. a criminal investigation into allegations of anti—semitic hate crimes within the labour party is under way, according to the metropolitan police. it's come after commissioner cressida dick was handed a dossier

of information by lbc radio. the met says early investigative advice is being sought from the crown prosecution service. a labour spokesperson says the party has a robust system for investigating complaints, and where someone feels they have been a victim of crime, they should report it to the police. britain's high streets are getting unhealthier according to a report looking at 70 major towns and cities. grimsby has been named the unhealthiest — as it has more businesses such as takeaways, gambling shops and tanning salons, and far fewer healthier ones, such as gyms, libraries dentists and coffee shops. edinburgh was named the uk's healthiest, according to the royal society for public health which compiled the study. president trump has ramped up the rhetoric on immigration ahead of tuesday's mid term elections. he says his government is finalising a plan that would mean asylum seekers have to make their claim

at a legal port of entry. currently immigrants can apply for asylum regardless of how they entered the country. the president has already ordered thousands of troops to the border with mexico to counter what he calls an invasion of migrants from central america. lebo diseko reports. donald trump is calling this an invasion. large groups of migrants walking across central america, headed for the united states. president trump says caravans like this one are filled with dangerous and violent people, who injured and attacked their way across mexico. and he says they will not be allowed in. these are tough people in many cases. lot of young strong men, a lot of men that maybe we don't want in our country but again we'll find that out through the legal process. but they've overrun the mexican

police and they've overrun and hurt badly mexican soldiers. so this isn't an innocent group of people. there's a large number of people that are tough. these illegal ca rava ns that are tough. these illegal caravans will not be allowed into the united states and they should turn back now because they are wasting their time. the us is deploying some 15,000 troops to secure its southern border. the president says a comprehensive executive order on immigration will be released next week. he stepped up his anti immigrant rhetoric in recent days, with talk of criminals and violent men, and even the possibility of terrorists among the groups. and then there is this video which donald trump's opponents say is racist. it shows an undocumented migrant convicted of murdering two policeman and the message is clear. let others in and they could do the

same. the advert has received widespread criticism, including from many prominent republicans. but the hostile narrative seems to have done little to deter those on their way translation: i asked him to give people the chance to work. nobody here wants to hurt anyone. our country is poor and there is no security. he's wasting his time in saying this, that we are violent. we haven't hurt anyone and we're going to try to cross to the united states. it's up to god regarding what happens. there are some estimates the caravans are still several weeks from reaching the us, but it's just days until the mid—term elections, with the barons of power in congress will be decided. with all that to play for, it's easy to see why the president has renewed his focus on an issue which resonates with so many voters. hackers appear to have compromised and published private messages

from tens of thousands of facebook accounts. the hackers told the bbc‘s russian service that they had details from a total of 120 million accounts, which they were attempting to sell. facebook said its security had not been compromised, but added it had taken steps to prevent further accounts being affected. the widow of american singer chris cornell is suing his doctor, accusing him of overprescribing drugs that ultimately led to his death. vicki cornell claims dr robert koblin "negligently and repeatedly" prescribed "dangerous" drugs for the soundgarden vocalist — who was found dead in a detroit hotel room last year. his death was ruled a suicide. dr koblin is yet to comment on the claims. security footage from a bus which crashed into a river in china has revealed that the driver was fighting with a passenger moments earlier. the bus plunged off a bridge into the yangtze river in the city of chongqing on sunday — at least 13 people died

and two more are missing. friday afternoon peak—fare restrictions on virgin trains from london euston station will be scrapped from today. services to birmingham, manchester and liverpool are often overcrowded, and passengers have been forced to stand in order to avoid paying much higher peak fares. half of all the people who go to a&e with sports—related injuries are children and teenagers, according to research published in the royal society of medicinejournal. boys aged 1a and girls aged 12 were most at risk of sustaining a sports injury. for boys, playing football, rugby union and rubgy league caused the most fractures while for girls, horse—riding, netball and trampolining were mainly to blame. a baker who took the phrase "royal icing" to the extreme will have her lifesize cake of the duke and duchess

of sussex put on display at an exhibition in birmingham. lara mason spent six weeks crafting the cake ahead of the royal wedding in may. it weighs in at nearly 20 stone, is made from 300 eggs and 50 kilograms of fondant icing. it is covered with chocolate ganache and everything is edible apart from the frames. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. thank you. that is so weird. i wonder if it will ever get eaten. do get in touch with us throughout the morning. use the hashtag #victorialive and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. let's get some sport... john watson is at the bbc sport centre. let's start with gymnastics and a look at simone biles — can we now call her one of the greatest sportswomen of all time?

i think you could say that. we are certainly winning out of things to say about simone biles at the moment and her achievement is setting her apart from the rest. she's achieved what no other gymnast has ever done. she's won for all around each titles at the world championship. her first was in 2013 and she's only 21 years old. the gymnasts take on four apparatus in this event. incredibly the american could afford to make m ista kes the american could afford to make mistakes on the beam, vault and the floor. not that you could tell from that footage! cleanest routine came on the uneven bars, traditionally her wea kest on the uneven bars, traditionally her weakest discipline. there's really nothing this girl can't do, bearing in mind the year she's had. she revealed she suffered sexual abuse at the hands of the us team doctor with the gymnastics team. this was her first international competition since the rio olympics. she had to be admitted to hospital with a kidney stone on the eve of the dulca games. there is more chance for success in the four

individual apparatus to come today. what a complete star. a poignant day yesterday for leicester city and their past and present managers. we heard from claude puel, claudio ranieri was also there. he led the tea m ranieri was also there. he led the team to the incredible triumph two yea rs team to the incredible triumph two years ago. the current manager said the dream will carry on following the dream will carry on following the death of the club's chairman on saturday's helicopter crash. police dyla n saturday's helicopter crash. police dylan rees was laid alongside the son of vichai srivaddhanaprabha. again tomorrow will go ahead and tribute will be paid at the game tomorrow by fans, with fans urged to raise scarves before and during the match. usain bolt his dream may be overfor match. usain bolt his dream may be over for football? is the working incredibly hard. his dream after athletics was to make it

asa dream after athletics was to make it as a professional footballer but they appear to be over after the athletics legend had his trial terminated with the australian side. the club said they couldn't agree a deal with the former sprinter and essentially it all came down to money and the wages that he was demanding. that was the real sticking point. people only have been possible for him to stay on if a third party came in to cover some of that package. his performances in training and the trial matches he's played in in australia proved a huge marketing boost for the club and a number of players have been somewhat hesitant about his chances of making it as hesitant about his chances of making itasa hesitant about his chances of making it as a player. some have questioned his ability, having never played professionally before. his pace was neverin professionally before. his pace was never in doubt but it seems as though for the time being he won't make it as a pro. we know how much he loves football, he's a huge manchester united supporter. if you can't make it in australia i doubt he has a chance of making it in the premier league. that's a shame. thank you very much. you will have noticed... our high streets are changing — and in some cases struggling. in recent years, there's been a rise in fast food businesses,

vape shops and empty outlets. now a league table has been published, ranking 70 of britain's towns and cities by the impact of their high streets on the public‘s health and wellbeing. grimsby in lincolnshire was found to have the greatest number of unhealthy businesses and the least number of health promoting outlets. at the other end of the table was edinburgh, which is said to be the healthiest. the report by the royal society for public health says high streets have an important role to play in developing sustainable communities. it claims residents in areas with the healthiest high streets live two and a half years longer than those with the unhealthiest ones. well, joining us now is sharon allen. we are hoping to talk to her. she willjoin us, we hope, from green stay. she runs a travel agent there. in edinburgh we have terry levinthal from the conservation charity the cockburn association, which works to protect the city. and chief executive for the royal society for public health, shirley cramer.

good morning. good morning. what makes a healthy high street with white what is the criteria you have used? what we did was we looked at what we consider to be health promoting businesses. things like pharmacy, healthy living funds it particularly. obviously leisure centres, people might be surprised that we choose pubs to be in the healthy group of businesses, but that's because they increase social cohesion and they help with keeping communities together. and then obviously shops that are related to museums, art galleries and things like that. they are —— on the unhealthy side, we did a report three years ago and violated payday lenders, bookmakers, tanning salons and fast—food outlets. this year we have added off—licences to that category. we wanted to reflect the

changes we've seen in the high street in the last three years as to healthy and unhealthy businesses. you think there's a link between the high street and life expectancy in the area? actually, we do. we can't say it's causal but we know that where you live, where you work, play, grow up, go to school has a massive effect on your life chances and on your health. so health inequalities is something the government has talked about as part of the social injustices that they wa nt to of the social injustices that they want to see done. we know environment is a really important bot. for example, fast—food outlets, there are five times more in deprived neighbourhoods than in wealthy ones. the same goes for the clustering of bookmakers in the unhealthiest area. the question that would arise is why do the most deprived communities have to have

the most unhealthy environments? we know local government have the heroicjob to try to make the environment more healthy but they have a very difficultjob at the moment because their funding has gone down by about one third and they also don't have all the planning, they are not able to make changes to some of the planning and licensing. let's bring in terry, because, terry, you join us from edinburgh. edinburgh tops the healthy chart. were you surprised by that? no, i'm not, because edinburgh does have a fantastic array across the city. it's notjust of the high street. one of the very unique factors is that it's notjust the central area where you find these things, but there's a whole series of neighbourhoods, clusters and soap neighbourhood centres where you find a huge diversity of typical high street activities. you'll find the

local gp and street activities. you'll find the localgp and pub street activities. you'll find the local gp and pub which you'll find greengrocers and local gp and pub which you'll find greengroce rs and quality local gp and pub which you'll find greengrocers and quality butchers, book—sellers, which i think is interesting to what i help the city is like. it's also a very green city and a walkable city. the nature of it is you can move around quickly without having to travel great distances and meet all your needs on your local doorstep. you obviously describe different neighbourhoods where different things that spring up. in the end is it always fundamentally down to affluence and when a neighbourhood starts to get wealthier, people coming in, that's when independent stores come in and of the stores that might appeal to that clear and tell would start to spring up? i don't think you can dodge that gentrification question when you look at this. it's inevitably that the more disposal income you have the greater the accessibility and diverse options. it doesn't actually have to follow that you have to have a well be

placed to provide those same kind of facilities. sorry, explain that. obviously, you know, it comes down to disposable income when people go on to the high street and decide what to spend their money on. why does it not necessarily follow that it comes down to wealth of residents? a healthy city isn'tjust what you have on the high street, it's about the green spaces you have and the access for mental well—being as well as healthy well—being, places you can visit. it's about having a city where you can walk in between places as opposed to having to get in a car or on a bus, how you integrate all those facilities into a neighbourhood so people can meet their daily needs in as far as they can within a local community. sharon, what about that point? when it comes to the shops that are on different high street, inevitably, the ones that are either in difficult times, for instance in grimsby, where 27% of shops are empty, if you have they pinned ——

vaping shops and betting shops? they are there to make money. the clustering of bookmakers is interesting because one of the reasons there was a big clustering is because the planning law allowed a bookmaker to set up when, say a bank closed, a bookmaker could come in under planning laws. that has now been changed. that's a really significant change because it means that clustering is not allowed and the local authority will have more say over what happens. sometimes it was to do with planning, the reason that businesses went there. of course they were targeting those kind of communities in the same way that in online gambling they often target the most vulnerable. but i agree with terry on the green spaces, the walk ability, and sometimes it's about community aspiration and community leadership.

there are incentives you can use and many local authorities are doing that. if we incentivise people in the empty shops, for example, to set up the empty shops, for example, to set up the the empty shops, for example, to set he pop—up the empty shops, for example, to set op, the empty shops, for example, to set to the empty shops, for example, to set up the pop—up shop, to make it easy for people that they don't have to pay a lot of business rates or much rent, so that you can keep a vibrancy on the high street, that you have benches that older people can sit on, that you have places where people can cluster. we like the fact that there are many more high street coffee shops because those have become community hubs in many areas. it's interesting, the copy shop thing because that's a reflection of the way we are changing. pubs are declining and copy shops coming up. that's what it used to be like elsewhere in europe. it is and it's interesting. you see people on their laptops, working, people on their laptops, working, people with babies, older people meeting friends. that's the kind of place, obviously they are not

selling muffins with lows of sugar m, selling muffins with lows of sugar in, i'm sure some are, but these are the sociability, the sense of bringing communities together is something really important and we reflect that in the report quite a lot. that doesn't mean that our unhealthiest high streets aren't making great steps towards this, but actually sometimes we need to do more to support that and i think central government needs to do a lot more. terry, tell us more about the work the cockburn association does in terms of incentivising people to get involved and bring in the sort of places, the shops that the city wa nts to of places, the shops that the city wants to have. i think one of the key things we bring to the table is a network of organisations from community councils, residents associations, helped to give them a voice. for me, is when you have a silent community, that's when you have problems emerging. if you have a community that is engaged and

interested in what is on its doorstep, it may not always have the tools to do it but, we can help to develop those tools. the community is engaged in what takes place in its neighbourhood, then you have a really good fighting chance to turn around the future. organisations like cockburn can help galvanise public opinion, whether it's through... you know, we can comment on planning applications or advise on planning applications or advise on potential changing to planning laws that have already been outlined in terms of licensing. it's about that civic voice, the community voice, which is so important. we have provided that for the past 143 years in the city and i think the outcome of that has been that engagement in between the community and the civic leadership to try to get a commonality of purpose. we don't always agree, of course not, but if you look around the place like edinburgh and see the qualities that we do enjoy enormously, that is important because there has been a

very engaged community in civic community, not only political but in the community. sharon runs a travel agency in grimsby. thank you for joining us. we had trouble getting you so i'm glad you arejoining us now. how do you feel about grimsby being named as the unhealthiest high—street? being named as the unhealthiest high-street? it's not the first time we've topped a poll like this. i don't agree with it. grimsby is a good place to be at the minute. do we need help? yes, we do. but as far asi we need help? yes, we do. but as far as i held high—street goes, we do have cafes, we do have the library close by, we have museums. we have independent shops. so we have things which are going on. we do have a lot of empty units but i don't think that's typical to grimsby. i think that's typical to grimsby. i think that's a nationwide issue, so to be topping the poll, no, i don't think it's a topping the poll, no, i don't think

it'sa fair topping the poll, no, i don't think it's a fair judgment topping the poll, no, i don't think it's a fairjudgment of what grimsby is like. i'm going to put that straight back to shirley, from the royal society for public health which has come up with this. have you unfairly pegged grimsby at the top of this list? it was based on the data. we took the evidence of what shops weather through the lbc, so it's actually a fair reflection but she is right, it doesn't mean that grimsby is a terrible place to live and that there aren't independent shops but it shows they have more fast—food takeaways, more empty shops. on the indices we looked at, certainly grimsby was up there with walsall, blackpool. 27% of shops... 27% are empty, which is all. white sharon, why do you think 27% of shops are empty in grimsby and what does it feel like on a high—street where one in four shops is empty? i think that's across the whole of grimsby with the empty

shops being looked at. i used to work from home, i had had a travel agency working from home and got the opportunity to take that to the next level and have a freshly place unit ina level and have a freshly place unit in a shopping centre in grimsby. that did us the world of good. the high street is needed. we have great customers that comment is the us and morale does go low in grimsby when we have big department stores potentially closing down. we need a high—street, it is the centre of our community and it's interesting when you talk about a healthy high—street in terms of physical health with lots of takeaway is. i do think the high—street plays a role in the mental health, as well, with a sense of community, bringing people together and getting people to come out and meet for drinks and to do a bit of shopping. it is there in grimsby, it could be better and i think the council are looking at different strategies to help with that. have you had much help? we

we re that. have you had much help? we were talking with terry, who was talking about the importance of the civic voice being heard, of community engagement, getting the support you're talking about to make sure things change and improve. we had incredible support and i'm part ofa had incredible support and i'm part of a business group which is the business hive. they did a competition locally to encourage independent businesses like myself to get on the retail ladder and we entered a dragon '5 den apprentice type competition which we won, which allows us to move into freshly placed with great support financially but also from a business advice perspective, as well. there is help out there in grimsby for people wanting to open shops and that's from our personal experience, anyway. thank you, all, very much. let's us know your thoughts on that come your experiences, what your local high street is like. a criminal investigation has

begun into allegations of anti—semitic hate crimes within the labour party. the metropolitan police are acting on an internal labour party dossier handed to them in september. the complainant alleged that the dossier included evidence of hate crimes. ben wright is in westminster for us. what can you tell us? as you said, this dossier claimed 45 exa m ples of as you said, this dossier claimed 45 examples of anti—semitic comments made online by people the dossier suggested were involved in the labour party somehow. it was passed to the head of cressida dick. she said she would handed on to specialist investigators to see what they made of it. today she confirmed they made of it. today she confirmed they were talking to the cps and considering whether criminal action was possible here. this is what cressida dick said earlier. we're not going to investigate the labour party and we would always wa nt labour party and we would always want and political parties and

similarto be able want and political parties and similar to be able to regulate themselves. however, if somebody passesis themselves. however, if somebody passes is material which they say amounts to a crime, we have a duty to look at that and not just dismiss it. and we have been assessing some material which was passed to me in a radio studio of all things, about two months ago. and we are now investigating some of that material because it appears there may have beena because it appears there may have been a crime committed. cressida dick made it clear she was not investigating the labour party, just examples in this dossier. she has also said before that bar criminality and proving a hit crime has been committed, it is not good enoughjust to has been committed, it is not good enough just to be very offensive. —— hate crime. there is an

investigation under way. this is the reaction from tom watson. if the neti is suggesting there are labour party members being investigated for a hate crime, that isa investigated for a hate crime, that is a further cause for concern. we are strongly committed to rooting out anti—semitism and all races in the labour party. if this announcement does one thing to help us it will be to silence the small numberof us it will be to silence the small number of voices who continue to deny that anti—semitism is a problem on the british left and the british right. we have anti—semitism in the labour party. we have improved measures to deal with that. i don't wa nt measures to deal with that. i don't want them in my party. we want them out. if they are guilty of hate crime we want them investigated and convicted, too. but we need to see the facts. cressida dick said she would not get into the specifics. as tom watson acknowledged, this is clearly uncomfortable for the party. it raises once again the question of the extent to which there is anti—semitism in some quarters of

the labour party and what labour has done about it. thank you very much, ben. still to come: whose face should be on the new £50 note? the bank of england's asking for public nominations. let us know who you think deserves the honour, and why. and finding peace in war torn syria — fresh from his meeting with the foreign secretary last night, we speak to the leader of the white helmets, raed al saleh. time for the latest news. thank you. the former home secretary, amber rudd, says an official report into the circumstances of her resignation in april, shows the home office at the time didn't have a grip on immigration policy. ms rudd stood down at the height of the windrush scandal concerning the government's treatment of post—war caribbean migrants. she wrongly told mps that the home office didn't have targets for immigration removals. the report — by the prime minister's adviser on ministerial standards —

says ms rudd wasn't properly supported by officials. speaking to radio 4's today programme, ms rudd said she hoped the report would act as a wake up call. a criminal investigation into allegations of anti—semitic hate crimes within the labour party is underway, according to the metropolitan police. it's come after commissioner cressida dick was handed a dossier of information by lbc radio. the met says early investigative advice is being sought from the crown prosecution service. a labour spokesperson says the party has a robust system for investigating complaints, and where someone feels they have been a victim of crime, they should report it to the police. britain's high streets are getting unhealthier, according to a report looking at 70 major towns and cities. grimsby has been named the unhealthiest, as it has more businesses such as takeaways, gambling shops and tanning salons, and far fewer healthier ones, such as gyms, libraries, dentists and coffee shops.

edinburgh was named the uk's healthiest, according to the royal society for public health which compiled the study. tracey crouch says she has no regrets about her decision to resign as sports minister over a row about fixed—odds betting terminals. the government was expected to cut the maximum stake from £100 to £2 next april, but this has been postponed until october. ministers say the gambling industry needs more time to adjust. the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, described her decision as "principled and courageous". speaking this morning ms crouch said she was looking forward to being a backbencher again. i have absolutely no regrets about my decision whatsoever. i'm perfectly comfortable with my decision. and i have no further comment to make. thank you. i have

said everything i wanted to say in my statement. i have no further comment to make. the prime minister has an important job comment to make. the prime minister has an importantjob to do and will deliver on brexit. i look forward to being a supportive member of her backbenchers. thank you. hackers appear to have compromised and published private messages from tens of thousands of facebook accounts. the hackers told the bbc‘s russian service they had details from a total of 120 million accounts, which they were attempting to sell. facebook said its security had not been compromised, but added it had taken steps to prevent further accounts being affected. the widow of american singer chris cornell is suing his doctor, accusing him of overprescribing drugs that ultimately led to his death. vicki cornell claims dr robert koblin "negligently and repeatedly" prescribed dangerous drugs for the soundgarden vocalist, who was found dead in a detroit hotel room last year. his death was ruled a suicide. dr koblin is yet to comment on the claims. security footage from

in the mary seacole trust — mary seacole was a jamaican nurse and heroine of the crimean war. and katherine mathieson is chief executive of the british science association roma. welcome all of you. thank you for coming in. it got me looking at the £50 note as it currently is. i guess we don't all see these very often. it has matthew boulton and james watt, leading figures of the industrial revolution. dawn, how important do you think it is when these figures are chosen for the notes ? these figures are chosen for the notes? how much does it make us reflect on our heritage? that is what this is about? i think the process is more important than the actual movement forward with people on the note. this is the first time i have seen a £50 note. most people

in britain will not see them. the conversation is more important. it is important when these things happen to look at how we think about history. instead of just happen to look at how we think about history. instead ofjust choosing a couple of people we may have heard of before hand, i think it is really important to look at people who have an overlooked in history. especially women. peter luff colour. people we re women. peter luff colour. people were not necessarily from the ruling class. —— people of colour. people who have forced massive social change within their own fields. roma, who would you like to see? i'm a big supporter of the merhi caecal campaign but if i was going to pick an engineer, it would be beatrice shilling. she was a motor racer. used to drive bikes and cars. she was born in 1909. she was doing this in the 19305, which was probably quite unladylike at the time, i'm gue55ing. the achievement 5he quite unladylike at the time, i'm gue55ing. the achievement she is well— known for his gue55ing. the achievement she is well—known for his there was an i55ue well—known for his there was an issue with the merlin engines in our

fighter plane5 like the spitfire and the hurricane during the second world war. the pilot5 the hurricane during the second world war. the pilots were doing some particularly convex manoeuvres. the engines would stop. what she did wa5 invent a little piece of metal which went into the engines and stop thi5 which went into the engines and stop this from happening. the reason it wa5 this from happening. the reason it was inevitable i5 this from happening. the reason it was inevitable is because you didn't have to take the place out of commi55ion have to take the place out of commission in order to retrofit a piece of engineering. they called it beatrice shilling'5 orifice, which i5a beatrice shilling'5 orifice, which is a pretty horrific name! i don't know who came up with that. i love her particularly because she was a rebel. any photos you look up on her online... rebel. any photos you look up on her online. .. i love it rebel. any photos you look up on her online... i love it when rebel. any photos you look up on her online. .. i love it when you have a back story on someone like that. she was a woman like anier was but working at a time when it was unusual as you say for somebody to be doing that. how would she have been seen in her time? there would have been very few engineers who we re have been very few engineers who were women at the time. she was a memberof the were women at the time. she was a member of the institute of

mechanical engineers, extremely unu5ual a5 mechanical engineers, extremely unu5ual as well. she was not defined by her marriage, which was interesting. she won an award for attracting a particular track over 100 mph. the story goes 5he attracting a particular track over 100 mph. the story goes she wouldn't marry her future husband until he had matched her achievement. ithink that'5 fanta5tic. had matched her achievement. ithink that's fantastic. what did he do? he wa5 that's fantastic. what did he do? he was also a racing driver and did variou5 was also a racing driver and did various things but he had to go and match her speed on the track before she would marry him. she sounds like a strong contender. roxanne, the mary caecal trust. tell us what you think mary caecal should be on the note? to somebody who had been forgotten in history for almost 100 years and then her resurgence coming backin years and then her resurgence coming back in the early 805, the more you hear about her story. she was born injamaica toajamaican hear about her story. she was born injamaica to a jamaican mother, scott his father. she helped to nurse and became familiar with lots of the soldiers that were stationed

in kingston at the time. she went to the crimea later on. she was one of those women, again we are talking about victorian times, so women didn't have certain rights. and she was able to just make didn't have certain rights. and she was able tojust make a decision and go for what she wanted. she travelled to panama. when she was in panama, trained doctors had run off because of the cholera outbreak. she stayed and treated people. she actually had a baby that had died and her own curiosity, she performed her own autopsy on that child. to see what the cause of death was. to see what the cause of death was. to see what the traits were. that inquisitiveness, that get up and go... she went back to jamaica. she toured the yellow fever there. —— she treated. when she heard about soldiers she had known personally fighting in the crimea she decided, 0k, she needs to be there. she needs

to be of service, she needs to help her boys, as such. she went to england. travelling from jamaica in those days, many months would it take? those days, many months would it take ? that those days, many months would it take? that is whether or might not she could get a passage on the bold to even get to england in the first place. and then approaching the war office to be commissioned to go over to the crimea, which, if people who know her story, know that she was either ignored or refused. she was tenacious. she kept going back. how important is it for us to connect with the stories and these people who had such a profound impact on those around them and obviously further afield as well? you said that from the 80s there has been a sort of resurgence in interest around her. she studied —— she is studied in primary schools. what has led to that sudden resurgence of interest? it started actually with some jamaican, retired jamaican

nurses who were aware of her. she is actually buried in st mary cemetery ona actually buried in st mary cemetery on a horror road. they went to actually go and look at her grave and to find it, tidiest up, get a new headstone made. they approached theirthen mp new headstone made. they approached their then mp because of the fact she had been forgotten and everything she had them. —— she had done for british society in the 19505, it was a shame people were not aware of everything she had done. that is how the resurgence started. she wrote her autobiography in 1857. penguin pitted up and republished it. it is now available. —— pitched up. the wonderful adventures of mrs see cole in many lands. that says it all! let's bringing catherine, chief executive of the british science association. who would you like to see? i am very

supportive of beatrice shilling and mary caecal. what is wonderful about those stories is the things they bring to life are the everyday aspects. the things we can relate to. i would love to see this call for nominations. the thing i am passionate about is wanting people to see science as part of their culture, their society. iwould to see science as part of their culture, their society. i would love people to make suggestions about scientists or mathematicians that they feel they have some connection with. i there are plenty of books anang... there are plenty of books and films about those characters. they were under recognised in their lifetime. we have a sense of wonder to correct the record and see the huge achievements they made. rosalind franklin's x—ray pictures we re rosalind franklin's x—ray pictures were instrumental in determining the structure of dna. the credit was rather given to the men. and mary

hanning, a palaeontologist and fossil collector along the dorset coast, was also rather distant from the accolades that were given to people in science at the time. there are fantastic stories to be told, stories we can all relate to. one of the interesting things about this process is the bank of england will publish the entries that meet the criteria, which is what they did la st criteria, which is what they did last time and hopefully will do again. if you are passionate about a scientist or mathematician in your area, someone you scientist or mathematician in your area, someone you feel sad and influence on your life, somebody like dorothy hodgkin, veldt characterised insulin and vitamin b12, people like that. things we simply take for granted and we do not think of all of that hard work and how ground—breaking it was with these people. and as you say, often they were not even acknowledge that they were not even acknowledge that the time necessarily. this is how to recognise that work. at dawn, is it important this is a woman? we are

talking about women here. do you think that is what it should be?|j think that is what it should be?” think so. at the moment it is still very male. we have got one woman, ignoring the queen who is on the back of everything. i think we do need diversity. history has historically been very white, very male, very anglo centric. we do need to widen that ad. —— hoedt. there is so much about black history and women's history that gets overlooked. because we publish all of the submissions, i think it is really important. especially for women a lot of people haven't heard of. it will prompt people to look into their history and invite submissions. get more people thinking about people. i'm sure before we came here we look that women who were big in our fields and maybe came across people we had not looked into before. it is easy to do a quick search when you... i was

prompted this morning. stephen on e—mail, the ideal and only person who should be on the back of the new £50 note must be reginald joseph mitchell. the aeronautical engineer who created the iconic spitfire. added not been for him we would not have achieved the conquest of the sky during the battle of britain and this world would have fallen into the abyss of a new dark age under nazism. we owe our freedom and rights to the brilliance of this wonderful man. another one on e—mail. edith cavell should be on the new £50 note. when nurses are mentioned everybody thinks about florence nightingale but edith cavell is overlooked. she helped soldiers on both sides and that matter what was done to her she would not give information to the people interrogated her. she was left to die by the british got mad at the time that i think it would be at the time that i think it would be a fitting tribute to her. she was a true heroine. ian on e—mail, sir david —— sir david attenborough. the owner, stephen hawking, obviously.

brilliance, humour, unremarkable —— unmistakable presence, the most brilliant scientist of our life somebody was loved by the public. one anonymous text, in 2018 it is quite obviously should be on the £50 note, my debt —— nye bevan, who founded the nhs. loads of great suggestions. as you all said, it is quite nicejust to suggestions. as you all said, it is quite nice just to think about these people whoever ends up getting it. and just kind of learn what they all achieved. on stephen hawking, he would seem to be quite an obvious popular suggestion. what you all think of that? i think it's a great suggestion. i love the idea of someone suggestion. i love the idea of someone from suggestion. i love the idea of someone from recent suggestion. i love the idea of someone from recent history. a lot of people on our banknotes from a long time ago. he was held in very high affection by the public not only for is brilliant physics but is kind of sense of humour. allowing himself to be used on the simpsons and things like that. and triumph

over adversity. absolutely. he is a hero figure to people who are research scientists living with disabilities. it would send a strong signal. everybody knows who years. it could be used as a tool to look into loads of scientists who have been forgotten. next time we rearranged, get somebody completely different, somebody political. the first woman elected to parliament, caddis markovic. maybe more irish republicans on banknotes. there are a lot of people who are overlooked. even though stephen hawking is loved, we all know who he is and hold him in deep affection but we could look at other people who have been overlooked and help them into the public light. great to talk to you all. six weeks to run. we will find out soon enough. thank you for your messages. keep your suggestions coming in. it's seven years since peaceful

pro—democracy protests against syrian president bashar al—assad escalated into a full—scale deadly civil war. throughout the bloody conflict, which has claimed the lives of at least 350,000 people and seen more than half the population uprooted from their homes, the most high profile humanitarian group in the country has been the white helmets. the volunteer rescue force rose to worldwide prominence putting themselves in direct danger by rescuing civilians from collapsed buildings amid bombings and chemical attacks. but they've been denounced by the syrian government as terrorist supporters. over the summer, 400 volunteers and their families were evacuated from the country by israeli forces — a move described by syria's foreign ministry as a "despicable act" and a "criminal operation". the syrian government see the white helmets as enemies — allies of the west — and they've been subjected to a propaganda campaign by russia, which has linked them to al-qaeda. a netflix documentary following their work won an oscar last year. victoria has been speaking to the group's leader, raed al saleh.

raed was an electrical goods salesman when the war broken out. yesterday, he met the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, who praised his moral courage, adding the uk was "proud" to stand behind the white helmets. what was your life like before? what were you doing before you joined the white helmets? translation: before 2011, i worked in trade. i had nothing to do with voluntary work. in 2012, i worked in camps for the displaced. i co—ordinated transporting the wounded to turkey. i had heard about a training course that trains people in search and rescue and i was sending people on these and i thought, i should go, too. i did a short course where they led us into a dark room and when we came out, they asked us, what did you see? we said we saw nothing and then the instructor put the lights on and we saw people under the rubble. i realised that in order to save lives, there's a big difference between those

who are trained and those who are not. so we completed the course so that we could go back to syria and save our people. why is your organisation necessary? translation: after six years of civil war, the white helmets is not just important, it has become pivotal for the syrian people. it has contributed to saving the lives of 115,000 people from underneath the rubble. it's a witness to the crimes and violations that have been taking place. it's so important because it has given hope to people in syria when they had lost all hope, because they see us saving people and they believe they can survive, too. can you tell us about the white helmets volunteers who were rescued by the israelis this year? translation: it wasn't just the israelis, it was an international operation to rescue these volunteers from certain death, had the russians and syrian regime reached that area where they were along the border

of the golan heights. canada, the uk, france, germany, the netherlands, denmark and other countries took part in this evacuation operation. are some of your volunteers settled in the uk? translation: yes, some volunteers have been resettled in the uk and we hope that they become good ambassadors to this country and that they communicate the message of the white helmets, which is saving lives. as you know, the white helmets have been faced with accusations by russia and syria that you are fake, effectively, that you are staged actors and that you have lied about chemical weapons being used on the syrian people. what do you say to that? translation: russia has even accused us of assassinating sergei skripal, the former russian agent in the uk.

their propaganda is a misinformation campaign to misguid public opinion and sew hatred among people. russia doesn't want the world to know that there are humanitarian organisations that operate in syria in the service of the syrian people. they want to convey a picture of the syrian people as a terrorist community while saying that they are combating terrorism. we have issued reports about the numbers of victims and damage to hospitals at white helmets centres caused by the russian strikes in syria. we find it strange that russia tells the media that the use of chemical weapons in syria must be investigated but then it uses its veto at the united nations seven times in 48 hours to prevent any investigation. is it a failure of the international community that organisations like the white helmets have to exist, and also that there have been multiple chemical attacks on the people of syria? translation: we believe the international community has failed syria since the uprising began in 2011. they have done nothing about the violations that have been

committed with the use of chemical weapons in our country. and because there has been no accountability, this only encourages other dictators to commit similar crimes, just like russia using chemical weapons on british soil. so, do you accept assad can't be defeated, then? translation: there is no such thing as someone who is undefeatable. the fact that assad has not been held accountable shows there is no strong international law to hold him responsible, and it allows other criminals to commit worse atrocities that will probably be far more dangerous to world security. what do you want the international community to do to stop the conflict, to stop the killing in syria? translation: the international community has to have a political conscience rather than just political interest. the syrian tragedy continues because the international

community does nothing. there must be strong international resolutions which are not subject to vetoes from russia or any other country at the un security council. the syrian people cannot continue to live this way. half of the syrian population are now displaced and refugees and in need of humanitarian aid. the syrian people's civilisation goes back 7000 years and we cannot be ruled by a gang of murderers. we urge the international community to hold a tribunal against all those who committed violations in syria. do you want western troops in syria? translation: i said a political solution, not western troops. a political solution that is genuine is only possible through the syrian people themselves. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. simon king has the weekend weather

for us. it's been another cold start to the day and as usual our weather watchers have been sending us lows of photos of the frost this morning, the cars, the grass. just like this one here in cumbria. a nice frosty scene one here in cumbria. a nice frosty scene there on the ground. it's the weather watchers‘ third scene there on the ground. it‘s the weather watchers‘ third birthday this weekend, thank you so much to eve ryo ne this weekend, thank you so much to everyone who sends in those photos. another one from this morning. a lovely clear crisp start to the day and for many through today, quite a quiet weather day because we got this ridge of high pressure which is dominating things at the moment. behind me, this is the remnants of ex—hurricane oscar which has been moving its way further north and eastwards. it will just spin moving its way further north and eastwards. it willjust spin in a bit of cloud across northern ireland and the west of scotland later today. making the sunshine hazy here. should remain dry for much of the day today. the wind gradually picking up, best of the sunshine across england and wales and maximum

temperatures getting up to about nine to 12 celsius. through this evening and tonight, the will continue to move inwards, the wind picking up even further. gusts of 40 to 50 mph in the far north and west. some quite heavy rain through the night across the west of scotland. to the south—east, some clear spells, fairly chilly night. there you can see some of the lighter green where you have the yellows further north—west. temperatures here are seven or eight celsius. just a touch of frost across the far south—east. during saturday, well, this is the area of low pressure, the remnants of hurricane oscar. moving closer to the uk. the white lines, isa buyers, pretty close together. a windy start to saturday with a weather front bringing outbreaks of rain. the rain will gradually work its way south and these woods into north—west england, western areas of wales during the afternoon. eastern part, it will remain dry with sunshine. quite a windy day for all, these are the windy day for all, these are the

wind gusts we‘re expecting to see. 50 to 60 mph in the far north—west, so 50 to 60 mph in the far north—west, so gales here. even in the south—east, a gusty afternoon. temperatures not too bad for the time of year. 12 to 15 celsius but as we go into the evening there will be rain across much of scotland, north—west england, west wales. further south and east it should be largely dry. on sunday, that‘s when you see fireworks and bonfires, parts of northern ireland, wales, the midlands and the south west will see the rain. here on sunday, the rain moving its way into the south—west, pushing north and eastwards into wales, the midlands, parts of northern england. a few spots of rain. the south—east on sunday, dry and bright, much brighterfor sunday, dry and bright, much brighter for scotland and northern ireland. much lighter winds on sunday with temperatures about 12 to 14 degrees. goodbye. hello, it‘s ten o‘clock, i‘m joanna gosling. former home secretary amber rudd was "letdown" by her officials — according to an inquiry into her resignation over the windrush scandal. there were a series of leaks during the past year at quite a high

level that were definitely intended to embarrass me. we‘ll talk to a man who spent six years as a special adviser to former prime minister gordon brown about what it‘s like to advise high—profile politicians. kweku adoboli, the rogue trader convicted of a £1.2 billion banking fraud in 2012 — is facing deportation to ghana on monday. we speak to him — and his mp, who is campaigning for mr adoboli to stay. hackers appear to have published private messages from at least 81,000 facebook users‘ accounts — facebook say its security was not compromised. we‘ll find out how it happened and what you can do to protect yourself. here‘s vicky in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the day‘s news. the former home secretary amber rudd says an official report into the circumstances

of her resignation in april shows the home office at the time didn‘t have a grip on immigration policy. ms rudd stood down at the height of the windrush scandal concerning the government‘s treatment of post—war caribbean migrants. she wrongly told mps that the home office didn‘t have targets for immigration removals. the report — by the prime minister‘s adviser on ministerial standards — says ms rudd wasn‘t properly supported by officials. speaking to radio 4‘s today programme ms rudd said she hoped the report would act as a wake up call. i did put in changes before i left, but what i think it really needs is strong leadership, transparent procedures, and a much more compassionate approach. and if we get that we will stop this happening again. but you don't think we have that at the moment? i‘m not sure, i‘m not close to it at the moment, but i hope that this report will act as an incentive and a wake—up call to make sure that those changes are really in place.

a criminal investigation into allegations of anti—semitic hate crimes within the labour party is under way — according to the metropolitan police. it‘s come after commissioner cressida dick was handed a dossier of information by lbc radio. the met says early investigative advice is being sought from the crown prosecution service. a labour spokesperson says the party has a robust system for investigating complaints, and where someone feels they have been a victim of crime, they should report it to the police. deputy leader tom watson gave his reaction to the announcement. if the met are suggesting that there are labour party members who are being investigated for hate crime, then yet further cause for concern for us. you know, we have strongly committed to rooting out anti—semitism and all racism in the labour party at all levels. and if this announcement today does one thing to help us, it will be to silence the small number of voices who continue to deny that anti—semitism is a problem on the british left

and the british right. we have anti—semitism in the labour party, we‘ve improved our measures to deal with it. i don‘t want any anti—semite in my party. we want them out. and if they are guilty of hate crime, we want them investigated and convicted, too, but we need to see the facts. work to remove the wreckage of the helicopter which crashed near to leicester city‘s stadium is under way. the club‘s owner died along with two members of his staff, the pilot and a passenger when the aircraft came down just after taking off from the king power stadium last saturday. the air accidents investigation branch said it would begin examining parts of the wreckage. britain‘s high streets are getting unhealthier according to a report looking at 70 major towns and cities. grimsby has been named the unhealthiest — as it has more businesses such as takeaways, gambling shops and tanning salons, and far fewer healthier ones, such as gyms, libraries, dentists and coffee shops. edinburgh was named the uk‘s healthiest, according to the royal society for public health which compiled the study. president trump has suggested that

soldiers deployed to the mexican border could shoot migrants who throw stones at them while attempting to cross into the us. mr trump‘s comments come just days ahead of crucial mid—term elections, the result of which will determine the success of the rest of his presidency. he also said he‘s planning to deny asylum to people who enter the united states outside legal ports of entry. speaking at the white house he warned thousands of central americans making their wat to the southern border to turn back. some people call it an invasion. it‘s like an invasion. they have violently overrun the mexican border. we saw that two days ago. these are tough people in many cases. a lot of young men, strong men, and a lot of men that maybe we don‘t want in our country. that‘s a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 10.30. thank you very much, vicky. let‘s

catch up with the sport. simone biles‘ achievements are setting her apart from the rest— she‘s managed what no other gymnast has done before — winning four all around titles at the world championships, amazing herfirst came back in 2013 when she was 16. she could afford to make mistakes on the beam, vault and floor. her clea nest the beam, vault and floor. her cleanest routine came on the uneven bars, traditionally her weakest discipline. in a year in which she revealed she‘s suffered sexual abuse from the us team doctor, this was her first international competition since the rio olympics. she now has 12 world golds. and there‘s chance for more success in the four apparatus finals to come. this is definitely the scariest one than the ones from the past. i wish i could kind of put out a better performance because that‘s not the gymnast that i am, what you guys saw. we all make mistakes and we all

fall and it‘s how you get up and improve yourself. this year has had its ups and downs and going to therapies and other things besides just being in the gym has been a bit rough but you try to focus on one thing at the time to get through it. you can see more action at 1pm. including max whitlock‘s attampting to retain his pommel horse title raheem sterling is on the verge of signing a new contract with manchester city which will make him the highest paid english footballer. the deal is believed to be around £300,000 a week. he was on the bench last night as city won 2—0 against fulham to book their place in the quarter finals of the carabao cup. glasgow city were knocked out of the women‘s champions league following a 3—0 second leg defeat by barcelona. the scottish champions, were 5—0 down from the first leg and two goals from england striker toni duggan, saw the spanish side progress to the quarterfinals. wayne rooney missed a penalty as his dc united side are beaten

in a shoot out and are out of the mls league play—offs — he‘d just been voted player of the month in the states having made the move to washington. and usain bolt‘s hopes of making it as a professional footballer appear to be over after the athletics legend had his trial terminated with the australian a league side central coast mariners. he‘d hoped to make it as footballer since quitting athletics, but the two parties could not agree a deal. the club said they couldn‘t agree a deal with former sprinter — his wages seemingly the sticking point. it would have only been possible if a third party had come in to cover some of the package. his perforamces in training and in the trial matches proved a marketing boost for the club but a number of other players felt he didn‘t have the ability to make it as pro. the two parties going their separate

ways. we wait to see what he‘ll do next. that is all the sport were now. i‘ll have more at 10:30am. see you then. it‘s been six months now since amber rudd resigned from herjob as home secretary. she had wrongly told the home affairs select committee that there were no targets for deportation in the midst of the windrush scandal. now the inquiry into events that lead to her resignation has concluded that the minister had been "letdown" by her own officials. the report said officials gave her the wrong information and that the former home secretary had "not been supported as she should have been". amber rudd spoke to the today programme earlier this morning where she said changes need to be made to the immigration enforcement department of the home office. there are elements in this report that just show that unfortunately that just show that unfortunately that area of the department did not have a grip on what was going on and i hope that there will be changes made as a result of this report so that people get a better service from immigration enforcement. did

the behaviour of your senior civil servants in your view amount to misconduct? well, i'll let other people make their own judgment. the judgment made by the report is that it didn't. there we are, then. do you accept that? i do. the report is fairly conclusive to me, fairly, offensive in the detail it goes into. i regret it didn‘t come out months ago when it was prepared. i can‘t understand why it was sat on for nearly six months but the important thing to me is that as a result of this report, changes are made so that these sort of errors don‘t happen again. made so that these sort of errors don't happen again. you say it was sat on for six months. it was there, was at? you think the report itself was at? you think the report itself was there, entirely completed and haven't gone anywhere. yes, i saw it at the end of may and it took a long time for them to release it. if it doesn't amount to misconduct, two of the civil servants involved have moved. do you feel that enough has

been done to sort out what was pretty obviously a mess at the top of the home office? i think the important thing is that changes are made to the home office so that this sort of appalling incident around people like nick and other people i met doesn‘t happen again. i did put in changes before i left, but what i think it really needs is strong leadership, transparent procedures, and a much more compassionate approach. and if we get that we will stop this happening again. but you don't think we have that at the moment? i‘m not sure, i‘m not close to it at the moment, but i hope that this report will act as an incentive and a wake—up call to make sure that those changes are really in place. do you have a sense in all of this... you were leaked about at the time, as well. do you have a sense that this was just incompetence or was there something political, as well? was there an attempt to embarrass you? it certainly felt like the latter, as well, which is always disappointing because i thought i was trying to do the bestjob i could for the people i was serving and that‘s what you‘re doing as home secretary, you‘re serving.

but, yes, there were a series of leaks during the past year at quite a high level that were definitely intended to embarrass me. we can speak now to michael jacobs — who spent six years as a special adviser to former prime minister gordon brown. he also worked in the treasury department. lord ricketts — who was a national security adviser when david cameron was prime minister. and from 2006 to 2010, he also led the foreign office. thank you both very much forjoining us. this report says amber rudd was let down by her officials. how do you see it? all credit to amber rudd because she did the honourable thing and the deal with the british civil service has long been that civil serva nts service has long been that civil servants give their best professional advice to ministers and if things go wrong, ministers take a hit and responsibility. too often in the last few years ministers have

avoided that and left officials to ta ke avoided that and left officials to take it. they can‘t defend themselves in public. i admire amber rudd for being honourable and i think she emerges from this with real credit. i think it does pose big problems, issues for the home office to answer about how this was handled, whether or not it was misconduct. but they have got to learn lessons from this. they have a massive job to learn lessons from this. they have a massivejob to do learn lessons from this. they have a massive job to do over the coming months with brexit and this tells worrying story about the level of professionalism within the home office. level of professionalism in what sense? deliberately so, orjust inept? not deliberately so, but i'm afraid it was all in the detail of the report. but it sounds like there isa the report. but it sounds like there is a whole litany of things that went wrong, of poor communication will stop so it does sound like the home secretary, at a very difficult sensitive moment, had a level of real professional support she needed. why that happened, i think the home office need to answer. it

doesn‘t feel to me like the problems have yet been sorted out, but i‘m sure there are lessons in this report that the home office should be learning. there are two dimensions do what she was saying this morning. being let down by officials by not getting a proper briefing on something is one thing. when she talks about deliberate lea ks when she talks about deliberate leaks against her that were designed to damage her, that‘s another thing. how do you see that element of this? i don‘t know where she thinks those lea ks were i don‘t know where she thinks those leaks were coming from. i would be very surprised if it was officials leaking against her. leaks tend to come from the political level in government rather than from officials. it may be that leaks were coming from her political opponents elsewhere in the system, rather than from the home office. clearly if they were coming from officials that is extremely bad, as well. the issue for the home office, i think, is why was the minister let down? have they

now corrected that? and given what they are now facing with brexit, i‘d sure the current ministers will get very best level of support they should expect from officials? and, i come back to it, when things go wrong because in life they do, not a lwa ys wrong because in life they do, not always by bad intentions, then the minister takes the rap and resigns and in due course can always thing to come back into a ministerial position. i know you are saying it was the right thing for the minister to ta ke was the right thing for the minister to take the rap, but actually, is it? it would have been completely fairfor her to push it back to it? it would have been completely fair for her to push it back to the civil servants, wouldn‘t it? and to have stayed in post—. civil servants, wouldn‘t it? and to have stayed in post-. as i say, the deal has always been in our system that its ministers who are speaking publicly, ministers who have to defend themselves and their departments in the house of commons. and so when things go wrong, it is ministers who take responsibility. lord carrington resigned over the falklands. nobody suggested the falklands. nobody suggested the falklands was his fault, that he was

responsible for the ministry at the time. he took responsibility and resigns and everybody felt that was an honourable thing to do. i think this can be compared to that. nobody is saying she personally was at fault, but she was the responsible minister. and then the issue is for the home office to sort themselves out, to make sure this doesn‘t happen again. michael, how do you see this? would she be perfectly justified in feeling let down and that she unfairly took the rap? on the very specific case of the question that she answered in the house about deportation targets, it does look like she was given wrong information by her officials, but in the bigger question, she cannot escape. she was expressing sympathy this morning for the windrush victims but she was in charge of that policy. it was a policy she inherited from the previous home secretary, theresa may, for the hostile environment which was intended to provide a hostile

environment for illegal immigrants but inevitably, absolutely inevitably, meant that people who we re inevitably, meant that people who were here legally but who could not provide the papers because they have been here for so long, came under that enormous pressure and, as we know, this has destroyed lives. possibly in some cases quite literally. she was in charge of that policy and both were very specific case we have here about this particular parliamentary answer that she gave, she doesn't appear to have been personally to blame. she really cannot escape responsibility in the wider sense. it's also not true that on targets, removal targets, this was the question, she did not know anything about them. we know because the guardian obtained a letter from head to the prime minister written injanuary 20 head to the prime minister written in january 2017th, before the events of this spring, that she was proposing to theresa may an increase in the percentage of removals, which must mean there were targets because you can only have a percentage if you can only have a percentage if you have a target. there's a very specific case to answer here for the

home office but a much bigger case for amber rudd and theresa may. on the specifics of this, because it was as a result of that briefing in which... to the home affairs select committee in which the wrong information was given. the report specifically says she was not supported as she should have been. how do you think that that changes going forward? that's a very serious charge. in my time in government, and lord ricketts' was much longer asa and lord ricketts' was much longer as a senior civil servants, cases we re as a senior civil servants, cases were officials mislead their own ministers to whom they are accountable and serving, i think i very rare. i certainly never knowingly encountered it and of course ‘ ‘ knowingly encountered it and of course — — but knowingly encountered it and of course —— but i don't think it happened in my time in government and it would have been a really very serious breach of the civil service professional code. i'm surprised that the report today, i haven't seen or

that the report today, i haven't seen or read it myself, i've only seen seen or read it myself, i've only seen the report, it says there was no gross misconduct. because if a minister was misled by his senior officials, particularly about an issue she was then going to parliament about, so this was not just misleading her, but parliament, then that is a very serious breach of the civil service code and i do think, as lord ricketts says, the home office has a case to answer. the deal is ministers take responsibility because they are politically publicly accountable, but we also have to have a system that institutions of the state, of which the home office is very important one, or also institutionally accountable and i do think this calls into very serious question the way the home office works. this is not the first time this has happened. over a decade ago, the labour home secretary came into the department and said not fit for purpose. there is something really ugly wrong, it seems, in the home office, and i do think the civil service, the government as a whole needs to get to grips with it.

how do you think that should be dealt with, the accountability issue? i'm interested in lord ricketts' view as a senior civil servant, which is, when you have a department that looks like it's dysfunctional, is it simply the responsibility of the current minister, and sajid javid has said he will change some practices in the home office, or is there some wider change that can be made when a department seems to have a serial offender in these kinds of cases? i think there is a case now for the civil service and for the home office to review the way it works and i'm interested to know whether there is any mechanism for doing that in practice, other than the latest minister saying we're going to do it. it's not clear that sajid javid has got that, but he changed some of the practices that led to the windrush scandal but whether there are deeper issues going on, we don't know. lord ricketts, your view? well, if the home office is not performing properly for its

ministers, that‘s the responsibility of the permanent secretary in the home office and eventually the cabinet secretary, now marc sidwell, to fix that problem. ministers deserve professional support from the civil servants. i think the issue about, was she misled? barette two ways you can mislead someone. one is simply why not doing a good briefing, being confused, not getting it to her on time, incompetence if you like. another is deliberate. i don‘t think for a moment this is deliberate misleading but for some reason or another she did not get a clear picture. that‘s for the permanent secretary to sort out and we need to do it quickly because the home office faces a myriad of issues coming up on brexit. thank you both very much. coming up... we will be speaking to the convicted rogue traderfighting we will be speaking to the convicted rogue trader fighting deportation to garner on monday, kweku adoboli. we will also hear from garner on monday, kweku adoboli. we will also hearfrom his mp who is supporting him. first... next week america goes to the polls for the mid—term elections.

although for many it‘s a race that‘s all about one man, president donald trump, his name will be nowhere on the ballot paper. instead, americans are electing members of the house of representatives and the senate which together are known as congress, as well as 36 out of 50 state governors. under the us constitution, congress is the part of government that‘s responsible for passing nationwide laws. both houses of congress a re currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump, but the democrats think they can take control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats. doing so would let them block or delay the president‘s plans by refusing to enact them, and could even pave the way to impeachment by those democrats who think trump should be removed from office before the end of his term in 2020. one hot topic in the election is a group of migrants who have fled their homes in south america and are proceeding towards the southern us border in the hope of claiming asylum in the usa. in a move that has been widely criticised, the president has sent thousands of us troops to the border

to intercept the so called "migrant caravan" even though it is still hundreds of miles from the border. yesterday, the president had this warning for migrants who cause trouble at the border. anybody throwing stones, rocks, like they did to mexico and the mexican military, mexican police, where they badly hurt police and soldiers of mexico — we will consider that a firearm. because there‘s not much difference when you get hit in the face with a rock, which, as you know, it was very violent a few days ago, very, very violent, that break—in, it was a break—in of a country. they broke in to mexico. well, to get a flavour of how things are going ahead of this crucial election, i‘m joined by erika miller from republicans overseas, and professor inderjeet parmar, from city university. welcome. do you think the democrats

can take control of congress, what do you think? obviously there is the possibility and if you look at historical norms, the incumbent party is likely to lose seats in the mid—term elections. there is approximately 60% probability according to some analyses, where the democrats will take control. it looks a lot more optimistic in the senate. in the senate there are 35 of the 100 seats up for re—election. the senate, every state has two representatives that go to the senate. they are up for election every six years and they do that purposely to fade out to make sure only a third are up for re—election. you know, each cycle. the whole senate isn‘t up each election. there are 35 seats, 26 of which are democrat incumbent, where they are needing to defend their current

position. 24 democrats and two independence. it looks like the democrats have a much higher battle to ta ke democrats have a much higher battle to take control of the senate. if you look at some of the people who are running, there are a lot of democrats in trump states. you look at states like west virginia, missouri, montana, there are senators who are racing and those we re very senators who are racing and those were very popular trump states. it will be interesting to watch to see how the results come in on tuesday. what are you predicting?” how the results come in on tuesday. what are you predicting? i think the house is really the big battle ground. i think, house is really the big battle ground. ithink, as house is really the big battle ground. i think, as miss miller pointed out, you would expect the incumbent to lose in the mid—term elections because the levels of ten at ten to be quite low for the governing party. ithink at ten to be quite low for the governing party. i think the at ten to be quite low for the governing party. ithink the key issue is the democrats are likely to win, but it's how big is the win? i would say there are predictions they would say there are predictions they would take between 30 and 50 seats

andl would take between 30 and 50 seats and i think that number 30 would take between 30 and 50 seats and i think that number30 is would take between 30 and 50 seats and i think that number 30 is the key one. anything below that is going to be seen as a trump victory. anything above will be seen in a very positive light for the democrats. the indicators are that turnout is looking like it‘s going to be high. who would that they‘ve? in the midterms, this will now begin to favour the incumbent, president trump. the whole idea is that he is wanted to fire up his support base, run as if he's on the ballot even though he isn't. he's held a load of rallies and he's also pressed the key buttons which he knows galvanises voters. one is securitising the idea of the border and visibly putting troops there to try to make a big show of force, of defending america against foreign invaders. the second is birthright citizenship issue, which he says, my executive order will abolish the 14th amendment. both those play very, very well to his particular base and the hearings did the same

kind of things, brett kavanagh. you will know from the mail bombs and the massacre in pittsburgh, he began to lose a bit of momentum. he's trying to win it back with a load of rallies. that's the big issue that will be determined on tuesday. he's pulling out all the stops, erika, because it is so important to his programme of government going forward if he loses control of congress. what impact will it have? absolutely. the republicans control the house, the senate and the executive branch of the presidency. in terms of lawmaking, it makes it easier to work to get things accomplished. if the democrats take control of the house, you are looking at a speaker pulu see again and you are looking at more left driven gridlock and resistance. and stopping any progress being made. you have the democrats that are coming out and they are campaigning, basically on resistance. their m essa g es basically on resistance. their messages are higher taxes, bigger

government, open borders and more socialist style policies that is not in the nature of the threat of the american people. with that type of policy in place, you‘re not going to be getting a whole lot accomplished and they want to reverse the tax cuts that have really put a boom into the american economy. so absolutely, historically, you are looking that the democrats have the advantage to take the house at this moment. will there be a blue wave? that means they will flip 20 seats, i think that would be difficult, given the current economic environment. when you look at where gdp is, 4.2% last quarter, 3.5% this quarter. it is projected to continue to go up. you also look at unemployment combined with that, where you have a record low and employment in 60 years at 3.7%. people are back to work. people at the end of the date vote based on their pocket books and what issues are personally important to them. it will be interesting to watch when

it comes to the house. democrats need to flip the 24th seeds. where will they come? the last time the economics of a wave against the incumbent party were to the strength they are now, you have to look back to 1966 for that type of situation to 1966 for that type of situation to play out. and we all know the electorate now is very different to what it was in the 60s. it will be very —— interesting. thank you both. time for the latest news — here‘s vicki young with the bbc news headlines this morning. thank you, joanna. the former home secretary, amber rudd, says an official report into the circumstances of her resignation in april, shows the home office at the time didn‘t have a grip on immigration policy. ms rudd stood down at the height of the windrush scandal concerning the government‘s treatment of post—war caribbean migrants. she wrongly told mps that the home office didn‘t have targets for immigration removals.

the report — by the prime minister‘s adviser on ministerial standards — says ms rudd wasn‘t properly supported by officials. speaking to radio 4‘s today programme, ms rudd said she hoped the report would act as a wake up call. a criminal investigation into allegations of anti—semitic hate crimes within the labour party is underway, according to the metropolitan police. it‘s come after commissioner cressida dick was handed a dossier of information by lbc radio. the met says early investigative advice is being sought from the crown prosecution service. a labour spokesperson says the party has a robust system for investigating complaints, and where someone feels they have been a victim of crime, they should report it to the police. work to remove the wreckage of the helicopter which crashed near to leicester city‘s stadium is under way. the club‘s owner died, along with two members of his staff, the pilot and a passenger, when the aircraft came down just after taking off from the king power stadium last saturday. the air accidents investigation branch said it would begin examining parts of the wreckage.

a report from the met office says the uk has experienced more weather extremes during the past ten years than in previous decades. the study found that, during the past decade on average, the hottest day of each year in the most recent decade was 0.8 celsius warmer than the previous 30 years. the number of so—called tropical nights — when temperatures stay above 20c — is also increasing. the met office says these changes are consistent with warming driven by human activities. that‘s a summary of the latest bbc news. backed sea, joanna. thank you. here‘s some sport now withjohn. simone biles became the first gymnast to win four all—round titles at the world gymnastics

championships. she could add to that in the individual events today. raheem sterling is on the verge of becoming the highest—paid english footballer in the premier league. he has agreed a five—year deal in the region of £300,000 a week, making him one of the biggest earners in the league. wayne rooney misses a penalty as dc united are beaten in a shoot out. they are out of the mls play—offs. he had just been voted player of the month in the states. and it looks like the dream is over. usain bolt‘s hopes of a professional football career looked dashed after he is released by the australian club, central coast mariners. that is the sport for now. plenty more throughout the day. thank u. a former trader who was convicted of the uk‘s biggest fraud in 2012 says he fears he‘ll be deported to ghana next week. kweku adoboli was born in ghana but left the country when he was four and has lived in the uk since he was 12. he served four years of a seven—year sentence for a £1.4 billion fraud. the home office says it‘s determined to deport foreign nationals

who "abuse our hospitality by committing crimes in the uk". kweku is with us now, along with his girlfriend, alice gray. his campaign to stay in the country has been backed by more than 73,000 people and 132 mps. one of those mps is the snp‘s hannah bardell, who is with us from edinburgh. welcome all of you. cocu, a judge rejected your appeal to stay in this country last week. you are now facing an expected deadline of monday when you think the home office will seek to detain you and deport you. yes, there is confusion around the deadlines for submitting an appeal to the court of appeal from what we think was a very irrational decision last week. however, nevertheless, becausei have been detained before i am deeply concerned that when i go to report on monday in glasgow that i

will be detained again. you say it was an irrational decision. ajudge has evaluated your case. you have fallen foul of the law which says a foreign national given a jail sentence of more than four years will be deported unless there is a strong reason to prevent that happening. thejudge strong reason to prevent that happening. the judge did strong reason to prevent that happening. thejudge did not accept theories any strong reason for you to stay here. yeah, in coming to that decision he called into question the integrity of the evidence, the honesty of my girlfriend, alice, the honesty of my friends and family, the honours —— the honesty of my lawyers etc. he made this very aggressive ruling that i was dishonest and had never. . . that i was dishonest and had never... what he didn't accept was your argument for being allowed to stay in this country being in the public interest because you were committed of that fraud that cost the bank you worked for £1.4

million. he was sentenced to jail for seven years in 2012. since your release you have been campaigning for improving ethical behaviour in business. but thejudge for improving ethical behaviour in business. but the judge did for improving ethical behaviour in business. but thejudge did not accept that what you have done is a strong enough reason for you to be able to stay here. yeah, and it's a shame he made that decision. three judges previous to him at the side of the work was in the public interest and capable of being compelling reasons not to be deported. what he failed to understand was that there is an enlarged community of people in the finance industry and beyond who have all been advocating for a change in the institutions. the work i have been doing with the uk army, the sas, the bank of england, with the foreword institute and other universities in the uk, is directed at those changes. there is a large community of people pushing for the

changes you talk about and improving ethics. you committed a fraud. you are sentenced to jail. that goes com pletely are sentenced to jail. that goes completely against your state is in this country because you are not a british citizen. your birth —— place of birth is ghana. therefore, the law says you should go back. answering that in reverse, i had indefinitely to remain in the uk. the process for becoming, forgetting indefinitely, is pretty much identical to becoming a british citizen. once you get indefinite leave to remain, the next step to become a british citizen is a formality. you literallyjust put in an application. the reason i did not do that was because of work reasons and the fact they could not submit my passport to the passport office because it would stop me from being able to travel for work. what is more important is that the work and this community of people who say it is really important, they represent a group of people who are trying to shift the way we think about our

organisations‘ work. shift the way we think about our organisations' work.” shift the way we think about our organisations' work. i want to bring in hannah bardell. hannah mardell is supporting you. why should he be allowed to stay? firstly, it is important to say we had 136 members of the uk parliament and the scottish parliament that has signed an open letter to the home secretary. we have never had a response to that letter. that letter has been passed to the immigration minister. i have never had a response to my request for a meeting. i have been representing him for the last 18 months. neither i nor quick to would deny wrong has been done. he was a model prisoner and has worked extremely hard to reform the banking system, to be engaged in his community, to give back. i believe, as i'm sure many people do, in the principle of rehabilitation. if we believe the

new principal of rehabilitation we cannot be indiscriminate with its application. we cannot decide that just because somebody has only been here since they were aged 12, only here since they were aged 12, only here for a here since they were aged 12, only here fora certain here since they were aged 12, only here for a certain amount of time, that they can't be of good use and contribute to the society. his home is in scotland, it is in the uk. that is where he should stay. there are serious ethical issues like the windows scandal. the rule is clear. ifa windows scandal. the rule is clear. if a foreign national has a jail sentence of more than four years he will be deported unless there is a strong reason to prevent that happening. absolutely. we must have rules. but we also must have discretion in the system. sorry, there is discretion. thejudge has looked at it and said i don‘t accept there is a strong enough reason in there is a strong enough reason in the public interest in this case. absolutely. and i think he is wrong. and so do many hundreds of other

people who have made representation on craig cooke's behar. —— behalf. the home office of benefit directly from his experience. you only need to opena from his experience. you only need to open a paper to see we are heading for another financial crisis. we have somebody with specific expertise and wants to use that expertise for good. i cannot understand why the home office and thatjudge in particular could not see the opportunity that they have... see the opportunity that they have. . . the see the opportunity that they have... the judge said you can do that work via the internet. that is simply not the case. why couldn't you carry on doing that work? this is the same way in which the home office says you can run a family through skype or video conferencing. you can‘t run a real relationship via the internet. the work i have done has required me to build real

relationships of trust over time with a number of people. for example, when i went to the sas for three days to do their office development programme, in august, four days before i was detained last time, we spent three days together. in order to deal with the issues that we are talking about, leadership, learning from failure, taking risk in the grey zone, in order to do that you have to build trust. it is hard to do that when you‘re not part of the community, when you have been expelled. and without the support network of your friends and family in the community. it's friends and family in the community. it‘s very, again, i think it‘s irrational to say that you can run a business relationship or any relationship via skype when you have been expelled from that community. we are getting texts. one says the gentleman convicted of fraud should be deported, absolutely. the country needs to send a clear message to criminals and criminal behaviour.

and another says he should be deported, why is he still here? it's a shame that people feel that. i think they don‘t understand who i am. and what happened. they don‘t understand what happened at eps was because of the context in which we we re because of the context in which we were working, the pressure we were under and the fact i never had an intent to make a game for myself. you want to dallas to be with you. alice is your partner. you are facing deportation. —— you wanted alice. what will you do? we take each day as it comes. you don‘t look at your death and plan for the moment after your death. we hope that our voice will be heard. and that our voice will be heard. and that compassion will be shown so we can get past monday and take each day after that. alice‘s father is really ill, so it‘s hard for her not to be with him. if this happens, what happens is you break a relationship, you break a family. it

is not just my relationship, you break a family. it is notjust my relationship with alice that is at stake. i have seven godchildren in the uk, friends i have known from the age of 12, all of whom i will never see again. my identity as a british person, even though i have not got a passport, will be erased. thank you. suicide is the leading cause of death amongst women who die within a year of giving birth in the uk and ireland. one leading report found around 20 out of 120 deaths of women between the periods of six weeks and one year after pregnancy was due to suicide. that‘s one in six deaths. bronagh was one of those women, and this is her story. i knew the whole day, i knew something was wrong. ijust knew she was dead, i can‘t explain it. and then i tried calling her and messaging herand i went on facebook and she hadn't been active in i think it said five hours. i went, that's really weird, because bronagh was glued to her phone. just before christmas, she went and saw her gp and she asked her gp

for antidepressants. and the gp wouldn‘t give her them. so alarm bells really should have started ringing there, saying, why is this new mum coming to me asking for antidepressants? i told the social worker that bronagh had told me that she had went so far as to try and take her own life. so many people were involved in bronagh‘s care, how did they not pick up, how did they not do something to help her? she knew that she couldn‘t cope with thea on her own.

she told me that, she said it‘s too hard. and because so many people had drilled it into her that she couldn‘t be on her own with thea and that she was a danger to the baby, she wasn‘t comfortable even lifting her or touching her because she was afraid of hurting her. every time i saw her, all she wanted to do was talk about thea and how it really bothered her that she couldn't just sit with thea. and it was really, really sad. yeah. you have now got this baby that should bring you so muchjoy, and she does, i‘m not saying she doesn‘t, but where you should be happy with the things that she‘s doing, you‘re looking at her, thinking, like, bronagh would love that.

at least 81,000 facebook users have had their private messages published online. hackers told the bbc russian service that they had details from 120 million accounts, which they were trying to sell — though there are reasons to be sceptical of that figure. private messages which had been published included a chat about a recent depeche mode concert, an intimate correspondence between two lovers, and even complaints about a son—in—law. well, with me now is dr richard gold who is head of security engineering at digital shadows, the cyber—security company which looked into the hackers‘ claims on behalf of the bbc. also, emily orton, director at darktrace — a global artificial intelligence company working with organisations to defend their systems against cyber threats. and from moscow, andrey soshnikov, a social media journalist at the bbc russian service. welcome. richard, tell us more about

what you find about what has been going on? we managed to get hold of this data provided to us. we had a look through it. it was a collection ofa number of look through it. it was a collection of a number of facebook account and it contained in a very easy to see, nicely packaged format, all of the face by —— facebook data associated with these people, including private messages. it was separated out by geography so we could see the majority of the accounts were from the ukraine and russia. also, other nationalities such as brazil and the uk. whatmore with the motivation be behind a large scale hack like this? gashed —— what would the motivation be. we received the link to this website from a mysterious source. we

don't know the name of the source. but it is definitely not the source who published all of this act information. after that we contacted to the hackers who had been selling the messages and they said the only reason they published this on a general segment of the internet is because they wanted to sell it. they we re because they wanted to sell it. they were desperately trying to find a buyer. they called their archive, cambridge analytica archive, the company that was involved in gathering facebook data before, but in fact they have no connection with it. they are just trying to sell this data. that is the only reason why they have been talking to us. richard, who would buy it and why? there are a variety of reasons. people tend to share a lot on

facebook, especially private messages. people may share information that they would normally not consider publishing on a standard facebook feed. there may be financial information, personal information, very personal information, very personal information which may be used for blackmail or extortion. there could bea blackmail or extortion. there could be a variety of criminal usages. there is also the potential for a political angle. emily, how to stop this happening? that is the big question are times in many senses. i think dealing online at doing transactions online, there are two sides to that conversation. we were logged into various accounts, banking and social media, and we have the assumption that the security is dealt with on that side. we arrived to hold these companies accountable. there is more they need to do to protect data. that is going way beyond the traditional
