hello, it's tuesday, it's ten o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire. earlier this year we brought the exclusive news that a second british woman had died after undergoing brazilian butt lift surgery abroad. now we can report for the first time that she was a 49—year—old woman from the west midlands called tryce harry, and she died in a hungarian clinic. the inquest into her death begins today. we will bring you the details in the next few minutes. our second exclusive story today — we can reveal more than 500 children have been refused british citizenship because of things like shoplifting and fights at school. i feel so completely removed from that lost, sad 13—year—old. i'm in my 20s, i have a good job and i'm a good person. it's been a huge price to pay, and until i get my citizenship, i will feel like i'm being punished for it. we'll bring you the story in five minutes. campaigners say the controversial policy is just cruel, but what do you think about the practice?

and from 3d printed bionic arms — like the one dan here uses — to an mot for the bacteria in your gut, we find out about the tech innovations which could be transforming your life in 2019. hello, welcome to the programme. we're live until 11 this morning. we really want your experience today of how schools treat your child if they have special education needs. report today says thousands are being off—rolled — effectively heads suggesting the pupil should be educated elsewhere. so what has been your experience — how's your child, if they have special educational needs, been treated at mainstream school? do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about — use the hashtag #victorialive.

the transport secretary, chris grayling, should take some responsibility for the chaos around the introduction of new rail timetables earlier this year, according to a report by mps. mr grayling has apologised for the disruption faced by hundreds of thousands of passengers on northern and govia thameslink routes in may, but has said he was given reassurance by train company bosses only days before. the transport select committee says genuine change is now needed to restore trust in the railways. the group that represents rail operators in britain, said lessons had been learnt. we need to look at the plumbing of the industry, how the architecture is working, because clearly it is not working for customers. we welcome this government review that will carry on for about a year, but we know passengers cannot wait for the results of that review, that as an industry we have to act and make

sure what happened in may does not happen again. more than 4,000 children in england with special educational needs and disabilities were not given the support they needed at school last year, according to the 0fsted chief inspector. the regulator's annual report, which is published today, describes the failure as a national scandal. the department for education says it's working to improve standards with a new inspection framework. and you can hear victoria's interview with 0fsted's chief inspector, amanda spielman, in the next half hour. reports suggest president macron's government is preparing to suspend planned tax rises on fuel in france, after a wave of sometimes violent protests across the country. the increases had been due to come into effect at the start of january. three people have died since the unrest began more than a fortnight ago. the demonstrators, led by the so—called yellow vests movement, are angry about the rising cost of living in france. the body of president george bush senior is lying in state in the capitol rotunda in washington. it follows a ceremony attended by the bush family and senior political figures including

president trump. there'll be a state funeral for mr bush on wednesday, then his body will be flown back to texas, where he will be buried on thursday. michelle 0bama has said she still has what she called impostor syndrome, despite her eight years as america's first lady. speaking during an event in london last night to promote her memoirs, she said she kept feeling she had something to prove because of the colour of her skin. she also told the audience how the queen had dismissed royal protocol as "rubbish" when the 0bamas visited windsor castle. that's a summary of our main stories today. back to you, victoria. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag #victorialive. if you're emailing and are happy for us to contact you — and maybe want to take part in the programme — please include your phone number in your message. you can also use whatsapp and facebook. this programme has been told exclusively that hundreds of children and young people — many of whom were born and have

grown up here in the uk — are being denied british citizenship because they are supposedly not of good character. if a child aged 10 or older comes into contact with the criminaljustice system — even for petty crimes or school fights — the home office can refuse their citizenship. 0ur reporter anna collinson has the exclusive story. they were born here, grew up here, their life is here. but for hundreds of children, the place they call home is rejecting them. some are even being forced to leave. we are waiting to meet someone who is very scared about their future. she agreed to speak to us on the condition that we did not reveal who she was, so we have changed her name, re—voiced her words, and we have met here in the secret location somewhere in the uk. carla has been denied british citizenship because the government decided she was not of good character. if someone was to ask you, "where are you from?", what would you say to them? i would definitely say

i was british, 100%. i was born here, i have never been anywhere else. but, yeah, that is not really how it works. i did not have a good relationship with my family so when i was a teenager i used to roam about. i was into clothes and make—up but i didn't have any money, so between the ages of 13 and 15 i got arrested several times for shoplifting. when you feel like you don't have a home and don't have people that care about you, you just don't value yourself, or your future. things got better when i went into care, i even went to university. after university, carla went into full—time employment and has been working ever since. so, a few years ago i tried to apply for a british passport so that i could go abroad for the first time. but the home office sent me a letter saying that i didn't have british citizenship and i needed to apply for it. a year later, i got a letter saying my request had been declined because apparently i'm "not

of good character." the letter didn't go into much detail but it looks like my offences from years ago and not including them in my application are why. oh, i felt so sad and angry and confused. i was too embarrassed to tell anyone. i just felt so alone. the age of criminal responsibility is ten, you were older when you committed those crimes. what do you say to that? i totally accept responsibility, it's just a few silly mistakes and i've been punished for them. i did community service, i had to pay loads of money in fines. i feel so completely removed from that lost, sad 13—year—old. i'm in my 20s, i have a good job and i'm a good person. it's been a huge price to pay. and until i get my citizenship, i will feel like i'm being punished for it. it used to be that if you were born

in britain, you were automatically british, and in 1981 the british nationality act removed that right. parliament, though, said it would ensure that children who were born or grew up in the uk would still be recognised as british citizens. but in 2006, the good character test was extended to include children. it meant if anyone aged ten or older came into contact with the criminal justice system, their citizenship rights could be blocked. this programme is being told the school fights, petty theft and a caution have all been reasons for refusal. if you're a british citizen you have the right to study, work and live in the uk. you can also access state services and benefits. if you're denied it, you risk deportation. we've come to meet a lawyer who began looking into this area in her spare time in 2012. she expected it would last a couple of months but six years on and the cases keep coming.

clients are always vulnerable and often have spent time in care or learning difficulties. we had an 11—year—old, for instance, who took a card, at his foster parents's home, and bought something on the internet. and the foster parent called the police and this child was given a caution. with children we have seen, parents that have called in, they have all been from the black and brown minority groups. applying a good character test to a child with a right to citizenship and treating them like you treat an adult migrant, that is fundamentally wrong. race equality think tank the runnymede trust and amnesty international have joined forces with solange to call on the government to scrap the good character test. they say it's affected more than 500 people and call it "windrush for children." what would you say to people who are watching this programme who say, these children broke the law and this is how the system works and deal with it? the idea that one child born in this country gets exiled to a place

they've never been while another is only dealt with by the criminal justice system and has opportunities to rehabilitate, is shocking. and you add to the fact that the children we are talking about go through the criminal justice system, too. in 2017, a damning report by the chief inspector for borders and immigration revealed his concerns about the good character requirements, the government accepted his recommendations and promised to publish new guidance in december, 2017. a year later, and we're still waiting. the home office declined to speak to us but said in a statement its revised guidance will be published soon. a spokesperson also said its guidance will make it clear that a child's best interest must be a primary considerations when making decisions and discretion can be exercised. carla is now getting legal help to apply for another former british citizenship. —— another form of.

campaigners say that it can be such a lengthy and draining experience, a lotjust give up. i think this is a racist system, i know for a fact this would not be happening to me if my parents were british. what do you mean by that? white? yeah, if i was white, i could have done everything i did and more, and still be granted a passport. i have thought about what it would feel like to finally become a british citizen quite a lot. i think it would probably be the happiest moment of my life. but once that wore off, i would start to feel resentment for everything that has happened. it can be hard to explain to people what it's like not having a status. i guess i feel isolated and trapped and anxious about my future. i've missed out on travelling and getting to work abroad. you also don't want to tell anyone about your past, because you're not sure how they will react, particularly a new employer. i still see myself as british but this process has done everything it can to make me feel like i don't belong here. let's talk now to jacqui broadhead

from oxford university, she's researched the effects of government policies like this one in terms of diversity and inclusion. and, dr louise theodosiou, she is a consultant psychiatrist from the royal college of psychiatrists. welcome, both. jacqui, what you think about the government applying the good character test to children who want british citizenship?” think what is so in usual —— so unusual is that children are treated the same way as adults. in most other areas we do not expect differentiation, or at very least specific guidance which put at heart the best interests of the child, we would see that with social services and most other types of policy, it

is unusual we should have it in something such as whether a child should have citizenship. do you think a child to shoplift should be treated differently to an adult in terms of citizenship? yes, we know childhood is very different addled hoedt, children are developmentally different and do not have the same ability to reflect on their actions and are still learning —— we know childhood is very different to adulthood. so you think they should not be failing these good character tests for coming into contact with the criminal justice tests for coming into contact with the criminaljustice system? tests for coming into contact with the criminal justice system?m tests for coming into contact with the criminaljustice system? it is a very tricky area, but childhood is very tricky area, but childhood is very different and children need to be treated differently to adults in terms of these tests. jacqui, is this two bits of legislation butting up this two bits of legislation butting up against each other? partly, there

is immigration law on the one side and then considerations about the best interest of the child, but i think there are decisions being made by the home office, changes mentioned in your report from the original intentions of the 1981 and 2006 acts, to how they are being applied today, perhaps much more expensively than they may have been intended when the good character test was meant as a way of excluding people from british citizenship who might have committed serious crimes, down to applying it to children in some of the quite minor instances you identified. can you see rationale for treating adults and children the same when it comes to this? i think it is difficult to see that rationale. at very least the case would be made, as the chief inspector did in his 2017 report, to have some guidance. so if you were going to apply the good character assessment she would have specific guidance for children, but i think

there is a case to say it is inappropriate to apply at all. louise, how might it child puzzlement mental health be affected if they were told they had failed a good character test? —— a child's mental health? it is likely to impact on your self—esteem, we have heard from the case of carla but it can take a long time, children are placed in long periods of feeling guilty unselfconscious and having a secret they cannot share with others, that will impact your self—esteem and well— being. others, that will impact your self-esteem and well-being. the home 0ffice say the age of criminal responsibility is ten, if they have broken the law, and i accept that some of these was school fights, but if they have broken the law, shouldn't they be punished? we know children are in a phase of development and make mistakes, they have to learn consequences but they had to be in keeping with the acts. jacqui, i think you feel this issue

disproportionately affects children in the care system particularly? we know that the rules around who can and can't acquire british citizenship are quite complex, it is very expensive, it costs over £1000 for the application. because there is not clear guidance about the good character requirements, if you are u nsuccessful you character requirements, if you are unsuccessful you lose the application fee, and where children have lived in the uk for a long time 01’ have lived in the uk for a long time or perhaps their parents acquired citizenship after they were taken into care, it could be the local authorities or foster parents do not realise they do not have british citizenship until they reach 18, thenit citizenship until they reach 18, then it can be a significant change in their circumstances when friends and others go to university and they can no longer access that. the home 0ffice can no longer access that. the home office says the review of the good character requirement has been completed and revised guidance will be published soon. it will make it clear that consideration of the child's best interest must be

primary when making decisions that affect them. it will also make it clear where discretion can be exercised. louise, does that sound vaguely encouraging?” exercised. louise, does that sound vaguely encouraging? i think it sounds hopeful and we have is to remember that these are very vulnerable children and we have to think about the potential emotional impact on them of this situation. jacqui? it would be welcome, we have been waiting since december 2017, so soon, how soon would we have that? it would be useful for the soon, how soon would we have that? it would be usefulfor the home 0ffice it would be usefulfor the home office to think implications for the sense of identity and belonging that carla talked about and the wider implications on building inclusive communities and societies in the uk. thank you both very much. back in october, we brought you the exclusive news that a second british woman had died undergoing brazilian bum lift surgery abroad. this morning we can reveal that the woman was a 49—year—old

called tryce harry and she died having the operation in hungary clinic. an inquest into her death hasjust started in bimringham. 0ur reporter chi chi izundu spoke to me outside the coroner's court just before the hearing began. what i can tell you is we now know, as you have concerned, that 49—year—old tryce harry died earlier this year in hungary undergoing brazilian butt lift surgery. for those who don't know, that involves you going under general anaesthetic asa you going under general anaesthetic as a patient, there was like a section —— like the section from various parts of your body and it is reinjected into the buttock area. if it is not done carefully, fat can be deposited into major arteries and veins and clock them, therefore causing death. the british

association of aesthetic plastic surgeons say that brazilian butt lift surgery is one of the most dangerous that anyone can undergo in the world and they would advise making sure you do your homework before you undergo it. the family of miss harry do not want to speak, as you can imagine they are quite upset about her death earlier this year, in march. earlier, as well, we found out that a 29—year—old died undergoing the same type of surgery, but in turkey. why is it so popular when there are such risks? it is the social media effect, the kim kardashian effect. you do not know she has actually undergone brazilian butt lift surgery but young women and some men want that hourglass shape. as we discovered in my report in october, a number of social media stars have undergone this surgery, it does not cost that much. it costs

around £3000 to £5,000 and you can haveit around £3000 to £5,000 and you can have it abroad. clinics abroad make out that you go on holiday, have a great time, undergo surgery and come back with an amazing figure. it is not surgery for life, it does not last and you will probably had to undergo it again. but the issue is that reality tv stars, in some cases, give the impression that it is not a big deal and lots of women and some men undergo the surgery not understanding the full potential of the risks. chi chi izundu, and she will report further from the inquest as it proceeds. theresa may will set out the case for her brexit deal today when she opens five days of debate in the commons ahead of the crucial vote on her brexit deal next week. but mps will first vote on whether ministers are in contempt of parliament for refusing to publish their full legal advice on the agreement. in full. norman is at downing

street. is the government going to change its mind and publish the lot? i don't think so, they seem to be hunkered down, arguing that there is no precedent for it government to publish its legal advice and to do so would mean that law officers in the future would not give candid and frank advice to minister. no change from a government point of view, as a result of which there is a good chance that today parliament will vote to decide that the government is in contempt of parliament. symbolically, that is quite a big moment because i don't think any modern government in recent history has ever been found to be in co nte m pt of has ever been found to be in contempt of parliament, and itjust creates that impression of the government on the ropes, on the back foot, really struggling now that parliament is voting to issue that sort of censure. the second thing

thatis sort of censure. the second thing that is important is this comes just before mrs may is going to make a big pitch to mps to start the five days of debate to sell her brexit deal. we could find mps voting to pass this motion of censure. the other thing which is kind of important about this is the way that votes might stack up. already we are seeing the dup, who as we know our mrs may's nominal parliamentary allies, saying they will voted to censure the government, so they have cut themselves adrift from the government pretty much now, and people will be thinking that if they lose that vote of censure, what chance have they of winning the meaningful vote in a couple of weeks, next tuesday. what happens practically if the government lose isa practically if the government lose is a good deal less clear and will probably depend on how the speaker decides to play it. but this was john bercow last night, signalling

pretty clearly, i think, that he wa nts pretty clearly, i think, that he wants the government to act and publish the full legal advice. i have considered the matter carefully and i am satisfied that there is an arguable case that a contempt has been committed. i am therefore giving precedence to a motion to be tabled tonight before the house rises and to be taken as first business tomorrow, tuesday. it will then be entirely for the house to decide on that motion. now, that last sentence, it will be entirely for the house to decide on that motion, suggests that mps could potentially seek to, i do know, impose some sort of sanction on the attorney general or take some sort of action against him. there is no sign of it so far so it will be primarily a symbolic blow for the government. but, as i say, coming before that crucial debate and

crucial vote, hardly a great start. jeers, norman. —— cheers, norman. with me now is tom brake — the lib dem brexit spokesperson and the mp for carshalton. and joining us from westminster is simon hoare — he is the conservative mp for north dorset and the parliamentary private secretary to the home secretary. thank you both for talking to us. tom brake, can you explain to people, many of whom ijust tom brake, can you explain to people, many of whom i just tried tom brake, can you explain to people, many of whom ijust tried to get ready for christmas, and all they hear from westminster is co nsta nt they hear from westminster is constant anger, hostility and confrontation and it is a huge switch off, why is this content vote important and why should they not switch off? because what has happened is the house of commons, in other words parliament, has demanded that the government provides the legal advice... and it has. and the attorney general has not provided the full legal advice. what do you think is missing? in effect he has set out a summary, and we know from past cases like the iraq war that when an attorney general has set out

a summary, later on it has proven the case that that summary has rather cherry picked key legal points to reinforce the government's case. simon holt, do you accept that the attorney general, the government... how'd you know he has not cherry picked? the premise that tom bases his analogy on is not correct, peter goldsmith, in his iraq war legal opinion, was whether what the government proposed at the time, mr blair's government was going to do at the time, was legal. the attorney in the house of commons yesterday made very clear that none of the advice he has given to the government is based upon whether something is legal or not, so to try to make this analogy that there is a link between this advice and the iraq war advice... but the question still stands, how'd you know he has not cherry picked bits to back—up the government's case? how'd you know? ... and he

the government's case? how'd you know? and he said whatever your questions, ask me, i am the attorney to the house of commons, ask me your questions and i will answer them. i will give you the same answer is that i put in my written advice to the government. so publish the lot, then? what we saw yesterday was a parliamentary parlour game with people trying to frustrate or undermine the democratic process of the referendum by turning around and turning this into a game on process rather than substance. tom brake, the public sees this as a game, if you are being honest, you all about making trouble for the government? we are making sure that parliament, which is meant to be sovereign, when it demands a minister to provide some documents, that he provides them, and the attorney general has refused to do so. and this matters because the government now has a record of disregarding parliament's position, boats taking place where the government are very heavily

defeated and refused to take on board what has happened in those votes. were there any questions the attorney general did not answer yesterday? we don't have the full legal advice so we can't know what questions we did not ask him which might have been prompted by that legal advice. hand on heart, do you think he is hiding something?” think he is hiding something?” think he is hiding something?” think he gave a very theatrical performance. do you think he is hiding something? we will not know until evidence is published but the precedent is that attorney generals have presented the evidence in the best possible light to reinforce that case, add nothing simon hoare has just that case, add nothing simon hoare hasjust said, i'm afraid, dispels the idea that that might have happened in this case. simon hoare, we are happened in this case. simon hoare, we a re however happened in this case. simon hoare, we are however many days out from mrs may's vote next tuesday, it would not seem that the prime minister is succeeding in persuading some of those almost 100 conservative mps who have publicly

said they will vote against her deal in changing their minds. should she postpone the vote and go back to brussels, try to tweak something, perhaps to do with the hated backstop, and bring it towards parliament? no, the country now wants is to move forward and test this steel and parliaments, wants is to move forward and test this steeland parliaments, i wants is to move forward and test this steel and parliaments, i am actually a bit more optimistic than you are, i think we can...” actually a bit more optimistic than you are, i think we can... i have not expressed an opinion, i have said 100 conservative mps have publicly said they will vote against it. i still believe the vote can be won, because when colleagues look at the amendments which labour and other opposition parties have tabled to the deal, it is very clear they are not trying to get a better deal, they are trying to frustrate the will of the people and stop the brexit process. at least they are now being honest about it in black

and white. i think what is being made very clear from the european union is that this is a good deal, as faras union is that this is a good deal, as far as both sides of the channel are concerned, and it should be supported. the problem is, and if you look at this process over the years, when one so—called big important issue is dealt with, people move the goalposts and find something else they find to be unpalatable. i think this deal works, it delivers on the referendum result and we should support it. tom brake? i think there is no prospect she would win, and that is why the discussion we have just had about how she responds to votes on the amendment matters, because of amendments passed on the government says thank you, parliament, for setting better but we will not take notice, we have a fundamental constitutional crisis on our hands. thank you both. lib dem tom brake and conservative simon hoare. still to come. we speak to the chief inspector of education — the head of 0fsted — who describes the failure of schools to help thousands of pupils with special educational needs

as a ‘national scandal.‘ we wa nt we want to hear from you on that. and from 3d printed bionic arms to an mot for the bacteria in your gut — we find out about the innovations which could transform your life in 2019. 0fsted says it's a national "scandal" that thousands of children in england are missing out on key support for diagnosed special educational needs. in a new report chief inspector of england's schools, amanda spielman said 2,060 children with official education, health and care plans are receiving no support at all. the 0fsted report also highlights concerns about special needs pupils being moved off the school roll illegally, claiming that too many children ‘have been failed by the education system. the chief inspector of schools amanada spielman spoke to me earlier about what they found... these are children who have

typically had a very long wait even to get a very diagnosis, autism at the minute can be two years to get a diagnosis and after that still not get the support you need. to have thousands of children still waiting even after that long trek to get a diagnosis, that is a scandal. what impact is that having on their education and life outcomes? these are education and life outcomes? these a re often education and life outcomes? these are often children with the most serious and most complex problems, without the right kind of support they can struggle, even to get through the basics of things like learning to read, they may not be able to get the same place as other children, that's caster educational trajectory after that. you point out in your report that children with special educational needs are five times more likely to be excluded than their counterparts, why? remember a lot of statements are for behavioural problems and some complex conditions like autism, we know have an effect on children's

behaviour as well. these are children who it is harder to manage, harder to have them do well at school and if you don't have the support there, lined up, it's even harder so it makes it more likely they will fall out. you also look into something called off ruling, explains what baddies and why it's damaging to children. it isn't proper exclusion, it's done through the correct process with the interests of children properly considered. it is illegal or unethical removal of children from school rules, parents are encouraged to ta ke school rules, parents are encouraged to take children away to avoid an exclusion, they are encouraged to have a go at home educating when that's not what they want to do or are confident to do. when this happens fundamentally for reasons that are not about the interests of the child. why would schools do that? we know performance tables put leisure on schools, makes schools feel they are under pressure, we can see a lot of departures are close to

the date that people will start to come to perform, so we see pattern is that suggest performance tables drivers. but it's legal, what do you think of heads who do this? we are concerned about this, that's why we have done analytical work to identify schools that have these pattern is of departures that could be due to the process, inspectors ask the right questions and we have started doing that. in a number of recent inspections that i know what since we started using this data of conversations have been hard. what you are saying is headteachers or lawbreakers. they are the parents are bothjoined their lawbreakers. they are the parents are both joined their children to home educate, it's a question of what kind of conversation gone off what kind of conversation gone off what kind of moral pressure has been exerted on parents to induce them to withdraw children, often, we are talking about a grey area, we're not talking about a grey area, we're not talking about a clear breach of the

law, we are talking about soft and fuzzy stuff. clearly unethical. yes, you've got some figures which i will quote for the audience can be found between january 20 16th quote for the audience can be found between january 2016th and january 20 17th 19,000 between january 2016th and january 2017th19,000 pupils dropped off school rules between ten and 11 and around half that number, nearly 10,000, did not appear on the role of another state funded school. they could be being, dedicated, could have gone to a private school but why are you so concerned about that? the numbers of children who are disappearing at this point, it's abnormal to disappear at this point at all, halfway through a gcse course, , at all, halfway through a gcse course,, half of them are not appearing on any state rule, some of them could be in private alternative provision that's not registered or inspected at if so, these are the children with the biggest problems, the biggest academic problems and

social problems, we should want to know for it they are and be co mforta ble know for it they are and be comfortable they are being looked after. we don't know where they are, how can that be? we are a very permissive country and we do not have any registration requirement for children who are home educated, by default local authorities don't know for children are. local authorities, how much doesn't come down to funding, councils have said for the past few years, they don't have enough money and the number of children with special educational needsis children with special educational needs is rising. some of that may come down to money but it's really important to remember doing things properly saves money in the long one. or example if you have diagnosis delays, each time more costis diagnosis delays, each time more cost is added but it doesn't do anything to help the child, the more efficient services are, the faster they process cases and diagnose, the less it costs a local authority and it says the education system money

overall. i want to ask you about something else which is also an issue for you, you are hearing about in primary schools. children turning up in primary schools. children turning upa in primary schools. children turning up a reception, the very first year, aged 11—5 primary school and they are wearing nappies. yes. it's happening, you say. it's happening ina large happening, you say. it's happening in a large number of schools and there is a real awareness of this since i started talking about this. the number of messages we had, the response has been overwhelming. and it really is, something about that sense of parental responsibility, it is important, children should come to school able to take the courts on and off, do their shoes up and use a toilet. when they can't do that more and more teacher time is getting sucked into doing things that is pa rt sucked into doing things that is part of a parents job to teach a child to do. let's talk to jane his primary school—age daughter has

autism and has been out of school for a gear autism and has been out of school fora gearand autism and has been out of school for a gear and lorraine who is principal at the national autism society's robert 0gden school in south yorkshire. welcome to you both. jane, tell us about your daughter's complex needs and what it's led to. my daughter has autism, she was diagnosed at five, she has added diagnosis, she has a high anxiety need to be in control. she went to a special educational needs unit within mainstream because it was found she wasn't coping in mainstream, she needed more support. six months and we found she wasn't coping with the school environment, even though it was smaller classes, she couldn't engage in her learning because everything was a demand. so atan because everything was a demand. so at an emergency review we were told that the school concentrated on her

well—being other than academics, six months later it was found my daughter was taking control of the whole school unit and so they had to bring in her learning again, i thought maybe it would be a gradual process , thought maybe it would be a gradual process, but it wasn't. in the september she went into a new class, the new teacher, with a new one—to—one, bearing in mind she has autism as well, all these changes, along with pda, made her erupt, she didn't know this woman. when you say erupt, what do you mean? her aggressive behaviour became worse. it was an unexpected change, she was being told one—minute that she could go and do what she wanted, so she wa nted go and do what she wanted, so she wanted to play with a doll, and then she was coming into school after the summer holiday and being told, it

you need to learn. this wasn't discussed with my daughter.” you need to learn. this wasn't discussed with my daughter. i think thatis discussed with my daughter. i think that is when the school effectively said they could not cope so... that's right. she's been out of school for over a year now, is that correct? that's right. what about the impact on her, you, the wider family? the impact on her, she feels worthless, like she's a bad person. she doesn't understand why she's out of school, quite no school will take her. she doesn't understand the concept that some schools just can't meet her needs. right. i have so many messages from mums and dads talking of similar stories, debbie says both my children has special educational needs, its been a co nsta nt educational needs, its been a constant struggle to secure and maintain the levels of support they need. my son is 18, he has a plan,

he attends special needs college, my 15—year—old daughter has a statement and asa 15—year—old daughter has a statement and as a mainstream school, both have autism. effectively debbie is talking about the incredible fight that she's had to put up to get the support and she says now both her children are doing well. this text says the support in school for my son with asperger‘s has been a joke, i out of the school for years trying to get his needs met done for them to get his needs met done for them to comply with the special educational needs code of conduct. i've travelled the breadth of the country trying to find a mainstream school that will meet his needs and yet still have not found one. he's missed a lot of school now because of anxiety and stress and there is still no support. starr says i am a seven—year—old boy, i have to home educate. he spent four years in mainstream, we fought for a diagnosis and plan and i made the decision to take him out of school after one whole year of segregation. how do you respond to some of these

stories, lorraine? it's not a surprise, we have lots and lots of referrals through to my school with people in this kind of position. lots of youngsters who have been out of school for quite a significant amount of time and families are just tearing their hairout amount of time and families are just tearing their hair out and lots of youngsters who haven't actually received the right level of support within the school they had been in. the parents have felt they had to ta ke the parents have felt they had to take the child away because of the impact it was having an emotional well—being. impact it was having an emotional well-being. do you have any sense of the four local authorities whose finances we know are stretched, who had to cope with cuts despite the department of education telling us we are working to drive up the quality of services for children with special educational needs and disabilities and introducing a new framework and so on. we have shown we will take sought action to put systems in place and turn things round. i have a massive amount of

sympathy for local authorities. talk to commissioning partners and people working within local authorities, the majority of them are well meaning and they do care, berry passionately about the youngsters but when they don't have facilities, resources, units, the right kind of provision for these children, they are really stuck. i think one of the other issues that has to be addressed, the national autistic society is pushing for an autism and education strategy because one of the things that's really difficult for children with autism and any other kind of special educational needs is the fact that the schools needs is the fact that the schools need more support to actually understand the condition, the disability. and to be able to make lots and lots of different small adaptations to ease the rules a little bit to look more holistically at the child instead of trying to ram the child into the traditional

routines that they have in place. let me read this from one mother. my son has now messed around for years of education. at his wrist school he was excluded 45 times and we were collecting him daily. until he tried to ta ke collecting him daily. until he tried to take his own life at the age of eight. the school, i mean, it goes on, could not meet his needs, he was eventually sectioned, finally she she says we have lost all trust and faith in the system and home tutoring is the only way forward but he wants the social interaction with friends which is never going to have. that is astonishing. it's astonishing, horrible, but it's not unusual, it's something we hear regularly and sometimes the incidents that are being reported can be quite trivial. but they fly in the face of the rules and the

ways schools are set up to work. 0k well stop i think one of the key things for me, the fact school leaders need to have a greater understanding of autism so they can actually bend and twist and shape themselves to adapt to the needs of these berry complex youngsters. jane, i wonder what you feel is the future for your daughter? we don't know, we feel like we are in limbo, nobody really says anything, the last i heard it could be another year before she has found a school. the problem we have is she lost school placement at the beginning of year five, so she's school placement at the beginning of yearfive, so she's missed school placement at the beginning of year five, so she's missed all of year five, so she's missed all of year five, so she's missed all of year five and now because she is half way through year six, it would be unfairfor half way through year six, it would be unfair for her to start halfway through year six and then had to do another transition to secondary. so my another transition to secondary. so e another transition to secondary. so my hope is that she goes to an independent school which will go from five years right up to 19, so she doesn't have to do the

transition, we can get into school as soon as possible. 0k. sorry. sorry, jane, i was going to say i wish you all are best for your daughter and i hope that happens and thank you so much for talking to us. we really appreciate it. thank you. lorraine, thank you for your time today, we appreciated. you are welcome. now a story about sexism in football. lyon and norway footballer ada hegerberg had just won the inaugural women's ballon d'or award — given to the world's best footballer — when the host, dj martin solveig, asked her if she could twerk. the award — voted for byjournalists — recognises the best players in the world. and this is the first time they had given an award to the best female player. let's take a look at the moment. cheering and applause. ada hegeberg was asked aboutd the comments after the ceremony — this is what she said. he came to me after and he was really, really sad that it went that way.

i didn't think about it in that moment. i did not consider it as a sexual harassment or anything. i was just happy to get a dance and celebrate winning the ballon d'0r, to be honest. the moment had sparked a backlash on social media, and martin solveig then posted an apology video. er... guys, i'm a little bit amazed, astonished by what i'm reading on the internet. of course, didn't want to offend anyone. this comes from a distortion of my english level and my english cultural level, which is not... obviously not enough. this was a joke, probably a bad one, and i want to apologise for the one i may have offended. sorry about that. as you'd expect, there has been considerable condemnation of his comments on social media. tennis star andy murray posted on instagram: "another example former england striker eni aluko

tweeted — "pathetic apology. former liverpool player john arne riise tweeted, what's the technology of the future? well, the global innovation foundation nesta have come up with ten developments in technology, health and society which they predict will start to reshape our world in 2019. among their predictions are warnings about deep fake videos, a suggestion that robot laywers will become mainstream,

and that testing your gut bacteria at home will be all the rage. you heard it here first! let's speak to celia hanson — director of explorations at nesta, which has made these predictions. celia, you've made these predictions for how technology could impact us and the world in 2019. deep fake videos, let me read a quote. first of all, you say "a geo—political incident will be sparked by a politician or celebrity being maliciously impersonated, using highly life—like computer—generated "deep fake" video". what are "deep fake" videos? they are when people use artificial intelligence to generate audio or video material of an individual appearing to say or do something he

did not actually say or do.” appearing to say or do something he did not actually say or do. i think we might have one of which we will show ina we might have one of which we will show in a moment but to carry on. the issue is we are used to seeing computer—generated material in blockbuster films of this type of material might surround us in our everyday lives and might be intended to deceive us. let's have a quick look. it got me thinking about my full—time employees, and their ability to survive on $8 an hour in new york city. and foremost on all of our minds has been the loss and the grief felt by the people of orlando. most of us don't get our health care through the marketplace, we get it through otherjob, or through medicare. and what you should know is that, thanks to the affordable care act, your coverage is better today than it was before. women can get free checkups, and you can't get charged more just for being a woman. this is a bill that would boost america in some very, very hard times.

some progress, at least within the small confines of the legal community. i think it's really important. a year ago, president barack 0bama, when you are giving a speech, make sure you use a lot of pauses. that's the kind of thing you are talking about. exactly. a lot of exa m ples talking about. exactly. a lot of examples are quite obvious, innocuous, a news company in china has created an artificial intelligence news anchor. we played it on the news, absolutely. that did not scare me, i have to say. good, good, it's quite easy to check which are fake and which are real. how could it used maliciously? we will see it being weaponised against celebrities and public figures like politicians as we saw there. that's where it could get scary because actually if a politician seemed to be making quite an inflammatory statement which is believed it could spark a diplomatic incident and

that's why we need to be watchful about how this technology develops. how would we spot a deep fake video? there is a bit of a technology arms race to get better at spotting these videos, we can tell for example further or not a subject is blinking and open why did they look sufficiently human. but it's about public awareness and it's about developing more sophisticated ways of legitimising those videos which are authentic. 0k. let's bring in dan melville who uses a 3—d printed bionic arm, an example of assistive technology and a designer who has designed a robotic lawyer who uses artificial intelligence. celia, come over to this part of the studio, it's a nice. hello. thank you for coming on the programme. this is one of the predictions, the kind of technology you said more of us will be using from next year. bank, tell us be using from next year. bank, tell us about this. this is a 3-d printed

prosthetic arm, it uses the pulses in my muscles to open and close. this is my personalised, i have wrote my own colours to show up today. how much cost compared to a conventional press that dick? this isa conventional press that dick? this is a fraction under ten grand but compared to the ones that are 50 grand exactly the same thing. —— the prosthetic. i mean, iwas saying before we came on, i used to wear the standard prosthetic growing up, idid not the standard prosthetic growing up, i did not like it are a much, i fell out with a man for many years i didn't know what i wanted to do, i liked the idea of a low—cost, prosthetic eye on a calm and here i am talking to you about it now. celia, it is the 3—d printing aspect, £10,000 is berry expensive, it makes it more accessible. there isa it makes it more accessible. there

is a host of technological developments changing the face of what is possible with assistive technology. 3—d printing is one, i gaze technology, if you are enough wheelchairs you might direct your wheelchairs you might direct your wheelchair depending on when and you are looking, or sensors to avoid collisions with other objects. that's driving down cause potentially making them widely accessible. ludwig, hello, are you a lawyer yourself? i have a legal background myself. robotic lawyers will enter the mainstream according to people like celia so what have you signed? we are a litigation risk analysis company, we are not there yet when we were completely automate the legal profession but we will start enhancing it. what we do, we help you predict the outcome of the case before you go to court, we help you figure out how long it'll take how much it will cost. what have you, but? it's a website, we sell to

do dictation thunders and insurance companies to help them understand the risk of cases the insurer and fund but down the line, such an interesting point, bringing down cost. down the line this is something that should be available to everyone because access to justice is a huge problem, there are tonnes of people in the uk that have a right to bring a claim but they don't know that and... a right to bring a claim but they don't know that and. .. right, it could be from suing your employer to disputing a parking ban? exactly, it could be a huge multi—million pound litigation at £10,000 for breach of contract. we need to help people understand they have a right. quite with and they go to a human eating? that's already quite expensive, sometimes it's not worth it. —— human being? it's not transparent. it's something we do as well, we figure out what happens in court. so you think robotic lawyers, it's an

apt, a website, it sounds very exciting, have is not quite as exciting, have is not quite as exciting, with respect, but you said these will become the mainstream. we think quite straightforward legal processes or components of the legal profession is what we will see become automated, there are types of legal processes that are suited to this, you can train machines to learn how the case might go. and as i was saying, helping people to understand what their rights are in a given situation. we'll lawyers go out of business? will they lose theirjobs? it's very unlikely. but lawyers, this interesting, on the one hand, as celia says, they get to do more interesting work because the boring stuff gets automated and they get to learn more about the law, when you applied dated techniques to legal data you find interesting things you might not expect.”

legal data you find interesting things you might not expect. i early had time to mention the bacteria got testing kit, celia, 30 seconds, you say this will be mainstream. we have cottoned on health trackers, this idea that we will struggle as been to the bacteria in our gut because it's increasingly linked with different health conditions. so how do you listen? there is testing kits like this, like genetic testing kits which people are starting to use to understand more about the genes but increasingly we seek the medical profession and researchers understanding may be can develop personalised treatment plans for people. 0k, cool! thank you all so much. we will see if your predictions come true. thanks for coming in, all of you. thanks for your company today, we are back tomorrow at 10am, there you are. bbc newsroom live is next. goodbye. hello, good morning. lovely start of
