as i‘m aware, what is happening, the we re warnings that aids was a killer. we were all going to die. it is the pa rty‘s as i‘m aware, what is happening, the party‘s deputy leader tom watson is pushing for the party to agree there confidence of youth. i can't believe isa pushing for the party to agree there is a european election manifesto very clearly for a commitment which this is going to happen to me. he says is an emergency issue you've mentioned your brother. he actually that has to be done was also infected with hiv. as a straightaway. a commitment today to having a referendum on any big city, even one negotiated byjeremy direct result of the treatment with corbyn. jeremy corbyn has been resista nt to corbyn. jeremy corbyn has been infected brother products for his resistant to that. —— a referendum haemophilia. it is one of those things i have always wondered. being on any brexit deal. he said there would only be a referendum if the genetically very similar. why things conservatives were not willing to went the way they did. he became change the deal. from what i know is going on in the moment at the moment it looks likejeremy corbyn and not his deputy will win the day to stop ill. thing5 didn't work out for him. in other words there will be a commitment to a referendum, but heavily can be added and based entirely on the question of whether the conservatives are willing to he died ini990. change their deal and the talks are ongoing now between labour and the ill. thing5 didn't work out for him. he died in 1990. as a direct result conservatives. a5 ongoing now between labour and the conservatives. as you can see, it is of hiv. yes. do you feel you are in an issue which raises a lot of

passions here. a lot of people are interested in finding out whether labour will commit themselves to pa rt of hiv. yes. do you feel you are in part here to give evidence for what is sometimes called a people richard? for richard and anybody but —— a people‘s‘s vote. if people el5e richard? for richard and anybody else who is not here anymore. he knew he had aids. he knew he was wa nt to dying. he knew that he did not have but —— a people‘s‘s vote. if people want to stay loyal to jeremy corbyn, give him some leeway and don‘t long to live. he just wanted to commit him to a referendum under all circumstances. i'm just remembering why so please not to be on college talk. he wanted to talk about his green to stop some familiar faces appearing behind you. when you talk fears, how 5cared he was, but i when when you talk aboutjeremy corbyn here he has been accused of setting on the fence. he has got to come off couldn't. it was too close to home. it one way or another. we have events, we have people campaigning for him to come off the fence as you i wasn't there for him. three months can see. i think it will be slightly different fence as that is later, he died. the biggest regret5 constructed. that you can still sit on ita constructed. that you can still sit on it a little bit. 0therwise constructed. that you can still sit on it a little bit. otherwise the words that people want to see is a of my life because he is gone and i european election candidate for the labour party that they can call for a referendum will be there. but it

will not be a referendum under all cannot do anything to make amends for that. is there anything else you circumstances. i think also what they‘re trying to achieve is to put would like to see? i am honoured to they‘re trying to achieve is to put the ball back in the conservatives‘s court and see if you can comprise of be here today. it is good that this labour and is cross—party talks and ta ke labour and is cross—party talks and take some of labour‘s pulses on board, or most of them on board, i5 be here today. it is good that this is happening now. a lot of things then there is no need for either party to go through with having a referendum at all. some of this will may have changed over the past 30 placejeremy referendum at all. some of this will place jeremy corbyn referendum at all. some of this will placejeremy corbyn and his supporters, some of this will please years 01’ so, theresa may. it will not please the may have changed over the past 30 years or so, hiv, may have changed over the past 30 year5 or5o, hiv, hep may have changed over the past 30 years or so, hiv, hep c, may have changed over the past 30 year5 or5o, hiv, hep c, there may have changed over the past 30 years or so, hiv, hep c, there is 5till years or so, hiv, hep c, there is deputy labour leader without any still a segment a55ociated years or so, hiv, hep c, there is still a segment associated with it even today. —— mike 5tigma conditions are caveat whatsoever. we will be back to when there is a55ociated even today. —— mike 5tigma associated with it. i think 5ociety another department. thank you. —— needs to move on from that. when there is another development. victims of anti—social behaviour are being left let's speak now to andy evans, to suffer in silence. so says the victims‘ who was given a contaminated blood commissioner for england transfusion by the nhs and wales, baroness newlove — who warns anti—social behaviour when he was just five years old. is being played down as a petty, low—level crime or ignored thi5 this has been a hugely emotional day by the authorities.

of the biggest medical each ocean basin around the globe disaster in nhs history, names things slightly differently. telling their stories on video at the start of the inquiry last year. now it begins its next phase, it was a very intense tropical to understand the impact of this tragedy and how it happened. cyclone. most of us are little more although it will never be possible to hear orally from everyone familiar with hurricane cap for. we who would wish to be heard, those affected and infected will come first and last in the enquiry. are talking half a metre of rain. possibly one of the strongest terms in the 19705 and 805, to ever make it into mainland the nhs imported blood products from the united states. africa. a lot of them go to some were made with donated blood madagascar first. it is a big deal. from prisoners and even drug addicts at high risk of carrying viruses. we are going to be talking about no—one knows how many patients that for a while longer. 0ur the nhs treated with infected blood. estimates suggest around 5,000 we are going to be talking about were treated for haemophilia that for a while longer. our next and other diseases. concern as we have been watching the but there could be as many as 30,000 indian ocean and we cannot quite get others who received blood transfusions contaminated an eye out of it. the system is continuing to deepen. this is a with hepatitis and hiv.

derek martindale was the first tropical cyclone. it is set to to give evidence today. continue. this is the really tricky he recalled finding out he had been infected with hiv at the age of 23. bit. it looks like the track will i went at lunchtime to get swing north—westwards. 0n the results and i was told that i was hiv positive. i was told i had bit. it looks like the track will swing north—westwards. on friday, there is a bank storm surge and heavy rain. this area is very about a year to live. i was told not to tell anybody. vulnerable. particularly up towards bangladesh. a little bit doctor top including, excuse me, including my family and my parents. the inquiry team have scanned the country for official files. there are millions of documents to be reviewed we need to keep a close eye on what in the search for answers. not least to the question, is going on. you better tell us what was there a cover—up? documents have been destroyed. we know that for certain. is going on. you better tell us what is happening in the weather.m and so there is a question of how much we will be able to reveal. is going on. you better tell us what is happening in the weather. it is a much more straightforward picture. but for the first time this the most we've got to concern inquiry actually has teeth, it is a statutory inquiry, ourselves with our some showers. it will be able to summons witnesses and compel today, it is a bit of an east—west people to produce evidence, which is hugely important. split. we have got the best of the the road to justice has been a long one. those affected have been demanding

dry and bright weather at the this inquiry for decades. it is likely to take moment. the weather front will several years to complete. continue to bring more air. —— rain. the campaigners say another victim dies from infected blood every four days. richard lister, bbc news. there will be some rain across as we heard in that report western scotland, and wales. chile today, the inquiry heard from derek martindale, for northern ireland. 0ne who was given contaminated blood in the ‘805. western scotland, and wales. chile for northern ireland. one or two patches of easter fog. 0n it‘s a bit of a oxymoron in the sense that when you are young for northern ireland. one or two patches of easter fog. on wednesday, you are invincible. more and the wear of widespread you when you are 23, clouds. it will tend to break up is you have a life, you are generally the day goes on. there will be fit, apart from bleeds, brighter spells. sunshine will help but then you are told you have 12 months to live. to turn the cloud over. not it‘s very hard to comprehend that. everywhere getting them. if you get hit by the showers, you're likely to so there was the fear, there was... know about it. north—east of england and scotland. south—west of england it became more prominent looking like favoured areas. you in the media and the government could even hear the odd rumble of health warnings that aids thunder. enter thursday it gets

was a killer and we were all going to die, but again i guess quieter. england and wales there is the confidence of youth susceptible to showers. clearer, that i can‘t believe this is going to happen to me. you mentioned your brother richard. he was also infected with hiv. yes. quieter whether and to the north later in the day. it will be colder as well. thursday into friday this is the weather front. there will be again, as a direct result of the treatment with infected blood products he'd been given for his rain in the south on friday. showers treatment for haemophilia a. yes, is one of the things that in the north. that is snow. i have always wondered, being genetically very similar, why our, why things went the way they did. temperatures by the end of this week but he became ill. feeling closer to freezing on friday. a bit of a shock to the things didn‘t work out for him, system. we are running into the and he died in 1990. first of two bank holiday weekends. it looks like the weather will be as a direct result of hiv having fairly dry for most of us. there developed into aids? yes. will be a chilly start. there could i think you feel in part that you are here to give evidence for richard.

bea will be a chilly start. there could be a frost through the latter part of the week. through the weekend, it for richard and for everybody else who doesn‘t have a voice any more. he knew he was dying. will get a little bit warmer. he knew he had aids. hopefully temperatures in the mid teens at the weekend. and that he didn‘t have long to live. and he just wanted to talk, he wanted to talk about this, talk about his fears, how scared he was. but i couldn‘t. it was too close to home for me. and i wasn‘t there for him. i wasn‘t there for him. and three months later, he died. it‘s the biggest regret of my life, because he‘s gone and i can‘t do anything to make amends for that.

is there anything else you'd like to say? i‘m honoured to be here today, for one thing. it is good that this this is bbc news. our latest headlines... thousands of haemophiliacs infected with hepatitis c and hiv. is happening now. an inquiry begins into what's being called the "worst treatment although things may have scandal in the history of the nhs". police launch a new criminal changed over the past 30 investigation into the deaths of hundreds of patients who died after being given ‘dangerous years or5o, hiv, hep—c, levels‘ of painkillers at gosport war memorial hospital. there is still a stigma associated venezuela‘s opposition with it, even today. leaderjuan guaido calls for a military uprising, the government says those and i think society needs who support him are traitors. bowing out — the first japanese to move on from that. monarch to abdicate in more earlier i spoke to andy evans, in more than two centuries, emperor akihito has stepped who was given a contaminated blood down from his throne. transfusion by the nhs when he was just five years old. he explained what the public enquiry also coming up — the british speed skater, elise christie, speaks out about her struggle means to him others involved. with anxiety and depression — after her disappointments at the sochi, and pyeongchang winter it‘s been such a roller—coaster ride since the enquiry 0lympics. was announced and i think today,

i‘ve been speaking to lots of people here and it‘s just hit sport now on afternoon live them like a juggernaut. hearing, as you‘ve just heard, with hugh woozencroft. derek speaking there, a huge game to come brings it all home to everybody how for tottenham hotspurs this evening absolutely serious this is. as they play in the champions league semi final for the first time looking at you now, looking healthy, in a very long time. and yet the prognosis at the time you were diagnosed, iam sure i am sure that the fans will already be feeling a bit of tension. it is was anything but. the first time they have been in the yeah, as you mentioned, i was semifinal since 1962. the last time infected when i was five years old. we have played any of any description was in 1982. the spurs with hepatitis b and c, and also hiv. my parents told me when i was 12 tea m description was in 1982. the spurs team prepared for their first leg that i had hiv, and i was diagnosed as having full blown aids description was in 1982. the spurs team prepared for theirfirst leg in when i was 16. london against ajax. not ideal for at that time there were no medications available, apart from azt. length, they think he is not ajax side, they have both waited for a derek mentioned azt in his chance in the semi finals. the spurs testimony this morning. it‘s a juggernaut treatment, the way he put it, and it absolutely was. boss says they both have a place in i have no doubt that for me and a lot of other people, the last four. it pushed us over the edge into full—blown aids.

i think we can talk about quality, at the time there were no treatments available whatsoever, apart from that one drug. so it was a waiting game to die, but it is a team that deserve a lot and for four years i struggled of credit. his managers and the in and out of hospital, players they are doing a fantastic job. i feel it is a little bit like waiting to die from aids. andy, at the time, those us. no one believe that we can of us who were around, arrive at the final. i think the same for tottenham, but in the end there was a stigma around, as well, around aids. we are there because we deserve to apart from the physical problems you are dealing with, there was that as well? absolutely. be. i think liverpool and barcelona, it was a time of the government clicked and they are trying to show publicising adverts with the falling the world that they deserved to go gravestone, "do not die of ignorance," aids all the way. ajax on the way? going was plastered everywhere. it was a dirty disease, it was associated with what were then classed as not nice behaviours. into the game against spurs, they have the pedigree in this competition, but the last of them and so people were frightened of aids and people were frightened came back in 1995. in fact, this young squad that will be pointing of people who had aids. there was no telling anybody. out reach the europa league final just a couple of years ago. you this was something we had to keep might remember that they were beaten completely by ourselves. i was lucky in that i was quite by manchester united. they

have had a slightly easier young, if you can put it that way, preparation than a space for this when i was infected. one. they did not have a match this i could talk to my parents about it because they already knew. people who were diagnosed when they were older were warned to keep it away from everybody weekend. including their family and their parents, and they had pochettino called the move unfair. nobody to talk to about it. however in response the ajax boss i‘ll be honest with you, there were several people my age said hold on a minute — watching some of the testimony this morning and they were close to tears. we get nowhere near the £150 million or so of tv prize money that spurs i‘m just wondering, what do do so it‘s never been you hope this will achieve? a level playing field! this could be a two—year enquiry. we pray in the dutch and we get £9 what would you judge million from tv revenue and as a success from it? tottenham get... well i don't know but it is a much more. is that unfair? is not unfair for them are as i say, this has been coming for a long time now. odds? those are the circumstances. everybody has different circumstances and you just have to i‘ve asked a lot of people deal with it. what they want to come out at the end of this enquiry. the football league have confirmed that bolton wanderers match against brentford — what they would like to happen at the end of this scandal. postponed on saturday i think the word after bolton players went on strike closure comes up a lot. truth comes up, — will not be played this week. and the word justice comes up a lot. constant financial trouble and uncertainty over a potential

takeover have left the players and coaching staff without their salaries from march and april. i think those are the three elements the efl say a decision on if and when the brentford game that people are searching for. will be played will be taken on thursday although they we need the absolute truth are opposed to bolton as to what happened before anybody fulfilling their remaining fixtures can try to put this behind them. with youth players. if they‘ve lost loved the quarterfinals are under way ones, it‘s too late. at the world snooker championship in sheffield — for those of us who are still alive, and we‘ve got quite a match already between ali carter and gary wilson. we need to have that closure before we can actually move carter is playing in his 6th on with the rest of our lives. quarterfinal at the crucible a new police investigation has been and raced into a 3—0 lead. announced into the deaths of hundreds of patients but wilson, never beyond at gosport war memorial hospital the first round before this in hampshire between 1987 and 2001. year, won the next five frames, a report published last summer including two century breaks and this amazing shot found more than a50 lives on the blue to lead 5—3 before were shortened as a result they continue this evening. of over—prescribing of opiates. families were told of the decision 0n the other table, the match at a meeting in fareham shortly between kyren wilson before the announcement was made. and dave gilbert is finely balanced. at the end of their first session it‘s all square at 4 frames all. duncan kennedy reports. the families of those who died the other two quarterfinals are just gettting started — were given news about a new police and there‘s live coverage on bbc two investigation at a special and the bbc sport website. meeting this morning. among those here were

winning wimbledon has just got gillian mackenzie, the first a lot more profitable, to alert police in 1998, after the death of her mother. with the total prize fund increasing anne and bridget reeves lost a close relative as well. by nearly 12% for this year‘s championships. debbie mackay and cindy grant also came, following the death of their father. winners of the singles will receive ian sandford said he welcomed the £2.35 million which is up £100,000 police enquiry but has concerns from last year. the money has about the evidence. trebled in the last decade. they can only keep a certain amount of evidence in the files, and after ten years i understand that‘s all the sport for now. it‘s chopped off. there are people in there who have been fighting for 20 years and don‘t know what‘s going to happen. that is as far as i want to go. let‘s return to a in venezuela. a an independent inquiry last year very confused picture. there are found that more than a50 patients reports of shots being fired as at the gosport war memorial hospital hundreds of people take to the probably died because they were streets. a5 hundreds of people take to the streets. as you can see here, a given strong painkillers number of people are gathering. a5 venezuelan authorities say they are for no medical reason. putting down a small coup. the many patients were injected using syringe drivers like these. opposition leaderjuan guaido said the report found there he was in the final phase of ending was an institutionalised practice at the hospital of shortening lives.

bring an update. a5 we‘ve just been speaking to the man that picture clears we will hope to bring an update. as you can see, tear gas there on the streets. a5 leaving the investigation, bring an update. as you can see, tear gas there on the streets. as i can say, unconfirmed reports of sum the assistant chief constable nick downing. assured is also being fired. that is he spoke to the families live in caracas. we will bring you for a couple of hours more on that as we get it. —— of a here in fareham to explain how the investigation is going to take shape. sum assured also been fired. they‘re going to talk to all the families, the british speed skater as many of the a56 families affected elise christie has spoken about her struggle with mental as they can over the next nine health after her disappointments at the sochi, months and also put together and pyeongchang winter olympics. the triple world champion revealed that she had suffered an expert medical panel who can get with depression and anxiety for two years, but is now feeling well again. to understand whether there 0ur 0lympic sports reporter david mcdaid has been to speak is a causal link between to her in nottingham. she‘s an athlete we‘ve the administering of the opioids seen experience the joy at the gosport war memorial park of becoming world champion, but and the subsequent as well as the despair of olympic heartbreak. death of the patients. through it all, what has been unseen now, if a link is established, then — until this social media post — they will consider pressing charges. has been her struggle if not, then no charges will be brought. with anxiety and depression. those charges could be brought the reason behind the post against individuals and they could and the motivation for it that day be brought against organisations. was the fact that there‘s a lot of other athletes going through this, there‘s when asked what that range a lot of normal humans, day—to—day people, going of charges could include, through the same thing, nick downing said it could include homicide offences including

and i wanted to show that firstly, murder or manslaughter. it‘s ok to feel like that and it‘s it could be a range of health fine to be on the medication, and safety legislation but as yet but also that there were points that there are no suspects. i felt that i was never going to get off them of course it‘s a big task or i was never gonna feel better for nick downing and his team. and here i am, you know? one of their biggest tasks is i feel like myself. winning the support of the families. the 28—year—old says anxiety, they‘ve seen over the past 20 years which began after receiving death threats at the 2014 winter games, three police investigations come began to steadily deteriorate. and go but no criminal charges have the depression kind of like became been brought, and they have lost faith in the authorities. quite debilitating and i was in bed a lot, i was struggling to keep up with any, like, normal life. so, last september i was asked i hit a really massive low to lead an assessment after i got injured, 0lympic season, into the findings of the gosport independent panel report. and there was stuff going on behind the scenes and ijust and the previous hampshire ended up broken, i guess. investigations, three previous investigations. commentator: away they go, and christie goes down before with a small team brought together they reach the very first corner! from the eastern region, elise says anti—depression policing area, we've looked medication helped her get at the findings of the report. through to last year‘s we've looked at the previous winter olympics, but the disappointment of coming home empty—handed, as well as the break—up of her relationship, rochester investigations and today, took her to her lowest ebb.

in my lowest moments, i share with the families, i was self—harming — but not — not badly, that we are going to go into the investigation stage, but i was still doing it because i did not know how to cope without it, a criminal investigation i did not know how to get rid of the feelings i was having without doing it, and i would never into the deaths of those people at gosport war memorial have shared that and i would not betwee1987 and 2001. have wanted anyone to know that, and that is the point, the problem of course is you can get to these points for the families is that there have and you can get right out already been three police investigations, there‘s been 11 of it, because i have. from those lows, elise is now well inquests and numerous nhs reports, again, and she hopes that which is why they are slightly cynical and sceptical about this by sharing her story she can inspire strength in others too. david mcdaid, bbc news, nottingham. latest investigation. acc nick downing has to win over their trust. and if you‘ve been affected by any it was 21 years ago that one patient, gladys richards, of the issues in that report, died and herfamily went there are a number of organisations to the police complaining and websites that can offer advice and support. about her treatment. they feel they were ignored then you can find them listed on the bbc‘s actionline website and they were ignored on every subsequent occasion over the past 20 years. so they are hopeful but they aren‘t putting any guarantee the welsh health minister has that they will get the conclusion ordered a health board‘s maternity services to be put into special that they want. measures — after dozens of serious you‘re watching afternoon live, incidents at the royal glamorgan and prince charles hospitals. these are our headlines. a major independent review has found

those affected have been demanding this enquiry for decades and it‘s juventus as well, christian or not likely to take several years. ronaldo now in their ranks. —— kris campaigners say that another jenner rinaldo now in the ranks. you victim dies from infected blood every four days. look at the players —— cristiano richard lister, bbc news. as we heard in that report, today, the inquiry heard from derek martindale, who was given contaminated ronaldo in the ranks. the much blood in the 805. heralded ajax academy, the ajax youth system produce so many brilliant players through the years. it isa ajax come into it as favourites, but it is a bit of an oxymoron in a here, in front of a fuel house as sense because when you‘re young are you can imagine in this new stadium, invincible. at 23 you general knocking at manchester city in the effect. then you‘re told you have 12 latter, the tottenham fans are going to be hoping they can bejust something special once again months live. it is very hard to tonight. thank you very much and so comprehend that. there was the fear. it should be something special. you can listen to the committee of the match on radio five live this evening. and at 6:30pm will have a it became more prominent in the media. the government health special on the sport as well.

warnings that aids was a killer. we andy ruinunior is set to be named as the man to fight world we re warnings that aids was a killer. we were all going to die. it‘s the heavyweight champion anthony joshua onjune the first at new yorks madison square garden. california—born ruiz has fought for a world confidence of youth. i cannot title once before. he will replace jarrell miller, who lost his shot after believe this is going to happen to failing drug tests. the quarter—finals are underway at the world snooker me. championship in sheffield. the all english affair between david gibert you mentioned your brother richard, and kyren wilson is a he was also infected with hiv. all after the first session. yes. again as a direct result and we‘ve got quite a match already of the infected products between ali carter and gary wilson. he'd been given for his carter is playing in treatment for haemophilia. yes, is one of the things his 6th quarter—final at the crucible and raced i have always wondered, into a 3 nil lead. being possibly genetically very but wilson, never beyond similar, why our, why things the first round before this year, won the next five frames, ‘went the way they did. including two century breaks and this amazing shot on the blue to lead 5—3 before they continue this evening. but he became ill. the two other quarter finals are in session things didn‘t work out for him, at the moment — this is table 2. and he died in 1990. as a direct result of hiv having the bookies favourite developed into aids? judd trump is crusing against stephen maguire — yes.

i think you feel in part that you are here to give he is6 nilup.... evidence for richard. for richard and for everybody else who doesn‘t have a voice any more. trump is hoping to go one better he knew he was dying. he knew he had aids. than in 2017 when he was one up. 0n the other table australian neil roberston leads a time champion and that he didn‘t john higgins by 3 frames to 1. you can follow both those have long to live. games on the bbc sport website and on bbc two. and he just wanted to talk, website and on bbc two. he wanted to talk about this, that is all the sport for now we talk about his fears, will have more few and inexorable. how scared he was. —— people have more for you in the it was too close to home for me. next hour. now on afternoon live, let‘s go nationwide and see what‘s happening around the country in our daily visit to the bbc newsrooms around the uk. it‘s an education heavy and i wasn‘t there for him. i wasn‘t there for him. nationwide today. and three months later he died. nick servini is in cardiff to tell us about the first version it‘s the biggest regret of my life, of the new proposed curriculum for welsh schools. and peter levy is in hull to tell us about a project because he‘s gone and i can‘t do called facetime a farmer, which aims to teach pupils

anything to make amends for that. where the food on their plate comes from. nick, for those of us struggling to remember what was in the school curriculum, tell us what changes the system in wales will see? well, that‘s right. the current is there anything else you would like to see? i am honoured to be national curriculum in wales was here today. it is good that this is introduced when i did my gcses under the age of it as part of the reason happening now. although things may why the welsh government says it needs to change. kirsty williams, the welsh government education have changed over the past 30 years secretary says it is a 30 years old, all sorts of things have been bolted on and clearly few people would disagree with the fact the skill set or5o, hiv, have changed over the past 30 years required of the current generation or so, hiv, hep c there is still a will be very different to when you stigma associated with it, even andi will be very different to when you and i were in school, simon. and as and i were in school, simon. and as a result there needs to be a major today. i think society needs to move overhaul. just backtrack a little bit, the national curriculum, there on from that. earlier i spoke to andy evans, isa bit, the national curriculum, there is a very restricted list of content who was given a contaminated blood transfusion by the nhs when he was just five years old. earlier i spoke to andy evans, who was given a contaminated blood which will be replaced in wales in

the two years and i freer, looser he explained what the public enquiry means to him others involved... arrangement. and one of the defining it has been such a roller—coaster principles on this is that schools ride. i have been speaking to a lot and teachers will really be getting the freedom to design their own of people here and that is hit them system and what they teach their like a juggernaut. derek speaking children and add an individual school level. this is an early brings it home to everybody how serious this is. looking at you now, d raft, school level. this is an early draft, it will go through the emotional process of consultation —— you look healthy. the prognosis at the time when you are diagnosed was the usual process of consultation anything but. as you mentioned, i with birds and parents. the idea is to be rolled out in three years‘ was infected when i was five years old. with both hepatitis b and c and time. —— the usual process of consultation with boards and hiv. my tip parents told me when i was 12 that i had hiv. i was pa rents. diagnosed as having aids and i was and presumably teachers will like 16. at the time, there were no this, won‘t they? they often complain about too much central control getting in the way medications. derek mentioned azt. it of theirjobs. that is right, teachers are not like isa medications. derek mentioned azt. it is a juggernaut treatment. it many other professions they do not absolutely was. i have no doubt that like a central control —— teachers are like many other professions they

for me and a lot of people it pushed do not like central control. i think us over for me and a lot of people it pushed that has been reflected in the tone us over the edge into full—blown of the responses so far, having said aids. at the time, there were no all that, turn concerns i would pick treatments available. it was a up all that, turn concerns i would pick up on. one, predictably is money. the welsh government has set aside waiting game to die. forfour years, various inset days and training days i struggled in and out of hospital, for the teachers and i think waiting to die from aids. at the eve ryo ne for the teachers and i think everyone would agree that the success of this really depends on how well prepared the teaching time, those of us who are around, profession is in wales for less. there is a stigma around aids. apart and, of course paying for all that extra training. the welsh government has set aside around £a0 million and from the physical problems, there was that as well. absolutely. the some say that they need to be more money and welsh commences that is already a significant investment. we government publicised adverts do not can do this. to call and say that, i think a broader concern which is that the welsh education system is die of ignorance. aids was plastered not any different to any other everywhere. it was a dirty disease. whereby one of the real concerns is it was associated with what was then the radiation and the consistency thatis classed as not nice behaviours. the radiation and the consistency that is likely people were frightened of aids. people were frightened of aids. people are frightened of people who —— the variation in the consistency

had aids. there is no telling that you see. and if you get rid of anybody. it was something we had to the standardised way that education keep to ourselves. i was lucky is taught across the country, there are some who say that potentially because i was quite young. i could that could increase the risk of talk to my parents about it. people greater degrees of variation within the system. so there simon, a who were diagnosed when they were flavour of some of the arguments older were born to keep it away from that we are seeing. but certainly this is really the defining story in everybody, including their family and parents. they had nobody to talk the welsh education sector for the next three years or so. thank you to about it. there are several very much nick. people our age, my age, who are peter, what is facetime a farmer? watching the testimony and close to it isa it is a good idea. it is a free idea tea rs. watching the testimony and close to tears. iam watching the testimony and close to tears. i am wondering what you hope this will achieve. this could be a to link children and teenagers to a farmer on two—year enquiry. what would you to link children and teenagers to a farmerona to link children and teenagers to a farmer on a facetime call so they can ask questions about food, where judge a success? this has been it comes from and the history of the firm. now at the school pupils that coming for a long time. i have asked we see are from washington academy near lincoln and they have been a lot of people what they want to come out. what they would like to paired with —— history of the farm.

they had been a scanning text to see happen. the word closure comes up a if they were pregnant and the discussion then went on to see where lot. the words of truth comes up a lot. the words of truth comes up a they would end up in the future. the lot. and justice. ithink lot. the words of truth comes up a lot. and justice. i think those are idea is that once a fortnight the the three elements that people are children can ask their questions in searching for. we need the absolute a ten minute call. they will then get the answer. what is happening on truth as to what happened before anybody can try to put this behind them. if they have lost loved ones, the farm, they can see. and apparently children have very little it is too late. for those of us who idea about food and where it comes are still alive, we need to have from. there have already been some that closure before we can move on real howlers to stop some classics. with the rest of our lives. avocados, they thought were made by a new police investigation has been announced into the deaths animals. they thought that the of hundreds of patients chocolate grew on trees. and they at gosport war memorial hospital in hampshire between 1987 and 2001. thought that kale was a boys name. a report published last summer found more than a50 lives it probably is a boys name were shortened as a result somewhere. you just made up? of over—prescribing of opiates. families were told of the decision it probably is a boys name somewhere. youjust made up? i did at a meeting in fareham shortly not expect that as a slur on me. before the announcement was made. that is not the first time. duncan kennedy reports from fareham. the families of those who died what do the youngsters learn from this? were given news about a new police investigation at a special basically what you see on your

streets and people are concerned about which way this will go. high sta kes about which way this will go. high stakes being played. the world is watching. particularly dated states. we have had statements from the united states, directly addressing the defence minister. they have called for him to support the opposition led national assembly. he is also said that the armed forces remain loyal to maduro. the two sides are still sticking to their positions. the question will be who exactly is behind this and whether those loyalties will shift. let us have a look at the weather.

it is quite hard to see. i cannot hear you. we cannot hear a word from her. i will talk to well she herself out. she switched on. let‘s try this again. here we are. then goal, indian ocean. india, sri lanka, swirling mass of cloud. we have been looking at kenneth. we have been looking at kenneth. we have been looking at kenneth. we have been looking at the awful scenes. mozambique had a double whammy of a hit. we have seen the damage the systems hit. we have seen the damage the syste m5 ca n hit. we have seen the damage the systems can cause. the problem is the stay where they are.|j systems can cause. the problem is the stay where they are. i was particularly problem with kenneth. it kept dumping moisture and land. this had a double hit. this became a

stronger beast and then ran into mozambique. the system could be tricky. it is a tropical cyclone. it is continuing to intensify. in the next 2a hours we should see that develop. the models have got it tracking up and grazing along the coast of india. that could be tricky. it just stays coast of india. that could be tricky. itjust stays by the moisture and keeps picking up and dumping it on the biggest concern is if the system does not do what it is meant to do at the moment. there‘s quite a lot of low lying ground. there is a inland lake. it is very susceptible to flooding. if it kicks

a little further north, all this is delta. we see extensive flooding here. everything is down at sea level. this thing is the equivalent ofa level. this thing is the equivalent of a category four hurricane. this is friday. is this unusual? not especially. this season has actually been not the most active in terms of the number of storms, but the storms we have seen have been some real whoppers. especially around mozambique. kenneth was probably the biggest magnitude storm to hit that far north along southern africa. we are seeing a shift in some of the behaviour patterns. with climate change more present, there could be links to that. let's look at what's
