hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. the headlines: recognised in the new year honours list, but the cabinet office apologises after the home addresses of more than a thousand recipients were accidentally published online. more than 70 people are believed to have been killed in a car bomb attack in somalia. many of the dead were students. a woman whose husband and two children drowned on christmas eve in a swimming pool in spain says all three could swim and blames a fault with the pool. campaigners call for a radical overhaul of britain's railways,

including majorfare reforms and an end to "nightmare journeys". victoria derbyshire now takes a look back at the exclusive interviews and films which have featured on her programme in 2019. hello and welcome. over the next half an hour, we will bring you a few of the highlights from our programme over the last 12 months. earlier this year, our programme discovered that hundreds of british teenagers were being sent by their mums and dads to east africa to avoid knife crime here in the uk. parents told this programme they didn't view the move as a long—term solution but said they had taken the decision for their children's safety. if your child is involved in a gang, and there is nowhere for him to hide, you take him back to africa. you know, it is safer there than it is in london. if you look a specific way,

or you live in a specific area, and you will be stabbed. there are mothers now sending their teenagers back home, saying it is much safer than living in london. so she said she took her son back to somaliland. he spent a year there. during that time, he acquired an education, he was a studious child again, he, in fact, was teaching other children, and he enjoyed his time. he actually said his preference was to stay in east africa. she brought him back in november 2018. he had been back in

the country forjust 17 days. he received a text message from one of his old... from somebody she did not know. he was in the middle of eating a meal. he put the meal down, went outside and was stabbed. he was stabbed four times. he has been completely traumatised by the experience and the way in which he was stabbed was very traumatic. they damaged his bladder, his kidneys. they did a properjob on him. all these organs have been damaged permanently. the thing that would have kept him safe was to stay in somaliland for longer. she said, i have no doubt of that. 100% more safe than it is for my children in london.

one problem that they are all escaping, that is universal to all of them, is violence, so knife crime, gun crime, fighting, drug—related issues. london is not a war zone. we know that. but there are targeted crimes. if you look a specific way, or you live in a specific area, and you are a certain age, you are targeted and you will be stabbed. it is like an air strike that happens in a country, for example, where there is war. you do not know when it is going to land on you, but are you going to say, i know this air strike is not going to land on my house. i'm just going to live. no, you're thinking, it can come

anytime, so let me get out. london is the same. the mothers are saying, my son is17, 18, his friends died, they are killing each other, i am not waiting for that air strike to come to my house. we are getting out of here. in those few years that i was doing my a—levels... yeah, yeah. it was tough. why was it tough? just seeing people being dropped every other day, being stabbed. it is not the place to be for a teenager, i would say. i have lost close friends. there are people in my neighbourhood, like, someone i really knew, who lost his life. that you grew up with or something? yeah, yeah. you got stabbed. he got stabbed. that was one of the reasons that i came back here. itjust opened my eyes, man. it was just recently, it wasjust before i came here. when i see young adults, ijust see that 17—year—old that iwas, walking around, because i know what they are going through and if i can save one person, i will feel good about myself.

i came out here when i was quite young, actually. even when the problems were at their peak, 17, 18. between 16 and 18, i came out here. one of the things i will never forget and one of the things that these guys have told me as well, is the fact that when you walk down the street you do not have to look over your shoulder. the fact that when you're out and about, you know you are not being targeted because at that age, there was no way on earth that i could have easily walked into different areas of london, but here, i can travel in the city, go and visit whoever i wanted, get in a cab or get on the back of a motorbike and it was good. i felt a sense of freedom, but right now, for these kids, it is life and death. abdul has been in and out of kenya a few times. he has escaped the crime and the violence in the uk. you name it, he has probably done it. when i came here, it was a clean sheet, no—one knew me, no—one knows my history.

there you have people that look like you going after you, you know what i mean? people that look like you, that is the people you have to watch out for, people that are dressed like you. you are not worried about anyone else. your parents, do they feel you are safer here? yeah, 100%. my mum feels i am much safer here than anywhere else in the world. two weeks ago, i was speaking to one of the parents of the young people and she said to me, now that my son is in africa, i sleep better at night. i said, why? she said, because every time i hear police sirens or if i hear a siren, i would think, either the police have arrested my child or the ambulance is going to save my son that has been stabbed to death or been shot. i said, ok, mum, what about now? tell me about the sirens. she said, oh, i cannot even hear any sirens now. knife crime has literally threatened the fibre of the somali community. it has shaken us all.

does the parent wait for her child to be killed, or does the parent take a decision? quite a drastic decision to take him all the way back to wherever that child is from originally. my name is rakhia ismail, i am a local councillor in islington and i am a mother of four and i am a somali and i came here to london as a refugee some years ago. at the end of the day, we are all parents, and parents take the precedence of the safety of the child. there is two ways, either your child is in a gang or your child can innocently be killed, you know, standing somewhere and it has been mistaken identity, and it keeps on happening.

you can say, every five families, there are two families who took their children back home. i mean, i have been working with somali parents for a very long time and lots of them have no clue what their sons are up to, they have no idea, and they actually think their sons are doing really quite good, some of them, until the day after they find out their son is killed, their son is in prison, their son is dealing drugs. i mean, that is massive, and as a somali community, to be honest and to be fair, we are the forgotten people, completely. for many parents, there is confusion about whether to vaccinate their children because of the proliferation of anti—vax material on social media. we found one couple, mark and victoria, who were undecided about whether to vaccinate their own baby and sat them down with professor beate kampmann, who is director of the vaccine centre at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine, so they could ask her directly

about their concerns. i will start off byjust asking why do you think it is acceptable to inject aluminium into a baby when it has been banned in such things as aerosols? alum is a very, very important part of the vaccines because it actually helps the stuff that is really important in the vaccines, which is the bacterial—viral ingredients to work well in the body. now you make it sound as if we are giving a massive shot of aluminium to the body, so that is not at all the case. the concentration of aluminium is like a thousandth of what you find in the natural environment and what we already have in our bodies as well. the information leaflets in vaccine packaging is something mark and victoria want to find out more about. inserts for vaccines are not always offered prior to injection for parents to read. the ones that we have obtained state that they should not be administered if you're allergic to any of the ingredients, but how do we know if the baby

is allergic or not? the most important ingredient in that is usually egg. sometimes, some vaccines, for example the mmr vaccine, has traces of that. by the time the baby gets that particular vaccine, you would know if they are allergic to egg or not because because they would have had egg in all sorts of products. what about younger babies, though? there is no egg components in the other vaccines they are getting. i think what is important also, on the inserts, they have to list, notjust what is in the vaccine now, but also what was part of the vaccine when it was manufactured. that is not necessarily differentiated in the insert, so you get a whole bunch of stuff that is actually mentioned, but hardly any of it will be in the final product. assuming we were to go ahead and have our child vaccinated, it would then have its tetanus, polio, diphtheria, so why, when the hooping cough vaccine is offered to pregnant women, they are not then told that it has tetanus, diphtheria, and polio within it as well? i think it is part of the conversation that people should

know exactly what vaccines they are having. i think the reason why it was done like that is because usually the adults do not go back for their tetanus vaccination. usually nobody bothers with diphtheria because everybody thinks it is no longer an issue however, we have had large outbreaks in a refugee camp in bangladesh, as you have probably heard from last year. there is lots of diphtheria in russia, so it is a disease that might come back to us, so that is quite a good idea, and then the third one is that the vaccine is already made in this combination, so it is more of an effort to make a vaccine that only has a pertussis component because you would literally make that vaccine just for the pregnancy. last month, we exclusively revealed how the burning of plastic waste in indonesia, much of which has been sent there by us here in the west, is poisoning the food chain there. 0ne environmental group found that in one village in eastjava, toxic dioxins in chicken eggs were 70 times the level allowed by european safety standards.

long—term exposure to the chemicals is linked to cancer. it can damage the immune system and it can affect development. louis lee ray reports. parts of indonesia are awash with plastic waste. hundreds of thousands of tonnes of plastic were imported last year and it is ending up in remote villages. some is recycled, but huge mounds are dumped and burned. and we have discovered dangerous levels of highly toxic chemicals from burning plastic are making it into the food chain. one of the most shocking results that we have ever, ever had, especially in indonesia, we never have this kind of result before.

this is bangun, a small village in the east of java, indonesia's biggest island. but over the last few years, things here have started to change. since 2017 and ‘18, we have seen an increased influx of plastic entering indonesia. the uk, the us and australia all send waste to indonesia, supposedly to be recycled. last year, indonesia's plastic recycling industries imported around 300,000 tonnes of plastic waste. that on top of the 900,000 tonnes they got from within the country.

the uk sent 18,000 tonnes of plastic to indonesia in the first—half of this year and 55,000 tonnes of paper. that makes it the fourth biggest recipient of british waste in the world. prigi arisandi runs a local environmental organisation called ecoton. so why is plastic from the uk ending up in bangun? well, paper is key here. indonesia has some of the world's biggest paper mills. the factories nearby import around 40% of the paper they recycle, but the bales of old paper

are arriving with plastic in them. the paperfactories have no use for the plastic and the villagers buy it by the truckload. they sift through the waste, selling the better quality material onto plastic factories who reuse it. this lady has been living here for seven years. she says she earns up to £6 per day from the plastic and because of the money on offer, people here want more of it, not less. amongst the plastic scraps here as metal wiring, amongst the plastic scraps here as metalwiring, originally amongst the plastic scraps here as metal wiring, originally used to

hold the importing paper bills together. it can be sold on, too, but only after the metal has been stripped of its plastic coating, and to re m ove stripped of its plastic coating, and to remove the coating, they burn it. there is an increased number of cases of respiratory diseases. there are cases of respiratory diseases. there a re lots of cases of respiratory diseases. there are lots of cases we see where people burn the plastic piles. part of burning plastic is an issue here, it is far worse in a nearby village. this is one hour drive from bangun and is full of small factories making tofu, which is made from soybeans and widely eaten in indonesia. heat inside the factories is almost unbearable. they keep pots of water boiling hot as soybeans are used to make the tofu but what you might not expect is what is making the fuel for the fire.

the factory owners by this plastic from the sorters in bangun. this is a leading indonesian environmentalist who is part of an organisation that tries to eliminate harmful chemicals. it says recycle but earth aware, but it has ended up here to be learned. while burning plastic can lead to respiratory illness, it releases highly toxic

chemicals. they can make it into the food chain. we take the samples of eggs and analyse them to the lab for dioxins and other chemicals. when dioxins and other chemicals. when dioxins enter the food change, they are stored in animal fat, dioxins enter the food change, they are stored in animalfat, so dioxins enter the food change, they are stored in animal fat, so this is are stored in animal fat, so this is a good way of testing the dioxins. it could be a very harmful level to people's help. we can now reveal that testing earlier this year found the second highest levels of dioxins in eggs ever recorded in asia, 70 times over the safe level set by the european food safety authority. the results of the research are one of the most shocking results that we ever had. especially in indonesia. we never have this kind of results before. you wouldn't get ill at

eating the odd egg long—term exposure can lead to problems, damaging the immune system and even cause cancer. that is according to the world health organization. while the world health organization. while the results of the first round of testing were shocking, the sample size was small. the team are still waiting on the results of the second round. on the other side of indonesia's biggest island, there is a village on the outskirts of ja ka rta a village on the outskirts of jakarta and on the middle of a fightback against unwarranted plastic waste. plastic is still being burned here but things were much worsejust a being burned here but things were much worse just a few months ago.

the fumes have had a shocking impact on the people living in the local neighbourhood. at one point, traders were burning plastic nearby throughout the night. this lady's daughter is three. she has had a bad cough, seizures and trouble breathing. —— this man's daughter is three.

the situation got tense. after discussions between local leaders and plastic traders, the biggest open of burning plastic stops. there is evidence that a change in government policy is having an impact. they started stopping containers of waste from entering the country. lorries line the road outside your local plastic factories. their content seized by indonesian customs. but it remains to be seen whether the government can stop the tide of importing and if they cannot prevent people from burning plastic, things will only get worse. finally, millions of you have watched our interview with a divine liverpool fan who knocked himself unconscious ofa lamp fan who knocked himself unconscious of a lamp post and while running

after mo salah. lee fowler and his brother were trying to get the striker‘s attention as he was driving out of the training base. mo salah comes out of his car and sometimes they stop if you run after them or sometimes a spot anyway so i ran with my brother and... because, in my excitement, i wasn't focusing on what was in front of me, i was looking to the left because that is where mo salah was my car was, i ran into a where mo salah was my car was, i ran intoa lamp where mo salah was my car was, i ran into a lamp post. i think that mo salah felt bad and he pulled over, he was worried about me. my brother and someone i met, they both told mo salah that i could have injured myself and that i'm hurt on the floor, so then they carried me back to my house and he called an ambulance, and we were not expecting mo salah at all. what happened? you knocked on the door? mo salah in driving two are close in his car and

we walked out, and mo salah check if i was we walked out, and mo salah check if iwas ok, we walked out, and mo salah check if i was ok, he was really worried about me and we got pictures. it was great, but it was also not the best because of my nose. what do you think of mo salah? what card as you drive? a bentley. might make the bentley drive? a bentley. might make the be ntley we nt drive? a bentley. might make the bentley went into your close? what do you think about the fact he came back, took some photos? i think that is really kind hearted of him. it's a great trait. i love him very much because he's amazing. do you love him, too? yeah. what about you, joe? yeah, he is a top guy to be fair. so shocked when he came back because it might not be a big deal to some people, i've got to understand that these football players have cameras everywhere watching them. it is a big thing for him to come back. usually caring and compassionate

towards the boys and he made their day so i want is a big thank you to him and everyone at liverpool, they are also great with the kids and we going wait outside which is most days. they are just so great and mo salah is a top guy. lets have a look at the photograph you had with him. we shown it already but... you still look really upset there i think. i've got two boys and i feel really maternal. obviously that is your hero, he is a legend for coming back but all this blood pouring down your face in your eyes look a bit teary. it was because... when i hit the bmp it was because... when i hit the lamp post, my nose was bleeding quite bad and going down to my mouth and all sorts, so i was really happy to see mo salah but at the same time, my nose was in so much pain so it was kind of a sad smile. i don't know. my back i know what you mean. well, listen, what do you want to

say to him, finally? if mo salah was watching right now, what would you say? i would say i love him, he is the best and hopefully he scores a hat—trick against chelsea. the best and hopefully he scores a hat-trick against chelsea. what would you say? i would say he's the best and he is so nice to everyone, he has such a kind heart. he'sjust like... i hope he scores a as well. thank you so much. you have been an absolute delight. that knows all keep on getting better. looks good. that's it for now, we are back on january six live at 10am are two on the bbc news channel. meantime, if you have a story, you can contact us on twitter. thanks for watching.

hello. the weather is in no great rush to change at the moment. what you have got pretty much will do you probably for the rest of the weekend. and if your weather happens to look anything like this, that will not come as great news. it is not wall—to—wall misery by any means at all. there are some gaps in the cloud, the borders faring quite well, anywhere to the eastern side of the pennines, because there the south to south—westerly flow has a chance of breaking up the cloud as it moves over the higher ground, so the north—eastern quarter of wales, the eastern side of the pennines, in one or two spots, could fare quite nicely, but further north there is a weather front around, it has brought rain already today. it will continue to do so during the course of the night, the wind noticeable, too, across the north—western quarter of scotland where it will stay pretty mild overnight. further south and east there is a chance there will be some gaps in the cloud later on in the night. despite the fact we are all engulfed in this relatively mild swathe of air which extends across, as you see, much of western europe, there is just the chance, as we get on into sunday, that we may see more in the way of gaps in the cloud, particularly across the south—eastern quarter of the british isles.

the front is still there to be had, the thicker cloud across the north and north—west of scotland but as you come further south, lots of dry weather on sunday and there is a chance of an improving picture with regard to the amount of sunshine across the east midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia, perhaps parts of the south—east. temperatures here not spectacular, at their highest, perhaps 13, 1a, 15 degrees if you get a little bit of brightness, somewhere like the moray coast. on monday, and as far ahead as that, the only significant change is to drag this weather front further south, just seeing signs of the air coming more from the north—west, behind that weather feature, so if you're close to it, you will get cloud and rain but later in the day, perhaps something brighter. on tuesday, that weather front will have worked its way across the whole of the british isles and eventually we will see things turning cooler and fresher, but ahead of that front on monday, across the south, there is an indication we could see drier, brighter conditions. if you have a plan for new year's eve, it should be mostly dry. there could be just a touch of fog.

this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at five: recognised in the new year honours list, but the cabinet office apologises, after the home addresses of more than a thousand recipients were accidentally published online. more than 70 people are believed to have been killed in a car bomb attack in somalia, many of the dead were students. a woman whose husband and two children drowned, on christmas eve, in a swimming pool in spain, says all three could swim, and blames a fault with the pool. and after becoming the first woman to win a match at the pdc darts world championship — fallon sherrock says she's like to see more mixed darts events — that and all the rest of the sport at 5:30.
