harry richford died at the queen elizabeth the queen mother hospital in margate in 2017. the trust say they wholeheartedly apologise for the failings in harry's care. it comes after the bbc revealed yesterday that there have been at least seven preventable baby deaths at the east kent nhs trust. with more, here's our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan. a warning, his report contains flashing images. we didn't get to hold harry until the day that he died. i'm so glad we got to spend those seven days with him and see him. it means he was a real, living human being for those seven days and that means everything to us. tom and sarah should have their toddler son buzzing around them on their seaside walk but a catalogue of maternity failures robbed the young couple of harry within days of his birth. if harry had brain damage similar to what he had when he died and he was under my care during those seven days i would be held accountable for that. but nobody has at the hospital.

it all went wrong on this maternity unit over a two hour period one november night. first, a locum doctor, described as out of his depth, delayed delivering the baby. the coroner said he should never have been in charge that evening. he never had his cv checked by a consultant, as was the process. it doesn't feel like a very safe culture or a safe environment if that's the case. harry was born pale and floppy but he would have survived and been healthy if a paediatrician hadn't failed for 28 minutes to properly resuscitate him. everyone in theatre was panicking. the anaesthetist came up to me and said to me, "i'm going to put you under general anaesthetic," and i was glad that he was going to do that because i didn't want to be in that room any more. i've had to live with that for a long time because it meant that tom had to leave the room having seen harry being resuscitated because it was not a nice atmosphere to be in and it was panicked.

it didn't feel like anybody was really in control. gravely ill, harry was transferred to a nearby intensive care unit but he never recovered and his parents were advised to turn off his life—support system. it was the worst week in our life in some respects, because you don't want to make that decision for your baby, but at the same time, you don't want your baby to grow up not having a good quality of life. east kent hospitals trust today apologised for the care it provided. it didn't address, however, why they'd initially recorded harry's death as "expected" and had refused four for months to tell the coroner of his case. both decisions would have meant they faced less scrutiny over the care they had provided.

but they didn't account for the determination of harry's family to get to the truth. now personally vindicated, their focus today was to ensure other families don't suffer as they have. we don't want this to be like all of the prior cases which we heard about yesterday when the news broke. there were a number of cases which the bbc investigated and they found out all of those cases, had they learned from those cases, we wouldn't be stood here today because harry would still be alive and well. that was tom richford ending that report there. michael is with me now. what about mothers who are expecting to give birth at the hospital. should they be worried? it is important to remember at the outset that the vast majority, the overwhelming majority of women in this country have a safe and healthy experience when giving birth and there is a lot of work being done to make things better. there is an initiative called each baby counts which is an initiative to improve the investigations when things go wrong so the investigations when things go wrong so they go wrong less often but that said we are not as good as oui’ but that said we are not as good as our european neighbours at maternity outcomes and we have all heard of the scandals like morecambe bay, shrewsbury and telford and there is clearly a problem at east kent. there is national data that indicates that mortality rates for

still bones and newborns are higher in that area than in similar units, and as we reported there have been sudden preventable deaths there since 2016. —— stillbirths. the care quality commission has gone in and there was an unannounced inspection this week because of concerns they have over maternity care in margate in particular. what the trust are saying is if you are a pregnant woman in that area and you have any concerns you should approach your midwife. michael buchanan, thank you. authorities are trying to trace 2,000 people who have flown from wuhan in china into the uk in the past fortnight. it comes as the chief medical officer says that 1a people who've already been tested in the uk for coronavirus have been given the all clear. in china, travel restrictions have been widened as the death toll climbed to 26 — and hundreds more were infected. people are being stopped from leaving the city of wuhan, where the virus originated, and there are also severe travel restrictions in several other cities. cases of the virus have been reported in neighbouring countries such as japan, thailand, south korea and singapore and two confirmed cases

in the united states. here's our medical correspondent, fergus walsh. ten days from now on this waste ground in wuhan will be a brand—new hospital. the extraordinary pace of building a sign of how seriously china is taking the threat from the new coronavirus. the prefabricated building will have 1000 beds. it is urgently needed because hospitals in wuhan are overwhelmed with potential cases. the symptoms include cough, fever and breathing problems. and down like a dozen cities have now been quarantined, affecting more than 30 million people. as you see, nobody here, it is absolutely empty. this should be the busiest time of

yearfor this should be the busiest time of year for travel and for hotels, but this one in wuhan is deserted. in downing street, borisjohnson hosted a reception to mark chinese new year. the government's emergency cobra committee also met to discuss the risk to the uk, which is considered low. we think that there's a fair chance we may get some cases over time. of course, this depends on whether this continues for a long time, but i think we should definitely see this asa think we should definitely see this as a marathon, not a sprint. there are still some key unknowns about this virus. how contagious is it? early case reports from china suggest people with no symptoms may be able to spread the virus. how deadly is it? so far, around one in four confirmed cases is severe. and most of those recover. it seems less deadly than sars which killed nearly 800 people worldwide. and what is the source?

we're confident the virus jumped from animals to humans, but until the source is pinpointed, perhaps bats or snakes, there is a risk of completely new infections. this is the first image of the coronavirus. work is already under way to develop a vaccine. we can, potentially, move from years up to 16 weeks to get a vaccine developed and for very early clinical testing as long as all goes well. for now, the world can only wait and see what impact china's control measures will have on the spread of this virus. fergus walsh, bbc news. the government's spending watchdog says the risk and complexity

of building the high speed two rail line were underestimated from the start. the national audit office says neither the department for transport or hs2 ltd allowed for all uncertainties when estimating initial costs. issues such as poor ground conditions emerged. a leaked review this week said it could be over £100 illion — tens of billions more than original estimate. seamus mallon has died at the age of 83. he was one of the most influential figures 83. he was one of the most influentialfigures in 83. he was one of the most influential figures in the 83. he was one of the most influentialfigures in the peace process and was the first person to hold the post of deputy first minister in the power—sharing devolved government set up after the good friday. —— good friday agreements. joseph mccann — who's been described as one of the country's most dangerous sex offenders — was jailed last month for at least 30 years for kidnapping and raping women and children last summer. after he was caught, it emerged that he should have still been behind bars serving time for previous violent offences — but he had been released by mistake. now the first of his victims to speak publicly has told the bbc

that she has never received an official apology and she believes seniorfigures should be held to account for probation failings. she's been speaking to our home affairs correspondent, june kelly. held captive in this car is the first of the womenjoseph mccann kidnapped and raped. in the fortnight that followed, he targeted another ten victims. the youngest, a boy of 11. the eldest, a woman of 71, who has now spoken to us. he said, "i've got a knife, i've killed somebody this morning." like all rape victims, she has anonymity. but in this first interview by any of mccann's victims, she describes how he abducted her as she got into her car. i shouted, "get out of my car!" and he punched me in the face. and he said, "i'm sorry, i'm sorry. it's because you shouted at me. i wouldn't want to do that. i've got a grandma." mccann was already wanted for attacks in watford, london and lancashire when he turned up at this supermarket in greater manchester,

hunting for his next victim. and it was in the car park that he punched and abducted the grandmother. he forced her to drive onto the motorway. she was kept prisoner in her own carforfour and a half hours. mccann stopped the car and raped her. he also kidnapped a 13—year—old girl off the street, forced her into the car with them and sexually assaulted her. the older victim took a chance when mccann fell asleep. she pulled off into a service station. i was working out all the time while we were driving, how am i going to get out of this situation? and i knew i would not outrun him and i knew i had to get to where there would be a lot of people. so i drove right up to a group of people, just got out and ran towards them and said, abducted and whatever. the little girl got out as well. and he ran after me and wrenched the keys out of my hand and drove off in the car.

joseph mccann was eventually found hours later hiding up a tree. it emerged that at the time he was roaming around the country raping women and children, he should have been in prison. a man with a history of violence, he had been wrongly released. joseph mccann's case represents a catastrophic failure by the criminaljustice system. but this victim says there's one thing she hasn't received. have you ever had an apology? i've not had an apology. it would have been nice to have had something a bit more personal, i think. for somebody to come and see you? see me or a letter or something, you know? just something that recognises the victims, really, isuppose, yeah. hello! following mccann's mistaken release, two probation staff were sacked, one demoted. but all those who suffered at the hands of mccann have paid the price for a system in crisis, according to this victim. it's always the front line workers

that get disciplined and that probation office was understaffed, had low morale and that was because of the changes that had been brought in by grayling. that's chris grayling ? chris grayling. who privatised part of the patient service. who privatised part of the probation service. and i think people that made those decisions at high levels should be brought to account. in response, chris grayling, the former justice secretary, who was responsible for the part privatisation, stressed that mccann was under the supervision of the national probation service, which remained in the public sector and wasn't part of any privatisation programme. and he said the problems in this case were down to the operational failure of a small number of staff. and when it comes to the lack of an apology, the ministry ofjustice says it recently began making contact with the victims. i'm doing this interview because i know a lot of the other victims are not in any state to do it. fortunately, i am. i'm older. i've had a good life and i'm not letting it ruin my life.

they're all young women and children. they've got that for the rest of their lives. june kelly is with me now. unthinkable what those victims went through and that woman and incredible she hasn't had an apology. what an incredible woman she is speaking to us like that. she said there hasn't been enough focus on the victims. she spoke to us because she thinks what happened to mccann was down to the fact the probation service had been partly privatised, and she said that lead toa privatised, and she said that lead to a lot of experienced people leaving, and she thinks that had a knock—on effect on the entire system, including the public part of the system which was supervising joseph mccann. last year, it emerged that the area supervising him was 100 probation officers short and a report this month said there were 600 vacancies across england and wales, so this gives you an indication of the scale of the

problem. the part privatisation has been regarded as a failure and is now being reversed. but chris grayling, justice secretary who brought it in, was adamant it wasn't a factor in this case. our interviewee, as you heard, disagrees. meanwhile, the ministry ofjustice says there is going to be a review on makoun, which has already been done, and will be shared with the victims and our interviewee, as you heard, disagrees. meanwhile,, interviewee, as you heard, disagrees. meanwhile, , the interviewee, as you heard, disagrees. meanwhile,, the ministry ofjustice says there is going to be a review on mccann, which has already been done, and will be shared with the victims and our interviewee says forward to receiving her copy. looking forward to receiving her copy. —— a review story this evening. the time is 6:16pm. our top story this evening. a coroner criticises a hospital for the "wholly preventable" death of a week—old baby. his parents call for an inquiry. coming up — a helping hand for prince charles as he meets christian leaders in bethlehem and visits the grave of his grandmother for the first time. coming up on sportsday on bbc news... england start the final test well, but lose four wickets against south africa, including ben stokes — who could be trouble after appearing to swear at a fan as he walked off.

multipack tins — they're a staple of most supermarket shopping and it does mean you save a bit of money. but multipacks come wrapped in plastic and that's doing nothing to save the planet. now tesco is to ditch all its plastic wrapping from multipack tins in an effort to eliminate an estimated 67 million pieces of plastic in the uk every year. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. multipacks — we love ‘em. buy more, save more, from baked beans and tinned tomatoes to pasta, tuna and soups. they're a big seller — we buy more than 200 million multipacks a year at our main supermarkets alone. tesco is now getting rid of this wrapping from every single tin, saving 350 tonnes of plastic waste a year. it will require you and i to change the way we shop, because we've got used to the convenience of picking one six—pack of tuna, and now we'll have to pick up

the number of tins that we want. same tuna, same value, but with no plastic. goodidea? very good idea. i really do get upset about the amount of plastic i take home. when it's as bad as that, that isjust ridiculous. it's useful when you're grabbing it, i've only got to grab one thing instead of three. but yes, it does annoy me and i suppose it's bad for the planet as well. it takes the whole supply chain for a change on this scale to happen. this is europe's largest food factory. heinz here in wigan churns out a billion tins a year, many wrapped in this non—recyclable plastic film. making the move with tesco will obviously help ensure that we are having those conversations with other retailers and that we open the doors to the possibility of eliminating shrink—wrap from all of our multipacks. getting rid of all this plastic wrapping seems such an obvious thing to do. of course, it's just a tiny fraction of the plastic that still ends up in our shopping trolleys. but the pressure is

now on to remove it. this is an easy place to start. it will happen from march, another step by our supermarkets in ditching the plastic we don't need. emma simpson, bbc news. the foreign secretary, dominic raab, has accused the us government of a "denial ofjustice" after it refused an extradition request for the woman accused of killing teenage motorcyclist harry dunn. the 19—year—old died in august after a collision with a car driven by anne sacoolas, the wife of a us intelligence officer. after the accident, she left britain for the united states, claiming diplomatic immunity. duncan kennedy's report contains some flash photography. it was last august harry dunn died here, and today the scene was still framed by the caring tributes of those who loved him. anne sacoolas, pictured on her wedding day, is the american woman who's been charged with causing harry's death by dangerous driving. there was no sign of her today at this house in washington dc,

where she was living. she flew to america after the accident, claiming diplomatic immunity. this afternoon, harry's family gathered to give their reaction to the news that the american government has now refused to extradite mrs sacoolas to britain. a decision harry's mum says is difficult to believe or accept. what does this do to your fight to get anne sacoolas back? just gives us more determination to carry on. it's just another hurdle. we've come across lots of them since the 11th of october. and it's just another one that we will get over, eventually. this is just a setback, not the end? absolutely. it certainly is. it won't be the end, it never will be the end, we're not going anywhere. the decision to block the extradition was taken at the highest level, with mike pompeo, the secretary of state, formally telling the british government. the americans insist mrs sacoolas was covered by diplomatic immunity at the time of the accident. it is now nearly five months

since harry died here, and his parents had been expecting that it would be for the american courts to decide whether to extradite anne sacoolas. now that the american government has stepped in, they do see that as a setback, but say their fight will go on. tonight, the dunns' local mp, business secretary andrea leadsom, met the family and said they had the full support of boris johnson in their fight. the prime minister is very much on the side of the family in their desire to see justice done for harry. and all of us in government are working towards that end. harry done's family have already started a series of protests outside the american base anne sacoolas left moments before the accident. the family have set aside the grieving in order to garner support for their

cause, one day say there will not be silenced. duncan kennedy, bbc news, northamptonshire. the metropolitan police will stop using facial recognition cameras on the streets of london. they would be used to identify suspects wanted for severe and violent crimes. the police say the camera correctly identify 70% of suspects. civil liberties campaigners meeting the are a threat to civil liberty. thousands of people have marched on the streets of baghdad to demand that all us troops be expelled from iraq. tensions have been heightened by the american military‘s assassination of the iranian general, qasem soleimani, in baghdad. the march was called for by the influential shia cleric moqtada al—sadr, and received support from iraqi shia militia groups. the prince of wales has called for "unity and tolerance" among different faiths on his first formal visit to the occupied palestinian territories. during a speech in bethlehem, prince charles said he would pray for "a just and lasting peace" in the middle east. he has also held talks with the palestinian

president, mahmoud abbas. 0ur royal correspondent jonny dymond has this report. a palestinian welcome for the prince. this is the first time he's set foot in the occupied palestinian territories. a diplomatically delicate day started at the only mosque in bethlehem's old city.

ben stokes's was the last wicket to fall with the england all—rounder getting involved in an expletive laden attack on someone in the crowd asjoe wilson reports. 6,000 feet above sea level in johannesburg, england were making good progress. through zak crawley and then dom sibley, england in fact got past 100 runs without losing a wicket. then the collapse came. a series of wickets fell, a series of catches were taken... both openers gone, and then joe denly followed. now this time, ben stokes could not assist. he was dismissed forjust two. naturally, he would be disappointed. but after these pictures, the television coverage next showed him aggressively addressing someone in the crowd. we've bleeped out the worst of the language. now, that footage inevitably sped

through social media as at the sports personality of the year sat on the dressing room balcony. stokes knows how attention follows him. he also knows the behaviour expected of him. well, england closed the day 192—4. joe root and ollie pope survived. there is nowhere to hide in a test match and the cameras capture every emotion, as ben stokes is aware. and you can see him with the fans at the close of play here — a different interaction, all part of the same man. joe wilson, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. it has been a bit reluctant to change over the last few days, we've had a lot of cloud, misty, murky and drizzly weather for most of us. if you go to see some sunshine today. that's how we start the weekend. you can see this haze of grey, that is oui’ can see this haze of grey, that is our low cloud, out in the atlantic we have a stripe of bright white

cloud, this will bring a change in the weather but only through the second half of the weekend. for the time being, we are stuck with all the cloud, the odd spot of drizzle, some more meaningful rain for a time across some parts of scotland. if you get some clear spells in southern england they do, it could be cold enough for a touch of frost. most be cold enough for a touch of frost. m ost pla ces be cold enough for a touch of frost. most places holding between four and seven sources. tomorrow, a lot of grey, cloudy weather with mist and hill fog. a few brighter spells elsewhere, but also brightening up across the north—east of scotland because the wind will be picking up, breaking the cloud to some extent. at the same time, some rain pushing into north—west scotland. temperatures of eight to 10 celsius. this frontal system will be moving in as we get into sunday, bringing outbreaks of rain but also behind it a change to something colder. the raina a change to something colder. the rain a staggering eastwards through the day on sunday. it will be quite a windy day as well, particularly ahead of that rain band. behind it,

things will turn brighter but they will also start to turn colder. temperatures across the north west coming down as the day goes on, five or six celsius in the west of scotland. the double digits towards the south east. the rain slides across the south east over the evening and through sunday night, a weather feature pushing evening and through sunday night, a weatherfeature pushing in from evening and through sunday night, a weather feature pushing in from the west, that could give some snow to fairly low levels across the northern half of the uk. that's worth bearing in mind for monday morning. could be icy as well. the start of the week will be colder, often quite windy with a mix of sunshine and showers. so it is 00:28:36,488 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 eventually going to change.
