1:38 pm
to be able to play the game under pressure that we want to be able to play. it isa it is a huge six nations weekend. sports day this evening at 6:30pm will be live at murrayfield ahead of the clash between scotland and england. we will also be live at dublin. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. keep an eye on that cricket in durban but more covers are coming on there so it is not looking promising. we will have more in the next hour. more now on our top story, gp manish shah who has been given three life sentences with a minimum term of 15 years for molesting women in his surgery. detective superintendent tara mcgovern has been speaking to our correspondent helena wilkinson outside court. well, he has been sentenced to life imprisonment and he will not be eligible for consideration of parole for 15 years so at that stage
1:39 pm
they will make a determination as to whether or not he is safe to be released and he doesn't present an issue around public protection. thejudge in her sentencing remarks said he was a master of deception, what is, in your view, having investigated this case for a long time, how would you sum up the true character of this man? well, he placed himself in a busy surgery as a gp and he accessed vulnerable women and preyed on their vulnerabilities so that he could carry out unnecessary clinical examinations for his own sexual gratification. he clearly has caused some significant harm to these women who have come forward and spoken to us and he has betrayed the trust that they had placed in him as their doctor. tell us a bit more about
1:40 pm
the impact on his victims. many of these women are now facing anxiety, panic attacks, they have lost their trust in the medical profession and some of them are now not going to have medical procedures that they require because they are so concerned and they have little trust in doctors that they come across. this was a long investigation for you, four years or so, why has it taken so long to get to where we are today? it has been extremely complex. we have had a number of victims, we have spoken to over 130 victims, we have taken dozens of statements and we have sought lots of advice from experts during that time so yes, the victims in this case not only have demonstrated dignity and courage but they have also been extremely patient as we have been
1:41 pm
progressing this investigation supported by nhs england. what can you say today for people to be reassured when going to their doctor, hearing this case today, can they be? i would say this case is extremely rare and his behaviour was absolutely unacceptable. he was kissing and cuddling and carrying out intrusive examinations that were totally unnecessary but it is a very rare case and nhs does have processes in place to ensure that this is something that doesn't happen. again, just going back to what we said at the start, sum up for me this man. i think the judge summed it up best. he was a master of manipulation, he preyed on vulnerability and he accessed women for his own sexual gratification
1:42 pm
carried out unnecessary, intrusive examinations whilst abusing the trust of not only these women but the community that he should have been serving. doctors and sexual health experts are urging the health secretary to investigate what they're calling an "unacceptable" shortage of drugs to treat the menopause. many women have been struggling to access hormone replacement therapy for the past year. more recently, there's also been reported shortages of certain types of contraceptives which could lead to unplanned pregnancies and abortions. charlotte rose reports. more than a million women in the uk use hormone replacement therapy to relieve symptoms of the menopause but many have faced difficulty getting the specific brand or treatment they are used to, because of disruption to the manufacturing and supply chain. the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists and the british menopause society says it is still unclear why
1:43 pm
the shortages began and why they seem to be unique to the uk. they have accused the government of an extremely frustrating lack of transparency. women have been advised to consult their pharmacist over alternative treatments but the bbc has spoken to a number of women who say they cannot find an effective substitute. at the same time, there has also been reported shortages of certain contraceptives, particularly pills and self—administered injections. the faculty of sexual and reproductive health care has warned increasing the difficulty of accessing birth control could lead to a rise in unplanned pregnancies and abortions. women do not shout out loud, theyjust suffer in silence and that is why it is more important that people like ourselves, organisations like ourselves make everybody aware of what is happening to women. a department of health spokesperson said...
1:44 pm
it is thought the supply of patches used for hormone replacement therapy could start to improve from this month but without further action, many women could be waiting much longer for medication they rely on. charlotte rose, bbc news. torrential rain across the east coast of australia has extinguished a third of the fires in the region, officals say. a band of heavy downpours is sweeping across new south wales, dousing some of the country's most damaging and long—running wildfires and easing a drought. authorities have welcomed rain but has warned about flash flooding. sydney has seen more than 60 millimeters of rain in the past 2a hours. angelo ray daprile was only days old when he died at kings college hospital, but thanks to his mother's determination, the impact of his short life will be felt for years to come.
1:45 pm
faced with tragedy after a complicated birth, angelo's parents bravely decided to donate his tiny organs, something that's only been done a0 times in the last decade in the uk. jayne mccubbin reports. this is the most precious photo i have because it was the last hour of his life. he is there in the warmth of my arms and tojust cuddle him and tell him i love you so much. he knew, "ok, i'm with mum, it's all good, i can go." minutes after this photo was taken, baby angelo ray died, just eight days old. look at the mess up there. this is the story of one amazing mum, one amazing nurse and one amazing baby who died but whose legacy lives on.
1:46 pm
after a 39—week healthy pregnancy, valentina collapsed. she was rushed into hospital and told she very nearly died and she was told her son almost certainly would. i remember thinking, "you've got to feel better, you've got to get better, you've got to see that baby, because i wonder what he's thinking, ‘where is my mummy, i've been with her nine months, where has she gone?” angelo ray held onjust long enough for his mum to recover and hold him and take these precious pictures. he met his father, luigi, his big brother leone and between them they thought there was only one possible outcome from such a terrible tragedy. we looked at each other and thought, "what can we do, let's just donate the organs." what else could you do? there was absolutely nothing else we could have done and i remember amy said, "brilliant. "we don't have anything in place but i will find out and get back to you," and surely, she did.
1:47 pm
baby organ donation is incredibly rare. there have been only a0 donations in the last decade. angelo ray's gift would be a first for king's college hospital but not the last. as nurse amy introduced a new policy she is now trying to introduce in other hospitals and today, we've arranged a reunion. your family were just amazing. you did something so selfless and so unique. so after angelo, he wasn't the only baby that we could offer this to and seeing what it did for you, luigi, leone, seeing there was something else after he'd gone was huge for us. just hours before their meeting, valentina received a phone call she will never forget. one of his valves has been put to use. that's amazing — oh, my goodness. when i received the phone
1:48 pm
call, i cannot tell you. yes, yes. and i was like, oh, my god, there is a baby out there somewhere that is surviving. notjust because of angelo, because of you guys. it's one of the only sensible things one can do when there is nothing else. what else can you do? their gift has helped a baby with a congenital heart defect to live, and since baby angelo ray, another new life has arrived in the family home. this is matteo rainbow, rainbow because he has brought us much light. you knew some good could come of this. it wasn'tjust in my head, it was in my heart. this story is about hope. for every mum that lost a baby
1:49 pm
a child, the worst nightmare is if they will be forgotten. in the worst moment, there is hope somewhere, even if it's small, that families can hold onto. so i know that angelo ray will not be forgotten. and i know that. his little feet and his hands. the headlines on bbc news: a gp who committed dozens of sex offences against former patients at his surgery has been given three life sentences with a minimum term of 15 years. a british national on board a quarantined ship injapan has tested positive for coronavirus. so far 61 passengers have taken ill. the case of a teenager who threw a young boy off the balcony of the tate gallery is being reviewed, after the bbc obtained a recording of him telling carers about his plans to kill a year before. this sunday, hollywood's finest will be walking down the red carpet at this year's oscars, some for the very first time.
1:50 pm
among them will be brits nominated for awards ranging from best director to best visual effects, as sophie long has been finding out. it's this weekend, hollywood's biggest night of the year, and the buzz is building, but imagine what it feels like to learn you're going to be one of the people to walk or glide up this red carpet on sunday, especially if it's for the very first time. it really was unexpected. i was in a kind of laughing, crying, state, and i hadn't expected to feel quite so emotional about it. i am a bit of a cynic about it all. the whole thing was crazy. i'm on a plane and i can't go anywhere so i tell the air stewardess and she tells everybody else and it'sjust like madness, and they brought a little plate of food, they wrote congratulations on a note. it was really special. i've been grinning ear to ear since last monday when sandy called to let me know i would be nominated, so it's amazing.
1:51 pm
i'm terrible, i'mjust a child at heart. i love this experience. i've never lost the buzz,that feeling, oh, my gosh, i'm sitting next to dicaprio, or there is al pacino. i am grinning because he is grinning! it'sjust as exciting as the first time. but the first time is pretty amazing. there is a magic to it. it means so much and it's something that, you know, it's like an event in your life, like the world cup or something. and it's notjust the recognition of one's peers. the award, the honour. it's the company you get to keep. it would be amazing to meet robert de niro or meet al pacino. these are people i grew up with, as well as any of today's. margot robbie, would be lovely to meet margot robbie. quentin tarantino is a great director, i would love to meet him. brad pitt, iwouldn't mind meeting him! i don't think he's going to want to meet me. i look forward to seeing people i haven't seen for a while, it's really nice.
1:52 pm
it's a celebration of film and i don't look at it any other way. brad pitt, it's a bit strange because he is like a proper film star. this is the green room where stars will come before going on stage to reveal the winners and present the awards. or where the winners might come if they need to take a moment. but how do they prepare? they must‘ve written speeches. rehearsing your oscar acceptance speech with or without tears is what normal people do when they're bored, right? it's personal, you know. i did actually write something once. i've never done it since. i know that there are people i have to say thank you to. it's not a long list because you always want to keep those things short. that's the thing. i already told myself there is no chance i will win so whatever happens will be a bonus. my heart is already beating a little faster knowing that i might have to get up on that stage. i kind of think it's just better to be spontaneous and just feel the moment
1:53 pm
and hopefully don't forget people. i daren't think i will ever have to get up there. if i do i will speak from the heart but it tends to be what i've been doing in the last few years, just speak from the heart. whatever they say... ..however they say it... ..anyone who walks away from here with a gold statuette will have their pick of the afterparties. oscar opens a lot of doors. sophie long, bbc news, hollywood. a us woman'sjourney to be reunited with her long lost dog will soon have a happy ending thanks to a can of beer. monica mathis' dog hazel vanished from her iowa yard in may 2017. after searching far and wide, monica and her family were convinced they would never see her again. but today, they're set to be reuinted, after hazel completes a 26 hour road trip to get back home. earlier my colleague
1:54 pm
joanna gosling spoke to monica, and hans wohlgefahrt from friends of manatee county animal services, on the victoria derbyshire programme. she asked monica how she's feeling about the upcoming reunion. it feels like a miracle. literally. it really feels like a miracle. it is unreal. so, when you saw her face on a beer can because it was part of a campaign to find a new home for dogs who didn't have one, what did you think? i was like, i think that's my dog! you know, and i was nervous at first but i was also excited because i was pretty sure that that was her and ijust had to find out if that was really her because i had been looking for herfor so long. she had been missing. i was shocked. hans, you are in a hotel room with hazel, you have been on the road already for 20 hours
1:55 pm
driving from florida to get to minnesota for this reunion. how do you feel about being a part of this incredible story? i mean, i work for a shelter and this is the work i do and i am, you know, this story isjust so amazing and day day or hazel was a long—time dog in the shelter, she came in march 2019 so, you know, she has grown special to us and now that we are going to get her reunited, we are just really happy that i can be part of this process. you said day day or hazel because when it wasn't known what her past was, she was being called day day. when you first called her hazel, did she show recognition? how did she respond?
1:56 pm
it is hard to say because she has had a lot different iterations of that name, we have day day hazel but i think she responds to both of them now but i think she definitely responds more to hazel. she is very wilful, she is very affectionate, she wants to be close to whoever she can be and be right by their side so i think there is no better dog actually, she really loves getting to the hotels at night when she gets to lounge about a bit and relax and it has been quite the road trip. she needs to stop every two hours, it is either for a potty break or even, we call them affection breaks, because she just needs affection every two hours so ijust take the time out to stop and give her a little love. oh my gosh, that is so gorgeous. monica, what do you want to say to hans who is bringing your dog home after all this time on this
1:57 pm
incredible road trip? he is on the road for 26 hours to reunite you. i'm so grateful to hans and the shelter for doing what they are doing for my family and my dog to come home. i am so grateful to them. a happy ending. now it's time for a look at the weather with lucy martin. ata at a fairly quiet spell of weather we will see a real changing gear as we will see a real changing gear as we move into this weekend. we will start to see signs of that through saturday. for many there will be some dry weather on saturday and some dry weather on saturday and some sunny some dry weather on saturday and some sunny spells but the winds will pick up in the north and west with some heavy persistent rain pushing in. that will become more widespread overnight, those winds becoming widespread as well before we see storm ciara bringing stormy weather on sunday. there will be heavy rain and some potential for big waves and we are looking at severe gales widely across the uk for that we can see storm ciara here on the pressure chart as it works its way in from the west to bring that spell of
1:58 pm
heavy rain and strong winds. more on that in a moment. first, in the here and now, it is a fairly calm and settled picture. a little bit of low cloud lingering for eastern areas first thing that some good spells of sunshine, always cloudy in the west and the cloud could be thickened up with the odd spell of rain and drizzle but it could turn rainy in the north and west. outbreaks of rain will sweep eastwards, that rain can be heavy and persistent, particularly for a time across scotland, parts of northern ireland, some showers feeding in behind that but to take a look at those temperatures, milder than they have been of late. we start the day on saturday perhaps a little lingering cloud in the south—east, patchy outbreaks of rain but for many some good spells of sunshine. a few showers in the north and west and then the sign of that change and heavy gales working into the north and west. that is a sign of things to come into the second half of the weekend. initially, that first band
1:59 pm
of rain pushes east and then storm ciara arrives into the early hours. storm ciara giving heavy, persistent rain, perhaps no ever higher ground as it gradually sinks south. there was in blustery showers feeding into the north and west behind that bit heavy, persistent rain also coupled with strong winds. widely, we are expecting gusts of 60 to 70 mph but locally we could see gusts higher than that in the north and west. that strength of wind could cause disruption and the met office has a yellow weather warning covering the whole of the uk for stop they are expecting to see great impact on the south and east, there is greater likelihood of those impacts here so they have issued an amber warning. stay tuned to the forecast.
2:00 pm
