did, i would have gone ahead and i still do today. we filled with maureen and ronn hogg just three months after he had been diagnosed with motor neuron disease. he died in december. his mind was totally unaffected and his sense of humour was unaffected and everybody who came in contact with him, continued to love him but having said that, his condition was deteriorating. almost... by the day. as the police crime commissioner, he joined colleagues across the uk to call for a change in the assisted dying law. when we came up to see you before, i asked your views on assisted dying and you said you were not there yet. have you changed your mind? at that point we were

just trying to get through each day, trying to get through each day, trying to get through each day, trying to manage. he was a cop for 30 years, a rugby playerfor 30 yea rs, are 30 years, a rugby playerfor 30 years, are bigger than life character but to see him cry, to be in that situation, it was just heartbreaking. and that is something that he had to live with and live through and something that the memory is something i have to live with for the rest of my life. it is not what i would have wished for so yes, i have changed my thinking. just days before his death, he was awarded a cbe. marina recognises the moral opposition but believes choice must be the overriding factor. —— maureen. he had decided to go to switzerland and make no bones about it, i would

being decriminalised. we heard and that film how maureen changed her mind seeing what her husband went through. what do you say to her? i think! never husband went through. what do you say to her? i think i never met ronn hogg and it is a tragic story and i have looked after many like him. for me, we are confusing to very different arguments and one is whether you think morally that society feels assisted suicide is morally 0k society feels assisted suicide is morally ok but the second is, would the law to change who would administer assisted suicide? all the bills table so far in the uk have mandated this as a medical duty of ca re mandated this as a medical duty of care for a doctor and that is what i think is wrong. i would also like to see think is wrong. i would also like to see that situations like these are

not cases for assisted suicide but actually a challenge to the government that, for health get to provide specialist palliative care, hospice care and end of life care which is fully funded. my hospice alone has to raise over 3a,000 pounds a day to provide the services to the1.5 pounds a day to provide the services to the 1.5 million people that we serve. that surely is the thing that is egregious and should be changed. we know hospices do phenomenal work and people who work in palliative ca re can and people who work in palliative care can be outstanding but do you acknowledge that perhaps insert ——in certain situations, palliative care cannot ease? palliative care is not the panacea. there are some people who want to die before their bodies are ready but there is single

situations and the law currently ta kes situations and the law currently takes us a society, the vulnerable, from singular situations and the law also prevents us as doctors from killing people and i think the law is sitting in a natural boundary thatis is sitting in a natural boundary that is a safe and any change to that is a safe and any change to that law that would mandate this as a treatment for doctors to use as a treatment i think is wrong. we know that actually the majority of the people that request assistance in that suicide is because of social reasons and not physical reasons but due to symptoms but actually feeling about and what does that say about society that would make us feel that we had to choose between suffering and suicide because we feel a burden to ourfamily and suicide because we feel a burden to our family society itself. what do you say to that argument,

that we should be investing in better palliative care, helping people rather than assisted dying? she has a point that, of course we need more resources. we have 600 palliative doctors in this country. no—one is arguing that but sometimes, like in ronn hogg's case, the suffering that they endure is terrible and they are dying and it is their decision, their choice to say i have said my goodbyes, i am their choice to say i have said my goodbyes, lam ready their choice to say i have said my goodbyes, i am ready to die now, their choice to say i have said my goodbyes, lam ready to die now, in the manner of my choosing. we have to accept that. this is something that countries have been doing this for years. and no—one has a challenge that... but the concerns around that, 0k,

challenge that... but the concerns around that, ok, you may specify their only particular conditions but they will creep outside of that and people, for example, in canada, people, for example, in canada, people who are terribly depressed may be seeking an option to end their life as well. i think this is where we have to have a mature conversation. of course, there are reasons people worry about it but the current situation is untenable. lam the current situation is untenable. i am faced looking after patients who were dying and despite a huge amount of help from palliative care consultants, district nurses, we try our best and it is still not good enough sometimes. i think we have to understand and acknowledge that. the point about creepers, it has not happened. we have protections if society decides this. we have somebody now who considers to go to switzerland, one a week some

estimate, people who are dying could decide to and it themselves, they refuse treatment which might make it worse for a while. we just fudge the issue and we do not have this conversation which is not for doctors to decide is wrong but was excited to say, we think it is time now where people should have the choice about how they and their lives especially when they are terminally ill and do not have much more to live. if we have that discussion we can put the safeguards in. the current situation is untenable and it is not fair. the argument is it is complicated and difficult and safeguards are tricky at the very least but it is up to our politicians and doctors to come up our politicians and doctors to come up with a system which works. what do you say? i would agree that it is for society to decide. these are societal issues and society

may decide they feel this is morally 0k and they want assistance stop i would suggest, in that case, we find a system hermetically sealed outside of medicine where as a doctor i am here to help people complete their lives well and live until they die but it is properly regulated and monitored and since outside medicine. the law as it stands has a natural boundary which is safe and we tinker with the law at our peril. thank you for your time. many thanks for coming in. the ministry ofjustice says any change in the law must be considered by mps as a matter of conscience, rather than a decision by the government. this goes beyond party politics. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i‘m victoria hollins. police are appealing for information and dashcam footage after two people died in a crash involving eight vehicles in east london. a man in his 40s and a woman in her 50s died at the scene on squirrels heath road in romford yesterday afternoon. six people were taken to hospital. there are warnings that cladding on residential tower blocks is becoming a big problem in london‘s housing market. new cladding guidelines, introduced in the wake of the grenfell tower fire, have left some tower block residents unable to sell or re—mortgage their properties, leaving many trapped and their homes valued at zero. there are no official figures on the number of flats affected, but those in the mortgage industry say there are no clear solutions. if someone is living in a property that does have a fire safety issue, then the lenders are powerless to do anything other than say that they are unable to lend on that property. so people who are looking to sell are struglging to find buyers who are able to actually buy it,

because those buyers often need a mortgage and they can‘t get a mortgage because of the nature of the building they are living in. the ministry for housing, community and local government says that building owners should follow expert advice to ensure any building safety risks are identified and fixed as a matter of urgency. it says it‘s working with the treasury to work out a way of addressing the cost. commuters on the bakerloo line can expect disruption over the weekend, due to strike action. members of the rmt union will walk out for 2a hours from 12 noon today in a row over timetable changes. there is another 2a—hour strike from sunday, so monday morning‘s rush hour will also be affected. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now... there‘s a good service on the tubes this morning. traffic on the highway through

wapping is busy. it is because of the words the cannon street road but not too bad according to that picture. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today should stay dry and there is even some brightness and some sunshine out there to kick off the morning, but it will turn cloudier and windier as we head through the afternoon. now, it‘s quite a chilly start to the morning. lots of early brightness and sunshine around. you can see the wind gusts here, in the black circles, they will start to increase as we head through the day and the cloud is going to thicken as well. maybe one or two light showers but i think it should stay dry. it will be quite windy as we head through the second half of the day. temperatures peaking at a mild 10 or 11 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, that cloud is only goin to thicken. that cloud is only going to thicken. it will stay rather blustery and there will be some outbreaks of mostly light, patchy rain and drizzle just sinking their way southwards into tomorrow morning. so for some a bit of a damp start to the day and a very mild one too, temperatures generally

in double figures on saturday. there will be some spells of brightness and sunshine. it will stay rather windy and very mild on the saturday — 13 or 1a degrees celsius. lots of dry weather during the day but some rain overnight on saturday, into sunday morning. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. our hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. gillian millane, the mother of the murdered backpacker grace millaine, has said she is heartbroken that she never had the chance to kiss her daughter goodbye. she spoke via a video link during the sentencing of grace‘s killer who will serve a minimum of 17 years in prison. grace was killed by the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, while on a date with him in auckland in 2018. vigils have been held across germany to remember the nine victims killed in wednesday‘s attack.the gunman opened fire on two shisha bars in the town of hanau (pron: ha—now)

in kilns. wood—burners and coal fires are the largest source of an air pollutant which can cause lung cancer, stroke and asthma. wolves were on fire last night. three years ago, they were just dreaming of getting into the premier league. theyjust dreaming of getting into the premier league. they just lost dreaming of getting into the premier league. theyjust lost six matches ina league. theyjust lost six matches in a row. they are looking pretty impressive. in fact, wolves manager nuno espirito santo told his side this to keep dreaming of winning the europa league, after they thrashed espanyol a—0. and it was rueben neves‘s goal that got the superlatives flowing — beautiful, stunning, absolute screamer — take your pick. you could almost have missed the fact that diogo jota scored his second europa league hat—trick in a row. most people manchester united manager ole gunnar solskjaer was relieved after they came away

from club bruges with a 1—all draw — anthony martial scoring the winner. solskjaer said the conditions were challenging — and the light match ball didn‘t help. i don‘t think it was one of the best games anyone has seen. i don‘t think it was one of the best games anyone has seen. a bit sloppy concentration wise. it makes it hard to ask any other players, many want to ask any other players, many want to play football. after nine games without a goal, it‘s now two in two matches for alexandre lacazette, who gave arsenal the upper hand in their tie against olympiakos. rangers produced an incredible comeback to beat braga at ibrox.they were 2—0 down with 25 minutes to go but yannis hagi orchestrated the turnaround, scoring twice to give them a 3—2 victory. he‘s the son of the romanian football legend giorgi hagi,

hockey history makers. they will each leave rio with a gold medal. great britain are the olympic champions and they are on top of the world. welcome, alex. it's been an overwhelming 2a hours for you, how are you feeling? it has been com pletely are you feeling? it has been completely overwhelming. i didn‘t know what to expect, i didn‘t expect the wonderful messages i‘ve received and to be able to tell them in person after what‘s been a fabulous 18 years. it was six weeks ago you had the conversation, hoping to go into tokyo,. it was very recently a new to make my decision and for a multitude of reasons, my head injury has made a part,

i situation within the family, and ijust knew now was my time, i have got nothing but banks, nothing but people to thank for what has been just a really joyous time for me. i look back and all i think about is the times i spent with my team travelling, the tournaments we‘ve been in and it‘s a very happy ending, not a sad one. alex, i‘m sure you must be fed up with telling people what happened to you but it‘s probably worth reminding our audience this morning, it was a completely freak accident which caused the head injury while you were on holiday with your husband. he said something and i was laughing, i flung my husband. he said something and i was laughing, iflung my head forward and back and i hit my head flush on the back of the brick wall. i knew pretty much straightaway that something wasn‘t quite right and progressively over the next six weeks i got worse and worse. was incredibly painful. i had a feeling something didn‘t feel right. it was

very slow and i progressively got worse and then really the last 18 months of being incredibly difficult but i‘m a different human to a year ago and i‘m lucky i will recover. i‘ve made enormous progress but i still have headaches most days and as still have headaches most days and asi still have headaches most days and as i said, the choice for me was to not taste the risk, to continue playing that there were a number of factors in my decisions. it's so unfairwe can factors in my decisions. it's so unfair we can play a sport like hockey, whether people worry about safety all the time. the irony was, it wasn‘t in the game and it‘s a very well—regulated and safe sport to play and i‘ve had a fabulous career. only ever been hit on my head once. it‘s one of those things. it shines a light on the individual nature of head injuries and how serious they can be. if i can use this platform for people to support

and understand people in those positions. to say thank you to gigabits hockey, england hockey, team—mates old and new because it‘s been the most incredible 18 years of my life and i wouldn‘t change a thing. alex, you are such a physical player as well. you actually did played down a little bit. like any top athlete would do. i think that something moving forward, when you‘re speaking to other people suffering head injuries, you can use that experience now.” suffering head injuries, you can use that experience now. i think! got to the stage in my recovery where it was important for me to integrate into the life i lead before. i had tabular support, i believe exercise and routine helps and it certainly helped my symptoms. it was definitely the right decision in the decision to not play, there were lots of reasons. but i can‘t look back. absolutely no regrets and that‘s a special feeling. back. absolutely no regrets and that's a special feeling. let's look

forward , that's a special feeling. let's look forward, what does the future hold? i don‘t want to go too far away from the game that‘s given me so much, the game that‘s given me so much, the relationships i‘ve built up. i have my own hockey academy and i would love for the sport i love, for more and more young people to be involved so that is where i will target a lot of my energy. this is a quote from great britain in england holly —— hockey, it‘s impossible to reflect how fortunate we have been to have alex as part of our sport, we will miss her hugely. her achievements in the sport should be an incredible source of pride. and motivation to others. you can't quite believe what you hear and what you read. no athlete ever has a career on their own. good luck for everything moving forward.

here‘s matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. especially after the last few days of butting. there is more to come in several respect, a very good morning. lovely sunrise across ca nary wharf morning. lovely sunrise across canary wharf in the south. it will stay dry, not the same story, the northern half of the country. the weather front is pushing away. this is the big picture. northern ireland northern england and over the next 24-36 northern england and over the next 24—36 hours, we will see several rivers all started to lift up once again on river levels. you can see where the rain is for the morning rush hour. parts of central and southern scotland, north—west england and it‘s going to be there all day long. brightening up in the far north of scotland are always staying dry and a lot more cloud around. here

are the wind gusts. south—east scotland, we could see wins top 60 miles per hour. it means temperatures in double figures. soggy across central and southern scotland. it should stay largely dry in east anglia and the south—east. turning colder. across scotland, some snow showers developing into tomorrow morning. a showery day on saturday. blizzards over the hills, a bit of sunshine in between. further south, a lot of dry weather still, the odd spot of rain, barely cloudy, 13 the high compared to four or five celsius cloudy, 13 the high compared to four orfive celsius in cloudy, 13 the high compared to four or five celsius in scotland. a cloudy, 13 the high compared to four orfive celsius in scotland. a big temperature contrast. lasting

through saturday night, some more persistent rain returning to wales. areas that have severe flood warnings, luckily it‘s not going to hang around too long, sunday is a case of lightening up across the south, most parts of the country drive. almost, should be quite a pleasa nt drive. almost, should be quite a pleasant day on sunday if a little on the cool side. as we finish sunday and go into monday with a cold air in ace, this next weather system, that could be disruptive snow across parts of scotland and turning stormy, another area of low pressure starts to push its way. we‘re not quite done with the wild and windy weather and a reminder, there are severe flood warnings. we should see the weather is easing across the next few days and over the short—term, the rivers across the short—term, the rivers across the north we will be keeping a close eye on through into tomorrow. keeping a close eye

on the river levels, in particular. you have heard about hs two, this is kind of hs poo. he has been thinking of that all morning. the thames tideway tunnel is the biggest overhaul to the sewers running beneath london since the victorian times. this week the constuction of the new "super sewer" reaches it‘s halfway point and ben is there finding out the secrets of the capital‘s sewage system. the things i have aligned this morning and, john, that joke the things i have aligned this morning and, john, thatjoke is unforgivable. we are right underneath the capital, 50 metres below the surface at the thames tideway tunnel or super souare. six boring machine working across

london. the conveyor belt bringing back some of the clay. the big ventilation at the top. that way is worse, the train line. that takes you out to east london. much further down under some of the prime real estate in london to the sewerage treatment work at the other. this is to deal with flooding which means raw sewerage and up in the river tamme. every time you flush and wash in the capital, the water enters a sewer network, over 1000 miles long. it was built over 150 years ago, by the victorian engineer, joseph bazalgette. at that time, london was home tojust 2 million people. today it is over eight million and the old pipes are struggling to cope. but the real problem comes when it rains. the drains flood and raw sewerage spills directly into the thames. originally designed to overflow just a few times a year,

it now happens around once a week. it means that 39 million tons of raw sewerage flow into the river thames every year and so the super sewer will take that overspill and pump it directly to a treatment plant, helping keep the river clean. it is as wide as three london buses and will eventually run for 15 miles across the city, roughly following the path of the thames. but it is a mammoth project. work began in 2016 and it is not due to be finished until 2024 and, with a nearly £5 billion pricetag, it does not come cheap. londoners will face higher bills to meet the cost but, with clearer pipes and a cleaner river, updating the ancient

infrastructure is long overdue. that is how it all works but it has been quite a feat of engineering to get to this state. we are now officially at the halfway point long way to go until 2024 the endpoint. mark, let me talk to you about this place because it is absolutely huge. what are some of the challenges? we are a0 metres underground and we have 23 of these sites throughout london. it is the biggest challenge we have. at the moment, we are in the west, tunnelling west for three kilometres. the machine is busy. delivering big projects like this is not come easily. we

do not have a great track record, hs2, delays. how confident you will get it done on time and on budget? we are five yea rs time and on budget? we are five years in and for years to go. we are well over halfway now. it is paid through the water bills and the £25 range is still where we. what is your involvement in this? you did one day in university and four days on—site? one day in university and four days on-site? i am part of the project manager. make sure it is built to cost, schedule safety. you get all this hands—on training as an apprenticeship. what things will you go on to do? at the end of my apprenticeship i have a degree in the civil and infrastructure engineering which allows me to work

in tunnelling, bridge engineering, highways, railways, so many options. this site is a very big and there are not very many women here. you are not very many women here. you are quitea are not very many women here. you are quite a novelty. how important is it for you to want to change that and for you to consider this as a career? i think it is important to get more young women into this industry because the more young women there are, you can see more people in the future working in the project, so if young women can look up project, so if young women can look up to people like me, they will be more confident coming into it. best of luck. a big undertaking. a sense of luck. a big undertaking. a sense of artwork has gone on so far. different materials, heavy clay at that end, chalk at the other but i am really, really glad i‘m here now, halfway stage, where everything is new because imagine what

it would be like when this is up and running. they‘re ready to open the floodgates right now! laughter. see you later. you‘re watching bbc breakfast. orlando bloom is the latest celebrity to admit he‘s made a tattoo blunder — the actor wrongly spelled his son‘s name on his arm in morse code. there was just one dot missing — meaning it read ‘frynn‘ rather than ‘flynn‘ — which was enough for him to quickly get it changed. he‘s not the only a—lister to make an ink—related gaffe — over the years many stars have altered their designs or removed them entirely. let‘s take a look at a few. this tattoo, on angelina jolie‘s left arm, was once a dragon symbol for her then husband billy bob thornton. after the split, the star altered it to feature the co—ordinates of her children‘s birthplaces. no trace of him whatsoever.

more recently rihanna ended up with some grammatically confusing french tattooed on her neck — "rebelle fleur"— which some said meant nothing at all, but which she argued made perfect sense. harry potter star emma watson joked she needed a tattoo proof reader after her temporary oscars inking had a grammatical error in 2018. her right arm featured a tribute to the time‘s up movement, but fans noticed there was an apostrophe missing. we‘re joined now by tattooist to the stars, louis molloy. you have done beckham, who else? andrew flintoff, more pleasant than ican shake andrew flintoff, more pleasant than i can shake a stick. made any mistakes? depends what you call mistakes. sometimes it is a case that the client can make you make a mistake by jumping or that the client can make you make a mistake byjumping or is in this case, the client might bring something in for you and sometimes they get it wrong. i'd dictated an

olympic gold medal status —— i tattoo but he gave me the wrong date. i hope he is watching and cringing. did they come back to you and get it sorted out? the same day. how is it is it to fix? sometimes you can and sometimes you cannot. whether it be to cover it, correct or laser it is the question. laser it off and redo it. if you have to laser it you have to leave it for six months before you can do that. so lots ofjibes or keep it covered. let‘s have a look at some of your artwork. you did the angel? david

beckham. pretty much like that, you get a brief and then you design from the brief. i did that back in 2000. did somejournalist the brief. i did that back in 2000. did some journalist make out you made a mistake? i did a translation of the name victoria into hendy. some journalist claimed it spent --it some journalist claimed it spent ——it was spelt wrong but it wasn't phonetic and you cannot get a translation. this is where you can get into problems if you‘re using symbols or a chinese script. usually, from the arabic and far east, there are no direct translations so it might sound like the name but it could mean something completely different. we saw angelina jolie and her ex—husband‘s name stop that is quite

common, name do not want any more. if you are a professional tattooist you would always caution people. it is a kiss of death. it might be all hearts and fluffy music but if you get it wrong, you are stuck with it. fluffy music but if you get it wrong, you are stuck with itm fluffy music but if you get it wrong, you are stuck with it. it is a really physical commitment, and illustration literally that you are with that person. the problem is, it is very, very permanent so caution. talking of caution, and you would not think it applied to a vegetable. john clark sent this end, this is a potato... it has an extra e. who was the politician who couldn‘t say potato, anyway, now he has an extra

e. why did he want a potato? that is the better story. maybe you do not wa nt the better story. maybe you do not want to know. what is the weirdest day to you have been asked to do was make tattoo. sometimes people come in wanting something and maybe a pony in wanting something and maybe a pony with a rainbow and i say i am not doing that because it is my name that goes on it. because it is not my thing. sometimes people want extreme political things and that is another no, no. sometimes names and they want them in places that are always invisible and it is a dumb thing to do. i cannot see any

tattoos at all. is that my little pony? thank you very much indeed. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i‘m victoria hollins. police are appealing for information and dashcam footage after two people died in a crash involving eight vehicles in east london. a man in his 40s and a woman in her 50s died at the scene on squirrels heath road in romford yesterday afternoon. six people were taken to hospital. there are warnings that cladding on residential tower blocks is becoming a big problem in london‘s housing market. new cladding guidelines, introduced in the wake of the grenfell tower fire, have left some tower block residents unable to sell or re—mortgage their properties, leaving many trapped and their homes valued at zero. there are no official figures on the number of flats affected, but those in the mortgage industry say there are no clear solutions. if someone is living in a property that does have a fire safety issue,

good service on the tubes this morning. traffic is building westbound in edmonton. things are moving. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today should stay dry and there is even some brightness and some sunshine out there to kick off the morning, but it will turn cloudier and windier as we head through the afternoon. now, it‘s quite a chilly start to the morning. lots of early brightness and sunshine around. you can see the wind gusts here, in the black circles, they will start to increase as we head through the day and the cloud is going to thicken as well. maybe one or two light showers but i think it should stay dry. it will be quite windy as we head through the second half of the day. temperatures peaking at a mild 10 or 11 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, that cloud is only going to thicken. it will stay rather blustery and there will be some outbreaks of mostly light, patchy rain and drizzle just sinking their way southwards

"you ripped a hole in my heart" — the words of the mother of the murdered british backpacker grace millane as she sends a heartrending message to the killer, jailed for life in new zealand. i want you to know i don't think of you, because if i did,

that means i care about you and i simply don't. there‘s been another delay in getting british passengers home from a virus—hit cruise ship injapan. a rocket from ruben a jota hat—trick and this stunner from neves helps wolves to a big lead in the round of 32 of the europa league. good morning from the brand—new super good morning from the brand—new super sewer. good morning from the brand—new super sewer. we good morning from the brand—new super sewer. we are good morning from the brand—new super sewer. we are 50 metres below ground and one of the country ‘s biggest infrastructure projects —— projects, designed to stop sewage flowing into the river thames. we will find out more later. steve coogan is here to talk alan partridge, the trip, and his new film which targets billionaire bosses with questonable ethics. the weather this weekend may not be anywhere near as the weather this weekend may not be anywhere near as stormy as the last couple of weekends, but some rain in

the forecast today, another other areas the forecast today, another other areas looking particularly wet. all the details later. it‘s friday 21st february. our top story. the man convicted of killing the british backpacker grace millane in new zealand has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 17 years. before the sentencing, grace‘s mother gillian delivered an emotional message to the court, and to grace‘s killer via video link, saying her daughter died ‘terrified and alone‘. our correspondent, shaima khalil reports. on the eve of her 22nd birthday, grace millane spent a night out with this man but shortly after these pictures were captured, he murdered her. the killer has been jailed for life with a minimum of 17 years without parole. a suppression court order means we still cannot reveal his identity. grace‘s mother gillian said her daughter would always be her sunshine. she addressed the killer direct via video link, saying he‘d ripped a hole in her heart. you walked into our

lives and destroyed grace in the pursuit of your own sexual gratification. she died terrified and alone in a room with you. i will miss my darling grace until the last breath in my body leaves me. the chief police investigator criticised the defence for arguing grace‘s death was an argument of rough sex gone wrong. strangling someone for 5—10 minutes until they die is not rough sex. if people are going to use that type of defence, all it actually does is repeatedly victimises the victim. and the victim‘s family. grace‘s mother said no sentence the killer got would match a life without her daughter but the case that has gripped

the nation and destroyed a family has finally come to an end. shaima khalil, bbc news. shaimaa khalil has been following the trial and is outside the court in auckland for us. shaimaa, what has been the reaction to the sentencing there today? you to the sentencing there today? could feel the raw ( the you could feel the raw emotions in the courtroom today. many people we re the courtroom today. many people were in tears as grace ‘s family spoke, including the killer at one point, showing more emotions than we have ever seen since the trial started. declan, grace ‘s brother said the killer had not only taken his sisters live but had taken his ha rd est well, his sisters live but had taken his hardest well, as her sister—in—law spoke about the little girl who would never grow up to know her and degrees. a number of young women in court today, they wanted to attend the sentencing, they said they identified with the story and that it could happen to them, to anyone. this is a case that has gripped new zealand and people here have been following the details of this case

day in and out since it started, since grace ‘s body was found and today all eyes were on the courtroom as today all eyes were on the courtroom as the sentence was passed and the case ended. thank you. vigils have been held across germany to remember the nine victims killed in wednesday‘s attack. the gunman opened fire on two shisha bars in the town of hanau near frankfurt. speaking to crowds at a vigil in hanau, president frank—walter steinmeier called for unity against hatred, racism and violence. the shooting is being treated as an act of terrorism. british passengers stranded on a quarantined cruise ship injapan will begin theirjourney home today. but they are facing another wait after the evacuation was delayed. our correspondent laura bicker is in yokohama where the diamond princess is docked. laura, are we any clearer as to what

is happening? we were expecting the british passengers, around 70 of them to be allowed to come off the ship around now but it seems there‘s been a delay. we‘ve heard from the foreign and commonwealth office the plane has been delayed because of logistical reasons but it‘s another frustration for the passengers on board who had to wait and watch others leave, some of the last to leave this cruise ship. most of them, all of them have had to test negative for the virus and we can hear from alan sandford who spoke to brea kfast hear from alan sandford who spoke to breakfast earlier. it's been one thing after another. we can face the thought of 14 days but when you realise you have to then wait for an evacuation flight, it's been a bit, nerve—racking. evacuation flight, it's been a bit, nerve-racking. that flight is due to arrive in a few hours.

we understand about five or six hours, they will be allowed from the ship, they go through theirfinal be allowed from the ship, they go through their final medical checks, weather temperature ta ken and through their final medical checks, weather temperature taken and they have to speak one—to—one to medical professional to talk about any potential symptoms that they have an once they‘d been through that, they will go on the buses you can see behind me and will be taken the airport. i‘ve got another wait, the early hours of the morning here in japan before the plane takes off. that‘s as we understand it but it‘s not over because then they have to go to not over because then they have to gotoa not over because then they have to go to a quarantine facility in the world where they will spend another 14 world where they will spend another 1a days and that has become quite important because we‘ve heard within the last few hours, to australian passengers who tested negative for the virus when they were taken off from japan have since tested positive. laura, thanks for the update, by those passengers, we‘ve heard lots from an breakfast over the past couple of weeks butjust when they thought it‘s over, it goes on and on. the home office has refused

to comment on reports it has watered down a review into the windrush scandal in which it was branded ‘institutionally racist‘. the delayed independent review was commissioned after people with a right to live in the uk were wrongfully detained or deported to the caribbean. our political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster. jonathan, tell us more. this is the latest leak from the delayed report into the windrush scandal which as you say came to light in 2018 which involved people who'd come to the uk remain the caribbean commonwealth countries in the 50s and 60s and had the legal right to stay here, found themselves being denied benefits, detained and in some cases being denied benefits, detained and in some cases even being denied benefits, detained and in some cases even deported. this review was instigated by the home secretary back then in 2018 sajid javid at the time and it's been delayed, we've had previous leaks, this latest one in a report in the times newspaper this morning claiming it did at one point in an early draft, include the phrase institutionally racist, referring to the home office and the later

versions of the report do not include that phrase. the labour mp david lambie has said the victims of the windrush scandal were denied benefits because of the colour of theirskin, if benefits because of the colour of their skin, if that's not institutionally racist, i don't know what is that he says it would be an average of this report is watered down for political reasons. the home office not commenting on this report that they have issued a statement saying this is an independent review, wendy williams who is leading it has not yet submitted the final report to the home office, once we've received it we will publish it as soon as possible and ministers have not seen any version of the report. that last point may be an attempt to counter claims that there's been any political interference here in the report which is certainly highly anticipated. jonathan, thank you. police are continuing to question a man on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing inside a london mosque. the victim, in his 70s, was injured in an attack at london central mosque, near regent‘s park. he was taken to hospital

by paramedics where his condition is non—life threatening. police are not treating the attack as terror—related. if you are looking forward to a real fire tonight will be interested in this. the sale of coal and some types of wood for open fires and stoves will be banned in england from next february, as part of the government‘s efforts to cut air pollution. instead people will have to buy "smokeless" coal or wood that has been seasoned or dried in kilns. wood—burners and coal fires are the largest source of an air pollutant which can cause lung cancer, stroke and asthma. going to be rather less smoke above walford in the future. actor june brown has announced that she has left eastenders, after 35 years of playing chain—smoking albert square favourite, dot cotton.

hello, jim. it's me, dorothy. she arrived on the square shortly after the soap began in 1985, and apart from a break between 1993 and 1997, has been part of the main cast ever since. june says she has departed the programme "for good" but eastenders say the door remains open for her to return. she hasn‘t been written out of the script by any means. you know the remarkable thing, looking at her, she did that incredible episode, it was just her. she‘s almost barely changed in all the time she‘s been there. it‘s true. remarkable, brilliant, brilliant actress and she will be missed from that programme. we need to get her in here to talk to us, don‘t we? we need to get her in here to talk to us, don't we? it's 11 minutes past eight. time for the weather, shall we do that? hopefully not this weekend, things are slowly improving, are they? little bit of drama to come rachel, but compared to the last few weekends, this weekend nowhere near as stormy but

the rain and not done with us yet. northern areas most concerned about the amounts of rain that will fall during the next 2a hours. severe warnings in the south, watching rivers particularly across northern england as we had through this weekend. already running across parts of western and southern scotland, into northern ireland, north—west of england, these areas staying went all day and the rain will become more extensive across northern england although some parts of the north—east will stay dry, some parts of eastern scotland as well, but turning weather in north well, but turning weather in north well through the day. much of south wales, south midlands, southern england staying dry. any sunshine on the hazy side, mild day with temperatures in double figures for all, temperatures well above where they should be but that will be tempered by the wind strength. heading into the richer this evening wind gusts touching 50, 60 miles an hour, gusty in south—east scotland and north—east england and note, the rush hour still

wet, dry towards the south, again, turning quite windy, gales particularly around the coast and over the hills. in the end to the day, windy night to come, some rain pushing south, rain in the north turning showering, turning colder, turning to snow as we start the weekend across scotland. could be some blizzards on the hills on saturday in particular, some pretty heavy showers around this weekend, showery day on saturday, saturday night will see more persistent rain hitting southern areas, quickly clearing to leave a fine day on sunday and overall, not as stormy as it has been. back to you both. that‘s something for us to cling onto. it‘s minutes per stay. —— 13 minutes past eight. late last night, a court in new zealand heard the mother of grace millane describe the pain of her daughter‘s murder as "so deep that she wanted

to take her own life." gillian millane‘s emotional video statement was played before grace‘s killer was sentenced to life in prison. here‘s what she said. her tragic life cut short by your wilful, cruel actions. you took it upon yourself to murder my beautiful daughter, an innocent young lady. on a daily basis, i'd torment myself over what you did to my grace. the terror and over what you did to my grace. the terrorand pain over what you did to my grace. the terror and pain she must have experienced at your hands. as a mother, i would experienced at your hands. as a mother, iwould have experienced at your hands. as a mother, i would have done anything to change places with her. i said, full of guilt, knowing i could not help her. that i should have been there, she died terrified and alone ina room there, she died terrified and alone in a room with you. whose name isn't even spoken amongst her friends

and family. you walked into our lives and destroyed grace in the pursuit of your own sexual gratification. now my family will never be the same, so now my family will never be the same, so many now my family will never be the same, so many other innocent people including your own family, have had their world are destroyed. i want you to know i don't think of you because if i did, that means i care about you and i simply don't. i will miss my darling grace. until the la st miss my darling grace. until the last breath in my

body leaves me. gillian, speaking directly to the killer about the death of her daughter grace, played directly to the courtroom in new zealand last night. earlier, we heard from radio new zealand reporter sarah robson, who told us what it was like in the court room when the sentence was read out. it was an incredibly emotional sentencing hearing, you heard gillian there, speaking to the courtroom from her home in essex. she was one of three family members who read the impact statement to the court, we heard from declan, grace 's brother and his wife. it was the first time we heard from gillian, she sat through every single day of the three—week trial last november, sitting alongside her husband, david, next to the detective

inspector who has led the investigation from the moment grace millane was reported missing. the public gallery of the court room like much of the three—week trial la st like much of the three—week trial last november was full for the sentencing hearing. and the sentence was handed down the 28—year—old man who was dressed in a dark grey suit was composed and can as the judge delivered the life sentence with a minimum non—parole period of 17 years in the court itself was actually eerily quiet as it was announced to the court. very quickly, the man who murdered grace millane was escorted out of the courtroom alongside three or four police officers who had been sitting in the dock with him. grace‘s case brought up questions about the way the defence uses in cases like these. we are aware it‘s half term for lots

of people so you might want to be aware we are discussing in the next few minutes details of the case. so we‘re going to spend the next few minutes discussing the use of "rough sex" to try and reduce sentences. we will try to navigate this as sensitively as possible, of course. we‘re joined now by writer louise perry who works for the group we can‘t consent to this and from our london newsroom is criminal barrister laurie ann power. is there within uk law currently, a crime of rough six defence? there is no legal defence of rough six, it does not exist and further than that, a person cannot consent to their own death or serious harm being caused upon them so it does not exist as a defence. is it true to say we have seen a rise in rough sex being used as a sort of mitigating factor in instances where women have been seriously injured or killed? we have seen a worrying ten

fold rise in the past ten years or so fold rise in the past ten years or so with defendants effectively saying a person died, the victim died during the course of what can be described as rough sex and he did not intend to because that death or any serious harm so there has been a rise in it and it has been and is troubling. louise, your campaign, only too aware of the increase, your done research into this. yes, the campaign documents cases where women from the uk have been killed and the killers have claimed in court they died as the result of injuries from rough sex that was consensual so we found 60 cases of this defence being used in the death of a uk woman or girl, grace millane being the 60th and we've found there's been both an increase in the frequency with which perpetrators are using this defence, we've also seen perpetrators are using this defence, we've also seen an perpetrators are using this defence, we've also seen an increase in the success we've also seen an increase in the success they've been finding and using this defence. so in the last

five years, we've found 18 cases where defendants have used this defence and in just where defendants have used this defence and injust over half where defendants have used this defence and in just over half of those it's been successful to some extent so they've been able to avoid a murder conviction and thankfully, in this case in new zealand, the killer was found guilty of murder and he's been given a life sentence and he's been given a life sentence and we are so relieved about that but unfortunately that's not what we are seen but unfortunately that's not what we are seen happening all the time and there's too many cases justice is not being done. you are saying it would be manslaughter in some cases, given that sort of argument, it was consensual and both parties had agreed to it? exactly, they'd be found guilty of manslaughter and often handed very low sentences, theoretically manslaughter can carry a life sentence but what we've been seeing sentences of up to six years, that don't recognise the seriousness of the crime that's been committed. how do you explain the rise in cases like this? we have to see it within the context of an increasing normalisation of really serious sexual violence, there is a

survey that was done last year which we we re that was done last year which we were involved with done by radio 5 live which found 38% of uk women under40 live which found 38% of uk women under 40 had experienced nonconsensual violence including strangulation and slapping, gagging, spitting as part of otherwise consensual sex so we are spitting as part of otherwise consensual sex so we are seeing this huge rise in instances of really, really serious violence as part of sex and an increasing normalisation andl sex and an increasing normalisation and i think that's what we see as and i think that's what we see as that reflected in the sort of pornography available? we've seen an explosion in the access to really extreme point which would have been seen as extreme point which would have been seen as extreme extreme point which would have been seen as extreme and extreme point which would have been seen as extreme and hard to access and now it's available at the click ofa and now it's available at the click of a button. there is talk of changes in the law and changing definitions within the law what chance do you think there is of that happening in the future and what could the implications of that be?” don't necessarily think there will be changes in the definition of murder as it be changes in the definition of murderas it were, be changes in the definition of

murder as it were, i know there have been some calls for the requirement of the prosecution not to prove an intention to kill or cause serious bodily harm where these cases are concerned, i don't think we are going to see that because of course, we have to distinguish between those criminals who set out to kill and or cause serious bodily harm as against those people who may see that there is some harm and go ahead and take the risk in any event which would result in a manslaughter case so there is a distinction to be drawn. it's also worth noting that over the past 20 years there have been 42 deaths relating to the rough sex as it were called defence and 33 of those have resulted in murder convictions, with sentencing ranging from about 20—30 years. in the last ten years there have been 18 murder convictions and seven manslaughter convictions, with only one of the defendants been found not guilty so as faras defendants been found not guilty so as far as the law is concerned, the

law is effectively criminalising those defendants even where they raise the defence or they assert the victim consented to a certain extent. the law is working but the law needs some clarification because there is this rise in these types of cases coming before the courts. what was noticeable in the case of grace millane is right throughout the trial and indeed her sentencing led last night, there is a significant numbers of young women in the court to support her and i suppose, to uphold her reputation, her legacy, because her family has uphold her reputation, her legacy, because herfamily has been uphold her reputation, her legacy, because her family has been through the most unimaginable ordeal. absolutely and i think it's really struck a chord with a lot of people, especially young women, as you say, because of the feeling it could happen to anyone, she just had the bad luck to go on a date with a man who turned out to be a

really dangerous murderer. which was so tragic. i'd say on this point about the need to clarify the law, we absolutely would affirm the idea that the lord needs clarification which is why we are supporting the amendments to the domestic abuse bill which had been proposed by harriet harman and mark garnier which should go before parliament soon which should go before parliament soon and make it crystal clear in statute consent is not a defence when it comes to serious violence and not a defence when it comes to murder but we would dispute the idea the law is currently working. most of the cases we've documented, killers have been found guilty of murderand killers have been found guilty of murder and that's great, we support that, but there have been some absolutely shocking cases and i think often when people hear terms, they think fluffy handcuffs from ann summers but we are not talking about that, we are talking about really horrific injuries, we are talking about women having horrific internal injuries, having their throats slit and yet the men

involved are found guilty of manslaughter, which is why we founded and started the campaign, at the start of 2018 no one was monitoring this, no state agency looking up the frequency of the use of rough sex defence, in cases where women died or were seriously injured. we found over 100 gbh cases, attackers made this defence and no one knew how big a problem this wasn't to be started the campaign. i'm afraid we have to leave it there but thank you both so much for talking to us this morning. it cited 20 5am, friday morning, bbc brea kfast. still to come. london‘s sewers are having their biggest overhaul since victorian times, and this week the building of the new super sewer reached it‘s half—way point — ben‘s got his wellies on and is checking out how it‘s looking so far.( i'm very glad its brown hue. nothing down here that might smell. welcome to the brand—new server, this is it, work well under way officially, around the halfway stage, that way

takes you further west on towards acton, this will start, that way takes you through central london under some prime real estate, taking you all the way to east london, a big sewage treatment plant and the point of this place is to stop those old servers, built 150 years ago, the old victorian sewers that cannot cope with a growing population in london. they were built on 2 million people lived in the capital, today there are more than 8 million. places like this are necessary. this main lift shaft that gets all the equipment and materials down from the surface to hear, 50 metres below ground, it took them one year to build this. the whole project will ta ke build this. the whole project will take about eight years, costing £5 billion, lots of work still to go to make sure this project is up and running by 2024 when it's due to be completed. you might wonder who is paying for it? londoners, they will pick up the bill through higher for their water on pick up the bill through higher for theirwateron their pick up the bill through higher for their water on their bills to pay

for this place. nonetheless, their water on their bills to pay forthis place. nonetheless, it suggests the era of big infrastructure projects, lots of questions about whether this country can deliver on budget. so far, this one is. iwill show can deliver on budget. so far, this one is. i will show you round later, show you what's down here but first, let's get the news, travel and weather where you soon. it's it‘s a fairly quiet start to the day across southern it‘s a fairly quiet start to the day across southern areas it‘s a fairly quiet start to the day across southern areas of the uk and the focus of the rain will be across northern parts, linked to this area of low pressure, quite a lot of isobars with windy conditions but i will zoom out and take you across the atlantic because the weather system stretches to the eastern seaboard, that area of low pressure brings some very windy conditions into next week. before today, the rain will continue across northern ireland, northern england, north wales. the north and east of scotla nd wales. the north and east of scotland is not faring too badly with sunny spells and some sunshine across southern parts for a

time. quite gusty winds, especially in north—east england and south to scotla nd north—east england and south to scotland today, may be up to 60 mph, maybe 70 mph and the far north—west of scotla nd maybe 70 mph and the far north—west of scotland and temperatures higher than yesterday, up to 10—12 celsius but with all the rain in northern ireland, the west of northern ireland, the west of northern ireland, through parts of yorkshire, western scotland, some quite large rainfall totals by the end of today and tonight. going into saturday morning, temperatures down to about a-9 morning, temperatures down to about a—9 in northern parts, with some snow showers, ten or 11 further south. throughout saturday, that cold front will move southwards, left for all of us under a cooler airstream. left for all of us under a cooler air stream. they will be some more snow over the higher ground of scotla nd snow over the higher ground of scotland and again some strong winds across northern areas. scattered showers elsewhere, patchy rain across the far south, quite windy even across the far south, quite windy eve n a cross across the far south, quite windy even across england and wales but they could be some gales, even around central areas of scotland throughout saturday. that could be a

little disruptive. maximum temperature is five or six celsius, 11 or 12 temperature is five or six celsius, 11 or12 in temperature is five or six celsius, 11 or 12 in the south but those will probably drop away through the afternoon. as we go through into sunday, further outbreaks of rain but then it is this area of low pressure i showed you at the start, that will move its way in in the start of next week and could well bring some very windy conditions in the north. stay tuned.
