good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. harper's law. mandatory life sentences for criminals who kill emergency service workers, after tireless campaigning by the widow of pc andrew harper. most people who applied to the windrush compensation scheme have yet to receive a single penny. a group of mps says the home office should be held to account. he'sjust run 101 miles in a day. kevin sinfield will hobble onto the sofa to us what the challenge meant to him and his friend rob burrow. will you be walking through a winter

wonderland like this one over christmas? if so, you can expect fewerforeign christmas? if so, you can expect fewer foreign tourists and traders. will they still bring the same manner check to the economy? i will be finding out. —— will they still bring the same magic to the economy? a win for manchester united, just two days after the sacking of ole gunnar solskjaer. they beat villereal in spain to advance to the knockout stages of the champions league. a fairly cloudy start to the day, some fog across parts of the south—east, some rain moving across scotland and northern ireland, heading into england and wales, followed by blustery showers. but the potential for some disruptive weather this weekend. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 24th of november. our main story. anyone who kills an emergency worker while committing a crime is to be given a mandatory life sentence in prison. the ministry ofjustice says it wants to introduce the new law in england and wales "as soon as possible" following a campaign by the widow of pc andrew harper who was killed while trying

to stop a gang of burglars. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, has more details. just four weeks after his wedding in 2019, pc andrew harper was killed. and since his killers were convicted, his widow lissie and his family have been campaigning for harper's law. they've been supported by the police federation of england and wales, which represents rank—and—file officers. last year, lissie harper spoke about the campaign. if a person should go out to commit a crime, and as a result of that crime, police officer, nursed, doctor, a police officer, nurse, doctor, paramedic, or police... sorry, prison officer, should be killed as a result of that crime, then this person should spend their life in prison. the campaign has taken lissie harper to the heart of government. and ministers have now announced there will be a mandatory life sentence for anyone convicted of killing an emergency worker while committing a crime.

pc harper was chasing a group of suspects when he became caught in the tow rope of their getaway car. he was dragged for over a mile at speeds of more than a0 miles an hour. teenagers henry long, albert bowers and jessie cole were convicted of manslaughter. they were cleared of murder and so did not automatically receive a life term. welcoming the planned new law, his wife lissie said emergency service workers went into the depths of danger on a regular basis on behalf of society. june kelly, bbc news. we will find out more about the change in the law later in the programme. we'll be speaking to the justice secretary, dominic raab, at 7.30am. 95% of windrush scandal victims are yet to receive any compensation more than two years after the home office launched a scheme to make amends. a report from a group of mps has called for the programme to be taken

out of government control, warning that it's causing further trauma to those who were wrongly accused of living in the uk illegally. our home affairs editor, mark easton, reports. the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans. many are ex servicemen who know england. the windrush compensation scheme was supposed to right the wrongs of a scandal that rocked the government and the nation. thousands of british residents, mostly of caribbean heritage, had been wrongly classed as illegal immigrants by the home office, denied the right to work, health care and housing. others were held in immigration detention or deported. but now, an all—party committee of mps has concluded the scheme itself has actually compounded the injustice. to be in a situation where four years on from the windrush scandal, only 30% of those applying have received anything, only 5% of those eligible have received anything, is simply wrong. and it really doesn't recognise that this is an ageing generation who were so badly wronged

by home office failures. the home affairs committee's report refers to the excessive burden on claimants, inadequate staffing and long delays, with concerns that many are still too fearful of the home office to apply at all. four years on from the windrush scandal, the committee notes the vast majority of people who applied for compensation have yet to receive a penny. what is this, what's going on? you anthony brian? yes? what's this about? anthony brian, i'm arresting you on suspicion of being an illegal resident. what you talking about, illegal? this tv drama tells the story of one windrush victim, anthony brian, who was almost deported, and his wife janet mackay who spent her life savings fighting to keep her husband in the uk. i just think they're a headache, stressful. and the people you're dealing with really don't understand where you're coming from. i don't think so, anyway. they treat you like you're nobody.

and it's the same circle nonstop. responding to the mps' damning report, the home office said the home secretary and the department remained steadfast in their commitment to ensure that members of the windrush generation received every penny of compensation that they were entitled to. adding that they continue to make improvements to the scheme. mark easton, bbc news. a labour mp has called for a review of parliamentary rules after she was told she can't take her three—month old son into the commons. stella creasy received an email from the commons authorities, saying the guidance had been changed in september. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is in westminster. good morning, adam. it's not the first time stella creasy has gone public with this, is it, since the birth of her children?— birth of her children? she's actually running _ birth of her children? she's actually running a - birth of her children? she's| actually running a campaign birth of her children? she's . actually running a campaign as birth of her children? she's - actually running a campaign as well to improve the rights of new mums involved in politics, and i think

this is a whole node of extra ammunition for this campaign. she was actually in westminster hall, the second chamber next to the house of commons where the debate on other subjects take place. she had taken her son in, there had been no problems and then she received this email from the office of the deputy speaker who oversees westminster hall, saying that technically what she had done had been against the rules which were updated in september. we understand that the house of commons authorities have beenin house of commons authorities have been in touch with stella creasy, and it looks like there might be a bit of wiggle room here where mums or dads could maybe speak to the commons authorities and the officials on a case—by—case basis about bringing their child to either of the chambers. but that rule still seems to stand and it certainly, as i said, it gives stella creasy some more ammunition in her campaign. she is quite a tough campaigner says she will not be giving this arrest. indeed, thank you for now, adam.

an eight—year—old boy who was struck by a car which was driven through a christmas parade in wisconsin on sunday has died of his injuries, bringing the death toll to six. darrell brooks, the 39—year—old accused of driving the red suv, appeared in court yesterday, charged with intentional homicide. our north america correspondent barbara plett usher has more. the judge read out the five counts of intentional homicide and he said that each one of them carried a penalty of life in prison. and during the proceedings, the prosecutor said, now they knew a sixth person had died, child, said the prosecution was planning to bring another charge of intentional homicide by the end of the week. she also read out a lengthy criminal record for darrell brooks, this included violent conduct like strangulation, suffocation, sexual assault, domestic battery. she said that he had tried to run over a woman earlier in the month, the mother of his child. she also said that he had a long history of flight and ofjumping bail. he is wanted on an arrest warrant in nevada, in fact. and so she recommended that the bail

be set at $5 million. during the proceedings, darrell brooks sat, nearly bent double. his face down. and thejudge considered the bail, he said he would accept the $5 million bail, he said it was extraordinarily high but this was an extraordinarily serious case with an extraordinary history of mr brooks. he said to mr brooks, look, i don't know what the motive was, whether it was panic or whether it was intentional, but clearly you don't do well under pressure. and you don't respond to common sense. he also made some remarks about the case, he said that this was a shocking case, he'd never seen anything like it in his life. he said that the state had a very strong case. they have set the next hearing forjanuary. nasa scientists will be playing their own version of galactic darts today when they launch a rocket with the hope of knocking

an asteroid off course. it's like something out of a movie. it's like something out of a movie. it is, but it is going to happen! we'll have to wait ten months to find out if the missile, called dart, hits the target. they're testing technology which may be needed if an asteroid is ever heading towards earth, as our science correspondent rebecca morelle explains. it's a first for nasa. sending a spacecraft to an asteroid to crash into it and knock it off course. this rock doesn't pose any danger to our planet, but the dart mission is a test of technology for any future threats. the reason we are doing this is in case we ever discover an asteroid actually headed towards earth. we want to know that we can use this technique to change its orbit so that it will not impact us. nasa is targeting a small asteroid called diomorphos, which is orbiting around a large space rock. the spacecraft travelling at 13,000 miles an hour will fly into the small asteroid, leaving an impact crater

up to 20 metres wide. but this should also give the rock a kick which will speed up its orbit. and this can be monitored from the earth to see if it's worked. all you really need is a nudge, because the distances you're going and the speeds you're going, a tiny change in direction can result in a huge change in how far it's going to miss the earth. and that could be vital. a 160 metre wide rock like diomorphos could be catastrophic for populated areas. bigger asteroids that are kilometres across have the potential to devastate the planet. the hope is this mission will show us if it's possible to stop future collisions. the spacecraft will arrive at its destination next autumn. rebecca morelle, bbc news. without wishing to scare you at all! all you need is a little nudge to push the asteroid, we will be fine. we will see live pictures of the rocket taking off in about ten minutes, hopefully. they are saying

it will be another year or so before we can see the nudge. the it will be another year or so before we can see the nudge. the sequel! 11 minutes past — we can see the nudge. the sequel! 11 minutes past six. _ we can see the nudge. the sequel! 11 minutes past six. carol— we can see the nudge. the sequel! 11 minutes past six. carol has _ we can see the nudge. the sequel! 11 minutes past six. carol has whether. minutes past six. carol has whether matters closer to earth this morning. good morning! some of us starting on a chilly note, especially across the south and south—east where there is some frost and patchy mist and fog here. also across the vale of york, but it is generally cloudy. as well as that, we have some rain in a weather front moving across scotland and northern ireland and heading in the detection of northern england and north—west wales. behind it, blustery showers which will be wintry on higher ground and ahead of it we will see some sunny intervals until we run into the far south, this is where we have some patchy mist and fog, some lifting into low cloud. temperatures, six to nine degrees, it will feel cold stepping out. the wind is not much of a feature during the day for most of

us but it will pick up in the latter part of the day. gusting as much a 60 mile an hour across the far north of scotland. here we will see a plethora of showers, some will be wintry, even at lower levels. the weather front makes it down into the southis weather front makes it down into the south is a weak feature with some spots of rain and drizzle on it. tomorrow that will clear away, dry weather and sunshine to start with but strong winds coming down the north sea coastline and also in the west. it is a cold northerly and the cloud is increasing through the day, still with some wintry showers but some of those getting down to sea level and it will feel cold. thank you, see you again soon. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily mail leads on "harper's law" and the successful campaign by pc andrew harper's widow lissie to get mandatory life sentences for criminals who kill emergency workers while committing a crime.

the daily telegraph reports that the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine could offer longer—lasting immunity against covid than otherjabs and suggests that could be why the uk hasn't suffered the same rise in infections as some parts of europe. the mirror has a picture of stephen and jennifer chapple on their wedding day. they're the couple who were stabbed to death at their home in somerset while their children, aged five and six, were asleep upstairs. and the yorkshire evening post says surely now is the time to give kevin sinfield a knighthood after he went the �*extra mile' and raised over £1.5 million for mnd in the name of his best friend, rob burrow. the picture you can see on the front of the yorkshire evening post is the moment when kevin sinfield came into

they're about to launch the "falcon nine" rocket. when that reaches space it will release a craft called dart. in about ten months, dart will then smash into a huge rock called dimorphos to see how much its speed and path can be altered. the idea is to test out technology that might one day be needed to push a dangerous asteroid off course if it's headed for earth. we can speak now to dr becky smethurst, an astrophysicist from the university of oxford. we can also see, becky, pictures, the rocket is about to take up very shortly, live in california and it will blast into space and begin this mission. tell us what we are seeing and why this matters. it’s mission. tell us what we are seeing and why this matters.— and why this matters. it's an incredible — and why this matters. it's an

reason they call this the golden season. in the month of december our spend goes up. before the pandemic, around a third of us came to a christmas market, or winter wonderland like this one. they brought to the economy half £1 billion. that is significant. but because of brexit, so not as many europeans coming in, they have not been able to bring as many goods in, it will be different this year. on top of that it is estimated around 10,000 market traders within the uk decided on a career change. so, if you are visiting a winter wonderland like this one over the next six weeks or so, will they still bring the same magic to the economy? colletta smith has been finding out. anya thinks of manchester as her second home.

she's been running christmas stalls here for decades, but it's been a struggle getting work permits this year. anya thinks of manchester as her second home. there was a lot of paperwork and it was a bit complicated to get into the process at the beginning. that's a big investment of time and money for you? it is, it is. and now we are ordering most of our german products with english companies so that we don't have to do the process to bring them over. it's their paperwork and they deliver it to us in manchester, and so that's a bit more easy for us. with more paperwork hurdles for getting staff and goods over here, christmas markets in england, scotland and wales will feel distinctly less european this year. but in northern ireland, the markets there are having the exact opposite problem. it's been very easy for european traders to come into northern ireland, and it's been straightforward. the bureaucracy comes in when you try to get english traders or scottish traders coming into northern ireland. alan runs four christmas markets. glasgow, cheltenham,

harrogate and belfast. and says this year has been the most difficult because brexit has created a new trade border in the irish sea. we had a number of traders cancel and stay on other markets in england, rather than coming into belfast. we had about four or five traders. one of our traders was prevented at liverpool from boarding a ferry, because they didn't have a particular eoi number for the vehicle itself. marcus has had no problems running his german gluhwein store in northern ireland, but he decided not to sell at his usual market in the rest of the uk. the decision to be made is, the problems, the brexit problems, and the exit, brexit exit problems for getting the alcohol inside, for example. the difficulties. so i decided at the moment, stop. really difficult. those problems mean there are less

big christmas markets happening across the uk, but in lots of places, smaller alternatives are springing up instead. so this is the main restaurant where we will be holding the christmas markets. every stall will get a table each. all the businesses that we have got that are involved, they are all home—made, handmade, and it's their own little hobby that they do on the side. emma is a full—time mum, but she is selling her sweets here and in a few other mini markets in the next few weeks, once the kids are in bed. with the lead—up for christmas, i'm doing a lot more now. i'm enjoying it and we're all happy. you can balance that out? yeah, definitely. it means you're bringing in a bit of extra cash as well. course it does, yeah, definitely. which is, you know, it's a helping hand. with new hurdles for some and new opportunities for others, markets of all sizes are hoping this christmas is a cracker. coletta smith, bbc news.

and it is a big time for seasonal businesses to bring in that money. we spoke earlier in the week about how difficult it's been for some to recruit the right talent at this time of the year. some of the traders have been telling me this morning that, not this event, but at some of the others it's been difficult to get the right workers coming in. important to remember if you are going to an event like this over christmas, there's been a reduction in foreign travellers coming to the uk by about 80% of this year. so, every pound that you spend will make a huge difference to traders here in the uk. but at the same time it is a difficult time for lots of families who aren't necessarily bringing on the same income they were before the pandemic. so it will be a tense time for it markets like this. but if you can make your way to one, it's a magical experience, if a slightly painful one for me this morning. is itjust the market that is

cloud. not as cold. fog across the vale of york and southern and south—eastern parts of the country. as we go through the morning most of us will have a fair bit of cloud. some of us will have some rain courtesy of this cold front, which is sinking further south. behind it, it is going to be quite gusty. that is a cold wind. you can see the blues coming in behind the weather front. by tomorrow as this front clears, all of us will be in colder conditions. we have got a lot of cloud ahead of the weather front. mist and fog lifting into low cloud. it will brighten up for a time ahead of the front. on the other side of it for scotland and northern ireland, a return to sunshine and blustery showers. some of them on higher ground will be wintry in nature with some sleet and hail. temperatures six to about nine degrees. into this evening and overnight, the winds strengthen across the far north of scotland, gusting to about 60 mph. the weather front weakens as it pushes south.

spots of rain and drizzle. we will see some wintry showers. some of them getting down to lower levels in them getting down to lower levels in the highlands. these are the temperatures. there will be some frost around to start the day. tomorrow we say goodbye quite early on to the weather front. there will be a lot of dry weather. a fair bit of sunshine. certainly initially. gusty winds coming down the north sea coastline, also across the west and the north. they are coming from and the north. they are coming from a northerly direction, so that will accentuate the cold feel. temperatures are quite low. we will see wintry showers. mostly in the hills, but we could see some at lower levels. as we head towards the end of the week this is when things liven up. an area of low pressure sinking south. we will see some rain and snow. but if the wind is more likely to be more dominant in the sense that it could bring some damaging winds. on friday, the low pressure arrives across our shores.

rain pushing south. this weather front is producing rain. we could see some snow showers almost anywhere. again, most of those will be on the hills. at some of them will get down to lower levels. we don't expect it to be disruptive at this stage. of the low—pressure position is very important, especially as we go friday night into saturday. this is when we could well have disruptive winds, widely inand 50 to 60 mph, and on the coast, 60 to 70 mph. that could be damaging for some of us. some of us will have rain and snow. is this low pressure pulls away on saturday, it will brighten up across scotland and northern ireland. it will still feel cold. there will be a wind chill. at the moment it looks likely far south—east one is the strongest winds. it takes that low pressure to change position and that could change. here it is in summary. if you are travelling this weekend keep watching the weather forecast. thank you.

told she can no longer take her three—month—old baby into the commons chamber. she says it should be possible for politics and parenting to mix, and it hasn't been a problem in the past. but the parliamentary authorities say the rules were updated in september. work has changed for many of us over the past two years, and it seems it's led to more people starting their own business. with financial support from the government, many londoners are being encouraged to explore their own ventures. the owners of this coffee shop in tottenham struggled during the pandemic, but with the help of their community they survived and say it's taught them a lot. now we are like a lot more in tune with the financial aspects of business. just every minute detail of business, because you just don't know what's round the corner. like, being more aware of threats to a business. you just have to be a little bit more prepared for anything, really. now, you'll have seen many places have their christmas lights up already. one man from bracknell has decided to decorate his car. nicholas martin is hoping

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. harper's law. mandatory life sentences for anyone who kills emergency service workers, after tireless campaigning by the widow of pc andrew harper. most people who applied to the windrush compensation scheme have yet to receive a single penny. a group of mps says the home office should be held to account. he'sjust run 101 miles in a day. kevin sinfield will hobble onto the sofa to tell us what the challenge meant to him

and his friend rob burrow. good morning. today we are starting off on a cloudy note with patchy fog across parts of the south and south—east and the vale of york, also some rain travelling south during the course of the day, followed by sunshine and showers. but potential for some disruptive weather this weekend. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 24th of november. our main story. anyone who kills an emergency worker while committing a crime is to be given a mandatory life sentence in prison. the ministry ofjustice says it wants to introduce the new law in england and wales "as soon as possible" following a campaign by the widow of pc andrew harper, who was killed while trying to stop a gang of burglars. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, has more details. just four weeks after his wedding in 2019, pc andrew harper was killed. and since his killers

were convicted, his widow lissie and his family have been campaigning for harper's law. they've been supported by the police federation of england and wales, which represents rank—and—file officers. last year, lissie harper spoke about the campaign. if a person should go out to commit a crime, and as a result of that crime, a police officer, nurse, doctor, paramedic, or police... sorry, prison officer, should be killed as a result of that crime, then this person should spend their life in prison. the campaign has taken lissie harper to the heart of government. and ministers have now announced there will be a mandatory life sentence for anyone convicted of killing an emergency worker while committing a crime. pc harper was chasing a group of suspects when he became caught in the tow rope of their getaway car. he was dragged for over a mile at speeds of more than 40 miles an hour. teenagers henry long,

albert bowers and jessie cole were convicted of manslaughter. they were cleared of murder and so did not automatically receive a life term. welcoming the planned new law, his wife lissie said emergency service workers went into the depths of danger on a regular basis on behalf of society. june kelly, bbc news. we'll be speaking to the justice secretary, dominic raab, at 7.30am. the home office should be stripped of responsibility for compensating windrush victims, according to a group of mps. the home affairs select committee found that 95% of people entitled to compensation had yet to receive a penny. the group warned the delay was causing further trauma to those who were wrongly accused of living in the uk illegally. the home office says it's committed to supporting windrush victims. police are continuing to question a 34—year—old man after a couple

were killed in their home while their two young children slept upstairs. stephen and jennifer chapple were attacked in norton fitzwarren, in somerset, on sunday evening. their children, aged five and six, were not physically harmed and are being looked after by relatives. labour mp stella creasy has called for a review of parliamentary rules after she was told she can't take her three—month old son into the commons. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, can tell us more. good morning, adam. great to see you. we have seen a lot of images of babies in recent years being brought into the house, has something changed? iauntie into the house, has something chanced? ~ ., , into the house, has something chanced? ~ . , ., ., ~' changed? we are trying to work it out because _ changed? we are trying to work it out because what _ changed? we are trying to work it out because what happened i changed? we are trying to work it out because what happened is i changed? we are trying to work it out because what happened is in i out because what happened is in september, there was a new version of the code of conduct for mps and their behaviour in westminster and it was published, it is now explicitly says you should not be accompanied by your child, either in the house of commons chamber or the other chamber known as westminster

hall, where extra business takes place, which is where stella creasy was with her three—month—old. so we are trying to get to the bottom of actually what the rules were before, because you are right, we have seen people with children in their arms in the chamber before. i think it may be that the rules say one thing, but the officials who manage everything in the parliamentary estate have a bit of leeway when it comes to individual cases. so you get the rule and then actually what happens. i don't think that matters to stella creasy because she is doing a big campaign about the rights for new mums who are in politics, and this is a big bit of ammunition for her in that campaign. thank you very much, adam. in the last hour, nasa scientists have launched a rocket with the hope of knocking a vast space rock off course. it was on purpose. you weren't sure

60 miles an hour and we will see showers, wintry even at lower levels in the violence. it will be cold enough for a touch of frost. tomorrow we will say goodbye to the front early on, a lot of dry weather, the wind is bringing in some showers towards the coast, though. some will be wintry in the north even at lower levels. these are at lower temperatures, may be only five to 10 degrees. friday night into saturday morning is looking like there is some potential for some damaging winds. so quite a blustery weekend? blustery is an understatement, we could have wind speeds of 60 miles an hour around the coasts, 70, and some of us will have some rain and some of us will have some rain and some of us could see some snow as well. ., ., some of us could see some snow as well. . ,, , ., ., ., some of us could see some snow as well. ., ,, , ., ., ., it some of us could see some snow as well-_ it isn't - well. thank you for that! it isn't her fault! _ well. thank you for that! it isn't her fault! she _ well. thank you for that! it isn't her fault! she doesn't _ well. thank you for that! it isn't her fault! she doesn't order i well. thank you for that! it isn't her fault! she doesn't order it! | well. thank you for that! it isn't i her fault! she doesn't order it! you are very welcome! _ her fault! she doesn't order it! gm,

are very welcome! it is winter, you know! it's more than three years since the government promised compensation to the victims of the windrush scandal. you'll remember it involved thousands of people who entered britain legally, and had lived here for decades, being threatened with deportation over a lack of official paperwork. it's now emerged that the vast majority of them are yet to receive a penny. our home editor mark easton has the details. the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans. many are ex servicemen who know england. the windrush compensation scheme was supposed to right the wrongs of a scandal that rocked the government and the nation. thousands of british residents, mostly of caribbean heritage, had been wrongly classed as illegal immigrants by the home office, denied the right to work, health care and housing. others were held in immigration detention or deported. but now, an all—party committee of mps has concluded the scheme itself has actually compounded the injustice. to be in a situation where four years on from the windrush scandal, only 30% of those applying have

received anything, only 5% of those eligible have received anything, is simply wrong. and it really doesn't recognise that this is an ageing generation who were so badly wronged by home office failures. the home affairs committee's report refers to the excessive burden on claimants, inadequate staffing and long delays, with concerns that many are still too fearful of the home office to apply at all. four years on from the windrush scandal, the committee notes the vast majority of people who applied for compensation have yet to receive a penny. what is this, what's going on? you anthony brian? yes? what's this about? anthony brian, i'm arresting you on suspicion of being an illegal resident. what you talking about, illegal? this tv drama tells the story of one windrush victim, anthony brian, who was almost deported, and his wife janet mackay who spent her life savings fighting to keep her husband in the uk.

i just think they're a headache, stressful. and the people you're dealing with really don't understand where you're coming from. i don't think so, anyway. they treat you like you're nobody. and it's the same circle nonstop. responding to the mps' damning report, the home office said the home secretary and the department remained steadfast in their commitment to ensure that members of the windrush generation received every penny of compensation that they were entitled to. adding that they continue to make improvements to the scheme. mark easton, bbc news. we can speak now tojohnny samuels, who was just eight when he travelled from jamaica to the uk with his family in 1964. we're also joined by patrick vernon, who campaigns on behalf of the windrush scandal victims. ifi if i could come to you first, jonny, you are only a child when he came to britain. how has this whole scandal

they are building bridges with the windrush victims, but they say as well that they are now increasing and have increased the rate of payment quite significantly in the last few months and that is reflected in today's report. johnny, are things getting better, other people you see and speak to in the same position to you, do they notice that payments are coming through? i think i know one person that a payment has come through and that is piecemeal. but like patrickjust said, the home office scheme is not fit for purpose. many of us agree with that. are we in the black community could do ten times better and speed up this process ten times faster. people are saying as well that it faster. people are saying as well thatitis faster. people are saying as well that it is like justice is delayed in this matter. we say that a justice delay is not going to be justice delay is not going to be justice denied. we are going to fight on and we will keep fighting on until our last breath because my

grandchildren, great children —— great grandchildren, many of them are still suffering, many people are in hospital, dying. i think the government is waiting for a lot of us to die of covid, tell you the truth. but it isn't going to happen. people are suffering, and hurting, and feeling disgruntled. priti patel, either move off and let us get on with this ourselves, and come to us, we have the answers. you are pretending that he wants to help and do something but you are not and we can clearly see that. many people are calling me at this moment in time saying, what's going on? but i believe that 2022 will see change. if we have to demonstrate if we have too much, if we have to cause some noise, we will do it. —— if we have to demonstrate, if we have to go on a march. i to demonstrate, if we have to go on a march. , , i. , ., ., a march. i sense your frustration this morning. — a march. i sense your frustration this morning, you _ a march. i sense your frustration this morning, you talked i a march. i sense your frustration this morning, you talked about i

this morning, you talked about feeling in limbo arejohnny. on a day—to—day basis, how does this impact on you and what you can do? the embarrassment of this is that, even though people know our situation, some people think that i was really illegal. i was at work and i was told at my work, i had no papers to show that i was a citizen of my country. that was embarrassing because the whole world —— workforce thought i had been illegally for three or four thought i had been illegally for three orfour or thought i had been illegally for three or four or five years and he has been caught. the embarrassment of all of that, it is a stigma, and it doesn't go away. some people up until today believe that we are illegal, some people believe that we don't deserve this. but many other countries and nations are getting compensation for things and then by colonial britain. why is it taking

so long for us? is it a matter of colour, to receivejustice? i think the hurtful part about it, is it a matter of colour? if we were from european countries asking for this, would we be knocking on steel doors for so long? i am sick and tired of being sick and tired of this matter. priti patel, boris, do something. because we are not going to die. johnny, thank you so much for sharing your story. johnny samuels and patrick vernon. the home secretary says she is committed to every penny of compensation being paid out to everyone it is entitled to go to, and she says the amount of compensation being paid out has risen from less than £3 million to more than £30 million as a result of the scheme being overhauled in december last year. we will keep across the story in the weeks ahead.

if you're old enough to remember the first gulf war, you'll know that one of the most frightening aspects of that conflict was the so—called "human shields" kept hostage by saddam hussein. many of them has been passengers on a british airways flight which was making a brief stopover in kuwait when iraqi forces invaded. now the foreign office has admitted for the first time that it could have warned the ba pilot not to land there. alice key has been looking back at what happened. on the night that kuwait was invaded by iraq, ba flight 149 took off from london on august 1st 1990, heading for asia, with a stopover in the city. when they landed, the plane was destroyed, and passengers and crew were taken hostage, brutally mistreated and kept in near starvation conditions. it was these shots of a nervous—looking stuart lockwood, standing next to saddam hussein, that sparked outrage across the west.

declassified files showed the british ambassador in kuwait had warned the foreign office about the invasion, but ba was not told. the foreign secretary, liz truss, has apologised, but many still feel angry, having been misled by the british government for more than 30 years. alice key, bbc news. barry manners was a passenger on the plane and held hostage for more than four months. hejoins us now from his home in kent. good morning. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. i know this is probably a story you have told many times over the last few decades butjust tell me how you came to be in iraq and what happened to you. i came to be in iraq and what happened to ou. ., , ., came to be in iraq and what happened to ou. ., ., ., came to be in iraq and what happened to ou. ., ., to you. i was going on a big holiday- — to you. i was going on a big holiday- it _ to you. i was going on a big holiday. it was _ to you. i was going on a big holiday. it was a _ to you. i was going on a big holiday. it was a very i to you. i was going on a big holiday. it was a very big i to you. i was going on a big - holiday. it was a very big holiday with my partner. that was to malaysia. and so we set off on

holiday and the next thing we know, i'm sitting inside a hydroelectric plant in the north—east of iraq waiting to be executed. not much i can really add to that we landed after the iraqi invasion had started. there were other flights diverted and for some reason, which we are now aware of, more or less, thanks to steven davis, a new zealand journalist who has been looking at this for 30 years, and published an excellent book, trojan horse, a couple of months ago, he has... talk to people including senior embassy officials and british airways people. and both british airways people. and both british airways and the british government were aware that an invasion was likely an imminent. and i think you have said that the british

government could have told to share ways but failed to. i think more factually it would be to say that they chose not to tell british airways. british airways in kuwait was very aware that an invasion was imminent, they had been warned by the embassy that that was the case. so everybody knew that the invasion was going to happen, apart from the passengers, it seems. find i was going to happen, apart from the passengers, it seems. and i suppose one of the things _ passengers, it seems. and i suppose one of the things that _ passengers, it seems. and i suppose one of the things that has _ passengers, it seems. and i suppose one of the things that has been - one of the things that has been difficult for you and the other people in that situation was the lack of information, the misinformation that has gone on for many years. how difficult has not been for you? i many years. how difficult has not been for you?— many years. how difficult has not been for you? i don't think anybody wants to be — been for you? i don't think anybody wants to be lied _ been for you? i don't think anybody wants to be lied to, _ been for you? i don't think anybody wants to be lied to, we _ been for you? i don't think anybody wants to be lied to, we are - been for you? i don't think anybody wants to be lied to, we are adults. | wants to he lied to, we are adults. and as a bunch, you know, i'd like to think we are a fairly resilient bunch. we spent almost five months as hostages, literally on death row, waiting to be executed, in quite

unpleasant conditions. i can handle the truth. and i accept that there were geopolitical reasons, strategic reasons that the government chose for us to land in kuwait. stephen davies in his book has got undeniable test that weighs eight military —— testimony that there was a military team on board the flight and it was essential for them to be and it was essential for them to he landed. i think it is despicable a civilian flight was used like that they thought they would get away with it but did not. just tell me the truth, is really all i would say to the british government. if necessary, tell us behind closed doors and tell us to sign whatever it is to keep our mouths shut about it. but to treat is the way we are being treated, we are being treated like in the seals, really. the

statement that came out, i think —— we are being treated like ins. the statement yesterday, you can almost hear sir humphrey and it... 50m; statement yesterday, you can almost hear sir humphrey and it. . .— hear sir humphrey and it... sorry i am 'ust hear sir humphrey and it... sorry i am just going _ hear sir humphrey and it... sorry i am just going to — hear sir humphrey and it... sorry i am just going to say, _ hear sir humphrey and it... sorry i am just going to say, this - am just going to say, this statement, it says, the failure was unacceptable. as the current secretary of state, i apologise to the has and express my deepest sympathy to those who were detained and mistreated. iam sympathy to those who were detained and mistreated. i am interested to think of what you make of that statement and the words from liz truss. it statement and the words from liz truss. , , . , , ., truss. it is platitudes, it is not really get _ truss. it is platitudes, it is not really get to — truss. it is platitudes, it is not really get to the _ truss. it is platitudes, it is not really get to the heart - truss. it is platitudes, it is not really get to the heart of- truss. it is platitudes, it is not really get to the heart of the l truss. it is platitudes, it is not - really get to the heart of the issue in that the flight was deliberately landed with the british government and british airways having knowledge that an invasion was both likely and imminent. so it does not address the

issue of why the flight had landed. they very carefully worded the denial that there were military personnel on board being landed saying, the files were consistent with. they do not deny, theyjust say, we didn't see that in the file from 30 years ago. so the fact that we have this statement from liz truss is, i suppose, a step in the right direction, but i think that has only come because of this book by stephen davies which was published in august, and it had testimony, i'm not sure if i am allowed to say in the uk the source of the testimony from the british embassy. but somebody did break ranks in august and admit that british airways had been briefed. when that narrative up until now had

been that nobody at the embassy new and british airways had not been informed. british airways were fully aware that the invasion was imminent. aware that the invasion was imminent-_ aware that the invasion was imminent. ~ ., , ., �* imminent. won last question, i'm interested to _ imminent. won last question, i'm interested to know, _ imminent. won last question, i'm interested to know, having - imminent. won last question, i'm interested to know, having gone i interested to know, having gone through this incredibly traumatic experience, how do you manage now when you look back at that time? reading the testimony, what happened to you, it was so incredibly frightening and distressing. how are you going to look back on that? you aet you going to look back on that? you net on you going to look back on that? you get on with — you going to look back on that? you get on with it- _ you going to look back on that? you get on with it- i— you going to look back on that? gm. get on with it. i think, you know, we were very lucky to come back from it. so you just make the most of being, you know, hopefully living in a free country with the rule of law. and be grateful for that. a free country with the rule of law. and be gratefulfor that. it a free country with the rule of law. and be grateful for that. it is galling, when that is one of the things that you hold dear, and it's

very obvious then that you are still being tied to. i am very much at peace with iraq, i have been back on a couple of occasions, i am friends with the manager of the facility where i was health college —— hostage, i have stayed at his home. my hostage, i have stayed at his home. my issue is with the british government and its continued cover up government and its continued cover up with this. please come clean, thatis up with this. please come clean, that is all i would say to them. thank you very much indeed. i want to bring you this statement from british airways who say, the records confirm that british airways was not warned about the invasion, that is the official statement from british airways about what happened. nearly half past seven. we will speak to dominic raab, deputy prime minister come in a couple of minutes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. essex police are appealing

aspects of business. just every minute detail of business, because you just don't know what's round the corner. like, being more aware of threats to a business. you just have to be a little bit more prepared for anything, really. now, you'll have seen many places have their christmas lights up already. one man from bracknell has decided to decorate his car. nicholas martin is hoping to spread some festive cheer, driving around the uk over the next five weeks. he's hoping to raise £50,000 for charities. so, i started the first of many project as a bit of fun, really. at last year i managed to raise £5,000, just over. and this year i would absolutely love to raise over £50,000. travel now. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning.

some hail, sleet and snow as well as the brain. ahead of them —— ahead of it, some gales. this evening and overnight the weather front continues to move south is a weak affair. the wind strengthened in the north gusting to 60 mph. another cold night with frost. we have some showers peppering the coast in the highlands, some of those in the highlands will be wintry, even at lower levels. a cold start to the day tomorrow. the dregs of the weather front move away. and then a dry day, a sunny day for many to start with. we have more of a northerly wind during the course of thursday. that is going to bring in showers across windward coast, some of them making it inland following a sleet and snow, notjust on the heels but lower levels in the north of scotland. temperatures only about four degrees to maybe ten in the south—west of england. on friday the low pressure starts to come our way.

it moves across us. you can see this pete carol of cloud. this is a weather front wrapped around it. where you see that that is where we will have some rain. for the rest of us we are looking at showers. some of those could be wintry, especially on higher ground. some of that will get down to lower levels. six to about the wind will become more of a feature friday night into saturday. it will produce rain and snow, not just on higher ground, but lower levels as well. the wind 50 to 60 miles per r. around the coast and headlines we are looking at 70 to 80 mph. damaging strength. something to consider if you have any travel arrangements for friday night or saturday. saturdays is a low pressure is starting to pull away. it takes its rain and showers with it. sky is bright and behind. it is still going to be pretty windy during the course of saturday as

(tx next) three, two, one, and left off. blasting off into space for the start of a 7 million mile journey and a first for nasa. this is the

dart spacecraft and its heading for an asteroid to crash into it and knock it off course. this rock doesn't pose any danger to our planet but it is a test of technology for future threats. the reason we are doing this is in case we ever discover an asteroid actually headed towards earth. we want to know that we can use this technique to change its orbit so that it will not impact us. nasa is targeting a small asteroid called diomorphos, which is orbiting around a larger space rock. the spacecraft travelling at 13,000 miles an hour will fly into the small asteroid, leaving an impact crater up to 20 metres wide. but this should also give the rock a kick which will speed up its orbit. and this can be monitored from the earth to see if it's worked. all you really need is a nudge, because the distances you're going and the speeds you're going, a tiny change in direction can result in a huge change in how far it's going to miss the earth. and that could be vital.

are in the mood for spending. my teacher at scott said of this is cheating, to which i don't care, why wouldn't we make it as easy as possible for ourselves? so, i will explain a bit about why christmas spent is so important. they call this the golden season for the economy. an average we spend about £2500 every month. in december that goes up by 30%, by about £740 per person. before the pandemic around one third of us came to an event like this, a winter wonderland, a christmas market, and between us we spent about half a billion pounds. that is what these markets brought to the economy before the pandemic. things are changing rapidly. notjust because people are leaving this industry, or did do during the course of 2020 and 2021, big but also breaks it meant lots of traders haven't been able to come back and get their goods and in the same way.

—— brexit. will these markets be bringing the same wonder to us but also the economy? colletta smith has been finding out. anya thinks of manchester as her second home. she's been running christmas stalls here for decades, but it's been a struggle getting work permits this year. anya thinks of manchester as her second home. there was a lot of paperwork and it was a bit complicated to get into the process at the beginning. that's a big investment of time and money for you? it is, it is. and now we are ordering most of our german products with english companies so that we don't have to do the process to bring them over. it's their paperwork and they deliver it to us in manchester, and so that's a bit more easy for us. with more paperwork hurdles for getting staff and goods over here, christmas markets in england, scotland and wales will feel distinctly less european this year. but in northern ireland, the markets there are having the exact opposite problem. it's been very easy for european traders to come

into northern ireland, and it's been straightforward. the bureaucracy comes in when you try to get english traders or scottish traders coming into northern ireland. alan runs four christmas markets. glasgow, cheltenham, harrogate and belfast. and says this year has been the most difficult because brexit has created a new trade border in the irish sea. we had a number of traders cancel and stay on other markets in england, rather than coming into belfast. we had about four or five traders. one of our traders was prevented at liverpool from boarding a ferry, because they didn't have a particular eoi number for the vehicle itself. marcus has had no problems running his german gluhwein store in northern ireland, but he decided not to sell at his usual market in the rest of the uk. the decision to be made is, the problems, the brexit problems, and the exit, brexit exit problems

for getting the alcohol inside, for example. the difficulties. so i decided at the moment, stop. really difficult. those problems mean there are less big christmas markets happening across the uk, but in lots of places, smaller alternatives are springing up instead. so this is the main restaurant where we will be holding the christmas markets. every stall will get a table each. all the businesses that we have got that are involved, they are all home—made, handmade, and it's their own little hobby that they do on the side. emma is a full—time mum, but she is selling her sweets here and in a few other mini markets in the next few weeks, once the kids are in bed. with the lead—up for christmas, i'm doing a lot more now. i'm enjoying it and we're all happy. you can balance that out? yeah, definitely. it means you're bringing in a bit of extra cash as well. course it does, yeah, definitely. which is, you know, it's a helping hand. with new hurdles for some

and new opportunities for others, markets of all sizes are hoping this christmas is a cracker. coletta smith, bbc news. aren't we all hoping it will be a cracker after the two years that we have had? one person who certainly is is james. good morning. you are one of the organisers here. the question for you is, what has the public appetite been returning to events like this? we are slightly out of practice but then christmas is magical. out of practice but then christmas is mauical. , ., , out of practice but then christmas is mauical. , , out of practice but then christmas ismaaical. , , ., . is magical. christmas is magical. we haven't been — is magical. christmas is magical. we haven't been at _ is magical. christmas is magical. we haven't been at the _ is magical. christmas is magical. we haven't been at the designer - is magical. christmas is magical. we haven't been at the designer outlet i haven't been at the designer outlet for two years ago —— now. we are back. a perfect day for ice skating. we are seeing really strong bookings. there is a real appetite forfamilies bookings. there is a real appetite for families to have a traditional christmas that they didn't have last year.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. harper's law. mandatory life sentences for anyone who kills emergency service workers, after tireless campaigning by the widow of pc andrew harper. most people who applied to the windrush compensation scheme

have yet to receive a single penny. a group of mps says the home office should be held to account. )he'sjust run 101 miles in a day. kevin sinfield will hobble onto the sofa to tell us what the challenge meant to him and his friend rob burrow. we are finding out what makes hexham in northumberland the happiest place in northumberland the happiest place in the uk to live. good morning. some of us aren't waking up to mist and fog patches, particularly in the south and south—east, as well as the vale of york. forthe south—east, as well as the vale of york. for the rest of us, cloudy start, rain pushing south followed by blustery showers. the potential for some destructive winds by the end of this working week. all of the details late in the programme —— disruptive winds.

it's wednesday the 24th of november. anyone who kills an emergency worker while committing a crime is to be given a mandatory life sentence in prison. the ministry ofjustice says it wants to introduce the new law in england and wales "as soon as possible". it follows a tireless campaign by the widow of pc andrew harper, who was killed while trying to stop a gang of burglars. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, can tell us more. we have just been hearing from the justice secretary dominic raab on breakfast, what is the government thinking? the breakfast, what is the government thinkin: ? . , . breakfast, what is the government thinkinu? . , . breakfast, what is the government thinkin? i , . thinking? the justice secretary was ex - lainin: thinking? the justice secretary was earplaining they _ thinking? the justice secretary was explaining they will _ thinking? the justice secretary was explaining they will amend - thinking? the justice secretary was explaining they will amend a - thinking? the justice secretary was explaining they will amend a bill. explaining they will amend a bill going to parliament at the moment to introduce mandatory life sentences for anyone in england and wales who kills an emergency worker while they are carrying out another crime. and as you said, this follows the very high—profile campaign by the widow of andrew harper, lissie, after the

would not mind, because it turns out he is a bit of a softie despite his quite tough reputation. i like your use of the phrase _ quite tough reputation. i like your use of the phrase wriggly - quite tough reputation. i like your use of the phrase wriggly worm i quite tough reputation. i like your i use of the phrase wriggly worm when you talk about babies in the comments! —— wiggle room! 95 percent of windrush scandal victims are yet to receive any compensation more than two years after the home office launched a scheme to make amends. a report from a group of mp has called for the programme to be taken out of government control warning that it's causing further trauma to those who were wrongly accused of living in the uk illegally. our home affairs editor, mark easton, reports. the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans. many are ex servicemen who know england. the windrush compensation scheme was supposed to right the wrongs of a scandal that rocked the government and the nation. thousands of british residents, mostly of caribbean heritage, had been wrongly classed as illegal immigrants by the home office, denied the right to work, health care and housing. others were held in immigration detention or deported. but now, an all—party committee of mps has concluded the scheme itself has actually compounded the injustice. to be in a situation where four

years on from the windrush scandal, only 30% of those applying have received anything, only 5% of those eligible have received anything, is simply wrong. and it really doesn't recognise that this is an ageing generation who were so badly wronged by home office failures. the home affairs committee's report refers to the excessive burden on claimants, inadequate staffing and long delays, with concerns that many are still too fearful of the home office to apply at all. four years on from the windrush scandal, the committee notes the vast majority of people who applied for compensation have yet to receive a penny. what is this, what's going on? you anthony brian? yes? what's this about? anthony brian, i'm arresting you on suspicion of being an illegal resident. what you talking about, illegal? this tv drama tells the story of one windrush victim, anthony brian, who was almost deported,

and his wife janet mackay who spent her life savings fighting to keep her husband in the uk. i just think they're a headache, stressful. and the people you're dealing with really don't understand where you're coming from. i don't think so, anyway. they treat you like you're nobody. and it's the same circle nonstop. responding to the mps' damning report, the home office said the home secretary and the department remained steadfast in their commitment to ensure that members of the windrush generation received every penny of compensation that they were entitled to. adding that they continue to make improvements to the scheme. mark easton, bbc news. police searching for a missing teenager in plymouth have found a body. 18—year—old bobbi—anne mccloud was last seen on saturday evening, when she left home to meet friends. two men in their 20s have been arrested on suspicion of murder. a man has appeared in court

in the us state of wisconsin, accused of driving the car which ploughed through pedestrians taking part in a christmas parade. darrell brooks, who is 39, wept during the hearing. he's charged with five counts of intentional homicide. an eight—year—old boy, jackson sparks, has since died of his injuries, raising the death toll to six. women who experience bleeding in early pregnancy, and have suffered at least one miscarriage before, should be given the hormone progesterone. that's the new guidance published today from the health watchdog nice. it's based on research which suggests the treatment could prevent 8,500 miscarriages in the uk every year. the bbc�*s global health correspondent tulip mazumdar reports from birmingham women's hospital. as you know, he a little bit quiet and when i can see anything i will show you what we are looking at. is that all right? these seconds pass slowly.

and then... there's your beautiful baby's heart beating. josie has been pregnant five times before. she experienced bleeding early on in all of those pregnancies, leading to a loss each time. that's really lovely. baby has started to wiggle about. this time though she has been put on progesterone, and all seems to be going well. we definitely got to the point where we really thought we wouldn't become parents. after five losses, to get this far and actually start to believe it might happen, isjust, yeah, incredible. progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone which helps prepare the womb to nurture the growing baby. whilst it won't be useful in all pregnancies, it can make all the difference in some. bleeding is quite common in early pregnancy. and it doesn't always necessarily mean that there

is a miscarriage about to happen. so the woman would come in and we would scan and see if the pregnancy was ok. women were traditionally told to go home and see what happens. and there wasn't really anything else that we could do. which is tough? really tough. it's lovely now to have some kind of treatment that we can give patients. the new guidance is based on the results of the present trial, which found that progesterone didn't make much of a difference for women who'd just had bleeding and no previous miscarriages. but for women who'd had at least one loss, progesterone was shown to have some benefit. and for those who suffered three or more miscarriages, there was substantial benefit. researchers here say giving this simple treatment to women who have bleeding in early pregnancy, and have had at least one miscarriage, could prevent around 8500 miscarriages every year

here in the uk. this is something worth giving it a go. josie and david are now the furthest they have ever been into a pregnancy. and at 15 weeks they are cautiously optimistic. now we are trying to switch the feelings to be excited. yeah, we get to see it and it's going to be ok. afterfour orfive, how the hell are you hopeful it was ever going to work? and thankfully, progesterone does feel like that miracle thing for us. some doctors do already prescribe progesterone, but it can be a postcode lottery. this changing guidance means it will be much more widely available to women. this is a very significant moment. we have an intervention that works, that can stop a miscarriage. this would give hope to thousands of couples. but it's really important to appreciate that only some miscarriages can be prevented by progesterone. there are other causes for miscarriages and not everybody

would benefit from progesterone. faye's proud mum to five—year—old leila. they took part in the prism trial, which led to today's changing guidance. it was a relief. we were doing something different during that pregnancy. i think it felt like previously we were just doing the same, you know, the same thing was happening and we were just hoping something would magically change. so, i did feel good, but i was absolutely terrified. but on this occasion, obviously, it was a happy ending. that was fay ending tulip mazumdar�*s report. our thanks to her, and tojosie and david, for sharing their experiences with us. now let's speak to professor siobhan quenby, the deputy director at tommy's national centre for miscarriage research.

and also to louisa gale. she gave birth to her son oliver after being treated with progesterone, following two miscarriages. i think we can hear oliver in the background there!— i think we can hear oliver in the background there! yes! i am trying to net him background there! yes! i am trying to get him on _ background there! yes! i am trying to get him on camera, _ background there! yes! i am trying to get him on camera, but - background there! yes! i am trying to get him on camera, but he - background there! yes! i am trying to get him on camera, but he is i background there! yes! i am trying | to get him on camera, but he is not cooperating this morning! we to get him on camera, but he is not cooperating this morning!— cooperating this morning! we have been talking _ cooperating this morning! we have been talking already _ cooperating this morning! we have been talking already this _ cooperating this morning! we have been talking already this morning i been talking already this morning about the challenges of combining working and children and oliver is most welcome and he can make as much noise as he likes! tell us about your expense, louisa, thankfully this drug seems to have worked for you? this drug seems to have worked for ou? , ., this drug seems to have worked for ou? i ., , . i you? -- your experience? every sto , you? -- your experience? every story. in — you? -- your experience? every story. in 2018 — you? -- your experience? every story. in 2018 -- _ you? -- your experience? every story, in 2018 -- a _ you? -- your experience? every story, in 2018 -- a brief- you? -- your experience? every story, in 2018 -- a brief story, i you? -- your experience? every| story, in 2018 -- a brief story, in story, in 2018 —— a brief story, in 2018 we decided to try and grow our family and we were fortunate to get pregnant quite quickly. at the end of september i was nine weeks pregnant and we went for a scan and was told that our baby had stopped

growing at six weeks five days, which was obviously awful. and then fell pregnant again quite quickly, and new year's eve 2018, i had another miscarriage at six weeks and six days. there we go, that is only�*s contribution! so we decided to have a little break with trying for a baby. but to have a little break with trying fora baby. but again in to have a little break with trying for a baby. but again injuly 2019, ifell pregnant again for a baby. but again injuly 2019, i fell pregnant again and again at six weeks, began bleeding. and obviously, you think, you know, third time, here we are again, it's happening again. it was actually my sister that reminded me of an instagram post that we had seen from the charity thommy�*s, and we had talked about it, and said how great it was, about progesterone, about the really positive results they had seen from their trial. so we went to

an early pregnancy unit and we had a scan and they said baby was fine. so we asked for the progesterone immediately and we were told we were not allowed to have it and it wouldn't work for us. but we put our foot down and said we would like to try something and we didn't want to sit on our hands and do nothing. so after a little bit of a battle, they did give it to us. and i started taking the progesterone that day. and the bleeding stopped within 24 hours and ollie was born in march. that's wonderful to hear that you have got, we have heard him, i think we can see some pictures! you might be able to see _ we can see some pictures! you might be able to see him _ we can see some pictures! you might be able to see him now! _ we can see some pictures! you might be able to see him now! hello, - be able to see him now! hello, ollie! guinness, _ be able to see him now! hello, ollie! guinness, you _ be able to see him now! hello, ollie! guinness, you have - be able to see him now! hello, l ollie! guinness, you have grown! be able to see him now! hello, - ollie! guinness, you have grown! and his uiraffe.
