hartnett, nadia sharif and emily moore were 17 and 18 years old. they were in the care of the tees, esk and weir valley trust and all three, who were friends, died within eight months of each other. they were treated at west lane hospital, which provided specialist child and adolescent mental health services, including treatment for eating disorders. the report sent to their deaths found a total of 120 failures in the treatment provided to them. our north of england correspondent fiona trott has spoken to christie's family, who are calling for urgent change. # you can count on me, like one, two. three~~~#_ singing, constantly, and dancing around the rooms all the time. and the smile. yes. the biggest smile. every time, wasn't it? but behind the smile, christie hartnett was suffering. she was different, for want of a better word. she'd hide under tables and throw stuff around the classroom. after years of mental health issues, christie was admitted to west lane hospital with anorexia.

how it was there is more reminiscent of how the victorian institutions used to be. yeah. you know, having to clean the blood up off their own walls from head—banging. part of their policy was that the kids had to clean it up because they needed to learn that... to manage their illness. to manage their illness, yeah. i remember telling her... ..if you tell them everything that's going on in your head, they'll help you. yeah. and you'll be able to live your life. but while christie was here, the family believe her mental health got worse. they say she was unlawfully strip—searched. she was even discharged into hotel accommodation, where she harmed herself. the trust is due in court next year, accused of breaching the health and social care act. as for the hospital itself, it is now being run by a different trust. when you read christie's report, what is really confronting is that there is a whole list of issues here which the authors believe had a direct impact on her death. not recognising the risks

after a ligature attempt, three months before she died. a shortage of skilled staff. a lack of secure nhs and social care places. the report's authors say, "such issues, we believe, were the root causes of christie's death." that's big. yeah. what do you say to that? even now, seeing "multifaceted and systematic failing"... words they have waited more than three years to see, but what they say is tough. it was horrible, reading it, because... it's there in black and white that it was their fault. you know, there was always a bit of... a little bit of doubting that we'd get that much. we were right. we were right all along in saying how awful it was in there for these young people. today, the trust says it is deeply sorry. we have changed our clinical

and operational structures. we have introduced new sorts of roles, for example, lived experience directors, probably one of the first trusts in the country, which allow us to bring the voice of the patient to the top tables. we have been investing over £5 million in the last two years in improving ourward environments to make them safer. nadia sharif also died whilst being treated at west lane hospital. today's report says staff weren't fully trained to deal with her autism and a failure to address self—ligature risks was root cause of her death. that failure was a feature in the emily moore report, too. she took her own life at a different hospital. christie's family, along with nadia and emily's, are waiting for the full inquest into their deaths. it is hard, really hard... ..that she's not here. i miss her. it's a big miss.

that was christie's grandmother, ending that report. today's publications did show examples of good practice at the trust, and some of the relatives say they thought the investigation was excellent and thorough. finally, they know what the failings were but they still don't know how they occurred. they are calling for a public inquiry. they say they want urgent change because what their daughters went through, they say, should never happen to another vulnerable young person ever again. fiona, thank you. if you have been affected by any of the issues that have been discussed in that report or would like to learn more, visit bbc.co.uk/action line for more information. the prime minister has changed his mind and will now attend next week's cop27 climate summit in egypt. the u—turn comes in the wake of widespread criticism,

including from conservative mps, after rishi sunak said he couldn't go because he would be too busy preparing for the autumn statement. let's get more from our political editor chris mason in westminster. why this sudden about turn? he: reckons he's got time now. he thinks enough progress has been made with the budget coming up in a fortnight for him to have space in his diary for him to have space in his diary for a quick dash to egypt and back for a quick dash to egypt and back for this summit. he told mps at lunchtime, there is no long—term prosperity without action on climate change, and no energy security without investment in renewables. one other thing, he also learned yesterday that one boris johnson, yes, the prime minister before last, would be rocking up himself. the current prime minister deciding that he wants to be there, on his first foreign trip in the job, a he wants to be there, on his first foreign trip in thejob, a chance he wants to be there, on his first foreign trip in the job, a chance to meet fellow world leaders. but this about turn on the summit is indicative of a broader thing that we are seeing within government at the moment, that we have a "don't

know yet" government right now. rishi sunak has come in and is not committing explicitly to all sorts of promises he made over the summer when he was first campaigning for prime minister, or necessarily to things that were in the conservative manifesto in 2019. they are making the case that that is pragmatic, this is a prime minister who was a backbencher a couple of weeks ago, they want to think things through before they announce them. i suspect in the next fortnight, before the budget, there will be plenty more "don't know yet" in answer to specific questions but that line will only last for so long. ichris will only last for so long. chris mason, thank _ will only last for so long. chris mason, thank you. _ the football world cup kicks off in qatar in 18 days' time, the first time it's being staged in the middle east. fifa, world football's governing body, claimed it would be the first carbon—neutral tournament. but environmentalists are furious and are now challenging that claim. in an open letter, a group of professional footballers are also demanding that fifa drops its carbon—neutral claim, with one telling the bbc that the tournament is an absolute disaster in terms

of officers should have failed vetting checks. also coming up... jailed for being part of a racist and misogynistic police whatsapp group. scotland yard call them "despicable". and he's nearly done it. the severely sight—impaired kayaker who's paddling the thames. the cost of making a cup of tea went up significantly last month as food prices continued to rise at record rates. costs for tea bags, milk and sugar all rose in october according to the trade body the british retail consortium. food price inflationjumped from 10.6% to 11.6%. higher costs for ingredients and energy and worker shortages are all contributing to the rise in prices. the rising cost of food is affecting charities too. at a time when they're seeing increasing need, donations are falling and rising prices mean they can't afford to buy replacements.

here's our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan. these empty pallets show the stark reality for some charities. falling donations mean it's a weekly scramble for this charity to fill up to 1,000 food boxes a week for needy families across the north—east. we used to have 19 items in a box of food that we sent out. we are down to 17 now because we just simply don't have the money to put those extra items in. what have you taken out? we have taken out tea bags and we are just on the point of taking out meat. the charity was formed to provide help at christmas and last year 9,000 hampers were distributed. this year it will likely be far fewer. last year, the christmas cake cost us 93p. this year the price we are quoted is £1110, so at the moment i can only commit to buying 6,000. i can't blow the whole of the budget just on christmas cakes.

people say it is going out as soon as it is coming in. it does, it's like a revolving door. a few miles away much needed donation for a small a few miles away a much needed donation for a small food bank in newcastle. its shelves are also near emptyjust as demand is surging. we are nearly at crisis point again and if we don't continue getting donations in, we are at risk of closing. like businesses, charities will benefit from a government scheme to cut energy bills for six months. but other costs are rising, donations are falling and demands are increasing. our members were the front line of supporting people during the covid crisis over the last two or three years. they haven't really recovered from the impact of that and now they are facing this massive double whammy. at this drop—in centre for the homeless in manchester they are seeing more and more people seeking help, but the organisers are reaching the limit of what they can do.

staff have been cut and some services have been reduced. we are having to say no to people at the minute because our guests are used to coming in and getting a pair of boxer shorts, a pair of socks and we are not having the donations in that we were having so we are having to say no about that. we can still provide the food and stuff but we haven't got it in abundance that we did have. one irony of the cost—of—living crisis is that those now seeking help are the very people that often donated to the charities that are now struggling to support them. michael buchanan, bbc news. life continues to change for people in russia eight months after the invations of ukraine. controls on people are becoming more repressive and there are new restrictions on public expression — tough penalties for those who dare to protest. some academics are drawing comparisons with memories of a darker past, whenjoseph stalin ruled the soviet union with an iron fist.

millions of russians died during stalin's brutal dictatorship, part of history that russia tries to forget. but as steve rosenberg reports from st petersburg, there are fears that the lessons from that time are needed today. singing. how many in russia want to remember the darker chapters of their country's history? very few. every year they gather to remember the great terror of the 1930s... ..by reading out the names ofjosef stalin's victims, the million he executed, the millions more sent to prison camps. the gulag has gone but fear is returning. repression is increasing by the week, local politician sergei troschen tells me. you can feel the fear today in russian society. and we can feel we are

being watched and filmed. hardly undercover surveillance. for critics of the authorities there are consequences. university lecturer denis skopen has just been sacked for immoral behaviour. he had been arrested for protesting against mobilisation for the war in ukraine. he had spent ten days injail. but look at the send—off his students gave him on his last day at work. cheering. i love my students very much. they understand very well what is happening now in russia. denis says many of his colleagues, academics and scientists, have fled russia. russia is losing the best people now, the most educated, the most energetic, the most critically thinking people are leaving the country. where is russia heading right now?

in short, russia is going in the wrong direction. and it feels like the past is still casting a shadow over russia's present and future. history never repeats itself exactly, but there are worrying parallels between russia's past and the present. underjosef stalin soviet citizens who fell foul of the authorities were often labelled enemies of the people. after invading ukraine vladimir putin vowed to cleanse russia of what he called "traitors, scum and the fifth column". to help him do that president putin has introduced a new patriotic lesson in russian schools. it is called conversations about what is important. in this conversation putin claims that in ukraine russia is fighting to protect russia.

critics call it indoctrination. there are children who just believe, they open their eyes and they are ready to believe in everything. and that is very dangerous. because if there is one thing russian history teaches us it is this — that if you believe in everything a leader here says and does without question that can have tragic consequences. steve rosenberg, bbc news, saint petersburg. a damning report has warned that hundreds of police officers in england and wales have been cleared to serve when they should have failed vetting procedures. the police watchdog looked at eight forces and reviewed hundreds of vetting files. here's our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds. "it's too easy for the wrong people to get in." that's the verdict of this report and the concerns go back a decade. this is stephen mitchell, a northumbria police officer,

jailed for rape and sexual assaults committed on duty when he joined the police. previous allegations about him weren't revealed in the vetting process. or, another one, ian naude, cheshire police, convicted of child sexual abuse. past allegations against him were put on the police database, but he wasn't given extra vetting. and wayne couzens, the muderer of sarah everard. his vetting is still being investigated. today's report was commissioned because of that horrific case. the inspectors closely examined sample vetting cases from eight forces. about one in five of them is somebody we think either shouldn't have joined or if they were going tojoin, should have had some special controls put around them. i don't think it is being taken seriously enough. i don't think police leadership realises how important it is. i don't think police leaders realise the risk they carry by not having

higher vetting standards and therefore, it's too easy for the wrong people to get in. a bit more on those findings. the police watchdog examined 725 cases where officers were vetted. in 131 the decision was questionable at best. this is nicola brookes. a police inspector from sussex police who dealt with her allegation of stalking was sacked for gross misconduct. why? he abused his position and engineered a brief sexual relationship with her, while she was vulnerable. she's not the only one. as my investigation proves, they target the most vulnerable women, and it is usually women like, you know, domestic violence, serious cases of stalking. and nobody questions them because they are veteran, experienced officers. you are not going to change that culture overnight. there is clearly not any vetting

going on throughout the officers' careers which is what i think is what needs to be done. today's report agrees and also recommends that all past allegations against current or future officers are examined closely even if they didn't end up in court. police chiefs are under pressure to recruit thousands of new officers lost in past cuts, but they say they are determined to improve vetting and root out bad cops. the deputy first minister of scotland, john swinney, has announced £615 million of budget savings on top of the £560 million of savings already announced. he told msps that further cuts were required to balance the books. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon is at holyrood and has the details. john swinney said he wanted to wait until after the uk government's autumn statement to set out this

emergency budget statement here in scotland, but he said, in his words, he described the uk's government's in followed by calamity followed by austerity meant he could wait no longer. he said because of inflation there was a £1.7 billion shortfall in the scottish government's budget compared to what was set out in december last year. he detailed hundreds of millions of pounds worth of cuts in september. today he set out the details of a £650 million of further cuts to services. he called those reductions are re—prioritisation in areas like health, social care and mental health, social care and mental health funding. there was salami funding and other areas like the rolling out of broadband and marketing budgets, but he was also keen to set out the wider context that some of this money would be used to fund, like increases in public sector pay and the nhs and local authorities. and also more

money would go to low income households. they had been doubling the budget and areas for low income families with children and fuel insecurity funds. the opposition parties here at the scottish parliament questioned whether this was the time for a national care service and why changes to the mental health funding? but it is important to say that this is just the beginning. john swinney said the autumn statement by the uk government was likely to set out eye watering cuts ahead. the man who scored of one of the most iconic goals in fa cup history, ronnie radford, has died at the age of 79. he scored the equaliser for non—league hereford united against newcastle united in the third round in 1972. his goal forced extra time, with hereford going on to beat newcastle in one of the competition's biggest upsets. there are thousands of ukrainian children living in the uk, who are trying to settle into new communities, new schools and new homes.
