those affected and of the government say that we want to engage with this inquiry and to learn the lessons that will come out of it. live now to our correspondent catherine burns. tell us more about that and of course aboutjeremy hunt. tell us more about that and of course about jeremy hunt. jeremy hunt hasjust — course about jeremy hunt. jeremy hunt has just finished _ course about jeremy hunt. jeremy hunt has just finished giving - hunt has just finished giving evidence and he is ideally placed to ask about, this model, because he was the health secretary in the years leading up to the covid break—out. he talked about questions that were not asked and he said, did we ask could it have been something apart from a flu pandemic, and we also did not ask what could have been done to stop the high number of deaths. he spoke about what he called the mistaken assumption that the uk was well placed to deal with the uk was well placed to deal with the pandemic so there was a report

byjohn hopkins university that said the uk was second best placed in the world. jeremy hunt is nowjust leaving. someone is heckling him. destroying the country! the? leaving. someone is heckling him. destroying the country!— destroying the country! they are sa in: destroying the country! they are saying that _ destroying the country! they are saying that he — destroying the country! they are saying that he destroyed - destroying the country! they are saying that he destroyed the - saying that he destroyed the country. saying that he destroyed the count . ~ ~' ., saying that he destroyed the count . ~ ~ ., ., saying that he destroyed the count .~ ~ ., ., saying that he destroyed the count .~ ~' ., . country. we know what you did! they said ou country. we know what you did! they said you destroyed _ country. we know what you did! they said you destroyed the _ country. we know what you did! they said you destroyed the country, - country. we know what you did! they said you destroyed the country, you i said you destroyed the country, you don't care. his point on this is that they did ask questions and they were prepared for a flu pandemic and not for a covid pandemic and he talked about something called exercise alice, a small exercise looking at the possibility of an outbreak of a coronavirus and he said he was not briefed on this which was telling, it was not seen as an important thing, but his point this was a missed opportunity because this looked at quarantine

and lockdown and nothing else the uk did to prepare examined that possibility, so he is talking about that as a missed opportunity. the other thing was about the state of the nhs, going into the pandemic, he said he was asked what could be done to help the nhs, he said we needed more capacity and he did get more doctors and nurses in his time, but some of the doctors he got in 2016, they will only start work next year, and because there a lag between doctors starting training and actually on board, he says it is never given the importance, the workforce, that it should be, so when departments are looking at the problems of the health service, they are looking at a&e and cancer care now, and he said workforce and the capacity and making sure there are enough doctors and nurses to do the job is never giving the importance

represent the women of afghanistan and to give a strong statement that women do not belong to the kitchen. julie, does it make any sense to you that just julie, does it make any sense to you thatjust because the taliban refuses to recognise afghanistan's women's team, that fifa will not let them participate?— them participate? yes, it is absolute — them participate? yes, it is absolute nonsense. - them participate? yes, it is absolute nonsense. the - them participate? yes, it is - absolute nonsense. the international community— absolute nonsense. the international community went to great lengths to make _ community went to great lengths to make sure — community went to great lengths to make sure that the women playing for the various— make sure that the women playing for the various afghanistan teams got out of— the various afghanistan teams got out of the — the various afghanistan teams got out of the country when the taliban took over_ out of the country when the taliban took over and the fact the taliban very quickly banned women playing sport should have no bearing on fifa allowing _ sport should have no bearing on fifa allowing the teams to play football. the taliban government is not recognised across the world as a legitimate government and it seems ironic_ legitimate government and it seems ironic that— legitimate government and it seems ironic that all of the elements that have gone — ironic that all of the elements that have gone into getting the girls to safety _ have gone into getting the girls to safety and letting them play football around the world, and that they cannot compete for their

another story we have been touching on. the bbc has uncovered evidence showing that hundreds of chronically sick and mentally ill patients from the windrush generation were sent back to the caribbean ? in what the government has admitted was an "historic injustice". legal experts say the practice may have been unlawful — and the families of those affected are calling for an inquiry. live now to jacqueline mckenzie, partner and head of immigration and asylum at leigh day and one of the most high profile campaigners on behalf of windrush victims. thanks forjoining us. you have described the case as worse than the original windrush scandal which we are all familiar with. why do you come to that conclusion? it are all familiar with. why do you come to that conclusion?- come to that conclusion? it was tuite come to that conclusion? it was quite shocking _ come to that conclusion? it was quite shocking and _ come to that conclusion? it was quite shocking and what - come to that conclusion? it was quite shocking and what made i come to that conclusion? it was| quite shocking and what made it worse is that with the original windrush scandal as we know it, you

could argue that despite all the problems that are ongoing with the current situation, a lot of the issues were historical and were by mistake as a result of documents not having being kept or nobody thinking that people who are british subjects are sometime in the future going to have to prove they are british subjects or citizens, but this current story is so shocking and so surprising because what we find is that the british government knew what they were doing was unlawful. although there was a law that allowed the repatriation of migrants who were deemed aliens, it did not allow this fall, wet citizens. we find in the archives documentation from government officials —— it did not allow this for commonwealth citizens. we find it is unlawful and

the need to have laws enacted to make it lawful and then others are saying, this to light? so they were fully aware that what they were doing was unlawful but even worse than that, they were also removing really sick and vulnerable people and even when they were allowed to do that with what they called aliens, they were still required to make sure there was some sort of health care system in the respective countries that people were going to that would provide safeguards for those people. fin that would provide safeguards for those people-— that would provide safeguards for those --eole. . , , those people. on that issue, let me ask ou a those people. on that issue, let me ask you a separate _ those people. on that issue, let me ask you a separate question - those people. on that issue, let me| ask you a separate question because i was asking julia armatrading this question, and given so much of this was under the guise of mental health, it is clearly an issue where those affected, whether they knew or

make me very, very angry indeed. in terms of records, compensation, apologies, redress, what do you think? bil apologies, redress, what do you think? . ., ., ., ., , , apologies, redress, what do you think? ., ., ., , think? all of that has to happen but we need an — think? all of that has to happen but we need an inquiry _ think? all of that has to happen but we need an inquiry and _ think? all of that has to happen but we need an inquiry and it _ think? all of that has to happen but we need an inquiry and it comes i we need an inquiry and it comes within the broader windrush scandal which is in my mind only really at the beginning and the two things need to come together, we need an inquiry around housing, that people of african heritage have been treated in this way with migration and stop and search and criminal justice, good health, now with mental health, all of these issues need to be looked at —— with health. we know who some of the families are and a redress scheme needs to be set “p and a redress scheme needs to be set up pronto and run efficiently, not like the windrush compensation scheme. irate like the windrush compensation scheme. ~ ., ., ., ., scheme. we have got to leave it there but thanks _ scheme. we have got to leave it there but thanks for _ scheme. we have got to leave it there but thanks forjoining i scheme. we have got to leave it there but thanks forjoining us. | scheme. we have got to leave it i there but thanks forjoining us. we are about to take a short break.

when we are back we would have the latest on the search for the submersible, the latest from our correspondence on the ground in boston. and the extended interview with the man coordinating the search, the us coast guard commander. we will play that extended interview here in a moment but now we are going to catch up with the weather forecast. good afternoon. today isjune 21st, summer solstice. it's when daylight hours seem to go on forever. and if we take a look at this chart, they're pretty impressive. many of us seeing sunrise just before 5:00 and not setting until after 9:30, 10:00. so, most of us will see 17 hours of daylight today. enjoy, if you can. we've got some showers around, most frequent and widespread the further north and west in scotland and northern ireland, but some through wales and south west close to glastonbury as well.

and these are likely to threaten on and off throughout the afternoon. some places will stay dry and if you've got that sunshine, you've also got that warmth once again, with temperatures peaking at 25 degrees, 77 fahrenheit. now, through the night, those temperatures will fall away. not going to be quite as humid as the nightjust past. so thursday morning, we start off in single figures in scotland, around 13 or 1a degrees for england and wales. there'll be a lot of dry weather around first thing in the morning and then the risk of some showers but in a different place, perhaps across northeast england, down towards east anglia and the east midlands. some of those showers could be heavy and thundery. if you dodge them, we could see a warmer day, 27 degrees. that's up to 80 fahrenheit. that bodes well if you're putting up the tent at glastonbury on thursday. lots of sunshine around, increasing humidity as we go through the weekend, risk maybe of a shower on sunday. but it's a pretty promising forecast and that's because we've got this high pressure down to the south. now, weather fronts are trying to topple across that high. so at times, they will bring

outbreaks of rain across the far north and west. so, on friday we might see cloudier conditions gradually developing down through england and wales, perhaps the best of the sunshine in south east england. but some of this rain a little bit further north and west could be heavy. so a little bit fresher, low 20s as a maximum here, 25 degrees in the southeast corner. we keep that heat and humidity because we've got this high pressure dragging in the south—westerly flow, but low pressure never too far away. so, if we put the weather fronts on, you can see there's always the risk of more wetter weather through the weekend, the further north and west you go. so, we could see a north—south divide developing into the weekend with showers or longer spells of rain at times. but it stays pretty warm in the south.
