5:37 pm
wildfires in their battling so many fronts on the mainland itself and roads and that is the aftermath of what we have been watching just one of the plans coming down into pilots on board losing their lives and some of the latest details coming to us from greece. 17,000 people referred to as the victims of modern slavery last year. that's the highest annual figure since records began in 2009. a bbc investigation has found that the care industry in the uk has seen a sharp rise in the number of modern slavery cases being reported. figures show there are more than 300 ongoing investigations in the care sector. our reporter datshiane navanayagam
5:38 pm
went to meet one of the victims. free at last and settling in to a new home. terri, not her real name, is afraid to speak in case she is identified by those who brought her here. terri was recruited by an agency on a legitimate work visa and told she'd be earning £29,000 a year as a care assistant. but when she arrived she was forced to work up to 20 hours a day unpaid. when terry complained to her employer he called her ungrateful and threatened to have her deported. the other carers mentioned before i met him he has got political ties, that makes him very dangerous where we come from in our part of the world, because a man with political ties, you don't want to go against someone like that. terrified, terri continued to work. eventually she was paid, but it worked out at less than £2 an hour.
5:39 pm
unable to afford somewhere for her children to live, they were forced to stay on the streets. that's when social services were called. she is now going through the government's national referral mechanism which identifies and supports victims of modern day slavery. last year, almost 17,000 potential victims were referred to the home office in this way. it's the highest number since the system was created in 2009. now data released exclusively to bbc�*s file on 4 reveals that the number of potential victims within the care industry reported to the modern slavery helpline more than doubled in the first quarter of this year. in the last 18 months, the care industry has become the number one priority for the enforcement agency, the glaa. a lot of the care workers we are seeing are coming from india, they are charging significant visa and work finding fees abroad, may be up to £20,000, which means that they are kind of debt—bonded before they arrive in the uk. that forces them really
5:40 pm
to accept any kind of work. there are threats then around, you know, cancellation of their kind of visa. the government told us it has invested almost £18 million since 2016 to police modern day slavery. free from her exploiters, terry is still awaiting a final free from her exploiters, terri is still awaiting a final decision from the home office on her asylum claim. in the meantime, she's allowed to work. she's not allowed to work. but she hasn't lost sight of her dreams. i want to be in a nursing school. for me, it wasn't about the money, it was being able to help somebody else, you know? datshiane navanayagam, bbc news lets speak now to sara thornton, former independent anti—slavery commissioner for the uk. thank you for being with us disturbing, alarming, what is your responsive and watch that? tt’s responsive and watch that? it's reall responsive and watch that? tt�*s really concerning and was paid tribute to the woman for speaking out because the most been very

the grassroots organisations and community groups that may be able to help them support them because very often, migrant workers are really quite isolated but i also think there is a rule for the c0 see when specs care homes and to what extend to the inspectors train to look for in terms of modern slavery and human trafficking. there are things we can do to strengthen the position and understanding and acknowledging that these people are potentially vulnerable and need to do so much more to protect them so we do not end up being exploited. we more to protect them so we do not end up being exploited.— end up being exploited. we think about the overall _ end up being exploited. we think about the overall numbers, - end up being exploited. we think i about the overall numbers, they're rising quite sharply and why do you think that is because beyond that one sector we've been talking about, the care sector? fin one sector we've been talking about, the care sector?— the care sector? on the whole, the numbers of. _ the care sector? on the whole, the numbers of, but _ the care sector? on the whole, the numbers of, but for— the care sector? on the whole, the numbers of, but for several- the care sector? on the whole, the numbers of, but for several years | numbers of, but for several years now and that is down to people being better at being able to understand
5:44 pm
the science importer force officials and police officers and authorities, the church is to a greatjob of trying to raise awareness that means more people into being referred to as being potential victims and until recently, really concerning migration act which was passed last week, it would been fair to say that confidence in the system had been growing and i'm afraid that all the skins we made in the last five or ten years about to be reversed because of the legislation has been passed last week which says the victim of modern slavery, and arrived regularly at these cases, then you will not be provided with support instead, he will be detained and be deported. —— they will be. temporary accommodation in england

5:51 pm
this in the blue part represents the under 70s and they will also see significant rises in terms of ill health and obesity is a major factor driving this and we will see significant foundations such as diabetes, chronic pain and anxiety and depression. in comparison, a healthy working age population is only going to increase by 4% and thatis only going to increase by 4% and that is why the health foundation is an angle of a major impact, notjust on the nhs upon the wider economy too close health is too on providing hospital services of the moment and how people live independently with these health conditions is going to be more focused on support in the community, better access to gp in nursing and this means over the next two decades. tn

5:55 pm
i want to make sure that we are clear because it is the area of the firefighters that such a big problem with it it's not the whole of the island, is the southeast and it's the southern part of the island and thatis the southern part of the island and that is proving to be very difficult and of the last few days,. that is proving to be very difficult and of the last few days, .- that is proving to be very difficult and of the last few days,. thank you for that update _ and of the last few days,. thank you for that update and _ and of the last few days,. thank you for that update and as _ and of the last few days,. thank you for that update and as the _ and of the last few days,. thank you for that update and as the team i for that update and as the team is moved as a result of all of those fires currently going on in roads, thatisit fires currently going on in roads, that is it for verified live will be back soon. hello. it's been a day of clouds and showers and relatively cool, certainly compared to the mediterranean. where yesterday in some spots, we had extreme temperatures.
5:56 pm
this was the highest — 48.2 degrees celsius in sardinia. hottest day of the year so far in europe. but those extreme temperatures are coming to an end, at least for now, as this jet stream dives southwards across the mediterranean by wednesday and it pushes the heat back into the sahara and the temperatures will take a tumble. in fact, in palermo on monday, where it was 47 degrees celsius, we'll look at that on wednesday. we're closer to the climatic norm of around 30 degrees or so. now, the forecast for us, though, that same jet stream is going to bring changeable weather over the coming days. in fact, tomorrow we are expecting a bright start and then rain later on. through the night, ahead of the weather front, there are some clear skies around, but also early in the morning, there could be some showers across parts of northern england. the early morning temperatures will range from around seven degrees in aberdeen to 11—12 in some of the bigger city centres.
5:57 pm
so that low pressure pushed by that jet stream that i showed you earlier on, and remember, it takes a dive into europe, but here the jet stream is actually pointing right at us. it's pushing the weather front towards us. clouds are thickening in the morning across ireland. the outbreaks of rain are moving in. and i think by around lunchtime, the thicker cloud and possibly the outbreaks of rain will be nudging in to some of these western parts of the uk, whereas further east it should be dry and bright and actually a decent day in norwich, in newcastle and also in aberdeen. but later on in the evening, so this is wednesday evening now, and into the early hours of thursday, that weather front will cross all parts and there will be rain. so most of us will catch some rain over the next 24—36 hours. here's thursday's weather forecast, then. once that weather front moves across into the north sea, it leaves a legacy of thicker cloud. it's also going to be
5:58 pm
quite humid air. temperatures will be around 20 degrees in glasgow and about 22 or three in the south and there'll be sunny spells and also a few showers. so on to the outlook into the weekend. very little change overall, that is, broadly speaking, changeable with frequent showers. bye bye.
5:59 pm
today at six: record numbers of people are homeless in england. more than 100,000 children are among those living in temporary accommodation and it's
6:00 pm
taking its toll. just not knowing, you know, any day, this isn't insecure, it isn't like we're definitely going to live here until we move on. something could happen with this place, we could move on again. also on the programme: two pilots have died in greece after their water bombing plane crashed while they tried to fight forest fires north of athens. the head of natwest has admitted a serious error ofjudgment after serious error of judgment after revealing serious error ofjudgment after revealing she discuss nigel faraj�*s relationship with the private bank coutts with the bbc. the french football star — kylian mbappe and record breaking £259 million transfer fee — but will he take it? and the man who started picking up litter as a hobby — and found himself inspiring others to pick up litter around the world. coming up on sportsday later on bbc news. we'll have the latest from the women's world cup where the co—hosts new zealand were stunned by the philippines.
