earn $25 million a year. the next ten days will be important, but in the last ten days we have watched and read a lot about the team and the players. also, we have four friendly matches before starting qualification for the world cup. we have to work hard, we need enough time. and that's all the sport for now. a critical report into a mental health trust which lost track of patient deaths was edited to remove blame from its leadership. injune, auditors grant thornton revealed how the norfolk and suffolk foundation trust had
11:51 am
failed to record thousands of deaths properly. but bbc newsnight has found multiple references of "poor", "weak" and "inadequate" governance were removed before publication. the trust and auditors say it was part of a fact checking exercise. live now to norwich, we can speak to caroline aldridge — she's a bereaved parent, mental health campaigner and author. she's been working to raise awareness of crisis in mental health services following the death of her son, tim. what was your experiences of the trust? i have been trying to work with the trust for nine years, since my son died, to try and raise awareness of people dying, why they are dying, how we need to learn from that. over nine years i have made no progress, because i am continually meeting

barriers of denials, not listening, false promises, cover—ups. it has come to a point where we recognised that actually they had lost count of the out patient deaths, which says something truly terrible about an nhs service, for mental health patients, that doesn't even know how many of the patients had died. what did you make of the reports that there was alterations made at the end? truly shocking, but i am not surprised that this trust has done this. we knew there had been a long period of factual accuracy that had been concerning, we know it goes beyond that. the changes materially alter the meaning of the report. some of the omissions are really serious things around and unsafe culture, not reporting deaths, and
11:53 am
most worryingly, about the way the report has been skewed to put governance into a better light, to make the leaders look like they are doing a betterjob than they are. what we don't know is who is responsible for making these changes. everything is so opaque at this trust. nobody can ever dig down and work out what is really going on. when it comes to people dying, thatis on. when it comes to people dying, that is significant. what changes would you like to see? we would like to see a statutory public inquiry that looks into how many people have died, why they have died, and what needs to happen to prevent other deaths stop the leadership needs to be called to account. we need to see the interest of the government, we have sent an open letter to the mental health minister and the secretary of state raising these concerns, and they have not even bothered to respond.
11:54 am
when we are talking about deaths that are similar to the deaths in essex, cambridgeshire, all around mental health, we need to see the entire system called to account, because we have got layers of accountability that i just because we have got layers of accountability that ijust not accountable, they are all part of the problem. appreciate your time and your thoughts, thank you very much. thank you very much. in response, the norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust told us it was standard practice to check the factual accuracy of the draught report. they added that they had been open and honest about the failings highlighted. the report authors grant thornton told us the draught report changed after extra information came to light and maintained that it was an independent and robust assessment of what had happened at the trust.

hello again. for the next couple of days, we're looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunny spells and some showers. worth pointing out, though, today, pollen levels across much of england are going to be high. so we're talking weeds at this time of year. now, what we have today is low pressure in charge of our weather. this front wrapped all the way around it is producing some showers, heaviest across the north of scotland, closest to the centre of the low pressure and it's all slowly slipping southwards as we go through the course of today. so our first weather front continuing to slip south, rejuvenating, producing some heavier rain in the afternoon across parts of wales, the midlands, the home counties and east anglia and the weather front across scotland also slipping south. now, in between for northern england, northern ireland, there'll be some sunny spells and fewer showers and in light winds, our temperatures 14 in the north to 21 as we push down towards the south. now through this evening and overnight, ourfirst front continues to head south eastwards before clearing. our second one pushes into northern england, north wales, northern ireland, bringing some showers, but follow the curl round, we're going to see some more showers across the north of scotland. but there will also be a fair bit of clear sky tonight,
11:57 am
so it's going to be a cooler night than last night, particularly so in the countryside. so tomorrow, a ridge of high pressure builds across us, so things are quite quiet in terms of the weather. there will be areas of cloud bubbling up through the day, producing some showers. you might hear the odd rumble of thunder, for example, in the afternoon in east anglia and the odd sharp shower here. temperatures, 15 to about 20 degrees north to south. so just down a degree or so. then into thursday, we've got this area of low pressure with its fronts coming in from the atlantic. now, the northern extent of this is still open to a bit of question, but this is what we think at the moment. so across scotland and eastern england, it will start off dry with some sunny spells, but our fronts coming in from the west will push northwards and eastwards introducing thicker cloud and some rain. the heaviest rain will be across southern england. and you could hear the odd rumble of thunder in southern coastal counties. temperatures 14 to 19 degrees, so, again, slipping just that little bit more. and then as we move on into friday, there'll be low cloud, mist and fog to clear from the south and also the far north of scotland.
11:58 am
in between, there'll be sunshine and showers and temperatures climbing a little bit at the weekend.
