and there would be a register of children not being educated in schools. sir keir said the case was shocking. this isjust this is just an awful case. it's very— this is just an awful case. it's very hard _ this is just an awful case. it's very hard to see and read about for many— very hard to see and read about for many people who will be reviewing this. many people who will be reviewing this~ that's— many people who will be reviewing this. that's where i start on this. obviously. — this. that's where i start on this. obviously, there's going to be questions that need to be answered in relation _ questions that need to be answered in relation to this case. i don't think— in relation to this case. i don't think that _ in relation to this case. i don't think that we should allow ourselves to think— think that we should allow ourselves to think whatever the rules, that's -ot to think whatever the rules, that's got anything to do with this case. it's got anything to do with this case. it's attout— got anything to do with this case. it's about violence, it's about abuse. — it's about violence, it's about abuse. its— it's about violence, it's about abuse, it's about making sure this protection — abuse, it's about making sure this protection is for children, particularly those being home—schooled. that's what i think the questions are, but my response first and _ the questions are, but my response first and foremost is a human response _ first and foremost is a human response. it'sjust the most first and foremost is a human response. it's just the most awful case _ response. it's just the most awful case that— response. it's just the most awful case that many viewers will find very. _ case that many viewers will find very. very — case that many viewers will find very, very hard to hear.

lord lameing is the former chief inspector of the social services and chair of the victoria climbie inquiry — another—high profile child death, after a string of failings. i asked him when he hears never again what he thinks. well, i would like it to be never again, but sadly, our record has left a great deal to be desired and many children have suffered in that time. let me to see if i may, matthew, most human beings find it difficult to understand and accept that an adult — particularly one with caring responsibilities — can set out deliberately to harm a defenseless child. and because of that, the front line staff are vulnerable to being misled by the people who have caused injury to

children because they will become very scared and make excuses and give a false explanation. all too often, that false explanation can be taken. that is why two things are absolute essential. first of all, that no one service can protect children at risk like this. the success has been teamwork within the different services working together, sharing information. secondly, because this is very challenging work and emotionally draining, it's very important that front line staff are well supported by their managers. are well supported by their managers— are well supported by their manauers. ., , , , managers. the trouble is everything ou 'ust managers. the trouble is everything you just said — managers. the trouble is everything you just said we _ managers. the trouble is everything you just said we know _ managers. the trouble is everything you just said we know from - managers. the trouble is everything you just said we know from previous horrific cases. we know how these type of parents mislead, lie and

abuse. we know that the various strands should be working together. what actually needs to change, what do you think those questions should be keir starmer �*s talks about? perhaps the saddest thing of all, matthew, actually, we know how to do good child protection work, and it takes place in various places. what we've got to ensure is that good child protection work takes place everywhere for every child. because the ingredients of child protection is about building a picture of all the child, about making sure we actually see this child —— a picture of the life of the child, and making sure that there is free exchange of information between the different services. when i chaired victoria

columbia, one thing that was so dispiriting was the number of times staff from the front line services — be they nurses, doctors, social workers, police officers — the number of times who said, "if only i'd known that, i would have acted differently". the fact is that it was known but it wasn't communicated, and in recent years, i fear that because of cutbacks in real terms in each of the key services, the services have rather withdrawn back from where they used to be. so, now they tend only to operate when a crisis occurs, and that i'm afraid it's too late to protect some children. really quick answer on this _ protect some children. really quick answer on this question _ protect some children. really quick answer on this question - - protect some children. really quick answer on this question - do - protect some children. really quick answer on this question - do we . protect some children. really quick i answer on this question - do we need answer on this question — do we need changes of the law? you have one team with all the various key workers involved, and also do we

i mean, matthew, i've been covering this for ten years as a health reporter, speaking to many of the victims. the campaigners and the families have been campaigning forjustice for compensation in this case. in some cases, 30, 40, 50 years. there have been a series of interim payments of up to about £300,000 each for some victims. but this would be this week, the first final compensation payment that goes out to victims. so it is quite an important moment. and we think it's about ten victims that have been offered around £13 million in total, and then another 25 victims that are being offered some form of extra compensation or final compensation, which is going to be discussed kind of going into christmas. so like i say, a really important moment and the amount of the sums involved here are quite staggering. so, in total, rachel reeves, the chancellor, said in the budget that £ii.8 £7.8 billion has been set aside to compensate tens

of thousands of victims in this scandal. you touched on it in the early part of that answer. it is arched across so many years, so much delay, even on the compensation after it was decided that there should be compensation. so, when does this government think that all of the payouts or the majority of the payouts will be completed? well, i think this is one of the issues, because we're only talking about essentially a handful of cases here. so, ten people to begin with, another 25. but we could be talking about, i mean, certainly thousands if not tens of thousands of victims, because it's not just people who are infected that would qualify here. it's also their relatives, sons and daughters of people's people that have lost fathers, and also the parents of people that very tragically lost their children to this scandal can also qualify for compensation by themselves. so it looks like this is going to take quite some time until all of those people can qualify. and just this week, actually, the chair of the public inquiry wrote to the government saying that he wanted to acknowledge or raise concerns about it, as he put it, a groundswell of discontent about how long this process was taking, which is probably one reason

you're seeing this, this announcement today. new data shows that the number of under—50s being diagnosed with bowel cancer is increasing worldwide. england is among the countries with the biggest rise — averaging a 3.6% increase in cases among that age group each year. let's speak to dr anisha patel — who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2018 when she was 39. you must have been stunned. i was, our lives were _ you must have been stunned. i was, our lives were turned _ you must have been stunned. i was, our lives were turned upside - you must have been stunned. i was, our lives were turned upside down i you must have been stunned. i was, our lives were turned upside down in my husband is ironically a bowel cancer specialist. my husband is ironically a bowel cancerspecialist. i my husband is ironically a bowel cancer specialist. i was diagnosed with stage iii rectal cancer and i underwent two major surgeries, a stoma and three months of chemotherapy afterwards. in stoma and three months of chemotherapy afterwards. in terms of s m toms, chemotherapy afterwards. in terms of symptoms. your _ chemotherapy afterwards. in terms of symptoms, your mentioned _ chemotherapy afterwards. in terms of symptoms, your mentioned your - symptoms, your mentioned your

worthwhile for them, but they will have to start thinking about it once it's rolled out from everyone, whether this is something worthwhile for example going to 45, such as they do in america.— for example going to 45, such as they do in america. thank you so much for taking _ they do in america. thank you so much for taking time _ they do in america. thank you so much for taking time to - they do in america. thank you so much for taking time to speak. they do in america. thank you so much for taking time to speak to | they do in america. thank you so i much for taking time to speak to us. thank you. a body has been found in the search forformer england rugby international tom voyce, who went missing in an area flooded during storm darragh. police feared the 43—year—old had died after trying to cross a road in northumberland in a vehicle which was then swept away by the current. a search had been ongoing since sunday, but police only discovered a body earlier today. formal identification hasn't yet taken place, but tom voyce's next of kin have been notified. there will be mandatory housing targets so that the government can achieve it
