the university of liverpool said it refutes these allegations in the strongest possible terms.re than 50 people have come forward with allegations of bullying, gender and disability discrimination, and dozens of them are men. one man said he was "reduced to a suicidal mess" after being bullied, and signing an nda ended his career. others said whole groups of staff had been gagged for trying to whistle—blow on malpractice. when you speak out, you don't just speak out, you basically destroy your career. emma chapman thinks she has a solution. she refused to sign an nda after claiming she was sexually harassed by a man at university college london. she fought for a confidentiality waiver, meaning she can speak out. but the pain is still there. it disturbs me that he could know my address, and i had nightmares of my house being set on fire, for example. emma took her case to a tribunal, but didn't win. as soon as it was over, she received several of these untraceable voicemails from an unknown caller in the middle of the night. so this goes on... police never found the caller. ucl

we need to know that there are other people out there who have been the university of liverpool said.sused. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... a bus carrying tourists has crashed in portugal — it's reported that 28 people have died, many of them german. back to france. bells in cathedrals across france have been ringing to mark two days since the notre dame fire. bell tolls. the most pressing job at the moment is to make sure the cathedral is safe. fire crews have been putting out hot spots and removing anything that may fall. also today, we've started to hear their first—hand accounts of what happened on monday. we could not predict what could have happened for example why did the whole roof was going to collapse. when he spire collapsed of christ we pulled our man back in as you can see in the media, we used automatic cranes from outside and we saw the roof was gone and could no longer recovery, roof was gone and could no longer recovery , we roof was gone and could no longer recovery, we decided to stay on the bell tower is to make sure they wer

here to bring us up to speed is andrew russell, who's a politics professor at the university of liverpool and such a situation, and then gone? it is very odd, isn't it? the short a nswer is very odd, isn't it? the short answer is parliament has been in recess for a week, so the focus of all the protest around brexit, both for and against, have gone away. all the protest around brexit, both for and against, have gone awaym it your understanding that things have been happening? has stuff been happening? this is one of the dangers of the extension, is that actually it allowed a breathing space, which we don't really have, particularly if things are going to move at such a pace that we get out, that we don't have the european elections. at the same time, politics is normal carries on, political parties are fighting local elections pretty soon, and all they are hearing on the doorstep is brexit, brexit, brexit. it is still the thing that dominates british politics. so on tuesday when they come back, what will have changed? what will i be able to say when i say, this is the reason we are talkin

the university of liverpool said...on what ndas are used for. these women hope breaking their silence will stop them being misused. rianna croxford, bbc news. a study suggests that eating even small amounts of ham, bacon and red meat increases the risk of contracting bowel cancer. the study, led by oxford university, found that those who stuck to the nhs guideline of eating about 70 grams of red or processed meat a day — that's a slice of roast beef and a rasher of bacon — still increased their risk of bowel cancer by a fifth, compared to those who ate very small amounts. emma shields is from cancer research uk, who commissioned the study. so for people who are looking to reduce the risk of cancer then the advice is the less you eat the lower the risk. this doesn't mean that you have to completely give up bacon or go vegetarian if you don't want to, but simple ways that you can cut down on the amount that you are eating can all make a big difference in your risk of bowel cancer. joining me now is lauren wiggins from bow

numberfive, in a missing spf on islands is a cancer risk, a story about research from the university of liverpooln, a lot of people are missing the area around their eyes, maybe they are worried about making their eyes sting, but because the skin is so thin it poses a greater cancer risk if they miss out that area. it says wearing sunglasses can help areas missed by spf. looking at the most watched, number one is a story about the sex attack that changed spain. this relates to a trial last year of five men who called themselves the wolfpack, accused of the gang rape ofa wolfpack, accused of the gang rape of a teenager. they were found guilty of a lesser offence but were acquitted of rape and that prompted acquitted of rape and that prompted a #metoo style reaction in spain. this report is explaining how there seems to have been a backlash against the women and a new political party called box, which has been accused of waging war against women which is gaining ground in the polls —— vox. a very interesting watch, and number one at the moment on the bbc news app. that is it for the morning briefin

new research from the university of liverpool suggests that from as young as seven, obesity goes hando us about this. why are obese children at greater risk of developing mental health problems, especially when it comes to their emotional well—being is mac that wasn't something we investigated in the study, but there are lots of potential reasons for why we might be seeing this association, and what we might see the association becoming stronger as children get older. one of these could be to do with weight —related bullying, so u nfortu nately, with weight —related bullying, so unfortunately, children who are of heavier weight do often experience bullying due to this. as children get older they become more aware of their body image and their weight status. and teasing can result in reduced self—esteem and depressive symptoms. but our research showed it can also work the other way, so being depressed can actually increase the risk of later developing obesity. that could perhaps be because people might be using food as a way of coping with negative emotions. i wonder the extent to whic
