so, when ijoined bbc news it was just radio and television. and now there is the website, there's social, the app, there is continuous news tv, radio continuous news, so there's a lot more of it. is that better or worse? it's better in that i think we are responding to what people want and how they live their lives and how they don't want to just kind of make an appointment to see news or to listen to news, they need it there, instantly so it's better in that respect. is the quality of what we do worse or better? i think the quality of what we do is actually incredibly good. you mentioned quality, but as you've heard, some people think there has been a loss of quality because of the cuts that you've had to make of the past few years. recently the bbc admitted it had been a mistake to interview the lawyer alan dershowitz after ghislaine maxwell's conviction. do you accept that with fewer experienced journalists in the newsroom, mistakes like that are going to happen more? well, mistakes do happen. i'm not going to deny that. but i think in that

she wasn't able to verbally communicate and say, hey, i want to play, can ijoin in with you guys?so they quickly grabbed the ball and got out of the pool because it wasn't a normal way of saying, hey, i want to play. and the look on morgan's face was, dad, i don't understand, ijust wanted to play. and it saddened me because ijust wanted my daughter to be able to play. so where could we go? we couldn't take her to a water park because of certain circumstances of hers, and talking to others, we found the same situation. so how do we develop a place where those who have special needs and those who don't can all come together and play in a fully inclusive environment? and it was those discussions, those chit—chats, those meetings, they turned into what we now have here today at morgan's wonderland. that is so amazing. and since then, people from all over the united states and literally all over the world make special trips to come here. in an environment that is just different than any other environment in the world. right. whoa, alex, look! what do you think? this is amazing. alex re

me, i have had a massive love for sport since i was a little girl and throughout my teenage years, ijoinedhat felt, felt that sense of not belonging in certain areas so for me, a couple of years ago, i felt like that but i thought it is important for me to be resilient and ensure kids my age do not have to face the same experiences as me and they are able to reach their maximum potential. as a south asian girl, cricket has been a massive part of my life, laying in the house every week, my father, my grandad loves it, everyone comes together. it is a positive element in my household however, i think because of the scrutiny that is happening, it has had a knock—on effect on all of us. i want to ensure that there is plenty of south asian players within the england team who are able to reach their maximum potential and as a coach myself i will do everything i can to make sure every single player does not ever have to face the battles that some of these individuals have done. and i will be held accountable and responsible for years to come and because of that, i will make sure 100% i do everyth
