i don't know if it was like denial, but ijust i didn't when when you see your children every day you them as being different — they're just your children and for someone to say there's something wrong with your child, you think, no, they're fine, they're... they're perfect — but obviously there is issues and obviously they need they need extra help. you know it's hard. their eldest daughter, 16—year—old devon needs to be constantly watched over. she suffers from reflex syncope, a condition which can restrict blood supply to the brain. i think i'm a bit slower than other children. i'm slower in, like, writing than others. i get extra time when i do exams because it takes me like a long time to understand what the question means. devon's younger sister, 11—year—old sienna is the sibling most affected by the syndrome, leaving her with mental and physical impairments. it affects me. i get really stressed out. i either startjust making lots of noises, or ijust start screaming, screaming or crying because it is then just too much for me. she has accidents, it's not every single night she h

i was passing by and ijust asked some advice because christmas has been a little bit difficult because got myself into a little bit of debt. our aim today is to try and break the taboo that people have about spending money. we find in all the advice we give face to face with people that once you get it out in the open and start opening the post, that wall just evaporates. out of the 500 £1 coins we've been giving out just how people decided to save and how many chose to spend? 148 would save them but 352 would spend them. it looks like birmingham people like to spend. our experiment today was just a bit of fun but statistics show that we are a nation of spenders. the average household has £14,000 worth of non—mortgage debt. and one in three households in the uk has no savings whatsoever. getting out of debt isn't easy. i should know, i've been there. but a unique project in london could have a solution. i'm in the london borough of newham which has the highest level of problem debt in the country. one in four people here is behind on a bill or a credit commitment. morning, welcome to m

ijust need to check those things. there‘s no question, i‘m not suggesting. yeah, i read it.i'm saying, the point of a benchmark figures and where they are is that i am not saying that liverpool was short of officers. i actually had said earlier that one of the things we had said earlier was putting additional officers into liverpool. the difference of having staff above your benchmark is because we are recruiting staff to deliver the offender management model which were not yet trained but were on the books. and i made the point more generally about staffing. and i accept and i have accepted again, that yes we should have failings of liverpool and dealt with them earlier, and yes there were responsibility for the local level. and the responsibility at the organisation, including at my level. and i'm simply putting the context in play. and what about the issues of rats and cockroaches in the report? i don‘t think that we are tackling them robustly. it‘s a very visible difference in the level of cleanliness in the jail. but we are at a very early part of the journey and i thin

ijust think, you don't understand that this has literally been going on for 20 years.ke i ever believe that the system will make him stop. partly, it is the legal system, but partly it is... we haven't clearly found a way of finding something that is both deterrent and helpful to the perpetrator, in a way that would make them stop. something you just said there is very striking. you don't believe it will ever stop? no. you think you will have to live with us for the rest of life? i don't think about it. my way is to deny it completely. i never want to see photos, i never want to here names, i never want to read about it, i never actually... i never want to talk about it. well, i know, and i know this is the first time you have spoken on a microphone about it, and this is very difficult for you. you want to carry on with your life and not be defined by this. one thing that i would say is that i have been really well sheltered for most of this, in a sense, because, i have worked in an organisation with a lot of pastoral care. there has been an amazing investigations team

in the last four years, she got diagnosed with cancer and she died, so ijust lost it.sing phenomenon. people homeless in their hometown. devastated. to sit there on corners, when people walk past who know you, who you grew up with, and they look down their nose at you. today's figures only apply to england, but scotland too has a problem with rough sleeping, so i'm heading to glasgow now to see their very different approach to the problem. this is the kitchen area. this flat has been bought specifically for a homeless man. the initiative is called housing first. the idea is to give every rough sleeper in glasgow a home and a support worker. if whoever ends up in this flat struggles to cope and goes back to rough sleeping, we will hold this flat for them for a period while we engage with them while they are on the street. given glasgow's needs, the scheme won't be cheap, but evidence from abroad suggests it works and is far less expensive than doing nothing. it must be very dangerous to be a woman on the street. it is, it is, aye. that's true, very true, dear. michael b

at a certain point, ijust wasn't giving anything to the conversation. i wasn't speaking.ed in all the blanks. she was very mad about this thing which was "don't ask, don't tell", which was a law at the time that, as long as no one found out you were gay or lesbian... you could be gay in the military as long as you didn't say you were gay. as long as you kept it quiet, which was basically saying, stay in the closet, who you are and what you are is shameful. it not only hurt the people in the military, but their kids. my mum didn't see it that way. she was angry because it let gay or lesbian people in in any form. these people she had been taught were, you know, next to murderers in terms of sin. these people who were wrong and sick and broken. and she just kept going on and on about it. and i came out because, at a certain point, even though i was literally praying not to, i could feel the warmth of my tears hit my cheeks. and a good southern mum can read those tears. she said she knew when i started to cry — i'll get tearyjust thinking back to that moment, because i didn'

but, then, ijust thought, can't not do anything. i can't... go forward.s just so wrong, i have to do what i can to help with this appeal. so, i phoned them, the helpline number, the number they'd given. and, actually, the lady i spoke to, when i gave my details, she said my details had already been flagged on the system and they were going to be contacting you. you were so sure that your case was one of the cases that would go to court, so what happened? they explained it to me. that they couldn't. .. convict him of every single one. because, obviously, taking 83 victims into court, it would tie it up in court for years. it would confuse the jury. it would just be horrendous to try and do that. what was it like for you, then, during the trial? ijust tried to ignore it as much as possible. it was too painful at the time. hearing what had happened to the other women was very, very hard for me. i did feel, that point, very guilty, because i felt somehow responsible for what they went through. but that's because the police didn't believe you in 2003. yes. i a

ijust took a small bag, pairof matters.s after the medical goes through, you are at least ready for that. —— pair of shin guards. try to keep things simple as much as possible, the exposure to the camera is what caused most of my problems. it is not a crime if a player thinks that something will be done, and if a deal collapses, it is not the end of the world. everybody knows you are trying to do it, and it is not such a big deal. that is it from sportsday, with just four hours left in the english tra nsfer four hours left in the english transfer window. a reminder of our top story, that arsenal have signed pierre—emerick aubameyang for a record £56 million. more throughout the evening on the bbc sport website. much colder air moving cells. but some cold air, some spells of sunshine guaranteed as well, and thatis sunshine guaranteed as well, and that is the case of the next few days. with clear spells overnight, you might catch a view of the super moon. some snow perhaps to low levels, and the greater threat of these shower
