my mum told me to run, but i thought they were behind me, so i ran out.tried to run back in because i was worried. i shouted for my mum but i couldn't hear anything. my ear is all blocked. it was really scary. all i could hear was screaming, people crying. everyone was running everywhere. it was complete madness. it was like out of a film, everybody cramming through. everybody was screaming. people had cuts all over their legs. the injured were taken to eight hospitals across greater manchester. some families and friends were split up in the rush to get emergency treatment. armed police units patrolled the streets by the arena. before the night was over, the police knew they were dealing with an attack by a suicide bomber with a home—made explosive device packed with metalfragments. during the night, specialist teams were brought in in case there were other explosive devices. it was a deliberate attack on children and young people, timed just at the moment when parents were waiting to pick up their sons and daughters. 400 police officers were deployed, al

so then my mum and i — my biological mum and i — had to move in with my uncle.hing to do with me, and so when she passed away, because she ended up starving to death, or had a disease, he didn't see any point in wasting his money or his food on a child who doesn't deserve it, in his mind, so he sent me to the orphanage and never came to see if i was ok, or anything. and then also, in the orphanage, thinking, ok, i'm surrounded by people who might care about me, they ranked us by favourites. number one was the favourite child, number 27 was the least—favourite child. and because of my vitiligo, i was number 27, the least—favourite child. and so that meant i got the smallest portion of food and the last choice of clothes. and you would have thought, you know, these kids have been through so much — they've lost their parents or their parents weren't able to take care of them — that maybe we will show them that they are loved and that people care about them. and unfortunately, that wasn't the case for me at all. but i did have somebody in the orphanage who did care

she was crying for her mum.d i was holding the little girl up and telling them help is coming. the ambulance is coming and just be brave. you're being really brave. and my husband was running backwards and forwards. i went back into see if our daughter and granddaughter were there. it was the time we were due to meet them. i went back into check if they were amongst the injured. sol went back into check if they were amongst the injured. so i checked every single person there, to see if it was our daughter, grand daughter. and thankfully for us, it wasn't. they weren't there. as my wife said, we thought the blast was in the arena. and we had caught the outskirts of it. but i went through the security doors where they check tickets, and that is when i saw there was no debris, and ash, and things through there. there was only what i believe to be the remains of the suicide bomber through there. all the destruction was out in the foyer. i had not seen my daughter or granddaughter amongst the injured. and i came back

mum can't eat anymore. >> kate's mum janet has been diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. honestly at this point they're running out of options. >> the only way we can do this is with aggressive chemo here. >> the way they're trying to do that is through immunotherapy. it isn't covered under the nhs. we have universal health care. if you break a leg or cancer, it's treated for free. but immunotherapy may not be covered because it hasn't passed criteria. which brings us to the inevitable issue. >> we're going to run out of money soon. >> essentially somebody going onto the internet to appeal for somebody's life. >> don't give up on her. and if you can donate. if you can't donate, then please just share. >> so have people responded to her plea at all? >> well, people are responding. they're looking for about $200,000 u.s. in order to complete the treatment. they're up to only about $30,000 so far. they've got a long way to go. her grandmother died as well of the same thing. kate found out she was pregnant and for this to happen, it's like the one-two-three punch. they posted

the bank of mum and dad. housing ladder and there are new stats from legal and general. they are saying the scale of lending helps fund 26% of all uk property transactions, which actually puts it on par with the yorkshire building society, so if it were a bank, it would make it the ninth biggest residential lender in the uk. and it isa residential lender in the uk. and it is a whacking amount of money, £6.5 billion has been handed out to children to help them buy a house, it has gone up 30% in the last year. the most mum and dad ‘s land interest—free ? the most mum and dad ‘s land interest—free? that is a good question, they shouldn't, but... there is a difference, isn't that? pay it back over 50 years. it is interesting how much they have to help people get into the bottom rung of the latter, it is so expensive to buy your first house. and that sort of cash makes a difference. those in charge of athletics suggest old world and european records before 2005 should be wiped clean because they have been keeping

for the first time ever, he cannot expect to be better off than his mum and dad. annual pay increases have gone down while the cost of living has gone up. in other words, he has less money coming in and more going out. the typical annual real pay increase for employees has fallen from a healthy 4% when betty was in her 20s to close to zero today for matt. perhaps this explains why a quarter of adults still needed help from the bank of mum and dad by the age of 35. let's now talk about inequalities at work and concerns people have aboutjobs and being worse off than the generation before. do you worry about being worse off than your parents or grandparents? i do in a way. i do feel worse off because i feel i think labour have caused us to be in dire straits with the economy because of the spending they did in their previous government. it has left us with a poorer future. who is worried about that here? lots of people worried about debt. what are your concerns about debt and not actually being able to save? i graduate this year, i will be £27,000 in debt. i'm going

when she was aggressive towards me, my instinct was, as a mum, ijust wanted to grab her and hold herait. and she got so big and strong that i couldn't do that. in early 2016, for her own safety, sofija had to leave home and go to a secure unit at the renowned kennedy krieger institute for brain disorders. it often took three highly trained care staff, using special techniques, to prevent sofija injuring herself and others. we've tried years of behavioural therapy, years of medication and we have proven time and time again that, for sofija, these don't really work. so, you know, like every other mum dealing with any problem with their kids, i went to google and said — right, dr google, autism self injury treatment. and i started finding some articles on ect. kaci came across author and campaigner amy lutz, whose own violently autistic son jonah has had ect forfive years. 14 is always blue, 13's always green. well, ect has been transformative forjonah's life and our life. we went for a period of time, for years and years, wherejonah was raging often multiple times a day. ferociously. a

i was in the corridor with her mum and dad andl in the corridor with her mum and dad and i said, howe is not all right? he was placed on a life support machine but days later, sarah and adam were advised to withdraw treatment. it's not a conversation you think you are ever going to have. discussing how you are going to end your son's life. the couple decided to take legal action. a coroner's report found there were four opportunities to save the baby's life. to see so many people make so many different m ista kes many people make so many different mistakes within six hours is just shocking. people who you put your trust in... your life is in their hands and gino's life was in their hands. we have to look at the fact that we are a victim of the nhs. so many babies have lost their lives and families have been destroyed because they are not doing theirjob right. sarah and adam got compensation from the trust. an investigation by this programme has found that at least 1000 mistakes are occurring in england's maternity units each week. we also found that 260 mothers or babies died overfou

and me mum, lived and died here, she loved it, she did.ruggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt and they built us a city, they built us these towns and they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound to the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves, they were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves. and they left us a spirit. they left us a vibe. that mancunian way to survive and to thrive and to work and to build, to connect, and create and greater manchester's greatness is keeping it great. and so this is the place now with kids of our own. some are born here, some drawn here, but they all call it home. and they've covered the cobbles, but they'll never defeat, all the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets. because this is a place that has been through some hard times: oppressions, recessions, depressions, and dark times. but we keep fighting back with greater manchester spirit. northern grit, northern wit, and greater manchester's lyrics. and these hard times again, in these streets of our city,

then again, i must be mum because how would i do without sugar and rum? very important that we look at those moral issues as we go through that exhibition. i have to point out we do not start this exhibition with the story of slavery. we start with the story of humanity and we start in africa looking at it as a continent made up of many people, places, intellects. let's look at some of the other objects in the exhibition. as we discussed, we just came through the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade, looking at the making of the atlantic world and a global economy. the driver of trade was sugar and that moved forward the effort to ship as many human beings across the atlantic ocean forced into slavery. now we come to the story of the middle passage. the middle passage being the space transporting africans from the west coast of africa throughout the americas across the atlantic ocean. we are fortunate to features and really dynamic objects in this artifactscluding found off the coast of south africa. it is from a slave ship found off the coast of so

i'm fraser's mum and carer. stop it! this is his "i want attention" pose.caused at birth. and it basically means it affects all his limbs so he can't do anything independently. fraser started college back in september and moira employes two full—time carers to help with his physical and educational needs. roger is one of them. he needs one—to—one assistance. and he has always had it at school, so in higher education we expected that. but there was a problem. cuts to funding for disabled students made in 2014 by the conservative—liberal democrat coalition mean the money forfull—time support in college is no longer there in the majority of cases. he loves college. it's a foundation degree in sports coaching. his aim is to be the first disabled premier league coach in the uk, which is fabulous. and we shouldn't he be? and why shouldn't he be allowed to access that via education? moira, why is this an election issue for you? in this day and age, we are stopping — possibly stopping — children from going to further education. there is billions and billions of pou
