There are warnings of a second aleppo. Reports that 250 people have died following two days of attacks. According to activists it is the worst violence since 2013. Our middle east editor reports. This could be the beginning of the end of the rebellion. Smaller, rebel held enclaves around damascus have been starved and bombed into submission. Activists in Eastern Ghouta say this is as bad as it has been. We can hear women and children crying through windows of their homes. The missiles and mortars dropping on us like rain. There is nowhere to hide from this nightmare in easter ghouta. They have set up a network of underground hospitals. This girl, named in arabic angel, escaped the worst but will have to go back to the streets to get home. And this is her area. With the regime plane dropping what appears to be a barrel bomb. Unguided, an indiscriminate killer. The Syrian Regime denies attacking civilians. It says it is trying to liberate Eastern Ghouta from terrorists. How many times in the last seven years have syrians dug through the rubble for survivors . There is talk of safe corridors out for civilians but, based on past form, the regime wants victory in Eastern Ghouta and the surrender of the rebels. Lets talk to our bbc arabic reporter, who is here. Presumably the authorities and aid agencies are expecting the civilian casualties to continue to rise. Yes. It is practically enclaves and pockets of high density, civilian population. It seems like the ones launching this attack has not taken into consideration any thing to basically minimise at least the number of civilian casualties. We know the gunman, they are basically civilians and live among civilians. It is not and live among civilians. It is not a way to do this was of your risking the lives of hundreds and thousands of people. That is why we believe the number will be huge if the russians attempt a similar scenario in ghouta as we saw in aleppo over a year ago full it is completely out of proportion, the firepower the russians are exerting on those pockets and enclaves. It is amazing and horrible. As if you are watching and horrible. As if you are watching a movie on the back of the soundtrack. You hear people in panic, screaming for help. There is no help.

The Supreme Court is due to rule on whether the metropolitan police failed two victims of the black cab rapist, john worboys. The women claim that the failure to properly investigate their allegations amounted to inhuman and degrading treatment a claim the police deny. Heres our legal correspondent, clive coleman. The two women were sexually assaulted byjohn worboys in 2003 and 2007, but when they reported the attacks to the police they werent believed. As a result of the Police Failures, worboys was able to continue to attack women until he was brought tojustice in 2009. The high court and court of appeal ruled the police had a duty under the human rights act to investigate Serious Violence against women and could be held accountable in the courts if they failed in that duty. The women, who both suffered psychologically, were awarded £41,000 in total, which theyll keep in any event. But the met supported the then home secretary theresa mays appeal to the Supreme Court, arguing its duty was fulfilled simply by having practices and procedures to investigate in place. A victory for the women would be Police Forces could face human rights actions whenever they fail to properly investigate serious violent crime.

Despite having just 27 possession on the night chelsea boss Antonio Conte said it was almost the Perfect Performance and that theyll try to do something incredible by knocking out the spanish giants in a few weeks at the nou camp. When two women were raped by the same man four years apart, the police didnt believe either of their stories. That man wasjohn worboys, the black cab rapist, who was later convicted on 19 charges, including rape and Sexual Assault. Police now believe he may have attacked over 100 people. This morning, the Supreme Court will rule on whether the metropolitan police is liable to those two victims because it failed to properly investigate their allegations. The two women were assaulted by worboys in 2003 and 2007. As a result of the Police Failures, worboys was able to continue to attack women until he was brought tojustice in 2009. Two courts have already ruled in theirfavour, but the metropolitan police, backed by the home 0ffice, have appealed. A victory for the women today would mean Police Forces could face human rights actions whenever they fail to properly investigate serious violent crime. In a moment, well speak exclusively to one of those women and her solicitor the conversation as youd expect is graphic and frank in places, and you nay not want Young Children to watch. Children to watch or listen. But first heres a look at why todays ruling is important there are some flashing images coming up. He is one of britains worst serial sex attacker is. He has been found guilty of 19 offences against 12 women. guilty of 19 offences against 12 women. Attackers. But police say the number of women he attacked me run into the hundreds. His name is john worboys. He would drive around london in his black late at night aching up winning. He would tell them lies about winning the lottery so that he had a reason to offer champagne. Picking up women. He would then drug and sexually assault them. 0ccurs of the sedatives he used, many of the victims would have had no recollection of what happened. He was caught and jailed in 2009 but a parole board decided he could be eligible for release last month. It caused outrage, with many victims finding about his impending release in the press. The growing criticism of the parole boards decision to release serial sex attackerjohn worboys. Boards decision to release serial sex attacker john worboys. L boards decision to release serial sex attackerjohn worboys. A few yea rs sex attackerjohn worboys. A few years previously two victims ofjohn worboys won a case against the metropolitan police about the way they investigated the case. The two women said that when they reported the case to the police in 2003 and 2007, officers did not believe them and so did not investigate properly. The metropolitan police had several opportunities to apprehend and stop him and didnt. In one case he was so him and didnt. In one case he was so confident of getting away with his crimes that he actually drove his crimes that he actually drove his victim to the Police Station and dropped her off there. Officers took neither his name nor his rigid racial details. The two women brought their case against the police. A court of appeal upheld the verdict but the met has taken the case to the Supreme Court. The result will be important in deciding weather the police can be held to account for breaching victims rights. And we can exclusively speak to one of those women you just heard about, who was driven to a Police Station byjohn worboys after hed attacked her. We are going to call her fiona this morning not her real name and shesjoined by her solicitor harriet wistritch. Thank you for talking to us. How did you come into contact with worboys . In 2003i you come into contact with worboys . In 20031 was out with some friends are celebrating a friends birthday party. After the night out, i was with some groups of friends who hailed a cab for me. I got into the. In to the cab. There was nothing which made me feel uncomfortable or threatened by his manner, he was just a chatty, talking about the night out, asking where i lived, did i live on my own, asking about my family. I was expecting to him it was my friends birthday party. And i had just had a baby so that was the first night out since having the baby, who was with my partner that night. And then he offered me a drink. What kind of a drink . Well, it was just. It was just a really. I remoaner taking a sip out of it, it was a really strong orange liqueur, it wasnt very nice at all. I didnt particularly want it because at that point of the night i was going home because i had to be up early in the morning and i really didnt want to drink any more, i had stopped drinking some time before. And we went over a speed bump and i did spill practically all the drink over myself, apologised but he pulled me another one. And i really cant explain why i drank the drink but i think it wasjust explain why i drank the drink but i think it was just one of those situations where you just feel, just print it. Its just a situations where you just feel, just print it. Itsjust a drink, it will be fine, he can take me home. Just drink it. And then there was some conversation about him is stopping for a cigarette or something. And did i want to have a cigarette . I might even have asked him, is it ok ifi cigarette . I might even have asked him, is it ok if i smoked ham and because i think in 2003 we did smoke in. And he pulled over and i remember him getting into the back of the cab with me. And i remember him putting his. Ithink he of the cab with me. And i remember him putting his. I think he went to put his arm around me and ijust remember, before i blacked out, just saying he was nice. Which are sort of creep me out a little bit because ijust wondered if i had somehow encouraged him by saying that. I think i wasjust meaning, youre a nice guy because youve just given mea nice guy because youve just given me a cigarette or something. It wasnt intended to be anything other than that. And the next memory i haveis than that. And the next memory i have is waking up in hospital. Thats when you woke up and thought, what on earth happened . Yeah. I woke up what on earth happened . Yeah. I woke up andi what on earth happened . Yeah. I woke up and i was very confused, very disorientated and i had a drip in my almond i pulled the drip out and went to the toilet. I think i was having a bit of a meltdown. Looking back on it it was a bit embarrassing because i think i was running around shouting at the nurses, i dont know where i am, where am i . They didnt realise what i meant and they kept saying, youre in hospital. I was like i know i am in hospital but where . I didnt know which hospital i was where . I didnt know which hospital iwas in where . I didnt know which hospital i was in and i was really upset because i should have been home looking after my baby. Did you know youd been raped . As soon as i sat on the toilet i knew i had been raped. I was a little bit sore and. And when i went to the toilet the tampon that i was wearing fell out, and i knew instantly because of the way i was. The nurse was trying to calm me down and i kept saying, i need. I need to speak to the police, ive been raped. And i do remember one of the nurses saying, its fine, come and sit down, the police are on their way. I dont know to this day where she got this from, how she knew. But what you learned subsequently was that actually worboys had driven you to a Police Nation after he had raped you. Yes. And when you arrived at the Police Station, according to to what has been heard in court previously, you were incapacitated, you were disorientated, you were vomiting. How did the police treat you . Well, they assumed that i was just some drunk that night. And did they take his details . Well, this is the thing, i was given three different stories of what happened that night by the police. And that was all within the space of a couple of hours. First of all i was told they had his details, because when they had his details, because when the police came to the hospital, i told them what had happened to me. And i think they told me that he taken me to the Police Station. And isaid, taken me to the Police Station. And i said, well, taken me to the Police Station. And isaid, well, did taken me to the Police Station. And i said, well, did you get his details . They went, yes, of course, weve got his details, and i was relieved. Because i knew it was him. And they assured me they had all of his details, his name, cab number, everything. And then a little bit later, i was told that he had given false details, so i was. Well, that proves that he had something to hide, then. And then quite quickly after that it turned out that they had no details for him, nobody had bothered to ask, because hit told them that i was in that state when he had picked me up. Although i was told afterwards by the other person that had encouraged. That he was arguing with worboys in front of the police, saying, that lady isntjust drunk, its clear shes notjust drunk, its clear shes notjust drunk, and a black cab driver does not pick up fares in that state. What do you think of the fact that after he attacked you in the back of his cab, he then had the arrogance, audacity, to take you to a Police Station . I dont think that was ever his choice of. I think that was because he took me to the wrong address, and the involvement of that other person. I think howard. I do believe that had that other person not been in the property, i would have been dumped near the property in the alleyway at the back, because i dont think he ever would have taken me to the Police Station. Had the Police Taking his details, they might have realised. The way the police handled your complaint, youve already said they treated you asa drunk youve already said they treated you as a drunk that night after that . Well, i thought, as a drunk that night after that . Well, ithought, when as a drunk that night after that . Well, i thought, when i was taken to telford, it seemed to be ticking all the right boxes and i felt that things were being dealt with as they should be. Ilford. But when i came home from two big that afternoon, after being examined, which is actually quite a stressful situation, it is not a nice thing to have to happen to you, to be dropped off and left with a baby while they ta ke off and left with a baby while they take your partner into the Police Station for, just to give a statement, and hes gone for two hours and youre left, still disorientated, still under the influence of whatever drugs hes given, extremely upset, and emotional, to look after a baby on your own, i emotional, to look after a baby on yourown, idid emotional, to look after a baby on your own, i did feel that was very inappropriate. Ifelt your own, i did feel that was very inappropriate. I felt i should have had a little bit of of support there or the option of calling a friend or somebody to be with me, because i just remember phoning their partner co nsta ntly just remember phoning their partner constantly to say, how long are you going to be . Because the baby is crying. And at that point i felt i could not pick him up and comfort him, because ijust felt i was not capable of doing that because i was very upset and i didnt want to be around him while i was that upset. Ultimately the police did not believe you had been attacked . No. You gave evidence on video, and one of the things which was said was that you werent a credible witness they didnt believe you . That you werent a credible witness they didnt believe you . Yep. I was told two days later, when i was picked up, because i think you have to do the Video Evidence within 48 hours, and they picked me up from my partner schiele is flat, and as we we re partner schiele is flat, and as we were driving down to the Police Station, i was told by the officers in the police car that this was really important book that it was as factual as possible, and to try and women are as much as i factual as possible, and to try and women are as much as i could. It would be shown in court if it went to prosecution. Therefore, emotions just confuse everybody, youve got to be as concise as you possibly can. So, the way ive always spoken about what happened that night is the way i am talking to you i detach myself, because otherwise i do get upset. So, im talking about it as if its a story that happened to somebody else. And they were very clear in the police car that thats what they needed, so i thought, 0k, ill try my best here, put a brave face on it, so i went in and told them all the facts that i could remember, and tried to keep it together. And then halfway through the interview, the officer left the room, his colleagues were in the room, his colleagues were in the room next doorfilming. He room, his colleagues were in the room next door filming. He was gone for a few minutes and he came back and sat down and he said, to be honest, ive interviewed quite a few raped victims and youre not believable. He said, most victims would be crying, shouting, screaming, even throwing things around, and youre sitting there as calm as anything. He said, youre not coming across as believable. What impact did that have on you then and over the subsequent years . Well, identity to explain to him what had happened on the way there, even though in the next room where the people that told me this. And they were watching via the cameras. I explained what had happened, but he said, no, theyre not supposed to coach people, so he didnt believe me. And that had an impact on you over the years after that . Oh, absolutely. I felt then, over the years after that . Oh, absolutely. Ifelt then, thats over the years after that . Oh, absolutely. I felt then, thats when i really felt that the investigation was going downhill. Because then after that, i spoke to another officer, and they said that, i have noticed over the 48 hours since the attack, i had a lot of bruising come out, and could we have them photographed for evidence, because it was clear that they were handgrips on the . And to me it looked like somebody had been holding me down or something because they were on my arms and legs. And i was told, thats fine, somebody will be in touch. And i think there must be in touch. And i think there must be something inside me that made me realise, this is really important, because theyre not going to do it. So the next day i actually went and saw my gp and had it recorded, the bruising. In 2008 granollers a call for witnesses and victims ofjohn worboys which is when you went forward again. There was a call. Ididnt want forward again. There was a call. I didnt want to go forward, to start with, if i am honest. When i had a call from my friends who was with me that night, he saw it on the news and said, i think that is him. Idid the news and said, i think that is him. I did the late because i thought i cant go through that i cant go through another five years of not being believed, being told he made it up, being told a black cab driver just would not do that, being told that you could not possibly have been raped because you are wearing a tampon. It was absolutely horrendous. For five tampon. It was absolutely horrendous. Forfive years i tampon. It was absolutely horrendous. For five years i was doubting my own sanity. Had i imagined it . Had i made it up . I couldnt confide in many people about what had happened because it was so difficult to say to somebody this is what happened but nobody believes me. And to go through all of that again, it did take me a little while. When i was seeing the numbers going up and up and up, i a lwa ys numbers going up and up and up, i always said to the police when they closed the file he would reoffend, he would definitely reoffend because i refuse to pick up my clothes. They said he would definitely reoffend andi said he would definitely reoffend and i would need them as evidence. Seeing the numbers going up in terms of women coming forward, literally over days, it was horrendous. I never realised he was going to reoffend that many times and i had to go forward, i had to do everything i could. Your action today that is being heard in the Supreme Court, is all about whether the police failed to conduct an effective investigation. Im going to bring in your solicitor, if i may. The met, then backed by the then home secretary to reason me are fighting this ruling. What are the implications if you do win today . we win, it will establish in law that the police do have a duty to undertake effective investigations into crimes that meet the threshold of article three, which is inhumane and degrading treatment, of which rape would qualify. It would be an historicjudgment if rape would qualify. It would be an historic judgment if it rape would qualify. It would be an historicjudgment if it goes in that way because, so far, the courts have been tested a number of times about whether police are liable under the common law of negligence. The courts have consistently said he cannot bring negligence claims against the police for failed investigations. What we have argued is, under the human rights act, the state has a duty to ensure its citizens are not subject to inhumane and degrading treatment. We have argued that that duty extends to having an effective, not just effective laws, duty extends to having an effective, notjust effective laws, but actually operation of those laws. That is essentially what the argument is and what were waiting to hear, what the court will decide. So it would be, if it goes the right way, it would be very good for rape victims and other victims of serious crime generally. And it would open the doors to potentially sue other forces for failing to carry out an investigation . Potentially. They are not saying every single case would lead to a civil claim. They have been careful to say it has been really serious failures. As we heard in this case, it is notjust what happened to fiona, it is what happened to fiona, it is what happened to fiona, it is what happened to my other clients. We know that ten women reported worboys to the police before eventually they made the connection. 0nce to the police before eventually they made the connection. Once the media appeal went out, 105 cases were linked. And so, very many women dont even report. Of course, where drugs are used, women arent even sure what has happened to them. So, this is so important because we have to, we have to get confidence from women to report. I dont know why the home secretary took the decision to side with the police when she made statements about the importance of violence against women and initiatives. The Police Argument is, if the ruling goes your way if you win you are effectively imposing an investigative duty on the police was that they are saying we have procedures in place and practices in place and that is enough. That is precisely the point. What is so startling when reid took this case to trial originally, that is right. They did have procedures and guidelines in place. There was a whole set of guidelines about how you assess drug assisted rape and they did not follow them. An inspector in court said that my council said but what do you think this guideline is here for question he said, i dont know. Is it to protect us from litigation or something . If that is the attitude you cannot just have something . If that is the attitude you cannotjust have laws and guidelines if they are not enforced properly. Let me bring the owner back in. There is a separate, judicial review which you are also bringing. Fiona. That is about the release of john bringing. Fiona. That is about the release ofjohn worboys and the decision made by the independent pa role decision made by the independent parole board to release him after eight years. You want that stopped, reversed will stop it meant you faced john worboys in court a few weeks ago. Tell us about that. I was already warned he could possibly have been there on video link. I was sort of prepared for him there. But when, obviously, iwas sort of prepared for him there. But when, obviously, i was told sort of prepared for him there. But when, obviously, iwas told he sort of prepared for him there. But when, obviously, i was told he would be there in person, it was a bit difficult walking through the doors and getting to court. I think i was and getting to court. I think i was a little bit late. I made it because i felt it was really important to show worboys himself i was not scared anymore because i do believe that rape is not about sex, it is about control and power. I want to ta ke about control and power. I want to take back control and power back from him by showing him i was no longer afraid of him. What did you think when you saw him . When i saw himl think when you saw him . When i saw him i was expecting a big, scary monster to come through the doors. Over this amount of time, 15 years, you build it up in your head of what he will be like. When he first walked through the doors i wasjust struck by, oh my god, hes pathetic. A pathetic old man. He was all hunched over and reading his hands we re hunched over and reading his hands were talking were talking. Talking just above a whisper. A couple of times he looked at me and i saw his eyes. Do you know what . He has not changed one bit. Every woman that got ina changed one bit. Every woman that got in a cab reported the reason they accepted that drink was because they felt sorry for him. It was pathetic. It was an act. I do believe going to court was an act. I saw his eyes. He is still capable of what he was doing ten years ago. Absolutely still capable. I will keep fighting. I will do whatever it takes to keep him behind bars for debate is the only way will be protected from him, if he is behind bars. No licensing conditions can watch in 24 seven. You are adamant he is still a danger . As far as im concerned, he is a danger. I am he is still a danger . As far as im concerned, he is a danger. Lam not concerned, he is a danger. Lam not concerned about what you can do to me because is nothing more he can do to me that i dont want to go back to me that i dont want to go back to 2003 and be watching the news again, waiting for him to reoffend. I know he will reoffend and i dont wa nt i know he will reoffend and i dont want to be in a position where i said, iwas want to be in a position where i said, i was right, want to be in a position where i said, iwas right, i want to be in a position where i said, i was right, i told you he would do this again. He will. He will absolutely do this again and we need to protect women from him. That was fiona whose case is at the Supreme Court today and her solicitor harriet wistritch. We are expecting that ruling very soon. Andy says. That says. Bev. And from sheena. This from ian. These women have already been paid compensation, £40,000. This is the news to do with unemployment will do it increased by 46,000 toi. 47 unemployment will do it increased by 46,000 to 1. 47 million according to the office for national statistics. The unexpected rise from a record low was accompanied by an improvement in pay rises which averaged 2. 5 , excluding bonuses. Next this morning. How hundreds of britains homeless are being trapped into modern slavery. An investigation by Buzzfeed News has found that hundreds of hundreds of Homeless People have been captured over the past three years approached at soup kitchens and while sleeping rough, and lured into slavery with the promise of drugs and alcohol. Some have been found locked in caravans, without heating, bedding, or running water; others chained up, or locked outside. Jane bradley is Buzzfeed News investigations correspondent, who has uncovered this story. Jane, what did you learn about how Homeless People are being enslaved . We often hear the term hidden in plain sight. In this case it really was. We found evidence that traffickers were targeting Homeless People are sick kitchens, shelters, and rough sleeping hotspots all over the uk. This was often incredibly brazen, in broad daylight. What is really shocking is just how calculated and organised the recruitment is. These are notjust opportunistic pick ups. This is the deliberate targeting people who are desperate, vulnerable, and often have some kind of Addiction Mental Health issues that traffickers are ultimately preying on. Turning up at soup kitchens with the promise of cash or a bed. Sometimes even drugs or alcohol. Whatever that vulnerability is that these traffickers are playing on, some shelters even reported gang masters posing as volunteers or rough sleepers themselves in order to infiltrate the plays and recruit more homeless workers. That is what we are talking about here. You spent time doing secret filming on groups of Homeless People and potential traffickers. Tell us about that. We wa nted traffickers. Tell us about that. We wanted to find evidence for this ourselves and we spent weeks carrying out surveillance and secretly filming brands and cars as they picked up homeless and destitute workers on a Street Corner in bradford and took them to local worksites. Every day, around 7am, up to 15 men would be standing on these corners waiting for work. 0ften four hours in the freezing corners waiting for work. 0ften four hours ir rain freezing corners waiting for work. 0ften four hours ir rain free it1g corners waiting for work. 0ften four hours ir rain free it really was like pouring rain and it really was like watching a red light district. A car or van would pull up, the window would go down and i homeless worker, a destitute worker with leaning, sometimes negotiate, get into the car, and drive off. We followed some of these workers to construction sites, a charity clothing bank, and even a law firm in bradford. We found evidence of exploitation. 0ne gang master admitted to paying less than the minimum wage. Another said he did employ a homeless worker for cash in hand labour but he paid him fairly. A third guy simply said, no one is making them stand there. When the victims are recruited, how are they treated . I spoke to six victims for this investigation full debate all painted a picture of backbreaking 12 hour shifts in factories, hotels, construction sites all over the uk. This would often be working seven days a week for as little as £20 at the end of it. Sometimes nothing at all. They would be kept in the filthy, rat infested caravans, offer with no hot water, no running water, no electricity, no heating. 0r water, no running water, no electricity, no heating. Or it might bea electricity, no heating. Or it might be a terraced house where up to 50 workers would be kept in while they worked for these slave masters. In one case actually a Police Officer told me she had come across 25 People Living in the garden of a house in what she described as rabbit hutch is. Of course, there is often threats or beatings at the hands of the traffickers in order to basically scare the victims into staying put. 0ne basically scare the victims into staying put. One of the victims i spoke to for this investigation told me he had witnessed a gang master pouring boiling hot coffey over a victim. Another tried to strangle someone with his own shirt. It is not just someone with his own shirt. It is notjust physical someone with his own shirt. It is not just physical assaults someone with his own shirt. It is notjust physical assaults that they face. Traffickers will often steal id documents of victims to keep them trapped, or run up imaginary debts for living costs so they can spend decades paying off this money. My mother did you get the sense in your investigation of how bad the problem is, how widespread it is . One thing that really struck me when i first started to look into this was how much of an open secret it seemed to be in the sector, amongst Homeless Charities in shelters and even the police force. That was in contrast to Public Awareness around the issue. We did some digging and found there have been hundreds of reports of homeless victims of modern slavery in the uk in the past three yea rs. Slavery in the uk in the past three years. There were 278 in the last years. There were 278 in the last year alone. These figures are very likely to be the tip of the iceberg, simply because many of these cases are undocumented. The government, the local authorities, and many Police Forces have failed to keep track of any data of homeless victims of modern slavery. 0ur analysis really is the First Insight we have had into the scale of the problem and what it shows is these are not one offs. This is a widespread crime targeting some of the most Vulnerable People in our society. Weve been speaking to a victim of the rooney family, who were convicted last september of modern day slavery offences after they illegally held 18 men at a caravan site in lincoln. Fred, which isnt his real name, has learning difficulties and was picked up by the rooneys at a soup kitchen in reading before being driven to lincoln, where he would live in squalor for the next 12 years. Hes been speaking to our reporter greg dawson. Fred, just tell me about the day that you first met the rooney family, what can you remember . traveller came in and asked for some workers and i was the only one they asked. They said the work would be time making and block paving. I got into the van because they said they wa nted into the van because they said they wanted another van pushed to get it started. I got into the van and i just wondered what was going to happen to me and i ended up in lincoln. When you were in the van, did they tell you where they were taking you . Did they tell you where they were taking you . No. When i got out of the van it was dark and i was shown a caravan, and i stayed in that ca rava n a caravan, and i stayed in that caravan until the morning. There we re caravan until the morning. There were no washing facilities or electric or nothing. I didnt sleep at all because ijust electric or nothing. I didnt sleep at all because i just wanted electric or nothing. I didnt sleep at all because ijust wanted to get off that site and i didnt know where i was. They gave me breakfast and told me what duties i had to do there, and ifi and told me what duties i had to do there, and if i didnt do what i was told i would get slapped up from martin. Martin was the boss of them. I got on friendly with him at first but after a while he started bullying be. What did they tell you that they would pay you when you we re that they would pay you when you were working for them . They said i would get £20 to £30 a day forjust doing things like digging out a driveway and getting it ready for paving or tarmac. And did they ever give you that money . No. Never. All the time i was there i got nothing off them. They also took my benefits from me that i was paid every fortnight. If you refused to do the work they were asking, what would happen . If i didnt work they were asking, what would happen . Ifi didnt do work they were asking, what would happen . If i didnt do the work, id get slapped by the dad. And if the dad wasnt there, id get slapped by the twins. I had no choice. How often would they beat you . Every day, if i didnt do what they wanted. He would either use his belt or his fist. I wanted to walk off there and then, but i didnt know where i was or where to go. I was frightened. What did you do for food when you were living there . Theres a friend of mine who used to go to raid the bins at the local shops to feed himself. And when he went looking for food i went with him. Feed himself. And when he went looking forfood i went with him. We got into the bins, taking bread and whatever else was worth eating. I would also do a bit of hunting. I used to theyre rabbits and did my own little rabbit stews and that. Tell me about the conditions in the ca rava n tell me about the conditions in the caravan itself were you able to have a shower, use the toilets . caravan itself were you able to have a shower, use the toilets . If i wa nted have a shower, use the toilets . If i wanted the toilet i would have to go behind the nearest bush. So there we re behind the nearest bush. So there were no toilets . There was no toilet there. I couldnt have a wash or shower. So, you lived for12 there. I couldnt have a wash or shower. So, you lived for 12 years with no toilets, with no washing facilities . No. Access to a shower was a no go, toilet was a no go. If i wanted a wash i would have to walk down to the nearest rock and have a wash in there. Them days was hard, andi wash in there. Them days was hard, and i hope it doesnt happen to anybody else. The nearest brook. Theres me and a few others that have been through it, and i wouldnt wa nt have been through it, and i wouldnt want it to happen to anybody else. Did you ever wonder when you were there, is anybody looking for me . Yeah, i wondered that, because i lost co nta ct yeah, i wondered that, because i lost contact with all my friends and that. Id given up hope until the police found me. 12 years is such a long time to be trapped somewhere, to be exploited, and to be abused as you work what effect has that had on your life . |j dont like being out all day, because i know people could be out there wanting workers. Its hard. I do not want to see it happen to anybody. Theres Homeless People out there, and i dont want to see them in the same place i was. Its affected me a lot. Now, im away from them, im glad to be where i am now. If it hadnt been for the police rescuing me, i wouldnt be walking about, id probably be in a wooden box somewhere. Right now were going straight to the Supreme Court in london live, where theyre delivering a ruling on the cases wrought by two women against the mike Pollitt Police in the worboys case. Those failures constituted a violation of their rights under article three of the European Convention on human rights and their freedoms. Article three provides that no one shall be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The main issue on the appeal was to what extent article three imposes a positive obligation on states effectively to investigate reported crimes perpetrated by private individuals. The high court and the court of appeal held that a positive obligation to investigate did exist, and that in this case, that obligation had not been fulfilled. Compensation was awarded to dsd and nbv. Commissioner of the police appealed to the Supreme Court, and it was accepted that whatever the outcome of this appeal, recoupment of any compensation that had paid would not be sorted. The main area of dispute was the nature of the positive obligation imposed by article three of the convention. In particular, the question arose as to weather that obligation relates only to systemic failures on the part of the police, or weather it also includes failures in the conduct of the investigation. The Supreme Court unanimously dismisses the commissioners appeal. There was disagreement between us as to whether a liability under the human rights act arose only due to systemic failures or whether efficiency is in the actual investigation of the offences would be enough to make the police libel. By be enough to make the police libel. Bya be enough to make the police libel. By a majority, we have held that failures in the investigation of the crimes, provided they are sufficiently serious, will give rise to liability on the part of the police. And we further found that there were such serious efficiencies in this case. There were, of course, both systemic and investigatory failures, a the important point to make is that if the investigation is seriously defective, even if no systemic failures are present, this would be enough to render the police libel. The court is now adjourned. So, the two women who argued that the met police breached their human rights forfailing the met police breached their human rights for failing to investigate claims that they had been raped by john worboys in 2003 and 2007 have won their case. The metropolitan police have lost. And indeed, the home office backed by the then home secretary theresa may, have lost that case. We can go tojune kelly, our correspondent, outside the Supreme Court. We heard most of the ruling, but just fill us in Supreme Court. We heard most of the ruling, butjust fill us in with the significance of this . I think the first thing to say, victoria, is that this is a significant victory for these women and a serious defeat for these women and a serious defeat for these women and a serious defeat for the met police, who had brought this challenge, having lost in the lower courts. They then came to the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, in the hope that they would win here, the police, and obviously, an important defeat for them. As we were hearing from the justices, they said that they accepted the arguments from the womens lawyers that the police had breached these womens human rights over their failure breached these womens human rights over theirfailure to breached these womens human rights over their failure to investigate john worboys. As we know, john worboys was roaming around the streets of london committing crimes against women for a number of years, and it has been acknowledged by the met police that he should have been brought to justice earlier. And the women brought this case on that basis, that he could have been stopped earlier. This case tells one of the most significant things about it is that it will have implications now for forces around the country over a possible failure to investigate. Meaning what, you mean other people might sue Police Forces for failures to investigate properly . Yes, and were talking about serious crimes here, serious Violent Crimes, is what the womens lawyers had argued this case was about. And basically this is why the Police Fought this case all the way to this court, because they realised the implications if thejudgment went against them. And of course now, it has done, as we have heard in the last few minutes. The women it should be said, in this case, the two women, are also the women who are bringing a challenge against the decision to release worboys from prison on licence. That is a separate case going on through a separate case going on through a separate judicial process. Separate case going on through a separatejudicial process. But coming back to whats going on here this morning, crucially, thejudges have said, the justices this morning, crucially, thejudges have said, thejustices have this morning, crucially, thejudges have said, the justices have said, that the womens human rights were breached because the force was under an obligation to investigatejohn worboys. It failed in that duty. It isa worboys. It failed in that duty. It is a duty of the state, as it was put in the judgment, is a duty of the state, as it was put in thejudgment, and is a duty of the state, as it was put in the judgment, and therefore this is why the met police this morning have lost this case. Thank you, june kelly, outside the Supreme Court. So, a significant ruling from the Supreme Court in the last few minutes. We spoke to one of the women who was taking that case, who has won that case, at the start of the programme this morning. Your reaction now as you were watching. This one says. A horrific experience, such a brave woman. The police should be ashamed of themselves in the way that they treated her when she was at her most vulnerable. I hope her bravery and other women who exposed their attacks encourage others to come forward and report these crimes. This one says. It is ridiculous that the police did not properly investigate and take the information of the person who dropped the woman off at the Police Station who was in such a state. It is beyond belief and completely unprofessional. This one says. And completely unprofessional. This one says. On twitter the met police do need to be held accountable for failing survivors of the black cab rapist. It is clear to see the emotional suffering caused by poor standards in investigations. And one more. To relive the events and the trauma to complete strangers in positions of authority and not to be believed, to be told that you arent credible, nor behaving as a victim of Sexual Assault should, is inhumane. More reaction to come to the Supreme Court ruling in the next hour of the programme. We will bring you the latest news and sport in a moment. Before that, the weather with nick. High pressure building in across the uk, so it is quiet weather. The fog is quite slow to clear in some areas but there will be some sunshine for most areas at some stage today. There are areas of cloud around, particularly in england and wales. But even here i think the cloud will break at times and at least it will brighten up. There is the chance of the odd light shower in some areas but it is mainly dry story. Very few wind arose showing up, which indicates very light winds and temperatures topping out at about 659 celsius. Next week is looking much colder. But going towards this weekend temperatures will be dropping off a little bit. And tonight there will be a more widespread frost around. Weve got plenty of clear spells, still some patchy cloud and patches of fault developing as well as we go through the night. Temperatures in two tomorrow morning close to freezing, a few degrees below in the coldest spots. More of us getting a frost tomorrow morning, and tomorrow, just like today, there will be areas of cloud around, there will be sunny spells, and whilst most places are looking dry, there will be enough cloud towards Northern Ireland and western scotland to produce a few light showers here. Temperatures just dropping off a degree or so again, and that is the trend for the rest of the week and into the weekend, turning colder as lead at the weekend, as the winter starts to hit up and some really bitter, cold air expect it for a time next week and a few snow showers around as well. We will keep you updated. Hello. Its 10 oclock. Im victoria derbyshire. Breaking news in the last few minutes. The metropolitan police has lost its Supreme Court challenge over a ruling which led to two women who were sexually assaulted by london cabbie john worboys winning compensation. Weve been speaking exclusively to one of those women. I am not worried about what he will do to me but i dont want to go back to 2003 and be watching the news again waiting for him to reoffend. I know he will reoffend full i dont want to be in that position where i will say, i was right because he will absolutely do it again. Well bring much more reaction to this throughout the programme. Also on the programme the United Nations in syria says its deeply worried for hundreds of thousands of people trapped under a mounting government bombardment of the rebel held enclave of Eastern Ghouta. We can hear the shouts and crying of women and children. The mortars are dropping on us like rain. There is nowhere to hide from this nightmare in Eastern Ghouta. Women whove had their ovaries or wombs removed to treat the painful condition of endometriosis say they are not receiving the right after care. The Supreme Court has made a ruling over thejohn the Supreme Court has made a ruling over the john worboys the Supreme Court has made a ruling over thejohn worboys case. The women claimed Police Failures amounted to inhuman and degrading treatment. The metropolitan police had argued it had practices and procedures in place that, in the last few minutes, the court ruled against them. Fiona is one of the women involved in todayss case. She was not one of the women that worboys was convicted of raping that she has been recognised as a victim of rape since by the police was she told this programme exclusively about what happened to her injohn worboys cab. She is appearing alongside her lawyer. There was a conversation about him stopping for a cigarette or something and did i want a cigarette. I might even have asked him if it was ok to smoke. In 2003 you did smoke in cabs. People dover andi you did smoke in cabs. People dover and i render him getting into the back of the cab with me. He pulled over and i remember him. He went to put his arm around me. Before i lacked out i can remember thinking he was nice. I wonder if i encouraged him by saying that. I think i was meaning, you are a nice quy think i was meaning, you are a nice guy because you have given me a cigarette or something. It was not intended to be anything other than that. The next memory i have is waking up in hospital. That is when you woke up and thought, what on earth happened . You woke up and thought, what on earth happened . Yes. I woke up and was very confused very disorientated. I had a drip in my arm and pulled the drip out and went to the toilets. I think i was having a bit ofa to the toilets. I think i was having a bit of a meltdown for the looking back at it hit was a bit embarrassing because i was running around and shouting at the nurses, i dont know where i am, where am i . They did not realise what i meant. They did not realise what i meant. They kept saying i was in hospital. Ididnt they kept saying i was in hospital. I didnt know which hospital i was in andi i didnt know which hospital i was in and i was really upset because i should have been home looking after my should have been home looking after b. Should have been home looking after my baby. Did you know you had been raped . As soon as i went to the toilet i knew i had been raped. I was a little bit sore. When i went to the toilet the tampon i was wearing fell out. I knew instantly because of the way i was. Let me read you some more messages. Delighted by the Supreme Court decision to dismiss the appeal by the metropolitan police. This is justice. This text, i totally feel the pain of having seen worboys in court. I was a victim of Sexual Assault three years ago. I was a teenager at the time did not go to court i saw the person who did it in the supermarket a few months ago. By blood ran cold and i left immediately. What is not understood as the victim has a mental life sentence. Sue says, i sat down briefly this money to watch part of your programme and stayed with the interview with the john worboys your programme and stayed with the interview with thejohn worboys rape victim. I was stunned and mesmerised by her bravery and coherence telling her story. It must have taken so much to read tell the horrific events she has enjoyed. I cannot believe the police reaction. Let me introduce you to the people supporting the womens legal challenge. And also someone from the metropolitan police who investigated rapes during his time with the force. The women were arguing above a breach of human rights that police failed to investigate claims properly. What do you say . That judgment today is a huge victory for victims rights and huge step forward in an end of this. I am appalled by what i saw today. I already knew about it. This all happened as i was retiring. We had done so much about bringing on sexual investigations. For my part, it was about stalking and a lot has been achieved on that. I dont think the police has entirely got it right. The comeuppance has happened now. There are Strings Attached to it for the police with floodgates opening with claims from things like that. They will have to be careful on that. You say floodgates opening. The justice has made clear that this will only apply to serious crimes. Simek yes. Im happy you mean other people who feel the police has failed to investigate claims properly can soon. s aye you are right. Anyone who has been involved in a car crash, you get calls from Different Companies wanting to represent them. We are in that sort of society. Police are bound to be concerned about that. Let me read to this statement from the major bulletin police, from the deputy commissioner. He says the metabolic and police that is fully accepts the decision of the court this morning. The metropolitan police service. We have fully accepted the complaints and it was only the courage of the victims coming forward, including these two complainants today, who have come forward. Police force needed absolute clarity and the boundaries of Police Responsibility and liability for their investigations. We have always been clear that appeal to the Supreme Court was about interpretation of european human rights law. Do you accept that . It is good the police are accepting the decision. They had no choice. The real question is, why did they dragged the women through this . They lost in the high court and court of appeal. They say it is about clarity for the bit is about the police then they did not want women like the victims ofjohn worboys to have a legal right to bring a case against the police where victims of serious Violent Crimes had faced serious investigative failures which had stopped people like john investigative failures which had stopped people likejohn worboys coming tojustice. Instead of stopped people likejohn worboys coming to justice. Instead of years of litigation funded by the taxpayers the police should have said, we will learn the lessons of the failures make sure the victims of violent, Sexual Offences are protected in future and not cite the legal niceties over a number of yea rs legal niceties over a number of years as they have done. Back is deeply disappointing. Do you think if police failed to thoroughly investigate a serious crime they have breached an individuals human rights . I think the speed of the reaction from the metropolitan police suggests they were expecting that verdict. It is about subsequent liabilities and that is what they wanted to make perfectly clear. There is a huge amount. Now we are clear. They are liable. They have to carry out thorough investigations into peoples lane is when it is a serious allegation. I think they knew that in the first place. It is penalties and sanctions that followed. I would say, notwithstanding what has happened today, it still has been huge progress made in the investigation of sexual matters and this has gone horribly wrong and no one will defend it, i hope. There are more and more people reporting these crimes. I would encourage people to continue doing that. Things have moved on. I can go back 30,40 years we nt moved on. I can go back 30,40 years went they were treated atrociously, which they may have been treated here was a marvellous moves have been taken forward but it is more of a multi agency approach and medical examinations so police have confidence and report it. Would you accept that police have made progress when it comes to investigating serious Sexual Assaults . Some progress has been made and more progress needs to be made. We need better investigations and we need the women better looked after. We need to see more prosecutions and higher conviction rates. I read into the bottom of the judgment will have to consider how we balance resources against the need to effectively investigate certain crimes. Interesting. Thank you very much will coming onto the programme. 250 people have been killed in damascus in three days through intense bombing. The area is Eastern Ghouta. It has been held by rebels. It has been under siege for the last five years. In 2013 its people were subject to a chemical attack, which the United Nations said constituted a war crime. Hundreds were killed and many more left seriously injured. Now the relentless bombing has been described as beyond imagination with the un calling on World Leaders to demand the Syrian Government immediately stops the bombing. The un has also issued a blank statement, mostly blank, hardly any words on it, because they say there are no words to talk about what is happening in Eastern Ghouta. Syria itself has been in civil war for a total of seven years with no sign of ending. These Eastern Ghouta residents describe life there. The missiles and the mortars are dropping on ours like rain. There is nowhere to hide from this nightmare in Eastern Ghouta. On us. Those injured, ta ken those injured, taken to the underground hospitals are taken now by doctors. Joining us now via phone is dr bassam bakri who is a doctor working in Eastern Ghouta. How do you help peoples injured in the conditions we have been talking about . Hello everyone.

Every minute we have three or four air strikes. This is the situation. It is catastrophic in Eastern Ghouta. You cannot imagine that. How long have you been enduring this . It is about today, maybe today, were in the three months in this attack. We have more than maybe 2000 killed people, more than maybe 2000 killed people, more than ten times this number about killed people is injured people. You know we are under siege by assad regime more than five years, no medicine. Sorry to interrupt again, you have no medicine, do you have food . No. Do you have water . No, no, we dont have. We have no medicine, not enough medicine, no anaesthetic medicine, no child medicine, a be no milk for the children. No morphine, no dialysis applies. Maybe no milk. You know we are under besiegement. Most of these items, we have a shortage on this medicine, and maybe some of it. You know that your president says that this area is being targeted, because rebels are embedded amongst civilians, that they are deliberately living amongst they are deliberately living amongst the residents of Eastern Ghouta what do you say to your president . You mean my president is a cheryl assad . You mean my president is a cheryl assad . Yes. No, Basharal Assad is you mean my president is a cheryl assad . Yes. No, Bashar Al Assad is a criminal, it is not our president. The Syrian People want to withdraw or overthrow this regime. It is not our president. It is a criminal. He killed people, he destroy everything, he destroyed people, destroyed our schools, destroyed our hospitals. Its not from this country, i think its not. Its not our president , of course. So, we dont. We dont want this criminal president. He is a survivor, though, what can you do about him . You know, in this day, we are just dealing with emergency to make this innocent children and people and women stay alive, just surviving. So, another patient just we can alive, just surviving. So, another patientjust we can take them on waiting list. Thats what we can do now have. We dont have enough medicine.

Thank you, we are grateful for your time, situation. Thank you, we are gratefulfor your time, we appreciate you talking to us. A doctor there, trapped on the outskirts of damascus in Eastern Ghouta. This is a statement i wanted to show you from unicef, the aid agency which is there to care for children. It is mostly what have they have written on the top is, no words will do justice to the children killed, their mothers huddlestone so far, their loved ones. In the last few days 250 people have been killed in Eastern Ghouta in syria, and dozens of those are children. Here. Women whove had their ovaries or wombs removed to treat endometriosis have been telling this programme they are not receiving appropriate aftercare. Endometriosis is a condition where the layer of tissue that normally covers the inside of the uterus grows outside of it leaving women in debilitating pain. The nhs wont freeze the eggs of all women who have a hysterectomy to treat the condition, but does offer this to Cancer Patients who have to undergo the same operation. Its left people with the condition asking why they have less of a right to children and to proper aftercare. Last week actor lena dunham revealed that shed had a hysterectomy to treat her endometriosis the pain of which she said was unbearable. 176 million women worldwide live with it. Lets talk now to clair scrimshaw, who had a hysterectomy but was not offered the chance to have her eggs frozen. Salina akhtar has not had to have a hysterectomy but sees problems in the kind of care offered to women. And emma cox is the ceo of the charity endometriosis uk. She says there is a huge inequality in ca re a cross says there is a huge inequality in care across the nhs. Welcome all of you. Can you describe what it is and how it affected you and from what age . For me, endometriosis was something i had never heard of until i got diagnosed. My problems started at 13 when i started my period to. I would have extremely heavy bleeding, extreme pain, so going up the stairs for instance i would collapse sometimes. Going to the toilet, just normal, everyday things you take for granted, i was in so much pain that it was just ridiculous, i was taking time off school. That followed through into college and university and work. However, it took me 11 yea rs and work. However, it took me 11 years to get diagnosed. Age to 24 by then . Yes, i was. And by that point, imean, i then . Yes, i was. And by that point, i mean, i was then . Yes, i was. And by that point, i mean, iwasjust then . Yes, i was. And by that point, i mean, i wasjust so poorly then . Yes, i was. And by that point, i mean, i was just so poorly with it, and at that point, when i was diagnosed, actually, firmly enough, they told me i had endometriosis, they told me i had endometriosis, they said, were going to give you a course of injections for six months. Off you go. They never explained what it was. In my mind i thought it was something similar to a cold, something i could get rid of in terms of having these injections. So, nobody talked about potentially a hysterectomy or it affecting your fertility . No, nothing. As far as i was concerned, it was just those six injections. But in the end it was a number of operations culminating in a hysterectomy . Yes. I had a total of four surgeries for the endometriosis, and breach was using a kind of laserfor endometriosis, and breach was using a kind of laser for the endometriosis and the other two were excision which is a deeper tissue which they kind of cutaway. Which is now the most standard treatment because it actually gets further down rather than just the superficial endometriosis. But then after that, i had another operation, tubes removed, that was in october 20 16th tubes removed, that was in october 2016th and that did not work for me and finally, july 2017, my 34th birthday pretty much, i had a hysterectomy. And you asked about harvesting expert or freezing eggs . Idid, harvesting expert or freezing eggs . I did, there was a window of about a month or so between me speaking to a co nsulta nt month or so between me speaking to a consultant at at you having a hysterectomy, where they said, if you want children it will cost you £3500 to freeze your eggs. And i had one week to make the decision. So, for me. Why were they charging you . Because at the time it was only specifically cancer patient i think who can get a free. I get a free cycle of ivf for endometriosis but i cant freeze my eggs for free. Understood. And so. How do you respond to that . At the time, it was quite stressful for me because i respond to that . At the time, it was quite stressfulfor me because i had been on morphine for years by that point. I take morphine every day and codeine and seven other extreme painkillers. It has been difficult to work, so i have worked when i can and had two operations and come away from working. So, obviously, financially, youre not particularly stable. Did you have £3500 to pay for the harvesting and freezing of eggs . No, i didnt. At the time, it is more your primary kind of focus is more your primary kind of focus is to get rid of the pain. So, mentally i was not in the right state of mind i dont think to even consider the impact of not freezing eggs. Because since i have had my hysterectomy u nfortu nately my eggs. Because since i have had my hysterectomy unfortunately my two sisters have children and i do now feel like i would like perhaps the opportunity to have that experience. But i dont. Opportunity to have that experience. But i dont. Salina akhtar, this is why i think you want to make a point about the inequality when it comes to certain treatments, certain conditions . Yep. I probably went through a similar experience. After my first surgery i thought i was cured, idid my first surgery i thought i was cured, i did not know it was a lifelong issue. And i think i did not even realise what was happening until i started to feel unwell again about two or three years later, and i had to go back to my doctor, a different gp because i had moved, fight again to get to a gynaecologist to get diagnosed almost from scratch even though they had my surgery on file. And at no point along the way had i really been told how it would affect my fertility. And how has it . I cant have children, basically. Initially, probably i had a bit of a nervous breakdown, i will be honest. Probably i had a bit of a nervous breakdown, iwill be honest. But probably i had a bit of a nervous breakdown, i will be honest. But i am resolved to that now. But had i been told at 25 when i first got diagnosed that if you let this condition progressed it can have that effect, maybe at that age i would have made a decision to have babies earlier in life or whatever. But when i was 30 i had another surgery and then, i had to go. I was with a partner at the time and we went to have ivf and we found that i could not have it on the nhs because i was not old enough running having the condition. So, we went private. Only through doing that did i find out that my body had gone into premature menopause. Sol basically could not have children without an egg donor anyway. But had i known at 25 that there was a possibility of any of this happening, you think, actually, maybe i would have had kids at 25, you dont know. You might have made different decisions had you had the full information. Yeah. Carol, how many gynaecologists did it take before. . Many gynaecologists did it take before. . Sorry, it sounds like the start of a bad joke. Before you were diagnosed . My first gynaecologist told me that my problems were due to with stress and moving house. I waited a year and saw another one, finally operated and diagnosed endometriosis and told me she had fixed it. Which. I had never heard of it before, either. When someone tells you that they have fixed it, you think they have. But my pain was so you think they have. But my pain was so much worse, and then i saw a third gynaecologist and he found endometriosis in my bowel and bladder. Which, ok, it might be a bit less common, but that is how it was affecting me, i had constipation, diarrhoea, iwas having pain all month notjust constipation, diarrhoea, iwas having pain all month not just with my period. Painful intercourse throughout my 20s, which was really difficult to come to terms with. So it really affected me very badly by that point. In terms of the practicalities of your life now . What does it mean . is really complicated, difficult condition. I wish i had is really complicated, difficult condition. Iwish i had been diagnosed earlier. I was 31 when i was diagnosed. I have had the lower pa rt was diagnosed. I have had the lower part of my bowel removed and eight bladder operations. I live with half blood and out. I have had endometriosis between my kidney and bladder. I lived with a condition called lymphoedema so my leg is permanently swollen. In terms of where i am now, i am 45 and probably in Better Health than i have been for a long time but i chose to have a hysterectomy. I have a condition which can occur alongside endometriosis where cells actually grow in the wall of the win. It is really difficult because a hysterectomy does not cure and demetrius is but for this other condition it can make a really big difference to our lives. Endometriosis. We have heard here where people have conditions where they have to self catheterised. They have had no follow up. I know selena was being seen by two different gynaecologist for two differing conditions saying, ignore what the other one is saying want you to take these drugs. I am paraphrasing. Other one is saying want you to take these drugs. Lam paraphrasing. I think claire, her first operation was to have her ovaries removed and a hysterectomy came a few months later. She was told she could not harvest eggs and in the nhs because it is only endometriosis. If you are having an operation if, whatever reason you are having, it should not matter the cause. There should be pathways. With lymphoedema, if you had the same operations as carroll quickly would be seen by a whole range of consultants. We were talking earlier with claire caligula discharged straight on two hours and you have had no follow up. Only found out that the months later you should have been referred to the menopause clinic and had hrt therapy. I think there is an inequality we need to make a difference for these women. A couple of messages. Lindsay saying, i have stayed four endometriosis. How many stages are their quest to do know there were stages at all. There are two different ways of classifying it. There are stages one to four. It depends on where and how deep it is. 0k, thank you. I had many misdiagnoses between the ages of ten and 28 and it has completely ruined my life. I lost myjob of eight yea rs my life. I lost myjob of eight years and have had to take morphine every day during the four years. It isa every day during the four years. It is a horrific illness which takes far too long to diagnose and doctors do not seem to know too much about it or believe us when they say how much pain they are in. There is no cure. Thank you for bringing this issue onto your programme. Jean said, i had endometrial softer suffering a really bad pain which included painful sex and bad bleeding. 0n included painful sex and bad bleeding. On occasions this prevented me from going to work. I visited my gp many times and decided i had my appendix removed, which happened. It was not until i had an early hysterectomy that endometriosis was diagnosed. Thank you very much. Thank you for talking. I really appreciate it. Hopefully it will make a difference. Still to come. We will hear a story about an honour killing. We will also discuss Homeless People being trapped into modern day slavery and find out what we can do to stop it. Time for the latest news.

Referring to the police can she added, had you done yourjob properly, there would not have been 105 victims were there would have been won. I could have taken the one but not the 105. We are going to introduce you to this robot. We will show you how he mimics the facial expressions of people like me in order to help teach autistic children how to learn emotion. Absolutely fascinating. I was going to say we will talk to him before 11. Were not going to do that but we are going to talk about it before 11. Now the sport. Another busy day at the winter olympics. Team gbs Womens Curling Team has reach the semi finals. They came through a very difficult matchup against the defending champions canada, snatching the win with two points on the final end. The 6 5 win for team gb also means the canadians are knocked out failing to reach the semi finals for the first time. Things were very very different for team gbs men as the United States scored 4 points in the eighth end to hand britain a crushing 10 4 defeat.

Lionel messis late strike denied chelsea going into the next round against barcelona. More sport after 11 oclock. Drones turned into missiles. Fake videos manipulating Public Opinion and automated hacking. The malicious use of Artificial Intelligence report is warning that al is ripe for exploitation by rogue states and terrorists. More is needed to be done to mitigate possible misuses of technology. Lets talk about the risks and the positives. 0ne researcher behind todays port is a doctor who is here. Sarah ben at is also here. On our table is the robot. We have a doctor from ucls our table is the robot. We have a doctorfrom ucls institute of education. You study risk for a living. What are the long term risks imposed by gases proposed by ai . Proposed by ai . We could go as far as human extinction. That sounds apocalyptic. No human beings left. There have been various conversations about long term with Artificial Intelligence and machines which can perform better than humans and the risks that they might pose this is not what this report is about what it looks at the that we have now in the next five years and how they might be misused by hackers with malicious intent to cause harm. That is something i have mentioned in the introduction. I am fascinated about how we go from that to human extinction. So. I must sayi havent prepared that this is something i do talk about quite a lot. Do me to come back to you. In principle, we are making machines that can think. It is proving extremely difficult. Five years ago you could not have a computer that tells a pa rt you could not have a computer that tells apart a cat from a dog. The fa ct we tells apart a cat from a dog. The fact we can do so now brings about risks in the near temple submitted how long will take until we have computers he can do everything that humans can do. In the near term but we do not know how long it will take. If you can do everything a human can do, you can do much more than a human can do, you can do much more thana human human can do, you can do much more than a human can do. If we make such systems were not shown we are in control of the more that they want what we want, we might end up in a world where are the kind of world we have wa nted world where are the kind of world we have wanted to create is not one we wa nt to have wanted to create is not one we want to inhabit and we will not be in a position to stay there. They would kill us all . Create an environment in which we could not stay. How worried are you . To be honest, not as worried as perhaps the initial discussion might suggest. We certainly nowhere near having machines that can in any way think for themselves, we dont have sent a unique beings. One thing Technology Struggles with is past transfer. They are based on data we are feeding them. We are very much in control of this technology and it is not something we see making its completely its own decisions. Not yet. Not yet. For now, i feeling fairly calm about it and in control. You advise companies on robotics and ai. Can you give us some real life examples . Certainly do if i ai. Can you give us some real life examples . Certainly do ifi can ai. Can you give us some real life examples . Certainly do if i can just respond. What we should not ignore is the fact that our Protection Systems, we also become cleverer. The same technology, Artificial Intelligence, that creates the potential for all the harm highlighted by the report will also enable us to have better Protection Systems. Ijust enable us to have better Protection Systems. I just wanted enable us to have better Protection Systems. Ijust wanted to make sure and provide a balanced view. There are people working on developing Protection Systems right now. Let me give you an example. 10 20 years ago, we did not have a virus checkers. As viruses became unleashed on World Companies propped up unleashed on World Companies propped up popped up to develop virus checkers and protection for computer systems. Cyber security will get a lot more enhanced because of Artificial Intelligence. To tell you about examples of where ai is being used effectively it is being used by businesses do is being used by businesses do is being used by businesses to speed up business processes. For example, you might hear of a processes. For example, you might hearofa train processes. For example, you might hear of a Train Company here in the uk that is handling its customer complaints, using ai for that, and they are getting refunds for customers processed much more quickly. Is it like an enhanced computer . It literally mimics human processes where you need to make the judgment. It mimics that. Documents coming the claims come in. It looks for the important points. It being what . Ai. What does it look like . piece of software. She says disappointedly. Back enough. We also wa nted disappointedly. Back enough. We also wanted to talk about some of the incredible things which robots are getting involved in, and ai. Dr alyssa alcorn, how are we using this robot . I am part of a project which is looking at using this robot as a teaching tool for Young Children on the autism spectrum to learn about emotions. So, were going to show how it works. Lets hope this works. Never work with children, animals or robots so, zeno is going to mimic the expressions on my face, and im told they have to be rather a judge rated. So, as victoria is making an expression, the camera here. That is my shocked face i am very convinced so, the camera here is tracking 49 facial landmarks on your face and effectively using them like instructions, telling the motors in the robots face what to do. Is he copying the . He is turning his head as you turn your head try and angry face. I am never angry, this will be very hard hes doing his best there. Maybe you just dont look angry enough life is good at the moment so, really, really happy the moment so, really, really happy. He looks pretty happy, too, there. So, were interested in using this very early on in teaching children on the autism spectrum about emotions, because they might not Pay Attention to faces. So, with all of those expressions, not that interesting, but seeing a robot would have an impact on a child on the autistic spectrum . Would have an impact on a child on the autistic spectrum . Simply meeting the robot will probably not have an impact, were talking about a Teaching Programme over a longer period. But it is thought that children on the spectrum might be more comfortable interacting with a robot, because it is a simpler than a person. We can programme the robot to only give a limited range of social cues at one time, and to make him be able to repeat those in exactly the same way over and over. People are a lot less consistent, they can be much more confusing. So it is thought that that might lower the demand of the interruption on the demand of the interruption on the child, so they can maybe get more out of the learning experience thats one of the things we want to test in this project, is if that seems to be true. Thank you very much. Really interesting. And thank you to zeno. I cannot believe i am thanking a robot, but this is what the world is going to be about thank you all of you are coming on the programme. At 11 oclock were going to bring you more reaction to the Supreme Court ruling handed down today in the case of two women who we re today in the case of two women who were arguing that the met police failed to investigate their claims that they were raped by the black cab driverjohn worboys. The cases werent thoroughly investigated, thats what they were arguing. They have won is mourning. And the metropolitan police have lostjust more reaction to that after 11. They have won this morning. Injuly 2016, samia shahid was raped and murdered during a visit to see family in pakistan. The 28 year old from bradford had been living in dubai with her second husband after her first arranged marriage to her cousin broke down. Her decision to divorce and re marry for love caused a huge rift with her family. As this actor, speaking the words of four is best friend in the uk, explains. From her parents point of view they were doing the right thing by her. My mum and dad are pakistani but im not. Im from the uk. How could i change all of a sudden . How cani could i change all of a sudden . How can i be the villager from could i change all of a sudden . How can i be the villagerfrom back home . He knew she didnt want to marry him so why couldnt he have been the bigger person and say, you know what, she doesnt want to spend the rest of her life with you, why should i marry you . He could have helped her, heres how cars in, he has known her since they were kids. He is her cars in. Desperate to try and resolve the fallout she flew out to pakistan, despite fears for her safety. Six days into her trip, samias father called the police and said shed had a heart attack and was lying dead at bottom of the stairs. She was buried within a day, but the story didnt stack up for samias second husband, and herfriends in the uk. They became suspicious and began a quest for the truth, now, for the first time, samias second husband, mukhtar has spoken about her murder in a new bbc documentary. Here he talks about why his wife decided to make that fateful trip. I get igeta i get a call from the cousin asking about samia, and he told me that her aunt, which was her ex mother in law, she passed away. She was really in shock. She really loved her auntie. There is no denial about that, she cried a lot when she died. She wanted to go to pakistan after that and we had this discussion why she shouldnt go to pakistan. And then, after a few weeks, she started getting these emotional dialogue from the family, the father is not well, he is going to pass away any time, you need to come. Things might happen to the father. Were going to talk now to bradford mp naz shah, who wrote to the Prime Minister of pakistan immediately after samias death, describing the case as an honour killing and calling for an investigation. How did you first hear about samia . I had how did you first hear about samia . Ihada how did you first hear about samia . I had a lady calling the, a constituent who rang me on the friday after her death and said to me, can you support me . And if you cant will you signpost me, i know this girl has been murdered, can you help us . That is how i got involved. And what did you learn about what could have happened to her . Well, originally, in the community, it was, she had an asthma attack, she had a heart attack. And as i started speaking to her friends, had a heart attack. And as i started speaking to herfriends, and people who knew her, they all said very, very clearly, this girl married out of her own choice and she was taken to pakistan, there were lots of Police Involvement previously when she decided to marry the cousin out of her own choice and leave her first husband, and to me it had the hallmarks of a so called honour killing. That was the minute i heard about it. And she herself, we can see the messages, she was worried about going to pakistan, she said she had not had reassurances but she desperately wanted to go to see her sick relative . She was told to go and see her father who was ill, her cousin who wanted her to go. I have read the messages i have seen the screenshots of him saying, come home if he was panicked every time he did not hearfrom her. And the last message was just after 12 oclock and after that we did not hear from her. Oclock and after that we did not hearfrom her. And the next thing oclock and after that we did not hear from her. And the next thing we knew she had been murdered. What do we ta ke knew she had been murdered. What do we take from this horrific case . Well, theres a few things. For samias legacy we really, really need to get justice. Samias legacy we really, really need to getjustice. Although her father passed away last month, i think it was, we still have an ex husband who is charged with her rape and her murder who is in custody in pakistan. The court case is going to be transferred, because a Police Officer was done for corruption in this case as well, so it was really, really important to get political and media pressure in pakistan and the guardian played a huge role in britain to highlight its. But also legally speaking, we have got the new ample Domestic Violence abuse bill coming through an end that we hope there will be new powers which will mean that if we have another case, where a samia is going to pakistan and is murdered in india or pakistan or wherever, then our police force can start asking questions, and that is really important, because it sends out the message, you cannot take one of our british children abroad and think you can kill them and get away with it. Thank you very much. You can watch murdered for love . Samia shahid, tonight at 9pm on bbc two. The epidemic of violent knife crime in london has claimed two more fatalities. Both were stabbed to death last night in kentish town, in the north of the city. It brings the number of people stabbed to death in the capital since the beginning of the year to 16. Bbc londons reporter Greg Mckenzie is on the scene of one of last nights incidents. Police were called to malden road just after ten oclock last night, with reports of a man believed to be in his 20s who had suffered from staff wounds. When they arrived they pronounced him dead here at the scene. An hour and a half before that incident here on malden road just behind me, there was a separate stabbing, a teenager was stabbed on bartholomew road. That is about 1520 bartholomew road. That is about 15 20 minutes from this location by footer. It is believed he was a teenager, and local residents have said on foot that they saw the mother of the teenager being comforted by the police. She was in an emotional state and taken to a local community centre. It was there where family members gathered and a number of Police Community officers we re number of Police Community officers were talking to the family and local residents on the estate, saying theyre shocked and saddened about what has happened but say this is a reality of living in this area. Earlier in the programme, we brought you the story of how hundreds of britains homeless are being trapped into modern slavery. We can speak a bit about this now. There are many people trapped into modern slavery despite the act . There, we have been aware of this for some time, we have been commissioned to do some work on, we have found out, of the six d1 organisations that we surveyed, about 64 had had experience of this. So it is a huge issue on the ground and with the rise in rough sleeping, the latest figures show a 159 rise in both sleeping on the streets since 2010. There is a huge amount of people there to be preyed on. Caroline haughey, why is this happening run in the introduction of the legislation with the modern slavery act . People have an expectation to go and get their car washed for £4, and we as a society are encouraging it because we want more for less. When people want more for less, people who are vulnerable, weather it the alcohol, mental health, financial, then they are the ones who are going to be exploited. If you dont have a home, and somebody offers you a roof over your head, even though you probably know it is not going to be on great toms, it is not going to be on great toms, it is not going to be on great toms, it is the least worst alternative. It is not going to be on great toms, it is the least worst alternativelj ta ke it is the least worst alternative. take your point about people wanting a car wash for £4, but who is supposed to enforce this legislation, us, the police . Actually it is not about enforcing the legislation, the legislation is being enforced, were seeing raids happened, we are seeing a leasing attitude change and we are seeing prosecutions on the increase. I think it has got to be education, health care, social services, the police have to keep stepping up to the mark as well. But i think we all have to be involved in trying to help our fellow man for the better. Thank you. Mick clarke and caroline haughey, thank you. Back tomorrow. Temperatures are going to drop away over the next few days and it will be turning cold by the weekend and into next week.

Temperatures, a couple of degrees lower than yesterday. Those temperatures will continue to fall away through the week. And as we go through tonight, with leah spells, its going to turn quite cold. Theres going to be some frost around. Temperatures down below freezing in some areas. Lots of dry weather around tomorrow. Apart from a few showers up into western scotland, some bright and sunny spells for some of us and maksimenko, which is again downjust a little bit. Maximum temperatures.
