Could he just be kidding around . What does it say about his presidency that we are asking these questions . Good evening and welcome to bbc news. An enquiry into seven decades of abuse of care injersey news. An enquiry into seven decades of abuse of care in jersey says children as they may still be at risk more than 600 witnesses have given harrowing evidence of systematic and this treatment of vulnerable young people such as being sexually abused, tortured with Electrical Wires or simply abandoned. The independent enquiry recommends this Childrens Home be demolished. It has also found failings in jerseys child demolished. It has also found failings injerseys child system even now and says the lessons of the past have not been learned. The island ofjersey, proud and independent, but according to the report, an island whose attitude to children in the care system was indefensible. Chair Frances Oldham said children had been abandoned in care with no regard to their rights or needs. Her panel had identified what she termed the jersey way. In its most favourable light, this expression is said to refer to the maintenance of proud and ancient traditions and the preservation of the islands way of life. Using the expression in a pejorative way, it is said to involve the protection of powerful interests and resistance to change, even when change is patently necessary. Allegations of abuse injersey came to public prominence during Police Operations at this former Childrens Home. The search for Human Remains at Haut De La Garenne was inconclusive, but the images spurred islanders who had kept their secrets for so long to come forward. They put dettol in my mouth. I couldnt breathe. Darren was sent into care as a baby. He said he and his friends were frightened to tell their stories of abuse. Everyone had a story but no one wanted to say it. Some did try to, and it was just brushsed aside. And it became like a little gang, that you would just sit there and you know, you would talk between yourselves but you were afraid to say anything. During a three year investigation, police recorded more than 500 alleged offences at homes throughout the island. Madeline spent her early years at Haut De La Garenne. She wants to remain anonymous. I was in care from the age of three months, and it went on till i was nearly 17. Awful experiences of abuse, being locked in a cell for days on end, beatings, being forced down in the bath, practically, i thought i was going to die, then. The panel said children of all ages had been powerless for decades. There seems to be a Common Thread throughout, that wherever the states ofjersey were involved in the care of children, they failed to meet their responsibilities. There was a lack of political will and a lack of political action. The report said lessons had not been learned and jerseys children were still at risk. Even in newer homes, they were not receiving the care and support they needed. The islands Chief Minister had listened with colleagues and he said jersey had to act. We failed children who needed our care, who needed to be protected and listened to. Unpalatable truths were swept under the carpet because it was the easiest thing to do. I am deeply sorry. The report says Haut De La Garenne should be torn down, a symbol of fear, mistrust and the weaknesses of the jersey way. Theyve been getting away with it for so long. And peoples lives have been ruined because of not listening in the first place. But now, people are listening. Robert hall, bbc news, jersey.

Theresa may says there is no change in the governments position on Public Sector pay despite a succession of ministers lining up to say its time to remove the i pay gap in england. Downing street says it will listen to the various Pay Review Bodies but pay rises from millions of workers including doctors, nurses and the armed forces have already been fixed at i of the next 12 months. How are we doing at the top end . There are two stark figures at the heart of this battle over Public Sector pay. I the pay cap imposed for nurses, teachers, firefighters and the many other Public Sector workers. And 2. 9 , the rate at which prices are rising inflation. For the 5 Million People this affects, their real incomes are falling. Alan daly is a firefighter from 0xfordshire like so many others, weary of the Living Standards squeeze. Firefighters dont expect to be rich, but they dont expect to be going and asking for hand outs. I hear time and time again, oh, theyve got second jobs. Yes, some do have second jobs, because they have to put food on the table. Whether they travelled by car. Has the government been underpaying nurses and teachers, Foreign Secretary . Or by bike, the message was the same from cabinet heavyweights. Is it time to rethink the pay cap . The treasury was not amused, pointing out that balancing the books is still central to economic policy, and the government is still spending £47 billion a year more than it earns. Paying for Public Sector workers is one of the biggest things that the government does. We spend £180 billion a year on the doctors and nurses and teachers and policemen and so on. So, each extra 1 on that big number itself costs quite a lot. This is the Public Sector pay challenge. Whilst pay in the Public Sector has been capped at i , in the private sector, average increases are now running at 3. 3 . This is leading to those recruitment problems. The private sector is simply becoming more attractive. And then there is the cost of any pay rise and that could be as high as £1. 5 billion for every 1 extra paid to the 5 Million People employed in the Public Sector. Now, who pays for that . Well, here, the treasury says that money will either need to come from higher taxes, more borrowing or a better performing economy. As we have seen with the poor economic figures at the start of the year, relying on Economic Growth can be dangerous. Yes, some Public Sector workers do receive automatic pay increases, called increments. But economists say there is a bigger issue here, and its all about the political approach. Its perfectly straightforward to say, you can raise taxes to pay for this. I think the barrier there is political, and weve had a government that for a very long time now has been saying, we want to at least level off public spending and not have any increases, we dont want to increase taxes, wed rather give people tax cuts. And this is now two immovable objects crashing into each other. Clothes are going here. Whether its the response to the grenfell fire tragedy, the heightened Terror Threat or todays Public Sector pay tensions, difficult choices on spending lie ahead. The governments position in parliament is precarious, making every decision it makes politically and economically high risk. Kensington and Chelsea Council has elected a new leader to replace the leader who resigned last week following criticism of the authorities handling of the Grenfell Tower disaster. Elizabeth campbell apology apologised to the people saying the council failed when it needed help. Some of the victims of the fai have written to the Prime Minister outlining concerns of the enquiry into the tragedy. This isnt the home they had, and it wont be filled with old Family Photos and mementos, for they now lie in the ashes. But this will be where some from grenfell will live. Council officials invited the media to this two bedroom flat. About 126 families have been offered this type of housing. There are about ten more, as we stand here today, families who need to be offered. There are a number of families who are not yet ready to work with us at all. Although housing will be offered, only a few of the Grenfell Residents will be in it by wednesday. Already, some are telling us that flats they have been offered are not ready to be lived in at the moment. Others dont want to move if they are going to have to move again. And so far, only eight families have taken up the offer of new, temporary accommodation. After the protests about kensington and Chelsea Council, tonight, a new leader was elected, her message perhaps three weeks too late. This is our community, and we have failed it when people needed us the most. So no buts, no ifs, no excuses, i am truly sorry. And the second thing im going to do is to phone up sajid javid, the secretary of state, and ask for more help. But the government is facing more calls for the judge leading the inquiry into why homes burned down, and why families died, to step aside. A group of lawyers representing some survivors writing to the Prime Minister with 12 demands, including the removal of sir martin moore bick. He stated that his remit would be extremely narrow, so people are thinking, well, this is going to be a bit of a whitewash, we dont have confidence in it. But the government is now suggesting his inquiry could be a broad one. He will set out the terms of the inquiry and he is not there yet. He should take the right amount of time necessary and make sure the inquiry is very broad and its to the satisfaction of the victims and their families and friends. Today at the inquest, two more victims were identified, ali jafaris wife and two daughters escape from the tenth floor but the 81 year old did not survive. 26 year old italian Gloria Trevisan died with her partner, marco. She called her parents as the flames spread, telling them, im sorry i could never hug you again. I dont want to die. I wanted to help you. Im about to go to heaven. I will help you from there. Lucy manning, bbc news. Now, it is newsnight. Mr gove has a view. I think we should listen to the Pay Review Bodies who govern each individual area of Public Sector pay. Mrjohnson, we are told, has a view. Has the government been underpaying nurses and teachers, mr secretary . We can all have a view. Welcome to the post austerity age. The Deficit Problem has not exactly been cured, but things have changed since 2010, and politics sees other issues as more pressing none more so than pay forfive million public workers
