And work hard, anything is possible. Andy space bbc news. After her incredible win over the death of a baby boy a week naomi osaka, coco gauff admitted after he was delivered at a hospital she was struggling to take in what shed just done in kent was wholly avoidable, on the court i was definitely a coroner has ruled. Harry richford died like yeah, all of these people are at the Queen Elizabeth clapping for me. The queen mother hospital that is really every time in margate in 2017. The trust has apologised i think people think, i guess, you get used to it. For the failings in harrys care. I mean, im still new to this, but im sure im not used to it, and im sure the bbc revealed yesterday that there have been at least seven some of the players who are kind of preventable baby deaths, including that of harry, already won a bunch of slams, im at the east kent nhs trust to which the hospital belongs. Sure every time thats post match walk out when you waved to heres our social Affairs Correspondent michael buchanan, the crowd, im sure they feel like and his report contains flashing unbelievable in that moment. Images. We didnt get to hold harry yeah, definitely, thats definitely the mood for today. Until the day that he died. What is my life . Im so glad we got to spend those seven days with him and see him. There was nearly another very significant moment it means he was a real, at the Australian Open today, with the six time champion roger living human being for those seven days and that federer surviving a huge scare as he fought back from the brink means everything to us. To beat the unseeded john millman tom and sarah should in a deciding set tie break. Have their toddler son buzzing around them Patrick Geary reports on their seaside walk. But a catalogue of maternity failures robbed the young couple very few people get warm welcomes when playing australians in australia. Of harry within days of his birth. Roger federer is one of them. If harry had brain damage similar he and melbourne had a global icon to what he had when he died against their own local curio, and he was under my care during those seven days, i would be held accountable for that. But nobody has at the hospital. It all went wrong on this Maternity Unit over a two hour period one november night. First, a locum doctor, described as out of his depth, delayed delivering the baby. The coroner said he should never have been in charge that evening. He never had his cv checked by a consultant, as was the process. It doesnt feel like a very safe culture or a safe environment, if thats the case. Harry was born pale and floppy, but he would have survived and been healthy if a paediatrician hadnt failed for 28 minutes to properly resuscitate him. Everyone in theatre was panicking. The anaesthetist came up to me and said to me, im going to put you under general anaesthetic, and i was glad that he was going to do that because i didnt want to be in that room any more. Ive had to live with that for a long time because it meant that tom had to leave the room having seen harry being resuscitated because it was not a nice atmosphere to be in and it was panicked. It didnt feel like anybody was really in control. Gravely ill, harry was transferred to a nearby intensive care unit, but he never recovered, and his parents were advised to turn off his life support system. It was the worst week in our life in some respects, because you dont want to make that decision for your baby, but at the same time, you dont want your baby to grow up not having a good quality of life. East Kent Hospitals trust today apologised for the care it provided. They didnt address, however, why theyd initially recorded harrys death as expected and had refused for months to tell the coroner of his case. Both decisions would have meant they faced less scrutiny over the care they had provided. But they didnt account for the determination of harrys family to get to the truth. Now personally vindicated, their focus today was to ensure other families dont suffer as they have. We dont want this to be like all of the prior cases which we heard about yesterday when the news broke. There were a number of cases which the bbc investigated and they found out all of those cases, had they learned from those cases, we wouldnt be stood here today because harry would still be alive and well. That was tom richford ending that report there. Michael is with me now. Compare this trust to others in england. Should mothers expecting to give birth there be worried . The first thing to say is that for the vast majority, the overwhelming majority of women in this country, labour and giving birth is a safe and healthy experience and they walk out of the hospital with a child they were expecting, if indeed they go to hospital in the first place. There are lots of initiatives under way at the moment to try to improve maternity outcomes in the uk. The reason for that, however, maternity outcomes in the uk. The reason forthat, however, is maternity outcomes in the uk. The reason for that, however, is because we are not as good as many of our european neighbours. We have heard about failures at places like morecambe bay, shrewsbury and telford. There is undoubtedly a problem at east kent, there is National Data on death rates, both stillbirths and neonatal births, that indicate this trust is higher than similar trusts across the uk. As we reported last night, there has been at least seven preventable deaths there since 2016. The Care Quality Commission went in this week foran Quality Commission went in this week for an unannounced inspection because they had concerns about ongoing maternity services. They have also started a criminal investigation into the care that the trust provided in harrys case. What the trust are saying is that if there is a pregnant woman in that area that has any concerns, they should contact their midwife. Michael, many thanks. There have been two confirmed cases of coronovirus in france this evening, the first to be identified in europe. In the uk, authorities are trying to trace 2,000 people who have flown from wuhan in china, where the virus orginated, into the uk in the past fortnight. The chief medical officer says that 1a people whove already been tested in the uk for the illness have been given the all clear. In china, travel restrictions have been widened as the death toll climbed to 26, and hundreds more were infected. Heres our medical correspondent fergus walsh. Ten days from now on this waste ground in wuhan will be a brand new hospital. The extraordinary pace of building, a sign of how seriously china is taking the threat from the new coronavirus. The prefabricated building will have 1,000 beds. It is urgently needed because hospitals in wuhan are overwhelmed with potential cases. The symptoms include cough, fever and breathing problems. A dozen cities have now been quarantined, affecting more than 30 Million People. As you see, nobody here, the hotel is absolutely empty. This should be the busiest time of year for travel and for hotels, but this one in wuhan is deserted. In downing street, borisjohnson hosted a reception to mark chinese new year. The governments Emergency Cobra Committee also met to discuss the risk to the uk, which is considered low. We think that theres a fair chance we may get some cases over time. Of course, this depends on whether this continues for a long time, but i think we should definitely see this as a marathon, not a sprint. There are still some key unknowns about this virus. How contagious is it . Early case reports from china suggest people with no symptoms may be able to spread the virus. How deadly is it . So far, around one in four confirmed cases is severe. And most of those recover. It seems less deadly than sars, which killed nearly 800 people worldwide. And what is the source . Were confident the virus jumped from animals to humans, but until the source is pinpointed, perhaps bats or snakes, there is a risk of completely new infections. This is the first image of the coronavirus. Work is already under way to develop a vaccine. We can, potentially, move from years to up to 16 weeks to get a vaccine developed and for very early clinical testing, as long as all goes well. For now, the world can only wait and see what impact chinas control measures will have on the spread of this virus. Fergus walsh, bbc news. Joseph mccann, one of the countrys most dangerous sex offenders, was jailed last month for at least 30 years for kidnapping and raping women and children last summer. After he was caught, it emerged that he should have still been in prison for previous violent offences. Now, the first of his victims to speak publicly has told the bbc that shes never received an official apology, and that senior figures should be held to account for probation failings. Shes been speaking to our home Affairs Correspondentjune kelly. Held captive in this car is the first of the womenjoseph mccann kidnapped and raped. In the fortnight that followed, he targeted another ten victims. The youngest, a boy of 11. The eldest, a woman of 71, who has now spoken to us. He said, ive got a knife, ive killed somebody this morning. Like all rape victims, she has anonymity. But in this first interview by any of mccanns victims, she describes how he abducted her as she got into her car. I shouted, get out of my car and he punched me in the face. And he said, im sorry, im sorry. Its because you shouted at me. I wouldnt want to do that. Ive got a grandma. Mccann was already wanted for attacks in watford, london and lancashire when he turned up at this supermarket in greater manchester, hunting for his next victim. And it was in the car park that he punched and abducted the grandmother. He forced her to drive onto the motorway. She was kept prisoner in her own carforfour and a half hours. Mccann stopped the car and raped her. He also kidnapped a 13 Year Old Girl off the street, forced her into the car with them and sexually assaulted her. The older victim took her chance when mccann fell asleep. She pulled off into a service station. I was working out all the time while we were driving, how am i going to get out of this situation . And i knew i would not outrun him and i knew i had to get to where there would be a lot of people. So i drove right up to a group of people, just got out and ran towards them and said, abducted and whatever. The little girl got out as well. And he ran after me and wrenched the keys out of my hand and drove off in the car. Joseph mccann was eventually found hours later, hiding up a tree. It emerged that at the time he was roaming around the country raping women and children, he should have been in prison. A man with a history of violence, he had been wrongly released. Joseph mccanns case represents a catastrophic failure by the criminaljustice system. But this victim says theres one thing she hasnt received. Have you ever had an apology . Ive not had an apology. It would have been nice to have had something a bit more personal, i think. For somebody to come and see you . See me or a letter or something, you know . Just something that recognises the victims, really, isuppose, yeah. Hello following mccanns mistaken release, two probation staff were sacked, one demoted. But all those who suffered at the hands of mccann have paid the price for a system in crisis, according to this victim. Its always the front line workers that get disciplined and that Probation Office was understaffed, had low morale and that was because of the changes that had been brought in by grayling. Thats Chris Grayling . Chris grayling, who privatised part of the probation service. And i think people that made those decisions at high levels should be brought to account. In response, Chris Grayling, the formerjustice secretary, who was responsible for the part privatisation, stressed that mccann was under the supervision of the National Probation service, which remained in the Public Sector and wasnt part of any privatisation programme. And he said the problems in this case were down to the operational failure of a small number of staff. And when it comes to the lack of an apology, the ministry ofjustice says it recently began making contact with the victims. Im doing this interview because i know a lot of the other victims are not in any state to do it. Fortunately, i am. Im older. Ive had a good life and im not letting it ruin my life. Theyre all young women and children. Theyve got that for the rest of their lives. 0ne ofjoseph mccanns victims ending that report by our home Affairs Correspondentjune kelly.

Huge swarms of Desert Locusts are posing an alarming and unprecedented threat to crops in east africa, says the united nations.

From a distance, it looks Like Northern kenya is burning, but these are swarms of Desert Locusts, spreading like wildfire across the horn of africa. Just one swarm can have more than 200 million insects. These are tiny creatures flying above me. They look harmless, but if you consider that hundreds of millions of them are flying at the same time, the amount of destruction they can cause is unimaginable. Ali bila waqo tells me this is the second invasion of locusts hes witnessed in about 60 years. This time, hes lost nearly all his maize and bean crops. Translation its painful. We had no rain for several years. When it did finally rain last year, we were so happy, but then these insects have come and destroyed our crop. Weve incurred huge losses. He says he brought dozens of people here to help ward off the invasion. Elsewhere, gunshots, tear gas and whistles. People and governments across the region are desperate to save plants from being devoured. Which way are they moving in . Theyre moving this way. Yeah . Conservation groups are helping track the movement of the swarms. The kenyan and ethiopian governments are using aerial spraying to try and kill the insects, but with little success. A region devastated by years of drought seemed to have recovered when it received unusually heavy rains, but that has now brought this misery, leaving communities on the edge.
