This morning well bring you exclusive access inside a trial where people are volunteering to test an ebola vaccine. There is a lot of us who realise that there are a lot of medical issues in the world and we would like to help, but instead of giving the money to charities where we dont necessarily see exactly whats happening, with a medical trial we can see that theyre working towards something and were actually a part of it rather than just giving our money to someone of it rather than just giving our money to someone and saying, there you go. Just go and do whatever. Hello and welcome to the programme. Were live until iiam. A little later in the programme well meet a 21 year old man who says football saved his life. Hear his moving story just before 10am. Do get in touch on all the stories were talking about this morning use the Hashtag Victoria Live and if you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Our top story today, the chancellor Philip Hammond will use his first budget to help prepare britain for a new chapter in its history after brexit. Hell deliver an upbeat assessment of the economy when he stands up at lunchtime, but will admit that many families are feeling the pinch. Hes expected to find extra money for social care in england and to help firms facing steep rises in Business Rates. Heres our Political Correspondent eleanor garnier. Hes the man known in westminster as spreadsheet phil, the cautious treasury chief in charge of the numbers. So, as the chancellor does his sums, whats he got to consider . Well, the big issue thats dominating is brexit. As the uk prepares to leave the eu, mr hammond says hes focussed on keeping the economy resilient with a warning this is no time for spending sprees. Even so, there will be cash for new free schools and money to shake up vocational and Technical Training for 16 to 18 year olds. But the chancellors under pressure to spend more on Public Services with claims social care is in crisis and repeated calls for more money for the nhs plus pleas to help soften the blow for small firms hit by the change to Business Rates. But the chancellors under pressure to spend more on Public Services mr hammond might have chucked out his predecessors timetable for dealing with the deficit, but both he and the Prime Minister still believe balancing the books is the only way to ensure a stable economy thats growing. Lets get more on this from our political guru norman smith. This, i mean it is his first budget. It isa this, i mean it is his first budget. It is a big deal . Well, you might think it would be, but i suspect its going to be a bit like the weather here, damp, drizzly, dull, something youre not going to remember and the reason for that frankly is he just hasnt got any cash because he is still having to deal with a great deficit. We spent Something Like 60 billion mds more than we had last year. Our debt is £i. 7 trillion. So there is no cash around, but also, there is the brexit factor. Mr hammond wants to keep any money he has got spare back in case things get difficult down the road with brexit which means well get some little bits and pieces. There has been talk about help for social care because of all the terrible headlines weve read about the problems in social care, but it is not going to be much and i think well have to look carefully whether that money has just come from cuts elsewhere. Similarly, Business Rates. We know the Business Community have been up in arms about the huge hike in local Business Rates that many traders are facing. I think youll find there is only a little bit of help for some particular high street traders who have been hit hard. So there will be a few bits and pieces, but my thinking this is going to be a sort of mother hubbard budget. There isnt much cash in the cupboard for mr hammond to hand out. Annita mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. Lord heseltine has been sacked as a Government Adviser after rebelling in a vote over brexit. The former conservative deputy Prime Minister backed calls for a meaningful parliamentary vote on the final terms of withdrawal, inflicting a second defeat in the lords for the government. Ministers say theyll seek to overturn the move when the bill returns to the commons. Heres our Political Correspondent, chris mason. Many of your lordships. Just like ken clarke in the commons, lord heseltine was determined to remain vociferously pro european after the referendum, just as before. It ensures that parliament has the Critical Role in determining the future that we will bequeath to generations of young people and i urge your lordships to support the amendment. But, hours later, he learned he had been fired from five government advisory roles. This is not myjudgement. This is the Prime Minister exercising her perfectly legitimate right to get rid of opposition in any way she thinks appropriate and i respect that right. Whether its the right and the wise thing to do is a matter for her, not for me. His sacking illustrates Downing Streets determination to pointedly press ahead with brexit. Next week the bill heads down the corridor, back to the commons. Will conservative rebels there be up for a fight . I will continue to believe that that is the right thing to do, for there to be a vote in both houses, deal or no deal and, if i have to vote against my government again, i will do it. Weve discussed, deliberated and scrutinised both of these issues before, at length, and we still declined to accept the amendments that have been passed in the House Of Lords. Weve heard no new arguments. Theyve come up with no new ideas so i expect the House Of Commons to pass the bill unamended. Whatever happens next week, the Prime Minister does remain on course to be able to begin brexit negotiations before the end of this month. A former head of the cia has said an apparent leak of thousands of the agencys files is incredibly damaging. The documents, which have been published by the website wikileaks, appear to reveal attempts to hack into Electronic Devices to gather intelligence. 0ne file suggests the cia and mi5 had discovered how to record conversations using a microphone in a Samsung Smart tv even when it appeared to be turned off. The cia have refused to comment on the documents authenticity. But the agencys former director, Michael Hayden said he was very concerned. This seems to be an incredibly damaging leak in terms of the tactics, techniques, procedures and tools that were used by the Central Intelligence agency to conduct legitimate foreign intelligence. In other words, its made my country and my countrys friends less safe. Police searching for missing raf gunner Corrie Mckeague are investigating whether a bin lorry is linked to his disappearance. The vehicle was spotted near where the 23 year old was last seen and carried a much heavier load than first thought. A search of a Landfill Site in cambridgeshire is underway. Mr mckeague was last seen on a night out on 24th september. A british backpacker who was allegedly held captive for weeks and subjected to repeated sexual assaults, has been released from hospital in australia. The 22 year old woman is being comforted by herfamily, after being found on sunday. A 22 year old australian man has been charged with a number of offences, and has been remanded in custody. The number of women getting top jobs at Sporting Bodies is declining, according to a report out today. The women in sport study found just under half of organisations have failed to meet new government guidelines calling for senior positions to be 30 female. Katie gornall reports. The profile of Women Playing Sport has never been higher. But step off the pitch and into the boardroom, and progress is more limited. Today, the Charity Women in sport released an audit of 68 National Governing bodies receiving public money. They found that nearly half didnt meet the new target of 30 Gender Diversity on their boards including those in football, cricket, rugby and cycling. Nine had no women at all in Senior Leadership roles, while one organisation, the british tae kwon do council, has no women in any leadership position. Public investment in sport, in any sports organisation, is dependent on organisations reaching the standards of the code. So anybody who isnt able to reach them, or doesnt have an adequate plan to do so, wont be able to attract public investment. The fa has long been criticised for failing to move with the times. Faced with having millions of pounds of funding cut, this week it proposed reforms to appoint more women to its board. England hockey also needs to diversify, although their ceo told me they will have no problem meeting the new government target. We will, over time, as Board Members leave, look at recruiting people that still meet the skillset, but enable us to meet the recommendations within the guidelines. We will, over time, as Board Members leave, now, they are being told to better reflect the people who fund them. Chocolate bars like kit kat, yorkie and aero will contain 10 less sugar by next year. The manufacturer nestle says sugar will be replaced with higher quantities of existing ingredients or other non artificial ingredients and claims it could have a Significant Impact on Public Health.

He posed with one boy under a portrait of his election rival, hillary clinton. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 9 30am. Were going to talk about spying softwa re were going to talk about spying software in your smart tv. Those claims which have comes through thousands of documents leaked to the wicky leeks website are taken as pretty credible. Well talk more about that in a second. If youre getting in touch, youre welcome. Use the Hashtag Victoria Live and you will be charged the Standard Network rate. Lets get some sport with hugh. Its Arsene Wengers future in the headlines again. Well, the pressure builds and builds on Arsene Wenger. Id love to say we should have some remorse for him after so many accolades in his 20 years at the club, but the empire he built seems to be crumbling around him. There are more calls and increased fervour for him to leave arsenal, after they were knocked out of the Champions League last 16 by german giants Bayern Munich, in humiliating fashion. A second 5 1 defeat meant they lost 10 2 on aggregate. Thats the worst defeat suffered by an english side in the competition. They were reduced to ten men on the night, but it didnt really matter in the eyes of the fans. Their Capitulation Led to chants of wenger 0ut inside of the emirates stadium, on what was a chastening night for all involved with the club. And those protests spilled out onto the streets of north london last night, with thousands of fans wet wa nt wet want you to go. We want wenger out they demanded an answer from their greatest ever boss, Arsene Wenger, who was asked if it was his final Champions League match as a manager. I dont know. You always are worried for headlines. Im here to speak about football, not about my future. What needs to change at this club, what do you mean by that . I think this club is in a great shape. At the moment it is going through a very difficult situation, but so what needs to change is the result in the next game. Iadmire his i admire his composure. All the stuff he has won for arsenal fans, all these years in the Champions League, for supporters of other clu bs, league, for supporters of other clubs, thats just, it league, for supporters of other clubs, thatsjust, it is league, for supporters of other clubs, thats just, it is untold riches, you know. The reaction is strong as well. They are the only british club to have been in the last 16 of the Champions League, fans would be wanting that record. Now he is perceived as a laughing stock. Even Bayern Munich asked, what time is it . It is 102. Bayern munich asked, what time is it . It is 10 2. Todays papers arent much different. I mentioned they are being seen as a laughing stock. The question is will Arsene Wenger stay at arsenal . Shame old story says the star. 10 2. Shame again and wenger out, thats the main message from arsenal fans. Again and wenger out, thats the main message from arsenalfans. He must be considering his future. His contract expires at the end of the season, although there is an offer on the table, the next steps will be a mutual decision between he and the clu b a mutual decision between he and the club at the end of the season. Seven seasons in a row they have been eliminated at the last 16 stage so where is the progression coming for them . Their talisman, where is the progression coming for them . Their talisman, sanchez where is the progression coming for them . Their talisman, sanchez and ozil them . Their talisman, sanchez and 0zil are likely to leave the club. He won three Premier League title and six fa cups as well, but with the Writing On The Wall for Arsene Wenger. Its the stuff of films and novels but, this morning, there are claims which many believe to be credible that the american Intelligence Agency the cia hacked into Samsung Smart tvs and turned them into living room spies. Conversations were allegedly recorded. The uks Mi5 Agency Is said to have helped. The information has been released by wikileaks. Heres how it worked. The effort to compromise samsungs f8000 range of smart tvs was codenamed weeping angel, after a doctor who character, according to documents dated june 2014. They describe the creation of a fake off mode, designed to fool users into believing that their screens had been switched off. Instead, the documents indicate, infected sets were made to covertly record conversations, which would later be transferred over the internet to cia computer servers, once the tvs were fully switched back on, allowing their wi fi links to re establish. Under a future work section, the leaked documents suggest that Video Snapshots might also be taken. Other claims in the 9,000 plus documents released include that the cia was trying to find ways to infect cars computer control systems. Wikileaks claims these might have been used for undetectable assassinations. So what kind of insight does this tell us into the work of Intelligence Agencies . What else could m15, cia and other Intelligence Agencies across the world be doing right now to spy on us . Lets talk to various people. Major Generaljonathan Shaw was the ministry of defences first head of cyber security. Annie machon, a former Intelligence Officer for m15. Peter eckersley, chief Computer Scientist for the Electronic Frontier foundation, which is an organisation defending Civil Liberties in the digital world, and troy hunt is an Internet Security expert, joining us from gold coast, australia. And we have got ben 0wen as well who used to work for m15 and he left a couple of years ago. You are the most recently employed by the Intelligence Services. What do you make of these claims about smart tvs 7 make of these claims about smart tvs . I think it probably comes as no surprise to the general public that Intelligence Services always look to enhance their technical capabilities. I cannot comment specifically on the smart tv scenario. It is ingenious, isnt it . Its certainly it is. I guess people have to comprehend that technical companies, google, samsung, sony, they forever advance their technical capabilities each year, selling them to the public, they probably do not pay as much attention to the security of these devices as they should, making it relatively easy for Intelligence Agencies and hackers in general. Can i ask you about the fact that they are infecting the tvs, which would then leave us, i am sure they are not spying on us having conversations about what we are having for our tea, but leave us vulnerable to being hacked by criminals. Of course. The issue is there is always a back door and if that is left open, there is an issue for criminality as well. What i would add is that Intelligence Agencies and Police Communities are extremely targeted in what they are looking for, it is not carte blanche. They cannot do it to everyone, it is very specific. Keeping everybody safe from very harmful people. Jonathan, do you think mere human beings, should they be reassured . do you think mere human beings, should they be reassured . I entirely agree with what Ben Owens Hasjust been saying, people should not be surprised about this. Interesting debate this morning, peter, your other guests, out right outlined the porters and people at home and attacking people overseas, to keep the public safe, which is what the public demand of the state. To do that you are all with that great paradox to infringe peoples and to protect them. And getting that balance right is the issue. But nobody should be surprised about this because this is of intrusion is exactly the sort of stuff we pay Intelligence Agencies to do in order to keep us safe, the question is where you draw the line about what is legal . How do you create the trust in the governance of this intrusion to make the public happy with the level of intrusion that these agencies have . So where do you draw the line . I am not sure it is drawn on the right place at the moment. We are seeking these vulnerabilities. The ordinary people, it isjust bugs in software. Your vote when your laptop, it has bugs, everything has this in it. Does your bones and your laptop. Intelligence agencies use these to break into the device to be devised or extreme break into the device to be devised of extreme cases, break into the device to be devised or extreme cases, getting control. What we would like to see is more of these intelligence pages help allergy is that hackers are foreign powers cannot great devices stop the Deadis Powers Cannot great devices stop the dead is more of these Intelligence Agencies and the cia and the fbi and equivalents in other countries we fully go in and break things and speaking lot slower Export Infrastructure Stock the extremes of how that can go wrong with documented several years ago when the british Intelligence Services we re the british Intelligence Services were documented to be watching everybodys yahoo video conversations, including a lot of conversations, including a lot of conversations where people were maybe being brought internet than the Intelligence Agencies had expected full and a lot of people, a private calls without mothers would be watched online. Is this what the cia and mi5 be watched online. Is this what the cia and m15 are doing, so can the Intelligence Agencies get cross about the russians the us president ial election . If so, we have yet to see evidence the russians did interfere in the election. I am concerned about this development, if we have these bugs and these problems within our domestic appliances, they can indeed and have already been hacked. We saw last year the biggest attack affecting the west coast of East Coast Of America and of western europe, which was developed over our Smart Devices and our homes, so this isa Smart Devices and our homes, so this is a real problem and the idiot you are sitting watching the television orwellian. They are not watching normal people, are they . We dont know, that is the problem, Intelligence Agencies in the uk are the least accountable and most wea Kly Accou Nted the least accountable and most weakly accounted in western democracies so we do not know what they are getting up to. Ben is shaking his head in the disagreement. With respect, i think individuals have missed the broader subject on this. My big concern Going Forward with technical capabilities of private companies is the companies. You are shaking your head in disagreement when she said we just head in disagreement when she said wejust dont head in disagreement when she said we just dont know if they are spying on people normally going about their business in their homes. Categorically from my experience, normal members of the public with nothing to worry about, they are not being watched. The Intelligence Services which do not have resources to do that, it would be a ridiculous scenario, that is not happening. Sorry, i am going to bring in troy, peter. If what you think about the Intelligence Agencies capitalising on bugs in smart tvs and not telling the companies there are bugs so they can use that, what you think . M the companies there are bugs so they can use that, what you think . It is a delicate issue, we can appreciate how valuable these bugs and beat the Intelligence Agencies and good points in eight about wanting Intelligence Agencies look after our well being. Intelligence agencies look after our well being. The offset Intelligence Agencies look after our well being. The offset is if they have identified all abilities in technology, there is a very good chance others have as well and that the other nation states, and career criminals looking to put victims. By not disclosing vulnerabilities that Technology Companies and allowing them to fix it, it puts people at risk. We are trading of a Privacy National Security issue with another issueif National Security issue with another issue if it falls into the wrong hands. So as citizens of the world, do we have to accept we are vulnerable to criminal activity for the greater good, that the Intelligence Agencies can protect us . I think we accept that now every time we collect something to the internet, whether it be a computer or teddy bear with Listening Devices these days and this is the world we live in, we want to connect everything and that will mean opportunities for criminals and for both legitimate and invasive surveillance by Intelligence Agencies as well. Can i widen this out, who is the best person to a nswer out, who is the best person to answer this, i dont know . How are other nations spying on each other . We have talked about smart tvs and we heard about devices and rocks in russia, what else . I think it was mentioned earlier saying britain is the least accountable. I would disagree, i think if we look at russia as an example, and they are extremely broad. There are no boundaries. Given the examples. I could not give specific examples of what i have experienced, but that Intelligence Services, they are fast. Tenfold Intelligence Services, they are fast. Te nfold to Intelligence Services, they are fast. Tenfold to what britain has also looking at manpower and money. They rely on hacking, and doing that ona they rely on hacking, and doing that on a broader scale than britain and america in my experience the troy, do you have an example . In terms of surveillance by russia or National States in general . Teddy bears we haveissue states in general . Teddy bears we have issue of the teddy bears as you my knowledge was not used by nation state what was a good example of how we put examples of devices in devices with microphones which in the case of the teddy bears last ended up looking very personal conversations and if everyday hackers stumble across these on the internet, nation state certainly can find them. Perhaps the best example we can talk about is the chinese use of the internet to steal Intellectual Property in order to catch what they would describe as the hundred years of suppression by the hundred years of suppression by the west. So you see all sorts of businesses in the west going out of businesses in the west going out of business because they put the r and d bassman creating new technology and the chinese still big Intellectual Property and bring products to market much cheaper and beat people and there have been examples of Wind Turbines in Blackburn Out Of Business by them backjet fighters stop an example of how the latest generation fighters, because they have stolen the blueprint by Intellectual Property theft. The chinese are much more interested with catching up is complete with the west and they have used the internet to do that so that isa used the internet to do that so that is a key part of this. Annie, most of you said we should not be surprised Intelligence Agencies use smart tvs, but what we are saying i think is that the everyday technologies that use in our daily lives smart meters in smartphones and smart tvs and cars, drones, Intelligence Agencies can use those to spy on people they want. They can, yes, and in the uk, we have a new law from the beginning of this year, the investigatory powers act, the sleepers charter, giving spies in the uk massive powers to hack into our appliances as the hoover information and store it for a set period of time, which is very much out of proportion from what we expect in terms of our privacy within the uk, as opposed to protecting our security. The fact that these Intelligence Agencies, the cia and m15, have developed these hacks and identified vulnerabilities in technology and not blasted the companies which the cia legally obliged to do ever since the snowdon releases isabel, showing they are working in the belly of accountable manner. Thank you, all. Interesting insight, thank you. Karen has e mailed, the cia wants to collect, analyse and disseminate foreign intelligence, criticising them for doing theirjob, i am tired of hearing the paranoid mind about Security Measures are why this amazement about what Intelligence Agencies get up to this remark is surely no thinking person is in doubt about how Technology Surveillance creeps deta deep into our lives, i hope we can control this. Lawrence says, i have never trusted my towcester i think it has got it in for me. Towcester. Still to come i talk to a man who says football saved his life, after the sport helped him cope with Mental Health issues, following he tried to take his life many times. And you will really want to hear from the young man. And they act as First Responders in syrias civil war. They have saved nearly 80,000 people. Back they have saved nearly 80,000 people.

The chancellor, Philip Hammond, will use his first budget today to deliver what the treasury has said will be an upbeat assessment of britains economic prospects, while acknowledging that more austerity lies ahead. Hell stress that the government wont shirk difficult decisions on tax and spending to deal with the deficit, although hes expected to find extra money for social care in england and to help soften the impact of changes to Business Rates. Lord heseltine has been sacked as a Government Adviser after rebelling over the legislation that will allow theresa may to begin the process of leaving the eu. The government suffered a second defeat on the bill in the House Of Lords yesterday after peers backed calls for a parliamentary vote on the final deal. Speaking in the last hour, lord heseltine said it was a great disappointment to have been sacked but he had to vote according to his conscience. In the end europe is the transcending issue of our time and you have always to decide in public life if you have a vote in parliament where that National Interest lies and to me, it lies in the sovereignty of parliament and i therefore must vote in order to preserve the sovereignty of parliament.

The budget is meant to update us all on the state of the economy, the uk governments Spending Plans and how they plan to pay for them. The chancellors decisions will affect all of us. Heres our political guru norman smiths guide to what to look out for. Hes been dubbed spreadsheet phil, and thats because mr hammond is a man with an eye on the bottom line, a cautious chancellor. I regard myjob as chancellor as making sure that our economy is resilient, that weve got reserves in the tank. But no budget comes without at least some giveaways and handy headlines. So heres five top tips. Some giveaways and handy headlines. Social care its groaning at the seams. So, stand by for an Emergency Injection of more than £1 billion. But no budget comes without at least some giveaways and handy headlines. So heres five top tips. Social care its groaning at the seams. So, stand by for an Emergency Injection of more than £1 billion. And there will be a promise of yet another Government Review of how to pay for our ageing population. Labour, however, are already promising a fight over the issue. A Million People arent getting the care they need. And family members, mostly women, are having to give up work to care for loved ones. Every day that the Prime Ministerfails to act, this crisis gets worse. Business rates, shops have been on the war path over a hefty hike in their bills, so expect help for some small high street traders who have been hit hardest. Grammar schools will get the official go ahead, with cash to build new selective free schools, able to pick and choose pupils on the basis of their academic ability. T levels, a new, Simple Technology qualification doing courage of youngsters to acquire skills and trades. The hope that t levels will be seen as just as good as a levels. And finally, austerity, theres more of it, and its going to last until after 2020, with benefit freezes, pay caps and future cuts of up to 6 . Labour are demanding a different approach. I think this government lives in a different world from the rest of us. People are suffering at the moment, stagnating wages, prices increasing because of inflation, insecure work, cuts in Public Services. Hes got to address those issues. All in all, its going to be a careful, cautious budget. And that is notjust because Philip Hammond is that sort of chancellor, but because, as a nation, we are still heavily in debt. So lets talk about some of the key issues social care, education, Business Rates and the gig economy where people are employed on temporary short Term Contracts or freelance work as opposed to permanentjobs. To speak about Business Rate Hikes are lyn knights, who has a 165 year old Clothing Business in southwold and alex pose gil, who owns londons buckingham Coffee Lounge and is seeing his rates go from £11,000 to £22,000 a year. Carly hobbs is Self Employed as a make up artist, tanner and beauty writer and says expected Tax Increases for the Self Employed mean more hours for her. She can talk about the gig ecomony. To talk about the chancellors widely trailed announcement on free schools, we have geoff barton, a secondary School Headteacher whos with us from ipswich, and to discuss the anticipated announcement on social care, ex head of the association of directors of adult social services, ray james. Welcome all of you. Were going to talk about Business Rates first. What are you expecting in terms of your rates going up . |j what are you expecting in terms of your rates going up . I hope theyre going to go down. Do you . Yes. Do you think thats likely . Well, there isa you think thats likely . Well, there is a little murmur about it. That the chancellor will put extra cash for people who are expecting a big hike . I hope so. Were up in arms. Southwold is a wonderful place. It Isa Southwold is a wonderful place. It is a lovely seaside town and it is because of house prices. A beach hut goes for £160,000. Which is obscene, but it is a beautiful place. But that means the rates in the shops go up. Weve got all the chain Stores Coming into town now and theyre paying £60,000, £65,000 in rent. Now, who can afford that . The local shops are closing. Are they actually closing . Well, the shoe shop has gone and there is murmurs that people will close and go because they cant afford it. Alex youre in a similar position. Youre worried. There are plenty of businesses where the rates are going down . |j there are plenty of businesses where the rates are going down . I agree with that. It is a different business model. Were in central london, we have to be competitive with what we have got around us. There are people outside of london, warehouses have been put to me, but were not the same playing field. Yes, were still business and we have to pay everything, but they have to pay everything, but they have the advantage of playing the law and they can be away from where ican. I law and they can be away from where i can. I rely on foot fall. If i am know not there, where do you want me to be . Central business will be without the friendly businesses. Thats not going to exist in london anymore. So, i mean, what impact will there be on your business if there is no relief from the chancellor for you today . In preparation ive made cuts. One of them, one of my Staff Members wants to go back to studying so ive reduced her hours. Sol to go back to studying so ive reduced her hours. So i have been lucky in that respect, but i cant cut anymore. Ive cut my own pocket as much i can. Im in the lucky position that i have a good family behind me, but it isjust my sole income, i would behind me, but it isjust my sole income, iwould have behind me, but it isjust my sole income, i would have to consider closing down. Seriously. You have written to the chancellor and you have sent him a postcard . written to the chancellor and you have sent him a postcard . i sent a video to the Prime Minister at christmas time. Ok, have you had any response . I have had a letter back from her thanking me for the video, but nothing about the rates. I sent a card with a picture of shop and sent the letter, please help us. Fingers crossed. We will see. We will see. Lets talk to karly, you have Self Employed as a make up artist, a hair stylist and tanner, you have been doing that for three yea rs. You have been doing that for three years. In terms of the decision to be Self Employed. Tell us about that . My background was on glossy womens magazines and that was competitive and there were a lot of redundancies and i decided to open a Portfolio Career and train in all the areas, i work four different jobs because i still write about beauty well. In terms of the changes that are coming to me, although i work a lot of hours every week, it is going to mean working even more hours. Because youre expecting National Insurance to be put up and thats going to hit you as a Self Employed person . Thats going to hit you as a selfemployed person . Yeah, thats right. For me, it seems unfair, while those are going up for Self Employed people which a lot of people are becoming even if they are on zero contract hours, it is like being freelance for them. There is no support of if im poorly, i need to ta ke no support of if im poorly, i need to take time off or further down the line if i want to have a baby, maternity, there is no bufferfor me there. Ok, i mean that is what is, you know, were expecting that from the chancellor. So youre going to have to absorb that . Yeah, im going to have to absorb it. Im going to have to budget harder and save more of my earnings and chase clients. Thats another thing for Self Employed people, although you get the work aye do lovely photo shoots, chasing clients for money ta kes a shoots, chasing clients for money takes a long time, it is not a regular pay cheque every month so im really going to have to be careful with my budget and how i manage my finances. Ok. Thank you for that. Lets talk to geoff barton about education and then well talk to ray james about social care the more money going into Funding School places, some of it will be going to fund new Selective School places. What do you think of that . Well, we will wait and see what the chancellor actually says this afternoon, victoria, but from what weve read so far, reminding ourselves that school are the places that society passes on skills and values to the next generation, at a time when we know weve got £3 billion worth of funding cuts in real terms. It will feel a bit rich particularly to taxpayers if it looks like a pot has been set aside for Vanity Project for something which has got no evidence behind it and which hasnt been consulted and which may do damage to Social Justice. A Vanity Project, the words used by the shadow education secretary. There is a demand from some parents for more Grammar Schools and more selective education for their children . We dont see the evidence for that. There are good Grammar Schools in the country at the moment, but it seems not unreasonable that we should say before £321 million is put aside, there should be a sign of what the consultation is saying, we havent had the outcome of the consultation. There should be evidence and there should be a real sign that this is going to help the poorest children because what we know is those £3 billion worth of cuts that ive talked about are likely to hit the most Disadvantaged School and the most Disadvantaged School and the most Disadvantaged School and the most disadvantaged communities the most disadvantaged communities the most and a government that talks Social Justice really most and a government that talks socialjustice really should put that into practise. Are you seeing an impact of tightened budgets in your own school and if so, in what way . Definitely. We have a loan of £150,000. That doesnt mean that were going to make that money back by not paining the corridors. It is not about not buying textbooks. The only way you can make savings is by reducing the number of teachers and the way you do that is by increasing class sizes and by putting fewer courses on. It will drive a scism between those schools where parents can between those schools where parents ca n afford between those schools where parents can afford it make contributions and those that cant and it is the Disadvantaged Schools who this government should be fighting for who look, if the information weve been given so far is right, they are the ones who will be hit hardest by £3 billion of cuts over the coming yea rs £3 billion of cuts over the coming years at a time when we know 284,000 secondary places will be needed. Ray james is here. He is former head of aduu james is here. He is former head of adult social services. The government is expected to inject £1. 5 billion into the social care sector, thats looking after elderly people, people with disabilities in the community . Yes, so what will be really good to hear today is the growing recognition that the number of people needing care and support is growing in future years and that the cost of providing care will increase. Frontline care workers deserve the living wage and that will increase the cost of providing ca re will increase the cost of providing care so will increase the cost of providing care so the funding from government needs to keep pace with the growing demand for and the growing cost of care. This will plug a shortfall for the moment stop mac we need genuinely new and additional money. Moment stop mac we need genuinely new and additional moneylj moment stop mac we need genuinely new and additional money. I am fearful it might be existing money brought forward rather than new and additional money, and a commitment to finding a longer term and sustainable solution in terms of funding and National Policy stop mac it does not matter what political party, it seems difficult to come up with something long term and sustainable. Because we have elections every couple of years. What are the holds in provision . The biggest areas are care homes closing for the first time despite an ageing population, there are more care homes closing on opening and in many parts of the country, especially rural areas, being able to recruit the front Home Care Workers to provide care and support in homes is becoming increasingly difficult. Good look to you all, you will all be watching and listening. The coach macro will stand up later. Thank you very much. Good luck with your businesses the chancellor. Next, id like to introduce you to 21 year old james casling. Three years ago, he was sectioned in a psychiatric hospital, having tried to take his life countless times, following the suicide of his own father. He says football saved his life and, last night, he was invited to parliament to speak publicly for the first time about his experiences. His talk was moving and inspirational, and hes agreed to share it with you too this morning, hello, james. How are you . All right, thank you. In your own time, james, read out what you said the Parliament Last night. My Parliament Last night. My story started three weeks after my 18th birthday when i was admitted to Park Royal Centre for Mental Health. I had become so all that for me, life was not worth living and 18, i was ready to die and had made many attempts on my own life. If i had carried on down that path, i would not be here today. Something had to change, i had to stop destroying myself and build myself up destroying myself and build myself up again. That is when football and qpr and the Community Trust came in and change my life. One morning, tom, the Occupational Therapist, woke me up and asked if i wanted to play football and of course i said yes. I didnt really expect much at first, but i realised i had no peace soi first, but i realised i had no peace so i rang my mum and asked to get me some so i rang my mum and asked to get me some boots. Within an hour, she got me a pair. I did not realise if my mum did not buy me those boots, things might never have changed and imight things might never have changed and i might have lost my life to my Mental Illness. All right, take your time. All right, take your time. All the time in the world. So every week, i would attend training and it gave me hope for the future that i could be someone my family and my friends could be proud of. To me, it was not just football, friends could be proud of. To me, it was notjust football, it was my life. It gave me stuff to build on. Instead of destroying. I had become stronger and every week, i would put so much effort in that i could not walk for days afterwards. It changed me intoa walk for days afterwards. It changed me into a better man and it made me wa nt to me into a better man and it made me want to stay alive so my mother and brothers would not have to bury me. Instead, they could say to everyone, my son and my brother plays for qpr. They have done amazing things, qpr. My they have done amazing things, qpr. My biggest achievement would be in my first three seasons at the club, i was top goal scorer, every time i put on the kit, i was not a schoolboy any more, i was james, i was free my demons. Unfortunately, others are not so lucky. I made a 20th 2010, i lost my father to suicide. 0n 20th 2010, i lost my father to suicide. On my 15th birthday. But i have taken the good from the bad and i have met amazing people and travelled to places to play football, i get to meet people. For a young boy like me, losing my dad left me confused in this big world. Idid not left me confused in this big world. I did not have any sense of direction. I met my coaches, and nathan and they helped me find my way. They stood in my corner and the support i had from them was amazing. Just so thankful they came over. They showed me that i am with something and i am lucky enough to know them. We can never stop people getting mentally unwell, but we can help them recover with the use of football. It worked for me and many others that i have played for and against and with. Football saved my life. Well done. Well done. That was magnificent. All right . Do you think it is important to speak out . People are suffering in silence because they dont have someone silence because they dont have someone to look up to and say enough is enough, we have got to change. People are mentally unwell and they are seen as an people are mentally unwell and they are seen as an outcast from society. 0nce are seen as an outcast from society. Once we start breaking down the stigma, people will come out and say they have got problems. And sharing isa they have got problems. And sharing is a good thing . Yes. Because people sit in their rooms, wherever, and they just sit in their rooms, wherever, and theyjust think sit in their rooms, wherever, and they just think about stuff too much. That is why we have such a high suicide rate, because people dont want to get help and speak out. But if one person shares, other people will follow that example. I have a Mental Illness, it is nothing to be ashamed of. It is like any other illness, you can get better from it. What does playing football do for you, james . How does it make you feel . It isjust like you step on the field, the pitch, and just have a ball actual foot and just to be focused. Because it is not always about you because you have got to work as a team. And you want your tea m work as a team. And you want your team to do well and you know you have got to play well yourself, so your focus is on have got to play well yourself, so yourfocus is on being have got to play well yourself, so your focus is on being the best player you can be at that time. You are relying on your team mates and they rely on you, and it is that sort of belonging to something. When i lost my dad, i had lost all sense of belonging and i still had my mother and brothers, but itjust, its really out of control. I didnt have anything, i felt like its really out of control. I didnt have anything, ifelt like i belonged to nothing. But i put on my kit and i played with my friends and it feels like we are notjust friends, we are family. it feels like we are notjust friends, we are family. I know your mum and the Mental Health Football Association support you speaking out today. Some people will never have heard of the organisation, can you tell us about their work . It only recently started, three years ago. That is when i started playing and it grew from there, conor, the founder, really nice guy, i have played against him and had nice chats, and it isjust played against him and had nice chats, and it is just about being able, as we were saying yesterday, networking with different clubs who have Mental Health teams. So there is one place they can all go, they can go, ifancy is one place they can all go, they can go, i fancy a game, is one place they can all go, they can go, ifancya game, and is one place they can all go, they can go, ifancy a game, and they show you the right direction to go and your closest route to joining in and your closest route to joining in and stuff like that. It has helped a lot of people in the time it has been running, it in three years. May i read your messages from people who have just listened to you this morning . This tweet, a Brave Young Quy morning . This tweet, a brave young guy, i morning . This tweet, a brave young guy, iam morning . This tweet, a brave young guy, i am sending him a hug. Julie says, a qpr fan, football saved his life, brave bloke, top man. God bless him, take is real courage. Thank you so much, james, for being brave enough to share this. April says, in tears watching this brave young man and your programme, people often get is as suicide risks, people need more and better intervention. Brave lad for being so honest. Can you remember what your State Of Mind was when you are first sectioned . I disappointed. I was in sucha sectioned . I disappointed. I was in such a dark place that life was not worth it. To me, i was in so much pain that the carry on and like it was going to hurt more than to bend my life. It is a scary place because people are like, are you afraid of dying . But you are not afraid of dying . But you are not afraid of dying . But you are not afraid of dying. That is scary because what are you afraid of . If you can take steps to end your own life, there is not much that is scary to you. But to sit in a room, i have done it countless times, and just be left alone with my thoughts, i think that is what kills people. It is not sadness, it is their own heads telling them their life is not worth it. When in fact, it is. There is not always going to be a light at the end of the tunnel, you have got to be your own. That is what i mean. I have stood up and i have said, i cant live like this any more. I cannot live until the next time a self harm or try to kill myself. I wa nt to self harm or try to kill myself. I want to actually live. I am 21 now. I have got a good 40,50, 60 want to actually live. I am 21 now. I have got a good 40, 50, 60 years ahead of me. So from the age of 15, i wanted to die. And that is not a way to live your life. How lost were you when your dad died . He took his own life. It was like my whole world had just disappeared. The one person. He was supposed to be the strongest person in the world, in my eyes. He had gone. I did not have that father figure. And my mum had to step up and do the two jobs. But i figure. And my mum had to step up and do the twojobs. But i have a lwa ys and do the twojobs. But i have always wondered why he would do it. And why my love for him was not enough. But then i realised that if somebody is like that, i could not have saved him. I think that hurts a lot more to note that there is nothing i could have done to prevent it. It is like your whole world gets turned upside down. You just cant explain it. Yes. You have explained it. You have explained it. What do you think about . You said you have 40,50, 60 years, you think about . You said you have 40, 50, 60 years, what you think about . You said you have 40,50, 60 years, what do you think about . You said you have 40, 50, 60 years, what do you you think about . You said you have 40,50, 60 years, what do you think about in the future . I wish i could predict the future but obviously, we cant. It is looking a lot brighter thanit cant. It is looking a lot brighter than it was. A couple of months ago. Years ago. As i said, i cant, i have to accept there is nothing i can do to change my situation, i have just got to be strong. And i have just got to be strong. And i have got to help people come out of their darkness. I think that is the future, for me, it isjust to help other people, out and speak up about their problems and say, do you know what, for me, i have got borderline personality disorder, i have that, but that is not me, i am still the same boy before he died and i will be the same boy that i am when i die. Cani can i read some more messages, james . Phil says this dont stop what youre doing. Thank you for sharing your words and for your courage today. Julian says, what a top bloke. Im sitting in my hotel room in tears. Peter, im so proud of you. Honoured to be your coach and to call you a friend. Hashtag qpr family. Oh. Thank you very much for talking to us. Thank you for talking to our audience. I do not under estimate the strength it took for you to do that and i really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you very much, james. Thank you. James mum and the Mental Health Football Organisation supported james speaking out. You can find organisations offering support at Annita Mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. Good morning. The chancellor, Philip Hammond, will use his first budget today to deliver what the treasury has said will be an upbeat assessment of britains economic prospects, while acknowledging that more austerity lies ahead. Hell stress that the government wont shirk difficult decisions on tax and spending to deal with the deficit, although hes expected to find extra money for social care in england and to help soften the impact of changes to Business Rates. Lord heseltine has been sacked as a Government Adviser after rebelling over the legislation that will allow theresa may to begin the process of leaving the eu. The government suffered a second defeat on the bill in the House Of Lords yesterday after peers backed calls for a parliamentary vote on the final deal. Speaking in the last hour, the former tory deputy Prime Minister said it was a great disappointment to have been sacked but he had to vote according to his conscience. In the end, europe is the transcending issue of our time and you have always to decide in public life if you have a vote in parliament where that National Interest lies and to me, it lies in the sovereignty of parliament and i therefore must vote in order to preserve the sovereignty of parliament. A former head of the cia has said an apparent leak of thousands of the agencys files is incredibly damaging. The documents, which have been published by the website wikileaks, appear to reveal attempts to hack into Electronic Devices to gather intelligence. 0ne file suggests the cia and m15 had discovered how to record conversations using a microphone in a Samsung Smart tv even when it appeared to be turned off. The cia has refused to comment on the documents authenticity. But the agencys former director, Michael Hayden said he was very concerned. Police searching for missing raf gunner Corrie Mckeague are investigating whether a bin lorry is linked to his disappearance. The vehicle was spotted near where the 23 year old was last seen and carried a much heavier load than first thought. A search of a Landfill Site in cambridgeshire is underway. Mr mckeague was last seen on a night out on 24th september. Some of the uks biggest sports, like cricket and football, are still failing to meet Government Targets on female representation on boards. The report from the Charity Women in sport suggests nearly half of Sporting Bodies have not met the target of 30 Gender Diversity in the boardroom and theres been a decline in the number of women in senior positions. A canadian town has apologised after its Water Treatment plan turned the water supply pink. The mayor of 0noway in alberta said there was no Public Health risk but the town could have done a better job communicating what was going on. He said it was the unfortunate side effect of a common Water Treatment chemical, potassium permanganate, commonly used to remove iron from water. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news.

Arsenal suffered a humiliating exit in the Champions League last 16. For a second time they were beaten 5 1 from german giants Bayern Munich meaning they lost 10 2 on aggregate thats the worst defeat suffered by an english side in the competition. They were reduced to ten men on the night with boss Arsene Wenger saying he was revolted by the referees performance on the night. The Capitulation Led to chants of wenger out inside of the emirates stadium. And those objections spilled out onto the streets of north london last night with thousands of fans protesting. We wa nt we want you to go. Arsene wenger we wa nt we want you to go. Arsene wenger we want you to go. They demanded an answer from the clubs greatest ever boss, who was asked if it was his final Champions League match as a manager. I dont know. You are always worried for headlines, im here to speak about football, not about my future. What needs to change at this club. What needs to change at this club. What do you mean by that . I think this club is in great shape, but it is going through a very difficult situation, so what needs to change is the result in the next game. A sad night for Arsene Wenger. England didnt have muchjoy against german opponents either. They lost 1 0 to germany, in the she believes cup. Anya mitaarg with the goal for the european champions in the final match in washington. France won the invitational tournament. The first half we were a bit disappointed with ourselves. We set out to do what we had done. The second half, we got to grips with the game and that was much more the england that we want to be. I think we put germany on the back foot and it came down to fine margins and germany took their chance when they got it and we didnt unfortunately. The number of women getting top jobs at uk Sporting Bodies has dropped by 6 since 2014. The Women In Sport Group calls the findings of their study extremely concerning. Under a new rules coming into effect next month, organisations must have a 30 female representation on their boards, or risk losing funding. Englands director of womens cricket is clare connor. The opportunity to host a world cup in any sport is a pinnacle time. Its something that all the athletes, all the players aspire to be part of. As administrators it is a huge opportunity for us to promote our game a huge opportunity for us to promote ourgame to as a huge opportunity for us to promote our game to as many a huge opportunity for us to promote our game to as many people as possible. We will be taking the tournament around the country, starting with englands opening game in derby on 24thjune. To have that opportunity to take our team and the sport and the trophy around the country, to try to inspire girls to pick up bats and balls for the first time Isa Pick Up Bats and balls for the first time is a wonderful opportunity. Almost a once in a lifetime opportunity. We havent had the world cup in this country for 24 yea rs. World cup in this country for 24 years. So a huge amount has changed since that time. Were really looking forward to making the most of that opportunity. The womens cricket world cup launched today. We will be focussed on the budget after 11am, but you can keep up to date with the Sports Stories on the website. Thank you. Before any new medicine can be given to patients, detailed information about how it works and how safe it is must be collected. This is done through clinical medical trials. And without volunteers to take part in the trials, there would be no new treatments for serious diseases such as cancer, Multiple Sclerosis and arthritis. But one disastrous drug trial at a London Hospital in 2006 threatened to derail that system. In what became known as the elephant man trial, six healthy young men were treated for Organ Failure after experiencing a serious reaction within hours of taking the drug tgn1412 in a Clinical Trial. After they were all admitted to intensive care, two became critically ill. The worst affected lost his fingers and toes, and all the men were subsequently told they would be likely to develop cancers or auto immune diseases as a result of their exposure to the drug. They described feeling like their brains were on fire and their eyeballs were going to pop out. So, why would anyone want to take part in such a trial now . Researchers in the uk are currently part of a worldwide effort to develop a vaccine for ebola, should another outbreak occur. 0ur reporter, catrin nye, went to visit the oxford vaccine group, a place where they are constantly looking for volunteers to trial new vaccines. Henry is a student in oxford one of the people trialling the ebola vaccine. Hes in for a blood test. Reporter how many blood tests have you had so far . Probably about six or seven, Something Like that, over the whole course. Thats very brave. Not too bad. Youre ok with needles then . Yeah, i dont mind them. This is a phase two trial, looking at the response of the Immune System in a large group of people, and looking at safety. Participants can either get a placebo, so a saline injection, or they get two different ebola vaccinations. I had some slight fever and chills afterwards, which is an indicator that i had had a vaccine rather than a saline injection. Henry will get paid around £450 in total for this trial. Hell come here more than a dozen times. I get paid about £45 a session every time i come in. As a student, you know, you cant complain. He wont actually be given ebola, thats too dangerous. There was definitely an aspect of, its quite a current issue. You see it in the news every day, the statistics. How many dead in west africa with new infections or Something Like that. It was definitely a motivator to want to help out. You did some decent research to find out the risks involved in the trial. Just to make sure i wasnt going to get ebola, as a lot of my friendsjoked. So, i did researchjust for Peace Of Mind for myself. 2014 saw the biggest outbreak of ebola in history. In west africa, 11,000 people died. The viral illness starts with sudden fever and intense weakness but can lead to horrific bleeding, sometimes from the eyes and ears. There was a vaccine available when this happened but it hadnt been tested in humans. Thousands of miles away in oxford, thats whats happening now. When were in the laboratory, dont touch anything. How many different samples have you got . So we have 106 samples today. Why wasnt the vaccine tested . The vaccine hadnt been tested at the time of the Ebola Outbreak because there wasnt really a mechanism to fund that process. There wasnt a commercial argument for development by the Pharmaceutical Companies. So, it wasnt until it was a big problem that public funding came in. Exactly. What hes basically saying is the Pharmaceutical Companies dont have much incentive to pour research and Development Money into a vaccine that will be used mostly in poor countries by relatively few people, like one for ebola. It wasnt until public money was provided that research could continue. The Ebola Trial Running Here Today is funded entirely by the european commission. There must be a constant difficulty, or a constant struggle, to know that maybe tens of thousands of people have to die for someone to put the money in to develop a drug. People have to die. I think we are in such a different position now, where we have a Global Recognition that there are a number of other diseases, like ebola. Now there are mechanisms being put in place to make sure we are no longer in a position where we have the potential to make vaccines but no one has actually done it yet. One of the reasons it can be so difficult to get volunteers for Clinical Trials is that when they go wrong it can make headlines worldwide. One of the most famous being a private trial at Northwick Park in london in 2006 in what became known as the elephant man trial. Six healthy men were treated for Organ Failure after a severe reaction just hours after taking the drug they were testing. The worst affected lost his fingers and toes. These are the trials we often hear about, rather than the successful ones happening here today. Anyone that takes part in a Clinical Trial here needs to go through a screening process. Because of various requirements, and the fact that some trials need very healthy volunteers, around half of people wont make it through that screening. The Research Team here allowed me to sit in on one of those screenings to see how it works. Marias also a student in oxford and has come to talk about a Typhoid Trial. There are already two existing licensed vaccines against typhoid, but theyre only around 60 effective in adults and far less so in children. This trial is much more serious than the ebola one because shell actually be given typhoid and then treated for it. Because the study involves us deliberately infecting people with typhoid, we have to be fairly strict about who we enroll in the study. Its also important that anyone we do enroll understands exactly what it involves and the risks associated with that. We obviously do a screen for hepatitis b, hepatitis c and hiv. There you go, you get a health check as well. Today, marie and i are learning about the process, the risks and what the study is trying to establish. In this study, we are going to be randomly allocating people. You wont know which and i wont know which. When we challenge people with a normal strain of typhoid, about two thirds of them develop symptoms of illness. Youre giving some people a strain of typhoid and some people the same strain, minus one toxin. Yes. To look at the effects of that toxin. Yes. And then with a view to seeing if that could be used in the vaccine. Yes. Crucial here is that marie does not spread typhoid into the general population, so shes also given strict instructions on hygiene during the trial. This is, of course, a big undertaking for marie. Researchers here say it is crucially important that people like her do take part in these trials. They are always recruiting. They currently need 60 more people for this Typhoid Trial. The biggest challenge is finding people who will take part in the studies that involve quite a Time Commitment to work with us but, actually, the benefits are that it can transform the health of our population and globally in the future. Marie will get paid much more for this Typhoid Trial than the ebola vaccine. Shell have to come in for tests much more, every day at one point. How much of a motivation is the money . I would do it even if the money wasnt there. Theres quite a lot of us who realise there are a lot of medical issues in the world and we would like to help but, instead of giving the money to charities where we dont necessarily see exactly whats happening, with a medical trial, we can see that they are working towards something, and a cure, and we are a part of it, rather than just giving our money to someone, saying, here you go, just go and do whatever. So, for you, this is a very, very direct charity. Yes. Lets speak now to bob berry, a 60 year old lung cancer patient who was given 18 months to live, but has been left with no trace of the disease after going on a trial of a new drug which hadnt been tested on humans before. And to nicola murrells who, october 2014, was given just weeks to live after being diagnosed with bowel cancer. She was involved in a six month trial of a drug called imm 101. Hello, both. Bob, tell ouraudience, you are given 18 months to live, three years ago, what happened . was diagnosed with lung cancer, the first part of it was having my lungs taken away at wythenshawe followed by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, another dose of chemotherapy. And none of those worked. I was then referred to the Clinical Trials at christies. What were told about the strokes trail . Pros and cons and i first went through the cons and i thought, do i want to put myself through this because i have escaped side effects from the chemotherapy already, or radiotherapy . And i did have a bit of a hiccup at first, but they did reassure me and said they we re they did reassure me and said they were so they did reassure me and said they were so minor, they have just got to tell you but the chances are you would not be affected. What you think of what has happened . Well, an absolute miracle that is what it is. It is amazing, it really is. In terms of how you feel and your health now, how well do you feel . To be honest, i have neverfelt ill from the start to the finish, from when i was first aid nose to where i am now. No side effects whatsoever. I have been very lucky. It is really interesting to hear from you. Nicola, back in 2014, you were told you had about nine weeks to live. Last year, i was told i had nine weeks to live. It was last year, my mistake, sorry. After being diagnosed with bowel cancer. First, how did you do deal with that diagnosis . I am a mother, i have a little girl who is four and my natural instinct was to think about herand it was natural instinct was to think about her and it was heartbreaking to think she will call out for me at night and think she will call out for me at night and i will not be there, and had you explain to a four year old mummy has only got weeks left to live . It was a real shock to the syste m live . It was a real shock to the system and since i have been diagnosed, which was originally in 2014, i have had a strong belief i would survive, and instinct, so to hear the news, was devastating for my husband, my mum, my brother, my close family and friends, it was awful. The drugs you were involved m, awful. The drugs you were involved in, the drugs trial, had been tested already on other humans, what were you told about what it might do for you . There is no promises with a drugs trial, as there should not be. When you get to the stage you are classed as terminal, your appetite to try something new changes and drastically increases. So for me, it was about, i have a strong belief in immunotherapy and boosting and giving the body the tools to do the job, so the trial was immunotherapy based and the drugs i am taking, they are also immunotherapy based. There was a risk of Autoimmune Disease and i also knew there was a chance it could help me. And i really. I am still here, i did not die after the nine weeks. My disease has stabilised and i have got a 20 reduction in tumours which for me, asa reduction in tumours which for me, as a mother and a wife, i am 42, it is unbelievable. Do you know how the drug has worked on you . Can you explain . It stimulates your Immune System. It sends your Immune System into overdrive. Different parts depending on different drugs. One pa rt depending on different drugs. One part acts as a vaccine and tries to contain the cancer. Immunotherapy booster is about your body recognising the cancer and being able to detect it and destroy it. It is based on giving your body the tools to do the job. It knows. Our body does not know how to fight back with cancer. Thank you so much, nicola, it is good to talk to you. Thank you very much. Bob, continued good health, keep on keeping on absolutely, yes.

His mum was backing him coming on and the mental Mental Health Football Association backing his decision to speak out. The Crown Prosecution Service has been forced to look again at its decision not to prosecute a far right activist with links to nazi sympathisers whose comments had included saying england should be freed from jewish control. His name isjeremy Bedford Turner this is him speaking at an event in london in 2015. Step back, close our eyes and look at the world as it really is. Look at the world as it really is. Look at the world as it really is. Look at the problems in this world and look at their source. Lets call a spade a spade a dog a dog a rat a rat tony bloom work tony blair, a well criminal sort it out the legal action was brought by the campaign against Anti Semitism, who say theyre increasingly concerned that the cps is failing to take antisemitic crime seriously. They say of the over 15,000 hate crimes prosecuted by the cps in 2015, only 12 were prosecutions of anti semitic hate crime. With us now is our legal correspondent, clive coleman. Rabbi laura janner klausner, from reform judaism. And gideon falter, chairman of campaign against Anti Semitism, who brought the legal action against the Crown Prosecution Service. Clive, the background first of this man and what else he was saying. You have a flavour of it. He said, it was a long speech, he said that the French Revolution and the first and second world was, they were massacres that were perpetrated by the jewish people, massacres that were perpetrated by thejewish people, that gives a sense of the speech. What happened was that the Crown Prosecution Service, there is evidence because the speech was filmed and it has been posted on youtube and it has been posted on youtube and it has been transcribed. With that evidence, the Crown Prosecution Service decided they would not prosecute him for incitement to racial or religious hatred there then an application for a victim is right of review, a right any potential victim of a potential crime has to ask the cps to reconsider that decision, and they will apply their normal tests and they will look at the evidence to see if there is a realistic prospect of conviction and if so, whether it is in the Public Interest to do so. Having declined to prosecute and the claims the requests for a victim right to review, the campaign against Anti Semitism looked to bring a Judicial Review, to review both decisions. I understand this week, before that, they were successful and before the full Judicial Review was to take place, the cps agreed to get a Senior Lawyer to review the original decision not to prosecute. The reason, they say, is they have advice from a Senior Lawyer in relation to the consideration of the Human Rights Aspects of the prosecution and it was that that forced them to rethink. More broadly, can i talk with you two about anti semitic hate crime generally and the figures i mentioned in the introduction from 2015. Gideon, what sort of a year was that for anti semitic hate crime . We rely on Police Statistics and it was the worst year on record, we do not have on the statistics for 2016, but there was a 26 rise in anti semitic crime and within that, anti semitic crime and within that, a 51 rise in violent Anti Semitism. We seen the continued shift from anti semitic hate speeches and incitement to actual acts of violent Anti Semitism. For there to only have been 12 prosecutions for Anti Semitism that year is absolutely staggering. Why do you think that is . I dont know why, i am listening to the important thing that it has doubled and that is very worrying. It also needs to be taken in context, that dues live in britain very happily and safely mainly and we know that the mainstream Community Security trust who live with the police, they happy beta for all asian ships and they do get taken extremely seriously. When you look at those figures, one would expect more prosecutions and a higher number than 12. Yes, and something that is interesting is the Community Security trust complained about this individual and they were also told, we are not going to prosecute. We work very closely with the home office and Downing Street and none of that helps when you get to the lower levels of the machinery, so the police who were surrounding him when he made the speech outnumbered him by 15 1 and they failed to make an arrest. And they failed to make an arrest. And they failed to realise a crime was taking place in front of them until we reported it. The Crown Prosecution Service, supposedly there to do with these cases, it is abjectly failing to bring prosecutions and we are constantly contacted and in this case it was unusual because i was there and i was the victim and i was able to make that complaint. And i assumed that as the person who runs the Reading Campaign against Anti Semitism in the uk, iassumed this would be taken very seriously and acted on and the fact is, we have had to fight for nearly two yearsjust to get have had to fight for nearly two years just to get this point. We have to say alleged crime. The Crown Prosecution Service, it is a Balancing Act, it is a difficult Balancing Act, it is a difficult Balancing Act. There is article 10 of the Human Rights Act which gives the right to freedom of expression. That has to be balanced against article 17 of the act which prohibits someone from exercising rights if they are going to be extinguishing the rights of others across the Human Rights Act. It is a Balancing Act for them, but they have obviously taken on board the fa ct have obviously taken on board the fact that they didnt give enough contribution to article 17 and they will be look at that now in carrying out the Balancing Act. In the middle ofa out the Balancing Act. In the middle of a balance you have this image of a woman of justice, of a balance you have this image of a woman ofjustice, especially on International Womens day, holding those two scales and my question is when you have that balance, what is our Prime Minister saying in order to weight that balance in a certain way . And when someone says, i mean, the most unsubtle, pew trid anti semitic lies, you dont need a lot in the balance, but what you needis lot in the balance, but what you need is that stabiliser, the pillar in the middle that holds the scales ofjustice to give clear messages. So one of the reasons maybe, and i dont know, that the cps didnt move forward with it, is that there hasnt been a Strong Enough message and particularly now, when we have seen and particularly now, when we have seen what happened with the casey review. The casey review has shown ina way review. The casey review has shown in a way that we have never seen before how parallel, how separate, how enclave so much of britain is and it has shone a light particularly on White Working Class areas where hate crimes, speech and crimes are up. So what we see is a total change in the balance in britain and were out of balance at the moment because we have brexit and that is shaky and it makes us feel anxious and we see more expressions of hate across the board and so when i look at why this may have happened, ithink, what needs to happen in the future, who is holding us in the balance . And the narratives and the enforcement needs to be much stronger. A final word. There are two main questions that need to come out of this. The first is how on earth was it necessary that we should have to take this action in orderfor the cps that we should have to take this action in order for the cps to reconsider its decision . Why is it thatjews have to fight so hard to obtainjustice . Thatjews have to fight so hard to obtain justice . Why do you think you have to fight harder than others . Anti semitism, i dont believe in the hierarchy, but Anti Semitism is different and Anti Semitism casts jews not as inferior, it castsjews as superior, you heard whatjeremy Bedford Turner said there. As superior, you heard whatjeremy bedfordturner said there. There is something acceptable about that abuse . A lot of what jeremy Bedford Turner said was directed atjewish conspiracy as the state of israel for example. People, not just conspiracy as the state of israel for example. People, notjust on the far right, but also on the far left and also islamic extremists use this coded language to refer tojews and i suppose the second question that comes out of this as well, which is important, is that the cps got this point of law so badly wrong for two yea rs point of law so badly wrong for two years until they hired a senior qc to defend the case and he told them that they just couldnt win. Thank you all. Thank you very much for coming on the programme. Thank you. Women in ireland will be protesting on the countrys total ban on abortion.

Heres some sport now with hugh. In sport, Arsene Wenger remains defiant after his side were knocked out of the Champions League, 10 2 on aggregate against Bayern Munich.

They deny breaking anti doping rules. Thats all from me for now. Ireland has a near total ban on abortion, meaning thousands of women every year travel abroad for a termination, with others breaking the law by taking Abortion Pills. Today, women around ireland will protest for a change in the law. They want to see a referendum on the issue in the mainly catholic country. 0ur reporterjoel gunter has been talking to women in dublin affected by the abortion policy. This woman was 20 weeks pregnant when she was told her baby had a fatal abnormality and was likely to die before she was born. I sat down and i kind of planned out her life and everything that she was going to do, and all the love i was going to have for her. Claire wanted to have an abortion, but she lives in ireland where abortion is illegal unless a womans life is at risk. She couldnt afford to pay for a termination abroad, so she was forced to wait five weeks for her daughter, alex, to die in the womb. I knew she was getting weaker and i knew she was going to die. I couldnt get my head around how i was going to go through with it. How physically, emotionally and mentally was i going to actually cope. Thousands of irish women every year travel abroad for a termination, or take illegal Abortion Pills ordered online. Women across ireland will take part in protest today to call for the repeal of the 8th amendment, irelands constitutional ban on abortion. Despite the 8th amendment, women are having abortions here every single day. The reason that were taking this provocative stance is because our government is 50 years behind where progress should be. 0n the other side of the debate, one of the largest pro life groups, youth defence, uses graphic abortion images to get its message across. Why are you still using the kind of shock tactics we have here today . Well, because they are the reality of abortion. People dont see them anywhere else. These are children. They are as human as you or i. Just because their lives are short, that doesnt mean their lives are any less worthy. And that their lives should be ended. A recent poll suggests more people in ireland support legalising abortion in limited circumstances, rather than for all women. Pro choice mp Ruth Coppinger said she feared the anti abortion laws would be watered down rather than scrapped. The constitution is meant to be of broad statement of what a country stands for. It shouldnt be dealing with womens bodies. My generation was prevented from changing the 8th amendment but this generation wont be. Campaigners at this meeting of pro choice parents know they face an uphill struggle. They said they would continue fighting to give their daughters the choice they were denied. Abortion is only legal in ireland if the mothers life it at risk, and not in cases of rape, incest or foetal anomaly. Having one carries a 14 year prison sentence. We can speak now to niamh ui bhriain from the life institute. Theyre based in ireland, and campaign against abortion. Also with us is aoife frances, from strike4repeal, in dublin, which has organised todays planned action. What is the significance of whats happening today . So, we launched the campaign in the end ofjanuary and we are calling on the government to give us a date for a referendum to repeal the eighth. We have been waiting for decades and we have been organising for decades and so obviously the date for the referendum wasnt given so today we are going on strike and we are having action all over ireland and all over the world to demand that the government gives us the date for the government gives us the date for the referendum. What do you think of this action today . Well, think it is very important that your viewers understand that there is no strike for repeal. The Media Coverage of this campaign is just for repeal. The Media Coverage of this campaign isjust akin for repeal. The Media Coverage of this campaign is just akin to fake news. We hear a lot about fake news and this is a prime example it. If anybody understands what a strike is, it is when people collectively leave their workplace without the authority of their employees, without pay, to agitate for better conditions. What the Abortion Campaigners have called for in ireland is that people take a paid days leave or wear black or do Something Else and theyre calling that a strike for repeal. It is no such thing and the Media Coverage of this isjust typical of such thing and the Media Coverage of this is just typical of everything Abortion Campaigners do in this country is covered enthusiastically and eager by by the media here and abroad. They dont reflect the reality of the situation. This is not a strike for repeal because the organisers understand they wouldnt get anybody to come out on strike. Are you saying there is no demand foran amending of are you saying there is no demand for an amending of the abortion laws in your country . In the case of a woman what has been raped and becomes pregnant, in the case of somebody who is the victim of incest and becomes pregnant. It would be illegal to have an abortion in both those circumstances . Well, i think it is very interesting when you look at the polls, victoria and they are bad news for the people who are campaigning to repeal the right to life of unborn children because what were seeing is that despite the enormous amount of money were seeing is that despite the enormous amount of money thats come in from abroad for the Abortion Campaign in ireland and despite the Media Support the polls show that support for repealing the eighth amendment has actually fallen and i understand that there are circumstances that are very difficult, and everybody feels for women who are pregnant in these difficult circumstances, but ma the majority of irish people see is there is always a better answer than abortion. Abortion kills a bye by. Baby, it abortion. Abortion kills a bye by. Ba by, it hurts abortion. Abortion kills a bye by. Baby, it hurts a woman. We could do better than reverting to abortion. Why do you believe it is right to force a woman to have a baby, a baby thatis force a woman to have a baby, a baby that is conceived because the woman has been raped . This is a very difficult situation, nobody wants to become pregnant after being raped, i understand that. Why is it ok to force women to carry it out . I am answering your question. I am carry it out . I am answering your question. Lam not carry it out . I am answering your question. I am not trying to force anybody. The legislation does. If you would let me finish, victoria, i am trying to ensure womens support received the support they need. Up received the support they need. Up to 80 of women in any given year who become pregnant because of rape do not look to have an abortion and women have said what they need in these circumstances is Long Term Support and care. Sorry, can ijust finished . They also acknowledge one reason they do not look for an abortion is they see their baby as an Innocent Party as well, so we need to protect and love them both rather than looking to kill a child isa rather than looking to kill a child is a solution to a crisis in pregnancy. How do you respond to that . I did not think we would be talking about fake news, anyway. The strike today is symbolic and follows symbolic strikes around the world, we have as people to take an annual leave day which people have, thousands of students and parents have organised. We have over 50 regional groups in ireland and the world, from aberdeen to argentina so that thousands taking part today, so not sure what the significance of the point about the strike was, it isa the point about the strike was, it is a social strike. We would not as people to work into their workplaces because that is not an industrial dispute. But there is a huge amount of support. In terms of the comments about rape and incest, i dont feel like that and so was sufficient. 4,000 women a year travel from ireland to the uk to access abortion, that is 12 women a day. I dont think she has the right to speak on behalf of women and what they choose to do because women are already making this choice, irish abortions happen, women who live here travel to the uk and thousands more get abortion help. These abortions already happen and we need to support womens rights to choose and make sure the abortions are safe and make sure the abortions are safe and accessible because they are already happening. A couple of points to go back on, irelands abortion rate in contract to britain is very low and has been falling for the last 11 years. One in every five babies in britain is aborted before birth and in ireland, that is one in every 20. If we adopted the british model of abortion, we would see an increase of 10,000 abortions every year and increase of 10,000 abortions every yearandl increase of 10,000 abortions every year and i know from going door and my organisation is doing a Massive National canvass on this issue and most reasonable people would tell you they dont want more abortion, in my view, any decent person should not want more abortions to take place. They say this precisely because they recognise that our two people involved in any pregnancy and they want a model created where we look after both mother and baby. People never seem to grasp this reality and they do not recognise the humanity of the baby, and science and medicine says that cannot be denied. That our two human beings involved in every pregnancy and if we want to be progressive and compassionate, and i believe this country does, we need to look at solutions to care for both mother and baby instead of all the same, lets kill the child. Thank you, both. Todays the day where the man in charge of government finances the chancellor, Philip Hammond updates us all on the state of the economy, the uk governments Spending Plans, and how they plan to pay for them. The chancellors decisions will affect all of us. So whats he got in store . Norman is in westminster. A grey day in westminster and that is possibly appropriate as it might be a great budget. You normally get a big drum roll and promises of all sorts of policies and announcements, quite the reverse this time. The attitude is almost, move along, please, nothing is happening here. The reason, the chancellor believes there is no spam money around. That comment . Lets discuss that with labourmp comment . Lets discuss that with labour mp wes streeting and former chief whip mark harper. It is a choice the chancellor is making, he could find the money for Public Services struggling, through taxes, borrowing, taxes, but he does not wa nt borrowing, taxes, but he does not want to. The chancellor made it clear early in the week that although the Economic News may be reasonably upbeat, we are still running a deficit. He does not have suddenly spare. He may have the ability to borrow more money but as he said, because your credit card limit has increased, you do not have the run up more debt, that is how we got into the Public Finance mess. We have been borrowing for years and we face a crisis now in social care, so why does he not step in . The government already has made available more money for social care, both directly and enabling councils to increase the social care precept part of the council tax, but as he pointed out, some local authorities deal with social care really well and do not have severe problems, others not so well. Part of it is about money and part of its spending money most effectively. The labour response seems to be to keep borrowing and borrowing. That is our message today, there are areas the government needs to invest in property tree care because per head spending in the nhs is going down in coming years although pressures are going up because of the ageing population, and schools in my constituency face budget cuts. Budget is determined the priorities of the government and by any measure, people across the country. Spending in realterms measure, people across the country. Spending in real terms on health and education are going down when they should be priorities. Maybe the chancellor is being canny, brexit is down the road and we dont know what it will be like when we leave and the impact on the economy so leave and the impact on the economy so maybe he is playing it cautious and keeping money back. Some of the cuts he is making now, particularly around health and social care act, will have longer term impacts the costis will have longer term impacts the cost is more. You are right to talk about the looming backdrop which is europe. Just last week, the former conservative Prime Ministerjohn major argued the government has set us on major argued the government has set usona major argued the government has set us on a course with a different economic model, so we can no longer afford Public Service the way we could, and even George Osborne said the House Of Commons the comment has chosen not to make the economy the priority. If i was Philip Hammond against a structural weakness in the economy, pressure on finances, and brexit, and would be very worried. Is the reason Public Services do not get money because of fears of what brexit means . No, we have protected spending on the Health Service and schools in real terms, so we are investing for the future. I am very pleased the chancellor is cautious and the public want a finance minister who is cautious and careful with their money. Thanks very much. Iam with their money. Thanks very much. I am seriously concerned for the well being of the white rabbit because it looks like this is the first budget in a long time when we dont see any thank you very much. The Royal College of midwives is calling for more midwives to be trained to specialise in bereavement as, at the moment, there is no mandatory training for maternity staff to deal with the issue and no nationaljob specification. Thats despite around 15 babies dying before, during or soon after birth every day in england and wales. And in the uk in 2015, one in every 227 births was a stillbirth. We can speak now to laura wyatt who, last night, was named midwife of the year. Shes been a midwife for 16 years and was nominated byjodie vaughan, whose first son died whilst she was in labour in 2015. Laura went on to provide antenatal care during jodies very anxious second pregnancy. Jodie is in cardiff now with her eight month old, henry. Hello, thank you for coming on. Jodie, how did laura help you . She helped immensely asafamily laura help you . She helped immensely as a family going through such an awful time. She helped with very small tasks, two massive things that we could never have done it by ourselves. From the funeral arrangements to supporting, supporting and chasing nationals and helping others and being there for us and laughing with those and crying with ours. And just being her caring self, really. Without her, but would not have had my necklace with my ba bys but would not have had my necklace with my babys fingerprint, archies fingerprint. So she hasjust with my babys fingerprint, archies fingerprint. So she has just been immense and she helped us through a pregnancy with henry and hopefully for future pregnancies as well. Any timei for future pregnancies as well. Any time i was worried all scared or anxious, about anything that would happen in pregnancy with henry, she helped me and got me a scan as soon as was possible. Let me bring in laura. From whatjodie has described, it is a practical side of things, it is very much the emotional side of things. Yes, absolutely, and doing things at the pace of the parent, not to overwhelm them. They are going to a process of immense grief. So it isjust sometimes a case of going, going three things time and time again will stop at their own pace. And they need, then needs for the funeral arrangements. Getting the fingerprints forjodies necklace. Little things. That was jodies idea, but i did it. Just those little practical things that you wa nt little practical things that you want to make it a bit easier for the parents during their immense grief. Have you had that Specialist Training . I have been very proactive myself with regards to going on bereavement training courses. I have done counselling courses, so it is something i have been very proactive m, something i have been very proactive in, the Royal College of midwives has a learning package, to develop by role, so i have been very proactive with regards to bereavement ca re proactive with regards to bereavement care and i am very much involved in the Maternity Network in wales for the bereavement subgroup andl wales for the bereavement subgroup and i am very lucky that i have got and i am very lucky that i have got a head of midwifery and Senior Management colleagues that really support my role. What does this would mean to you and the facts jodie nominated you . To win the regional was absolutely amazing, but to win overall still in a bit of shock, i think. To win overall still in a bit of shock, ithink. Forjodie to win overall still in a bit of shock, i think. Forjodie to even explore, and think that is what, it was that gut feeling. Yes, jodie felt that i have given her the care that she wanted. Bless them. Parents, it is unbelievable. And well done to the other nominees as well, i think we all do a greatjob.
