Up to 140,000 Vulnerable Children did not receive the help they needed last year because their situation was not judged to be serious enough, according to action for children. The charity has found thousands of young people referred to social services did not end up getting any support before their case was closed. The government says its reforms will improve the situation. Marc ashdown reports. Debbie has been working in Childrens Services for 16 years and helps families with anything from Behavioural Problems to domestic and substance abuse. But she says its become harder to provide the support they need. Ive got, across the sites i run, ive gotjust under 2,500 under fives and three members of staff, so as much as we do, theres a lot that we cant possibly do because we cant be everywhere at once. The more theyre taking. Were already aware of families that were not picking up in the same way and its only going to get worse from that. A Freedom Of Information Request to local authorities found that last year, 184,500 childrens needs assessments were closed because they fell short of the criteria for support. The Charity Action for children says only around one in four families received Early Help Services such as Childrens Centres or Domestic Violence programmes. We know from too many cases that if were not able to help children early, that there are strong likelihoods that things will get worse for them. For example, in serious case reviews, 70 of the time we know that there have been Early Warning signs of the likely outcomes. But we also know that if we give children and families the tools to help themselves much earlier, then theyre much more likely not to need help later on in any case. The local Government Association blames Government Cuts for squeezing services. But the Department For Education says its taking action to support Vulnerable Children by reforming social Care Services and better protecting victims of Domestic Violence and abuse. It says councils spent almost £8 billion last year on childrens social care, but it wants to help them do more. Marc ashdown, bbc news. Pakistan is celebrating the 70th Anniversary of its creation as a sovereign state. There were fireworks at midnight to mark the moment of partition from india at the end of British Colonial rule.

Experts have suggested removing soot and repairing the bell in the clock could change the frequency of the soundwaves and even the length of the bong. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 930am. Lets get some sport with hugh ferris. Lets start with athletics and a string of medals over the weekend saw Great Britain reach their medal target. How do we rate their performance . If you had asked me on saturday morning i would have said not particularly brilliant, but now you are asking me on monday night i would say quite impressive. The medal target was 5 8 and so they got six in the end, and four of those came over the weekend. Five in the last 48 hours if you include mo farah, but the womens four by 400 metres have the won a medal in each of the last five championships. And then there was a bronze for the mens quartet. Martyn rooney on the last leg there. The relay medals papered over the cracks, some would say, after it was a disappointing championships and till then, but they have been very much investing time and money on the relay squad and it has paid dividends. It is a very young team, as well. You have to look at many fourth place achievements by Young Athletes who will use this as a Jumping Off Point for what will come in the next three yea rs. How did tom bosworth get on in the 20 kilometre walk . Many people remember him from the Victoria Derbyshire programme when he came out as being gay, a very emotional time for him a couple of yea rs emotional time for him a couple of years ago, and it was very emotional for him yesterday, he was disqualified while leading in the 20 kilometres walk. You basically get three red cards and then you are out, and there he is, he was devastated. He had to be disqualified from the race. He was very upset afterwards. This isjust the beginning. These bad days happened but they make the good day s taste really good and the support ive had from everyone, im sorry. Ive had from everyone, im sorry. Ive let them down and i can get a medal, but i know i can get a medal one day. I wont be complacent, ive got to work hard and come out and show what eichenried do. Such a shame, but he will go on to bigger and Better Things few show what i can really do. And usain bolt and m0 farah said their goodbyes yesterday . Usain bolt was given a piece of the 2012 track, the lane in which he won the 100 metres five years ago. He has said he will now spend time having some fun. Not like he hadnt had any for the last ten years for the mo farah departed with strong and angry words, saying part of the media had tried to destroy his legacy, concerning his relationship with his coach alberto salazar, who is being investigated by the us anti doping agency. He has not been accused of anything wrong in terms of doping, but mo farah was not pleased that his legacy might be tarnished. I will still keep fighting and working hard and making my country proud, and im proud to be british and put my gb vest on and do it for my country. You can write what you like, but at the same time, im a Clean Athlete and as long as i sleep well at night and laughing my children, showing whats right, that is what counts loving. Children, showing whats right, that is what counts loving. He is so going to be known as Mohammed Farah 110w. Away from the athletics, there was an unlikely winner of golfs uspga tournament. Yes, his name isJustin Thomas. He was known for his sartorial elegance, but he is an american. And this is one of his six birdies on his final round 68. Trust me, that was one of his six birdies. He walks away, and then he finds that a gust of wind is on his side and in it goes. It was very dramatic, at 1. 5 players shared the lead. At one point five players. He is one of a new group of americans, along with the likes ofjordan spieth, who failed to become the youngest ever player to win a golfing grand slam. They are good friends and they will bea they are good friends and they will be a real challenge to the likes of rory mcilroy in the years to come, but once again a new winner of a major tournament. Watch out for Justin Thomas and his 14 seconds putt. Thanks forjoining us. 0ne One Person has written to us to say, why dont they close the bars at airports, it isjust why dont they close the bars at airports, it is just profits that keep them going. Each traveller could buy in airports but not be allowed to have it until they land at their destination and it would be much easier to ban it altogether, they say. Let us know what you think about thinking on planes. Drinking. 11 years ago today james ward was given a 10 month minimum prison sentence. He is still inside and still has no release date. He is serving whats known as an indeterminate sentence called an ipp imprisonment for Public Protection. Labour introduced them in 2003 and thought they would apply to a few hundred serious violent and sexual offenders. But they were used far more widely. Ken clarke when he was thejustice secretary called them a stain on the Criminaljustice System and abolished them. But 3,300 remain in prison. Lets talk to zoe conway whos been investigating this for us. We will be discussing self harm within this section of the programme, so you may find that upsetting and distressing. Imprisonment for Public Protection was brought in by labour in 2005 but abolished in 2012. It wasnt retroactive which means there are still thousands of people in prison on the sentence. At its peak there we re on the sentence. At its peak there were 6000 Ipp Prisoners. Now there are 3300. 85 of them have already served the minimum sentence or tariff. This is what is called the punishment bit of the sentence. Theyve already done that bit of the sentence and yet they are still in prison. In terms of how over the tariff they are, we are looking at 465 prisoners who were given two yea rs or less, 465 prisoners who were given two years or less, who are now serving many more years than that. 465 had served at least five years on top of that tariff. We are talking about some people who have served an extraordinary length of time. 48 prisoners have in fact served more than ten years over their minimum. They might have got in the case of james ward, ten months. And yet 11 yea rs james ward, ten months. And yet 11 years later, he is still in prison. This is what is causing such concern amongst prison campaigners. This morning we heard from Nick Hardwick the chairman of the parole board and he is urging the government to act. Hes been calling on them for the last year to get a grip on this. He wa nts to last year to get a grip on this. He wants to put the burden of proof on the state, on the present system, to prove that these prisoners still pose a serious risk. At the moment you get towards the end of your tariff, you have to show a parole board you are no longer a risk. Many people including ken clarke and Nick Hardwick, also including michael gove, are saying how can a prison prove they are no longer a risk . It has to be up to the state to decide that. Nick hardwick feels the parole board has made some progress, 900 people have been released in the last year but now its up to the government to move things along. Why is it taking so long . There are many reasons but part of the problem is because there are so many more people in prison than was ever in visit, the system cant cope. They are supposed to be able to access courses to reduce their risk, there are huge Waiting Lists for these courses. Then they have a parole board hearing, they have to do another course and they get stuck. Last week, i spent time with the family of james ward last week, i spent time with the family ofjames ward who went to visit him in prison. I spent the day with them and we filmed with them. It was rather distressing because james has been self harming. This film contains some quite distressing scenes. Its been a while since we have seen him last. It is. I dont think we have seen him this year. No. Bill and Christine Ward are preparing themselves to visit their son in prison. He has been locked up for the last 11 years. He has been self harming. They dont know what to expect when they see him. Its been hellish. It really has. I think this is the worst year i have ever done with james, because it is touch and go, kind of thing. One minute hes up, the next minute he is down. He is like us, he doesnt know where he is. Whenjames was 17, he went to prison for a yearfor assault. Near the end of his sentence, he set fire to the mattress in his cell. For doing this, a judge gave him an ipp, or imprisonment for Public Protection, and said he should serve a minimum of ten months. 11 years later, he is still inside. He has no release date. It really does get to you, you cant sleep at night. You get up, have a cup of tea, it still doesnt go away. It never goes away. I cant remember when i proper laughed, the last time i laughed. The last time you laughed . Yeah. I cant remember. I dont know what it is like to have a good time anymore. James wanted to write to us but he is not allowed pens because he stabs himself with them. So a nurse wrote his words down. I was rushed to hospital last week as i cut up and lost a lot of blood. I am still on constant watch. I feel ill treated and im still not getting anywhere after all these months. I have spoken to my sister recently and she was in tears because of my self harming. I owe my life to her. Even if not to myself. I am trying so hard to stay as strong as possible but i couldnt promise her that i wouldnt do something stupid. He shoved a pen in his arm so he went to hospital for that, just for the blood poisoning. Basicallyjames is saying that when he is crying out for help, he is not getting any and that is why we are so dedicated, you know, to getting him home because we have got 100 dedication. James isjust a number to them, you know, he is family member, he is my brother, we can look after him, we can get him the right help, you know, and every day we could be with him and step by step we can get him there. In order to be released, Ipp Prisoners must prove to a parole board that they are no longer a risk to society. That might sound straightforward but many have struggled to access the programmes designed to reduce that risk. The system has struggled to cope. Some people watching this will say, he must have done things in prison to deserve him being kept there this long, that this 11 years has to be for reason, it has to be his fault. I cant stress enough how untrue that is. A mattress fire, you know, a piece of paper has been set on fire, james has chucked his bed about around his cell a little bit. This does not, i cant stress enough, hes not dangerous, he has never been violent in the 11 years in prison. The officers said that they never feel unsafe around james. James Parole Hearings have been delayed repeatedly because the Prison Service has failed to carry out Vital Mental Health assessments. His upcoming hearing in september is more than a year behind schedule. I dread getting up in the morning because i dont know what is going to be coming that they, what is going to happen. Is there going to be a knock on the door, is there going to be a phone call or whatever . A phone call to say what . Took his own life and that is what i believe he will do. If we cant get him out, i think thats what its going to be. That he will take his own life . Yes. Eventually. He will do, eventually. He will do. Because he dont see any way out. I cant. This is the first Visit By James family since he returned from hospital. James feels so unsafe on the main wing here at garth prison that he deliberately behaves badly to get himself to put in the Segregation Unit. The Chief Inspector of prisons wrote a damning report about garth earlier this year. It was called very unsafe and the Segregation Unit was said to be fellow prisoners seeking sanctuary. Some had severe Mental Health needs. The Living Conditions were very poor and the staff overwhelmed. He is not sleeping, he has lost weight. Pippa carruthers has been representing james for the last six years. She says key paperwork is still missing. So the parole board is meant to meet on the 6th of september, how optimistic are you that the board is actually going to be able to make a decision about what to do with james . We are now less than a month away from the hearing where potentially the parole board will still not have the information it needs in order to make a thorough realistic decision about whetherjames can be managed in the community. A further knock back, particularly in circumstances where i will have to explain to him that some of the reasons are because of things that havent been available or done thoroughly enough or made available to the parole board will be extremely difficult for him to understand and to take. James family may have got used to hearing about his self harming, but they are unprepared forjust how ill he looked on the visit. Weve got in there, james looked absolutely terrible. His skins yellow, he has lost so much weight. His self harm is unbelievable. And they are just leaving him there to rot. He cannot cope with prison. This is notjust about Mental Illness, he cannot cope in there. He was on a wing, he thought he was doing 0k, they found out he was a ipp prisoner and that makes them vulnerable and then they want him to do silly things and if he doesnt cooperate with them, they bully him. So hes had separate himself against which means causing problems, causing trouble so obviously that looks bad for the fact that he has to misbehaves to get himself in the block, to protect himself, and then because he is on constant watch because of the self harm, hes literally sat behind a cage like an animal where they walk past and point and laugh at him. How is that humane . How is that human rights . Lets talk now to james wards sister april who we saw in zoes film. Lisa ullah, whos brother also called james is on an ipp. He was given a 4 year sentence for robbery, but hes served 11 years. Mark day is from the Prison Reform trust and john podmores a former Prison Governor as we saw in the film there, james is in a really bad place in prison right now. You feel he is in a vicious cycle. Definitely. Hes lost all hope. Hes got nothing left. Hes drained, he cant take any more. The hardest thing to accept is that james is doing nothing wrong. Hes not got a Mental Illness to put him in hospital, but hes self harming and they say hes got a personality disorder. Nobody seems to want to help james reform and get better. M help james reform and get better. M he getting any treatment . No. He guessed tablets for adhd but apart from that he gets no help. Hes in segregation because he says he doesnt feel safe on the wing. He gets bullied. The prisoners dont lift you up, they target the fact you are suffering and that is very disturbing. Has he had a formal assessment of his mental state . No, we are still waiting for the assessment. That is why parole has been put back. Not only do psychiatric assessment, the Probation Officer hasnt done any reports or care plans. Theyve known for nearly three years that his pa role for nearly three years that his parole was coming up, its a year over tariff so he should have had the parole a year ago. Its been knocked back after knock back, theres only so many times you can play with a mans freedom. He cant cope there. Because hes not fully mentally unwell he cant be hospitalised but hes at the point where he cant cope with prison life and hes self harming because of having no hope. Hes fallen through the net and how should that be allowed, that james is left to rot in prison because he doesnt fit a category . This is a mans lies, they should be doing something for him. And if they dont want to, give him back to his family and let us deal with james and his problems. Im no specialist but surely the fact that james is getting these anxieties and problems because of prison life. James is getting these anxieties and problems because of Prison Lifelj hear what you are saying about the fa ct hear what you are saying about the fact he wants to be out of the, he wa nts to fact he wants to be out of the, he wants to be put into isolation to get out of where he is so he behaves ina way get out of where he is so he behaves in a way that gets him put in there. From the perspective of the prison authorities, if he is behaving like that and hes on one of these orders that and hes on one of these orders thatis that and hes on one of these orders that is about Public Protection. They are minimal crimes. James is getting three years for doing minimal Crime Spot Parole Officers need to understand the environment hes living in. Hes never been violent, the Prison Officers have never felt unsafe around him. Hes not a risk to the public. What does he do to get sent there . He basically throws things around his cell and that is against the rules and he is put in segregation, and he remains there even when he is allowed to be out, he keeps himself down there because he cant cope in the hostile environment that it is in prison. Your brotherjames is also in on an indeterminate term. He was sentenced to a four year ipp in 2006 and he still remains now. 12 years in april, he was alongside other Co Defendants and one of those got four years and did two years and one of them got five years and did two and a half years and another one got out Early Release ten months down the line and the last one got a 12 month supervision. Why did he get the sentence he got . He is not an angel, he had a troubled upbringing, and im not saying what he did was right, he should be punished but the crime should reflect the punishment. Hes not a murderer or a rapist or a paedophile, he has not done anything severe to be in this position. But these people are being released before an ipp prisoner. He is not a dog. He is a family member, my brother, someone cares about him. He is notjust there brother, someone cares about him. He is not just there to brother, someone cares about him. He is notjust there to be brother, someone cares about him. He is not just there to be forgotten about. They are pushed further and further in the system and they are left to rot. And that is where the Mental Health issues become a problem. Neither of you say that they should not have been punished. James coppinger ipp for ten months for setting fire to a mattress and that happens daily in Prison Stash James got an Heather Heyer. They need support, they are not animals. The same with his parole, it is not his behaviour holding him back, but the authority dont have the care plans in place for him to be released, he needs the care plans and the psychiatric report in place for him to be released. These were introduced because of Public Protection and he did plead guilty toa protection and he did plead guilty to a crime of studio involving knives . A crime involving knives . I dont think where knives has come from, i dont know anything about that. The way you get put down the block, setting fire to the mattresses and pieces of paper, james did that, he was then released from the abh and was given the ipp for the mattress fire, and the only thing that has occurred is for him being bullied, he cant cope and he sets fire to pieces of paper and he messes up sets fire to pieces of paper and he messes up the cell annie refuses to come out of the cell. And he refuses. There are many people in prison on these. They were meant to affect a small number of people but have gone on to affect thousands of people. How come they have been used so widely . When they were introduced in 2005 there was no proper planning to resource the sentence and predict how many people would end up coming under it. What was planned for about 900 people, turned into several thousand inmates and what this meant was that there wasnt the offending behaviour programmes available in prisons. And also the parole board wasnt equipped to deal with this numberof wasnt equipped to deal with this number of indeterminate sentences. How can you tell if someone is a threat to the public, in terms of sentencing . This is part of the problem, when the sentence was created it could be imposed on a very long list of offences either violent or sexual very long list of offences either viole nt or sexual offences. Very long list of offences either violent or sexual offences. What about this one here . James set fire toa about this one here . James set fire to a mattress in a prison cell. Arson is one of these offences which can come under the remit of the ipp. There was a large range of offences which it could cover and also there was a mandatory element where the judge had to impose it if it had beena judge had to impose it if it had been a second offence which had been committed. All these elements came together to mean that a large number of people received the ipp far greater than had been predicted and the parole board faced rate difficulties trying to resource this great difficulties. A number of changes to legal judgments great difficulties. A number of changes to legaljudgments which further placed pressure on the caseload and it meant we had longer pa role caseload and it meant we had longer Parole Board Delays and it results in the situation we have today where despite the sentence being abolished in 2012, we still have over 3000 people in prison serving the ipp. John, you are a former Prison Governor, what of these ipps . They area disgrace, governor, what of these ipps . They are a disgrace, ken clarke said they are a disgrace, ken clarke said they area stain are a disgrace, ken clarke said they are a stain on the Criminaljustice System and they remain so. Important point, this is the only sentence of its kind that is sentencing people to incarceration is not for what they have done, but for what they might do. The onus has been put on someone might do. The onus has been put on someone to might do. The onus has been put on someone to prove might do. The onus has been put on someone to prove they are innocent and that is wholly inappropriate. How do you prove when you are locked up how do you prove when you are locked up 23 hours a day and in some cases in segregation, how do you prove that you are safe. The Prison System should not be doing harm and with this sentence it clearly is, from the examples you are showing. This sentence it clearly is, from the examples you are showingm this sentence it clearly is, from the examples you are showing. Is it justified that anyone who is still in prison on one of these, bearing in mind they were scrapped from any future prisoners . They have been abolished and Nick Hardwick has given sensible proposals on how these people might be released. Certainly reversing the test whereby the prisoner proving that he or she is safe to be released, the onus should be on the state and that should be on the state and that should be on the state and that should be on the Prison Service. When David Blunkett brought these sentences in, he was relying on amongst many things offending Behaviour Courses and they are still around as being the universal pa na cea. Around as being the universal panacea. You have spoken about the litmus test in terms of whether people are safe to be released, but as we have seen with sex offender courses, it can be unproven and it can make things worse and many of them are not suitable for many people, especially those who have got Learning Difficulties and Mental Health problems. Given that the sentence has been abolished, ken clarke said it is a stain on the criminal justice system, clarke said it is a stain on the Criminaljustice System, it is down to the Secretary Of State for justice to show political courage and do something about this. It is within his gift. Reference has been made to michael gove, he was in the process of making some of these political decisions but then he was sacked. We have had one minister after another. And we hear nothing at the moment, and it is about time that we did. Thank you all very much. We asked thejustice secretary and the parliamentary undersecretary for prisons and probation to come on the programme. They said in a statement they are determined to address the challenge.

The Charity Commission has issued its first ever official warning to a charity over the way it spends its money. The National Hereditary Breast cancer helpline has been spending as little as 3 of the money you give it on Raising Awareness and the helpline that it runs. The rest goes on things like Management Costs and overheads. The trustee who set up the charity has also paid herself £31,000, which is against charity rules. The Charity Commission is a Government Body which registers and regulates charities. There are more than 167,000 individual charities in england and wales, raising around £73 billion a year.

In 2012 she started a charity to raise money for her helpline and was later awarded an mbe for her work. So why has this charity been given this official warning . The Charity Commission got involved after noticing that the charity behind the helpline was in financial difficulty. When you go through their accounts, like ive done, the amounts spent year on year are as little as 6 , 3. 4 and just 2. 8 of its donations on charitable activities. The average charity spends 83 , so in comparison, its a tiny amount. When the Charity Commission first investigated the helpline they found they were poorly managing their finances and discovered that watson had been paying herself from the charity accounts. £31,000. And then when the commission went back a few months later, the finances were still out of control and even though wendy had resigned as a trustee, she was still being paid. So thats why this charity has become the first to ever get an official warning. What has the charity said about the investigation . We asked them for a statement and we have received a statement and we have received a statement from the lawyers representing wendy watson and the charity. They said the payments made to her were in error and it said she also worked full time for the charity as a volunteer since 2012 and they did not realise the payments were inappropriate, but when they realised, she resigned. They also said although she was played for three months at the end of last year, she has otherwise work full time on a voluntary basis. Thanks forjoining us. Lets talk now to Michelle Russell from the Charity Commission which took action over the helpline. Its not unusual that Charities Get into financial distress. Thats why we took the action that we did. We had a look at the accounts and saw the warning signs. Thats why we tried to help early on by going to visit the charity and setting them an action plan. What did the charity do wrong, in your eyes . There are a number of things that went wrong, and its not unusualfor charities to make mistakes. I run by volu nteers to make mistakes. I run by volunteers doing their best for the benefit of others. But actually there are a number of issues that we saw. Their Business Plan didnt work, they werent making any money from their charity shops, they had got into a model with their finances, the loans from trustees we re finances, the loans from trustees were there, and they were paying money effectively to themselves, signing off their own expenditure. There were a number of issues where they got into a bit of a mess and needed help. Why cant you be paid asa needed help. Why cant you be paid as a trustee . If you think about charity and why we trust the public trust charities, it is based on the premise of volunteering and helping others. Also, in the role of a trustee, whose job it others. Also, in the role of a trustee, whosejob it is others. Also, in the role of a trustee, whose job it is to scrutinise whats going on by the employees, if you are paid as an employees, if you are paid as an employee that makes yourjob very difficult. Thats why there are rules in place that say you shouldnt get paid as a trustee or bea paid shouldnt get paid as a trustee or be a paid employee and a trustee, without special permission. This charity didnt do it, and after we warned them that they needed to sort it out, they still didnt take the steps they needed to. Thats why we took the action of giving them an official warning. What legal powers do you have, if you feel charities arent carrying out their work in the way they should be . Weve got a range of powers. 0ur the way they should be . Weve got a range of powers. Our role is to support charities by guidance and advice at one end. At the other end of things, we can launch an investigation and take quite serious powers. What we are talking about in this case is firm but fair action in the middle of that. So we arent up at that quite invasive and web we passed giving guidance and advice. This is a warning that you need to sort out your house. And its the first time youve ever given an official warning, tell us more about what that does mean. This is a new power that we went to parliament to and asked for. We could see the gap between the lower end of support and the upper end of intervention. It is a power where we can warn the charity and the trustees that there has been some breaches and they need to act to take action to stop it going forward. Its for a limited period of time, and our support is still there for them while theyve got this warning. It should be reassurance to the public that the regulator is there, watching whats going on, and it wont walk away. Said the charity is still running itself, whats time frame forward . We set its deadlines for us going back to make sure those things were wrong or theyve made mistakes on we re wrong or theyve made mistakes on were sorted out. Were really pleased some new trustees stepped forward and taking up the mantle, to use their heads to scrutinise whats going on. We dont want to lose the passion and enthusiasm that people have in volunteering for charities, particularly because sometimes its for a cause close to their heart. We dont want to lose that, but we definitely need trustees who carry out a rewarding but responsiblejob. Thank you. Just to re iterate what the National Hereditary Breast cancer helpline told us they say wendy watson paying herself was an error. Her solicitors told the bbc she worked full time for the charity from august 2012 until now and that she was paid for her work for one year while she was also a trustee. They say neither ms watson or the charity were aware that this was inappropriate and ms watson immediately resigned as a trustee. And they say its a well used helpline. Next this morning protests and vigils in support Of Charlottesville have been held in many us cities. Black lives matter. In seattle on sunday, police made arrests, deployed pepper spray and confiscated weapons as anti fascist protesters approached a pro trump rally.

This is part of wider work that is taking place on the tower itself. The bells are being silenced first to protect the workers. Thats correct. As the scaffolding goes up, the bells will be silenced. Give us an idea of what needs to be done, why is it so important the renovation is carried out . It needs maintenance and were going to start at the top with the reefs which leak.

With the mens quartet adding a bronze a few minutes later. Prior to the weekend the team had only picked up one medal. Coming back after the Olympic Games it is hard to follow that, but i think the team did so well, if you look across the board, the top eight finishes and so moli people finishing in fourth and we hit the medal target last night so many people.

I know what you are thinking, that trophy is absolutely massive that trophy is absolutely massive that was pretty cool. Thanks for joining us. Prime minister theresa may returns to work after her Walking Holiday this week, just as two leading Cabinet Ministers have declared the uk will need a transition period to help businesses adjust after brexit. Liam fox, the International Trade secretary, and Philip Hammond, the chancellor, made the declaration in a joint article for the Sunday Telegraph intended to quash speculation that the cabinet is divided over how to implement brexit and what will happen during the transitional period. The Prime Ministers Summer Holiday has been plagued by tory rows over how britain will leave the eu. Over the next ten days, ministers will also publish papers on Britains Brexit plans covering the irish border, the Customs Union, fisheries and agriculture. But does this joint article show a genuine platform for progress . Or is it a pr stunt . Joining us now, owenjones, a columnist for the guardian who believes there is no unity within the Conservative Party. And jo anne nadler, a political journalist and communications consultant, who worked as a senior conservative Press Officer during the john major years. She thinks this was the right moment for liam fox and Philip Hammond to show unity. What we are hearing from them is that there will be no staying in the Customs Union but there will be a transition period, is this a position that the party can get behind . I think so, they have got to get hide it. To a certain extent this is a pr move they have got to get behind it. We have heard so many noises off and so much squabbling that it has obscured the essential Direction Of Travel towards leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union, it has been very important that these ministers who represent different sides of the argument come together at this point, partly to reassure their own party and also the country and business essentially, that they will Work Together to this end. What do you think . Is this a position that labour can get around . No sooner had the article being published in the daily telegraph, a Tory Minister said the pact wouldnt last and that Philip Hammond had contempt for lame fox, the tory party is riven with division liam fox. David davis called Boris Johnson division liam fox. David davis called Borisjohnson A Failure and there were tory mps threatening to kick each other in various pieces of anatomy. Philip hammond repeatedly briefed against. Anna super soubry now talking about leaving the party. It is easy for my position, someone party. It is easy for my position, someone who supports the labour party and it is for me to have a partisan enjoyment in the tories ripping themselves to shreds, but chris patten said the disastrous decisions have left the country in a terrible mess and already because we have the referendum to sage the internal divisions of the tory party, and we have the Snap General Election to destroy the labour party, but these internal divisions within the Conservative Party have left this country a laughing stock in europe and that is my fear, that we dont have a united government, we dont have a united government, we have a Prime Minister without authority and brexit negotiations have not even begun. What you think about soubry saying she is thinking about soubry saying she is Thinking Aboutjoining about soubry saying she is thinking about joining another party . That is not that surprising, there are some people in the Conservative Party who are passionately in favour of remain and they can argue their case as they wish, but they do not represent a minority within the Conservative Party and they dont represent the majority in the party. The majority voted to leave the european union, and an essential part of that is to leave the Single Market and the Customs Union, so that britain can be more competitive and forge a more successful Economic Future for itself but also a more successful economy than we are seeing in europe and that is the point. It would be difficult for mps to force a position where the government doesnt come out completely when there are enough numbers of mps who wa nt there are enough numbers of mps who want a position where we stay in the Single Market and the Customs Union . What has happened, because of the squabbling, and some of this is over important points of policy, and some of it is personal, as owen indicated, but we have got distracted from what the government needs to do which is make the case again, and remainers have been effective arguing their case since the result, almost putting down the result but rich a million more people voted for. At which. We havent on the leave side being clear about the advantage and we havent been clear about the fact that this can be a great thing for britain. Our correspondent is joining us from westminster, is the joint positioning going to put a lid on everything . Is this a sign of a new unity . For now, yes, this is seen as a new unity . For now, yes, this is seen as a attempt to show unity because there has been so much speculation and squabbling while theresa may has been on holiday, and this is an attempt to bring together the two sides of the cabinet, liam fox, in favour brexit, and Philip Hammond who is in favour of a soft approach for the both of them have said that the government does not wa nt said that the government does not want a cliff edge when we leave the eu in 2019 and they spoke about the agreement and the need for a transitional deal but they have said it must be time limited. As to whether it will end the speculation, i think they will be some bubbling around for while but this is a moment of unity ahead of theresa may returning from holiday this week. She has been enjoying three weeks in italy. She is coming back sometime this week. Thank you. David miliband has been speaking this weekend. He has been speaking this weekend. He has said there must be a vote on a brexit deal to allow the country to potentially reject brexit and stay in the eu, but the Labour Position is all over the place as well. The position of labour is that they have got to find a way of clearing up the mess caused by the Conservative Party, there was a decision by David Cameron to have a referendum and they waged a Disastrous Campaign and they waged a Disastrous Campaign and they lost and now the country is in a mess. We are where we are, though. Yes, icampaigned a mess. We are where we are, though. Yes, i campaigned for remain but we lost the referendum and now it is about what kind of brexit we have, and my fear is if you start saying at this stage that brexit needs to be overturned, then people who voted leave will regard this as contemptuous of their democratic position and many people who voted remain accept the decision and want to find the best possible way, but my fear regarding david miliband, i think it is up for grabs as to whether we stay in the Single Market, i would whether we stay in the Single Market, iwould prefer that, even though there are problems because the danger is we end up with the worst of both worlds where we have do accept eu laws but we cant contribute to them, but if we crashed out of the Customs Union the economic damage could be considerable and hurt a lot of people. A lot of people said this on twitter all the time, it was only advisory, the referendum, but that would cause uproar, however, to call for a second referendum at this point, before there has been a big backlash, i think many people will find that contemptuous of their democratic decision and it means those of us who want to soft brexit will walk off the pitch and leave the Hard Brexit Motion to decide what kind of brexit we have the ha rd what kind of brexit we have the hard brexit throw. David davis has said that the mps are there to exercise judgment david miliband. He has said lets have another election now, because we didnt do too well to three months ago, its like that. The decision was taken. The real question now is what other policies that are going to underpin the way we carry out brexit. On that point, i think we can agree. Theres been an awful lot of destruction because of, sometimes Personality Clashes but sometimes genuine issues over Policy Differences in the Conservative Party. What happened this week is these two ministers have come together to say we need to pull together and give theresa may her head. Shes coming back this week, shes going to make a big policy statement, we are going to look at various of brexit, like how we will manage outside the Customs Union, whats going to happen with the border inside ireland for instance. Those kind of policies, they need to be scrutinised. The danger with the tory brexit is not only are we going to crash out of the Single Market, but we may end up with no deal whatsoever. Thats not a tory brexit. Your party are going to have to own this, i can assure you. Well end up with tariffs imposed on our goods which will cause potentially enormous damage to the british economy. Wages are already falling in this country all over again. The danger is that with that sort of brexit, it will hit the Living Standards of those who voted to leave incidentally and jobs. Weve got this Compromise Position outlined this weekend, in spite of all the divisions you are talking about, is it something mps could unite around . Frankly there is a lot of detail that could be delineated and hasnt yet been so. As a statement of we need to pull together, it is significant in that regard. That doesnt mean we shouldnt continue to scrutinise the detail within that. How long will this transition period b and whats at the end of the transition period . We havent yet heard what the vision is for the end of the transition period. The Tory Infighting has become before the difficulties of the negotiations have got underway. That is why the telegraph have been briefed that this pact isnt going to last. I do think the telegraph just invented it, give them some respect. The truth is, Philip Hammond, david davis, liam fox, theresa may, they are all fundamentally in quite different places. Philip hammond earlier in the summer was arguing for a soft brexit and to have. I dont think fundamentally that has happened and when brexit negotiations happen and we start suffering genuine economic problems and turmoil and turbulence, and our position in europe which is weak. Like vast swathes of the continent. The reason a lot of people voted to leave. Eu diplomats regard our country as a bit of a laughing stock at the moment. Great to have you in, thank you. Still to come. Across the uk, arrests of Airline Passengers suspected of being drunk have risen by 50 in the last year. Those in the industry are calling on the government to do more. The metropolitan police are giving head mounted cameras to its uniformed Firearms Officers. The cameras are being issued to all Armed Response Units to wear on their Baseball Caps and ballistic helmets. The mets already rolled out over 17,000 bodycams to officers across the force, but there have been issues finding an operationally suitable camera for Firearms Officers. Its hoped the presence of cameras will help Address Concerns over the transparency of operations involving armed officers, such as the shootings of mark duggan and jermaine baker. We can speak now tojune kelly Martin Harding is a former superintendent and Firearms Officer with Greater Manchester police. Nick howe, a former firearms commander and now a criminologist at the university of derby. This reinforces the commitment of the police service. As a largely an armed police service, we do police with the consensus of the community and we must do everything we can to retain that consent. What is your perspective . I think martins view is spot on. Its all about transparency and i think Police Office rs have transparency and i think Police Officers have got far more to gain and benefit from the transparency of evidence recorded by video cameras. Why do you think its taken so long . We talked about technical issues but there are other operational considerations to take into account. First of all, why has it taken so long. Its only in the last 8 9 years in small pilots that body cameras have been used as a credible form of evidence gathering. It was only as far ago as 2014 that the met started to roll it out more fully based upon the trials elsewhere in the country. It is still relatively re ce nt the country. It is still relatively recent technology. In terms Firearms Officers, the difficulty was the technology was generally worn on the upper chest and shoulder area. When Firearms Officers bring their Firearms Officers bring their firearms up to the ready, that was masking some of the imagery and the quality of what they could record at the time. As technology has moved on, its more by stealth than revolution. These developments are incremental. They have experimented with head worn cameras which gives a far better Panoramic View of what they are dealing with at the time. Martin, there is research from Cambridge University that shows officers who are wearing body cameras get 93 fewer complaints from the public. Would you expect it to bea from the public. Would you expect it to be a similar result when the head cameras come in . When youre talking about Firearms Officers it something entirely different. The operational officers have got 93 ratings from the public. In the last year there we re the public. In the last year there were 16,000 deployments of armed officers to incidents, in those deployments firearms were only discharged ten times. I think Firearms Officers by and large have the confidence and support of the public. They are very well trained in what they do. How will they feel about having them . |j in what they do. How will they feel about having them . I think there has got to be a confidence issue with Firearms Officers themselves. Of all they are volunteers to carry out that role. Now they are placing themselves in a position where they are Making Decisions in split seconds. Those decisions can now be replayed over and over and over again ina replayed over and over and over again in a court of law. So they need the confidence that the equipment will truly portray what took place and support their Decision Making. It is possible that sometimes people might make wrong decisions but if you look at the numbers of times officers have discharged weapons, ive got confidence they do the right things. Where would the risk be in the footage not giving a clear image of what happened . Footage not giving a clear image of what happened . The risk is that they have A Split Second to make a decision. At the time they make that decision, there is noise, theres confusion, theres testosterone, there is fear. They see an incident that only they might see from their position. Bear in mind there are numerous officers attending a scene. Numerous angles to view a situation. They might see something their collea g u es they might see something their colleagues havent seen. When they ta ke colleagues havent seen. When they take that decision to shoot, and its a decision which remains purely there is, they need to be sure that when it goes to court, or they need the confidence that when it goes to court, if that decision isnt supported by the evidence, the implications are absolutely horrendous in terms of loss of liberty, loss of career, loss of life. The implications pulling the trigger massive. All the actions and Decision Making will be captured on camera. Nick, how much pressure is put on Firearms Officers who, as you say, volunteered to be armed, how much pressure is on them when they think about the scrutiny and having to replay an event that has to happen ina to replay an event that has to happen in A Split Second . to replay an event that has to happen in A Split Second . I think they do but theyve also got to have faith and confidence in the training that they get over a period of time. Its a graduated process before they actually get to the front line in these situations. Ive got a great deal of confidence in the training and support they get within the Firearms Community and the broader police community. Going back to one of your earlier question is, speaking to officers in recent times regarding this development, i think the concern isnt so much upon the added pressure or the transparency of evidence as it may come out on the day, but there is an underlying fear that potentially the capturing by video of Police Tactics somehow will enhance the challenges presented to them by the criminal community. I actually dont agree with that particular view, but there isa with that particular view, but there is a concern with that particular view, but there is a concern among some with that particular view, but there is a concern among some officers that may be the visibility of their tactics may somehow give away their operational advantage. Martin, what about the perspective of the public . Will this be a reassuring step . think so. Every time there is a weapon discharged there are questions from all parties. From the police service, the ipcc, and the families are people who have been shot. This will go a long way to being able to answer those questions. I think in lots of cases, it will totally vindicate the decision of the officer who made the decision, and show their decision was right. Going back to the point earlier that nick made about tactics given out in court, i think weve got a long history of being able to give sensitive evidence in court proceedings. Where tactics might be given out, im sure that the court will allow certain evidence to be heard in secret, so that we get best evidence, and we get to the truth of what actually took place.

And panorama investigates the growing numbers of british passengers flying drunk tonight at 830pm on bbc one. 70 years ago tonight, 200 years of British Colonial rule in india came to an end and the country was partitioned into two independent Nation States hindu majority india and muslim majority pakistan. It led to one of the largest Mass Migrations ever recorded with an estimated 12 Million People on the move Muslimsjourneyed To West and east pakistan. Now known as bangladesh. While hindus and sikhs headed in the opposite direction. Communities that had co existed for centuries succumbed to sectarian violence. Hundreds of thousands were killed, tens of thousands of women abducted on all sides. India and pakistan became independent at the same moment at midnight as August 14th 1947 gave way to august 15th. Pakistan now celebrates its Independence Day on august 14th and india on august 15th. Former cricketer and pakistani politician imran khan spoke to the bbcs Inzy Rashid He says the situation between india and pakistan is the worst its ever been. Partition was five years old when i was born so i vividly remember the trauma of the partition. Trauma suffered by the people all around us and we grew up with this hatred, there was this hatred against india. When you were playing cricket against india, what were the crowds like . The crowds were so passionate about you beating india and they forced the players to really play. It almost transcended it, as if it was no longer a cricket game, it was more than a cricket game when you played india and that was forced by the crowds. Did it ever get to a point where it turned violent . The crowds. Did it ever get to a point where it turned violent7m 1987 the crowds were hostile. I remember playing a test match and it wasnt very pleasant because normally you expect rivalry and passion in the crowd but you dont expect them to be Throwing Stones at fielders standing on the boundary. I remember hostility and that was a surprise. Looking at the situation right now. And on the borders with india. Can you tell the people back in the uk what the situation is . The Current Situation is probably the worst it has been between india and pakistan. The main reason is because india has a Prime Minister who has not risen above what his communal thinking, his association with hindu extremists, his background where this was this massacre in gujarat of muslims when he was the chief minister. Somehow we expected that when Narendra Modi would become the Prime Minister he would rise above this. But i have to say we are all so disappointed because Narendra Modi has notjust disappointed pakistanis, he has disappointed muslims in india. If we take the situation that is now then and we translate that now into british life. Theres British Indians and British Pakistanis who are probably hearing stories from both sides, how do you think that affects people back then . The British Indian Pakistani Society has power because they have resources, they are rich, they are influential. They are the ones that should force, especially someone like Narendra Modi, to move towards peace. But do you feel theres maybe a lack of education, a lack of understanding of exactly what the situation is like, even back to 1947, of how that developed . In the curriculum, there should be an attempt by the british authorities to make people understand what exactly happened in 1947. And if they understand that, they will understand the genesis of this animosity between the countries. 70 yea rs, animosity between the countries. 70 years, it is a celebration, and how much of a special occasion is this . Very special occasion, and you will see that when you go out on the streets. People come out and celebrate. There is this desire in the people that they want to celebrate a pakistan that it should have been and it hasnt been. Imran khan, talking about partition. Many British Asians have a connection to the partition in some way but how has it affected different generations who have lived through it firsthand, or in the aftermath . Lets talk now to hassan tahmeed. He was educated in pakistan and says the way they were taught about partition was very different to the experiences of his grandparents who were affected directly by it. Daya rani chuhb, who is 88 years old, joins us from new delhi in india with her daughter ritu. She and her husband were forced to move from their home during the partition. Also here is Sabeena Akhtar and her daughter summayah muhammad. Summayah recently went to india to find her Great Grandmothers old home that she was forced out of during the partition. Welcome. You were 18 when the partition happened, you were engaged, what happened to you and your fiance . Good morning. When we got engaged. My husband was doing work in what is now bangladesh, my pa rents were work in what is now bangladesh, my parents were there, and there was so much tension. The whole night we couldnt sleep. We had men guarding our house to protect us and we were so worried, any time they could make riot. Normally we celebrate. But we are afraid. We were so scared. We thought people would come and take us thought people would come and take us away from our home and take our things away. We were scared, very much scared. What was it like living through that . Everything that you knew, it was turned upside down. Your life was turned upside down, what was it like . Very upsetting, we did not know where to do and where to go. One of my elder sisters was there in bangladesh. Their brothers came over, left everything behind. You can go back. Inaudible only 100200 only 100 200 people could go. Some we re only 100 200 people could go. Some were coming and we were so scared. So we decided to leave our house, family, everything behind, with my pa rents family, everything behind, with my parents and my father stayed back. My parents and my father stayed back. My father decided to stay in pakistan and he gave me the name of and that i would be a pakistan citizen. I would have a good job there. Look after my family. He stayed back. Inaudible how much has this. It has totally schedule family, how much is it talked about . Shaped your family. What i have been through and what ourfamily has what i have been through and what our family has been through, what i have been through and what ourfamily has been through, it is like a ourfamily has been through, it is likea dream. Ourfamily has been through, it is like a dream. We still go to the old house and dream of the old house. Good house. Good job. House and dream of the old house. Good house. Goodjob. Good family. But everything was left behind because we had no chance. I would say that it is a very intense story for all of us. I do believe that the partition shaped my pa rents believe that the partition shaped my parents lives and their destiny, of course. It also shaped them as human beings. And the kind of learning that they had during that time, the kind of traits and characteristics that they were able to imbibe into their lives in that point in time had a great influence on everything later on. For instance i was born much, much later after partition, but the learnings and the teachings that my parents gained from that time, the way they were able to deal with the situation influenced them, and it has influenced all of us, me and it has influenced all of us, me and my siblings as well. You set your daughter a challenge to go to india and learn about your grandmother, why did you want to do that and what did you find out . thought it was really important to learn about this history. We arent taught about it at school. If i wasnt going to teach it to my daughter, who would . Also, its important for her personal history to know where we came from and that we have this story of this amazing woman and this journey she made. How much have been passed down through direct conversations . We had snippets of information and we have this treasure trove of her belongings which are letters and pictures, from when she got to pakistan, including the refugee papers she filled in. We knew bits but nothing like what we discovered. We had never seen the house she left behind. She left the top production and came to lahore in pakistan. What did you find out in particular, what affected you when you learned about her . I learned that throughout history, loads of womens stories are forgotten. Im really proud to have uncovered my Great Grandmothers story. I think that if more people tried to learn about partition, and learn about the refugees that were made in their own country, then maybe they would be more sympathetic to the refugees coming into europe today. Were you surprised to hear all the detail about it . How much had you been aware of before . I hadnt really been aware of that much, because i just thought that we had come from pakistan and lived in pakistan, but that wasnt the case. It was really surprising to find out my Great Grandmothers story. Surprising to find out my greatgrandmothers story. Tell us more about her story, what did happen to her . She was alone in her house when she heard mobs outside. She decided to flee in the middle of the night. She was alone with about 15 of her children. She had 19 children altogether but some were born after partition. She got up and she fled. She buried herwedding jewellery hoping that one day she would return to her house and her belongings. But she never did. She got on a train journey which we also took from rampur. We went to uttar pradesh, where she was living in refugee camps for over a year. Pradesh, where she was living in refugee camps for over a yeahm had been a pretty well to do family, hadnt it . It was a huge contrast. My great grandfather was quite active in the Independence Movement. I think youve got some stamps in your box. These are mementos youve picked up on yourjourney. This would have been my great grandfather. He was part of the Independence Movement but sadly died. I mean, he wouldnt have been pro partition i dont think. But he died before. She made that journey alone and they left all of that prestige and the life they were used to. As i said, they settled in camps in lahore. Your grandparents had to move to pakistan from india, how much were you told growing up about what happened . How much were you told growing up about what happened . How much was passed on directly . Ive never met my grandad but ive heard stories from a grandmother. Today, millions of people are celebrating it as an independent state, but for me, the stories which i heard from a grandmother, those horrific stories, theyll still in my head. What sort of stories . She had to migrate from india. She was very settled the. My grandfather was serving as an army officer. Even though he was asked to help the people who migrated from india, he still couldnt help his own family. My grandmother, she had to carry two of her sons, both under the age of five, all the way from india to pakistan. All the time she had that fear someone would attack her. All she could take with her was her. All she could take with her was her jewellery. She had her. All she could take with her was herjewellery. She had wrapped that around her body. It was a riskyjob to carry all your jewellery. Around her body. It was a riskyjob to carry all yourjewellery. Mobs we re to carry all yourjewellery. Mobs were all attacking each other. It was a risky business. The stories that are told subsequently through formal education, you feel quite strongly that its not necessarily reflective of what you have been told that first hand. Reflective of what you have been told that firsthand. A lot of people from my generation, especially those of the British Asian origin, they arent very clear about why partition happened. Basically pakistan was made around the notion that religion, which in pakistan was islam, was the basis of nationalism. Which is not the case, the arabs are divided into 20 countries. That was wrong because before partition, from 1857 when the war of independence was fought up until the late 40s, the muslims, hindus and sikhs were united against the fight against the british raj. Within a matter of a few months, they started fighting each other. What triggered that was the muslim leaders, they were making pakistan a fortress for islam rather than for muslims. Even today in pakistan, which was made for muslims which we re which was made for muslims which were a minority in india, the religious minorities in pakistan are not safe today. Whats the best way to teach this stuff . You will obviously got your personal stories. Youve had your personaljourney. think talking about it firstly is really important. Our children need to know about their history. Hassan was saying about his education which was saying about his education which was pretty one sided. Im quite sceptical of a curriculum that ignores large swathes of history, andl ignores large swathes of history, and i find it incumbent on my daughter to know what clay pots the romans were eating out of 2000 years ago but not who was taking food off ago but not who was taking food off a grandmothers table 100 years ago. Its really important to teach this history and there are various organisations who have come up with syllabuses and curriculum is to teach through drama. We dont have to share all the gory details with children but they do need to know that it was the largest displacement of people in history. You said you think its good for people to know what happened. Obviously it will have impacted on you knowing this about your family. How do you feel now you know all about what happened . Well, i feel really sad that my Great Grandmother had to go through all of that to make a journey to pakistan. When she got there, hoping that she would find a home and settle in, she was made a refugee in harrowing country, which was really shocking to find out. I think that by telling more people about it, then as i said before, they will be more sympathetic to the refugees today. Your whole life has been left pretty much in the aftermath of partition. How has it affected you throughout your life . Have you ever got beyond what you went through . It is terrible to forget. It was shocking. My parents we re forget. It was shocking. My parents were shifted to refugee camps. There we re were shifted to refugee camps. There were millions of People Living there. My father got a job there. He took the job to earn money and look after the family financially. It was terrible to live there. Inaudible it was terrible in winter, summer also, and the rainy days also. I have not been there because my husband told me, you will not be able to bear seeing your parent suffering so much. Those days. Inaudible thank you so much. The american cassini space probe is beginning its final phase of its two decade long mission to saturn. Scientists know theyre taking a risk, buffeting means cassini must use its thrusters to maintain control. It promises unprecedented data on the chemical composition and the internal structure of saturn. We can now speak talk to the space journalist and author sarah cruddas. It feels like we are in space what are you hoping for from this mission . Its been incredible anyhow, one of the best things to come from this mission as always with going into space isnt the science we are doing in space, but simply looking back at earth. Cassini has spent 20 years on its journey to saturn and took this picture of saturns rings and in the distance is a pale dot and that dot is ours. In terms of science its been a game changer. Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system but think of it as a mini solar system in its own way. We dont know quite why it has those rings. It has at least 60 moons and other means we havent yet identified. Its a world unto itself. Since this Mission Launched weve discovered two of the means might even have conditions which might even have conditions which might mean there is life within our rain solar system. It is Game Changing stuff. Now we are coming into the final part of the mission which is to do something that no spacecraft has done before. We assume we know so spacecraft has done before. We assume we know so much because wed been going into space for more than 50 yea rs been going into space for more than 50 years but actually we know so little. Weve never been this close to saturn and its a feat of engineering to use gravity from saturns largest moon to slingshot the spacecraft which is 20 years old, to the cloud tops around the gas planets.
