Back and try and salvage something, and help. I dont know. My whole life is here, so. Were not coping, were definitely not coping. Everybody will tell you the same, theyre not coping.

That means that the whole island will have to be rebuilt and the government has already admitted it simply doesnt have the money. The hope is that the funds will come from somewhere. Were hoping that, you know, friendly governments and International Partners will step up to the plate and assist us. They should not see this as a form of, lets say, the Prime Minister and the people of Antigua And Barbuda coming with a begging bowl, cap in hand. This is a disaster, a national disaster. The fragments of peoples lives now lie in ruins. They can only hope that one day they will once again call this island home. But for now they must leave by any means possible, including this towed barge, and they dont know when they will return. Laura bicker, bbc news, barbuda.

Speaking in villavicencio, one of the places worst affected by the five decade conflict between Government Forces and the farc, the pope called for truth and justice for victims. Our south america correspondent katy watson sent this report. Villavicencios cemetery tells the story of the countrys conflict. Of more than half a century of disappearances, murders and separation. When virginia was six, her mother went to fight with the farc. She was made to, she says, and shes given up ever seeing her again, but not her dad, who disappeared 13 years later. In among the tombs are unnamed graves, victims of the conflict. But even this would bring closure to virginia. Shes optimistic about a Peace Process, she might find out what happened to her father. I would love to come here with a flower, she says. To have a plaque with his name on, a place i could spend time. I want him to be alive more than anything, but this at least would be something. Virginias one of hundreds of victims meeting the pope. Theres a lot of expectation that he can help heal the wounds here. The latin american pontiff is well loved on his home turf.

A review of the criminalJustice System in england and wales has concluded that people from black, asian and minority ethnic backgrounds are still facing bias and overt discrimination. The inquiry, commissioned by the government and led by the labour mp david lammy, makes recommendations such as assessing the maturity of young offenders, and sealing criminal records of reformed youths. Elaine dunkley reports. Hmp isis in south east london. Theres no hope in the system. There are more than 600 inmates. 70 of those behind bars here are from an ethnic minority background. Not getting bail. Not getting keep getting stopped and searched because im black. According to todays review, there is bias and discrimination within the criminalJustice System. Its how youre looked at, preconceptions, stuff like that. Stephan is serving six years for drug offences but believes he is also being punished because of the colour of his skin. Ive been in prison for a while now so ive met people in the past, when i first started my sentence, that got less time than me for a worse crime. The same drugs, but a lot worse than i done, but they got a shorter sentence than i have. The reasons why ethnic minorities are overrepresented in the criminal Justice System are complex. The lammy review says its about highlighting inequality in the way people who have committed crimes are judged and punished. When we are describing groups of young ethnic minorities, in particular black, the term gang is used. Swathes of young people who may not necessarily be serious gang members, they may be affiliated, loosely affiliated to a gang, they may live in a gang neighbourhood, they may have been incorrectly labelled with that term, end up receiving harsher sentences. At Brixton Police station, shaquille is taking part in a rehabilitation scheme called divert, which helps offenders find training and employment. Youd be surprised. Im surprised that ive seen people as young as 11, 12, smoking weed on the street. He says poverty is the root cause. In certain places where you go to, people just grow up in a mentality that they are on the battlefield. As a young person, to get involved with crime is just to better your circumstances. The lammy review has more than 30 recommendations for change. Proposals include removing identifying information about ethnicity when cases are passed from police to prosecutors, so racial bias doesnt influence charging decisions, and not declaring criminal records for minor offences when applying forjobs. Im labelled, 100 . If i go and i try for a job and i show them my criminal history record, whatever, they will be like, yeah, this person, we cant give them a job. The government says it is committed to making a fairer britain a reality. Reviews and recommendations are a start. Now actions are needed to reform the character and culture of parts of the criminalJustice System. Elaine dunkley, bbc news. This is bbc news.
