day, but it was that forjodi after her sister collapsed with a cardiac arrest. she was walking down the aisle as her maid of honour. she will be here to tell their extraordinary story. hello, welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. also later in the programme we will talk to the families of six former british servicemen who four years ago today were detained in india after the ship they were protecting from pirates drifted into indian waters and they were arrested. several years later they are still locked up in an indianjail. we will talk to the sisters and fiancee of three of the men. do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning — use #victorialive and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today. the government has set out details of its plans to cap the gas and electricity bills of 12 million households. it's published draft legislation to introduce an upper limit on on poor value standard variable tariffs, which cost far more than the cheapest deals. yesterday the regulator, ofgem, said it could not impose such a cap without a new legal framework. theresa may has said the energy market is broken. our correspondents theo leggett is here. what will happen? the government has not said a lot so far. we will learn more when the business secretary makes a statement in the house of commons. but standard variable tariffs, which an awful lot of people are on, are poor value. they give a penalty for loyalty. if people have stayed with the same supplier four—year is, they tend to be paying hundreds of pounds more. what this legislation will do is impose an absolute cap on that. a top limit of what energy companies can charge people on that tariff. some people say everybody, all the energy companies, even the cheaper ones, will bring their prices up to that cap. that is the argument against it certainly. there are camps in the market at the moment, for example with prepayment meters, the evidence suggests there will be a narrowing in price. but the government's view on this is the energy market is broken, people are paying too much and something needs to be done. thank you very much. we will talk more about this. your views are welcome as always. your views are welcome as always. annita mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. the organisation behind the oscars is to consider taking action against harvey weinstein who is facing growing accusations of sexual assault. harvey weinstein may be stripped of his membership to the organisation behind the oscars after 13 women have alleged he sexually harrassed or assaulted them mr weinstein has said many of the claims that have been made are false. he was a hollywood hit—maker, with an oscar contender almost every year. now harvey weinstein is under investigation and facing a flood of accusations. model and actress, cara delevingne, the latest. invited to a hotel room to discuss business, she said, instead forced to dodge his advances, and flee the room. the lists of actresses grows longer each day. some of hollywood's most famous, like angelina jolie and gwyneth paltrow, and the details repeat — hotel rooms and massages, persuation, pressure and threats. others go much further, recounting serious sexual assaults and accusations of rape. it's not at all easy to be the first one or two people who speak and now there's a sort of tsunami of sleeze coming out and all these other people are coming out of the wood works and saying these things but it's those first couple of women, who you really have to say, "thank god they did." he says he regrets his behaviour. his spokeswoman insisting that all sexual encounters were consensual. he's said to be receiving counselling in europe. back in america, his wife has left him. his membership of bafta, the uk's film body, has been suspended. its american equivalent, the hosts of the oscars, have called an emergency meeting and he could be barred from the industry he has ruled for more than 20 years. meanwhile, police say they're investigating the allegations, finally shining a light into the shadows of the industry and what many believe has been an open secret in hollywood forfar too long. andrew plant, bbc news. later in the programme, victoria will be talking to the journalist who broke the story of cara delevigne's accusations, and a representative of the actors‘ union equity, which has previously investigated abuses of the so—called "casting couch". a spokesman for the palestinian militant group hamas says it has reached a deal with its rival, fatah. the spokesman said the details would be announced at a news conference later today in cairo. there's been no confirmation from fatah. last month, hamas said it would dissolve the committee that ran gaza and hand back control to the fatah—backed government in the west bank. newly qualified gps are to be offered a one—off payment of £20,000 if they start their careers in areas that struggle to attract family doctors. the £4 million scheme aims to boost the numbers of doctors in rural and coastal parts of england. meanwhile, a new report by the king's fund suggests there has been a "worrying" fall in the number of nhs nurses. here's our health editor, hugh pym. with patient numbers rising, staff shortages and difficulties filling rotas have created increasing problems across the nhs. today, plans to try to boost recruitment in some parts of the health service in england will be announced, but new research suggests there are major challenges finding some clinical staff. the number of places for doctors starting specialist training in emergency medicine will be increased from 300 a year to 400. the health secretaryjeremy hunt is to extend a scheme offering a one—off payment of £20,000 to encouraged trainee gps to work in areas where recruitment has been difficult. but a report by the king's fund think tank says the number of nurses and health visitors in england is falling for the first time since 2013, with the number down byjust over 1,000 in the year to june. the royal college of emergency medicine said the recruitment plans for a&e doctors were comprehensive proposals to secure a sustainable workforce. the royal college of gps said £2.4 billion a year extra promised for general practice in england must be delivered in full. hugh pym, bbc news. teams of riot—trained officers have successfully resolved an incident at the long lartin high—security jail in worcestershire, according to the ministry ofjustice. dozens of inmates were reported to have attacked staff with pool balls in one wing of the prison overnight, which houses more than 600 offenders. a prison service spokesperson said there were no injuries to staff or prisoners — and that those responsible will be referred to the police and could have their sentences increased. 90 children are being taken into care every day in england and wales and it's claimed social workers are "firefighting" the most serious cases late into the night. the latest government figures show nearly 33,000 children were taken into care in 2017. the total number in care is a record 72,000, up 3% on 2016. council bosses, responsible for child protection services, say it's the biggest rise in seven years. later in the programme we will be hearing from a young person who was in care from the age of 12 to 17 and who is currently studying to be a social worker. people convicted of plotting acts of terror will face longer prison sentences, under proposed new guidelines. the sentencing council wants judges in england and wales to deal more harshly with offenders behind less sophisticated butjust as deadly terror plots seen recently. it says that minimum sentences should rise to between three and six years. here's our home affairs correspondent dominic casciani. an unprecedented year of terrorist attacks. khalid masood killed five in the westminster attack in march. four on the bridge as he turned a car into a weapon. the fifth victim, pc keith palmer, stabbed as he tried to stop masood entering parliament. one of five major incidents this year, with police saying they've stopped at least six more. the severity of the threat and the way it's been changing has led the sentencing council for england and wales to intervene. the council of senior judges and their advisers say terrorism suspects are moving more quickly to attack than ever before. they're turning everyday items, like cars and knives, into weapons. so it's recommending longerjail terms for those guilty of preparing acts of terrorism. we simply looked at the experience in this country in recent months and realised that the nature of the terrorist threat has undoubtedly changed in recent times. we felt it important to react to it and reflect this different type of offending. it's much more home—made than some of the terrorist schemes that we have had to deal with in the courts in the past. naweed ali, from birmingham, and two other men are already behind bars on life sentences. jailed this year, they hid weapons in a car, used encrypted communications to avoid detection, and indoctrinated each other. these proposals will apply most to lesser figures in such plotting and those just beginning to plan an attack. the sentencing council says the risks are too great not to lock them up for longer. dominic casciani, bbc news. the latest round of brexit negotiations between the uk and the european union ends today with no indications so far of a breakthrough. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, is due to breathe leaders of the other 27 eu nations next week before deciding whether there has been

from this just in from norman smith at westminster and it is to do with the woman who has been described as the white widow in the press. sally jones, a british woman, and isis supporter. they have confirmed that sallyjones has supporter. they have confirmed that sally jones has been supporter. they have confirmed that sallyjones has been killed in a drone strike. originally reported by the sun, whitehall officials have now confirmed sallyjones is dead. they confirmed that two norman smith. we will talk to him as soon as we can. sallyjones took her 12—year—old son out to syria with her. there is no news about him. she was originally from chatham in kent, born in greenwich in south—east london. after converting to islam she travelled from britain to islam she travelled from britain to syria in 2013 to join her husband and fellow brit, june eight hussein. he was killed in 2015 in a drone strike and after that the british media began to refer to her as the white widow. whitehall officials confirming that sallyjones, the is supporter who went out to syria in 2013 with her son, has been killed ina drone 2013 with her son, has been killed in a drone strike. originally from kent she became a high—profile recruiter and supporter of is and had various handles on twitter. no posts from her in recent months. officials said two norman that reports that she had been killed will not end up being proved wrong. but it guided him away from claims that she was killed fleeing the former is stronghold of raqqa. more on that to come. let's bring you the spot with ollie and we are talking about swimming and we are talking about swimming and the concerns of allegations of bullying. a number of sports like cycling, bobsleigh, over the bullying. a number of sports like cycling, bobsleigh, overthe last few months had to take a long, hard look at themselves over concerns over allegations of bullying and this culture of winning at all costs in the pursuit of medals. british swimming conducted this investigation in the wake of the paralympics and their paralympic programme. 13 athletes came forward in the wake of what was an incredibly successful real games with 47 medals and 16 gold medals. but there were complaints of bullying from a coach who has since left his post. that is understood to be rob greenwood. he left before this inquiry got going. british swimming have apologised to those 13 athletes, saying they and their families have faced an acceptable behaviours. that is that rob greenwood was found to have been communicating with athletes in an abusive manner, as well as using derogatory terms to describe athletes, many of them vulnerable teenagers and champions as well. this was across—the—board. he left hisjob. it is not known this was across—the—board. he left his job. it is not known whether he disputes the allegations placed against him. he has been contacted by the bbc and has declined to comment. but the chair of british swimming, maurice watkins, said in the pursuit of excellence we recognise there have been failings in the culture and communication within british para swimming. a second coach was also investigated. he still remains in post. there are concerns over that investigation which were communication and management issues. british swimming is looking very hard at itself and the conduct around its para swimmers. what reaction has there been? baroness tanni grey—thompson has been at the forefront of looking into the culture within sport, and she said after this inquiry, she said it should never be underestimated how hard it was for those on the programme to step forward and raise their concerns. as we have seen across a number of sports, the culture and system is not protecting its assets in the way it should. tim hollingsworth, the chief executive of the british paralympic association said: right, let's talk about ben stokes, as we have a lot in the last few weeks, still waiting to find out if he will be charged by police, but he has lost a sponsor. yeah, and equipment maker, new balance, they make shoes and kids, worth somewhere in the region of £200,000 a year to him, they have pulled that sponsorship with immediate effect, distancing themselves from the england all—rounder. they say it does not condone behaviour by our global athletes that does not match our brand culture and values. interesting timing, this, a few weeks now since that video emerged of the brawl outside a bristol nightclub in the early hours that appeared to show stokes punching a man several times, and he was arrested under suspicion of causing actual bodily harm. the sponsor pulling that money away from stokes camejust a pulling that money away from stokes came just a couple of hours after he surfaced for the first time in any form, on social media, because if you remember, a few weeks after he was arrested, and other video emerged of him appearing to impersonate the tv celebrity katie price and her disabled son harvey, and he was castigated for that by katie price, saying it was shameful at the time. but he did release a statement on social media yesterday, victoria, saying, i loved harvey's directness with his response, that is what he was impersonating. what most of us think about internet trolls, but i foolishly attempted to copy the clip after i saw it a few times, should never have done this, iamso times, should never have done this, i am so sorry, he says he has apologised personally to katie price and harvey, and he wants to help their anti—bullying cause as well. so losing a sponsor, servicing for the first time to apologise for and an related thing in relation to his arrest, which we are still waiting to find out what happens to. thank you very much, olly. straight to westminster, where norman is, this story about sally jones, westminster, where norman is, this story about sallyjones, the british isis supporter in syria, first reported in the sun, you have had a death confirmed by whitehall. yes, they say the story will not be proved wrong. of course, sally jones, very high—profile target in the sense that she was a very unlikely recruit to is, a muslim convert from chatham in kent, former punk rocker who fled to syria with her muslim husband. she was regarded as key within is for trying to attract, recruit western sympathisers, and also particularly women. so she was, if you like, a high—profile target. the exact circumstances of her death are still somewhat grey. the sources i have been speaking to this but the suggestion that she was bullying raqqa, he is stronghold, which has now been reta ken raqqa, he is stronghold, which has now been retaken by iraqi and other troops. but it does seem she was killed in a us drone strike. that will be the latest in a series of drone strikes used to take out is targets. controversial, and there has been criticism of them, because they are viewed almost as assassinations, executions, and you will remember that was sparked by the drone strike that took out jihadijohn, so there the drone strike that took out jihadi john, so there will be some criticism, but by and large i think people within government and elsewhere will be relieved at this latest development. were they able to give any news about her 12—year—old son, who she took out to syria with? she did. there are suggestions in sun that her son, i think he was only 12 years old, so still very young, that he may have been killed in the drone strike. as i say, that is in the sun, no mention of the circumstances surrounding her son, and that would raise further questions about the ethics surrounding drone strikes if her son has been killed. butjust to stress again, i absolutely do not have any confirmation of that news. thank you very much, norman, for the moment. norman smith at westminster, where it has been confirmed to him by whitehall officials that sally jones, known as the white widow, originally born in greenwich, moved to chatham in kent, went out to syria as an is supporter and recruited to join her husband out there, was killed in a us drone strike earlier this year. the energy market is broken and punishes loyalty — that's according to the government, which today publishes draft legislation that could see 18 million people have their energy bills capped. it's thought customers of the big six energy firms are paying a whopping £1.4 billion more than they should be each year. that is you, isn't it? exactly how and when this will be implemented is still unknown, and it will largely depend what type of tariff you're on. but do you even know what energy plan you're signed up to? greg dawson reports. how much do you know, yourself, about what tariff you're on? i've no idea. and why is that? because i'm not allowed anywhere near the money in the house, the missus takes care of it. i literally wouldn't know, genuinely. i know how much the sky is, yeah. why do you think it is you know things about how much your sky tv or your netflix costs, but when it comes to the basics like the gas and electric, it's a bit more confusing for people? i suppose it's the desire to want to pay attention to it, really. i mean, isn't putting the boiler in the mostjoyless way to spend £1000? so anything that's associated with that kind of thing isn't interesting. if i was to say to you the phrase standard variable tariff... ? yes, i think i've got standard, yes, i've heard of that. do you know who supplies your gas and electricity? i do, yes, npower. you're more across it than other people! i do a lot of work, actually, for an energy company, so i like to feel i'm quite savvy. yes, i've recently switched, actually, to a different provider, so... so you're quite proactive in checking out that you've got the best deal? yeah, i'd say so. it's one of those things i look into, and then it's changeable, it's so changeable, i suppose, would be the answer, that i have the kind of energy supplier that i've always had, and i kind of stick with that — unless it's a dramatic difference. i'm not particularly engaged with it. i do follow it in the press, that everything's going up and need to be capped. this will probably prompt me to have a look when i get home, to be quite honest. go and then, when it comes to your bills, do you know what rates you're on at the moment, is it a fixed rate? it is a fixed rate, i believe, yeah. you believe? i believe, yes... i don't know exactly, i'll be honest with you. the idea about the best deal is it might be the best deal today, but will it be the best deal tomorrow? will it be the best deal the day after tomorrow? you can't spend your whole life looking for the best deals every day, because you've actually got to live your life. this morning the net and energy secretary said the market did need to change to protect customers. what we're going to do was put a bill before parliament which will give ofgem, the energy regulator, the requirement to put in a safeguard for energy consumers so that they don't pay more than is a reasonable level if they are on these tariffs that have been found to be very poor value for money. consumers already have the ability to switch to cheaper deals, isn't the danger that you end up putting the cost of gas for some people and simply raising the price of those deals for people who have switched around? what the competition authority found was that there were two markets, in effect, a very vigorous market where people have the opportunity to move to very competitive supplies, that is highly competed over, but there is another pa rt competed over, but there is another part of a market where competition is very slow, in which the companies can and are overcharging customers. so what we want to do is to give some protection to those customers, while we drive competition through the whole market. that is greg clark, business secretary. let's talk to conservative mp john penrose. he's campaigned for a fuel cap and now says the government must implement it quickly. rebecca long—bailey is the shadow secretary of state for energy. lea shaw has been struggling to pay her fuel bills since her disability benefits were cut two years ago. rich towton, a married father of two, who struggles to keep up with his fuel bills. and ruth london is from the grassroots group fuel poverty action. thank you all very much for coming on the programme. john penrose, first of all, the five of the big six energy companies have recently put up their standard variable tariffs. what do you say a cap will do in practical terms? tariffs. what do you say a cap will do in practicalterms? it will make our energy a great deal more affordable, and it will mean that for those of us, as you were showing in yourclips, for those of us, as you were showing in your clips, those for whom life is too busy and we forget to switch, or we remember and then recycle off on to the ordinary default tariffs, it will mean we cannot be ripped off too badly. we need to make sure that if you have the time to switch, you save extra money, but for most of us, 17 million households on these rip—off tariffs, it will mean we are not paying too much, although we could do better if we remembered to switch. the plan is to, quote, set a cap which stops prices rising an unreasonable amount. that does not guarantee that bills will not go up next year. there was an argument about what kind of cap we can have, and it is great that we are in a position where we are arguing about what kind of cap, rather than whether there will be one. what is the point of a cap and price still go up? it depends on the international price of gas. but what is the point of a cap? when wholesale prices have gone up, the big six have raised their prices really fast, but it has come down very slowly. so we have all ended up paying whenever that moves. so people could still end up paying more, you acknowledge that? they might, but they will be paying less than they otherwise would have been without a cap. do you accept that, rebecca long—bailey, on behalf of labour? we will wait to see the details of the bill, we just have a few snippets in the press, no concrete details about whether this will be flexible or rigid. it is a very good idea to have a price cap, and all of us on the panel agree with that entirely. what we don't agree with is the fact that it has taken so long for the government to implement this. it was a manifesto commitment that they made. we saw the prime minister wrote back on that, allegedly under pressure from the big six energy companies and members of the shadow cabinet. after a lot of pressure from her own numbers of parliament, the labour party and other groups, such as fuel poverty action, they have brought it back again, and now we are in a position where greg clark is on the cusp of publishing a bill. but we wa nt cusp of publishing a bill. but we want to see the manifesto commitment at least, but we want reform of the energy market as a whole, because a price cap is a temporary fix. it will not reform the broken energy market, it will not stop the big players operating in the way that they have been. we need more transparency and fairness. thank you for talking to us, you have struggled to pay your bills since your disability benefits were cut two years ago. you have to make serious decisions about whether you put the heating on for an hour? serious decisions about whether you put the heating on for an hour7m is notjust putting the heating on foran is notjust putting the heating on for an hour, it is whether or not i can afford to buy food. the poverty trap is there, it is real. disabled people like me struggle all the time, single families. a cap is not going to make much difference to people like me. the cap may come into power next year, a year later. we should be getting rebates, because we are crippled, and i mean coupled, —— crippled, by fuel prices for the car, for home, we need them, but the fat cats, in my opinion, make millions on it. and on the other scale, people are dying. i have just come through the most horrendous asthma attacks. six weeks i was horrendous asthma attacks. six weeks iwas in horrendous asthma attacks. six weeks i was in them, six weeks! and yet i couldn't afford to put my heating on. you know? john penrose, conservative mp, do you balance that out, high fuel bills coupled with disability benefit cuts that have been made under your government, they have put her in desperate straits. that is why i have been complaining for this fuel cap. but do you accept, when you look at the bigger picture, with other stuff going on, decisions made by your government? i would accept that the best way to make things more affordable is to reduce the cost of things which people have to pay for everyday — energy is one. things which people have to pay for everyday - energy is one. or don't cut disability benefits. a much bigger question to answer. well, try! if you look at the way that the disability benefits have been altered and changed over time, this started under the labour party, and we carried on in the coalition and the conservatives, and it has been done with huge input from disability charities and the like, saying, how do we want to try to assess this so disability benefits are done on the basis of what you can do, rather than what you cannot do. are you proud when you hear this story, prior to have cut them in the way you have? i am proud of the fact that more people who are on disability benefits get more support to get into work. she is rolling her eyes at the moment. i understand what she is saying, and i think that the answer is to try and reduce the costs of fuel, and that will leave her with more money in her pocket. when will it happen?” her with more money in her pocket. when will it happen? i want it to happen fast, and we are only four or five months after the general election, so we are moving reasonably quickly, but a bill that has to go through parliament, and rebecca will back me up, it can take yea rs before rebecca will back me up, it can take years before it starts to bite. i wa nt years before it starts to bite. i want is to move as fast as we can to make it happen for everybody in this situation. i can see you smiling as john penrose says these things. people are dying as a result of this when you have your benefits cut. every winter in this country around 8000 people die in cold homes. other families are affected, the kids are ill all the time, they cannot go to school. they go to schooljust to keep warm. then they cannot pay attention to their lessons. cap will help, but you also have to look at low income and high costs. the other aspect of that is the state of our homes in this country. it is appalling. the insulation programmes we are running successfully with millions of homes, 2 million every year being insulated, were cut dramatically by this government and the previous coalition government. they were cut dramatically on the grounds that it was green crap. this insulation and draughty homes did not matter. that is how people end up not matter. that is how people end up freezing in their homes. not matter. that is how people end up freezing in their homeslj apologise for the use of the c word. people understand the context. tell us people understand the context. tell us about your situation. people understand the context. tell us about your situationlj people understand the context. tell us about your situation. i live in andover in hampshire. i am married with three kids. my energy prices have gone up nearly double. my wages have gone up nearly double. my wages have not gone up by nearly double, so have not gone up by nearly double, so how can my energy prices go up? how do you react to the fact that maybe sometime next year cap will be brought in four people on the standard variable rate which is the key thing? what good is next year or the year after that for me? i am paying the same amount for the next 12 months or two years. why can't it happen now? theresa may said there would not be any price hikes, didn't she? she had said the market was broken and a price cap would help people like yourselves. conservatives traditionally have been friends to big business. you have heard the energy companies saying this is not good for competition because all the tea companies will raise their prices to the cap. if something is opposed by the cap. if something is opposed by the big six, we should realise we are on the right track. they say a loss of billions when it comes to investment and jobs.|j loss of billions when it comes to investment and jobs. i do not think thatis investment and jobs. i do not think that is right, it is special pleading. as rebecca said, this market is broken, it is not producing the kind of investment or it is not producing the kind of value for money for customers. how would labour reform the energy market? we would implement a temporary price cap. the same as the conservatives? we would bring average bills under £1000 which might be the same as the conservatives, we will see what is outlined today. but we want to reform the broken energy market and create regionally owned, public energy companies not—for—profit to rival big six and drive down prices. we would look at the wholesale energy market and ensure there was more transparency. we are in a situation now where it is very murky. you have got companies selling back to themselves and their supply arms and there is no transparency over price. people do not know whether the prices in their homes are acceptable or not. we would work very hard to reform the market on day one. a lot depends also on the size of the cap. just outside the studio i found this little one. what is that messy-mac it isa little one. what is that messy-mac it is a tiny cap, people are afraid that while the energy companies' profits are going through the roof, we will be left with very little adjustment. the bills have gone up about £100 a year. theresa may promise to cut them by £100 a year and we are running to stand still. something much more wholesale is needed. definitely a cap, but go to renewable energy and insulation and deal with these disability benefits and people's incomes. thank you all very much. your views are welcome as always. also to come: the political crisis surrounding whether catalonia will push for independence continues. the prime minister has set a five—day deadline for the region to ban the plan or face direct rule. and my heart stopped at my sister's wedding. not in a romantic way. kylie williams collapsed from a cardiac arrest as her sister was walking down the aisle, despite being fine moments before. they are here to tell the extraordinary story for the first time. time for the latest news. whitehall officials have confirmed the is supported dubbed the white widow by the media has been killed ina drone widow by the media has been killed in a drone strike. sallyjones, originally from chatham in kent, had become a high supporter of and recruiter for the so—called islamic state group. the government has published a draft legislation to cap standard variable energy tariffs which cost more than other deals. ofgem said it could not impose such a cat without a legal framework. theresa may said the energy market is broken. the conservative mpjohn penrose has campaigned for a fuel cap. those of us for whom life is too busy and we forget to switch and we cycle off onto the ordinary default tariffs, it will mean we cannot be ripped off too badly. if you do have the time to switch, you still save extra money, but for most of us, and it is 17 million households on these tariffs, it means we are paying too much, although we could do better if we switched as well. harvey weinstein may be stripped of his association with the

too lazy to change. the headlines in sport, british swimming has apologised to 13 of its power athletes and their families after finding they were subjected to unacceptable behaviour. an independent enquiry found a former coach had created a climate of fear. ben stokes has lost a lucrative sponsor deal with a sports equipment supplier following his arrest last month on suspicion of causing actual

yesterday the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy gave the catalan leader, carles puigdemont, five days to clarify whether or not the region has declared independence. he threatened catalonia that it may be put back under direct rule from madrid. let's speak now to professor alfred de zayas, united nations independent expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order. he wrote a report for un secretary general ban ki—moon on the right to self—determination in 2014. he is also a professor of diplomacy at geneva university. rodrigo martinez lives in barcelona and didn't vote in the referendum as he didn't think it was legal. he doesn't think catalonia should have independence. elizabeth castro, a writer and publisher, who has lived in catalonia for 30 years. she has written several books on independence in catalonia. what does international law say and how does it apply in spain? there has been a progressive development of international law that has taken the right of self—determination much beyond just decolonisation. we have seen the unilateral declarations of independence of slovenia, croatia, bosnia—herzegovina, kosovo, and that has also created international law president that cannot be ignored, besides the international court of justice in 2010 stated that a unilateral declaration of independence does not in itself violate international law. what is important to understand is that the right of self—determination is right up right of self—determination is right up peoples. it is not the prerogative of states to grant or deny it. whereas, the principle of territorial integrity, this is important, it is there to protect a state from encroachment of its territorial integrity by another state. we read that in resolutions 26, 25, 23, 14, state. we read that in resolutions 26,25,23,14, of the general assembly. i do not see how today in modern international law you can invoke territorial integrity to prevent or oppose or to crush a home—grown self—determination aspiration. rodrigo did not think it was legal and did not vote. what do you think should happen next? good morning. yes, i am opposite to the vote of independence. but i think the professor is right when he says self—determination is the right of the people. but i have to say in this case the government of catalonia is disregarding more than half of the catalan people. in this case there is not the right of people. let me bring in elizabeth. rodrigo feels that he and people like him with those views are being ignored in this debate. ruglj like him with those views are being ignored in this debate. rug i wish that they would be speaking their mind, they have been silent, and in fa ct mind, they have been silent, and in fact in the elections that brought us fact in the elections that brought us the current government, they were the highest elections in catalan history, so a lot of the unionists we re history, so a lot of the unionists were present, and in fact 48% of the voters chose a government that had, on its platform, seeking independence from —— for catalonia. 1196 independence from —— for catalonia. 11% did not have any opinion on the matter, did not want to position themselves. so, briefly, what would you like to see happen next, then?” would like to see an exercise in democracy. the people voted on october the 1st, more than 2 million people came out to vote, even though they were beaten by police, tear—gassed, physically kept from the polls, and still they made their voices heard, and i think that result should be reflected. professor, in the end, the two sides are going to have to talk, it is how you resolve everything, isn't it?” very much believe in the utility of internationalising the conflict. i think that the european high commissioner on human rights should offer their good offices, also the secretary—general of the united nations, antonio guterres, should put in an offer of mediation. we cannot afford a civil war. we do not wa nt cannot afford a civil war. we do not want violence. we want troops, armistice, opportunity to dialogue, and giving an ultimatum of five days, which expires on the 16th of october, is not very democratic. —— truce. i think that demophobia, the fear of the people, is something that we need to sweep away. in modern europe, my proposal would be, since not every catalan was allowed to participate in an orderly, monitored referendum on the 1st of october, i would monitored referendum on the 1st of october, iwould propose monitored referendum on the 1st of october, i would propose that a new referendum be called in which everyone can participate, and then we can call our friends to come and monitor the process. ok, thank you, thank you so much all of you, demophobia is a word i have never heard before, but i like it very much. still to come, as cara delevingne becomes the latest woman to complain of harvey weinstein's sexual harassment, we will speak to a journalist who got the story from her first. that is a journalist who got the story from herfirst. that is lea seydoux, who also talked about what harvey weinstein had done to her, allegedly. "i expected it to be the best day of my life but it was the worst." that's not normally what you hope a bride will say about their wedding day but for one wife—to—be, jodie williams, her wedding day ended without a wedding and with her sister in an induced coma in hospital after having a cardiac arrest. carly williams was walking down the aisle as maid—of—honour at her younger sisterjodie's £70,000 wedding injuly this year when with no warning she collapsed and had a cardiac arrest in front of her family, friends and her two young sons. thank you very much for coming on, what do you remember about that day? i can't be very much at all, the last thing i remember is being on the train in the morning, i came up with my niece, i remember being on the train, then there is a massive gap, and! the train, then there is a massive gap, and i remembertwo the train, then there is a massive gap, and i remember two days later, being in hospital, not having a clue what had happened. i sort of looked down, i didn't know what was going on. filling the gaps for our audience. so talking about wedding day... you are at the top of the aisle, carly was behind you. she actually walked before, so i got to the top of the aisle, and i heard some sort of commotion behind me, turned around, and ijust saw my sister laying on one of the other bridesmaids. what did you think, honestly? i thought, what is she doing? i thought she was being a drama queen, to be honest. i thought it was a bit over the top! enough! and then quickly became apparent that it wasn'tjust and then quickly became apparent that it wasn't just a faint, and then quickly became apparent that it wasn'tjust a faint, it and then quickly became apparent that it wasn't just a faint, it was more serious than we thought. i think some sort of family members asked for some first aid, and one of the guests came forward, susan, and she started to perform cpr on carly. i think my brother started cpr for a short period of time. then my cousins came forward, when my mum came out screaming, get a different later, we need oxygen, we need some air, she was sane, actually. and that was it, i was taken out of the room, my friend was saying, don't go in there, you don't want to see that, but all i could see was movement, someone doing cpr, someone saying, she hasjust had a panic attack, and i said, why are they doing that, then? because of the shock, it was all a bit of a blur, it didn't really hit me, the true severity of what was going on. an ambulance was called, you are taken to saint thomas's, close to the venue. they were brilliant. your dad had spent £70,000 on this wedding, no wedding insurance, i know this is just trivial, but setting the context for our audience. so carly is on her way to hospital, what do you do with your guests?” is on her way to hospital, what do you do with your guests? i was set aside, people said, you need to stay in yourdress, but aside, people said, you need to stay in your dress, but ijust wanted to get out of the dress, i was there for a couple of hours, saying, i wa nt for a couple of hours, saying, i want to call the wedding off, what shall i do? i went and for the phone call, and he said, yeah, you can go where it, tell the guests to eat. i said, ican't where it, tell the guests to eat. i said, i can't just where it, tell the guests to eat. i said, i can'tjust walk where it, tell the guests to eat. i said, i can't just walk out where it, tell the guests to eat. i said, i can'tjust walk out of where it, tell the guests to eat. i said, i can't just walk out of the wedding without seeing the guests, because i hadn't seen anyone. me and my partner went upstairs then came back down, and i said, look, everyone , back down, and i said, look, everyone, my sister is in a coma, i can't be here, but eat, you have been waiting around for a while, i don't know, get on with it. and you went straight to the hospital.” don't know, get on with it. and you went straight to the hospital. i ran upstairs to get changed, go to the hospital, and they were preparing carly to see us, and they said, it is not very nice. i said, no, it is fine. that is when it really hit me. when you saw her in the bed with the wires. i have seen it before, i saw my grandad on life support and when they switched it off, and this was much worse. so the moral of this story is that two people, they knew how to do cpr, and when you had a cardiac arrest, which i am going to tell you, you know this, but people don't, and neither did i untili tell you, you know this, but people don't, and neither did i until i was reading about you — a heart attack can lead to a cardiac arrest, but they are not the same thing. a heart attack is where blood flow is blocked and causes pain. a cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating. you need to cpr asap or you will die. literally, cpr needs to be started straightaway, which is why i am backing the british heart foundation, their campaign starts on monday to try and get as many people across the country trained up in cpr, because unless cpr started, i don't know the exact statistics, but your chance of survival decreases every minute. about 1096 your chance of survival decreases every minute. about 10% every every minute. about 1096 every minute. that is how much it reduces survival chances. so the more people we re survival chances. so the more people were trained in cpr, if this had happened in front of anyone, the more people who know what to do, we think it will save lives. and to get defibrillators out as well, because without that, to shock the heart back into rhythm, you need the defibrillator. so that is very important. you had a defibrillator but didn't know how to use it, but somebody did. my cousin stepped in. they had only had first aid training two we e ks they had only had first aid training two weeks previously through work, so two weeks previously through work, so itjust shows how two weeks previously through work, so it just shows how having the training, it did save someone's life. they didn't expect to use it two weeks later. you felt bad that your sister's wedding was called off. at first, they didn't want to tell me, and when i found out, i felt so bad that i had ruined the wedding. but your dad had a great line. he said, your wedding saves carly's life, because i felt guilty that it was my fault, but actually, because the guests were able to be there, and how often do have a defibrillator at your place? not very often! if it was going to happen, it was the best place for it. how old are you? 34. do you know why you had a cardiac arrest? no, they performed a number of tests, mri, ct, but they still don't know. how do you manage it now?” mri, ct, but they still don't know. how do you manage it now? i have had a device fitted which monitors my heart rate so that if it were ever to happen again, it should shock my heart back into a normal rhythm, and iam taking heart back into a normal rhythm, and i am taking beta—blockers as well. so they are both as a precaution, if you like, because they cannot find the reason for it, which is quite scary, we don't quite yet know why it has happened. we need to go for genetic testing, which i am quite nervous about, to be honest with you. and how are you? considering what has happened, a lot of people would say i feel a lot better than they would have expected me to feel, but i mainly feel tired. if i am busy for one day, i might suffer for two days, where i feel absolutely exhausted. mentally, i have been quite anxious, because every time i feel a bit dizzy or anything, i think, is it going to happen again? but i suppose that is to be expected, and hopefully in time, eve ryo ne expected, and hopefully in time, everyone has said you should begin to feel more confident. but you don't like to be on your own.” mainly with my sister and other family members all the time, i want to be with somebody, just in case. maybe in time i will get back to normal, i am just feeling very lucky that i am still here. have you set and date? as your dad got another few grand in the bank? hopefully! i don't know, once she is fully re cove red, don't know, once she is fully recovered, i am don't know, once she is fully recovered, lam hoping don't know, once she is fully recovered, i am hoping to do it early next year, i want to get married before the wedding season starts again, it gets a bit depressing, now we know carly is ok, of course. before the wedding season starts, i would like to be married before then. i don't know how i feel about being a bridesmaid, i may not be able to do it again! i don't fa ncy be able to do it again! i don't fancy walking down the heiligendamm no, fairenough, thank fancy walking down the heiligendamm no, fair enough, thank you very much, both of you, such an important message to get out. thank you. the british heart foundation kicks off it's restart a heart campaign to get 150,000 new life—savers trained in a single day on monday the 16th of october. we will bring you the latest news and sport in a moment, but

were suggestions she was fleeing raqqa, the is stronghold, which has now been reta ken stronghold, which has now been reta ke n by stronghold, which has now been retaken by iraqi and otherforces. those reports have not been confirmed. i have been guided away from the idea that she was killed while fleeing the city. however, i am told that the suggestion that she was taken out in a drone strike, quote, should not be proved wrong. she was a very high—profile target because she was seen as a recruiter, if you like, for westerners sympathetic to is in particular because she was a woman. it was thought she might encourage other women who were sympathetic to is to travel to syria. she was if you like a high—profile target, albeit she came from the most unlikely backgrounds. a mother of

son jojo, who is 12 clear is what has happened to her sonjojo, who is 12 years old now. there are reports that he was also killed in the drone strike. that is not confirmed. that in itself could cause

weinstein continue to emerge, with cara delevingne one of the latest names to speak out. the british model said after meeting him about a possible film role, he invited her to his hotel room where another woman was waiting, and tried to get her to kiss the woman, then blocked the door to his hotel room when ms delavigne attempted to leave, and tried to kiss her. angelina jolie, gwyneth paltrow and rose mcgowan are among others who say they were harassed by him. together, the claims build up a picture of one of the most powerful men in the industry exerting pressure on younger women at the start of their careers, often in hotel rooms and offices. the suggestions spoken or unspoken were that he could advance their careers if they went along with him. or he could do serious damage to their dreams if they did not. harvey weinstein has admitted his behaviour has "caused a lot of pain" but says many of the allegations against him are "patently false" and he denies any ‘allegations of non—consensual sex'. we can speak now to yashar ali, the journalist who broke the story of cara delevingne's accusations. sandro monetti, a showbusiness and celebrity reporter based in the us, and rosie hilal, an actor who is also a representative of the actors‘ union equity which has previously investigated abuses of the so—called casting couch. what did cara delevingne tell you? she told me that when she first started acting she had a phone call with harvey weinstein where he asked her if she had slept with any of the women she was photographed with publicly. she found that assertion deeply offensive. if she were to be successful in hollywood, she should not ever appear in public with a woman ina not ever appear in public with a woman in a romantic way. when she met with him at a hotel, he invited herup toa met with him at a hotel, he invited her up to a room, and she initially was hesitant to go, but felt better when she found that there was another women in the room. she felt it was a professional setting. when she got there, he encouraged her to kiss the women and then he blocked herfrom kiss the women and then he blocked her from leaving before kiss the women and then he blocked herfrom leaving before she kiss the women and then he blocked her from leaving before she was able to get out. what did she feel about what had happened to her? she was embarrassed and humiliated and she starred in a film afterwards that she felt terrible for. but she said she felt terrible for. but she said she did in her statement to me. she was in one of his film‘s after that incident? yes. what you make of the fa ct incident? yes. what you make of the fact that now they seem to be plenty of people in hollywood who a p pa re ntly of people in hollywood who apparently knew of these rumours about this man, and bear in mind he denies a lot of these allegations, but also that journalists denies a lot of these allegations, but also thatjournalists knew but the story has taken this long to come out? it is something i have dealt with here in the states reporting on fox news, there are rumours about lots of news anchors, they engage in inappropriate behaviour, the same with men like harvey weinstein in hollywood. it is often very hard as a journalist to get women to confirm, understandably because it is embarrassing and they do not want to deal with the public scrutiny, to get them to confirm that they have been harassed, assaulted, in a way that meets the standards of a news organisation. you cannot write about it. the laws here are much tougher in the us and you cannot write about it unless you have confirmation from the victim and they have given you permission to tell their story. until the dam breaks, so to speak, where one woman comes out, or two women come out, as happened in the new york times last week with ashleyjudd saying that he harassed her in a hotel about 20 yea rs harassed her in a hotel about 20 years ago, it is very difficult for women to say they faced this sort of assault. thank you very much. rosie hillard is an actor and a representative of the actors poor union equity. has it happened to you? not necessarily with him. i definitely experienced some form of sexual harassment. they are exceptions the people who act like that, but they are very much of the harvey weinstein persuasion in they think they can get away with it and they get away with it and people generally keep it quiet because people no secrets, they are in powerful positions and actors are always vulnerable because their employment is never agreed. actresses were less than actors because there are fewer roles for them. without naming any names or mentioning any venues, can you give us an mentioning any venues, can you give us an indication of things you have experience? one individual regularly insulted actors and actresses, but always people younger or in a more vulnerable position than himself. using what kind of language? really offensive language i could not repeat on tv. also they consulted the appearance of many actresses while they were in the process of getting ready for show, potentially in theirdressing getting ready for show, potentially in their dressing gowns, really offensive and intimidating. i was afraid and told not to say anything at the time by people who cared about me and wanted me to work again. it is a hush—hush culture and i hope this changes with the people who have stepped forward. i admire them. equity, and the whole performance industry, where sexual harassment happens with stage managers, young female assistant directors, they have encouraged everyone to step forward and they will take very seriously any allegations and the reason for that culture is that people in the industry wants to work, and you feel, if you speak up, speak out about someone sexually harassing or bullying you, especially someone in a position of power who can give you work, it is not with it in case you do not get that next job. exactly, exactly. a very secretive industry, lots of decisions made behind closed doors, or processes are often quite informal, so it is easy for these things to get out of hand, and people to be put involved rebel positions without them or their agents knowing it, and before you know it, you have experienced something awful. you have to make a call as to whether you risk your career call as to whether you risk your careerand complain call as to whether you risk your career and complain about it or not. sandro, we heard about the dam breaking, are these allegations only about one man, or are there others, without naming names, in hollywood who will be worried right now? the casting couch has been around since the days of silent movies. hopefully, some good can come from this, it can be a turning point now that hollywood‘s most shameful open secret has gone public, maybe we can throw the catch sting carriage in the dustbin. sexual harassment has been around as long as movies have been around as long as movies have been around, and this is somebody who had the power to make or break careers. so many people in hollywood, then and now, have had that power, and maybe this will make those people in power consider their behaviour, and huge congratulations to those brave enough to come forward. it is absolutely sickening, it has to stop, and i hope this is a turning page in history. thank you, all of you, i appreciate your time this morning. still to come before 11 o‘clock: record numbers of kids are in care. 90 children every day were taken into the system last year. we speak to two young people who grew up in care and to the children‘s commissioner to ask why the numbers are increasing and what can be done. today marks four years since six former british servicemen, known as the chennai six, were detained in india along with 35 other crew members of us anti—piracy vessel the mv seaman. tasked with protecting merchant seamen in some of the world‘s most dangerous waters, the ship passed through a storm and close to running out of fuel strayed into indian waters to dock and get vital supplies. when officials boarded the ship, they found guns and ammunition, these were legally held weapons for anti—piracy work and were accompanied by paperwork issued by the uk government. the indian high court at first dismissed the case, stating all the paperwork was in order, but while waiting for an appeal to have the charges officially dropped a local magistrate claimed the men hadn‘t demonstrated they were on anti—piracy duties. several appeals later, and the men are still locked up in india. i‘ve been speaking to lisa dunn, the sister of nick dunn, joanne thomlinson, the sister ofjohn armstrong, their solicitor stephen askins and yvonne machugh, the fiance of billy irving and their two—year—old son william. yvonne explained what it was like bringing up her son without her partner. it‘s incredibly difficult. i mean, you‘re having to bring a child up on your own and having to provide for them on your own. and then trying to explain to him that his daddy isn‘t here but his daddy loves him very much and would be here if he could be. it is very difficult. in some aspects, william‘s helped me a lot, throughout all of this, and helped billy as well. it‘s given billy something to fight for, even harder than he would have before, and it‘sjust given me the strength really, to carry on fighting for billy. let me bring injoanne. you have been out to see your brotherjohn five times, the last time was at the end of may. how is he? he's doing incredibly well, as are all the men. they've lost a lot of weight, and john's incredibly frustrated with the legal process. obviously, they've been waiting a huge amount of time for their appeal, which they filed really quickly after they were convicted in february last year. they filed the appeal, and they're still waiting for an outcome on that. but other than that, he manages to keep himself quite bright. he's learning a foreign language, he walks a lot, and that's how he really gets through his days. 0k. and, lisa, you‘ve been out a few times as well. the last time was earlier this year. how would you say your brother nick is? i've been out three times, and the last time i saw nick, i took our dad out there for the first time. how old‘s your dad? how old is he? he's 71. right. and that was... it sounds quite bizarre, but it was just a magical time in that prison cell. we could have been anywhere for that moment, for nick to see his dad for the first time in such a long time. but understandably, cracks are starting to show. he's desperately, desperately tired, and they do so much to try and keep their mind healthy and occupied, but at the end of the day, they're still in a prison cell and the resilience that each of the men are showing throughout this is truly admirable. it's incredible, and we're incredibly proud of each one of them, for the strength that they have, but they only get the strength from us. let me bring in your solicitor, stephen askins. there might be some people watching who are thinking, look, the men wouldn‘t have been injail for this length of time unless they‘d done something. what do you say to that, mr askins? well, i‘ve been involved in cases like this before, but this is a genuine miscarriage of justice. these men were doing theirjob, they were protecting commercial shipping from the very real threat of somalian piracy. this sort of thing, weapons going in and out of india, is happening every day, every week, as part of the ongoing process of maritime security. and for some reason, these guys have just been caught up and arrested and put in prison for all this time, and there really is nothing there, in terms of any underlying malice or anything really, which justifies what‘s happening. yeah. we asked for an interview with the foreign office, we have a statement from the foreign office minister mark field, who said, "it‘s not for us to tell..." he‘s very sympathetic but he says, "it‘s not for us to tell india‘s independentjustice system what to do." "we cannot and should not do that but we can make clear the importance we place on this case, which is why the prime minister raised it with the indian prime minister during the g20 summit earlier this year, and the foreign secretary raised it with his indian counterpart." is there anything more they should be doing? well... sorry, stephen, sorry to interrupt, i want to ask lisa and joanna and yvonne that, sorry. yeah, we believe so. the whole point of our campaign and our lobbying the british government is that we want them to do more. we know they've raised this case over 50 times at ministerial level in the last four years with their indian counterparts. what else could they do, then? we want them to put more pressure on in these discussions. we're not privy to the information of what goes on in these discussions, but we think the fact that 35 innocent men, six of them, the chennai six who we're fighting for, the fact that they're still in prison after four years means not enough pressure's being put on by the british government, and that's what we're campaigning for, more pressure. do you feel they‘ve been forgotten? certainly not by us. no, of course, absolutely. but yeah, i do, i feel very let down. i know that the men feel very let down by the british government. these men stood on the front line and served our country. they protected us, and it's high time that our government protected them and served them. i think the simple fact that mark field said that he can't tell india what to do, that's never been our request — we've never asked them to tell india what to do. all we've ever asked for is a fair trial process, and that's something that we've never had from day one. the outcome of this appeal was due, i think, before last christmas, you‘re expecting it any time. the judge has actuallyjust withdrawn from the case, hasn‘t he? are you expecting that to be a further delay? yeah, when we first got the news that the judge had stepped down from the appeal, it was obviously very disheartening and distressing, the fact that we‘re going to have to go through this yet again. but when i stood back and had a look at it, it‘s probably the biggest step forward we‘ve had in two years. ok. it means the judge has admitted that he‘s not competent enough to look at this case, he says it‘s too complicated. so we have the chance now to have a judge who is up to scratch to look at the case, and the opportunity to have it heard properly and the men then finally to get justice. and finally, what would your brothers, what would your fiance say to people watching right now? don't forget us, i think that would be the main thing. that's the main thing that keeps them going. they know how much public support there is. we've got over 400,000 signatures on the petition. that keeps them going and it helps them to know that they're not alone and that gets them through every day. nick has regularly written saying he wouldn't be so mentally strong without the support that he's getting. i know they appreciate it every single second. so to continue with that support, nick has often said, and i've often said i want whole world, not just the country, to know about this injustice. i need every single person in this country to stand behind our men and help bring them home, help put the pressure on the government and get these innocent men home. what do you say? exactly the same. hejust wantsjustice, he just wants home, he just wants his life back. forfour years, he‘s had everything he‘s ever had and ever loved taken from him and hejust wantsjustice and just wants to be home with his family, and doing what he loves most. of powerful word there. little william was getting bored by the end, as you could see! theyjust wa nt the end, as you could see! theyjust want justice. still to come the end, as you could see! theyjust wantjustice. still to come before 11, new research shows record number is of children are in care, 90 every day are taken into the system. we will talk about that in the next half—hour. the latest news now with annita mcveigh. whitehall officials have confirmed the is supporter dubbed "the white widow" by the media has been killed in a drone strike. sallyjones, originally from chatham in kent, had become a high—profile supporter and recruiter for the so—called islamic state group. the government is setting out details of its plans to cap the gas and electricity bills of 12 million households. it has published a draft legislation to publish an upper limit on to standard variable tariffs which cost more than the cheapest deals. yesterday the regulator, ofgem, said it could not impose a cap without the new legal framework. theresa may said the energy market was broken. a spokesman for the palestinian militant group hamas says it has reached an agreement with rival faction fatah. the two sides have been holding talks in cairo, and it is thought an announcement will be made later this morning. hamas took full control of gaza after forcing out fatah in 2007. newly qualified gps are to be offered a one—off payment of £20,000 if they start their careers in areas that struggle to attract family doctors. the £4 million scheme aims to boost the numbers of doctors in rural and coastal parts of england. a new report by the kings fund suggests there has been a worrying fall in the number of nhs nurses. luxury fashion brand gucci will go fur—free next year, the chief executive has announced. he told a london college of fashion event that the move was part of a commitment to sustainability. the italian fashion house will make a change in its spring—summer 2018 collection and auction off its remaining animalfur items. campaigners hailed the move as a game changer. but a fur trade body said the decision made no sense. that‘s a summary of the latest bbc news. rachel has e—mailed about that draft energy price cap. the market needs to change, but how does this work for people with no choice like me living in intermediate rental housing? i live in a block of flats in central london on a private development in an intermediate rental property. we were not told we could change energy supplier for heating. i‘ve fixed fee is £25 a monthjust to heating. i‘ve fixed fee is £25 a month just to have access to it, but be used £10 a month. we are not able to switch and similarly for broadband and with difficulty electricity. it is outrageous we have no choice and pay way over the odds. this proposed cap should be far reaching and include private developments as well. edwards says, why can‘t we make the energy companies automatically put customers on the cheapest tariff for the usage?
