And if you were watching at the bbc new channel, apologies for the gap at the beginning, no idea what happened news channel. Our top story today. One of britains biggest construction firms, and a main contractor on government building projects, carillion, has been put into liquidation. 20,000 workers are now facing an uncertain future. The company is involved in Major Projects such as h52 and crossrail, but has debts of £900 million. Questions are being asked about why the government continued to give business to carillion, even after it issued profit warnings. Our business editor, simon jack, is here. What has gone wrong with this company . Contracting is a risky business. You have a lot of contracts and sometimes the overrun. This company but its revenue as if these contracts would go swimmingly. So they said, that money is as good as in the bank. But with several contracts, things went wrong, big cost overruns and a lot of dead, owing banks more than £900 million. So the bank said, we dont want to lend you more money, it needed money. The bank said, unless we get a good and guarantee for that money, were not throwing good money after bad and they pulled the plug. The guidance says, we cant probably is company, it is a private company, we cannot use tax payers money. This is complicated because carillion is not just a building company, it supplies key Public Services. Prisons, schools, hospital contract. What the government has said today is, if you area government has said today is, if you are a carillion employee, go to work great you will be paid. The government will stand behind the wages of those Public Service workers. For how long . Untilan alternative contractor is found, it could be weeks or months. This is not new government money, this is what they would have given the carillion to give to them, but they will give it directly to them. Which ignites the debate, should you outsource this stuff at all . That is what the labour Party Position is. The transport secretary last summer awarded carillion part of contracts to build hs2. It week after the Company Issued a profits warning and the chief executive department for and the chief executive departed. A lot of eyebrows were raised at the time. What Chris Grayling, transport secretary at the time, will say is, we co nstru ct secretary at the time, will say is, we construct these deals on such a way there were three pogba so if one went bust, the other two could take over. went bust, the other two could take over. Three partners. And there was an amount of pigment trying to help the carillion because plenty tell me if carillion had not got those contracts, it would have been curtains for them. Thank you very much. Mick lynch is the lead negotiator with carillion for the rmt rail union. Hello. Your reaction first of all that the company has gone into liquidation. A terrible day for our members. We have to secure that our members. We have to secure that our members get paid this month. We have heard the fuel cards carillion issue for the fans have not been honoured some members are trying to get to work in carillion vehicles that cannot get fuel. The company is incomplete crisis. You need network rail to secure the work. And secure the future of our members and their pensions and their pay. It is a crisis of the making of carillion and some of the director should be accountable. Does it reassure you that the government has said they will step in and pay the wages are sure you . Nothing assures me that Chris Grayling has done because his judgment is faulty. We need Network Railand judgment is faulty. We need network rail and the others, Heathrow Express , rail and the others, Heathrow Express, to step in now and assure the staff they will be paid. They are the clouds, it is work on their property and their facilities. They can take these people in house this week and give them a secure future and ensure that work continues. You said the director should be accountable, they were paying dividends to shareholders last year, what you mean by accountable, what should happen . Massive dividends and bonuses year on year and they have not taken prudence in putting money into the pension schemes. £600 billion which could go up to 800, 900 billion. No legislation means these people have to put a priority pensioners and peoples features. It isa pensioners and peoples features. It is a scandal that these people could just walk away from the wreckage of this company while ordinary working people will be scrabbling around for work with no idea what the future brings for their pensions and their families. It is disgusting, frankly. The callousness of these directors and modern capitalism is an outrage. Thank you very much. Michael lynch, from the rmt rail union. This message says, the government and has a lot to answer for by giving contracts a lot to answer for by giving co ntra cts to a lot to answer for by giving contracts to a volatile company. Various Government Departments were aware carillion was struggling when they gave them the hs2 and hospital contracts. More on that wrote the programme. If you work for carillion, do get in touch. Annita is in the bbc newsroom, with a summary of the rest of the days news. Thank you, victoria. Good morning. Ukip leader henry bolton says he wont be resigning, despite the controversy over racist remarks made by his girlfriend jo marney, but has told the bbc he is no longer romantically involved with her. Ms marney had been criticised over a series of Text Messages she had made about about prince harrys fiancee, Meghan Markle. Ms marney has apologised for the comments, but has insisted they were taken out of context. Mr bolton has faced calls from within ukip to leave quickly and quietly. But he told the bbc this morning that his leadership was needed to hold the government to account on brexit. We have together made the decision that the romantic element of our relationship should end. She is utterly distraught. Close to breakdown over all of this. She never intended these comments to ever be made public. They were made some time ago. And indeed, although utterly indefensible, there is some context to them which, in time, will be revealed. But the fact is that i am going to be supporting herfamily and supporting her in rebuilding her life, going forward. Henry bolton. The palestinian president , mahmoud abbas, has said he will not accept any middle east peace plane brokered by the us, following Donald Trumps move to recognise jerusalem as israels capital. In a speech, mr abbas described the move as the slap of the century for palestinians. President trump has threatened to cut aid if the palestinians reject peace talks. President trump has publicly denied being a racist, as a row continues over offensive language he allegedly used to describe african, Central American and caribbean countries. The comments were reported to have been made during a meeting with us senators on immigration at the white house. In his first direct response to accusations of racism, donald trump told reporters he had not made the comments. Police in east yorkshire believe theyve found the body of a man, suspected of using a crossbow to kill his neighbour. Officers in humberside began searching for 56 year old anthony lawrennce, following the death of shane gilmer on friday. His pregnant girlfriend, laura sugden, was also seriously wounded in the attack. The government is being urged to drop its target of reducing net migration to the tens of thousands, because mps warn it undermines trust in the states ability to control immigration. A report from the Home Affairs Committee also warns that anxiety over the number of People Living in the uk illegally has been allowed to grow unchecked because of a lack of official data on the scale of the problem. Dozens of people have been injured follwing the collapse of a mezzanine floor at the Jakarta Stock Exchange building. The area was evacuated and cordoned off by police and a number of people were seen on stretchers being carried from the building. The american comedian and actor aziz ansari has responded to an accusation of Sexual Assault by saying he had believed the encounter to be completely consensual. Babe magazine published a detailed account over the weekend from a 23 year old woman she said she felt victimised after a date with aziz ansari. She said it had taken her a long time to validate this as a Sexual Assault. Mps are calling for more evidence about womens experiences of Sexual Harassment in public places, to try to find out what can be done to tackle the issue. Research by yougov suggests 85 of women between 18 and 2a years old have experienced unwanted sexual attention in public. Parliaments women and Equalities Committee says it wants to understand why it happens and establish what can be done to combat the problem. Meanwhile, the french actress Catherine Deneuve has apologised to victims of Sexual Assault who were offended by a letter she signed, which criticised the Metoo Campaign against harassment. She was among 100 women who put their names to the letter, which defended the right of men to made advances towards women. Ms deneuve said she stood by the letter, but did not want to cause any distress to those who had suffered abuse. Caroline says that this harassment has gone beyond normality. 0ur sons will be afraid to approach a girl and our daughters will never receive and our daughters will never receive a compliment from a male. And on the ukip leader henry bolton separating from his girlfriend because of her views, this says, he dumped her to save his career, not because of her views. If she can express and friend, does she does he expect us friend, does she does he expect us to believe the topic of race never came up for as us to believe the topic of race never came up for as long as the happy ever after lasted . This never came up for as long as the happy ever after lasted . This says, im sure he knew her views, he dumped her because he was she was caught expressing them. But henry bolton said this morning that conversation had never come up.

Lets get some sport with hugh and some sad news to begin with, weve heard this morning that Cyrille Regis has passed away. He was a real pioneer, wasnt he . Devastating news, the death of Cyrille Regis at the age of 59, personally devastating news because asa personally devastating news because as a young black football ban, it was clear in my household that Cyrille Regis and the late Laurie Cunningham paved the way for the careers of so many black players in this country due to their successful period in the late 1970s. Their goal of the season in 1982, West Bromwich finishing third in the top flight. The trio. The trio enjoyed racist abuse from the terraces but 112 goals in his time at the hawthorns which helped regis to become a hero at the club and he earned a number of england caps before moving to coventry in 1984 where he won an fa cup cup, receiving an mbe from the queen in 2008 for services to the volu nta ry queen in 2008 for services to the voluntary sector and football. He will be sorely missed in football in this country and already a number of players coming out, like the former inland captain Rio Ferdinand is to pay tribute to him. And many people calling him a pioneer and just how he paved the way for so many black players in this country. Lets talk about ryan giggs it looks as though hes going to be the new manager of wales. He doesnt have much experience at that level, does he . No, victoria, and it is a talented wales team, they reached the semifinals in euro 2017. Gareth bale and Ashley Williams in the squad, hugely influential. Since Chris Coleman left the job and things did not go his way in the world cup qualifying, they missed out on the tournament this summer, this is seen asa tournament this summer, this is seen as a key appointment for wales. We expect rain gigs to be named as the new manager today to take charge of what has been dubbed their golden generation of players, but it will be seen as a risk by some. Giggs does not have that much experience. He has not managed at a club other than a handful of matches after david moyes was sacked at Manchester United in 2014. The fa of wales do see him as their preferred option. He is expected to sign a four year deal later and the emphasis will be on them qualifying for euro 2020 so a big job on the hands of ryan giggs. What a game between liverpool and Manchester City, Manchester City are probably going to win. It was an unbelievable run for Manchester City in the premier league. In all honesty, despite the 4 3 scoreline it was more than deserved victory for the merseysiders, scoring three time in eight second half minutes to really ta ke time in eight second half minutes to really take the game aafrom the premier league leaders. They managed to hold on for a nervy few final minutes after city managed a few late consolation goals. Pep guardiola called this a reminder to the rest of the league that the race for the title isnt over, however, with a 15 point lead at the top, well, thats a pretty comfortable buffer at this stage of the season. Arsenal disappointing for them, they we re arsenal disappointing for them, they were beaten by bournemouth for the first time yesterday. Its likely that theyll lose Alexis Sanchez in the coming days. We will have more on that in the next few days, but the main story, cyril reggis dying from a suspected heart attack. Teenage pregnancy rates in the uk have halved in the past eight years, but are still among the highest in europe. Now new government guidelines are being released to help councils reduce the numbers further. They include better education, training for health professionals, making sure teenagers have access to contraceptives and ways of supporting vulnerable teens who are more likely to have children at a young age. 0ur reporter, katie alston, has been to meet teenage mums. You cant be immature, you cant be silly, think i have a child, i will go out getting drunk. Being a teenager could be quite a lonely time i wanted my own family. You canjust hear people say she should not be a young mum if she cannot control her child. Being a parent is probably the loneliest place i have been, you dont want people to see you are struggling, get the impression youre a bad mum because youre struggling. Improved access to the right type of contraception, more Sex Education, and a freer approach to talking about sex. As well as teenagers socialising more online are some of the reasons cited for bringing down teenage pregnancy rates in the uk. But what is life like as a teenage parent, why do government want to bring numbers down further . Shannon was 14, and ethan 17, when she fell pregnant with their son harvey, who is now two. My mum found a pregnancy test in my drawer. She texted me. She was a bit angry. She asked me to come back. So i came back. She took a test with me and it was positive. She kind of said, what do you want to do . She spoke to me about everything. But it was kind of the thing, my mama was pregnant when she was 15, she had my mum. My mum has never had a job. I cried in sadness and happiness. I was worried and scared. We discussed it over a few days, i had time to myself working away. We had a chat over the phone. We decided we were going to go through with it. It was one of those things. I never really understood what happened to your body. It was pretty crazy going through growing pains, also going through pregnancy pains as well. As shannons due date grew closer, she started to feel pains in her stomach. She said hospital staff didnt listen to what she was telling them. We had a nurse. She was very rude to me. Dismissing me completely. I remember her saying to me, you would not know what labour feels like, you are too young. I had a midwifes appointment on the tuesday. I went to the hospital, but they sent me home. My stomach does not feel the same. She felt it, she ended up sending me back to hospital. I had a scan, it turned out i was right all along, my waters broke. I did not kn
