Iwill never, ever have the moment to be able to sit down with my parents and tell them and explained to them that i am living with hiv. Never have that conversation. Good evening. We begin this hour with an exclusive report into the threat of abuse, exploitation and despair facing some of our most vulnerable teenagers. Many of these children are either in care or have recently left care, but are still supposed to be supervised in what is known as semi independent living. The bbc has discovered a catalogue of alleged safeguarding failures which have left teenagers in essex and london open to trafficking and sexual abuse. This report from our special correspondent ed thomas and producer noel titheridge has content that some of you may find upsetting. Inside, the unregulated homes feeling to protect our most Vulnerable Children. It was, living here was a punishment. Hearing stories of abuse, exploitation and despair. How many times did you attempt to take your life . About five times. How do you sum up your experience and site enduring care . Appalling. A year ago, Vulnerable Children were being badly filled by authorities across england and wales. Increasingly, teenagers aged i6 and over and often in care are being placed in homes where checks are only made by councils and not a regulator. This is where she lived. We obtained this confidential briefing around councils with serious safeguard feeling. In homes run bya serious safeguard feeling. In homes run by a Company Called centurion care. We set out to find the young people affected. It was horrendous, drug taking, motor bikes being stolen. They are conducting surveillance around his home for young people caught with criminal gangs. I saw them dealing drugs on the back wall. While Vulnerable People lived inside. Spending years in foster homes before being sent to centurion care. It was a situation that got really bad and i lost a lot of blood and they said i need to be taken to the hospital. And we were like, noi taken to the hospital. And we were like, no i cant leave the boys and attended. It was like, no, just go to the shop. Just a house for people profit off of young Vulnerable Children. Centurion care told us that all of their homes had first aid kits. On one occasion, she was taken to hospital and they cooperated with police, installing cctv to prevent drug dealing. They then moved to another centurion care home where they looked after a boy with learning disabilities and we obtained this. A recording outside the home showing the child in the yellow shirt and distress lashing out. Police were called here on in order of the soul. They cannot be sure what led up to this. But watch how the worker responds. Also a resident at the time. That probably will scare the life out of me, these to swear, screaming his face, tell them that he was going to take his balloons away and they would take them, pop them, threaten him with police, he was absolutely petrified. Police are given cctv, no one was charged with an offence and they we re charged with an offence and they were not aware of any allegation of bullying this boy. We spent weeks trying to track down someone who knew the children involved. They we re knew the children involved. They were all very high risk. And he was a support worker for many of the homes. Sexually exploited kids, drugs and alcohol abuse, some had disabilities. He seems most shocked by what happened here. And he remembers a girl who regularly went missing. We saw a bunch of boys in the park and there, she just trumped in at this spot literally right here and that was it. That was the last timel and that was it. That was the last time i saw her. Trafficked. Gone. She was missing for more than a week before being found in the midlands. Police ended up finding her. There is no evidence that centurion care staff were involved in her trafficking. It took months to find out who she was and where she now lived. A lot of kids go through things where the care system just gives up. You are alone and stop bibles the impact on you being taken like that . It was the worst. No one, no one deserves that. Like many children in care, she was placed in a home outside of the local authority. Care, she was placed in a home outside of the local authoritylj didnt outside of the local authority. didnt have any friends or anything, just trying to run away from the home. Just trying to get away from the environment, the staff, them. She says she was also sexually abused by a young person in the home. Did they phone the police . No. Did the Staff Members remove the boys who have been hurting you . Know. They told me that thats what i wanted. Centurion care told us all staff had safeguarding training, missing person procedures are followed and they had no record of a Sexual Assault allegation. What were you hoping it would be . L Sexual Assault allegation. What were you hoping it would be . A fresh start. The homes are closed in 2017 and the company was closed. Facing children in the homes, we have learned there is just one of iii children in the homes, we have learned there is just one of 14 such investigations facing vulnerable teenagers in england and wales in unregulated homes. Those were involved in those who did what they did, someone needs to pay a price for this. Three teenagers have been charged with the murder of pc andrew harper. Pc harper was killed while investigating a burglary in berkshire last month. Jon donnison has more you may remember that a 20 year old man appeared at Reading Court charged with the murder of pc harper but at the time, tens Valley Police that their investigation was ongoing and today they have announced the three more people have been charged with murder, 18 year old henry long into 17 year old boys who cannot be named because of their age. They have all been charged with conspiracy and a fourth person charged just with conspiracy to steal this bike. They are all due to appear tomorrow. And a lot of people remember this because he just got married a few weeks before it happened. 20 28 years old, mother first to be killed since 2017, he is about to go on his honeymoon, there are pictures in the paper of him getting married the day of his wedding and the case got a lot of attention. Jeremy corbyn has refused to say which side he might back in a future brexit referendum under a Labour Government. He said if he was Prime Minister he would offer voters a choice between remain and a deal negotiated by labour, and deliver the outcome. His remarks come ahead of labours conference where he is expected to face increasing pressure to back remain. Speaking earlier, Jeremy Corbyn says he wants to make sure people have a credible choice between leave and remain. I want the people to have a choice between the offer of remaining in the eu, and the offer of an agreement with the eu, which will give us a trade relationship, which will give us a customs union, will give us rights, consumer rights, workers rights and environmental standards. That is a credible choice, and myjob as Prime Minister, would be to deliver that option that is chosen by the british people. And which option do you prefer . I think the important thing is to put the offer before the people, and they will make the choice and i will deliver it. I will credibly present the options and say this is the option, you can remain, possibly with some reforms to the European Union or you can leave, but youll be leaving on these terms. Well earlier i spoke to the labour mp stephen doughty. I started by asking him what he made ofJeremy Corbyns position and whether he was happy with it. Well, labour has been very clear about where we stand on this. You have to have a credible leave deal on any ballot paper and a second referendum in putting this issue back to the people, but also to have the option to remain. Jeremy corbyn has not said he would stay neutral and that it said today that he would never stay neutral when jobs are on the line and certainly the welsh labour leader is very much echoing that in the sense that in his view, oui that in the sense that in his view, our position would be to remain in such a vote. We had to have deal on the ballot paper for people being able to choose that if they want to. They have not said the labour is the party of remain, has he . Jeremy corbyn is trying to find a position that can bring the country together. I think whatever views are on brexit, and a fervent believer of staying in the European Union, need to a cce pt staying in the European Union, need to accept that there are many people who feel differently including some of my colleagues and there needs to bea of my colleagues and there needs to be a choice on this between a credible deal to leave, not the disaster of a no deal brexit, which is what borisjohnson wants to take us is what borisjohnson wants to take us into it of course keeping the deal that weve got. I believe that we should keep the deal that weve got and thats the best way to securejob got and thats the best way to secure job security and the opportunities for a future generation. But if people want to leave with a deal, knowing the consequences of that, they should be allowed to take the choice i think it is only right that people of the final say on the. Your position is very clear, would be clearer for labour to decide what he wants to do and argue for that rather than this complicated route through various options . I think it is all about finding compromise and the labour conference is going to be discussing this issue and will be agreeing for the policy as a whole and there are those who determine a policy 90 constituents from all parts of the uk have put a0 position on that which means we should campaign is labourfor remain which means we should campaign is labour for remain and reform. Which means we should campaign is labourfor remain and reform. Not just some uncritical sting of the European Union, there are a lot of things i need to change but the crucial thing that absolutely agreed on is that this issue must go back to the people and that is the stark contrast between the position of labour and the conservatives want to drag us into a new deal brexit from which there is no mandate, no majority and currently, no plan. Define struggling to understand the people having their final say on and what people are thinking. This is very clear, will be having a final say on a leave deal, not disastrous no deal, but a deal to leave in the present cons the rights and the wrongs that argument or keeping the deal that weve got. Ill be campaigning to keep the deal that weve got, it is far better than what we have, and keep the protections and security so we have at the moment and that is become very clear of us for the past two yea rs very clear of us for the past two years what is at risk. But if you wa nt to years what is at risk. But if you want to choose to leave on clearer terms with the deal, not the jumping offa terms with the deal, not the jumping off a cliff with no deal, then they should have the right to do that. Lets speak now to sienna rodgers, the editor of labour list an independent news website supportive of the labour party. A very good evening to you. Why do you thinkJeremy Corbyn has adopted this position . I think it is not an ideal position, it is totally clear to everybody that it is the only position he can take at the moment. He is caught between lots of competing interests, labour conference was just starting in brighton on saturday and hes got on one hand, the trade unions of the labour party and they have worked really ha rd to labour party and they have worked really hard to get this unity position where they have agreed that the Labour Government would put forward a public vote and have this credible leave option versus remain on the ballot and they also want this leadership to decide its position once its got that negotiation deal in place. So during an election come they can either vote for manor leave. On the other hand, the Party Membership that is the other half of the delicates that abe the other half of the delicates that a be voting at the conference and a stephen was saying, and they have 90 motions for brexit, 81 of them saying that they should campaign to remain at the next election so it should state its position now, so is ina should state its position now, so is in a really difficult place of the moment because he needs to respect the wishes of the membership, that is how, that is what he is elected for to do, to respect internal democracy in the labour party, by the same time you cannot ignore the trade unions. One way of putting it isa trade unions. One way of putting it is a bit ofa trade unions. One way of putting it is a bit of a dogs dinner because at the end of the day, are you going to get at least most of the front bench going out and campaigning for remain an edge of the leader who is not saying what he supports. It is important to note thatJeremy Corbyn has not said he was stay neutral so far, he isjust neglected has not said he was stay neutral so far, he is just neglected to say whether he will take the position, whether he will take the position, whether he will stay neutral, but his position would be. So he has kind of left that open so that he has some room to manoeuvre later if things change. But yes, of course the 1975 options of people referred to and in 1975, there was a referendum and they did express a preference that he let Everyone Campaign as they wished there are going to be some shadow cabinet members who represent heavily leave seats, people likejohn who might t seats, people likejohn who might opt to campaign for a credible leave option comments the Labour Government negotiates that option and it is not damaging tojobs, then it could actually see some very high profile labour figures campaigning for it, including some of the unions as well. Will people actually listen to this on the doorsteps in the sense of the conservatives present one clear view, the liberal democrats, another clear view and perhaps a risk that labour get trapped in the middle in no mans land . Labour get trapped in the middle in no mans land . There is a risk but theres also an opportunity here because the tories if they come in november or december, they might actually be caught between advocating a hard brexit and advocating a hard brexit and advocating a hard brexit and advocating a new deal brexit where is the lib dems as well, they confuse the message on brexit at their conference last week, they said they would back revoking article 50 but they been campaigning for a public vote for a second referendum, as that is quite confusing as well so theyre in quite a confusing situation on brexit in every single Political Party is divided so if labour can keep repeating the message that we will let you, the people decide on brexit and yet the opportunity to vote in this general election, on the basis of things that affect your day today life, the Council Decision making, social care, housing, young people who are paying enormous amounts of rent and that ultimately will fix anything their home, those kind of issues. Perhaps voters would like to focus on those issues. Really good to hear your thoughts and insight, thank you so much. The father of a patient has been filmed confonting borisjohnson during a visit to a hospital earlier today. The Prime Minister was visiting Whipps Cross University hospital in east london when he was challenged by omar salem a labour activist who claimed there were not enough doctors and nurses in place there. The nhs has been destroyed. It has been destroyed. It has been destroyed and now you come here for a press opportunity. Limit their there is no press here. Were these people . Elevenjudges deciding whether borisjohnson acted legally when he suspended parliament have concluded their second day the Supreme Court. They are hearing appeals on two contradictory rulings one from the english courts, which ruled that suspending parliament was not a matter for the courts, and one from scotland, which found the Prime Ministers actions to be illegal. Today the court heard from the counsel for the group of mps opposing borisjohnson, he said the mother of parliaments has been closed down by the father of lies, arguing that the suspension was an unlawful abuse of power. Join us at half past eight for a full summary of the days proceedings, where we will be talking to drjoelle grogan, a senior lecturer in law at Middlesex University london, and robert craig, who teaches constitutional law at the university of bristol, for their take on todays events. The European Commission president , jean claude juncker, has given a downbeat appraisal of the prospects of a brexit agreement. Updating the European Parliament in strasbourg on his talks with the Prime Minister earlier this week, mrjuncker said a no deal departure was now palpable and real; the uk government, he said, had come up with no firm proposals to replace the irish backstop, the contingency plan to avoid a return to physical border checks. The Prime Minister of luxembourg has denied trying to humiliate Boris Johnson after he held a press conference without him on monday. Gzay vi uher bettel delivered his part of the address to journalists next to an empty podium with a union flag behind it. But speaking to the bbc today, the luxembourg Prime Minister dismissed allegations that it was a deliberate snub and blamed logistical issues. Our europe editor katya adle
