And coming up on the bbc news channel, hamdan parks is the oldest fixture in international football, as scotland take on england in a friendly, 150 years on from their first meeting. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Female surgeons working in nhs hospitals are subjected to a culture of Sexual Harassment and assaults by male colleagues, according to a major new report shared exclusively with bbc news. The research, described by the Royal College of surgeons as truly shocking, identifies a pattern of female trainees being abused by senior male surgeons. 0ur Health CorrespondentJames Gallagher reports. One example that ive got when i was a junior surgeon, so the person with the least power in the Operating Theatre is, i was i was assisting a consultant on a case. I guess hed got a bit sweaty but turned around and just buried his head right into my breasts. And i realised he was wiping his brow on me. And you just freeze, right . Why is his face in my cleavage, you know . And then a little while later, he turns around, he does exactly the same thing all over again. So i said, excuse me, do you want me to get you a towel . And he said, no, this is much more fun. And it was the smirk and that, you know, just everything about it. I felt dirty. I felt humiliated. The Operating Theatre home of Life Saving Surgery performed by our brightest minds and now revealed to be the scene of Sexual Assault. There were four consultants in that room, two registrars, a whole surgical scrub nurse team, and not a Single Person thought that that was wrong. This person wasnt even the most senior person in the Operating Theatre, but he knew that that behaviour was okay, and thats just rotten. Judith� s experience was over a decade ago, but this report invited surgeons to share what happened in just the past five years. 11100 responded. The experience of Women Surgeons is rarely talked about openly. For the first time, this report reveals the problem. More than 60 were sexually harassed, such as receiving suggestive messages. Almost 30 were sexually assaulted by a colleague, including instances of groping. Nearly 11 experienced forced physical contact linked to the progression of their careers. The report states men and Women Surgeons are living a different reality. Female surgeons have had their breasts fondled underneath their scrubs, and in the most serious cases, have even been raped by their colleagues. I didnt know him well, but i trusted him. I looked up to him. He walked me back to the place i was staying. He just suddenly turned on me and he had sex with me. I froze. I couldnt. I couldnt stop him. It had never been what id wanted. It was totally unexpected. And you were a trainee . Yes. And he was a consultant . Yes. The next day, when i saw him, i was barely able to hold myself together. I didnt feel i could make a fuss. I felt like there was a very strong Culture Ofjust putting up with whatever was done to you. More women choosing surgery as a career and getting into senior positions is helping to drive culture change. But these figures show that Sexual Assault and harassment are not yesterdays problem. So what needs to change . One of the reports authors tells me theres little faith that incidents will be properly investigated. The commonest scenario is that a juniorfemale trainee is abused by a senior male perpetrator who is often their supervisor. People are in realfear of their future in their careers if they do speak up. We need there to be major change in investigation processes so that they become external and independent and are trusted in order for health care to become a safe place to work. The Royal College of surgeons of england said the findings were truly shocking, incredibly upsetting, and that such abhorrent behaviour will not be tolerated. Is surgery a safe place for women . Not always. And thats a dreadful thing to have to admit. James is here now. It is very difficult to hear a lot of what you were told there, james.

The British Medical Association today, the union that represents doctors, saying the scale and severity of Sexual Assault against female surgeons is atrocious, and describe experiences like the ones we have just heard as being truly horrifying. They were clear that doctors who abuse their positions of power to do these kinds of behaviours should not be practising medicine. Both the Department Of Health and nhs england today have had to say the words that this has no place in the nhs. They have had to say that this has no place in the nhs today, and that they were clear that they are already taking measures to make sure that this doesnt happen as much in the future. ,. , doesnt happen as much in the future. ,. ,. ,. , doesnt happen as much in the future. ,. ,. ,. , ~ doesnt happen as much in the future. ,. ,. ,. ,. , ~ if you have been affected by sexual abuse or violence, details of help and support are available at bbc.

Thousands of people are feared to have died after a powerful storm triggered heavy flooding in libya. The red cross says 10,000 people are missing. After it caused flooding in greece last week, storm daniel reached libya on sunday, prompting the authorities to declare a state of emergency. The eastern cities of benghazi, derna and al marj have all been affected, with reports that a number of bridges and dams have collapsed. Anna foster has the latest. A torrent of water washing away everything in its path. The devastation is clear to see. The death toll is harder to quantify.

Anna foster, bbc news. In morocco, rescue teams are continuing to search for anyone who may have survived the devasting earthquake at the weekend. At least 2,500 people are known to have died. The red cross has today appealed for the equivalent of more than £85 million in aid, to help provide shelter, water and sanitation for survivors. 0ur correspondent tom bateman is close to the Atlas Mountains to the south of marrakech close to the epicentre. He sent us this update. This team is moving quickly, heading off to one of the more remote villages. Its around an hourand of the more remote villages. Its around an hour and a half away from here. This is a team of around 20 people, and you can see the dog here. They also have some specialist equipment. These are fire and rescue crews, some from leicestershire, who were deployed out here at the weekend. You can see the scale of this deployment. They are heading to a village around an hour and a half away, one of the more remote locations, and what they have been told is a critical piece of information, that they believe there may still be survivors in the rubble there. Im told the firstjob is to make an assessment in the village, to work out exactly what is needed to work out exactly what is needed to be done, whether or not its possible to get into the damaged structures there. That might require extra equipment, might require specific skills, so first they try to work at the situation on the ground. Then they say if they can help they will go in. There is this possibility of still being able to save lives. That is why we are seeing this team being briefed here pretty quickly, and now they are about to head off. Tom bateman there in morocco. Wages are rising at the same rate as inflation for the first time in nearly two years. The office for National Statistics says pay increased by 7. 8 between may and july compared to a year ago. Heres our chief economics correspondent, dharshini david. From film sets to train carriages and defensive systems, this Led Manufacturer in cumbria is keeping the lights on. But for its boss, attracting and keeping the brightest sparks amidst a shortage of skilled workers means Offering Wage rises of up to 20 , and more flexible working. I would imagine its taking you back to really where the crisis wasnt really there, but it doesnt make us stress as much. Youre not constantly looking at the pennies all the time, which is really, really good, and just that little bit extra makes you a little bit more comfortable at home and in your home life, which makes your work life less stressful. That scramble for staff in some sectors meant average wages across britain rose by 7. 8 in the three months tojuly, matching inflation for the first time in nearly two years, but that wage growth may not last. 207,000 jobs were shed between may and july. The widerjobs market is at a turning point, with the Unemployment Rate rising to 4. 3 as higher Interest Rates and other costs impact employers. As it is, some workers are no closer to meeting the cost of living. This red line is inflation. Its down from last years peak of 11 , but those prices are still rising fast. However, pay rises in the private sector, this green line, are now beating that inflation on average. But take a look at Public Sector pay. If you take away one off payments for some staff, and as this purple line shows, pay rises are still below inflation, the source of disputes and pressure. This specialist heart nurse is sufficiently senior to prescribe medicines and train doctors, but with her hospital unable to afford to offer her more hours, she still needs two otherjobs to make ends meet. Energy bills are doubling, our Car Insurance has doubled, petrol has increased, my weekly food shop is increasing every time i go, and my wage is not allowing me to keep up with that. The way its going, i may have to have a decision to come away and find anotherjob. Im already working three jobs as it is. And wages for many like anna still arent going far enough, but economists warn that these figures may still be solid enough to prompt a rate rise next week, adding to the burden of many households. Todays pay data is used to calculate the rise in the State Pension and means it could go up by 8. 5 in april. Under the so called triple lock, the State Pension increases by average earnings, inflation or 2. 5 , whichever is the highest. The system was introduced by the Coalition Government in 2010 to combat pensioner poverty. But with a growing debate about inter generational fairness, labour has refused to commit to keeping the triple lock if they win the next General Election. 0ur political correspondent, iain watson, reports.
