As an Air Ambulance Pilot to focus on royal duties. In sportsday on bbc news it is only rain and Alastair Cook that find a way to stop south africa. England struggle on the third day of the test at the oval. Good evening. For two years now a war has been raging in the middle east country of yemen, with devastating consequences for its people. A Fierce Civil War has split the country in two. A Coalition Led by the government and backed by the saudis controls the east of yemen while houthi rebels, backed by iran, the south of yemen while houthi rebels, backed by iran, control the north of the country. Yemen is now on the brink of famine and has become a Breeding Ground for disease. Cholera has swept the country with nearly 2000 deaths since the outbreak began in april. The situation there is now described as the worlds greatest humanitarian crisis. Access for International Journalists is very rare but our middle east correspondent, 0rla guerin, with her producer, Nicola Careem and cameraman, nico hameon have got in. Theyve sent this report from aden, and a warning there are distressing images of suffering children throughout. We cross the red sea to reach yemen, past the sunken wreckage of a hidden war. This was the only way to the port city of aden. The saudi led coalition, bombing the country, flew us coalition, bombing the country, flew us in. This is the kind of suffering they dont want the world to see. Rassa m they dont want the world to see. Rassam is 11. He is one of many children wasting away across the country. Since the war, Malnutrition Rates have soared. Hunger is menacing this nation, from the very old. To the very young. Like hussain, who fights for every breath. The United Nations says an entire generation is being starved and crippled and famine is looming. Ina ward crippled and famine is looming. In a ward nearby, another threat, a desperate rush to save Abdullah Mohammed salem, who came in with no pulse. They tried to squeeze fluid and life back into his veins, one victim of an epidemic ravaging yemen, cholera, and its the worst outbreak in history. There is now a perfect Breeding Ground for the disease, as Sanitation Services have broken down. Abdullahs son, ahmed, has a message for those in power who, are busy waging war. Translation deal with who, are busy waging war. Translation dealwith the who, are busy waging war. Translation deal with the sewage. And clean the streets. Mosquitoes and flies are everywhere causing illness. We are demanding that eve ryo ne illness. We are demanding that everyone who claims to be our leader should just care about the people. Instead, they are dying of cholera at the rate of about one every hour. Another outcome of a brutal conflict. This hospital alone receives about 100 new cholera cases every day. Those who get help recover quickly, within hours. But many in yemen are dying needlessly, because they cant get the most basic treatment. After more than two yea rs of basic treatment. After more than two years of war, half of the Health Facilities in the country are not functioning. Like much else in the arab worlds poorest nation, an ancient civilisation with new battle scars. The president ial guard mans the checkpoints in aden. But the yemeni president is seldom seen. He was forced to flee by the houthi rebel, thats when his allies, the saudis stepped in. Their Bombing Campaign has not restored his authority. But it has destroyed hospitals, schools and homes, like that of this family. Their house was hit by two air strikes as the coalition targeted houthi fighters nearby. Senaad tells us, that two years on, the extended family are among the forgotten victims of this war. Some of the family still live right here in the ruins, with no help, they say, other than from god. But civilians here have been under fire from both sides. We met this woman and her children waiting for food aid. 10 year old imad used to love football, before he was hit by a houthi shell. Translation i brought the kids into the house. I asked them to stay inside. They were in the livingroom when they were hit. He lost both legs immediately. Since then, she says that imad and her other children have never been the same, they have deep psychological wounds as well as physical ones. Most of all it is yemens children, like ten month old ahmed who are paying the price here. The country has reached a stalemate. International diplomacy has failed and nowhere in the world are more lives as stake. 0rla guerin, bbc news, aden. 0rla guerin, bbc news, aden. 0rla guerin and her team with that Special Report from inside yemen a country blighted war and disease. The Home Secretary, amber rudd, sought to reassure Business Today that there would be no migration cliff edge when britain leaves the european union. Her remarks came as ministers today launched a study of how eu nationals contribute to the uk economy. But it wont report until autumn 2018, leading to strong criticism from labour. Heres our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. How do you tailor a new Immigration Policy for britain after brexit . Cuts to leave more jobs for home grown workers maybe less for eu migrants . Ask around at this Garment Factory in north london and the answer is be careful. We have ten different nationalities that are here in ourfactories and 80 of those are from the eu. Theyre not taking away the jobs from the British Public, because the British Public at the moment cant do those skills, so prove brexit or post brexit, it doesnt matter, we need our european workers here. Today, britains border force has been on show. Soon theyll enforce a new Immigration System and the Home Secretary has announced a major study to help decide where britain needs migrants and who should be stopped when the uk leaves the european union. A new policy, but part of what im announcing today is to show to its evidence based and were going to make sure that it works for the whole country. It will take years before home grown british workers can take on or want many of the jobs that are now filled by europeans. Free movement of eu citizens ends technically in two years when britain leaves. It may continue for a period after that, maybe two years, during a transition, ministers havent decided. They dont all agree and thats causing confusion. When they do, theyll take that plan to the brexit negotiations where theyre after the trade deal, ministers want so badly. But migration is a sensitive subject. On almost any street, almost anywhere, theres pressure to get on with cutting migrant numbers. Whats your view when it comes to europe and british jobs . Well, we need work for british people. I think the sooner we get out, the better, to be honest with you. Is it taking too long . I reckon theyre going to drag it out as long as possible, arent they . Hoping that theyll change our mind. I think we should train our own people up. People who are living here. We have 67 million or whatever that live here. Im sure we can train people up. Borisjohnson is talking up a future trade deal. Critics say ministers have been too slow working out a an Immigration Policy. Out an Immigration Policy. He says migration can be good for the uk. That doesnt mean that you cant control it. Thats that all i think people want to see. They want to see their politicians taking responsibility, explaining the policy, explaining what theyre trying to do, explaining who can come in on what basis and why its good for the economy. Well its completely ridiculous that it is taking them 13 months to commission this basic evidence. We on the select committee were asking some of these basic questions back in january. The government should have commissioned this a long, long time ago. So, works in progress on a new way to manage migration, one, ministers agree should keep firms like this one supplied with the workers it needs. But crafting that policy has only just started. Expect more political wrangling before the jobs done. John pienaar, bbc news. The terminally ill baby charlie gard will be moved to a hospice and have his life support withdrawn shortly afterwards, after his parents failed to get agreement to spend up to a week with him there. His parents had wanted a private medical team to care for their son. Great ormond street hospital, where charlie is being cared for, said it wasnt in his best interests. It follows a legal battle by charlies parents to take him out of the country for experimental treatment. Figures out today reveal how many prisoners have been accidentally released from jails in england and wales. The Ministry Ofjustice says 71 inmates or suspects were incorrectly freed in the year to march the highest number since records were first kept. With me is our home affairs correspondent, june kelly. Whats behind all of this . We have had a number of figures from the Ministry Ofjustice, a number are not good. At a record high are levels of self harm, assaults on inmates and staff, assaults on staff are running at about 20 a day. In terms of the causes there is a mixture of things, staff shortage, overcrowding, the prove lance of drugs like Spice Injails so inmates are out of control a lot of time. And the gang culture imported from the outside world. The Prison Office Association Says that all of these figures show that the system is out of control. The government of course, disagree and says there is a Recruitment Drive going on to get more staff in that is under way. The Justice Secretary said today that the figures show the importance of improving safety and security in our prisons. June, thank you. Fires are continuing to burn in Southern France for a third day. Several thousand firefighters and troops are battling the flames, which they now say are more under control. Around 10,000 holidaymakers and residents have been forced to leave their homes and campsites around the town of bormes les mimosas, with many spending the night on beaches, or in sports halls and other public buildings. Duncan kennedy is there for us this evening. Duncan. Well, rita, it has been an incredibly bus iy day for firefighters and a worrying one for many holiday makers, some of whom have not been able to get bach to campsites. For the first time, we have been allowed inside the fire zone. You get an idea of the devastation, and the dry ground, the high winds and strong temperatures are still in place so there could be more burning. Its been another 2a hours of fires. And firefighting. This was bormes les mimosas, west of st tropez, and the flames have been spreading again across the windswept bridges. That meant another night on the beach for dozens of holiday makers, forced out of their campsites. They included olivia hall from sevenoa ks, whos about to spend her third night in a sleeping bag along with her and grandparents. What do you think of sleeping on a beach like this . Well, i mean for me, im 18, its ok, but for old people, my grandparents for instance, its not the easiest if they have a wheelchair or things. It is difficult for people. Today we went out with this team of firefighters. This is the kind of terrain they have to haul up their hosepipes, all in 30 degrees temperatures. Theyre dowsing down dozens of small pockets of fire. Afterfour days, he said, hes tired but holding up. And its Notjust A Firefighting Effort from the ground. There goes another load from one of these aircraft, one of dozens we are witnessing this morning. Little patches of fire keep breaking out, they are the most dangerous ones, they are the ones that can lead to widespread bushfires and then they become out of control. And in wave after wave, the planes kept on coming, trying to control fires caused by Combustible Undergrowth and powerful winds. Translation when the fires combine with the winds, it create the worst of monsters. Its like a herd of bison storming down the hill, eating up all the vegetation, animals, and unfortunately people. When the fires have passed through, this is what they leave. Green turned to black, life turned to dust. It is part of the natural cycle here, but the effects can be devastating. Duncan kennedy, bbc news, on the cote dazur. The time is just after a quarter past six. Our top story this evening already brought to its knees by war now aid agencies warn yemen is on the brink of famine. And still to come. Englands Cricket Captainjoe root under pressure as the third test begins against south africa at the oval. Coming up in sportsday on bbc news, englands women can win their group at euro 2017 by beating portugal tonight but scotland will only survive if they can beat spain by two goals. Doctors have long told us to finish a course of antibiotics even if we feel better. But that is now being challenged by a group of scientists, who claim that taking antibiotics for longer than you need to can increase resistance to them in the future. Englands Chief Medical Officer says more research is needed before any change in official policy. Heres our Health Correspondent dominic hughes. The danger posed by drug resistant bacteria is growing. Curbing the use and misuse of antibiotics is central to the fight against superbugs. But now some scientists believe that long standing advice to always finish a course of the drugs made me wrong and could be making the situation worse, not better. We need to be careful about using antibiotics because the more we use them, the more the bacteria figure out how to become resistant to them, the more resistant bacteria we select for, and the more bacteria in our environment and living on us become resistant. And that means when we get infected with those bacteria, the antibiotics just wont work any more. The world famous Discovery Of Penicillin. Following Alexander Flemings Discovery Of Penicillin in the late 1920s, the belief was that not taking enough of the drug could lead to bacteria developing resistance. The modern day official advice is still to complete the course you have been prescribed, but todays report says there is no Actual Research to back up that advice, exposing a growing difference of opinion in the scientific community. This debate matters because the stakes are so very high. The number of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics is on the rise, and we are being told that antibiotics themselves are a precious but diminishing resource that needs to be used sparingly and carefully. As questions are asked about how best to use antibiotics, some are concerned patients will be left confused. People have always to follow the instruction written on the label about the course of antibiotics because if they stop the antibiotic before the end of the treatment, they could develop resistance and so that kind of antibiotic wont work any more in the future. Everyone agrees more research is needed before the finish the course advice is changed to Something Like stop when you feel better, but the serious concern about drug resistant bugs mean long established practice is now being questioned. Dominic hughes, bbc news. A former british Olympic Athlete has revealed that she self harmed while struggling to cope with the demands of elite competition.

The 26 year old telling me how life as an elite athlete took its toll. I had to hold it together and the only way i could do that was the time when i was self harming, i would try to find anything i could to hurt myself or isolate myself, to manage what was an intense pressure.

She has spoken out to raise awareness of the Mental Health issues Young Athletes can face. Its great when theres a big championships on television and we rally round and watch it, but that the cover, that the front of it and you dont necessarily see the backend.
