Do get in touch on all the stories were talking about this morning. Use the hashtag victoria live and if you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Our top story today. Police in germany say theyre investigating a possible islamist link to last nights attack on the Borussia Dortmund Football Teams bus. Three explosions hit the bus, which was taking the clubs players to their Champions League Quarter Final against monaco. Police say they believe the club was deliberately targeted. Jane Frances Kelly has this report. Forensic teams have spent the night examining the blast site. Three devices in what police described as a targeted attack exploded as the players bus left their hotel shortly after 7pm. Its believed the explosives were hidden in a hedge and were detonated as the bus passed. The vehicle had reinforced glass. But two panes at the back shattered, injuring Spanish International marc bartra, who has undergone surgery. Other team members were unharmed. At a press Conference Held soon afterwards, a spokesman for the team gave an update on his condition. Translation marc bartra is being operated on right now for a broken bone in his right hand and he has got various glass shards that have been blasted into his arm. The team, through captain marcel schmelzer, just rang me. Theyre still very shocked and thinking about marc. We hope he recovers quickly. The police are still trying to establish who was behind the attack and why. An official from the State Prosecutor revealed that a letter had been found close to the scene. Translation i can say a letter was found near the blast scene. At the moment, due to the ongoing investigation, i cant give more information about the content. The authenticity is being investigated. The devices exploded about ten kilometres from germanys largest stadium. The match has been postponed until later today. The world of football has come together in wishing bartra a full recovery and condemning the attack, which has unsettled players and fans alike. Our correspondent gavin lee is in dortmund for us now. So the police are looking at an islamist link, but presumably, far right hooliganism too . Islamist link, but presumably, farright hooliganism too . Well, it is interesting victoria. In the past 30 minutes most of the german media have suddenly come out with details of what is purportedly in this letter which was found near the scene. It is reported this was a letter that said In The Name Of Allah. It went into detail about how german sports stars, how german high profile people would continue to be targeted because of the tornadoes that were being flown and targeting so called Islamic State in syria and also there was a suggestion that there was a link to the berlin attack and that was a reprisal from the arrest that followed with the man who was shot dead, the Lorry Truck Attacker later on in milan. He spent sometime here in dortmund. The Investigation Stage has moved from Dortmund Police to the federal police which suggests it is terrorism is the main theme of the investigation, however, at the moment, the police are stopping short from saying that. What we know officially from the police is this was a letter that purports to claim responsibility, but they are checking authenticity. If the contents, which is widely reported here is true, it maybe a first attempt to deceive if it is another area of investigation that they are looking at. So we are expecting another Press Conference later today, but suggestions at this investigation is turning somewhat. Ok, thats interesting. In the meantime the game will be, has been rescheduled for this evening. Swift rescheduling. What are people saying about that . It is, a few minutes ago, there was some football fan from monaco walking past and i spoke to them. Interesting actually how many people stayed in peoples houses here in germany. There was a tweet that went out, a Hashtag Open Doorfor away fans. Tweet that went out, a hashtag open door for away fans. A lot of people took advantage of that. A lot of families put people up for the night. We saw the same thing after the brussels attacks and the nice attack, the brussels attack. I was in the hotel where the monaco team are staying. I spoke to the coach driver. He said he was worried about taking this journey tonight. The coach was surrounded by police. There is a sense of security ahead of the game. Annita mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day 5 news. Good morning. The us Secretary Of State, Rex Tillerson, is meeting his russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in moscow this morning, less than a week after the United States bombed an air base in syria. He wants to persuade the kremlin to drop its support for the current Syrian Regime and its president , bashar al assad. Sarah corker reports. As a former oil executive, mr tillerson is more used to arriving in moscow for business deals. This Political Mission may prove more difficult. Russia, he said on tuesday, bears a heavy responsibility after last weeks Chemical Attack. It is unclear whether russia has failed to take this obligation seriously or whether rush is incompetent, but this distinction doesnt matter much to the dead. The us fired missiles at a syrian air base, an act condemned by syrias ally, russia. Vladimir putin appeared to harden his stance accusing Opposition Forces of planning further attacks. Translation we have information from various sources that similar provocations, i cant call them any differently, are being prepared in other parts of syria too. Including the Southern Suburbs of damascus where theyre preparing to release some sort of substance again. Whilst g7 ministers couldnt agree on new sanctions yesterday, they did endorse a joint call for russia to abandon assad, but right now, it seems that message may fall on deaf ears. President trumps spokesman, sean spicer, has apologised for saying that adolf hitler didnt use chemical weapons. Mr spicer made the remark in a White House Press briefing, as he answered questions about the war in syria. The anne frank centre, which campaigns for human rights, described mr spicers comment as an evil slur and said he now lacked the integrity to serve. Britains biggest supermarket chain, tesco, has reported a 30 rise in its underlying annual profits. It made more than £1. 2 billion in the last financial year. Like for like sales, which strip out the impact of new store openings, grew 1 in the year to february. The compa nys Chief Executive dave lewis said he was pleased with the results. Its no surprise that the industry has been under pressure, but its been under pressure for the last three or four years as well. Actually, i think that where we sit as tesco now is stronger than we have been for quite some time. Our partnerships with our suppliers have never been stronger. Actually, whilst we see some of the challenges you are talking about, we feel more confident about our ability to deal with them and perhaps we did just a few years ago. The nurse Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted ebola in sierra leone in 2014, has told this programme shes going back to the country. The 41 year old says she has no fear about returning to sierra leone, three years after she became ill. Ms cafferkey told victoria she hopes the trip, which is to raise funds for orphaned children, will give her closure after what she describes as a pretty tough couple of years. And you can see Pauline Cafferkeys interview with victoria shortly. The head of United Airlines has apologised for what he called the Truly Horrific incident in which a passenger was forcibly dragged, screaming, from a flight. Footage of David Dao Being removed from the overbooked plane was posted on social media and sparked a backlash against the company. The Chief Executive, oscar munoz, said, i deeply apologise to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard. No one should ever be mistreated this way. Originally he had maintained staff had followed established procedures. A Fashion Advert for selfridges has been cleared by the advertising standards watchdog over a complaint that the model looked unhealthily thin. A promotional e mail showed the woman standing side on in a long blue dress. It prompted a reader to complain she was too thin and question whether the advert was socially irresponsible. However, the Advertising Standards Authority judged that the model did not appear to be significantly underweight. A Voter Registration site that crashed in the run up to last years Eu Referendum could have been targeted by a foreign cyber attack, according to a group of mps. The register to vote site crashed on 7thjune Last Yearjust before the deadline for people to sign up to vote. The government and electoral administrators blamed a surge in demand after a tv debate. But mps on the Parliamentary Public Administration Committee Say a foreign cyber attack could not be ruled out. In nigeria a Senior Commander at the countrys Road Safety Organisation has been disciplined after he was pictured cutting female workers hair for being too long. Photos showing the male commander taking a pair of scissors to the womens hair during an Inspection Parade have sparked an outcry on social media. One female aide to the president condemned the haircuts as a humiliation of women. A shrimp which makes some of the loudest sounds in the ocean has been named after the rock band, pink floyd. It might not sound like it but the pistol shrimp, Synalpheus Pinkfloydi can use its claw to create a sound louder than a gunshot and is powerful enough to stun small fish. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 9. 30am. If you are getting in touch with us, youre very welcome. Lets get some sport from jessica, weve been hearing about the Dortmund Team bus explosions, but the match will still go ahead. It will be a really strange atmosphere though . Despite the distressing scenes we saw yesterday, the match will still go ahead at 5. 45pm tonight and thousands of fans we re 5. 45pm tonight and thousands of fans were already in the stadium last night before the announcement was madejust 15 minutes night before the announcement was made just 15 minutes before night before the announcement was madejust 15 minutes before kick night before the announcement was made just 15 minutes before kick off of that rescheduled match. Many of the monaco fans, once the news started to come in, of the Prost Ponement and news of the team bus kind of being attacked, many of the monaco fans chanting support for the Dortmund Team and the players and that show of solidarity continued as monaco fans opened, dortmund fans opened up their homes and greeted the monaco fans who needed time to stay in the german capital for another night and despite the chaos, i think, it was good to see that the Football World really came together last night. And we know that incredibly only one player was slightly injured 7 and we know that incredibly only one player was slightly injured . Yes, that was defender, marc bartra, who went to hospitalfor that was defender, marc bartra, who went to hospital for Minor Surgery Ona went to hospital for minor surgery on a wrist injury. He is 26 year old old and one of the players that was sitting next to him on the coach, the goalkeeper, he toll the swiss paper after the bang, we all ducked in the bus and those who could, threw themselves to the ground. We we re threw themselves to the ground. We were all shocked. Nobody thought of a Football Match in this moment. It makes you wonder about the mentality of the players, victoria and whether they will be able to kind of shut out what happened and be able to get on with that Football Match this evening. Yes. And weve got another big night in leicesters history . Yes, their first ever Champions League quarterfinal. But theyre up against a team thats been in the final of this competition twice in the past three seasons, Atletico Madrid. Now, their captain has travelled with the squad. But is not thought to be fit enough to start the match. I think this will be an experience that the leicester players will truly relish as you can see, they are on the pitch there taking selfies and videos of the stadium. Extra police have been lining the streets of madrid after that attack on dortmund. And atleticos record, well, definitely makes leicester the under dogs, but you know of leicester and the Fairytale Football Stories they have come up in recent Fairytale Football Stories they have come up in recent seasons, Fairytale Football Stories they have come up in recent seasons, you Fairytale Football Stories they have come up in recent seasons, you never come up in recent seasons, you never know, they could be on for a win. They could be, yeah and they like being under dogs, thanks, jess. In an exclusive interview with this programme, scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey has revealed that she is going back to the country where she contracted ebola a Disease Which twice nearly killed her. She says she hopes the trip, which is to raise funds for orphaned children there, will give her closure after a pretty tough couple of years. It was in December 2014 that pauline became ill and suffered multiple Organ Failure having caught the disease whilst helping Ebola Victims in sierrra leone. In our wide ranging interview she says that being subjected to a Public Health england investigation after a relaps, was massively stressful and she also reveals that she was so paranoid about ebola coming back, she carried a thermometer with her at all times. She explained how her health is now. Im very well, yeah. Im doing great. Really happy with how my health is and things. What kind of lasting physical effects has ebola had on you . Just mostly neurological things. As a result of the meningitis, certain parts of my body are a bit numb or a bit painful as a result of the nerve damage. Im still improving. Even in the past couple of months ive noticed small improvements with things. My health is not what it was before, but its pretty much as good as its going to get, and im really happy with that. What is the difference between now and before you had ebola, in terms of you . In a physical sense i think i was used to being so fit and doing a lot of fitness activities. It was a big part of my life and then the first time round, the first time i had ebola, it was ok. I managed to get back to sort of normal health and then obviously had a relapse with meningitis, which badly affected me. In fact two relapses, really. There was a relapse and then meningitis. Yes. The relapse was a result of me having ebola. The ebola caused meningitis and i had chronic meningitis for quite a few months after that. What about the sort of psychological side of things . Surprisingly, theyve been pretty good, actually. Yeah, there have been ups and downs. Its been a pretty tough couple of years. Im not particularly a sentimental kind of person. I dont sit and analyse things greatly which has probably helped me actually. Again, im very happy with that. And at one point, i think, you felt so ill, you actually wanted to die. Is that right . Yeah. Can you tell me a little bit about that . I dont remember too much about it. It was the first time when i was really, i was just really struggling. I think there was a lot going on medical wise. I just remember people being around me and having a lot of intervention at the time and it was too much. I was in pain and probably suffering at the time and after that i dont remember anything after that. What did ebola actually do to your body . So, its really multiple Organ Failure. The vomiting and diarrhoea you have is so profuse that the organs cant keep up with it and the organs start failing. So it affects many parts of the body in the acute stage. There are long term repercussions as well. Did you think you would survive . I thought, well when i was first told that i had it, i thought that my chances would be pretty good and certainly more so than had i got it when i was in sierra leone and been treated when i was out there. So i knew that having access to the nhs and being treated by the nhs, my chances would be much higher, and they were, because without a doubt, if i wasnt treated here, i would be dead now. And what was worse . The First Episode or the relapse . They both were pretty bad. The after effects of the meningitis, so the relapse that i had were by far the worst. I was just destroyed, my body was destroyed. I could do very little for myself. I was in a wheelchair initially when i got out of hospital and then i was on crutches and sticks and its been a long, long, slow process and im still in a stage of healing really. You saw people dying in large numbers of this disease as part of your charitable work. 11,000 people died in total, and now youre going back. Yeah. Why . Im going back next month with a small uk charity, street child. Theyre doing some great things in sierra leone and every year they have a sierra leone marathon and im going back there with them. I plan to run 10k. I definitely wouldnt be up for the marathon, but i plan to do 10k while im there, help with some fundraising and street childs identified 1200 children who are particularly vulnerable and they were orphaned as a result of ebola. So itll be great to go out there and see sierra leone itself in a different state and also know that i might be able to help as well if im helping with fundraising. I think psychologically its important as well that i go back. Thats where things kind of started for me and ive had a terrible couple of years since then. So itll be good to go back, just for things to come full circle for me and a little bit of closure, and end up with something good, something positive as well. Can you recall some of the situations you were in when you were there in 2014, trying to help families, to treat patients . Theres only one occasion in particular where it was a boy that witnessed the death of his mother. So in that situation, how old was this boy . Maybe ten, 11. And his mother is dying from ebola and youre trying to presumably keep her comfortable in her last hours. Yeah, because she was end of life, yeah. He was just distraught, as you would be. And hed lost other members of his family as well, so. I dont know what happened to him after. Is he someone that you might be able to try and seek out when you go back . Hell be a little bit older now. No . Itd break my heart, i think. Its ebola free and has been for some time now, sierra leone. There might who some who say, what are you doing . Most people have been supportive if they know im going back. Ive had a few people, like family and friends, who have said just be careful when you get back there. I really want to go. Im not going there with any trepidation or anything like that. Im quite keen to go back. What do you think the publics reaction will be to you going back . I think after everything thats happened, The General Public have been pretty supportive of me. Very supportive, actually. So i think they would, well, think the same, that its a good thing. Im going there for a good cause as well. Physically, how will you find running 10k do you think . Im not a runner, actually. Im not a big fan of running at all, so its going to be hard. But like i said, this time last year i couldnt even run and now i can, so it will be tough, but im up for the challenge. Do you fear it returning . Not any more, no. You did though . I did, yeah, especially after having a relapse, and its not so long ago that i was carrying a thermometer with me everywhere, i guess, the paranoia, if i get a fever again, thats it. And i no longer have that. I guess from this year onwards, im not thinking that way at all. Im pretty positive its not going to happen. Not only did you come close to dying twice, but you were then accused of putting the public at risk by hiding your High Temperature at the Public Health england unit before being allowed to fly to glasgow from heathrow, and accused of taking paracetamol deliberately to reduce your temperature. You were cleared after a two day hearing when the nursing and Midwifery Council panel ruled that you were in a diminished medical state and merely swept along by events and found there was absolutely no attempt to mislead anybody. Certainly not the phe doctors. How do you reflect on the fact that you were investigated . I dont hold anything against the nursing and Midwifery Council. They were just purely doing theirjob. It kind of came at a really bad time. It was very difficult for me with my physical health, so it was a massive stress on me when i was already going through a difficult time. Are you angry about it . I have been, but i did leave the Screening Area, although i did return. You know, i was very annoyed with myself at the time that i did leave it, but that was rectified pretty fast. And i guess, if anything, i just feel disappointed with Public Health england and how they looked after me when i was in heathrow, and i cant really say a great deal about it because i think things are still ongoing. You say youre disappointed, why do you think they took that action against you . Why do you think they investigated you . Because i left the Screening Area when i had a fever and didnt report it for a time. You said you felt guilty about having left that Screening Area and you started to question yourself. Do you still feel like that . No, i dont, because i was really unwell at the time under rather mitigating circumstances. Id been travelling for 24 hours, and finished on night shift, various things. But no, i dont feel guilty about that now. As i said, you were cleared after that two day hearing. There has been no public apology from Public Health england. Is that the end of the matter for you or not . Yeah, i hope so. I think going to sierra leone will help with closure on that as well, for everything. Is this trip to sierra leone the start of you travelling again because you have done a lot of that, a lot of volunteering in the past . Do you think this is the start of a new phase . Yes, i hope so, yes. Travelling was a big part of my life before and ive not really done a great deal since ive been unwell just because ive not been able to. Im not sure if i would go and volunteer and do aid work again. Im not sure about that though. I think after having ebola the first time i would have because i made a pretty fast recovery, but after the relapse, no. Its just affected my health so bad. How would you describe the last couple of years in your life . Difficult, but a challenge and im still smiling and i plan onjust carrying on and just smiling. Morris has tweeted, i cant work out if Pauline Cafferkey is brave or callous. Another communication asks whether its brave or irresponsible to put herself in that situation again.

Im going to leave it there because it feels really windy and were struggling to hear you, but we got the gist of what you were saying. It will be difficult for the team in terms of replaying this game tonight particularly when one of their own is in hospital being treated. Helge you were close to the stadium when it happened . I was on my way to the stadium. What was the atmosphere like when the news started filtering through . I always take like a 20 minute walk to the stadium and i had two of my friends with me and we we re two of my friends with me and we were chatting along about the probable result of the game and what tactics and so on and when we just we re tactics and so on and when we just were close to the entrance gates like ten meters away we overheard somebody from the Dortmund Team, he was talking to someone and he said there had been a blast on the bus and then i grabbed my phone and i already had like 20 messages from friends and my Brother Warning me not to go to the stadium and then i said well, well just not to go to the stadium and then i said well, welljust leave the scene here and go to somewhere where its not crowded because yeah, in the wake of the of the paris attacks i thought maybe if there is another strike it will be here. Sojust leave the scene and when we left, we already saw a calm at moss ferks but like many people like one third of the fans was also leaving the scene and normally its just a one way direction. They all go towards the stadium and not coming from it and like half of the people were looking in their mobile Cellar Phones or they were talking on it. It was a ha rd they were talking on it. It was a hard situation and a strange feeling and we tried to yeah to avoid big crowds and move to the city centre. Will you go to the game this evening . Im not quite sure. I have a friend coming overfrom finland. He wants to see the game, but im not sure if they should play today. I think out of respect for marc ba rtra i think out of respect for marc bartra and for the wounded policeman, i think there should be no game at all. I think they should stop it and not play at all and its out of respect for the players. They have trauma. I dont know if, it will not be a game in normal circumstances and i think even if we drop out of the competition right now, i will still be proud of this tea m now, i will still be proud of this team and yeah, i dont know. Out of respect for the players and for the gamei respect for the players and for the game i think uefa should not start the game today. So you would be happy to for the game, this match between dortmund and monaco, not to go ahead and dortmund forfeit their place and Let Monaco Progress . M go ahead and dortmund forfeit their place and Let Monaco Progress . If it is the way to protect the players, yesterday they were witnesses, they we re yesterday they were witnesses, they were targets of massive blast. I dont know how it could have killed them all. I think one day later you expect them to play football like nothing happened, ithink expect them to play football like nothing happened, i think thats a really, really strange view of the game. The games have to go on and dont give in to those terror groups, but yeah, i would dont give in to those terror groups, but yeah, iwould be com pletely groups, but yeah, iwould be completely happy if they say we cannot play today. We just dont feel right and this would be Com Pletely Feel right and this would be completely ok with me as a fan. I would be proud if they did. Really interesting. Thank you very much, helge for their thoughts. Helge doering who was close to the stadium. Lets talk now to a security expert. Lee doddridge, director of covenant, a security and risk company. He was also involved in co ordinating security at London 2012 Olympics and was at the National Counter german media are reporting that the letter found close to the scene a p pa re ntly letter found close to the scene apparently said In The Name Of Allah, so the police are looking at an islamist link. Thats been confirmed. That wouldnt be a huge surprise, would it . From a security prospective and looking back on previous attacks it would be a surprise if isis were actually part of this attack purely there is a number of reasons. The method in which it was deployed, the remote, the remote ied being used and actually leaving a letter. It is very speculative on that claim and possibly could be a ploy by other groups to shift the blame on to isis and the migrant community. It might not be, you know, an isis organised explosion, but it could be an individual inspired by isis . M could well be. But also there is a significant change here is where we have had lone wolf attacks using vehicles or other devices to make a remote ied with a trigger whether It Isa Remote Ied with a trigger whether it is a phone or some other mechanism, there is a high level of training and sophistication which doesnt fit with the current threats that we have seen in europe. Ok. You were partly responsible for co ordinating security at london 2012. Security around any high profile Sporting Event is a hugejob, isnt it . Around any high profile Sporting Event is a huge job, isnt it . It is, but in the uk and throughout europe, we are well rehearsed and have held some fantastic tournaments. If we look at the Security Operation at the euros last year and the final moving into cardiff this june, cardiff year and the final moving into cardiff thisjune, cardiff is no stranger to large Sporting Events and the security. Obviously they will look at the current inquiry and make appropriate measures if they need to. In terms of the security surrounding the rescheduled game today, that will be upped . Without a dausmt it is still early in the investigation. So you would expect a higher Security Presence which the fans i think would also welcome. And you know the event will probably go ahead as planned for this evening, but with just ahead as planned for this evening, but withjust additional ahead as planned for this evening, but with just Additional Resources on the ground. Thank you very much. This morning, fresh figures were published on how many people are employed in the uk and how much they earn. Joining me now is our economics editor kamal ahmed who can talk us through it all. Good morning. Good morning, victoria. Quite a mixed picturement on employment strong figures. Unemployment is at a 12 year low. People are able to find jobs and thatis people are able to find jobs and that is good news for the economy. But whats interesting is the earnings figure. More interesting, we know we have been having increased inflation since the fall in the value of sterling after the referendum. Thats meant that Import Prices of food and fuel are getting more expensive. Yesterday the office for National Statistics announced that inflation was 2. 3 . Today, average incomes are rising by 2. 2 . So they have fallen below that monthly inflation figure. That means that the Income Squeeze is back. Whats incredible victoria, since the financial crisis incomes have hardly risen since 2008. If you take average Weekly Earnings from 2008 and look at them today, people are still £26 a week on average worse off than they were in 2008. This Income Squeeze has returned for a period we had low inflation, although wages werent going up fast, we had very low inflation. Now the inflation is coming back. The Income Squeeze is starting. People are realising that food prices are going up, and clothing prices are going up, and clothing prices are going up. This is one of the problems for the uk economy for this year. Our economy is very much based on Consumer Confidence and consumers spending and continuing to spend if they find their Spending Power is reduced, they stop spending and that could mean Economic Growth could slow. We will see what happens. Thank you very much. Thank you. President trumps Foreign Policy chief Rex Tillerson is in Moscow Holding crucial talks about the situation in syria with his russian opposite number, Sergei Lavrov. The us Secretary Of State is trying to persuade russia to stop supporting president assads regime following last weeks suspected Chemical Attack on a rebel held town in which 89 people died. But mr tillersons prospects of success do not look huge. Ahead of the meeting the kremlin repeated that the deaths were a consequence of Syrian Government forces bombing a Storage Facility where chemical weapons held by the rebels were being stored. The meeting has got underway with an uncompromising statement from the Russian Foreign minister. Lets hear what he said. Translation we have raised multiple times that we are prepared for a constructive equal footing. This is our consistent policy and it is completely in line with the International Law and it is not influenced by the current politically mat with the complicated choices and wrong choices either with us or against us. We believe in collective actions and we do not think its effective to have the hind closed doors alliances. To have the hind closed doors alliances. We have given our position, we have got our message across to washington and to you as well multiple times. It is important for us to understand your intentions and the intentions of the us and the real intentions of this administration. We hope we can clear those things up today. Welcome. And this was Rex Tillersons response. Our meetings today come at an important moment in the relationship so that we can further clarify areas of common objectives and common interests, even when our tactical approaches might be different. And to further clarify areas of sharp difference so we can better understand why these differences exist. And what the prospects for narrowing those differences might be. I look forward toa differences might be. I look forward to a very open, candid and Frank Exchange so we to a very open, candid and Frank Exchange so we can to a very open, candid and Frank Exchange so we can better to find the us russian relationship from this point. Better define. Live to moscow and our correspondent sarah rainsford. Can you draw out the significance of those comments . Its clear this will bea those comments . Its clear this will be a tough conversation that these two men are sitting down to. I think whats important from what Sergei Lavrov said is that russia doesnt ta ke lavrov said is that russia doesnt take kindly to being told to choose, are you with us or against us . His main point was to say that russia has made its position clearfor a long time and acts in its own national interest. When it comes to syria that has always been about supporting president assad so far. Russia is heavily politically and militarily supporting assad in syria. It seems from what Sergei Lavrov says, that it will not change under pressure from washington. But he says hes open to dialogue and what hes underlining is that this isa what hes underlining is that this is a meeting where russia wants to know really what the us Foreign Policy, and what its policy towards russia and towards syria is. There was a slight snort from Sergei Lavrov when he said, we want to know your real intentions. He said people are not even in post in the State Department and we dont know where you are coming from. That was the implication of what he was saying. Rex tillerson has come here with a strong position saying that Basher Al Assad is not part of the solution for syria and he will have to go. I think it will be a difficult dialogue today. When we look back a few months to when donald trump and his team took over the white house, there was a hopeful mood in moscow, but now i think we are back to a very difficult relationship. The Foreign Ministry here has described it as one of the most complex times for relations since the end of the cold war. But there hadnt been a Chemical Attack then on killing 89 Syrian People. Really tough conversations. I wonder what can be achieved. Clearly Rex Tillerson came here with very Strong Language accusing moscow of either being complicit or incompetent as regard the attack. He made the point russia had committed to making sure syria had committed to making sure syria had handed over its chemical weapons and it didnt use or maintain any for the future. Rex tillerson says russia either knew about what was happening or was complacent in allowing it to happen. Russia has said very strongly, and we heard again from President Putin in an interview he gave overnight, that the Syrian Government denies its responsibility for the attack. Sergei lavrov called it illegal. That the United States launched missiles into syria to the base where the attack was allegedly carried out from. Its hard to see where the two sides come together. Its early days relationship. Whether those sides can look for positive cooperation and move forward , positive cooperation and move forward, its difficult to see. Is President Putin only forced to care about what the us says because of those Missile Strikes . about what the us says because of those Missile Strikes . I think the President Putin domestically feels pretty stronger at the moment. I dont think that Missile Strike has changed much there. Its acted in a way, on the contrary, it has allowed President Putin once again to return to the position of showing russia has an external enemy, a country whose interests dont coincide with russias and to present russia as the victim in this. Russia will argue it has been unfairly accused of actions in syria. Russia will use this, to a domestic audience at least, to prop up its current position. I think putin is not too worried by whats happened. I think there is a sense of confusion about what us Foreign Policy is and where the us stands because there have been conflicting messages. This is the first chance to clarify positions face to face around the table at the Foreign Ministry and see where things go from here. Thank you, sarah raynsford. From moscow, alexander bovdunov, a journalist with the website geopolitika. Jan halper hayes is a member of President Trumps transition team. And Xenia Wickett is head of us and the Americas Programme at policy institute, chatham house. How bad would you say relations are between russia and the us . |j how bad would you say relations are between russia and the us . I can only say that our feelings about this visit can be described in one word, frustration. Today we have no hopes and no big expectations because those Missile Strikes, they really damaged the situation. Before then there had been certain hopes that Rex Tillerson might improve the us that Rex Tillerson might improve the Us Russia Relations and might restore Mutual Cooperation is in the sphere of fighting terrorism. Today we see that he cant do that. The Us Administration tries to negotiate from a position of strength. I think its not the best way to talk with russia. Bringing in a member of President Trumps transition team. Do you know what the us Foreign Policy is at the moment . Are we talking about the whole us Foreign Policy or the situation with syria . In general he cares about defeating isis. His other concern was to work with our eyes to focus on Cyber Security and working to share intelligence. I dont think his position has changed that much. Work with our allies. What happens with trump is that he says one thing and then you put him in a box and you dont allow the other aspects. Thats one of the reasons he was voted in. The Foreign Policy was always there. It was always non interventionist. Always there. It was always noninterventionist. I think we need to look at the parallel between trump and Ronald Reagan in 1981 with the gulf of citra. They both took over after their world very weak democratic president s who had a really reduced the military. What they needed to do was say that there isa they needed to do was say that there is a Strong Player in town and we are not going to take this. This was are not going to take this. This was a marked, strategic strike. One off . A marked, strategic strike. Oneoff . Very much so. As nikki haley said at the un, if you do it again, we will react. This is blowing it out of proportion and think it leads to boots on the ground and thats unrealistic. What should americas top diplomats what should americas top diplomats what should his approach be . should americas top diplomats what should his approach be . I think we should his approach be . I think we should be optimistic. And we should ta ke should be optimistic. And we should take the same approach as when President Trump met the chinese president last week. Its too early right now in the days of donald trump for the State Department to have figured out what their policy is. It doesnt have the personnel. It didnt spend months or years figuring out what their position would be if they took office, perhaps because they were not expecting it. And they were not expecting it. And they were not expecting a Chemical Attack on the Syrian People as well. Exactly. We need to rein in expectations. This is about getting to know one another. We shouldnt expect they will suddenly be steps forward in the us and russia relationship. I agree withjan, the us and russia relationship. I agree with jan, i the us and russia relationship. I agree withjan, i think this is a one off rather than a strategy. Perhaps where i disagree is that this was not a strategic attack against syrians, this was a responsive attack against syrians. But i think the Foreign Policy donald trump laid out during the campaign, which is one of america first, which is one of directly focusing on Us National Interests, is the one we will see over the longer term. With the occasional act like this. What is the Us National Interest when it comes to syria . Like this. What is the Us National Interest when it comes to syria . L great question. Donald trump and his team have laid it out, is to counterterrorism, its is, thats where it is. This was a reactive event. More outrage, perhaps. In many cases many would argue that it was actually a very positive act. To assume from this one act that americas Foreign Policy is suddenly changing from what donald trump laid out in his campaign is vastly misguided. You also have to take into consideration that the egyptian president and King Abdullah had been at the white house in the days preceding this. And the focus was on the syrian Chemical Attack. At the rose garden, with King Abdullah in the Press Conference, donald trump said that we were getting more money tojordan because said that we were getting more money to jordan because they were the only country really taking care of the refugees. Both leaders reiterated that those refugees wanted to return to their country. An Associated Press representative asked donald trump if he had taken responsible defour the red line obama had put down. He said, yes, its my responsibility. He was very moved and upset by this because it was a Chemical Attack. Not for anything other than that. That was the strategic strike. I think we have to bea strategic strike. I think we have to be a little careful. And President Trump needs to be careful. Because having an emotional response to something is not how you conduct Foreign Policy. I think we need to be careful. I agree with you in that we should not take this response, this attack on syria is a manifestation of where american Foreign Policy is going. If i am in the footsteps, and i wouldnt want to be, of President Trump, i would be careful of taking emotional responses, because that will tie you win and cause challenges, as he has seen win and cause challenges, as he has seen with the media response. Thank you both very much and 22 alexander in moscow. Coming up, well bring you the latest on those bombs targeting the Borussia Dortmund team bus and speak to a fan who was just metres away when the attack happened. German Media Reports this morning that police are investigating an islamist link. Lets get the latest Weather Update with philip avery. A very good morning to you. At no little expense, i will start off with three Weather Watcher pictures that give an indication of the varied conditions. In the far south, its as glorious as that, and moving further north you go into a cloudier zone. At its worst, the weather really is that bad. It all comes thanks to a Weather Front thats sat over the north of the British Isles yesterday that has now spread its cloud and rain further southwards to the extent we have seen a wet morning across parts of northern ireland, southern scotland, and rain across the pennines getting as far down as the wash. There is no great speed about the retreat of the Weather Front for south. The good news is, if you happen to get tangled up with it, as it comes further south it will show less and less rain. The odd spot of rain might get down to pembrokeshire and the south midlands, and maybe a spot in east anglia. The southern counties getting away with in essentially dry day. 11 16 covers the temperatures for most of us. Going into thursday, the big picture, we have quite a few isobars on the chart, especially in the North Eastern quarter of scotland. A chilly start and a bright one for the greater part of the east and two thirds of the British Isles. Cloud from the word go in the north west and filling in all the while. Increasing chances of showers if not longer spells of rain in the north west quarter of scotland. Im afraid you will lose sunshine perhaps on the eastern side of the British Isles. Not completely but it will cloud up. Into good friday, and there is a chance of quite a bit of cloud around. Temperatures not bad for the time of year. Nowhere near the weekend, but thats was always the weekend, but thats was always the plan. Some rain out west that will break forward to the east. That sets us up for the holiday weekend. The main message is, its not a write off anywhere across the British Isles. I will show you saturday, sunday and on into monday quickly. Weather fronts coming through, one in the northern half of the British Isles on sunday, High Pressure in the south, still settle. A great deal of uncertainty into monday at the moment. The whole system is quite mobile and if it rains on you for a wee while, dont despair, it will not do it right through the course of the holiday weekend. Hello. Its wednesday. Its10am. Im victoria derbyshire. Our Top Story Police are investigating a possible islamist link to the three explosions which hit the Borussia Dortmund team bus last night thats according to german Media Reports. Juanfran believes the rescheduled game shouldnt go ahead today. think they shouldnt play today, out of respect for marc bartra and the wounded policeman, i dont think there should be a game at all. One fan believes. We have the latest on the investigation. Well get the latest on the investigation and speak to one fan who was moments from the scene of the blast. Also, the scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey tells us, in an exclusive interview, she has no trepidation about returning to sierra leone the country where she contracted the virus ebola, which twice nearly killed her.

On several occasions he tied me to a radiator with a dog collar and told me not to move and made me sit there naked. Good morning. Heres annita in the bbc newsroom with a summary of todays news. Thank you, victoria. Police in germany say theyre investigating a possible islamist link to last nights attack on the Borussia Dortmund Football Teams bus. There are reports in the german media that an Antifascist Group claimed it carried out the attack. Three explosions hit the bus, which was taking the clubs players to their Champions League Quarter Final against monaco. Police say they believe the club was deliberately targeted. Jane Frances Kelly has this report. Forensic teams have spent the night examining the blast site. Three devices in what police described as a targeted attack exploded as the players bus left their hotel shortly after 7pm. Its believed the explosives were hidden in a hedge and were detonated as the bus passed. The vehicle had reinforced glass. But two panes at the back shattered, injuring Spanish International marc bartra, who has undergone surgery. Other team members were unharmed. At a press Conference Held soon afterwards, a spokesman for the team gave an update on his condition. Translation marc bartra is being operated on right now for a broken bone in his right hand and he has got various glass shards that have been blasted into his arm. The team, through captain marcel schmelzer, just rang me. Theyre still very shocked and thinking about marc. We hope he recovers quickly. The police are still trying to establish who was behind the attack and why. An official from the State Prosecutor revealed that a letter had been found close to the scene. Translation i can say a letter was found near the blast scene. At the moment, due to the ongoing investigation, i cant give more information about the content. The authenticity is being investigated. The devices exploded about ten kilometres from germanys largest stadium. The match has been postponed until later today. The world of football has come together in wishing bartra a full recovery and condemning the attack, which has unsettled players and fans alike. The us Secretary Of State, Rex Tillerson, is meeting his russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in moscow this morning. Hes expected to call for the kremlin to withdraw its support for the Syrian Regime after last weeks chemical weapons attack. Ahead of the talks mr tillerson said he was looking forward to a frank and open exchange. Mr lavrov said us airstrikes in syria were a violation of law. We have given our position. We have got our message across to washington and to you as well multiple times. And it is important for us to understand your intentions and the intentions of the us and the real intentions of the us and the real intentions of the us and the real intentions of this administration, but we hope that we can clear up today these things. President trumps spokesman, sean spicer, has apologised for saying that adolf hitler didnt use chemical weapons. Mr spicer made the remark in a White House Press briefing, as he answered questions about the war in syria. The anne frank centre, which campaigns for human rights, described mr spicers comment as an evil slur and said he now lacked the integrity to serve. Britains biggest supermarket chain, tesco, has reported a 30 rise in its underlying annual profits. It made more than £1. 2 billion in the last financial year.

But mps on the Parliamentary Public Administration Committee Say a foreign cyber attack could not be ruled out. The scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted ebola in sierra leone in 2014, has exclusively told this programme that shes going back to the country. The 41 year old says she has no fear about returning to sierra leone, three years after she became ill. Ms cafferkey told victoria she hopes the trip, which is to raise funds for orphaned children, will give her closure after what she describes as a pretty tough couple of years. I think psychologically it is important as well that i go back and thats where things kind of started for me and ive had a terrible couple of years since then so it would be good to go backjust for things to come full circle for me. A little bit of closure and end up with something good. Something positive as well. A shrimp which makes some of the loudest sounds in the ocean has been named after the rock band, pink floyd.

It might not sound like it, but the pistol shrimp, Synalpheus Pinkfloydi, can use its claw to create a sound louder than a gunshot and that is powerful enough to stun small fish thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 10. 30am. Thank you very much. Gillian has e mailed from wimbledon. Im furious listening to your cat with Pauline Cafferkey this morning. My with Pauline Cafferkey this morning. My daughter was on the same Flight Flying in December 2014 to heathrow. We had to monitor our temperature for 21 days following this flight. She had no punitive punishment over her behaviour and i resent your soft touch interview without getting to the core of the issue which is com plete the core of the issue which is complete lack of concern about the people who travelled at the same time as her. Helen says, this lady is nothing short offer responsible to go back to sierra leone. Audrey says, she is brave. Fantastic that she has recovered from ebola twice . Is this brave . It is a question quite a few of you are raising. Coming up, the russianjournalist who broke the story that gay men are being held in camps in the chechen republic, where they are subjected to torture and beatings, tells us that she has had to go into hiding because of her report. Heres some sport now withjess. The Borussia Dortmund players are backin the Borussia Dortmund players are back in training this morning. The Champions League Quarter Final between Borussia Dortmund and monaco will go ahead tonight. It was postponed yesterday evening after the Dortmund Team bus was attacked 90 minutes before kick off. Thousands of fans were already in the stadium when news began to filter in about the attack, and the opposing monaco fans chanted their support for the dortmund players. The Football World has joined together in wishing defender marc bartra a speedy recovery after he was admitted to hospital for surgery on his wrist after being caught up in the explosion. This morning, the dortmund president praised the fans. I was very lucky when i heard how the fans reacted and called, dortmund. Dortmund. It is solidarity that we have like this only in sport and thats the only positive thing we learned yesterday. In sport, it is possible to make solidarity and to make respect, to help each other. Im sure that the people are discussing the whole day what happened yesterday. But when they come to the stadium, we will have a fantastic atmosphere. Thats what i feel. In the other Quarter Final, juventus put barcelona through another embarrassing Champions League defeat. Thats three in their last four games on the road now. Paulo dibala scored twice in juves 3 nil win. Uefa has said Security Measures will be tight around all the european ties this week, including leicesters Quarter Final first leg against Atletico Madrid tonight. The leicester players will have to focus on matters on the pitch though as they embark on one of the biggest days in the clubs history. Last years premier League Winners are the only english club left in the competition. Captain wes morgan has travelled with the team but wont start, because of a bad back. Bbc radio leicesters ian stringer is in madrid this morning, and says the players will relish the occasion. I think its the biggest game in the clubs history. I have been watching leicester city, my dad took me when i was four or five years. Im privileged to work for Bbc Radio Leicester now. I think it is the biggest game in the clubs history. Soi biggest game in the clubs history. So i think this is an enormous game and if they can keep the game alive, keep it alive for next week, they wont want to come to the king power stadium. Liverpool has put its bidding Team Together to host either the 2022 or 2026 Commonwealth Games. Former fa Chief Executive, Brian Barwick, will chair the citys bid which was initially just for the 2026 games. But durbans withdrawal from hosting the 2022 event, has provided another opportunity. Birmingham and manchester have also expressed interest, with manchester potentially being part of a joint north west bid. Thats all the sport for now. Victoria. A series of explosions, three in total. Police are studying a letter found near the scene which apparently says in it In The Name Of Allah. They are looking at investigating a claim of responsibility from an Antifascist Groupment one player treated in hospital when the bus reinforced windows shattered and a Police Motorcyclist was hurt. The team were off to their Champions League game at the stadium against monaco. The game is rescheduled for this afternoon. Memmo doering is a dortmund fan. He was close to the scene of the blasts when the attack happened. Chris phillips is former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security office. Are you going to go to the game today . No, im not going there. I think its too dangerous and on the other side it is a mark of respect not to go there. I think you shouldnt go there, no. It is not safe. But your team will be there. Your team will be running out to play that rescheduled game . your team will be running out to play that rescheduled game . I think Borussia Dortmund will play tonight, but i think im going to stay at home. Right. Even though security is being increased . Yeah, even though security has been increased because i think It Isjust Security has been increased because i think it is just 24 hours ago or even less now so i dont go there, no. Right. Thats really interesting. Stay with us if you can. Chris phillips, so, you know, people are afraid. Quite rightly. Which is when others say well, that means the terrorists win . It is it is pointing because actually we as a public have a duty really to carry on Business As Usual or else we do let the terrorists win. Thats really interesting. You think we have a duty to carry on as normal . Absolutely. Because these are individualsment there is no doubt this is a pretty amateur style of terrorism. Anyone could do something similarto terrorism. Anyone could do something similar to this if they really ranted to. The same as we saw in sweden and the same as we saw in london. Pretty much anyone can do that if they had the desire to do it. What weve got to do is say ok this is happening. We in london and the uk have faced terrorism for 100 years and the best reaction is actually Business As Usual. Do you judge people who are aid frayed and who want to stay at home and stay safe . No, i dontjudge them at all. I think people have got to make their own decision, but we have to as a population say look, one person who has dropped these very small devices next to a team bus cannot be allowed to impact the Re St Of Bus Cannot be allowed to impact the rest of our lives. What do you say to our former Counter Terrorism expert . What do you say to our former counterterrorism expert . Im with you. I agree. Counterterrorism expert . Im with you. Iagree. Terrorism counterterrorism expert . Im with you. I agree. Terrorism does not have to have such an impact on the people, thats right. We should not be afraid, but i think, you know, its just 20 hours ago. Its a bit too fast to keep on like nothing happened, but youre right, we should not be afraid at all and i think in one week, everybody is not shocked at all so much. It is not so shocked at all so much. It is not so shocked anymore and then everything is ok. I dont think the period of just 20 hours, thats too less time. Tell me what the atmosphere is like there. We can see officers behind you. Its not Business As Usual, is it . No, of course. Many cars are usually drying along with this street. There is usually a lot of traffic. Driving along this street. The police have closed the whole street. Over there is the hotel where the team bus starts to go to the stadium, usually. Yesterday there were three bombs on the side of the road that made the bus explode. I think people in dortmund are relaxed because we know the police are doing a good job, and the police are doing a good job, and the fans are relaxed. Everybody knows what to do. Is it true that a similar kind of explosion took place in the area last week . Yes, thats right. Ijust in the area last week . Yes, thats right. I just live 800 in the area last week . Yes, thats right. Ijust live 800 metres away. Thats what i was thinking, because one week ago there was someone who made a Gas Explosion and destroyed his whole house with that, a crazy quy his whole house with that, a crazy guy. Or maybe its not a crazy guy, maybe hes making some gas experiments. But then i went to the road, saw all the police cars and the Borussia Dortmund bus sat there andi the Borussia Dortmund bus sat there and i thought it must be something different. As former head of National CounterTerrorism Security office, where would you be investigating now . They have to find the person responsible. The letter will give them lots of clues. Ironically, this game we are looking at and the area will probably be the safe st at and the area will probably be the safest that dortmund have ever held because of the Security Presence. I think the important thing is to catch the individual. There are different kinds of terrorism now. Individuals who are basically amateurs, and this appears to be one of those who are intent on causing damage. We also have to really worry about the more professional people who are coming back from syria and iraq. Why do you say the person behind this is amateur . Its not very good, the thing is easy to do. It wasnt a big explosion, very small and we do not know what explosives they used yet. If it was a bigger explosive we would have been talking about a lot of people dying. The thing we have to face, unfortunately, is that explosives, we havent really seen explosive is being used recently in terrorist attacks. Those things are really scary. What we have to double our efforts at is preventing terrorists from being able to get hold of explosive material, whether its explosives or the component parts. Businesses that deal with the component parts, and they know who they are, have to redouble their efforts to make sure they sell to the right people only. Could those devices have been operated from a distance, remotely, or would somebody have to be in sight of the bus to explode them at the moment . Almost certainly, unless there was a specific time, it would have been dealt with by somebody close by. But there are options. You can use Mobile Phones to detonate. We have seen Mobile Phones to detonate. We have seen it many times in the past. There are a lot of options for terrorists who are quite good. Unfortunately Nobody Terrorists who are quite good. Unfortunately nobody fortunately, nobody has been seriously injured. That was because of the reinforced glass on the coach. And nine out of ten People Killed in explosions are killed because of flying glass. All businesses have to make sure they have protective glazing. Thank you for coming on the programme. That dortmund fan, not going to the game later. Documents uncovered by this Programme Show Cambridgeshire County Council failed to protect a 15 Year Old Girl from being sexually abused by her teacher. Social services had previously written to warn the council about the teacher who cannot be named but he was allowed to continue teaching. Noel phillips has this exclusive report, and just to warn you there are graphic descriptions of the abuse suffered by the victim in his report. Its every parents Worst Nightmare a shocking betrayal of trust. He was in a position of responsibility, authority and trust over children in his care. Jeremy forrest was more than a maths teacher, he was a sexual predator who abused a 15 year old student in his classroom. Tell us how it was you managed to keep those children silent . So too did nigel leat. He filmed himself sexually abusing young girls on school premises. Serious case reviews found that Teaching Staff ignored concerns about both men. Currently there is no law to say a school must report sexual abuse. But the victims commissioner wants the government to make it a criminal offence for teachers and social workers not to report suspicions of abuse. We send children to schools, we send children to social workers and everybody and you think the essence of their Core Training is the safeguarding of that child. If we dont ensure we protect them when something goes horrendously wrong, then we need to encourage more strategy and more mandatory reporting. The abuse happened, say, four or five times a week. It would be in the classroom store cupboard. Abigail, which is not her real name, was just 15 when she says she was groomed and raped by her teacher. A man who she claims used his profession as a cover to sexually exploit her in the 905. Her words are spoken by an actress. On several occasions he tied me to a radiator with a dog collar and told me not to move. And made me sit there naked. You believe a few teachers at the time in your school suspected what was going on but did nothing. Yeah, but he was as careful as he could have been. I was getting extra tuition after school. He would tell me afterwards to go and wait in the store cupboard. There i would wait until he knew most of the teachers had gone home and the corridors were quiet. Then he would come in and rape me. And this would happen in the classroom . For the first three years, it would happen in the classroom. And after say, four, five months, he started getting me to go to his house. To do that, he would get me to jump into the back of the car, sit behind the seats and be covered up by a blanket, so that when we got to his house, nobody would see me go in the house. He would drive into the garage and then i would have to get out. For legal reasons, we cannot name the teacher, but documents we have seen shows he was arrested in the early 80s after being accused of sexually abusing two vulnerable girls at a Secondary School in cambridgeshire, but was found not guilty. Shortly afterwards, in the early 90s, a number of chances were missed by Cambridgeshire County Council to monitor him before he went on to abuse abigail at a school in whittlesey. Its all very well that he was found not guilty in a criminal court, but it was deemed that there was sufficient evidence for him to be criminally charged with the most serious offences against children and hes ina position of responsibility as a teacher. He has then moved to the school where abigail is. If that had been in place, this would never have happened. Its a gross failing in this case. A social worker involved in the case was so concerned that she wrote a report to Cambridgeshire County Council. In it she says. Despite this, he was still given a full timejob. I mean, its either a conspiracy or a cock up. Colin shaw was a Labour County Council at the time. Councillor at the time. He says he believes there was a cover up by the council that allowed a teacher to carry out the abuse. I cannot see how somebody would have missed it. There certainly seems to have been a cover up, given the amount of evidence there was at the time. I think there seems to be, actually, appalling failures by the council, the police, the justice system. Now there are questions that remain unanswered. How much was known about exactly what was going on behind these gates at the Community College two decades ago . Cambridgeshire county council were made aware of the teachers history, but yet he was still offered a job here. When abigail reported the abuse to police in 1998, the teacher told detectives their relationship was sexual after she was 18 and that it ended because he was in love with another pupil at the school. I would like the government to consider mandatory reporting. We hear of so many things that happen to victims. If they dont feel they have proper redress. The victims commissioner, baroness newlove, says in order to prevent similar cases, the government should introduce mandatory reporting and make it a crime for anyone who suspects abuse, but does not report it. If you have some inclination that something is not quite right, you have been given some information that supports what you think, you have to report it. That is your duty. Its not right to say, i had suspicions, when actually those suspicions are happening to that individual. Would mandatory reporting prevent serious failings that we have seen in the last few years . I think by having mandatory reporting it gives confidence to victims that if they do go to people, go to organisations to say they have been abused, and the severity of the bees and the severity of the abuse is still not listen to, if we have mandatory reporting, they have some redress. At the moment there is no redress. They go to an individual who they hope believes them. And if they dont believe them, they walk away. Where else do they go . Baroness newlove says its time for britain to adopt a system to that of australia and the us, Where Reporting Sexual Crimes is mandatory. No one here from Cambridgeshire County Council would speak to me on camera, but in a statement they have apologised and agreed an out of Court Settlement of more than half a million pounds. They go on to say that the school itself and the whole vetting and checking process is very different from the systems in place 25 years ago. Abigail still bears the scars of her ordeal. The abuse she suffered has led to a life of self harming, depression and Mental Health problems. I will neverforgive him, no. He was an adult. He knew what he was doing was wrong. I wanted to have children, which i have not been able to do, because i dont have a sexual relationship with my husband. I find it too difficult. But im not able to have children and ifeel thats been robbed of me. A teacher has been banned from teaching for life. Campaigners say mandatory reporting would improve Child Protection and thats why the law needs to change. The home office has told us a consultation is now taking place on how to reform the Child Protection system when it comes to reporting and acting on child abuse. But for abigail, shejust hopes her story will encourage other victims to speak out. Schools are getting so desperate for cash they have money to help plug the gap in funding.

This news, President Trumps wife has accepted damages and an apology from the daily mail newspaper and mail online, publisher of Associated Newspapers at the high court in london. Melania trump accepted damages from the daily mail and mail online at the high court in london over allegations about her work as a professional model. Damages and an apology from the daily mail and mail online, Associated Newspapers because of allegations they made about her works a professional model. Last week we reported that more than 100 gay men had been rounded up by authorities in chechnya and subjected to torture. Now there are now allegations that they are being kept in secret prisons described by some as concentration camps. Russian newspaper, novaya gazeta, and Human Rights Campaigners claim gay people are being tortured and beaten sometimes to death. Earlier i spoke to the journalist who broke the story, who told me what evidence shed found. We know about four secret prisons. Two of them in the capital of chechnya, grozny, one of them in argun, this is the first secret prison we got to know, where lgbt people were detained, tortured and killed. We announced an Emergency Line for those people, we got this information about three orfour weeks ago, and began to prove it. Its pretty hard in chechnya, especially with lgbt people, which are a closed network. The region is very hard on those people. They have to hide. You would expect that the chechen and russian governments would deny that this is happening, and that is what they have done. The chechen government denied this. Although they do not deny the fact that if they found this kind of people in chechnya, they should be killed. They dont deny this. They deny the secret camps and that they have detained more than 100 people and killed some of them. You cannot tell us exactly where you are now because you have had to leave moscow and go into hiding. Why . They reacted in a very terrifying manner, because on 3rd april, in the biggest mosque in grozny, 15,000 religious people got together and announced a jihad on us, notjust me only, but on the people, and they said they should be prosecuted. Elena milashina there, the journalist who first reported these allegations. Kheda saratova is a prominent member of chechnyas Human Rights Council which advises the government. After the initial reports emerged, she told a russian Radio Station they could not be true because gay people did not exist in chechnya. She told me via her sister asa that she had personally investigated the site of one of the alleged camps, but found nothing. We went there, so we talked to the People Living around. We tried to find out more about that place, but actually, we could not get any information, it is not confirmed. You have previously said that gay people did not exist in chechnya. That is not right, is it . She translates. I was shocked, the first time when i heard that. There are 300 gays in the republic, and three people were killed. They are moving out of chechnya, so i was shocked to hear about this situation and to hear about those numbers. What are yo as a Human Rights Adviser going to do about the reports of gay people being tortured and killed . She translates. In this case, i need to receive an application from the person that complains about that. Do you think it is likely, considering you have said in the past that homosexuality was evil and does not exist in chechnya . Why would a gay person who has been badly treated come to you for help . She translates. These people appeared before i said anything. According to our traditions, our societys opinion, we dont talk about these people. Are you promising to help any gay people that need help in chechnya . She translates. Ijust promise that i will help any person, any human being, that will approach me, so i will not ask about his or her orientation. I will do the utmost, i will help this person. One of chechnyas most prominent members of the Human Rights Council promising to represent all those in need. As always well keep you updated with what happens on that story. In an exclusive interview, the scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey tells us shes going back to the country where she contracted ebola a Disease Which twice nearly killed her. She says she has no trepidation about returning to sierra leone, three years after she became ill and suffered multiple Organ Failure. 41 year old ms cafferkey hopes the trip, which is to raise funds for orphaned children there, will give her closure after a pretty tough couple of years. She explained how her health is now. I thought, well when i was first told that i had it, i thought that my chances would be pretty good and certainly more so than had i got it when i was in sierra leone and been treated when i was out there. So i knew that having access to the nhs and being treated by the nhs, my chances would be much higher, and they were, because without a doubt, if i wasnt treated here, i would be dead now. You saw people dying in large numbers of this disease as part of your charitable work. 11,000 people died in total, and now youre going back. Yeah. Why . Im going back next month with a small uk charity, street child. Theyre doing some great things out in sierra leone and every year they have a sierra leone marathon and im going back there with them. I plan to run 10k. So itll be good to go back, just for things to come full circle for me and a little bit of closure, and end up with something good, something positive as well. Do you fear it returning . Not any more, no. You did though . I did, yeah, especially after having a relapse, and its not so long ago that i was carrying a thermometer with me everywhere, i guess, the paranoia, if i get a fever again, thats it. And i no longer have that. How do you reflect on the fact that you were investigated . I dont hold anything against the nursing and Midwifery Council. They were just purely doing theirjob. It kind of came at a really bad time. It was very difficult for me with my physical health, so it was a massive stress on me when i was already going through a difficult time. And i guess, if anything, i just feel disappointed with Public Health england and how they looked after me when i was in heathrow, and i cant really say a great deal about it because i think things are still ongoing. Is this trip to sierra leone the start of you travelling again because you have done a lot of that, a lot of volunteering in the past . Do you think this is the start of a new phase . Im not sure if i would go and volunteer and do aid work again. Im not sure about that though. Difficult, but a challenge and im still smiling and i plan onjust carrying on and just smiling. And you can watch that interview again on our Programme Page it was a key policy of the last Government Special funding targeted to help poorer School Pupils by paying for things like extra tuition, breakfast and after school clubs, and one to one support. But head teachers say that money the pupil premium as its known is actually being used to plug gaps elsewhere in the budget and keep class sizes down. Thats according to a survey of more than 1000 heads and Classroom Teachers by the sutton trust, an education charity, which says this is yet more evidence that the squeeze on funding is having a detrimental effect on schools. Lets talk to david laws, the man who was responsible for delivering the pupil premium policy when he was schools minister in the last government, the conservative lib dem coalition. He now heads up the education policy institute. Next to him is the conservative mp and chairman of the education select committee, neil carmichael. And in our suffolk studio is geoff barton, head teacher of King Edward Vi school in bury st edmunds. Mr barton, let me begin with you. Tell us what kind of things the pupil premium helps your school do for less well off pupils. I think everybody working in education are welcome to the pupil premium because of the way it allowed us to do things for students whose parents might not be able to afford things. You mention some, like after school clubs. We increase the numbers of maths and english teachers, giving one to one tuition. Its teachers, giving one to one tuition. Its all try to close the gap. Its frustrating if some of those funds, which includes £200,000 at our school, are being lost from being targeted to those youngsters. According to the survey, two thirds of head teachers like yourself are using the money to plug gaps elsewhere. You havent yet but you might if things continue to be stretch next year . Its inevitable. I was speaking to a good friend of mine who is a headteacher in the north east and needs to make a saving of £170,000 this year. The only way to do that is not by not buying textbooks, is by reducing class sizes and teachers. Everybody will be disadvantaged. Its pragmatism over principles. Thats what we need to do to make sure every child benefits from having a teacher in the classroom. The 200,000 you get from the pupil premium money, how much do you reckon you will spend on other things apart from no next year . Reckon you will spend on other things apart from no next year7m the coming year we have plans to make some changes to the curriculum in the sixth form. We think the pupil premium money we will spend will pretty much stay the same. But the extra staffing we have put into english and maths will discontinue, meaning class sizes will go up, which can reduce costs. We desperate they want to keep hold of a number of staff who works with parents of those children. We have 200 youngsters on pupil premium, getting their parents to always come to pa rents their parents to always come to parents evening has been an issue. 10 came two years ago, this year it was 75 because of that liaison person at the school having the direct contact. We think these things are tangible that will help those youngsters achieve in a long term. We believe this year 50 of those youngsters will do well, whereas two years ago it was 21 . There is the direct impact. Neil carmichael, conservative mp and chairman of the education select committee. Is it acceptable for headteachers to use pupil premium money on other things . The get one thing straight, we are spending £42 billion on education, the highest its ever been and that demonstrates commitment from the government in terms of supporting schools. Commitment from the government in terms of supporting schoolsm commitment from the government in terms of supporting schools. Is it a cce pta ble terms of supporting schools. Is it acceptable to use the pupil premium money for things other than those pupils who need it . There are two questions here. Thats the one im asking, is it acceptable . Is not a cce pta ble asking, is it acceptable . Is not acceptable to use pupil premium in such a way that it will not advantage the children who are supposed to be helped. Thats what it is therefore. We have to think of it is therefore. We have to think of it in the context of National Funding and how it is being adjusted. I think the pupil premium should be included in the calculation of how much a school is getting through the new National Formula. But its not. You have heard the impact from mr barton and heard the impact from mr barton and he talked about his colleague in the north east of in red, who is having to make, despite what you say about the amount of money going in, well have to make £170,000 of cuts in his school this year. The reason why i talked about the National Formula for funding is because schools need to be treated fairly and in a more global sense. Thats why i think its important to discuss pupil premium in the context of wider funding within the schools. But the government isnt doing that. Funding within the schools. But the government isnt doing that. Thats the position at the moment. We have ended the consultation period. My select committee has made the point that pupil premium should be included in this discussion. We will see included in this discussion. We will see if the government will respond to that. We have made other suggestions, including bringing in a floor so schools dont fall beneath a certain level. I think that would bea a certain level. I think that would be a good way of giving some heads, perhaps the ones we have heard about, reassurance and their funding. The idea of pupil premium is to help young people who need that help. David laws kammy said in 2010 that it would be a mistake to think the purpose of pupil premium is to protect schools from cuts. The shard david laws, you said in 2010. David laws, you said in 2010. Most heads, as neal implied, are spending the pupil premium on disadvantaged youngsters. The aspiration of the last government was that it would be extra money that allowed schools to do extra things for those young people. I think the risk now is we are going into a period which is according to the education policy institutes figures that have been produced, is one of the toughest periods for School Funding in the last 20 or 30 years at most schools will have to make cuts to their real budgets. In that scenario there is a double risk. One is that schools might shift money from the disadvantage to other students. According to the sutton trust survey today, two thirds of head teachers are already doing that, plugging gaps elsewhere. The data from the sutton trust has also said other potentially contradictory things today. For example, it said only 5 of head teachers said this year the priority with the pupil premium money was to protect other budgets. I think what some of those heads are talking about is that they have used that money to protect existing disadvantaged frodon in. I think the evidence is most heads are using it for the purpose it was meant that dont use the money for the purposes it was meant, what should happen to them . They are already looked at very closely by the schools inspectorate, stead, to make sure the money is used to narrow the gap and ofsted hold those schools to account. Its right they do so. Its also write the government should look at the implications of its squeeze on School Funding over the next few years. And make sure that squeeze next few years. And make sure that squeeze taking place. Its not a squeeze squeeze taking place. Its not a squeeze according to them. Neil carmichael gave as those figures. The department for education say School Funding is at its highest level on record at almost £41 billion and that is set to rise as pupil numbers rise. I think both neiland pupil numbers rise. I think both neil and the government would not dispute that over the next few years and the years of the government forecast, there will be a cut in real funding per pupil in every school in england even with the new National Funding formula. Do you accept that . I think the question we need to ask is. You keep telling us what questions we are asking, do you accept what david laws said that there will be a real terms cut and funding cut per pupil. There will be a real terms cut and funding cut perpupil. We have 9 million in a clasie, and probably 10 million in a clasie, and probably 10 million by 20 20. We need to fund the arrival of that extra arrival. Of course we need to fund that. Do you accept what david laws says is that there is a real terms cut in funding per pupil. I dont accept that. We calculate that for about half the schools in england over the next three years there will be quite large real terms cuts between six and 11 per pupil. Large real terms cuts between six and 11 per pupil. Thats a lot of money and the risk i think. Per pupil . money and the risk i think. Perpupil . the risk then is some schools will re dive rt perpupil . the risk then is some schools will re divert this money from pupil premium. Jeff porter do is nodding his head in agreement with david laws. What could happen with david laws. What could happen with ofsted if the pupil premium money is used elsewhere . It was originally up to the school s management and headteacher to make the decision. We would publish decision and how have ofsted report on it. We are on a mission for their needs to be a new funding from, but that separate. There isnt enough funding in the system. We are 3 billion short in funding over the next three years and schools are having to do what they are having to go. Social justice ought having to do what they are having to go. Socialjustice ought to be a real pa rt go. Socialjustice ought to be a real part of it. I think thatll be brushed aside because of what we seemed in the classroom. What we have to do is make sure we provide that extra money. The government isnt doing that in terms of specific funds for new schools and so on. Specific funds for new schools and so on. That will not help geoff bartons school or his colleague in the north east, a school already up and running. I think we need to think very carefully about the impact of brexit and Everything Else will reconsider the education system. The impact of brexit, what do you mean . We will need more skills and not fewer skills as we deal with the difference in immigration. That will be something we have to respond to by making sure we have to respond to by making sure we provide those skills, particularly in the post 16 sector, which is the most urgent one. The challenge we are seeing is that when the pupil premium came in, the aspiration of all of us wasnt just that the money would be spent on disadvantaged pupils, but would ultimately allow schools to do something extra. More small Group Tuition and catch up classes. Even if the money over the next few years continues to be targeted at pupil premium pupils, disadvantaged youngsters, School Budgets as a whole are falling so it will be difficult for schools to do additional things other than just tried to make sure the money is going to disadvantaged pupils. If we are really to see greater social mobility in our country, greater opportunity for all citizens regardless of background, these cuts in funding have got to be looked at very carefully, otherwise they will undermine the original intention. Very carefully, otherwise they will undermine the original intention quick e mail, i work in schools as a careers adviser and see this money used to taxi in children who have a lazy parents. Its certainly not supposed to be used to support School Transport costs. The last government wanted School Leaders to be free to use this money in the way theyjudge best. But ultimately, thats about attainment, not simply things like transport. Thank you. Were coming to the end of the programme. Bbc Newsroom Live is coming up next. Thank you for your company today.
