They didnt think it appropriate to go the police at that stage. Instead, the hospital asked the Royal College of paediatrics and child health to look at what had been going on in the unit. In november, the college called for the hospital to conduct a thorough external, independent review of each unexpected neonatal death. But the deaths werent investigated fully. Was this a cover up . I dont know how youd define a cover up but to us the. The evidence in front of us was quite clear it felt that they were trying to engineer some sort of narrative or way out of this that didnt involve going to the police. And if you want to call that a cover up then, thats a cover up. There were deaths and near deaths, which could not be explained, and were unexpected. And thatjust does not happen on a neonatal unit.

hello i m caitriona perry. we want to start the programme with three weather events thousands of miles apart, involving fire and water and disrupting the lives of local communities. in a moment we ll have the latest on the evacuations in canada, where the residents of yellowknife are scrambling to safety. then we ll focus on the aftermath of the hawaii wildfires and new questions over how the blazes started in the first place. but we start in california, where for the first time ever, a tropical storm could hit the southern part of the state. right now, hurricane hilary is a category four storm. it s expected to make landfall in mexico in the state of baja california, seen here, on saturday. it will likely then downgrade to a tropical storm before hitting southern california, with san diego and los angeles in the path. you can see, prepaparations are already underway there including working to shore up hillsides.
