And thats all the sport for now. A seven year uk Public Inquiry into the Infected Blood Scandal, widely considered to be the biggest Treatment Disaster in nhs history, has identified a catalogue of failures by the nhs and successive governments. More than 30,000 people were infected with hiv or hepatitis c after being given contaminated blood between the early 19705 and early 1990s. 3,000 people have already died, while others are still living with the ongoing effects of infection. Many of those infected had Haemophilia A a condiction in which the body does not produce enough of the Factor Viii Protein which is essential to the blood clotting process. Previously, the only treatment was to receive a Plasma Transfusion from a single donor in a hospital. But that changed in 1966 with the invention of freeze dried Factor Viii Medicines Which combined the plasma from up to 10,000 donors in any one batch. Sadly, it only took one donor with a disease such as hiv or hepatitis to infect the entire batch of factor viii concentrate. Routine screening of Blood Donations for these diseases did not take place for several decades, and many paid blood donors in the us had Substance Abuse problems or were prison inmates, meaning they had a much higher likelihood of carrying infectious diseases. Victims and their families have spent decades looking for answers to these questions and fighting for compensation. Our Health Editor hugh pym has more. On day one of the inquiry, perry supported by family, gave evidence. There is a huge impact on family, because they carry you and. He didnt survive long enough to see todays report. He was infected with hiv and hepatitis c through his haemophilia treatment. His Memorial Service was this month. Today, his wife heather and son isaac were here in his memory. It is still very raw. Him not being here. It was five weeks ago to the day to day, so he so almost made it the result and have closure from what happened to him. The minute i made the first recommendation, which was compensation, and a second recommendation was apologise, i thought, oh thank goodness, we have been heard. They had called for Truth And Justice for decades and today campaigners hoped to find it as a final inquiry report was published at westminster. The findings are devastating indictment of Health Leaders and successive governments. The report says the scandal could largely, though not entirely, have been avoided, and that hiding the truth included not only deliberate concealment but also a lack of candour, the retelling of half truths. And of patients, harms already done to them compounded by a refusal to accept responsibility and accountability. How shocked were you buy what you found . How could anyone not be moved by the story, a story which begins with 30,000 people . One person is a tragedy. 30,000 is 30,000 tragedies. Size shouldnt exclude the horror, it should multiply it. Diana and mikes son stuart died at the age of 27 after being infected with hiv via Blood Products that treated his haemophilia. Today, they were at the inquiry with their daughter laura. As far as im concerned, this is just the beginning, not the end. If we dont get some form ofjustice, somebody being taken to task from this, then this could happen again. They played with peoples lives. They are human beings, they were real people that have died. There were emotional hugs, seeing a Childhood Friend of stuarts, clive, who was now ahead of the haemophilia society. Government, Civil Servants and Health Care Professionals for many years have thought they know best. Today, the Community Knows best and i think one of the overwhelming emotions today will be one of vindication. Cathy married neal in 1999, just two years later he died. He had contracted hepatitis c after a single Blood Transfusion a decade earlier. At the inquiry today cathy said, you carry grief forever. My husband died potentially unnecessarily, and my future could have been very different, and life could have been very different. From the Prime Minister, there was an apology in the commons. It did not have to be this way. It should never have been this way. And on behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, i am truly sorry. The apology was noted, but today was all about the victims and those present remembering lives lost. Tomorrow, they will want to hear plans for compensation. Hugh pym, bbc news as the Prime Minister said it did not have to be this way. The uk was not the only country affected by the factor viii scandal. The us was sending batches around the globe, infecting people who used it indiscriminately with hiv and hepatitis, among other blood borne viruses. No two countries responded to the crisis in the same way. Some governments were upfront about the disaster, launching investigations and compensating victims immediately. In germany, almost 3,000 people contracted hiv from 1979 to 1985. By 1988 German Companies had already paid, an initial £30 million to german victims. And six years later another 100m was paid out, Six Companies that had failed to safeguard the blood supply paid around a0 of the money. Canada also held a sweeping inquiry in the 1990s, which led to compensation for all victims Without Delay and an overhaul of the countrys blood system. In france, two doctors were imprisoned for their role and two Health Officials were found guilty and given suspended sentences. And injapan, three executives were found guilty of negligence. Victims were paid compensation in 1996. 56 of which was paid by the pharma companies. What frustrates the families here, is how long this took. And many have been speaking to us throughout the day here on bbc news. One of those family membersjoins me now. Chris smith was eight when his father contracted a fatal illness from contaminated blood. Chris, welcome to the programme. Tell me about your father.

He was a severe haemophiliac but he did not let his disability stop him from doing anything, he had a haulage company, worked with electronics as well, he was mechanical and electrical, a clever guy, but then factor it came along, the promise of a life changing drug that would enable him to do stuff that he had not been able to do beforehand, then 1985, on the back and becomes incredibly ill, and then injanuary on the seventh in 1986, he passed away.

I think before this office started, before the Public Inquiry started, we just got into court on a Group Litigation case against the government, but then the government gave us a Public Inquiry, which stalled that for five or six years, so it is a case of seeing what the government comes back and puts on the table, and then if not we will look at other avenues.

The biggest Water Companies in the uk have faced a barrage of criticism in recent months, as new data revealed that last year raw sewage was discharged into our rivers and seas for more than 3. 5 million hours, a 105 increase on the previous 12 months. Your anger about that might be compounded by research out today, which suggests shareholders in some of the uks largest Water Companies have withdrawn £85 billion since privatisation while failing to invest sufficiently in the infrastructure. The report from the University Of Greenwich claims that, adjusted for inflation, Shareholder Investment in the top ten water and sewage firms has decreased by £5. 5 billion since 1989 their retained earnings have dropped by £6. 7 billion, while Dividend Payments have increased to £72. 8 billion. The industry regulator ofwat, however, said they strongly refuted the figures presented in the study. Joining me now is founder of windrush against sewage pollution, ash smith. Thank you for coming on the programme, these are highly significant figures, the allegations are serious at a time when Water CompaniesWater Companies are pushing for higher bills, where does your information come from and why would off white refuted . Its a would offwhite refuted . Its a stud not would offwhite refuted . Its a study not done would offwhite refuted . Its a study not done by would offwhite refuted . Its a study not done by me would offwhite refuted . Its a study not done by me by would off white refuted . It� s. Study not done by me by professor david hall of Greenwich University very experienced in analysing data in Water Companies over many years. He has used the accounts that are available and it would be interesting to see how ofwat manages to push back on that, because i am 100 confident in david halls approach and it was mirrored work done by a retired accountant in one of the big four auditing teams that on exactly the same thing, specifically for thames water. It follows multiple stories that covers what we really related to under funding and investment, what should be done to improve this sector . The whole be done to improve this sector . Tie whole objective of privatisation was to bring money into the water industry. The ten years prior to privatisation, the industry was starved of money to make it necessary for privatisation, to make it more palatable for the public, who still wanted to resist it then. The idea is money will be brought in ljy the idea is money will be brought in by investors, then we get a reasonable return on their money. That did not happen. What followed was one of the most serious and massive scams and neglect of duty by the regulators that i think we can imagine in the water sector. The only money that is ever been spent as being Bill Payer Money. When you hear the regulators in Water Companies talk about 160 billion or 190 million, now £200 billion being invested, that isjust 190 million, now £200 billion being invested, that is just money that is left over from Bill Payer Money after the Operating Costs of the company, and for every pound that was so called invested in that we, approximately 45p was taken by the shareholders, simply for the privilege of owning these companies. It has been the most ridiculous thing that is ever been foisted on the captive bill payer. The government the captive bill payer. The government or the captive bill payer. The government or the the captive bill payer. The government or the next government has a don lemon l. There is no question there needs to be investment and massive investment, investment and massive investment, in fact, i think the Royal Academy for engineering said today that they want a new upgrade in Sewage Infrastructure in the country. The question is how to pay for that. Do you leave the companies in private hands and charge consumers even more for a Field Product or do you really nationalise . For a Field Product or do you really nationalise . ,. ,. , nationalise . There should be no care about having nationalise . There should be no care about having to nationalise .

There should be no care about having to pay for the debt about having to pay for the debt that has documented, which is quite ridiculous, wherejust that has documented, which is quite ridiculous, where just know up that has documented, which is quite ridiculous, wherejust know up in the thames region to pay for that water. The only money that is coming to the Business To Invest has been Bill Payer Money so we have no share of that, and i dont mind if i am with the pay extra money and people that can afford to pay have measures taken to that can afford to pay have measures ta ken to cover that can afford to pay have measures taken to cover them. I dont mind paying that as long as i know it will go into fixing the assets. What i am not happy with and wont do is to pay money to go to shareholders who contribute nothing and only take money out. Since privatisation, in thames water is case, the shareholders never put in more money at any year than the puts out, and in most years they put nothing at all in. That is the nature of it. We will be much better with it back under public control, the fear of being spread by Water Companies to governments to make them leave them alone is simply because they know what a great thing they are onto and they do not want to give up this golden goose of a guaranteed public bill. Because who Cannot Buy Water was a mark who cannot buy Sewage Treatment . It is a captive audience and it should be feeding and generating a great infrastructure in this country, not benefiting peoples Bank Balances who do nothing for us.

The prosecution in donald trump Hush Money Trial have spent the afternoon trying to rehabilitate their key witness Michael Cohen. They said they are resting their case. The redirect their opportunity to focus the jurys attention on the corroborated evicence he has already supplied. But it has been a bruising few days for trumps former lawyer and adviser, as the defence spent hours poking holes in his story, today getting him to admit on the stand that he had once stolen money from the trump administration. Certainly, he is a flawed witness but did he lie on trumps behalf. Did trump ask cohen to pay Stormy Daniels for her silence, and did he disguise that payment as a legal expense, to hide it from the new york voters . The former president says no he did not.

The other side of the break, the panel is coming up, and we will talk in and jordan assigned, the Blood Inquiry and a bit more on the developments there in manhattan. Stay with us for that. We will be right back after this. Hello. Thanks forjoining me. Its been a warm monday and a fine end to the day for many of us with scattered, fairweather, clouds, Hazy Sunshine. But also one or two heavy showers and thunderstorms have been breaking out across parts of wales, also Northern Ireland. And these downpours may last for a while. For many of us, though, the evening and night is looking dry and generally quite clear. But later on in the night, thick cloud may bring some rain to parts of east anglia, lincolnshire and maybe the midlands, but itll be quite localised here. Quite nippy for some of us in the north around four or five degrees. But for many major towns and cities its closer to ten. So heres the forecast then for tuesday and overall it wont be quite as sunny, at least a lot of Hazy Sunshine out there and at times really quite thick cloud. Also a greater chance of encountering the showers. And they will be breaking out across parts of South Western england, wales, where especially here in western, Northern Ireland and also the highlands. But there is a possibility of running into a bit of rain almost anywhere in the uk. Temperatures where the sun does come out for any lengthier period of time could get up to around 20 or 21. But for most of us, the highs will be in the upper teens and really quite gloomy along the north sea coast at times. And that rain may turn quite steady in east anglia and lincolnshire during tomorrow evening. Then wednesday its all change. A large area of low pressure will sweep out of the east southeast and this is really quite substantial rain. So rain early in the day reaching eastern counties. Then it will spread right across Northern England into scotland. Now to the west and to the south the rain will be more showery, meaning that there will be some sunshine. So belfast i think cardiff, plymouth, portsmouth, london should get at least a bit of bright weather. But remember showers from time to time. Further north, though, the rain will be heavy. Now talking about the rainfall being its being substantial. Look at the accumulation over the course of the week in some areas, 30 to a0 millimetres of rain, perhaps even as much as 100 around the murray firth, which could cause some problems. So a thoroughly wet wednesday into thursday. And as you can see, most of us in for at least some rain, least of which will fall in the south. Now, heres the outlook for the rest of the week and into the weekend. It does look as though things could dry out as we get towards friday and saturday so that heavy rain wont last for too long. Thats it for me. Bye bye. Hello, im christian fraser. Youre watching the context on bbc news. My office charges netanyahu and gallant as co perpetrators and as superiors in the commission of these alleged crimes. To seek Arrest Warrants against the democratically elected leaders of israel is a moral outrage of historic proportions. It will cast an everlasting mark of shame on the international court. There should be no equivalence between israel and hamas. I none. Joining me tonight are susan page, usa today Washington Bureau chief, and kim darroch, former uk ambassador to the us and eu. First, the latest headlines. Iran is holding five days of mourning for president ebrahim raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash. The wreckage was located overnight in mountainous terrain. The countrys Foreign Minister was also killed. Iranian media has reported that the head of the army has ordered an investigation into the crash. An inquiry into an Infected Blood Scandal in britain has concluded that victims were failed repeatedly by the Health Service and successive governments. More than 30,000 people were infected with hepatitis c and hiv after being given contaminated blood
