french. and we'll discuss how police in durham are planning to give free heroin to addicts in a bid to cut drug—related crime. will it work? do get in touch. there are fears for thousands ofjobs at vauxhall plants in the uk this morning. it's after the french company that owns peugeot and citroen struck a £1.9 billion deal to buy general motors' european unit, which includes vauxhall. 11,500 workers are employed by the company in luton and ellesmere port. the unite union says its priority is to safeguard theirjobs. our business correspondent joe lynam is here. what other worries about jobs? what other worries aboutjobs? one half thousand people work for vauxhall. psa is notjust taking over boxall, it is taking over the german brand, opel. there are factories in germany and slovakia as well. there is a geopolitical play happening. the germans will pitch ha rd to happening. the germans will pitch hard to keep their factories open and the brits will pitch hard to keep their factories open. in the last few minutes, the boss of psa has been giving a press conference. he has said he wants to create a european automotive champion and unleash the potential of vauxhall and opel. he is committed to the iconic brands. but there is a but. they also want to increase profit margins. their future, these factories across europe, is in their hands and based on their performance. i quote him, he is a noted cost cutter and an unsentimental cost cutter at that. if he thinks that temper macro pla nts if he thinks that temper macro plants in luton and ellesmere port are not productive enough and do not make enough cars fast enough, he will have a long think about closing them down post 2020. —— vauxhall. next year, 2018, he will think, where are the next generation of astra is going to be built? there are currently made in ellesmere port. britain will be in the middle ofa port. britain will be in the middle of a series of education with its european partners about the trade deal, the result of which we will not have next year. maybe the decision will be taken with a blindfold. thank you very much. thank you. more reaction throughout the programme to that deal. we will talk to the unite union later on. joanna is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. police say 13 potential terror attacks have been thwarted since 2013, and that more than 500 investigations are being carried out at any one time. counter—terrorism officers are encouraging the public to be vigilant, as our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. the moments caught on a security camera when this man was visiting a bag of fertiliser. he was plotting and al-qaeda type bombing campaign against shopping centres and nightclubs. he was caught because a woman working at a storage warehouse became suspicious and called police, potentially saving hundreds of lives. if you have a concern about something you have seen or heard that could identify terrorist threats, report it. a new police campaign focuses on the important contribution the public can make. it could be anything that strikes you as unusual. detectives say the public are still playing an important part in one third of their current investigations. it might be a neighbour or someone in the community who is showing signs of radicalisation. maybe they are visiting the dark web. those forms of behaviour to somebody you do not know, maybe where you work or where you get shopping. you see someone where you get shopping. you see someone in an where you get shopping. you see someone in an area you where you get shopping. you see someone in an area you know any thing that is not quite right. those are the bits of information that we want. senior detectives are warning that supporters of so—called islamic state are not the only threat. al qaeda remains a danger as well, as does far—right terrorism. new officialfigures show that the number of attacks in britain thought to have been thwarted sincejune 2013 has risen to 13, one higher than the figure given six months ago. at any one time, the security services are running around 500 investigations. the threat level remains at severe, which means the risk of an attack is assessed as highly likely. north korea has fired four missiles — three of which landed less than 200 miles from the north—west coast of japan. the missiles appear to have been launched from a remote military base close to china. japan's prime minister described it as "an extremely dangerous action". the world health organisation has warned that air pollution is one of the biggest threats facing global public health today. in a bbc interview, the who's director general margaret chan said poor air quality is a problem on a greater scale than hiv or ebola and has a disproportionate impact on young people. the former boxer michael watson says he hung on "for dear life" as he was dragged several hundred metres along a road during a violent carjacking in east london. watson, who suffered a near—fatal brain injury during a fight with chris eubank in 1991, spoke to the bbc‘s crimewatch programme about last month's attack. it came like a nightmare. i couldn't believe it, that it could actually happen. i was hanging on for dear life. evil thugs, that's what they are. they are evil and senseless. and you can see that interview in full on crimewatch tonight at 9pm on bbc one. this programme has found that nearly 80% of gcse students who are forced to resit maths and english, fail the exam. since 2013, it's been compulsory for students in england who fail to get a c grade to keep trying in further education until they turn 18. schools and colleges are warning it's putting teachers and their budgets under pressure. victoria will be speaking to students and teachers about the impact of re—sits a bit later in the programme. fbi directorjames comey has rejected president donald trump's claim that his predecessor, barack obama, tapped his phone. mr comey reportedly asked the us justice department to reject the allegation that mr obama ordered a wiretap during last year's election campaign. he is said to have asked for the correction because it falsely insinuates that the fbi broke the law. survivors, victims' relatives and rescue workers will gather today to mark the 30th anniversary of the zeebrugge ferry disaster. 193 passengers and crew died when the herald of free enterprise capsized shortly after leaving the belgian port, as duncan kennedy reports. the capsized hulk of one of britain's's worst shipping disasters. the herald of free enterprise laying on its side close to the entrance of the belgian port of zeebrugge. the british ferry disaster of belgium... it was 30 yea rs

on, this disaster continues to affect the lives of hundreds of ordinary people, the design of ships and britain's maritime history. councillors will decide today whether to issue a new licence for a zoo where almost 500 animals have died in the last four years. south lakes zoo, in cumbria, was fined almost three hundred thousand pounds following the death of a keeper who was mauled by a tiger in 2013. government inspectors have criticised the zoo for overcrowding, and lack of proper welfare for animals. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 9.30am. here is a message from one dealer. that is about the story we will be bringing una few minutes about all the thousands of 16—year—old who are forced to rethink gcse maths and english if they fail at the first time, sometimes we sitting at four or five time, sometimes we sitting at four orfive times. this time, sometimes we sitting at four or five times. this viewer says forcing them to keep resetting is cruel, unnecessary and probably humiliating. do get in touch with us throughout the morning. use the hashtag victoria live and ff you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. let's get some sport withjohn and why is arsene wenger leaving out his best player? it was baffling when he started on the bench. they lost against liverpool. it turns out arsene wenger dropped him to the bench following and argued with some of his team—mates in the lead up to that game with liverpool. it is quoted that he walked away from a training session, argued with some of his team—mates and had to be restrained. this was him warming up at half—time. it was not enough despite setting up the goal for danny welbeck. they did lose. alexis sanchez, the star man, move to arsenal to win trophies. i think he recognises that will not happen. they looks likely to be moving out of the champions league and will not win the title. following the defeat against liverpool, unlikely they may not finish in the top four places. these types of leaks do not —— leaks do not come out when there is unity in the dressing room full that turns out at arsenal there is not unity which is why this type of thing is being leaked. fans are concerned because there is the real possibility that they may be without their manager, arsene wenger, they may be without alexis sanchez, and they may be without champions league football. where would that leave arsenal next season? quite a lot of the fans do want arsene wenger to go. paris danger man is one place he may be off to. it's been a great weekend at the european indoor athletics championships, but there's a new golden girl of british athletics, isn't there? jessica ennis—hill announced her retirement and mo farah has said he will concentrate on the longer distances. who will come in and replace these big names? laura newell is right up there. she won two medals at the european championships in belgrade. —— muir. she set a new championship record in the 3000 metres, which is fantastic for her. she had a slightly disappointing olympics where she finished seventh. to come back and win two gold medals in quick succession is really impressive for the 23—year—old. you may have seen her on saturday. rather overzealous official did not allow her to go and celebrate a victory lap after her 1500 metres. here she was. what shall i do? shall i, shan't i? despite having run 1500 metres, she drops her shoulder and goes and runs a celebratory lap. she was lulling her in and goes, no, i am not having it. things, i'm going to go for it now and off she makes it — for it. she got a victory lap on saturday and yesterday as well. the world championship is to come in london in the summer. we hope she will be one of the star names. this morning, how hundreds of thousands of pupils are stuck in a cycle of gcse re—sits as they try to achieve a grade c in maths and english. since 2013, it's been compulsory for students in england who fail to get a c grade to keep trying again in further education until they turn 18. for some students this means taking the exam four or five times. and this programme can reveal that nearly 80% of those who re—sit their gcses continue to fail. schools and colleges say it is putting pressure on their teachers and their budgets. so, is the policy failing? are there some students who will never do well at subjects like english and maths but are gifted in other vocational subjects? our reporterjames longman has this exclusive report. i'm paige and i'm resitting maths. i'm mohammed and i'm resiting english. i'm gina smassey and i'm retaking my maths gcse for the 5th time. english and maths, some would say, are the building blocks of a good education, and in 2013, the government made it compulsory for gcse students in these subjects to get at least a c grade. the problem is a lot of people find that quite hard. if they don't make that grade then they have to resit. but the mjority of those resitting english and maths aren't getting there. and incredibly last year in england, 80% of these students taking gcses after year 11 didn't manage to make the grade, even after four or five attempts, meaning thousands are going back again and again to retake their exams. it's demoralising, teachers say, and it's putting a massive strain on already limited resources. i failed my maths gcse about four times. it's horrible because you feel like you're stupid. you feel there's something wrong with you because i'm 18 and i'm being put into a class with 15—year—olds. but you've got to keep going because i need it to pass and i need it to get a job and get into university. every time i've taken the maths test i've been about five marks away. i've always got ds. i haven't got us or anything like that and i'm so close. it's so frustrating knowing that i'm so close, yet so far. develop those details a little bit for me. the heads of english and maths teach resit classes here at tollworth girls' school, which has a mixed sixth form, but their busy timetable means they only get a couple of hours a week. so you've resat english how many times? three, three orfour times. and is anyone else in the same boat? three orfour? yeah. is it notjust every time, going back to do another exam, does it not get you down? it is something that hurts me a lot. sometimes i find it a bit funny that i'm always getting very close without getting cs. it takes some of my time, instead of doing a—level subjects. what are your other a—level subjects? i'm doing maths and physics and further maths. okay, so really, you don't care about english. you're really good at maths. yeah. what's it like for you? you have to keep coming back to the same students again and again. i mean, i feel frustrated for them, because they work incredibly hard. what would you be doing if you weren't teaching this resit class? teaching another class, a year 7 or 8, or a—level, for exmaple. so are students further down the school having their time with you impacted because you need to take these resit classes? i mean obviously i've got an amazing department of teachers that can teach them, but with budget cuts and everything like that there is pressure to find staffing so there is pressure to find staffing so it can have a knock on effect. there is pressure to find staffing so it can have a knock on effectlj have got some maths gcse papers here. i mean, i don't know half the a nswe i’s here. i mean, i don't know half the a nswers to here. i mean, i don't know half the answers to these! how does it, having a look at this, i mean what, how does it make you feel like reading through that? what's the problem with this paper? i mean why aren't you getting it?|j problem with this paper? i mean why aren't you getting it? i don't know. you're laughing having a look at one of those questions. what's so funny about it? it'sjust, there isjust questions on here that are like i can never do those ones and that's probably why i fail. i always like the ones where they go, "john and sally and mandy have 25 apples. at the end it's like what time did sally go to school? and you're like hang on, that wasn't original of the equation. i am the director of maths. if all these students aren't making the grade, is that, doesn't that just mean making the grade, is that, doesn't thatjust mean the teaching isn't good enough? some might say perhaps the teaching isn't up to scratch, but i refute that because we've got a very good set of teachers here who are very committed and if you look at the set of results and what they achieve, they are very good. it's a lot more of a challenge trying to get students who have not been able to get there and who need more time, but are not able to have the time and quality of support for them and in some cases, i think, fundamentally, they are on the wrong course because a different pathway is required for them. for lots of students, academic subjects aren't for them. norwich couege subjects aren't for them. norwich college offers cooking, photography and hairdressing. the law says that every needs to stay in item education or training until they're 18. thousands of college starters on the back foot if they haven't got the back foot if they haven't got the english and maths at gcse. we're here at city college norwich. just under half of everyone who starts here comes without the grades they need. i'm josh. iwant here comes without the grades they need. i'm josh. i want to be a brick layer. my name is ryan. i want to be a photographer. i'm more of a hands on sort of person. i've tried so ha rd on sort of person. i've tried so hard just to try and get this one gcse which is a letter on a bit of paper. i'm a lot better in actually practical subjects. i've got eight out of nine distinctions in this course so out of nine distinctions in this course so far. i have had to do my english gcse five times, coming up to the sixth. ijust find it english gcse five times, coming up to the sixth. i just find it very difficult sitting behind a desk and doing something like that. i'd rather be outside laying bricks, laying concrete, doing that sort of stuff. i have always found and i'm good at it. what is it about english that you don't like? it is almost a slight bit of torture with the way that they know that some people just don't get english, but they're still making me do it. the criticism for the exams is they are very one—size—fits—all. you're laying bricks and yet you're expected to recite poetry by william shakespeare and maybe that's not exactly the kind of thing you want to be tested in? no, ifind a lot kind of thing you want to be tested in? no, i find a lot of that difficult and i find i can't show what i can do through doing english and like you say through shakespeare and like you say through shakespeare and stuff like that because it's not what i'm good at. now i've done my uni interviews i have got a place at ipswich and i don't need english! so you spent all this time doing it and you spent all this time doing it and you didn't need it? yeah, which is annoying. city college norwich has so many stu d e nts city college norwich has so many students that need to take their gcses and they need to rent this space to fit them all in. this is norfolk showground, one of the biggest indoor spaces in the cou nty the biggest indoor spaces in the county and it is not the only place being rented out by colleges need more room. the association of colleges says neng gland last year, one in five plans to hire external venues to cope with the numbers. two—thirds were forced to take on short—term staff and colleges say there is no additionalfunding short—term staff and colleges say there is no additional funding from there is no additional funding from the government for any of this. i'm head of school for gcses and maths at city college norwich. how much is it costing you to keep going with the exams? there is such a range. the cost is £50,000, the transport. we receive no funding. that's because of this 2013? the numbers have increased. we have gone up by aao% in terms of numbers of students who are taking a gcse. what would you like the government to do? what did they do wrong and what should they change? the policy is a fantastic thing in principle that we should hold on to that as a good starting point. we have had a good run at it. we have seen what works and what doesn't and what we now need is an alternative suite of level two qualifications which are accessible for the hundreds of thousands of students who have failed something that was to a degree designed for them to fail. designed to fail or pushing for better? the government says it made the c grade compulsory to up standards. by the way, thousands of stu d e nts standards. by the way, thousands of students are struggling to make the grade. the department for education say, "school leavers who achieve gcses in maths and english significantly increase their chances of securing a good job" but is it time to rethink the policy of forcing teenagers in england to keep re—sitting their maths and english gcse until they get a grade corabove? orturn18. a viewer says, "my son has been forced to re—ta ke a viewer says, "my son has been forced to re—take his maths exam. it is ridiculous that children who already have to fight so hard have this added stress." this viewer says, "our daughter has special needs and diabetes. neither of these fa cts needs and diabetes. neither of these facts a re needs and diabetes. neither of these facts are taken into contribution. she sat maths twice and has been failed. head has been bullied and ridiculed. she has been told she has got another 18 months to keep resiting. please accept that some childrenjust can't resiting. please accept that some children just can't do it." this viewer says, "i work at my university and i see a lot of potential students re—think their decision to do further study. they are held back by the fact that they don't have a minimum of c grade in maths or english. when you're 16, maths or english. when you're16, this might not feel as important as it really is." so your views on this, of course, welcome. whether you're someone who's had to resit your gcses, or a parent or teacher. do get in touch in the usual ways and more on this to come after 10am. vauxhall, the deal, psa have bought the company. concerns in this country for the jobs at luton and ellesmere port. this is what the government source say. they are cautiously optimistic about the future of car production at vauxhall. ministers believe the buy—out could even lead to more jobs in britain. it suggested psa may seek to relocate some peugeot production to british car plants to maximise sales in britain. it has argued that britain is increasingly attractive to car manufacturers because of its leading role in developing electric cars and low—carbon and battery technology. government sources are saying that. north korea has launched four ballistic missiles towards the sea of japan. at least three of them dropped into a japanese economic zone after flying for around 1,000 kilometres and have been described by the japanese prime minister as a "new stage of threat". experts say that with successive, repeated and multiple tests, pyongyang's missile technology can only be improving. the ranges of those missiles, they've been estimated in these global maps here, are thought to extend across asia, parts of europe and parts of north america. north korea claims it is in the final stages of developing intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of hitting us cities with nuclear war—heads. still no confirmation out of pyongyang itself of what happened. it is just about the most secretive society in the world — let's take a look at the background. piano music. chanting. gentle piano music. speaks own language. gentle piano music. loud rhythmic clapping. our report ended there with us baseball star dennis rodman, who struck up a controversial friendship with the north korean leader. in seoulfor us now, our correspondent, stephen evans. what kind of missiles are they? that would seem to be quite crucial. absolutely crucial. we do not know at the moment. they looked to be intermediate range. once north korea looses off quite frequently in this kind of situation. but they may be intercontinental ballistic missile is all some kind of prototype which could be turned into that. the significance could be that if they we re significance could be that if they were fully developed they could hit the united states. if north korea we re the united states. if north korea were making proper progress towards that, clearly it ups the ante significantly. there is a bit of background to this. at the moment south korean troops and us troops are in caged injoint exercises. north korea says this is just planning and preparation for invasion. if you look at the exercises, there are a lot of troops on landing craft and that kind of thing. it happens every year every year north korea gets very angry and looses off missiles and that kind of thing. if it isjust looses off missiles and that kind of thing. if it is just that, it is not that untoward. it showing significant improvement in the missiles, then people outside will be properly worried. if they have missiles which can travel that distance, reaching america, for example, do we know if they also are capable of carrying nuclear warheads? they have not got them yet. they need to get the warhead small enough and missiles that will go far enough. they also need crucially to have material so that the missile in the warhead can leave the missile in the warhead can leave the atmosphere but also come back again. they do not seem to be able to do that yet. lots of announcements from pyongyang saying they have got the materials, now we can do it, but no real proof. what the outside experts say, not political people, they are making progress towards that, maybe five yea rs, progress towards that, maybe five years, maybe a bit less. but the progress is only going one way. it is not something which many people expect not to happen at some stage. thank you very much. still to come... the zoo in cumbria where almost 500 animals have died over the past four yea rs. animals have died over the past four years. there are calls for it to close down. do you use tablets and smartphones as a way of pacifying your children before bedtime? research suggests it is not good and we will speak to one parent who has not slept for two years because her toddler is not sleeping very well. here'sjoanna in the bbc newsroom with a summary of today's news. government sources say they're "cautiously optimistic" about the future of car production at vauxhall. it's after the french company that owns peugeot and citroen struck a £1.9 billion deal to buy general motors' european unit, which includes vauxhall. a,500 workers are employed by the company in luton and ellesmere port. the unite union says its priority is to safeguard theirjobs. police say 13 potential terror attacks have been thwarted since 2013. the uk's most senior counter—terrorism police officer has also revealed that more than five hundred investigations are being carried out at any one time. he disclosed the figures as he launched an appeal that aims to get members of the public to report any suspicious behaviour. there has been international condemnation of north korea, after it launched four ballistic missiles into japanese waters. the missiles appear to have been launched from a remote military base close to china. japan's prime minister described it as "an extremely dangerous action". this programme has found that nearly 80% of gcse students who are forced to resit maths and english, fail the exam. since 2013 it's been compulsory for students in england who fail to get a c grade to keep trying in further education until they turn 18. schools and colleges are warning it's putting teachers and their budgets under pressure. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 10:00am. thank you for your comments on the refit merry—go—round. it is ridiculous. my son's entire class failed due to a teacher who was sacked. now they are stuck on this merry—go—round of resits.|j sacked. now they are stuck on this merry-go-round of resits. i am 16 and i'm hoping to get cs for them if ido and i'm hoping to get cs for them if i do not and i'm hoping to get cs for them if ido notiam and i'm hoping to get cs for them if i do not i am worried what people think of me in the future. one boy had to be take the exam eight times. he felt useless. the anyway we coped was to treat it as a joke. this obsession of getting a c is failing our students. now for the sport. it appears arsenal manager arsene wenger dropped alexis sanchez to the bench for their match with liverpool after the player argued with his team mates and left a training session early in the run up to the match. at the time it looked a baffling decision by the manager, wenger said it was for tactical reasons, but it now appears the player's behaviour may have been behind it. the club's top goalscorer did come at half time, but it wasn't enough to stop arsenal slipping to a 3—1 defeat. it's now looking increasingly likely that the player may leave at the end of the season, amid strong interest from some of europe's top clubs. laura muir had a weekend to remember, with record—breaking gold medal performances in the 1500 and 3000 metres in the european indoor championships in belgrade. great britain won ten medals in all, and finished second overall behind poland. after his defeat of david haye in the all—british heavyweight fight, tony bellew says that may have been his last professional bout. bellew says he's not sure he wants to put his body through that kind of punishment again amid suggestions that there could be a rematch between the pair. and england's cricketers are enjoying their time in the caribbean — they've won the one—day international series against the west indies with one game to go. joe root hitting the winning runs in antigua yesterday. that is all the sport. there are calls for a zoo, where almost 500 animals have died in four years, to be closed down. serious questions have been raised about the way the animals at the south lakes safari zoo in dalton—in—furnes in cumbria, are treated. in 2013, the zoo was fined nearly £300,000 after a keeper was mauled to death by a tiger. today the local council will discuss the zoo's future. here's some of what they'll be looking into. let's talk now to andrew rosindell, a conservative mp and chair of the all—party parliamentary group on zoos and aquariums. and elisa allen, the director of animal rights charity peta uk. what has shocked you most about what has happened over the last few yea rs ? has happened over the last few years? this is the stuff of nightmares. it is like a bad horror film. animals, nearly 50a years, have perished from malnutrition, hypothermia. there are reports of a taut as he was accidentally electrocuted. it does not get much worse than this. —— a tortoise. i would hate for viewers to take away from this this was a bad apple, an isolated incident, when it is not. the only difference between this particular zoo and many others in this country is that the report has been made publicly available. right. should it get a new license?m been made publicly available. right. should it get a new license? it is important to recognise that most zoos across important to recognise that most zoos across the united kingdom have a good record of animal welfare and conservation. this is an isolated case. you say it is not. in 2013, the born free foundation conducted a review of zoos in this country was that they found that two thirds of the 300 zoos did not meet the criteria, did not provide adequate animal welfare for the animals in captivity. there is legislation which deals with theirs. there should be regular checks by qualified vets supported by defra and the local authority should be regularly checking zoos. there does need to be proper inspections. this is an argument for making the system more robust. it is not an argument for saying that zoos should be closed down. with respect, the zoo did have a licence. it was inspected and still these conditions were allowed to continue for years. this was not something that happened from one day to the next. again, i think it goes to a wider conversation we need to have about whether or not zoos have a place in society. this was an extreme example. there was a particular management style which we nt very particular management style which went very wrong. new people have taken went very wrong. new people have ta ken over. went very wrong. new people have taken over. over four years, despite inspections and having a licence, animals continue to die. there should be an investigation. the previous owner should have been stripped of his licence. no way should he ever get a licence again. the new people running the zoo are getting the zoo is back in good order again. have you met them? getting the zoo is back in good orderagain. have you met them? i have spoken to them, had communications with them. i have had a report directly from the vet who has inspected the zoo, an independent vet, who tells me things are improving to masticate. if you meet the animals out, is it better for the animals? closing the zoo is not necessarily the best thing at this stage. the company in charge declined giving as an interview. they said, we took on the challenge with significant financial liabilities. we have work to do. we are pushing hard to meet our goals without compromise to meet big standards for animals in our care and for our staff and local community. we drive forward to earn safaris to its place in the modern community does they do not want to go anywhere soon. community does they do not want to go anywhere soon. he talked about defra regulations and licenses. nearly 500 animals have perished in this facility. we are talking about a piece of paper, a stamp on a piece of paper. defra is also an organisation which has provided licenses to circuses in this country. we know they have also repeatedly failed animals. the british veterinary association has made it very clear that circuses have no place in this country. we are talking about zoos today and not circuses. the same authority also gra nts circuses. the same authority also grants licences to them. zoos provide a huge amount of good work in this country for conservation, education, scientific research and animal welfare is paramount. education, scientific research and animalwelfare is paramount. i education, scientific research and animal welfare is paramount. i work with zoos as chair of the committee in parliament all the time was that they do magnificent work. if you look at the amount of people going to zoos, the money that is reinvested in conservation and protecting endangered species, it would be totally the wrong reaction to look at this one example and say all zoos are doing a bad job are not looking after their animals. do you wa nt looking after their animals. do you want all zoos in the uk to be closed? i think we need to look at raising them out. i got into the metaphor of conservation a few years ago. no animal born in captivity will ever be released back into the wild. no panda, no gorilla, no polar bear will be released into the wild. there have been around £a00 about. zoos in this country are investing millions of pounds in conservation projects around the world. the association for zoos and aquariums in the united kingdom is working with all of the zoos in the united kingdom. money is invested in conservation and research across the world. they do a fantasticjob for animal welfare and for conservation. whilst i understand your concerns andl whilst i understand your concerns and i hate the idea that any animal should be harmed and treated in this way. the reality is that we should work with zoo —— the zoo community to get the best for the animals. closing them down is not the answer. just to end on that. 90% of animals in zoos are not in danger. any talks about conservation is really short lived. zoos exist first and foremost for people and not for the animals. education, scientific research as well for that they do a great job and we should appreciate the job the zoo and we should appreciate the job the zoo community does in the united kingdom. ok. i shall be really interested to see what our viewers think. thank you for coming onto the programme. deciding whether the zoos should get a new licence. thank you very much. many comments from you on teenagers resiting maths and english gcse. i'll read some in a second. coming up, stuck in a cycle of resits. students in england who fail to get a grade c in gcse maths or english have to carry on studying the subject until they achieve it. we'll speak to two students who've failed to get that c grade, and hear from teachers who believe the policy isn't working. ann says, "i am a private maths tutor and i see a wide range of young people. the new syllabus is tougher and grade four will be harder to achieve. these children need life skills maths so that they can manage their finances etcetera, but this should be sufficient. the government need to re—think this urgently before the mental health of these young people are seriously affected." on facebook erin says, "i had to resit my maths gcse three times. every time i got a d grade and still never managed to pass it, but i still managed to get on to a bio degree at leeds beckett university." next this morning, how much sleep are your children getting at night? hospital attendances in england for children under 1a with sleep disorders have tripled in ten years. that's according to nhs data analysed by bbc panorama, which also found there were ten times as many prescriptions for the sleep medication, melatonin, over the same period. lack of sleep in children can lead to a greater risk of obesity, mental health issues, and poor school performance. and the reason our kids aren't getting enough sleep — kids using smartphones and tablets in their bedrooms, and the blue light they emit reduces the natural production of the hormone that makes us sleepy. in a moment we hearfrom parents who are struggling to get their toddlers to sleep but first here's a short clip from tonight's panorama. are we going to get our pyjamas on? let's talk now to some parents who have problems with their toddlers using technology at bedtime. lucy tobin and her two—year—old son jamie and cookie kibbles and her two—year—old daughter edith. and in leeds, vicki dawson — who says she didn't sleep for five years because of her children. she's now set up and runs an organisation called the children's sleep charity. welcome all of you. cookie, you haven't slept for two years? yes, she is an appalling sleeper. shes not a very good sleeper at all. what do you do? we have resorted to co—sleeping. do you do? we have resorted to co-sleeping. so she sleeps in between you and your other half? co-sleeping. so she sleeps in between you and your other half7m means we get more sleep than getting up means we get more sleep than getting up every ten minutes and settling her, but we get kicked and scratched. right, ok. does edith fall asleep with an ipad in your bed? yes, it is a really bad habit we've got into. we take her up to bed and have to fall asleep with her. for those ten minutes where i'm getting ready to get into bed, it's just, i don't want to say easier, but it is easierjust to give her the ipad to watch a cartoon and then everything is ok, but we need to get out of doing that, because it is not going to help the transition to her bed. how knackered are you on a scale of nine to ten? nine. how tired is she? she doesn't seem to need sleep. she is one of those... every child needs sleep. she is a funny one. she will stay up, if you let her stay up late, she willjust keep on going and going and going. so... hello. how are you? i'm good, thanks. so in terms ofjamie, i think, he is pretty good at sleeping, but he does watch an ipad when he's doing his teeth?” sleeping, but he does watch an ipad when he's doing his teeth? i don't think they're great to use as kind of replacements for parenting or playing, but sometimes you need to distract him and obviously, we don't wa nt distract him and obviously, we don't want his teeth falling out and if he is making a fuss about not brushing sometimes the teletubbies about help and occasionally, that's a nice cuddle... he will wake up early in the morning at 5am where we, my husband and i are knackered and he is perfectly happy just husband and i are knackered and he is perfectly happyjust wide awake so is perfectly happyjust wide awake so occasionally there will be one episode of something while we can doze next to him. what do you think about the research which suggests the blue light from the tablets and the blue light from the tablets and the smartphones disrupts young people's sleep? yeah, that's true, but you can get, there is ways around it. shush. you shouldn't be getting ways around it. there is things that you can do that take away the blue light for night—time use. it is very, it is a worry because you think is that disrupting the sleep. i lie there before i go to sleep another batch of instagram or twitter and e—mails and you know it's wrong, but are addicted and i don't want him to grow up like that. when you go to restaurants and you see kids sitting there with the ipad in front of them, i don't think that's a very good way to learn how to eat in restaurants and things like that. we need to limit it and not fall back on it as an easy option. let me introduce you to vicky. first of all, your reaction to the fact that this suggestion that sleep disorders in under 1as have tripled in the last ten years and it is to do with the blue light from tablets and smartphones which we're giving to our kids before bed or they have got them in their bedrooms? yeah, absolutely. we are seeing more and more referrals coming through to the children's sleep charity and certainly, i think people are becoming more aware of the importance of sleep in terms of children's mental health, their physical well—being children's mental health, their physical well— being and their emotional well—being physical well— being and their emotional well— being and that physical well— being and their emotional well—being and that of the pa re nt emotional well—being and that of the parent as well. but certainly tablets don't help when it comes to sleep. i mean you've heard what cookie said and what lucy said. what's your advice to people when frankly, as a parent you're knackered, your child is knackered and they're watching something on the ipad or tvjust before bed really helps? yeah, absolutely. some parents believe it helps, but what we have got to remember is the tablets have a blue light in them and that interferes with the sleep hormone so it does make it harder for children to fall asleep. also tablets and any electronic devices are mentally stimulating so actually, you know, lots of things are happening with brain activity during sleep. we need bedtime fob as calm as possible and what we actually need is more support for families around how to develop good bedtime routines and we're working really ha rd bedtime routines and we're working really hard in partnership with netmums in order to get that information out there because it is not out there at the moment. information out there because it is not out there at the momentlj information out there because it is not out there at the moment. i mean, most of the us know, don't we, that a bath is good, you know, a bit of warm milk, a story, i mean... some people have been doing it for hundreds of years, right? that is what we aim for most nights and i think that's what we have to try and i guess stick to traditional parenting how we can. yes. but it is very difficult when you have got a routine where an ipad has got, or a ta blet routine where an ipad has got, or a tablet has got introduced. what's your advice about weaning toddlers off the smartphones and the tablets? well, what we do at the sleep charity is we work in partnership with the parents. so actually we speak with the parents and decide do you want to get rid of the tablet? it is not for us to say that that must happen. let's assume we want it to get rid of the tablet before bed? we will look at things like diet. we would be looking at the bedroom environment because there can be lots of stimulation in the bedroom environment through things like colour. we look at temperature and we would look at devicing a good calming bedtime routines that's in line with the children's interests. we should there are no electronic devices in the hour running up to bedtime. we would suggest a supper time and there are some foods that can help around sleep. so avoiding sugary things and going for options like porridge, bananas are good around sleep, milk. we would look at fine motor skill activities, jigsaws, play dough, colouring, any of those kind of activities are really calming. a bath half an hour before bed because that helps raise the body temperature and it is the slow decease in the body temperature that helps children to feel calm and relaxed and ready for sleep. and of course, relaxed and ready for sleep. and of course , a relaxed and ready for sleep. and of course, a bedtime story is a really lovely way to end the day. some messages from people watching around the country. alice says, "we modern day parents have no choice. it just makes life modern day parents have no choice. itjust makes life easier to leave your child with an educational programme on the ipad. because don't vilify us anymore." nicky says, "it is ridiculous. it isjust lazing parenting and bad parenting. i was a single teenage mum. i managed to get my toddler asleep in his room every night. sleep use them as an excuse to not parent properly." how would you respond? it is a mix. she does do imaginative play. we do bath time and story time, she likes books, but with the ipad as well in this day and age, i have got an older son and the amount of things that have changed since he was her age, he's 14 changed since he was her age, he's ia now, by the time she grouse up, it's everything is going to be so technology centred, but i think they have to have small glimpses of using technology early on. i will be falling back on peppa pig and co more. it is in modern. he loves reading and playing. oh, it is not working. probably because it is not making a noise, you see. he wants everything to be all buzzers and whistles. i am worried about you not getting sleep. that's not sustainable. i know, it is difficult. i feel like i've got that to come! not necessarily. well... for his first year he never looked atatv for his first year he never looked at a tv and ipad and he was never the hottest sleeper. i think it is nature. i could never do a routine. i tried leaving her to cry once and i couldn't do it. ijust couldn't do it. i remember my friend saying, "she has done it once and we're in a routine. that will do." isn't "she has done it once and we're in a routine. that will do. " isn't that the thing everything is a phase, the good stuff and the bad stuff. thank you very much. vicky, thank you very much for coming on the programme. i really appreciate it. what a good girl you've been and jamie. good little boy. and you can watch that panorama special tonight. that's sleepless britain at 8.30pm on bbc one. coming up, the french car company, psa owns peugeot and citroen has reached a deal to buy vauxhall in britain and opel in germany from the us firm, general motors. let's get the latest weather update with carol. the weather is not going to be as cute as what you've just had. we have had a mixture of sunshine and showers. as victoria said, it is a cold start, even now, it is cold. as well as the sunshine and showers, we have got some rain. that rain has been pushing in courtesy of this area of low pressure which is now moving quite swiftly across france and it will be in italy by tea—time. around that, are strong winds and indeed gales, severe gales. we have had a gust of wind at 119mph. that low pressure brought and still is bringing rain across south—west england and the channel islands. but as we go through the next few hours, you'll find that will turn more showery. there will be bright spells or sunshine and really the forecast for much of the uk today is just that. bright spells, sunny spells, and showers. a lot of the showers in the east, but by the afternoon, we will be seeing rain coming in across northern ireland with hill snow. for scotland, it is a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. some of the showers on the hills will be falling as snow. we have got an old front producing rain. as we move into england, north—west england seeing drier conditions, north—east england seeing the showers and the showers continuing across east anglia, essex and kent, but you know the drill with showers, not all of us the drill with showers, not all of us will see them. some of us will stay dry. bright conditions across southern england and the south midlands. after the rain in south—west england, a brighter afternoon with just a few showers. the rain in northern ireland pushes into western scotland, northern england and parts of wales. we've got showers across the east, but look at the wind arrows. they are coming from every direction and inland we are looking at frost and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. should get a new licence. thank you very much. more rain coming into south—west england and wales. the further east to the better chance you have of hanging onto dry conditions with sunshine until later in the day. as the band of rain crosses the hills, some of us will see some snow. temperatures, seven, eight. we're looking at nine, 11 if you are not. tuesday and into wednesday, these two fronts going east and this one coming south. this will produce quite a bit of rain as we head on through the course wednesday. looking at the chart for wednesday, we have a band of rain going east and another one going south. quite wet across england and wales and northern scotland. still windy but a high of 1a. hello. it's monday, 10 o clock. i'm victoria derbyshire. students in england are struck in a cycle of resits. almost 80% of them fail their maths and english gcse retakes. ifindi i find i cannot ifind i cannot show i can do through english and shakespeare and stuff like that. that is not what i good at. i am 18 and i am being put into a class with 15—year—olds. but you have to keep going because i needed pass. all that to come. little later we will hear from stu d e nts little later we will hear from students about the general stress of taking gcses. some tellers they are physically sick the night before their xsan is. —— some tell us they are physically sick the night before their exams. be on your guard' — that's the warning from police who reveal thirteen terror attacks have been thwarted since 2013, and that hundreds of investigations are being carried out. sometimes members of the public can give this information to start an investigation. other times, they do this another piece of information to help. addicts in durham may soon receive free heroin, as police try to cut drug—related crime. could it work — orjust lead to more users moving to durham? good morning. here'sjoanna in the bbc newsroom with a summary of today's news. government sources say they're "cautiously optimistic" about the future of car production at vauxhall. it's after the french company that owns peugeot and citroen struck a 1.9 billion pound deal to buy general motors' european unit, which includes vauxhall. four and a half thousand workers are employed by the company in luton and ellesmere port. the unite union says its priority is to safeguard theirjobs. speaking at a news conference in paris, the chief executive of psa — carlos tavares — said the purchase will benefit all companies involved. we will totally unleash the full potential of opel and vauxhall brands. we are committed to the two iconic brands with their german and british heritage. we trust the talent of opel and opel employees to accelerate the turnaround and enhance innovation capability to address electrification and mobility services opportunities. police say 13 potential terror attacks have been thwarted since 2013. the uk's most senior counter—terrorism police officer has also revealed that more than five hundred investigations are being carried out at any one time. he disclosed the figures as he launched an appeal that aims to get members of the public to report any suspicious behaviour. the former boxer michael watson says he hung on "for dear life" as he was dragged several hundred metres along a road during a violent carjacking in east london. watson, who suffered a near—fatal brain injury during a fight with chris eubank in 1991, spoke to the bbc‘s crimewatch programme about last month's attack. it came like a nightmare. i couldn't believe it, that it could actually happen. i was hanging on for dear life. evil thugs, that's what they are. they are evil and senseless. and you can see that interview in full on crimewatch tonight at 9 o'clock on bbc one. this programme has found that nearly 80 percent of gcse students who are forced to resit maths and english, fail the exam. since 2013, it's been compulsory for students in england who fail to get a c grade to keep trying in further education until they turn 18. schools and colleges are warning it's putting teachers and their budgets under pressure. victoria will be speaking to students and teachers about the impact of re—sits shortly. councillors will decide today whether to issue a new licence for a zoo where around 500 animals have died in the last four years. south lakes zoo, in cumbria, was fined almost three hundred thousand pounds following the death of a keeper who was mauled by a tiger in 2013. government inspectors have criticised the zoo for overcrowding, and lack of proper welfare for animals. one animal rights charity told this programme the problem was not isolated but a problem across zoos in the uk. the born free foundation together with bristol university conducted a review of zoos in this country. they found that two thirds of the 300 zoos did not meet their criteria, did not provide adequate animal welfare for their animals in captivity. charlotte on twitter says, we went to zoo and the animals look so unhappy that we left after ao look so unhappy that we left after a0 minutes. it was too upsetting. another has e—mailed, i am so sad to hear of these deaths. we have enslaved the animals and neglected our duty to take care of them. lucy says... closing them down is the answer and anyone who says otherwise is only after the money they make. thank you for those comments. arsene wenger‘s decision to drop star man alexis sanchez to the bench for the crucial match with liverpool on the weekend may not have been a tactical decision as he claimed. it turns out the forward argued with his team mates — with reports that one player had to be restrained — after he left a training session early in the run up to the match. arsenal are on the brink of being knocked out of the champions league and outside of the premier league places. speaking on the radio last night, ian wright said all is not well at the club. if he is not playing in games and storming out of training, it is not a problem for him when he comes on because he still performs to the best of his abilities. everything i have read into it and seen and now hearing this, it says it is not looking good for arsenal and him. i believe his agent is probably on the phone to be borne out. if i were him,i phone to be borne out. if i were him, i would phone to be borne out. if i were him, iwould probably phone to be borne out. if i were him, i would probably want to leave as well. this is not why he came to arsenal. especially not being in the top four. he stormed out of training and not played in a game against a rival. everything points towards that he is unsettled and unhappy and seems like he wants to go. and the bbc has just announced it will broadcast every game from the 2019 women's world cup. england came third in 2015 at the tournament — after they beat germany in the play—off. that tournament reached more than 12 million people on bbc tv last time round. now is this the new face of british athletics? scottish middle distance runner laura muir announced herself on the international stage with two record—breaking gold medal performances at the european indoor championships at the weekend. having broken dame kelly holmes' 1500 metre record on saturday, this was her setting a new championship record in the 3000 metres yesterday. she wasn't even born the last time a british athlete won two individual golds at the championships, that was 23 years ago when colinjackson did it. idid not i did not know what my legs are going to do. i was hanging in that. i felt so tired i was so glad i could do that today. did it go according to plan? i thought it was in the interests of the turk to take it out. i'd tagged onto her the use the speed yen to cross the line in first place. world cruiserweight boxing champion tony bellew says he's not sure whether he'll fight again. bellew beat david haye in an all—british heavyweight fight on satuday, a bout that was built on animosity between the pair. and speaking this morning, bellew was asked if he would take up the chance of a rematch against haye if it came about. ido i do not know. ijust hope he gets helping as soon as possible. i'm going to take some time out to recover with family. i'm not sure i can go through this anymore. i will be totally honest. i'm not sure my body can deal with it. i have far exceeded what i set out to do in this business and this game. i really have. it is going to take something special to draw me back out. i am something special to draw me back out. iam being something special to draw me back out. i am being totally honest. that is all the sport for now. the zeebrugge ferry disaster will go down in history as a tragedy that happened because of a simple, careless error. one man failed to shut the bow doors on the herald of free enterprise. millions of gallons of water flooded into the ship and it capsized. 193 people died shortly after boarding the ferry to dover. in the darkness and confusion last night, many of the survivors found themselves separated from their loved ones. the horror continued this morning, as they wondered what had happened to relatives or friends. some learned the worst comers but others had the joy of being told their companions were safe. as survivors were winched up or taken off by a flotilla of tugs and rescue craft, every available medical team was sent to the area. hospitals in nearby bruges and blankenburg dealt with scores of people with cuts, bruises, hypothermia and shock. the herald's captain was one of several people in intensive care. he told doctors that he'd heard a crash before his ship capsized. it was one of the biggest peacetime shipping disasters in living memory. that was 30 years ago and today ceremonies are being held to commemorate those who died. our correspondent gavin lee is in zeebrugge for us, outside the church where the service will take place. hello. this is the main church here in zeebrugge, just by the coast. those who are here that date 30 yea rs those who are here that date 30 years ago have come back, most of the rescuing teams. some british survivors have come here, who have decided to brave the journey today that there are two parts of the commemoration notjust that there are two parts of the commemoration not just here that there are two parts of the commemoration notjust here behind me where flowers of being laid and respect being paid but also on a commemoration vote. some of the survivors from britain wanted to go out to the same spot where the herald of free enterprise capsized and laid flowers in the water. it was all a catastrophic error. the bow doors were left open. the assistant boson at the time who said atan inquiry assistant boson at the time who said at an inquiry later he was sleeping ina cabin. at an inquiry later he was sleeping in a cabin. thousands of tonnes of water flooded the vehicle deck within 90 seconds just of the harbour here in zeebrugge. it had capsized. 500 people on board, 193 people died for the all but seven we re people died for the all but seven were british. watching this ceremony are some of the divers, some of the teams who were first on the day. i have derek and daniel. derek first of all, you're one of the very first diving teams. terse wood was like when you got to the water. we were working in the evening on a rack in front of the harbour. then we finish at seven o'clock. then we go drinking. we saw one of the navy here. we turn immediately to the ship and take the ship and we started the zeebrugge one. when we arrived, we are thinking, my friend and i. there were a lot of people in the water. we got the look and there was nobody in the water. we navigated the zeebrugge one. we together on my friend and i, two divers, going in the wreck will stop there were plenty of people crying, help, help. the navy, with the helicopter, they go into the back side and we take the front side. we we re side and we take the front side. we were working continually to take people out. the survivors out. till ten o'clock, 1015. after that, everything... people coming on board. many divers coming on board. we organised the groups. every group had to look everywhere. when we hear a tick, tick, tick from people and then we take them out. danny you were in the water who are hours on end. you told me you saw mostly hours on end. you told me you saw m ostly d ea d hours on end. you told me you saw mostly dead bodies. there was a cabin and there were three british lorry drivers. maybe more, yeah. tell me about that. you have been on the boat after 30 years going back to the same spot. tell me what's that like for you coming back. i'm going there in respect for all the people that died there. that's the only reason because as a diver and when i arrived all the people there we re when i arrived all the people there were dead. i don't rescue one person living. after one hour i was only there and! living. after one hour i was only there and i don't rescue living people. only dive. thank you for talking to me. you said it's hard for you to be here andi said it's hard for you to be here and i really appreciate your time and i really appreciate your time and the memorial is continuing here. it was one of those events, it was the biggest peace time maritime tragedies in history. a few of the survivors didn't want to go on the boat. it was too much. they are here within the crowd today, some of the survivors. thank you very much, gavin and gavin talking to the rescuers. more on that on bbc news. this morning, why are almost 80% of students in england who resit their gcse english and maths failing it? those figures, which we can reveal exclusively this morning, have led to calls to overhaul the current policy of forcing students to resit the exams until they pass or turn 18. at the moment it means hundreds of thousands of pupils in england are stuck retaking exams as they try to achieve a grade c in maths and english gcse with many students continuing to fail after taking it three orfour times. schools and colleges say it is putting pressure on their teachers and their budgets. our reporterjames longman brought you the full exclusive story an hour ago, here's a short extract of his full film. english and maths, some would say, are the building blocks of a good education, and in 2013, the government made it compulsory for gcse students in these subjects to get at least a c grade. the problem is a lot of people find that quite hard. if they don't make that grade then they have to resit. but the mjority of those resitting english and maths aren't getting there. and incredibly last year in england, 80% of these students taking gcses after year 11 didn't manage to make the grade, even after four or five attempts, meaning thousands are going back again and again to retake their exams. i failed my maths gcse about four times. it's horrible because you feel like you're stupid. i'm 18 and i'm being put into a class with 15—year—olds. if all these students aren't making the grade, is that, doesn't thatjust mean the teaching isn't good enough? some might say perhaps the teaching isn't up to scratch, but i refute that because we've got a very good set of teachers here who are very committed and if you look at the set of results and what they achieve, they are very good. this is norfolk showground, one of the biggest indoor spaces in the county. it is not the only place being rented out by colleges needing more room. the association of colleges says neng gland last year, one in five plans to hire ex—venues to cope with the numbers. two—thirds we re to cope with the numbers. two—thirds were forced to take on extra short—term staff. were forced to take on extra short-term staff. the costs are incalculable. the cost of the showground is £50,000. it is the cost of the transport, the first aiders and the catering. none of this is being given to you by government? we receive no additional funding. that's because of the new 2013... funding. that's because of the new 2013. .. because funding. that's because of the new 2013... because the numbers increased. we have gone up by aao% in the last three years in terms of numbers of students who are taking a gcse. what would you like the government to do? what did they do wrong and what should they change? we have seen what works and what doesn't. we need an alternative suite of level two, gcse qualifications which are accessible for the hundreds of thousands of stu d e nts for the hundreds of thousands of students each year who have already failed something that was to a degree designed for them to fail. and if you want to watch the full version of that report you can find it on our programme page — bbc.co.uk/victoria. we asked the department for education to speak to us — they said no. we can talk instead to paige bradley and sophie hastilow — who have both failed to get that c grade — in paige's case it's maths, in sophie's it english. scott stevens from havering college in london and jane lunnon from wimbledon high school. and catherine sezen from the association of colleges — they say the current policy isn't working. the impact of resiting, what would you say? it is stressful because having to resit another subject whilst doing your a—levels is just not enough time to study with your other subjects as well as your re—take other subjects as well as your re—ta ke and it's other subjects as well as your re—take and it's a task having to keep going back to resit something that you just can't get. what about you sophie? it is stressful. i have sat this like four times nowjust because i didn't get my grades in school. and i'm literallyjust doing it for that piece of paper. i have got my eqave lants and i'm taking it to get that letter on a piece of paper. do you understand the government's rational, that you need the core subjects, you need a c in maths and english to get on in life? yeah, i understand that, but if it was functional skills, it would be more understandable because with gcses they make you do, they like you go above and beyond which is fairenough, but you go above and beyond which is fair enough, but function skills, every day skills, that's what you needin every day skills, that's what you need in life to get by. as a headteacher, do you think it is right that we force pupils to resit until they get the grade c in maths and english gcse? i'm not here to defend the dfe policy because someone defend the dfe policy because someone from the dfe should be doing that. but i think this standard in english and maths is the gateway as we've discussed to so much in your future life and i therefore do understand why the government have tried to do something quite radical to get more people meeting that standard because... 80% of those who ta ke standard because... 80% of those who take the resits fail again. that's why this is such a timely discussion because we've got philip hammond producing his budget this week. it is not too late philip, dig into your pocket and put some resource and money behind this so that we can properly resource children being supported in trying to meet this. would that make a difference, scott. do you think we should scrap this policy? the gcse was designed for a—level in mind. it is on a preamble to a—level. there is a lot of stu d e nts to a—level. there is a lot of students that i teach, they have chosen a lot of vocational subjects. i reiterated what sophie said. a qualification that would focus more on problem solving skills and english and maths and that what employers require rather than the gcse that focuses on english and analytical skills and evaluation skills. a lot of the students i teach don't tend to see those on releva nt to teach don't tend to see those on relevant to their future career aspirations. what do you think? is it? i think particularly the new gcses coming out we will be doing them next year, i think we need to have a closer look at functional skills rather than the gcses as it stands. you think this policy is failing. it is a waste of time. all these pupils resiting and so many still continuing to fail? we support english and maths. i think it's really important and as we've said, english and maths is really important... but this policy should be scrapped ? important... but this policy should be scrapped? but in terms of the policy, it gives no flexibility so the condition of funding means we have to treat everybody the same. there is no degree of flexibility or meeting individual learning styles. so we've already said that actually, functional skills meets those needs in many ways. it prepares you as it says on the tin, it prepares you for what you're going to be doing in the future for employability, it is more functional. so, we need to go back to the position where functional skills and gcse are an equivalent. the department for education say, "we know school leavers who achieve maths and english increase your chances of securing a good job and we are working with the post 16 sector to ensure that more students are mastering these important skills. we developing options through reforming skills qualifications in maths and english to make sure they deliver the knowledge and skills that employers need and have credibility and prestige in thejobs market." it sounds like they won't change the policy, but we've got the parallel qualifications coming up. they are looking at reforming functional skills and ensuring it meets the needs of young people because i'm not sure the current gcse does. so analysing the language of whether for example, very interesting if you wa nt to for example, very interesting if you want to go and study english literature at university. but not necessarily going to help new terms of communication in you're going to work in industry. that isn't relevant, is it? the point is, rightly or wrongly, it is not the government who is saying, you know, it is employers who are saying in a future, i want, i am looking for maths or english gcse. regardless of the content. that's the qualification that they are looking for. it seems to me, we do need to be straining every nerve that we can to help our kids have the best future life chances. we know, we have been falling down the league tables in maths, we are 27th in the world. why? we're one of the most developed countries. everyone, all of us in education also know if you wa nt of us in education also know if you want to improve standards and performance, you raise aspiration and you have really high expectations. so it has got to be right, but i would argue, specially with maths, i think we have a culture in this country which sort of sets us up to fail from the moment kids walk into reception class let alone by the time we get to 16 plus and that's where the money has got to go in. it is not oon an money has got to go in. it is not 0011 an embarrassment money has got to go in. it is not oon an embarrassment for people to say i'm no good at maths, it is like a badge of honour and i was the same actually! we have got to tackle that. thank you. thank you very much. thank you all of you. thank you for coming on the proing. we heard about the stress of taking the resits whether it is the first time or the fourth, we will talk to a group of students who are preparing for their gcses and hear from mentors who have tips on preparing and dealing with the pressure. police in durham are planning to give free heroin to addicts in a bid to cut drug—related crime. durham constabulary will be the first force in the country to hand the drug out, to long—term users twice a day in shooting galleries. ron hogg is the durham police and crime commissioner and david raynes is from the national drug prevention alliance. thank you for coming on the programme. ron hogg first of all, how will this work? yes, this is going to be based on trials that have been run in darlington, brighton and in london whereby individuals who are selected because of their propensity to respond to this treatment will be given medical grade heroin free of charge. it will then be embedded in a package of a full treatment programme and full support programme to help them get off the drug and back into a drug—free life. off the drug and back into a drug-free life. is there any evidence to suggest that's what happens? where have you looked for the evidence to show that giving addicts free heroin in the end weans them off it? the trial i referred to was evaluated by kings them off it? the trial i referred to was evaluated by king's college london and showed for a particular group of addicts, 5% to 10%, this was an effective way forward and did deliver in reducing crime, reducing blood borne diseases and other viruses that addicts get. and there isa viruses that addicts get. and there is a body of evidence across the world which shows such treatments encourage people back into recovery and do work. david, how do you respond to that? if it works it has got to be worth a try, hasn't it? ron hogg would say it works. the unfortunate fact is ron hogg and his chief constable have got a fairly long history of making bizarre attempts to change national drug policy and i would argue that it is not a matter for police officers. the uk doesn't actually have to look outside itself for experience of providing heroin. since the 1920s, we have provided heroin to some addicts for years and years and now, until the mid—60s that was a sustained policy and any doctor could prescribe, that was changed in the mid—60s because it was found not to be working effectively while it coped with a number of casual users, what it did not cope with is where users were using heroin as a life style users were using heroin as a lifestyle choice. i'm critical of it. the trials that ron talks about we re run it. the trials that ron talks about were run by professor strang and i have been at conferences with him and sat beside him and discussed it with him and he doesn't think it applies to many addicts. why are the police driving this? is it appropriate for police funding voted to them for one purpose ie policing to them for one purpose ie policing to be used for providing state heroin? state heroin... ron hogg? the primary purpose of policing is to prevent crime. we are investing money into a project that will help to reduce levels of crime in the first instance and secondly it will help to address the drugs problem. you are quite right we have a look at evidence in the uk and across the world. in my mind, the evidence is compelling that this will make a real difference. i would have more confidence if they were not so enthusiastic to legalising decriminalised drugs. this agenda is pushed by people who wanted decriminalised and legalise drugs was it has not been effective. the lancashire police have a project which uses police intelligence and co—operative working with the support agencies to target user dealers. one problem is, a lot of heroin addicts are dealers and they sustain their habit by dealing. the head of the world drugs agency said that countries get the drugs problem they deserve. i would argue that police constabularies get the drugs problem may deserve. the approach lancashire police is far more intelligent and cerebral than the approach of durham police. intelligent and cerebral than the approach of durham policem intelligent and cerebral than the approach of durham police. it is all with good to hear from david. approach of durham police. it is all with good to hearfrom david. we actually do listen to him very carefully. obviously we will learn from wherever we can. we believe this approach will deliver in time can this approach will deliver in time ca n start this approach will deliver in time can start —— stabber read. —— durham constabulary. also many other crime prevention projects. we want a cost—effective way of reducing offending and reoffending and projecting the individual. what david is not saying is that the misuse of drugs act has not worked. we need to do something radical and different and that is why we are looking at this scheme within durham constabulary. it is interesting to note that colleagues in scott and are looking at similar scheme in glasgow. a couple of messages from our viewers. bravo, the durham chief co nsta ble, our viewers. bravo, the durham chief constable, for trying something different. another says, i have been using and have been clean. i achieved it on my own. if i could have got free drugs, i would not have got free drugs, i would not have stopped and have the life i have stopped and have the life i have now. thank you very much. still to come? would you report suspicious behaviour to the police? british security services have prevented 13 potential terror attacks in the uk since 2013. we will talk more about this. i am since 2013. we will talk more about this. iam norman since 2013. we will talk more about this. i am norman smith at westminster with the latest on vauxhall big government sources cautiously optimistic that british pla nts cautiously optimistic that british plants can be saved. with the news, here'sjoanna in the bbc newsroom. government sources say they're "cautiously optimistic" about the future of car production at vauxhall. it's after the french company that owns peugeot and citroen struck a £1.9 billion deal to buy general motors' european unit, which includes vauxhall. a,500 workers are employed by the company in luton and ellesmere port. the unite union says its priority is to safeguard theirjobs. and victoria will be getting more reaction to the takeover shortly. police say 13 potential terror attacks have been thwarted since 2013. the uk's most senior counter—terrorism police officer has also revealed that more than five hundred investigations are being carried out at any one time. he disclosed the figures as he launched an appeal that aims to get members of the public to report any suspicious behaviour. there has been international condemnation of north korea, after it launched four ballistic missiles into japanese waters. the missiles appear to have been launched from a remote military base close to china. japan's prime minister described it as "an extremely dangerous action". pop group brass have cancelled all their reunion concerts. the brothers we re their reunion concerts. the brothers were due to pay a full uk tour this summer after a break of 2a years. the dates in newcastle, glasgow, nottingham and birmingham have been scrapped due to unforeseen logistical circumstances. that's a summary of the latest news, join me for bbc newsroom live at 11 o'clock. what do we think there's unforeseen logistical circumstances might be?” would hate to comment. possibly the same thing ran through your head as well. i will leave it to you. i used to love bros. in the day they were all right, won't they? now for the sport. it appears arsenal manager arsene wenger dropped alexis sanchez to the bench for their match with liverpool after the player argued with his team mates and left a training session early in the run up to the match. he warmed up before coming on at half—time. it is claimed he argued with his team—mates and left a training session early. and it's just announced that all of the 2019 women's world cup will broadcast exclusively across the bbc. england came third in 2015 at the tournament in canada, after they beat germany in the play—off. laura muir had a weekend to remember, with record—breaking gold medal performances in the 1500 and 3000 metres in the european indoor championships in belgrade. great britain won ten medals in all, and finished second overall behind poland. after his defeat of david haye in the all—british heavyweight fight, tony bellew says that may have been his last professional bout. bellew says he's not sure he wants to put his body through that kind of punishment again amid suggestions that there could be a rematch between the pair. that's all the sport for now. general motors has agreed a deal — worth almost £2 billion — to sell vauxhall to the french company that owns peugeot and citroen. the deal could affect thousands of british jobs at the vauxhall plants in luton and ellesmere port. workers there have faced years of uncertainty about their future. here is norman. the stakes are massively high. a000 people are employed directly by vauxhall. there could be up to 20,000 people in the supply chain for the a lot ofjobs. at the moment all sides sounding incredibly positive. the french owned bosses are saying they recognise vauxhall is an iconic brand and they want to keep it. the government is saying they have received assurances there will be no changes up to 2021 under the current vauxhall astra model. the unions also sounding cautiously optimistic up also sounding cautiously optimistic up till then was be honest, the real wild card in all of this is brexit. the danger is notjust the uncertainty but what impact that might have on the company's calculations. they have around 2a car plants now. most of the industry think that is too many. there will have to be rationalisation. the question is, where will that happen? if brexit leads to us not only being outside the single market, but outside the single market, but outside the single market, but outside the customs union as well, the fear is that could possibly result in tariffs, trade barriers, increased regulation, additional burdens, which may make britain a less attractive place. even more important is the politics of all of this. perjury is french owned company and might lead to want to close french plants. germany is the biggest player in the eu. does that mean that the british plants become more vulnerable? this morning, len mccluskey, the boss of the unite union, says it is critical the british government made sure it is in the talks when the french and german government are also there.” am asking our government to make certain they are at the table because the french and german governments will be. batting for our british plants will do whatever the french governments and the german government are offering in terms of incentives, we should also be looking at that. of course, the government talk about an industrial strategy and they now need to demonstrate it is more thanjust words will do we have to make certain there is proper government led commitment. last time there was a doubt about the uk—based car plant, nissan in the north—east, greg clark managed to reassure them that this might be harder because of the politics and the fact that the french and the germans will be fighting to keep car plants in the country. let's talk now tojustin madders, the labour mp for ellesmere port and neston, and from one of the vauxhall plant's where jobs may now be at risk. government sources cautiously optimistic. how would you describe your mood? so far we have not heard anything to cause us concern. there has been a commitment to honour the existing production runs and it does not put us in a different position as managers and not put us in a different position as managers and owners not put us in a different position as managers and owners of the company. the car business goes in five or six year cycles in terms of production. there is an opportunity for us to get around the table with peugeot, the government and the unions to put a good dealforward. the combined company will have 2a factories and the boss is saying we need to increase profit margins and effectively the plants in britain presumably saying the rest of the pla nts presumably saying the rest of the plants in germany and elsewhere for the your future is plants in germany and elsewhere for the yourfuture is in plants in germany and elsewhere for the your future is in your hands. the productive and you will be all right. we have every reason to be confident. we have a very efficient plant. managers have beaten off pressures in the past. we have a very good story to tell in that regard. they say they want to increase profit margins by 2% by 2020. that often involves cost—cutting and could meanjobs. every com pa ny wa nts to im prove profit margins. the challenge is there for all of the plants if we look back at our successes in the past, we have shown we can put in a very good beard and if the company wa nts to very good beard and if the company wants to look at improving profit margins, one of the biggest selling points for vauxhall vehicles in this country is that they are built here. what about you leaving the european union question not what difference will that make? it is certainly a complication. we must remember that gm import to this country about the quarter of their production. it cuts both ways. it is not in any one's interest for a brexit deal to be one imposing tariffs or any kind of input and on the cross—border trading with cars. no one wants that. we do not know what will happen. thank you for coming on to the programme. british security services have prevented 13 potential terrorist attacks in the uk sincejune 2013. the uk's ‘s senior counterterrorism officer says there are also 500 live counterterror investigations at anyone time was he is appealing to the public to report suspicious activity, saying your role is absolutely vital. there is the british reserve. it is a bit odd but i'm not going to trouble anybody. we are trying to build up confidence. if your instinct says it is wrong, please call us. even if it is not right, no one will lock you away and throw away the key just on right, no one will lock you away and throw away the keyjust on a call. sometimes that call gives us the starting point for an operation with targets we did not know about. starting point for an operation with targets we did not know aboutm you have a concern about something you have a concern about something you have a concern about something you have seen or heard that could identify a terrorist threat, report it. i am identify a terrorist threat, report it. iama identify a terrorist threat, report it. i am a bit concerned about this ban that has parked up. it could be any thing that strikes you as an usual. do not worry, do not delay, just act. call the police in confidence. information from the public has helped police in the third of the high risk investigations. that speak to peter powell who now advises companies on how to deal with the threat of terrorism and a counterterrorism expert at the university of central lancashire. good morning to you both. let me start with you. first of all, mark rowley is asking for continued help from the public in countering the threat on the public. if you are worried about a family member be carrying radicalised.“ it is used as the resorts, yes. the way it had been implemented in the past, probably not so much that is why you are seeing the relaunch of a different kind of forward facing, public facing way of doing it. yes. in terms of the help that members of the public can give counterterrorist officers, peter powell, it is invaluable from some of the research that has been released today. there are three things to remember. a lot of people are probably listening to this and saying if this is true, why have there not been more arrests as to why have people not gone to court? there is a big difference between intelligence and evidence. what mark rowley from scotland yard is talking about is purely intelligence. that is seldom, if ever, something that is good enough to secure conviction in the court. the second point is this, is it the bank or the fear of the banks that really occupies us? the third point is, is it the bank at all? for most people it is a catastrophic cyber attack questionably we find all our power is out the hospice., food is not coming to us. petrol stations pack up. all of this. the cyber attack is a lot worse than a bomb. we still think in terms of the bomb. that is a fair point. evan lawrence, against some facts today for the people who convert to islam are four times more likely to become terrorists than people who were born muslim and three quarters of terrorists are british. home—grown terrorism by far the biggest threat to this country than imported terrorism. absolutely. do not forget, we have an increasing number of the extreme right wing as well, that are conducting attacks, typically those attacks are considered hate crimes are not terrorism. there is some discrepancy with that. home—grown terrorism, i think is what we're going to be seeing a lot more of in the future and one of the main challenges that the police and security services in the police and security services in the uk have to figure out how to deal effectively and quickly. again, dealing with people who have converted to islam quickly, there is an example here from becoming a muslim to a would—be terrorist, a teenager took two months to plotting to behead the soldier and plotting the murder of lee rigby? you have to figure out what does that text mean. the converts seem to be doing so over the internet. there is no kind of other side of what they are hearing from terrorist recruiters and things like that. peter powell, a final thought. the numberof women peter powell, a final thought. the number of women involved is going up full. yes, it is. we have to part being politically correct sometimes. in 2005 there was a survey carried out after the 7/7 bombings which discovered to the relief of many that something like a divide percent of those following islam would want nothing to do with terrorism. that is irrelevant. it is 6% who did support them for that that equates to 50,000 people in this country actively supporting terrorism of the type we last saw in 2005. there is no gender split. we are seeing more and more men and women able to blow themselves up and or plunge this whole country or parts of it into darkness through as i said before cyberterrorism. that's the biggest hitter. thank you very much for coming on the programme. this morning we've been talking about gcse exams and the number of pupils having to resit maths and english over and over again. we know taking exams can be incredibly stressful — whether it's the first time or the fourth. new figures out today show almost 80% of 16 and 17—year—old students across england are worried about failing their exams. research from the national citizen service also highlights that 70% of them feel overwhelmed by their school work. now in a bid to tackle that stress, in particular gcse anxiety, a scheme called the mind set has been set up by the bbc where past gcse students support those about to take them. they share things like their tips on revision and planning. in a moment we will speak to some of the students taking part, but first here's a short film from bbc bitesize with some tips for dealing with the pressure. don't let people limit you because that's what holds you back. i tried my hardest and i achieved more than they expected. just try and remember no matter how bad you think you're doing or if you're not going it achieve what you want to achieve or what people are telling you should achieve, at the end of the day, no matter the outcome, you haven't failed. it is the best that you could achieve. tell yourself it's fine. say your name, it's going to be ok. believe in yourself. you can always set targets and then you can aim higher, but at least you've got your targets. for me it was like cs andl your targets. for me it was like cs and i would be like oh, i passed it. gcses are just gcses. there is more to life. you come out of them and you can do your a—levels or go on to couege you can do your a—levels or go on to college and do something different and that's when you focus on what you love. you're not working for anybody else. you're not doing it for your teachers or paur parents or faurgrandparents, even for your teachers or paur parents or faur grandparents, even though they will be proud of you. you're doing it for yourself. compare yourself to others if you do it in a light hearted way. the only person you should compare yourself to is yourself in the past because that's the only true sense of progress you can have. so how overwhelming can your gcses be? let's talk now to a group of students who are currently preparing for their exams, plus angel nkomo and james ryan who completed their gcses last summer — they're acting as mentors to share their tips on preparing and dealing with the pressure. how stressed do you get? sometimes ifi how stressed do you get? sometimes if i know we have an exam, we had mocks in january and if i know we have an exam, we had mocks injanuary and we have mocks next week. sometimes i'm so stressed, i vomit. you are physically sick? yeah. i can't sleep. ijust physically sick? yeah. i can't sleep. i just feel like in physically sick? yeah. i can't sleep. ijust feel like in bad moods. almost depression, but i'm not depressed. i don't self—harm and stuff, but it's like... those are only the mocks? i don't know how it's going to be like for my real exams. what about you aaron? when i wa ke exams. what about you aaron? when i wake up in the morning, i feel really stressed and i can't eat anything. i have butterflies in my stopl auk and i feel really sick. what about others? yeah, i have the same problem. it is feeling pressure on yourself to do well. you feel going into the exam you can see the result. you can't see yourself actually doing the questions. result. you can't see yourself actually doing the questionsfi result. you can't see yourself actually doing the questions. it is the fear of the unknown. not knowing whether that hard work that you put into it really paid off in the end. as you were saying before the expectations of yourself from your parents and from your teachers that wa nt parents and from your teachers that want you to do well. who puts the most pressure on you? sometimes myself. sometimes it could be teachers. they will be saying, "we need to revise for a certain amount of hours." i will do that, but i will think i haven't done enough and then i will do more. that's a good thing, isn't it? you have done gcses. has billy got the right attitude? there is massive pressure put on us by our teachers and we wa nt put on us by our teachers and we want to do them justice. you working on your subjects is impressive of the it is something i have done myself and it goes a long way in the long run. do you ever feel that the stress of the pressure that's put on you by exams, does it ever sink into your personal relationships with your personal relationships with your friendships, how do you deal with that? i get stressed. it was affecting my relationships with my friends. in what way? i had to resit two exams and it was stressle for me. my friends were wondering why i was staying behind in class. why i couldn't really socialise. yeah, i was studying. i didn't have time to spend with them. for you guys do you think that the stress of exams, did that affect your performance? on the actual day of the exams i tried to let go of my stress and let go of my fears. how did you let go? everyone around me is in the same situation i'm in and the emotions and the way you feel, that's going to be reflected in the grade boundaries of that exam. if everyone is feeling stressed and worried, it man manifests itself. you know when you feel so prepared and as soon as you open the exam paper and the first question is like, "i didn't revise that." question is like, "i didn't revise that. " you thought question is like, "i didn't revise that." you thought you revised everything. take a minute and breathe. look at the paperment take a second. know that you've revised for it. i took a maths exam and when i opened the paper, everything looked like a different language. i was really stressed, but i had to ta ke was really stressed, but i had to take a minute to breathe and had a prep talk telling myself that it was going to be ok and it was ok in the end. before the exam, what do you feel? what are your thoughts? anxious. everyone is stressing. head in the hands already. i told myself thatis in the hands already. i told myself that is going to be months of hard work going into the exam. i have got to give everything i have got to this exam and remember everything i've learnt. you can't doubt yourself and go for it. simon? this seems like a silly question, but how do you revise? i know a lot of the timea do you revise? i know a lot of the time a teacher will tell you revise foran time a teacher will tell you revise for an hour. that's not really helpful. what do you actually do to helpful. what do you actually do to help everything sink in? well, no one actually tells us how to revise. you need to tailor your revision to your personal needs. i would use music. i would your personal needs. i would use music. iwould make your personal needs. i would use music. i would make a song up about revision if it was maths or german and... do you remember any? i can't sing it now. you so can! ? no. and yeah, using post it notes, stick it around on your wardrobe and mirror and you're revisiting these areas every day. i find that some subjects lend themselves to certain techniques, history and english, i found working with mind maps is really great. what's a mind map? it is when you have say for example a question in the middle and you brain storm around it so you might argue what points you're going to consider and how you can expand on the question linking your ideas together andl question linking your ideas together and i thought that was a really great way to revise those subjects. at what point during the xram period do you think was the most stress was put upon you? the day before the exams? in the revision, not knowing that you should revise, but that you are a' not and how did you combat that? i put off revision quite a bit with subjects i didn't like such as maths and i kind of left all my revision to last minute and i guess i was really stressed because i had so i was really stressed because i had so many subjects to revise and not enough time to revise them in. i did the exam and i didn't do so well the first time around, but having learnt from my mistakes and learning to put me revision in a good time schedule, i retook the exam and i did well. do you think there was a time during revision where you spent more time worrying about the grade and the exa m worrying about the grade and the exam and the stress that the exam might cause rather than revising? absolutely. i felt more stressed during my revision preparation than idid on during my revision preparation than i did on the exams itself. for me, it culminated in what's called a burn—out where all i was doing was considering my exams, i was working so considering my exams, i was working so hard and endlessly to get good results that i burnt out. i compromised my health which is not a good thing. when you say burnt out, what do you mean? i was fatigued and cut off, exhausted. i have seen friends that have a mental burn—out as well where they are under so much stress and they feel unmotivated and lack concentration and that will affect your exam performance. can i ask you about, we have been talking today exclusive figures showing that 80% of those who have to resit a maths or english gcse will fail. what do you think of that policy of forcing people teenagers? for me, it was upsetting. english was a subject i thought i did quite well in and when i looked at the exam paper it was telling me something else. so having to be forced to resit maths and english, iwas having to be forced to resit maths and english, i was quite embarrassed and english, i was quite embarrassed andi and english, i was quite embarrassed and i shndant have been because i knew i had the potential, but this one exam was telling me something else. ok. really so sensible. thank you for your advice. thank you for coming on the programme. i really appreciate it. and obviously, loads and loads of luck. don't spend hours working out the revision timetable which is what i did as a diversionary tactic. thank you for your company today. we are back tomorrow at 9am. bbc newsroom live is next with joanna. tomorrow at 9am. bbc newsroom live is next withjoanna. have a good day. it looks like it is going to be an improving picture across southern areas. for many of us improving picture across southern areas. for many of us across improving picture across southern areas. for many of us across the country, it will an afternoon of sunny spells and scattered showers. some areas staying dry. those areas will be north—west england and wales. turning brighter across the south—west. we lose the rain. staying breezy. showers across eastern parts of the country and increasing chance across northern ireland. a little bit of wintriness across the higher ground, but in the sunshine, we are looking at nine to 11 celsius. the showers continue on for a while this evening for the first part tonight and they continue across northern scotland. elsewhere, the showers begin to fade away thanks to a ridge of high pressure with light winds and clear skies and it will be a cold night with frost around. tuesday starts off chilly, bright and plenty of sunshine. the next weather system pushing in will bring strengthening winds and not reaching eastern parts until after dark. this is bbc news, and these are the top stories developing at 11. the head of britain's biggest union calls on the government to protect jobs at vauxhall‘s uk plants as its takeover by french company psa is announced. i am asking our government to make certain that they are at the table, because the french and german governments will be. batting for our british plants and making certain that peugeot are committed to us. the former french prime minister alain juppe has announced that he will not stand in next month's presidential election. britain's most senior counter—terrorism officer says 13 potential attacks have been prevented in the past four years.
