i'm so glad we got to spend those seven days with him and see him. there was nearly another "very significant" moment it means he was a real, at the australian open today, with the six time champion roger living human being for those seven days and that federer surviving a huge scare as he fought back from the brink means everything to us. to beat the unseeded john millman tom and sarah should in a deciding set tie—break. have their toddler son buzzing around them patrick geary reports: on their seaside walk. but a catalogue of maternity failures robbed the young couple very few people get warm welcomes when playing australians in australia. of harry within days of his birth. roger federer is one of them. if harry had brain damage similar he and melbourne had a global icon to what he had when he died against their own local curio, and he was under my care during those seven days, i would be held accountable for that. but nobody has at the hospital. it all went wrong on this maternity unit over a two—hour period one november night. first, a locum doctor, described as out of his depth, delayed delivering the baby. the coroner said he should never have been in charge that evening. he never had his cv checked by a consultant, as was the process. it doesn't feel like a very safe culture or a safe environment, if that's the case. harry was born pale and floppy, but he would have survived and been healthy if a paediatrician hadn't failed for 28 minutes to properly resuscitate him. everyone in theatre was panicking. the anaesthetist came up to me and said to me, "i'm going to put you under general anaesthetic," and i was glad that he was going to do that because i didn't want to be in that room any more. i've had to live with that for a long time because it meant that tom had to leave the room having seen harry being resuscitated because it was not a nice atmosphere to be in and it was panicked. it didn't feel like anybody was really in control. gravely ill, harry was transferred to a nearby intensive care unit, but he never recovered, and his parents were advised to turn off his life—support system. it was the worst week in our life in some respects, because you don't want to make that decision for your baby, but at the same time, you don't want your baby to grow up not having a good quality of life. east kent hospitals trust today apologised for the care it provided. they didn't address, however, why they'd initially recorded harry's death as "expected" and had refused for months to tell the coroner of his case. both decisions would have meant they faced less scrutiny over the care they had provided. but they didn't account for the determination of harry's family to get to the truth. now personally vindicated, their focus today was to ensure other families don't suffer as they have. we don't want this to be like all of the prior cases which we heard about yesterday when the news broke. there were a number of cases which the bbc investigated and they found out all of those cases, had they learned from those cases, we wouldn't be stood here today because harry would still be alive and well. that was tom richford ending that report there. michael is with me now. compare this trust to others in england. should mothers expecting to give birth there be worried? the first thing to say is that for the vast majority, the overwhelming majority of women in this country, labour and giving birth is a safe and healthy experience and they walk out of the hospital with a child they were expecting, if indeed they go to hospital in the first place. there are lots of initiatives under way at the moment to try to improve maternity outcomes in the uk. the reason for that, however, maternity outcomes in the uk. the reason forthat, however, is maternity outcomes in the uk. the reason for that, however, is because we are not as good as many of our european neighbours. we have heard about failures at places like morecambe bay, shrewsbury and telford. there is undoubtedly a problem at east kent, there is national data on death rates, both stillbirths and neonatal births, that indicate this trust is higher than similar trusts across the uk. as we reported last night, there has been at least seven preventable deaths there since 2016. the care quality commission went in this week foran quality commission went in this week for an unannounced inspection because they had concerns about ongoing maternity services. they have also started a criminal investigation into the care that the trust provided in harry's case. what the trust are saying is that if there is a pregnant woman in that area that has any concerns, they should contact their midwife. michael, many thanks. there have been two confirmed cases of coronovirus in france this evening, the first to be identified in europe. in the uk, authorities are trying to trace 2,000 people who have flown from wuhan in china, where the virus orginated, into the uk in the past fortnight. the chief medical officer says that 1a people who've already been tested in the uk for the illness have been given the all—clear. in china, travel restrictions have been widened as the death toll climbed to 26, and hundreds more were infected. here's our medical correspondent fergus walsh. ten days from now on this waste ground in wuhan will be a brand—new hospital. the extraordinary pace of building, a sign of how seriously china is taking the threat from the new coronavirus. the prefabricated building will have 1,000 beds. it is urgently needed because hospitals in wuhan are overwhelmed with potential cases. the symptoms include cough, fever and breathing problems. a dozen cities have now been quarantined, affecting more than 30 million people. as you see, nobody here, the hotel is absolutely empty. this should be the busiest time of year for travel and for hotels, but this one in wuhan is deserted. in downing street, borisjohnson hosted a reception to mark chinese new year. the government's emergency cobra committee also met to discuss the risk to the uk, which is considered low. we think that there's a fair chance we may get some cases over time. of course, this depends on whether this continues for a long time, but i think we should definitely see this as a marathon, not a sprint. there are still some key unknowns about this virus. how contagious is it? early case reports from china suggest people with no symptoms may be able to spread the virus. how deadly is it? so far, around one in four confirmed cases is severe. and most of those recover. it seems less deadly than sars, which killed nearly 800 people worldwide. and what is the source? we're confident the virus jumped from animals to humans, but until the source is pinpointed, perhaps bats or snakes, there is a risk of completely new infections. this is the first image of the coronavirus. work is already under way to develop a vaccine. we can, potentially, move from years to up to 16 weeks to get a vaccine developed and for very early clinical testing, as long as all goes well. for now, the world can only wait and see what impact china's control measures will have on the spread of this virus. fergus walsh, bbc news. joseph mccann, one of the country's most dangerous sex offenders, was jailed last month for at least 30 years for kidnapping and raping women and children last summer. after he was caught, it emerged that he should have still been in prison for previous violent offences. now, the first of his victims to speak publicly has told the bbc that she's never received an official apology, and that senior figures should be held to account for probation failings. she's been speaking to our home affairs correspondentjune kelly. held captive in this car is the first of the womenjoseph mccann kidnapped and raped. in the fortnight that followed, he targeted another ten victims. the youngest, a boy of 11. the eldest, a woman of 71, who has now spoken to us. he said, "i've got a knife, i've killed somebody this morning." like all rape victims, she has anonymity. but in this first interview by any of mccann's victims, she describes how he abducted her as she got into her car. i shouted, "get out of my car!" and he punched me in the face. and he said, "i'm sorry, i'm sorry. it's because you shouted at me. i wouldn't want to do that. i've got a grandma." mccann was already wanted for attacks in watford, london and lancashire when he turned up at this supermarket in greater manchester, hunting for his next victim. and it was in the car park that he punched and abducted the grandmother. he forced her to drive onto the motorway. she was kept prisoner in her own carforfour and a half hours. mccann stopped the car and raped her. he also kidnapped a 13—year—old girl off the street, forced her into the car with them and sexually assaulted her. the older victim took her chance when mccann fell asleep. she pulled off into a service station. i was working out all the time while we were driving, how am i going to get out of this situation? and i knew i would not outrun him and i knew i had to get to where there would be a lot of people. so i drove right up to a group of people, just got out and ran towards them and said, "abducted" and whatever. the little girl got out as well. and he ran after me and wrenched the keys out of my hand and drove off in the car. joseph mccann was eventually found hours later, hiding up a tree. it emerged that at the time he was roaming around the country raping women and children, he should have been in prison. a man with a history of violence, he had been wrongly released. joseph mccann's case represents a catastrophic failure by the criminaljustice system. but this victim says there's one thing she hasn't received. have you ever had an apology? i've not had an apology. it would have been nice to have had something a bit more personal, i think. for somebody to come and see you? see me or a letter or something, you know? just something that recognises the victims, really, isuppose, yeah. hello! following mccann's mistaken release, two probation staff were sacked, one demoted. but all those who suffered at the hands of mccann have paid the price for a system in crisis, according to this victim. it's always the front line workers that get disciplined and that probation office was understaffed, had low morale and that was because of the changes that had been brought in by grayling. that's chris grayling ? chris grayling, who privatised part of the probation service. and i think people that made those decisions at high levels should be brought to account. in response, chris grayling, the formerjustice secretary, who was responsible for the part privatisation, stressed that mccann was under the supervision of the national probation service, which remained in the public sector and wasn't part of any privatisation programme. and he said the problems in this case were down to the operational failure of a small number of staff. and when it comes to the lack of an apology, the ministry ofjustice says it recently began making contact with the victims. i'm doing this interview because i know a lot of the other victims are not in any state to do it. fortunately, i am. i'm older. i've had a good life and i'm not letting it ruin my life. they're all young women and children. they've got that for the rest of their lives. 0ne ofjoseph mccann's victims ending that report by our home affairs correspondentjune kelly. more than 200 private patients of an orthopaedic surgeon have been contacted over concerns about operations he performed. spire healthcare said it had alerted 217 people whose shoulder operations were carried out by orthopaedic consultant habib rahman. 0ur health editor hugh pym is with me. what more can you tell us about this? this relates to habib rahman's work at spire parkway hospital in solihull. it's not clear how the concerns first came to light. a lawyer says she was contacted by a small number of patients alleging unnecessary and inappropriate shoulder surgery. spire suspended him, in the light of that his right to practice at the hospital was withdrawn last year. he is doing some work for the nhs with restrictions. spire contacted the 217 patients offering them an independent review. coincidentally it's the same hospital where ian paterson worked, he was convicted of wounding patients because of unnecessary breast surgery under review is going to be published on lessons learned after the ian paterson saga. lessons learned about the accountability, oversight and scrutiny of surgeons across all private hospitals. thank you. boris johnson has signed the withdrawal agreement sealing britain's departure from the european union. the prime minister called it a fantastic moment, and said it brought to an end "far too many years of argument and division." the uk is due to leave the european union at 11pm on the 31st january. britain's biggest trade union, unite, has backed rebecca long—bailey in the labour leadership contest. the shadow business secretary now needs just one more union or group to endorse her to reach the final stage of the race to replace jeremy corbyn. sir keir starmer and lisa nandy are already through. survivors and bereaved families from the grenfell tower fire say they may oppose the opening of the second phase of the public inquiry into the tragedy, which is due start next week. they dispute the appointment of an engineer, benita mehra, whom they claim has a conflict of interest, as a charity she ran received a donation from a us metals company which produced the cladding on the tower. the government says it's listened to their concerns and may respond over the weekend. the foreign secretary dominic raab has described america's refusal to extradite a woman charged with causing a british teenager's death as "a denial ofjustice". harry dunn died after his motorbike collided with a car being driven on the wrong side of the road by anne sacoolas in northamptonshire last august. duncan kennedy's report contains some flash photography. it was last august harry dunn died here and today, the scene was still framed by the caring tributes of those who loved him. anne sacoolas, pictured on her wedding day, is the american woman who's been charged with causing harry's death by dangerous driving. she had left this nearby american intelligence base moments before the collision, but two weeks later, left britain, claiming diplomatic immunity. now the united states has refused to send her back, something harry's mum says is difficult to accept. itjust gives us more determination to carry on. it's just another hurdle. we've come across lots of them since the 11th of october and it's just another one that we will get over, eventually. this is just a setback, not the end? absolutely. the decision to block the extradition of anne sacoolas was taken by mike pompeo, the american secretary of state, who insisted mrs sacoolas was covered by diplomatic immunity at the time of the accident. it's now nearly five months since harry died here and his parents had been expecting that it would be for the american courts to decide whether to extradite anne sacoolas. now that the american government has stepped in, they do see that as a setback, but say their fight will go on. tonight, the dunns' local mp, the business secretary andrea leadsom, said the family had the full support of borisjohnson in theircampaign. the prime minister is very much on the side of the family in their desire to see justice done for harry and all of us in government are working towards that end. harry's family say they have had to set aside their grieving to pursue this cause and insist they won't be silenced. duncan kennedy, bbc news. at least six people have died in a powerful earthquake in eastern turkey. the magnitude 6.8 tremor also damaged buildings, and was felt in neighbouring countries. turkish aid agencies have sent teams to the affected area. the prince of wales has called for "unity and tolerance" among different faiths on his first formal visit to the occupied palestinian territories. during a speech in bethlehem, prince charles said he would pray for "a just and lasting peace" in the middle east. he has also held talks with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. 0ur royal correspondent jonny dymond has this report. a palestinian welcome for the prince. this is the first time he's set foot in the occupied palestinian territories. a diplomatically delicate day started at the only mosque in bethlehem's old city. "charles," he wrote, in english, then in arabic. after the mosque will come the church of the nativity, and it's the proximity of the two that brings charles here, part of his decades long effort to bring faiths together. inside the church, a chance to hear first—hand the struggles of christians in the middle east. we are doing our best to survive, to fight against every difficulty of this situation. more greetings, more meetings. the prince and the palestinian president talked for 45 minutes. and he spoke directly to the situation of the palestinians under israeli occupation. it is my dearest wish that the future will bring freedom, justice and equality to all palestinians, enabling you to thrive and to prosper. and on this first official visit to the region, a personal moment. a visit to his grandmother's grave. princess alice asked to be buried on the mount of 0lives, overlooking the holy city. and today, prince charles paid his respects. jonny dymond, bbc news, jerusalem. thousands of people have been marching in the streets of baghdad — demanding that all us troops be expelled from iraq. tensions have been heightened by the american military‘s assassination of the iranian general, qasem soleimani in the city earlier this month. one of iraq's most powerful and influential shia clerics — muqtada al—sadr — had called for a million people to join today's march, close to the us embassy. the marchers chanted anti—us slogans, and some carried effigies of president trump. around 5,000 us soldiers are in the country as part of the international coalition against the islamic state group. huge swarms of desert locusts are posing an alarming and unprecedented threat to crops in east africa, says the united nations. high rainfall at the end of last year created ideal conditions for the insects to spread after crossing the red sea from yemen — with ethiopia, kenya and somalia struggling with the impact. 0ur senior africa correspondent anne soy reports from kenya. from a distance, it looks like northern kenya is burning, but these are swarms of desert locusts, spreading like wildfire across the horn of africa. just one swarm can have more than 200 million insects. these are tiny creatures flying above me. they look harmless, but if you consider that hundreds of millions of them are flying at the same time, the amount of destruction they can cause is unimaginable. ali bila waqo tells me this is the second invasion of locusts he's witnessed in about 60 years. this time, he's lost nearly all his maize and bean crops. translation: it's painful. we had no rain for several years. when it did finally rain last year, we were so happy, but then these insects have come and destroyed our crop. we've incurred huge losses. he says he brought dozens of people here to help ward off the invasion. elsewhere, gunshots, tear gas and whistles. people and governments across the region are desperate to save plants from being devoured. which way are they moving in? they're moving this way. yeah? conservation groups are helping track the movement of the swarms. the kenyan and ethiopian governments are using aerial spraying to try and kill the insects, but with little success. a region devastated by years of drought seemed to have recovered when it received unusually heavy rains, but that has now brought this misery, leaving communities on the edge. anne soy, bbc news, moyale. the former deputy first minister of northern ireland, seamus mallon, has died at the age of 83. he was one of the most influential figures in the peace process — and the first person to be deputy first minister in the power—sharing devolved government set up after the good friday agreement. ben stokes says he "sincerely apologises" after an argument with a spectator was filmed and aired during england's test match in south africa today. stokes admits he was unprofessional. but england say repeated abuse was aimed at their team — and they've asked for security to be improved at the ground injohannesburg. joe wilson reports on an eventful first day of the fourth test match. things seemed serene for england injohannesburg — for a while. they got past 100, in fact, without losing a wicket. then the collapse. when batsmen fall like this, the situation so often calls for ben stokes. however, on this occasion he was out for just two. gone. naturally he would be disappointed, but after these pictures the television coverage next showed him aggressively addressing someone in the crowd. we've bleeped out the worst of the language. come and say it to me outside the ground, you bleep four-eyed bleep. now, that footage inevitably sped through social media, as the sports personality of the year sat on the dressing room balcony. stokes knows how attention follows him. he also knows the behaviour expected of him. well, england closed the day 192—4. joe root and ollie pope survived. there's nowhere to hide in a test match and the cameras capture every emotion, as ben stokes is aware, and you can see him with the fans at the close of play here — different interaction, all part of the same man. joe wilson, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. bye— bye. a very good evening to you. i'm sonja jessup. for the first time, live facial recognition cameras could be coming to a street near you. but will they help keep us safe from crime, or are they a threat to our privacy? the met says it will use them for specific targets — 00:27:12,647 --> 2147483051:50:21,039 people wanted for serious 2147483051:50:21,039 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and violent crimes.

an official apology. i'm doing this interview because i know a lot of the other victims are not in any state to do it — fortunately, i am. i am older, i have had a good life and i'm not letting it ruin my life. at least 1a people have been killed and hundreds injured in a powerful earthquake in eastern turkey. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers — writer and broadcaster mihir bose, and ruth lea economic adviser for arbuthnot banking. good evening. tonight, the first cases of the coronavirus are found in europe with three people infected in france. the health minister there warns there are likely to be more people with the disease. here, the authorites are trying to trace 2000 people who have flown from wuhan in china into the uk in the past fortnight. in china, travel restrictions have been widened after the death toll climbed to 26 and hundreds more were revealed to have been infected. people are being stopped from leaving the city of wuhan, the centre of the outbreak, and there are severe travel restrictions in several other cities. but cases of the virus have already been reported in neighbouring countries including japan, vietnam, thailand, south korea and singapore, as well as the united states. this report from our medical correspondent fergus walsh. ten days from now, on this waste ground in wuhan will be a brand—new hospital. the extraordinary pace of building — a sign of how seriously china is taking the threat from the new coronavirus. the prefabricated building will have 1000 beds. it is urgently needed because hospitals in wuhan are overwhelmed with potential cases. the symptoms include cough, fever and breathing problems. a dozen cities have now been quarantined, affecting more than 30 million people. as you see, nobody here, it is absolutely empty. this should be the busiest time of year for travel and for hotels, but this one in wuhan is deserted. in downing street, borisjohnson hosted a reception to mark chinese new year. the government's emergency cobra committee also met to discuss the risk to the uk, which is considered low. we think that there's a fair chance we may get some cases over time. of course, this depends on whether this continues for a long time, but i think we should definitely see this as a marathon, not a sprint. there are still some key unknowns about this virus. how contagious is it? early case reports from china suggest people with no symptoms may be able to spread the virus. how deadly is it? so far, around one in four confirmed cases is severe, and most of those recover. it seems less deadly than sars, which killed nearly 800 people worldwide. and what is the source? we're confident the virus jumped from animals to humans, but until the source is pinpointed — perhaps bats or snakes — there is a risk of completely new infections. this is the first image of the coronavirus. work is already under way to develop a vaccine. we can, potentially, move from years to up to 16 weeks to get a vaccine developed and for very early clinical testing, as long as all goes well. for now, the world can only wait and see what impact china's control measures will have on the spread of this virus. fergus walsh, bbc news. let's cross to china now and get reaction there to events and talk to sophia yan, china correspondent for the telegraph in beijing. good to have view with us. i wonder if you can give us a sense of how things are playing out? there is almost two conflicting reports. 0n the one hand hearing praise from the fast—moving response from the chinese authorities and on the other, newspapers with news trickling through of hospitals being under pressure and people not getting the support they need? the world health organization have commended beijing... they are comparing it to sars but that was 20 yea rs comparing it to sars but that was 20 years ago and then the government was covering up. they are straining to support a population of 1.4 billion. in wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak... people are being turned away because there aren't enough patient budgets. we are having trouble with your line. let's see if we can make an improvement because we are missing some of what you are saying. josepjansa is the principal expert emergency preparedness and response for the european centre for disease prevention and control. he told me earlier that he expects there will be confirmed cases of coronavirus in europe over the coming days and weeks. it is quite likely, especially from what has already been said, this is a particular time in the year where lots of people, millions of people are travelling back and forth to china. therefore, the likelihood of some cases being seen in eu countries will be seen. in terms of what governments should be doing, we have seen in the uk, government meeting and contingency plans and what to do at airports, what is the right approach? i think there are measures that have already been taken and the preparedness, how much we prepare in terms of the measures to try to contain, as much as possible, the potential spread of the virus, hygienic measures, some screening in the airports and also avoiding some contact with individuals who are coughing or with respiratory diseases. i think those general measures make sense. as far as things are moving forward, the measures will be more specific also in parallel on the improvement in the knowledge of the ways of transmission and the likelihood of the virus to be transmitted from person to person, which is already there but we still don't know the intensity and the exact mechanism of transmission. and on that issue of trying to get greater knowledge of the virus, what is it that scientists will be trying with urgency to do now? they are working against the clock about the potential beginning of the outbreak, the measures, the origin and how the first cases were transmitted and then the first generation of cases and then the second generation. there are a lot of groups of scientists investigating that and i think that very soon we will start seeing their results, as some papers have already been published. and how important is cooperation and communication between countries at this stage? this is an essential point. it is not only the communication by itself, it is how do we communicate which kind of m essa 9 es we pass do we communicate which kind of messages we pass and how we manage the balance between normal preoccupation and the normal alarm between the populations, the politicians and the situation, and the real threat itself? it has to be the real threat itself? it has to be the right point, to pass the message that can help to prevent and to take the proper control and not to unnecessary alarm when we still don't know exactly what the impact of that epidemic. we are going to try to go back to the china correspondent for the telegraph who is in beijing. sorry to talk about the technical problems, you are starting to talk about the world health organization and their relationship to china? yes, there is a lot of communication between the world health 0rganization this week. medical experts expected the organisation to declare a crisis around the world. now this affects tens of millions of people in china and obviously the authorities have been trying to prevent further disease spread. they're trying to quarantine everybody at their home. in fact large—scale public gatherings have been cancelled. we are now in the chinese new year holiday period. a time when people across china are trying to celebrate with their families, hoping to have a great new year, it is the year of the raft. at this time around we have this big disease epidemic to be handling. so the authorities are trying to keep people at home and away from travel. but by the time that travel ban went into place, it was spread to many cities and people had already gone home for the holiday. how are people responding with the restrictions placed on them? they are worried, some people are cancelling their holiday dinners and people are wearing masks and lots of hand spray. but i talk to one woman who isa spray. but i talk to one woman who is a seafood vendor in wuhan and she sold fish at the market, which is the source of the outbreak and she is not worried at all. it depends on who you are speaking with. she is in her 40s and she is somebody, who, at this point doesn't think there is anything to be worried and she is right in the middle, the thick of things. in beijing, you are seeing taxi drivers and people on the street wearing face masks in hopes of defending themselves against this virus. we have been seeing pictures of huge numbers of diggers preparing to build a makeshift hospital in ten days, which will be used for quarantining people who are infected. quite an impressive feat of engineering and speed?m infected. quite an impressive feat of engineering and speed? it is, a lot of people saying it is only something china could do. it is an entire hospital being built with 1000 beds, within a week. this is meant to deal with this issue of capacity because now we have already seen cases capacity because now we have already seen cases patients, people who might be sick showing symptoms of fever and cough are being turned away from hospitals in wuhan. so the idea the authorities are trying to rally so quickly, they are trying to deal with the situation that has scaled up in a very fast and creative time. how much do you think has been learned from the sars epidemic? china is trying to give more information to the public. it is interesting, because there are certain disclosures they are making, trying to keep everybody updated. for beijing, the biggest challenge isa for beijing, the biggest challenge is a political one, for the leader. what they're trying to do make sure at home and abroad, they are giving the sense that china is doing everything they can and successfully containing this particular coronavirus. at least in china, in the early days and even now, people who have been complaining about not being able to receive treatment and have access to treatment when they think they are sick, these people are going online to complain and these complaints are being taken down so there is still a degree of censorship in china about the things people are allowed to say about a particular situation. because the party in charge, they are trying to manage public opinion and also have a better sense, at least on the outside, that they are successful in these efforts to contain the virus. really pleased we could get that line back up to you, sophia. thank you very much indeed. a coronor has ruled that the death of a baby boy a week after he was delivered at a hospital in kent was "wholly avoidable". harry richford died at the queen elizabeth the queen mother hospital in margate in 2017. the trust say they wholeheartedly apologise for the failings in harry's care. it comes after the bbc revealed yesterday that there have been at least seven preventable baby deaths at the east kent nhs trust. with more, here's our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan. a warning — his report contains flashing images. we didn't get to hold harry until the day that he died. i'm so glad we got to spend those seven days with him and see him. it means he was a real, living human being for those seven days and that means everything to us. tom and sarah should have their toddler son buzzing around them on their seaside walk. but a catalogue of maternity failures robbed the young couple of harry within days of his birth. if harry had brain damage similar to what he had when he died and he was under my care during those seven days, i would be held accountable for that. but nobody has at the hospital. it all went wrong on this maternity unit over a two—hour period one november night. first, a locum doctor, described as out of his depth, delayed delivering the baby. the coroner said he should never have been in charge that evening. he never had his cv checked by a consultant, as was the process. it doesn't feel like a very safe culture or a safe environment, if that's the case. harry was born pale and floppy, but he would have survived and been healthy if a paediatrician hadn't failed for 28 minutes to properly resuscitate him. everyone in theatre was panicking. the anaesthetist came up to me and said to me, "i'm going to put you under general anaesthetic," and i was glad that he was going to do that because i didn't want to be in that room any more. i've had to live with that for a long time because it meant that tom had to leave the room having seen harry being resuscitated because it was not a nice atmosphere to be in and it was panicked. it didn't feel like anybody was really in control. gravely ill, harry was transferred to a nearby intensive care unit, but he never recovered, and his parents were advised to turn off his life—support system. it was the worst week in our life in some respects, because you don't want to make that decision for your baby, but at the same time, you don't want your baby to grow up not having a good quality of life. east kent hospitals trust today apologised for the care it provided. they didn't address, however, why they'd initially recorded harry's death as "expected" and had refused for months to tell the coroner of his case. both decisions would have meant they faced less scrutiny over the care they had provided. but they didn't account for the determination of harry's family to get to the truth. now personally vindicated, their focus today was to ensure other families don't suffer as they have. we don't want this to be like all of the prior cases which we heard about yesterday when the news broke. there were a number of cases which the bbc investigated and they found out all of those cases, had they learned from those cases, we wouldn't be stood here today because harry would still be alive and well. a powerful earthquake has struck eastern turkey, killing at least 14 people and damaging buildings near the epicentre of the tremor. the quake shook the siv—riss district in the province of elayzig at a magnitude of 6.8. rescue efforts under way in the area and at least 30 people are believed to be trapped in the rubble. the quake occured in a remote region and was followed by dozens of after shocks. joseph mccann, one of the country's most dangerous sex offenders, was jailed last month for at least 30 years for kidnapping and raping women and children last summer. after he was caught, it emerged that he should have still been in prison for previous violent offences. now, the first of his victims to speak publicly has told the bbc that she's never received an official apology, and that senior figures should be held to account for probation failings. she's been speaking to our home affairs correspondent, june kelly. held captive in this car is the first of the women joseph mccann kidnapped and raped. in the fortnight that followed, he targeted another ten victims. the youngest, boy of 11. the eldest, a woman of 71 who has now spoken to us. he said, "i've got a knife. "i've killed somebody this morning". like all rape victims, she has anonymity, but in this first interview by any of mccann's victims, she describes how he abducted her as she got into her car. i shouted "get out of my car!", and he punched me in the face and he said "i'm sorry, i'm sorry", and he shouted at me, "i wouldn't want to do that, i've got a grandma." mccann was already wanted for attacks in watford, london in lancashire when he turned up at this supermarket in greater manchester, hunting for his next victim. and it was in the car park that he punched and abducted the grandmother. he forced her to drive onto the motorway. she was kept a prisoner in her own car for four and half hours. mccann stopped the car and raped her. he also kidnapped a 13—year—old girl off the street, forced her into the car with them and sexually assaulted her. the older victim took her chance when mccann fell asleep. she pulled off into a service station. i was working out all the time i was driving, how am i going to get out of this situation? and i knew i wouldn't outrun him, and i knew i had to get to where there would be a lot of people. so i drove right up to a group of people, just got out and ran towards them and said i've been abducted. the little girl got out as well, and he ran after me and wrenched the keys out of my hand and drove off in the car. joseph mccann was eventually found hours later, hiding up a tree. it emerged, that at the time he was roaming around the country raping women and children, he should've been in prison. a man with a history of violence, he had wrongly released. joseph mccann's case represents a catastrophic failure by the criminaljustice system. but this victim says there's one thing she hasn't received. have you ever had an apology? i've never had an apology. it would've been nice to have had something a bit more personal, i think. for somebody to come and see me or send a letter or something, just something that recognises the victims, really, i suppose, yeah. hello? following mccann's mistaken release, two probation staff were sacked, one demoted. but all those who suffered at the hands of mccann have paid the price for a system in crisis, according to this victim. it's always the front—line workers who get disciplined, and that probation office was understaffed, it had low morale, and that was because of the changes that have been brought in by grayling. that's chris grayling ? chris grayling. who brought... who privatised part of the probation service, and i think people who made those decisions at high levels should be brought to account. in response, chris grayling, the formerjustice secretary, who was responsible for the part privatisation stressed that mccann was under the supervision of the national probation service, which remained in the public sector, and wasn't part of any privatisation programme. he said the problems in this case were down to the operational failure of a small number of staff. when it comes to the lack of an apology, the ministry ofjustice says it recently began making contact with the victims. i'm doing this interview because i know a lot of the victims are not in any state to do it. fortunately, i am. i'm older. i've had a good life, and i'm not letting it ruin my life. they are all young women and children, they have got that for the rest of their lives. 0ne ofjoseph mccann's victims ending that report by our home affairs correspondentjune kelly. more than 200 private patients of an orthopaedic surgeon have been contacted over concerns about operations he performed. spire health care said it had alerted 217 people whose shoulder operations were carried out by orthopaedic consultant habib rahman. 0ur health editor hugh pym explained the timeline of events a little earlier. this relates to habib rahman's work at the spire health care hospital, parkway hospital in solihull. it's not clear how the concerns first came to light. a lawyer says she was contacted by a small number of patients alleging inappropriate and unnecessary shoulder surgery. spire moved quite quickly and suspended his right to practice while an independent review was carried out by the royal college of surgeons. in the light of that, his right to practice was withdrawn at the hospital last year. he is still doing some work for the nhs with restrictions. spire have contacted these 217 patients, offering them an independent review. now, coincidentally, it's the same hospital where ian paterson worked. he was convicted of wounding patients because of unnecessary breast surgery and, as it happens, a review in a couple of weeks' time will be published on lessons learned after the paterson saga. lessons learned about the accountability and oversight and scrutiny of surgeons across all private hospitals. boris johnson has signed the withdrawal agreement sealing britain's departure from the european union. the prime minister called it a fantastic moment, and said it brought to an end "far too many years of argument and division." the uk is due to leave the european union at 11pm on the 31st january. britain's biggest trade union, unite, has backed rebecca long bailey in the labour leadership contest. the shadow business secretary now needs just one more union or group to endorse her to reach the final stage of the race to replace jeremy corbyn. sir keir starmer and lisa nandy are already through. survivors and bereaved families from the grenfell tower fire say they may oppose the opening of the second phase of the public inquiry into the tragedy, which is due start next week. they dispute the appointment of an engineer, benita mehra, whom they claim has a conflict of interest, as a charity she ran received a donation from a us metals company which produced the cladding on the tower. the government says it's listened to their concerns and may respond over the weekend. the foreign secretary dominic raab has described america's refusal to extradite a woman charged with causing a british teenager's death as "a denial ofjustice". harry dunn died after his motorbike collided with a car being driven on the wrong side of the road by anne sacoolas in northamptonshire last august. duncan kennedy's report contains some flash photography. it was last august harry dunn died here and today, the scene was still framed by the caring tributes of those who loved him. anne sacoolas, pictured on her wedding day, is the american woman who's been charged with causing harry's death by dangerous driving. she had left this nearby american intelligence base moments before the collision, but two weeks later, left britain, claiming diplomatic immunity. now the united states has refused to send her back, something harry's mum says is difficult to accept. itjust gives us more determination to carry on. it's just another hurdle. we've come across lots of them since the 4th of october and it's just another one that we will get over, eventually. this is just a setback, not the end? absolutely. the decision to block the extradition of anne sacoolas was taken by mike pompeo, the american secretary of state, who insisted mrs sacoolas was covered by diplomatic immunity at the time of the accident. it's now nearly five months since harry died here and his parents had been expecting that it would be for the american courts to decide whether to extradite anne sacoolas. now that the american government has stepped in, they do see that as a setback, but say their fight will go on. tonight, the dunns' local mp, the business secretary andrea leadsom, said the family had the full support of borisjohnson in theircampaign. the prime minister is very much on the side of the family in their desire to see justice done for harry and all of us in government are working towards that end. harry's family say they have had to set aside their grieving to pursue this cause and insist they won't be silenced. duncan kennedy, bbc news. the former deputy first minister of northern ireland, seamus mallon, has died at the age of 83. he was one of the most influential figures in the peace process — and the first person to be deputy first minister in the power—sharing devolved government set up after the good friday agreement. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers mihir bose and ruth lea — that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for the weather with lucy martin. hello there. next week's weather will have a very different feel to the weekjust gone. the relatively quiet weather replaced with something more unsettled, and we see a transition to this as we move through this weekend. so, we take a look at the pressure chart as we start the weekend, high pressurejust holding on, but low pressure will start to take control. and this cold front will introduce some wet and windy weather as the weekend wears on. so, saturday does look fairly similar to what we've seen on friday. there's a lot of cloud around, some mist and hill fog. there will be some patchy rain and drizzle at times, perhaps a few brighter spells pushing north across england and wales, a predominantly cloudy day with the temperatures at a maximum of around 9—10d celcius. later in the day, we will see some more significant rain pushing into the far north and west. the breeze picking up here as well. and that's thanks to this cold front, which is going to bring about that change. it pushes its way southeast as we move into sunday. behind it, notice the blue colour here, a chillier air mass to come. here's how sunday starts then, outbreaks of rain in the west in heavy bursts, and they will gradually work east as we move through the day. behind that front, it will brighten up. northern ireland, western scotland seeing some sunshine coming through, also a few showers. showers could be wintry for parts of scotland, and it will be a blustery day across the board for with a south—south westerly wind. temperatures ahead of that cold front staying in the double figures, but it will turn cold air from the north and west. temperatures in glasgow sitting around 5—6d celsius. as we move into the start of next week then, that cold front clears towards the southeast. this feature could bring some issues though for rush hour first thing. so, something to bear in mind if you are planning to travel. for northern ireland, parts of scotland, parts of northern england, the potential for some snow first thing, and also some ice patches. tricky driving conditions. elsewhere, we are looking at a good deal of sunshine through the day and a splattering of showers mostly in the south and west. the temperatures across the north sitting at around 4—6d celsius, 7—10 further south. into tuesday, low pressure still in charge of our weather. so we're going to stick with that cooler shower shower theme. tuesday brings sunny spells, but also the chance of some showers, and those showers, again, could be wintry for parts of scotland and northern england and northern ireland. there will be some showers in the southwest, these showers here could merge to form longer spells of rain. it will be blustery in the southwest too.
