It comes after weeks of violent protests in which more than 70 people have died. And. President trump is heading to paris for bastille Day Celebrations saying hes ready to reaffirm the Us Friendship with france. Welcome to the programme, i am Christian Fraser in london, katty kay is in washington. The Hillsborough Disaster is the worst tragedy english football has ever seen. In april 1989, as an fa cup semi final kicked off between liverpool and nottingham forest, a crush at one end of the stadium, led to 96 deaths. For 28 years the families have fought for justice. Last year the Hillsborough Inquest ruled the fans were unlawfully killed. But what the families still dont have is accountability. Who was really to blame . Today having reviewed thousands of documents from two seperate inquiries, the Crown Prosecution Service announced it will be prosecuting six people in connection with the disaster. Our Correspondentjudith Moritz has the story. Theyve had inquiries, investigations and inquests, but the Hillsborough Families have never had public prosecutions. Theyve fought for nearly 30 years for this moment. Im absolutely delighted. Weve got today everything we couldve asked for. The decisions by the cps in my opinion were correct, or are correct. And we look forward to the due process through the courts of law. In 1989 the Police Officer in charge At Hillsborough was David Duckenfield. He will now face prosecution. There is sufficient evidence to charge former Chief SuperintendentDavid Duckenfield with the manslaughter by Gross Negligence of 95 men, women and children. The match commander ordered the opening of an exit gate, through which the fans poured onto overcrowded terraces. He is charged with the manslaughter of all but one of the victims. Tony bland died four years later, too late to be included in the charges. In the years after hillsborough, sir Norman Bettison rose through the ranks to become Chief Constable of merseyside and later west yorkshire. He is charged with misconduct in a public office, accused of lying about the fans being to blame. He said he is disappointed to be charged, and will vigorously defend his innocence. Andrew brookes was one of those killed At Hillsborough. He was 26. His sister louise has long campaigned for justice, and was in warrington today to hear that charges will be brought. Its another event where my parents havent been alive to see it or to hear it, and its notjust my parents its other Hillsborough Families who have gone to their graves never seeing today. The families were told that 23 suspects were originally considered for prosecution. In the event, six will face trial. Graham mackrell was the Sheffield WednesdayCompany Secretary responsible for safety, he is accused of failing to carry out his duties. Peter metcalf was the Solicitor Acting for South Yorkshire police. He is charged with Perverting The Course Of Justice in relation to amendments made to police statements. At home today, he would not answer questions. No comment. Former Chief Superintendent donald denton, in the middle here, is also charged with Perverting The Course Of Justice, said to have overseen the process of altering the statements. Former detective chief inspector alan foster faces the same charge, accused of being central to the process of changing statements. Nobody from the Ambulance Service is being prosecuted, and no organisation will face corporate charges over hillsborough, which has disappointed some. A mixed bag. A couple of names that we didnt expect, and a few that we think have been omitted. There will be six people facing criminal charges who might not have done if we hadnt have been resilient and all stuck together and fought this long fight. Professor phil scraton has spent years working to expose what happened At Hillsborough, and says the passage of time must have had an effect on the number of charges. If wed had the kind of investigation then that we have had now, and the kind of attention paid to the detail of prosecutable charges then as we have now, i think we would see a lot more prosecutions. The youngest to die At Hillsborough was just ten years old. The oldest was a pensioner. They were all unlawfully killed. There have long been calls for justice. Now, nearly 30 years after they died, those said to be responsible will face trial, and the prospect ofjail. Judith moritz, bbc news, warrington. Were joined now by the bbcs Legal Correspondent clive coleman. It isa it is a hugely significant day for the families, 28 years since the tragedy. And the first time the state has brought criminal charges. That may confuse some people because of course there has been an inquest with the jury and that reached a finding that the 96 fans were unlawfully killed. But an inquest is not a criminal trial. It does not apportion guilt, does not apportion responsibility. The thing but both have a legal effect is if you get a finding of Unlawful Killing, that is when the Criminaljustice System Kicks in. And there is not an absolute obligation but a very high expectation that if you have that finding of Unlawful Killing than the police will investigate and the cps will consider criminal charges and thatis will consider criminal charges and that is what has happened here. So as you say for the first time in 28 yea rs as you say for the first time in 28 years were going to have prosecutions through the criminal courts and we will know at the end of those that will determine whether any one individual should bear responsibility, criminal responsibility, criminal responsibility for what happened on the day. The focus has been on Chief SuperintendentDavid Duckenfield, manslaughter by Gross Negligence. That is known as a common law offence, a judge created defence and what it means is the prosecution must prove David Duckenfield 0 the sa nta must prove David Duckenfield 0 the santa died a duty of care, bezy bridge that duty of care so badly that effectively he committed a criminal act. So bad mistake is not enough, the conduct must be so serious that the jury concluded he committed a criminal act. That places the bar pretty high and it has been a difficult offence in the past to prosecute. It has been 28 yea rs, past to prosecute. It has been 28 years, how much easier with the trial have been if it had happened closer to the tragedy, are we now rely on memories that could be faulty . Theres a huge amount of Documentary Evidence and that is in the hands of the authorities. Of course there will also be testimony from people who were there no doubt, who will have to give evidence about what took place on that fateful day 28 years ago. That is always difficult and challenging and will test human memory. Of course we have been prosecuted in this country very many historic sexual abuse crimes, some extending back way beyond 28 yea rs. Some extending back way beyond 28 years. And some have been successfully prosecuted. So in general terms the time lag of 28 yea rs general terms the time lag of 28 years is no general terms the time lag of 28 years is no reason general terms the time lag of 28 years is no reason why a successful prosecution cannot be brought. But memories will indeed be tested. Clive coleman speaking earlier. America spends more on health care than any other industrialised country but it regularly ranks lower than other countries in the quality of its care. Try fixing this problem however and you end up in a whole heap of political trouble. Thats what President Trump has just discovered. Hes staked much of his Political Capital on replacing obamacare but so far he cant do it. The republican leader of the senate has had to pull a vote on the issue this week largely because the partys new plan is so unpopular. Last night President Trump summoned all 52 republican senators to the white house to persuade them to vote for the bill. Today he says his reforms will pass. This will be something really special if we can get it done. Always tough probably the toughest subject from the standpoint of approval cos every state is different every state has different needs. We have a tremendous Opiod Problem and some states are more affected by that than others but overall i have to tell you this will be a tremendous plan. It will really have a lot of very very happy people if we can get it done. So we are working very hard on healthcare and i think we are going to have a great answer and hopefully we are going to have it soon. Joining us now is matt schlapp, chair of the american conservative union. Republicans cannot do Something Like changing American Health care despite having the house and senate. In the senate takes the supermajority of 60 votes but on the legislation that using theyjust 50. So. It is put up or shut up time. We ran against obamacare and said it is destroying American Health care. We said we had Good Solutions and it is time for republicans to explain those, debate and passed them, time for action. The president also said in the campaign that because he was such a good negotiator at this was going to be pretty simple, he was going to be pretty simple, he was going to be able to fix it even though others have not managed to. Well were making too much of the delayed vote, the same thing happened twice in the house. The delayed vote i think is good for the bill, it will make it better. As they make changes. I predict it will get past this month. The republican senators, coming up to thejuly the 4th weekend, theyre going to go home and hear from their constituents and i think this bill has Something Like a i2 approval rating. It is hard to come up with a bill but only i2 of americans support. Theyre not going to have a holiday. Well the American People actually in four elections, obamacare actually in four elections, 0bamaca re was the actually in four elections, obamacare was the number one issue and Infour Obamacare was the number one issue and in four elections the American People said we do not like it. And in four elections the American People said we do not like itm and in four elections the American People said we do not like it. It is now more popular and in what the republicans are proposing. When you get into the details are hard decisions to make and when you get to the details it is not so popular but these constituents, when the senators get home they will demand that they hold to the campaign promise, show us your version of health care reform. We having debate also in the uk about austerity and it seems you have similar problem there. One of the problems we have here, some people want to bring down the deficit, others like Susan Collins are more to the centre and theyre saying look at all these people that will be pulled off medicaid. And the problem is you have competing interests within the same party. Welll have competing interests within the same party. Well i loved have competing interests within the same party. Welll loved that have competing interests within the same party. Well i loved that in the uk they can use the word is dirty. Politicians here are scared of that word. They talk about how everyone will benefit and what republicans tend to talk about is giving people choices and options. So here we have this Medicaid Programme and obamacare this Medicaid Programme and 0bamaca re pushed this Medicaid Programme and obamacare pushed millions on to medicaid. The problem with that it is health care for poor people and unpopular. Republicans want to get people back off medicaid and into the private Health Insurance market. That is what the debate is, how do you prop these individual private markets are up again and what is the process by which we give people more choice. So if premiums do not come down poor people cannot afford insurance. Exactly right, what happened with 0bamaca re insurance. Exactly right, what happened with obamacare is premiums went up so dramatically that you had american saying in spite of subsidies i cannot afford it and they are working away from it. Walking away. Thank you very much for coming in. It is important for donald trump politically that he manages to do that. Some of the states that have given the most support to President Trump have also been places that have the most people enrolled in 0bamacare. In the state of kentucky more than 420,000 people have been insured through the expansion of the programme for the poor called medicaid. From there laura bicker reports. This is what donald trump described as forgotten america. Eastern kentucky used to be coal country. Its not any more. It is now blighted by ill health and an opioid crisis. Lets take a look at things. How is the breathing . Clinics are seeing far higher rates of cancer, diabetes and Heart Disease than the rest of the us. And years of working at the coal face have taken its toll on some. Were talking about a lung transplant. They gave me an option to do the transplant, said it would be five years. Claude has black lung disease. He has to fight to breathe. I worked underground for 27 years. My lung just shut down. When the mines shut, he lost his job and his Health Insurance. But his treatment is free due to 0bamaca re reforms. Lets see if we can get you in this week. Doctor reading was voted Country Doctor of the year. Half his patients receive government funded medicaid. He warns about making this debate political, and has advice for both sides. Other countries have done it. They set the groundwork for us. We will not be a pioneer, but we can take what they have done and use it and build it to make it the best programme in the world. That is why the United States is as strong as it is, we have always taken things and make them better. Why cant we take health care and make it better instead of fighting over it . But some fear that the donald trump this county voted for may cut care. He not thinking about little people, i dont know what hes thinking. He did promise he would not take away medicaid, and here we are. Yeah, he promised a lot. And he went back on it. Promised a lot to get into office, that is what he promised. So many people here have told us that obamacare has saved their lives. But it does come at a cost. Hard working middle income families say their insurance premiums have risen, and theyre struggling. They ask why should they be paying, why should they be suffering, to help others. And that question is raised more often as opioid abuse here has become an epidemic. Few households have gone untouched. I wanted to use it to come off everything. Courtney is four months pregnant, she has been given medication to slowly wean her off opioids. Her first son was born dependent on drugs. This time she is determined to get the help she needs. I will always have that fear of getting back on drugs. But im excited, more excited than nervous, because i cannot wait to just be back normal. That probably sounds crazy to say, but i just cant wait to have my life back together, you know. And be able to focus on other things other than getting that feeling every day. Doctors say this kind of intervention will save money in the long run. And save what is becoming a lost generation. This community is finding ways to look after its own, after enduring so many changes. They are hoping washington is listening and will not turn its back on them now. I would love to play like that lets just talk about the polls because i saw a poll today, deeply unpopular this senate bill. I2 i think in favour. And these people as you said, these senators all going back to their home towns and cities over this next few days and theyre going to get it in the year. Yes in the end this is about people and patients and people families and the person who has a child that has asthma and someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer. It is easy for politicians to sit in washington and fight between republicans and democrats but theyre about to go home and well hear from people with real issues, will ride to saying this is the most powerful country in the world and why can we not fix something as basic a
