00:02:23and welcome to BBC News. We start start with a devastating report in
00:02:26in the UK looking at how Lucy Letby Letby was able to murder seven babies
00:02:29babies and attempt to murder others.
00:02:32others. It has found that there was was a complete failure to protect
00:02:35protect babies at the Countess of of Chester Hospital, and that lives
00:02:38lives would have been saved if action action was taken earlier. The chair
00:02:42chair of the inquiry has called for for urgent nationwide changes to
00:02:45to protect families and ensure NHS
00:02:47NHS staff can raise concerns of deliberate
00:02:50deliberate harm. Here's our correspondent correspondent Lauren Moss. The offences
00:02:54offences of murder and attempted attempted murder have been identified
00:02:57identified and you have been identified identified as a suspect for these
00:02:59these offences. Lucy Letby, seen. seen. Here on police body. Camera

00:03:05home on suspicion of murdering vulnerable
00:03:07vulnerable babies on a neonatal hospital
00:03:10hospital ward in 2015 and 2016. Is
00:03:11Is it a job that you enjoyed? I love
00:03:17love my job. She would go on to be be convicted of murdering seven babies
00:03:21babies and attempting to murder seven seven others, making her the UK's
00:03:25UK's most prolific child killer of of modern times. Now the findings
00:03:29findings of an inquiry led by a senior senior judge looking into how Letby
00:03:32Letby was able to harm those in her
00:03:35her care, has found huge failures failures in the NHS trust where she
00:03:39she worked and that babies may have
00:03:40have lived if senior managers had
00:03:43had acted sooner. The report describes describes dysfunctional management
00:03:46management and governance, a gulf gulf between hospital leadership
00:03:50leadership and clinicians, and failure
00:03:52failure to understand the fundamentals
00:03:56fundamentals of safeguarding. Errors Errors were made by nurses, doctors
00:03:59doctors and managers at the time
00:04:01time of these events. I've set these these out in the report and will
00:04:05will turn to this topic later. There
00:04:08There was also complete failure at
00:04:10at all levels to invoke safeguarding
00:04:13safeguarding procedures at any point.
00:04:15point. The inquiry has found there
00:04:17there was a complete failure to protect
00:04:20protect babies on the neonatal unit. unit. There was a failure to understand
00:04:24understand the fundamentals of safeguarding safeguarding and that parents of
00:04:27of the babies were kept in the dark dark for years over concerns that
00:04:31that their babies may have been deliberately
00:04:33deliberately harmed. It says the
00:04:35the NHS must take steps to prevent,
00:04:38prevent, detect and act when deliberate
00:04:40deliberate harm is suspected. The
00:04:43The inquiry hasn't reviewed Letby
00:04:45Letby convictions. Protesters campaigning
00:04:48campaigning about Libby's innocence innocence gathered outside Liverpool
00:04:51Liverpool town Hall ahead of the the inquiry's report. Her legal team
00:04:55team asked for the inquiry to be be paused while her case is looked
00:04:58looked at by the Criminal Cases Review Review Commission, but that was denied.
00:05:01denied. A group of medical experts experts have questioned the evidence.
00:05:04evidence. In summary, ladies and and gentlemen, we did not find any
00:05:08any murders. The inquiry found clinicians
00:05:11clinicians who raised concerns about about Letby were themselves made
00:05:14made the subject of investigation investigation and forced to apologise
00:05:17apologise to her. It also found lessons lessons from previous scandals, including
00:05:20including the Harold Shipman case,
00:05:22case, had not been learnt. Solicitors Solicitors representing some of the
00:05:26the families of the babies say the the inquiry, which started hearing
00:05:30hearing evidence two years ago, has has been traumatic. The legal reality
00:05:33reality is that Lucy Letby has been
00:05:35been convicted. We have these long,
00:05:37long, often long running and often
00:05:40often expensive inquiries and they're they're very important for learning
00:05:43learning lessons. But often the recommendations recommendations are never implemented
00:05:47implemented and it's a betrayal not not just of the people who've suffered
00:05:50suffered in these cases. Families Families like those I represent.
00:05:53represent. It's actually betrayal
00:05:55betrayal of the public. The inquiry
00:05:57inquiry makes 17 urgent recommendations. recommendations. Lady Justice Thirlwall
00:06:01Thirlwall says nothing like this
00:06:02this must ever be allowed to happen
00:06:05happen again. Well, the Health secretary, secretary, Yvette Cooper, says the
00:06:09the government is planning to put put live streaming monitors on cots
00:06:12cots in neonatal wards. In a statement statement in the Commons, she apologised
00:06:16apologised on behalf of the government government for the failures in safeguarding.
00:06:20safeguarding. So let me address the the issues for the families and for
00:06:24for the parents directly because because the suffering endured by
00:06:28by these babies and their families
00:06:29families is impossible to comprehend.
00:06:32comprehend. On behalf of the government government and the health service,
00:06:35service, I am profoundly sorry for
00:06:37for the failures set out so clearly
00:06:40clearly in this report for the harm,
00:06:43harm, distress and unthinkable loss loss for their families and for the
00:06:47the failures to keep their babies
00:06:48babies safe. On safety and reassurance
00:06:51reassurance for parents, Lady Justice Justice Thirlwall recommends the
00:06:54the introduction of video baby monitors monitors for neonatal units. I agree.
00:06:58agree. I have asked my officials officials to urgently develop plans
00:07:02plans for cot cams, which can also
00:07:04also help parents feel better connected connected to their babies when they
00:07:07they aren't able to be with them them in person. The inquiry says
00:07:11says the sudden, unexpected death death in infancy and childhood guidance
00:07:14guidance must be updated. I agree agree that is now under way. It welcomes
00:07:18welcomes the introduction of medical medical examiners but said it should
00:07:21should have happened ten years earlier. earlier. I agree. We will set out
00:07:24out further plans to strengthen their their neonatal expertise following
00:07:28following the inquiry's recommendations. recommendations. When the government
00:07:31government sets out its full response. response. Well, that was Yvette Cooper
00:07:35Cooper talking a little earlier. earlier. Professor Mary Dixon-Woods
00:07:38Dixon-Woods is director of the Healthcare Healthcare Improvement Studies Institute.
00:07:41Institute. She told me why a profound
00:07:44profound failure like this actually actually happens. It's very clear
00:07:47clear what happened was this holistic
00:07:49holistic failure at almost every every level here. Unfortunately,
00:07:52Unfortunately, this is also a repeating repeating pattern. You mentioned mentioned Shipman earlier and it
00:07:56it was the same thing of systems systems not working together. Where
00:08:00Where there are processes, they're they're not followed. And sometimes
00:08:04sometimes failure to act on, on really really concerning signals. It's also
00:08:08also fair to say that when something something like this starts to go
00:08:11go wrong, those signals are often often really quite difficult to detect.
00:08:14detect. They may take the form of of unease, they may take the form
00:08:18form of discomfort. They may be difficult difficult to evidence. I think the
00:08:22the challenge that we have known known about going back to Beverley
00:08:25Beverley Allitt actually, is that that organisations are typically
00:08:28typically not sufficiently alert
00:08:30alert to these challenges and don't don't necessarily respond effectively
00:08:33effectively to them. They may improvise,
00:08:36improvise, they may divert the concerns
00:08:39concerns down routes that are inappropriate. inappropriate. And as your correspondent
00:08:42correspondent said, they may not not include the families, the people
00:08:44people who are most affected in their their response. And that's exactly
00:08:47exactly what we've seen here. Let Let me pick up on that final point,
00:08:51point, because there are failures failures at every single level. And
00:08:54And that last part is absolutely absolutely evident because patients
00:08:57patients were kept in the dark for
00:08:59for years. That too is a common theme,
00:09:01theme, isn't it? With other scandals scandals we've seen. Why do you think
00:09:05think that happens? We've had a duty
00:09:09duty of candour for now a decade, decade, and it is not always implemented
00:09:13implemented appropriately. It's really really very disappointing to see
00:09:16see how it happened in this case.
00:09:19case. We I'm delighted to see that that one of the recommendations of
00:09:22of Lady Thirlwall is for a protocol protocol for investigating deliberate
00:09:26deliberate harm, and I think it's it's essential that that is absolutely
00:09:29absolutely focused on the families families being included right from from the beginning. It's really quite
00:09:33quite shocking what happened here. here. I'll come to the recommendations recommendations in a moment. But
00:09:37But you were making a point to our
00:09:39our producer that gender is part
00:09:42part of this, that compassion and and respect for women is less than
00:09:46than it is for men. Just explain explain what you're getting at here
00:09:50here and the evidence for that. We
00:09:53We very often see patterns of gender
00:09:57gender issues of maternity, for example, example, not being given the same
00:10:00same priority at executive and board board level as other areas of care.
00:10:04care. So I think one of the things things that may have happened here
00:10:07here is that this area of the hospital
00:10:10hospital may have been deprioritized deprioritized in terms of what was
00:10:13was seen as organisational priorities,
00:10:15priorities, and Lady Thirlwall actually actually quotes me in the report
00:10:19report when I talk about priority priority tickets, by which I mean
00:10:22mean that there are so many things things that organisations are expected
00:10:24expected to do they may lose sight sight of what's really important
00:10:28important keeping keeping patients patients and families safe. In this
00:10:31this case, I suspect that one of of the things that happened was that
00:10:35that neonatal care was, was further further down the priority list than
00:10:39than it should have been. A final final thought in terms of the recommendations,
00:10:42recommendations, because everything everything that we've talked about about is incredibly depressing. But
00:10:46But in terms of the fixes. Talk me me through the roadmap because Yvette
00:10:50Yvette Cooper, the health secretary, secretary, has already just said
00:10:52said that they will accept the recommendation recommendation to fit cot cams in
00:10:56in neonatal units. Tell me what actually actually needs to be done and how
00:11:00how easy it is going to do to be
00:11:02be to actually get it done. Sure,
00:11:05Sure, there are 17 recommendations. recommendations. Lady Thirlwall's
00:11:08Thirlwall's analysis is meticulous meticulous and her recommendations
00:11:11recommendations are extremely practical. practical. The CCTV and monitoring
00:11:14monitoring is one of them, but there there are also some really very useful
00:11:18useful recommendations. As I said, said, in relation to this deliberate
00:11:21deliberate harm protocol, which I I think could be transformational.
00:11:25transformational. There are other other recommendations as well, and and I think the commitment now has
00:11:27has to be turning those into practical practical reality. She comments herself
00:11:31herself that there's been too many many inquiries, too many recommendations,
00:11:34recommendations, and they don't always
00:11:35always make the difference to families
00:11:39families that they should. Let's Let's turn to Lithuania because the
00:11:42the EU chief, Ursula von der Leyen, Leyen, has condemned what she calls
00:11:45calls Russia's reckless and dangerous dangerous behaviour after Denmark
00:11:48Denmark said a Russian frigate fired fired flares at a helicopter and
00:11:52and Nato shot down a drone over Lithuania.
00:11:54Lithuania. In a post on X, she said said these are not isolated incidents.
00:11:58incidents. They're part of a broader broader pattern of Russian aggression
00:12:01aggression and provocation against against Europe. Testing our readiness
00:12:05readiness and our resolve, Russia Russia will find our resolve is only
00:12:08only growing stronger. She goes on on to say we are reinforcing our
00:12:12our collective deterrence and defence defence together with Nato, and we're
00:12:15we're stepping up the pressure on on Russia. Well, let me show you
00:12:18you the moment that drone was brought
00:12:21brought down by Italian Nato fighter
00:12:23fighter jets, the interception caught
00:12:25caught by a residents security camera camera that the footage from earlier.
00:12:29earlier. Well, I've been speaking speaking live on the programme to
00:12:32to Poland's foreign minister Radoslaw
00:12:34Radoslaw Sikorski, and asked him him whether this was another sign
00:12:37sign of Russia testing Nato. We need
00:12:42need the Lithuanian authorities to
00:12:44to give us the considered view as
00:12:46as to whose drone it was, but we
00:12:49we had something much bigger entering
00:12:52entering Polish airspace 100km a
00:12:55a Russian cruise missile in July
00:12:57July and we are confident that it
00:13:00it was a deliberate incursion as
00:13:03as both testing our procedures and
00:13:07and as attempted intimidation. Now
00:13:10Now we're showing the pictures from from Lithuania. But of course it's
00:13:13it's only a few days ago since a
00:13:14a Russian drone hit a train near
00:13:17near Poland's border with Ukraine.
00:13:19Ukraine. Do you think Moscow is becoming
00:13:21becoming increasingly reckless? Because Because in the last half an hour,
00:13:25hour, their foreign ministry spokeswoman spokeswoman has said that Western
00:13:28Western politicians and diplomats diplomats should be soberly assessing
00:13:31assessing the risks of travelling
00:13:34travelling to Ukraine. Well, thereby
00:13:37thereby signalling the intention
00:13:40intention which is to cut Ukraine
00:13:45Ukraine off from our material support, support, from our financial support,
00:13:48support, from our military support
00:13:50support and even from visits I will
00:13:54will I can only repeat what I said
00:13:57said before going to Kyiv to the
00:13:59the same conference from which the
00:14:02the train was travelling. The more more they bombed, the more we need
00:14:05need to show solidarity. You reference reference what you said. I will just
00:14:09just say for viewers who may not not have caught that on social media,
00:14:12media, you said in the event of Russian
00:14:15Russian aggression against Nato thanks thanks to air superiority, the Air
00:14:18Air Force of Nato's European part
00:14:20part would be able to even without without US involvement, destroy half
00:14:24half of Russia's refineries faster
00:14:27faster than Ukraine. There's lots
00:14:29lots in what you posted, but do you
00:14:32you think we are close approaching
00:14:34approaching that moment where things
00:14:36things like that have to be actively actively considered some sort of
00:14:40of military response? Well, we seek
00:14:44seek no conflict with Russia. We We are a purely defensive alliance.
00:14:48alliance. And I think I make that that clear. But we can't pretend
00:14:51pretend we are not seeing what Russia Russia is doing, first of all to
00:14:54to Ukraine and then to ourselves. ourselves. You've had death squads
00:14:58squads in Britain. You've had arson arson against the Prime Minister's
00:15:02Minister's house. You have Russian
00:15:04Russian fleet mapping your critical
00:15:07critical undersea infrastructure. infrastructure. There have been attempts
00:15:10attempts to bring down airliners. airliners. And the latest incident
00:15:14incident in Leipzig in Germany, where
00:15:16where they've had death squads to. to. There have been arsons in Poland
00:15:19Poland they tried to blow up a moving
00:15:23moving train and only through their
00:15:25their incompetence was nobody hurt.
00:15:28hurt. Attacks on border crossings
00:15:31crossings against Moldova, Romania Romania drones crossing into Poland,
00:15:35Poland, into Romania now Lithuania.
00:15:37Lithuania. We found a drone literally
00:15:41literally yesterday that was washed washed up on our shore. We think
00:15:44think it was some kind of lost drone drone in an exercise. We're still
00:15:48still working on it, but that's these
00:15:52these are not actions of a responsible responsible party. Oh, I've forgotten
00:15:55forgotten just this morning I think think they've launched some flares
00:15:59flares against the Danish helicopter. helicopter. Given all of that and
00:16:02and given everything we've seen over over the last four years, Donald
00:16:05Donald Trump over the weekend told
00:16:08told President Zelensky to stop hitting
00:16:10hitting oil refineries and oil targets targets in Russia. What did you make
00:16:14make of that? Again, the emphasis
00:16:16emphasis on pressurising Ukraine Ukraine and not Moscow. Well, it
00:16:20it turns out that Ukraine has some
00:16:24some cards and the damage to oil
00:16:27oil refineries has affected Russia's
00:16:29Russia's ability to fight and shows
00:16:33shows that Ukraine is in a position
00:16:35position to say, all right, let's
00:16:38let's have a at least a partial cease
00:16:40cease fire in one section. I also
00:16:43also know that Ukraine wishes for
00:16:45for such a ceasefire. I mean, an
00:16:47an overall one. But if not, then
00:16:52then as regards the shipment of grain
00:16:54grain across the Black Sea, there
00:16:57there are developing shortages of
00:16:59of grain in Egypt, for example, and and the price of grain is rising.
00:17:03rising. This is going to become a
00:17:04a problem for the global South. But
00:17:07But of course, Ukraine is demanding
00:17:09demanding specifics. They don't want
00:17:12want to just pause, put aside the the cards that you referenced. They
00:17:15They want this to be viewed in a
00:17:18a wider viewpoint, don't they, in in terms of any talk of a ceasefire
00:17:22ceasefire that the US President has
00:17:23has already been floating? Well,
00:17:26Well, Putin is not a leader you can can trust, he said. These are not
00:17:29not my men in Crimea, he said. I
00:17:32I have absolutely no intention of
00:17:35of attacking Ukraine. So everything
00:17:38everything he says needs verification
00:17:40verification and. But I think President
00:17:44President Zelensky has said that
00:17:45that if Russia stops attacking Ukraine's
00:17:49Ukraine's energy infrastructure, infrastructure, he will reciprocate. reciprocate. Just a final thought,
00:17:53thought, because we've seen reported reported over the last couple of
00:17:56of days, Donald Trump Junior's wedding wedding celebrations, in part being
00:18:00being paid for by a Russian oligarch,
00:18:03oligarch, Putin ally. How worrying
00:18:06worrying is that, given what is required
00:18:08required here is an honest broker
00:18:11broker the US trying to get these
00:18:13these two sides to end this war but
00:18:16but in a fair way. Well, we have
00:18:22have politicians in our countries countries which somehow sometimes
00:18:25sometimes don't distinguish between between conflicts of interest. I
00:18:27I think it's one of the signs of
00:18:30of a well-run country that that politicians
00:18:34politicians should be on guard against
00:18:37against such perceptions. Poland's Poland's foreign minister, talking talking to me a little earlier on
00:18:41on today's programme, we're going going to take a short break around around the world and across the UK.
00:18:44UK. You're
00:19:46people. For the latest, follow us us on the President's. Path here
00:19:49here on BBC News. Welcome back. Now
00:19:55Now the price of oil has risen sharply sharply over the last few days, with
00:19:59with Brent crude currently trading trading at levels not seen since
00:20:02since May. It follows fresh attacks attacks on Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure
00:20:06infrastructure and on shipping in in the Middle East, heightening concerns
00:20:10concerns about supply. Well, Saudi Saudi Arabia shut down its east west
00:20:14west pipeline to the Red Sea after after it was damaged by drones fired
00:20:17fired from Iraqi territory. The shutdown
00:20:19shutdown threatens up to 4% of global global oil supplies. The route had
00:20:23had allowed Saudi Arabia to circumvent circumvent the Strait of Hormuz,
00:20:25Hormuz, which of course is currently currently largely blocked by Iran.
00:20:29Iran. Well, Thomas Copeland from from BBC Verify told us more about
00:20:32about the latest developments in in the region. We've been looking
00:20:35looking at the damage that has been been done to this pipeline. It's It's an increasingly important pipeline
00:20:39pipeline for Saudi Arabia, pumping pumping oil away from the Strait Strait of Hormuz over to the Red
00:20:43Red Sea. The satellite images, they they should be on your screen in in front of you now. They appear
00:20:47appear to show charred, burnt, demolished demolished elements of this large
00:20:50large pumping station along the pipeline. pipeline. We've been speaking to to experts who say that the Saudis
00:20:54Saudis might take up to six weeks weeks to fully repair that pipeline. pipeline. That's going to have a
00:20:58a big impact on global supply. We've
00:21:00We've seen you mentioned the 4% figure
00:21:02figure there 4% impact on global global supply. Brent crude spiked
00:21:06spiked on Friday after that strike, strike, and then it's still trending
00:21:09trending over $100 a barrel. Now Now all of this experts say has exposed
00:21:13exposed partly a weakness in the the Saudi strategy. They had tried
00:21:16tried to avoid putting oil through through the Strait of Hormuz because because of the influence of Iran
00:21:20Iran there. But a large pipeline pipeline moving all across your country
00:21:23country is a sitting duck target. target. Experts have told us it is
00:21:26is long. It is above ground. It is is hard to defend in this case, the
00:21:29the Saudis say that this was a drone drone attack that came from Iraq,
00:21:33Iraq, from Iran backed proxies in in Iraq. But it is a similar strategy
00:21:36strategy that we're seeing from the the Houthis, another Iran backed backed proxy in Yemen. They have
00:21:40have been striking oil refinery facilities. facilities. For example, in Jizan,
00:21:43Jizan, a Saudi city. You can see see some of that damage on your screen screen as well here from earlier
00:21:46earlier in the month, destroyed oil
00:21:48oil tanks that have forced that refineries refineries closure and that refinery
00:21:52refinery hit again this week by the the Houthis. Tell me more Then about
00:21:56about the strikes between the Houthis Houthis and Saudi Arabia, because
00:21:59because that has been going on for for such a while in terms of that
00:22:02that wider conflict. But the Houthis Houthis making massive progress in
00:22:06in the last week or so, grabbing grabbing the coastline of the Red
00:22:09Red Sea. Yeah, this is the other other part of this puzzle. Right. Right. So the Houthis have seized
00:22:12seized huge amounts of territory territory along the west coast of
00:22:15of that has given them greater access access to the Red Sea than ever before
00:22:19before and to the Saudi linked ships ships that are in there. The Houthis
00:22:21Houthis have had this what they call call a blockade of Saudi ports for
00:22:25for a number of months now in place. place. This new territory that they
00:22:28they have will give them greater greater access to those ships. If
00:22:31If it is the case that Saudi Arabia Arabia is forced to ship all of its
00:22:34its oil instead of through the Bab Bab al Mandab Strait of the south
00:22:37south of the Red Sea, up through through the Suez Canal, all the way
00:22:40way around Africa to get to these these refineries in Asia. That's That's going to send oil prices up.
00:22:44up. And even for ships that aren't aren't linked to Saudi Arabia, experts
00:22:47experts say to us ship owners, ship ship companies, they're really worried. worried. They're worried about miscommunication
00:22:51miscommunication and they're worried worried about maybe in the future future the Houthis targets changing
00:22:55changing as well. Well, tell us more more because there is obviously as
00:22:59as you're outlining huge pressure pressure on Saudi oil production,
00:23:02production, but you production but
00:23:03but you have these two choke points.
00:23:07points. Now in terms of the impacts, impacts, the longer impacts on reserves,
00:23:10reserves, all of that. Where are are we with global oil markets? Well, Well, we've spoken to experts who've
00:23:14who've said that it is the case that that if it weren't for the choke
00:23:17choke point in the Strait of Hormuz, Hormuz, you know, the international international and global oil markets
00:23:21markets could probably some of absorb absorb the blow of an increasingly
00:23:24increasingly restricted Bab al Mandab Mandab Strait about 15% of global
00:23:28global trade goes through there. there. But because you have this
00:23:31this choke point in the Strait of of Hormuz, more oil is getting through through there than we have seen earlier
00:23:35earlier on in this conflict, but but still nowhere near the levels
00:23:37levels that we were seeing before before the conflict began. All of of that means that there's simply
00:23:41simply less slack in the system than than there was before, and that's
00:23:44that's going to have an impact on on oil prices. And that means goods
00:23:47goods services, product, international international trade. The latest there
