00:01:15change their children's school over
00:01:17over security concerns. Hello and
00:01:28and welcome to BBC News and we start start with that devastating report
00:01:31report here in the UK looking at at how Lucy Letby was able to murder
00:01:35murder seven babies and attempt to to murder others. It has found that
00:01:38that there was a complete failure failure to protect babies at the
00:01:41the Countess of Chester Hospital, Hospital, and that lies would have
00:01:44have been saved if action was taken
00:01:46taken earlier. The inquiry chair
00:01:49chair has called for urgent nationwide nationwide changes to protect families
00:01:52families and ensure NHS staff can can raise concerns of deliberate
00:01:56deliberate harm. Here's our correspondent correspondent Lauren Moss. The offences
00:01:59offences of murder and. Attempted Attempted murder have been identified
00:02:02identified and you have been identified identified as a suspect of these
00:02:05these offences. Lucy Letby, seen. Here on police body camera
00:02:08camera footage arrested at her home home on suspicion of murdering vulnerable
00:02:12vulnerable babies on a neonatal hospital
00:02:15hospital ward in 2015 and 2016. I
00:02:16I was at a job that you enjoyed.
00:02:22enjoyed. Care of. She would go on
00:02:24on to be convicted of murdering seven seven babies and attempting to murder
00:02:28murder seven others, making her the
00:02:30the UK's most prolific child killer killer of modern times. Now, the
00:02:34the findings of an inquiry led by by a senior judge looking into how
00:02:37how Letby was able to harm those
00:02:40those in her care, has found huge
00:02:42huge failures in the NHS trust where where she worked and that babies
00:02:45babies may have lived if senior managers
00:02:47managers had acted sooner. The report
00:02:50report describes dysfunctional management management and governance, a gulf
00:02:54gulf between hospital leadership leadership and clinicians and failure
00:02:57failure to understand the fundamentals
00:03:02fundamentals of safeguarding. Errors Errors were made by nurses, doctors
00:03:04doctors and managers at the time
00:03:06time of these events. I've set these these out in the report and will
00:03:10will turn to this topic later. There
00:03:13There was also complete failure at
00:03:15at all levels to invoke safeguarding
00:03:19safeguarding procedures at any point.
00:03:21point. The inquiry has found there
00:03:23there was a complete failure to protect
00:03:25protect babies on the neonatal unit. unit. There was a failure to understand
00:03:29understand the fundamentals of safeguarding safeguarding and that parents of
00:03:32of the babies were kept in the dark dark for years over concerns that
00:03:36that their babies may have been deliberately
00:03:39deliberately harmed. It says the
00:03:41the NHS must take steps to prevent,
00:03:43prevent, detect and act when deliberate
00:03:46deliberate harm is suspected. The
00:03:49The inquiry hasn't reviewed Letby
00:03:50Letby convictions. Protesters campaigning
00:03:53campaigning about Letby innocence innocence gathered outside Liverpool
00:03:56Liverpool town Hall ahead of the the inquiry's report. Her legal team
00:04:00team asked for the inquiry to be be paused while her case is looked
00:04:03looked at by the Criminal Cases Review Review Commission, but that was denied.
00:04:07denied. A group of medical experts experts have questioned the evidence.
00:04:10evidence. In summary, ladies and and gentlemen, we did not find any
00:04:14any murders. The inquiry found clinicians clinicians who'd raised concerns
00:04:17concerns about Letby were themselves themselves made the subject of investigation
00:04:21investigation and forced to apologise apologise to her. It also found lessons
00:04:24lessons from previous scandals, including including the Harold Shipman case,
00:04:27case, had not been learnt. Solicitors
00:04:30Solicitors representing some of the the families of the babies say the
00:04:33the inquiry, which started hearing
00:04:35hearing evidence two years ago, has has been traumatic. The legal reality
00:04:39reality is that Lucy Letby has been
00:04:41been convicted. We have these long,
00:04:43long, often long running and often
00:04:45often expensive inquiries and they're they're very important for learning
00:04:48learning lessons. But often the recommendations recommendations are never implemented.
00:04:52implemented. And it's a betrayal
00:04:53betrayal not just of the people who've
00:04:56who've suffered in these cases, families families like those I represent.
00:04:59represent. It's actually a betrayal
00:05:00betrayal of the public. The inquiry
00:05:03inquiry makes 17 urgent recommendations. recommendations. Lady Justice Thirlwall
00:05:06Thirlwall says nothing like this
00:05:08this must ever be allowed to happen
00:05:11happen again. Well, the health secretary, secretary, Yvette Cooper, says the
00:05:14the government is planning to put
00:05:15put live streaming monitors on cots cots in neonatal wards. In a statement
00:05:19statement in the Commons a little little earlier, she apologised on
00:05:22on behalf of the government for the the failures in safeguarding. So
00:05:26So let me address the issues for
00:05:28for the families and for the parents
00:05:31parents directly because the suffering suffering endured by these babies
00:05:34babies and their families is impossible
00:05:36impossible to comprehend. On behalf behalf of the government and the
00:05:40the health service, I am profoundly profoundly sorry for the failures
00:05:43failures set out so clearly in this
00:05:47this report for the harm, distress
00:05:49distress and unthinkable loss for for their families and for the failures
00:05:52failures to keep their babies safe.
00:05:55safe. On safety and reassurance for
00:05:57for parents, Lady Justice Thirlwall Thirlwall recommends the introduction introduction of video baby monitors
00:06:01monitors for neonatal units. I agree.
00:06:04agree. I have asked my officials officials to urgently develop plans
00:06:07plans for cot cams, which can also
00:06:09also help parents feel better connected connected to their babies when they
00:06:13they aren't able to be with them
00:06:14them in person. The inquiry says says the sudden, unexpected death
00:06:18death in infancy and childhood guidance guidance must be updated. I agree
00:06:22agree that is now under way. It welcomes welcomes the introduction of medical
00:06:25medical examiners but said it should should have happened ten years earlier.
00:06:28earlier. I agree we will set out
00:06:30out further plans to strengthen their their neonatal expertise following
00:06:34following the inquiry's recommendations. recommendations. When the government
00:06:37government sets out its full response. response. Well, that was the Health Health Secretary a little earlier.
00:06:41earlier. Let's speak live to our our correspondent Emer Vardy following
00:06:44following this story for us. And
00:06:46And Emer, this is an absolutely devastating
00:06:48devastating report at every level,
00:06:51level, isn't it? Absolutely. The
00:06:54The scope of it not only looked at at the missed opportunities at the
00:06:58the Countess of Chester Hospital,
00:07:00Hospital, but more widely at the
00:07:03the culture within the NHS, the hierarchy
00:07:05hierarchy of doctors and hospital hospital managers. And there are
00:07:08are those practical recommendations
00:07:11recommendations like cameras in neonatal neonatal units, cameras on cots,
00:07:14cots, restricted access to insulin
00:07:17insulin and reports being escalated escalated more quickly and trends
00:07:20trends being looked at if there are
00:07:22are collapses in babies or unexpected unexpected and unexplained deaths
00:07:26deaths like that. That's one practical
00:07:27practical side of things, but also
00:07:30also she's recommended different different changes in the culture
00:07:33culture of organisations and referred referred to the way in which failing
00:07:36failing NHS managers are sometimes sometimes simply moved between trusts
00:07:40trusts with little accountability accountability and the onus being
00:07:44being on avoiding employment tribunals tribunals rather than asking the
00:07:47the right questions. So the scope scope of this not only touches on
00:07:51on sort of individual day to day day practices in wards, in neonatal
00:07:55neonatal units, but on the culture
00:07:57culture of NHS management as a whole. whole. Because one of the things
00:08:01things that became very clear in
00:08:03in the inquiry was this real breakdown
00:08:06breakdown and division between nurses,
00:08:09nurses, consultants and hospital hospital management. Often there there were consultants raising concerns
00:08:12concerns who later said they didn't didn't feel they were listened to,
00:08:15to, and then there was division between between them and nurses, some of
00:08:18of whom were pushing back against against the allegations. Suspicions
00:08:22Suspicions that Lucy Letby was capable capable of harming babies. And it
00:08:25it was because of some of this division division that these concerns weren't
00:08:28weren't escalated much, much more
00:08:30more quickly to police and those
00:08:33those opportunities were missed to to prevent further harm and further
00:08:36further murders taking place at the
00:08:37the hands of Lucy Letby. Now, the the recommendations you touched upon
00:08:41upon them, but has the government
00:08:44government accepted all 17 of them? them? And what is the likely timeline
00:08:47timeline on all of this? Well, I
00:08:53I think these will be implemented implemented in different ways in
00:08:55in the years to come. But there have have been some hard deadlines that
00:08:58that have been set by Lady Justice
00:09:01Justice Thirlwall a lot of it by by March next year. She wants to
00:09:05to see new guidance being disseminated.
00:09:07disseminated. Some of those recommendations recommendations being implemented,
00:09:10implemented, particularly guidance guidance on sudden unexpected death
00:09:13death in infancy and childhood, saying
00:09:16saying that should be distributed distributed that no later than 31st
00:09:1931st of March next year. And really really that relates to the things
00:09:22things which arose in the inquiry, inquiry, such as trends that just
00:09:26just weren't being looked at and and particularly in this case, for
00:09:30for example, the Countess of Chester Chester Hospital, there were three
00:09:33three deaths within two weeks, which which in one sense was more deaths
00:09:36deaths than they'd had in an entire
00:09:38entire year. And certain numbers numbers like that being flagged up
00:09:41up and being looked at as an area
00:09:43area of concern in a much more serious
00:09:45serious way than they had been during
00:09:48during the case of Lucy Letby. So So there are things of which the
00:09:52the time the clock will start ticking ticking now and will be reviewed
00:09:54reviewed again in March next year,
00:09:56year, but others are going to be
00:09:58be implemented over months and years
00:10:00years to come. Because one of the
00:10:03the failures that was particularly particularly highlighted in this this inquiry is that there have previously
00:10:07previously been very expensive, long long running public inquiries off
00:10:10off the back of previous previous
00:10:11previous health care scandals, of of which recommendations have not
00:10:15not always been implemented. So Lady
00:10:17Lady Justice Thirlwall was very clear clear about this not being the end
00:10:21end of the story too, and there being being accountability and reviews
00:10:25reviews in terms these recommendations recommendations actually being taken
00:10:27taken forward so that people can can have confidence that there can
00:10:31can be change. Emer, thanks very
00:10:32very much. Thank you. Now the EU EU chief, Ursula...
00:10:36Now the EU chief, Ursula von der Leyen has condemned what she
00:10:38she calls Russia's reckless and dangerous dangerous behaviour after Denmark
00:10:41Denmark said a Russian frigate fired fired flares at a helicopter and
00:10:45and Nato shot down a drone over Lithuania.
00:10:47Lithuania. In a post on X, she said said these are not isolated incidents.
00:10:50incidents. They're part of a broader broader pattern of Russian aggression
00:10:53aggression and provocation against against Europe. Testing our readiness
00:10:57readiness and our resolve, Russia Russia will find our resolve only
00:11:00only growing stronger, she goes on. on. We are reinforcing our collective
00:11:04collective deterrence and defence defence together with Nato, and we're
00:11:07we're stepping up the pressure on on Russia. Well, this was the moment
00:11:10moment the drone was actually brought
00:11:12brought down by Italian Nato fighter
00:11:15fighter jets near the Lithuanian
00:11:16Lithuanian city of Kaunas. The interception, interception, caught by a security
00:11:20security camera. Well, I've been been speaking to Poland's foreign
00:11:23foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski, Sikorski, about whether he thinks
00:11:26thinks this is another sign of Russia
00:11:29Russia testing Nato. We need. The
00:11:32The Lithuanian authorities to give
00:11:34give us their considered view as
00:11:36as to whose drone it was. But we
00:11:38we had something much bigger entering
00:11:42entering Polish airspace 100km a
00:11:45a Russian cruise missile in July.
00:11:47July. And we are confident that it
00:11:50it was a deliberate incursion as
00:11:53as both testing our procedures and
00:11:57and as attempted intimidation. Now
00:11:59Now we're showing the pictures from from Lithuania. But of course it's
00:12:03it's only a few days ago since a
00:12:04a Russian drone hit a train near
00:12:07near Poland's border with Ukraine.
00:12:09Ukraine. Do you think Moscow is becoming becoming increasingly reckless? Because
00:12:13Because in the last half an hour hour their foreign ministry spokeswoman
00:12:17spokeswoman has said that Western Western politicians and diplomats
00:12:20diplomats should be soberly assessing
00:12:21assessing the risks of travelling
00:12:24travelling to Ukraine. Well, thereby
00:12:28thereby signalling the intention
00:12:29intention which is to cut Ukraine
00:12:35Ukraine off from our material support, support, from our financial support,
00:12:38support, from our military support
00:12:39support and even from visits. I will
00:12:44will I can only repeat what I said
00:12:47said before going to Kyiv to the
00:12:49the same conference from which the the train was travelling. The more
00:12:53more they bombed, the more we need
00:12:56need to show solidarity. You reference reference what you said. I will just
00:12:59just say for viewers who may not not have caught that on social media,
00:13:02media, you said in the event of Russian
00:13:05Russian aggression against Nato thanks thanks to air superiority, the Air
00:13:08Air Force of Nato's European part part would be able to even without
00:13:12without US involvement, destroy half
00:13:14half of Russia's refineries faster
00:13:17faster than Ukraine. There's lots
00:13:19lots in what you posted, but do you
00:13:22you think we are close approaching approaching that moment where things
00:13:26things like that have to be actively
00:13:28actively considered some sort of
00:13:30of military response? Well, we seek
00:13:34seek no conflict with Russia. We We are a purely defensive alliance.
00:13:38alliance. And I think I make that that clear. But we can't pretend
00:13:41pretend we are not seeing what Russia Russia is doing, first of all, to
00:13:44to Ukraine and then to ourselves. ourselves. You've had death squads
00:13:48squads in Britain. You've had arsenic arsenic against the Prime Minister's
00:13:51Minister's house. You have Russian
00:13:54Russian fleet mapping your critical
00:13:57critical undersea infrastructure. infrastructure. There have been attempts
00:14:00attempts to bring down airliners. airliners. And the latest incident
00:14:04incident in Leipzig in Germany, where
00:14:06where they've had death squads to. to. There have been arsons in Poland
00:14:09Poland they tried to blow up a moving
00:14:13moving train and only through their
00:14:15their incompetence was nobody hurt.
00:14:18hurt. Attacks on border crossings
00:14:21crossings against Moldova, Romania Romania drones crossing into Poland,
00:14:25Poland, into Romania now Lithuania.
00:14:27Lithuania. We found a drone literally
00:14:31literally yesterday that was washed washed up on our shore. We think
00:14:34think it was some kind of lost drone
00:14:36drone in an exercise. We're still
00:14:39still working on it, but that's these
00:14:41these are not actions of a responsible responsible party. Oh, I forgotten
00:14:45forgotten just this morning. I think think they've launched some flares
00:14:49flares against the Danish helicopter. helicopter. Given all of that and
00:14:52and given everything we've seen over over the last four years, Donald
00:14:55Donald Trump over the weekend told
00:14:57told President Zelensky to stop hitting
00:15:00hitting oil refineries and oil targets targets in Russia. What did you make
00:15:04make of that? Again, the emphasis emphasis on pressurising Ukraine
00:15:08Ukraine and not Moscow. Well, it
00:15:10it turns out that Ukraine has some
00:15:14some cards and the damage to oil
00:15:17oil refineries has affected Russia's
00:15:19Russia's ability to fight and shows
00:15:23shows that Ukraine is in a position
00:15:25position to say, all right let's
00:15:28let's have a at least a partial cease
00:15:30cease fire in one section. I also
00:15:33also know that Ukraine wishes for for such a ceasefire. I mean, an
00:15:37an overall one. But if not, then
00:15:41then as regards the shipment of grain
00:15:44grain across the Black Sea, there
00:15:46there are developing shortages of
00:15:49of grain in Egypt, for example, and and the price of grain is rising.
00:15:53rising. This is going to become a a problem for the global South. But
00:15:57But of course, Ukraine is demanding
00:15:59demanding specifics. They don't want
00:16:01want to just pause, put aside the the cards that you referenced. They
00:16:05They want this to be viewed in a
00:16:08a wider viewpoint, don't they, in in terms of any talk of a ceasefire
00:16:12ceasefire that the US President has
00:16:13has already been floating? Well,
00:16:16Well, Putin is not a leader you can can trust, he said. These are not
00:16:19not my men in Crimea, he said. I
00:16:21I have absolutely no intention of
00:16:24of attacking Ukraine. So everything
00:16:28everything he says needs verification
00:16:31verification and. But I think President
00:16:34President Zelensky has said that
00:16:35that if Russia stops attacking Ukraine's
00:16:40Ukraine's energy infrastructure, infrastructure, he will reciprocate. reciprocate. Just a final thought
00:16:43thought because we've seen reported reported over the last couple of
00:16:46of days, Donald Trump Junior's wedding wedding celebrations in part being
00:16:50being paid for by a Russian oligarch,
00:16:52oligarch, a Putin ally. How worrying
00:16:56worrying is that, given what is required required here is an honest broker
00:17:00broker the US trying to get these
00:17:03these two sides to end this war,
00:17:05war, but in a fair way. Well, we
00:17:11we have politicians in our countries countries which somehow sometimes
00:17:14sometimes don't distinguish between between conflicts of interests. I
00:17:17I think it's one of the signs of
00:17:20of a well-run country that that politicians
00:17:24politicians should be on guard against
00:17:26against such perceptions. Poland's Poland's foreign minister talking
00:17:29talking to me on the programme a a little earlier. We're going to
00:17:31to take a short break around the the world and
00:18:33for world questions. Nigeria truth,

00:20:09reasons. He stressed that he was was released without charge and had
00:20:12had done nothing wrong. Gwent Police Police said a 45-year-old man in
00:20:16in Caerphilly was bailed pending
00:20:19pending further enquiries. Now here
00:20:22here we've seen the publication of of wage growth data, which means
00:20:26means the total state pension is
00:20:27is likely to top £13,000 a year.
00:20:30year. Wage growth figures are used used in the so-called triple lock.
00:20:33lock. The calculation used for the the state pension, which has come
00:20:37come under scrutiny because of the the cost. Well, let's get more on
00:20:40on this with our cost of living. living. Correspondent Kevin Peachey
00:20:43Peachey and Kevin, it's worth starting starting by just telling us a little
00:20:46little more of how they get to this this 13,000 figure. Yes, the wage
00:20:50wage growth figures of interest to to workers of course, but certainly
00:20:52certainly of interest to state pensioners pensioners because this is going
00:20:55going to be the defining figure it
00:20:58it looks like, for getting to next
00:21:02next April's state pension rise. rise. So a reminder the triple lock.
00:21:05lock. It is the rise in state pension pension each year. And it's the highest
00:21:09highest of average wage growth inflation
00:21:13inflation or 2.5%. And as I say it it looks like wage growth is going
00:21:15going to be the one still to be confirmed confirmed that that will be the highest.
00:21:19highest. But it looks as though that that will mean this state pension
00:21:22pension going up for a flat rate rate state pension. So that's someone
00:21:25someone who's got the pension in
00:21:27in the last decade that will rise
00:21:32rise to around £13,000 a year for for the state pension. If you're
00:21:34you're on the older one then it will will be around £10,000 a year. And
00:21:38And as I said there in the introduction, introduction, there is bound to be
00:21:41be more scrutiny on the triple lock. lock. There has been scrutiny for
00:21:44for such a long while because of of the increasing cost here. Absolutely.
00:21:48Absolutely. I think the key there there is the increasing cost because
00:21:51because the state pension is not not going to make you rich £13,000
00:21:55£13,000 a year. It's clearly to help
00:21:57help those who are really, you know,
00:21:59know, on a low income and there are
00:22:03are people who get additional pension
00:22:05pension income. But the debate is
00:22:09is really over that rise, how much much it goes up each year, how that's
00:22:13that's calculated with whether it's it's fair compared with workers,
00:22:16workers, for example, but also the the cost and the cost to the Treasury.
00:22:20Treasury. Many economists say it it could go up by hundreds of millions
00:22:23millions of pounds a year. And so so that is putting pressure on the
00:22:27the public finances, putting pressure pressure on the Chancellor, the new
00:22:30new Chancellor, when it comes to to his spending choices. Just a quick
00:22:34quick final thought. What about tax
00:22:37tax thresholds? And this sum of 13,000?
00:22:4113,000? Where does that lie with with tax free allowances? Yes, the
00:22:44the eagle eared would realise that
00:22:47that takes you above the tax free free threshold means that in theory
00:22:50theory you would start paying income income tax on that. But the government
00:22:53government has confirmed today after after a little bit of back and forth
00:22:57forth that that anyone who relies relies solely on the state pension
00:23:01pension will not face income tax
00:23:03tax from April and indeed until the the end of this Parliament. Kevin
