bbcuk--2020-03-08--Disabled mother and son say police failings similar to Ebrahimi case

A disabled mother and her son have accused police of failing to address four years of `` relentless '' hate crime directed at them .
Ruth and Zac Jones from Bristol have logged some 50 complaints with police .
So far no-one has been caught but police said they were `` mindful '' of the family 's vulnerability .
The pair claimed the abuse and threats they have suffered have been similar to those experienced by Bijan Ebrahimi , in the lead-up to his murder in 2013 .
Since 2016 , the Jones family has reported to the police a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ damage to their property - including a brick thrown through the window of their council house and four vehicles set alight on their driveway .

`` I get bullying in some way , shape or form .
It 's just awful .
`` We just want to be able to live our lives properly .
The police have failed us .
They 're no help '' .
Ms Jones added : `` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caravan torched - I do n't want to be the next bonfire .
`` I just think the police should do their job ... if the police had done their job three years ago , I would n't be in this situation .
`` I 've ended up , and Zac 's ended up , living as victims . ''
BBC Inside Out West discovered that in 2016 , the then beat manager PC Jeanette Cadden wrote in the police log of reported incidents : `` I believe that Ruth is carrying out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Ms Jones was `` the aggressor '' and not the victim .
Ms Cadden was dismissed from the force in 2017 for sharing racist posts on her Facebook page - unrelated to the Jones family 's case .

He added : `` What I can say is that having looked through the call logs of all of the incidents reported since that date , those sentiments are not reflected in the response from officers .

'It made me really anxious' She credits her band-mates with Ishmael Ensemble for being so supportive .
`` It was terrifying .

Holly says memories of Glastonbury are `` a blur '' .

We 've become really close friends even though I 've never met them .
`` But we 've all gone through this one thing that only we can understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for me' Holly is thankful that the Teenage Cancer Trust has been there for her from the start and got her through tough moments .
`` They sorted me out with psychologists in the hospital when the thought of starting chemo was terrifying . ''
She found it `` really difficult '' when she lost her eyebrows and eyelashes .
But the Trust `` gave feel good sessions and gave a lesson on how to redo eyebrows and eyelashes '' .
And that 's not all , they 've also given the band @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cancer Trust gig .
`` I am so excited to walk out and look around to see the majesty of it . ''

A group of female surgeons are heading up a new initiative to stop them being mistaken for non-surgical staff .
To mark International Women 's Day they have produced personalised theatre scrub caps to promote women in surgery .
Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital ( RJAH ) in Oswestry , Shropshire , said approximately 12 % of surgeons across the UK were female .
Gillian Cribb had the idea , saying many people assumed `` if you 're not male , you 're not an orthopaedic surgeon '' .
`` It is becoming less so , but sometimes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` I will talk to a patient in clinic about an operation and they will ask who is doing it , they assume because you are female you wo n't be the surgeon . ''
The hospital trust said in the sub-speciality of trauma and orthopaedics , the number of female surgeons dropped to less than 6 % .
Miss Cribb , a consultant orthopaedic and oncological surgeon , said : `` When we are in an operating theatre for a whole day , we work with different people we do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but in theatre we do n't have badges on for infection control .
People can forget what your name is , that is where the movement with the caps started .
`` But there is an extra bit in terms of women in surgery .

France 's hopes of a Six Nations Grand Slam are over after revitalised Scotland inflicted their fourth consecutive Murrayfield defeat .
Fabien Galthie 's side had won their first three games of the Six Nations but a first-half red card for Mohamed Haouas let Scotland seize control .
Sean Maitland crossed either side of the break after Damian Penaud 's score , before Stuart McInally added a third .
Charles Ollivon 's late try could not deny Gregor Townsend consecutive wins .
Adam Hastings , who impressed in place of the exiled Finn Russell , added 13 points with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the championship and even a bonus-point win over Ireland in Paris next weekend might not seal the title with England still to face Italy .
Chasing the fourth leg of a Grand Slam , France were met with Scottish belligerence from the get-go , their day beginning badly and getting steadily worse from that point .
Here they met a home team who had no truck with all the chat of the glorious revival of Les Bleus .
They said privately they believed they would win and they set about their mission with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Scotland back row , with Jamie Ritchie and Hamish Watson bringing their relentless personalities to bear .
Lock Grant Gilchrist was outstanding .
The front row to a man were ferocious , with prop Zander Fagerson doing his bit in a winning scrum and putting in a monstrous shift around the park .
Hastings was terrific and this was a big day for Stuart Hogg , perhaps his biggest in a Scotland jersey .
As captain , he would have felt the joy of this big time .
There were big performers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or no red card , this was richly deserved .
France had Francois Cros binned early for dumping Gilchrist on his head in the tackle , with Paul Willemse perhaps getting off lightly for he was on the scene as well .
And while Cros was away for his 10 minutes - and there was a case for it being a red card - Scotland hit the front .
The visitors ' scrum has been one of their few areas of weakness on their road to Murrayfield this season and now it hurt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reborn in that department .
When France collapsed , Hastings banged over the first points .
Romain Ntamack had gone by then , the brilliant fly-half injured inside 10 minutes .
It was another blow following the withdrawal in the warm-up of their replacement hooker Camille Chat .
Things were not going their way .
Cros returned but Hastings made it 6-0 just after .
A quarter had been played and France had produced nothing .
When they threatened to get up a head of steam , they were halted by the aggression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out early through Scotland 's intensity and their own handling errors under the pressure of the blitz .
Murrayfield revelled in it - and then Murrayfield winced .
Having looked passive , France suddenly switched and regained their magic , if only for a brief period .
A thrust up the left from Matthieu Jalibert and Gael Fickou had Scotland in trouble .
When they moved it right , Antoine Dupont , the wee wizard that he is , put in the most sumptuous cross-field kick for Penaud to score .
Jalibert then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ahead .
The drama was only starting .
Four minutes before the break Haouas , a player with the shortest fuse , lost the plot amid a melee on the France line .
Practically every player was in there , pushing and shoving , but Haouas threw a punch at Ritchie , connected , and got what he deserved - a red card .
Hastings added to the visitors ' misery by putting over the resultant penalty to inch Scotland back in front .
Before the half was done , Scotland sickened France @ @ @ @ @ @ @ muscle before the stand-off entered proceedings with some brilliance that France could n't cope with .
He dummied and slalomed his way into space and found Ali Price in support .
France were spread-eagled .
Pace and accuracy did for them .
Centre Sam Johnson kept his cool in the decisive moment and gave it on a plate to Maitland , who sprinted over in the corner .
Within four minutes of Haouas walking , Scotland had hit them with eight points .
At last , they had found a ruthless streak .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ shone a light on how Scotland managed to put it all together on the day .
Under ferocious pressure near their own line , they stood up .
Big and bold , they would not let the French through , Watson coming up with a massive turnover .
Then they attacked , and France got well and truly Hogg-roasted .
The captain took off from his own 10m line , arcing downfield before playing in Chris Harris , who galloped clear .
The centre had Price on his shoulder and when the scrum-half @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the recycle was quick and the execution precise , Ritchie and Johnson sending Maitland in for his second score .
Hastings ' conversion from the touchline was pin-sharp .
The 15 men led the 14 men 21-7 .
The Slam had been slammed .
France rallied but the only joy they got from their pressure was three points from Jalibert , a penalty that was put over after they seemed to realise trying to bust the home defence for a try was n't working out .
The third Scotland try came 15 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fluke , but Murrayfield did n't care a whole lot about that .
Scotland had a line-out in the France 22 and McInally - on for 50-cap man Fraser Brown - had his throw pinched , but when the ball was diverted back on the France side , no visitor was able to collect it and the replacement hooker scooped up the gift and ran away to score .
Hastings knocked over the conversion .
The Scots led by 28-10 , a gap that narrowed to 11 when Ollivon battered his way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added the conversion , but he could n't save the Slam .
A thunderous Scotland , with help from the fiery Haouas , had ripped it from their grasp .

Guinness Six Nations: Scotland v France Scotland: (14) 28 Tries: Maitland (2), McInally Pens: Hastings (3) Cons: Hastings (2) France: (7) 17 Tries: Penaud, Ollivon Pens: Jalibert Cons: Jalibert (2)

Here they met a home team who had no truck with all the chat of the glorious revival of Les Bleus. They said privately they believed they would win and they set about their mission with zeal.
There were towering performances from the Scotland back row, with Jamie Ritchie and Hamish Watson bringing their relentless personalities to bear. Lock Grant Gilchrist was outstanding. The front row to a man were ferocious, with prop Zander Fagerson doing his bit in a winning scrum and putting in a monstrous shift around the park.
Hastings was terrific and this was a big day for Stuart Hogg, perhaps his biggest in a Scotland jersey. As captain, he would have felt the joy of this big time. There were big performers all over the field. Red card or no red card, this was richly deserved.
France had Francois Cros binned early for dumping Gilchrist on his head in the tackle, with Paul Willemse perhaps getting off lightly for he was on the scene as well. And while Cros was away for his 10 minutes - and there was a case for it being a red card - Scotland hit the front.
The visitors' scrum has been one of their few areas of weakness on their road to Murrayfield this season and now it hurt them again. The Scots have been reborn in that department. When France collapsed, Hastings banged over the first points.
Romain Ntamack had gone by then, the brilliant fly-half injured inside 10 minutes. It was another blow following the withdrawal in the warm-up of their replacement hooker Camille Chat. Things were not going their way.
Cros returned but Hastings made it 6-0 just after. A quarter had been played and France had produced nothing. When they threatened to get up a head of steam, they were halted by the aggression coming at them, their threat snuffed out early through Scotland's intensity and their own handling errors under the pressure of the blitz.
Murrayfield revelled in it - and then Murrayfield winced. Having looked passive, France suddenly switched and regained their magic, if only for a brief period.
A thrust up the left from Matthieu Jalibert and Gael Fickou had Scotland in trouble. When they moved it right, Antoine Dupont, the wee wizard that he is, put in the most sumptuous cross-field kick for Penaud to score. Jalibert then rifled over the conversion to put France ahead.
'Big & bold Scotland rip Slam from France'
The drama was only starting. Four minutes before the break Haouas, a player with the shortest fuse, lost the plot amid a melee on the France line. Practically every player was in there, pushing and shoving, but Haouas threw a punch at Ritchie, connected, and got what he deserved - a red card.
Hastings added to the visitors' misery by putting over the resultant penalty to inch Scotland back in front. Before the half was done, Scotland sickened France further, striking out through their forward muscle before the stand-off entered proceedings with some brilliance that France couldn't cope with.
He dummied and slalomed his way into space and found Ali Price in support. France were spread-eagled. Pace and accuracy did for them. Centre Sam Johnson kept his cool in the decisive moment and gave it on a plate to Maitland, who sprinted over in the corner.
Within four minutes of Haouas walking, Scotland had hit them with eight points. At last, they had found a ruthless streak.
The early minutes of the second half shone a light on how Scotland managed to put it all together on the day. Under ferocious pressure near their own line, they stood up. Big and bold, they would not let the French through, Watson coming up with a massive turnover.
Then they attacked, and France got well and truly Hogg-roasted. The captain took off from his own 10m line, arcing downfield before playing in Chris Harris, who galloped clear.
The centre had Price on his shoulder and when the scrum-half was hauled down in the France 22, the recycle was quick and the execution precise, Ritchie and Johnson sending Maitland in for his second score.
Hastings' conversion from the touchline was pin-sharp. The 15 men led the 14 men 21-7. The Slam had been slammed.
France rallied but the only joy they got from their pressure was three points from Jalibert, a penalty that was put over after they seemed to realise trying to bust the home defence for a try wasn't working out.
The third Scotland try came 15 minutes before the end. It was a fluke, but Murrayfield didn't care a whole lot about that.
Scotland had a line-out in the France 22 and McInally - on for 50-cap man Fraser Brown - had his throw pinched, but when the ball was diverted back on the France side, no visitor was able to collect it and the replacement hooker scooped up the gift and ran away to score. Hastings knocked over the conversion.
The Scots led by 28-10, a gap that narrowed to 11 when Ollivon battered his way over four minutes from time. Jalibert added the conversion, but he couldn't save the Slam.
A thunderous Scotland, with help from the fiery Haouas, had ripped it from their grasp.

The prime minister has said he will look at making defences more permanent as he visited a flood-hit town .
Boris Johnson visited Bewdley in Worcestershire , where the River Severn overtopped the flood defences during Storm Dennis last month .
One onlooker shouted `` traitor '' at the prime minister , while others posed for selfies with Mr Johnson on a bridge .
Earlier , the Treasury announced plans to double funding for flood defences in England over the next five years .
The money , due to be announced on Wednesday , will help to build 2,000 new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 336,000 properties in the country .
This year was the wettest February in the UK since records began in 1862 , with more than three times the average rainfall - as three successive storms left rivers bursting their banks and communities flooded .
In some of the worst-hit areas in the Midlands , Wales and south Yorkshire , homes and businesses flooded three times in a matter of weeks .
Last month , Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn branded Mr Johnson a `` part time prime minister '' who `` goes Awol '' during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he did not visit the flooded communities sooner as she was shown flood defences by the Environment Agency ( EA ) in Bewdley .
`` It 's too easy for a PM to come to a place in a middle of an emergency , it 's not so easy frankly for the emergency services , '' he said .
`` What I 've been doing since the flooding began is co-ordinating the national response but also looking at what we can do in the next months and years to ensure this country really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of flooding . ''
Mr Johnson received a mixed reaction as he spoke to residents affected by the floods and said he would `` get Bewdley done '' .
A number of people tried to shake his hand and take photos as he walked along the river bank .
But he was also told to `` do your job '' as he was given a demonstration of how flood barriers work .
The prime minister said he was `` so sorry to hear '' some homes had been flooded by as much as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the emergency services who responded when the water levels rose .
Mr Johnson said he had discussed with the EA `` what permanent defences we can put in and what 's the business case '' .
• In Pictures : Flood-hit areas in the Midlands The prime minister described the temporary barriers , such as those that were deployed in Bewdley and Ironbridge , as `` great bits of kit '' .
`` But when you have a big flood like that , they 're not going to be effective , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we have to look at are the rules which currently say that you ca n't put in permanent defences when you 've only got a small number of households potentially affected .
`` The case we need to make is it 's not just the number of households , it 's also the economic damage , it 's the damage to confidence , all the rest of it in the town . ''
Environment Secretary George Eustice visited Ironbridge and Shrewsbury , which were particularly badly hit , on 27 February and defended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Local Conservative MPs also stopped short of calling on the prime minister to visit the flooded areas , with Bewdley MP Mark Garnier saying a visit would have been nothing more than a `` photo opportunity '' .
Dave Throup , from the EA , said further heavy rain forecast for Monday and Tuesday meant there were further `` significant '' risks of flooding along the Severn next week .

bbcuk--2020-03-08--Labour Party: John McDonnell 'does not recognise' faction fight claim

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has said he `` does not recognise '' the claim that Jeremy Corbyn 's team wanted a `` faction fight '' in the Labour Party .
It comes after leadership hopeful Lisa Nandy said that some of Mr Corbyn 's team wanted to wage a `` factional war until the other side had been crushed '' .
Mr McDonnell said he disagreed , but added that there had always been `` a bit of a tussle '' between left and right .
Rebecca Long-Bailey and Keir Starmer are also running for leadership .
Speaking to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ms Nandy said she raised her concerns about `` faction fighting '' with the Labour leader before she quit his shadow cabinet in 2016 .
The Wigan MP joined a mass walkout of so-called `` moderate '' shadow ministers in 2016 , triggered by Labour 's poor European election performance and Mr Corbyn 's decision to sack Hilary Benn .
She insisted that she had tried , with a group of `` soft left '' MPs , to hold the team together at a meeting with Mr Corbyn and other senior figures .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Corbyn made her decide to quit as shadow energy secretary , she told the BBC 's political editor .
• Who will be Labour 's next leader ?
`` Some senior politicians in his own team , they made it very , very clear that they were going to continue to wage that factional war until the other side had been crushed , '' she said .
She said it was `` one thing '' to have backbenchers waging factional wars with colleagues but `` quite another thing to hear the leadership of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing that '' .
She added : `` It was n't Jeremy but there was no point at all at which he contradicted that . ''
Asked about the comments on the BBC 's Andrew Marr programme , Mr McDonnell said : `` We want to unite the party - I 'm sorry I just do n't recognise any of that , let 's just move on .
`` All of the three candidates have said they want to unite the party and look to the future , let 's do that .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ backing Mrs Long-Bailey for leader and Richard Burgon for deputy leader in the party 's leadership contest , said the party was `` doing our best '' in providing an effective opposition .
But he agreed that `` if there 's a lesson for the future , let 's have shorter leadership elections ... it 's a bit interminable , I accept that '' .
Asked about predictions that Labour faces disastrous local election results in May , Mr McDonnell said he is `` confident '' .

"Some senior politicians in his own team, they made it very, very clear that they were going to continue to wage that factional war until the other side had been crushed," she said.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said it is a `` privilege '' to manage his players as they completed the Premier League double over derby rivals Manchester City for the first time in a decade .
This thunderous encounter was a personal nightmare for Manchester City 's normally reliable Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson , who gifted Solskjaer 's side both goals in sharply contrasting fashion .

'It was a good performance', says Guardiola
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to BBC Match of the Day: "We played good, we missed a little in the final third but the second half was better and it was a good performance.

United are unbeaten in their last 10 games (W7 D3); their longest run without defeat since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first 11 games in charge.
This is the second time in Pep Guardiola's managerial career that he has suffered three defeats against a specific opponent in a single season (also versus Liverpool in 2017-18).
Anthony Martial is only the second United player to score in three consecutive Premier League starts in Manchester derbies, and the first since Eric Cantona netted in five in a row between March 1993 and April 1996.
Since making his debut in the competition on 1 February, United's Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in more goals in the Premier League than any other player (five - two goals and three assists).
Manchester City's Raheem Sterling became the fourth youngest player to reach 250 appearances in the Premier League, after Wayne Rooney, James Milner and Gareth Barry.
