Specialist officers from the Metropolitan Police | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
who deal with cases of Female Genital Mutilation, | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
are at airports in the these final days before Christmas, | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
trying to stop young girls from being taken abroad and forced | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
June Kelly has been at Heathrow with the team, | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Heathrow Airport and families have already started heading off for | :00:32. | :00:47. | |
Christmas. Sergeant Natalie Red Sea of the Metropolitan Police is | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
briefing colleagues, officers from the border force and charity | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
workers. This team are on the lookout for young girls who are | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
being taken to countries often in Africa and Middle East where female | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
genital mutilation is practised. Officers know that families can use | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
the Christmas holidays to take the child abroad for FGM. One campaigner | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
who works with the airport team says people have to know that FGM is | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
child abuse. She was cut as a six-year-old in Somalia. You're | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
going through psychological stuff and you are in pain constantly and | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
no one ever sits down to talk about what happened. It is done, that is | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
it, you have to move on after that. The team are concerned about one | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
youngster who has been taken out of school before the official end of | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
term. A phone call to the school confirms the mother's story as to | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
why they are travelling and they are finally allowed to board. This is | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
our last opportunity to engage with families before they fly off to | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
countries where FGM and other harmful practices might be conducted | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
in the school holiday period. A big part of this exercise is trying to | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
raise awareness of FGM. I don't think it should be practised on any | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
little girl, never ever, so I am so happy to see them around going to | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
make a campaign like this. The airport team will be back at | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Heathrow in the coming week. Just days after the government said | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
it was considering allowing local authorities to raise | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Council Tax to pay for social care, London councils says the cash | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
will do little to solve the long term problem - | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
with a former government minister Here's our political | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
editor, Tim Donovan. A rapidly rising population | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
is adding ever more to the bill for caring | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
for the capital's elderly. London councils say there is little | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
benefit in the government telling them this week they can raise more | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
council tax earlier than planned. This is not new money, | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
it is simply a shifting of money. That does not help us | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
address the total funding gap There are 150,000 people in our city | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
who require social care support. By 2020, London boroughs as a whole | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
will have an ?800 million funding Figures obtained by one MP | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
through a Freedom of Information request show substantial variations | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
in how much councils spend Richmond Council, for example, | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
devotes ?815 per week per elderly resident in their care, | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
but in say Lambeth or Greenwich, And there are particular | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
challenges in London, London is very expensive to live in, | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
so when you are working in a lower wage organisation, | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
it is very difficult to be able A former Liberal Democrat minister | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
has told us they now need What we really need is a radical | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
overhaul in the way that we paid I think what we need | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
now is a hypothecation, an earmarking of national insurance, | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
so that people know when they see their pay slip | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
that the money that is being paid for national insurance | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
is going towards their health care Pressure is now mounting | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
for a lasting formula The Armed Forces Charity, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
SSAFA which helps those who've served in the military - | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
is sending out volunteers to help homeless ex-servicemen and women | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
sleeping rough in central London. New boots, warm clothes and sleeping | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
bags were among some of the items It's thought it could be as many | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
as 20% of those who sleep rough A lot of veterans out there have | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
been left by the wayside. Some, due to their pride, | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
are not asking for help. We come into civilian life, we have | :04:50. | :05:03. | |
another set of rules to live by, After all the fog we've | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
