:01:53. > :01:56.Compiling reliable figures is complex, but there's been a big

:02:00. > :02:02.The number of offences rose by 10% in the year to March -
:02:03. > :02:08.Violent offences increased by 18% and there was also more
:02:09. > :02:14.Domestic burglary cases were up by 6%.
:02:15. > :02:17.Part of the increase can be explained by better recording

:03:05. > :03:10.It's sometimes been an unreliable measure, but all the same,
:03:11. > :03:13.government statisticians think the fall in crime of recent
:03:14. > :03:16.years may be on the turn, even if the headline figure
:03:17. > :03:22.A large part of that volume increase, in violence especially,
:03:23. > :03:26.is due to improved recording, rather than a genuine rise in crime.
:03:27. > :03:29.Having said that there are some categories of violence at the more
:03:30. > :03:33.serious end of the spectrum, like murder, attempted murder,
:03:34. > :03:37.knife crime and gun crime, where we think the rises are genuine

:03:47. > :03:50.or because the number of police officers is at its lowest
:03:51. > :03:55.level since 1985. I absolutely refuse to accept
:03:56. > :03:58.that there are economic reasons underpinning this.
:03:59. > :04:01.When it comes to funding, which I know people are concerned
:04:02. > :04:04.about, the facts are these - we are investing around
:04:05. > :04:09.?8.5 billion worth of public money, taxpayers' money,
:04:10. > :04:14.For more than two decades crime has basically been falling,
:04:15. > :04:17.but now police forces are having to face the real possibility
:04:18. > :04:21.that certain crimes are on the rise again.
:04:22. > :04:26.And that includes burglary of people's homes.
:04:27. > :04:31.Up here in east London, up 6% across England and Wales.
:04:32. > :04:37.The first thing is we tackle those who we know are
:04:38. > :04:43.The second thing is around our crime prevention piece,
:04:44. > :04:47.so we would encourage people to do the basics around crime prevention.
:04:48. > :04:49.So things like locking doors and windows at
:04:50. > :04:55.Crime figures aren't easy to interpret.
:04:56. > :04:58.A separate official survey of people's personal experiences
:04:59. > :05:03.still suggests crime overall is falling, but that survey tends
:05:04. > :05:20.Daniel, how much can we rely on these figures? I think the office
:05:21. > :05:23.for National Statistics thinks they are now reliable. Normally, if you
:05:24. > :05:28.were looking at these long-term trends committee would tend to look
:05:29. > :05:32.at the giant opinion poll known as the crime survey of England and
:05:33. > :05:35.were. That gives you a good idea about how crime is changing over
:05:36. > :05:38.five or ten years, but is in very good at reacting at the moment the
:05:39. > :05:43.trend is actually stopped going down and maybe start going up. That's why
:05:44. > :05:46.the statisticians are looking at the recorded crime figures, recorded by
:05:47. > :05:50.police forces, and although those have changed a lot in recent years
:05:51. > :05:53.and police are desperately trying to record more crimes that are reported
:05:54. > :05:58.to them, there is a sense amongst the statisticians when they peel
:05:59. > :06:03.away or Wash peel away all of that they are seeing real rises in crime,
:06:04. > :06:08.particularly in violent crime. Are there any overarching reasons as to
:06:09. > :06:10.why there's been a rising crime? Criminologists have spent whole
:06:11. > :06:15.career is trying to work out what causes crime. There are social
:06:16. > :06:19.factors, people feeling disenfranchised, economic factors,
:06:20. > :06:21.people feeling they don't stake in society, things like drugs and
:06:22. > :06:26.frankly, fashions among young people. What makes this so political
:06:27. > :06:29.as it was the Prime Minister Theresa May who was Home Secretary, presided
:06:30. > :06:32.over these big cuts in police numbers. It's the current Home
:06:33. > :06:35.Secretary Amber Rudd who has gone on seeing the numbers falling to this
:06:36. > :06:41.moment we have today where we have the lowest numbers since 1985.
:06:42. > :06:44.That's allowed the opposition parties and Police Federation, which
:06:45. > :06:47.represents rank-and-file members, to say it's no coincidence that you
:06:48. > :06:51.have the lowest police numbers in 30 years and the biggest increases in
:06:52. > :06:55.crime in ten years. It's easy for them to say that it's very difficult
:06:56. > :06:58.for the government to say it's not true. Daniel, thank you, Daniel

:08:25. > :08:31.have only just started. Of course there are compromises
:08:32. > :08:33.to be made, but it's too Week two of Brexit talks have now
:08:34. > :08:41.ended with no major breakthrough The UK's so-called Brexit Bill,
:08:42. > :08:47.and the rights of EU citizens in the UK, and British expats
:08:48. > :08:51.in the EU. Key sticking points there -
:08:52. > :08:54.the UK wants to check the criminal record of all EU citizens wanting
:08:55. > :09:00.to stay, while the EU says UK expats would lose the right to move

:10:12. > :10:17.they believe the cost of the UK's outstanding commitments could be

:10:30. > :10:35.the European Union before, so think of this as the first
:10:36. > :10:37.divorce in history. How on earth do you calculate
:10:38. > :10:41.a possible bill to be paid? The British government did seem
:10:42. > :10:44.to concede last week that there would be debts to settle
:10:45. > :10:48.but then Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary,
:10:49. > :11:01.said Brussels should "go whistle" The sums that I have seen that they
:11:02. > :11:05.propose to demand from this country seems to me to be extortionate and I
:11:06. > :11:11.think go whistle is an entirely appropriate expression. I'm not
:11:12. > :11:13.hearing any whistling. Just the clock ticking.
:11:14. > :11:18.The EU's chief negotiator has never publicly put a number
:11:19. > :11:26.on the UK's exit bill, but unofficial estimates have ranged

:13:11. > :13:16.Michel Barnier is a bit more cautious. Where does the truth lie,
:13:17. > :13:19.do you think? We have to take a deep breath and realise we're just at the
:13:20. > :13:23.beginning of this process, so we can't expect too many huge leaps. We
:13:24. > :13:27.also have to think that we've moved quite fast in the last 12 months in
:13:28. > :13:32.the end. Think about emotional response of the Brexit vote in the
:13:33. > :13:37.UK, but also here in the EU. Both sides are sitting down and working
:13:38. > :13:40.through things, issue by issue, since the last few weeks from now.
:13:41. > :13:44.That's because both sides have realised they need a deal and they
:13:45. > :13:48.want a deal. Of course there are going to be bumps in the road. Some
:13:49. > :13:53.of them smaller, like we heard today, that UK citizens who remain
:13:54. > :13:55.in the EU won't be able to move from country to country, transferring
:13:56. > :14:00.their rights, but this isn't seen as a make or break issue. Much more
:14:01. > :14:10.difficult is the role of the European Court of Justice. The EU
:14:11. > :14:13.insists that when it comes to EU citizens' rights in the UK after
:14:14. > :14:15.Brexit it still has to solve disputes in the British government
:14:16. > :14:18.says no way. It's hard to see how they're going to get around that
:14:19. > :14:21.one. Normally in divorce as it's left to the lawyers and when it
:14:22. > :14:23.comes to trade agreement is the detail is left to technocrats, but
:14:24. > :14:28.Brexit is a highly politicised issue both in the UK and the EU and that

:25:48. > :25:52.A warm welcome for the fans, but not exactly for the players.
:25:53. > :25:54.A brisk breeze meant testing conditions for the early starters

:28:05. > :28:10.Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz is at Dali's Theatre Museum in Figueres
:28:11. > :28:16.This is the Salvador Dali Theatre Museum,
:28:17. > :28:20.a popular visitor attraction on the north-east coast of Spain,
:28:21. > :28:27.and tonight the site for a highly controversial exhumation.
:28:28. > :28:32.Underneath this blank stone slab in the middle
:28:33. > :28:34.of the theatre's glass-domed atrium, unbeknownst to most,
:28:35. > :28:43.lies Salvador Dali, the local artist who became a global superstar.
:28:44. > :28:47.It was his wish to be buried beneath the stage in his Dali World Museum,
:28:48. > :28:52.where he has lain in peace after his death in 1989.
:28:53. > :28:55.But tonight he is being exhumed on the instructions of a judge,
:28:56. > :28:58.in order to settle a paternity claim being made by Pilar Abel,
:28:59. > :29:04.a tarot card reader from a nearby town who says she is his love child.
:29:05. > :29:07.TRANSLATION: We have the testimony of the person who worked
:29:08. > :29:11.in a supermarket and delivered products to Salvador Dali.
:29:12. > :29:15.Dali paid this person to let him know what Pilar's mother was doing.
:29:16. > :29:23.There are more testimonies, but this one has been notarised.
:29:24. > :29:30.Behind me is the house that Salvador Dali created with his wife,
:29:31. > :29:33.Gala, and it is along this piece of coastline that Pilar Abel
:29:34. > :29:35.says her mother Antonia met the famous Spanish artist
:29:36. > :29:41.in the mid-1950s and started a clandestine affair.
:29:42. > :29:44.Salvador Dali was embalmed before he was buried by this man,
:29:45. > :29:48.who says tonight's excavation will be laborious.
:29:49. > :29:50.TRANSLATION: There are three parts to the process,
:29:51. > :29:53.the first is the technical one which is the lifting of the slab
:29:54. > :29:58.The second is the extraction of samples from the body
:29:59. > :30:01.of Salvador, probably from his teeth and bones.
:30:02. > :30:04.The third part is the laboratory tests esxtracting DNA
:30:05. > :30:12.If the DNA sample confirms Pilar Abel's claim to be Dali's
:30:13. > :30:16.daughter, she could be entitled to one quarter of his estate
:30:17. > :30:28.which is reported to be worth at least ?300 million.
:30:29. > :30:34.That is a lot of money and I am standing in front of the museum
:30:35. > :30:40.where the forensic team have been working for the last few hours. I am
:30:41. > :30:45.hearing they are reasonably close to finishing. There has been a media
:30:46. > :30:50.blackout, it is top secret. Only those who have to be there either
:30:51. > :30:55.there. They have even put a tent over the area so the drone cannot
:30:56. > :31:01.fly over and take pictures. We will maybe find out in September the
:31:02. > :31:06.result when this case is reviewed again. Whatever the upshot, it is
:31:07. > :31:10.fair to say that this has been a surreal incident in the art history

:31:20. > :31:29.is coming up on BBC Two. Tonight we have a fascinating report
:31:30. > :31:32.on what you might call next-generation CCTV that uses
:31:33. > :31:36.artificial intelligence and automatic face recognition and the
:31:37. > :31:38.security services are already testing it as a tool for hunting
