The French threaten to drive out the migrants from their huge encampment | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
at Calais. Where will they go? If other EU countries | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
won't allow these people in, does that mean the European | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
principle of open borders This Conservative former | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Police Minister says it's all proof As the Rotherham abuse scandal | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
ends in six convictions, are the authorities also | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
guilty of not having taken For the survivors, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
it's a day of justice. Today is the day that the world | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
knows that they were always We'll ask the prosecutor | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
and the local MP who was at fault. Also tonight, Donald | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
Trump keeps winning. We won with poorly-educated - | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
I love the poorly-educated. Can anything stop him, | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
the ultimate outsider, from capturing the Republican | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
party nomination? And what does American | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
feminist Gloria Steinem make Do you think that Hillary Clinton | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
is in trouble with this nomination? I mean, we are mostly raised | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
by women and we associate And I think that is especially hard | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
for many men. On the one hand, it's just | :01:30. | :01:41. | |
one contest of many - the primaries of the American | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
presidential election On the other hand, | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
it is perhaps the moment. The moment at which all | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
the doubters, all the commentators and, yes, America itself, | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
is starting to accept that Donald Trump may have just landed | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
himself in pole position to be the definitive Republican | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Presidential nominee. Has he seen off all of his | :02:06. | :02:15. | |
contenders? Not quite but it's becoming increasingly hard to see | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
how it could be anyone but him. Here is Emily Maitlis. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
He was meant to be the noisy one, the candidate that everyone loved | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
to talk about, that then went quietly | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
We won with poorly-educated - I love the poorly-educated! | :02:29. | :02:41. | |
Nevada makes three wins in a row for Donald Trump, | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
after New Hampshire and South Carolina. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
He won last night by a margin of 22%, a whopping 45.9% | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
And whilst the Republican establishment have been waiting | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
for him to disappear in a puff of smoke, | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
many are starting to understand he's now looking like he may take | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
the race all the way to the White House. | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
At this point, it will be surprising if anybody but Trump wins more | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
He has a fair to good shot in almost every state that is voting. | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
He is not likely to win them all, but he is likely to win | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
So, Super Tuesday could be the next in his string of victories. | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
In second and third place were Marco Rubio, | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
the Florida senator on 24%, and the Texas senator, | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
This, you see, is where things get confusing. | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
The field may have narrowed, there is no longer a Jeb | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Bush in the race or a Chris Christie, but their votes don't | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
appear to be going to more a mainstream candidate. | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
They are, in other words, tussling with each other, | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
And, increasingly, it is not just about sentiment or vocal support, | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
it is about the maths and that is where things get tricky. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Trump has the lion's share of delegates from the first four | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
On Super Tuesday the 11 states in play will divide those delegates | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
Trump is believed to only be at risk of losing two | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Super Tuesday states, Arkansas and Texas. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
With Ted Cruz, that evangelist ideologue leading, if Trump comes | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
If Cruz can't win his home state of Texas, | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
you can pretty much consider it game over for him. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Perhaps the curious thing is this: Donald Trump has | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
morphed himself from a political insider, who was cosy | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
with the establishment, into an unofficial defender | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
He tells desperate people what they want to hear, | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
Sadly, we are in a post-factual era, facts don't matter as much | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
You can say pretty much anything you want and if there | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
is a controversy, you create another one | :05:11. | :05:11. | |
It takes someone who really understands the media, | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
and particularly social media, to do what Trump has done. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
It's amazing and more than a little frightening. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
As any long-term watcher of the US election cycle will tell you, | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
a candidate doesn't have to believe what they say at this, | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
the primary stage of the race, they have to make sure there is enough | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
room for manoeuvre to take it to the country as a whole. | :05:33. | :05:44. | |
With me now are Ken Adelman, who has served in several Republican | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
administrations and was a close adviser to Ronald Reagan. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
And Chris Henick who was an adviser to President George W Bush. | :05:51. | :06:02. | |
Ken Adelman, I will start with you. This man has energised a lot of | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
people, he has romped through the primaries, what is not like? What is | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
not to like is what he says. Is not pleasant strain in American history | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
of the know nothing strain, we saw it with Huey Long and George Wallace | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
and we see it from time to time and it appears to all of the worst | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
instincts in the American character. Hate the foreigner, unit, just have | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
a prejudice against individuals. Tell people how much they are | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
suffering and they don't even realise how much they are suffering | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
and it's those stupid people in Washington, the jerks who are | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
selling them down the river. It's kind of a modern version, or a | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Democratic version, of the stab in the back we saw in World War II, | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
World War I. Chris Henick, presumably you don't | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
buy that? For people on the side of the Atlantic who may have concluded | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
he is a buffoon, what would you say is the substance to the man? Frankly | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
the supposition before yesterday was that Donald Trump had a ceiling of | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
roughly 30, 30 2%, but as your story just said he completely blew through | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
that -- 32%. From my perspective it's less about the candidate and | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
his voters and what they are trying to tell us. If you look at the | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
invisible primary where the dual issue of trade and unfair trade as | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
well as illegal immigration, all of the exit polls show just the | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
opposite. They shared national security, the economy, as well as | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
government spending. All of those were up around 30% in all three | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
states we have had, and immigration is coming in at 10% in South | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
Carolina, 12% in New Hampshire. A lot of this is new. To see exactly | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
what the social and great economic divide is in America right now, its | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
families under $1000 in income, they are trying to send Washington a | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
signal, over six out of ten voters voted for a nonpolitician, so just | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
the opposite is what the Republican primary voters are telling us. Chris | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Henick, do you think he can have a similarly energising effect on the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
right to the one that Barack Obama had in terms of getting people to | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
the polls who would not normally go? The only similarity I see right now | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
is how well he is looking in demographics. Blessed are the | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
educated, or whatever, he's going through all of those segmentation is | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
in polling and seeing how well he's doing. Somewhat similar to what | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Barack Obama did in history election, a demographic and pain and | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
less geographic. For now, from a political science standpoint it's | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
pretty fascinating to see how he is running in the tables. We have a big | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
day next Tuesday, 567 delegates, there is still a sense in Texas, | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
where Texas omitted Ted Cruz is on the ballot and Marco Rubio coming up | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
in Florida on March 15. Both of those candidates want to have a long | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
run with Trump but they are let to have their advantage -- yet to have | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
their advantage. The Republican party has had | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
challenges over the recent years, the tea party and the radicalisation | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
of the party by the tea party. Does Trump mark a new stage in this? Is | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
it still going to be the same party you were serving all the years ago | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
in the White House if this man gets the nomination? Would you still feel | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
proud to call yourself a Republican? I am a Republican but I wouldn't be | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
practical so fake Trump republican and I think he would bust up the | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Republican party and make it a know nothing party like before. Chris was | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
very good at telling you the issues that are coming up and what people | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
think, but I would make the assertion that Trump's appeal isn't | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
on issues, he doesn't understand any issues, as far as I can tell, except | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
resentment and rage. And emotional outpouring, that those guys are | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
really screwing us, we have to stop them and you don't know how bad you | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
are. You've used the phrase know nothing a couple of times. Do you | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
think in a Trump White House the smart folks would soon get him under | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
control, or do you genuinely worry what it might mean for world peace, | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
or the US economy, to have him in there? | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
I haven't spent ten seconds thinking about that because when you look at | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
the flow of American history over the last 75, 100 years, you realise | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
there are only two elections where an extremist has been nominated. Was | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
1964 with Harry Goldwater on the Republican side and 1968 with George | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
McGavin on the Democratic side. It is very rare to have an extremist | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
nominated. And secondly, is very rare to have an extremist | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
happened in those two macro instances, they got trounced, they | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
got absolutely demolished. Their party, the Republicans in six D4 and | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Democrats in 68, just got absolutely beat. -- 64. Chris is right when you | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
look at the numbers and all of that, but there will be thousands of | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
people running this year for senators, for governors, state | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
representatives, mayors and older men. With Trump at the top of their | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
ticket they are going to be sunk as well. | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
We await all of those various polls with interest. Ken Adelman and Chris | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Henick, thank you for joining us. Last year the scale of child sex | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
abuse in Rotherham was starkly laid out in an official report - | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
it found that at least 1,400 children had been | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
abused over 16 years. And the report also found police had | :12:04. | :12:04. | |
"regarded many child Well, today, justice began to be | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
served in this sorry tale. In the first trial held | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
since those revelations, a gang of four men and two women, | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
including three brothers, have been convicted of serious child | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
sexual abuse crimes. Alison Holt has been | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
following the trial. Rotherham in South Yorkshire, a town | :12:27. | :12:47. | |
where young lives have been destroyed by sexual exploitation, | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
where families have been torn apart by crimes ignored for too long. Only | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
with today's convictions can the full story begins to be told. | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
Jessica, not her real name, was one of 15 young women who gave evidence | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
at the trial. I first met Ash just after my 14th birthday and I was | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
mentally and physically and sexually abused for two macro years. He was | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
violent towards me, and there were times I thought he was going to kill | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
me. Ash is Hachette is a common who began abusing her in 1999. The court | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
was told he was the leader of a violent criminal gang dealing in | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
drugs and girls and he operated with his brothers. Their uncle was | :13:35. | :13:46. | |
convicted of conspiracy to rape. They were very powerful for a long | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
time. They had connections within the police, within the council, they | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
totally dominated Rotherham. One of the pimping networks being | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
highlighted by this Leeds charity in the early to thousands was the same | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
Phil Mack. The three brothers threatened anyone who got in their | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
way. Threats to the girl, if you don't do what I tell you I will | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
break your mum and burn your house, threats to families have often | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
happened. Our worker who was there had threats against her, they would | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
phone of the family and they would say they know that woman is there | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
again and we have seen her car. The information the parents support | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
worker collected about the men and their associates was passed to the | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
police. She was forever collecting phone numbers, car registration | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
numbers, locations of where things happened. She knew about the use of | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
drugs. And this was recorded, and this was handed over, but actually | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
elicited virtually no response. Local headlines in 2003 showed the | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
brothers had convictions for drugs, violence and intimidation. And | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
documents obtained by the BBC detailed a high risk conference | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
about Asher same two years before that. The probation service said he | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
had been actively involved in befriending and targeting young | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
teenage girls and had possible links to child prostitution in Rotherham. | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
Minutes from a multi-agency meeting described him as representing a high | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
risk of harm to the public. This document describes Ash Hussein is a | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
classic pimping controls young girls and also says the police are making | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
no ongoing checks and that there is no hard evidence of any offence for | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
them to pursue. I think we need to have a catch-up this afternoon. At | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
that time Doug Whiteman and Jayne Senior worked at the risky business | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
youth project in Rotherham. The team was also pulling together | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
information about the sames which was also going to the police. We had | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
been collecting information since 1999. Lots of information. Enough | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
information for them to have been arrested? I believe so, yes. Or at | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
least investigated. A report setting out the links between more than 50 | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
girls in Rotherham and the brothers were sent to the police and council | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
in 2002. It was written by Adele Gladman. She was safeguarding issues | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
for a number of years and I don't think I've ever in counted the | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
number of sadism and torture and sheer cruelty that we were | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
encountering. Against children. They were being allowed to do it | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
completely unchallenged summer and I think that definitely gave them a | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
feeling of invincibility. The report was suppressed. Jim | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
Stevens also raised the issue directly with the authorities. | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
Again, there was no real action. For these men to be taken off the | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
streets at last will send out a very, very important message to | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
other potential perpetrators because there was a feeling up until | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
recently that the Hussains and other groups of perpetrators in Rotherham | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
were untouchable. They were raped by multiple perpetrators... In 2014, a | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
report by Professor Alexis Jay estimated more than 1,400 children | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
had been sexually exploited in Rotherham over 16 years. Her report | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
said because gangs like the Hussains were of Pakistani origin and most of | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
the victims were white, the authorities shied away from the | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
issue. Do you think the Pakistani community | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
has a problem? A distant relative of the Hussains | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
thinks straight-talking is what is needed. These sort of men have a | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
very negative and, in many cases, racist attitude towards white young | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
girls. They view them as worthless, they view them as commodities that | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
can be traded and that they can be abused in this abhorrent sort of | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
way. For too long, as a society, as a Pakistani community, we have | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
turned a blind eye to these sorts of crimes. Now across Rotherham, | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
police, the council and local communities say they are working | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
together. There are ongoing investigations into a number of | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
South Yorkshire Police officers, the force says it wouldn't be | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
appropriate to comment on them, but the area's Police and Crime | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
Commissioner believes generally attitudes have changed. That older | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
perception, which is where it all went wrong, that these were young | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
people who were out of control, wouldn't listen to authority, asking | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
for it, slags, slappers, we have heard all that in the past. | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
Hopefully, that is all now gone and the victims now are seen as victims | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
and as children. And today's convictions couldn't be more | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
important for the girls who have survived the abuse and those who | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
have supported them. Everybody needs to recognise the signs of abuse and | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
act on it, and deal with victims in a proper way. These are people's | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
lives. It is a day of justice. Today is the day that the world knows that | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
they were always telling the truth. They are going to be believed, that | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
what they said years ago was happening to them, it happened. | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
That's the message that many in Rotherham needed to help them | :19:29. | :19:29. | |
believe that there is real change. Joining me now is Sarah Champion, | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
MP for Rotherham, and Nazir Afzal, former lead on child sexual abuse | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
and Chief Crown Prosecutor Nazir Afzal, if I could start with | :19:38. | :19:52. | |
you? What is the single biggest lesson that you draw from this case? | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
There are so many lessons. We have lesson that you draw from this case? | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
poor leadership, we have poor processes, we have the active | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
discouragement of children, preventing them from reporting. We | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
have pretty much everybody responsible for safeguarding let | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
them down. That was because of the culture that existed at the time, | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
namely that children who came from troubled or chaotic backgrounds | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
wouldn't be believed, or a jury wouldn't believe them. I recognised | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
that when I dealt with Rochdale. If we didn't act upon the information | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
they provided, they would be subjected to abuse for decades and | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
what we found in Rotherham is that these, this abuse has been going on | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
for 20 or 30 years and people have been turning a blind eye. Was | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
ethnicity a factor in that, can I ask you? I have given evidence to | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Parliament, I have said it many times, and I will say it again. The | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
ethnicity of the perpetrators is an issue here. As Mohammed said in the | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
report. Many people haven't been talking about it because of | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
political correctness or because they don't want to give the | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
far-right more ammunition. These men were getting away with it because | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
they thought they could, because people were not listening to these | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
young girls when they were talking about the abuse they were suffering. | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
There should be no excuse at all for allowing it to happen. There can be | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
no excuse. The reality is, however, that today there are children being | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
abused up-and-down the country. Sarah Champion, on that point, about | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
the political correctness going mad, how significant a barrier was that, | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
do you think, in getting to grips with the full horror of what had | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
been going on here? For me, I can't comprehend it. These are child | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
abusers, I don't care what colour they are, what race they are. I | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
don't understand why the people who were paid to protect those children | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
didn't see it in that way. I know that both from the two independent | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
reports, the Jay report, and the Casey report, they both said that | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
was a factor. I don't understand in today's society, when children are | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
being abused, why being embarrassed that you might cause someone a | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
"Pakistani abuser" rather than a "child abuser" that that is a factor | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
now. We have to address that. Why did it take so long to build | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
prosecutable cases in this matter? I mean, I left the Service when | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
Rotherham was about to get to the point of prosecution. Certainly, | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
Rochdale is a good example. The others I dealt with after Rochdale. | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
It was a view that this was too difficult. These young girls would | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
never be believed by a jury, that they may not even come to court. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
That was nonsense. It was certainly the prevailing view that it was too | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
difficult, when it was very easy, the legal system, courts, | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
prosecutors, police officers, can do everything they can to make that | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
experience better for the witnesses. We have learnt that now. That wasn't | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
the case before 2011/12. And now we have a situation where I would hope | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
that you will get many more of these successful prosecutions. Certainly, | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
people just seem to think it was too difficult to do and they didn't do | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
it. Successful prosecutions, clearly, send a message. In terms of | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
your community, there are 26 officers who have been served with | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
notice of potential prosecutions, how do you deal with that if you | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
like, the clearing up of what's emerged from this case? Presumably, | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
many of these people still are functioning in the police and other | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
parts of the social services? That's the big problem that we need to | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
address now. (A), how come for so long, for decades, when these girls | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
were desperately trying to get their cases heard were they ignored? How | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
do we now make sure that when people want to come forward, they have | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
trust in the police, they have trust in the council, that they will be | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
listened to. And to be honest, until the IPCC does its investigation, | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
makes its findings and rules for or against some of the officers that | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
are being investigated at the moment, I don't know how people can | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
have that faith, so I urge them to hurry up and let's draw a line under | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
this and move forward. I want to ask you both about moving forward, about | :24:08. | :24:16. | |
the future. Cuts in policing, CPS, do you think this blunts or inhibits | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
the effort to stop this happening again, or is it just not material in | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
this case? Also cuts to local authorities. The services that we | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
are looking forward to get justice and to prevent and protect our most | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
vulnerable are working within a limited resource at the moment. | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
People are having to make choices. They have to protect our most | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
vulnerable. Can I ask you on that, does this show the system worked or | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
is it in jeopardy? The system is working and getting better. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
Mandatory reporting is essential. I delivered a 30% cut in my budget. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
The numbers of the prosecutions we were bringing were increasing. You | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
can do it if you work together. Thank you both very much. Back to | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
that migration story. Are the wheels starting | :25:05. | :25:06. | |
to come off Shengen - that agreement of free movement | :25:07. | :25:07. | |
between member states? Tonight, European cohesion | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
is looking increasingly fragile as the various countries within it | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
grapple with how to deal Earlier, Hungary's prime minister | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
offered his country a referendum on whether the EU should be able | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
to impose a migrant quota upon them. In Vienna talks currently | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
were attempting to coordinate border And on the ground, border guards | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
are patrolling the frontier between Belgium and France - | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
an almost forgotten sight Gabriel Gatehouse has been | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
monitoring the developments from Dunkirk to Calais and joins us | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
live from there now. There were extraordinary scenes at | :25:51. | :26:03. | |
the borders of Europe today and in capitals, in Greece, on the | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
Greek-Macedonian border, we saw migrants holding babies, blocking | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
motorways, demanding access to Central Europe. The Greek Migration | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
Minister said there was a mini humanitarian crisis going on in his | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
country. The Austrians unilaterally deciding to restrict migration | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
heavily along with some of their Balkan neighbours, at a meeting to | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
which Greece wasn't even invited, the country that is struggling under | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
the largest number of migrants. Austria and Germany trading | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
accusations and now here, on the north-west corner of Europe, we have | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
got the Belgians patrolling their border with France. The border isn't | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
closed but this certainly isn't Schengen. Mark, the bonds that hold | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Europe together are being strained by this issue of migration. Quickly, | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
you have been among the people in the camps for the past couple of | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
days, do they think they will be imminently pushed out of there? What | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
is their mood? They do. We can see them flitting across the road here | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
as I speak, police behind me, shining flash lights into the | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
bushes, the French are saying seek asylum here, go to registered asylum | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
centres. They don't want to do that. They are looking for impromptu | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
settlements, and there is another one near Dunkirk, another Jungle, if | :27:22. | :27:23. | |
you like, and I spent the day there. If you thought the Calais Jungle | :27:24. | :27:44. | |
looked grim, try this. This site is on the outskirts of Dunkirk. People | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
live here, thousands of them. And soon, there could be many more. 25 | :27:50. | :27:57. | |
miles down the coast from here, the residents of the Jungle are waiting | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
for a magistrate to decide their fate. It seems likely that that camp | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
will eventually be bulldozed. And then what? Quite a lot - in October | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
of last year, there were 400 people on the site. There are now something | :28:14. | :28:21. | |
in the region of 3,000. I don't know what happened in court | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
yesterday. No decision. | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
There was no decision. It will probably come in next 48 | :28:31. | :28:37. | |
hours. When it does, we don't know where people expect such a large | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
number of refugees to go. At the moment, all of those people share 42 | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
toilets between them. That is about one toilet for every 70 people. | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
Toilets that often malfunction, sewage seeping out into the mud. | :28:52. | :28:58. | |
No good. No good, yeah. Somebody else put it to me a little earlier, | :28:59. | :29:06. | |
they said compared to this place, Calais looks like a Butlin's holiday | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
camp. The reality is, that when the Jungle getting closed, most of those | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
people will probably end up here, or places like this. | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
Amid the squalor, there is a spirit of resilience, a new Dunkirk spirit, | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
you might call it, minus, of course, the one crucial element - the | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
flotilla of boats to take people across the Channel. | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
As any parent knows, getting your kids to put their shoes on can be a | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
struggle. But when your home is a tiny patch of tent, floating on a | :29:39. | :29:52. | |
sea of mud, well... These girls' father used to be a policeman in | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
northern Iraq. We are looking for a normal life. I think England is | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
good. People there respect you. For me, it is too late. I'm about | :30:02. | :30:07. | |
38-years-old, but I am looking for a life for my children. What about | :30:08. | :30:15. | |
trance? -- France? France, you see. There is nothing here. That is life. | :30:16. | :30:16. | |
Nothing. Ali is an Iraqi Kurdistan under | :30:17. | :30:26. | |
Saddam Hussein he fled to the UK but after the invasion Ali went back | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
home full of hope for the future. It's a decision he bitterly regrets | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
now as his country tears itself apart. How are you going to get to | :30:35. | :30:42. | |
England? With two small children? You have to go and try. Your hide | :30:43. | :30:48. | |
the children in the truck? I tried to or three times but the ship | :30:49. | :30:54. | |
control arrested me. It is not dangerous? It is too dangerous, it | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
is dangerous. Are you worried for your daughters? Like I told you in | :31:01. | :31:08. | |
the sea when we came to the place from Turkey you see people die. | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
Maybe you will die, maybe you will not die, but if you stay in your | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
country you will die, that is why you run, to have the chance. A short | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
drive up the coast lies Belgium. In anticipation of more people on the | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
move Brussels has introduced controls on the French border. The | :31:29. | :31:33. | |
police are checking trucks and vans, any migrants are sent back to | :31:34. | :31:40. | |
France. This may not look like much of a border post, but the fact that | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
these guys are here at all tells you something, and that is that when it | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
comes to the issues of migrants and refugees it's not co-operation | :31:50. | :31:55. | |
that's at the forefront everyone's mind in Europe, it's every country | :31:56. | :31:59. | |
for its self. The medical charity MSF are building a new mud free camp | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
just up the road, where they hope to rehouse most of the residents of the | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
Dunkirk Swamp but there will not be room for the overspill from a | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
bulldozed Jungle. The police are trying to discourage any further | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
expansion of the makeshift camp at Grande-Synthe. Anyone coming in is | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
searched, building materials are confiscated, but they are fighting a | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
losing battle. The network of volunteers who run this camp know | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
what is coming and so they are preparing, using branches and | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
pallets and cable ties, whatever they can get their hands on. This is | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
probably not what the developers had in mind when they advertised their | :32:40. | :32:45. | |
eco-quarter. It is certainly not what Europe's leaders in Visic when | :32:46. | :32:50. | |
they signed the Schengen agreement. Gabriel Gatehouse in the Jungle. -- | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
envisaged. Joining me now is Damian Green, | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
former Minister of State for Immigration and Minister | :32:58. | :32:59. | |
for Policing, Criminal Justice Very well qualified to discuss the | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
Jungle issue. You have the Conservative Party actively talking | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
about the end of ever closer union as a theoretical proposition, at its | :33:11. | :33:15. | |
ending as we watch in reality across Europe. Ever closer union was a | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
thrust towards a United States of Europe which Britain never signed up | :33:21. | :33:23. | |
to and explicitly thanks to David Cameron is now out of. There is | :33:24. | :33:29. | |
clearly a crisis in the Schengen system, and the ability of other | :33:30. | :33:35. | |
countries, we have never joined it, we are an island and we've always | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
wanted to have border posts so we have control of our own borders and | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
others didn't. There are clearly risks in that. The fact of this | :33:43. | :33:51. | |
unprecedented refugee crisis, unprecedented since the Second World | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
War, has put on the strains you have seen in those films. Everybody is | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
going their own way, the Austrians hosted a meeting saying they will | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
put a cap on the number of asylum seekers they will take and knock on | :34:04. | :34:06. | |
down the line to Greece which people are talking about sealing off. This | :34:07. | :34:10. | |
is everyone in Europe going their own way, the subsidiarity of the | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
most muscular and unpredicted kind, isn't it? And not in an organised | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
way. The problem is the countries inside Schengen haven't been able to | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
agree a strategy on this. To some extent, and it's not easy it is | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
difficult to blame people when they are faced with, as I say, this | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
unprecedented crisis. But I think more of them should frankly have | :34:33. | :34:36. | |
taken a lead from Britain, where our policy has been to pour money into | :34:37. | :34:42. | |
the areas immediately around Syria, the countries immediately around | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
Syria, and actually try and make conditions as good as possible there | :34:46. | :34:51. | |
so that people don't feel compelled to make this very dangerous sea | :34:52. | :34:57. | |
journey, that may end up in Belgium or France. One other aspect in this | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
in the way that Britain and the referendum does or does not | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
interlock with this is the question of contagion. People in Brussels | :35:07. | :35:10. | |
have talked about this for the past year or two. They are concerned that | :35:11. | :35:14. | |
other countries if Britain had a referendum would in some way see | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
this as a starting gun. Lo and behold today we have Viktor Orban, | :35:19. | :35:21. | |
the Hungarian Prime Minister, saying they are going to have a referendum | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
on whether or not to take quotas in their country and other countries, | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
even the Netherlands are talking about it possible more widely drawn | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
agenda. It is having an effect, the British example, across Europe. | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
Having a referendum on a specific policy area is not at all and are | :35:39. | :35:46. | |
just. But the Dutch. I don't think the Dutch government is talking | :35:47. | :35:51. | |
about it yet. I think the root of it needs to be that people who are in | :35:52. | :35:59. | |
the Schengen system doesn't include us if they want to survive they will | :36:00. | :36:03. | |
have to act collectively and if not they will invoke emergency measures | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
in many countries and it will probably be suspended. The big Read | :36:07. | :36:11. | |
a cross for us is what is happening in the camps that we saw and it | :36:12. | :36:17. | |
seems to me because we have border controls in Calais, our border is | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
much better protected than it would be if we had our border back in | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
Dover, which it was only 15 years ago. There is no given that we have | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
border controls in Calais. In that context do you agree with the Prime | :36:31. | :36:34. | |
Minister when he said would find thousands of people potentially | :36:35. | :36:38. | |
coming overnight if Britain to leave? Or was that just | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
scaremongering? We could do, we signed the treaty with France as two | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
member states of the European Union, two friendly countries that work | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
together very well in northern France in trying to control this | :36:53. | :36:55. | |
very difficult situation, particularly people trying to get on | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
trucks. We spend money on security and so on. Who benefits most from | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
that? We do. The French ambassador was on this programme is bad Wedge | :37:04. | :37:07. | |
was asked what France gets from this she struggled to say what the | :37:08. | :37:13. | |
benefits were for France. It seems they would be enormous pressure on | :37:14. | :37:16. | |
France if Britain pulled out of the European Union to say, you know | :37:17. | :37:19. | |
what, if the Brits want to get out of Europe they can have their own | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
border controls back. A lot of those people would find it easier to get | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
to Britain if we didn't have border controls in | :37:27. | :37:27. | |
to Britain if we didn't have border get a Dover and they would have the | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
right to claim asylum here. Damian Green, thank you. One thing | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
is for sure the question of border controls and the future of Schengen | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
is bound to be with us for months to come. | :37:40. | :37:41. | |
You're a feminist or a masochist - so says Gloria Steinem, | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
one of the most influential - and outspoken - feminists over | :37:45. | :37:46. | |
She's never shied away from controversy, dedicating her | :37:47. | :37:57. | |
most recent book, My Life On The Road to the man | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
of 22, allowing her to live a life of activism. | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
Emily Maitlis sat down to talk to her. | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
Do you think when you step back the feminist movement is in good health? | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
Yes, it is in good health. For instance, to speak for my country it | :38:18. | :38:21. | |
is a major IT movement, it is no longer 20 crazy ladies, which is | :38:22. | :38:22. | |
what we were. In the beginning | :38:23. | :38:24. | |
we were regarded as very odd. Now all of the fundamental issues, | :38:25. | :38:27. | |
of equality, including reproductive issues, | :38:28. | :38:29. | |
are majority issues. And that's true in many, if not | :38:30. | :38:40. | |
most, countries. And we are a global movement. We are very connected with | :38:41. | :38:43. | |
each other across boundaries. How do you critique | :38:44. | :38:51. | |
of modern feminism now? When you look at the, if you like, | :38:52. | :39:00. | |
the new role models, is Beyonce a good role | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
model for young women? She's a fine role model for anybody. | :39:06. | :39:07. | |
She's a fine role model for me. It's about supporting | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
each other in what we do best and what our dreams are, | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
and how we feel about women It's not about sitting around | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
and criticising who is a proper Does it become, therefore, | :39:18. | :39:20. | |
harder for you to criticise women because you think that | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
that is a betrayal of feminism? No, it's perfectly easy | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
for me to say Sarah Margaret Thatcher | :39:30. | :39:31. | |
was a disaster. You know, people were | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
still putting milk at her funeral because she cut off | :39:38. | :39:46. | |
the milk for children. The point is not to get | :39:47. | :39:48. | |
a job for one woman, it's to make life | :39:49. | :39:51. | |
better for women and And when you look at, for example, | :39:52. | :39:53. | |
choosing a presidential nominee, does that strike | :39:54. | :40:02. | |
you as something that should be Of course it's a feminist issue, | :40:03. | :40:04. | |
regardless of who it is. If they were Martians it | :40:05. | :40:09. | |
would be a feminist issue, because it depends | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
on their position on issues. Do you think that | :40:13. | :40:14. | |
Hillary Clinton is in Probably. | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
It's deep. We're mostly raised | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
by women and we associate And I think that is | :40:22. | :40:23. | |
especially hard for many men who feel regressed | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
when they see a powerful woman. They haven't seen | :40:31. | :40:39. | |
one since they were So, there is a lot of deep | :40:40. | :40:40. | |
feeling that it's just not right somehow, that it's | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
against the feminine-masculine emotional because we are | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
associated with childhood. Hillary Clinton has undergone | :40:51. | :41:00. | |
more concentrated hatred on campus when she ran for President | :41:01. | :41:07. | |
before there were young white men wearing T-shirts that said "Too bad | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
OJ didn't marry Hillary." But we've seen recently | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
the older feminists getting into trouble, Germaine Greer | :41:14. | :41:19. | |
on the transgender question. Can a man who undergoes a biological | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
change ever really call And her sense that actually | :41:24. | :41:25. | |
it was about cultural conditioning Where do you stand | :41:26. | :41:33. | |
on the whole issue? If you want to define yourself | :41:34. | :41:39. | |
and I want to define myself we have to let other | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
people define themselves. It is just clear that | :41:44. | :41:46. | |
we have to do that. So, Caitlyn Jenner, | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
to all intents and purposes, She is able to define | :41:50. | :41:51. | |
herself, just as I am. It's not a simple | :41:52. | :41:59. | |
question for onlookers. For instance, we had a well | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
reported case of a woman, a very accomplished woman, | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
who considered herself to be Because she had African-American | :42:07. | :42:08. | |
siblings, I think, and had been living as an African-American | :42:09. | :42:27. | |
and growing up, and there was a lot of discomfort around that | :42:28. | :42:30. | |
on the part of African-Americans. So I can understand | :42:31. | :42:33. | |
there is discomfort, but the rock bottom | :42:34. | :42:35. | |
is we have to accept Evan's here tomorrow - | :42:36. | :42:48. | |
until then, goodnight. | :42:49. | :42:53. |
