0:00:19 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to the Week In Parliament,

0:00:27 > 0:00:30coming up, Theresa May tells MPs Russian diplomats will be expelled

0:00:30 > 0:00:32after Moscow fails to give an explanation for the nerve agent

0:00:32 > 0:00:34attack in Salisbury.

0:00:34 > 0:00:43They've treated the use of military grade nerve agent with...

0:00:43 > 0:00:45The Labour leader condemns the attack, but he doesn't put

0:00:45 > 0:00:48the blame on the Russian government.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Our response must be decisive and proportionate and based on clear

0:00:51 > 0:00:51evidence.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54And YouTube gets a dressing down.

0:00:54 > 0:01:00This isn't about perfection, this is about you being the wrong person

0:01:00 > 0:01:04before this committee and not having a clue what you're talking about.

0:01:04 > 0:01:05But first...

0:01:05 > 0:01:09It was the first time a nerve agent had been used offensively in Europe

0:01:09 > 0:01:11since the Second World War and it happened on British soil.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14The attack on the former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury

0:01:14 > 0:01:18dominated the week in Parliament.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19On Monday afternoon, the Prime Minister came

0:01:19 > 0:01:21to the Commons to update MPs.

0:01:21 > 0:01:38It is now clear that Mr Scrip can -- Skripan and his daughter... Russia's

0:01:38 > 0:01:43record of conducting state-sponsored assassinations and our assessment

0:01:43 > 0:01:47that Russia views some defectors as legitimate targets for

0:01:47 > 0:01:51assassinations, the Government has concluded that it is highly likely

0:01:51 > 0:01:58that Russia was responsible for the act against them. She said there

0:01:58 > 0:02:00were two possibilities. Either this was a direct act by the Russian

0:02:00 > 0:02:06state against our country, or the Russian government lost control of

0:02:06 > 0:02:08its potentially catastrophically damaging nerve agent and allowed it

0:02:08 > 0:02:14to get into the hands of others. Angie demanded an escalation from

0:02:14 > 0:02:20Moscow.Should there be no credible response, we will assume that

0:02:20 > 0:02:30this... Jeremy Corbyn condemned the attack. The investigation into the

0:02:30 > 0:02:36events must reach its conclusions, we need to see both the evidence and

0:02:36 > 0:02:39a full account from the Russian authorities in light of emerging

0:02:39 > 0:02:45evidence that the Prime Minister has just referred to.The Labour leader

0:02:45 > 0:02:49turned to party funding, claiming there had been large donations from

0:02:49 > 0:02:56Russian oligarchs...We are all familiar with the way huge fortunes

0:02:56 > 0:03:00often acquired in the most dubious circumstances in Russia sometimes

0:03:00 > 0:03:05connected with criminal elements have ended up sheltering in London

0:03:05 > 0:03:11and trying to buy political influence in British party politics.

0:03:11 > 0:03:19Meddling in elections as the Prime Minister put it, there has been over

0:03:19 > 0:03:25£800,000 worth of donations to the Conservative Party from Russian

0:03:25 > 0:03:28oligarchs and their associates.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well, that febrile mood persisted when the Prime Minister returned

0:03:31 > 0:03:33to the despatch box on Wednesday.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35The deadline she'd set the Kremlin of midnight had

0:03:35 > 0:03:37passed without a response.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Theresa May set out the Government's position.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46They have treated the use of a military grade nerve agent in Europe

0:03:46 > 0:03:51with sarcasm, contempt and defiance. So Mr Speaker, there is alternative

0:03:51 > 0:03:55conclusion. Other than that the Russian state was culpable for the

0:03:55 > 0:04:05attempted murder of Mr and his daughter. Under the Vienna

0:04:05 > 0:04:10convention, we will expel 23 Russian diplomats who have been... They have

0:04:10 > 0:04:16just one week to leave. This will be the single biggest expulsion for

0:04:16 > 0:04:20over 30 years, and it reflects the fact that this is not the first time

0:04:20 > 0:04:24that the Russian state has acted against our country.The attack and

0:04:24 > 0:04:29Salisbury was an appalling act of violence. Nerve agents are

0:04:29 > 0:04:35abominable if used in any war, it is utterly reckless to use them in a

0:04:35 > 0:04:38civilian environment. Our response has to be both decisive and

0:04:38 > 0:04:42proportionate. And based on clear evidence.

0:04:45 > 0:04:52When it became clear that Jeremy Corbyn was not going to blame the

0:04:52 > 0:05:05gremlin...I couldn't understand a word...His behaviour demeans his

0:05:05 > 0:05:08office. There was a terse response by the Prime Minister.It was clear

0:05:08 > 0:05:13from the remarks that were made by backbenchers across the whole of

0:05:13 > 0:05:16this House on Monday that there is a consensus across the back benches of

0:05:16 > 0:05:23this House. I'm only sorry that the consensus does not go as far as the

0:05:23 > 0:05:33right honourable gentleman.

0:05:39 > 0:05:45Who could have taken the opportunity as the UK Government has done the

0:05:45 > 0:05:54contempt the culpability of the Russian state. -- to condemn.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Many on the Labour backbenches spoke out in support

0:05:56 > 0:05:58of Theresa May's action, including one MP who explicitly

0:05:58 > 0:06:00condemned his own leader's response.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Responding with strength and resolve your country is under threat is an

0:06:04 > 0:06:12essential component of political leadership. There is a Labour

0:06:12 > 0:06:16tradition that understands that. And it has been understood by prime

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Ministers of all parties who have stood at the despatch box.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Spokesmen from other parties expressed solidarity

0:06:21 > 0:06:22with the Government.

0:06:22 > 0:06:30There has to be a robust response of the use of terror on our streets. We

0:06:30 > 0:06:35must act in a measured way to show that we will simply not tolerate

0:06:35 > 0:06:41this behaviour.We welcome the decisive action that's been taken by

0:06:41 > 0:06:45the Prime Minister today it sits in contrast with the policy of

0:06:45 > 0:06:47appeasement that we've heard from the front backbench of the Labour

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Party.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51But it was a senior Conservative who emphasised the seriousness

0:06:51 > 0:06:54of the whole situation.

0:06:54 > 0:07:00It's just a question of expressing anger about Salisbury. This is

0:07:00 > 0:07:08actually a serious threat to the safety of the Western world, a

0:07:08 > 0:07:14lesson to do something together...

0:07:14 > 0:07:18In a newspaper article on Friday, Jeremy Corbyn warned against rushing

0:07:18 > 0:07:21into a new Cold War with Russia before there was conclusive evidence

0:07:21 > 0:07:25that Moscow was behind the nerve agent attack.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27He said police needed to confirm that the Russian mafia

0:07:27 > 0:07:31wasn't responsible.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Now, most of our legislation is made by the Government.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38But it is possible for individual MPs to change the law.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41And one way is through a Private Member's Bill.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45It was this humble type of bill that was responsible for some major

0:07:45 > 0:07:48social change in Great Britain in the 60s, the legalisation

0:07:48 > 0:07:54of abortion and the abolition of the death penalty for murder.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57More recently, a law to reduce homelessness and a ban on under-18s

0:07:57 > 0:08:01using sunbeds were the result of private members' bills.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05The best chance for MPs to bring in this kind of Bill is to finish

0:08:05 > 0:08:10high up in the ballot held at the start of every session.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14The ballot drop for private members bills in the present session is

0:08:14 > 0:08:20about to take place. 461 members enter the ballot this year. We now

0:08:20 > 0:08:26come to the members who get the first pick of the...

0:08:26 > 0:08:2920 names are chosen but generally only the top seven or so will get

0:08:29 > 0:08:31a day's debate on an allocated Friday.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Debating time is limited.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36And without government backing, there's little chance

0:08:36 > 0:08:39of a Bill becoming law.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Now, if you had a magnifying glass handy then, you may have spotted

0:08:42 > 0:08:45the name Angus MacNeil at the very top of that list.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48He's introducing a measure to allow the families of refugees to join

0:08:48 > 0:08:49them in this country.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52And earlier, I spoke to him.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56I began by asking why he'd chosen that subject.

0:08:56 > 0:09:01It's a subject that makes a difference in people's lives. In

0:09:01 > 0:09:04politics one of the things we should be doing is helping people. I think

0:09:04 > 0:09:10if all the people -- of all the peoples in the world who need help,

0:09:10 > 0:09:19refugees are those people. This bill...Very few backbenchers's Bill

0:09:19 > 0:09:24get through.They are held on a Friday, there's a lot of pressure on

0:09:24 > 0:09:32MPs to be away. Saying that, if they do get the MPs to be there, it

0:09:32 > 0:09:35should progress to the next edge. I am quite nervous about that because

0:09:35 > 0:09:40you can't take everything for granted. Having them on Friday is

0:09:40 > 0:09:46bad. It should be Wednesday or Thursday, given proper time. But

0:09:46 > 0:09:50there can be a variety of other reasons the Government decides their

0:09:50 > 0:09:56big hefty utility against private members bills. That could be a

0:09:56 > 0:10:02difficulty. Often, governments look for excuses not to do it, sometimes

0:10:02 > 0:10:06they wish they had thought of it themselves. Sometimes they wish it

0:10:06 > 0:10:10wasn't there. I hope the Government eventually wishes they thought of

0:10:10 > 0:10:12this themselves, I would be quite happy if the Government adapted this

0:10:12 > 0:10:20and didn't need to be done this way. Sometimes these bills fall because

0:10:20 > 0:10:24other MPs talk about, they just go on and on and so the Bill doesn't

0:10:24 > 0:10:27have enough time to get through. That's not a dignified way of

0:10:27 > 0:10:32getting rid of a bill that. Absolutely. The best way for that to

0:10:32 > 0:10:36be decided is on a boat.Some people don't like these bills. They are

0:10:36 > 0:10:43badly drafted and this is the reason why other MPs oppose them. You have

0:10:43 > 0:10:49to be careful there's no unintended consequences from these measures.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Absolutely, and also when people have something against the Bill,

0:10:51 > 0:11:07they will look in the detail and spin... Indeed, Thomas can make --

0:11:07 > 0:11:17commas can be quite important.Would like to see more backbench bills

0:11:17 > 0:11:21getting through?I think so. I think they have to be good in the first

0:11:21 > 0:11:23place, they have to commend support but they have to be given the time

0:11:23 > 0:11:26for that support. That is the difficulty of having private members

0:11:26 > 0:11:30bills on Friday. There are other days of the week when the Government

0:11:30 > 0:11:32and the business managers and Parliament are scraping around

0:11:32 > 0:11:37looking for a debate just filled the time. You could see with the

0:11:37 > 0:11:44publicity that this bill has generated, there is greater... Some

0:11:44 > 0:11:47of the things that have been debated on Wednesday or Thursday...Thank

0:11:47 > 0:11:52you.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55And Angus MacNeil was on his feet first thing on Friday to put

0:11:55 > 0:11:58the case for his bill in the Commons.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00And after three and a half hours, the Bill cleared its first

0:12:00 > 0:12:02hurdle in the Commons.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04But it'll face a trickier test when it comes under more

0:12:04 > 0:12:08detailed scrutiny by MPs.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11It used to be that cometh the spring, cometh the Budget.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15The full holding up the briefcase outside Number 11, how much a pint

0:12:15 > 0:12:18was going to be and a rabbit out of the fiscal hat.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20But that was in the old days, well, last year.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23It all changed when the Chancellor announced budgets were now

0:12:23 > 0:12:26to be autumnal affairs, with just a limited

0:12:26 > 0:12:28statement in the spring.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31So it was that Philip Hammond rose in the Commons on Wednesday

0:12:31 > 0:12:33with what he said would be a short statement.

0:12:33 > 0:12:41He began by characterising his mood.

0:12:41 > 0:12:52If their are any in the chambers, there, they're over there. I,

0:12:52 > 0:12:56meanwhile, and at my positively most figure like today as I contemplate a

0:12:56 > 0:13:02country which bases the future with unique strengths. This Autumn

0:13:02 > 0:13:07Statement, 2016, I have committed to £60 billion of new spending, shared

0:13:07 > 0:13:10between long-term investment in Britain's future and support for our

0:13:10 > 0:13:16public services. With almost £9 billion extra for our NHS and our

0:13:16 > 0:13:23social care system am a £4 billion going into the NHS in the 18 height

0:13:23 > 0:13:35in 19 alone. -- Wendy 18-20 19.This complacency today is astounding. We

0:13:35 > 0:13:40face in every public service a crisis on a scale we've never seen

0:13:40 > 0:13:45before. Hasn't he listened to the doctors, the nurses, teachers, the

0:13:45 > 0:13:52police officers, the carers and even his own counsellors? They are

0:13:52 > 0:13:55telling him they can't wait for the next budget. They're telling him to

0:13:55 > 0:14:03act now.The real tragedy is that we are ten years on from the financial

0:14:03 > 0:14:07crisis but austerity is still with us and there was a lack of hope

0:14:07 > 0:14:15given to the people of the United Kingdom from their statement today.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18The Chancellor has been very upbeat today but why is he so upbeat when

0:14:18 > 0:14:22the growth figures showed that we have gone from near the top of the

0:14:22 > 0:14:29G7 and the G20 growth lists, to the bottom of both?The future is

0:14:29 > 0:14:34uncertain and the likelihood of unexpected political developments

0:14:34 > 0:14:38leaves to significant downside risks to public forecast. Can I ask the

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Chancellor whether he sees any of those political downside risks

0:14:40 > 0:14:42sitting directly in front of him?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Funnily enough Philip Hammond did see risks

0:14:44 > 0:14:48on the Labour front bench, and what's more, he said,

0:14:48 > 0:14:51business had told him they shared those risks, too.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53The Chancellor is always looking for new ways to increase revenue.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55The longest-serving MP, the Father of the House,

0:14:55 > 0:14:57is Kenneth Clarke, a former Conservative Chancellor

0:14:57 > 0:14:58himself of course.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02He had a idea.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06Can I suggest that he looks at some of the extraordinary tax anomalies

0:15:06 > 0:15:12he has inherited in the tax treatment of older, prosperous

0:15:12 > 0:15:22people in full-time work in this country?

0:15:22 > 0:15:30LAUGHTER

0:15:30 > 0:15:34i think i am perfectly well placed to make my point.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37One Conservative later made the point that perhaps imposing

0:15:37 > 0:15:40a new tax targeted at a core element of the party's support may not be

0:15:40 > 0:15:41a good idea after all.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45And now let's have a look at some other news from Parliament in brief.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48The peer who was Britain's first female Muslim Cabinet minister said

0:15:48 > 0:15:53she won't be intimidated by letters inciting violence against Muslims.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Her comments came after four suspect packages were sent to MPs

0:15:55 > 0:15:59from a Muslim background.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02The previous day, MPs had condemned the letters encouraging people

0:16:02 > 0:16:06to take part in a "Punish a Muslim" day.

0:16:06 > 0:16:16I received a message, my lord, from a friend. She said, please do not go

0:16:16 > 0:16:21out on the 3rd of April, it is punished a Muslim day. I will, along

0:16:21 > 0:16:24with many others, be going out on the 3rd of April because we will not

0:16:24 > 0:16:25be intimidated in this way.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27The Government reported a new and worrying development

0:16:27 > 0:16:29in the investigation into the fire at Grenfell Tower.

0:16:29 > 0:16:35It's nine months since the blaze claimed 71 lives.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38The cladding and insulation on the outside of the building have

0:16:38 > 0:16:40already failed all preliminary tests by the police.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Investigators have found now that a flat door from the building

0:16:43 > 0:16:53could only hold back a fire for half the time it was supposed to.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57The door is believed to have been designed to resist fire for up to 30

0:16:57 > 0:17:02minutes, but when tested by the Metropolitan Police, failed after

0:17:02 > 0:17:06approximately 15 minutes. The Metropolitan Police considered that

0:17:06 > 0:17:09this test result might have wider implications for public safety and

0:17:09 > 0:17:12alerted my department.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Professor Stephen Hawking, who died on Wednesday at the age of 76,

0:17:14 > 0:17:18was remembered at Prime Minister's Questions.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Theresa May paid tribute to his courage and persistence,

0:17:20 > 0:17:22and his brilliance and humour, which inspired people

0:17:22 > 0:17:23across the world.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Jeremy Corbyn said, as well as being an acclaimed scientist,

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Professor Hawking was also passionate about the NHS

0:17:29 > 0:17:39and universal health care.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41The International Trade Secretary criticised President Trump's

0:17:41 > 0:17:44decision to impose tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium

0:17:44 > 0:17:45into the United States.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Liam Fox told MPs he'd be working with the European Union to win

0:17:48 > 0:17:49an exemption from the tariffs.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Dr Fox said the 25% duties could harm US industries

0:17:52 > 0:17:54as well as those in other countries.

0:17:54 > 0:18:00We do disagree with the US decision to implement tariffs on steel and

0:18:00 > 0:18:05aluminium imports based on national security considerations. These

0:18:05 > 0:18:07unilateral trade measures have weak foundations in international law and

0:18:07 > 0:18:12they are not consistent with the Department of defence's own

0:18:12 > 0:18:15judgement in an investigation that was conducted on the basis of

0:18:15 > 0:18:19national security.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Mistrust, anxiety and prejudice are characterising too many

0:18:21 > 0:18:23parts of the country, the Communities Secretary has said.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Sajid Javid told MPs there was a "lack of meaningful

0:18:25 > 0:18:27mixing" between people from different backgrounds,

0:18:27 > 0:18:29as he set out a government consultation paper on how

0:18:29 > 0:18:33to improve integration.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38But the plans earned a stinging rebuke from the SNP.

0:18:38 > 0:18:44This government has pandered, let's be honest, to tabloids and Stoked

0:18:44 > 0:18:46anti-immigration rhetoric for years. He should apologise for their part

0:18:46 > 0:18:52in this. This is, after all, a government of go home vans, of a

0:18:52 > 0:18:57possible -- hostile environment, a preventing asylum-seekers from

0:18:57 > 0:18:59working which we know what eight immigration.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01The Scottish and Welsh First Ministers met Theresa May

0:19:01 > 0:19:04in Downing Street to discuss what'll happen to devolved powers,

0:19:04 > 0:19:05such as regulation of fisheries and farming,

0:19:05 > 0:19:10once they come back from Brussels after Brexit.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13The issues that remain between us are not insignificant but neither

0:19:13 > 0:19:21are they insurmountable. And I think with understanding and good will on

0:19:21 > 0:19:25both sides, then I think a deal can be reached. That is not to say that

0:19:25 > 0:19:29there is certainty at this stage that it will be reduced. -- that it

0:19:29 > 0:19:32will be reached.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Owners of dogs with behavioural problems can buy collars which give

0:19:34 > 0:19:36the animal an electric shock.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38The idea is help train them, but campaigners argue

0:19:38 > 0:19:39the devices are cruel.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41MPs called for their use to be banned in England.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43A Conservative described what happened when one woman used

0:19:43 > 0:19:45an electric collar on her dogs.

0:19:45 > 0:19:50The first time he got -- the dogs got the shock was by mistake, so

0:19:50 > 0:19:55after a small dog that they were walking past made her jump, from

0:19:55 > 0:19:59then on her pet associated the shocks with small dogs and there for

0:19:59 > 0:20:06became afraid of them, so when she described the day in July when her

0:20:06 > 0:20:10dogs turned on and should suit, she had tears in her eyes and she

0:20:10 > 0:20:12stated, they connected the pain of the electric shock with little dogs

0:20:12 > 0:20:18because of the first time I used to call her, the day that machine came

0:20:18 > 0:20:24in this House, I regret.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Now then, a senior official at YouTube has apologised to MPs

0:20:27 > 0:20:29for the company's slowness in removing extremist

0:20:29 > 0:20:30and offensive videos, in particular those produced

0:20:30 > 0:20:33by neo-Nazi groups such as National Action.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35William McCants faced an uncomfortable round of questioning

0:20:35 > 0:20:42from the Home Affairs committee.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46In fact, you might want to hide behind the sofa at this point.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48We apologise for those videos being on our platform.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49They should not have been there.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52You should not have had to come back to us repeatedly.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54These four videos, because they are from a proscribed

0:20:54 > 0:20:57terrorist organisation, should not have remained up on our platform.

0:20:57 > 0:21:02Do you have any reviewers based in the United Kingdom?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04I believe we have a large team of reviewers based in Ireland.

0:21:04 > 0:21:11Which is not in the United Kingdom.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Right.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15I'm not sure, of course, we have full-time employees which work

0:21:15 > 0:21:18on this, but if you're asking me about contractors that we use,

0:21:18 > 0:21:21I'm not sure if they're based in the UK or not.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24So you put some of these decisions out to contract?

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Certainly, and that is part of the trouble here is that these

0:21:27 > 0:21:32videos were going to people who were not able to identify them.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35That is why they're going to be routed to specialists and why

0:21:35 > 0:21:37the general reviewers are going to be given training

0:21:37 > 0:21:39in order to identify these videos.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41How many of the people who make these decisions are

0:21:41 > 0:21:42actually not YouTube employees?

0:21:42 > 0:21:51Generally, I don't know a number.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54You don't even know where your review teams are based,

0:21:54 > 0:21:56who they are, whether they are done through contract to other

0:21:56 > 0:21:59companies or organisations or whether it is done by YouTube.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Now, all of the statements that you gave us at the

0:22:01 > 0:22:04beginning of this evidence session about how much it mattered to you,

0:22:04 > 0:22:06personally, these things are actually being implemented by staff

0:22:06 > 0:22:09on your behalf or by people on your behalf.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13It is frankly shocking that you seem to know so little about who

0:22:13 > 0:22:16they are, where they are, what training they've had or even

0:22:16 > 0:22:20whether they are employed by your organisation.

0:22:20 > 0:22:27You have no response to that.I have been brought on to deal with

0:22:27 > 0:22:30counterterrorism policy. I work at a very high level. Our trust and

0:22:30 > 0:22:35safety teams are making sure that the reviewers get the training that

0:22:35 > 0:22:39they need.When we had evidence from YouTube in the past you were very

0:22:39 > 0:22:43clear that when it was copyrighted materials such as songs or albums,

0:22:43 > 0:22:47the minute they appear you remove them within minutes. Within minutes,

0:22:47 > 0:22:51and yet you have nothing, you have not invested anything to match that

0:22:51 > 0:22:58find of copyrighted material, and yet, this stuff is dangerous. It

0:22:58 > 0:23:04leads to people losing their lives. It is illegal.We are putting in

0:23:04 > 0:23:08place fixesevery day, spending millions of dollars to address this

0:23:08 > 0:23:11problem. Our technology is getting faster and we are expanding the

0:23:11 > 0:23:15number of personnel who work on this issue. We continue to make

0:23:15 > 0:23:20improvements. Are we perfect? No. Will we be perfect? No. Oh we will

0:23:20 > 0:23:25get better.This is not about perfection, is about you being wrong

0:23:25 > 0:23:32person before this committee and not knowing what you're talking about.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Telling it like it is.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Now, with a whirlwind tour of the wider world

0:23:36 > 0:23:39of politics this week, here's Julia Butler and our countdown.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43At five, turning on a penny after an outcry of treasury proposals to

0:23:43 > 0:23:48review small change. Downing Street says there are no plans to scrap

0:23:48 > 0:23:51small coins. Perhaps we should all move to Finland since the Nordic

0:23:51 > 0:23:54nation has been declared the world's happiest country. The UK rolled in a

0:23:54 > 0:23:5819th. It seems like he would have more fun with a thin. He prime Mr

0:23:58 > 0:24:02adopted a more relaxed approach this week when she visited the scene of a

0:24:02 > 0:24:07narrative agent attack in Salisbury. Angela Merkel is finally sworn in as

0:24:07 > 0:24:18Chancellor of Germany. But the corks will be staying in the campaign. It

0:24:18 > 0:24:22took many days per to be approved after political deadlock. And now,

0:24:22 > 0:24:30and the Bob Neill who gave his...I will do my best to be naturally

0:24:30 > 0:24:42short.Laughter at Bob Neill there. How could anyone stoop so low?

0:24:42 > 0:24:46Julia Butler.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Finally, MPs are always anxious to put in a good word

0:24:49 > 0:24:51about their constituency and the ideal time to do this

0:24:51 > 0:24:54is Prime Minister's Questions.

0:24:54 > 0:25:04So in the very dying minutes, one Conservative seized his chance.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09The inspirational Music Man project in South End that works

0:25:09 > 0:25:13with people who have learning difficulties has now set a world

0:25:13 > 0:25:15record for tinkling the most number of triangles ever,

0:25:15 > 0:25:20so does my right honourable friend agree with me that that is yet

0:25:20 > 0:25:22another reason why South End should be made a city?

0:25:22 > 0:25:25The Prime Minister seemed unwilling to commit to Southend becoming

0:25:25 > 0:25:28a city just on the strength of that, but...

0:25:28 > 0:25:32I am very happy to congratulate the music man project in Southend

0:25:32 > 0:25:35for the record that they have achieved in tinkling triangles.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Now there's a phrase you don't hear a prime minister say every day.

0:25:38 > 0:25:39Well, that's all for now.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Don't forget there's a round up of the day in Parliament every night

0:25:43 > 0:25:45at 11pm on BBC Parliament.

0:25:45 > 0:25:55But for now, from me, Mandy Baker, goodbye.
