:00:00. > :00:08.Hello, it's Wednesday, it's 9.15, I'm Joanna Gosling in for

:00:09. > :00:10.Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme.

:00:11. > :00:15.as the nation remembers the British military deaths since World War I,

:00:16. > :00:17.we'll speak to four men who served in some of the biggest

:00:18. > :00:31.I Frank Rosier and was in with you in the next few minutes.

:00:32. > :00:36.I Frank Rosier and was in Gloucestershire Regiment. I am

:00:37. > :00:42.Doctor David Jackson and I served in the Falklands and Northern Ireland.

:00:43. > :00:51.I am Mike North and I served in the Gulf and Northern Ireland. I am

:00:52. > :00:55.serving officer in the Royal offered sure -- Oxfordshire engineers.

:00:56. > :00:57.Plus, we'll bring you Victoria's latest video diary, following her

:00:58. > :01:06.I am having my first session of chemotherapy, part of my treatment

:01:07. > :01:12.for cancer. The chemotherapy drugs are being given to me. It is an

:01:13. > :01:17.insurance policy, that is how it is described to me, in case there are

:01:18. > :01:21.any microscopic traces of cancer elsewhere in my body. The

:01:22. > :01:24.chemotherapy drugs will kill it, as well as the good cells, but that is

:01:25. > :01:27.The full diary after 10.00am this morning,

:01:28. > :01:30.and you can watch it now on our programme page, bbc.co.uk/victoria.

:01:31. > :01:32.Also coming up in the programme, we'll get reaction after

:01:33. > :01:35.a senior Russian athletics official acknowledged his country does have

:01:36. > :01:51.We know our problem, we know we have a problem with doping. Of course we

:01:52. > :01:53.should change the mentality of many coaches, especially the coaches in

:01:54. > :02:33.We'll get reaction from employment minister priti patel.

:02:34. > :02:37.we'll bring you some footage from an extraordinary MPs' debate yesterday

:02:38. > :02:40.about whether breast feeding should be allowed in the House of Commons.

:02:41. > :02:43.if you've got a view on breast feeding in public you

:03:02. > :03:03.Over 1.2 million British military have been killed in conflicts

:03:04. > :03:06.since World War 1 and today a two-minute silence will

:03:07. > :03:09.be observed to commemorate those who died in the two world wars

:03:10. > :03:13.It starts at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day

:03:14. > :03:16.of the eleventh month, the time in 1918 when the guns fell silent along

:03:17. > :03:19.the Western Front, and an armistice, or a truce, was declared.

:03:20. > :03:21.It has been known as Armistice Day ever since.

:03:22. > :03:22.Our correspondents will be across the UK

:03:23. > :03:25.at 11 bringing you that two-minute silence this morning, but first,

:03:26. > :03:28.we've brought together veterans from a number of different conflicts

:03:29. > :03:31.Britain's been involved in over the years to share their experiences.

:03:32. > :03:34.Joining us here in the studio are Frank Rosier, who served in the

:03:35. > :03:37.Second World War and took part in the DDay landings, Dr David Jackson,

:03:38. > :03:40.who served with the marines in the Falklands and in Northern Ireland,

:03:41. > :03:42.Mike Lobb, who served in the Gulf War in 1990

:03:43. > :03:46.and Major Sartaj Singh Gogna, who's still in the army and has done

:03:47. > :03:54.Thanks for joining us today - still to come. We'll bring you Victoria's

:03:55. > :04:00.You all have different experiences of different conflicts, but first to

:04:01. > :04:09.tell me what Armistice Day means for you. Possibly because I and the

:04:10. > :04:14.eldest here, my generation is the last link to the First World War

:04:15. > :04:20.veterans because it was our parents and uncles who fought that war. I

:04:21. > :04:26.have very fond memories of my two uncles and my dad who got wounded in

:04:27. > :04:30.the war. I remember them quite a lot and I also remember the lads I left

:04:31. > :04:37.behind in Normandy. They were very young boys and I will never forget

:04:38. > :04:44.those boys. So, Remembrance Day, the 11th of the 11th, is very important

:04:45. > :04:50.for me. I think for me it is about remembering. For me it is about loss

:04:51. > :04:55.and I had two great uncles who served in the First World War, so

:04:56. > :05:03.again it is also about reflecting on their loss, which is a connection to

:05:04. > :05:10.my family as well. For me it is about thinking about losing my best

:05:11. > :05:14.friends. I come from a long line of military people. My grandfather

:05:15. > :05:19.served in the Second World War and my father served after that and they

:05:20. > :05:22.are both no longer with us. It is a chance for me to remember them and

:05:23. > :05:28.other friends. We have all lost people that we served with, but for

:05:29. > :05:32.me it is also about looking forward. We lost people so that we could move

:05:33. > :05:39.on and other people could move on and that is the way I like to think

:05:40. > :05:44.of it. For me remembrance is as much as it is a time to think about those

:05:45. > :05:49.who we have lost, it is also time to think about what they have left

:05:50. > :05:56.behind and the families who remain. One individual going down impact

:05:57. > :05:59.upon the team, not just that individual. The team extends to

:06:00. > :06:06.their families and the way we look after them. During my service,

:06:07. > :06:11.having lost soldiers, it is remembering their families and how

:06:12. > :06:16.we can support them as well. The great sacrifice those individuals

:06:17. > :06:20.have given. You have all spoken of how loss has touched you and you

:06:21. > :06:24.have all been involved in conflicts. Frank, you spoke of the young age of

:06:25. > :06:29.many of those who served in the Second World War alongside you. You

:06:30. > :06:37.were only 17 when you signed up. What I was never told was that by

:06:38. > :06:44.1942 we were running out of men, so they lowered the recruiting age to

:06:45. > :06:49.17. That is when everybody of that age volunteered. I would go as far

:06:50. > :06:56.to say more than half the armed forces those days were volunteers.

:06:57. > :07:01.Consequently we volunteered at 17 and after training, by the time we

:07:02. > :07:09.got to D-Day, the eldest amongst us would be in their early 20s. To

:07:10. > :07:14.think that really we got through it because of the comradeship of the

:07:15. > :07:20.fellows I was with. We helped one another. The British Army has a

:07:21. > :07:26.wonderful weapon called humour, and the ability to laugh at situations.

:07:27. > :07:34.It gets you out of trouble time and time again. But leaving those young

:07:35. > :07:40.boys, there are 14 in a French cemetery, and I go over there and I

:07:41. > :07:51.still cry. The youngest was 19 and the eldest was 24. That was 14th in

:07:52. > :07:58.my platoon. Others were killed elsewhere. I came home wounded. Very

:07:59. > :08:04.few of us got through the war unhurt. Many were wounded and went

:08:05. > :08:10.back again. There is a lot to think about these days. I spent four years

:08:11. > :08:16.in hospital in a plastic surgery unit and I think of those lads who I

:08:17. > :08:22.was with, the same age but who lost their legs and who were badly

:08:23. > :08:27.burned. How did they get on in life? What happened to them? There is an

:08:28. > :08:36.awful lot to remember and an awful lot to be sad about. The thing about

:08:37. > :08:41.experiencing war is if you have four of us sitting in a room we do not

:08:42. > :08:46.need to talk about war, I know it is a cliched the band of Brothers, but

:08:47. > :08:50.we have a common understanding that does not need words. What is

:08:51. > :08:57.important is what you do afterwards and how you lead your life. And in

:08:58. > :09:02.some ways to me it is about living life with passion and moving on.

:09:03. > :09:10.Does it matter if others understand what you have been through? Today it

:09:11. > :09:16.is about the nation remembering. Does it matter? It is important

:09:17. > :09:21.society has a better understanding of the culture and some of the

:09:22. > :09:28.difficulties war veterans and families have in society. I run a

:09:29. > :09:31.group that encourages a better dialogue between the civilian world

:09:32. > :09:42.and the ex-Armed Forces world. That is really important. Frank was in

:09:43. > :09:47.the Army at a time when a lot of people had families who understood

:09:48. > :09:51.what is going on. Perhaps the service we had, the Falklands,

:09:52. > :09:57.Northern Ireland, that blended into normal life for a lot of people. But

:09:58. > :10:04.one thing that strikes me now is because the armed services have been

:10:05. > :10:09.involved in conflict pretty much for the last 12 or 15 years, it is very

:10:10. > :10:14.definitely at the front of people's minds. Everybody knows somebody who

:10:15. > :10:19.has been injured or killed. Mother, father, sons and daughters. They are

:10:20. > :10:26.all really close to it. There is a lot of things that have happened

:10:27. > :10:34.from a veteran's perspective like Help For Heroes. It puts it to the

:10:35. > :10:36.front or people's minds now. It is always important that everybody

:10:37. > :10:43.outside the military understands what we go through. If nothing else

:10:44. > :10:48.to prevent future conflicts. Conflict is not a nice place to be.

:10:49. > :10:53.Without that broad understanding of the horrors of war and that memory

:10:54. > :10:58.of the sacrifices that individuals have had to make an families have

:10:59. > :11:02.had to make and regiments that were decimated, particularly during the

:11:03. > :11:08.First World War and the second, you could hope to prevent conflict in

:11:09. > :11:13.future. You have to sit down and take a moment to remember exactly

:11:14. > :11:15.what that conflict has meant to us. You say conflict is not a nice place

:11:16. > :11:19.to be. Either You say conflict is not a nice place

:11:20. > :11:32.saw always there for you? take five seconds. It was always us

:11:33. > :11:41.and weak on the front line. Most of War, rather than the First World

:11:42. > :11:48.War, was 20 yards apart targets. Tanks and planes, ships, targets,

:11:49. > :11:52.infantry, targets. On this occasion I came face-to-face with this young

:11:53. > :12:00.German boy and to this day why did we not say good morning? We didn't,

:12:01. > :12:05.we both took out our weapons and I won. I sat down on the ground and I

:12:06. > :12:10.cried and it is not nice and it is not easy to kill another human

:12:11. > :12:20.being. That sticks in my mind. This young, German boy, a mother's son. I

:12:21. > :12:24.lost a 2 brothers. My mother with thousands of other women, I am not

:12:25. > :12:31.being patronising, went to hell and back. They never get a mention, the

:12:32. > :12:37.wives in the First World War, the mothers who went through hell and

:12:38. > :12:44.back quite often. That I feel sorry about. You are still having to leave

:12:45. > :12:50.your family behind. How do they get through that? It is strength, my

:12:51. > :12:56.wife supports me day in, day out in my career. When we found in 2012I

:12:57. > :13:01.was about to go to Afghanistan, the week before we found out we were

:13:02. > :13:06.expecting. I knew what the implication of that was. I was going

:13:07. > :13:10.to miss the birth of my daughter, but I was fortunate I married a

:13:11. > :13:16.woman who is so strong that she held the fort whilst I went off and did

:13:17. > :13:20.what I had to do. I was lucky that I had the support of my commander to

:13:21. > :13:24.get back in time for the birth. Testament to the character of my

:13:25. > :13:29.wife who then carried on on her own for three months whilst I went back

:13:30. > :13:38.to service and finish of the rest of the tour. Our families are one of

:13:39. > :13:43.our greatest bonuses and without them that we would not be where we

:13:44. > :13:48.are today. I will always be eternally thankful for my wife or

:13:49. > :13:53.all the support she has shown. It is a way of life some people might

:13:54. > :14:00.think why choose that? Why do something else that might be

:14:01. > :14:05.easier? I wanted a life less ordinary. I started going to

:14:06. > :14:10.university and reading pharmacy and very quickly I realised for me that

:14:11. > :14:13.was not going to cut the mustard. I wanted something that inspired me

:14:14. > :14:21.and motivated me to be a better person. Having seen the likes of

:14:22. > :14:24.Mike go through the Gulf campaign that is what inspired me to pick up

:14:25. > :14:31.the gauntlet and go forth and sign up. In the last 15 years I have had

:14:32. > :14:36.a cracking career around the world and I have had a lot of experience

:14:37. > :14:41.and have made a lot of friends. I have lost some, but it is their

:14:42. > :14:48.memory that we hold today. I would never have changed that decision.

:14:49. > :14:55.What about the element of service and the pride that comes with that?

:14:56. > :15:00.I was an ugly kid, so I thought U might help me out. But I also played

:15:01. > :15:05.a lot of sport and being part of a on the rugby pitch is hugely

:15:06. > :15:11.important to me. 15 people working together to beat 15 people. Joining

:15:12. > :15:15.the military is the same thing. I was saying earlier on I joined the

:15:16. > :15:21.Royal engineers and I love the royal engineers and all the squadron and

:15:22. > :15:27.the guys I have served with. It was not until I went to conflict that I

:15:28. > :15:32.looked further than that and saw how well the infantry operate, how well

:15:33. > :15:36.the artillery and the cavalry operates and you get a real sense

:15:37. > :15:44.that you are part of a much bigger team. That is hugely important. Is

:15:45. > :15:51.it important to all of you that people wear poppies today? That

:15:52. > :15:56.people observe the silence? Yes, because people do and people are

:15:57. > :16:02.kind in buying those poppies. As a better and I have sold poppies in

:16:03. > :16:08.the past. Even though I am wearing a poppy, they put their money in the

:16:09. > :16:11.ten because I am a veteran. I am a member of the British Legion. What

:16:12. > :16:20.they do with that money is pretty good. Building homes for wounded

:16:21. > :16:32.soldiers and Help The Heroes. There is quite a lot going for us. They

:16:33. > :16:39.are better than the government. The support seems to be lacking. We get

:16:40. > :16:43.help from the Legion, from Help For Heroes and people in the street as

:16:44. > :16:52.soon as they know you are a veteran. What support would you like

:16:53. > :17:00.from the government? I should not say this, but I know somebody who

:17:01. > :17:03.was in Iraq and he lost his legs and he was told he was fit for work and

:17:04. > :17:09.they stopped his benefit. That is not right. That lad deserves better

:17:10. > :17:14.than a benefit, he deserves a lot more than that. We got a war pension

:17:15. > :17:21.which I draw today and it is pretty good. It was given to us by the

:17:22. > :17:27.governments in the 40s. I do not know what they get today. My

:17:28. > :17:40.response to do the government do enough? What I found, and I mean in

:17:41. > :17:45.the collective we, what would you like from society? Nobody has sat us

:17:46. > :17:51.down and asked us what we want from society. There are a lot of

:17:52. > :17:55.assumptions about what we need. There are lots of charities out

:17:56. > :18:00.there who are fantastic, small charities, certainly down in Devon

:18:01. > :18:04.and Cornwall, but the fragmentation of it means there are charities

:18:05. > :18:12.everywhere and they do not seem to get together collectively. It is

:18:13. > :18:16.people replicating the same work. If I was to have a minister here I

:18:17. > :18:21.would say you need to bring this all under one umbrella and work together

:18:22. > :18:28.and work collectively as a team, which is what we were like in a

:18:29. > :18:34.team. As the Second World War defined you and your life? I have

:18:35. > :18:40.had a smashing life. I have enjoyed myself. Good Lord gave me the

:18:41. > :18:48.ability to play football and he gave me a brain and my best job was as

:18:49. > :18:54.postman and one day he will kick me upstairs. I had a lovely wife and a

:18:55. > :19:00.lovely son. Unfortunately I have outlived them both. The war has not

:19:01. > :19:07.affected me a bit. I know I lost my eye, but I say I never lost it. I

:19:08. > :19:08.was young enough. Thank you very much for coming

:19:09. > :19:12.in as the nation prepares to remember.

:19:13. > :19:17.Still to come, we'll bring you Victoria's latest

:19:18. > :19:27.video diary, following her first chemotherapy session.

:19:28. > :19:36.And unemployment fell down to 1.75 million. We will bring you reaction.

:19:37. > :19:47.The latest unemployment figures are out and they show unemployment fell

:19:48. > :19:51.As we've just mentioned, a two-minute silence will be

:19:52. > :19:54.observed across the UK at 11 o'clock to remember the nation's war dead.

:19:55. > :19:56.Over 1.2 million British military personnel have been killed

:19:57. > :20:03.Victoria Derbyshire has shared the experience of her first chemotherapy

:20:04. > :20:06.session, as she continues her battle against breast cancer.

:20:07. > :20:12.In the video diary, she explains the process of undergoing treatment.

:20:13. > :20:21.She explains the process of undergoing treatment. On my head I

:20:22. > :20:28.am wearing a cold cap which is to cool my scalp so it reduces the

:20:29. > :20:32.blood flow to my scalp, therefore it reduces the chemotherapy drugs going

:20:33. > :20:36.to my head, which should minimise or reduce hair loss, which is one of

:20:37. > :20:40.One of the heads of Russian athletics has acknowledged that

:20:41. > :20:42.the country does have a problem with doping.

:20:43. > :20:44.Mikhail Butov, the General Secretary of

:20:45. > :20:47.the All-Russia Athletic Federation, has responded to the report

:20:48. > :20:49.by an independent commission, which accused his country's sportsmen

:20:50. > :20:53.TalkTalk has confirmed this morning that the cyber-attack

:20:54. > :20:56.on its website will cost the company an estimated ?30 million.

:20:57. > :20:58.The personal details of more than 150,000 customers were

:20:59. > :21:03.Of those, more than 15,000 had their bank account numbers

:21:04. > :21:21.Let's catch up with the sport. We will have more on the Russian doping

:21:22. > :21:30.scandal in athletics were today the IAAF president Sebastian Coe has

:21:31. > :21:36.said he will clear up the sport. Not everyone is convinced he is the man

:21:37. > :21:39.to clear up the situation. We will get the latest from our

:21:40. > :21:44.correspondent Richard Conway. Sam Burgess explained his decision to go

:21:45. > :21:51.back to rugby league. He did not have the stomach for the fight in

:21:52. > :21:59.rugby union, according to his coach Mike Ford. We will hear from Sam

:22:00. > :22:02.Burgess himself. After England's test series defeat against Pakistan

:22:03. > :22:06.they have a chance to put that behind them with the first one-day

:22:07. > :22:10.international which gets under way at 11am in Abu Dhabi.

:22:11. > :22:15.The latest employment figures are just out.

:22:16. > :22:20.Our business correspondent Ben Thompson is here.

:22:21. > :22:30.Talk us through the figures. Headline rate fell to 5.3%. That is

:22:31. > :22:34.down again on the period before. It is interesting because we have been

:22:35. > :22:37.seeing this trend downwards of the number of people out of work and the

:22:38. > :22:47.numbers claiming jobseeker's allowance. 31.2 million people in

:22:48. > :22:52.work, that is up by 177,000. Also a big rise in the number of people

:22:53. > :22:56.working full-time. We have talked about the unemployment number coming

:22:57. > :23:01.down, but that has been hiding the fact people are working part-time

:23:02. > :23:07.and fewer hours, and they have not been able to add as much as they did

:23:08. > :23:11.before. We have had news on average earnings. That gives us an

:23:12. > :23:17.indication of whether we are feeling better off. We are told they are

:23:18. > :23:25.rising by 2.5%. That is below what we were expecting. We were looking

:23:26. > :23:31.for a figure of 3.2 or 3.3%. Average earnings now rising by 2.5%. But the

:23:32. > :23:36.important thing is inflation, the rise in costs of goods and services

:23:37. > :23:41.and last month that went negative. The gap between what we are spending

:23:42. > :23:47.and earning is getting bigger. In theory it means we should be better

:23:48. > :23:53.off in our pockets. It sounds like a pretty good picture overall. Just

:23:54. > :23:58.one thought. The chief executive of Tesco, Dave Lewis, has been speaking

:23:59. > :24:01.about the national living wage and predicting that could lead to job

:24:02. > :24:06.losses. Those comments were interesting earlier and he was

:24:07. > :24:10.talking about the perfect storm and he was talking about the business

:24:11. > :24:16.rates and the national living wage which starts in April next year. He

:24:17. > :24:21.said taken together that could cost business about ?14 billion. What is

:24:22. > :24:25.interesting is they are saying we will have to be careful about

:24:26. > :24:29.whether we take on more staff because we will have to pay them

:24:30. > :24:35.more. There is a real focus on people paying the wage because the

:24:36. > :24:41.government is not going to subsidise people through tax credits. But it

:24:42. > :24:47.is interesting. I have had a statement from the Chancellor saying

:24:48. > :24:50.the unemployment figures are good and he said the employment rate has

:24:51. > :24:56.never been higher and we are working towards full employment, but he

:24:57. > :25:01.points out there are 7500 job vacancies in the UK. There are still

:25:02. > :25:04.jobs available, but the issue is making sure we have the right people

:25:05. > :25:10.with the right skills for the right jobs. Employers often tell me they

:25:11. > :25:15.have vacancies, but they cannot find the right people. Training is not in

:25:16. > :25:21.the right areas to get people into work. Many people are retraining.

:25:22. > :25:26.Traditional industries are dying, and the steel industry laying off

:25:27. > :25:31.workers. The trick will be getting those people retrain and into jobs

:25:32. > :25:36.that are available into different jobs. Can retrain those people for

:25:37. > :25:42.the jobs that are available? That will be the big challenge to fill

:25:43. > :25:48.these vacancies. We will be speaking to Priti Patel, the Employment

:25:49. > :25:53.Minister a bit later. We will also bring new pictorial's latest video

:25:54. > :25:55.diary after her breast cancer diagnosis and her first chemotherapy

:25:56. > :26:01.More than half of all Muslims in the UK believe government

:26:02. > :26:03.policies have had a negative impact on their lives.

:26:04. > :26:06.That's according to a new report exclusively shown to this programme.

:26:07. > :26:08.A study by the Islamic Human Rights Commission found many

:26:09. > :26:10.people feel they've been treated with suspicion and mistrust.

:26:11. > :26:12.The report's authors say the government's security

:26:13. > :26:13.and anti-extremism measures, among other policies,

:26:14. > :26:15.have fuelled discrimination against Muslims in Britain.

:26:16. > :26:17.In the next hour, we'll get reaction, but first,

:26:18. > :26:20.Divya Talwar from the BBC's Asian Network has this investigation.

:26:21. > :26:42.Our finding suggests homophobia in the UK is at unprecedented levels.

:26:43. > :26:50.You are an F word, a bomber, a terrorist.

:26:51. > :26:55.My biggest fear is to be killed in the street. Muslims are viewed with

:26:56. > :27:01.suspicion and mistrust, we are blamed for everything. I do not know

:27:02. > :27:11.what life is like without Islam phobia or racism. We will be the

:27:12. > :27:16.scapegoats for a very long time. The government has promised to do

:27:17. > :27:20.more to tackle Islam phobia, but with controversial laws introduced

:27:21. > :27:24.this year, will it make the problem worse? A new report claims

:27:25. > :27:29.government policies like those countering extremism are one of the

:27:30. > :27:32.reasons many Muslims feel like they are coming under suspicion, I'm

:27:33. > :27:37.facing discrimination and even abuse. The report says incidents

:27:38. > :27:48.like this are happening around the country. This video has gone viral.

:27:49. > :27:55.It shows a lady shouting racist abuse at two Muslim women travelling

:27:56. > :28:02.on a bus in London. At one point she threatens to kick one of the women

:28:03. > :28:06.who is pregnant in the stomach. Anti-Muslim abuse like this, whether

:28:07. > :28:12.it is verbal abuse, physical assaults or even arson attacks on

:28:13. > :28:16.mosques are thought to be on the rise. New research suggests two out

:28:17. > :28:23.of every five Muslims has faced some kind of abuse in the UK. Every

:28:24. > :28:27.morning before going to work, this lady recites a prayer. She says it

:28:28. > :28:33.is for her protection, to keep her safe when she leaves her house. She

:28:34. > :28:38.is 29 and was born in Saudi Arabia and moved to Cardiff as a child. She

:28:39. > :28:43.started wearing a face veil when she was 14. She said it made her a

:28:44. > :28:52.target for abuse, but recently it has become so frequent she is scared

:28:53. > :28:58.to leave her home. Isil has been constantly connected to Muslims in

:28:59. > :29:07.the media and a lot of the public cannot differentiate between Muslims

:29:08. > :29:14.and Isil. The kind of abuse I get has increased recently. And I get it

:29:15. > :29:20.everywhere I go. Tell me about what you have experienced. The abuse can

:29:21. > :29:28.be verbal and sometimes physical. People pass by and try to take off

:29:29. > :29:35.my bail. These abusers can use the F word, you are a bomber or a

:29:36. > :29:40.terrorist. Do not cut off my head. She used to report the abuse to the

:29:41. > :29:44.pleas, but she says nothing ever happens, so she rarely does.

:29:45. > :29:49.Recently there have been physical attacks where people try to rip her

:29:50. > :29:53.bail. She says she is constantly looking over her shoulder worried

:29:54. > :29:57.she will be abused. She has even started taking a different route to

:29:58. > :30:01.work every morning because she thinks it is safer. What is it like

:30:02. > :30:13.living in constant fear of being attacked? It makes me feel scared.

:30:14. > :30:18.It is unfortunate and a shame that you see people saying that they

:30:19. > :30:25.don't even recognise Islamophobia as a term, let alone the consequences.

:30:26. > :30:36.Islamophobia has become part of our daily life, and it is real. It is

:30:37. > :30:43.affecting me on a daily basis. According to a new report by the

:30:44. > :30:47.Islamist human rights commission, two out of five people questioned

:30:48. > :30:51.said they had faced verbal or physical abuse. More than 40% said

:30:52. > :30:57.they had faced discrimination at work or in education, while more

:30:58. > :31:04.than half of those surveys believed they had been viewed with suspicion

:31:05. > :31:08.and mistrust. Many Muslims I have spoken to feel they are increasingly

:31:09. > :31:11.being profiled and criminalised because of laws to tackle extremism.

:31:12. > :31:21.Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Iman is white and listen. She

:31:22. > :31:25.has not told her family, she doesn't think they will approve so we are

:31:26. > :31:29.keeping her anonymous. Her college suspected she may have been

:31:30. > :31:34.radicalised and she was reported to officers under the government's

:31:35. > :31:39.counter extremist agenda, Tapp prevent. Was there any change in

:31:40. > :31:42.your behaviour that might have aroused any concern? Nothing I

:31:43. > :31:47.thought would trigger anything at all. I guess that was the reason I

:31:48. > :31:53.started wearing a hijab, and that was enough for them to contact my

:31:54. > :31:56.family. The fact that they would think I would be some kind of

:31:57. > :32:01.terrorist is quite upsetting. What do you think they thought? Maybe I

:32:02. > :32:06.was in Isis or running away to Syria to get married, I don't know. I

:32:07. > :32:10.guess Muslim stereotypes were pushed on me. That does show the lack of

:32:11. > :32:14.understanding towards Islam. I don't think they are doing that for people

:32:15. > :32:21.who become Christian, I don't think they are doing that with Hindus and

:32:22. > :32:24.Sikhs and Jews and atheists even. New anti-terrorist mean teachers are

:32:25. > :32:29.under a duty to report those they suspect at risk of under

:32:30. > :32:37.radicalisation. The government says it is just alienating Muslim

:32:38. > :32:41.students. Normal misguided teenagers, a lot of them will get

:32:42. > :32:45.angry and frustrated and turned people support. If the only support

:32:46. > :32:49.is people who are extremists, they are pushing them into the hands of

:32:50. > :32:52.what they are trying to avoid happening. Iman have the meeting

:32:53. > :32:57.with counter extremism officers last month, she says she was interrogated

:32:58. > :33:00.about her views and beliefs. When the Prevent officers were happy that

:33:01. > :33:04.Iman was not a threat, she then said they tried to recruit her to work

:33:05. > :33:08.for them. Which I thought was quite unusual to ask, after I had been

:33:09. > :33:12.accused, and then suddenly it is you are OK now, we know you are not a

:33:13. > :33:18.terrorist but can you come and work for us? It went from one extreme to

:33:19. > :33:23.the other really. I just can't be a normal Muslim girl who was trying to

:33:24. > :33:27.get an education and work and do normal things. I have either got to

:33:28. > :33:32.help within radicalisation or iambic humming radicalised, there is no

:33:33. > :33:37.middle ground. -- or iamb becoming radicalised. The Home Office say

:33:38. > :33:41.they cannot comment on individual cases, but it is about protecting

:33:42. > :33:44.people who might be bombed the ball to the poisoning influence of

:33:45. > :33:50.radicalisation. The Islamic immigrants commission of -- the

:33:51. > :33:54.Islamic human rights commission has been looking into this for nearly

:33:55. > :33:58.two decades. In 2010, a smaller study they carried out suggested a

:33:59. > :34:01.third of Muslims felt government policies like those countering

:34:02. > :34:06.extremism had had a negative impact on them. For years on, the authors

:34:07. > :34:13.behind their latest study say that figure has nearly doubled -- four

:34:14. > :34:17.years on. We have an environment where Muslims feel suspected and

:34:18. > :34:21.life is increasingly difficult. The impact of government policies,

:34:22. > :34:25.particularly those related with security, though not solely, have

:34:26. > :34:29.really had an impact on silencing Muslims to be honest. Not just from

:34:30. > :34:32.the point of view of talking about political things, but even to do

:34:33. > :34:38.things like report anti-Muslim hatred. The government is trying to

:34:39. > :34:43.tackle Islamophobia. Anti-missal and hate crimes will now be seen as

:34:44. > :34:47.specific events. All of these things are welcome always. What we need is

:34:48. > :34:51.a culture change, not little bits of law here and there. It is not to say

:34:52. > :34:54.everyone in the media, every politician, every person in law

:34:55. > :34:58.enforcement is some kind of vile anti-Muslim racist, it is not. But

:34:59. > :35:07.unfortunately we have institutional problems that need to be addressed.

:35:08. > :35:17.Hussein is 26, a British Muslim of anger dishy origin -- Bangladeshi

:35:18. > :35:20.origin. Iman used a worthy face veil, but it came to the point when

:35:21. > :35:30.she had had enough and decided to remove it. That was really

:35:31. > :35:36.difficult. Do you think you will ever return to it? I do think so, it

:35:37. > :35:39.is really difficult to wear it here and the abuse I faced when I was

:35:40. > :35:48.wearing it, I would not want to go back to that. It was scary.

:35:49. > :35:52.Thahira's home city of Cardiff has come under the spotlight after a

:35:53. > :35:56.number of young people travelled to Syria to support so-called Islamic

:35:57. > :36:00.State militants. The small Muslim community here feel they are all

:36:01. > :36:04.coming and it suspicion, and with new laws meaning that nurseries need

:36:05. > :36:07.to look out for signs of radicalisation, parents fear that

:36:08. > :36:11.even their children need to be kept about what they say and how they

:36:12. > :36:15.react. I know that Muslim kids are being monitored very strictly at

:36:16. > :36:18.school, even as young at the age of three, and if any signs of extremism

:36:19. > :36:25.they might show, it is going to be picked up. So I am scared of the

:36:26. > :36:30.things that come out of her mouth! Like recently, we in a Syria

:36:31. > :36:32.fundraiser. She donated some of her toys and helped with the wrapping of

:36:33. > :36:39.the gifts. She keeps talking about that, and she says, money, we will

:36:40. > :36:43.go to Syria, and we will see my toys, she misses the dolls. We will

:36:44. > :36:49.go and see the girl who's looking after her. And I said don't say

:36:50. > :36:54.that, money, we will go to Syria, you don't want anyone to hear.

:36:55. > :36:58.People will get the wrong impression. What impression do you

:36:59. > :37:04.think people would get? They would probably think that I, you know, the

:37:05. > :37:09.worst-case scenario. Joining Isis, I guess.

:37:10. > :37:15.Most of the people I have spoken to for this film were reluctant to talk

:37:16. > :37:19.to me at first. They just don't trust journalists. Many feel the

:37:20. > :37:32.media has an agenda against Muslims, and only negative stories

:37:33. > :37:40.about Islam get reported. Saha is on a mission to get experience. With

:37:41. > :37:45.Muslim suspects, guilty until proven innocent, yes, I see it getting

:37:46. > :37:49.worse unfortunately. But I still am hopeful. I am hopeful of people, the

:37:50. > :37:55.public, to not be socially conditioned. We are not demons, as

:37:56. > :37:56.the media perceive us. Not Isis criminals. We are human beings like

:37:57. > :38:03.you. That was an exclusive That was an exclusive film by

:38:04. > :38:06.Divya Talwar and Athar Ahmad in collaboration with the

:38:07. > :38:08.BBC's Asian Network. We asked the Home Office for

:38:09. > :38:16.their reaction, and they told us: If you want to watch or share that

:38:17. > :38:33.film, you can find it on our and in the next hour, we'll talk to

:38:34. > :38:39.one man who says he's been forced to move home as a result

:38:40. > :38:58.of Islamophobic attacks. Lawrence has texted to say we must

:38:59. > :39:01.never forget our war dead, heroes every one of them. Thousands come

:39:02. > :39:04.from my part of the UK, Northern Ireland proudly fought and died for

:39:05. > :39:09.the cause. I thank them all, may they rest in peace was the Bruce has

:39:10. > :39:12.tweeted to say watching those veterans, and the major looking

:39:13. > :39:18.resplendent makes one so proud. A tweet from Jerome, I wear a poppy, I

:39:19. > :39:22.remember all families of the war dead. Doesn't matter what side they

:39:23. > :39:25.were on, they left families. Another tweet, absolutely Loving Frank, the

:39:26. > :39:33.World War II veteran, saying it as it is about benefits. Take note,

:39:34. > :39:36.David Cameron. Another text, there are no words in language to commend

:39:37. > :39:41.highly enough the actions of these brave men. Lest we forget.

:39:42. > :39:45.Jean-Pierre has said this is the least we can do to remember the

:39:46. > :39:49.bravery of the people who fought for our freedom. Thank you for your

:39:50. > :39:51.comments, keep getting in touch about Armistice and everything else

:39:52. > :39:56.we are talking about here on the programme today. Some breaking news

:39:57. > :40:01.to bring you about the Russian doping scandal. Russia's athletics

:40:02. > :40:06.Federation say they were given 72 hours from the publication of the

:40:07. > :40:09.report on doping to respond to the claims in writing. A spokeswoman

:40:10. > :40:19.says they are currently working on the response and will send it to the

:40:20. > :40:23.IAAF by Thursday evening. Let's catch up with the weather. Carol is

:40:24. > :40:26.here with us. There is a storm on the way, Carol.

:40:27. > :40:35.The first named storm of the season. Abigail is what it will be called. A

:40:36. > :40:40.big gale. It will not affect everything. It will be largely

:40:41. > :40:43.north-west Scotland and northern Scotland but it could clip the north

:40:44. > :40:48.coast of Northern Ireland as well. Looking at gusts of wind from the

:40:49. > :40:52.storm at about 70 or 80 mph, locally across parts of Scotland it could

:40:53. > :40:56.even be 90 mph. The Met office have literally just issued an amber

:40:57. > :41:02.weather warning, which means be prepared for this storm for the

:41:03. > :41:05.outer Hebrides, the far north of Greenland, Scotland -- mainland

:41:06. > :41:09.Scotland, and a big one, not affecting everyone though. The rest

:41:10. > :41:13.of us will be windy but nowhere near as windy as that. It is quite

:41:14. > :41:17.interesting how they have named the storms forced by Javi little list to

:41:18. > :41:22.show you. It is very similar to the way the Americans do it. In

:41:23. > :41:26.alphabetical order, girl, boy, girl, boy, if there is a particularly bad

:41:27. > :41:30.storm, that name like the American hurricane system will never be

:41:31. > :41:34.replaced again. The reason they have named the storms is so that you can

:41:35. > :41:37.focus on them. We will be aware of them, able to track them and it is

:41:38. > :41:41.only substantial storms that will be named, because we have lots of the

:41:42. > :41:46.periods of low pressure that will be named, but ones that are likely to

:41:47. > :41:50.have some impact on the UK or indeed on Ireland, as is the case in this

:41:51. > :41:56.instance. It will be largely north-west in Scotland. How quickly

:41:57. > :41:58.we likely to get through the list? That is the multi-million dollar

:41:59. > :42:02.system, if I knew the answer to that I would be doing the lottery right

:42:03. > :42:05.now. Hopefully not this many. You will notice some of the names have

:42:06. > :42:15.not been put in. The same with the Americans, they don't put in certain

:42:16. > :42:24.letters. Quentin. Ursula. Why could be something else. Jasmine. Z the

:42:25. > :42:28.Zoe. The list will be replaced. I hope we don't see as many storms as

:42:29. > :42:32.this. Today it is not stormy weather we are looking at. Today what we

:42:33. > :42:36.have is much quieter weather. It will be mild once again. It will

:42:37. > :42:40.also be breezy and there will be some rain around as well. For some

:42:41. > :42:43.of us, we will also have some sunny spells. In the sunshine temper just

:42:44. > :42:48.get up to about 17 or indeed 18 Celsius. If we look at the rain, we

:42:49. > :42:50.have the rain across northern England's slipping down across parts

:42:51. > :42:55.of Wales as we go through the course of the day. Still some heavy bursts

:42:56. > :42:59.in it. There will be some sunshine but also some showers. The head of

:43:00. > :43:04.that band of rain a lot of clout, some drizzle and one or two showers

:43:05. > :43:09.as well. Temperatures, this is what you can expect, 11 to 15 or 16

:43:10. > :43:12.Celsius. As we had on through the course of the afternoon we can see

:43:13. > :43:15.in more detail across south-west England a lot of cloud. The rain not

:43:16. > :43:20.too far away from the north coast of Devon and also Cornwall. Southern

:43:21. > :43:24.counties generally, a lot of cloud too with the odd shower here and

:43:25. > :43:26.there, a wee bit of drizzle. In the used some sunshine, parts of

:43:27. > :43:31.Lincolnshire and Norfolk we could have 17 or 18 as the high. Then the

:43:32. > :43:33.rain across Northern Ireland behind it brightening up, a bright

:43:34. > :43:38.afternoon across most of Scotland and some sunshine, but there will be

:43:39. > :43:40.showers in the north and west. Across Northern Ireland and

:43:41. > :43:45.south-west Scotland, we are starting to see some squally showers, very

:43:46. > :43:49.gusty winds around. Moving quite quickly through. For Wales, a cloudy

:43:50. > :43:53.and wet afternoon but still tempters not bad for the stage in November.

:43:54. > :43:57.If we pick up these squally showers moving across Northern Ireland and

:43:58. > :44:03.Scotland, it will move through quite quickly. Gusts of wind 55 mph. It

:44:04. > :44:07.could lead to some tricky travelling conditions for the rush-hour. If you

:44:08. > :44:16.are doing anything to celebrate Diwali, bear that in mind. Behind it

:44:17. > :44:20.will be nippy. But it is Thursday we see the arrival of Abigail on our

:44:21. > :44:23.shores. Heading northwards. You can see from the squeezing isobars it

:44:24. > :44:27.will be windy, particularly on a southern flank. Putting some

:44:28. > :44:31.pictures on that as we go through the course of Thursday, Thursday

:44:32. > :44:34.starts off not a bad note for many of us, some sunshine, the breeze

:44:35. > :44:39.picking up the wind starts to pick up through the day. As the rain

:44:40. > :44:46.arrives. Across Northern Ireland. The large areas in the West, gusts

:44:47. > :44:51.of up to 55 mph. This charge stops at 3pm. It is into the evening and

:44:52. > :44:54.overnight that we have our amber weather warning. The storm really

:44:55. > :44:58.packs a punch. We are talking again just to remind you northern and

:44:59. > :45:06.north-western parts of Scotland. The gusts you can see here are gusts. 70

:45:07. > :45:10.to 80 mph. Locally we could even hit 90 mph so there will be some impact,

:45:11. > :45:13.possibly power cuts, travel disruption as well. It will pass

:45:14. > :45:18.through quite quickly though. The other thing it will do is introduce

:45:19. > :45:21.colder air for a time. There will be some snow on Scottish hills and

:45:25. > :45:29.Friday itself will be colder than it has been for a couple of weeks, but

:45:30. > :45:39.that will be transient. This milder air indicated by the orange colour

:45:40. > :45:42.will sweep across the UK for the weekend. Once again, we will be

:45:43. > :45:45.looking at wet and windy conditions. Not as windy as Abigail will bring

:45:46. > :45:47.us. Finally, as we have a look at Friday, quite a lot of dry weather

:45:48. > :45:50.around. There will be some sunshine as well, some scattered showers too.

:45:51. > :45:56.Temperatures going right down to seven, eight or nine. As I

:45:57. > :45:58.mentioned, the mild conditions, still wet and windy, return to the

:45:59. > :46:07.weekend. the nation

:46:08. > :46:14.will pause for a two-minute silence to remember British military deaths

:46:15. > :46:16.since World War one. This morning veterans have told us

:46:17. > :46:26.why armistice day is so important. Conflict is not a nice place to be.

:46:27. > :46:30.Without that broader understanding of the horrors of war, and that

:46:31. > :46:34.memory of the sacrifices that individuals have had to make,

:46:35. > :46:38.families have had to make, that the regiments that were decimated,

:46:39. > :46:43.particularly during the First World War and second, you couldn't hope to

:46:44. > :46:44.prevent conflict in future. In

:46:45. > :46:46.a moment we'll bring you Victoria's latest video diary following her

:46:47. > :46:54.first chemotherapy session. You can feel alert and normal for a

:46:55. > :46:58.couple of hours, and then suddenly this wave of tiredness hits you and

:46:59. > :47:02.you just have to go to bed. And that, I have to say, that has made

:47:03. > :47:06.me feel a bit disconsolate. Everybody reacts, as I have said

:47:07. > :47:09.before, everybody is different, everybody reacts differently to

:47:10. > :47:10.treatment and I hope you don't mind me sharing this with you.

:47:11. > :47:14.And if you want so share our film you can find it now on our

:47:15. > :47:19.Also coming up in the programme, we'll get reaction after

:47:20. > :47:21.a senior Russian athletics official acknowledged his country does have

:47:22. > :47:36.We know our problem is doping. And of course we should change the

:47:37. > :47:41.mentality of many coaches, especially coaches in the regions.

:47:42. > :47:51.We are going to get some reaction right now to those unemployment

:47:52. > :47:57.figures just out, which show unemployment fell by 103,000 between

:47:58. > :48:01.July and September to 1.75 million. Priti Patel, the employment

:48:02. > :48:05.minister, is in our Westminster studio. Thank you for joining us. It

:48:06. > :48:08.looks like a good overall picture. What is your reaction? Now seeing

:48:09. > :48:11.record levels of implement What is your reaction? Now seeing

:48:12. > :48:17.the country with the implement rate at 73.7%. That is demonstrating

:48:18. > :48:20.security and implement opportunities across the economy, very much

:48:21. > :48:22.through the work of what the government has been doing to secure

:48:23. > :48:25.our economic future and support government has been doing to secure

:48:26. > :48:31.businesses as well when it comes to implement growth and job creation.

:48:32. > :48:35.The chief executive of Tesco has been speaking about job creation.

:48:36. > :48:37.The chief executive of Tesco has is concerned about the new national

:48:38. > :48:42.minimum wage and the impact it might have, that it might lead to jobs

:48:43. > :48:46.being lost. Do you agree with him? We know that the Office for Budget

:48:47. > :48:50.Responsibility also stated that we will see over a million jobs being

:48:51. > :48:54.created as well. I think it is right we have a national living wage so

:48:55. > :48:57.that we can see wages are higher, and at the same time we stopped the

:48:58. > :49:02.subsidising of low wages through welfare. This government was elected

:49:03. > :49:09.with a very clear manifesto pledge and a commitment to reduce the

:49:10. > :49:12.welfare budget, to secure our economy and deal with the problem of

:49:13. > :49:15.low wages which is what we will be doing with the new introduction of

:49:16. > :49:19.the national living wage. Sunday trading would have helped to boost

:49:20. > :49:24.the economy and employment. It has been knocked back by the SNP 's.

:49:25. > :49:30.Should the government have fought harder? When it comes to implement

:49:31. > :49:32.opportunities it is the job of the government could the right

:49:33. > :49:35.conditions for economic growth and job creation and that is what we

:49:36. > :49:39.have been doing. With regards to Sunday trading, there is no doubt

:49:40. > :49:42.that consumer patterns have changed. We see this through supermarkets and

:49:43. > :49:46.people shopping online as well, so there is a great case to be made for

:49:47. > :49:50.reforming our Sunday trading laws and that is something the government

:49:51. > :49:56.will continue to make the case for. Your thoughts on tax credits? There

:49:57. > :50:06.is a report accusing the Treasury of being an acceptably evasive. The

:50:07. > :50:10.Treasury has said it will introduce new measures to mitigate the impact.

:50:11. > :50:16.It has taken a long time though. There has been a Lords revolt, a lot

:50:17. > :50:24.of criticism from the Tory party as well. How has this been handled? The

:50:25. > :50:31.House of Lords voted in an unconstitutional way. Let me be

:50:32. > :50:36.clear here, the Chancellor has stated that he will outline the

:50:37. > :50:39.transitional measures, the support that will help people in the Autumn

:50:40. > :50:44.Statement in about three weeks' time. But I think we have to remind

:50:45. > :50:49.ourselves as to how we got into the situation in the first place. Back

:50:50. > :50:54.in 2010, nine out of ten households and families were being subsidised

:50:55. > :50:57.through tax credits in the form of welfare. We have been very clear

:50:58. > :51:01.that through the welfare reform the destination is still the same, that

:51:02. > :51:07.we will continue to reform welfare, but as the Chancellor said through

:51:08. > :51:14.the Autumn Statement he will outline how he will reform. We will continue

:51:15. > :51:23.to reform welfare. On that point about the people who are impacted as

:51:24. > :51:33.the changes take place, the warnings have been going on for some time.

:51:34. > :51:37.The Chancellor, it looks like the Treasury either failed to see the

:51:38. > :51:39.impact or you didn't care. I would disagree with that come completely

:51:40. > :51:44.on the contrary. The Chancellor has been very clear, he will outline the

:51:45. > :51:47.measures in terms of transitional help and reform and the support he

:51:48. > :52:04.will put in place in the Autumn Statement later on. We are reforming

:52:05. > :52:07.welfare so we can ensure we have lower welfare. We inherited a system

:52:08. > :52:16.back in 2010 that was completely unsustainable. The tax credit bill

:52:17. > :52:20.has shot up from 6 billion since when it was first introduced over

:52:21. > :52:23.?30 billion. That is why we need our welfare reform measures. We will

:52:24. > :52:26.support those families with regards to transitional support and the

:52:27. > :52:31.Chancellor will outline that in the Autumn Statement later this month.

:52:32. > :52:33.The government is doing the right thing, through other measures such

:52:34. > :52:37.as the increase in the national living wage, support with more help

:52:38. > :52:40.with childcare as well. It is that wider package that will help

:52:41. > :52:44.families to ensure they are better off in the long run. Priti Patel,

:52:45. > :52:46.thank you. The rest of our news headlines.

:52:47. > :52:48.As we've just mentioned a two-minutes silence will be

:52:49. > :52:51.observed across the UK at 11 o'clock to remember the nation's war dead.

:52:52. > :52:53.Over 1.2 million British military personnel have been killed

:52:54. > :53:04.I remember the land that I left behind in Normandy. They were very

:53:05. > :53:11.young boys. I will still never forget those boys that I fought

:53:12. > :53:13.with. So Remembrance Day, the 11th of the 11th, is very important to

:53:14. > :53:15.me. Victoria Derbyshire has Victoria Derbyshire has shared the

:53:16. > :53:18.experience of her first chemotherapy session in the video diary she is

:53:19. > :53:20.keeping for this programme. In this part that we are showing

:53:21. > :53:36.in full at 10:00, she explains the on my head, I'm wearing a cold cap,

:53:37. > :53:41.which is to cool my scalp so it reduces the blood flow to my scalp,

:53:42. > :53:44.therefore it reduces the chemotherapy drugs going to my head,

:53:45. > :53:47.which hopefully should minimise or reduce hair loss, which is one of

:53:48. > :53:49.the chemotherapy drugs going to my head, which hopefully should

:53:50. > :53:50.minimise or reduce hair loss, which is one of these

:53:51. > :53:52.One of the heads of Russian athletics has acknowledged that

:53:53. > :53:54.the country does have a problem with doping.

:53:55. > :53:56.Mikahil Butov, the General Secretary of

:53:57. > :53:58.the All-Russia Athletic Federation, has responded to the report

:53:59. > :54:00.by an independent commission which accused his country's sportsmen

:54:01. > :54:13.side at least 14 people are thought to have drowned after a migrant boat

:54:14. > :54:22.sank on its way to grease off the island of Lesbos. What is the

:54:23. > :54:25.latest? All of this happened on the Turkish side of the Aegean Sea so we

:54:26. > :54:27.are relying on the Turkish state media to tell us what actually

:54:28. > :54:33.happened here. We know that 14 people have died. 27 people were

:54:34. > :54:36.rescued. They were pulled from the water and taken to the coast. There

:54:37. > :54:40.is a search going on now to try to find if anyone else perished in

:54:41. > :54:46.these waters. Seven of the people who died here were children, in seas

:54:47. > :54:51.that have seen so much death already. To put this into context,

:54:52. > :54:55.last month alone 160 people, more than that, died in the seas here

:54:56. > :55:04.trying to make this journey from Turkey to Greece to get to Europe.

:55:05. > :55:08.Iraq is and Syrians. They meet in Malta today, the EU leaders, their

:55:09. > :55:13.focus is on the Mediterranean route to Africa, they will be thinking

:55:14. > :55:17.about what happens here. 600,000 people are expected to make this

:55:18. > :55:21.journey before the year is out. Winter is coming. More people will

:55:22. > :55:25.die. So there is pressure on European leaders to try to find a

:55:26. > :55:28.solution to end this migration crisis.

:55:29. > :55:37.Let's catch up with all of the sport. The IAAF president Lord Coe

:55:38. > :55:42.featuring in many of the day's papers as this Russian athletic

:55:43. > :55:45.scandal rolls on. Lord Coe coming in for some heavy criticism actually.

:55:46. > :55:48.Now he is in the firing line, according to the Daily Mail. MPs

:55:49. > :56:03.demand answers on his handling of this doping crisis.

:56:04. > :56:10.Edgewater, the head of UK Athletics having a bit of a go. You can see

:56:11. > :56:16.here in the mirror, the lead from the front, said, Daley Thompson

:56:17. > :56:24.calling for Seb Coe to show strongly the ship. Laming

:56:25. > :56:29.Lord Coe says he will chair a council meeting on Friday where

:56:30. > :56:37.Russia's immediate future in athletics will be decided. The

:56:38. > :56:44.International Olympic Committee president believes Seb Coe and

:56:45. > :56:50.Russia can resolve the situation. We are convinced that the new president

:56:51. > :57:00.Sebastian Coates do whatever is necessary, and also Marussia will

:57:01. > :57:11.cooperate to make progress, and to be sure that Russian athletics is

:57:12. > :57:14.compliant with Wada. This is what it needs to be to participate in the

:57:15. > :57:21.Olympic games will stop Richard Conway has been following the story

:57:22. > :57:24.and interviewed Lord Coe this week. What realistic chance do Marussia

:57:25. > :57:28.having competing in Rio next summer? After listening to Thomas

:57:29. > :57:32.Bach, they will be in courage. He may not have the same kind of

:57:33. > :57:36.profile as Sepp Blatter or even Lord Coe but he is effectively the most

:57:37. > :57:39.important man in world sport. He is the president of the International

:57:40. > :57:52.Olympic committee, and what he says carries weight. If we come back to

:57:53. > :57:56.the international fold and agree with changes and reforms that need

:57:57. > :58:01.to happen according to the Wada International committee report, they

:58:02. > :58:05.can effectively be rehabilitated. It will be a relief to some in Russia

:58:06. > :58:10.because the thought of them missing out on the Rio Olympic Games next

:58:11. > :58:13.year will not be something they want to entertain. They want to be there.

:58:14. > :58:18.So that decision is looming on Friday. Lord Coe under a degree of

:58:19. > :58:20.pressure to make a decision along with his fellow board members will

:58:21. > :58:27.stop with his fellow board members will

:58:28. > :58:42.ground here, which would see Marussia -- Wilsey Russia band.

:58:43. > :58:46.Given the scale of the claims made against them, we will have to wait

:58:47. > :58:52.and see the result of that board meeting on Friday. Thomas Bach

:58:53. > :58:55.saying clearly that Russia can be brought back into the folder they

:58:56. > :59:05.are willing to do the hard work and comply. We have had some breaking

:59:06. > :59:07.news surrounding Lord Coe's predecessor, Lamin Diak. Lamin Diak

:59:08. > :59:16.had been predecessor, Lamin Diak. Lamin Diak

:59:17. > :59:23.the IOC's job for him, I think he has been nudged the -- nudged in

:59:24. > :59:28.that direction. But his time at an end now. That is our sports news

:59:29. > :59:30.correspondent. Another man who has come in for a bit of stick is Sam

:59:31. > :59:31.Burgess, who did not have the stomach to fight for his future in

:59:32. > :59:33.rugby union, that is according to Mike Ford. Burgess arrived in Sydney

:59:34. > :59:47.yesterday after leaving Bath just one year into a three-year deal to

:59:48. > :59:53.rejoin the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Burgess has been explaining his

:59:54. > :59:57.decision to go back to league. Deep down, rugby league gave me a

:59:58. > :00:04.different, something different to rugby union. It is not a mock of

:00:05. > :00:09.rugby union at all. In certain respects, what players go through,

:00:10. > :00:16.what they do, I think rugby league you play with passion and heart. My

:00:17. > :00:22.heart lies in rugby league. The sooner I got back was probably

:00:23. > :00:25.best. Just finally, England's first one-day against Pakistan in Abu

:00:26. > :00:26.Dhabi starting in just under one hour's time. We will keep you

:00:27. > :00:32.up-to-date. Victoria will be back presenting the programme

:00:33. > :00:34.tomorrow for stop a week ago she began the next age in her treatment

:00:35. > :00:47.for breast cancer. She's keeping a video diary for this

:00:52. > :00:55.seen her first film following She's being treated at Ashford

:00:56. > :00:58.and St Peter's Hospitals NHS It's frank, open and doesn't

:00:59. > :01:15.gloss over some of the treatment. Today I'm having my first session

:01:16. > :01:18.of chemotherapy which is part And the chemotherapy drugs are being

:01:19. > :01:25.given to me as a sort of insurance policy, that is how it has been

:01:26. > :01:28.described to me, in case there are any microscopic traces of cancer

:01:29. > :01:33.elsewhere in my body, chemotherapy drugs will kill it,

:01:34. > :01:36.as well as killing all the good On my head I am wearing a cold cap

:01:37. > :01:46.which is to cool my scalp, so it Therefore, it reduces the

:01:47. > :01:55.chemotherapy drugs going to my head, which hopefully should minimise or

:01:56. > :01:58.reduce hair loss which is one of It may or may not work,

:01:59. > :02:05.but we'll see. While

:02:06. > :02:08.the drugs were being pushed into me, What does feel weird is

:02:09. > :02:14.the cold cap and the temperature And that has given me a headache

:02:15. > :02:22.and made me feel sleepy. And I just sort

:02:23. > :02:30.of want to curl up and go to sleep. In the last few days,

:02:31. > :02:33.in the build-up to this first cycle of chemotherapy,

:02:34. > :02:38.I have been feeling quite vexed and anxious and apprehensive, because it

:02:39. > :02:42.is the fear of the unknown. And also really impatient to get

:02:43. > :02:51.the first one under my belt so I Right now, I have got to wear

:02:52. > :02:57.the cold cap for another hour, But I just

:02:58. > :03:06.like I want to go to sleep. I have just got back

:03:07. > :03:11.from the hospital. I was there for about three hours

:03:12. > :03:14.in total. The worst bit for me was

:03:15. > :03:18.definitely wearing the cold cap. When it came off though,

:03:19. > :03:21.the headache just disappeared and the feelings of nausea just

:03:22. > :03:26.went away which is brilliant. There was actually ice

:03:27. > :03:30.on my hair and in the cap. It felt, I think it reminded me

:03:31. > :03:35.of having a hangover. You have a headache,

:03:36. > :03:38.you don't want to talk to anybody Except with a hangover you want

:03:39. > :03:42.to eat lots of carbohydrates and I I am really glad that it is one

:03:43. > :03:50.down and just five to go. I have spent most of

:03:51. > :03:58.the afternoon and evening in bed. As the day has worn on, I have felt

:03:59. > :04:02.increasingly queasy and drained. It's a grey November morning

:04:03. > :04:12.and it's raining a bit, but I don't mind, because I have spent the last

:04:13. > :04:15.day and a half in bed feeling lethargic and not miserable, but

:04:16. > :04:21.just no motivation to do anything. Now, today, I feel, 48 hours after

:04:22. > :04:25.the first session of chemotherapy, I am desperate for some first air so I

:04:26. > :04:29.have come to take Gracie for a walk. I don't want to speak too soon

:04:30. > :04:46.because it is only the first session of chemotherapy I

:04:47. > :04:49.have had, but I feel OK. I know as chemo goes

:04:50. > :04:54.on things get a little bit worse. The next thing I have to do today is

:04:55. > :05:02.inject myself with a drug that will stimulate

:05:03. > :05:13.the growth of white blood cells I usually, I'm all right with

:05:14. > :05:23.the thought of a needle going in. Sorry,

:05:24. > :05:28.you will have to see my belly. Well, the needle has gone in

:05:29. > :05:44.which is fine. Push the solution in,

:05:45. > :05:48.push the solution in, all the way. This will boost my immunity

:05:49. > :05:52.which will protect me from... OK, that was much better

:05:53. > :06:04.than I was expecting. The other thing I need to tell you,

:06:05. > :06:08.which is obviously not important, but I am telling you anyway,

:06:09. > :06:11.is I haven't washed my hair, combed my hair, brushed my hair or done

:06:12. > :06:14.anything on the advice of nurse Emma who said, the longer you can leave

:06:15. > :06:19.it, the better it might be It is six days

:06:20. > :06:29.since I had the first chemotherapy session and the way it has drained

:06:30. > :06:38.my body has made me feel a bit low. You can feel alert and normal

:06:39. > :06:41.for a couple of hours and then suddenly a wave of tiredness hits

:06:42. > :06:44.you and you just have to go to bed. I have to say that has made

:06:45. > :06:47.me feel a bit disconsolate. Everybody reacts, as I have said

:06:48. > :06:50.before, everybody reacts differently to treatment and I hope you don't

:06:51. > :06:53.mind me sharing this with you. There are five more sessions to go

:06:54. > :06:58.and this time will pass, So many of you getting

:06:59. > :08:06.in touch already sending best wishes Most of the time I have been

:08:07. > :08:12.positive and have said out loud it is what it is. Some people have

:08:13. > :08:17.accused me of being brave. The reality is different, I have been

:08:18. > :08:22.scared. I have sat and watched all of your videos and I feel better. I

:08:23. > :08:25.cried because I felt stronger and better. That sounds crazy, but I am

:08:26. > :08:29.sure you will understand. And if you want to share that diary

:08:30. > :08:33.you can find it on our programme where you can also find her first

:08:34. > :08:36.diary following her mastectomy. Victoria will be back presenting

:08:37. > :08:39.the programme tomorrow and I know she's really grateful for all the

:08:40. > :08:54.messages you've been sending her. Beach mat breaking news. Carl Andre,

:08:55. > :08:57.the 74-year-old British grandfather who was killed in Saudi Arabia for

:09:05. > :09:11.Gardner is here. He is finally back. What happened in the end? This story

:09:12. > :09:15.was broken by the Sun newspaper a few weeks ago because the family

:09:16. > :09:20.were afraid he was going to face a huge amount of lashes, the mandatory

:09:21. > :09:25.punishment if you are caught with alcohol offences. The Saudi

:09:31. > :09:35.family, that he would not be lashed. He was caught in August last year in

:09:36. > :09:40.Jeddah with quite a large amount of alcohol, which is illegal in Saudi

:09:41. > :09:45.Arabia. He was sentenced to one year in jail, which he accepted. The

:09:46. > :09:50.problem is he was still in jail well after his sentence and it was a

:09:51. > :09:54.bureaucratic mess up by the Saudis. The family were naturally very

:09:55. > :10:00.concerned that all it would take would be won over officious prison

:10:01. > :10:05.governor or a prison guard to say, this man is still in, he is supposed

:10:06. > :10:11.to be lashed, take him to the courtyard. He is a 3 cancer

:10:12. > :10:16.survivor, and an asthma sufferer, and there were fears for his health.

:10:17. > :10:17.survivor, and an asthma sufferer, On Twitter people have not been

:10:18. > :10:25.sympathetic. People the rules, if you break them, you

:10:26. > :10:28.take the punishment. But his sentence expired in August and he

:10:29. > :10:33.was still in prison on the 20th of October, so it was really bad.

:10:34. > :10:38.Philip Hammond flew to Saudi Arabia, had talks with the king, and hours

:10:39. > :10:44.later he was released. Do we know what Philip Hammond said? Did the

:10:45. > :10:47.British Government effectively have to intervene? David Cameron

:10:48. > :10:57.intervene personally because he had been kept in prison so long. I think

:10:58. > :11:00.to be fair, without the media storm I am not sure. The Foreign Office

:11:01. > :11:04.would say they were doing it quietly, but the fact is he were

:11:05. > :11:08.still in prison well beyond that and I cannot imagine the conditions were

:11:09. > :11:14.particularly great, especially if you do not speak the language, it is

:11:15. > :11:19.not your religion or your food. He had been an expat for 25 years in

:11:20. > :11:22.Saudi Arabia. He knew the risks, and he got caught, but he paid more than

:11:23. > :11:31.the fair price. More than half of all Muslims in the

:11:32. > :11:34.UK believe government policies have had a negative impact on their lives

:11:35. > :11:38.- we'll talk to a man who had to move home after being targeted by

:11:39. > :11:41.racists and a man involved in the government's counter

:11:42. > :11:43.extremism strategy. Talk Talk has confirmed this morning

:11:44. > :11:45.that last month's cyber-attack on its website, will cost the

:11:46. > :11:48.company an estimated ?30 million. The personal details

:11:49. > :11:50.of more than 150,000 customers Of those, more than 15,000 had

:11:51. > :11:56.their bank account numbers But the firm's Chief Executive,

:11:57. > :12:01.Dido Harding, admitted that it's too early to tell the real impact

:12:02. > :12:15.on the business. Our business editor is here. ?30

:12:16. > :12:21.million is a lot of money, how have they arrived at that figure? In a

:12:22. > :12:26.cyber attack external criminal gangs fire loads of data at a company's

:12:27. > :12:31.website and a breakthrough their security defences. They get inside

:12:32. > :12:35.the IT infrastructure of a business. A company has to first of

:12:36. > :12:40.all repaired that bit of the business. The other big cost for

:12:41. > :12:45.them was that the cyber attack took down their website. One of the main

:12:46. > :12:49.ways of selling contracts to the public was not functioning and has

:12:50. > :12:54.only just started functioning today. I interviewed the chief

:12:55. > :12:56.executive earlier today and I asked her that despite the controversy,

:12:57. > :12:59.was the business still performing well.

:13:00. > :13:01.The early signs are quite encouraging.

:13:02. > :13:05.Most customers tell us that they think we have done the right thing.

:13:06. > :13:08.We of course saw an immediate step up or spike in customers cancelling

:13:09. > :13:11.their direct debits, but actually, after a few days, we saw many

:13:12. > :13:13.of those customers reinstating their direct debits again.

:13:14. > :13:15.So time will tell but the early signs are that customers

:13:16. > :13:30.What measures is the company now taking to protect itself in the

:13:31. > :13:34.future? Just like in the physical world, cyber crime is a fact of life

:13:35. > :13:39.and there can be no concrete promises this will not happen again.

:13:40. > :13:43.They have spent a lot more on strengthening security and warning

:13:44. > :13:48.their customers about scam calls, people trying to get their account

:13:49. > :13:52.details. They have also brought in British aerospace to look at their

:13:53. > :13:57.security. British aerospace does cyber security protection. But I

:13:58. > :14:01.asked after three data attacks this year whether TalkTalk could really

:14:02. > :14:04.reassure its customers this would not happen again.

:14:05. > :14:06.TalkTalk takes our customers' security incredibly seriously.

:14:07. > :14:09.We have been spending more and more on security over the

:14:10. > :14:12.last two years, and a lot more over the course of the last three weeks.

:14:13. > :14:16.The reality is, we have to keep building our

:14:17. > :14:18.security walls higher and higher, because the cyber criminals are

:14:19. > :14:23.This is not just about TalkTalk, this is the crime of our era.

:14:24. > :14:26.We are committed to doing everything in our power to protect our

:14:27. > :14:40.What impact has this had on the company? Probably not as bad as they

:14:41. > :14:44.originally thought. When they first announced the attack they said all 4

:14:45. > :14:50.million of their customers could have been affected, they now say it

:14:51. > :14:56.is 150,000. Their share price is up 12% this morning. Lots of TalkTalk

:14:57. > :15:00.customers are tied into contracts of up to two years. Even if you want to

:15:01. > :15:08.leave, you could only do that by encouraging quite a penalty. They

:15:09. > :15:11.have hung on to customers in a way that has been more positive than

:15:12. > :15:15.when they originally announced the attack. ?30 million fine sounds like

:15:16. > :15:20.a lot of money. This is a company that is likely to make ?300 million

:15:21. > :15:25.of profit when it announces its full-year results next spring. You

:15:26. > :15:30.have got to keep that ?30 million in context. It is not that big a price

:15:31. > :15:37.and TalkTalk is a business and it is still performing. Lots of you

:21:58. > :22:00.which was won by another Russian athlete who failed a test

:22:01. > :22:07.We can speak to the British middle distance runner Hannah England who's

:22:08. > :22:18.You have lost out to Russian athletes as we were reporting

:22:19. > :22:22.there, just running through some of the key moments in your career. You

:22:23. > :22:29.have written an article describing what it was like. Talk us through

:22:30. > :22:36.that. I would like to say I have not been as hard done by competitor some

:22:37. > :22:40.of the other athletes. Jenny Meadows who has had her whole life and

:22:41. > :22:45.career affected by this. For me it was more as a developing athlete I

:22:46. > :22:50.would look at these Russian athletes and then, they are phenomenal, how

:22:51. > :22:57.can they be that good? I questioned by own ability to perform on a world

:22:58. > :22:59.stage against girls like that. It is awful to have unrealistic

:23:00. > :23:05.expectations put on you as an athlete by people who are cheating.

:23:06. > :23:09.You say that people around you would often say if a Russian athlete won

:23:10. > :23:15.it must be drugs, but you did not want to take that view. Why not? You

:23:16. > :23:20.do not want to carry that amount of negativity around with you. As an

:23:21. > :23:23.athlete there is an issue of coming out publicly and saying you question

:23:24. > :23:29.the performance without any evidence. That is tricky to do. Also

:23:30. > :23:33.personally in my day to day life, if you open up your mind to the

:23:34. > :23:48.questions of doping allegations and query that all the time, it is

:23:49. > :23:51.exhausting. For me that would be letting them win before you stood on

:23:52. > :23:54.the start line if I am exhausting myself thinking about that. I tried

:23:55. > :23:56.to put it to the back of my mind and concentrate on myself. Now this

:23:57. > :24:02.report has come out clearly detailing in so much depth what has

:24:03. > :24:07.gone on, how do you feel? Furious. It is massively disappointing. It is

:24:08. > :24:12.not a massive surprise, the extent, how high it has gone with the

:24:13. > :24:17.authorities in Russia. It is alarming and disappointing when

:24:18. > :24:20.there are so many of us who train hard in Britain and train clean and

:24:21. > :24:27.to see the depth of the regime in Russia and what has been going on it

:24:28. > :24:37.is upsetting. You were an athlete who question your ability, how did

:24:38. > :24:41.you feel? Really angry. I push myself every day. I have been out

:24:42. > :24:45.already this morning and I am striving to get the best out of my

:24:46. > :24:50.body. The idea that you are competing against someone who is

:24:51. > :24:54.cheating that system and is not being honest. I feel incredibly

:24:55. > :25:01.lucky that I am in a country that believes what they are doing and I

:25:02. > :25:05.can ignore what other athletes are doing. Do you think Russian athlete

:25:06. > :25:13.should be banned from the Olympics next year? Yes, I do. That is for

:25:14. > :25:17.politicians to decide, not the athletes. But when there is this

:25:18. > :25:21.ingrained problem and it has been shown to be so high up in the

:25:22. > :25:25.system, we do not have a choice. Unless they can show that they are

:25:26. > :25:31.really clean, but I do not think that is possible in the next nine

:25:32. > :25:36.months. What about the public and their overall trust in athletics? I

:25:37. > :25:43.think it is a shame people are seeing this as a story and not the

:25:44. > :25:47.hard work that is going on with the clean, British athletes we have got.

:25:48. > :25:53.It is incredibly important it gets sorted out. I hope fans can hold on

:25:54. > :25:58.there and see that we are going to keep the sport up. If you have ever

:25:59. > :26:03.been inspired by a British athlete, keep looking at that and keep being

:26:04. > :26:08.inspired by what your country does and keep enjoying athletics. Are you

:26:09. > :26:16.confident it can be cleaned up? What needs to be done? To be honest I do

:26:17. > :26:23.not know. Should there be lifetime bans? Absolutely, I have always

:26:24. > :26:30.thought that. I also have thought each level should be dealt with on a

:26:31. > :26:35.different level. Some people take things by mistake and others take

:26:36. > :26:41.things systematically like the rest of athletes, it should be done on a

:26:42. > :26:47.case by case basis. Sebastian Coe, what do you think about the way he

:26:48. > :26:52.is handling it? He has got an incredibly hard job at the moment.

:26:53. > :26:57.It is hard to have faith in the IAAF right now. It is hard to comment on

:26:58. > :27:01.it as well because of legal investigations that are ongoing.

:27:02. > :27:08.Lord Coe has got an incredibly hard job and I hope that he does it well.

:27:09. > :27:14.What about other measures, perhaps for the Olympics next year? Should

:27:15. > :27:19.there be mandatory blood testing? 100%. Why would you not blood test

:27:20. > :27:25.everybody? It should be a given regardless. Hannah England, thank

:28:10. > :28:15.Nothing that I think would trigger anything at all.

:28:16. > :28:20.But yeah, I guess, that was the reason I started

:31:42. > :31:44.do you think trigger that? Just fear, really. There were not any

:31:45. > :31:51.Muslim families in the area, they don't know any Muslims, my wife was

:31:52. > :31:54.visibly a Muslim, she wore a standard headscarf, not to cover her

:31:55. > :31:59.face anything, people are just scared of what they don't know. Did

:32:00. > :32:02.it start to happen after you move to a new neighbourhood? We moved to the

:32:03. > :32:13.neighbourhood of Bingham just outside Nottingham after living

:32:14. > :32:17.elsewhere. The report says that the government's

:32:18. > :32:22.I do believe that is the case. They are trying to bring in Draconian

:32:23. > :32:27.laws recently to look at internet history. People here that and they

:32:28. > :32:32.think we don't want this. Then they look for someone to blame. To show

:32:33. > :32:35.we blame it on, the terrorists, who are the terrorists? The Muslims. It

:32:36. > :32:40.is a train of thought I'm getting from a lot of people at the moment.

:32:41. > :32:44.Ad, you are from the foundation who had input into the government's

:32:45. > :32:49.counter extremism policy. Do you think that policy may have helped to

:32:50. > :32:53.fuel the scrum and nation? I think the policy is far more nuanced than

:32:54. > :32:59.that. The Muslim community has supported some of the core

:33:00. > :33:03.principles. For examples and new Islamophobia laws coming into place

:33:04. > :33:06.that looks to tackle irrational fear of Muslims and criminalise

:33:07. > :33:10.aggression, verbal and threatening behaviour, towards Muslims is

:33:11. > :33:14.something that could help people that face this sort of

:33:15. > :33:18.discrimination. So I'm not sure if it has, or certainly the new changes

:33:19. > :33:23.that are coming into place, particularly looking with dealing

:33:24. > :33:26.both with Muslim extremists who are a minority and also the minority of

:33:27. > :33:31.right wing extremists as well. That should certainly help with people in

:33:32. > :33:37.school, people generally, but a case of watch this space and see how it

:33:38. > :33:41.is permitted. When there is a policy of telling people to report any

:33:42. > :33:45.concerns that they have, if they see a change of behaviour or anything

:33:46. > :33:57.that might give rise to concerns, and then you hear from an -- then

:33:58. > :34:12.here from Iman in our film who was reported after she started wearing a

:34:13. > :34:16.Jaye -- a jihab. There is a lot more that needs to be added to the

:34:17. > :34:19.current laws. People should not be wrong leader scrimmage against. The

:34:20. > :34:28.principle should be let the government just how it applies laws.

:34:29. > :34:33.I would certainly agree with that. Azad, does the government have a

:34:34. > :34:38.fine line to tread, to be mindful of the sensitivities around that? Yes,

:34:39. > :34:43.I think the government's approach at the moment is very confused and is

:34:44. > :34:50.confusing the public. What you report showed is that it is having a

:34:51. > :34:54.disproportionate and made a perfect on the Muslim community. If you look

:34:55. > :34:59.at Prevent, and some of the definition of it, democracy is a key

:35:00. > :35:02.value. The government is saying democracy it is an important value

:35:03. > :35:06.and then it invites someone who led a coup in Egypt to number ten. So

:35:07. > :35:14.all of these confusing messages are problematic. I think the government

:35:15. > :35:24.isn't also clear on what it is trying to deal with. Is it trying to

:35:25. > :35:29.deal with a crime. Or is it trying to define and change people's

:35:30. > :35:36.behaviour. That is what a lot of people are concerned about. It is

:35:37. > :35:39.really important for all of us in society to understand what is being

:35:40. > :35:43.impacted is all of our liberties. If I can be given one minute to give

:35:44. > :35:48.you an example, we have recently had a case where a child was reported to

:35:49. > :35:49.children's services because he said my father went to Saudi Arabia and

:35:50. > :35:54.it wasn't a my father went to Saudi Arabia and

:35:55. > :35:55.apparently went on a demonstration. His mother explained that,

:35:56. > :35:59.apparently went on a demonstration. brother -- my husband did go to

:36:00. > :36:02.Saudi Arabia, it was a pilgrimage, brother -- my husband did go to

:36:03. > :36:10.but my son only went to a football match. But that son was reported to

:36:11. > :36:14.a Prevent programme. Children's services were called up, and the

:36:15. > :36:18.parents were told your child will be on our register. How does that make

:36:19. > :36:24.a family feel, how does that make a mother and a father feel? How are

:36:25. > :36:27.they going to feel, I am sending my son to school, my daughter to

:36:28. > :36:32.school, if they talk about Islam, are they going to get reported? I

:36:33. > :36:38.want to get Adam's thoughts on that specific case. That specific case I

:36:39. > :36:40.want to get Adam's thoughts on that would say it is completely wrong and

:36:41. > :36:47.there are clearly ethical problems with how far a nurse or a public

:36:48. > :36:52.servant can be expected to do the job of the police and those spaces

:36:53. > :36:54.that need to be more defined. I think it is problematic when we look

:36:55. > :36:59.at this kind of government strategy as though it is a single strategy

:37:00. > :37:04.and just one entity. It comprises of many different elements. For

:37:05. > :37:08.example, I don't want my child to be exposed in a teaching environment to

:37:09. > :37:12.someone who used to be an extremist. No one would disagree with that. I

:37:13. > :37:15.want my children to be safe from right-wing extremists and also

:37:16. > :37:19.teachers with right wing leanings. We have seen more and more cases of

:37:20. > :37:26.this in schools increasingly everyday. These are elements of the

:37:27. > :37:30.law that are productive. Looking at the online propaganda extremists use

:37:31. > :37:35.is something very worthwhile. I do agree there needs to be much more

:37:36. > :37:38.definition. We can't complete issues. When you talk about heads of

:37:39. > :37:42.states, there are heads of states that come from every single week

:37:43. > :37:45.there are protests regarding every different heads of states that

:37:46. > :37:52.come, many completely unrelated to Islam Feruz. Are you saying it is OK

:37:53. > :37:56.to invite someone that led a coup, that remove the only democratic

:37:57. > :38:05.government in Egypt, is it OK? Then what is the conclusion here? Adam,

:38:06. > :38:09.whilst I totally agree with you... When we look at these sorts of

:38:10. > :38:13.issues, when we look at what example internet laws that come into play,

:38:14. > :38:19.these are things that will impact everybody, these are issues that all

:38:20. > :38:23.Brits have, not just Muslims. Gentlemen, I am really sorry, we are

:38:24. > :38:28.right out of time. At thank you all very much. We

:38:29. > :38:31.We asked to talk to someone from the Home Office ahead of this interview

:38:32. > :39:09.The Home Office did, however, send us this statement:

:39:10. > :39:15.Lots and lots of you still getting in touch with us about Victoria's

:39:16. > :39:17.diary, following her first chemotherapy session. I just want to

:39:18. > :39:21.bring you some more of your comments because so many of your getting in

:39:22. > :39:25.touch. David has treated the same making yourself the story in order

:39:26. > :39:29.to shed light on a social darkness for others is the height of

:39:30. > :39:34.professionalism and bravery. Rose on Twitter. So touching, thank you, you

:39:35. > :39:38.are so brave. Steve has e-mailed, you are a true legend, I am a DJ and

:39:39. > :39:42.just astounded at your bravery for videoing what has happened to you. I

:39:43. > :39:47.lost my parents to cancer when I was 22 and 26 and had a scare myself

:39:48. > :39:50.when I was 35. It was one of the most scary thing is I have ever gone

:39:51. > :39:55.through in my life. I would be honoured to have you as a friend on

:39:56. > :39:58.here and Facebook too if you are OK with that. I do a lot of work with

:39:59. > :40:08.cancers. Heidi has e-mailed to say what a

:40:09. > :40:11.selfless thing to do, so much stigma and mystery surrounding cancer that

:40:12. > :40:15.all we can do is quick with fear in the face of it. You're brave and

:40:16. > :40:18.open account of your story is going a long way to demystify this awful

:40:19. > :40:22.disease and make it seem just a process. Thank you so much,

:40:23. > :40:29.Victoria, keep on keeping on. Best wishes. Kim has text at all the best

:40:30. > :40:36.for you, off tangent, but I loved the nail polish. Much love. A tweet

:40:37. > :40:40.from Kitty, what a courageous woman, giving people a valuable insight

:40:41. > :40:45.into her chemotherapy sessions. Hannah has treated the video on BBC

:40:46. > :40:49.news is so inspiring, and Bill has e-mailed, well done Victoria. My

:40:50. > :40:52.wife went through five years of treatment and had different sentence

:40:53. > :40:56.from each treatment, didn't lose her hair until the last one. You are

:40:57. > :41:03.doing a great job showing it as it is. Well done to you all. Well

:41:04. > :41:07.the fourth Republican debate was supposed to be against romp against

:41:08. > :41:13.Carson but the standout performance was not even a candidate, step

:41:14. > :41:16.forward Gerard Baker, also known as the British guy, the guy with their

:41:17. > :41:23.hair or least flatteringly of all, Humpty Dumpty. Gerard Baker is one

:41:24. > :41:28.of the people moderating this debate. The expectation was that the

:41:29. > :41:33.focus was going to be on Trump against Carson, two of the

:41:34. > :41:36.candidates. But as you mentioned, on twitter it was a different

:41:37. > :41:43.situation. Everyone was wondering where is he from? Is he British. The

:41:44. > :41:47.question about him, is Gerard Baker British, was trending on twitter, a

:41:48. > :41:49.lot of people asking about his accent. If you look at Google

:41:50. > :41:56.trends, the top questions asked about him were where is Gerard Baker

:41:57. > :42:01.from, who is Gerard Baker, is he a US citizen, how old is Gerard Baker

:42:02. > :42:07.and is Gerard Baker British? What are people asking lots of questions.

:42:08. > :42:11.This is a perfect example where you have an audience watching a news

:42:12. > :42:14.event, and this is the great example of the second screen experience

:42:15. > :42:16.because they are on their smartphones or tablets, and asking

:42:17. > :42:21.lots of other questions while they are watching the debate. You saw

:42:22. > :42:26.that happen actually during the UK general election here on the Google

:42:27. > :42:33.trends when the leaders debates were taking place, a lot of people were

:42:34. > :42:37.asking what age is Nicola Sturgeon, what height is David Cameron and so

:42:38. > :42:40.on. It'll have an appetite for information. Thank you very much.

:42:41. > :42:40.Victoria's back tomorrow, and will bring you an interview with

:42:41. > :42:41.the father of one of the people killed in the germanwings air crash,

:42:42. > :42:44.where the pilot deliberately crashed the plane, killing 150 people.

:42:45. > :42:47.Don't forget, you can continue to watch Victoria's video diary on the

:42:48. > :42:50.Thank you for your company today, and for all your messages.

:42:51. > :43:04.I'm here today to tell you the truth.

:43:05. > :43:06.Are you sure you want to continue down this road?

:43:07. > :43:09.Lots of people think they have nothing to lose.

:43:10. > :43:11.They just haven't thought it through.

:43:12. > :43:15.You have the very particular stink of a man out of his depth.

:43:16. > :43:19.You blunder further into a situation you simply do not understand.
