:00:00. > :00:09.interviews and films which have featured on her programme in 2016.
:00:10. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to the programme. We will bring you some of the
:00:18. > :00:19.exclusive interviews and original stories we have brought to you over
:00:20. > :00:33.the last year. First, the conversation that left
:00:34. > :00:39.Lily Allen in tears. She had never visited a refugee camp ref. She met
:00:40. > :00:47.unaccompanied child migrants in Calais and it overwhelmed her.
:00:48. > :00:49.Apologies to refugees became front-page news. This is some of
:00:50. > :01:03.what she saw. Calais's makeshift refugee camp, the
:01:04. > :01:08.Jungle, home to around 10,000 people including children. This place has
:01:09. > :01:12.been partially demolished and reappeared. The French government
:01:13. > :01:22.wanted gun again. Starting to knock it down within weeks. (MUSIC
:01:23. > :01:27.PLAYING). . World away from the squalor, Lily Allen is working on
:01:28. > :01:34.her new album in a studio in North London. What you think you can
:01:35. > :01:44.achieve going there? Save everyone. No... I hope that... On a personal
:01:45. > :01:51.level, to see things for myself so I know and can talk openly about it,
:01:52. > :01:56.having experienced it even if for a short amount of time. Humanise the
:01:57. > :02:01.people that are there because at the moment what I've read, all these
:02:02. > :02:08.articles which are very dehumanising about people and children. You know,
:02:09. > :02:13.I am other. I have two little girls is something was to happen in this
:02:14. > :02:16.country, to me all their dad, I would really hope that other parts
:02:17. > :02:22.of the world would really be more helpful. It would seem to me that
:02:23. > :02:27.there are people who have been driven very far away from what they
:02:28. > :02:29.know and love, stability and comfort. No one would choose to live
:02:30. > :02:47.in the Jungle. Josie Norton is with. They are old
:02:48. > :03:00.friends. She gave up the music industry to start up a charity.
:03:01. > :03:05.Right next to this massive warehouse shows the scale of the charity work
:03:06. > :03:19.that has emerged providing help to those in the Jungle. An army of
:03:20. > :03:25.volunteers. Today, Lily is one of them.
:03:26. > :03:42.This is just kids stuff. My kids said that you could have. Shoes,
:03:43. > :03:55.jackets. Jumpers. A costume which might come in handy! It is actually
:03:56. > :04:02.really sweet. And then it is time to enter the Jungle. She has never been
:04:03. > :04:08.to a refugee camp of any kind so this is her first experience and it
:04:09. > :04:12.is on her doorstep. This is a bus for women and children in the camp.
:04:13. > :04:16.Volunteers tell the leak one of the things they are constantly doing is
:04:17. > :04:22.telling young people, like this young Afghan teenager, to apply for
:04:23. > :04:26.asylum in France rather than constantly risking their lives
:04:27. > :04:35.jumping on trucks for the UK. They are risking their lives every time
:04:36. > :04:43.they go way out, going to major highways. You hear about people
:04:44. > :04:47.killed, you are not hearing about the people who were severely
:04:48. > :04:51.injured. There are number of children that have been severely
:04:52. > :04:56.injured. One of the reasons she is here is to meet for herself children
:04:57. > :05:04.and teenagers who call this place of their home. 1022 unaccompanied
:05:05. > :05:11.children in this camp. With the imminent closure, massive risk of
:05:12. > :05:17.trafficking and getting lost in the system. A huge proportion have a
:05:18. > :05:24.right to be there because they have families or because of legislation
:05:25. > :05:28.passed in May and still there is not one child brought to the UK under
:05:29. > :05:32.the amendment. It was an agreement by the UK government to take in
:05:33. > :05:39.unaccompanied refugee children from Europe. At this gives centre in the,
:05:40. > :05:45.there is a sense of urgency today. Volunteers are recoding details of
:05:46. > :05:50.teenagers so they can keep track of them when it becomes demolished and
:05:51. > :05:59.continued to help those who have the right to be in the UK. What I want
:06:00. > :06:06.is anybody who has family in England that has not started the process.
:06:07. > :06:10.Lily meet this 13-year-old from Afghanistan who says his father is
:06:11. > :06:14.in Birmingham. He has been in the camp for two months. Why did you
:06:15. > :06:24.leave Afghanistan? The camp is closing in a couple of
:06:25. > :06:40.weeks, what are you going to do? Say you have been trying to jump on
:06:41. > :07:06.lorries to get over to the UK, that must be terrifying?
:07:07. > :07:12.I know you are trying to get onto the lorries every night but from
:07:13. > :07:19.what I hearing from the refugee volunteers here in the is that you
:07:20. > :07:32.have a right to be here in the UK. It is started that process?
:07:33. > :07:52.It just seems that at three different intervals in his life, the
:07:53. > :07:58.English have put you in danger. Bombed your country, put you in the
:07:59. > :08:03.hands of the Taliban and now putting you at risk, risking your life, to
:08:04. > :08:08.get you into our country. I apologise on behalf of our country.
:08:09. > :08:27.I am sorry for what we put you through. Sorry.
:08:28. > :09:02.And now I am making you do this in to view! -- interview! It is just
:09:03. > :09:07.desperate, isn't it? Am shocked really that this is happening in
:09:08. > :09:15.such close proximity to where we live. It feels like it is people are
:09:16. > :09:23.just managing to cope. Something has to be done because it is inhumane.
:09:24. > :09:32.Life is easier for me if I put this stuff out of mind, you know? And
:09:33. > :09:36.that is not really a bright and correct response to a humanitarian
:09:37. > :09:47.crisis. This is that these people's lives. This is just a day out of my
:09:48. > :09:52.life but this isn't their existence -- this is their existence and not
:09:53. > :09:59.knowing the uncertainty of what comes next. No one has chosen to be
:10:00. > :10:04.here and it is not fair. You know, it is a lottery. It is a
:10:05. > :10:13.geographical lottery. Ever you are born in the world... I now I would
:10:14. > :10:18.not like to end up here, though. I certainly would not want my children
:10:19. > :10:22.to end up here. Over the last two years we have been following to
:10:23. > :10:33.transgender children aged seven and nine. Girls who were born as boys.
:10:34. > :10:49.How are people at school? Well, at school,...
:10:50. > :11:36.That is rather is and sisters for you. I bet she says the same thing
:11:37. > :12:05.about you. One, two, three. Can I ask you about
:12:06. > :12:11.skirt day? They have an assembly went they talked about difference.
:12:12. > :12:14.But you were not in the assembly. How has it been at school since that
:12:15. > :12:32.day? Really good. After skirt day, how many more girls
:12:33. > :12:42.wanted to play with you? What was that like? That's lovely. And that
:12:43. > :12:54.meant that from that date onwards you could use the girls toilets?
:12:55. > :13:06.I mean, everybody treated like a girl now. Calls you a girls name.
:13:07. > :13:17.People at school, family. Can you even remember being a bully? -- boy.
:13:18. > :13:24.Does it seem like a long time ago? Does it really? And what to you
:13:25. > :13:47.think about when you grow up, do you know what you want to be?
:13:48. > :13:51.You can watch the full interview with Lily and all our other stories
:13:52. > :14:00.on our programme page at: Next, the remarkable story of a man
:14:01. > :14:05.who spent more than 20 years on death-row in America after being
:14:06. > :14:09.wrongly convicted. It was a DNA test that eventually freed Nicky Aris. He
:14:10. > :14:14.sat down with our programme exclusively to give us a rare
:14:15. > :14:19.insight into what it's like to be on death row and survive. When you're
:14:20. > :14:23.faced with the hopelessness that you can't change the outcome, what do
:14:24. > :14:28.you do? I knew I would be executed and no one would believe me. I
:14:29. > :14:33.didn't think DNA would save me, I tried for 15 years with it, so I
:14:34. > :14:38.decided if I had to die them to do it elegantly with the beautiful
:14:39. > :14:43.vernacular replacing the broken person that I was, with love and
:14:44. > :14:47.caring so if I died I still cared enough about myself that if that was
:14:48. > :14:52.the outcome, I died with dignity, and that's something a lot of people
:14:53. > :14:57.are afraid of. We're so afraid to die in an Eton and must way we don't
:14:58. > :15:02.want to go out badly, I had my chance. Really interesting. Explain
:15:03. > :15:08.to our audience how the conviction happened, it came as a result they
:15:09. > :15:12.lie you told the police because you thought that would help them.
:15:13. > :15:17.Initially in December, 1981, I was driving a stolen car, I'm a 20 rock
:15:18. > :15:22.kid, I get pulled over by an officer and an altercation starts when he
:15:23. > :15:25.starts choking me. He blows out of proportion, his gun discharge into
:15:26. > :15:29.the ground, he made up a story of me murdering him, I was put into
:15:30. > :15:34.solitary confinement, I was out of my head on drugs, I went through
:15:35. > :15:44.withdrawals, was facing life and I made up a stupid story from a
:15:45. > :15:47.newspaper article and that was mistake because the police seized on
:15:48. > :15:50.the fact they knew it couldn't be me but they could close a very
:15:51. > :15:53.sensationalised case. I was then arrested for that murder based on
:15:54. > :15:57.another inmate saying I confessed to him. In a really weird set of
:15:58. > :16:00.circumstances I ended up being charged with the rape and murder of
:16:01. > :16:04.a woman I couldn't possibly have met for my own desperation to get out of
:16:05. > :16:08.the initial charges. And that was just the beginning of what became a
:16:09. > :16:13.really crazy set of circumstances that you can never contrive, being
:16:14. > :16:17.put on trial for the initial charges, I was acquitted by a jury
:16:18. > :16:22.and that's what made the prosecutor in Saint. They went after me with
:16:23. > :16:27.the death penalty and they gave me a three-day murder trial at the age of
:16:28. > :16:32.20 and I had no chance. I went through the prospect angrily. I was
:16:33. > :16:36.so bitter that at the age of 20 when I first got put into prison in
:16:37. > :16:39.solitary confinement, I used to beat my head against the wall in
:16:40. > :16:47.frustration because I hated myself. I hated that I let a childhood
:16:48. > :16:50.incident of being attacked and sexually abused make me a drug
:16:51. > :16:55.addict, I ruined all my chances, Victoria, and I felt so ashamed when
:16:56. > :16:59.I went to prison and I felt, God, give me a reason to live. Then an
:17:00. > :17:05.officer took pity on me and let me have some books in a cell that a man
:17:06. > :17:09.committed suicide in and I began educating myself. And 10,000 books
:17:10. > :17:14.later I felt like I had mastered myself. Is that how many you read in
:17:15. > :17:20.that time? More than that, I became very fluid in the study of serology
:17:21. > :17:24.and biology so I could understand DNA, I wrote to Sir Alex Jefferies
:17:25. > :17:30.for many years, the inventor of science, I did all this so I could
:17:31. > :17:34.have a purposeful mind for fighting for myself. Next, the man who claims
:17:35. > :17:38.to have fathered up to 800 children through unlicensed sperm donation.
:17:39. > :17:44.41-year-old Simon Watson is an online sperm donor. Private licensed
:17:45. > :17:49.clinics can. To ?1000 for each cycle of treatment, but Simon charges just
:17:50. > :17:55.?50. His circuses are legal but their unlicensed. -- services. I
:17:56. > :17:59.would like to get the world record, make sure that no one is going to
:18:00. > :18:04.break it, get as many as possible. Usually about one a week pops out. I
:18:05. > :18:07.reckon I've got about 800 or so so far. So in about four years I'd like
:18:08. > :18:22.to crack 1000 if I can. I just picked up the results from
:18:23. > :18:26.the hospital. I Get Tested every three months to show I've got no
:18:27. > :18:33.nasty things. I always post a copy on the Internet so people can see it
:18:34. > :18:49.for themselves. My name is Simon Watson and I'm a sperm donor.
:18:50. > :18:54.If you do it formerly there's loads of hurdles you have to go through,
:18:55. > :18:58.they make you sit through counselling sessions and they make
:18:59. > :19:02.you do huge amounts of tests and then they charge you huge amounts
:19:03. > :19:06.for the service but realistically if you've got a private donor you can
:19:07. > :19:08.go and see them, make them somewhere, get what you want, just
:19:09. > :19:24.go, that's it. Sorted. I charge them ?50, that's it, for
:19:25. > :19:27.the magic potion pot. Then I give them a syringe with the pot and then
:19:28. > :19:46.leave them to it. Most of the people I help out ten to
:19:47. > :19:50.be from Facebook. When people join the site, I see their name and I
:19:51. > :19:55.send them a message explaining the service I provide. It's like
:19:56. > :20:00.artificial insemination only and they like the fact I do that, and
:20:01. > :20:15.they're not going to get anything funny out of it.
:20:16. > :20:21.Because I charge people for my service, there's a lot of people who
:20:22. > :20:26.would be happy to provide the service with no charge. But then
:20:27. > :20:30.they want a bit of fun out of the customers. I'm not knocking them,
:20:31. > :20:35.it's up to them, some ladies are looking for that too. Some lady
:20:36. > :20:39.couples, like the ones today, they are booked into this hotel. I won't
:20:40. > :20:47.know who they are unless they wanted to contact me later on. I don't plan
:20:48. > :20:51.to stop. I would like to get the world record ever, make sure no one
:20:52. > :20:55.is ever going to break it, get as many as possible. Normally about one
:20:56. > :21:00.a week pops out, I think I've got about 800 or so so far. Within about
:21:01. > :21:05.four years I'd like to crack 1000. Before we go it was one of the most
:21:06. > :21:09.remarkable achievements of the year, Team GB finished second in the
:21:10. > :21:14.medals table in Rio. We beat China, and Russia, and in the process
:21:15. > :21:19.became the first country ever to improve on a home medal haul at the
:21:20. > :21:23.next games winning 67 gongs, to more than London 2012. Here's a quick
:21:24. > :22:23.reminder of those two magic weeks in August.
:22:24. > :22:35.COMMENTATOR: Mo Farah is going to get gold for Great Britain again!
:22:36. > :22:39.Will it be Britain, will it be Australia? It certainly will be
:22:40. > :22:48.Great Britain! Andy Murray is a double Olympic
:22:49. > :24:31.gold-medallist. Thank you very much for watching.
:24:32. > :24:33.We're back on air on January the third. In the meantime watch our
:24:34. > :24:44.films on our programme page: After the fairly windy spell
:24:45. > :24:48.of weather that many saw over the festive period,
:24:49. > :24:49.things are turning colder Here's the scene in
:24:50. > :24:54.Highland Scotland on Monday, Some sunshine to see out Boxing Day
:24:55. > :24:59.too across the Isle of Wight.
