Hello it's Thursday, it's 9.15, I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
have hit the centre of the Indonesian capital Jakarta. | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
Gunfire has been heard and bodies have been seen lying on the streets. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
There seems to be a body lying in the middle of the street who police | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
say is either the victim or the suicide bomber that carried out the | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
attack. Police say the situation | :00:38. | :00:38. | |
is now under control. We'll bring you the latest | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
on this developing story Also ahead; the world of athletics | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
is bracing itself for another report which is expected to reveal | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
"unbelievable" levels of corruption And why the NHS, prison service, | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
police and teachers all need urgent reform and training in how to deal | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
with transgender people. Hello, welcome to the programme, | :01:02. | :01:11. | |

Victoria Derbyshire. First this morning, at least seven | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
people are dead after a series of large explosions and gun | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
attacks in the centre Five of those killed | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
are reported to be attackers. Security forces say they are now | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
in control of the situation. The assault began mid-morning | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
in Indonesia about five hours ago with a massive blast outside | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
a United Nations building, followed by about half | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
a dozen other explosions, including at a Starbucks | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
cafe and at a cinema. There is no indication yet | :02:10. | :02:10. | |
of who might be behind the attacks. This is what some have been telling | :02:11. | :02:26. | |
the BBC in the past few hours. I'm at the intersection at the | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
central business district in Jakarta where an explosion, at least two | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
explosions from taken place a couple of hours ago now. One hit a small | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
police post at the small intersection and the other seems to | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
have hit a Starbucks cafe. The impact from the explosion's | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
completely destroyed the cafe. There's debris everywhere and | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
shattered glass. There seems to be a body lying in the middle of the | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
street who police say is either the victim or the suicide bomber that | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
carried out the attack. The security presence is, you know, there are | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
hundreds of armed police, there's military bomb squads, there's | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
snipers here around the building and at the intersection. There are | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
Armoured trucks. I recently spoke to the Chief of the National | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Intelligence agency who told me this was definitely terrorism but that | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
there are no indications yet that this is related at all to Islamic | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
state. According to police, at least five or six attackers, terrorists. | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
They're terrorists who throw a bomb and some snipers from the terrorists | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
and also there are at least six explosions in the located incident. | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
There's been rumours in Jakarta that there are some explosions in other | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
parts of the cities but the police have denied that. Only in central | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
Jakarta near the department store. But police have been trying to warn | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
the people to be more careful because they might be putting some | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
bombs around the area, in the Jakarta area. The first thing we | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
heard was about 10. 45, there was an explosion. We looked out the windows | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
and saw the police posts near this building had been blown up. There | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
were three bodies on the roadway, I'm sure you have seen the photos of | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
that, and that was a bit scary. Shortly afterward, there was a | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
series of explosions which I think may have been grenade blasts but I | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
don't know, but there were explosions actually in this building | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
and the building shook a little bit. I understand they were on the ground | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
floor of the building, there was a Starbucks cafe. I didn't see that | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
happen, of course, but we certainly felt it and they were quite loud. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Then we made our way gradually downstairs through emergency exits | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
and, on the way, at various points, we could hear what sounded like | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
gunfire or small explosions of some kind. Every now and then, a bunch of | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
security police with sub-machine-guns and the like | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
wandered in here and out again. There are lots of people around | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
who're ready and willing to protect us, but there are no obvious signs | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
of activity going on. I can tell at least. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
We'll keep you updated on that throughout the programme. The latest | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
from the Indonesian Police, they are saying the attackers in Jakarta | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
imitated the attacks in Paris. They are saying the situation is under | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
control. We'll keep you updated as we get any more. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
The world athletics governing body, the IAAF, is braced for further | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
The World Anti-Doping Agency is revealing another report | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
into the doping and corruption scandal - and it's not expected | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
Its first report, in November, led to Russia being suspended | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
Back in August, the World Anti-Doping Agency or WADA, | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
launched an urgent investigation after claims were made | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
about widespread doping in international athletics. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
The Sunday Times and a German broadcaster claimed hundreds | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
of medal-winning athletes had suspicious blood test results. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
On top of that, they alleged the results weren't followed up | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
by the International Association of Athletics Federations, | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
The files were examined by two of the world's | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
Values in the database, there is no question in my mind that athletics | :06:54. | :07:06. | |
World Championships and Olympic events have been contaminated by | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
doping. Some results were simply grotesque in their extremity and | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
quite easily the worst I've ever seen. | :07:15. | :07:15. | |
There were a series of damning revelations. | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
Not only did they find what they called "state-sponsored" | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
doping amongst Russian athletes, but also that the London 2012 | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Olympics was "sabotaged" by "widespread inaction" | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
against athletes with suspicious doping profiles. | :07:33. | :07:45. | |
Here is a bit more on part 1 of the WADA Report. | :07:46. | :08:33. | |
It's worse than we thought. It has the effect of affecting the results | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
on the field of play and athletes are both in Russia and abroad are | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
suffering as a result of that. I was devastated. Shocked at the | :08:43. | :09:26. | |
level and depth and the audacity really that people thought they | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
could get away with this and that they have got away with it for so | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
long. Angry on behalf of my sport, at the damage that has been done to | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
athletics by this and I really do think that action has to be taken. | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
In the aftermath of the report's release, | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
The council has voted to suspend the from competing in international | :09:46. | :10:09. | |
The council has voted to suspend the Russian Federation. It's done so by | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
22-1 votes, the strongest sanction that we could apply tonight and it | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
is why our council has sent such a strong message. So the Russians were | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
banned but the Spotlight began to shift to the IAAF and the pressure | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
on Lord Coe increased. There are no claims of corruption | :10:32. | :10:32. | |
against him, but there are growing allegations of a cover up | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
within his organisation. One of Lord Coe's close colleagues, | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
Nick Davies, stepped aside in December after the BBC saw | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
an internal email from the IAAF which showed a plan to delay naming | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Russian drugs cheats in the run up to Moscow's 2013 | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
World Championships. Davies says he hasn't done anything | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
wrong but says doesn't Here's what our Sports Editor, | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
Dan Roan, said at the time: It was laid out in an e-mail before | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
the event by the IAAF's deputy secretary, until tonight the right | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
hand man of President Lord Coe, although there is no suggestion he | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
was aware of the proposal. Writing to former consultant, son of the | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
former President, Davies said: Davies also suggested using the | :11:20. | :11:41. | |
political influence of Coe, then Vice-President, and his marketing | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
company CSM for an unofficial PR campaign to stop what he called | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
planned attacks on Russia by the British media. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
It is a damning blow to the credibility of the organisation. | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
That's really shocking because, what the IAAF should have been doing is | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
saying, if we know people are cheating, we are going to get them, | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
expose them and make sure they don't compete, that's our prime job, not | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
worrying about the PR strategy for trying to make sure the stories | :12:08. | :12:08. | |
don't come out in the first place. And today's report is expected | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
to look more closely Senior figures are likely to be | :12:14. | :12:14. | |
criticised in a further blow There've been no allegations | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
against Lord Coe, but questions are sure to be asked over | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
whether he's the person to clean Jamie Baulch was part of the British | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
4 x 100 metres relay side who who were denied a gold | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
at the 1997 World Athletics They were upgraded 13 years later | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
when it emerged that one of the US We are told unbelievable levels of | :12:40. | :12:51. | |
corruption in the sports governing body will be revealed. What are you | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
anticipating? Well, yes, I think it's a very sad state of affairs for | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
people like me and the rest of the sport and people who love athletics. | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
It's obviously brown envelopes going left and right and it makes me sick | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
because people like me get affected by it, livelihoods get changed and I | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
just think it needs to be exposed and out there. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
How do you feel as this is emerging? Is it reassuring you that it's being | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
looked at or further undermining your trust? I've lost a lot of | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
respect and trust for the sport, you know. I'm actually happy I've | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
retired and I'm out of the it, to be honest because, watching it now, | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
it's very saddening. My thoughts are, basically, if you can, you | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
know, I blame the people who are the sponsors because it's all about | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
money and greened at the end of the day and if sponsors like Nike didn't | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
endorse people like Justin Gatland and paid these people who've done | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
injustice, I think the system would be a lot better. Obviously a very | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
injustice, I think the system would complex picture and it's all | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
allegations at this stage, but do you feel that a grip is being got? | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Yes. I think we are slowly getting there, due to the fact that we are | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
talking about it right now and I just hope that Lord Coe can change | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
it. I hope what he did for the Olympics four years ago was | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
fantastic and he can do a brilliant job now, I'm hoping he can, it's a | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
lot of pressure on the guy and I wouldn't want to be in his shoes | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
right now. You have been directly impacted on by people that you were | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
competing against, having taken drugs, a medal was subsequently | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
given to you but many years later. What impact does it have on someone | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
like you and others who feel that you have lost out when you've | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
trained cleanly and honestly? Well, you know, for me, I did this sport | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
when I started, when I was 11 because I love running. When you get | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
very good at it, you start getting paid which is fantastic and you want | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
to get medals and achieve and make your parents and family proud of | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
you. When you miss out on a world gold medal or Olympic gold medal, | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
there's the limitations, the damage limitation, you could be talking | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
about a million pounds of revenue from a silver to a gold and it's not | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
just about that, it's very saddening. There's people who've | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
come forward on the rostrum got upgraded to third. Having that | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
wonderful moment in history is gone which is a shame. | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
There's still a long way to go before transgender people get | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
equal treatment in the UK - that's the finding of a new report. | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
And reports keep coming den of reports of sexual assault against | :15:51. | :16:03. | |
men on New Year's Eve. We will hear from two British teenagers who said | :16:04. | :16:04. | |
they were targeted in Paris. At least seven people are killed | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
in a series of large explosions and gunfire in the heart | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
of Indonesia's capital, The authorities said the attackers | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
were copying terror actions in Paris last year. They said they believe | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
there were at least seven attackers, including suicide bombers, and five | :16:27. | :16:27. | |
of them are among the dead. Hywel Davies is in Jakarta and works | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
in an office block close Tell us what you saw and heard? I'm | :16:31. | :16:44. | |
about 150 metres away from the scene of the explosion. We started to get | :16:45. | :16:58. | |
initial reports, it sounded like fireworks, we didn't pay too much | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
attention, five, six, seven what sounded like small explosions but | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
then reports started to come through on social media, police arrived in | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
the area, some sort of incident started to unfold. My understanding, | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
being close to the scene and the Indonesian people but I'm with, it | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
does sound like they've targeted a small police outpost in the centre | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
of Jakarta. There is a very big roundabout in the centre of the city | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
which is surrounded by a number of exclusive 5-star hotels and office | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
buildings, and there is a small police outpost on the edge of that, | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
and it sounds as though the initial blasts were at that roundabout, at | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
that police outpost. There is a Starbucks cafe opposite that police | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
outpost and it sounds like there were a couple of blasts there as | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
well. Some reports that the Starbucks was targeted and then they | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
targeted the police outpost but the understanding here is that it was | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
the police in Jakarta which have been targeted and that it was pure | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
colour incidents that Starbucks was very close by. -- pure coincidence. | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
It wasn't concerning as much initially from the blasts because | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
the blasts themselves, the rumour was that they were quite small. The | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
concerning factor was when our office was put into lockdown, the | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
reports of gunfire, various office was put into lockdown, the | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
of attackers fleeing the scene on motorbikes with automatic weapons, | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
and that was the most concerning factor. From what we understand it | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
is under control now. The roads heading into Jakarta have been | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
closed, they are completely free of traffic, which is quite a strange | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
situation in itself because normally the city is so busy, but slowly but | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
surely things do seem to be coming back to normal here. There is quite | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
a lot of misunderstanding. People here in Jakarta are still not that | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
clear as to what went on. Thank you very much. Just to let you know the | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
latest report coming through from AFP from the police in Jakarta is | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
that they are saying they believed a group affiliated to a local group | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
affiliated to Islamic State is feared to have carried out the | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
attacks, copying the attacks in Paris last November. We will keep | :19:42. | :19:42. | |
you updated. Here in the UK, hundreds more police | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
officers are to carry guns and double the number of armed | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
vehicles in London to respond Five people, including a woman | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
and a baby, are killed in a car bomb attack at the police | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
headquarters of a Turkish town. 40 were injured. | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
Could films like The Revenant or Carol be in line for an Oscar? Later | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
today we will find out who has been nominated to win in the 88 Academy | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
Awards in Los Angeles. Let's catch up with all the sport | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
now and join Will Perry. And England are playing | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
South Africa in the third Test. England's third test against a | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
bigger under way in Dallas by, the hosts won the toss and decided to | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
bat, probably because they did not have a wicketkeeper. Quinton de Kock | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
apparently fell over at home last night, he is ruled out, they have | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
flowed in Dane Vilas from Port Elizabeth, he arrived in the last 20 | :20:39. | :20:38. | |
minutes or so. South Africa 40 without loss, England 1-0 up in the | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
series so far. Wins the Leicester, Stoke and | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
Sunderland in the Premier League Darts lied. Arsenal's lead at the | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
top cut after an incredible 3-3 draw at Liverpool, many calling that the | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
game of the season so far. And the world anti-doping agency | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
will repeat a real -- will release a report at TPM this afternoon | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
claiming there was no way members of the IAAF, including Sceptre, the | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
current president, could have been aware of the extent of doping. | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
And Naomi Brodie has gone out of qualifying in Australia, Dan Evans | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
inaction now, James qualifying in Australia, Dan Evans | :21:26. | :21:26. | |
We will keep you up to date. The NHS, prison service, | :21:27. | :21:27. | |
police and teachers all need urgent reform and training in how to deal | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
with transgender people. That's one of the findings | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
of the first parliamentary report into the issue by the Commons Women | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
and Equalities Committee. It is now asking the Government | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
to draw up a new strategy to tackle the problem within | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
the next six months. The report says that transgender | :21:41. | :21:41. | |
people still experience high levels of transphobia on a daily basis | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
and that the NHS is "failing in its legal duty" to provide equal | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
access to services and guarantee zero tolerance of | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
transphobic behaviour. It calls for police officers to have | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
mandatory training for dealing And for transgender people | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
to have the choice of an X on their passport instead | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
of male or female. Our reporter Jim Reed has been | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
looking at some of the issues I felt uncomfortable around girls | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
because I saw something in them that I liked and that I identified with, | :22:08. | :22:34. | |
and I didn't feel comfortable around guys because... | :22:35. | :22:44. | |
such pressure to be masculine. I was literally waiting for three | :22:45. | :23:23. | |
years to speak to somebody about this and I thought, | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
"I might not even be here in three The gender recognition process, | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
as it is currently, It's unnecessary and you're | :23:31. | :24:13. | |
being judged by other people, you're having other people | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
look at you and say, "Well, I agree with you | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
on what you identify as." For the first time, MPs have | :24:26. | :24:39. | |
actually listened to trans people The only thing that I'm concerned | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
about is whether MPs are going to take the report | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
and they're actually going to run with it and they're actually | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
going to make sure that all the stuff gets into law | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
and this actually happens. Let's go live to the Conservative MP | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
Maria Miller who's behind the report Thank you for joining us. What | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
surprised you the most about this issue? We took evidence from more | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
than 260 people and organisations for our inquiry, the first from the | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
new Women And Equalities Committee committee. We were shocked by the | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
level of abuse and public service failure when it comes to trans | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
people. The report has got more than 30 recommendations and I hope the | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
Government looks carefully at what we have recommended. If there was | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
one headline you could put out there, but would it be in terms of | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
the area that needs to be looked at and what needs to change? I think | :25:43. | :25:51. | |
the area that particularly concerned us was the NHS, and the NHS should | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
be there for all of us but at the moment the evidence we have received | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
would suggest it is not there in the way it needs to be for trans people. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
That is about making sure we have proper training for people within | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
the NHS about how to support trans people but also that there is no | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
delay there in people receiving the support that they need, because | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
particularly for young people that delay can see not just damaging but | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
tragic. What changes specifically should happen? We need to make sure | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
that NHS England put in place continuous professional development | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
training for all its medics throughout the health service, but | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
also that the regulatory authorities take misconduct in this area | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
seriously because we received evidence which would suggest that | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
sometimes, in some parts of the NHS, trans people are under receiving end | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
of significant discrimination. You have compared the treatment of | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
transgender people in this country with the treatment of gay people, | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
where you have said that Britain has led the world. What does the way | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
transgender people have been treated say about this country, in your | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
view? I believe that, as a nation, we have, at our heart, issues of | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
equality, and indeed attitudes on this are changing. Only today the | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
Fawcett Society, an organisation known for its campaigning zeal on | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
women's issues, have issued a really important piece of research which so | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
is that 44% of people are already aware of the fact that gender isn't | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
simply a straightforward as male or female. I think attitudes are | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
changing, films like The Danish Girl and announcements by people like | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
Caitlin Jenne, OK it is Hollywood and not normal life for people in | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
Britain, but they start to raise awareness of the issue and prompt | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
the need for change. At the moment, our public services and laws are | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
lagging behind public opinion. Maria Miller, thank you very much. | :28:00. | :28:06. | |
Here in the studio, Fox Fisher, and Dr James Barrett. | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
Fox, you are female to male transgender, what do you think about | :28:10. | :28:17. | |
what you have heard? It sounds promising, I'm female to male but | :28:18. | :28:25. | |
also on the non-binary spectrum. But I am very excited about changes or | :28:26. | :28:32. | |
acknowledgement of non-binary people in the UK. So you would prefer not | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
to have to define yourself as female or male? But you have to currently? | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
Absolutely. I took part in a documentary a few years ago and | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
Absolutely. I took part in a not able to be non-binary them | :28:48. | :28:48. | |
because they didn't think the audience would understand it. Now we | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
are starting to see more people, also celebrities, coming out as | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
non-binary which help people understand what it is like to be | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
between male and female, to define as that. Did you only discover you | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
were non-binary having transitioned? Yes. Presumably you thought when she | :29:04. | :29:09. | |
became male everything would be right and you discover that wasn't | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
the case? It has been a long process, it started with me not | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
defining as a woman, that started my journey. I realised I didn't fully | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
define as a man either. But regardless of that I'm very excited | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
about awareness for trans-people across the board in the past ball or | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
five years, it has really exploded and we have seen a lot of changes | :29:33. | :29:34. | |
happening. What you are describing is something when you are grubbing | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
up, you don't understand it within yourself and there are no role | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
models around you, little understanding of the -- when you are | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
growing up. It is difficult then to see how society as a whole gets to | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
grip on something that is relatively new, all relatively new in terms of | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
our understanding and what is out there? I think our perception is | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
shifting, we are learning as we are going on, language is shifting as | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
well. I was not born knowing the terminology about trans-issues but I | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
have developed that and I think we are all learning as we go along. | :30:12. | :30:14. | |
Maria Miller was highlighting certain issues in the NHS, have you | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
come across issues in the NHS? I have, and I'm a film I get and | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
record other people story so I have got quite a few people but have told | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
me how things were not that great for them and how it affected their | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
mental health and was very costly for them, if they decided to go | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
privately in order to be seen quicker. If they didn't do that, and | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
this is the case for me with my personal story, if I didn't go | :30:42. | :30:48. | |
Private at the time that I did, I don't think I would still be around | :30:49. | :30:49. | |
now. What with the issues? The process is | :30:50. | :31:09. | |
quite long winded, the GP would try to talk me out of it, but I had | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
thought about it for about a decade and overcome a lot of personal | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
hurdles. Once I was in the system, it did take a very, very long time | :31:18. | :31:24. | |
and I was quite frustrated with the amount of time that it took. It | :31:25. | :31:24. | |
affected me psychologically. Dr Barrett, how common is it for a | :31:25. | :31:36. | |
GP to try to talk transgenders out of this? Extremely common. I can | :31:37. | :31:42. | |
recall somebody who went to see their GP and their GP confidently | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
assured them the NHS didn't do this sort of thing and the patient was | :31:48. | :31:49. | |
very disappointed, upset and wrote to their MP in order to complain and | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
say that the NHS should do this sort of thing and the MP quickly | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
established that actually it does, there are NHS gender identity | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
clinics and the oldest is actually 50 years old and the GP had simply | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
confidently said something that wasn't true. So for complete | :32:06. | :32:12. | |
clarification, what should happen, what is available? There are seven | :32:13. | :32:18. | |
gender clinics in the country, not geographically positioned where you | :32:19. | :32:20. | |
would wish, but there are seven. There is no need for patients to see | :32:21. | :32:27. | |
a psychiatrist before referral, they can be referred directly by their GP | :32:28. | :32:29. | |
and, working in a gender identity clinic, as I do, I would rather | :32:30. | :32:35. | |
people were briskly referred because local psychiatric services are | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
unlikely to be helpful because the patients essentially don't have a | :32:39. | :32:41. | |
psychiatric problem. What they need to see is a gender identity clinic | :32:42. | :32:46. | |
as speedily as possible. With MPs talking about this now and the | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
infrastructure in place as it is, should this be a relatively simple | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
issue to put right? Belatedly but very welcomely, the NHS has put a | :32:55. | :32:58. | |
considerable amount of funding into gender identity services. I think | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
historically they felt it can't be that big an issue or it may go | :33:04. | :33:07. | |
historically they felt it can't be and there is now a recognition that | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
it won't go away and the money is there. Of course, if you throw money | :33:12. | :33:15. | |
at something, it won't make things better in a week because you have to | :33:16. | :33:19. | |
train up all the clinicians involved from the many disciplines involved, | :33:20. | :33:27. | |
surgery, speech therapy, chronology, hair removal, psychology and the | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
report has said quite properly why is this part of psychiatric | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
services, we couldn't agree more. It isn't obvious that it's going to fit | :33:37. | :33:47. | |
into endochronology because there's more to it and there's more to it | :33:48. | :33:49. | |
than surge rip. It's a specialism on its own because there are so many | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
disciplines involved. I'm the President of the British Association | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
of gender identity specialists and we are pushing for recognition that | :33:59. | :34:02. | |
this is a little specialism in its own right and that people involved | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
are going to come from different areas of clinical practice and need | :34:07. | :34:10. | |
to be sort of separately specialised in this area and working in well | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
established clinics with proper training so that patients who arrive | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
can be confident that they are seeing somebody who knows what they | :34:19. | :34:31. | |
are doing. Maria Miller was talking about Hollywood, we had Hollywood | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
stars, but does that help, does that sort of awareness coming through | :34:36. | :34:39. | |
make a difference? I think it does because it's in the public | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
perception, but to look at these people and imagine that they are | :34:43. | :34:46. | |
spokespeople for the trans community is just not possible because they | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
have access to all sorts of stuff that other people don't like | :34:52. | :34:56. | |
finances to be able to pay for surgeries and have stuff happen | :34:57. | :35:00. | |
very, very quickly but it does help public perception. I agree it does | :35:01. | :35:09. | |
but transpeople are people, they are welders, fitters, teachers, they are | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
ordinary people living ordinary lives and when they hit the Health | :35:14. | :35:16. | |
Service which is the bit that concerns me, it's not so much | :35:17. | :35:21. | |
clinics where people like I work, the level of dissatisfaction with | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
people who work in clinics runs at half a percent, it's the rest of the | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
Health Service. A month ago I travelled to a conference with a | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
surgeon who does gender reassignment surgery and he related a patient | :35:35. | :35:39. | |
he'd operated on, she did well, went back to where she live and had a | :35:40. | :35:45. | |
minor post-op complication and was admitted to a hospital that didn't | :35:46. | :35:52. | |
know what they were doing and they persistently referred to her as "he" | :35:53. | :35:59. | |
and put her on a male ward. One in five GPs is reluctant to prescribe | :36:00. | :36:03. | |
when we advise them exactly how to do so. In all of Buckinghamshire, | :36:04. | :36:09. | |
there isn't a single GP who will prescribe for a single patient on | :36:10. | :36:16. | |
the basis of a decision taken by a single GP who sat on a committee. | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
The local endochronologyists won't prescribe either and say they lack | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
the training or experience which I find somewhat implausible. We have | :36:26. | :36:28. | |
flagged this up to NHS England and said, this is a crisis coming down | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
the track, you can't have a whole county where there is no hormone | :36:34. | :36:40. | |
treatment given out. Nobody seems to be doing anything. The GPs say it's | :36:41. | :36:47. | |
terribly specialist. The How specialist is it? How many | :36:48. | :36:50. | |
transgender people would you estimate there are? It's very | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
difficult. You would need to do population surveys. At the maximum, | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
probably about 1% of the population, but people seeking medical | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
intervention, less than that. We are still talking large numbers of | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
individuals which would be handleable if we had a joined up | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
service with GPs prepared to take specialist and vice from clinics and | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
go with it. There are always claims that, I'm not experienced at doing | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
this, but if you never do it, you never get the experience so things | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
will never change. Exactly. En The patients are younger than me, you | :37:29. | :37:31. | |
are younger than me, I'll be dead, who is going to prescribe for you | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
then! ? Thank you both very much. Lots of people getting in touch. | :37:37. | :37:41. | |
Lucy says it's society that has a long way to go, health care | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
education and so on. Equality for trans people seriously needs | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
improving. Young people are being encouraged | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
to train as social workers when they graduate but will | :37:57. | :37:58. | |
the stress of the job We'll speak to two women | :37:59. | :38:01. | |
about their experiences Chris Grayling has become the first | :38:02. | :38:14. | |
MP to say he may campaign about leaving the European Union. Norman | :38:15. | :38:19. | |
Smith is in Westminster for us. We are interrupting you tea break | :38:20. | :38:26. | |
sorry. David Cameron has said campaigners can campaign, is it now | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
open season? Chris Grayling very carefully doesn't actually break | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
ranks and publicly say, I am going to campaign to leave, but frankly he | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
does the next best thing. I don't think anyone's under any illusions. | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
He is going to argue for Britain to leave the EU. I was reading his | :38:45. | :38:51. | |
Telegraph article and he's not calling for a minor tweak, he says | :38:52. | :38:53. | |
at present we can't defend our national interests. He says that | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
very often we are outvoted by eurozone countries even though we | :39:00. | :39:02. | |
are not in the eurozone and our rules are decided by the European | :39:03. | :39:05. | |
Court of Justice, rather than our own courts. So he is pretty | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
passionate I think and pretty clear that he wants to leave. There's been | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
very striking sentence in the article. Let me read it to you: | :39:16. | :39:23. | |
Staying in the EU with current terms of membership unchanged would be | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
disastrous for Britain. Disastrous. So no doubt where he stands. He's | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
not sitting on the fence. He's pretty much absolutely clear he | :39:35. | :39:36. | |
wants to pull out. What is interesting is whether this will be | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
the prelude to an all out Civil War, whether they are going to be gouging | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
each other's eyes out. Mr Grayling appeals not to descend into a rerun | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
of the glacial Civil War. He says, as Conservatives on different sides | :39:52. | :39:57. | |
of the argument, we need to treat each other's views with respect and | :39:58. | :40:02. | |
good grace. We need to remain friends. Now, the question is, will | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
the Tory party party be able to fight this referendum without | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
getting stuck into each other like they did with the Maastricht saga | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
with John Major, or will feelings over Europe just be too much and | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
inevitably it will descend into carnage? Well, this morning, we | :40:22. | :40:28. | |
heard from Damien Green, part of the pro-European stronger in Europe | :40:29. | :40:33. | |
campaign and he too appealed to Tories to try and do this without | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
spilling blood all over the place. This is what he said. I don't think | :40:38. | :40:43. | |
Chris is right. I think that there are some myths pedalled in his | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
article. It's surprising that he says where we are is disastrous in | :40:48. | :40:54. | |
that he and I fought a successful general election campaign less than | :40:55. | :40:55. | |
a year ago pointing out Britain's deficits coming down, jobs being | :40:56. | :41:01. | |
created, apprenticeships being created, inflation is low, | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
unemployment is low. That is as a member of the European Union, so I | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
think his language about that is pretty overstated. | :41:10. | :41:17. | |
Now, what is interesting is, how do Downing Street view this and feel | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
about Chris Grayling tip-toeing up to the wire and saying, hi, I'm | :41:22. | :41:25. | |
going to campaign to pull out? They think it's not much of a big deal. | :41:26. | :41:32. | |
They are pretty relaxed. Why? Bluntly, no offence to Mr Grayling, | :41:33. | :41:35. | |
is because it's Mr Grayling. If it would have been someone like Theresa | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
May, well, if it would have been Theresa May who many people are | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
wondering will she campaign to pull out, that would have been entirely a | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
different matter. Similarly if it would have been the Mayor of London, | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
Boris Johnson, if he'd have written that article, you rather think | :41:52. | :41:54. | |
Number Ten would be in a nervous sweat. What is interesting to me is, | :41:55. | :41:58. | |
we are only potentially a few weeks away from all this kicking off | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
because Mr Cameron's talking about trying to get a deal hammered out at | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
the summit, so we are getting towards the stumbling blocks. | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
There's no sign of the big beasts being prepared to lead the out | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
campaign and you wonder how much of a disadvantage that is going to be | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
to those who want to leave the EU. Thank you Norman. Get back to your | :42:23. | :42:24. | |
tea and paper! See you later. Let's get the latest weather | :42:25. | :42:33. | |
update with Matt Taylor. We keep hearing that snow is on the | :42:34. | :42:39. | |
way. It's been a messy mix across the UK. | :42:40. | :42:49. | |
Some had ice, rain, sleet, snow and some have soon different types of | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
weather. Let me show you why. It can come down to 0.5 of a degree or so | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
as to whether you get rain or snow. This time of year, what falls from | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
the sky when temperatures are freezing will be snow initially. It | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
false into warmer air, it felts, the freezing level gets lower and low | :43:08. | :43:11. | |
sore at this point, the snow will follow. If you live up a hill, you | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
could be in the snow, down in the valley, you could be in the rain | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
that. 'S why people close to each other see different weather types. | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
You can see the green fields in the valley and up the hill, the | :43:27. | :43:32. | |
snow-laden skies. You need to pick up the intensity, the heavier the | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
rain, the colder the air gets. The water evaporates and the snow | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
eventually follows it to the surface. You can bring colder air | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
into the surface too, bringing the snow down and affecting all of us. | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
I learnt something from the weather reports every day, whether it's a | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
new word or explanation on how things work, brilliant thank you! | :43:58. | :44:03. | |
We continue this messy wintry mix across the UK. Certainly today it | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
has been pretty interesting so far and we'll continue to sea a mixture | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
of sunshine, rain, sleet and snow through the rest of the day too. | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
This picture from Morpeth is where it's been snowing in the last hour | :44:17. | :44:22. | |
in Northumberland. Heavy snow flak flakes and it's continuing to snow | :44:23. | :44:29. | |
in north-east England. The sleet and snow pushing south. Further west, | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
wintry flurries into the north-west of Scotland, Northern Ireland | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
developing into the afternoon, but many western areas should stay dry | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
and sunny. To go with the cloud, the rain sleet and snow from parts of | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
south-east England, East Anglia Lincolnshire, this is where we could | :44:47. | :44:51. | |
see severe gales. Gusts of up to 60mph. Wherever you are, whether you | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
have the sunshine, or not, it's going to be feeling raw in the wind. | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
Snow is still falling in the showers in north-west Scotland and we could | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
see some lying snow by the end of the afternoon. | :45:08. | :45:09. | |
In Northern Ireland, the showers start to get going. A sunny | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
afternoon in Wales but it will feel cold in the wind. One or two | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
showers, a bit of sleet is possible over the higher ground. Temperatures | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
may read about three to eight this afternoon but the strength of the | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
wind, especially in the east, will make it feel subzero out there. If | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
you have light winds at the moment, it doesn't feel too bad but wait | :45:31. | :45:36. | |
until the wind gets going. Stronger winds depart into the North Sea. | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
We'll see some wintry showers across the western areas too. Perhaps more | :45:42. | :45:45. | |
widely a problem will be the ice as temperatures drop below freezing for | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
just about all of us. Could get as low as minus eight or ten in parts | :45:50. | :45:55. | |
of Scotland, if not a nudge lower. Cold, icy start tomorrow. Lying snow | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
in the north and west. A fine balance between rain, sleet and snow | :46:02. | :46:05. | |
once again but if anything, more drier weather around tomorrow. A bit | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
of sunshine but it will still feel chilly, even with highs of around | :46:11. | :46:11. | |
three to eight. amount of time that it took. It | :46:12. | :46:19. | |
affected me psychologically. What follows is higher pressure in | :46:20. | :46:27. | |
the UK, which means some very cold weather indeed. We could see | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
temperatures across Scotland drop as low as -15, if not lower, which will | :46:32. | :46:36. | |
put us into the coldest spell for four or five years. But at least by | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
day we should all see some crisp winter sunshine. | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
I'm Joanna Gosling, in for Victoria Derbyshire. | :46:44. | :46:49. | |
Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us. | :46:50. | :46:49. | |
The Indonesian capital Jakarta is targeted in a series of gun and bomb | :46:50. | :46:58. | |
attacks. It is thought by the the attackers and two civilians have | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
been killed. We will get the latest and speak to eyewitnesses at the | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
scene. There seems to be a body lying in the middle of the street, | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
who police say is either the victim or the suicide bomber that carried | :47:15. | :47:15. | |
out the attack. Sexual assaults on women | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
on New Year's Eve have now been reported across six | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
European countries. We will hear from a British teenager | :47:23. | :47:29. | |
who was attacked in Paris. The Revenant, starring Leonardo | :47:30. | :47:31. | |
DiCaprio, is expected to lead the list of Oscar-nominated in Los | :47:32. | :47:39. | |
Angeles later. We will speak to two previous winners. | :47:40. | :47:45. | |
At least seven people are killed in a gun and bomb attack | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
in the heart of Indonesia's capital, Jakarta. | :47:50. | :47:51. | |
The national police spokesman says those behind the attacks | :47:52. | :47:53. | |
were probably linked to the Islamic State terror group. | :47:54. | :47:55. | |
They believe there were at least seven attackers, including suicide | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
bombers, and that five of them are among the dead. | :47:59. | :48:05. | |
Police say that the attack is now over. | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
Here in the UK, hundreds more police officers will carry guns, | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
and the number of armed response vehicles will double in response | :48:17. | :48:19. | |
The World Health Organisation is expected to declare | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
West Africa's Ebola epidemic officially over later today. | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
The epidemic has claimed more than 11000 lives | :48:29. | :48:30. | |
since it began in December 2013. | :48:31. | :48:31. | |
Let's catch up with the latest from the cricket in South Africa | :48:32. | :48:34. | |
and the rest of the day's sport, with Will Perry. | :48:35. | :48:37. | |
We're an hour and a half into that Third test in Johannesburg. | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
The hosts won the toss and decided to bat, probably because they didn't | :48:43. | :48:43. | |
Quinton de Kock apparently fell over at home last night, | :48:44. | :48:48. | |
he's ruled out and and they've flown in Dane Vilas from Port Elizabeth, | :48:49. | :48:51. | |
he's arrived in the last 45 minutes or so. | :48:52. | :48:53. | |
England have had a breakthrough at the Wanderers. | :48:54. | :48:55. | |
Ben stokes with the wicket after Stiaan van Zyl attempted this | :48:56. | :48:58. | |
pull shot, easy money for Johnny Bairstow | :48:59. | :49:00. | |
Dean Algar and the retired captain Hashim Amla are at the crease. | :49:01. | :49:10. | |
England one-up in the four-match series with one match to play. | :49:11. | :49:23. | |
As you've ben hearing The World anti doping agency will release a report | :49:24. | :49:32. | |
at 2pm this afternoon where they claim there was no | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
way members of the IAAF Council, including current president | :49:37. | :49:37. | |
Sebastian Coe, could have been unaware of the extent of doping. | :49:38. | :49:40. | |
The report, written by WADA's first president, Dick Pound, | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
A huge 23 goals in seven Premier League games last night. | :49:44. | :49:55. | |
The pick of them at Anfield, where Arsenal and Liverpool drew | :49:56. | :49:57. | |
3-3, many calling it the game of the season so far. | :49:58. | :50:00. | |
Arsenal were on course for victory when Olivier Giroud's second | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
of the evening put them 3-2 up shortly after the break. | :50:05. | :50:07. | |
Liverpool left it late though. | :50:08. | :50:08. | |
Joe Allen with a volley in the 90th minute to earn his side a point - | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
much to the delight of his manager Jurgen Klopp. | :50:13. | :50:14. | |
That point for Arsenal means their lead at the top | :50:15. | :50:17. | |
of the table is cut, with Leicester level on 43 points | :50:18. | :50:24. | |
after a 1-0 win at Tottenham, Robert Huth with a header 7 minutes | :50:25. | :50:27. | |
Sunderland moved above neighbours Newcastle with a 4-2 win at Swansea | :50:28. | :50:36. | |
who are just a point above the bottom three now. | :50:37. | :50:38. | |
Jermaine Defoe with a hat-trick at the Liberty Stadium. | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
There were also wins for Southampton and Stoke. | :50:42. | :50:46. | |
We will be speaking to Matthew Hoggard at 10:30am and of course | :50:47. | :50:51. | |
will keep you up-to-date with that test in Johannesburg. | :50:52. | :50:53. | |
We're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11am this morning. | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
Your contributions are really welcome. | :50:58. | :50:58. | |
Texts will be charged at the standard network rate. | :50:59. | :51:00. | |
We have been talking about transgender equality, lots of people | :51:01. | :51:06. | |
getting in touch. An anonymous text saying, why would teachers need | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
retraining to deal with transgender people? Surely you need to be an | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
adult have a sex change, teachers deal with people younger than that. | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
On Twitter, concerned about trans-phobia and wider development | :51:20. | :51:25. | |
around the trans-enquiry, far more should be done to ensure protection. | :51:26. | :51:29. | |
People should be educated about transgender, I learned when two | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
non-binary people worked in the school where I work. | :51:36. | :51:38. | |

Let's get more on the news that at least seven people are dead | :51:53. | :51:55. | |
after a series of large explosions and gun attacks in the centre | :51:56. | :51:58. | |
Indonesian police have said the attackers imitated the terror | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
Let's speak to Rebecca Henschke, who's Head of the BBC | :52:02. | :52:11. | |
It seems it is over, et al latest. The Indonesian police say it is | :52:12. | :52:21. | |
under control, that there have been casualties, mostly on the attackers | :52:22. | :52:24. | |
people side. We are getting reports that one of the victims is a foreign | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
national. The attack took place not far from the United Nations office | :52:29. | :52:30. | |
in the centre of Jakarta, an far from the United Nations office | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
at the Starbucks cafe which has been completely destroyed and also at a | :52:36. | :52:38. | |
police post, so clearly targeting Western targets and also the | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
Indonesian police. Lots of targets, the police | :52:43. | :52:45. | |
described it as a Paris style attack. Seven dead, five of them | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
thought to be the attackers, so in terms of actually successfully | :52:50. | :52:56. | |
attacking civilians, it sounds like they were dealt with pretty quickly? | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
That's right, much quicker than perhaps Mumbai, which went on for | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
days, as similar kind of attack, so the Indonesian police have been able | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
to control the situation quickly. In the years following the Bali bombing | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
the Indonesian police have set up a number of anti-terrorism forces | :53:15. | :53:16. | |
which have been praised for being able to stop attacks like this from | :53:17. | :53:23. | |
happening in Indonesia, said there has not been a serious | :53:24. | :53:24. | |
happening in Indonesia, said there attack in the country for quite some | :53:25. | :53:25. | |
time. What reaction has there been to | :53:26. | :53:29. | |
this? People on social media particularly | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
have really taken on the hashtag of We Are Not Afraid and there are | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
calls for people to come to that location where the attack was | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
tomorrow in white to show they are not afraid. But there has been, of | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
course, a feeling of insecurity. This is the heart of Jakarta, a | :53:50. | :53:56. | |
place where people come and hang out, cinemas, usually a very safe | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
and bustling place, so, for me, personally, I lived there, there is | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
a feeling of fear, I guess. And, as with Paris, the sort of | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
places that people meet up and relax, soft targets? | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
Very much, a place that people spend a lot of time late into the night, a | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
popular cafe, popular cinemas, a bustling shopping area, also close | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
to the financial hub, close to the BBC bureau there and the United | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
Nations. You said about the police response | :54:26. | :54:31. | |
being praised previously, they obviously learned lessons from | :54:32. | :54:34. | |
previous incidents. What sort of measures have they brought in to | :54:35. | :54:38. | |
ensure that they can respond so quickly to something like this? | :54:39. | :54:43. | |
ensure that they can respond so There has been a special | :54:44. | :54:44. | |
anti-terrorism force setup that has received funds from the Australian | :54:45. | :54:47. | |
Government but also working closely with the United states and before | :54:48. | :54:53. | |
Christmas security was increased in Jakarta because there were warnings | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
that an attack like this would happen, and that was based on | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
intelligence coming from Australia. The Indonesian police arrested nine | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
suspects at that time and they said there were conversations they were | :55:07. | :55:12. | |
picking up that there would be a concept in Jakarta, some kind of | :55:13. | :55:15. | |
attack like this, so at that stage they said they had stopped the | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
attack from happening but now they think it was just postponed until | :55:19. | :55:20. | |
now. Thank you. | :55:21. | :55:36. | |
We can talk to Angga Saragih, whose office is near the scene | :55:37. | :55:39. | |
I heard the first explosion, there is some work for transport happening | :55:40. | :55:51. | |
outside and it is was not until people started going to the windows | :55:52. | :55:55. | |
to see what was happening, you could see panic on the road, people | :55:56. | :55:59. | |
abandoning their motorbikes, some people driving off really quickly. I | :56:00. | :56:07. | |
saw people flocking to see what was happening as well, which was weird, | :56:08. | :56:16. | |
not a smart thing to do. Then however many explosions happened, a | :56:17. | :56:25. | |
couple of shootings as well. That is when me and a couple of colleagues | :56:26. | :56:28. | |
took the decision that it might not be such a good idea to be near the | :56:29. | :56:34. | |
windows, so we sort of went back to our desks, turned on the TV and sort | :56:35. | :56:40. | |
of took it all in through Twitter and all that to see what was | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
happening. There were people sending them videos as well from office | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
buildings that are really, really close by. There are a couple of | :56:51. | :56:57. | |
videos of the attackers loving themselves up going around on social | :56:58. | :57:03. | |
media platforms, one of which is very popular in Indonesia, people | :57:04. | :57:11. | |
sharing that as well. Then we started seeing heavy military | :57:12. | :57:14. | |
vehicles rolling in, cordoning the main roads. We started checking back | :57:15. | :57:26. | |
every half hour to see what was happening and probably about an hour | :57:27. | :57:36. | |
ago they allowed us to leave and we started to see the buses going back | :57:37. | :57:39. | |
on operations but only in limited areas, they wouldn't get past the | :57:40. | :57:49. | |
hotel roundabout, they would turn around, so I guess they are still | :57:50. | :57:50. | |
cordoning off that area to gather evidence or whatever. Thank you very | :57:51. | :57:58. | |
much indeed for giving us such a contented description of what has | :57:59. | :58:02. | |
been unfolding there in Jakarta. Some breaking news to bring you from | :58:03. | :58:06. | |
West Midlands police, two more men, both aged 26, we are hearing, have | :58:07. | :58:11. | |
been arrested in Walsall on suspicion of Syrian related | :58:12. | :58:14. | |
terrorism offences, that just through from West Midlands police. | :58:15. | :58:19. | |
Two arrests in Walsall. We will keep you updated as we get any more. | :58:20. | :58:27. | |
Still to come for 11am: As the world of athletics braces itself for | :58:28. | :58:30. | |
another report due to reveal more corruption in the governing body, we | :58:31. | :58:36. | |
hear the thoughts of one athlete hoping to make it to reopen. | :58:37. | :58:42. | |
It's two weeks since New Year's Eve and the number of reported sex | :58:43. | :58:45. | |
assaults on women on that night just keeps rising. | :58:46. | :58:47. | |
They've now been recorded in six European countries, | :58:48. | :58:49. | |
with more than 500 incidents in Germany alone. | :58:50. | :58:51. | |
But the accounts of what happened were slow to emerge via social | :58:52. | :58:54. | |
media, and some women have made accusations that there was a virtual | :58:55. | :58:56. | |
media blackout in the days after it happened. | :58:57. | :58:58. | |
The German government says it will make it easier to deport asylum | :58:59. | :59:07. | |
seekers who commit crimes, after police there revealed most | :59:08. | :59:09. | |
of the suspects are foreign nationals. | :59:10. | :59:10. | |
In a moment we'll hear from a teenager from London who says | :59:11. | :59:18. | |
she was assaulted as she celebrated New Year in Paris. | :59:19. | :59:18. | |
But first let's take a look at what's been | :59:19. | :59:19. | |
Police forces around Europe are continuing to investigate claims | :59:20. | :59:24. | |
of sexual assault against women on New Year's Eve. | :59:25. | :59:27. | |
More than 500 criminal complaints have been filed in Germany relating | :59:28. | :59:30. | |
to incidents occurring that night, with 40% alleging sexual assault. | :59:31. | :59:33. | |
The attacks in Cologne appear to have been organised around | :59:34. | :59:47. | |
the city's train station - and it's thought up to | :59:48. | :59:54. | |
1000 men in groups surrounded women, penning them in, before attacking. | :59:55. | :00:08. | |
The attackers have been described as being of North African | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
This in a country where more than a million asylum seekers | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Elsewhere in Germany, there have been reports | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
Police in Hamburg have told the BBC that more than 50 women now have | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
reported attacks with similar tactics, while complaints have also | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
been filed in Berlin, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Police in Kalmar, in Sweden, have received 11 sexual harassment | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
complaints regarding New Year's Eve, including from women | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
In Salzburg, in Austria, two men have been charged | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
with sexually assaulting women on New Year's Eve and New Year's | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
In Zurich, in Switzerland, a total of six women now | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
they were sexually assaulted after entering a crowd of multiple | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
men with dark coloured skin, the authorities say. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
And in Helsinki, in Finland, police say they are investigating | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
two possible criminal offences relating to harassment. | :01:07. | :01:06. | |
They're centred around a gathering of asylum seekers. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
Now a teenager from London has told this programme that she was sexually | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
assaulted by a group of men while celebrating | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Klaudia Fior who's 18 was near the Eiffel Tower | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
with her friend Kamali Brown at around 1am when she says a group | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
of men who'd gathered nearby started touching them both. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
They say they spoke to passing police officers but they couldn't | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
take the matter further because they couldn't | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
A short while later Klaudia says she was dancing in a crowd | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
when a group of five to six men surrounded her and sexually | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
assaulted her when she was on the ground. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
We've tried to get in touch with police in Paris; they've told | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
us they're looking into our enquiry and will get back to us. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Klaudia and Kamali are here and I should add both of them have | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
waived their right to anonymity in this case and have agreed to talk | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Thank you both very much for coming in. Talk us through what happened | :01:59. | :02:10. | |
because you were in Paris and it started out near the Eiffel Tower as | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
an evening of celebration with no obvious problems? We didn't have any | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
plans so we were in Paris so we said, the Eiffel Tower. We were on | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
the bridge by the Eiffel Tower playing music. After a while as we | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
got closer to the tower, we had families coming over to us and | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
dancing with us so we created a crowd around us. Then there was | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
police trucks going through the mid Sol we had to move to the side. -- | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
middle so we had to move to the side. That's when the men started | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
touching us in places inappropriate. That's when the police asked us did | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
they want us to do anything but because they weren't able to | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
communicate to us in English, they dismissed it and walked off. Explain | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
what happened, were the men passing? There was a load of people at the | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
side and in front of us. This is at the moment when there were loads of | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
crowds on the bridge, everyone had to move down because the police were | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
coming up. We were moving down and there were loads of men manoeuvering | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
their hand through people in order to get to us. And were they in a | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
crowd together and what age, could you tell where they were from? From | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
when the attack happened, they weren't men that I would say all | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
knew each other, they were quite random and unfamiliar with each | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
other, but I would say they were all between 30s and 40s. How did you | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
both feel at the early stages when you were being groped - you spoke to | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
the police and they couldn't help? At that point I didn't know the | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
extent that could lead to. I was just like, they were probably drunk | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
it's not that serious, so at that moment in time I was just getting | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
angry but didn't feel no deeper emotion towards it until it | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
happened. More frustrated that people were touching us, rather than | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
like scared. Most of them would touch us and walk away and there | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
were still families around us. We didn't feel like like we were | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
threatened. So when did things change? When we were walking, it got | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
to a point where the police said we didn't have to move any more so we | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
stopped on the bridge. The music was playing throughout the whole time. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Members of the public started to dance again so we were like, oh | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
everything's fine, we don't have to worry any more and then... And this | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
was families? Yes, people younger than us that were still there with | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
us and then there was a moment where I went into, they'd created a circle | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
for everyone to dance in the middle. Who is they? All the public and the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
men that were there as well. So I went into the middle and within a | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
split second, a man had groped my bum. I turned around to see who it | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
was to just be like "can you stop" and, as I done that, that's when all | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
the men grabbed me and made me fall to the floor. So you were | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
effectively swallowed up by a group of men? Yes. Where were you at this | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
point? She fell in front of me but I couldn't see her, there were so many | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
men on top of her. How many men? Five or six. Then there was still a | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
lot of men trying to get in on it around the sides. I couldn't... I | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
felt so helpless. She was just on the floor. At first I didn't | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
think... At first I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but Kamani | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
managed to get a recording of it by accident, it's a dance we do often | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
so she was about to record that and from the video you can see the way | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
the men approached me at first, it seemed as if they were coming to | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
dance with me in the middle so Kamani thought they were having fun | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
with me. Then after a while you could hear me screaming and Kamani | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
tried to get through but it wasn't that easy. As much as there were | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
five to six men on top of me, directly next to me, there was | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
another 50 surrounding us. So you were lying on the ground? I was | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
crumpled up in a ball. Trying to protect yourself? Yes. What were | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
they doing? They grabbed me clothes and completely ripped them apart so | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
I was butt naked on the floor. What did they rip off, everything? I had | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
a unitard on, so once they ripped one part of it, the whole thing came | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
apart. Then they started grabbing like parts of my body. Then they | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
snatched my chains off. Then after that happened, that's when they | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
started penetrating me with their hands. Was there anything that you | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
could do that was going through your mind? I was genuinely just under so | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
much shock and my initial reaction was, don't let them touch you, don't | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
let them get too close to me so I thought if I put myself in a little | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
ball I would be able to stop them from getting too close to me. I | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
tried to get up but because there was so many people there, every time | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
I lifted myself up, someone would push me back down. So honestly, as | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
much as it only lasted two to three minutes, it felt like it was going | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
on for ever and I felt completely powerless that I couldn't do | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
anything to get myself out of the situation. The fact is you were in a | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
situation where there were lots of other people around. I'm sure all | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
sorts of things were going through your mind at the time but could you | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
believe that in an environment where you felt safe a short while ago, | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
suddenly you were caught up in something like that? That's what was | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
really frightening. When I stood up, I didn't feel upset about what | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
happened, what upset me is the amount of people that had the same | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
intention of doing that. I was like, how could so many people unfamiliar | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
with each other think that what they are doing is OK and to think out of | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
all the people on the bridge at the time, there was only one man who | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
came and helped me up and led me off to the side. | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
There was so many people watching. Some people who were younger than | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
us, after the incident happened, they disappeared, no-one helped us | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
afterwards. Some of the men were asking us where our parents were as | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
if it excused their actions. So they spoke English? Some of them, quite | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
brief English, they didn't understand everything. Did they | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
speak French, could you tell where they were from? Mostly they were | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
French but mostly they just laughed or looked at us and kind of | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
dismissed as if as if we weren't saying anything. Afterwards, what | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
did they do? Afterwards when the man who helped me came and got me and | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
took me to the side, I stood at the side and because they'd ripped my | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
clothes I was practically naked so Kamali gave me her jacket. What was | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
really disgusting is that, I was obviously in tears and there was men | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
still standing next to me touching me thinking that that was OK for | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
them to do that. Kamali obviously was like "we're leaving", so we | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
started walking around the bridge and there was about another seven | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
men still following us all the way down to the bottom of the bridge | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
coming up to me and they were like saying "do you want help" but they | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
were the same Kneen had touched me because there were some faces that I | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
had recognised. I was just like, we were like give us the number for the | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
police and they laughed, ignored us and followed us. They followed us | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
all the way to the bottom of the bridge until we got to a cafe and | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
they realised that we had called the police. After the incident happened, | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
all of a sudden there was not a single police officer on the bridge | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
so there was no-one we could turn to and ask for help until we got to the | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
restaurant. How quickly did the police respond? We waited like 20 | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
minutes. What was their attitude when you reported it? When we were | :10:40. | :10:40. | |
speaking to the police officers who came and got us and dropped us at | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
the station, some of them were quite sympathetic with the situation | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
regardless of I don't think they could understand everything I was | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
saying but some were quite dismissive. One lady seemed like... | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
She kept asking if I drank alcohol and the way she asked it seemed as | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
if I'd drunk that's the reason they came to me so it was like my fault | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
because I'd been drinking, so they were ignorant to the situation. When | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
we got to the police station, the police officers were quite nice and | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
they did kind of make sure we were all right. | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
How do you feel about it now? To be honest, everyone expects me to be | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
really down whereas I'm not, that's not how I feel whatsoever, to me | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
it's kind of showing that at first I was like, I feel afraid to be myself | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
again because all I was doing that night was being myself, being the | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
normal bubbly self that I am, so when that happened I sort of felt I | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
was being punished for that. After when that happened I sort of felt I | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
while, I came to realise that I hadn't done anything wrong that | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
night, it was not my fault in any way, shape or form, no matter how | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
anyone puts it. After a while I came to terms with it and thought, I | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
can't blame myself for what happened because it wasn't my fault. I don't | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
let it affect me but there are moments like after it happened I | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
didn't leave my house for a while because I didn't want to be | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
surrounded by crowds and when I did leave the house I went to Oxford | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
Circus and it was so busy and I had a panic attack because there were so | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
many people that I didn't know. There are moments when I don't want | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
to be here, I don't want to do that because it's changed the way I view | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
things. At the same time, it's not had that much of a major effect but | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
I don't know if that's because of the mindset that I've put myself in. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
Being there as well, Kamali, obviously you are being incredibly | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
supportive for Klaudia, it's been very hard not being able to help | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
your friend at the time? The worst thing was not being able to get to | :12:53. | :12:53. | |
her, the fact that so many people were on top of her and you couldn't | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
grab them, none of them would come off her, none would like acknowledge | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
the fact that they were doing something wrong. Then even | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
afterwards, I've never seen her so distressed and it was so painful to | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
watch her in tears and I just hated all of it. And right now I'm happen | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
nay she's handling it so well and that she's so mentally strong | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
because I don't think I could handle it as well as she's handling it. | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Klaudia and Kamali. Paul on Twitter feels sorry for the girls, | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
disgusting, and another Twitter viewer says very brave. I said | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
earlier we have tried to talk to the police in Paris. Our BBC reporter in | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
the City's told us that they have spoken to women's defence groups | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
about claims on assaults on women on New Year's Eve. They say they didn't | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
record a spike in reports that night. We should be clear that the | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
case we have just been talking about is not linked to the attacks on | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
women in Cologne but people are starting to ask what was behind | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
those attacks. An official report said the combination of sexual | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
violence and robbery had not been seen in Germany. It refers to | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
something which means group sexual harassment in crowds. It's a term | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
that's been used to describe incidents reported in Cairo's Tahrir | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Square at the time of the Egyptian revolution, but what does it mean? | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
Let's talk to Sally Nabil in our Cairo brew row. Bureau, tell us | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
about that? It's a day-to-day phenomena. If we come to verbal | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
harassment, not just physical, we can say that maybe not a single | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
woman in Egypt's not been verbally harassed at least once in her life. | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
The UN issued a study a couple of years ago saying that maybe 90% of | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Egyptian women have been sexually harassed in the street. When it | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
comes to collective sexual harassment, we can see on occasions | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
where there are huge gatherings, especially down town for example | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
when people were celebrating the election of President Sisi two years | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
ago, there were reports about collective sexual harassments where | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
a lot of girls were almost raped in Tahrir square and the area | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
surrounding it. The problem is, a lot of people here put the blame on | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
the girls sometimes. They say that because the girl is not decently | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
dressed, so it's as if inviting her harasser to abuse her. But this is | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
not necessarily true because some girls who're fully covered up who | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
eeven wear the full face cover, they are sexually harassed as well -- | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
even. A lot of girls do not come up and speak about it because this is a | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
social taboo, a social stigma, they are embarrassed, shy, they don't | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
want to report it, so the problem is that not all the victims believe | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
that they are victims and that the society is going to support them | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
because, from a social perspective, a lot of people sometimes put the | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
blame on the girl. Still to come before 11: How | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
high-calibre graduates in England are being targeting to become | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
children's social workers. And The Revenant, starring | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
Leonardo DiCaprio, is expected to lead the list of Oscar | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
nominations this lunchtime - we'll speak to two previous | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
academy award winners. At least seven people are killed | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
in a gun and bomb attack in the heart of Indonesia's | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
capital, Jakarta. The national police spokesman says | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
those behind the attacks were probably linked | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
to the Islamic State terror group. They believe a number of attackers | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
set of suicide bombs. Police say the attack is now over and the president | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
has insisted that Indonesia will not give into terror. | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
Here in the UK, hundreds more police officers will carry guns, | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
and the number of armed response vehicles will double in response | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
West Africa's Ebola epidemic will be declared officially over today | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
The epidemic began in December 2013 and killed more than 11,000 people. | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
Could films like The Revenant or Carol be in line for an Oscar? | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
Later today we'll find out who's been nominated to win in the 88th | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Let's catch up with Will Perry at the BBC Sport Centre and you've | :17:33. | :17:43. | |
got the latest from the cricket for us. | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
Let's bring you the latest from Johannesburg. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
England against South Africa, of course. | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
The hosts won the toss and decided to bat. | :17:55. | :17:54. | |
We can speak to the former England bowler Matthew Hogard. | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
We had a strange situation where South Africa will without a | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
wicketkeeper, Quinton de Kock apparently slipping over at home, he | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
was ruled out and they have had to fly in Dane Vilas from Port | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Elizabeth who has now arrived, he is on the balcony. It is like the | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
Chuckle Brothers! It is, if it happened in England there would be a | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
lot of who are! Quinton de Kock was going to open the batting, to offer | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
some part time the JP Duminy, said there has been a lot of shuffling | :18:35. | :18:43. | |
and changing of personnel in South Africa. But what can you say about a | :18:44. | :18:44. | |
be of the? He has taken over the rain as a tutor, not only has he won | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
the toss, a tricky one to say whether they should bat or bowl | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
first, they are batting and he is doing well. Is that why South Africa | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
chose to bat, because they did not have a wicketkeeper? There is plenty | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
in that picture for the bowlers. It is difficult to bowl and then run | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
behind the batsman and catch it yourself! You need a keeper, you | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
need all 11 players to play the game. It is a little bit like Lords, | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
the cracks can open up in Johannesburg, it normally quickens | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
up on day two and the indentations made by the ball on day one can | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
prove a bit more effective on day two. It was a tough choice between | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
batting and bowling, but get in the first half-hour and make a, which is | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
what the South Africans are doing. They have weathered the new ball, | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
and they are in the process of setting themselves up to be in a | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
good position after the first session. Advantage South Africa | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
early on but England got that wicked, what did you make of that | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
from Stiaan van Zyl, a hawk which went straight into the hands of | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
Jonny Bairstow behind the stumps? I've seen the Australia opener David | :19:56. | :19:56. | |
Warner get out a couple of times I've seen the Australia opener David | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
like that in their series. Who else but Ben Stokes? What can he do | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
wrong? He scored 150 in the last test match and has come on and a. | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
Ben Stokes doing well -- come on and take our wicket. How much of a | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
feather in the cap will it be for Trevor Bayliss if they can win the | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
series? He will have taken a back-seat and said, it is all about | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
the players, all I have done is encourage them to perform. You will | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
shift it straight back onto the players. But all of the reports | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
coming out of the changing room are very successful, a very happy coach. | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Thank you, Matthew Hoggard, former England bowler joining us here on | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Victoria Derbyshire. We will keep you up-to-date with the result of | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
that one on the News Channel throughout the day. England 1-0 in | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
the series with one match to play. Lovely, thank you, see you later. | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
The world athletics governing body, the IAAF, is braced for further | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
The World Anti-Doping Agency is revealing another report | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
into the doping and corruption scandal - and it's not expected | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
Its first report, in November, led to Russia being suspended | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Today's report is expected to look more closely at the conduct | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
There've been no allegations against Lord Coe, the IAAF | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
President, but questions are sure to be asked over whether he's | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
the person to clean up the sport's image. | :21:24. | :21:38. | |
Let's speak now to Joolz Adineran, an international 110m hurdler who's | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Good luck on that, you find out in July. But what do you think of what | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
is emerging today? It is shocking, the revelations are painful. I, like | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
many schoolchildren around the country, grew up with a love of | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
competition and the belief that if I worked hard enough I would have a | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
chance of winning, so it is concerning for young and | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
up-and-coming athletes. There have been delegations about doping dating | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
back so many years, did you would have an element of cynicism | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
potentially about some of your competitors, without specifically | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
pointing fingers? But because the previous allegations is it something | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
that is always in the background? Athletes like myself sacrificed so | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
much, we train six days a week, 48 weeks of the year, for a decade or | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
longer. Everything you do is channelling performance, from the | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
time you go to bed until the time you get breakfast, it is on the | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
premise that when you step outside you will be on a level playing | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
field, and so to think that your sporting achievement, opportunities, | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
livelihood could be stolen from you by a three to choose to cheat, it is | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
a sickening revelation, a sickening thought. -- by athletes. What we are | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
expecting today is a focus on the people in the sport who are meant to | :22:58. | :22:58. | |
be overseeing everything and making sure allegations are followed up. | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
How does it make you feel that there are questions being asked about that | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
particular aspect of things? It is a major concern. I think sport and | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
society has a collective responsibility to reduce that number | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
eventually to zero of the three athletes who are tempted to cheat | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
for financial gain. It is important that there are harsh penalties and | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
they make sure they use strong deterrent and better education, not | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
just in this country but across the world, to protect young | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
up-and-coming athletes, clean athletes like myself. The experts at | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
what are best placed to make athletes like myself. The experts at | :23:37. | :23:36. | |
recommendations but I certainly believe that all testing should be | :23:37. | :23:48. | |
carried out by an independent body not at all associated with any | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
sporting governing body like the IAAF because political and | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
commercial interests should not be allowed to implement anti-doping | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
efforts. From what you don't so far, do you feel athletes have been let | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
down by the governing bodies? For athletes like my fab lab been | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
affected directly, like many British athletes have, it is a painful | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
revelation -- athletes like myself. We see this as an opportunity for | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
action to be taken, for better protection to be provided for | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
up-and-coming athletes. We have got so much talent in this country. And | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
for the doping reform agenda to be prioritised in the media. It is | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
important to stay in the present and focus on solutions and this coming | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
to the set this is a positive in that way, let's focus on those | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
positives. Do you have trust going forward? I have concerns, I'm | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
concerned for young people and the real Olympics who may | :24:33. | :24:48. | |
be dissuaded from supporting athlete in my sport. Thank you very much, | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
and good look with reopen the 16. Social work - it's a profession | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
that's renowned for heavy workloads and difficult cases, | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
but it has been under immense scrutiny in recent years with plenty | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
of Government-backed reviews into where the profession | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
is going wrong. Child protection failures have | :25:04. | :25:04. | |
led experts to question whether the right people | :25:05. | :25:06. | |
are doing the job and how We're talking about a series | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
of high profile failures, like the death of eight-year-old | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
Victoria Climbie. In 2000, she starved to death | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
after prolonged abuse at the hands Social workers, police and the NHS | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
all failed to raise the alarm. Baby P - Peter Connelly - | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
died in his home after suffering 50 A series of damning inquiries | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
revealed 60 missed opportunities And chances were missed to help | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
four-year-old Daniel Pelka - he was starved and beaten for months | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
by his mother and her partner before Each case an example | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
of shocking child cruelty. Today, a programme that recruits | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
and develops children's social workers, called Frontline, | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
will be rolled out nationally. That means 1000 new professionals | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
will be available to support some of the most disadvantaged children | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
and families in Britain by 2020. So what does it take | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
to be a social worker? Let's talk now to two of them | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
at different ends of their careers. Raphael Caedenhead, | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
a newly-qualified social worker, and Karen Goodman, a social | :26:16. | :26:17. | |
worker for over 30 years and Professional Officer | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
at the British Association of Social Thank you both for coming in. We | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
were running through some of the headlines there that have fairly or | :26:29. | :26:38. | |
unfairly given social workers a bad name. How do you see it? We have a | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
number of routes the training into social work, it is a wonderful | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
profession but we need to be positive about the work and have a | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
level playing field for training and to be supporting social workers | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
throughout their careers. We need to the social workers retained in their | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
jobs so there is not the high turnover, the experience and | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
majority that we need in the profession is there, maintained and | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
supported. They are very much on the front line, you are very much on the | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
front line in terms of when it comes to the care of children, other | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
agencies are obviously involved, but it is the social workers that have | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
often borne the brunt of criticism. Tell other bit more about the | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
pressures that you have encountered in your 30-year career. Social | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
workers are the lead agency in child protection work but we work with | :27:31. | :27:31. | |
other professionals. The work is challenging and difficult, but to | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
say that the social work training is at the core of the problem is not | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
the case. We have to look at the broader context of the work. | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
Constant criticisms don't how to retain staff. We need a mature, well | :27:43. | :27:51. | |
supported staff where social workers are encouraged to stay and there is | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
not constant criticism, the target culture, the impact of poverty, the | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
reduction of services working together with other agencies, those | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
are sorts of things we have to be addressing at the same time. Why | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
have you gone into it? A very good question. Listening to what you were | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
saying, there is a negative cultural set of presumptions about social | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
work. For me, put simply, I have a passion and desire to work with | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
abominable children and their families, complex and difficult | :28:22. | :28:28. | |
situations -- former rebel children. To give you history about my own | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
context, I did a Ph.D. The three years, I spent a year doing | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
volunteer work and in that period I was volunteering as a Samaritan. It | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
was really by chance that I came to realise about Front line, I'm in the | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
first cohort so there had been nothing similar before that. The | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
attraction of it was the emphasis on direct work with families and | :28:51. | :28:57. | |
therapeutic practice. I applied, I was placed in Harrow, and extremely | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
supportive local authority. I think what the work does is it enables you | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
to see some of the transformative work you can do with families. I | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
think some of the media assumptions can seem negative. It is much harder | :29:12. | :29:17. | |
to see the positive that we are doing. I think front line has | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
provided me with an opportunity to learn and equip myself with some of | :29:23. | :29:28. | |
those therapeutic practices... What are those practices? We work | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
collaboratively with the Institute of family therapy and have experts | :29:35. | :29:40. | |
in motivational interviewing, a way of having conversations with people | :29:41. | :29:46. | |
that elicits change. That is interesting, speaking to other newly | :29:47. | :29:49. | |
qualified social workers, they often say that with their courses there is | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
not so much of an emphasis on practice, whereas from the get go | :29:54. | :30:01. | |
with us we really were role-playing, discussing therapeutic techniques. | :30:02. | :30:04. | |
Is this a change in the way social work is being done? Is this | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
different from how you started out? Some of it is the same, some of it | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
is different. It is important to look at the context of this work. It | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
is very good that Raphael has had this opportunity. We have to make | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
sure that these opportunities are therefore for all such workers who | :30:24. | :30:24. | |
are training. We are training many social workers at the moment, they | :30:25. | :30:32. | |
are coming through, but are the jobs available? Some of them report back | :30:33. | :30:34. | |
that they cannot find work after the training because local authorities | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
are looking for those who have good experience. What we need to make | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
sure is that we are retaining those social workers. How difficult is the | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
work, when it comes down to very difficult judgment calls on whether | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
to take a child out of their family environment or whatever the decision | :30:49. | :30:56. | |
is that is being taken, when cases are under the spotlight in the | :30:57. | :30:59. | |
media, it is easy for people to read the headlines of the story, point | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
the finger and say, it is pretty clear cut, this should have | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
happened, but at the time how difficult is it? Social work has | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
never been easy. All of us have these difficult decisions to make, | :31:11. | :31:14. | |
gathering the information together with other colleagues, not just | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
social workers but police, health colleagues, education colleagues. | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
When you put that before the courts, it is the courts that make the | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
ultimate decisions on the assessment that the expert evidence, but the | :31:26. | :31:34. | |
blame culture as an outcome, the naming and shaming of individual | :31:35. | :31:36. | |
social workers by judges and the media cover, it does not help the | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
situation. Caseload at the moment are extraordinarily high, you have | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
social workers very much in the media today working very long hours, | :31:45. | :31:48. | |
some of the issues need to be addressed as well as a training. As | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
I said, it is about seeing what happens for the professionals after | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
they have been trained. Two to three years into the work is considered at | :31:57. | :32:02. | |
the moment quite experienced. My experience is unique to be in the | :32:03. | :32:04. | |
profession for many, many years before you are considered | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
experienced. We need to look at how we retain staff so they become | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
mature experienced and resilient. How difficult do you anticipate it | :32:10. | :32:18. | |
to be when it comes to the judgment cause, does it worry you? All social | :32:19. | :32:24. | |
workers should feel a sense of responsibility and even slight | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
anxiety when making those very big decisions. I think something I've | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
noticed since I'm just kind of starting out really, it's really | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
easy for blinkered thinking to embed itself in local authorities. Explain | :32:37. | :32:42. | |
a bit more about that? Yes. So with some models of social work practice, | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
you've just got you, the practitioner, the social worker, and | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
you're talking things thug with a more senior colleague and with just | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
the two of you, sometimes it's very easy to kind of, there might be | :32:53. | :32:58. | |
blind spots or thingious don't quite see in the full picture, and you try | :32:59. | :33:07. | |
to do things as a group, so there are less chances that the blind | :33:08. | :33:12. | |
spots won't seen, so that's very helpful in terms of making those | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
decisions. Thauch thank you both very much. | :33:16. | :33:22. | |
Some breaking news on those attacks in the Indonesian capital Jakarta. | :33:23. | :33:23. | |
Seven people killed, including five of the attackers. Police say it's | :33:24. | :33:29. | |
under control. We are hearing the so-called Islamic state-media linked | :33:30. | :33:33. | |
group has revealed IS fighters were behind the attacks in Indonesia this | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
morning. It quoted an unspecified source saying the attack targeted | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
foreign nationals. There is been no official IS statement on the | :33:45. | :33:51. | |
foreign nationals. There is been no ject yet but the group who claims | :33:52. | :33:58. | |
it's IS, they have a reliable track record. | :33:59. | :34:04. | |
The Oscar season is upon us. Eddie Redmayne will be hoping to build on | :34:05. | :34:06. | |
his success after losing out on a Golden Globe in the leading actor | :34:07. | :34:13. | |
category to Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio on Sunday. Kate Winslet is | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
a hopeful for her role in Steve Jobs. Let's take a look at some of | :34:19. | :34:27. | |
the main runners for the awards. Is that you? What do you know? ! I'm | :34:28. | :34:31. | |
saying to myself, I know that girl. Great to see you, it's been months. | :34:32. | :34:52. | |
Ted Grey is meeting us and we are going to Phil's party. You are | :34:53. | :34:53. | |
going, aren't you? I planned to get there a little... You two go ahead. | :34:54. | :34:59. | |
Cow coming along? No, I have to make a few calls before dinner anyway. I | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
really should run. Are you sure? Of course. | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
Came up at the last minute. Officers in London. Clients. Scott Lindus, | :35:09. | :35:20. | |
fishing expedition. What kind of fishing trip, Jim? Salmon. Tell me | :35:21. | :35:27. | |
it's a routine business trip and I won't worry. I need my passport. | :35:28. | :35:34. | |
Give me something to hold on to, I don't even care if it's not the | :35:35. | :35:36. | |
truth. I'm doing this for us. What is the matter with you girls | :35:37. | :35:49. | |
now? Nothing is the matter with us, Mrs Keogh. Is this bawl she's found | :35:50. | :35:56. | |
herself a young man? She won't say anything about it. And why should | :35:57. | :36:02. | |
she, to you gossip amongsters. Anyway I met him on Saturday when he | :36:03. | :36:10. | |
called for her and he's very nice. Is he nice looking? Didn't like his | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
shoes much. What on earth is wrong with his shoes? Funny colour. A | :36:16. | :36:24. | |
sermon on giddiness is required, a giddy girl is every bit as evil as a | :36:25. | :36:30. | |
slothful man and the noise she makes is a lot worse. Enough! Here with us | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
now to talk about the nominations, two people who themselves are part | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
of the elite group of Oscar winners. We can talk to Paul Franklin who's | :36:38. | :36:48. | |
won two for visual effects for Inception and Interstellar nominated | :36:49. | :36:55. | |
for dark Knight and James Lucas for best live action short film in 2015, | :36:56. | :36:57. | |
James was co-writer and producer of the film. Thank you both for coming | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
in. I wanted to be able to say I held one, I tried to lift it and was | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
shocked, they're really heavy. Weighs about ten pounds, yes, so | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
it's quite a hefty chunk of metal. So when you get given that, were you | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
surprised at the weight? Absolutely. Yes. But you are so excited, there | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
is so much adrenaline that you could pretty much lift up anything. Before | :37:22. | :37:24. | |
you get that though, the nominations happen. Paul, when you were first | :37:25. | :37:31. | |
nominated, how did you hear about it and what did you think? I think I | :37:32. | :37:33. | |
heard about it from a text message from a friend because back in 2009, | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
you didn't have quite the same feeds on the Internet like today. There | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
wasn't an official notification that you'd been nominated, you get a | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
letter in the post later on so I was trying to find the news and somebody | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
on the stairs said, you've been nominated. How strange to find out | :37:51. | :37:55. | |
that way. Exactly. How did you feel? Elated. Fantastic. Being nominate | :37:56. | :38:02. | |
suicide a recognition that you have achieved a certain standard within | :38:03. | :38:04. | |
what you are doing and it's a great vindication of everything you have | :38:05. | :38:07. | |
done on the film. How did you feel, James, and how did | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
you find out, because there is this glitzy ceremony to announce the | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
nominees? Yes, exactly. I was with my wife and the director and | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
co-writer and there was a phone call. We all congregated to Soho | :38:21. | :38:27. | |
House when it was announced live from LA and yes, they went through | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
the category, the nominees and because it was in alphabetical order | :38:35. | :38:41. | |
ours came last. As they called them out, I was thinking, oh, no, and it | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
felt like it wouldn't happen and after that, there was the phone | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
call. We went absolutely mental. Incredible. Euphoric. Absolutely | :38:47. | :38:51. | |
wonderful. Did it feel like the culmination of some very hard years | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
of hard work? Absolutely. I grew up in small town New Zealand and had | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
always been relatively obsessed by film and that was always the goal, | :39:01. | :39:08. | |
so some years down the line, to become nominated for an Oscar and | :39:09. | :39:14. | |
then to go to the Hallow ground of the Dolby Theatre is wonderful. My | :39:15. | :39:19. | |
dreams come true. Your little independent short movie's obviously | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
had huge critical, as well as popular acclaim, but when you were | :39:24. | :39:26. | |
making it, was the thought of something like this ever on the | :39:27. | :39:34. | |
radar? No, not at all. When we were freezing in a disused office in | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
Enfield where we shot the film, that was the furthest thing away from my | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
mind. The idea was just to make the best film we could possibly make. | :39:42. | :39:46. | |
When is it the word Oscar first starts to pass people's lips in your | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
movie? Somewhere down the line the film started gaining momentum and | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
started to get a buzz about it and we screened the film, got into a | :39:58. | :40:04. | |
little known film festival and we won our category there. That | :40:05. | :40:10. | |
qualified us to begin to to the Oscars. Paul, you've got a sleighly | :40:11. | :40:16. | |
different story in that your recognition is for big budget | :40:17. | :40:22. | |
movies? Yes. I design visual effects for Hollywood blockbusters. So when | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
you are working on those, is there a level of expectation around the time | :40:28. | :40:30. | |
that they'll go on to get this sort of recognition? Not really. I think | :40:31. | :40:36. | |
probably the best way to guarantee that you are not going to win an | :40:37. | :40:37. | |
Oscar is to set out to win one in the first place. I've seen a lot of | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
people try to do that in all aspects of film-making and when we were | :40:42. | :40:46. | |
walking on Interstellar, it's clear the film is going to be spectacular | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
and make a splash in the market place, but film-makers are | :40:52. | :40:53. | |
superstitious and if you start talking about Oscars, you are going | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
to jinx it. It's not going to happen. Famous last words, yes. So | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
what difference has it made for each of you? It allows you to go into | :41:02. | :41:10. | |
meetings with people that wouldn't have given you access before because | :41:11. | :41:12. | |
it's a sort of a recognition that you have achieved a certain status | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
within film-making and that you are capable and professional and you | :41:17. | :41:19. | |
know what you are doing. Then also they... So do you drop it into every | :41:20. | :41:25. | |
conversation or have it at the bottom of every e-mail or text | :41:26. | :41:34. | |
people "by the way... "? No, hopefully the people you are talking | :41:35. | :41:35. | |
to already know that you've got the Oscar and it basically means you | :41:36. | :41:38. | |
don't have to go and prove that you know what you are doing certainly | :41:39. | :41:45. | |
from my area of film making which is technical and it definitely helps | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
but can also work against you sometimes because people assume, | :41:50. | :41:52. | |
he's got the Oscar now, he's going to be so expensive and out of our | :41:53. | :41:59. | |
realm. There is a curse attached sometimes, you have to be careful. | :42:00. | :42:00. | |
What about you, James? It's opened up doors that were firmly closed | :42:01. | :42:08. | |
before I won the Oscar. It legitimizes me as a serious | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
film-maker and... A brilliant start to your film-making career? It | :42:13. | :42:18. | |
really is. To use a boxing analogy, I suppose it's I've gone from being | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
amateur to professional and maybe moved up a few divisions as well | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
alongside it. It's been fantastic and things are really moving now. As | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
winners, do you get to go to the ceremonies from now on? No. No, you | :42:32. | :42:40. | |
winners, do you get to go to the don't. We are both members of the | :42:41. | :42:42. | |
Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts Sciences and you are not guaranteed | :42:43. | :42:49. | |
a place but you get to go sometimes. We get to vote so we are part of the | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
process of judging the films. Where do you both keep them? Not in the | :42:54. | :43:00. | |
downstairs loo? ! We recently moved to a new house and have a place we | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
can display the Oscars in. Before that, they mainly lived in a | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
cardboard box in the attic because there was not anywhere secure I | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
would leave them where I could be sure people wouldn't be fiddling | :43:16. | :43:17. | |
with them. And yours? Mantlepiece, bedroom, sometimes I like to wake up | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
and see it looking down upon me and I like to have him there when I'm | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
writing as well. It keeps my mind on the job, keeps me focussed. Keeps | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
you inspired. Thank you both for bringing those in. The nominations | :43:30. | :43:32. | |
will be revealed in a special programme on the BBC News Channel | :43:33. | :43:35. | |
with Jane Hill and the film critic Jason Solomons at 1. 30. Thank you | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
very much for your company and for all your messages, we are back same | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
time tomorrow, I'll see you from 9. 15 on BBC Two, the BBC News Channel | :43:45. | :43:47. | |
and online. Have a lovely afternoon, thank you for all your comments | :43:48. | :43:49. | |
today. See you tomorrow. Bye. So, no-one pays tax here? | :43:50. | :44:06. | |
No-one pays taxes. | :44:07. | :44:10. |
