It's Monday, it's 9.15, I'm Victoria Derbyshire. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Tennis players are being accused of deliberately throwing | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
It's emerged that over the last decade concerns have been raised | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
about 16 players who have ranked in the top 50. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
In Paris they offered me double money to lose in straight sets. | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
We'll ask a player how you fix a match. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
He might say things you don't agree with but should US presidential | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
hopeful Donald Trump be banned from coming to Britain? | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
I don't think we should be banning Donald Trump. We should look at | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
educational ways of dealing with his bigotry. I do think so because we | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
don't need any negativity in this country. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
And the NHS says it will introduce its own sugar tax in hospitals | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Should they be charging extra on sugary drinks | :01:08. | :01:10. | |

This morning, allegations of match fixing within tennis. | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
Over the last decade 16 players who have ranked in the top 50 have | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
been repeatedly flagged to a body called the Tennis Integrity Unit | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
over suspicions they've thrown matches, including at Wimbledon. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
But that body, set up by the world tennis authorities to combat match | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
fixing, is accused of doing very little. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
"They sat on it and from up on high, they don't want it out there," | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
is what one betting industry source told the BBC. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
So all of the players, including winners of Grand Slam | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
titles, were allowed to continue competing. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
This morning the Tennis Integrity Unit said it absolutely rejected any | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
suggestion that evidence of match fixing has been suppressed for any | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
reason, saying, "No player or official is immune | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
from investigation, regardless of their status or position | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Investigations follow where evidence leads." | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
It's all come about from a joint investigation by the BBC | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Where you ever approached to throw a match? Yes, I got one offer in | :02:43. | :02:58. | |
Moscow, one in Chennai and one in Paris. In Chennai they | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Moscow, one in Chennai and one in 50000 and in Paris double money. | :03:03. | :03:19. | |
There was an element of keeping things under wraps. We gave them the | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
review. It was hard hitting. It said tennis virtually was at a crossroads | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
and if they were really serious about dealing with this, then they | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
really need to create an integrity unit with teeth. To be fair, nobody | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
likes hanging out their dirty washing in public. Nobody likes | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
admitting that they have problems within their sport. From I | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
experience of working on dozens of cases for British horse racing, is | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
evidence was very strong, really as anything we had had. The review gave | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
two options to the tennis authorities. | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
One option was to include a betting analyst, which I felt was absolutely | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
essential if the unit was going to be successful. The other option did | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
not include the betting analyst and they chose the option that did not | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
include the betting analyst. Both recommended at least half a dozen | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
with a director in charge. I believe that there were very few in the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
initial Tennis Integrity Unit. In fact, I believe, it was only a | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
couple of people. How can you cover a global sport like tennis with two | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
people? Well, you can't. We believed it was a perfect opportunity for | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
tennis to have an investigation, charge players, get to the | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
disciplinary system and create a strong deterrent for people looking | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
to throw the sport in the future. It did not appear that they took up | :04:58. | :05:09. | |
that opportunity, certainly not from the evidence that we gathered and | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
presented to them. That was a Buzzfeed film. | :05:12. | :05:12. | |
Richard Ings established the first system for tackling | :05:13. | :05:13. | |
He told me how easy it could be to fix a tennis match. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
If you were going to invent the sport that would be perfect for | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
match fixing, it would be called tennis. It is an individual sport. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
It only takes one player unbeknownst to their opponents to miss key shot, | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
double fault on a point, and the match is over and the fix is in. | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
Would people watching no? No, they would not. You have to remember | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
there are literally thousands of tennis matches being played every | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
week at tournaments at all levels globally during the year. And most | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
of those matches are 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. There is a fine line in tennis | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
between winning and losing and it is easy for an unscrupulous player to | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
fix the result. What would be the general profile of a player who | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
wanted to throw a match? Luck, it is impossible to say. There are | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
individuals, whether it is doping in sport, corruption in sport, who | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
break rules. That is why sporting organisations like the ATP and WTA | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
need comprehensive systems in place to deter and hopefully detect those | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
that break the rules. There is potentially a life ban for somebody | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
caught fixing a tennis match. But the suggestion today is that the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Tennis Integrity Unit is allowing players who are suspected of match | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
fixing to continue in their career. We need to be a bit cautious. I was | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
involved in the anti-corruption system with men's professional | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
tennis in 2005. It was an incredibly conferencing system that was built. | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
In 2008 it was expanded into the Tennis Integrity Unit incorporating | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
the ATP and WTA and the ITF, so all facets of tennis, and it is well | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
funded and well staffed, but proving these cases is incredibly difficult. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Of the 16 players flagged in these secret documents, 16 in the last ten | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
years that have been in the top 50 or so, they have all continued to | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
compete, so the case could not be proved against any of them? When you | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
are looking at investigating possible match fixing in tennis, you | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
get information in from bookmakers about suspicious betting patterns. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
If you are lucky, you get telephone records, financial records, other | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
records. But you still need to be able to prove, as a sport, to the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
comfortable satisfaction of a tribunal, that the player really was | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
involved in match fixing. Because the penalties are so significant, up | :07:53. | :08:04. | |
to a lifetime ban, a significant level of proof is required to find a | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
player guilty. OK. And that is just really hard? It is not impossible. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
The Tennis Integrity Unit has sanctioned in excess of 20 players | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
over the last few years for violations of anti-corruption rules | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
in tennis. There is no doubt that match fixing in tennis is easy and | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
it does exist. It would be good if the Tennis Integrity Unit was much | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
more transparent into exactly what they are doing and how, then we | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
could have as much confidence as we can have in what they are trying to | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
achieve. The motivation for a player to throw a match is money, greed? It | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
can be a combination of different things. Certainly there is a | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
financial aspect to it. There is an aspect of taking advantage of an | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
opportunity where there is opportunity and motive and then you | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
will have people breaking rules. Another aspect of potential match | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
fixing involves players that may be subject to blackmail. They may be | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
linked to individuals who are blackmailing them to do things that | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
they may not otherwise do. There can be a variety of explanations for why | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
it does happen. That was Richard Ings. The culture secretary John | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Whittingdale says the integrity of the game has been put into question | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
by the allegations. Well, it is a matter of great | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
concern that yet another sport is now facing these allegations | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
of criminal behaviour hot on the heels of both | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
athletics and football. It does bring into question | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
the whole integrity of the game which the fans rely upon, | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
so the important thing is it should be investigated fully | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
and transparently as quickly If fans cannot have confidence | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
in the fairness of the game, then it undermines the support | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
which they naturally want to give and it is also unfair | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
on all the other players who are superb athletes | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
competing fairly. So it is very important that these | :09:46. | :09:46. | |
kinds of allegations be The important thing is that the game | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
is seen to be completely fair and clean and that is a challenge | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
for the International Tennis Federation and that obviously | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
affects not just Wimbledon but every Sport is going through a dreadful | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
period at the moment with allegations of corruption | :10:01. | :10:12. | |
and criminality affecting a whole That is why I think | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
the Prime Minister is right to hold an anti-corruption summit later this | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
year which will look at sport Heidi Blake is the investigations | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
editor at Buzzfeed. Scott Ferguson is a former Betfair | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
and tennis trader and now wagering industry consultant | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
for sport including tennis. Tell us more about the documents and | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
what they suggest. The documents we have seen come from inside world | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
tennis. They show that the Tennis Integrity Unit, based at Wimbledon, | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
is tasked with taking a zero tolerance approach to match fixing | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
and they have been warned again and again over the last decade about a | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
core group of 16 players, half of whom are about to begin competing at | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
the Australian open right now. They were first warned about a network of | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
players who are implicated in highly suspicious | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
matches in 2008 by their own team of investigators, who handed over a | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
compelling dossier of evidence, including one player who exchanged | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
text messages with a Sicilian fixer who made hundreds of thousands of | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
pounds betting on his matches and the authorities did nothing to | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
investigate it. How do you react to that, especially when they say they | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
take a zero tolerance approach? We find it perplexing. They said they | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
looked at the evidence that they had introduced a new integrity code | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
after the 2008 investigation and had decided not to apply it | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
retrospectively but to new cases going forward. They closed all the | :11:36. | :11:48. | |
old cases. But the old integrity code had also banned match fixing. | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
Every version of any sports coat will ban rigging the game, of | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
course, that is against the rules. It seemed like a very strange | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
answer. There are widespread allegations among everybody we have | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
spoken to. Sports integrity experts, foreign police forces, everybody is | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
saying tennis is not doing enough to crack down on the problem. What is | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
the general profile, if there is such a thing, of a player who is | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
vulnerable to being approached to throw a game? It is very difficult | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
to answer that. It could be players at the end of their careers who have | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
realised they will not go any further. They have put their life | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
into this and have no other life skills. Body shop, this is my | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
situation, I have nothing else left. Players that might come from the | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
wrong side of the tracks, and they might know people in these circles. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
The tour is a lonely place and you might meet people in bars and hotels | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
and strike up a conversation. It can go too far. It is very hard to get a | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
blueprint. You don't even need to meet people because every player has | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
Facebook and Twitter. What would you say the profile is? You know the 16 | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
with questions hanging over them. At the BBC, you and they are not naming | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
them, so what is the profile of a vulnerable player? This core group | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
of 16 players ranked in the top 50, many still in the top 50, that is | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
surprising. Generally when we have spoken about match fixing in tennis | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
in the past people have thought it is low ranking players. Certainly | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
the players that have been disciplined are at the bottom level | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
but this goes much higher than that, it suggests. The fixes get to these | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
players when they are young. It is extremely expensive to be | :13:28. | :13:28. | |
players when they are young. It is player. It can cost ?160,000 a year | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
to stay on tour and pay your coaching staff and hotel bills and | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
flying around the world and all that. Some of the lower level | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
tournaments, the prize money might be 10,000 to win the match but to | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
fix it you could make 100,000. When it costs 160,000 a year to be on | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
tour, that is tempting. Richard Ings was telling us that if you were | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
watching the game you might not necessarily be alerted to the fact | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
something dodgy was going on, but if you look at the odds on players as | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
the game goes on or the amount of money being put on a player as a | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
game goes on, those are the things that can alert you. That would raise | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
alarm bells. What would you look at? Bookmakers and professional trades | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
people have models. 10s of thousands of matches go through, based on | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
players, their predicted server holds, prize-money, that sort of | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
thing. If we go back to the infamous Debbie Denko match in 2007, he was | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
set and a break up and get the money was coming the wrong way. This does | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
not commute. The money was going to the player that was losing at that | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
point? Yes, huge amounts. And it turned out that it was linked | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
accounts etc. These things should not normally happen and they happen. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
For those that love tennis, what do we do? Do we lose trust in it? | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
Another sport that we have lost trust in? | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
It is very hard to spot. A double faults just being out. It only takes | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
a professional player to slightly change their lines. You're not going | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
to notice, unless you have forensic evidence and modelling data and | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
things like that. It is disappointing they do not have more | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
resources to do investigations themselves. That match you | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
mentioned, both players cleared of violations. Someone has said | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
football and athletics were in denial, now it is tennis. Someone | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
else says this sums up all sport. It has become a moral and criminal | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
gangs can manipulate. Why such the large prizes? Someone else's tennis | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
and athletics and football corrupt. People hacked off it would seem. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Thank you for coming on the programme. You can hear more on that | :16:06. | :16:18. | |
story on Radio 4. Get in touch and the usual ways, still to come, | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
claims that dementia patients admitted to hospitals in England | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
play roll it with their health. Should this man be banned from the | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
UK? We will be discussing this with our audience before MPs discuss it | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
today. First, it's time to see what making | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
the main news this morning. The BBC and Buzzfeed news has seen | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
evidence of suspected match fixing at the top level of world tennis, | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
including games at Wimbledon. The culture secretary, | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
John Whittingdale has urged for a full investigation | :16:51. | :16:51. | |
to be carried out. David Cameron says thousands | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
of Muslim women who can't speak The ?20 million-scheme is part | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
of a drive to create a more cohesive In many cases it is no fault of | :16:58. | :17:15. | |
their own, it is because there might have been put into a situation where | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
they have not been encouraged to integrate, not learn the language. | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
That is not acceptable in this country and these proposals will | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
make sure its changes. MPs are to debate a petition later | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
calling for a ban on the US Presidential hopeful Donald Trump | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
from entering the UK. More than half a million people | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
signed a petition after the business tycoon called for all Muslims to be | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
barred from entering the US. Tata Steel is expected to announce | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
more cuts to its UK workforce It's expected to say more | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
than 1,000 jobs will go. 750 of them in Port | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
Talbot in south Wales. The Alzheimer's Society says there's | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
evidence that people with dementia in England are having to put up | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
with really poor hospital care. The charity says patients are more | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
likely to have falls in some hospitals, and too many | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
are being discharged at night. A report by the charity Oxfam says | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
the richest 1% of the world's population now owns more | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
than the combined wealth of everyone We will talk more about that later | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
when we talk to Oxfam just after 10am. | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
Let's catch up with all the sport now. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
We will be talking more about the news that you have talked about this | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
morning that the BBC reporting that there has been suspected match | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
fixing across the top end of tennis. 16 players over the last ten years | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
have been repeatedly reported to have been suspected to be match | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
fixing but allowed to continue playing. That going against the | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
thinking that there is a zero tolerance to match fixing in tennis | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
and we will talk about that more. Controversy over the first day of | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
the Australian Open. Never an ideal start. A lot of excitement usually. | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
Especially with the first Grand Slam of the year. Not a great start for | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
British players because the British number three has been knocked out in | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
the first round suffering with cramp in his first-round match. He goes | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
out in five sets. Heather Watson has won are opening set in her match. | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
Mixed news as far as the play on the court is concerned. If we have time | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
we will talk about Rodney Sullivan who has scored a record equalling | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
sixth Masters victory at Alexandra Palace after beating Barry Hawkins | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
10-1. An incredible win for a man who has said he has not been playing | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
very well in the game. He said he has been embarrassed by his snooker | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
at times. We will bring you more of that at 10am. | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
MPs will debate today whether the man who could be | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
the next US President should be banned from entering the UK. | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
More than half a million people have signed a petition calling | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
for the American tycoon turned politician Donald Trump to be banned | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
after he called for all Muslims to be temporarily stopped | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
My father gave me a small loan of $1 million, I came into Manhattan | :20:23. | :20:54. | |
and I had to pay him back with interest. | :20:55. | :21:39. | |
I gave up the word incompetent because it is really | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
They bring in drugs, they bring in crime, | :21:42. | :22:00. | |
She starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
and you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
of Muslims entering the United States until our | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
We have places in London and other places that are so radicalised | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
that the police are afraid for their own lives. | :22:41. | :22:59. | |
We want Trump, we want Trump, we want Trump. | :23:00. | :23:15. | |
Here's an extract from a Newsnight film on Donald Trump | :23:16. | :23:24. | |
# And the needs of freedom...# It is easy to laugh at the schmaltz | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
# Donald Trump knows how to make America great... | :23:35. | :23:48. | |
This, believe it or not, was organised by people who support | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
Donald Trump, not by his enemies to make him look ridiculous. | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
But perhaps the Americans can laugh at the absurdity of our system | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
As an example some might cite the fact that on Monday for three | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
hours in a side room off the Commons MPs will discuss banning | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
Let's talk to two British Muslims about this now. | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
Haseeb Ahmed is a campaigner and commentator who doesn't think | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
Tamanna Miah is a student at Canterbury University | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Why do you think Trump should be banned? | :24:19. | :24:27. | |
We do not need that kind of negativity in this country. There is | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
so much Islamophobia going on. 80% increase in London. I have been a | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
victim of Islamophobia and racism. These are racist comments. People | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
say he should visit mosques and things. There are mosques in | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
America. There are good Muslims doing good things all across the | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
world. He does not have to come to this country to experience the | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
goodness. Why do you disagree? I agree with a lot of the points. We | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
have to dissect everything bit by bit. What he is saying is immoral, | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
wrong, bigotry, Islamophobe X. You would still have him in Britain. I | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
would. It is better to educate. It is more proactive to educate than to | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
ban him. He says he wants to ban Muslims from coming into the | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
country. A couple of weeks ago there was a female Muslim without saying | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
anything she was is courted out of one of his rallies. If we ban him we | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
are no better off than what he is trying to portray. Education is | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
important but if somebody is so entrenched in their views it is | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
difficult to change their views overnight. Are you not the same as | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
him wanting to buy new? We have a duty to like after people in the | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
country and influences like that will have a big impact in this | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
country. It is bad enough we have daily attacks, daily abuse, | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
Islamophobia, people listening to his views, and the more people who | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
engage with him, it is not going to be good. Do you take the point that | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
if you get someone to come here and say those things there is a direct | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
correlation between those kind of vile comments and physical attacks | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
on people like you? I think there is a direct correlation. Having said | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
that over the last year or so I have had many right wing people from the | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
UK who have been supporters of people like Katie Hopkins in the | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
past where due to dialogue and me speaking to them about my religion | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
in a positive way they have changed our minds and become less extreme in | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
their opinion. Would you not like to get the chance to top to Donald | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
Trump to change his mind? I am always open for discussion. I am | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
worried. Recently people have been stopped going to | :27:01. | :27:19. | |
worried. Recently people have been because of extra precautions, they | :27:20. | :27:19. | |
worried. Recently people have been are being stopped. Influences like | :27:20. | :27:19. | |
this have are being stopped. Influences like | :27:20. | :27:31. | |
educate him further and if he was to change his mind can you imagine the | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
educate him further and if he was to could change his mind, even if he | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
educate him further and if he was to think he could change his mind | :27:47. | :27:55. | |
educate him further and if he was to try. Do you think MPs should be | :27:56. | :27:55. | |
debating this? There is try. Do you think MPs should be | :27:56. | :28:02. | |
Ministers have already said they are not going to ban | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
Ministers have already said they are people's bidding? We live in a | :28:10. | :28:17. | |
democracy people's bidding? We live in a | :28:18. | :28:28. | |
100,000 signatures we should be able to | :28:29. | :28:28. | |
100,000 signatures we should be able democracy we should be | :28:29. | :29:22. | |
100,000 signatures we should be able people better in this | :29:23. | :29:22. | |

deported? They might link about potentially people being | :30:00. | :30:13. | |
saying that. There will be a new test. If people | :30:14. | :30:31. | |

from coming to Britain for fighting. He has whipped up... Are | :34:00. | :33:59. | |
with a same roulette with their health, | :34:00. | :34:27. | |
a charity is warning. made to hospital trusts in England | :34:28. | :34:27. | |
found shocking evidence of poor It's thought patients with dementia | :34:28. | :34:27. | |
occupy about one in as other patients, and in some | :34:28. | :34:27. | |
hospitals up to seven times longer than other patients aged over 65. | :34:28. | :36:09. | |
getting it wrong. Dementia is not being diagnosed. They are having | :36:10. | :36:17. | |
falls. They need better treatment over. Some hospitals are making the | :36:18. | :36:25. | |
difference. We need everyone to join our campaign and make sure everyone | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
gets the help they need. Hospitals should be placed getting better. We | :36:31. | :36:37. | |
are seeing people getting worse. Tell us about the experiences you | :36:38. | :36:46. | |
have come across. My father after whom the campaign is named was an | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
example of what Jeremy is talking about because he went into hospital | :36:50. | :36:57. | |
with leg ulcers. He had dementia. He never should have gone into | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
hospital. He was there for over four weeks. We were not allowed to visit | :37:02. | :37:10. | |
him very much. He declined into somebody like a cost in his own | :37:11. | :37:17. | |
life. I wholeheartedly support everything that Jeremy is saying | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
about dementia training in hospital and changing the way we think about | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
people with dementia in hospital. Our campaign is saying added to that | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
we have to open up hospitals so that carers are welcome. | :37:33. | :37:42. | |
What happened? The hospital had restricted visiting hours. The | :37:43. | :37:47. | |
doctors and nurses were great and they cured the leg ulcers. He had an | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
outbreak of Nora virus meaning we were not allowed in to see him. If I | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
had known then what I know now, I would not have accepted that. I | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
would have chained myself to the bed rather than abandon him, but I did | :38:00. | :38:05. | |
not know. He went in, articulate, consonant, healthy, utterly | :38:06. | :38:12. | |
immobile, cheerful. He had a good life. He came out inarticulate, | :38:13. | :38:17. | |
incontinent, skeletal, immobile, and he lived for a further nine months. | :38:18. | :38:22. | |
It is called lingering. He lingered for a further nine months and could | :38:23. | :38:28. | |
not recognise anybody and had no life really. I have a co-campaigner, | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
Julia Jones, and what we have both discovered since then with the help | :38:33. | :38:37. | |
of people like Jeremy and The Alzheimer's Society, is how | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
terrifyingly familiar this story is and how hazardous hospitals are for | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
old people. Tell us about the people you have helped in your support | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
group with similar examples. My friend Pat, her husband was admitted | :38:50. | :38:57. | |
to hospital in A and he was on a Bedford two days. Eventually he went | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
up to award and it was not a dementia ward and so they would not | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
let her in unless it was visiting hours. With persuasion she went in | :39:07. | :39:13. | |
and state 24/7. There were people there with dementia on drips and so | :39:14. | :39:17. | |
on. She had to keep running out and telling the nurses. They got an | :39:18. | :39:23. | |
agency nursing, but she was just there to observe, not help. I don't | :39:24. | :39:30. | |
think you have needed an overnight stay in hospital since your | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
diagnosis. They are horrible stories about people. The people looking | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
after people with dementia have no training. They are put on ordinary | :39:40. | :39:42. | |
wards and they don't realise that people with dementia need more water | :39:43. | :39:48. | |
than the average person. We get dehydrated all the time. But we | :39:49. | :39:55. | |
don't feel thirsty. They put water beside people with dementia that | :39:56. | :39:58. | |
they don't drink it, so they take it away. They put food beside them and | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
because they don't eat it, they assume they are not hungry. It is a | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
vicious cycle and the next meal time the same thing happens again. People | :40:08. | :40:12. | |
have ended up with malnutrition in hospital. That is really shocking | :40:13. | :40:17. | |
but so simple, the way Tommy has just explained it. It could be | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
sorted out now. It is not about spending more money. It is about all | :40:23. | :40:32. | |
the staff in the hospital, not just nurses, but support staff, being | :40:33. | :40:34. | |
more aware of dementia and making sure people eat and drink | :40:35. | :40:36. | |
more aware of dementia and making risk falling out of bed and injuring | :40:37. | :40:38. | |
themselves. With little things in place, we could make sure that | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
people with dementia do not stay for an extended time in hospital. ?400 a | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
day to stay in hospital. We are spending that money putting them in | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
hospital where they get worse. If we put that money into supporting | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
people in the community with the right support, everybody would be | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
better off. It is obvious the matter of training and that is essential as | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
it seems mad that it does not happen to all of the nursing staff. But no | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
matter how wonderful a nurse's training and how wonderful and aware | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
they are, you get some hospitals, and I think the figure is one in | :41:11. | :41:22. | |
three or four hospitals have people occupying beds who have dementia, | :41:23. | :41:27. | |
and the nurses just cannot cope with that. Weirdest community against | :41:28. | :41:34. | |
older people. If you have a child in hospital it is automatic that the | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
parents should be there. -- we are discriminating against older people. | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
It is not automatic if it is an older person and they are left alone | :41:45. | :41:47. | |
and they do not eat and gets aborted. Letting people be there | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
with their loved one and giving them support will help. Imagine waking up | :41:53. | :41:59. | |
in a hospital bed, every day. It is the first time we have seen the | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
room. The first time we have seen strangers in the room walking round. | :42:04. | :42:10. | |
In some hospitals, teaching hospitals, you can have ten people | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
around the bed, sticking glass tubes in your mouth and you don't know | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
what it is. The automatic reaction is to bite it. You don't know what | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
it is they are putting in your mouth and you don't understand. Thank you | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
very much for coming on the programme. Good luck with the | :42:29. | :42:34. | |
campaign. Your personal experiences of course, your pertinent experience | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
of dementia patients being treated in hospital, please let us know and | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
we will read some out. Still to come, a report from Oxfam saying | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
that the richest 1% of the world's population now owns the combined | :42:49. | :42:50. | |
wealth of everybody else on the planet. Absolutely astounding fact. | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
We will speak to the charity after ten o'clock. Time for the weather | :42:57. | :43:05. | |
because it is nearly ten o'clock. Hello, Carol. Have I seen you? Have | :43:06. | :43:12. | |
we done happy New Year? We have. Have you had any snow? A light | :43:13. | :43:21. | |
dusting yesterday morning. I want to show this picture. Is the animal | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
alive? Yes! But look at the Cat. Complete idiot! It is called What | :43:27. | :43:41. | |
Are You Playing At? . We did not see snow in all areas. Where I was, | :43:42. | :43:45. | |
there was none. We have seen people playing in it and enjoying it. It | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
has frozen, so now there is a risk of ice. It is starting to melt. But | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
this was not forecast on Friday morning. It was during the course of | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
Friday during the day that we started to realise this was going to | :44:00. | :44:05. | |
happen. Is this a retrospective apology? Lower! I will explain why. | :44:06. | :44:16. | |
-- no! Harry Kane Alex formed in the Atlantic and it is the first to form | :44:17. | :44:25. | |
since 1938. We had one in 1935 but that was quite unusual. If I show | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
you the satellite now, this is what happened. Hurricane Alex came up | :44:31. | :44:34. | |
through the Atlantic, North, with all of its energy coming with it. It | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
created a ripple which flooded across the UK, bumping into the cold | :44:40. | :44:44. | |
air, hence the snow. Simple scenario really. The burning question on your | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
lips, that is... Tell me what the burning question is. Will we see | :44:51. | :44:57. | |
more? I will press on with the forecast but always nice to see you. | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
A bit of snow in the forecast, especially across Scotland. This | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
week it is cold and it will turn milder through the week. Then | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
weather will be coming in again from the Atlantic, introducing wet and | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
windy conditions. Low pressure is driving things today. This weather | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
front is producing rain, sleet and snow across Scotland. This second | :45:21. | :45:23. | |
one has been producing heavy rain this morning across South Wales and | :45:24. | :45:29. | |
the South West. It will pull away and the gusty winds will ease. We | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
have seen a lot of rain from that so surface water and spray on the roads | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
across the South West of England towards Dorset and South Wales. And | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
rain and the other end of the country with sleet and snow. Snow | :45:43. | :45:45. | |
mostly over the higher ground and the Grampians but we cannot rule at | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
wintriness over lower levels, say in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Today will | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
brighten up through East Anglia, Essex, Kent, drifting to the | :45:55. | :46:04. | |
Midlands. For many western areas, it will be fairly cloudy and at times | :46:05. | :46:06. | |
we will see showers. For northern Scotland, we have already got | :46:07. | :46:08. | |
sunshine and some showers. The weather front sinks to the South and | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
clear conditions come in behind. Not too far away from the far North of | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
Northern Ireland, that weather front. Fairly cloudy across northern | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
England and cold. Wales will still have some showers this afternoon but | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
they will be fairly few and far between. With South West England, a | :46:26. | :46:30. | |
similar story after the heavy rain of this morning, with things | :46:31. | :46:34. | |
improving. Things turned recently. From the Midlands to the Isle of | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
Wight, more cloud with sunshine in the South East corner. Overnight, | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
the weather front across Scotland sinks South, as a feature. It could | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
still produce hill snow and showery outbreaks of rain in the South West. | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
Where we have got blue colouring on the chart, that is where we have got | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
clear skies and it will be cold. We are looking at a hard frost tonight. | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
If you focus on the South, in towns and cities, the temperature will be | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
around freezing or just below. In rural parts of the South it could be | :47:05. | :47:12. | |
down to minus seven or eight, lower than it has been in the South this | :47:13. | :47:15. | |
January. Tomorrow will be cold as we start with the risk of ice on | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
untreated surfaces. With clear skies there will be sunshine. But variable | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
amounts of cloud and showers in the South West at times at no heat wave | :47:23. | :47:28. | |
with temperatures still low. Two in the Northern isles with a height | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
average of four in London and maybe seven in Plymouth. | :47:32. | :47:49. | |
we have to open up hospitals so that carers are welcome. | :47:50. | :47:49. | |
Temperatures between three and seven Celsius. On Thursday we start to see | :47:50. | :47:57. | |
signs of the change. Bright spells or some sunshine. Showers coming | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
from the west. This is going to introduce wet and windy weather | :48:04. | :48:06. | |
behind me in the latter part of this week. | :48:07. | :48:13. | |
Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us, coming | :48:14. | :48:26. | |
Tennis players are being accused of deliberately throwing | :48:27. | :48:28. | |
It's emerged that over the last decade concerns have been raised | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
about 16 players who have ranked in the top 50. | :48:33. | :48:35. | |
In Paris they offered me double money to lose in straight sets. | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
The prisoner officers association tell us why they are looking to | :48:40. | :48:45. | |
force the Prison Service to bring forward a ban on smoking in England | :48:46. | :48:51. | |
and Wales. They are warning of an increase in the use of legal highs. | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
He might say things you don't agree with but should US Presidential | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
hopeful, Donald Trump, be banned from coming to Britain? | :48:58. | :49:03. | |
The BBC and Buzzfeed news has seen evidence of suspected match fixing | :49:04. | :49:08. | |
at the top level of world tennis, including games at Wimbledon. | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
16 players who have ranked in the top 50 have repeatedly fallen | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
under suspicion of throwing matches, but have been allowed | :49:16. | :49:18. | |
David Cameron says thousands of Muslim women who can't speak | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
The ?20 million-scheme is part of a drive to create a more cohesive | :49:24. | :49:29. | |
In many cases it is no fault of their own, | :49:30. | :49:39. | |
it is because they have been put into a situation where they have not | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
been encouraged to integrate, not learn the language. | :49:43. | :49:44. | |
That is not acceptable in this country and these proposals | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
Tata Steel is expected to announce more cuts to its UK workforce | :49:48. | :49:53. | |
It's expected to say more than 1,000 jobs will go, | :49:54. | :49:56. | |
750 of them in Port Talbot in south Wales. | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
Oil prices have continued to fall, following the lifting | :50:03. | :50:08. | |
Brent crude dropped below $28 a barrel for the first time | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
since 2003, before recovering slightly. | :50:13. | :50:16. | |
MPs are to debate a petition later calling for a ban on the US | :50:17. | :50:20. | |
Presidential hopeful Donald Trump from entering the UK. | :50:21. | :50:23. | |
More than half a million people signed a petition after the business | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
tycoon called for all Muslims to be barred from entering the US. | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
The Alzheimer's Society says there's evidence that people with dementia | :50:32. | :50:33. | |
in England are having to put up with poor hospital care. | :50:34. | :50:38. | |
The charity says patients are more likely to have falls in some | :50:39. | :50:40. | |
hospitals, and too many are being discharged at night. | :50:41. | :50:51. | |
These figures represent the wild's 62 richest people. Their combined | :50:52. | :51:06. | |
wealth adds up to 1.2 trillion pounds. | :51:07. | :51:13. | |
population now owns more than the combined wealth of everyone | :51:14. | :51:15. | |
With me now is Max Lawson, head of policy and advocacy for Oxfam. | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
How have you worked out this figure? Every year you see figures published | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
by a Swiss bank and you can browse that with the wealth of the top | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
richest people and that has shown us that 62 people who would fit on a | :51:29. | :51:32. | |
bus have the same wealth as the bottom half of the world's | :51:33. | :51:38. | |
population, an incredible figure. Terrible. With this inequality | :51:39. | :51:42. | |
crisis looming we have to see effective measures to close that gap | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
to try to reduce the gap between rich and poor. We will ask you about | :51:47. | :51:53. | |
the figures again in a second because some people are querying it, | :51:54. | :51:57. | |
but what do you think should be done? One of the reasons for this | :51:58. | :52:01. | |
runaway wealth of the register the top is that many of them make use of | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
a secretiveness work of tax havens to hide their wealth you have a | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
strange upside-down situation where might a billionaire can pay a lower | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
effective tax rate than a nurse or a teacher. Billionaires are paying 3% | :52:15. | :52:21. | |
or 5% whereas teachers are nurses maybe 25%. The UK Government is in a | :52:22. | :52:28. | |
unique position to clamp down on tax havens. The Queen of the head of | :52:29. | :52:33. | |
state of many of the world's tax havens, like Bermudez, the Cayman | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
Islands, the British Virgin Islands. The Chancellor would say he has | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
certainly done something. He has made some very strong speeches in | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
the right direction and even David Cameron a few years ago said that | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
tax evaders should wake up and smell the coffee but we have to see | :52:50. | :52:53. | |
greater action to put pressure on these secretive places because we | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
think the rich should pay their share the same as everybody else and | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
this would help to close this huge gap between those at the top and | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
ordinary people. Some people asking if the figures at the top are skewed | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
by those who own property. Not really. We have looked at all of the | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
numbers undone them again and had them peer reviewed by expert | :53:15. | :53:19. | |
economists. It is not just Oxfam saying this, it is the IMF and the | :53:20. | :53:24. | |
World Bank agreeing that inequality is out of control. It is not | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
inevitable. Closing the gap is not difficult. With the right policies | :53:30. | :53:33. | |
making direct NFS share we could live in a much more equal world | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
where we could see it spent on school books. Thank you. | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
Let's catch up with the sport with Ore. | :53:42. | :53:48. | |
It hasn't been the way authorities at the Australian Open would have | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
Controversy surrounding the sport this morning as reports of suspected | :53:52. | :53:57. | |
widespread match-fixing at the top of tennis have been revealed | :53:58. | :53:59. | |
They allege that over the last decade, 16 players ranked | :54:00. | :54:06. | |
in the world's top 50 have been repeatedly flagged | :54:07. | :54:09. | |
to the Tennis Integrity Unit over suspicions they have thrown matches. | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
Chris Kermode, who heads world tennis, rejected claims evidence | :54:14. | :54:15. | |
We are so confident that there is nothing in the sport that has been | :54:16. | :54:30. | |
suppressed. We are confident that the tennis integrity unit is doing | :54:31. | :54:35. | |
what it can. And tackles this issue very seriously. I think it will be | :54:36. | :54:42. | |
seen that tennis is in a very good place and we are acting accordingly. | :54:43. | :54:48. | |
Let's speak to the BBC's Simon Cox who has uncovered this story. | :54:49. | :54:55. | |
Chris Kermode saying there is no suppressing of any of these stories | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
but suggesting that your evidence tells a different story. What is | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
important, the ATP talked about suppressing evidence, we have never | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
said the ATP suppressed evidence, we said from the files that were leaked | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
to ours, they had received a report that investigators had spent a year | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
on and come up with 28 players who they felt should be investigated, | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
they said the evidence was really strong and the tennis integrity unit | :55:28. | :55:31. | |
had looked at that and did not call it evidence, they said it was | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
information and now do investigations were launched into | :55:36. | :55:39. | |
those players. We found some of those players cropped up in other | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
alerts after this. We are not saying they suppressed that, we are seeing | :55:44. | :55:49. | |
they were given evidence and did not act. Some of this information from | :55:50. | :55:52. | |
your evidence implicates Wimbledon matches being fixed as well. Are | :55:53. | :55:59. | |
they suggesting they will want to help or eradicate some of this going | :56:00. | :56:05. | |
forward? What is interesting about the Wimbledon matches, these are | :56:06. | :56:10. | |
linked to senior gamblers, that they had bet on three suspicious matches | :56:11. | :56:16. | |
at Wimbledon. I asked Chris Kermode at the ATP is they had informed | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
Wimbledon about this and he said they had. We have not spoken to the | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
all England club about this though it would be interesting to know | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
their response. We are still talking even with the evidence we have got | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
of 16 players over the last decade, still a small number compared to the | :56:37. | :56:42. | |
hundreds of tennis professionals. What the investigators had said who | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
spent a long time on this was that they felt there was an opportunity | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
for tennis to deal with this small corner of players who they thought | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
there was very strong suspicions they were involved in match fixing | :56:55. | :56:57. | |
antennas had not done that. Thank you. -- and tennis. We will hear | :56:58. | :57:09. | |
more on that as it comes out. We will bring you more as we hear it. | :57:10. | :57:14. | |
Hello, thank you for joining us this morning, welcome to the programme | :57:15. | :57:17. | |
if you've just joined us, we're on BBC Two and the BBC | :57:18. | :57:20. | |
News Channel until 11am this morning. | :57:21. | :57:27. | |
We want to hear from you. Thank you for those of you getting in touch | :57:28. | :57:35. | |
about that petition about Donald Trump entering the UK. Rogers says | :57:36. | :57:41. | |
there is no way the future American president should be banned from | :57:42. | :57:46. | |
Britain. He says it is odds-on that Donald Trump will be the next | :57:47. | :57:53. | |
American president. Someone says, do not let him anywhere near our | :57:54. | :57:58. | |
country. Someone says, do not ban him. Someone says, Donald Trump | :57:59. | :58:06. | |
should be educated. Someone says, what a song and dance about Donald | :58:07. | :58:11. | |
Trump, he has every right to be here. People are making a meal out | :58:12. | :58:13. | |
of nothing. Texts will be charged | :58:14. | :58:14. | |
at the standard network rate. Wherever you are you can | :58:15. | :58:16. | |
watch our programme online - via the bbc news app | :58:17. | :58:19. | |
or our website bbc.co.uk/victoria. This programme has learnt that | :58:20. | :58:25. | |
the Prisoners Officers Association is planning to try to force | :58:26. | :58:28. | |
the prison service to bring forward a ban on smoking in prisons | :58:29. | :58:31. | |
in England and Wales. They say an increase in the use | :58:32. | :58:37. | |
of legal highs like spice and black mamba are causing | :58:38. | :58:42. | |
huge problems for them - with both officers and inmates | :58:43. | :58:45. | |
regularly needing treatment - and plan to try and launch | :58:46. | :58:47. | |
a judicial review in court forcing The Prison Officers Association have | :58:48. | :58:50. | |
been recording incidents over the past 6 months from serving | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
prison officers who've reported feeling unwell, which | :58:55. | :58:57. | |
they've shared with us. This video, which appears to show | :58:58. | :59:37. | |
inmates at a prison in Oxfordshire preparing to take legal highs, | :59:38. | :59:41. | |
was posted online last week. Conditions have gone downhill in the | :59:42. | :59:47. | |
last six months. Staff Conditions have gone downhill in the | :59:48. | :59:59. | |
this is widely available everywhere. This is spice, a legal high widely | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
available on every landing anywhere. It is phenomenal. It is everywhere. | :00:04. | :00:06. | |
The Government says it's committed to a smoke-free prison service | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
and that a pilot ban is being brought in for all prisons | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
in Wales and for four prisons in England early this year. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me is Steve Gillan from the Prison Officers Association, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Andy Jackson and Kelly who are former prisoners and smokers | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
and James Parker from the Rehabilitation for | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Why do you not tell us why it is such a problem for your staff and | :00:26. | :00:40. | |
inmates? I will try to be brief and concise. The health act in 2006 | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
deemed because of the smoking in public places, everybody knows it is | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
damaging to health, but as well as secondary smoking and passive | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
smoking, in 2007 it was banned, it was brought in in Scotland in 2006, | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
and banned in England and Wales in 2007. Some exemptions for prisons | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
were given even though we objected, because the legislation was brought | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
in to protect workers from excessive smoke except. The government have | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
accepted it should be banned in prisons. It is going to be rolled | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
out over the next few years and you are saying that is not fast enough. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
That is not what the government are saying. If you look at the response, | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
it is on the never never. It could be rolled out in 20 years. What is | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
the issue? Quality control is measured. Their evidence say it is | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
off the radar that prison officers and prisoners will suffer or could | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
suffer ill-health effects. Everybody knows the dangers of | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
secondary smoking. They estimate that 80% of prisoners smoke and I am | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
not surprised. Some prisoners are given tobacco packs when they | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
arrived in prison whether they smoke or not. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
And obviously there is a security risk. Your staff are being taken to | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
hospital because of crushing chest pains, and the things we mentioned, | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
dizziness and nausea, which is not good. You are absolutely right, | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
Victoria. If places like the USA, Canada, Australia and news and can | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
implement non-smoking policies, then I am sure they can in England and | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Wales. It is very important, this issue. Added to that, the new legal | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
highs, which are out of control. They are so-called legal highs but | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
there is nothing illegal about them. They are damaging to the health of | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
prisoners and prison officers and something urgently needs to be done. | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
80% of inmates smoke, four out of five prisoners. You have been there. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
What is the culture and why do so many smoke? If I was going to put it | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
on something, why people smoke, it is a stressful environment for | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
people to be in. Personally, why I smoked while I was serving my | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
sentence, I was bored. I was spending a lot of time behind my | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
door, not really being engaged. I went into prison with substance | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
misuse and addiction to drugs and alcohol, so I addressed that by | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
completing an accredited programme. It is about addressing behaviour is | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
linked to taking drugs and alcohol but that can also be applied to | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
taking nicotine, smoking cigarettes. For me, I feel it is about having | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
that level of engagement. I did try to quit when I was inside but | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
prisons are notorious for long waiting lists. It took quite a while | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
for me to be seen. By then I did not really want to engage. Kelly, do you | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
accept that prison officers want to bring in this smoking ban in prisons | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
are an ad and Wales because it is a health hazard for staff and inmates | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
and potentially a security risk if staff are being taken to hospital? I | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
believe strongly that if there is going to be a smoking ban put in | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
place, things need to go alongside it. People go into prison with many | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
more problems than just smoking. The waiting list that Andy was talking | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
about. If I have got to say, it takes me two weeks to get looked at. | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
-- if I have got toothache. So the problems created by this ban coming | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
into place would be massive so they need something in place, some kind | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
of structure to support that. Prison officers, I can understand where | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
they are coming from, the health risks. I myself had a problem with | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
substance misuse. Before you went into jail? Yes. When you got inside, | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
you were already addicted to drugs, then what? You are in jail so of | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
course you are going to smoke? They assess you as soon as you get | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
through the door. You see a doctor. The quickest and easiest thing for | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
them is to put you on a script. And maintain you on that. What does that | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
mean? They put you on a methadone detox. As I know from experience in | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
prison, those drugs are being misused in prisons. In what way? In | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
that addicts will do anything they can to get a fix one behind the door | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
because there is nothing else to do. What lengths would add inmates go to | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
to get some methadone? I have known women to use their bodies. I have | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
known violence to be created from stuff. People getting into debt. | :06:18. | :06:30. | |
Major issues come in. We were saying earlier, with a bit of tobacco in | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
prison, it is either one extreme to the other. You can go and buy drugs | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
that will get you off your face or get food from the server workers. It | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
is something that prisoners have used for a long time as a currency, | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
I believe. Maybe I am totally naive but it is shocking to me that you | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
can get hold of such drugs inside jail. That shows you how difficult | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
it is to get rid of these drugs in jail and why it is having an effect | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
on staff and inmates in terms of second-hand smoking. It is a | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
challenge in many areas. We deliver substance misuse programmes but also | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
treatment programmes for people that want to stop smoking as well. There | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
has got to be the resources, the support. It is a pandemic now across | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
prisons, which has really picked up over the last year. The level of | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
support required for resin is using NPS, the so-called legal highs, | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
which are toxic and dangerous and unpredictable. Some of the reactions | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
that our clients and prisoners have been having, where they are being | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
blue lighted out of prison and needing emergency care. It is a | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
crisis that we are trying to manage and we are slowly getting there in | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
terms of education, training prison officers and staff, but something | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
like a smoking ban needs a co-ordinated approach across all of | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
the jails. This text says that the smoking ban is crazy cruel. | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Prisoners are miserable enough, so don't stop inmates smoking as well. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
The staff are delicate flowers. I think we are the only workers in | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Britain not protected by the legislation and I think that is | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
disgraceful, quite rightly. Prison officers are workers. You have heard | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
from Kelly, Andy and James, and each one of them has said about the | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
dangers of drugs and smoking in our prisons, and tobacco is used as a | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
currency. There is violence created by it. Fires set by it. It puts a | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
strain on the fire brigade. The NHS is coming under attack. The strain | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
from that as well. The sensible thing to do, because all the | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
evidence is there, is set out a clear plan and timetable to protect | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
workers and prisoners. And if that does not happen, you will take the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Government to a judicial review to force the ban? We have started the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
process. We have told the Government and our employer. We have put them | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
on a 30 day notice to improve health and safety for prisoners and staff | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
because the prisons are in crisis and we will go to a judicial review. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
And from our audience, banning smoking will lead to riots and | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
unrest so is it worth it? You have already mentioned Canada and New | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
Zealand and a small prison in Guernsey has done it, with 130 | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
inmates, without riots. Broadmoor implemented it very safely and | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
swiftly in 2008. From an inside perspective, I believe that will be | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
the case. I believe there will be an uproar. OK. If it was done over an | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
integrated process, with the right support, and the right incentives, | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
people getting activities outside their cells, and more access to the | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
gym, then it has the potential to be done properly. Thank you for coming | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
on the programme. The prison service told us they had long been committed | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
to a smoke-free prison environment and from early next year all prisons | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
in Wales and early this year, they mean, four prisons in the South West | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
of England will be smoke-free, they say. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Still to come before 11: The NHS says it will introduce its own sugar | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Should they be charging extra on sugary drinks | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Police with riot shields have gathered at an entrance | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
to the Calais migrants camp known as The Jungle. | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
Hundreds of migrants are being asked to leave from one area before | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
bulldozers move in to clear tents away. | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
They're being offered accommodation in a new housing project as part | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Our correspondent Gavin is at The Jungle. Tell us about what is | :10:58. | :11:10. | |
happening there right now and what the migrants are making of it. What | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
you can see now are the images of the riot police, a dozen or so, on | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
the edge of part of the camp, who are basically trying to secure an | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
area where three bulldozers have come in in the past half an hour or | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
so, to start trying to secure the area. It is very close to the | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
motorway here. This whole area around us is about two square | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
kilometres, former chemical dumping ground, but it is virtually empty | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
around here because migrants have left. If I show you around places | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
where there are still migrants... There are some that have been | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
listening to aid workers for the last few days and have been given a | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
deadline to move all of their things, move everything into | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
containers, or what most of them have done, move further into the | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
cab. That is what they have been doing. This is the Pakistani section | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
of the camp. Two tense here, this one and this one, they have left for | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
the UK. They have left these here, so when they are cleared there is | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
nobody living in them. I am told they have managed to get to the UK. | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
From this tent here, they left overnight. Everything they were | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
eating, these are the remnants of what they left behind. Some people | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
have left it late. They did not want to go. Come through this way. Some | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
people are burning what they have got, the remnants of their tent, in | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
a fire over here. I have seen maybe 30 or 40 people around here who have | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
said they will hold out. We are not seeing clashes but the police are | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
threatening that. Let me bring in Ahmed from Pakistan. Can we briefly | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
have a word with you? We have just seen you throw your tent into the | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
fire. Tell me about you. You have been told you have got to leave here | :13:05. | :13:16. | |
today. What is your situation? Yes, my life is no good. My mother, | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
father, problem. No money, no house, Pakistan. How long have you been | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
here? Five months. You have been burning your tent and your clothing. | :13:29. | :13:40. | |
Yes. Problem. 2000 people here. Where are you going to go? Police | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
are clearing the area. You have been told by French authorities that you | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
can go to containers with heating and electricity and 12 birds. Will | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
you go there? Yes, contain a good. -- container is good. Good life. You | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
like the idea of the container but there are too many people inside? | :14:05. | :14:15. | |
Yes. Thank you for talking to us. Let me give you a sense of one of | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
the issues that the authorities might face. Any Afghans have got | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
shacks, basically restaurants that they have set up here impromptu, and | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
maybe 20 or 30 say they are staying. The outside edge, the police seem to | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
have successfully cleared this morning. Thank you. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
Josie Naughton is co-founder of Help Refugees and has just | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
They have been helping to build and re-home refugees. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Hassan Akkad is a Syrian refugee who spent time in The Jungle last | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
August to October and is now claiming asylum in the UK. | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Welcome. Do you understand why migrants do not want to move to | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
containers with electricity and light? The majority of refugees in | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
The Jungle have refused to move because they say it is not fit for | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
them to stay in. They are seeking asylum. Refugees can move into | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
containers if they have applied for asylum in France, which can take | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
around a year to happen. A lot of them have refused to move into the | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
containers, knowing that they will spend more than a year living in a | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
container with 12 other people. Off and they have got family in the UK | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
that they want to. The media is misrepresenting the situation | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
slightly. The 1500 refugees in the area that they want to bulldozers | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
are not all being offered to move into the containers. There are two | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
separate issues. The containers can only take 50 new people a day at the | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
moment and they were only given a week to move 1500 people. If they | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
did not move, their homes were going to be bulldozed today, we were told. | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
They would effectively be sleeping in the cold because their shelters | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
would have been destroyed. The issue was to move the people as quickly as | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
possible. We had to move their shelters because otherwise they | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
would be outside. There are children, pregnant women, sick | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
people, the elderly. You got back last night and you were literally | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
moving mobile homes? Tents, shelters, caravans, and the refugees | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
were doing it, too. It was a peaceful atmosphere. People did not | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
want controversy. People just want to be safe and warm and that is the | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
main issue. It is about where they want to claim | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
asylum in the end. You wanted to come to the UK. You had taken this | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
journey from Syria through Greece and Macedonia. Many countries. You | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
got to France and still wanted to get to the UK. Why? Personally I | :16:54. | :17:03. | |
have friends here. I have people to back me up until I can figure out, | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
until I can get my leave to remain and find a job and all that. It is | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
easier for me to integrate in the UK. I speak English. I do not speak | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
a word of friends. A lot of people in the jungle wanted to get here | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
because they have family in the jungle wanted to get here | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
here, some have spoken these, some have children. There is a case going | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
to court, there is a lot of unaccompanied children sleeping in | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
the cold and there is a case for a three children who have parents in | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
the UK to be reunited with their parents and I do not think there are | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
many people who would say that a young child who had the parent in | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
the UK should not be reunited with them. You left Syria because? Sadly | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
it has turned into a words on. Every nation is bombing in Syria. It is | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
ranked as the most dangerous to place to live. You would be | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
hard-pressed to find someone who would not leave their country if | :18:11. | :18:11. | |
they were risking death. Thank you. The NHS says it will introduce a | :18:12. | :18:28. | |
sugar tax. One campaigner will tell us why it is an important step. | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
A petition demanding the businessman turned politician | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Donald Trump be banned from entering the UK will be debated | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
We'll be talking to a Trump supporter from Alabama. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
There have been calls for a full investigation into potential | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
match-fixing at major tennis tournaments, including Wimbledon, | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
following a joint investigation by BBC News and BuzzFeed News. | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
David Cameron says thousands of Muslim women who can't speak | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
The ?20 million-scheme is part of a drive to create a more cohesive | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
In many cases it is no fault of their own, | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
it is because they have been put into a situation where they have not | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
been encouraged to integrate, not learn the language. | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
That is not acceptable in this country and these proposals | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
Union leaders at tapped as still have been called into a meeting | :19:17. | :19:30. | |
where it is expected they will be told 700 and double act -- 750 jobs | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
will be cut. Oil prices have continued to fall, | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
following the lifting Brent crude dropped below $28 | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
a barrel for the first time since 2003, before | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
recovering slightly. The Alzheimer's Society says | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
hospitals in England play "Russian roulette" with the care | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
of dementia patients. The charity says patients are more | :19:54. | :19:54. | |
likely to have falls in some hospitals, and too many | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
are being discharged at night. Let's catch up with | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
the sport now with Ore. Here are the sporting headlines | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
for you this morning. Reports of suspected widespread | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
match-fixing at the top of tennis have been revealed by the BBC | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
and news agency BuzzFeed, alleging that over the last decade, | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
16 players ranked in the world's top 50 have been repeatedly flagged | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
to the Tennis Integrity Unit over World tennis have rejected claims | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
evidence of match-fixing In the Australian Open, | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
21-year-old Kyle Edmund has been knocked out, | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
after struggling with a cramp He lost in five sets to world | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
number 81 Damir Dzumhur. Heather Watson is aiming to reach | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
the second round in Melbourne for only the second time | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
in her career and she took the first set of her opening match | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
against Hungary's Timea Babos She is in the deciding set at the | :20:50. | :21:04. | |
moment. Rodney Sullivan has equalled Stephen Hendry's record of six | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
Masters titles. It was his first tournament after taking an | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
eight-month break. He won 10-1. Manchester United beat Liverpool 1-0 | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
at Anfield. Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of the game. Louis van | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
Gaal's side moved up to fifth in the Premier League. He was rather happy | :21:29. | :21:37. | |
about it. And still thinks they can win the Premier League. | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
A petition demanding the American tycoon-turned-politician | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Donald Trump be banned from entering the UK | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
It's been signed by more than half a million people, | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
following his call for Muslims to be temporarily banned | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
Joining us from Alabama is Trump supporter and Republican | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Can I be due some comments from people watching? Someone says, Trump | :22:00. | :22:12. | |
has managed to offend everyone, he is misogynistic, anti-Muslim, he | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
makes fun of disabled people, he is a billionaire, if he was not so rich | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
he would be another redneck lounging on his couch. That is quite a change | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
from what everyone used to think of him. Is the proposal over there | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
temporary like his proposal is temporary or permanent? That is a | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
really good question. I do not know the answer. I will find out. You | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
obviously do not think much of this. No. He is on target to win. People | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
over here seeing here is running away with this election. Come on. | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
There is a small but yes significant group of the electorate who really | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
likes him and his outrageous comments but he is not running away | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
with it. He has drawn larger crowds than any of them. 30 something | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
percent of expected Republicans is not small. Keith says I have no time | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
for Donald Trump or his views but to ban someone because you disagree | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
with their viewpoint is not the way forward. That is more your style? | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
Absolutely. They want to ban him for banning so it does not make sense. | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
He is going to end up president of the US and I assume England does | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
business with leaders around the world they do not like so it does | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
not make sense to me. Do you understand how his policy would work | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
in practice? It is about making America great again. It is a general | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
statement that we have to worry about America and getting America | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
back contract and that is why it is resonating well with Americans | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
because the economy is not great and has not been for a long time and he | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
is talking about taking care of America and our interests first. I | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
do not think anybody believes he is not willing to help the world, he | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
just wants to get America back on track. Why would banning Muslims get | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
America by contract? Because they are allowing large numbers of | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
immigrants and terrorism is on the rise. He is talking about pausing | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
until we can understand exactly why these people want to blow as up and | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
update our security measures for screening incoming immigrants and | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
refugees. He is talking about taking a pause and trying to figure out | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
what is going on and coming up with a better system. You probably know | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
that MPs here debate this because this petition has reached half the | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
million or whatever. There is no fog at the end and the British | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
government has said of course they will not ban him. That is great and | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
I am glad to see Donald Trump is getting so much attention in your | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
parliament. It sounds like they are real interested in Donald Trump | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
because they are spending a lot of time on him. Thank you. That was a | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Donald Trump supporter. "If you were going to create | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
a perfect sport for match fixing, That's what the man who created | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
the first anti-corruption organisation in tennis | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
told us an hour ago. Over the last decade 16 players | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
who have ranked in the top 50 have been repeatedly flagged to a body | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
called the Tennis Integrity Unit over suspicions they've | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
thrown matches. But that body, set up by the world | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
tennis authorities to combat match fixing, is accused | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
of doing very little. "They sat on it and from up on high, | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
they don't want it out there," is what one betting industry | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
source told the BBC. So all of the players, | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
including winners of Grand Slam titles, were allowed | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
to continue competing. This morning the Tennis Integrity | :26:05. | :26:05. | |
Unit said it absolutely rejected any suggestion that evidence of match | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
fixing has been suppressed for any reason, saying, "No player | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
or official is immune from investigation, regardless | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
of their status or position Investigations follow | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
where evidence leads." Dom Inglot is a doubles specialist, | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
he's the British Doubles Number 2 and was part of the British Davis | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
Cup winning team this year when he played in some | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
of the earlier rounds but not the Davis Cup Final and reached | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
the US Open doubles semi final. He's played with Andy | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
and Jamie Murray. From Melbourne, where | :26:40. | :26:40. | |
the Australian Open is underway, he told me how players are reacting | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
to news of these match fixing In terms of how many people | :26:43. | :26:51. | |
supposedly are involved, that is what some players are worried about, | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
but we also understand these are maybe flagged up matches, not | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
guaranteed to be fixed matches. Have you ever watched a game where uses | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
Becky to something was up? Not from a match fixing perspective. You do | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
see instances with players being maybe a little bit injured or | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
fatigued after playing long singles matches or doubles matches and they | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
are drained and cannot play at their highest level, they are not used to | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
it because of physical difficulties and you understand why they might be | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
subpar but not where somebody is playing fantastic and all of a | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
sudden not and changing their game. I have never seen anything like | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
that. I do not know many people that have. The other players are not | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
aware of it. You have to be careful not to take gossip and rumour too | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
seriously because one wants to see certain things but where there is | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
truth I have never seen anything like it. Have you ever been | :28:04. | :28:10. | |
approached to fix a match? I have not been approached to fix a match. | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
No one that I know that I have spoken to personally has ever been. | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
It would be easy to contacting as players from any level of the game | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
because you all have Twitter accounts, Facebook accounts, you are | :28:26. | :28:32. | |
an -- if you are an unscrupulous gambler it would be easy to approach | :28:33. | :28:39. | |
a player. I definitely could always get someone to approach someone on | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
Facebook. We have people Twitter trolling or Facebook trolling but | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
everybody knows we have to report these people because any incidents | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
of somebody contacting you regarding any sort of betting past or future | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
you have to report to make sure you are covering yourself as well. | :28:59. | :29:05. | |
Everyone knows that. Contacting players is not that hard but every | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
player especially at this level does not want to ruin their career. These | :29:13. | :29:19. | |
documents show there are about eight players who have been flagged up | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
over the last decades who are involved in the Australian Open over | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
the next few days and weeks. Novak Djokovic has said there is no real | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
proof or evidence yet of any active players being involved in a max -- | :29:33. | :29:44. | |
match fixing. You may be in a match that perhaps is has some suspicious | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
betting placed on it and that match has been flagged. You may have been | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
part of that match but it does not mean you are match fixing. It means | :29:53. | :29:57. | |
they have decided to look into your match and they might decide there | :29:58. | :30:03. | |
was no untoward activity. You have to be very careful. That certain | :30:04. | :30:12. | |
investigations does not mean anybody has done anything untoward. There | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
have been cases where maybe some things have been strange in terms of | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
betting but I am sure the tennis integrity unit not banning people | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
means they have found there is not anything happening or not enough | :30:26. | :30:31. | |
evidence. Novak Djokovic confirmed that members of his team in 2000 | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
were approached to throw a game in Russia. He said of course we | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
rejected it straightaway. Do you worry about the trust of people who | :30:42. | :30:42. | |
love to watch tennis? Absolutely. This sport is based on | :30:43. | :30:54. | |
everybody doing their best and doing what they can to win. Everybody in | :30:55. | :31:01. | |
the locker room, all of us, we care massively that the public believe | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
that this is a true sport and the way it should be. We care very much | :31:05. | :31:09. | |
about that. With regards to what Novak Djokovic said, I have heard of | :31:10. | :31:18. | |
things like that happening, that is why the TIU was set up, off the back | :31:19. | :31:25. | |
of that story, and I have not heard of anything happening since then. | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
Dom Inglot, the British doubles player. | :31:30. | :31:33. | |
Financial markets have fallen sharply this morning, | :31:34. | :31:35. | |
after the cost of crude oil fell below $30 a barrel, | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
hitting its lowest levels since April 2004. | :31:39. | :31:42. | |
Is it not, her nasal Hirst? Actually it has fallen below $28 a barrel, | :31:43. | :31:51. | |
which are key psychological barriers. But 18 months ago oil was | :31:52. | :31:58. | |
around $120 a barrel and 80 months ago people thought we were going to | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
run out. The problem now is we don't have storage facilities around the | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
world to store it. The world has 5 billion barrels of oil basically in | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
storage. That is enough if every oil well in the world stops producing | :32:13. | :32:21. | |
for six months of oil. The big news was off the back of Iran, and we | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
knew this was coming. The sanctions have been lifted, meaning Iran can | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
start putting its oil into the market, which is good for them but | :32:31. | :32:33. | |
not necessarily good for prices in the sense that it will continue | :32:34. | :32:39. | |
suppressing the price of oil. At the moment, the world produces a million | :32:40. | :32:45. | |
barrels more than what we are using. Iran will add half a million, | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
500,000 barrels to that date. I am talking about the daily rate. $28 | :32:52. | :33:00. | |
per barrel. We have people out there, big institutions, betting | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
that we will see $20 per barrel. Why not pull back on producing it if | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
they want to get the price up? Pack would have done that, the Saudis | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
would have done that. -- Opec would have done that. When Iran went | :33:17. | :33:20. | |
off-line and the sanctions were imposed, the Saudis grabbed the | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
Iranian market share, so they could sell oil to more places around the | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
world. If they cut production, they will lose some of that market share, | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
so they are not prepared to do that at the moment. And some suggest the | :33:33. | :33:41. | |
Saudis are trying to play a price game with the Americans. And it has | :33:42. | :33:47. | |
been a success for the Americans, producing their own energy and oil | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
and gas. The Saudis are trying also to bring the prices down. Some would | :33:53. | :33:59. | |
say this. Not me! They are trying to bring the prices down to knock the | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
American shale gas producers out of business. It will get so low it is | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
not worth doing, basically. It is a good story for consumers. Hurray. | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
Petrol prices are cheaper. Heating is cheaper if you are using oil for | :34:13. | :34:19. | |
heating. It is all good news for the consumer. What is not good news is | :34:20. | :34:25. | |
the reason oil is low. The reason is that we are seeing the global | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
economy slowing down once again. The likes of China, the emerging | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
economies, Brazil. They are using less. They are slowing so they do | :34:34. | :34:37. | |
not need as much and they are using less. It is a supply and demand | :34:38. | :34:42. | |
issue. It is a global slowing economy that is part of this | :34:43. | :34:49. | |
picture. OK. That is fine. The more enthusiast dig you get, the closer | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
you get to me and it is slightly unnerving! Until I knock you off the | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
show! Coming up next! Take it away! Now we all saw the pictures | :34:57. | :35:05. | |
of Tim Peake last week successfully completing his space walk | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
from the International Space But space missions don't | :35:09. | :35:10. | |
don't always go to plan. Take this attempt by the Californian | :35:11. | :35:16. | |
company SpaceX to land its supposedly reusable | :35:17. | :35:19. | |
rocket Falcon 9. It blasted off yesterday | :35:20. | :35:20. | |
and delivered a satellite into orbit But returning to Earth didn't go | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
quite as well. Oh, dear. That is not good. How much | :35:24. | :35:26. | |
kit is that? It just crumples. These pictures are from SpaceX owner | :35:27. | :35:58. | |
Elon Musk, the founder of PayPal. He says one of the rocket's four | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
legs didn't latch on the landing pad, which caused it | :36:02. | :36:04. | |
to topple over and explode. He didn't say how much that would | :36:05. | :36:13. | |
have cost him. Thank you for your many comments about Donald Trump and | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
the fact that MPs are going to be debating that petition that calls | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
for him to be banned from entering Britain hollering his comments that | :36:20. | :36:28. | |
suggested that he would ban Muslim is going to the United States if he | :36:29. | :36:32. | |
wins the presidential campaign. Donald Trump makes a good point. | :36:33. | :36:39. | |
People follow him a large lenders and they should not be ignored. This | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
one, Donald Trump is talking sense. And this one, he should never be | :36:45. | :36:47. | |
allowed into the UK because he is bigoted and evil. And this one, do | :36:48. | :36:53. | |
not ban Donald Trump. We have freedom of speech so let him talk | :36:54. | :36:56. | |
from Hyde Park Corner. We allow clerics to preach hate and violence. | :36:57. | :37:01. | |
And this one, he has his right to freedom of speech and so do those | :37:02. | :37:02. | |
that disagree with him. The NHS is planning | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
to introduce its own sugar tax in hospitals and health centres | :37:09. | :37:11. | |
in England to help tackle Hospitals will start charging more | :37:12. | :37:13. | |
for sugary drinks and snacks sold With me now in the studio | :37:14. | :37:25. | |
is Kawther Hashem, a nutritionist and researcher from the campaign | :37:26. | :37:33. | |
group Action On Sugar. I think it is a great idea. How can | :37:34. | :37:42. | |
hospitals give easy access to these products? It is outrageous that they | :37:43. | :37:46. | |
are priced similar to water. Water should be more readily available and | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
accessible to everyone in the hospital and not priced similarly to | :37:50. | :37:54. | |
sugary drinks. It seems amazing that they have not done it before. | :37:55. | :38:00. | |
Exactly. How bad is the obesity problem and how much do sugary | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
drinks and snacks contribute, which are sold in hospital vending | :38:05. | :38:14. | |
machines? 60% of the UK population is overweight or obese and type 2 | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
diabetes costs the NHS staggering amounts and could potentially | :38:18. | :38:19. | |
bankrupt the NHS. Sugary drinks contribute to the risk of getting | :38:20. | :38:24. | |
type 2 diabetes. It is very easy to drink these drinks and get a whole | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
meal, but he would not be able to eat as many oranges, or actual food | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
with that sugar content, so it does not give you that filling effect of | :38:35. | :38:45. | |
other foods. Reducing people, their consumption, is doable. It is | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
calories that we can take in very easily and it contributes to the | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
overweight and obesity crisis. Maybe hospitals should not sell sugary | :38:55. | :39:00. | |
drink that all. That is my opinion. We are in a situation where the NHS | :39:01. | :39:06. | |
feels that it has to raise revenue. The reason why they have access to | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
these products and they sell them is because it raises some revenue for | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
hospitals. It could potentially produce more revenue if they can tax | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
it, but that is not an idea we want to go behind. We want to discourage | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
people from drinking too much of these products. There is evidence of | :39:24. | :39:29. | |
a link between increasing the price and a drop in consumption. | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
Absolutely. We have seen it in Mexico. We have seen it on a small | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
scale modelling studies and it will have an effect of discouraging | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
people. If there is a wide price differentiation between water and | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
those types of drinks or even confectionery and better options | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
like the banana, they will go for the option that is healthier | :39:50. | :39:54. | |
perhaps. Some people find it really annoying that they are forced to pay | :39:55. | :40:07. | |
more for something that they choose to pay for and eat. It is up to | :40:08. | :40:10. | |
them. They know it has got sugar in it and they still make that choice | :40:11. | :40:13. | |
to buy it. That is fair enough but in a hospital environment we need to | :40:14. | :40:16. | |
think twice. Why are people in hospital and what are they eating | :40:17. | :40:18. | |
and drinking that contributes to the bad health? We know that our diets | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
are contributing more to bad health than alcohol and smoking so we have | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
to consider the effects of that on our health and reduce how much we | :40:25. | :40:31. | |
are having. The boss of the NHS has suggested to the Guardian that this | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
is what is going to happen to hospitals and health centres in | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
England. Where does this leave the Government? We are expecting a big | :40:40. | :40:45. | |
report from them soon, any moment now, and they are apparently going | :40:46. | :40:48. | |
to make a decision on whether to introduce a sugar tax across the | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
board. Where do you think that leaves the Government now? I think | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
it will put them in a situation where it will be difficult for them | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
to not seriously consider a sugary drinks tax. Some local authorities | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
have prevented it. In Brighton, Jamie Oliver is putting it in their | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
restaurants and other restaurants have done the same. Now the NHS | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
wants to do the same, so it puts them in a situation where you have | :41:15. | :41:19. | |
got to consider it. We should try it in the UK and see what effect it | :41:20. | :41:24. | |
will have. What do you say to the manufacturers and supermarkets who | :41:25. | :41:29. | |
say that we are very gradually... Because you cannot do it quickly | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
because consumers will be put off. We are gradually reducing the sugar | :41:35. | :41:36. | |
content and coming up with alternatives but it takes time so | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
bear with us, campaign groups and lobbyists. That is fine but at the | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
moment we have a growing crisis and we need solutions that are | :41:46. | :41:48. | |
relatively quick and that could perhaps work. We could later on | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
consider taking away the tax because we have better options in | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
supermarkets but at the moment we need something quicker that will | :41:58. | :42:00. | |
reduce consumption of those products. Thank you. The sugar | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
comment is just coming up on my email. No, it will take too long. | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
Why is the NHS selling such rubbish in the first place? Richard had the | :42:11. | :42:19. | |
mail. -- Richard had emailed. But you have already answered that. It | :42:20. | :42:25. | |
is the revenue. Thank you for coming on the programme. We heard from The | :42:26. | :42:28. | |
Alzheimer's Society earlier who said that there is evidence that people | :42:29. | :42:31. | |
with dementia in England are having to put up with shoddy hospital care. | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
Patients are more likely to fall over in some hospitals and many are | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
being discharged at night which can be really distressing and | :42:40. | :42:42. | |
disorientating. Thank you for those of you that have got in touch to | :42:43. | :42:46. | |
share your experiences. Siobhan says her mother has dementia and was in | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
Barnet hospital for a month. To get the care she needed we felt | :42:51. | :43:01. | |
having someone familiar therefore most of the time, communicating with | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
staff, finding out what the doctors were saying in the morning when they | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
do their rounds, helping her eat and drink, was essential. We even helped | :43:09. | :43:10. | |
with washing and the staff did not mind. I think they thought we were | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
doing the right thing for our mother. That is off the back of a | :43:14. | :43:16. | |
campaign for some people to be allowed to stay with the dementia | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
patients in hospital, 24/7 effectively. Linda's mother went | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
into hospital following a fall at her care home. The Sinn needed | :43:25. | :43:27. | |
plastic surgery and the operation was delayed several times. In | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
hospital, she had water infections because of dehydration and she got C | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
difficile. She suffered confusion and has vascular dementia. She fell | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
out of bed twice and broke her hip. It was operated on and then it was | :43:43. | :43:45. | |
dislocated by which time she was too ill to be operated on. She died | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
after being in hospital for three months. I am so sorry about your | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
mother. Thank you for getting in touch. Tomorrow on the programme we | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
will hear from a British man captured by cannibals while on | :43:58. | :44:02. | |
holiday in Papua New Guinea. It is | :44:03. | :44:03. |
