This morning: can people who beat up and abuse their partners

:00:08.:00:12.

One charity who's working with offenders tells

who was repeatedly attacked by her ex boyfriend -

:00:22.:00:23.

and eventually left for dead by him in an attack in a pub car

:00:24.:00:26.

Also on the programme - a couple from Leeds who dramatically

:00:27.:00:31.

escaped gunmen at the Bataclan in Paris tell us why they felt

:00:32.:00:35.

compelled to return last night to watch the Eagles of Death Metal

:00:36.:00:38.

finish their concert. Plus - how many teaspoons of sugar

:00:39.:00:47.

I feel really fortunate, not that we just got out, but we escaped the

:00:48.:00:56.

worst of the trauma by being on the floor.

:00:57.:00:58.

do you think are in this drink?

:00:59.:01:04.

Thank you, very kind. How many do you reckon?

:01:26.:01:34.

We will bring you the latest news and developing stories, get in touch

:01:35.:01:38.

on the latest news today. Can those who beat up

:01:39.:01:48.

and emotionally abuse their partners It's why the most dangerous men -

:01:49.:01:51.

and it is mostly men, those most at risk of

:01:52.:02:00.

murdering their partner, will be helped to change

:02:01.:02:02.

their behaviour or they will The Drive programme,

:02:03.:02:05.

is backed by domestic abuse charity, SafeLives, and Respect,

:02:06.:02:16.

and also local police and crime commissioners, and it's

being trialled in Essex, It's not voluntary -

:02:19.:02:19.

the men and smaller number of women who are identified as the highest

:02:20.:02:25.

risk offenders must co-operate. The pilot scheme will run

:02:26.:02:27.

for the next three years and aims Diana Barron is from SafeLives

:02:28.:02:30.

and we'll talk to 19 year old Rayna Holden too,

:02:31.:02:38.

who was repeatedly attacked by her ex boyfriend -

:02:39.:02:40.

and eventually left for dead by him in an attack in a pub

:02:41.:02:43.

car park in Manchester. Welcome. Thank you for coming on the

:02:44.:02:57.

programme. Let's begin with you, Diana. You can talk about this pilot

:02:58.:03:06.

scheme, how are you going to stop men, and as we said, it is mostly

:03:07.:03:12.

men, being violent and emotionally abusive? At the core of this scheme

:03:13.:03:16.

is making sure we hold men accountable and we are going to try

:03:17.:03:21.

and do that in two ways. Firstly, they will get a case manager who

:03:22.:03:29.

will will work with them, try and identify any lots to them stopping

:03:30.:03:32.

their abusive behaviour but at the same time making sure any continuous

:03:33.:03:38.

abusive behaviour is tackled by the criminal justice agencies, the

:03:39.:03:40.

abusive behaviour is tackled by the courts, and that they are held to

:03:41.:03:43.

account because the reality today for the vast majority of abusive men

:03:44.:03:47.

is that they are neither given an opportunity to change or held to

:03:48.:03:51.

account, and this programme aims to do that. Let's talk about the case

:03:52.:03:57.

worker elements, what will they do with the men? They need to build a

:03:58.:04:02.

relationship with the individual concerned, then they very frequently

:04:03.:04:11.

will have a lot of other organisations, the police, social

:04:12.:04:14.

services, involved, so they might do that in partnership with them. If

:04:15.:04:17.

they are not involved then they really have to take the safety of

:04:18.:04:22.

the victim into account because that is essential. They need to build a

:04:23.:04:27.

relationship, understand the needs of that person but also be very

:04:28.:04:31.

clear that this is about them taking responsibility for what they have

:04:32.:04:36.

done, and on that basis and only on that basis is moving forward. When

:04:37.:04:40.

you say the needs of the perpetrator, do you mean housing or

:04:41.:04:47.

drinking or finding a job? Is that what you mean? The caseworker will

:04:48.:04:52.

help them sort those error is out? They are never the causes of

:04:53.:04:56.

domestic abuse but they can contribute to the severity and risk

:04:57.:05:00.

that somebody poses, so it will be alcohol, drug, mental health,

:05:01.:05:07.

housing problems, our whole range of things that may be barriers to

:05:08.:05:12.

change. Is it making excuses for those perpetrators? Today, we are

:05:13.:05:19.

turning a blind eye, and this will shine as what life... A spotlight on

:05:20.:05:24.

those guys shine as what life... A spotlight on

:05:25.:05:29.

disappear through those cracks which they are good at doing historically.

:05:30.:05:34.

When they disappeared through the cracks, that means the victims are

:05:35.:05:38.

disappearing as well? Their victims are potentially disappearing through

:05:39.:05:42.

the cracks all left with the problem of sorting out the abuse, and,

:05:43.:05:49.

really, we want to shift, not just through Drive, but through other

:05:50.:05:54.

initiatives, the whole conversation from, why doesn't she leave to why

:05:55.:06:00.

doesn't she stop? Women are carrying the responsibility of sorting out

:06:01.:06:06.

domestic abuse. What if there are no reissues and the perpetrator has a

:06:07.:06:10.

house and a job, doesn't have a drink or drug problems? There will

:06:11.:06:15.

be different types of people we will be working with. You will have

:06:16.:06:22.

psychopathic individuals who maybe have none of those issues, those are

:06:23.:06:26.

potentially the most dangerous group, and at that point we need to

:06:27.:06:30.

make sure criminal justice comes in and managers their behaviour and

:06:31.:06:39.

risk. -- manages. What if he says no and says he does not want to work

:06:40.:06:44.

with the caseworker? Ed Leigh says no, assuming he continues with his

:06:45.:06:58.

abusive behaviour -- if he says no to stop the Drive caseworker will

:06:59.:07:04.

work very closely with the priests and the person supporting the victim

:07:05.:07:08.

so that we get lots and lots of information about what he is up to

:07:09.:07:10.

and therefore the police will have the grounds on which to arrest, and

:07:11.:07:20.

CBS can charge. -- CPS. Is your scheme going to let perpetrators

:07:21.:07:25.

off? They will have been abusive up to the point you intervene, and then

:07:26.:07:33.

you say, we can hope you -- hope you -- help you find a house and stop

:07:34.:07:38.

drinking and so on? If you have performed a criminal act, you need

:07:39.:07:41.

to face prosecution but the reality is that most of the sanctions at the

:07:42.:07:45.

end of a court process will be making limited difference to the

:07:46.:07:50.

safety of the victim. We are interested in the safety of the big

:07:51.:07:54.

them. Perpetrators of abuse are getting off scot-free all over the

:07:55.:07:58.

place today as we are speaking and sitting on the sofa right now, we

:07:59.:08:03.

want to change exactly that. Thank you for talking to us, I will ask

:08:04.:08:09.

you for your reaction to this new pilot scheme in just a moment, but I

:08:10.:08:14.

wonder if you could tell our audience how your ex-boyfriend used

:08:15.:08:22.

to behave towards you? My ex-partner was very abusive, physically and

:08:23.:08:29.

mentally. Used to put me down. -- key. If things did not go his way or

:08:30.:08:37.

he wanted to do something and I did not want to do it, that is when the

:08:38.:08:41.

abuse happened. When he didn't have money for alcohol or drugs, I took

:08:42.:08:50.

the backlash of that. Can I ask you, what kind of things did he used to

:08:51.:08:57.

do to you? He picked me up, threw me against the radiator, pulled me

:08:58.:08:59.

about with the hair, punched me in the face, slap me, call me nasty

:09:00.:09:12.

names. He was just a horrible man. As well is that horrific physical

:09:13.:09:18.

abuse, on the controlling side of things, he would try and control

:09:19.:09:21.

access to your phone or three were allowed to see? Who I was allowed to

:09:22.:09:26.

see, speak to, who I had on my face work, and there was one occasion I

:09:27.:09:31.

was on the phone to my grandfather, and he snatched the phone out of my

:09:32.:09:38.

hands and eight the battery of the phone and I do not have any contact

:09:39.:09:42.

with him. -- ate. Why was he doing this to you? I don't know the

:09:43.:09:48.

reasons why he was doing it, but... I don't know... I think it is more

:09:49.:09:55.

to do with having control over a person. He used to like controlling

:09:56.:10:01.

me. And telling me what to do. Can I ask you about the attack that he

:10:02.:10:06.

committed on you in that pub car park in November 2014? I was meant

:10:07.:10:12.

to be going to meet him so I walked down to the pub in the village in

:10:13.:10:19.

Washington, I walked into the pub, and Darryl was stood with his mate

:10:20.:10:23.

and two other women, playing pool with them, smacking their bottoms, I

:10:24.:10:33.

walked out of the pub and lit a cigarette, the mates followed me

:10:34.:10:37.

out, and ten minutes after Dowell followed me out, he was telling me,

:10:38.:10:41.

why are you getting jealous? You are not my girlfriend any more. He was

:10:42.:10:46.

telling me I was worthless, I meant nothing to him, I was just a child

:10:47.:10:51.

to him, he did not care about me, which ended up in a massive

:10:52.:10:58.

arguments, and that argument let's to him chasing me out of the car

:10:59.:11:03.

park. -- Daryl. He had a pint glass in his hand and he tried to smash it

:11:04.:11:10.

on my head. He hit me six times before it shattered. He grabbed me

:11:11.:11:13.

by the hair when their pint glass shattered. He pulled me down the

:11:14.:11:18.

banking and then had me behind a car and kept punching me, kicking me,

:11:19.:11:23.

punching me. When I was unconscious, he picked me up by their hair and

:11:24.:11:26.

dragged me halfway across the car park to a set of beans where he then

:11:27.:11:30.

dropped me again and stood all over my body. The audience is seeing some

:11:31.:11:38.

of the very distressing CCTV footage. It is distressing enough to

:11:39.:11:42.

watch this, so God knows how it was for you. I know it is difficult for

:11:43.:11:48.

you to talk about this but I appreciate you taking the time. You

:11:49.:11:57.

are welcome, honestly. After what he did to you, he left you there. He

:11:58.:12:02.

did, he left me there. His mate stood and watched 15 minutes of the

:12:03.:12:06.

attack and did nothing to stop him. They both left. They both left

:12:07.:12:12.

together. When you eventually regained consciousness, which

:12:13.:12:17.

thankfully you did, what did you do? I remember a woman, she was working

:12:18.:12:24.

in the pub and she came outside, and I stood up, I had a dislocated knee,

:12:25.:12:28.

I had three broken ribs, severe bruising over my body, and I stood

:12:29.:12:38.

up and all I wanted was a fag, believe it or not! I did not know

:12:39.:12:44.

what had happened to me. Even then, I wanted to chase after him to try

:12:45.:12:48.

and sort it out. That is how much I was in love with him! The police

:12:49.:12:55.

were eventually contact. That was through the pub. I got away from the

:12:56.:13:05.

pub and went to my friend's house. Two days later, the police came to

:13:06.:13:09.

my mate's door and said, we are arresting your ex-partner. They

:13:10.:13:21.

said, we have the CCTV footage, the people that rang the police, if it

:13:22.:13:25.

was not for them, I would not be where I am now. I was not going to

:13:26.:13:29.

ring the police. Explain why. I totally understand why but explain

:13:30.:13:34.

to people who do not understand that. I was madly in love with him

:13:35.:13:38.

and when you are in love with someone you will do anything to

:13:39.:13:41.

protect them whether they are in the right or the wrong and that is what

:13:42.:13:45.

I did, I stood by him like a partner does. You tried to help them get a

:13:46.:13:54.

lower jail sentence, didn't you? Because you can't withdraw

:13:55.:13:59.

statements any more, after I gave the police statement of what

:14:00.:14:02.

happened that night, I could not withdraw its. -- it. I felt guilty

:14:03.:14:09.

about what I told the police that he had done to me. Me and his mum came

:14:10.:14:13.

up with an idea to help them, writing a letter saying I dropped

:14:14.:14:18.

him and that is why he beat me. That did not happen. He was convicted of

:14:19.:14:24.

assault, given a jail sentence beer, served over three months my have you

:14:25.:14:31.

seen since his release? No, I don't want to see him. I was 17 and

:14:32.:14:38.

classed as a minor. What he did to me was horrific, I never want

:14:39.:14:42.

anybody like that in my life, I am better than that. Did he have any

:14:43.:14:46.

issues that he could have been helped with in the way that Diana

:14:47.:14:52.

has been explaining to us, about this new pilot scheme? He had

:14:53.:14:57.

issues, drugs, alcohol abuse, his temper, but with things like this,

:14:58.:15:09.

some people just don't want to change, they are just that way. The

:15:10.:15:12.

girlfriend before me coming he did the same to her. Due know what I

:15:13.:15:19.

mean? -- before me, he did the same to her. -- do you. In terms of what

:15:20.:15:27.

you heard, do you think it might help other men, this pilot scheme? I

:15:28.:15:33.

think it is a good approach but like I said some people just do not want

:15:34.:15:35.

to change. Do you have the attitude where you

:15:36.:15:51.

feel everybody should given a second chance? It is not about getting a

:15:52.:15:57.

second chance, as she said very powerfully, it is about keeping you

:15:58.:16:01.

safe. We have heard he had a previous girlfriend and presumably

:16:02.:16:04.

he will have a new girlfriend. This is about keeping his next partners

:16:05.:16:10.

and his next children safe. We do that, either through change, but she

:16:11.:16:17.

will know better than anyone else if this particular guy can change it or

:16:18.:16:22.

not, if not, three months inside and now free to do whatever he wants, is

:16:23.:16:28.

not keeping anybody say. The point of this programme is for those who

:16:29.:16:32.

are not going to change, their behaviour needs to be managed much

:16:33.:16:35.

more strongly. I have lots of comments from viewers on my tablet,

:16:36.:16:41.

which I have left over their and I will grab it in a moment. Liz from

:16:42.:16:45.

Glasgow says, regarding the news this morning the perpetrators of

:16:46.:16:52.

domestic violence will be supported to change their ways. Why not arrest

:16:53.:16:57.

them and lock them up like anyone else who assaults another person?

:16:58.:17:01.

Absolutely and we would entirely agree with that. We would describe

:17:02.:17:06.

it more than we will be challenging people's behaviour. Those who should

:17:07.:17:12.

be in the criminal justice system will be in the criminal justice

:17:13.:17:15.

system and this programme will make them much more visible. We heard,

:17:16.:17:19.

even with a serious assaults, the sanction doesn't keep people safe in

:17:20.:17:25.

the long term. Let's take the example of her ex, he went through

:17:26.:17:29.

the criminal justice system, found guilty. He was jailed, served his

:17:30.:17:35.

sentence. As you say, three months is not long enough to rehabilitate

:17:36.:17:38.

an individual who has behaved like this in the past. How would you, on

:17:39.:17:45.

this pilot scheme, go about getting him or somebody like him on your

:17:46.:17:52.

scheme? This will start with the risk posed to the victim. He will be

:17:53.:17:58.

contacted, because in this case she would have been identified as high

:17:59.:18:03.

risk and correctly so. If he was prepared to engage with the case

:18:04.:18:08.

manager, they would address some of the issues we have talked about. But

:18:09.:18:15.

if he says no... Which is highly likely. The case manager will work

:18:16.:18:21.

closely with the police to make sure any criminal behaviour is picked up.

:18:22.:18:28.

Not just domestic abuse, but driving without insurance, or using class a

:18:29.:18:33.

drugs, whatever it might be, anything will be pursued. Obviously

:18:34.:18:38.

he isn't here, let's leave him out of this conversation. But there are

:18:39.:18:43.

other examples we can use. Let me read you diss to eat... I work with

:18:44.:18:48.

victims of violence, tell me how we get the abusers to truly engage when

:18:49.:18:53.

many don't recognise they need it? It is going to come up again and

:18:54.:19:00.

again, isn't it? It goes on, there isn't enough funding for victims in

:19:01.:19:04.

the meantime, what do you say to both those points? In terms of the

:19:05.:19:10.

funding to victims, we have been campaigning along with other

:19:11.:19:13.

organisations for women. It is no substitute to services for the

:19:14.:19:20.

victims. It is directed to the perpetrators as opposed to the

:19:21.:19:23.

victims? There is additional money going into support for the victims,

:19:24.:19:30.

so they will be offered support for longer than is currently the case.

:19:31.:19:34.

But, if we never address the perpetrator, you know, we are very

:19:35.:19:39.

fortunate in this partnership to be working with Respect, who are the

:19:40.:19:48.

experts in working with perpetrators. We do have to try some

:19:49.:19:57.

new and different ways of engaging with people. The ideas we have taken

:19:58.:20:06.

in Drive have gone from other groups of dangerous offenders who also

:20:07.:20:10.

don't want to play ball. We are taking ideas from other areas and

:20:11.:20:15.

applying it to this, but with the skill of the sector contributing.

:20:16.:20:20.

Thank you for coming on the programme. Rayna, you have been

:20:21.:20:24.

amazing. Thank you for being so honest. You are welcome. How are you

:20:25.:20:33.

now? I am fine, just a bit nervous. That is understandable.

:20:34.:20:45.

The number of people on the claimant count last month fell by 14,800 to

:20:46.:20:57.

760,000 say the office for National Statistics. Average earnings

:20:58.:21:02.

increased by 1.9% in the year to December, 0.2% down on the previous

:21:03.:21:07.

month. Average earnings are still going up, but at a slower rate.

:21:08.:21:11.

Unemployment continues to fall. We will talk to the relevant minister

:21:12.:21:15.

in the next half an hour. We'll be finding out why America's

:21:16.:21:26.

gun owners feel so strongly And we meet two women who have used

:21:27.:21:31.

illegal skin-whitening creams with very different results -

:21:32.:21:35.

and ask them why they did it. David Cameron's preparing for his

:21:36.:21:38.

final push on his EU renegotiation. There's a crunch summit in Brussels

:21:39.:21:42.

tomorrow where he'll try to persuade other European leaders

:21:43.:21:45.

that his reforms are necessary. He is to share the text of a deal

:21:46.:21:56.

with his ministers, but it won't be made public. There are sticking

:21:57.:22:07.

points. Protests have held up development on a migrant camp on the

:22:08.:22:11.

island of Kos. The country has been criticised by the EU on the way it

:22:12.:22:17.

is handling the migrant crisis. As we have just been reporting...

:22:18.:22:20.

A new push to help women at risk of violent abuse by their partners.

:22:21.:22:23.

Violent men, or those who pose a risk of violence,

:22:24.:22:26.

will be given intensive support to change their ways.

:22:27.:22:28.

It's part of a new programme called Drive, which will be tested

:22:29.:22:31.

It's hoped it will change vulnerable women's lives.

:22:32.:22:37.

The Eagles of Death Metal, whose concert in Paris

:22:38.:22:40.

was interrupted last year by terrorists who went on to kill 89

:22:41.:22:43.

people in the Bataclan three months ago,

:22:44.:22:47.

return to play the gig they never finished.

:22:48.:22:57.

The frontman Jesse Hughes said he didn't want to let anyone down.

:22:58.:23:05.

Unemployment has fallen by 60,000. It currently stands at 1.69 million

:23:06.:23:10.

people. "Shocking" says a campaign group

:23:11.:23:13.

who looked at the sugar levels of hot drinks in popular

:23:14.:23:16.

high street cafes. Some have more than 20

:23:17.:23:18.

teaspoons of sugar in them. Starbucks was the worst offender,

:23:19.:23:20.

with 25 teaspoons in one of its hot Hugh has all the sport and news

:23:21.:23:24.

of a defeat for Chelsea in Paris. In football - the Champions League

:23:25.:23:36.

was back last night. The first English club to play

:23:37.:23:39.

:24:21.:24:23.

from Ronnie O'Sullivan, who has responded to all of those

:24:24.:24:27.

who called him disrespectful. That was after winning his second

:24:28.:24:29.

round match 4-0, in just 38 minutes. Clearly controversy doesn't

:24:30.:24:36.

throw him off his game. That and more coming

up just after 10:00. Tomorrow a big European summit takes

:24:42.:24:46.

place in which David Cameron hopes to get agreement on changes

:24:47.:24:49.

to the UKs relationship with Europe. The Prime Minister is seeking key

:24:50.:24:52.

changes on European integration, business competiveness,

:24:53.:24:55.

benefits restrictions An in-out referendum

:24:56.:24:58.

on whether the UK should remain within the EU will take place

:24:59.:25:09.

before the end of 2017. BUT how much does our

:25:10.:25:14.

membership of the EU cost - Our political guru, Norman Smith has

:25:15.:25:37.

been sorting out the facts from the fiction.

:25:38.:25:40.

It's what often shapes the way we vote, so are we quids in or do

:25:41.:25:45.

Here is my take on the euro fact and euro fiction when it comes

:25:46.:25:50.

Last year, the great British tax player handed over more than ?19

:25:51.:25:57.

Last year, the great British tax payer handed over more than ?19

:25:58.:26:00.

We got back 10 billion in the form of

:26:01.:26:04.

grants, farming subsidies and a cashback deal negotiated

:26:05.:26:06.

So overall, last year, the EU cost the British taxpayer

:26:07.:26:14.

That is a Euro fact, and that sum has doubled

:26:15.:26:20.

It looks to stay at that new higher level for

:26:21.:26:29.

Now, in Wales and Northern Ireland, people get more money back

:26:30.:26:41.

And it is the same story in poorer parts of the country.

:26:42.:26:46.

The EU has helped foot the bill for the roll-out of superfast

:26:47.:26:52.

broadband, business centres and a revamped airport,

:26:53.:26:56.

and an awful lot of road improvements.

:26:57.:26:58.

Euro fact - poorer parts of the UK do better

:26:59.:27:01.

Would we have oodles more cash to spend, spend,

:27:02.:27:08.

Because the money we would save amounts to just 1%

:27:09.:27:20.

If you got your euro billions back then the equivalent in terms

:27:21.:27:35.

of your weekly shop would be just enough for an extra ten cans

:27:36.:27:43.

of your weekly shop would be just enough for an extra tin cans

:27:44.:27:46.

Well, in fact, it is not peanuts because the equivalent money

:27:47.:27:53.

would not even buy you a bag of peanuts.

:27:54.:27:55.

There is also an awful lot of euro fog around when it comes

:27:56.:27:58.

Campaigners who want us to stay say every household

:27:59.:28:02.

is ?3,000 a year better off in because of foreign investment

:28:03.:28:04.

in the UK and access to Europe's single

:28:05.:28:06.

Campaigners who want us to leave say each household would be

:28:07.:28:10.

?1,000 a year better off out because we could get rid

:28:11.:28:12.

Working out whether we are better off in or

:28:13.:28:23.

out all depends on how you do the sums and who you ask,

:28:24.:28:26.

It is a right old political peasouper.

:28:27.:28:35.

So, can anyone prove definitively whether we are better off in or out?

:28:36.:28:39.

Will the row over the numbers run on?

:28:40.:28:46.

We'll have another film from Norman - looking at fact or fiction when it

:28:47.:28:58.

comes to red tape and the EU - on the programme tomorrow,

:28:59.:29:03.

and you can catch up on his first film, which looks at Britain

:29:04.:29:06.

and immigration, at bbc.co.uk/victoria.

:29:07.:29:17.

He is at Downing Street now, something happening? Boris Johnson

:29:18.:29:26.

walking into Downing Street after the Prime Minister told him, come

:29:27.:29:30.

over here because I need to talk to about that EU deal and the package

:29:31.:29:35.

I'm trying to put together. We saw Philip Hammond going in as well. Mr

:29:36.:29:39.

Cameron and his advisers are getting Boris Johnson in the room and saying

:29:40.:29:42.

to him, this is what we have got, what are you going to do? He has

:29:43.:29:50.

been sitting on the fence. Spoke to Boris Johnson and spoke to some of

:29:51.:29:54.

his people this morning. What I understand is, even after he has

:29:55.:29:58.

been given a grilling by Mr Cameron and his aides, he still isn't going

:29:59.:30:03.

to tell us what he has decided. He is going to hold on until Mr Cameron

:30:04.:30:08.

comes back from Brussels. And only then, so presumably on Friday night,

:30:09.:30:13.

will he actually tell us what he is going to do. Those close to him say

:30:14.:30:18.

he genuinely has not yet made up his mind. Genuinely, they said. When I

:30:19.:30:26.

say to them, it is all about his leadership, he is positioning

:30:27.:30:29.

himself to be the next Tory leader? They insist not. I say it is all

:30:30.:30:36.

about written's plays in Europe. The key thing is this, it underlines how

:30:37.:30:41.

important Boris Johnson is to Mr Cameron being able to sell best

:30:42.:30:45.

deal. What he does not want is on Friday night, if Mr Cameron gets

:30:46.:30:51.

this deal for Boris Johnson to come out and say, it's not good enough, I

:30:52.:30:55.

am not going to back it, I am going to campaign to leave. And all hell

:30:56.:31:00.

breaks loose, because you have a serious big beast ready to take on

:31:01.:31:03.

Mr Cameron over the deal. That is what may be ahead. Very interesting.

:31:04.:31:09.

We'll be finding out why America's gun owners feel so strongly

:31:10.:31:18.

about their right to carry firearms.

:31:19.:31:28.

Employment is up again. Give us the figures. They paint a robust view of

:31:29.:31:40.

our Labour market. Unemployment rate, 5.1%, the lowest since 2006.

:31:41.:31:48.

The jobless total fell by 60,000 to 1.69 million. The number of people

:31:49.:31:53.

in work is at 31.4 million. Robust Labour market. Concerns over the

:31:54.:32:00.

economy but the workforce is fine. We are interested in the impact on

:32:01.:32:03.

pay because you would imagine if you have a tightening Labour market, you

:32:04.:32:11.

would expect a to be pressured and be rising. Regular pay was 2%, which

:32:12.:32:17.

is down slightly, and pay including bonuses was down slightly. This is

:32:18.:32:23.

the big conundrum going on in the Labour market at the moment. It is

:32:24.:32:27.

very strong and you would expect that to mean it as cover for

:32:28.:32:29.

employees to get the right people and you would expect that to mean

:32:30.:32:33.

you would have to pay more to get the people and yet pay growth

:32:34.:32:37.

remains subdued at the moment. Give me the figure again, I am writing

:32:38.:32:44.

them down. Regular pay was running at around 2%, down 0.2%. Pay

:32:45.:32:52.

including bonuses, 1.9%. To-macro other important figures today.

:32:53.:32:59.

Firstly, public sector employment has fallen to the lowest level on

:33:00.:33:08.

record since 1999 at 5.35 million. Not a huge surprise given the cuts

:33:09.:33:14.

gone on on spending and the impacts on local councils. Finally, there is

:33:15.:33:18.

always a big debate about what impact the growth of migrant workers

:33:19.:33:23.

is having on our Labour market. The bold figures they have given us are

:33:24.:33:29.

that in the past year the increase in employment was 532,000. For

:33:30.:33:40.

migrant workers? Know, in general. The increase in non-UK nationals in

:33:41.:33:47.

employment was 250 4000. In the first year? Yes. -- 250 4000. To be

:33:48.:33:55.

clear, you cannot say that half of the new jobs went to non-UK

:33:56.:33:59.

migrants, it is much more complex than that but those are the rigours

:34:00.:34:03.

that we were given this morning. Good news for employment again. Yes,

:34:04.:34:07.

and Pensions Minister - Good news for employment again. Yes,

:34:08.:34:18.

record numbers now in work, we are delivering on our pledge to have

:34:19.:34:22.

growing numbers with the security of a pay packet and rising wages, and

:34:23.:34:27.

we are seeing growth across the economy. Record numbers of people

:34:28.:34:33.

aged 50 to 64 in work, and with young people the unemployment rate

:34:34.:34:39.

is lowest a decade. 86% of young people are either in full-time

:34:40.:34:42.

education or full-time work. Very good news today. What do you think

:34:43.:34:48.

about pay, though? It is not where it should be, is it? I challenge

:34:49.:34:55.

that. We have had 15 months of wages outstripping inflation by some way.

:34:56.:35:00.

1.9% this month compared to almost zero inflation. We have the national

:35:01.:35:04.

living wage coming in in April which will directly benefit 2.6 million

:35:05.:35:10.

and indirectly 6 million. For those with the national living wage, they

:35:11.:35:13.

are looking at a 40% H The Truth About The Harry Quebere Affair pay

:35:14.:35:14.

rise over the next five it is about 2.5 million people who

:35:15.:35:27.

do not pay income tax. Inflation is so low. Average wages are above that

:35:28.:35:31.

inflation is so low. Average wages have gone up but the rate is slowing

:35:32.:35:38.

and that does not make sense when unemployment is coming down. What is

:35:39.:35:43.

going on? 15 months, a good friend, the gap is widening and we wanted to

:35:44.:35:48.

continue. The key indicator is that we have 776 thousand vacancies, a

:35:49.:35:54.

record number. The supply and demand economics will suggest that

:35:55.:35:57.

continues to go up. The national living wage will filter through to 6

:35:58.:36:02.

million people and that will continue to push that. Whilst wages

:36:03.:36:06.

are higher than inflation, that means more money in people's pocket.

:36:07.:36:13.

Why do you think there is this anomaly? You have got an economy

:36:14.:36:17.

that has low inflation, there will be it's going there, but as long as

:36:18.:36:21.

it is ahead of inflation and there is more money in pockets, it is the

:36:22.:36:27.

trend. 15 consecutive months, there is nothing to suggest it will flip a

:36:28.:36:31.

separate way, particularly given the national living wage and record

:36:32.:36:34.

numbers of vacancies, meaning supply and demand means wages outstrip

:36:35.:36:43.

inflation, leaving more money in people's pocket. You have not

:36:44.:36:46.

answered the question, I will move on. The national living wage, when

:36:47.:36:50.

that comes in, and one says it will attract more EU members. We other

:36:57.:37:02.

2010, Emily and you came nationals have gone into work. -- since 2010,

:37:03.:37:10.

EU nationals. We are creating 1000 jobs a day, we are the envy of

:37:11.:37:14.

Europe. Sometimes visitors will have to look whether our skills

:37:15.:37:19.

shortages. In the long term, we have reformed the education system, we

:37:20.:37:24.

are delivering university technical colleges, we have the pledge to

:37:25.:37:27.

deliver 3 million apprenticeships are 2020, so we are skinning up the

:37:28.:37:31.

next generation of workers to directly benefit growth in the

:37:32.:37:35.

economy. When it is brought in, do you accept it will attract more EU

:37:36.:37:40.

workers to the UK? It benefits all hard-working people... This question

:37:41.:37:45.

is about EU workers. When the national living wage is brought in

:37:46.:37:51.

Will it attracts, in your view, more EU workers to Britain? It will

:37:52.:37:57.

attract as many vacancies at our available, whether our skill

:37:58.:38:02.

shortages. By reforming our education system, by supporting

those already in Europe, -- work, particularly with the introduction

:38:08.:38:10.

of Universal Credit, with a named coach, giving opportunities to

:38:11.:38:14.

anything from additional childcare and training, that UK nationals have

:38:15.:38:18.

that opportunity to take advantage of that growing economy. We are the

:38:19.:38:24.

envy of Europe, the jobs factory of Europe, we are creating 1000 jobs a

:38:25.:38:29.

day right across all sectors in the economy. A balanced and sustainable

:38:30.:38:33.

recovery and that is something as a government we are proud to do. I

:38:34.:38:38.

need to ask you about EU negotiations because it is the big

:38:39.:38:40.

story of the weak politically and for many voting in the referendum.

:38:41.:38:46.

24 hours before the summit begins, sticking point is child benefit. If

:38:47.:38:50.

the government going to be prepared to accept those planned curbs on

:38:51.:39:01.

child benefit -- benefits? I think it will be a long 24 hours, we will

:39:02.:39:07.

have to see what comes forward. The Prime Minister is extremely good at

:39:08.:39:10.

these negotiations, he is well respected comic he has shown he will

:39:11.:39:14.

always put our economic security is. We are making it clear that we want

:39:15.:39:19.

to keep the pound, we are against ever closer EU integration. I know

:39:20.:39:30.

but I asked specifically about child benefit and whether the government

:39:31.:39:33.

would concede and say, we agree, it is only for new arrivals, this

:39:34.:39:38.

reduction in child benefits, which would mean it affects current

:39:39.:39:42.

applicants. The prior minister has been clear in our demands. Some

:39:43.:39:48.

people say these negotiations would be easy. -- Prime Minister. Clearly

:39:49.:39:52.

not, there is opposition from a number of countries where they have

:39:53.:39:56.

claimants coming in. The cost is actually around ?55 million. It is

:39:57.:40:00.

more to do with the frustrations that the British public have with

:40:01.:40:05.

the EU. The European Union has an opportunity to respond over the next

:40:06.:40:10.

24 hours and I am sure more negotiations will occur. The Prime

:40:11.:40:13.

Minister is well respected and is good at these negotiations but

:40:14.:40:17.

ultimately it will be the British public who cast judgment, not you or

:40:18.:40:21.

me. We will have the same boat. We are the only government to trusted

:40:22.:40:27.

the British public. I remember when Labour blocked the people having the

:40:28.:40:32.

safe. We trust the public, negotiations are coming to an end,

:40:33.:40:36.

we will have a clearer picture. Thank you.

:40:37.:40:38.

Some well-known coffee chains are selling hot drinks containing 20

:40:39.:40:49.

spoons of sugar, we will get the worst offenders. It is nearly 10am.

:40:50.:40:54.

Time flies when you are having fun. Here is the weather. The weather has

:40:55.:41:00.

been topsy-turvy over the last few weeks. We have not had proper winter

:41:01.:41:05.

weather is Dutch. We are not alone. I will take you around the

:41:06.:41:09.

Mediterranean. In Madrid, the temperature was 9 degrees Celsius

:41:10.:41:14.

yesterday. The average is 12 and it is to do with the jet stream. The

:41:15.:41:18.

reason we have had clement conditions of late is because of the

:41:19.:41:23.

jet stream which has grown these pressures across the Mediterranean.

:41:24.:41:26.

You can see the undulation is here. The blue represents the colder air.

:41:27.:41:33.

We have a milder warmer conditions. The temperature in Crete, 28

:41:34.:41:38.

Celsius. It should normally be about 16 in February. Lovely. Not just

:41:39.:41:46.

Crete but Cyprus as well, parts of the Balkans. Very nice if you are

:41:47.:41:49.

picking the late holiday. It is half term. Very nice. Do know 16 years?

:41:50.:42:01.

61. Will remember that. In our country we have

:42:02.:42:02.

61. Will remember that. In our been chilly oblate but today,

:42:03.:42:09.

nowhere near as Chile. -- of late. All this blue air is pumping in bed

:42:10.:42:17.

if I stand back, you can see more mild air coming our way, so the

:42:18.:42:21.

topsy-turvy team continues. For some of us, it was a beautiful start to

:42:22.:42:25.

the day with a lovely sunrise like this, across central and

:42:26.:42:32.

southeastern England. Cardiff Simon sent a picture yesterday! A suburb

:42:33.:42:39.

photographer. You have a fabulous memory. -- suburb. In

:42:40.:42:43.

Clackmannanshire, fabulous weather. Lying whether in Northern Ireland

:42:44.:42:50.

and Scotland. A whole bands of rain and sleet is moving southward. If

:42:51.:42:53.

you like snow at lower levels, you might be lucky but it is a

:42:54.:42:58.

you like snow at lower levels, you might. Let's talk about the reason

:42:59.:43:00.

why. A weather front which is going to continue to push south these

:43:01.:43:07.

words. That has brought us all that rain, sleet and snow through the

:43:08.:43:11.

night. As it continues descending, it will brighten behind it. We have

:43:12.:43:15.

seen quite a bit of rain this morning. If you are travelling, bear

:43:16.:43:20.

it in mind. Surface water on the roads. In the Highlands, the

:43:21.:43:25.

Grampians, the central lowlands and the uplands. Any snow left across

:43:26.:43:30.

the Pennines will be above 300 metres or so. Through the course of

:43:31.:43:34.

the day, that will sink southwards. Some will be heavy. We could see a

:43:35.:43:41.

wintry flavour across Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire. A lower

:43:42.:43:46.

levels, some sleep. For Northern Ireland, after a wet dart, it is a

:43:47.:43:53.

beautiful afternoon. Bright spells or sunny spells. -- sleet. Across

:43:54.:44:01.

Scotland, a similar scenario. It will feel cold, in Edinburgh the

:44:02.:44:04.

maximum temperature is only four. Across northern England, brightening

:44:05.:44:09.

up. We see the rain, sleet and snow push down across the Midlands,

:44:10.:44:13.

edging into Cambridge. For the South East of England we hang on to the

:44:14.:44:18.

brighter skies the longest. Into the Midlands, down towards the Isle of

:44:19.:44:23.

Wight and into Somerset and Dorset, and also parts of Devon, we have the

:44:24.:44:28.

rain clearing up from Cornwall. It continues to pull away from Wales,

:44:29.:44:32.

moving eastwards. Through this evening and overnight, the

:44:33.:44:37.

temperature will drop. As the system continues moving southwards and

:44:38.:44:40.

eastwards, it will be mostly rain and that is what most of us will see

:44:41.:44:44.

but there will be snow largely on the hills. We could see wet snow in

:44:45.:44:48.

some places first thing in the morning lying on lower levels. The

:44:49.:44:53.

other scenario is that if we do have some heavy bursts, more of us could

:44:54.:44:57.

see some snow, but we think the first scenario is more likely.

:44:58.:45:02.

Behind that, clearer skies, widespread frost, the risk of ice,

:45:03.:45:07.

and still wintry showers continue in the north and west. Through

:45:08.:45:13.

tomorrow, slowly that band of rain, sleet and snow moves away. The sleet

:45:14.:45:18.

and snow in it becomes less of an issue as temperatures rise and then

:45:19.:45:21.

much day tomorrow than today for the bulk of the UK. Wintry showers Papa

:45:22.:45:26.

north-west Scotland and Northern Ireland. Tomorrow, we have a risk of

:45:27.:45:33.

thunder and hail. -- pepper. It turns milder this weekend.

:45:34.:45:43.

Can people who beat up and abuse their partners

:45:44.:45:47.

One charity working with offenders tells us about its approach.

:45:48.:45:52.

And, a woman who was repeatedly attacked by her ex-boyfriend

:45:53.:45:56.

and eventually left for dead by him in an attack in a pub car park.

:45:57.:46:02.

He just kept kicking me, kicking me and punching me. When I was

:46:03.:46:10.

unconscious, he was picking me up by my hair and drag me to a set of pins

:46:11.:46:16.

where he dropped me again and stood all over my body. Stewart says, what

:46:17.:46:25.

a strong and brave woman, well done. Somebody else has said, she is a

:46:26.:46:27.

brave and intelligent woman. A couple from Leeds who dramatically

:46:28.:46:30.

escaped gunmen at the Bataclan in Paris tell us why they felt

:46:31.:46:32.

compelled to return last night to the capital to watch

:46:33.:46:35.

the Eagles of Death Metal Just feel really, really fortunate.

:46:36.:46:47.

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink believes his team still

:49:26.:49:28.

have a 50-50 chance to make it through to the quarter-finals

:49:29.:49:31.

That's despite suffering a 2-1 defeat to Paris St Germain

:49:32.:49:35.

in the first leg of their round of 16 tie in the French

:49:36.:49:38.

Well it was PSG who went ahead through Zlatan Ibrahimovic's

:49:39.:49:44.

deflected free-kick, but that lead lasted just a few

:49:45.:49:46.

John Mikel Obi took advantage of some poor defending

:49:47.:49:51.

to bring Chelsea deservedly level on the stroke of half-time.

:49:52.:49:56.

But Chelsea couldn't hold on, Edison Cavani's late goal means PSG

:49:57.:49:59.

will arrive in London in three weeks time with a one-goal advantage.

:50:00.:50:09.

Defeat is never a good feeling, but you have to consider it is a two leg

Illegal skin-whitening creams are being sold by high street

:53:56.:53:58.

cosmetic shops despite repeated prosecution -

:53:59.:54:01.

Products containing hydroquinone - a skin lightener which can damage

:54:02.:54:09.

the liver and nervous system - are readily available,

:54:10.:54:13.

leaving consumers unaware of the dangers they

:54:14.:54:14.

In London, trading standard departments say they're trying

:54:15.:54:19.

to crack down on the practice but admit it's becoming increasingly

:54:20.:54:22.

BBC London reporter Tarah Welsh has been finding out more.

:54:23.:54:30.

Irene has had a successful modelling career with dark skin but in recent

:54:31.:54:33.

She is originally from Cameroon where creams containing skin

:54:34.:54:38.

Growing up, you see your aunties, your mum, putting something

:54:39.:54:44.

with the cream to make her complexion.

:54:45.:54:49.

She has used creams containing hydroquinone, and you can see

:54:50.:54:52.

from the change how powerful the chemical is.

:54:53.:54:57.

Irene says her chemicals were prescribed by a doctor

:54:58.:55:00.

but all over London people are buying the substance

:55:01.:55:02.

from illicit dealers and putting their health

:55:03.:55:04.

It can damage the liver and nervous system as well as causing skin

:55:05.:55:10.

Sarah was just 14 when she started lightening her skin.

:55:11.:55:16.

My skin became patchy, very uneven, which then caused problems for me

:55:17.:55:19.

because I didn't know how to balance it out,

:55:20.:55:22.

so I would continue to put more in a darker area and it became very

:55:23.:55:26.

That is why it is illegal to sell cosmetics containing this

:55:27.:55:38.

This is some of what has been seized from shop shelves

:55:39.:55:45.

The product is labelled with hydroquinone,

:55:46.:55:49.

and that is a banned ingredient, and throughout Europe it has been

:55:50.:55:53.

banned since 2001, and retailers are under obligation

:55:54.:55:55.

to check their products and ingredients list

:55:56.:55:58.

and if they check it they will see it contains an ingredient

:55:59.:56:00.

In Southwark, we have done test purchases,

:56:01.:56:06.

and in 50% of shops they are willing to sell it if pushed.

:56:07.:56:11.

Half of people selling products in Southwark are selling this stuff?

:56:12.:56:14.

Well, in certain areas, the problem is quite severe.

:56:15.:56:19.

We were tipped off by shops that have broken the law again and again,

:56:20.:56:23.

and at this shop in Peckham, our undercover researcher asked

:56:24.:56:27.

for a cream that contains hydroquinone as an ingredient.

:56:28.:56:30.

It is not on display and comes from under the counter and we ask

:56:31.:56:48.

But the businessman has the solution.

:56:49.:57:12.

He will rip the shop's name and address off.

:57:13.:57:16.

He has already been fined for selling lightening creams

:57:17.:57:20.

He is also awaiting sentencing for selling cream whitening creams

:57:21.:57:27.

Here it is, an illegal green whitening cream manufactured

:57:28.:57:37.

In Dalston, what we find is more worrying.

:57:38.:57:49.

He is telling us that the chemical hydroquinone is in these products

:57:50.:57:52.

but is not listed on the ingredients.

:57:53.:57:55.

Remember, it has been banned by the EU since 2001.

:57:56.:58:01.

Lab tests reveal the presence of hydroquinone in three of the four

:58:02.:58:09.

creams sold by the outlets, and one of them is twice as powerful

:58:10.:58:12.

as those that are prebscribed by a doctor in the UK.

:58:13.:58:18.

It did not take us long to get our hands on all of this

:58:19.:58:21.

and what is really scary is that some of these creams do not actually

:58:22.:58:25.

list the banned ingredients in them so people can pick them up off

:58:26.:58:28.

the shelves, not knowing that they can be potentially harmful.

:58:29.:58:30.

If you were liberally applying these creams you don't know how much

:58:31.:58:34.

of the chemicals are contained in them, it could be dangerous

:58:35.:58:40.

So what does the repeat offender have to say for himself?

:58:41.:58:51.

The shops have been illegally selling skin whitening cream

:58:52.:58:54.

containing the chemical hydroquinone, do you have any

:58:55.:58:56.

This cream can cause real harm to the public.

:58:57.:59:00.

You have been prosecuted numerous times for selling this,

:59:01.:59:05.

You know what I'm talking about, the screen whitening cream

:59:06.:59:18.

containing hydroquinone that you have been selling repeatedly?

:59:19.:59:20.

Thousands of the illegal skin whitening creams have been seized

:59:21.:59:28.

by Trading Standards and major shipments seized at our ports

:59:29.:59:30.

but despite heavy fines, shops like these just

:59:31.:59:32.

It begs the question - when even the courts do not act

:59:33.:59:38.

as a deterrent, what can be done to keep dangerous cosmetics

:59:39.:59:41.

So why do people using skin whitening creams?

:59:42.:59:47.

Let's talk now to Saira Oladokun - who's skin was burnt

:59:48.:59:50.

And Irene Major frequently uses them.

:59:51.:00:00.

Welcome. Thank you for coming on the programme. Sarah, you were buying

:00:01.:00:09.

skin whitening products at the age of 14, tell us why. I was pretty

:00:10.:00:15.

insecure in my skin, I felt that being lighter meant you were more

:00:16.:00:21.

beautiful. I did not feel comfortable in my skin so I decided

:00:22.:00:26.

to lighten it. What kind of creams without naming names? I started

:00:27.:00:33.

using lemons, that is a cheaper alternative is a teenager. I then

:00:34.:00:39.

used toning lotions and creams. What's different is that it make to

:00:40.:00:44.

your skin is Mark my skin got patchy and started to burn in certain

:00:45.:00:49.

areas. It reached a level of sensitivity I thought it would never

:00:50.:00:54.

get to. OK, I think we have some picked his way you can see the burn

:00:55.:00:58.

marks if you like at the top of your forehead. Either side of your

:00:59.:01:03.

forehead. Around the temple. How painful was it? It really hurt, it

:01:04.:01:09.

was stinging, and even though it was, I would continue to put it on

:01:10.:01:14.

my skin. Before that stage, were you pleased with the results? It gave me

:01:15.:01:19.

a slight boost in confidence which was interesting, and I was pleased

:01:20.:01:23.

with some of the results I was seeing but when I saw the side

:01:24.:01:26.

effects, that is when I questioned whether I am doing the right thing.

:01:27.:01:31.

How much lighter was your skin? This is your natural colour. Three or

:01:32.:01:37.

four shades lighter. People definitely did notice but did not

:01:38.:01:42.

assembly say anything to me. My family members and close relatives

:01:43.:01:48.

noticed a change colour. In a positive way? I think they were

:01:49.:01:52.

confused. I was brought up to love myself and have not received harsh

:01:53.:01:57.

comments about my skin and I was pretty confident as a person so they

:01:58.:02:00.

were waiting for me to give a reason why I was giving such lotions on my

:02:01.:02:06.

face. Lorraine, why few regular use skin whitening products? I use it to

:02:07.:02:13.

even out my skin tone. I mean, is a black person, whatever is under the

:02:14.:02:22.

sun will get darker. That is what I do. Everybody does it. The cream I

:02:23.:02:31.

am using is there for everyone. The issue in this whole thing is that

:02:32.:02:35.

you were using it at 14 and did not know the ingredients, all you knew

:02:36.:02:39.

was you would get lighter. We kind of ignore it in a way. If we educate

:02:40.:02:43.

youngsters throughout this whole thing it would be better. We have

:02:44.:02:49.

shown our audience pictures of you before and after and there was a

:02:50.:02:51.

difference in colour, that is not just about even in the town. I was

:02:52.:03:00.

wearing make up as well. -- even in the tone. You look like a white

:03:01.:03:07.

person. Do I? You can see that yourself and stop the make up was

:03:08.:03:11.

much lighter. The darker the better when I used to model. Even Naomi

:03:12.:03:16.

Campbell... Everybody went through UV treatment. I actually went under

:03:17.:03:23.

the sun and had a darker option because it was better if you are

:03:24.:03:27.

doing a bikini shoot. You need to look the part all the way round. All

:03:28.:03:33.

of these things are dangerous to us, they all kill and have an effect. I

:03:34.:03:37.

am certain of that. I am against under the counter products but I

:03:38.:03:42.

wish we all knew what we are putting ourselves through. What reaction

:03:43.:03:47.

have you had an black people to the fact you have used such products?

:03:48.:03:56.

Very bad, very bad. I could have thrown myself under a bus. Everybody

:03:57.:04:01.

will do something to even out their skin, they call it toning. Why do

:04:02.:04:06.

you get such a bad reaction? It is terrible, you do not talk about it.

:04:07.:04:15.

Western people can go under the sun and get sunburn. Everybody goes and

:04:16.:04:22.

buys it. People think it is some kind of portrayal of your heritage?

:04:23.:04:28.

You tell me stop my husband is Canadian, he is white, I have five

:04:29.:04:35.

children. Somehow I have been brainwashed by westernisation.

:04:36.:04:40.

People reminding of slavery 400 years ago and tell me I'm becomings

:04:41.:04:44.

trying to become white. It is a taboo thing. We have too many

:04:45.:04:51.

hang-ups, and I wish my community could wake up a bit more. I am here

:04:52.:04:57.

for the freedom of choice, freedom of speech. I'm here for my daughter

:04:58.:05:01.

to say, when you grow up, stand for yourself. Make your own choices.

:05:02.:05:11.

This tweet, if we did not have such a white beauty industry, this would

:05:12.:05:15.

not be a problem. I agree and disagree. I was a successful model,

:05:16.:05:26.

very dark, so I never did that then. I do not look at what other people

:05:27.:05:31.

are doing. I mean, the dress you are wearing, we change our looks to what

:05:32.:05:35.

we like to see. For me, this is part of it all and I love seeing what I

:05:36.:05:40.

look like. You talked about your family's reaction and nobody said

:05:41.:05:45.

anything to stop you are a confident person, why are you lightening your

:05:46.:05:48.

skin is Mark I don't want to put words in your mouth but using people

:05:49.:05:51.

were thinking, I know your parents are from Nigeria, why do not want to

:05:52.:06:00.

look like a Nigerian? I did not bleach to be light skin, I just

:06:01.:06:03.

wanted to be a lighter shade of round. Having Nigerian parents, I

:06:04.:06:08.

was brought up to love myself regardless. I would definitely say

:06:09.:06:15.

it is to do with the industry. If I were to go into Boots or Superdrug,

:06:16.:06:27.

I would look at the foundation rage, and I was growing young girl and

:06:28.:06:30.

wanted to buy something to make myself more confident or feel

:06:31.:06:33.

prettier, I would expect to kind of see my shades in a shop. You can get

:06:34.:06:40.

all that online. You need to see it in a High Street shop quest might

:06:41.:06:45.

know, but at the end of the day, the type of country we are in, there are

:06:46.:06:49.

a range of different skin colours, ethnicities, people from different

:06:50.:06:52.

cultures, so I feel like we should be provided with the products that

:06:53.:06:56.

other people are provided with, whether it be the High Street or

:06:57.:07:01.

online. You will never use skin lightening creams again? Never.

:07:02.:07:05.

Thank you very much. Some well-known coffee chains

are selling hot drinks containing We'll take a look at

the worst offenders. A couple from Leeds who dramatically

escaped gunmen at the Bataclan in Paris tell us why they felt

compelled to return last night to watch the Eagles of Death Metal

in terms of getting back Last night, there was still a fair

amount of trepidation going there. There was an awful lot

of security, which was There was armed guards

outside the venue. Once you were inside,

the atmosphere was really good and everyone was there

to have a good time. After a while it was almost

making sure where exits Something we never

:10:05.:10:09.

thought of before. We didn't relax as much

as we would at some gigs. But it was a good gig

and it was good to Kind of finish what

we started, really. If the band could come back

and play, we could go back It kind of felt like

something we had to do. I think we're both

:10:47.:10:48.

have some respect for people. We were lucky. There were a lot of

:10:49.:11:10.

people at the Bataclan. It was a moment of silence and reflection to

:11:11.:11:16.

all the families and people who lost their lives. One or two people

:11:17.:11:20.

shouted out which they should not have done. We spoke to you several

:11:21.:11:26.

days after the attack last time, and I want to play a little of what you

:11:27.:11:32.

said back then. Here it is. We go to a lot of gigs, we met at a rock

:11:33.:11:42.

concert, and we more often than not go down the front, on the floor, but

:11:43.:11:46.

we got there late, it was sold out and there were a lot of people so we

:11:47.:11:52.

went to the back to get a good view. These little decisions which seemed

:11:53.:11:58.

insignificant, they were the difference between life and death on

:11:59.:12:01.

Friday. When you heard the gunshots, what did you do this remark we

:12:02.:12:05.

thought it was part of the show. And then it became clear that that was

:12:06.:12:12.

gunfire, and it was like, get down, get down, and we felt to be floor.

:12:13.:12:17.

We felt the floor and hid behind the seeds and lay there for what felt

:12:18.:12:20.

like an eternity but it was about five minutes, and the shots kept

:12:21.:12:29.

coming, and the lights came on. There would be a few seconds silence

:12:30.:12:33.

and they were reloading and they kept going. I remember saying to

:12:34.:12:37.

Tony, we have got to get out because I just knew that they were just

:12:38.:12:41.

going round systematically shooting people and if we stayed there, all

:12:42.:12:45.

they needed to do was come up the stairs and we would be next. There

:12:46.:12:51.

was an exit behind us which led back to the main hall so we did not want

:12:52.:12:54.

to go that way, and then we saw there was an exit if we called

:12:55.:13:00.

towards the stage, at law there. We were crawling along behind the

:13:01.:13:06.

chairs on our bellies, shuffling along, but there were gaps between

:13:07.:13:11.

rows of seats which were exposed as we went through it. We assumed the

:13:12.:13:21.

gunmen were down on the floor but from reports they were on the

:13:22.:13:25.

balcony as well. There was that fear between having to get from where we

:13:26.:13:30.

were hiding to wear we were exposed to wear we were hidden again. Once

:13:31.:13:36.

you got through the door, then what? We got onto the roof. People were

:13:37.:13:46.

being ushered. There was a rooftop apartment, we were not exactly sure

:13:47.:13:50.

where it was, but we worked it out in retrospect, we were ushered up

:13:51.:13:56.

their, and somebody lived there, and it would getting people in through

:13:57.:14:05.

the window. He was welcome you in? Yes, that house, just the bravery,

:14:06.:14:12.

he could have just sat there with the lights down and hidden on the

:14:13.:14:15.

floor but he didn't come he was getting people in. -- he didn't, he

:14:16.:14:23.

was getting people in. I think the lights went off at one point and we

:14:24.:14:26.

were in darkness but we could still hear gunfire, and it was like bursts

:14:27.:14:34.

of gunfire and we still didn't know if we were safe. That was you to

:14:35.:14:40.

talking to us back in November, obviously. How do you both reflect

:14:41.:14:44.

now on what you experienced that night? I think we both just feel

:14:45.:14:51.

really, really fortunate, not just that we managed to get out but that

:14:52.:14:57.

we escaped the worst of the trauma by not being on the floor. You read

:14:58.:15:01.

the accounts of people who were down there, lying among the dead and

:15:02.:15:07.

dying. We got away lightly and we just feel really, really fortunate.

:15:08.:15:15.

The same for you Tony? Yes, exactly. We escaped pretty much unscathed.

:15:16.:15:21.

Physically, and for the most part emotionally, yes. There were people

:15:22.:15:33.

with horrific injuries. Part of our trip to Paris, we went to the

:15:34.:15:46.

Bataclan yesterday morning and late sunflowers down there. For us that

:15:47.:15:56.

was more traumatic than they did, really. -- summer flowers. We

:15:57.:16:02.

realised how close we were, we could see the window where we were hiding

:16:03.:16:05.

and we realised how close we were to it, really. When we were hiding, I

:16:06.:16:12.

kept saying, we are safe, we are safe, and you look and realise we

:16:13.:16:18.

weren't really. We do feel really, really fortunate and ever so

:16:19.:16:22.

grateful to everyone that night and since then, who have shown us love

:16:23.:16:24.

and compassion. I remember on the day you spoke to

:16:25.:16:34.

me in November, you talked a lot about you didn't want what happened

:16:35.:16:39.

in Paris to lead to more hatred, more revenge, if you like. We talked

:16:40.:16:44.

a lot of love and compassion. Has it been borne out in the months since,

:16:45.:16:51.

for you at least? Absolutely, we retraced our steps to where the

:16:52.:16:55.

police had led us to like a safe area and there had been... There was

:16:56.:17:00.

a little wine bar that stayed open and gave us cups of tea and coffee

:17:01.:17:05.

that night. We were able to go back and say thank you to the woman in

:17:06.:17:08.

there, which was really lovely. It was nice to to be able to say thank

:17:09.:17:13.

you to at least one of the people who helped us will stop how did you

:17:14.:17:19.

react? She was taken aback at first, but thank us for coming back to

:17:20.:17:26.

Paris. It was nice to say thank you to some of these people. A lot of

:17:27.:17:33.

people helped us that night. Just to say thank you to one of them was

:17:34.:17:40.

good for us. We really, really eight appreciated all those little

:17:41.:17:46.

gestures. There was more love on that evening and there was hatred.

:17:47.:17:52.

Without a doubt. Thank you for talking to us again on the

:17:53.:17:57.

programme. We appreciate you talking from Paris this morning. Thank you.

:17:58.:17:58.

Thank you. Why do American gun owners feel

:17:59.:18:04.

so strongly about their right We've been to meet some gun

:18:05.:18:07.

enthusiasts in Virginia. The haggling continues

:18:08.:18:15.

over EU reform. Boris Johnson, the London Mayor

:18:16.:18:20.

who could be a key player in the UK referendum, has arrived

:18:21.:18:23.

at Downing Street this morning Norman Smith is there. Did he say

:18:24.:18:34.

anything on the way out? The fact David Cameron had to summon him to

:18:35.:18:41.

Downing Street, it underlines how pivotal he may be if Mr Cameron is

:18:42.:18:45.

going to win this referendum. We note Doris Johnson has been sitting

:18:46.:18:50.

on the fence, not telling us what he is going to do. He came into Downing

:18:51.:18:55.

Street this morning. I understand the issue of concern in particular

:18:56.:19:00.

to him centres on the red card system, which is meant to give other

:19:01.:19:04.

countries the power to stop some EU laws. Not at all clear it convinced

:19:05.:19:12.

Doris Johnson. He was in with the Prime Minister for about 40 minutes.

:19:13.:19:17.

When he eventually emerged from the meeting after speaking to Mr Cameron

:19:18.:19:22.

and been shown the details of what Mr Cameron was proposing to do, he

:19:23.:19:26.

didn't say much. What he did say suggested he wanted more to be

:19:27.:19:30.

delivered by Mr Cameron. This is what he said. As the Prime Minister

:19:31.:19:37.

done enough to convince you? Are you satisfied? Is the deal good enough?

:19:38.:19:46.

I will be back. I will be back, no deal. I had a quick chat with him

:19:47.:19:55.

afterwards. My sense is, he will keep Mr Cameron waiting... And

:19:56.:20:01.

waiting, until he gets the deal. Once Mr Cameron comes back here,

:20:02.:20:05.

says what he is going to do, then and only then, I think Boris Johnson

:20:06.:20:14.

will say whether he is finally going back staying in or leave.

:20:15.:20:17.

Another drop in unemployment - it dropped by 60,000

:20:18.:20:20.

between October and December last year to the lowest for a decade.

:20:21.:20:23.

Average earnings, including bonuses, are up by 1.9%.

:20:24.:20:30.

Protests on the Greek island of Kos at the opening of a migrant camp

:20:31.:20:33.

But work on four other new Greek registration centres is completed.

:20:34.:20:38.

The country's been criticised by the EU for the way it's handled

:20:39.:20:41.

And 'shocking' that's the view of a campaign group who looked

:20:42.:20:50.

at the sugar levels of hot drinks in popular high street cafes.

:20:51.:20:55.

Some have more than 20 teaspoons of sugar in them.

:20:56.:20:57.

Starbucks was alleged to be the worst offender,

:20:58.:20:59.

with 25 teaspoons in one of its hot fruit drinks.

:21:00.:21:03.

Those are the headlines, here is the sport. This heading said his team's

:21:04.:21:17.

away goal against PSG could be pivotal. Manchester United fans are

:21:18.:21:24.

planning to protest about the ?71 they are being charged to watch the

:21:25.:21:31.

Europa League game tomorrow. The manager of Michael Schumacher says

:21:32.:21:34.

she hopes with continued support and patience, he will one day be back

:21:35.:21:41.

with us. He suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident two

:21:42.:21:46.

years ago. After causing controversy, Ronnie O'Sullivan was

:21:47.:21:48.

in stunning form winning four frames in 38 minutes to reach the third

:21:49.:21:55.

round of the Welsh open. That is all the sport, I will be back on BBC

:21:56.:21:56.

news throughout the day. America has a population

:21:57.:21:58.

of over 300 million - and around the same number of legal

:21:59.:22:06.

guns in the country. President Obama says the biggest

:22:07.:22:08.

regret of his presidency is his failure to secure

:22:09.:22:11.

effective gun laws. It's estimated that between a third

:22:12.:22:18.

and half of all Americans own a gun America has more guns per resident

:22:19.:22:21.

than any other country The latest figures show

:22:22.:22:25.

that so far in 2016 - 1,566 people have already been

:22:26.:22:31.

killed through gun violence That's 1,566 people killed

:22:32.:22:33.

with a gun in the last 48 days. Just last night Governor Jeb Bush -

:22:34.:22:49.

who's running for US president - tweeted a picture of a handgun

:22:50.:22:53.

inscribed with his name It was ridiculed by many on Twitter

:22:54.:22:55.

but many others agree So what explains America's

:22:56.:23:01.

relationship with guns? Why do gun owners feel so strongly

:23:02.:23:04.

about their right to carry firearms? Our reporter Thomas Martienssen has

:23:05.:23:07.

visited Richmond in Virginia, and the Florida Everglades

:23:08.:23:09.

to try to find out. I would like to say there

:23:10.:23:14.

was a method, but there really isn't, I see something I want,

:23:15.:23:17.

it is like women's shoes, I mean, I love it, I have held

:23:18.:23:20.

full-time jobs before and I loved working those jobs but my true

:23:21.:23:35.

passion is firearms and guns. This has been a project of mine

:23:36.:23:40.

for quite a long time. I know we shot these the other day

:23:41.:23:46.

at the shooting range but this one Even though it says it shoots

:23:47.:23:50.

single-shot bursts in full auto, this is strictly semi-auto,

:23:51.:23:58.

I'd don't own any fully automatic weapons, it is just too expensive

:23:59.:24:01.

for my college budget. This is a really fun rifle,

:24:02.:24:06.

the largest rifle I have ever owned, That is definitely

:24:07.:24:09.

really fun to shoot. This is something I picked

:24:10.:24:12.

up not too long ago. By the way, all these guns

:24:13.:24:16.

are registered in my name. I purchased them all through local

:24:17.:24:19.

places in town or online But this is the only gun that is not

:24:20.:24:21.

registered in my name because it was actually an heirloom

:24:22.:24:26.

from my grandfather who passed away I have decided to hold onto that,

:24:27.:24:29.

that would be something When I say just like the one

:24:30.:24:33.

I carried in the military, This is a regular MP5 SD

:24:34.:24:43.

without the supressor. That is another AR15

:24:44.:25:02.

with a suppressor on it. I didn't have one so I ran up

:25:03.:25:08.

to the Walmart and bought one. One of the things I like about them

:25:09.:25:18.

is the pure mechanical artistry If you have ever really taken

:25:19.:25:29.

the time to look at a semi-automatic rifle or semi-automatic pistol,

:25:30.:25:34.

or even a revolver and watch how all of the intricate parts

:25:35.:25:37.

work with each other, I'm going to get a few more guns

:25:38.:25:39.

as soon as I can think When you want to hit the bull's-eye,

:25:40.:25:47.

that is pretty impressive, I think there is a romantic part

:25:48.:25:51.

of it, the freedom, there is something that people say,

:25:52.:25:56.

free men hold weapons, slaves don't. This one is in 1822 Simian North,

:25:57.:26:08.

one of the first pistols and armaments that the United States

:26:09.:26:15.

government decided to manufacture. The DNA of the United States

:26:16.:26:18.

is formed on that independence and self-reliance, plus there

:26:19.:26:23.

are other things too. Unlike Europe, we have vast expanses

:26:24.:26:29.

of land, we don't have cities that We have people who have lived out

:26:30.:26:33.

in little towns that have never been to a big city like New York

:26:34.:26:39.

or Chicago, and in those areas, the rifle is something that is just

:26:40.:26:43.

a tool that you keep in the truck. I am in school right now,

:26:44.:26:54.

at Virginia Commonwealth University, I am just getting my business degree

:26:55.:26:57.

but I think I want to stay in the firearms industry

:26:58.:27:01.

because I think it is not going to be going anywhere soon,

:27:02.:27:04.

it is going to get bigger, Whether I stay here for a long time

:27:05.:27:06.

or move on, I definitely want to stay in the

:27:07.:27:14.

industry for sure. This is our wall right here,

:27:15.:27:17.

we have all different types of makes That is definitely a fun gun,

:27:18.:27:20.

it has the light on the end. Super iconic if you have grown up

:27:21.:27:27.

in the 80s and loved all types So down on this section,

:27:28.:27:30.

the retail side, we have personal defence rounds right here,

:27:31.:27:56.

we sell hallowed points If you want to purchase a gun,

:27:57.:27:58.

an assault weapon, the ATF classifies an assault weapon

:27:59.:28:06.

as a rifle that has a collapsible stock like this one does,

:28:07.:28:08.

a pistol grip, can take a detachable magazine, a flashlighter

:28:09.:28:11.

and a bayonet. This does not have a bayonet but it

:28:12.:28:22.

does have three out of the five criteria which is the ATF's

:28:23.:28:25.

specification for what an assault When you get an AR15 online

:28:26.:28:28.

you will need to bring Driver's license, a carrying permit,

:28:29.:28:35.

voter ID card, vehicle registration and then a third form is going to be

:28:36.:28:40.

something like proof of citizenship, As soon as we get that we go online

:28:41.:28:43.

to the Virginia State police background check system,

:28:44.:28:50.

and we enter that information. I will submit mine or somebody

:28:51.:28:55.

will submit it for me when I am It will usually come approved right

:28:56.:29:00.

away and then we print out the approval form and they pay

:29:01.:29:05.

the transfer fee, which is $28, and they can take their gun

:29:06.:29:08.

home with them. You can usually get it

:29:09.:29:12.

that day, depending. That is in the state of Virginia,

:29:13.:29:14.

each state is different. Some states, I think

:29:15.:29:17.

you might have a wait period, but in Virginia, you can usually

:29:18.:29:19.

leave that day with your weapon. We have been taught,

:29:20.:29:25.

you have a gun, you go hunt animals and you feed the family,

:29:26.:29:30.

and I think if that is taken away from us, as Americans,

:29:31.:29:34.

we lose that sense, because we have been raised to take care

:29:35.:29:36.

of our families. The feeling you get,

:29:37.:29:42.

you have empowered yourself, and especially for women

:29:43.:29:45.

that is really important for us, to feel we are empowered

:29:46.:29:48.

and can protect ourselves. We get to go outside,

:29:49.:29:51.

we get to go to places like this, and we get to fire,

:29:52.:29:54.

and you can practice it, You have got antique gun collectors

:29:55.:29:57.

that get all excited about these I think there is so much benefit

:29:58.:30:04.

there. A lot of people are

:30:05.:30:11.

missing out on it. I always thought about what I would

:30:12.:30:17.

do if I wasn't into guns. Probably maybe still music,

:30:18.:30:20.

maybe something else, but I'm really glad I found some

:30:21.:30:26.

sort of niche, and I fell in love with it so it is

:30:27.:30:30.

definitely really fun. They talk about the 34,000 people

:30:31.:30:42.

that die from gun violence. What you really need to do

:30:43.:30:45.

is deconstruct that number and when you look at it, 61%

:30:46.:30:47.

of those gun deaths were suicide. When somebody hangs themselves,

:30:48.:30:50.

would you consider When you look at that number

:30:51.:30:56.

and break it down even further you are going to see that people

:30:57.:31:02.

talk about accidents. When a toddler accidentally shoots

:31:03.:31:04.

somebody or a father accidentally shoots his son or husband

:31:05.:31:08.

accidentally shoots his wife because she is coming in late,

:31:09.:31:11.

that is about 600 deaths a year. Again, in a country of 300 million,

:31:12.:31:17.

each one is tragic, but does it take And if you want to share that film -

:31:18.:31:22.

or watch it again - When you're getting a hot drink

:31:23.:31:42.

from a well-known high street coffee shop chains do you worry about how

:31:43.:31:55.

much sugar they contain? Would you even be able to guess how

:31:56.:31:58.

much sugar is in them? Of course not if you're anything

:31:59.:32:01.

like me! Well, the campaign group Action

:32:02.:32:04.

on Sugar is warning some flavoured coffees and other hot drinks contain

:32:05.:32:10.

dangerously high levels - and one even contains

:32:11.:32:12.

25 teaspoons of sugar. They looked at 131 drinks from 9

:32:13.:32:14.

of the UK biggest chains. 98 percent would be given a red

:32:15.:32:20.

nutritional value level And one third had at least the same

:32:21.:32:23.

amount of sugar as Coke - Jennifer Rosborough

:32:24.:32:30.

is a nutritionist and campaign Just explain what the recommended

:32:31.:32:38.

daily limit for added sugar The maximum amount is seven

:32:39.:33:07.

teaspoons a day. And for children? Depending on the age, five or six

:33:08.:33:08.

teaspoons. So we've been out to buy some

:33:09.:33:11.

of the worse offenders this morning. This is a Starbucks large Grape

:33:12.:33:14.

with Chai, Orange and Can I pull this out onto our bar?

:33:15.:33:30.

Look at how much sugar that is. How do you react to that? I am shocked,

:33:31.:33:34.

we carried out a survey and I am really shocked, it is over three

:33:35.:33:38.

times the amount are maximum recommended intake. In one drink.

:33:39.:33:44.

That is the equivalent of a packet of chocolate digestives. For

:33:45.:33:52.

dramatic effect, I will get the whole lot out of the packet beakers

:33:53.:33:58.

you would probably not the whole packet of chocolate digestives in

:33:59.:34:03.

one go. But you would get through the drink quite easily. You would

:34:04.:34:12.

not eat that in one go. That is the worst offender.

:34:13.:34:16.

Starbucks told us they don't sell it anymore - although we managed

:34:17.:34:23.

to buy it this morning - and we couldn't find anymore

:34:24.:34:25.

nutritional information on their website.

:34:26.:34:27.

This is Costa's large eat-in Chai Latte -

:34:28.:34:34.

it's a mixture of black tea, aromatic spices and is served

:34:35.:34:36.

How many teaspoons of sugar in that? 20 teaspoons of sugar. Here we go.

:34:37.:34:54.

Much more than you would put in a cup of coffee if you put its -- made

:34:55.:35:03.

it at home. That is 667 calories and 18 grams of fat. Have you react to

:35:04.:35:08.

that? That is shopping as well. -- how do you. -- shopping.

:35:09.:35:20.

This is Caffe Nero's drink-in Caramelatte.

:35:21.:35:25.

On Nero's website this drink is described as 'pure indulgence' -

:35:26.:35:28.

it has a shot of vanilla syrup, steamed milk, and is topped

:35:29.:35:31.

with whipped cream and caramel sauce.

:35:32.:35:32.

How much sugar? 13 teaspoons. You would expect more sugar. But not 13.

:35:33.:35:42.

Twice the amount of your maximum daily intake. 485 calories and 25

:35:43.:35:55.

grams of fat. What is the problem? We don't drink these as treats. We

:35:56.:36:02.

go to coffee shops every morning before work, it is routine, it is

:36:03.:36:06.

habitual, and people are just not aware of the amount of sugar in them

:36:07.:36:10.

impaired to how much we should or shouldn't be having a day. What you

:36:11.:36:15.

want to see happen? We want people to be more informed and feel

:36:16.:36:21.

empowered to they make choices but that target a small amount of the

:36:22.:36:23.

population who look at the information and can interpret it so

:36:24.:36:28.

the population BLEEP was possibility is on the coffee chain manufacturers

:36:29.:36:31.

to reduce the amount of sugar because there is no reason why there

:36:32.:36:35.

should be 20 or 25 spoons of sugar in one drink alone. There is, it

:36:36.:36:41.

tastes really nice! That is because we have got used to that, everything

:36:42.:36:47.

is getting sweeter. Not everything. A lot of the drinks we looked at

:36:48.:36:51.

getting sweeter. If we gradually reduce them, then we do not notice

:36:52.:36:57.

the change so much. A gradual reduction will be the best approach.

:36:58.:37:04.

How much more sugar is there in this massive hot fruit drink compared to

:37:05.:37:08.

this? Three times the amount. A shocking amount of sugar in the

:37:09.:37:15.

cola. Nine teaspoons. There was just under three times the amount of

:37:16.:37:22.

sugar in that drink. Over three times the amount of sugar. I see

:37:23.:37:27.

what you mean. There is more sugar in that than that. That will be

:37:28.:37:32.

interesting to our audience because there is no way I realised that. Let

:37:33.:37:37.

me read comments from people. Deb says, the nanny state are out in

:37:38.:37:41.

force. If you are bothered, you would not drink it. I don't think

:37:42.:37:48.

people realise there was that dangerous high amount of sugar in

:37:49.:37:52.

these drinks. Why is it dangerous? We know that sugar contributes to

:37:53.:37:58.

weight gain, tooth decay, type two diabetes, so it does cause health

:37:59.:38:04.

problems and if we are not aware, we would carry on drinking. We have

:38:05.:38:09.

become accustomed to the sweet taste. They have grabbed good

:38:10.:38:14.

headlines with their 25 spoonfuls of sugar. This is in the Starbucks

:38:15.:38:29.

vente. It is a size was of course. How many do they sell a week? Do we

:38:30.:38:36.

know? It might be off their menu is a festive drink that you can still

:38:37.:38:40.

ask for that. Let's see what the various companies say. Starbucks

:38:41.:38:44.

told us: how do you react to that? They cooperate really well. They are

:38:45.:38:58.

looking to make changes but if we think about the amount of sugar in

:38:59.:39:02.

them, we just need more change than that. You mean, that is taking too

:39:03.:39:09.

long, or the 25% reduction by 2020 is not enough? We would like to see

:39:10.:39:17.

higher. 40%, 50%? 40% by 2020 would be realistic but it does take time

:39:18.:39:22.

for manufacturers to put it in place and reduce the amount of sugar.

:39:23.:39:24.

David Cameron is and reduce the amount of sugar.

:39:25.:39:29.

childhood obesity strategy any time now so we want these mandatory

:39:30.:39:33.

targets for sugar reduction in food and drink and be a part of that.

:39:34.:39:38.

Mandatory and not voluntary. The Starbucks statement goes on:

:39:39.:39:49.

We offer a wide variety of lighter options, sugar-free syrups

:39:50.:39:52.

and sugar-free natural sweetener and we display all nutritional

:39:53.:39:54.

yes, it is displayed in store but some people will be more

:39:55.:39:59.

health-conscious and read the information but they need to take

:40:00.:40:03.

responsibility as well, so selling cup sizes that big is unnecessary,

:40:04.:40:07.

go for smaller portions. Ban the large cuts? Get yes. No way! Take

:40:08.:40:13.

the trees away from the consumer? They do an extra large cup now so

:40:14.:40:18.

even if we went to a smaller drink, that would cut the sugar. But it is

:40:19.:40:25.

up to us! We want to see smaller amounts of portion sizes. Costa

:40:26.:40:46.

say... Is that enough for you? It is good they are moving in the right

:40:47.:40:49.

erection, that is why we do this kind of survey and that is what we

:40:50.:40:54.

ultimately want to see. We also approached Caffe Nero for a

:40:55.:40:56.

statement but they have not come back to us yet. Thank you very much

:40:57.:41:05.

for coming on the programme. We await David Cameron's childhood

obesity strategy which is due any time now, I think.

:41:09.:41:11.

Apple says it will challenge a court order to allow the FBI to break

:41:12.:41:14.

into an iPhone recovered from the man behind a mass shooting

:41:15.:41:17.

Our Technology Correspondent, Rory Cellen-Jones is here.

:41:18.:41:27.

Phil is in on the background and I will ask you why they are

:41:28.:41:35.

challenging this. There has been a long row between technology

:41:36.:41:37.

companies, phone companies in particular, and the police and

:41:38.:41:42.

security and intelligence agencies, about encryption, which is the way

:41:43.:41:46.

messages are effectively encoded, though it is more difficult for the

:41:47.:41:49.

police and security agencies to get at them, and it has come to a head

:41:50.:41:54.

with the San Bernardino case which the FBI is investigating. They have

:41:55.:42:01.

the iPhone that the shooter had and it wants to know more about what is

:42:02.:42:06.

on it but it is protected by Apple's security system. Apple has published

:42:07.:42:10.

an open letter to its customers and said, we have given all the data we

:42:11.:42:15.

have got, we have a certain amount of data, but on modern phones, we do

:42:16.:42:20.

not have a lot of the data, it is secured to the customer. Once the

:42:21.:42:25.

customer has bought the iPhone and installed the security system as it

:42:26.:42:29.

were, you cannot get at it and we are not prepared to do what the FBI

:42:30.:42:38.

is asking. Are we talking about more than the pin code or was it more? It

:42:39.:42:45.

is more than that. Tim Cook says in the letter that they have asked us

:42:46.:42:54.

to build a back door the iPhone. The FBI have asked Apple to build a

:42:55.:42:57.

whole new operating system for the phone which will somehow enable BS

:42:58.:43:01.

EIA to get in there and see what is going on. -- the FBI. Apple have

:43:02.:43:07.

said it is a step too far. The big row is that more and more phones

:43:08.:43:12.

have an end to end encryption. The data is private between you and me

:43:13.:43:17.

and even Apple cannot find out what message we sent to each other. The

:43:18.:43:21.

online community, whose side are they on? The online the, the people

:43:22.:43:31.

who are keen on security, are on Apple's side. I have had a lot of

:43:32.:43:35.

messages this morning, most of them supporting Apple, but a couple of

:43:36.:43:39.

them may be taking the more common view. This is a criminal, you have

:43:40.:43:44.

got to get this information. Thank you. Have a good day, Joanna is

:43:45.:43:51.

presenting the programme tomorrow. I've had a message from China,

:43:52.:44:01.

from my birth mother.
