finish their concert. Plus - how many teaspoons of sugar | :00:39. | :00:47. | |

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 | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
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. | |

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. | |
in the knock-out stages was Chelsea and they lost the away leg | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
of their tie with Paris St Boss, Guus Hiddink, says the tie | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
is "50-50" with the return leg In the end a goal from ?55 million | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
substitute, Edinson Cavani, the difference, but Hiddink | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
says their away goal That was the hottest | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
ticket in town last night but what about Manchester United | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
away at Denmark's FC Midtylland?? Well, United fans are due | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
to protest at the ?71 price they are being charged for a ticket | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
for their Europa League Angered more by the fact Southampton | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
fans were only charged ?22 to go tot the same ground | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
in a European play-off And we will also hear | :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 | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
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 | :36:51. | :36:56. | |
jobs factory of Europe. Nine out of ten jobs are for UK nationals. Since | :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 | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
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. | |

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. | |
Not just that we managed to get out, but we escaped the worst of the | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
trauma by not being on the floor. And, in just a moment we'll meet two | :46:52. | :46:53. | |

He used to pick me up, throw me against the Radzi. He used a rag me | :48:11. | :48:18. | |
about by my hair, punch me in the face and slap me. He would call me | :48:19. | :48:27. | |
pasty names. He was just, he was just a horrible man. | :48:28. | :48:29. | |

of hot drinks in popular high street cafes. | :49:11. | :49:12. | |
Some have more than 20 teaspoons of sugar in them. | :49:13. | :49:15. | |

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 | :50:10. | :50:17. | |
game and scoring away is always good. We had good defensive work. | :50:18. | :50:29. | |

price for their Europa League game at Danish Champions Mityiland | :50:48. | :50:49. | |
tomorrow, with a banner saying "SCAM-DANAVIA". | :50:50. | :50:51. | |
Southampton supporters paid ?22 for a Europa League play-off match | :50:52. | :50:54. | |
The protest comes just a fortnight after Liverpool fans successfully | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
protested against a rise in top ticket prices, to ?77 | :50:59. | :51:01. | |

A Russian footballer has taunted Turkish fans by revealing a T-shirt | :51:10. | :51:11. | |
Lokomotiv Moscow's Dmitri Tarasov made the gesture after a match | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
The T-shirt also revealed the words "the most polite president". | :51:18. | :51:24. | |
The Europa League match was the biggest sporting encounter | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
between the nations since Turkey shot down a Russian jet | :51:28. | :51:31. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan took just 38 minutes to reach the third | :51:32. | :51:36. | |
round of the Welsh Open snooker after beating China's Tian Pengfay. | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
The win came following his comments on Monday, when he turned down | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
the chance of a 147 break because he believed the ?10,000 | :51:44. | :51:45. | |
Well, O'Sullivan was in superb form, claiming three century | :51:46. | :51:54. | |
Afterwards the five-time world champion told the BBC | :51:55. | :52:01. | |
that his comments on Monday were meant to be light-hearted. | :52:02. | :52:07. | |
I wasn't taking it seriously, it was a bit of fun, a laugh. I hope | :52:08. | :52:14. | |
everybody sees it that way. I don't see why we have to take everything | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
so seriously these days. If it is so disrespectful, if everyone else can | :52:21. | :52:23. | |
put in a performance like that, there is my cue, my chalk and my | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
waistcoat, go and do it. That's all the sport for now | :52:27. | :52:28. | |

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 | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
are selling hot drinks containing We'll take a look at | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
the worst offenders. A couple from Leeds who dramatically | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
escaped gunmen at the Bataclan in Paris tell us why they felt | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
compelled to return last night to watch the Eagles of Death Metal | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
finish their concert. Tony Scott and Justine Merton, | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
from Leeds, were at the Bataclan They escaped through a skylight in | :07:27. | :07:47. | |
the roof while venue was under siege. | :07:48. | :08:00. | |
Last night, the band returned and paid tribute to those that lost | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
their lives. Let's take a moment | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
to remember and then MUSIC: Only Want You by | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Eagles of Death Metal Tony Scott and Justine Merton | :08:10. | :08:38. | |
from Leeds were at the Bataclan So they felt compelled | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
to return last night We spoke to them exclusively just | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
days after the Paris attacks, Thank you very much for talking | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
to others, both of you, It was kind of, it was a gig | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
like any other, but not in the same We have been at some gigs since, | :09:00. | :09:12. | |
in terms of getting back Last night, there was still a fair | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
amount of trepidation going there. There was an awful lot | :09:20. | :09:32. | |
of security, which was There was armed guards | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
outside the venue. Once you were inside, | :09:35. | :09:47. | |
the atmosphere was really good and everyone was there | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
to have a good time. After a while it was almost | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
like any other than once in awhile you would remember why | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
you were there, really. I kept looking back at the exit | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
doors, on occasion. We do tend to find ourselves | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
making sure where exits Something we never | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
thought of before. We didn't relax as much | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
as we would at some gigs. But it was a good gig | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
and it was good to Kind of finish what | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
we started, really. If the band could come back | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
and play, we could go back It kind of felt like | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
something we had to do. I think we're both | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
pleased we did it. How moving was it | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
during the silence? It was moving to | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
begin with but still He felt like, shut up, | :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. | |

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 | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
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. | :44:02. | :44:06. |
