People who set up fake social media profiles to harass or post

:00:21.:00:25.

embarrassing pictures of others could end up in court.

:00:26.:00:34.

It could cause alarm for the victims. We will use the legislation

:00:35.:00:41.

to prosecute them. A generation of children plagued by lonelines and

:00:42.:00:45.

self-esteem, that is the warning from ChildLine. We'll ask these

:00:46.:00:48.

youngsters why they have struggled with the pressures of modern life. I

:00:49.:00:58.

ate my friend's dead bodies to stay alive. The first UK interview with

:00:59.:01:01.

one of the men who survived a plane crash in the Andes #40e years ago.

:01:02.:01:12.

A generation of children are plagued by loneliness and low self-esteem

:02:00.:02:03.

because of the pressures of modern life, according to the charity

:02:04.:02:06.

It says more young people are getting in touch than ever

:02:07.:02:11.

before with social media, cyber-bullying and the pressure

:02:12.:02:14.

for a perfect body image amongst the biggest problems.

:02:15.:02:25.

Jamie, Naomi, Charlie, Cameron. Thank you all for joining us.

:02:26.:02:32.

Let's talk about this now with Jamie, he's 17 and was bullied

:02:33.:02:35.

What is your disability? My ankles twist and it made me walk funny,

:02:36.:02:47.

people used that as a picking point to bully and torment me and, in the

:02:48.:02:52.

end, it really grinds down on you and gets to the point where you

:02:53.:02:56.

don't want to be in school or around people. It really does affect you

:02:57.:03:02.

growing up a lot. Describe what it's like when you say it grinds down on

:03:03.:03:07.

you. Did you try to ignore it, did you retaliate? It's different for

:03:08.:03:10.

everybody. For me personally, I tried to ignore it. But it's very

:03:11.:03:16.

difficult to ignore. It's very tricky to try to deal with it at

:03:17.:03:23.

times. Cameron, what have the issues been for you? Trying to get a grip

:03:24.:03:28.

of how I think people think of me. So I've had times where I've thought

:03:29.:03:34.

the worst of what people may be thinking and that's also brought me

:03:35.:03:41.

down so the point that I've not really enabled to go out or go to

:03:42.:03:46.

school, see people, face people. That's what brought know the stage

:03:47.:03:51.

of feeling lonely and down. It kind of made me anxious of going out and

:03:52.:03:55.

seeing people because it was on my mind what they would be saying

:03:56.:04:00.

behind my back or about me. What was it that made you start thinking it

:04:01.:04:05.

was bad, was it specific things or just a general fear that people

:04:06.:04:12.

might not like you? It was a general fear that I thought people wouldn't

:04:13.:04:16.

like me or think a certain way about me and it kind of just brought me

:04:17.:04:24.

down to the point that I just couldn't think properly or clearly

:04:25.:04:33.

and my end goal was not in sight. Naomi, you had similar concerns

:04:34.:04:37.

about how people saw you growing up. Tell us what issues you came across?

:04:38.:04:42.

Yes, I struggled with my body image, I didn't feel I was good enough with

:04:43.:04:45.

exam pressures, that was really difficult and that led to me

:04:46.:04:50.

suffering from panic attacks and anxiety attacks which led to

:04:51.:04:54.

self-harm and then it was a downward spiral of anxiety and me feeling bad

:04:55.:04:59.

against myself feeling that I couldn't ever reach people's

:05:00.:05:02.

expectations. Was this all going on in your head, were you able to talk

:05:03.:05:06.

to anybody about this? For around a year, I couldn't talk to anybody. I

:05:07.:05:09.

didn't feel able or confident enough to tell anyone for fear of being

:05:10.:05:14.

judged. Then once I did, I spoke to ChildLine first, that was the

:05:15.:05:19.

turning point for me where I could start to be more open. Charlie, what

:05:20.:05:24.

were your issues growing up? Being transgender is very difficult in

:05:25.:05:28.

every day society at the moment. Low self-esteem mainly. But with the

:05:29.:05:34.

help of ChildLine and external agencies helping, it's just

:05:35.:05:38.

everything has changed and it's better than it would have been ten

:05:39.:05:43.

years ago perhaps. Growing up is difficult enough when you are trying

:05:44.:05:47.

to find yourself, I think all kids, everybody that's been a kid

:05:48.:05:52.

identifies with that? Yes. At the age of 14 when hormones are

:05:53.:05:57.

developing anyway, you were grappling other issues too? Yes. So

:05:58.:06:01.

all of these issues were at large for you, but obviously it's the same

:06:02.:06:06.

issues that apply to anyone? Yes. And how did you feel about that? Did

:06:07.:06:13.

you feel isolated? Isolated. Isolated is the only thing I can say

:06:14.:06:22.

really. That was the hard thing. Laura, you are a bit older, you are

:06:23.:06:27.

23, you have been through the same issues kids go through. Are these

:06:28.:06:30.

typical experiences? Yes. Definitely. I had an eating disorder

:06:31.:06:36.

about ten years ago now. I would say my recovery part was the most the

:06:37.:06:40.

difficult because that was the time I was scrutinised for the most time,

:06:41.:06:45.

for my weight, what I looked like. It was hard to do things on my own

:06:46.:06:51.

which made me back away from people and I felt like I was always been

:06:52.:06:56.

watched which made me back away. It's difficult to build up your own

:06:57.:07:01.

self-worth. I read something recently request - Ke spend so many

:07:02.:07:05.

years in education yet nobody teaches us how to love oushess. That

:07:06.:07:12.

sums things up perfectly. We have to accept ourselves for who we are. One

:07:13.:07:17.

comment can do so much damage and that was resonant with me at the

:07:18.:07:22.

time. And you help in schools to try to boost self-confidence. What is it

:07:23.:07:28.

about kids, all of us, that makes a comment sometimes be a worm in

:07:29.:07:31.

someone's mind that causes damage and others just able to shake it

:07:32.:07:36.

off? I think it's that, we are our own worst critic and someone else

:07:37.:07:40.

placing that judgment on you just kind of intensifies it and makes it

:07:41.:07:44.

more real for you. I think unless you are a very self-confident person

:07:45.:07:50.

and can find that inner strength, it's very difficult to ignore the

:07:51.:07:53.

comments. It's difficult to be comfortable with ourselves but when

:07:54.:07:56.

you can get to that point, it becomes a lot easier but everyone

:07:57.:07:59.

needs to be aware of how they are treating other people because it can

:08:00.:08:03.

have a massive impact. Is that something you all identify with?

:08:04.:08:10.

Jamie? I agree massively with the point that we judge ourselves so

:08:11.:08:15.

harshly sometimes because there's this image of a perfect teenager

:08:16.:08:19.

nowadays. You have got to wear the right clothes... Why do you say

:08:20.:08:24.

nowadays, is that because of social media? It's massively due to social

:08:25.:08:28.

media. You see pictures on Facebook of people and they'll be wearing

:08:29.:08:32.

expensive clothes and they'll have their hair all done up and you will

:08:33.:08:37.

feel well, why don't I have that done, if I don't have that done I'm

:08:38.:08:41.

not going to fit in at school and be comfortable around people. Yes.

:08:42.:08:48.

Naomi? Yes, there's that pressure on social media that you've got to get

:08:49.:08:53.

"likes" on Facebook, if you don't, you question yourself, what you are

:08:54.:08:56.

doing wrong and why people don't like you. That definitely does

:08:57.:09:00.

impact your self-esteem. You feel a bit down as well if you don't get

:09:01.:09:05.

many likes on a photo on Facebook. I know it's so silly to feel sad about

:09:06.:09:09.

not getting likes on Facebook, but if you post a photo that you feel

:09:10.:09:14.

very confident about and then you get no likes, it's a bit like, well

:09:15.:09:17.

should I take it down, what's wrong with it. Cameron, you have really

:09:18.:09:22.

seen that element of social media where it's a way to address

:09:23.:09:26.

lonelines sometimes but can make you feel worse as well? Yes, it's like

:09:27.:09:30.

when you are at home or on your own in your safe space, you could be

:09:31.:09:35.

typing anything, you could be, as my friends have said, posting pictures

:09:36.:09:39.

of yourself that you are quite happy with, but then the problem with

:09:40.:09:43.

making the statements that you decide to make, or saying how you

:09:44.:09:49.

feel, or what's getting you down on the social media platforms, is that

:09:50.:09:52.

it's not just your friends who can see it, it's a much wider audience

:09:53.:09:56.

and an audience of people that you don't actually want to see or

:09:57.:10:01.

wouldn't wish to see are able to access it and that's hard for you to

:10:02.:10:06.

then go out into the world if you know that everybody's already got an

:10:07.:10:09.

image in their mind of how you are going to act or how you feel.

:10:10.:10:15.

Definitely. You have turned to ChildLine, all of you, for help.

:10:16.:10:24.

What did that do to help you? ChildLine's very, very important

:10:25.:10:29.

nowadays. It gives you more confidence. How, how does it do

:10:30.:10:34.

that? Being able to talk to a trusted adult, being able to seek

:10:35.:10:38.

the support that everybody needs every now and then. I'm sure you

:10:39.:10:42.

would all agree with me that ChildLine does help and the NSPCC

:10:43.:10:48.

will help as much as they can, if you have problems you need to talk

:10:49.:10:53.

to a trusted adult. You help other kids as a result of they have been

:10:54.:10:56.

through now don't you? There are workshops in schools for mental

:10:57.:10:58.

health for the younger students sothey are more aware of it and so

:10:59.:11:02.

that they can recognise when things aren't going quite right and that

:11:03.:11:06.

they can seek help and talk to someone and that their friends will

:11:07.:11:09.

understand instead of them being judged about opening up about

:11:10.:11:13.

something that is difficult to open up about. Laura, you have grown up

:11:14.:11:20.

as part of this generation. Do you think social media and those

:11:21.:11:25.

pressures bring a different dynamic for kids growing up to put them

:11:26.:11:29.

under greaterther pressure? Massively. When I was going through

:11:30.:11:33.

what I was going through, it was only magazines, that was enough of a

:11:34.:11:38.

trigger and I don't know how kids do it these days with Instagram and

:11:39.:11:42.

Facebook. I got my first iPhone last year and you see five-year-olds

:11:43.:11:45.

running around with them and it's mad. It plays an extra part and adds

:11:46.:11:52.

a different pressure. I have never used ChildLine but there are

:11:53.:11:57.

charities that offer similar support. It's really important

:11:58.:12:00.

because people need somewhere they can go and feel safe and confide in

:12:01.:12:04.

when they don't have that everywhere else. Why did you all feel the need

:12:05.:12:09.

to go to ChildLine rather than talk to those around you. Parents will be

:12:10.:12:13.

watching thinking, they might be worried about their children,

:12:14.:12:16.

wanting to talk to them, is it difficult some times to open up to

:12:17.:12:20.

those closest to you? You are both nodding, so why? For me it was more

:12:21.:12:25.

that I felt everyone around me would automatically judge me for anything

:12:26.:12:28.

I opened up about. Even your parents? Yes. I was scared that... I

:12:29.:12:35.

had no reason to really but in my head it felt really real that it

:12:36.:12:39.

would really upset them and stuff so going to ChildLine for me, it was

:12:40.:12:43.

somewhere online and I didn't have to see anybody face-to-face so I

:12:44.:12:47.

didn't have to see their reactions soit was a safe place for me to talk

:12:48.:12:52.

about stuff in confidence. Jamie, you were agreeing with that? The

:12:53.:12:56.

really horrible thing is, it's inside your head and when you get

:12:57.:13:00.

that thought into your head, if I say somebody's going to judge me or

:13:01.:13:03.

tell somebody else, once you have got that in your head, you don't

:13:04.:13:07.

want to say anything about something. ChildLine empowers young

:13:08.:13:11.

people to tell people their problems. When I went to ChildLine,

:13:12.:13:16.

they gave me the confidence to talk to my parents about what was going

:13:17.:13:19.

on. Do you think your parents knew you were struggling? Do you think

:13:20.:13:23.

they were worried? I think every parent to an extent has a feeling

:13:24.:13:27.

that something might not be right with the child, especially when

:13:28.:13:35.

you've got this child who changes very quickly and start isolating

:13:36.:13:40.

themselves and don't go out as much, they might not be going on the

:13:41.:13:43.

Internet as much, it's signs like that that a parent would notice. You

:13:44.:13:48.

never know what is going on in someone's head do you, even those

:13:49.:13:52.

close to you. Did you find that Cameron? I did. It was also hard for

:13:53.:14:00.

me to get a grip on the words "I need help" coming out of my mouth.

:14:01.:14:04.

Had you wanted to say it but couldn't? Yes, I'd wanted to say to

:14:05.:14:12.

people before that I'm not OK all the time, sometimes the smile on my

:14:13.:14:17.

face isn't real but I think that the aspect of being able to phone

:14:18.:14:25.

ChildLine and the confidentiality of that, it's not going to go anywhere,

:14:26.:14:29.

they are not going to go anywhere with it until they think you are at

:14:30.:14:33.

risk. Up until that point when you did speak out, all bit to somebody

:14:34.:14:38.

at the end of a phoneline, how would the outside world have seen you do

:14:39.:14:42.

you think? Were you a close person, were people saying "are you OK? "? I

:14:43.:14:49.

don't think people were asking me generally, actually asking me, are

:14:50.:14:52.

you all right, that sort of thing, and I think the thing for me was

:14:53.:14:58.

that I tried to portray a happy person and I think sometimes that's

:14:59.:15:02.

what brought me down was that I was trying be happy, I was trying to

:15:03.:15:07.

tell the world I was hopely but deep down that's not what was in my

:15:08.:15:10.

brain, that's not what I was thinking.

:15:11.:15:15.

Charlie, because you are transgender and were obviously going through a

:15:16.:15:19.

process with that, were you therefore getting help and speaking

:15:20.:15:23.

to people in a way that perhaps the others weren't because it wasn't

:15:24.:15:27.

such an Overt thing that people were aware of? Yes, not particularly. The

:15:28.:15:33.

only personal I spoke to in terms of professionals is my GP, the GP was,

:15:34.:15:38.

well I was was referred on to mental Health Services. That is the only

:15:39.:15:44.

thing that helped me, the only professional body that helped me,

:15:45.:15:49.

that I was able to speak my own mind with. Once you did all start to

:15:50.:15:52.

speak, what difference did that make to you? Huge. Huge. Even now doing

:15:53.:15:58.

this sort of thing for me is very therapeutic and the more you talk

:15:59.:16:01.

about it and help others with it, it makes you a lot stronger. It's

:16:02.:16:04.

really important and every time you do it you get a new perspective and

:16:05.:16:08.

it's a really good thing to do. Especially when you have got

:16:09.:16:12.

support. Jamie, I know that the moment for you that actually led to

:16:13.:16:15.

you feeling like you wanted to talk was you went to see the musical

:16:16.:16:20.

Wicked, tell us why that was a moment for you?

:16:21.:16:26.

It is a show about a character who is judged so harshly on her looks,

:16:27.:16:32.

and I think it resonates with every single young person who might have a

:16:33.:16:36.

difference that they don't feel is something they should be confident

:16:37.:16:40.

about, but this character was so confident about being green, there

:16:41.:16:45.

is a massive difference, you don't see people who are green walking

:16:46.:16:48.

down the street! But she was so confident with it and I think it

:16:49.:16:54.

resonates with every single person, because if you have got a difference

:16:55.:16:58.

you should be confident about it, rather than being pushed down about

:16:59.:17:04.

it, you shouldn't feel pressure to hide the differences. So, for you,

:17:05.:17:13.

that moment when you saw Elphaba in Wicked, it took that accord? We told

:17:14.:17:20.

Rachel Tucker, who played Elphaba, the impact that it had a new, that

:17:21.:17:24.

going to the theatre had, and how it was a moment when you thought, I am

:17:25.:17:28.

going to be proud of myself. She was so moved that she recorded a message

:17:29.:17:29.

for you to hear. Hey Jamie, it's Rachel Tucker here,

:17:30.:17:32.

shouting out with lots of love I'm over here playing Elphaba,

:17:33.:17:35.

and I hear you have a massive connection with Wicked,

:17:36.:17:43.

and especially Elphaba Listen, chin up, Jimmy -

:17:44.:17:45.

thanks for sharing your very lovely and important

:17:46.:17:59.

story to us all. Chin up, lots of love

:18:00.:18:01.

from New York, and take care. She wanted to do it because she

:18:02.:18:14.

understood the impact on you, and the impact that you coming in and

:18:15.:18:20.

talking will have on people at home. One tweet, children have two

:18:21.:18:24.

conformed to societal norms without a voice. Another, watching brave

:18:25.:18:31.

teams on the show. Another, the young people talking about isolation

:18:32.:18:34.

shows how they have not given into low esteem. Thank you so much for

:18:35.:18:38.

coming in, and thank you for your comments. Get in touch, let us know

:18:39.:18:42.

what your thoughts are on all of that.

:18:43.:18:44.

We're looking at the day-to-day things that would affect us

:18:45.:18:52.

if we decide to leave the EU, the price

:18:53.:18:55.

of flights, food and phone calls, for example.

:18:56.:18:57.

But also what happens to British ex-pats living abroad

:18:58.:18:59.

Send your questions in and we'll see if our experts can answer them.

:19:00.:19:04.

And internet trolls who set up fake social media profiles to post

:19:05.:19:07.

damaging or embarrassing material could face criminal charges.

:19:08.:19:11.

We'll be speaking to the Director of Public Prosecutions,

:19:12.:19:14.

Alison Saunders, on how the law is changing.

:19:15.:19:20.

A French minister says migrants could be allowed to travel unchecked

:19:21.:19:25.

to the UK if Britain chooses to leave the European Union.

:19:26.:19:28.

It's likely to be raised at a meeting today between

:19:29.:19:30.

David Cameron and the French president.

:19:31.:19:33.

Leave campaigners say the warning is ludicrous and not backed up

:19:34.:19:36.

The German car manufacturer BMW has emailed its UK staff to highlight

:19:37.:19:41.

what it sees as the risks of a British exit.

:19:42.:19:44.

Vote Leave campaigners dismiss it as "scare-mongering".

:19:45.:19:50.

Internet trolls who create fake social media profiles could find

:19:51.:19:53.

themselves in court under proposed guidelines for prosecutors

:19:54.:19:55.

The Crown Prosecution Service says adults should be charged if they use

:19:56.:20:00.

fake social media IDs to harass others.

:20:01.:20:05.

North Korea has launched several short-range missiles into the sea.

:20:06.:20:09.

It came hours after the UN announced tough sanctions against the country.

:20:10.:20:11.

The measures were passed in response to Pyongyang's recent nuclear tests.

:20:12.:20:17.

The killers of Bristol teenager Becky Watts were granted more

:20:18.:20:20.

than ?400,000 in legal aid, according to a Freedom

:20:21.:20:22.

Nathan Matthews was jailed for life and his girlfriend Shauna Hoare

:20:23.:20:27.

Let's catch up with all the sport now and join Katherine Downes.

:20:28.:20:36.

Quite a night in the Premier League? Yes, quite unlike the Leicester City

:20:37.:20:43.

and they were not even playing, but their nearest rivals in the race for

:20:44.:20:48.

the title, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester City, or lost, so more

:20:49.:20:52.

breathing space for Leicester at the top of the table. We will bring you

:20:53.:20:55.

up-to-date with those results. We will also remember a legend of New

:20:56.:21:00.

Zealand Cricket, Martin Crowe, who died of cancer at the age of 53,

:21:01.:21:06.

arguably the country's best batsman, tribute across the world of cricket

:21:07.:21:10.

today for him, we will look back at his life and career. Also the latest

:21:11.:21:14.

on the world track cycling Championships, taking based in

:21:15.:21:17.

London, Sir Bradley Wiggins has been in action. And we will be hearing

:21:18.:21:22.

from Andy Murray as Britain gets ready to defend the Davis Cup tie

:21:23.:21:27.

against Japan. He has been speaking to the BBC and unsurprisingly the

:21:28.:21:31.

subject of his interview was mainly his new baby daughter, Sophia. He

:21:32.:21:39.

says it doesn't matter whether or not he wins another grand slam now

:21:40.:21:41.

because he has got something more important in his life, but he does

:21:42.:21:44.

want to make her proud both on and off the court. It is a lovely

:21:45.:21:47.

interview, tune in for that at 10am. But obviously we hope he keeps on

:21:48.:21:49.

winning as well! If trying to work out whether you'll

:21:50.:21:51.

be better off in or out of the EU has left you baffled,

:21:52.:21:55.

then it's no surprise. Almost every day we're getting

:21:56.:21:57.

completely contradictory claims from those on either side

:21:58.:21:59.

of the argument about everything from the price of food to the cost

:22:00.:22:01.

of flights and how much you'll pay Our political guru Norman Smith

:22:02.:22:05.

is here to help us Go one, then!

:22:06.:22:15.

The fingers, we spend a lot of time talking about the issues, about

:22:16.:22:18.

immigration, the single market, the city. But what will probably shape

:22:19.:22:24.

these opinions is the bread-and-butter issues, the daily

:22:25.:22:29.

household budgets. This is my take on how leaving or staying in the EU

:22:30.:22:32.

will affect some of the key bills that we face. The most important for

:22:33.:22:37.

many people will be jobs, because if you don't have a job, financially

:22:38.:22:41.

speaking, you are in trouble. Those who want us to stay in said 3

:22:42.:22:46.

million jobs are tied up in the EU, why put that at risk? We just heard

:22:47.:22:51.

on the news the boss of BMW writing to staff in the UK saying, be

:22:52.:22:55.

careful about this. Those who want to get out say, if we left, we would

:22:56.:23:02.

get rid of a lot of unnecessary regulation, we would become an

:23:03.:23:06.

Anglo-Saxon tiger, we could create more jobs. Secondary, I suppose,

:23:07.:23:12.

importantly to many people will be the weekly food shop, will the

:23:13.:23:15.

build-up of boiled down? The Government says if we leave the EU

:23:16.:23:19.

we will face tariffs to trade with them which will drive up food bills,

:23:20.:23:24.

and these are big tariffs. Yesterday they said dairy products could face

:23:25.:23:29.

a 36% tariff, confectionery up by 32%, W up by 20% -- W up by 20%.

:23:30.:23:40.

Those who want to get out say food bowls will go down by 7% a week

:23:41.:23:45.

because we won't have to bother with the Common Agricultural Policy,

:23:46.:23:47.

which they say keep food prices artificially high.

:23:48.:23:53.

Cheap flights, we all enjoy them these days. The boss of easyJet says

:23:54.:23:57.

if we get out then flying will once again be reserved for an elite bit

:23:58.:24:02.

of it will be harder to negotiate a deal to 27 different countries. But

:24:03.:24:06.

her rival, the boss of Ryanair, says, no, that is not true, there

:24:07.:24:11.

will be no airfare Armageddon, because little European towns don't

:24:12.:24:16.

want to lose out on British tourists going there.

:24:17.:24:20.

Lastly, mortgages, which are probably everyone's begins bill.

:24:21.:24:24.

Here, the Government say, look what happened when this campaign started.

:24:25.:24:29.

The pound fell straightaway to a seven-year low. In other words, the

:24:30.:24:34.

city will get the BG if we pull out, which means interest rates go up,

:24:35.:24:39.

which means mortgages go up -- the city will get the jitters. Those who

:24:40.:24:43.

want out say we don't want to be anywhere near the uber zone, near

:24:44.:24:47.

the risk of Greece spreading chaos to us, far better to be out -- near

:24:48.:24:53.

the eurozone. Those are some of the basic bread-and-butter issues, there

:24:54.:24:57.

are many more, pensions, petrol, there are a lot, but in a funny way

:24:58.:25:01.

that maybe what shapes how people vote.

:25:02.:25:03.

You have gone through a lot of issues there, let's try to answer

:25:04.:25:05.

some of the questions being raised. We can speak now to Mark Tanzer,

:25:06.:25:07.

who runs the Association of British Travel Agents,

:25:08.:25:10.

Rachel Rickard Straus, who's personal finance editor

:25:11.:25:11.

at This Is Money website, and Teni Shahiean,

:25:12.:25:14.

an immigration lawyer. Thank you all for coming in. Mark,

:25:15.:25:21.

the issue of flights, what is likely to happen to the cost of flights if

:25:22.:25:25.

we were to leave goes macro there are huge uncertainties as you have

:25:26.:25:30.

just said but buried in the forecast are the risks that they could go up.

:25:31.:25:34.

The most immediate risk is the value of the pound, the fact that airlines

:25:35.:25:41.

by their fuel in dollars and therefore when they buy forward

:25:42.:25:46.

Google it would be more expensive, feeding through to customers

:25:47.:25:48.

eventually if the pound stays where it is. Whether that is because of

:25:49.:25:55.

the referendum, how long ago last, nobody knows. What about wide issues

:25:56.:26:04.

like free European airspace? Is that something that could have an impact?

:26:05.:26:10.

I think it would. We have become used to a World Cup relatively

:26:11.:26:14.

low-cost airfares, which came about because of the opening of the

:26:15.:26:19.

European airfare market will stop until 1992, each country treated

:26:20.:26:22.

their airspace as their own domain, they could say what the prices would

:26:23.:26:27.

be, largely to protect their national carriers. Once that went,

:26:28.:26:32.

competition came in, costs came down and it opened of destinations that

:26:33.:26:36.

people could never have been two previously, which is important not

:26:37.:26:39.

just for holiday-makers but for people who have bought homes as

:26:40.:26:46.

well. If we were not in the EU, could we negotiate similar rights?

:26:47.:26:50.

It is a big unknown. But potentially could see the cost of air fare rise

:26:51.:26:53.

if we could not get free access. What a big unknown. But potentially

:26:54.:26:56.

could see the cost of airfare rise if we could not get free access.

:26:57.:26:59.

What about things like insurance? At the moment we have access to the

:27:00.:27:02.

European health-insurance card, not a very elegant name, that it means

:27:03.:27:08.

you can get access to medical treatment if you are in the EU. It

:27:09.:27:11.

is not the same as travel insurance, it doesn't cover private cover all

:27:12.:27:16.

bring in new home after an accident but it is an important asset to

:27:17.:27:20.

have. If we were not there, you might have to pay for that

:27:21.:27:25.

assistance in an EU country, and also the cost of travel insurance

:27:26.:27:29.

would go up because a lot of travel insurer said if you have the EHIC

:27:30.:27:34.

then you do not have to pay the excess because the early costs would

:27:35.:27:37.

be covered by that insurance. Rachel, talk to us about personal

:27:38.:27:41.

finance, roaming charges first of all? For so many years now we have

:27:42.:27:47.

had these horror stories about shock bills when people go abroad and use

:27:48.:27:52.

their phones, people downloading one episode of the apprentice and it

:27:53.:27:57.

costs hundreds of pounds, or calling home and paying ?50 to check on the

:27:58.:28:04.

cat! This is due to end now, so in April these will be cut for everyone

:28:05.:28:10.

across Europe, 5% is the most we will be charged -- 5 cents is the

:28:11.:28:17.

most will be charged for a minute phone call, too sensible text

:28:18.:28:22.

message, and by June it will be gone completely. You will be able to call

:28:23.:28:27.

anywhere the EU and if you are on a phone plan it will be included in

:28:28.:28:30.

your minutes, which is brilliant. What will happen when we are out is

:28:31.:28:36.

very unclear. The reason why we are having all of these changes is down

:28:37.:28:42.

to EU directives. It is not the goodness of the phone companies

:28:43.:28:46.

deciding to give us lower bills, it is the EU saying this is what has to

:28:47.:28:51.

happen. I am not saying it has been a perfect process, it has taken

:28:52.:28:55.

years to get a consensus across the EU to finally get these benefits for

:28:56.:29:00.

EU citizens. So potentially it could go overnight, but potentially maybe

:29:01.:29:08.

not? Would consumers take that? Phone companies are competing for

:29:09.:29:13.

business between each other, so if they see that this is the key issue

:29:14.:29:20.

for consumers, then arguably they wouldn't remove it overnight.

:29:21.:29:22.

Certainly the changes that have come in already -- that will come in this

:29:23.:29:28.

year in April, will they backtrack? I'm not sure. But the changes due to

:29:29.:29:34.

come in in 2017, after the vote, are still up for grabs. What about the

:29:35.:29:38.

issues of subsidies and tariffs, would bills go up or down? It

:29:39.:29:43.

absolutely depends on the agreements that we come up with for the

:29:44.:29:47.

tariffs, that is one issue. The other issue is the value of

:29:48.:29:51.

sterling. When you look around the supermarket at the type of products

:29:52.:29:55.

that we buy, a lot of them will say, made in Britain, grown in the UK,

:29:56.:29:59.

but the majority are grown abroad. What happens is, when we are buying

:30:00.:30:05.

products from abroad, we are not buying them in pounds, we buy them

:30:06.:30:11.

in euros, dollars, whichever currency is in the country where we

:30:12.:30:15.

are buying, and we sell in sterling. If the value of the pound continues

:30:16.:30:21.

to fall, and it looks like that is a realistic proposition, certainly in

:30:22.:30:26.

the run-up because there is such uncertainty about what will happen

:30:27.:30:29.

over the next few months, and people get worried about the state of the

:30:30.:30:34.

UK economy, so if we see a fall in the value of the pound then it just

:30:35.:30:39.

gets more expensive for retailers to buy food from abroad, and of course

:30:40.:30:44.

it gets passed on to us as consumers. Teni, immigration, EU

:30:45.:30:51.

citizens living here, UK citizens living elsewhere in Europe, what

:30:52.:30:57.

would happen? It is a big question, we are not entirely sure and it

:30:58.:31:00.

would depend on what agreement comes up if we leave Europe. It wouldn't

:31:01.:31:07.

be an overnight thing that people would have to suddenly upped sticks?

:31:08.:31:11.

I don't think it would be an overnight thing, it would take some

:31:12.:31:15.

time to negotiate on what terms they are going to come out of Europe, and

:31:16.:31:20.

during that time I think they would remain as what the legislation

:31:21.:31:25.

currently is, so this is all a big question, we are not sure exactly

:31:26.:31:29.

what is going to happen after that. So you would expect a status is to

:31:30.:31:33.

stay the same, so UK citizens living elsewhere in the EU would be able to

:31:34.:31:40.

stay but others wouldn't? How long would that take to fresh out? Under

:31:41.:31:45.

the treaty it is two years minimum for them to negotiate some sort of

:31:46.:31:51.

agreement. Whether it will take two years or a longer time is not clear.

:31:52.:31:55.

I guess one of the things that striketh strikes me is the

:31:56.:32:00.

uncertainty. It will affect Brits going to live and work abroad

:32:01.:32:03.

because they won't quite know whether they are going to be

:32:04.:32:07.

guaranteed access to certain benefits and employment rights and

:32:08.:32:10.

so on. There would be that slight unease about, do they really want to

:32:11.:32:13.

take the risk of, I don't know, working in France, Germany or

:32:14.:32:17.

whenever, when everything is so fluid. So maybe it will actually

:32:18.:32:20.

impact on the readiness of people from here to go and work in the rest

:32:21.:32:25.

of Europe? Certainly, it's the complete unknown. We have had a very

:32:26.:32:30.

large number of applications from Europeans who're living and working

:32:31.:32:35.

here to apply for permanent residency and British citizenship,

:32:36.:32:38.

so the Home Office nationality department has had a massive up

:32:39.:32:41.

surge in their applications and it's all in the hope that they can get

:32:42.:32:45.

the citizenship and not have any worries in the long run of whether

:32:46.:32:52.

they can vote in the referendum. To round things up, Norman, the

:32:53.:32:55.

French Finance Minister's been talking about the potential impact

:32:56.:32:59.

on immigration and trade if the UK were to leave. It will be music to

:33:00.:33:04.

the ears of the remain campaign? Downing Street will be absolutely

:33:05.:33:09.

delighted. The French Finance Minister is saying in effect if we

:33:10.:33:13.

leave, the current deal whereby the British border is effectively

:33:14.:33:16.

policed along Calais and the French coast, so we have the Jungle in

:33:17.:33:21.

France, that will be up for grabs and quite possibly, as David

:33:22.:33:24.

Cameron's previously suggested, we could find camps on the south coast

:33:25.:33:29.

of the UK. More than that, he's questioned about whether we'll get

:33:30.:33:32.

access to the single markets, all the things that David Cameron's

:33:33.:33:34.

said. One thing that struck me listening to everyone is, so much is

:33:35.:33:40.

going to depend on "the deal" and the deals that are negotiated. If we

:33:41.:33:45.

leave, we may get better deals, if we stay, we may get worse deals. The

:33:46.:33:49.

French may decide not to police the border any more if we leave, they

:33:50.:33:53.

might say, you can deal with it. On the other hand, they may take the

:33:54.:33:56.

view that if they allow refugees and migrants to travel through, France

:33:57.:34:00.

will become much more of a magnet for migrants and refugees who'll

:34:01.:34:03.

want to get to Britain, so rather than having 4,000 people in Calais,

:34:04.:34:06.

you could end up with tens of thousands. There's a lot of

:34:07.:34:10.

political self-calculation and when you try to answer all the questions,

:34:11.:34:15.

so much depends on the nature of those eye Bam-to-eye ball deals that

:34:16.:34:21.

will have to be done if we pull out. -- eye ball to eye ball. Thank you

:34:22.:34:27.

all very much. Lots of you getting in touch on the conversation that we

:34:28.:34:31.

were having about the difficulties for teenagers growing up and the

:34:32.:34:34.

angst arriving, not least out of the pressures from social media. Rachel

:34:35.:34:39.

texted to say, my daughter had more than 1,000 friends on Facebook but

:34:40.:34:43.

actually only had six true friends. Kids ought to consider why they have

:34:44.:34:46.

to be in competition online to have the most friends and be careful

:34:47.:34:50.

about what they post. James tweeted to say, I'm 22 and have experienced

:34:51.:34:54.

similar issues growing up. I deleted all my social media accounts and

:34:55.:34:58.

have never been happier. Bob tweeted to say the young folk that by their

:34:59.:35:03.

difference tell the young folk that by their difference they are unique,

:35:04.:35:06.

same is boring. Celebrate the positive, he says. Caton, how they

:35:07.:35:14.

are, issing in to do with anyone else, they are showing themselveses

:35:15.:35:17.

to be caring big hearted young people, no need to care what others

:35:18.:35:21.

think of them, be proud to be beautiful, you've done it.

:35:22.:35:25.

He's best known for box office hits such as Pretty Woman

:35:26.:35:27.

and American Gigolo, but for his latest film Richard Gere

:35:28.:35:30.

poses as a down-and-out on the streets of New York

:35:31.:35:33.

to highlight the plight of homelessness.

:35:34.:35:35.

Cameras were hidden from public view during the filming

:35:36.:35:37.

of Time Out Of Mind, and the Hollywood actor sat

:35:38.:35:40.

on street corners begging for up to 45 minutes at a time

:35:41.:35:43.

He's a long time campaigner against homelessness and 10%

:35:44.:35:47.

of the film's UK profits are being donated to the charities

:35:48.:35:50.

Mr Gere is in London meeting with young homeless people,

:35:51.:35:54.

and he spoke to us about why he feels so passionately

:35:55.:35:57.

about the issue and shared his thoughts on the American

:35:58.:35:59.

Are you and have you been addicted to any legal or illegal substances?

:36:00.:36:11.

How about family, have you got family?

:36:12.:36:20.

# For you, I've lived, for you I will die.

:36:21.:36:24.

Well, here you go, turn around on these kids, these are two

:36:25.:36:39.

I'm Brooke Morgan, vice chair of Centerpoint Parliament.

:36:40.:36:51.

And she has no sense of herself at all.

:36:52.:36:53.

Let me stop you there, I want to be a director!

:36:54.:36:58.

You're sick in the head, you're not well, you don't

:36:59.:37:01.

like yourself, you're depressed, you don't believe in yourself,

:37:02.:37:03.

so what is society supposed to do with you?

:37:04.:37:05.

The movie is quite a gentle portrayal of homelessness,

:37:06.:37:11.

I thought, in that your character is a gentle man, who is disconnected

:37:12.:37:14.

from society, and grappling with that issue of someone

:37:15.:37:19.

Yes, I mean, the choice was early on, and I've been involved with this

:37:20.:37:30.

thing, developing it, for 12 years, and I didn't want to sensationalise

:37:31.:37:33.

this at all, I didn't think that was helpful.

:37:34.:37:35.

And I don't even think it was the best way of making this

:37:36.:37:39.

movie, and the choice was made not to play a cliche of a character

:37:40.:37:45.

like this, who is flamboyantly mentally ill, or acting out.

:37:46.:37:50.

I thought it was much more interesting to play someone

:37:51.:37:53.

It's my bed, it's my bed, they gave it to me,

:37:54.:38:03.

What's the matter, are you afraid of me, newbie?

:38:04.:38:33.

There is something strangely monk-like about this character.

:38:34.:38:40.

He gets frustrated, like we all do, but this is not someone who is angry

:38:41.:38:45.

at the world, angry at God, he's someone who is slightly out

:38:46.:38:51.

of time, out of time and space, who is looking,

:38:52.:38:56.

whether he could articulate it or not, to penetrate an existential

:38:57.:39:00.

crisis that, basically, we all have, it's lurking there for all of us.

:39:01.:39:05.

Have you had existential crises?

:39:06.:39:07.

There's four of us in this room here, right now,

:39:08.:39:11.

But maybe the cameraman has not had...

:39:12.:39:15.

Of course, everyone has asked the question, who am I,

:39:16.:39:19.

what am I, why any of this, what is reality?

:39:20.:39:25.

And the way we articulate that in the movie is a question of identity.

:39:26.:39:30.

He has to have papers that prove if he even exists.

:39:31.:39:36.

It can be two recent utility bills with your name and address.

:39:37.:39:40.

I don't have an address, I'm really sorry.

:39:41.:39:43.

At the moment, I do not have a home, at the moment.

:39:44.:39:51.

You need a letter from a government agency, dated within

:39:52.:39:53.

the last six months - taxes, social security...

:39:54.:39:56.

But do you feel like you connected with that sense of somebody

:39:57.:40:00.

being invisible when you were actually filming the movie?

:40:01.:40:03.

Because you did it on long lenses, you, Richard Gere, a man

:40:04.:40:06.

who would presumably normally walk down the street and people

:40:07.:40:09.

I was really anxious about it, I didn't know if it would work,

:40:10.:40:14.

and I was producing the movie, I didn't know, I thought

:40:15.:40:16.

we would get ten or 15 seconds before I was recognised, but I said,

:40:17.:40:20.

look, I think we can live with that, if we can get ten or 15 seconds

:40:21.:40:24.

The first shot we did, which is actually in the movie,

:40:25.:40:29.

towards the end of the movie, I came out to Astor Place,

:40:30.:40:32.

the cameras were hidden, as they were for the entire movie,

:40:33.:40:34.

so nobody saw that, and we did a 45 minute shot of me standing

:40:35.:40:37.

in New York City, in a very busy place, and no one recognised me.

:40:38.:40:41.

I don't think there is any of us who could not feel the possibility

:40:42.:40:49.

of letting go, and everything could fall apart, that sense

:40:50.:40:55.

of the fragility of our reality structure, and how paper-thin our

:40:56.:41:01.

I'm homeless, I don't have a home, I've got no home, I'm homeless!

:41:02.:41:13.

They think we're clowns, we're cartoons!

:41:14.:41:34.

OK, I'm a clown now, OK, I'm a cartoon.

:41:35.:41:38.

I know that you have donated to the Hillary Clinton campaign...

:41:39.:41:42.

Well, it's out there, I do my research!

:41:43.:41:47.

It's now looking like it is going to be a contest probably

:41:48.:41:52.

between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, although

:41:53.:41:55.

I wondered what your perspective is on Donald Trump,

:41:56.:42:00.

because there was a case last year when a homeless guy was attacked

:42:01.:42:05.

in Boston, by two men who said that they were inspired

:42:06.:42:08.

to attack him because of the words Donald Trump had been

:42:09.:42:10.

I wondered what you might think of the way he has

:42:11.:42:15.

It is hard to imagine someone like that being president

:42:16.:42:25.

of the United States, who is totally ill-equipped on every

:42:26.:42:28.

To be in a position of authority and inspiration for people.

:42:29.:42:37.

So I don't think it's going to happen, and it is kind

:42:38.:42:40.

of like everyone's nightmare that it might happen, but we

:42:41.:42:43.

Brooke Morgan, you are on the Centerpoint Parliament.

:42:44.:43:20.

Centerpoint obviously does a huge amount for the homeless,

:43:21.:43:24.

thousands of people living homeless on the streets of London.

:43:25.:43:29.

I think I am just the voice of people who don't really

:43:30.:43:35.

So you had issues at home, and ended up moving out of the home?

:43:36.:43:40.

Yes, initially to my grandmother's house, and then that became really

:43:41.:43:44.

unstable, because the help I wanted was from my mum,

:43:45.:43:48.

But it got to a stage where I just wasn't talking, wasn't eating,

:43:49.:43:56.

Obviously, a lot of kids end up living on the streets.

:43:57.:44:03.

You know friends who have ended up in that situation, don't you?

:44:04.:44:06.

Yes, very rough, places like this, even, and buses, tubes,

:44:07.:44:09.

And you are staying in a shelter right now?

:44:10.:44:15.

So are the other people staying there, have they come from,

:44:16.:44:22.

obviously, all sorts of environments?

:44:23.:44:25.

A few of them, but I know the vast majority of them

:44:26.:44:29.

I feel really bad, on my part, because there is not really a lot

:44:30.:44:35.

But with raising awareness, I think we can conquer

:44:36.:44:41.

Coming up, Andy Murray tablings to BBC Sport about being a father ahead

Sport. It's been a cold start to the day.

:44:59.:45:07.

We have some beautiful pictures from our weather-watchers to show you

:45:08.:45:11.

this morning. Lovely sun rise in Staffordshire.

:45:12.:45:14.

We have a beautiful start to the day here in Devon. Look at the lovely

:45:15.:45:21.

colours. This is an interesting one as well from Wiltshire, beautiful

:45:22.:45:25.

again, sun rise, a rainbow going on there as well. Lovely clear skies in

:45:26.:45:30.

Northamptonshire this morning. Different weather compared to

:45:31.:45:33.

yesterday and we still do have some lying snow this morning across

:45:34.:45:37.

County Durham, as you can see there. But lovely blue skies. The weather

:45:38.:45:41.

is quieter today compared to yesterday. Fewer showers, lighter

:45:42.:45:45.

winds, and although the temperatures are similar in value, because of the

:45:46.:45:49.

lighter winds, it won't feel as cold as it did yesterday.

:45:50.:45:58.

We have some scattered showers, a line of showers drifting towards

:45:59.:46:03.

Wales and the Midlands, the Pennines, eastern Scotland through

:46:04.:46:06.

the day, and later on you can see the next line of rain coming our way

:46:07.:46:10.

in from the West. Through the afternoon it will fringe in across

:46:11.:46:13.

the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall, the cloud will build a header that

:46:14.:46:17.

committee could see the odd shower but a game back into the sunny

:46:18.:46:22.

skies. Sunshine the parts of Wales, thicker cloud around Cardigan Bay

:46:23.:46:25.

with one or two showers, the rain moving across Northern Ireland,

:46:26.:46:31.

slower than we thought this morning. For much of Scotland it will be a

:46:32.:46:35.

dry day, could catch the odd shower in the east through the afternoon,

:46:36.:46:39.

as you could across parts of north-east England. You will be

:46:40.:46:42.

unlucky to catch one in north-west England, but we will see them across

:46:43.:46:47.

the Midlands, not all of us catching one, and a lovely afternoon across

:46:48.:46:51.

East Anglia and the south-east. From the Midlands down to the Isle of

:46:52.:46:56.

Wight, we could see the odd shower. Over the front in the West will

:46:57.:47:00.

continue to drift eastwards into tomorrow, there it is, the rain will

:47:01.:47:04.

be heavy and persistent at times, and as it engages with colder

:47:05.:47:09.

conditions overnight, it will readily fall as snow, especially on

:47:10.:47:13.

higher ground, but we could see some of that at lower levels across the

:47:14.:47:18.

North Midlands, the Pennines and northern England, south-west

:47:19.:47:20.

Scotland, Northern Ireland and North Wales as well. But it is just a risk

:47:21.:47:26.

of that snow at low levels at this stage. However, better to be aware

:47:27.:47:30.

of it, and it may have ramifications for your journey first thing

:47:31.:47:33.

tomorrow morning. As we go through the rest of the day, you can see

:47:34.:47:39.

that we have got this cloud, it is a weather front producing the rain and

:47:40.:47:43.

also the snow. As temperatures rise through the course of the day, the

:47:44.:47:46.

snow level will as well further into the hills, you can see it coming

:47:47.:47:51.

across Wales. I had fact, some sunshine, behind it a mixture of

:47:52.:47:55.

sunshine and showers, some of the showers will be wintry in nature. As

:47:56.:48:00.

we head into Saturday, a northerly or north-easterly wind will it feel

:48:01.:48:04.

cold, we will eventually lose the rain from the south-east, then a day

:48:05.:48:08.

of sunshine and showers, some of the showers wintry again, and into

:48:09.:48:12.

Sunday similar in the sense that it will be called within northerly

for a win at Anfield goes on. Sometimes you have a bad night like

today and it is difficult to play. But we need to be positive, we need

to be positive, improved. I believe we were really unlucky in our

finishing, really unlucky as well with some decisions today, and on

top of that we had two macro shots on target in the whole game. If you

I always wanted to become a parent, and it's been everything that I've

:54:26.:54:33.

imagined so far. It's been great, and I said the other day, obviously,

:54:34.:54:40.

I want to try to be a good dad, the best that I can be, and when she

:54:41.:54:45.

grows up I would also like her to be proud of her death as well, so I'll

:54:46.:54:49.

be trying my best to do that on and off the court -- to be proud of her

:54:50.:54:53.

dad as well. How's this as a way

:54:54.:54:56.

bit of that form, out injured at the moment, but a hole in one from that

these teenagers come off social media? Surely they can live without

bbc.co.uk/victoria. Setting up a fake social media

:56:13.:56:15.

profile could result in criminal charges according to new guidance

:56:16.:56:19.

being considered for prosecutors. The Crown Prosecution Service

:56:20.:56:21.

believes the change will allow tougher action against those

:56:22.:56:25.

who pose as someone else online with the purpose of threatening

:56:26.:56:28.

or harassing others. This is the latest in a series

:56:29.:56:33.

of changes to guidelines for prosecutors, with the aim

:56:34.:56:41.

of keeping them up-to-date A little earlier this morning

:56:42.:56:43.

I spoke to Alison Saunders, So adults should be charged

:56:44.:56:47.

in future if they use fake social media IDs to harass someone

:56:48.:56:52.

or to cause them harm. The guidance that we've just

:56:53.:56:55.

introduced for consultation says that the prosecutors really must

:56:56.:57:02.

have more awareness of what might go on on the internet, in cases

:57:03.:57:08.

where people use and set up false addresses, false e-mail

:57:09.:57:14.

identities or Facebook pages If they use that for

:57:15.:57:21.

criminal offences, then that means we can

:57:22.:57:24.

prosecute them. So if they use it to harass people,

:57:25.:57:26.

if they use it to, perhaps... We have seen cases where they put

:57:27.:57:30.

out online images, which might cause harassment or alarm or distress

:57:31.:57:33.

to the victims, those are the sorts of cases that we can look at now,

:57:34.:57:37.

and use the legislation So has there been

:57:38.:57:40.

a loophole until now? The guidelines are really

:57:41.:57:43.

about different ways in which criminality is committed,

:57:44.:57:45.

making sure that prosecutors are aware that they should be

:57:46.:57:48.

looking at both online There are new offences,

:57:49.:57:54.

so the revenge pornography offence, that very much allows us to use

:57:55.:57:57.

the evidence from the internet. Likewise, in domestic abuse,

:57:58.:58:00.

coercive and controlling behaviour, So can you give us some examples

:58:01.:58:02.

of cases where this hasn't been a factor, where it probably should

:58:03.:58:10.

have done, or could have been? We have had cases where people have

:58:11.:58:15.

set up false identities They have pretended, for example,

:58:16.:58:17.

that they were an au pair, in one case, and befriended other

:58:18.:58:23.

women on the internet, then when they have arrived to meet,

:58:24.:58:27.

having been persuaded to do so by the au pair,

:58:28.:58:30.

discovered it was a man. He persuaded them to get

:58:31.:58:33.

into the car, by saying he was their Facebook friend's

:58:34.:58:37.

friend, and then drove them So lots of examples where people

:58:38.:58:40.

have been groomed online, and then when they've met people,

:58:41.:58:43.

and they were not who Likewise, we've had people who set

:58:44.:58:46.

up false identities in order to post pictures of,

:58:47.:59:06.

normally, ex-partners, in order to cause them

:59:07.:59:07.

distress and alarm as well, embarrassment with their friends

:59:08.:59:10.

and family and work colleagues. In the first example you give,

:59:11.:59:12.

if somebody is ultimately raped, then there is a clear crime

:59:13.:59:14.

there that can be prosecuted anyway. So why does this bring an added

:59:15.:59:17.

element to a prosecution in a case This brings an added element,

:59:18.:59:21.

because it may be that they don't get to that end state,

:59:22.:59:25.

so we can still have If it is harassment,

:59:26.:59:27.

we can prosecute them for harassment So it is about prosecutors really

:59:28.:59:31.

being aware of all the different ways in which offending

:59:32.:59:35.

might be committed. In some cases, it will just be

:59:36.:59:36.

the pure internet conduct that we are able to use,

:59:37.:59:41.

and of course what it does is gives us very good evidence,

:59:42.:59:44.

because there is a footprint left on the internet, which we

:59:45.:59:46.

can use as evidence. And what sort of sentences

:59:47.:59:49.

could be used in cases It very much depends

:59:50.:59:51.

on the type of offending, so in some of the cases

:59:52.:59:55.

where we have seen revenge pornography, people

:59:56.:59:58.

have gone to prison. In other cases where we have

:59:59.:00:03.

seen harassment, again, it depends on the severity of that,

:00:04.:00:08.

but it could be an imprisonable offence, so this is serious conduct

:00:09.:00:11.

that we are talking about. The reason, obviously,

:00:12.:00:14.

that people set up fake social media identities is so that people

:00:15.:00:16.

don't know who they are. What you are talking about is,

:00:17.:00:18.

at the end, when someone has been caught and they are prosecuted,

:00:19.:00:22.

are you confident that there are the resources in place

:00:23.:00:24.

to actually get to that stage? Yes, the investigators,

:00:25.:00:28.

the police have got trained specialists that can work

:00:29.:00:37.

with internet companies We can use that evidence,

:00:38.:00:38.

and sometimes people use it not so much to hide their identity,

:00:39.:00:42.

but to draw people to their website. So if I pretend to be you,

:00:43.:00:45.

then there would be more people that would look at your Facebook page

:00:46.:00:49.

or Twitter account than mine. And you can hijack it by using it

:00:50.:00:53.

to post pictures that might cause You've said that children should

:00:54.:00:56.

rarely be prosecuted, because of their lack

:00:57.:00:59.

of adult judgment. How would you define the age

:01:00.:01:03.

from which somebody should certainly be prosecuted, an age

:01:04.:01:05.

where perhaps they shouldn't be, and also how clear is

:01:06.:01:08.

the guidance in that area? The Code tells the prosecutors to

:01:09.:01:29.

look at the individual and their maturity, exactly how much they knew

:01:30.:01:32.

that they were doing, so, for example, if you have got a very

:01:33.:01:36.

mature 12-year-old, that might be very different from an immature

:01:37.:01:39.

15-year-old, so it really does depend on the individual case.

:01:40.:01:58.

And what sort of sentences could be used in cases

:01:59.:02:02.

It very much depends on the type of offending,

:02:03.:02:06.

so in some of the cases where we have seen revenge

:02:07.:02:09.

pornography, people have gone to prison.

:02:10.:02:10.

In other cases where we have seen harassment, again,

:02:11.:02:13.

it depends on the severity of that, but it could be an imprisonable

:02:14.:02:16.

offence, so this is serious conduct that we are talking about.

:02:17.:02:18.

The reason, obviously, that people set up fake social media

:02:19.:02:21.

identities is so that people don't know who they are.

:02:22.:02:23.

What you are talking about is, at the end, when someone has been

:02:24.:02:26.

caught and they are prosecuted, are you confident that there

:02:27.:02:30.

are the resources in place to actually get to that stage?

:02:31.:02:33.

Yes, the investigators, the police have got trained

:02:34.:02:35.

specialists that can work with internet companies

:02:36.:02:38.

We can use that evidence, and sometimes people use it not

:02:39.:02:42.

so much to hide their identity, but to draw people to their website.

:02:43.:02:45.

So if I pretend to be you, then there would be more people that

:02:46.:02:48.

would look at your Facebook page or Twitter account than mine.

:02:49.:02:51.

And you can hijack it by using it to post pictures that might cause

:02:52.:02:54.

You've said that children should rarely be prosecuted,

:02:55.:02:57.

because of their lack of adult judgment.

:02:58.:03:18.

I think sometimes people don't recognise what they do online is an

:03:19.:03:23.

offence because it's so quick and immediate.

:03:24.:03:34.

You perhaps don't know, so perhaps this will deter people. I want to

:03:35.:03:41.

ask you about the impact of the criminal justice system on victims

:03:42.:03:45.

because it's a subject often discussed, victims say they feel

:03:46.:03:48.

they are treated as criminals themselves when they have to go

:03:49.:03:51.

through that process. Yesterday, we had the case of Adam Johnson and the

:03:52.:03:55.

victim in that case has said that she's gone through the worst year of

:03:56.:04:00.

her life, she always felt people wouldn't believe her, people didn't

:04:01.:04:04.

believe her, she then goes through a trial where the defence case is that

:04:05.:04:08.

he is a man who should be believed and she is lying. Is that an

:04:09.:04:13.

inevitable part of a criminal prosecution or are there ways that

:04:14.:04:17.

the system could be changed to make things a bit easier for victims,

:04:18.:04:21.

taking into account the sensitivities?

:04:22.:04:27.

Certainly there are ways in which we have tried to change

:04:28.:04:30.

the system to make it easier for victims.

:04:31.:04:33.

So I issued a guidance for prosecutors late last year,

:04:34.:04:36.

and we have had some pilots going on about talking to victims

:04:37.:04:39.

and witnesses before they give evidence, to make sure

:04:40.:04:43.

that they understand what might happen, put them at their ease

:04:44.:04:46.

as much as we possibly can, and making sure that prosecutors

:04:47.:04:48.

are very aware that victims don't want to be in that situation.

:04:49.:04:51.

So they haven't chosen to be in the criminal justice system,

:04:52.:04:54.

they are there because of something that has happened to them,

:04:55.:04:56.

and making sure that we are as empathetic as possible.

:04:57.:04:59.

There are rules in the court room, it is an adversarial system,

:05:00.:05:02.

so it is the defence's right to be able to challenge the evidence,

:05:03.:05:05.

but there are now many more ways in which judges intervene to make

:05:06.:05:08.

sure that the experience is not as bad as it could be,

:05:09.:05:11.

so what we used to see years ago, haranguing cross-examination that

:05:12.:05:13.

went on for days on end, that actually no longer happens.

:05:14.:05:16.

The judges have the ability to, and do, control

:05:17.:05:18.

the cross-examination to try and make it as easy as it possibly

:05:19.:05:21.

But the trial process is questioning their evidence

:05:22.:05:25.

and putting the defence case, so we have got lots of ways

:05:26.:05:29.

in which we can help victims through that, special measures,

:05:30.:05:31.

they can go behind screens, or from a remote video link,

:05:32.:05:35.

talk to the applicant beforehand, but at the end of the day

:05:36.:05:42.

Talk to the advocate beforehand, but at the end of the day, it's the

:05:43.:05:46.

defence's right to challenge the defendants.

:05:47.:05:47.

New guidance being considered for prosecutors. Let's talk more about

:05:48.:06:03.

that with Ellie Flynn, a victim of cat fishing. Her name and photograph

:06:04.:06:07.

were stolen by someone and used to set up fake profiles on dating and

:06:08.:06:11.

social media sites. Thanks for joining us. Tell us what happened?

:06:12.:06:16.

It started years ago when we were at school and I noticed that there was

:06:17.:06:22.

a fake profile starting up using photographs of my friends and I and

:06:23.:06:29.

it just went on for years and years and developed on different social

:06:30.:06:33.

media accounts. How did you realise your pictures were being used?

:06:34.:06:38.

Someone messaged me on Facebook saying, there's an account using

:06:39.:06:43.

your photos and I received a number of messages going back years ago

:06:44.:06:48.

saying either accusing me of being a fake profile and being someone that

:06:49.:06:53.

they knew or saying someone's using your photos, so it was a mixture of

:06:54.:06:58.

the two that flagged them up. What was being done with your photos?

:06:59.:07:03.

They were just posted on to Facebook accounts, MySpace accounts, more

:07:04.:07:07.

recently Instagram accounts, saying, with a name Ellie and the surname

:07:08.:07:13.

was Rose, saying just, just pretending to be me. So somebody

:07:14.:07:18.

trying to attract followers to connect with but using your picture

:07:19.:07:22.

as the image that they were portraying to the world. I think

:07:23.:07:24.

we've lost you unfortunately. Can you still hear us? I can still hear

:07:25.:07:29.

you. You've come back, it's a poor connection for a moment. So it was

:07:30.:07:35.

somebody using your image to put across an appealing image to people

:07:36.:07:38.

that they wanted to connect with. Do you know who was behind these sites?

:07:39.:07:44.

I have no idea. I spoke to whoever is behind it recently via one of the

:07:45.:07:48.

fake accounts about a year ago and she said she was a girl who went to

:07:49.:07:54.

school with me in a younger year but whether that's true, I don't know.

:07:55.:07:58.

It didn't narrow it down. I have no idea. How did it impact on you?

:07:59.:08:06.

Well, it was really scary and there was occasions when someone who'd

:08:07.:08:11.

spoken to the fake account would see me in real life and it would be

:08:12.:08:15.

someone I didn't know and they would approach me and I would be like,

:08:16.:08:19.

sorry I don't know who you are, and then it was just really strange,

:08:20.:08:23.

they'd perhaps either be rude because they thought I was lying or

:08:24.:08:26.

it makes you realise the Internet's not as big as you think it is, that

:08:27.:08:30.

these people, you can bump into them in real life and it's really scary.

:08:31.:08:34.

Did you do anything to try to get the sites taken down? Did you speak

:08:35.:08:42.

to people? Yes, we spoke to people who told us to block them, Facebook

:08:43.:08:46.

removed them and whoever was behind it would set up a new account with

:08:47.:08:50.

the photos again and block us so that we weren't able to find them. I

:08:51.:08:57.

also spoke to a local police officer, going back probably six

:08:58.:09:02.

years ago, who took down notes but wasn't really able to do anything. I

:09:03.:09:08.

spoke to a lawyer more recently who said that they were not sure whether

:09:09.:09:11.

there was any real legislation on what you can do about it, so... So

:09:12.:09:17.

now there is this change in guidelines that the Crown

:09:18.:09:19.

Prosecution Service is talking about that could see people prosecuted for

:09:20.:09:23.

setting up fake social media accounts. What do you think about

:09:24.:09:27.

that? Yes, I think that's a really good thing. I think even if it just

:09:28.:09:30.

works as a deterrent, stopping people from setting up the accounts

:09:31.:09:35.

in the first place, and then also when it's, specially a profile

:09:36.:09:39.

that's gone on for a long period of time or something that's become

:09:40.:09:45.

really scary for whoever photos they have used, that something can be

:09:46.:09:48.

done to get them removed and find out whoever is behind it and make

:09:49.:09:51.

them responsible. Thank you very much, Ellie.

:09:52.:10:04.

Coming up, what is it like to live in Raqqa?

:10:05.:10:12.

Still to come before 11: A warning from France as a Government minister

:10:13.:10:15.

suggest migrants could be allowed to cross the Channel if the UK

:10:16.:10:18.

We'll have the latest on the migrant crisis.

:10:19.:10:23.

A French government minister is warning his country could allow

:10:24.:10:25.

migrants to travel unchecked to the UK, if Britain votes to leave

:10:26.:10:28.

Emmanuel Macron said an exit vote in the June referendum could end

:10:29.:10:32.

a deal allowing Britain to vet new arrivals on French territory.

:10:33.:10:35.

The comments come as David Cameron prepares to meet the French

:10:36.:10:37.

President Francois Hollande to discuss the migrant

:10:38.:10:39.

The Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin, is dismissing the idea

:10:40.:10:42.

Surprise surprise, we pay a great deal of money into the EU and it

:10:43.:10:46.

subsidises a great deal of French farming.

:10:47.:10:48.

Surprise surprise, they don't want us to leave the EU.

:10:49.:10:50.

But this is a choice for the British people,

:10:51.:10:53.

not for the French government, and actually we're being asked

:10:54.:10:55.

to believe all sorts of ludicrous things.

:10:56.:10:58.

Our correspondent Anna Holligan is in Calais.

:10:59.:11:02.

Anna, explain more about what it might mean if Britain leave the EU?

:11:03.:11:10.

We are in the heart of the Jungle in Calais. David Cameron has warned if

:11:11.:11:16.

Britain were to leave the EU, all of this, the 4,000 people or so camped

:11:17.:11:20.

out here could move over to Dover. The comments on the front-page of

:11:21.:11:23.

the Financial Times this morning from the French Economy Minister

:11:24.:11:26.

appear to have backed up those claims. He says that, if Britain

:11:27.:11:32.

votes in favour of Brexit, it could bring an end to this agreement which

:11:33.:11:37.

allows Britain to conduct a border control on the French side of the

:11:38.:11:41.

channel. So these will be encouraging words for David Cameron

:11:42.:11:47.

ahead of these talks taking place here in France.

:11:48.:11:49.

organisation go anywhere near so-called Islamic

:12:09.:12:11.

State controlled areas. But there are a number of activist

:12:12.:12:13.

groups which manage to smuggle information to the outside world

:12:14.:12:17.

at huge risk to their own lives. One activist based in Raqqa,

:12:18.:12:20.

the capital of the so-called Islamic State controlled territory,

:12:21.:12:23.

has been keeping a series of diaries for the Today programme

on Radio 4 which we've been We've changed names and some details

:12:28.:12:29.

and had his words are spoken for him We thought we'd finished our

:12:30.:12:34.

compulsory sharia course, but then we heard we would still

:12:35.:12:50.

:12:51.:12:53.

is why so many of Raqqa's My friend didn't show

up for the lesson. When a Daesh guy demanded

to know where he was, We later heard that they had raided

:13:02.:13:03.

his home, but he wasn't there. We have now finished the week-long

:13:04.:13:08.

course and we have officially entered Islam,

:13:09.:13:11.

as born-again Muslims. The next day I walked to work

:13:12.:13:12.

with confident strides. A Daesh man stopped me and asked

:13:13.:13:15.

if I had done my dawn prayers. "Yes, of course", but he clearly

:13:16.:13:18.

thought I was lying. "Which bit of the Koran

:13:19.:13:22.

have you read?" I was saved when a woman

:13:23.:13:26.

who wasn't covering her eyes I carried on as quickly

:13:27.:13:28.

as I could to the shop where I work. But things got worse when I walked

:13:29.:13:38.

through the door. I was told that two men had come

:13:39.:13:40.

to the shop, and asked where I was. I started to panic, and my hands

:13:41.:13:44.

began to shake. "I don't know, but one of them

:13:45.:13:47.

was carrying a gun." Was I going to be lashed, or sent

:13:48.:13:56.

to fight for Daesh front line? My first thought was to run away,

:13:57.:13:59.

but I knew they would soon I spent the whole day thinking

:14:00.:14:02.

about the two men, and what might happen, but nobody came to get me,

:14:03.:14:07.

and as soon as the shop closed, "What's wrong with you?",

:14:08.:14:10.

my mother asked, "why do I kept thinking how my mother

:14:11.:14:14.

would react if Daesh came to my home She kept asking what was worrying

:14:15.:14:24.

me, but I wouldn't say. I didn't sleep all night,

:14:25.:14:30.

and I don't think my In the morning, I left early,

:14:31.:14:34.

and headed to the shop to open up. I would rather they take me away

:14:35.:14:39.

from there than in front A tall, armed man came in,

:14:40.:14:42.

and I thought, this is it, but he smiled and told me

:14:43.:14:47.

not to look so worried. The news wasn't so good

:14:48.:14:49.

about my friend. He had been sentenced to death

:14:50.:14:52.

for missing the sharia class. Thankfully, the man in front

:14:53.:14:56.

of me had warned him, and he had run away

:14:57.:15:00.

before Daesh got to him. In the evening, I went to visit

:15:01.:15:04.

Mohamed, who is nearer my We sat down together,

:15:05.:15:09.

and I asked him if he could help me deal with the desperate

:15:10.:15:15.

situation we are in. He told me, "live your life

:15:16.:15:17.

without considering the present. Imagine you are walking on a rope

:15:18.:15:20.

between two mountains, the present is the ground below,

:15:21.:15:24.

walk straight ahead and focus only on crossing the mountain,

:15:25.:15:28.

never look down." From now on, I will take his advice

:15:29.:15:31.

and try to keep walking straight ahead until I reach

:15:32.:15:36.

the other mountain. When I get there,

:15:37.:15:38.

the present will be gone. That film was produced by the artist

:15:39.:15:47.

and animator Scott Coello for Radio 4's Today programme -

illegal economic migrants. Wherever you are from. Do not come to Europe.

The Government has said it will end the iPlayer loopholes so that those

:18:12.:18:17.

watching catch-up TV do not get away with not paying the license fee.

:18:18.:18:20.

Let's talk more about this. At the moment you don't have to pay but it

:18:21.:18:25.

might change? About 1 million people exploit this

:18:26.:18:28.

iPlayer loophole, so they watch their favourite programmes on catch

:18:29.:18:34.

up on iPlayer but don't pay the ?145.50 licence fee. It is a huge

:18:35.:18:38.

source of frustration at the corporation, not only can they pick

:18:39.:18:42.

and choose the shows like Sherlock Holmes or Great British Bake Off, or

:18:43.:18:46.

East Enders, but you can watch more less live TV watch pretty much the

it will cost the BBC about ?100 million a year, the equivalent of

:18:58.:19:01.

700,000 people not paying the license fee. What can be done? The

:19:02.:19:06.

culture secretary in a wide-ranging speech about the BBC yesterday said,

:19:07.:19:11.

when the licence fee was invented, video on demand did not exist but

:19:12.:19:14.

the BBC works on a basis that all who watch it pay for it, so they

:19:15.:19:19.

will rush through legislation to close the loophole as soon as

:19:20.:19:28.

possible, possibly as early as the summer, then it will become a

:19:29.:19:31.

criminal offence to not pay it. The most obvious way it will work is to

:19:32.:19:34.

have some kind of password or code, but there are complex issues, said

And one 11 year old stole the show with the inaugural shot

:20:38.:20:42.

at the opening of a new golf course co-designed by Tiger Woods.

:20:43.:20:45.

South Texas PGA junior Taylor Crozier shot a hole in one,

:20:46.:20:47.

Survive by eating the flesh of your dead friends or die.

:20:48.:20:59.

That was the decision faced by 19-year-old medical student

:21:00.:21:05.

Dr Roberto Canessa when the plane that was carrying him

:21:06.:21:08.

and his Uruguayan rugby team crashed into the Andes in 1972.

:21:09.:21:13.

Out of the 45 people on board the flight,

:21:14.:21:15.

12 were killed in the crash, six died in the next few days,

:21:16.:21:19.

and 11 more perished due to the lack of food and harsh

:21:20.:21:21.

Those who were left ate the bodies of the dead in order to have any

:21:22.:21:26.

chance of living long enough to be rescued.

:21:27.:21:29.

Miraculously, 16 people did survive and were found more than two months

:21:30.:21:32.

later, after Dr Canessa and another man, Nando Parrado,

:21:33.:21:43.

trekked across the mountains for 10 days looking for help.

:21:44.:21:45.

40 years on, Dr Canessa is a successful cardiologist

:21:46.:21:47.

who specializes in heart surgery on infants and unborn babies,

:21:48.:21:50.

and he's written a book, I Had To Survive: How A Plane Crash

:21:51.:21:53.

In The Andes Inspired My Calling To Save Lives, which has

:21:54.:21:56.

Speaking exclusively in his first UK broadcast interview,

:21:57.:22:01.

Dr Roberto Canessa is in our Philadelphia studio.

:22:02.:22:07.

Thank you very much for joining us. Good morning, how are you? Very

:22:08.:22:18.

well, it is great to have you on the programme. The book is entitled, I

:22:19.:22:24.

Had To Survive And Will Toggle, And The First Line Is, What Is The Line

:22:25.:22:28.

Between Life And Death? Is That Something You Are Also always aware

:22:29.:22:37.

of? When I was lying in the mountings and I could see my dead

:22:38.:22:42.

friends, I was aware that I was the next one in the queue, I realised

:22:43.:22:46.

how fragile was the line between life and death. From that time on I

:22:47.:22:51.

have been around life and death all my life and it is a way of enjoying

:22:52.:22:58.

life more, the shore. Take us back to December 1972, you were a young

:22:59.:23:02.

man, a privileged young man, heading off on a plane that had been

:23:03.:23:06.

chartered to take you, friends, family, Team-Mates, to watch a rugby

:23:07.:23:12.

match. Prior to that moment when you boarded the plane, your life was

:23:13.:23:17.

heading in one path, and everything changed on that day? Yes, very

:23:18.:23:26.

abruptly. We were flying over the Andes mountains, it was very cloudy

:23:27.:23:31.

so we couldn't see the mountains, and very soon, maybe too soon, one

:23:32.:23:36.

of the flight assistants came around and said, OK, guys, put on the seat

:23:37.:23:40.

belts, we are going to cross some clouds and the plane is going to

:23:41.:23:47.

shake. It did begin shaking, we began fooling around, rugby players,

:23:48.:23:50.

and there was a lady in the front seat who said, Roberto, shut up, my

:23:51.:23:59.

children are scared with this. At the same time someone look through

:24:00.:24:02.

the window and said, we are flying too close to the mountains. At that

:24:03.:24:07.

moment, the plane tried to catch altitude and just hit the mountain

:24:08.:24:12.

and when it hit the mountain I said, Roberto, you are dead. The only

:24:13.:24:15.

thing you can look forward to is death, so I just grabbed my seat

:24:16.:24:20.

very, very strongly, the plane lost the tail, lost both wings and began

:24:21.:24:24.

sliding at great speed through the side of the mountain. Some guys were

:24:25.:24:30.

praying, saying, God, I don't want to die, I was praying the Hail Mary.

:24:31.:24:36.

As we finished the Hail Mary, the few Cilic struck and I was thrown

:24:37.:24:41.

with incredible force against a front wall -- the fuselage, and I

:24:42.:24:48.

had a huge blow on my head, and as I was thinking I couldn't believe the

:24:49.:24:52.

plane had stopped and I was seeing my legs were there, my head was

:24:53.:24:56.

there, my arms were there, I had survived. I couldn't believe that. I

:24:57.:25:00.

looked around, it was a mess, some friends were killed, some were

:25:01.:25:04.

injured, I said, I have to get out of the way, the police are going to

:25:05.:25:08.

come, the ambulance will be here, the firemen, so I turned back to the

:25:09.:25:12.

tail of the plane where the door was and the plane had broken, literally

:25:13.:25:19.

broken, and when I went out and step in the snow I felt very, very sad

:25:20.:25:24.

because we were in the middle of the mountains, there was a huge silent

:25:25.:25:28.

around us, no firemen, no help, nothing, and my friends were

:25:29.:25:32.

injured, some bleeding, some had pieces of metal in their stomach,

:25:33.:25:35.

and I thought, this is not happening, I must rewind and go back

:25:36.:25:42.

to reality, but that was reality, so someone said of the pilot is alive.

:25:43.:25:48.

We rushed into the cabin and he was trapped because all of the controls

:25:49.:25:55.

from the plane were pressing his chest, and he was saying, we passed

:25:56.:26:03.

Greco, he was in a state because he thought he was in the Chilean side,

:26:04.:26:09.

but we were in the mountains, but we could not move him because his legs

:26:10.:26:15.

were trapped so he said, give me my suitcase, I have my gun, he wanted

:26:16.:26:18.

to shoot in self and maybe that would be the best because he

:26:19.:26:25.

suffered agony and all that, we could not get him out of there. How

:26:26.:26:30.

quickly did your survival instinct kicked in? Well, from the first

:26:31.:26:37.

moment. I think people are very diverse and can have different

:26:38.:26:41.

attitudes. The first thing was to help my friends, one of them said,

:26:42.:26:45.

look at my leg, and his leg was turned sideways so we just clicked

:26:46.:26:48.

it in and said, leave it there, we are going to be rescued baby soon.

:26:49.:26:54.

We went to the captain of the team, he was devastated because he

:26:55.:26:57.

organised the trip. Another guy had a piece of metal in his stomach that

:26:58.:27:02.

we took out, and said, how do you feel? He said, I think it is OK.

:27:03.:27:10.

Another guy said, I am the president of Uruguay, I have immunity, no one

:27:11.:27:16.

touches me. People can be very diverse, one of my friend said,

:27:17.:27:21.

Roberto, this is a tragedy. We would be touching the pulses in the neck

:27:22.:27:25.

to say who is alive and who is dead. But everything was towards waiting

:27:26.:27:30.

for the rescue because the moment I hear screams that someone is coming

:27:31.:27:34.

towards the plane, he was ten metres apart, literally swallowed by the

:27:35.:27:37.

snow, so we thought that the snow would be very dangerous to go too

:27:38.:27:41.

far from the plane, so lots of things were going simultaneously,

:27:42.:27:46.

and then the cold tractors, the freezing temperature, the night came

:27:47.:27:53.

on, we had to get into the fuselage of the plane, we were trapped there,

:27:54.:27:58.

some people were crying, some people were quarrelling, I remember that

:27:59.:28:02.

Nando Parrado, my buddy, had a very swollen head, we left him with his

:28:03.:28:11.

head in the snow, 30 years later I discovered that was the best

:28:12.:28:18.

treatment for the week the Redeemer, it was life-saving for him -- brain

:28:19.:28:32.

swelling. There was so much suffering, the pain was unbearable.

:28:33.:28:40.

Things begin slowly to get into this new organisation, we had to make

:28:41.:28:51.

water with the metal backs of the seat, drop by drop you would get

:28:52.:28:56.

water, you would be someone with a bottle and say, what are you doing,

:28:57.:28:59.

are you going to drink it by yourself? You realise how human

:29:00.:29:09.

beings materially have nothing and spiritually compensate and become

:29:10.:29:13.

stronger in solidarity and the relation to God changes dramatically

:29:14.:29:21.

because someone is saying, no, you shouldn't cheat, you shouldn't like,

:29:22.:29:29.

you shouldn't steel, and when you look at this guy saying, God, help

:29:30.:29:33.

me, it is a different kind of God, you are shoulder and shoulder. You

:29:34.:29:44.

crossed the line in the end that most people find, obviously, just

:29:45.:29:47.

extraordinary, that you were in a situation and ended up having to eat

:29:48.:29:53.

the flesh of your fellow passengers who had died. At what stage did you

:29:54.:29:57.

realise that was the only way you were going to survive? Well, at the

:29:58.:30:05.

beginning, we ate all the toothpaste and creams for the women, over the

:30:06.:30:11.

tree line was only rocks and no, nothing to eat, and you become very,

:30:12.:30:18.

very hungry and there is an instinct inside yourself that tells you you

:30:19.:30:22.

have to eat something. We thought about the letter of the shoes and

:30:23.:30:25.

the belt, we began chewing the shoes and the letter of the belts, but we

:30:26.:30:29.

felt it was poisoning us because it has lots of chemicals, so there was

:30:30.:30:34.

nothing, we were dying, and someone said, I think I'm going crazy

:30:35.:30:37.

because I'm thinking of beating the dead bodies of our friends, and a

:30:38.:30:43.

couple said, no, this is crazy, we are not going to become cannibals,

:30:44.:30:47.

for sure, this is not the way we should go. I was a second-year

:30:48.:30:53.

medical student and I saw flesh, fat, proteins, I had studied the

:30:54.:31:03.

cycle and knew that from protein you could go to carbohydrates, so the

:31:04.:31:10.

fuel was OK. It was difficult to invade my friends' privacy and cut

:31:11.:31:14.

off pieces of the bodies. I felt it was in some way rape being banned,

:31:15.:31:23.

but some would say, Jesus Christ, the Last Supper, take my flesh and

:31:24.:31:26.

my blood is OK, but for me was the last supper. But I thought, what if

:31:27.:31:31.

I had been one of the dead bodies here? I would be proud that my body

:31:32.:31:36.

had been used by my friends as a live project, so nowadays I fear I

:31:37.:31:45.

have a piece of them in myself, not literally but spiritually, and I

:31:46.:31:50.

have to do is give gratitude to the memory. The incredible thing is, you

:31:51.:31:54.

don't want to eat a piece because you don't want to have the

:31:55.:32:04.

humiliation, any time I think this was an human experiment, there was a

:32:05.:32:09.

guinea pig there, we have helped people to get out of the mountains,

:32:10.:32:16.

but I said, why should I swallowed this piece, then I remembered my

:32:17.:32:20.

mother had told me, if one of his sons would die he wouldn't -- if one

:32:21.:32:26.

of her sons would die, she would die of sadness. I ate a piece and

:32:27.:32:29.

nothing happened. It became very common to eat dead bodies, it is

:32:30.:32:37.

funny because on this story I think there are two versions, one in which

:32:38.:32:43.

eating the dead bodies was not the toughest part, and when people

:32:44.:32:51.

mention this tragedy they say, oh, you were the guys that were saved

:32:52.:32:56.

because you ate the dead bodies? As if it were some magical formula, you

:32:57.:33:00.

swallow a piece and you would get out of there. But eating dead bodies

:33:01.:33:02.

was only buying

:33:03.:33:04.
