Hello, it's 9am, I'm Victoria Derbyshire - | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
The banking regulator calls for a cap on overdraft fees | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
and warnings to customers before they go overdrawn. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
He went missing six years ago from his home in Kent, | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
and is one of thousands of people who disappear each year. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
We'll bring you an update on 31-year-old Matthew Green, | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
whose story we brought you before Christmas. | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
I just said, have a good weekend. Don't leave it too late on Sunday, | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
getting back. Bingeing on alcohol, overdosing | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
on painkillers and illegal drugs - all part of a worrying rise | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
in children deliberately We talk to two people | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
who used to self-poison. Do get in touch on all the stories | :00:56. | :01:09. | |
we're talking about this morning - If you text, you will be charged | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
at the standard network rate. After the Hillsborough inquests | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
and pressure for a new investigation into what happened between police | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
and miners at Orgreave, should police officers be forced out | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
of retirement to answer questions And we'll talk about young mums | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
who say they have been discriminated against at work | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
because they were pregnant - Or did they make your | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
job more difficult? And we'll being talking live | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
to Jamala, who took the Eurovision crown | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
for Ukraine on Saturday. It is our first British TV | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
interview. Banks should be required to cap | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
the amount they charge customers That's the recommendation | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
from the Competition It's proposing a maximum | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
monthly charge as part of a solution to tackle problems | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
with current accounts. In 2014, banks made ?1.2 billion | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
from those penalty fees. To announce what is the maximum they | :02:06. | :02:24. | |
will charge in any month to a customer or using an arranged | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
overdraft so that customers not only get some as you read of what is the | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
most they campaign but also get a warning about the fact that | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
overdrafts can get very costly, and we also want banks to send messages | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
to customers when they are in danger of going into overdraft so they can | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
do their best to avoid being hit by high overdraft charges. We think | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
that a lot can be done to reduce the charges that bank customers at the | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
moment pay for an arranged overdrafts. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
We will talk more about that later in the programme. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Joanna is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
Police have voiced concerns that unarmed officers could be "sitting | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
ducks" in the event of a gun attack by terrorists. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
The main police union says that in spite of plans to increase | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
the number of firearms staff, officers at strategic sites such | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
as oil refineries and nuclear power stations in rural and coastal areas | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
The attacks in Paris last November sparked a rethink | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
130 people died and hundreds more were wounded when militants launched | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
They used Kalashnikov assault rifles and explosive belts. | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
It prompted the UK Government to pay for 1000 more police firearms | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
In addition, local forces will fund 500 from existing police budgets. | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
But the Police Federation still doesn't believe armed units | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
will be able to respond quickly enough to an attack | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
That is where some of the country's key energy and power | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Following events in Paris and Brussels, they are concerned. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
They do feel vulnerable, that they will be sitting ducks | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
in the event of a terrorist atrocity in this country. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
The Federation is also concerned the recruitment drive will create | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
a gap in the front line as armed officers transfer | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
from uniformed roles, neighbourhood policing and CID. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
The National Police Chiefs' Council says mobilising firearms | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
officers is a challenge, but it says police would have | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
support from the army, and is discussing plans for military | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
helicopters to fly police firearms units to the scene of an attack. | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
Out campaigner Nigel Farage says he'll campaign for a second | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
referendum on the UK staying in the European Union | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
He says a scenario like 52% to 48% would mean that the UK's | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
place in Europe remains 'unfinished business'. | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
This has led to questions about whether or not he feels | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
the Leave side could actually come out on top. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
But this morning he was maintaining his optimism. | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
I think we are going to win this referendum. Why? Because there is | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
far more passion on the Leeds side of the argument, leave voters are | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
more likely to go down to the primary schools and vote on the 23rd | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
so I think we are going to win. If we were to lose, narrowly, which I | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
don't think we well, if we were then what I can see is a large section | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
particularly in the Conservative Party who feel the Prime Minister is | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
not playing fair, that the Remain side are using far more money than | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
the Leave side and there would be a resentment that would build up if | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
that was to be the result. Having said that, I still think Leave is | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
going to win. Nurses and pharmacists could be | :05:55. | :05:55. | |
trained to cover growing gaps in junior doctors' rotas, | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
as part of proposals from the health It says this would help to create | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
a more flexible workforce, Unions say there is no substitute | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
for an experienced doctor. We are going to do Kate's blood | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
pressure today... Once, a check-up like this | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
would have been performed by a highly-trained | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
nurse or even a doctor, but in Bradford, after careful | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
training, healthcare assistants, who might help wash patients, | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
are taking on a bigger role, meaning nurses can concentrate on those | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
in need with more urgent care. I benefit with new skills, | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
I have broadened skills I have and I have more | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
confidence with patients. We have more time to build a better | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
relationship with them and give them things | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
while they are here so they don't have to go to other places | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
where they're not sure of going. The report today says developing | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
skills among staff is vital Examples include support workers, | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
like care assistants, Nurses, physios and paramedics can | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
be trained to manage chronic long-term conditions, | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
and in some hospitals senior nurses are now filling gaps | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
in junior doctors' rotas, using expert knowledge | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
and taking complex decisions. When the NHS began, patients tended | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
to just have one condition and be Now, patients have many conditions | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
which need long-term care, and this means staff need new skills | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
to manage these sets of patients. Health unions have expressed some | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
doubts, arguing nurses and other staff are under enough pressure | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
already, but the report today says training the existing workforce | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
is the quickest way to bridge the growing gap between | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
what patients need and the skills and knowledge of the NHS workforce | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
which cares for them. 20 foreign ministers are meeting | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
in Vienna to discuss ways It's been undermined | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
by fighting in some areas. Several powerful explosions have | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
been detected in central Syria, in a gas field held | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
by Islamic State militants. The Syrian Observatory | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
for Human Rights says its thought IS has destroyed gas pumping | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
stations to prevent them falling Primary and secondary schools | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
in England struggling to recruit teachers spent ?821 million | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
on supply staff last year. Analysis by BBC News shows | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
the equivalent of ?168 was spent on each child to hire | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
in extra staff to cover Unions say this reflects | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
a "serious teacher recruitment and retention crisis", | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
as David Rhodes reports. If you had come to this school | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
in North Yorkshire two years ago, chances are you would not have seen | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
this, a full-time teacher in front This school was failing, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
in special measures, and spending over ?500,000 on supply teachers | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
each year, equivalent to 15% This was one of the biggest spending | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
schools in the country. A new head teacher was sent | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
in to turn things around. She replaced nearly half the staff, | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
looking overseas for new teachers. There are challenges for coastal | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
schools and recruiting to them. We have also taken the opportunity | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
to recruit overseas teachers. That has brought a different | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
dimension into the school as well. Three years ago, the amount schools | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
were spending on supply teachers to cover vacancies | :09:19. | :09:37. | |
and absences in England That increased to ?840 million, | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
although it came down Spending on supply teachers is equal | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
to 6% of England's overall The average school | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
spending ?168 per pupil. Figures for Scotland | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
and Northern Ireland are not Does the use of supply teachers | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
affect a child's education? I would certainly say I understand | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
why parents would Scarborough might look | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
like a picture postcard, but it has been hard to recruit | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
teachers to this part of the world. Unions say that reflects | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
the national trend. The Government has been unable | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
to find graduates to take up Whilst supply teachers are doing | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
a fantastic job in often difficult circumstances, | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
I believe the agencies Across England, 70% of school | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
spending on supply staff now goes through private | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
agencies like this one. The unions say these companies put | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
profits before children. A former supply teacher says | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
that is not true and her company It generally can still be | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
ringing at 10.30pm. I don't know how schools | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
would operate without us. The Government says there is no | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
teacher recruitment crisis, saying that the number and quality | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
of teachers is at a record high with the overall full-time vacancy | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
rate standing at just 0.8%. But school budgets | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
have been squeezed. As a result, when money | :11:12. | :11:12. | |
is spent on supply teachers, it means there is less | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
money to spend elsewhere. The Irish singer Sinead O'Connor has | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
been found safe and well after sparking a police alert | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
when she went missing near Chicago. The 49-year-old singer went | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
on a bike ride on Sunday, Local media reported that she had | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
been staying with friends in the Chicago suburb | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
for the past several weeks. In 2012 she said she'd suffered | :11:37. | :11:39. | |

taller than the Eiffel Tower. It has 23 swimming pools and can | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
carry can 6000 passengers. With a $1 billion price tag, | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
it's also the most expensive cruise liner ever built - | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
not surprising as it took 2500 workers more than two | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
years to finish the job. And we'll be live on board | :12:09. | :12:11. | |

stations. That's a summary of the latest BBC | :12:36. | :12:36. | |
News - more at 9.30. In the next hour we'll get | :12:37. | :12:47. | |
an update on Matthew Green - he went missing from his home | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
in Kent in 2010. He was 26 when he disappeared | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
and his parents haven't heard from him since we spoke | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
to them in December. We will get an update on his case | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
this morning. Do get in touch with us | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
throughout the morning - If you text, you will be charged | :13:00. | :13:01. | |

and the Premier League should That rearranged match | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
between Bournemouth and Manchester United will be played | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
tonight, after Sunday's match was abandoned | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
following the discovery of an imitation bomb left | :13:21. | :13:21. | |
behind by a security firm. Hundreds of Bournemouth fans will be | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
back on buses this lunchtime Marcus Rashford will be the man, | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
or rather the boy, in the spotlight. At 18, he was named in Roy Hodgson's | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
provisional England Incredible story - | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
born in Manchester, not Only made his United debut | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
in February - scored four goals in first two games, | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
hasn't even played for the England U21's but could be | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
set for his first full international He would become the second youngest | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
Englishman to go to a major tournament as Roy Hodgson decides | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
if the teenager makes his final I'm pleased that someone who has had | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
such an outstanding end to the season, a young player, a player I | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
think has obviously got a future if he can continue to develop as he has | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
developed so far, it is great to be able to include him and then there | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
is no reason, if he does exceptionally well, why he couldn't | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
knock someone off their perch. He will be hoping to do that later. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
We all know how attractive playing in the Premier League is. | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
Sheffield Wednesday are one game away from the riches that it brings, | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
they beat Brighton in the Championship play-off semi-finals. | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
Sheffield Wednesday equalised through Ross Wallace. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
Wednesday will now face Hull or Derby for a place | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
It is looking like it will be whole but they face because they lead from | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
the first leg. Now, remember the crisis that hit | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
British cycling not so long ago? It all started when Jess Varnish | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
attacked the culture within It prompted the resignation of team | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
principle Shane Sutton. Varnish - on the left here - | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
is training in Australia. she is determined to win | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
back her place on the team for Rio. She plans to meet new performance | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
director Andy Harrison. She maintains that performance | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
was not the reason she was dropped. Tyson Fury is in the headlines | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
again. He has apologised for making inappropriate remarks, again. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
It comes after an almost hour-long video was posted online. | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
He made offensive comment at the end of last day, remember. In a | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
statement committee said, anyone who knows me personally knows that I am | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
not a racist or a bigot and I hope the public accept his apology. | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
You wonder why he continues to make those comments. | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
The build up to the Olympics continues for Britain's swim team | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
who won their first medal at the European | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
Swimming Championships in London's Aquatics Centre. | :16:16. | :16:16. | |
Hannah Miley claimed silver in the Women's | :16:17. | :16:18. | |

That is all the sport for now. argument | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
Thank you very much, John. Do you know when you're | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
going overdrawn? Are you warned that you haven't | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
arranged it properly with your bank? The bank regulator the Competition | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
and Markets Authority have said this morning that the bank should warn | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
you it's going to happen. They think this and other measures | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
could save bank customers Financial commentator | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
Louise Cooper is here. Good morning. So what have they | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
actually said this morning? Well, this is provisional. This isn't | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
happening yet. They get, we get the final decision in July, August time. | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
What is interesting is a complete about turn from their previous | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
findings in October. In October they said we will not, we don't think, | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
cap overdraft charges. Now, they have said actually we will. We will | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
cap overdraft charges for a monthly amount. So it is a big very versal | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
from the competition and markets authority from the watchdog. And | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
just shows how much money banks are making from unauthorised overdrafts. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
Over ?1 billion. ?1.2 billion a year. If you have an unauthorised | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
overdraft, the watchdog reckons you could save ?153 on average per year | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
which of course, over the years, we tend to bank with the same bank for | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
many, many years, that adds up significantly. OK, so that's one | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
thing they are recommending, the caps on the charges if we go | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
overdrawn and we haven't arranged it properly. What else are they saying | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
this morning about people who, as you mentioned, just stick with one | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
bank for ever and ever and ever? Well, they are not breaking up the | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
big four banks and they have said that for sometime. They are trying | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
to make it easier for you to change your bank account and the numbers | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
are quite startling actually. 60% of personal account customers have | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
stayed with their bank for more than ten years. I would think that's, you | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
know, that doesn't surprise me at all. So most people stick with their | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
bank because they fear switching. Over the last couple of years we | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
have had a service called CAST which is supposed to make it easier to | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
change your bank and that's going to be improved. The onus then is still | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
on us to do the work to find a better bank? If most of us bank with | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
the big four then is there enough competition? Is there really much | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
difference between the four? Well, the first licence to a new bank was | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
issued in 2010, the first one for over 100 years, so we are getting | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
challenger banks coming to the market so there is more competition. | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
It is a lot of it is consumer apathy. Most of just can't be | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
bothered. We prefer to spend time doing something else, however, with | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
all things the inducement is saving some money. Now you may not save as | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
much as say changing your energy supplier, I saved over ?1,000 from | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
changing my energy supplier so deals can be done. But even ?150 or a | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
couple of hundred quid a year, it does add up given that all of us, or | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
most of us have a bank account for our entire lives. Thank you very | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
much Louise. Thank you for coming on the programme. Louise Cooper. | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
Binge drinking, overdosing on paracetamol and illegal drugs | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
have all contributed to a rise in the number of children | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
It's seen as a form of self-harm and the largest increases | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
for deliberate poisonings were by teenage girls. | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
We'll be talking with some people who used to self-poison in a few | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
minutes, but first this is the story of 15-year-old Rose who made | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
I think the first overdose I took was the biggest. I remember going | :20:05. | :20:16. | |
downstairs and taking the whole packet with me. Being sick on the | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
way to school and then obviously I got worried that I had been sick and | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
so I told the teacher and the ambulance was called. It was my | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
mum's birthday coming up, I thought the best birthday present I could | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
could give her was for me not to be. I felt like a burden. That I would | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
just go away and she would be happy. It gets in your mind and you fixate | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
on it and you and then you do it and you come out and you think, "Why | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
didn't it work?" It is a bit like an addiction. Some of the time I take | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
it and I think I'm going to get liver damage after this and I will | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
die. The other times it is just self-harming, I punish myself, if I | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
die, I will die. I have got no self worth. I feel like I can talk more | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
and I feel that helps when I was 12, I wouldn't be talking to you now. I | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
was embarrassed of it. I still have little episodes but I know when I'm | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
down it will come upment I hope that other people will learn that it is | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
OK to talk about it. It is not something to be embarrassed or | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
ashamed of. New research suggests nearly 1,000 children are a year are | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
intentionally poisoning themselves. In a moment we will talk to Rachel | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
Welch and with me in the studio is John Golding a psychiatrist and Josh | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Connolly is here who used to poison himself with alcohol. Hello, welcome | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
both of you. Josh from the age of 12, you started drinking. Do you | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
know why? I think probably the main two reasons were to escape really | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
the way I felt in my mind and also for connection really, to help me to | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
connect with the outside world really. Right. What was going on in | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
your home life that made you want to escape? I'm the child of an | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
alcoholic. My dad was an alcoholic and he died when I was around nine | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
years old. Because of the stigma and things around alcoholism, it wasn't | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
something I was ever really able to talk about. So just general | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
emotions, positive and neglect tifr was something I had never really | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
learnt to deal with. So you were suppressing them effectively? Yeah. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
Yeah, I suppressed a lot of my negative feelings and so my | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
perception of the world was probably quite different to someone who was | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
say sort of healthy minded and maybe had a more of a balanced home. So | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
that kind of had a negative effect on me and where I had suppressed a | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
lot of the stuff, it came out of me sort of si ways as I grew up. When | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
you look back, do you think you are definitely and deliberately | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
self-harming? I'm not sure it started off like that. In the | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
beginning, drink just, you know, changed my life and made things a | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
lot easier for me. And so I started to drink quite a lot and then | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
obviously my life began to spiral slightly out of control and by my | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
late teens I would say I was drinking in a self destructive way. | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
How much? How much did I drink? Yes. By my late teens I was drinking, you | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
know, it started off on a Saturday night and then it was Friday, | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
Saturday, and then it was Friday through Thursday and I drank to | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
blackout a lot so I moon I drank to the point of not being able to | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
remember a single thing. What was your mum doing when this was going | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
on? My mum was there and my mum was supportive, but I mean what we used | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
to do when we were young, 13, 14 is I would say I was staying at a | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
friend's house and we would often sort of sleep rough is what we used | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
to call it and we would stay down the park drinking all night. You | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
kind of, it was something I hid from my family really. | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
John, why do you think there has been such a phenomenal rise in | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
incidents of self-harm involving children over the years? I think it | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
is a big question and obviously there are complex factors, it is | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
quite hard to be a young person inned to's society. There are a lot | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
of increased pressures with exam pressures, we were talking | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
beforehand about social media, and young people having a kind of public | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
persona on social media which might not reflect the reality of their | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
lives, if they are in distress or unhappy, they don't put that out | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
there on the social media, but they have the feelings nonetheless and | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
they have to express those feelings in some way and sometimes that can | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
be associated with self-harm. There is also... Sorry to interrupt, John, | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
but why, you know, as a psychiatrist with young people then you will be | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
able to get into their minds in a way that perhaps we can't, but why | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
would self-harming help them if I can put it like that? Well, | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
self-harm is a form of communication of distress and I think if you find | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
it hard to communicate distress by verbalising and by talking to | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
people, if you feel lonely and isolated and you don't have anyone | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
that you can talk to, you might communicate that distress by | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
self-harming. It is a kind of a way of dealing with unmanageable | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
feelings and some people might feel better in the short-term when they | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
self-harm, but in the long-term it doesn't help them and it is much | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
better that they can find someone they can talk to and can listen to | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
their distress. This rise in self poisoning, self-harm is the label | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
for all sorts of very distressing things, but self poisoning which can | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
be anything from drinking bleach for example to taking you know, over the | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
counter medicine? Yes, I mean there are different forms of self-harm. | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
Self poisoning is one form. Self cutting is another form. Injuring | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
yourself in different ways and swallowing stuff that you shouldn't | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
swallow. Self pouging does present to doctors to the Health Service | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
because you need treatment to mitigate the effects of it, but self | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
cutting is a more secretive form of self-harm. We think that one in ten | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
young people self-harm at some point in their lives, but a lot of it is | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
done in secret and people don't talk about it because there is a certain | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
amount of stigma associated with it. Rachel, good morning, thank you very | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
much for talking to us. You're welcome to the programme. Tell us | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
about your team teens and early 20s when you self poisoned? I self | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
poisoned through my teenage years. I had an eating disorder and I was | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
self-harming. The way I used to self-harm was through self poisoning | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
and it was through over the counter paracetamol, that kind of thing and | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
for me, it was, I actually found it for of a hidden way of self-harming | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
so you could take an overdose and nobody would know. If you didn't | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
tell anybody and if you didn't get any help or present to A then | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
nobody would know about it and it didn't leave a mark on my body | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
either. Right But also it was, I found that on the times that I had | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
cut myself or I had self harmed in another way, it was harder to ask | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
for help and often people would ask to see your scars or they would | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
judge you by how badly you had injured yourself, but when you self | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
poisoned, it was easier to try and get some help because people, for | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
some reason, people took you more seriously. And so I think certainly | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
for some of the young people that are doing it now, it is a way of | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
screaming louder if you like and a way of actually getting some help | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
and support that otherwise may not be available. Right. So when you | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
took tablets or whatever it was, did you get the help and support you | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
were seeking? It was much easier to get help and support because if you | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
went to A with a cut that didn't need stitches for example, there is | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
not a lot that they would necessarily do with you, you would | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
get sent home, but if you go to A having taken some tablets then | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
actually you get some treatment and you do get heard and it sounds | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
manipulative, it sounds a way of manipulating the system, if I take | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
an overdose, someone is going to talk to me, someone is going to do | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
something, but when you're struggling with self-harm, you are | :28:28. | :28:29. | |
desperate to be heard and you are desperate for someone to reach you | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
and try and understand what it is that you're going through and I | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
think for a lot of people, it becomes a desperate measure and it | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
is a way of just trying to get someone to listen to you. | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
Still, incredibly dangerous however, isn't it? Oh, absolutely. Self | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
poisoning is absolute Russian roulette with your life. The tiniest | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
of overdose can do the most irvery remembersable damage to somebody's | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
body and I think that's something that's actually being missed and | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
there is a lot of young people struggling with self poisoning who | :29:02. | :29:03. | |
are aware that it is a dangerous thing to do, but I don't think they | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
are aware of how dangerous it is and if you go and present at A and if | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
you get treatment within a couple of hours of taking an overdose, the | :29:11. | :29:13. | |
damage can still be done and I think we're going to see more and more | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
lives being lost to this unless we can try and reach these young people | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
before they get that desperate. Can I ask both you Rachel and you Josh | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
why you found it so difficult to express how you were feeling and | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
that you chose this dangerous way of expressing how you were feeling, | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
Rachel, fi ask you first? I think sometimes you experience things | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
particularly as a young person that you don't have vocabulary for. There | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
were times I felt things, but I didn't have language to back up what | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
I was feeling. I couldn't say I was feeling, X, Y, Z and words like | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
happy or sad or anxious didn't cut it, it didn't cover how it was that | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
I was feeling. So for me, it was a way of trying to express something | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
that I didn't have language for. That I didn't have the vocabulary | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
for and sometimes you don't always have the opportunity to talk to | :30:03. | :30:05. | |
somebody either in the way that you really need to and so it was a way | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
of trying to create that kind of circumstances if you like in which I | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
might be able to talk to somebody. Josh, what would you say? I think | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
very much like what has just been said, but also, we sort of | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
congratulate suppressing feelings really because when I wasn't talk | :30:25. | :30:32. | |
talking about how I was feeling, I was told I was very strong for | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
pulling my socks up and getting on with life. Whereas, so it was very, | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
very difficult to talk especially when we are talking about alcoholism | :30:40. | :30:41. | |
and things like that when there is stigma in society. We learnt at | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
school that people who drink too much and do drugs are bad people. It | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
is something that was very, very difficult for me to talk about. And | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
seen as weak to express that I was struggling with life. And you know, | :30:54. | :30:57. | |
for me as a young sort of 13-year-old lad, the last thing I | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
wanted to be seen as was weak. So I think we could sort of congratulate | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
people a lot more when they find the courage to speak up so we can be | :31:05. | :31:09. | |
encouraged, people can be encouraged themselves to speak up about how | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
they are feeling and feel like they will be congratulated for being | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
strong in expressing their wackness. That's a really good point. Thank | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
you very much Josh and John and Rachel. Thank you so much for your | :31:21. | :31:22. | |
time. Thank you for coming on the programme. | :31:23. | :31:26. | |

with a summary of today's news. Banks should be required to cap | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
the amount they charge customers That's the recommendation | :32:39. | :32:40. | |
from the Competition It's proposing a maximum | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
monthly charge as part of a solution to tackle problems | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
with current accounts. In 2014, banks made ?1.2 billion | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
from those penalty fees. Police have voiced concerns that | :32:51. | :32:57. | |
unarmed officers could be "sitting ducks" in the event of a gun | :32:58. | :32:59. | |
attack by terrorists. The main police union, | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
the Police Federation, says that in spite of plans | :33:05. | :33:06. | |
to increase the number of firearms staff, officers at strategic sites | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
such as oil refineries and nuclear power stations in rural | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
and coastal areas of England Following events in Paris | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
and Brussels, they are concerned. They do feel vulnerable, | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
that they will be sitting ducks in the event of a terrorist | :33:25. | :33:26. | |
atrocity in this country. Out campaigner Nigel Farage says | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
he'll fight for a second referendum on the UK staying | :33:30. | :33:39. | |
in the European Union He says a scenario like | :33:40. | :33:41. | |
52% to 48% would mean that the UK's place in Europe | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
remains 'unfinished business'. This has led to questions | :33:46. | :33:47. | |
about whether or not he feels the Leave side could | :33:48. | :33:50. | |
actually come out on top. But this morning he was | :33:51. | :33:52. | |
maintaining his optimism. I think we are going to win | :33:53. | :33:55. | |
this referendum. Because there is far more passion | :33:56. | :33:57. | |
on the Leave side of the argument, Leave voters are much more likely | :33:58. | :34:05. | |
on 23rd June to go down to the local primary school and vote, | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
so I think we are going to win. If we were to lose, narrowly, | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
which I don't think we will, if we were then what I can see | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
is a large section, particularly in the Conservative Party, | :34:16. | :34:18. | |
who feel the Prime Minister is not playing fair, | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
that the Remain side are using far more money than the Leave | :34:22. | :34:26. | |
side, and there would be a resentment that would build up | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
if that was to be the result. Having said that, I still think | :34:29. | :34:31. | |
Leave is going to win. Nurses could be used to help cover | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
growing gaps in junior doctor rotas, as part of proposals from the health | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
think-tank The Nuffield Trust. It's calling on nursing and support | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
staff across the UK to be given new skills in order to help relieve | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
pressure on the NHS. The Patients Association has | :34:46. | :34:47. | |

Now, John's back with the sports headlines. | :35:58. | :35:59. | |
Yes, many thanks. We will. With football, all eyes on Marcus | :36:00. | :36:08. | |
Rushford, who will be featuring we expect for Manchester United against | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
Bournemouth, the match rescheduled after it was abandoned on Saturday. | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
He was named in Roy Hodgson's provisional 26 man squad ahead of | :36:19. | :36:21. | |
the European Championships. He has never made his full international | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
debut for a good, we are expecting to be jetting one of the upcoming | :36:25. | :36:27. | |
friendly matches. We will see whether he will but his place on the | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
plane for the European Championships as well. | :36:32. | :36:33. | |
Sheffield Wednesday but their place in the play-off championship final, | :36:34. | :36:41. | |
beating Brighton 3-1 on aggregate. They already led 2-0 from the first | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
leg so they will contest a place in the championship play-off final, | :36:46. | :36:48. | |
waiting to see whether they will face Hull or Derby, who play later. | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
Jess varnish has bowed to return to the GB cycling team. She was dropped | :36:54. | :36:57. | |
after being told her times were not good enough. This is her on the | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
left. It led to the departure of Shane Sutton after she claimed she | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
was told to go away and have a baby. She has released a statement saying | :37:06. | :37:13. | |
she will return to the team. And Hannah Miley as well claimed | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
silver in the women's 400 metres individual medley last night. She | :37:16. | :37:18. | |
has already booked her place on the British swim team for the real | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
games. A good start for her, claiming a silver medal. Plenty more | :37:23. | :37:26. | |
events to come in the pool for London later on tonight. | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
That is all the sport for now, more later on. | :37:32. | :37:37. | |
Ukip leader Nigel Farage says he'll campaign | :37:38. | :37:39. | |
for a second EU referendum if the margin is very | :37:40. | :37:41. | |
Our political guru Norman Smith is in Westminster. | :37:42. | :37:47. | |
So even if he loses, even if Britain doesn't vote to leave the EU, he | :37:48. | :37:53. | |
will carry on? It may not be over. I don't know if | :37:54. | :38:03. | |
folk have heard of the word neverendum, but it is used to | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
describe when you have one referendum that prompt another, and | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
then another, and that is what we could face at least according to | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
Nigel Farage, who is suggesting that if the result of this referendum is | :38:14. | :38:20. | |
close, something like 52-48, a lot of people will be very, very unhappy | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
and claim that the boat has been rigged because the Government has | :38:25. | :38:27. | |
pretty much thrown everything at it. He points to this leaflet they put | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
out costing ?9 million, and the sense that the Government have | :38:34. | :38:37. | |
thrown absolutely everything at this referendum and it has not been a | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
fair fight, and he said it will prompt demands for a second | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
referendum. More than that, he said if that happens David Cameron could | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
be outed as Tory leader, and you could have someone like Boris | :38:51. | :38:54. | |
Johnson replacing, which could create huge pressure for a second | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
vote on an EU referendum. Mr Cameron has been clear on this when he has | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
spoken about it, he pretty much said this visit, a once in a generation | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
vote. Have a listen to him in the Commons the day. | :39:07. | :39:10. | |
The Government's position will be to recommend that Britain remains in a | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
reformed European Union. Mr Speaker, this is a vital decision for the | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
future of our country and I believe we should also be clear that it is a | :39:23. | :39:25. | |
final decision. A final decision. But think of the | :39:26. | :39:32. | |
Scottish independence referendum just a couple of years ago. Within | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
months of it being over, and one quite comfortably by Mr Cameron, we | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
know there have been renewed demands for yet another referendum, even | :39:43. | :39:49. | |
though leading figures, take Alex Salmond, who was then the Scottish | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
First Minister, when he was challenged on the Andrew Marr | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
programme he openly conceded that the referendum was meant to be a | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
once in a generation vote. Have a listen. | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
If it is a no vote by a whisker, is that it, do you come back for | :40:07. | :40:10. | |
another referendum in a few years' time? You have talked in the past of | :40:11. | :40:14. | |
it being for a generation, is that your view? Yes, by which I mean if | :40:15. | :40:20. | |
you remember the previous constitutional referendum in | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
Scotland in 1979, the next one was 1997, that is what I mean by a | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
political generation. In my opinion, it is just my opinion, this is a | :40:29. | :40:34. | |
once in a generation opportunity. We all know the current Scottish | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been pretty clear that if we vote to | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
leave the EU then she will demand a second Scottish referendum. In other | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
words there would be a second vote within five years or so of the last | :40:47. | :40:56. | |
vote. The thing is, we have seen Alves where in the world, when you | :40:57. | :40:58. | |
have a referendum it often does not settle the matter. Think of Canada, | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
where they have had two referendums so far on the idea of Quebec being | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
independent, they had one back in 1980, which the Remain camp, if we | :41:06. | :41:13. | |
want to call it that, one pretty easily, and in 1995 they had another | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
which was an absolute knife edge referendum, the Remain campaign | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
winning 51 to 49, and there is still pressure for another vote, a third | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
vote. The real danger is how far, once you allow a referendum, you | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
simply open up a Pandora's box which is is impossible to close and you | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
just get renewed demands for yet more and more referendums. There are | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
fears that could be what we are facing here. | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
Thank you very much, Norman. Some e-mails on recipes on the BBC | :41:47. | :42:06. | |
website. Carroll says, come on, how could | :42:07. | :42:09. | |
you?! You give us a platter of cookery programmes, then we print of | :42:10. | :42:11. | |
recipes that appeal to us. Not everyone can afford to go and buy | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
the books, please keep the recipes. Peter says, I cannot believe the | :42:15. | :42:16. | |
recipes are being stopped, how much is it going to save? I have used the | :42:17. | :42:19. | |
website for years, so has my husband and daughter, what are we paying the | :42:20. | :42:22. | |
license fee for? All the good things are going! | :42:23. | :42:24. | |
They will still be on the website, they will just not add any more new | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
recipes and it will just be slightly harder to find them because they | :42:28. | :42:29. | |
will not be linked or optimised, so they will fall away from searches, | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
but they will still be there. Coming up, how can a song about | :42:33. | :42:39. | |
ethnic cleansing by former Soviet leader Josef Stalin Windy Eurovision | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
Song Contest? Ukrainian winner Jamala will tell others in her first | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
British interview in ten minutes. And should police officers be forced | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
out of retirement to face misconduct proceedings and even lose their | :42:52. | :42:52. | |
pension? After the conclusion | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
of the Hillsborough inquests, Shadow Home Secretary, | :42:58. | :42:59. | |
Labour's Andy Burnham says it is unacceptable that police can | :43:00. | :43:01. | |
retire to avoid punishment and if he has his way the loophole | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
will be closed. Mr Burnham will address | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
the Police Federation's annual conference later today and tell them | :43:09. | :43:10. | |
they've lost the public's trust Steve White is chair | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
of the Police Federation of England Steve Kelly feels | :43:14. | :43:16. | |
police do need to work He lost his brother | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
in the Hillsborough tragedy. Lastly, solicitor Elkan Abrahamson | :43:20. | :43:28. | |
is here with me in studio. He represented 20 of | :43:29. | :43:31. | |
the Hillsborough families and thinks there are systemic issues | :43:32. | :43:33. | |
of accountability within You are all here because you have | :43:34. | :43:43. | |
slightly different views on what should happen, but let me ask you | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
first, Steve White, is the Shadow Home Secretary going to be welcome | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
at your conference today? Of course he is going to be welcomed, we are | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
happy to listen to the Home Secretary, happy to listen to the | :43:56. | :43:58. | |
Shadow Home Secretary to hear what he has got to say, but I think he is | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
misguided in some of the things he may say. We will have to wait and | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
see what comes out of conference later today, | :44:07. | :44:17. | |
but one of the things that certainly I should be saying is that you | :44:18. | :44:21. | |
cannot judge the rank and file and members I represent, the 122,000 | :44:22. | :44:23. | |
hard-working cops up and down the country today by the mistakes of a | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
few senior officers 27 years ago. Hillsborough was an awful, awful | :44:27. | :44:28. | |
tragedy, and we will be recognising that today, but we have got to move | :44:29. | :44:33. | |
on. We have got to look at policing issues of today, make sure at | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
accountability is right, and I think we have moved very far in the right | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
direction around that, but I think some of his comments are misguided. | :44:41. | :44:45. | |
Steve Kelly, Steve White says we have got to move on? I think the | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
police have got to move on, certainly, but the issue of | :44:51. | :44:53. | |
accountability has got to be addressed. It has not been addressed | :44:54. | :45:00. | |
for 27 years within some of the policemen that have been on duty | :45:01. | :45:01. | |
that day and we are looking, as Hillsborough families and survivors, | :45:02. | :45:12. | |
at the senior ranks, not the junior ranks. We have spoken many times | :45:13. | :45:13. | |
about this, it came ranks. We have spoken many times | :45:14. | :45:13. | |
The event of Hillsborough, the planning was wrong, there was not a | :45:14. | :45:17. | |
contingency plan, and after the event it was the senior ranks who | :45:18. | :45:27. | |
closed ranks and covered up Hillsborough. It is them who need to | :45:28. | :45:27. | |
be made accountable. As Andy Burnham is going to speak today, if their | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
pensions, etc, are at risk, then it is their own doing. I look forward | :45:32. | :45:36. | |
today to listening to some of the issues that will come out of today's | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
meeting. I'm not sure their pensions are at risk. Steve White, it is one | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
of the things Andy Burnham is campaigning on, he wants effectively | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
what could be known as a Hillsborough clause in the policing | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
and crime Bill to end what he calls the scandal of retirement as an | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
escape route and of wrongdoers claiming their full pension. | :45:55. | :46:02. | |
We have got to determine what misconduct is about in term of | :46:03. | :46:08. | |
holding police officers to account. This suspect about criminal issues. | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
Criminal issues maybe outstanding and that has no time limit on it, | :46:13. | :46:18. | |
but when we are talking about misconduct the ultimate answer is to | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
get rid of that officer from the service and the Police Federation is | :46:23. | :46:25. | |
supportive. There needs to be a time limit of a couple of years to make | :46:26. | :46:28. | |
sure if officers have retired and they still need to face misconduct, | :46:29. | :46:34. | |
two years is plenty of time, in order to bring them back to the | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
service and to deal with them. Are they going to say? We are going to | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
dispense with your services as a police officer? Well, they have | :46:42. | :46:52. | |
already retired. They have already retired in order to escape | :46:53. | :46:55. | |
misconduct proceedings? That isn't the case. We have overhauled the | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
misconduct regulations to ensure police officers can't retire to | :47:01. | :47:03. | |
escape it. That's been addressed. What we are talking about here is an | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
incredibly difficult and emotive issue and my word of caution would | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
be this, hard cases such as Hillsborough don't necessarily make | :47:12. | :47:14. | |
good legislation and good guidance and we need to make sure we do | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
what's right for the Police Service and for the public of today. | :47:19. | :47:25. | |
The Hillsborough case does not necessarily make for good | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
legislation? The suggestion it was 27 years ago, and we should move on, | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
would be right if the officers 27 years ago had admitted their fault, | :47:34. | :47:38. | |
but they haven't. They have continued to propagate a lie for 27 | :47:39. | :47:43. | |
years until they no longer could get away it with it of the ethos that | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
was there in the force 27 years ago is still there and that's the real | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
problem. It is also right to say we shouldn't be blaming junior | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
officers. The fault was with the senior officers at Hillsborough, | :47:57. | :47:59. | |
that's not to say that junior officers are always entirely | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
blameless, when we look at an ethos within an organisation, it usually | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
comes from the top and it is the top we should be looking at. We | :48:08. | :48:13. | |
shouldn't be looking to blame junior officers. Retirement is a more | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
complex issue because it brings in employment law, pensions are made up | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
partly of contributions by an employee from his salary. Now, you | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
can argue if someone who has been paid to do a job for 30 years has | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
been doing that job corruptly for the last 30 years, well they | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
shouldn't have been paid, and they should pay back their salary and | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
pension, but that's an argument that takes us outside the police force. | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
Banks are trying to recover salaries. Or politicians or | :48:42. | :48:43. | |
journalists or lawyers, where do you journalists or lawyers, wheredo you | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
do you stop? That's a much more difficult issue. OK. Steve White in | :48:48. | :48:56. | |
terms of this idea of wrong-doers claiming their full pension, what do | :48:57. | :49:00. | |
you say on that specifically? Well k we already have regulations in place | :49:01. | :49:08. | |
for the for fitture of pensions -- forfeiture of pensions. How does an | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
officer forfeit their pension? How often has that happened? Well, the | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
regulations, the misconduct regulations are there and they are | :49:18. | :49:21. | |
there to be used, I can't give you an exact figure, but officers had to | :49:22. | :49:24. | |
forfeit their pensions and that's why we have got them. However, you | :49:25. | :49:27. | |
know, we are talking about the Police Service of today. Which is a | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
complete different service of the police service of 27 years ago. We | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
have got it make sure we get this right and a knee-jerk reaction using | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
Hillsborough as an example could be misguide. We are on the side of | :49:40. | :49:44. | |
making sure that police officers are properly held to account, but we | :49:45. | :49:48. | |
don't feel this is the way to do it. You said a couple of times 27 years | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
ago, which indeed it was, the inquests have been over the past two | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
years when the police and their representatives continued the | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
defence of 27 years ago. Well, that's a matter for them and as I've | :50:02. | :50:07. | |
said, we're not interested in officers not facing the appropriate | :50:08. | :50:10. | |
sanctions and of course, we are still waiting to see, if the Crown | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
Prosecution Service is going to bring prosecutions, but to say, that | :50:15. | :50:17. | |
what happened 27 years ago and because some officers in some | :50:18. | :50:20. | |
people's views might get away with their pensions is not the reason to | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
change the legislation, the misconducts for current officers | :50:27. | :50:28. | |
serving today, we don't feel. There is other ways to ensure that police | :50:29. | :50:33. | |
officers can be returned to their forces within a time scale, to make | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
sure that the misconduct issues, it is a nonsense that we have had to | :50:38. | :50:40. | |
wait 27 years to get the verdicts that we have had. I think everybody | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
agrees with that. We have got to make sure we have got accountability | :50:45. | :50:47. | |
in the Police Service that works quickly so that if focuses on the | :50:48. | :50:50. | |
needs of the victims. It focuses on the needs of the officers and in the | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
interests of the public. Steve Kelly, a final thought, what | :50:56. | :51:01. | |
could the police do to rebuild trust for you, as someone who lost their | :51:02. | :51:07. | |
brother at Hillsborough? What the police need to realise that truth | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
and justice have no sell-by date. If anybody is proved to have done wrong | :51:12. | :51:18. | |
that day, and is appropriately punished in the future well then | :51:19. | :51:21. | |
they should face the severest sanctions be it 27 years on or 27 | :51:22. | :51:28. | |
weeks on. As I say, truth and justice have no sell-by date. The | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
police need to honour that. Thank you for coming on the | :51:35. | :51:38. | |
programme. Thank you very much for your time | :51:39. | :51:40. | |
this morning. Thank you. Coming up, how soon a reality | :51:41. | :51:44. | |
could driverless cars be? The Government is expected | :51:45. | :51:46. | |
to announce plans tomorrow to make it easier for us all to be able | :51:47. | :51:49. | |
to get insurance to drive them. We'll talk to people who've already | :51:50. | :51:52. | |
taken them for a spin. We're going to talk now | :51:53. | :52:04. | |

Contest. The lyrics in her winning song have | :52:57. | :52:58. | |
been criticised by some Some thought it was | :52:59. | :53:00. | |
an attack on Russia after she sang about her family, | :53:01. | :53:03. | |
part of the Crimean Tartar community being deported under | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
Joseph Stalin in 1944. Russia might even boycott | :53:07. | :53:11. | |
the contest next year when it Let's talk to her live from Kiev | :53:12. | :53:13. | |
in her first British interview since winning | :53:14. | :53:20. | |
Saturday night's contest. Trawl, congratulations on your | :53:21. | :53:27. | |
victory, Jamala. How did you feel when you knew you had won? Thank you | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
very much. Really, it is a big, I don't know, it is a big pleasure for | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
me to speak with you and first of all, thank you for ten points from | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
the United Kingdom actually! When you heard that you had won, how | :53:43. | :53:48. | |
did you feel? Oh, I was so happy. It's really a | :53:49. | :53:57. | |
new step in my musical career. Of course I was so happy. I'm happy | :53:58. | :54:02. | |
now. Of course. Of course. Is your song political? | :54:03. | :54:07. | |
I don't think so. I said about this a lot of times that I don't have any | :54:08. | :54:16. | |
political statement in my song and you know that if you answered about | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
this and they responded well about that they don't have questions to my | :54:22. | :54:27. | |
song. I mean, no political statement in my lyrics or music. What message | :54:28. | :54:41. | |
did you want to get across then? You know, I think that my song really | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
touched Europe because it's so important now a days. I sing about | :54:48. | :54:55. | |
the roots. Where I came from and now, it is a very common thing to | :54:56. | :55:02. | |
discuss. You know, I sing about my pain. I sing about all Crimean | :55:03. | :55:10. | |
Tartars pain, but now we have a lot of pain in this world. That's why I | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
think European people understand me quite well. Yes. I sing about my | :55:16. | :55:26. | |
great-grandmother and all Crimean Tartars, but at the same time I sing | :55:27. | :55:42. | |
about people who really suffered in the wars and different tragedies now | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
a days and in the past. I understand. Now, you will have heard | :55:47. | :55:52. | |
that Russia might boycott Eurovision next year when it is in Ukraine. | :55:53. | :55:58. | |
What do you say about that? I don't know. What can I say? If they want | :55:59. | :56:05. | |
to boycott the Eurovision next year, it is their choice. What can I say? | :56:06. | :56:11. | |
It wasn't about Russia. It was about pain. It was about really this | :56:12. | :56:25. | |
tragedy which happened in 1944. It is like, it just released my soul | :56:26. | :56:38. | |
and released this theme which were so hidden during all these years. | :56:39. | :56:45. | |
Yes, Jamala thank you thank you very much for talking to us and | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
congratulations again. Thank you. Jamala talking to us live from Kiev. | :56:51. | :56:58. | |

has been a beautiful start to the day. That was north qork shire. This | :58:40. | :58:45. | |
is of Northamptonshire. Beautiful blue skies and for Milton Keynes | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
too, a lovely tRangle start to the day. -- tranquil start to the day. | :58:50. | :58:55. | |
There is some cloud around particularly so in the north and the | :58:56. | :58:59. | |
west and some of that has been producing rain and showers, but you | :59:00. | :59:02. | |
can see where we have got the sunshine still. As we go through the | :59:03. | :59:05. | |
course of the day, more rain is going to arrive across parts of the | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
west. So you can see where the rain coming in across Northern Ireland, | :59:10. | :59:13. | |
moving across western and Northern Scotland, but ahead of that for | :59:14. | :59:17. | |
central and eastern areas, well although some fair-weather cloud | :59:18. | :59:22. | |
will develop, it will be essentially sunny. For parts of Wales and the | :59:23. | :59:26. | |
south-west, the cloud continuing to build and here too, we will see | :59:27. | :59:30. | |
spots of rain, albeit patchy. The cloud building over towards | :59:31. | :59:33. | |
Hampshire. Move east of that, and we are back into the sunshine and the | :59:34. | :59:37. | |
warmth. With light winds it will feel pleasant. We could hit 20 | :59:38. | :59:40. | |
Celsius across parts of the south-east. East Anglia and into | :59:41. | :59:46. | |
northern England, a similar story. Hazy sunshine and Eastern Scotland | :59:47. | :59:51. | |
faring nicely too. We could hit 17 Celsius in parts of Aberdeenshire. | :59:52. | :59:53. | |
For Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, we have got the rain. A gap | :59:54. | :59:56. | |
and then there will be more rain coming your way if you are in | :59:57. | :59:59. | |
Northern Ireland and it is the north-east of Wales seeing the | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
brightest skies. The south-west will have patchy rain as indeed will | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
parts of south-west England sh but again, it is patchy and not all of | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
us seeing it. The pollen levels are high across central and eastern | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
parts of the UK. If you have an alrgey to tree pollen in particular | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
bear that in mind. There will be some clear skies, but as our first | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
ban of rain advances so will the cloud. Then we have got this heavier | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
band of rain coming across Scotland, north-west England, Wales and the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Midlands and south-west England and in the south-west you could hear the | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
odd rumble of thunder. A warmer night than we have seen for a few | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
nights. Tomorrow, well, there goes that rain. Again heading towards the | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
South East. It will tend to turn more showery in nature, but the | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
showers through the afternoon could be torrential. We could see a lot of | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
rain in a small amount of time and also with hail and thunder, but not | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
all of us will because they are showers. Out towards the west, well | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
things brighten up and we will see sunshine and after a relatively dry | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
start across central and eastern parts of England, it will cloud over | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
from the west as the rain piles in initially across Northern Ireland | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
and Scotland fringing down into England and the south-west and | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
feeling nippy in the north-east. Hello, I'm Victoria Derbyshire, good | :01:18. | :01:20. | |

with a summary of today's news. Banks should be required to cap | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
the amount they charge customers That's the recommendation | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
from the Competition It's proposing a maximum | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
monthly charge as part of a solution to tackle problems | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
with current accounts. In 2014, banks made ?1.2 billion | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
from those penalty fees. Inflation fell in April for | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
the first time since last September. The rate of Consumer Price Index | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
inflation fell to 0.3% last month, It has been put down to a fall in | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
airfares and lower clothing prices. Police have voiced concerns that | :02:47. | :03:01. | |
unarmed officers could be "sitting ducks" in the event of a gun | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
attack by terrorists. The main police union says that | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
in spite of plans to increase the number of firearms staff, | :03:07. | :03:08. | |

atrocity in this country. The campaigner Nigel Farage says | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
he'll fight for a second referendum on the UK staying | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
in the European Union He says a scenario like 52% to 48% | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
would mean that the UK's place in Europe remains | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
'unfinished business'. This has led to questions | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
about whether or not he feels the Leave side could actually come | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
out on top. But this morning he was | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
maintaining his optimism. I think we are going to win | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
this referendum. Because there is far more passion | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
on the Leave side of the argument, Leave voters are much more likely | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
on 23rd June to go down to the local primary school and vote, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
so I think we are going to win. If we were to lose, narrowly, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
which I don't believe we will, if we were then what I can see | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
is a large section, particularly in the Conservative Party, | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
who feel the Prime Minister is not playing fair, | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
that the Remain side are using far more money than the Leave side, | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
and there would be a resentment that would build up | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
if that was to be the result. Having said that, I still think | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
Leave is going to win. Nurses and paramedics could be used | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
to help cover growing gaps as part of proposals from the health | :04:37. | :04:40. | |

debut in February - scored four goals in his first two | :06:52. | :06:56. | |

such an outstanding end to the season, a young player, | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
a player I think has obviously got a future if he can continue | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
to develop as he has developed so far, it's great to be able | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
to include him and then there is no reason, if he does exceptionally | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
well, why he couldn't knock Sheffield Wednesday are one game | :07:30. | :07:32. | |

attacked the culture within British Cycling, | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
which prompted the resignation She says she'll be meeting his | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
replacement Andy Harrison and maintains that her performance | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
was not the reason she was dropped. It has the feel of watching a fallen | :08:28. | :08:41. | |
idol trying to reading former glories for Tiger Woods at the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
moment. At a tournament he is hosting he hit three shots into the | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
water. He is trying to recover his form and fitness, he is outside of | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
the world's top 500. He says he is progressing but, as you can see, he | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
is a long way off giving a timescale just yet for his return. But he | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
still has his sights on winning more majors, something he believes he can | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
do to catch Sam Snead, who holds the record of 82 tour wins, and Jack | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
Nicklaus' record of 86 majors. His record is still attainable, I have | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
got to lot of the regular ones already, but the major one is still | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
up there. I would like to get Sam's record as well. I am number two on | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
both lists so it would be nice to be won on both lists. If his record is | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
anything to go by, you certainly cannot count him out. | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
That is all the sport for now, back to you. | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
Last December we brought you the story of Matthew Green, | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
who went missing from his home in Kent six years ago. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
He was 26 at the time, and one of thousands of people | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
Most people who go missing return home quickly. | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
Matthew had a normal life by all accounts and told his parents | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
he was going to visit friends for the weekend but never came back. | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
In a moment we'll talk to his parents to bring | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
you the latest developments, but first here's a quick reminder | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
of the story we brought you just before Christmas. | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
Every two minutes, someone is recorded missing. 95% are found safe | :10:15. | :10:27. | |
and well within 48 hours. But around 2500 people each year are still | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
missing 12 months later. It was Easter week, he said, I'm going to | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
my friends at Mile End the Easter weekend but I'm back on Sunday | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
because I have work on Monday. On the Thursday evening, which was the | :10:45. | :10:58. | |
8th of April... I just said, have a good weekend, don't leave it too | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
late on Sunday getting back. And he never got to where he was going. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Nobody has seen or heard from him since. It hasn't crashed. It is a | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
video! Five years ago, Matthew Green, under right here, vanished | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
from his home in Sittingbourne, Kent. As far as his parents know he | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
wasn't in any trouble and there was no big family row. His bedroom | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
hasn't been touched since that date. On the Wednesday, when I went into | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
the police station, I felt... I felt stupid, for want of a better word. I | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
thought, he's 26, and I'm coming to report him missing. I said, I don't | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
know if I'm doing right or wrong, or if he is missing, and I don't want | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
to waste your time or anything, but he has not been in contact since | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
last Friday, when he left. Which was totally out of the ordinary. Then | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
they wanted to come to the house to have a look at his room and see if | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
there was anything there that might show anything. Which is where they | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
found his phone, which was totally unusual because at that time it was | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
like this all the time, superglued to their ears. He would never, ever | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
leave his phone. That was when the alarm bells started ringing, | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
something is not right. Matthew didn't just leave his phone behind. | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
He took his passport, his birth certificate, and ?1700 in cash he | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
had been saving. His parents have spent five years following every | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
lead. The past five and a half years have been, for want of a better | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
word, hell. Quite a few people have said to me, you are a strong person. | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
I think, you don't know me, you don't see me when I locked myself in | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
the bathroom at night so I can write. -- cry. It makes me feel | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
better, then you can continue, you just carry on. I did 30 years plus | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
in the Fire and Rescue Service, I have resolved a lot of problems for | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
different people, different families, but the hardest thing I | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
feel, I can't resolve this. That was last December. | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
We can talk to Matthew's parents, Pauline and Jim. | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
Thank you for talking to us, tell our audience what you now know about | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
Matthew? We now know that he is alive. In Spain. But we don't know | :13:46. | :13:57. | |
whereabouts in Spain. How did you get this news? On the 3rd of May | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
Kent Police came round to the house and obviously it was a bit of a | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
shock initially, seeing the police on your front doorstep. She said, | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
there is nothing to worry about, we have got some news on maps. -- on | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
Matthew. Then she told us that he had been located. Apparently there | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
was a guy acting a bit oddly, a bit strangely, and was picked up, for | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
want of a better word, by the social services out in Spain. And that, to | :14:40. | :14:51. | |
date, is as far as we know. Hence your distress, although clearly it | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
is amazing news that you know your son is alive, it is what you have | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
been waiting to hear the so long, but you don't know where he is, you | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
don't know how to get in touch with them? No, no. We have been in touch | :15:04. | :15:13. | |
with the consular in the Jed -- the consulate in Madrid and I have sent | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
Matt a letter, I e-mailed that to the consulate and asked if they | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
could pass that on and I have also asked them, if it has been delivered | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
to him, and we are at a stumbling block, they cannot tell me if it has | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
been delivered to him because of data protection, they cannot tell me | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
where he is exactly because of data protection. But they know, do they? | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
I'm assuming they know, because Interpol were involved at the | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
initial stages, apparently, and then they got a fingerprint match which | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
proves 99.9% it is Matt, which obviously we are elated about but it | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
is just all the other stumbling blocks we have got. Nobody will tell | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
us exactly where in Spain he is, it is a vast country, I would have been | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
on the plane the following morning, but where do I go? We have just got | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
all these questions still and nobody to answer them. | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Jim, what do you think of this situation that you and Pauline now | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
find yourselves in? Well, elated at the news. As Pauline said it was a | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
real shock initially, but now, again, the questions of over and | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
over again, can we come and see him or anything like that? But without | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
Matthew's consent and the Data Protection Act they won't give us | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
any information whatsoever of his whereabouts, his well-being, if he | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
is OK, at one stage they said that he would have to be assessed by a | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
medical team for his mental health. Now, we don't even know whether | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
that's been done and if they have done this, and they deemed him OK, | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
have they just let him go? We don't know. We are still in that limbo | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
land again. OK. So, I mean, the most important thing is that your son is | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
alive. Yes. There are some hurdles in your way, but they are not | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
insurmountable, are they, Pauline? Oh no, definitely. I will get there | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
in the end, it might take me a bit more time, but I've waited six | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
years. So I'll carry on. Yes. Well, thank you very much for giving our | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
audience an update and clearly, we are going to keep in touch. So thank | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
you. No, thank you. Thank you very much Pauline. Thank you. Pauline and | :17:52. | :17:57. | |

that when you renew your car insurance the company asks | :18:09. | :18:21. | |
you a load of questions about you, We're told they could be on British | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
roads within the next four years. But how would you go | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
about insuring one? When the Prime Minister tells us | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
tomorrow what new laws he wants to bring in this year he is expected | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
to say that driverless cars should So we've got a racing driver, | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
a motoring expert, a boss of a car company and a man selling insurance | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
to talk about this. Gus Park, commercial | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
director of motor insurance Nick Connor, MD of Volvo UK - | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
the firm is going to start trialling And, via webcam, Robert Llewellyn, | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
motoring expert and TV presenter. Welcome all of us. Robert, you have | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
been in a driverless car. Describe what it is like to our audience and | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
how it works and so on? I have been in about four. They are all slightly | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
different. So some of them are regular cars with steering wheels | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
that had a driver sitting in the driver's seat ready to take over the | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
controls. One of them had no steering wheel and no controls and | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
just drove itself happen Jill! The car I drive regularly has a setting | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
called ought owe pilot if you are on a motorway, drives the car for you. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
Aur' legally obliged to have your hands on the steering wheel to take | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
over, but it has proved itself to be reliable. It keeps a safe distance | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
from other vehicles. Doesn't break the speed limit and knows how to | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
drive very well. You get used to it, but it is a different experience. | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Yes. In that, in the last one, you described if you are driving on a | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
motorway and you have got your hands on the wheel and if it is doing in | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
front of you and if something fell off a lorry, you would take over | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
manually? If you move the steering wheel, you have got control of the | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
car. It is instantaneous, you don't have to switch something off or | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
adjust a setting. You are in control of the vehicle at all times. What | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
about the one that doesn't have a steering wheel? Well sh they are not | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
allowed on public roads other than in California, they are Google cars, | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
I used a series of autonomous cars in Abu Dhabi and they are on roads | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
used by other vehicles, but they are restricted to a route of roadment | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
they are aware of other vehicles if there is another car in front of it, | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
slowing it down, it steers around it, so that's not quite, you know, | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
driving down your street yet, but I mean, clearly, it is technically | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
possible. It is as we are go to discover legal and insurance reasons | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
are the problem. The key thing is the ownership of it. I don't think | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
anyone will own in the sense we do now a driverless car because you | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
won't need to, you will be at home and it will come and get you and | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
that will be the end of it. It changes the ownership model. Well, | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
that has a relevance when we talk about insurance. Rebecca, as a | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
racing driver driving at top speeds, would you let technology take over? | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
Well, it is a difficult question to answer. If I'm responsible for | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
whatever happens in the car then I would be reluctant to let the | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
technology take over. When I'm in control of the vehicle, it is up to | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
me to look out for hazards, if I want to let someone cross the road, | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
perhaps there is an old lady at the side of the road that is really | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
struggling to get across because no one will stop and then I can be kind | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
and stop and let her cross. Also with my racing car I am protected | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
with a roll cage and three-piece fire retardant suit, it is a whole | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
world apart from driving quickly on the road. Do you like the idea of it | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
or not like the idea of relinquishing control? As a racing | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
driver, I am a control freak! However, I think if the technology | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
is proven and it is safe then being able to get into effectively a | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
chauffeur driven vehicle without paying the full-time wage of a | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
chauffeur mrps Is that true, you would be able to catch up on work or | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
have a rest? Wouldn't you be thinking the whole time, gosh, what | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
if this goes wrong I have got to be on it? Tell us why there is a | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
demand. There is a demand. You can waste a lot of time driving in and | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
out of cities and on our motorways and once you have been in a fully | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
autonomous car, at first it feels strange, but after five minutes you | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
relax. There is no way I would relax in a driverless car. After a few | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
minutes when you see the car can change lanes and speed up, slow | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
down, you get used to it and then you push back and you check your | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
phone and read a book. It liberates time. It is fantastic development. | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
OK. What's the impact on people's insurance policies then do you | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
reckon? Well, I think what we know up to 90% of road traffic accidents | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
are caused by driver error. So if we take away the driver error piece we | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
know that our accidents will fall and therefore, premium also fall. So | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
we are saying driverless cars will mean a reduction in accidents? | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
Absolutely. That's why Volvo is keen on autonomous driving. We see it as | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
a great way of eliminating all road traffic accidents in the longer | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
term. Wow, eliminating all road traffic accidents, that's | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
astonishing. Whether it is plausible, I don't know, but we will | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
see over the years. Gus Park, in terms of insurance policies, in | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
terms of normal people who drive now and their insurance policies, all of | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
us think we pay too much in term of insurance policies, what impact will | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
driverless car technology have on our policies? It could bring down | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
the cost of insurance quite a bit if it is successful in reducing the | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
number of accidents. So you will pass that on to the customers, will | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
you? Yes, absolutely if we can establish there are the safety | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
benefits. In the short-term, maybe less will change. These cars will | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
continue to be mixed so some of the time you will be driving it | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
yourself. Some of the time it will this autonomous mode. The hope is | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
this will make our roads safer and reduce the cost of insurance. Do you | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
see a time as Robert suggested where we won't own a car, just someone | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
will bring one to us, I don't know, who will this someone be, we will | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
have a man servant? It will be the car. Oh, the car will come itself to | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
your home? It is almost exists now. Something like Uber or Halo which is | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
an app that you have on your fond, you press a button and the car turns | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
up to where you are going and takes you where you want to go and you get | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
out again. I'm talking a few years in the future, but clearly, that, | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
you know, that model is being studied and developed rapidly and a | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
lot of money is being put into it. So I'm clear, Robert, there will be | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
no human being in that car in the future? No. Wow! There won't need to | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
be. Knoll. Already, I have been in two cars, my car parks itself, I | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
have seen another car where you get out in front of the hotel and the | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
car drives off and parks itself! You don't have to park it and when you | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
come out of the hotel you press a button on your phone and the car | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
comes and picks you up. I saw that a couple of years ago. I think it will | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
arrive incrementally. My car can park itself now. I stand next to it | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
while it does it so I won't have to stand next to it. Slowly, but slowly | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
and it will be generational. Our generation will have real problems | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
adjusting to that new reality, but I think younger generations less so. | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
Rebecca, what do you think of that idea? Well, it does save on parking | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
conundrums, doesn't it? You won't have to drive around looking for | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
parking spaces. You could fill all the space in the car park. All the | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
cars can communicate so when one person needs car A which is over | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
there, they can move and that car can come out. The car park owners | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
might not like that! Because you can, there won't be a demand, but I | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
think it is a good idea. Thank you very much. Very interesting, thank | :26:49. | :26:53. | |

"Stay at home on benefits like all other teeenage mums," | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
the words of one manager to his employee who was due to come | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
Just one example of the kind of discrimination | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
And new research today reveals that women under 25 are six times more | :31:36. | :31:42. | |
likely to lose their jobs that any other age group | :31:43. | :31:44. | |
According to the Equality And Human Rights Commission, | :31:45. | :31:52. | |
15% felt under pressure to hand their notice in and one | :31:53. | :31:55. | |
quarter said it had an effect on their health and stress levels. | :31:56. | :32:01. | |
Laura Davies says she was forced out of her job when she became pregnant | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
Chrisi Franks says having children in her early 20s has | :32:05. | :32:11. | |
Karen Jockelson is director of the Employment Programme | :32:12. | :32:21. | |
for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, who are behind | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
And Carl Reader is an employer who says maternity leave | :32:25. | :32:32. | |
You were studying and in a part-time job when you got pregnant, what | :32:33. | :32:41. | |
happened? They were hostile, they turned around and said, are you | :32:42. | :32:46. | |
making the right decision, you will bring the team down sales rise, you | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
will not hit your targets, are you sure this isn't what you want to do? | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
They actually said those words to you, or is that what you felt the | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
vibes were? It was a mixture between the vibes and when I was going to | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
appointment I was told I would not be eating my targets because I was | :33:06. | :33:11. | |
skipping shipped. I felt I needed to put my all into my job but also pull | :33:12. | :33:17. | |
back and look after myself. And did you think at the time, this is | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
discrimination, this is outrageous? Yes and no. I thought something | :33:23. | :33:27. | |
didn't really sit right, but whenever I had bought things up in | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
the past with managers about discrimination, it all got brushed | :33:32. | :33:36. | |
under the carpet. I thought that I was just being a bit over the top | :33:37. | :33:40. | |
about it all. After maternity leave, you wanted to go back but it seemed | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
clear they were not really going to welcome you back with open arms? | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
Yes, I wanted to go back, otherwise I didn't have a job, and I rely on | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
my job to bathe everything, but when I went back in they told me that | :33:55. | :33:58. | |
there wasn't a job for me, I should go home and sit on benefits like | :33:59. | :34:02. | |
other junk bonds and I should be focusing on my child's rather than | :34:03. | :34:07. | |
working. -- like other young mothers. I felt I was a bad mum by | :34:08. | :34:12. | |
wanting to provide for my child. Let me bring in Karen. What do you think | :34:13. | :34:19. | |
of that story? It is all for, not entirely surprising. It is something | :34:20. | :34:23. | |
we founded our research. As you said earlier, young mothers are more | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
likely than other mothers to experience such pressure that they | :34:29. | :34:31. | |
feel forced or have to leave their jobs. How do we explain that they | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
are six times more likely to feel under this pressure than older | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
women? Some of it might be to do with employer attitudes. We asked | :34:41. | :34:43. | |
employers about their perceptions and although many of them said they | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
thought women played a valuable role in the workplace, when we questioned | :34:49. | :34:52. | |
them more closely there was a sizeable proportion who felt they | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
should have the right to ask women what their plans were around having | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
children or whether they were pregnant, they felt once a woman had | :35:03. | :35:05. | |
decided to have a child she was no longer committed to her work. Women | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
said completely the opposite, they said even having a child they were | :35:11. | :35:13. | |
still committed, still wanted to do the best for their employer. Carl, | :35:14. | :35:19. | |
as an employer, I'm assuming you don't speak to your female staff | :35:20. | :35:23. | |
like that or you probably would not be here on television! Absolutely | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
not, no, we do not speak to our stuff like that, and if we did we | :35:28. | :35:30. | |
would not have the business we have got. But there are issues when it | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
comes to people who run companies filling in behind when somebody goes | :35:39. | :35:41. | |
on maternity leave, and you would like perhaps a bit more openness | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
from women when they are pregnant, is that fair? It is a challenge, | :35:47. | :35:51. | |
because, as a small-business owner, we have mixed emotions when we hear | :35:52. | :35:56. | |
a staff member is pregnant, so we know them all so we are delighted | :35:57. | :35:59. | |
for them personally but we know there is a reality that we have got | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
a period of a maximum of three months to plan, take someone in to | :36:05. | :36:07. | |
train them up, replace them for the period they are off, and whilst | :36:08. | :36:14. | |
staff members might sometimes know their intentions afterwards but the | :36:15. | :36:21. | |
nature often changes, we cannot help medical issues out of our control, | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
so we have two employ people on a temporary basis, they often end up | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
being very good as well, so we can often accept the returning weather | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
and also keep the tempo. What would make it easier for you, women | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
telling you a earlier they were pregnant and wanted maternity leave, | :36:39. | :36:41. | |
and telling you earlier when they are coming back? Being told early | :36:42. | :36:46. | |
helps, however just openness throughout the process. Things | :36:47. | :36:52. | |
change. You have heard from Laura's story, you will understand why some | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
people keep it quiet because of that treatment? Yes, and it is | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
disgraceful, there is no need for that. Chrisi, you were 25 when you | :37:00. | :37:06. | |
had your first child... 24 when I was pregnant. You feel you were | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
effectively sidelined for a period of years when you are having | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
children by various bosses? I found it a big challenge trying to compete | :37:16. | :37:18. | |
with my peers in the workplace who did not have children. I was | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
objectively and in turn when I became pregnant, my partner was | :37:23. | :37:30. | |
older than me, had a stable job and was delighted when I became | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
pregnant, and so I was probably a bit naive about the challenges I | :37:36. | :37:43. | |
would base. I think I'm a graduate 's trainee starting salary it became | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
unaffordable for me to return to work for a period of time -- on a | :37:47. | :37:53. | |
graduate trainee starting salary. Returning to work when I was a bit | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
older, having had a second child, I was then at a much lower grade than | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
my peers, which was hard from a personal perspective. But isn't that | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
fair enough, because you were out of the workplace for a few years, so | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
while people are not having children they might be being promoted? That | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
is true, but I don't think the experience you gain as a parent is | :38:16. | :38:22. | |
experience, I was also doing freelancing and doing bits of work | :38:23. | :38:27. | |
while I was off, but I think for me the challenge was going into roles | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
where I had not been there for very long and so I think that makes your | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
working situation a lot more precarious, it is much easier for | :38:37. | :38:42. | |
people to get rid of you, it means that you don't necessarily have the | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
trust to work from home. For example, in one situation, I was | :38:46. | :38:51. | |
offered working from home for one day but one minor technical hitch | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
meant it was pulled by an inexperienced manager who was | :38:57. | :38:58. | |
younger than me he did not understand the challenges I was | :38:59. | :39:05. | |
facing at that time. That could have been just because you had a rubbish | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
boss? It might not be that bosses don't particularly like women who | :39:11. | :39:14. | |
have got children or when they become pregnant? I think it depends | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
on the industry and the size of the organisation. For bigger | :39:19. | :39:21. | |
organisations, I have not found having that flexibility in my | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
working life has been an issue. But they have but big a chart is not an | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
excuse, but they are well across employment law, they should be | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
treating people equally -- they have big human resources departments. | :39:35. | :39:42. | |
When you find a job, in this implement market, it can be quite | :39:43. | :39:45. | |
challenging just to get in, you need to be treated in a similar web | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
regardless of the size of the organisation. If I may go back to | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
your point, small businesses, you are right it is down to bad boss or | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
good boss. I advise people on this sort of thing and it sounds like you | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
have had micromanagement and a fear of allowing you to do your own thing | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
and trust to allow you to perform your role, and without that, | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
unfortunately, this discrimination can occur. We would find that was | :40:10. | :40:16. | |
also demonstrated in our research, it was very evident that when there | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
were human resources policies in place and women had a manager they | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
could be open with and was empathetic they were able to resolve | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
these issues will stop it is like you were saying from your own | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
experiences about having open conversations early and the reason | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
that is important for women is you need to declare your pregnancy for | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
the legal rights to kick in, for you to be protected, and then you also | :40:41. | :40:46. | |
have certain obligations to talk about how you would like to take | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
maternity leave when you reach a round the six-month point. There | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
needs to be open conversations about what you need as an employee as much | :40:55. | :41:01. | |
as what the employer needs to run their business effectively. Lobbe, | :41:02. | :41:04. | |
it sounds as though you would have a good case against your previous | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
employer but you did not pursue them legally, why is that? Mainly because | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
I was scared, I did not know what I could bring up, I did not know what | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
the laws were, and it took me a long time to come to terms with my | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
experience so I have lots of help and support from various | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
organisations like the Young Women's Trust and friends and family who | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
supported me through the journey and it has only been in the last year or | :41:30. | :41:33. | |
so that I have started speaking up about everything that happened, and | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
speaking about how it needs to change. This text from Rebecca who | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
is listening, I was 34 when I became pregnant with my first baby working | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
in a management role board of the UK's largest employers in a male | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
dominated technology area. Two days after notifying work of my pregnancy | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
I was removed by my manager from my role and put in an area of the | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
company to be redeployed where you were also encouraged to leave the | :42:01. | :42:03. | |
business. It was only after union involvement that I was allowed to | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
return after maternity leave to the same role. | :42:08. | :42:23. | |
If I had not gone through it, I would never have believed it could | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
happen in this day and age. That is what is shocking, we have | :42:28. | :42:29. | |
the legislation, equality laws are there, it is illegal to discriminate | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
against a woman who says she is having a baby or wants to come back | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
to work, and yet it happens and people get away with it. They do, | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
and we have some views on that. It is important for employers to | :42:39. | :42:40. | |
realise that women don't want to take them to court, they want an | :42:41. | :42:43. | |
opportunity to talk through the problem and find a mutually | :42:44. | :42:45. | |
agreeable solution and when our statistics show that most women who | :42:46. | :42:47. | |
experience a bad time at work, potentially discriminatory, don't | :42:48. | :42:49. | |
follow all the way through and some of the reason for that is they have | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
other things going on in their lives, they are pregnant, they may | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
be very tired, they are anxious about the impact They cannot afford | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
it. In March we published a series of recommendations to Government and | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
one of those was around asking Government to consider what barriers | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
there were in front of women who face pregnancy or maternity | :43:13. | :43:15. | |
discrimination and what barriers there were to accessing justice. | :43:16. | :43:18. | |
That is in the hands of Government at the moment. I was just going to | :43:19. | :43:24. | |
say, from a business perspective, I am embarrassed to hear that story. | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
You cannot be held accountable for all of the bad bosses in the | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
country! It is shocking. It is very good of you, Carl. Thank you all for | :43:36. | :43:36. | |
coming on the programme. Still to come: Nearly a quarter | :43:37. | :43:39. | |
of a million people took to the streets of Leicester last | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
night to celebrate their team's We'll talk to one of our favourite | :43:43. | :43:44. | |
Leicester City fans - Mr Gary L Johnson - | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
named after Gary Lineker with an L It's probably safe to assume | :43:49. | :43:51. | |
he didn't get much Angelina Jolie Pitt has made a | :43:52. | :44:01. | |
passionate plea to help millions of desperate migrants saying the global | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
monetary system for refugees has broken down. | :44:07. | :44:15. | |
Newsround's Ricky Boleto exclusively met her along with a group of 11, | :44:16. | :44:17. | |
So Angelina Jolie-Pitt thank you so much for | :44:18. | :44:24. | |
We have got these kids with us today and they have got some questions for | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
They have each got a question that if that's OK. | :44:30. | :44:32. | |
So we'll start with Maran, what's your | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
So as we all know you have visited many refugee | :44:36. | :44:39. | |
camps over the years, can you tell us what life | :44:40. | :44:41. | |
The thing that I think would shock you the most is now the average stay | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
So that means if you were born in a refugee | :44:47. | :44:50. | |
camp your whole childhood is | :44:51. | :44:51. | |
You often can't farm on it, you don't have the right to farm on it. | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
You don't have the right to make it your | :44:58. | :44:59. | |
You have a number and you get your food | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
once a month and you only get what they give you, | :45:04. | :45:06. | |
you don't get special spices or little things that make it | :45:07. | :45:09. | |
personal like when your mum cooks at home and stuff like that. | :45:10. | :45:12. | |
A lot of times there aren't funds for school | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
and especially secondary, so your education is very limited. | :45:16. | :45:17. | |
So a lot of times little kids are kind of | :45:18. | :45:19. | |
sitting there with nothing to do and it can feel a little bit like a | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
It can feel pretty tough, but I'm always amazed by the | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
attitude of the refugees because they are pretty strong people so | :45:28. | :45:29. | |
You have got a question, haven't you? | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
My question is how does migration affect us in terms of schools and | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
Well, I think, you know, of course when there is an | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
influx of people it will always affect schools and hospitals, but | :45:41. | :45:51. | |
they tend to find they hope that it won't go on forever. | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
It will be for a few years and for those few years they are | :45:55. | :45:57. | |
going top to be very, very generous, and they are going to be affected | :45:58. | :46:00. | |
and maybe there is something more important that you possibly learn | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
from any textbook which is that you learn to share and learn | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
how to help someone when they are in | :46:07. | :46:08. | |
a situation where they could die if they were sent home. | :46:09. | :46:11. | |
We have spoken to some kids in the past, especially in the last 12 | :46:12. | :46:14. | |
months, where they said that perhaps in their area they think that | :46:15. | :46:17. | |
Britain is full or potentially their parents | :46:18. | :46:20. | |
Do you think they have the right to be worried? | :46:21. | :46:29. | |
Well, I think with or without migration, | :46:30. | :46:31. | |
that's what and lot of countries feel that way. | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
A lot of countries and feel around the world feel that | :46:35. | :46:41. | |
they fight to make sure there is employment and that is in | :46:42. | :46:44. | |
Bringing in refugees, do you think that could be | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
Oh oh well, I think there are some people that | :46:51. | :46:52. | |
would really like to make you feel like your life would be completely | :46:53. | :46:55. | |
different because a refugee family came | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
in and they took your job, but I do not believe that | :47:01. | :47:03. | |
I am somebody who believes that immigration can make a | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
country stronger and look at the diversity | :47:08. | :47:08. | |
How boring would it be if everybody was | :47:09. | :47:11. | |
exactly the same from the same country? | :47:12. | :47:13. | |
I think the kind of jobs that a refugee, an asylum seeker may get | :47:14. | :47:23. | |
is not necessarily the job that many people want | :47:24. | :47:31. | |
is not necessarily the job that many people want to have and they tend | :47:32. | :47:34. | |
to take any job they can to be able to just get by. | :47:35. | :47:37. | |
But I don't think they're going to jump forward and | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
take the job that somebody who has been living here for a while and I | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
think there does need to be proteches for people who have worked | :47:44. | :47:46. | |
a long time in this country and they shouldn't ever be put | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
I think it is very important that you take care | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
of your citizens and are able to give support to people in need. | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
How are we going so far? The nerves have gone. | :47:57. | :47:59. | |
Well, a great start, Gabriel, you have got | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
a question for Angelina, what is it? | :48:05. | :48:06. | |
How can we make sure that these people aren't labelled as | :48:07. | :48:09. | |
Well, I think part of the thing is, it is strange, isn't it, | :48:10. | :48:19. | |
that different, somebody from another culture, another | :48:20. | :48:22. | |
country, should be so interesting and these are people that survived, | :48:23. | :48:24. | |
maybe they survived bombs dropping in their neighbourhood. | :48:25. | :48:27. | |
Then they survived not being able to find food. | :48:28. | :48:29. | |
They survived and some of their family members | :48:30. | :48:31. | |
were taken from them. | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
Some of them had to cross and some of their family members drowned | :48:36. | :48:38. | |
at sea, they have survived so many things. | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
We don't want to disrespect and treat them as different, but | :48:42. | :48:43. | |
maybe the answer is to say that they are different | :48:44. | :48:46. | |
in a wonderful way and they are survivors and they are | :48:47. | :48:48. | |
people that we should be proud to get to know. | :48:49. | :48:54. | |
You're less selfish than other celebrities. | :48:55. | :49:02. | |
What makes you focus more time on | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
I felt, you know when I was growing up - I went through so | :49:09. | :49:18. | |
many, I didn't know what to do with my life. | :49:19. | :49:21. | |
I didn't know what it was to be happy. | :49:22. | :49:23. | |
When you can be a part of something in the world, then it | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
So I feel very lucky that I became aware of | :49:28. | :49:38. | |
this young and when I wake up in the morning the first thing is | :49:39. | :49:41. | |
I am a mum and that's the greatest thing for me in the world and then | :49:42. | :49:45. | |
I'm a person who lives in this world and wants to some good, I hope | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
A great question. OK, what's yours? | :49:50. | :50:00. | |
I'm 12 years old and I go to a school in London. | :50:01. | :50:03. | |
What can I do to help refugee children in our school? | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
I think the most important thing is to talk to them | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
and to be friends with them and to ask them questions about how they're | :50:10. | :50:12. | |
Basically if it was you, what would you want? | :50:13. | :50:27. | |
You put yourself in their shoes and you do what you would wish | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
would be done to you and learn about them because I bet it is fascinating | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
how they got here and where they're from and I bet you made | :50:35. | :50:37. | |
Do you think countries feel pressurised into letting refugees | :50:38. | :50:40. | |
They act and they speak about it as a big pressure, | :50:41. | :50:46. | |
but I don't think it is the kind of pressure that some countries face | :50:47. | :50:56. | |
when they have had four million refugees for 25 years, | :50:57. | :50:59. | |
it is a different kind of pressure and I don't think they should equate | :51:00. | :51:02. | |
themselves as if it is the same and again, | :51:03. | :51:08. | |
themselves as if it is the same and again, I think it is, you know, | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
it was set-up this way after World War | :51:13. | :51:14. | |
II to help balance the world when people are in need we need | :51:15. | :51:17. | |
Sometimes that's giving aid relief and sometimes that's | :51:18. | :51:21. | |
helping support another host country, but you have to do | :51:22. | :51:23. | |
something and really you should want to do something | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
because a stable world is what we all need and want | :51:27. | :51:28. | |
so the pressure should be that we don't want the world | :51:29. | :51:31. | |
to break apart and be full of chaos and instability. | :51:32. | :51:33. | |
We should feel we all better do something to try to just | :51:34. | :51:39. | |
make the world a more peaceful, stable place. | :51:40. | :51:41. | |
Whatever that is, whatever our countries can do, they | :51:42. | :51:44. | |
Almost a quarter of a million Leicester City fans saluted | :51:45. | :51:58. | |
their heroes during an open-top bus tour to celebrate the team | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
Last night's parade was official recognition of Leicester's | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
status as champions of England for the first time | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
Gary Johnson, Gary as in Gary Lineker, L | :52:08. | :52:24. | |
as in Leicester, was there and he captured what it was like to | :52:25. | :52:27. | |
see his team travel in triumph through the city's streets. | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
The weather is gorgeous. We are about tote got bus into the city | :52:32. | :52:41. | |
centre. The local bus company are allowing everyone travel into the | :52:42. | :52:44. | |
city for ?1. We are going to make the most of that which is lovely and | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
then we will look at the excitement that's building around the city! | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
It is about an hour since we last spoke and it is coming up to 5pm. | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
The crowd has been indeed travelled in more numbers now. Look at who is | :52:59. | :53:04. | |
here now. Lots of noise. Lots of people ready to see Leicester bring | :53:05. | :53:08. | |
along the trophy along the streets. Something tells me it is going to be | :53:09. | :53:12. | |
quite noisy when they do end up coming along in the end. They will | :53:13. | :53:17. | |
come from up the street, up here and they are going to go around the city | :53:18. | :53:22. | |
shows off what their achievement has been this year. It is five minute | :53:23. | :53:30. | |
from the parade start. The excitement here is building | :53:31. | :53:32. | |
completely. Everyone is getting ready. Are you ready? Yes. | :53:33. | :53:40. | |
LAUGHTER Always the optimistic happy person. | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
But it is very exciting. We can't wait to see who is going to be hold | :53:45. | :53:50. | |
the trophy at the front of the bus. They are five minutes away. | :53:51. | :53:56. | |
They are now making their way down the street. We can see lots of | :53:57. | :54:05. | |
confetti being chucked in the air at this moment of time and they are now | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
making their way towards us here. We are here at the clock tower at the | :54:10. | :54:11. | |
heart of Leicester. # We are the champions. | :54:12. | :55:11. | |
# No time for losers as we are the champions. | :55:12. | :55:20. | |
# Of the world. . # Well, let's talk to Gary. I love the | :55:21. | :55:28. | |
way you got into reporter's mode and you said, "Indeed you can see the | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
crowds gathering now." What a season. It has been amazing for you. | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
I'm so pleased for you. It is something that you cannot put into | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
words really. It is something that I would never thought I would ever see | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
as a Leicester City fan. We have made history this year, but I tell | :55:45. | :55:47. | |
you what, I think this is only the start of the story. People are | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
talking about oh what a shame it is the end of the season. This is only | :55:53. | :55:55. | |
the beginning for Leicester City. We are going to build on every moment | :55:56. | :55:58. | |
that we have achieved this season. Well, in what way? Are you talking | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
about doing, winning the Premier League again, is that a possibility? | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
You are in Europe. How, that's going to be really tough, isn't it? It is, | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
yes. I think it is at these times when we can really get on to our | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
players that haven't maybe played an important role this season, but they | :56:20. | :56:22. | |
have been behind the team that has been playing and we've got strength | :56:23. | :56:27. | |
that have played only very rarely this season and they are going to | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
have their moments next year. We also need to build upon, of course, | :56:32. | :56:37. | |
what we've got, but you know, we are in Champions League land as Claudio | :56:38. | :56:43. | |
Ranieri would say, dilly dong! When we first spoke to you however long | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
ago it was, you spoke to us from your bedroom where you had Doctor | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
Who posters. Describe where you are today, Gary? Well, I am at a day | :56:53. | :56:58. | |
centre which is where I do a lot of my youth activities and work for the | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
community. Ah. And they are all Leicester fans as | :57:02. | :57:12. | |
well? Oh, I persuaded many of them to become Leicester fans. In terms | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
of your name, we have never got to the bottom of this. Your parents | :57:18. | :57:21. | |
gave you that name. It was nothing to do with you, you didn't know what | :57:22. | :57:25. | |
was happening! But the L is for Leicester? Yeah. It is spelt the | :57:26. | :57:30. | |
same as the city its self, the football club. As you probably | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
gathered, I have a very mad father that wanted to call me by his | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
favourite star who he saw right at the start of his career, Gary | :57:40. | :57:43. | |
Lineker! And my middle name is named after the city. It is amazing. There | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
is not many people who can say their middle name is named after a | :57:50. | :57:52. | |
football club to be honest, it is great. Gary, you have been grillant. | :57:53. | :57:59. | |
Thank you for your video diaries and give me love to Sandra as well. I | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
don't know if we will ever speak again, but if not, bye-bye. | :58:05. | :58:05. | |
Thank you. | :58:06. | :58:09. |
