:00:08. > :00:09.Hello, it's nine o'clock, I'm Norman Smith,

:00:10. > :00:17.Could Government plans to cut Tata steel pension benefits to help

:00:18. > :00:19.save jobs have damaging implications for workers in other sectors?

:00:20. > :00:26.We'll look at the proposals and what they could mean.

:00:27. > :00:29.It's ten months since Victoria was diagnosed with breast cancer.

:00:30. > :00:30.Yesterday, she had her final radiotherapy session,

:00:31. > :00:34.and in her latest video diary that she has been keeping for this

:00:35. > :00:44.programme, she explained what that meant.

:00:45. > :00:48.30 sessions, five days a week, for the last six weeks.

:00:49. > :00:56.Oh gosh, I'm just so happy, I am actually happy,

:00:57. > :01:04.We'll have Victoria's full diary, through to the end of her

:01:05. > :01:10.radiotherapy treatment, coming up shortly.

:01:11. > :01:13.And we'll be talking to the top Facebook executive and mum of four

:01:14. > :01:15.Nicola Mendelsohn on why more women should be helped

:01:16. > :01:35.And if you have any comments you'd like us to put

:01:36. > :01:40.The company claims billions could be added to the economy

:01:41. > :01:44.if more women were given help to set up businesses.

:01:45. > :01:49.But in a week where the social networking giant had to climb down

:01:50. > :01:51.over refusing to run an advert of a plus-sized model,

:01:52. > :01:55.how do they plan to empower women into start-ups?

:01:56. > :01:58.Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning -

:01:59. > :02:01.use the hashtag Victoria LIVE and If you text, you will be charged

:02:02. > :02:12.The Government's being warned that its latest effort to try

:02:13. > :02:16.and save Tata Steel's UK operations could take ministers

:02:17. > :02:19.Ministers are considering making changing to pensions

:02:20. > :02:25.rules, as it is believed that the pension deficit -

:02:26. > :02:28.which is almost ?500 million - has been deterring

:02:29. > :02:32.Critics fear it could set a worrying precedent

:02:33. > :02:34.which could have an impact on other workers.

:02:35. > :02:47.Selling Tata Steel's lossmaking interests in Britain and protecting

:02:48. > :02:50.10,000 British steelworkers' jobs was never going to be easy.

:02:51. > :02:53.Workers took their fight to Westminster yesterday,

:02:54. > :02:56.as the Business Secretary, Sajid Javid, and Welsh First

:02:57. > :03:01.Minister, Carwyn Jones, met with Tata executives in Mumbai

:03:02. > :03:04.to find out what the UK can do to help.

:03:05. > :03:07.The ?15 billion pension scheme, with its ?500 million pension

:03:08. > :03:10.deficit, has been a sticking point for any would-be buyers.

:03:11. > :03:13.One option to reduce the burden would be to reduce the benefits

:03:14. > :03:27.Later today, ministers are expected to announce a consultation

:03:28. > :03:30.on linking the scheme's pension payments to the Consumer Price

:03:31. > :03:32.Index, which is usually lower than the current

:03:33. > :03:37.While this may be considered a dangerous precedent,

:03:38. > :03:40.it is thought to be the best chance to get a sale.

:03:41. > :03:44.We will continue to talk with them, to make sure

:03:45. > :03:47.that they are a responsible seller and to make sure that our members,

:03:48. > :03:51.workers, and everybody in the UK has an input in how the steel industry

:03:52. > :04:02.Tata's British steel-making business makes huge losses,

:04:03. > :04:04.and these proposed changes to the pension scheme reflect

:04:05. > :04:07.the sense of urgency on all sides to resolve a crisis that

:04:08. > :04:20.threatens the jobs of 10,000 British steelworkers.

:04:21. > :04:28.Well, our business brain Simon Jack joins us now. Everyone wants to save

:04:29. > :04:30.Tata Steel if possible, but how big an issue is the pension fund and

:04:31. > :04:34.what are the chances of being able to crack that problem? This is the

:04:35. > :04:40.old British Steel pension fund. It is one of the biggest in the UK, it

:04:41. > :04:44.has ?15 billion of pension promises it has to pay out. It is ?500

:04:45. > :04:50.million short of being able to fund the promises so it has been a source

:04:51. > :04:54.of unease for Tata itself, it has been a dale breaker for any buyer,

:04:55. > :04:57.they don't want this millstone round their neck, so the question is what

:04:58. > :05:03.do you do about the pension snund there is a couple 06 options. It can

:05:04. > :05:07.slide so into the Pension Protection Fund which is the lifeboat fund but

:05:08. > :05:11.it will be a big weight in that raft. You can, the Government could

:05:12. > :05:15.take it on, nationalise the pension, they did for Royal Mail but that was

:05:16. > :05:19.originally a government owned enterprise, it wasn't as if we were

:05:20. > :05:24.going from the private sector into the public sector, what else can you

:05:25. > :05:30.do? Maybe we will hear in a few minutes, you can reduce the amount

:05:31. > :05:36.that future benefits go up, by not the RPI but the lower CPI measure of

:05:37. > :05:39.inflation, we think that might knock ?2.5 billion off the total liables

:05:40. > :05:44.but it would be too much for some of the other buyers. A couple of

:05:45. > :05:47.thoughts for that, one is how much nervousness is there that other

:05:48. > :05:51.companies, if they get into difficulties will say right, we will

:05:52. > :05:55.cut our Pensions Bill? Even if they do this, is that really going to be

:05:56. > :06:00.enough to take on this company, which is losing 1 million a day? A

:06:01. > :06:05.couple of thoughts there. Tata were in a massive hurry back in March to

:06:06. > :06:09.get rid. They said we are haemorrhaging money, things have

:06:10. > :06:13.changed in the steel industry. Prices have gone up a bit and the

:06:14. > :06:16.Government is focussed on trying to improve the landscape for the

:06:17. > :06:21.industry and they may be able do something about the fund. There is

:06:22. > :06:25.one option, this is an inducement to say to Tata, how about hanging on to

:06:26. > :06:30.it? What about that? If that happens and they have changed the pension

:06:31. > :06:33.scheme, it will, you know, cue accusation of sweetheart deal in

:06:34. > :06:38.politically sensitive industry a month before a referendum. OK, thank

:06:39. > :06:42.you so up many. A big day for folk at Port Talbot.

:06:43. > :06:45.In the next half hour we'll be talking to the former pensions

:06:46. > :06:49.Do get in touch with us throughout the morning -

:06:50. > :06:52.use the hashtag Victoria LIVE and If you text, you will be charged

:06:53. > :07:02.Anita is in the BBC News room with a summary of the rest of the day's

:07:03. > :07:06.news. Five migrants have died

:07:07. > :07:08.after an overcrowded fishing vessel More than 550 people were pulled

:07:09. > :07:13.from the sea by the Italian Navy According to officials,

:07:14. > :07:20.rescue operations off Libya's coast have increased in recent weeks due

:07:21. > :07:30.to calm seas and warmer weather. Workers at French nuclear power

:07:31. > :07:33.stations are due to down tools today amid growing industrial action over

:07:34. > :07:35.controversial labour reforms. The French Transport Minister has

:07:36. > :07:38.confirmed that 40% of French petrol stations are now closed or running

:07:39. > :07:41.short of fuel, after the largest union federation, CGT,

:07:42. > :07:42.blockaded refineries and depots in a dispute over reforms

:07:43. > :07:44.to employment law. Motorists are now panic-buying fuel

:07:45. > :07:55.to avoid shortages. With us now is our business

:07:56. > :08:02.correspondent Alice Baxter. Alice, morning to you, tell us more

:08:03. > :08:09.about the impact this action is having on the public Yes, it is

:08:10. > :08:13.huge, two weeks before the Euro 2016 football Championships come to

:08:14. > :08:18.France and we are seeing a collision between the oldest and most powerful

:08:19. > :08:20.of the trade unions and the Government, over these controversial

:08:21. > :08:25.labour reforms that went through Parliament, earlier in the month,

:08:26. > :08:30.crucially without a vote, making it easier for French companies to hire

:08:31. > :08:36.and fire, to relax those labour laws, so today, the CGT union has

:08:37. > :08:40.called for a one day strike across France's nuclear power plants, and

:08:41. > :08:46.16 of the 19 plants have agreed to the strike. It is a huge problem.

:08:47. > :08:51.75% of France's electricity comes from nuclear. We have already seen

:08:52. > :08:55.strikes and blockades across six of France's eight oil refineries as

:08:56. > :08:59.well, meaning the country is having to dip into its strategic oil

:09:00. > :09:04.reserves, and as you say, that is having a huge knock on effect on

:09:05. > :09:08.normal motorists and petrol stations, the Transport Minister

:09:09. > :09:14.said 40% of the stations are going to endure severe shortages so we are

:09:15. > :09:18.seeing this panic buying across the country, resulting in huge queues in

:09:19. > :09:23.front of the station, but sadly, for the French, that is not where the

:09:24. > :09:27.strikes are going to end. The CGT union has called for strikes across

:09:28. > :09:30.the Paris metro from next Thursday, and also, across the trains as well.

:09:31. > :09:33.Thank you for that. Delays in discharging patients

:09:34. > :09:36.from hospital when they are ready to leave is costing the NHS

:09:37. > :09:38.in England more than ?800 million a year, according

:09:39. > :09:40.to the public spending watchdog. The National Audit Office is calling

:09:41. > :09:43.for "radical action" to cut the number of older people on wards

:09:44. > :09:46.who don't need to be there. The Government says it's increasing

:09:47. > :10:01.funding to tackle the problem. Balance trusts sent more than 68

:10:02. > :10:04.million on private providers due to staff shortages and the rising

:10:05. > :10:08.number of emergency calls. Some trusts are spending in excess of ?10

:10:09. > :10:12.million a year. The college of paramedics say this is down to start

:10:13. > :10:17.shortages and a significant rise in emergency calls.

:10:18. > :10:20.Norman will get reaction to these figures from a former NHS finance

:10:21. > :10:23.Politicians from across the political divide are calling

:10:24. > :10:25.for coordinated action to fight online abuse, especially

:10:26. > :10:29.The campaign, inspired by the "Reclaim the Night" marches

:10:30. > :10:31.of the 1970s and 80s, aims to challenge

:10:32. > :10:32.aggressive and threatening behaviour on social media.

:10:33. > :10:41.The idea of having Jane Austen as the face of the next Bank

:10:42. > :10:44.of England ?10 note caused an abusive backlash on Twitter

:10:45. > :10:52.The MP Stella Creasy was bombarded with threatening messages.

:10:53. > :10:56.It is not for us to learn to cope with this kind of abuse.

:10:57. > :10:59.We have to stop it because our biggest worry is all the voices

:11:00. > :11:02.we are now starting to not hear in our debates because they are too

:11:03. > :11:05.Drawing inspiration from the Reclaim The Night marches

:11:06. > :11:07.of the 1970s and 80s, which demanded action

:11:33. > :11:41.It found 10,000 aggressive examples in a three-week period.

:11:42. > :11:43.In many ways, receiving just a single one of these tweets might

:11:44. > :11:46.be enough to frighten somebody away from a public debate or conversation

:11:47. > :11:49.that they were quite enjoying and they were quite

:11:53. > :11:58.The campaign is asking people to share their experiences,

:11:59. > :12:01.ideas and solutions to deal with this abuse, hoping to take

:12:02. > :12:04.the power away from the bullies and give it back to everyone else.

:14:08. > :14:15.Let us find out what is going on in the world of sport. What is

:14:16. > :14:20.happening? A lot is happening. We will focus on one thing, in this

:14:21. > :14:23.hour Norman, remember back in March the British middleweight boxing

:14:24. > :14:27.champion Nick Blackwell, he has that blood on the skull following his

:14:28. > :14:32.fight against Chris Eubank Junior, he was placed in an induced coma, it

:14:33. > :14:36.was an worrying harrowing time for his family and the sport. He has

:14:37. > :14:41.been speaking to the BBC this week about his experience. In a moment we

:14:42. > :14:46.will hear how his attitude towards the Eubanks has changed. But first

:14:47. > :14:49.he describes the moment he came out of his nine day coma. Obviously hard

:14:50. > :14:53.for me, being in that circumstances it was harder for my family, and any

:14:54. > :14:58.friends, seeing me collapse in the ring, seeing me in hospital, the way

:14:59. > :15:01.I was even when I woke up it was horrible because the doctors told

:15:02. > :15:05.them this could be the best he ever is, expect that, so, what they went

:15:06. > :15:09.through, was ten times worse than what I went through. The doctors

:15:10. > :15:13.explained to my family, the longer which in it was more positive. If I

:15:14. > :15:16.woke up straightaway, you know, I could have probably not been sat

:15:17. > :15:19.here talking to you right now. I didn't foe what happened. What

:15:20. > :15:24.happened, people tried to explain to me. When you are in that situation,

:15:25. > :15:27.it goes in one ear, out the other. I woke up feeling sorry for myself and

:15:28. > :15:34.people round me were ten times worse off. The person next to me died, it

:15:35. > :15:40.was horrible, you know, so I realise how lucky I was, just, I opened my

:15:41. > :15:44.eyes and a different outlook on live now, your health is the story. You

:15:45. > :15:47.don't realise house lucky you, we are talking now, walking, little

:15:48. > :15:54.things like that, we take for granted.

:15:55. > :16:01.He will never fight again, but his recovery is something to celebrate.

:16:02. > :16:07.Chris Eubank senior was in a fight that left Michael Watson

:16:08. > :16:14.brain-damaged and partially paralysed. He told his son to stop

:16:15. > :16:18.hitting Blackwell in the head, but the Blackwell family were upset that

:16:19. > :16:23.they spoke so publicly while he was still in a coma. Nick Blackwell has

:16:24. > :16:27.disputed that anybody could have known that he was going to collapse

:16:28. > :16:34.from an internal bleed. How has he saved my life? He did not

:16:35. > :16:39.know I was put into a coma, because he was hitting me and it was not

:16:40. > :16:44.affecting me. You are in debt to hurt people and get the win, he was

:16:45. > :16:52.trying to go to the body to stop me. In the 10th round, he says, you need

:16:53. > :16:56.to get him out of there. If I knew I was hurting him to the head, I would

:16:57. > :16:59.keep hitting him in the head, because I want to win the fight. I

:17:00. > :17:05.would not expecting to go into a coma. I would not think about a

:17:06. > :17:11.press conference, but if my family and trainer wanted to, with

:17:12. > :17:16.everybody begging you not to, I would not do it. If they wanted to

:17:17. > :17:21.see me, they could have said, but we come and see Nick? My family and

:17:22. > :17:28.friends would have been fine with it. But they went on social media,

:17:29. > :17:31.looking like he wanted to see me. You do not have to do that to look

:17:32. > :17:36.like you care. If you cared, you would come and see me. That is what

:17:37. > :17:40.I would have done. Social media would have been the last thing I was

:17:41. > :17:44.thinking of. Chris Eubank Jr has said he is

:17:45. > :17:48.shocked by his comments but he has still offered to give him the belt

:17:49. > :17:54.he won that night as a gesture of goodwill. It is a shame that what

:17:55. > :17:59.appeared such a good news story all round with Blackwell's recovery has

:18:00. > :18:00.turned a little bit sour. I am back with the rest of the sports

:18:01. > :18:02.headlines in 20 minutes. Ten months after being diagnosed

:18:03. > :18:05.with breast cancer, Victoria has She had her last radiotherapy

:18:06. > :18:15.session yesterday. As you know, Victoria has been

:18:16. > :18:17.keeping a series of video diaries for this programme,

:18:18. > :18:19.to try and demistify some of the treatment

:18:20. > :18:22.associated with breast cancer. In November, she began chemotherapy,

:18:23. > :18:28.and over the last six weeks she's been having daily radiotherapy

:18:29. > :18:32.sessions at St Luke's Cancer Centre at the Royal Surrey NHS County

:18:33. > :18:35.Hospital. It is Wednesday 13th April

:18:36. > :18:44.and I have just got back from my The actual radiotherapy bit,

:18:45. > :18:50.the appointment, was fine. You lie on a bed, you put your arms

:18:51. > :18:55.up, and take the top half There is a large disk above you that

:18:56. > :19:00.angles and the radiation beams come from there and target the right hand

:19:01. > :19:03.side of me, the right breast You can't see the beams,

:19:04. > :19:07.they don't shoot out from this large piece of machinery,

:19:08. > :19:11.it is not like Star Wars. The inconvenient thing

:19:12. > :19:14.is when you consider it is an appointment every day,

:19:15. > :19:19.five days a week for six weeks, it is an hour's round trip

:19:20. > :19:21.because they don't do radiotherapy Hopefully one day they will

:19:22. > :19:25.for other patients. So I have to drive

:19:26. > :19:30.a bit to get there. So that is a bit of a pain

:19:31. > :19:32.because it just takes out such

:19:33. > :19:34.a chunk of the day. Anyway, at least radiotherapy has

:19:35. > :19:37.started and it means hopefully in six weeks I can draw a line under

:19:38. > :19:46.the media treatment. I've just got back

:19:47. > :19:48.from the appointment. The appointment was ten minutes long

:19:49. > :19:55.and they saw me about 15 minutes So travelling a 40-odd mile

:19:56. > :20:02.round trip, I think it is, for a ten minute appointment, is quite

:20:03. > :20:05.frustrating and clearly it is an issue for hundreds and

:20:06. > :20:08.hundreds of patients. You cannot always get

:20:09. > :20:12.treatment you need, the bespoke treatment you need, in your local

:20:13. > :20:23.You just have to put up with it, I suppose, don't you?

:20:24. > :20:28.I'm just squeezing in a dog walk before I

:20:29. > :20:30.have to go off to the hospital again.

:20:31. > :20:52.Dashed back from work, quick dog walk with Gracie,

:20:53. > :20:56.When I finish today's radiotherapy session, I will be one

:20:57. > :21:00.It is interesting how many people don't know what radiotherapy is,

:21:01. > :21:02.including me until I started this course of radiotherapy.

:21:03. > :21:05.It was recommended for me after I had my mastectomy,

:21:06. > :21:08.My understanding is that when you remove the breast cells,

:21:09. > :21:11.it can be very difficult to remove all the breast-cancer cells,

:21:12. > :21:14.so radiation, radiotherapy, will kill any of those breast-cancer

:21:15. > :21:18.cells that are still hanging around on the mastectomy site,

:21:19. > :21:20.Possible side effects from radiotherapy include

:21:21. > :21:24.burning of the skin, rawness of the skin,

:21:25. > :21:27.very much helped if you keep the area moisturised,

:21:28. > :21:31.When I asked the lovely radiographers why radiotherapy makes

:21:32. > :21:34.you tired, they said because the radiation

:21:35. > :21:37.is killing your cells, your body is expending a lot

:21:38. > :21:42.of energy trying to repair the cells.

:21:43. > :21:47.Very unusually, I am having a real wobble today.

:21:48. > :21:54.And I am sure this is completely normal for anybody who has ever

:21:55. > :22:03.I am thinking about, what if this cancer comes back?

:22:04. > :22:05.Obviously I never ever want that to happen.

:22:06. > :22:07.I never want to go through chemotherapy again ever.

:22:08. > :22:11.I just do not want it to come back and I don't know why this

:22:12. > :22:28.I just want this to have been a blip and I just get on with my life,

:22:29. > :22:35.my kids' life, my partner's life, my family's future.

:22:36. > :22:43.It's Friday afternoon, May 6th, I think.

:22:44. > :22:50.One of the radiographers just told me I was over the halfway mark.

:22:51. > :22:52.I haven't been counting because there are so many sessions

:22:53. > :23:02.The therapeutic radiographers, as they are known, are utterly

:23:03. > :23:06.charming and seeing them each day breaks up the absolute monotony

:23:07. > :23:13.Anyway, I've got to go because I've got to pick my son up from school

:23:14. > :23:22.It is Wednesday 18th May and I have only got five

:23:23. > :23:24.radiotherapy sessions left, so this time next week

:23:25. > :23:34.Although I can't quite forget everything because from then

:23:35. > :23:39.on I will have to take a tablet everyday called tamoxifen

:23:40. > :23:44.to try to stop the breast cancer coming back.

:23:45. > :23:47.Some breast cancers are fuelled, stimulated, by the

:23:48. > :23:55.What tamoxifen does is block oestrogen from attaching

:23:56. > :24:03.There are of course side effects to tamoxifen.

:24:04. > :24:10.Headaches, feeling dizzy, leg cramps, joint pain,

:24:11. > :24:13.weight gain, changes in mood and concentration.

:24:14. > :24:23.And I might be taking that, like lots of women and men,

:24:24. > :24:26.some are actually men who have breast cancer, I might be taking

:24:27. > :24:30.Obviously I asked what happens after ten years and

:24:31. > :24:37.There isn't evidence to show what happens after ten years

:24:38. > :24:39.because they haven't carried on the trials after

:24:40. > :24:49.Not something I would normally get excited about but let me just show

:24:50. > :25:11.I had lost all of my eyelashes and most of my eyebrows in chemo.

:25:12. > :25:15.12 weeks, three months after my last session of chemotherapy,

:25:16. > :25:31.OK, I am going to show you the scar from my surgery.

:25:32. > :25:36.Last October, so seven months ago, I had a mastectomy.

:25:37. > :25:40.The reason I want to show you is because I know some women,

:25:41. > :25:43.and some men have mastectomies to, worry about what the area,

:25:44. > :25:46.the skin, will look like after having a breast removed.

:25:47. > :25:49.So bear with me one second and I will put

:25:50. > :26:06.The reason it's mildly pink is from the radiotherapy.

:26:07. > :26:09.Five weeks' worth of radiation can turn your skin pink or red

:26:10. > :26:13.I've had quite a low dosage spread over a longer period of time

:26:14. > :26:18.But I hope you will agree that is minimal.

:26:19. > :26:21.That scar is minimal and that is because the consultants

:26:22. > :26:42.So hopefully that wasn't too grim and slightly reassuring.

:26:43. > :26:44.It's Wednesday 25th May and I'm done.

:26:45. > :26:48.That was my last radiotherapy session.

:26:49. > :26:56.30 sessions, five days a week for the last six weeks,

:26:57. > :27:15.And hopefully that is it for cancer treatment forever,

:27:16. > :27:23.I worked out by the way at the weekend I'd driven in total

:27:24. > :27:26.just over 1,000 miles to this hospital and back

:27:27. > :27:30.Not that that matters, because it doesn't matter how many it is.

:27:31. > :27:33.If it is going to reduce your chances of breast cancer

:27:34. > :27:38.recurring, then of course you are going to do it.

:27:39. > :27:52.There are so many people I want to thank and most

:27:53. > :27:57.The diligent and utterly charming radiographers who I have got to know

:27:58. > :28:02.The brilliant oncologist who will review my treatment

:28:03. > :28:09.Registrars, the anaesthetists, the nurses in the chemotherapy ward

:28:10. > :28:21.The amazing surgeon who I go and see again in the summer and hopefully

:28:22. > :28:26.he will say, "Well, logic would dictate you're cancer-free,"

:28:27. > :28:32.but I will see what he says at my appointment in the summer.

:28:33. > :28:39.All of those of you who got in touch and sent me uplifting and supporting

:28:40. > :28:50.Obviously, my family and my close friends have been superb.

:28:51. > :28:56.And I wanted to say to you right now, if you are going through cancer

:28:57. > :28:59.treatment, or you are about to go through cancer treatment,

:29:00. > :29:01.I am sending you all my love and strength.

:29:02. > :29:15.On 31st July 2015, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

:29:16. > :29:18.One mastectomy, six sessions of chemotherapy, 30 days

:29:19. > :29:23.of radiotherapy later, I feel like this could be a fresh

:29:24. > :29:30.start and I know not everybody gets that opportunity.

:29:31. > :29:37.I am completely aware of that and so I am very grateful.

:29:38. > :29:54.It's time to crack on with the rest of my life.

:29:55. > :29:57.I am now off to Glasgow to prepare for a TV debate on the EU

:36:50. > :36:51.cuts to British Steel pension benefits in a bid

:36:52. > :36:54.to save Tata Steel's UK operations. But what will it mean

:36:55. > :36:56.for the rest of us? Steve Webb, the former

:36:57. > :36:58.Liberal Democrat pensions minister, now director of policy

:36:59. > :37:19.at pension provider, Steve, the real concern has to be

:37:20. > :37:22.that this is basically, paving the way for potential cuts to well,

:37:23. > :37:26.pretty much everyone's pensions. That is the worry. I don't think

:37:27. > :37:29.anyone doubts the Government's motivation is trying to fix steel

:37:30. > :37:32.jobs and that is laudable. But the worry is it is hard to pass a law

:37:33. > :37:37.that only affects one pension scheme. Once you have broken the

:37:38. > :37:40.principle that a promise made has to be kept, millions of other people

:37:41. > :37:44.drawing pensions could be affected. Could they not say this Shaw just

:37:45. > :37:48.Tata Steel? Could they not ring-fence it? There is two reasons

:37:49. > :37:53.why that is difficult. One is the EU state aid rules that you can't just

:37:54. > :37:56.favour one company in a competitive market, so there may be challenges

:37:57. > :38:00.there and the other is writing the law of the land. They will say you

:38:01. > :38:04.have to go to court, but the lawyers of the other firms in Britain who

:38:05. > :38:11.have holes in their pension fund will read it carefully and think can

:38:12. > :38:15.we go through this loophole. If you are the Business Secretary, your

:38:16. > :38:18.options are getting narrow, presumably, if the company goes

:38:19. > :38:22.bust, then, the Pension Protection Fund is going, taxpayer are going to

:38:23. > :38:27.have to pick up, or what about the idea of doing what we did with Royal

:38:28. > :38:31.Mail and the Government basically nationalising the pension fund, take

:38:32. > :38:35.it onboard? The danger is while everyone is focussed on steel at the

:38:36. > :38:38.moment I could be energy, automotives, so once you have

:38:39. > :38:42.established that precedent, the thing about the Pension Protection

:38:43. > :38:47.Fund it is other pension funds who pay for it. What you have to make

:38:48. > :38:54.sure is not set a precedent and have a ripple. Rush legislation comes

:38:55. > :38:59.back to haunt governments. I may be overcynical, excuse me if I am, is

:39:00. > :39:03.this about keeping the talks going, putting it out to keep the talks go,

:39:04. > :39:07.because we are in the middle of a referendum debate. The last thing is

:39:08. > :39:13.Government needs is 12,000 jobs going down the pan. Is that a bit

:39:14. > :39:17.too mean minded? They don't want the talks to collapse but they are

:39:18. > :39:21.tortuous, if the law were to go through it would take month, so this

:39:22. > :39:24.was never going to be a quick fix, the worry is the long-term

:39:25. > :39:29.consequences of a short-term deal. OK, thank you so much for your time.

:39:30. > :39:31.At least 10,000 children could be at "terrible risk"

:39:32. > :39:33.because they are effectively off police radar when they go missing,

:39:34. > :39:39.At the moment there is a two-tier police system for recording

:39:40. > :39:42.There are two categories, missing and absent, and crucially

:39:43. > :39:48.only those treated as missing get an active police response.

:39:49. > :39:51.The All Party Parliamentary Group For Runaway And Missing Children

:39:52. > :39:58.And Adults says this system is dangerous and must be scrapped.

:39:59. > :40:01.In the studio to discuss this is Ann Coffey,

:40:02. > :40:04.who as well as being a Labour MP was the lead on the inquiry

:40:05. > :40:07.by the All Party Parliamentary Group For Runaway And Missing Children

:40:08. > :40:10.And Adults, and Lucy Capron, who works at the Children's Society,

:40:11. > :40:20.which supports children who run away from home.

:40:21. > :40:28.Talk me through the nuts and bolts be of the problem here, Anne. When a

:40:29. > :40:32.child goes missing, they will get through to a police handler and on

:40:33. > :40:35.the basis of a number of very limited questions that are asked by

:40:36. > :40:39.that police handler, the child will be put into either the missing

:40:40. > :40:43.category or the absent category. The child is put into the absent

:40:44. > :40:49.category there is no active police response. We are very concerned is

:40:50. > :40:54.about this, because children on that basis of that crude assessment, may

:40:55. > :41:00.be in situations, in which they are at risk, which is not picked up. So,

:41:01. > :41:05.maybe, but Lucy, is there evidence that some of these children who are

:41:06. > :41:09.in this second category, mine really do get into very difficult and

:41:10. > :41:12.dangerous situations is or is it a fear that they might? No,

:41:13. > :41:18.unfortunately at the Children's Society we see it does happen, just

:41:19. > :41:21.to give you one example we support add 15-year-old girl reported

:41:22. > :41:25.missing by her parents and she was going to see an older boyfriend. She

:41:26. > :41:28.was recorded as absent, so she didn't get an active police

:41:29. > :41:33.response. People didn't go and look for her and she was at risk of

:41:34. > :41:37.sexual exploitation and human trafficking so it does happen that

:41:38. > :41:43.children today cat griesed at absent are at risk, that is why we have

:41:44. > :41:47.concerned. Here is the thing, if either of my girls was to go

:41:48. > :41:51.missing, I would be going berserk say you to do something, every

:41:52. > :41:58.parent would. So the problem surely is that every child who goes, their

:41:59. > :42:01.parent is going to want them to be classed as missing, they will want

:42:02. > :42:06.the police to look for them. It is true. It is important that police

:42:07. > :42:11.listen to parent, but this system was introduced originally in 2013,

:42:12. > :42:15.to save police time, because a lots of police resources go into missing

:42:16. > :42:20.children and missing persons report. It was nerve intended to be a

:42:21. > :42:23.strong, safeguarding system, and the concern is that indeed parents have

:42:24. > :42:26.expressed that concern, that they have been concerned about their

:42:27. > :42:30.child going missing, but the police have taken the view that perhaps

:42:31. > :42:35.that child is not at risk because they are older, perhaps an older

:42:36. > :42:38.teenager or something like that. Is there an issue, Lucy, of police

:42:39. > :42:42.attitudes? I say that with some hesitation because I would imagine

:42:43. > :42:45.in the wake of you know the grooming scandals we had in Rotherham and

:42:46. > :42:49.Rochdale, that would have been such a sort of wake up to the police, but

:42:50. > :42:53.I mean is there an issue that maybe the police put it down at the bottom

:42:54. > :42:56.of the pile? I think police take missing children seriously, what

:42:57. > :43:02.they don't often have is a complete picture of the risk they face, so

:43:03. > :43:05.often the parents might know if this disappearance south of character but

:43:06. > :43:08.the local authority Children's Services department might know if

:43:09. > :43:11.that children is at risk. What we are concerned about is police don't

:43:12. > :43:15.have a complete picture when they choose whether or not they put a

:43:16. > :43:20.child in an absent or missing category. We see they don't share

:43:21. > :43:27.that information effectively and that places them at risk. What to do

:43:28. > :43:30.then? Do you have some bureaucratic risk assessment where a policeman

:43:31. > :43:34.had to tick off all the things? I imagine some will say I have been in

:43:35. > :43:37.the job a long time. They have instinct and experience and think

:43:38. > :43:41.the paperwork is not going to solve this. I know which children are at

:43:42. > :43:45.risk? We need to get to the situation where we know what is

:43:46. > :43:49.going on in a child's life. Lots of people know what is going on in

:43:50. > :43:53.their lives. The school, the parents, Children's Service, and the

:43:54. > :43:57.police know what is going on. We need to get to a point where that

:43:58. > :44:01.information is available, so when the child goes missing, we can

:44:02. > :44:05.arrive at a better ament about whether we need a police

:44:06. > :44:08.intervention or maybe some other kind, and what level of risk that

:44:09. > :44:12.child is exposed to. The data is there. The information is there, we

:45:45. > :45:49.remaining in for at least a year and those leaving for at least a year.

:45:50. > :45:59.That figure is the second-highest level on record and is up 20,000

:46:00. > :46:03.from 2014. How significant and surprising these figures? They are

:46:04. > :46:08.significant because they are the last figures before the EU

:46:09. > :46:12.referendum. And because it shows that the Government is still a long

:46:13. > :46:19.way off from meeting its target of getting net migration to below

:46:20. > :46:24.100,000. 333,000, they have to cut it by over 200,000 to get to their

:46:25. > :46:28.target. In terms of movement, there is not a lot of movement compared to

:46:29. > :46:34.the previous seven figures, which came out for the 12 months to

:46:35. > :46:38.September. They are up slightly. Competitor and 14, up a little bit,

:46:39. > :46:43.but not a great deal. The one chink of light for the Government is that

:46:44. > :46:48.the figures are not moving hugely, but they are still very high. I

:46:49. > :46:49.guarantee there will be some Eurosceptics keen to bash ministers

:46:50. > :46:52.about that. As the biggest disabled motoring

:47:39. > :47:44.for the mobility road show. This is being organised eye the charity

:47:45. > :47:49.mobility choice, it has been going for 30 odd years. I have spent the

:47:50. > :47:53.morning in this wheelchair accessible vehicle. There is lots of

:47:54. > :48:00.this equipment technology at the road show, so I got in an electric

:48:01. > :48:04.wheelchair, drove in, and I am here, a very light steering wheel,

:48:05. > :48:10.budgets, that I don't know what I am doing with that could be disastrous,

:48:11. > :48:16.live on TV! It is a fun day out but it is also important, because

:48:17. > :48:18.disabled people cannot just call their local driving instructor, but

:48:19. > :48:23.lessons and they will have a vehicle like this. This is the only place

:48:24. > :48:32.they can test drive and find out what a suitable for them. I am here

:48:33. > :48:37.with the chair of the charity. Why is this road show so important? It

:48:38. > :48:41.is the only opportunity for many disabled people to try out the full

:48:42. > :48:47.range of vehicles and equipment, everything from scooters and buggies

:48:48. > :48:51.to cars, vans. For many people, they need to compare and contrast and

:48:52. > :48:56.check out what suits their needs. Whether you are an experienced

:48:57. > :49:00.disabled driver or somebody new to disability, maybe it is your first

:49:01. > :49:03.time looking for equipment and adaptations, or a young person with

:49:04. > :49:10.a disability coming up to driving range, we have a lot of equipment

:49:11. > :49:15.and advice. Technology is getting so good, it is ridiculous. I spent the

:49:16. > :49:17.day yesterday meeting disabled people to find out how the

:49:18. > :49:19.technology helps them. You wouldn't expect to see

:49:20. > :49:22.this at Silverstone. Adapted cars, not the kind that make

:49:23. > :49:27.you go faster. These motors at the Mobility Road

:49:28. > :49:29.Show enable people with all kinds of disabilities to get behind

:49:30. > :49:32.the wheel. A motocross accident

:49:33. > :49:39.left him paralysed. He is an example of how specialist

:49:40. > :49:46.car adaptions have allowed him to become the only disabled driver

:49:47. > :49:50.in his class, but they also make In this car I have

:49:51. > :49:58.push-pull hand controls. Pull it to accelerate and pushing it

:49:59. > :50:00.presses the brake. Other than that it is

:50:01. > :50:03.a normal automatic car. I need the steering wheel as well

:50:04. > :50:06.to enable me to steer all the way The car is incredibly

:50:07. > :50:10.important to me. I can go to a friend's

:50:11. > :50:15.all by myself. I don't have to rely on my parents

:50:16. > :50:19.or someone else to give me a lift. Technology like this is opening up

:50:20. > :50:23.a whole new world for disabled drivers, but charities are concerned

:50:24. > :50:27.that getting the chance to use Aaron gets this car through a scheme

:50:28. > :50:38.called Motability, something you are only eligible

:50:39. > :50:42.for if you are in receipt But Government reforms mean that

:50:43. > :50:48.almost 20,000 disabled people have been reassessed as no longer needing

:50:49. > :50:51.the higher rate, and have It is very frustrating to see

:50:52. > :50:58.so many people losing their cars and many, many thousands of people

:50:59. > :51:02.that have yet to be assessed, who will also be quite worried

:51:03. > :51:06.about that aspect because they will lose their independence

:51:07. > :51:11.and their freedom. The Government says that

:51:12. > :51:13.when considering whether someone is eligible, all evidence is taken

:51:14. > :51:18.into account and a support package is available to help those

:51:19. > :51:25.affected stay mobile. But there are people that get

:51:26. > :51:27.a higher-rate benefit that She can get a car on Motability

:51:28. > :51:35.but nothing she can actually drive. If I want to go somewhere,

:51:36. > :51:40.I ring somebody and it is a case of having to sit there and letting

:51:41. > :51:43.them do everything. I feel like I am a burden sometimes

:51:44. > :51:51.because I need people to help me. If I was to get a car, it would

:51:52. > :52:00.bring all my independence back. Steph needs a car like this,

:52:01. > :52:09.which she can drive straight in in her electric wheelchair,

:52:10. > :52:11.but they don't come cheap. Today at Silverstone she's taking it

:52:12. > :52:14.for a spin with instructor John. How much different is it

:52:15. > :52:16.in a car like this? I wouldn't have to worry

:52:17. > :52:18.about asking anybody I could get in the car

:52:19. > :52:23.and go where I want. More than 600,000 disabled people

:52:24. > :52:37.lease cars through Motability, however they admit they have to make

:52:38. > :52:42.difficult decisions so that they can For now Steph will only be able

:53:02. > :53:13.instructor with the break that you saw in the film. White art adaptions

:53:14. > :53:18.so important? You don't have to have four limbs to drive a car. If you

:53:19. > :53:24.have use in one limb, you can drive a car, you can use the accelerator,

:53:25. > :53:29.break and steering. The more limbs you have, the easier it is and the

:53:30. > :53:35.cheaper the adaptations are. Do you find that some disabled people are

:53:36. > :53:38.excluded? It does happen. Sometimes it is because the cost of the

:53:39. > :53:44.adaptations and the fact that it is difficult getting the funding for

:53:45. > :53:48.them. Sometimes... The classic example is somebody with upper limb

:53:49. > :53:54.disability that fall through the net. If you have a mobility issue,

:53:55. > :53:59.you can get funding for adaptations and cars, but if you have got two

:54:00. > :54:03.good legs and no arms at all, there is not any means of funding so you

:54:04. > :54:09.can drive a car, so you have to fund it yourself. You might have to be

:54:10. > :54:15.spending upwards of ?10,000 just operating the accelerator, break and

:54:16. > :54:18.steering wheel. It is pricey. I am definitely going to need the

:54:19. > :54:27.emergency brake. I don't think I can put it in driver mode. Hop in, let's

:54:28. > :54:33.have a look. We have an incredibly light steering wheel, it is

:54:34. > :54:43.ridiculous. That is a bonus. That is the break. Thank you! I will give it

:54:44. > :54:49.a go in a second. What is this? That is the ring accelerator. If you

:54:50. > :54:56.press it down gently, that makes the engine revs. The lever to your right

:54:57. > :55:05.operates the brake. I can't do this very well. I can help you with that.

:55:06. > :55:11.What is this here? That is the gear selector. If I press the brake... I

:55:12. > :55:18.pull it down. That is reverse, that is drive. You have done it. That is

:55:19. > :55:26.the gear selector. I will take the brake off. Are you ready? We are

:55:27. > :55:36.going to drive down the pits a little bit. Here we go. It is very

:55:37. > :55:44.fast. Brilliant. Slow down and stop before the blue car. There we go.

:55:45. > :55:49.I am not saying anything about women drivers, I am sure she is a terrific

:55:50. > :55:53.driver! So many e-mails and texts and tweets following Victoria's

:55:54. > :56:01.latest diary. They have been going massive. This is an e-mail from

:56:02. > :56:06.Brenda, just to say how brave you have been, sharing your story. I am

:56:07. > :56:10.recovering from chemotherapy, and a whole month of radiotherapy after

:56:11. > :56:17.being diagnosed. I always think it will come back, as nobody can say to

:56:18. > :56:21.you, no. I have had great support from my daughter and family, I live

:56:22. > :56:27.from day to day and not let this play on my mind. But it is always

:56:28. > :56:31.there. A tweet says, there are no other word but amazingly courageous

:56:32. > :56:37.to describe you. A tweet says, all the best, you have made's remained

:56:38. > :56:43.brave and professional throughout, well done. Jane says, good wishes

:56:44. > :56:46.for the future now you have finished your radiotherapy. Your video blog

:56:56. > :56:56.video diaries, bursting some of the myths, well done. Onwards and

:56:59. > :57:00.since Victoria was diagnosed with breast cancer, she's

:57:01. > :57:08.finished her radiotherapy session. I am thinking, what if this cancer

:57:09. > :57:13.comes back? Obviously, I never, ever wanted this

:57:14. > :57:15.to happen, that to happen. I never want to go through

:57:16. > :57:17.chemotherapy again, ever. I don't know why this

:57:18. > :57:37.is in my head today. What on earth is going on with the

:57:38. > :57:42.weather? One day it is warm, another day it is cold!

:57:43. > :57:48.Low pressure and high pressure, and what is in between is causing us

:57:49. > :57:54.problems. We do have a variety of weather. Today is brighter than

:57:55. > :58:00.yesterday. For most of us. There is a weather front across the central

:58:01. > :58:07.swathe of the UK, thick cloud and patchy rain and hill fog. Clear

:58:08. > :58:11.skies to the south and north. The weather front will be moving north

:58:12. > :58:15.as we go through because of the day, getting up towards central Scotland,

:58:16. > :58:19.taking its patchy rain with it. This morning we still have the patchy

:58:20. > :58:22.rain across northern England, Northern Ireland and pushing north

:58:23. > :58:27.towards the central lowlands. To the north of that, sunshine. To the

:58:28. > :58:30.south, sunshine. The cloud breaking up across South Wales, and the

:58:31. > :58:36.patchy rain moves away from North Wales. It will still be across the

:58:37. > :58:44.North of England for the afternoon. You can see the cloud we are looking

:58:45. > :58:50.at. We have more clout at times. For southern areas, around the London

:58:51. > :58:54.area, we could hit 20 or 21. That could spark off some showers which

:58:55. > :58:58.could be heavy and thundery. In between in the south, there will be

:58:59. > :59:02.sunshine. Sunshine coming out, breaking through the cloud across

:59:03. > :59:06.South Wales, but fairly cloudy across North Wales. For Northern

:59:07. > :59:12.Ireland, still under the influence of the week weather front. The rain

:59:13. > :59:16.extending north across Scotland. Across the Highlands and the

:59:17. > :59:20.Grampians, we are looking at sunshine. The Northwest is favoured

:59:21. > :59:26.best. The next couple of days is going to be July for the Chelsea

:59:27. > :59:30.Flower Show, mostly. Talking tomorrow, you can see what is

:59:31. > :59:35.happening. Through tonight, we have this cloud with this. It will be

:59:36. > :59:39.with us tomorrow as well. Bringing showers from the south. Some of

:59:40. > :59:50.those even overnight could be heavy and thundery. It is not as cold to

:59:51. > :59:53.start today -- vide. We have this cloud across northern England,

:59:54. > :59:58.heading towards East Anglia, but it will break up at times and we will

:59:59. > :59:59.see some sunshine. A brighter day across Northern Ireland and northern

:12:15. > :12:17.As you know Victoria has been keeping a series of video diaries

:12:18. > :12:20.for this programme to try and demistify some of the treatment

:12:21. > :12:29.In September she had a mastectomy, in November she began chemotherapy

:12:30. > :12:37.and over the last six weeks she's been having daily radiotherapy

:12:38. > :12:40.sessions at St Luke's Cancer Centre at the Royal Surrey

:12:41. > :13:02.They are so inspiring and so caring and I

:13:03. > :13:11.When I woke up from the anaesthetic, I did cry.

:13:12. > :13:24.The malignant tumour in my right breast has gone.

:13:25. > :13:27.Today I'm having my first session of chemotherapy which is part

:13:28. > :13:35.The chemotherapy drugs are being given to me as a sort

:13:36. > :13:39.of insurance policy, that's how it has been described

:13:40. > :13:42.to me, in case there any microscopic traces of cancer elsewhere in body.

:13:43. > :13:45.The chemotherapy drugs will kill it, as well as the good cells, but that

:13:46. > :14:00.Sex days since I had the first session, and the way it has drained

:14:01. > :14:05.my body has made my feel a bit low. You can feel alert and this wave of

:14:06. > :14:14.tiredness hits you and you have to go to bed, and that I have to say

:14:15. > :14:20.that has made my feel sad. It is now six day since the second

:14:21. > :14:25.chemotherapy session and like the first one, I am at the stage where I

:14:26. > :14:31.am feeling a little disspirited, and one of the things that I am finding

:14:32. > :14:38.difficult to come to terms with, is losing my hair. I would say I have

:14:39. > :15:10.lost about 30-50% of my hair. I feel, I think I might be slightly

:15:11. > :15:11.hysterical. Happy hysterical you know, because it is coming to an

:15:12. > :15:50.end. Happy end of treatment! No more

:15:51. > :15:58.chemotherapy! My gosh, thank you! Look at those!

:15:59. > :16:05.It is Wednesday 13th April, I have just got back from my first session

:16:06. > :16:09.of radiotherapy. The radiotherapy appointment was fine, it lasted ten

:16:10. > :16:14.minutes, you like on your bed, you take the top of off your clothing

:16:15. > :16:17.off, there is a large disk which angles and the radiation beams come

:16:18. > :16:26.from there and target the right hand side.

:16:27. > :16:28.Very unusually, I'm having a real wobble today.

:16:29. > :16:31.I don't know why but I'm just thinking about, and I am sure this

:16:32. > :16:34.is completely normal and anybody who has ever had a cancer diagnosis

:16:35. > :16:37.will think this, I am thinking about what if this cancer comes back.

:16:38. > :16:40.Obviously I never want that to happen.

:16:41. > :16:44.I never want to go through chemotherapy again ever.

:16:45. > :16:59.It is Wednesday 25th May and I'm done.

:17:00. > :17:02.That was my last radiotherapy session.

:17:03. > :17:10.30 sessions, five days a week for the last six weeks,

:17:11. > :17:29.And hopefully that is it for cancer treatment forever,

:17:30. > :17:47.Your tweets and e-mails keep coming in, a whole load of them. Sarah

:17:48. > :17:52.says, I am going through the start of the breast Jodie with my mum

:17:53. > :17:59.thank you for sharing your story. A tweet, well done, you should be very

:18:00. > :18:04.proud. We will watch you on the EU tonight. Wishing you good luck for

:18:05. > :18:10.the future. Rosie says, one of the best series I have ever watched, it

:18:11. > :18:16.is remarkably honest and brave. One here, Victoria, I cried watching it

:18:17. > :18:20.today, you are so brave. My daughter went through the same two months

:18:21. > :18:24.after having a baby, she was so weak. She came to live with us for

:18:25. > :18:30.months, which was terrible for her mum, but now all is still fine ten

:18:31. > :18:32.years on. You are amazing to record that when you must have been tired

:18:33. > :18:34.and afraid, well done. And you can watch Victoria's TV

:18:35. > :18:37.EU referendum debate Plus you can find all her video

:18:38. > :18:47.diaries on our programme page - bbc.co.uk/victoria or on BBC

:18:48. > :18:53.News' YouTube page. The cost of private ambulances

:18:54. > :18:58.responding to emergencies in England We ask, why is this costing

:18:59. > :19:06.the NHS so much money? Bullying, bereavement,

:19:07. > :19:10.exam pressure and physical health problems are some of the main

:19:11. > :19:14.factors leading to young That's according to the biggest

:19:15. > :19:18.study of suicide among And it's a problem

:19:19. > :19:21.that is increasing. Experts say that talking openly

:19:22. > :19:25.about suicidal thoughts, when appropriate, can reduce

:19:26. > :19:30.the number of deaths. The study by the University

:19:31. > :19:32.of Manchester's National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide

:19:33. > :19:36.and Homicide by People with Mental Illness is the first

:19:37. > :19:40.time experts have studied the contributory

:19:41. > :19:43.factors on this scale. More than one in three - or 36% -

:19:44. > :19:50.had a physical health condition 29% were facing exams or exam

:19:51. > :19:59.results, four died on an exam 22% had been bullied,

:20:00. > :20:10.mostly face to face. And nearly a quarter - or 23% -

:20:11. > :20:14.had used the internet in relation to suicide -

:20:15. > :20:18.including searching for methods Well, Eleni Delacour nearly became

:20:19. > :20:27.one of those statistics. She has tried to take her own life

:20:28. > :20:31.on 14 occasions and tells us what led her to feel

:20:32. > :20:37.there was nowhere to turn. When enough people tell

:20:38. > :20:39.you something about yourself that is bad, you start

:20:40. > :20:43.to think it too. It is a case of you get told

:20:44. > :20:47.you are worthless to the point that you think you are worthless and then

:20:48. > :20:51.you don't want to feel it any more. Things at home were stressful

:20:52. > :20:54.and at school were stressful. I got bullied since I was

:20:55. > :21:05.as young as I can remember I was so emotional and in such

:21:06. > :21:10.distress I didn't think about the consequences

:21:11. > :21:12.for anyone else. It's afterwards that

:21:13. > :21:15.you start to think about it None of us actually know

:21:16. > :21:20.that we want death because we don't So it is more a case

:21:21. > :21:24.of we would rather go to something we don't know

:21:25. > :21:28.than what we already have. It's not really wanting to die, it's

:21:29. > :21:35.more getting out of where you are. Tony Harrison's daughter Vicky

:21:36. > :21:39.killed herself in 2010. So is Ged Flynn, who is

:21:40. > :22:00.the Chief Executive of Papyrus, I hesitate to ask, but did you know

:22:01. > :22:10.why your daughter killed herself? No. It is such a complex thing.

:22:11. > :22:17.There are so many reasons. There was not just one, there were lots of

:22:18. > :22:25.things that were building up. You cannot put your finger on it. And

:22:26. > :22:31.give a specific answer. It is hard to answer, but did you sense any

:22:32. > :22:35.warning signs in the weeks and months fed that this could happen?

:22:36. > :22:44.Was there anything that gave you an inkling? Not at all. There were one

:22:45. > :22:50.or two things, but the things that worry anybody. Such minor things. We

:22:51. > :23:02.did not have a clue that this was coming. We would have stood guard 24

:23:03. > :23:11.hours a day. But no, we had no idea that this was coming. I suppose the

:23:12. > :23:18.issue is this, is this becoming more of an issue? I was thinking in an

:23:19. > :23:23.age when we are more open, we talk more, maybe suicide amongst

:23:24. > :23:29.teenagers may be decreasing, but that is not the case? I was saddened

:23:30. > :23:35.to hear about Victoria's story with cancer, and my best wishes go to her

:23:36. > :23:38.for her recovery, but it is interesting, 30 years ago that peace

:23:39. > :23:43.would not have run on the BBC, we were frightened of talking about it,

:23:44. > :23:48.and we are still frightened about talking about suicide, especially

:23:49. > :23:52.about young people. You said experts say we should talk about suicide

:23:53. > :23:56.when appropriate. The only time when it is not appropriate when we talk

:23:57. > :24:01.about method, which is unhelpful and dangerous and can be intrusive. But

:24:02. > :24:06.it is always appropriate otherwise to talk openly and sensitively about

:24:07. > :24:11.it. Our common narrative in this country to help people is, if you

:24:12. > :24:17.are worried and you need help, phone us, talk to us, get help. That is on

:24:18. > :24:23.helpful in that it adds another responsibility to the person who is

:24:24. > :24:28.in crisis. We should change our messages increasingly to say, if you

:24:29. > :24:35.think that somebody is distressed, have a conversation with them, and

:24:36. > :24:40.then ask them directly, have you had thoughts of suicide? If so, they

:24:41. > :24:46.will say yes, if not, at least you have created a safe conversation. We

:24:47. > :24:54.know we are in the new era of social media and teenagers spend ages in

:24:55. > :25:00.their bedroom on social media. Is that a factor in terms of bullying

:25:01. > :25:03.and that sort of thing? It may well be, but what it does for all of us,

:25:04. > :25:10.not only for young people, it adds an extra magnifying glass to the

:25:11. > :25:16.rest of life. The sense that young people call our helpline service, a

:25:17. > :25:21.professionally staffed helpline, open from 10am until 10pm, we get

:25:22. > :25:26.parents and children at risk of suicide calling us and saying that

:25:27. > :25:31.everybody seems to be happy, people say their life is wonderful, but

:25:32. > :25:35.everybody's life is as mundane as everybody else's, but social media

:25:36. > :25:40.magnifies the good and say that everybody else is enjoying life, and

:25:41. > :25:48.that is not the case. We hear phrases very frequently as a

:25:49. > :25:53.national charity, story after story, where children as young as eight or

:25:54. > :25:58.nine text and e-mail us, confidentiality prevails, but we

:25:59. > :26:02.will intervene. They say that people at school say they are better off

:26:03. > :26:07.dead, I am a burden, I would be better off not PR. We have to coax

:26:08. > :26:12.them and work with their uncertainty about how to live to help them to

:26:13. > :26:17.know that death is permanent, but live, however fragile, there is

:26:18. > :26:23.always hope towards a better future for them. Is there anything that you

:26:24. > :26:30.think could be done to try and make sure this does not happen?

:26:31. > :26:34.Absolutely. We have got to get rid of the stigma that surrounds

:26:35. > :26:40.suicide. Get rid of that, people will start talking and feel

:26:41. > :26:43.comfortable about talking. That is what is stopping people talking, the

:26:44. > :26:48.stigma surrounding it. That is not helpful. Once people start talking

:26:49. > :26:58.about it and feel comfortable about it, life will be saved. That is it.

:26:59. > :27:00.Start talking. Would get rid of the stigma, that is so important. It is

:27:01. > :27:14.such a barrier. Much appreciated. The NHS in England is spending three

:27:15. > :27:16.times more on private and... Responding to emergency calls than

:27:17. > :27:20.four years ago, according to research done on the BBC.

:27:21. > :27:23.According to research done by the BBC, that came to ?68 million

:27:24. > :27:27.The College of Paramedics says this is down to staff shortages

:27:28. > :27:29.and a significant rise in emergency calls.

:27:30. > :27:32.The ambulance service received an increase in call numbers of 4.5%,

:27:33. > :27:36.and at least two ambulance trusts have started to recruit abroad

:27:37. > :27:41.Let's talk now to Noel Plumridge, who is a former

:27:42. > :27:47.We also have Alan Howson in Weston-Super-Mare.

:27:48. > :27:50.He's from the Independent Ambulance Association, which represents

:27:51. > :27:55.And Jon Fox, a paramedic for more than 35 years,

:27:56. > :28:11.Why do NHS trusts struggle to keep people like you?

:28:12. > :28:18.Why is the NHS using private ambulances in the first place? There

:28:19. > :28:23.is a national recruitment and retention crisis in the service. We

:28:24. > :28:28.lost 1000 paramedics from our profession last year. As a result,

:28:29. > :28:31.it is not surprising we have seen a threefold increase in the provision

:28:32. > :28:39.of private and..., because we have not got the front line staff to

:28:40. > :28:47.manage the demand. I presume your view would be, what is wrong with

:28:48. > :28:52.it? What the Private ambulances offer is increased capacity at

:28:53. > :28:59.moments of demand. In context, the amount of work provided by the

:29:00. > :29:03.independent companies is not huge. Nigel, you had to make the sums add

:29:04. > :29:12.up. The obvious issue is it is costing a bomb. It is more expensive

:29:13. > :29:16.to use Private ambulances than employ NHS staff. It is one thing to

:29:17. > :29:19.have spikes in demand, but this has been going on for some time, it is

:29:20. > :29:25.entirely predictable, and we are watching the NHS lose staff. We need

:29:26. > :29:29.to ask why that is happening. One thing that surprises me is that

:29:30. > :29:37.people, it seems, are now calling out ambulances for a broken toenail.

:29:38. > :29:42.Not quite that, but it is getting out of hand, the demand on the

:29:43. > :29:46.service. The demand is rising steadily, but this is an

:29:47. > :29:53.international phenomenon. We need to look at why that is happening. It

:29:54. > :29:55.seems to be a combination of an ageing population, we are all

:29:56. > :30:07.getting older, not necessarily living better, and combined with

:30:08. > :30:10.that expectations seem to be rising. We are living longer, we think that

:30:11. > :30:16.is a good thing, but it puts demand on the service more broadly. Tell me

:30:17. > :30:18.about your experiences on the front line, did you find that people were

:30:19. > :30:30.calling you out for trivial things? Yes there was a change and we used

:30:31. > :30:35.to get people, we have done until recently where they have called us

:30:36. > :30:41.out because as they couldn't distinguish between an emergency and

:30:42. > :30:46.inconvenience, now of course we see the consequences of that because the

:30:47. > :30:51.demand has increased. Relentless focus on performance and

:30:52. > :30:57.we end up with the problems we had significant delay, where demand

:30:58. > :31:01.outstripped supply and ambulance staff become more demoralised. Until

:31:02. > :31:06.we get the balance between the user and the front line medic so we can

:31:07. > :31:10.provide a safe service we will continue to have problem, we will

:31:11. > :31:13.see a haemorrhage away of staff, precious resources that have cost a

:31:14. > :31:16.lot of money to train and we are ending up having to recruit from

:31:17. > :31:21.places like Australia and eastern Europe. Very interesting, guy, thank

:31:22. > :31:31.you very much indeed. Really do appreciate it.

:31:32. > :31:37.We will debate whether it is good or bad for the country, net migration

:31:38. > :31:42.and top Facebook executive and mum of four will explain why she is

:31:43. > :31:56.determined to help more women set up businesses.

:31:57. > :31:58.Net migration to Britain has increased to the second

:31:59. > :32:00.highest level on record, official figures have revealed.

:32:01. > :32:02.The figure - the difference between the number of people

:32:03. > :32:04.arriving and leaving - was estimated at 333,000

:32:05. > :32:08.This was 10,000 higher than the level recorded in the year

:32:09. > :32:10.to September, which the Office for National Statistics

:32:11. > :32:28.Our Home Affairs correspondent said some will see it as important.

:32:54. > :32:55.Here's what the former Liberal Democrat pensions minister

:32:56. > :33:13.One is the EU state aid rules that you can't favour one company

:33:14. > :33:15.in a competitive market, so there might be challenges there,

:33:16. > :33:18.and the other is writing the law of the land,

:33:19. > :33:20.what they will do is say you have to go to court,

:33:21. > :33:23.it has to be an emergency, but the lawyers of the other firms

:33:24. > :33:27.who have big holes in their pension fund will read the law carefully

:33:28. > :33:31.While everyone is focussed on steel, it could be energy, it could be

:33:32. > :33:34.automotives, all sorts of sectors, once you have established that

:33:35. > :33:36.precedent, it isn't the taxpayer, it is other pension

:39:04. > :39:05.and Conservative MP Damian Green - he supports Britain staying

:39:06. > :39:16.in the EU. I imagine these figures are like the

:39:17. > :39:19.hole in the head for you in the middle of this EU referendum

:39:20. > :39:24.campaign? The figures have been high for a long time, so they don't come

:39:25. > :39:29.as a surprise, and I think you immediate to put them in

:39:30. > :39:33.perspective. Less than half of this large number for net migration comes

:39:34. > :39:37.from the European Union, but even more importantly, than that, I think

:39:38. > :39:41.people need to strike an ambulance, of course people have concerns about

:39:42. > :39:46.immigration, but, the worse way to try and reduce immigration numbers

:39:47. > :39:50.is to say we will target people who by and large come here to work, come

:39:51. > :39:54.here to contribute, add something to our society, pay tax, help fund

:39:55. > :39:58.public service, those are people we want to stop coming, as I understand

:39:59. > :40:04.the Leave campaign, that is what they are saying. That is the problem

:40:05. > :40:08.Peter, you moan about migrant, they build business, they create job,

:40:09. > :40:14.they pay tax, they are good news. Well thank you for that nice

:40:15. > :40:20.introduction. I am not wearing a tie today, because my garish go get out

:40:21. > :40:26.of the EU tie, the BBC couldn't deal with. Probably another bit of BBC

:40:27. > :40:31.bias staying in the EU. On the migration figure, I think Damian is

:40:32. > :40:34.wrong, more than half of this net migration is from the EU. What

:40:35. > :40:39.people tell me on the doorstep is they want a fairer system. They want

:40:40. > :40:42.everyone treated fairly. I have a large Asian population in my

:40:43. > :40:48.constituency, to get their relatives into the country they have to go

:40:49. > :40:51.through the most enormous hoop, they have been there for years, yet they

:40:52. > :40:57.see someone from Romania coming straight in, with no connection with

:40:58. > :41:01.the country. It is a complete unfair system, it December criminates

:41:02. > :41:05.against people from outside the EU, particularly those people in the

:41:06. > :41:08.subcontinent and as a Conservative and Damian supported this manifesto

:41:09. > :41:12.pledge, for the last six years we have said we will get the net

:41:13. > :41:18.migration down to the tens of thousands. We cannot fulfil that

:41:19. > :41:22.promise, if we remain in the EU. We have to come out of the EU and meet

:41:23. > :41:26.target or abandon the immigration pledge. That is true, the figures

:41:27. > :41:33.have kept going up and up there is no real sign of them coming down. He

:41:34. > :41:35.is wrong, we wouldn't be meeting the tens of thousands aspiration, even

:41:36. > :41:40.with immigration from the rest of the world. As I understand what he

:41:41. > :41:43.just said, which I am not sure that the Leave campaign's official

:41:44. > :41:46.programme, he wants to replace the European immigrants with immigrants

:41:47. > :41:52.from other parts of the world. In which case the effect on the numbers

:41:53. > :41:55.would be negligible, so that is a completely incoherent policy. Where

:41:56. > :41:59.we do need to make the difference is to say who do we want in this

:42:00. > :42:03.country? Who is benefitting us? Those are as I say people who come

:42:04. > :42:11.here to work, particular skills we need, we have got more than 50,000

:42:12. > :42:17.EU citizens working in our NHS. Let me interrupt you if I may. The issue

:42:18. > :42:22.is numbers, season it. Bluntly there are many parts of Britain when there

:42:23. > :42:25.is colossal strain on public service, people trying to get house,

:42:26. > :42:28.get kids into schools. You have to be able to turn round the numbers

:42:29. > :42:33.and at the moment, there doesn't seem to be any strategy on your side

:42:34. > :42:38.as to how you will do that? We have tried very hard, and in some cases

:42:39. > :42:42.successfully to reduce the numbers of people who are not going to

:42:43. > :42:47.contribute very much to our society, probably the most effective move we

:42:48. > :42:51.took was to close down more than 800 bogus colleges who claim to be

:42:52. > :42:55.bringing in students, they were bringing in people to do low skilled

:42:56. > :43:00.work. That was a scam. We have got rid of it. There are more scams out

:43:01. > :43:05.there and more work to do, for the immigration department. But what we,

:43:06. > :43:11.the specific act of pulling out of the EU, would mean that we were

:43:12. > :43:15.stopping, assuming that did mean we didn't have free movement from the

:43:16. > :43:19.rest of Europe. But let us assume that, which would be economically

:43:20. > :43:25.the most disastrous decision we could take, if we did that, we would

:43:26. > :43:31.be precisely denying ourselves, the imgrans that come here, work --

:43:32. > :43:35.immigrants that. Co-here. We pull out of the EU, what then is an

:43:36. > :43:41.acceptable level of net migration into the UK for you? How I would

:43:42. > :43:44.have a points system is we take in people we want from where ever they

:43:45. > :43:49.are in the world and the Government of the day... Let us talk numbers,

:43:50. > :43:54.what for you would be an acceptable number? If you stay in the EU you

:43:55. > :43:58.van open door policy to millions of people, and that will increase by

:43:59. > :44:01.what, another 75 million when Turkey comes in, it is uncontrolled

:44:02. > :44:06.immigration, if you want uncontrolled immigration, you have

:44:07. > :44:08.to vote to stay in, if you want to have a fair immigration system,

:44:09. > :44:14.based on who we need in this country, you need to vote to come

:44:15. > :44:19.out of EU. OK, thank you very much for your time. Much appreciated.

:44:20. > :44:21.The UK's economy could be missing out on up to ?10 billion

:44:22. > :44:24.because we're not dealing with the problems women are having

:44:25. > :44:27.when it comes to setting up their own businesses.

:44:28. > :44:30.Sounds like a lot, but the figure's come from Facebook, who've

:44:31. > :44:33.calculated that if just a fifth of women who want to start their own

:44:34. > :44:36.business get out there and do it, then by 2020 we could have 340,000

:44:37. > :44:38.new businesses and 425,000 additional jobs.

:44:39. > :44:40.We're talking small businesses here, the sort that rely on social media

:44:41. > :44:47.The study, commissioned by Facebook, claims that of 5.4 million small

:44:48. > :44:50.businesses in Britain, only one fifth of them are currently

:44:51. > :44:54.So what are the barriers stopping aspiring female entrepreneurs?

:44:55. > :44:56.Well, lack of self-belief is apparently a factor,

:44:57. > :45:00.and a lack of financial security was seen to be another.

:45:01. > :45:05.Surprisingly, perhaps, nearly three quarters of women

:45:06. > :45:08.surveyed couldn't name a female role model that runs the same sort

:45:09. > :45:14.She's Facebook's vice president in Europe,

:45:15. > :45:23.She took the plunge and opened a nail bar in East London.

:45:24. > :45:28.Both of them say that social media was vital

:45:29. > :45:42.Thanks very much for coming in, much appreciated. The study you have

:45:43. > :45:46.done, I mean, it sounds extraordinary, the sort of numbers

:45:47. > :45:51.you are talking about, ?10 billion. George Osborne would bite your hand

:45:52. > :45:56.off if you could do that, is that really possible? Well, absolutely.

:45:57. > :45:59.What we saw, small business is the lifeblood of this country. Most

:46:00. > :46:03.people know someone or have bought something from a small business, and

:46:04. > :46:12.yet not very many of those businesses are set up by women, just

:46:13. > :46:15.one fifth. So we did some work and some research, and we found out,

:46:16. > :46:17.actually, that one in ten women, millions of women in the UK are

:46:18. > :46:23.thinking about setting up a new business, but actually they are a

:46:24. > :46:27.little fearful of doing so. What we found is the lack of confidence as

:46:28. > :46:32.the main reason for women not doing that. And I presume social media,

:46:33. > :46:36.from your point of view, is the key to getting women into the business

:46:37. > :46:40.space, because it is something you can do at home, you do not have to

:46:41. > :46:47.traipse into an office to do, you can fitted in with childcare et

:46:48. > :46:52.cetera, that is the way that social media helps. A lot of people said

:46:53. > :46:55.new media would help, but if they just had some advice as to how they

:46:56. > :47:01.could go out and do it, that would be helpful. Also, supporting and

:47:02. > :47:05.networks, as well as role models. If I knew somebody like me, people

:47:06. > :47:09.said, that I could look up to and learn from, that would be helpful.

:47:10. > :47:16.We have two success stories on that front, Sharmadean Reid is, talk me

:47:17. > :47:22.through, I mean, you run a very successful nail salon, I was looking

:47:23. > :47:26.at it on the website, works of art, extraordinary. How pivotal was

:47:27. > :47:31.social media in enabling you to set up your company? I often say I

:47:32. > :47:37.wouldn't have a business without social media, it just wouldn't

:47:38. > :47:40.exist. I went to a tech school, I have always been obsessed with the

:47:41. > :47:46.internet, real early adopter of technology, so the minute I had the

:47:47. > :47:54.idea for my business, I blocked the whole thing, from saying I will open

:47:55. > :48:00.a nail salon, then I set up a Facebook group for it, I posted all

:48:01. > :48:04.my photos, painting it, getting the keys, buying the furniture. So

:48:05. > :48:08.people were following me on a journey, and I think, for women

:48:09. > :48:13.especially, we are extremely good storytellers, and that is our brands

:48:14. > :48:17.are built, by telling stories. So once I had done all of this and I

:48:18. > :48:22.had a big following, because we were so early on, when we opened our

:48:23. > :48:26.Instagram account, we would probably the only nail salon on Instagram

:48:27. > :48:31.really early on. We acquired a very big following. What is the next

:48:32. > :48:35.stage, once you have got your idea and you start your business, I

:48:36. > :48:39.think, is optimising all the tools that you have to actually get more

:48:40. > :48:43.customers. I think that is probably the bit that women struggle with.

:48:44. > :48:49.The confidence thing is key, and I hear that a lot from guilt that I

:48:50. > :48:57.meant to work with, but if you have skills, you will have confidence. --

:48:58. > :49:01.from girls that I mentor. Looking at your hat, you would be a success

:49:02. > :49:05.selling that anywhere! But when you started your company, could you have

:49:06. > :49:10.done it without social media? I'm thinking, you know, you would sell

:49:11. > :49:13.those no bother anyway. I have the skills but not the business

:49:14. > :49:17.knowledge, and I think to show people that you have the skills,

:49:18. > :49:21.social media was brilliant for that, because I could show everyone what I

:49:22. > :49:26.was doing, on pictures, and Instagram and Facebook, and people

:49:27. > :49:31.could just see it. So they did not have to come to the showroom and try

:49:32. > :49:37.the hat on, and for me, it has basically expanded my clientele.

:49:38. > :49:44.Going back to the support, even when you start a business, you need

:49:45. > :49:48.support. The business is five years old now, you still need support, and

:49:49. > :49:53.it would be great to have access to that, and for other people in your

:49:54. > :49:58.industry, and as well as just people who are good at business. Because

:49:59. > :50:04.that is maybe what we should be learning. Sharmadean Reid damn, give

:50:05. > :50:07.me a practical example. You have a stonking number of Instagram

:50:08. > :50:14.followers, 400,000 or something crazy, so how do make money out of

:50:15. > :50:18.that? We use our Instagram account as our primary contact with our

:50:19. > :50:22.audience. I think, historically, other brands would have used TV or

:50:23. > :50:26.magazines, but we communicate with girls on Instagram, because that is

:50:27. > :50:31.where they are. We use it to promote new product, we link to our website

:50:32. > :50:35.where we will promote a particular nail polish that they can buy off

:50:36. > :50:40.our website. We use it to promote events. But it is not just about

:50:41. > :50:48.making money, like on social, I think it is like the first such

:50:49. > :50:51.point to getting them into your brand, and then once you have got

:50:52. > :50:54.them in your fold, then you can go, and we can sell you this! It is more

:50:55. > :51:00.about community building for us. This is focused on women in

:51:01. > :51:05.business, what about blokes? I mean, is it the case that men are not so

:51:06. > :51:09.receptive to working in social media, not quite so savvy in terms

:51:10. > :51:14.of using the digital opportunities? When we did the research, we spoke

:51:15. > :51:17.to men and women, and there were some similarities in terms of what

:51:18. > :51:20.people are looking for, but the confidence thing was very pertinent.

:51:21. > :51:24.Men were much more confident than women. There was an area around

:51:25. > :51:36.digital skills and training that more people want to know about, so

:51:37. > :51:38.that is why we are literally kick-starting a campaign today

:51:39. > :51:40.called She Means Business, addressing the things that the women

:51:41. > :51:47.were saying they needed. I can give you a couple of examples, in London

:51:48. > :51:49.we are helping people create shop windows and Facebook, developing

:51:50. > :51:54.mobile strategies, examples like that that we are doing. And we are

:51:55. > :51:56.also teaming up with the Federation of Small Businesses to create online

:51:57. > :52:00.learning so that hundreds of thousands of people around the

:52:01. > :52:03.country can get online, they can do it from their homes in the hours

:52:04. > :52:12.that suit them, and learn in a way that both Rosie and Sharmadean have

:52:13. > :52:17.done. Facebook makes a big deal of empowering women, I guess that is

:52:18. > :52:22.part of your corporate brand, but I imagine, for many women, they will

:52:23. > :52:27.say, this is financed and it, but I have got a kid screaming for food,

:52:28. > :52:33.this is not the real world for many women. -- this is fine and dandy.

:52:34. > :52:39.The absolute barrier to work is childcare. That is not what the

:52:40. > :52:43.survey told us. It said, give us the tools, know-how, learning and

:52:44. > :52:47.infrastructure and support, give us networks, those are the things that

:52:48. > :52:52.are presenting us. How do you manage to have take? I imagine, even if you

:52:53. > :52:56.are at home in front of your laptop or whatever it may be, you have to

:52:57. > :53:02.be thinking the whole time, OK, got to think about this, that and the

:53:03. > :53:07.other. For the next generation of mums and working mums, I am 31, and

:53:08. > :53:11.all my friends have got one or two micro children. That stereotype just

:53:12. > :53:16.does not fit. We are not incapable. I wake up before my child, I do work

:53:17. > :53:21.before he gets up, I do it after he goes to bed. When you run your own

:53:22. > :53:27.business, you are committed to working 24/7 on your business, and I

:53:28. > :53:30.think that childcare is a massive issue, and it is something that I am

:53:31. > :53:36.personally... There are things that can be changed in our childcare

:53:37. > :53:40.rules that I do in my own company, and I have a pregnant staff member

:53:41. > :53:43.right now that I am training in taking bookings online through our

:53:44. > :53:48.scheduling system, so that when she has a baby, she can continue to work

:53:49. > :53:53.on full pay at home. That is something that we can do because

:53:54. > :53:57.everything is on the cloud. The data tells us that in the last year

:53:58. > :54:01.alone, on Facebook, we have seen a 70% increase in women setting up

:54:02. > :54:12.businesses on Facebook, and it is not a surprise when you think about

:54:13. > :54:14.it, because in the UK we have 37 million people coming on Facebook

:54:15. > :54:18.every single month, 30 million a day, so if you have a problem that

:54:19. > :54:21.you want to get at there, you can use Facebook as a way of targeting

:54:22. > :54:23.them. I must ask you about the row that blew up the other day when we

:54:24. > :54:29.had that plus size model in Australia, Facebook got in real

:54:30. > :54:33.difficulties when you said, no, you cannot put that picture up. I mean,

:54:34. > :54:37.I was kind of surprised in the first place that you had rules around

:54:38. > :54:41.that, but also that somebody at Facebook decided it was not

:54:42. > :54:45.appropriate, talk us through why you made that decision and what you have

:54:46. > :54:50.done to try to make sure it doesn't happen again. I gave you an idea of

:54:51. > :54:54.the scale in the UK, but globally we have 1.65 billion people on the

:54:55. > :54:59.platform, and millions of adverts running every day, and sometimes we

:55:00. > :55:03.make a mistake, and we made a mistake. We apologise profusely

:55:04. > :55:07.about it, and the advert is up and running now again. Do you have banks

:55:08. > :55:11.of people sitting in front of screens looking at everything, or do

:55:12. > :55:17.you wait for a complaint to come in? How do you decide, that is OK, that

:55:18. > :55:22.is not OK? It is a common nation of both. It must be an issue, they must

:55:23. > :55:28.have rules, some guidance to know, look out for this or that, because,

:55:29. > :55:32.I mean, it is a quagmire. If some pictures are OK, some are not, some

:55:33. > :55:37.political statements are OK, who draws up those rules? Like any

:55:38. > :55:40.business, we have our own answered of policies in terms of making sure

:55:41. > :55:44.that the environment that people come to an Facebook is the

:55:45. > :55:48.environment they feel safe and secure in, and an environment they

:55:49. > :55:52.want to enjoy, businesses like theirs, but pictures of friends,

:55:53. > :56:04.family, entertainment, news. God bless you, we see a lot of your news

:56:05. > :56:06.through Facebook! That is what people want to see, in an

:56:07. > :56:09.environment that is safe and secure for them. Excuse me, there are a

:56:10. > :56:11.couple of political things I want to ask about. The Government has new

:56:12. > :56:15.legislation, the Investigatory Powers Bill, which is saying, we

:56:16. > :56:19.want you to hold on to date for a year so they can search it and see

:56:20. > :56:26.what is going on. Are you comfortable with doing that? And do

:56:27. > :56:31.you think that our government, governments generally, are going to

:56:32. > :56:35.far down the road of intruding on Google's privacy in the era of

:56:36. > :56:39.social media? Well, we will wait and see, because the bill is going

:56:40. > :56:42.through, and we will follow at carefully, but the most important

:56:43. > :56:47.thing today is the fact that there is millions of people at there,

:56:48. > :56:51.mums, grandmas, friends, daughters, walking around with a business plan

:56:52. > :57:03.in their head, and they just need different skills and tactics, and

:57:04. > :57:07.maybe a bit of encouragement from us to say, followed your dream, you can

:57:08. > :57:10.make it a reality, you could be on here with incredible businesses. One

:57:11. > :57:13.more thing I want to ask you. Tax - huge issue here, big companies like

:57:14. > :57:25.Facebook and Google, a lot of an happiness about the amount of taxes

:57:26. > :57:29.you are paying in the UK. -- an Facebook is a lot richer than me and

:57:30. > :57:33.doesn't pay much tax, are you going to take on all those concerned and

:57:34. > :57:38.pay more tax? So we pay all of our taxes in accordance with UK law, as

:57:39. > :57:43.you would expect us to. We made a change in April to the way in which

:57:44. > :57:46.we account for our taxes, and so our clients in the UK now, the

:57:47. > :57:56.businesses that we work with, will now be invoiced from Facebook in the

:57:57. > :57:59.UK, which will make a difference to our taxes going forward. OK, thanks

:58:00. > :58:02.very much indeed. I was going to ask you whether men are using nail bars,

:58:03. > :58:08.but we don't have time! They totally do! And she will book you in! Just

:58:09. > :58:12.to remind you, again, at eight o'clock, Victoria will be holding an

:58:13. > :58:18.EU referendum debate in Glasgow, you can watch it on BBC One, BBC News

:58:19. > :58:20.you live is coming up next. Thank you for your company today. Have an

:58:21. > :58:29.absolutely brilliant day.
