Hello, it's Tuesday, it's nine o'clock. | :00:08. | :00:08. | |
Coming up - as rents spiral in London, more | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
and more families in social housing are being forced out of the capital | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With relatives and friends often miles away, the choice | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
facing many is difficult - more room or staying nearer home | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
in cramped, difficult, and sometimes shocking conditions. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |

sick. We'll hear more from | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
the Coleman family at 9.15. Also on today's programme - | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
figures obtained by BBC News show that over the last three | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
years, police have people suspected of | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
illegally entering Britain. The statistics suggest | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
the number are on the rise. And Hollywood stars pay tribute | :01:02. | :01:14. | |

use the hashtag Victoria live and if you text, | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
you will be charged Figures obtained by BBC News reveal | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
that over the last three years police have made more than 27,000 | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
arrests of people suspected The statistics, gathered from FOI | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
requests to 39 forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
suggest the number of arrests away from ports and airports has been | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
steadily increasing. Our home affairs correspondent, | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Danny Shaw, reports. Desperate to get into Britain, | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
but caught by police. That is the fate for an increasing | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
number of migrants who have managed to slip through UK border | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
controls unnoticed. Usually hiding in the back | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
of lorries or trucks, they get out at the side of a road | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
or at a motorway service station Now BBC has discovered how many have | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
been arrested by police for entering In 2013, police made | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
more than 7700 arrests. By 2015, that had | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
increased to over 9600. In total, over the last three years, | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
there have been 27,800 arrests for illegal entry, highlighting | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
the burden placed on police. The fact they have to spend | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
their time dealing with the arrest of the illegal migrants will put | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
greater pressure on them. This is not core policing duties, | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
having to do the work The arrest figures do not | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
include people detained They are dealt with by | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
Border Force staff. Those arrested for staying longer | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
in the UK than their visa entitles them to have not | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
been counted either. The Home Office said extraordinary | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
pressures because of last year's EU migration crisis had caused | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
unprecedented challenges. It said ministers were committed | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
to finding long-term solutions to the problem of illegal migration, | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
and said there were clear signs Meanwhile, about six and a half | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
thousand migrants were rescued off The Italian coastguard says | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
it was one of their biggest operations in years, | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
involving more than 40 vessels. Another 1,100 people | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
were rescued in the The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
travels to Paris today for talks with her French counterpart | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
amid calls for British border She is expected to dismiss an idea | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
put forward by the president of the region, who said migrants | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
should be allowed to lodge UK asylum Let's get more on these talks | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
with our political correspondent Tel us exactly what is on the | :04:44. | :04:57. | |
agenda. This is Amber Rudd's first meeting with her counterpart. It is | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
a scheduled meeting, it was going ahead anyway. We understand it's | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
talk about security cooperation between our countries, but Calais is | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
likely to come up, given the talk that scum on this weekend. You | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
mentioned for example comments by the president of the Calais region | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
that there could be hotspots set up on French soil to apply for asylum | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
in Britain but without needing to get to Britain first. It's a | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
long-standing principle that asylum seekers must seek asylum in the | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
first safe country they get to, known as the Dublin agreement. That | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
would fly in the face of that. There's also been talk about changes | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
to the agreement whereby those travelling to the UK on ferries | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
through Calais essentially go through immigration controls in | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Calais before they get to Dover. Suggestions that should be changed. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
It is important to stress there are no proposals by the French | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
government to change any of that at the moment. We have been hearing | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
from different politicians, but as far as the French government is | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
concerned, no changes on the table and certainly the British government | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
would resist very strongly any changes suggested. We hear today | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
that Amber Rudd will be going to that meeting and very much making | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
that crystal clear. Thank you very much. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
And at a quarter to ten, I'll be asking a former border | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
control officer and an immigration lawyer why so many people | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
are willing to break the law to settle in Britain. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Ben Brown is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
The actor Gene Wilder, who starred as Willie Wonka | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
in the film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
His family said he'd been unwell as a result of Alzheimers. | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
He was best known as a comic actor, working with directors such | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
as Woody Allen and Mel Brooks, who said, "He blessed every film | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Police in Australia say a British man who was critically injured | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
earlier this month, after he tried to save a backpacker in a knife | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Thomas Jackson from Cheshire was injured when he went to help | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Mia Ayliffe-Chung, who was stabbed to death. | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
His family said at the time they are "immensely proud" of him. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
A 29-year-old Frenchman has been charged with her murder. | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
Let's get more from our correspondent in | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
I gather there has been a statement from Thomas Jackson's father? Yes, | :07:27. | :07:38. | |
he flew to Australia to be with his son towards the end of last week, as | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Thomas Jackson was clinging to his life in hospital in Townsville. We | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
understand from the police up there that the life-support machine was | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
turned off a few hours ago. Les Jackson released a statement to say | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
the family was bereft and that the world was a poorer place with his | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
passing. He has been hailed a hero, the police in Australia say that his | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
actions at the hostel south of Townsville almost a week ago during | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
that knife attack were truly selfless and that is the theme of | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
Les Jackson's statement. He said there was so much evil and darkness | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
in the world but there are so many more people where life and love | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
emanated from. His father said it was those files that would sustain | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
him and other family members in the coming days. Thank you. | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
Councils, particularly those in London, are choosing to tackle | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
a shortage of affordable social housing by investing | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
in accommodation in other parts of the country. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
In some cases people have been asked to relocate up to 60 miles | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
But the practice has come under scrutiny after Redbridge council | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
outbid another local authority who also wanted the accommodation | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
And we'll have a full report on this issue in the next few minutes. | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
The technology giant Apple could be forced to pay billions | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
of euros in back taxes if the European Commission rules | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
against the Irish government's tax deal with the company later today. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
When it began its investigation, the Commission accused Ireland | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
of offering Apple a so-called "sweetheart deal" in exchange | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
Both Apple and the Irish government are expected to appeal | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
Almost a third of patients in England and Wales are being given | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
the wrong initial diagnosis after a heart attack, according | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
The charity says it's a particular problem for women, | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
who are 50% more likely than men to be misdiagnosed. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
It warns more needs to be done to make people aware | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
of the different symptoms to spot a heart attack early on. | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
Conjoined twins, who were given only a slim chance | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
of survival at birth, are now preparing for their | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
Rosie and Ruby Formosa were born joined at the abdomen. | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
They shared part of their intestines and underwent an emergency operation | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital to separate them. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Since then, the identical twins have gone | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
on to lead happy and healthy lives, with the four-year-olds preparing | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30am. | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
We'll talk international football first, and after taking his time | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
over naming his captain, new England manager | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
Sam Allardyce has decided to stick with Wayne Rooney? | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
Yes, Sam Allardyce didn't make any drastic changes to the announcement | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
of his first England squad. He won't be changing the leadership roles in | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
his team either. Wayne Rooney will be staying as England's skipper | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
going into the World Cup qualifying campaign which stars in Slovakia on | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Sunday. Wayne Rooney has held the role since 2014 when he took over | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
from Steven Gerrard. He is a senior member of the squad, that is hugely | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
respected, Sam Allardyce said, he has also enjoyed the responsibility | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
as captain. Sam Allardyce saying he is the right choice for the job. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Whether Wayne Rooney will be in the team in two years remains to be | :11:26. | :11:26. | |
seen. Staying with England and it's | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
looking like Joe Hart Yes, it must be a difficult time for | :11:30. | :11:39. | |
Joe Hart, he suffered a drop in form over 2016, which has seen him become | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
the focus of attention for his club and country as well. Pep Guardiola | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
said he is free to leave the club after he brought in a new | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
goalkeeper. It is now likely Joe Hart will spend a year with an | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
Italian side which will surprise many people, they finished bottom | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
half of the table last season. The Football Association gave him | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
permission to go to Italy yesterday to complete a medical before | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
spending this term out on loan. The same it seems will be true for Jack | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Wilshere of Arsenal, who spent most of last season injured. He was just | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
left out of the England squad by Sam Allardyce. Arsenal are happy to loan | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
him out to get first-team football, and they are happy for him to get | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
what they call a suitable club to get gain time. It looks like a | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
couple of England's stars will be leaving the Premier League for this | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
season. Away from the football | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
and Andy Murray's US Open campaign gets under way in New York tonight - | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
but there has already been British Yes, fantastic success for the | :12:50. | :13:00. | |
21-year-old Briton, Kyle Edmund in imperious form and total control. He | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
powered to the best victory of his career, beating the 13th seed of | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
France, Richard Gasket, in straight sets, and was rarely troubled in the | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
first round. He has moved on to face an American wild card next, so | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
fingers crossed for Kyle Edmund. You can contact is the number 13 seed in | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
the women's singles -- Johanna Konta. She is through to the second | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
round at Flushing Meadows after a straight sets win. She will move on | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
and be hoping to go one better than she did in Rio. Andy Murray will be | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
playing overnight and hoping to reach the final of the US open. Lots | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
to look forward to in New York. And a big day in golf? Yes, Darren | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
Clarke has a big decision to make over his wild card picks. Will he go | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
with Lee Westwood? Martin Kaymer? Or will he give the new blood a chance? | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
Thomas Peters will be facing a nervy wait to see if he is named. The | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
Ryder Cup will be taking place in Minnesota. The American fans can be | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
hard to handle there and there are five debutantes who have already | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
qualified automatically, Darren Clarke is unlikely to add more | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
experience. Over the last few months | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
on the programme we have been highlighting the difficulties people | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
are facing getting social housing and the rising costs of rents, | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
particularly in London. As the costs continue to spiral one | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
borough in the capital, Redbridge, is tackling the shortage | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
of affordable accommodation by moving families to cheaper | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
areas of the country. Families are now facing the choice | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
of either hostel or cramped flats or more room in other counties miles | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
from family and friends. When this baby's awake, she wakes | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
all the other ones. Everybody | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
understands. They are on the cooker | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
and underneath the cooker, the cockroaches | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
have come out. We have seen them | :15:30. | :15:30. | |
running up the wall. In the morning we find there's mouse | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
poo, although it has been cleared, there is mouse | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
poo all over the table. In fact, the prison would | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
probably have more space. And the way that it works | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
is really difficult. It is basically we are | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
on top of each other. I had to move in with my parents | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
again when I fell pregnant, because even though | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
I was work a 40-hour week and my partner worked as well, | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
we still couldn't afford the rent and baby at the same | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
time, not even close. A family of seven | :16:08. | :16:19. | |
living in one room. This is emergency accommodation paid | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
for by It costs the council ?350 a week | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
for the Colemans to stay Not everybody can be a high-flyer | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
and earn ?120,000 a year. There is going to be some | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
people on lower incomes. We are on a lower income, | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
because we went for We tried to run or own business to | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
get ourselves out of poverty. Then the Government | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
changed the rules on the | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
benefits and what happened benefit-dependent, they stopped | :16:52. | :16:52. | |
coming and then we got into trouble. How did you end up | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
in this circumstances? Basically, we went to the council | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
and asked for help and they said we had made ourselves intentionally | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
homeless and we should should afford to stay, even though we couldn't | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
afford to stay there. And then basically we went | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
to Social Services, which gave them I have to use the water | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
to wash this, But living here for the last four | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
months has been a struggle. I have no self-respect when it | :17:25. | :17:34. | |
comes to being in here. I would never, I haven't even | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
told my parents about But you can't afford to live | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
in London, that is why you have ended up in benefits and in | :17:40. | :18:01. | |
this hostel? We are on work tax credits | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
and child benefit. Because, yeah, the business | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
wasn't doing so well, because our own customers | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
can't afford it. If the customers can't afford | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
it, then we struggle. But it's not just families who can't | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
afford the rents in the capital. Local authorities in | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
London can't either. That is why Redbridge Council | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
is moving people out of It was a living room-cum-dining room | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
which is not too bad. It's got | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
a really nice kitchen, I must say. The only issue is the homes aren't | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
in the capital, they're 60 miles My family can't get to me, | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
because they don't drive or For them it is going to be hard | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
for them to get to me. The cost of trying to get backwards | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
and forward is going to be mental and the fact that | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
I haven't got a job, because I have had to give it up | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
to come here also means now that I'm going to be | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
even more out-of-pocket. You're working in London, | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
but most people think it is people on housing benefit are just | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
those out of work, but that is not Yes, they put us in a one-bedroomed | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
little place between all four of us for over a year, | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
and the rent is like 650, 700 quid, That we was getting | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
help with the housing. But to do it on my own | :19:33. | :19:43. | |
would have been no way. The estate is at the former barracks | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
in Canterbury, the local council has 2,500 on its housing | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
waiting list, so wanted the homes. But the London Borough | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
of Redbridge outbid them. That prompted James McCrossland, | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
who says he has been priced out of the local area, | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
to set up a petition. I know obviously every Borough | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
in London have all got people on their housing lists and they're | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
all struggling to house people that And the petition was there to set up | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
and say it wasn't just a local thing, yes, this was about | :20:15. | :20:29. | |
the barracks in Canterbury and Redbridge have succeeded | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
in buying the lease But then that's preventing 2,500 | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
people moving into the 140 something Despite the opposition, housing | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
people in Canterbury makes sense for the Borough of Redbridge, | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
because it is cheaper than temporary accommodation in London | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
and that's unlikely to change. There is a high likelihood | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
that there will be more what we call customer migration, | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
so housing benefit customers will move to cheaper areas, | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
purely because of the nature of the rental market - | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
rents keep going up, local housing rates are remaining frozen so, | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
the gap's getting bigger. The Borough of Redbridge | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
said there is a chronic shortage of affordable | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
housing and it's become increasingly difficult to secure | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
enough local supply. But for Gail, who has | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
MS, and her son, the decision to move people out of area | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
has benefitted them. I am determined to think | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
of me and my child and determined to say yes, | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
while we are still here. Now you have a house compared with | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
a room? Oh, it's great, | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
we came out of a B It was two single beds, | :21:48. | :22:16. | |
a little row in between like a shelf, where we had | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
the TV and that was it. No kitchen, there was communal, | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
there was also communal bathroom, so we didn't have our own en suites | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
or anything like that. Acquiring 147 homes in Canterbury | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
won't solve Redbridge's social This family won't be | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
moved to Kent, so the pressures of living | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
in one room continue. We have been here for so long now | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
we see the signs of when we need space and I will go for a walk, | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
or we will watch television or But there no privacy | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
there is nowhere around. Some people might say you got | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
yourself into this situation, why should | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
the state help you? I did get myself into | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
the situation somewhat, You don't deliberately | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
throw your business You can hear the mice crawling | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
around and you wonder, is I'm wondering if the cockroaches | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
are crawling around in her toys and crawling | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
on her when she's sleeping and I'm wondering if that is | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
how she got sick. But the Borough of Redbridge said | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
to us that inspectors have carried out full | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
unannounced inspections at the hostel which found no | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
problems which would present an imminent risk | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
to It's like an epidemic and it's | :23:54. | :23:54. | |
people from all backgrounds, it is not just the lower end, | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
everyone's getting scandal and we have got neighbours | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
that work long hours. We have got immigrants, | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
we have got every So you can't say it is a particular | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
type of person, or a particular class of person, | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
because everybody seems to be caught It's terrible, because | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
it's embarrassing. And in the next hour we'll hear | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
live from Mark Coleman, who appeared in that film - | :24:28. | :24:40. | |
and a woman who refused to leave Lots of you getting in touch all | :24:41. | :24:52. | |
ready. Stuart has said, rents rising everywhere, not just London. It is a | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
failure of successive governments to tackle the housing problem. An | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
anonymous text, we were forced out of London in 1965 to find a home in | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Northampton, not just due to high rents but there was nowhere to live. | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
Jay has e-mailed, it is now a fact that London is being deliberately | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
turned into a ghetto for the super-rich, social cleansing to | :25:15. | :25:15. | |
allow gentrification is rife and appears be condoned by authorities. | :25:16. | :25:35. | |
Another viewer says the selling of council estates in London to private | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
developers supposedly to create more housing is farcical, gentrification | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
should be called exactly what it is, social cleansing. Another text says | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
we all face pest problems, it is responsibility to make sure that | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
known risks are eliminated. Do keep getting in touch, we will talk more | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
about that at 10:10am. The Paralympic started Rio this | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
week, but many tickets are not sold. Some medal winning Paralympians will | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
tell us how they plan to fill the empty seats. We will talk to you | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
shortly. Figures obtained by the BBC show | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
that police have arrested more than 27,000 people suspected of illegally | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
entering Britain over the past three years. We talked to a former border | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
control officer. Figures obtained by BBC News reveal | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
that over the last three years, police have arrested more | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
than 27,000 people suspected The statistics gathered | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
from responses to Freedom of Information Act requests | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
by 39 forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland suggest | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
the number of arrests away from ports and airports has been | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
steadily increasing. Meanwhile, about 6,500 | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
migrants were rescued off The Italian coastguard says | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
it was one of their biggest operations in years involving more | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
than 40 vessels. Another 11,000 people were rescued | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
in the same area on Sunday. The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
travels to Paris today for talks with her French counterpart, | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
Bernard Cazeneuve, amid calls for British border controls | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
in Calais to be reviewed. She is expected to dismiss an idea | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
put forward by the president of the region, who said migrants | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
should be allowed to lodge UK Many tributes have been paid | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
to the American actor, Gene Wilder - who starred as Willie Wonka | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
in the film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
who has died at the age of 83. He was best known as a comic actor, | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
working with directors such as Woody Allen and Mel Brooks, | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
who said, "He blessed every film Police in Australia say a British | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
man who was critically injured earlier this month after trying | :27:35. | :27:43. | |
to save a backpacker in a knife Thomas Jackson from Cheshire | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
was injured when he went to help Mia Ayliffe-Chung, | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
who was stabbed to death. His family said at the time | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
they are "immensely proud" of him. A 29-year-old Frenchman has been | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
charged with her murder. Councils, particularly those | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
in London, are choosing to tackle a shortage of affordable social | :28:04. | :28:05. | |
housing by investing in accommodation in other | :28:06. | :28:07. | |
parts of the country. In some cases people have been asked | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
to relocate up to 60 miles But the practice has come under | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
scrutiny after Redbridge council outbid another local authority | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
who also wanted the accommodation That's a summary of | :28:20. | :28:21. | |
the latest BBC News. Good morning. The main headlines | :28:22. | :28:41. | |
this morning, Sam Allardyce has made his first major decision as England | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
boss, keeping Manchester United's Wayne Rooney as captain. The | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
30-year-old took over from Steven Gerrard following the 2014 World | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
Cup. He will lead England into qualification for the next | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
tournament, starting with a qualifier in Slovakia on Sunday. | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
Joe Hart is likely to spend the season away from the Premier League. | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
The FA gave permission for the Man City goalkeeper to have a medical | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
with the Italian side to Reno. Jack Wilshere is likely to be | :29:10. | :29:23. | |
going out on loan, England say they want their midfielder to get regular | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
first-team football. He struggled to retain a starting | :29:27. | :29:29. | |
spot at the Emirates following a broken leg which meant he made only | :29:30. | :29:31. | |
three appearances last season. The first upset of the 2016 US Open was | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
caused by Kyle Edmonds of Great Britain, who walks past Richard | :29:35. | :29:36. | |
Gasquet in his first appearance at the main draw in Flushing Meadows. | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
We will be back at just after ten you. | :29:40. | :29:45. | |
The golden days of the Rio Olympics might be over, but not for long. | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
The Paralympics start in Rio next week, but so far only 12% | :29:49. | :29:51. | |
of the tickets have been sold and there were concerns | :29:52. | :29:53. | |
that the athletes would be competing in near-empty stadiums. | :29:54. | :29:55. | |
Now two British men have launched a crowdfunding campaign for people | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
to buy up the spare tickets to give them for free to local children, | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
and the International Paralympic Committee is to give its official | :30:02. | :30:03. | |
blessing to the campaign to #filltheseats, which is hoping | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
We're lucky to have four Paralympians here to discuss | :30:07. | :30:16. | |
the plans and look ahead to Rio, and the man who set up | :30:17. | :30:19. | |
Also with us is Naomi Riches, who won gold in rowing | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
Noel Thatcher is a six-time Paralympian | :30:26. | :30:27. | |
Also supporting the campaign is Paralympian Marc Powell | :30:28. | :30:38. | |
and Georgie Bullen, who competed in the 2012 Paralympics. | :30:39. | :30:43. | |
Jack, why did you decide to do this? As the news started to break about | :30:44. | :30:52. | |
the ?7 million deficit made in the funding, it seemed an outrage that | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
there would be anything less than what happened at the London Olympics | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
and Paralympic Games, they should be similar. It just felt like somebody | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
needed to do something, why not make it not trust. -- why not make it us. | :31:05. | :31:15. | |
We wanted to inspire people to exercise and compete and challenge | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
themselves, despite their issues and any problems they might have. Why | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
not get going, but the crowdfunding, and it seems to be catching people's | :31:25. | :31:30. | |
imagination. You are nodding, you see the inspirational side of people | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
watching Paralympians in action? Yes, and I am old enough to remember | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
when people did compete in empty stadiums. We didn't even have the | :31:41. | :31:46. | |
same host city, we completed in a university campus in Long Island in | :31:47. | :31:54. | |
New York. What was saddening to me, once I heard the statistics, was | :31:55. | :31:59. | |
that this was going to have a direct impact on the ability of athletes | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
and particularly athletes from third World countries, to take part in the | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
Paralympic Games, which has a value beyond its status in the global para | :32:09. | :32:17. | |
sport championship. It has a huge effect on attitudes towards | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
disability, and it is a very powerful driver for social change. | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
For athletes from those countries not to be able to take part, it's a | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
travesty. Also for the children of Rio to see para sport, it is the | :32:33. | :32:38. | |
kids who get driven and inspired by it. Just explain how the funding | :32:39. | :32:44. | |
works, Jack, because you assume it is locked down but right at this | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
last minute the lack of ticket sales is having a direct impact on the way | :32:48. | :32:53. | |
The Games will be held. That's right, there was a lot of fingers | :32:54. | :32:58. | |
being crossed behind the scenes, and while the Olympics were going on | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
there was a blind spots we were left away from. That deficit of poor | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
ticket sales meant they had to compromise the Games in a big way. | :33:07. | :33:12. | |
What we thought, if we can get some tickets for the children of Rio, we | :33:13. | :33:19. | |
can fill the stadium but also just getting the children inspired would | :33:20. | :33:25. | |
make a difference. The IPC have got on board to endorse the | :33:26. | :33:31. | |
#filltheseats campaign, and for every $30 raised that the day out | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
for a child from Rio who will be given the spectacle they deserve. | :33:38. | :33:45. | |
Marc, you were at London 2012, this feels like such a let down after the | :33:46. | :33:53. | |
great success they were. Yes, and London set the bar very high, the | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
greatest Paralympics of all. It really is disappointing. It was | :33:59. | :34:02. | |
always going to be hard to replicate what we did at London, but most | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
plans you hope would have been in place to do that but unfortunately | :34:07. | :34:11. | |
they weren't. Naomi, what do you think when you see what is going on | :34:12. | :34:17. | |
in Rio and look back to London 2012? It is disappointing but I feel | :34:18. | :34:22. | |
London 2012 set a very high standard and changed the perception of so | :34:23. | :34:27. | |
many people. They started to look at disabled athletes as athletes who | :34:28. | :34:30. | |
happen to have a disability rather than putting the disability first. | :34:31. | :34:36. | |
So this campaign, with the belief and pride behind all the athletes | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
around the world, I really feel this campaign could make such a massive | :34:41. | :34:45. | |
difference. What was at about London that achieved that, do you think? | :34:46. | :34:52. | |
I'm not entirely sure. I think it was the performances, the passion of | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
the athletes. These athletes have put their lives on hold to train for | :34:57. | :35:01. | |
that one event, but one chance to win a medal and they felt they were | :35:02. | :35:06. | |
supported all the way, right the way across the finish line. I just think | :35:07. | :35:11. | |
it was the passion. I think as well we have got to give a lot of credit | :35:12. | :35:20. | |
to Channel 4 did, they educated people in a really positive and | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
trendy way. Georgie, you were up 2012, what was it like being a part | :35:27. | :35:32. | |
of that? It was insane. I'm from a minority sport, goalball, which | :35:33. | :35:42. | |
hardly anyone has heard of. We still go to tournaments where we won't | :35:43. | :35:46. | |
even perform in front of 1000 people, and yet we came out into the | :35:47. | :35:52. | |
copper box and in every single game we had 7000 people cheering us on, | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
you walked into a wall of noise that swallowed you up. It was the first | :35:58. | :36:04. | |
time it felt like we were being taken completely seriously, and | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
supported wholeheartedly. As soon as we would score a goal or win the | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
match, the entire stadium erupted and I have never experienced | :36:15. | :36:20. | |
anything like that before. It was incredible, and you just feel that | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
looking forward to Rio, you want that for every athlete going there | :36:25. | :36:33. | |
because they have earned to it. It is part of what makes it so special, | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
the Paralympic Games, that you have the eyes of the world on new, | :36:38. | :36:43. | |
cheering you. Jack, what is happening in Rio, has that set back | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
the clock for Paralympians? Do you mean it has gone the wrong way? The | :36:49. | :36:55. | |
wrong way from that high and the sell-out stadiums in London and then | :36:56. | :37:02. | |
this? It seems that way. We are turning the tide. Now 1 million | :37:03. | :37:09. | |
tickets have been sold, we are starting to turn a corner. We are | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
only just getting the media behind us for this campaign, so we might be | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
able to get the stadium filled, make this spectacle. It feels tangible. | :37:19. | :37:29. | |
It does feel we have taken a step back from London to some extent but | :37:30. | :37:32. | |
if we can make even a small difference to that, hopefully we can | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
still get inspired. Not just hopefully the children of Rio we can | :37:38. | :37:45. | |
send there, but for the community it is amazing how inspiring people who | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
would otherwise turn their back on exercise and health, it is | :37:50. | :37:53. | |
incredible what the Paralympic Games can do for them. And not just people | :37:54. | :37:58. | |
with disabilities but anyone who is able bodied looking at what people | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
achieve coming through adversity. This was the wonderful thing about | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
London. Working for the BBC as a pundit during 2012, the real value | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
of the Games and real passion, and the credit for 2012, a huge amount | :38:12. | :38:18. | |
must rest with public for taking this on board and paying to see | :38:19. | :38:22. | |
disability sport, filling the Olympic Stadium Day after day. Going | :38:23. | :38:32. | |
home, hearing city boys suited and booted talking about it, that was a | :38:33. | :38:41. | |
social change. This is what I think we are hopefully just about to see | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
happen in Rio. We get the children in the stadium, they will go on to | :38:47. | :38:51. | |
be teachers, healthcare workers, they will go home and tell their | :38:52. | :38:55. | |
parents about what they saw, and that is where you see the | :38:56. | :38:58. | |
groundswell of change occurring. What Jack and the campaign and | :38:59. | :39:05. | |
facilitated is an amazing thing, and I think what we will find is that if | :39:06. | :39:11. | |
you come back in two or three weeks, sit and have this conversation, we | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
will be talking about how amazing the Rio Paralympic Games were, there | :39:17. | :39:18. | |
will be more positives than negatives. How is the campaign | :39:19. | :39:26. | |
going? We have two campaigns merging, I have got to mention Greg | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
Nugent, we had similar ideas at the same time, so through him we have | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
the people power our campaign was unable to generate. Now we are at | :39:38. | :39:45. | |
around $20,000. That's great. The social attitudes change, have you | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
felt it has continued post-London 2012? It was pretty evident a couple | :39:50. | :39:57. | |
of weeks ago, we attended the anniversary games, and to attend a | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
stadium and have near enough full capacity there to see Paralympic | :40:02. | :40:06. | |
sport in this country was something else. That type of thing has never | :40:07. | :40:13. | |
happened before and that shows the attitude of this country towards | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
disability that is changing massively. What has that given to | :40:18. | :40:23. | |
you personally? It is a lot of self-satisfaction but pride as well | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
because we were all part of London to help change that. The | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
Paralympics, my dad competed in the Games, which Noel has as well! | :40:32. | :40:42. | |
Sorry, had to mention that! It has been constantly building, then we | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
got to a point at London where it was huge. As a country, we have | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
really helped to change that attitude, which we should all be | :40:53. | :40:59. | |
proud of. What's legacy for you? I do quite a lot of work in schools | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
and I will say to the youngsters, when they were four years old, what | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
happens every four years, the biggest games? And they say the | :41:09. | :41:16. | |
Olympics and Paralympics! They feel it and want to be part of it. | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
Hearing people say I cannot wait for the Olympics and the Paralympics, | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
they come as a pair now. The Paralympics doesn't seem to come | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
second any more. Remembering back to the Paralympics closing ceremony, it | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
was every bit as good if not better, some thought, than the Olympics | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
2012. What's the legacy for you, Georgie? I used to spend all of my | :41:41. | :41:53. | |
time explaining what goalball was, but more and more people have | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
understood a sport that is still minority but it is insane when you | :41:59. | :42:01. | |
find someone who understands it and has seen it. It takes you back | :42:02. | :42:07. | |
because you get stuck in your own bubble and sometimes you think that | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
maybe people don't care about Paralympic sport, but when you have | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
those moments and you see the build-up for each Paralympics now, | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
it really takes you back. Since the Paralympics, I have started a | :42:23. | :42:28. | |
business using goalball as team-building, and that never would | :42:29. | :42:32. | |
have worked in the past. People wouldn't have been open or receptive | :42:33. | :42:37. | |
to it. It's amazing that people don't just hear about a Paralympian | :42:38. | :42:45. | |
and think, bless, that's an athlete and that's something to be impressed | :42:46. | :42:53. | |
by now. Being billed as superhumans, it is amazing to feel that is how | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
you can be viewed and it is completely different to pre-20 12. | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
And that is what you see with the physio work you do, Jack? | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
Absolutely, and you see it across the spectrum. I see people that are | :43:10. | :43:15. | |
struggling with back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, we see people | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
like that who feel they need to retire themselves from exercise | :43:21. | :43:28. | |
which has huge health consequences, and we want to encourage them back. | :43:29. | :43:32. | |
At the other side of the spectrum, my partner works in intensive care | :43:33. | :43:38. | |
with poorly children at hospital and she understands how inspiring it can | :43:39. | :43:48. | |
be, when there are children at the Paralympic Games who have been in | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
those dark places. To achieve what they have, it is huge across the | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
health care spectrum. It is great to have you all in, thank you and good | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
luck with the campaign. We'll speak to the fifteen year-old | :44:01. | :44:02. | |
Ukrainian teenager who has been fighting deportation since her | :44:03. | :44:08. | |
mother was murdered four years ago. The technology giant Apple could be | :44:09. | :44:23. | |
forced to pay billions of euros in back taxes | :44:24. | :44:25. | |
if the European Commission rules against the Irish government's tax | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
deal with the company later today. When it began its investigation, | :44:29. | :44:30. | |
the Commission accused Ireland of offering Apple a so-called | :44:31. | :44:32. | |
"sweetheart deal" in exchange To explain exactly what this means, | :44:33. | :44:45. | |
we have our business correspondent, Alex Baxter. Today is the | :44:46. | :44:48. | |
culmination of this three-year probe by the EU into the tax affairs of | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
Apple with the Republic of Ireland because under EU law it is illegal | :44:54. | :44:59. | |
for national tax authorities to give tax benefits to individual | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
companies. What the EU is saying happened here is that between 1991 | :45:04. | :45:10. | |
and 2007, the so-called sweetheart tax deal was brokered which allowed | :45:11. | :45:16. | |
Apple to funnel its international earnings through its company based | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
in Ireland, paying this very low level of corporation tax, allowing | :45:22. | :45:27. | |
it to very aggressively, legally, they would say, but to minimise its | :45:28. | :45:30. | |
tax bill. The EU says that Apple paid just 4% | :45:31. | :45:41. | |
corporation tax on around $200 billion of international earnings | :45:42. | :45:48. | |
over the past decade. What we might now see happening is that the EU | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
might order the Republic of Ireland to order Apple to repay it | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
potentially billions of euros and back taxes. It will be up to Apple | :45:56. | :46:00. | |
and Ireland to determine the exact amount. What is so interesting is | :46:01. | :46:05. | |
that Ireland itself has shown itself very unwilling to try to claw back | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
any back taxes from Apple. The company employs around 5500 people | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
via, it is considered a very prestigious company to have based on | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
the territory. And as a third backdrop, there is a potential for | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
this to mushroom into something much, much bigger involving the US | :46:26. | :46:28. | |
and the EU, with the US already having accused the EU in the past of | :46:29. | :46:33. | |
behaving very aggressively towards American companies in terms of the | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
levels of tax paid here, and only just last week we heard from the | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
U.S. Treasury Department, saying that the European Commission is in | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
danger of becoming, quote, a supranational tax authority | :46:47. | :46:48. | |
overwriting the tax codes of its member states. There is the | :46:49. | :46:52. | |
potential for it to mushroom into something much larger. | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
Bearing that in mind, is it likely to end at this point with Ireland or | :46:57. | :47:04. | |
drink Apple to pay this tax bill, or is there likely to be continuing tax | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
action? With regard to Apple specifically, today is the | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
culmination of a three-year investigation. We will know the | :47:11. | :47:14. | |
ruling from the EU over the course of the day, we will then hear the | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
amount that Ireland has decided to try to claw back from Apple in the | :47:20. | :47:24. | |
so-called back taxes but, no, I think the wider issue of how the US | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
perceives the EU of dealing with American companies in terms of its | :47:29. | :47:35. | |
tax affairs, I think that will run and run, because I think the US | :47:36. | :47:38. | |
position is that if anybody's going to claw back back taxes from Apple, | :47:39. | :47:43. | |
it should be America. Thank you very much. | :47:44. | :47:44. | |
We will be remembering the Willy Wonka star Gene Wilder, who has died | :47:45. | :47:56. | |
at the age of 83. Tributes have been pouring in from Hollywood stars and | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
people who worked closely with Gene Wilder over the years. Jim Carey | :48:01. | :48:08. | |
said, if there is a heaven, he has a golden ticket. We will talk to one | :48:09. | :48:17. | |
of his co-stars, and oompa-loompa from the classic film. | :48:18. | :48:19. | |
The number of people arrested for illegally entering the UK | :48:20. | :48:22. | |
Figures obtained by the BBC show that 27,000 people have been | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
arrested by police for entering the UK illegally over | :48:27. | :48:28. | |
the past three years, placing more pressure on officers. | :48:29. | :48:30. | |
So, what makes Britain so attractive to immigrants that they are willing | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
to break the law for a chance to settle here? | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
Is the problem of illegal immigration getting worse, | :48:37. | :48:37. | |
and is the system responding well enough? | :48:38. | :48:43. | |
We can talk more about those figures with our home affairs correspondent | :48:44. | :48:50. | |
Danny Shaw. Talk us through them, they focus specifically on people | :48:51. | :48:55. | |
caught as soon as they have, effectively, right? This does not | :48:56. | :48:58. | |
include people detained at ports and airports but people who have got | :48:59. | :49:02. | |
through border controls unnoticed and are then arrested by police in | :49:03. | :49:07. | |
England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We have responses from 39 of the 49 | :49:08. | :49:13. | |
Dominic Ball 25 police forces across the UK, a very good response rate. | :49:14. | :49:21. | |
-- from 39 of the 45 police forces. The figure increased in 2014, by | :49:22. | :49:28. | |
2015 was 9600, a 25% rise. We had figures for the first few months of | :49:29. | :49:33. | |
this year which show that the number of arrests is projected to increase | :49:34. | :49:36. | |
further. It shows the pressure placed on police in tackling | :49:37. | :49:42. | |
suspected illegal immigrants. We have heard a lot about problems for | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
the border force themselves, but it also places pressures on the police. | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
If this is the number of people actually being picked up, what is | :49:52. | :49:59. | |
the real picture likely to be? These cases are typically people smuggled | :50:00. | :50:03. | |
in the backs of lorries or vans, they get through border controls and | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
stop at a motorway service station or truck stop and they then get out. | :50:07. | :50:12. | |
We don't know how many get out and do not come to the attention of the | :50:13. | :50:17. | |
authorities. Calculating illegal immigration, the numbers still in | :50:18. | :50:21. | |
the country illegally, is notoriously difficult. There are | :50:22. | :50:24. | |
lots of figures about legal migration, we reported on some last | :50:25. | :50:27. | |
week, the figures for illegal migration much harder to find. Thank | :50:28. | :50:29. | |
you. Let's talk more about this. With us are Harjap Bhanggal - | :50:30. | :50:36. | |
he's an immigration lawyer who deals with illegal immigrants every day, | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
and Chris Hobbs, a former Thank you both very much for joining | :50:40. | :50:45. | |
us. Chris, first of all, what do you think about the figure? I think they | :50:46. | :50:51. | |
are for demographic are higher than we thought they would be. The police | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
do not like dealing with this, they really should not have to deal with | :50:56. | :51:02. | |
this. I think what it shows is the weakness along our borders. Of | :51:03. | :51:06. | |
course, when people come here and people enter the process, it is a | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
process that is a nightmare for the people who do get through. There are | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
all sorts of issues around that. What we basically have is a border | :51:16. | :51:20. | |
force and a Home Office that, frankly, is not fit for purpose and | :51:21. | :51:23. | |
is struggling desperately to cope with the demands placed on it by | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
cutbacks in poor management, so it is a crisis for police, very | :51:29. | :51:32. | |
difficult for them. And for the border force it is certainly a | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
nightmare and something needs to be done, and quickly. Or you say that | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
the police had to pick up the strain and they don't like dealing with it? | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
What sort of level of resources police devoting to this? It depends | :51:46. | :51:55. | |
how many jump of the lorry, if it is six, if it is 20, it will occupy | :51:56. | :51:58. | |
quite a lot of police officers for the rest of the day until someone | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
can come down from the border force or Home Office enforcement to take | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
them off the police's hands, but during that time they have to be | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
looked after, processed, fed and watered, taking police away from | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
their ordinary duties. It shows the weakness is our borders and that | :52:14. | :52:17. | |
even on the French side, where we have invested millions, things are | :52:18. | :52:20. | |
not going terribly well. Heaven help us if we lose this agreement, things | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
will become more chaotic on the UK side if we can't maintain borders in | :52:26. | :52:36. | |
France, which is quite a possibility, I think. Harjap, you | :52:37. | :52:39. | |
are an immigration lawyer, you work with illegal immigrant a lot. What | :52:40. | :52:41. | |
is your perspective? It is the tip of the iceberg, just the people that | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
the police and codes and had to detain. Lots of times, police will | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
build someone out or tell them to go to a local enforcement centre to | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
sign on, lots of times people are not picked up. We see people who | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
have been here ten or 12 days on a daily basis, never arrested or | :52:59. | :53:02. | |
fingerprinted yet they have an ID and a life peer, insurance numbers, | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
driving licences, they are in the system, they have identification. It | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
seems to be very easy to enter the UK, it seems to be very easy to | :53:13. | :53:19. | |
overstay and very easy... There are no exit controls. We know who is | :53:20. | :53:22. | |
coming in, we don't know if they have gone back. It is almost | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
unheard-of, we have no system of checking if people have gone back or | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
not, and it's somebody sponsor somebody for a visit and they do not | :53:32. | :53:40. | |
go back, the sponsor does not get penalised. This could happen on | :53:41. | :53:42. | |
multiple occasions. The system is broken, it is like having a wall | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
with a crack in it. We had to knock the wall down and build it again. We | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
always told that the system does not work, yet nothing is done. You say | :53:50. | :53:54. | |
it is the tip of the iceberg, would you hazard a guess as to figures? | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
Including people overstaying and people who should not be here, I | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
would think around 1.5 million. What is that based on? Icy about 20 | :54:05. | :54:15. | |
people a day, I have seen them the last 14 years, I have not run out of | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
people, I could see people for the next 14 years and not run out. There | :54:19. | :54:21. | |
are people living 12 in a house, 15 in a house, four or five roads just | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
full of these people. Enforcement raid every morning, come back with | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
bands of people, yet they don't seem to be able to remove them. It is not | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
catching them or knowing where they are that is the problem, it is | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
removing them. The countries they are from take ages to provide | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
documents. So presumably you see people who have been picked up and | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
there are efforts to get them out? People in detention centres, people | :54:48. | :54:56. | |
who have been told to sign on but they have not been reporting every | :54:57. | :54:59. | |
week, people who have been refused until to go back but they had not | :55:00. | :55:02. | |
been sent back. People who came on visas and have not gone back, we see | :55:03. | :55:05. | |
lots of people who came here to study but did not go back because | :55:06. | :55:08. | |
their colleges were closed for some reason, they are just in the system. | :55:09. | :55:13. | |
There are people from all over the place. Chris, when you hear the | :55:14. | :55:19. | |
scale that Harjap describes, it could be the full-time focus for the | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
police? It could be, and police work very closely with enforcement | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
officers, but it is scratching the surface. They do raids, some | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
high-profile and some just for numbers, summer to get rid of people | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
that we don't want here, criminals. Lots of hard work goes on the | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
enforcement and, but the problem is that it is the whole system, the | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
management. The management of the border force in particular is | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
dreadful. If you talk to border force officers, they recruited some | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
302-macro or three years ago, most have now left, they have tried to | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
recruit more, many border force officers want to leave and are | :56:01. | :56:07. | |
actively looking to get out simply because the system is broken, they | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
are frustrated, angry and feel very, very bitter that nobody is | :56:12. | :56:14. | |
listening, the Home Office needs to listen to people like Harjap and | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
front-line border force officers. Thank you both very much. | :56:20. | :56:25. | |
Let's bring you some of the comments coming through on the social housing | :56:26. | :56:30. | |
and the fact that people are being moved out of areas because local | :56:31. | :56:33. | |
authorities can't afford the cost of social housing there. So they are | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
spending elsewhere and getting more for their money. Mark says we need | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
investment in a nationwide social housing building programme, a living | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
wage at ?10 an hour and limited immigration. Susan says, what is | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
happening to this country? People forced to live in slum conditions | :56:50. | :56:58. | |
and social housing, it is 2016, not 1816. | :56:59. | :57:00. | |
Another tweet, if you can't afford to live in London, that the council | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
move you. I do not feel one ounce of housing for you. | :57:05. | :57:06. | |
Nearly a third of heart attack patients are being is diagnosed and | :57:07. | :57:11. | |
women are particularly at risk of having symptoms mist. We will talk | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
to two women about their experiences. If you have had | :57:16. | :57:20. | |
experience of that, get in touch using the usual channels. Now let's | :57:21. | :57:22. | |
catch up with the weather. A bank holiday for many yesterday, | :57:23. | :57:30. | |
plenty of sunshine. I guess most people wish it was a bank holiday | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
today, more fine weather to be had. Some images from yesterday, it was | :57:36. | :57:41. | |
spot the cloud in many places. That looks like the Alps, glorious. This | :57:42. | :57:49. | |
was Cumbria. From the sheep to Cornwall this morning, spot the | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
clouds, beautiful. It has been cracking here in central London. | :57:54. | :57:58. | |
Not glorious everywhere, there is some clouds, this is Saddleworth in | :57:59. | :58:05. | |
Oldham. But it should be dry and bright. We have more blue skies, | :58:06. | :58:10. | |
beautiful in Hampshire and also at the coast. This shot from Norfolk | :58:11. | :58:19. | |
proves. How long will it last? For many of us, the rest of today looks | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
OK and the rest of the week. There will be patchy rain tomorrow, but | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
for most of this week the weather is set fair. Things could change at the | :58:28. | :58:34. | |
weekend, however. Typical! Enjoy it while it lasts. | :58:35. | :58:39. | |
Beautiful looking out to sea. Plenty going on in the Atlantic. This could | :58:40. | :58:44. | |
be a complication at the weekend. This is a Hurricanes on a guest on. | :58:45. | :58:49. | |
It is in the middle of the Atlantic. There were suggestions that it could | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
interfere with our weather, but we need to keep an eye on Gaston. There | :58:54. | :59:00. | |
is potentially a tropical storm in Florida, lots of people are still on | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
holiday, so there could be heavy rain over the next few days. | :59:05. | :59:10. | |
Let's get close to the UK and enjoy the sunshine, many of us are basking | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
in another fine day. There is a weather front approaching to the | :59:16. | :59:19. | |
north-west, as we saw in north-west England and Wales from that picture | :59:20. | :59:23. | |
there is cloud. But a beautiful day for most with light winds and lots | :59:24. | :59:26. | |
and lots of sunshine. Clouding over in the far north-west, | :59:27. | :59:30. | |
wind is picking up on the Western Isles. Potentially clouding a bit in | :59:31. | :59:34. | |
Northern Ireland but plenty of sunshine in Belfast. The cloud feeds | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
in from the Irish Sea into north-west England, North and West | :59:39. | :59:46. | |
Wales. Maybe a bit more cloud spilling into Cornwall, generally a | :59:47. | :59:49. | |
beautiful day across central and eastern parts, we could get up to 27 | :59:50. | :59:54. | |
Celsius. Starting to see a change tonight, the rain gets going, it | :59:55. | :00:00. | |
could be heavy for a time, trickling across Northern Ireland into most of | :00:01. | :00:04. | |
Scotland by morning, into north-west England in north-west Wales. Staying | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
dry, it could turn misty with one or two fog patches. Temperatures of 15 | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
or 16 degrees, it will be quite a warm night. Soothing steadily across | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
the UK, it would be fizzling out. It will be different across the | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Midlands, if you spot of drizzly rain. Behind that front there will | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
be sunshine and a few showers, but it is a cold front, so blinded it | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
will feel a bit cooler, with temperatures in the high teens and | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
low 20s. We could get 24 behind it. For Thursday, a little birds in the | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
isobars, a ridge of high pressure. Many places dry and bright with | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
light winds, and approaching weather front will bring cloud and patchy | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
rain across the north-west which will steadily trickle southwards | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
into parts of England and Wales by the end of the day. Further south | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
and east, another fine day. The weather fronts trickled across the | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
country on Friday, bringing patchy rain. Some uncertainty into the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
weekend because of what is going on in the Atlantic. We will keep an eye | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
on that, you can find out more on the weather website. That's all from | :01:20. | :01:20. | |
me for now. Hello, it's 10am on | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Tuesday, August 30th. Welcome to the programme | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
if you've just joined us. As rents spiral in London, more | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
and more families in social housing are being forced out of the capital | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
to cheaper areas around the country. With relatives and friends often | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
miles away, the choice facing many is difficult - more room or staying | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
nearer home in cramped, difficult You can hear the mice crawling | :01:43. | :02:01. | |
around, and I'm wondering if there will be cockroaches crawling around | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
in her toys and crawling on her when she is sleeping and I'm wondering if | :02:06. | :02:15. | |
that's how she got sick. Also today, the Ukrainian teenager whose mother | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
was murdered is due to find out if she will be deported from Britain. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
She tells us what she fears most about returning to Ukraine. I am | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
really scared, worrying about the situation that I am going to have to | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
go back to Ukraine. It is the most scary thing that you can only think | :02:37. | :02:37. | |
about. Hollywood stars pay | :02:38. | :02:45. | |

with a summary of today's news. Figures obtained by BBC News reveal | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
that over the last three years police have made more than 27,000 | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
arrests of people suspected The statistics - gathered from FOI | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
requests to 39 forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland - | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
suggest the number of arrests away from ports and airports has been | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
steadily increasing. Our home affairs correspondent, | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Danny Shaw, reports. Desperate to get into Britain, | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
but caught by police. That is the fate for an increasing | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
number of migrants who have managed to slip through UK border | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
controls unnoticed. Usually hiding in the back | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
of lorries or trucks, they get out at the side of a road | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
or at a motorway service station Now BBC has discovered how many have | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
been arrested by police for entering In 2013, police made | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
more than 7700 arrests. By 2015, that had | :03:51. | :04:02. | |
increased to over 9600. In total, over the last three years, | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
there have been 27,800 arrests for illegal entry, highlighting | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
the burden placed on police. The fact they have to spend | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
their time dealing with the arrest of the illegal migrants will put | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
greater pressure on them. This is not core policing duties, | :04:22. | :04:24. | |

pressures because of last year's EU migration crisis had caused | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
unprecedented challenges. It said ministers were committed | :04:41. | :04:45. | |

in the film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who has | :05:39. | :05:41. | |

they are "immensely proud" of him. A 29-year-old Frenchman has been | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
charged with her murder. Councils, particularly those | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
in London, are choosing to tackle a shortage of affordable social | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
housing by investing in accommodation in other | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
parts of the country. In some cases people have been asked | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
to relocate up to 60 miles But the practice has come under | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
scrutiny after Redbridge council outbid another local authority | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
who also wanted the accommodation That's a summary of the latest BBC | :06:38. | :06:39. | |

There was a fantastic result for Great Briton's Kyle Edmund | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
in the US Open first round - he provided the biggest shock | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
so far, beating 13th seed Richard Gasquet 6-2, | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
6-2, 6-3 in what's the biggest win of his career so far. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Johanna Konta was in action too on day one in Flushing Meadows, | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
In the sweltering New York heat, Kyle Edmund produced tennis almost | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
The world number 84, two hot to handle for | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
He wrapped up a straight sets victory over the former | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
I definitely played better than I expected to be playing. There were | :07:56. | :08:10. | |
good signs but it all just clicked today so I am grateful for that. | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
Things had cooled down by the time Johanna Konta took to the court. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
The British number one breezed past American Bethanie Mattek-Sands | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
Her serve rarely troubled, and her backhand fierce. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Elsewhere, men's number one Novak Djokovic is through, | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
He struggled with a wrist injury against Poland's Jerzy Janowicz. | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
But despite dropping a set, the defending champion eventually | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
Not so long ago, Rafa Nadal was suffering with a wrist | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
After missing the French Open and Wimbledon, he is safely | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
through to the second round at Flushing Meadows, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
untroubled against Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin. | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
Turning attentions to football now and two members of the England squad | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
are set to leave their clubs on loan deals in the hope of | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Arsenal are willing to let England midfielder Jack Wilshere | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
The 24-year-old only made three appearances for the club last season | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Wilshere played three games at Euro 2016. | :09:08. | :09:32. | |
Joe Hart has been told by new manager Pep Guardiola he is free to | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
leave the club. Meanwhile Wayne Rooney will continue | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
as England football captain. The Manchester United striker has | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
worn the armband for the last two years and has been kept | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
on by new manager Sam Allardyce. Rooney is likely to lead the team | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
in their World Cup qualifier in Slovakia on Sunday, | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
with Allardyce expecting a different contest | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
to their goalless draw at Euro 2016. And finally, have a look at this | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
acrobatic goal in America. It's from a high school game | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
in Colorado, striker versus the goalkeeper, | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
and look at this for spatial awareness and balance | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
from the young centre forward. And a flip and landing | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
that the gymnasts at the Olympics Rather unfortunately the goal wasn't | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
given as the linesman That is all the sport for now, I | :10:19. | :10:32. | |
will have more at 10:30am. As rents continue to rise, | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
one borough in the capital is tackling the shortage | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
of affordable accommodation by moving families to cheaper | :10:44. | :10:44. | |
areas of the country. But the decision to relocate people | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
sometimes up to 60 miles from their community has been | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
controversial because one council - Redbridge - outbid the local | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
authority in Canterbury, who also wanted the accommodation to meet | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
its own social housing needs. With the hard choice of either | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
hostel accommodation in the capital or a home in Kent, | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
has the housing crisis got so bad that families are being | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
forced out of London? A family of seven | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
living in one room. This is emergency accommodation paid | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
for by It costs the council ?350 a week | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
for the Colemans to stay Not everybody can be a high-flyer | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
and earn ?120,000 a year. There is going to be some | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
people on lower incomes. We are on a lower income, | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
because we went for We tried to run or own business to | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
get ourselves out of poverty. Then the Government | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
changed the rules on the | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
benefits and what happened benefit-dependent, they stopped | :11:47. | :11:47. | |
coming and then we got into trouble. How did you end up | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
in this circumstance? Basically, we went to the council | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
and asked for help and they said we had made ourselves intentionally | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
homeless and we should should afford to stay, even though we couldn't | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
afford to stay there. And then basically we went | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
to Social Services, which gave them I have to use the water | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
to wash this, But living here for the last four | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
months has been a struggle. I have no self-respect when it | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
comes to being in here. I would never, I haven't even | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
told my parents about But you can't afford to live | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
in London, that is why you have ended up in benefits and in | :12:36. | :12:55. | |
this hostel? We are on working tax | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
credits and child benefit. Because, yeah, the business | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
wasn't doing so well, because our own customers | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
can't afford it. If the customers can't afford | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
it, then we struggle. But it's not just families who can't | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
afford the rents in the capital. Local authorities in | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
London can't either. That is why Redbridge Council | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
is moving people out of It was a living room-cum-dining room | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
which is not too bad. It's got | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
a really nice kitchen, I must say. The only issue is the homes aren't | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
in the capital, they're 60 miles My family can't get to me, | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
because they don't drive or For them it is going to be hard | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
for them to get to me. The cost of trying to get backwards | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
and forward is going to be mental and the fact that | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
I haven't got a job, because I have had to give it up | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
to come here, also means now that I'm going to be | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
even more out-of-pocket. You're working in London, | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
but most people think it is people on housing benefit are just | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
those out of work, but that is not Yes, they put us in a one-bedroomed | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
little place between all four of us for over a year, | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
and the rent is like 650, 700 quid, That we was getting | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
help with the housing. But to do it on my own would | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
have been... Let's hear from three more people | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
who have experience of what you've He is currently living in a hostel | :14:39. | :14:50. | |
in Ilford, where a family Sharan Kaur was offered | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
a place in Canterbury, she's been living in a hostel | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
in London and Roger Harding is from | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
the homeless charity Shelter. Thank you all for joining us. Mark, | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
we saw you in the film on this situation. For you now, going | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
forward, do you have any indication of what might happen? Absolutely | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
none. One of the failures of the Council is lack of communication. We | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
don't even know, officially, our status, how long we are likely to be | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
there. We also don't know weather we are likely to be moved at any time. | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
The property, as you have probably seen, is substandard. We may be | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
moved to another equally substandard. You want to stay put, | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
you don't want to move out of the area? I want to stay in Redbridge | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
because I'm local to that area, I don't want to be in Manchester, | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
Birmingham or... It does not solve the problem, putting me in a hostel | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
in Birmingham. I am on the sake -- same stuck in stances but in a | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
different area, and if I move, I have to give up work. Sharan, you | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
were offered a place away from where you lived in Canterbury, but then it | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
was taken away? It was because of circumstances. But you were prepared | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
to move away from your area? I was, I thought it would be a new start | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
for me and my family. What is the situation for you now? We are | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
currently in a hostel in one bedroom, five of us. Me, my husband | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
and my three children. How long have you been in that situation? Roughly | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
11 months. How did you end up in that? It was basically because our | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
landlord where we were previously decided to put the rent up, and we | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
could not afford it. So then we were made homeless. What is it like | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
living in that environment? It is not healthy. It is like living in... | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
It is like living in hell. So what happens in that room? Mark's family | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
do everything, including cooking, is it the same for you? Similar | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
circumstances apart from the cooking, that is communal. But where | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
we live, there is a refuge recycling centre at the back, there are flies, | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
all sorts of maths, the people there are not very hygienic. It is a | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
communal kitchen, communal bathroom. My children are just suffocating, | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
basically, we are all in one room. Is it important to you... As you | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
said, you were prepared to move to Canterbury but that situation | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
changed, are you happy to move away in order to get better | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
accommodation, is that more important to you than where you are? | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
Well, yes. I just want what is best for me and my children and my | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
husband. You know, if an opportunity came up outside of London, then I | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
would be prepared to accept. Just because where we are now it is not | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
good. Roger, you are with the homeless charity Shelter, what do | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
you think of councils and local areas getting accommodation | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
elsewhere so that they can offer more accommodation to people in | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
their area who do not have the accommodation? We are certainly | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
seeing a lot more of it up and down the country, particularly in London. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
Our services see similar instances to Mark and Sharan's, people when | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
they are made homeless being offered somewhere out of the borough, or | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
when they are offered somewhere permanent, it's being out of the | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
borough. It can be a permanent solution, as Sharan says, some | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
families are willing to move, but for other families it might move | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
them away from jobs, families, caring situations, medical | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
treatment. It is a particularly stark incidence of the wider housing | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
crisis affecting people up and down the income scale in a variety of | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
situations. Some councils could be better in how they could be more | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
sensitive at how they work with people, but I feel full councils | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
because their budgets have been cut by around 25%, so it would be great | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
to see councils acting more sensitively, but also great to see | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
national government giving them more funding to provide better temporary | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
accommodation and see the National government investing in a lot more | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
affordable housing so we do not have this mess in the first place. At its | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
heart, this is from a complete lack of homes in key parts of the | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
country, which is causing this and often the homelessness in the first | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
place. Mark says that if you live in a council house in London and can't | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
afford the rent, you have to leave, like everybody else. If you are | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
struggling to make your life work in the area that you are in, what | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
about...? It is great, but it is not just where you live. As was | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
indicated earlier, my daughter is bipolar, she receives medical care. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
She is under local authority care. My other daughter is also having | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
mental health issues, she is... I could nudge is simply approved them. | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
Could they not get the care of swag? Yes, but there is a waiting list, | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
you do not just transfer and it is done. The waiting lists for mental | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
health can be up to a year. We cannot simply up sticks. So you feel | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
trapped, you and your partner both work but you don't make enough to | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
effectively live where you do, but you cannot move? My daughter is in | :20:58. | :21:09. | |
her GCSE year. This is the year she should be studying. She does not | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
want to be uprooted and moved to wherever and start again, I am not | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
even sure it is logistically possible. | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
Sharan, you have said you want to move, do you feel hopeful that your | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
situation might change? Not at the moment. With Redbridge, they don't | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
even make the effort to contact you to see how you are doing, to ask you | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
an update on your bidding status. They don't make any effort | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
whatsoever. Do you know where you are in the order if something comes | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
up? Wee bit every Wednesday. Explain how that works? -- we bid every | :21:46. | :21:56. | |
Wednesday. You go on to the website, they give you a bidding number, they | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
tell you if you are eligible or not, currently we are around 100 and | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
something in a list. Roger, two councils involved here, Canterbury | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
Council has spoken about the barracks that were paid for by the | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
London borough, they are unhappy because they wanted them for their | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
own local needs. -- the barracks that were bid four. They say it will | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
mean greater financial strain on local schools and care. Where does | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
this stop? This is part of the problem, sometimes it can be | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
difficult for families to move of London. And then the local services | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
struggled to accommodate them because they have their own problems | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
and needs, residents to deal with. Sadly, this is getting worse. The | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
number of families with children being made homeless has gone up 42% | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
in the last five years, it continues to rise and that will continue more | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
as the housing shortage gets worse. What we would like to see at Shelter | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
is councils being more sensitive in treating people in difficult | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
circumstances, the Government putting forward more money, and for | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
the new Government to bring forward a significant programme of | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
house-building, particularly genuinely affordable properties that | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
regular families can afford to rent long-term buy. We have a massive | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
shortage of homes, this is the only long-term way to deal with it. | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
Pat says this policy has been used before. In the 1950s when housing | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
was short, many of my relatives and others from Chelsea were relocated | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
to places like Swindon, Basingstoke and new towns. While they made very | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
good lives, they were separated from family and fronts who could not | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
visit often and were deprived of their support. I have sympathy for | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
those being moved, especially when people like Kensington and Chelsea | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
are selling off properties gifted for the poor by the Sutton Trust. I | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
don't believe anyone has the right to live in London at public expense. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
In the 1950s the national government was creating new towns out of | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
London, all of those listed, Bracknell, Stevenage etc, new towns | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
built to deal with a chronic lack of housing caused by the Brits then. We | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
are not seeing the new housing being built at the moment, if people are | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
being moved out of London there is just more pressure in an area all | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
under -- already under pressure, it is not a sustainable way of dealing | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
with it. It is a new Government with a great opportunity to look at this | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
afresh, to kick-start house-building, they have options | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
like new towns, giving people an opportunity where they want to take | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
it, they would happily have a fresh start outside of London provided | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
there was something other than just another hostel. Mark, you are not | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
happy for a fresh start, so you could stay in this one-bedroom... I | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
would be happy to go to a permanent residence outside London, but I am | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
not happy to be moved out of the borough into another temporary | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
accommodation, it is like they are shifting the blame to another | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
borough, pushing the problem away. What about the issues of the care | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
your children need, the jobs? It would be difficult. But you would do | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
that for a permanent move? Yes, but not for a temporary move where I | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
would not know how long I would be there for and what would happen to | :25:30. | :25:31. | |
the family after that. When Redbridge temporarily moved just | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
dealing, -- us to Ealing, Ealing wanted to put this in Birmingham. We | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
rejected that it went back to Redbridge on principle and forced | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
them to houses. We told them we are not taking temporary accommodation | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
outside of the area, but if you offer me somewhere permanent and | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
they say you can go here for ever, if you like, I would bite the hands | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
off and take it. Thank you all very much. Lots and | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
lots getting in touch. Leslie says, please don't blame the private | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
landlords for increasing prices, house purchase prices are going up, | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
pushing up rent. Redbridge Council Centre a statement. | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
You are getting in touch as well on the Paralympics in Rio and the lack | :26:22. | :26:48. | |
of seats being sold. Only 12% have been sold. There is an effort to get | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
seats sold through crowdfunding so that local Rio children can go along | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
and watch the Paralympics. Carla says, why are the able-bodied and | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
Paralympics held at different events? Merging them would remove | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
funding issues and give the quality they deserve. Liz says my family, | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
fronts and I went to the London 2012 Paralympics on five occasions. An | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
experience that touched our lives, we will remember it forever. We | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
should all support these amazing sports men and women as they give us | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
all hope and joy, good luck Team GB, great campaign to fill the seats. | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
A Ukrainian teenager whose mother was murdered is due to find out | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
if she will be deported back to Ukraine today. | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
15-year-old Iryna Mynich-Voysey has been fighting to be allowed to stay | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
in the UK since her mother was murdered four years ago. | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
At the time, Iryna was living in the UK with a couple - Terence | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
and Heather Voysey - who have been battling | :27:45. | :27:45. | |
against the Government to keep her here ever since. | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
They say her life would be in danger if she was sent home, | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
but the Home Office argue that her visa has expired | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
and she should return to live with her grandmother. | :27:54. | :27:55. | |
Now Iryna, Terence and Heather have taken their case to the High Court. | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
Earlier they spoke to us from outside the court. | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
Has and myself have been involved with the charity bringing children | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
from the Chernobyl nuclear contamination zone since 2009. Iryna | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
was one of a group of ten little girls who came to us in 2012 for her | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
three or four weak health recuperation visited to escape the | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
radiation and give her body a boost as she went into puberty, as it | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
were. It was about a third of the way that trip that we had a phone | :28:33. | :28:40. | |
call, indirectly, from Kiev in Ukraine, to say that, tragically, | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
Iryna 's mother and her boyfriend at the time had been brutally murdered, | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
shot in the head and had their throats cut and dumped in the river. | :28:50. | :28:56. | |
Obviously that was a little bit of a shock, to put it mildly. After a | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
little bit of speaking to experts in Cornwall as to do we tell Iryna or | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
not, we had a message comes through that we were to withhold telling her | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
and the family would tell her on her return, because if she returned, the | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
whole group had to return because they were on a link to these. What | :29:14. | :29:20. | |
is the situation now for Iryna, what stage argue in the process? Because | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
the leave to remain was submitted before the Visa expired, it stopped | :29:27. | :29:30. | |
the clock on the Visa. We lodged an appeal within the permitted time | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
after the refusal came through in September last year. It took another | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
considerable number of months until February of this year for them to | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
acknowledge the appeal and give us the court date. That was obviously | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
six or seven months down the line, which is today. Today is the | :29:53. | :29:57. | |
critical day where we make our case, but the Government refused the leave | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
to remain application two grounds. One, education, citing there is | :30:03. | :30:04. | |
perfectly good education in Ukraine. In the remote villages, | :30:05. | :30:16. | |
the education is appalling, and this is testified | :30:17. | :30:17. | |
, and Arena doesn't mind me saying this , | :30:18. | :30:19. | |
by the fact that when she arrived in the UK, she couldn't even tell | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
the time on a conventional watch, couldn't even do the most way | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
sick arithmetic . So, education, I think | :30:27. | :30:28. | |
we have nailed that one, and the second one, they said | :30:29. | :30:30. | |
that the grandmother is perfectly The grandmother is now aged 80, | :30:31. | :30:32. | |
bedridden, requires care 24/7, and over the last week or so, | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
she has gone blind. We provided evidence | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
to the Home Office to say that her medical situation | :30:40. | :30:41. | |
was so bad, they have refused to take it on the grounds | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
that we are in a judicial process. It is for the court to decide. | :30:47. | :31:00. | |
Iryna, how do you feel about the fact of going back to live in the | :31:01. | :31:07. | |
Ukraine? I am just scared, I am really worrying about the situation | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
that I will have to go back to Ukraine. It is the most scariest | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
thing you can only think about. What scares you the most? Wall. -- more. | :31:16. | :31:36. | |
First of all, there is a more. Are you worried that there is nobody | :31:37. | :31:40. | |
there to look after you? My anti-can't handle it any more, she | :31:41. | :31:47. | |
had three strokes last year. She can't look after so many people. | :31:48. | :31:51. | |
Heather, how do you feel about this? Terrible, it's come to this | :31:52. | :32:03. | |
situation and we are struggling all the time. It has cost our time, | :32:04. | :32:10. | |
psychologically it wears you down, financially, and Paul Iryna, why | :32:11. | :32:14. | |
should a 15-year-old go through this? -- poor Iryna. We just want to | :32:15. | :32:23. | |
know what will happen and hopefully it will be a positive solution. | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
Thank you. A short time ago the Home Office | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
released a statement saying... Still to come, Hollywood stars pay | :32:30. | :33:01. | |

Sam Allardyce has made his first major decision as England | :35:46. | :35:58. | |
boss and decided to keep Manchester United's Wayne | :35:59. | :36:00. | |
The 30-year-old took over from Steven Gerrard | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
following the World Cup in 2014 and will lead England | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
into qualification for the next tournament, starting | :36:10. | :36:11. | |
England's Joe Hart is likely to spend the season away | :36:12. | :36:16. | |
The FA gave permission for the Manchester City keeper | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
to leave Allardyce's camp and travel to Italy for a medical with Torino. | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
Jack Wilshere is also likely to go out on loan. | :36:25. | :36:27. | |
Arsenal say they want the midfielder to get regular first team football. | :36:28. | :36:30. | |
He's struggled to regain a starting spot at the Emirates after a broken | :36:31. | :36:33. | |

Diagnosing a heart attack quickly and accurately is crucial, | :37:04. | :37:05. | |
to not only save lives but stop irreversible damage to heart muscle. | :37:06. | :37:07. | |
New research out today says almost a third of patients in England | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
and Wales are being given the wrong initial diagnosis | :37:11. | :37:12. | |
It also reveals that women are 50% more | :37:13. | :37:15. | |
likely than men to be given incorrect diagnosis. | :37:16. | :37:17. | |
Researchers said misdiagnosis could have been behind more | :37:18. | :37:19. | |
Today, the British Heart Foundation are calling on the public and health | :37:20. | :37:25. | |
care professionals to be more aware of the signs of heart attack. | :37:26. | :37:32. | |
Joining me are 48-year-old Sarah Walsh, who put | :37:33. | :37:34. | |
the symptoms of her heart attack down to indigestion, | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
cardiac nurse Lucy Wilkinson, and from our | :37:38. | :37:40. | |
Middlesbrough studio, Lisa Price whose heart attack went | :37:41. | :37:42. | |
undiagnosed for so long she's been left with permanent damage. | :37:43. | :37:53. | |
Sarah, you thought your heart attack was indigestion. What happened? I | :37:54. | :38:02. | |
had an Indian curry and it was the first one I had had for a long time, | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
then for three days after I had chest pains. I put it down to I | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
should never have had that curry, but then I carried on with my | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
everyday life and it didn't stop me doing anything. Describe what it | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
felt like them. It just felt uncomfortable in my chest, like | :38:22. | :38:28. | |
indigestion. Because I haven't ever experienced any other chest pains I | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
didn't know what to think of it as, I didn't act on it. When did you act | :38:33. | :38:41. | |
on it? That came later, I was at my mum's house, I came over all funny. | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
My friend was there as well, she called a paramedic and he believed I | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
was having a panic attack but it was the onset of a heart attack but we | :38:51. | :38:58. | |
didn't know at the time. What happened then? It all went a bit | :38:59. | :39:01. | |
crazy. I couldn't breathe so because I couldn't breathe I was getting | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
myself in the real state. The paramedic was fantastic, he kept | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
telling me to take deep breaths and try to control my breathing. He ran | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
an ECG on me which came back fine so at that point they weren't concerned | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
about anything. In the meantime they fetched my husband and he came, then | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
I took a turn for the worst, came over really hard and clammy. Didn't | :39:26. | :39:38. | |
know what to do with myself. Then the paramedic said, I think there is | :39:39. | :39:40. | |
something wrong here. Did another ECG, said, I think she is having a | :39:41. | :39:43. | |
heart attack. I was fighting because I couldn't breathe, but not for any | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
other reason. I even joked with him, he said to me, I want you to chew on | :39:48. | :39:56. | |
aspirin for me, then I will give you more thing, and I said to him, can I | :39:57. | :40:04. | |
have the nice bit first? He gave me a shot of morphine, then I went into | :40:05. | :40:12. | |
cardiac arrest and my husband had to compress my chest while the | :40:13. | :40:14. | |
paramedic got the defibrillator ready. What happened to Sarah was | :40:15. | :40:22. | |
not what we expect of a heart attack, the feeling of indigestion | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
and the way it played out. Yes, unfortunately it is not uncommon for | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
women to dismiss the signs of a heart attack and women don't think | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
it will happen to them. But indigestion, the way she described | :40:38. | :40:44. | |
it, would anybody pick up on that? Unfortunately that is the sign of a | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
heart attack, a feeling of indigestion. We think of a heart | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
attack as a crushing chest pain, shortness of breath, and | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
unfortunately a lot of time it is mild shortness of breath, pressure | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
on the chest, pins and needles in the arm, this can be signs and | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
symptoms of heart attack. Now you know about that, where there are | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
other tell-tale signs that make you think? No, now obviously I know that | :41:11. | :41:17. | |
was a warning sign but I have no reason to be scared. I never thought | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
in a million years I would be having a heart attack. Let's go to Lisa, | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
who also had a heart attack after surgery. What happened? Theresa May | :41:28. | :41:34. | |
that's right, I had surgery on my ankle, I was waiting to be | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
discharged. I felt extremely sick, it came on so very quickly. The | :41:39. | :41:45. | |
nurse cleaning up the area said, you are not going home now, we need to | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
look into this. It was then that the pains in my chest started to take | :41:52. | :41:56. | |
shape, it was like a crumbling, heavy sensation, like I had a small | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
child sitting on my chest that wouldn't move. As the symptoms | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
progressed, it was like a burning sensation like a cannonball had been | :42:05. | :42:12. | |
thrown through my chest bone, through my ribs and out the back. | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
How quickly was diagnosed as a heart attack? At first I was given | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
paracetamol, I was misdiagnosed, being the assumption was it was a | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
reaction from the anaesthetic after the surgery I had on my ankle. The | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
paracetamol obviously didn't touch the sides of any pain by hard on the | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
doctor was called to see me as soon as they could. The ECG was taken and | :42:38. | :42:43. | |
it doesn't give immediate results to say that it is a heart attack so | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
further tests were taken and it was a little while before I was | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
correctly diagnosed. And you have been left with permanent damage? | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
Yes, I had emergency angioplasty and the blood clot was removed but I now | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
have resulting heart failure. And what does that mean? It means I get | :43:06. | :43:12. | |
very exhausted, breathlessness is a real problem, walking in the wind | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
can be really tiresome and quite hard, and you really do have to | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
adapt your life, the mental side of things as well is quite hard to | :43:22. | :43:24. | |
adapt to but there is life afterwards. You can find a way to | :43:25. | :43:30. | |
deal with it but it is very hard, certainly when it is a shock and | :43:31. | :43:33. | |
trauma to your system. Lucy, there is a belief that women are less | :43:34. | :43:36. | |
likely to have heart attacks than men. Yes, it is a common | :43:37. | :43:48. | |
misconception. Women are actually twice as likely to die from coronary | :43:49. | :43:53. | |
heart disease than they are from breast cancer so it is important to | :43:54. | :43:58. | |
raise this that women can die from heart attacks and can easily dismiss | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
the signs and symptoms. It is about taking responsibility for ourselves, | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
knowing the signs and symptoms and what the risks for heart disease can | :44:08. | :44:13. | |
be, and unfortunately it can affect people of all ages, men and women. | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
We are constantly doing research into how we can get the faster | :44:18. | :44:23. | |
diagnosis and better outcome. Talk us through the signs and symptoms we | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
should be aware of. Mostly it is chest pain and chest discomfort, | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
like someone is sitting on you almost. Shortness of breath is | :44:35. | :44:40. | |
common, nausea, vomiting. A pain that radiates down the left arm is | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
common in some people. But anything that is abnormal, we need to be | :44:45. | :44:53. | |
thinking that it could be a cardiac symptoms, not just indigestion or we | :44:54. | :44:56. | |
have had a curry a couple of nights before. Women need to be taking that | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
decision and thinking, yes, this could be a heart attack. Making sure | :45:02. | :45:04. | |
they get Presumably you were taking something | :45:05. | :45:13. | |
for what you thought was indigestion? I tend to let things | :45:14. | :45:18. | |
right, I only take things if I absolutely have to. You must have | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
had a shock when they said you are having a heart attack? It was not | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
until after my surgery when I had a stand fitted and a little that it | :45:29. | :45:32. | |
came to light. I had no idea, it happened so fast, I could not take | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
on board that it had happened to me. I still don't know, really. How can | :45:38. | :45:45. | |
we reduce risk of attacks? There is plenty in terms of lifestyle | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
factors. We can keep things under control like cholesterol and blood | :45:50. | :45:53. | |
pressure, make sure we keep physically active and stick to a | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
diet low in saturated fat, all of these things. At the BHF we are | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
researching into how we can get in early, quicker diagnosis. The | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
quicker we can diagnose a heart attack, the less risk of heart | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
failure that, unfortunately, Lisa has. Why are women more likely to be | :46:13. | :46:19. | |
misdiagnosed, because they dismiss the symptoms? I think women very | :46:20. | :46:29. | |
much think it just happens to a certain type of man of a certain age | :46:30. | :46:32. | |
who is a smoker and maybe has diabetes. That is certainly not the | :46:33. | :46:34. | |
case, women need to take their symptoms seriously and realise they | :46:35. | :46:38. | |
are read to much at risk of heart disease as men. Lisa, it was not a | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
lifestyle issue for you, it was after surgery, but no doubt it has | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
made you more aware about the issue of heart attacks in women? Mine was | :46:48. | :46:53. | |
through an actual blood clot, as soon as it was removed, the pain had | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
immediately gone, I did not even need the consultant to say that it | :46:59. | :47:06. | |
out, I just knew. The pain was that severe, then it was gone. It shows | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
how quickly onslaught of something like that can be. Had I known, | :47:10. | :47:14. | |
really, what the symptoms could have been, I would have acted on it a lot | :47:15. | :47:20. | |
sooner. I put my hands around the nurse's throat following the | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
operation, I had no idea that the burning, crushing sensation could | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
have been a heart attack. I was aware of the jaw tingling, the | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
feeling down the left arm, but women really need to be aware that there | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
is a lot more that you could have as personal symptoms relating to a | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
heart attack, heart failure is not something you want to have. Thank | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
you all very much. The singer Taylor Swift has been | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
dismissed from jury duty after allegedly telling a judge she could | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
not be impartial in an aggravated rape and kidnapping case. The Grammy | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
award-winning singer told the judge she would be more than willing to | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
serve on a jury in any other type of case. Chi Chi Izundu joins us. What | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
happened? She had this jury service coming up, she did not try to get | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
out of it, she arrived at court, they must have got quite a surprise | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
when Taylor Swift showed up? Everybody was asking where she was | :48:21. | :48:26. | |
during the MTV video music awards over the weekend. It turns out that | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
she did not even submit any videos from her bestselling album 1989, so | :48:31. | :48:35. | |
she was not planning on attending, then video footage and photographs | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
surfaced of her in amongst about 150 possible juror is for this case in | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
Nashville, an aggravated rape case, she asked to be dismissed because | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
she has her own case going on and she did not feel she could be | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
impartial towards being a jury member on the one in Nashville. So | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
she will not do jury service on this particular case, but she has pointed | :48:59. | :49:08. | |
out that if she is elected again in the future, she is happy to sit | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
again, considering it does not clash with anything else in her life, on a | :49:12. | :49:14. | |
jury, so she could be a member of a jury in a courtroom. What is the | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
personal case? A former radio host in 2013 sued Taylor Swift over false | :49:20. | :49:28. | |
accusations heart, he claims, of him touching her backside backstage at | :49:29. | :49:33. | |
an event. She has countersued him, saying she was hurt and shocked at | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
his allegations. Because of that case, which is still ongoing in the | :49:39. | :49:42. | |
States, she did not feel she could have an impartial judgment on the | :49:43. | :49:48. | |
rape case that she had been asked to sit on in this election in | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
Nashville. Do you know of other stars that have served on jury is? I | :49:53. | :49:58. | |
think it is quite difficult for celebrities. They are high profile | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
people, big names. It would cause a distraction in court. I think | :50:04. | :50:07. | |
Madonna has been excused a number of times just because it would be | :50:08. | :50:12. | |
weird, it would be weird to look up and see a celebrity in the jury box, | :50:13. | :50:20. | |
if you like, trying to judge a case impartially. I think it would cause | :50:21. | :50:24. | |
too much destruction. Taylor Swift say she will do it if Calder began, | :50:25. | :50:30. | |
let's see what happens. Thank you very much. | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
-- is called up again. Let me bring you some of the tax issues with | :50:35. | :50:40. | |
Apple in Ireland. We hear that EU anti-trust regulators have ordered | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
Ireland to recover up to 13 billion year rows in illegal tax benefits | :50:45. | :50:55. | |
from Apple. -- 13 billion euros. They claim there has been a | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
sweetheart tax deal between Apple and Ireland which enabled Apple to | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
pay corporation tax of around 4%, which they say was anti-competition | :51:05. | :51:10. | |
and they were not allowed to be doing. They are now telling Ireland | :51:11. | :51:16. | |
that Ireland has to recover up to 13 billion euros in what it says were | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
illegal tax benefits. "It is almost unbearable | :51:21. | :51:25. | |
for us to contemplate our life without him" - | :51:26. | :51:27. | |
the words used by Jordan Walker-Pearlman, the nephew | :51:28. | :51:30. | |
of Gene Wilder to describe the late He enjoyed a 49 year career | :51:31. | :51:32. | |
in Hollywood and had starring roles in Blazing Saddles, | :51:33. | :51:41. | |
Young Frankenstein, and The Producers - | :51:42. | :51:42. | |
but he's probably best known The director, Mel Brooks | :51:43. | :51:45. | |
who worked with him said: "Gene Wilder - One of the truly | :51:46. | :51:49. | |
great talents of our time. He blessed every film we did | :51:50. | :51:52. | |
with his magic he blessed me Actor Jim Carrey tweeted: | :51:53. | :51:54. | |
"Gene Wilder was one of the funniest and sweetest energies ever | :51:55. | :51:57. | |
to take a human form. If there's a heaven | :51:58. | :51:59. | |
he has a Golden Ticket." Stephen Fry has described him | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
as a genius, saying "Farewell Thank you for all those | :52:03. | :52:04. | |
happy happy hours." And the American actor | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
and comedian Steve Martin said You were one of the great | :52:09. | :52:11. | |
screen comedians. In a moment, | :52:12. | :52:13. | |

of the ten Oompa-Loompas in Willy Wonka and the | :54:56. | :54:57. | |
Chocolate Factory in 1971. Thank you very, very much for | :54:58. | :55:09. | |
joining us. What were your memories of Gene Wilder? Absolutely | :55:10. | :55:14. | |
fantastic. When I first met him I thought, what a kind, gentle man | :55:15. | :55:19. | |
this is. And he was. And he had a brilliant comic brain. He was a | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
genius. A twinkle in his eye, you knew something would happen, | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
brilliant man. What about him made you think, what a kind, gentle man, | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
when you met him? Between takes he would sit down and talk to the five | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
kids, some of these kids were there without their parents, and he was | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
just chatting to them, like a fatherly figure, telling them | :55:44. | :55:46. | |
stories, keeping them entertained and relaxed. That is what he was | :55:47. | :55:52. | |
like. Brilliant. And that twinkle in his eye that you described, you said | :55:53. | :55:57. | |
things would happen around him. What sort of things? He has said that he | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
was not funny, he was very funny on screen, but he said he was not fit. | :56:03. | :56:08. | |
On screen he was funny, there was one bit in Wonka when he got me to | :56:09. | :56:13. | |
take Mrs TV to the taxi pulling area, and he is supposed to say, | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
just whisper something in my ear. He put his head down to me and he said, | :56:18. | :56:26. | |
who the hell are you? Cut. We are seeing a picture of you as an | :56:27. | :56:35. | |
Oompa-Loompa, you are bottom left. That movie was made so many years | :56:36. | :56:40. | |
ago, but so well loved by generations of kids. The film was | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
made for adults, by the way. The director, Mel Stuart, made it for | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
adults, but children absolutely love it worldwide. Because it has magic. | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
The film has got lovely lots of magic. When you turn it on and see | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
the chocolate roll to the glass elevator at the end, fantastic. Were | :57:01. | :57:06. | |
you aware whether he had much of a creative input into it? I read that | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
he actually said that one of the things that he was absolutely | :57:11. | :57:14. | |
adamant about when he first appeared on screen, he would do that thing of | :57:15. | :57:19. | |
walking along with the walking stick, then fall to the ground and | :57:20. | :57:25. | |
jump back up? We were very aware, he had a lot of input, especially in | :57:26. | :57:31. | |
the inventing room, but his first entrance, I thought it was | :57:32. | :57:34. | |
brilliant. He wanted to portray Willy Wonka as a man of surprises. | :57:35. | :57:42. | |
Surprises around every corner. That is why he put the stick on a cobbled | :57:43. | :57:51. | |
stone, two steps, the forward role, I'm here. It was, wow. The man is | :57:52. | :58:00. | |
scary, magical but beautiful. Thank you very much, Rusty, a Oompa-Loompa | :58:01. | :58:07. | |
in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, along with Gene Wilder. | :58:08. | :58:09. | |
