Hello, it's Thursday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Our top story - as a teenage girl is grabbed off the street in Oxford | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
on her way to school, police hunt for | :00:17. | :00:17. | |
The girl was sexually assaulted before raising the alarm. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
school children in the area are warned to stay together in groups. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Complaints against the police fall by staggering 90% when they wear | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
when they wear body cameras, according to new research. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
We'll ask officers why the cameras seem to have such a big impact | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
on their behaviour - and the people they deal with. | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
Drop the knife now! Down on the floor! | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
And the success of Welsh athletes at the Rio games | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
is celebrated in a major event in Cardiff this evening. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
We'll speak to some of the medal winners who'll be there. | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
Welcome to the programme, we're live each weekday morning until 11. | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
After ten we're going to bring you a video diary which an aid | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
worker in iraw has been recording for you - as she goes to help | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
families who are being freed from living under Islamic State | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
I really would urge you to watch that just after 10; use the hashtag | :01:26. | :01:39. | |
Victoria LIVE and If you text, you will be charged | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
If you're a police officer, I would love your experiences | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
of working with body cameras, what difference have | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Do get in touch and we'll talk to you this morning. | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
Police in Oxford are appealing for witnesses after a teenage girl | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
was abducted while walking to school and sexually assaulted. | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
snatched from a busy street by two white men in a silver car. | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
She was found at midday yesterday knocking on doors | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
of nearby houses and is now | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
Let's talk to our reporter Brennan Nicholls who's in Oxford for us. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
This happened not far from where you are, what do we know? 8:25am | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
yesterday on the junction of Banbury Road, it's a medieval city on the | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
River Thames so there are crossings over the river, major routes into | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
the city, the Banbury Road is one of those. It's extremely busy every | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
hour of every day as is the next road at the junction and there are | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
several schools in the area, so to keep time when students were walking | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
to school this girl, said the police, was snatched from the street | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
by two man in a silver vehicle at 830. She was found around midday one | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
mile away at a housing estate, knocking on doors. Please describe | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
it as a serious and shocking case. They say that they are putting extra | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
police presence in the area to gather information and alleviate | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
concerns. -- police describe it as a serious case. Parents and pupils | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
will be worried. Really busy, broad daylight, the police must be hoping | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
somebody saw these men. They hope so, they say the investigation is | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
ongoing, the girl is dealing with specially trained officers. The | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
recommendation to pupils and parents today is not to walk to school | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
alone. They must go with other friends bought with their parents. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
That's pretty stark, something I haven't heard from the Thames Valley | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Police, this is not the type of story of dealt with in my 20 years | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
reporting. It is unusual, unprecedented, worrying for all | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
parents. The police say they are committing as much as possible to | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
read. At the moment that girl is getting specialist care from | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
officers trained to deal with this kind of situation. If anyone saw | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
anything at 8:25am yesterday please get in contact with Thames Valley | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Police. Thank you. We hope to speak to a representative of Thames Valley | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
Police this morning. Ben Brown is in the BBC | :04:22. | :04:21. | |
Newsroom with a summary The inquiry into child sexual abuse | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
in England and Wales has been thrown into fresh chaos with the suspension | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
of its most senior lawyer. A spokeswoman said officials had | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
recently become very concerned about aspects of Ben | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Emmerson's leadership. Our home affairs correspondent, | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
Tom Symonds, reports. Ben Emmerson QC has plenty | :04:38. | :04:49. | |
of experience of public inquiries. His role in this one was to include | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
questioning witnesses at hearings But now the inquiry has published | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
the damaging statement... It has become very concerned | :04:55. | :05:14. | |
about the leadership of his team. Mr Emmerson has refused to comment, | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
beyond claiming that he learnt about his suspension | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
from media reports. The BBC has been told more than one | :05:20. | :05:20. | |
complaint has been made against him. Emmerson has been a central figure | :05:21. | :05:38. | |
of what has become an enquiry Last month, Lowell Goddard became | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
the third chair to resign. Now Professor Alexis Jay, | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
the academic who revealed child sexual exploitation in Rotherham, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
is in charge, but the suspension of her senior lawyer means the sense | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
of crisis has not gone away. The Italian Prime Minister, | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
Matteo Renzi, has told the BBC it will be impossible for Brexit | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
negotiations to result in a deal that gives British people more | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
rights than others outside Mr Renzi said he thought | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
that the referendum result was a bad decision, | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
but he was ready to work with Theresa May to ensure the EU | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
and Britain remained "best friends". Complaints against the police have | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
fallen up to 90% in forces A study involving 2,000 officers | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
in England, Northern Ireland and the United States found | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
that the cameras had a big impact on the behaviour of officers, | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
and the people they deal with. Just a switch at the side, | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
and obviously it clicks quite Wherever the officers | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
go, their cameras go, Today, the two policemen are sent | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
to Cambridge Magistrates Court. A man has been sentenced for theft, | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
but the officers need to question him about another offence, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
so they bring him in. The use of body-worn cameras | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
has become as routine as driving a police car, | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
and now there is evidence that these devices are having a profound | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
impact on the culture and conduct of officers | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
and the public. Cambridge University looked | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
at seven areas where police Complaints from the public dropped | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
93%, compared to the year before, even when officers didn't | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
have cameras attached. The camera has an effect | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
on the behaviour of officers and people they interact with, | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
and it seems that it's contagious, because not only did the complaints | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
go down for the officers that wore the cameras, | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
it also went down for the officers A body-worn camera in volatile | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
situations records clearly what's happened, and can | :07:46. | :08:02. | |
provide crucial evidence. Barnsley football club has | :08:03. | :08:03. | |
suspended assistant manager Tommy Wright after he was named | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
in a Daily Telegraph investigation Mr Wright has been filmed apparently | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
being given an envelope of money in return for allegedly | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
helping to persuade Barnsley to sign The Championship club says he has | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
been suspended "pending an internal investigation | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
into these allegations". Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe is to retire | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
after five years as the Commissioner He'll remain in his | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
post until February, when a successor will be appointed | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
by the Home Secretary His time as head of the Met has | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
included leading the response to the London riots and policing | :08:42. | :08:53. | |
during the London Olympics. A new development in the tax credit | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
story we've been following, the BBC now understands that 150 temporary | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
staff at the Belfast office of concentrates will be let go | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
tomorrow. They say the workers were due to finish soon and recruited on | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
a short term basis. The move is related to the decision by HMRC not | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
to renew a contract with the company. Commonly prescribed | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
painkillers are released to the Mac linked to an increase in heart | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
problems. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs given to | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
almost 10 million people were analysed but UK experts say that | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
because most people in the study are older the findings have little | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
relevance for most people under 65. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
have stopped off in the Yukon as they toured Canada, they had a | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
lesson in local history and joint elders at an indigenous language | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
event for young children, listening to songs and traditional | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
storytelling. That's a summary of the latest news. More from me at | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
930. Thank you. We will be talking about whether all police officers | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
should be is it with one body comes. If you are a police officer and you | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
have used one we would be very interested to hear about your | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
experiences. Now the sports News. John Watson is in Salford. Let's | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
start with more allegations of corruption in football. More | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
allegations coming out of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, this time | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
involving QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who has been pictured | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
and filmed negotiating a ?55,000 fee to act as a sports ambassador, | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
essentially, for sports company which then saw them go on and | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
proposed to him the sale of players to his club. Queens Park Rangers | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
have said they would investigate this fully. As we heard in the news, | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
Tommy Wright, Barnsley assistant manager, is alleged to have accepted | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
a bunch of ?5,000 to assist in the buying and selling players. They | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
both deny wrongdoing, it's a sorry state of affairs, what three days in | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
football, it started with those allegations against the now former | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
England manager Sam Allardyce and also the Daily Telegraph say they | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
have the details of eight Premier League and former Premier League | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
managers who accepted bounds. It leaves the FA in a difficult | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
position to try to source the root of this corrupt behaviour, the | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
details of which, of course we know at this stage, they are having to | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
find a new England manager to replace Sam Allardyce. Interesting | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
that one of the names in the running, Eddie Howe, the Bournemouth | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
manager, has said that while he is committed to Bournemouth he feels | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
the England job is one of the biggest jobs in world football, he | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
called it the ultimate job so it would seem he is potentially putting | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
himself in the frame for that. In the Champions League a lot of goals | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
from British sides. Goals galore. We'll start with the standout game | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
last night, Celtic against Manchester City, a six goal thriller | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
which finished 3-3, Celtic took the lead through Mousa Dembele, twice | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Celtic took the lead but were pegged back. This was his second, which put | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
them ahead, 3-2 and then City equalised, Nolito equalising | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
disappointing for the Celtic fans, Pep Guardiola is on an amazing run, | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
ten matches with his winning run and now it was a draw. Theo Walcott | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
scored for Arsenal, they beat Basle 2-0 last night, he also had a good | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
start to the season. They had a draw in their opening group game so four | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
points on the board for Arsenal and also for Manchester City who got on | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
opening day win in the Champions League and then to last night. The | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Ryder Cup starts tomorrow and already controversy. He would never | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
need much more motivation to get yourself worked up for the Ryder | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
Cup, such a fantastic tournament between the United States and team | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Europe but some incendiary comments have come from Peter Willett, the | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
brother of Danny Willett. He called the American Ryder Cup fans a bunch | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
of imbecile 's. This was in a story that he wrote for a golfing | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
magazine. This was how he described them, as pudgy basement dwelling | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
irritants and obnoxious dads with shiny teeth, Lego man hair, | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
medicated ex-wives and resentful children! It was meant to be tongue | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
in cheek but I suppose with any joke it goes a bit too far. Danny Willett | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
has distanced himself from those comments and has apologised | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
wholeheartedly to Davis Love III, the American captain. Not the sort | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
of comments that you want to be associated with, and certainly | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
there's incendiary comments will no doubt fire up the American team even | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
more so it will be very interesting to see what happens when play starts | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
tomorrow! Thank you, John. The figures seem to speak of themselves, | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
when police were body one camera is 90% of complaints of abuse fall. | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
This comes a study involving 2000 officers in England, Northern | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
Ireland and the United States. Let's speak to Rozske home affairs | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
correspondent, Danny Shaw. Let's talk about this research. This was | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
the biggest study of its kind conducted by the University of | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
Cambridge. They monitored complaints about 2000 officers over the course | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
of one year and they completed almost 1.5 million hours of shift | :15:03. | :15:11. | |
work. So it's a big study. What they found across the board, here and in | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
America was that complaints went down, 113 complaints in those 12 | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
months compared to more than 1500 in the previous year, that's a fall of | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
93%. One of the interesting points was that there is a control group of | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
officers who did not have body one Camara is attached but complaints | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
also fell amongst those officers. The reason, say researchers, is what | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
they term contained just accountability. So the new cultures | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
and practices of policing are becoming embedded across the force, | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
not just with those officers wearing cameras. | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
Why did the complaints go down? Police know their behaviour is being | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
recorded every step of the way so there is some kind of subconscious | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
decision to act more professionally. That perhaps is having the effect of | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
cooling down potentially volatile encounters in the same regard as the | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
public are warned the cameras are switched on, so they know that | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
anything they do could be used in evidence against them. So it's a | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
complex interaction that I think both the public and the police are | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
modifying their behaviour. Talk us through a couple of practical | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
examples of how they work? Body worn cameras are a familiar piece of kit | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
across the UK. They have been around for ten years but more and more | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
officers now have them. We have footage from the West Midlands | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
showing an incident in which press were called to reports -- police | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
were called to reports of a stabbing. You can hear the sights | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
and sounds from this particular incident in the West Midlands and it | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
can obviously help officers when they are supposed to give an | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
account, they can say, here is the footage, here is exactly what | :16:55. | :16:55. | |
happened. Here is the clip. Officer with a Taser! Drop the knife | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
now! Put the knife down on the floor! Put it down! Get out! Get | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
down on the floor! Put your arms out where I can see them. Do it now! | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
That was one clip from West Midlands police. What officers are telling us | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
is that they're most useful in cases of domestic violence. When they go | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
to an incident and record what's happened, perhaps a very upset | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
victim or a perhaps who perhaps has been injured and that evidence can | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
then be used in court even in cases where the victim, the next day | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
retracts her evidence or says they don't want to cooperate with police, | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
and there have been a number of successful convictions. Here is an | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
example of the body worn footage again from West Midlands police in a | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
domestic violence case. I just want him to leave my home. | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
Calm yourself down. Really upsetting but can be crucial | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
evidence. Yes, very crucial evidence and is really a game-changer in some | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
domestic violence cases. I want to ask you about Searle | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Bernard Hogan-Howe, the country's top police officer and an anonesment | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
-- and an announcement that he's retiring. He has had a controversial | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
period in charge? The Met lost Sir Stevenson, there was talk about | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
divisions and splits and leaks, too cosy a relationship with the press | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
and Sir Bernard had to steady the ship. Sir Bernard's ran a tight ship | :18:41. | :18:50. | |
having to oversee cuts. There have been controversies, particularly in | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
his relations with the press, with the Plebgate affair, but south-east | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
been seen to be in command of the force in a way that perhaps some of | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
the previous incumbents of that role haven't been. The surprise is the | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
announcement because we were told his contract, which was running out | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
in autumn, would be extended to next autumn. So going a few months ahead | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
of the start of that contract is a surprise. I wonder if there had been | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
discussions with Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, and it's become | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
apparent that the Mayor would want a new person in charge next year and | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
he's decided to go early because of that. I don't know if that is the | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
case, but that is a suspicion. Let me introduce you to Che Donald | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
from the Police Federation Benjamin Read, | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
his company designs and supplies cameras to 21 police | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
forces in the UK. a solicitor who works | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
on police misconduct cases. And in our Leeds Studio, | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
we have Chief Inspector Ian Williams You've brought some | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
cameras with you, can Pull the switch down, you can hear a | :19:56. | :20:16. | |
beep so when an officer wants to record, they get audio confirm | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
confirmation they are recording because sometimes they won't be able | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
to check. The screen is displaying the footage in real time so the | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
person being recorded can see themselves. We are just obviously | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
recording our camera at the moment and Matt who is behind it. Sure. | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
This has really a great impact on the behaviour of the person being | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
recorded. Not only are they aware they are being filmed but there is a | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
visible demonstration, they can actually see themselves on camera. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
You mean the person being recorded can see themselves so that has an | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
impact on them? . Yes. How do you access what is being recorded? At | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
the end of the shift, an officer will come back and dock the camera | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
in a docking station, our software will then automatically pull that | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
footage off the camera into a secure software which we provide, it's | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
automatically categorised, everything is password and | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
user-level protected and there the officer is able to search back all | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
the footage from the cameras they have been using. They are able to | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
look at the footage, edit it, share it with whatever needs to see it. ? | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
Edit it? So if there is a 20-minute clip so they need three minutes of | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
it, they are able to cut out the three minutes to send to the courts | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
perhaps to be viewed by a jury. But if the prosecution wanted the whole | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
20 minutes they could have that? Exactly, yes. The original file is | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
never altered, it's a new file that's created. OK, so you are | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
wearing one which clips on to your shirt. I am. If it was a police | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
officer it would be one of these? That's right. Why does that keep | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
beeping? I just keep turning it on and now it's recording. Depending on | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
the mounting method, most will not use a clip, they'll use this which | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
is a clip stud. It's actually how they secure the radio and all sorts | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
of bits of kit on. It's the most secure way of mounting and it will | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
click in like that. It's very difficult to take off so it's a good | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
mounting solution. Let's bring in the police officer, Chief Inspector | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
Ian Williams from West Yorkshire Police. Welcome to the programme. | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
What do you think of the body cameras? Good morning. Yes, they're | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
excellent. We have rolled out 2,000 of them in West Yorkshire, we are in | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
the process of doing that. We did that on the back of the study which | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
we were part of. The learning we got from that wasn't just about reduced | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
complaints, there were all sorts of benefits that we really need to | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
emphasise, such as the reduction in time spent at court, the fact that | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
vulnerable victims no longer need to go in certain cases. The increased | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
detection rate. Complaints is a small part of it and that's not the | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
driving force for why we have done it, it's more about accountability | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
and really sort of supporting victims, that's the driving force | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
behind it for West Yorkshire Police. Sure but it's had a modifying effect | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
on police officer's behaviour. What do you think about that - clearly a | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
good thing - but what do you say about the fact that the cameras are | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
having this impact? I'm sure it does have an impact on what they are | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
thinking when they're there, but at the end of the day police officers | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
are professional people. I draw your attention to some recent examples. | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
We had a complaint made to the police recently where the officers | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
were wearing body-worn footage and the allegation was in relation to | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
the way that this lady had been treated and damage caused and, the | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
footage was looked at early on in the investigation, and it was found | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
to be completely at odds with what the complainant had said. She was | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
phoned back and told this and she withdrew the complaint, so it's not | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
just about the behaviour of officers but suspects as well that are being | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
dealt with because they'll change their behaviour when they know they | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
are on camera. It's about the reduced complaints because people | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
won't make malicious complaints any more which we get a lot of. It's | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
about early resolution of people that make genuine complaints too | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
because it's absolutely right that that shouldn't be dragged out and | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
take any longer than it needs to. We can get that resolution quickly with | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
body Armour. Shay McDonald, for your members and officers out and about | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
doing their job wearing these, are there any disadvantages? No, I don't | :24:43. | :24:53. | |
think so. When body worn cameras were first introduced, there was a | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
bit of scepticism. Officers saw the benefits that the cameras provided. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
It changed that mindset. From the federation point of view, we'd | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
recommend that every police officer that's front line has access at | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
least to body worn video. It's a prerequisite that if you have it, | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
you are equipped with it. Does the individual officer have | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
control over when she or he switches the camera on? He or she does. So it | :25:24. | :25:35. | |
depends entirely on the way that the situations are recorded upon when | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
that officer switches on the camera itself. In the study that was | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
produced, the cameras were on all the time. | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
Most definitely switched on before they arrived. The study also went on | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
to show that if it was switched on half way through, it changed the | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
playing field somewhat, so although it's fantastic and the numbers are | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
great, it's not overall the panacea to resolving police complaints. I | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
think the study makes reference to that as well. Lawrence Barker, your | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
firm fights the cases of misconduct. What have you heard about the use of | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
body cameras? We are cautiously positive about their introduction | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
generally. Chief Inspector Williams picked up on a single case where a | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
complaint may not have been warranted but there are thousands of | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
justified complaints each year. Anything that increases police | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
accountability is going to be a positive thing. We have seen | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
concerns expressed over the operation of the devices. Meaning | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
when they are switched on? Yes and we had a case for instance where the | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
allegation by a client is that the police engaged in a situation, | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
turned the camera on and there was an initial period where they dealt | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
with each other and it was fine. The camera was then turned off and there | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
is an alleged assault and the camera is turned back on again. And so all | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
the time officers have control over whether the camera is recording or | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
not, that is going to be open to that sorted of abuse. Do you accept | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
that? Yes, without a doubt. It's user-operated. All the time the user | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
has control of it when switchling the camera on or off, what is | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
recorded is down to the user. -- switching. The IPCC who investigate | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
offences against police showed an increase in police complaints year | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
on year for the last three years. What's also interesting to note is | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
that although 37,000 complaints were recorded, only 31,000 were | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
investigated. Of those 31,000 that were investigated, 14% were shown to | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
be upheld. So we also have to be mindful that a lot of times police | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
officers in a front-facing role do face complainants. There are serious | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
concerns over the way in which the police investigate complaints | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
leading to such low numbers of complaints being upheld. But that is | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
a separate argument. Again that was the IPCC. Is there any way around | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
the example that you gave dealing with a client where allegedly an | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
officer recorded the first bit, switched it off, there is an alleged | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
assault on the individual and a member of public and then after | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
that, the cameras go back on. Any procedures you could introduce that | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
would get around that or not? We'd like to think that in such an | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
incident there would have been two officers. Were there two? I don't | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
know, I don't believe so. If there were two officers, they should | :28:40. | :28:42. | |
have... But if there's just one officer? Then the officer is going | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
to have to explain their own actions. Any use of force undertaken | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
by a police officer has to revert back to the justification behind | :28:51. | :28:56. | |
that. I would say that if you have entered into an incident, why not | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
leave the camera running all the way through because it would only leave | :29:01. | :29:02. | |
you with difficult questions to answer later. It also comes back | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
down to policies and Police Departments. It's important there is | :29:08. | :29:10. | |
a robust policy in place. We like to help our clients get those in place. | :29:11. | :29:17. | |
Yes, so education as well of the officers, if they had a good clear | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
policy as to when they should start recording and stop, if they are | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
educated correctly, hopefully problems like that can be avoided. | :29:27. | :29:30. | |
Chief Inspector Williams, there is a serious issue about recording at | :29:31. | :29:35. | |
events like protests and keeping footage of people without their | :29:36. | :29:38. | |
knowledge isn't there? There are concerns about that. | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
Obviously this whole thing that you have been discussing involves the | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
Human Rights Act. We are very kaifshl about how we train that and | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
we give comprehensive training in relation to all of that -- careful. | :29:52. | :29:57. | |
You are right about that and people do have the right to information | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
access requests to find out if they've been captured on any | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
footage. We do have imaging departments that can blank out faces | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
of people who're not involved in an incident, so if we have kept that | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
footage for an evidential reason, anything that we display in a court | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
or anywhere else will have all the faces blanked out and it will only | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
concentrate on the subject matter, so all these things are in our | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
policy and we have discussed those at length with the IPCC, the College | :30:26. | :30:32. | |
of Policing, various other bodies and community groups. We have done | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
quite a lot of work on that to make sure we are taking everyone's views | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
into account. How much is one of these cameras? ?545, comes with the | :30:41. | :30:46. | |
licence to use the software, that's the whole package. Body-worn video | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
is not just about the camera. Is that cost effective, Che? It depends | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
on how much budgets are available to each individual forces. They have | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
been subjected to austerity measures and everyone's tightening their | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
belts. Some forces have ringfenced money for the introduction of the | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
cameras. But the camera itself is only part of the solution. The rest | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
is the back office system which is how you store the data, how you | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
access to data and a big problem with the UK policing is that IT | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
infrastructure isn't as good as it should be to be dealing with such | :31:25. | :31:26. | |
modern technology. OK. Thank you very much all of you. | :31:27. | :31:33. | |
This texter says, I'm a supervisor managing civil enforcement officers | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
for a local authority. We started using body cameras two years ago. We | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
have seen a reduction in assaults of over 50%. We also use the cameras | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
for evidence-gathering in disabled badge misuse cases and fraud. Our | :31:48. | :31:52. | |
cameras are always seen, never covert. Julie says recording by the | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
policely make the police behave and the people they are dealing with. | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
Zoe, why doesn't every force have body cameras and Paul says, as we | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
have seen in the States, they can be turned off and on and manipulated to | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
suit the needs of police officers sometimes. Who want to cover things | :32:09. | :32:13. | |

Thank you. There's been a new development in an exclusive story | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
that we brought you a couple of weeks ago, the tax credit chaos | :36:19. | :36:28. | |
caused by the US firm Banbury Road and HMRC. Chris is in Belfast. Over | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
the last few weeks you've heard from benefit claimants who said, from | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
Concentrix, employed by the government to try to cut down on | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
benefit fraud in the system, benefit payments had wrongly been cut to | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
those claimants. Another development today. After the failings | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
highlighted, HM Revenue and Customs decided that Banbury Road's | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
contract, which was due to run until May next year would not be extended | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
beyond that. Today it has emerged that 150 temporary staff at the | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
Banbury Road offices in Belfast would lose their jobs tomorrow. The | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
company now say the staff were recruited on a short-term basis and | :37:11. | :37:22. | |
had been due to finish in August, last month, the firm says they are | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
working to minimise any impact on those who are going to lose their | :37:26. | :37:27. | |
jobs. Nonetheless the Northern Ireland Finance Minister says he is | :37:28. | :37:29. | |
concerned about this and he will contact the Treasury. That's the | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
latest development. Banbury Road have said that all the way through | :37:32. | :37:34. | |
their staff have followed guidelines laid down by HM Revenue and Customs. | :37:35. | :37:39. | |

secret as to which court will do the appeals are still no clue. She will | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
be able to appeal? As far as we know, we have filed for an appeal, | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
we don't know which court will do it. | :38:44. | :38:53. | |
The last time you spoke to her? She was sentenced on Tuesday, she called | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
me and clarified she had been given five years, that was two weeks ago, | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
that was the third call. How was she? Previously she has been sad and | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
broken, this time she was angry. I took it as a good sign. She says | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
that this has been going on for months, what are you doing, the | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
government has been negotiating and Theresa May has raised this with the | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
President more than a month ago, I am held every day, it is horrendous, | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
it is more than one fifth of my daughter's life that I have been | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
away, do you understand what that is like? Your little girl is with her | :39:26. | :39:33. | |
in Iran, how is she? She is too young to understand. She cannot come | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
back, they have a passport although we have asked for it. Yesterday her | :39:37. | :39:42. | |
mother called so she was happy and was saying that she had spoken to | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
her memory. She was dancing and jumping off the sofa. -- she'd | :39:47. | :39:54. | |
spoken to her mummy. You seem calm. I go through phases and when bad | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
news happens I fight it for a couple of days and then feed it afterwards. | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
At the moment we are in the face of thinking, whatever next. Kathy Voss | :40:05. | :40:16. | |
from Amnesty, is there a chance of a deal because recently there was a | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
woman accused of doubling in feminism and she was released. She | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
was arrested in June, she was released on Monday on humanitarian | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
grounds because she was extremely sick and had actually been released | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
into a hospital. The Canadians managed to bring about her release | :40:34. | :40:39. | |
on Monday. We at Amnesty have been in contact with Richard for months, | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
working on the campaign and getting our activists to write letters. | :40:44. | :40:48. | |
Shortly after Nazanin was arrested we wrote to Boris Johnson asking him | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
to meet with the family and with Nazanin and make a public statement | :40:54. | :40:56. | |
calling for her release although we haven't had it yet. Have you had a | :40:57. | :41:02. | |
response from Mr Johnson's office? Liverpool we haven't. We know that | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
he received our request. We still waiting. What could he do, call | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
publicly for Iran to release your wife? Liverpool the government has | :41:12. | :41:18. | |
raised this case at the highest levels, we know, Theresa May spoke | :41:19. | :41:21. | |
to the president about it and David Cameron did before her, they have | :41:22. | :41:24. | |
said they know about the case and are working on it although there is | :41:25. | :41:29. | |
no public stance on calling for her release so until they do that we | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
don't know if they are making this the priority that they say they are. | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
Right. Is your thinking that your wife is being held on political | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
grounds? Honestly, yes. She was sentenced the day after the British | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
Embassy was attacked. I understand that there is a part of a round that | :41:53. | :41:55. | |
wants to make friends and apart from that wants to stop that. It is the | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
part that wants to stop that that is using her as a bargaining chip. | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
There's a reason why she was taken while relations were improving, | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
taking a mother and baby is about as provocative as possible. Why have | :42:10. | :42:17. | |
secrets charges? If it is to say, this is a political situation, we | :42:18. | :42:20. | |
can solve it through political means, I think that is exactly what | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
has happened. The statement from the Foreign Office is this. | :42:25. | :42:26. | |
"We are deeply concerned by reports that Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been | :42:27. | :42:29. | |
sentenced without confirmation of the charges made against her. | :42:30. | :42:31. | |
The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have both raised her case | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
with their counterparts in Iran and will continue to do so. | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
Minister for the Middle East, | :42:38. | :42:45. | |
Tobias Ellwood, has met the family to reassure them | :42:46. | :42:47. | |
that we will continue to do all we can. | :42:48. | :42:50. | |
That is all true. We don't know what that is. We have seen that | :42:51. | :42:57. | |
governments that intervene can secure releases, we did see some | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
prisoners released from around a couple of years ago after pressure | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
on the government so we can see that this happens. We want to see the | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
government doing absolutely everything they can to make sure | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
that she is released. Thank you, both of you. | :43:13. | :43:20. | |
Later, after their success in Rio, Welsh athletes will be feted | :43:21. | :43:22. | |
with a massive carnival party in Cardiff later - | :43:23. | :43:25. | |
we'll be speaking to four of the medallists going. | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
Now, if you take the painkiller ibuprofen, you increase the risk | :43:30. | :43:31. | |
of going into hospital with a heart problem by a fifth. | :43:32. | :43:34. | |
A huge study that looked at the use of the drug by nearly 10 million | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
people found that in the fortnight after taking the painkiller, | :43:39. | :43:53. | |
those with an average age of 77 who took it were 19% more likely | :43:54. | :43:56. | |
to be admitted to hospital with a heart | :43:57. | :43:58. | |
If taken regularly this painkiller can cause heart attack or a truck. | :43:59. | :44:06. | |
Heart failure is the leading cause of hospital admissions for those | :44:07. | :44:08. | |
over 65. With me is Helen Williams, | :44:09. | :44:10. | |
she's a Consultant Pharmacist for Cardiovascular Disease with | :44:11. | :44:12. | |
the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. So what should people watching do if | :44:13. | :44:19. | |
they take this painkiller regularly? The headlines are a bit alarming | :44:20. | :44:26. | |
today. Are they accurate? Accurate in relation to this specific study. | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
The patients were on average aged 77. So young patients buying | :44:31. | :44:42. | |
ibuprofen for a sports injury or for back pain, this isn't a problem for | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
them. We need to reassure them. But for older patients we do need to be | :44:47. | :44:52. | |
cautious. Meaning what? Most older patients are probably not buying the | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
ibuprofen they are taking for things like arthritis, they are getting it | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
from prescription from the GP who will help them to calculate the | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
benefits and the risks of the drug and give them monitoring, we know | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
these things can affect the kidneys so they need regular kidney | :45:10. | :45:11. | |
monitoring when they take these things routinely for this sort of | :45:12. | :45:18. | |
pain. Should we be able to buy this stuff over-the-counter? As I said, | :45:19. | :45:24. | |
for younger patients aged 20, 30, 40, taking these drugs for short | :45:25. | :45:34. | |
courses to treat sharp pain, they are not at risk in this way. It's | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
the older patients who tend to be frailer and have other diseases that | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
put them at risk of problems like hypertension or diabetes and maybe | :45:41. | :45:42. | |
already their kidneys are showing strain. They need to be monitored by | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
a GP and properly supported if they are undergoing this sort of therapy. | :45:47. | :45:52. | |
Broadly speaking, do we use these painkillers to regularly? You can | :45:53. | :45:56. | |
get them in the supermarket. Absolutely. These are | :45:57. | :45:59. | |
anti-inflammatories so suitable for joint or muscle pain, if you have a | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
headache take paracetamol, you don't need anti-inflammatory drugs for | :46:05. | :46:07. | |
that. It's about choosing the right drag the right type of pain. I think | :46:08. | :46:17. | |
what you mean is, if you are around 77 and using please don't | :46:18. | :46:19. | |
immediately stop. You have to go back to your GP and work it out | :46:20. | :46:22. | |
together. There will be risks but also benefits, or else he would not | :46:23. | :46:24. | |
be on it. Absolutely and people, like if | :46:25. | :46:35. | |
people have rheumatoid arthritis, they need the drugs. Are there | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
alternatives, antiinflammatories that don't increase risk of heart | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
failure? The purpose of the study was to look at all the different | :46:44. | :46:49. | |
types of nonsteroid antiinflammatory and some are much likery to cause | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
heart problems than others, so ibuprofen, that is in the lower end | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
of risk so we are already minimising risk. Also using the lowests do to | :47:01. | :47:06. | |
kill the -- dose to kill the pain and where possible minimising the | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
duration of treatment. Thank you very much. | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
We get the latest from Oxford where a teenage girl has been | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
assaulted after being grabbed off the street in Oxford | :47:19. | :47:21. | |
Celebrations will be held in Cardiff later to mark the success of Welsh | :47:22. | :47:33. | |
Incredible footage of the moment a police officer used his vehicle to | :47:34. | :47:42. | |
stop a person after he fell into a coma. The PC has received an award | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
for saving the lives of the young woman driving, her child and | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
potentially other motorists. Have a look. | :47:53. | :48:38. | |
We are hoping to talk to PC Pattison later in the programme. | :48:39. | :48:45. | |
Celebrations will be held in Cardiff later to mark the success of Welsh | :48:46. | :48:48. | |
athletes at the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic games. | :48:49. | :48:50. | |
So how does it feel to come back to your hometown with gold, | :48:51. | :48:53. | |
and what message do our athletes hope to bring to their | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
Let's talk now to four Welsh athletes who all brought back | :48:57. | :48:59. | |
Hollie Arnold, who won gold in Paralympic javelin. | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
Hollie was born without a right forearm. | :49:04. | :49:13. | |
one after winning gold in Paralympic wheelchair table tennis. | :49:14. | :49:20. | |
Hollie, your throw, an incredible world record throw of 43 metres. How | :49:21. | :49:27. | |
did you do it? ! I knew I could go out there and | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
possibly break the world record, just didn't expect to break it by | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
quite that much just because I had a shoulder injury for two months but I | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
just went out there and did it with every faith in myself. Can we just | :49:42. | :49:45. | |
see your medal because it's just below the camera. Oh, it's | :49:46. | :49:50. | |
beautiful. Very shiny. When you put that on in the morning, what do you | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
feel like? It feels heavy! But it feels really happy and I look | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
down at it and realise that this is, all my hard work, all the training, | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
sacrificing I've done and everybody else around me, yes, I guess it just | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
is probably the best jewellery any girl can wear! | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
Even better than diamonds! Even better! Rob, let's have a look at | :50:14. | :50:19. | |
yours? Beautiful. What a close-up. Love it. That final for you was so | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
tense, so emotional. Just talk us through that from your point of | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
view? Yes, it was just amazing when I realised I'd won, it was so | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
exhilarating. There was a lot of pressure and training that had gone | :50:34. | :50:39. | |
into it. I let it all out pretty much and yes, just to keep calm in | :50:40. | :50:44. | |
the last end, you know, dream come true for me really. | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
Have you come down yet or not? I think it's quite hard, to be | :50:49. | :50:51. | |
honest. There are a lot of things going on, a lot of media. For me, | :50:52. | :50:58. | |
it's my first medal of course and my second Paralympics, just enjoying it | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
at the moment and yes, just enjoying holding this and giving this a | :51:03. | :51:05. | |
rattle every day. I love that noise, I love that sound! | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
In terms of being involved in this parade, people are going to come | :51:11. | :51:14. | |
out, praise and applaud you. I suppose you want to say thank you to | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
people for supporting you as well don't you? Yeah, for sure, definite. | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
Huge support back here in Wales and I've got to thank everyone from when | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
I started playing table-tennis, the Sport Wales guys, to the gays that | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
put the tables up every day and the people that we don't see, you know, | :51:35. | :51:38. | |
the fans, thank you very much for being behind us all the way. I think | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
Victoria's joined us as well, she won silver with Katherine Grainger, | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
good morning! Hi, good morning. How are you? Good, thank you. Have you | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
come down yet, what are you thinking several weeks on? Yes, it's | :51:53. | :51:59. | |
obviously been a bit further away for us than the Paralympics but it's | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
been nice to come home, the Olympics was an amazing experience and a wa | :52:05. | :52:10. | |
great silver for Katherine and me. Coming home seeing family and | :52:11. | :52:12. | |
friends has been lovely, being able to share it with them as well. You | :52:13. | :52:18. | |
are from a small place called St Asatisfied, is that how you say it | :52:19. | :52:29. | |
-- St Asaph. When you go home and you have this medal around your | :52:30. | :52:32. | |
neck, what is the community saying to you? We live near Wrexham, I've | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
just had lots of letters of congratulations from the Mayor and | :52:40. | :52:42. | |
everything and it's been really lovely to see that my town back home | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
have been watching and they've been cheering me on as well. | :52:47. | :52:54. | |
Hollie, you were injured two months before when you turn up at the | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
parade with a gold, that's quite an astonishing achievement isn't it? | :53:00. | :53:05. | |
Yes, I guess. I wasn't going to let that small injury bother me going | :53:06. | :53:09. | |
out there, I've trained so hard, it's my third Paralympics, I wanted | :53:10. | :53:12. | |
to go out there and hopefully make it a lucky one. I had so much | :53:13. | :53:19. | |
support. Everybody helped me and also Loughborough had to go there | :53:20. | :53:25. | |
for recovery, so just everybody's effort worked and just went out | :53:26. | :53:28. | |
there and did exactly what I wanted to do. Your third Paralympics did | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
you say? No, it's my third. Third, yes. And you are still what, 22? | :53:34. | :53:40. | |
Yes. So what more can we have from you over the next few years? | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
Hopefully plenty. I'm still just 22, still a built of a young chicken, | :53:46. | :53:52. | |
but hopefully plenty more to come! What about you Victoria and Tokyo, | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
what are you thinking? Still taking time to think about it. It's a lot | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
of commitment and another four years in rowing, so I love the sport, but | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
I've got to make sure if I go back I'm doing it for absolutely the | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
right reasons but just some time to speak to a few people and think | :54:11. | :54:13. | |
about what's best and whether I want to go for another four or not. It's | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
a big decision isn't it? Yes, it is. You have to put your life on hold in | :54:18. | :54:23. | |
some ways and you sacrifice a lot to do the training it takes to become | :54:24. | :54:31. | |
an Olympian, let alone an Olympic champion. It takes a lot of | :54:32. | :54:35. | |
dedication. It's something to think about seriously, yes. | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
Rob, what about you and Tokyo? It's quite exciting, the thought of it. | :54:41. | :54:46. | |
Obviously like the guys said before, it's a big commitment, sacrifice, | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
the family has to sacrifice a fair bit as well. I'm excited for it, | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
it's in the back of my mind and there are a lot of young new tall | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
ens coming up through the ranks in GB at the moment, Tom Matthews, | :54:58. | :55:02. | |
another Welsh lad. It would be good to go there maybe do something -- | :55:03. | :55:11. | |
new talent. Tokyo will be a great amazing experience, I'm sure. | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
Thank you very much. Enjoy the parade. Hollie, enjoy it, Rob and | :55:16. | :55:20. | |
Victoria. Thank you very much. We'll get the latest from Oxford as | :55:21. | :55:37. | |
a schoolgirl was abducted and sexually assaulted on her way to | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
school. Police are warning that school children should walk together | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
in groups. Coming up 2010 o'clock. The news and | :55:46. | :55:48. | |
sport in a minute but first the weather with Matt. What's happening? | :55:49. | :55:54. | |
Good morning. The nights are starting to draw in. Some may be | :55:55. | :55:59. | |
thinking of heading somewhere that bit warmer and sunnier, the southern | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
hemisphere for example, Australia. If we could afford it, we'd all love | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
to two to Australia, blimey! This whole mass of cloud looks | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
picturesque here, but this is a storm with a punch. One of the | :56:14. | :56:16. | |
deepest storm systems they have had in Australia for decades and it's | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
had massive impacts, as well as impacts to travel, there's been | :56:22. | :56:24. | |
flooding around, damage, destruction. The entire state of | :56:25. | :56:29. | |
south Australia, including the capital Adelaide were without power | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
yesterday morning. These are big storms in Yes and it's not over yet | :56:34. | :56:42. | |
with a few days to go. Winds up to 60-70mph, 120mm worth of rain that, | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
will push on to Tasmania and impact New South Wales as well. Puts into | :56:47. | :56:51. | |
perspective our winds last night. We have had similar wind strengths this | :56:52. | :56:55. | |
morning but perhaps not the impact they've had. | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
But yes, Australia looking down the eye of a spring storm at the moment. | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
For us, it's an autumn storm across the UK at present. | :57:04. | :57:11. | |
It's been producing gloomy skies. It's the wind strength that has been | :57:12. | :57:17. | |
the main concern. Caithness and Sutherland and Orkney, this is where | :57:18. | :57:22. | |
the wind strength is peaking. Elsewhere over Scotland, winds gust | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
50, 60mph, which has been impacting the ferries and the bridges as well. | :57:29. | :57:33. | |
Persistent across the Highlands at the moment. | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
Better chance of dry weather to the east of Scotland. Winds picking up | :57:39. | :57:41. | |
in Northern Ireland and northern England, touching gale force at | :57:42. | :57:47. | |
times throughout the day. Some showers across the north, into | :57:48. | :57:51. | |
Wales, and a good part of England and Wales dry now with sunshine. | :57:52. | :57:56. | |
Lots of cloud through the Midlands now clearing. Outbreaks of rain into | :57:57. | :57:59. | |
the afternoon in parts of East Anglia and the south-east. As that | :58:00. | :58:03. | |
pushes away, we introduce the fresher air. | :58:04. | :58:08. | |
It's going to feel fresh out there. A blustery afternoon, lots of | :58:09. | :58:14. | |
sunshine for England and Wales. More showers for Northern Ireland. Plenty | :58:15. | :58:19. | |
for western Scotland here too. The good news is, the winds ease | :58:20. | :58:22. | |
later in the day and tonight there'll be enough of a breeze | :58:23. | :58:26. | |
around to push the showers into the west. Away from that, in clearer | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
skies, a chilly night. Eastern areas down to single figures in rural | :58:32. | :58:34. | |
parts. Northern Scotland could get to around two or three degrees. But | :58:35. | :58:39. | |
you may get to see the Northern Lights once again, like recent | :58:40. | :58:42. | |
nights. Friday morning, a fresher start compared with today. Sunshine | :58:43. | :58:46. | |
around and it will be one of those days, shower clouds pushing in from | :58:47. | :58:49. | |
the west. You may get lucky and avoid them all together, you may see | :58:50. | :58:52. | |
one or two showers throughout the day, but the showers clouds will be | :58:53. | :58:55. | |
there, drier weather in-between them. | :58:56. | :59:01. | |
We continue with the cool theme into the weekend. | :59:02. | :59:06. | |
The start of the weekend, low pressure is the name of the game | :59:07. | :59:10. | |
particularly for England and Wales. Widespread rain to start the day. | :59:11. | :59:14. | |
Heavy bursts mixed in. Things turn drier and brighter for the west | :59:15. | :59:18. | |
later on. Further north, lighter winds and for | :59:19. | :59:20. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland some will get away with a largely dry | :59:21. | :59:24. | |
day. A general cool theme for the weekend. Wettest on Saturday, | :59:25. | :59:28. | |
sunniest on Sunday and indeed most of us will see dry weather on | :59:29. | :59:32. | |
Sunday. Breezy to the East Coast of England with a few showers, then | :59:33. | :59:37. | |
cloudy and windy in the west later. Enjoy your day. | :59:38. | :59:52. | |
Hello it's Thursay, it's 10am I'm Victoria Derbyshire, | :59:53. | :59:54. | |
Our top story - a teenage girl is grabbed off a busy street | :59:55. | :59:58. | |
The girl was sexually assaulted before raising the alarm - | :59:59. | :00:02. | |
school children in the area are warned to stay | :00:03. | :00:04. | |
From Iraq, the latest video diary from our aid worker as she travels | :00:05. | :00:13. | |
into areas only recently abandoned by brutal IS militants. | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
From their faces, we can see that it doesn't matter to them how long it | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
will take as long as, at the end of the day, they will reach home. And | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
as Barnsley suspend the assistant manager over corruption allegations | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
will speak to the man who yesterday became the head of the Association | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
of football agents and we will be asking him why we need them at all. | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
It's time to the latest news with Ben. Thank you, Victoria. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Police in Oxford are appealing for witnesses after a teenage girl | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
was abducted while walking to school and sexually assaulted. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Detectives say the girl was wearing school uniform | :01:03. | :01:03. | |
and was snatched from a busy street by two white | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
She was found at midday knocking on doors of nearby houses and is now | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
The inquiry into child sexual abuse in England and Wales has been thrown | :01:11. | :01:21. | |
into fresh chaos with the suspension of its most senior lawyer. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
A spokeswoman said officials had recently become very | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
concerned about aspects of Ben Emmerson's leadership. | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
The inquiry was set up more than two years ago, but has been hit | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
by delays and the resignation of three chairwomen. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Let's talk to our correspondent Tom Symonds who's at the inquiry | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
Another problem for this inquiry. Absolutely, Ben. Ben Emmerson is an | :01:40. | :01:58. | |
important person in this inquiry, one of the senior figures with it | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
from the beginning, seen as a driving force pushing the inquiry | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
through although incredibly it has lost three previous chairs and is on | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
its fourth, Professor Alexis Jay. The inquiry has, I am told, received | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
complaints about him. There is no more detailed than that, more than | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
one complaint. An investigation has begun. The inquiry also took time to | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
dismiss suggestions in the press in the last few days that Ben Emmerson | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
had been on the point of resigning because of his concerns about the | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
way in which the inquiry is going, the size of it and the fact that | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
there was a social worker at the head of it rather than a judge or a | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
senior lawyer. So the inquiry is saying that they believe he did not | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
raise those concerns and we understand there were discussions | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
about his position yesterday, given this investigation going on. All of | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
which throws the investigation into, if not a crisis, of the feeling of | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
crisis. I've spoken this morning to several groups involved in | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
representing survivors of child abuse, some say they will pull out | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
all together, others say they are deeply frustrated about what is | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
going on. This inquiry relies on the trust of those involved and they | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
feel they are not getting it at the moment. Tom, thank you. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
The Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, has told the BBC it | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
will be impossible for Brexit negotiations to result in a deal | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
that gives British people more rights than others outside | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
Mr Renzi said he thought that the referendum | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
result was a bad decision, but he was ready to work | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
with Theresa May to ensure the EU and Britain remained "best | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Complaints against the police have fallen by up to 90% in forces | :03:42. | :03:51. | |
A study involving 2,000 officers in England, Northern Ireland | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
and the United States found that the cameras had a big impact | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
on the behaviour of officers, and the people they deal with. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
The findings are being published in the journal | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Che Donald from the Police Federation told this programme that | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
body worn cameras shouldn't be considered a magic bullet | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
The cameras were on all the time, and most definitely switched on | :04:11. | :04:22. | |
before they arrived at an incident. The study also went on to show that | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
if it was switched on halfway to the incident it did change the playing | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
field somewhat. So although it is fantastic and the numbers are great, | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
it is not over all the panacea to resolving police complaints and I | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
think the study refers to that as well. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
There's been a new development in one of the stories we've been | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
following on this programme, the tax credit chaos caused by US firm | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Now the BBC understands that 150 temporary staff | :04:48. | :04:57. | |
at the Belfast office of Concentrix are to be let go tomorrow. | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
The company said the workers involved had been due | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
to finish last month and were recruited | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
The move is related to the decision by HMRC not to renew a call-handling | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News, more at 10.30. | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
Thank you, thanks to David who said that police body cameras were | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
brilliant innovation but he said he could understand reservations about | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
an officer having too much control over the camera, could it not be | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
operated so that it comes on when the sound level is raised to a level | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
above normal speech? When travelling in the car and using please radio it | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
wouldn't need to come on but when voices are raised, it could mean | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
things get heated. Mamadou Sakho C welcomes the cameras, hopes they | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
will bring them into police stations, he has been wrongly | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
accused of criminal damage by police officers who used nothing more than | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
intimidation. Do get in touch with us | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
throughout the morning - use the hashtag Victoria Live | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
and if you text, you will be charged Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is the | :06:03. | :06:13. | |
latest manager named in the sting into football corruption, the QPR | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
manager was filmed appearing to negotiate a ?55,000 deal to act as | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
ambassador to a sports company who then proposed the sale of players to | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
his club. The club say they will launch a full investigation. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Barnsley assistant manager Tommy Wright has been suspended by the | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
club after publicly accepting a ?5,000 bank to assist in the buying | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
and selling of players. Both deny any wrongdoing. More on this story | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
later in the programme. What a match last night between Celtic and | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Manchester City in the Champions League. A six goal thriller. It | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
finished 3-3. This was after Mousa Dembele had given Celtic the lead. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
And he got his second and Celtic's third in the second half. Again City | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
came back to level the match at 3-3, this was the equaliser after the | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
shot from Aguero came off the keeper. Manager Pep Guardiola was on | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
a ten match winning run, his best ever start in his managerial career. | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
Arsenal also played last night, straightforward 2-0 win over Basle | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
at the Emirates Stadium, Theo Walcott scored both goals. They | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
finished joint top of the group along with Paris St Germain. After | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
the match Arsene Wenger spoke about speculation linking him with the | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
England manager's job, no vacant after Sam Allardyce left on Monday. | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
This is what Arsene Wenger said. My priority has always been this club | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
and until the end of this season, I am here. I am completely focused on | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
that. Do you know the words of the English national anthem? Yes! I | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
know! You never know! That could come in handy. Another manager | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
linked to the vacant England position is Eddie Howe of | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
Bournemouth. He has described it as the ultimate job and added that he | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
is very much committed to his club at the moment. Before the Ryder Cup | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
begins tomorrow the brother of Danny Willett, one of the European cup | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
team, has come out with some astonishing criticism of American | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
golf fans, calling them a bunch of imbecile is. He was writing in an | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
article for a golf magazine. This is what he said. He said that Europe | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
needed to silence the pudgy, basement dwelling the obnoxious | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives and | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
resentful children. As you can imagine, Danny Willett has | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
apologised for these comments by his brother. I'd just like to apologise | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
to everyone involved, it is not the thoughts of myself, of the team, or | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
of Captain Darren Clarke. I said to Peter that I was disappointed in | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
what was said and written about the American fans. I went to see Davis | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
and we had a chat about it all. He took it very well. I think he has | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
drawn a line under it, for himself, and for the team. I think it will | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
certainly adds spice between the teams when play begins tomorrow. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Brothers, who needs them! Thank you, John. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
For several months now, an aid worker in Iraq has been | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
recording a video diary for you of what life | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
is like for families who've been left homeless by the conflict | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
between fighters from the so-called Islamic State | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
Her footage certainly puts our own challenges into perspective. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
In her latest video diary, Dr Bernadita Gaspar | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
of the International Medical Corp says this. | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
"In the midst of the most difficult times, you see | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
the goodness of humanity", and then she cries. | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
Her footage shows family homes destroyed by fighting, | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
villages raised to the ground, and images of burning oil fields | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
with dark smoke filling the usually blue sky. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
You'll see Dr Gaspar travelling with her team into areas that have | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
been newly liberated from IS control. | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
After nine months of being in Iraq, I would think that I would | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
understand more and know more about what is happening. | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
But the opposite seems to be the case. | :10:34. | :11:28. | |
This is the grab bag in here, so it is full of water in there. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
The team is preparing to go for an assessment to Tinah village. | :11:33. | :11:45. | |
This village is south-west of Erbil, where we have our base office. | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
This village has been one of the areas that has been liberated | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
They're saying about 60 families arrived in Tinah. | :11:55. | :12:03. | |
There's 40 or 50 families have gone to Debaga. | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
You see there's a lot of destroyed buildings and destroyed houses. | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
One minute your house is there, the next minute your house is gone. | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
I mean, it's lucky if it's just a house, but then people will tell | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
us that there would be family members who would be, | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
who are hurt and worse, who are killed as well. | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
Oh, my goodness, just look at their faces! | :12:46. | :13:08. | |
It's September 24th and it's a very happy day for most of the displaced | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
families that have been living in this camp for more | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
than two months now, because today they've managed | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
to arrange transportation to go back to their villages | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
We can see a long line of trucks in the background. | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
These are families that will be going back home today. | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
It seems that, from their faces, we can see that it doesn't | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
Today, at last, they know that, at the end of the day, | :13:45. | :13:59. | |
This is a family of seven, five boys, from 12 years | :14:00. | :14:14. | |
TRANSLATION: Especially, like, the winter is coming | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
How about pregnant women, do you see pregnant women, | :14:25. | :15:45. | |
In the last few days, I've met a lot of interesting people. | :15:46. | :16:19. | |
I've come to know persons that have stories to tell, and also | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
discovered that, in the midst of the most difficult times, | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
Experts believe the next flashpoint in Iraq is Mosul, | :16:32. | :16:53. | |
it's still under the control of IS militants and just yesterday | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
the USA and Iraqi government agreed a plan to send an extra 600 | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
American soldiers to Iraq to try to help retake Mosul. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Try and picture yourselves living in a city | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
controlled by brutal IS, knowing that that a some point | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
there's going to be a battle to try to liberate it? | :17:13. | :17:28. | |
Let me introduce you to DR Ahmed Sabani who is from Mosul | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Tell us about Mosul, it was a lovely city to grow up in? It was is second | :17:33. | :18:00. | |
largest city after Baghdad and Iraq, so it's a very big, beautiful city | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
in the North of Iraq. Life was so normal inside the city before 2014. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
You can't separate Mosul from other parts of Iraq. There were some | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
security situations, bad situations, but, you know, it was normal, you | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
know, people are living their normal life. You can't separate from other | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
parts of Mosul, but after 2014, everything is changed. It's been | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
like a traumatic change in Mosul because Isis suddenly took oaf the | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
city -- over the city and they were like a big seagull on the city and | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
people are like hostages, you know. And for your family who're there, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
who was there in Mosul? All of my family member. Parents? Brother, | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
sisters, cousins, I have a lot of cousins. All of them, they are like | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
hostages in the city now. Isis has started to, from the first they | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
started to force people to follow the Shari'a rules and make life very | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
hard and they have tough punishment for everybody who doesn't follow | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
their Shari'a rule. Can you give us an example of things that your | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
relatives have to do now because IS are in control that they didn't have | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
to do before or things they are not allowed to do any more? Yes, to be | :19:23. | :19:32. | |
honest, there are many challenges. In terms of the situation, it's very | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
bad because the vast majority of people in Mosul are government | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
employees. It's impossible to establish any new building within | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
the city. It's hard to run an existing business in there. An | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
example of that, men are forced to make like a beard to follow Shari'a | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
and women must cover their faces. Anybody doesn't follow these things | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
will be punished by Isis. For your relatives, similar? Similar | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
thing, yes, horrible stories that we hear about daily. We have extended | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
family and friends there, colleagues, many fled the city, went | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
to other parts of Iraq or actually fled the country. It's a very | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
horrible situation economically financially, socially, so people | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
can't live there because of the security situation, they leave their | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
houses, they can't work. I'm trying to imagine getting into their shoes, | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
if you like, you are living under IS, you don't want to, there is a | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
big battle coming down the road at some point, you want to be liberated | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
but the fear of the violence that's going to be perpetrated... It's | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
definitely enormous. Nobody knows what the results of the military | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
offensive will be, hopefully with the least civil casualties. | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
With your defence and security expertise, tell us what we can | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
expect when Iraqi government soldiers turn up and start fighting? | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
Mosul has been under occupation for over two years now, so that means | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
they have had time to prepare, Isis have, building booby traps, setting | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
up defensive positions in hospitals, schools, mosques, forcing coalition | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
forces and Iraqi forces deciding whether to target those places or | :21:27. | :21:38. | |
not. In other important places, small towns, things have been | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
happening, but Mosul is a big place. Two million people? There are now | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
1.5 people. Still a lot of people. House-to-house fighting that, even | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
with success, will cause enormous destruck on of what was a fine, | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
flourishing city -- enormous destruction. The other challenge is, | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
there are multiple different groups fighting to take it back. There are | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Shia militias commanded by Iran, Kurdish forces who have their own | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
objectives and ambitions to rule over parts of Mosul and American | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
forces over 5,000 of them now who're directly flying Apache attacked | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
helicopters around Mosul. You can imagine how complex an operation is | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
with that many forces. Which leads us to the looming humanitarian | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
situation there which is going to be serious? Exactly. We don't know | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
exactly how this offensive is going to go, but we know it will be a | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
disaster for children and families still trapped. That's 1.5 million | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
people. Half of them are children. They are currently trapped because | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
the checkpoints are all around Mosul, there are landmines, so they | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
face a terrible decision, whether to stay there, be caught in the | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
crossfire, to be used as a human shield or to take the journey which | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
is going to be very risky. Do you want your relatives to get out or | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
stay? It's quite a hard decision, you know. People inside the city | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
left with a very hard and difficult options. Unbelievable. People who're | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
trying to flee the city will be expected to be at extreme risk. But | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
what do you want your parents, your brother, your sister, your cousins | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
to do? There is a trade-off, you know. You can escape life there but | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
you could find yourself in the worst case scenario in a conflict, you | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
could be a war victim. What do you want your relatives to do? Well, I | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
want the best for them. It's nearly impossible to leave the city, but I | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
think if there are opportunities to leave, why not, they should I think | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
use it. It's better to leave. Interesting dimension of sectarian | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
politics in Mosul than Iraq, historically there's been a small | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
Sunni majority in Mosul. The vast majority are Sunnis. But of course, | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
one of the key forces on the ground that's most effective will most | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
no-holds barred in the way it fights are the Shia militias, many under | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
control of the state, some under the control of Iran. That creates | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
inevitable tensions when a Shia majority force may take over or | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
detain lots of Sunni individuals with a prior history of sectarian | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
tensions in some of these areas. So there are fears above the | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
consequences -- about the consequences of that as well. You | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
have just come back from Iraq, what did you see there in terms of the | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
children you were trying to help? So people are already being displaced | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
from Mosul and from areas that have already been taken. I spoke to | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
people who had made a journey from Mosul and to a mother in particular | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
who was fleeing with her three children, including a four-month-old | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
baby and she was Dodging Bullets while trying to leave. She reached | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
safety, but there's also this worry for those who are able to leave | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
afterwards on whether we'll be able to respond to the humanitarian | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
needs. We estimate this is going to be the biggest humanitarian crisis | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
by the end of this year. Thank you all of you, very much, for | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
coming on the programme. Thank you, thank you, nice to see you, thank | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
you. Jeremy Corbyn urged his party to end | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
what he called the trench warfare. Later, we'll speak to a Labour | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
member who was subject to abuse when she was on Labour's ruling governing | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
body. The latest round of corrpuption | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
allegations in football in a series of stings by the Daily Telegraph has | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
resulted in Barnsley football club He was filmed by undercover | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
reporters allegedly accepting five thousand pounds for agreeing to help | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
fake businessmen who wanted The FA, the Premier League | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
and the English Football League have issued a joint statement | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
on in response to a series of allegations by the | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
Daily Telegraph. Mike Miller is the new | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
Independent Chairman of the Association of Football | :26:16. | :26:36. | |
Agents. He only started in the | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
role this yesterday. Congratulations, you only took up | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
the role yesterday. Why do we need agents? They play an important role, | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
not just in the football industry but in many industries. You use an | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
agent to negotiate your deals, footballers want to concentrate on | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
playing football, being the best possible player they can be, they | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
don't have the time or the skills necessarily to negotiate, to | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
understand rules and regulations, to talk to sponsors, to be up-to-date | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
with the latest things. Football's got loads of time -- footballers. | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
They... They've got loads of time? They spend a lot of time in the gym, | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
they spend time thinking about the game. They don't spend time thinking | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
about the game! The point is, they need people like agents to help them | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
out so they can get the best possible deal. We don't want a | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
return to the good old days when a footballer would walk in, the | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
manager would say, here's two and six, a contract for another year, | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
thank you very much and walk away. They deserve to be paid properly as | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
the entertainers that they are. Sure, but what is allegedly | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
happening according to the Daily Telegraph in a small minority of | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
cases is that managers and agents are doing deals together and that is | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
potentially corrupt? In every industry, walk of life, there are | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
good people and bad people. There are people who try and bend the | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
rules, there are people who try to break the rules. What the | :28:02. | :28:04. | |
Association of football agents are saying is, we need to have proper | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
regulation within the game to make sure that those temptations aren't | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
put in people's way. Where will that regulation come from, which | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
organisation? Originally Fifa regulated this aspect of the game. A | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
few years ago they decided to deregulate it but the agents thought | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
was a huge mistake. So it has to involve everyone because it's an | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
international game, has to involve Fifa, UEFA and the Football | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
Association. Or agents could just not be corrupt, they could do it | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
without regulations, they are groundups? In every walk of life, | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
you need regulation. We have seen what's happened in the City and | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
other activities. You need proper regulation. Also it's a question of | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
building and maintaining trust. Again, if n the old days, to become | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
an agent, you had to pass a test, have insurance, prove that you were | :28:57. | :28:59. | |
worthy and professional. Anyone who wants to use an agent wants to know | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
that they'll represent them properly and that they have the skills to be | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
able to do so. If you have proper regulation, proper code of conduct, | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
you have trust and you know that you can choose from among aple of people | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
who know what they are doing and can help you. | :29:16. | :29:18. | |
There are many, many, many professional agents who do a really | :29:19. | :29:26. | |
good job for their clients. Many behave impeccably, but I wonder, do | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
you think it's possible for business of football to become more | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
transparent which would also potentially lead to more | :29:35. | :29:36. | |
accountability? We do think it is. Not just possible | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
but also necessary. Agents want to do the best for their | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
clients. They also want to play on a level playing field. They don't want | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
other people to get work at their expense by doing things which are | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
illegal or immoral which they would not do themselves. So regulation | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
actually helps everyone. Transparency is very important. | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
And in terms of some of the kind of staggering fees that some agents | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
require for high-profile transfers, how do you justify that? Agents do a | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
lot of good work, it takes a long time to become a proficient agent. | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
You have to make sure you are up to speed on regulations, rules, be a | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
good negotiator, I think agents get what they deserve in terms of they | :30:24. | :30:26. | |
should be paid for doing their work just like anyone else. | :30:27. | :30:27. | |
Thank you very much. Thank you, you only began the job | :30:28. | :30:46. | |
yesterday! Thank you. Now the latest news with Ben. | :30:47. | :30:48. | |
Police in Oxford are appealing for witnesses after a teenage girl | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
was abducted while walking to school and sexually assaulted. | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
Detectives say the girl was wearing school uniform and was snatched | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
from a busy street by two white men in a silver car. | :30:58. | :30:59. | |

The inquiry into child sexual abuse in England and Wales has been thrown | :31:04. | :31:11. | |
into fresh chaos with the suspension of its most senior lawyer. | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
A spokeswoman said officials had recently become very concerned | :31:15. | :31:16. | |
about aspects of Ben Emmerson's leadership. | :31:17. | :31:17. | |

Mr Renzi said he thought that the referendum | :31:50. | :31:54. | |

A study involving 2,000 officers in England, Northern Ireland | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
and the United States found that the cameras had a big impact | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
on the behaviour of officers, and the people they deal with. | :32:11. | :32:12. | |
The findings are being published in the journal | :32:13. | :32:14. | |
One officer told this programme the cameras are changing the way | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
It is not just about the behaviour of officers but about the behaviour | :32:19. | :32:28. | |
of suspects dealt with because they will change their behaviour when | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
they know they are on camera. It's about reduced complaints because | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
people want make malicious complaints any more and we do get a | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
lot of those but it is also about early resolution of people who make | :32:39. | :32:41. | |
genuine complaint because it is right that that should not be | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
dragged out and that take any longer than it needs to take and we can get | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
that resolution quickly with body worn cameras. This programme wrote a | :32:50. | :32:56. | |

are to be let go tomorrow. The company said the workers | :33:06. | :33:07. | |
involved had been due to finish last month and were recruited | :33:08. | :33:10. | |

More details on the abduction of the Oxford schoolgirl yesterday, we will | :35:13. | :35:19. | |
speak to Elizabeth Wade who is better councillor in the area where | :35:20. | :35:26. | |
it happened, good morning, how has the community reacted? And is a | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
close community and we don't have much crime. This is the last thing | :35:31. | :35:37. | |
we would have expected. The community will be concerned about | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
this girl and other people in the community, there are a lot of | :35:42. | :35:44. | |
schools, primary schools and two secondary schools and throughout the | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
day children are coming and going and it's always been a comfortable | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
place to be. Now we have every parent's nightmare and every child's | :35:54. | :35:57. | |
nightmare. I think it's very shocking. This happened in broad | :35:58. | :36:03. | |
daylight at half past eight in the morning. I am told it is a really | :36:04. | :36:09. | |
busy area as well. Incredibly busy, a major crossing between two bits of | :36:10. | :36:14. | |
the time, traffic queues, people the time, traffic queues, people | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
complain about the traffic all the time, children are around all the | :36:20. | :36:22. | |
time, it should have been a completely safe place for this go to | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
be. It does make one realise that one cannot be careful enough and | :36:29. | :36:32. | |
that children should go around at least in twos and threes. They | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
should not be alone until whoever perpetrated this terrible thing has | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
been caught. I know that the police are working very hard on this this | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
morning. Hopefully, they will have success later in the day. | :36:47. | :36:48. | |
This schoolgirl was abducted and sexually assaulted at 838 in this | :36:49. | :37:14. | |
area of Oxford, she was found at midday knocking on nearby doors of | :37:15. | :37:20. | |

Jeremy Corbyn has ended his party's conference in Liverpool by calling | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
on Labour MPs to "end the trench warfare" and get behind | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
He announced plans for a new fund to help areas with a lot | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
of immigration, asking business to help pay for education | :37:33. | :37:34. | |
through higher taxes, and promised to lift borrowing | :37:35. | :37:36. | |
restrictions on councils to let them build more homes. | :37:37. | :37:38. | |
He also said the party should prepare for a general election, | :37:39. | :37:41. | |
which could happen as early as next year. | :37:42. | :37:49. | |
Our job is now two win over the unconvinced of our fission. Only | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
that we can we secure the Labour government we need. Let's be frank, | :37:57. | :38:02. | |
no one will be convinced of a vision promoted by a divided party. We all | :38:03. | :38:08. | |
agree on that. So I ask each and every one of you to accept the | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
decision of the members, and the trench warfare, and work together to | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
take on the Tories! - and the trench warfare. | :38:20. | :38:33. | |
And we can speak now to a Labour member who was very much | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
on the receiving end of abuse from party membes over the summer. | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
Johanna Baxter was a member of Labour's ruling NEC. | :38:40. | :38:41. | |
She's since lost her seat on that powerful committee. | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
This is Johanna talking to the BBC in July. | :38:44. | :38:45. | |
A number of us and a number of my colleagues in that room had been | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
subject to bullying and intimidation prior to the meeting. Certain groups | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
within the party published my personal contact details online. | :38:55. | :39:05. | |
One of my colleagues had recently had her stalker sectioned, she was | :39:06. | :39:11. | |
in tears and begged the leader for a secret ballot to protect her and | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
other colleagues who had received intimidating behaviour and Boeing. | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
The thing that upset me about that meeting was that the Labour Party | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
leader voted against a proposal to have a secret ballot. Let's speak to | :39:24. | :39:29. | |
Johanna Baxter now. Your first interview since leaving the NEC, the | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
ruling governing body. I know that you are a little nervous about | :39:35. | :39:43. | |
speaking now because you think it might lead to another torrent of | :39:44. | :39:45. | |
abuse which have already experienced and you don't want to again. | :39:46. | :39:48. | |
Absolutely. During that time on the national executive committee, until | :39:49. | :39:50. | |
that interview I had never spoken to the press. I only did because I felt | :39:51. | :39:54. | |
something needed to be said for change to be affected. That seemed | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
to perpetrate the abuse that was happening. So it intensified after | :40:01. | :40:07. | |
that, and I don't think any of that is helpful for the party. You will | :40:08. | :40:13. | |
have heard Jeremy Corbyn as everyone else did insist yesterday but this | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
kind of intimidation and abuse is absolutely not acceptable. I have | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
heard him say that so many times yet it seems to me that it still goes | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
on. That's right, Jeremy has always condemned abuse. I respect that from | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
him. The problem is that much of it is done in his name. It is all very | :40:31. | :40:43. | |
well for him to say the words, that he condemns abuse, but he has to be | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
seen tackling it, clamping down on it. Does that mean sanctions for | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
people who get involved in that kind of abuse? Absolutely, we have | :40:51. | :40:52. | |
policies within the party about the conduct of members and how they | :40:53. | :40:54. | |
should treat each other. Jeremy needs to be seen to enforce that. | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
Also there is a responsibility on him as leader to say, that is not | :41:00. | :41:04. | |
done in my name, and to call some of the worst of it out, when it | :41:05. | :41:11. | |
happens, when it is seen. What about sanctions, are you talking about | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
being banned from the party? The party has a number of types of | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
sanctions, disciplinary procedures. Do you know of anyone who has been | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
through those disciplinary procedures for bullying and | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
intimidation? In the recent leadership election one of those was | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
a bad saying that there should be no abuse within the leadership contest | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
so anyone found to be particularly abusive to other party members or | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
representatives, would have been dealt with through the processes | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
that were in place to deal with the leadership election. So some members | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
would not have had a vote in the leadership election because of that | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
conduct. Is a practical things are being done? That Haddin process | :41:54. | :42:03. | |
itself lead to a huge amount of abuse being inflicted on the people | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
involved in it. I think the problem is that Jeremy himself needs to show | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
leadership on that issue. Jeremy has a huge mandate to lead, and people | :42:14. | :42:22. | |
need to respect that, as I do. But his leadership should not be | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
unquestioning. I have never been an critical of any leader within the | :42:28. | :42:38. | |
party. -- Shashank. Where there are concerns, they should be heard. So | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
Jeremy has absolutely condemned abuse yet he see needs to be seen to | :42:43. | :42:50. | |
be taking action, not just words. Let's look at the speech, some of | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
the things mentioned sound like they should be in the next Labour | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
manifesto, whenever that is. Will it be enough to attract those who have | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
gone to Ukip from Labour, those who have voted Conservative since the | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
last time they voted Labour? Enough to attract the wider electorate? | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
Jeremy Purdy us on an election footing yesterday which I think is | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
probably right because I think Theresa may will hold a general | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
election earlier than 2020 Dodge Jeremy put us on an election | :43:23. | :43:27. | |
footing. If we are on an election footing we must begin the backing of | :43:28. | :43:37. | |
a lot of party members but it is not a detailed manifesto. We must find a | :43:38. | :43:44. | |
way of compiling that manifesto and we have a process in the party to do | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
that which is through the National policy Forum. One thing that | :43:49. | :43:51. | |
concerns me is that the national policy Forum hasn't met in the last | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
12 months at all. So I think it's incumbent on the leadership to | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
engage with the democratic process that we have in place in the party | :44:00. | :44:03. | |
to engage members in constructing the manifesto put to the nation. | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
Some of the ideas mentioned yesterday, are they appealing enough | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
to the numbers of voters that Labour will need if they want to win the | :44:12. | :44:17. | |
next general election? We must put flesh on the bones. It is all very | :44:18. | :44:22. | |
well for us to say that we will build more council homes, which I do | :44:23. | :44:26. | |
support but we must explain where the money is coming from all these | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
things. One question we had at the last election was about economic | :44:31. | :44:34. | |
competence so we need to demonstrate that we understand that concern and | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
we have a fully funded manifesto to present to the public. Thank you | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
very much a coming on the programme, Johanna Baxter. | :44:44. | :44:54. | |
Let me bring you this breaking news, it is from our health correspondent | :44:55. | :45:02. | |
Hugh Pym, it appears that young women when it comes to mental health | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
conditions have become a key high risk group, the gender gap has | :45:07. | :45:14. | |
widened, the proportion of 16-24 -year-old women reporting these | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
problems is up to 26% in 2014. Experts note that the growth has | :45:21. | :45:24. | |
coincided with the growth in social media usage although they are not | :45:25. | :45:29. | |
saying this is the course. Women between 16 and 24 reporting mental | :45:30. | :45:34. | |
health disorders, the number has risen by 5% in the last seven years. | :45:35. | :45:38. | |
Coming up we will talk to the boss of a police officer who used his | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
vehicle to save a female motorist and her baby after she went into a | :45:43. | :45:49. | |
diabetic, on the M1. That footage is absolutely astonishing, you can see | :45:50. | :45:52. | |
at their -- she went into a diabetic coma. | :45:53. | :45:56. | |
A fiasco - that's how the inquiry into child sex abuse in England | :45:57. | :45:59. | |
and Wales has been described after it's most senior lawyer | :46:00. | :46:02. | |
It's the biggest public inquiry in British history, set up two years | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
ago by Theresa May and has already cost more than ?20 million. | :46:07. | :46:09. | |
And the latest turn, which sees Ben Emmerson QC | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
temporarily removed from his post has raised questions | :46:13. | :46:19. | |
A spokesperson for Alexis Jay, the inquiry's fourth chairwoman says | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
the suspension comes after concerns about "aspects of Mr Emmerson's | :46:25. | :46:27. | |
Lord MacDonald, former director of public prosecutions says | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
the inquiry is now "careering out of control". | :46:34. | :46:35. | |
It's the latest in a line of controversies involving | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
Baroness Butler-Sloss was appointed as chairwoman of the inquiry the day | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
after it was announced, but stood down a week later. | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
Dame Fiona Woolf succeeded her, but resigned after less | :46:49. | :46:51. | |
They had both been criticised for being too close | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
Then Justice Lowell Goddard took over the role in February 2015, | :46:57. | :47:03. | |
In her statement, the New Zealand judge said the legacy of failure had | :47:04. | :47:10. | |
Professor Alexis Jay, who reported on child sexual | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
exploitation in Rotherham, is the current chair. | :47:16. | :47:18. | |
It was hoped that her appointment would bring some | :47:19. | :47:21. | |
Now, Ben Emmerson QC, who has served as counsel | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
to the panel since October 2014, has been suspended from his role. | :47:27. | :47:29. | |
Yesterday the inquiry said they would investigate concerns over | :47:30. | :47:32. | |
Mr Emmerson said he was "unable" to comment at this time. | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
So what does this mean for the future of the Inquiry; let's | :47:38. | :47:45. | |
talk to Peter Saunders, Member of the Victims | :47:46. | :47:47. | |
and Survivors' Consultative Panel and founder of NAPAC, | :47:48. | :47:50. | |
The National Association for People Abused in Childhood. | :47:51. | :47:53. | |
we also have Micael Pether, Partner at BLM Law who specialises | :47:54. | :47:58. | |
in child sexual abuse claims and in Edinburgh we're joined | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
by Ian McFayden, Campaigner and survivor of abuse, | :48:04. | :48:05. | |
he's applying to be a core participant on the inquiry. | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
Welcome all of you. Let's start with you Peter, if I may. What do you | :48:12. | :48:18. | |
make of this latest development? Good morning, Victoria. The inquiry | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
is, as your introduction says, the biggest inquiry in British history. | :48:24. | :48:30. | |
I would argue it's probably in a sense the most toxic of issues to be | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
examined, you know. We are talking about the abuse on an industrial | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
scale of children over generations. Huge credit to Theresa May for | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
setting up the inquiry and for amber Rudd to continue to. Does it matter | :48:46. | :48:54. | |
if a QC has been suspended? I don't agree with Lord McDonald that it's | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
descending into fiasco. I think the toxicity of the content maybe is | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
something that's contributing to the difficulties that nobody's going to | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
deny. But I see a large group of people who're very committed and | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
working very, very hard to make this all work. I'm not here to speak on | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
behalf of the inquiry, I'm not even here to speak as a member of the | :49:18. | :49:25. | |
VSCP... What is that, sorry? The Victims and Consultative Panel, | :49:26. | :49:28. | |
boldly appointed to advise the work and have been doing a sterling job. | :49:29. | :49:35. | |
I'm here as the founder of NAPAC and a Suhr rival who wants the truth to | :49:36. | :49:41. | |
be told. This is our best bet yet -- survivor. It's the nature of the | :49:42. | :49:48. | |
inquiry, I'm afraid. I'm saddened that so many people continually have | :49:49. | :49:51. | |
a pop at it before it's even really had a chance to get off the ground. | :49:52. | :49:59. | |
OK. The nature of these things, it's just a hiccup, Michael Pether, do | :50:00. | :50:05. | |
you agree? It's been marred by negligent 'til press and | :50:06. | :50:08. | |
developments, but essentially there is an enormous group of very well | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
qualified people who're supporting the inquiry. | :50:15. | :50:28. | |
-- marred by negative press. There are some people working very | :50:29. | :50:35. | |
efficiently. They need to get some positive developments, progress and | :50:36. | :50:38. | |
clarity of direction and... They've got the terms of reference, haven't | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
they? The difficulty with that is that they are so wide. That is the | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
nature of these inquiries. Which is important. Yes. And without that, it | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
wouldn't be achieving what it's trying to do. Let me bring in Ian | :50:50. | :50:56. | |
McFayden, a campaigner and abuse survivor. Do you worry about this, | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
or is it a hiccup, as Peter says? This is beyond a hiccup, you know. | :51:03. | :51:08. | |
Within the last month and a half, we've lost our chair, we've now had | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
the lead counsel suspended. At what stage are people going to | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
understand, this is not about hiccups and issues that we can | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
resolve, this is about examining why this inquiry is failing us as a | :51:21. | :51:27. | |
survivors. We have to engage in this inquiry, it needs to be fit for our | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
purposes, you know. I've people who've been waiting a lifetime for | :51:33. | :51:35. | |
this inquiry. It's a one-off opportunity to get this right and | :51:36. | :51:39. | |
no, I'm not grateful to Theresa May or amber Rudd, neither of them want | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
to give us this inquiry, they have been pushed into giving us this | :51:44. | :51:47. | |
inquiry, yes. My question is, is where is the influence that's | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
destroying the leaders of this inquiry? Just so I'm clear, are you | :51:52. | :51:58. | |
saying that this QC, Ben Emmerson is essential to it or it can carry on | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
without him? The lead counsel who's been in place since 2014 who, when | :52:04. | :52:08. | |
we've had chairpersons step down, has held the inquiry together and | :52:09. | :52:12. | |
led it and driven it forward and is now suspended, is a real issue for | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
us, yes, I do. OK, so what should happen? | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
I think that basically the inquiry, if there are problems within it, | :52:22. | :52:27. | |
they need to deal with it within and not wash their dirty laundry in | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
public. For us to engage in this process and for this process to be a | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
success, you require survivors' trust to step forward and give | :52:37. | :52:41. | |
testimony and at the moment, it's lacking that sort of trust as far as | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
I'm concerned. All right. I would have to disagree. | :52:46. | :52:57. | |
It was never going to be an easy task. The best has been done. But | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
I... I didn't interrupt you, Ian. Sorry. At NAPAC, we hear every day | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
from survivors who're encouraged by this inquiry and it's a myth that | :53:10. | :53:15. | |
nothing's happening. I hope people watching will come forward to the | :53:16. | :53:19. | |
inquiry to give their testimony. There will be interim reports. The | :53:20. | :53:22. | |
panel and other members of the inquiry are already doing a great | :53:23. | :53:27. | |
deal of work. I'm not speaking for the inquiry, but I witness what is | :53:28. | :53:31. | |
going on and it will never be good enough for some people. But let's | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
get on with it. Very briefly, Ian, let's get on with | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
it, crack on with it. Briefly? Whilst we have a chair and a lead | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
counsel resigning, stepping away, being suspended, how can we allow | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
this to go on? What is happening with our inquiry? Why are the | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
leaders of our inquiry either stepping away or being suspended? | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
These are questions that need to be answered. | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
Thank you, I'm going to leave it there. Thank you very much for | :54:04. | :54:04. | |
coming on the programme. Thank you. Now, before we go some incredible | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
footage of the moment a police officer forced a car to stop | :54:10. | :54:12. | |
using his own vehicle when the driver fell | :54:13. | :54:15. | |
into a diabetic coma on the M1. PC Daniel Pattison has received | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
an award for his act of bravery, which saved the lives of the woman | :54:20. | :54:22. | |
driving, her young child and potentially | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
many other motorists. Joining me now is Chief Inspector | :54:26. | :54:27. | |
Phil Vickers from East Midlands operational support service who PC | :54:28. | :55:16. | |
Danny Pattison also works for. We can't get hold of Danny so we'll | :55:17. | :55:25. | |
have you! Thank you very much. Good morning. This was absolutely | :55:26. | :55:29. | |
astonishing but it also was a bit of a team effort as well, wasn't it? | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
Yes, absolutely. As well as Dan, there were four other members of the | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
team, another officer in the vehicle, the control room staff and | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
inspector managing the operation that morning that have received | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
commendations. Just talk us through it from the officer's point of view? | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
The initial report we received from a number of different members of the | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
public was that the car was weaving from one side of the road to the | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
other. That's not an uncommon report for us to receive, but when the | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
officers attended and tried to stop the vehicle, it failed to stop. | :56:03. | :56:05. | |
Although it wasn't making off at great speed, it was clear to the | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
officers that were in the car that, not only was the driver in there, | :56:10. | :56:12. | |
but there was an 18-month-old child as well. Talk us through how they | :56:13. | :56:18. | |
stopped it? Well, they tried to use the normal way, came up behind the | :56:19. | :56:22. | |
car and illuminated the blue lights and tried to stop it but | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
unfortunately because of the medical condition the lady was suffering | :56:27. | :56:29. | |
from at that point, she wasn't able to stop so, as you saw on the video, | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
ultimately, the officers needed to push the car into the crash barrier | :56:35. | :56:37. | |
and bring to it a safe conclusion. It wasn't just the safety of the | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
driver, obviously, it was other road-users as well. It was a | :56:42. | :56:43. | |
fantastic piece of work by everybody involved. What kind of training | :56:44. | :56:47. | |
would your officers get to be able to do that? Dan's an experienced | :56:48. | :56:53. | |
road policing officer, an advanced driver, trained in pursuit tactics | :56:54. | :56:57. | |
and he's trained to do this kind of thing. It probably emphasises the | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
kind of non-crime work we do on a daily basis when policing the roads, | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
more often when a car fails to stop it's related to criminality but in | :57:07. | :57:09. | |
this case obviously it was about the welfare of the driver. | :57:10. | :57:15. | |
It's so good to be reporting a story that has a successful outcome. I | :57:16. | :57:19. | |
mean, when the come came out of the coma, how did she respond to what | :57:20. | :57:23. | |
happened? The first thing that happened, as the officers gave her | :57:24. | :57:27. | |
first-aid by the side of the road, they shared their packed lunch with | :57:28. | :57:31. | |
her. Oh! They were able to identify that she was having a diabetic | :57:32. | :57:36. | |
episode and in fact in terms of being able to help her immediate | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
recovery, being able to share the food with her helped her immensely | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
by the side of the road. And that little girl will, I mean, when she | :57:46. | :57:49. | |
grows up, she'll remember nothing about it one would think. Clearly | :57:50. | :57:52. | |
she's going to watch the footage because it's gone around the world? | :57:53. | :57:56. | |
The officer said that she was very happy obviously to be speaking to | :57:57. | :58:00. | |
them, but she came out of it unharmed which is obviously the good | :58:01. | :58:03. | |
news. Well, really nice to talk to you and | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
give our regards to Danny and his colleagues, thank you very much Phil | :58:08. | :58:09. | |
Vickers. Thank you for your company today, | :58:10. | :58:13. | |
Joanna is here tomorrow. | :58:14. | :58:19. |
