:00:20. > :00:29.His case has been referred to for appeal.

:00:30. > :00:32.In his first TV interview we'll talk to Marine A's commanding officer

:00:33. > :00:37.who resigned in protest of his treatment.

:00:38. > :00:40.And more questions over the actions of Crewe boss Dario Gradi

:00:41. > :00:42.and whether he did enough to prevent sexual abuse at the club.

:00:43. > :00:44.We'll bring you our exclusive story shortly.

:00:45. > :00:47.Also on the programme, we follow the former boxing promoter

:00:48. > :00:49.Kelly Malonie as she takes some of her old clothes

:00:50. > :01:00.I was once the finest nern England. I was once a boxing promoter, but I

:01:01. > :01:04.had an issue with my life. I believe I was born in the wrong body and

:01:05. > :01:07.throughout my life I struggled and I came to terms with myself and I

:01:08. > :01:23.transitioned. Plus a little later in the programme

:01:24. > :01:32.we'll bring you the first interview with three families of victims

:01:33. > :01:39.of serial killer Stephen Port. They've told us they're all planning

:01:40. > :01:41.on suing the Met Police And as always, you can get in touch

:01:42. > :01:48.on all the stories we're talking about this morning, use

:01:54. > :01:57.in Indonesia after a strong earthquake struck the northern

:01:58. > :01:59.province of Aceh - the area of the country devastated

:02:00. > :02:01.by a tsunami in 2004. Many more people are thought to be

:02:02. > :02:04.trapped in the rubble The region has borne the brunt

:02:05. > :02:12.of this morning's earthquake. Local officials say

:02:13. > :02:14.many lives have been It's feared more people could be

:02:15. > :02:23.trapped beneath the rubble. It struck at dawn as many people

:02:24. > :02:26.were preparing for morning prayers. TRANSLATION: This morning I received

:02:27. > :02:37.the report about the earthquake. And I've already ordered

:02:38. > :02:40.all agencies to take action. And soon the chief of presidential

:02:41. > :02:44.staff will be going there. The earthquake struck offshore,

:02:45. > :02:46.about 170 kilometres from the city of Banda Aceh,

:02:47. > :02:52.the capital of Aceh Province on the Sumatra island,

:02:53. > :02:54.measuring a magnitude of 6.4. The effects were felt

:02:55. > :02:58.across much of the province. This area was devastated 12 years

:02:59. > :03:03.ago, when an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.2 triggered

:03:04. > :03:05.a tsunami that killed 170,000 People fled the streets,

:03:06. > :03:16.forced from their homes. Emergency workers try to help

:03:17. > :03:20.and assess the damage. So far, several people have

:03:21. > :03:22.been taken to hospital. And others try and leave the area,

:03:23. > :03:29.fearing further after-shocks. Indonesian's meteorological agency

:03:30. > :03:33.said there is no risk of the tsunami but there has been an appeal

:03:34. > :03:36.for more people to come and help in the search and rescue as they try

:03:37. > :03:39.and cope with the scale Our reporter Mehulika Sitepu is in

:03:40. > :03:57.the Indonesian capital Jakarta. What is the latest on the rescue

:03:58. > :04:03.efforts? Oh, well, heavy machinery is now being used to help escavate

:04:04. > :04:14.the rubble and more machinery are sent to the district because they

:04:15. > :04:20.are short of escavators. The Chief-of-Staff is heading to the

:04:21. > :04:26.area to report to the president so that they can plan what they can do

:04:27. > :04:36.to the area and people affected with the quake. And what about

:04:37. > :04:41.aftershocks? It is reported at least five aftershocks happened after the

:04:42. > :04:46.quake. I talked to one of the residents, so after the quake

:04:47. > :04:50.happened, they actually ran out of their houses, fled to the higher

:04:51. > :04:56.ground because they were afraid of a tsunami because they are still in

:04:57. > :05:05.trauma of what happened in 2004. They say that even though emergency

:05:06. > :05:14.tents, they are afraid to get into the tents or get into their houses

:05:15. > :05:15.because they are traumatised that aftershocks or more quakes will

:05:16. > :05:17.happen. Annita is in the BBC

:05:18. > :05:19.Newsroom with a summary The number of patients waiting four

:05:20. > :05:24.hours or more to be allocated a bed in hospitals in England has risen

:05:25. > :05:26.significantly over A study of NHS England data by BBC

:05:27. > :05:31.News shows that more than one in ten patients admitted for urgent care

:05:32. > :05:33.last year faced long delays - that's almost a five-fold

:05:34. > :05:35.increase since 2011. You've a beautiful

:05:36. > :05:47.calendar for next year... By any standards, Norman Sykes

:05:48. > :05:49.is extremely frail. At 92 he's had a series of strokes

:05:50. > :05:52.and has dementia as a result. In March he was taken to a need

:05:53. > :05:55.where, despite a doctor's warning that this life was at risk,

:05:56. > :05:59.he had to wait for five hours I was shocked to find out

:06:00. > :06:03.that he had to wait in a corridor. I was further exasperated that once

:06:04. > :06:07.he was in A it then took another five hours before they were able

:06:08. > :06:09.to find a bed and Mr Sykes' experience has become

:06:10. > :06:18.increasingly the common. In 2010-2011, fewer than 100,000

:06:19. > :06:20.people were kept on trolleys or temporary beds for longer

:06:21. > :06:27.than the NHS' four hour maximum. By 2015-2016, it was more

:06:28. > :06:29.than 470,000, although that number was slightly inflated by a new way

:06:30. > :06:37.of calculating trolley waits. Patients on so-called trolley waits

:06:38. > :06:40.are a symptom of a deeper problem. For safety and efficiency,

:06:41. > :06:42.hospitals should have no more than 85% of their beds occupied,

:06:43. > :06:44.but almost three-quarters of England's hospital trusts have

:06:45. > :06:54.exceeded that figure. Health Service figures for Scotland,

:06:55. > :06:56.Wales and Northern Ireland aren't directly comparable with England,

:06:57. > :06:58.but do suggest an increasing Doctors say many hospitals

:06:59. > :07:02.are already dangerously full. With winter coming, demand

:07:03. > :07:15.is likely only to increase. Two drugs firms have been fined

:07:16. > :07:17.almost ?90 million after hiking the cost of an anti-epilepsy

:07:18. > :07:23.drug by up to 2006%. The Competition and Markets

:07:24. > :07:25.Authority said drug-maker Pfizer and distributor Flynn Pharma broke

:07:26. > :07:28.competition law in 2013 when they increased the cost

:07:29. > :07:30.of a medicine used by around 48,000 Both companies say they will appeal

:07:31. > :07:39.against the decision. The senior UN official in Yemen has

:07:40. > :07:43.accused the world of turning a blind eye to a worsening humanitarian

:07:44. > :07:45.disaster there after twenty Jamie McGoldrick told BBC News that

:07:46. > :07:52.children were dying of hunger because the international response

:07:53. > :07:55.was "extraordinarily underfunded". He said the country's infrastructure

:07:56. > :07:57.had collapsed and more than half the population lacked

:07:58. > :08:04.the means to sustain itself. And later in the programme,

:08:05. > :08:07.Victoria will be talking to Oxfam to find out more

:08:08. > :08:10.about the situation in Yemen. Government forces in Syria have

:08:11. > :08:13.taken control of more rebel strongholds in the divided

:08:14. > :08:15.city of Aleppo. Reports say they've captured five

:08:16. > :08:17.more previously rebel-held areas, and now have control

:08:18. > :08:19.of all of Aleppo's historic The army, which is being supported

:08:20. > :08:26.by Russian forces, has now seized about seventy percent of territory

:08:27. > :08:28.held by rebel forces in Aleppo Authorities in Bolivia have arrested

:08:29. > :08:35.the head of the airline involved in last week's plane crash

:08:36. > :08:37.in Colombia that killed 71 people including most

:08:38. > :08:39.of the Brazilian football team, The plane, operated by the LaMia

:08:40. > :08:43.airline, was flying from Bolivia to the city of Medellin

:08:44. > :08:52.when it ran out of fuel. New powers to prevent people

:08:53. > :08:54.being stalked are to be introduced Officers will be able to apply

:08:55. > :08:58.for Stalking Protection Orders as soon as people raise the alarm,

:08:59. > :09:01.which would ban suspects from approaching their targets

:09:02. > :09:02.and sending them messages The move comes after the number

:09:03. > :09:06.of stalking offences reported to police increased by more

:09:07. > :09:19.than 1,000 over the past year. The Royal Navy's former flagship HMS

:09:20. > :09:22.Illustrious will make its final voyage this morning when it sails

:09:23. > :09:24.from Portsmouth on its The aircraft carrier

:09:25. > :09:27.was decommissioned in 2014 after 32 years in service

:09:28. > :09:30.in which it was deployed as far afield as the Falkland Islands

:09:31. > :09:32.and the Persian Gulf. It had been hoped that the ship

:09:33. > :09:35.could be kept in the UK, but last year the Government

:09:36. > :09:43.announced it was being sold to a Turkish scrapyard

:09:44. > :09:45.for ?2 million. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:09:46. > :09:50.News - more at 9.30. Do get in touch with us

:09:51. > :09:53.throughout the morning - use the hashtag Victoria LIVE

:09:54. > :10:04.and if you text, you will be charged Sad sad news. Good morning. Sad

:10:05. > :10:09.news, indeed this morning. The Dubai ladies Masters first round was

:10:10. > :10:14.suspended after the caddy of French player collapsed on the 13th

:10:15. > :10:19.fairway. Here she is being consoled. We don't see her caddy. She has not

:10:20. > :10:25.been named -- he has not been named as yet. He was treated by the

:10:26. > :10:30.medical team in Dubai before he was taken to hospital where he died. The

:10:31. > :10:36.tournament has been reduced. Play will resume. The European Tour

:10:37. > :10:38.offered heartfelt condolences to the individual's family and loved ones.

:10:39. > :10:43.Let's talk about the Champions League. What are the highlights?

:10:44. > :10:51.Yes, it was a good night for Arsene Wenger. They went to Basel and won

:10:52. > :10:56.4-1. They topped Group A. It was a special night for Lucas Perez. He

:10:57. > :11:04.helped them finish top of their group for the first time in four

:11:05. > :11:08.years. Paris St Germain drew. The Gunners to still face the likes of

:11:09. > :11:11.Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, so they will be hoping for a favourable

:11:12. > :11:18.draw. Manchester City finished second. They drew with Celtic who go

:11:19. > :11:21.out of Europe altogether. Novak Djokovic is making changes to try to

:11:22. > :11:27.get back to the number one spot in tennis? Indeed, Victoria. It has

:11:28. > :11:32.been a difficult time of late for Novak Djokovic. I say difficult, but

:11:33. > :11:37.he is still the world's number two player. The rise of Andy Murray has

:11:38. > :11:42.been food for thought for Novak Djokovic. This time last year he had

:11:43. > :11:46.twice as many ranking points as his nearest rival, although he won the

:11:47. > :11:49.Australian and French Opens, he decided to split from his coach

:11:50. > :11:54.Boris Becker with whom he has worked for the past three years. The pair

:11:55. > :11:57.won six Grand Slam titles in their time together and they say they have

:11:58. > :12:01.achieved their targets, the Serbian talked of personal issues and he has

:12:02. > :12:05.struggled with injury. A new direction could be what he needs to

:12:06. > :12:09.drive him on to the 13th Grand Slam, Victoria. And cheer leading at the

:12:10. > :12:13.Olympics? Stay with me on this one! I was surprised when I heard the

:12:14. > :12:17.news as well, thinking, surely, it must be an American thing. Well,

:12:18. > :12:23.there are many countries that would be wanting to take part, the

:12:24. > :12:27.International Cheer leading Union boast over 100 national federations

:12:28. > :12:33.and more than 4.5 million registered athletes which is rather a lot.

:12:34. > :12:36.Importantly as well for the International Olympic Committee the

:12:37. > :12:40.sport has a youth focus as they are looking to build for the future. It

:12:41. > :12:43.won't ever necessarily make the Games, but it has received

:12:44. > :12:49.provisional recognition as an Olympic sport. That means they can

:12:50. > :12:52.get IOC funding and they apply for a place in the Games so it is a

:12:53. > :13:04.possibility for the future, Victoria. Thank you very much, Hugh.

:13:05. > :13:06.This morning, more questions over the actions of Crewe boss

:13:07. > :13:09.Dario Gradi and whether he did enough to prevent sexual abuse

:13:10. > :13:13.at the club where he was the manager and is now Director of Football.

:13:14. > :13:15.A mother of one ex-youth player has told this

:13:16. > :13:19.programme she wrote - anonymously - to him more

:13:20. > :13:21.than 25 years ago, back in 1989-1990, saying

:13:22. > :13:24.she was concerned that boys were being asked to stay overnight

:13:25. > :13:27.in the same bedroom as an adult member of staff and warning

:13:28. > :13:33.Dario Gradi has consistently said he didn't know anything

:13:34. > :13:35.about alleged abuse until 1994 - five years later.

:13:36. > :13:47.Dario Gradi one of the longest serving managers in the professional

:13:48. > :13:51.game. He has been at Crewe for more than 30 years. Anyone that's been

:13:52. > :13:55.following events in football recently will know that Crewe has

:13:56. > :13:58.been at the centre of some of these abuse allegations. People want to

:13:59. > :14:02.know what did people in authority know back then? And could more have

:14:03. > :14:07.been done to protect young players? Well, as you say, we have been

:14:08. > :14:14.speaking to a mother of one young trainee around the end of the 80s

:14:15. > :14:17.and the beginning of the 90ings she says she wrote an anonymous letter

:14:18. > :14:21.to Dario Gradi back then raising concerns about some of the ways

:14:22. > :14:25.young players were being treated including, she says, her young boy

:14:26. > :14:30.was being taken away for away games overnight. Was being kept in a hotel

:14:31. > :14:33.and often there weren't enough bedrooms available for the boys so

:14:34. > :14:37.he was being forced and other boys were forced to share a room with

:14:38. > :14:42.adult members of stasmt. She is not saying abuse took place, she is

:14:43. > :14:46.saying she wrote this letter saying, "Look this arrangement was totally

:14:47. > :14:49.inappropriate." She wanted Dario Gradi to take action, she says, to

:14:50. > :15:00.stop this. This is what she told us.

:15:01. > :15:06.So I wrote to Dario Gradi to say I was concerned that a member of staff

:15:07. > :15:11.was taking the young footballers on footballing weekends and they

:15:12. > :15:15.hadn't, they were telling the young boys that they hadn't booked enough

:15:16. > :15:21.beds for all the boys and some of them would have to share beds with

:15:22. > :15:27.this member of staff and so I said in a letter that I thought it was

:15:28. > :15:32.totally inappropriate and it was easily remedied that they could get

:15:33. > :15:35.some more beds. I asked if he could look into, you know, what was going

:15:36. > :15:40.on. I didn't make any accusations because I didn't know what was going

:15:41. > :15:44.on. I didn't have proof. I just wanted someone to find out why

:15:45. > :15:54.members of staff were sleeping with young boys. Why do you write

:15:55. > :16:03.anonymously? I did not want them to take it out on my son.

:16:04. > :16:13.I did not trust them. I thought they may just say, we don't want your son

:16:14. > :16:17.in our team if you are going to cause trouble. I was pretty weak at

:16:18. > :16:25.the time, probably not the best thing to do. But you were worried?

:16:26. > :16:33.Yes, it was that good instinct. I have no proof. And the fact this

:16:34. > :16:39.member of staff did not feed my son, son he did really well, my son lost

:16:40. > :16:45.such a lot of weight, over two or three days. I said, why did you not

:16:46. > :16:49.go and buy some food? He said, the member of staff had taken the money

:16:50. > :16:53.off him, he did not have any, they had no way of getting food or

:16:54. > :17:00.anything. Your letter was purely about the sleeping arrangements?

:17:01. > :17:07.Yes. Do you know if Dario Gradi got the letter, read the letter? I have

:17:08. > :17:13.no idea. I thought it will take time, because they may be doing

:17:14. > :17:24.covert investigations, naive me. Nothing happened. As far as I know,

:17:25. > :17:35.nothing happened. There was another weekend that my son wanted to go on,

:17:36. > :17:42.so he went on this weekend, he had money in his bags, I said, you can

:17:43. > :17:47.go, but if you don't feel right about anything, you must either

:17:48. > :17:55.phone me... Because if you don't, I will come to get you. Hopefully I

:17:56. > :18:02.did not frighten him, but I said I would come and get him. He did phone

:18:03. > :18:08.me, and I said, are you OK? He said, we have been showing some horror

:18:09. > :18:13.movies. It turned out he had his own bedroom, but even then there were

:18:14. > :18:24.boys sharing beds with members of staff. My son sounded when he phoned

:18:25. > :18:30.me. They had done nothing, because they were still sharing a bed. It

:18:31. > :18:42.might be hard to answer, but when you reflect, do you think there was

:18:43. > :18:50.more you could have done then? I did speak to a social worker, and she

:18:51. > :18:55.said that if nothing had happened to my son, they could not do anything,

:18:56. > :19:01.and it was up to other people's parents to report it. And to take my

:19:02. > :19:06.son away from the School of excellence if I was worried. He

:19:07. > :19:13.wanted to take football, so that fosters occult. I spoke to a police

:19:14. > :19:19.officer who did not share my concerns, so that got nowhere. I

:19:20. > :19:23.wrote to two National newspapers, but I am not aware that anything

:19:24. > :19:30.happened. Asking them to investigate, just to see what was

:19:31. > :19:36.going on. I could have done a lot more, I suppose, but I did not have

:19:37. > :19:41.evidence. I did not know of anyone else. I did not really know, it was

:19:42. > :19:48.a gut instinct, really. It was very difficult.

:19:49. > :20:00.They are men now, but all of those children. Somebody must have known

:20:01. > :20:07.it was going on, it cannot just have been me. It cannot just have been me

:20:08. > :20:12.that told somebody something was going on, there is no way. Out of

:20:13. > :20:17.all those parents or people watching the football, it can't have been

:20:18. > :20:23.just me. I find it very odd. You did as much as you could. I want to say

:20:24. > :20:30.I am sorry to those lads that got abused, because I could have done

:20:31. > :20:36.more. But it is all hindsight. She is the mum of one youth player.

:20:37. > :20:40.Her bawling was about children sleeping in bed with adults and the

:20:41. > :20:43.under booking of beds -- her warning. It was not about abuse.

:20:44. > :20:44.What have Dario Gradi and Crewe said?

:20:45. > :20:50.Well, Mr Gradi has previously said he "knew nothing" about the alleged

:20:51. > :20:54.abuse of young footballers by anyone connected with the club until 1994,

:20:55. > :20:56.five years after this mum wrote her anonymous letter.

:20:57. > :20:59.We don't know if this letter was ever received or read

:21:00. > :21:02.by Mr Gradi or anyone else at the club.

:21:03. > :21:04.In a statement last night he said to us, "Aside

:21:05. > :21:07.from denying any wrongdoing, it would be unfair on all parties

:21:08. > :21:09.to comment piecemeal through the media at this time."

:21:10. > :21:12.And we now know that the FA expects to interview Dario Gradi

:21:13. > :21:24.There was a report in the Independent newspaper last week,

:21:25. > :21:28.about him when he was at Chelsea. The allegation is he smoothed over

:21:29. > :21:34.more allegations of abuse against a man called Eddie Heath, a youth

:21:35. > :21:38.trainer and coach at Chelsea at the time. Dario Gradi denies wrongdoing.

:21:39. > :21:40.Yesterday our colleague Dan Roan spoke to Mr Gradi outside

:21:41. > :21:54.Hello. Can we ask if you have considered your position, given what

:21:55. > :21:59.has happened? I have made my statement, I have nothing more to

:22:00. > :22:05.add. Did you want to apologise to the players? Steve Waters has not

:22:06. > :22:08.had an apology. What are your links with Eddie Heath? What are your legs

:22:09. > :22:17.with Eddie Heath? -- your links? And Matt Le Tissier also spoke out

:22:18. > :22:19.about abuse last night? A man who played eight

:22:20. > :22:23.times for England and one of Southampton's best-loved players,

:22:24. > :22:26.spent his whole career Last night he spoke

:22:27. > :22:36.out for the first time about the allegations around

:22:37. > :22:40.Bob Higgins, the former He said he doesn't consider himself

:22:41. > :22:49.a victim of sexual abuse, but did see what he describes

:22:50. > :23:04.as inappropriate behaviour. I became a schoolboy late, I did not

:23:05. > :23:08.have a great deal of time as a schoolboy. My apprenticeship came

:23:09. > :23:12.quickly afterwards. Boys talk at that age, they take the Mickey, it

:23:13. > :23:17.gets covered up as banter at that stage. When you grow into an adult

:23:18. > :23:25.and you look back, you think, that is not right. " boys used to stay

:23:26. > :23:30.over at his house, and that was quite commonplace. How do you look

:23:31. > :23:37.at that now? It would never be allowed in this day and age. There

:23:38. > :23:40.was one time on one of the few occasions I chemicals to Southampton

:23:41. > :23:45.I was due to stay at his house, and the day before I was told, no, you

:23:46. > :23:50.will stay at one of the other players who with their parents.

:23:51. > :24:00.Looking back, I feel less that happen. -- blessed. Was it just

:24:01. > :24:12.banter? How was it reviewed at the time? When I was there, everyone was

:24:13. > :24:19.naked, getting thrown on this bed, very quick massage. It was

:24:20. > :24:26.uncomfortable, it was something I was not used to, growing up, even at

:24:27. > :24:31.school, you were shy about your body at that age, you did not address in

:24:32. > :24:38.front of other people. I remember feeling very uncomfortable. You

:24:39. > :24:50.experienced it? Yes. How do you look at it now? It is very, very wrong.

:24:51. > :24:56.Looking back on it, you think it was wrong. But as a young boy, you saw

:24:57. > :24:59.everybody else doing it, and you thought, right, is this normal?

:25:00. > :25:03.Clearly, it wasn't. The BBC hasn't been able to speak

:25:04. > :25:09.to Mr Higgins, who until recently He has in the past

:25:10. > :25:12.denied the allegations, and he was acquitted of sexual-abuse

:25:13. > :25:16.charges in 1992. And, yet more revelations,

:25:17. > :25:20.this time about a London club? This is about Queens Park Rangers,

:25:21. > :25:26.QPR, and a man called Chris Gieler. He was at the club for 30 years,

:25:27. > :25:29.working in youth development We spoke last night to a former

:25:30. > :25:44.player who said he was sexually Touched inappropriately

:25:45. > :25:49.when he was just 15. Speaking anonymously, he said, "He,

:25:50. > :25:53.that's Chris Gieler, I had an ice pack on my groin

:25:54. > :26:01.and he started touching my groin." He went on to say he "slapped his

:26:02. > :26:04.hand out of the way" We also spoke to a second QPR

:26:05. > :26:10.player, again this is anonymously. He told us that although he didn't

:26:11. > :26:12.suffer abuse himself, Mr Gieler used to give the boys

:26:13. > :26:14.presents and gifts, and he felt overall his actions

:26:15. > :26:18.were often inappropriate. QPR say they take these allegations

:26:19. > :26:39.very seriously and will cooperate A couple of messages from those of

:26:40. > :26:42.you who were watching the mother of one former youth player at Crewe

:26:43. > :26:48.Alexandra. One says, the poor woman is blaming herself, and she told

:26:49. > :26:53.people what was happening. Another person says, she did more than so

:26:54. > :26:57.many others that knew more. If you have been affected by any of these

:26:58. > :27:07.issues, you can find a list of helplines on our website.

:31:38. > :31:43.It was given to me by the TV company that promoted Lennox's fights.

:31:44. > :31:49.And it's got a lot of history and a lot of value to it.

:31:50. > :31:52.I used to buy a suit after every fight and this was my first real

:31:53. > :31:55.sort of expensive suit I bought in New York, just after Lewis

:31:56. > :32:07.As soon as I saw this in the Italian shop in New York,

:32:08. > :32:10.I thought do you know what, I've got to have that suit,

:32:11. > :32:13.and I bought it, and I would get people saying to me,

:32:14. > :32:16.who do you think you are, wearing it, a gangster?

:32:17. > :32:24.And I would say, I could be, couldn't I?

:32:25. > :32:26.And I went and had this suit made in London,

:32:27. > :32:29.it's from old English worsted and I wanted a Rupert Bear type suit

:32:30. > :32:34.Actually if I had to pay for it it would have been about ?3000.

:32:35. > :32:38.But the tailors gave it to me as long as I gave them a free ad

:32:39. > :32:41.in the programme which was good because I used to do

:32:42. > :32:44.The amount of money I paid, over the years, for these suits,

:32:45. > :32:53.I will admit I have kept one jacket that I'm not going to give away.

:32:54. > :33:01.That was my Lennox Lewis world title jacket.

:33:02. > :33:05.These are part of my life and my history and I was keeping it

:33:06. > :33:13.and I was going to do some boot sales this coming summer and donate

:33:14. > :33:16.But, you know, I've always watched on television,

:33:17. > :33:20.And I realised, like, I've got so much stuff here,

:33:21. > :33:22.instead of selling it, it might be beneficial

:33:23. > :33:27.I'm just finally, I suppose, cutting the final strings,

:33:28. > :33:31.and it's taken me quite a bit of time to bury Frank, I suppose,

:33:32. > :33:36.because he was such a larger than life character.

:33:37. > :33:40.And sometimes I get upset about it, and other times, I think, it's just,

:33:41. > :33:44.it was someone that really lived a life that wasn't the true life.

:33:45. > :33:49.You know, it's time now to let the past and let Frank

:33:50. > :34:02.I think the clothes will be going to a good cause now.

:34:03. > :34:05.I've watched lots of programmes on the refugees and I've got

:34:06. > :34:10.But I don't think anyone's ever covered the LGBT refugees,

:34:11. > :34:17.what they've been through, to get to where they are.

:34:18. > :34:20.Besides losing their country and some of their family,

:34:21. > :34:23.they've had to come to terms with themselves and come out

:34:24. > :34:25.in a society which, you know, if you are trans or gay,

:34:26. > :34:44.And I feel their journey would have been a lot harder than mine.

:34:45. > :35:24.We should have brought the chocolate with us?

:35:25. > :35:48.To see this first-hand has made me see things so different.

:35:49. > :35:56.I work for myself, helping people that suffer with identity

:35:57. > :36:05.I believe that I was born in the wrong body and throughout my

:36:06. > :36:07.life I struggled and eventually I came to terms with myself

:36:08. > :36:12.and I transitioned to the person I am today.

:36:13. > :36:19.And now I'm on a mission to try and help people.

:36:20. > :36:21.Have they got a hospital here in the camp?

:36:22. > :36:32.We have lots of clothes that you can take.

:36:33. > :36:37.This is a nice jacket for one of the boys.

:36:38. > :36:46.Most of these were all my clothes at one time.

:36:47. > :36:48.This is all part of my life now disappearing.

:36:49. > :37:20.Yesterday was quite an emotional day, because to meet the people

:37:21. > :37:30.Because in one way they seemed contented but in the conditions

:37:31. > :37:32.they were living in, it was disgraceful.

:37:33. > :37:34.When we got talking they started to ask me personal

:37:35. > :37:38.Trying to explain that I was a man in a previous life,

:37:39. > :37:43.I know that when we gave them the clothes and I said to them,

:37:44. > :37:46.these were mine, a couple of the guys' eyes, sort of looked...

:37:47. > :37:51.What would be like to be in that camp as an LGBT

:37:52. > :37:58.Today we're in Paris, where we're actually having some

:37:59. > :38:01.meetings set up with some refugees that are from the LGBT community.

:38:02. > :38:04.And I want to meet with them and ask them what their experience was,

:38:05. > :38:19.getting here to France, and what life is like for them now.

:38:20. > :38:24.We heard someone screaming loud, oh, a woman and a woman!

:38:25. > :38:27.Come and see these two stupid women of the highest order.

:38:28. > :38:33.So we were scared immediately, we ran.

:38:34. > :38:36.Me I fell down, I was paraded in front of all the traders,

:38:37. > :39:02.I tried to plead, saying, no, we were just there was just

:39:03. > :39:04.whispering in her ear, but nobody would listen.

:39:05. > :39:22.I tried to plead, saying, no, we were just...

:39:23. > :39:25.I was just whispering in her ear, but nobody would listen.

:39:26. > :39:30.They were saying, let's burn her, let's

:39:31. > :39:34.Contaminated which needs to be wiped out.

:39:35. > :39:36.In order not to contaminate the younger generations.

:39:37. > :39:38.I am a trans woman and I've actually been to

:39:39. > :39:46.What would people of Uganda, would they accept

:39:47. > :39:49.a trans person or would they be discriminated against in Uganda?

:39:50. > :39:52.You would expect to face a lot of threats of violence, even possible

:39:53. > :40:03.It is dangerous in Uganda to live an LGBT life.

:40:04. > :40:19.You can't come out in public and speak, you are hated.

:40:20. > :40:23.Your family, have they accepted you or have they

:40:24. > :40:29.My family members have said, if they come across me,

:40:30. > :40:32.they are the ones who will hand me to the police, what

:40:33. > :40:41.How do you feel now that you are in Paris and have met other refugees

:40:42. > :40:42.that have gone through the same experience?

:40:43. > :40:44.I have no fear, I am enjoying my life.

:40:45. > :41:11.The LGBT refugees that come here and ask for asylum on the

:41:12. > :41:17.reason of sexual orientation, normally they avoid being in a camp

:41:18. > :41:21.and being out in a camp, if you are a gay, lesbian

:41:22. > :41:25.or transgender person and you come in from Syria, for

:41:26. > :41:29.example and you are going to camp, you will be, I think very careful

:41:30. > :41:34.not to say that you are gay, lesbian, or transgender, because

:41:35. > :41:41.this can be very dangerous to be discriminated by your peers.

:41:42. > :41:43.Refugees in general, in France, face very

:41:44. > :41:56.difficult times and to be an LGBT refugee, it's a challenge.

:41:57. > :42:35.I came on this journey because I wanted to

:42:36. > :42:37.understand what the refugees, especially gay refugees, suffered to

:42:38. > :42:45.To meet people and understand their journey but being

:42:46. > :42:49.here and personally seeing it and meeting people like Kate and

:42:50. > :42:54.Marmaduke, it has really opened my eyes and made me understand how

:42:55. > :42:56.brave and incredibly strong these people

:42:57. > :43:00.are to make this journey and find peace and happiness.

:43:01. > :43:02.Also it was a way of burying the last traces

:43:03. > :43:22.I bring what was left of Frank's life,

:43:23. > :43:24.giving it to the refugees who probably needed it more

:43:25. > :43:28.And you can watch that full fill on our programme

:43:29. > :43:37.Aid agencies accuse the world of ignoring the conflict in Yemen,

:43:38. > :43:39.where half a million children are severely malnourished

:43:40. > :43:43.and the country is just months away from widespread starvation.

:43:44. > :43:48.MPs will vote for the first time later today on the Government's plan

:43:49. > :43:51.to start the formal process of leaving the EU by the end

:43:52. > :43:59.Theresa May says she will publish her proposal for Brexit

:44:00. > :44:01.to avoid a rebellion from within her own party.

:44:02. > :44:03.Some Conservative MPs were set to get together with Labour

:44:04. > :44:06.in Parliament today in a vote to force ministers to publish

:44:07. > :44:07.something, anything, about their plans for Brexit,

:44:08. > :44:14.Let's speak to Labour's Brexit Shadow Minister Jenny Chapman MP,

:44:15. > :44:16.who voted Remain, and Conservative MP Kwasi Kwarteng,

:44:17. > :44:26.Mr Kwarteng, has Theresa May actually got a Brexit plan?

:44:27. > :44:32.I think we do have a Brexit plan. For me, it has always been clear

:44:33. > :44:35.what the plan is. We want to restrict freedom of movement and

:44:36. > :44:40.have wide as possible access... What's her plan? I think that's her

:44:41. > :44:43.planment she made that many times and Government ministers said it

:44:44. > :44:48.many times and I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, frankly. I'm not

:44:49. > :44:51.sure they have said it many times actually, I don't think it is a

:44:52. > :44:55.blueprint, is it? It is very clear... It is clear to you because

:44:56. > :44:58.that's what you want? Well, that's what people voted for. How do you

:44:59. > :45:05.know? Because they voted to leave the EU. It was a vote to leave the

:45:06. > :45:10.EU, but not a blueprint? The polls subsequently suggested that

:45:11. > :45:14.immigration was a big issue, the Remainers said it was a big issue

:45:15. > :45:16.and we want to have as wide access to the single market and the

:45:17. > :45:20.Chancellor said that as has the Prime Minister.

:45:21. > :45:30.Do you back more details, or did you not needed? I have not had an issue

:45:31. > :45:33.with this, I just feel the basic principles were obvious. We needed

:45:34. > :45:39.some restraint on freedom of movement, they may want to restrict

:45:40. > :45:43.our access to the single market, but we don't know what their position

:45:44. > :45:48.will be. Did you back her publishing more details? I would be interested

:45:49. > :45:53.to see them, but I did not see it was necessary. She delivered a sound

:45:54. > :46:04.bite yesterday, we are going for a red, white and blue Brexit. A sound

:46:05. > :46:07.bite? It was a way of saying we will have a British Brexit, some

:46:08. > :46:13.restraint on freedom of proof and, because that is what the polling

:46:14. > :46:17.data suggests people want, and we want access to the single market, as

:46:18. > :46:24.much as possible. It is up to them to decide what the final deal will

:46:25. > :46:29.be. Two parties are negotiating, we don't have an actual say. She has

:46:30. > :46:34.agreed to your demands but she has added one of her own, this vote

:46:35. > :46:39.requiring MPs to vote to back the triggering of article 50. We will

:46:40. > :46:43.vote for that, that has been our position, we respect the referendum,

:46:44. > :46:50.we have said repeatedly we will not block Article 50, ... You happy with

:46:51. > :46:54.her timetable? I welcome the opportunity to put to bed this idea

:46:55. > :47:00.that the Labour Party is a bold in the road that will try to stop this,

:47:01. > :47:04.which is constantly the accusation from the Conservative Party. At

:47:05. > :47:10.least this afternoon we get to get rid of that accusation, by voting

:47:11. > :47:13.accordingly. What is interesting is that when he says he think there is

:47:14. > :47:20.a plan and this is what he would like to see, the trouble is, we are

:47:21. > :47:23.hearing one thing from him and other backbenchers, but we are hearing

:47:24. > :47:26.other messages from the forum secretary which contradict things

:47:27. > :47:30.that David Davis is saying, we are getting glimpses of handwritten

:47:31. > :47:33.notes from meetings, we have had nothing of any substance from the

:47:34. > :47:38.Government, which is why we had to force them to publish their plan,

:47:39. > :47:43.which we have now done. I do not happy about a red, white and blue

:47:44. > :47:47.Brexit? It is absolute nonsense, it probably sounded great in rehearsal,

:47:48. > :47:53.but it is that you are nonsense. When do you want her to publish her

:47:54. > :47:57.details? We would like something well before the end of March,

:47:58. > :48:05.because that is only fair. January would be good. I would expect her to

:48:06. > :48:12.commit to January. We need time to examine it. Business, the select

:48:13. > :48:15.committee and many others would like to see an outline of the plan, the

:48:16. > :48:22.basic plan, that is what we are asking for. What is your ideal

:48:23. > :48:29.scenario? Labour is not going to be negotiating... But you have an ideal

:48:30. > :48:33.scenario. We have priorities. But at the end of the day, with the best

:48:34. > :48:36.will in the world, it is not the Labour Party who is going to be

:48:37. > :48:41.negotiating in Brussels, it is the Government. Our job as the

:48:42. > :48:47.opposition is to challenge, scrutinise... Labour wants full

:48:48. > :48:50.access to the single market, but you have not said how you would achieve

:48:51. > :48:54.that. We think that is the most important priority. Would you

:48:55. > :48:59.continue to accept freedom of movement? We want management of

:49:00. > :49:04.migration as well. These are not unrealistic aims. We think it is a

:49:05. > :49:09.negotiation, you need to go in, say what you would like to achieve, then

:49:10. > :49:13.there is a negotiation. But unless you state where you would like your

:49:14. > :49:17.destination to be, you are not going to land there by accident, you have

:49:18. > :49:22.to start with clarity. The idea that you can keep this to yourself and

:49:23. > :49:30.that nobody will find out is ridiculous, because MEPs will be

:49:31. > :49:37.told. It is not ridiculous. The idea that they will keep it all to

:49:38. > :49:42.themselves and there will be no... You have not asked me, but when you

:49:43. > :49:47.enter a negotiation, you don't reveal everything that you want. You

:49:48. > :49:51.know the plan anyway. I know what the broad plan is, that is what

:49:52. > :49:53.Jenny said, we want to restrict freedom of movement and the widest

:49:54. > :49:59.possible access to the single market. You said manage immigration.

:50:00. > :50:05.Unless you wanted unrestrained immigration, that is a restriction,

:50:06. > :50:08.some form of management. We can play with words all morning. The main

:50:09. > :50:13.point is the principles are clear will stop I am disappointed you feel

:50:14. > :50:16.the Government has not made that clear, because they have said it

:50:17. > :50:20.again and again, maybe we should say it more often. The Government is

:50:21. > :50:25.saying contradictory things. Last Thursday David Davis said that he

:50:26. > :50:32.expected we would make contributions to the EU budget after we had left.

:50:33. > :50:35.To have access to the single market. Indeed, but Boris Johnson says he

:50:36. > :50:41.think it is pure speculation, not necessarily the case. It is

:50:42. > :50:45.speculation. This what the Secretary of State for leaving the EU at the

:50:46. > :50:51.dispatch box in response to a question saying there is. Who is in

:50:52. > :50:58.charge? We have not even started article 50 process. The Germans have

:50:59. > :51:01.said clearly that they do not want any renegotiation, they want to stop

:51:02. > :51:05.once we have triggered article 50. Everything we say before it is

:51:06. > :51:17.triggered is regulation. So there is no plan. I have said there is a

:51:18. > :51:19.plan, we want... We want to restrict freedom of movement and we want the

:51:20. > :51:25.widest possible access to the single market. It is regulation insofar as

:51:26. > :51:30.we don't know what the other people are going to say. It would be great

:51:31. > :51:35.to decide exactly what the outcome is, but that is not the process. We

:51:36. > :51:36.have 27 countries with different ideas, and we have to negotiate with

:51:37. > :51:40.them. It's day three of proceedings

:51:41. > :51:42.at the Supreme Court, with more legal argument over

:51:43. > :51:44.who has the right to We'll be getting the latest

:51:45. > :51:49.at about 10:45am, but if you want to watch what's happening

:51:50. > :51:51.inside the court without interruption, you can go to the BBC

:51:52. > :52:00.News website at bbc.co.uk/Brexit. Sergeant Alexander Blackman,

:52:01. > :52:03.the royal marine who was sentenced to life imprisonment for shooting

:52:04. > :52:05.dead an already badly-wounded Taliban fighter in Afghanistan five

:52:06. > :52:08.years ago, has had his case referred It now means there's

:52:09. > :52:12.a "real possibility" that his conviction could be

:52:13. > :52:16.quashed, and he could be home before Sergeant Blackman, who initially

:52:17. > :52:21.was referred to as Marine A, He says he did so whilst under

:52:22. > :52:28.intense combat stress. The whole incident was filmed

:52:29. > :52:32.on the headcam of another soldier. After firing the shot,

:52:33. > :52:34.you can hear Sergeant Blackman tell his colleagues he's just broken

:52:35. > :52:37.the Geneva Convention on how If you don't want to hear

:52:38. > :52:46.it, turn your TV down Anyone to do first aid on this

:52:47. > :53:23.idiot? Colonel Oliver Lee was Blackman's

:53:24. > :53:28.commanding officer In Helmand. He resigned his commission soon

:53:29. > :53:32.after he was sentenced. I spoke to him in his first

:53:33. > :53:49.TV interview about it. For two reasons. Principally, I felt

:53:50. > :53:55.that the proceedings relating to him had omitted a series of very

:53:56. > :54:04.important factors that would have been material to his case, and I

:54:05. > :54:10.felt that was deeply regrettable. Secondly, a slightly more subtle

:54:11. > :54:18.reason. It seems a peculiar idea that my career would continue to

:54:19. > :54:23.flourish and move forward when somebody working alongside me and

:54:24. > :54:27.for whom I had to command responsibility was serving a life

:54:28. > :54:30.sentence for murder. Tell us what those important factors were that

:54:31. > :54:38.you believe should have been considered in his case that were

:54:39. > :54:43.not. It is difficult for anybody who has not been in that position, and I

:54:44. > :54:51.have not been in the same position that he was in on that particular

:54:52. > :54:54.operational tour, to understand the level of extreme stress that is

:54:55. > :55:02.bearing down on somebody who is being asked to do what was asked of

:55:03. > :55:08.him. I think there are also a series of broader factors associated with

:55:09. > :55:13.preparations for a tour like that, oversight of a tour like that, that

:55:14. > :55:18.are highly material to his case, and that were not considered at least as

:55:19. > :55:24.far as I can see in any great degree of detail in proceedings that have

:55:25. > :55:33.been against him. But it is illegal to shoot a wounded soldier.

:55:34. > :55:37.Absolutely. That is entirely right. It is consistently why I have made

:55:38. > :55:43.the point that I neither seek to condone his actions, nor do I seek

:55:44. > :55:47.to exonerate him from his response abilities of. But I think it is

:55:48. > :55:54.right and proper in order for him to be dealt with justly and fairly, and

:55:55. > :55:58.by that I don't mean leniently, for all the factors that were at play at

:55:59. > :56:04.that particular moment too bigoted carefully and in the round by the

:56:05. > :56:13.appropriate legal authority -- to be considered carefully. What do you

:56:14. > :56:18.think should happen to him now? I don't know the answer to that

:56:19. > :56:21.question, because I am not a lawyer, I am the son of lawyers, but I am

:56:22. > :56:29.not a lawyer. I respect rightly the legal system. I simply wish that

:56:30. > :56:33.what should happen from here, and I am delighted with the announcement,

:56:34. > :56:37.is that in the round, in the broadest sense, to include all of

:56:38. > :56:42.the factors at play, his case is considered carefully, such that he

:56:43. > :56:50.is dealt with in a just and fair manner. Our audience heard earlier

:56:51. > :56:55.some of the audio that recorded him and his colleagues around the time

:56:56. > :57:05.of the shooting dead of the Taliban soldier. He said things like, no,

:57:06. > :57:12.not on his head, because that will be obvious. Move him around.

:57:13. > :57:18.Somebody else says, I am going to switch this camera off. Then he

:57:19. > :57:28.says, I have just broken the Geneva Convention. I can't possibly, and

:57:29. > :57:32.nor what I conceive of, condoning that or seeking to exonerate anybody

:57:33. > :57:38.from their responsibilities who has been involved in that. The

:57:39. > :57:44.fundamental principle upon which I led the commando in Afghanistan had

:57:45. > :57:49.ten principles, the first one was to treat Afghans with dignity, and I

:57:50. > :57:53.believe in that fundamentally. However, that does not conflict with

:57:54. > :57:59.my view, which is that all of the factors in play in his case should

:58:00. > :58:01.be available to the legal authority in order for the legal authority to

:58:02. > :58:14.take a judgment that is just unfair. In the next hour, we will speak to

:58:15. > :58:18.his lawyer. Needs to do with the earthquake in

:58:19. > :58:26.Indonesia. The latest reports say the death toll has risen to 97. 97

:58:27. > :58:30.people now known to have been killed, after the 6.5 magnitude

:58:31. > :58:37.earthquake that struck. The death toll now 97.

:58:38. > :58:39.We will bring you the latest news and sport in a moment, but before

:58:40. > :58:44.that, the weather. It is not cold, it has been a mild

:58:45. > :59:02.start, and it still is mild. There is a chance that Northern

:59:03. > :59:08.Ireland could break its December ten of June record today, it have to

:59:09. > :59:13.break 16 Celsius for that to happen. We have the mild air cos it has been

:59:14. > :59:15.pumping up from the Azores through the course of yesterday evening and

:59:16. > :59:24.overnight, winding high temperatures by night and by morning. As we go

:59:25. > :59:28.through today, we are looking at quite a lot of cloud for some of us,

:59:29. > :59:33.but there will be some good sunshine around. We have a weather front

:59:34. > :59:37.moving south across northern and western Scotland, getting to the

:59:38. > :59:40.east, and the same for Northern Ireland. It will have an impact on

:59:41. > :59:46.the temperature. If the rain comes early, the temperature won't have a

:59:47. > :59:51.chance to climb higher. Cloud for Northern Ireland, sunny breaks. The

:59:52. > :59:55.North could hit 16. We also have the rain moving across Scotland. Not

:59:56. > :00:01.heavy. Warmer around the Moray Firth. As we pushed down into

:00:02. > :00:06.northern England and North Wales, the weather front producing the

:00:07. > :00:13.rain. South of that, a fair amount of sunshine. A lot of sunny spells.

:00:14. > :00:17.There will be a bit more cloud. Not as windy as it will be in the north

:00:18. > :00:21.and west. As we push into the south-west of England, a fair bit of

:00:22. > :00:26.sunshine. We will see the cloud built, as it will do across Wales,

:00:27. > :00:30.then the rain comes in. Gales across the North and west of Scotland. We

:00:31. > :00:36.could well have some severe gales with exposure. The rain coming

:00:37. > :00:42.south, it turns around and starts to come back north. It will be heavy

:00:43. > :00:46.and persistent. Also windy. It is not going to be a cold night, we are

:00:47. > :00:51.not expecting frost problems anywhere.

:00:52. > :00:53.Chancellor said that as has the Prime Minister.

:00:54. > :00:59.Tomorrow we start off with the rain. That pushes off into the North Sea

:01:00. > :01:03.leaving cloud and misty conditions and hill fog and drizzle. The far

:01:04. > :01:07.north of England and Northern Ireland and Scotland, still seeing a

:01:08. > :01:10.fair bit of cloud at times, but here it will break and we will see

:01:11. > :01:15.sunshine with a few showers peppering the west of Scotland.

:01:16. > :01:21.Temperatures ten to 13. So just a touch down on today.

:01:46. > :01:52.he did enough to prevent sexual abuse at the club? One mum tells us

:01:58. > :02:02.co-operated with allegations of alleged abuse and the first time he

:02:03. > :02:07.knew of any allegations was in 1994. A country suffering starvation and

:04:04. > :04:06.She didn't allege that abuse had taken place.

:04:07. > :04:10.I could have done a lot more, I suppose, but I didn't have evidence.

:04:11. > :04:12.I didn't know of anyone else, or I didn't know...

:04:13. > :04:16.It was a gut instinct, really, so it was really difficult.

:04:17. > :04:18.It was really difficult, I have to say.

:04:19. > :04:26.I mean, they're men now, but all those children, it's like...

:04:27. > :04:28.Someone must have known it was going on.

:04:29. > :04:35.It can't just have been me that told somebody there

:10:23. > :10:24.from drugs overdoses or suicide before the police finally

:10:25. > :10:35.linked their deaths and investigated them as murders.

:10:36. > :10:38.In fact it was the families who forced the police to look

:10:45. > :10:46.the first man killed by Stephen Port.

:10:47. > :10:48.Mandy Pearson is the step-mum of Daniel Whitworth.

:10:49. > :10:51.He was the third victim and he was found with a fake suicide

:10:59. > :11:00.actually been killed by Port the month before.

:11:01. > :11:03.And Donna and Jen Taylor are Jack Taylor's sisters.

:11:04. > :11:05.It was them who forced police to look for a link

:11:06. > :11:15.They join us now in their first joint interview.

:11:16. > :11:22.Thank you very much for coming on the programme. We really appreciate

:11:23. > :11:27.it. I'd like to start with you two if I may, Donna and Jen, the police

:11:28. > :11:30.failed to link three similar deaths all in the same area and they said

:11:31. > :11:36.that your brother had died of a drugs overdose. What were you

:11:37. > :11:41.telling the police at this time? It wasn't right. That he wouldn't do

:11:42. > :11:47.drugs. So we knew that he hadn't died of a drugs overdose. We just

:11:48. > :11:52.knew that we had to try and get them to listen to us and try and piece it

:11:53. > :11:56.all together. Yes, it was just, that was just not Jack. He was

:11:57. > :12:03.anti-drugs. And that he wouldn't have gone to an area where they were

:12:04. > :12:07.saying he had gone and sat and we needed them to not just look at the

:12:08. > :12:11.fact that, you know, Jack didn't go to that area and sit down and do

:12:12. > :12:14.that himself and he didn't take the drugs himself, but because we had

:12:15. > :12:18.looked at other bits and pieces to do that with, we needed them to look

:12:19. > :12:22.at the whole situation from our point of view and from what we were

:12:23. > :12:27.finding. So you were saying, look at these previous deaths. Look at this?

:12:28. > :12:33.Yeah. Yeah, because there were too many similarities. We had done a lot

:12:34. > :12:37.of our own homework on it. And there was too many different bits and

:12:38. > :12:44.pieces that you couldn't say were linked, but when it came down to the

:12:45. > :12:49.individual boys, there were so many similarities that to us, linked them

:12:50. > :12:53.and we wanted that to be checked. You were asking questions like for

:12:54. > :12:59.example the bottle of the drug GHB that was found on Jack, a syringe

:13:00. > :13:03.found with him that he didn't use. And they, those items needed to be

:13:04. > :13:11.tested and looked at obviously? Yeah. But it wasn't happening? No.

:13:12. > :13:15.What were you thinking was going on? Well, because it wasn't deemed as a

:13:16. > :13:20.suspicious, they said that those things wouldn't be looked at and

:13:21. > :13:25.there was no need to look at them. They basically had already said that

:13:26. > :13:28.Jack had done an overdose and they were going to wait for toxicology

:13:29. > :13:31.results and that was that. You must have felt like you were

:13:32. > :13:36.banging your head against a brick wall? Yeah, definitely. Sarah,

:13:37. > :13:41.mother of Anthony, thank you for talking to us. Your son, Anthony was

:13:42. > :13:45.the first victim of Stephen Port, but even before Stephen Port met

:13:46. > :13:53.Anthony, you say there were missed opportunities to stop his death?

:13:54. > :13:56.Yes, in 2012, Port was seen at the railway station with a man heavily

:13:57. > :14:00.drugged and distressed and the police have come and seen Port going

:14:01. > :14:04.through his bag and an ambulance was called for this man. This man

:14:05. > :14:08.obviously, he wanted to remain anonymous, he didn't want the police

:14:09. > :14:16.involved or anybody to know, but nothing was done. This man was

:14:17. > :14:23.screaming, "Help. Help me." So why were no notes taken. Nothing was

:14:24. > :14:26.recorded? Not at that time, no. I think straightaway, as soon as you

:14:27. > :14:30.heard Anthony had been found you knew that it wasn't as the police

:14:31. > :14:33.were describing it? The first conversation I had with the police I

:14:34. > :14:39.told them that. There is something not right about this. What did they

:14:40. > :14:45.say to you had happened to him? That he had been found dead in the street

:14:46. > :14:50.and I said, "Heart attack, has he been stabbed? What happened?"

:14:51. > :14:53.Nothing, he has been found dead in the street, we don't know. I said

:14:54. > :14:58.something is not right. Something is not right about this. And one of the

:14:59. > :15:05.things that wasn't right is that he was wearing Stephen Port's T-shirt?

:15:06. > :15:08.Anthony was 5'9", with weighed nine-and-a-half stone, he was as

:15:09. > :15:13.thin as they come and this T-shirt must have been four sizes too big

:15:14. > :15:17.and there was no questions asked. I found out in court, his underwear

:15:18. > :15:20.was on inside out and back to front. So the police never asked, never

:15:21. > :15:26.looked at this and never thought this is a bit strange, I was told by

:15:27. > :15:31.the police he had dressed himself and gone to bed, gone into Port's

:15:32. > :15:36.bed when he didn't feel very well. Was he dressed? Did he have his

:15:37. > :15:41.shoes on? Did somebody dress him? No.

:15:42. > :15:50.Your stepson was found with a suicide note, reportedly written by

:15:51. > :15:53.Daniel, saying that he had taken his own life, because he had

:15:54. > :15:57.accidentally killed Stephen Port's previous victim.

:15:58. > :16:06.Did they investigate the handwriting? No. They did not

:16:07. > :16:11.realise it was not his handwriting? No, they did not see it as

:16:12. > :16:19.suspicious. It was a while before we saw it anyway. But we could not

:16:20. > :16:26.understand why he would do that. I know people who do commit suicide

:16:27. > :16:31.are very good at covering up things, but the content of the letter said

:16:32. > :16:37.that he had accidentally taken the life of Gabriel. We had been out to

:16:38. > :16:45.family functions and things since that time, since Gabriel was found,

:16:46. > :16:51.and we could not believe how he would be functioning with that

:16:52. > :16:58.knowledge as well as he was. It did not make sense. What else did the

:16:59. > :17:04.notes say? It also said not to blame the man he was with last night.

:17:05. > :17:10.Which was Stephen Port. We did not know that, we asked where he had

:17:11. > :17:18.been, who was the man he was with last night? We don't know. We may

:17:19. > :17:22.never know. We got that reply quite frequently to quite a few questions.

:17:23. > :17:28.What would you thinking was going on, if officers investigating the

:17:29. > :17:39.death of your son were not asking questions? We did trust them, even

:17:40. > :17:45.in their absence, to be doing something. Because we could not

:17:46. > :17:54.understand why he would do that at this time in his life, when

:17:55. > :17:57.everything was going well. He was a very happy man, very happy with his

:17:58. > :18:06.job and his life in general. He was quite happy. Where they were ending

:18:07. > :18:11.up piecing things together and turning detective, you were trusting

:18:12. > :18:17.the police to do their job, because you wanted to grieve. We were

:18:18. > :18:21.finding the whole circumstance difficult to deal with. His grandma

:18:22. > :18:30.especially, they were extremely close. We had yet to give the news

:18:31. > :18:37.to her. To try and explain it to her. She has already lost her son to

:18:38. > :18:42.suicide, and then she had lost her only grandchild. To what we thought

:18:43. > :18:49.was suicide. And being told by the police that he was a murderer. Yes.

:18:50. > :18:55.I do run the saying I wish he had come to us, it would have been

:18:56. > :18:59.misadventure, if it really was accidental, of course it would have

:19:00. > :19:08.been accidental, our son is not a murderer. That is the only way we

:19:09. > :19:14.could look at it. But all the time we were trying to fathom how he had

:19:15. > :19:20.kept that to himself. His partner was trying to work out how he could

:19:21. > :19:25.have even been in the Barking area when Gabriel died, because that was

:19:26. > :19:32.not adding up either. All of this stuff was going through your head.

:19:33. > :19:41.They were very difficult to get hold of, the police, anyway. Our liaison

:19:42. > :19:48.officer did not liaise. That is my take on it. Nine months before I met

:19:49. > :19:52.my liaison officer, it took nine months for him to meet me, and we

:19:53. > :19:57.could not get hold of him. It was weeks and weeks in between calls.

:19:58. > :20:01.You would bring them, it will take them a fortnight to get back to you.

:20:02. > :20:07.Every time I would say, have you found anything, there was nothing to

:20:08. > :20:14.investigate. He took the drugs and he died. We were told that time and

:20:15. > :20:21.time again. We will never know the truth, many times they said that. It

:20:22. > :20:27.was so hard to get any information at all, they refused to investigate

:20:28. > :20:30.it. What do you feel about the lack of investigation, the missed

:20:31. > :20:37.opportunities? They were absolutely appalling. The way we were treated,

:20:38. > :20:44.the way we were spoken to sometimes. A total and utter lack of any

:20:45. > :20:53.investigation whatsoever. You feel incredibly strongly. They should

:20:54. > :20:59.never be here. A child could have put together the clues that he was

:21:00. > :21:04.giving, one death after another. After Daniel was found, I rang the

:21:05. > :21:09.liaison officer, and I had been on the Internet, looking at the every,

:21:10. > :21:15.and I said, there are another two, that is free, within a mile. Nothing

:21:16. > :21:20.to do with each other. One was a homeless guy and one did not live in

:21:21. > :21:24.the area. As we found that, Stephen Port planted drugs on them, they

:21:25. > :21:29.were within feet of each other, two of the lads, the other was 500

:21:30. > :21:37.metres away. A five-year-old child could have put that together. We

:21:38. > :21:42.were in the dark. A lot of things were found out later. I found out

:21:43. > :21:48.most of the things we needed to know the public inquest. Five or six

:21:49. > :21:56.months after his death. Had I known those things, I would have not stood

:21:57. > :22:04.back. Absolutely not. There were so many things that were coming to

:22:05. > :22:07.light in Walthamstow Forest. I found out at the trial a lot of stuff I

:22:08. > :22:14.did not know. We have never had an inquest. It is quite a shock. It is

:22:15. > :22:20.bad enough going to the Old Bailey, and things were coming out that we

:22:21. > :22:24.knew nothing about. Tell us about the decision to sue the Metropolitan

:22:25. > :22:34.Police. As far as we are concerned, as a family, we feel very strongly

:22:35. > :22:40.about this. Stephen Port took Jack's life, but we feel that the police

:22:41. > :22:44.that did not do their jobs with any of the families, as far as we are

:22:45. > :22:49.concerned they have played a massive part in Jack's death. If they had

:22:50. > :22:54.done their job properly, Jack would still be here today. There is no

:22:55. > :22:58.other way of looking at it. We feel that we want them to be held

:22:59. > :23:04.accountable. We want the answers of why they did not do this, did not do

:23:05. > :23:09.that. We want them to be held accountable. The IPCC is

:23:10. > :23:13.investigating, and the Met police have said the commander in charge of

:23:14. > :23:19.the specialist crime and operations command has written to each of you

:23:20. > :23:26.to express severe condolences and to apologise for missed opportunities.

:23:27. > :23:35.How do you take that? I feel it is a bit late. A letter when somebody's

:23:36. > :23:40.life has been taken that is so dear to you, no, it does not cut it. At

:23:41. > :23:45.the end of the day the police officers, no matter what part they

:23:46. > :23:48.are in in their job, they are trained to look out for certain

:23:49. > :23:55.things, and we feel that that was not done, because if it was, we

:23:56. > :24:07.would not be sitting here now. How did you take the apology? It is too

:24:08. > :24:14.little, too late. If they were for girls, would it have been any

:24:15. > :24:20.different? If Anthony had been a 23-year-old girl, and then Gabriel

:24:21. > :24:22.and Daniel, if they had been girls found in suspicious circumstances,

:24:23. > :24:29.there would have been more media coverage, and a massive part of this

:24:30. > :24:37.investigation was homophobic. I really do think that. Do you think

:24:38. > :24:40.that? Massively. That is why they did not investigate, because they

:24:41. > :24:54.thought it is gay men, it does not matter? Data could at face value.

:24:55. > :24:58.Young gay lads, done. From the very beginning, they refused to

:24:59. > :25:05.investigate anything. No matter what you said, there was nothing to

:25:06. > :25:11.investigate. Daniel was not out there doing that kind of thing. He

:25:12. > :25:15.worked some unbelievable hours, his recreational time was minimal, and

:25:16. > :25:23.when he did go out, he went out with his partner. They did not want to

:25:24. > :25:26.know about the personality, they did not want to know, really. They had

:25:27. > :25:34.made up their mind. That came across. Do you believe it was today

:25:35. > :25:37.with homophobia? Yes, if they were women it would have been looked

:25:38. > :25:44.into. We said that from the start, if it was a woman, you would do a

:25:45. > :25:50.lot more. They just thought it was another druggy, possible gay man,

:25:51. > :25:58.and that is it. That is literally it. It is heartbreaking. Thank you

:25:59. > :26:02.for coming on our programme and for talking so eloquently about this. We

:26:03. > :26:06.will follow the case as you pursue your legal action.

:26:07. > :26:08.More than 21 months of conflict have devastated Yemen,

:26:09. > :26:10.and left 18 million people in need of some kind of

:26:11. > :26:18.Yemen is in the Middle East, just below Saudi Arabia.

:26:19. > :26:20.The United Nations estimates 14 million people are at risk

:30:10. > :30:23.We have just heard the scale of this crisis. What can the world do?

:30:24. > :30:35.The world can do a lot. Starting by calling all parties in the conflict

:30:36. > :30:41.to bear in mind that civilians are to be spread -- 's bed, and they

:30:42. > :30:49.need to get access to the basics. As it was shown, the dire situation is

:30:50. > :30:56.everywhere. People are having a hard time to bring bread to the table,

:30:57. > :31:06.which is the basic of the basics. Are you expecting things to worsen?

:31:07. > :31:15.Unfortunately, things might be worsened if we don't reach any kind

:31:16. > :31:21.of political agreement that the situation on the ground might be

:31:22. > :31:29.easier. Also in terms of security, because one of the other issues that

:31:30. > :31:37.humanitarian is facing on the ground is that we cannot provide assistance

:31:38. > :31:46.to the population, because of the security of our staff. We need to

:31:47. > :31:47.balance between the needs and the security to hand over assistance to

:31:48. > :32:02.the population. Their lives are in danger. Indeed.

:32:03. > :32:13.As you said, the needs actually are huge. For many years the Yemeni

:32:14. > :32:16.population, they were already suffering before the current

:32:17. > :32:21.conflict and with the conflict, the situation has become a little bit

:32:22. > :32:27.more tougher. One of the main things actually is regarding the economic

:32:28. > :32:35.situation. People, they don't have cash, money. This dire situation is

:37:14. > :37:15.today looking at whether Parliament or Government has the right

:37:16. > :37:17.to trigger Brexit. Our legal correspondent

:37:18. > :37:24.Clive Coleman is there. Good morning. This epic legal battle

:37:25. > :37:28.continuesment at stake who has the power to trigger Article 50 of the

:37:29. > :37:33.Lisbon Treaty. That's the process by which the UK leaves the EU. Is it

:37:34. > :37:37.ministers using executive powers and bypassing Parliament or is it the

:37:38. > :37:41.representatives of the people over the way there in Parliament who have

:37:42. > :37:44.to give their authority through an Act of Parliament? Well, this case

:37:45. > :37:48.has drawn protesters every day. No difference today of the let's talk

:37:49. > :37:52.to some of them here. First of all, let's chat with Dr Zwrulia Reid who

:37:53. > :37:56.is a Ukip MEP. You're here again today. Dr Reid, why is it so

:37:57. > :38:02.important for you to be here? Well, I think it is important first to

:38:03. > :38:07.show support four activists like Herbert here who produced these

:38:08. > :38:11.amazing posters and to convey that we believe that Parliament has

:38:12. > :38:15.already had a vote, they voted 6-1 that the British people should have

:38:16. > :38:23.a referendum. They also got to vote in the actual referendum itself. And

:38:24. > :38:27.they should stand up and in spite of the fact that perhaps they wanted to

:38:28. > :38:30.remain, in constituencies where the majority of the people voted to

:38:31. > :38:35.leave, they should be supporting that. We consider that this is a

:38:36. > :38:38.delaying tact UK and we never expected after winning the

:38:39. > :38:44.referendum nearly six months ago that we'd still be fighting it now.

:38:45. > :38:53.I mean... Let's have the other side. Let the other side have a say. Let's

:38:54. > :38:57.speak to Antonio Bright. You're from the Movement For Justice, why do you

:38:58. > :39:04.think it is important to demonstrate outside the court? There is only one

:39:05. > :39:08.policy put forward and that's immigrant bashing. It leads to more

:39:09. > :39:14.fascism and that's the danger for us. It needs to be... You'd like a

:39:15. > :39:20.second referendum? Yeah, I think there needs to be way more time

:39:21. > :39:23.given and debate. We'd like to see Brexit stopped to be quite frank

:39:24. > :39:27.because of the direction that it leads us... That isn't going to

:39:28. > :39:34.happen. This case is about who has the power to trigger Brexit?

:39:35. > :39:38.Ministers or Parliament? There it has to come back to Parliament and

:39:39. > :39:40.no secret deals and it has to be opened up. We're looking at a

:39:41. > :39:48.dangerous direction in the future. Thank you very much. Demonstrators

:39:49. > :39:53.here again today. At the moment Lord Pannick representing Gina Miller the

:39:54. > :39:56.main claimant is on his feet making the case that it really must be the

:39:57. > :40:00.representatives of the people, over there in Parliament, who have the

:40:01. > :40:03.authority to trigger Article 50. Arguments go on today.

:40:04. > :40:07.Thank you very much, Clive. Proceedings are underway now as we

:40:08. > :40:11.can see if you want to watch what is happening inside the court without

:40:12. > :40:20.interruption, go to the BBC website. Sergeant Alexander Blackman,

:40:21. > :40:29.the Royal Marine who was sentenced to life imprisonment for shooting

:40:30. > :40:32.dead an already badly wounded Taliban fighter

:40:33. > :40:34.in Afghanistan five years ago, has had his case referred back

:40:35. > :40:36.to the military appeal court. It now means there's

:40:37. > :40:39.a "real possibility" that his conviction

:40:40. > :40:59.could be quashed. It is very difficult for anybody who

:41:00. > :41:03.hasn't been in that position and I haven't been in the same position

:41:04. > :41:09.that Sergeant Blackman was in on that tour to understand the level of

:41:10. > :41:14.extreme stress that is bearing down on somebody who is being asked to do

:41:15. > :41:21.what was asked of Sergeant Blackman. I think there are also a series of

:41:22. > :41:25.broader factors associated with preparations for a tour like that,

:41:26. > :41:30.oversight of a tour like that, that are highly material to his case and

:41:31. > :41:37.that weren't considered at least as far as I can see in any great degree

:41:38. > :41:41.of detail in the proceedings that are have been against him hitherto.

:41:42. > :41:45.And in Westminster is Sir Gerald Howarth -

:41:46. > :41:56.Mr Goldberg, what's the new evidence? Well, three distinguished

:41:57. > :42:00.psychiatrists, one of them appointed independently by the Criminal Cases

:42:01. > :42:04.Review Commission are unanimous that he was suffering from what we lay

:42:05. > :42:08.men would call combat distress disorder. I'm not going to bother

:42:09. > :42:12.with the psychiatric terms at the moment he shot. None of this was

:42:13. > :42:16.presented to any of the courts previously. That's not the only

:42:17. > :42:19.ground I want to emphasise, there are at least four other grounds

:42:20. > :42:24.which would have justified bringing his conviction of murder down to

:42:25. > :42:29.manslaughter with a much lesser sentence and probably meaning his

:42:30. > :42:34.release today. Why wasn't stress taken into account

:42:35. > :42:39.at the original hearing? The court is only as good as the evidence and

:42:40. > :42:42.arguments presented to it by the then defending lawyers and I'm going

:42:43. > :42:45.to make no further comment at all. I understand. Right, Sir Gerald, good

:42:46. > :42:49.morning to you, what do you think about the fact that a fresh appeal

:42:50. > :42:54.has been granted? I'm delighted. This is a case which has, I think,

:42:55. > :42:57.seriously upset the public. We send our men and women to go and do

:42:58. > :43:02.pretty filthy jobs, putting their lives on the line whilst the rest of

:43:03. > :43:06.us are enjoying our lives at home with our families and I think that

:43:07. > :43:10.therefore, there is a responsibility particularly on the politicians who

:43:11. > :43:15.make the decisions about going to war that we do all that we can to

:43:16. > :43:20.support our soldiers. Soldiers, sailors and airmen, of course, and

:43:21. > :43:25.I'm pleased that the CCRC decided to refer this case to the Court of

:43:26. > :43:30.Appeal. You say we should support them even when they shoot dead a

:43:31. > :43:37.wounded soldier which is illegal? It is illegal and it is very important

:43:38. > :43:44.that we instil in our armed forces the need to uphold the highest

:43:45. > :43:47.possible standards. That, of course, is absolutely important, that's what

:43:48. > :43:52.we as ministers and as members of Parliament, that's what we expect of

:43:53. > :43:59.our soldiers, sailors and airmen, but they are often facing absolutely

:44:00. > :44:03.filthy conditions and if you see your comrades' bodies parts hanging

:44:04. > :44:09.from a tree, I defy anybody watching this programme now not to feel a

:44:10. > :44:15.sense of anger at that happening to brave British soldiers. So, you

:44:16. > :44:20.cannot excuse action taken in the heat of battle, but you do have to

:44:21. > :44:24.put it in the context of actions taken in the heat of battle and you

:44:25. > :44:27.just heard from Mr Goldberg that one of the reasons why the can Criminal

:44:28. > :44:30.Cases Review Commission has referred to this case back to the Court of

:44:31. > :44:33.Appeal is because of the new evidence, not least the state of

:44:34. > :44:39.mind of Sergeant Blackman at the time. Mr Goldberg, we heard our

:44:40. > :44:44.audience heard, from the videoing of the incident at the time that

:44:45. > :44:50.Sergeant Blackman himself acknowledged he had broken the

:44:51. > :44:56.Geneva convention? You see, he meant by that, he thought desser rating an

:44:57. > :45:02.already dead body in the moment of anger. This man was dying. He was

:45:03. > :45:07.within seconds of death at best. I've obtained the best pathologist

:45:08. > :45:12.in the country who has taken a new look at the case and the film and

:45:13. > :45:15.all of the rest of it and he says you would have needed to be a doctor

:45:16. > :45:21.to have known that this fella wasn't already dead. Again, none of that

:45:22. > :45:27.was presented to original court. He had fired at him 139 high explosive

:45:28. > :45:31.rounds from an Apache gunship and you know, in many previous wars

:45:32. > :45:34.dying soldiers begged their own comrades to put them out of their

:45:35. > :45:37.death agonies, but of course, that's not a defence in law, I say,

:45:38. > :45:46.straightaway. What would be the right thing for

:45:47. > :45:52.him now, in your view? What I said at the time, and I was not alone,

:45:53. > :46:01.but I thought the sentence was unquestionably and Julie Heavey, and

:46:02. > :46:06.is a case for manslaughter is going to be made, I don't know what his

:46:07. > :46:09.legal arguments are going to be, but if the court considers this

:46:10. > :46:14.objectively and all of the circumstances, I think back a

:46:15. > :46:22.reduced sentence which would allow him to walk free and back into the

:46:23. > :46:25.military is what I would like to see, and a lot of people in the

:46:26. > :46:31.country are the same. One thing that worries me is that some of these

:46:32. > :46:37.cases are being taken, ... We have the Iraq historic allegations

:46:38. > :46:43.tribunal, where a private company has been paid ?22 million by the

:46:44. > :46:51.Ministry of Defence to go and search for soldiers who may have committed

:46:52. > :46:55.illegal acts in Iraq many years ago. This is being done because the

:46:56. > :46:57.Labour Government in 2001 wanted Britain to sign up to the

:46:58. > :47:05.International Criminal Court, and therefore put our soldiers, sailors

:47:06. > :47:10.and NN at risk of prosecution... Your Government would be within its

:47:11. > :47:12.rights to close down those tribunal is, it could do that tomorrow, but I

:47:13. > :47:18.take your point. One in eight people who're in work

:47:19. > :47:21.are living in poverty. That's according to the charity

:47:22. > :47:25.the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which says more people are currently

:47:26. > :47:28.in work but living in So are the so-called just-managing

:47:29. > :47:34.families and working people actually He's from the New Policy Institute

:47:35. > :47:42.and the author of the report published today by the Joseph

:47:43. > :47:46.Rowntree Foundation. Tracy Miller is a mother with two

:47:47. > :47:50.daughters who works freelance Jermaine Lawlor works full time,

:47:51. > :47:56.he lives alone in Greater London. And Murad Alam is a father

:47:57. > :47:59.with two children. He's currently not

:48:00. > :48:03.working but his wife is. When he was also recently

:48:04. > :48:05.working, he says the family was still living below

:48:06. > :48:07.the Joseph Rowntree Foundation's The number of people who are working

:48:08. > :48:33.and who are still poor 3.8 million people in work, one in

:48:34. > :48:38.aid of all people in a job, and we then add on top of that the children

:48:39. > :48:41.who are living with them and any nonworking partners, and it is

:48:42. > :48:47.giving about 7.5 million people across the UK who are in a working

:48:48. > :48:55.household but below what is in effect official poverty line is,

:48:56. > :48:58.well more than half of the people in poverty. The idea that poverty is

:48:59. > :49:01.mainly about nonworking families is not the case.

:49:02. > :49:04.You work 37 and a half hours a week and, according

:49:05. > :49:06.to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation's definition of poverty, you're living

:49:07. > :49:21.As a parent, you think, let me get a job and provide for the kids and

:49:22. > :49:28.life should be easier, but as a working parent it is not. Two people

:49:29. > :49:32.ask why you work. Of course, but you have to have a positive outlook, and

:49:33. > :49:36.I would encourage mothers to work, because it is not just about the

:49:37. > :49:41.financial gain, it is about being out in society, socialising and

:49:42. > :49:43.mixing with people that can help you with things and not being indoors

:49:44. > :49:47.and being mentally depressed. You're exactly the kind of person

:49:48. > :49:50.who Peter's talking about, you're single, living alone,

:49:51. > :49:52.you're a youth worker and you've just done a 12-hour night

:49:53. > :49:56.shift before coming here. Would you class yourself

:49:57. > :50:06.as living in poverty? The statistics are higher than one

:50:07. > :50:13.in eight. I think the majority of people that are working struggle to

:50:14. > :50:18.meet bills. I am a youth worker, I have done it for nine years, and my

:50:19. > :50:23.problem is we have constant cuts by Government. We are tackling issues

:50:24. > :50:33.that affect our communities, and there are cuts which mean we cannot

:50:34. > :50:39.sustain our jobs. Sometimes I do an 80 hour week, and I don't get time

:50:40. > :50:43.to spend the money, because I am always working, and if I don't do

:50:44. > :50:48.that, you all in the vicious circle of being poor. You lost your job a

:50:49. > :50:59.few months ago, your wife works. Even when you were working you were

:51:00. > :51:06.living in poverty. What do you have to cut back on? General

:51:07. > :51:12.entertainment, I cannot go out for a meal, I can't go to the cinema, the

:51:13. > :51:17.new Star Wars film is coming out and I cannot afford to take them, which

:51:18. > :51:23.is a crying shame. Just have to cut back on extra food, heating, have to

:51:24. > :51:29.keep the heating down. I don't think we should have to do it in UK

:51:30. > :51:35.society today. What chance of you getting more work soon? I will get

:51:36. > :51:40.another job, it is just the time of year, nobody is starting any IT jobs

:51:41. > :51:50.in December. I will get something, but it will not be until the New

:51:51. > :51:54.Year. What is the answer? The minimum wage goes up more than it is

:51:55. > :52:03.due to? It is due to be sex ban -- ?7 20 eight April, ?9 by 2020. We

:52:04. > :52:08.just need single mothers and singer father 's to be able to keep our

:52:09. > :52:16.wages. Wages should rise of the cost of living rises. You talked about an

:52:17. > :52:20.80 hour week, when you do more hours, you are away from your kids

:52:21. > :52:26.more, and they are with childcare, so you don't seem them much. I have

:52:27. > :52:32.my little one, saying, you are always at work. I say, if I don't

:52:33. > :52:38.work, how am I going to provide for you? You are torn, it is hard. The

:52:39. > :52:43.poor get poor, the rich get richer, and the gap gets broader. The

:52:44. > :52:46.taxation system is unfair, you have football players earning ?300,000 a

:52:47. > :52:52.week for kicking a football, you have doctors that do not learn that

:52:53. > :52:57.in a lifetime, so we have to look at our priorities. People are greedy,

:52:58. > :53:01.politicians say that this is the minimum living wage, but they are

:53:02. > :53:07.not living on it themselves, so it is a contradictory message. Wings

:53:08. > :53:12.are going up, food, rent, living in London, but our wages are not going

:53:13. > :53:16.up, opportunities, access to education, in adversity grounds, so

:53:17. > :53:21.much needs to be done, but it boils down to greed, we are living in a

:53:22. > :53:26.greedy society. There is a lot therefore any politician to take on

:53:27. > :53:30.board. Where would you start? I would look at policies and

:53:31. > :53:37.legislation is, job opportunities, jobs that are sustainable and when

:53:38. > :53:45.you can build a career and life. And taxation is a big one. Take more

:53:46. > :53:57.people out of tax? People that are earning large sums of money, they

:53:58. > :53:58.are not taxed a lot. But for lower wages, it is quite a lot, so we need

:53:59. > :54:05.to look at the balance. James Arthur has gone

:54:06. > :54:07.on to have a successful career since winning the X Factor

:54:08. > :54:09.four years ago. Now, in a stunt for Radio 1, he went
