Hello it's Wednesday,

it's 9 o'clock, I'm Tina Daheley

0:00:120:00:14

in for Victoria, welcome

to the programme.

0:00:140:00:15

Cyber stalking - which can be

anything from sending

0:00:150:00:18

repeated unwanted texts,

to leaving nasty messages on social

0:00:180:00:20

media - is a growing problem,

but victims and experts complain

0:00:200:00:22

it's not always taken

seriously by police,

0:00:220:00:24

and conviction rates are low.

0:00:240:00:25

Could a new approach

and app being trialled

0:00:250:00:27

by Bedfordshire Police change that?

0:00:270:00:35

The Royal Bank of Scotland has

already been slammed

0:00:350:00:38

by the Financial Conduct Authority

over it handled of thousands

0:00:380:00:40

of its business customers.

0:00:400:00:41

Now a group of small business owners

tell this programme they have

0:00:410:00:44

instructed lawyers to bring criminal

proceedings against RBS -

0:00:440:00:46

alleging the bank defrauded them

and caused their businesses

0:00:460:00:48

to fail.

0:00:480:00:52

And should we treat women

who kill their violent partners

0:00:520:00:54

differently to other killers?

0:00:540:00:55

We speak to the campaigners

who are calling for a review of how

0:00:550:00:58

women who murder after suffering

domestic abuse are judged.

0:00:580:01:07

Hello.

0:01:080:01:09

Welcome to the programme,

we're live until 11 this morning.

0:01:090:01:12

Also later in the programme

we will be talking to the producer

0:01:120:01:15

behind some of cinema's most iconic

movies - including Blade

0:01:150:01:18

Runner, The Italian Job

and The Deer Hunter -

0:01:180:01:20

about his career, the latest

Blade Runner film and

0:01:200:01:22

the culture in Hollywood.

0:01:220:01:24

Do get in touch on all the stories

we're talking about this morning -

at the standard network rate.

0:01:320:01:34

Our top story today,

0:01:340:01:35

an inquiry into e-cigarettes has

been announced by MPs,

0:01:350:01:37

amid concerns there are significant

gaps in what is known about them.

0:01:370:01:42

Everything from their impact

on human health to how

0:01:420:01:44

their consumption affects the NHS

and economy will be examined.

0:01:440:01:47

Our health correspondent,

Nick Triggle, reports.

0:01:470:01:51

The popularity of e-cigarettes has

soared in recent years.

0:01:510:01:57

Nearly 3 million people

in the UK now use them,

0:01:570:02:00

according to the Office

for National Statistics -

0:02:000:02:02

a fourfold increase since 2012.

0:02:020:02:04

This year they were even used

in the annual Stoptober

0:02:040:02:07

campaign for the first time.

0:02:070:02:09

Despite this, they are not

officially prescribed by the NHS.

0:02:090:02:14

Advisory body Nice say patients

should be told there is

0:02:140:02:16

currently little evidence on the

long-term benefits or harms of

0:02:160:02:19

these products.

0:02:190:02:23

The House of Commons Science

and Technology Committee

0:02:230:02:26

say there is a lack of clear

guidelines about their use and it is

0:02:260:02:29

causing confusion.

0:02:290:02:32

It has now announced

it is launching its own enquiry.

0:02:320:02:37

We need to understand the long-term

implications of a far

0:02:370:02:39

greater number of people

using e-cigarettes.

0:02:390:02:42

It's great news that people

are stopping smoking and

0:02:420:02:44

shifting to e-cigarettes,

but we need to understand

0:02:440:02:46

more about the health

consequences.

0:02:460:02:49

The cross-party group of MPs has

asked anyone who wants to

0:02:490:02:52

submit written evidence to make sure

it reaches the committee by the 8th

0:02:520:02:55

of December.

0:02:550:03:02

And we'll be speaking

to Norman Lamb, chair

0:03:090:03:11

of the committee launching this

inquiry, later in the programme.

0:03:110:03:14

Now a summary of the rest of the

news.

0:03:140:03:18

More than half of all British women

have suffered sexual harassment

0:03:180:03:21

at work or their place of study,

according to a survey

0:03:210:03:23

by BBC Radio 5 Live.

0:03:230:03:24

It found most of the women who'd

experienced inappropriate

0:03:240:03:27

behaviour didn't report it.

0:03:270:03:30

The survey of 2,000 adults also

found a fifth of men have

0:03:300:03:32

been sexually harassed,

as Adina Campbell reports.

0:03:320:03:41

Sarah Killcoyne has seen and been

on the receiving end

0:03:410:03:43

of sexual harassment.

0:03:430:03:44

Her personal experiences

started at school.

0:03:440:03:46

A high school teacher,

when I was 17,

0:03:460:03:47

who assaulted me.

And everybody knew.

0:03:470:03:52

He later married a student

just a year under me.

0:03:520:03:57

Sarah's is just one person's story.

0:03:570:04:00

We heard from men and women

who experienced all kinds of

0:04:000:04:02

different harassments.

0:04:020:04:06

More than half of women

have experienced

0:04:060:04:07

sexual harassment at work

or in a place of study,

0:04:070:04:11

according to a survey for BBC

Five Live.

0:04:110:04:16

Around two thirds of men and women

who had been harassed say they

0:04:160:04:19

didn't report it to anyone.

0:04:190:04:20

And more women than

men said they were

0:04:200:04:22

targeted by a boss

or senior manager.

0:04:220:04:26

In some cases there are blurred

lines when it comes to

0:04:260:04:29

sexual harassment.

0:04:290:04:31

It can be anything

from assault to unwanted

0:04:310:04:33

obscene comments.

0:04:330:04:36

It has led to a big online

social media campaign

0:04:360:04:39

using the hash tag #metoo.

0:04:390:04:41

It dates back more than a decade.

0:04:410:04:47

This is about individuals

who are survivors

0:04:470:04:49

of sexual violence, but it is also

about a larger conversation about

0:04:490:04:51

the systems in place.

0:04:510:04:53

The survey for 5 Live also found one

in ten women who had

0:04:530:04:56

been harassed left their job

or place of study.

0:04:560:05:06

An electrician from Stirling

who was facing three months

0:05:070:05:10

in prison in Dubai for public

indecency has spoken of his relief

0:05:100:05:12

at returning home to the UK.

0:05:120:05:14

Jamie Harron was sentenced

for touching a man's

0:05:140:05:16

hip in a crowded bar,

but freed after Dubai's

0:05:160:05:18

ruler intervened.

0:05:180:05:19

Catriona Renton reports.

0:05:190:05:21

Back into the arms of his family.

0:05:210:05:24

Jamie Harron's ordeal

is finally over.

0:05:240:05:28

He arrived in Scotland

to questions from waiting media.

0:05:280:05:30

His reaction to being home?

0:05:300:05:33

Very good.

Very happy to be home.

0:05:330:05:35

It's been a shambles

from the word go.

0:05:350:05:36

No organisation or nothing.

0:05:360:05:38

I kept positive all the way

through it, to be honest.

0:05:380:05:41

Because I still couldn't believe it

had actually happened,

0:05:410:05:47

for what it was that had actually

gone on, even now when I'm

0:05:470:05:52

home, I still can't believe

it was three and a half

0:05:520:05:54

months, four months.

0:05:540:05:55

Jamie Harron had been on a two day

stopover in Dubai in July.

0:05:550:05:58

He said he had brushed

against a man's hip in a crowded bar

0:05:580:06:02

as he tried to steady himself

to avoid spilling his drink.

0:06:020:06:04

Mr Harron was also accused

of drinking alcohol

0:06:040:06:06

and making a rude gesture

towards the businessman

0:06:060:06:08

who made the complaint.

0:06:080:06:09

Although the complaint

was withdrawn, prosecutors

0:06:090:06:10

continued with the case.

0:06:100:06:11

On Sunday he was sentenced

to three months in prison.

0:06:110:06:15

A day later, though,

following an intervention

0:06:150:06:17

from the country's ruler,

he was exonerated.

0:06:170:06:21

He says he's lost his job

as an electrician in Afghanistan

0:06:210:06:24

and said he has now spent

all his savings on legal

0:06:240:06:27

fees and expenses.

0:06:270:06:28

I had a lot of savings

because I had done six months

0:06:280:06:31

in Afghanistan before that.

0:06:310:06:32

So it was £30,000?

0:06:320:06:34

Everything I've got now is away.

0:06:340:06:37

But I just need to move on,

move forward from it.

0:06:370:06:40

He told reporters he decided

the next few days whether he would

0:06:400:06:43

sue the man who made the complaint.

0:06:430:06:45

But for now, with a cuddle

from his mum, it's time to go home.

0:06:450:06:54

The Brexit Secretary David Davis

will face scrutiny from MPs shortly.

0:06:550:06:58

Mr Davis will be questioned about

developments in the European Union

0:06:580:07:00

divorce talks amid claims he has

held up progress

0:07:000:07:03

on crucial exit laws.

0:07:030:07:07

Follows concerns from EU leaders

that there has not been enough

0:07:070:07:12

movement to proceed to the next

stage of talks. We will be live in

0:07:120:07:15

the Commons when we will listen to

David Davis taking questions from

0:07:150:07:18

the Brexit Committee in a few

minutes.

0:07:180:07:24

A second US Republican Senator has

delivered an attack on President

0:07:240:07:26

Trump, accusing him of damaging US

politics. Following Bob Corker, Jeff

0:07:260:07:34

Flake criticised his behaviour and

said he would not seek reselection.

0:07:340:07:39

We must never meekly accept

the daily sundering of our country,

0:07:390:07:43

the personal attacks,

the threats against

0:07:430:07:44

principles, freedoms and

institutions, the flagrant disregard

0:07:440:07:46

for truth and decency, the reckless

provocations, most often

0:07:460:07:48

for the pettiest and

most personal reasons.

0:07:480:07:54

All new and refurbished

schools in the UK should be

0:08:030:08:05

fitted with sprinklers,

fire chiefs have told the BBC.

0:08:050:08:07

Currently, sprinklers are mandatory

in new school buildings

0:08:070:08:09

in Scotland and Wales,

but not in England

0:08:090:08:11

and Northern Ireland.

0:08:110:08:12

Graham Satchell reports.

0:08:120:08:14

Fire at Rift House Primary

School in Hartlepool.

0:08:150:08:18

It happened on a Sunday

evening last May.

0:08:180:08:21

I just saw smoke and then

when I looked over my back garden

0:08:210:08:24

fence, it was just fire.

0:08:240:08:27

I think I was terrified.

0:08:280:08:31

There are around 700 school

fires a year in England.

0:08:330:08:35

This one completely destroyed

the nursing building.

0:08:350:08:38

Like the vast majority

of schools, 95%, there was no

0:08:380:08:40

sprinkler system here.

0:08:400:08:44

Fitting sprinklers in

new and refurbished schools is now

0:08:440:08:46

mandatory in Scotland and Wales,

not so in England

0:08:460:08:48

and Northern Ireland.

0:08:480:08:52

Last year, the Department

for Education in England consulted

0:08:520:08:54

on new draft guidance.

0:08:540:08:56

It said, "Building regulations don't

require the installation

0:08:560:08:58

of sprinklers so the guidance

would no longer include

0:08:580:09:00

an expectation that most new school

buildings will be fitted with them".

0:09:000:09:03

Do you think Grenfell

has changed everything?

0:09:030:09:08

Absolutely.

0:09:080:09:09

I think it will change everything

and quite rightly so.

0:09:090:09:15

Dany Cotton led the Fire Service

response at Grenfell Tower.

0:09:150:09:17

She says she was appalled

when the draft guidance

0:09:170:09:20

came out last year.

0:09:200:09:21

I thought it was outrageous.

0:09:210:09:22

I just thought how can we play

with children's lives like that?

0:09:220:09:25

I just do not understand why it

wouldn't be made compulsory,

0:09:250:09:27

and made a requirement to fit

sprinklers in schools at a new-build

0:09:270:09:30

stage and what I don't want to see

is a very large school fire to be

0:09:300:09:34

the thing that brings

about that change.

0:09:340:09:36

In the days following the fire

at Grenfell Tower, the Government's

0:09:360:09:39

draft guidance was withdrawn.

0:09:390:09:40

So the current guidance says this,

"All new schools should have fire

0:09:400:09:43

sprinklers installed,

except in a few low risk schools".

0:09:430:09:49

And yet, figures from

the Government's own schools

0:09:490:09:51

building programme show that

of the 260 schools built since 2014,

0:09:510:09:53

only 74 have sprinklers, that's 28%.

0:09:530:10:00

Typically we don't always fit

sprinklers in schools

0:10:000:10:02

because there are other ways

of making sure that

0:10:020:10:04

schools are fire safe.

0:10:040:10:08

Andrew works for a construction

company that builds new schools

0:10:080:10:11

like this just finished

library in London.

0:10:110:10:16

With budgets tight, he says schools

can be designed to be low fire

0:10:160:10:19

risk with exit routes,

fire doors and re-enforced walls.

0:10:190:10:22

I think if there was more money

involved in school buildings I'd be

0:10:220:10:25

looking at the need for new school

places around the country,

0:10:250:10:27

the bits of the school estate

which are in really poor condition

0:10:270:10:30

rather than that sprinklers

was the first call.

0:10:300:10:35

Pupils are safe in

their schools today.

0:10:350:10:40

Back in Hartlepool, the destroyed

building has been cleared and plans

0:10:400:10:43

are being made for its replacement.

0:10:430:10:45

When this building is rebuilt,

will it be fitted with sprinklers?

0:10:450:10:49

Having seen what fires can

actually do to a school,

0:10:490:10:51

without a shadow of a doubt it

would be something that I would be

0:10:510:10:55

considering for any future building

work on a school site.

0:10:550:10:59

In a statement the Department

for Education in England told us,

0:10:590:11:02

"The safety of children

is our priority and where a risk

0:11:020:11:05

assessment recommends sprinklers

they must be installed".

0:11:050:11:09

Fire chiefs say that's not good

enough and fitting sprinklers

0:11:090:11:11

in new schools should now be

mandatory in all parts of the UK.

0:11:110:11:17

The social media giant Twitter has

announced new rules about how it

0:11:240:11:26

displays political adverts.

0:11:260:11:28

The move follows claims

that the platform was used

0:11:280:11:30

to try to influence last year's

US presidential election.

0:11:300:11:32

Twitter's ads will now clearly

show who funded them,

0:11:320:11:34

how much was spent and which users

are being targeted.

0:11:340:11:38

Lloyds Banking Group has

seen its pre-tax profits more

0:11:380:11:41

than double in the three

months to September.

0:11:410:11:45

The bank returned to private

ownership in May, nine years after

0:11:500:11:53

it was bailed out by the government

at the height of the financial

0:11:530:11:56

crisis.

0:11:560:11:57

The Chinese President Xi Jinping has

revealed his new senior

0:11:570:11:59

leadership committee.

0:11:590:12:01

The five new appointments were made

to the Politburo Standing Committee,

0:12:010:12:03

China's most powerful body.

0:12:030:12:04

The president has broken

with tradition by not including

0:12:040:12:06

an obvious successor,

which has raised questions over how

0:12:060:12:09

long Mr Xi intends to rule.

0:12:090:12:17

That is a summary of the latest

news. More at 9:30am. Coming up,

0:12:170:12:25

could a new approach change how

cyberstalking is dealt with? Do get

0:12:360:12:38

Let's get some sport.

0:12:380:12:39

Olly Foster is with us this morning.

0:12:390:12:43

Lots of football last night, Olly.

0:12:430:12:44

A couple of scares for the big clubs

and it doesn't get any

0:12:440:12:47

better for Crystal Palace?

0:12:470:12:50

It doesn't. They are bottom of the

Premier League. We had six League

0:12:500:12:54

Cup matches last night. Fair to say

that it is bottom of most clubs

0:12:540:12:58

lists of priorities when it comes to

looking at the whole season. Alice

0:12:580:13:01

have bigger fish to fry. They were

up against the Championship side

0:13:010:13:06

Bristol city. They lost 4-1. They

took the lead as well. It is easy to

0:13:060:13:10

gauge how serious the clubs take

this competition by looking at how

0:13:100:13:13

many changes they make from their

last match in the league. Palace

0:13:130:13:19

made nine. 12 teams were playing

last night. We added up all of the

0:13:190:13:24

changes and 99, would you believe?

Do the maths, just over eight from

0:13:240:13:29

each team ahead of the League Cup

matches. Arsenal changed their

0:13:290:13:34

entire team against Norwich. They

actually won. It only came after

0:13:340:13:38

extra time when they needed their

teenager to bail them out. He got

0:13:380:13:42

his first goals for the club, the

equaliser in the last couple of

0:13:420:13:45

minutes to take it to extra time and

then the winner. There were wins for

0:13:450:13:50

Bournemouth and Leicester, a couple

of other Premier League teams going

0:13:500:13:52

through. Manchester United,

remember, they are the League Cup

0:13:520:13:57

winners from last season. Jesse

Lingard scored in the Wembley final

0:13:570:13:59

and he scored a couple last night at

the liberty stadium as they beat

0:13:590:14:03

Swansea to move into the

quarterfinals. It is the first time

0:14:030:14:07

he has scored twice in a match,

which I found surprising. Jose

0:14:070:14:11

Mourinho's 400th game in English

football as well. 13 years after he

0:14:110:14:16

started making waves at Chelsea.

Also last night, leaders Manchester

0:14:160:14:21

City needed penalties to get past

the Championship leaders Wolves.

0:14:210:14:27

City through, but the manager was

not happy?

No, talking about how

0:14:270:14:33

much managers like this competition,

obviously they are at the top of the

0:14:330:14:37

Premier League, going great guns in

Europe as well. In the last round,

0:14:370:14:40

when they enter the condition, the

called the cup a waste of energy.

0:14:400:14:46

You can get into the Europa League

by winning it, but Manchester City

0:14:460:14:49

will probably get into the Champions

League anyway, so he let slip what

0:14:490:14:53

he thought about it. He had

something curious to say, yes, they

0:14:530:14:56

are through, but why was he not

happy? The ball. It is not the ball

0:14:560:15:02

Premier League teams use, because it

is the League Cup, it is the one the

0:15:020:15:07

Championship, League 1 and League 2

teams use. Not around enough?

0:15:070:15:10

Apparently it was too light and did

all sorts of things in the air. Here

0:15:100:15:15

he is.

It is unacceptable to play

with the ball. It is not a serious

0:15:150:15:21

ball for a professional game. It is

not acceptable for the high level of

0:15:210:15:24

the competition.

The players were

complaining, they were talking

0:15:240:15:28

about?

The players complained, they

didn't play football. Unfortunately

0:15:280:15:34

for you, because it was magnificent

players. I assure you, all of them

0:15:340:15:38

say, what is that?

0:15:380:15:45

What is that? It is a ball, Pep

Guardiola. They will have to play

0:15:450:15:49

with it again in the next round.

Interesting, so, a light ball.

0:15:490:15:56

Staying with football, a really nice

story has emerged from last weekend

0:15:560:16:01

to do with Huddersfield?

Yes,

Huddersfield, newly promoted, they

0:16:010:16:06

beat the mighty Manchester United,

Jose Mourinho's first defeat of the

0:16:060:16:11

season, 2-1 to them. Adam Banner who

is five went to the match with his

0:16:110:16:19

dad, he found £5 on the floor, his

dad said to him, don't keep what is

0:16:190:16:25

not ours so he wrote a letter to one

of the club directors and Aaron Moy

0:16:250:16:31

was one of the scorers and he said

he wanted him to keep the £5 because

0:16:310:16:36

he played very well and scored.

Apparently Aaron Moy now wants to

0:16:360:16:42

meet the little boy and say thank

you, probably give him the fiver

0:16:420:16:46

back, I would have thought. The most

remarkable thing, Tina, who write

0:16:460:16:51

letters these days? I've never seen

anything like it.

That's a lovely

0:16:510:16:56

story. Ollie, thank you very much.

0:16:560:17:02

In the next half hour,

the Brexit Secretary will sit down

0:17:020:17:05

in front of senior MPs and face

questions about progress

0:17:050:17:07

in negotiations with the EU.

0:17:070:17:08

David Davies is giving evidence

to the Brexit committee -

0:17:080:17:11

amid complaints from EU leaders

that there simply isn't enough

0:17:110:17:13

forward motion for them

to move on to trade talks.

0:17:130:17:16

Our political correspondent

Ben Wright is in

0:17:160:17:17

Westminster for us now.

0:17:170:17:18

What can we expect to happen today?

For bands of Brexit related select

0:17:180:17:25

committees, today is Christmas.

First we have David Davis and then

0:17:250:17:30

we have kissed armour being quizzed

later on. There will then be a

0:17:300:17:34

hearing on customs relations after

Brexit this afternoon as well. It

0:17:340:17:38

starts with David Davis and the key

question is, he needs to make the

0:17:380:17:42

next move to move the deadlocked

breakfast -- Brexit talks on?

0:17:420:17:48

Yesterday, Donald Tusk said it was

all down to the UK to move this

0:17:480:17:51

forward. There is obviously a big

stopping point about money. The EU

0:17:510:17:56

wants the UK to be much clearer

about the amount of money they are

0:17:560:17:59

prepared to put on the table before

they will discuss trade. I imagine

0:17:590:18:03

that will be one of the key issues

David Davis will be grilled by MPs.

0:18:030:18:08

I think he is speaking now.

We would

seek to maintain them. I think I

0:18:080:18:13

told you last time there have

already been a considerable number

0:18:130:18:18

of discussions with them, the

existing ones, to look at

0:18:180:18:23

grandfathering anyway, in any event.

All the big ones, I think, have

0:18:230:18:28

said, and this is second down from

Liam Fox, of course, is that they

0:18:280:18:32

are interested in doing that. Some

want to improve them but that will

0:18:320:18:36

take time. There are also the

comments form by Minister Shinzo Abe

0:18:360:18:42

about the future economic

partnership with Japan. They want

0:18:420:18:45

that to continue with us and from

Justin Trudeau, the Canadian

0:18:450:18:50

arrangement would continue with us

as well.

But would it be us asking

0:18:500:18:55

those countries, can we carry on on

this basis or would it be the EU

0:18:550:19:00

saying, we are asking for Britain to

be allowed to continue to access

0:19:000:19:04

these deals, because that is an

important distinction?

It could be

0:19:040:19:09

either or both and that is what my

caveat comes down to. It depends on

0:19:090:19:13

the guidelines given to the

commission by the council.

OK. What

0:19:130:19:17

happened to the members see the

Common fisheries policy during this

0:19:170:19:21

time?

Would we still be bound by it?

Again, that is a negotiating issue.

0:19:210:19:27

The problem is they would be quota

setting during that period, so we

0:19:270:19:30

have to have a resolution to that.

We have not come to a policy

0:19:300:19:35

conclusion.

You haven't come to a

conclusion. Fine. Would we accept

0:19:350:19:39

the jurisdiction of the ECJ?

Certainly initially. Their phase is

0:19:390:19:47

settling period we say in limitation

period. By the end of it, we want to

0:19:470:19:51

be under alternative administration

but we need to talk to the

0:19:510:19:57

commission about that.

By the end of

it, you mean at the end of the

0:19:570:20:01

limitation period? You would then

move on to the new arrangement which

0:20:010:20:12

may have a new court representing

both parties? If you think length of

0:20:120:20:19

the implementation period, the EU

has been quite clear...

Michel

0:20:190:20:22

Barnier has been clear but we

haven't heard from the council yet.

0:20:220:20:27

The point about the next two and a

half months is that the council will

0:20:270:20:31

come to its conclusions and the

commission will draw from them.

But

0:20:310:20:35

I thought, Secretary of State, you

say we haven't heard from the

0:20:350:20:39

council, but I thought the council

was quite clear in its negotiating

0:20:390:20:43

guidelines it gave to Michel

Barnier.

In the first round, are you

0:20:430:20:47

talking about?

That any period of

transition...

They haven't given an

0:20:470:20:55

implementation period guidance yet.

The final one will be in December.

0:20:550:21:03

Right, so things like the open skies

agreement, membership of the

0:21:030:21:07

aviation authority, or of those

things would continue to operate as

0:21:070:21:13

now?

I would expect so.

You would

expect so. That is extremely

0:21:130:21:20

helpful. Access to the Schengen

information system, which is vital

0:21:200:21:26

to our security?

I would expect all

security and home affairs issues to

0:21:260:21:29

continue.

One very specific

question. Do you know yet what fees

0:21:290:21:36

would be charged to EU students

starting courses in September 2019?

0:21:360:21:44

Would they be home students or

overseas students?

We have at every

0:21:440:21:48

turn treated them as home for

purposes of the setting and for

0:21:480:21:55

loans, so we treat them as home so

far and I wouldn't see that would

0:21:550:22:01

change in 2019.

Thereafter, it

might. That would be very helpful

0:22:010:22:06

for universities because they have

deepened their prospectuses next

0:22:060:22:10

spring.

Ironically, and forgive me

if I have said it before, it was one

0:22:100:22:14

of the miracles of the best August

that we got the Treasury and the

0:22:140:22:18

Department for Education to agree to

change those things very rapidly

0:22:180:22:23

first thing and thereafter.

I am

sure further miracles will be

0:22:230:22:27

required before this process is

over. Can I turn to the timing of

0:22:270:22:34

all of this? Because the Prime

Minister seemed to suggest recently

0:22:340:22:38

that agreeing the deep and

comprehensive partnership will in

0:22:380:22:44

some way have to happen before the

implementation period is agreed.

If

0:22:440:22:48

that indeed the case? Yes, what we

are aiming for is the conclusion of

0:22:480:22:55

negotiations on all fronts on the

grounds that not everything is

0:22:550:23:01

agreed by the end of March 20 19. So

in effect, that is the case. So,

0:23:010:23:09

yes, in principle, but she said in

the chamber is correct. Follow the

0:23:090:23:17

question on and I will take it from

there.

The Prime Minister appeared

0:23:170:23:22

to suggest that deep and competence

partnership would have to come

0:23:220:23:27

before the agreement of the

implementation period and this led

0:23:270:23:30

to some comment and consternation,

because I think all of us had

0:23:300:23:34

assumed it was the other way round.

You get the transition

0:23:340:23:38

implementation period first and then

you get...

I am at risk of

0:23:380:23:43

misleading you, so let me get it

exactly right. What we are intending

0:23:430:23:47

to do is get the form of the

implementation period agreed quickly

0:23:470:23:55

in December, but we want to conclude

the overall negotiation, whatever

0:23:550:23:59

the outcome might be, by the end of

March 20 19.

Right.

There are a

0:23:590:24:09

number of reasons for that. One of

them is, what is the implementation

0:24:090:24:14

period taking you towards? Are we

going from where we are now to a

0:24:140:24:21

free-trade agreement? Are we going

from where we are now to what you

0:24:210:24:24

might call a bare-bones agreement

which is a WTO plus agreement? You

0:24:240:24:30

need to know where you are going.

Right, so you would agree and giving

0:24:300:24:36

what you have just said, when the

Chancellor gave evidence recently to

0:24:360:24:44

the Treasury Select Committee,

described transitional agreement as

0:24:440:24:46

a wasting asset, very valuable now,

but by next summer its value to

0:24:460:24:52

everybody would diminish

significantly.

He is right. There

0:24:520:24:54

are three reasons, it's not an

entirely wasted asset, there are

0:24:540:24:59

three reasons for the

instrumentation period. Number one,

0:24:590:25:06

not in order of importance, number

one, in order to give the UK

0:25:060:25:14

Government longer to put changes in

place. We think we can get all the

0:25:140:25:18

critical ones in place by March 2019

but it would give us longer and make

0:25:180:25:22

it more reliable. Secondly and

critically, give European countries

0:25:220:25:27

time to put in place any structures

they need to put in place, whether

0:25:270:25:31

that is new customs arrangements,

new data exchange arrangements,

0:25:310:25:35

whatever. And thirdly, and this is

the point that the Chancellor is

0:25:350:25:40

making, to give businesses time

after the decision is made on what

0:25:400:25:46

the final outcome will be in order

to make any subsequent changes to

0:25:460:25:50

their own dispositions. The most

obvious example, American banks who

0:25:500:25:53

are the most sensitive to these

things, would not have to make a

0:25:530:25:59

decision on worst-case outcome is it

worth today. They would know broadly

0:25:590:26:04

what it would be before they need to

move. That is the bit that is a

0:26:040:26:09

wasting asset. The longer they have

on that, the more they will feel

0:26:090:26:13

they have deep move before knowing

the outcome.

That is why the select

0:26:130:26:21

committee observed we thought there

would need to be transitional

0:26:210:26:24

arrangements.

May I say, I don't

mean to be critical, you said in the

0:26:240:26:28

chamber at one point that she

welcomed the foreign statement

0:26:280:26:31

because it showed we were taking the

limitation period seriously. The

0:26:310:26:38

notion of an implement Asian period

was aired in the Lancaster house

0:26:380:26:43

speech as well. -- the notion of the

limitation period was aired in the

0:26:430:26:47

Lancaster house speech as well.

Indeed it was.

0:26:470:26:59

You have said you think an agreement

can be made by March 20 19. Do you

0:27:010:27:06

really think everything can be done

in 12 months?

Yes. The arguments

0:27:060:27:13

against, I will lay them again, but

the arguments against tend to be

0:27:130:27:17

that other free-trade agreements are

very different from ours. We start

0:27:170:27:21

with identical regulatory

arrangements, we start with an

0:27:210:27:31

existing virtually 600 billion euro

trade exchange and all the vested

0:27:310:27:38

interests that go with that and the

arrangements that go with that. We

0:27:380:27:44

aim to a comprehensive free-trade

agreement which would be tariff

0:27:440:27:49

free. The customs agreement that

would follow on from that if we

0:27:490:27:53

achieved that would be one whose

primary aim depending on some of the

0:27:530:28:00

other components would be on rules

of origin, on identifying and

0:28:000:28:04

determining whether rules of origin

required it. The bits of the

0:28:040:28:10

agreement which are more regulatory

and more complex tend to be those

0:28:100:28:14

which don't fall within the

free-trade arrangement directly.

0:28:140:28:20

Issues like aviation service

agreements. Issues like data

0:28:200:28:25

exchange. Issues like recognition of

driving licences. Those sorts of

0:28:250:28:34

things. Now, that's a very broad

range of issues and we would have to

0:28:340:28:41

have a significant number of

simultaneous negotiations going on

0:28:410:28:43

on them that they are effectively

independent. They are not

0:28:430:28:47

interdependent. These things become

problematic when you have got to do

0:28:470:28:51

one before you can do another.

The

Brexit Secretary David Davis taking

0:28:510:28:57

questions from the Brexit committee

there. That is likely to go on for

0:28:570:29:00

some time. We can go to Ben Wright

who is still with us and who has

0:29:000:29:04

been watching. Anything significant

in what we have heard so far, then?

0:29:040:29:10

Yes, I think, Tina. They were

rattling through interesting areas

0:29:100:29:13

there. Focusing very much on the

question of what the transition

0:29:130:29:17

period might look like. These are

the two years or so that will follow

0:29:170:29:22

Britain's departure from the EU in

March 2019 and we know the

0:29:220:29:27

government is looking for a

standstill agreement which keeps

0:29:270:29:29

things pretty much as they are at

the moment although we would be out

0:29:290:29:33

of the EU. David Davis was pressed

on what Britain was asking for in

0:29:330:29:37

that deal and he could see that

throughout that period, the European

0:29:370:29:42

Court of Justice judgments may still

apply to the UK. He said we might

0:29:420:29:45

still be members of the common

fisheries policy, he hoped that the

0:29:450:29:50

open skies agreement would remain in

place to keep planes taking off from

0:29:500:29:53

the UK and going to Europe in the

same way that they do at the moment.

0:29:530:29:58

They are looking for continuity bond

that transition agreement although

0:29:580:30:01

as David Davies conceded, it is up

to the EU to decide really how they

0:30:010:30:06

think that transition period might

work by merrily and they are waiting

0:30:060:30:10

for details from the EU which they

hope will come under Samba on that.

0:30:100:30:14

They are hoping to get the broad

outline of that transition agreement

0:30:140:30:18

agreed early in the New Year, which

is something UK businesses are

0:30:180:30:22

desperate to know, but he does also

think that the entire agreement, the

0:30:220:30:29

future trade agreement between the

EU and the UK, can be done by the

0:30:290:30:33

time Britain leads the EU in March

20 19. I think there are many in

0:30:330:30:38

Brussels and here who doubt that,

but David Davis definitely sees this

0:30:380:30:42

transition agreement as being part

of the broader discussion of where

0:30:420:30:46

the trade relationship between the

two is heading long term. I think

0:30:460:30:49

this will be a very interesting

session in the Commons this morning.

0:30:490:30:57

There is another Brexit story doing

the rounds involving universities

0:30:570:31:01

and a letter?

A Tory MP, Chris

Heaton-Harris, has written to

0:31:010:31:05

universities, asking them to give

him details of who in their

0:31:050:31:09

departments is teaching Brexit,

European affairs, and asking for

0:31:090:31:13

links to the courses that they are

teaching, the syllabus. The latter

0:31:130:31:19

emerged yesterday and there was

quite a lot of consternation from

0:31:190:31:22

academics, certainly, who ridiculed

him on Twitter. Lord Patten, Chris

0:31:220:31:29

Patten, the chairman, head of Oxford

University, was incandescent and

0:31:290:31:35

said that it was Leninist idiocy

from Chris Heaton-Harris

0:31:350:31:44

said that it was Leninist idiocy

from Chris Heaton-Harris. Today, the

0:31:440:31:46

Universities Minister came out to

Spain what was going on. Mr Johnston

0:31:460:31:48

said it was not a wise letter to

send, and strongly defended

0:31:480:31:53

University freedom. It is right that

Chris, who is a super cerebral

0:31:530:32:01

member of Parliament was acting as

an MP, rather than a government

0:32:010:32:06

minister or a representative of the

government. And he has a very

0:32:060:32:09

long-standing interest in European

affairs, the history of European

0:32:090:32:12

thought. I have spoken to him and he

was suing inquiries of his own that

0:32:120:32:16

may, in time, leads to a book on

these questions. It was more of an

0:32:160:32:22

academic inquiry, rather than an

attempt to constrain the freedom

0:32:220:32:26

that academics rightly hold.

So,

saying that it was the actions of an

0:32:260:32:33

MP simply curious about how Brexit

was being taught. I think it did

0:32:330:32:39

cause a real row yesterday. Now, Jo

Johnson hoping that he has hosed

0:32:390:32:44

that down by saying that he didn't

think it should have been sent, but

0:32:440:32:48

you should see it in a context of

academic inquiry. We will see if

0:32:480:32:52

that is enough to kill the match

off.

0:32:520:32:56

Still to come, a new approach being

trialled by Bedfordshire Police to

0:33:000:33:05

tackle the growing problem of

cyberstalking. We have had exclusive

0:33:050:33:08

access to find out how it will work.

ASP all business owners tell this

0:33:080:33:12

programme they have instructed

lawyers to bring criminal

0:33:120:33:14

proceedings against RBS, alleging

the bagged afforded -- the bank

0:33:140:33:21

defrauded them.

0:33:210:33:24

Lets get the latest news.

0:33:240:33:29

The Brexit Secretary David Davis

will face scrutiny from MPs shortly.

0:33:290:33:33

Mr Davis will be questioned about

developments in the European Union

0:33:330:33:36

divorce talks amid claims he has

held up progress

0:33:360:33:38

on crucial exit laws.

0:33:380:33:41

Follows concerns from EU leaders

that there has not been enough

0:33:410:33:44

movement to proceed to the next aid

of talks.

We want to conclude the

0:33:440:33:49

overall negotiation, whatever the

outcome may be. We want to do that

0:33:490:33:53

by the end of March 2019. There are

a number of reasons for that. One of

0:33:530:34:00

them is, what are you implement in,

what is the limitation period? --

0:34:000:34:09

what is the implementation period.

Is it going from where we are now to

0:34:090:34:12

a free trade agreement, to a

bare-bones agreement, WTO plus

0:34:120:34:18

agreements on the fundamentals like

aviation? We need to know where we

0:34:180:34:21

go.

MPs are beginning an inquiry

into e-cigarettes, amid concerns

0:34:210:34:27

there are significant gaps in what

is known about them and how they are

0:34:270:34:31

regulated. The Science And

Technology Committee will cut

0:34:310:34:35

effectiveness in stopping smoking

and impact on health. Nearly 3

0:34:350:34:38

million people in the UK now vape

regularly, four times more than

0:34:380:34:44

2012.

0:34:440:34:47

More than half of all British women

have suffered sexual harassment

0:34:470:34:50

at work or their place of study,

according to a survey

0:34:500:34:52

by BBC Radio 5 Live.

0:34:520:34:54

Nearly 70% of those questioned said

they had not reported it. The survey

0:34:540:34:58

of 2000 adults also found a fifth of

men have been sexually harassed.

0:34:580:35:03

An electrician from Stirling

who was facing three months

0:35:030:35:05

in prison in Dubai for public

indecency has spoken of his relief

0:35:050:35:08

at returning home to the UK.

0:35:080:35:09

Jamie Harron was sentenced

for touching a man's

0:35:090:35:11

hip in a crowded bar,

but freed after Dubai's

0:35:110:35:13

ruler intervened.

0:35:130:35:19

Let's get the sport now.

0:35:230:35:29

The Premier League's bottom club

Crystal Palace were beaten by

0:35:290:35:31

Championship side Bristol City

in the league cup.

0:35:310:35:33

Arsenal needed extra

time to get past

0:35:330:35:36

Norwich, Manchester City beat

Championship leaders

0:35:360:35:37

Wolves on penalties.

0:35:370:35:41

Manchester United, the cup holders,

are through to the quarterfinals

0:35:410:35:43

after beating Swansea 2-0.

0:35:450:35:46

Jesse Lingaard scored twice.

0:35:460:35:47

leicester and Bournemouth also

reached the last 8 last

0:35:470:35:49

night.

0:35:490:35:51

There were three matches in

the Scottish Premiership last night.

0:35:510:35:54

Hibs the only winners.

0:35:540:35:56

1-0 in the Edinburgh

derby against Hearts.

0:35:560:35:58

Simon Murray the goalscorer.

0:35:580:35:59

British Cycling says the "door

is open" for former sprinter

0:35:590:36:02

Jess Varnish to return to the sport.

0:36:020:36:07

She made allegations of bullying and

sexual discrimination. He was found

0:36:070:36:16

to have used sexist language.

0:36:160:36:19

And England's women cricketers

are getting ready for the second

0:36:190:36:21

match in their Ashes series

against Australia which gets under

0:36:210:36:24

way early tomorrow morning our time.

0:36:240:36:25

They narrowly lost

their first match.

0:36:250:36:27

We will hear from the England

cricketers after ten.

0:36:270:36:35

New economic growth

figures are just out -

0:36:350:36:37

and they'll have a significant

impact on the Bank of England

0:36:370:36:39

decision on interest rates

which we're expecting next week.

0:36:390:36:42

Let's talk to our economics

correspondent Andy Verity -

0:36:420:36:44

he's got the latest.

0:36:440:36:48

Can you explain these figures and

what impact they might have on

0:36:480:36:51

interest rates and the pound?

The

first headline is that we have 0.4%

0:36:510:36:57

growth in the first quarter of the

year. That is more than most

0:36:570:37:01

economists were expecting. We were

expecting it would be 0.3%. That is

0:37:010:37:08

positive. If you look at the gross

domestic product per head, dividing

0:37:080:37:12

everything we produce in the whole

economy by the number of people in

0:37:120:37:16

it, it has grown by 0.3%. That is

good news, it means that the amount

0:37:160:37:21

we each produce is growing and that

employers might be able to pay a

0:37:210:37:24

wage that goes up faster than

inflation, at least in future. It is

0:37:240:37:28

all upbeat signs. It makes it more

likely that the Bank of England is

0:37:280:37:31

going to raise interest rates back

to the 0.5% level next month.

0:37:310:37:35

Remember, that is still an emergency

level. It is the lowest level in 300

0:37:350:37:39

years. But it does mean for the

first time in more than a decade

0:37:390:37:43

that we are likely to get a rise in

interest rates. Interesting

0:37:430:37:46

dimension is to this, although

services have done well, computer

0:37:460:37:52

games were selling well, if you look

at production it was up, that is

0:37:520:37:56

mining and the oil industry. But

construction, the sad story there.

0:37:560:37:59

That is in recession. We have had

two quarters of economic shrinkage

0:37:590:38:04

in construction. That does not bode

well for the future of the

0:38:040:38:07

construction sector.

0:38:070:38:11

And the increase in cyberstalking,

which can be anything

0:38:110:38:13

from sending too many texts,

to leaving nasty messages

0:38:130:38:16

on your social media pages.

0:38:160:38:19

For some people, it takes 100

different pieces of that type

0:38:190:38:22

of stalking before they'll even

consider going to the police.

0:38:220:38:24

And when they get there,

their problem isn't

0:38:240:38:26

always taken seriously.

0:38:260:38:27

Well, Bedfordshire Police

and the National Centre

0:38:270:38:29

for Cyberstalking Research

are putting together a three

0:38:290:38:31

step programme to help

victims from when they go

0:38:310:38:33

to report their experience,

right through to

0:38:330:38:35

rehabilitating the offender.

0:38:350:38:38

Our reporter Chi Chi Izundu's

been looking into this.

0:38:380:38:40

And we just have to warn

you that there is some language

0:38:400:38:43

in the film which some viewers

might find offensive.

0:38:430:38:46

I met my ex through

a friend of a friend.

0:38:530:38:56

He was known as being quite

a successful, happy, funny kind of

0:38:560:38:59

guy, who people seemed to like.

0:38:590:39:02

This is Helen.

0:39:020:39:06

It's not her real

name or real voice.

0:39:060:39:08

But her story is very true.

0:39:080:39:10

The relationship for the first

year was really good.

0:39:100:39:16

We had lots of fun.

He met my family.

0:39:160:39:18

And everything appeared

as if it was going really well.

0:39:180:39:21

And then slowly things

started to deteriorate and

0:39:210:39:23

there was sort of, now I look back,

subtle signs that actually all

0:39:230:39:26

wasn't as well as it first appeared.

0:39:260:39:28

"To create fear, distress

and disrupt the daily activities of

0:39:290:39:32

another person" - that is stalking.

0:39:320:39:36

Official Home Office

stats are quite sketchy.

0:39:360:39:39

That's because most people don't

actually go and report it.

0:39:390:39:42

And when it comes to

online stalking, the

0:39:420:39:44

numbers are even smaller.

0:39:440:39:45

Less than 10% go to the police.

0:39:450:39:49

The National Stalking

Helpline say so far this

0:39:490:39:51

year they have responded to more

than 2500 calls and e-mails

0:39:510:39:53

from victims.

0:39:530:39:57

Come Christmas, they are expecting

that number to have doubled.

0:39:570:40:02

I suppose one of the most prevalent

sources of stalking is when a

0:40:020:40:05

relationship breaks down.

0:40:050:40:06

There was some research recently

that said that about 80% of

0:40:060:40:14

people after break-ups still check

into your account through a friend's

0:40:140:40:16

account, even if they have been

blocked on Facebook, to see what you

0:40:160:40:19

are up to.

0:40:190:40:21

It was horrific.

0:40:220:40:24

It was the only way

I could describe it.

0:40:240:40:27

So from then on, for the next few

weeks, I was receiving calls,

0:40:270:40:30

e-mails, texts, nonstop.

0:40:300:40:34

One day there was 457 text messages.

0:40:340:40:37

So these text messages

were absolutely vile

0:40:370:40:39

in nature, very abusive.

0:40:390:40:42

He called me a slag.

0:40:420:40:43

How dare I end this?

0:40:430:40:45

Nobody would want me.

0:40:450:40:46

The next message would

be begging for me to

0:40:460:40:48

take him back, to give him a chance.

0:40:480:40:51

These phone calls, texts,

e-mails, went on and on.

0:40:510:40:53

I didn't respond to any of them.

0:40:530:41:01

So then he started texting

and e-mailing and calling my family.

0:41:010:41:04

It then progressed onto he posted

on social media, sort of

0:41:040:41:06

like a lonely hearts column.

0:41:060:41:09

But it was about me.

0:41:090:41:12

It was very vulgar in nature.

0:41:120:41:15

In them he advertised that I had

sexually transmitted infections,

0:41:150:41:18

which was untrue.

0:41:180:41:22

He advertised the fact I had

HIV, which was untrue.

0:41:220:41:27

Dr Emma Short is the director

for the National Centre

0:41:270:41:29

for Cyberstalking Research

at the University of Bedfordshire.

0:41:290:41:32

She says stalkers are using

sophisticated methods like

0:41:320:41:34

hacking computers and phones to get

information on their victims.

0:41:340:41:40

It just doesn't stop.

0:41:400:41:41

It's about the fact

it just doesn't stop.

0:41:410:41:44

And even if the content

of those messages is

0:41:440:41:46

quite banal, it's just an attempt to

have a relationship or to meet you,

0:41:460:41:49

or to get more

information about you.

0:41:490:41:51

It's very intimidating when people

just don't see the stop signs.

0:41:510:42:00

People told me he'd actually

screenshot some of the things he'd

0:42:000:42:02

done and send it to me.

0:42:020:42:04

Almost like a trophy -

"Look what I've done."

0:42:040:42:07

Because even though I'd blocked him

on my phone, I wasn't sure how

0:42:070:42:10

to block him on e-mail.

0:42:100:42:12

That was the time I decided I needed

to go to the police.

0:42:120:42:16

Victims of harassment

and stalking in England

0:42:160:42:18

and Wales are being left at risk...

0:42:180:42:21

..because of failings

by police and prosecutors.

0:42:210:42:25

Later on we are going to hear

from one woman who was

0:42:250:42:27

stalked over a period of five years.

0:42:270:42:29

In that time she made

more than 125 complaints

0:42:290:42:31

to the police, who did little.

0:42:310:42:36

Back in July, police and prosecutors

in England and Wales

0:42:360:42:38

were heavily criticised

by the Inspectorate of Constabulary

0:42:380:42:40

and the Crown Prosecution

Service Inspectorate.

0:42:400:42:45

A report found too many

investigations were poorly run

0:42:450:42:47

and failed to give victims legal

protection, leaving them at risk.

0:42:470:42:56

When I first went to the police,

initially they were quite

0:42:560:42:59

responsive, and they looked

at the information I gave them

0:42:590:43:01

and agreed it wasn't acceptable.

0:43:010:43:06

And they said they were

going to speak to him.

0:43:060:43:08

Now for me in that

position, them going

0:43:080:43:10

to speak to him wasn't

the best thing.

0:43:100:43:14

But I was glad they

were doing something.

0:43:140:43:16

Not once was stalking

mentioned to me.

0:43:160:43:17

Not even though all of

these phone calls and

0:43:170:43:20

approaching family members

and friends were still going on.

0:43:200:43:22

Plus the social media postings.

0:43:220:43:27

Plus him driving past my work,

driving past my house.

0:43:270:43:30

Even when I was with one

of the police officers he was

0:43:300:43:32

repeatedly driving past

my house, and stalking

0:43:320:43:34

was never mentioned to me.

0:43:340:43:35

So he received a caution and he

breached his condition by again

0:43:350:43:38

posting things on social media.

0:43:380:43:39

He tried to communicate

with me directly.

0:43:390:43:47

It was at this point

when I was going back to the police

0:43:470:43:50

repeatedly, I felt I wasn't

really listened to.

0:43:500:43:52

I was getting comments

from the police officer such as,

0:43:520:43:54

"Well, he is from a nice family,

can't you ignore the Facebook stuff?

0:43:540:43:57

Ask your friends not to show

it to you any more."

0:43:570:44:00

And advising me not

to use social media.

0:44:000:44:02

That was the response

I got from the police.

0:44:020:44:04

There were times and I was ringing

the nonemergency line to report

0:44:040:44:07

things that were happening.

0:44:070:44:08

Sometimes I would have

to wait up to two weeks,

0:44:080:44:10

in some cases usually around five

to seven days, for an appointment.

0:44:100:44:13

"Not acceptable" -

that is how this report described

0:44:130:44:15

experiences like Helen's, even

when it came to going to the police.

0:44:150:44:18

Victim blaming and the number

of prosecutions were all criticised.

0:44:180:44:21

But Dr Short is working with

Bedfordshire Police on a three step

0:44:210:44:24

programme to try and change this.

0:44:240:44:25

Firstly, front line officers will

get a risk assessment at the first

0:44:250:44:28

point of a complaint.

0:44:280:44:29

Secondly, helping victims record

abuse via a special app.

0:44:290:44:31

And thirdly, tackling

the behaviour itself.

0:44:310:44:34

Other forces will be

watching with interest.

0:44:340:44:38

One of the things that we

think is a necessary

0:44:380:44:40

gap to fill at the moment is a quick

response from people who are not

0:44:400:44:44

IT advanced.

0:44:440:44:47

To understand when someone reports

a case, what constitutes

0:44:470:44:49

a higher risk than others.

And it's very hard.

0:44:490:44:51

If you aren't online

yourself, but also if you're

0:44:510:44:54

listening to a phone call

with someone who perhaps isn't

0:44:540:44:56

communicating the level, they are

just communicating the content, it's

0:44:560:44:58

very hard to assess.

0:44:580:45:02

Emma and her team have

written specific questions

0:45:020:45:08

with front line officers

to determine the level of risk a

0:45:080:45:10

stalker could potentially

pose to evict them.

0:45:100:45:14

On average it takes about three

months before somebody

0:45:150:45:17

will go to the police, roughly.

0:45:170:45:21

And they tend to put up

with about a hundred

0:45:210:45:24

bits of behaviour -

so, a hundred texts,

0:45:240:45:26

a hundred e-mails,

a hundred approaches.

0:45:260:45:40

So that first trip to

the police station, where

0:45:400:45:42

you actually report this comment

is crucial, because the response

0:45:420:45:45

you get from the police officers,

if that is negative,

0:45:450:45:47

or they trivialise it,

you may not go back again.

0:45:470:45:49

Some cases have often

been described as

0:45:490:45:51

murder in slow motion.

0:45:510:45:52

Professionals often talk

about stalking as the

0:45:520:45:54

only crime a victim has

to collect their own evidence.

0:45:540:45:56

Dr Short and her team

are hoping this special app

0:45:560:45:59

can help with that.

0:45:590:46:00

When I, as the victim,

get the app, can you explain

0:46:000:46:02

how it works?

0:46:020:46:03

OK, so once you get the app...

0:46:030:46:05

Victims deemed as media risk

will have to get a special

0:46:050:46:08

login code before they are given

access to the app, and they will

0:46:080:46:11

only get that a front line

officers think they should.

0:46:110:46:13

Evidence is things

like phone calls, screen

0:46:130:46:15

shots, videos, sound recordings.

0:46:150:46:16

It also captures

the meta data, so the

0:46:160:46:19

information of coding

behind the messages -

0:46:190:46:22

websites, videos -

and that all can be

0:46:220:46:24

used to help police

track down the offender.

0:46:240:46:26

And we can start recording

the screen and they

0:46:260:46:32

can navigate away from the app.

0:46:320:46:36

We are going to be

recording everything

0:46:360:46:38

that is happening on the screen.

0:46:380:46:39

So if we open another app,

we're going to be capturing this.

0:46:390:46:42

Stop record.

There we go.

0:46:420:46:43

There is a screenshot.

0:46:430:46:44

We have now attached

that to our package.

0:46:440:46:46

Once you've got it all,

you can make notes to say how this

0:46:460:46:50

particular evidence has affected us.

0:46:500:46:51

Then you can upload it.

0:46:510:46:54

So if the phone is lost, stolen

or tampered with, that data

0:46:540:46:57

is preserved,

the evidence is preserved.

0:46:570:47:01

Each piece of evidence gathered goes

directly to a police

0:47:010:47:03

database, so officers can build up

the severity of the case.

0:47:030:47:09

This is someone who

is putting time and

0:47:090:47:11

investment and hours

into causing and distress.

0:47:110:47:15

At that point you are looking

at someone who has become fixated.

0:47:150:47:18

And that is the highest end of risk.

0:47:180:47:21

I can't even go into our local

town or supermarket,

0:47:210:47:24

because he is well known

where we live and people like him.

0:47:240:47:31

But when I walked into

the supermarket a few

0:47:310:47:33

weeks after it happened, I noticed

people who were looking at me,

0:47:330:47:36

making comments.

0:47:360:47:37

I knew these were

people who knew him.

0:47:370:47:39

That was really, really

tough to live through.

0:47:390:47:41

But the problem about securing

convictions still remains.

0:47:410:47:45

For Detective Inspector

Chris Beresford, it

0:47:450:47:46

isn't just about the punishment.

0:47:460:47:48

It is also about

treating the behaviour.

0:47:480:47:50

The third piece of work

is a restorative justice space

0:47:500:47:54

outcome, so that we can

deal with the offenders

0:47:540:47:57

for cyberstalking and harassing,

and we can address why

0:47:570:48:01

they are committing crimes,

try to get to bottom of them

0:48:010:48:05

understanding the actual massive

impact their crimes

0:48:050:48:06

have on their victims.

0:48:060:48:09

And that job could fall to Dr Frank

Farnham, a consultant

0:48:090:48:13

forensic psychiatrist, who is part

of the UK's only stalking

0:48:130:48:15

rehabilitation centre.

0:48:150:48:18

Whether rehabilitation

is possible though,

0:48:180:48:19

is a different matter.

0:48:190:48:22

There are some

individuals who are so

0:48:220:48:23

entrenched and ingrained

in their behaviour,

0:48:230:48:26

they will not make a change.

0:48:260:48:31

And you have to accept the fact

it's going to be a group that

0:48:310:48:34

will not want to engage

in treatment at all.

0:48:340:48:36

But this is a behaviour that

the offenders reoffend at such a

0:48:360:48:39

high rate, that even if you make

a small change in the reoffending

0:48:390:48:42

rate, that would be

quite a lot of offending

0:48:420:48:44

that you would be changing.

0:48:440:48:45

It made me feel

like I was worthless.

0:48:450:48:47

I'm sort of a very strong,

independent, bubbly sort of person.

0:48:470:48:52

I try to see the best of everything.

0:48:520:48:54

That situation was the hardest

thing I've ever had to go

0:48:540:48:57

through, and I was

very angry at him.

0:48:570:48:59

I was determined I was

going to get through it.

0:48:590:49:05

After 10, we'll be speaking

to a victim of cyberstalking

0:49:050:49:07

and a police and crime commissioner

who wants to change her force's

0:49:070:49:10

response to stalking victims.

0:49:100:49:20

A group of small business owners

have exclusively told this programme

0:49:220:49:25

they have instructed barristers

to bring criminal proceedings

0:49:250:49:27

against RBS - alleging

the bank defrauded them

0:49:270:49:29

and caused their businesses to fail.

0:49:290:49:30

The Financial Conduct Authority

is already considering whether it

0:49:300:49:33

can take action against RBS after it

published a summary of its report

0:49:330:49:36

on the bank's controversial

Global Restructuring Group.

0:49:360:49:37

The group was found to have

"widespread" mistreatment

0:49:370:49:39

of customers with the FCA report

identifying that 92% of viable

0:49:390:49:42

businesses handled by GRG suffered

"inappropriate action".

0:49:420:49:44

RBS said it has acknowledged

failings and has apologised

0:49:440:49:46

for its mistakes.

0:49:460:49:47

In recent days, the Royal Bank

of Scotland's past treatment of its

0:49:470:49:50

small and medium-sized business

customers has come under fresh

0:49:500:49:52

scrutiny.

So what's it all about?

0:49:520:49:53

Well, back in 2014, the businessman

and former government adviser,

0:49:530:49:56

Lawrence Tomlinson, alleged

that the bank had deliberately

0:49:560:49:58

wrecked small businesses

to make profit, prompting

0:49:580:49:59

a review by the regulator

of the Financial Conduct Authority.

0:49:590:50:02

On Monday, an interim

report published

0:50:020:50:05

by the FCA did identify a number

of failings by the bank,

0:50:050:50:07

such as interest charges

being raised inappropriately,

0:50:070:50:09

and unnecessary

fees being added.

0:50:090:50:10

The report said that 92%

of potentially viable

0:50:100:50:12

businesses faced instances

of inappropriate treatment by the

0:50:120:50:14

Global Restructuring Group,

the division of RBS that dealt with

0:50:140:50:17

struggling firms.

0:50:170:50:19

It also said that RBS had

failed to handle customer

0:50:190:50:21

complaints fairly, and failed

to support businesses in a way that

0:50:210:50:24

made industry standards.

0:50:240:50:26

The unit was said to

have been insensitive,

0:50:260:50:29

dismissive and sometimes unduly

aggressive towards struggling

0:50:290:50:31

business owners.

0:50:310:50:33

But RBS said that some

of the most serious allegations

0:50:330:50:36

against the bank were not

upheld by the regulator,

0:50:360:50:40

and that the way the bank operator

has been completely

0:50:400:50:43

changed since the alleged

mistreatment took place.

0:50:430:50:47

The bank has put

aside £400 million to

0:50:470:50:50

compensate small businesses,

but the FCA has warned RBS may

0:50:500:50:53

face further action.

0:50:530:50:55

With many small businesses

still awaiting compensation

0:50:550:50:57

payments, the bank is still very far

from being in the clear.

0:50:570:51:00

The Financial Conduct Authority has

said it might take further action

0:51:060:51:10

over the way the Royal Bank of

Scotland mistreated some small

0:51:100:51:13

business customers. But does that go

far enough? Some of those small

0:51:130:51:18

business customers have exclusively

told this programme may have

0:51:180:51:22

addressed lawyers.

0:51:220:51:28

Let's talk now to Neil Mitchell.

0:51:280:51:30

He's leading the group of business

owners who've been affected

0:51:300:51:32

by the Global Restructuring Group.

0:51:320:51:33

Also Bill Esterson, Labour's Shadow

Business Minister who has called

0:51:330:51:39

for a judge-led inquiry,

and Clive May - his

0:51:390:51:44

bricklaying business went

into liquidation as a result

0:51:440:51:46

of GRG.

0:51:460:51:49

Brill, you have been pretty clear

that you want to judge that enquiry

0:51:490:51:53

into this.

How wide-ranging should

it be? People lost their businesses,

0:51:530:51:59

family life was torn apart and in

some cases, people took their lives,

0:51:590:52:02

so we have to get to the bottom of

what happened. We have got to

0:52:020:52:07

establish the whole truth and back

can only happen with the judge

0:52:070:52:09

leading quietly. I have also got

people coming to meet from other

0:52:090:52:14

banks who have experienced similar

unacceptable inappropriate treatment

0:52:140:52:16

and that is why a judge needs to

look at this filly, so that we can

0:52:160:52:22

repair the damage and move on so

that trust can be re-established

0:52:220:52:26

between smaller businesses and the

banks. Look, you quoted the report.

0:52:260:52:33

Something in the full report, the

BBC have already reported, this was

0:52:330:52:38

part of an intended, co-ordinated

strategy and management really, if

0:52:380:52:42

they didn't know, they certainly

should have known what was going on

0:52:420:52:45

and what we have seen so far is a

good step forward. We need to see

0:52:450:52:49

the full report and it will only be

with a full judge led enquiry that

0:52:490:52:53

we will get to the bottom of this,

and this culture of inappropriate

0:52:530:52:58

treatment, of putting profit first

ahead of the lives and livelihoods

0:52:580:53:01

of business people up and down the

land.

The Royal Bank of Scotland

0:53:010:53:06

have apologised, they have set aside

£440 million that have already given

0:53:060:53:12

at £100 billion whether

compensation. You don't think that

0:53:120:53:17

goes far enough?

No, because -- £100

million worth of compensation. You

0:53:170:53:21

don't think that goes far enough?

No, because people want justice,

0:53:210:53:27

confirmation of what was done to

them. The report talks about

0:53:270:53:32

distressed businesses being taken

into this group but we have to look

0:53:320:53:37

at why these businesses were

distressed. I know of businesses

0:53:370:53:40

where their overdraft facilities

were stopped overnight, they

0:53:400:53:43

couldn't repay it and that is why

they became distressed and went into

0:53:430:53:48

the global restructuring group in

the first place. We have got to get

0:53:480:53:51

the whole thing out there, clean up

what happened in the past and make

0:53:510:53:54

sure it cannot carry on, because I

have also got people telling us it

0:53:540:53:59

is still going on today at more than

one bank. We have got to get to the

0:53:590:54:03

bottom of it and I think a judge is

the only way of doing that.

Where do

0:54:030:54:07

you stand on criminal proceedings?

The police are already looking at

0:54:070:54:11

this. I think that is highly

significant.

Significant, but what

0:54:110:54:17

do you think in terms of criminal

proceedings?

I think when there is

0:54:170:54:22

an investigation going on, it is

inappropriate for me to comment

0:54:220:54:25

further but I think it shows that

things are happening. We have got a

0:54:250:54:30

police investigation, lawyers being

instructed and I think that is part

0:54:300:54:36

of building a full picture of what

happened.

I think it is about

0:54:360:54:41

whether it is appropriate to go down

that route because there are

0:54:410:54:44

questions around motive, was there a

native or was it poor management?

0:54:440:54:49

Are we talking about dishonesty or

mismanagement?

The report has said

0:54:490:55:01

this was part of a co-ordinated

strategy and that tells me and I

0:55:010:55:06

think it tells everyone there is a

need to get this out in the open

0:55:060:55:10

with full disclosure.

Do you think,

as you have said, many people's

0:55:100:55:14

lives have been ruined, people have

taken their own lives, do you think

0:55:140:55:19

individuals involved should be held

accountable?

Absolutely and that is

0:55:190:55:24

why the full truth has to come out.

We have got to establish exactly

0:55:240:55:28

what happened beyond any reasonable

doubt will stop at the moment, we've

0:55:280:55:34

got partial disclosure with this

interim report. The full report

0:55:340:55:37

needs to come out as well. The

interim report's author has called

0:55:370:55:43

for the full report to be published.

That has got to happen, too.

So this

0:55:430:55:49

isn't just a truth seeking exercise?

Criminal investigations would be

0:55:490:55:57

necessary as well.

That isn't for me

to say. Before we have a clear

0:55:570:56:03

picture, we can't move forward, we

can't access finance properly in

0:56:030:56:10

this country. John McDonald talked

about maybe using RBS as a way to

0:56:100:56:15

set up a network of regional

development banks, using our

0:56:150:56:19

national investment bank model and

maybe that's what needs to come out

0:56:190:56:23

of this, but that is further down

the line, that is one option. The

0:56:230:56:27

reality is that this has all got to

come out because what has happened

0:56:270:56:31

to thousands and thousands of people

and businesses is just plain wrong

0:56:310:56:35

and it has got to be sorted out.

OK,

I want to bring you kneel next. You

0:56:350:56:41

represent a lot of people you have

been affected by this. Can you tell

0:56:410:56:44

us what you are planning in terms of

legal action?

We are planning to

0:56:440:56:50

raise a private criminal prosecution

on the basis that there has been a

0:56:500:56:53

failure of the state to investigate.

We learned last week that police in

0:56:530:56:57

Scotland are investigating a number

of cases. RBS are trying to minimise

0:56:570:57:02

it, saying it is only one. It is a

number. I am also aware that police

0:57:020:57:08

forces in Belfast, Manchester and

North Wales are looking into cases.

0:57:080:57:12

Neither police force, the City of

London Police or the Met police in

0:57:120:57:17

the London bubble are investigating

any cases at all. We believe this is

0:57:170:57:21

a failure of the state to

investigate RBS so we are now

0:57:210:57:25

launching a private criminal

prosecution with 11 case examples

0:57:250:57:29

and we will be presenting that to a

magistrate very shortly.

RBS has

0:57:290:57:35

admitted fault, they have set aside

money to compensate people, to

0:57:350:57:40

compensate victims. What more do you

want for yourself and others

0:57:400:57:42

affected?

I want to see, as Bill

says, a judge led enquiry or even

0:57:420:57:50

evil and wider public enquiry. We

need to have evil regulators report

0:57:500:58:00

published -- we need to have the

full regulators report published so

0:58:000:58:05

that thousands and thousands of

British businesses, their families

0:58:050:58:09

and their employees can see justice

done, and then we need compensation

0:58:090:58:14

and it's not £300 million. This is a

multi-billion pound problem and that

0:58:140:58:17

is why the bank are trying to

minimise it.

All right, I need to

0:58:170:58:22

try to bring in Clive. Live, you ran

a successful bricklaying business.

0:58:220:58:27

Tell us what happened to you.

Back

in 2010, the bank decided we were in

0:58:270:58:32

a sector they weren't interested in

so they decided in my case to use a

0:58:320:58:37

government scheme, the enterprise

Finance guarantee scheme, to repay

0:58:370:58:41

off a large portion their debt,

which was originally designed to

0:58:410:58:46

safeguard jobs in the downturn. In

the background, they were planning

0:58:460:58:50

on cutting our overdraft further so

our overdraft was cut from 245,000,

0:58:500:58:56

which had never been breached, down

to 20,000. Now, the Davis government

0:58:560:59:02

scheme was drawn down, we were put

into RBS's distressed part of the

0:59:020:59:07

bank, so we were a viable business

that were artificially distressed by

0:59:070:59:12

RBS.

What do you want to happen?

Well, what I want to happen is that

0:59:120:59:18

people, you touched on it, is it

incompetence or dishonesty? Back in

0:59:180:59:25

December last year we discovered

that in the case of global

0:59:250:59:29

restructuring group West register,

the property group of RBS, in flow

0:59:290:59:35

charts, in e-mails and in

registration, and in particular in a

0:59:350:59:41

manual in 2011, they were

instructing all staff upon seizure

0:59:410:59:44

of S M E assets, they would send out

a victory e-mail. Now consider the

0:59:440:59:50

victory you now and then consider

the family that contacted me and

0:59:500:59:54

said that their loved one killed

himself, sorry...

That's OK, take

0:59:541:00:01

your time.

Leading two daughters,

five and seven, because they were

1:00:011:00:09

absolutely gutted to find out that

when their loved one was taking

1:00:091:00:13

their life, RBS worth sending out

victory e-mails. Sorry about this.

1:00:131:00:23

No, take your time. It's a difficult

thing to talk about and we

1:00:231:00:27

appreciate you taking the time.

Given how upsetting it is for you to

1:00:271:00:32

talk about this for yourself and for

others you have heard of, what do

1:00:321:00:36

you want to happen?

I want to see

individuals brought to account.

In

1:00:361:00:44

my particular case... We can't name

individuals here, I just need to say

1:00:441:00:48

that.

I won't name anyone, but the

bank had to clarify in my case that

1:00:481:00:52

there were no assets available. I

was told to delete assets from an

1:00:521:00:59

asset and liability statement and

later on they told me I was asked to

1:00:591:01:03

do that because it was inherited by

my wife is due to the death of one

1:01:031:01:08

of her relatives. Nobody had died.

Now is that incompetence of is

1:01:081:01:17

They are inventing deaths in

people's family. If I could touch

1:01:171:01:21

upon the CEO of the FCA, Andrew

Bailey, when this was brought to his

1:01:211:01:27

attention, his response was perhaps

your file got mixed up with somebody

1:01:271:01:30

else's.

He is not here to defend

himself, so we are not going to go

1:01:301:01:35

down that route. I just want to

know, have you managed to rebuild

1:01:351:01:39

your life? Are you in business at

the moment?

Rebuilding it very

1:01:391:01:43

slowly, we managed to pick ourselves

off the ground. That is what SMEs in

1:01:431:01:48

the UK do. They are the driving

factor of the economy. You dust

1:01:481:01:53

yourself off. But this experience

for the last five years, nearly six

1:01:531:01:58

years, has taken its toll. How do

you rebuild a business?

1:01:581:02:04

Incidentally, in my case, I left

school with no qualifications. Ended

1:02:041:02:07

up building a business and having

100 people turning over £3.5

1:02:071:02:13

million. How do you rebuild that at

this time of your life?

Difficult, I

1:02:131:02:17

know, difficult to speak about this

when it is obviously still very

1:02:171:02:21

distressing for you. We appreciate

you coming on. Now it is time to get

1:02:211:02:26

the latest weather update.

1:02:261:02:27

Good morning. For many it has been a

lovely start to the day. We have had

1:02:301:02:35

a decent sunrise. Pretty decent

weather watcher photos being sent in

1:02:351:02:38

as well. Lovely blue skies in

Cheshire. The far south-east of

1:02:381:02:44

England, still holding on a bit of

cloud around. This is Dorset at the

1:02:441:02:47

moment. That cloud across the south

and east will tend to disappear.

1:02:471:02:52

Even here you will get some

sunshine. Fair weather cloud

1:02:521:02:54

developing into the afternoon,

across the far north of Scotland is

1:02:541:02:59

to be quite breezy with some showers

coming in towards the West of

1:02:591:03:03

Scotland. Towards eastern Scotland,

through southern areas, largely dry

1:03:031:03:07

and bright. Temperatures of 12 or 13

degrees. Sunny spells for Northern

1:03:071:03:11

Ireland and through much of England

and Wales during this afternoon. A

1:03:111:03:15

fine afternoon for most of us.

Temperatures potentially up to 19 or

1:03:151:03:19

maybe 20 degrees in the south-east,

way above the average for the time

1:03:191:03:22

of year. In the south-west of

England you will notice a bit more

1:03:221:03:30

cloud starting to move back in. We

still have this weather front

1:03:301:03:32

situated across southern areas which

will move further northwards

1:03:321:03:34

tonight. That will bring outbreaks

of rain across Wales, into the

1:03:341:03:37

Midlands, keeping temperatures in

double figures. Further north across

1:03:371:03:41

Scotland, temperatures potentially

down into single figures. So,

1:03:411:03:46

Thursday, for Scotland and Northern

Ireland, dry for most with some

1:03:461:03:50

sunshine. A few showers in the

north-west. For England and Wales,

1:03:501:03:53

it will be a cloudy day compared to

today and there will be light and

1:03:531:03:58

patchy rain affecting the likes of

Lancashire, towards Humberside, and

1:03:581:04:03

further south, despite the cloud,

there could be a few breaks to give

1:04:031:04:06

us a bit of sunshine. Again, pretty

one. By Friday, that weather front

1:04:061:04:11

will be moving back southwards

again. As it does so, it will bring

1:04:111:04:14

chilly conditions for many on

Friday. It will take the cloud with

1:04:141:04:18

it. We return to some sunny spells

on Friday. Again, not too bad.

1:04:181:04:25

Temperatures in northern areas, 11

or 12 degrees, going down by a few

1:04:251:04:30

degrees in the south-east, 15

Celsius on Friday. That is about the

1:04:301:04:33

average.

1:04:331:04:33

Hello it's Wednesday,

it's just after 10 o'clock,

1:04:391:04:41

Tina Daheley in for Victoria.

1:04:411:04:42

Cyber stalking is a growing -

and distressing - problem.

1:04:421:04:45

But victims and experts say it's not

always taken seriously as a crime.

1:04:451:04:48

Could a new approach and app

being trialled by Bedfordshire

1:04:481:04:50

police change that?

1:04:501:04:51

We've had exclusive access to find

out how it will work.

1:04:511:04:55

We are also talking to somebody that

experienced cyberstalking for two

1:04:551:04:59

years.

1:04:591:05:00

And the prison sentences

handed down to women

1:05:001:05:02

who kill their partners

after years of domestic abuse.

1:05:021:05:04

We speak to campaigners who want

a review of how these

1:05:041:05:07

defendants are treated

by the law and by the courts.

1:05:071:05:14

And the man behind cinematic

masterpieces such as blade runner

1:05:141:05:17

and The Italian Job, we will be

speaking to legendary producer

1:05:171:05:20

Michael Deeley, who said he stumbled

into the film business more or less

1:05:201:05:23

by accident.

1:05:231:05:28

Good morning.

1:05:281:05:29

Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of todays news.

1:05:291:05:39

The Brexit Secretary has said he

believes a tariff free trade deal

1:05:391:05:42

with the reached with the European

Union before March 20 19. David

1:05:421:05:46

Davis is being questioned by MPs

about the progress of negotiations

1:05:461:05:53

after concerns from EU leaders that

there has not been enough progress

1:05:531:05:55

to start

1:05:551:05:55

there has not been enough progress

to start talking about trade at all.

1:05:551:05:58

He was pressed by Hilary Benn on

whether he thought negotiations

1:05:581:06:01

would be completed by the deadline

for Britain to leave.

I believe your

1:06:011:06:08

words were that I believe we can get

a free trade and customs negotiation

1:06:081:06:14

concluded in the period, before

March 2019. Do you think that can be

1:06:141:06:19

done in 12 months?

Yes. The

arguments against, I will lay them

1:06:191:06:29

out again, they can be based on the

free trade agreements which are very

1:06:291:06:33

different from ours.

The UK economy

picked up speed unexpectedly in the

1:06:331:06:39

last three months to September. This

has increased expectations of an

1:06:391:06:43

interest rate rise in the next

month. Gross domestic product rose

1:06:431:06:48

by 0.4% compared with 0.3% in each

of the first two quarters of the

1:06:481:06:53

year, according to latest figures

from the Office of National

1:06:531:06:56

Statistics. The services industry

was the main factor behind the rise

1:06:561:06:59

as well as a jump in car production.

1:06:591:07:02

Some small businesses have

exquisitely told this programme they

1:07:041:07:07

have instructed lawyers to bring

criminal proceedings against The

1:07:071:07:10

Royal Bank of Scotland, alleging the

bank caused them to fail. The bank

1:07:101:07:12

was heavily criticised this week by

a city watchdog, the Financial

1:07:121:07:17

Conduct Authority, over its handling

of thousands of business customers.

1:07:171:07:21

RBS's global restructuring group was

found to have engaged in widespread

1:07:211:07:25

mistreatment of customers in some

areas.

1:07:251:07:30

More than half of all British women

have suffered sexual harassment

1:07:301:07:33

at work or their place of study,

according to a survey

1:07:331:07:35

by BBC Radio 5 Live.

1:07:351:07:38

Nellie 70% of those questioned said

they had not reported it.

1:07:381:07:41

The survey of 2,000 adults also

found a fifth of men have

1:07:421:07:44

been sexually harassed.

1:07:461:07:49

The social media giant Twitter has

announced new rules about how it

1:07:491:07:51

displays political adverts.

1:07:511:07:52

The move follows claims

that the platform was used

1:07:521:07:55

to try to influence last year's

US presidential election.

1:07:551:07:57

Twitter's ads will now clearly

show who funded them,

1:07:571:07:59

how much was spent and which users

are being targeted.

1:07:591:08:04

That is a summary of the latest ABC

News.

1:08:081:08:12

Should women who kill abuses be

given different sentences to other

1:08:221:08:27

killers? You can get in touch

throughout the morning. If you text,

1:08:271:08:30

network rate. Now the sport.

1:08:301:08:44

Crystal Palace were the big losers

in the legaue cup last night,

1:08:441:08:47

the Premier League's bottom club

went down 4 1 to championship

1:08:471:08:50

side Bristol City.

1:08:501:08:51

Leicester and Bournemouth also made

it through to the quarter finals

1:08:511:08:54

As did Manchester United

who are the league cup holders.

1:08:541:08:56

They beat Swansea 2-0

at the Liberty Stadium.

1:08:561:08:58

Jesse Lingaard scored twice,

the first time he's

1:08:581:09:00

done that for United.

1:09:001:09:01

it was jose Mourinho's 400th game

in English football,

1:09:011:09:03

his first was in 2014 with Chelsea.

1:09:031:09:05

Arsenal had a scare,

they only beat Norwich

1:09:051:09:07

2-1 after extra time.

1:09:071:09:08

Teenager Eddie Nketiah

came off the bench and

1:09:081:09:10

scored both their goals.

1:09:101:09:16

The Premier League leaders

Manchester City needed penalties

1:09:161:09:18

to beat the Championship leaders

Wolves.

1:09:181:09:24

Pepe Guardiola had previously called

the League Cup a waste of energy.

1:09:241:09:27

Last night he had a go at the ball

that they have to play

1:09:271:09:31

with in the League Cup.

1:09:311:09:32

Apparently it's too light.

1:09:321:09:36

It is not acceptable to play with

that ball in this professional game.

1:09:361:09:39

It is not acceptable to that level.

The players complained?

All of the

1:09:391:09:45

players complained, I could not play

football, unfortunately for you,

1:09:451:09:51

because I am a magnificent player!

They all say, what is that?

A couple

1:09:511:09:58

more matches with that ball tonight.

Spurs against West Ham, Everton had

1:09:581:10:03

to Chelsea. Coming up, international

football. England are the under 20s

1:10:031:10:09

world champions, the under 19s

European champions.

1:10:091:10:11

And England take on Brazil

in the semi finals of the under 17's

1:10:111:10:14

World Cup at 12.30 this afternoon.

1:10:141:10:17

It's live on the BBC via the red

button or the BBC website.

1:10:171:10:20

British Cycling says the "door

is open" for former sprinter

1:10:221:10:24

Jess Varnish to return

to the sport.

1:10:241:10:30

She was dropped from

the British squad 18 months

1:10:301:10:32

ago, after failing to qualify

for the Rio Olympics.

1:10:321:10:34

She then made allegations

of bullying and sexual

1:10:341:10:36

discrimination against former

coach Shane Sutton.

1:10:361:10:39

Although he was cleared of bullying,

he quit after being found to have

1:10:391:10:42

used sexist language.

1:10:421:10:48

Her claims printed an independent

report into the culture within

1:10:481:10:50

British cycling that was highly

critical of the organisation.

1:10:501:10:57

England's women cricketers

are getting ready for the second

1:10:571:10:59

match in their Ashes series

against Australia which gets

1:10:591:11:01

underway early tomorrow

morning our time.

1:11:011:11:04

It is and must win, but they

narrowly lost their first match of

1:11:041:11:08

the series. They've got two more 50

over matches, including this one

1:11:081:11:12

tomorrow morning. They have one Test

match before three Twenty20 matches

1:11:121:11:16

in a points-based series.

1:11:161:11:19

England won on their last trip

to Australia in 2013-14, but were

1:11:191:11:22

beaten at home in 2015.

1:11:221:11:26

Preparation was not ideal with

having no warm up games and not able

1:11:261:11:29

to get on grass so much. The same

situation for the Aussies as well. I

1:11:291:11:34

think we showed the other day that

we were a little bit off the pace in

1:11:341:11:37

terms of match readiness, the

batters not getting big scores and a

1:11:371:11:43

few errors in the field. Hopefully

the cobwebs have been swept away and

1:11:431:11:46

we are ready to go tomorrow.

That is

all of the sport for now. I'll be

1:11:461:11:50

back with the headlines later.

1:11:501:11:52

Now controversy has been brewing

for some time about

1:11:541:11:57

whether e-cigarettes are actually

a good thing or really not.

1:11:571:11:59

They do help many people to give up,

but they've also been accused

1:11:591:12:02

of re-normalising smoking

for the younger generations.

1:12:021:12:04

So, a cross-party group of MPs has

begun an inquiry, and that Science

1:12:041:12:07

and Technology Committee says

there are "significant gaps"

1:12:071:12:09

in what we know about e-cigarettes

and how they're regulated.

1:12:091:12:17

Well Norman Lamb MP

is the chairman of that committee

1:12:171:12:20

and is leading the inquiry.

1:12:201:12:24

We're also joined by

Professor John Britton

1:12:241:12:26

of Nottingham University,

who's the Director of the UK

1:12:261:12:28

Centre for Tobacco &

Alcohol Studies, and Louise Ross

1:12:281:12:30

who is the Stop Smoking Service

Manager for Leicester.

1:12:301:12:40

I want to come to you first, why are

you launching this inquiry?

I think

1:12:411:12:47

in a way, your introduction sums up

the reasons. There are claims and

1:12:471:12:54

counterclaims, a lot of myths out

there. I think that gives an

1:12:541:12:58

opportunity to get a clear view,

based on the evidence, based on

1:12:581:13:02

science, about what the risks are

and also what are the opportunities

1:13:021:13:08

are. We have a big ambition in this

country, rightly so, to get people

1:13:081:13:12

off smoking and to reduce smoking

levels down to the minimum possible.

1:13:121:13:19

I think e-cigarettes clearly play a

role in that. There is a lot of

1:13:191:13:23

evidence that it is significantly

safer than smoking, but we also want

1:13:231:13:27

to know what the long-term effects

of vaping are. There is a thing

1:13:271:13:35

called heat not burning, emerging

onto the market which is arranged

1:13:351:13:38

around heating tobacco to a high

temperature rather than burning it,

1:13:381:13:44

which also avoids the cancer risk.

Is that an interesting opportunity

1:13:441:13:50

as well? This gives a chance to give

a definitive view to the public. I

1:13:501:13:53

think that is really worthwhile.

OK.

Are you not worried this might have

1:13:531:13:58

the opposite impact and put people

off using e-cigarettes to quit

1:13:581:14:03

smoking? Only last month, NHS

Scotland stated definitively that

1:14:031:14:08

e-cigarettes are definitely less

harmful than smoking.

I think if you

1:14:081:14:12

follow the evidence, I am a very

strong believer in evidence -based

1:14:121:14:16

policy making. If you follow the

evidence and are clear enough about

1:14:161:14:22

that with people, I don't think you

can go far wrong. Our own Sun has

1:14:221:14:26

given up, he was a heavy smoker and

he now vapes quite heavily, but I am

1:14:261:14:31

delighted he has stopped smoking. We

now have 2.9 million people vaping

1:14:311:14:38

in this country, smoking rates are

down to historic low level, about

1:14:381:14:43

15.5%. This is really significant

progress but we can go a lot

1:14:431:14:46

further. Tobacco is still killing

79,000 people every year in England.

1:14:461:14:51

So, there is a massive public health

goal still to drive at.

Louise, I

1:14:511:14:56

will bring you in next. It is a

confusing picture. People have been

1:14:561:15:00

using e-cigarettes for a while and

there is a lot of disagreement about

1:15:001:15:03

what the risks are, whether or not

you should use them, can you smoke

1:15:031:15:08

inside, outside, they are not

available on prescription at the

1:15:081:15:10

moment. Where do you stand?

Well, in

Leicester City we were the first

1:15:101:15:16

e-cigarette friendly stop smoking

service. We discovered very early

1:15:161:15:21

on, in 2014, that it really helps

people to stop smoking, people who

1:15:211:15:26

tried everything else. When they

tried vaping, they said this has

1:15:261:15:31

done it for me in a way that nothing

else has been successful. We saw

1:15:311:15:36

increased success rates in the first

year, second and 30 as well,

1:15:361:15:41

compared with traditional treatments

we are big fans and confident it is

1:15:411:15:49

much safer than smoking and that

switching is the right thing to do.

1:15:491:15:58

Do you think that is clear that most

people know it is safer than

1:15:581:16:01

cigarettes?

No, I don't think they

do and a lot of the problems are

1:16:011:16:07

caused by media stories that don't

give an accurate picture. We know

1:16:071:16:11

talking to people that they are very

frightened by the myths that go

1:16:111:16:15

around. You know, I'm sure, we have

talked before on this programme in

1:16:151:16:20

fact about the things people are

scared of. The idea of popcorn and

1:16:201:16:26

formaldehyde. But without

combustion, these devices are much

1:16:261:16:32

safer than smoking and it's much

better to switch.

Where are the gaps

1:16:321:16:38

in evidence? It seems worrying that

people have been smoking them, I

1:16:381:16:42

think it's something like 3 million

people are using them in the UK but

1:16:421:16:46

there are gaps in knowledge. Where

are the gaps in knowledge?

The main

1:16:461:16:52

gaps are in understanding how safe

or otherwise the vapours the

1:16:521:16:58

different products produced are. You

have a range of products on the

1:16:581:17:02

market, some of them producing

nicotine in a carrier and little

1:17:021:17:07

else, some solutions generating

flavoured vapour and we do know that

1:17:071:17:13

the more components that going into

PE liquid, the greater the mix of

1:17:131:17:17

toxins in their paper and it would

be helpful to know where different

1:17:171:17:23

products lie on that spectrum so

that consumers can be guided to be

1:17:231:17:28

less rather than be more hazardous

ones. Having said all that, I would

1:17:281:17:33

reiterate what Bob Louise and Norman

Lamb have said. These products are

1:17:331:17:40

unquestionably less harmful than

smoking. We need to capture that

1:17:401:17:45

benefit for society. Where we need

to look carefully is at what we can

1:17:451:17:50

do to make sure that Hamas and

happening that could be avoided by

1:17:501:17:55

some simple controls or legislation

or transparency over what is in the

1:17:551:18:00

product at this stage.

What do you

think the most likely outcome of

1:18:001:18:03

this enquiry will be?

I think the

enquiry will find that electronic

1:18:031:18:08

cigarettes have contributed to a

near doubling at the rate of decline

1:18:081:18:11

in smoking in the United Kingdom

over the last three years, that they

1:18:111:18:18

are not contributing to any

significant uptake of smoking in

1:18:181:18:21

young people, that the content of

the vapour carries certain things

1:18:211:18:28

that justify concern over long-term

health risks and perhaps need to be

1:18:281:18:31

looked at and in some way controlled

or reduced and I think the inclusion

1:18:311:18:38

of heat not burn products is also a

very important product because there

1:18:381:18:43

is a product category we know less

about but it would appear from early

1:18:431:18:47

day care that these products are

slightly further up the risk

1:18:471:18:52

spectrum from electronic cigarettes

to tobacco cigarettes. All the

1:18:521:18:55

permission we have on those products

today, almost all of it comes from

1:18:551:18:59

the tobacco industry and

unfortunately none of that can be

1:18:591:19:05

trusted.

Norman, I want to come to

you again. If at the end of this

1:19:051:19:09

enquiry we hear conclusive evidence

that these are a positive tool and

1:19:091:19:13

can bring down the numbers of people

smoking dramatically, would you back

1:19:131:19:18

public funding for e-cigarettes?

Well, let's follow the evidence.

1:19:181:19:24

Listening to Louise talk about how

her unit has been able to shift

1:19:241:19:31

large numbers of people of smoking

and onto e-cigarettes, this is

1:19:311:19:34

saving lives. And if this is the

case and if the evidence confirms

1:19:341:19:40

this, then we should be able to

follow that evidence in terms of

1:19:401:19:44

public funding. I think also, as

John has said, we also need to

1:19:441:19:49

understand the evidence relating to

heat not burn as well. It's an

1:19:491:19:53

interesting new development. There

are claims coming out of Japan where

1:19:531:19:56

it has been developed significantly

that there is a higher transfer rate

1:19:561:20:01

of people from smoking to heat not

burn products but what is the

1:20:011:20:07

independent evidence showing? That

is what we have got to establish.

1:20:071:20:13

This is a great opportunity to kill

the myths and to get important

1:20:131:20:18

public information out there to

people which could literally save

1:20:181:20:20

lives.

Louise, what do you hope will

happen at the end of this enquiry?

I

1:20:201:20:26

would certainly like to see a lot of

the myths cleared up, like the fact

1:20:261:20:30

that they ping does not we normalise

smoking. It normalises gaping,

1:20:301:20:36

making it more normal to use and

e-cigarettes. That is what I would

1:20:361:20:39

like to see. I am not a great

enthusiast for prescribed

1:20:391:20:43

e-cigarettes because I believe they

are a consumer product and it is the

1:20:431:20:48

diversity, you know, the different

flavours, the looks of the devices

1:20:481:20:52

that are so appealing to people. So

our service would give a free sample

1:20:521:20:58

as a starter to some people who

couldn't afford to get started on a

1:20:581:21:01

device they have bought themselves,

but after that, they are happy to

1:21:011:21:05

buy their own stuff. They were

buying their cigarettes and they are

1:21:051:21:09

happy to buy their own e-cigarettes

as well.

All right, thank you all

1:21:091:21:13

very much indeed. You have been

getting in touch on this story.

1:21:131:21:18

Anthony says e-cigarettes contain

nicotine, that is why people use

1:21:181:21:22

them. Nicotine is one of the most

addictive drugs known to man. That

1:21:221:21:31

is why people smoke, whether it is

ordinary cigarettes or e-cigarettes.

1:21:311:21:33

They are addicted. Nicotine is

highly dangerous to have, affecting

1:21:331:21:36

the heart and the dangers are the

same whether from normal cigarettes

1:21:361:21:42

or e-cigarettes. We have also had an

e-mail from an old saying, the

1:21:421:21:47

government wants to ban this product

because they are losing revenue.

1:21:471:21:51

Still to come, we'll have the latest

from the trial of an Army fitness

1:21:511:21:54

instructor who's accused of trying

to kill his wife by sabotaging her

1:21:541:21:57

parachute and causing

a gas leak at home.

1:21:571:21:59

Bedfordshire Police

and the National Centre

1:21:591:22:02

for Cyberstalking Research

are putting together

1:22:021:22:04

a three-step programme to help

victims from when they go

1:22:041:22:07

to report their experience,

right through to

1:22:071:22:09

rehabilitating the offender.

1:22:091:22:12

We bought you our reporter

Chi Chi Izundu's film a little

1:22:121:22:15

earlier, here's a short extract.

1:22:151:22:16

The relationship for the first

year was really good.

1:22:261:22:33

We had lots of fun.

1:22:331:22:34

He met my family.

1:22:341:22:35

And everything appeared

as if it was going really well.

1:22:351:22:38

And then slowly things

started to deteriorate and

1:22:381:22:48

He posted on social media, he

advertised that I had sexually

1:22:521:22:57

transmitted infections, which was

untrue, he advertised that I had

1:22:571:23:01

HIV, which was untrue. Back in July,

the police were heavily criticised

1:23:011:23:08

by the Inspectorate of Constabulary

and the Crown Prosecution Service is

1:23:081:23:10

inspectorate, with a report finding

too many cases were poorly run and

1:23:101:23:16

failed to give victims legal

protection, leaving them at risk.

I

1:23:161:23:20

was getting comments from the police

officers like, he's run a nice

1:23:201:23:24

family, can't you ignore the

Facebook stuff, ask your friends not

1:23:241:23:28

to show it to you any more? Advising

me not to use social media. That was

1:23:281:23:33

the advice I got from the police.

About 80% of people after break-ups

1:23:331:23:38

still check into your account, even

if they have been blocked, to see

1:23:381:23:44

what you are up to.

Not acceptable,

that is what was said, with victim

1:23:441:23:51

blaming and the number of

prosecutions criticised. But Doctor

1:23:511:23:57

Short is working on a three step

programme to try to change this.

1:23:571:24:02

Firstly, front line officers will

get a risk assessment at the first

1:24:021:24:05

stage of the complaint. Secondly,

helping victims record abuse with an

1:24:051:24:14

app and thirdly, looking at risk.

Victims deemed as medium risk will

1:24:141:24:20

have to get a special login code

before they are given access to the

1:24:201:24:24

app and they will only get that if

front line officers think they

1:24:241:24:28

should.

So, evidence like phone

calls, screenshots, videos, sound

1:24:281:24:32

recordings...

The app also catches

the meta data so the information or

1:24:321:24:38

coding behind the messages, websites

and videos can all be used to help

1:24:381:24:43

police track down the offender.

And

we can start recording the screen

1:24:431:24:47

and then we can navigate away from

the Apple and we are recording

1:24:471:24:50

everything on-screen.

Once

convicted, rehabilitation should

1:24:501:24:56

also be about treatment of the

behaviour, according to the police.

1:24:561:25:00

We can address why they are

committing the crimes, try to get to

1:25:001:25:04

the bottom of understanding be

massive impact their crimes have on

1:25:041:25:06

their victims.

The developments are

still being trialled and it will

1:25:061:25:12

take time to see whether this all

helps victims of cyberstalking and

1:25:121:25:16

increases conviction rates.

1:25:161:25:19

Now we can speak to Alexis Bowater

who experienced being

1:25:191:25:24

cyber-stalked for two

years, Rachel Griffin

1:25:241:25:25

from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust

which runs a national

1:25:251:25:27

stalking helpline and Katy Bourne,

the Police and Crime Commissioner

1:25:271:25:30

for Sussex who is trying

to improve her force's

1:25:301:25:32

response and has herself

experienced cyber stalking.

1:25:321:25:38

Alexis, I want to come to you first

of all. Can you tell us what

1:25:381:25:42

happened to you?

So, I was either

stalked over two years during both

1:25:421:25:52

of my pregnancies, so a period of

extreme vulnerability for me. I was

1:25:521:25:57

being persecuted by an unknown

assailant, basically.

When you say

1:25:571:26:05

you were targeted, how where you

targeted?

So, I was working in a

1:26:051:26:11

newsroom at the time and threats

were coming into the newsroom which

1:26:111:26:15

were escalating in violence and

threats of what was going to be done

1:26:151:26:19

to me. It's quite difficult to talk

about what the threats were at this

1:26:191:26:23

time of the morning because they

were very extreme, but eventually

1:26:231:26:30

the police did catch him and he was

sent to prison, well, he was

1:26:301:26:34

sentenced to four years and one

month which at the time was the

1:26:341:26:39

longest sentence for pure

cyberstalking that had been handed

1:26:391:26:43

down in this country.

I know you

can't go into the detail of what

1:26:431:26:48

those messages were, but what form

where they sent to you in? Whether

1:26:481:26:53

e-mails, texts, on social media? And

how did it start? Can you talk me

1:26:531:26:59

through the journey of when it came

to you contacting the police, at

1:26:591:27:03

what point was that?

OK, so this was

ten years ago, so it was all e-mail.

1:27:031:27:10

These were the days when, you know,

there weren't Apple phones and the

1:27:101:27:16

iPad hadn't been invented. But the

impact of cyberstalking is the same,

1:27:161:27:21

whatever method is used. It's an

insidious, creeping crime which is

1:27:211:27:27

really psychological. It makes you

feel as if you are under threat the

1:27:271:27:30

whole time and it makes the problem

everybody is. You are almost

1:27:301:27:38

instantaneously in a state of hyper

vigilant Andy King can attack is

1:27:381:27:44

inevitable but you don't know where

or when or who buy. So that is what

1:27:441:27:52

happens for every single

cyberstalking victim. They will all

1:27:521:27:55

feel that. One of the problems

obviously if that technology has

1:27:551:28:00

come on and you and I and everybody

else is really enjoying the way that

1:28:001:28:04

we can now communicate with each

other but you can't get away from

1:28:041:28:08

cyberstalking any more. You know,

your cyber stalker is in your

1:28:081:28:12

pocket. It is not as if you can

close the door on it, it's not as if

1:28:121:28:17

you can run away from it.

Cyberstalking means that it's

1:28:171:28:20

everywhere and if you don't know who

it is who's doing it to you, it

1:28:201:28:23

means it's everyone.

Were the police

sympathetic when he first approached

1:28:231:28:27

them?

Yes, so, I had been a

broadcast journalist for a long

1:28:271:28:33

time. I was the main anchor for a

television programme at the time and

1:28:331:28:38

this was the third stalker I had

had. Immediately be stalking

1:28:381:28:42

behaviour began, we recognised it

straightaway and I reported it

1:28:421:28:48

instantaneously to the police. But

it was obvious from early on that we

1:28:481:28:53

were in a targeting scenario. His

messages were not friendly in any

1:28:531:28:57

way whatsoever. They were

threatening, they were menacing,

1:28:571:29:01

they were vile and violent and they

escalated in the type of threat that

1:29:011:29:08

they made.

OK, thank you for now.

Katie, Alexis feels like she's had a

1:29:081:29:14

good experience from the police but

we also need to bear in mind that

1:29:141:29:18

she has a public profile and is a

broadcast journalist. We know that

1:29:181:29:22

women in Hastings who was stalked

for ten years has talked about how

1:29:221:29:27

they beat the response was that she

got from officers. What are you

1:29:271:29:31

doing to counter that?

I have huge

sympathy for what Alexis has been

1:29:311:29:36

through and I have similar

experiences, nearly five years of

1:29:361:29:43

cyberstalking which went into

physical stalking as well, being

1:29:431:29:47

filmed and so one so we had to go

down a civil injunction route, so

1:29:471:29:53

it's been quite serious. Until

you've been through it, everything

1:29:531:29:57

she was saying absolutely rings true

with me. If Alexis was being really

1:29:571:30:02

honest, she'd probably say the

police response was pretty up and

1:30:021:30:06

down. They are beginning to realise

what this means to victims. But it's

1:30:061:30:11

still very bitty and I think the

police response nationally is

1:30:111:30:16

problematic. Certainly in Sussex, I

am really focused on harassment and

1:30:161:30:20

stalking. We know from locally where

I have funded Veritas Justice, a

1:30:201:30:28

stalking help agency locally for

victims, they say that there is a

1:30:281:30:33

huge amount of cyberstalking in some

of their very dangerous cases as

1:30:331:30:37

well. So where it starts on cyber,

it transcends into life as well. But

1:30:371:30:44

the police response is still

problematic and I have a focus on

1:30:441:30:46

that in Sussex.

1:30:461:30:49

Rachel, you run a stalking helpline.

We were talking about e-mail, that

1:30:491:30:55

wasn't around in her time, but are

you seeing an increase in

1:30:551:31:01

cyberstalking because of prolific

use of social media?

Yes, some

1:31:011:31:05

research from last year showed the

proportion of people, the proportion

1:31:051:31:09

of victims of stalking whom were

stalked solely online has about the

1:31:091:31:13

last ten years. It is a great

proportion of what we are seeing.

1:31:131:31:20

Most people we talk to on the

helpline are stalked by a range of

1:31:201:31:24

different means. Most of them are

stalked by some kind of online means

1:31:241:31:27

as well as off-line.

What needs to

change when it comes to people's

1:31:271:31:34

attitudes? Like you said, we have

heard from people that will wait

1:31:341:31:37

until it is so bad and severe that

they receive hundreds of messages,

1:31:371:31:41

they are clearly very distressed. If

they then have a bad experience when

1:31:411:31:47

a contact the police, it is not

helpful for anybody?

One of the

1:31:471:31:53

first things we say to people on the

national stalking helpline is that

1:31:531:31:56

yes, this is stalking and you don't

have to put up with it. Many people

1:31:561:31:59

will call and say, I'm not sure if

it is something, and then they will

1:31:591:32:05

list experience is very reminiscent

of those described by Alexis. As a

1:32:051:32:10

society, we need to challenge that

it is seen as a joke or flattering.

1:32:101:32:14

It is not funny to talk about

stalking someone on Facebook, it can

1:32:141:32:18

be an indicator of something very

sinister.

To add to that, Alexis is

1:32:181:32:24

in public life, as am I and many

members of Parliament, local

1:32:241:32:27

councillors and so on. I have had

women that our chief executives of

1:32:271:32:31

companies in tears down the phone

because they are not being listened

1:32:311:32:34

to. This is really serious. And it

is not just the police response

1:32:341:32:39

which needs to be tightened up, it

is everybody's issue.

1:32:391:32:43

Still to come, prison sentences

handed down to women who kill their

1:32:481:32:51

partners after years of domestic

abuse. We speak to campaigners that

1:32:511:32:54

want a review of how these

defendants are treated by the law

1:32:541:32:57

and by the courts. And the man

behind the cult classics. We speak

1:32:571:33:03

to legendary producer Michael

Deeley, who says he stumbled into

1:33:031:33:05

the film business more or less by

accident.

1:33:051:33:10

Time to get the latest news.

1:33:121:33:15

The UK economy had higher than

expected growth in the three months

1:33:191:33:23

to September, increasing the chances

of a rise in interest rates in

1:33:231:33:26

November. Gross domestic product

rose by 0.4%, compared with 0.3% in

1:33:261:33:31

each of the first two quarters of

the year, according to figures from

1:33:311:33:37

the Office of National Statistics.

The financial markets are now

1:33:371:33:40

indicating an 84% probability that

rates will rise from the current

1:33:401:33:43

record low of 0.25%.

1:33:431:33:51

Some small businesses have

exclusively told this programme they

1:33:521:33:55

have instructed lawyers to bring

criminal proceedings against The

1:33:551:33:58

Royal Bank of Scotland, alleging the

bank caused them to fail. The bank

1:33:581:34:01

was heavily criticised this week by

the city watchdog the Financial

1:34:011:34:05

Conduct Authority over its handling

of thousands of business customers.

1:34:051:34:10

RBS's global restructuring group was

found to have engaged in widespread

1:34:101:34:13

mistreatment of customers in some

areas. The Brexit Secretary has said

1:34:131:34:19

he believes a tariff free trade deal

will be reached with the European

1:34:191:34:22

Union before March 20 19. David

Davis was answering questions from

1:34:221:34:26

MPs on the Brexit committee about

the progress of negotiations with

1:34:261:34:30

the EU. European Union leaders have

expressed concern that has not been

1:34:301:34:33

enough progress to start talking

about trade. MPs are beginning an

1:34:331:34:39

inquiry into e-cigarettes amid

concerns there are significant gaps

1:34:391:34:42

in what is known about them and how

they are regulated.

1:34:421:34:46

The science and technology committee

will look at their effectiveness

1:34:461:34:48

in stopping smoking

and their impact on health.

1:34:481:34:50

Nearly three million people

in the UK now vape regularly -

1:34:501:34:53

four times more than in 2012.

1:34:531:34:55

An electrician from Stirling -

who was facing three months

1:34:551:34:57

in prison in Dubai for public

indecency - has spoken of his relief

1:34:571:35:00

at returning home to the UK.

1:35:001:35:02

Jamie Harron was sentenced

for touching a man's

1:35:021:35:03

hip in a crowded bar,

but freed after Dubai's

1:35:031:35:06

ruler intervened.

1:35:061:35:09

That is a summary of the latest BBC

News.

1:35:151:35:21

Lets get some sport.

1:35:211:35:25

Crystal Palace were the big losers

in the League Cup last night.

1:35:251:35:28

They were knocked out of the League

Cup by Bristol city. Arsenal needed

1:35:281:35:32

extra time to get past Norwich.

Manchester City beat Championship

1:35:321:35:36

leaders Wolves on penalties.

1:35:361:35:43

Manchester United are

the League Cup holders.

1:35:431:35:44

They beat Swansea 2-0

at the Liberty stadium.

1:35:441:35:49

Three matches in the Scottish

premiership. Hibs were the only

1:35:491:35:52

winners on the night. 1-0 against

Hearts. Simon Murray was the

1:35:521:35:55

goal-scorer.

1:35:551:36:03

British Cycling says the "door

is open" for former sprinter

1:36:031:36:06

Jess Varnish to return

to the sport.

1:36:061:36:08

She was dropped from

the British squad 18 months

1:36:081:36:10

ago, after failing to qualify

for the Rio Olympics.

1:36:101:36:12

She then made allegations

of bullying and sexual

1:36:121:36:14

discrimination against former

coach Shane Sutton.

1:36:141:36:16

Although he was cleared of bullying,

he quit after being found to have

1:36:161:36:19

used sexist language.

1:36:191:36:20

England's women cricketers

are getting ready for the second

1:36:201:36:22

match in their Ashes series

against Australia which gets

1:36:221:36:24

underway early tomorrow

morning our time.

1:36:241:36:26

They narrowly lost their first

match. That is all of the sport for

1:36:261:36:28

now. I'll be back just after 11

o'clock.

1:36:281:36:30

Street the wife of an army said

Finnis and structure -- fitness

1:36:301:36:38

instructor accused of trying to kill

her by sabotaging her parachute has

1:36:381:36:42

testified in court. She suffered

serious injuries from a 4000 foot

1:36:421:36:46

fall in April 20 15. Her parachute

did not open. Her husband, Emile

1:36:461:36:52

Cilliers, denies charges of

attempted murder. Andy Moore is

1:36:521:36:57

following the case.

As you said,

Victoria Cilliers sustained serious

1:36:571:37:06

injuries in that fall. She broke her

leg, collarbone. She only survived

1:37:061:37:10

because of her petite stature and

the fact that she landed in a

1:37:101:37:13

recently ploughed field. Despite the

injuries, she walked into the

1:37:131:37:18

courtroom unaided, no support, no

creatures. She was warned that she

1:37:181:37:21

might be giving evidence for some

hours, but she said she wished to

1:37:211:37:26

remain standing. She started off by

speaking about her love of

1:37:261:37:31

parachuting. She said she was on a

two week course with the Army. Once

1:37:311:37:35

she had jumped, she was hooked, she

said and it became an obsession, an

1:37:351:37:39

addiction not dissimilar to drugs.

After that, every holiday, every

1:37:391:37:45

weekend for 15 years, she was out

parachuting. It has been alleged in

1:37:451:37:48

court that Emile Cilliers, her

husband, was having two extramarital

1:37:481:37:53

affairs and that he was trying to

claim on his dead wife's insurance

1:37:531:37:58

policy. She has been speaking in the

last few minutes about that and she

1:37:581:38:03

said by November 2014 she was asked

about the state of their marriage

1:38:031:38:08

and she said that cracks were

starting to show and she had

1:38:081:38:11

suspicions that he was having an

affair. Victoria Cilliers has been

1:38:111:38:17

giving evidence for about half an

hour. She is expected to give

1:38:171:38:20

evidence all day in court. This

trial has been going for several

1:38:201:38:24

weeks and it is expected to last

several weeks longer. Emile Cilliers

1:38:241:38:29

denies two counts of attempted

murder.

1:38:291:38:31

25 years ago Justice for Women began

a campaign to help women

1:38:351:38:38

who kill their violent

partners in self-defence.

1:38:381:38:39

They campaigned to free

Sara Thornton, Kiranjit Ahluwalia

1:38:391:38:41

and Amelia Rossiter,

three women had been

1:38:411:38:43

convicted of murder whilst

resisting male violence.

1:38:431:38:47

All three successfully

appealed their murder convictions

1:38:471:38:49

and their cases resulted in changes

to the law on provocation

1:38:491:38:51

and a greater awareness

of domestic violence.

1:38:511:38:58

Since then, Justice for Women have

supported many more significant

1:38:581:39:00

cases at the Court of Appeal.

1:39:001:39:03

Now, they say women who have fought

back out of fear and desperation

1:39:031:39:06

are still being unjustly convicted

of the murder of their abusers.

1:39:061:39:13

We can now speak to Harriet

Wistrich, a solicitor who is acting

1:39:151:39:18

for women currently imprisoned

for killing their partners.

1:39:181:39:20

She also set up the Justice

for Women campaign group.

1:39:201:39:23

We can also speak to Heather Savage.

1:39:231:39:24

Baroness Helena Kennedy is a leading

social justice barrister and has

1:39:301:39:35

campaigned and a half of women who

suffer the mystic violence. How much

1:39:351:39:40

progress has been made? It has been

25 years since Justice For Women has

1:39:401:39:46

been established, where are we now?

Things seem to move forward and then

1:39:461:39:50

they moved backwards again. In the

90s, when we first took up the

1:39:501:39:54

campaigns, there were changes in the

law as a result of the Appeal Court

1:39:541:39:59

making changes, and there was a

greater awareness. That seemed to

1:39:591:40:03

result, for a while, in less

convictions and in people

1:40:031:40:07

understanding what might lead

somebody in very unusual and extreme

1:40:071:40:11

circumstances to kill somebody who

had been their abuser. Things go

1:40:111:40:16

backwards again. We still have the

same problems arising again and

1:40:161:40:20

again, sometimes in different forms.

Now, 25 years on, we are still

1:40:201:40:27

seeing women convicted of murder in

circumstances where either they have

1:40:271:40:31

killed really out of fear of serious

violence or having been subjected to

1:40:311:40:35

many years of coercive control, and

the courts and the legal system

1:40:351:40:41

still don't seem to be able to

mitigate or understand the

1:40:411:40:46

mitigation of those killings.

Therefore, those women are being

1:40:461:40:50

convicted of murder where they

should at least be convicted of

1:40:501:40:53

manslaughter, which would mean they

would not get an automatic life

1:40:531:40:56

sentence.

Helena, good morning. Is

the problem here people's attitudes

1:40:561:41:03

or the law itself is not going far

enough?

It is really a combination

1:41:031:41:07

of both. You have to remember that

the law was made for a very long

1:41:071:41:13

time, and until now, there has been

very few women in the senior levels

1:41:131:41:17

of the law. It has been made by men.

From a male perspective. It also

1:41:171:41:20

doesn't quite work for women. That

has certainly been true in the

1:41:201:41:24

homicide cases where a battered

woman has ended up killing her

1:41:241:41:27

partner who has abused her for

years. We're still working on trying

1:41:271:41:33

to get the law to really embrace the

ways in which women's lives might be

1:41:331:41:37

different, and the responses to

long-term violence might lead to

1:41:371:41:42

taking an act of violence against an

abuser. So, what happens is that

1:41:421:41:48

suddenly there is a great upsurge.

We think we have made the change and

1:41:481:41:54

we get some change in law, but the

older rolls back into place again.

1:41:541:42:01

New generations become judges and

they have not been trained in it or

1:42:011:42:07

socialised to understand the issues.

They have not had the kind of

1:42:071:42:10

judicial training that I think is

necessary, continuously, on these

1:42:101:42:13

issues. What we find is that we move

the bus along on women in the law

1:42:131:42:19

and then we find that it actually

goes back again. So we move forward

1:42:191:42:24

and then go back. That is not to say

that we have not seen incremental

1:42:241:42:27

change over the last 25 years, we

have. We have managed, with Harriet

1:42:271:42:31

and other women campaigning on these

issues, but we still have a systemic

1:42:311:42:37

problem inside the law and it is

partly to do with the law itself,

1:42:371:42:40

partly to do attitudes.

I wanted to

bring in Heather Savage. In 2014,

1:42:401:42:47

her friend was jailed for life after

being convicted of murdering her

1:42:471:42:50

partner.

1:42:501:42:51

Campaigners feel his history

of domestic violence

1:42:511:42:53

towards her wasn't taken

into account at the trial.

1:42:531:42:59

Thank you for joining us. Can you

tell us more about what happened

1:42:591:43:02

with Fareissia?

The relationship

between both of them was fine at

1:43:021:43:09

first. They have children. A bit

longer down the line it started to

1:43:091:43:15

get worse, argument and fighting,

between both of them. Later, they

1:43:151:43:23

found out he was supposed to have

another child to somebody else. So

1:43:231:43:28

more arguments occurred. It got

worse. At this time, Fareissia

1:43:281:43:34

didn't want anyone to know about it,

knee has her best friend, I knew.

1:43:341:43:39

When you are in that situation, it

was either I go and tell somebody

1:43:391:43:43

and she loses my trust, because I

know that she would have got back

1:43:431:43:46

with him and it would have got

worse, or stay there as a friend and

1:43:461:43:49

let her confide in me.

How

devastating was it for you when she

1:43:491:43:56

was convicted for 13 years and just

22 years old?

I felt like there was

1:43:561:44:01

part of me missing because we had

grown up together, since the age of

1:44:011:44:06

four, as best friends. We are

practically like sisters. I still

1:44:061:44:10

feel part of me is missing, because

she is not here.

How old are her

1:44:101:44:14

children and how have they been

since?

Four and five, and it is very

1:44:141:44:19

difficult dealing with them, because

both parents are not present at the

1:44:191:44:23

moment, I am classed as their aunt,

I can care for them but not give

1:44:231:44:32

them the love that they would get

from their mother.

Do you speak to

1:44:321:44:37

Fareissia now, how is she? What did

she say to you?

She is OK. Seeing

1:44:371:44:41

her, I know she is not dealing with

this. She claims she still loves

1:44:411:44:45

him. I can see there is no doubt

about it that she still loves him.

1:44:451:44:51

But it is still hurting her. I know

for a fact that she is not the same

1:44:511:44:55

person as she used to be because of

it all.

What types of stories did

1:44:551:45:01

she tell you about how violent her

partner was?

There were times when

1:45:011:45:07

she told me that... When I found out

myself, basically, I had seen her

1:45:071:45:15

with a black eye. I said, how did

you get that? She told me that the

1:45:151:45:20

baby through the bottle at her. I

said, a bottle is not going to make

1:45:201:45:24

your high black like that. She

changed her story that she hit it on

1:45:241:45:27

the oven. I said, the open was too

low.

1:45:271:45:37

Do you think that his history was

taken into account in court?

No, I

1:45:371:45:44

think the whole case, the whole

trial, it wasn't taken into account.

1:45:441:45:57

They never took the psychological

report into account because she was

1:45:571:46:01

going through a lot of trauma at the

time.

I want to get Harriet to

1:46:011:46:06

respond to what you are hearing.

Well, I am Fareissia's solicitor and

1:46:061:46:16

we are working on an appeal to her

case. What is interesting at this

1:46:161:46:20

time with people talking out about

sexual abuse and harassment, one of

1:46:201:46:25

the things in Fareissia's case and

many other women I have worked with

1:46:251:46:28

over the years is that the one thing

they don't talk about is the sexual

1:46:281:46:33

violence and sometimes that's the

worst thing. And it was very, very

1:46:331:46:37

serious and not only was she not

able to talk about it, and it has

1:46:371:46:42

taken a long time and working very

closely with counselling and support

1:46:421:46:46

to get her to feel confident to talk

about it, but also that then shows

1:46:461:46:50

how psychiatrically they are

affected by the controlling and

1:46:501:46:55

violent behaviour and how that then

impacts on the way in which they

1:46:551:46:59

respond to threats of violence,

which is very, very relevant. Until

1:46:591:47:03

women are able to talk out -- to

speak about and talk about those

1:47:031:47:11

experiences and we say, no, then

this is going to continue. This is a

1:47:111:47:16

very good example.

I want to get a

final word in with Palin because you

1:47:161:47:21

got the law changed with regards to

provocation. What do you want to

1:47:211:47:25

happen next?

I think one of them is

about, judges discretion is very

1:47:251:47:35

important and we have seen an

erosion of the flexibility that

1:47:351:47:39

judges have in what they can do with

people convicted of serious offences

1:47:391:47:43

like murder and manslaughter. Murder

carries a mandatory life sentence

1:47:431:47:47

and the judge can say what the

minimum can be. I think we should be

1:47:471:47:57

revisiting that, with more

flexibility for judges in relation

1:47:571:48:00

to how they can sentence when there

is a background like this. Really,

1:48:001:48:04

we have seen an escalation in

sentences generally and it has hit

1:48:041:48:09

on women, two, and sometimes when

history is told, it is not having

1:48:091:48:13

enough impact on the court and we

should be revisiting this business

1:48:131:48:17

of how women are being sentenced and

that is one of the serious issues

1:48:171:48:20

here. I agree with Harriet. Women

don't talk about the sexual nature

1:48:201:48:25

of the abuse they experience. Women

have been silenced for too long

1:48:251:48:28

about the way in which they are

abused and we have to have the

1:48:281:48:32

courts much more sensitive to the

experience of women if we are going

1:48:321:48:37

to see justice.

Thank you all very

much for joining us today. Still to

1:48:371:48:46

come, how reality TV star Miley

Simpson has just been found to fall

1:48:461:48:50

foul of advertising standards with

social media.

1:48:501:48:58

Michael Deeley might not be a name

you instantly recognise

1:48:581:49:01

but when I say Blade Runner,

The Italian Job, The Deer Hunter,

1:49:011:49:04

you'll realise that my next

guest is a bit of legend

1:49:041:49:06

in Hollywood circles.

1:49:061:49:07

He's produced some of the biggest

film cult classics and worked

1:49:071:49:10

with some of the biggest names

in the business from

1:49:101:49:12

Robert De Niro to David Bowie.

1:49:121:49:14

He also landed himself

an Oscar in the process.

1:49:141:49:16

Now he's got a book out

about his amazing career and we'll

1:49:161:49:19

be talking to him in a moment,

but first let's watch a few of his

1:49:191:49:23

cinematic masterpieces.

1:49:231:49:24

It seems you feel our work is little

benefit to the public.

1:49:241:49:27

Replicants are like

any other machine.

1:49:271:49:28

They are either

a benefit or a hazard.

1:49:281:49:30

If they are a benefit,

it's not my problem.

1:49:301:49:32

Hang on a minute, lads.

1:49:391:49:41

I've got a great idea.

1:49:411:49:44

OK.

1:49:471:49:53

Michael Deeley is with me now. Very

good to see you. What was it like

1:50:001:50:04

watching your best bits back?

Always

a joy, really.

You have done so many

1:50:041:50:12

things, you have produced these big

hits, had a long career. Highlights

1:50:121:50:16

for you?

Oscar night. Actually to

get an Oscar is pretty nice.

Where

1:50:161:50:23

is that Oscar? Where is it in your

house?

It is at home, fairly high up

1:50:231:50:29

on a shelf. I can see it, it is not

particularly believable. Hard to

1:50:291:50:40

steal.

When you think back to Oscar

night, how do you feel?

Well, it was

1:50:401:50:51

quite a long time to wait because

the Best picture Oscar is the last

1:50:511:50:57

one of the night. It is a nice way

to spend the evening, I suppose, if

1:50:571:51:01

you win.

Why did you decide to write

a book about your career, your life?

1:51:011:51:08

Well, I was helping Matthew Field

write his early book about The

1:51:081:51:11

Italian Job and talking a lot about

things that had happened on

1:51:111:51:16

different boobies and he said, you

should write a book and I said, I

1:51:161:51:20

can't write a book, I can't even

type. -- things that had happened on

1:51:201:51:28

different movies.

For people who

don't know, what does working in

1:51:281:51:35

film involve for a producer?

It

involves a lot of things but is it

1:51:351:51:42

synced way of putting it is that a

producer causes a film to be made.

1:51:421:51:48

How does that happen?

You find the

material, the cast, the director,

1:51:481:51:56

the money and then you shoot it.

You

have produced classics like The

1:51:561:52:01

Italian Job. When you are producing

films, did you know it would go on

1:52:011:52:06

to become the heat it is now,

because at the time, it wasn't a big

1:52:061:52:12

smash?

No, that is perfectly true.

It wasn't what it became. That

1:52:121:52:19

applies to two of my pictures. When

it came out, it was recognised as

1:52:191:52:27

pretty amazing in a way, but really,

like the world, and The Deer Hunter

1:52:271:52:36

was another one at the time because

it was a tough subject.

And

1:52:361:52:39

criticise that the time.

Oh,

everything is criticised.

Why? That

1:52:391:52:47

is the film you won the Oscar Bob.

Well, in that particular case, I was

1:52:471:52:55

criticised before I even made it.

Firstly, as an Englishman I couldn't

1:52:551:53:00

know about Vietnam, secondly, the

Americans didn't want to be reminded

1:53:001:53:03

about Vietnam.

So, Blade Runner, we

have Blade Runner because of you.

1:53:031:53:09

What do you make of the new version

if you have seen it or read the

1:53:091:53:13

reviews or the fact it was even made

in the first place in 2017?

Yes, I

1:53:131:53:19

am not very fond of the calls. I had

had it done to me before, they did

1:53:191:53:24

one on The Italian Job which I

thought was dreadful.

Why?

It didn't

1:53:241:53:31

have any of the same spirit. It

wasn't amusing. Which was the away

1:53:311:53:39

-- the way the Italian Job started

off. I haven't seen the new version

1:53:391:53:43

of Blade Runner but I'll get to see

it eventually.

It's funny because

1:53:431:53:50

The Italian Job setup for a sequel

with the ending and it's one of the

1:53:501:53:56

famous endings in film.

I know, and

that wasn't in the initial script.

1:53:561:54:01

The film industry, you have been in

it for a long time. It is in the

1:54:011:54:07

spotlight now for all the wrong

reasons, Harvey Weinstein. Were you

1:54:071:54:10

aware of the rumours? I never met

him, I never worked for his company,

1:54:101:54:16

so perhaps I am lucky in that

respect. So no, I was not aware.

1:54:161:54:21

There is now a director who has been

holed up and pilloried for the same

1:54:211:54:26

thing. Clearly it is scandalous.

Again, naming any names aside from

1:54:261:54:33

Harvey Weinstein who we are talking

about, having had that long career

1:54:331:54:37

and the idea of complicity and the

casting couch, did you ever witness

1:54:371:54:42

or hear about that type of thing

going on about -- going on?

1:54:421:54:48

Absolutely not. I knew historically

it was meant to have happened, back

1:54:481:54:53

in the 20s, but certainly people

weren't wasting their time doing

1:54:531:54:57

those sort of things with the level

of money that has to be spent on

1:54:571:55:00

film, you don't fool around, you

shouldn't feel around and I never

1:55:001:55:04

thought anybody would. But there you

go, I am wrong.

We should say that

1:55:041:55:10

Harvey Weinstein has denied any and

all accusations of nonconsensual

1:55:101:55:17

sex. The reality TV star Miley

Simpson has been found guilty of

1:55:171:55:27

breaching advertising rules by

plugging items on her social media

1:55:271:55:32

platform. What do you make of all

this, Katie?

I am surprised, to be

1:55:321:55:40

honest. Although this has hit the

headlines, this has happened before.

1:55:401:55:46

In fact, it has happened all the way

back when were established

1:55:461:55:51

celebrities were criticised back in

2012, so this is really not anything

1:55:511:55:56

new. I just think there's more of

it.

When you say there is more of

1:55:561:56:00

it, what do you mean?

So,

advertisers are looking for

1:56:001:56:06

alternatives to ways of reaching

consumers, predominantly because

1:56:061:56:10

there is quite a lot of advertise

mental fatigue, as they say, so

1:56:101:56:14

people are getting bored of

advertising, so the use of

1:56:141:56:19

celebrities and particularly social

media and Internet celebrities plus

1:56:191:56:22

the use of those people who are

deemed to have influence is

1:56:221:56:27

increasing. So brands are going to

influence celebrities and ask them

1:56:271:56:32

to promote products.

And do you

think the celebrities, influencers,

social media stuff, whatever you

want to call them, do you think they

1:56:371:56:41

are aware and know what they are

getting themselves into?

I don't

1:56:411:56:46

think they are. I think some of them

are, some of them are very savvy and

1:56:461:56:50

very smart and also some of them

wish to be authentic, and so don't

1:56:501:56:55

want to be seen to be duping the

consumer. Others are probably very

1:56:551:57:01

unaware and as the rise in what we

call micro influences, so these are

1:57:011:57:06

people with smaller followings but

in nuclear -- in smaller specific

1:57:061:57:14

areas, like make-up and beauty,

maybe not mainstream influences.

1:57:141:57:20

Where do you think we will end up,

because social media, part of the

1:57:201:57:25

appeal, people who follow people

aren't Instagram and Twitter, it's

1:57:251:57:28

because they feel they are getting

the authentic version of that

1:57:281:57:32

person, it is all about

authenticity, so if advertisers are

1:57:321:57:36

finding more sophisticated ways of

advertising, where do we end up?

Not

1:57:361:57:41

in a good place unless we move back

to transparency and it's very

1:57:411:57:44

simple. Brands need to make sure

that influences need to be clear

1:57:441:57:48

when they are promoting a good or a

service.

What do you think should

1:57:481:57:56

happen next? In terms of cracking

down, if you want to call it that.

1:57:561:58:02

Basically, more education across the

board and more understanding of what

1:58:021:58:06

the rules and tail and a little bit

more discipline from the marketing

1:58:061:58:09

professionals.
