Hello it's Tuesday, it's 9 o'clock,

I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

0:00:080:00:10

welcome to the programme.

0:00:100:00:13

Our top story - about half a million

children and young people -

0:00:130:00:16

some as young as 11 -

gamble every week,

0:00:160:00:18

a Gambling Commission

report claims today.

0:00:180:00:26

Everywhere people are talking about

how much money they have lost on

0:00:260:00:30

gambling sites.

He ended up losing

about 1200 of it.

I know someone

0:00:300:00:35

aged ten and who has lost about

£2000.

0:00:350:00:39

The report highlights what's known

as "skins gambling" -

0:00:390:00:41

which lets players gamble

with virtual items like currency

0:00:410:00:43

and then swap them for money.

0:00:430:00:46

We'll explain what

it is before 10am.

0:00:460:00:47

Also on the programme,

an insight into life of a male sex

0:00:470:00:50

workers in Britain -

the unheard voices

0:00:500:00:52

of the sex industry.

0:00:520:01:00

I see mainly single men, a large

proportion of them are gay and out.

0:01:000:01:04

But also a lot of them are married.

0:01:040:01:08

And - the former wife of serial

killer Levi Bellfield tells this

0:01:080:01:11

programme she lives with the guilt

that she didn't report him

0:01:110:01:13

to the police sooner.

0:01:130:01:15

Hello.

0:01:280:01:32

Welcome to the programme,

between now and 11am we'll bring

0:01:320:01:35

you the latest news,

sport and interviews

0:01:350:01:41

and - should women be

paid to breastfeed?

0:01:410:01:48

We would very much like to hear

from mums AND dads on this.

0:01:480:01:51

A trial involving 10,000 new mums

suggests if they are given shopping

0:01:510:01:54

vouchers then breastfeeding rates go

up - only by 6% but

0:01:540:01:56

they go up nonetheless.

0:01:560:01:57

And Britain has one of the lowest

rates in Europe. If you are a parent

0:01:570:02:01

would do you think?

0:02:010:02:04

Our top story today -

four people are being questioned

0:02:040:02:06

on suspicion of murder,

after three children died

0:02:060:02:08

in a house fire in Salford,

early yesterday morning.

0:02:080:02:10

Their mother and another three

year-old child remain in a serious

0:02:100:02:13

condition in hospital.

0:02:130:02:14

Our correspondent Dave Guest

is at the scene in Worsley.

0:02:140:02:18

What is the latest?

The latest is those arrests

0:02:180:02:25

overnight, it was 5am yesterday the

fire broke out on this street in

0:02:250:02:31

greater Manchester when firefighters

arrived they found a mid-terraced

0:02:310:02:33

house midway down the street well

ablaze. Two 16-year-old boys had

0:02:330:02:37

escaped but a mother and her four

children were trapped inside. They

0:02:370:02:42

were rescued but a 14-year-old girl

was pronounced dead at the scene, a

0:02:420:02:46

seven-year-old girl and an aged old

boy, brother and sister, were

0:02:460:02:50

pronounced dead in hospital. Still

in hospital is the mother, Michelle,

0:02:500:02:56

as his her three-year-old girl.

Overnight we saw the arrests after

0:02:560:03:00

the police announced this was not

just a tragic accident but a murder

0:03:000:03:05

investigation. Four people, three

men and a woman arrested on

0:03:050:03:09

suspicion of murder and a man

arrested on suspicion of assisting

0:03:090:03:13

an offender. This is a tragedy which

has affected the whole community.

0:03:130:03:18

Flowers started arriving and last

night a church opened its doors so

0:03:180:03:21

people could go and light a candle

and say a prayer for those who have

0:03:210:03:26

lost their lives. And the mother and

daughter who are still fighting for

0:03:260:03:29

their lives in hospital.

0:03:290:03:32

Ben is in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of the rest

0:03:340:03:37

of the days news.

0:03:370:03:39

Temperatures of minus 13 celsius

have been recorded in Shropshire

0:03:390:03:41

on what was the coldest night

of the year so far.

0:03:410:03:44

Hundreds of schools have been closed

across England and Wales,

0:03:440:03:47

and motorists are being warned

to take care in hazardous

0:03:470:03:49

driving conditions.

0:03:490:03:50

Tom Burridge has the latest.

0:03:500:03:53

Freezing ice on the roads is

expected to be a problem in much of

0:04:000:04:05

the country. As temperatures drop to

record lows. In parts of Wales

0:04:050:04:10

temperatures dropped to around minus

ten. The village in Shropshire was

0:04:100:04:15

the coldest, are perishing minus 13.

At Kew Gardens it was -3.7. So with

0:04:150:04:25

lots of snow still around from

yesterday and the weekend, it will

0:04:250:04:29

be hard going as roads turned icy

this morning. It looks stunning from

0:04:290:04:34

up here but there are weather

warnings for snow and ice in Eastern

0:04:340:04:38

Scotland and Eastern England and the

ice in Northern Ireland, Wales, the

0:04:380:04:43

Midlands, and the South and

south-east of England. But fun for

0:04:430:04:47

some as hundreds of schools closed

again.

0:04:470:04:54

The US ambassador to Britain says

he expects Donald Trump to visit

0:04:540:04:56

the UK in the new year

despite his recent Twitter

0:04:560:04:59

row with Theresa May.

0:04:590:05:00

Woody Johnson told BBC Radio

4's Today programme

0:05:000:05:02

that the disagreement

was "probably misinterpreted".

0:05:020:05:05

Mrs May had said Mr Trump

was "wrong" to share videos posted

0:05:050:05:08

by the far-right group

Britain First, prompting an online

0:05:080:05:11

backlash from the US President.

0:05:110:05:18

A radical change to the rules around

organ donation in England is being

0:05:180:05:22

unveiled today as ministers launch a

consultation on moving to a system

0:05:220:05:27

of presumed consent. The reform

would mean opting out of being a

0:05:270:05:31

donor rather than the current scheme

of opting in, Wales has already

0:05:310:05:35

taken the approach and the Scottish

Government plan to deduce a similar

0:05:350:05:39

scheme. Dominic Hughes reports.

0:05:390:05:41

Offering a stranger the gift

of life is what lies

0:05:410:05:43

at the heart of organ donation.

0:05:430:05:46

These are the names of those who've

helped some of the 6,500 people

0:05:460:05:49

who need a transplant each year,

but around 450 will die before

0:05:490:05:52

a donor can be found.

0:05:520:05:54

The family of Adrian Williams

were happy to support

0:05:540:05:56

his decision to donate.

0:05:560:06:00

When you lose someone,

and they've given that gift,

0:06:000:06:03

that huge gift, you're immensely

proud of them and it fills

0:06:030:06:07

you with comfort that other families

are actually enjoying the lives

0:06:070:06:10

of their loved ones,

where they may not have done,

0:06:100:06:14

because of something that our Ade

has done for them.

0:06:140:06:18

The past decade has seen a big surge

in donors across the UK.

0:06:180:06:23

In 2007, there were around

790 deceased donors.

0:06:230:06:27

That's now risen to more than 1400.

0:06:270:06:31

The number of registered donors has

gone up from 14 million

0:06:310:06:35

to more than 23 million.

0:06:350:06:38

But ministers are concerned

that four out of ten

0:06:380:06:40

families say no to donation,

so are proposing a system

0:06:400:06:45

where it's assumed we are all

willing to be donors.

0:06:450:06:47

The issue of presumed consent is one

thing we are looking at.

0:06:470:06:50

What we need is much better

communication inside families

0:06:500:06:55

so that people know what family

members actually want.

0:06:550:06:58

There are some concerns

that moving to a system

0:06:580:07:00

where there is an assumption

we are willing to donate

0:07:000:07:04

could be counter-productive,

undoing the good work of recent

0:07:040:07:06

years by raising fears over

the government having

0:07:060:07:08

a claim on our organs.

0:07:080:07:15

The industry regulator for gambling

is warning that children as young as

0:07:150:07:19

11 are using a so-called skin

betting websites which let players

0:07:190:07:23

gamble with virtual items as

currency. Once those items are won

0:07:230:07:27

online, using modified guns or

knives within a video game which is

0:07:270:07:33

known as a skin, they can be sold

and turned back to real money. It's

0:07:330:07:37

part of a wider report for the

gambling commission which says

0:07:370:07:40

around half a million children and

young people gamble every week.

0:07:400:07:46

Clive Lewis has been cleared by the

party of sexual harassment, he was

0:07:460:07:50

put under investigation last month,

he was investigated after claims he

0:07:500:07:56

groped her in the Labour conference

in Brighton. Mr Lewis denied the

0:07:560:08:00

accusation and said he was pleased

to put it behind him.

0:08:000:08:03

Research seen by this programme

suggests that 12% of male sex

0:08:030:08:06

workers have been sexually

assaulted and that over 70%

0:08:060:08:08

would be unlikely to report

crimes to the police.

0:08:080:08:11

It's estimated there

are as many as 100,000 sex

0:08:110:08:13

workers across the UK -

20% of which are thought to be men.

0:08:130:08:20

Later in the programme, we'll hear

from four male sex workers

0:08:200:08:22

about their experiences.

0:08:220:08:25

Offering new mothers cash incentives

could significantly increase

0:08:250:08:27

breastfeeding rates according

to a new study.

0:08:270:08:32

More than 10,000 new mums

were offered shopping vouchers worth

0:08:320:08:36

up to £120 if babies received breast

milk at two days, 10

0:08:360:08:39

days and six weeks old.

0:08:390:08:43

A further £80 of vouchers

was available if they continued

0:08:430:08:46

to receive breast milk up

to six months.

0:08:460:08:48

Adina Campbell reports.

0:08:480:08:52

Breast-feeding the newest member

of the Sutcliffe family is a lot

0:08:520:08:58

easier a second time around but,

after Fiona's first daughter

0:08:580:09:00

was born, she was spurred

on by shopping vouchers

0:09:000:09:02

during the toughest moments.

0:09:020:09:06

It really encouraged me to keep

going, especially when the night

0:09:060:09:08

was quite difficult and I thought

about giving up breast-feeding

0:09:080:09:13

but that was another

incentive to keep going,

0:09:130:09:16

and especially given it's so easy

to sort of claim the vouchers.

0:09:160:09:19

Fiona was one of more

than 10,000 mums who took part

0:09:190:09:22

in a study over 18 months.

0:09:220:09:25

They were offered up to £200

in shopping vouchers at five

0:09:250:09:27

different stages of breast-feeding.

0:09:270:09:31

£40 at two days old and the same

amount at ten days, six weeks,

0:09:310:09:34

three months and six months.

0:09:340:09:43

Before getting the vouchers,

claim forms were signed off

0:09:430:09:45

by midwives or health

visitors during visits.

0:09:450:09:48

Overall, the breast-feeding

rates went up by 6%,

0:09:480:09:50

which researchers believe

is a big difference.

0:09:500:09:55

We do know that biologically

and physiologically,

0:09:550:09:56

we are designed to breast-feed.

0:09:560:10:00

We know that 99% of women, given

the right support, can breast-feed.

0:10:000:10:05

There are plenty of benefits

to breast-feeding but these mums

0:10:050:10:07

in Sheffield have mixed views

about being paid to do it.

0:10:070:10:12

I don't think, you know,

it should really be monetary.

0:10:120:10:15

And I think some people might get

persuaded just because of the money.

0:10:150:10:18

If you can't do it, it's fine, too.

0:10:180:10:20

But, yeah, having an incentive wiill

definitely help and just get

0:10:200:10:23

the message out there.

0:10:230:10:26

The UK has some of the lowest

breast-feeding rates in the world.

0:10:260:10:30

Researchers say vouchers are a small

price to pay with long-term benefits

0:10:300:10:33

to babies and the NHS.

0:10:330:10:35

Adina Campbell, BBC News.

0:10:350:10:41

On Twitter, I am tired of best is

breast, with the same logic women

0:10:430:10:50

who give birth naturally should be

given vouchers compare to those who

0:10:500:10:57

get a C section as it is lest

costly. Another says that many women

0:10:570:11:02

would like to breast-feed but

cannot, does the pressure not add to

0:11:020:11:06

their already unrealistic guilt?

Another says I'd breast-fed all of

0:11:060:11:14

my children for over a year, there

was no need to offer payment, please

0:11:140:11:18

do not waste any more of the state's

money. We would like to talk to you

0:11:180:11:23

especially if you have just had a

baby and can spare us on it. We'll

0:11:230:11:27

be talking to some mothers later on.

Let's get the sport.

0:11:270:11:34

England's cricketers preparing for a

game they cannot lose.

0:11:340:11:38

They cannot, they are 2-0 down in

the Ashes and are in Perth ahead of

0:11:380:11:43

the third test, lots of criticism

not just further performances, they

0:11:430:11:48

have lost in both games, some

problems off the field as well, a

0:11:480:11:58

lot of headlines being made, Jonny

Bairstow earlier in the tour, in

0:11:580:12:02

Perth in a bar with a rather curious

head-butt greeting for Cameron

0:12:020:12:08

Bancroft of Australia and last week,

Ben Duckett in the same bar, one of

0:12:080:12:13

the England Lions joining the main

squad, pouring his pint over the

0:12:130:12:17

head of Jimmy Anderson. They have

come in for an awful lot of flick.

0:12:170:12:23

Michael Vaughan the former England

captain says they are acting like

0:12:230:12:26

students and the next one to step

out of line should go home. You sort

0:12:260:12:33

Joe Root, the England captain,

Michael Vaughan says some of the

0:12:330:12:37

senior players should be held

accountable and need to get

0:12:370:12:41

everybody in line. Alastair Cook is

an elder statesman of the side and

0:12:410:12:45

he was asked about all of this field

controversy overnight.

I don't think

0:12:450:12:50

we are getting painted fairly in the

media because, on our culture,

0:12:500:12:54

clearly there has been a couple of

things, it sounds silly me saying

0:12:540:12:58

it, but the media have brought that

up. But the world has changed after

0:12:580:13:04

the September incidents so it's down

to us to adjust to that and we

0:13:040:13:07

cannot afford any more mistakes

because we understand the stakes,

0:13:070:13:12

the ECB and responses, trying to

make kids play cricket is what we

0:13:120:13:15

want to do ultimately.

Alastair Cook

will win his 150th cap in the third

0:13:150:13:22

test and he needs some runs to go

with it.

0:13:220:13:25

He does and you have been talking to

a former England cricket captain who

0:13:250:13:29

also got in trouble on the Ashes?

David Gower, his century in 1978 was

0:13:290:13:37

the last time England won at the

waca but in 1991 he infamously did

0:13:370:13:42

this with his fellow pilot player,

Secunda and a tiger moth and buzzing

0:13:420:13:49

the field. They were both fined

£1000 and David Gower never quite

0:13:490:13:56

played the same again. I spoke to

him recently and asked him about

0:13:560:13:59

England's issues.

If you go back

through the years, go back to my

0:13:590:14:05

era, players let offer not a lot of

steam on tour. If you are away for

0:14:050:14:10

three or four months nobody expects

you to be a monk and everyone is

0:14:100:14:14

expected to have a drink at some

stage and there was breaches of

0:14:140:14:17

discipline is way back when, some of

which were allowed to pass, some of

0:14:170:14:21

which were dealt with severely and

people got on with life. The key

0:14:210:14:26

thing as ever in these situations is

if you are producing the right

0:14:260:14:30

results on the pitch then people are

very forgiving. We had, I remember a

0:14:300:14:37

one-year against New Zealand, we

were found in a wine bar at 1am,

0:14:370:14:43

leaving at 1am, they had headlines

ready to go in the papers the next

0:14:430:14:47

day slamming us for being out of

order but we won the game so the

0:14:470:14:53

headline was Heck, heck, hurray.

0:14:530:14:56

It's estimated there

are as many as 100,000 sex

0:15:020:15:08

workers across the UK -

though some believe the true

0:15:080:15:11

figure to be far higher.

0:15:110:15:12

More often that not

when we talk about sex workers,

0:15:120:15:15

we focus on female prostitutes.

0:15:150:15:19

But around 20% of them are men

and their voices are very

0:15:190:15:22

rarely heard in debates

about decriminalisation and safety.

0:15:220:15:23

Research seen by this programme

suggests that 12% of male sex

0:15:230:15:29

workers have been sexually

assaulted and that over 70%

0:15:290:15:32

would be unlikely to report

crimes to the police.

0:15:320:15:36

We've spent time with four male sex

workers who talk candidly

0:15:360:15:39

about their own experience and why

they got into the profession.

0:15:390:15:42

Our reporter Mike Cowan's report

contains upsetting testimony

0:15:420:15:43

Our reporter Mike Cowan's report

contains upsetting testimony

0:15:430:15:48

and interviews that may not be

suitable for children.

0:15:480:15:52

Across Britain, there's up

to 100,000 sex workers.

0:15:540:15:58

Around 20% of them are men.

0:15:580:16:02

The most vulnerable say to survive,

they have no choice.

0:16:020:16:09

I started off with one or two people

a night, then more, more.

0:16:090:16:14

Others see it as a positive choice.

0:16:140:16:20

It would be a full service

for that, it would be 150.

0:16:200:16:22

For some, it's just extra income.

0:16:220:16:27

Sex work is something that I've used

to supplement my income

0:16:270:16:30

and also to use to allow me

to start my own business.

0:16:300:16:34

For others, drug-taking

is demanded of them by clients.

0:16:340:16:37

It basically involves getting high

and having sex together.

0:16:370:16:39

Often for extended periods of time.

0:16:390:16:41

These are their stories.

0:16:410:16:44

These are the men for sale.

0:16:440:16:53

We've gained rare access to four

male sex workers who spoke candidly

0:16:530:16:55

about their experiences.

0:16:550:16:58

To protect their identity, some

names and voices have been changed.

0:16:580:17:04

It's early afternoon

in East London and Daniel has just

0:17:040:17:08

finished his first appointment

of the day.

0:17:080:17:11

After dropping out of university,

he turned to sex work and has

0:17:110:17:15

been doing it full-time

for the last decade.

0:17:150:17:17

You were with one of your clients?

0:17:170:17:19

Yeah.

0:17:190:17:20

Is that a regular client?

0:17:200:17:25

No, it's a new client.

I moved here about six months ago.

0:17:250:17:29

I'm just building up my client

base at the moment.

0:17:290:17:32

I see mainly single men.

0:17:320:17:36

A large proportion of

them are gay and out.

0:17:360:17:39

But also, a lot of them are married.

0:17:390:17:41

What age brackets do

they tend to be in?

0:17:410:17:46

Generally, I would say

they fall between 35 and 80.

0:17:460:17:50

I had 85, that was

probably my oldest.

0:17:500:17:52

How much do you charge per hour?

0:17:520:17:58

I charge massage rates of 100,

but most of my customers have paid

0:17:580:18:02

150 for a single hour

and for successive hours,

0:18:020:18:04

they pay an extra 50.

0:18:040:18:11

For an overnight, they

would usually pay 250,

0:18:110:18:18

but maybe upwards if they wanted

to play for longer.

0:18:180:18:20

For that money, is that

whatever the client wants?

0:18:200:18:22

I have boundaries, which is usually

unsafe sex and drug-taking.

0:18:220:18:27

So, yeah, if they were wanting

any kind of dominance

0:18:270:18:34

or submission scenario,

then that would be within...

0:18:340:18:36

Within my rate.

0:18:360:18:37

If they want any kind of top

or bottom scenario, again,

0:18:370:18:40

that would be within the rate.

0:18:400:18:43

Experts estimate 80% of male sex

workers have an online presence.

0:18:430:18:46

And Daniel is no different.

0:18:460:18:49

He legally advertises his services

through apps and websites.

0:18:490:18:54

We spent the evening

with him, to see what his

0:18:540:18:56

busy periods are like.

0:18:560:18:57

They start at 6pm

and go on until 4am.

0:18:570:19:00

So, you've just got a message?

0:19:000:19:06

Yeah, someone asking if I do sensual

body to body massage

0:19:060:19:08

and what are my rates for that.

0:19:080:19:10

What did you send back?

0:19:100:19:17

I said my rate are

100 for an in-call.

0:19:170:19:19

So, they come and visit

me 100 and 150 out.

0:19:190:19:22

So they said, "Thank you".

0:19:220:19:23

So I think that means

probably my rates are too high.

0:19:230:19:26

So, if I've not worked

by 11pm or something,

0:19:260:19:28

I might consider a lower offer.

0:19:280:19:31

Daniel calls the customer

who's been messaging him.

0:19:310:19:34

Hello?

Are you OK?

0:19:340:19:39

So, you require one hour, yeah?

One hour sensual body-to-body?

0:19:390:19:46

Yeah.

Is that going to be at yours, or..?

0:19:460:19:50

It would be, like,

a full service for that.

0:19:500:19:54

It would be 150 full service

body-to-body massage would be 100.

0:19:540:20:00

OK?

0:20:000:20:00

OK, cheers, bye.

0:20:000:20:06

Yeah, he was looking for a bit

more than the massage.

0:20:060:20:16

So, perhaps we go to him later.

0:20:260:20:28

I don't know, depends

whether he is willing to pay

0:20:280:20:30

the extra £50 or whether that's

what he really wants.

0:20:300:20:32

It sex work legal?

0:20:320:20:33

The short answer is yes.

0:20:330:20:35

You can legally buy and sell sex.

0:20:350:20:36

Where it becomes illegal

is when someone is forced to sell

0:20:360:20:39

themselves against their will.

0:20:390:20:40

When someone works from a brothel

because brothels are illegal

0:20:400:20:42

or when someone solicits for sex

work on the streets.

0:20:420:20:47

Around 5% of male sex workers

operate on the street.

0:20:470:20:51

Manchester has the most male street

sex workers in the country.

0:20:510:20:54

It's centred underneath

the city's famed gay village.

0:20:540:20:58

Hayley Speed works for one of only

a handful of organisations across

0:20:580:21:00

the UK that supports these men.

0:21:000:21:05

When we speak to sex workers

about when they first got

0:21:050:21:08

involved with sex work,

the phrase we hear most commonly is,

0:21:080:21:10

"I started when I was 14, 15."

0:21:100:21:12

That's not sex work when you're 14,

15, that's exploitation.

0:21:120:21:14

But, themselves, wouldn't

use that language.

0:21:140:21:19

That's a really common theme,

that it started so, so young.

0:21:190:21:21

People tell you these things have

happened without any...

0:21:210:21:24

Without seeing it that seriously.

0:21:240:21:25

"Oh my God, I got raped

the other night".

0:21:250:21:28

Like, like, they got

wet from it raining.

0:21:280:21:30

The normalisation of, kind of,

quite extreme behaviours.

0:21:300:21:33

And they kind of, "Oh,

do you want to tell the police?"

0:21:330:21:36

"Well, no, it's just part of,

you know, it's just

0:21:360:21:38

part of the course".

0:21:380:21:39

Fergal McCullough, who runs

the charity along with Hayley,

0:21:390:21:41

took us down to the canalside hub

where male street

0:21:410:21:44

workers operate from.

0:21:440:21:49

Although we did meet some male

sex workers down here,

0:21:490:21:51

we couldn't film those interactions.

0:21:510:21:54

There may be people coming home

from work, wandering through,

0:21:540:22:01

seeing if they can need somebody to,

you know, hook up with.

0:22:010:22:04

That tends to happen down there.

0:22:040:22:06

So, people go down there and engage

in sex down that end.

0:22:060:22:10

Also, cross over there,

as you can see, there's mainline

0:22:100:22:14

drug injecting going on,

on that side of things.

0:22:140:22:17

So, it's quite a busy area, really.

0:22:170:22:20

On the scale of sex work, these

are some of the most vulnerable men?

0:22:200:22:23

Yeah.

0:22:230:22:24

Guys down here would be that more...

0:22:240:22:26

That end, that more, you know,

potentially homeless.

0:22:260:22:29

A lot of them are care leavers.

0:22:290:22:34

If they are not street homeless,

they're sofa surfing.

0:22:340:22:39

They're certainly not working.

0:22:390:22:40

I wouldn't necessarily say

that the guys that you would meet

0:22:400:22:43

down here have made a rational

choice to be in this situation.

0:22:430:22:46

Back at base, we meet Tyler.

0:22:460:22:47

He fled his home town when his

family disowned him for being gay.

0:22:470:22:50

Knowing no-one in the city

and with no money,

0:22:500:22:52

he was forced onto the streets.

0:22:520:22:55

Within a week, he'd

turned to sex work.

0:22:550:23:02

The first time you engaged in that

and you did sex work,

0:23:020:23:05

what was that like?

0:23:050:23:08

Straight afterwards,

you feel disgusting,

0:23:080:23:10

obviously, but you've got

that money, there.

0:23:100:23:13

I started off with one

or two people a night.

0:23:130:23:15

Then more.

0:23:150:23:16

Then more.

0:23:160:23:21

And you get to a point

where you just shut down.

0:23:210:23:24

Can I ask how much you were earning?

0:23:240:23:26

On the streets?

0:23:260:23:27

Zilch.

0:23:270:23:28

50 quid.

0:23:280:23:30

Sometimes nothing.

0:23:300:23:34

Sometimes they'd take it back

and lock you in a car.

0:23:340:23:38

So a punter would lock you in a car?

0:23:380:23:40

And wouldn't let you out

until you gave him the money...

0:23:400:23:42

Money back.

0:23:420:23:43

You say you moved away

from street work?

0:23:430:23:45

I started to go online.

0:23:450:23:46

Online it's better money.

0:23:460:23:47

A lot better money.

0:23:470:23:53

Research seen exclusively by this

programme found over 12% of male sex

0:23:530:23:58

workers they spoke to had been

sexually assaulted in

0:23:580:24:00

the last five years.

0:24:000:24:03

The same study found 70% of male

respondents were unlikely to report

0:24:030:24:06

crimes to the police.

0:24:060:24:08

You were raped by a client?

0:24:080:24:13

I got a job, I got called to go

to a job in a hotel.

0:24:130:24:17

I'd been there an hour

or two, having a drink.

0:24:170:24:19

When I went, there was one person.

0:24:190:24:21

And I woke up...

0:24:210:24:26

No clothes on, on the bed,

sprawled out, with, like,

0:24:260:24:29

four men naked around me.

0:24:290:24:33

And they'd drugged you?

0:24:330:24:34

Mm-hmm.

0:24:340:24:36

They spiked my drink,

so I passed out and within 20

0:24:360:24:39

minutes you're gone for hours.

0:24:390:24:45

So when you woke up and there

are four men around you...

0:24:450:24:48

Masterbating and everything, yeah.

0:24:480:24:53

What was going through your head?

0:24:530:25:00

"Um, what to do?

Do I get up and leave?

0:25:000:25:04

Or if I try to leave,

what will they do?"

0:25:040:25:06

I was just so scared, really.

0:25:060:25:12

I was trying to figure out,

were they here before I passed out?

0:25:120:25:16

I just had to get out of there.

0:25:160:25:18

I had to leave.

0:25:180:25:19

They didn't care.

0:25:190:25:20

They really didn't care.

0:25:200:25:23

They just, literally,

let me leave, normally.

0:25:230:25:28

Not even worried about if I was

going to say anything.

0:25:280:25:30

They just literally didn't care.

0:25:300:25:36

When something like that happened,

and you've been doing sex work,

0:25:360:25:40

some sex workers are reticent

or afraid to go to the police.

0:25:400:25:45

We went there, you

know, not knowing...

0:25:450:25:48

You would never go there if you knew

what was going to happen.

0:25:480:25:53

But you are afraid that people

are going to be, like, "Well,

0:25:530:25:56

you're a sex worker,

it's your own fault".

0:25:560:25:58

I was just afraid.

0:25:580:25:59

Sorry...

0:25:590:26:04

Do you know what really

gets me, though?

0:26:040:26:08

Is the fact that because I'm a guy,

they think it's not as bad

0:26:080:26:12

as a woman being raped,

but it's exactly the same.

0:26:120:26:15

Tyler says he had no choice

but to go into sex work.

0:26:170:26:21

But many others elect to do it.

0:26:210:26:24

It's thought 5% of Britain's

students have engaged

0:26:240:26:26

in some form of sex work.

0:26:260:26:30

Like Tom, who started

while studying.

0:26:300:26:34

And now works in design by day.

0:26:340:26:36

And by night as a sex worker.

0:26:360:26:40

How difficult is it to straddle

those two professions?

0:26:400:26:43

To have those two

lives, if you like?

0:26:430:26:47

I don't think it's difficult,

if you set clear boundaries.

0:26:470:26:50

My career, as I see it,

my job during the day, you know,

0:26:500:26:58

sex work is something which I have

used to supplement my income.

0:26:580:27:01

It was very useful

for me, as a student.

0:27:010:27:06

I could make good money.

My hours are flexible.

0:27:060:27:08

I wasn't struggling.

0:27:080:27:09

So, you get to London,

you say you don't know anybody...

0:27:090:27:12

Yeah.

0:27:120:27:13

You've got no job.

0:27:130:27:14

Yeah.

0:27:140:27:15

How quickly were you able to set

yourself up within the industry?

0:27:150:27:18

Maybe within a month or so.

0:27:180:27:19

I could move to London

and I didn't have to work

0:27:190:27:22

in a bar for minimum wage.

0:27:220:27:23

You know, I think that a lot

of people might look at what I do,

0:27:230:27:27

you know, find it quite distasteful.

0:27:270:27:28

That's fine, that's

their prerogative.

0:27:280:27:29

But for me, the idea

of working for minimum wage,

0:27:290:27:32

you know, long hours,

it's just perverse.

0:27:320:27:34

So it works for me.

0:27:340:27:36

That's the biggest thing,

you know, that I try to get

0:27:360:27:39

across to people, it works for me.

0:27:390:27:46

Drugs and male sex work

are inextricably linked.

0:27:460:27:48

Due in large part to chemsex.

0:27:480:27:52

It's a growing trend

where drugs are used

0:27:520:27:54

to heighten sexual experience.

0:27:540:27:56

By default, it's become one

of the main services

0:27:560:27:59

sex workers now offer.

0:27:590:28:01

The drugs of choice

are the methamphetamine, crystal

0:28:010:28:03

meth and the psycho active GHB.

0:28:030:28:08

Toby has been a sex worker

for 18 months and now 50%

0:28:080:28:11

of his clients are for chemsex.

0:28:110:28:13

It's got that, sort of,

junkie look to it.

0:28:130:28:21

You said it looked quite junkie, do

you think of yourself as a junkie?

0:28:210:28:24

No, but when I show

someone who doesn't know

0:28:240:28:26

what it is or doesn't do it or even

sometimes when I look at it,

0:28:260:28:30

I see how dirty it is.

0:28:300:28:32

I think, "Yeah,

that's pretty nasty".

0:28:320:28:33

What is the chemsex scene?

0:28:330:28:35

It basically involves getting high

and having sex together.

0:28:350:28:37

Often for extended periods of time.

0:28:370:28:38

That would normally be the case.

0:28:380:28:40

That is possible because

of the drugs we take.

0:28:400:28:43

What sort of period

of time are we talking?

0:28:430:28:46

Sometimes people will get high

and it will be for a few hours.

0:28:460:28:49

You know, it won't be

a constant process.

0:28:490:28:51

Sort of, stop-start.

0:28:510:28:59

People will be getting high

in the middle of that.

0:28:590:29:01

But in other cases, it will last

for a weekend or several days.

0:29:010:29:05

So, before you did sex work,

18 months ago, what were you doing?

0:29:050:29:08

The stuff I was doing

was pretty minimum wage kind

0:29:080:29:15

of work, £9 an hour, you know.

0:29:150:29:17

I'd have to work a good 12-hour day

to make the same amount of money

0:29:170:29:20

I can make in an hour

doing this job.

0:29:200:29:22

Would you say you are addicted?

0:29:220:29:24

If I'm doing the sex work and I'm

in my apartment then, yes,

0:29:240:29:27

I am addicted in that environment.

0:29:270:29:29

But if I take myself out of that

environment, it's very easy

0:29:290:29:32

not to think about it.

0:29:320:29:41

The drugs used in chemsex are,

of course, illegal but sex work

0:29:410:29:45

itself is becoming

increasingly legitimate.

0:29:450:29:50

Back in 2015, the Government

launched a drive to get sex workers

0:29:500:29:53

to pay tax on their income.

0:29:530:29:54

But it can still be

a lonely business.

0:29:540:29:57

Research seen exclusively by this

programme found 20% of men

0:29:570:29:59

they spoke to felt isolated.

0:29:590:30:04

Do you have people who you consider

friends in your life?

0:30:040:30:08

Umm, I would say only

through my work, yeah,

0:30:080:30:11

because that's where I do most

of my socialising.

0:30:110:30:16

Yeah, I have a few clients

who become close friends.

0:30:160:30:24

Of all the men we spoke

to on and off camera,

0:30:240:30:27

when we asked what their families

thought about what they did,

0:30:270:30:30

the vast majority refused

to talk about it.

0:30:300:30:34

And out of the four we did speak to,

three of them would only

0:30:340:30:37

talk to us anonymously,

for fear of their

0:30:370:30:39

families finding out.

0:30:390:30:42

Thank you for your comments, Katie

says it's such an important story,

0:30:520:30:57

no exposure and hardly anywhere to

go for men forced into that life.

0:30:570:31:03

Anthony on Facebook, my personal

belief is that sex work should be

0:31:030:31:07

legalised and controlled that way it

reduces violence, STI, crime and

0:31:070:31:13

abuse. If somebody wants to sell

their body it is theirs to sell. And

0:31:130:31:17

James says the Manchester men's room

does fantastic work. He says he's

0:31:170:31:22

watching now Andy West and he wishes

he knew of them before.

0:31:220:31:28

More on this after 10am.

0:31:280:31:33

Also after 10am - we'll speak

to the ex-wife of serial

0:31:330:31:36

killer Levi Bellfield -

about why she feels guilt over

0:31:360:31:38

whether she could have reported him

to the police earlier.

0:31:380:31:41

And - a gambling commission report

due out in the net few minutes

0:31:410:31:44

is expected to show that about half

a million children and young

0:31:440:31:47

people gamble every week -

some as young as 11.

0:31:470:31:49

We'll bring you the details

as soon as it's released.

0:31:490:31:57

You might be able to hear children

and babies in the studio, that is

0:31:570:32:01

because we will be talking about

breast-feeding and if mothers should

0:32:010:32:05

be paid effectively, in vouchers, to

breast-feed.

0:32:050:32:10

Four people are

0:32:100:32:16

Our top story today -

four people are being questioned

0:32:160:32:19

on suspicion of murder,

after three children died

0:32:190:32:21

in a house fire in Salford,

early yesterday morning.

0:32:210:32:23

Their mother and another three

year-old child remain in a serious

0:32:230:32:25

condition in hospital.

0:32:250:32:26

police confirmed they had been in

contact with the family very

0:32:260:32:28

recently and had visited the house

in the hours before the blaze. The

0:32:280:32:31

case has been referred to the

Independent Police Complaints

0:32:310:32:33

Commission.

0:32:330:32:35

Temperatures of minus 13 celsius

have been recorded in Shropshire

0:32:350:32:38

on what was the coldest night

of the year so far.

0:32:380:32:41

The Met Office has extended yellow

warnings for snow and ice

0:32:410:32:50

until later this morning and the AA

has warned driving

0:32:500:32:53

could be "hazardous".

0:32:530:32:53

Hundreds of schools will stay closed

for a second successive day.

0:32:530:32:56

The US ambassador to Britain says

he expects Donald Trump to visit

0:32:560:32:59

the UK in the new year

despite his recent Twitter

0:32:590:33:01

row with Theresa May.

0:33:010:33:03

Woody Johnson told BBC Radio

4's Today programme

0:33:030:33:04

that the disagreement

was "probably misinterpreted".

0:33:040:33:07

Mrs May had said Mr Trump

was "wrong" to share videos posted

0:33:070:33:10

by the far-right group

Britain First, prompting an online

0:33:100:33:14

backlash from the US President.

0:33:140:33:23

the industry regulator for gambling

is warning that children as young as

0:33:230:33:28

11 are cults -- so-called skin

betting websites which lets people

0:33:280:33:36

gamble with items as if they work

currency. The items can then be sold

0:33:360:33:44

and turned back into real money. It

is part of a wider report for the

0:33:440:33:48

gambling commission. What were you

like when you were to end a half?

0:33:480:33:59

You were like that! Of course you

were! We will hear more from Edwards

0:33:590:34:04

in a moment after the sport.

He is having a great time, it is

0:34:040:34:12

like that here everyday! Here are

the headlines, Alastair Cook says

0:34:120:34:17

England's of field disciplinary

issues have been overblown by the

0:34:170:34:20

media but accepts they cannot afford

to make any more mistakes. England

0:34:200:34:24

are 2-0 down in the Ashes and head

of the third test which starts on

0:34:240:34:29

Thursday morning. Conflicting

stories emerging of the Manchester

0:34:290:34:32

United and Manchester City practice.

0:34:320:34:42

The Stoke City players were

confronted by their own angry fans

0:34:460:34:50

after arriving home by train from

their 5-1 defeat at Spurs over the

0:34:500:34:55

weekend. Manager Mark Hughes says it

might be the reality check his

0:34:550:34:59

players need. Reigning champions

Saracens suffered the heaviest

0:34:590:35:02

European defeat last night, the

match had been put back a day

0:35:020:35:09

because of the snow with fans

initially banned and then allowed to

0:35:090:35:12

attend the match. That is offer now,

full update after 10am.

0:35:120:35:20

Thank you, so many comments about

breast-feeding. Shopping vouchers

0:35:200:35:24

would have made no difference to the

fact that I could not breast-feed.

0:35:240:35:27

We need to be more honest about how

hard it can be. Nobody tells you the

0:35:270:35:32

truth, you're just told it is the

most natural thing in the world and

0:35:320:35:36

then feel an immense failure when

you cannot do it. The suggestion

0:35:360:35:40

about shopping vouchers makes me

feel more frustrated with how out of

0:35:400:35:43

touch professionals are with the

tactics they need to employ. This

0:35:430:35:49

text says no, women should not be

paid to breast-feed as it will

0:35:490:35:53

further alienate those who cannot

manage to do so. After all they have

0:35:530:35:57

two paper bottles and formula,

sterilisers and so forth. Women who

0:35:570:36:02

breast-feed are originally

financially better off I'm not made

0:36:020:36:06

to feel guilty. I was lucky to be

able to feed my son my self and it's

0:36:060:36:10

not easy for many women and many

women do not choose to bottle feed

0:36:100:36:15

but cannot manage. Another says

absolute rubbish, I was made to feel

0:36:150:36:20

like a failure. Did see a mother be

given a reward for breast-feeding is

0:36:200:36:27

another kick in the teeth.

0:36:270:36:35

Let's get the latest inflation

figures which have just come out, it

0:36:350:36:37

has risen to its highest level in

almost six years. Ben Bland, what is

0:36:370:36:45

inflation?

The average prices we

play in the shops for all sorts of

0:36:450:36:49

things, the figure we have got today

shows us how much those prices

0:36:490:36:52

changed on average in November this

year compared with November last

0:36:520:36:56

year, it is a year on year change

and the figure is 3.1%. Higher than

0:36:560:37:02

a lot of economists predicted.

Previously it had been stable at 3%,

0:37:020:37:07

this means prices are increasing

more rapidly than they were the

0:37:070:37:11

month before. That is significant

because it means wages, the latest

0:37:110:37:16

data, they are increasing something

like 2.2%, so wages are not going up

0:37:160:37:21

as fast so people feel the cost of

living getting more expensive and

0:37:210:37:24

the Bank of England target is 2%, if

it is more than 1% above that the

0:37:240:37:31

Bank of England governor has to

write a Philip Hammond and say this

0:37:310:37:34

is a problem and this is how we are

tackling it.

And how might the Bank

0:37:340:37:39

of England tackle it?

The most

obvious way is to increase the base

0:37:390:37:45

interest rate. They did that at the

beginning of the November by the

0:37:450:37:48

slightest amount, .25% so it is now

at 0.5%. That stops the flow of

0:37:480:37:57

money into the economy and stops

people having so much more to spend

0:37:570:38:01

the push prices up. But if wages are

not going up that usual method, the

0:38:010:38:07

bank might be reluctant because if

people's wages don't go up they

0:38:070:38:10

don't want to make life harder by

putting mortgage prices up because

0:38:100:38:14

it could cause the economy to

stagnate. They are in a tricky

0:38:140:38:18

position. The expectation is that

still amongst a lot of economists,

0:38:180:38:25

that the bank will not move interest

rates any higher because it is

0:38:250:38:29

worried about this lag in wage

growth.

Thank you very much.

0:38:290:38:33

Should new mums be given

financial incentives

0:38:330:38:35

to breastfeed their babies?

0:38:350:38:36

A new study of 10,000 women found

that offering shopping vouchers

0:38:360:38:40

of up to £200 to new mothers led

to a significant

0:38:400:38:43

increase in the uptake.

0:38:430:38:46

Critics describe it as bribing

but breast-feeding rates

0:38:460:38:51

here in the UK are among the lowest

in the world - studies suggest less

0:38:510:38:54

than one percent of babies

here are still being breast-fed

0:38:540:39:03

after a year - compared

to 23% in Germany.

0:39:030:39:11

And in some parts

of the UK, only 12%

0:39:110:39:13

of six-to-eight-week-olds

are breast-fed.

0:39:130:39:19

What are you thinking about this, if

you have struggled, would this have

0:39:190:39:23

incentivised you more? Please let me

know your views.

0:39:230:39:27

Let's talk about that with mums -

Carmen Pagor and Holly Leppard -

0:39:270:39:31

and their babies Orla and Amadea.

0:39:310:39:32

And one of the people who benefited

from the voucher scheme Sarah Ardon,

0:39:320:39:35

with her son Edward,

who's now two and a half.

0:39:350:39:42

Edwards is over there at the moment

so I will wander over and hopefully

0:39:420:39:46

he will join us at some point.

0:39:460:39:49

Thank you all for coming in,

especially with your children,

0:39:490:39:53

really appreciate it. Let's get a

quick reaction from all of you on

0:39:530:39:57

what you think of this idea and then

Sarah we will ask you about your

0:39:570:40:00

specific experience. Good idea?

I

think so, it raises awareness about

0:40:000:40:06

the benefits. I think it's just an

extra incentive to try it. It's your

0:40:060:40:14

own personal choice, whether you

choose or bottle feed but I do think

0:40:140:40:20

it's an incentive.

Holly?

I think it

is appalling. I do not agree with

0:40:200:40:27

being paid to produce breastmilk,

many women cannot. I was one of

0:40:270:40:35

those people. I think that the money

would be better spent if it went

0:40:350:40:39

back into the actual services of

breast-feeding. So even, physical

0:40:390:40:43

support for mothers out in the

community, that seems to be a big

0:40:430:40:48

issue. And a reason why a lot of

women fail, I say fail, in brackets.

0:40:480:41:03

Tongue tying is another major issue,

if they started putting funding into

0:41:030:41:07

that it would be much more

worthwhile.

I am glad Edwards is

0:41:070:41:13

having a great time, let me ask you

what you think of this idea?

I have

0:41:130:41:21

mixed views, I agree there is no

point at all into giving money for a

0:41:210:41:25

shopping vouchers if there is no

support for women who want to

0:41:250:41:28

continue to breast-feed but I also

think it might make mothers feel

0:41:280:41:35

valued if they do get some

incentive. And at different points.

0:41:350:41:39

I like the way they have broken it

down and given I think some of the

0:41:390:41:43

vouchers were given as early as two

days so women who choose to, or can

0:41:430:41:48

produce breastmilk, we'll get some

incentive with the vouchers very

0:41:480:41:53

early. To me that kind of says that

all breastmilk is valuable, even if

0:41:530:41:59

it is just one feed, if you can. But

I do think it's completely pointless

0:41:590:42:05

if there is not the support.

Sarah,

what was your experience, benefiting

0:42:050:42:11

from these vouchers, where you

planning to breast-feed anyway?

I

0:42:110:42:15

was hoping to from the beginning.

So

these were a bonus?

Yeah, for me it

0:42:150:42:24

was an extra help. I chose the

vouchers for Morrisons because I

0:42:240:42:30

wanted to give Edwards better

breastmilk, buy healthier food,

0:42:300:42:36

vitamins, more traditional food.

And

what about the support which has

0:42:360:42:43

been raised, whether people to help

you?

I found I got quite a lot of

0:42:430:42:50

support from my midwife at the

start. I had a trainee midwife is

0:42:500:42:56

well supporting me. So at 1.I had

two midwives supporting me. I did

0:42:560:43:05

feel I had the support in place as

well as the vouchers.

Did Edward

0:43:050:43:12

latch on immediately, did you need

the midwife to help?

Yeah, yeah. At

0:43:120:43:18

1.I had an incidence where he was

underweight but I think they had

0:43:180:43:25

scrapped the guidelines but they

said he was underweight and wanted

0:43:250:43:30

me to formula feed which was not a

choice I had, I did not want to do

0:43:300:43:34

that. I did it for one night and I

said I don't want to do this, I want

0:43:340:43:41

to breast-feed. I thought maybe I

should express my milk so I had to

0:43:410:43:53

buy bottles and pumps and express. I

did have the support from both of

0:43:530:44:00

those to show how to latch properly

and how to express. I felt it was in

0:44:000:44:06

place.

I will bring in Louise and I

think is in Bristol, or that is her

0:44:060:44:11

surname, she is in Bristol or her

surname is Bristol.

I am in Bristol.

0:44:110:44:19

Thank you for joining us, your baby

was born in August, what do you

0:44:190:44:24

think of the financial incentive

scheme?

I have to agree with the

0:44:240:44:31

second two mothers, I release

troubled with breast-feeding.

0:44:310:44:35

INAUDIBLE

NHS breast is best etc but when it

0:44:350:44:44

came to it I did not have enough

supply and my baby lost too much

0:44:440:44:48

weight so we had to top up with

formula and I just felt like a

0:44:480:44:52

complete failure. For me, vouchers

is another thing those people that

0:44:520:44:58

are struggling with it, it's another

thing compounding the failure

0:44:580:45:05

surrounding breast-feeding if you

are unable to do it.

Let's talk

0:45:050:45:12

about this, it's such a devastating

feeling if you end up feeling like a

0:45:120:45:21

failure, yet, it would be good, do

we accept, all of us, that to

0:45:210:45:27

increase the breast-feeding rates in

Britain would be a good thing? So

0:45:270:45:29

how do we do that?

0:45:290:45:35

Absolutely.

Right, how do we do

that?

Right from the antenatal phase

0:45:350:45:42

when you're going to have your

guidance from the NHS rather than

0:45:420:45:47

just pushing breast-feeding right

from the start. It is being

0:45:470:45:51

inclusive environment. Inviting

people to come and learn about

0:45:510:45:54

infant feeding rather than

breast-feeding. Really talking about

0:45:540:45:59

the issues that can arise when you

breast-feed. Reasons why people have

0:45:590:46:03

to bottle feed. Reasons why people

have to formula feed.

To be really

0:46:030:46:08

open about the realities?

Really

open about it.

So that takes the

0:46:080:46:12

pressure off?

Potentially and just

better services from the word go.

0:46:120:46:19

OK.

I know you support it and that's

brilliant.

Two midwives. One was a

0:46:190:46:27

trainee, but two. That's unheard of.

:

That's few and far between.

This

0:46:270:46:33

is from Libby. "I have never

contacted a live TV show. I am

0:46:330:46:39

appalled at the latest pressure for

women to breast-feed. I am a new mum

0:46:390:46:45

and I became depressed after feeling

a failure that I couldn't get on

0:46:450:46:49

with breast-feeding. I was offered

support and constantly reminded how

0:46:490:46:54

I wasn't giving me child the best

start in life because I didn't

0:46:540:46:57

breast-feed. The midwives gave a

talk and anyone who asked about

0:46:570:47:05

bottle-feeding said they were not

allowed to give this information.

0:47:050:47:07

This is ridiculous and at worse

dangerous as many mums wanted safety

0:47:070:47:12

advice on bottle-feeding. I felt so

guilty about not being able to

0:47:120:47:17

breast-feed as if I was deliberately

harming my son. For God's sake,

0:47:170:47:23

being a parent is hard enough, give

us autonomy over how we chose to

0:47:230:47:28

feed our children." What do you

think?

I think that's probably a

0:47:280:47:32

story that's heard a lot a across

the country and one thing I hear

0:47:320:47:36

from that is the lack of support and

we were chatting before and I think

0:47:360:47:42

she also reports there about not

being allowed to be told, only about

0:47:420:47:49

bottle-feeding and that is all in

the education and also education of

0:47:490:47:55

health practitioners how to

communicate sensitively which I

0:47:550:47:58

think a lot of the time is missing.

Peu was going to read what the Royal

0:47:580:48:06

College of Midwives say, "We believe

the motive for breast-feeding cannot

0:48:060:48:11

be motivated by offering financial

reward. Qlts the Department of

0:48:110:48:16

Health, "We encourage breast-feeding

for six months because of the

0:48:160:48:19

benefits. It is important new mums

are supported by midwives and their

0:48:190:48:24

health visitor to help them make

informed decisions about

0:48:240:48:27

breast-feeding." Which you would

like to think would include

0:48:270:48:32

information about bottle-feeding and

formula.

There is a huge divide

0:48:320:48:36

between breast-feeding and

bottle-feeding. There doesn't need

0:48:360:48:38

to be. We just want happy babies,

but happy babies that are fed and

0:48:380:48:46

well nourished, thriving, and of

course, you know, I am a huge

0:48:460:48:52

advocate for successful

breast-feeding, but we're doing

0:48:520:48:54

something wrong and I think by

bribing, which essentially is what

0:48:540:48:59

it is, bribing mothers to

breast-feed, it could be a very

0:48:590:49:05

dangerous practise as that lady put

in the e-mail.

Thank you very much

0:49:050:49:08

for coming on to the programme.

Really appreciate hearing from

0:49:080:49:12

Edward and getting the smiles from

the two little girls. Thank you very

0:49:120:49:19

much. I know it has taken an effort

to get her with children and on

0:49:190:49:24

trains. We really appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

0:49:240:49:29

Your views welcome. Plenty of time

to read your messages and to talk to

0:49:290:49:35

you wherever you are in the country.

Thank you to Louise in Bristol.

0:49:350:49:47

We will hear from some of those

calling on Donald Donald Trump to

0:49:470:49:54

stay away.

0:49:540:49:56

About 500,000 children and young

people gamble every week according

0:49:570:49:59

to a Gambling Commission report

released in the last half an hour.

0:49:590:50:06

The industry regulator is warning

that children as young as 11

0:50:060:50:08

are using so-called skin betting

websites which let players gamble

0:50:080:50:14

with virtual items such as currency.

0:50:140:50:17

Once those items are won online,

usually modified guns or knives

0:50:170:50:20

within a video game known as a skin,

they can be sold and turned

0:50:200:50:23

back into real money

and there are concerns that it's

0:50:230:50:25

leading young people

into gambling earlier.

0:50:250:50:27

Here's how it works.

0:50:270:50:37

He ended up losing £1200.

I know

someone who lost £2,000.

Very

0:50:380:50:44

addictive. It is like any other

gambling.

0:50:440:50:54

It's hard to ask your parents for

£1,000, it is easier to ask for a

0:51:300:51:38

tenner. You could grab your parents

credit card and enter the detail.

0:51:380:51:42

It's instant. It is in front of you,

a few clicks, double the value of

0:51:420:51:49

the infantry. After a few months you

will have a military worth a couple

0:51:490:51:59

of hundred. OK, I want to double

this. So you go to a site and put

0:51:590:52:02

all of it on and fur' lucky, you can

make a lot of money potentially. It

0:52:020:52:06

doesn't feel like it's real money

because it's skins. It's virtual

0:52:060:52:10

items. When you win, it feels

exciting. It is addictive. You win

0:52:100:52:15

it once and you think why can't I

win it again? I put £10 Pods, I got

0:52:150:52:21

£20, why not turn it into £40? If

I'm on this lucky streak, I want to

0:52:210:52:26

keep going. When you lose, if I'm

going to be honest, it doesn't feel

0:52:260:52:30

anything because it's not like you

lost £200 from your bank account.

0:52:300:52:33

I've lost a lot more than that. It's

quite obvious it's aimed towards

0:52:330:52:45

younger people. Younger people are

less responsible with their money.

0:52:450:52:48

They're going to fall for flashy

animated pictures saying, "Wow, win

0:52:480:52:53

this. Double your money." The only

age protection thing was one pop-up

0:52:530:52:59

saying, "Are you over 18?" Yes.

There you go, you can spend as much

0:52:590:53:04

money as you like. There is no

gamble responsibly. None of that, it

0:53:040:53:08

is straight up, free-for-all really.

You don't see an 11-year-old walk

0:53:080:53:13

into a betting shop and betting £200

on a horse race, you know, but you

0:53:130:53:17

can do it with this. There is no

stopping that.

0:53:170:53:27

Ryan used £2,000 of his

student loan to gamble

0:53:270:53:29

and that's the £2,000 that he lost.

0:53:290:53:30

Tim Miller is from the

Gambling Commission.

0:53:300:53:34

Mark Potter is an ex-gambling addict

who speaks to kids and teachers

0:53:340:53:36

about gambling for an organisation

called EPIC Risk Management.

0:53:360:53:39

Liz Garter is a gambling

addiction therapist.

0:53:390:53:45

Welcome all of you. This 400,000

figure is pretty alarming, isn't it?

0:53:450:53:50

I think it sends a really clear

message that there is much nor that

0:53:500:53:54

needs to be done to protect children

from gambling. It is a slight fall

0:53:540:53:57

from last year, but I don't think we

should be celebrating yet. There are

0:53:570:54:01

many new and emerging areas where

children are becoming more exposed

0:54:010:54:06

to gambling-type behaviours.

400,00011 to 16-year-olds have

0:54:060:54:10

gambled, but pick out a couple of

others for us?

So that represents

0:54:100:54:15

about 12% of 11 to 16-year-olds

gambling in the last week and the

0:54:150:54:19

common area that we are seeing them

gambling on bets between friends

0:54:190:54:23

which is legal, but nevertheless is

still gambling. Buying scratchcards

0:54:230:54:28

with their parents, playing on fruit

machines in pubs as well, and what

0:54:280:54:31

we are seeing as well are the

emerging areas of gambling online in

0:54:310:54:36

relation to computer games which is

an area as many parents we won't

0:54:360:54:40

necessarily know about.

How would

parents spot the signs?

I think it

0:54:400:54:45

can be quite hard and I think it

links with one of the headlines that

0:54:450:54:50

interested me the most which was

have you children reported having

0:54:500:54:55

had a meaningful conversation with a

parent or a teacher? I think 39%

0:54:550:55:00

said they talked to a parent or a

parent had talked to them about the

0:55:000:55:04

potential harms of gambling and only

18% of teachers and I think that's

0:55:040:55:08

because...

If I talk to my kids

about harm of gmbling, it is like

0:55:080:55:14

anything, well, it is not going to

happen to them, they are invincible,

0:55:140:55:17

you know.

I think part of the

problem is that, as parents and

0:55:170:55:22

teachers and as a society, we don't

actually know what the potential

0:55:220:55:26

harms are so we don't know how to

describe it. I think when it comes

0:55:260:55:30

to gambling, we get often hooked on

the money aspect and of course,

0:55:300:55:37

devastating debt is a consequence of

gambling, but what we need to

0:55:370:55:41

educate is that the hooks are not

initially financial ones. They are

0:55:410:55:48

actually either experiencing a high

from winning and feeling like a

0:55:480:55:53

winner or from getting completely

absorbed and lost in that experience

0:55:530:55:57

of gambling.

Let me bring in Mark.

Hi, Mark, what do you say to

0:55:570:56:02

children, you can't go in

straightaway, gambling is terrible,

0:56:020:56:07

look what happened to me. How do you

draw young people into the

0:56:070:56:10

conversation so they are willing to

listen?

You have got to understand

0:56:100:56:13

that children of today, it really

got the first tech savvy generation,

0:56:130:56:19

they have access to iPads, laptops

and mobile phones. What we try and

0:56:190:56:23

do, we understand that we are not

going to be able to stop them going

0:56:230:56:26

online and accessing the type of

games. So we go into schools and try

0:56:260:56:29

to educate them about the dangers of

problematic gambling, whether that

0:56:290:56:33

be through hard hitting personal

stories, gambling facts, we use the

0:56:330:56:39

gam gabling spectrum and hopefully

make the kids make better informed

0:56:390:56:45

decision so when they turn 17 or 18

and are allowed to access gambling

0:56:450:56:49

sites so they have the better

informed decisions as to not fall

0:56:490:56:55

off the clip and make gambling

become problematic.

How would you

0:56:550:57:01

presay your own personal story to

them?

We do a don't pull any

0:57:010:57:05

punches, why I use my own personal

story as does Paul and Justin from

0:57:050:57:10

Epic and we really just sort of tell

some home truths and give everybody

0:57:100:57:15

the facts.

Live us some home truths

right now.

For my personal

0:57:150:57:21

experience...

Yes.

It almost cost me

my marriage. It cost me employment.

0:57:210:57:31

So generally, I think coming from

somebody who had the experience in

0:57:310:57:35

it it tends to hit home an awful lot

better than somebody who maybe

0:57:350:57:40

reeling off facts and figures.

Liz

have you treated under-16s?

Yes, I

0:57:400:57:45

have. I have certainly treated

people who started at a very young

0:57:450:57:49

age and what I'm finding

increasingly is that the problem

0:57:490:57:53

started with over use and I

emphasise over use of social media

0:57:530:57:59

and social gaming.

How many hours a

day is over use?

That very much

0:57:590:58:04

depends on the individual. When I

work with somebody, screens aside, I

0:58:040:58:07

say if it is creating a problem for

you, it is creating a problem and I

0:58:070:58:11

think when it comes to very young

people, they are at the very

0:58:110:58:15

formative stage of their life, of

course. As a therapist in general, I

0:58:150:58:19

think, you know, if we look at the

basic things that help us to have

0:58:190:58:23

happy and healthy lives, it is the

ability to self reflect, developing

0:58:230:58:31

healthy relational skills and

emotional resilience and if we're

0:58:310:58:36

spending all day, or most of our

time involved in a digital game, be

0:58:360:58:42

it social gaming, or social media,

we are blocking opportunities to

0:58:420:58:46

develop.

One final point to you Tim Miller,

0:58:460:58:51

we saw from our film how easy it is

to say of course, I'm over 18,

0:58:510:58:56

click. That's not good enough?

The

regulator's space there are strong

0:58:560:59:01

protections and we are reviewing and

at the moment we're tightening that

0:59:010:59:04

up. The issue is some of this falls

outside the regulated gambling space

0:59:040:59:08

and I think it is important...

Does

that bit fall outside that?

If it

0:59:080:59:14

crosses that line to become gambling

we take clear action. Earlier this

0:59:140:59:19

year we prosecuted two people who

crossed the line.

Sorry you

0:59:190:59:23

prosecuted companies or young

people?

We prosecuted two

0:59:230:59:28

high-profile YouTube users who were

allowing children to gamble on

0:59:280:59:33

computer games. This is a child

protection issue. If we are to

0:59:330:59:38

properly protect children, we need

to work together, parents, the

0:59:380:59:41

computer games industry and social

media companies. If we work together

0:59:410:59:44

then we can keep children safe.

OK,

we will see if that happens. Thank

0:59:440:59:48

you very much. I appreciate your

time. Thanks, Mark.

0:59:480:59:52

The news in sport in a moment.

Carol, the weather.

0:59:520:59:59

Lying snow hour across parts of the

British Isles. Quite a bit of snow

1:00:031:00:09

and parts of Worcestershire and

Shropshire we still have some

1:00:091:00:13

freezing fog, just nicely on that

snow plain. Shropshire last night

1:00:131:00:19

fell to -13, at the moment parts are

still at -13 but you can see the

1:00:191:00:25

current temperature range we have,

the Isles of Scilly really sticking

1:00:251:00:32

out at plus nine, they have more

cloud and rain. If you are

1:00:321:00:36

travelling there is lying snow and

ice, temperatures are low, take

1:00:361:00:42

extra care through the course of the

day, not just the morning. Many

1:00:421:00:47

looking at a dry day with a fair bit

of sunshine once the fog lifts but

1:00:471:00:51

there is more cloud coming through

the West, ahead of this weather

1:00:511:00:54

front which will introduce wet and

windy conditions. The brighter skies

1:00:541:00:59

today are going to remain across the

far South East and you can see where

1:00:591:01:03

we have got the cloud building ahead

of the weather front and then back

1:01:031:01:07

into the sunshine across Kent,

Essex, East Anglia, parts of

1:01:071:01:11

Cambridgeshire and heading up the

east coast of England. Meanwhile for

1:01:111:01:14

the rest of the Midlands, heading up

the Pennines into north-west

1:01:141:01:19

England, more cloud building, in

Scotland it is the far east which

1:01:191:01:22

hangs onto the cold weather but the

sunshine, in the West there is

1:01:221:01:27

already rain and Hill snow. The

winds strengthening as well in

1:01:271:01:32

Northern Ireland, the rain continues

from the west to the east and it

1:01:321:01:35

fringes across West Wales, the rest

of Wales dry and bright. The same as

1:01:351:01:41

well, showers ahead of the rain

coming across south-west England,

1:01:411:01:45

the further east you travel the

brighter the skies. There goes the

1:01:451:01:50

rain heading down towards the

south-east, accompanied by gusting

1:01:501:01:54

winds. Break in the cloud behind and

then you can see the next weather

1:01:541:01:58

front is starting to show its hand

in introducing showery outbreaks of

1:01:581:02:03

rain with Hill snow. Temperature

wise, this shows what you can expect

1:02:031:02:12

in towns and cities, it will be

colder than this in the rural areas

1:02:121:02:16

but not quite as cold as the night

just gone. Tomorrow morning at the

1:02:161:02:20

first fund moves quite quickly

taking the rain with it, the second

1:02:201:02:24

comes hot on its heels introducing

showery rain and also snow.

1:02:241:02:28

Increasingly through the day we will

see snow through Scotland and

1:02:281:02:33

Northern Ireland, and potential

across north-west England.

1:02:331:02:41

Opt in or opt out of organ donation?

1:02:411:02:42

Opt in or opt out of organ donation?

1:02:421:02:44

The government is proposing a big

change by moving to a system

1:02:441:02:46

of 'presumed consent' in England.

1:02:461:02:52

When you lose someone and they have

given that gift, that huge gift, you

1:02:521:02:57

are immensely proud of them and it

fills you with comfort that other

1:02:571:03:03

families are actually enjoying the

lives of their loved ones where they

1:03:031:03:06

may not have done.

1:03:061:03:08

We'll hear from a father who made

the decision to donate the organs

1:03:081:03:13

of his 16-year-old son,

and the man who benefitted.

1:03:131:03:16

Also - we've gained rare access

into the world of male sex workers

1:03:161:03:19

who speak in candid terms

about their experiences.

1:03:191:03:23

What really gets me is the fact that

because I am a guy they think it's

1:03:231:03:29

not as bad as a woman being raped

but it's exactly the same.

1:03:291:03:34

Research seen by our programme

suggests that 12% of male sex

1:03:341:03:37

workers have been sexually assaulted

in the last 5 years -

1:03:371:03:41

but most are unlikely to report

the crime to the police.

1:03:411:03:46

The full story before 11am.

1:03:461:03:49

And - the former partner of serial

killer Levi Bellfield tells this

1:03:491:03:52

programme she lives with the guilt

that she didn't report him

1:03:521:03:54

to the police sooner.

1:03:541:03:55

Good morning.

1:04:021:04:03

Here's Ben in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of todays news.

1:04:031:04:12

Inflation rose to 3.1% in November,

the highest in nearly six years.

1:04:121:04:15

It means the squeeze on what

households can afford, continues.

1:04:151:04:19

The Office for National

Statistics said that

1:04:191:04:21

airfares and computer games

contributed to the increase.

1:04:211:04:27

The most recent data shows average

weekly wages are growing at just

1:04:271:04:32

over 2%. In November the bank of

England raised the interest rate in

1:04:321:04:36

the first time in more than a

decade, from a quarter of percent to

1:04:361:04:42

half a percent. Four people are

being questioned on suspicion of

1:04:421:04:46

murder after three children died in

a house in Salford early yesterday

1:04:461:04:50

morning. Their mother and a

three-year-old child remained in

1:04:501:04:55

serious condition in hospital.

Police confirmed they had been in

1:04:551:04:57

contact with the family very

recently and visited the house in

1:04:571:05:01

the hours before the blaze. This

case has been referred to the

1:05:011:05:08

Independent Police Complaints

Commission. Temperatures of -13 have

1:05:081:05:11

been recorded in Shropshire on the

coldest night of the year so far.

1:05:111:05:14

The Met office extended yellow

warnings were snow and ice until

1:05:141:05:18

late this morning and the EU has

warned driving could be hazardous.

1:05:181:05:31

The industry regulator for gambling

is warning that children as young

1:05:331:05:35

as 11 are using so-called skin

betting websites, which let players

1:05:351:05:38

gamble with virtual items

as if they are currency.

1:05:381:05:40

The items are often modified guns

or knives within a video game,

1:05:401:05:43

which is what's known as a 'skin'.

1:05:431:05:45

The items can then be sold

and turned back in to real money.

1:05:451:05:48

It's part of a wider report

for The Gambling Commission

1:05:481:05:50

which says that around 370,000 11

to 16-year-olds have

1:05:501:05:52

spent their own money

on gambling in the past week.

1:05:521:05:58

That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 10:30am.

1:05:581:06:02

So many comments about financial

incentives for breast-feeding. Gemma

1:06:041:06:09

says I had a double mastectomy when

I was 25 because of a breast cancer

1:06:091:06:14

diagnosis. Obviously I cannot

breast-feed my now three-month-old

1:06:141:06:18

son and have been racked with guilt.

I have been completely supported by

1:06:181:06:23

midwives and other health

professionals and it's not been a

1:06:231:06:26

problem and I should be given

vouchers to buy formula. Another

1:06:261:06:30

saying that I breast-fed my first

child until he was 22 months and am

1:06:301:06:35

currently feeding my second who is

just over two months. I would not

1:06:351:06:38

have been able to breast-feed my

first without support from midwives

1:06:381:06:42

and others. I think the money spent

on vouchers would be better spent on

1:06:421:06:47

improving emotional support as well

as breast-feeding services as this

1:06:471:06:52

could in turn improve the rates.

This from a senior midwife, I find

1:06:521:06:58

it extremely difficult to

breast-feed my daughter despite the

1:06:581:07:00

reality of knowing exactly how to

breast-feed. Mums are under pressure

1:07:001:07:05

and a voucher scheme in my opinion

will not prevent these problems or

1:07:051:07:09

increase uptake. And this on text

says I am on maternity leave with my

1:07:091:07:14

six-week-old son who is exclusively

breast-fed. We have been lucky, it

1:07:141:07:18

has worked out well and we have had

lots of support. I do not agree with

1:07:181:07:22

vouchers, I do not need an incentive

to do what I feel is best for my

1:07:221:07:26

baby. So I would say the consensus

evolving through this programme that

1:07:261:07:31

the majority of you who are getting

in touch, it is not scientific of

1:07:311:07:35

course, saying that the voucher

scheme is not particularly

1:07:351:07:39

brilliant. So what, let's think

about solutions, better ways of

1:07:391:07:44

getting breast-feeding rates in this

country up because they are among

1:07:441:07:47

the lowest in the world, why is that

and what are the answers? Let's get

1:07:471:07:53

more sport.

England's cricketers gearing up for

1:07:531:07:59

the third test in Perth, 2-0 down in

the Ashes so they cannot afford to

1:07:591:08:03

lose, there has been criticism of

their performances and they have had

1:08:031:08:07

to deal with off field disciplinary

issues, bar room incidents, former

1:08:071:08:12

captain Michael Vaughan says they

have been behaving like students and

1:08:121:08:17

that senior players need to step up

and be role models. Alastair Cook

1:08:171:08:20

was asked for his take.

I don't

think we are getting painted fairly

1:08:201:08:26

in the media because on our culture

clearly there has been a couple of

1:08:261:08:32

things, it sounds silly, but the

media have brought it up. But the

1:08:321:08:37

world has changed after what

happened in September and it's down

1:08:371:08:40

to us to adjust that quickly and we

cannot afford any mistakes, because

1:08:401:08:48

the ECB and the sponsors, we want to

have kids play cricket.

I spoke to

1:08:481:08:55

another former England captain,

David Gower, earlier this morning,

1:08:551:08:59

he was heavily fined along with his

team mates for antics with a biplane

1:08:591:09:07

in the 1991 Ashes tour.

In my era

players lead of a lot of steam on

1:09:071:09:15

tour, three or four months away on

tour, you're not expected to be a

1:09:151:09:18

monk and everyone expect you to have

a drink and there were breaches of

1:09:181:09:22

discipline way back. Some were

allowed to pass, some were dealt

1:09:221:09:25

with severely. People just got on

with life. The key thing as ever in

1:09:251:09:32

these situations is if you are

producing the right results on the

1:09:321:09:36

pitch then people are forgiving we

had, I remember one, years and years

1:09:361:09:42

ago in Manchester a one-day

international against New Zealand

1:09:421:09:45

and we were found in a wine bar at

one end, leaving at 1am, they had

1:09:451:09:50

headlines ready to go in the papers

the next day slamming us for being

1:09:501:09:54

out of order. But we won the game

saw the headline was Hic-Hic-Hooray!

1:09:541:09:58

That's all the sports are now.

1:09:581:10:04

This morning: the former wife

of serial killer Levi Bellfield

1:10:041:10:10

tells this programme she lives

with the guilt that she didn't

1:10:101:10:12

report him to the police sooner.

1:10:121:10:16

Jo Collings says he regularly used

to beat and rape her and she now

1:10:161:10:21

believes she was "target practice"

to prepare himself for the murders

1:10:211:10:25

of 13-year-old Milly Dowler,

19-year-old Marsha McDonnell

1:10:251:10:29

and 22-year-old Amelie Delagrange.

1:10:291:10:32

He's currently serving a life

sentence for their murders -

1:10:321:10:37

which took place between 2002

and 2004, and an attempted

1:10:371:10:39

murder of another woman.

1:10:391:10:44

He's recently alleged to have

confessed in prison that he had also

1:10:441:10:50

killed Lin and Megan Russell

and left Josie Russell

1:10:501:10:52

for dead in 1996 -

when he was living with Jo Collings.

1:10:521:10:57

She's here now.

1:10:571:11:02

Good morning, thank you for talking

to us. What did you think first of

1:11:021:11:06

all when you heard this apparent

confession regarding the Russell

1:11:061:11:13

murders?

The first thing which goes

through your mind is the date and

1:11:131:11:17

it's an unforgettable dates because

it's my birthday, the 9th of July,

1:11:171:11:21

the date they were killed.

And so

you say he couldn't?

No, it was the

1:11:211:11:29

first year my daughter was born and

you always remember the first year

1:11:291:11:32

of your baby 's life and it was the

first real, my daughter was only

1:11:321:11:40

five months old and it was my

birthday so, you know...

He has

1:11:401:11:47

since denied ever making a

confession. Michael Stone was

1:11:471:11:54

convicted of the killing of Lin

Russell and Megan Russell and his

1:11:541:11:57

lawyers say you could be confused

about the timing.

There is no way I

1:11:571:12:01

am confused.

And he was with you the

whole day?

From when we woke up in

1:12:011:12:09

the morning until we went to bed, I

can tell you everything we did and

1:12:091:12:13

where we went and there is no way he

left my side for any amount of time.

1:12:131:12:19

Even though they say they have a

witness who saw him in the area?

1:12:191:12:25

Apparently they have a witness.

You

spent three years with Levi

1:12:251:12:32

Bellfield, give us an insight into

what your life was like?

It was

1:12:321:12:37

torture most of the time. When he

was being nice you could not have

1:12:371:12:42

asked for a nicer person. He was a

real gentleman, spoiled rotten, took

1:12:421:12:46

you everywhere. Then he would just

flip and the beatings, or the abuse,

1:12:461:12:55

treated you worse than you would

treat an animal.

Would be a trigger?

1:12:551:13:01

Sometimes. You had done something

wrong, cooked something wrong, and

1:13:011:13:07

taught him the wrong way or

questioned him about something, but

1:13:071:13:11

sometimes it wasn't anything.

And

what sort of physical abuse did you

1:13:111:13:17

endure?

You would get punched and

kicked, strangled, burned with

1:13:171:13:22

cigarettes. Strangling was quite a

good one of his. If you punch due,

1:13:221:13:31

he would keep punching you in the

one spot and keep punching you in

1:13:311:13:35

that spot because he knew how much

it would hurt.

Where there are

1:13:351:13:40

moments where you thought you might

end up killing you?

There were a

1:13:401:13:44

couple. But because I fought back,

it was a bit of a competition for

1:13:441:13:52

him.

You say he also sexually abused

you and you are within your right to

1:13:521:14:01

anonymity to talk to us about that

for which we are very grateful, can

1:14:011:14:05

you give us insight into what he

would do.

The rapes became quite

1:14:051:14:13

common, we were his property and we

belonged to him, whatever he wanted

1:14:131:14:16

he did. You did not say no to him

and you did not argue our question,

1:14:161:14:21

you became a shell and he just

chipped away and broke you.

Do you

1:14:211:14:29

know how many times he raped you?

I

could not tell you, hundreds, over

1:14:291:14:34

the years.

Did you consider

reporting him to the police?

I

1:14:341:14:42

considered reporting him, I wanted

him to leave because he lived with

1:14:421:14:45

me and my mum and my mum 's house

but he did not go, he would not go.

1:14:451:14:49

Do you know why you did not go to

the police after considering it?

You

1:14:491:14:57

are too frightened. The one time I

did call the police the abuse I got,

1:14:571:15:01

it was full.

From Levi Bellfield?

Yes, I think I was the only one to

1:15:011:15:10

ever get an injunction served on him

and within half an hour he had

1:15:101:15:13

ripped it up, written on the

envelope and posted it back to my

1:15:131:15:17

letterbox. Even an injunction did

not stop him.

1:15:171:15:21

You had separated from him when

Milly Dowler, but you say around

1:15:261:15:31

that time he turned up on your

doorstep?

He was really upset

1:15:311:15:35

because he used to come to the pub

that I worked in. He always drove

1:15:351:15:41

past and always rang me, he was

always about and I know it sounds

1:15:411:15:46

really weird, but when he actually

got arrested, you almost feel a bit

1:15:461:15:52

scared because you know he's like a

safety blanket so you always knew he

1:15:521:15:56

was going to be about even though

you didn't want him about and then

1:15:561:16:00

suddenly when he is not about, you

kind of feel a bit vulnerable and

1:16:001:16:04

because for so many years you have

been controlled and even when we

1:16:041:16:07

weren't to go, he was always still

there controlling, everything,

1:16:071:16:13

driving past and phoning, you almost

feel vulnerable because you think he

1:16:131:16:16

is not there now.

Because the abuse

that he had subjected you had become

1:16:161:16:22

normalised in a way?

It was normal

life. Every day, it was like normal

1:16:221:16:26

life. I always say when people, soy

can't get away, why didn't you get

1:16:261:16:31

away? Until you're, again, until

you're in that situation, you can't

1:16:311:16:36

actually physically and mentally get

away. But then when that switch is

1:16:361:16:42

triggered that you can, you think if

I can get away from him, anybody can

1:16:421:16:46

get away from anybody.

How did you

manage to leave him in the end?

I

1:16:461:16:51

was pregnant with my son and he had

come round asking for a fan because

1:16:511:16:55

my daughter had been unwell and the

hospital said she could come home as

1:16:551:16:59

long as I had a fan, that I kept her

cool. OK, that's fine. He came round

1:16:591:17:06

demanding the fan and I was like

well, no. I had kept him up-to-date

1:17:061:17:11

because he kept ringing how is she?

Bla-bla-bla. He came round asking

1:17:111:17:16

for it and because I wouldn't give

it to him, he went mad and we had a

1:17:161:17:20

fight on the doorstep and I was

pregnant with his son. That was what

1:17:201:17:25

triggered the switch and that was

the night I stopped being scared of

1:17:251:17:27

him.

Really? Because you were

thinking about...

I was so angry. I

1:17:271:17:35

wasn't scared any more. I was so

angry, he is with the new

1:17:351:17:38

girlfriend. He is still in my life

every day, still controlling, go and

1:17:381:17:43

buy your own fan, don't take it off

my daughter. That was it. That's

1:17:431:17:48

what triggered it.

What do you think about when you

1:17:481:17:52

reflect on whether you could have

contacted the police earlier and

1:17:521:17:55

what difference that may have made?

People say, I am as guilty as him. I

1:17:551:18:01

have had all the trolls.

Really?

I

am scum. I am as bad as he is. I

1:18:011:18:05

should have said something, but

there is never enough evidence or

1:18:051:18:10

proof, even a year after he was

arrested, people were only coming

1:18:101:18:14

forward because they were too scared

because in the papers, it said, you

1:18:141:18:18

know, had been bailed for this and

that and all the rest of it, but

1:18:181:18:21

actually, he was still inside, but

because the papers couldn't say that

1:18:211:18:25

he was still being held, people only

read, he has been bailed so they all

1:18:251:18:31

thought he was still out. It took a

good year and probably up to 18

1:18:311:18:36

months before quite a few people

came forward because they were too

1:18:361:18:40

scared of him.

Do you suspect he may

have attacked other women that we

1:18:401:18:46

perhaps don't know about?

Without a

shadow of a doubt.

Why are you so

1:18:461:18:50

sure?

Because it's him. We went to

Turkey in the August of 1996. We

1:18:501:18:55

were supposed to be there two weeks.

He said on, I think it was a voice

1:18:551:19:01

recording from his prison cell, that

he came home the next day because he

1:19:011:19:04

was too hot. We were there four or

five days and we had a row one

1:19:041:19:08

afternoon. He locked me in the

bedroom. Went off out. Came back

1:19:081:19:14

quite late and in a right state and

packed the cases and we flew home

1:19:141:19:17

the next day. Wouldn't say why or

anything, but so, you know, he

1:19:171:19:22

probably did something out there

because you wouldn't, almost like a

1:19:221:19:26

panic mode. Had to pack everything.

Don't ask any questions, flew home.

1:19:261:19:33

Thank you very much for talking to

us this morning.

1:19:331:19:41

We have been reporting this morning

that four people are being

1:19:411:19:44

questioned been suspicion of murder

after three children died in a house

1:19:441:19:48

fire in Salford in the early hours

of yesterday morning. Well, we can

1:19:481:19:51

tell you that the victims have been

named locally today as 14Demi

1:19:511:20:04

Pearson, her sister, Lacie, and her

brother Brandon, their mother is in

1:20:041:20:12

a serious condition, as well as a

fourth sibling, three-year-old Leah

1:20:121:20:18

who is critical.

1:20:181:20:24

The leader of the Liberal Democrats

tells this programme he doesn't

1:20:241:20:26

think that Donald Trump should be

allowed to visit the UK next year.

1:20:261:20:32

The law on organ donations

in England could be changed so that

1:20:321:20:35

we'd have to opt out of choosing

to donate organs after death

1:20:351:20:38

rather than opting in.

1:20:381:20:39

It's called "presumed consent".

1:20:391:20:41

Every day three people die

in England needing a new organ.

1:20:411:20:44

The Government hopes changing

the rules would help save the lives

1:20:441:20:47

of the 6,500 people currently

waiting for a transplant.

1:20:471:20:49

450 people died waiting

for a transplant last year.

1:20:491:20:54

Wales has already adopted

the system of presumed

1:20:541:20:58

consent and Scotland

is about to introduce

1:20:581:21:00

something similar.

1:21:001:21:02

Let's take a look now at the very

real impact that the decision

1:21:021:21:05

to donate an organ can make.

1:21:051:21:11

Nigel Burton lost his son Martin

who was 16, back in 2003.

1:21:111:21:17

Martin died after having

a sudden brain haemorrhage.

1:21:171:21:20

Nigel and his wife Sue made

the decision to donate

1:21:201:21:22

Martin's organs.

1:21:221:21:24

Andrew Seery needed a liver

transplant after a genetic

1:21:241:21:26

condition had seen his

liver slowly deteriorate.

1:21:261:21:32

He was a father of two,

a 34-year-old hairdresser

1:21:321:21:35

who was close to death,

six stone four, in a wheelchair

1:21:351:21:38

and being fed on a nasal drip.

1:21:381:21:42

Now 14 years later, he is here today

after being given Martin's liver.

1:21:421:21:49

Gentlemen, thank you very much for

coming on the programme. Let me ask

1:21:491:21:53

you both first of all, what do you

think of the idea of presumed

1:21:531:21:56

consent?

It's a system that's likely

to happen. It was always going to

1:21:561:22:03

happen, but unfortunately presumed

consent is normally one of a package

1:22:031:22:06

of things you have to do if you want

to change consent rates in the

1:22:061:22:11

country.

Soen its own, it's not

enough?

On its own, it is not

1:22:111:22:15

enough.

What would you say Martin?

I

am not as educated in the area as

1:22:151:22:22

Nigel, but from a patient's point of

view, anything that improves the

1:22:221:22:25

chances of you receiving an organ

has got to be a good thing, but I am

1:22:251:22:31

aware of the strains on the NHS, and

stuff and I'm also aware of people's

1:22:311:22:41

attitude in society so, there needs

fob more education before procedures

1:22:411:22:45

are under taken.

Nigel, what is it like to see

1:22:451:22:50

someone like Andrew, who has a part

of your son in him?

The first time

1:22:501:22:56

you meet a recipient of one of your

loved one's organs, it is a surreal

1:22:561:23:02

period. There is somebody who is

walking around with a part of your

1:23:021:23:05

loved one, but it gives you a great

privilege to be able to somebody's

1:23:051:23:14

life and that's something to be very

proud of and I remember my son every

1:23:141:23:19

day for pride for what he did

because otherwise we lost a

1:23:191:23:23

16-year-old boy and no good would

have come out of that tragic loss.

1:23:231:23:26

Now we see something really amazing

happen.

Andrew, tell us what you did

1:23:261:23:32

when you first saw a photograph of

Martin?

When I first saw the

1:23:321:23:39

photograph, I actually cried because

it made it very real. It's not just

1:23:391:23:43

a piece of flesh or whatever. But I

was always aware of the realness

1:23:431:23:49

because my son was only six years

younger than Martin when it

1:23:491:23:54

happened. And so, there was always,

I always had some sort of compassion

1:23:541:24:00

there. It wasn't just a medical

procedure. It wasn't like taking a

1:24:001:24:05

tablet or anything like that. This

was real. When Martin and I always

1:24:051:24:11

wanted to say thank you personally,

writing down is not as much as my

1:24:111:24:16

wife would say, I am very good with

words when I'm writing, I still

1:24:161:24:20

needed to have that human contact,

you know, that we still need as

1:24:201:24:24

humans to say thank you. Yeah, it

was very powerful. It came up and I

1:24:241:24:30

was in the study and yeah, but then

I had been, I'm not crazy, believe

1:24:301:24:38

me, but I had been talking to it, as

a third person for the last few

1:24:381:24:44

years to him rather.

Tell us about the decision you and

1:24:441:24:48

your wife made to donate Martin's

organs?

Mart continue died very

1:24:481:24:54

suddenly. So, we didn't really think

about what was going to happen.

1:24:541:24:59

Typically like most families in the

UK, we were working very hard, two

1:24:591:25:05

kids, full of life, you don't expect

as a parent to lose your children so

1:25:051:25:10

it's not a conversation you really

think you need to have. So we hadn't

1:25:101:25:14

really discussed it with our

children so when that happened, we

1:25:141:25:18

had to go with our feelings of what

we felt and what we thought Martin

1:25:181:25:22

would want. Martin was a very

loving, caring child, who always

1:25:221:25:27

helped people, always wanted to

help, wanted to be a nurse. So we

1:25:271:25:31

felt, if he wanted to help people in

his life, surely he would wish to

1:25:311:25:34

help people when he died. So for us,

it was a very simple decision.

1:25:341:25:39

I mean you will know that if we move

to this scenario of presumed consent

1:25:391:25:45

in England, families won't be able

to refuse organ donation which does

1:25:451:25:49

happen. Some refuse...

They will be

able to refuse. It's a soft opt-out.

1:25:491:25:54

So they will be given the option

whether they wish to donate. Where

1:25:541:25:58

the Government seems to hope will

happen that if families are on the

1:25:581:26:03

Organ Donor Register, there is an

80% consent rate. If they are on the

1:26:031:26:07

register, there is only a 40%, they

are hoping with an opt-out system

1:26:071:26:11

they will say to somebody, this

person hasn't opted out, so

1:26:111:26:14

therefore, they must have opted in

to try and push them to that 80%. It

1:26:141:26:18

doesn't work quite that way because

they haven't truly opted in so there

1:26:181:26:21

is still that doubt in the family's

mind that grief kicks in, that

1:26:211:26:27

indecision of interest truly that

loved one wishes, they will still

1:26:271:26:32

refuse.

That is why you say it is

not enough on its own. Thank you

1:26:321:26:37

very much. Are you well?

I'm very

well. I'm got a wonderful life. Two

1:26:371:26:42

beautiful children. Wonderful life.

I work with amazing people. Yeah,

1:26:421:26:47

life is very good.

Good.

Thanks to

this gentleman and his wife and his

1:26:471:26:52

son.

? Thank you very much for coming on

1:26:521:26:55

the programme, Andrew. Thank you

very much, Nigel, thank you.

1:26:551:27:00

The US ambassador to Britain said

he expects Donald Trump to visit

1:27:001:27:04

the UK in the new year

despite his recent Twitter row

1:27:041:27:06

with Theresa May after he shared

videos posted by the far-right group

1:27:061:27:09

Britain First.

1:27:091:27:12

If and when the US

President comes to the UK -

1:27:121:27:18

it won't be a state visit,

but he will be hosted by the Queen

1:27:181:27:21

at Buckingham Palace

or Windsor Castle.

1:27:211:27:22

Joining me now is the leader of the

Liberal Democrats, Sir Vince Cable.

1:27:221:27:27

He said one of Theresa May's biggest

political mistakes was to invite

1:27:271:27:31

Donald Trump here on a state visit

in the early days of his presidency.

1:27:311:27:35

Hello to you, Sir Vince Cable?

Good

morning.

What do you think about him

1:27:351:27:39

popping if for a cup of tea?

Well,

it's terribly embarrassing for the

1:27:391:27:43

Government and I think Theresa May

realised she made a big mistake when

1:27:431:27:47

she invited him. I think they

assumed he would be moderated in the

1:27:471:27:55

quay the republican establishment

was intending to do, but he has been

1:27:551:27:58

his own man and endorsed the white

sue prem assist movement last summer

1:27:581:28:05

in a damaging and inflammatory way

and he endorsed in neo-Nazi group in

1:28:051:28:09

the UK and humiliated Theresa May,

you know, she will be desperately

1:28:091:28:13

hoping this whole problem could be

kicked in the long grass, but if the

1:28:131:28:17

ambassador is right, he intends to

take up the invite and this will be

1:28:171:28:22

extraordinarily awkward for the

British Government because it will

1:28:221:28:25

be massively opposed in Britain.

Do

you think he should be able to pop

1:28:251:28:28

in for a cup of tea?

No, I don't

think. I think there is a difference

1:28:281:28:32

between doing business with the

United States which you can do in

1:28:321:28:37

all kinds of ways which we do with

President Putin in rush Russia and

1:28:371:28:42

the symbolism which is attached to

honouring a head of state through a

1:28:421:28:46

meeting with the Queen and the other

tasks that go with it. If he pops in

1:28:461:28:50

to see his golf course in Scotland,

to check up on the business, that's

1:28:501:28:54

a different proposition, but coming

here, officially, with all the

1:28:541:29:02

involvement of royalty, that should

be off limits and the British

1:29:021:29:07

Government should say no.

Right,

just to be absolutely clear. Are you

1:29:071:29:11

saying he shouldn't be allowed to

come in the New Year?

Well, on the

1:29:111:29:14

basis that it has been described, he

certainly should not be welcomed

1:29:141:29:19

here, no, absolutely not.

You will

have heard the Home Secretary, Amber

1:29:191:29:24

Rudd saying, urging yourself and her

colleagues, her Conservative

1:29:241:29:27

colleagues, to look at the bigger

picture, that the relationship with

1:29:271:29:31

the US is vital for security and

co-operation on terrorism?

Well, of

1:29:311:29:36

course, we have to have good

business-like relationship with all

1:29:361:29:40

the major powers in this world. We

have to have a business-like

1:29:401:29:44

relationship with China, for similar

reasons. They are roughly comparable

1:29:441:29:47

in economic size to the United

States, they, you know, they are

1:29:471:29:52

part of key organisations, we've got

to deal with their president and

1:29:521:29:57

their government and similarly,

President Putin, but there are

1:29:571:29:59

military issues there as well, so we

have to have a relationship. It's

1:29:591:30:04

quite a different matter to reach

out the hand and pretend that the

1:30:041:30:11

so-called special relationship that

we once had the with United States

1:30:111:30:15

is a live force when he is openly

aabusing our Prime Minister and

1:30:151:30:22

challenging the basic values on

which our country rests. That's a

1:30:221:30:25

different thing altogether.

Wouldn't

it be good for Theresa May to sit

1:30:251:30:30

him down in Number Ten and tell him

that what he did was wrong?

1:30:301:30:37

I think that is what she tried to do

in Washington and seriously

1:30:371:30:41

misjudged the man. The assumption

all along has been that he somehow

1:30:411:30:45

or other could have been talked out

of his extreme behaviour and

1:30:451:30:48

inflammatory actions and speeches

but he is very much his own man and

1:30:481:30:53

he is what he says he is. Embracing

extreme racist movements, neo-Nazi

1:30:531:31:01

groups in the UK, is absolutely

off-limits and the British

1:31:011:31:06

government should put its foot down

and say look, he's not welcome.

In

1:31:061:31:10

order to get a trade deal with the

US post Brexit we need stores

1:31:101:31:15

personal relations between the

American president the British Prime

1:31:151:31:19

Minister.

This is what it was about

in the first instance but this idea

1:31:191:31:23

of a trade deal is a fantasy anyway.

Under the present arrangements which

1:31:231:31:28

Theresa May negotiated last week and

nothing can happen until the end of

1:31:281:31:33

what will probably be quite a long

transition, so we are talking years

1:31:331:31:38

and years away. By then there will

have probably been a change in the

1:31:381:31:42

American Congress saw this

legislation be difficult to pass

1:31:421:31:46

anyway. It's far from clear a

special trade deal would be in our

1:31:461:31:50

interests, there are things the

Americans are pushing for in terms

1:31:501:31:53

of health and animal standards,

dispute settlement procedure is,

1:31:531:31:59

special treatment for their own

companies, they could be very

1:31:591:32:03

damaging to us so rushing into a

deal with the United States has no

1:32:031:32:09

urgency and is perhaps not even in

our interests.

Thank you for talking

1:32:091:32:13

to us, Sir Vince Cable, leader of

the Liberal Democrats who does not

1:32:131:32:18

want Donald Trump to come here in

the New Year and says the British

1:32:181:32:21

government should not host him

either. Tom has texted us to say, on

1:32:211:32:27

a different subject, I worked as a

male sex worker for four years when

1:32:271:32:32

I was at university. I used to meet

men in public toilets. Rape and

1:32:321:32:37

violence were commonplace but I felt

reporting it would be humiliating

1:32:371:32:41

and a waste of time. In the next few

minutes we will hear more from male

1:32:411:32:45

sex workers on why they would not

report an assault to the police.

1:32:451:32:51

We'll speak to Her Majesty's

Inspectorate of Constabulary

1:32:511:32:53

about why they are asking police

officers not to stop

1:32:531:32:55

people for drugs simply

because they smell cannabis.

1:32:551:33:02

Time for the latest

news, here's Ben.

1:33:041:33:07

Inflation has increased

to its highest level

1:33:071:33:09

in nearly six years.

1:33:091:33:11

The rate of the Consumer Prices

Index rose to 3.1 % last month.

1:33:111:33:16

It means the squeeze on what

households can afford, continues.

1:33:161:33:19

The Office for National Statistics

said that airfares and computer

1:33:191:33:22

games contributed to the increase.

1:33:221:33:28

The most recent data shows that

average weekly wages

1:33:281:33:30

are growing at just over 2%.

1:33:301:33:32

In November, the Bank of England

raised the interest rate

1:33:321:33:34

for the first time in more

than a decade from a

1:33:341:33:38

quarter-a-percent to half-a-percent.

1:33:381:33:41

Four people are being questioned

on suspicion of murder,

1:33:411:33:43

after three children died in a house

fire in Salford, early

1:33:431:33:46

yesterday morning.

1:33:461:33:51

The victims have been named locally

as 14-year-old Demi Pearson,

1:33:511:33:53

who died at the scene.

1:33:531:33:58

Her 7-year-old sister Lacie and

8-year-old brother Brandon

1:33:581:34:00

died later in hospital.

1:34:001:34:01

Their mother Michelle Pearson

is in a serious condition along

1:34:011:34:03

with a fourth sibling,

three-year-old Lia who is critical.

1:34:031:34:06

Temperatures of minus 13 celsius

have been recorded in Shropshire

1:34:061:34:09

on the coldest night

of the year so far.

1:34:091:34:12

The Met Office extended yellow

warnings for snow and ice until late

1:34:121:34:15

this morning and the AA has warned

that driving could be "hazardous".

1:34:151:34:18

Hundreds of schools will stay closed

for a second successive day.

1:34:181:34:24

The industry regulator for gambling

is warning that Children as young

1:34:241:34:28

as 11 are using so-called skin

betting websites, which let players

1:34:281:34:31

gamble with virtual items

as if they are currency.

1:34:311:34:35

The items are often modified guns

or knives within a video game,

1:34:351:34:38

which is what's known as a 'skin'.

1:34:381:34:41

The items can then be sold

and turned back in to real money.

1:34:411:34:44

It's part of a wider report

for The Gambling Commission

1:34:441:34:47

which says that around 370,000 11

to 16-year-olds have

1:34:471:34:49

spent their own money

on gambling in the past week.

1:34:491:34:57

A new study suggests that

offering shopping vouchers

1:34:571:34:59

to new mothers can encourage them

to breastfeed their babies.

1:34:591:35:03

About 10,000 new mothers

in Yorkshire, Derbyshire

1:35:031:35:07

and Nottinghamshire were offered up

to £200 in vouchers as an incentive.

1:35:071:35:12

Breastfeeding rates

increased in these areas,

1:35:121:35:13

which typically have low uptake.

1:35:131:35:21

IPhone and health visitors

unsupportive, they are more

1:35:241:35:27

concerned about statistics and baby

is gaining weight rather than

1:35:271:35:30

supporting mothers. I found this

with my second child who refuse to

1:35:301:35:35

feed from one side. I later found

out it was because I had breast

1:35:351:35:39

cancer. Another text says I had

premature twins and was made to feel

1:35:391:35:44

a failure even when being made to

try to feed such underweight babies

1:35:441:35:50

was dangerous. Bertrand bottle

feeding as bad or selfish can be

1:35:501:36:01

truly dangerous.

1:36:011:36:03

The sports headlines this morning,

Alastair Cook says England's field

1:36:051:36:09

disciplinary issues have been

overblown by the media but does

1:36:091:36:12

accept they cannot afford to make

any more mistakes. England are in

1:36:121:36:16

Perth at the moment, 2-0 down ahead

of the third test which start on

1:36:161:36:21

Thursday. Conflicting stories of the

disagreement outside the Old

1:36:211:36:28

Trafford dressing rooms on Sunday,

the FA are still waiting to hear

1:36:281:36:33

from both clubs on their

observations before deciding whether

1:36:331:36:36

or not to take any action. Stoke

City players confronted by their own

1:36:361:36:40

bands as they travel home by train

from the 5-1 defeat at home to

1:36:401:36:45

Spurs, it might be the reality check

his players need according to Mark

1:36:451:36:49

Hughes. Clermont Auvergne thrashed

Saracen 46-14, the match had been

1:36:491:36:56

put back a day because of snow.

That's all your sport, I will be

1:36:561:37:03

back on BBC News after 11am.

1:37:031:37:06

This morning we've been hearing

from male sex workers.

1:37:061:37:08

Their voices are often

unheard in any discussion

1:37:081:37:10

about decriminalisation

of prostitution or about

1:37:101:37:11

safety of sex workers.

1:37:111:37:14

Research obtained by this programme

suggests that 12% of male sex

1:37:141:37:17

workers have been sexually assaulted

in the last five years,

1:37:171:37:20

but most are unlikely

to report it to the police.

1:37:201:37:25

Earlier we brought you a film

from our reporter Michael Cowan

1:37:251:37:27

who gained rare access to four

male sex workers.

1:37:271:37:30

Here's a short extract.

1:37:301:37:33

It contains upsetting testimony

and interviews that may not be

1:37:331:37:36

suitable for children.

1:37:361:37:41

Around 5% of male sex workers

operate on the streets

1:37:411:37:45

and Manchester has the most male

street sex workers in the country.

1:37:451:37:50

Hayley Speed works for one of only

a handful of organisations across

1:37:501:37:53

the UK that supports these men.

1:37:531:37:56

People tell you these

things have happened

1:37:561:37:59

without seeing it that seriously.

1:37:591:38:01

"I got raped the other night."

1:38:011:38:02

Like they got wet from it raining,

the normalisation of quite

1:38:021:38:05

extreme behaviours.

1:38:051:38:08

"Did you tell the police?"

1:38:081:38:09

"No, it's par for the course."

1:38:091:38:15

Research seen exclusively by this

programme found over 12% of male sex

1:38:151:38:18

workers they spoke to have been

sexually assaulted in

1:38:181:38:21

the last five years.

1:38:211:38:24

The same study found 70% of male

respondents were unlikely to report

1:38:241:38:27

crimes to the police.

1:38:271:38:30

Tyler fled his home town

for Manchester when his family

1:38:301:38:32

disowned him for being gay.

1:38:321:38:35

He became homeless.

1:38:351:38:37

And within a week, he had

turned to sex work.

1:38:371:38:41

You were raped by a client?

1:38:411:38:44

So, I got a job, I got called to go

to a job in a hotel.

1:38:441:38:48

I'd been there for an hour

or two, having a drink.

1:38:481:38:50

When I went, there was one person.

1:38:501:38:54

I woke up, no clothes on,

on the bed, sprawled out with, like,

1:38:541:39:01

four men naked around me.

1:39:011:39:05

And they had drugged you?

1:39:051:39:07

They spiked my drink.

1:39:071:39:11

I passed out within 20 minutes.

1:39:111:39:14

Gone for hours.

1:39:141:39:17

So when you woke up and there

are four men around you...

1:39:171:39:20

Masturbating and everything, yeah.

1:39:201:39:24

What was going through your head?

1:39:241:39:28

What to do.

1:39:281:39:29

Do I get up and leave?

1:39:291:39:33

Or if I try to leave,

what will they do?

1:39:331:39:37

I was just so scared, really.

1:39:371:39:41

I was trying to figure out,

were they here before I passed out?

1:39:411:39:47

I just had to get out

of there, had to leave.

1:39:471:39:50

They didn't care.

1:39:501:39:51

They really didn't care.

1:39:511:39:55

They just literally

let me leave, normally.

1:39:551:39:58

When something like that happens

and you've been doing sex work,

1:39:581:40:03

some sex workers are reticent

or afraid to go to the police.

1:40:031:40:09

We went there,

you know, not knowing.

1:40:091:40:12

You would never go there if you knew

what was going to happen.

1:40:121:40:15

You are afraid that people

are going to be, like,

1:40:151:40:17

"You're a sex worker,

it's your own fault."

1:40:171:40:20

I was just afraid.

1:40:201:40:24

Sorry.

1:40:241:40:27

Do you know what really gets me?

1:40:271:40:30

It's the fact that because I'm

a guy, they think it's not as bad

1:40:301:40:35

as a woman being raped.

1:40:351:40:36

It's exactly the same.

1:40:361:40:40

Let's talk now to Del Campbell

from the charity National Ugly Mugs

1:40:401:40:43

which works with sex workers

across the UK.

1:40:431:40:46

James Johnson who used

to be a sex worker.

1:40:461:40:50

From Manchester we're joined

by Hayley Speed from the Men's Room,

1:40:501:40:53

one of the only UK charities that

supports male workers.

1:40:531:41:01

Thank you all of you for coming on

the programme. One of the biggest

1:41:011:41:05

obstacles for men getting, either

going to the police if they have

1:41:051:41:08

been the victim of assault or

getting support generally is the

1:41:081:41:12

stigma around being a male sex

worker, tell us about it.

It is

1:41:121:41:18

interesting, of the workers we have

signed up, the men are least likely

1:41:181:41:22

to want to reported to the police.

The stigma is around the fact that

1:41:221:41:27

it's very much seen, the spotlight

is on females in the industry. There

1:41:271:41:32

might be drugs involved. They might

be migrant workers. The whole issue

1:41:321:41:38

around male sexual violence is

stigmatised in itself so the

1:41:381:41:42

combination of, and also male sex

workers not knowing their own

1:41:421:41:45

rights, not knowing the laws in this

country around sex work. There are

1:41:451:41:51

class a drugs involved in which case

it might become the focus of the

1:41:511:41:57

investigation.

So they end up

questioned rather than being

1:41:571:42:02

supported as a victim.

Yes and they

also might get an enquiry over if

1:42:021:42:07

they have been in a brothel.

You are

a former sex worker James, if you

1:42:071:42:13

had been assaulted in your time

would you have reported it?

No. I

1:42:131:42:19

certainly would not. I worked over

two periods of time in sex work,

1:42:191:42:26

once in a brothel and as an escort.

There were occasions within that,

1:42:261:42:33

within the brothel that the balance

of power shifted out of my hands

1:42:331:42:39

into that of the client. I would not

the finals as salt -- I would not

1:42:391:42:45

define that as assault but there

were power struggles where it was

1:42:451:42:48

out of my hands and there was no

records for me to go somewhere to

1:42:481:42:52

talk about that because running a

brothel in and of itself was

1:42:521:42:57

illegal. Rights were already skewed,

compromised.

Therefore if you had

1:42:571:43:05

been assaulted you would not have

gone to the police because you would

1:43:051:43:09

have had to potentially reveal you

are working in a brothel and you

1:43:091:43:12

could have been questioned about

committing an offence. As well as

1:43:121:43:16

everyone else working there as well

presumably. It is an issue, we can

1:43:161:43:22

see it is difficult for male sex

workers to access help or anything.

1:43:221:43:26

How do you change that?

I think it's

about education, always of raising

1:43:261:43:35

awareness. People involved in

survival, it's about the more

1:43:351:43:41

broader services having the

awareness, housing and health,

1:43:411:43:44

people do not, people do not get

asked about it. I suppose it's about

1:43:441:43:54

special services needing to be there

to respond to that need. Thinking

1:43:541:44:01

about, closures across the country

with smaller charities like ours

1:44:011:44:05

losing funding and having to go. We

are missing resources.

Be really

1:44:051:44:12

clear, how different is the world of

male sex work to female sex work.

1:44:121:44:17

The routes into it are often very

different. Some of the motivations

1:44:171:44:22

are very different. The stereotype

with street sex work tends to be

1:44:221:44:29

around alcohol dependency with women

and we don't see that with males,

1:44:291:44:31

it's about getting kicked out and

homelessness as a result of their

1:44:311:44:37

sexuality, the lack of housing, then

isolation, a lack of support

1:44:371:44:42

networks. If you lose to a city and

you don't have the support network.

1:44:421:44:50

-- if you move to a city.

How do you

potentially inform male sex workers

1:44:501:44:57

about risky clients?

They can sign

up to our service and once they have

1:44:571:45:04

done they can get alerts on their

mobile phones or e-mails which

1:45:041:45:09

detail risky clients, gives them

brief descriptions, half the mobile

1:45:091:45:13

number or e-mail and they can make a

more informed choice about whether

1:45:131:45:17

they see that person if the

description matches a client. What

1:45:171:45:21

they can then do is we encourage

those male sex workers to come

1:45:211:45:25

forward who have got details of

someone to work with us and we can

1:45:251:45:32

hopefully find a contact in the

police who is understanding and

1:45:321:45:35

non-judgemental about the work they

do.

What do you think of that idea

1:45:351:45:39

James?

1:45:391:45:40

It's a brilliant project.

But?

There

is a struggle between because of

1:45:451:45:50

situation we find ourselves in where

there is this current should we

1:45:501:45:56

decriminalise sex work or is it

going to be legalised and what does

1:45:561:45:59

that look like? And because at the

moment there isn't really a space at

1:45:591:46:03

the table where sex workers have

been invited to be involved in what

1:46:031:46:08

that might look like, I think that

for a lot of people it will still

1:46:081:46:13

remain something that they are

cautious about approaching but where

1:46:131:46:17

we offer to a seat at the table for

sex workers to say what is it that

1:46:171:46:21

you need to be able to access better

health care and education, if you

1:46:211:46:27

want to leave sex work. I haven't

sex worked for a long time and I

1:46:271:46:32

have a wonderfully joyful life, but

sex work certainly drove me towards

1:46:321:46:36

the work that I do now which is

towards the caring for other people.

1:46:361:46:41

So...

How did you leave then?

I made

a chis.

Right.

There is a narrative

1:46:411:46:48

around sex work which is something

we struggle about. There is one

1:46:481:46:52

narrative which is the narrative of

victimhood.

Or exploitation?

Or

1:46:521:46:56

exploitation. There is another

narrative which is around sex

1:46:561:47:00

positivity and there is not much of

a discussion around the knewsons

1:47:001:47:03

that exists between the two and I

was somebody that was able to choose

1:47:031:47:07

to enter into sex work. Twice and

leave without it causing me

1:47:071:47:15

significant harm or damage. That is

not the truth of everybody.

Of

1:47:151:47:19

course.

But it is of some people as

well. So how do we invite all of

1:47:191:47:27

those voices to participate?

It is a

good conversation for another day.

1:47:271:47:31

Thank you very much all of you, I

really appreciate your time, thank

1:47:311:47:34

you very much.

1:47:341:47:38

Police are less likely to find

illegal substances on black

1:47:391:47:42

people than white people,

despite the fact that if you're

1:47:421:47:44

black you're more than eight times

more likely to be stopped

1:47:441:47:47

and searched than if you're white.

1:47:471:47:49

That's according to analysis

by Her Majesty's Inspectorate

1:47:491:47:52

of Constabulary who describe

the disparity as "troubling".

1:47:521:47:54

They're asking police officers not

to stop people in the street

1:47:541:48:00

and search them for drugs simply

because they smell cannabis.

1:48:001:48:06

Last month this programme reported

on Stop and Search and spoke to one

1:48:061:48:10

former special constable who said

"unconscious bias is a massive issue

1:48:101:48:12

within the Metropolitan Police".

1:48:121:48:18

I have seen many police officers

stop people that what I consider

1:48:181:48:22

would be based on their racial

prejudices because of the colour

1:48:221:48:25

of their skin and even

when we were training to be police

1:48:251:48:29

officers I distinctly remember

that we had one particular trainer

1:48:291:48:31

who was very open in his views.

1:48:311:48:33

His words were, "If we rock up

to a core when there is a group

1:48:331:48:37

of eight or nine young black guys

wearing hoodies, they're

1:48:371:48:39

going to get spun.

1:48:391:48:40

They're going to get turned over.

1:48:401:48:41

They're going to get stopped",

and my response to that was why?

1:48:411:48:44

In this scenario that

you've sort of concocted,

1:48:441:48:49

there is no other information other

than the fact that they are young

1:48:491:48:52

black men and that they are wearing

hoodies and that's the only factor

1:48:521:48:57

in your decision-making in that

they're going to get searched.

1:48:571:49:06

Mike Cunningham is one

of Her Majesty's Inspectors of

1:49:061:49:08

Constabulary.

1:49:081:49:11

Jonathan Hinds says

he is the victim of police saying

1:49:111:49:13

they could smell cannabis

as a pretext to detain him

1:49:131:49:15

under stop and search.

1:49:151:49:18

Let's talk to Mr Cunningham. Good

morning. Just be clear about what

1:49:181:49:21

you're saying to police officers.

Well, what we're saying and this is

1:49:211:49:26

a broad report about how police and

gender enhance the trust and

1:49:261:49:32

confidence of communities and within

this report, this one troubling

1:49:321:49:36

issue is right in the mid-of it

which is around disparity and stop

1:49:361:49:41

and search that there are, you are

far more likely to be stopped and

1:49:411:49:45

searched if you're black than if

you're white and we want to alert

1:49:451:49:49

the service to that. We want to

share the findings and we have

1:49:491:49:54

required the service in our

recommendation for them to explain

1:49:541:49:57

why this disparity is there and if

they can't explain it, to narrow it.

1:49:571:50:04

What do you mean narrow it?

Lessen

the fact that you are more likely to

1:50:041:50:08

be stopped and searched if you are

black than if you're height.

So to

1:50:081:50:14

stop, stopping and searching black

people just because you might be

1:50:141:50:17

able to smell cannabis or think you

can?

The stop and search on cannabis

1:50:171:50:22

is a niche point within the report

and what we're saying here is that

1:50:221:50:26

the smell of cannabis alone, can be

lawful, it is for an officer to

1:50:261:50:31

justify their use of this intrusive

power and we know that stop and

1:50:311:50:36

search overall has reduced massively

in recent years by 75%.

1:50:361:50:42

Interestingly, it has reduced less

for black people than for white

1:50:421:50:46

people. The overall reduction is 75%

for black people. It is 66%.

Let me

1:50:461:50:53

bring in Jonathan Hinds. You say

police wrongly cited cannabis as a

1:50:531:50:59

reason to stop and search you. Tell

our audience what happened, briefly?

1:50:591:51:03

I was with my cousin and we were

going to a shopping centre and came

1:51:031:51:07

out of the petrol station and a box

van of police asked us to pull over

1:51:071:51:11

and they wanted to speak to us. We

asked what the situation is as we

1:51:111:51:16

have all the right to be in the

vehicle and on the road. They said

1:51:161:51:19

they could smell cannabis interest

their vehicle, in our vehicle, and

1:51:191:51:22

pulled us off for a stop. You know,

it isn't something that we're not

1:51:221:51:29

used to being the demographic that I

am in and the area that I'm in, it

1:51:291:51:33

always happens so we kind of know

how to deal with these things. We

1:51:331:51:37

don't really get angry about it

because we have been in positions

1:51:371:51:43

where police have been overly

physical and they have used the

1:51:431:51:46

power that they have to protect

themselves through this. That's why

1:51:461:51:49

I just feel that understanding and

knowledge will just help us all

1:51:491:51:53

moving forward.

How many times has this happened to

1:51:531:51:56

you, would you say?

From a youth

growing up, this is like a regular

1:51:561:52:00

occurrence.

How old are you now?

I'm

32 now.

How many time do you think

1:52:001:52:06

you have been stopped and searched

and because they have said it is

1:52:061:52:10

because they can smell something?

Three times. The most recent was in

1:52:101:52:15

August. What they used the smell of

cannabis, by speaking to the police

1:52:151:52:20

on the site at the time, they find

they know it's difficult, you can't

1:52:201:52:25

small a gun. Smell a gun. But for

someone it you look at a particular

1:52:251:52:38

demographic, you say, "I smell

cannabis." If you have got a group

1:52:381:52:41

of 20 black boys someone will have

can disin them, it doesn't mean they

1:52:411:52:47

always smell it and it's not right.

What happens is you isolate the

1:52:471:52:50

community. When you need help for

the murders, for the killings, the

1:52:501:52:54

stabbings, these are the people that

you want to come out and help you.

1:52:541:52:57

So when you hear one of the

inspectors saying, urging police not

1:52:571:53:02

to stop people purely because they

can smell cannabis, what do you say

1:53:021:53:05

to him?

I say to him, it would be

easier for the police, most

1:53:051:53:12

definitely easier for the police to

do their work if they didn't have to

1:53:121:53:17

stop people for cannabis. They have

to tackle it and at the end of the

1:53:171:53:21

day, wouldn't it be easier and

better if we got fines from the

1:53:211:53:26

legal cannabis community, we created

one here to help the police tackle

1:53:261:53:31

higher targeted crime. Now, that

would be smart. But we don't do

1:53:311:53:36

those things here. I don't

understand why.

OK.

Instead we

1:53:361:53:41

isolate other demographics and when

issues happen like in 2011, the

1:53:411:53:45

riots, this is all stemming from the

relationship between the police and

1:53:451:53:50

the communities.

Lack of trust.

If

you don't change this, nothing will

1:53:501:53:56

change.

Thank you for coming on the

programme, Jonathan and Mike.

1:53:561:54:05

This morning we have been talking

about calling for new mums to

1:54:051:54:12

receive incentives to breast-feed

their babies. A lot of you have

1:54:121:54:15

criticised the scheme. A lot of you

said that you could target the funds

1:54:151:54:21

in relevant ways like more midwives

or better support. We're going to

1:54:211:54:25

talk to lots of you. So many of you

got in touch. Clare is in Surrey

1:54:251:54:30

along with her seven-month-old son.

Terry is in Wolverhampton with her

1:54:301:54:37

16 week old daughter and on the

phone is Kate in Portsmouth. Kate,

1:54:371:54:44

doesn't want us to use her surname

which is fine. Clare, good idea, bad

1:54:441:54:50

idea?

Bad idea.

Why?

Really bad

because I don't think bottle-feeding

1:54:501:54:56

is the easy option. Some people

can't breast-feed. I chose to

1:54:561:55:01

breast-feed for a month and then I

had to go back on medication for a

1:55:011:55:05

medical condition. I would have

loved to have breast fed for longer

1:55:051:55:10

so to bribe people to carry on

breast-feeding is shocking.

Terry,

1:55:101:55:19

hello, good idea, bad idea?

I don't

think it is a bad idea in case it

1:55:191:55:24

does encourage some people to

continue breast-feeding or start

1:55:241:55:30

feeding, but I think the money could

be used elsewhere to fund support

1:55:301:55:35

for people who are difficulty

breast-feeding.

Kate, what about

1:55:351:55:37

yourself?

Yes, I think it is a good

idea. I found myself that when I

1:55:371:55:45

started it was very hard work and at

times I wanted to give up. But you

1:55:451:55:51

have got to keep with it and keep

trying and obviously like the first

1:55:511:55:55

month I was in tears a lot of the

time, but I had really good support

1:55:551:55:59

and there was a base rate feeding

unit support that I called up and

1:55:591:56:05

they helped me with latching on and

stuff and they have been really good

1:56:051:56:10

ever since even when I have rung

them up, they have offered to come

1:56:101:56:13

out, the support is there in you

want to do it.

It's not always

1:56:131:56:17

there. Even if you do want to do it,

it's clearly different, depending on

1:56:171:56:22

which part of the country you're in

and what the local trust services

1:56:221:56:25

are like.

It depends where you're

from, doesn't it?

Let's say you had

1:56:251:56:31

the offer of shopping vouchers up to

possibly £200 over six months, and

1:56:311:56:36

you found it a struggle after a

month. Would the incentive of the

1:56:361:56:41

shopping vouchers have made you try

harder or were you already trying

1:56:411:56:44

hard?

They would be for me because I

would be someone to think of the

1:56:441:56:49

money and push harder for it.

Right.

For me, it would be. It is not for

1:56:491:56:54

everyone. But yeah, for me, I would

think it is a really good idea.

1:56:541:57:01

And Clare, as you say, even if the

vouchers had been there, you had to

1:57:011:57:04

stop after a month anyway, so you

might have felt a bit...

I don't

1:57:041:57:08

think money should be an incentive

to breast-feed.

1:57:081:57:13

But this trial has shown that

breast-feeding rates have gone up by

1:57:131:57:17

6% and it is a big trial, it is

10,000 women.

1:57:171:57:23

So it is affecting some, it is

encouraging some to do it.

I had no

1:57:231:57:30

support. He was struggling to latch

on. My mum helped me get him latched

1:57:301:57:37

on to enable me to breast-feed for a

month.

Wow. How is your maternity

1:57:371:57:42

leave going, Clare?

Very well. I'm

loving it.

Good. And what about you

1:57:421:57:47

Terry?

I'm loving maternity leave.

We are getting involved in different

1:57:471:57:51

adventures and groups so really

liking it.

Brilliant. And what about

1:57:511:57:55

you, Kate?

Loving every minute of

it. Especially now I have got used

1:57:551:58:02

to the breast-feeding, it is easier

now. I'm loving all of it and mostly

1:58:021:58:06

not at all.

And being able to watch

our programme. Thank you very much.

1:58:061:58:10

Really nice to talk to you.

Continued success with the rest of

1:58:101:58:15

your maternity leave. Tomorrow,

failing schools and the republican

1:58:151:58:20

candidate who is about to get

elected despite being accused of

1:58:201:58:25

sexual misconduct. Thank you for

company today. We're back tomorrow

1:58:251:58:29

at 9am.
