0:00:00 > 0:00:00--Brakes failed to work.
0:00:00 > 0:00:04Now on BBC News, Victoria Derbyshire takes a look back at the exclusive
0:00:04 > 0:00:09interviews and films which have featured on her programme in 2017.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Hello and welcome to our programme. Over the next 30 minutes we will
0:00:22 > 0:00:25bring you some exclusive interviews and original reports that we have
0:00:25 > 0:00:33broadcast over the last 12 months. Earlier this year we reported on how
0:00:33 > 0:00:37police risk assessment forms were used against predominantly black
0:00:37 > 0:00:43music artists. It was used as a risk assessment -- assessment for certain
0:00:43 > 0:00:48concerts but as explained, the events targeted seem to attract
0:00:48 > 0:00:56similar audiences.We don't question it any longer. We just know they try
0:00:56 > 0:01:05to shut us down. There should be a review of the whole 696 process. So
0:01:05 > 0:01:18would you say that form 696 is racist?Yes. It is a big tidal wave
0:01:18 > 0:01:30of... It is all great, it gives us blessings.Storms hit number one
0:01:30 > 0:01:34with his debut album gang signs and press a few weeks back and broke
0:01:34 > 0:01:38records including racking up the most first two extremes for a number
0:01:38 > 0:01:42one album in chart history. Attention is so strong on grime
0:01:42 > 0:01:47right now that when he freestyle of about the Brits failing to
0:01:47 > 0:01:51acknowledge any one in 2016, the Brits bosses called him in and
0:01:51 > 0:01:55change their voting structure.Grime has exploded. It has absolutely
0:01:55 > 0:02:01exploded. Has been a massive explosion in consumption and the
0:02:01 > 0:02:10retention rate of people and people searching. Someone like Skip to all
0:02:10 > 0:02:22storms the, they get several million streams per month.Grime is like a
0:02:22 > 0:02:27musical representation of London street culture. Fast tempo, high
0:02:27 > 0:02:32energy, attitude, there is culture, it is fashion and the way we speak.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38All rolled into that 140 BPM electronic dance all. -- a dance
0:02:38 > 0:02:45hall. You have to listen to it. You need to experience it before you
0:02:45 > 0:02:51fully understand what it is.One way to experience grime like all genres
0:02:51 > 0:02:55of music is by going to a gig. But people in the industry say that this
0:02:55 > 0:03:06form, used in London and known as the promotion event form 696 is
0:03:06 > 0:03:09stopping those experiences and targeting music like Ryan. DJs have
0:03:09 > 0:03:17to fill out this form and that can be things like Garrard, R&B, grime.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Predominantly music enjoyed and performed by black people. Other
0:03:20 > 0:03:26genres like pop or rock do not have to fill out a special risk
0:03:26 > 0:03:29assessment form and even though it is voluntary, those who do have the
0:03:29 > 0:03:35wheel it out feel obliged. An idea that you could identify an advance
0:03:35 > 0:03:44potential issues. Would you say that form 696 is racist? As an artist, it
0:03:44 > 0:03:49seems to have a following where there are a lot of incidents. Or of
0:03:49 > 0:03:55an artist is seen as encouraging a certain kind of dynamic with
0:03:55 > 0:03:59different groups or gangs coming together, they are seen as a problem
0:03:59 > 0:04:04and then identify.I think that is a way that people see the 696 form,
0:04:04 > 0:04:09preventing those things. People get into habits and they start hearing
0:04:09 > 0:04:12certain things and then they think that this music means that there
0:04:12 > 0:04:18will be more problems because it will mean these types of people. The
0:04:18 > 0:04:24form is not racist, the former is a form.I do feel it is. In my
0:04:24 > 0:04:32experience, when it is predominantly black people, without fail, the 696
0:04:32 > 0:04:37form comes out and we have to do it. I don't have to do the form, I am
0:04:37 > 0:04:47performing in Oceana, it it is middle-class or upper-class white
0:04:47 > 0:04:50areas, certain cities, certain areas don't have to do the form at all.
0:04:50 > 0:04:56That is a form of racism to me.It is implicitly explicit, if that
0:04:56 > 0:05:03makes sends. Your genre is targeted because you have not written
0:05:03 > 0:05:07anything about any other type of demographic. They can say it is not
0:05:07 > 0:05:11racist but it is targeted and that is the equivalent.Let's be clear on
0:05:11 > 0:05:19how form 696 is to work. You want to put on a gig featuring storms the.
0:05:19 > 0:05:27He is an artist 's. We need detail, promoter, his real name, date of
0:05:27 > 0:05:31birth and address. That is then sent to the Metropolitan police's Central
0:05:31 > 0:05:35licensing team and the Met told us they do research with the
0:05:35 > 0:05:38information received. They would not go into detail but it is likely to
0:05:38 > 0:05:42include criminal background checks. The Met then grade that event. Those
0:05:42 > 0:05:47greetings can go from low to medium to high risk. Again, police would
0:05:47 > 0:05:53not tell us what constitutes which event. Grade is then sent to the
0:05:53 > 0:05:57venue and to the local licensing police unit and according to the
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Metropolitan police event up to the venue of a promoter or the local
0:06:01 > 0:06:07licensing police unit whether to counsel the event. Last year, a club
0:06:07 > 0:06:10in Croydon London hit the headlines after it was revealed that through
0:06:10 > 0:06:19form 696, police had told the promoted to ban a form of Jamaican
0:06:19 > 0:06:24music.I received this form and it said that it is an unacceptable form
0:06:24 > 0:06:27of music and if we continue to play yet we would literally risk losing
0:06:27 > 0:06:33our business. We were told that Basham and may attract the wrong
0:06:33 > 0:06:38type of people. I don't think they wanted to see too many black people
0:06:38 > 0:06:43coming into the town centre.At the time, police disputed that was the
0:06:43 > 0:06:47case and the club has remained open. Since our report on the
0:06:47 > 0:06:51controversial form, the Met Police have announced they will scrap it.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56If you have a story you think we should cover, get in touch. You can
0:06:56 > 0:07:06e-mail are sad Victoria@BBC.co.uk. Next, we travelled to southern
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Hungary where the mayor of the village there speaks openly about
0:07:09 > 0:07:13his plans to create a utopia for white people. We exclusively
0:07:13 > 0:07:17revealed how members of the far right in Britain appeared to have
0:07:17 > 0:07:21taken an interest in the place. This village on the southern Hungarian
0:07:21 > 0:07:29plains is just minutes from the Serbian border. It is where, in
0:07:29 > 0:07:342015, 10,000 migrants a day crossed into Hungary. The village population
0:07:34 > 0:07:39is declining. And homesteads stand vacant. The mayor he wants to
0:07:39 > 0:07:47attract foreign investors but not just any foreigner. TRANSLATION:We
0:07:47 > 0:07:51primarily welcome people from western Europe. People who would not
0:07:51 > 0:07:56like to live in a multicultural society. We would not like to
0:07:56 > 0:08:00attract Muslim people to live in the village.And what if I was black or
0:08:00 > 0:08:07gay? How would you feel? TRANSLATION:We have a bye law that
0:08:07 > 0:08:12bans homosexual propaganda. We adopt did a few weeks ago. As for your
0:08:12 > 0:08:17other question, think about this. Europe is small. It can not taking
0:08:17 > 0:08:20billions of people from Africa and South Asia. But there is a
0:08:20 > 0:08:26population boom. This will lead to a disappearance of Europe. I would
0:08:26 > 0:08:31like Europe to belong to Europeans. Asia to belong to Asians and Africa
0:08:31 > 0:08:35to Africans.As simple as that. He is so serious he has introduced
0:08:35 > 0:08:40local legislation banning public displays of affection by gay people,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43the wearing of Islamic dress and he wants to ban the building of
0:08:43 > 0:08:49mosques. And his views are being pushed by a British organisation
0:08:49 > 0:08:55called nights Templer International. The former British National party
0:08:55 > 0:09:00and leader, Nick Griffin, is a member, and the group is advertising
0:09:00 > 0:09:03smallholdings for sale in the Hungarian village.Hungary has
0:09:03 > 0:09:10already seen by more and more West Europeans as a place of refuge, a
0:09:10 > 0:09:14place to get away from the hell that is about to break loose in Western
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Europe.There two Muslims in the town. One agreed to speak to us but
0:09:19 > 0:09:23at the last moment pulled out. He did not want to attract attention to
0:09:23 > 0:09:28themselves. They spoke of their fears to Hungarian media in the past
0:09:28 > 0:09:33but other villagers reject the laws are huge concern. However, they are
0:09:33 > 0:09:38the talk of the village pub. TRANSLATION:Important issues like
0:09:38 > 0:09:41this should be regulated by the National government, not local
0:09:41 > 0:09:49legislation. >> If they take off their veil, I will accept them. It
0:09:49 > 0:09:52does not even matter if they are black. Should become Hungarian
0:09:52 > 0:09:55citizens, even if they are Muslims or whatever.I am trying to create
0:09:55 > 0:10:02-- are you trying to create a white supremacist village?I don't use
0:10:02 > 0:10:08this word white because we are white European Christian population, we
0:10:08 > 0:10:17want to stay this, like this.If you want to watch all of our reports in
0:10:17 > 0:10:24full you can do so on our website. Successive governments in the UK
0:10:24 > 0:10:28have all made similar promises about wanting to make Britain more of a
0:10:28 > 0:10:31place where it is easier for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to
0:10:31 > 0:10:38get ahead. As our reporter, who was taken into care as a boy and grew up
0:10:38 > 0:10:42in three different foster homes before his 18th birthday, explains,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46he says there is little support in Britain for those with less
0:10:46 > 0:10:51fortunate start in life. I left her when I was 18 and I moved into a
0:10:51 > 0:10:55council flat on the street. I am quite nervous because I have not
0:10:55 > 0:11:01returned here for five years. It brings back some emotion. This is
0:11:01 > 0:11:06the flat I moved into when I left care and had to fend for myself as
0:11:06 > 0:11:15an adult. I can see the flat. It is a little crazy. Bosch. I am
0:11:15 > 0:11:19wondering what the heck? I had to live independently, by myself, with
0:11:19 > 0:11:24our family as a care leaver. The most difficult weekend of my live
0:11:24 > 0:11:33was when I had 37p to live off for a weekend and all I could afford was
0:11:33 > 0:11:38an onion and I had a little tuna and I made faster tuna. A lift by
0:11:38 > 0:11:50myself. -- and lived by myself. I know I was not alone in finding it
0:11:50 > 0:11:55difficult to leave care, especially when it comes to money. Research
0:11:55 > 0:11:59suggests that well over half of care leavers struggle to pay bills and
0:11:59 > 0:12:07avoid debt. That is why as of this month, some councils have decided to
0:12:07 > 0:12:11stop charging care leavers council tax until they are older. In
0:12:11 > 0:12:15reality, only a small number of care leavers will benefit. The councils
0:12:15 > 0:12:19who are doing this hope it will leave the sudden transition into
0:12:19 > 0:12:30adult would. -- ease the sudden transition. Can I have a handshake?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Was taken into care on Christmas Eve when she was five. Growing up, she
0:12:34 > 0:12:37was moved 15 times all over the country. Tell me about when you left
0:12:37 > 0:12:44care.They went that is it, we no longer need to contact you. You have
0:12:44 > 0:12:48hit an age where you can live independently. Off you go into the
0:12:48 > 0:12:53world. There was a lot of preparation for that. O, my bank.
0:12:53 > 0:13:00Dina what it is? We regret that you couldn't make payment.Could I read
0:13:00 > 0:13:07that? Do you mind? How much are you in debt?About £2000 across
0:13:07 > 0:13:13different companies. Council bill is the worst one. It goes out of
0:13:13 > 0:13:24control.Does it feel like home?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34This is my place that nobody can take away from me.Dodi was taken
0:13:34 > 0:13:38into care when she was eight and left when she was 20. She had a
0:13:38 > 0:13:44happy foster home. She was upset to leave but says she was also excited
0:13:44 > 0:13:47at the prospect of being independent. Had to cope with the
0:13:47 > 0:13:53pressure of being an adult rent, bills, council tax?Denial. A lot of
0:13:53 > 0:13:59deny all. Every person has to deal with it.Some councils have decided
0:13:59 > 0:14:06to scrap council tax. For young care leavers. Do you think this is a
0:14:06 > 0:14:14measure that will help was to mark yeah.I do. It gives them the chance
0:14:14 > 0:14:19to adjust.Some may say why should care leavers benefit from this but
0:14:19 > 0:14:23not other vulnerable people in society.Other people who come from
0:14:23 > 0:14:31a normal family have their parents to borrow 20 quid from and other
0:14:31 > 0:14:35people don't. Often I have literally had nothing in the cupboard because
0:14:35 > 0:14:42I had no money left to purchase food.
0:14:42 > 0:14:50We took two celebrities with opposing views out on a blind date.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53The series showed that, in an increasingly polarised world, they
0:14:53 > 0:15:01can be new ones and even consensus amongst people on opposite sides of
0:15:01 > 0:15:05the spectrum. We shined the silverware, polished glasses and
0:15:05 > 0:15:12invited them to lunch. An election blind date.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22I interpret feminism as saying quite simply women can do what they want
0:15:22 > 0:15:29to do and not being told what to do by a man.That is simplistic.It is
0:15:29 > 0:15:37not a matter of just being uniform, he have to be smart.You go from
0:15:37 > 0:15:44this wonderful career start to make money at your level.Of course, they
0:15:44 > 0:15:50don't they go into their businesses. These people are entrepreneurs and
0:15:50 > 0:15:55they are going forward, they come from around Europe. This is one of
0:15:55 > 0:16:07the reasons I Remainer.Can I just slightly parody you and say I am a
0:16:07 > 0:16:14Remainer because I want all those eastern European girls to take their
0:16:14 > 0:16:20clothes off in my club.Want them to come and earn money my club. The
0:16:20 > 0:16:26English are more than welcome also. I have no reason to think you are
0:16:26 > 0:16:33not either than sincere. But the simplistic notion that feminism is
0:16:33 > 0:16:41about what women want to do because the whole point about women's
0:16:41 > 0:16:47choices is that they are deeply determined by your whole range of...
0:16:47 > 0:16:58That do not have a free choice. It would be interesting to talk to some
0:16:58 > 0:17:03of your girls and one day perhaps I will get a chance. Isn't it just
0:17:03 > 0:17:10that they are too old?Why do you think they would talk to you? Would
0:17:10 > 0:17:15you go up to somebody in the street and say I am wondering why it you
0:17:15 > 0:17:20are painting, why are you driving the truck?Maybe it can set
0:17:20 > 0:17:37something off.You are quite a pretty lady.Get that on camera!
0:17:37 > 0:17:43Call me inconsistent.Maybe you are not photogenic but you have very
0:17:43 > 0:17:54sparkly eyes.I am what I am. I have had enough major run-ins with people
0:17:54 > 0:18:01who are really saying to me, look, darling, you are grey haired, why
0:18:01 > 0:18:07can't you die yet? Why it can't you do something about your teeth?
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Please make yourself look prettier for us.I do not know that world.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17That world where people would say that to you.But don't you think you
0:18:17 > 0:18:23underpinned it. It is a very different world for a man with grey
0:18:23 > 0:18:31hair than for a woman... What you saying? You look at gloriously
0:18:31 > 0:18:41interesting...I am hunky...If you are a woman with grey hair, you are
0:18:41 > 0:18:47constantly told that you should do something about yourself. Now, you
0:18:47 > 0:18:53might say that has nothing to do with it but I would say you have to
0:18:53 > 0:18:58look to what underpins and justifies that particular way of judging
0:18:58 > 0:19:07women. What I think underpins it is in your girls in your clubs who
0:19:07 > 0:19:15actually really embed or represent, if you like, of you of the female
0:19:15 > 0:19:25beauty.I have to say no, Mary. I will answer it for me and the men in
0:19:25 > 0:19:29general as best I can. Sadly, Hugh have bumped into summer with people.
0:19:29 > 0:19:37The men I know they will judge between women, small boots, big
0:19:37 > 0:19:43boots, blonde hair, but the women do the same to the men. I like the guy
0:19:43 > 0:19:52with tattoos, with no hair, look at me, I76, two young babies, they are
0:19:52 > 0:20:00gorgeous, a beautiful wife at 35... 34, I hope I got that right. And I
0:20:00 > 0:20:08get judge, she's in it the money. Rubbish.We are not talking about a
0:20:08 > 0:20:15world in which nobody judges anybody else but you tend to stop you
0:20:15 > 0:20:23analysis too quickly. How does Power influence, money, aspiration, relate
0:20:23 > 0:20:29to those ideas of judgement. Somebody who has grown up looking at
0:20:29 > 0:20:37the television, at wrinkly old guys...I am taking this personal...
0:20:37 > 0:20:45I quite like wrinkly old guys, but looking at wrinkly old guys and I
0:20:45 > 0:20:52looking at young women with blonde hair. One of the things women over
0:20:52 > 0:20:5850 said is that they feel invisible. We judge everybody.We do it with
0:20:58 > 0:21:05cars. It is no good saying that.I bet you judge my outfits.I just
0:21:05 > 0:21:16want to say... Would love to teach you, Peter, and would like to see a
0:21:16 > 0:21:23and SH to write and have a good Barney.I like all of that. I know
0:21:23 > 0:21:30more than you. I have lived longer, I have had more experience. Your
0:21:30 > 0:21:37experience is quite limited. Mine is massive.You have no idea how
0:21:37 > 0:21:44limited my experiences are. At talk about extending my experiences. I
0:21:44 > 0:21:48interested to talk to some of the women that work in a club and you
0:21:48 > 0:21:52say, why would they want to speak to you?I didn't say that at all.You
0:21:52 > 0:22:05can watch the full blind date on our website. Finally, we had a number of
0:22:05 > 0:22:09a list as Jonas on the programme. From the world of sports, politics
0:22:09 > 0:22:16and showbiz. There sat for playing Samantha in six of the city, she is
0:22:16 > 0:22:20campaigning for better roles for older women saying ageism is rife in
0:22:20 > 0:22:26the acting world.It is such a diverse number of roles but you say,
0:22:26 > 0:22:33actually now, that the best roles are we in Europe. Why is it that? I
0:22:33 > 0:22:38think Europe knows what to do with women of a certain age. More than
0:22:38 > 0:22:42America does. And part of it is because America is a younger country
0:22:42 > 0:22:48and is used oriented. I have been lucky enough to have been born here.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53My family is all here so when I come over and work, I feel the reason is
0:22:53 > 0:22:58that what is there and I have a lot of friends in the UK so it has been
0:22:58 > 0:23:04a really buy a second home for the past almost 20 years now and I have
0:23:04 > 0:23:09so happy to be here. I love doing theatre. It is part of people 's
0:23:09 > 0:23:15lives here not like a spectacle as it is in America. It is just what
0:23:15 > 0:23:20you do, go to the theatre. I do not do musicals. I do straight theatre
0:23:20 > 0:23:30and mostly classical and there are an huge roles of air. The companies
0:23:30 > 0:23:35are the best in the world.It does not make sense that a whole
0:23:35 > 0:23:41continent can find roles for older women and another continent cannot.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Part of it is there are just fewer roles. I not ready to play someone
0:23:45 > 0:23:54who is grotesque, either from being thought of as just a very, very old
