2017 Highlights Part Two Victoria Derbyshire

--Brakes failed to work.

Now on BBC News, Victoria Derbyshire

takes a look back at the exclusive

interviews and films which have

featured on her programme in 2017.

Hello and welcome to our programme.

Over the next 30 minutes we will

bring you some exclusive interviews

and original reports that we have

broadcast over the last 12 months.

Earlier this year we reported on how

police risk assessment forms were

used against predominantly black

music artists. It was used as a risk

assessment -- assessment for certain

concerts but as explained, the

events targeted seem to attract

similar audiences.

We don't question

it any longer. We just know they try

to shut us down. There should be a

review of the whole 696 process. So

would you say that form 696 is

racist?

Yes. It is a big tidal wave

of... It is all great, it gives us

blessings.

Storms hit number one

with his debut album gang signs and

press a few weeks back and broke

records including racking up the

most first two extremes for a number

one album in chart history.

Attention is so strong on grime

right now that when he freestyle of

about the Brits failing to

acknowledge any one in 2016, the

Brits bosses called him in and

change their voting structure.

Grime

has exploded. It has absolutely

exploded. Has been a massive

explosion in consumption and the

retention rate of people and people

searching. Someone like Skip to all

storms the, they get several million

streams per month.

Grime is like a

musical representation of London

street culture. Fast tempo, high

energy, attitude, there is culture,

it is fashion and the way we speak.

All rolled into that 140 BPM

electronic dance all. -- a dance

hall. You have to listen to it. You

need to experience it before you

fully understand what it is.

One way

to experience grime like all genres

of music is by going to a gig. But

people in the industry say that this

form, used in London and known as

the promotion event form 696 is

stopping those experiences and

targeting music like Ryan. DJs have

to fill out this form and that can

be things like Garrard, R&B, grime.

Predominantly music enjoyed and

performed by black people. Other

genres like pop or rock do not have

to fill out a special risk

assessment form and even though it

is voluntary, those who do have the

wheel it out feel obliged. An idea

that you could identify an advance

potential issues. Would you say that

form 696 is racist? As an artist, it

seems to have a following where

there are a lot of incidents. Or of

an artist is seen as encouraging a

certain kind of dynamic with

different groups or gangs coming

together, they are seen as a problem

and then identify.

I think that is a

way that people see the 696 form,

preventing those things. People get

into habits and they start hearing

certain things and then they think

that this music means that there

will be more problems because it

will mean these types of people. The

form is not racist, the former is a

form.

I do feel it is. In my

experience, when it is predominantly

black people, without fail, the 696

form comes out and we have to do it.

I don't have to do the form, I am

performing in Oceana, it it is

middle-class or upper-class white

areas, certain cities, certain areas

don't have to do the form at all.

That is a form of racism to me.

It

is implicitly explicit, if that

makes sends. Your genre is targeted

because you have not written

anything about any other type of

demographic. They can say it is not

racist but it is targeted and that

is the equivalent.

Let's be clear on

how form 696 is to work. You want to

put on a gig featuring storms the.

He is an artist 's. We need detail,

promoter, his real name, date of

birth and address. That is then sent

to the Metropolitan police's Central

licensing team and the Met told us

they do research with the

information received. They would not

go into detail but it is likely to

include criminal background checks.

The Met then grade that event. Those

greetings can go from low to medium

to high risk. Again, police would

not tell us what constitutes which

event. Grade is then sent to the

venue and to the local licensing

police unit and according to the

Metropolitan police event up to the

venue of a promoter or the local

licensing police unit whether to

counsel the event. Last year, a club

in Croydon London hit the headlines

after it was revealed that through

form 696, police had told the

promoted to ban a form of Jamaican

music.

I received this form and it

said that it is an unacceptable form

of music and if we continue to play

yet we would literally risk losing

our business. We were told that

Basham and may attract the wrong

type of people. I don't think they

wanted to see too many black people

coming into the town centre.

At the

time, police disputed that was the

case and the club has remained open.

Since our report on the

controversial form, the Met Police

have announced they will scrap it.

If you have a story you think we

should cover, get in touch. You can

e-mail are sad [email protected].

Next, we travelled to southern

Hungary where the mayor of the

village there speaks openly about

his plans to create a utopia for

white people. We exclusively

revealed how members of the far

right in Britain appeared to have

taken an interest in the place. This

village on the southern Hungarian

plains is just minutes from the

Serbian border. It is where, in

2015, 10,000 migrants a day crossed

into Hungary. The village population

is declining. And homesteads stand

vacant. The mayor he wants to

attract foreign investors but not

just any foreigner. TRANSLATION:

We

primarily welcome people from

western Europe. People who would not

like to live in a multicultural

society. We would not like to

attract Muslim people to live in the

village.

And what if I was black or

gay? How would you feel?

TRANSLATION:

We have a bye law that

bans homosexual propaganda. We adopt

did a few weeks ago. As for your

other question, think about this.

Europe is small. It can not taking

billions of people from Africa and

South Asia. But there is a

population boom. This will lead to a

disappearance of Europe. I would

like Europe to belong to Europeans.

Asia to belong to Asians and Africa

to Africans.

As simple as that. He

is so serious he has introduced

local legislation banning public

displays of affection by gay people,

the wearing of Islamic dress and he

wants to ban the building of

mosques. And his views are being

pushed by a British organisation

called nights Templer International.

The former British National party

and leader, Nick Griffin, is a

member, and the group is advertising

smallholdings for sale in the

Hungarian village.

Hungary has

already seen by more and more West

Europeans as a place of refuge, a

place to get away from the hell that

is about to break loose in Western

Europe.

There two Muslims in the

town. One agreed to speak to us but

at the last moment pulled out. He

did not want to attract attention to

themselves. They spoke of their

fears to Hungarian media in the past

but other villagers reject the laws

are huge concern. However, they are

the talk of the village pub.

TRANSLATION:

Important issues like

this should be regulated by the

National government, not local

legislation. >> If they take off

their veil, I will accept them. It

does not even matter if they are

black. Should become Hungarian

citizens, even if they are Muslims

or whatever.

I am trying to create

-- are you trying to create a white

supremacist village?

I don't use

this word white because we are white

European Christian population, we

want to stay this, like this.

If you

want to watch all of our reports in

full you can do so on our website.

Successive governments in the UK

have all made similar promises about

wanting to make Britain more of a

place where it is easier for people

from disadvantaged backgrounds to

get ahead. As our reporter, who was

taken into care as a boy and grew up

in three different foster homes

before his 18th birthday, explains,

he says there is little support in

Britain for those with less

fortunate start in life. I left her

when I was 18 and I moved into a

council flat on the street. I am

quite nervous because I have not

returned here for five years. It

brings back some emotion. This is

the flat I moved into when I left

care and had to fend for myself as

an adult. I can see the flat. It is

a little crazy. Bosch. I am

wondering what the heck? I had to

live independently, by myself, with

our family as a care leaver. The

most difficult weekend of my live

was when I had 37p to live off for a

weekend and all I could afford was

an onion and I had a little tuna and

I made faster tuna. A lift by

myself. -- and lived by myself. I

know I was not alone in finding it

difficult to leave care, especially

when it comes to money. Research

suggests that well over half of care

leavers struggle to pay bills and

avoid debt. That is why as of this

month, some councils have decided to

stop charging care leavers council

tax until they are older. In

reality, only a small number of care

leavers will benefit. The councils

who are doing this hope it will

leave the sudden transition into

adult would. -- ease the sudden

transition. Can I have a handshake?

Was taken into care on Christmas Eve

when she was five. Growing up, she

was moved 15 times all over the

country. Tell me about when you left

care.

They went that is it, we no

longer need to contact you. You have

hit an age where you can live

independently. Off you go into the

world. There was a lot of

preparation for that. O, my bank.

Dina what it is? We regret that you

couldn't make payment.

Could I read

that? Do you mind? How much are you

in debt?

About £2000 across

different companies. Council bill is

the worst one. It goes out of

control.

Does it feel like home?

This is my place that nobody can

take away from me.

Dodi was taken

into care when she was eight and

left when she was 20. She had a

happy foster home. She was upset to

leave but says she was also excited

at the prospect of being

independent. Had to cope with the

pressure of being an adult rent,

bills, council tax?

Denial. A lot of

deny all. Every person has to deal

with it.

Some councils have decided

to scrap council tax. For young care

leavers. Do you think this is a

measure that will help was to mark

yeah.

I do. It gives them the chance

to adjust.

Some may say why should

care leavers benefit from this but

not other vulnerable people in

society.

Other people who come from

a normal family have their parents

to borrow 20 quid from and other

people don't. Often I have literally

had nothing in the cupboard because

I had no money left to purchase

food.

We took two celebrities with

opposing views out on a blind date.

The series showed that, in an

increasingly polarised world, they

can be new ones and even consensus

amongst people on opposite sides of

the spectrum. We shined the

silverware, polished glasses and

invited them to lunch. An election

blind date.

I interpret feminism as saying quite

simply women can do what they want

to do and not being told what to do

by a man.

That is simplistic.

It is

not a matter of just being uniform,

he have to be smart.

You go from

this wonderful career start to make

money at your level.

Of course, they

don't they go into their businesses.

These people are entrepreneurs and

they are going forward, they come

from around Europe. This is one of

the reasons I Remainer.

Can I just

slightly parody you and say I am a

Remainer because I want all those

eastern European girls to take their

clothes off in my club.

Want them to

come and earn money my club. The

English are more than welcome also.

I have no reason to think you are

not either than sincere. But the

simplistic notion that feminism is

about what women want to do because

the whole point about women's

choices is that they are deeply

determined by your whole range of...

That do not have a free choice. It

would be interesting to talk to some

of your girls and one day perhaps I

will get a chance. Isn't it just

that they are too old?

Why do you

think they would talk to you? Would

you go up to somebody in the street

and say I am wondering why it you

are painting, why are you driving

the truck?

Maybe it can set

something off.

You are quite a

pretty lady.

Get that on camera!

Call me inconsistent.

Maybe you are

not photogenic but you have very

sparkly eyes.

I am what I am. I have

had enough major run-ins with people

who are really saying to me, look,

darling, you are grey haired, why

can't you die yet? Why it can't you

do something about your teeth?

Please make yourself look prettier

for us.

I do not know that world.

That world where people would say

that to you.

But don't you think you

underpinned it. It is a very

different world for a man with grey

hair than for a woman... What you

saying? You look at gloriously

interesting...

I am hunky...

If you

are a woman with grey hair, you are

constantly told that you should do

something about yourself. Now, you

might say that has nothing to do

with it but I would say you have to

look to what underpins and justifies

that particular way of judging

women. What I think underpins it is

in your girls in your clubs who

actually really embed or represent,

if you like, of you of the female

beauty.

I have to say no, Mary. I

will answer it for me and the men in

general as best I can. Sadly, Hugh

have bumped into summer with people.

The men I know they will judge

between women, small boots, big

boots, blonde hair, but the women do

the same to the men. I like the guy

with tattoos, with no hair, look at

me, I76, two young babies, they are

gorgeous, a beautiful wife at 35...

34, I hope I got that right. And I

get judge, she's in it the money.

Rubbish.

We are not talking about a

world in which nobody judges anybody

else but you tend to stop you

analysis too quickly. How does Power

influence, money, aspiration, relate

to those ideas of judgement.

Somebody who has grown up looking at

the television, at wrinkly old

guys...

I am taking this personal...

I quite like wrinkly old guys, but

looking at wrinkly old guys and I

looking at young women with blonde

hair. One of the things women over

50 said is that they feel invisible.

We judge everybody.

We do it with

cars. It is no good saying that.

I

bet you judge my outfits.

I just

want to say... Would love to teach

you, Peter, and would like to see a

and SH to write and have a good

Barney.

I like all of that. I know

more than you. I have lived longer,

I have had more experience. Your

experience is quite limited. Mine is

massive.

You have no idea how

limited my experiences are. At talk

about extending my experiences. I

interested to talk to some of the

women that work in a club and you

say, why would they want to speak to

you?

I didn't say that at all.

You

can watch the full blind date on our

website. Finally, we had a number of

a list as Jonas on the programme.

From the world of sports, politics

and showbiz. There sat for playing

Samantha in six of the city, she is

campaigning for better roles for

older women saying ageism is rife in

the acting world.

It is such a

diverse number of roles but you say,

actually now, that the best roles

are we in Europe. Why is it that? I

think Europe knows what to do with

women of a certain age. More than

America does. And part of it is

because America is a younger country

and is used oriented. I have been

lucky enough to have been born here.

My family is all here so when I come

over and work, I feel the reason is

that what is there and I have a lot

of friends in the UK so it has been

a really buy a second home for the

past almost 20 years now and I have

so happy to be here. I love doing

theatre. It is part of people 's

lives here not like a spectacle as

it is in America. It is just what

you do, go to the theatre. I do not

do musicals. I do straight theatre

and mostly classical and there are

an huge roles of air. The companies

are the best in the world.

It does

not make sense that a whole

continent can find roles for older

women and another continent cannot.

Part of it is there are just fewer

roles. I not ready to play someone

who is grotesque, either from being

thought of as just a very, very old

woman at 60, 61, which I am not, and

I do not feel that way. There are

very few roles to begin with and

those roles are either into

categories - someone wanting to be

young in a desperate way or someone

giving up that is why I do not

depend on Hollywood for jobs any

more and that is why a became an

executive producer. I found a

property almost ten years ago and I

thought, this is a character I have

never seen on screen. A woman who is

not a victim, who is not dying of

cancer, but is at a point in her

life saying, why now? My husband and

I have disconnected, the children

have left but I have 30 - 40 more

years of life ahead and who am I?

Those are questions that women my

age - a huge audience out there -

which I want to say to networks, you

are missing a big opportunity. We

need entertainment. We really do and

want to provide that.

Thank you for

watching. We are back to life on

January eight. In the meantime you

can
