0:00:09 > 0:00:11Hello, it's Tuesday, it's 9 o'clock,

0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme

0:00:13 > 0:00:16Our top story today - the Commonwealth has secretly begun

0:00:16 > 0:00:22considering who might succeed the Queen as its head -

0:00:22 > 0:00:23it won't automatically go to Prince Charles

0:00:23 > 0:00:24on the Queen's death.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26We'll bring you the story

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Also on the programme - why are men seven and a half times more

0:00:29 > 0:00:35likely to gamble then women?

0:00:35 > 0:00:40I just think it's sort of a lad culture thing, you can't go to the

0:00:40 > 0:00:44pub on a Saturday afternoon without having the foot walk on the TV and

0:00:44 > 0:00:49obviously there's adverts that, on and you get the urge to sort of have

0:00:49 > 0:00:55a bet on the football and I can't watch a game of football without

0:00:55 > 0:00:56having a bet on it.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58We'll find out how much of a problem

0:00:58 > 0:00:59gambling amongst men is.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Plus - stand down or face being forced out.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04The ultimatum given to South Africa President Jacob Zuma

0:01:04 > 0:01:13by his own party this morning.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18It's very hard to find real supporters of Jacob Zuma even in his

0:01:18 > 0:01:20former stronghold, it's hard to find supporters now.

0:01:20 > 0:01:28We'll look at a legacy of allegations of corruption.

0:01:28 > 0:01:36And we are here talking to Willian from the Black eyed peas about a

0:01:36 > 0:01:38range of issues.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39Hello...

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Throughout the morning we'll bring you the latest breaking news

0:01:43 > 0:01:45and developing stories and as always really keen

0:01:45 > 0:01:47to hear from you.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning -

0:01:50 > 0:01:53use the hashtag Victoria LIVE and If you text, you will be charged

0:01:53 > 0:01:54at the standard network rate.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Our top story today.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57The BBC has learned that the Commonwealth has begun

0:01:57 > 0:02:00considering who might succeed the Queen as the head

0:02:00 > 0:02:01of the organisation.

0:02:01 > 0:02:07Our reporter Caroline Davies is here...

0:02:07 > 0:02:11First of all, what is the Commonwealth? It's a group of 53

0:02:11 > 0:02:16countries, some of them used to be British, colonies, some of them have

0:02:16 > 0:02:20no ties to Britain at all, the language mostly used as English but

0:02:20 > 0:02:26there is no official status for that.What are they considering at

0:02:26 > 0:02:29the moment?People may be quite surprised that Prince Charles does

0:02:29 > 0:02:34not automatically become head of the Commonwealth, the Queen is currently

0:02:34 > 0:02:39head, but it is not hereditary, they don't have a formal process to

0:02:39 > 0:02:42select the leader at all so this is something that will be considered

0:02:42 > 0:02:47today. There is a high-level group set up by the Commonwealth to look

0:02:47 > 0:02:52at how it operates, they are going to be considering whether, different

0:02:52 > 0:02:55elements of the Commonwealth and how it works, we hear from insiders they

0:02:55 > 0:03:00will potentially talk about the fact who takes over from the Queen after

0:03:00 > 0:03:05she dies. There are an a few things currently on the table, it could be

0:03:05 > 0:03:13in style is is selected to be the next leader, that might be that it's

0:03:13 > 0:03:16a one off, it's Charles for now, when he dies, it might not

0:03:16 > 0:03:21automatically move on to Prince William. The other option, they

0:03:21 > 0:03:24decide it's going to be hereditary from now on, it is whoever the

0:03:24 > 0:03:29British monarch is automatically becomes leader of the Commonwealth.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Another option, Prince Charles is still the most likely option but

0:03:32 > 0:03:39there is the other option they elect a ceremonial leader, a strong

0:03:39 > 0:03:42democratic tradition with the Commonwealth, that is another

0:03:42 > 0:03:45potential feature they might discuss.Thank you very much,

0:03:45 > 0:03:52Caroline. Here is the rest of the news.

0:03:52 > 0:03:58Rachel Schofield is in the BBC Newsroom

0:03:58 > 0:04:02The ANC has made an official demand for leader Jacob Zuma to step down.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07It follows a 13 and a half hour meeting stop his time in office has

0:04:07 > 0:04:17been overshadowed by corruption allegations.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Cyril Ramaphosa left a 13 hour meeting on Monday night under the

0:04:21 > 0:04:26weight of the momentous decision, to remove President Jacob Zuma as the

0:04:26 > 0:04:30head of state. Earlier Cyril Ramaphosa delivered an ultimatum to

0:04:30 > 0:04:34the President at his official residence telling him to step down

0:04:34 > 0:04:37within the next two days but an unconfirmed report said Jacob Zuma

0:04:37 > 0:04:44had responded by asking for another three months in office.The new

0:04:44 > 0:04:48President of the African National Congress...Since Earl Ramaphosa was

0:04:48 > 0:04:53elected party leader in December Jacob Zuma has resisted immense

0:04:53 > 0:04:57pressure to resign. His second term has been plagued by scandal and the

0:04:57 > 0:05:03party rift has threatened the stability of South Africa's Gulbis

0:05:03 > 0:05:06liberation movement. On Sunday Cyril Ramaphosa told supporters in Cape

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Town he was seeking a new beginning and pledged to tackle the corruption

0:05:10 > 0:05:18that has marred nine years in office by Jacob Zuma. Allegations

0:05:18 > 0:05:22surrounding his links to the wealthy Gupta family have caused his

0:05:22 > 0:05:26popularity to plummet recently but he continues to command support in

0:05:26 > 0:05:32rural areas. Cyril Ramaphosa has said publicly he wanted to avoid

0:05:32 > 0:05:35recalling the President eager perhaps to protect his chances in

0:05:35 > 0:05:40the election next year yet still, Jacob Zuma refuses to quit and there

0:05:40 > 0:05:47is a no-confidence vote, even more turmoil could be around the corner.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48A new tool to fight online extremist

0:05:48 > 0:05:50activity is being unveiled by the Home Secretary

0:05:50 > 0:05:53during a trip to the US.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54It aims to detect content and remove it instantly.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Funded with more than half a million pounds of government money,

0:05:57 > 0:05:59the tool draws upon a vast database of material posted by

0:05:59 > 0:06:00the so-called Islamic State.

0:06:00 > 0:06:10Our technology reporter Dave Lee has more.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Created by an artificial intelligence company based in London

0:06:14 > 0:06:17and funded with more than have the million pounds government money to

0:06:17 > 0:06:21draws upon a vast database of material posted online by so-called

0:06:21 > 0:06:26Islamic State.We have two videos, one of which is legitimate news

0:06:26 > 0:06:31content, the other is terrorist propaganda. To my naked eye I

0:06:31 > 0:06:34actually can't tell the difference between them. But fortunately down

0:06:34 > 0:06:39at the bottom this is very low probability of being terrorist

0:06:39 > 0:06:46content but this one is much higher. Using this technique the software

0:06:46 > 0:06:52creators believe they can spot up to 94% of Islamic State content posted

0:06:52 > 0:06:58online with an accuracy of 99.9 and 5%. Anything the software is unsure

0:06:58 > 0:07:02about a slide for human review.I've had a demonstration of it and I know

0:07:02 > 0:07:07a lot of other people have as well and it's a convincing example that

0:07:07 > 0:07:10you can have the information you need to make sure this material does

0:07:10 > 0:07:14not go online in the first place. Advocates of an open Internet often

0:07:14 > 0:07:18pushed back against this kind of software because it can produce

0:07:18 > 0:07:21false positives, content being blocked when it should not be yet it

0:07:21 > 0:07:27is estimated over 400 different web services were used to spread

0:07:27 > 0:07:33propaganda in 2017 and the task is less about blocking jihadists online

0:07:33 > 0:07:41today but addicting offer they might be on the Internet tomorrow.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Two teenagers have an arrested on suspicion of murder after a six-week

0:07:44 > 0:07:55baby died in. Police were called to an address with reports of a child

0:07:55 > 0:07:59needing medical attention, the baby was taken to hospital and pronounced

0:07:59 > 0:08:04dead. An 18-year-old woman and 16-year-old boys were arrested and

0:08:04 > 0:08:06are being held in custody.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08This programme has learned that men

0:08:08 > 0:08:10are seven-and-a-half times more likely than women to

0:08:10 > 0:08:11become problem gamblers.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13In the UK there are thought to be around 430,000 problem

0:08:13 > 0:08:16gamblers but experts and gambling addicts say a mix of lad culture,

0:08:16 > 0:08:19advertising and biology is to blame for more men becoming addicts.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21The gambling commission say they are focused on ensuring

0:08:21 > 0:08:23that the gambling industry tackles problem gambling for all people.

0:08:23 > 0:08:29We'll have a special report on this issue shortly.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38British holiday-makers are heading back to Tunisia this morning more

0:08:38 > 0:08:44than two years after a terror attack all 38 people, 30 of them Britons in

0:08:44 > 0:08:48the Beach resort. Thomas Cook is the first British tour company to resume

0:08:48 > 0:08:56flights to the country as John Maguire reports.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58With it is idyllic white beaches and pristine

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Mediterranean coastline, Tunisia was a popular holiday

0:08:59 > 0:09:02destination for British tourists - attracted around 4430,000 of them

0:09:02 > 0:09:03each year.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07But then came the attack in June 2015, when a gunman killed

0:09:07 > 0:09:09on a beach near Sousse.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12So-called Islamic State said it was behind the shooting.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Almost three years on from that deadly attack,

0:09:14 > 0:09:16and British tour companies are once again offering package holidays to

0:09:16 > 0:09:19the country.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21This morning the 220 passengers were the first to return

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- flying from Birmingham.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29I'm a bit nervous, because I didn't know we

0:09:29 > 0:09:32were the first one and we were out there the last time when the

0:09:32 > 0:09:35terrorist attack was on, so we were staying in the hotel down

0:09:35 > 0:09:37the road, but we love the country, so as soon

0:09:37 > 0:09:42as we knew there was a flight going, we thought we would be going back

0:09:42 > 0:09:42out there.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I have still been travelling while it's been closed.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46I go to France or Germany normally.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah, so, no, I'm not scared at all.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Fine, can't wait. No trouble.

0:09:51 > 0:09:57Beautiful place. Beautiful.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Probably more dangerous staying in London

0:09:58 > 0:09:59than it is staying out there.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02British officials say Tunisia has made huge progress in counter

0:10:02 > 0:10:03terrorism and security since the attacks,

0:10:03 > 0:10:05although the Foreign Office advice that is travellers are

0:10:05 > 0:10:15vigilant at all times as the country remains in a state of emergency.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Thousands of people - mainly women and children -

0:10:18 > 0:10:20are fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo to neighbouring Uganda

0:10:20 > 0:10:24following an army offensive against rebel groups.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Aid workers say the situation is at "breaking point"

0:10:26 > 0:10:28with the United Nations claiming up to 370,000 people could leave.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Half a million people have already been displaced by fighting

0:10:31 > 0:10:37over the last two years.

0:10:38 > 0:10:48That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Good morning. Welcome to the programme, this is a message from

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Andrew on Facebook, a report in a few minutes, gambling is mentally of

0:10:56 > 0:10:59avoiding issues like stress, depression, loneliness, women can

0:10:59 > 0:11:04open up and talk to each other, men hide away and play online games or

0:11:04 > 0:11:06gamble.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Do get in touch with us

0:11:07 > 0:11:09throughout the morning - use the hashtag Victoria LIVE

0:11:09 > 0:11:12and If you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Let's get some sport with Holly.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Elise Christie is going for gold in Pyeongchang this morning,

0:11:16 > 0:11:21how much of a chance has she got?

0:11:21 > 0:11:26She is one of the most exciting prospects in Team GB, one of the

0:11:26 > 0:11:30most likely to walk away with a gold medal but she is the favourite for

0:11:30 > 0:11:36the 1000 metre audits the 500 metre she has this morning, just shortly

0:11:36 > 0:11:41after 10am but she is leaking in incredible shape at the minute. She

0:11:41 > 0:11:49won her short track heat in an Olympic time but it was broken just

0:11:49 > 0:11:52some minutes later but she remains second favourite for the race this

0:11:52 > 0:11:58morning, favourite for the 1000 metres, the thing is it can all go

0:11:58 > 0:12:05wrong, think back to Sochi 2014, she was disqualified in all three of her

0:12:05 > 0:12:09events, after the referee held responsible for a three woman

0:12:09 > 0:12:14pile-up. As you can see, her escape connected with one of the other

0:12:14 > 0:12:20racers, it's been a hard road for her, she's had to endure online

0:12:20 > 0:12:23abuse, get into training again for the Olympic Games, she has clearly

0:12:23 > 0:12:27put all of that behind her, 10am this morning that race will get

0:12:27 > 0:12:32under way and if you are going to watch one thing this should

0:12:32 > 0:12:42definitely be it. Fingers crossed for her.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44England are playing New Zealand in a Twenty20

0:12:44 > 0:12:46cricket match, how are they getting on?

0:12:46 > 0:12:47Chelsea won last night, has that saved Antonio Conte's job?

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Kane Williamson firmly in control, England having some success,

0:12:56 > 0:13:00including this extraordinary catch from Chris Jordan but that did not

0:13:00 > 0:13:06stop New Zealand reaching an imposing total, 196, the England

0:13:06 > 0:13:11response got off to a pretty good start, wickets falling regularly

0:13:11 > 0:13:15168-8 after 18 overs, keep across that on the BBC sport website, all

0:13:15 > 0:13:17the latest news.

0:13:17 > 0:13:25Chelsea won last night, has that saved Antonio Conte's job?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29It was only last week we were talking about that, the thought of

0:13:29 > 0:13:33him being out of a job after back-to-back defeats, he needed a

0:13:33 > 0:13:38win last night and it was quite a comfortable victory over West Brom

0:13:38 > 0:13:45at Stamford Bridge, 3-0, two goals from Eden Hazard and a goal from

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Victor Moses, Antonio Conte thanked the fans for sticking by him and

0:13:49 > 0:13:53there was a bit of a show of support him last night, singing his name

0:13:53 > 0:13:57throughout the game but there is a feeling that the clock is running

0:13:57 > 0:14:02down to the end of the season, maybe to the end of his Chelsea career,

0:14:02 > 0:14:07who knows? In the meantime, bad result puts them back in the top

0:14:07 > 0:14:11four, a point ahead of Tottenham but I can't imagine this is the end of

0:14:11 > 0:14:16the speculation.Thank you. More from Holly throughout the morning.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Problem gambling is an issue we've covered a number of times

0:14:18 > 0:14:20on this programme -- we know the impact

0:14:20 > 0:14:23can be devastating - not only running up huge debts

0:14:23 > 0:14:24but also disrupting family relationships and careers.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27What we haven't explored before is why so many gamblers are men.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29In fact the figures are particulary stark.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Men are seven and a half times more likely to become problem

0:14:32 > 0:14:33gamblers then women.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Why is that?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Our reporter Chris Hemmings has been trying to find out.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49In the UK it is now thought about 430,000 people can be described as

0:14:49 > 0:14:55problem gamblers. With as many as 2 million at risk of developing an

0:14:55 > 0:14:58addiction. But what is known is who makes up the majority of those with

0:14:58 > 0:15:02a problem. The answer... Men.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11I had problems from 30 years ago financially. I went on to steal from

0:15:11 > 0:15:15my employer and I guess along the way I have lost hundreds of

0:15:15 > 0:15:19thousands of pounds, ended up in prison.I started gambling about

0:15:19 > 0:15:25four years ago when I turned 18, probably lost within the region of

0:15:25 > 0:15:3020- £30,000, wasn't all my money. I think it's had a major effect on the

0:15:30 > 0:15:36last few years of my life.I'm a gambler, it's the way I made, I am a

0:15:36 > 0:15:40gambler, my wife wasn't at all happy when I lost three months income on

0:15:40 > 0:15:44the turn of a card in a poker game but that did not stop me. I changed

0:15:44 > 0:15:48to gambling on property.In the UK there's hardly any difference

0:15:48 > 0:15:52between the sexes when it comes to food gambles each year but when it

0:15:52 > 0:15:57comes to a problem the difference is much starker, in fact if you are a

0:15:57 > 0:16:01man you are seven and a half times more likely than a woman to become a

0:16:01 > 0:16:08problem gambler. Why is that? What is it specifically about men that

0:16:08 > 0:16:14makes us more as a set book to gambling?

0:16:14 > 0:16:16makes us more as a set book to gambling? I'm meeting up with Matt.

0:16:16 > 0:16:17He started gambling

0:16:17 > 0:16:19gambling? I'm meeting up with Matt. He started gambling when he was 18.

0:16:19 > 0:16:25By the age of 22 he had already gambled away nearly £32,000.I

0:16:25 > 0:16:30started to play small bets on the football. Then it sort of got more

0:16:30 > 0:16:36and more out of hand. I started placing larger stakes. And I started

0:16:36 > 0:16:39losing a lot more than I was intending to.What you think it is

0:16:39 > 0:16:45about men in particular that makes gambling so attractive?I think it

0:16:45 > 0:16:49is a lad culture kind of thing. You cannot go to the pub on a Saturday

0:16:49 > 0:16:56afternoon without the football on the telly. Then adverts come on. You

0:16:56 > 0:17:01get the urge to have a bet on the football. I couldn't watch a game of

0:17:01 > 0:17:05football without having a bet on it. Did you find it difficult, as a

0:17:05 > 0:17:13bloke, to come forward and admit you had a problem?I did. I opened up to

0:17:13 > 0:17:18my parents first of all. I wish I had done it sooner than I did,

0:17:18 > 0:17:23because I probably wouldn't have been in the position I got to.Did

0:17:23 > 0:17:28you and your friends never talk to each other?We did, but they

0:17:28 > 0:17:33sometimes were involved in gambling themselves. It was sort of

0:17:33 > 0:17:37embarrassing to open up to them in a way where you think, I'm really

0:17:37 > 0:17:41struggling with this. With all men, you just want to live the high life

0:17:41 > 0:17:45and just want to be able to do whatever you want to do. I think

0:17:45 > 0:17:50with gambling it is in your mindset, making money, but I think in reality

0:17:50 > 0:17:57you just...It just takes you down. What does it feel like when you are

0:17:57 > 0:18:11chasing that when?-- that women. It's not the best feeling. I've been

0:18:11 > 0:18:19very low. It has made my life a misery. -- chasing that win. I feel

0:18:19 > 0:18:23like I've lost the last three years of my life. I don't want it to

0:18:23 > 0:18:28affect my life.This doctor has been helping people with addictions over

0:18:28 > 0:18:3330 years. As a former gambler himself he has a rare insight into

0:18:33 > 0:18:36the mind of a gambler. He started gambling during his time at

0:18:36 > 0:18:40university. But that turned into much higher stakes on property

0:18:40 > 0:18:45speculation.It was inevitable that I would be interested in people who

0:18:45 > 0:18:50have problems like I do. I eventually set up a rehab. Mine was

0:18:50 > 0:18:55the first rehab to treat compulsive gamblers in the UK.What is it that

0:18:55 > 0:19:03draws men into gambling?Men tend to be hedonistic, yeah, let's go for

0:19:03 > 0:19:10it. That tendency seems to be Nacho, you know, real man! We found that in

0:19:10 > 0:19:18the group. -- that tendency seems to be macho. All addictions go

0:19:18 > 0:19:23together, they are all saying the same thing, let's get plastered.

0:19:23 > 0:19:28Those are the people I came across as having particular addictive

0:19:28 > 0:19:32behaviour with gambling.Those people are more likely to be male?

0:19:32 > 0:19:40Yes. Men are greater risk takers than women. They tend to be rather

0:19:40 > 0:19:47proud of it. I used to boast on how much I lost. I lost three months'

0:19:47 > 0:19:51income on the turn of one card in a poker game. This isn't something I

0:19:51 > 0:19:56should be proud of. But I'm a gambler, and a real gambler! It's

0:19:56 > 0:19:59like the fishermen boasting about the one that got away.Where should

0:19:59 > 0:20:04I be looking for answers here? Is this a social thing? Are their

0:20:04 > 0:20:09biological factors at play?There are three causes of any addiction.

0:20:09 > 0:20:14The first is genetics. Some of us have an addictive nature. The second

0:20:14 > 0:20:19is sociological. Its environment. Their Rosamund Bradbury 's which are

0:20:19 > 0:20:25particularly risky. And the third is exposure.Is there a way gambling is

0:20:25 > 0:20:28advertised, its link with sport is that why so many people get caught

0:20:28 > 0:20:34up? -- there are certain environments which are particularly

0:20:34 > 0:20:42risky.I was at a football match. We were pestered constantly, short

0:20:42 > 0:20:46skirted, young, attractive women, saying who is going to score the

0:20:46 > 0:20:50next poll? What will be the half-time score? Who will be

0:20:50 > 0:20:58injured? Who will win? We could bet on anything as part of a norm.

0:20:58 > 0:21:03Gambling and sport go together uncomfortably closely.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10For example it's estimated that British men will watch an average of

0:21:10 > 0:21:14about 20,000 hours of televised sport in their with football by far

0:21:14 > 0:21:17being the most popular. In comparison, women will watch half

0:21:17 > 0:21:23that amount. In October last year, this programme found that almost all

0:21:23 > 0:21:26ad breaks during a football match feature at least one gambling

0:21:26 > 0:21:31advert. In the 25 games we watched there were over 1300 adverts, one in

0:21:31 > 0:21:35five of them were for betting.

0:21:37 > 0:21:42It isn't just young people who get caught up in gambling. You're more

0:21:42 > 0:21:46likely to develop an addiction if you are middle-aged. That is why I

0:21:46 > 0:21:50am in Sheffield to meet David. He was an accountant and he got sent to

0:21:50 > 0:21:53prison after defrauding his company out of more than £70,000 to feed his

0:21:53 > 0:21:59gambling addiction. Overall he lost over half a million.It is a hamster

0:21:59 > 0:22:04wheel once you are in it. You cannot find a way out. You just go faster

0:22:04 > 0:22:10and faster before your legs give in, which is basically when I gave in.

0:22:10 > 0:22:15At one end you don't spend money on things you cannot afford, and at the

0:22:15 > 0:22:21other and you steal money for things you cannot afford. Whether it is

0:22:21 > 0:22:24gambling itself or the depth it creates. I have travelled from one

0:22:24 > 0:22:30end to the other. It was my brain making those decisions. I have to be

0:22:30 > 0:22:36accountable and responsible for those decisions. But what I cannot

0:22:36 > 0:22:41do is say why I made those decisions.What is it about men

0:22:41 > 0:22:44specifically that make us more likely to develop a gambling

0:22:44 > 0:22:49problem, in your opinion?We want to be seen as the breadwinner. The head

0:22:49 > 0:22:57of the family. As getting a great deal of respect. Makes things

0:22:57 > 0:23:03happen... Is there to support the family, as well. To have this

0:23:03 > 0:23:09hanging around you as something that you should have shared with the

0:23:09 > 0:23:15family was a great burden. Having said that, the escapism of

0:23:15 > 0:23:20compulsive gambling made you forget the things that create that burden.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25You are in a different place. I was sent to prison. It came out then.

0:23:25 > 0:23:31And it wasn't me saying it.Why couldn't you own up?Embarrassment,

0:23:31 > 0:23:36Shane, that is the one half of me, the other half kept convincingly

0:23:36 > 0:23:42that I could put it right, gamble, win big, that every thing right. --

0:23:42 > 0:23:50embarrassment and shame. Convincing myself I could handle it.He went to

0:23:50 > 0:23:53help groups, how much of them would have been male immigrants?Almost

0:23:53 > 0:24:05100%. I get people ringing me up. -- how much of them would have been

0:24:05 > 0:24:10male in those groups? People really up and ask for advice. I have never

0:24:10 > 0:24:14thought of the relevance, but it is only males who have called me.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18They both explained how their environment affected their

0:24:18 > 0:24:21decision-making. But some researchers in California think they

0:24:21 > 0:24:24have found a biological difference which might explain why men are more

0:24:24 > 0:24:30likely to chase their losses. Mara was part of that team.There hadn't

0:24:30 > 0:24:35been a lot of research on stress and what it does to decision-making. We

0:24:35 > 0:24:38realised that there is a lot of stress involved in risky decision

0:24:38 > 0:24:45making. We used a common decision-making task about risk

0:24:45 > 0:24:49where people have to blow up balloons on the trial. They see the

0:24:49 > 0:24:53balloon. They are asked you want to inflate it to be larger or cash out

0:24:53 > 0:24:56and get all of the money. You get more money the bigger the balloon,

0:24:56 > 0:25:01but every time you inflate it it could pop and you lose all your

0:25:01 > 0:25:09money. We had people play this game after they were stressed by us

0:25:09 > 0:25:14having them put their hand in ice water. It reliably induces cortisol

0:25:14 > 0:25:17release, which is the primary stress hormone, which influences the brain

0:25:17 > 0:25:25and the body. Cortisol peaks about 20 minutes after people do this ice

0:25:25 > 0:25:30water task. We had them play the game 20 minutes later.Men and

0:25:30 > 0:25:35women?Yes. We were not expecting gender differences. We were

0:25:35 > 0:25:40interested in what stress would do to decision-making. We found that

0:25:40 > 0:25:43the people in the controlled condition who had just put their

0:25:43 > 0:25:49hand in warm water, there were no sex differences. But under stress,

0:25:49 > 0:25:56men and women diverged. Men were significantly more risky. Women were

0:25:56 > 0:25:58more Conservative. They were more likely to cash out their balloons,

0:25:58 > 0:26:06men were more likely to hit and hit until the balloon blows up.Risky

0:26:06 > 0:26:09decisions are often not profitable. Do you see a correlation between

0:26:09 > 0:26:14what you found on the fact there are seemingly more men who are problem

0:26:14 > 0:26:18gamblers?It very well could be. Having a gambling problem can lead

0:26:18 > 0:26:26to stress. It could be a vicious circle. As somebody gets into

0:26:26 > 0:26:31gambling and they might get into trouble and that, that leads to

0:26:31 > 0:26:35stress and what they are looking for as the solution is this risky

0:26:35 > 0:26:38outcome where they can get a big reward. And that really isn't very

0:26:38 > 0:26:47helpful. But that is what is driving their behaviour.In West London,

0:26:47 > 0:26:56Henrietta runs the only NHS clinic specifically set up to support

0:26:56 > 0:27:01problem gamblers.We see patients here who talk about being introduced

0:27:01 > 0:27:04to gambling activities by their fathers. It is normally their

0:27:04 > 0:27:11fathers. And when you dig deeper you find that their sisters, when they

0:27:11 > 0:27:15were children, were not taken by their fathers to the races with the

0:27:15 > 0:27:19same frequency or the same level of emotional involvement.The

0:27:19 > 0:27:23relationship between men and their predisposition for risk taking, how

0:27:23 > 0:27:26does that transpose itself into the number of men with a gambling

0:27:26 > 0:27:32problem?It's possible that men with higher levels of risk taking and

0:27:32 > 0:27:35impulsivity are more attracted to the immediacy of some gambling

0:27:35 > 0:27:45types. For example, the in game betting, or the fast turnover of

0:27:45 > 0:27:49some of the roulette machines.Very little research has been done in

0:27:49 > 0:27:54this area so far.There are areas within the research of pathological

0:27:54 > 0:28:01gambling that are still quite unexplored.What next? Clearly more

0:28:01 > 0:28:04research needs to be done to discover if male brains are

0:28:04 > 0:28:08predisposed to developing a gambling addiction. But we do know that

0:28:08 > 0:28:12environmental factors certainly play a huge part. The gambling commission

0:28:12 > 0:28:16said guidelines are already in place suggesting gambling adverts

0:28:16 > 0:28:19shouldn't appeal to particularly masculine traits. It has now

0:28:19 > 0:28:23launched a consultation on whether or not fines can be used to deter

0:28:23 > 0:28:32gambling companies from using them.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Really keen to hear from you if you've been

0:28:34 > 0:28:37affected by problem gambling.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42To get in touch and the usual ways and share your experiences. This

0:28:42 > 0:28:48e-mail from one woman who does not wish me to use her name. My husband

0:28:48 > 0:28:51gambolled regularly for years and wouldn't tell me he had a problem.

0:28:51 > 0:28:56He used to lie to me and say that he used to spend £2 50. I found out he

0:28:56 > 0:29:00was spending £16 in the betting shop. There doesn't seem like a lot,

0:29:00 > 0:29:03but it was a lot for me, it could have bought our dinner. Gamblers

0:29:03 > 0:29:07don't realise the hardship they cause other family members. We used

0:29:07 > 0:29:12argue all the time. He used to say it was his money and I would say

0:29:12 > 0:29:19yes, but I have to subsidise because of it. We got into debt of over

0:29:19 > 0:29:23£6,000. Gambling causes nothing but argument and in my case poverty.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Martin says a complete lack of personal responsibility and

0:29:26 > 0:29:31selfishness is at the root of problem gamblers, it ruins lives but

0:29:31 > 0:29:34they still persist. Apps have made it easier than ever. But it is still

0:29:34 > 0:29:39a conscious choice. These immature boys should grow up and be men.

0:29:39 > 0:29:44That's interesting, is it a conscious choice? Or have we learned

0:29:44 > 0:29:47that when it comes to alcohol, certain drugs, gambling, that it is

0:29:47 > 0:29:51an addiction, and therefore an illness? Do let me know your own

0:29:51 > 0:29:54experiences.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55Still to come.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56He's a singer, rapper, music producer,

0:29:56 > 0:29:58and a coach on The Voice.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01Now Will I Am is turning his attention to becoming an author.

0:30:01 > 0:30:07We'll speak to him on this programme before 10.

0:30:07 > 0:30:12And as the Charity Commission lodges a statutory inquiry into Oxfam and

0:30:12 > 0:30:17the sex scandal surrounding its workers in Haiti, we'll speak to

0:30:17 > 0:30:22someone who campaigns against prostitution and child trafficking.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Time for the latest news - here's Rachel Schofield

0:30:24 > 0:30:28The BBC News headlines this morning...

0:30:28 > 0:30:30BBC News has learned that the Commonwealth has begun

0:30:30 > 0:30:32considering who might succeed the Queen as the head

0:30:32 > 0:30:33of the organisation.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Member states could choose anyone as the ceremonial leader,

0:30:36 > 0:30:37as the role is not hereditary.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41The BBC has been told 53 member states have established a high level

0:30:41 > 0:30:43group of independent figures to look at the way the Commonwealth

0:30:43 > 0:30:44is governed.

0:30:44 > 0:30:48It will meet for the first time today in London.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50South Africa's ruling party has made an official demand

0:30:50 > 0:30:53for President Jacob Zuma to step down, after a 13-hour meeting

0:30:53 > 0:30:55with leading figures from the African National Congress.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Mr Zuma has been the head of state since 2009,

0:30:57 > 0:31:00but his time in office has been overshadowed by

0:31:00 > 0:31:01corruption allegations.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05It is unclear how he will respond to the formal request to resign.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07A new tool to fight online extremist

0:31:07 > 0:31:09activity is being unveiled by the Home Secretary

0:31:09 > 0:31:10during a trip to the US.

0:31:10 > 0:31:19It aims to detect content and remove it instantly.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Funded with more than half a million pounds

0:31:23 > 0:31:26of government money, the tool draws upon a vast

0:31:26 > 0:31:28database of material posted by the so-called Islamic State.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30The Home Secretary Amber Rudd will meet with tech companies

0:31:30 > 0:31:32to discuss the software - as well as other efforts

0:31:33 > 0:31:36to tackle extremism.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder

0:31:44 > 0:31:48after a six-week-old baby died in Southampton.

0:31:48 > 0:31:49Police were called to a home in Defender Road

0:31:49 > 0:31:52in Peartree on Sunday after reports of a baby boy needing

0:31:52 > 0:31:53medical attention.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55The child was taken to Southampton General Hospital

0:31:55 > 0:31:58where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01An 18-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy were arrested

0:32:01 > 0:32:06and are being held in custody.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10British package holiday companies have started taking

0:32:10 > 0:32:14tourists back to Tunisia - almost three years since a gunman

0:32:14 > 0:32:18opened fire at a beach resort killing 38 people.

0:32:18 > 0:32:2030 British holidaymakers were killed at the resort

0:32:20 > 0:32:23in Sousse in June 2015.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Until last summer, the Foreign Office advised

0:32:25 > 0:32:30against travel to Tunisia due to the high risk of terrorism.

0:32:30 > 0:32:41That's a summary of the latest BBC News.

0:32:42 > 0:32:50Here's some sport now with Holly.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54England have unbeaten in their match against New Zealand. They need to

0:32:54 > 0:33:00win their next game to stand any chance of making the final. A 500

0:33:00 > 0:33:06meter dash for Durie, Team GB's Elise Christie will compete this

0:33:06 > 0:33:10morning, she is tipped to win the first edition medal in the Winter

0:33:10 > 0:33:17Olympics in Pyeongchang. Snowboarding sensation Chloe Kim

0:33:17 > 0:33:21produced a stunning performance to win gold, at just 17 with a score of

0:33:21 > 0:33:2790 point to five footer final one, she is a big hit with the home fans

0:33:27 > 0:33:32because of her South Korean fans. Marcel here should won the men's

0:33:32 > 0:33:38combined event after a thrilling slalom show. He was at the top of

0:33:38 > 0:33:42the leaderboard, we will bring you the results from the 500 metre race

0:33:42 > 0:33:46involving Elise Christie shortly after 10am. See you then. Holly,

0:33:46 > 0:33:50thank you.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52Inflation figures are out - they measure the rate

0:33:52 > 0:33:57in which the price we pay for goods and services is rising.

0:33:57 > 0:34:03Andy Verity is here to explain everything. I am supposed to. This

0:34:03 > 0:34:05is measured by the Office for National Statistics you look at a

0:34:05 > 0:34:09basket of goods and services and track out the prices in the basket,

0:34:09 > 0:34:15your milk, serial, order bus fares, the prices are going up and by how

0:34:15 > 0:34:19much. It's a very important thing for setting policy and interest

0:34:19 > 0:34:24rates which determine the cost of mortgages, the headline news is that

0:34:24 > 0:34:30inflation has stayed the same as it was last time, 3%, at the top end of

0:34:30 > 0:34:33the target range for inflation is supposed to be according to the

0:34:33 > 0:34:38rules laid down the Bank of England to follow. It's supposed to be

0:34:38 > 0:34:42between 1-3%, not higher or lower, 3% is exactly where it is. The

0:34:42 > 0:34:50highest it got recently was 3.1%, it's now subsided just a little, the

0:34:50 > 0:34:55consensus was that it would carry on going down, some people might be a

0:34:55 > 0:34:59little disappointed inflation has not got a little lower but what you

0:34:59 > 0:35:02have is signs that there is less inflationary pressure than used to

0:35:02 > 0:35:08be. The pound got weaker, a lot of what we buy is imported, when the

0:35:08 > 0:35:12pound gets weaker it takes more pounds to buy the dollars or euros

0:35:12 > 0:35:16you need to buy imported goods and that was pushing up prices in pounds

0:35:16 > 0:35:26in the shops. Bad effect some people think may start to fade and this may

0:35:26 > 0:35:33be the first signs. We've had a reduced in the price of raw

0:35:33 > 0:35:36materials, those prices have not been rising as fast. The

0:35:36 > 0:35:41inflationary pressure is easing and it's quite likely inflation will

0:35:41 > 0:35:46continue to subside from now on.But what about average earnings, are

0:35:46 > 0:35:51they still behind where inflation is, our our living standards being

0:35:51 > 0:35:58squeezed?We are still going through a real turn pay cut, unions used to

0:35:58 > 0:36:01get very worked up about this, we've had that for most of the last

0:36:01 > 0:36:07decade, the worst decade or rises in income in 200 years. But carries on

0:36:07 > 0:36:11for the moment, wages not rising as fast as prizes but there is a hope

0:36:11 > 0:36:18that will come to an end in the second half of this year.What does

0:36:18 > 0:36:21this mean potentially for interest rate rises later in the year.The

0:36:21 > 0:36:26last I looked the markets were betting the next interest rate rise

0:36:26 > 0:36:36will be in May, thank you very much.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Next let's turn our attention to what's happening

0:36:38 > 0:36:40in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42The country - which has a population of 79 million

0:36:42 > 0:36:46and is more than 4 times the size of France - was for many years known

0:36:46 > 0:36:49as being at the centre of civil war and corruption -

0:36:49 > 0:36:51which claimed up to six million lives - either directly

0:36:51 > 0:36:57through fighting or malnutrition.

0:36:57 > 0:37:05Now though concerns are mounting again

0:37:05 > 0:37:07about the country's future - thousands of refugees are fleeing

0:37:07 > 0:37:09into neigbouring Uganda in an attempt to escape violence

0:37:09 > 0:37:10between rival ethnic groups.

0:37:10 > 0:37:18Aid workers there say the situation is at "breaking point".

0:37:18 > 0:37:25Let's talk to Ben Shepherd from the Chatham House Africa programme and

0:37:25 > 0:37:34looks at foreign affairs and in a moment we hope to talk to Jan

0:37:34 > 0:37:37Egeland, the Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, we

0:37:37 > 0:37:41are having technical ethical base but we will persist and do our best

0:37:41 > 0:37:47to get hold of him but first, Ben Shepherd, good morning. Why do so

0:37:47 > 0:37:52many people want to lead their own country?The crisis that has erupted

0:37:52 > 0:37:57over the last couple of weeks is due to a re-emergence of fighting

0:37:57 > 0:38:06between two ethnic groups, these groups fought seriously in the late

0:38:06 > 0:38:1190s, early 2000s, with real worries it would turn into genocide, it was

0:38:11 > 0:38:16the site of the first EU peacekeeping mission outside Europe,

0:38:16 > 0:38:24things East around 2006 albeit at the cost of 60,000 lives, fighting

0:38:24 > 0:38:28re-emerging between these groups, frightening people, life is very

0:38:28 > 0:38:33precarious, very few jobs, most people reliant on subsistence

0:38:33 > 0:38:35farming, if they are forced from their land they don't have anywhere

0:38:35 > 0:38:43to go.Why has the fighting erupted? It's very hard to say the specifics

0:38:43 > 0:38:48of this, at the heart is competition overland in a place where most

0:38:48 > 0:38:53people do not have paid employment, land is everything. And these groups

0:38:53 > 0:38:56involved, one is traditionally cattle raising and the other is

0:38:56 > 0:39:01traditionally farming, there has been a long-standing confrontation,

0:39:01 > 0:39:10friction, over who gets to use Butland, there was a rumour this was

0:39:10 > 0:39:13triggered by cattle rustling, the government is incapable of providing

0:39:13 > 0:39:16security for its population and the police and military forces that go

0:39:16 > 0:39:21into places tend to cause more difficulties than they solve much of

0:39:21 > 0:39:29the time.In terms of the levels of violence that are being endured by

0:39:29 > 0:39:33some of the population, some of the stories are horrific.Indeed,

0:39:33 > 0:39:42indeed. Some of the stories coming out are awful. It's one of the most

0:39:42 > 0:39:46difficult things with the Democratic Republic of Congo to get exact

0:39:46 > 0:39:50information, this is going on in rural areas, there are reports of

0:39:50 > 0:39:58hundreds of villagers being burnt, Nasa curse of 30-60 people, it may

0:39:58 > 0:40:01disguise something more serious, it's hard to know until people get

0:40:01 > 0:40:05in on the ground and find out what is going on.Reports of women being

0:40:05 > 0:40:11rates, hopefully we will talk to Jan Egeland, hopefully he will be able

0:40:11 > 0:40:18to corroborate that. It estimated almost 8 million people, 10% of the

0:40:18 > 0:40:21population affected by extreme hunger, 4 million children under the

0:40:21 > 0:40:28age of five at risk of acute malnutrition. -- women suffering

0:40:28 > 0:40:37serious sexual assault.It's the outcome of a furry long process of

0:40:37 > 0:40:44disintegration of the state of Congo which started back in the 60s and

0:40:44 > 0:40:5170s under the cold war. The Congo went through two deeply obstructive

0:40:51 > 0:40:59wars, killing millions of people.I have a heading that way again?The

0:40:59 > 0:41:02current President became President of the age of 29 after the

0:41:02 > 0:41:07assassination of his father in 2001, for the first few years of his role

0:41:07 > 0:41:14it looked as if the area was emerging successfully, the next

0:41:14 > 0:41:20electoral cycle after five years he won those, a lot of questions asked

0:41:20 > 0:41:26about whether those elections were free. His second term in office it

0:41:26 > 0:41:30is like the US, you only get two madrigals, should have come to an

0:41:30 > 0:41:34end on December 2016, it did not happen, he is still there, there

0:41:34 > 0:41:37were promises last year, they did not happen, they have been promised

0:41:37 > 0:41:41again for the end of this year, the date everyone is aiming at is the

0:41:41 > 0:41:4723rd of December, deep suspicions among a lot of people and observers

0:41:47 > 0:41:50as to whether the President wants to give up power.It does not sound

0:41:50 > 0:41:52like it.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54Let's talk now to Jan Egeland who arrived

0:41:54 > 0:41:56in the Democratic Republic of the Congo yesterday

0:41:56 > 0:42:05and is the Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council

0:42:05 > 0:42:10Hello and thank you for talking to us. Can you hear me OK? Definitely

0:42:10 > 0:42:16not. There is no phone line. I'm sorry about that. He was hopefully

0:42:16 > 0:42:20going to give you an insight into the scale of the movement of people,

0:42:20 > 0:42:25the displacement of people but not to worry. Thank you so much. I am

0:42:25 > 0:42:33told he is there, I am going to try again. Yes, can you hear me? Thank

0:42:33 > 0:42:38you so much for being so patient. Thank you so much for talking to our

0:42:38 > 0:42:41British audience. I wonder if you could give us an insight into what

0:42:41 > 0:42:45is going on, what you have witnessed, having just arrived

0:42:45 > 0:42:56there?I am now in one of the epicentre is of this horrific war on

0:42:56 > 0:43:01the civilian population in the Congo. This is in the south-east of

0:43:01 > 0:43:10the Congo. There are 400,000 displaced people here, only the last

0:43:10 > 0:43:1612 months, today I met with five children, their husband was killed

0:43:16 > 0:43:23in the communal violence by one of the armed groups, they desperately

0:43:23 > 0:43:31fled to camps, we are overwhelmed because there are very few relief

0:43:31 > 0:43:38organisations able to respond and we are totally underfunded. This is a

0:43:38 > 0:43:43forgotten crisis, this is one of the worst crises on earth now and nobody

0:43:43 > 0:43:49seems to focus on it really. It is underfunded, it is under resourced

0:43:49 > 0:43:54in all possible ways.One of the worst crises on earth, that is quite

0:43:54 > 0:44:08a statement. Why aren't countries doing more?

0:44:14 > 0:44:18Can you hear me still?I can, please repeat. You said it was one of the

0:44:18 > 0:44:23worst crises on earth, that is quite a statement, why isn't the

0:44:23 > 0:44:36international community doing more? That is my main question also, why

0:44:36 > 0:44:40are we not accepting that women and children should have the same kind

0:44:40 > 0:44:46of protection and basic assistance as we try to deliver everything and

0:44:46 > 0:44:50everywhere else in the world? I think it's like people are used to

0:44:50 > 0:44:56it being horrific in the Congo and thought it could not get worse.

0:44:56 > 0:45:03Well, it got twice as bad in 2017 as it was before. Actually the last two

0:45:03 > 0:45:11things, 16 and 17, it has become the worst place, one of the worst places

0:45:11 > 0:45:14on the planet for in forced displacement, people having to flee

0:45:14 > 0:45:18for their lives, really, and people think it is impossible to help, but

0:45:18 > 0:45:23it is not true. We are here, we need resources, we can respond, we are

0:45:23 > 0:45:31willing through courageous workers to expand relief but then we need a

0:45:31 > 0:45:36donor conference, we need more donors, attention, we also need a

0:45:36 > 0:45:40stronger partnership with the United Nations.Thank you so much for your

0:45:40 > 0:45:48time. Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council who

0:45:48 > 0:45:51arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo yesterday and you heard

0:45:51 > 0:45:59from Ben Shepherd from the African programme at Chatham House.

0:45:59 > 0:46:03Oxfam is facing an enquiry into the sex scandal involving its workers in

0:46:03 > 0:46:06Haiti. We'll hear from one woman who worked in the country in the

0:46:06 > 0:46:14aftermath of the earthquake there. Next, we will

0:46:14 > 0:46:17hear from...

0:46:17 > 0:46:21Will I Am who is best known for his work with the Black Eyed

0:46:21 > 0:46:24Peas and being a compassionate coach on The Voice and this morning

0:46:24 > 0:46:26in an extended interview he tells us his real passion is education

0:46:26 > 0:46:28and finding leaders of the future.

0:46:28 > 0:46:31The singer also delivers his view on Donald Trump, Brexit and tells us

0:46:31 > 0:46:32why he loves Britain so much.

0:46:32 > 0:46:36But we start with robots - and why he's written a book about AI.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38He was joined by his co-author Brian Johnson.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41I wanted to write a book, because I like the ability to build

0:46:41 > 0:46:47worlds and go deep and you know when Brian was telling me the book

0:46:47 > 0:46:49he wrote, it inspired me.

0:46:49 > 0:46:52So I asked him if he wanted to collaborate and we did that.

0:46:52 > 0:46:55Brian, tell us what people can expect from the book.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58So it is a young adult model.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00It's a futuristic action adventure that centres around

0:47:00 > 0:47:06a young female engineer.

0:47:06 > 0:47:11She builds robots and finds herself in the centre of this centuries long

0:47:11 > 0:47:13battle between wizards and robots and she's the key

0:47:13 > 0:47:15to saving the world.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18Right.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20You are fascinated by robots, by artificial intelligence

0:47:20 > 0:47:21is my understanding.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23Why?

0:47:23 > 0:47:30Well, I started about ten years ago with the school that I have

0:47:30 > 0:47:34in the ghetto that I'm from.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37I built an after school programme where we teach our kids computer

0:47:37 > 0:47:39science, robotics and engineering and I see how it's changing not

0:47:39 > 0:47:41only the lives of these kids, but our community,

0:47:41 > 0:47:44our community's changing.

0:47:44 > 0:47:53The graduation rates are going up and our kids are going to school,

0:47:53 > 0:47:57four year colleges for engineering and robotics and,

0:47:57 > 0:48:00you know, so here's a new form of technology that can help

0:48:00 > 0:48:01solve people's problems, when they don't have

0:48:01 > 0:48:04to wait for somebody to solve their problems for them.

0:48:04 > 0:48:06So artificial intelligence is like electricity and light for this

0:48:06 > 0:48:07fourth industrial revolution.

0:48:07 > 0:48:10So it's just a means to solve problems, it's a tool.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12So that to me is exciting to encourage and enable

0:48:12 > 0:48:14and empower people.

0:48:14 > 0:48:18But you know that lots of people think actually the progress of this

0:48:18 > 0:48:21technology is actually going to take people's jobs away from them,

0:48:21 > 0:48:26what do you say to these critics?

0:48:26 > 0:48:28I say the same thing happened in 1918, the same fears

0:48:28 > 0:48:30with the candlestick makers thought that lights were going

0:48:30 > 0:48:34to take their jobs.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36Folks that make carriages thought that cars were

0:48:36 > 0:48:37going to take their jobs.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40In actuality it created more jobs and the jobs

0:48:40 > 0:48:46are going to come from folks that are using the technology

0:48:46 > 0:48:50and imagine a world that the folks are that

0:48:50 > 0:48:52are responsible for jobs today can't imagine.

0:48:52 > 0:48:56It's you know a whole new era and we have been through these types

0:48:56 > 0:48:57of changes in the past.

0:48:57 > 0:48:59So there's nothing to be frightened of?

0:48:59 > 0:49:01The only thing to be frightened of is how governments

0:49:01 > 0:49:02are not educating people.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04That is the thing to be concerned about.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07You could say, oh, wow, this technology is going to take

0:49:07 > 0:49:08jobs away, meanwhile we're not educating the youth.

0:49:08 > 0:49:13I think we're worried about the wrong thing actually.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15Actually the people need to remember that the technology

0:49:15 > 0:49:16doesn't get to decide.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19People get to decide.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21Artificial intelligence is built by people.

0:49:21 > 0:49:26So, just like Will said, we know this is coming,

0:49:26 > 0:49:29we know this change is coming, so let's harness it and use it

0:49:29 > 0:49:32for good, but don't let that future happen to you -

0:49:32 > 0:49:34take action and do something about it.

0:49:34 > 0:49:37You you have launched a smart watch and a couple of other gizmos,

0:49:37 > 0:49:39if you don't mind me calling that.

0:49:39 > 0:49:42Why is this an area you want to venture in, are you thinking,

0:49:42 > 0:49:49I'm going to compete with Samsung and Apple in the future?

0:49:49 > 0:49:51Actually I don't see it as competing, I see it

0:49:51 > 0:49:54as the why to the what.

0:49:54 > 0:50:00What I'm doing is, I started a company, five years ago

0:50:00 > 0:50:04we had 300 employees, we build artificial intelligence

0:50:04 > 0:50:08voice operating systems that you know Deutsche Telecom's coined

0:50:08 > 0:50:10more efficient than IBM Watson, that's why we are in

0:50:10 > 0:50:11the market in Austria.

0:50:11 > 0:50:14So that's a check mark of success.

0:50:14 > 0:50:20More importantly, it is the why - why am I doing that?

0:50:20 > 0:50:23Because kids in the inner cities have no one to model themselves

0:50:23 > 0:50:25after around a course of science technology, engineering

0:50:25 > 0:50:26and mathematics.

0:50:26 > 0:50:33So am I going to wait for somebody else to do that?

0:50:33 > 0:50:36Or am I going to make that sacrifice and, you know,

0:50:36 > 0:50:40risk failing in front of the whole entire world in order to show kids

0:50:40 > 0:50:43that this is the path forward?

0:50:43 > 0:50:46If I can't do music while I tell them to do science,

0:50:46 > 0:50:48technology and mathematics, that's hypocritical.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51For us as you know adults to wave one hand and say, you know...

0:50:51 > 0:50:53You shouldn't do that, while we don't provide

0:50:53 > 0:50:55the opportunities for kids to move forward, then we can't

0:50:55 > 0:50:57be hypocritical.

0:50:57 > 0:51:02I don't want to talk out of both sides of my mouth.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05Do you think you're more influential as somebody who is passionate

0:51:05 > 0:51:08about technology than as a musician or as a writer or as

0:51:08 > 0:51:11a talent show judge?

0:51:11 > 0:51:15So here's the conductor, a conductor has violins,

0:51:15 > 0:51:25a piano, rhythm section, brass and he's conducting an orchestra.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31Every single piece of the pie is, you know, important in what I do.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33Music is music and without technology, music wouldn't

0:51:33 > 0:51:34be what it is today.

0:51:34 > 0:51:39So if I'm up there judging kids, not even judging,

0:51:39 > 0:51:42coaching and encouraging, if folks want to make music

0:51:42 > 0:51:43their path, I'll do that.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46If folks are confused and don't feel the passion towards music,

0:51:46 > 0:51:49but are interested in science, I'm going to do that as well.

0:51:49 > 0:51:55I'm going to do every single area to encourage kids to be excellent.

0:51:55 > 0:51:58There is enough time in the day to be able

0:51:58 > 0:52:01to do both, to do all, here, here is an example of it.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03Just do one thing, I don't know.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05Do you just want to be a television host?

0:52:05 > 0:52:06No.

0:52:06 > 0:52:10There we go!

0:52:10 > 0:52:13You are, I'm going to ask you about your television work,

0:52:13 > 0:52:15because you are a compassionate judge.

0:52:15 > 0:52:19You're never rude, you always manage to find the positive in anyone.

0:52:19 > 0:52:22I don't know if you watched any of the last series

0:52:22 > 0:52:25of the X Factor, but the judges were much, much kinder.

0:52:25 > 0:52:30Are they copying you?

0:52:30 > 0:52:33I just, no, they're not copying, it is just the day and age we live

0:52:33 > 0:52:35in with cyberbullying, bombardment of media -

0:52:35 > 0:52:38everything is just harsh, harsh, harsh.

0:52:38 > 0:52:44There's wars, there's you know so much like...

0:52:44 > 0:52:47You know spiritual warfare happening that you have seen this cry

0:52:47 > 0:52:50out of people's hearts and trying their best

0:52:50 > 0:52:53to encourage people to be better versions of themselves.

0:52:53 > 0:52:54I hope it continues.

0:52:54 > 0:52:55So society's changing?

0:52:55 > 0:52:58I hope so.

0:52:58 > 0:53:01I hope so.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04And I pray for that.

0:53:04 > 0:53:09Who wants to live in a cruel world?

0:53:09 > 0:53:14For likes and hearts and followers.

0:53:14 > 0:53:16Bearing that in mind then, you have really taken

0:53:16 > 0:53:19Britain to your heart, you love London, what do you think

0:53:19 > 0:53:22of the sort of the public discourse in this country generally,

0:53:22 > 0:53:30particularly around Brexit for example?

0:53:30 > 0:53:33I love this country.

0:53:33 > 0:53:43And the whole world loves this country.

0:53:45 > 0:53:48And as the world's, you know, we have this global village,

0:53:48 > 0:53:53the status quo, the powers that be, folks that are comfortable the way

0:53:53 > 0:54:01they live their lives, you know, are concerned.

0:54:01 > 0:54:03Is their life going to be altered when people are coming in?

0:54:03 > 0:54:05You start to have a different perspective,

0:54:05 > 0:54:10not everything is harmful.

0:54:10 > 0:54:13And the thing like I said that we need to be focused

0:54:13 > 0:54:15on is education, how do we make sure our kids are

0:54:15 > 0:54:16leaders of tomorrow?

0:54:16 > 0:54:20How do we make sure our country - whether it's America

0:54:20 > 0:54:30or, you know, the UK - are leading?

0:54:30 > 0:54:33And you're leading when you invite.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35You're leading when people are a part of it.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37You know, Singapore is...

0:54:37 > 0:54:43Less than 60 years old actually and I don't know, I could live there.

0:54:43 > 0:54:45There's places in China, like, it's inviting and it's

0:54:45 > 0:54:50becoming more inviting.

0:54:50 > 0:54:53We might wake up 20 years from now and nobody wants to come to the UK.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Would you ever move to Britain?

0:54:55 > 0:54:59Yeah, I'm practically here every year, six months a year.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01But I'm telling you, for you out there, China's

0:55:01 > 0:55:02looking really nice now.

0:55:02 > 0:55:07Hong Kong's looking really amazing, Singapore's looking really

0:55:07 > 0:55:09fresh and they're, like, hey, come here and work with us.

0:55:09 > 0:55:12As a matter of fact, this camera here that we are filming

0:55:12 > 0:55:13on is made in China.

0:55:13 > 0:55:16The iPhone, everything that we have on us is made over there.

0:55:16 > 0:55:22It's looking really fresh.

0:55:22 > 0:55:30There are down sides, though, people would say of China,

0:55:30 > 0:55:31human rights abuses, lack of democracy, stuff

0:55:31 > 0:55:33that perhaps we take for granted.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35That is the past, I would say come out forward.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37When you're moving forward and you're opening your doors

0:55:37 > 0:55:40and borders, you're going to change how you do things,

0:55:40 > 0:55:42when you close your doors, you go back to yesterday.

0:55:42 > 0:55:44I'm not saying, I'm not a politician.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46No.

0:55:46 > 0:55:50But I love this country and want the things that I love to be able

0:55:50 > 0:55:52to sustain themselves and have a place tomorrow.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54You will know that politicians that voted to leave are saying,

0:55:54 > 0:55:57we're not closing our doors, what we are choosing to do

0:55:57 > 0:55:58is actually control immigration?

0:55:58 > 0:56:05Yeah, that's important, while you do that, let's educate the youth.

0:56:05 > 0:56:08Before the US presidential election you said, "Trump would be

0:56:08 > 0:56:10a disaster for America, but for the world as well."

0:56:10 > 0:56:13What do you think of that prediction now?

0:56:13 > 0:56:20Well, this is heavy.

0:56:20 > 0:56:23We have got this book out about wizards and robots!

0:56:23 > 0:56:25I know, but you must remember saying that!

0:56:25 > 0:56:29It's a big world and it's complicated.

0:56:29 > 0:56:36And technology's moving fast.

0:56:36 > 0:56:39And if you're leading the world, you have got to think

0:56:39 > 0:56:41about everyone, including your own.

0:56:41 > 0:56:42More so your own.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44I don't see education changing in America.

0:56:44 > 0:56:48I didn't see it...

0:56:48 > 0:56:53I didn't see it change for in a long time.

0:56:53 > 0:56:56I don't know the answers to what you're asking me.

0:56:56 > 0:56:57I know the heart.

0:56:57 > 0:56:59I know how I feel.

0:56:59 > 0:57:05Do you feel he has been a disaster for America so far?

0:57:05 > 0:57:11I know how I feel when I travel when I see how people react to it.

0:57:11 > 0:57:16I see how, I see people and...

0:57:16 > 0:57:22How they feel about America right now because of it.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25How they feel about America right now because of it.

0:57:30 > 0:57:33And how they question, how can you have a leader like that?

0:57:36 > 0:57:40Or you guys are idiots for...

0:57:40 > 0:57:42Putting up with something like that, the inhumane ways that he looks

0:57:42 > 0:57:45at females and how can you tolerate you know Nazism and, yeah,

0:57:45 > 0:57:47there is a lot of stuff.

0:57:47 > 0:57:49But like I said, that is a heavy question.

0:57:49 > 0:57:50That's a long conversation.

0:57:50 > 0:57:53But what can you do about it other than just focussing

0:57:53 > 0:57:55on your community that you come from and make sure that

0:57:55 > 0:57:59your community's OK?

0:57:59 > 0:58:03If we all do a little bit of that, everything's going to be all right

0:58:03 > 0:58:06and you know if you do that, Trump will take credit for it.

0:58:06 > 0:58:07Which is cool.

0:58:07 > 0:58:08I don't care.

0:58:08 > 0:58:10I just want to see awesome results, right?

0:58:10 > 0:58:11OK.

0:58:11 > 0:58:14I want to ask you finally if I may about the state

0:58:14 > 0:58:16of the music industry.

0:58:16 > 0:58:21We have had the Me Too campaign, the Time's Up campaign that's

0:58:21 > 0:58:24focused on Hollywood and acting, do you think sexism

0:58:24 > 0:58:26and inappropriate behaviour is as prolific in the music industry

0:58:26 > 0:58:36towards women and some men?

0:58:40 > 0:58:43Entertainment as a whole.

0:58:43 > 0:58:46After this break, you're going to see

0:58:46 > 0:58:48a commercial and the commercial you're going to see

0:58:48 > 0:58:49throughout the day is sexist.

0:58:49 > 0:58:50They see women as sex objects.

0:58:50 > 0:58:52It's entertainment as a whole.

0:58:52 > 0:58:56You're going to watch the Victoria Secrets awards

0:58:56 > 0:59:01at the same time as you talk about you know women empowerment.

0:59:01 > 0:59:02It is hypocritical.

0:59:02 > 0:59:08Every way you look at it.

0:59:08 > 0:59:12I think it's a society as a whole that we have to reflect on.

0:59:12 > 0:59:13It is not just music.

0:59:13 > 0:59:14It's not Hollywood.

0:59:14 > 0:59:15It is even in tech.

0:59:15 > 0:59:19It is even in politics.

0:59:19 > 0:59:22What is crazy is it is in politics and there is politicians that

0:59:22 > 0:59:24still stay in their seats.

0:59:24 > 0:59:25It's in...

0:59:25 > 0:59:26It's in religion.

0:59:26 > 0:59:30It's what you know...

0:59:30 > 0:59:35The unthinkable things happen to little boys in religion.

0:59:35 > 0:59:45It is everywhere actually.

0:59:45 > 0:59:47Humanity has issues actually and it's a hot topic

0:59:47 > 0:59:48right now for the news.

0:59:48 > 0:59:54We could talk about it and sell some commercials after and that is kind

0:59:54 > 0:59:57of weird to me actually if you think about it, that is why I say

0:59:57 > 0:59:59education, education, education, because the solution

0:59:59 > 1:00:01to all our problems is a well educated society.

1:00:01 > 1:00:03OK.

1:00:03 > 1:00:05Musically, what are you doing next?

1:00:05 > 1:00:06Musically is an app.

1:00:06 > 1:00:09Actually it isn't!

1:00:09 > 1:00:16My youngest son uses it and loves it.

1:00:16 > 1:00:22Black Eyed Peas, we just released a virtual reality platform with...

1:00:22 > 1:00:26occulists and so virtual reality is an amazing platform for folks

1:00:26 > 1:00:30to create in and create these experiences and these worlds.

1:00:30 > 1:00:34We scored it with Hans Zimmer and we have an alternative

1:00:34 > 1:00:41reality book with Marvel, the same story told.

1:00:41 > 1:00:47So that's what we do with Black Eyed Peas.

1:00:47 > 1:00:49I think right now's the time to invent,

1:00:49 > 1:00:53there is awesome tools and AI is an amazing tool as well and this

1:00:53 > 1:00:55book with the robots is about that - robotics, artificial intelligence

1:00:55 > 1:00:59and I'm so proud of this thing, it took six years to make.

1:00:59 > 1:01:09Brian and I were working at Intel at the time.

1:01:09 > 1:01:16This guy blows my mind with his way of looking at the world, projecting

1:01:16 > 1:01:21what might happen based on probability, when we were in an

1:01:21 > 1:01:27think-tank at Intel ad was super inspired about all things tomorrow

1:01:27 > 1:01:31and concerned about all things tomorrow, the investment for

1:01:31 > 1:01:35artificial intelligence at ways the investment but human intelligence

1:01:35 > 1:01:40and that brought concerns, those concerns were, we wrap them around

1:01:40 > 1:01:46fantasy and build this amazing world and amazing story, check it out its

1:01:46 > 1:01:51number ten right now in all books on Amazon which is really great. We

1:01:51 > 1:01:56could use your help to get it going, get it to the top of the charts.You

1:03:47 > 1:03:51of Scotland, lower levels, turning to rain, fairly cloudy, damp and

1:03:51 > 1:03:54windy, writer in the west later, temperatures reaching double

1:03:54 > 1:03:54figures.

1:04:00 > 1:04:01Thank you.

1:04:01 > 1:04:02Thank you.

1:04:02 > 1:04:04Hello, it's Tuesday, it's 10 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire...

1:04:04 > 1:04:05Our top story today...

1:04:15 > 1:04:17to have a gambling problem as a man.

1:04:17 > 1:04:20This man has lost millions of pounds in gambling

1:04:20 > 1:04:25Of course I used to boast on how much I lost, I lost three months

1:04:25 > 1:04:28income on the turn of a card in a poker game. This is not something I

1:04:28 > 1:04:31should be proud of.

1:04:31 > 1:04:33We'll be speaking to a former addict.

1:04:33 > 1:04:36If it's a problem for you - do get in touch.

1:04:36 > 1:04:38Plus - should he stay or should he go.

1:04:40 > 1:04:45Zuma by his own party this morning.

1:04:45 > 1:04:53It's very hard to find real supporters of Jacob Zuma even in his

1:04:53 > 1:04:55former stronghold, to find supporters now.

1:04:55 > 1:04:58We'll look at a legacy of allegations of corruption.

1:05:01 > 1:05:02Good morning.

1:05:02 > 1:05:04Here's Rachel Schofield in the BBC Newsroom

1:05:04 > 1:05:06with a summary of todays news.

1:05:38 > 1:05:40The rate, reported by the Office

1:05:40 > 1:05:42for National Statistics, is close to the six-year high

1:05:42 > 1:05:52of 3.1% set in November.

1:05:54 > 1:06:00Most economists were expecting a small fall to 2.9%.

1:06:02 > 1:06:05for President Jacob Zuma to step down, after a 13-hour meeting

1:06:07 > 1:06:09Mr Zuma has been the head of state since 2009,

1:06:09 > 1:06:11but his time in office has been overshadowed by

1:06:11 > 1:06:12corruption allegations.

1:06:28 > 1:06:30Funded with more than half a million pounds

1:06:30 > 1:06:32of government money, the tool draws upon a vast

1:06:32 > 1:06:34database of material posted by the so-called Islamic State.

1:07:25 > 1:07:31from Robotics company Boston Dynamics

1:07:32 > 1:07:36Have a look at this any moment now. It's coming...

1:08:11 > 1:08:17I find that rather sinister, I don't know why. Weird! The robots are

1:08:17 > 1:08:24Illya going to take over the world, quite a few of you pointing out the

1:08:24 > 1:08:31similarity to that dog and the one in the episode of black murder. --

1:08:31 > 1:08:33robots are really going to take over the world.

1:08:33 > 1:08:39Here's some sport now with Holly.

1:08:39 > 1:08:45Elise Christie has been competing in short track speed skating, the

1:08:45 > 1:08:48quarterfinal, David Ornstein is our correspondent in Pyeongchang. A

1:08:48 > 1:08:55great result, we've then watching it, tell us what happened.Good news

1:08:55 > 1:09:00for Team GB and Elise Christie, safely through to the semifinals of

1:09:00 > 1:09:04the 500 metre short track speed skating. This was the first event

1:09:04 > 1:09:10she raced in in Sochi four years ago and that was the start of the

1:09:10 > 1:09:16disaster, she won silver in the 500 metres but later disqualified, the

1:09:16 > 1:09:20first of three disqualifications in all her events, she ended up

1:09:20 > 1:09:24receiving death threats from South Koreans having taken up one of their

1:09:24 > 1:09:27athletes and we hear that thing you Olympic record for her in the

1:09:27 > 1:09:31quarterfinal, she did not lead from the front but got herself out top

1:09:31 > 1:09:36and won comfortably in a new Olympic record. She's the world

1:09:36 > 1:09:40record-holder espied this is not being her favourite event, but as

1:09:40 > 1:09:46the 1000 metres, her final event and she races in the 1500 bidders before

1:09:46 > 1:09:54then. The semifinal will be at 11am UK time and the final just after 12

1:09:54 > 1:09:59noon UK time, looking good for Elise Christie and Team GB as they search

1:09:59 > 1:10:02for the first gold medal at these Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the

1:10:02 > 1:10:08first medal at all, I should say. Absolutely, David, she looks well on

1:10:08 > 1:10:12track, we will keep across that and thank you for the moment. As David

1:10:12 > 1:10:19said shortly after 11am the semifinals. England's up of reaching

1:10:19 > 1:10:23the G20 tri- Nations final and by a thread after they were beaten by New

1:10:23 > 1:10:29Zealand in Wellington. New Zealand put into bat, Martyn Williams and

1:10:29 > 1:10:35Kane Williamson in control. Regular wickets saw England fall short of

1:10:35 > 1:10:41the New Zealand total of 196. It means they lost all three in the

1:10:41 > 1:10:44tri- series and need Australia to beat New Zealand in their next game

1:10:44 > 1:10:50to stand any chance of making the final. Antonio Conte has praised the

1:10:50 > 1:10:56club's fans for sticking by him after a comfortable win over West

1:10:56 > 1:11:00Brom last night. Eden Hazard scored twice in the 3-0 victory at Stamford

1:11:00 > 1:11:04Bridge, a resort that eases the pressure on the manager after two

1:11:04 > 1:11:09successive losses to Bournemouth and Watford, putting them back in the

1:11:09 > 1:11:13top four, a point above Tottenham. It has all been happening Victoria,

1:11:13 > 1:11:20we will keep across the action from Pyeongchang online and on BBC Radio

1:11:20 > 1:11:245 Live, and we will keep you abreast of Elise Christie's progress as she

1:11:24 > 1:11:31continues after 11am.Thank you. Good morning, it's Tuesday morning,

1:11:31 > 1:11:32welcome to the programme.

1:11:32 > 1:11:34The Commonwealth has secretly begun considering who might succeed

1:11:34 > 1:11:36the Queen as its head.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38The role isn't hereditary and so won't automatically pass

1:11:38 > 1:11:40to the Prince of Wales on the Queen's death.

1:11:40 > 1:11:43At the moment there is no formal process for deciding her successor

1:11:43 > 1:11:45and that's what is being discussed right now.

1:11:45 > 1:11:48As you'd expect it's highly sensitive and shrouded in secrecy.

1:11:48 > 1:11:50Joining me now is Dr Elena Woodacre who is a senior

1:11:50 > 1:11:58lecturer in Modern European History, at Winchester University

1:11:58 > 1:12:02Hello to you and tell our audience what is going on and five.Good

1:12:02 > 1:12:06morning, Victoria. There's been a lot of speculation, the Queen

1:12:06 > 1:12:09getting older, increasing discussion about the future of the monarchy and

1:12:09 > 1:12:14in this case the future of the Commonwealth. I think it's important

1:12:14 > 1:12:18to recognise obviously this is speculation, we don't know exactly

1:12:18 > 1:12:21what they are discussing but in some ways it is only ride the

1:12:21 > 1:12:25Commonwealth considers its future generally. I think we can see the

1:12:25 > 1:12:28Queen has been for some time preparing Prince Charles for this

1:12:28 > 1:12:33role he has been really engaged with visits to the Commonwealth,

1:12:33 > 1:12:35particularly from 97 onwards, visited over body Commonwealth

1:12:35 > 1:12:40countries and he's been very clear he believes the Commonwealth is a

1:12:40 > 1:12:46force for the future, particularly solving global issues and problems.

1:12:46 > 1:12:51I think that trajectory has been set to some extent but obviously it's up

1:12:51 > 1:12:55to the Commonwealth to decide what happens going forward. As you

1:12:55 > 1:12:58rightly noted Charles position as the head of the Commonwealth is not

1:12:58 > 1:13:04tied to his position as the successor to the Crown.Why isn't it

1:13:04 > 1:13:08an hereditary position?I think it's because of the nature of the

1:13:08 > 1:13:13Commonwealth, the Commonwealth was set up in 1949, it has changed over

1:13:13 > 1:13:18time, it has grown but obviously it's something very much tied to,

1:13:18 > 1:13:22the timing of when it was created, it was dominated either Queen's rain

1:13:22 > 1:13:27and in many ways we have mentally associated the two is being linked

1:13:27 > 1:13:32and they are to some extent. But strictly speaking, the two rules are

1:13:32 > 1:13:40separate.2.4 billion people live in Commonwealth countries, many

1:13:40 > 1:13:43speaking English, could member states choose absolutely anyone as

1:13:43 > 1:13:47there a ceremonial leader?I think the absolutely anyone is probably

1:13:47 > 1:13:54going a bit far. I think likely it will be someone from from a major

1:13:54 > 1:13:58Commonwealth nations, perhaps a former President or Prime Minister,

1:13:58 > 1:14:04one of the key nations but I think it very likely that Prince Charles.

1:14:04 > 1:14:08Into this role. It's not a dead cert but again we can see that the Queen

1:14:08 > 1:14:11and Prince Charles have the very much preparing him for that position

1:14:11 > 1:14:16and I think the Commonwealth certainly is very familiar with

1:14:16 > 1:14:22Prince Charles because of this deep engagement with them, his attendance

1:14:22 > 1:14:25at Commonwealth meetings, representing the Queen before in

1:14:25 > 1:14:292013, I think it feels like a natural progression stepping into

1:14:29 > 1:14:38the role but in theory they could take almost anyone.Thank you very

1:14:38 > 1:14:45much, almost anyone.Thank you for having me.

1:14:45 > 1:14:47Jacob Zuma has been president of South Africa for nine years.

1:14:47 > 1:14:50And according to his critics - nine years of corruption that has

1:14:50 > 1:14:53seen the poorest grow poorer and the ruling elite prosper.

1:14:53 > 1:14:55Overnight the party that put him in power finally decided

1:14:55 > 1:14:58that his reign is over and voted to formally ask him to resign -

1:14:59 > 1:15:00known as to "recall" him.

1:15:00 > 1:15:02The President is still refusing to go and if he hasn't

1:15:02 > 1:15:06changed his mind by next Thursday he will be forced out by a vote

1:15:06 > 1:15:12in the South African parliament.

1:15:12 > 1:15:19We can speak now to Toby Shapshak a Journalist and writer

1:15:19 > 1:15:25who has been a fierce critic of Jacob Zuma.

1:15:25 > 1:15:30It would seem he is a survivor, but do you think this is definitely get?

1:15:30 > 1:15:36Definitely. We have lived through nine very lean years of a corrupt

1:15:36 > 1:15:42era. Remember, he was facing 783 charges of fraud corruption and

1:15:42 > 1:15:47racketeering before he became president. And through nifty work he

1:15:47 > 1:15:50managed to get those charges thrown out. They have since been reinstated

1:15:50 > 1:15:54by the highest court in the land. The same constitutional court found

1:15:54 > 1:16:03him not -- found him guilty of breaking the constitution. He was

1:16:03 > 1:16:07deeply flawed before he became president. He was never able to

1:16:07 > 1:16:11balance his cheque-book. His personal financial adviser was found

1:16:11 > 1:16:16guilty of corruption. He was meant to be charged with these 783 counts.

1:16:16 > 1:16:22Through a very long legal process, the opposition parties and a bunch

1:16:22 > 1:16:27of other civic organisations have had these charges reinstated. In the

1:16:27 > 1:16:33meantime even more Das to the stories of corruption have come up.

1:16:33 > 1:16:41-- even more stories of corruption have come up. There is a family that

1:16:41 > 1:16:44has interesting business, mining, TV stations, newspapers, they've been

1:16:44 > 1:16:48implicated in a range of what we call state capture, which is

1:16:48 > 1:16:53corruption. Jacob Zuma is extremely tarnished. What has happened is that

1:16:53 > 1:16:59every five years the African National Congress, the ruling party,

1:16:59 > 1:17:05have their internal meetings and conferences. They have elected a new

1:17:05 > 1:17:12leader, their own president, and he has given Jacob Zuma the ultimatum

1:17:12 > 1:17:19that he needs to resign or they will recall him. The problem with the

1:17:19 > 1:17:23recall is that Jacob Zuma, as soon as he came into power, he recalled

1:17:23 > 1:17:30his predecessor. He doesn't want to be seen -- South Africa doesn't be

1:17:30 > 1:17:33seen to recall all of their past presidents, but that's the case.

1:17:33 > 1:17:37Jacob Zuma is a profoundly guilty man. The evidence is in black and

1:17:37 > 1:17:43white.This hanging on, which he is currently doing, is he,

1:17:43 > 1:17:46behind-the-scenes, trying to come up with some sort of deal so he faces

1:17:46 > 1:17:50fewer charges, no charges, what?He has been negotiating for a variety

1:17:50 > 1:17:57of deals. None of which we understand he will be offered. He

1:17:57 > 1:18:01has been asking for an amnesty agreement. In South Africa you

1:18:01 > 1:18:07cannot get one until you have committed a crime. There is a real

1:18:07 > 1:18:11baying for his blood. He's been at the centre of all of this corruption

1:18:11 > 1:18:15and state capture and somebody want to see -- and everybody was to see

1:18:15 > 1:18:21somebody charged. But he would need a witness and he would turn on his

1:18:21 > 1:18:26son. There's a lot going on in the background. But it is almost

1:18:26 > 1:18:30certain. The decision we understand from the sources within the ANC is

1:18:30 > 1:18:34that he has been told to step down. In Jacob Zuma's mind he's done

1:18:34 > 1:18:40nothing wrong, he's behaved with impunity, this isn't out of

1:18:40 > 1:18:44character, he is just completely failed to see that the tie is to him

1:18:44 > 1:18:55and his time is over.Thanks very much for talking to us.

1:18:55 > 1:19:01Still to come:

1:19:01 > 1:19:02Oxfam is facing a statutory

1:19:02 > 1:19:04inquiry in the sex scandal involving its workers in Haiti.

1:19:04 > 1:19:07We'll hear from a woman who worked in the country in the aftermath

1:19:07 > 1:19:08of the 2010 earthquake.

1:19:08 > 1:19:11This morning we've been asking why men are seven and a half times

1:19:11 > 1:19:13more likely to be gambling addicts than women.

1:19:13 > 1:19:16Our reporter Chris Hemmings has been trying to find out.

1:19:16 > 1:19:18We bought you his full report earlier - here's

1:19:18 > 1:19:22a short extract.

1:19:22 > 1:19:27It is now thought that 430,000 problem gamblers are in Britain,

1:19:27 > 1:19:32with as many as 2 million at risk of developing a problem. There is

1:19:32 > 1:19:39hardly no difference between the genders when it comes to gambling,

1:19:39 > 1:19:45but the addictiveness is the difference, if you are an annual

1:19:45 > 1:19:49seven and a half times more likely to become a problem gambler. What is

1:19:49 > 1:19:52it about men that makes us more susceptible to gambling? -- if you

1:19:52 > 1:19:57are male you are seven and a half times more likely to become a

1:19:57 > 1:20:02problem gambler. I met Matt who has lost nearly £30,000 on gambling.It

1:20:02 > 1:20:07started with betting on football. It got more and more out of hand. I

1:20:07 > 1:20:11think it is a lad culture thing. You cannot go to the pub on a Saturday

1:20:11 > 1:20:16afternoon without the football on the TV. Then there is adverts that

1:20:16 > 1:20:25come on and you get the urge to have a bet on the football.Think fast,

1:20:25 > 1:20:30act fast to come in play!This programme watched 25 live football

1:20:30 > 1:20:36games last October. Of the more than 1300 adverts in the games, more than

1:20:36 > 1:20:41a fifth were for gambling. Doctor Robert has been helping people with

1:20:41 > 1:20:46their addictions for over 30 years. As a gambling addict himself he has

1:20:46 > 1:20:51a rare insight into the mind of a problem gambler. What is it that

1:20:51 > 1:20:56draws men into gambling?Men tend to be hedonistic, yeah, let's go for

1:20:56 > 1:21:06it! That characteristic seems to be macho, or a real man. Generally men

1:21:06 > 1:21:10are greater risk takers than women. They tend to be rather proud of it.

1:21:10 > 1:21:16I used to post on how much I lost. I lost three months' income on the

1:21:16 > 1:21:20turn of a card in a poker game. This isn't something I should be proud

1:21:20 > 1:21:24of, but on a gambler, I'm a real gambler. You see comments like the

1:21:24 > 1:21:31fishermen boasting about the one that got away.Experts have said

1:21:31 > 1:21:34that not a lot of research has been done on the biological differences

1:21:34 > 1:21:42between the sexes, but there are theories as to why men don't have a

1:21:42 > 1:21:46problem with chasing their losses. We made a trial where people have to

1:21:46 > 1:21:50blow up a balloon. They see a balloon and they are asked would you

1:21:50 > 1:21:54like to inflate it to be larger, or would you like to cash out and get

1:21:54 > 1:22:01the money. You get more money when the balloon is bigger, but with

1:22:01 > 1:22:06every press of a button the balloon could pop. Men were significantly

1:22:06 > 1:22:10more risky. Women were more Conservative. They were more likely

1:22:10 > 1:22:18to cash out their balloons. Men were more likely to take the risk.Do you

1:22:18 > 1:22:21see a correlation between what you have found and the fact that there

1:22:21 > 1:22:25are seemingly more men who are problem gamblers?Somebody gets into

1:22:25 > 1:22:28gambling, they might get into trouble, get into debt, that leads

1:22:28 > 1:22:32to stress. What they are looking for is the solution, this risky outcome

1:22:32 > 1:22:39where they could get a big reward, and that really isn't very helpful,

1:22:39 > 1:22:47but that's what is driving their behaviour.

1:22:47 > 1:22:49We can talk now to Mark Potter - he's from

1:22:49 > 1:22:51Epic Risk Management; they work

1:22:51 > 1:22:53in areas with problem gambling - like professional sports

1:22:53 > 1:22:56as well as in the finacial services sector and they go into schools too

1:22:56 > 1:23:03- he's a former addict himself.

1:23:18 > 1:23:19specializing in gambling

1:23:19 > 1:23:22addiction.

1:23:22 > 1:23:25Let's start with your own story tell me about your

1:23:26 > 1:23:30issues with gambling.

1:23:30 > 1:23:34I was playing competitive sport. I got an injury. As a way to pass the

1:23:34 > 1:23:43time, handled the boredom, I was placing small bets.How much?£5,

1:23:43 > 1:23:51£10, but pretty quickly I had a large win of £11,000. After that my

1:23:51 > 1:23:58stakes dramatically increased. But then I couldn't go back to placing

1:23:58 > 1:24:06smaller stakes. And it got more and more, to the extent where ten years

1:24:06 > 1:24:11later when I eventually stopped I stole money from my employer. I was

1:24:11 > 1:24:19pretty close to going to prison for fraud. And eventually in 2012 I went

1:24:19 > 1:24:24to a clinic, run by Tony Adams, things have improved quite a lot,

1:24:24 > 1:24:28and I have managed to keep some money in my pocket.Is there

1:24:28 > 1:24:32something about the fact that you are a bloke so you are more

1:24:32 > 1:24:39susceptible to problem gambling?I would say so. I would say men

1:24:39 > 1:24:42generally take more risks. Especially being a sportsman, the

1:24:42 > 1:24:49sort of competitive nature of that very much mirrors gambling, in which

1:24:49 > 1:24:52the ups and downs of winning and losing, highs and lows, are very

1:24:52 > 1:24:59much the same as winning the big bet and the downers of having a few

1:24:59 > 1:25:06weeks when you are losing and chasing your tail. Generally women

1:25:06 > 1:25:10haven't been big into going into high street bookmakers.But you

1:25:10 > 1:25:15don't need to any more.Exactly. So you will find that there are more

1:25:15 > 1:25:18women becoming problematic gamblers now compared with ten years ago. I

1:25:18 > 1:25:23would say these statistics about seven and a half times more likely

1:25:23 > 1:25:28for men, I think that will change. Do you think that's right?

1:25:28 > 1:25:34Presumably it is mostly men that you treat, but do you think the gap will

1:25:34 > 1:25:40narrow?It is mainly men. But I think the gap will narrow. In recent

1:25:40 > 1:25:44years I think the advertising is gearing itself more towards women,

1:25:44 > 1:25:49as well. So, making adverts for online gambling a bit more colourful

1:25:49 > 1:25:54and attractive and things like that. I think that women, maybe even young

1:25:54 > 1:25:59women, are becoming a bit more of a target group, actually.In the

1:25:59 > 1:26:03meantime, why are men more susceptible?There is something to

1:26:03 > 1:26:10say about the way men are more likely to take risks. The study was

1:26:10 > 1:26:16interesting which you were just displaying. The big thing we have

1:26:16 > 1:26:23seen in therapy is that men, you know, they enjoy the gambling

1:26:23 > 1:26:28experience a lot. When they are standing in a bookmakers, their

1:26:28 > 1:26:34mates are there. There is a lot of, you know, companionship, and so on.

1:26:34 > 1:26:37Actually, when you are looking at people who do sport betting, and so

1:26:37 > 1:26:46on, in the bookmakers, you know, those...That's part of the

1:26:46 > 1:26:50experience, being with your mates, putting on a bet, having a drink.

1:26:50 > 1:26:54Exactly. Classically you don't see ladies particularly enjoying that

1:26:54 > 1:27:03type of environment. But I would say that you have to look out the

1:27:03 > 1:27:07function of gambling, what it is for the person. I won't make over

1:27:07 > 1:27:13generalisations, but a lot of the women that we treat for gambling

1:27:13 > 1:27:16addiction are usually not enjoying the experience of the gambling as

1:27:16 > 1:27:21much. However, it's a really nice little bubble that they are

1:27:21 > 1:27:26enjoying. For example, they might be having some emotional difficulties,

1:27:26 > 1:27:29they might be having some marital problems, they might have been

1:27:29 > 1:27:34through some of the crisis, and they are actually using the gambling as a

1:27:34 > 1:27:37way of zoning out and really going to their bubble.Let me bring in

1:27:37 > 1:27:43Adam. Your dad featured in the long version of our film which we played

1:27:43 > 1:27:47a little earlier. He talked about the shame involved. Particularly

1:27:47 > 1:27:50because he felt so guilty because he was the breadwinner. What do you

1:27:50 > 1:27:58think of that?Is it an interesting point. If you go back to the history

1:27:58 > 1:28:04of gambling, it all started with horse racing and sports. It was very

1:28:04 > 1:28:08much exclusive to that. And it was a very different landscape to how it

1:28:08 > 1:28:13is now. Where my dad found himself, I think, we are living in a society

1:28:13 > 1:28:17that already has a lot of financial pressure, career pressure, family

1:28:17 > 1:28:23pressure. Even though he has a good job he had trouble with his

1:28:23 > 1:28:28finances. He ran into trouble with gambling. To him it was being

1:28:28 > 1:28:34marketed as this product that was going to make him a fortune. You had

1:28:34 > 1:28:42thousands of -- he had thousands of e-mails and text messages telling

1:28:42 > 1:28:46him to spend more because you are going to be closer to winning every

1:28:46 > 1:28:49single time. Your guest talked about the adrenaline rush that you get

1:28:49 > 1:28:54while you are in it. From the outside it can look very delusional.

1:28:54 > 1:29:01But his, kind of, masculinity, you know, wanting to be the head of the

1:29:01 > 1:29:04family, not wanting to deliver any kind of bad news, leading to conceal

1:29:04 > 1:29:08that addiction completely from the family. We never knew until he was

1:29:08 > 1:29:12pretty much on his way to prison that he had this problem. That it

1:29:12 > 1:29:18had stolen money. He was going to prison...Can I ask, in terms of

1:29:18 > 1:29:22your campaign to reduce the harm gambling can do, you would like a

1:29:22 > 1:29:27complete ban on advertising across the board, is my understanding.

1:29:27 > 1:29:30What's the influence advertising can have on an individual when it comes

1:29:30 > 1:29:37to problem gambling?First, there hasn't been enough research being

1:29:37 > 1:29:44done on how the pervasiveness of these adverts has made gambling so

1:29:44 > 1:29:47normalised. Young men, in particular, he would go to the

1:29:47 > 1:29:52football, go to the races, have much more time on their smartphones, and

1:29:52 > 1:29:56spent much more time on the Internet. I think, really, the only

1:29:56 > 1:30:01way that we can prevent people from being further incentivised by, you

1:30:01 > 1:30:04know, what's already come out as these free bet adverts that are not

1:30:04 > 1:30:10really free, you know, let's ban them all. There is never going to be

1:30:10 > 1:30:14a case where doing tiny things to tighten up the screws is going to be

1:30:14 > 1:30:18enough. Our view is really that the adverts need to go. And if people

1:30:18 > 1:30:23want to gamble they still can. But an advert, necessarily for somebody

1:30:23 > 1:30:31who will want to spend the money for a company will still go and do it. I

1:30:31 > 1:30:39don't think adverts are necessary. And let's remember, not that long

1:30:39 > 1:30:43ago there weren't any advert on the gambling industry still seemed to do

1:30:43 > 1:30:50OK.This message from Mike on Facebook who worked in the gambling

1:30:50 > 1:30:54industry, betting shops and casinos, and having an addictive father who

1:30:54 > 1:30:58would beg, borrow, and steal to gamble. Gambling is an oddity.

1:30:58 > 1:31:02Unlike substance abuse it is difficult to figure out. I came to

1:31:02 > 1:31:07the conclusion that many addicted gamblers are people who are losers

1:31:07 > 1:31:10in life or feel unsuccessful, on the field, and are trying to redress the

1:31:10 > 1:31:14balance somehow by being successful at something. Does that sound like

1:31:14 > 1:31:19you?

1:31:19 > 1:31:26I think to an extent, yes, everybody is true different and everybody's

1:31:26 > 1:31:31triggers are different. Our philosophy is to try and educate as

1:31:31 > 1:31:36many people as possible from an early age, we go into schools,

1:31:36 > 1:31:39statistically we try and work in what is the highest prevalence

1:31:39 > 1:31:46sectors for problem gambling, professional sport is one, financial

1:31:46 > 1:31:50services another, the military, criminal justice, education, they

1:31:50 > 1:31:57are mainly men as well. So I think our idea will be that if we can

1:31:57 > 1:32:03educate from an early age around the dangers of problematic gambling and

1:32:03 > 1:32:06how it can be an issue down the line people may be able to make informed

1:32:06 > 1:32:11decisions and we can hopefully help reduce the harm created.A final

1:32:11 > 1:32:16thought from you, our men less likely to ask for help when they

1:32:16 > 1:32:20realise the gambling has become an issue?Yes, the male pride is an

1:32:20 > 1:32:26obstacle to seeking truth and they often have an inability to express

1:32:26 > 1:32:31and talk about feelings and so on. So yes, absolutely and I think women

1:32:31 > 1:32:37who start gambling, they progress a little bit quicker but also they

1:32:37 > 1:32:41often identify that there is a problem sooner and you know, the

1:32:41 > 1:32:47imbalance is still there.All right, thank you all, thank you very much

1:36:54 > 1:36:56Inflation is one of the most important issues

1:36:56 > 1:36:59in economics and looks at the rate at which the level of prices

1:36:59 > 1:37:00for goods and services is rising.

1:37:00 > 1:37:03It influences the interest rate we get on our savings and the rate

1:37:03 > 1:37:04we pay on our mortgages.

1:37:04 > 1:37:07Inflation also affects the level of pensions and benefits,

1:37:07 > 1:37:09as well as the price of some train tickets.

1:37:09 > 1:37:11And today it has stayed at three per cent -

1:37:11 > 1:37:15close to its six year high of three point one per cent in November -

1:37:15 > 1:37:24and some way off the government's target of two per cent .

1:37:30 > 1:37:36When is the squeeze on living standards owing to end?The OBR

1:37:36 > 1:37:41forecast is that it will decrease down to the target or around the

1:37:41 > 1:37:45target of 2%, the pressure will start to come off this year, in

1:37:45 > 1:37:50terms of real wages increasing, faster than the rate at which prices

1:37:50 > 1:37:55are increasing, we anticipate kicking in 2019 onwards, we are

1:37:55 > 1:37:58seeing a surge of inflation coming through at the moment which will

1:37:58 > 1:38:02fade away.Ayew embarrassed it's been the worst decade for living

1:38:02 > 1:38:09standards in 200 years?-- are you embarrassed? After the crisis of

1:38:09 > 1:38:152008 and all that crisis brought it and the level of debt at that time,

1:38:15 > 1:38:20we have reduced the level of deficit is 0.75 by 20 ten, still a lot more

1:38:20 > 1:38:25to do, it's not surprising it has been more difficult than it might

1:38:25 > 1:38:29otherwise have been.You were supposed to have paid the deficit of

1:38:29 > 1:38:35why now.We are on target to reach intermediate target...No, no, not

1:38:35 > 1:38:40originally, the previous Chancellor was my target, the deficit would

1:38:40 > 1:38:44have been paid off by now.We said in the manifesto reads told the

1:38:44 > 1:38:47electorate in the last election we would eliminate the deficit by the

1:38:47 > 1:38:51middle of the next decade, that is the target of the Craig Lee have but

1:38:51 > 1:38:54if I could get back to your point about living standards which I

1:38:54 > 1:38:59appreciate is extremely important to many of your viewers, we have done

1:38:59 > 1:39:05what we can within limited resources to tackle this. For example we

1:39:05 > 1:39:09frozen fuel duty at the time of the last budget which is worth about

1:39:09 > 1:39:13£800 to the average motorist converted 2010, we will increase the

1:39:13 > 1:39:18national living wage for the lowest paid in the country by four points

1:39:18 > 1:39:224%, we've increased the personal allowance for income tax, the amount

1:39:22 > 1:39:26you can earn before you pay any tax at all, we have put that up above

1:39:26 > 1:39:31any rate of inflation, 2-3,000,000 people compared to 2010 not having

1:39:31 > 1:39:37to pay any tax on their income adult.You've frozen benefits and

1:39:37 > 1:39:41after the last budget in November the Resolution Foundation said it

1:39:41 > 1:39:44will result in the poorest third of households losing around £700 a

1:39:44 > 1:39:50year.The most disadvantaged, those with disabilities have not had the

1:39:50 > 1:39:54freeze entirely that you have referred to but the most important

1:39:54 > 1:39:58thing that we are doing is to get the fundamentals of the economy

1:39:58 > 1:40:03right, to make sure work pays to encourage people into work. We have

1:40:03 > 1:40:06a near record in terms of the level of employment at the moment, more

1:40:06 > 1:40:11women in work than at any time in our history, the lowest level of

1:40:11 > 1:40:14employment for around 45 years and as I said at the same time we have

1:40:14 > 1:40:19reduced the deficit by three quarters since 2010. Sorry, in terms

1:40:19 > 1:40:26of growth... We come into the next period on the bike of 19 consecutive

1:40:26 > 1:40:29quarters of economic growth, we've got to keep the economy on the right

1:40:29 > 1:40:33track, that is what this government has successfully doing. If we were

1:40:33 > 1:40:36to address the precious you are quite rightly raising and I

1:40:36 > 1:40:40recognise people are facing.Do you accept bosses in this country are

1:40:40 > 1:40:45not going to offer higher wage rises because there is somewhat

1:40:45 > 1:40:51uncertainty around Brexit? And they want to know if Mrs me has a Brexit

1:40:51 > 1:40:58plan?We certainly have a plan.What is it?Firstly was to make sure we

1:40:58 > 1:41:02came to an agreement with the EU on the phase one issues of the amount

1:41:02 > 1:41:07of money we would be paying into the EU and the Northern Ireland question

1:41:07 > 1:41:13and EU nationals, we reach that element. -- Mrs May.What does

1:41:13 > 1:41:19Brexit look like? We don't know yet. I'm not sure why Mrs May is keeping

1:41:19 > 1:41:25it secret.I am trying to explain it. In March we will try to secure

1:41:25 > 1:41:30and into meditation period running up until 2020 or thereabouts, that

1:41:30 > 1:41:34will provide vital certainty to businesses and the economy such that

1:41:34 > 1:41:40we can continue to move forward and then engage in the end state

1:41:40 > 1:41:48negotiations that we will be looking to conclude some time towards...So

1:41:48 > 1:41:53for...It was always going to be bumpy, I don't think when you leave

1:41:53 > 1:41:57an organisation after all these years... It was not going to be a

1:41:57 > 1:42:02stroll in the park.What will happen?Exactly what I said, in the

1:42:02 > 1:42:05medium term and implementation period, we are engaged in

1:42:05 > 1:42:10discussions about that on top that come the European meetings in March

1:42:10 > 1:42:14we will have secured that which will give us that vital breathing space

1:42:14 > 1:42:19in which we will continue to trade on the same terms that we have at

1:42:19 > 1:42:23the moment, the European Union for a period is business has that

1:42:23 > 1:42:27certainty to invest and to employ people and this will help clearly

1:42:27 > 1:42:32help, with the pressures on living standards as well.I'm sorry, what

1:42:32 > 1:42:39does the plan look like?The plan is being negotiated, in other words...

1:42:39 > 1:42:43What is your vision. We want to have a close economic relationship with

1:42:43 > 1:42:48the European Union, we want to trade as frictionless borders as we

1:42:48 > 1:42:52possibly can, we had a Customs White Paper last year looking at the

1:42:52 > 1:42:56various scenarios we would consider in that aspect and we want to be

1:42:56 > 1:42:59free to have control of our migration policies and at the same

1:42:59 > 1:43:05time to be going out there as a globally facing nation doing free

1:43:05 > 1:43:08trade agreements with other countries around the world so that

1:43:08 > 1:43:11we can further our trade and there is already evidence for example in

1:43:11 > 1:43:15the economy at the moment, exports picking up, manufacturing picking

1:43:15 > 1:43:19up, we want to see that continue and we will do that is striking deals

1:43:19 > 1:43:23with other countries around the world.Businesses haven't got a

1:43:23 > 1:43:27clue, they are really hacked off with you.I don't think that's true.

1:43:27 > 1:43:32I spoke only a couple of weeks ago at a business club and there were a

1:43:32 > 1:43:36variety of different businesses there, or very up and optimistic at

1:43:36 > 1:43:40the moment, their order books are up, look at manufacturing, eight

1:43:40 > 1:43:43straight month in succession of growing order books and growing

1:43:43 > 1:43:47output and you haven't had that since the mid-19 80s. Exports

1:43:47 > 1:43:53rising, the trade deficit narrowing, there aren't many things that are

1:43:53 > 1:43:56fundamentally right on the economy, I talked earlier about employment

1:43:56 > 1:44:00levels, below was level of unemployment for over 40 years, many

1:44:00 > 1:44:03things that are right and I think businesses generally or in very good

1:44:03 > 1:44:08shape at the moment what they want from government is to secure the

1:44:08 > 1:44:16demonstration deal as quickly as possible, to give businesses the

1:44:16 > 1:44:20certainty about the terms of trade that they are facing going forward

1:44:20 > 1:44:24and I believe that will happen next month and I think we will see a

1:44:24 > 1:44:27further uptake in business confidence as a consequence. Thank

1:44:27 > 1:44:32you very much for talking to us. Thanks Victoria.The financial

1:44:32 > 1:44:41Secretary to the Treasury.

1:44:41 > 1:44:42The regulator the Charities Commission has opened

1:44:42 > 1:44:46a statutory inquiry into Oxfam - the most serious action it can take

1:44:46 > 1:44:48- in response to the sex scandal involving its aid workers.

1:44:48 > 1:44:50The charity has been accused of concealing the findings

1:44:50 > 1:44:53of an investigation into the use of prostitutes by its

1:44:53 > 1:44:57staff in Haiti in 2011.

1:44:57 > 1:45:02Helen Evans told Channel 4 News said she heard of three new allegations

1:45:02 > 1:45:13of sexual assault in a single day. There was one of a woman being

1:45:13 > 1:45:17coerced into having sex by an aid worker.This was a woman receiving

1:45:17 > 1:45:23Oxfam aid?Yes. Another case where a woman had been coerced to have sex

1:45:23 > 1:45:30in exchange for aid. And another one where it had come to our attention

1:45:30 > 1:45:35that a member of staff had been struck off for sexual abuse and had

1:45:35 > 1:45:37not disclosed that. We were then concerned about what he might be

1:45:37 > 1:45:43doing. That was three allegations in one day.

1:45:43 > 1:45:45Oxfam's deputy chief executive has resigned over

1:45:45 > 1:45:48the handling of the scandal, and the charity denies a cover up.

1:45:48 > 1:45:50We can speak now to Marie-Rose Romain-Murphy,

1:45:50 > 1:45:52who's the president of a Haitian-led non-profit organisation set up

1:45:52 > 1:45:55in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake; Alice Evans,

1:45:55 > 1:45:57who's a lecturer in international development at King's College

1:45:57 > 1:45:59London; and Chloe Setter is from a charity called Ecpat,

1:45:59 > 1:46:09which campaigns against child trafficking and prostitution .

1:46:11 > 1:46:16Are paedophiles seeing charities as a way for them

1:46:16 > 1:46:21to target children?

1:46:21 > 1:46:24Certainly, yes, we have been monitoring this issue for the past

1:46:24 > 1:46:2925 years. There are situations where children are extra vulnerable. There

1:46:29 > 1:46:36is often displacement, war, natural disasters, after these events child

1:46:36 > 1:46:40trafficking increases. We know that offenders target children who they

1:46:40 > 1:46:43see as more vulnerable in a way they feel they can operate with more

1:46:43 > 1:46:50impunity. But we also see situation or offenders. Which we might see in

1:46:50 > 1:46:53these situations. People who would never consider themselves to be

1:46:53 > 1:46:58offenders. In some situations where there is chaos, weak and child

1:46:58 > 1:47:02protection systems, and pressures on those individuals. They feel they

1:47:02 > 1:47:10can act that way. They are almost operated in a protected microcosm.

1:47:10 > 1:47:19-- operating in.I wonder what make from the claims from one of the

1:47:19 > 1:47:23people who worked there. A woman was coerced into having sex in exchange

1:47:23 > 1:47:30for aid.That interview was really troubling. We see this from so many

1:47:30 > 1:47:32organisations. Organisations try to cover up stories of abuse because

1:47:32 > 1:47:37they are trying to preserve their good name, preserve public trust,

1:47:37 > 1:47:42secure their ambition for the greater good. We see this in

1:47:42 > 1:47:50universities, in Parliament, it's all over, a real scandal.

1:47:50 > 1:47:53Marie-Rose, how angry are you about what Oxfam

1:47:53 > 1:47:58officials did in Haiti after the earthquake?

1:47:58 > 1:48:03I'm not happy about it. That is a mild way of putting it. On the other

1:48:03 > 1:48:07hand I have is to tell you come Oxfam is taking a beating right now,

1:48:07 > 1:48:12but I think I want everyone to step back and look at the fact that this

1:48:12 > 1:48:20is a systemic issue. -- I have to tell you, Oxfam is taking a beating

1:48:20 > 1:48:29right now.Is it wider than Oxfam? Yes. It is to do with imbalance of

1:48:29 > 1:48:34power, which leads to abuse of power. These organisations, you have

1:48:34 > 1:48:43a context in Haiti which is dominated and controlled by very

1:48:43 > 1:48:48large international organisations. They very often come. They have a

1:48:48 > 1:48:53Budget that is much larger than many state agencies. They also have

1:48:53 > 1:49:06political connections. So they come and they have an awful lot of power.

1:49:06 > 1:49:09Let me ask Alice, Alice, how does this sector need to be monitored and

1:49:09 > 1:49:15cleaned up?The Minister for National in development, --

1:49:15 > 1:49:18International development, Penny Mordaunt, put out a press release

1:49:18 > 1:49:22saying we need external independent review. Trouble is, no organisation,

1:49:22 > 1:49:29whether it is the Labour Party, the Catholic Church, my university, they

1:49:29 > 1:49:33cannot do this because it would quash their name. We need a well

1:49:33 > 1:49:39funded public body that investigate abuse across all organisations. This

1:49:39 > 1:49:41is about organisations preserving their good name and we need that

1:49:41 > 1:49:46independent review. The Minister also said the UK will be leading a

1:49:46 > 1:49:50summit on this. I am delighted to see that there will be UK leadership

1:49:50 > 1:49:53addressing this global issue.The stretch from the British Government

1:49:53 > 1:49:58and the EU to withhold money from Oxfam is -- if it doesn't sort this

1:49:58 > 1:50:03out, that's fair, isn't it?I cannot comment. Oxfam does a lot of great

1:50:03 > 1:50:08work. We need to focus on the victims and potential victims. What

1:50:08 > 1:50:12mechanisms are there for them to step out -- speak out and report

1:50:12 > 1:50:16what has happened to them. What's been done in terms of police

1:50:16 > 1:50:28investigations. We have the legislation for British people who

1:50:28 > 1:50:32commit these sexual crimes abroad. We want a cutdown across the sector.

1:50:32 > 1:50:37It is not just about charities, it's about businesses, it's about all

1:50:37 > 1:50:40parts of life where we know child abuse is happening. This is endemic

1:50:40 > 1:50:46in our society.Thank you very much.

1:50:46 > 1:50:49The UK government has unveiled a tool it says can accurately detect

1:50:49 > 1:50:51jihadist content and block it from being viewed.

1:50:51 > 1:50:53Our reporter Chris Foxx has been talking to the people

1:50:54 > 1:50:57who developed it.

1:51:27 > 1:51:33What we have here is an example of our algorithm running in practice.

1:51:33 > 1:51:36We have tee videos. One is legitimate news content. The other

1:51:36 > 1:51:42is terrorist propaganda. -- two videos. Down the bottom we have our

1:51:42 > 1:51:48algorithm running. We can see it is flooding this one as very low

1:51:48 > 1:51:51probability of being terrorist propaganda, and this one as being

1:51:51 > 1:51:55much higher. You can use this when anybody clicks to upload a video and

1:51:55 > 1:51:59flag this video for review and let this one through without any

1:51:59 > 1:52:03problem.They're big tech giants trying to create similar algorithms

1:52:03 > 1:52:07with a lot more money and they have had more time. They haven't been

1:52:07 > 1:52:10able to crack it completely. Why do you have more confident in what you

1:52:10 > 1:52:15have developed?Nobody knows what the tech giants are doing

1:52:15 > 1:52:19internally. Google misses the point. These videos are on the Internet

1:52:19 > 1:52:24right now. Over 1000 different videos on over 400 different

1:52:24 > 1:52:28platforms. If Google and Facebook were to solve this problem overnight

1:52:28 > 1:52:32it would simply move it to the smaller platforms. What we need to

1:52:32 > 1:52:37do is make the AI expertise available to these other smaller

1:52:37 > 1:52:40platforms. That is what we are hoping to do with this work.You

1:52:40 > 1:52:45haven't been able to show the algorithm working life today, why is

1:52:45 > 1:52:50that?There is a sensible level of caution around making sure it is as

1:52:50 > 1:53:01hard as possible for them.We cannot go into detail on into how it works,

1:53:01 > 1:53:05is that because the things they are looking for are easy to defeat?We

1:53:05 > 1:53:08want to be careful about talking about the intricate details of the

1:53:08 > 1:53:17algorithm. It has been designed to be as robust as possible.It might

1:53:17 > 1:53:20just push them underground, onto the dark web, are you worried about

1:53:20 > 1:53:25that?What we are looking to do is to move this content from the public

1:53:25 > 1:53:32web. If it requires somebody to have ten passwords, and incredibly

1:53:32 > 1:53:36complicated browser before they can get access to content, we see that

1:53:36 > 1:53:41as a victory. It means it cannot be shared between friends on their

1:53:41 > 1:53:47mobile phones and just accessed with an Internet browser. We see this as

1:53:47 > 1:53:50an incredibly positive feature, if it gets pushed into more and more

1:53:50 > 1:53:56inaccessible places.

1:53:56 > 1:54:01Tour operator Thomas Cook is taking British tourists back

1:54:01 > 1:54:04to Tunisia this week for the first time since an ISIS gunman

1:54:04 > 1:54:06massacred 38 people - 30 of them British -

1:54:06 > 1:54:08on a beach in Sousse in 2015.

1:54:08 > 1:54:09Until last summer, the Foreign Office advised

1:54:09 > 1:54:19against travel there due to the high risk of terrorism.

1:54:20 > 1:54:22We can speak now to Allen Pembroke -

1:54:22 > 1:54:25who ran back to the location of the attack after first

1:54:25 > 1:54:30getting his wife to safety, Michelle Turner in Bangor

1:54:30 > 1:54:33who has booked a holiday to Tunisia, and Raouf Jaiem, a tour

1:54:33 > 1:54:34operator in Sousse.

1:54:34 > 1:54:38You are on the beach, you heard the gunshots, you saw the gunman, you

1:54:38 > 1:54:42grab your wife and ran to your hotel. What has that experience done

1:54:42 > 1:54:50to you, would you say?It was traumatic. After taking my wife back

1:54:50 > 1:54:56I went back to the beach to help the victims. What I saw and experienced

1:54:56 > 1:55:05was, honestly, horrific. I did manage to save the life of one lady.

1:55:05 > 1:55:11Seeing those images, the horror, the gunshots, it was just a horrific

1:55:11 > 1:55:16personal experience.What do you think about the news Thomas Cook is

1:55:16 > 1:55:23taking British tourists back there? I appreciate their commercial

1:55:23 > 1:55:26concern. Tourism is important to the Tunisian Government. And holiday

1:55:26 > 1:55:35operators. From my own perspective, certainly more should have been done

1:55:35 > 1:55:38to protect the holiday-makers at that time. They were aware of

1:55:38 > 1:55:45previous incidents.Michelle, did you have any reservations about

1:55:45 > 1:55:49booking a holiday to Tunisia

1:55:53 > 1:55:58-- holiday to Tunisia?Not at all. The Tunisian people are fantastic

1:55:58 > 1:56:03people and I cannot wait.You had a friend there at the time of the

1:56:03 > 1:56:08shooting.Yes.Why hasn't that are not influenced you in terms of

1:56:08 > 1:56:16staying away?-- why has that not influenced you. There haven't been

1:56:16 > 1:56:20any other incidents since. That is why I want to go back. The Tunisian

1:56:20 > 1:56:30people are so friendly, so nice, they do not deserve this. Thank you

1:56:30 > 1:56:42for talking to us, Raouf, why should people visit?The British tourist

1:56:42 > 1:56:47has been, for a very long time, visiting Tunisia. More than 50

1:56:47 > 1:57:02years. We like, as professionals, the British clientele, because they

1:57:02 > 1:57:10are nice, because they come almost all year round. So we are really

1:57:10 > 1:57:18happy.How important is British tourism for your country's economy

1:57:18 > 1:57:20happy.How important is British tourism for your country's economy?

1:57:20 > 1:57:31It is very important. The British used to be, just in 2014, there were

1:57:31 > 1:57:40more than 400,000 British guests coming to Tunisia. Now that they

1:57:40 > 1:57:46have decided to come back. The first flight are starting today with

1:57:46 > 1:57:55Thomas Cook. I can tell you that today, just at the start, close to

1:57:55 > 1:58:0117,000 bookings have been made for this summer. And on top of that,

1:58:01 > 1:58:10Thompson with TUI is starting in May. What can I say? I'm really

1:58:10 > 1:58:17pleased. I'm sure the flights will be full all the season.Thank you

1:58:17 > 1:58:32very much, Raouf and Alan and Michelle, thank you your time.

1:58:33 > 1:58:33That's all for
