12:39 pm
him but yesterday, unfortunately, i am out of gaza, i couldn't be next to him. we are friends since university age and we work together 25 years ago in a newspaper and all that time together, growing up together in this very difficult situation in gaza but especially since october the 7th, the consequences of the suffering for the journalists is huge. consequences of the suffering for thejournalists is huge. people see thejournalists is huge. people see the correspondent behind the camera and they believe that he is a hero, but in the end, he is a human and he hasafamily to but in the end, he is a human and he has a family to look after and he has a family to look after and he has always fear about his family and imagine somebody is losing half of his family members and he still believes that he should continue doing the story and put all of his
12:40 pm
sadness and grief outside or inside him and keep reporting and it is very difficult for him and all of the journalists very difficult for him and all of thejournalists in gaza very difficult for him and all of the journalists in gaza when we talk about over 80 journalists were killed, the hamas run authorities are saying 106 journalists, i think the highest number i have seen in any conflict i have been following. i have been following many wars in all the area... i have been following many wars in all the area. . ._ i have been following many wars in all the area... what is the response then when — all the area... what is the response then when the _ all the area... what is the response then when the israeli _ all the area... what is the response then when the israeli government l then when the israeli government spokespeople like mark regev say to the bbc that israel does not target journalists? that israel is the only country in the middle east with a free press?— country in the middle east with a free ress? ., , ~' free press? then who is killing the journalists? _ free press? then who is killing the journalists? i _ free press? then who is killing the journalists? i know _ free press? then who is killing the journalists? i know many - free press? then who is killing the journalists? i know many of - free press? then who is killing the journalists? i know many of them, free press? then who is killing the. journalists? i know many of them, i have been in this business for the last 25 years and some of those people like young people, cameramen and photographers, they grow up in our offices and in our buildings and
12:41 pm
we knew them very well and how brave they were and they were killed just for doing theirjob. i haven't seen anyjournalist carrying a gun or being next to... they are all caught in the crossfire. one of them was killed in the beginning of this war, in the first week of the war, he was just a young person wanting to bring a camera from his house and the house was destroyed. i lived 44 days in gaza during this war, i covered this. i survived myself many times air strikes in the area. one day, i wasjust going to air strikes in the area. one day, i was just going to buy food for my family and we had bombs literally dropped ten metres from us and it was a miracle we survived. the
12:42 pm
journalists are facing this situation every day and they are scared and they want to go out of gaza. most of them i spoke to, many of my long relation with the journalist, i spoke to them and they all want to leave because they don't feel safe and they believe that they are targeted. when we talk about over 80 journalists killed, that is equal to a journalist killed every day in this war. who killed them if israel is not committing this? who killed all of these journalists? some of them were killed in air strikes, some of them were killed sniping. journalists in gaza, the palestinian journalists, sniping. journalists in gaza, the palestinianjournalists, accusing israel of silencing journalists. they insist they will continue but they need protection. we they insist they will continue but they need protection.— they insist they will continue but they need protection. we are always

12:45 pm
some context? there is something deeply troubling — some context? there is something deeply troubling but _ some context? there is something deeply troubling but also _ deeply troubling but also inexplicable about particularly knife crime involving young people. generally, violets in the uk is historically very low. the risk of being a victim of violence probably never been lower in history. it has fallen 50% in the last 20 years. three quarters in the last 30 years. and yet, knife crime, particularly involving teenagers, we saw 18 teenagers stabbed to death in london last year. a really troubling picture. last year. a really troubling icture. ~ ., , last year. a really troubling icture. ~ . , , picture. we are seeing the figures here now. picture. we are seeing the figures here now- if _ picture. we are seeing the figures here now- if i _ picture. we are seeing the figures here now. ifi can _ picture. we are seeing the figures here now. ifi can tell— picture. we are seeing the figures here now. if i can tell you - picture. we are seeing the figures here now. if i can tell you that - picture. we are seeing the figuresj here now. if i can tell you that the most recent _ here now. if i can tell you that the most recent annual _ here now. if i can tell you that the most recent annual figures - here now. if i can tell you that the most recent annual figures for - here now. if i can tell you that the i most recent annual figures for knife crime, this is england and wales, 230 homicides, more than 400 attempted murders involving knives, 5600 threats to kill, 40,500 assaults and robberies, that is all in the year tojuly last assaults and robberies, that is all in the year to july last year. assaults and robberies, that is all in the year tojuly last year. and thatis in the year tojuly last year. and that is an increase of 3% on the previous year, but is actually down slightly pre—pandemic. the rate of knife crime, though, is high in
12:46 pm
england and wales at the moment. higher than it has been. not the highest ever, but high. what i think i would say is that idris elba's involvement in this campaign reflects i think the fact that when a young person is stabbed, often by another young person incidentally, dozens, scores of lives are irreparably harmed and there is a sense of anger and deep frustration and i think we heard that from idris elba this morning. particularly in relation to facilities, youth facilities, to help actually try and keep people out of trouble. let’s keep people out of trouble. let's have a listen _ keep people out of trouble. let's have a listen to _ keep people out of trouble. let's have a listen to idris _ keep people out of trouble. let's have a listen to idris elba - keep people out of trouble. let's have a listen to idris elba this morning. i'm a member of the society, of our country and i'm a parent, and i really think that our country is at a boiling point, we are sensitive to this topic, we all feel the pain when we see it on the news but there's very little done that reverberates into actual action so for me there needs to be a consistent voice,
12:47 pm
a fixed point where we can point the finger and say let's do something together. from my perspective, it really is as a parent. i got the chance to sit down with some of the parents of the victims, the victims that we've seen on friday and i sat in a room with a lot of the families and it was really clear that while the rest of the country can mourn very quickly what we see, like harry on new year's eve, his family will live with this forever and go on and on and on. he really does put a human face to what people are going through but how is what is happening here in the uk comparable to what happens overseas? , , ., , , overseas? this is really interesting full sto - overseas? this is really interesting full sto i overseas? this is really interesting full stop i have _ overseas? this is really interesting full stop i have just _ overseas? this is really interesting full stop i have just been _ overseas? this is really interesting full stop i have just been looking i full stop i have just been looking at the numbers from the un, they are at the numbers from the un, they are a few years old, pre—pandemic but the best we have and what that suggests is that actually in the uk, we have internationally one of the lowest levels of knife crime
12:48 pm
anywhere. if you go to south africa, for instance, it is more than 200 times the death rate from knives. in america, it is more than seven times. in germany, more than 2.5, three times. so actually, we need to perhaps get a little bit of perspective on this. i'm sure this is difficult data, international data on crime can be hard, but the impression that one gets from the best data we have is that actually, while there is huge amount of focus and quite rightly on protecting young people come on trying to make sure that knives are eradicated from our societies, actually in international terms, we are obviously doing something right. i mentioned earlier that violent crime figures being so low in the uk at the moment. i think that is part of it. if only we understood what buttons to press to make it work when it comes to knife crime and young people. the when it comes to knife crime and young people-— when it comes to knife crime and young people. the context around this whole story _ young people. the context around this whole story was _ young people. the context around this whole story was so _ young people. the context around this whole story was so good - young people. the context around this whole story was so good to i young people. the context around | this whole story was so good to get from you, mark, thank you so much. oppenheimer was the big winner at the golden globe awards, taking home five awards including
12:49 pm
the top prize. including best director for christopher nolan, best drama film actorfor christopher nolan, best drama film actor for its lead cillian murphy. emma stone 14 or poor things. let's cross live now to the film and tv critic, rhianna dhillon. were you surprised that oppenheimer did quite well or was it expected? people have been talking about oppenheimerforever, actually, it is actually only been last summer but i am very impressed that it has managed to hold onto that propulsion because it is famously known that awards season, those sorts of film drop towards the end of the year and the fact that cillian murphy, for example, still won despite so many other films coming out since then which have been garnering so much attention is just a feat to christopher nolan's film making. i am a little bit disappointed that it wasn't barbie, honestly, that got
12:50 pm
the big sweep because i think that was so unique, different, fun and that was the film that really got people into cinemas and got people talking about film again. there people into cinemas and got people talking about film again.— talking about film again. there was a really emotional— talking about film again. there was a really emotional speech - talking about film again. there was a really emotional speech that - talking about film again. there was a really emotional speech that we i a really emotional speech that we saw from lily gladstone. it was a wonderful one, too. when of the best female actress fur killers of the flower moon, the martin scorsese drama. she is the first native american actress to win a golden globe. let's have a listen. i'm so grateful that i can speak even a little bit of my language, which i'm not fluent in, appear because in this business, native actors used to speak their lines in english and then the sound mixes would run them backwards to accomplish native languages on camera. this is an historic win. it
12:51 pm
doesn't belong tojust camera. this is an historic win. it doesn't belong to just me. i am holding it right now, holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film at this table over here. and my mother. standing on all of your shoulders. and my mother. standing on all of yourshoulders. ht is and my mother. standing on all of your shoulders.— your shoulders. it is always good when the golden _ your shoulders. it is always good when the golden globes - your shoulders. it is always good when the golden globes has - your shoulders. it is always good when the golden globes has a i when the golden globes has a historical movement, good to see her winning the first native american actress to win a golden globe. ht actress to win a golden globe. ut was really, really thrilling to see that i don't think it could have been anyone else. lily gladstone was by far the best performance i think in killers of the flower moon and she was the heart of that film. i'm so glad she has been recognised and it is really exciting that she is a pretty brand—new talent coming to our screens as well. emma stone, it is always willing to see her up on the stage. of course, she is celebrated, she is so well loved in the industry but for someone like lily gladstone, referencing her mother sitting there, i can't imagine how proud she must have been to witness her daughter at the forefront of such a historic moment.
12:52 pm

12:55 pm
and here's what he found when he set up a night vision camera. his secret helper was in fact a little mouse — picking up pegs, corks, nuts and bolts. he's since given his mystery friend a nickname — "welsh tidy mouse". many of us are completely captivated by the fact that every night, he comes out and gives him a helping hand. i am sure you want to look at those pictures again throughout the day, they are well worth it. we will continue showing it to you or they are at the website. there are still well over 100 flood warnings enforced so that problem hasn't resolved to things should improve over the next few days. the main talking point is the chance of
12:56 pm
