over the next 30 minutes we will bring you some exclusive interviews and original reports that we have broadcast over the last 12 months. earlier this year we reported on how police risk assessment forms were used against predominantly black music artists. it was used as a risk assessment —— assessment for certain concerts but as explained, the events targeted seem to attract similar audiences. we don't question it any longer. we just know they try to shut us down. there should be a review of the whole 696 process. so

would you say that form 696 is racist? yes. it is a big tidal wave of... it is all great, it gives us blessings. storms hit number one with his debut album gang signs and press a few weeks back and broke records including racking up the most first two extremes for a number one album in chart history. attention is so strong on grime right now that when he freestyle of about the brits failing to acknowledge any one in 2016, the brits bosses called him in and change their voting structure. grime has exploded. it has absolutely exploded. has been a massive explosion in consumption and the retention rate of people and people searching. someone like skip to all

storms the, they get several million streams per month. grime is like a musical representation of london street culture. fast tempo, high energy, attitude, there is street culture. fast tempo, high energy, attitude, there is culture, it is fashion and the way we speak. all rolled into that 140 bpm electronic dance all. —— a dance hall. you have to listen to it. you need to experience it before you fully understand what it is. one way to experience grime like all genres of music is by going to a gig. but people in the industry say that this form, used in london and known as the promotion event form 696 is

stopping those experiences and targeting music like ryan. djs have to fill out this form and that can be things like garrard, r&b, grime. predominantly music enjoyed and performed by black people. other genres like pop or rock do not have to fill out a special risk assessment form and even though it is voluntary, those who do have the wheel it out feel obliged. an idea that you could identify an advance potential issues. would you say that form 696 is racist? as an artist, it seems to have a following where there are a lot of incidents. or of an artist is seen as encouraging a certain kind of dynamic with different groups or gangs coming together, they are seen as a problem and then identify. i think that is a way that people see the 696 form, preventing those things. people get

into habits and they start hearing certain things and then they think that this music means that there will be more problems because it will be more problems because it will mean these types of people. the form is not racist, the former is a form. i do feel it is. form is not racist, the former is a form. ido feel it is. in form is not racist, the former is a form. i do feel it is. in my experience, when it is predominantly black people, without fail, the 696 form comes out and we have to do it. i don't have to do the form, i am performing in oceana, it it is middle—class or upper—class white areas, certain cities, certain areas don't have to do the form at all. that is a form of racism to me. it is implicitly explicit, if that makes sends. your genre is targeted because you have not written anything about any other type of demographic. they can say it is not

racist but it is targeted and that is the equivalent. let's be clear on how form 696 is to work. you want to put on a gig featuring storms the. he is an artist ‘s. we need detail, promoter, his real name, date of birth and address. that is then sent to the metropolitan police's central licensing team and the met told us they do research with the information received. they would not go into detail but it is likely to include criminal background checks. the met then grade that event. those greetings can go from low to medium to high risk. again, police would not tell us what constitutes which event. grade is then sent to the venue event. grade is then sent to the venue and to the local licensing police unit and according to the metropolitan police event up to the venue metropolitan police event up to the venue of a promoter or the local licensing police unit whether to counsel the event. last year, a club

in croydon london hit the headlines after it was revealed that through form 696, police had told the promoted to ban a form ofjamaican music. i received this form and it said that it is an unacceptable form of music and if we continue to play yet we would literally risk losing oui’ yet we would literally risk losing our business. we were told that basham and may attract the wrong type of people. i don't think they wa nted type of people. i don't think they wanted to see too many black people coming into the town centre. at the time, police disputed that was the case and the club has remained open. since our report on the controversial form, the met police have announced they will scrap it. if you have a story you think we should cover, get in touch. you can e—mailare should cover, get in touch. you can e—mail are sad victoria@bbc.co.uk. next, we travelled to southern

hungary where the mayor of the village there speaks openly about his plans to create a utopia for white people. we exclusively revealed how members of the far right in britain appeared to have taken an right in britain appeared to have ta ken an interest right in britain appeared to have taken an interest in the place. this village on the southern hungarian plains is just minutes from the serbian border. it is where, in 2015, 10,000 serbian border. it is where, in 2015,10,000 migrants a day serbian border. it is where, in 2015, 10,000 migrants a day crossed into hungary. the village population is declining. and homesteads stand vacant. the mayor he wants to attract foreign investors but not just any foreigner. translation: we primarily welcome people from western europe. people who would not like to live in a multicultural society. we would not like to attract muslim people to live in the village. and what if i was black or 93v? village. and what if i was black or gay? how would you feel? translation: we have a bye law that

bans homosexual propaganda. we adopt did afew bans homosexual propaganda. we adopt did a few weeks ago. as for your other question, think about this. europe is small. it can not taking billions of people from africa and south asia. but there is a population boom. this will lead to a disappearance of europe. i would like europe to belong to europeans. asia to belong to asians and africa to africans. as simple as that. he is so serious he has introduced local legislation banning public displays of affection by gay people, the wearing of islamic dress and he wa nts to ba n the wearing of islamic dress and he wants to ban the building of mosques. and his views are being pushed by a british organisation called nights templer international. the former british national party and leader, nick griffin, is a member, and the group is advertising smallholdings for sale in the hungarian village. hungary has already seen by more and more west

europeans as a place of refuge, a place to get away from the hell that is about to break loose in western europe. there two muslims in the town. one agreed to speak to us but at the last moment pulled out. he did not want to attract attention to themselves. they spoke of their fears to hungarian media in the past but other villagers reject the laws are huge concern. however, they are the talk of the village pub. translation: important issues like this should be regulated by the national government, not local legislation. >> if they take off their veil, i will accept them. it does not even matter if they are black. should become hungarian citizens, even if they are muslims 01’ citizens, even if they are muslims or whatever. i am trying to create —— are you trying to create a white supremacist village?|j —— are you trying to create a white supremacist village? i don't use this word white because we are white

european christian population, we wa nt to european christian population, we want to stay this, like this. european christian population, we want to stay this, like thism european christian population, we want to stay this, like this. if you wa nt to want to stay this, like this. if you want to watch all of our reports in full you can do so on our website. successive governments in the uk have all made similar promises about wanting to make britain more of a place where it is easier for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to get ahead. as our reporter, who was taken into get ahead. as our reporter, who was ta ken into care get ahead. as our reporter, who was taken into care as a boy and grew up in three different foster homes before his 18th birthday, explains, he says there is little support in britain for those with less fortu nate britain for those with less fortunate start in life. i left her when i was 18 and i moved into a council flat on the street. i am quite nervous because i have not returned here for five years. it brings back some emotion. this is the flat i moved into when i left ca re the flat i moved into when i left care and had to fend for myself as

an adult. i can see the flat. it is an adult. i can see the flat. it is a little crazy. bosch. i am wondering what the heck? i had to live independently, by myself, with oui’ live independently, by myself, with ourfamily asa live independently, by myself, with ourfamily as a care live independently, by myself, with our family as a care leaver. the most difficult weekend of my live was when i had 37p to live off for a weekend and all i could afford was an onion and i had a little tuna and i made faster tuna. a lift by myself. —— and lived by myself. i know i was not alone in finding it difficult to leave care, especially when it comes to money. research suggests that well over half of care leavers struggle to pay bills and avoid debt. that is why as of this month, some councils have decided to

stop charging care leavers council tax until they are older. in reality, only a small number of care leavers will benefit. the councils who are doing this hope it will leave the sudden transition into aduu leave the sudden transition into adult would. —— ease the sudden transition. can i have a handshake? was taken into care on christmas eve when she was five. growing up, she was moved 15 times all over the country. tell me about when you left care. they went that is it, we no longer need to contact you. you have hitan longer need to contact you. you have hit an age where you can live independently. off you go into the world. there was a lot of preparation for that. o, world. there was a lot of preparation forthat. o, my world. there was a lot of preparation for that. o, my bank. dina what it is? we regret that you couldn't make payment. could i read that? do you mind? how much are you

in debt? about £2000 across different companies. council bill is the worst one. it goes out of control. does it feel like home? this is my place that nobody can ta ke this is my place that nobody can take away from me. dodi was taken into ca re take away from me. dodi was taken into care when she was eight and left when she was 20. she had a happy left when she was 20. she had a ha p py foster left when she was 20. she had a happy foster home. she was upset to leave but says she was also excited at the prospect of being independent. had to cope with the pressure of being an adult rent, bills, council tax? pressure of being an adult rent, bills, counciltax? denial. a lot of deny all. every person has to deal with it. some councils have decided to scrap council tax. for young care leavers. do you think this is a

measure that will help was to mark yeah. i do. it measure that will help was to mark yeah. ido. it gives measure that will help was to mark yeah. i do. it gives them the chance to adjust. some may say why should ca re leavers to adjust. some may say why should care leavers benefit from this but not other vulnerable people in society. other people who come from a normalfamily society. other people who come from a normal family have their parents to borrow 20 quid from and other people don't. often i have literally had nothing in the cupboard because i had no money left to purchase food. we took two celebrities with opposing views out on a blind date. the series showed that, in an increasingly polarised world, they can be new ones and even consensus amongst people on opposite sides of the spectrum. we shined the silverware, polished glasses and invited them to lunch. an election

blind date. i interpret feminism as saying quite simply women can do what they want to do and not being told what to do bya man. to do and not being told what to do by a man. that is simplistic. it is not a matter of just by a man. that is simplistic. it is not a matter ofjust being uniform, he have to be smart. you go from this wonderful career start to make money at your level. of course, they don't they go into their businesses. these people are entrepreneurs and they are going forward, they come from around europe. this is one of the reasons i remainer. can ijust slightly parody you and say i am a

remainer because i want all those eastern european girls to take their clothes eastern european girls to take their clot he s off eastern european girls to take their clothes off in my club. want them to come and earn money my club. the english are more than welcome also. i have no reason to think you are not either than sincere. but the simplistic notion that feminism is about what women want to do because the whole point about women's choices is that they are deeply determined by your whole range of... that do not have a free choice. it would be interesting to talk to some of your girls would be interesting to talk to some of yourgirls and would be interesting to talk to some of your girls and one day perhaps i will get a chance. isn't itjust that they are too old? why do you

think they would talk to you? would you go up to somebody in the street and say i am wondering why it you are painting, why are you driving the truck? maybe it can set something off. you are quite a pretty lady. get that on camera! call me inconsistent. maybe you are not photogenic but you have very sparkly eyes. i am what i am. i have had enough major run—ins with people who are really saying to me, look, darling, you are grey haired, why can't you die yet? why it can't you do something about your teeth?

please make yourself look prettier for us. i do not know that world. that world where people would say that to you. but don't you think you underpinned it. it is a very different world for a man with grey hairthan fora woman... different world for a man with grey hair than for a woman... what you saying? you look at gloriously interesting... i am hunky... saying? you look at gloriously interesting... lam hunky... if saying? you look at gloriously interesting... i am hunky... if you are a woman with grey hair, you are consta ntly are a woman with grey hair, you are constantly told that you should do something about yourself. now, you might say that has nothing to do with it but i would say you have to look to what underpins and justifies that particular way ofjudging women. what i think underpins it is in yourgirls in

women. what i think underpins it is in your girls in your clubs who actually really embed or represent, if you like, of you of the female beauty. i have to say no, mary. i will answer it for me and the men in general as best i can. sadly, hugh have bumped into summer with people. the men i know they willjudge between women, small boots, big boots, blonde hair, but the women do the same to the men. i like the guy with tattoos, with no hair, look at me, 176, two young babies, they are gorgeous, a beautiful wife at 35... 34, i hope i got that right. and i getjudge, she's in it the money. rubbish. we are not talking about a

world in which nobodyjudges anybody else but you tend to stop you analysis too quickly. how does power influence, money, aspiration, relate to those ideas ofjudgement. somebody who has grown up looking at the television, at wrinkly old guys... i am taking this personal... i quite like wrinkly old guys, but looking at wrinkly old guys and i looking at wrinkly old guys and i looking at wrinkly old guys and i looking at young women with blonde hair. one of the things women over 50 said is that they feel invisible. wejudge 50 said is that they feel invisible. we judge everybody. we do it with cars. it is no good saying that.|j bet cars. it is no good saying that.” bet you judge my outfits.” cars. it is no good saying that.” bet you judge my outfits. ijust wa nt bet you judge my outfits. ijust

want to say... would love to teach you, peter, and would like to see a and sh to write and have a good barney. i like all of that. i know more than you. i have lived longer, i have had more experience. your experience is quite limited. mine is massive. you have no idea how limited my experiences are. at talk about extending my experiences. i interested to talk to some of the women that work in a club and you say, why would they want to speak to you? i didn't say that at all. you can watch the full blind date on our website. finally, we had a number of a list as jonas

website. finally, we had a number of a list asjonas on the programme. from the world of sports, politics and showbiz. there sat for playing samantha in six of the city, she is campaigning for better roles for older women saying ageism is rife in the acting world. it is such a diverse number of roles but you say, actually now, that the best roles are we in europe. why is it that? i think europe knows what to do with women of a certain age. more than america does. and part of it is because america is a younger country and is used oriented. i have been lucky enough to have been born here. my lucky enough to have been born here. my family is all here so when i come over and work, i feel the my family is all here so when i come over and work, ifeel the reason is that what is there and i have a lot of friends in the uk so it has been a really buy a second home for the past almost 20 years now and i have so past almost 20 years now and i have so happy to be here. i love doing

theatre. it is part of people ‘s lives here not like a spectacle as it is in america. it isjust lives here not like a spectacle as it is in america. it is just what you do, go to the theatre. i do not do musicals. i do straight theatre and mostly classical and there are and mostly classical and there are an huge roles of air. the companies are the best in the world. it does not make sense that a whole continent can find roles for older women and another continent cannot. pa rt women and another continent cannot. part of it is there are just fewer roles. i not ready to play someone who is grotesque, eitherfrom being thought of as just a very, very old woman at 60, 61, which i am not, and ido woman at 60, 61, which i am not, and i do not feel that way. there are very few roles to begin with and those roles are either into categories — someone wanting to be youngin

categories — someone wanting to be young ina categories — someone wanting to be young in a desperate way or someone giving up that is why i do not depend on hollywood forjobs any more and that is why a became an executive producer. i found more and that is why a became an executive producer. ifound a property almost ten years ago and i thought, this is a character i have never seen on screen. a woman who thought, this is a character i have never seen on screen. a woman who is not a victim, who is not dying of cancer, but is at a point in her life saying, why now? my husband and i have disconnected, the children have left but i have 30 — 40 more yea rs of life have left but i have 30 — 40 more years of life ahead and who am i? those are questions that women my age — those are questions that women my age—a those are questions that women my age — a huge audience out there — which i want to say to networks, you are missing a big opportunity. we need entertainment. we really do and wa nt to need entertainment. we really do and want to provide that. thank you for watching. we are back to life on january eight. in the meantime you

can watch previous interviews. hello. not quite in sync with the big day itself but our wether for boxing day the weather will feel more christmassy and, in the next few days, some of us will see some snow. the reason why, colder air is moving back in across the uk. 13 degrees celsius the top temperature for christmas day. most of us in single figures fora few days to come. an indication ofjust how cold it's getting will be the threat of ice on untreated surfaces as boxing day begins. more especially in scotland, parts of the pennines too. and we're getting some sleet and snow to begin the day in the southern uplands, northern pennines, to the relatively low levels in places, for a wintry start to boxing day, so be aware of that. there will be more wintry showers ciming into northern scotland. a few showers for northern ireland. a massive mixture of rain, sleet and snow for some across the pennines, northern england. and a few showers to come into the north—west, to add to that as we go on through the day, that could have a wintry flavour to these

as well, more especially on hill. south of all of that, though, i think you'll be struck by sunshine for a change, after several grey, murky days. but it will feel colder. as we go on through the day, if you are planning a boxing day walk, to it early. south wales, south—west england, you see what's coming — heavier rain coming back into the afternoon, with a strengthening wind once again. so let's take a look at that — 3 o'clock in the afternoon and it will be pretty wet here. the rain beginning to extend further east across southern england as well. to the north of that, take advantage of the drier and sunnier weather. still a few showers dotted about in northern england, mostly rain at this stage, into northern ireland too. but quite a bit of fine weather, a sunnier afternoon for southern scotland, for the central belt, compared with the morning but there weill be quite a few sleet and snow showers peppering northern scotland at this stage. and behind those things, it could well turn icy again going through the night. going through boxing day evening, into wednesday, we need to watch this weather system for snow developing into parts of wales and the midlands.

sill some uncertainty about the details here. but some sleet and wet snow possible too. the back edge of this, as it begins to pull away eastwards going into wednesday. if you are travelling, through the night and into wednesday, do pay close attention to updates on this forecast. further intry showers in northern scotland on wednesday. but actually as this weather system pulls a way, there will be a lot of fine sunny but chilly weather on wednesday and quite a frost going into thursday morning, which again, the gap between weather systems will offer a lot of fine weather before this system slowly comes in on friday. so quite a nice day on thursday for sunshine but quite cold. friday into the weekend, more cloud, the weather system from the atlantic turning milder, but also wetter and windier once again. this is bbc news — i'm mike embley — our top stories: vladimir putin's political rival, barred from the election, lashes out as the president's supporters prepare to kick—start his campaign. the pope calls for negotiations to end the conflict between israel and the palestinians.
