hello, it's tuesday, it's nine o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire, welcome to the programme. it's one of the most notorious unsolved murders in living memory — could the mystery of estate agent suzy lamplugh‘s death finally be solved? she disappeared over 30 years ago. today the metropolitan police are searching a property in birmingham in connection with her murder. it's coming to the end of an investigation, it ends a story then so investigation, it ends a story then so be it, from our point of view and we are removed from the process, but if it puts unaddressed, so be it, thatis if it puts unaddressed, so be it, that is another good end to that story. that is the owner of the property. we'll bring you the story. do uber drivers deserve annual leave and the minimum wage? the firm's in court today to challenge a ruling that its drivers should be classed as workers. we speak to one of the drivers involved. they have just launched a new company called uber works, a

platform for stuffing. the real danger is that if uber gets away with this type of business model, they will expand that to the whole economy. “— they will expand that to the whole economy. —— a platform for staffing. and then everybody will be working for uber under the circumstances. and two of the winners of the daily mirror's pride of britain awards are here, including ella, who in her 11 years has had a0 operations — and has raised thousands of pounds for the manchester children's hospital. how did you do it? i want to help the children's hospital. this is amazing. the star robbed the show last night. we will speak to ella and her mum, karen, just before ten o'clock. —— the start of the show last night. hello, welcome to the programme.

i cannot wait to talk to ella, you will not want to miss her, she is amazing. we're live until 11 this morning. we will talk about the young famous people named the richest in the world. adele has been named the richest celebrity aged 30 or in the uk by heat magazine — she's worth nearly £150 million, apparently. it is the uk, not the world, i beg your pardon. we'll be telling you who else makes the top ten just after 10:30. do get in touch about that on all the stories we're talking about — use the hashtag #victorialive. if you're emailing and are happy for us to contact you — and maybe want to take part in the programme — please include your phone number in your message. if you text, you'll be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today... the metropolitan police are searching a property in the sutton coldfield area of birmingham in connection with the disappearance of suzy lamplugh in 1986. there's been no trace of the estate agent since she went to meet a client in fulham, west london. there is no suggestion that the

current owners of the property have any connection to her disappearance. 0ur correspondent lauren moss has more. the parents of suzy lamplugh said she followed the motto that life was for living. but hers was tragically cut short. suzy‘s disappearance sparked a huge search, and it became one of the highest profile missing person cases. now, 32 years later, forensic teams are searching the back garden of a property in sutton coldfield. suzy was last seen in july 1986 when she went to fullham to meet a man known only as ‘mr kipper‘. suzy was presumed murdered and declared dead eight years later. her body was never found. in 2002, police took the unusual step of naming convicted killer john cannon as the main suspect. he's always denied any involvement and has never been charged. it's reported the property that's being searched by specialist officers from the metropolitan police used to belong to cannon‘s mother. there is no suggestion that she is involved or that the current occupants have any connection with the investigation. suzy‘s parents set up

the suzy lamplugh trust, which supports victims of violence. they've both since died, but speaking two years ago, suzy‘s father said he had little hope of finding out what had happened to her. it's not something that i dwell on very much. it would be good to know what did happen. but... i still miss suzy enormously. after three decades of questions, it's hoped this latest turn in the investigation could now lead to some answers. lauren moss, bbc news. at 9:15am we will speak to a former detective chief inspector who led the investigation into suzy lamplugh du's merger between 2000 2006, that is at 9:15am. joanna gosling is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. labour has dismissed the government's claim that

austerity is coming to an end. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said this morning that austerity was rolling out still, and yesterday's budget was all fixes and publicity stunts. with better than expected figures for borrowing and growth, the chancellor was able to unveil a series of spending measures, including a surprise cut in income tax. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. public service workers have called for it, the opposition have said, if elected, they'd do it, but it's a conservative chancellor, philip hammond, who's now claiming he will end austerity. there will be more, much more money for the nhs in england, one—off cash injections for defence and for schools, and extra help for those who're moving on to universal credit as part of wide—ranging welfare reforms. but labour say the government can't keep its promise to end austerity while freezing benefits for some of the least well—off. many people will look at these conservative claims that austerity is ending with a huge amount of scepticism. we are not going to be seeing

the additional police on the streets that we really need, we are not going to be seeing any change really to the situation for social care, because we have seen 7 billion being pulled out in funding and the governmentjust saying it might start to move towards backfilling i billion of that. the government has been arguing that austerity is notjust about putting a squeeze on spending, and ending it isn'tjust about giving public services more money. we're addressing both issues with this budget, first of all we're giving people a tax cut and we're increasing the amount that families on universal credit get, so that's putting more money into families' pockets, and we're also addressing where there are issues in public services. there'll be clear dividing lines between the government and opposition when the budget is debated in parliament today, but there are divisions within the chancellor's party, too. some mps don't think he put enough money to universal credit, others are questioning the timing of his tax cuts. philip hammond. but there probably won't be too much dissent, because the bigger divisions are over brexit —

the potential rebels are likely to keep their powder dry until the shape of a deal with the eu becomes clear. uber‘s long—running appeal against a ruling that its drivers should be treated as workers rather than self—employed will be heard in the court of appeal later. the taxi—hailing app argues that its drivers shouldn't be treated as workers — which would mean they are entitled to paid holiday and the minimum wage. unions calculate it could be worth £18,000 pounds per driver if uber lose. uber said an earlier ruling fundamentally misunderstood how it operated. a british academic who's been held in the united arab emirates on charges of spying has been released on bail. matthew hedges, a phd student at durham university, denies the allegations but has been told he must remain in the uae until a further court hearing next month. the us says it is sending a further 5,000 troops to its border with mexico, as large numbers of central—american

migrants continue to head north by foot. the announcement by the pentagon comes as both sides of the political divide are accused of using the issue of migration to try and win votes ahead of next week's mid—term elections. here's our north america correspondent james cook. plodding onwards through mexico, the migrants say they are fleeing violence and poverty. they are still nowhere near the us border but with just days until an election, president trump is trying to cast the caravan as an imminent threat to his country. this is an invasion, he says, and "our military is waiting for you." despite the political nature of the topic, it was a uniformed general who appeared on us television to announce the details of operation faithful patriot. by the end of this week we will deploy over 5200 soldiers to the south—west border. that is just the start of this operation. we will continue to adjust

the numbers and inform you of those, but please know that is in addition to the 2092 that are already employed from our national guard, 0peration guardian support, that has been so effective. the us has already beefed up security at the frontier. this is the crossing between el paso in texas and ciudad juarez. the troops will be deployed with helicopters, aeroplanes and miles of razor wire. the military says the soldiers will be used to support, not replace, border patrol agents. mr trump clearly hopes the issue of immigration will galvanise his core voters, but opponents say the armed forces are being used to fan the flames of fear for political gain. president trump is expected to visit pittsburgh today, following saturday's mass shooting at a synagogue in which eleven people were killed. but thousands of people have signed an open letter from a jewish campaign group telling him not to visit the city until he fully denounces white nationalism.

the rabbi of the synagogue where the shooting took place has said mr trump is welcome. drones and sonar technology have been deployed in indonesia to search for a passenger plane which crashed into the sea yesterday. the lion air plane went down minutes after taking off from jakarta with 189 passengers and crew on board. there has been no sign of survivors but debris and personal belongings have been collected from the water. excluded schoolchildren are at serious risk of becoming involved in knife crime, according to mps and the charity barnardo's. their report found that one in three local authorities in england had no vacancies in the pupil referral units which are supposed to look after excluded children. in england had no vacancies in the pupil referral units the government says a review of school exclusions and their impact on children was ongoing. there's a warning that the global wildlife population has plummeted by almost two thirds since 1970. a report by the conservation charity wwf blames global food production for devastating wildlife

and destroying land. the group has called for an international treaty to prevent further devastation. elephants, orang—utans and whale sharks are among the declining animal species. women should wait at least a year between giving birth and getting pregnant again to reduce health risks to mother and baby, a new study says. but researchers say they need not wait as long as the 18 months recommended in the current world health organization guidelines. small gaps between pregnancies risk premature births, smaller babies and infant and mother mortality. the researchers hope the findings will be "reassuring" for older women. the duke and duchess of sussex have gone head—to—head in the first sporting competition of their tour down under, as meghan emerged triumphant in the unusual skill of welly wanging. the newlyweds are currently in new zealand — from where our correspondentjonny dymond sent this report. this is the last big city on the four nation tour that the duke and duchess of sussex have undertaken, and the reception has

been enthusiastic. as enthusiastic, if not a little more, than all the other places they've been. they started their day at a welly—wanging competition. i'm told that welly wanging originated in england. some people say the west country but it has become a popular past time here in new zealand too. —— popular past time. they went for the underarm approach, a slightly controversial approach for welly wanging, perhaps not wishing to show the royal armpit to the world. after that it was a community event in aid of children whose parent or parents are in prison and then, of course, the royal walkabout. a very traditional part of any royal tour. what's notable about the royal walkabout with harry and meghan is that it's notjust meghan who is called out for. harry is a hugely popular figure here and of course he bounds into these royal walkabouts with enormous enthusiasm. this is the point at which he really comes alive, being in contact with people who are waiting to see him. the second thing worth noting is the numbers here. back in wellington, in auckland,

good numbers turning out, even on these rather blustery, cold days to see the couple. it's a sign, i think, that the tour has been a success in terms of the enthusiasm generated here in new zealand for the duke and duchess of sussex. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9:30. welcome to the programme. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag victorialive and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. whatsapp is free, you can do that instead of texting. let's get some sport... hugh woozencroft is at the bbc sport centre. the football world conintues to pay tribute to the leicester chairman leicester city, is still a club in mourning but there were some special tributes paid to their owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha after he and four others were killed on saturday evening when his helicopter crashed upon leaving the club's king power stadium.

the club's goalkeeper kasper schmeichel wrote an open letter to the owner in which he expressed his admiration for him "as a leader, as a father and as a man." plenty of similar tributes have continued. his distraught wife and son visited the stadium to lay a wreath in memory yesterday and were joined by the club's first team and youth team squads as a minute's silence was held for all of those who died in the tragic accident. srivaddhanaprabha's family also visited the outside of the stadium to see the many tributes that had been laid by the club's fans. these are fans at the king power this morning, still leaving their condolences. bbc sport spoke to their former striker and now match of the day host gary lineker on what's next for the club. well, obviously it's so early after the tragedy to know what this means for leicester city as a football club. i think, first and foremost, i'm sure the board and the supporters and the players will need to mourn.

hopefully things won't be too disastrous for the football club. but at the moment i think the important thing is the grieving, particularly for the family and also the fans of leicester. leicester were due to play in the efl cup this evening but that match has now been postponed — their next match is scheduled to be at cardiff in the premier league on saturday... league on saturday. studio: what about other clubs and players from other teams? some of the world's biggest clubs and players have sent their condolences to leicester — the likes of kylina m'bappe, mo salah, barcelona and of course all of british football. the tributes to leicester city's owner continued in manchester city's match with spurs at wembley last night. there was a minute's silence to all of those who died in the crash which went alongside the armistice day tributes. as all of english football takes time to digest what is one of it's saddest moments — certainly of recent times. the winning goal in city's1—0 win came

from a fiiting source as well — the former leicester winger riyad mahrez who won the premier league at the club in 2016. who made it quite clear who the goal was dedicated to. i was very close to him, very, very close. he was like a dad for us, for me. i spent many, many memories with him. it was... shocking and heartbreaking. to hear this news and... it is difficult to speak about it, but, you know, it is sad. leicester won't be taking part in the efl cup tonight. as a tribute to those who died, all players taking part in the efl cup fourth round will be wearing black armbands. that's all the sport for now. more later. in july 1986, when estate agent suzy lamplugh was last seen, margaret thatcher was prime minister, and chris de burgh‘s lady in red, was number one in the charts. miss lamplugh was 25

years of age and she'd gone to meet a client — named as mr kipper — in fulham in london and was never seen again. she was presumed murdered, and in 1994 was declared dead. her body has never been found and no one has been charged with her murder. back in 2002, the police took the unusual step of naming a convicted killer called john cannan as the prime suspect for the murder, but said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. cannan, who is serving a 35—year prison sentence for the killing of newly—wed shirley banks in 1989, denied the allegation. suzy‘s mother diana, who died in 2011, set up the workplace safety charity the suzy lamplugh trust four months after her daughter disappeared. it has successfully campaigned

for private hire vehicle licensing in london, it helped to bring about a new law — the protection from harassment act — which tackled stalking, and set up the national stalking helpline. here's diana lamplugh describing what she hoped the trust would achieve. it will be dedicated to actually helping women be more aware, perhaps learning more assertiveness training, actually learning communication skills. but also the men learning these things too because, in fact, we've got to learn to respect each other and to read our signals right. in 2016, miss lamplugh‘s father said he had little hope left of finding out what happened to his daughter. it's not something that i dwell on

very much. it would be good to know what did happen. but... istill very much. it would be good to know what did happen. but... i still miss suzy enormously. paul lamplugh and suzy‘s mother have both died. today, 32 years on from miss lamplugh‘s disappearance, the police investigating the case have confirmed they're searching a property and garden in sutton coldfield near birmingham. the met has refused to comment on speculation surrounding the search after newspaper reports that officers are digging in the back garden of a property, which used to belong to the mother of prime suspect john cannan's mother. —— the mother of the prime suspect john cannan. a spokesman for scotland yard added: "the search follows informatio received in relation to a historical unsolved investigation being led by hte met‘s homicide and major crime command." 0ur correspondent peter wilson has

been following this story in the west midlands for over twenty years and he's outside the property that's being searched now. where are you in relation to what the police are doing? i'm standing just outsidejohn the police are doing? i'm standing just outside john cannan's the police are doing? i'm standing just outsidejohn cannan's mother's former home. she comment fact, sold it to another man some 26 years ago. —— she, in fact. since yesterday it has become the scene of an intense police search. police have set up a blue forensic tent at the rear of this quiet residential property, i understand they have dismantled a former corrugated iron garage and thatis former corrugated iron garage and that is the centre of the police scrutiny. it is both west midlands police and the metropolitan police here, and as you have said, this

promise is perhaps to solve one of british criminal history's most mysterious cases. where is the body of suzy lamplugh? (inaudible) as to why the police are searching this now? presumably some sort of tip—off? this morning i had the chance to speak to the current owner of the property, his name is philip carey. he knew all about the case. john cannan, the prime suspect that the police named, who is linked to other attacks on women including the murder of one woman in bristol. mr carey knew all about the case, he has been in close contact with the police, and this is what he told me this morning.

we knew the back story from many years ago, and it's coming to the end ofan years ago, and it's coming to the end of an investigation. if it ends the story, so be it from our point of view, and we are removed from the process. but if it puts some unaddressed, so be it, that is another good end to the story. —— if it puts someone at rest. how have you help the police? helped? just to facilitation. we are the classic people wrong place, right time, as it were. the police have been absolutely golden with us. inconvenience, yes, because obviously you will see what is going on, but they have been absolutely brilliant in the way they have dealt with us, kept us informed of the bits they can tell us about and also how they have handled working around the family here as well. the police have been absolutely fantastic.

do you yourself believe that suzy lamplugh‘s body might be here? it's a 50/50. lamplugh's body might be here? it's a 50/50. i honestly don't know. the fact is the house is associated with the story and we honestly don't know, we honestly don't know. we've been here for 26 years and had no problems at all. so it's just one been here for 26 years and had no problems at all. so it'sjust one of those things, we're associated with the story by default but it is a possibility, maybe an outside possibility, maybe an outside possibility, but there is always a possibility. when did the police begin digging here? they haven't yet. that digg, that search for suzy lamplugh is under way now. —— that dig. you have just heard philip carey, the current

homeowner, the property is now under intense national scrutiny and it seems a possibility that finally the mystery surrounding suzy lamplugh's body, where it is, could perhaps be a nswered body, where it is, could perhaps be answered in the next few days. but they have search this property before back in 2002, but there seems to be real optimism now. from sutton coldfield, handing back to the studio. thank you, peter. we can speak now to jim dickie — a former detective chief inspector with the met police who led the investigation into suzy lamplugh's murder from 2000 to 2006. what do you make of this latest development? interesting. obviously i would say that the police have received new intelligence or evidence that has led them to do the search at this time of those premises. it sounds as though it

will be quite extensive, i would imagine they would have sonar type equipment to look beneath the ground, and as the homeownerjust said, they haven't started digging yet but no doubt they will in the coming days. can you clarify, did you search this property, this garden, when you were in charge of this case? from memory, i don't think so. we certainly spoke tojohn i don't think so. we certainly spoke to john cannan's mother, i don't think so. we certainly spoke tojohn cannan's mother, who lived at the address, but i don't think we did an extensive search, the reason being we had no evidence or intelligence to leaders to believe thatjohn cannan might have secreted suzy's body there or that there was any other evidence consistent with our review of the murder. right. so

not even a search of the house? our review of the murder. right. so not even a search of the house ?|j don't not even a search of the house?” don't know. i think probably that was done prior to us, if at all. bearing in mind my inquiry started in 2000 and suzy went missing, i think it was in 1986, there was another ten detectives... sorry to interrupt, according to the gentle and philip carey who owns the property now, the police have not started digging the garden yet, but would you imagine there has been some sort of tip—off thatjohn cannan might have bodied suzy lamplugh's body there after abducting and murdering her? it would appear that way. as i said earlier, there may be new intelligence, new intelligence leading the police to believe that a body may be in the garden or on the

premises somewhere. certainly we didn't dig up or search the garden during my reinvestigation, because there was no intelligence or evidence to suggest thatjohn cannan had secreted the body there. why was john cannan named as the prime suspect in 2002? as you say, it is a very unusual thing for police to do. we did a very thorough investigation and reviewed the original investigation, we submitted a file to the crown prosecution service. they looked at it and together with the senior treasury counsel, they decided there was not sufficient evidence to chargejohn was not sufficient evidence to charge john cannan but was not sufficient evidence to chargejohn cannan but they did say that in their view we had done everything possible and had led all

the lines of inquiry that were outstanding, we couldn't do much more. and there were two main reasons why they decline to charge john cannan, both of them were abuse of process issues. one was that the cps and senior treasury counsel felt that cannan had been tried by media and would not get a fair trial, the second was that some of the facts that had come to light, the police had known about in the original inquiry but had done nothing about. we have lost your picture but can still hear you, i am still not clear whyjohn cannan was named as the prime suspects. what was it that brought his name to the police? cannan was involved in the original

inquiry, the original murder investigation, but never eliminated from the inquiry. we looked atjohn cannan under the suspects, eliminated all the other suspects and john cannan was firmly in the frame for suzy's abduction and murder and remains the main suspect. we uncovered quite a lot of new evidence. we pursued some of the old leeds and there is no doubt that john cannan was in fulham on the day susie went missing, he was mr kipper. if you look at the photofit of mr kipper, that wasjohn cannan. his modus operandi, he was responsible for the murder of shirley banks in bristol, he has raped a number of women, abducted a number of women, it all ties in with john cannan being the primary suspects and all our evidence, most

of it being circumstantial, led to john cannan and no other person. for our younger viewers, the significance of the name mr kipper, that was what suzy lamplugh had written in her diary, she was going foran written in her diary, she was going for an appointment with a mr kipper, andi for an appointment with a mr kipper, and i understand thatjohn cannan's nickname was kipper. can ijust add one final point to that which is here important. john cannan viewed a house not far from the area, we got an id orjust to draw a picture of mr kipperand it an id orjust to draw a picture of mr kipper and it wasjohn cannan, no doubt. it was like a photograph. with hindsight is anything you would have done differently when you were in charge of leading this case? no, i don't also, we were complemented, my team and i need extensive steps we took to investigate or

reinvestigate the disappearance and murder of suzy lamplugh, all i can say for the benefit of the family, i wish i could have given them her body and i wish thatjohn cannan had stood trial. thank you so much for talking to us this morning, the former detective chief of the metropolitan police who led the investigation into the murder of suzy lamplugh between 2000 and 2006. of course we will bring new any updates from sutton coldfield as soon as we updates from sutton coldfield as soon as we have them. still to come. adele has been named the wealthiest celebrity in the uk aged 30 or under — with an estimated fortune of £147.5m. and — two of the winners of the daily mirror's pride of britain awards are here, including ella who in her 11 years has had a0 operations — and has raised thousands of pounds for the manchester

children's hospital. you can see della there with her mum karen. time for the latest news — here's joanna gosling officers from scotland yard have begun investigating the garden of a property in the west—midlands, in connection with the murder of suzy lamplugh, more than 30—years—ago. it's thought the house in sutton coldfield is the former home of the mother of the prime suspect in the case. the estate agent was 25 when she vanished in 1986. her body has never been found. labour has attacked philip hammond's pre—brexit budget, describing it as a series of half measures and quick fixes. but the chancellor has insisted that austerity is "coming to an end" as he announced extra money for social care and universal credit, as well as a surprise cut to income tax for more than 30 million workers. uber's long—running appeal against a ruling that its drivers should be treated as ‘workers' rather

than ‘self—employed' will be heard in the court of appeal later. the taxi—hailing app argues that its drivers shouldn't be treated as ‘workers' — which would mean they are entitled to paid holiday and the minimum wage. unions calculate it could be worth £18,000 per driver — if uber lose. uber said an earlier ruling "fundamentally misunderstood" how it operated. a british academic who's been held in the united arab emirates on charges of spying, has been released on bail. matthew hedges, a phd student at durham university, denies the allegations but has been told he must remain in the uae until a further court hearing next month. the us is deploying a further five thousand troops to its border with mexico as large numbers of south—american migrants continue to head north. the announcement comes as both sides of the political divide are accused of using the issue of migration to win votes ahead of next week's mid—term elections.

news after 10am. the taxi company uber is at the court of appeal this morning, to challenge a ruling that its drivers should be treated as workers. this means they'd be entitled to the minimum wage and holiday pay. it's the second time uber has appealed this decision which was made by an employment tribunal two years ago. uber has always argued its drivers are self—employed and want to stay this way. but what happens in this case will have an impact on the millions of people working in what's sometimes called the "gig economy" — these people who often work as couriers, taxi drivers and cleaners and get paid perjob. earlier i spoke to james farrar — a former uber driver who is one of the two men who kick—started this legal fight more thean 3 years ago now. and his lawyer rachel mathieson, from the firm bates wells braithwaite. i started by asking james about the moment he realised that he might not actually be self—employed, but a worker entitled to rights. well, it was actually something else, not really to do with the employment conditions, that started it. i was assaulted on the job. and i went to the police and i reported

it, and the police asked me to ask uberfor the name of the passenger. and uber spent ten weeks avoiding that disclosure. and i began to question why would that be the case, so i started looking at the contract and i realised, well, i'm carrying all the risk and the passenger's carrying all the risk, and uber is positioning itself as an intermediary. and i realised that i'm in a very unprotected position. there's no duty of care. and then i started talking to a lawyer and then we started to understand that, actually, deeper problem here is this employment relationship, or the lack thereof. and when you challenged them at a tribunal, you won. and when they appealed, they lost. so how do you react to the fact that you are still fighting this, there's another... the beginning of another hearing today, three years since you started this? it's been a tremendous advantage for a company like uber, powering towards a 120 billion ipo next year, they are trying to play for time, i think,

in dragging out these appeals, because i think the law will come down on our side and we will prevail in the end, but uber has got to keep these investors like the saudi sovereign wealth fund, and they are looking to make a killing next year on their investment in uber, no pun intended. also uber's got this... they've just launched another company called uber works, which is a platform for stuffing. and the real danger in this is that if uber gets away with this type of business model, they'll expand that throughout the whole economy and everybody will be working for uber under these conditions. this is what they say, almost all taxi and private hire drivers have been self—employed for decades, long before our app existed. if drivers were classed as workers, which is what you want, they would inevitably lose some of the freedom and flexibility that comes with being their own boss. we believe that the employment appeal tribunal last year fundamentally misunderstood how we operate. for example they relied on the assertion that drivers are required to take

80% of trips sent to them when logged in to the app, which has never been the case in the uk. well... the first thing is, in terms of this flexibility versus fairness, this is something uber always throws out there. but it's not true. you can have flexibility and you can have fairness, too. by fairness, you mean holiday pay, sick pay? not sick pay, just holiday pay and the minimum wage. right. in new york, for example, the mayor has intervened and he's put a cap on the number of licences on uber and he's put a floor, a minimum wage floor in the market for uber. now, i'm self—employed and will continue to be self—employed, so will all the uber drivers in london and new york, but new york proves that this can be done, and uber can do it. ok. rachel mathieson, thank you for talking to us. james farrar's solicitor. what is it that you are arguing?

what will you argue again at the court of appeal? so we're arguing that the individuals such as james are operating as workers and not independent contractors. and there's a lot of confusion around the distinction here, particularly around that flexibility point. if i could just illustrate by way of a spectrum, there's employees, which most individuals operating in the uk are acting as, and then on the other side there is independent contractors who are self—employed and running their own businesses. and then there's this intermediate category, so they are workers, they're not integrated sufficiently to be deemed as employees and yet they are not independent enough to be seen as running their own business. and because of that lack of total independence, they just need a minimum amount of basic rights. the flexibility can still stay in place, normally the distinction between employees and workers, it's more of casual, intermittent relationship. that doesn't need to go. and the basic rights include what? so national minimum wage, rest breaks, annual leave. it's very... the most minimum rights. if uber are unsuccessful in this appeal, then what happens?

well, it's up to uber if they want to appeal again, take it further to the supreme court... which is the highest court in the land? yes. alternatively, they could stop there and recognise that they've mischaracterised the drivers and pay the annual leave and the national minimum wage that they need to pay. and if drivers want to be self—employed, what freedoms might they lose if you win? so a common misconception with this case is that the relationship between uber and the drivers would change. the judgments have been determined on the facts as they are, so they look at the fact that the individuals could choose when to come on the app, and with that in place, that flexibility in place, they are still deemed workers when that app is on. so they still will be self—employed, worker is part of the self—employed category, but theyjust would have more rights. the flexibility won't change. what might be the implications for others in similar types of employment like, you know, delivery drivers and careers or whatever?

so, i mean, each case would obviously need to be considered on its own facts, but in this economy, the advancement of tech has meant the way that modern businesses are operating has changed dramatically recently. and due to the speed at which this has happened, i think there's a lot of uncertainty with businesses and individuals as to what rights they are entitled to and what the obligations are. so hopefully the outcome of this will provide greater clarity in that area on a wider basis. uber have said previously they would provide drivers with limited insurance against sickness and injury, as well as nominal maternity and paternity payments. is that not enough? well, no, because that's an insurance scheme. at any time uber can opt people in and out of that. these are about statutory rights that parliament has given to every worker in this country, and we are entitled to assert those rights and protect those rights, and we really need to do that. 0bviously

obviously we will keep you updated on that court case. adele has been named the richest celebrity in the uk under the age of 30 — with an estimated fortune of £147.5m. the singer has boosted her wealth by around £15 million in the last year, according to heat magazine, who compile the list. 0ur reporter, james waterhouse is here. let's count down, this comes from heat magazine. it looks at the account, sales and endorsements from celebrities. adele has had a break from music over the last year, suffered damaged vocal cords, it had been suggested she would take a longer break to raise her son, that shows the enduring appeal of her music. second, ed shearing, £91;

condition. she was born with kidney failure. it quickly spiralled into other ways in which, lots of problems. —— ella's. she would get calls that turned to pneumonia, she would be in hospital on oxygen, or ventilation, and things every year just got worse and worse really, to the point we got told nothing else could be done. and she just had a few days left, but luckily, a consultant wasn't ready to give up. and thankfully we got to transplant and thankfully, she is doing well. and i'd like to say thank you to my nana who gave me one kidney because i'm really proud of her and i love

hospital and great 0rmond street hospital. let me bring in emma. ella, have you met emma? what you have done is incredible in your husband's name, tell us about what you have set up and achieved.” husband's name, tell us about what you have set up and achieved. i set up you have set up and achieved. i set upa mental you have set up and achieved. i set up a mental health charity following my husband's suicide, and i saw a gap in mental health support in agriculture. i am a former's daughter, my husband was an agricultural contractor and following his death i realise not only did agriculture carry a high suicide rate support available was lacking. i decided to try and do something. you had no idea about the rate of risk in the agricultural community. i didn't, it was very hidden, people don't tend to talk about it, agriculture is a type that community, and so unfortunately it's not really spoken about, people are very proud, eric traditional, and it's isolated. when i started

delving into it, you could see there we re delving into it, you could see there were real issue is happening and i was shocked to learn it carried one of the highest rates of suicide but then you weren't shocked when you learned the reasons why. you can see why farmers feel they have nothing else to turn to. the foundation that you established, for those of do? practical support for farmers, councillors to go onto farms and they will provide immediate support to farmers who are looking for support mental health, in a place for it they feel comfortable. we have councillors who work over west wales, a 24—hour call line for people to call us to access support we also provide training to anyone in the agricultural sector for free. we step in, they come to us, we provide mental health first aid training, we have reds, vets, anyone who works in the sector, they can go

onto the farms and sometimes are the only people the farmer has seen in that week or two weeks and they can spot the signs are pro—mental health and signpost them in the right direction and be confident enough to have that training. for would you like to take it in the future do you not know? i would like to go national, we are operating in west wales and i think by the end of next year we should covering all of wales. i have to get permission from the charity commission to let me go over to england and scotland, it's an issue across the world with farmers. if we can concentrate on britain to strike then long—term that would be fantastic ultimately i wa nt that would be fantastic ultimately i want to have my children get to that age and note that there is support available if they wanted, get people talking about mental health in the agriculture sector. how old are your children? six and three. how are you? i'm doing good, it's been a

massive help for us, in our grief, the children love being part of that, we have a fantastic group of people around us, trustees and all in tears who are so supportive and to be part of that, we call ourselves a team and we work together and the children love being pa rt of together and the children love being part of that with their cousins and other children as well, it's a good thing for them. turning something so negative into something positive. she's a brave lady like you. this little one is really special. we haven't told our audience who gave you your award to you, not last night but some days ago, what happened? well, simon, louis, not then, you one who used to play for united. david beckham! my gosh! what, you know how much i don't like

the shouting bed. what do you mean? when daddy shouts. when he supports united, when he shouts a playing very well or not so well. it's too loud. what is david beckham like?” thought it was a dream and i... he just came and said how are you. i went crazy. did he give you a massive couple? yes, he did. and then you went round, the children's hospital in manchester, was a great farmers to, you went round with him but the cards you made and handed them out to all the other young patients. year. he held my hand and he said, let's give them children a ca rd he said, let's give them children a card and we did. and we asked for an apron and loves to make sure we

don't get dirt and stuff on them. and we got a card and they said thank you and david beckham said look at the children smiling. and it was incredible. i couldn't believe it. ella, i think i love was incredible. i couldn't believe it. ella, ithinki love you, honestly, you are unbelievable, seriously. thank you, all of you, so much. well done. timbuktu, congratulations. thank you. and you can watch the daily mirror pride of britain awards, in partnership with tsb, on 6th nov — on itv at 8pm. let's get the latest weather update — with matt taylor. good morning to you. look at this frosty scene from one of our weather watchers, lovely blue sky up ahead,

different story in the east, eastern england, grey skies, outbreaks of rain, as we saw in lincolnshire, big temperatures contrasts. temperatures dropping 2—7 in mid wales overnight, still their first this dropping 2—7 in mid wales overnight, still theirfirst this morning. 16 degrees, warmer out into norfolk at 9 degrees. that price to pay, still got some rain at the moment, quite persistent across east anglia, to the east of london. showers across north—east england, eastern scotland, showers in the west continuing with some snow earlier, now fading. some continuing through the day in the arisaig, mostly in the day in the arisaig, mostly in the west, friday, sunny, little bit more cloud than yesterday, persistent rain continuing during the morning, easing into the afternoon. taking a look at 4pm, heading towards the school run and the end of the working day, some showers across parts of norfolk, suffolk, lincolnshire, away from

that, the odd shower in north wales, north—west england, isle of man and the north channel, most of the uk dry. showers in eastern scotland easing, actually not feeling too bad, temperatures fairly similar to yesterday in the high single figures. maybe a degree or so higher. tempered by the breeze, the winds strongest in the eastern coasts. into this evening and overnight, the rain that we have on the eastern coast nudging its way into the north and east of the north sea. a change tonight, eastern areas clear, in the west, south—westerly winds developing bringing cloud from the atlantic, occasional bursts of rain lifting temperatures but any gaps in between could be a little bit icy out there, through england, eastern scotland, cold and frosty start. tomorrow in the east, in the west, not quite so chilly, the weather fronts bringing cloud weatherfronts bringing cloud and occasional rain, the odd heavy burst

can be expected, running north and east into southern parts of eastern scotland. for one or two early lengthy, or most, dry and bright moments, the best of the sunshine will be further east. temperatures lifting between 13—14d. thursday brings wet weather to the east, dry on thursday in the west, all of us having a decent day on friday, high pressure in charge after a frosty start, but the weekend, low pressure bringing wet and windy weather. hello, it's tuesday, it's ten o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire. it's one of the most notorious unsolved murders in living memory — but could the mystery of suzy lamplugh's death finally be solved? the estate agent disappeared more than 30 years ago. today police are searching a property in birmingham in connection with her disappearance. this former detective inspector who led the investigation for six years gave us his reaction to the news. 0bviously

obviously i would say that the police have received new intelligence or evidence that has led them to do the search at this time in those premises. it sounds as if it is going to be quite extensive. the suzy lamplugh trust was set up by suzy's mother diana four months after her daughter disappeared — we'll talk to the trust's chief executive in a few minutes. polyamory — being in more than one relationship at the same time with the consent of all involved — assisted dying and the multi—million dollar world of private adoption — louis theroux is here to tell us about his latest documentary series filmed in america. we have been married for 16 years, and joe and i have been partners for five years. and joe is coming over tonight for date night. and he is your... what would be the word? he's my partner. your partner? i sometimes will say spouse. spouse, you use that as well? we do. and ahead of the daily mirror's pride of britain awards, we hear from two of the winners — including ella, who in her 11 years

has had 40 operations, and raised thousands of pounds for the manchester children's hospital. —— and after the daily mirror's pride of britain awards. i really enjoyed it and i like to thank lots of doctors persuaded me. and it's been the best day ever. good morning, it's ten o'clock. joanna gosling is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the day's news. 0fficers from scotland yard have begun investigating the garden of a property in the west midlands, in connection with the murder of suzy lamplugh, more than 30 years ago. the estate agent was 25 when she vanished in 1986. her body has never been found. the owner of the house at the centre of the latest search has confirmed that he bought the home from the mother of prime suspectjohn cannan. been here for 26 years, we've had no

problems at all. so it's just one of those things, we're associated with the story by default but it's a possibility, maybe an outside possibility, maybe an outside possibility, but there is always a possibility. labour has attacked philip hammond's pre—brexit budget, describing it as a series of half measures and quick fixes. the chancellor said yesterday that austerity was "coming to an end" — announcing extra cash for social care and universal credit, as well as a surprise cut to income tax. mr hammond said people on the lowest incomes would benefit most. we will have further analysis of the budget at 11:30am on bbc news. our personal finance correspondent kevin petrie will bejoining personal finance correspondent kevin petrie will be joining us, personal finance correspondent kevin petrie will bejoining us, as personal finance correspondent kevin petrie will be joining us, as well asa petrie will be joining us, as well as a consumer affairs journalist and author. if you have questions, do get in touch. uber's long—running

appeal against a ruling that its drivers should be treated as workers rather than self—employed will be heard in the court of appeal later. the taxi hailing apple argues that a strike that shouldn't be treated as work at, meaning they are entitled to paid holiday and the minimum wage. unions calculator could be worth up to £18,000 per driver if the uber lost. uber said an earlier ruling fundamentally misunderstood how it operates. a british academic who's been held in the united arab emirates on charges of spying, has been released on bail. matthew hedges, a phd student at durham university, denies the allegations but has been told he must remain in the uae until a further court hearing next month. the us is deploying a further five thousand troops to its border with mexico as large numbers of south—american migrants continue to head north. the announcement comes as both sides of the political divide are accused of using the issue of migration to win votes ahead of next week's mid—term elections.

president trump has described the migrants as a threat to security. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 10:30am. let's get some sport now. hugh woozencroft is at the bbc sport centre. good morning. tributes continue to pour in for the leicester city owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha. vichai srivaddhanaprabha and four others who lost their lives ina and four others who lost their lives in a helicopter crash outside the club's stage at the weekend. the club has opened a book of condolence this morning, that fans have been queueing up to sign and pass on their sympathy, especially for a man who was credited with creating the community spirit around the club that helped drive them to the premier league title 2 years ago. we asked former striker gary lineker where the club goes from here. well, obviously it's so early after the tragedy to know what this means for leicester city

as a football club. i think, first and foremost, i'm sure the board and the supporters and the players will need to mourn. hopefully things won't be too disastrous for the football club. but at the moment i think the important thing is the grieving, particularly for the family and also the fans of leicester. and last night before manchester city's win over tottenham at wembley, players and fans paid their respect to those who lost their lives. before the match, a one's minute's silence was held and events also commemorated the incident at half time, until the summer — who scored the only goal of the game early on. he later paid tribute to his former chairman. i was very close to him, very, very close. he was like a dad for us, for me. i spent many, many memories with him. it was... shocking and heartbreaking. to hear this news and... it is difficult to speak about it, but, you know, it is sad. leadership woes at the bernabeau.

but at twickenham, england are bolstering their backroom team with a familiar face. former captain will carling will take up a part time role mentoring senior players. he'lljoin eddiejones' squad next week, with hisjob to develop the skills of the leadership group. carling won three grand slams and a world cup runners up medal as england skipper in the 905. christian wade says england's obsession with size contributed to him making just one international appearance during his rugby union career, despite being third on the list of all time premiership try—scorers. wade, who's five foot eight, has quit wasps to pursue a career in american football. he was speaking to 5 live's rugby union weekly podcast. even from when i was young, i feel like english rugby has always been about size, are you big enough, you

know what i mean? i have her but all the way through my career, felt like i have always had to prove myself. i think that is what gave me the stigma of not being a good defender. my stigma of not being a good defender. my statistics were up there all the time when you look at them. and england have reduced a sri lankan board xi to 261 for 6 currently in their warm up match, ahead of next week's opening test. you can follow the scores on the bbc sport website and app. it was july 1986 when suzy lamplugh was last seen. she was an estate agent. she was 25 years of age and she'd gone to meet a client — named as mr kipper — in fulham in london and disappeared. she was presumed murdered, and in 1994 was declared dead. her body has never been found and no one has been charged with her murder. back in 2002, the police took the unusual step of naming a convicted killer called john cannan as the prime suspect for the murder, but said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.

cannan, who is serving a 35—year prison sentence for the killing of newlywed shirley banks in 1989, denied the allegation. suzy's mother diana, who died in 2011, set up the workplace safety charity the suzy lamplugh trust four months after her daughter disappeared. it has successfully campaigned for private hire vehicle licensing in london, it helped to bring about a new law — the protection from harassment act — which tackled stalking, and set up the national stalking helpline. here's diana lamplugh describing what she hoped the trust would achieve. it will be dedicated to actually helping women be more aware, perhaps

learning more assertiveness training, learning communication skills, but also the men learning these things too, because in fact we've got to learn to respect each other and read our signals right. suzy lamplugh's parents have both died. today, 32 years on from miss lamplugh's disappearance, the police investigating the case have confirmed they're searching a property and garden in sutton coldfield near birmingham. we can speak now to rachael griffin — she's the director of the suzy lamplugh trust. thank you very much for talking to us. how do you respond to today's news? we await with some anxiety to hear what results there may be from today's search, but our thoughts, first and foremost, art with suzy's

remaining family, who must be really anxious. we spoke to a former detective chief inspector who worked on this case, who said there will have been some tip—offs and information which has led to the police now searching this property, which was not searched at the time. what do you hope will come from this? it is really hard to say at this point, our information is the same as everyone else, but really what i think we would really like to see today as some kind of resolution of suzy's case. it reminds us of how precious the safety of workers is and how important that when we are at work, our employers are doing what they can to keep us safe. your work continues with the foundation after it was set up by suzy's mother. tell us about the work that you continue to do?

every year we train around 4000 lone workers in front—line workers and helping them to manage their brisk at work, and we work with employers to put in place measures to make sure staff are equipped to be as safe as possible. as you said earlier, we run the national stalking helpline, helping around 4000 victims of stalking every year, providing support and advice on how they can help improve their personal safety a nd they can help improve their personal safety and also get access to justice around stalking, which remains a heinous crime. there will be many watching the programme who may not know about suzy lamplugh and what happened to her, it is worth reminding them that this was really significant news backin this was really significant news back in 1986, it was hugely shocking. it really was, when i talk to people who were around when suzy disappeared, particularly people just setting out on their careers, as suzy was, they always tell me how

powerful the coverage of her case was and how powerful it was to hear from her mother, diana lamplugh, who we heard from earlier, how determined she was that something positive will come from suzy's tragic disappearance. thank you for speaking to us, rachel griffin, the director of the suzy lamplugh trust. we can go live to our correspondent peter wilson at sutton coldfield. he has been covering this story for decades and is outside the property in sutton coldfield that is being searched, what is the latest? the metropolitan police has confirmed that they have received new information which has sparked all of this police activity. teams returned to this house in sutton coldfield at just after 8am. returned to this house in sutton coldfield atjust after 8am. at returned to this house in sutton coldfield at just after 8am. at the back of the property was a corrugated iron garage, that has

been dismantled and in the past 20 minutes or so police have been using an angle grinder to cut up concrete. you can see dust and smoke coming from the rear of the property, lots is happening here. i have spoken to the current owner, who is in no way connected to this investigation but is being kept abreast, clearly, by the police. he knows about the suzy lamplugh case. he has told me he thinks perhaps there is a 50/50 chance that something significant could occur. the prime suspect in this case, john cannan, his mother used to own this property. the current owners have lived here for 26 years. we don't think there has ever been a proper police search of this property. that is now under way. thank you very much, and we will keep you

updated, of course. animal population sizes worldwide have fallen by an average of 60% since 1970 — according to a report out today by the world wildlife foundation, or wwf. elephants, tigers, orangutans, koalas, sharks, bees and nightingales are among the species whose numbers are declining fastest. the wwf say that this is due to us failing to protect nature whilst overusing natural resources. so is this decline irreversible — and, if not, what needs to be done? i'm joined by mike barrett — executive director of conservation and science at wwfuk, louise mcrae, who's an ecologist on the report out today, philip lymbery, who is the chief executive of compassion in world farming, and on skype by dr alison cronin who is director of the ape rescue centre monkey world. thank you all for talking to us.

mike, i really want you to tell the audience what the significance of the report is. wildlife populations across the globe are plummeting, to put the 60% decline in context, if we we re put the 60% decline in context, if we were talking about the human population on the planet, we would be talking about emptying north america, south america, europe, north africa, 0ceana and china. that is what we have done to wildlife populations. wildlife populations area populations. wildlife populations are a barometer of the broader health of the planet and nature on this planet is not just planet is notjust nice to have, it is our life support system which provides us with the air we brief, fresh water we drink, food, fuel and

fibre. it feels like we are sleepwalking over a cliff. the international response to the crisis is wholly inadequate so we are calling for a new global deal for people and nature in 2020. what species are a threat, louise? the causes are habitat loss and degradation, some of the key ones are well— known large mammals like the african elephant and the tiger, they have very large ranges so sometimes their habitat loss impact their ability to move and thrive untapped resources available to them. closer to home we have seen uk farmland birds declined by 56%, quite a similar number, since 1970. this is changes to habitats. birds like the la pwing this is changes to habitats. birds like the lapwing and the turtledove. exploitation, things like hunting, overfishing and the illegal wildlife trade we have heard a lot about is the second—highest threat to species. something like the white rhinos in africa have seen populations decline quite severely, this problem is not going away. what changes to habitat are we seeing, and why? the primary driver is agriculture, dividing the food we need to eat, thatis dividing the food we need to eat, that is the biggest underlying cause. in practical terms,

that is the biggest underlying cause. in practicalterms, what are farmers doing that means we are at risk of losing certain species? deforestation, clearing an entire habitat. also in the uk it is changes to agricultural land, trying to intensify agricultural practices and the removal of hedgerows, which are key wildlife habitats. philip, the boss of compassion in world farming, how do you respond?” ee, farming, how do you respond?” agree, one of the biggest drivers of wildlife decline worldwide is factory farming, keeping farm animals caged, crompton confined, which looks like a space—saving idea but it is not, because then we have to devote vast acreages of cropland to devote vast acreages of cropland to growing their feed. mike, you are nodding? we also grow this in an industrial weight using chemical pesticides and fertilisers. the farm animals disappear, the trees, hedges

ambushers disappear in the wake of these vast monoculture revs, and in that transaction so do the wild flowers a nd that transaction so do the wild flowers and the seeds and the insects needed by the birds, the bats, the bees, butterflies and everything else right up to the jaguar and the sumatran elephant and even the penguin on continents far away. doctor alison cronin, tell our audience about your rescue centre? monkey world assists governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates. we have assisted 27 different governments around the world and in the last month i have been to beirut to work with the lebanese authorities to ta ke with the lebanese authorities to take a confiscated slow loris that comes from southeast asia, as well as to thailand to rescue a chimpanzee that had been smuggled out of africa and to turkey to get another chimpanzee that had been smuggled out of africa. the trade is

global, we have wildlife crime in the uk as well, it is a problem around the world and it is because the wild is becoming such a smaller and smaller place, people are getting into the forests, decimating the forest but then the wildlife left behind is fragmented, it disburses and then there is more available for hunters to take the great apes as bush meets, that is then smuggled around the world, the offspring of the animals taken as bush meat. wildlife rescue centres like monkey world are here to pick up like monkey world are here to pick up the tail end to assist governments in trying to enforce law that protects endangered species so we are seeing the final result of these endangered species being smuggled around the globe now. and the traders expanding, it is not

slowing down and we are witnessing that here in dorset. mike, what you said is shocking about comparison but if it was human populations we would talk about them being wiped out, i wouldn't mind asking you to repeat those areas if we were talking about humans, it is really shocking? if you apply to 6096 decline to the human population, it would be emptying north and south america, europe, africa, 0cr would be emptying north and south america, europe, africa, ocr and and china, that is the scale. it is overwhelming and i guess that most people are shocked by what you are saying but immediately feeling futile. what can we as individuals do? the reason we are calling for a global deal is there needs to be action on a number of levels. politically we need heads of state to ta ke politically we need heads of state to take ownership of the crisis. domestically in the uk, our politicians need to deliver an environment act in the uk to help us restore nature at home and abroad,

we need business leaders to take responsibility for the impact of companies and as individuals this is our opportunity now to fight for our planet and world, that is what we really need to do and can do that through our everyday choices. lewies, how do we get the message through? this stark number of the 60% decline is definitely something that would wake people up. we have been reporting on the statistic for 20 years and we are collecting data all of the time, we have more information than ever before. i think this is our wake—up call to do something. ok. we will see what happens, let's hope so. thank you for coming on the programme. he's been making thought—provoking documentaries since the late 90s in a career spanning 20 years. now he's back with a three—part series, altered states. louis theroux, well—known for his gentle questioning style and informal approach, highlights some of the most secret subcultures and intriguing worlds, from ultra zionists to the criminally insane. this time, he's returned to america

to tackle polyamory — being in more than one relationship at the same time with the consent of all the partners — assisted dying and the multi—million dollar world of private adoption. here's a clip from the first film about polyamory. in portland, louis meets gerry and his wife heidi, who has embarked on another relationship with a man called joe. gerry and i have been married for 16 years and joe and i have been partnered for five years. joe is coming over tonight for date night. and he is your, i mean, what would be the word? he is my partner. your partner? spouse, you use that as well? we do. joe and i got engaged earlier this year. you're engaged? iam. i know, it's kind of a crazy idea. and what is your relationship withjoe, would you say? how would you describe him?

overall, he is my friend, he is family, which is family of choice, you know? so there isn't a special term for how you relate to him? he is obviously not your husband. he is not my husband. metamour. metamour, i guess would be the appropriate term. metamour? joe! hello. she stole my hug. she stole my hand? you get out of here. you get all of the hugs. how are you doing? i'm good. did you see that, gerry? idid. a man was hugging your wife. it's a common occurrence. heidi just told me that congratulations are in order because you got engaged. yes, woo hoo! i've only had four great loves of my life and every single one of them i wanted to marry, and heidi is absolutely one of them. she is absolutely

a great love of my life. lucky heidi! what is a metamour?m isa lucky heidi! what is a metamour?m is a very strange world, to me, anyway. there are lots of terms they use to explain it. and a metamour is if your wife is involved with another guy, then your relationship to the other guy is that you are metamours. another word they use is compersion, which is how they describe the feeling of pleasure you get from your partner being romantically fulfilled with someone else. it is an ugly world. if you imagine you're committed lover getting hot and heavy with someone else, you are notjealous, you are flooded with positive feelings. they say they are not jealous, flooded with positive feelings. they say they are notjealous, did you believe them? i am guessing they said it is fine, you know? like everything to do with love, it is

complicated. i believed them up to a point, but in general i would say polyamory works about as well as you would expect, maybe slightly better in that i think for some people they can handle the jealousy, in that i think for some people they can handle thejealousy, for some people it is very fulfilling and more exciting than being with the same person for 60 years, but it is inherently more unstable and it comes with jealousy, usually. could you do it? i don't think so, no. i don't think so. is that because we british? i think there are polyamorous british people. yes, i have interviewed them.” polyamorous british people. yes, i have interviewed them. i think it is not the britishness, it is just to do with how i am wired. i am a very straight, committed sort of person. there was another great phrase, ethical non—monogamy? there was another great phrase, ethical non-monogamy? which isjust another way of how they describe. they want to distinguish it from cheating or having an affair, if you

think about multiple partners your mind goes to that, it is their way of saying it is ethical, out in the open, and they want to distinguish it from swinging, which is mainly about the sex, it is about long—term relationships and groupings of more than two. so subject areas at the tone of this new series, what can people expect? the first one is polyamory, in a lighter vein. i even get a little polyamorous, slightly. i go to a party, it is a sex positive party, i would give too much away. what does that mean? sex positive is another term, it means you are in favour of sex, which maybe does not so controversial. that is all others, innit?! would you describe yourself as that?! you are open to it in unusual places on positions. this is daytime tv. we do not tiptoe, we do

gritty stuff. we all walk blindfolds, there were topless women feeding me and it was a little embarrassing. so you participated at it. from a journalistic, embarrassing. so you participated at it. from ajournalistic, editorial point of view, what is the point? to try to experience the story from the inside. immersive. idid try to experience the story from the inside. immersive. i did a series yea rs inside. immersive. i did a series years ago called weird weekends which was hinged shami participating, then i got away from that and did more serious stories because i've belted trivialise serious subjects. but this is basically a fun story, if it feels appropriate i will get involved. there are more serious films in the 3—part series, as you mentioned there is one about adoption and probably the most heavy one is about people with terminal illnesses who t people with terminal illnesses who opt to end their own lives, either with medication or with machines that they use. a lot of your career is

non—judgemental, but you spent time with some really unsavoury groups of people, individuals, including neo—nazis, sex offenders, the most hated family in america. have you a lwa ys hated family in america. have you always felt non—judgemental?” understand where that phrase comes from, i definitely feel all the programmes have some implied sense of... is not judgment programmes have some implied sense of... is notjudgment then an ethical point of view, it is not as though i think everything is up for grabs, have fun and do what you want. i definitely come with an angle or a sense of where the line between right and wrong is but i try not to be provocative or confrontational and i attempt to see goodin confrontational and i attempt to see good in people who may be controversial all problematic. do you think you are a good judge of character? that is a difficult question. most of the time, i think iama question. most of the time, i think

i am a reasonablejudge of character. but, you know, i have been known to get it wrong.” character. but, you know, i have been known to get it wrong. i will ask you about yourjimmy savile and cancer, of course. i wonder what, knowing what you know, what you all knowing what you know, what you all know now, what that has led you to reflect on in terms of your ability to bea reflect on in terms of your ability to be a judge of character? —— jimmy savile encounter. the first thing to say is i knew, having finished the documentary, that there was a dimensional his life that i hadn't com pletely dimensional his life that i hadn't completely unmasked. there was a private side to him that remains a mystery. and i knew that and i was open, i said at the time there is a side of him to do with his, basically, sexual inclinations, i was aware i had not answered to my satisfaction. so what i would add in addition is i think we all as a society have become so much more aware of how sexual abuse takes

place, how people are victimised. and so for me that was a sort of lesson that i learned from it. and very often the people involved in being victimised may not even recognise themselves as victims. from the last five or six years, of what we have gone through, to me, that was maybe the main thing i took away. you didn't question your own ability, your skills of getting through to the real person? no. do you think i should? it's entirely up to you, i'm completely non—judgemental. to you, i'm completely non-judgemental. i feel i had a pretty good measure of him, but i will say... i will say when it came out, then the revelations came out i was shocked, you know, so in that way api agree with what you said, there was a part of me that old, how

didi there was a part of me that old, how did i not see that? a question a lot of people asked in the end. the editor of bbc for has said the era of tv shows for quote quite middle—aged men explain things has passed. middle—aged man, you explain things a bit on tv although you let your make up their own mind, how do your make up their own mind, how do you think the fact, or do you agree that era has passed? i:e...., you know, whenever it you start, we are attempting to correct an historic injustice, a sense of underrepresentation and i think that's completely correct and appropriate, i don't think he's saying quite middle—aged men should not be allowed on tv, that will be a bit ridiculous, as far as my own goals, there is younger people than iam making goals, there is younger people than

i am making terrific programme, i'm thinking people like reggie yates, stacey dooley, i'll be happy to make programmes, continue doing it for as long as people think there's something to be gained from watching them. and then after that i'll shuffle off and sit on a barker lounge. a ford? it's like some kind of the chair, we quite middle—aged middle—class men like to lie down on. i've never heard of one of those. the polyamory one is more of afun those. the polyamory one is more of a fun story, although clearly serious issues but a lot of your stuff recently has been darker, have you got more fun stuff in the future? it was a great source of pleasure for me that we did this story, i got quite nervous about it, one of the myths about the kind of programmes i make is at the heart, dark subjects must be harder to do. actually it's the light subjects i find difficult cos you have

sometimes less to get your teeth into. i think we did a good job with polyamory and it was nice to go back, it was a bit of a sort of retro louis theroux programme and i'd like to keep doing some more like that if possible. who was, the controller of bbc for said, if they'll let you do that? yes. when can our audience see... sunday night, nine o'clock, bbc two and on the eye player after that. perfect, thank you so much. pleasure, thank you for having me. still to come. we follow up on yesterday's story that some women over 34 are being automatically refused ivf treatment on the nhs in 12 areas of england so many of you got in touch, we have more comments in the next 30 minutes. time for the latest news — here's joanna gosling. the bbc news headlines this morning... officers from scotland

while also cutting taxes. 0ur political guru, norman smith is at westminster. the day after the budget is traditionally the day when think ta nks traditionally the day when think tanks and pundits go through the nitty—gritty of the red book, dry to tease out the important facts which aren't there in the headlights and i guess what everyone is focusing on, how far what the chancellor said yesterday represents the easing of austerity and some of the analysis suggests the tax cuts which he announced, raising the allowances for lower income rate taxpayers and higher taxpayers, that benefits better off families more than did those pro—families and interestingly the chancellor himself has been out and about this morning suggesting many government departments would see an increase in spending, he suggests outside the health service,

there will be 80% average increase for most departments. that means after the local council, local police and schools, for them, the clamp—down on spending is going to continue and also interestingly, mr hammond has floated this idea, if we don't get a brexit deal, that will bea don't get a brexit deal, that will be a shock to the economy which may mean there has to be further pay restraint. and that if he's going to be able to continue with better times then mps really have to work for a brexit deal. let's listen to what he said. well, the budget that we've put together and announced yesterday stands in its own right. the measures i announced yesterday will go ahead, whatever happens. but i'm confident that we will get a good deal with the european union. and what i said yesterday is if we get that deal, there will be a dividend from that that will enable us to put a bit more into the pot for the spending review that happens next year, a little bit more money

still available for public services on top of the very significant increase that we've already set out to the funding of public services for the next few years. many folk at westminster think the budget wasn't just about easing posterity, but trying to bind tory mps into supporting mrs may because the chancellor went out of his way, it seems, to appease every faction in the tory party, for those concerned about defence cuts he had more money for defence, those threatening to revolt over at universal credit there was more cash, those who are worried about the party not pursuing a tax—cutting agenda, we have that post brexit tax cut. the idea being use a tory mps, you want to hang in there with mrs may because otherwise you are not

going to get all these goodies and this morning, the shadow chancellor john mcdonnell suggested perhaps, philip hammond could be repairing the ground for a snap election after brexit. it's the tradition of the tories to cut taxes before an election, then after an election take that money back again. so we are all a bit suspicious of that. i think it's a reflection that actually they think they may well fall apart and be forced into a general election. if you see what's happening at the moment, the falling out of the tories within their own cabinet, the failure to bring their backbenchers with them as well, the dup exercising a veto — and, by the way, they gave the dup more money yesterday to keep them quiet — i think it's falling apart rapidly, so we could have a general election, and i think they may well be preparing for it. well, in the last few minutes this is me who is in norway said there is not going to be a snap general election but can you imagine the reaction of brenda from bristol if

there was another snap election? you're joking, there was another snap election? you'rejoking, another there was another snap election? you're joking, another one? maybe there was another snap election? you'rejoking, another one? maybe we won't have that. that was a reasonable attempt at an impression of brenda from bristol, not amazing. your specialism is politics not mimicry but norman, thank this time yesterday we were bringing you the news that some women over 34 are being automatically refused ivf treatment on the nhs in 12 areas of england, and that seven areas offer no funding for ivf all. national guidelines state the fertility treatment should be offered up until the age of 42, but figures show that around 80% of clinical commissioning groups — which decide what to spend local budgets on — are not doing so. in response to the story, england's health secretary matt hancock told us exclusively "blanket bans" are "not acceptable"; decisions on the treatments that are made available to people should be made on their clinical need, and blanket bans of the nice

guidelines that are different to those guidelines are not acceptable. there's a reason that we have guidelines in the first place, and that is to provide the standard that the country should expect, and then doctors should make individual decisions with individual patients, according to their needs. so women after the age of 35 should not be denied ivf on the grounds of age? there shouldn't be a blanket ban. of course, people need to be treated according to their individual but the point of having the national guidelines is so that is the position people can expect right across the country. so we went back to the 12 clinical commissioning groups to ask them to justify their policies and to see whether they had plans to change them based on the health secretary's comments. of those who replied, some pointed to funding constraints suggesting that it's less cost effective to fund treatment for older women, some that treatment for women of 35 and over was not

banned, but was simply "low priority", others that patients would need to demonstrate "clinically exceptional" circumstances to be eligible, and others that the policy is based on clinical evidence, which shows that a woman's fertility reduces over the age of 35. none of the ccg's said they were planning a change of policy, but one said they would welcome a national commissioning policy for patients requiring fertility treatment. many of you got in touch with us yesterday about this issue including glen goddard who was denied ivf treatment with his partner by cambridgeshire ccg. he had been through treatment for cancer, and after 18 months of trying for a child they sought help. cambridgeshire told us that provision of ivf treatment is suspended until april 2019. geeta nargund is a leading expert on ivf treatment and she also joins us. glenn, you were diagnosed at 21 with

hodgkin's lymphoma and toned before your treatment started you should have your sperm frozen because most likely you would be infertile and would qualify for ivf. the went, eight years later, to get referral to have ivf, i'd had some tests done, i wasn't infertile, i was referred to a clinic, we went through all the procedures of having test on for a partner, and we've gone to the clinic, they told us we would have to self fund. how did you and your partner respond to that? we we re and your partner respond to that? we were pretty gutted, to be honest, i'd always assumed because i'd had

my sperm frozen there would be funding and we would have ivf in the future. we were very disappointed. but sometimes we knew there was ways around it, we thought we would have around it, we thought we would have a look on the internet to see what we could do. what can you do? i registered to a gp in west essex, they offer two cycles of ivf, we decided to change my partners gp, we actually live in west sussex now, it made sense to move over. has the treatment begun? were still in the stages of doing tests with them, they have tests to go through than some other areas. more blood tests

are being done, we have been to a private clinic. loss of sound. we paid for that rightly and hopefully will get referred to the clinic later. what do you think about the some of what is effectively a postcode lottery, some areas fund ivf treatment up to the age of 42? others don't bother at all, some do ita others don't bother at all, some do it a bit, some use exceptional circumstances as justification. what do you think? i can understand why some places don't offer as many cycles to try and save their budgets but loss of sound. we are 2—3 miles from the border of cambridge and because we are over the border we cannot get at. now we live in this area we can get it, it seems unfair that someone down the street can get it and we can't. how do you respond? i think it's very sad, your story is

totally u na cce pta ble. i think it's very sad, your story is totally unacceptable. in your situation he had cancer, he was asked to quite rightly freeze sperm and he should have been funded under exceptional circumstances. if cambridge clinical commissioning group did not fund they should have facilitated that for him because of his situation and it's really u na cce pta ble his situation and it's really unacceptable that overall, we have been debating this this week. the entire situation is unacceptable, really. and it's totally unjust and unfair, we are talking about equality and fairness in the nhs. how those that, how doesn't not matter when it comes to fertility funding? why are we doing this, we saw matt hancock supporting that there should be no and and i hope he acts upon that because we need a national leadership on this. achieving national funding. ithink you said, the cc6 has come back to

you said, the cc6 has come back to you saying about cost—effectiveness. some said they don't believe it's cost—effective as women get older. that's completely wrong, there is a bigger picture here, providing ivf and helping to create children is in the interest of long—term economic benefit and prosperity for the nation. but as you know, ivf. is not always work. i agree it doesn't always work. i agree it doesn't always work but even when the success rate is low studies have shown there is an eightfold return on investment if you fund ivf for the nation. we need to children for the nation. we need to children for the long—term prosperity of the nation. and you know what, one study has shown that actually, the lifetime value of a child in this country is around 800,000 euros, we can go into that, we forget the bigger picture about the economic benefits and health benefits. glenn, i want to come back to you, we've got a statement from cambridge and

they have told us this, i know you are in west essex now, you can forget cambridge but this is what they tell us because it is interesting. routinely commissioning specialist fertility services i suspended in cambridge until april 2019 when this decision will be reviewed. when we review the decision next april it will include those who have been left infertile following treatment for cancer. were you to stay in the cambridgeshire area it sounds encouraging but it doesn't matter now to you anyway, i suppose, doesn't it? we always knew there would be a chance to appeal it but we didn't know we would have to wait that length of time, we decided to move now. hopefully we can go to it now before but it's good in cambridge they are looking at it. how old are you now have you don't mind me asking, and your partner?

i'm 29, my partner 23, we are quite young, we know how long it can take to get to the stage of having a baby, wanted to start as soon as we could. at you well? and very well, thanks, much better, went through nine months of chemotherapy and once that was over i was back to myself. good to hear and good luck. thank you for coming on the programme. and thank you. the government is being accused of not delivering on its commitment to support and protect victims of trafficking and slavery. legal experts say the home office is legally bound to support victims through what is known as a "recovery period — which includes safe accommodation and an allowance for daily essentials like food and transport. but earlier this year, the financial support was cut from £65 a week tojust under £38. lawyers say victims who rely on that money are now struggling to afford basic items and are at risk of being exploited financially, sexually and emotionally once again. so today a hearing will take place at the royal courts ofjustice in london to consider whether the cuts are lawful. i've been speaking to two lawyers who are representing trafficking victims affected by the cuts.

the home office say although they are cutting the amount of weekly financial support, they are trebling the period of time that victims will receive financial support, i asked one of the lawyers, nusrat uddin, for her reaction to this. if you're trying to improve services by cutting the amount that they're actually supposed to live on per week is going to have a significant effect. our clients are no longer actually able to afford the basic things they need in order for their recovery, so if the purpose of the recovery period is to recover, then these cuts go against that and are completely contradictory to what the government are saying about having victims' welfare at the heart of their policies. you're representing another client

who we also aren't identifying, what can you tell us about your story? the client is a young victim of trafficking. as a child he witnessed the murder of his father and four siblings, he fled persecution and was trafficked en route to the uk he was trafficked en route to the uk he was subjected to the most severe forms of exploitation including sexual exploitation. when he arrived in the uk he was identified as a potential victim of trafficking and started receiving support under the national referral mechanism. until the 1st of march that comprised of £65 a week, from the 1st of march financial support was slashed by 40% without any risk assessment, prior consultation. what's the immediate impact, would you say? he is at risk of being re—trafficked? impact, would you say? he is at risk of being re-trafficked? why because the money has gone down? the money has gone down, this means expert evidence shows this increases his

vulnerability, he has already accrued debt of hundreds of pounds. he is at risk of being exploited, appliance operas from post—dramatic stress disorder, he has had multiple self harm attempts and a psychiatrist has bound the reduction in financial support has a period deteriorated his mental health sufficiently as the result of the cuts his more isolated tom he's not able to afford to attend counselling sessions. he cannot afford to come to my officers to meet. the purpose of the recovery period is being made redundant and we say the cuts are unlawful and quite frankly inhumane. theresa may promised a couple of yea rs theresa may promised a couple of years ago she would lead the way in defeating water and slavery. she put the promise? i don't think she is at all. i think increasingly it seems the system that is supporting the victims is not fit for purpose. all

these cuts show that it forces honourable victims to live on the edge of destitution. we had a case for example of a woman who had to go to hospital on saturday night, she took a taxi, paid £17, she is entitled to claim that money back but the cashier was closed until wednesday, she, it's just exemplifies a system that is hostile to big ins and us not make it easy for them to recover from the dramatic crimes. —— the victims. for them to recover from the dramatic crimes. -- the victims. we will let you know the outcome of that case and we are expecting the result before christmas. let's remind you about ella, who was

awarded at the pride of britain awards last night for cards she made to help other children get well. she's undergone kidney surgery and dialysis herself. she spoke about receiving her award from david beckham. i thought, wall, receiving her award from david beckham. ithought, wall, hejust came and said how are you. it went crazy. he gave you a mass of kabul, didn't he? he did. and you went round, the child ren's didn't he? he did. and you went round, the children's hospital in manchester? great 0rmond. with the cards you made that raised all the money and handed them out to all the other young patients in the hospital. yes. he hold my hand and he said, let's give them children a ca rd he said, let's give them children a card and we did. ants we had to put ona card and we did. ants we had to put on a print and gloves to make sure we don't get dirt and staff on them. and we got a card and they said

thank you. and david beckham said look at the children smiling. and it was incredible. can't believe it. this text says little ella has me crying happy tears. this viewer says, it's dave, fought a fantastic little kiddie, puts everything into perspective, complaining and whingeing about trivial things. thank you to ella. quite a view fans of louis theroux, seen every single documentary he's done and ashley says louis theroux is the best in the business, legend, he should carry on making documentaries until he's old and grey. max is what a marvellously honest, diplomatic and sensible man louis theroux is, and goes on to say such a shame people
