too many people are getting stabbed and dying. —— what the government have office rs informed policing to ensure that you have officers assisting these people and not trying to scare them into has done. the minister mentioned submission to drop the knives, but about extra resources, a change in ina lot submission to drop the knives, but in a lot of ways, caring for them, the law, and i support knife crime because a lot of them should be seen orders. what i haven't got is a as patients not just because a lot of them should be seen as patients notjust prisoners. ca ta lyst orders. what i haven't got is a leroy logan there. catalyst to pull it together, and it this story has generated a lot needs a leader, someone who will of interest on social media. say, what are the police doing, what inspector simon hardwick from plymouth was watching are other agencies doing, how can leroy logan said "we have to embrace you get the charities to work a culture change to together? if it is not treated as a protect the vulnerable." crisis, it will take another two but tweeter brian havers asks "why doesn t london s mayor take a lesson from new york where their policy yea rs before we of zero tolerance of all crime has helped clean up the city and lower crisis, it will take another two years before we see action. you are the incidence of all crime?" talking about, i hate the expression, a knife tampon. talking about, i hate the expression, a knife tamponi meanwhile a user calling themselves talking about, i hate the expression, a knife tampon. i hate the word tsar, my term as a leader, ‘queen of hearts‘ said "i hope that you need someone the word tsar, my term as a leader, you need someone who has a job that 1.6 billion pot of cash that has is to do it day after day. police become available to be dispersed between the midlands and north england would be spent officer? it might be, just getting on managing violent crimes." 46 police forces working together is a challenge. if you are going to attack the cocaine market, as i turning to a different story. more than 40 mps have argue in dispatches tonight... on signed an amendment to the financial services bill channel 4. the argue in dispatches tonight... on channellt. the big argue in dispatches tonight... on channel 4. the big thing we brought out is that there is a 93% rise, a requiring the crown dependencies —

doubling as reported earlier, in that'sjersey, guernsey and the isle of man — five years in the number of young to reveal the ultimate owners people under the age of 18 who have of assets based in the islands. the dependencies' governments have all outlined their opposition the plans. been stabbed, a terrifying conservative mp andrew mitchell told statistic, together with the fact radio 4 why he thought the change was important. that we have seen so many young people losing their lives. something has to change. something like £90 billion are sir bernard hogan—howe. home office minister laundered or misused through the uk victoria atkins defended government family, that's the overseas efforts to tackle knife crime, saying the government already territories, crown dependencies and has a plan in place. london. that's more money than goes we can't begin to imagine the pain into the whole of africa from all that their parents are going international investment and from all aid through, but we have been working international investment and from allaid ina 110w international investment and from all aid in a year. so we really must through, but we have been working now for the last year on tackling tackle this. this is the way to do it. britain has shown huge lead in serious violence, and we have both this area, it is a very good example of global britain, and we do expect short—term and long—term measures to the crown dependencies to come into tackle this. but what it is line. it's what parliament wants to see, not what the government wants to see, which is odd, isn't it? the important to realise is that this is government is responding to heavy not simply about arresting a way out pressure from the three crown of this, we need to stop young people from carrying knives in the dependencies, and i understand that, but the people who support the first place, and stop them from causing this terrible, terrible measure are all across the house of

harm. victoria atkins. the government is launching a fund which it says will help some commons, they represent former international development secretary of england's least well—off towns. is, at least three chairman of the the £1.6 billion will be made available to boost employment public accounts committee down the yea rs. public accounts committee down the years. it is a very clear reform, and training opportunities. more than half of that will go to the north of england and the midlands. and parliament will want to see the labour has called the stronger towns government insist that an order in fund a "desperate" brexit bribe. council is introduced if, as i say, our assistant political editor, the territories don't decide to do it themselves, which i hope they norman smith, is at westminster. will. and the effect of it is, you talked i suppose everything at the moment about an open register, the effect is seen through the prism of brexit. is that in layman terms it would be sure, and although mrs may is this possible for anyone, lehman, morning saying that there money journalist, but in fact anyone, who wa nted journalist, but in fact anyone, who wanted to see who owned a company reflects a commitment she made when based in one of these places who she became prime minister to try and actually was behind it, whose money help those communities which haven't was, to see easily at the click of a really shared in the benefits of computer keyboard, who it was? growth, there is no getting away from it, everyone accepts it is also that's right. if they own 25% of the money designed to meet the demands company. it breaks open this secret of those labour mps and labour ownership which allows so much money supporting constituencies in the to be money laundered. i don't want in any way to suggest that the three north and midlands who have pretty much said to mrs may, after talks crown dependencies aren't doing their best to tackle this, because with ministers, you need give our they are. but without that openness, communities some cash to regenerate

oui’ communities some cash to regenerate our towns if you want to have our frankly, the efforts of governments around the world are hobbled, and thatis around the world are hobbled, and that is why it has to happen. des support in the brexit vote. and although the amount of money that is margaret hodge, the labour leader on being set aside has been dismissed this amendment, and she and i have by many of them this morning, 1.6 billion over seven years, so, you visited all three territories over know, a comparatively small amount the last couple of months, we had of money each year, nevertheless the very good meetings with ministers package does meet some of their concerns, it is money which is going to towns which have you know, lost and practitioners there, and we their main employer, rehearsed all the arguments, but de—industrialised towns, coastal neither dame margaret nor i heard anything to suggest that parliament communities, rather than the big wasn't absolutely right to insist on this change. andrew mitchell there. let's take a quick look at what you are reading and watching on the bbc‘s website. cities, because traditionally this regeneration cash goes towards urban deprivation. it is also cash towards specific projects, specific transport and infrastructure projects. in other words, transport and infrastructure trevor noah is in a lot of trouble projects. in otherwords, it transport and infrastructure projects. in other words, it is not going to the town halljust to with people on social media about buttress their budgets. and it is also money which is being allocated his comments on the rising tensions between india and pakistan. he has ona also money which is being allocated on a new needs basis, so going apologise now for the jokes that he around the traditional local made. he is being accused of being racist and insensitive, accusing him of mocking the war or possible government settlement formula. so

that meets all their concerns, and of course it has punted accusations that it of course it has punted accusations thatitis of course it has punted accusations that it is no more than a bribe to danger of war through a bollywood get them to back brexit, something the communities secretary, james brokenshire, dismissed this morning. stereotype. so the line that he this funding is there regardless of the outcome, delivers was that a war between the but obviously we want to see two countries would be the most a deal happening, we believe that is what is in the best interests of our country, entertaining, adding it would also be the longest war of all time, but no, there is no conditionality in that sense. this funding is there to see these towns grow and that we're actually another dance number, hence the looking at what we need to do, which is seeing those bollywood references. he did areas really prospering, apologise, as i say, saying that he and actually following through on what the prime minister has really believed in, that sense of leaving no part explains his comedy process, for of our uk behind and how this will help support that. example that he uses comedy to process pain and discomfort, and he pointed out that he had even made at the same time, i think we will jokes about his mother being shot in probably hear later this week moves by the government to offer the head. but he did then say i'm guarantees about future employment rights, environmental rights in the sorry this hurt you and others, uk once we leave the eu, to match that's not what i was trying to do. existing eu rules, and also to allow so what else have we got on there? the ted baker story we have parliament to vote on, if you like, obviously been covering, and the improving rules in line with eu police conspiracy to rape, those standards, designed to get labour mps on board. there are probably 20,

maybe 30, who are in the market to allegations from victims. let's look at this turtles and taught us his story. philippine police found 1500 back mrs may, and they will probably be necessary, because i suspect there are probably about 20 tory brexit reviews next will not back turtles a nd mrs may. obviously, it is heating story. philippine police found 1500 turtles and tortoises in duct tape, they came out of luggage opened in up, going to what will be in a deal, they came out of luggage opened in the arrivals area of manila airport after a flight from hong kong. the the attorney general off to brussels police are saying they think that again tomorrow. now the telegraph is what happened is that they were abandoned after the carrier found reporting he has abandoned plans to out about harsh penalties for time—limit the irish backstop. reporting he has abandoned plans to time-limit the irish backstop. may be, the short answer is i don't illegal wildlife trafficking, you know, it is certainly true that the are probably aware that turtles and tortoises are seen as an aphrodisiac eu have repeatedly and consistently by some people in east asia, and said, you are not going to have a time limit, michel barnier reiterating that on saturday, with that their bones are ground up for medicinal use. anyway, they are an interview in the german newspaper handed over to wildlife specialists, developed. talking to folk in downing street, they seem to be those 1500 turtles and tortoises, a p pa re ntly those 1500 turtles and tortoises, apparently they were worth about implying that mr cox is planning on £60,000. and on the most watched, let's have a look at what you are the three avenues the government has looking at. that story about bame set out, a time limit, some

unilateral exit route and looking for the introduction of alternative girls less likely to get the hpv arrangements. i think what he will jab, and we will be talking about come up with is a little bit of that in a moment. let's take a look everything without being at the story that is third, the particularly specific on anything. inside the spacex dragon capsule, then the question is whether tori brexiteers will bite, and there are this went up, the falcon rocket went definite signs they are softening, up this went up, the falcon rocket went up on saturday morning, and then and if the attorney general comes docked with the international space station, and there is one of the back, and he is a brexiteer and are astronauts inside the dragon viewed as independent minded, if he says, that is good enough, it will capsule, and you saw behind her a moment to go the dummy which was the get a number of them on board, only passenger on that flight, but of course you will be aware that although about 20 or so have concerns that go beyond the this is basically all about preparing a different mode of backstop, they are quite 0k transport to get into space, whether to the international space station concerns that go beyond the backstop, they are quite ok with no deal, they will never come on board, and that is why we are seeing these or ultimately to the moon and effo rts and that is why we are seeing these beyond. so just a efforts to say that a similar number or ultimately to the moon and beyond. sojust a little or ultimately to the moon and beyond. so just a little look inside the capsule, so worth having a look of labour mps will back the deal. at that if you have time. that's it for today's norman, i hope you are having a good morning briefing. let's move on. bowl of porridge every day this in a moment the sport week, you will need it! but first let's here's victoria derbyshire with what she's the fashion retailer got coming up in her ted baker says its founder programme at ten. and chief executive,

ray kelvin, has resigned following allegations of misconduct, including "forced hugging". mr kelvin had been on a voluntary good morning. we are meeting some leave of absence since the claims women who they say they are on birth came to light in december, strike. they say they are too scared when employees launched to have children because of what an online petition accusing him of inappropriate comments they call ecological armageddon. 0ne and behaviour. ray kelvin founded ted baker in 1988 woman even remortgaged her home to pay for ivf, and was in the middle of treatment when she decided she and denies the allegations. couldn't bring a child into the world. we will also talk to former our business presenter 0lympian sharon davies and get her dominic o'connell is here. reaction to comments that just fill us in on the story, it all kicked off in december, didn't it? transgender women shouldn't be allowed to compete against women in yes, the allegations originally surfaced in an enormous tarmac sport. we will also be talking to lizzie clark, tra nsgender anonymous petition from what was sport. we will also be talking to said to be ted baker staff, false lizzie clark, transgender referee. thank you, victoria. now a full round—up for the sport with holly. tugging, attempts to massage staff who did not want it, and a culture thank you. in the company that covered it up. liverpool managerjurgen klopp said it was about the culture of the he was "completely fine" with chasing manchester city, company as much as the individual. the timing is slightly surprising, who're a point clear at the top of the premier league after the merseyside he stood down on december 2016, the derby finished goalless. mo salah had probably the best chance, and liverpool striker roberto firmino found time to pose company appointed a law firm to run

for a picture with the baby an investigation which has not yet concluded, but this morning they of an everton fan. have said he is stepping down but klopp was not happy completely, not receiving any with his tactics being questioned after the match. severance completely, not receiving any severance pay, and the comments from the chairman made it pretty clear that it was related to the allegations against him and not for this we don't play playstation. do any other reason. and so how is the you think we didn't take enough company doing as a result? the share risks today? is that what you want price has done nothing, up about ask? that is a really disappointing 0.5%, it has been overshadowed. two question, because it is so easy, i weeks ago, it had a big profits tell the boys, we take more risk, we warning, they said they had lots of go for it. can you imagine, any unsold stock, and their value was down about 10%. the company says his drawer, saying that we didn't try to win? what is that? departure is not to do with the klopp says his team are still accounting issue but the ongoing on track, although he did seem momentarily rattled by an everton investigation. given that we don't ball boy at full time. was there a touch of sarcasm know what the investigation has concluded, it is rather odd that he in the way he clapped klopp off the pitch? should step down in advance of that. but maybe he has seen something about the preliminary brendan rodgers' return to the premier league investigations, he has decided he didn't go too well. cannot go on any further. and they they were a goal down to watford before this talk about the need to move on, the equaliser from jamie vardy that looked to have time to have new leadership, all the secured them a point. but it was snatched away in injury time by andre gray, things companies say in times like

although rodgers wasn't too this. coming back to the point you made about the culture that allowed things to go on, you know, obviously concerned. this all happened in the wake of the me too tidal wave sweeping across yes, i loved every minute of it. europe and north america it's been a great week particularly — how do you see that working with the players. and i said to them, whatever the result was going to be today, in the world of business now, where are we? it is very interesting, of course, i want to be able to see that spur and intensity, because rather like in the harvey weinstein we've onlyjust come together. case, although we are not saying and i've seen that, and it's a great there is anything like that with ted opportunity now to go forward and build on some of the good baker, we have a dominant chief points from today. executive who is the driving force behind a company, and that certainly was the case at ted baker, founded chelsea won 2—1 at fulham, jorginho with the winner. the company 32 years ago, a single fulham are still second from bottom. shopin the company 32 years ago, a single shop in glasgow has turned into an internationalfashion shop in glasgow has turned into an international fashion success, shop in glasgow has turned into an internationalfashion success, one of the view that it uk has had on the high street in recent years. and in the scottish cup, aberdeen he was still the driving force, so and rangers will need a replay to settle their quarterfinal tie the culture becomes all about that after it finished 1—1. person at the top, and when you have but inverness caley thistle are through — aaron doran an overly powerful chief executive, with an injury—time winner yes, culture can tend to go wrong. at dundee united to make it 2—1. an overly powerful chief executive, yes, culture can tend to go wrong] thanks, dominic. —— food for

the merseyside derby dominates the back pages, thought, thanks, dominic. two political activists who had and most of the opinion that long—term relationships with men liverpool should've done better. who turned out to be undercover "gone with the wind" police officers have told the bbc is the mirror headline, they believe senior officers making reference to at scotland yard should face charges of "conspiracy to rape". for decades, undercover officers spied on political groups, some of the women who were targeted the blustery conditions. argue that they were, in effect, sexually abused. the metropolitan police has paid compensation to seven women "blown it", says the daily mail, and apologised but says the undercover officers' behaviour was not authorised. "as liverpool's title lisa, a committed environmental activist, met undercover officer mark kennedy in 2004. tilt veers off course". she's been speaking to bbc wales. the thing that also makes me and "derby day deadlock" is the daily express headline, feel even more violated, with jurgen klopp insisting liverpool's title bid is "still alive". or most violated, is the fact that this deception, england's woman have completed a big win against india this relationship, this abuse in their first t20 match. wasn'tjust being perpetrated tammy beaumont top—scored with 62, by one person, it was the whole as they set their hosts a victory target of 161. police department, they only managed 119—6, it was who else was watching and england winning by 41 runs. listening and complicit in that. 0ne one of those targets. great britain enjoyed a brilliant there's more on that story

a bbc investigation has found those unfortunate, it can manifest the numbers of pupils taking itself into some pretty nasty language gcses has fallen by up to 50% since 2013 cancers. 5% of cancers are caused by in some areas of england. the all—party parliamentary group on modern languages it, penile cancer, in all cancer, called for cross—government action in a recovery plan head and neck cancers, cervical cancer being the most common. a lot published on monday. of disease is caused by this virus. the government says it's committed to increasing the proportion of pupils in england taking girls in the uk have received a language at gcse. vaccination against hpv since 2008. parents from some communities are reluctant to let their daughters the boys as of september 2019 will have the hpv vaccine, according to research by the bbc. also be protected. what we need to the jab is offered to girls in secondary schools focus on is also looking at this in across the uk, helping to protect against cervical cancer. terms of a long—term lens. we have public health england is calling on schools to work with parents to tackle the issue, an opportunity to present 5% of saying the work needs to be done to "help save the lives cancers by vaccinating boys and of children". girls, so we need to move away from shanae dennis reports. the sort of sexually charged issue it's not really something that, like, i've been told about, here and actually be thinking about like a lot of people in my community. most of the time it's like white people talknig about it. protection. so let's deal with that, there wasn't really anybody around to actually talk to. people were just saying get it. then. the kind of controversy surrounding it. because as we have reported this morning, some

schoolgirls across britain, communities are less likely to want like these students in bristol, their daughters to be inoculated. are offered the hpvjab in why is that? explain what the issue is, the inhibition. there is still a year8and year9. taboo that surrounds sexual activity in young people. so there can certainly be religious grounds for but health officials have noticed not having the vaccination as well. that girls from white backgrounds are much more likely to have the jab than girls from ethnic asi not having the vaccination as well. as i say, there is still that great minority backgrounds. i'm investigating why a need for education. this is a that is and why it matters. human papilloma virus virus that affects boys and girls, is a very common virus which affects men and women. in fact, over 99% of cervical cancer and we have got to overcome it. i cases are caused by the hpv virus. most people can be exposed com pletely and we have got to overcome it. i completely appreciate as parents it is very difficult to speak to your to the virus when they become sexually active. teenage son, your teenage daughter, about these issues, but the that is the reason why the vaccination is offered framing... one of the parents were to teenagers in school. so why wouldn't people want the jab? saying that she didn‘t want to have natalia, a motherfrom north london, did not want her 14—year—old that conversation at this time. the daughter to have the jab. inoculation is done quite young, isn‘t it? i think with the hpv vaccination also comes the conversation about sexual health also as well, and ijust didn't know inoculation is done quite young, isn't it? 12 or 13 years old, so hpv if i was ready to have being a sexually transmitted virus, that conversation yet, because it is one thing to give the best practice is to vaccinate the hpv vaccination, but what about all the other before young people become sexually

information that leads up to even getting the hpv vaccination? active, which is why that age has been chosen. and the problem for although a parent is consulted some parents is they don‘t want to about whether their child can think of their child being sexually have the jab, it is legally up active at 14 or 15, or 16 even? and to the child to make the decision. even if i decided that she can't in the vast majority of cases, young have this vaccination, people won‘t, but this is a if she then goes into school preventative tool that they are being given, this is a vaccination and changes her mind, that we can give to young people to that is ok for her to do so, and go ahead and have this prevent them going through the immunisation, needless suffering of cancers caused by this virus. and so turning back which i think is wrong. it doesn't require a parent, to the vaccination itself, and then but obviously we'd like parents to be on board as well, we will go back to the boys in a because it is about saving moment. is it 100% effective in the lives of your children. it's a safe vaccine, it's very, very effective, and if we keep our coverage high, clearing people of the risk? this is then we will protect the whole population. the hpv uptake in bristol an incredibly effective and incredibly safe vaccine. it has been is below average. administered in 2008 and girls in i met with some girls from city academy the uk. there is now a significant number of countries which vaccinate to find out their views on the hpv jab. at least girls, around 30 countries i don't know what's in it, i don't know what they're giving to you. now vaccinate boys as well. me, personally i wasn't told australia very much the leader in everything about it, terms of being proactive on so i don't think i would have been able to make my own decision about it.

vaccinating young people against much of the time, this virus. so, coming to the boys, when you look at the data, and you look at the students, then. this year, the initiative to it is because of misconceptions start vaccinating large numbers of so the idea that if my child has boys, but that also that the age of this, this implies they are then 12 or13? boys, but that also that the age of going to have sex because they need 12 or 13? that's correct, at the to have it before they have sex, same time. and have you seen any almost like a precursor to losing their virginity. research on whether the same well, that's not what it's for. innovations apply for parents or whether they are more or less relaxed about boys going for the many of the girls i spoke to wouldn't get the jab vaccinations? anecdotally there is evidence to suggest that boys without their parents‘ permission, so the question is, what more can be done to engage bounce, boys climb trees, there won‘t be that same barrier to parents to have conversations about sexual health and reduce the risk of girls immunising boys as there has been in from all backgrounds the past to immunising girls. that getting cervical cancer? said, we cannot rest on our laurels. it is incredibly important that we and after 9:30, still work hard to broadcast this we'll be joined by the director of the hpv and anal message that as parents, we have a cancer foundation. responsibility to protect our sons an islamic state fighter who married and daughters against the risk of the british teenager, shamima begum, has told the bbc that he wants to return cancer. thank you very much for to his native netherlands with his wife and child. coming in and explaining all of that to us. the couple met days after the teenager arrived amazon has pulled a number in syria to support is. of painted drinking glasses from sale following a bbc investigation into their safety.
