good morning. welcome to bbc news. here are your headlines at nine o'clock. the met police are facing fresh questions after photos emerged of the prime minister drinking at a leaving do in downing street during lockdown — but he was�*t fined for it. he wasn't fined for this event, and as you can see he's raising a glass and he seems to be saying cheers and thank you to a member of staff as he left the office that day. the government are preoccupied by boris _ the government are preoccupied by borisjohnson's political the government are preoccupied by boris johnson's political survival. they _ boris johnson's political survival. they are — boris johnson's political survival. they are paralysed by inaction. what difference do the latest photos make to you? boris johnson wasn't fined for raising a glass at one of his aide�*s leaving do's during the second lockdown. number 10 say it was a work event.

what did you do for colleagues who were leaving when the country was in lockdown? @vicderbyshire on tiktok, twitter and instagram. the uk's withdrawal from afghanistan was a "disaster" and a "betrayal", according to an inquiry conducted by mps. images china doesn't want you to see — hacked data passed to the bbc shows the detention and indoctrination of uyghur muslims. all police officers in england and wales are to be given anti—racism training as part of plans to tackle discrimination. and spanning over 100 kilometres from reading to essex, the elizabeth crossrail line finally opens — more than three years later than scheduled.

the met police are facing fresh questions after photos emerged of the prime minister drinking at a gathering in downing street during lockdown. but this is an event that borisjohnson was not fined for attending. it happened in november 2020 — at a time when indoor social mixing was banned in england. a report into such gatherings by the senior civil servant, sue gray, is expected to be published this week. 0ur political correspondent helen catt reports. leaving drinks for a senior downing street aide with bottles of wine, food and what appears to be a toast from the boss. this was on 13th november 2020 when the country was in lockdown, indoors socialising banned. it's understood at least one of the people who went to this gathering was fined by the police. the prime minister was not, which has raised questions. i think millions of people will be sitting at home thinking if it was them or anybody else pictured at that party they would have received a fine, so unless the met police can provide

an urgent clarification as to why boris johnson wasn't fined, then the police watchdog need to step in and restore some transparency and public trust to this process. the met has previously said it wouldn't provide further details of its findings. downing street says the police had access to all the relevant information, including photographs. the prime minister thought it was a works event. the metropolitan police thought it was a works event. therefore it was a works event. no, you might want it to be a party, but unless you're going to say that the prime minister is not telling the truth and the met police aren't telling the truth it wasn't a party. others don't agree and say the pictures cast doubt on what the prime minister has said in parliament, like this in december last year. will the prime minister tell- the house whether there was a party at downing street on 13th november? speaker: prime minister. mr speaker, no, but i'm sure, whatever happened, the guidance and the rules were followed

at all times. i don't think this is good enough, regardless of party, that the prime minister it appears has misled parliament. we can allow this to come out in the sue gray report. we can allow the police to do more commentary on it. we can allow the privileges and status committee to look at it. but why put us through all that agony? if mrjohnson will not resign over this, then i think the tory mps have to bring him down. a handful of tories have publicly criticised these photos. a more telling reaction is likely to come to the long—awaited report by the senior civil servant sue gray. she is expected to publish in the next couple of days. downing street has said boris johnson will address parliament in full once that happened. will this then be the week when some of those details that have been under wraps for months finally see the light of day? helen catt, bbc news, westminster. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming.

he is at downing street. what difference to these photos make? i’m difference to these photos make? i'm not sure difference to these photos make? i“n not sure they make a huge amount of difference. if you're angry with borisjohnson and have been angry at him for the last year, you've now got visual proof to go with the news reports on the apologies. if you're the opposition parties trying to get tactical advantage, the opposition parties trying to get tacticaladvantage, it the opposition parties trying to get tactical advantage, it gives you some more ammunition, for example the lib dems reporting the met police that the police watchdog to get them to investigate why boris johnson wasn't fined. if you're one of the prime minister's allies, you say this photo makes the case that the prime minister thought he was at work and that's what grant shapps was doing this morning. well, it's certainly a leaving event. his part in it, though, will have been fully investigated by the police. as we know, he wasn't fined for this event, and as you can see he's raising a glass and he seems to be saying cheers and thank you to a member of staff as he left the office that day. but, as i say, i don't seek to defend it,

because he doesn't either. and he's reformed number 10, brought in a new office of the prime minister, brought in a permanent secretary to that office to look after all of the running of number 10, which is what should've been happening all along. as has often happened as the story has unfolded, the focus moves away from what happened in downing street and onto others. so, the lib dems have asked the independent police watchdog to look at why boris johnson wasn't fined and sadiq khan, the labour mayor of london, who is the labour mayor of london, who is the police and crime commissioner overseeing the met police, has called for transparency from them the decision—making. as the police and crime commissioner and a labour politician, i've assiduously stayed well away from this investigation. notjust because it's an operational matter that the police should investigate, butjust imagine if a politician from one party was getting involved in an investigation into his political opponent. so, i've not asked questions about this,

i've kept away from this. but i think it's important, when it comes to trust and confidence, when it comes to policing by consent, when it comes to questions being asked about the integrity of an investigation, that the police explain why they've reached the conclusions they have. and just like you, i suspect, yesterday was the first time i saw the photograph of boris johnson raising a glass, clearly bottles of wine lying around, others with wine in their hand, on a day when he said in the houses of parliament, and i speak as a former parliamentarian, and i know the importance of not lying or misleading in the house of commons, that there wasn't a party. so, you know, of course sue gray will publish a report this week, and of course the prime minister will have to answer for himself. but i think the police should explain why they reached their conclusions and provide that clarity. as you can see, ministers in their

vehicles arriving for the regular meeting of the cabinet, riding in downing street potentially as soon as tomorrow could be sue gray's report into all of those claims of lockdown busting parties in downing street and whitehall. long—awaited, to put it mildly. if that does arrive tomorrow then the prime minister will decide what time it is published and then that will pave the way to go into parliament to do a statement to mps and maybe even a televised press conference where he can take questions from journalists and his friends and allies hope that will finally put to bed the story that's become known as partygate. we can speak to the conservative mp david simmonds. i think we can talk to david simmons hopefully, if he's got a microphone and i've got a microphone. can you hear me? i and i've got a microphone. can you hear me? .., and i've got a microphone. can you hear me? .. ., and i've got a microphone. can you hear me? ., i. and i've got a microphone. can you| hear me?_ good hear me? i can hear you find. good morninu. hear me? i can hear you find. good morning- you _ hear me? i can hear you find. good

what the culture was going on in downing street during lockdown. for those people who lost family members, including relatives, including my own, who died of covid, we want to know that the government is taking seriously the rules that required the rest of the country to follow. clearly, the sue gray report will give us we hope a lot more detail about what is going on, an indication of who was responsible for setting the culture that's caused so much public concern. it'll hopefully give us the opportunity to make a decision about the next steps. make a decision about the next ste s. �* , ., make a decision about the next stes. �* i. ., , make a decision about the next stes.�* ., , ., steps. are you really saying that ou steps. are you really saying that you haven't _ steps. are you really saying that you haven't made _ steps. are you really saying that you haven't made up _ steps. are you really saying that you haven't made up your- steps. are you really saying that you haven't made up your mind | steps. are you really saying that - you haven't made up your mind about your own prime minister yet? you we want to know that the government was taking the rules seriously. we know they weren't taking them seriously as the rest of the population. i think any fair—minded person would recognise someone who is accused of something needs to be able to defend themselves and clearly we've seen an ongoing process that the prime minister has accepted he broke the law and has paid a fine. now we have

other evidence coming forward. we need to see all of the context. i spent many years as a magistrate seeking to make judgments and spent many years as a magistrate seeking to makejudgments and i know it's important that we get both sides of the story so a balanced judgment can be made and that's what i'm going to do and i'm sure many colleagues want to do that too. it seems you're setting a different level of proof when it comes to breaking the law during lockdown for your prime minister and others. no one else was given a chance to give an explanation, if they were breaking the rules, if they breached the laws, they were fined. why are you giving your prime minister a after chance after chance? maw; after chance after chance? many constituents _ after chance after chance? many constituents who _ after chance after chance? many constituents who paid _ after chance after chance? many constituents who paid fines - after chance after chance? ij�*ia�*iy constituents who paid fines clearly want to know what the full context was and of course those who felt the fine imposed on them was unfair, that in fact it was unfair and to have that due process. so everyone

is entitled to that. there are more people involved than just the prime minister, a lot of people who worked in downing street. that's why it's important for us to be fair about it and say let's get the facts out in the public domain. 0nce we've seen that, we can make a judgment. it's a very serious situation, the prime minister needs to take responsibility but i want to know the full picture before i make my final decision on what i think the next step should be and i think most colleagues will have said to their constituents that that was the right way forward. constituents that that was the right way forward-— way forward. thank you for talking to us this morning, _ way forward. thank you for talking to us this morning, david - way forward. thank you for talking i to us this morning, david simmons. it would seem that the sue gray report is expected potentially tomorrow. the bbc has been given a huge amount of hacked data including thousands of photographs from the heart of china's highly secretive system of mass incarceration of

uyghurs and other minorities in xinjiang region. they include evidence of a shoot—to—kill policy for those who try to escape. the foreign secretary, liz truss, called the data "shocking" and renewed her call for the un human rights commissioner to be given access to the area. john sudworth reports. these are the faces china never intended us to see, from inside its system of mass incarceration in xinjiang. the government has long denied it's running detention camps for uyghurs, insisting instead they are vocational schools for willing students. the photos, almost 3,000 of them, show the reality of how whole swathes of uyghur society have been swept up person by person. the oldest was 73 at the time of her detention. the youngest, just 15. the uyghurs, with their turkic language, islamic traditions and roots in a region with a history of separatism and violence

have long faced cycles of tightening government control. and with mounting criticism over the camps, the authorities have taken journalists on tours, showing them uyghurs celebrating their culture and, they say, being guided away from extremism. yes, this is classified internal government information. the files, said to have hacked from police computer service in xinjiang by a source whose identity is unknown, were first passed to this xinjiang scholar who in turn shared them with the bbc and they raise serious questions about china's narrative. you have police officers in heavy riot gear standing next to some of the men. some of the men have their arms in a funny position as if they were handcuffed, so this is really very powerful. i was looking through these images on my laptop in the living room and had to get up and go somewhere else and take a break.

i was overwhelmed. the hacked files also contain hundreds of spreadsheets, row upon row of draconian jail sentences often targeting expressions of islamic faith, as a parallel method alongside the camps for detaining uyghurs en masse. just for growing a beard, this man was sentenced to 16 years injail. his chosen expression of uyghur identity forcibly removed. by speaking to members of the uyghur diaspora in places like turkey, the bbc has been able to verify the data, showing it to contain real people. this man for example knew his eldest son had beenjailed but the database tells him for how long. 15 years for terrorism offences. although as evidence, only has son's devout islamic faith is listed. in response to questions,

the chinese embassy in the us issued a statement, saying in the face of the grave and complex counterterrorism situation in xinjiang the authorities had taken a host of decisive, robust and effective deradicalisation measures so that people could live a safe, happy and fulfilling life, although there was no attempt to address any of the hacked data directly. it includes these images, once again from deep within the system that appear to offer further evidence of the harsh detention and indoctrination of a people, not for what they have done, but for who they are. the headlines on bbc news. the met police and borisjohnson are facing fresh questions after photos emerged of the prime minister drinking at a leaving do in downing street during lockdown. he wasn't fined for attending. images china doesn't want you to see — hacked data passed to the bbc shows the detention

and indoctrination of uyghur muslims. all police officers in england and wales are to be given anti—racism training as part of plans to tackle discrimination. the uk health security agency has detected 36 more cases of monkeypox in england. there's also one case in scotland, but none recorded in wales and northern ireland. the total uk number is now 57. health officials say monkeypox is generally mild and struggles to spread, and the overall risk remains low. we can talk to our medical editor fergus walsh. good morning. just remind our audience what monkeypox is. 50. good morning. just remind our audience what monkeypox is. so, it's audience what monkeypox is. so, it's a virus, audience what monkeypox is. so, it's a virus. it's — audience what monkeypox is. so, it's

easily and it's spreading now within the human population. how that spreads is close contact. what the human population. how that spreads is close contact. what does that mean. — spreads is close contact. what does that mean, fergus? _ spreads is close contact. what does that mean, fergus? does— spreads is close contact. what does that mean, fergus? does that - spreads is close contact. what does| that mean, fergus? does that mean having six with someone or kissing someone or holding their hand or coughing near them? someone or holding their hand or coughing nearthem? —— having someone or holding their hand or coughing near them? —— having sex. it doesn't have to be sex and it's not traditionally regarded as a sexually transmitted disease pots! involves close physical skin on skin contact, therefore it's one way in which you can pass this on. —— is not traditionally regarded as a sexually transmitted disease. . it is not airborne like covid but it can spread in coughs and sneezes but you really need to be up close and personal to somebody who has this virus. the chains of transmission, the number of people one person

would posit to is normally very short. it's not like covid, which spreads very easily and i keep stressing this isn't another covid. i think some pushback from gay and bisexual men on social media who say, can we have the facts about what the notable numbers are, which is the phrase the uk health security agency used, about prevalence out of the 57 cases. do we know how many cases identified involve gay and bisexual men, because otherwise it feels like it could be stigmatising. absolutely, and i've spoken to doctors, consultants at sexual health clinics who absolutely say we should not be stigmatising any group whatsoever. but the uk health security agency said a notable proportion, they wouldn't put a number on it, of cases in the current outbreak were among gay and

bisexual men. it was simply saying that that group should be alert to potential symptoms, that that group should be alert to potentialsymptoms, no that that group should be alert to potential symptoms, no more than that. this does not discriminate, this virus, it doesn't care what your ethnic background, what your age is, what your sexual orientation is, it's a virus. age is, what your sexual orientation is. it's a vim-— is, it's a virus. what are the symptoms _ is, it's a virus. what are the symptoms and _ is, it's a virus. what are the symptoms and how - is, it's a virus. what are the symptoms and how worried | is, it's a virus. what are the i symptoms and how worried or otherwise should people be? bearing in mind you said it's not another covid. i in mind you said it's not another covid. ~ �* , in mind you said it's not another covid. ~ �*, ,., covid. i think it's something in the term monkeypox _ covid. i think it's something in the term monkeypox which _ covid. i think it's something in the term monkeypox which has - covid. i think it's something in the i term monkeypox which has grabbed covid. i think it's something in the - term monkeypox which has grabbed the attention and it's understandable that people are sensitised after covid that we see this emerging. it's a disease that's been around a long time. after infection, the incubation period is somewhere between five and 21 days. the most notable symptom is a rash, which can be a bit like chickenpox, which then

goes through a cycle leading to blisters and finally scabs. it usually clears up within 2—4 weeks. the smallpox vaccine, smallpox of course has been eradicated, because it's from the same family of viruses, that vaccine is effective at preventing the infection and indeed some contacts of people who have been infected have been immunised and some sexual health clinic workers have been immunised as well. it can also be given just after you've been exposed to the virus, to minimise any consequences of being infected. i know that some staff, around ten staff at chelsea and westminster hospital's sexual health clinic, is currently self—isolating at home after treating one of the early cases. now

rather stringent ppe requirements have been put in place, now that this virus is circulating.— have been put in place, now that this virus is circulating. thank you very much. _ this virus is circulating. thank you very much, fergus. _ mps have delivered a scathing assessment of the government's evacuation of afghanistan last year. the foreign affairs committee said afghan allies and british soldiers had been let down by what they called "deep failures of leadership." their report accuses ministers of having a "total absence of a plan," and calls for the resignation of the foreign office's top civil servant, sir philip barton, who stayed on holiday as kabul fell. paul adams reports. the west's withdrawal from kabul was chaotic and for vast numbers of afghans desperate to leave, profoundly traumatic. it was also, mps say, a betrayal of britain's allies, a catastrophic failure of intelligence, diplomacy and planning. knowing that american forces were soon going to leave,

the report says the government failed to respond. well, it's clear that what we could have done really from 18 months out when the warning started is begun the really serious preparations, knowing who we needed to evacuate, planning on how we would get them out and where we would take them but instead i'm afraid that's not what happened. at a hearing last december, the foreign office's top civil servants struggled to explain why he and others, including the foreign secretary, stayed on holiday while kabulfell. i have reflected a lot since august on my leave and if i had my time again i would have come back from my leave earlier than i did. i did put in place, as i think you know, an acting permanent secretary in the normal way, but also a director—general to lead in power in afghanistan. today's report suggests mr barton should consider his position. it says many of the british officials and soldiers sent to try

and manage the terrible situation at kabul airport worked under enormous pressure. but it criticises what it calls misleading statements about the evacuation process, and says the leadership at the foreign office should be ashamed that two civil servants risked their careers to bring the situation to light. the foreign office defends its record. our staff works tirelessly, a spokesperson said, to evacuate over 15,000 people from afghanistan within a fortnight. this was the biggest uk mission of its kind in generations and followed months of intensive planning and collaboration between uk government departments. the report urges the government to commit to a serious strategy for dealing with afghanistan in the future. a failure to do that, it says, would abandon afghan women and girls to the biggest single reversal of rights in a generation. paul adams, bbc news.

sport in a moment. but first. the elizabeth line in london is carrying its first passengers this morning, £4 billion over budget and three and a half years late. when fully linked up, the crossrail project will run from reading in berkshire to shenfield in essex and abbey wood in south east london, via central london. let's speak to our transport correspondent, katy austin, in woolwich.

the whole point of this railway is to cutjourney the whole point of this railway is to cut journey times, the whole point of this railway is to cutjourney times, a 10% to the rail capacity in london and to boost the economy. it is about three and a half years late, it's gone over budget and is costing about £18.8 billion. we are now in a slightly different world to when crossrail was first designed. we had the pandemic, people were working from home more. the passenger number forecasts are below what they would initially have been. transport for london insists this new railway is still very much needed and it said it will actually transform the way people travel around london and the south—east and actually people be spoken to this morning say it will, in some cases, cut their commuting times by half. in some cases, cut their commuting times by half-— times by half. which is quite astonishing _ times by half. which is quite astonishing and _ times by half. which is quite astonishing and is _ times by half. which is quite astonishing and is the - times by half. which is quite astonishing and is the whole j times by half. which is quite - astonishing and is the whole purpose of it, really. what is it about a

from the bbc sport centre. good morning. edging closer aren't we to wimbledon next month, as the spotlght falls on the performances of our british players. five of them were in action yesterday on the clay at roland garros including us open champion emma raducanu who staged a french open fightback to reach the second round. the british number one making her debut in paris, as lydia campbell reports. it is exam season in the uk, and this time last year, emma was sitting her a—levels, but now far away from an exam hall in bromley, it is time for a test on the tennis court. linda noskova is a junior champion and she is much more experienced on the clay then emma, which showed as she took the first set on a tie—break. this was a battle of the teenage debutante, and raducanu was being brought to the brink of defeat at a set and a breakdown. but when she needed it, she called on all the talents that

won her the us open last year. a drop shot to tie the match. having had a victory in her hands, this was a blow to her opponent, and one that she couldn't overcome. raducanu dominating the decider. it is a test that she didn't quite ace, but passed all the same. in the men's draw, cameron norrie is a man informed. he won his second atp tour title of the season last week and now in paris, he was getting the best of the frenchman, after a slow start, he eased through straight sets and is one step closer to reaching week to have a grand slam for the first time. lydia campbell, bbc news. defending champion novak djokovic is also through after beating japan's yoshihito nishioka. the world number one won in straight sets. afterwards he said he supports the decision to strip wimbledon — the next grand slam this summer —

"the paradox of true strength is being able to face your weaknesses". dominic calvert—lewin talking about

his mental health struggles on social media. the bbc has learned the government is set to approve chelsea's sale today, although it "still has major hurdles to overcome" according to a source close to the deal. that's because roman abramovich has a portuguese passport. the takeover needs to be licensed by authorities in that country too. ministers are said to be in "intense discussions" with their counterparts at the european commission to provide them the assurances they need to approve the deal. the victory cigars were out for pep guardiola at yesterday's open top bus parade in manchester after city's dramatic final day victory over aston villa handed them them the title, pipping liverpool by a point. he looked much more relaxed, following the tears on sunday, the players were revelling in it. as were the fans who were out in their thousands. and across town there will be a familiar face in the opposing dugout alongside

the new manchester united manager next season as erik ten haag, promised to put the club back on top. he's appointed steve mclaren as his assistant. remember him? the former england manager who also worked alongside sir alex ferguson in a hugely succesful period. and ten haag says united can end city and liverpool's dominance, despite united finishing 35 points behind champions city. contrast that to life at the bottom, it's never easy when you're playing for your survival. stjohnstone currently of the premiership up againt inverness, who were looking to come up from the championship. the scores level from the first leg, it was stjohnstone who turned it on in the second half to retain their status. perhaps they pulled the cigars out. why not? time to celebrate. that is all from me, back to you, victoria. back now to the picture of borisjohnson at a gathering in downing street.

november 2020, england was second full lockdown at the time, pubs were closed, some schools were closed, there were really strict rules. let's talk to dominic grieve, former conservative attorney general. which means a top legal brain in the land, i suppose you could say. good morning. i want to read you this message from a viewer who has gotten touch, she says "i was furious before but if the police saw this and did nothing, i now know there are two laws in this country and some people are untouchable, which means troubles for the rest of us." do you agree? means troubles for the rest of us.

in which he appears to have popped in. he gave a mealy—mouthed answer when asked about it and told that no rules were broken, but he must have known this was a party and not a work event. its difficulty, leaving aside the police, and it is for them to explain the reasoning, is he has lied about this, and lying in parliament fundamentally undermines all the trust in democratic institutions in this country, it is very corrosive and very dangerous anti—torture resign, and the conservative party or two graduate of him if he does not, that they are so paralysed i doubt they will —— it is very corrosive and he ought to resign. is very corrosive and he ought to resin. ., , ., ., is very corrosive and he ought to resin. ., ., ., resign. for somebody to live a happy had deliberately _ resign. for somebody to live a happy had deliberately told _ resign. for somebody to live a happy had deliberately told and _ resign. for somebody to live a happy had deliberately told and untrue. - resign. for somebody to live a happy had deliberately told and untrue. he| had deliberately told and untrue. he was asked a guarantee month later whether there was a party in downing street in november 2020 and he said no —— he was asked to a year and a

antiracism. it's part of a new national plan to tackle discrimination against black people. the new measures have been announced by the national police chiefs' council and the college of policing, but campaigners say the plan falls our community affairs correspondent adina campbell reports. july 2020. this video of team gb athlete bianca williams and her partner went viral on social media, showing the moment they were stopped and searched by police in london. just two months before that, the murder of george floyd in the us led to the global resurgence of the black lives matter movement. and earlier this year, protests were held after the shocking case of child 0, the 15—year—old black girl who was strip searched by police at school without an appropriate adult present. the way black people are treated by police across the uk continues to raise serious questions. trust is broken. confidence is low. and these teenagers in east london

say they are scared. me personally, i think the word that comes to me is fear. i feel like even when you see videos of people sort of acting up or being aggressive towards the police, i feel it all stems from fear. they put a gun to our face. yeah, that's one of my second experiences with the police. my first experience was actually in oxford street. i was shopping. stopped and searched me. they let me go. i didn't do anything wrong. but today, senior police officers say they are committed to real change, with the announcement of a new national action plan to address racial inequality. we have launched today a plan specifically targeting black communities that recognises we are falling short and we are falling short because confidence is low right now. and, you know, there are many great things that police officers do. there is phenomenal work the police service does, but in this area, we've got to be honest and say we are not meeting the needs of communities. black people in england and wales are seven times more likely to be

stopped and searched compared with white people according to government figures. this new plan aims to address the disproportionate use of these powers as well as recruit more black officers to help rebuild trust in marginalised communities. but human rights campaigners aren't convinced by these new measures. their commitments made in the report are at complete odds with the announcements made by the government just last week, so the home secretary announced that the government would be creating new stop and search powers in the public order bill. it's expanding suspicion of stop and search in the police crime courts act. it's rolling out taser to volunteer police officers. these are exactly the powers and tools that disproportionately target and harass young black men. back in east london, there are still concerns over the pace of change in policing. i think because everyone tries to compare it to america, - we are seen as better or we're seen ias, "the police are not that bad".|

but just because we are not as worsej as america does not mean that we're still at the level it should be. the action plan will take shape over the coming months with more details expected at the end of the year. adina campbell, bbc news. a new national civil rights organisation has launched today. the black equity 0rganisation is founded by leaders from across different sectors including arts, social justice and business. one of those trustees is karen blackett. hello, karen, good morning. good morning, how are you? iloathed hello, karen, good morning. good morning, how are you?— hello, karen, good morning. good morning, how are you? what is this organisation — morning, how are you? what is this organisation therefore? _ morning, how are you? what is this organisation therefore? we - morning, how are you? what is this organisation therefore? we launchl morning, how are you? what is this| organisation therefore? we launch it toda , i'm organisation therefore? we launch it today, i'm literally _ organisation therefore? we launch it today, i'm literally in _ organisation therefore? we launch it today, i'm literally in a _ organisation therefore? we launch it today, i'm literally in a school- organisation therefore? we launch it today, i'm literally in a school in - today, i'm literally in a school in south london at the launch event, and essentially we are a new independent black civil rights

organisation, really created with the ambition to try to put a change and an end to and eradicate systemic racism, which unfortunately still exists in society. it is a group of individuals from different industry sectors to come together to represent, convene grassroots organisations as well as corporates to really try to make sure we have scaled to create change. it is to really try to make sure we have scaled to create change.— scaled to create change. it is a massive and — scaled to create change. it is a massive and laudable - scaled to create change. it is a. massive and laudable ambition, scaled to create change. it is a - massive and laudable ambition, in practical terms, massive and laudable ambition, in practicalterms, how massive and laudable ambition, in practical terms, how will you do it? we have spent the last two years researching, we have taken our time, spoken to individuals, spoken to the amazing organisations which already operated different parts of the ecosystem and we have identified the six core areas where iniquity exists

and where the focus needs to be, it is looking at programmes and partnerships in these areas, everything from economic empowerment, there are statistics talking about the ownership by black families of homes compared to white families of homes compared to white families of homes compared to white families of homes. it is everything from access to loans and mortgages through to the criminaljustice system of reform, your previous report talking about policing, i would correct one of the statistics, it is nine times more likely that somebody black will be stopped and searched and three times more likely they will be detained than a white person, it is not seven times, it is nine times. everything through to cultural representation, awareness and respect, education. less than 1% of secondary school teachers come from a black african black caribbean background. you are more likely to

be removed from school if you are from a black background as a young person. we have looked at the six core areas where we will be focusing on programmes and partnerships to really try to make sustainable change. really try to make sustainable chance. ., , ., really try to make sustainable chance. ., i. ~ ., really try to make sustainable chanle, ., y., 4' ., ,., change. how will you know if you have succeeded? _ change. how will you know if you have succeeded? one _ change. how will you know if you have succeeded? one of- change. how will you know if you have succeeded? one of the - change. how will you know if you j have succeeded? one of the core thins, have succeeded? one of the core things. this _ have succeeded? one of the core things. this is — have succeeded? one of the core things, this is what _ have succeeded? one of the core things, this is what anybody - have succeeded? one of the core| things, this is what anybody wants for any of their children and the reason why i am one of the founding trustees is because you really want the best for your kids, you want to make that generational shift, and anybody from any background should be able to really have hope and the opportunity to achieve what they want to without any obstacle, hurdles or bias, so there are macro measures we will be looking out, certain areas like the tracking of stop and search, are we seeing that change? measures like the number of

white households in homeownership versus black ownership and we will be looking at employment rates too, when you look at the unemployment rates i think it was last september, unemployment rates for black was 11% pared to 5% for indian and 11% for whites, so we will be looking at macro measures that will measure as we go along. this is not easy, it will take time but it is that convening power of everybody working together because if we can sort this, everyone benefits. i together because if we can sort this, everyone benefits.- this, everyone benefits. i have interviewed — this, everyone benefits. i have interviewed you _ this, everyone benefits. i have interviewed you before, - this, everyone benefits. i have interviewed you before, you i this, everyone benefits. i havel interviewed you before, you are this, everyone benefits. i have i interviewed you before, you are a very successful business woman with many achievements to your name. i understand you are the boss of a particular business group. i want to ask you about leading, you are a leader. a further 83 fines issued to people in your organisation, you the top of it, how would you respond ——
