young people killed in a car crash, which has left two others critically injured. it comes as the police force is being criticised over why it didn't find them sooner. our wales correspondent hywel griffith reports. a moment to honour three young lives. friends who went on a night out together and never made it home. darcy ross was 21, the same age as her close friend eve smith. they died alongside rafeljeanne, aged 24. it was one of his friends who arranged tonight's vigil. yeah, we were very close. got a lot of memories together. been through a lot of stuff together. friends for years. pretty much, we were like brothers. i just wish obviously we knew a lot sooner and was able to see through the trees so he was found

a lot earlier. could potentially saved him, maybe. the police say the car crashed early on saturday morning. it was found almost two days later after a member of the public spotted tyre tracks. the officers�* response is now the subject of an independent review. for now, feelings here are a mixture of grief, shock and some anger. there's also fear that more lives are still in the balance, as the car's two other passengers remain critically ill in hospital. the hundreds who came here tonight wanted to celebrate three lives lost and share in each other�*s sorrow. emotions are still raw here, with many questioning whether the police could have found their friends sooner. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff.

exclusive data obtained by the bbc shows police forces in england and wales are recording more cases of dogs being dangerously out of control — with more than 21000 offences last year. the number of dogs being seized is also going up, meaning police have had to spend millions on kennels and vet bills — as danny savage reports. whoa, whoa, whoa. the aftermath of a dog attack in london. police try and contain the animal with a fire extinguisher. but look at the strength in its pull. a 13—year—old child is being treated on the ground nearby. sirens. this is a growing problem in the uk. it was a cross between a rottweiler and a shar pei. it was behind the letterbox waiting for me. it heard me coming down the path and it was ready as soon as i lifted that lid of the letterbox, the snout was there. didn't see the snout, i wasn't expecting it,

but it was there and it was a clean bite. sarah king started 2022 with ten fingers. she finished it with nine. still hurts, very numb, very sensitive. there's things i can't do. holding your phone, your mobile, you actually use your full handspan. little things, definitely, it has affected me. it feels like that training dogs is of growing importance. clever boy, yes! this dog is not a dangerous animal, but more than 20,000 dog attacks on people or assistance dogs were reported last year and the number of dangerous dogs seized has soared over the last few years. at the moment, if you've got money, you can have a dog. simple as. there's no kind of safeguards, there's no checks done. and basically, i think that's part of the problem. looking back in retrospect, could have been my throat. janet was attacked by two

of her neighbour's dogs. pictures of her injuries at the time are too graphic to show. nearly a year on, she has to do physio and is expecting more operations on her arm. they were with their owner, so it was a big surprise and a big shock to be attacked. and i didn't realise how much damage a dog can do in seconds. just especially you don't see it coming. dangerous dogs are a growing problem and all too often animals are left to bite again with little meaningful action taken against owners. danny savage, bbc news. in recent years, people around the world have lost hundreds of millions of dollars to online romance scams. one of the most lucrative of these, being run by criminal gangs across south east asia, is called the "pig butchering romance scam".

as the name suggests, the scammers refer to their victims as pigs, whom they fatten up to be butchered — or conned, out of as much money as possible. a bbc world service investigation has spoken to former scammers. a warning that this report from zhaoy—een fung contains scenes some viewers may find disturbing. whisper a plea for help. translation: i'm a chinese man trapped in a scam - compound in cambodia. didi, not his real name, left china for the promise of a well—paid job. instead, he was trafficked to cambodia, locked up in a compound and forced by criminal gangs to carry out an online romance scam known as pig butchering. translation: i'm recording this video secretly _ from inside the bathroom. in the scam, victims are known as pigs. scammers use fake online profiles to groom them before tricking them to invest

in fake financial exchanges. didi worked 12 hour days targeting people in america and europe under the constant threat of violence. translation: someone in my team made a mistake today. _ he was beaten up in front of everyone, then dragged out of the office. videos shared with the bbc by activist networks show the type of violence didi witnessed is common in scam compounds. he's a former scam boss. he's wearing a mask to avoid reprisals from criminal gangs. he says he made hundreds of thousands of dollars running a scam operation, even writing a guide for other scammers to follow, but that he now regrets his actions. translation: the pig butchering scam is all about using emotions. _ that's how you win their trust. the profiles we make up are always very handsome, rich,

responsible and caring. it was a profile just like this that cindy fell for. the scammers stole the identity of an innocent social media influencer from south korea to target her with. jimmy came at a time when i was the mostl vulnerable in my entire life. cindy is a successful businesswoman based in boston in the us. at the time she was going through a divorce and had just found out she had terminal cancer. jimmy would message me every day. if i was sad in my— interactions with my husband, he was always there. when my husband and i had decided that we were going to divorce, - that's when it switched to much more of a romantic relationship. _ after seducing cindy, jimmy tricked her into investing more than $2 million

on a fake cryptocurrency platform. despite the large amount that i'd i lost, i actually believe that i've i been luckier than most. i've given the scammers enough of my time. - i've given enough of my money, and i absolutely refuse to give l them who i actually am. after four months in captivity, didi managed to escape and make it back home to china. we approached the owner of the compound where didi was being held for common, but he did not respond. hundreds of gangs continue to carry out the pig butchering scam from compounds across east asia, targeting people all over the world. zhaoy—een fung, bbc news.

more on that story on our website. prime minister's questions is coming up prime minister's questions is coming up in the next half an hour i'm joined now by our political correspondent damian grammaticas. on the government's changes on immigration. it is a subject where labour are at something of a different advantage? the indications are the centres _ different advantage? the indications are the centres that _ different advantage? the indications are the centres that labour - different advantage? the indications are the centres that labour may - different advantage? the indications l are the centres that labour may want to seize on this so that in a way, they're not seen to be shying away from the issue. you're absolutely right, the labour leader has a bit of a difficulty here because the

government was taking this decision, saying it's going to stop the boats and it's got its legislation coming forward have all the measures. some pretty controversial in there and a lot of questions about that but the government clearly sees to try to tackle the crossings, with 40,000 people coming last year, up to double that perhaps this year. the government maxi is a political issue that it can push to try to differentiate itself from labour to appeal to a corps of voters that it's trying to hold onto or tracked back to the conservatives, who it believes will find in this message that it's being strung on borders. we had the home secretary said today she doesn't want people to jump the queue, the government is keen to

stake out that decision. labour have a trickyjob because the government's attack, labour or tribes to say it has a tough decision but it more workable one. it believes the government's approach won't work, there is no them back to, that will mean rising numbers of people being held here and an even more grand up system. it's a tricky balance of the labour leader. it will be interesting to see how this one plays out. it could be any subjects _ see how this one plays out. it could be any subjects the _ see how this one plays out. it could be any subjects the prime - see how this one plays out. it could be any subjects the prime ministerl be any subjects the prime minister focuses on. are there any other areas, for example is there any concern in the parliamentary party about the winter agreement? this

parties feel, aside from this issue about boats and migrants crossing the channel for asylum, what other areas, big areas of concern they might see advantage in trying to press on and certainly the cost of living crisis, the current inflation and economic pressures that be are feeling in their daily lives. that is something that mps might see value in them talking about. thank ou ve value in them talking about. thank you very much- _ value in them talking about. thank you very much. we _ value in them talking about. thank you very much. we haven't - value in them talking about. thank you very much. we haven't got - value in them talking about. thank l you very much. we haven't got much to wait, the prime minister is limbering up for his first appearance. ijust want i just want to show our guests and viewers this in the daily telegraph.

europe, the numbers escalating to the extent they are, we have brought forward new plans because we are determined to ensure that this remains a compassionate and generous country, that that is done fairly and legally. that is why we will break the criminal gangs, mr speaker. we have announced new agreements with albania and france, tougher immigration enforcement and now you legislation that makes it clear that if you come here illegally, you will be detained and swiftly removed. mr speaker, what we have not heard is the honourable gentleman's plan. we know what it is, it is open door immigration and unlimited asylum also whilst he may be on the side of the people smugglers, we are on the side of the british people. if smugglers, we are on the side of the british people-— british people. if he were serious about stopping — british people. if he were serious about stopping the _ british people. if he were serious about stopping the boats, - british people. if he were serious about stopping the boats, he - british people. if he were serious i about stopping the boats, he would british people. if he were serious - about stopping the boats, he would a chilly steal our plan on stopping the boats, smash gangs, sort out the returns and a clean—up the utter

proved me right. he should be apologising, not gloating. the prime minister says they will detain people who are not eligible to claim asylum here and then returned them. well, they already dry that under the last legislation. last year, 18,000 people were deemed ineligible to apply for asylum, that is the easy bit, but as for the action, prime minister, how many of them have a chilly been returned? mr speaker, as a result of the plans we brought forward, we have almost doubled the number of people returned this year but he talks about laws,... i returned this year but he talks about laws,...— returned this year but he talks about laws,... i think the front bench needs _ about laws,... i think the front bench needs to _ about laws,... i think the front bench needs to be _ about laws,... i think the front bench needs to be a _ about laws,... i think the front bench needs to be a little - about laws,... i think the front i bench needs to be a little quieter and i_ bench needs to be a little quieter and i want — bench needs to be a little quieter and i want to hear and don't need you joining — and i want to hear and don't need you joining in. and i want to hear and don't need youjoining in. our and i want to hear and don't need you joining in. our constituents want _ you joining in. our constituents want to— you joining in. our constituents want to hear the importance of prime minister's _ want to hear the importance of prime

agreements with india, pakistan, serbia, nigeria and crucially, now with albania, where we are returning hundreds of people. our position on this is clear. if you arrive here illegally, you will not be able to climb asylum here. you will not be able to access the modern slavery system and you will not be able to make spurious human right claims. that is the right thing to do but he is simple going on and on about process, hiding behind process because he doesn't want to confront the substance. we at the party of fairness and he represents the party of free movement. i fairness and he represents the party of free movement.— of free movement. i thought he was su osed of free movement. i thought he was supposed to — of free movement. i thought he was supposed to be _ of free movement. i thought he was supposed to be a — of free movement. i thought he was supposed to be a man _ of free movement. i thought he was supposed to be a man of _ of free movement. i thought he was supposed to be a man of detail. - of free movement. i thought he was supposed to be a man of detail. he| supposed to be a man of detail. he has gone all that lengths to avoid the detail. he knows the answer to the detail. he knows the answer to the question, less than 1% of those arriving by boat have been processed. he shakes his head. it is the government's statistic. on his watch, processing of those boat

cases has gone from unacceptable in his words to almost nonexistent. doesn't that tell you everything you need to do? after 13 years, small boat crossings, higher than ever. claims, unprocessed. the taxpayer paying for hotel rooms, kernel gangs running all the way loving to the bank and an asylum system that is utterly broken on his watch. this is their fifth utterly broken on his watch. this is theirfifth prime utterly broken on his watch. this is their fifth prime minister, utterly broken on his watch. this is theirfifth prime minister, their six immigration plan, their seventh home secretary and after all this time, all the other is the same old gimmicks and empty promises. i don't agree with the home secretary on very much but when she says that the tories are all talk and no action, she is spot on, isn't she? mr speaker, illegal immigration enforcement, op. the amount of people processing claims, app. the

backlog is down, the number of returned agreements is down. hundreds of people returned to albania and now new laws to detain and deter illegal migrants. it is clear what we stand for, we are doing what is right, acting with compassion, acting with fairness and we are acting to respect the law and borders of our country. we are delivering what we said and it is crystal clear listening to this that is going to be the conservatives and only the conservatives that stop the boats. . . . . only the conservatives that stop the boats. , . ,., only the conservatives that stop the boats. , . ., ., only the conservatives that stop the boats. . .,.,, boats. graphic lessons on oral sex, how to choke _ boats. graphic lessons on oral sex, how to choke your _ boats. graphic lessons on oral sex, how to choke your partner- boats. graphic lessons on oral sex, how to choke your partner safely i boats. graphic lessons on oral sex, i how to choke your partner safely and 72 genders. this is what passes for relationship and sex education in british schools. across the country, children are being subject to lessons that are age inappropriate, extreme, sexualising and inaccurate, often using resources from unread gated organisations that are

in your recollection of the events, at the time he missed the boat is due to religious pressure and you sort the decision to skip the vote. his recollection is very different to my recollection. he is the leader... i'm answering honestly. he is the leader of the rival party, he spent most of his time attacking the snp. i have said in 2014 when i was asked, quite rightly why was not the vote. i voted at stage one. the important point is that anyone can read my track record. i have voted for marriage with support to protect. whether it was the extension of hate crime legislation, towards lgbt community. most recently, supporting the gender recognition reform. to make that life a little bit easier for our

trans community. my track record on equality is why so many in our communities are backing my campaign. so you did not ask the permission? i've answered this a hundred times p0p, i've answered this a hundred times pop, i did not ask permission to skip that vote. the business manager at the time has said very clearly a number of msps that raise concerns about the vote and i was not one of them because i voted for it at stage one. stage one is general principle, . let's talk about independence. you are very clear— . let's talk about independence. you are very clear in _ . let's talk about independence. you are very clear in that _ . let's talk about independence. you are very clear in that debate - . let's talk about independence. you are very clear in that debate last - are very clear in that debate last night after the process that would be required. the permission that is needed for you to hold a second independence referendum. what's going to change with between the current situation and what you might

today at one — heated clashes in the commons in the last hour over the government's new plan to stop illegal migration to the uk on small boats. labour said the government is all talk on the issue and no action — but rishi sunak claimed only the conservatives can stop the boats. it's clear what we stand for, mr speaker. we are acting with compassion, fairness and to respect the law and order of our country. this is their fifth prime minister, their six immigration plan, their seventh home secretary, and after all this time, all they offer is the same old gimmicks and empty promises. the bbc says it will have a "frank conversation" with star presenter gary lineker after he said the language used to launch

the government's asylum policy was "like 1930s germany."
