couple of points i absolutely agree with. one is that he is right, it is really scary, what is going on. can you imagine that somebody�*s private home has been accessed, whether it is outside come on top of the building, where children live, where those children are going to have to come back at some point and they are going to be petrified. i'm speaking from a police perspective, when we deal with victims, he talked about burglary, this was not a burglary because you have to prove intent and gain access to the building, but having dealt with thousands of victims of crime, that have had their house broken into, or they have had people outside, it is irrelevant whether you are careful when you entered and had a big smile on yourface. children in when you entered and had a big smile on your face. children in that environment particularly will not be having a big smile on theirface, they will be petrified. that will have lasting effects on them.

thank you for being with us. it is great to have your company, hanna —— it is 9:34am. such an interesting debate but i will tell you what we are doing after ten o'clock this morning. nhs weights. it is privately qr. morning. nhs weights. it is privately or. 7.5 million people —— mike million people waiting for treatment. more than one in eight of the population when you break it down and the highest number since records began in 2007. the government is saying it wants to expand the use of private sector providers to unlock spare capacity, get more people the treatment and operations need more quickly.
9:34 am
nothing new. the labour government started using private sector providers and they said the government should have been doing this some time ago. it is a big expansion, is that a problem? what is your experience of the backlog? how long have you had to wait? the broader political issue about your personal issue, we want to get into that. do you work in the nhs, do you see this as the best solution to what we are facing? would you object to getting it done privately? if it was done by a private contractor through the nhs, do you care if it means you get treated and you do not have that letter after letter after letter for your appointments, you are off the books. 0r letter for your appointments, you are off the books. or do you see this as the thin end of the wedge, this as the thin end of the wedge, this literally slow of the universal access health service we all know and love. let us know, nhs weights,

9:36 am
case that the prime minister was not at home. do you support the idea? question the attack ticks? lots of debates. prime minister's security has been a big thing over the years and the deputy prime minister, we heard him saying that what most people would say is can you stop the stupid stance? where do you sit on that? do you support or wholly against it when you see some of the other tactics used? we are still worth will mccallum and the former deputy superintendent at the metropolitan police. we have appreciated their involvement in this and will stay with as for a while yet. some of our listeners and viewers who have been getting in touch. purdy. natalie in epsom and

9:38 am
are helicopters over my house all the time. i don't know why your caller earlier listening she was making little changes but we cannot make policy. rishi sunak and scott parra do that. his family's wealth comes from fossil fuels. he does not seem interested, he does not care. peter? good morning. purdy is quite right, _ peter? good morning. purdy is quite right, people do care about green issues _ right, people do care about green issues but — right, people do care about green issues but i don't personally agree with these — issues but i don't personally agree with these direct actions, but that is irrelevant. my point is, is groups— is irrelevant. my point is, is groups like them if they want to have _ groups like them if they want to have a _ groups like them if they want to have a voice, why don't they stand for election — have a voice, why don't they stand for election and give people like us a chance _ for election and give people like us a chance to — for election and give people like us a chance to vote for them? because that way— a chance to vote for them? because that way we — a chance to vote for them? because that way we will be able to gauge their popularity and see if they can be effective. you their popularity and see if they can

9:40 am
greenest things and it is so frustrating that we are living in a world we don't have politicians who see that. my role is to point this out to politicians and fight them into the direction of solutions and say we need to start moving fast. because ordinary people's and by climate change and unfortunately thatis climate change and unfortunately that is only going to get worse. i that is only going to get worse. i want to bring shabnam n. what do you think when you hear that part of the combination —— conversation? it is combination -- conversation? it is imortant combination -- conversation? it is important that— combination —— conversation? it is important that people have their voice _ important that people have their voice heard, peaceful protest, everyone _ voice heard, peaceful protest, everyone has a democratic right to protest _ everyone has a democratic right to protest. but you have to look at the impact _ protest. but you have to look at the impact and — protest. but you have to look at the impact and implication to individuals when tactics like these are deployed by those protesters into the — are deployed by those protesters into the privacy of other people's homes — into the privacy of other people's homes. we already have to think about— homes. we already have to think about the — homes. we already have to think about the lives that have been lost, look about the lives that have been lost, took what _ about the lives that have been lost, look what happened to jo cox about the lives that have been lost, look what happened tojo cox in her own constituency where somebody
