dawn . dawn. well, to our top story, the prime minister is going to finally announce this new strategy to deal with what he calls the scourge of anti—social behaviour . calls the scourge of anti—social behaviour. amongst the proposals are new drug testing powers, a ban on laughing gas and an immediate judge scheme that would see vandals forced to clean up damage within 48 hours. sir john curtice, professor of politics the university, politics at the university, joins us alongside the former justice secretary, robert justice secretary, sir robert buckland, in the buckland, who's with us in the studio. go to you first, studio. let's go to you first, robert. morning. does robert. good morning. how does this work? as far as i know and we're waiting for the detail from the prime minister this is focussed upon the need for there to be much swifterjustice. now i think that's a very laudable thing. i think the immediacy punishment can really home to the to the offender much powerfully. what it is that they've done and the consequences to society of what

they've done and. i think you know using the probation service to do more immediate action i think could have a real impact on many communities. but you want to get these these these yobs in 48 hours. yobs sorted out in 48 hours. where's police officers to capture the and who's going to tell the police about what the cops to? there's not cops are up to? there's not enough cctv in britain for the robbery. yeah, well , look, i robbery. yeah, well, look, i think does help us hugely, think cctv does help us hugely, but there are two things here, i think. one, for people who are convicted of a crime , the convicted of a crime, the probation service has been expanded i expanded it when i was justice secretary in order to deal with this type of offending. secondly, to make offending. and secondly, to make sure that when we're using these call restorative justice methods that the victims are happy as well. it's really important that well. it's really important that we make sure that once i want these people to pay back to society the victims of crime feel that's a just punishment know if it if they if they don't feel it's a just punishment, then we've got a problem. how much call has actually been from the victims of crime to get involved in? how are punished?

we all want these things tackled. obviously but i want justice to be seen , to be justice to be seen, to be carried out. but i don't necessarily feel like i had the right to say how someone is punished. i think punished. yeah, well, i think a really question. i think really good question. i think it depends the and the depends the victim and the crime. there are many victims of crime. there are many victims of crime. met over the years, crime. i've met over the years, including victims some of the including victims of some of the most wanted most serious crimes that wanted degree control . and i've degree of control. and i've certainly moved by certainly been very moved by conversations i've had even with victims crimes who victims of sexual crimes who felt meeting the perpetrator has given a sense of control once again . however, i would say this again. however, i would say this , unless the victim wants it to happen, it shouldn't happen . happen, it shouldn't happen. this should be victim led, in my opinion. and once i think that the lower i'll call it lower level. but it does have an impact on our communities. crimes could be dealt with more in a restorative justice way. we just need be careful to make just need to be careful to make sure don't use this as sure that we don't use this as some of blanket approach to some sort of blanket approach to avoid otherwise would avoid what otherwise would be a proper in court with a proper process in court with a conviction on a sentence. i'm quite pleased that you brought conviction on a sentence. i'm quithat eased that you brought conviction on a sentence. i'm quithat thezd that you brought conviction on a sentence. i'm quithat the sexualyou brought conviction on a sentence. i'm quithat the sexual aspect)ught conviction on a sentence. i'm

quithat the sexual aspect here, up that the sexual aspect here, because week we heard because only last week we heard the a report rape is the case, a report that rape is pretty legal in london now pretty much legal in london now because, you know, it's not being prosecuted women aren't even forward more because even coming forward more because i don't think enough action is taken. don't have enough taken. so we don't have enough police officers to cover that properly and get rapists . so how properly and get rapists. so how is it actually going to work that? we're going to get somebody who's who's defeating a wall. with staff coming wall. where's with staff coming from to do this? well i think the probation service has a role to play. i think working together, police and probation officers community, officers together, community, neighbourhood as well, working together to achieve that sort of coverage. but when it comes , coverage. but when it comes, serious sexual offending , you serious sexual offending, you know, i produced the rape review. i got that moving with , review. i got that moving with, seeing now an improvement in the number prosecutions. but there are still is still a huge gap between the number of women who are coming forward with complaints and the actual end out . and that is something we've out. and that is something we've got try and close and also got to try and close and also give women also an opportunity to have ways to resolve the

issue . not all women want to issue. not all women want to take it through criminal justice process. we need to respect and we need to make sure that in whatever way is appropriate for that victim, their voice should be . stay because be heard. stay with us because we to get involved . the sir we want to get involved. the sir john curtis , of course, john curtis, of course, professor of politics university. good morning to you, sir john. university. good morning to you, sirjohn. how university. good morning to you, sir john. how big a voter issue sirjohn. how big a voter issue for voters is law and order an anti—social crime? some people say the police can't be bothered. somebody has had their car vandalised or a window put through . but from my own through. but from my own personal experience, it can be a really upsetting is the government on the money by by putting this forward this week ? putting this forward this week? well, i think some of the republican affirmed concerns about let's anti—social behaviour graffiti etc. is one of those things that there constituents will often refer to them about and complain about. the difference, however, is or not, government can actually come up with something that actually makes a difference. and i think you've been quite

rightly quizzing sir robert about the protocol two of what's being proposed. mean , this being proposed. i mean, this is not first government have not the first government to have tried you'll remember tried this. you'll remember going the labour going back to the labour government under tony blair, this an they they this was also an issue they they introduced so—called asbo introduced the so—called asbo most anti—social behaviour orders . but the truth is that orders. but the truth is that it's very it seems to be very, very difficult to actually improve . and i think the proof improve. and i think the proof of the pudding on this issue has on other issues that this government is trying to do with not least the question of stopping the boats coming across the english channel. for many voters. the proof of the pudding will in eating, will be in the eating, necessarily promises that necessarily in the promises that are that's the point, are made. but that's the point, isn't i you've to isn't it? i mean, you've to deliver this. it's great deliver on this. it's great headunes deliver on this. it's great headlines the mail headlines on my paper, the mail and and the star. and the express and the star. but he's got to make this work as he would stop the as we speak. he would stop the boats . i as we speak. he would stop the boats. i agree. i mean, i remember talking about this issue my maiden which issue in my maiden speech, which issue in my maiden speech, which is so i really is 13 years ago. so i really care about the sort issues care about the sort of issues that john is mentioned. and i think we've got to be aware of some of the product recall concerns. know , i hate

concerns. you know, i hate graffiti. seeing it on graffiti. i hate seeing it on walls on pipe ends. one of walls and on pipe ends. one of the problems is, of course , is the problems is, of course, is private and there is a private property. and there is a there are a number of rules and regulation that prevent the swift removal we swift removal of graffiti. we need through that need to cut through that bureaucracy order to make our bureaucracy in order to make our communities more pleasant places in which to live and work. same as fly—tipping you know, if it's on council land, fine . we can on council land, fine. we can get it. move it on private property. it can take an age, you know, that sort of bureaucracy. we need to sweep away in order to allow wrong doers pay back what they've doers to pay back what they've taken out in crime . going back taken out in crime. going back to what the labour party would say. you know , you have say. andrew you know, you have beenin say. andrew you know, you have been in power for 13 years. why now? why have you not been doing anything this beforehand? because all of the situations that you are supposedly tackling today have got worse over the past years. well, i think i think it would be unfair to say that nothing been happening that nothing has been happening . i was just a . i mean, when i was just a secretary, i tightened up sentencing sure sentencing to make sure that serious violent serious sexual and violent offenders stay in offenders actually stay in prison and serve more term in

prison and serve more term in prison to keep public safe. prison to keep the public safe. i that, you know, in i also think that, you know, in terms of the way that crime has changed, there's no doubt that the overall numbers of violent crime have down. but we've crime have come down. but we've got new types of crime as well because cyber crime, which is a real problem for many, many vulnerable so is vulnerable people. so this is a constantly changing picture. i think what with the probation service was that we got ourselves into a bit of a tangle , think going to i know we , think we're going to i know we can do this, but the prime minister's come in so you're going to stay with us and react to it. so rishi sunak is delivering this speech in essex, he's going talk about the crackdown anti—social crackdown on anti —social behaviour in the past. i don't know, incredible job you guys know, an incredible job you guys do to provide services for young people. you for doing people. so thank you for doing that. a huge, huge that. makes a huge, huge difference. myself difference. as i've seen myself now the beginning of the now at the beginning of the yeanl now at the beginning of the year, i set out some priorities and always said that your and i always said that your priorities and my priorities are the government's priorities and pretty simple in that behind me it's grow the it's the hall of. grow the economy. reduce debt cut waiting lists. to stop the boats.

lists. and to stop the boats. that's what we're busy getting on doing. and i'm really confident that over the course of year , you are going to of this year, you are going to see that we are delivering for you for everyone on those you and for everyone on those five priorities. but alongside , five priorities. but alongside, i also want to make sure that we have a country where all of us, our families , all kids are our families, all kids are growing up in strong communities, communities that feel safe communities that are thriving, communities that we all feel proud to call home. some communities are built on values and in fact, the most important rule that we teach our kids is golden rule, right? it's about respect. it's about treating others in the way that you would like to treated back. and i'm fortunate vicki was just talking about right, there is a small minority of people who break golden rule and cause disruption and disorder , their disruption and disorder, their communities and you know what i'm talking about. you've all seen it about gangs gathering

and being disruptive, being drunk, being disorderly , drunk, being disorderly, littering graffiti and flight . littering graffiti and flight. and that's not it's not okay. right it's not okay for a experience. it for as families to not better walk around in our communities parks or high streets or particular times of the day know that's not the type of communities that you want. it's not the type of country that are. and that's why it's important that we do something about it. now, of course, we're 20,000 more police officers on the street and. we're making great progress on that record numbers here in essex . but that, numbers here in essex. but that, you know, that's great, but we really want to focus specific on antisocial behaviour and that's what today is about. and you've got a copy of our new action on your chairs , but that's going to your chairs, but that's going to just highlight what's in there for you. there are three buckets of it. the first is that we need to make sure that we give anti—social behaviour urgency ,

anti—social behaviour urgency, that this subject deserves . so that this subject deserves. so what we're going to do is use far more hotspot where we make sure that our police target the areas that are of most concern. it's been proven to work in lots different places and we're going to have more use of what's called immediate justice. so those people who are behaving irresponsibly and poorly will have to repair damage that calls and clear up the mess that they've made within days of that, having been caught so that justice can be seen , be done. justice can be seen, be done. that's what immediate justice is about , so that it's about about, so that it's about treating asb with the urgency it demands. next thing is to demands. the next thing is to have a zero tolerance approach to all forms of anti—social behaviour. and especially i'm talking about drugs. so what we're going to do is ban nitrous oxide because i think all of us for far too have had to walk through places , canisters and through places, canisters and all the rest of it and that's not acceptable. so we're going to ban nitrous oxide and we're also going to expand the power of the police to do drug testing

on arrest for far more crime and far more drugs and tackle the scourge of drugs . and then the scourge of drugs. and then the third thing in the plan is to give the police and local the tools and the powers they need tools and the powers they need to combat anti—social behaviour. so a significant increasing in some cases doubling the fines that local authorities, councils can charge for things like fly tipping, littering, graffiti . tipping, littering, graffiti. we're making it easier to evict antisocial tenants and we're investing more money in the provision of youth services like this. a million extra hours for youth clubs to provide other things for young people to do and, invest in communities to build more and green spaces which are shown to have a real impact on people wellbeing. so thatis impact on people wellbeing. so that is the plan. there's a lot more in there, but that's a plan a nutshell. got immediate just this hotspot policing a ban on nitrous oxide more drug testing and more investment in youth services, more investment in green spaces and more powers for

local councils. because this is really important. i know it's important to you and your families is important to me and the government and this plan is how we are going to stamp out anti social behaviour. it's how we're going to level up across our and most importantly it's how we're going to build strong and thriving communities that we are proud call home so that in a nutshell is what we're here to talk about today. thank you very much for your time . i'm going to much for your time. i'm going to throw it open. feel to ask me anything you want. that's why i'm here for it. we should talk about sb a bit because that's important and topical, but anything mind as well? anything on your mind as well? i'm here, anything and everything. so i'll open. everything. so i'll, i'll open. and who wants go first? yes, and who wants to go first? yes, sir. thank you. prime minister. you're your expert on drugs . say you're your expert on drugs. say that criminalising the media. i

am. yeah. you know what? when it comes to your questions at the end if that's alright. well let's just let me do that. i'm want to and get questions want to try and get questions from the audience. we've got plenty of time for media questions right, questions at the end right, perfect. right. who do we perfect. right. so who do we have? we have. sir. here have? we have. yes, sir. here minister. that minister. had you got that report. it's actually i've been shoplift. and if it's anonymous phone number, have you ever tried that non—emergency phone number? it's much frustrating in the world. yeah that is a very good point. and you know, one thing, when we were putting plan together, you know what just said, we heard a lot from people. and, you know, actually, if look oddly enough, if you look at it, oddly enough, police recorded incidents of anti—social behaviour are down 35% in the last year or so. last couple of years. so you think, gosh, we're making really good progress. and actually when you to clear tonnes to people what's clear is tonnes of going reported of it is not going reported because too many people feel exactly way that you do. exactly the way that you do. they're too they're like, it's too difficult. what's point? and no one would do anything about it. right. we're

right. and that's what we're trying so one thing trying to fix. so one thing you'll see in there is, what we're going to roll out is a new tool that it's going to it tool that it's going to make it far easier people to far easier for people to anti—social and anti—social behaviour and actually to be able to do it digitally and online and then getting update on what's happening about it now we're not going to do that overnight. so we're going have build out we're going to have to build out over course this year and over the course this year and roll it's going to roll it out. but it's going to address the problem that you raised, because should raised, right? because it should be you see something be easy when you see something happening. be for happening. it should be easy for you say this is what see you to say this is what i see and this what's going on. and and this is what's going on. and have the local authority and the police on what done police report back on what done about it so that you feel that concerns are being listened to. now seconds for your now it's time seconds for your social lives, for shoplifting. one you recall john lloyd one time you recall john lloyd webber recycling. they've gone . webber recycling. they've gone. so what do you do then ? we have so what do you do then? we have a lot of problems like the market here. reports to replace you. set your watch on it every saturday afternoon , saturday, saturday afternoon, saturday, twice . i said before a lot of

twice. i said before a lot of differences . all their differences. all their efficiencies go up because they've got kind of first date for all the reset for all they knew , a half hour like earth day knew, a half hour like earth day doneit knew, a half hour like earth day done it going but this time it gets too far and they we are to living in these rough times and old customers and i called it a week can't do nothing it's annoying it's so frustrating . no annoying it's so frustrating. no i'll just and whatever we have now and that's what i talked from the beginning about having high streets and towns centres are thriving. right. because you're trying to work on run a business, people want to, come and do their shopping and it's not safe. it doesn't feel safe. none that's going happen. none of that's going to happen. and of the things i was and one of the things i was talking to the police about this morning, local areas morning, you were local areas is concept policing and concept of hotspot policing and we're that's what we're doing and that's what we're doing and that's what we're roll out far more we're going to roll out far more of including here essex of including here in essex and so police and crime nodding so your police and crime nodding away hotspot policing is away and hotspot policing is about it's us about exactly that it's us knowing you said knowing what you just said because every area there's

because in every area there's things like that that are happening that we know about. right. and when it comes to behaviour, when it comes to things like shoplifting in general, there are patterns to it there pockets where it and there are pockets where it and there are pockets where it prevalent and the use it is more prevalent and the use of hotspot policing has been shown work the uk but shown to work across the uk but also abroad as well, and we're going be doing of that. going to be doing more of that. we're in hotspot we're investing more in hotspot policing hopefully policing that will hopefully address like that the address things like that the areas where we it's areas where we know it's happening , times we happening, the times that we know happening, the people know it's happening, the people that are typically that we know are typically committing our committing it and target our resources on people to make a difference because . i want you difference because. i want you to be out go and do what you to be out to go and do what you want to do, which is going work hard, make a living, and serve your customers. and too your customers. and it's too hard if your is being hard if your life is being disrupted it's not disrupted by criminals, it's not acceptable. you me, we acceptable. believe you me, we want to clamp down on it and part this plan, the hotspot part of this plan, the hotspot policing, do that. policing, is to help do that. and the digital for people and then the digital for people to report quickly and it to report it quickly and get it deau to report it quickly and get it dealt dealt well. dealt with, dealt with as well. all right. good. all right. right. go. yes the right. here we go. yes so the problem is we carry on taking questions still got with you, i'd but back then,

i'd say, sir, but back then, justice secretary, can you define i? we're both define dawn and i? we're both muttering. what is hotspot policing? sounds to policing? look what it sounds to me a particular concerted me like. a particular concerted operation involving the police and probably some agencies as well where there is, you know, let's say there's been a plethora of reports of anti—social behaviour and crime that that that demands a much wider response than just an individual police officer going to scene on an operation. to the scene on an operation. i presume to disrupt to stop the sort of behaviour that is blighting communities. the prime minister says. i mean it does happen already. i mean we've had a number of examples. i mean in my local park i've worked my own local park i've worked with the police in order to make sure types sure the particular types of activity some activity are disrupted with some success. now we see that done success. now if we see that done on a more way, that could be good news for communities. let's see exactly that is rolled see exactly how that is rolled out. i think going to out. i think they're going to pilot this, which pilot some of this, which basically but it seems to basically areas but it seems to me in terms of the policing operation, know, that operation, as you know, that could done fairly swiftly. could be done fairly swiftly. and sure a of police and i'm sure a lot of police forces, you know, could just get on without disrupt this sort

on without and disrupt this sort of behaviour wish they of behaviour. i really wish they could on with it could just get on with it because the hotspot policing, i mean , surely everybody should mean, surely everybody should have on the beat, have a bobby on the beat, everybody have. they. everybody have. what are they. well, quite andrew, i think species live in east london in tower hamlets and we need to knee deep in the gas canister things. yes, crack whatever you want to call it. yes but i don't ever see a policeman walking down street when i was down the street when i was growing up, i knew the name of my harding, if my local police pc harding, if you're interested. but you're interested. yes but i never see one now. and so i know. hot spot. i just want bobbies on the beat doing their jobs. but i want is jobs. but what i want is policing actually matches policing that actually matches the so i like this idea the problem. so i like this idea about using using, you know, onune about using using, you know, online facilities in order to make an immediate report. i think that is good . i think think that is good. i think that's a good use of technology and i want to see the police to be able to be able to respond where the problems exist. yeah, it would be great to go back to, you know, the bobby on the beat concept know, we were concept from, you know, we were growing but i think it's

growing up, but i think it's better to have policing that is truly intelligence led the truly intelligence led in the sense they following sense that they are following the more than the evidence and more than following that also on anticipating what might happen because for my money i'd rather have crime prevention than having to mop up literally mop up the mess afterwards that we see blighting our communities. i think, you know, this this is a fact, isn't it? sort of that the police spend too much time gazing at computer screens looking for hate crimes , looking for hate crimes, homophobic crimes and racist crimes on the internet because of this huge explosion in hate crime. that's isn't that part . crime. that's isn't that part. get them out of these offices. get them out of these offices. get off these computers. and as dawn says, get them on the beat. it seems to me that know a lot of that work could be done by warranted in a civilian warranted officers in a civilian . staff can be doing . members of staff can be doing a lot of that work again where we need the warrant warranted officers. the people with the arrest out there on arrest powers is out there on the doing job the front line doing their job and also it can be a most stigma relating and rewarding job if they are preventing the

escalation of what might look like minus to begin with, but which really causes misery to many . that is a massive public many. that is a massive public service and the police will start to regain the confidence of the public . that, as we've of the public. that, as we've seen from reports like in this case, they lose. we could ask a couple of other issues, how much do you think you could charge a day to work as an mp? your colleagues matt hancock thinks he's a day. so he's worth £10,000 a day. so just kwarteng me know how just kwasi kwarteng me know how he was worth or what second job are you worth? £10,000 or i couldn't even begin to measure my worth and my wife has a particular view sometimes i know my view my main job as an mp. yes, i'm a lawyer as well. i might do some law work and i'm proud to do that because my qualification before became an mp and the biggest second job i ever of course, being ever had. of course, being a minister, the second secretary of i think that, you of state, but i think that, you know, i think wisest course know, i think the wisest course of is always make sure of action is always make sure that is your main that being an mp is your main job. that's the big task you've

. paid 80,000 a year. . got to get paid 80,000 a year. and yet here he is asking for 10,000 a day. i i must say, i think what i saw was was not edifying . and i think colleagues edifying. and i think colleagues need to take great care . do you need to take great care. do you when they're approached by greeks bearing gifts, what did the thing that shocked me, particularly as journalist, was they made no effort to check this company out in any so this company out in any way. so i won't ask what they want i won't even ask what they want out of it. but just quickly, robert, do you think emily thornberry breakfast thornberry in the breakfast show this slightly this morning being slightly hypocritical about the second job and some of the labour job issue and some of the labour members of i think labour party need very careful here. need to be very careful here. you all love to see you know, we all love to see doctors and nurses going back work did mp nurse nurses work as they did mp nurse nurses going back in the in the pandemic. what's the difference between got between somebody who's got a pre—existing like pre—existing qualification like a accountant a lawyer or accountant doing that work well so. mp, i that sort of work well so. mp, i think it brings extra dimension to as parliamentary to their role as a parliamentary . if labour want a load of . if labourjust want a load of careerists and bad to careerists and bad carriers to be in parliament, then god help us. when starmer is in the us. when keir starmer is in the shadow cabinet, was trials

chris philp told gb news this morning the money will go towards immediate justice to help people feel safe on the streets. firstly there are emerging pieces of evidence showing that nitrous oxide can be harmful from a medical point of view. there have been some cases of people becoming paralysed when taking large quantities. and then secondly , quantities. and then secondly, there's evidence that nitrous oxide consumption does fuel this anti—social behaviour problem that i've mentioned. people loitering around , taking this loitering around, taking this stuff, littering and creating a slightly menacing atmosphere for other citizens who want to feel safe in their own neighbourhoods . deputy speaker of the house of lords , baroness helen newlove, lords, baroness helen newlove, thinks the crackdown should start in education. have these measures before and actually i welcome any measure that would stop antisocial behaviour. but there's nothing new in this that's already out there and you've got to have the resources and people , the labour place in and people, the labour place in this dimension and probation officers. well that's on its

knees as well. so no i don't think any of these policies are new. we're still going to struggle to tackle antisocial behaviour , most importantly with behaviour, most importantly with police who classify it as low level . prince harry has arrived level. prince harry has arrived at the high court for a hearing in his claim against the publisher of the daily mail for phone tapping and other breaches of privacy. the duke of sussex is among a group of celebrity shows, including sir elton john and elizabeth hurley, who are launching legal action against associated newspaper ltd accusations include hiring private investigators to place listening devices inside cars and homes and recording phone calls . associated newspapers calls. associated newspapers denied the allegation and the preliminary high court hearing starts today . new figures show starts today. new figures show police in england and wales carried out strip search on children as young as eight over a four year period. figures obtained by the children's commissioner for england show more than 2800 strip searches were reported between 2018 and

be crude, 80% would be sailings solution. we're getting reports from all around the harbour to try and understand and the scale of this particular event . of this particular event. millions of low income households across the uk will receive the next government cost of living payment this spring. the £301 cash support will be sent directly to 8 million eligible homes, including people on universal credit. that's between april and may. it's the first of three payments totalling £900. they'll also be further payments worth £150 for those eligible with disabilities and around £300 for pensioners due later this year. the next leader of the snp is set to be chosen today following a five week contest . health secretary week contest. health secretary humza yousaf is regarded as a front runner, competing against finance secretary kate forbes and former community safety minister ash regan to replace nicola sturgeon. snp members have until midday today to vote

for their new leader and scotland's next first minister. ukrainian soldiers have completed a challenge at tank training in britain and will return to fight against russia. kyiv forces travelled here after the government announced it would send 14 of the tanks to support them in their fight. it comes as ukraine's government requested an emergency un security council meeting to counter the kremlin's nuclear blackmail . counter the kremlin's nuclear blackmail. this counter the kremlin's nuclear blackmail . this is gb news counter the kremlin's nuclear blackmail. this is gb news move from me shortly. now though, it's back to andrew and don't . it's back to andrew and don't. well it's our top story. rishi sunak's announced a new strategy to still do what he says is the scourge of anti—social behaviour. among the proposals are a new drug testing powers, a ban on laughing gas and an immediate justice scheme that will see vandals forced to clean up damage within 48 hours. so

let's go live to westminster with our deputy political edhon with our deputy political editor, tom harwood, for his reaction . hello, tom. thank you reaction. hello, tom. thank you for joining us. yes this is forjoining us. yes this is a thank you . i think there's a thank you. i think there's a little bit of a delay on the line, but we'll get through it. i this is a new proposal by the government really interestingly , coming just a few days after the labour party announced their strategy on crime, on their national mission on crime, expanding police presence and the like . well, in response the like. well, in response today, argue , i believe the today, argue, i believe the government has come forward with a plan of its own around anti social behaviour. this comprises of three main parts. firstly getting a visible police presence in the areas that have the highest hotspots of anti—social behaviour . now the highest hotspots of anti—social behaviour. now this could be police, it could be park wardens, but having that visible authority figure to deter anti—social behaviour in the first place. and the second

element of the strategy is about swift retribution . the ambition swift retribution. the ambition is that within 48 hours, perpetrators of anti—social perpetrators of anti —social behaviour perpetrators of anti—social behaviour will be able to will will be forced to have a visible retribution strategy . so visibly retribution strategy. so visibly paying retribution strategy. so visibly paying back to the community, whether that's cleaning police cars, washing off graffiti or picking up litter all while dressed in humiliating jumpsuits . as one suggestion by the prime minister laid out and thirdly announced today is a new ban on nitrous oxide , not as it's known nitrous oxide, not as it's known , which is a recreational drug familiar to many who've walked in parks up and down the country for those little silver cans , for those little silver cans, oysters as much as oxide, a nuisance to many people. but also what the government describes as a dangerous psychedelic substance. however there is a little bit of

disagreement on this new ban of this recreational drug because the government's adviser committee on on these substances is has said that this would be a counterproductive strategy. as we've seen in the past . we've seen in the past. sometimes when the government says it's going to ban something, it doesn't always deter the usage . all right, tom, deter the usage. all right, tom, that's our senior deputy political editor tom harwood at westminster . political editor tom harwood at westminster. in the studio political editor tom harwood at westminster . in the studio with westminster. in the studio with us is our rather grand chief political commentator, nigel nelson. i almost forgotten, nigel, that that keir starmer last week was announcing his own war on crime. yes, he was , in war on crime. yes, he was, in a sense, overtaken by it. yeah. the trouble about what rishi sunak just announced is, is we have to get down to the detail, and it all sounds terribly good and it all sounds terribly good and so the idea of actually getting a hooligan to clear up the mess in 48 hours. brilliant. yeah but how? yes the first

thing is, you'd have to actually catch them red handed doing it, or you have to obtain a confession in immediately afterwards. so none of that is explained how you will actually get this swift justice. tony blair tried this, but his way of doing it was to march them to show that none of whichever happened didn't did it? the asbos did last, but the but that particular one just didn't work. so every government comes up with an anti—social behaviour policy . good. i mean, we ought policy. good. i mean, we ought to be dealing with that. it's just that he needs to tell us how he's going to do it. and from that press conference, which he's still doing, the he's not he's not actually explaining himself hotspot policing the new passphrase. how does that passphrase. but how does that work ? again, it is hotspot work? again, it is hotspot policing a sense . hot policing in a sense. hot policemen grab the grab the perpetrators as they're committing the crime. that's fine. but presumably , they've fine. but presumably, they've got to be in the right that the police have in the right spot .

police have in the right spot. so it it's kind of just how, yes, we would support everyone who would support that anti—social behaviour is a blight on many of our lives , but blight on many of our lives, but we really do not know how to get down to the nitty gritty of it. the devil is always in the detail with political announcements, isn't it? but go into details and you know, into those details and you know, they happened in south the 30 years. and as you said, tony blair tried beforehand. but we never seem to solve this problem. so do you think problem. so how do you think this is the statements they will be going the house? do be going down in the house? do you think in there would you think in general there would be support for it? or do you think people were slightly cynical? andrew and cynical? i kind of, andrew and i have this morning. i think have been this morning. i think there'll be support for it because it obviously is going in the direction. so i don't the right direction. so i don't see got problem there, see he's got a problem there, but imagine mps will be asking but i imagine mps will be asking the questions we've just the very questions we've just been morning. but been asking this morning. but we had robert buckland and had we had robert buckland and here him, former here you saw him, the former justice he danced justice secretary, and he danced around rather delicately around it rather delicately around it rather delicately around diplomats. i thought,

around the diplomats. i thought, sir, was watching sir, when i when i was watching him. yeah. and what him. yeah, yeah, yeah. and what is the. it's a huge issue that law and order and labour have tried to pinch the tories close haven't they. are they going to now pinch back. well, now pinch them back. well, i mean there's a of sort mean there's been a lot of sort of to ing and fro ing between labour tory policies that labour and tory policies that an awful of jeremy irons budget awful lot of jeremy irons budget was straight out of the labour playbook . so if labour was playbook. so if labour was sensible to try and keep a few policies under wraps so they've got something to put in the manifesto of the election he gets down to they just people say a blank book on what he's going to do. all right they do announced the tories. contrary royalists. just royalists. they like it. just take it doesn't take it away. and so it doesn't leave him anything left. leave him with anything left. and talking of budgets, millions of being promised for, of pounds being promised for, you know, everything from youth clubs etc, clubs to improving parks, etc, etc. but basically we're asking, aren't we? where's the money coming from? well i mean, it's not huge amounts of money. i mean, he was talking today about a million extra in youth clubs that won't a fortune. the

that won't cost a fortune. the extra policing he's talking aboutis extra policing he's talking about is about 160 million. when you consider how many billions we're spending or even how much, 400 billion we spent on covid. it really is a drop in the ocean. so i don't think the finance bit is the is the actual problem. it's what you do with that money and how it makes a difference . the fines are going difference. the fines are going to go back into helping clean up. exactly. we have former stripper phil campaigned down the line as well, i believe, on this subject. hello, phil, you there ? well, we thought he was. there? well, we thought he was. 0h, there? well, we thought he was. oh, yes , there you are. we have oh, yes, there you are. we have a bit of delay. this morning. good morning, phil. thank you for joining us. phil, i mean, forjoining us. phil, i mean, can you just tell a bit about why you feel so keenly about this issue and what happened to you the past that makes you you in the past that makes you so interested anti—social so interested in anti—social behaviour ? well, i was it came behaviour? well, i was it came through the children's home system myself and i've seen these various things over the years rolled out of listen to them. it's all i've seen what i'll say. this is a toothless tiger been let out again of so

many issues are never addressed. the grassroots level that lead to these these these situations getting worse . and i say that getting worse. and i say that because these crimes themselves social crimes, are the foundation for criminal . that's foundation for criminal. that's why they're going to start the criminal career. you've today . criminal career. you've today. report. no, it doesn't carry on. yet you today may need so much so much nurturing, but yet you today may need so much so much nurturing , but they also so much nurturing, but they also need consequence for their actions. and there is no conflict with their actions. they laugh at these community policemen. they laugh at policemen. they laugh at the measures taken. now here they wear their arms with pride. they'll wear that luminous jackets with pride with the g, with the with the visible. now now am that because you can now i am that because you can see root of all these see me the root of all these problems is the is this is to instil discipline and it's to instil discipline and it's to instil core values inside tools and in communities, make people proud they come from. proud of where they come from. make people brown where they

live give purpose and live and give them purpose and direction , ambition and direction, ambition and something to aspire to. it's all right. chasing people around town and i realise that things have to be cracked down on. but ultimately i think if you're going to if you're going to get this problem under control, it needs to be dealt with from the very, very basic. all right. that's still campion . former ss that's still campion. former ss officer, ss trooper, thanks so much for joining officer, ss trooper, thanks so much forjoining us. now the much for joining us. now the duke of sussex is joining a group of celebrities, including sir elton john and elizabeth hurley , in bringing a lawsuit hurley, in bringing a lawsuit against daily mail publisher associated newspapers. the accusation is to be heard at the high court today include claims that private investigators were hired to place listening devices inside people's homes and cars . inside people's homes and cars. now joining us in the studio now is our gb news reporter, the lovely cameron walker , to give lovely cameron walker, to give us his thoughts on what's going on in the court today. good morning. well, prince harry has arrived and we expect in london. this was unexpected to me. we assumed it would be his assumed it would just be his legal fighting his

legal team fighting his case because it's four because it's a four day preliminary basically preliminary hearing, basically because the associated newspapers ltd few months ago newspapers ltd a few months ago asked judge essentially to asked the judge essentially to decide to not throw decide whether or to not throw the out before it goes to a the case out before it goes to a full blown trial. so that's what's happening next what's happening over the next four but prince harry four days. but prince harry clearly need to be clearly sees the need to be there in person to hear his case being heard in court. he won't get a chance to speak at all with him, not in the next few days when he's not expected to speak. he wasn't even expected to be there because it because it's hearing. it's the preliminary hearing. he won't giving evidence. for won't be giving evidence. for example . but clearly, prince example. but clearly, prince harry feels the need to do this because as we all know, he's got this big war against the british tabloid press and he doesn't from reports we're getting the sense that he doesn't really want this. he he want damages for this. he he will not settle out of court. he wants it to go to trial. he wants it to go to trial. he wants to hold people accountable and for what he sees is the wrongdoing in terms of alleged phone hacking , alleged of i'll phone hacking, alleged of i'll just read it out, basically hiring private investigators to

secretly place a listening devices inside people's cars in homes, listening to private telephone calls, payments to police with corrupt links to privates investigators. the list goes on. associated newspapers has denied all of this. they say it's preposterous smears, pre—planned and orchestrated as attempts to drag the daily mail titles into the phone hacking scandal . and they are scandal. and they are unsubstantiated and highly defamatory claims. but prince harry will not settle. he wants to hold people accountable. if it does , if the case does, go it does, if the case does, go ahead. what is it can be later this year , perhaps? i think this year, perhaps? i think we'll have to wait and see. no debt dates have been says the only dates that have been set so far is this four day preliminary heanng far is this four day preliminary hearing into the titles. but it's prince harry. i it's not just prince harry. i think the other think that's the other significant thing. celebrities are this. we've are involved in this. so we've gots elton we who gots elton john. we have. who else have we've sadie else do we have? we've got sadie frost. we've got elizabeth hurley, david furnish , elton hurley, david furnish, elton john's husbands , baroness john's husbands, baroness lawrence, the mother of murdered stephen lawrence. so it is a long list and this is just one

of three cases separate cases prince harry is involved with. he's also suing the mirror group newspapers over alleged phone hacking , which they also deny. hacking, which they also deny. and he's also saying associated newspapers, again , for a newspapers, again, for a separate defamation case over an article written about his separate home office trial against the home office . and against the home office. and over that decision not to allow him his papers and police protection. so the list goes into food court, a hearing ? into food court, a hearing? yeah. if harry's here for a few days, do you think he's going to get p0p days, do you think he's going to get pop in and see his get time to pop in and see his big what a question. big brother? what a question. what question. as what a question. well, as we understand prince harry understand it, prince harry still frogmore is still has frogmore cottage is 2 minutes walk from adelaide cottage. and kate cottage. where will and kate live my understanding this live? for my understanding this morning prince princess morning the prince and princess of their children are of wales and their children are not windsor it's the not in windsor because it's the kids holidays that they kids easter holidays that they have left. so i think the chance of a reconciliation meeting is incredibly unlikely. the other thing curious is, thing i'm curious about is, is harry and say they can't harry and meghan say they can't come for the coronation, come over for the coronation, which what, which is obviously, what, six weeks because of the weeks time now because of the personal issue . they

personal protection issue. they don't feel safe. they're not allowed to touch by the metropolitan yet is metropolitan police. and yet is here for this. yeah, very interesting. don't if we interesting. i don't if we can run the footage but you run the footage again, but you can see him walking into the court he actually walks into court and he actually walks into a bashes a photographer, he bashes him so clearly not not much clearly not not that much security. if he's if you just look for watching on look here for those watching on television, you're not television, if not if you're not and listening on radio, and you're listening on radio, i suggest you online. he's suggest you look online. he's just air, walk straight just walking air, walk straight into clearly into photographer. so clearly not security from our not that much security from our understanding he does get metropolitan police protection for official state occasions . for official state occasions. when he came over for the jubilee , when he came over for jubilee, when he came over for the queen's funeral , he did have the queen's funeral, he did have protection. a on frogmore cottage estates because it's within the private protection of windsor estates and be being dnven windsor estates and be being driven to these events . for driven to these events. but for something which something like this which is clearly private matter, it clearly a private matter, it remains unclear how much security he has because us security he has because the us private protection team will not have firearms. they will not have firearms. they will not have access to mi5 intelligence, for example. so yeah , for example. so yeah, interesting. he's willing to take the risk for this. it is cunous

take the risk for this. it is curious as to how he feels safer in circumstances than in some circumstances than other, when has other, especially when he has a point to prove he wanted to go to the coronation. if wants point to prove he wanted to go to tito coronation. if wants point to prove he wanted to go to tito gomation. if wants point to prove he wanted to go to tito go to tion. if wants point to prove he wanted to go to tito go to the. if wants point to prove he wanted to go to tito go to the carnage.'ants point to prove he wanted to go to tito go to the carnage. yes, i him to go to the carnage. yes, i do. because i think it would be a gesture from charles and william more than anything else for the invitations there, isn't it ? it is also. he hadn't it? it is also. he hadn't replied . how do know? he had replied. how do you know? he had an correspondence with an email correspondence with buckingham his last buckingham palace since his last , been and the family , i've been told, and the family . the cynical of me is that . the cynical part of me is that if he and his lovely wife stay in america , they're going to be in america, they're going to be working for american tv. so they will earn a lot more money by talking to the american tv networks, commentating on the coronation. then you've got a couple of weeks to decide as well because the palace reportedly have given need reportedly have given they need to palace days to give the palace 28 days nofice to give the palace 28 days notice the home office 28 notice and the home office 28 days notice in order come up days notice in order to come up with some kind of security plan for seating plan, for the and a seating plan, because be because they'll probably be sitting behind the duke and duchess gloucester. duchess of gloucester. those well royal well known titans of the royal family. yes indeed. it's going to watch. to be fascinating to watch. can't watch, watch, demonstrate, right? have to move

right? we have we have to move on. still to come, we get an exclusive the story of exclusive look into the story of one who grooming one woman who sued her grooming gang and one go girl. gang abuser. and one go girl. that so more on to the that and so much more on to the point on

gb news. hello. it's 1024. your way to the point on gb news at andrew pierce. and tony, i am a survivor from one of the grooming gang scandal. i secured a landmark legal victory suing her abuser for £425,000. gb news spoke with liz, who hopes her case will open the door for more survivors to fight their injustice. charlie peters found this exclusive report of 20 years after enduring a horrific gang ordeal. grooming gang survivor liz finally feels that she has justice for the abuse she has justice for the abuse she suffered in 2018. her abuser , ashkan boston, was jailed for nine years after he raped her twice in a flat in rotherham between 2002 and 2004. liz was groomed by a woman and kept in

her flat where she was abused. but after boston was finally jailed in 2018 for two of the rapes that she suffered. liz felt that he was not sufficiently punished. it went off and well, i suppose what i've got to take from that is the system doesn't really benefit victims anywhere. boston was released from prison last yean was released from prison last year, having served just half of his sentence and being moved to an open prison without liz being informed. but after all of these failures, liz has secured a landmark legal victory , with the landmark legal victory, with the high court awarding a massive £425,000 in damages after she took civil action against boston for the crimes he was found guilty of in 2018. i hope that people say this is a landmark case, not the floodgates have just opened , and i hope that it just opened, and i hope that it bnngs just opened, and i hope that it brings it brings art toward the survivors. but also, i hope that the perpetrator that commit

these crimes are historically present. no that if this is either going to be as it is, what they're going to get. does it give you hope that even if the criminal justice system fails, survivors can fight for themselves to get the justice they deserve? yet i think it's absolutely a measure and it's been a long process . it's absolutely a measure and it's been a long process. it's being taught the way i see it . and i taught the way i see it. and i do hope that more survivors can come forward and bring their perpetrators to justice. what do you think boston feels like today?i you think boston feels like today? i hope that it feels like ihave today? i hope that it feels like i have done for the last 22 years. and i hope that this has led in a very, very expensive life. elizabeth is one of thousands of britain's many grooming gang victims. but many feel as though the punishments that perpetrators received were insufficient . elizabeth lawyer insufficient. elizabeth lawyer now believes that with this landmark ruling, more punishments will finally arrive . liz his lawyer, robin tilbrook, taken her case to create a new legal precedent for

grooming gang survivors. i think we've got an icebreaker here where people can see what can be done and hopefully many others will follow. they've been failed , certainly by the almost the entire system . at last, there is entire system. at last, there is an opportunity to get some justice, some real justice. tilbrook now hopes that this icebreaker case will lead to new opportunities for survivors to take control and seek justice. i hopeit take control and seek justice. i hope it will give them some closure on what happened at last . we've got an opportunity for individuals to get some justice. this has broken the ice. it shows the path to follow and we've now got a clear way of achieving for justice these girls. we've all been let down, you know, so we have a process of being the abused child . to of being the abused child. to grow, you know , obviously grow, you know, obviously psychological damage . to then psychological damage. to then not be able to access the services that we need because the funding is not there. these

consistently failure i just want it do something for every single survivor that's suffering in this in this country. it's neven this in this country. it's never, ever been about money for me . it's about justice and me. it's about justice and basically being able to take control back . and because time control back. and because time after time we see this pattern of the survivors come last, the perpetrators converse . so i'm perpetrators converse. so i'm hoping that this case does bring that forward and that they actually if throughout committing crimes now against no victims and no children, that this they just think, well, victims and no children, that this they just think, well , that this they just think, well, that could be me . powerful stuff, could be me. powerful stuff, wasn't it? but i just you know what i get so angry about this case, andrew, it's like, you know, elizabeth is so , so brave know, elizabeth is so, so brave to talk out there. and we do need more women to come forward. but the fact that this is one of the greatest scandals of our times, i think so many women and girls were in this and girls were ignored in this and that perpetrators were often that the perpetrators were often allowed walk in the

protection. but there was something up to court something up to the high court today, quite today, flanked by two quite large gentlemen. so he's obviously got some form of protection. yeah, well, he can afford yes. i don't know afford it. yes. i don't know who's paying for it, but probably the daily mail dimension at this point. well yeah think prince andrew yeah. do you think prince andrew should this book? think should write this book? i think a absolute disaster. a disaster is absolute disaster. why? would even want to do why? why would even want to do that? going to read it, that? he's going to read it, which i would not buy that book. no. oh because he's toxic tightly. and not only that, i just don't understand this whole like disrespect to the royal family. like he's encased in this bubbles and they're protecting him fame to go and. right. this would just be doing the opposite of what they're trying to do. he's going to be living on the streets. you know, he knows people, hey, not he knows people, hey, it's not like needs the like he desperately needs the money. i think everybody money. i mean, i think everybody so bored of this. i mean, we've all exhausted by story by all exhausted by his story by this whole story. i think he should just knuckle and do should just just knuckle and do some good stuff and just get on with it. he should stop doing charity work under the under the

radar. yeah. he needs to do profumo did. yeah. and he says almost this thing clearing your name i think if you just stay quiet for while and then i think that's the best way. i think a lot of members of the royal family, i did that, never family, if i did that, never complain never things complain, never explain things that her entire that the queen lived her entire life. i seem to work quite well for him to rehabilitate himself is actions, not words. he should just do some just knuckle down and do some really good charity stuff and just, you know, show that he's a good that's just unedifying good and that's just unedifying dispute homes isn't there dispute about homes isn't there the suggestion that he might have give up royal lodge because it requires a lot of work work required i've been i've interviewed prince andrew i interviewed prince andrew and i went lodge. i thought went to royal lodge. i thought it would be a four bedroom lodge. it's enormous home. yes it is. it just went on forever and ever and ever and ever. and i said, your ex—wife lives here. so i said, you could go a month with us live in sort of separate wings. yes, i think that's exactly what they do. yeah. it's not like frogmore cottage i mean, their definition of a

cottage of mine is like before it's too posh. you just put no. three, three, right. so, yes. so i mean, a decent size. it's i mean, it's a decent size. it's not it's hardly a hovel, people. it be a mansion. yeah, it would be a mansion. yeah, yes, yeah. so we don't think he should write this book. no, should write this book. no, no, i it's like, you i don't think it's like, you know, allow it. could king know, allow it. could the king stop it i suppose he could couldn't he ? i mean i, i don't couldn't he? i mean i, i don't know. he didn't manage to stop harry from doing. i think he actually legally stop actually couldn't legally stop it. i think i mean andrew obviously feels like he needs to get version of truth. get his version of the truth. that's interesting. it's interesting that, you know , interesting that, you know, harry evicted from frogmore harry was evicted from frogmore cottage like a day or two days after the spare members came out, wasn't it? yeah. so i mean, you know, he does have the king can pressure. yeah andrew can apply pressure. yeah andrew wrote this book, couldn't possibly take any of the royalties he'd have to give them to charity, wouldn't he? i mean, i would assume so, yes. but i just. just don't understand just. i just don't understand why anyone publish it. that's the this the thing is, the thing. this is the thing is, as you said, he's so toxic. would you publish this book? i

mean , who's going to buy it? sue mean, who's going to buy it? sue me. once we talk about this? one of us. but do you think harry and meghan are going to go to the coronation? of course they are, because they are seeking a kind. exactly. i think that your meghan markle, you see some of the invitations have been done by right? stitches . by email, right? no stitches. 0h, by email, right? no stitches. oh, save money. and again, oh, to save money. and again, save money on mental. yes just so the list is a stiff fee is one of those big cards that you put on which i like i like on my money. they're all done by email and which to save money. yeah. and of course harry and meghan discourtesy and of course harry and meghan discourtedon't that. i know well we don't know that. i know we do. we do know. definitely not said whether they're going to not. it's the way they to it or not. it's the way they will i was so but will come. i was so nervous, but you like whatever you you said i like whatever you were yeah. moving swiftly were going. yeah. moving swiftly on. andrew. you. on. sorry, andrew. thank you. come let's talk about come right. let's talk about your story, which you've chosen. the express and all 20 million brits facing a life of wait, those i mean, you look those drugs. i mean, you look gorgeous as lovely and it what's this know this story about? do you know what really interesting what this is really interesting for me as well. and is probably

to do the fact that we are to do with the fact that we are driving into this culture where we all heavily pressure to look and feel a certain way right? so ultimately and you know, you're going to have a bunch of people that are going to be on weight loss drugs because they want to maintain a particular weight and look, because they are pressured to, feel that way like you just can't yourself. you have to can't be yourself. you have to follow guess i have follow a trend. i guess i have some i have some insider knowledge on this because i am actually on mp and have been on for a few years because i struggled all my life with my weight. i have really underactive thyroid and it's very difficult for me to keep weight off and about three years ago i went to see a gastric surgeon because i've been on all these diet. i mean, 200 days i've had over the years and this very unflattering, in fact, graphs me on the internet that will that view. and will confirm that view. and i went see gastric surgeon went to see a gastric surgeon because wanted get because i wanted to get a gastric sleeve because tried gastric sleeve because i tried everything, you know, i diet, exercise, nothing much . and exercise, but nothing much. and he said and this was my finest

moment. he said, i'm so sorry. you're fat to you're too fat to have a catheter, so you're too thin to have go, know, not enough have it go, you know, not enough for a gastric sleeve, which made me laugh anyway. he put me me laugh anyway. so he put me on his and have to say, i his mic and i have to say, i think it's fantastic. i've it. what is it just, you what it does is it just, you know , do in a beast and know, we do live in a beast and in a beast in society we are surrounded by food that's bad for whole thing and the for us. this whole thing and the express out of henry express comes out of henry dimbleby book, which is dimbleby, his new book, which is ravenous, about the ravenous, which is about how the food has out, food industry has worked out, that basically we're sort of genetically programmed as genetically programmed to eat as much can of certain foods, much as we can of certain foods, and then just shoves those foods in direction. so processed in our direction. so processed foods, fat foods, high salt, high fat content it very difficult content makes it very difficult for to sort of , content makes it very difficult for to sort of, resist and for us to sort of, resist and you know, as epic has, what it doesisit you know, as epic has, what it does is it simply it works on the hunger hormones in your stomach. so it switches them off to an extent, which means that you don't have that constantly, which i used to have as someone who was always trying to lose weight being constantly weight of being constantly hungry and feeling all time, hungry and feeling all the time, you know , not thinking about

you know, not thinking about food constantly. i didn't think about food at all. now it is just literally something that i do occasionally in order to, you know, make sure i don't . so can know, make sure i don't. so can i say no? i mean, obviously i just say no? i mean, obviously , you you had a medical , you know, you had a medical issue, issue, which issue, thyroid issue, which means, , this drug is means, you know, this drug is very health but do you very health with you. but do you think it can make people lazy if they're learning? doesn't they're not learning? it doesn't attrition. it doesn't really work that. i think that work like that. i think that i think what was initially think what it was initially it was developed as a as was initially developed as a as a pre—diabetic drug . so what it a pre—diabetic drug. so what it doesisit a pre—diabetic drug. so what it does is it stabilises blood sugan does is it stabilises blood sugar, one of the one sugar, which is one of the one of the big problems with people who i think the who have diabetes. i think the thing is that it you know, people spend a lot of time talking about fat people , which talking about fat people, which iused talking about fat people, which i used to be one. so i can really use the word fat and saying that we're lazy and we're stupid and we don't know to stupid and we don't know how to eat and we badly eat and we eat badly and we don't about nutrients. not don't know about nutrients. not really a lot of cases really true in a lot of cases a lot of people who are overweight are trying to be are really trying not to be overweight. for a variety of overweight. but for a variety of reasons, they can't they can't win the battle. and the thing reasons, they can't they can't wiris he battle. and the thing reasons, they can't they can't wiris that attle. and the thing reasons, they can't they can't wiris that your and the thing

reasons, they can't they can't wiris that your biologye thing reasons, they can't they can't wiris that your biology is1ing is, is that your biology is against you because you are, you know, industry know, the food industry annual biology works you biology kind of works you i think the issue here is that diabetes costs the nhs and 40 you to take care of cancer take you to take care of cancer take you know it's the biggest killer now of the car after cancer so i think it's more i don't know it's more expensive to deal with that. yeah lung related cancers smoking related issues this you know this this is a way of i mean, i'm a very pragmatic person . i just think at the end person. i just think at the end of the day, if you can't, you know, you want the best outcome for your patients, don't you ? for your patients, don't you? cause, you know, if this is what it is, not a miracle drug it is, it's not a miracle drug by any means , but it is really by any means, but it is really helpful in helping people maintain a healthy diet. are there any side effects ? well, i there any side effects? well, i don't seem to have any. i know there are some, but it doesn't seem to be. it doesn't affect me at all. so i'm one of the lucky ones, i guess what it has done is it's re—educated . my way of

is it's re—educated. my way of eating, which is that i don't eating, which is that i don't eat as fast as i used to. i i'm not as i was always a bit of a labrador when it came to food, you know, i eat my food too . so, you know, i eat my food too. so, you know, i eat my food too. so, you know, i eat my food too. so, you know, and i would always think that was why i was always overeating. so i would eat so fast and my stomach couldn't keep up with it, know keep up with it, if you know what i mean is this is this not like is this not like an excuse for this? this like an excuse for this? this is like an excuse for this? this is like an excuse for people, isn't it? i mean, is it how you how live it choice? how you how you live your lifestyle and what foods your lifestyle and what foods you have enough education and you we have enough education and information available to us today to us, you know, the today to teach us, you know, the things perhaps didn't things that perhaps we didn't know so you know, know 20 years ago. so you know, what don't want have is what we don't want to have is this excuse where people think it's to be overweight, then it's okay to be overweight, then become on the nhs. become a burden on the nhs. thing i i would thing is that i would i would say like things put things say it's like things put things like smoking. for example, we used to give people help give used to give people help to give up people find up smoking that way people find it to resist it very difficult to resist tobacco know, is tobacco because you know, it is a highly addictive substance and the same is true of much of the food that is on shelves now food that is on our shelves now that is engineered to be

that it is engineered to be highly addictive. but the problem that as a problem it is, is that as a person who has a problem with addictive you can't simply addictive food, you can't simply stop will die stop eating because you will die . smoking, you . you can't stop smoking, you can't stop taking drugs. you can't stop taking drugs. you can't stop taking drugs. you can't stop doing those things that you. but people that are bad for you. but people have a problem food. it's have a problem with food. it's and become toxic in our and food has become toxic in our society because because the food industry pushes all this stuff that's totally , you know, is that's totally, you know, is this really highly manufactured and the stuff that's cheap and this is a crucial point, you know, in a cost of living crisis. but it's also free to joke. it's free to go outside your house and it's to free wall street to try to exercise and i mean, i used to go and i used to do high intensity training twice a day. i mean, it wasn't like i wasn't exercising, but exercise is isn't what makes you lose weight. exercise you it's weight. exercise makes you it's good for your heart and it's good for your heart and it's good for your fitness. but it's not it doesn't really make you lose weight unless a sort lose weight unless you're a sort of athlete. i mean, of olympic athlete. i mean, you need to everything need to combine everything together. have the together. you've got to have the eating you've to eating lifestyle. you've got to have exercise. those have the exercise. all of those

things. i think a lot things. but also, i think a lot of people eat for other reasons. they for psychological they eat for psychological reasons. they eat because they're depressed. they eat because know, we talk because the you know, we talk about eating your feelings. these are all complicated issues. and the thing about them issues. and the thing about them is reason it's exploded is is the reason it's exploded is because does work. because it actually does work. it's drug that has it's the first drug that has really trialled tested really been trialled and tested that makes a that actually makes a difference. and you know, i guess it saved nhs money. it guess it was saved nhs money. it is , yeah. it was save the nhs. is, yeah. it was save the nhs. well yeah. i mean anything, anything to save the nhs from the burdens and the money and you know, those are all positive things. i just like the things. i just don't like the fact we have this excuse fact that we have this excuse ability being and ability about being humans and how have very simple how we can just have very simple food choices and lifestyle rules that inevitably will avoid things like this, you know, very simple we can do to even simple things we can do to even encourage the culture in our homes, the that we have homes, the fact that we have kids their computers they kids on their computers and they tablets phones all tablets and their phones all of the we need to get them the time. we need to get them out. we're going to out. otherwise, we're going to see more this. and see a lot more of this. and i certainly don't like the fact that people who overweight that people who are overweight are have to take are going to have to take tablets for something or

testing powers, a ban on laughing gas and an immediate justice scheme that would see vandals forced to clean up damage within 48 hours. well, joining us for more is a senior lecturer of social allergy and criminology apata university, stuart waite and stuart, morning. we are urging the prime minister and we want this to be a success because most people watching and listening to gb news have been victims of social that bad social behaviour, but practically can it really work work ? so the problem that we see work? so the problem that we see targeting antisocial behaviour anywhere is that what happened this happened in developed under tony blair is that you started to punish formerly with the police forms of behaviour that previously were seen as non—criminal. so i don't have a problem with simply the vandalism where you have criminals, but the problem with

antisocial behaviour framework is that rather than encouraging people to be responsible , i people to be responsible, i think it encourages not to take responsibility for community is by which i mean historically things like people making a noise or kids being a problem is something that you would expect local people to actually do with themselves to a certain extent. the problem with the behaviour is that it constantly encourages people to think that they should be forming a council for the police . the normal thing things police. the normal thing things something you need to have a separation, an understanding that there are things that should be police issues that this people should be held to account. but also things we should engage communities to become community. so if you become community. so if you become a community by phone of the police, all the time, you become a community by getting to know people, by developing a certain and dealing with some of

the more difficult people. and so this might be difficult and hard to do to argue , but you hard to do to argue, but you can't just create communities through police . it's there through police. it's there because we've got a bit of a bad signal this year. but thank you very for joining us. signal this year. but thank you very forjoining us. stewart said about calling the police. good luck with that. well yeah, it's good time. yeah. yeah no one until the one thought that until the police exactly. do police station. exactly. what do you do you phone? and you think? who do you phone? and i know, but they will. they will come. will round, by come. they will come round, by the way, if you do a non crime hate it's like you know, hate thing, it's like you know, as a woman, if i'm talking about battered copper. battered woman, i love a copper. the door's angular transphobe . the door's angular transphobe. if a burglary, i give if i report a burglary, i give you a crime reference number. yeah, it doesn't yeah, because it doesn't is exactly new first exactly scotland's new first witness be revealed witness is going to be revealed this afternoon. it's a big day in scotland because s&p in scotland because the s&p leadership it leadership contest closes it literally minutes. it's literally in 50 minutes. it's very exciting . now, very exciting. now, a contentious race has been a bitterly fought the airwaves bitterly fought on the airwaves and ground with polling and on the ground with polling putting the front runners, putting the two front runners, humza yousaf and kate forbes, neck neck . now scotland neck and neck. now scotland reporter mcgrath is in

reporter tony mcgrath is in holyrood us right now . tony, holyrood for us right now. tony, we're to just after about we're going to just after about 2:00, i think. who is the winner 7 2:00, i think. who is the winner ? yes certainly here at holyrood, the media has gathered and one side which you can see behind me and of course it's all about who's. and then the golden chair and the whole that it's here and certainly has been quite a long six weeks and you know, a lot of people will will quite rightly say the snp aren't coming out of this any better than the when and a three major resignation is on top of obviously nicola sturgeon . and obviously nicola sturgeon. and a ending slew of headlines and certainly neck and neck really between the two frontrunners humza yousaf and they seem to be has to lose from the opening days of this contest and interestingly it will very much likely come down to ash regan and her voters. second

preference vote and the way that it work is if there is no single candidate with 50% plus one of the total and then the third place will be disqualified . ash place will be disqualified. ash regan, of course, has been lagging behind in third place. the whole contest . and so to the whole contest. and so to play the whole contest. and so to play for today though and certainly could could it really go either way. am that the new first minister as well be decided by parliament tomorrow their entry will be busting fill of the issues that are really deau of the issues that are really dealt with by the next leader of scotland. and it's not nicola sturgeon who's going to of course tony, her husband peter murrell, who was the chief executive at the scottish national party making them a really extraordinarily really most extraordinarily powerful husband wife powerful husband and wife couple. he's been forced out to because of this ongoing controversy , the police controversy, the police investigation into some £600,000 of money which may have been spent on an independence campaign when it had actually

been raised specifically for other work . yes it certainly other work. yes it certainly seems that peter murrell, along with nicola sturgeon. murray foote , of course, the chief of foote, of course, the chief of communications and then leslie to used to be nicola sturgeon's chief staff and then came on be aspired to special adviser. all of them have have now left which begs the question is this going to be the same snp that these three candidates thought they were going to be leading into the race. it to be that the party is has made a lot of changes. i reckon that whoever is elected to be the new leader of the party will make more changes. of the party will make more changes . and certainly you know, changes. and certainly you know, it seems to me looking at communications coming through in my inbox , they've responded my inbox, they've responded somewhat to the criticism and taken into consideration that , taken into consideration that, however, that the party has been running since alex salmond took over and nearly 20 years ago, no , you know, we've moved on and.

the public expectation of them is higher , especially when the is higher, especially when the health service , the economy and health service, the economy and many other parts of society aren't really living up to the people of scotland standards. so yes, certainly it's going to be a really interesting week here. and david, we're going to see that unfold with you here in gb news. so interesting . it's news. so interesting. it's interesting, isn't it? yeah, but think the people maybe are going to come out. the winners are the labour party. probably they will. tony, thanks so much. thank you. because labour party had one mp after the general election won. yes, before ten. they used to have the majority of mp. they could because of the of mp. they could because of the of the s&p get maybe 19 or 20. well, they could big difference to the labour get an overall majority. exactly. so it could be good news for keir starmer, which is interesting. but i mean, the latest opinion polls show that independence show that backing independence has 39% this month. has dropped 39% this month. yeah. after going up to 58% in 2020, which means her her reign

as first minister in eight years is a failure because the snp exist to get independence it's now lower probably than in the pubuc now lower probably than in the public polls when she arrived . public polls when she arrived. and we know that education and the is in a big problem in scotland is the drugs death capital of europe is fascinating the today is humza yousaf basically was in charge health. yeah and it's like how many of scottish nhs has been in a terrible. 17 of the 20 constituent constituencies with the lowest life expectancy in britain are in scotland. it's just extraordinary which is which is terrifying. well they've been culturally so much on the referendum issue and independent and been bang on independent and all been bang on independence all of independence. and all three of them said they deliver them said that they deliver independence five years. and independence in five years. and i a child, my i thought when i was a child, my mother would say, show me your tongue. there's pimples on your tongue. there's pimples on your tongue just lied. was tongue you just lied. and i was looking those three thinking, looking at those three thinking, i they've pimples. i wonder if they've got pimples. they we they absolutely not. what we need exclusives now with them need is exclusives now with them and get in there sticking their tongues. did your tongues. so 60. how did your mother determine determine whether lying ? never whether you were lying? i never told of course

told lies. oh, of course i didn't. i went to be a tabloid journalist. i've never told lies on that. so now what's coming up? go on. still to come today, a backed action is a government backed action is hoping to boost the number of people with a learning disability towards getting into employment. we'll you how they hope to achieve this . that's up hope to achieve this. that's up just after you up . how just after you went up. how again ? aidan mcgivern here from again? aidan mcgivern here from the met office it's been a cold and frosty start to monday, but and frosty start to monday, but a fine day follows for most of us with some sunny spells , odd us with some sunny spells, odd showers, possible , but in showers, still possible, but in general, a ridge of high pressure is across the uk . pressure is across the uk. that's leading to a largely settled day. we've had this cold northerly airflow, but as that moves away as well , it's moves away as well, it's actually going to feel a bit more pleasant this afternoon with the sun coming through with light winds, even though we've got cold air in place. it's got that cold air in place. it's going to feel alright in the sunshine. 1 to 2 seasons though. showers possible in the far north—east of scotland. also the odd shower of rain possible in the southwest of england . it's

the southwest of england. it's in southwest, actually, in the southwest, actually, although we've got a bit more cloud where the highest cloud here where the highest temperatures will be 13 or 14 celsius, somewhere like north devon. it's the evening. the cloud largely disappears a cloud largely disappears for a time a result there'll be time and as a result there'll be a frost forming across scotland into eastern england and area of fairly heavy rain and sleet will affect shetland. meanwhile, thickening to the west and some outbreaks of rain, along with a freshening breeze, will keep things frost free. in northern ireland, wales in the south—west of england, whilst temperatures down to minus three or four celsius possible across north—east scotland . a bright north—east scotland. a bright start in north—east scotland. first thing elsewhere. a lot of cloud cover . that cloud crossing cloud cover. that cloud crossing the country, spells of rain on and off through the day. for most of us. by the afternoon, the rain turning to showers across northern ireland with brighter skies. that's the warmest . northern ireland warmest spot. northern ireland with spells , 13 or 14 with some sunny spells, 13 or 14 celsius feeling rather cold. i think in the east where we've got the cloud coming in after that frosty starts and we've got

the cloud remaining across most of the uk tuesday night with further spells of rain across northern scot island and showers through northern ireland into western scotland and northwest england. then further rain to come on wednesday, heavy showers and sunny spells on thursday , and sunny spells on thursday, but it's going to be mild

good morning. welcome back. it's a 1120 and you're with andrew pierce and dawn neesom on gb news and this is to the point well, a new government backed a new government backed what is it is a new government backed national action today to help boost the number of people with a learning disability or autism spectrum to help them. it's very worth it is to get back employment. the scheme led by charity fm research, aims to showcase the contributions that young adults with special educational needs and disabilities can make to the

workforce. as well as raise awareness for the positive impacts of supported internship. so joining us for more is the chief executive in the dfm project cert, claire cookson . project cert, claire cookson. well, as co—production assistant , harry jules, you. good morning to you . and if we could go to to you. and if we could go to you first. what how important is this claire. i mean, it's . how this claire. i mean, it's. how much is this help ? this help is much is this help? this help is this going to bring to people ? this going to bring to people? huge. it's very important at this moment time. 4.8% of people who have a learning disability autism spectrum condition are known to adult services are in paid work. so 95% of this population i know we run a supported internship program, which is this transition to employment program for these young adults. and 70% get jobs. this changes their lives. it changes that life outcome . it changes that life outcome. it changes that life outcome. it changes the contribution they make to society, changes the way business is run to , you know, business is run to, you know, this, everybody deserves this

opportunity. and so today is this real celebration of the interns that are already doing this , of the companies that are this, of the companies that are already doing this? all of our partners . but already doing this? all of our partners. but it's already doing this? all of our partners . but it's saying to partners. but it's saying to companies, come on, partner with us and let's get this opportunity out there for more young adults . what sort of young adults. what sort of companies are are already working with you, claire lowes then there's a hospital trust universal cities, local authorities , but then some authorities, but then some private sector organisations , private sector organisations, financial services , loads of financial services, loads of different companies right now. but you know what? there's so many more that could be partnering with us and it's through a department for education commission in partnership with the national development and inclusion , our development and inclusion, our partners at the british association of sports equipment we get we're to double the number of people that do this transition to employment . and transition to employment. and yet we know we could work with distribution and we could work with all sources , every could with all sources, every could support this and increase . support this and increase.

claire how can. how can companies get involved if they do want to take part in this scheme, what's the best way i've got works? it's i've i've got a very close friend who's got a daughter, 18 years old, with a learner's ability. and, you know, she has, you know, sacrificed so much and, you know, daughter is doing incredibly well now. so how can firms get involved and youngsters reach out to us at dfm projects? that's an dfm project search talk or through our commission through the department, working through the department of education at internship works , we would internship works, we would connect people with that a consultancy and their support employment providers and, the local companies in that area . local companies in that area. and we really can together we can do this we want to get 10,000 people into jobs by 30, 20,000 into jobs by 2035. we really want to create this movement together . i think it's movement together. i think it's brilliant what you're and harry, you know , you're in your you know, you're in your twenties, harry, and you have a and learning disability and

you've taken part in one of these programmes. can you just tell us what it meant to you , tell us what it meant to you, how it's helped you ? so how can how it's helped you? so how can you explain something that comes once your life that is not might sound ridiculously high, you say, but it is truly unbelievable . i now get the unbelievable. i now get the opportunity to go to work pre where in the real quick to most simplest things in life and being able to afford grown up meals being able to go go out with friends connect with families and have very grown up conversations . it's very the conversations. it's very the impact. it's unbelievable teens in that program and that in your school or college you could do in your family here can leave you alone to a more healthy and fulfilling life that young people go have. and harry, was it like for you before you got involved with this project? what

were you doing with your so before i and it did five, eight, isuppose before i and it did five, eight, i suppose an internship. i was in school, i doing quite a normal and 17,18 year old, my normal and 17, 18 year old, my two year old and somebody disparity was doing i was getting ready to go to college and getting ready unfortunately to fall off some things that i believe is if effects if i'm told it says to intensity are their beds is people when they reach 25 you suddenly do not get the opportunity to have going to school. and if all of us can do for because i felt and find themselves and find myself maybe just with nothing to do with nothing with no and this very threatening not not that that's been no fault of their own because services are on sets of to support young adults and post 25 or whatever and health

conditions that one day gain employment . so if you so before employment. so if you so before my full companionship i was thinking one i going to do with my life if i don't get a job and i really did not know i was very at least some did not no three or harry claire claire harry's proof that living proof of why this is so important and how effective it can be. she really is. and so we're lucky enough to work alongside , harry, in truth. work alongside, harry, in truth. but we have a thousand young adults coming from the same place that harry came from programs. right now, i think such value to that work place 2000 undergraduates of different projects that to put on get full time paid jobs they are proof and that's how they were organised should say to of all the time it changes their organisation for the better product liberty goes off staff satisfy goes on customers such function goes up as people with a learning disability stay in

suffered , liz felt that he was suffered, liz felt that he was not sufficiently punished. it went off and for as far as what i've got to take from that is the system doesn't really benefit victims anywhere. boston was released from prison last year , having served just half of year, having served just half of his sentence and being moved to an open prison without liz being informed . but after all of these informed. but after all of these failures , liz has secured a failures, liz has secured a landmark legal victory with the high court awarding a massive £425,000 in damages after she took civil against boston for the crimes he was found guilty of in 2018. i hope that people say this is a landmark case, not the floodgates have just opened . and i hope that it brings it bnngs . and i hope that it brings it brings up to other survivors. but i hope that the perpetrators that commit these crimes historically present, that commit these crimes historically present , know that historically present, know that if this is out, they're going to behave. this is what they're going to get. does it give you hope that even if the criminal

justice system survivors can fight for themselves to get the justice they deserve? yeah, i think it's absolutely imperative andifs think it's absolutely imperative and it's been a long process was being taught the way i see it. and i do hope that most survivors can come forward and, bnng survivors can come forward and, bring their perpetrators to justice. what do you think a scarred boston feels like today i that it feels like i have done for the last 22 years and i hope that this has led in a very very expensive life pleasure. elizabeth is one of thousands of britons, many gang victims, but many feel , though, the many feel, though, the punishments that perpetrators were insufficient . elizabeth's were insufficient. elizabeth's lawyer now believes that with this landmark ruling, more punishments will finally arrive . liz is lawyer robyn taken her case to create a new legal precedent for grooming gang survivors. think we've got an icebreaker here where people can see what can be done and hopefully many will follow. they've been failed. certainly

by the almost the system at last. there is an opportunity. get some justice, some real justice. tilbrook now hopes that this ice breaker case will lead to a new opportunities for survivors to take control and seek justice. i hope it will give them some closure on what happened. at last, we've an opportunity individuals to get some justice. this has broken the ice. it shows path to follow and we've now got to clear way of achieving for justice these girls. we've all been let down, you know, so we have a process bringing the abuse child to growing up psychological damage to then not being able to access the service that we need because the service that we need because the funding is not there. it's consistent failure. i just wanted to do something for every single survivor that suffered in this in this country. it's neven this in this country. it's never, ever been about money for

me , it's about justice. and me, it's about justice. and basically being able to take control back. and because time after time we see this pattern of the survivors come last, the perpetrator is come first. so i'm hoping that this case does bnng i'm hoping that this case does bring that forward and that they actually if throughout crimes now against new victims and neutral urine that this they just think well that could be me . amazing exclusive report and let's hope it does encourage more people come forward with their stories because otherwise this is not going to stop. right still come, police are set to still to come, police are set to receive the receive funding to aid the madeleine mccann case. we're bringing the latest on long after your morning news with . after your morning news with. tamsin don't. thank you. here are the headlines from. the gb newsroom at 1132. the prime minister says he's taking a zero tolerance approach to

it's 1138 you're with to the point on gb news. now in the times our sex offenders of crimes just by just saying sorry that's on the front page of the daily mail today extraordinary pleased to talk pleased to be joined to talk about papers. anti—racism about the papers. anti—racism campaigner and campaigner bucha sheikh and daily columnist and my daily mail columnist and my colleague. ahead, a mate, sarah . hello hello to you, sir, on this topic also feature well they like during the break say it's like get a broom this way

this is extraordinary sex offenders let's up crimes just by saying sorry include thing by the way rapists what is happening to the system i know it's this is quite an interesting story. i mean i think in some cases they say that, you know , that the problem that, you know, that the problem with sex offences is it's quite a wide range isn't . it so it a wide range isn't. it so it goes right from sort of bottom pinching and inappropriate advances to actual rape. and i think that's kind of that's the that's the difficulty here i mean, there will be moments where this in the story where this is in the story sometimes between underage children. they can sort of make an agreement in order for them, you know, provided both parties feel that it's a good thing to do. but i think the idea of rapists just being allowed to sort apologise is bit much. sort of apologise is bit much. i mean, really yeah, i'm sorry. they should be attacked. they should be in any way, shape or form. even if it was just someone my bottom, someone pinching my bottom, i mean, apologise. going mean, and apologise. not going to sorry. well i mean, to wash up. sorry. well i mean, i. when i was young and attractive, i used to get the

occasional overture and, you know, for me, people that you didn't want to give you the occasional and sometimes people behave and think behave appropriately and think there scope handling there is a scope for handling yourself, but everybody can yourself, but not everybody can do . no. so i think it's do that. no. so i think it's very difficult and it seems to me giving them giving the me that giving them giving the opportunities police to make opportunities to police to make these decisions quite a bad these decisions is quite a bad idea. seen recently, idea. as we've seen recently, the are not exactly the police are not exactly reliable this . and, you know, reliable in this. and, you know, if we look at the met's record on, you know , the treatment of on, you know, the treatment of women, it's, you know , it's not women, it's, you know, it's not ideal women, it's, you know, it's not ideal. and according to the analysis, official figures say apologies were allowed for grooming and flashing offences. now flashing offences do we not anything from cousins lincoln cousins emergency or ever. yeah he was flashing and it was reported and the police did nothing because he was a police officer and who hasn't been flashed. right. i you know, i've had it, you know , we all get it. had it, you know, we all get it. yes have to say, i have to agree with you. yeah. yeah. i don't think i know a single woman who i think, you know,

i mean, i think, you know, because sometimes, you know, you get so used this stuff that get so used to this stuff that you of you even in your own you sort of you even in your own head, you of think it's not head, you sort of think it's not a annoying with a seriously annoying thing with this ladies, is the fact this one, ladies, is the fact that flashing and it's indecent exposure basically might exposure basically you might decide benny decide that something at benny hill indecent hill doesn't it. it's indecent that's only a sex criminal that's only been a sex criminal offence since 2003. i her isn't it. it was like a nuisance thing, it's like. yeah. and so many i think it's something like 5 to 10% of people who do indecent exposure go, i'll go on to do it. although sex. absolutely yeah. so it's just such a problem, especially for young in this world. so young girl in this world. so i mean, think of this mean, what do you think of this report, the fact you know, report, the fact that, you know, say sorry, it's actually really alarming. i'll tell you why i think it's alarming because think it's alarming is because there's here called there's something in here called there's something in here called the community resolution and the police . police have the power to do. they that do ask the they are saying that do ask the victim if they want to have this type of, you know, resolve . but type of, you know, resolve. but i believe that that should be taken out of out of their hands. and i believe if it's a rape case and if the victim is saying this is sexual abuse, they shouldn't have the power to ask

for that type of it should go straight court. also, straight to the court. also, this coercive control . this is also coercive control. know of people, a of know a lot of people, a lot of women sometimes i think women feel sometimes i think that they can quite that they they they can be quite easily bullied sort of easily bullied into sort of backing on charges if they backing down on charges if they feel that, you know, i wasn't 12 and to like and you're made to feel like you're just gigantic fuss in you're just a gigantic fuss in that. almost certainly the that. yeah almost certainly the police officers trying to persuade into making persuade women into making apologies, they'll be blokes. yeah. we said that. yeah. so we said about that. absolutely. and thing absolutely. and the thing is that what do about that what do know about perpetrators they, they don't perpetrators is they, they don't ever offend. it's never a one time thing. and we know this by stats. if it's once it's going to happen again. i mean, the other is i don't other problem is i don't think there is that case last week or there is that case last week or the before about, that the week before about, that woman who sort of hit herself in the a hammer had the face a hammer and had accused all those of assaulting her. it doesn't her. i think it doesn't when, you you cases like you know, you get cases like that people obviously do that where people obviously do make allegations that make up allegations that that really all the work. really undermines all the work. and of course, also raises and of course, that also raises the whole argument again about should men been accused of rape and sex offences be named ? but

and sex offences be named? but not because i don't think i think until i reckon i think not until they're actually in court. i mean, you know , until the cps i mean, you know, until the cps decides that there's a case for prosecution, i think that they be named because if cps will decide if that's the case, if they think they've got a sufficient evidence, if it doesn't go to prosecute then, then i don't think it's fair for them to be mean. that's just my personal. do think, though, personal. do you think, though, bushra, that you know by bushra, that that you know by naming people who have been accused there accused it encourages if there are out surely it are other victims out surely it encourages those victims to come forward is true. forward as well. it is true. and, you know, there is a balance as well. at the balance there as well. at the same they've not same time, if they've not actually been you know, it's actually been you know, if it's not a crime, if it's not been convicted, if there wasn't fulfilling evidence it, then we really carefully really have to tread carefully because or four because those three or four gentlemen had in their gentlemen that they had in their lives. yeah. oh, yeah , sure. you lives. yeah. oh, yeah, sure. you got eight and half years, by got eight and a half years, by the that which is not the way. that which is not enough. not enough. and has mother the money, mother given back the money, which to give woman which is to give this woman i know there some question know there was some question over over £20,000. and over that was over £20,000. and i people mean sorry,

i mean, some people mean sorry, hitting the face hitting yourself in the face with a hammer. yeah. it's quite an extraordinary thing to do in order ruin people's order to try and ruin people's lives. mean, these people, lives. i mean, these people, you know, unfortunately. know, do exist, unfortunately. that's the trouble that thankfully quite rare anyway. thankfully is quite rare anyway. yeah. you know, we are a lot about her, whereas, you know, sarah everard is killer if is indecent exposure because think seriously, everard might seriously, sarah everard might still be us. but shall we still be with us. but shall we move on to another case is ongoing, isn't it? bush this is your story from the email again . yeah. police are set to get new funding to aid the madeleine mccann case. i quote i don't get it. i don't i don't get it. and, you know, i fully, fully with the family and i understand, you know, what they might be going through even up until this point. and as parents, you will do everything that you want to do everything that you want to do find child. but do to find your child. but inevitably, this is going to the home office. taxpayers home office. it's taxpayers money. have to say , when money. and we have to say, when do we call it a day? when is it that we stop funding? 16 years. she just but also, i think there are so many other families who have children. children

are so many other families who have gone:hildren. children are so many other families who have gone missing.zhildren are so many other families who have gone missing. yeah.en have gone missing. yeah. potential only abducted and they've haven't had they've they haven't had anything the amount of time anything like the amount of time and police money and effort spent on finding that just it's not really fair. i do think i mean, i think you know, if the parents want to raise their own funds if they want of course funds and if they want of course that's completely okay and you know with police know then work with police because i'm sure the police have done an awful lot of and done an awful lot of work. and it the reason that it may be that the reason that they're asking for extra they're asking for this extra money, that money, because they think that they're just about to get the case the i don't know, case over the line i don't know, maybe remember meeting mrs. a maybe i remember meeting mrs. a saying, at a saying, mrs. mccann at a reception. it was in the lunch answered theresa may reception. it was in the lunch ansv home theresa may reception. it was in the lunch ansv home secretary theresa may reception. it was in the lunch ansv home secretary theresto iiay reception. it was in the lunch ansv home secretary theresto do was home secretary and was to do with charity. charity with. with a charity. charity with. and saw mandy mother and i saw mandy mccann's mother laughing and i remember thinking, oh, she's laughing what? to that it's what? she got to laugh that it's ridiculous because it was some years has to years gone and life has to go well. did talk and well. yeah. and i did talk and say and i being because i saw say and i am being because i saw you laughing. and so she said people think all the time yeah i've got twins my life has to go on yeah. without on in ohio. yeah. without madeleine and of course those laughter yeah. yeah. but it

still just struck me as odd to see it because you think she's going permanently weeping, going to be permanently weeping, almost mourning, because almost in mourning, because she's lost her beautiful young daughter. i just think there is, you know , obviously, you know, you know, obviously, you know, your heart goes out to the family and especially the sibling. two twins. yeah, sibling. the two twins. yeah, 18, think. yeah. they must be. 18, i think. yeah. they must be. yeah, absolutely. but know ben needham also went missing was missing a long time. needham also went missing was missing a longtime. i do missing for a long time. i do wonder the mccanns hadn't wonder if the mccanns hadn't been at such a middle class family , for want of a better family, for want of a better word, to go. yeah. and if you go. so if they'd have been sort of like, you know, more like ben needham's family, more working class or she hadn't been a white girl, you think would girl, do you think that would have a difference to how have made a difference to how much money time has much police money and time has been this case? sure. been put into this case? sure. and i know why because at the end of the day, when have end of the day, when we have cases like it's also about cases like this, it's also about the of coverage that this the type of coverage that this case to get in the case is going to get in the media. and the more attention grabbing is, they grabbing case that it is, they are going to push for it more. so have child goes missing

so we have child goes missing every night in the uk that 70,000 a year. wow. so 70,000 children a year. wow. so that's big, number. that's a big, big number. a majority are found presumably. yes. so they do like they all found within, i think 24 hours. and as as time goes on, and then as as the time goes on, it's is much more difficult. i think it's 50% of those children are that the fact are found. but that the fact that reported in every 90 that one is reported in every 90 seconds telling us how many seconds is telling us how many children is and is, you know children is and the is, you know , i don't want to say that it's because, know, they are why because, you know, they are why i want you the race card. i don't want you the race card. what i'm saying is that the story grabbing reports what i'm saying is that the storthe'abbing reports what i'm saying is that the storthe onesig reports what i'm saying is that the storthe ones that reports what i'm saying is that the storthe ones that the reports what i'm saying is that the storthe ones that the police ts what i'm saying is that the storthe ones that the police are are the ones that the police are going to push for when it comes to funding. is if you can remember , it triggered the most remember, it triggered the most extraordinary debate about should parents leave their children sleeping in hot water accommodation while they're having a meal with their friends? they could almost see the park from where they were sitting and huge debate. huge sitting and it huge debate. huge debate. then again, an debate. and then again, such an awful time they did quite unfairly. they were demonised because demonised because they were demonised because they were demonised because that you know, because the truth that you know, if some lunatic is going to come along and take your child, they

can it any they can. can do it at any point they can. you there's lots of other you know, there's lots of other opportunities the opportunities to put the probably the place i am probably state the place i am i am just i thought really uncomfortable as uncomfortable with that as a parent. very uncomfortable. i've never children never left any of my children when were young at a resort when they were young at a resort in room . it'sjust in a hotel room. it's just something i never do something that i would never do . and, you know, for me, i'm like, i would just have holidays to children to make sure that my children even if i could them, even if i could see them, because them at because anything between them at that that space, that time in that space, something can happen. i wouldn't i wouldn't risk i can i wouldn't risk that. i can remember went to remember when we went to butlin's and my butlin's a couple years and my parents off in the evening parents went off in the evening and festival in and we've the festival were in the chalet but they took the view the redcoats and when my parents leave me on my parents used to leave me on my own to babysit my own in the house to babysit my brother from about the age of eight. really. yeah they'd go out restaurant out similar to the restaurant and then we lived in italy and they'd down the road the they'd go down the road to the restaurant i've been and restaurant and i've been and i've mean, i i've been lucky. i mean, so i think everybody's different. yeah. think we just yeah. oh, do you think we just have more crazy people now? because there time we because there was a time we could out on our streets? could play out on our streets? yeah and can't do that. there yeah and we can't do that. there seems be a in this kind of

seems be a rise in this kind of behaviour of so than behaviour of more so now than even i was a child. so even when i was a child. so you'd never them alone. i've neven you'd never them alone. i've never, ever left them, i must confess. i mean, i'm like when we little. yeah, it was we were little. yeah, it was like, know, was left like, you know, i was left looking after sister. she looking after my sister. she survived. idea sorry. survived. i've no idea sorry. and by the way, you're and by the way, if you're watching, like, full brother the say together watching, like, full brother the say the together watching, like, full brother the say the very together watching, like, full brother the say the very first together watching, like, full brother the say the very first time together watching, like, full brother the say the very first time i ogether watching, like, full brother the say the very first time i was her but the very first time i was out look after my niece for out to look after my niece for sure, i was like you. it's like, you know, my out so i was you know, my went out so i was like, we're on holiday. so i was literally sitting bottom, literally sitting at the bottom, my nieces, also terrified my nieces, but also terrified that she would stop breathing a lot someone lot better. i mean, someone breaking my head. but i was breaking into my head. but i was just terrified. i was sitting just so terrified. i was sitting there like that and there staring at like that and she actually woke in the she actually woke up in the middle night, terrified middle of the night, terrified and actually terrified and actually i terrified the life it's like life out of. so yeah, it's like you probably still do know you just might have started stuff now, but i think you to now, but i think you used to walk school at the age of walk to school at the age of primary would primary school. you would walk to end. primary school. you would walk to end is primary school. you would walk to end. is that to school on your end. is that leaving your child. yeah vulnerable, i don't know. i mean, school, mean, school cycle to school, you know, i don't have a car. i don't if i'm just that extra cautious because i my just everyone home. i'm

everyone me takes it home. i'm like, me when you're like, text me when you're walking. me you were walking. text me when you were the takes me with you but the gates takes me with you but i'm constant like that when i'm just fearful. shields mother puts in for when she puts her in a pool for when she was and she i mean, was 11, and she did. i mean, god, you the times have god, you know, the times have really changed and probably just as well, richard branson tell that story he made into that story that he was made into the because his the man he was because his mother booted him out of the car when seven. find when he was about seven. to find your tells us it your own way home tells us it toughens him up. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. i mean, all we rapping showed up in court more now. yes. yeah, think so. now. yes. yeah, i think so. i so, know, i do try to find so, you know, i do try to find the balance as parent i think the balance as a parent i think maybe because a single maybe it's because i'm a single parent. of doing two parent. so i'm kind of doing two roles the same time. maybe roles at the same time. maybe that could be why i'm doing it the way i am, but i definitely think there is a balance with, with you also with parenting and you also depends on the child. depends a lot on the child. i mean, i was an especially prissy child, so, know, probably child, so, you know, probably quite the quite a good child. leave the baby sitter, mr. love, when we were left, because it meant my dad, had everything in dad, when they had everything in the we ended up the office, stay up, we ended up on ended up smashing the on we ended up smashing the glass porch door. once we had
