out british pakistani men as a particular concern. critics say excessively focusing on race could create new blindspots when tackling child specific issue of grooming gangs. we've had several independent inquiry is look at the incidents here rochdale but in rotherham and telford. and what's clear is that when victims other whistleblowers came forward that claims were ignored by social workers local or even the police . and the reason that they were ignored was due to cultural sensitivity , political sensitivity, political correctness. now, that's right . correctness. now, that's right. speaking exclusively to gbh , speaking exclusively to gbh, suella braverman says her comments on pakistani man were based on reviews and reports . based on reviews and reports. it's not racist to the truth about what has been on here in rochdale or in rotherham or in telford . local reviews and telford. local reviews and reports have confirmed that the grooming gangs scandal that has gone on here has been

will cross live to manchester crown court very shortly for live sentencing of thomas cashman for the murder of nine year old olivia pratt—korbel bowe. we do start , though with a bowe. we do start, though with a major win for gb news and the government is cracking down on grooming gangs with tougher sentences and a new taskforce and rishi sunak has said the political correctness won't stand in the way of tackling the problem. now it's up to suella braverman singled out british pakistan a men as being largely responsible . the horror of responsible. the horror of grooming problem. i made that comment at. an exclusive interview to gb news. that's eric. ultimately silence enabled this abuse. silence the part of professionals fear of being called racist fear about cultural sensitivity , his fear cultural sensitivity, his fear about inflaming cohesion in communities . it about inflaming cohesion in communities. it is about inflaming cohesion in communities . it is absolutely communities. it is absolutely vital that we call out the truth of what's been going on, and that's why mandatory reporting is an important tool in, the armoury of measures that we

announcing today. it's not racist to tell the truth about what has been going on here in rochdale , in rotherham or in rochdale, in rotherham or in telford . local reviews and have telford. local reviews and have confirmed that the grooming gangs scandal that has gone on here has been permeated by largely british men. now important not to demonise a whole community and the vast majority of british pakistanis are law abiding and, straightforward people . it is straightforward people. it is also clear to say that in these towns and i met victims today who've confirmed as much bearing out their own experience , that out their own experience, that there have been cultural trends in the practises that we've seen and authorities and professionals have turned a blind out of fear of being called racist political correctness can no longer be an obstacle to taking action i think big line for me there was it's not racist to tell the truth and i know that will be echoed by a lot of you get your

views coming in gb views the gbnews.uk after many many years where it's felt as though political correctness fear political correctness and fear seeming racist has either slowed down or hindered both police investigations and policy action when it comes to clamping down on grooming gangs. grooming gangs are, the scourge of britain, and how young, vulnerable mostly working class girls have to suffer before more is done about it. for more on this big story, i'm now joined by our political reporter, catherine forster catherine. thank you very much. we've been banging drum at gb news banging the drum at gb news about go about this, not letting this go for time. this, to be for a long time. and this, to be honest you feels like a bit honest with you feels like a bit of a win, unfortunately, it's obviously come much too late for all victims involved. yes it all the victims involved. yes it does like if action follows does feel like if action follows , are put into , if the resources are put into these , it could make a real these, that it could make a real difference. so although recess, although it's traditionally quiet , we're although it's traditionally quiet, we're only about a month of local elections, obviously very important. both labour and the and rishi the conservatives. and rishi suella braverman out about with lots to do. they feel that this sort of announcement is going to

be popular with lots and lots of people and they're not afraid about ruffling feathers. yeah, good. about ruffling feathers. yeah, good . so what exactly are they good. so what exactly are they actually going to do then? as far as we're aware. so for main measures outlined today, measures being outlined today, they're specialist they're going to have specialist taskforces , specialist, trained taskforces, specialist, trained officers going into areas with grooming problems that are trained in that sort of field they're going to have mandatory report of the ethnicity of perpetrators. that's new they're going to have tougher sentence saying there's more for money whistle blowing nspcc phone line where victims people can go for support and also they're making it a legal duty for people who work with children professionals , social worker teachers, etc. if they have evidence or suspect that a young person is being groomed , being sexually abused, groomed, being sexually abused, that they have to tell the appropriate it will be if an offence to just sit on the

sidelines and say nothing. because as i saying this they feel that very often people have known what's going on and they haven't wanted to say anything. they don't want to be branded racist, they don't want to rock the boat. and so lots of this has gone under the radar for a long, long time. well, actually, that was as not just that was as well, not just anecdotally talking to victims, but from south yorkshire but also from south yorkshire police, did have to an police, who did have to an extensive investigation internal investigation and inquiry into grooming gang , for example, in grooming gang, for example, in rotherham etc. and they did say that their investigations were unfortunately as a result of worrying about political and stoking racial tensions . so it stoking racial tensions. so it is a very real issue, isn't it? it certainly is. and obviously this is a problem that has been going on for decades under governments. i mean, the rochdale that was broken, i think, in 2012. by the time that had been going on under new labourin had been going on under new labour in rotherham, about 1500 girls had been abused from 1997

to 2013. so has got a monopoly on right or wrong, this obvious has been pointed out that a lot of these councils were labour councils . but labour by the same councils. but labour by the same token turning around and going, well, what you so long. keir starmer saying i was director of pubuc starmer saying i was director of public prosecutions when the rochdale case came up and we've been suggesting some of these measures years so a lot of blame being thrown around. yeah and important to say, of course most sexual offences committed by white men . but certainly there white men. but certainly there is evidence there are pockets in towns like these that british—pakistani men are heavily involved, obviously. thank very much. kathryn catherine forster. there are . catherine forster. there are. reporter just a little catherine forster. there are. reporterjust a little reminder our tv viewers will be able to see in the corner their screens there that we will be going to manchester crown court live shortly for the sentencing of olivia murderer, thomas olivia bell's murderer, thomas cashman he far as we're cashman. he is as far as we're anyway, not going to actually attend the sentencing that has caused a lot of you get very

angry inbox gb views of angry in the inbox gb views of gbnews.uk people saying you should be you should be dragged out to hear the sentencing and to face up he's done. to face up to what he's done. but we're going to go to that shortly. for more on our shortly. but for more on our original story now about the grooming gangs side of things, i'm moore, i'm joined by robbie moore, who's the conservative mp for and robbie . thank you and ilkley robbie. thank you very, very much. and i understand that there was actually a in your area actually a problem in your area of what myself for number of of what myself for a number of years a bit of an years ago to do a bit of an investigative about that investigative report about that and of a of and it's just one of a number of areas frankly i am of the mind that you could throw a dance at the map of britain and you would probably whether you knew probably land whether you knew it grooming gang. how it or on a grooming gang. how significant this latest significant is this latest development the policy significant is this latest deveisuellat the policy significant is this latest deveisuella braverman the policy significant is this latest deveisuella braverman sayinglicy from suella braverman saying that no longer that they are really no longer to political correctness , to give political correctness, get in way of investigations get in the way of investigations 7 get in the way of investigations ? well, i'm really , really ? well, i'm really, really pleased that the home secretary and the prime have announced this. these measures and very pleased to see that the ethnicity of those that a purported but also those that are victims is going to be

collected because unfortunately in keighley the town that i represent and indeed across the bradford district grooming and child sexual exploitation has been a big issue for many years and has not had the attention that it deserved. and i am very pleased that the prime minister has announced these new that why for you is it so important that the ethnicity , the perpetrators the ethnicity, the perpetrators is revealed? because the line out against this is well is demonising a particular community being largely the british community and as well as largely the british bangladeshi community. when the majority of sex offenders in this country are white, why is it important in this context that the ethnicity is put out there ? ethnicity is put out there? because i think you in communities like the one that i represent in keighley, you have to get to grips with some of the complexities that exist and to simply ignore factors like the ethnicity is not helpful . so

ethnicity is not helpful. so i have been making the case to the home secretary and the prime minister for a number of years since being elected that actually to get to grips with some of the complexities that exist towns like i represent in keighley when you look at the facts of some of the gang related grooming that are going through the courts, particularly when it is predominantly a minor rity of asian pakistan any men targeting predominant young white children , that we have to white children, that we have to have a sensible conversation about that and talk about openly. and that's why. i have been a big advocate ensuring that we do have proper systems in place where the ethnicity , in place where the ethnicity, both the perpetrator and the victim is collected so that we can get to with some of these complexities. when i'm just looking at some of the reports here the j report in 2014 is here thej report in 2014 is a rotherham 1400 girls that's been updated to 1510 girls now who were victims the majority of those . look, i could go on about those. look, i could go on about telford i could go on about

numerous different places the uk we all code when you look at the majority of the victims here they are young working class white girls and on the ethnicity of the vast majority of the people doing the grooming gangs crimes are british pakistani men or british men of bangladesh heritage as well just can't help but wonder whether there is racism and that racism has been directed . some working class directed. some working class vulnerable white girls who have been viewed as lesser than well, i think. and that's why it's really important that we have the data and it's frustrating really. we have not had that data get to grips with some of the complexities because my the complexities because in my mind a complete between mind this is a complete between what right and what is wrong. what is right and what is wrong. and we need to understand those issues and why. i'm very, very pleased that the home secretary is saying that political correctness will not get in the way of dealing with these issues and unfortunately, what you have in places like keighley and the

wider bradford council is calls for the i have been asking for like a full style inquiry into child sexual exploitation across the bradford dare i say i think would be a lot worse than unfortunately what we have seen in rotherham and rochdale across the bradford district we have had pushback from those in positions of local power the labour party, our labour run perhaps the council and our labour mayor. tracy brabin not my calls for having more investigation done on the historic gang related cases and, indeed existing cases that are going on because what we actually have to do here is install trust back in those victims , those families that victims, those families that have been by the very authority that should be there to protect them , i.e. the local authority them, i.e. the local authority andindeed them, i.e. the local authority and indeed police. so i am really pleased that the home secretary and, the prime minister has announced five measures because i do think that they will help look as welcome

news. it's obviously welcome news. it's obviously welcome news and it does come off the back of giving news putting out a documentary less than two months ago, which i would urge everybody, go and watch grooming gangs, prison shame, i have got to put it to you though. if we can into places and reveal can go into places and reveal true extent of the problem with nothing, like the amount of resources that a police force will have or home office would have, or the national crime agency would have, why on earth has it taken this and why has it taken this long and why has it taken this long and why has taken so much pressure has it taken so much pressure from ourselves and from news outlets, ourselves and our reporter charlie peters to get something about it ? well, i get something about it? well, i have to say that charlie done a fantastic job on this. i met charlie in parliament to discuss this very issue and, you know, well done to gb news for bringing issue to the forefront. you know, and yes, it is frustrating has taken so long and you know, i've only been an mp for three years, but this is a problem that is on people's minds and. i i'm you know, and i have not stopped raising it as

that constituency mp and i'm pleased that the government listened and i think is right listened and i think it is right that these announcements have been place, that we do been in place, but that we do not just these announcements, we make we through on these make sure we through on these announcements and at the end of it sure that those it make sure that those and those victims that are at the very heart of all of this, not forgotten about their voices are absolutely you know, and absolutely heard. you know, and i to say, well done to i have to say, well done to charlie peters further, what he's in that documentary he's done in that documentary because robbie because it was excellent robbie , you very, much always a , you very, very much always a pleasure talk you and good pleasure to talk to you and good luck forward. luck going forward. robbie moore, the moore, those are the conservative keighley and conservative mp for keighley and yes, ladies gentlemen, the yes, ladies and gentlemen, the national crime agency will act as for local police as oversight for local police forces with specialist being sent into specific known grooming gang hotspots right around the uk . when issues and around the uk. when issues and concerns are and there is perceived to tackle the problem we all know the story down way whenever. there is news of a big grooming gang situation taking place only personally feel. i personally feel as though there is more of an effort to try to

dumb it down, to try to hide the true extent of the problem than dumb it down, to try to hide the true eisent of the problem than dumb it down, to try to hide the true eisent actuallyroblem than dumb it down, to try to hide the true eisent actually exposing an dumb it down, to try to hide the truwhy ent actually exposing an dumb it down, to try to hide the truwhy ent a(well,' exposing an it. why that? well, that phrase, again, for fear of stoking racial in my racial and that is wrong in my view. but i'm joined now by oliver, was a detective oliver, who was a detective constable with greater manchester police , and she manchester police, and she criticised the way that our own force dealt the rochdale child sex abuse ring. she told us actually whether she thought the government's new proposals were enough , the police, the criminal enough, the police, the criminal justice system, cps, the courts, they are on their knees. you know we are not going to bring the, you know, monumental changes that we need without without proper of police officers . you know, the officers. you know, the sentencing is pretty full. the jails are full. less than 2% of reported rapes and abuse ever reaches a court. so this to me , reaches a court. so this to me, you know, i have heard priti patel have had conversations with her with , sajid javid with her with, sajid javid saying the same things i really

that this is different that this these words convert into action yet so that is maggie oliver who was of course the detective constable for greater manchester police what can see on the screen is that now is the gb news documentary and the title of it that i had just a couple of it that i had just a couple of months ago. charlie page is our investigative reporter. put that together. it's called grooming gangs, prison shame. and on and you can watch that now on youtube. go to youtube, put youtube. so go to youtube, put gb news you . can even just gb news in you. can even just google it, to be honest with you, gangs britain's you, grooming gangs britain's shame. of that shame. and off the back of that ladies gentlemen the ladies and gentlemen off the back that , we are now ladies and gentlemen off the back that, we are now in back of that, we are now in a situation where the government has decided take serious has decided to take serious action. what hope will be action. what we hope will be action. what we hope will be action. there is an interview as well with maggie oliver in more depth as part of our documentary. so you can listen to her in more detail there and some emails putting thick and fast. i'm just to go fast. i'm just going to go quickly to manchester. claire

and david have been in search. manchester, of course, is where one areas anyway , what we one of the areas anyway, what we were hearing from last were just hearing from that last sense prevails in bringing to justice, grooming gangs the key developments are the ethnicity of perpetrators going to be of the perpetrators going to be revealed. i know a lot of people feel as though was hidden feel as though that was hidden from was really from us, from us. it was really from us, wasn't a long time, for wasn't it? for a long time, for fear of stoking tensions. fear of stoking racial tensions. the to allow the government going to allow the agency to the national crime agency to more say when it feels as more of a say when it feels as the local police are dragging their feet with this stuff. and as crucially now, suella as well, crucially now, suella braverman coming saying braverman coming out and saying one the vast one thing that i think the vast majority people would think, majority of people would think, which to the which is it's not racist to the truth it comes to the true truth when it comes to the true extent and the nature of grooming. it's important to grooming. and it's important to say vast majority of say that the vast majority of sexual in this country sexual practises in this country are when comes to are white. but when it comes to this issue of grooming this specific issue of grooming gangs, quite clearly is the gangs, that quite clearly is the case. we shouldn't hide from case. and we shouldn't hide from that. case. and we shouldn't hide from that . a reminder, though, in that. a reminder, though, in other that we are going to other news, that we are going to cross crown cross live to manchester crown court sentencing of court for the sentencing of thomas the murder of thomas cashman to the murder of nine old olivia nine year old olivia pratt—korbel the update is that it's been delayed. the sentence and as we

and thomas cashman as we understand will not actually understand it will not actually be attending refusing to be attending in is refusing to prevent himself present himself even on from there. even moving on from there. donald trump is getting ready to fly new york city of fly to new york city of tomorrow's court appearance. gb news viewers will be able to see their return as trump's plane their new!!! 9} trump’s plane on thei! tetem ee tremp’e ptene on a runway in florida parked on a runway in florida will be going live to that as and when there are any developments. of course, patrick christys right here on gb news. britain's news .

channel welcome back, everybody. patrick christys here on gb news people's channel. and a reminder that we will cross live to crown court for the sentencing of . court for the sentencing of. thomas cashman for the murder of nine year old olivia pratt—korbel. many of you might be wondering why it's taking so long. well, understand it, long. well, as we understand it, thomas not appear in thomas cashman not appear in court. to court. he's refusing to the actual court room itself, which has infuriated a lot of it must

be said. get your views coming in, gb news .uk cashman's defence currently speaking as we understand it in courts presenting its mitigating arguments, we will go live for the sentencing , of course. the sentencing, of course. cashman, 34 years old, was found guilty of murder, attempted murder , wounding with intent to murder, wounding with intent to do grievous . bodily harm as do grievous. bodily harm as well. television his sentencing shortly amid news as well that apparently there a £250,000 family on his head , which no family on his head, which no doubt will be causing the police some sleepless night. but there we go. we're on from that now because there's less than 2 hours go before donald trump hours to go before donald trump is due to fly new york city, where he appear court where he will appear court tomorrow. trump's plane is on the runway in florida waiting to take the former president new take the former president to new york. telly, you york. if you're on telly, you can it on your screens . york. if you're on telly, you can it on your screens. he's can see it on your screens. he's the first former president to face after face criminal charges after he was last . new york face criminal charges after he was last. new york is was indicted last. new york is very much bracing for trump's arrival with increasing accuracy around the courthouse area. i we can get some reaction now from across the pond to that

impending court appearance. i don't know if there's a whole lot expect from the lot you can expect from the indictment. sure that he indictment. i'm sure that he will be arraigned. i'm sure that something will happen . i doubt something will happen. i doubt he'll spend any time in jail and i'd be really surprised if there are any real repercussions from it . and that's unfortunate. but it. and that's unfortunate. but kind of how these things work , kind of how these things work, i'd be pretty impressive. you can get away with secret service knowing where he is at times, but i'm not. it's pretty. i don't know if the right is ironic or just funny that you know this is what brings him in after so many alleged close run ins with the so we don't know what's in the indictment yet but that's it's pretty surreal to be honest . well, this is part of honest. well, this is part of it, isn't it, ladies in jest. we don't really know what's in the indictment of around 30 different charges. and there even talk donald trump will even talk that donald trump will be from actually be prevented from actually discussing as when he discussing it as and when he finds. for on this, i'm

finds. for more on this, i'm joined a political analyst, a darren mccaffrey who new darren mccaffrey who is in new york city for us. darren, i mean, look, clearly the world watching and the world is waiting. going to be waiting. we are going to be taking footage trump's taking live footage of trump's trump and when it trump force one as and when it takes from florida. takes off from florida. but what's going on? you are there . what's going on? you are there. well we're all waiting here in anticipation , patrick, of what's anticipation, patrick, of what's going to play over the next 24 hours. so as you say the eyes of america, the eyes the world here on new york, president trump due to arrive later on this afternoon, he'll then come into line and stay in his penthouse in trump tower before tomorrow. appearing in court where essentially he's going submit his not guilty plea. if you like. and we'll get a sense of what some those charges are because it is a it's been a hell of a lot of speculation about what charges he may well face business fraud or on this alleged possibly hush money. so he paid to a former star somebody who he allegedly had an affair nearly 20 years ago . but affair nearly 20 years ago. but it will be fascinating to. see

what plays out in that courthouse tomorrow. a lower list of all because . it is the list of all because. it is the first time a current or former us president has ever been indicted a criminal offence. it is likely he is going to be fingerprinted he's going to be have a day and a swab, probably a mugshot taken as well. expected last for an hour, though, as you just heard he's probably not going to be handcuffed , not least of all, handcuffed, not least of all, because he's got dozens of secret service agents and frankly i don't think the court thinks he's he's going to run. at the beach in florida and not plane is going to take off at some point, we believe, anyway, possibly the next hour and a half. so we'll be live for that and we'll go live to that . yes, and we'll go live to that. yes, daryn, obviously, the world awaits down there, but it will be quite spectacle and one indeedit be quite spectacle and one indeed it happens. and what it's worth as well, daryn, a lot of his supporters are coming out

and saying this is a witch hunt. and actually the has and actually the trump has managed around $5 managed to raise around $5 million, doesn't it ? yeah, million, doesn't it? yeah, fascinating. this not least of all, as you say, president trump supporters have run this as a hunt. they point to the fact that this prosecution being that this prosecution is being led man who was elected as led by a man who was elected as a democrats effective elected to try indict donald trump. so try and indict donald trump. so they will say this is not simply a judicial process. these political one. but clearly the state of new york feels it's got enough evidence to prosecute donald trump. but in many ways has actually benefited the former us president. if you look at opinion polls, the at the opinion polls, the morning, amongst morning, particularly amongst republicans supporters, his support he is now a by far support is up he is now a by far the runner way ahead of ron desantis , who is the florida desantis, who is the florida governor and the hope, i think, to the trump camp is two things. first of all, that this of sucks the political oxygen out of the room in favour of donald trump. and second all, that his and second of all, that his supporters soft republicans supporters and soft republicans coalesce . the former president . coalesce. the former president. i think the wider question, though, is how will this down

though, is how will this go down with whole of the with the whole of the us population? there population? because there is a sense that, you frankly sense that, you know, frankly they've been a criminal law they've been for a criminal law not, even if you're convicted, doesn't play well for a man who wants to office and regain white house next year. wants to office and regain white house next year . absolutely. house next year. absolutely. look, darren, thank you very, very much darren mccaffrey. there are many new york political editor who will be bringing you up to as and when trump takes off and then lands. look, and just just want to say again that we are going to go live shortly to manchester crown court thomas cashman, the court where thomas cashman, the murderer year old olivia murderer of nine year old olivia pratt—korbel found pratt—korbel owl, was found guilty and numerous guilty of that. and numerous other charges as well. it must be said, will face sentencing , be said, will face sentencing, although rasul of the although it's in rasul of the view he actually will not view that he actually will not be sentencing person be facing sentencing in person he be attending court he will not be attending court is refusing to attend court. that's as understand that's as we understand and people in touch on this people are in touch on this right now. views at gb news right now. gb views at gb news dot to say that he should be dragged can be that dragged out. how can it be that he's not able not allowed to be dragged to court to face music himself? bring up to himself? we'll bring you up to date and when we get

twist a new dispute between twist with a new dispute between the australian firm, the site and the administrators britishvolt. establish the gigafactory a site near the port of blythe, just north of newcastle . it was meant to help newcastle. it was meant to help secure the future mass carmaking in the north—east. it would be a massive boost to the area an absolutely massive one. by making the batteries, the used cars and electric vehicles, the batteries used in electric vehicles so thus far been vehicles, so has thus far been extinguished again. and it comes as well amid a whole host economic news for you today. ladies and gents and can ladies and gents and we can bnng ladies and gents and we can bring now economics and bring in now our economics and business editor liam gallagher. so right now, let's just i'm sorry about this. we're going to have to go right now actually to manchester crown court for the sentencing live of olivia pratt—korbel killer , thomas pratt—korbel killer, thomas cashman . cctv footage captured cashman. cctv footage captured him standing over knee shooting close range when the first gun malfunctioned . mr. knee was able malfunctioned. mr. knee was able to scramble away but . the

to scramble away but. the defendant had his second gun ready . he relentlessly pursued ready. he relentlessly pursued mr. knee , forcing him to seek mr. knee, forcing him to seek refuge , barging into the home refuge, barging into the home occupied by olivia's family. undeterred and wholly unconcerned for the safety of others, he continued to shoot at joseph ni , firing into that. joseph ni, firing into that. home olivia just years old, had the commotion from her bed . the commotion from her bed. unsurprisingly came downstairs to seek the comfort of her mother . her to seek the comfort of her mother. her last words were mum, i'm scared . mother. her last words were mum, i'm scared. in a mother. her last words were mum, i'm scared . in a terrible twist i'm scared. in a terrible twist of fate. had stepped directly the line of fire as her mother battled . keep the front door battled. keep the front door closed . the defendant fired closed. the defendant fired a shot that passed straight through the door then through cheryl corporal's wrist and into olivia's chest, killing her. the

defendant then managed to get his hands inside the door and fired another shot inside the house. fortunately the door was closed on his hand and the bullet discharged into the doorframe, avoiding the people inside for the of olivia. there is only one sentence that can be passed that is a mandatory life sentence . let there be sentence. let there be misunderstanding about this the sentence will. be one of life imprisonment. that means the defendant may spend the rest of his days in prison. defendant may spend the rest of his days in prison . however, for his days in prison. however, for reasons shall explain, this is . reasons shall explain, this is. not a case which s will specify the minimum which must elapse before the defendant can apply before the defendant can apply be released on licence . that is be released on licence. that is the shortest period that he will be required . serve in prison .

be required. serve in prison. there is no guarantee that he will in fact be released that stage. that will be a matter for the parole board. i will specify sentences for the other offences . but they will be served concurrent with the sentence for murder , which will reflect the murder, which will reflect the totality of the offending . the totality of the offending. the killing olivia pratt—korbel is an that shocked not only city of liverpool but the nation . liverpool but the nation. olivia's is likely to be remembered for many years. she should not be remembered only her dreadful last moments . her her dreadful last moments. her family spoken today of olivia in and of the hopes , dreams for her and of the hopes, dreams for her future. which was so cruelly snatched away . it is plain that snatched away. it is plain that olivia was a lovely little girl who cared for others and brightened the lives of her family and friends. brightened the lives of her family and friends . they have family and friends. they have suffered unimaginable loss ,

suffered unimaginable loss, which they must carry for rest of their lives. nothing i say or do will ease that . but they do will ease that. but they should know that they my sympathy , the mental scars from sympathy, the mental scars from that night will persist forever. cheryl corbell must also bear the physical scars on her wrist and hand . she must have suffered and hand. she must have suffered pain as the bullet passed through her body . her bravery through her body. her bravery and strength obvious. she had fought to keep the trouble outside . and she ignored the outside. and she ignored the pain as she desperately tried to save olivia . the need for her to save olivia. the need for her to receive emergency treatment meant that she could not be with her daughter when she died . her daughter when she died. nobody suggests that the defendant to kill olivia or to harm cheryl that even if he did not know , olivia was in the not know, olivia was in the firing line . same cannot be said firing line. same cannot be said about cheryl. she opened her

door and stepped outside to see what was happening . she what was happening. she immediately recognised gravity of the situation and hurried back to get and secure her home. it will have been apparent to the defendant that she not connected with joseph nee and was trying to keep him out . he was trying to keep him out. he knew, therefore that a wholly innocent woman by the door and yet that is where he chose to take aim . katie paused to think take aim. katie paused to think for one moment it would have been obvious that this was a family home and this others perhaps including children, were at risk . but the defendant was at risk. but the defendant was focussed only on the murder . focussed only on the murder. joseph nee , and no one else joseph nee, and no one else mattered to . precisely what lay mattered to. precisely what lay behind attempt on joseph ni's life has not emerged. the court did not hear from him and the defendant was certainly not willing to share the truth . on willing to share the truth. on his own evidence, the led a

criminal lifestyle all in the course of which was prepared to use threats , violence . mr. ney use threats, violence. mr. ney was a man with enemies who had been shut out previously that provides the of what happened . provides the of what happened. whatever mr. ney may have done it plainly did not justify the attempt his life, etc. serious injuries and is lucky be alive after things went so tragically wrong. the defendant went to the home of the woman who was enough to come to court to give against him . i have made an order. her him. i have made an order. her lifelong anonymity , and will not lifelong anonymity, and will not name her now . her evidence was , name her now. her evidence was, as they both she chose to do the right thing . the defendant right thing. the defendant invented a defence designed to humiliate and undermine her. it did work. she was subject to lengthy questioning about the

intimate details that . she stood intimate details that. she stood firm . i am sorry that she had to firm. i am sorry that she had to endure that, but endure it. she did. and her courage is to be applauded . in sentencing for the applauded. in sentencing for the murder olivia pratt—korbel, i must . the statutory provisions must. the statutory provisions set out in schedule 21 the sentencing act 2020, paragraph two, to be a of schedule 21 provides that the starting point for the murder of a child involved a substantial degree of planning , involved a substantial degree of planning, premeditation is a whole life order . i have whole life order. i have considered whether that applies to this case. its have concluded it does not because the planning premeditation was not direct did the child . there is no doubt, the child. there is no doubt, though , that the seriousness of though, that the seriousness of the murder taken in combination , the other offences is grave , , the other offences is grave, such as to require a lengthy term . the starting point for any

term. the starting point for any involving a firearm is 30 years as set out . paragraph three of as set out. paragraph three of schedule 20 on. i must thank consider the aggravating and mitigating factors set out in paragraph nine and ten, together with any other relevant circumstances that be no doubt that the shooting a significant degree planning, premeditation i bearin degree planning, premeditation i bear in mind that many, if not most murders involving firearms involve some premeditation , and involve some premeditation, and thatis involve some premeditation, and that is accounted for in the starting point . the evidence in starting point. the evidence in this case demands rates following going well beyond the defendant sourced two guns presumably to allow for the possibility of one misfiring in what van joseph nee was driving . and i am sure that he was looking out for him earlier that day , having spotted his van. he

day, having spotted his van. he changed his clothes and concealed his face before heading towards him. only to realise that mr. ne had left . realise that mr. ne had left. later seen the van again and realising mr. ne was likely remain where he was until end of the televised football . the the televised football. the defendant again changed his clothes, got possession and lay in wait . this clothes, got possession and lay in wait. this was a targa stage fund execution . it commenced in fund execution. it commenced in a residential street , even as a residential street, even as mr. ne ran for his life. the defendant ruthlessly pursued him . he then fired more shots as mr. ne to take cover in. a determined effort to complete what he had set out to do . it is what he had set out to do. it is accepted on the defendant's that olivia was a particularly victim because of her age . i do not because of her age. i do not agree that olivia's age made her

more vulnerable to being killed in the specific circumstances , in the specific circumstances, but it is academic to debate whether the case comes within paragraph nine. the real gravity of this case is that a young child was and killed in her own home as children do . olivia was home as children do. olivia was coming downstairs to seek reassurance . gerald corbell reassurance. gerald corbell should have been able to give that reassurance and to take olivia back into bed . what olivia back into bed. what happened instead was chilling and strikes fear not into the immediate community but also into the minds of children and their parents. shooting into family home with no for who may be caught in the crossfire is obviously a very significant aggravate factor, which must be reflected in the minimum term none of the statutory mitigating factors apply in this case.

while right that there was no intent to kill olivia , the fatal intent to kill olivia, the fatal shot was fired with the clearest possible intent to kill . now i possible intent to kill. now i have determined that the shooting was premeditated . the shooting was premeditated. the fact that the intent was directed towards joseph offers no mitigation . that the no mitigation. that the defendant plans to kill olivia. he have been facing a whole life order . even he have been facing a whole life order. even had the defendant killed joseph nee rather than olivia. the premeditated nature of killing, the use of firearms and firing of shots into the family would still have required a substantial uplift . the fact a substantial uplift. the fact that it was olivia who died under tadley makes the offence more serious. under tadley makes the offence more serious . further, i under tadley makes the offence more serious. further, i am not considering this in isolation. the defendant must also be sentenced . the other offences . i sentenced. the other offences. i shall take care not to double

count features that are common to counts. one, two, three. i am very conscious that the shot that killed olivia was one of those aimed at joseph while attempting to kill him and was the same shot that wounded cheryl corbell . however, i must cheryl corbell. however, i must reflect the fact that the harm caused was not limited to killing olivia . it also included killing olivia. it also included injury to two other people . as injury to two other people. as i been sentencing the defender for the attempted murder of joseph alone. i would imposed a life sentence because the obvious risk of serious harm he poses to members of the public. i agree with the submissions that this is a a2 case within the relevant sentencing guideline that gives a starting point of a determinate centre of 30 years and a range of 25 to 35 years. even in the context of a category a case, the offence is

aggravated by the planning. the relentless of mr. ney and the of two firearms. so i will select select a figure towards the upper end of the range in setting the minimum term to be served on a discretionary life . served on a discretionary life. the notional term should be discounted by one third to reflect the early release, which apply to a determinant sentence. ineed apply to a determinant sentence. i need dwell further on the minimum for count two, since it will make no difference to the minimum term which must be served, which be that imposed on count one. the counts re wounding cheryl corbell within tent to do grievous bodily harm to. the offence falls into category a2 in relevant guideline giving a starting point of seven years imprisonment and a range of 6 to 10 years. the offence is aggravated by being committed against a woman in her own and i consider this a sentence at the top of that range is a bit.

firearms offence is charged counts four and five are part and parcel of the other offences. it would be wholly artificial to consider the appropriate sentence for these two offences. had they stood alone. they category a1 offences the relevant guideline . the the relevant guideline. the sentences on these counts not impact on the overall term the defendant must serve. it is therefore unnecessary to say more and i will simply adopt starting point suggested by the guide , namely 18 years guide, namely 18 years imprisonment. i have explained the approach to the sentences for the individual offences. only that the defendant and others know how i have arrived at the eventual sentence which i impose the reality that the defendant's offending cannot be compartmentalised and the minimum term to be served will reflect the totality of his offending . the defendant offending. the defendant murdered 11 year poor bel a young child in own home. he so

in the course of attempting to murder joseph in the course of attempting to murderjoseph neath as part of a planned and attack involving the use of two firearms. he serious injuries to mr. nie and came close to killing him. he also shot cheryl corbell causing her significant physical injury say nothing of the psychological scars he caused her and others . scars he caused her and others. thatis scars he caused her and others. that is the basis on which will be sentenced . the defendant is be sentenced. the defendant is now aged 34. he is not previous good character . any attempt to good character. any attempt to rely on absence of any significant of violence . in the significant of violence. in the context of what he told the jury he made it quite clear that he was a criminal. the use threats and violence when it suited him well, although i will not treat that as aggravate and there is no mitigation to found in his history . the defendant has not

history. the defendant has not acknowledged his responsibility for , olivia's death, and so has for, olivia's death, and so has demonstrated no remorse is . demonstrated no remorse is. failure to come into court is further evidence of that . further evidence of that. although i make it clear that this has not caused me to his sentence . the defendant is sentence. the defendant is a father and i accept that being taken away from his children is a loss . him and for them . it is a loss. him and for them. it is a loss. him and for them. it is a loss. him and for them. it is a loss he is wholly responsible for. there is in my no real mitigation available to the defendant . now pronounce the defendant. now pronounce the sentence on count one for the murder of olivia pratt—korbel . murder of olivia pratt—korbel. the sentence will be life . the the sentence will be life. the minimum term will be 42 years. less the time the defendant has already spent remand on two. the attempted murder . joseph may. attempted murder. joseph may. the sentence is life imprisonment with a minimum term of 22 years. on counts three

wounding cheryl corbell with intent to do grievous bodily harm to another. the sentence is ten years imprisonment on counts four and five. the firearms , the four and five. the firearms, the sentences years imprisonment . on sentences years imprisonment. on all currently meaning that the shortest period the will be required to serve before he can be considered early release from the sentence life imprisonment is 42 years less , 182 days. he is 42 years less, 182 days. he has served on remand after has said that minimum term he can only be released if the parole board decide is appropriate. he would then remain on licence for the remainder of his life . the the remainder of his life. the statutory surcharge will be added to the thank you. that completes my sentencing and it completes my sentencing and it completes the sentencing hearing

. okay ladies and gentlemen. so that was justice amanda casey, who was serving up the sentence to thomas cashman. that is the. of nine year old olivia pratt—korbel. i'm going to summarise the sentences and then tell you what the minimum is there in case you didn't pick it up. so for the murder of olivia pratt—korbel life with a minimum a minimum of 42 years for the attempted murder of ni attempted murder of joseph ni life with a minimum of 22 years for the wounding with intent of cheryl, is olivia's mum. cheryl, who is olivia's mum. thatis cheryl, who is olivia's mum. that is a ten year prison sentence for the two firearms offences. that's 18 years now. those sentences are going to be served concurrently, which means that the shortest period of time that the shortest period of time that thomas cashman could allowed out is 42 years. he will serve minimum of 42 years, minus the 182 days. he has already on remand. just to summarise that, what just this year was saying she acknowledged that he has thomas cashman has shown no remorse and no responsibility

for any of these offences . and for any of these offences. and she did stress that. his refusal to attend sentencing today refused to present in court for the sentence to face the music really had not to his sentence, but she did make a note of it. she a lot of people will be saying why isn't there a whole life order? well, it's pretty really that because he did not plan or conduct the premeditate killing of a child, he olivia , she was not the intended target as there is no whole life order can be served. 42 years minimum. it's obviously a pretty lengthy time given that it's 34 years old at the moment. lengthy time given that it's 34 years old at the moment . the years old at the moment. the victim impact statements were absolutely harrowing and they were made reference to by just as. yep who said how the psychological trauma that this has caused to olivia's mum, her sister olivia's father mr. sister and olivia's father mr. and mrs. justice upset that olivia was clearly a lovely little girl who cared for others and bright the lives of her family and friends , and that

family and friends, and that thomas cashman should have should have known that cheryl was the mother was obviously in the firing line as he shot into the firing line as he shot into the house. she said that he sourced two guns, which she said was presumably to account for one of them misfiring, which shows a degree of premeditation, a massive premeditation when it comes to the planned execution target of planned, attempted of joseph nee who was the intended target of all of this so we go this sentence is again thomas cashman will serve a minimum of 42 years in prison for the murder of olivia corbell, the attempted murder of joseph nee, the wounding with intent of cheryl corbo and two firearms offences. so that's the latest from manchester crown court to give his reaction to that sentencing is former match police officer graham whetton. graham joins me now . brian, graham joins me now. brian, thank you very much. and well,

look , what do you make of that look, what do you make of that really significant sentence ? i really significant sentence? i think if you actually listen to the judge's sentence in remarks, as you just alluded to she covered it really well. she covered it really well. she covered the premeditation aspects. covered well, she aspects. she covered well, she couldn't give whole lot couldn't give a whole lot tariffs based on the sentencing guidelines, but she did give a very, very significant sentence. 42 years maximum around 76, before considered for before he's even considered for parole. doesn't mean parole. that doesn't mean he comes that it has to go comes out that it has to go before the parole board and, then considered release. then be considered for release. so significant so a really significant sentence, summed up sentence, i think she summed up very what do you of very well. what do you make of the father cashman didn't the father thomas cashman didn't present himself in court today to face music again. is this to face the music again. is this down to down to the justice system, to down the police have no absolutely influence in this at all. i've seen some comments on social media about the police . you took me to the police in the of judge a crown court the of the judge a crown court trial. so they literally. that's right on on the guidance the instruct the in the instruct the judge in the justice and some people justice system and some people justice system and some people just refuse to come into court. it doesn't really show anything

for the victims it's victim sensitive my personal opinion then the actual the family i would suspect would like to see him sentence not to see his and actually having been the victim impact statements he's 77. he's been taken to the court. so he's there from what i've seen, appears to be the building is just refusing to come out and actually so again, were actually so again, there were reports that there reports earlier today that there was around children and was around eight children and £50,000 on his head from £50,000 bounty on his head from other gangsters view other gangsters with a view presumably to keeping quiet, presumably to keeping it quiet, because obviously lot because he obviously knows a lot . the underworld doesn't say and everything. so he arrived at court of steel from court with a of armed steel from , the police. but we're going to touch on that. bit later touch on that. it's bit later with someone who's a gang with someone who's a former gang member tell me a bit member is going to tell me a bit more that just want to hear more that i just want to hear from you a little bit when it comes to actually the response to the bravery of a woman who will have lifelong anonymity, who actually do the right thing and essentially shop him basic and essentially shop him basic and gave evidence, didn't she ,

and gave evidence, didn't she, that call under what could only have been a huge amounts of pressure and just as you alluded to that your thoughts on the that this lady has come forward under extreme pressure and circumstances danger circumstances extreme danger to her life and done the right her own life and done the right thing and help police , because thing and help police, because without i'm not sure i'm without her, i'm not sure i'm sure they would have necessarily got have . yeah. got the result. they have. yeah. the judge alluded to that. she actually mentioned specifically commended for actually coming to court commended testimony how significant was, the pressure significant it was, the pressure she was under cross—examination she was under cross—examination she suffered at and the fact she's actually given her a lifelong anonymity award and she will now be in a witness protection scheme. so that's a sickness . can't change in a sickness. can't change in a personal circumstance is exceptionally brave outstanding bravery forward to go bravery to come forward to go and actually stand in court in front everybody and give front of everybody and give testify and be cross—examined. litvinenko astonishing, but the judge , as you've mentioned, the judge, as you've mentioned, the judge, as you've mentioned, the judge recognises and judge is recognises and specifically commented on the fact how crucial piece fact that how crucial that piece of evidence in this case. of evidence was in this case. no, i know. no. we no, indeed, i know. no. we reported on it for a long time.

case really gripped the nation, not just because the harrowing nature of the victim and by victim course , about victim in this, of course, about olivia i know that olivia pratt—korbel. i know that was and wounded. olivia's was shot and wounded. olivia's mum i that mr. knee as mum. i know that mr. knee as well. joseph nee was also very badly wounded. the judge that said he was to be alive. but the real victim in all of this, of course is olivia. but that made the case extra shocking. you know, a little nine years old, shot, murdered in her own home, but there was, of course, the mystery around it because for a long time there was a manhunt for very long and that for a very long time and that spoke, i think, towards that. and immense amount of secrecy in the criminal the underworld in that criminal community. eventually, they did manage thomas that manage to get thomas that figure. of around £250,000, figure. now of around £250,000, which reportedly the bounty on head, as it were. what's to happen to him in prison now ? is happen to him in prison now? is he going to be given solitary confinement, you think? is he going to have constant police, protect? and how do you see that going? be honest, going? because let's be honest, he's for minimum of he's in there for a minimum of 42 years. it won't be the

police. it will be down to the prison authorities. he's their responsibility. he's a sentence prisoner . so responsibility. he's a sentence prisoner. so it's completely down to the prison . how they down to the prison. how they make him secure, safe within that establishment , whatever that establishment, whatever establishment he's in. so there be some liaison with police around information it will around information, but it will be prison authorities who be the prison authorities who will his security safety will manage his security safety while he's in there in, their custody and i imagine that's going to be quite difficult do 24 seven but we'll have to wait and see just more with you, if that's all right. graeme, appreciate time. does this feel like do you think do you that, of course, olivia's family have going to be happy about it? i think given the nature. but do you think this is the best result they have got? yeah, i think a really result. think it's a really good result. i that that's i think that that's a significant sentence when you look a policy look at sentences, a policy court's every single day for really serious offences. is court's every single day for re significants offences. is court's every single day for re significants otime. s. is court's every single day for resignificants otime. i is court's every single day for resignificants otime. i thinkis a significant of time. i think that the investigation team who worked tirelessly really dedicated themselves a really difficult you mentioned, difficult, as you mentioned, complex investigation on cctv and i was trawling through

witness statements , clothing, witness statements, clothing, the fact that you didn't a gun or even a lot of forensic a really difficult challenge investigation i think they will be thrilled they've got such a significant sentence there was . significant sentence there was. there were reasons legal reasons why it couldn't be a whole lot a whole lot. fuller i they've got the next best thing we're 42 years. yeah great great. thank you much. absolute you very much. absolute pleasure. thank you. graeme weston, police weston, as former met police officer, reacting to the officer, just reacting to the news we brought moments news that we brought you moments ago manchester crown ago live from manchester crown court, was the sentence court, which was the sentence of thomas cashman . just quickly, thomas cashman. just quickly, a minimum of 42 years in prison for a collection of offences, including the of olivia including the murder of olivia pratt—korbel . we're going go pratt—korbel. we're going to go back now to manchester to back live now to manchester to outside manchester court outside manchester crown court and gb news is and speak to gb news is north—west reporter sophie reaper inside for the reaper who was inside for the and has been that from start to finish much from this harrowing case. sophie the latest case. sophie what's the latest for please . well as you for please. well as you mentioned , patrick thomas mentioned, patrick thomas cashman has now been sentenced. he refused to appear in court this afternoon but justice yet consented to some sentencing in

his absence . there were five his absence. there were five charges that he was found guilty by the jury. and we heard the sentencing for each of them. so on count one, the murder of olivia corbell, he was sentenced to in prison and months minimum of 42 years on count to the attempted murder of joseph nee received life imprisonment. a minimum of 22 years count three the wounding with intent of cheryl korbel. that was the sentence of ten years and on counts for five the possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life that was 18 years for each. now those sentence will be served concurrently , will be served concurrently, which means he will serve a minimum term of 42 years before he can be considered for release. and even then he would only be released if the parole board were to allow it just yet described in the, in the process of sentencing a targeted plumbed exit fusion attempt. she said

the defendant was focussed only on the murder of joseph nee . he on the murder of joseph nee. he didn't care about anyone else. now, before we heard the sentencing today. we also statements from members of olivia's family, from her dad, her mom and her sister , olivia's her mom and her sister, olivia's mum, cheryl. she took the stand in the courtroom and clearly she was heartbroken she called cashman a coward saying his actions have left the biggest hole in lives that can never be filled . and there was a filled. and there was a statement read out by olivia's dad, john pratt's . at one stage dad, john pratt's. at one stage it said his children are the only reason i'm still breathing . some days i just want to end it so i can be with again. now just want to confirm once again that thomas cashman will receive minimum of 42 years in prison a man who who killed olivia pratt—korbel . sophie. thank you pratt—korbel. sophie. thank you very much. sophie that gb news is north—west. reports are

outside manchester crown court bringing you the latest following the sentencing of thomas cashman who will a minimum of 42 years in prison. look the reaction is coming in thick and fast. ladies and gents, gbviews@gbnews.uk only thing can predict the headlines tomorrow away, which will be coward because thomas will refuse to actually present himself the courtroom and refuse to walk those steps into the dock to hear the victim impact statements. this is a man, by the way, who was not taking responsibility for it as the judge said, has not shown any remorse whatsoever, couldn't even bring to sit in the dock there and here the real life impact that his actions have had on olivia's mum, olivia brother. i saw olivia's sister and father as well. he couldn't bring himself to do that. and a lot of you've been getting in touch saying, patrick, this guy is an absolute coward. that's from clef stewart the clef. and stewart makes the point 42 years, which is the minimum term the cash must be spending prison for 42 years. the uk taxpayer have to pay to

keep their scumbag alive. that's from stuart. so there we go anyway. right get some thoughts now. i think is important, actually, and it's an important angle. this from zacarias megan , who is a reformed gang member and is a youth rehabilitator. and thank you very, very much for joining us on this, i believe , i can go through now. believe, i can go through now. yes. thank you so much. so, look, first and foremost, what you make of the sentence that's been handed down today, a lot of reactions to it not being a whole life order. the judge made it clear that that was impossible legal impossible under legal guidelines lot reaction guidelines a lot of reaction people to thomas cashman not himself to face the himself in court to face the music. what is your initial on the 42 years he's been given that i personally thought it was quite lenient michel although it's a lovely sentence in the circumstances of all lenient because this is other people who have gotten similar for killing of the gang members . we can't of the gang members. we can't escape the fact this case. it's a young , innocent child who've a young, innocent child who've

been murdered . i feel taking been murdered. i feel taking that into account, the sentence is lenient . can you talk to me a is lenient. can you talk to me a little bit , if that's all right little bit, if that's all right about the gang world that thomas cashman lived in? and bearing in mind that there's a £250,000 bounty on its head, as we understand what you can see happening there with that. but is this code of silence that takes place in the liverpool gang world? yeah, i can't comment . the underworld he lived comment. the underworld he lived himself because i'm not aware at all. yeah. yes, it is a cul de silence and i think that was demonstrated by the fact that the police have to go to the courts or take legal action to, get people to cooperate . for get people to cooperate. for example, discover cctv so that wall of silence , not reluctance wall of silence, not reluctance to cooperate with the police has been demonstrated in this case. from what the media reports . do from what the media reports. do you think that the prison officers will have quite a hard

time . thomas cashman safe now time. thomas cashman safe now the next 42 years or not. yeah, i'm not sure. i'm not sure or not. you know, people say in the media reported there's been substantial amounts of money they offered to harm him . i'm they offered to harm him. i'm not sure as to how true that is. couldn't say whether that's accurate or not. i don't know. it could just be speculation. who knows? the import . it's who knows? the import. it's going be some in the prison going to be some in the prison system that like him for what he's done . then i think the he's done. then i think the majority are not going to be fazed by it. yeah to expand on that a little bit for me, please because i'm quite keen to find a bit more about we hear a lot about the kind of hierarchy in prison. right. and i've obviously never been thankfully , when it comes to talking , but when it comes to talking liars, is that true? i mean, will that presumably be quite a lot of people in prison who will take a very dim view what he's donei take a very dim view what he's done i don't think a lot now because model standards because the model standards and the moral code is as diminished within prisons and within society criminals. so no, i

don't think . there'll be a lot. don't think. there'll be a lot. they'll be a minority who will take a dim view towards what done i think the majority done or i think the majority won't really be fazed by i suppose that there's different kinds of offences, children out there well. i suspect, there as well. and i suspect, some of the other ones might be taken in view of the taken more more in view of the than this. unfortunately yeah. and can i just what you reckon this will do to the drug dealing world or the gang world etc. in i mean the nation is zoomed on it recently and. do you think this will have any impact on the way that people operate in liverpool . yeah, i think the liverpool. yeah, i think the case a whole would have impacted that given the level of police presence and the investigation. so there have been a lot of people that were on the back for them . so we the volume impact them. so we the volume impact for i think the community needs to recognise the fact the drugs are the primary driving factor behind the discharge of firearms

image of all the. so when people are taking social drugs such as cocaine , even having a spliff of cocaine, even having a spliff of cannabis they need to understand where the money is going back into it's going back into funding weapons. patches of funding weapons. the patches of weapons which then as ripple effect and results to matters like this again where there's innocent children being murdered . yeah, exactly. and can just ask you, you obviously do a huge amount work and you are an incredibly reformed. i really appreciate you coming on and being able to, frankly, talk with a lot more honesty and integrity about this topic than iever integrity about this topic than i ever could to your own lived experience. yeah, you're on national television now. if you wouldn't saying to wouldn't mind just saying to anyone watching this, who anyone who is watching this, who have on in the background have this on in the background or listening or whatever, doing, listening on radio , who is maybe young and radio, who is maybe young and thinking about getting involved or is involved maybe in lower level drug dealing, or is involved maybe in lower level drug dealing , lower level level drug dealing, lower level gang culture, etc. what would your message be to them in the wake of thomas castro being sentenced to two years in prison

for the murder of nine year old olivia pratt—korbel and for other offences? what would message to people who are just flirting with gang culture be yet? well only three ways it's going to enter scotland and death. a long prison or it's and an addiction so there's no positive end to gang life or culture and the sentence this case even though it's lenient it demonstrates that the authorities and the courts are not willing to tolerate this type of behaviour and it shows for anyone when the fight in the church tom innocent people even though it's not intended and yeah look it's strong advice sorry i i'm just just one more. it's just the ebrahim is there about the idea that you think this is a lenient sentence. can i ask what, would what would you have given him? i the judges saying that there's no way that could have done a full life tariff . that's just the way the tariff. that's just the way the law is because he didn't actually premeditate to kill a olivia pratt—korbel. she was the

collateral damage in this some people in my inbox talking about the death penalty. so i don't know what do you what what would mean a non—linear sentence for you do you think? i would you do you think? well i would my whole life order and what i don't know the as to what the judge's quotable if we look at it in that context he was convicted the murder of a child and i think that justifies whole life order if it doesn't if the judge was unable to pass that which i'm which i'm not sure she was or she wasn't, then parliament need to be revisiting this and make an amendments to the sentence process because anyone who harms major child in this way, then the punishment that needs to be passed is a whole life order. and unless one sufficient deterrent, people because 42 years people have the opportunity to get out and have some freedom . you know, in 42 some freedom. you know, in 42 years time, i this perpetrator will be maybe in the seventies, perhaps the. so he could still out and have a couple of years

left of his life. that young child never had opportunity and the family will never that opportunity to live normal opportunity to live a normal life again. so why should perpetrators be given that opportunity ? any prospect of opportunity? any prospect of release? why should why release? why should it? why should not be allowed? and i want the perpetrator self and i could possibly been in this situation where i had punishing child have happened child it could have happened because times because there was many times when i indiscriminately fired firearms so i have also firearms so i could have also you know it could have resulted in something similar to this for i'm saying a perpetrator's perspective having been the voltage offences is nowhere near sufficient and if judge weren't able to push any higher sentence and parliament needs to revisit the sentence of perpetrators like this and i really appreciate that and incredibly and heartfelt testimony from yourself and like i said before yourself and like i said before you know a tremendous insight into the situation really i don't see like you said you don't see like you said you don't know it's almost

customer's precise circumstances and the exact world they operate in. but you certainly got a lot closer to it than i have. and i dare say a lot of our viewers, listeners will as and listeners will have as well. and it's really to actually hear your it. so your perspective on it. so thank your perspective on it. so thank you very sir. karis you very much, sir. karis macarthur, who's reformed gang macarthur, who's a reformed gang member and is a rehabilitator and stuff. but yes, and strong stuff. but yes, i suggest go. we hope to suggest for that go. we hope to hear family hear from olivia's family shortly bring you that shortly and we'll bring you that as when we get it. so and go as and when we get it. so and go back to steps of back live to the steps of manchester crown court to take statement keep your eyes and statement so keep your eyes and ears peeled everyone's going ears peeled as everyone's going to cut away from to have to cut away from whatever about and whatever we're about and take you of course is you back there. but of course is the right to but we're the right thing to do. but we're going return now to another going to return now to another massive here good news. massive here for some good news. and actually win us and it's actually a win for us here at gb news. the government is cracking down on grooming not before sentences before time with tough sentences and a new task force. rishi and a new task force. and rishi sunak said that political sunak has said that political correctness won't stand in the way problem and way of tackling the problem and thatis way of tackling the problem and that is after suella braverman singled british pakistani men as being largely responsible for the of grooming gangs. how many

times have we seen political correctness getting in the way of this people people being too afraid, being called racist to actually something well actually do something it well problem actually made this problem it actually made this comment it excludes comment and it excludes interview with gb news it's clear this has been a scandal that has gone on for far too long vulnerable girls is in troubling who have been dismissed have been ignored when they have justifiably complained about sexual abuse exploitation being drugged or being raped . being drugged or being raped. and there has been a failure on the part . state agencies, social the part. state agencies, social workers, teachers, the police to take seriously those concerns is on the back of this challenge and a real problem which is ingrained in some of our institutions that the prime minister and i have announced a series of package which take us forward, which will ensure that there's now a mandatory duty on child safeguarding professionals

to report when they have concerns about or vulnerabilities . and i think vulnerabilities. and i think that will make a big difference in the action that will be incumbent on professionals to take. we saw in rotherham and in rochdale those scandals that government officials , police government officials, police officers were not prosecuted despite reports proving that they knew what was going on. do you hope that with your reforms and with mandatory in particular that a and a culture of accountability will be introduced. yes think that imposing a duty on professionals will lead to a culture change will lead to a culture change will need to will lead to professional ultimately silence enabled this abuse silence on part of professionals fear of being called racist fear about cultural sensitivity , fear about cultural sensitivity, fear about inflaming cohesion in communities . it inflaming cohesion in communities. it is inflaming cohesion in communities . it is absolutely communities. it is absolutely vital that we call out the truth of what's been going on and that's why mandatory reporting

an important tool in the armoury of measures that are announcing today. yesterday you spoke about your incoming list of reforms. you said that i think correctly that british pakistanis are despicable should be overrepresented in this kind of child abuse with one labour politician describing this commentary as dog whistle politics. what do you make of this? it's racist to tell the truth about what has been going on here in rochdale or in rotherham in telford. local review and reports have confirmed that the grooming gangs scandal that gone on here has been perpetrated by largely british pakistani men . now it's british pakistani men. now it's important not to demonise a whole community and the majority of british pakistanis are law abiding and straightforward people. but it is also clear to say that in these towns i met victims today who've confirmed as much bearing out their own experience, that there have

cultural trends in the practises that we've seen and authorities and professional ones have turned a blind eye out of fear of being called racist . of being called racist. political correctness can no longer be an obstacle to taking action . what would you say to action. what would you say to all the women and girls who now is too afraid to forward with their because they didn't their story? because they didn't believe the police or government would support? i've met some women and girls today who were victims of child sexual exploitation and they have explained their experience stories of being dismissed, being ignored , not being being ignored, not being believed. i urge victims to have confidence in. the police in the authorities, we all leading a step change the measures we're announcing today, whether it's mandatory reporting, whether it's a new task force , bringing it's a new task force, bringing together specialist police agencies and expertise to crack down this practise in communities or whether it's greater , whether it's toughened greater, whether it's toughened up , represents a real step

up, represents a real step forward in supporting victims . forward in supporting victims. this government is on the side of victims , and i urge them to of victims, and i urge them to come forward . that's how we'll come forward. that's how we'll secure justice for them . okay so secure justice for them. okay so that's the home secretary suella braverman that being interviewed by our very own peters. and the reason roy start covering this particular story, i said it's a big win for gb news because of the tireless work by charlie peters, an investigative reporter, to look into and really shine a light on. the historical wrongs of grooming gangs what is frankly still gangs and what is frankly still and really to keep the and really trying to keep the pressure on and hold people's feet to the to fire do something about it. and frankly today this might i'm joined might have happened. i'm joined now by political reporter, now by our political reporter, catherine you can catherine forster. you can outline bit more outline in a bit more detail that really what the that really what's what the problem are problem has promised. there are practical so more police national agency but also national crime agency but also crucially no longer letting political correctness or fear of getting in the way of to the bottom of grooming gang issues. yes, the government talking really on this, announcing this

raft of measures and assuming the resources are put behind it could potentially lead to a dramatic change. so suella braverman has in for quite a lot of flak . tracy brabin, the of flak. tracy brabin, the labouh of flak. tracy brabin, the labour, mayor of west , has said labour, mayor of west, has said this is dog whistle because suella braverman has specifically meant and the fact that british, pakistani males have made up quite a large proportion of grooming gangs in areas like rochdale, rotherham , areas like rochdale, rotherham, etc. now that is correct, of course. it's also that the majority of sexual offences committed by white men, but that's because only 14% of the population are non—white white in this country. so it's battle that the government are going to tackle on. they don't care about the backlash. they really feel that this has been swept under the carpet for a long time and that too often people positions of power, police officers ,

of power, police officers, social workers, etc. have known that terrible have been done to particularly working class vulnerable white girls and have turned a blind eye. i have nothing because they don't want to branded as racist and the that this has got to stop so from a practical policing of view then what's going to happen we're aware of we're going to be more resources. so yes. so they're launching this task force today. homes secretary and the prime minister were in rochdale and in leeds they're going to parachute specialist police into areas where there's grooming gangs that have experience of working in this field there's going to be tougher sentences when the perpetrator puts perpetrators of to justice. yeah then they're going to collect the ethnicity of all the people that are charged and found of these crimes so that they can have a clear evidence based record of who is committing them . and also who is committing them. and also there'll be a legal duty on

people in professional jobs, with a duty of care for children's safety, social workers, etc. if they have evidence that grooming is being carried out , they legally have carried out, they legally have to speak up or face a penalty i think what's astonishing is most people, i would imagine, would assume that that would happen anyway . they will in those sort anyway. they will in those sort of positions would do the right thing . but obviously it's been thing. but obviously it's been a lot of nerve being felt under a lot of nerve being felt under a lot of nerve being felt under a lot of pressure to say nothing country. you much as country. thank you very much as eveh country. thank you very much as ever. catherine forster our political now. yes. if political report now. yes. if you are joining is that is you are just joining is that is look it's a the kind of win that you never want to have because you never want to have because you would hope that issues like this grooming gangs this in terms of grooming gangs never to fruition never actually came to fruition in first but in the first place, but nonetheless is big result, nonetheless it is a big result, i think, for anyone who really cares passionately the cares passionately about the grooming stopping grooming gang issue and stopping it. and it feels as though there's not only been down there's not only been let down in but have actually in the past, but have actually been been wilfully been buried, have been wilfully ignored, been just ignored, have been just discarded and this has been evidenced as well. it's not just potentially people like yourself

at saying or people like me at home saying or people like me spouting on the spouting it out on the television . i mean, there have television. i mean, there have been reports where, police forces said, we didn't want forces have said, we didn't want to stoke racial tensions , we to stoke racial tensions, we didn't want to reveal the ethnicity people we didn't ethnicity of people we didn't want to maybe drill down into it as as possibly could as much as we possibly could have so we've all known as much as we possibly could haveit's so we've all known as much as we possibly could haveit's been» we've all known as much as we possibly could haveit's been happening known as much as we possibly could haveit's been happening forwn as much as we possibly could haveit's been happening for a1 that it's been happening for a very, very long today could well mark the way mark a big change in the way that gangs are dealt that grooming gangs are dealt with and stopped in the united and hopefully the scale abuse of most certainly working class vulnerable white girls i mean any girl really but i'm just going again off the demographics of the victims by in the case of grooming gangs mostly men of british pakistani heritage can stop we won't able to hide the situation anymore . there we go. situation anymore. there we go. that's the latest from gb news has led the way in exposing the horror of, the grooming gangs. and you can watch our documentary, charlie peters documents grooming gangs. documents on grooming gangs. britain's available right britain's shame available right now on youtube and i don't think it's any coincidence that just a couple of months after that went

was $85 a barrel, which a very sharp increase . and this is sharp increase. and this is really tough for , the really tough for, the government, all of to us get our heads round because oil prices have been coming down over recent months . and that's why recent months. and that's why petrol and diesel have been coming down, helping to hopefully lower inflation in the months ahead, even though diesel , the van driver has been coming a lot more slowly. but what's happening now is that the opec exporters cartel plus russia. so the saudis the iranians, the iraqis, the mexico venezuela, they make up the opec exporter's cartel operation . russia, they cartel operation. russia, they control 90% of global oil reserves , which is really, reserves, which is really, really powerful. and about half of global oil sales. really powerful. and about half of global oil sales . and what of global oil sales. and what they're doing, patrick, is they've this was caused this price spike. they've signalled they're going to pump a million barrels a day less than they previously were. that's 1% reduction. it is 100 million barrels a day across the world. yeah. and that's on top of a 2

million barrel a day reduction they did a couple of months ago . so opec, this is what this is . yeah. for they deliberately restricting the supply of oil keep in order to keep the prices high that gives the opec members more money and more power and means western oil importers the uk have to pay more that's the way the world works and just at a time when western world is trying to solve inflation. yeah we don't want to do any more interest rate rises this is harming our banks is harming our mortgage holders harming everyone with that companies. so we want to rely on oil prices coming down to help rescue us from inflation but they're about have just gone up largely because of opec greatly . i mean because of opec greatly. i mean is staggering stuff, isn't it? i look we are going to have to move on now very quickly. right. but thank you very much for that name. economics and name. again, our economics and business there's a business editor. there's a lot more we have spoken more that we could have spoken to the world of to you about the world of economics business. and economics and business. and we'll hopefully to that we'll hopefully return to that as on. but it's a as a bit later on. but it's a

offences. right. it's obviously been a fascinating show this with lots of different bits of breaking news, but are going to go now to topic which is a big debate for us. thousands of people forced wait up to people were forced to wait up to 24 24 hours dover the 24 and 24 hours at dover the weekend. travelling by weekend. people travelling by carriage queues weekend. people travelling by carritory queues weekend. people travelling by carritory mp queues weekend. people travelling by carritory mp lawson queues weekend. people travelling by carritory mp lawson saidqueues weekend. people travelling by carritory mp lawson said a|eues weekend. people travelling by carritory mp lawson said a lack and tory mp lawson said a lack of staff at the french border control was to blame delays, not brexit, but labour leader keir starmer said . brexit has had an starmer said. brexit has had an impact on the disruption . so impact on the disruption. so what's blame? joining me now what's to blame? joining me now is smith, former director is tony smith, former director general uk force and general, the uk border force and also travel. simon calder a fantastic both of you good stuff, tony. i want bring you up first. who's to blame tony is it is it is a brexit is it the french? what is going on? tony smith, the former director general of uk, both for i believe it might just be a little bit of an issue with tony. i wonder if you bring simon up instead. either of them will be absolutely fantastic. can you imagine being stuck ? can can you imagine being stuck? can you imagine being stuck for 24 hours a car with screaming

hours in a car with screaming kids, the background or a coach load of kids something? be load of kids something? i'd be a nightmare. we've got simon calder audit of the calder fantastic audit of the waffle. to simon? waffle. who's to blame, simon? brexit the french. patrick i don't think blame is the right way. well, we've got exactly what we ask for. and these are the currency. we voted democratically to leave the european union . the table that european union. the table that we agreed with europe was that we agreed with europe was that we would impose a half board eu border, just like we've got with the eu has , with russia and with the eu has, with russia and with turkey in kent we said wanted to put it in a place you just see it on the screen now which is incredible we constrained it's just a little of ground between the white cliffs and the channel and there is simply no room to expand and every test, every takes about five times longer than it did previously . well than it did previously. well before you needed to do generally was a wave, a british passport and they would let you on your way. we want to be treated as country citizens .

treated as country citizens. that means simon, i see the same examined and just before i go to tony. sorry sir is it the same the french side? i mean, is it the french side? i mean, is it the same? simon on the french side with french people to come in? because i'm not hearing reports massive, massive delays on that just very quickly, patrick, that's because the vast majority, about two thirds, at least of the people are british who going over. when come who are going over. when we come back in all the uk border force wants to do is check. that is patrick and is his passport. so there's none of the checking dates looking your passport dates looking at your passport to what's been going on the have to what's been going on the have to do because ask to do it. all right tony, got one for you now. tony look, we have been hearing reports of there being kind of one person in the french booth taking their time over, stamping everything india. is there any truth this thing? is patrick, truth to this thing? is patrick, that there's a big change on in the way the eu borders are going to be managed in the future? this is called eu borders program. they are now routinely stamping scanning passports from

what we call third country nationals, which we now are because we're not eu nationals. what's what we're missing one thing patch. what? my case, the fault of the uk border force delighted to be a that for a change because we don't do any politics in dover if there were queues on the french side you could blame us, but there aren't any. so we do remarkably well as any. so we do remarkably well as a ukip border force in all of this. but what we do need to wake to is technology. patrick there things we do, there are things we can do, things on different things going on in different borders. we scan passports borders. we can scan passports before we don't have to before travel. we don't have to open everything passport anymore, every passport to anymore, stamp every passport to get on across borders . huge get on across borders. huge digital disruption . what we need digital disruption. what we need is collaboration between port of doveh is collaboration between port of dover, the french and the technology company. we can have a through no a drive through that, no problem. technically g wise problem. technically g wise problem politically . we must go problem politically. we must go at sitting down work in this area with the ports is the third companies and we can do it. but not happening as i think all look both of you thank you very

committed this series string of abs(shown offences, committed this series string of abs(shown no offences, committed this series string of abs(shown no remorse nces, committed this series string of abs(shown no remorse ,:es, committed this series string of abs(shown no remorse , has shown has shown no remorse, has shown no of guilt on anything. what so ever and was so cowardly that he did not come of the cell into the courtroom today to hear the victim impact statements or face the music from a judge . let's the music from a judge. let's cross now to manchester crown court and. speak to gb news, this north—west reporter raper who's been covering this trial start to finish for us. so for you, you were in there today as . this verdict or the sentence was read out. just talk to me a bit about place . well been a bit about place. well been a highly emotional day, patrick. this case is obviously been incredibly complex from the very beginning. back in august of last year. we've heard several statements in the last 30 minutes or so outside manchester crown court. first we heard from olivia's auntie, who gave a state on behalf of her brother and olivia's father, john. she thanked the jury , the police and thanked the jury, the police and a key witness who all helped to

find guilty. she the greatest hope now that this conviction will to take more guns off the streets. finishing saying olivia pratt—korbel died a scared nine year old and we hope cashman haunted by this for the rest of his life. now we then heard from olivia's mother cheryl corbo. she described her daughter as a sassy , chatty girl who never run sassy, chatty girl who never run out of energy. she told media here that we can now draw a line on the several months of agonising torment we have had to endure at the hands of cashman. and although she was relieved by the sentence he has now received, she said, my family and i have already started our life sentence. finally we heard from detective superintendent mark baker from merseyside police. he spoke the bravery shown by key witness who we can't name for legal reasons but who gave chris equal evidence in

this case. he compared her bravery to the cowardice shown by thomas cashman . finally, he by thomas cashman. finally, he said he wants the sentence to act as a deterrent to anyone who's considering picking up a gun. thomas cashman has now been sentenced to 42 years minimum in prison, after committing a series of crimes , namely the series of crimes, namely the murder of nine year old olivia pratt—korbel bell. thank you very much. have you read the north—west of england? reporter was outside manchester crown court. just worth noting, these sentences are going to run concurrently. and this is why i was asking you or not. you think this sentence is long enough? sounds long. doesn't say life minimum. 42 years. but bear in mind that includes the murder of nine corbell in nine year old olivia corbell in road home. the attempted murder of joseph nee who was the target, the wounding intent of olivia's mum and two firearms offences . so the sentencing for

offences. so the sentencing for each of those is for two years for the murder, 22 years for the attempted murder , ten years for attempted murder, ten years for the wounding with intent and 18 years the two firearms offences. all rolled into one mean that all rolled into one to mean that it will be 42 years. do you think long enough when think that's long enough when you those four offences you look at those four offences or think it is just this or do you think it is just this is a mixed bag right in the box at the moment? gb views gbnews.uk. an overwhelming gbnews.uk. but an overwhelming consensus that thomas cashman actually, for all the bravado of gang is clearly gang culture, is clearly a coward, could not bring up to the court room to actually listen the victim impact listen to the victim impact statements the from a statements or face the from a judge. what worth as judge. for what it's worth as well are coming in well as reports are coming in there's around £250,000 there's around a £250,000 bounty on his in prison. on his head for his in prison. now we go we're going to go now, though, to different story. a major win for gb news. and it is a big victory there as we've been banging the as the been banging the drum as the people's for a topic people's channel for a topic that frankly, no other news outlet been touching with outlet has been touching with a bargepole despite fact that you, the about the people, massively care about this. the issue of this. and that is the issue of grooming the government grooming gangs. the government has vowed to finally crack has now vowed to finally crack on gangs with tough on grooming gangs with tough ascents and says new taskforce

ascents and says a new taskforce . well, but also get this the mandatory release of the ethnicity of the people who are charged and found guilty of grooming gangs offences. and that's going have to be recorded. why? well, because , recorded. why? well, because, rishi sunak the political rishi sunak said the political correctness will no longer stand in the way of tackling the problem after. in the way of tackling the problem after . suella in the way of tackling the problem after. suella braverman specifically british specifically singled british pakistani men as being largely responsible for grooming gangs. home secretary suella braverman has given an exclusive interview to gb news following our documentary and our investigative report into grooming gangs in the country, conducted peters conducted by charlie peters suella braverman said that it's not racist to tell the truth ultimately silence enabled this abuse. silence on the part of professionals fear being called racist , fear about cultural racist, fear about cultural sensitivity , fear about sensitivity, fear about inflaming cohesion in communities . it inflaming cohesion in communities. it is inflaming cohesion in communities . it is absolutely communities. it is absolutely vital we call out the truth of what's been going on and that's why mandatory reporting is an

important tool in armoury of measures that we are announcing today. it's not racist to tell the truth about what has been on here in rochdale or in rotherham or in telford . local reviews and or in telford. local reviews and have confirmed that the grooming gangs scam and all that has gone on here has perpetrated by largely british, pakistani men. now it's important not to demonise a whole community and the vast majority of british are lured doing and straightforward people. but it is also clear to say that these towns and i've met victims today who've confirmed much bearing out their own experience , that there have own experience, that there have been cultural trend aids in the practises that we've and authorities and professionals have turned a blind eye out of fear of being called political correctness can longer be an obstacle to taking action . obstacle to taking action. absolutely people are very quick, aren't they? very keen to

point out minor issues with absolutely everything. but when it comes to the fact that, grooming gangs has been a hot spot for elements of the british pakistani community, people want to just keep quiet about that . to just keep quiet about that. well, no longer. and that is , of well, no longer. and that is, of course, to gb news his very investigative reports that charlie peters and also now fundamentally an announcement by the home secretary and the prime minister. joining us is columnist commentator samantha smith, was herself sadly , a smith, who was herself sadly, a victim of child sexual abuse . victim of child sexual abuse. samantha, thank you very much. what do you make of the announcements today? there's more police, but there's also going be no fear of being going to be no fear of being called racist, no political called a racist, no political correctness way, correctness getting in the way, stoking racial tensions all those phrases. that's the those usual phrases. that's the window now. and a cold, hard lie of reality supposedly going to be shown on the grooming issue. your views , i think, is your views, i think, is necessary and people may get upset. so all the bravado rishi sunak because they they view this as unnecessarily demonising a community of people. how the

us do all this and i'll, i'll emphasise it isn't racist to tell the truth at the end of the day. yes child , sexual abuse is day. yes child, sexual abuse is predominantly committed by white men because we are a predominantly white nation. however, fact in telford, however, the fact in telford, for example, every man, every single perpetrator that was convicted in operations , convicted in operations, operations, delta and operation epsilon, which were the sexual exploitation operations in my town, every single individual was of quote unquote, south asian heritage and were predominately described by and survivors as being pakistani. this is . a know an unnecessary this is. a know an unnecessary demonisation of pakistani muslim, british men . this is muslim, british men. this is identifying very real trends and problems within the specific community. and i mean, it was reported in the tulsa report that those in positions of authority so for example teachers and social workers and were discouraged from reports due to quote unquote nervousness

about race and that the police west mercia police failed in most basic duty in arresting waiting reports of alleged child sexual exploitation because were scared of being called racist or bigoted or right wing, etc, etc. i think that this new announcement, particularly the fact that we are now going to have verifiable data on the ethnicities of perpetrators of child sexual exploitation is absolutely necessary step because no will people be able to claim well isn't enough data there isn't enough verifiable information on whether this is committed by british pakistani muslim men. but there's now it's going to be a mandatory reporting tool. i mean it's fascinating really the psychology of this because by deliberately not investigating or prosecuting or reporting on an issue for fear of stoking racial tensions, that in a way you everything that you need to know about the kind of people who are actually doing a lot of the perpetrating of this you wouldn't need to worry about not

racial tensions if that wasn't potentially a racial element to samantha i might have to go very quickly over to because we're taking live footage from president , i believe. but president trump, i believe. but i believe we've still got samantha for the second, though , i've made some up this myth that is a columnist and that you is a columnist and commentator. be of commentator. so just be aware of that. samantha, case that. samantha, in case i interrupt me because i know it's an emotional topic, but do you feel though that was racism feel as though that was racism involved in actual actions involved in the actual actions themselves? no racism themselves? talk about no racism against with against the perpetrators with hiding now, was hiding behind the now, but was it racism towards working it not racism towards working class, white class, vulnerable young white girls that? girls and all of that? absolutely i mean, in tulsa, for example , young girls were called example, young girls were called child prostitutes. they were called white slags , were called called white slags, were called packages. and if the police of west mercia police able to west mercia police are able to say young white, say this about young white, predominately working class girls, allowed say girls, then i'm allowed to say it is just me it on tv. this is just me repeating exactly what these individuals are in positions of power who were supposed be charged protecting charged with protecting vulnerable little girls from being exploitation and abuse. this what they were saying. so,

of course , learned of course, learned investigations and of course , i investigations and of course, i want prosecutions. of course, there charges brought want prosecutions. of course, there these charges brought want prosecutions. of course, there these men|es brought want prosecutions. of course, there these men because ht want prosecutions. of course, there these men because the against these men because the positions of power, those who have under, i'm very sorry. have come under, i'm very sorry. so i'm very sorry about this. i did did it. we're going to did did raise it. we're going to go now . thank you so much. go live now. thank you so much. this matter just reporting about this matterjust reporting about the issue . look, the grooming gang issue. look, donald to board donald trump is due to board private plane very, very in head to new york city . and he's the to new york city. and he's the 45th president of the united states . he will create history states. he will create history when he appears in court tomorrow. just a little apology . if anyone was offended by any strong language that was used moment ago, that that is, of course, the language that has been revealed in various different reports. that's different reports. but that's where are. to trump now, where we are. but to trump now, he the first current he will become the first current or former president to ever or former us president to ever be and charged with a be arrested and charged with a crime course. live pictures crime course. some live pictures now for of president trump, i believe, i think in a motorcade at, an airport there. yes. there we go. president trump has left

, left florida at mar a lago and.he , left florida at mar a lago and. he will be getting on a plane shortly from west palm beach, where will be flying to face the music in a manhattan criminal court. it's noting as well that we are unaware yet as to the full extent of the charges that donald trump is going to face. i'm joined now by john, who is a former us national security adviser under . president trump on a man who's been steeped in american political history himself. john, how are you ? i'm glad to be with how are you? i'm glad to be with you.thank how are you? i'm glad to be with you. thank you very much. i know that been waiting a little while there for us. so appreciate hanging on for us. how do you feel, first foremost, feel, first and foremost, i presume to in a matter of presume to be in a matter of minutes, we are going to be minutes, we all are going to be watching former president donald trump plane trump taking off on a plane about and face criminal about go and face criminal charges. your views on that ? charges. your views on that? well, as far as hard as it may seem to believe , trump has seem to believe, trump has turned this prospect of indictment into a political plus for himself. he has condemned the district attorney in

manhattan as politically biased, politically motivated and said this is part of a long pattern of authorities picking on because of his because of the positions he and the public opinion polls show that it is garnered for him a significant in support. now we'll see how this turns out. this is simply the indictment stage still has to be a trial that could be a year off, but is a measure of trump's support that , trump's support that, unfortunately, in my view , a lot unfortunately, in my view, a lot of republicans have rallied round it. now, to be clear , i round it. now, to be clear, i would have brought this case. i wouldn't have voted for the district attorney in new york. who is bringing it. but it's possible to hold . look, can you possible to hold. look, can you talk to me about that , john? talk to me about that, john? just that's a really that's just say that's a really that's a really key point to drill down on because, look, we've spoken before, fair to say before, john, it's fair to say you're a massive of you're not a massive fan of former president donald trump. so really so i think he's really fascinating you you fascinating to hear you that you wouldn't for the wouldn't have voted for the

attorney who's brought this and these charges against him . bragg these charges against him. bragg and you wouldn't have and that you wouldn't have brought the case. so why ? well, brought the case. so why? well, it's possible for two things to be true, singleton honestly saying one, that the prosecutor was politically biased and saying, two, that donald is guilty of the charge he is under numerous criminal investigations. one for attempted vote stealing in georgia, two federal investigations for the classified documents matter and for the january six riot. so these four criminal investigations , if you ask most investigations, if you ask most observers to rank them, 1 to 4, as to how strong they are, case in new york would have ranked about sixth or seventh. it's a tawdry, sleazy case. it hardly sounds like something worthy of the dignity of a president of the dignity of a president of the united states . but if he's the united states. but if he's guilty of it and it is under new york law, it could be felony. nonetheless that's something that he'll have defend against in court. look claiming

discrimination, persecution and malicious, malicious prosecution , whole range of things. he'll have a chance to make those arguments in court and you rightly said that this is actually as potentially quite a good situation . donald trump and good situation. donald trump and some have even said if he stands if he wants run again to be the president of united , which he president of united, which he obviously does, he might actually win a prison cell . actually win a prison cell. well, i think i think one of the reasons republicans are so frustrated and so many attacking the district is that donald trump is the democratic party's best. if he were to get republican nomination, it would guarantee that anybody that they nominated win and not only win the presidency but score significant gains the senate and the house. so this is for those who want to sponsor a conservative republican nominee , this this indictment is not good news . yeah absolutely. now, good news. yeah absolutely. now, look what people will be able see immediately on the screens is the trump aircraft trump

false wall and stay with me, john, if that's all right, trump pulls one. we're expecting donald trump arrive in a few donald trump to arrive in a few minutes time. we have footage earlier on from trump leaving mar a lago being driven in a motorcade from his home there and going to be taken to the airport that will giving live shots and we'll be watching that plane take off hopefully live here news, presumably in a here on gb news, presumably in a few minutes time as the as he does arrive. that is any little bits of you, john and i want to emphasise you're not a massive fan of donald trump is there any bits of other things that this is a bit of a witch as we see pictures that by the way of trump leaving mar a lago and being driven to the airport. do you there's any bit to this is a witch hunt jump. well i think it's i think it's entirely possible. look district possible. look this district attorney for office attorney campaign for office saying going to find saying he was going to find a way to indict donald trump . and, way to indict donald trump. and, you lavrentiy beria, you know, as lavrentiy beria, the one time head of the nkvd in the one time head of the nkvd in the soviet union days, said that joe stalin, you show me the man

and i'll show you the crime so people could reasonably this. now we have as do and the uk defence says against prosecutorial misconduct if trump can prove it. but prosecutors have very broad discretion and for law and order it pinches little bit to say we want limit the prosecutors discretion . they don't have discretion. they don't have unlimited reach. they do have standards , ethical constraints. standards, ethical constraints. they have make. so if donald trump can prove that this prosecutor gone out of out of bounds , then he should get the bounds, then he should get the case dismissed . we'll see what case dismissed. we'll see what he has to say about it. john, thank you very much. john bolton is a former us security adviser under president. really appreciate your time today . know appreciate your time today. know you've been waiting a long time and massively appreciate it. okay. all right. now, look what is interesting that i think is the that bolton the fact that john bolton doesn't like trump. he's very open he doesn't like open about that. he doesn't like the not going to go the guy at all. not going to go quite as far as hey, but not far. and even he's saying, well, so brought this case.

so you have brought this case. he brought these he wouldn't have brought these charges. angle that charges. he can the angle that maybe a bit a witch maybe this is a bit of a witch hunt. that's interesting. i wasn't really expecting him to say that again. i just want to emphasise got live footage emphasise have got live footage of force. is this of trump force. what is this known aeroplane is going known trump's aeroplane is going to take off from west palm spnngs to take off from west palm springs and he's going to take him to manhattan where will him to manhattan where he will face arrest and ultimately court as well for these we as yet again don't quite understand or know the true extent of the charges. we know that one of them is in relation to a hush money payment to star stormy daniels, who is, by the way, also making quite a lot of money off this as far as what she's selling merchandise online, believe or not, that's the believe it or not, that's the aeroplane i'm to new aeroplane that i'm going to new york i i was actually we york now. i i was actually we have mccaffrey that's have set darren mccaffrey that's on new york on virtually in new york politico darren mccaffrey politico it's a darren mccaffrey who is yes there he is near trump tower where as we understand donald trump is understand it, donald trump is going spending before going to be spending the before he court . yeah, indeed. he attends court. yeah, indeed. we're going to expect him here. what next? three or 4 hours also. so that flight up ,

for their children for their jobs?it for their children for their jobs? it raises huge more problems and think that teachers should think better that maybe their conditions aren't they like but they should have thought of that they joined the teaching profession and they're very good at it. and also think that if there conditions of work were and they had more planning their school lessons for their children and not so much paperwork paperwork paperwork . paperwork paperwork paperwork. it would be better . paperwork paperwork paperwork. it would be better. do paperwork paperwork paperwork. it would be better . do you paperwork paperwork paperwork. it would be better. do you think that teachers already paid for the job that they do ? well, they the job that they do? well, they do get three holidays a year. and they do sometimes to work in the evening. but what job doesn't involve evening ? i think doesn't involve evening? i think probably are. and if they're not, there's another way of going about it. not, there's another way of going about it . they could talk

going about it. they could talk to our education minister. she's asked them to do more rather than jeopardise the careers, the lives of children who have one go through their education. and if that's interrupted , if that's if that's interrupted, if that's muddled, it's very hard on our children . no, honest. thank you children. no, honest. thank you very very much. i'm sorry. this is a bit short and sweet, but we've got a lot of breaking news to get today. and i you said that you didn't know you come around. is this looking more than okay to me? and i said thank very much that i got phil is education commentator and former and a—level former gcse and a—level examiners have ideas back examiners will have ideas back on a bit more on them talking a bit more detail the teachers detail about the teachers another because i want go another day because i want go live now we'll go back to america. i think people were going to west palm beach in florida we've florida because we've got footage of president donald trump's plane on the tarmac that's airport and what you'll be able to see there is the motorcade a motorcade arriving . motorcade a motorcade arriving. look, a bit of context for you .

look, a bit of context for you. former president has left mar a lago, which is a sprawling beachfront residence, isn't it? and members club in palm beach, florida . and he is to leave florida. and he is to leave florida. and he is to leave florida and leave get on that plane , fly over to manhattan to plane, fly over to manhattan to face the music front in courtroom . he's going to be courtroom. he's going to be accompanied and this is why you can see such a massive, massive concrete of vehicles there by secret service from the moment leaves mar a lago. so this is of the conditions, by the way, of not being put in handcuffs was that he would be accompanied by service agents at all. so he has now left in mar a lago, that beachfront place and was being dnven beachfront place and was being driven to the airport. so he's flanked by a load of secret service agents who will be in some of those cars that you've just seen and there's dozens and dozens of these people. they need sure that trip need to make sure that that trip secure. what's going secure. so what's going to happen we'll see this in happen is and we'll see this in a matter of moments former a matter of moments is former president donald trump getting

on that plane? trump force one, as it's known as before he flies over to manhattan where he will present himself . we understand present himself. we understand that he's going to spend the evening in trump tower. we've got darren mccaffrey in york got darren mccaffrey in new york awaiting the arrival that will be that will be be processed, that will be supporters, will probably supporters, it will probably kick can see kick right off. we can all see that coming mile away. that that coming a mile away. that and tomorrow trump will basically be in court and we will out, ladies and will find out, ladies and gentlemen, dark gentlemen, because in the dark at moment, we will find out at the moment, we will find out exactly been charged . exactly what he's been charged. so, yes, those are live of west palm beach, florida , where we palm beach, florida, where we are that plane to take are expecting that plane to take off in probably a few minutes time as and when former president donald trump gets on it . just a little bit of info it. just a little bit of info very quickly, by the way, it's trump force. it's a boeing trump air force. it's a boeing 7574 plane enthusiasts out there. and apparently how much can it cost ? $100 million, can it cost? $100 million, supposedly and that was back in 2011. so you mentioned what it's worth now. there we go. all right. okay. well, we'll give you all the latest announcement get. so we're going to keep a close eye on that.

close beady eye always on that. moving so problem has moving on. so problem has singled british pakistan singled out british pakistan funny discussed funny man she discussed crackdown on grooming gangs was she to do that i'm patrick she right to do that i'm patrick christys on gb news britain's news there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner, you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth,

on average, £3,500 a year and you could get help with heating bills and more, plus up to £900 in cost of living payments.

yeah. ladies and gentlemen, what you're witnessing here now is trump force one. donald trump's personal aircraft at west palm beach in florida , the airport beach in florida, the airport there. and it is moving position potentially if you take off . potentially if you take off. look, just in case you're wondering why, ana if this is happening, donald is going to fly from to new york's laguardia airport on that private plane andifs airport on that private plane and it's going to take him around 3 hours. and when he gets laguardia, he's going to be taken trump tower, all time. all the while he's going to be flying by secret service agents. he's going to take the evening at trump tower, which about a 45

minute drive through queens, apparently from the airport over , the east river into manhattan . and then what's going to happen tomorrow is that from trump tower , he's going to be trump tower, he's going to be taken to manhattan courts, buildings again with a major security operation involved non—stop secret service agents all around him . the time that all around him. the time that jenny will take around 30 minutes, we know if president trump is going to make any remarks to the cameras or what's going to happen . new york police going to happen. new york police officers are going to be surrounding him at all times. he is going officially be is then going to officially be arrested. i'm face charges again. i want to stress that . do again. i want to stress that. do not know yet. nobody knows. yeah, certainly the media or outside of a very small circle people exactly what president trump is going to be charged with there's rumours that it might be around . counsel have to might be around. counsel have to wait and see. look, we know that at least one of those is in relation to some hush money that paid former a star paid to a former adult a star actress star stormy daniels of around hundred and $30,000 that

was made in the run up to president trump's initial presidential campaign and the noise is about all of that the fact that does that in itself not legal but the way that it may or may not have been published is what is what is what is actually up to play for here. so aircraft they're looking at now is air force one. it is on the airport on the tarmac there at west palm beach in florida. and what we're expecting is any moment anywhere, president to get on that and then that take off. i just want to give you an interesting that has just come through to me it's just come to me from a white house spokesperson saying that spokesperson who is saying that they are ready and prepared for violence, if indeed there are protests and counter—protest as such. you this is fascinating because. donald trump has a fanatical fan base and he is by far and the republicans voters choice to be the next president , the united states to be as

leader of , the republican party leader of, the republican party to lead them into the next presidential election over. and what is fascinating is that already since news of his arrest , his news of him being taken to new york to face criminal proceedings broke . $5 million of proceedings broke. $5 million of donations have come in to his . donations have come in to his. now, that is especially incredible considering a lot of those will be very small donations. they'll be ordinary men and women out there in america maybe not with a huge amount of money to their name. so it's a lot of small donations coming in. and this actually leading that leading people to think that this do. president trump this could do. president trump former good than former president trump good than bad because bad really because his popularity appears to be going up as result of this and isn't up as a result of this and isn't it amazing psychologically to think about fact that think about the fact that there's going a lot of there's going for a lot of people is untouchable is people is untouchable he is bracketing a hunt. i had bracketing this is a hunt. i had john bolton on earlier on and a lot of people watching his listening will know john bolton . a united states . he's a former united states national security adviser and he

also served reagan. he is no fan or friend of former trump. they had a big falling out. or friend of former trump. they had a big falling out . indeed, had a big falling out. indeed, he was ousted , says he left. but he was ousted, says he left. but there you go . and he would say there you go. and he would say that he wouldn't brought these charges against trump and doesn't really support the individual who has which is the district attorney's there in manhattan. alvin bragg, who has been , have had been reported, have had previously very ties with the democrat party, as right into people's hands to , say that this people's hands to, say that this is a political witch hunt against president trump. and you know what it is working. because, like i those donations have gone through the roof. 5 million donations, $5 million donations to his campaign and his in the polls is surging. but when we say now about them being prepared for violence in new york, i think that is fascinating and it really stems from the january the storming of the capitol it is fascinating to see that the senate source said it does look as though a lot of

people were essentially way through. there wasn't a massive security operation to stop them, was there? but there we go. there risks trump has there are risks that trump has found base will come out in force. looking now, force. you are looking at now, is that playing trump force one at palm beach in florida? at west palm beach in florida? and moving on the runway. and it is moving on the runway. i'm to new york. i'm going to go to new york. i hope we can keep that plan in show well through this. just show as well through this. just we make sure we get that we want to make sure we get that taking. but darren mccaffrey is in york us, our political in new york us, our political editor trump tower editor who is near trump tower and. darren, i just want to know what of that line that what you make of that line that apparently the white is, apparently the white house is, oh, for violence. oh, they're ready for violence. what's about? yeah what's the about? yeah interesting this sense interesting that in this sense that you would expect , i that you would expect, i suppose, the new york police department to be ready for violence . you know, is violence. you know, this is a city responsibility . i think city responsibility. i think what's more interesting but in some ways it's just actually how few people we've seen here. i mean, there are across the road outside, trump tower, maybe a couple of dozen people who've holed up from signs. we saw that it no longer yesterday and

overnight as well . but we're not overnight as well. but we're not exactly seeing thousands or tens of thousands people on the streets now that may well change tomorrow there is an organised protest new york at 12 noon protest in new york at 12 noon tomorrow . there's out of a lot tomorrow. there's out of a lot of officers , of nypd of police officers, of nypd officers said to cancel the officers have said to cancel the leave to and on duty. so this will be a massive security operation b, no doubt about that. just to give you a sense of, the geography here, we're quite central park in quite near central park in manhattan at, height of manhattan at, the height of operations, if like trump tower behind that's he's to behind me, that's where he's to come tonight. and then later on tomorrow , he's going to travel tomorrow, he's going to travel tomorrow, he's going to travel to lower manhattan. as you about a 30 minute drive down the road to courthouse. so all in to that courthouse. so all in all, i have to say, patrick, you know what? we've not really seen many protesters so far. we've got wait and see what got lots wait and see for what happens. is happens. and while there is a sense that this has played into donald trump's hands in portraying this to the windshields and seems to increased his popularity among those republican right, whether he's the official nominee for

president next year, i think the bigger question is how does play among the general u.s. among the general us population ? and at the moment, population? and at the moment, that's yet to be seen . and like that's yet to be seen. and like you said that trump base is really rallying was taking live shots from the airport in west palm beach as president trump's plane appears to me anyway to be preparing to take. we have more detail on for you. the detail on that for you. the motorcade left mar lago motorcade left mar a lago earlier fly with several earlier to fly with several secret agents. and, course , secret agents. and, of course, that really being the reason why will not be going anywhere in. handcuffs as part of a deal negotiated his legal team as long as that a security detail that members of the police members of the secret service special whatever you want special forces whatever you want to him at all to call them with him at all times then there was no chance really that he's going to go anywhere as and that was why they were saying he was not going taken anywhere in going to be taken anywhere in handcuffs. just remind handcuffs. daryn, just remind me. of you are now me. sorry of where you are now and the scene is because they were saying what the white house has and said, well, has come out and said, well, we're prepared violence, we're prepared for violence, but we're prepared for violence, but we saw a couple of we can just see saw a couple of trump flags there. the

background at the airport here. but where are now from but where you are now from what you're in mind, it's you're saying bear in mind, it's only three hour flight from only a three hour flight from where florida to, new where he is in florida to, new york, near where you there york, to near where you there are no according you massive amounts of protest either either political persuasion place in this phase of violence might be a bit overblown in themselves may be just ramping up the drama . yeah i mean i can tell you the wall multiple levels more journals from across the world than the wall anyone who seems to be politically persuaded one way or another. i mean, the wall i'd say a couple of dozen supporters of donald trump, but they're not. we're not seeing any mass protests. the police are i think prepared for are always, i think prepared for violence. i mean, i'd to violence. i mean, i'd like to know of probably the context of that the that that statement from the white least of all, white house, not least of all, because it's not actually their responsibility it's the nypd whose in whose responsibility in new york. and that's also interesting about these criminal charges ways we charges that in many ways we don't have. as you rightly pointed out, the charge sheet or believe that this that these actions in relation to what may

well be federal crimes. so it's got to be a really, really complex case. but doubt complex case. but no doubt i mean, the significance of this for you and he kind of brits for you and i he kind of brits if you like patrick rather than eric hit back this could have on the presidential election we've never been here before in terms of a president facing facing criminal and there will be that impact the voters of the united states and that will be crucial for all of us elsewhere in the world. darren, thank you very, very much. darren mccaffrey, our political editor in new york. now look, basically run now look, we have basically run out time . suggest out of time. i suggest ben jeeves is with me now. jeeves is here with me now. michelle james. and you've got about 20 seconds. what's going on? not grips. i do like in on? i'm not grips. i do like in cases this the cases like this on the aeroplane. like to see it at aeroplane. i like to see it at all times. are they what they're doing, yeah doing, what they're up to? yeah speaking to do speaking of what people to do over absolute mess. is it over and absolute mess. is it the fault of us. the pesky brexiteers or not also the whole grooming gang thing. brexiteers or not also the whole grooming gang thing . i'll grooming gang thing. i'll looking at that rent controls. all right because well hey what's not to like lies in judgement i've been patrick
