money under this scheme and that's aside from the moral arguments we've heard from some who've criticised the plan to send migrants potentially be refugees to rwanda . now the refugees to rwanda. now the government would and have said actually this policy is fundamentally about deterrence. mark and so if you deter people from coming , that number is from coming, that number is likely to fall as in le. i think they worked it out. if it's 30, 40% of people do not come to these shores because they don't want to end up in rwanda , they don't get on with rwanda, they don't get on with small boats . well, actually, in small boats. well, actually, in the end, better value for the end, it's better value for money for taxpayers than processing here on processing claims here on similar the big similar levels. the big question, course , is will the question, of course, is will the rwanda rwanda policy act as a deterrent? the idea of it deterrent? simply the idea of it has not, because the number of migrants arriving on our shores this month is a record high compared to this time last year. labour branded this all somewhat of a joke. the government, though, were determined to push ahead all this we're ahead with all of this and we're likely more legal likely to hear more legal findings, like , the

findings, if you like, the result of another court case on whether the rwanda flights will actually take off soon actually take off as soon as thursday. caroline nokes, thursday. and caroline nokes, the thursday. and caroline nokes, tte etatttaar— thursday. and caroline nokes, the chairman of— thursday. and caroline nokes, the chairman of the- : and caroline nokes, the chairman of the committee , the chairman of the committee, ste— the chairman of the committee, ste yor— the chairman of the committee, sae ytr tata— the chairman of the committee, she you know, she's been very stttat— she you know, she's been very strong or— she you know, she's been very strong or saytat— she you know, she's been very strong on saying that children sttrtt— strong on saying that children sttrtt att— strong on saying that children should not be— strong on saying that children should not be detained . and should not be detained. and year.— should not be detained. and year. art— should not be detained. and year. art t— should not be detained. and yeah, and i think it's a tetrtatet— yeah, and i think it's a reminder in— yeah, and i think it's a reminder in the end that aetratty— reminder in the end that actually not— reminder in the end that actually not every conservative mp actually not every conservative trt ts— actually not every conservative mp is necessarily— actually not every conservative mp is necessarily in favour of ttts— mp is necessarily in favour of ttts . — mp is necessarily in favour of ttts . t— mp is necessarily in favour of this. i think— mp is necessarily in favour of this. i think it's— mp is necessarily in favour of this. i think it's fair- mp is necessarily in favour of this . a . this. i think it's fair to say the vast majority are. and they do think that something needs to be done. i think that's fair, actually. all mps think something needs to be done. whether the wonder plan is the solution or not. most conservative mps would back. we know has know the prime minister has got this stop this pledge of trying to stop the boats, if you like, though that seems at the moment a little bit shaky. but you're right in saying actually right in saying that actually not all conservative mps caroline nokes , effectively caroline nokes, effectively saying concerned saying that she's concerned about that this could about the impact that this could have particularly children have on particularly children that are unaccompanied and also there is concern, too, about the fact that there aren't these other kind of safe legal routes

for people to come into the uk that the government say they are determined to and up determined to try and open up more routes in addition to the ones they've got for people from ukraine, and ukraine, hong kong and elsewhere. so it's pretty complex stuff, but this is pretty embarrassing for the government. the opposition are asking an urgent question in parliament as we speak. the home secretary is in new zealand at a meeting of the five eyes. so she's responding to of she's not responding to all of that. she's not responding to all of that . but the she's not responding to all of that. but the end it's based that. but in the end it's based on that initially on this premise that initially it's value for money. it's not good value for money. it if this policy it is only if this policy genuinely acts as a deterrent that the government can claim it is the question is is working. the big question is will it be a deterrent ? at the will it be a deterrent? at the moment they can prove it might make logical sense, but they can't prove the moment will can't prove at the moment will act deterrence, though they act as deterrence, though they are to are, as i say, determined to push with the scheme. push ahead with the scheme. okay, darren mccaffrey thank you so okay, darren mccaffrey thank you st-tttattat— okay, darren mccaffrey thank you st-tttattat rs- so much for bringing us the tatest— so much for bringing us the tatest ta— so much for bringing us the latest on -and - so much for bringing us the. latest on -and - bring latest on that. and let's bring you— latest on that. and let's bring ytr-tatest— latest on that. and let's bring you-latest now— latest on that. and let's bring you-latest now on- latest on that. and let's bring you latest now on news you the latest now on the news ttat— you the latest now on the news ttatltatttt— you the latest now on the news thatlballot of— you the latest now on the news that ballot of nurses for that a ballot of nurses for stttte— that a ballot of nurses for strike action— that a ballot of nurses for strike action has failed to react— strike action has failed to react tte— strike action has failed to reach the legal threshold. the ttyat— reach the legal threshold. the rttyat ctttete— reach the legal threshold. the royal college of— reach the legal threshold. the royal college of nursing has announced and— royal college of nursing has

already about 1400 for an average nurse. so we welcome the fact that that we did reach an agreement that pay rise is going to be landing now in over a million nhs workers pay packets this month. and that will make a real difference to them. so we welcome the news today that strike action is on hold for nurses . this strike action is on hold for nurses. this could be branded as a for government , nurses. this could be branded as a for government, but a relief for the government, but at of the day, we still at the end of the day, we still have massive day have that massive five day walkout of junior doctors. so it's not really a relief, is it? you've still got a lot on your plate and you've still got a lot of who feel you're of nhs workers who feel you're doing thing. doing the wrong thing. absolutely you know, there's a there's a of challenges. and there's a lot of challenges. and at when trying to at a time when we're trying to get for get waiting lists down for patients made good patients who've made good progress, we've virtually eliminated two wait and eliminated the two year wait and the but every day the 18 month wait. but every day there's strike action that puts additional getting additional pressure on getting those down. it those waiting lists down. but it is staff council, which is is the staff council, which is made a wide variety of made up of a wide variety of unions the gmb to the royal unions from the gmb to the royal college of midwives accepted the pay college of midwives accepted the pay that is going to be pay deal that is going to be

implemented this month. and i think welcome that, think nurses will welcome that, particularly at time when particularly at a time when interest high and interest rates are high and inflation having inflation is high. having that extra money pay packet extra money in your pay packet at the end of the month will make a difference to those working the line. working on the front line. health there reacting health minister there reacting to health minister there reacting tt tte— health minister there reacting to tte aes— health minister there reacting to the news that— health minister there reacting to the news that the rcn has not teaetet— to the news that the rcn has not teactet tte— to the news that the rcn has not reached the threshold for industrial— reached the threshold for industrial action in its latest tatttt— industrial action in its latest tatttt. ttv— industrial action in its latest ballot. now let's update you on the ballot. now let's update you on tte tatrest— ballot. now let's update you on the inquest that's— ballot. now let's update you on the inquest that's been taking ttace— the inquest that's been taking ttaee ctrtse— the inquest that's been taking place course into— the inquest that's been taking place course into nicola bullies teatt— place course into nicola bullies teatt art— place course into nicola bullies teatt art tte— place course into nicola bullies death and the inquest and the coroner has been— death and the inquest and the coroner has been hearing from state— coroner has been hearing from sophie cartwright, kc, the tavyet— sophie cartwright, kc, the tavyet ttt— sophie cartwright, kc, the lawyer for the _ sophie cartwright, kc, the lawyer for the family, saying ttat— lawyer for the family, saying ttat tet— lawyer for the family, saying that her family— lawyer for the family, saying that her family believe her teatt— that her family believe her death accidental , while death was accidental, while stttte— death was accidental, while sophie cartwright kc saying what tatteret— sophie cartwright kc saying what tatteret ta— sophie cartwright kc saying what tatteret ta tte— sophie cartwright kc saying what happened on the riverbank sttttty— happened on the riverbank shortly after— happened on the riverbank shortly after 9:18 am. was a tatte— shortly after 9:18 am. was a tragic accident— shortly after 9:18 am. was a tragic accident .— shortly after 9:18 am. was a tragic accident . ms cartwright tragic accident. ms cartwright going— tragic accident. ms cartwright tttae ta— tragic accident. ms cartwright tttae or to— tragic accident. ms cartwright tttae or to say— tragic accident. ms cartwright going on to say there had been trrtt— going on to say there had been much rumours,— going on to say there had been much rumours, suspicion and stecrtattta— much rumours, suspicion and speculation death much rumours, suspicion andi speculation—death , speculation around her death, but speculation around her death, trt tte— speculation around her death, but the family— speculation around her death, but the family clearly the but the family very clearly the vtevv— but the family very clearly the vtev-srttrtt— but the family very clearly the view-submit-thatl but the family very clearly the. view-submit-that the view and submit to you that the rumour speculation is rumour and speculation is attayet— rumour and speculation is- attayet—tttttat allayed completely when looking at tte— allayed completely when looking at the evidence.— allayed completely when looking at the evidence. nikki's death vtrtt— at the evidence. nikki's death would-occurred - at the evidence. nikki's death would occurred shortly would have occurred very shortly attet— would have occurred very shortly after-entered— would have occurred very shortly after-entered the _ would have occurred very shortly after entered the water. after she entered the water. teat. — after she entered the water. teat. art — after she entered the water. yeah, and member- after she entered the water. yeah, and member of- after she entered the water. yeah, and member of nicola bully's family have also been

hancock finished speaking only a few minutes ago. we're expecting him to leave the inquiry in the coming minutes. but certainly he was someone with one clear thing to say today, and that was the entire framework, not just in this country, but in the across the western world was considered rooted in the completely wrong way that the way that we had planned for pandemics to deal with this sort of stuff was just completely , completely different completely, completely different from what could and should have worked . it was about mitigating worked. it was about mitigating the aftermath rather than preventing the actual motty. and in that , matt hancock kept in that, matt hancock kept returning to this original point almost throughout every question that was asked. his central theme that the system as it was constructed was was incorrect, and it led to one of the lawyers of the inquiry leading to a

slightly clunky analogy saying that those in individuals working within the system trying to deal with this unprecedented challenge were lions led by a systemic donkey . and that donkey systemic donkey. and that donkey is not an individual. it's a process. it's a framework . it's process. it's a framework. it's the inability of countries to have thought beyond and the very limited set of plans that all of these different countries had, andindeed these different countries had, and indeed that the united kingdom was ranked so well at in the run up to the pandemic. yeah. and matt hancock , we are yeah. and matt hancock, we are evtetttat— yeah. and matt hancock, we are evtetttat tt— yeah. and matt hancock, we are expecting to leave— yeah. and matt hancock, we are expecting to leave any minute nowt_ expecting to leave any minute now, so we will— expecting to leave any minute now, so we will stay on the on ttts— now, so we will stay on the on ttts sttt— now, so we will stay on the on ttts sttt tt — now, so we will stay on the on this shot to see _ now, so we will stay on the on this shot to see him leaving vtea— this shot to see him leaving vtea te— this shot to see him leaving when he arrives— this shot to see him leaving when he arrives .- this shot to see him leaving when he arrives . and i think he when he arrives. and i think he atttstet— when he arrives. and i think he was accosted by— when he arrives. and i think he was accosted by some people, vvaast— was accosted by some people, vvrast re.— was accosted by some people, wasn't he, tom?— was accosted by some people, wasn't he, tom? and then there a ttt— wasn't he, tom? and then there a ttt tt— wasn't he, tom? and then there were a lot of people watching ttta— were a lot of people watching tttr ttve— were a lot of people watching him give evidence. he said he

inquiry, a more left wing group campaigning about the nhs here. there are, of course , the group there are, of course, the group calling themselves covid bereaved families for justice calling themselves covid bereaved families forjustice as well, and a throng of reporters cameras or long lenses and a media scrum. so yes, there is energy outside this inquiry and no doubt people ready to say what they think of the former health secretary when he steps out of this door in what we can only presume to be a few minutes time. and also, tom, that anger tteatet— time. and also, tom, that anger even greater because— a and also, tom, that anger even greater because here was, ytr— even greater because here was, ytr tata— even greater because here was, ytr tatv. a— even greater because here was, you know, a health secretary ttttet— you know, a health secretary ttttet tt— you know, a health secretary forced to quit— you know, a health secretary forced to quit in— you know, a health secretary forced to quit in june 2021 terse— forced to quit in june 2021 terse te— forced to quit in june 2021 because he broke his own rules . because he broke his own rules. so because he broke his own rules. st ttete-s— because he broke his own rules. st ttete-s rt— because he broke his own rules. so there's no single that is tettataty— so there's no single that is certainly true— so there's no single that is certainly true . - so there's no single that is certainly true . \tijt�*t"t�* certainly true. now, that wasn't, of course, a focus of today at the inquiry because this was all about pre—pandemic preparedness, the sort of plans that were in place and how they could be therefore executed .

could be therefore executed. batus no doubt there will be a greater focus on what happened later on in the pandemic. in the other stages of this inquiry. but again, that does feed into the public perception of matt hancock and indeed potential to some of the arguments around how realistic it was to keep the united kingdom or indeed at least england, which matt hancock as health secretary, was responding sensible for under these restrictions. how practicable were they , if even practicable were they, if even those setting them failed to follow them? lots of questions surround that. and of course , surround that. and of course, this is the start of a very long process. years and years. this inquiry is expected to take without a final conclusion. perhaps for the best part of half a decade. however, there will be interim conclusions along the way through the stages of this inquiry, and that's why what we're hearing at the moment, what with what we've seen with david cameron and

george osborne and chris whitty and now matt hancock is about that first that stage that run up to the start of the pandemic . everything leading up to march . 2020 and how things were prepared. and that's been the focus today . but obviously focus today. but obviously everyone around me now and people watching at home, people thinking about who matt hancock is as a person of obviously all of that later , the activity will of that later, the activity will be at the forefront of their minds to. well, tom, for the trttreat— minds to. well, tom, for the moment, thank— minds to. well, tom, for the moment, thank you- “t:~;t well, tom, for the moment, thank you for that. vte-tt— moment, thank you for that. vte-tt teat— moment, thank you for that. we'll head back,— moment, thank you for that. we'll head back, of course, as we trttt— we'll head back, of course, as we see matt hancock emerge and see-tttse— we see matt hancock emerge and see-those bereaved- we see matt hancock emerge and see those bereaved families see what those bereaved families are see what those bereaved families tttat— see what those bereaved families tttae-say— see what those bereaved families are going.say.him.- see what those bereaved families are going say him. but are going to say to him. but tet-s— are going to say to him. but tet-s atv— are going to say to him. but let's now speak— are going to say to him. but let's now speak to someone who ttst— let's now speak to someone who ttst tts— let's now speak to someone who ttst rts vtte— let's now speak to someone who lost his wife and— let's now speak to someone who lost his wife and mother during the lost his wife and mother during tte-vtt— lost his wife and mother during the -who attended. lost his wife and mother during the who attended the the pandemic who attended the teattat. — the pandemic who attended the hearing. actually— the pandemic who attended the hearing. actually earlier. crates— hearing. actually earlier. charles persinger joining us once more. charles, thank you for once more. charles, thank you ttt-.— once more. charles, thank you ttt-. ttr— once more. charles, thank you ttt-. t-tr trst- for your time. i'm just vtatettat— for your time. i'm just wondering in- for your time. i'm just wondering in the round what ytve— wondering in the round what ytve trtte— wondering in the round what you've made of— wondering in the round what you've made of what you've heard trttr— you've made of what you've heard ttttr trttt— you've made of what you've heard from matt hancock.— you've made of what you've heard from matt hancock. does it teatttttr— from matt hancock. does it reaffirm what— from matt hancock. does it reaffirm what you already

in the last month so . as you in the last month or so. as you say, the royal colleges of nursing leader pat cullen said this news is very disappointing, though fight will continue, though the fight will continue, it's difficult to how that it's difficult to see how that fight . sue and fight will continue. sue and clearly this is good news for the government , it not least of the government, it not least of all, because an awful all, because there was an awful lot of public sympathy for nurses, though will be nurses, though many will be disappointed. as i say , by the disappointed. as i say, by the fact that they may not be seen as large a pay rise as they would like. the government, as large a pay rise as they would like. the government , the would like. the government, the department of health, saying that they usually valued the work of nurses , welcomed the work of nurses, welcomed the end of dispute . but as you say, of the dispute. but as you say, this is not the end necessarily of all strike action, because junior doctors walk junior doctors are due to walk out. demanding quite out. they're demanding quite a substantial rise . prime substantial pay rise. prime minister yesterday seemed to suggest that he's not prepared to cave in on that. we've also got unions , for example, got other unions, for example, the workers still on the rail workers still out on strike industrial strike as well. so industrial action from over, though. action is far from over, though. today's news clearly welcome news for the prime minister and he's not had much of that recently. but telling phrase recently. but a telling phrase trttr— recently. but a telling phrase from _secretary, - recently. but a telling phrase.

there's little indication that pubuc there's little indication that public sector pay is a major driver of inflation. has this been damaging for the government? it has been. but is this , as i say, a of light in this, as i say, a of light in what's been a pretty difficult couple of weeks economically for the bet it is. the government? you bet it is. darren, thanks very much indeed for darren, thanks very much indeed ttt ttat. — darren, thanks very much indeed ttt ttat. trtte— darren, thanks very much indeed for that. more of— darren, thanks very much indeed for that. more of course, teaetttr— for that. more of course, teaettta as— for that. more of course, reaction as we - for that. more of course, reaction as we get it. also ettrtat— reaction as we get it. also ettrtrt rt.— reaction as we get it. also ettrtrt rt. tte— reaction as we get it. also coming up, the latest on the treat— coming up, the latest on the nicola-inquest- coming up, the latest on the nicola-inquest .- coming up, the latest on the nicola inquest. her nicola bulley inquest. her tatrtty— nicola bulley inquest. her family—believe family saying they believe her teatt— family saying they believe heri death _ accidental. death or death was accidental. vte-tt— death or death was accidental. vte-tt tave— death or death was accidental. we'll have the— death or death was accidental. we'll have the latest from trtstte— we'll have the latest from outside the _ we'll have the latest from outside the coroner's court. �*jtit outside the coroner's court. do stay— outside the coroner's court. do stay-rs. — outside the coroner's court. do stay-rs. ttts— outside the coroner's court. do stay-rs. ttts ts— outside the coroner's court. do stay-us. this is the- outside the coroner's court. do stay-us. this is the live. stay with us. this is the live desk on

. why are food prices so high and supermarkets when wholesale pnces and supermarkets when wholesale prices and energy costs have been coming down? one thing that was referenced by those mps was sharon graham, the head of unite . she accused recently soup market bosses of engaging in grotesque, a grotesque display of profiteering . now, when that of profiteering. now, when that was raised at the supermarket, bosses said that they're the most competitive they've ever been , and they're trying to find been, and they're trying to find ways to lower prices. and we have seen now that food inflation is coming down. this is new figures from the- is new figures from the british tetatt— is new figures from the british retail consortium , the shop retail consortium, the shop trees— retail consortium, the shop prices index— retail consortium, the shop prices index that was released tttay— prices index that was released tttay satvtag— prices index that was released today showing that food tattattta — today showing that food inflation is— today showing that food inflation is starting to come ttva. — inflation is starting to come ttva. trest— inflation is starting to come down. fresh food- inflation is starting to come down. : i“ down. fresh food inflation coming down by about 2% compared to last month. so that's on things like milk , eggs and things like milk, eggs and cheese. and the chief executive of cheese. and the chief executive tt tte— cheese. and the chief executive tt tte trte— cheese. and the chief executive tt tte trte .— cheese. and the chief executive of the brc , helen— f and the chief executive of the brc , helen dickinson, of the brc, helen dickinson, sart— of the brc, helen dickinson, satt ttat— of the brc, helen dickinson, said that household will welcome the said that household will welcome tte eastag— said that household will welcome tte eastag tt— said that household will welcome the easing of shop— said that household will welcome the easing of shop price

in shock and you taking in water, you know , it does sound water, you know, it does sound like is just terrible , like this is just a terrible, tragic as the coroner tragic accident as the coroner has said. and i really hope that nicola's family get a chance now to sort of grieve and set out their lives without her. yeah, i guess that might— their lives without her. yeah, i guess that might be- their lives without her. yeah, i guess that might be very- guess that might be very iiiiisuii— guess that might be very difficult for— guess that might be very difficult for them to do that in pious,— difficult for them to do that in private, bearing— difficult for them to do that in private, bearing in mind that the interest— private, bearing in mind that the interest still— private, bearing in mind that the interest still is being shown — the interest still is being shown sui— the interest still is being shown. but ask the interest still is being shown. but-ask the shown. but can i ask you how the communio— shown. but can i ask you how the sommuuiiy iss— shown. but can i ask you how the community has-with- shown. but can i ask you how the community has with paul community has been with paul aussi— community has been with paul aussi, usi— community has been with paul ansel, her partner— community has been with paul ansel, her partner , and other ansel, her partner, and other members?— ansel, her partner, and other members? louise— ansel, her partner, and other members? louise cunningham, her sisisi— members? louise cunningham, her sisisi sui— members? louise cunningham, her sisisi out so— members? louise cunningham, her sisisi out so on?— members? louise cunningham, her sister and so on? have they been sits— sister and so on? have they been oiis io— sister and so on? have they been oiis io give— sister and so on? have they been able to give them— sister and so on? have they been able to give them support ? able to give them support? i think— able to give them support? i think sisy-vs— able to give them support? i think they've been- able to give them support? i think they've been incredibly supportive. i mean, during the investigation and afterwards, they've you know , they've been they've you know, they've been nothing but supportive toward the family. was it was early, the family. it was it was early, very early on that the police, you know, there was so much speculation the family speculation about the family and who'd had said who'd done what and who had said what. the police made it what. and the police made it very start that very clear from the start that none were under none of them were under suspicion. social media suspicion. but yet social media constant were criticising them and they said. but, i and everything they said. but, i mean, if you had a member of your family missing, you would do can to find

do everything you can to find that person. is exactly that person. and that is exactly what did , including doing what they did, including doing interviews that interviews and things like that . i can't that i would have . i can't say that i would have done any different in their situation, think that the situation, and i think that the local community have pulled out all the stops to support them through the search itself , through the search itself, through the search itself, through supporting them . young through supporting them. young people in the village have been supported. you know , sort of supported. you know, sort of with their mental health. you know, it's been it's been a big shock for everybody. and i've really do hope the local school , nicola, because the nicola bullies to two little girls is all they i mean it was heartbreaking wasn't it, to hear from from paul how they just wanted their mummy home you know, and this went on for days and days and days and having to keep explaining to those two little girls that mummy couldn't come back. i don't know what he uouii— come back. i don't know what he uouii isos— come back. i don't know what he would have said— come back. i don't know what he would have said to— f f i don't know what he would have said to them. i mean i'm would have said to them. i mean its assuming— would have said to them. i mean i'm assuming that— would have said to them. i mean i'm assuming that those little guis— i'm assuming that those little giiis musi— i'm assuming that those little girls must have— i'm assuming that those little girls must have had so much supposi— girls must have had so much suooou-iis— girls must have had so much support-the local- support from the local community. - support from the local community. support from the local- community. i think they had support from the community and

support from the community and support from the community and support from their wider family, including their grandparents and all of the family. and you know, nicky's and everybody nicky's sister and everybody around they all had around her, they all had to support and right, support them. and you're right, they these they had to like protect these little this absolute little girls amid this absolute storm . storm whilst undergoing. absolutely. you know, what is, you know , we can't possibly you know, we can't possibly understand what what paul and his family were going through at this time. it was horrendous . this time. it was horrendous. and not only were they going through this grief, fear , worry through this grief, fear, worry process, but they were also so under such scrutiny they couldn't walk along a road without a camera in their face. and it's i don't think that that will be easy to get over. yeah i mean, our our strangers still coming— i mean, our our strangers still coming io— i mean, our our strangers still coming io siss— i mean, our our strangers still coming to the area just to have a coming to the area just to have u iook— coming to the area just to have u iook oi— coming to the area just to have u iook oi in— coming to the area just to have a look at in that— coming to the area just to have a look at in that warped way iioi— a look at in that warped way iiiui psopis— a look at in that warped way that people can— a look at in that warped way that people can do all these mouiiis— that people can do all these mouiiis — that people can do all these months on. i— that people can do all these months on. c months on. i think it's possible but i don't think it's certainly once once nicola had been found then you know it all quietened down fairly quickly in the area. we certainly decided as local

media or certainly the lancashire post and the blackpool gazette that we were not going to cover anything that wasn't like a formal statement or like the inquest itself about nicky. so we've kind of left the story almost as much as we possibly could because we wanted to support the community motty in their bid to get back to normal and grieve . um, obviously normal and grieve. um, obviously we are we are local media. we are going to cover the major points of this story and continue to do so. but, you know, we want to do that. i mean, i have to say i was a ioooi— mean, i have to say i was a local newspaper— mean, i have to say i was a local newspaper reporter for a uumis— local newspaper reporter for a uumisilyssis. — local newspaper reporter for a number years. and in these number of years. and in these isuiiiy— number of years. and in these terribly tragic— number of years. and in these terribly tragic situations , it terribly tragic situations, it oiisu— terribly tragic situations, it oiisu ioss— terribly tragic situations, it often does give the family somioii— often does give the family somioii io— often does give the family comfort to actually speak to a ioooi— comfort to actually speak to a local newspaper— comfort to actually speak to a local newspaper like yours, to provisio— local newspaper like yours, to iioyiis you — local newspaper like yours, to provide you with— local newspaper like yours, to provide you with a photograph of iisii— provide you with a photograph of iisii iovsi— provide you with a photograph of their loved ones— provide you with a photograph of their loved ones and to pay iiiiuis— their loved ones and to pay iiiiuis .— their loved ones and to pay tribute . you— their loved ones and to pay tribute . you know, local tribute. you know, local ususiuisis— tribute. you know, local newspapers have a huge part to play— newspapers have a huge part to plav- _ newspapers have a huge part to iioy. vssi.— newspapers have a huge part to iioy. vssi. ani— newspapers have a huge part to play . yeah. and it's- newspapers have a huge part to play. yeah. and it's ,- newspapers have a huge part to play . / ' i: c newspapers have a huge part to play . “4s?"
