9:34 am
>> so now the mother of olivia pratt—korbel is joining the calls for criminals to face their victims in court. a year on from her daughter's awful murder. take a listen. >> it's important for the families of my personal experience writing . the impact experience writing. the impact statement was really hard. it wasn't it didn't take minutes . wasn't it didn't take minutes. it was days over a matter of weeks . um, and it's important weeks. um, and it's important for the offenders to listen to the pain that they've caused , the pain that they've caused, the pain that they've caused, the pain that is ongoing. my whatsername of going to prison is supposed to be a rehabilitation . that first port rehabilitation. that first port of call of rehabilitation should be in that courtroom .
9:35 am
be in that courtroom. >> if you remember olivia was shot in the home as a criminal, ran through the house with a gun one evening in pursuit of somebody else. well awful story. let's cross live to westminster now where gb news political editor chris ryhope has more on this story. what's been the developments , chris, since developments, chris, since yesterday ? well the government's yesterday? well the government's been looking for a while, hasn't it, bev, to try and make criminals face the music, face their sentence and face their victims and listen to those harrowing victim impact statements , which lucy letby statements, which lucy letby didn't do yesterday . didn't do yesterday. >> instead, she get sent them in prison because she refused to come out from cells. there's come out from the cells. there's new measures in in the new measures coming in in the king's . that's when the king's speech. that's when the government sets out its plans for laws over the next for laws over the over the next penod for laws over the over the next period before the election. it's going attached to the going to be attached to the crime and justice bill. it measures to which will allow judges explicit powers to order criminals to attend sentencing in handcuffs if necessary. pfison in handcuffs if necessary. prison officers can use reasonable force . this will be
9:36 am
reasonable force. this will be set out in law. the judges can even bring in experts to assess whether the prisoner is allowed or should be allowed for their own mental health or whatever to stay below decks below the court. the idea is to try and put victims front and centre put the victims front and centre of it's not of this process so it's not beyond time . labour, of course, beyond time. labour, of course, correctly saying why has it correctly been saying why has it taken so long? the government says, well, there's competing priorities you're priorities if you're in government. think the government. but i think the letby conviction yesterday has brought this into sharp focus . letby conviction yesterday has brought this into sharp focus. i think we'll get some think finally we'll get some action here from the ministry of justice. chris there's been an awful don't mind me awful lot, if you don't mind me using hand—wringing using expression, hand—wringing over are they going to over this, how are they going to possibly the guilty possibly get the guilty person into the dock? >> what they there's >> what if they protest? there's a range of options. they could use a taser on them. they're legal. they're legal in the war against crime. why why is the government and has the government, if you don't mind , government, if you don't mind, taking quite so long? because it appears to me this is all appears to me that this is all about humouring the guilty person rather than honouring the wishes of the families of the
9:37 am
victims . well certainly in any victims. well certainly in any of these cases, the victims should be at the centre of it. >> what after someone's been convicted, is how they how they can get some kind of closure to use that dreadful american word of happened . alex schalk, of what's happened. alex schalk, the justice secretary, has been trying since this spring to do this to amend this. he tried to amend something called the victims and prisoners was told by prisoners bill. he was told by lawyers government lawyers, that was out of scope of that legislation. to come legislation. so he had to come to the next one often with legislation. andrew, well legislation. andrew, as you well know, like sausage know, it's like a sausage machine. have try and machine. you have to try and latch to something goes latch on to something as it goes through measure through and make that measure become way. they've now become law that way. they've now got vehicle. lining become law that way. they've now gotin vehicle. lining become law that way. they've now gotin the ahicle. lining become law that way. they've now gotin the king's lining become law that way. they've now gotin the king's speech..ining become law that way. they've now gotin the king's speech. ifing become law that way. they've now gotin the king's speech. if the up in the king's speech. if the amendments can't be attached to the the the crime and justice bill, the government bring in a government then will bring in a standalone of legislation. standalone piece of legislation. as we heard from keir starmer just yesterday , labour are quite just yesterday, labour are quite clear they would support it so it wouldn't be a political row, it wouldn't be a political row, it wouldn't be a political row, it would go through pretty quickly on the quickly and it should be on the statute books by next summer. >> extent , chris, do you >> to what extent, chris, do you think this case has forced the
9:38 am
government's hand in this regard? because there will be parents like olivia pratt—korbel mother and father who are saying, well, this should have happened a long ago now happened a long time ago now you're just reacting to public opinion . but i think you make opinion. but i think you make a very good point there. >> i think there is a sense that the government has allowed this to slip, but i think there is an attempt they recognise the attempt now they recognise the angen attempt now they recognise the anger, this case. attempt now they recognise the an�*course, this case. attempt now they recognise the an�*course, these this case. attempt now they recognise the an�*course, these theseis case. attempt now they recognise the an�*course, these these charges of course, these these charges go back 2015, against go back into 2015, 2016 against letby . and so they weren't sure letby. and so they weren't sure when it was going to what was going to happen. it wasn't really clear she wouldn't come up there's a feeling really clear she wouldn't come up there's there's a feeling really clear she wouldn't come up there's a there's a feeling really clear she wouldn't come up there's a describedfeeling really clear she wouldn't come up there's a described to ling really clear she wouldn't come up there's a described to me that there's a described to me as copycat erg in the sense that when thomas cashman didn't attend the sentencing of olivia pratt—korbel, you saw her mother there on your clip there giving very, very painful and difficult statement to you on camera there and in a sense, they want to nip this in the bud. it hasn't been an issue really until now. and they wanted to stop any future
9:39 am
serious cases, convicted criminals, from doing this. the problem they've got is in the most serious cases of which letby is definitely one, they have got a sanction to give to two years more on the jail sentence for contempt of court. but if you're serving multiple life sentences, if you will never see the light of day again, letby can't be given that. so they're trying find that. so they're trying to find ways to deal with ways and measures to deal with it. and also, i should say also, there's measure to these there's a third measure to these plans would would plans that they would they would allow also to order allow the judge also to order the removal of a convicted criminal from court if they're using their presence to intimidate or to mock the victim. so it goes both ways. the point is to give explicit powers to judges take action. powers to judges to take action. >> very briefly , chris, >> just very briefly, chris, could judges also to could the judges also say to that person who's refusing to go into than into court rather than physically at the physically force them up at the point a taser? right. you're point of a taser? right. you're going lose your visiting going to lose your visiting rights, all sorts of privileges can you that can disappear. do you think that will be included in whatever alex to take to alex chalk is going to take to the in king's speech ? >> 7- >> it's 7_ >> it's early ? >> it's early days and 7 >> it's early days and we're still two months out from the
9:40 am
queen's speech on november the 7th. certainly they are looking at some measures like robert buckland news said last buckland on gb news said last week, into week, why can't they pipe into the ? the judge's comments, the cell? the judge's comments, the cell? the judge's comments, the victim impact statements. of course, if that happened, then the criminal would try and block it off or or make noise or trying to trying to almost so they couldn't hear what was being said to them. but there are are measures like that are there are measures like that that can looked the that can be looked at. the government quite clear. they government is quite clear. they i last that they i was told last night that they want the french model want to look at the french model in this doesn't happen. in france. this doesn't happen. so they're take the so they're trying to take the idea the french. it's idea from the french. it's nothing with rights. nothing to do with human rights. it's basically a way of forcing people do wrong to face the people who do wrong to face the music i that anyone music. and i think that anyone really across the political spectrum would applaud that. >> gb news, >> okay. thanks, chris. gb news, political editor there. christopher hope i'm still i still can't practically see how you can manhandle someone into court . court. >> i do very easily. you taser them, but they're refusing. but them, but they're refusing. but the taser them, you you put them in handcuffs , you put them in, in handcuffs, you put them in, they get them into court. they get them out of the police . they
9:41 am
get them out of the police. they get them out of the police. they get them out of the police. they get them out of prison. they get them the police van, of them into the police van, out of them into the police van, out of the into into the police van, into court, into the police van, into court, into the box. is it so the witness box. why is it so difficult why is sentencing difficult and why is sentencing being separately to being treated separately to the rest of a trial? it's an rest of a of a trial? it's an integral part of and it integral part of it, and it should same. but should be treated the same. but i you're putting that i guess you're putting that system would put a prison officer at risk of potential violence . violence. >> it's all very well, if it's they are every day if it's lucy letby, but if it's a six foot four. >> so there are four prison officers in violence, though, can't it, against people who are working to keep prisoners? justice has to be seen to be done. and no more so than by the victims of murder. done. and no more so than by the victims of murder . jurors and victims of murder. jurors and rapists like lucy letby. they have to be it has to be seen to be done. >> let us know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com now joining us dr. amanda who us next is dr. amanda lee, who is neonatal nurse and is a former neonatal nurse and senior in adult nursing senior lecturer in adult nursing . good morning. you described the life of a neonatal nurse as emotion , highly charged, complex emotion, highly charged, complex , but also a privilege . it's , but also a privilege. it's quite shocking, really, isn't
9:42 am
it, the way in which lucy letby abused that privilege . abused that privilege. i absolutely agree . absolutely agree. >> i'm personally i'm absolutely appalled by what i've read and what i've heard about lucy letby about the whole trial. um i'm old enough probably to remember the days of her counterpart as well. beverley allitt . and you well. beverley allitt. and you know , this shocks the whole know, this shocks the whole profession to a core nursing is about establishing trust with the community, with the public, with everybody . um, and i think with everybody. um, and i think we're all reeling from what's gone on, what's shocking us a lot as well. >> amanda and it shouldn't i suppose, but when you look at photographs of her, she is the picture of innocence. everybody talks about what a sweet natured woman she was. we even know in her home she had lots of teddy bears on her bed. all these photographs of children making it all the more shocking for us, but more so for the
9:43 am
but much more so for the families of the babies she murdered and attacked . murdered and attacked. >> i think the thing that you need to realise when you're a neonatal nurse and when you're working in those sorts of areas , you sit day after day, after day at a bedside with parents and their little cherished loved ones, and you establish such relationships . what you do at relationships. what you do at home, you it's, i don't, i don't know. but what i would say is that you're trying to establish those relationships. the trust and the compassion that you have for those babies is there . and i for those babies is there. and i don't understand how anything to don't understand how anything to do with home would would would affect anything. i don't know. having teddies on bed is having teddies on your bed is not any not going to make any difference. 33 year old woman difference. a 33 year old woman with teddies her bed. i'd be with teddies on her bed. i'd be wondering that's slightly wondering that that's slightly different in itself. i don't know . know. >> part of the job. amanda is for a neonatal nurse will sit by
9:44 am
the bed of the baby. that's sick , looking for signs, looking for a deteriorate , looking maybe for a deteriorate, looking maybe for an improvement. so they can, as part of their job, is to try and get them better . that's right. get them better. that's right. >> and you have to look for the smallest of cues. so i remember sitting by a bedside with a few of the babies that i've looked after and you look for little cues like a little tiny wince, a tiny drop in blood pressure finger splaying different behavioural cues as well that really alert you to signs of deterioration . and in many in deterioration. and in many in many ways , you know, you have many ways, you know, you have this relationship with the consultants and the medics on the ward as well where you can sort of say, i'm not happy with that baby. and you that that baby. and you know that when neonatal pretty when a neonatal nurse is pretty established and knows what they're you they're talking about, you believe and, you believe those nurses and, you know that they've picked up on some these minor some sort of these minor cues that's on. that's going on. >> and amanda, just because it's difficult, if we don't have a sort of clinical understanding of that setting and how these babies died and how is it
9:45 am
possible ? well, and this is this possible? well, and this is this sounds like a naive question, but how is it possible to know that it was deliberate murder as opposed to medical negligence of just not being good at your job? just not being good at yourjob? what's the what's the line there 7 what's the what's the line there ? you're watched your your work as a team . as a team. >> um, you know, when i started neonatal nursing, i wasn't on my own for a long time. i had to do post—registration postgraduate qualifications and courses . um, qualifications and courses. um, you've got people overseeing you all the time. and then even when i moved to becoming an advanced neonatal nurse practitioner, you know, there were working know, there were we were working as team , everybody around as a team, everybody was around mistakes as in any walk of life can be made. but you learn to identify those mistakes, work on them, and, and, and act accordingly. we all work under the nursing and midwifery council. we have a code of conduct and we have to offer that professional competence is to be able to deliver the care that we want.
9:46 am
>> so how was she missed then? >> so how was she missed then? >> if she was being watched so closely and working a team, closely and working as a team, who the ball in who else dropped the ball in that environment and didn't have an eye on her? >> i don't think it's for me to start looking at apportioning any blame to anybody, and i can bet your bottom dollar that every single member of that nursing team and the medics and everybody be asking exactly everybody will be asking exactly that question. >> we i've got no answer . okay. >> we i've got no answer. okay. >> we i've got no answer. okay. >> all right. dr. amanda , thanks >> all right. dr. amanda, thanks for joining us, former neonatal nurse. and of course, senior lecturer in senior lecturer. of course, that's going to be part of the inquiry because, of course, we know that doctors who were watching suspected her. were watching her suspected her. they alarm and they they raised the alarm and they were off by the were told to back off by the managers who were not medical. and that was after three children babies, had died. children had babies, had died. it was only four more had it was only when four more had died they got the police. >> yeah, well, former liberal democrat baker democrat minister norman baker joins studio. good joins us in the studio. good morning. morning, norman. morning. good morning, norman. just on case just your thoughts on this case really overall? just your thoughts on this case reaiwell,erall? just your thoughts on this case reaiwell, there's always going >> well, there's always going to be girls whose be individual girls whose behaviour reprehensible,
9:47 am
behaviour is reprehensible, inexplicable, sadistic , inexplicable, sadistic, psychopathic. these people occur , fortunately, very many of them in society . so the issue is not in society. so the issue is not can we stop those people arising because they will arise? the issue is how is their action in identifying quickly to prevent the sort of systemic problems which have been caused in this particular case? and there are clearly serious questions for the management at the hospital. we know that doctors and others reported continually concerns about this particular person and nothing was done. and i've forgotten who it was. now, one of the former mps of one of my former colleagues suggested there should be issues of whether or not the hospital management is guilty of corporate manslaughter. yeah, so. 50. >> so. >> so this would then into what sort of inquiry do we get? norman the government says there is sunak is to be one rishi sunak preferred option is not a statutory one because it will be quicker. but if it's a statutory one, it'll be led by a judge who will have the power to compel witnesses who i think are and i
9:48 am
think they should that think they should do that because some of because they can compel some of those said no to because they can compel some of thordoctor said no to because they can compel some of thordoctor and said no to because they can compel some of thordoctor and consultants.o to because they can compel some of thordoctor and consultants. we the doctor and consultants. we don't want to pursue this. they should be in that inquiry. >> that. >> i totally agree with that. and say , i'm i'm well and i have to say, i'm i'm well aware of the limitations of a non—statutory inquiry. that was what we had with lord hutton and the death of david kelly. yes and we had key witnesses not called there. we had nobody under oath. the whole thing was called there. we had nobody uldisgrace. the whole thing was a disgrace. >> to adisgrace. » to a disgrace. >> to people who may >> just to remind people who may not that was in not remember that was in relation the war. relation to the iraq war. >> that the iraq war. david >> that was the iraq war. david kelly, the weapons inspector, was found on harrowdown hill, dead. was found on harrowdown hill, dead . you would normally have dead. you would normally have a coroner's inquest actually just he would he had been identified as the source of a bbc report suggesting that the government, in the form of alastair campbell, had sexed up the dossier, making the case for war. so rather than the coroner's on coroner's inquest on that particular a particular occasion, which is a statutory a statutory process, we had a non—statutory inquiry which actually time actually spent most of the time looking had done looking at what the bbc had done rather anything else. so these non—statutory inquiries, frankly, aren't worth time frankly, aren't worth the time that take. you either. that they take. you either. don't bother or you have a
9:49 am
proper inquiry and actually it's okay prime minister, say okay for the prime minister, say speed is of the essence. >> no, isn't the essence here speed is of the essence. >:the», isn't the essence here speed is of the essence. >:the facts.1't the essence here speed is of the essence. >:the facts. the1e essence here speed is of the essence. >:the facts. the truth;ence here speed is of the essence. >:the facts. the truth .nce here speed is of the essence. >:the facts. the truth . we here speed is of the essence. >:the facts. the truth . we want is the facts. the truth. we want to get to the bottom of it. we want to know if these managers thought the reputational damage to more to the hospital was more important than potentially getting nurse of getting a killer nurse out of the way. >> we see e we see and again >> well, we see time and again that management, looser that that management, looser sense very keen to protect sense is very keen to protect reputations of institutions . reputations of institutions. look at the catholic church and the whole issue of child sexual abuse years where the abuse over the years where the reputation church reputation of the church apparently the apparently came ahead of the children were being abused. children who were being abused. a statutory inquiry did not take years. it's not sunday. yeah, exactly. it could be done in 3 or 4 months. >> yeah. can i ask you, as a former lib dem, you be former lib dem, you might be taking a bev turner view here because bev and i are disagreeing this. i would disagreeing about this. i would have in court come have the person in court come what may. so i. who is what may. so would i. who is convicted. guilty and who convicted. how guilty and who cares you them ? cares how you get them? >> got he's got them in >> he's got he's got them in a hannibal lecter if hannibal lecter tasered if necessary if they are there as a part a legal proper process part of a legal proper process in a democracy. >> see, they've been charged to have to court. was
9:50 am
have been taken to court. was the sentencing been separated from exactly. they're from it? exactly. they're required to be taken to court to hear charge and to appear. required to be taken to court to hethey charge and to appear. required to be taken to court to hethey don'trge and to appear. required to be taken to court to hethey don't appear, to appear. required to be taken to court to hethey don't appear, they're ar. if they don't appear, they're taken and they taken there by force and they should be there hear the should be there to hear the sentence , whatever it is. and sentence, whatever it is. and i've got no sympathy with the idea excuse escape idea that they can excuse escape in cell . and we see the in their cell. and we see the front pages of the paper today, the from the parents the horror from the parents about want it to feel about i don't want it to feel like i'm being liberal than like i'm being more liberal than the democrat, but what? the liberal democrat, but what? >> dem. well >> he's still a lib dem. well yes, a lib dem. yes, ex—mp still a lib dem. >> but what how do you do that? because you're asking. you're basically going to be asking prison officers to manhandle. >> will they do that all the time? >> they do. they do it in prison all the time. when people freeze to come out of cells to go to come out of their cells to go to come out of their cells to go to they're going to, to wherever they're going to, but them into but then taking them into a court situation, which is calm and reverential, somebody that might the might be railing against the system intention is to system is the intention is to make this better for the victim and victim's family. and the victim's family. >> but if that perpetrator, then stands court and uses that stands up in court and uses that opportunity shout opportunity to shout at the victim victim's family victim or the victim's family saying, i would do again, saying, i would do it again, i have that doesn't
9:51 am

legislation to be introduced. finally find plea in the king's speech. this is a gb news exclusive from our political ednon exclusive from our political editor, chris hope. >> that's right. this is, of course, because lucy letby, a neonatal nurse, refused to face the families in court yesterday where she was multiple where she was handed a multiple , multiple sentences and , multiple life sentences and branded a coward for remaining in her cell. >> well, joining us now is a consultant, forensic psychologist , consultant, forensic psychologist, dr. keri nixon. dr. nixon , morning to you . none dr. nixon, morning to you. none of us can really understand what was going on in lucy letby head. but if this woman was on your psychologist couch, what would you be asking her? >> i think that's a really important question and something that i've been seeing over the last couple of days. and i think we really need to be cautious is many so—called experts diagnosing lucy letby from afar when actually they're not very qualified to do so. and when you have an offender that comes into a prison or a psychiatric hospital , a prison or a psychiatric hospital, and i've worked in both of those environments , and
10:07 am
both of those environments, and particularly in offenders committed an act like this, there will be a long process involved . there'll be clinical involved. there'll be clinical interview. there'll be review of lots of documentation. there'll be tests and we be psychometric tests and we then do something called a formulation where we try to understand background understand all the background risk factors and what has led her to do what she's done and that will be a long process and it needs to be done by qualified people. so i think when people are from their are diagnosing her from their sofa television, sofa and talking on television, it's dangerous. are it's really quite dangerous. are her acts yes are her acts her acts evil? yes are her acts potentially psychopathic? yes. but we need to do that analysis before we can make that conclusion. so is it a bit simplistic, kerry, when the people saying, you know, she had a stable home, that doesn't appear to be any history of drug abuse or addiction or the kind of co—morbidities that you might think would sit alongside somebody that behaves in this psychopath like way. >> you're saying that it could be something else . what if we're be something else. what if we're not the product of our environment? what could it be
10:08 am
that would make somebody do this ? >> 7- >> she ? >> she still could be the product of environment because lots of things can go wrong. i've worked with with offenders that you know, i'd say that have had, you know, i'd say it's the majority of it's rare the majority of offenders i work with have had a very background. very difficult background. however, offenders however, there are offenders that have what looks like a very good, loving home. sometimes it can be that there's lots of control and that can lead to issues that can be personality disorder . and yes, there are disorder. and yes, there are genetic factors . so we do have genetic factors. so we do have people that , you know, there's people that, you know, there's the genetic factors and then the environment brings those those factors out. so this is what we need to explore. what was going on for her, what's been happening in her lifetime, what was happening when she was young. you know, all these factors. we know that she was ill and that was what ill as a child and that was what led her to want to be a neonatal nurse. so many things to unpick and explore. and we've got to be really careful how we do that . really careful how we do that. >> what be the purpose >> and what would be the purpose of because normally of that? because normally if somebody it's for
10:09 am
somebody in therapy, it's for their own good and there'll be people watching this saying, well , doesn't deserve to well, she doesn't deserve to understand what did, let her understand what she did, let her rot in her own psychosis, if you like. let her continue to be depressed and suicidal. don't help her understand her actions . what would you say to that ? . what would you say to that? >> i'd say actually , let's think >> i'd say actually, let's think about the victims here and the victims family. yes. she's going to be serving a whole life order. i think that was order. and i think that was really the right decision. however if that can be explored , applaud. and she then gives some answers that may help the families understand it's never going to give them the closure, as many of them have said, but it might give them some understanding as as to why. because that is the question that sends so many victims and their family is crazy is why did this happen? >> but if she is given if she's if she's talking to people like you, dr. nixon , in prison, she's you, dr. nixon, in prison, she's going to spend a lot of time in
10:10 am
solitary, i'm sure, for her own safety. how will that information she relays, if she ever does open up as to why she did it, will that will that information get to the information ever get to the families as potentially there are, you know, victim liaison officers? >> it may be. i'd hope so. in a case like this, often the information flow is difficult . information flow is difficult. obviously, when an offender is going to be released from prison, if it's a serious offender, the families are informed that most of the time , informed that most of the time, sometimes there's errors in that . but obviously she's not going to be she's going to spend her life in prison. >> so would would she have to consent to that information? would have to because would she have to say because the relationship between the psychologist the patient, psychologist and the patient, the client, if you like , is the client, if you like, is sacred and privacy underpins that relationship . so to break that relationship. so to break that relationship. so to break that trust , would she have to that trust, would she have to give her consent ? give her consent? >> oh, absolutely. when i'm talking about information, i'm not talking about the information that goes on between a psychologist and the offender thatis
10:11 am
a psychologist and the offender that is patient confidentiality. however there are it depends . i however there are it depends. i mean, she's going to be in prison. so it's slightly different compared to prison and psychiatric hospitals. but yes , psychiatric hospitals. but yes, the information that's shared between a patient and their psychologist confidential, psychologist is confidential, the judge said in the summing up , which, of course, she wasn't there , that evil . there, that she is evil. >> you've read a lot about this doctor nixon, and you've talked to lots of people, as you say, whether it's in hospital or hospital or prison. is even hospital or prison. is she even , view ? , in your view? >> i always pause when answering that question about anybody because as a psychologist, i don't like to say that a person is evil. the acts are evil. what they've done is evil. um but i have met offenders in my in my career that have that that aura of just absolute pure evil . of just absolute pure evil. well, in this case, i've not assessed her. i've not met her. the acts are so despicable evil.
10:12 am
i mean, babies and completely innocent babies . and to then innocent babies. and to then look families in the eyes after you've committed that type of crime, that act is evil. but i stop at the point of saying that anybody is inherently evil. >> all right. fascinating stuff. thank you, dr. kerry nixon there, consultant , forensic there, consultant, forensic psychologist . you see, that's psychologist. you see, that's where i'm not. okay with the prisoner having rights . i'm very prisoner having rights. i'm very happy for her to have the therapy to get to the bottom of it. but i don't think she should be allowed the confidentiality. i don't think she should have the keep that the right to keep that information from families. >> i'm sorry. don't think >> i'm sorry. i don't think she's at all. she's got any rights at all. i take a very hard line. interesting reading again into this. terrible this. of course, it's terrible about babies who were about the seven babies who were killed. of the other babies killed. some of the other babies she attacked ten others, paraplegic , because what she did paraplegic, because what she did to them so bad enough, the parents have all the guilt. but did we do enough? they have a paraplegic child on their hands because of what this woman did to their baby. >> and course, they're now
10:13 am
>> and of course, they're now investigations into dozens more cases, i believe that cases, hundreds. i believe that she might have worked on where babies lives were lost. now, former criminal and family law barrister and author helen fields joins us now. hi, helen . fields joins us now. hi, helen. good morning. good morning. can can you help? i don't have any audio. >> i don't know whether you can hear us or not. >> can you hear me? okay. we'll try and get helen back and we'll we'll have a look at what you've been saying this morning, because been because i know you've been getting involved in this. certainly want i certainly why we i want to i want find out from helen what want to find out from helen what this issue we've been this this issue we've been discussing. get discussing. how would you get people you people into court? how could you physically that? people into court? how could you phythisly that? people into court? how could you phythis is that? people into court? how could you phythis is an that? people into court? how could you phythis is an email here from >> this is an email here from john who says, i agree with you, andrew. lucy letby should have been into court. she's been dragged into court. she's lucky . years ago, the public lucky. years ago, the public would have strung her up the would have strung her up to the nearest tree. >> well , nearest tree. >> well, derek from dunfermline has said, can you imagine the impact on victims if the accused reacts saying la la la la, reacts by saying la la la la, shouting, laughing or sneering, you cannot force i contact you cannot force to listen in
10:14 am
cannot force them to listen in in the court, but you can force them into court and they we're trying to get to the bottom of when this because we've when this started because we've only become vaguely aware of it in the last year or so. >> of prisoners criminalising refusing. >> yeah. they're convicted . >> yeah. they're convicted. they're going to be hauled into court to be sentenced. they may have to face witness statements which are a relatively new phenomenon in themselves. they're there to influence they're not there to influence the the judge makes his the judge. the judge makes his or decision themselves. it's or her decision themselves. it's to allow the family really to have is so have their say, which is so important. so when did when did it start the jeff from leicester says norman baker's wrong. it's not part of our democracy for offenders to attend sentencing . offenders to attend sentencing. it's absolutely nothing to do with democracy . well, that's with democracy. well, that's jeff leicester's view. yeah jeff from leicester's view. yeah >> and another jeff said you missed the excellent point made by lady who drafted the by the lady who drafted the victim statement was victim statement and this was olivia mother olivia pratt—korbel mother earlier. the criminal justice earlier. if the criminal justice system rehabilitation , system is about rehabilitation, then rehabilitation with then rehabilitation starts with facing your sentence and hearing the victim statements. that is a
10:15 am
really good point. and actually it could be that, as we've just heard from that forensic psychologist that therapeutic psychologist in that therapeutic situation where they're trying to work why she did this, to work out why she did this, maybe that's where could maybe that's where she could be prevented at least. statement at least. >> also, course, >> and also, of course, sometimes the perpetrator of a hideous crime meets the victim's families in prison to talk about it, because that can be therapeutic for the families. >> richard tice on your side, take the prisoner into court like hannibal lecter. >> yeah, because hannibal lecter was a monster , a fictional monster. >> this is a real monster. i'm sorry . sorry. >> she's a monster character from silence of the lambs. of course. we're to going talk course. now we're to going talk to helen fields. we have actually managed to correct that line for criminal family line for a criminal and family law and now author. law barrister and now author. hi, can you help us hi, helen. can you help us out with you with this? how could you physically see get a criminal into the court to listen to their hearing without them causing violence or disruption ? causing violence or disruption? >> well, you know, i mean, there's already been talk that they can be handcuffed . that's they can be handcuffed. that's they can be handcuffed. that's the proposal, isn't it? and so i
10:16 am
think reality is that there think the reality is that there is a maximum amount of force that could possibly be used . and that could possibly be used. and i think all people who are convicted should have it explained to them that this is part of the process that they will go through as soon as they go into the criminal justice system and handcuffing and removing people from cells is obviously an option. the problem is that prison guards have to stop short of using force that could either really injure a prisoner or in fact, become a danger to those prison guards. there's more than just the prisoner to think about. there and then they will have to be brought into court. but of course, the other option is that we prisoners that we explain to prisoners that if they their they do not attend their heanngs they do not attend their hearings , that they will have hearings, that they will have certain privileges lost to them inside of prison . and this is inside of prison. and this is part of what they're expected to go through. and that might be something that we should think about. >> helen, see what the >> helen, i can't see what the problem be for prison problem would be for prison officers used officers who are used to deploying as our police deploying tasers as our police
10:17 am
officers. if there's a problem with the guilty party, remember, they are now guilty. they have been convicted by a jury. 12 people have convicted this person of tasering them to get them into court because that would subdue them . would subdue them. >> it would subdue them. but tasering is a last resort because it can cause all sorts of additional problems , not of additional problems, not least occasionally cardiac problems, that sort of thing. and we must be very careful about asking prison guards to actually inflict harm on people because that becomes very distressing for the prison guards and it becomes very difficult . and quite often difficult. and quite often people pass out when they're tasered or need additional time to recover. so that may not be the ideal, but to be quite honest with you, making this a normal part of our system, making this something whereby we have to prisoners, look, have to say to prisoners, look, you're going to attend court, that's the expectation. if you you're going to attend court, th.not, he expectation. if you you're going to attend court, th.not, you xpectation. if you you're going to attend court, th.not, you willtation. if you you're going to attend court, th.not, you will lose. . if you you're going to attend court, th.not, you will lose. youyou you're going to attend court, th.not, you will lose. you know, do not, you will lose. you know, you lose privileges for you will lose privileges for most prisoners. it doesn't apply here because is a whole here because this is a whole life order. most prisoners are keen to behave well because
10:18 am
otherwise they lose the prospect of early release and so on. and so there are things we can do . so there are things we can do. there are, you know, systems that we can set in order. but i think asking prison guards to knowingly , potentially hurt knowingly, potentially hurt people and there are ramifications from that. i completely understand the sentiment which is that we should have these people in court, but come what may. but it has to be a really carefully considered system first. that doesn't put too much pressure on our prison. >> you've been a family law barrister. you've also you're also an author, helen, have you ever , in your experience, come ever, in your experience, come across a case quite like this one? >> i've never dealt with a case this terrible. i think the reality , the facts speak for reality, the facts speak for themselves. there are very few barristers in england and wales who have dealt with a case like this. i have dealt with a case that's involved munchausen's syndrome by proxy. these are incredibly difficult cases because the psychology of this is not terribly specific and it

looks different. you know, sometimes with each person that you deal with. >> helen just explain what that is and why that might be relevant in this situation. >> so much like the beverley allitt case, which was the last nurse who was convicted of hurting people . munchausen by hurting people. munchausen by proxy is when somebody hurts someone else in order to get attention back to themselves . attention back to themselves. you know, there's a little bit of hero syndrome sometimes in there, sometimes it's just about, you know, somebody feeling completely lost and needing to get the attention of authorities a loved one a authorities or a loved one or a boyfriend or something like that. in this case, there that. and in this case, there were clear examples of letby wanting to get the attention for example, of a married doctor , example, of a married doctor, you know, wanting to have those those that that contact where she was reassured and told that she was reassured and told that she was reassured and told that she was a good nurse and it wasn't her fault . of course, we wasn't her fault. of course, we don't know how far back this goes. and obviously now there are looking at lots goes. and obviously now there another looking at lots goes. and obviously now there another incidents.)king at lots goes. and obviously now there another incidents. it'sg at lots goes. and obviously now there another incidents. it's prior ots of other incidents. it's prior to those that were involved in this so whether or not
10:20 am
this case. and so whether or not this case. and so whether or not this was all just about getting attention, know. attention, we don't know. because this goes back much because if this goes back much earlier , then there might be earlier, then there might be something different in the background here. >> thank you. helen fields >> okay. thank you. helen fields there, former criminal family law barrister and author. >> we missed a trick with the psychologist. what must be going through minds of these through the minds of these parents were at court every parents who were at court every day for nine months as an older couple, perhaps older little older parents to be well , i older parents to be well, i think the mother was only mid 60. she she looked older. but you would that process would age you. yes it would, wouldn't it? >> and have to remember this >> and we have to remember this family have living with family have been living with this crimes this for years. these crimes were between 2015 and 2016. so were between 2015 and 2016. so we were we were just contemplating how lucy letby appeared emotionless. well, she's had of time to get she's had a lot of time to get used this 6 or years to get used to this 6 or 7 years to get used to this 6 or 7 years to get used the fact that was used to the fact that this was this was down the line. this was coming down the line. that explain a little bit that might explain a little bit of but of her emotional reaction, but devastating of her emotional reaction, but devistating of her emotional reaction, but devi mean, who must wake up >> i mean, who must wake up every day and think, what did we what did wrong with our what did we do wrong with our child? she's monster.
10:21 am
child? because she's a monster. >> well, imagine they might be >> well, i imagine they might be the parents still the kind of parents who still believe that she's innocent at this stage probably keep believe that she's innocent at this going. probably keep you going. >> to come, sorry you going. >> now, still to come, sorry to tell you, dover on red alert. guess what? hundreds more. a record migrants record number of migrants crossed channel yesterday crossed the channel yesterday with gb news. britain's news channel. >> the temperature's rising. boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> good morning . alex deakin >> good morning. alex deakin here with your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. another pretty warm one in the south. once the morning mist and low cloud has cleared away there more away further north there is more cloud yesterday we're cloud than yesterday and we're going few more showers going to see a few more showers as parts of northern as well. parts of northern england, wales and central england, north wales and central and southern certainly and southern scotland. certainly and southern scotland. certainly a day compared to a wetter day compared to yesterday . a few showers still yesterday. a few showers still across northwest scotland , but across northwest scotland, but generally the showers will fade. so turning drier come the so turning a bit drier come the afternoon . the winds easing. afternoon. the winds easing. that quite breezy this that is quite breezy this morning. too many showers morning. not too many showers over midlands south over the midlands or south wales. many places here and across england staying

10:27 am
yesterday. it comes as the think tank, >> it comes as the think tank, the leaning think tank, the the left leaning think tank, the institute public policy institute for public policy research, warned the government's action government's lack of action failure should say actually on migration creating what's migration risks creating what's being called perma backlog . being called a perma backlog. >> let's get more analysis from our political correspondent olivia a perma backlog. olivia utley a perma backlog. what does that mean? >> so essentially the problem at the moment is we've got 130,000 migrants awaiting their fate, whatever that might be. so obviously the government would like to see them sent to rwanda. that isn't happening yet. their fate, 130,000. >> just to be clear, these are the these are who the ones these are people who are already in tessa are already here in tessa jowell, already here in barges, costing taxpayer £5 million costing the taxpayer £5 million a and the average waiting a day and the average waiting time to get your case heard. >> if you are a migrant who's come to britain illegally, is 450 days. so these people are here for sort of often. well over a year. and what the ipp is pointing out today, i mean , it pointing out today, i mean, it doesn't take much to point this out really , is that the rwanda out really, is that the rwanda scheme, even if it works as
10:28 am
planned , and that's a big even planned, and that's a big even if because at the moment it's still not yet through the courts and we haven't yet seen a single migrant being sent to rwanda as labour pointed more labour have pointed out, more conservative secretaries conservative home secretaries have been rwanda than than have been to rwanda than than actual and even if that actual migrants and even if that actually comes to fruition , even actually comes to fruition, even by the government's very, very optimist calculations, they could be sending 500 migrants to rwanda every month. but of course, we've had 800 migrants crossing the channel on monday. i mean, yes, that was that was the worst day we've had so far. but if during the summer months, we're migrants coming we're seeing 500 migrants coming a obviously there are a day, then obviously there are migrants here fast there migrants coming here fast there than we are sending them off to rwanda. government rwanda. even if the government scheme the ipp scheme works. and what the ipp have calculated is that at the moment housing for migrants is costing the taxpayer £3.5 billion a year, as if rwanda comes off and the government manages to send 500 migrants a month to rwanda , it will raise . month to rwanda, it will raise. to £5 billion a year in the next few years. and if, as the ipp thinks is quite likely, the
10:29 am
rwanda scheme doesn't work quite as the government is intending, and they only manage to send, say, to rwanda every say, 50 migrants to rwanda every month, then we can expect that bill to be £6 billion. >> astonishing. it's an abject failure, isn't it? and we had the prime minister yesterday admitting it, didn't this is admitting it, didn't he? this is one of his five pledges. can anybody remember the others? something halving something to do was halving inflation. going to inflation. he ain't going to stop by the next stop the boats by the next election. well, well, that's stop the boats by the next electi

10:43 am
way, don't you think? >> we can. yeah. >> well, yes, we can. yeah. mason greenwood, manchester united. this is. united. so go on. so this is. this kid was accused this is the kid who was accused of sexual impropriety , of sexual impropriety, impropriety in some way , didn't impropriety in some way, didn't get the charges were dropped by by the accuser, who i think was a partner of his. but he's lost his job anyway at man united. >> yeah. so on the surface of it, it sounds unfair, but these were serious charges , attempted were serious charges, attempted rape, coercive behaviour or assault, actual bodily harm. so so they weren't minor charges, but they were dropped. he was never actually convicted of anything. however there. what, what manchet and united are saying is there's more to this than meets the eye. right. so that they've talked to him and by mutual consent they've decided it would be a bad idea for him to carry on playing for the club. >> there a video which >> there was a video which cast him very, very bad. him in a very, very bad. >> the video videos, the other point. i mean, quite simply point. but i mean, quite simply , have zero tolerance to , if you have zero tolerance to this kind behaviour , it this kind of behaviour, it doesn't matter about the charges or whatever. it be quite or whatever. it would be quite right that they would part
10:44 am
company. what do you think? >> this reflects pretty company. what do you think? >> on this reflects pretty company. what do you think? >> on manchesters pretty poorly on manchester united though, more though, because they were more than reintegrate him than ready to reintegrate him into squad and they were into the squad and they were happy that. they you know, happy to do that. they you know, goal all care goal scoring is all they care about, really. the sponsorship . about, really. the sponsorship. and the fact that it's and the fact is that it's pressure from women's groups, from have from campaigners that have i think, prevented them from from reintegrating him. >> yeah, this always >> yeah, because this always happenedin >> yeah, because this always happened in the last couple of days pressure days didn't it? the pressure overwhelmed days didn't it? the pressure overwheerhe charges have been >> okay. the charges have been dropped. read some of dropped. but if you read some of the text messages, the exchange between greenwood this between mason greenwood and this young lady, pretty, he was bullying her. pretty appalling. yeah yeah. violent. >> and they are role models. >> and they are role models. >> she recorded some audio, didn't she ? didn't she? >> she recorded audio. and >> she recorded some audio. and there pictures of facial there are pictures of facial bruising and injury and things like that. i don't think like that. so i don't think manchester united come out of this well. the charges this very well. but the charges have been dropped and footballers incredible role footballers are incredible role models, rightly wrongly. models, rightly or wrongly. >> i think why models, rightly or wrongly. >> clubs i think why models, rightly or wrongly. >> clubs should1ink why models, rightly or wrongly. >> clubs should have why models, rightly or wrongly. >> clubs should have a why models, rightly or wrongly. >> clubs should have a zerorhy the clubs should have a zero tolerance approach to any kind of behaviour like this . and of behaviour like this. and again, what is sort of reading between the lines here, because
10:45 am
we don't know exactly what the conversation was between mason greenwood and manchester united, but somewhere along that way they obviously both decided parting the ways was probably the best bet. so who gives him anotherjob? another job? >> bearing in anotherjob? >> bearing in mind no charges, but whatever it went on was deemed as so damaging for manchester united's brand he can't play again. yeah. will he go to saudi arabia where they don't care about things like that? >> well, it may well be that that'll future because that'll be his future because it's see how an english it's hard to see how an english club, major english club, club, a major english club, could him another job based could give him anotherjob based on this. >> wonder, because >> i wonder, though, because he's only 21 and these things die down quite quickly, given that no, you know, die down quite quickly, given thatcharges no, you know, die down quite quickly, given thatcharges were 0, you know, die down quite quickly, given thatcharges were dropped, ow, the charges were dropped, i reckon in a year or two, english clubs will come in for him. do you i think you really? he's only, i think he'll he'll go away. >> play somewhere >> he'll play somewhere else. they'll, they'll say oh he's grown he's learned grown up now, he's learned the error of his ways and he'll probably come back. yeah right. the biggest story that's on the front the papers, front pages of all the papers, nigel letby should she nigel lucy letby should she have had into court yesterday had to go into court yesterday to hear her sentencing and if so, how do you make that happen
10:46 am

11:07 am
have a defendant or a convicted criminal coming into court and then making a noise or trying to inqu then making a noise or trying to insult his victims or insult the court process . court process. >> so there's a limit to what you can do. but what the government is trying to do here is explicitly state in law what judges and the powers they've got. hope they can got. the hope is they can embolden to be quite embolden judges to be quite almost with guards and almost bossy with guards and say, look, if they're saying they can't come up for whatever reason, i want to see them in their handcuffs, them their handcuffs, i want them to reasonable get them reasonable force to get them into the dock. it's been quite a recent issue since the sentencing there of thomas cashman over over the murder of olivia pratt—korbel . since then, olivia pratt—korbel. since then, it's been more concerning in government that criminals have been trying to take the mickey out of the justice process. that's why it's an attempt to give judges is almost the confidence with some form of legal mechanism to make sure they can enforce or try and enforce offenders to come upstairs. course, they upstairs. of course, if they abuse can order them abuse that, they can order them downstairs it's downstairs again. but it's trying more trying to give them a bit more a bit more power for these judges.
11:08 am
>> chris, i can remember i wrote about this in the mail some months there was a great months ago. there was a great letter in the times from son letter in the times from a son of high court who of a former high court judge who just said it was very clear his father took simple view if the father took a simple view if the solicitor to say, my solicitor dared to say, my client's not coming for client's not coming up for sentencing, he'd he is and sentencing, he'd say he is and he'll coming up. chained with he'll be coming up. chained with with officers, prison with police officers, prison officers truncheons officers armed with truncheons as times changed. but as times have changed. but perhaps they've changed for the for wrong way. for the wrong way. >> yeah, i think that's right. i mean, they say there's a degree of copy. copy qatar to use the term i was given last night from other other serious criminals. you can be found in contempt of court by not turning up and get two more years added to your sentence. that makes no difference of letby, difference in the case of letby, who's got multiple life sentences. attempt at sentences. so it's an attempt at bringing ferguson, bringing back the ferguson, which should the which it should be on the victims. those heart rending victims. those heart rending victim statements read victim impact statements read out yesterday were were out in court yesterday were were not by lucy letby. they not heard by lucy letby. they will be sent to her so she can read them. but would she read them? idea of course, them? another idea of course, they're beaming in
11:09 am
they're looking at is beaming in they're looking at is beaming in the comments the judge or the comments from the judge or from victim from the victim impact statements into the cells statements into into the cells below so these below the court. so these criminals hear what's criminals have to hear what's being of course, they can being said. of course, they can then take action, maybe block their or try and muffle the their ears or try and muffle the speakers in those cells. so it's not easy, but it's really important. i think the government, government, you know, not before time is doing something about it. they they're talking about doing something back spring and didn't back in the spring and it didn't happen. they're happen. so finally they're getting act in getting getting their act in order. it's really exercising. >> people watching and >> people view watching this and listening the radio because listening on the radio because this is a classic email from paul who they should paul who says they should decorate, walls of decorate, decorate the walls of let be cell with the words of the victims statements the the victims statements and the judge's comments. it's an interesting idea, isn't it ? interesting idea, isn't it? >> yeah, totally. i mean, this this case has been different in the sense we don't know the names of the victims. they're all they're in an alphabet soup of letters, aren't they? so in a sense that the kind of face of these poor babies who were murdered coming out from newspapers pictures, we newspapers and the pictures, we haven't it makes it haven't got that. so it makes it almost important that
11:10 am
almost doubly important that letby up to her letby is meant to face up to her actions properly because in a sense, anonymity of the sense, the anonymity of the victims is totally understandable. but it mustn't be allowed to lessen the impact of her crimes. >> chris i'm interested in that phrase you used. copy cattery because i think that probably answers something that andrew because i think that probably ansvlzrs something that andrew because i think that probably anva have mething that andrew because i think that probably anva have been ng that andrew because i think that probably anva have been debating ndrew because i think that probably anva have been debating thisw and i have been debating this morning when this trend morning as to when this trend started happen in of started to happen in of criminals just saying, no, started to happen in of criminals just saying , no, i'm criminals just saying, no, i'm not going to go and listen to my sentence. is it a recent phenomenon? that's right. it is i >> -- >> it is law lam >> it is recent. i say they can trace it back to the sentencing there of thomas cashman in and it just i think the government is quite keen nip this in the is quite keen to nip this in the bud and be explicitly clear that judges have the power to take judges do have the power to take action do it for action and they can do it for example, if a convicted criminal refuses to come upstairs , they refuses to come upstairs, they can order in experts to assess them, to give prison officers, officers comfort that they can be brought upstairs and face the music. it's really important. i think anyone, anyone who's been a victim of crime will know this
11:11 am
if you need to have them facing the consequence of their action. and also hear the impact on victims, it's really important that seen be done that justice is seen to be done in case. all right. in this case. all right. >> thank you, news >> okay. thank you, gb news political editor christopher hope westminster. hope there at westminster. >> us now, of >> well, joining us now, of course patrick course, is a very patrick christys who's to talk christys who's here to talk about his make killers face real justice campaign. morning patrick. >> good morning, both of you. thank you very much for having me on. me on. >> me on. >> so what are you up to? what are you trying to achieve? >> absolutely. well, look, >> yeah, absolutely. well, look, it this morning it heartened me this morning when i saw choppers exclusive about politicians saying that they're to they're actually going to do something one something about this. the one problem don't believe something about this. the one probleand don't believe something about this. the one probleand don'tdon't believe something about this. the one probleand don't believe lieve something about this. the one probleand don't believe them them. and don't believe them because they've not done anything yet. that is anything about it yet. that is why want keep the why we want to keep up the people's pressure from the people's to people's channel. go to gbnews.com forward slash justice gb news.com forward slash justice as nearly gbnews.com forward slash justice as nearly 20,000 people as already nearly 20,000 people have. this petition is less than 24 hours old. what we want to do is make . oh, i think we've had is make. oh, i think we've had heanngs is make. oh, i think we've had hearings and people are talking
11:12 am
about aren't they people talk about aren't they people talk about what are the practical implications of all this? implications of all of this? well is actually very easily well it is actually very easily done. could drag them up done. you could drag them up there. you could beam it into their cells. could them their cells. you could put them into soundproof booth. you into a soundproof booth. you could booth with could put that booth with mirrored so that they mirrored glass so that they can't then impact on the court proceeding. you could threaten to whatever privileges proceeding. you could threaten to may whatever privileges proceeding. you could threaten to may well'hatever privileges proceeding. you could threaten to may well have'er privileges proceeding. you could threaten to may well have whilstileges proceeding. you could threaten to may well have whilst inges they may well have whilst in prison. so for lucy letby, for example, she will at some point wants to have contact with the outside she some outside world. she will at some point want have a phone call point want to have a phone call . cetera. you can actually . et cetera. you can actually take away from her if take all that away from her if she doesn't attend. it's she doesn't attend. so it's gbnews.com forward slash gb news.com forward slash justice. gbnews.com forward slash justice. but can i just also outline some of the utter rhiannon jones who haven't outline some of the utter rhiann upjones who haven't outline some of the utter rhiann up aties who haven't outline some of the utter rhiann up at coui'lio haven't outline some of the utter rhiann up at court for aven't outline some of the utter rhiann up at court for the1't outline some of the utter rhiann up at court for the final turned up at court for the final days of their sentencing ? we've days of their sentencing? we've got lucy letby murdered seven babies, is now going to spend the rest of her life in a cushy pink coloured prison, never having heard the victim impact statements. thomas cashman shot and killed nine year old olivia pratt—korbel own he pratt—korbel in her own home. he is a gangland professional prison will be like a holiday camp koci selamaj
11:13 am
camp for that koci selamaj killed schoolteacher sabina nessa in cold blood in a park as she walked home. levi bellfield he wants to get married in prison now . and indeed, he's prison now. and indeed, he's going to have photographs of his wedding taken. he's writing books prison does bother books. prison does not bother these the only thing these people. the only thing that would bother them is facing up consequences what up to the consequences of what they've done. the impact they've done. the human impact statements of what they've done. and i defer to the relatives of zara. aleena and ellie edwards , zara. aleena and ellie edwards, who i spoke to in the last couple of days, who both said to me, reading their impact me, reading their victim impact statements to the killers would have been the absolute bit of justice that they could have got left . and so we are trying to left. and so we are trying to force that through gbnews.com forward slash justice. >> so for you, patrick, is it about the victims and about giving the victims some more closure or is it about wanting to inflict more punishment, if you like, on the criminal? so it's both really now primarily it's both really now primarily it is about the victim and the victim impact statements.
11:14 am
>> and therefore, i think anyone would say it's reasonable that in some cases , as the relatives in some cases, as the relatives of the victim may well not want to see that individual in court. therefore, i think it should be entirely up to them. that's a very reasonable way of doing it. in that case, you could obviously beam those statements down into their cells, as has already been discussed. but the other for is, you've other thing for me is, as you've said, having more of an said, about having more of an impact the perpetrator, impact on the perpetrator, there's two reasons me why there's two reasons for me why an individual would to an individual would not want to attend court. is cowardice . attend court. one is cowardice. so they don't want to hear the impact of their crimes and their sentence read down them. the sentence read down to them. the other one is it's the last little bit of power that they have situation . it's the have in this situation. it's the last little bit control that last little bit of control that they that situation and they have in that situation and want remove that power and want to remove that power and control those people . and i control from those people. and i don't not don't want them. they were not cowards. were not scared, cowards. they were not scared, were they were going were they, when they were going around babies? they around murdering babies? they were when they were were not scared when they were going around attacking lone women, a women, vulnerable women in a park, know ruining people's park, you know, ruining people's lives. weren't they weren't lives. they weren't they weren't so then. so they should so scared then. so they should
11:15 am
be made to front to this. be made to front up to this. >> patrick, i completely agree. why should these vile, evil killers, any right killers, rapists have any right to dictate anything goes to dictate anything that goes on in sentencing hearing ? they in the sentencing hearing? they have whatsoever . have no rights whatsoever. >> 100% mean there is a school of thought, though it's not necessarily the most popular school thought. but there is school of thought. but there is a thought says a school of thought that says that, know, if you go around that, you know, if you go around murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others and by way, this story could and by the way, this story could end getting you know, end up getting worse, you know, the still looking the police are still looking into things here. then you into other things here. then you may human rights to may lose your human rights to an extent. human right extent. and if that human right is being dragged to is about you being dragged to court, screaming, i court, kicking and screaming, i think something that think that is something that people just people would favour. just another this, the another option on this, by the way, is the moment way, quickly, is at the moment the judges do have power the the judges do have power and the prison governors have the prison governors do have the power to do it. but the fear comes, which i completely understand, comes from understand, the fear comes from prison want understand, the fear comes from priend want understand, the fear comes from priend up want understand, the fear comes from priend up on want understand, the fear comes from priend up on the want understand, the fear comes from priend up on the wrong want understand, the fear comes from priend up on the wrong side1t understand, the fear comes from priend up on the wrong side of to end up on the wrong side of the law themselves by overstepping grey of overstepping that grey area of reasonable force. i would also just like to politely remind ourselves about why are we possibly ended up here with lucy
11:16 am
letby. doctors were reporting her and saying we think she's killing babies and a fear of air culture, a fear of people themselves trying to do the right thing and ending up on the wrong side of the law is arguably one reason why she was allowed to keep killing babies for long period of when for a long period of time. when it to the prison officers it comes to the prison officers , need to remove fear , we need to remove the fear that officers would have that prison officers would have about that about overstepping that reasonable force line and protect and let them get protect them and let them get people to court . people to court. >> patrick, good luck with the campaign . that's our gb news campaign. that's our gb news presenter christie just presenter patrick christie just to remind us, patrick, where do they how they find the petition? >> good stuff. so it's gbnews.com forward slash gb news.com forward slash justice. gbnews.com forward slash justice. so far, nearly 20,000 people have done it. i'll keep you updated on my show. three till about what the next till 6 pm. about what the next steps this petition are going steps in this petition are going to do not the to be. do not trust the politicians to just do this. make voices heard. let's make your voices heard. let's force through. force it through. >> thanks. patrick >> okay. thanks. patrick christie now come, yeah christie now still to come, yeah , and it's a very worthy noble. >> you're not going sign it, >> you're not going to sign it, are you? >> i will sign it because i

11:23 am
>> elizabeth elizabeth has an interesting idea. just her interesting idea. just put her interesting idea. just put her in wheeler into in a cage and wheeler into court. elizabeth, you and i, we're agreeing. >> i just. and. and john says, beware, gb news a man has been released after serving 17 years in prison , having been wrongly in prison, having been wrongly convicted . and the media should convicted. and the media should take note of this when pushing for any sort of capital punishment or even forcing people into courts who perhaps have a reason to object. >> i'm not pushing for capital punishment because just because there have many there have been so many miscarriages of justice and i don't just just taser him in the corridor or taser in the corridor or taser him in the corridor. also, we need to corridor. and also, we need to find out, in my view, why she did it. well linda says, i love andrew. >> what a better the uk >> what a better place the uk would if he was in charge . would be if he was in charge. >> linda , that's very kind of >> linda, that's very kind of you . i think i'm >> linda, that's very kind of you. i think i'm proving to be right wing even for bev turner is a bit worrying really. >> well, as i've been saying, i just see the just want to see the practicalities of this and where the focus should be. should the focus not be on the victims at that on the that point rather than on the perpetrator. do you have perpetrator. bev, do you have
11:24 am
any what prison officers any idea what prison officers have through every day? have to go through every day? you're says it you're talking nonsense, says it is their job. >> they have to get rough, rough men women into prison cells. men and women into prison cells. and don't know how they do and we don't know how they do it, but they do it every day. >> and you're all you're >> yeah. and you're all you're all giving me a very hard time about this. bev worried about this. bev seems worried about this. bev seems worried about taken about the prisoner being taken into court for a serial killer or anyone. a danger to themselves why not themselves or others. why not use hannibal lecter trolley use the hannibal lecter trolley straitjacket and mask? >> he was a monster. she's monster. >> we seem to forget that a convicted criminal loses privileges and respect the moment are convicted. moment they are convicted. >> i still think could >> and i still think they could have her, you're not have said to her, you're not going into court, my dear. right. then you're never going to. you're having no visiting rights year. i'm very rights for a year. well i'm very happy with punishments, happy with stricter punishments, which live out the which they have to live out the term those punishments. term of those punishments. >> crazy when >> it drives me crazy when victor, criminals victor, and when criminals are put prison for ten years put into prison for ten years and serve six or something like that. i'm not okay with. right. so moving on now, the windsor framework, we're not talking about while. we're about this for a while. we're meant answer all problems meant to answer all the problems around trade.
11:25 am
around around post—brexit trade. but on they're still very but months on they're still very little clarity. is all to little clarity. this is all to do with northern ireland, if you recall. >> no detail has been given to many businesses and the grace penod many businesses and the grace period for goods coming into northern ireland, which of course the course is still part of the single market, to an end on single market, come to an end on the 1st of october. >> so dougie beattie breaks down the brexit trade row the the latest brexit trade row the ports of northern ireland are a lifeline to its economy and the transport industry is under real pressure due to the lack of procedure information around the framework document . framework document. >> all but a small amount of goods arrive and depart by hgvs on the sea and within the last few weeks some northern ireland containers have been stopped in britain and customs documents are being requested by john martin of the road hauliers association , is frustrated by association, is frustrated by the lack of clarity . the lack of clarity. >> if this product moving from northern ireland. the government
11:26 am
probably wants to see if it's northern irish product or eu product. so it would appear that they want to assess the goods to see if they're northern irish or eu. we have been lobbying government from day one, asking them how they're going to manage eu product coming through northern ireland to gb and they've refused to answer the question. >> lord says that the >> lord keen says that the framework document creates unfair fettered access between northern ireland and britain . northern ireland and britain. >> but i'm very clear that the windsor framework enshrined unfettered access for goods travelling from northern ireland into great britain and indeed the uk internal market act enshrines in law unfettered access from ni to gb. >> jim allister is a unionist politics person but also a kc and believes that under the framework , a border between framework, a border between northern ireland and great britain can not be avoided because northern ireland is a prohibit from having any checks on goods coming from the
11:27 am
republic. >> and that's where article 55 of the protocol expressly says you cannot check quantitatively goods coming from the eu into northern ireland. the only place you then can check them if you want to protect the rest of the uk market from being flooded is in gb and thereby if you build not just the irish sea border for goods from gb to northern ireland, but you build it effectively in gb for goods coming from within northern ireland to gb. it is a preposterous situation . ian. preposterous situation. ian. >> it now appears that there are problems both ways and peter burke, the republic of ireland's minister for european affairs , minister for european affairs, insists there is clear guidance i >> -- >> but it depends on the type of goods. there's a very clear chart of different types of goods that need paperwork and there's goods that are there's goods that obviously are more higher risk than others. but framework provides the but the framework provides the pathway for any issues that come forward in relation to the passage of goods over and back from the or the uk .
11:28 am
from the eu or the uk. >> small retailers will face the largest problems , especially on largest problems, especially on stock levels. northern ireland's supply chain is known as just in time. the very size of the population here means that coal storage for long periods of time is not financial viable . plans is not financial viable. plans are now well underway to bypass britain and go directly to the eu to avoid the issues with labelling and green and red lanes. and this will push up pnces lanes. and this will push up prices and is causing political problems as both the secretary of state and mp sammy wilson seem to be on totally different pages. >> the windsor framework was agreed and therefore as night as night follows day, the executive should be up and running . should be up and running. >> but anybody that knows northern ireland politics knew that was going to take some time. >> what it does show is that all of the promises made by the prime minister in the house of
11:29 am
commons simply a tissue of commons were simply a tissue of lies . in effect, he said this lies. in effect, he said this would do away with any border in the irish sea, the border in the irish sea is reinforced it. he said that it would sort out the problems of the protocol and economic life in northern ireland. could be restored and we could be part of the uk single market. the barriers are higher and what amazes me is that there is an intolerance in the house of commons to prime minister's telling lies. as we saw with the treatment of boris johnson . these are the biggest johnson. these are the biggest set of lies that one could possibly have told to the house of commons. yet it it's there are some lies appear to be acceptable because nobody wants to scrutinise and dig down deep as to the actual effect of the windsor framework. dougie beattie . gb news belfast . beattie. gb news belfast. >> now we're going to be talking in just a moment about the lionesses who arrived back in

11:40 am
