cooper told the commons there's no excuse for anyone not to take such crimes seriously. >> ten years ago, two reports by alexis jay and louise casey in rotherham found that 1400 children were sexually exploited, raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked across other towns, abducted, beaten, threatened with guns. even children who had been doused in petrol. girls as young as 11 who were raped and their reports identified. then a decade ago, a failure to confront pakistani heritage gangs and, quote, a widespread perception that they should downplay the ethnic dimensions. >> in other news, police say a man's body has been recovered from an area of flooding in nonh from an area of flooding in north yorkshire. police believe the man may have entered the water in the last 24 to 48 hours. the man is described as white in his early 50s to 60s with short brown hair, and he
5:03 am
was wearing a multi—coloured knitted jumper. well, that's his. two major incidents have been declared and more than 100 people have been rescued as floodwater. inundates, lincolnshire and leicestershire. yellow warnings for snow and ice are in effect across large parts of the uk, as flooding and snow caused delays on the roads and railways, and forced hundreds of schools to close . and canadian schools to close. and canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau prime minister justin trudeau has announced his resignation. trudeau has faced growing pressure from inside his governing liberal party after a surge in support for the opposition conservatives in the polls. the 53 year old steps down after nine years in office, and he says he'll step down as soon as his party choose a replacement for him. trudeau says that although he's a fighter, the parliament he's serving is paralysed under his leadership. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. now it's time for headliners. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning

5:05 am
starmer and finally the daily star. you want some ice with that? well, those are the front pages. let's have a closer look at those. we will start with the tuesday's express. leo. >> so it says starmer out of touch on rape gang scandal. and another headline bears defecate in the woods. starmer has handled this so badly. he said calls for a grooming gang inquiry are far right or far right, as he says it. >> he certainly said they were jumping onto a far right bandwagon, didn't they? that the far right have created this momentum and that ordinary politicians are trying to latch on to it? >> yeah. i don't really understand why keir starmer is trying to do advertising for the far right. he's making them sound like the only sensible people in the uk. they're apparently they're the only people who want an inquiry into the grooming gang scandal. it's an idiotic thing to say. it's reminiscent of how he how he handled the southport massacre when he when he came out and said the people upset about it and angry about it were just expressing far right thuggery, which is an absolute nonsense. people were furious then and are
5:06 am
furious now. >> i completely agree. and the weird thing is he's actually on the immigration. for instance, he quite deftly turned that back against the tories and said there had been an experiment in open borders and it had failed, and labour would now try and mop up that mess. why has he not done this with the grooming gangs? the tories have been in power for 14 years, completely and abjectly failed to do what should have been absolutely core to their mission. and instead he's saying no, we're carrying on with their policy. >> i think he's surrounded by left wing advisers who he's in an echo chamber of his own making. and if you look at yvette cooper, she handled it much better. you know, she came out and said, no, we need to focus, you know? she acknowledged that the crimes were horrific and they needed to be dealt with. and they're going to focus on protecting girls in the future instead of protecting institutions, which is exactly what needed to be said. exactly what needed to be said. exactly what starmer should have said instead of protecting jess phillips. >> keri, you've been dealt the bum hand of having to defend the rape gangs. >> now, i didn't, i didn't know that's how this works. >> really? >> really? >> yes, it's an ofcom regulation. we have to try and
5:07 am
keep balanced. >> yvette cooper has highlighted 1400 victims just from rotherham and you've got to remember, these are all multiple victims. it's not just like one crime each. >> this is this has happened over and over again. this is horrifying. and what's odd i'm just going to throw this out here at the top of the daily express, as we shouldn't be so relaxed about gratuitous violence we observe every day on our screens. so this is such a trivial thing, you know, it reminds me of the metoo thing if you think this was all going on dunng you think this was all going on during whilst this huge campaign across social media, that which was some of it very valid, but still a man using an inappropriate word in a workplace. and meanwhile , workplace. and meanwhile, thousands, tens of thousands of girls in this country have been through this horror show where they were put in situations that were so endemic in the area that they couldn't even escape from it because they get into a taxi and the same would happen again, and the same would happen again, and they wouldn't have starring roles in hollywood movies at the end of it either. >> you know, which is, you know, part of the metoo deal, wasn't it? >> yes. totally. totally. there's no there's no. but also
5:08 am
it's just the bandwagon starmer is talking about is a massive bandwagon then because there's, you know, to frame this as far right is so offensive to a large number of people in this country who just want answers, they want to know. and i don't know, i don't know how much of this has been mendacious from the from people on the right who are trying to make a bigger deal of a thing, whether it's much smaller than it is or whether it's the biggest scandal we've ever had in this country. and we need to know. we need to know what is really going on and when. when starmer is saying his business about how when he was pubuc business about how when he was public prosecutor, he dealt with this like that's the whole point is he was implicated. so if he's totally innocent or not, he he doesn't. it's not a case of i am now prime minister. i'm making this decision. it's a case of i was involved in all of this. so therefore he is not the person to be saying whether whether there should be an inquiry or not. >> want an inquiry to clear his name. >> exactly. that's the point. i mean, he he is the person to be calling an inquiry or not, and his ministers can advise him on that. but it would be much more sensible to 1523 00:08:
