a huge number of areas so here in south africa it's business and politics going together under hand somewhat a decade ago skeptics were looking at the brakes and they couldn't really pinpoint the purpose of the block as they viewed the united states as the sort of hub nation that would bring smaller economies together well now what is happening the aggressive stance toward trade in washington is scaring and is causing concern among businesses and among emerging markets and so ironically now they turn towards bricks. some six hundred migrants have managed to jump a border fence separating the spanish totally of soter and morocco and that's after they fought off patrol officials with makeshift flame throwers molto of cocktails that led to chaotic scenes on the border. it was the it was it was. the

news the british home secretary has commissioned a study into the profiles of child abuse is among the characteristics to be considered is the country of origin of the perpetrators my fissures have been working with investigating offices in relevant cases to establish the particular characteristics and contexts associated with this type of offending we're looking at what this data set can tell us about characteristics of offenders victims and the way the context of abuse all of which have a critical bearing on the effective targeting of prevention activity. child grooming scandals that are a topic that have attracted a great deal of emotion control a c. and debates in the u.k. public and media as well rather on rossdale bristol peterborough the list is endless and will be familiar to many here in the u.k. this is the first time though that many would say a government in office indeed the home secretary in office has ordered an investigation specifically into the ethnicity of the racial background of both the victims and the perpetrators involved in these crimes it's not the first time
4:39 pm
investigations have happened it's not the first time the issue's been raised just last year in fact a labor m.p. and former minister sarah champion wrote an article in a paper in which she unequivocally condemned pakistani grooming gangs and said the issue must be debated openly and honestly the backlash she received the criticism she received from many quarters in the end caused her to resign from her position and indeed received death threats after which she had to receive extra police protection what strikes me about this whole debate is that we've reached a point in this country and possibly in the west where we can't really talk in a relaxed way about race so this would write something which a lot of people would say is a statement of the bleeding obvious and ends up losing the job now the media and public outcry has stemmed from the understanding that a sense of missed place political correctness of fear of offending of racial backlash of stoking ethnic and community tensions had previously prevented law

enforcement social services and local government from taking the necessary action to stop and prevent these horrific crimes i think there was a culture of not wanting to rock the multicultural community bode if i may put it like that this has also come from the horse's mouth just quite a number of years ago there was a police report released under the freedom of information act in which the police themselves had said often there was a very lucky that it's a hesitancy to take the necessary action because precisely of the stone. of racial or ethnic tensions over the years the discussion about the racial ethnic background of perpetrators and victims of these crimes and that specific link has been quite to boot it's been discussed with a great hesitancy or been confined perhaps to the margins of the political spectrum now though with the home secretary's investigation given of course sergeant javal himself has pakistani roots that discussion seems to be going more mainstream

earlier we heard from david kirton education spokesperson for the u.k. independence party he believes this move by the u.k. home office is long overdue. this is something that needs to be dealt with and it needs to be dealt with with brutal honesty it's good that saudi job it has commissioned this report but honestly this is something that should have happened twenty years ago because it's been going on for at least twenty years people have known about it in various arms of the state it's being covered up but more importantly people have been afraid to talk about it because of the culture of political correctness and the adherence to multiculturalism which in this particular case clearly has not worked. a mass protest has been held at the headquarters of the un relief and works agency for palestine refugees in gaza it comes amid news of a large number of layoffs as a result of the u.s.
