6:34 am
accounting or errors that i thought was suspicious. so i see your, you have a duty of care to tell the banks that have been lending the business money ah, of any concerns you have. so i went to our b. s. who were the lead to bank of 5 banks that lent money to trex over the years? are they were the agent effectively and i met with them. i explained that that as a, as a non accountant, i was just concerned with historically codes. and all i want, what i wanted to do the right and proper thing to do was to bring in some specialist forensic accountants to audit and review are the past years the codes. so i informed the bank, i told them what i was then going to do about it. they agreed to that. and i, within 24 hours of that i b. s. had suddenly brought in these restructuring specialists who business didn't need restructure to refinance. or we anything there
6:35 am
was a historical problem. ah, but within that 24 hour period, another 24 hours passed. and then i find that the business is basically being lever up into pushed into this thing called g l g, the global restructuring group. and when i created this repeatedly, i was repeatedly told or so we structuring unit, it's like an intensive care unit where we're here to help. we will support the business. we will continue to support the management of the business and told us this potential issue is reviewed and that was just a complete lie. ah, georgi is function was not to restructure or to support or to help the management and employees of all of our business as i, as i later find me
6:36 am
clever restructuring group as part of ob, yes, it basically came into being in a by october 2008, just off today at the bay, lights were fast announced, and it was a re re spray of an existing organization within our b. s corps, specialized lending services. but essentially became a vast depository for tens of thousands of business customers of yes, many of which had done absolutely nothing wrong. and many of which were credit worthy, profitable, viable companies,
6:37 am
which were pushing that through machiavellian means. so companies were told, this was a part of the bang which was going to help nurture them back to health. it was like an accident and emergency ward of a hospital. they were informed that it was on that side. it was that to help to get them out of their problems and then they could be put back into the normal banking relationship with their existing relation managers. but in reality it was absolutely nothing of the sort. g g was essentially more like an avatar or a slaughter house that was that to cover up the these businesses to enable us to extract the maximum amount of value possible from these po, businesses that ended up in that part of our b. s. mm oh my relationship with the bank of scotland went
6:38 am
back to the 1900 seventy's when i started to become successful with the baby c. and i think the way that these things normally come about is your accountant says all of this, a really good bank manager and the bank manager recommends a good solicit to, you know, that sort of thing. and i had a great relationship with the bank of scotland and it was built on trust. and you trusted the bank manager because he was the person who signed your possible application. he was the pillar of the local community. i never assumed that my popularity would continue. i never assumed the bbc would keep offering the shows. so when in the mid eighties, i got the opportunity to earn some money. at one of my 1st labs which was flying helicopters, i then set off the helicopter company helicopter management. and that was the beginning of unique vh one. we moved into providing brokerage management of

aircraft, including private jets, things wasn't making a fortune, but it made money. fight in the 80s, i was probably earning a pound doing corporate work for every pound. i made the b c. and this was the beginning of unique group. at the time, i just thought as we became more pressure from the bank that we were doing something wrong in the end, i thought it was my c o, who's been a friend of mine for 15 years. godfather, one of my daughters i, i thought it was his incompetence. i couldn't believe that we were having problems with the bank because we were not breaching covenants. we were operating always within the agreed facility. but of course, now i realize we were groomed if got you,
6:40 am
these people have got you. i think broadly, the full, what does a company that was a totally viable company? the bank would offer them alone. the company would go on, it would pay back the money, it was, everything is interest. and then the bank would suddenly called in a very, very short notice and not even allow some of the companies to pay back the money which they had. they would then immediately put that in value into a company value of the company as a fraction of what it was really worth. they put in their, in insolvency practitioners. they would send the sell the company off a fall this and it was worth. and then gave for the personal guarantees of this for the company, kaiser's financial survival guide. when customers go buy,

6:50 am
the specs actually own with a variable because he had no idea what it was and a figure would be whatever they produced. there was no way that you would be able to quantify or calculate that figure because you needed a degree and almost astrophysics debbie. what we do falling curves in trends in the math. none of us are not on tape of us. we wanted to do this one. what do you think it would be better to have a full scale review that sales process to ensure that actually the many customers who are complaining feel there is a real form of regress. those are unforgivable situations. a card to customer testimony and face value, that's the one that has to be fixed and and prescribed. i'm
6:51 am

6:53 am
who we have had thousands of businesses coming to the m p. 's trying to deal with the speed on the back of things like r b s. s global restructuring group. i'm obviously the h fall threading fraud is a much more extreme example of, of this kind of misconduct. but still essentially what we've identified between all the financial institutions, where perhaps they were trying to pull in loans quite quickly in order to recapitalize the banks that conduct fell by the wayside. ah,
6:54 am
so you push a small business over the h pushes me right to the edge, bankruptcy and i was picking myself up again. and when at corporate level they came off to me under my personal guarantee. and they took me right to the edge of a high call action when they knew at the highest level of hbo lloyd's, they knew i was actually the victim of criminal behavior. and then you start to see that when the management, the senior management want to get heavy and get their result april in these dirty people.
6:55 am
i would like to think the financial conduct or thought is on top of this. but they have known about this for a very long time and not much seems to be done. and i think they have slipped up badly. is the protection of whistleblowers who simply are not protected? we have new system to protect the so bless properly. and the whistleblowers be made rapidly redundant and people are very frightening. they'll verify the losing that pensions if they go on making a fuss. r b s orchestrated to key things one my suspension. ah, despite me being the whistleblower and and to the put in place their own nominated effectively shadow directors which in itself is improper and under illegal and in not in that period. ah, not only did the punish me for blowing the whistle to them,
6:56 am
but i also blew the whistle to the london stock exchange. the city of london police, the cds fraud office, because there was a counting, normally when no beginning to look as if they were potentially fraudulent and criminal. so so i then became a protected person as a whistleblower, as designated by the director of the sea destroyed office and the head of economic claims that city of london police are basic north was legal protections and kept me on suspension for 4 months during which they effectively took control of the business through the shadow directors. they then put in their own advisors, thrown consultants, and within 4 months, ah, the put the company into ministration. and then the asset strip that and sold the assets to service a bocce fund who are notorious in new york has been the lender of last resort. and the buyer of last resort for, for a total price,

including all advisors fees of $204400000.00 pounds, 4 months earlier i was sitting on eat, offers from eat the biggest technology funds in the planet for in excess of 600000000 pounds, so the allegation is, is that between r b s and service, they stole 400000000 in, in making an unjust gain to the loss of my shareholders born told us employees and suppliers a my son, his name i oh,
6:58 am
lou. lou. it's about doing a walk around with a hole in the can. it was over to one of the my be my calendar. i'm all she will not the one 0. 1 for months, the u, as in the u. k. of warner, russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable to bangalore,

saxon powers, talk of war. russia talks about security. ah, the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources, but he cannot mclee it's still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries for modern devices like electric cars, mobile phones and computers. 60 percent of the world's cobalt reserves are in congo . 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. units have figures confirm that in 2017. more than $40000.00 children worked in cobalt mining in the republic to earn a living and pay for schooling. next time you use a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera laptop, and just remember that there's a chance it works thanks to a child hard labor children like john michelle henry at all countless others like them
7:00 am
live all that never was the west. the media is left with egg on its face after a flurry of predictions that that be an invasion of ukraine today. instead, russian troops returning to base off to wrapping up drills of the holdup. but some cancelling stuff banging the drums of war. the u. s. president for one who's insisting that the threat of an attack remains very rail with uncertainty over ukraine, pushing up energy prices, germans fear a shortage in electricity supplies could lead to nationwide blackouts. we hear that concern if our politicians continue to act like they do in their foreign policy with russia and other countries, blackouts may happen. the problem is politicians are afraid of not being alights and if they do something wrong, it is hard and crucial about the price of natural and transfer. their data needs to be more support.
