that's to the most attention. it will continue obvious now to the olympics because as we know, the fate of the c metal, the gold that rush one last week not, you know, not even last week, weeks ago, almost. that's still a balance, because when he was part of that team, of course, will be monitoring the story very closely. yeah, sure, the saga will continue. it's been a bitter, but sweet. i'd say, for the russians on the ice. thanks, alexia lexie. how ships speaking to was that from beijing? thank you for watching 7 30 in the evening here. moscow will have more and half. ah, [000:00:00;00] with

bring you the very latest every out the day. this is our national fun, everyone here with, [000:00:00;00]

with ah. ah i

will be the same when i go somewhere with black. what telephone the civil recount i saw oh for the morning you know me about it. i was no, i believe there you will be it was just our family home. tiny,

tiny village that held out? no. it was just everything i can remember sitting in the house and saying, hey, i've done this to my family. they gave me my code. they gave me my credit cuz they said they would do the deal. i wanted my youngest daughter to go to theater school . all that went out the window. i got a cup of coffee, the cost of $1100000.00. got home. i had to change from being friendly to a person in the corner, giving them no options and see the boy that brings us and not that is my feelings

in the clays deal by, you know, we have contaminated with getting and also by the expense of the business it's not just businessman, it's not, it's not like guys let me in ships and shops and ties. it's people who to have, as a businessman, have worked really, really hard to build these businesses. some of them are 2nd support generation family businesses. so it's, it's, it's integral to their whole life. so they'll lose the business. they basically lose the family, they lose their life. cortex employed 3 and

a half those employees. it provided software services and hardware to restaurants, so, tail chains around the world. it was a viable, vibrant british technology company in my 1st 100 days, is the ceo doing the sort of traditional 100 day review. i find some historical accounting 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 are of any concerns you have. so i went to our b s. who were the lead bank of 5 banks that lent money to trex over the years, or they were the agent effectively and i met with them. i explained that as a, as a non accountant, i was just concerned with historically codes and all on what, 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, i said suddenly brought in these restructuring specialists who business didn't need restructure to refinance. or we anything there 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 been to pushed into this thing called g, l g, the global restructuring group. and when i created this repeatedly, i was repeatedly told or so restructuring unit is 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 until this this potential issue is reviewed. and that was just a complete lie. ah,

g r g 's function was not to restructure or to support to help the management and employees of all of our business as i, as i later find me. clever restructuring group as part of bob. yes, it basically came into being in a bite, october 2008, just after the bailouts were 1st announced. and it was a re re spray of an existing organization within our

b s corps of 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, and viable companies which were pushing through matthew means. so companies were told, this was a part of the bank 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. and in reality, it was absolutely nothing of the sort. georgi was essentially more like an avatar or a slaughter house that was that to come up the these businesses to enable us to extract the maximum amount of value possible from these poor businesses that ended up in

that part of our b. s. mm oh my relationship with the bank of scotland went back to the 1900 seventy's when i started to become successful with the b b. c. and i think the way that these things normally come about is your accountant says, all of us have really good bank manager and the bank manager recommends a good service to you and 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 purse knew selling 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 helicopter. so i then set up a helicopter company helicopter management, and that was the beginning of unique asian. we moved into providing brokerage management of aircraft, including private jets, things wasn't making a fortune, but it made money. in fact, in the 80s i was probably earning a pound doing corporate work every pound i made with the b c. and this was the beginning of unique group. at the time, i just thought as we became under 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. got you these people have gotcha me. i think broadly in the fraud let. so it's a company that was a tastefully viable company that could offer them and the company would go on, it would pay back the money was a, is interest. and then the bank would suddenly cold in the line, a very, very short notice, and not even allow some companies to pay back the money which they had. they would then immediately put that in value as into a company value, the company as

a fraction of what it was really worth. they put in their, in insolvency practitioners. they would send the sold the company all for fall this and it was worth. and then gave for the personal guarantees of the interest of the company. ah ah ah

oh, when i was shocked, seemed wrong when i just don't hold any world to shape out these days because the advocate and engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. on the 6 of the 6th, 2016, my children were home alone. and sudden they, they had to shouting at the door. they didn't go to the door and suddenly got more, more aggressive, banging at the door, saying that they were failing. so my daughters were absolutely petrified to you

would imagine the one of the 2 men posing his bailiff crow, bought the door off on just burst into the house. they then said that the children have to leave the house. they mantle told them through them into the street. we raced back to the children when we got back there, they weren't very, very bad state. as you can imagine, crying some bones. it was just horrendous. and then there was just one man there who was the man who had croak out the door. we have video footage of him and we actually have photos of him. and i found out from the children that he was also wearing, i like waistcoat with pockets which he filled with loot. so we were calling 999 over and over and over again. we called the court. the court said that i was on the house and anyway, out by this, we never ever do anything they, we won't be allowed to do anything. so we then start to realize that there's some

very, very old government, you know, we show you a days. notice you days this man then said that he wouldn't let us back in our own house. i explained, i have to say and i need to get back into my home. i need to go to the toilet. he refused point blank. to allow me into my own home, i sat record, everything have been child was completely fine. the lay when the place time, i'm not show the place the pipe. what and the police say, this isn't a legal eviction needs to be allowed back into your property. when we got back into the property, we saw that they had smashed the windows of our homes. they had flattened the lights,

the height. mm . and the children never got over that was because that was the day that they took out life. i guess like many things in life that are truly life changing life defining unless you've experienced that you don't fully understand it. so observe is around

the outside kind of thing was sort of a couple of friends she she really tried to kill yourself. so all about, you know, life snippet that bad, but they weren't in the quick sense. they were standing on the rocks around the pool. i, i am always surprised a number of business people immediately tell me about attempted suicide, nervous breakdowns. i'm. it's pretty gut point where it's just we kind of expected very common that people's marriages have broken up. they've lost their family home. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. mm. type of fraud in this country, according to bolts with university, is around about a $193000000000.00 a year. just staggering. this isn't just the back and that have been being involved

in this is the concept. see firms, it is the lawyers. and also just the insolvency practitioners and the value of land who are quite clear and you came by the house of commons, the base of undervalued the assets. a company is by 50 percent. and very often this becomes very care because when they've been take, maybe they themselves, the assets were twice what the value demand me my name's jim mcgraw to exit alias from santana's hotel box and 970 two's 1000 tons. it was basically a high over 10 years or so. i built 15 beds and the town

thing and himself eating the boss. how do you think for 120 run up to 2005 to say to those by my sell by date i don't want to those sort of one and a half 1000000 to the money and gave it to the still buying to invest on when our foster plays deal buying, they were very helpful. i was all for the available. and so i was and sold a t v l a tailored business one which said that had flexibility and, and we give you any movement you wanted. you could change if you wanted there seems to be that that all that the thought it had no contingency and it was what it was, what you got if you wanted to, to pay the one you had to be. cause if you want to devote more money, you had to break cause there was nothing you could do. it was actually, it was basically a talk,

61 pinball known as they call the tv else. so it was in some respect, affects the moon with a variable because he had no idea what it was and the 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 comes in trends in a marker. none of us not on tape of us. we wanted to do this, run the hotel do you think it would be better to have a full scale review but sales process to ensure that actually the many customers that we are complaining feel there is a real form of regress. those are unforgivable situations. carter have to take the customer testimony and face value alignment and has to be fixed and prescribed.

i'm fascinated with your title, debbie. it looks like something created of the bbc's, w one, a executive director, customer trust and confidence. yeah. why do you think or institution decided to create a particular title called executive director of customer trust and confidence? so i think can people already learned that there's no, there's things have happened in the past, but the bank, the grid i've got a house full of paper work. one terabyte hard drive is all full of blanket meals on in there because who is a g o c? glazed thing

today. so i have available to me and we are dealing with a off season that people have. i think it's 12345 laptops, not computer one through the office. and when doing the rolling and foolish jump, it becomes a concept. you know, it becomes part of your life. takes away your life and it means that you can doing

. you stuck the me who we have had thousands of businesses coming to the n p. 's trying to deal with disputes on the back of things like r b s. s global restructuring group. i'm obviously the h threading fraud is not spark stream example of, of this kind of misconduct. but still essentially what we've identified between all the finance 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, so you push a small business over the h pushes me right to the edge, bankruptcy and i was picking myself up again. and while i'm 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 wanted to get healthy and get their result april in these dirty people. 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. not much seems to be done. and i think well they have sipped 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 they put in place that organ 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 boring the whistle to them, but,

but i also blew the whistle to the on the stock exchange. the city of london police, the serious fraud office because there was a counting anomalies were 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 c distraught office and the head to become a claims city of london police ibis ignored those 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 administration. and then the asset stripped that and sold the assets to service. a boucher 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 an 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. bon told us employees and suppliers will do is to massages, you must know your son is

her daughter, the war a manual in 1st to let you know that the grandmother was over to one of the money my calendar on a, a. 1 to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on very dramatic development. only really and getting to

resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk a ah, russia says it has no intention of inviting ukraine and a written security response to the united states. waddell's urging nato to products military advisors out of the crank and end joint military drills. the west that strangers it's predicted date of a russian invasion of the country off to february 16, failed to materialize. moscow says it's a fabrication less sure. look as to whether the escalation will end on february, the 20th. i don't know because we are not the ones who are escalating. we're not doing this under the canadian berlin. if there is brenda, the dictator, boy, opposition lawmakers as

a hearing mouse over the use of emergency powers against protesting truckers. let's
