they are approaching their local authorities for help. in the run—up to christmas.ard for young people and it's interesting listening to these two young people. figures that centre point show that family crisis and family breakdown is the biggest cause of youth homelessness. we are talking about really young people, in some cases children, who are out on the streets. a third of the young people we spoke to had stayed overnight in a park. a quarter had lived in a tent and some had been in a public toilet. that's really unacceptable in this day and age. let's find out what the politicians think can be done. bob, you oversaw a change in the way figures are collated. hearing the stories, what needs to be done? it's bob blackman, not bob chapman. sorry. i introduce the homelessness reduction act precisely because of these types of problems. the biggest cause of homelessness in this country is because of the ending ofa this country is because of the ending of a private sector tenancy. the second biggest cause, as has been mentioned, is a relationship break—up, but often i

so yeah local authorities across the u.k. and the hundreds of been turning to banks the bar instead of from government this isn't papa cause of success and chances like george osborne make it out of officially expensive for local authorities town councils to borrow from government so they've been sitting to banks like the s. who have baying stitching them up with their relatives. chains and hunted in some cases hundreds of millions of pounds from these banks what they thought were attractive interest rates which has since exploded with out many of these councils paying more than 7 percent interest rates when government rates are close to 0 and so what the council is now being forced to do is to pay extra breakage fees to extract themselves from these lines so as you point out on a $10000000.00 pound line. that the council may have to refinance the trade of something like 18000000 pounds to extract itself from these financial products from banks like i.b.s. and i having to go again cap in hand to government to borrow to do thi

hosting as many asylu m 20 local authorities hosting as many asylum seekers as the other 362 combinedabout the fairness of this policy, but it is a very complex issue, because if the home office were to mandate that local authorities take a certain quota of asylum seekers, well, you could imagine that would be quite controversial, is a difficult issue. people waiting on their decision, their application to work, they may have skills that could potentially fill gaps in the workforce, the conservatives today talking about an nhs visa to fast—track people who might want to work in the medical world. does this give us an idea for the shape of a future immigration system for the uk? it's important to recognise with regard to asylum it's important that decisions are accurate. there is no optimal time for a decision to be made. but as you suggested, one has to be aware of the costs involved, these are both financial and human. it costs more money to house and support asylu m more money to house and support asylum seekers the longer their claim goes on. and also, there is with regard to the h

interesting interesting fact is that mean that perhaps all hope isn't lost on climate for a start local authorities both federal and and city authorities are doing a great deal now to try and combat greenhouse gases a lot even they admit that's not enough without federal action in addition to public opinion is now key even republicans are increasingly worried about the climate say in a swing state like florida 44 percent of republicans now say they believe in manmade climate change and republicans are beginning to realize that they have to change their narrative to say that they too are concerned that they don't really care about their contributions from the fossil fuel industry or perhaps the lack of belief in science so there are interesting political moves underway that mean all hope isn't lost from a federal level on climate change. court has ordered president donald trump to hand over 8 years of tax returns to new york prosecutors the ruling allows prosecutors to enforce a subpoena for the documents from trump's accounting firm trump has tried to prevent the release of his tax information as p

the local authorities... i think you have to take every opportunity in an election campaign.cise any party on any side for doing that. i would expect the opposition to say this proves the government haven't done the job. if you can't take the opportunity when you can't take the opportunity when you have the deficit in the polls that they have, trying to exploit every single story, you are not thinking politically. there is a cynical edge to it. this is a campaign where in those communities, without those floods, people might have been more amenable. the government was late, he didn't care. the mop thing by the way is a gift because he sat there on tv arguing about his mop technique rather than how much has been cut, the effect of his policies, how soon they can help the areas out. the mop thing is great for him. the mop gate is great. it is now a gate! i don't know if it has reached that stage. few more days before it is a gate. these other parts of the country where they hope boris johnson can get votes off traditional labour communities. it is interesting, they have been ch
