i'm delighted that the ministry of justice have broadly accepted by recommendations and look forward recommendation suggested that we should reconsider what is currently a blanket ban on anything related to martial arts in prisons. that can be interpreted as a boxer size class or a non—contact boxing related activity. my suggestion is that governors and pe staff in our prisons should be given autonomy to make their own decisions about when boxing related activities are appropriate. we know from community findings that boxing programmes can be an incredibly powerful way of reaching some of our most disengaged young men and women in our immunities. i think it is a shame if we are missing out on delivering these programmes in our prisons, we could argue that we need them the most when we have violent prisons and we need some new ways to tackle the problems we find in prisons today. and ultimately deter people from reoffending. john, exercise became your way out, explain how. i went to prison when i was 18, got sentenced to five years. it did not change me. i didn't want to be rehabilitat

to be an active response in the police criminals to justice released by the unitarian ministry where you're positioned indicate that ninety percent of the perpetrators of anti-semitic attacks are still extreme right wingers are these statistics wrong. i've advocated within my ministry and publicly for taking a closer look at those statistics that's completely normal they were published in two thousand and one but in two thousand and eighteen i think it's time to re-evaluate their criteria it's indeed astounding that over ninety percent of the anti semitic crimes recorded were ascribed to the right. let me ask jewish people they experience it differently especially when it comes to physical attacks. in these cases they note more anti semitism enacted by muslim people. so i think we need to take the threat jewish people perceive seriously and revisit the statistics. that lie like a little boy. the research and information office realize in berlin calculated that attacks last year rose by sixty percent in comparison to the year before a large part of these took place in berlin has the german capital become a no go area for jewish peopl
