yvette national crime agency. 9000 arriving since labour got into power, it seems the gangs simply aren't listening. and keir starmer scrapped the rwanda plan on day one. but now hotels paid for by british taxpayers have been snapped up by german officials who plan to use rwanda to process their own illegal immigrants. has britain become an international laughingstock? and with just 83 spaces left in britain's packed prisons, the government is considering exporting cons to estonia's empty nix. now there are more than 10,000 foreign inmates in our prisons. wouldn't that be the best place to start? and the government has sensationally scrapped plans to house 1700 asylum seekers at historic raf scampton. locals are delighted, but with labour's dispersal plans, the solution is the victory hollow. might these men be coming to a street near you soon? that's all coming in your next hour .

home office and the statement reads this, this government is committed to investing in the national crime agencynsure that it has the capacity and the capability to tackle growing threats. last month, we announced 100 extra national crime agency officers on top of the 50% uplift in nca officers stationed in europol and a spokesman for the nca said this. we are committed to working with government to ensure that the agency has the right structure and is able to attract, retain and is able to attract, retain and support a talented workforce. it is imperative that we deliver for value money while achieving our mission of protecting the public from serious and organised crime. now and as the threat evolves , well, and as the threat evolves, well, coming up next word experts have warned that criminals may be left homeless as nearly 2000 prisoners are set be freed the government's early prisoner release welcome back to elianne tonight with me, martin daubney. now our next story, the controversial scheme to release some prisoners from jail early has hit yet another roadblock as a senior source from the

the national crime agency , a the national crime agency, a crucial part of sir keir starmer's plan toning of an unprecedented brain drain and also critical vacancies that threaten its ability to fight people smugglers and other serious criminals. well, joining me now to discuss this is the research director from the centre for migration control, robert bates. rob, welcome to the show . always rob, welcome to the show. always a delight. so on friday, we were told the national crime agency was an absolutely integral lynchpin in smashing the gangs. and clamping down on illegal immigration. today the spotlight on corruption report has said that looks like it won't be possible because the national crime agency is on its knees. it's creaking at the seams. tell us more . us more. >> us more. >> yeah, so this is an absolute disaster for the labour party. and it's also a disaster for the country, because what we're essentially seeing is the plans to stop the boats are now being built upon incredibly faulty foundations , foundations that foundations, foundations that simply aren't fit to take t

the other thing you need is the national crime agency. nal crime agency has got some of the lowest morale of any public sector whatsoever. supposedly, they are paid less than your average kind of senior police officer, despite the fact that they do a lot of very controversial, very in—depth, very high profile work. so that's a problem. and apparently more people are leaving than they're managing to employ, which again, is another massive issue. so if you are actually going to stop the boats, how does that square off? and we were hoping to have the former head of border force uk, tony smith , but unfortunately there smith, but unfortunately there are a couple of issues with him. so we've managed to rope in at the last minute. a familiar face is benjamin butterworth, who's back for more. benjamin, thank you very, very much. look, it doesn't really matter which way you dress this up, to be fair, does it? if the national crime agency is, quote, hobbled and on its knees, we ain't smashing the gangs, are we? >> well, i mean, look, if it's on its

is taking place today in sheffield following a five year investigation by officers from the national crime agencyirls in rotherham in the early 2000. well, we're joined now by our national reporter, charlie peters, outside sheffield crown court. >> charlie, just fill us in. what's happening today ? what's happening today? >> good afternoon, tom and emily. well, today we will hear the mitigating factors presented by the defence barristers and also the victim impact statements. their opportunity to put forward how these crimes affected them and these crimes have been described as dehumanising and harrowing . when dehumanising and harrowing. when the jury gave guilty verdicts to seven defendants in june. the court heard as part of this five year long investigation, some of the appalling abuse suffered by the appalling abuse suffered by the two teenage girls who were 11 and 15 at the time of the abuse, starting in 2003 until 2008. now, the national crime agency said that the defendants waged a campaign of violence against the defendants who were put through that dehumanising abuse. in rotherham, the

and the plan is that the national crime agency will work together with m15 agency will work together ith mi5 and other agencies, but also will work with europol, and there'll be national crime agency officers in bulgaria. one of the places where dinghies and engines get smuggled in and across europe. but the question, isuppose across europe. but the question, i suppose , is will this work? i suppose, is will this work? love to get your thoughts on that. farage @gbnews .com i have to say i have no great confidence that it will, because it seems to me that if you smash the gangs, even if you do smash the gangs, even if you do smash the gangs, even if you do smash the gangs, the money, the money these people can make is so great that others will come and fill their place. it's rather like sort of whack a mole. i just don't believe it's going to work. i don't believe it can be done. i'm joined tonight in the studio by richard drax, former conservative member of parliament, by matthew talbot, former labour adviser. but first i'm going to go to doctor mike jones of migrationwatch uk. i supp

against girls. >> yes, today's sentencing is the result of a five year investigation by the national crime agencyation stovewood. >> well, let's get the very latest on this. our national reporter, charlie peters, is live for us at sheffield crown court. charlie, today, what happened ? happened? >> well, today the sentences were handed down. the judge briefly refreshed the court on the case, reminding them of some of what we heard during that nine week trial, which concluded here in june. and he also thanked both of the survivors for being present in court, sat in the jury section underneath the public gallery. so they could watch the defendants, all seven being taken away to lengthy custodial sentences. and then those sentences were handed down because there were seven men and the crimes were so lengthy. the judge, mr justice slater, had to take a break after delivering four to summarise the other three. those seven men sent down today are mohammed amar. he was given 14 years imprisonment. yasser ajaib given six years imprisonment. mohammed zamir siddique, 15 years imprisonment . mohammed years i

there's a recruitment crisis at the national crime agency in the mail. the mail, the mail.to do that all night? really? you're going to shout out the name of the paper? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> okay. >> okay. >> national crime agency is on its knees. which is the best. yeah >> what is that like? >> what is that like? >> that? so this is part of keir starmer's plan to deal with the gangs, the smash, the gangs. and the problem is that they've actually losing more employees than they're gaining because it's got the lowest, sort of happiness level or whatever it is for for us, lower than the in the civil service. right they're paid the least, and the job satisfaction. so they're losing a lot of people. they're losing a lot of people. they're losing a lot of senior officers who obviously the most experienced who can actually do their jobs . who can actually do their jobs. and this is this is a real problem because this is like a central tenet of starmer's plan to deal with the immigration, on the boats. and it doesn't matter now that they're going to put some

british domestic agencies that already exist immigration enforcement, m15, border force, the national crime agencygency and the crown prosecution service. these agencies, as i say, are all domestic in the united kingdom. they don't operate in europe, which is where the people smugglers are. so there is not a cartel in chance, a cat in hell's chance of breaking the people, smuggling gangs , using people, smuggling gangs, using domestic agencies. what we need is if the is the europeans to break the people smuggling gangs and if they could have done it, they would have done it by now, but much you want closer, cooperation and collaboration? >> no, i do not want. no no no no no no no no no no no no no no [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 ho [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 ho [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 ho [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 [10 ho. no no no no no. >> if what i'm saying is if it were possible to break the people smuggling gangs in the way that labour wishes to d

the head of the national crime agency has said there's never been a more dangerous time to take drugsou are watching bbc news. the uk's national bee unit says it's in a race against time to try to destroy invasive asian hornet nests in kent and sussex before the new queens hatch by late september. so far this year 10 asian hornet nests have been found in the south east of england and there's a fear they could spread further across the uk. fiona irving reports. up there, it's up there if you stand here. stand here where i am. in the small kent village of holcomb, an asian hornet�*s nest has been discovered. yeah, it's a decent size. at around 30m up, hundreds of these invasive insects are busy growing their colony. this nest will soon be destroyed. and for the government team in charge of doing that, there's an urgency to their work. at this point in the year, the queen is almost certainly one queen in that nest. but as we move into the autumn, more queens will be laid with the intention that those ones would then disperse once they become mature. so is ita bit ofa aace against time to

we showed john's interview to sean sutton from the national crime agency., the nca is so concerned about this they've spoken to the coroner's office to say that in cases of suicide where there's no apparent motivation, coroners might explore the possibility of sextortion. it's really difficult to get a grip onjust how many victims are out there, because until now, this criminality has fallen under a number of other offences, mostly blackmail, but also cyber crime, child abuse. but that is about to change. such is the scale of this issue, the nca is about to start identifying this as a crime in its own right. it'll be called financially motivated sexual exploitation and given its own crime code. only with that code will they be able to track how widespread this is. your concern, though, is even with a new crime code, the information you get back will probably be the tip of the iceberg because people are so reluctant to report these crimes. yeah, i'm sad to say i think that is probably true. people think they'll pay an amount of money and these people will go

the national crime agency emphasised again this morning the severity of that crime and the severity ofpact it has on the victim and this gross crime, if you like. it is an extremely serious offence. the chairman of the bbc said in a note to all staff shortly after mr edwards pleaded guilty to the three counts that he was the villain in this piece, if you like. the bbc issued some very strong language around him and his crime. they have asked for the £200,000 mr edwards and between the arrest and leaving the organisation on medical grounds back. the director—general said again last week in front of the lords committee that he had asked for that money back and it was in progress. communication was taking place, it is not clear whether that money will paid back. ., ~ whether that money will paid back. . ~ , ., whether that money will paid back. ., ~' , ., , whether that money will paid back. . ~ , ., , . whether that money will paid back. . ~ , . . back. thank you very much. we will speak _ back. thank you very much. we will speak to — back. thank you very much. we will speak to you _ bac

i sat with the prime minister, the home secretary, the attorney—general and others at the national crime agencyly looking at the awful rubber dinghies that people are coming across the channel with, discussing how we go after those gangs. but the shadow home secretary says it was a big mistake for the government to scrap the conservatives�* plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. we have seen fatalities of illegal channel crossings going up, we have seen the numbers going up, because the very first action of this labour government was to scrap an international partnership which was deterring migrants. we know this because those migrants told us so. the recent deaths have not diminished the desire of many to get to the uk. yesterday more than 1000 people attempted the crossing, 800 were brought to dover. bigger boats and bigger numbers mean there is real pressure on the government to stop the crossings and stop more loss of life at sea. steve smith is ceo of care 4 calais, the refugee charity. he told me about the impact the deaths may have on those trying to cross the channel to get to the

i sat with the prime minister, the home secretary, the attorney—general and others at the national crime agencyctually looking at the awful rubber dinghies that people are coming across the channel with. many of them, of course, not able to make it in these contraptions, discussing how we go after those gangs, in co—operation upstream with other european partners. and i know that the prime minister will be in italy tomorrow with the italian prime minister discussing these issues and the work that they have done particularly with albania. our paris correspondent hugh schofield has more. the prefect, that's the senior government representative in the pas—de—calais region, he confirmed what we know, with a bit of detail, which is that this boat, carrying 59 people on it, set out from near wimereux, which is just to the north of boulogne, an area where there has been a lot of departures recently, very near where the 3rd september tragedy was. and what was different about this disaster is that it seems they got into trouble very, very quickly, and the boat ended up on rocks. so, this wasn't a boat g

one of the things the government is trying to do with the national crime agency is target upstream, ifn of boats and engines, and it would appear one of the consequences of that is that there are fewer boats and they are less good quality and the engines are not as strong but the demand and the desperation is still there and so many are still getting onto them. there is a conversation going on between the two governments, privately some on the uk side think that the french government is pretty dysfunctional after the turbulence in french politics recently, and politically this government will be judged on a number of things, but very near the top of the list will be can they manage to grapple with the scale of this problem and the knock—on is, not least the tragedy is that we will see in the coming years? a massive challenge but they will be judged on whether they can do it. chris mason, thanks forjoining us. and victoria will have more on this on newsnight over on bbc two shortly. hi, victoria. yes, new government, use small boat strategy but can labour stop the boats and the deaths?

the national crime agency, i think, was saying this is going to go until 2027.til that date. that's how far this they're saying this goes. one, they're saying this goes. one, the jay report that was released in 2014 said there was 1400 children they predicted were victims. so god knows how big this is. and i just remember the words of john o'brien. he was the secretary to the independent inquiry, and he said there needs to be a culture change in our institutions if we're going to avoid this happening again. and he he he deliberately took out the piece on the racism stuff. he said, we've got to stop being afraid to record ethnicity data. if we really do want to start seeing the links here and where these where these grooming gangs might be, might be still operating. i'm absolutely disgusted to hear of this poor that this poor girl when she was 11 years old. it is shocking. it's disturbing to my core today. hearing your preamble at the start there, patrick. it's a shame on our country. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> why is this happening? so often and in so many p

that's why i'm here today at the national crime agency with an operational summit to absolutely drivemistake, though, to abandon the rwanda plan? we're now hearing that the germans may be considering doing exactly that. no, it was a gimmick. it cost us £700 million to persuade four volunteers to go to rwanda. we're going to use that money on operational matters. and i think the germans have already cleared up that they're not using the rwanda plan. and that's because they've concluded, like we have, that it won't work. an active government, we sat round the table with law enforcement and the police to make sure that we got the desired outcome and made sure we could deliver, in that case, swift justice. i'm absolutely determined to take the same approach here. active government, operational summit, making sure that we are going to retake control of our borders, take these gangs down. you heard more kieft in there asking the questions and i will speak to him in a moment or two. he also asked the about other big story today, including the state of british prisons. let's hear the response
