unfortunately, wes streeting rhetoric comments are totally out of touch with reality. and censoring factual language to avoid offending anyone is over. it's time we confront the harsh realities, no matter how uncomfortable they might be. so was i'm talking to you directly. the censoring of factual information under the guise of it being racist, is far more destructive to our society than any so—called rhetoric. by failing to address the grooming gang crisis head on, we're allowing the continued exploitation and rape of our children. this isn't about being politically, politically correct. it's about protecting the innocent. if our authorities had felt empowered to call out to these grooming gangs without the fear of being labelled racist, we might not be having to talk about this epidemic today. lives could have been saved and justice could have been served much sooner. keir starmers own report. your boss highlighted the same language that you are using is actually the issue. yet here we are with you asking us to dance around the truth all over again. let me be clear.

wes streeting has ordered cold pensioners to just wear more clothes. i thought he was a socialist. . >> yeah, but that's the word on the street. wes streeting says pensioners should layer up as millions struggle without winter fuel payment. it's an embarrassing situation for them, isn't it? because what can he say, really? they've put out a yellow warning for snow, which i thought that meant don't eat the snow. it's a different kind of yellow warning, apparently, but it covers most of england and wales, and apparently it's going to be worse in scotland. and why they mentioned that that's a given, isn't it? because everything's worse in scotland. you should know that. so here's the advice he has given to beafing the advice he has given to bearing in mind that what he would really like to say is we're going to give old people heating, but he can't say that. so what he said instead is layer up and then, you know, that's brilliant. but there's more. he said, turn the heating on. wow, paul said, turn the heating on. wow, paul, really? >> that's amazing advice, isn't it? >> this is our thi

we will pick up with wes streeting the health secretary later on in the programme.han 170,000 members. the tories and labour are both nervous about what he's doing and why he seems to be pulling in so much support. in recent days, he has been repeatedly attacking the government over what's become known as the grooming gangs scandal — dreadful abuse of young girls by groups of men of mainly pakistani origin that the authorities did little about, sometimes ignored, before investigations and some inquiries in recent years. farage has been packing venues round the country, like at the race track in chelmsford yesterday, where i spoke to mr farage and some of those giving up their saturday afternoon to see him. reform party's a breath of fresh air, quite frankly. why do you say that? because they are saying what the people want to hear. that's what we want. we want to move on. we want progression. we want more finances coming into this country. i feel angry. i feel emotionally angry, actually, trying to talk. to you and keep my composure. he absolutely speaks for how a l

the health secretary, wes streeting, has hit back at the billionaire, elon musk, after his attacks oning gangs. mr musk said that sir keir starmer was "complicit in the rape of britain" and called the home office minister, jess phillips, an evil witch who should be locked up. meanwhile, the leader of reform uk, nigel farage, has defended elon musk in an interview with the bbc. 0ur political correspondent, harry farley, joined me a little earlier and started with telling us more about what wes streeting has been saying. the horrific sexual abuse of vulnerable girls by gangs, often of asian men, in towns like 0ldham, rochdale, rotherham. none of that is new, but it's re—emerged this week because, as you say, from that criticism orfrom elon musk, the billionaire owner of x, he said, as you mentioned, jess phillips was a rape genocide apologist and should be in prison, particularly for her refusal to launch a national inquiry. wes streeting, the shadow health secretary, her labour colleague, was asked what he made of of elon musk�*s comments earlier. disgraceful smear of a great woman who

wes streeting is the health and social care secretary — he had this to say when asked about the reviews the sector is facing. we are gripping the social care crisis, that we are looking to stabilise the sector over the next 12—24 months, but also to deliver the reforms that we need for the medium and the long term to make sure that we have got a national care service that's fit to meet the needs of older and disabled people in our country. i wish we could fix these problems faster but i don't have a magic wand. let's speak to our political correspondent leila nathoo. it is one all the parties here in the uk have grappled with for a long time and they have already been a number of reviews so why another one? well, in wes streeting's view it is finally time to get cross—party consensus. as you say, there have been various attempts at this before but there is a confluence of issues which are plaguing the social care sector. not only the issue of funding but also with the workforce, more than 100,000 vacancies for carers. so there are major structural issues that this review is going to ad

we did see mayor cantrell at one. hurtado clement street. speaking. all right, aubry, we're having an issue with your microphone. as soon as you get that squared away, we are going to come back to you. let's get to cassie. sherm, she's on canal street. there's talk about multiple ieds. fletcher saw one. it's a big police presence in the french quarter right now. you saw nopd officers kind of sweeping the area. cars, garbage cans, trash bins, looking for anything suspicious. cassie, are you seeing the same thing where you are on canal street? yeah, i'm actually seeing that exact same thing going down. bourbon. so obviously we're on canal and bourbon right now to give you guys a little bit idea right across the way here. you guys can see right back there. tt is where it all started. and you're seeing officers going through looking underneath things. we saw people going through trash cans as well. we are seeing more looking in that area. i think that means that they're kind of just making their way through to see if it's safe to go through, because the fa

we were on bourbon street. we were now on dauphin. we've been moved off bourbon street. you talk about vigilance in a hyper, hyper sense of awareness from law enforcement. take a look here to the left, photojournalist stefon cage. just stay with us. he's going to pan down. dauphin. you can see the police lights down. dauphin we're on dauphin in orleans you see two police cruisers with their lights. remember we were on bourbon street. so now the perimeter has moved to dauphin. right behind me you can see state police. and then we have a wildlife and fisheries agent right here as well. it's truly an all hands on deck situation. and as you go back down, dauphin, you can see at the corner of dauphin in the next block right there, you can see another police cruiser. and one of the big reasons why the perimeter has been extended. i talk about that that that sense of vigilance and hyper awareness is that one of the law enforcement officers saw a suspicious package on bourbon street. so again, law enforcement is everywhere investigating everything on bourbon street that you all

the bloomberg administration understanding okay we can't get congestion pricing but we do control the physical streets there is a lot that we can do on the physical streets with just the mayor so the mayor may depend on albany a lot of things from most of the city's tax revenue sources to the public law enforcement. the set of laws under which city operates. but when it comes to what does this lane of the street belong to. the mayor can can that very quickly, just having mayor, who will stand up for his or her appointees on just a landscape of the streets itself. can be used for good or for will and in many or for ill, in many ways, it's a city hasn't even gotten to yet. so just that design the streets is a good place to re remember and to to start with i think our time is coming short. we'll one more question. yes, sir? how many cities have a relationship, a robust transit and the economic attacks created from that with the transit or, you know, sometimes as a system or groups or as a japan that the entity managing director knows that we will see some of that this government potentially. so why why i

we are seeing more and more come down to canal street looking slightly bewildered. has happened, last night, we are already seeing the restaurants filling up and musicians coming out and playing jazz. so there is a very strange atmosphere, yes, the show has to go on but also very, very sombre. absolute surprise. because nobody expects, this is not a particularly safe city, it has to be said, that nobody ever expected anything to happen that would have anything to do with terrorism. there was a shooting here two weeks ago, right here, actually. that is what people are frightened about, but certainly nobody would have ever expected a terrorist attack to new orleans. so it is really a shock and surprise today. we saw a news — shock and surprise today. we saw a news conference a while ago, the governor of louisiana, ago, the governor of louisiana, a declaration to ensure that all resources are there to get their city say. as hepatic, they would be made available. at the news conference that was quite a lot of discussion about bollards in the area. bullard switch the susp

the health secretary wes streeting says some patients' experience of the nhs this winter makes them feel critical incident due to exceptionally high demand on a&e and patients being admitted to wards. several other nhs trusts later declared critical incidents, one saying it had seen high numbers of older patients with respiratory problems exacerbated by the cold weather. doctorjim gardner is the chief medical officer at university hospital liverpool group and he says they have been impacted by staff sickness or out delayed patient discharges remained an issue. those extra measures really mean stepping down some elective activity, some nonurgent surgery, some outpatient work, so that we can move clinical teams across the hospital to help in our emergency department. police in london are _ emergency department. police in london are continuing _ emergency department. police in london are continuing to - emergency department. police in london are continuing to search i london are continuing to search for the killer of a 14—year—old boy who was stabbed on a bus on tuesday. the attack happened

we defended them. put more officers on our streets to keep new yorkers safe. many places of pushback on new housing we suit up for working-class new yorkers. never letting the voices drowned drownout the voices of need. when it was clear that our people in our streets and subways needed help we stood up to give them the support they deserve. making their lives easier or move our subway system to put them in the proper care they deserve. when washington refused to take action on our broken immigration system, we stood up for our city and pushed back while still caring for hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers. but we know we still have much work to do and more people to help. too many families are facing the same struggles that adams and others did great today want to talk about how we can make new york city the best place to raise a family. the safest place to raise a family. the most affordable place to raise a family. the most a welcoming place to raise a family. our city it must go further to get to the healthcare and housing that you need. the education t

have to really think about how we fortify streets where people congregate in large numbers very frequently. and how do we protect that? i think other cities should be thinking about the very same thing. how do you limit the flow of vehicular traffic, secure the flow of pedestrian traffic so that the vehicles and the people are not in the same place, and that this can't happen? all of us should be learning from yesterday to make things different today, tomorrow and going forward so that it's not a repeat. but every city should be paying attention. >> absolutely. it's not just new orleans or las vegas. cities all across the country need to pay attention. guys, thank you very, very much. just ahead, cnn obtaining internal government documents that are prompting new questions over whether terror warnings were taken seriously and if potential warning signs were missed. we'll talk with a former two term mayor of new orleans. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. i don't want to be remembered as just a ba

bourbon street. weerings of people who congregate and fortify all of these entrances to bourbon street. we've got it up on the screen right now. we wanted to protect the people on bourbon street from that type of incident. we have learned as we saw yesterday when i was there is a large city vehicle, a truck, a fire engine was blocking the entrance to bourbon street now and when i was there yesterday at noon, there were only three or four feet along each side allowing a car to pass. why are the side streets not fortified now? it is a residential area as well, so people come and go. deliveries have to be made because there is no delivery access on the side streets or behind the businesses and restaurants, so deliveries have to be made. >> right. >> why are there metal barricades not there with officers to support the flow of traffic and navigate the flow of traffic? those are questions that have to be asked because they have to fortify bourbon street for tonight, a popular night. and every night leading u

you had bollards up and other things that were set up like we had in the pastt that preves a vehicle from further egressing through the streetating more carnage. you can't stop it completely from entering the area without a massive amount of, say, dump trucks kwild with sand or things like that. we don't know what we don't know still. we don't know how they -- how far they got down, how many blocks they got down and what their intent was and we should find that out by now nopd, state police, the fbi should have that and i'm sure they're putting everything together so they want to sound, you know, reasonable when they speak to you and give you your press conference. >> mike, look, if this is an act of domestic terrorism and it's hard to wrap your head around something like that because no one wants to believe that something like this can happen in their city but unfortunately we see it play out all too often across america these days. are they going to the person's home? was the person on scene? we do understand that shots were fired. with the nopd if somebody was driving down bourbon street inintentionay would they be allowe
