To get him if he turns up. We dont have to wait long. One of stevies lookouts has spotted the man. Hello . Walking where . Get up here quickly, get up here quick. Where is he . At this point, you get this mad feeling, hearts pounding, ive got a massive adrenaline rush. Guess whos back . Back again . Trap is back tell a friend. Stevies had to be prepared to go to court since he went from being a fan of other hunters to being one himself this year. His evidence has already been used three times. But first, he has to gather that evidence. Im pretending to be a 14 year old boy. Interviewer how long was it before you told him you were 14 . I always wrap up within the first four messages. What i do is i screenshot the whole conversation as i do them. He starts off nice, how you doing today . And then he starts to move into more dirty chat. Its this chat log that stevie will later hand over to the police in its entirety. Its important hunters dont take the lead in any conversation and that they keep repeating that they are a child. When i talk to them, i talk about school, i hate a certain teacher. Its always brought back up to school, child, school, child. I mean, its a very tricky thing to do and its very disturbing. I make sure i take breaks and sometimes ijust throw my phone down and ill leave it there. Stevie doesnt claim to be perfect. As a young man, he had run ins with the law himself. I think about the aggro, the damage ive caused to certain people, from being the way i was, and i literally wanted to leave my mark, wanted to do something good for the society. Its taken over my life. Ive sort of bitten off more than i can chew. Im never going to be able to give this up, this is me for life now. The police call paedophile hunters vigilantes who risk letting the guilty go free by posting their videos online before prosecution. Stevie does just that and its popular. He has 171,000 facebook followers. Ive definitely got supporters of what i do and a lot of children. I caught two there, one just on the corner over there and then another one over there. I walk over to my local shop and its past the local school and im forever getting stopped by kids and they are asking me for photographs and one day i was having a bit of an emotional day and the next thing, i felt a tap on my shoulder and i turned around and this little boy asked me if i was who he thought i was and he just put his hand out and said, mate, can you shake my hand, thank you for saving us kids and i literally thought i could have cried. It literally brought a tear to my eye. I thought, wow, thats an impact im having on a child. I caught another guy at this shop here, i think it was a tuesday afternoon and i took a day off work to catch him. It was right outside here. You all right . How you doing . Sound. You all right . Do you want to come and have a chat . 0k, dinners on the go. Interviewer what you think about what steves doing . Brilliant work. Its about time someone stood up in the community. Someone standing up and making a difference. Police arent doing nothing about it, are they . So in my opinion, if it takes one man to put them all away, then so be it. So are the police not doing enough . Or is stevie stepping on their toes . Chief constable simon bailey is the man in charge of child abuse investigations across the country. Vigilante groups are putting the lives of children at risk. They might not perceive it that way but they are potentially comprising our operations, they are not undertaking the comprehensive Risk Assessment that we do. But you are quite happy to use the evidence. Is that not sending a conflicting message . No, im not sending a conflicting message, the challenge i have is that whilst i have been consistently giving this message, unfortunately, for whatever reason, these groups continue and carry on doing their work. How many times has an operation compromised of theirs . How many times is evidence lost when one of their stings and one of their entrapment operation goes wrong . It seems, though, that the police are behind the game. In 2014, 20 cases which are meeting a child following sexual grooming, the police used evidence from paedophile hunters. In 2016, its 114 cases. Thats a sixfold increase. Thats staggering, isnt it . My message dont compromise our operations hasnt been taken on board by these vigilante groups. But they say they are saving lives, saving children from being put at risk because they are having success. Im not going to condone these groups and i would encourage them all to stop, but i recognise i am not winning that conversation, i am not winning that moral argument. Will there ever be a situation where paedophile hunters could Work Together with police . I think that is something we will potentially have to look at, yes, but it comes with some real complexities. Not least of all, the psychological screening that the professionals go through to make sure that these people are still not being adversely affected by this. Whilst i will have to look at it, those risks are realistic and they cannot be understated. Stevie admits his first efforts at catching paedophiles were flawed and the predators went free. His stings have also been criticised as showboating. But he says its addictive and he wont stop. You can see i live in quite a humble place. I go to work every day on a building site, its dusty, hot or wet and muddy. Im not living a good life. I come home at night and torture myself talking to perverts. You all right . They are good people. They dont see me at 3am on tuesday, talking to some pervert and then ive got to be up at 6am to drive an hour away to go to work. People dont see that side of it. Some stings take weeks or even months to initiate. 0thers happen much more quickly. Guess whos back . Stevies about to meet a man who groomed him in just two days when stevie posed online as a 14 year old boy. Hello, mate. Bobby, yeah . You arranged to meet a 14 year old boy here today for sex . No. Yes, you have, mate, do you want me to get the stuff out and show you . Ive got all the chat log there, buddy, its all screenshot, its all there. The police are on their way right now. Im a paedophile hunter, mate, thats what i do. Im afraid youre under a citizens arrest, mate, im not going to let you go anywhere. No, please. Mate, youre under citizens arrest, i can use force. Im not going to. Buddy, dont make me pin you down, please. Please. No, not please. Ive got to meet my wife. What were you doing arranging to meet a 14 year old to have sex, then . Im not arranging to meet a 14 year old. Yes, you were talking to me the whole time. He was 18. He wasnt. You were talking to me the whole time. It was me messaging you the whole time. Stevie, the boy, right . So if you try and run off, im going to pin you down, restrain you, using reasonable force. Please. No brute force, reasonable force. Please. All within the law, section 24a of the Police Public evidence act. Youre not going anywhere, buddy. Im appealing to you, please. You have to appeal to the courts, mate, once you get charged, not me. You cant appeal nothing to me. I will go away for life. Why . Have you been caught before . Why is the child on grindr posing as a 14 year old boy . Hes not posing, im posing as a 14 year old child. Why are you posing as a 14 year old child . To catch out scumbags like you. Speechless, hey . This is the horrible wait, mate, to be honest, i hate it just as much as you. You probably hate it more than me but i dont like this wait myself. But sirens is promising. How you doing, you all right . Do you want to speak to my colleague over there . The Police Arrive within minutes. All the evidence is there, screenshot. Ive managed to stop him from. 0fficer, officer, can you stop him from going on his phone because he can delete evidence . The man is interviewed. Its clear to the officers an offence may have been committed. We are arresting him and taking him down the station now. 0k. Obviously you are happy to come and give a statement . Yeah, of course. Absolutely. I do enjoy catching them and having them locked up. The look on their face knowing that they are not going to get a kid. The word enjoyment isnt something id use to do this. Did i enjoy him sending me a naked picture of him . No. The man hoping to meet a 14 year old boy for sex is robert babey from eastleigh. A serial sex offender. Hes beenjailed more than once. This time he pleaded guilty to multiple breaches of his sexual harm prevention order. Hes in prison awaiting his sentence. Thats him now, phone in the bag, look, so he cant delete anything off it. Thats him done. That was a good one. Now, if youve been affected by any of the issues raised in that film, there are details of an action line at the end of tonights programme. As ever, id like to hear your thoughts on that story as well. Normal e mail still to come we celebrate 50 years of one of our best loved liners. There isjust nothing that measures up to the qe2. Next in this country, there are more than 2 Million People over the age of 75 who live on their own. And being isolated can be harmful to our health. Well, in brighton, theres a scheme trying to get people out and about and its a simple as, well, riding a bike. In 2012, danish cyclist ole kassow started a movement called cycling without age. Based in copenhagen, the idea is to get older people back on bikes. Since then, it has taken off in 25 cities around the world and now, ole has come to brighton. How you doing . Good thanks, buddy. Jump in. Off we go. How did you come up with this idea . I saw this old man sitting on a bench and i thought, how cool would that be if i could give him the chance to be part of society, part of life again . And so ijust showed up and started taking rides. We just took off. Setting wheels in motion to take off here, cycling fanatics Duncan Henderson and craig sullivan. After borrowing a bike from denmark, theyve now bought their own. The plan to give free rickshaw rides to the slightly older generation, all over brighton. Why did you want to get involved . What was it about the idea . We bought this loaner bike and i took out this lovely lady for a ride down to the seafront and thought nothing of it. She seemed to enjoy it, it was fab. Got home, next day, her son rings me and says, that was amazing, whatever you did for my mum was amazing. Pretty much everyone rode a bike when we were kids. A lot of us still ride bikes as adults. But the elderly, most of them dont any more. But its not because they dont want to. Today, duncan and craig are planning to surprise an unsuspecting vi with a bike ride. Im 93 tomorrow. My husband died in his retirement year at 65 so ive been by myself for 29 years. I have a chair which i go out in. Ive got the help of my trolley. Vi lives in sheltered accommodation and rarely ventures beyond the estate. I do like to be beside the seaside. Until walking became a struggle, vi always enjoyed getting out and about. We used to like going to the dancing. I used to walk to the seafront and now i cant do that. Which is why duncans being in cahoots with vis pal denise. Yes duncans arrived with a brand spanking new rickshaw to whisk them both off to the seafront. What a lovely surprise really, i had to bite my tongue last night because i popped down. A mere 73, denise also lives alone, just two doors down from vi. I feel like a star. You are did you use to cycle when you were younger . Idid. Oh, yes. You dont go fast on it. You are really encouraged not to go faster than walking pace so it gives them the opportunity. People say, oh, you are doing all right in there. They go, yes, this nice young mans taking me out for a ride. Its beautiful. I go like this. Creating this interaction between people of all ages who might not normally get to meet up is what ole says his movement is all about. It makes people feel like they belong to something. They are part of something where elderly people, they can very easily become isolated and theres really nothing wrong with being alone but feeling alone is a terrible feeling. But when you are out like we are right now, its also as if the air and the sights and just being stimulated, itjust makes the conversation going. What you think of the service . I think its beautiful. And it gets people out which is so, so important. Especially me, when i cant come down here. Itsjust wonderful. It puts you back in the land of the living. You only have to spend a short time on this with one of these people and theirjoy is utterly infectious. It feeds my soul. I think thats what this movement is about, its about connection between young and old and between stories, you can share your stories, both ways, each generation. Its very powerful. The grand plan a fleet of rickshaws all along the south coast. There are a lot of people that retire down the south coast so i cant imagine you could have enough bikes. Thank you. Oh, thank you. What a big one vi has not been on a bike since the 1940s. I havent had an ice cream like this for ages. Because we are looking at the sea, we are breathing the air and weve got people around. Do you think it tastes better . I do. But now shes looking forward to more ice creams on the seafront and free rickshaw rides. Beside the sea i cant tell you how much i love that idea. Great stuff. Now, dont forget, we are on twitter, we are at i thought id do a bit of a mind reading. Think of a ship, any kind of ship you like. Yes . Its white, isnt it . A liner, famous, 50 years old, im seeing a q, and an e, and a 2. Am i right . As soon as i saw her, i thought, wow. She just looked fantastic. And from that day on, bob didnt realise how much i would love her. Because his wallet hurt. Fran and bob spires cruised the qe2 45 times. They spent 18 christmases on board and became so well known by the crew they were nicknamed mr and mrs qe2. To me, its not only the slickest looking liner in the world, it was the most comfortable one to be on. There isjust nothing, nothing else on the seas anywhere that measures up to the qe2. Few thoughts were given at clydebank to conquest of the air or space by the crowd of nearly 50,000 at john browns shipyard. 50 years ago, the last british built transatlantic liner was launched. I name this ship Queen Elizabeth ii. Named on 20th september, 1967, she became the longest ever serving liner and one of the most famous ships in history. Like her great predecessors, the new liner will write a further chapter in the story of ocean travel in this, the second elizabethan age. The qe2 was fast, smart and sleek. And from her home port in southampton, she sailed passengers around the world, offering a level of glitz and glamour never seen before. The real genius behind the design of qe2 was a ship that was able to go on the atlantic in the northern summer so they could do the transatlantic crossings, and then escape the rough weather and the cold winters and go cruising in the winter months. Chris frame is a maritime author and qe2 expert. When qe2 was designed, it was in the late 19605 and they actually had a very 1960s style interior in the ship. When she first entered service, the critics, they really hated the new materials of the ship but what happened was, the travelling public loved it and a whole new group of people started travelling on the qe2. Here is a remarkable ocean liner, service, comfort and efficiency. Queen elizabeth ii is a vast seagoing complex, capable of accommodating 1,800 passengers on ten passenger decks. At the time she came into service, she had four swimming pools which was considered quite revolutionary. Two of them were on deck, two of them were below deck and the idea was, when she was in the atlantic, the weather would be too rough for the swimming pools on deck, you could go down and enjoy the gym facilities in the lower parts of the ship. Theres a gym under the watchful eye of a fully qualified instructor. It had everything you could want in a ship. Lunch in the princess grill is a gastronomic delight. The food was magnificent, that always helps. And so were the drinks. And this is actual footage of frances in 1968 when she was a world class dancer. So a ship with a ballroom was a dream come true. Proud to say i was in the guinness book of champions as being the youngest World Champion at that point in time. So did your dancing feet set the qe2 alight, bob . Yes. We were known as the dancers, yes. Trouble is, we used to go on the floor sometimes and they all got off. That was part of life in the qe2, wasnt it . Very much so. The dancing, the glamour, the style, panache. Where are you going . In 2008, frances and bob were filmed for a bbc documentary that followed the qe2 on herfinal ever voyage. The captain of the ship ian mcnaught had the honour. People were fiercely loyal to that ship, she was a very, very special ship. All im going to say is, enjoy this great ship because there never will be another one. So enjoy it. I was very proud to be her captain. Ian was ships master for herfinalfive years. When you do your first time as captain and go out on the bridge wing and you are ready to manoeuvre the ship off the berth and take it out, all of a sudden, you realise everybody is looking at you. Because you are it. How are you . Ian how nice to see you. How lovely to see you. Good to see you. You have to enjoy it because if you didnt, it would be like being in prison with 2,500 experts all around you so you have to enjoy it. And do you still have the dress with the feathers . You know what, i do. You still have it . Ive still got that dress. If id known, id have e mailed you and you couldve put it on today. And you cant be false about it. People can see through you very quickly so youve just got to go out there, be yourself and enjoy it and people are fascinating, they are incredible. Special memories. Thats really touched me, that you remembered what i wore. On 26th november, 2008, the qe2 sailed into her new home, at the port of rashid in dubai. She had been purchased by a Foreign Investment company. Through her life, the qe2 had sailed 5. 6 million miles, carried 2. 5 million passengers and completed 806 transatlantic crossings. We had a lot of time to ourselves in dubai because once the passengers were gone, then the boys and girls started going and very quickly, we ended up with just about a dozen or so of us left on the ship. It was heartbreaking to be honest and in the end, you were glad to get off because it wasnt the real qe2 any more, she was this thing that was dying, which was a great shame. It was just so emotional and so sad. And the moment that you finally were packing your bags and you finally stepped off . It was all memories. Choking. Final turn, look back, how do you even do that . No, no, got in the taxi. You still get emotional about it . Yes. Very much. They dont make them like they used to. Thats it for now. Dont forget the e mail. Jon. Cuthill bbc. Co. Uk. And ill see you next time. Details of organisations offering information and support for anyone who has experienced sexual abuse are available at oryou can call for free, to hear recorded information on hello. Once again, quite a bit of detail about the coming weekends forecast over the next minute or so and then we can look at what well be expecting over the forthcoming week. Friday was a mishmash of weather conditions, glorious to start with but it was umbrellas for some and parasols for other. The reason is the weather front over Northern Ireland spreading cloud and rain to the east. It was never a bother for the far south east. The weather fronts are going to be around in some shape or form on the course of saturday. Looking to the atlantic, that frontal system is going to become a player for northern and western parts as far ahead as sunday. Saturday, a dull start across the southern part of britain. With time, pushing the cloud further north, robbing parts of scotland of their sunshine although the north will fare nicely. Across the south, increasing sunshine, which will boost the temperatures, 18 or 19 and we may match that across the far north of scotland. Those fronts fading away through the course of saturday night to leave the main player for sunday this atlantic front which doesnt stay in the atlantic all day. It crosses Northern Ireland and pushes cloud and wind and rain into scotland and the irish sea coast. Away from the cloud of the west, the east will do very well, some spots getting up to 21, 22, pretty good for the time of year. The same weather front out of sunday into monday, rather stuck between the High Pressure dominant over scandinavia, low pressure building in the atlantic and it doesnt know whether to go east or west, so probably it will end up sitting across the Western Areas and tending to fizzle through the day. The best sunshine can be found towards the east. On tuesday, the onshore breeze is going to temper the feeling across the northeast quarter but in many inland areas, away from the easterly breeze we may have temperatures into the teens, if not 20 degrees and there isnt much change as far ahead as wednesday. High pressure still the dominant thing, holding for the most part the atlantic fronts. Notice the isobars, another windy day for Northern Ireland. And the North Eastern quarter of the british isles. If anything, the feeling is that the frontal system may make progress in towards Northern Ireland and western scotland. Elsewhere, dry weather. The High Pressure is there because of this waving jet stream, low pressure in the atlantic. Things are developing over the states and canada, warm air from developing over the states and canada, warm airfrom the caribbean and cold air, cold enough for snow across the north, reinforcing the jet stream and as we get into the latter pa rt jet stream and as we get into the latter part of the week the strength of the jet stream will move aside the High Pressure and eventually, low pressure being fired at the british isles. Maybe a bit to the north. In the shorter term, joy is in the east, rain at times in the west and when we get the strong jet strea m west and when we get the strong jet stream i think things will turn it good deal more unsettled for parts of the british isles. Lots going on good night. The Prime Minister extends the hand of friendship the Prime Minister extends the hand of friendship to the eu try to unblock the brexit talks. She strikes a noticeably warmer tone as she positions the uk as a close and lasting ally of the eu. It is up to leaders to set the tone and the tone i want to set is one of partnership and friendship. She calls for a brand new dealfor the uk unlike that of any other country with a two year transition period. Eu heads give the speech a cautious welcome, but call again for more detail before trade talks can start. Also tonight the online minicab service, uber, used by millions around the world, is banned in london. An 18 year old man is charged with attempted murder for the tube attack in london last week
