Lets speak tojim gamble lets speak tojim gamble a former senior Police Officer who was head of the Child Exploitation and online Protection Command Centre at the national crime agency. Sorry, i think my microphone is not working, i hope you can hear me, mr gamble. ,. , gamble. You can hear us, can you . Yes i can gamble. You can hear us, can you . Yes i can. Thank gamble. You can hear us, can you . Yes i can. Thank you gamble. You can hear us, can you . Yes i can. Thank you so gamble. You can hear us, can you . Yes i can. Thank you so much. Gamble. You can hear us, can you . Yes i can. Thank you so much. This| yes i can. Thank you so much. This is obviously yes i can. Thank you so much. This is obviously a yes i can. Thank you so much. This is obviously a very yes i can. Thank you so much. This is obviously a very serious is obviously a very serious casing, and very serious work that you have beenin and very serious work that you have been in charge of. Do you think the Sentencing Structure in this country is at the right place, because He Edwards was not children. Im not giving any statistics based on letting people out of prison because the prisons are full. The statistics have been stubborn for a decade. We dont treat it seriously. We have treat it seriously. We have trivialised it in court too long. Trivialised it in court too long. Thats what people think they can go thats what people think they can go into these online spaces and places, into these online spaces and places, engage with others and share images engage with others and share images or seek them out themselves. And or seek them out themselves. And no one wants their child to be no one wants their child to be captured in a Category A, b, or see captured in a Category A, b, or see image. It doesnt matter if its the image. It doesnt matter if its the worst or least worst, they are all worst or least worst, they are all awful and gut wrenching. So we need awful and gut wrenching. So we need this government to reflect on where this government to reflect on where it was before it left created the it was before it left created the Child Explication in an online Child Explication in an online exploitation centre. They were exploitation centre. They were making examples on how we were making examples on how we were leading the world. When they left leading the world. When they left another government came in, in my another government came in, in my opinion lack. Barely visible now. Opinion lack. Barely visible now. So i think its time for this so i think its time for this government to not only point the government to not only point the finger at cases like this but to finger at cases like this but to look in the mirror and reflect on look in the mirror and reflect on what can any what can they do now to generally make our children safer in these online spaces and lets begin with an action of deterrent of these predators. An action of deterrent of these predators an action of deterrent of these predators. And can you tell me who are the children predators. And can you tell me who are the children that predators. And can you tell me who are the children that are predators. And can you tell me who are the children that are exploited . In this way, are they in this country, are they from different parts of the world, how does that happen in the first place . You know what, happen in the first place . You know what. There happen in the first place . You know what, there will happen in the first place . You know what, there will be happen in the first place . You know what, there will be parents happen in the first place . You know| what, there will be parents watching this News Broadcast Tonight thinking it would never happen to me. So often we go and knock a door to say look, we need to talk to you about your child and they say oh it couldnt possibly be because my Child Wouldnt do that. It could be anyones child and in my experience its children here, children from abroad, children who are very vulnerable, its other children who are simply groomed and seduced by the charisma, the character of another individual. Children who are unhappy perhaps in school or in theirfriendship grew, a Hooker Home at night and they open their window into another world when they go online as they lie on her Bed Feeling alienated and isolated, so that the person who comes along and offers them the greatest gift of all which isnt another tv or money, its friendship, feeling like they belong. Those of the people who radicalise, the sexualised and groom our children. They criminalise them. So weve got to get serious. I dont believe the online Harms Act actually went far enough, the online safety act, isnt in my opinion going to make a difference so its time for the new government with a fresh wind to pause. Lets put children first, lets Put A Funders second. And then see what we can do to educate and empower them and their parents so that they are safer and to deter offenders so that when they go online they are not sure whether The End of thatjourney is going to be in custody. Whether The End of thatjourney is going to be in downloading class a, people caught downloading class a, Category A images, thats Kind Penetrative Sexual Behaviour with a child and much worse that i will describe, those people are going to prison. They are being given suspended sentences, they are being given management in their community, so we need to begin by sending them to prison. Certainly let them do the Sex Offender Management course but it needs to be done behind bar, if were going to argue we cant really afford that, we are arguing we can afford that, we are arguing we can afford to protect our children and thats not an argument to be had. If we are going to deal with social media company, whenever we had the consultation about the online Harms Act i said at the time, if you want to change what these companies do, dont wait until after someone is hurt to find them, kick them in the wallet beforehand. If youre going to go out tonight formally into a restaurant, if you are going to go stay in the hotel, you will look at the Hygiene Rating or trip adviser rating. This may sound naive to you, but we have to fight the new battles with new techniques, so we should be labelling every site with one, two, three, four, orfive stars. If they drop to three stars or a registered number of three, that we know they are not responding quickly enough, they are not removing content quickly enough, they are not supplying information to the police. So what do you do . You prohibit ethical advertising because these companies arent charities. These companies arent charities. These companies arent charities. These companies are there to make profit and they make billions of dollars of profit through click through advertising revenue. So there are other ways to attack this problem, but weve got to begin in the government most definitely by leading by example and that is making sure that there is an absolute consequence if you download one of these images, youre going to go to prison. And thats what we need to be getting too. Jim gamble, many thanks need to be getting too. Jim gamble, many thanks indeed need to be getting too. Jim gamble, many thanks indeed for need to be getting too. Jim gamble, many thanks indeed for Speaking Need to be getting too. Jim gamble, many thanks indeed for speaking to | many thanks indeed for speaking to us, former head of the Child Explication and online Protection Command Centre at the national crime agency, thinking. The liberals democrats says they will hold the governments feet to the fire if it doesnt show enough Urgency And Ambition over englands nhs. The party is holding its conference in brighton, and is Urging Ministers to take up lib dem ideas on health and social care. Our political editor Chris Mason has been speaking to the party leader, Sir Ed Davey and he started by asking him whether he accepted the governments view that the nhs is broken. Its under real stress and it has to have investment. It has to have reform. And as you know, notjust this conference but the general election, we put Reform And Investment in the nhs centre place. And we particularly said that we needed to sort out care as well. We see the two together. Lord darzi, former surgeon, former labour minister. He says one of the reasons the nhs is broken is, as he puts it, austerity. And then he talks about the big legislative change during the coalition years, the health and social care act, saying it was a calamity without international precedent and it proved disastrous. Do you take responsibility for that . You were in government. You were in cabinet. Yeah. I mean, if you look at the nhs over decades, you will find several things. First of all, the underinvestment in the health infrastructure, the Hospital Buildings and so on, which darzi talks about. Youll also see, its a history of failed reorganisations. Its littered with that. Two of. But austerity and as you describe it, failed legislation happened on your watch. Yeah, we know that we need to invest and reform the nhs in different ways. Absolutely, we accept that. And in the general election we put forward reforms. And one of the reforms we made during the coalition, which i dont know if darzi has focussed on this in the way that i think it deserves, is we put forward reforms for care. So we had the 201a care act, which was really the work of liberal democrat ministers, and it would have made a really big difference to social care and therefore the nhs. 0k. And it followed on from the andrew dilnot commission. Youll remember that. The problem was that after 2015, the conservatives refused to proceed with that. And that was a major failure. You talk there about more investment, as you put it, more spending. Where does the money come from to improve the nhs . Well, at the general election we put forward a quite ambitious package that was fully costed and youll remember us talking about it. We said it would come from reversing the Tax Cuts to the banks that the conservatives made. Thats £a billion that went to the big banks. We could reverse that to take the Tax Position back to 2015. That would be a big part of our spending proposals. And the other was the reform of capital gains tax. Lets look at some other taxes with this budget around the corner. Inheritance tax. Would you put that up . Um, no. I think theres a case for reforming inheritance tax, cutting it. I think theres a case for reforming inheritance tax. Cutting it . Well, let me explain. I think reforming it would mean that people who are on relatively modest levels of of inheritance. Like what . Well, i mean, a lot of peoples homes in many areas of the country are quite valuable, and they end up being clobbered by inheritance tax. And i think thats unfair, because if you look at the flip side, people who are inheriting huge amounts of money often are able, through clever Tax Planning to avoid inheritance tax. So id like to see a reform that made it more fairer, frankly. I want to talk about housing. Your manifesto had promises around House Building that were more ambitious than the government has set out 1. 9 million homes between now and the next election. Where are they going to be . Well, if you engage with the communities and take our approach to Building Homes and our approach to planning, which is a community led approach, you will, i think, find a lot more land. Because wont communities just say, we dont want them around here . No, ill tell you one of the reasons i think this is a misunderstanding. A lot of the political debate, and im glad youve asked it. And a lot of communities know they need more homes. They know that they get that somewhere else. Hold on. No, they want them in their areas for theirfamilies. But the problem is with the developer led approach. Weve seen Weve Seen Homes that dont meet the needs of local communities, either because theyre just too expensive or built in the wrong place, and they dont come with the crucial infrastructure thats required. So is it nimby or yimby . No. Look, we want the homes. We re really clear. I mean, i can take you to my constituency. Weve got our largest Council Home Building programme for over a0 years. Last couple of questions, given the size of labours majority, isnt The Truth that this government can ignore you just like the last one did . Well, i think our force of our arguments with 72 mp5, i mean, i repeat the largest Third Party in parliament for over 100 years. Labours majority is himalayan. They can just do what they want, cant they . Well, theres No Doubt that if they dont listen to criticism, they can push things through. But that may make a very bad government. The Conservatives Today have written to the Standards Commissioner around the whole question of the Prime Ministers donation, donations that the Prime Minister has received and his wife has. Is that a good idea . Is that, would you support that letter to the Standards Commissioner, exploring whether the Prime Minister has behaved as he should . Well, we need to know whether he has and where any mp transgresses rules. We need to know whether they kept to the rules. So, absolutely. Ed davey there, the lib dem leader. Well, we can speak to our political correspondent damian grammaticas, whos at the conference. It was interesting hearing him talk about for example inheritance tax, with housing, the budgets coming up, its going to be a very, very interesting and important autumn. Are the lib dems going to attack the government from the left or the right . They obviously were very, very critical of the tories, but for labour, what is their position . Its labour, what is their position . Its an labour, what is their position . It� s an interesting question, one that has been deleted a lot at this conference. Everyone here is celebrating the electoral success, 72 mp5, but then the question comes, so how did the Liberal Democrats position themselves now . And i think in that you see the sort of tension. A loss of conceits a lot of the seats they won less time all came from the conservatives. And of the seats they want to target in future, around 27 seats i think im over 20 of those are conservative help. So that focus on the conservatives so you hear that a lot here, and you have over the last few days how it conservatives left a terrible inheritance, they messed up The Public finances, they messed up the health service, thats why that Liberal Democrats talk a lot about, so they keep up those attacks but then the question about what about labour . They say there they want to be a constructive opposition and if labour take on their ideas on things like the health service, then great, Liberal Democrats will support that, otherwise it will press for change. Theres that sort of tension between the sort of socially liberal wing of the sort of socially liberal wing of the Liberal Democrats that weve been Hearing Motions here today on prisons, a motion passed to scrap all Prison Sentences less than 12 months, sentences less than 12 months, sentences less than 12 Months Shouldnt be served in prison. People are worried they will send a message that theyre soft on crime. The big message that are being sent here, no its all about delivery, big things Liberal Democrats were seen, things you deliver on that in parliament. Aha, deliver on that in parliament. A lovely there in brighton, thanks very much indeed. The Prime Minister has been in rome today, Meeting Italian leader Giorgia Meloni today, to discuss approaches to reducing illegal migration. The visit comes as charities in the uk have called on the government to find a new approach to dealing with migrants after the deaths of eight more people trying to cross the English Channel in a small boat. They were among 60 in a boat which hit rocks off the french coast on saturday night. Its understood the vessel was carrying people from eritrea, sudan, syria and iran. Lets speak to our reporter simonjones, in ambleteuse not farfrom calais. Just tell us what more you are hearing about what happened in the weekend and in the context of the political focus by the government. Well, eight people lost their lives when the boat got into difficulty, and we dont know the names of those eight people yet. They havent been identified and in truth they may never be identified because when weve seen loss of life in the channel before, often people dont have any documents on them, any identity, and that means its difficult to trace their families. We also know that people were taken to hospital, and speaking to people in this area today, along the coast of northern france, particularly the charities that work supporting migrants and refugees, they say they are sad and theyre angry that once again we are talking about deaths in the channel. But what weve got is a commitment from both the british and french authorities to go after the criminal gangs who are organising these crossings, who are packing people onto these dangerously overloaded boats, trading in human misery. I think a big overloaded boats, trading in human misery. Ithink a Big Problem is though, its easy to say in a slogan, we want to smash the criminal gangs, its much harder to do because it doesntjust involve cooperation between britain and france, and in the past that has been difficult to find, but it involves cooperation with many other countries, and britain and france would havejurisdiction in those countries so its a real international operation but there is a determination to try and bring down the number of people making the crossing, because the number of people who have lost their lives so far this year, a5 people have either drowned or been crushed to death on these quotes so far this year. Despite the deaths we saw yesterday, the crossings have continued in the early hours of this morning, four boats set off from the coast of northern france, two of them made it into Uk Waters and the people on board those boats were taken to dover so they are now beginning a new life potentially in the uk. Click on the other two boats, they didnt make it and people on board were brought back here to northern france. ,. , g. , were brought back here to northern france. ,. ,. ,. , one of televisions biggest nights has taken place in los angeles.

First of all, lets catch up with the weather, heres darren. Hello. Where weve seen some sunshine today, it has felt fairly warm. But temperatures are set to drop under Clear Skies tonight. Just like last night, we could see some patchy fog reducing visibility, giving some poor travelling conditions first thing in the morning. Now on the satellite picture, we can see this Swirling Mass of cloud that is storm boris, that has continued to bring some heavy rain across central parts of europe. But we have an area of High Pressure in charge, keeping things largely dry. Many places will see Clear Skies overnight tonight. Theres even a small chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis the northern lights. But we will have more cloud in the mix across the north and the west of scotland, a bit of rain there moving across orkney and shetland. Further south, those Clear Skies, some Fog Patches most likely across parts of east wales, into the midlands, perhaps up into northern england, as well. Temperatures will dip away towns and cities around 5 6 celsius, some spots in the countryside i think could get quite close to freezing, say, across parts of northern england. Some early fog across parts of wales, the midlands, up into northern england, that will tend to clear, then well see lots of sunshine through the day tomorrow. A bit more cloud into the southeast corner, where it will be quite breezy. Could just see the odd Light Shower across kent and sussex. Also more Cloud Rolling in across the western and northern isles, Withjust The Odd Spot of rain some of that cloud quite low, could be quite misty and murky across, say, parts of shetland. But the north of mainland scotland, up to around 23 celsius it will be a warm day tomorrow. That warm theme continues into the middle part of the week, and actually, the cloud in Northern Scotland is set to retreat northwards. Could see a bit more in the way of low cloud, maybe some Mistiness Rolling in from the north sea. So, some patchy cloud here and there on wednesday, perhaps most especially across england and wales, Northern Ireland and scotland seeing a lot of sunshine, but it is a nice looking day. Quite breezy down towards the south that mightjust take The Edge off the temperatures, but still, 2a there in london, 23 across parts of Northern Scotland. As we head towards The End of the week, our area of High Pressure is set to shift northwards, and this low swirling across Iberia Mayjust Start to have an influence it might bring more in the way of showers into parts of england and wales, maybe Northern Ireland, as well, perhaps the odd thunderstorm.
