Ive interviewed limits of the world and rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma. I cannot remember how many times a young female marine that had been raped or sexually assaulted had told me that she looked at these guys as your brother or the suspect as your brother its a kin to what happens in a family with incest because you know in the military are one or functioning at our best piece of unit with brothers and sisters one of the band of brothers and sisters i mean we are family when that bond of trust is violated. I. The wound penetrates to the very most inner part. One soul one psyche. I have this folder that i keep i have all my boot camp letters sent from my mom and my sister and. People and. Just going through some of the stuff im like whats this you know nailed it im like oh my god. My suicide letter. Bomb im sorry for the grief that you must feel. Just because im gone physically doesnt mean i will be there spiritually i truly feel that god will take me without question even though i took my own life. Ive had the most broken thoughts of dreams and physical pain to remind me of the her if it acts upon me that happened while one of duty a mother brother sister and husband should never live with knowing the horrible acts upon me find peace in knowing that my bot that the body left behind doesnt consume my soul i am free now and im not afraid ready to soar courtin you know. They took a whole bottle of pills and woke up strangely enough im not sure why. I at that point in my life i just wanted to be over. And think i was 2021 and then. Within the next year id try to get in. I was going to. Overdose on pain medication and sleeping medication. And just hope that id fall asleep in my body it would just shut down or something. When i went to the doctor i had been feeling sick and dizzy and nazia ate it and. They took my urine and they told me that i was pregnant. I was like you know theres a life and there you know maybe her life will be better than mine and i got to make sure. That so. Very special. Sometimes it takes a different kind of action to cause change to calm. And sometimes. A loss. I grew up on military bases my dad was career army when i was a child when we answer the phone we just have to say colonel burks quarters and because of that i have as i have an understanding of the level of control that the military exercises that perhaps most in civilian life dont have. The fare structure and it is a judicial doctrine that was developed by the Supreme Court that says if youre in the military you cannot sue for something that happens to you thats incidental your military service if you military doctors amputate the wrong limb youre out of luck you cannot sue for that for that harm thats been done to you so we filed a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of 16 men and women seeking to bring former secretary rumsfeld and secretary gates to justice. I heard about the lawsuit and decided to become a part of it. Because i never wanted another woman to go through what i would. Be a lawsuit alleges that they have overseen a system that has deprived the rape survivors of their Constitutional Rights specifically we allege that they deprived them of their substantive due process procedural due process equal protection and 1st amendment rights. Me sick to see everybody stories. How they kind of closely tied together everybodys story somehow has that its consistent i think that the military does to People Like Us all the things that they put in place are all pretty much intended to help women deal with being raped better thats what theyre about. And join the military half way through my superior of high school wanting to serve my country and do new things and challenge myself in a different way. I was in the army about 7 or 8 years before anything ever happened to me. By another cia agent who was senior to me. I was contacted by an agent with 4 riley c. Id who said they were investigating the suspect as a serial rapist who had raped several military Law Enforcement women and i thought there was no way that you know she wouldnt be convicted and i have a difficult time with anything thats not the fact that i had an almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry and hes probably doing the same thing right now. It was a female attendant pull me aside and tell me that you know she had heard about my case and she thought she could talk to me is one female marine to another and she told me what he did was capitalize on an opportunity that you presented to him thats not the same thing as rape and you need to know. Him and they mean to go on a bike with him and try to having everybody advocate for me to not make me go so i just couldnt deal with seeing him so their solution to that was just to put him right in front of me so i could see him the whole time so that i could know where he was and know that he wasnt able to do anything to sit right in front of me and they remember thinking the entire time we were up on the hills and camp when they define steeper. Theres no way out of it i mean if you think about it the only way out of it is like a suicide or a wall so those are your only 2 options suicide it all or deal with it right now im just barely appreciating. Learning how to appreciate being a woman again thats 11 years and. And i have fun with it not forcing myself to have fun my. Im trying really hard not to cry but it just. You know and watching you girls having to. Go through what i did it makes me want to explode in here like knowing that me wanting to commit suicide im not alone me being hidden raped and not on everything the way that they treated me the way that they made me feel im not alone and we have all you guys with all your knowledge and everything you guys are going to stand right you know. I think the woman who are coming forward in this lawsuit are very courageous the cause theyre putting their names out there for criticism. Theyre putting their names out there to go down and his truth is they were the ones who got raped and theres one thing you want to go through life with. Us. 5 today i stand in solidarity with the courageous women and men who serve in our Nations Armed forces the inspirational plaintiffs you see before you are a small handful of the 10s of thousands of troops and veterans whove been sexually brutalized by their fellow Service Members while defending our nation it is time to finally acknowledge that the military judicial system is broken when it comes to these cases my name is and in my case my command was unwilling to help me i went for help several times with other petty officers and i i was denied help even with other men saying please get her away from him and it was it was still allowed many. People recently me dont go to the public dont let this get out because itll make the military look bad i really feel like mice. Social responsibility to speak out about this issue especially considering my investigative experience and the fact that the military Justice System allows so many offenders to escape justice. Thanks for being willing to fill me in a little bit on some of the experiences that i name is Regina Basque is and i served honorably in the United States for marine corps for 4 years let me miss corey chokin i served in the United States coast guard i was harassed and sexually assaulted i was administrative charges now going to 9 and a half years of Service Women should not bear their burden that is not part of what we should have been doing to do our jobs were home a criminal activity were talking about a vicious attack that is that is criminal it is an assault almost none of these is music or martial and all of the ones that do almost none of them result in convictions seems to me in all the time times that ive looked at these things and the command is the one who has so much discretion i think our advocate should actually be civilians not ones that work in the military i think we should have actual units civilian units it absolutely tears in my inside to think that this is been going on for as long as its been going on and weve never addressed all people in the military most know if you are a perpetrator of Sexual Assault against someone else military will be to you youre going to be held accountable. Is youll be a reflection of reality. Is. The world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation whole community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so well. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Aura maybe in the shallows. Time of the time called parisian to repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability space where man a more equitable and sustainable world. They claim their production is completely hamas. Because. It does not the Companies Want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is Something Else this must be going down even us i mean look. This is the moon we dont want anyone and einstein seemed to be understood so going in. And so cod age and i found it tremendously frustrating when i would demonstrate that an offender had committed enough found and taking it to a commander and having a commander be the deciding authority you know i dont think commanders are capable of making. An object of decision i dont i do not think it should be in their hands so he was just taking to discretion away from yes absolutely congresswoman davis and i are both on the Armed Services committee there are a number of issues that youve raised that makes you know me why. To go back and particularly take another look on an emotional one individual basis what happens after a crime like that has been committed its a very difficult thing to go through and dont think i dont know i know. The fact that youre willing to tell me your stories firsthand makes it much easier for us to go back and just say you know these are policies that we have to change its a big its a big big deal if you do it you really find people like you who stand up for us thank you so much for everything they do. To me. Thank you again for your Service Thanks for your time mr speaker last year the military received over 3000 reports of Sexual Assault involving other members into service this week 17 batteries are saying that the military ignored their cases of Sexual Assault while they were on active duty today im going to talk about the men corey chokher who served in the coast guard from august 2005 to june 2007 she now separates from p. T. S. D. And abnormal e. G. Did a nerve damage in her faith. Dzhokhar later told the press its like they didnt care it wasnt important i wasnt important. Going to get mail. There is my pay. This is a. Effective october 20th 2000 and i my overall combined rating is 70 percent. Week Service Connection for anxieties deny Service Connection for disc placement and bilateral bilateral this displacement is denied. Us. Oh my god i. Will be right there. My face doesnt have any desks in it thats what the x. Rays show thats what dr karp those letters show you do not medical or the winners its. Nice to see you again and thank you for coming im going to play a short Public Service announcement and then we can entertain questions i think the prevention aspect of Sexual Assault goes back in some ways to Risk Reduction what it what is Risk ReductionRisk Reduction are ideas like telling women to if theyre going to go somewhere together always have a buddy with them. Are there other examples of risk groups. I didnt im not familiar with thats out of my area of expertise. Well i want to continue where dr whitley left off looking at what our focus is and thats on prevention as well as as a response weve really done a very good job there and the credit goes to dr whitley and her staff that has been working this for the last 5 to 6 years i dont think the department of defense has has really yet embraced that they have a Sexual Assault problem that its not just an issue of the culture environment so that the people are at risk for Sexual Assault that their system itself though just does not value the rights of victims and doesnt provide the medical protection you know i have heard the accusations as well that you know commanders are sweeping this under the carpet now what i would say to the people that have come forward to you is if you feel your commander is ignoring what you have have asked them to do if theyre not taking care of you within that chain of command you need to go to the d. O. D. That are part of the fence Inspector General g. A. O. General Accounting Office just did a study a report and guess what not one. One case of more than 2500 has been reviewed and investigated by the Inspector General and when asked about that the Inspector General said we have other higher priorities what what you really want is you want there to be a system akin to a civilian system where you go to the police and youre in the crime is prosecuted by an impartial judicial system as a commander you have no favorites you are equally to take care of every Single Person in your organization thats what commanders are all about these are human beings just like everybody else you cannot be impartial when you are already involved with people in other settings i would take exception with your characterization that the disposition of the case is based on the relationship between the commander. And he alleged perpetrator c. Im going to speak to you with my former commanders had on there is absolutely no conflict of interest you do what the right thing is to do. You have other avenues and those if you feel like you have not been taken care of adequately by your commander go up through your congressman or congresswoman and file a complaint that way you cannot you cant go to a congressman to be to obtain justice for being raped i mean imagine how silly that is imagine if you told civilians that oh geez sorry you were raped go talk to your congressman. You could Say Something to this guy but what you want to see. I dont think its affected his life at all. And people in my old squadron that ive talked to. They say they dont see any effect that its had on him and that hurts. Because its a struggle every day thats clearly changed to i. Am really hoping that he falls off the coast guard but they never find him im really hoping for that like they fight for so poor mishap where he got chopped up by the prop. Big that would be great thered be an exciting day but i price over and. I hope this reaches them to you know i hope that somewhere someone sees my face you know wherever it is and goes. I know them and theyre talking about me. Because they know what they did you know and then although half the miter is the same friend they. Say we station with her. You know and then they can be a secret anymore. So hopefully they have to deal with it too you know some way shape or. Most rapists. Repetitive criminals that its a kind of crime that has an obsessive qualities to people do it again and again so the tragedy of that is that every one of these guys who gets off free will be doing it to other women again and again often for years. The average sex offender and your wife time has about 300 victims. The vast majority of sex offenders will never be caught a lot of civilians see it as being a military problem but it really is because 5 percent of reported offenders are convicted. So almost none of them wind up on the sex offender registry there is no military sex offender list that im aware of but if youre convicted in court a felony conviction of so. Next offense of a sex offense theyre going to go on the National List for any sex a bad words were correct that is not the case it depends on what level conviction they got if they received over a year then thats considered a felony but a lot of these cases are pled down so that theyre not felonies the military doesnt like to prosecute people and keep. As felony convictions i often ask myself the question why wouldnt why would they stop and if theres nothing to stop them like incarceration or some other light major life change theyre going to continue. If you run that the sexual predator through the judicial system and then you get a slap on the hand all youve done is youve done the equivalent of the catch release program youve caught and youve educated now you released him back in the home town america he now knows a lot more about the Law Enforcement judicial system than he did when he 1st started which makes him a much more capable criminal a much more dangerous criminal they go on to literally prey on women and men in our neighborhoods across the United States i mean if we dont care about women or men in the military then we should care about women and men in our girls and boys in our neighborhoods back home. Were. The thing that breadline going to anything about this story was the young women. We went in with such ideas and i want to serve my country i want to give back to see a Young Persons hope and idealism crushed in that brutal way i think we owe our young people love and that. Increasingly women are becoming some of the best trained professionals that we have in the military is a great soldiers and we cant afford to lose them. Cant have it here and try to get. People deeply believe in their hearts to serve their country they should be given that chance with respect. You know its part of really harm american way even though we just are purple hearts because we were wounded in time or in the give us one you know very just saying maybe there should be written for women you. Are served and she who have survived it is your. We have a good army a good military but not a great one and this is the kind of issue that keeps our military from being great. We can view this as a shared challenges not just a womens issue its not just something that the military has to deal with but as a society were all in this together. Its our national duty. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. The day or thinks. We dare to ask. Someone who was disillusioned. Suchi student with memphis mccomb the new movie from. Them on those who just cant stand for whatever they think they didnt feel that oh. Antarctica is a very International Community i. Mean a new strain of the trip with only 2 things to. Do this to the kids who keep it as the study says they need to eat. For the position of the will to use to cook a brazil so their Nuclear Cooperation in 1000 go is everything because he was deluded live in front of t. V. With the above the. Law of the heaven with effect of all day but i decided not to take his place. With my god didnt tell you that. Well coming up views from around the world live from Central London this is all to u. K. My genes to everybodys could be summed up in the phrase enjoy some of the sleep i mean just i do. Feel that its safe to go and enjoy themselves to enjoy a good time to cheat but its got to be done in a responsible way. Pubs bars and restaurants are set to reopen in england this saturday with the Prime Minister warning the public to behave sensibly to avoid a 2nd spike in the coronavirus. The government announces quarantine exceptions for dozens of countries for those arriving in england from july the 10th but the u. K. s home nations expressed frustration over a lack of communication to get the reaction of a troubled consultant. And u. K. Senators wrapped up in bright tape to boost the role that made ongoing covert 19 closures and call for the government to rescue the industry with the financial package. With england gearing up to reopen pubs and restaurants on saturday Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has issued a stark warning encouraging the public to behave sensibly to prevent a 2nd peak of coronavirus a shot it was daschle went to soho in Central London to find out how warm business is preparing for the big day. Well after a grueling 3 month wait brits are really now waiting for this moment in time where the reopening of pubs bars and restaurants is just around the corner as of tomorrow 1 im in the heart of Central London as you mentioned here at a restaurant that is preparing to reopen its stores typically it would be heaving with customers and tomorrow theyre hoping to emulate that vision but of course it comes with some strict measures the likes of Hand Sanitizer provided upon entry so try and space out the restaurant as well and Table Service isnt absolutely loves the restaurant like this usually has a capacity of 300 but because of the corona virus still being out there the capacity has now been reduced to 110 but it still means is financially viable to reopen the doors of a huge concern especially for the government and the Prime Minister is that theyre warning the public to try and be sensible to take it easy to avoid a 2nd spike my. Everybodys can be summed up in the phrase enjoy some of the safety i mean just i do want people to feel that its safe to go and enjoy themselves to enjoy the hospitality but its got to be done in a responsible way you know heads of parties go to give their name Contact Details everybody behind the behind the to the in the in the restaurant were going to be done go to observe and social distancing well im now joined by the head chef right here at our askew de Richard Dela Cruz joins me now the head chef thank you so much for speaking to us today of course not only. You its like im very excited to be honest. With. Yourself everyone here. And everything we bisect the rest of the time now. Moving everything in place to try to keep everyone safe exciting time to push even attention that measures have been put in place can you just expand what these measures. Well we follow in the goldman guidelines. Main one socialist and shes pretty much our priority here our hands and tyson everywhere cleaving cleaning clean. For us to keep everyone safe of course everyone safe also includes your stuff here at the restaurant how are you keeping them safe and making sure that theyre keeping the public safe as well well we create a massive assessment for them we run in checks weekly corner wire stairs we are running tests daily as temperatures we make them feel. How they feel today theyve been in contact with me in any sort of contagion maybe database many people would be a little bit worried about a 2nd spike in the fear in a fire and is that something of a concern to you just really a concern i mean that will destroy most most of the businesses and we dont want to be one of them thats why we hope and we do a number where were best to keep everyone safe at the moment of course its been a very challenging and difficult time going out of business almost for 3 months now how has it been for you over. We didnt recall for the 1st 2 months when we tried to run out a Delivery Business which is still going to be part of our business right now also trying to survive mainly try to get the dorsal fins to be able to be at or at the when everyone everyone is ready to start but of course looking forward to tomorrow were looking forward to more awaiting everyone here welcome and they think thank you so much and best of luck Going Forward tomorrow and in the near future so there you have it of course this restaurant is preparing to reopen its schools but not every single restaurant across england is able to do so of course many were not able to get their restaurants ready in time because the government only gave restaurants and hospitality sector the green light just around 10 days ago some that there was a closed but this restaurant will open that tools as of tomorrow a much needed boost for the economy but of course a much needed base for everybody craving a night out. Well even though measures are easing this saturday the majority of the population still feel apprehensive about some areas of normal life returning according to its source mores 3 and 5 people would feel uncomfortable about going to pubs and restaurants that figure is the same as it was back in may where 65 percent of respondents claims they would feel concerned about attending large gatherings while just over 60 percent would feel apprehensive about using public toilets also close to 60 percent of people said they would feel uncomfortable going abroad i was just under 60 percent would feel nervous about going to watch a film at an indoor cinema or going on a trip to the say as well we went to the center of londons nightlife district to find out what people left think personally i dont go to restaurants as much as the next i vish person was nice but i do think its very good it would help the business is exactly as especially business as you have had a rough time during this look down piece in a way its been a long time i think from what ive seen so far and how it looks like its going to be done and it does seem like because. This is the managers and me. That kind of take it quite seriously and think about you know how it can be done sensibly the nation needs to proceed with some degree of commonsense and some degree of caution it would be appalling to throw away in a mad rush the efforts that have been put in by our Health Service over many months when people will keep their distance and if they dont they dont i guess but you know life has got to come back at some point you want to complete a look down and nothing happens and all the pubs and bars go bust or you could have some kind of Halfway House i think. Or to discuss the implications of reopening i was joined by microbiologist dr simon clock he told me that as things start to reopen the u. K. Is more likely to see localized outbreaks than a nationwide spread of corona virus. Blue doctor is going to be used in some hoarding in a judgment call as the may as to where is safe in terms of how many people circulating in the copulation have got the virus we have a National Number but really the people circulating in the general population i not in Health Care Settings not to carry those people that have a relatively low incidence of the virus so the i mean it is a judgment call it is a matter of scientific or medical judgment in the line as to be drawn somewhere there is no way of knowing exactly what is safe from what is not because nobodys ever done anything like this before indeed and weve seen that as being a rise again in western theyve locked down there but can we expect a 2nd spike nationally. I think more likely youll see sites in certain areas like me having less that currently less there is where homes of the next biggest city in terms of town terms of numbers of infections and we hope it stays that way but i think its much more likely they will see localized outbreaks and of course that will be a marker of success in texas trace and i smoked system of course you might see quite a few localized spikes typically if the winter is use critiques that theyre certain may end up with the looking like most of the country is under some form of restriction but time works out well Health Process of also i warned the english public to drink sensibly over the weekend here to face the hospitals could become overburdened medics have claimed that accident and emergency can now only deal with half the number of patients going to the pandemic the president of the college of emergency medicine said the department is bracing themselves to deal with the fallout from seeing percent today she also said more staff will be working over the weekend to deal with the rising number as well i said dent and emergency consultant dr jordan grover told me he would have preferred the government to reopen pubs on a weekday. It is a bit sort i think considering that there are still cases in the community there are still some areas much higher activity and activity. You recently heard lock down in pools and locally in leicester so is it the right time to open perhaps a little early but you know there are certain areas where holt yes the Community Spirit is low. And therefore my concern is more also on the fact. That decision to open books has been done on a saturday. That i dont any thought given to hold the Emergency Services to look. At things on saturday we did this needs to a 2nd spike in infections or our medics price for that 2nd fight has always been on the cards and the recent below it is that even with the best estimates we suspect to anything between 80 to 90 percent thought population of the United Kingdom has not been exposed to corridor which means them but you know. Best of 45 for people are still vulnerable to it and hence you know we have to be very cautious do you have any advice and quick advice from members of the public this weekend. The gentle British Public has been very good for the vast majority have taken our social distancing handwashing. Ways to heart and thats whats helped us curb the spike in the epidemic and i would suggest that if you do go target sensible maintain your distance dont overdo it. However the pubs way theyre reopening the english city of leicester where lock down measures have been reimposed and one neighboring city has gone to extreme lengths to keep nest americans out of their locals. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please please. Please please. Please. Let. Still to come this hour. Government is up to lift the 2 week quarantine for people traveling to england from dozens of destinations. Youre allowed to look at least they should have occupied territory use illegal under International Law but this is exactly what it is religions to do when it comes to the west on this edition of the program we discussed why israel is doing this International Reaction in the state i was. Told welcome back from july the tense the u. K. Government will lift its mandatory 14 day quarantine on those returning to england from more than 50 countries effectively giving the green light for foreign holidays however the 1st minister of scotland Nicola Sturgeon has criticised westminsters humbling of the policy. Weve often had limited or no notice of the u. K. s proposals and that matters because some of the judgements involved here are difficult and complex and just to illustrate the point about the Shifting Sands of the u. K. Governments position the list of countries that they were yesterday demanding that the Scottish Government signed up to in suggesting that we would have a barrier to getting agreement on is not the same as the list that we have shared with us today so we need as the Scottish Government to analyze these proposals properly and rationally and we need to do that obviously from a Public Health perspective but we also need to do that from a legal perspective all of these decisions and of course potentially open to legal challenge and when so much is at stake as it is right no we can to lower sales to be dragged along in the we call of another government to be quite frank about it shambolic Decision Making process or may well whilst 1st minister mount great food has also described his dealings with the u. K. Government about averages as an impossible and utterly shambolic experience for transport secretary grant shapps so there were still time for developed nations to join the scheme before it came into force. This isnt coming into the 10 to july the end of the current team on those 50 or so across countries and so theres still time for other parts of of this one nations to decide to join. Well among the exemptions are france spain and italy popular destinations for britons on less on the holidays those coming from greece or cyprus are also exempt from quarantine despite u. K. Holiday makers currently prevented from arriving better but those that come into the u. K. From singapore one of the countrys best responding to the pandemic still need to spend 14 days in isolation prompting confusion about the logic behind the decision. Im are joined by travel consultant and i want to quarantine campaign of paul Child Support frankie for joining us good news for those looking to salvage a Summer Holiday abroad but youre still not entirely happy. Well it is good me is that the government lifted the blanket quarantine measures from friday to 10th of july thats what weve been campaigning full and its major progress of the governments actually produced a list which shows the number of countries that britons are able to visit and those countries as are able to come to the k. So im not from just really good but theres certainly some concern about some of the countries missing from this list such as portugal which nobody can understand really why the chills been missed all there other countries missing like canada which is a surprise even the mole leaves bearing in mind that the seychelles is on this list so definitely some discrepancies on this and theres also some other confusions as well i mean singapore those coming from Singapore Still have to quarantine for 2 weeks. Yes thats right and the government claims that it following the advice joined by a Security Center and the experts who are putting together the trajectory numbers if you like in the number of cases in each country and i think some countries may question the list and i think theres already concern i know been raised from portugal to the government about why theyve been missed doc theyre not happy at all so i would expect pretty phone calls over the next few days as countries jostle to get onto the list because being on that list is actually also an economic bonanza dont forget the power of the british pound abroad is enormous when tourists turn up in a country so big mistah can be very costly and also have to the quarantine may bring more people here to the u. K. But why would somebody go to a country just to quarantine in that hotel for 2 weeks. While quite a night and the very word quorums if this is one of the issues weve got a lot of the very word quarantine puts off people from traveling nobody wants to be stuck in a room for 14 days or in that zone for 14 days longer may need to know the word quarantine kills travel and we all know that these measures were put in place to delay it in the 1st place in this country they should have been built in place in march as the wisest countries in the world did scotland or wales are keeping that quarantine in place other being too cautious are they right to be frustrated by the u. K. Government. Well its a diplomatic. Collision is more women are in go out and the word shambolic is rarely used between ministrations and governments a pretty strong response clearly theres been a lack of communication and to be honest theres been a lack of communication throughout this process but a u. K. Government we should never have been in this mess in the 1st place so its understandable west scotland wales northern not in the coming from in terms of not having a site early enough of the plans by the u. K. Government but you know they need to bang their Heads Together and comes a solution pretty quickly the whole point of travel is that that is united you cant just shut borders have different rules across the u. K. In one part of the u. K. And not in another it makes for confusion among consumers and thats no way to boost the travel industry at a time when so many jobs need to be used and depend on it i find it very briefly if you dont mind for those that take the risk on but the holiday abroad what protections are operators giving customers a case of cancellation very brief. Well clearly a lot of operators are now saying that you can get refunds much more quickly or you can change to another date in the future electability is key for the best operators so that consumers can be reassured or charles thank you very much abbi for talking to us. About the National Carrier so c. H. And says u. K. Officials have put lives at risk by issuing incorrect reassurance about personal protective equipment the organization discovered that official guidance which said out of date mask worst safety use was incorrect this was revealed after the government issued a recall notice to care homes and local doctors practices in june at the peak of the pandemic many care homes reported that personal protective equipment was being diverted to n. H. S. Hospitals doesnt result they experienced shortages of masks gloves and goggles the British Medical Association said its a dereliction of duty not to ensure the safety of patients and staff. These reports if true or not being short of a National Scandal if doctors and Health Care Workers have been supplied with and warm altie redated masks this is clearly a dereliction of duty to ensure the safety of n. H. S. Staff and patients suggestions that these faults we know about in may and your action is only now being taken or alarming or maybe while the government claims the issue is now resolved the safety of frontline staff has been a priority throughout this unprecedented pandemic after being made aware of the defect with some Cardinal Health type i r surgical masks we urgently issued advice last week to Health Care Providers to check if their stock included these masks and to dispose of them the issue is now resolved or expert in Communicable Diseases dr barrett cannier told me the government needs to admit its mistake to avoid people using belief in the system. Im so disappointed even listening to that answer when the minister said this matter is now resolved well the matter is not resolved because initially out of date masks were issued and then the statement was made that actually we have quit tested them. And that these masks are ok well theyre not having said that sorry ferial isnt soon having said that in june they now say we need to withdraw this mask so theres a lot of loss of trade and you need to answer this rather than to say the matter has now been resolved or doctors being issues with out of date mass thats also been a problem for the local doctors the local g. P. s as well hasnt it indeed and so we heard the report from the British Medical Association saying you know this is unacceptable and i agree the unacceptability is as follows you dont reassure in the one hand and then months later you would draw it and then subsequently say the matter is resolved we need transparency we need honesty we need candor it would be much better to say we made a mistake. Theaters across the u. K.
