This morning that 2 mosque men injected when she arrived to. What she thought was going to be a fashion shoot then woke up in the boot of a car and coughed and with tape on her mouth it was horrible I was so drugged up so I I didn't like process that automatically but I was trying to shout and trying to find my way out but I didn't know what was happening the car was moving the car was moving on the radio was blaring as well so I couldn't really get the attention so I had to really raise my voice like driver driver where our way and then it took a while for them to actually pull over the car and come around the back and then when they put the pillow over I saw for the gap that they put an empty suitcase above it and at that point I didn't for that I was going to die because whatever reason what they put an empty suitcase about myself was what you thought was your car from here I just want I was hoping for like. None painful or police in Italy have confirmed that the story is credible one of charged a man called Lucas with kidnapping and extortion because being criticized for going to shopping with her although she says he threatened to kill her if she tried to escape she also admitted she slept in the same bed in and a warning that what she says is upsetting and frightening I went to the bar from our state on down my hand cuffs and then when I came back he said I don't have to put the money on any marking go and have half of the beds so of course I didn't question him I wasn't in a position to be like to pick and choose where I sleep of course I'm going to go straight there and it's Anything's better than sleeping handcuffed to furniture on the floor so of course I took it did he make any sexual advances towards c. And he would hint but then again I would say only I'm not in the right frame of mind at the moment I need to be released and maybe in the future so you you knew your life was in this man's hands I suppose you had to keep him or he was like it's my freedom I had to do everything I can to give him happy one of one of the reasons that is given for why he decided to back. Was that you're a mom Yeah and you have a little boy. Apparently that was Norm by your abductors That's right do you think that was a key element of everything yeah because he said the reason that he canceled the parachute was because he was searching my Instagram see and I had pictures of me pregnant and with my son he said that he sent out an e-mail after saying that this girl mustn't be kidnapped but then the 2 Romanians that apparently took me. For said must. Did he tell you. To tell you what the intention was for after they kidnap to have sex trafficking he said I would be so somewhere in the Middle East a man would use the girls for about 3 months pass them around the relatives and friends and then when I eventually bored of the girls and they just fade into the tiger's once the model Chloe ailing talking on i.t.v. He's this morning. John. Is in the us and. It's coming up on 7 minutes past 4 now Tony Blair's Sports Foundation is to end its work in the north east a decade after it was set up by the former prime minister the accent field m.p. Established the foundation back in 2007 to encourage more children to take part in sports in our region but Mr Blair says it's now come to the end of it's not true a life however it was just under 3 years ago in November 24th teen that Mr Blair told b.b.c. Newcastle of his plans to expand the foundation we're supporting some really really great efforts of a local level and the children get so much out of it and you know sort of people doing cycling earlier today and these are kids who are never normally taking up cycling were doing it that is having a big impact on them so I think we should just expand and probably take it as I say throughout the country if we can while Baroness Hilary Armstrong is chair of the foundation we have a great friend but we're trying. And when we talk to you know when they appear. That. They know me and we're really close who with a whole different all different organization. In the northeast but really we either had to train on the country or who told quite honestly. Tully has put a lot of his own grenade and a lot of commitment into the foundation but it's run its course. Completely So we spoke to Tony here at p.b.c. New car and he said the plans were to expand the foundation across the country it was not possible to say that out it wasn't really that was him recognising that we go in though mostly good things and I think that you've heard all his say you know for the whole minds of different people and organizations that we've worked with in the region just how successful it was but in order to expand it you would need the lot more money time effort to people than we could really summon up between us so. We look as usual and we've tried to look at different ways but as I say it's been a great 10 years we've seen over 6000 good people you know cared about their children over to that children's activity about the activity of the cloak that they were taking my children to we've seen over 6000 of them being trying many of level what they called Level one cult and that's made a huge difference to the property citizens who are in our region is that the legacy that the foundation will leave then. We've also changed the way. Some of what you call the government bodies or people who were on athletics to learn tennis or rather rowing in which they've changed the way they run courses Further there are more accessible to you know ordinary folk who are not sporting fanatics but who are prepared to give an hour chill we just make sure that but to a youth club or able to do more and you know when I listen rely on. Foundation though don't they rely on the foundation to be there to help them is not going to leave them a bit high and dry Well I think. To really cross but. At one level it's a. Keep going but it's just. That's Baronesses Hillary Armstrong there the chair of the Tony Blair Sports Foundation and also the former Labor m.p. Of course for Dharm northwest and I'm a little I'm frank I am trying to think I suspect she is the only person who can claim to have beaten 2 Future Party leaders because when she won in 1902 young lad called to foreign Yanni from liberal Democrats and the woman standing for the conservatives was a sense reason why. And she beat both of them and there can't be can't be many M.P.'s who can claim that. Some story. Has just gone on today's Northeasterners 50 years ago today that Britain's pirate radio stations were outlawed in the 1960 is they changed the face of broadcasting offshore stations that pride continues music and launched the careers of presenters like Tony Blackburn John Peel Kenny Everett and sa but then postmaster general Tony Benn part of her Wilson's government introduced the Marine Offenses Act which forced most to climbed close down to market looks back to a pivotal era in broadcasting. I remember going out from heritage and seeing this little boat floating around us all this is going to alter the whole of all cause in this country. Tony Blackburn's prediction was right in the early sixty's the b.b.c. Place hardly any pop commercial radio was banned by broadcasting from international waters pirate stations like Caroline Radio London and swinging radio England exploited the. Paul we were 3 and a half miles off the coast of France and we flew under the Panamanian flag now if anybody went on the boat from this country it was like declaring war on Panama. This was radio Caroline's London h.q. Where Tony Blackburn had his 1st audition did you have any sense of what a big deal this is going to be for you and the pop culture yes. I really saw that this was going to be the start of something very big good morning everyone Tony Blackburn here with a little under the weather this morning we go to validate. Their. Broadcasting pop music from ships like this out at sea the pirate stations were very popular but on land they weren't just winning over millions of fans they also faced a powerful enemy the government. Of parents are diminished and I don't believe a tool that the public wouldn't support action to enforce the law at midnight sun the 14th of August $967.00 the Marine Offenses Act became law it was now illegal for British citizens to work on the ships or to supply them Johnny Walker had recently joined Caroline Chinese look at the look so you. Haven't changed from. There were fun times here and I'm sure there are those in the government the really liked the fact there were parts on the air and certainly the young people and their families all loved it bridged all generations and all social classes many pirate stations packed up but Caroline continued broadcasting from the sea until 9091 could further into international waters to avoid u.k. Regulations this ship the Ross Revenge was it Studio throughout the eighty's This is Caroline. It's recently returned to the water what we wanted in there is return the ship very useful broadcasting purpose for us while we dine out on our nostalgia . Which is so important we with her want to know. The future this is radio caroline the sound of the who. We. Having been streamed online since the late ninety's the station's just been granted a new broadcast license 50 years after the law the choice of Britain's pop pirate are back on the water. In a sudden social slant of a new report from sorry too much from Tim Moffat you also heard from for a breather more the owner of Radio Caroline that's a pretty good story Barbara impose it's harder to put that voice on than actually be natural. I love how you stick your head out like a toy or you go do you know that's what the year that's all the deejays do anyway our reporter Peter parolee you might have heard him on the Breakfast Show this morning he's been on board that boat all day we're going to be hearing from him in about an hour's time fun I was going on it and still to come before half past 4 we ask our political reporter why Westminster will sound a strangely silent over the next few years just gone quarter past 4 the top stories on b.b.c.

Newcastle's right Mostyn It's coming up on 20 past 4 now the ugly side of football reared its head out the weekend after Middlesbrough beach Sheffield United one nail on Sunday at the Riverside violence erupted in the coach park and the coach park outside of the ground while reporter Steve Mackey from b.b.c. Is with us now good evening Steve 1st of how did all of this unfold then getting to you well the start of it all appeared to be on the pitch and this was just minutes from the end of the game when this happened Bora need to hold x. Their lead by a goal to nil Hey comes the free kick to the lot of holes don't know what the world is up to the world come to end the flag is up the celebration is in the works for the work you were on the willpower you're going there were they late for your call to nail the words called a call I guess what the fireworks went up from the ones we know listen they are so we were able to get the game on the way she did want to play just still celebrating their funds all the advertising holding cell. So as you heard there are a few Sheffield United fans run onto the pitch to celebrate with their players and all in vain it seems and then that was the catalyst for what happened afterwards and as the fans left the stadium and headed towards the coach part violence flared and it was a frightening situation which left several people injured including a 10 year old fun and it also left a police officer needing hospital treatment will bear a fine Chris Davey from Sedgefield was on the coach which was among several vehicles that were attacked were right next to where the white fans coaches and against the fence and then home car parts of it where the white coaches there was just hundreds and hundreds pulling on the fence Sharon against people going past and they were all shattered you know if and lights were out there was a lot of scuffles with stewards and police trying to calm people down and then the gates into the carpark suddenly opened they were throwing things at the coaches a couple of bricks were thrown at our coach I think one of the windows got a crack in it one actually hit the window right next to where myself and my wife were sitting on the couch it was quite frightening quite a shock and there would yelling abuse and so throwing things and just stopping people and kicking cars absolute mayhem I've just never seen anything like it so then see what it is both the clubs in the police have to say about all of this well as you can imagine both clubs have condemned what happened more from the clubs in a moment but 1st this is what the system Chief Constable of Cleveland police Jason Harwin had to say I was actually the coach part when all the violence kicked off in my 25 years of service having placed a number of crowns in South Yorkshire some of the worst I've seen where ultimately individuals and I won't call in football fans over me targeted over genuine supporters particularly children and it's not acceptable majority were from Sheffield and South Yorkshire we did see some of the middle spirit mature individuals play they've got no place in football and we need to make sure we do our part working with the clubs working with South Yorkshire placement point working with our supporters to make sure they play no longer have a place in football but we saw such late thankfully is a rare occasion. Assistant Chief Constable of Cleveland police Jason Harwin there now in a statement from middles before ball club it says it deplores the behavior of those involved and that it will do its utmost to ensure they're identified and the appropriate action taken the statement continues we pride ourselves on being a family club and there is absolutely no place for incidents of violence or threatening behavior Sheffield United has issued a similar statement it also says it's working to identify the troublemakers and bring them to justice which may include the potential use of banning orders meantime 6 people have so far been arrested one of those a 47 year old from Sheffield has been charged with a public order offense and have we heard from the f.a. At all. Yes we have a sport earlier this afternoon this say they're working with both clubs on the police in order to identify those responsible we also spoke to the Football League as well they say while it is a matter for the f.a.a. They are monitoring the situation Steve many thanks that's our reporter Steve Mackey there from our sister station b.b.c. . The 2nd it's still the shortcakes school the fastest in our vegetable town. House. Grow with a little help from the. John Guy said mutinous 9 o'clock on Sunday mornings. Tennis. Radio for the Northeast just coming up to 25 past 4 on today's ne Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has admitted he was wrong to try to change the names to James's Park Mr Ashley also said he'd been too hasty in sacking Sam alibis and he was open to offers for the club as he's nowhere near wealthy enough to compete with Manchester City and Chelsea and clubs like that he told Sky Sports he's hoping for stability this season we've managed through when the championship get ourselves back in the Premier League and please God the one now after they were again are just you know are no to Newcastle fans won't want to hear it but for this reason I just would like to bury I'd like to be mid table safe back on that path of growing that football club What a question every one of those Newcastle fans I suspect going to be asking is how much money will he make available to manager Rafa Benitez Well Mike Ashley as always is pretty blunt very simple it's not enough every penny that your club generate free can have but one generate enough it's new call for United are going to make it crystal clear I am nowhere near wealthy enough in football now to compete with the likes of Man City except for not just Man City were. Basically it's a wealthy individual taking on a quiver of countries I cannot I cannot and I will not here and that's why if somebody currently would like to come along and take this seat and sit here and unfun Newcastle with the North on the end with their wealth more than me I will not stand a new car for United's wife so I think the Newcastle fans are going to have we're going to be together for a good while longer and we've got the the man himself in the moment in Rafa and let's hope that we can generate some funds and we can do some stuff and we can get referee and give him the some chance to get some building blocks going over the coming years so it would be quite nice if we could Rafa. United Mike Ashley Don't forget total sport here just after half past 5 with Simon broad I'm sure we'd have to. Well from next week a trip to London won't sound quite the same. Because the Chimes of Big Ben are being silenced from major conservation work on the tower which houses the pound the clock will resume its regular time keeping G.-D's either until 2021 so next week you being invited to mark the final bangs in Parliament Square we can cross now to Westminster and speak to our political reporter Shannon Gray's check Shawn what's wrong with the clock then why is he going to be out of action for so long well Rebecca quite simply big band and the tower in which it's in which is called Elizabeth Tower they're just very old and in desperate need of repair and maintenance the great bell which we heard there has sounded only our 457 years and there's nothing actually wrong with that all the other bells in the clock tower they don't need repairing it's actually the mechanism the. Causes the clocks to tick and the hammers to hit the bells that need to work they need to be silenced because it would be deafening for the workmen if they were still ringing out as that work was being carried out now the last time Big Ben fell silent was back in 2007 before that the made for major refurbishment between 1995 so it's really been a while since the last lot of improvements were made and I know it's out of the office and walked up there earlier on and you can already see the scaffolding that has started to be put up and certainly tourists do look a little bit disappointed when they're lifting their cameras up because there's no way you can't really get the scaffolding out of the picture at the moment what will the work involve then well there's a real range of issues that have built up over time there's a long list of things and obviously it's going to take until 2021 you get to an idea as to just how much needs to be done they need to do things like make the tower compliant with the latest fire safety regulations things like that but Parliament's principal architect Adam the tribes explained what's going to happen we're going to start at the top and we're going to start with a cast on roofs at the top which leak of course and then we're going to work our way down and there are various problems with stone work water ingress the bell frame on sation inside and we're also going to provide new immunities for the Clockmaker there's no toilet up there believe it or not there's no kitchen facility either so you can't make a cup of tea even so good news for the Clockmaker on 2 fronts there can only imagine the hassle he or she has if they fancy a brew at the moment the thought no toilet or kitchen at the top of their I mean what would they think you know so is that it then shown complete silence then for the next 4 years well thankfully not if you are a fan of the chimes they will be brought back for New Year's Eve celebrations and also remember on Sunday as well so it will be completely silent but certainly on a day to day basis I think it will be fairly strange not to hear those bones is the . Then part of the wider restoration programme that's going on at the Houses of Parliament Well this project is not part of the wider work that's not expected to start until the 20 twenties and we don't yet know whether that might mean having to relocate all of our M.P.'s to another size at now the feasibility study of big bed in the tower has shown that the work that is about to start can't be delayed just because it requires such urgent attention and the bangs will sound for the final time at midday on Monday before being disconnected to allow the work to get underway and they are encouraging anyone who might be in the local area if they want to be there for that moment than there encouraging them to come along show on is John here just one thing will you make sure you get a recording of the bombs now and then do it again in 4 years time because I've heard the the bombs are going to sound slightly different because it's not so much . The Rideau that would be interesting yeah I think I need to get out there with the troops or can I clean them up the sound. That you could there's a topic on right back on Monday. You very well. That's our political reporter in Westminster Shannon there so that's it then John the bangs of Ben not going the wrong is about the bangs of Barack to be. Yeah yeah. Is that we should have done there's a good line in there so.

Newcastle Shelvey regrets what happened. When all this is clear but it will not change the usual rules of the rules but if you see the tackle of hurricane from behind to legend has to be changed I think that if you know how you think it is one action under one maybe you have some thoughts about Sunderland manager Simon Grayson has told b.b.c.

New Castle essential northeast travel. The Northeast was the worst affected region in England when it came to rural crimes last year according to new figures out today from the National Farmers Union the number of reported incidents was up by 9 percent in our region last year and that figure is continuing to go up as well with a 20 percent increase already this year and that's now leading to concerns that a new wave of rule crimes hitting countryside the figures. Released by the n.f.u. Warn of criminals staking out real real properties with many targeting Landrover as tractors tools as well as livestock and that's despite the increased security on people's properties well hands picks and is a farmer in the Thumble intimate also previously the county chairman often assemblance And if you pay Like many farmers has experienced the ongoing fight against criminals at his property they get really annoyed of the farmer because you know we do have quite a bit of money invested and that's of machinery and to things like that our properties are quite vulnerable in my time of farming I've lost A.T.V.'s on a couple of occasions monarchy has not got them back that seems to be in very easy targets for people to still recall quite a few cases where livestock trailers for example have been stolen you know these are. Easy targets for seeds to get hold of makes it uncomfortable you know because you never know who's Some of creeping around. In the quite isolated situations but please can we can't expect them to be everywhere but you know we can help them by telling them when things have happened and they see things that don't seem to be quite right we do get the occasional odd looking van coming up into a farm driving in and having a look round and driving out again happens the police are really happy if we phone them up and tell them what sort of people it was what the registration plate was how many people were in a van because what were they doing I think things have increased lately in this specially in the north east here I think it's a sign of the times that you know it's an easy target you know and it's easy to sell these things again and I think we should also be very careful searchers of secondhand betrayer that we know where it's come from and that it's actually straightforward deal if somebody comes to your farm and tries to sell you an a.t.v. We get it from you know we should be very careful who to deal with I think. Than a thimble and pecks in that what outfits can you remember wearing. With. This particular Tarrytown entrancing.

Morrow morning e.t.c New Castle radio for the northeast John Bax with you till half past 5 in total support with Simon bride just into the new season already lost to talk about from yesterday Well yes I was on the train yesterday I started making a mental list yesterday evening all the things we're going to talk about there today and there is still more sense that of course as well what with Jose Louis Stoke City forward looking to be joining Newcastle has been on Science Out for a medical today so we'll talk about that what he might bring to the club but also yet the games yesterday both games from a Newcastle point of view the sending off of Jonjo Shelvey and the other challenges in the game as well some people suggesting hurricane should maybe have been sent off for the tackle which left Florian injured and he's going to miss a good few weeks now as well so there's lots for Rafa benítez to cope with is going to be without Jonjo Shelvey suspended is going to be without. As well both of them picked up injuries in the game yesterday so not the start of the Premier League season at Newcastle United wanted I'm sure lots of people will have lots to say to under tonight about that from a similar point of view well it started pretty well as 3 competitive games to picture it in a draw the $31.00 win at Norwich City yesterday perhaps the most impressive performance thus far as well a couple of goals for Lewis Graben who is certainly impressing as well so we'll get some of the fans reflections on that he'll hear from both the managers say here a bit from sign. With Grayson a bit from Rafa Benitez's well will round up all the rest of the the weekend sporting action and we will choose performance of the weekend to of course bring him all right last a drug that was Simon prior to me was to hear from you of course comparing just after half past 5 when I'm 12326565. 6. Now. This is our line to drink sensibly in the airport our. Only goal getting tanked up for take off and boozing on board has been a hot topic for discussion today it comes after research for tonight's program a program's found the number of passengers arrested for being drunk at airports in the u.k. And on outbound flights has risen by more than half over the last year the figures from 18 police forces with a major airport in the area show a 51 percent rise however here in the Northeast the number of arrests is low Newcastle ample record a 12 drunken disorderly arrests in the airport in 2014 that number dropped to 13 and 2015 and to 19 last year when it comes to drunk incidents on aircraft though the number on getting smaller and also showing a drop Graham Mason is from Newcastle applejack 2 percentage of people that are causing a problem with tiny I mean we calculated in July of this year that Northpoint Norte nor warm the percentage of passengers so it's very small and it's pleasing to say the Northumbria police figures were you know they're indicating that it's going down I would expect that when those figures come out the 17 gone down but we're not complacent you know we are working very closely with the police with the airline the handling companies operators of the bars to make sure that any issues as they crop up on the plane the boat. Well Daryn police which covers Durante's for the airport says that over the last 3 years they've never made the arrest on a flight and just one in the airport Samik a steno from Northumberland worked as cabin crew for 13 years until 2011 the training flight coming Crow it's pretty intensive like it's training conflict management training restraint as well so you have possibly restrict its own court so you go through drills and loads of like train and sell a how to instruct your ice and they do like it comes in really handy as cover crew right like when you when you're in port you're pretty go to church in like situations you're watching them all the time when they get on board the aircraft you can say that that maybe had a few too many when they got on so a majorly Obviously you don't know you are that you keep one eye on that situation going on watching them are reasons so yes they're aggressive it's a quite call if they're a phone you know like a phone drunk or an aggressive drunk Michael from Pinot field rang the b.b.c. Castle to tell us about his experience of a drunk passenger so I was on the end of the seats aisle between me and the passenger. The way you know we have where it's kept falling over the whole aisle full of people I don't have much I have been on the plane and she was satisfied and she just told me to not see out the set. And then all of a sudden I got this long. Cheerio something and she literally outside of cheer was upset poetic Alaskan for why as well fill Ward is the managing director of jet to the 1st line to ban sales of alcohol on flights before 8 am He says it's the apples which need to act I think to do more research is to turn around. The home turf as well as the parents I think we have to take a stand we will issue a sanction to across the world and stop somebody from flying home if necessary and we have a shooting like Tom. And that was echoed recently in the House of Lords Select Committee as well looking into licensing which said that and ports needed to bringing into line the government said there would be practical problems with enforcement in the voluntary code of practice was working Baroness McIntosh was head of the committee we didn't hear one shred of evidence to show the code was either working no or heard any possible vestige of success in working any choice so meanwhile the incidence of I rage goes up daily or I would urge on behalf of the committee the Home Office to really really take this problem seriously when the Home Office says it is carefully considering all of the committee's recommendations and will respond in due course the final decision is expected in the autumn. B.b.c. Newcastle Northeast weather but just coming up to 5 o'clock his Paul Mooney with news of some decent August sunshine a little bit of everything and join the weather continues this really unsettled spell Yes we'll see some sunshine Yes we'll see some August rain as well no end of the mostly dry and great at the minute I just your show here and there but greatness for most of us to end the day we head through the evening or the cloud thinking is up again and overnight most will have a spare a furphy and we have a fairly persistent rain for a few hours with all that close and to say that westerly breeze attempters will hold up around 13 Celsius through the night there overnight rain will start to clear the way fairly quickly tomorrow morning we'll start to see some get sunny spells develop that sunshine will as the temp just arrives which in turn will trigger a few shows as we head into the afternoon so one of 2 of those shows could be on the heavy side maybe even a rumble of thunder but having said that will still be some decent sunny spells and between those showed clouds so with a ways to save westerly breeze we should see afternoon highs to model run of it named teen Celsius it Wednesday will start off dry and great rain spreads and from the West late in the day and then Thursday and Friday the. And sunshine I think this show is more than prolonged more widespread on Friday there as you will more likely see some heavier ones and the winds will tend to pick up at times later in the week as well so as to say that beginning that's the very unsettled but that spells will see some decent periods of August sunshine the mean time it's safe to cross from all the islands from no until 25 minutes past 6 this evening you mention thunder I've just come back from a fortnight in France and I saw one of my favorite weather phenomena and I think lightning it's really spectacular sure there's some science behind it but it was during the afternoon here and it was really it had been very very warm in harness a classic sort of summer you know but it was coming towards the beginning leave me I don't know if asked why I was saying Yeah I suppose it may be I'm guessing that's probably the sun like human flu their clothes are just a few years away and it was one of those days where there were you know you could see a thunderstorm or there the sun was shining way out of you know it's either thunderstorm just 34 miles from the storms or funny things you either love them here or here some people think they're fantastic and other people like them but I thought I thought it was great right up until it happened in the middle of the night well there are a heck of a start.

News some essential ne travel. Ailing the model who claimed she was kidnapped in Italy and held hostage has given her 1st t.v. Interview she told i.t.v. This morning that 2 mosque men injected her when she arrived to what she thought was going to be a fashion shoot but then woke up in the boot of a car handcuffed and with tape on her there was horrible I was so drugged up so I I didn't like process it was a matter gray but I was trying to shout and trying to find my way out but I didn't know what was happening the car was moving the car was moving on the radio was blaring as well so I couldn't really get the attention so I had to really raise my voice like drive a driver. Way and then it took a while for them to actually pull over the car and come around the back and then I was when they pull over I saw for the gap that they put an empty suitcase above it and at that point I fought that I was going to die because whatever reason what they put them to secrete about my thought is I thought that was what you thought was your cough and yeah yeah I just want I was hoping for like. A long painful or police in Italy have confirmed that the story is. Credible and charged a man called Lucas herber with kidnap and extortion because he's been criticized for going shoe shopping with her bolo She says he had threatened to kill her if she tried to escape she also admitted she slept in the same bed as him and a warning that some of what she says is upsetting and frightening I went to the bar from after he'd undone my handcuffs and then when I came back he said I don't have to put the money on any marking go and have half of the bed so of course I didn't question him I wasn't in a position to be like to pick and choose where I sleep of course I'm going to go straight there and it's Anything's better than sleeping and got a furniture on the floor so of course I took it did he make any sexual advances towards you know he would hint but then again I would say only I'm not in the right frame of mind at the moment I need to be released then maybe in the future so you you knew your life was in this man's hands I suppose you have to keep him or he was like it's my freedom I had to do everything I can to keep him happy one of one of the reasons that is given for why he decided to do back was that you're a mom Yeah and you have a little boy. And apparently that wasn't the norm by your abductors That's right do you think that was a key element of everything yeah because he said the reason that he cancelled the parachute was because he was searching my Instagram saying that I had pictures of me pregnant and with my son so he said they sent out an email after saying that this girl mustn't be kidnapped but then the 2 Romanians that apparently took me. For him are said last did he tell you. To tell you what the intention was after they kidnapped you their sex trafficking he said I would be so somewhere in the Middle East the men would use the girls for about 3 months pass them around the relatives and friends and then when they eventually board of the girls and they just gave them to the Tigers that's the model ailing talking on i.t.v. News this. Is nosy John Barrowman b.b.c. . Revealing the North Sea. Now after a decade of work across the northeast Tony Blair as a Sports Foundation has closed its doors the Accenture field m.p. And former prime minister established the foundation back in 2007 to encourage more children in our region to take up sport but Mr Blair says it's now come to the end of its natural life however it was just under 3 years ago back in November 2040 that Mr Blair told b.b.c. Council of his plans to expand the foundation we're supporting some really really great efforts of the local level and the children get so much out of it and you know sort of people doing cycling earlier today and these are kids who never normally take up cycling or were doing it to begin packed on them so I think we should just expand that probably take it as I say throughout the country become more Baronesses Hillary Armstrong is chair of the Sports Foundation we haven't grown from war but we're trying to. And when we to. To tell me last year we made it clear to Hayden that we did she was an enormous amount of work very closely with a whole range of different both as different organizations different schools in the northeast but really we either had to change fundamentally or we have to be folded to quite honestly our tally has put a lot of his arms around me and a lot of commitment into the foundation but it's run its course. Completely So I we spoke to Tony here at p.b.c. New career and he said the plans were to expand the foundation across the country and what was not possible to set out it wasn't really that was him recognising that we go in though mostly good things and I think that you've heard all his say you know for the whole minds of different people and organizations that we've worked with in the region just how successful it was but in order to expand it you would need the lot more money time effort people than we could really summon up between so. Relocated your We've tried to look at different ways but as I say it's been a great 10 years we've seen over 6000 good people who just cared about their children over to that children's activity about the activity of the clothes that they were taking my children to we've seen over 6000 of them being trying many is rather what they called Level one coaches and that made a huge difference to the property citizens who are in our region is that the legacy that the foundation will leave then. We've also changed the way. Some of what you call the government but. These are people who are on athletic superintendent who will go in which they change the way they were called but there are more accessible to you know ordinary folk who are not supporting cannot take but who are prepared to give an hour chill we did just make sure that that could go to a youth club a local show and you know when I listen rely on the foundation though don't they rely on the foundation to be there to help them is not going to leave them about high and dry Well I think that they will learn today no it's not and they've got. To really process and go one level it's very hard it would be good to keep going on forever but it's just the kind of apps paradise Hilary Armstrong chair of the Tony Blair Sports Foundation. Story. It's 50 years today the Britain's pirate radio stations were outlawed Harold Wilson's Labor government introduced the Marine Offenses Act which meant most of the offshore stations were forced to close but Britain's 1st part station Radio carriage came on air in 1964 defied the law and carried on broadcasting what to mark the occasion a number of events been taking place across the country including a pirate reunion on the Thames opera go correspondent Paul Rowley has written a number of radio documentaries about the parts joins us from the boat so 1st of all poll worker ants are exactly. I'm aboard the the tattoo sure Castle which is former passenger ferry which used to do service across the River Humber before and after the 2nd World War The last time it was in service is a ferry was conveniently 967 I don't know if is outlawed by the here or the Marine defenses that but since then it's been operating as a floating art museum as a conference center as a comedy club for a while it's been a pub and a restaurant in recent years it's a perfect location for some of these acts pirates because at least one of the pirate ships Radio Caroline North was a former fairy of the Fred resha which was rechristened the m.v. Caroline So the likes of Tony Prince and Dave Lee Travis who were aboard Caroline north are telling me that it's like being back at home in many respects like the pirates John we are a float the ship does move about a bit unlike them though we are in British territorial waters we're not outside the 3 mile limit as it were about 50 yards away from the the coast separated not by a plank or a rope but by a bridge which is adjacent to the mainland and we're about $200.00 yards away from the has the parliament where I'm normally based as a political correspondent and of course it was the government of the day in 1967 which introduced the act which put many of these pirates out of business so what's been happening on board today you know been there. Tony Blackburn the star man is as it were who started on radio caroline in its opening weeks back in 1964 moved to Radio London with the 1st voice on radio one in in 1967 Johnny Walker should be with us later but we've had the likes of. Keith Skewes a pioneer on both Caroline north and Caroline South Tony prince of of Caroline North Roger day is still broadcasting to this day on the b.b.c. And Robbie Dale who along with Johnnie Walker was one of those 2 broadcasters who went illegal as it were at midnight on Caroline's South defying the law Caroline continues playing we shall overcome by Seeger All You Need Is Love by The Beatles they paid tribute to what they call the absent friends the likes of Kenny Everett John Peel and Stuart and Stuart Henry no longer with us and Dave cashew was Kenny Everett partner in crime on Radio London Dave's ashes were today scattered at Heritage not far from the m.v. Galaxy the Radio London ship was day so that was a fitting moment on this very important day in the history of British broadcasting you say an important day just you know how important were the pirates who are now half a century on. I don't think Radio Newcastle would be here in the same way without the bars I don't think much of radio would be to be honest with you the b.b.c. Was very content at the time to have Mrs Dale's diary and housewives choice the northern dance orchestra the awful sing something simple which I think was the worst programme it ever on radio and they got rid of the death penalty in 1964 but I could have strangled cliff albums and singles it was such a boring programme we hardly had an hour of recorded music at the time with Alan Freeman's Pick Of The Pops on a Sunday the b.b.c. Had to grow up in a way and realise there's a massive audience out there that wanted the current pop music and it was great music as well with the Beatles and The Who The Kinks The Rolling Stones The Beach Boys Elvis Bacharach and David Motown Stax and Atlantic psychedelia scar and blue beads It was an amazing time for me. Oh no good to know what Radio one as early as we did or indeed b.b.c. Local radio or for that matter legalize commercial radio although we had to wait 6 and a half years for that to happen in this country disappear there for a few seconds Berta Franke fully came back and we were in over there listening to every word in it drove there in the snow but was sensational over of poorly then on board that the great stories it's really nice for me to hear stories like that stories I've not heard before where well incredible great stuff still to come before half past 5 we'll find out why Westminster will sound strangely silent over the next few years it's just gone quarter past 4 the headlines on b.b.c.
