Hours. 0ne quite a lot in the last couple of hours. One of the things that is interesting about this story is the sun has focused on the amount of money that this individual was paid, who himself was convicted of drugging and raping a girl and inviting a pal tojoin in. Somebody with that kind of condition was put amongst very vulnerable girls. I draw upon one of the bbc interviews, with the person who led the prosecutions into the rochdale grooming gang. The line i seized upon is this idea, he said it was something he would never have sanctioned, putting a predator along with other predators alone with prey and not being in a position to manage the risk to children. Are we speaking without knowing the full details of knowing how the investigation was conducted and knowing the full details. Victims of grooming who probably at some time didnt know they were victims of anything. They thought they were friends of the perpetrators. Put yourself in the shoes of the Police Officers who know that the girls have been raped and cant do anything about it. They must have felt this was the only option. It cant have been an easy choice. These cases have proved very difficult to secure convictions. Police have known these gangs are operating but the number of convictions is very small and it is only in the last few years we have seen any convictions at all. You have to accept that it is very difficult for police to find evidence of what is happening because a lot of these girls havent in the past been in a position to give good evidence. They found a guy who was able to act as an informer. They held their nose and paid him to let them know what was going on. They have been very heavily criticised but this was a success. They have secured convictions and stop this happening. However much we dont want people to see that people like this have been paid, the judge said this, but secured convictions. A different angle moving the story forward. Police constable attacks failure to shame grooming gangs. The police chief is saying that there is not enough shame and stigma attached to child sexual exportation in some communities, pointing the finger at the Asian Community from which these men came. You have to look at the root causes of why this is happening. There are some graphic details in some of the coverage. Some of the background with the men. Some of the background with the men. Some of the things that they had said previously. Talking about white girls as, you know, white trash that we re girls as, you know, white trash that were there to meet their sexual gratification. Its a bit worrying two point finger at an entire community. Thats only going to stoke up tensions there. Particularly with the police. To label it as an Asian Community, we are speaking about a specific group within that community. Not whole swathes of people in that area. What hes saying is that these communities we are talking about, they can deal with the problem from within as well and stop it from happening in the first place. There Isa Happening in the first place. There is a pattern here, whether we like it or not, whether it is controversial or not. There is a pattern with the people involved in these grooming gangs. It is going pretty far to suggest that people in these communities think it is ok. That is not right at all. There are communities trying to deal with this issue. There is a pattern to it and it needs to be addressed and it needs to be addressed at the grassroots level. Turning our attention to another very worrying story on an international scale. A photo there of Tens Of Thousands of North Koreans attending a rally in pyongyang. Whether they chose to be there or not is another question. Knowing north korea. They are there in huge numbers. The headline sums up in huge numbers. The headline sums up where we are at. Stop all will destroy you, washington once kim. This is a very tense situation. We have seen these flare ups from time to time but never like this before and it feels like it is coming to a head. The reason is because north korea are on the verge of being able to attack america in a way that america has never felt threatened before with a small state with nuclear weapons. An american president was going to have to deal with this situation. Unfortunately,. The with this situation. Unfortunately, the president whose watch this happens on is the most erratic and unpredictable we have ever seen. Its pretty unfortunate for the world because you genuinely dont know what youre going to work up to. Weve had presents before issuing very careful worded state m e nts issuing very careful worded statements when it comes to north korea because of the massive implications of any military action. Here we have a president who just tweets what he thinks. Exactly. That is why we see this escalation because of the language being used. Today talking about the size of the Nuclear Arsenal that the us possesses and can use against north korea. Sorry to interrupt. Just looking at the Daily Express front page which carries the story. We can still sleep a night, evidently. Nothing to worry about. The Secretary Of StateRex Tillerson has been trying to undo some of the potential inflammatory language that donald has been using. It is something that when youve got hawaii ona something that when youve got Hawaii On A State Of Alert and being told about sheltering in concrete buildings in the case of an attack. That shows the level of fear that there really is that this is really escalating now. Part of the problem is these mixed signals coming out of washington. Youve got trump boasting about americas Nuclear Arsenal and threatening to use it. His Foreign Secretary telling americans that they can sleep well and that the rhetoric isnt important and nothing serious is going to happen. Who are you supposed to believe . Who is north korea supposed to believe . And actually it is south korea who are worrying a bit more to night. They are right next door. The capitalist just a few miles from the body and is always a target. Its a worrying place to be right now. From the border. Some really Good Journalism in the Daily Telegraph. Revealing the eu Expenses Scandal. Senior officials spending thousands on planes and hotels in figures described as tip of the iceberg. 0ne of those stories that some people think this would have come out sooner think this would have come out sooner but these kind of stories ta ke sooner but these kind of stories take a lot of work. Theres been a battle going on in europe trying to get this data out. There is some freedom of Data Campaign that has eventually got it. Theyve only got a tiny bit of it. A couple of months worth of expenses claims. The commissioners line is it is far too much paperwork to make it public. Just looking at a couple of months and you can see thatjean Claude Juncker the head of the European Commission and its over to rome in a private jet for 25,000 euros for a night in rome. Well, thats quite a lot of money to be spending when its taxpayers money. You can imagine that the Daily Telegraph we re imagine that the Daily Telegraph were rubbing their hands with glee. All their christmas is at once because it is proof of the massive gravy train. Exactly what theyve been warning about. For a lot of people it was the reason for brexit. Now that proof is here that the money weve been paying in is squandered on these over the top expenses. Showing the bloated inflated european union. Thats the story they have got. Its worth noting that the Daily Telegraph were also the paper that broke the Expenses Scandal in the uk. That changed a lot of the culture in this country. This is about very Senior Commission officials. Mep expenses are clouded in secrecy. There is not the trans transparency we have now in the uk. We didnt know about the expenses of mps and gifts and travel and hospitality. Since that light has shone on it, mps expenses is now very clean. Lets have a look at what a former Prime Minister does when he hasnt got much to do. Ego surfing. There you go. Hes gone back to his usual Holiday Haunt near padstow.
