Of ever buying your own property . What would you like to see the government announce today . And, what next for David Beckham . After those humiliating emails which showed he was cross about not getting a knighthood, its emerged that a hacker demanded money in return for not publishing them. Here he is talking about his charity work in the past. Every time that you see different devastations around the world in different situations, you always feel you can do more, or you want to do more. Hello, welcome to the programme. Were live until iiam. Throughout the morning well bring you the latest Breaking News and developing stories. A little later well bring you the story of a Flight Attendant who rescued a young girl from Human Traffickers after leaving a secret note for her in the loo of the plane. Use the hashtag victorialive. If you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Our top story today. The government is setting out its strategy for fixing what it says is a broken Housing Market in england and hitting its target of building a million new homes by the year 2020. Plans will include more help for First Time Buyers, and measures to make rental agreements more secure. Britains House Building programme has been underperforming for decades. Today, the government says it is time to change. It wants councils to put pressure on developers to speed up, but also says it wants to protect Greenbelt Land wherever possible. Prices are too high, we are not building enough homes, and this white paper is a radical blueprint to change this once and for all. The government says it wants more prebuilt houses to help create homes faster. But for some, like jennifer tristram, the only choice is to rent or go into shared ownership. When i was looking, i remember there wasnt that much option out there for what i wanted and what i could afford. I think anybody who is in that same situation will probably be feeling that struggle, probably even more so than i did when i was looking. The government says smaller builders should get help to boost the housing stock, and its encouraging older people to downsize, so long as they have alternatives. Labour says the Housing Strategy is in a mess and todays white paper is a rehash of old ideas. With us now is our political guru norman smith. What difference will be plants make . It depends whether the plans, reality, because we have had so many different government plans on housing, and it has not cracked the basic goblin. To get more houses built. One thing today, the government are again saying, hands off the green belt, so Many Developers will say, the difficulty is we cannot developers will say, the difficulty is we cannot Access Developers will say, the difficulty is we cannot access sufficient land to build the vast number of houses that are meant. But one interesting aspect of the plans is we are seeing aspect of the plans is we are seeing a definite week away from the idea that everybody should own a home, to maybe just settling for renting a home. That is a recognition that house prices have gone crazy, they are not affordable for many people, and they are not going to be able to own a home. That is different from the thatcher years, even the David Cameron years, where there was an instinctive aspiration, that people wa nted instinctive aspiration, that people wanted to own a home. Now the government are trying to encourage developers to build more flats to rent to encourage longer tenancies and to shift the market more in favour of renting, in the hope that might enable more people to get a decent roof over their head. We know that renting is a huge issue, finding an affordable, decent place is massive, so do get in touch. We will talk about the plans just after 9 30am. Joanna gosling is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. The Commons Speakerjohn Bercow has been strongly criticised after telling mps that President Trump should not be allowed to address parliament when he visits the uk. Mr bercow was cheered by Opposition Mps when he told the commons that addressing parliament was not an automatic right, but an Earned Honour forforeign leaders. But Conservative Mps arent happy. One tory mp described his intervention as utterly outrageous. Its an honour thats bestowed on popes and president s. A speech to both Houses Of Parliament in the splendour of Westminster Hall was part of the itinerary when these dignitaries visited britain. But the same invite may not be coming mr trumps way. In an astonishing intervention, the Commons Speaker said recent decisions by the president made him uneasy about issuing an invitation. I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for Equality Before The Law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House Of Commons. Rare applause from snp and labour mps, who have been highly critical of the american president. That anger brought anti trump demonstrations to the Prime Ministers door after she invited him on a state visit later this year. For us to roll out the red carpet at Buckingham Palace or inviting him to speak at a grand occasion of both houses sends out all the wrong messages. Thats why mr speaker bercow has called it right today. The speaker Of The Commons is a powerful figure who has a say in who addresses mps. He is independent of Party Politics and is supposed to represent the whole house. Its clear that some are unhappy with his outburst. Generally, the speaker who is meant to referee all of this should keep himself above that. That is to be regretted, but it is a symptom of the controversy around this visit. Its very disappointing, because if ever in recent years there been a more pro british president of the United States, its donald trump. I invite you, mr president , to address us. And tory mps are pointing out that he has in the past welcomed leaders to parliament whose values britain doesnt always share. A village in hungary has banned the wearing of muslim dress and the call to prayer. The mayor of Asotthalom Claims to be leading what he calls the war against muslim culture, and he hopes to attract other christian europeans who object to multiculturalism in their own countries. Some lawyers have said the laws contravene the Hungarian Constitution and the government there is due to rule on them by the middle of this month. Amnesty international has accused the Syrian Government of a policy of extermination. The Human Rights Group claims that as many as 13,000 people were executed between 2011 and 2015. Amnesty says the alleged executions were authorised at the highest levels of the Syrian Government. The government has previously denied killing or mistreating detainees at the prison near damascus. Doctors leaders say its crazy that the uks standard ten minute slot for Gp Consultations is among the shortest in europe. They say plans to move more care out of hospitals will leave even less time for patients. The Department Of Health says its up to practices to decide how long consultations last. The great Homer Street Doctors Surgery in everton in liverpool looks after more than 2000 people. This is an area with high deprivation and patients with complex needs. Appointments are 13 minutes long. 13 minutes is sometimes enough and sometimes its not. I do tend to adjust. I would normally finish my surgery late anyway. Thats why we have recently increased to 13 minutes in the hope of reducing that. On the whole, patients arent too happy to wait. Theyre 0k, they know they get the time that they need. But complex problems cant be done in 13 minutes. Occasionally, consultations will last up to a0 minutes. The average length of a Gp Consultation in the uk is ten minutes, thought to be the shortest in the developed world. 92 of appointments here are less than 15 minutes. Compared with 27 across europe. With short appointment slots, time wasting is also an issue. A poll for the bbc found that 70 of people in the uk believed it was acceptable to charge patients who missed appointments. The governments of england, scotland and wales say the length of consultations are down to gps but have pledged extra funding to relieve time pressures. Northern ireland have yet to respond but gps say funding cant come soon enough. A pr company representing David Beckham has confirmed it was subject to a Blackmail Attempt by hackers threatening to leak beckhams personal emails. The daily mirror says the private messages in which the former player allegedly complains about not being awarded a knighthood were published after the firm refused to hand over a six figure sum. A spokesman for David Beckham says that the e mails were tampered with and deliberately inaccurate. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news. More at 9 30am. Thank you for your comment about renting. Daniel says, get councils to build more housing. Marianne says, First Time Buyers are now well into their 30s and 40s because the market has been overpriced. Paul says, builders Pay Lip Service to affordable housing. There is a shift, experts say, in the governments tone when it comes to fixing the supposedly broken Housing System. They will concentrate on the Rental Sector. We have people here who have horrific stories of renting, but also the fact that at least one of them is in a secure tenancy with fair event, so it can be done. Do get in touch with us throughout the morning. Use the hashtag victorialive. If you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Lets get some sport. There only seems to be one name in the hat to replace Alastair Cook, joe root. The hat to replace Alastair Cook, joe root. Yes, nothing official, but thatis joe root. Yes, nothing official, but that is who we expect. Alastair cook Stepping Down. Joe root is 26. When you look at his ability, one of the best players in the team. You would like to think you have a captain that gets in the team, they have the respect of his team mates, and there are no other alternatives to consider. England have a break before their next bit of action. They have the test match here was against south africa, then they have the west indies, before going to australia for the ashes. A bit of time to get it in place, but Alastair Cook Stepping Down, and andries strauss, the director of cricket, says it is not a foregone conclusion. There is a process to go through. Joe root has been vice captain for a while, he has had some leadership experience. He is a phenomenal cricketer and a very influential person in the dressing room. There is no reason why he would not be a strong candidate, but i do not want to rule anyone in or out. Not a foregone conclusion, but that is what we expect. You look at Alastair Cook, it was not a question of his batting ability. He was in charge for a record 59 matches, the highest run stora in test match cricket, 140 test match appearances, 30 centuries. The question was about his aggression on the pitch and his on field decisions and his ability to change a game. That is something they hope joe to change a game. That is something they hopejoe root to change a game. That is something they hope joe root will add to change a game. That is something they hopejoe root will add to. But when you look at the captains and when you look at the captains and when they step down, they all look dishevelled, going back to michael vaughan, Andrew Strauss, nasser hussain, michael atherton, you are quite drained, as Andrew Strauss said about Alastair Cook yesterday. A lot of scrutiny. And, will, having missed rio 2016, russian athletes will now not be allowed to compete under their flag at the World Athletics Championships in london later this year. But, will, is there a chance that some of those athletes will be able to take part . This is an extended ban for russias athletes, from missing the olympics. If the athletes can prove that they have gone through all of the portfolios and they are clean, they will be able to compete as a neutral athlete at the World Athletics Championships in london in august. So far 35 russians have applied to compete as neutrals. The iaaf have set up an independent task force. Russia still are not ready to go through the protocol, it has been recommended. Lord coe says there are concerns about the doping procedures. We are not going to change the culture of something that has been prominent for 40 or 50 years. And notjust simply prominent for 40 or 50 years. And not just simply in prominent for 40 or 50 years. And notjust simply in russia. We want to see some sign that there is a cultural shift. We are not going to resubmit the newly constricted Russian Federation and yet. The clear implication is they would appear if they do as neutral athlete. No russian athletes competing under the flag of russia in london. Cheers, will. Thank you very much for now. Ill talk to you later. This morning, the village in hungary that wants only white people to live there. Asotthalom is hoping to persuade christian europeans, including brits, to move there, with the mayor telling us, we primarily welcome people who wouldnt like to live in a Multicultural Society. The mayors banned Islamic Dress and gay kissing in public. This programme can reveal that a secretive organisation linked to the former British National Party Leader Nick Griffin is helping to promote the village in the uk to christians who want to escape islam and Multi Culturalism in the west. Our reporter Lesley Ashmall has been to visit asotthalom. Translation real refugees are people in Western Europe who live in a Multicultural Society where, for instance, muslim immigrants become the majority. Hungary is already seen by more and more west europeans as a place of refuge, a place to get away from the hell that is about to break loose in Western Europe. Asotthalom, a remote village in the Southern Hungarian plains. Abandoned smallholdings testimony to an increasingly urbanised world. The village is two hours from budapest, butjust minutes from the serbian border. The mayor here wants to attract new investors to bolster the declining population. Translation i think these empty houses need inhabitants. We are very happy when hungarian families move into them, but we are also happy if Western Europeans settle here. I think security may be the most important attraction for them, as asotthalom is one of the safest places to live in europe. Local Estate Agents are hoping foreigners take heed. So how much would this be . Translation nine to £10,000, in total. Including two hectares of land. Cheap. But all is not as it seems. This village doesnt want just anyone, it only once white europeans. Translation we primarily welcome people from Western Europe, people who wouldnt like to live in a Multicultural Society. We wouldnt like to attract muslim people in the village, even though we already have a few muslim residents in asotthalom. But its very important for the village to maintain its traditions. If large numbers of muslims arrived here, they would not be able to integrate into the Christian Community in asotthalom. We can see large muslim communities in Western Europe that have not been able to integrate and we dont want to have the same experience here. The bylaws you have got in the village, Western Christians would feel uncomfortable with them. Why do you feel those bylaws are so important . Simply because were defending our own traditions. What if i was black, or what if i was gay . How would you feel about that . Asotthalom has a by law that bans sexual propaganda. We adopted it a few weeks ago. As for your other question, think about this europe is small, it cant take in billions of people from africa and south asia where there is a population boom. This would soon lead to the disappearance of europe. Id like europe to belong to europeans, asia to belong to asians and africa to africans, simple as that. Hes so serious hes introduced local legislation banning Public Displays of affection by gay people, the wearing of Islamic Dress like the hijab, and he wants to ban the building of mosques. And his views are being pushed by a British Organisation called Knights Templar international. You can clearly see from the imagery, they are really harking back to the crusades, when the official Knights Templar, an offshoot of the catholic church, fought muslim armies for control ofjerusalem. This organisation has no official links to the catholic church. But they claim they are a christian and non racist group will stop however, their anti muslim and anti gay views are clear. The former leader of the British National party, nick griffin, is a member, as is the former bnp treasurer, jim dawson. This website is Advertising Smallholdings for sale in asotthalom. Hungary is already seen by more and more west europeans as a place of refuge, a place to get away from the hell thats about to break loose in Western Europe. At the moment, hungary is seen by the nationalists, by the patriots, by people who agree with the fence, those people are looking at hungary thinking, thank god for hungary, thank god that there is someone standing up. And when it all goes terribly wrong in the west, well move to hungary. Now those are the kind of people hungary needs. Were pretty confident this is the building where Knights Templar international are registered in budapest. Certainly pictures on their blogs, websites, correspond to this building. Lets see if theres anyone at home. Hello, were looking forjim dawson. Jim dawson. Knights templar international. Hello. We got into the building, but couldnt find anyone from Knights Templar international. We asked them for an interview, they havent responded. Nick griffin declined. Translation we dont have an official relationship, ive been contacted byjim dawson and he came to asotthalom a few times as a private individualjust to have a look. Nick griffin also came with him. I heard it from journalists, the possibility to move to asotthalom has been advertised abroad, i havent seen any of the adverts. Still, i must say, were very happy to welcome people from england. The Refugee Crisis has contributed to the anti immigrant sentiment sweeping europe, like the rise of the french Front Nationale and the dutch party for freedom. Hungary is no exception. This is the serbian border. Its just a few miles from the village, and it is where, at the height of the migrant crisis in 2015, as many as 10,000 people a day crossed into hungary. Opposition politicians think the mayor capitalised on the anxiety about the influx of people to introduce bylaws of questionable translation its possible that with this by law, the mayor has looked ahead, even though the danger of muslims wanting to build a mosque does not exist at the moment, hes already preparing for the future. It was really scary to see masses of migrants walking through the village. I spend a lot of time at home alone with my young kids. There were times when i was scared. Many lawyers think that the mayors by laws contravened the Hungarian Constitution and as part of a general review of new local legislation, the government will rule on them next week. There are two muslims in asotthalom. One of them agreed to speak with us, but at the last minute pulled out. They didnt want to attract attention to themselves. Theyve spoken of their fears to hungarian media in the past. Translation the muslim family that lives here are fully integrated with us, they dont provoke anyone. They dont wear the niqab, they dont harass people. Their young son plays football, i taught him to swim. We get on with them just fine. Translation there are gay People Living in the village, theyre absolutely fine. We meet them, we speak to them. How they live their lives at home is none of our business. We are all humans, we live together, thats it. Important issues like this should be regulated by the national government, not local legislation. Translation there is a problem with muslims and the hijabs. They dont behave like hungarians. If they take off their veil, ill accept them, it doesnt even matter if theyre black, they should become hungarian citizens, even if they are muslims or whatever. The mayor of asotthalom wants his village to be the vanguard in what he calls the war against muslim culture. He has employed round the clock Border Patrols which he thinks will appeal to european settlers. We couldnt find anyone who has come to the village as a result of Knights Templar international. But there are foreigners here. Jonathan came here from england over four years ago and is worried. Im a little saddened by it. I had a christian upbringing myself, some of the ideas that he is saying, personally, i would not class them as christian ideas. And the idea that one group of people is better than the other, i disagree with that. I know theres a lot of fear perpetrated about the migrants coming over, and causing a lot of Property Damage and stealing things, but personally, ive got little experience of that. What you think about nick griffin, former bnp leader in the uk, also pushing homesteads in this village . Well, i have recently read some of Nick Griffins previous comments about him moving to Eastern Europe. And setting up an enclave or a Refugee Centre for people coming from the uk. Having lived in areas of derbyshire and nottinghamshire where the bnp were quite prevalent, i would quite strongly be against that happening here. Most villages dismissed the idea of british extremists coming over here to farm. They think it is laughable. But one man is not laughing, he is deadly serious. So serious that he answered our last question in english. Are you trying to create a White Supremacist Village . No, i dont use this word, white, because we are white european christian population. We want to stay like this. If we were black, we would want to stay black. But this is a fact. We want to preserve this fact. And if you want to read more about asotthalom, you can find it on the bbc news site. Still to come the government admits the Housing Market is broken so how do we fix it . Well well be joined by this group of people who all rent, some are desperate to get on the Housing Ladder and cant, a landlord and a conservative mp whos been campaigning against Building Houses on Green Belt Land. Neil says, i have been stuck in the Rental Sector for ten years. Unable to get a mortgage because housing in my area would require me to have a wage four times higher than i currently air. My rent is over three quarters of my take home pay. Apr three quarters of my take home pay. A pr company representing David Beckham confirmed it was subject to a Blackmail Attempt by hackers threatening to leak beckhams personal e mails. How damaging has this story been for Brand Beckham . Heresjoanna in the bbc newsroom with a summary of todays news. The government is setting out its strategy for fixing what it says is a broken Housing Market in england and hitting its target of building a million new homes by the year 2020. Plans will include more help for First Time Buyers, and measures to make rental agreements more secure. The speaker of the house of Commonsjohn Bercow has been strongly criticised for speaking out against President Trump addressing mps and lords at the Houses Of Parliament. Mr bercow, whose position as speaker is supposed to be politically neutral, has been accused of overstepping the boundaries of his job. One tory mp described mr bercows intervention as utterly outrageous. This programme has found that a village in hungary has banned the wearing of muslim dress and the call to prayer.

Thank you for your message on the piece on the village in hungary. This person says, this is something of interest to the White Working Class majority. This tweet says, let them go, at least we will not have their poisonous attitudes here. One person says, shopping, the idea that White Christians guarantee you a better life is ridiculous. One person says, it is refreshing. Democracy seems to be dead in europe these days, we are told what to think and slated when our views do not match those of the vociferous liberals. Why do them views not attract the respect they deserve . And one more, tracey says, so they wa nt to and one more, tracey says, so they want to expel and reject the downtrodden and the suffering, it is not sound very christian to me. Heres some sport now. England are searching for a new test captain this morning, after Alastair Cook stepped down as skipper after 59 matches in charge. Joe root is the standout favourite. Yorkshire coach andrew gale says root would take more risks if he replaces him as england captain. Cook was in charge for a record 59 matches. He is englands highest run scorer in test cricket, while his 140 Test Appearances and 30 centuries are also national records. Russian athletes wont compete at this years World Championships in london. Theyve been serving a suspension after state sponsored doping was uncovered, and athletics World Governing Body the iaaf has voted to continue that ban. But some russian athletes could compete as neutrals. Rafa nadal will warm up for wimbledon by playing at queens club in london injune. The 14 time grand slam champion joins andy murray at the event. More at 10am. The Housing System is broken, even the government says so. Theyre going to try and do something about it. Plans include forcing councils to produce an up to date plan for housing demand, reducing the time allowed between Planning Permission and the start of building from three to two years, a lifetime isa to help First Time Buyers save for a deposit. But what is also expected is a change of tone from previous tory policy, with a focus on people who are renting their homes and perhaps an acceptance that some people will never be able to afford to buy a house. Expected to include minimum tenancy lengths to try to offer renters more security and a drive to build more homes specifically for rent. With us this morning, a group of people who all rent, some whore desperate to get on the Property Market and cant. Also with them, conservative mp andrew mitchell, whos been campaigning against Building Houses on Greenbelt Land, and david smith from the residential landlord association, which represents landlords in england and wales. Lets have a giant conversation. If the Housing Market is broken, you need more than another target for Building New Homes and a minimum length of tenancy. There is a lot to be welcomed in this white paper today. We have not seen it yet, but it has been extensively leaked. What it has been extensively leaked. What it is trying to do is enable eve ryo ne it is trying to do is enable everyone to have a home. It is changing it in the way to describe, it is not just changing it in the way to describe, it is notjust about Home Ownership, it is notjust about Home Ownership, it is notjust about Home Ownership, it is about rental and about making sure there are far more homes built in the future. As a constituency mp are understand that, because i talk to sixth formers, those who cannot get on the ladder, those who cannot rent, those who want a home and cannot get it. This white paper will enable all of those different sections to have a better chance in the future than they have had in the past. The point is you have to build these homes in the right places. Not on Green Belt Land, you say. In my constituency, royal Sutton Coldfield, we faced with a jump of 6000 on our green belt when there are plenty of other alternatives. The conservative councillors in birmingham and Sutton Coldfield have demonstrated how you can build the same number of homes without doing so on same number of homes without doing so on the green belt. But across england you cannot build 250,000 homes a year, the governments new target, unless you use Green Belt Land as well. I dont agree. You have to be more imaginative, you have to be more imaginative, you have to be more imaginative, you have to build communities, notjust housing, you have to focus on the contaminating Old Industrial land, building on brownfield land, more creative schemes in the cities. You only build on the green belt is a last resort, and if it is a last resort, it should be built on. The point i make on behalf of those who i represent, who are opposed to this, and who are keen to build more homes, is you do not have to do it on the green belt until all other opportunities are exhausted. This white paper was a clear opportunity for government to come up with a coherent strategy for building the 300,000 homes we need in this country every year to both me to comment Household Formation and deal with a backlog. What they have published is a rehashing and recycling of things that have been announced already, they have failed to build on the green belt, and you are in lala land if you think you can build the homes we need if we do not build on green belt. They have failed to reform stamp duty for First Time Buyers. All we have is weak aspirations on rent a security. In the specific case of Sutton Coldfield, you are not correct. We have shown where these homes could be built without desecrating our green belt. We are enthusiastic about building more homes, but they have to be in the right place. Not in your backyard we have shown we are willing to build in the town, to increase density. We want our children and run children to live in the same sort of homes and opportunities that our generation had, but it has to be in the right place. You are demeaning the white paper before you have even seen it. Iam paper before you have even seen it. I am critical of one respect but i accept that ministers are addressing the problem, and you should not the minute interview have heard what the Secretary Of State has had to say. You say trying to find a decent place to rent is like being on the x factor. I went to look for a room recently, i was evicted on christmas eve,. Why . Iwas recently, i was evicted on christmas eve,. Why . I was evicted by a conservative councillor, i will not name him, a former mayor of barnet, he had a building of 16 people come up he had a building of 16 people come up with one shower, multiple occupation, he was found not to have a licence, he bought the building for {1. 3 million and was fined less than £5,000. I do not know the story, he is not here to defend himself, but you say you bought evicted. How come you have moved seven times in ten years . We need a mandatory register for landlords, we have too many landlords who can decide that theyjust want to increase the rent. It is a problem of nimby ism that if we dont build more homes everywhere, especially in central london, there is a supply and demand issue, and landlords can charge what they want. It is unfortunate andrew what the person who describe somebody as a brexit, we cannot have homes in royal Sutton Coldfield, but we can wed there are labour voters. That is a political attack. You are a politician. This white paper is trying to address the problem which deface, which is you do not have somewhere to live. The government wants to build more Affordable Homes for renting. That was announced in the autumn statement. That is not new. But as an ambition and as a target, you would welcome that . Absolutely, but they announced that in the autumn statement, i wanted to see something new. My question to andrew is, if you build more homes, how does that help me as somebody who is locked into renting . I have no other option. Can i rent a new newly built home . We have to wait until we see the white paper, but the problem that you have identified, consistently, ministers have said they want to address this, they want to make sure that if you are in the rented sector, there are more opportunities, more places to rent, more houses are built for rent, and people are encouraged to rent and to make property available for rent. The problem which you have identified is exactly the issue that ministers are trying to address. The governments problem is partly the same thing that you have complained about, the government is wedded to institutional investment. That has been talked about for 20 years, i am waiting. The majority of landlords are relatively small. The problem with the green belt is Institutional Investors want to build there, because they want to build big developments. If the government paid more attention to The Landlords who provide the majority of housing, wrecking sure there is enforcement against the bad landlords, the ability to develop the small areas that andrew would like to see is much more likely to happen. Tell us about your arrangement, it sounds like good practice. I am a regulated tenant, ican like good practice. I am a regulated tenant, i can stay there for life andl tenant, i can stay there for life and i have a fair event. The dark side is there is a lot of harassment. Long term destruction of ilife, because if you get rid of a regulated tenant, you make a lot of money i being able to resell it. But the formula, having tenancy for life and paying a fair rent, isnt it that works perfectly well in germany, and the Companies Make a solid profit, and this is something we should consider injured using here. Good profit for the landlord, security and peace of mind, safety in your home for the tenant. What is your experience . I am lucky, because my landlord is brilliant, we have a great communication, if we need anything he will come in and fix it. But i lived in a house before where we had horror stories, i had a landlady who said she was spying on us, she increased the rent by £400. We hear. Lots of my friends have horror stories. If you can make rent where you take out the tremulous feeling, because that is the thing i find, as somebody who has rented for seven yea rs, find, as somebody who has rented for seven years, i want to feel. I have resigned myself to the fact that, unless my situation changes, i will have the rent for the rest of my life. Who else feels that . How old are you . I and 68, i will be in rented accommodation for the rest of my life, because there are no options open to me. I cannot buy a house, get a mortgage, options open to me. I cannot buy a house, geta mortgage, Nobody Options open to me. I cannot buy a house, get a mortgage, nobody will give mea house, get a mortgage, nobody will give me a mortgage at my age. I have got to rent. You feel the same . I am 55, i owned a property with my first husband many years ago. Since divorce i have been in the private re ntal divorce i have been in the private Rental Sector. For the last 20 years. It is difficult and unstable. Very expensive. I have three children, the oldest is now 31, mike youngest is 19, so now i have no dependents technically, that i have, because my daughter needs somewhere to come home to in the university holidays, my second husband died suddenly at the end of 2014, so we are ina suddenly at the end of 2014, so we are in a position now where we would have been homeless were it not for loans and the kindness of family and friends. We would have been homeless. My single income does not meet any of the Affordability Criteria for a house in south east london. Would you all welcome minimum tenancies . Some security. On behalf of landlords, what sort of minimum length would be acceptable . It is not about setting a minimum length, different people have different needs. The white paper is proposing an incentive for minimum length for institutional landlords, it is not proposing minimum length across the board. It is not proposing minimum length across the board. The it is not proposing minimum length across the board. The difficulty with minimum lengths, if you have one with, say, rent caps, as soon as the link is up, the rent will shoot up. That is a danger. You can cap it at the rate of inflation. With such at the rate of inflation. With such a housing if you decades ago, we would have been in Social Housing, but the government are intent on selling the Social Housing, which inflates the rental market. But Social Housing rent is rising faster than social Housing Private housing rent. This is one of the problems, it depends whos statistics you want to grab. The nao statistics you want to grab. The Nao Statistics Show Social Housing rents are rising faster than earnings. They are considerably lower. They are supported by the government and by institutions which have been encouraged to sell those properties. You invited me on to talk about why building on the green belt, im not here to defend this white paper. Which i havent even seen. Here to defend this white paper. Which i havent even seen. Your government is working hand in hand on brexit with donald trump. Im here to explain why building on the green belt is not necessarily the right solution. But actually if you asked me to make the point that a Government Minister would make, almost all the problems which are absolutely legitimate and important problems to address are what the government is seeking to address in this white paper. Im not here to defend it because i have criticisms of it, but the points made by the Ladies And Gentlemen here are absolutely valid points which ministers are trying to address and theyre trying to deal with in this white paper. You mentioned one thing which is constructive. We have moved from mrs thatcher there is so society. But what happens is Building Communities, you need Security Of Tenure and then you have The Landlords moving in and smashing private tenant after tenant with re nt private tenant after tenant with rent increases with harassment. These are the bad landlords. There are some good ones as well and they are some good ones as well and they are smaubing entire communities and making people move out. Making people homeless. How can we have what the government points out Building Communities when you have a Landlord System that smashes those very communities . Well, the gentleman over there who was. David smith. He pointed to something in the white paper which shows that ministers are trying to increase that level of security. Now, we may not get it right, but lets give the government and the minister the benefit of the doubt today as he announces his white paper and then see if we can build on sort of progress which you suggested might be in the white paper. Tell us about your own personal circumstances . I campaign with priced out. Can i ask you about your own experience of renting. |j priced out. Can i ask you about your own experience of renting. I had to move six times in the last two years. Because you have been forced to . A couple of bad landlords, a couple of personal things. I dont know how people with responsibilities do it. It is unstable enough for me being in a broken private rented sector where i can be evicted for any reason or no reason at all with no months notice. Ifi reason at all with no months notice. If i had reason at all with no months notice. Iflhada reason at all with no months notice. If i had a family or something to keep me in one place, it would be a nightmare. Steve says, the Housing Shortage is caused by letting too many people in this country. Andrew mitchell, does steve have a point . No one knows what the Immigration Totals will be in the future and they are a key factor in trying to plan the number of houses in birmingham, there is an allocation ofa birmingham, there is an allocation of a figure for inward immigration which every time we ask about it increases or deceases by a multiple of 6,000 houses threatened on my constituency. So, with brexit i think these levels are even more uncertain and for those people who are making long term plans, they need to build that in to the plans that they are making. Barbara says, i am 64 years old and i want to move from my current two bed home on the second floor with no lift to a single bed home, but im priced out of the rental market. Ive worked all my life and i feel really frustrated. I started my married life in a rented room and i lost my home after i got divorced. Deborah says, renting is a nightmare after five years i have been given two months notice to leave because the owner wants to sell. This is my home its a home. Its notjust a house. Landlords are buying and selling homes as though they were commoditiesjust like homes as though they were commodities just like they would buy and sell shares or bags of coffee. A home is a very important part of peoples lives. It is your space. Its your safety net. You cant just trade in homes. You can david, cant you, trade in homes. You can david, c , trade in homes. You can david, cant you, as a landlord . Trade in homes. You can david, cant you, as a landlord . It is a fair point. But the government is pressing landlords to sell because it has increased taxes on landlords and they can no longer claim mortgage interest relief. I speak to many landlords who will be selling their properties. There is one problem with that, people say that will allow First Time Buyers to buy those houses, i dont think thats likely, but one person leaves to let one person in. A tenant will be evicted so the First Time Buyer will buy the house. There is no sensible thought in that policy. And my concern about some of this, i hope the white paper starts to deal with it this, we need a coherent Housing Strategy, not a Home Ownership strategy, not a Home Ownership strategy, a proper coherent strategy and we have been begging for one for nearly ten years and i hope this is it. I can hear the frustration in your voice, david. Im as frustrated as everybody else. It is to did with houses being homes and when you have a family, being forced to move maybe through an Academic Year or in the middle of an Academic Year, struggling to stay in the same location so your children can continue going to the same school, even though they dont have security in terms of the home in which they live, you want them to maintain Friendship Groups because we know that children who are parts of families who are struggling do less well in education. So it is a very important thing that parents and therefore their children feel secure which they really dont at the moment. I also moved 11 times in 15 yea rs moment. I also moved 11 times in 15 years with three children. Wow. We a lwa ys years with three children. Wow. We always managed to remain in the same area, but again, we needed help and support that we wouldnt have had if we we re support that we wouldnt have had if we were forced to move elsewhere. Cani we were forced to move elsewhere. Can i thank you all for coming on the programme and talking about your experience. Thank you, Andrew Mitchellment dont look cross at me was i looking cross . Yes. You said about the importance of a key herant white paper. Would it be all right to ask you about speaker bercows comments . I wondered as youre here . He is entitled to make them. s very good modern speaker, but although what he said is contentious, thats his view. Is he not supposed to be politically neutral . I dont think it isa politically neutral . I dont think it is a Party Political issue, so i dont think it is. Hes not commenting on a Party Political issue. He is giving his view about when President Trump comes to this country and whether he should come to parliament or not and as speaker, he is entitled to express his view. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Coming up, our exclusive report about a village in hungary which has banned the wearing of muslim dress and the call to prayer and Public Displays of affection by gay couples. It only wants european christians to move there. Heather says, the last time i looked, christianity was all about reaching out to those who need help. This is blatant fear fuelled racism. Brian says, well done this mayor in hungary. Everyone in the west should follow his example, better still dont let them into the west to start with. As many as 13,000 people have been executed in secret at a prison in syria, according to amnesty international. Most of them were opposed to the leader of the country, president assad. We can speak now to karen allen from amnesty international. Thank you for coming on the programme and how you know what you know about this prison . It is a huge prison in sir yard and syria and we have under taken research, interviewing 84 people. Now many of those have come out of this area. Others have been guards and worked within the prison and what we have pieced together through all of those interviews is a consistent story that once, sometimes twice a week on a monday and a wednesday, 50 men are taken from one part of the prison to another where they are hanged. And that has happened from the beginning of 2011 through to the end of 2015. We dont have information beyond 2015 because the people that we interviewed and the dates which they left the prison, but it is an absolutely horrific story and we estimate 13,000 people will have lost their lives in that way. 13,000 . A formerjudge who saw the hangings told you they kept them hangings told you they kept them hanging there for ten to 15 minutes. Some didnt die because they are light for. For the young ones their weight wouldnt kill them. The officers assistants would pull them down and break their next. A former Military Officer who was also detained at the prison, if you put your ea rs detained at the prison, if you put your ears on the floor, you could hear the sound of a kind of gurgling. This would last for around ten minutes. We were sleeping on top of the sound of people choking to death. This was normalfor me of the sound of people choking to death. This was normal for me then. One more there, is a former detainee describing alleged abuse, the beating was so intense it was as if you had a Nailand Beating was so intense it was as if you had a nail and you were trying again and again to beat it into a rock. It was impossible, but they just kept going. I was wishing they would cut off my legs instead of beating them anymore. Why were these people tortured and killed in this way, do you believe . I interviewed hamid who gave those shockings accounts of being able to hear the executions take place. The people in the prison are overwhelmingly people who have been on demonstrations, students, journalists, doctors, lawyers, anybody who has shown any decent or whom the regime think may show decent and that was hamids case. He was a military man. He was suspected that he might show decent at some point and he was arrested and spent sometime in that prison. So these are anybody who shows any means of challenging the assad government. Are you saying that president assad would know this was going on in this jail . We are totally sure that at the very high level of his government at the level of the defence minister, or the head of the army, that this is known about. We know the names of the people on the Execution Panels on some of the Execution Panels on some of the Execution Panels, we have given that information to the appropriate un bodies. Right, but that doesnt mean that assad knew . I think assad must know. I think at the highest levels of his government and if he doesnt know then that is dereliction as well. You know, he cant say, i just dont know whats going on at this level of abuse. As youve said in some of those comments, it is the executions and thats something that we at amnesty have exposed, but it is also, there is a policy of extermination going on here. The stories that i heard again and again of relentless torture every day, day in and day out, of hardly any food orany in and day out, of hardly any food or any water, no access to medicines, just sheer awful way to treat people and the numbers of people who die in and the way in which bodies are disposed of, we heard that again and again. Im going to show our audience this picture. It is of a 21 year old former syrian detainee. He lives in stockholm. If you have a look at this, the picture on the left is of Omartaken Injanuary this, the picture on the left is of omar taken in january this this, the picture on the left is of omar taken injanuary this year in sweden and obviously the picture on the right is of omar injuly 2015 in turkey, just a month after he got out of the prisoner damascus. Clearly, you can see how skelettal he is on the picture on the right. What can you tell us about him . Well, i didnt meet him. I saw the photographs of people from before and when they came out of prison and the conditions and you know, in many cases, the mental conditions too. The devastation that that experience, sometimes going on for yea rs, experience, sometimes going on for years, had had on people. It is a massive prison. Its 20,000. People are packed into rooms. Absolutely packed. Theyre not allowed to speak. Theyre not allowed to cry out whilst being tortured or the torture intensifies. There is a real brutality thats quite spine chilling and it is continuing now. Im sure that those executions are continuing as we speak. So what should happen to president assad or whoever . Well, what should happen is the un and russia in particular should stop blocking progress at the un. This ought to be, you know, absolutely at the top of the conversations that are taking place about the future of syria. You know, it cannot be ignored, those executions are taking place i am convinced now still and it is something that there should be much more public outrage about, much more pressure on assad and certainly our document augusts of the abuses that are taking place is thorough. It is absolutely accurate and it will be given to the authorities who i hope can bring assad to account sooner rather than later. Thank you very much for talking to us. Thank you. Thank you. The latest news and sport is coming up. Before that, the weather. Thanks, victoria. Some of us have been seeing snow. Weve got pictures of the snow. Snow is falling in inverclyde. The weather is across scotla nd inverclyde. The weather is across scotland and Eastern England. Move away from that and were into brighter skies and sunshine, but also quite a lot of showers and some of those showers will be heavy and thundery with hail, some sleet possible on the moors and they will be slow moving so you could get a dullge as they fall. So into the afternoon thats the sip air yo across South West England and south wales. Here, they will be slow moving and here some of them will be heavy, but in between, we will see brightness or indeed sunshine. Across the central swathe of the uk, again there will be sunshine around. A few showers, but across east anglia across Eastern England we hang on to dank conditions and a lot of cloud. Some showers in northern ireland. Across scotland in the grampians and the highlands and some parts we are looking at snow and sleet across parts of Central Lowla nds sleet across parts of Central Lowlands and into the southern uplands. So it will feel cold furks posed to this. Overnight, we have a Weather Front in the west producing a lot of cloud and rain, still strong winds particularly across the northern isles, but for Western Scotla nd northern isles, but for Western Scotland and northern ireland, it will be cold. Widespread frost here and the risk of ice. For england and wales, with more cloud around, it looks like the frost issue will be fairly patchy. Tomorrow we start off with Weather Front in the east. Instead of continuing to journey east, it will try and come west again, blocked by that area of high pressure. Whats going to happen is thatis pressure. Whats going to happen is that is going to allow cold air to push across our shores in the ensuing days into the weekend as represented here by the blue colours. Tomorrow we have the Weather Front across Eastern Areas, producing cloud. Someone to a flurry is possible across parts of england, snow across the pennines and the grampians. Toward the west, brighter skies. The temperatures are starting to go down in Eastern Areas. You notice it more as we head into thursday, where we have a Weather Front pushing towards the west. Cloud associated with it, more snow across the pennines and the grampians. The brighter skies in the west. Hello, im victoria derbyshire. An exclusive report by this programme takes a look inside the Hungarian Village that is trying to create a white utopia, and wants british people to move there. Translation we primarily welcome people from Western Europe who do not want to live in a Multicultural Society. We would not want to attract muslim people, even though we have a few muslim residents. We hear how it is being advertised in the uk as a place to escape multiculturalism. Also on the programme, englands Housing Market is broken. Thats according to ministers who are launching new plans today to tackle the high cost of renting. Heres what one long term renter said about what should be done about it. We need a registerfor The Landlords, they decide Theyjust Wa Nt to landlords, they decide theyjust want to up the rent. It is a problem with a type of nimby years, if we dont build new homes everywhere, there is a supply and abound issue. Well also be talking about whether the announcement will make a difference to leaseholders, and an expert and leaseholder will be sharing their thoughts on the plans. And Conservative Mps criticise the Speakerjohn Bercow for saying in parliament that donald trump would not get his permission to speak to mps in Westminster Hall during a state visit. Your views are welcome on that. Heres the bbc newsroom with a summary of todays news. The government is setting out its strategy for fixing what it says is a broken Housing Market in england, and hitting its target of building a million new homes by the year 2020. Plans will include more help for First Time Buyers, and measures to make rental agreements more secure. The speaker of the house of Commonsjohn Bercow has been strongly criticised for speaking out against President Trump addressing mps and lords at the Houses Of Parliament. Mr bercow, whose position as speaker is supposed to be politically neutral, has been accused of overstepping the boundaries of his job. One tory mp described mr bercows intervention as utterly outrageous. This programme has found that a village in hungary has banned the wearing of muslim dress and the call to the mayor of Asotthalom Claims to be leading what he calls the war against muslim culture, and he hopes to attract other christian europeans who object to multiculturalism in their own countries. Some lawyers have said the laws contravene the Hungarian Constitution and the government there is due to rule on them by the middle of this month. Doctors leaders say its crazy that the uks standard ten minute slot for Gp Consultations is among the shortest in europe. They say plans to move more care out of hospitals will leave even less time for patients. The Department Of Health says its up to practices to decide how long consultations last. Mark norman is at a Surgery In Whitstable in kent. How does it work their . With stubble is interesting, it has no district general hospital, the nearest accident and emergency is 20 miles away, and it has all of the problems eve ryo ne away, and it has all of the problems everyone does, a huge financial black hole, a growing population, and accident and emergency apartments that are struggling to cope, and Bed Occupancy way above the safe level of 96 . For gps it is about how you manage patients better locally and keep them out of the hospitals. If i show you this board, it gives an idea of what they do. This is just it gives an idea of what they do. This isjust a gp practice. They have a my jet this isjust a gp practice. They have a myjet minor injuries clinic, you see a list of the services. I have been here since 8am, they have been ridiculously busy, people coming in with and without appointments. This is the minor injuries clinic. We have the x ray suite, the upside for gps who operate here is that if they have a patient with a chest infection, they are not sure if it is something more serious, bring them here, have a look and see whether they need to have a consultation at the hospital. It isa have a consultation at the hospital. It is a much better Patient Experience and leads to better outcomes. Jeremy hunt was here a few weeks ago, simon stephens, the boss of the nhs, is coming in the next few weeks. But this costs money and represents a huge investment. Will the nhs be prepared to spend it . It looks impressive. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news, more at 10 30am. Thank you if you have got in touch about renting. This is from a landlord in the midlands, i am finding these attacks very hard to take, i only rent had good quality properties, my houses are fully refurbished. Rent is not set by landlords, it is the market that sets the price. If a landlord increases the price too much, they will not be able to let it. You would expect it to be a product of the purchase price, but it is not the purchase price, but it is not the case. In some cases the Return On Capital is as low as 1 , but in other areas it is 20 . Vanessa said, i rented three houses over five yea rs i rented three houses over five years with my three young children, the most stressful period of my life, you never knew how long it would be before you next had to move, as only each property only has a six month rental agreement. It would cost me money every time i moved, you do not complain because you are afraid of your tenancy not being renewed. Two of the houses we re being renewed. Two of the houses were rented out and then the owners decided to sell. There are not enough good Quality Homes are available to rent where i live. Do get in touch with us throughout the morning.

Joe root would be a very different leader whos willing to take a lot more risks than Alastair Cook. Thats the view of yorkshire coach andrew gale. The ecb are considering a successor to cook, who stepped down yesterday. Gales told the bbc that root is ready and the time is right for him to be named england captain. Injoe root in joe root you will injoe root you will have a different leader. He is willing to try things, he is a lot more risky than Alastair Cook. The games that he has captained in yorkshire, he was not worried about taking risks. He will be a different leader. But when he steps up, he is ready. The time is right for him. Andries strauss has denied he is the only candidate. There is a process to go through. Joe root has been vice captain for a while, he has had some leadership experience. He is a phenomenal cricketer and a very influential person in the dressing room. There is no reason why he would not be a strong candidate, but i do not want to rule anyone in or out. Russia will miss the World Championships after the Athletics Governing Body voted to extend their suspension for state sponsored doping. But some russians may be up to compete under a neutral banner if they can satisfy Testing Criteria with wada. They were suspended in 2015, so athletes missed the olympics last year. We are not going to change the culture of something that has been prominent for 40 or 50 years, and notjust simply in russia. We want to see some sign that there is a cultural shift. We are not going to resubmit the newly constructed Russian Federation yet. The clear implication is they would appear, if they do, as neutral athletes. Sir ben ainslie. Battle to win the americas cup has begun with the unveiling of his new boat. They are aiming to bring the trophy back to britain after 166 years. It was launched in the nude, it was called rita, the name carried by all of his previous boat. Qualifying for the race begins in may. And, rafa nadal will warm up for wimbledon by playing at queens club in london injune. The 14 time grand slam champion joins andy murray at the event. Nadal had to pull out of the grass event last year due to a wrist injury but won the title back in 2008, before going on to dethrone Roger Federer at wimbledon. We will have the headlines at 10 30am. This programme can reveal that a village in hungary which has introduced a bylaw aimed at making it difficult for muslims and gay people to live there is being advertised in the uk as a place to move to in order to escape multiculturalism and islam. The Group Advertising it here is called Knights Templar international, which has links to former British National Party Leader Nick Griffin. Our reporter Lesley Ashmall has been to meet the mayor of asotthalom. Asotthalom, a village on the Southern Hungarian plains, just minutes from the serbian border, where in 2015,10,000 migrants a day crossed into hungary. The village population is declining, and homesteads stand vacant. The mayor here wants to attract foreign investors, but not just any foreigner. Translation we promote the welcome people from Western Europe, people who wouldnt like to live in a Multicultural Society. We wouldnt like to attract muslim people in the village. What if i was black, or if i was gay . How would you feel about that . Translation asotthalom has a bylaw that bans homosexual propaganda. We adopted it a few weeks ago. As for your other question, think about this europe is small. It cant take in billions of people from africa and south asia, where theres a population boom. This would soon lead to the disappearance of europe. Id like europe to belong to europeans and asia to belong to asians, and africa to africans, simple as that. Hes so serious, hes introduced local legislation banning Public Displays of affection by gay people, the wearing of Islamic Dress like the hijab, and he wants to ban the building of mosques. And his views are being pushed by a British Organisation called Knights Templar international. The former British National Party Leader Nick Griffin is a member, and the group is Advertising Smallholdings for sale in asotthalom. Hungary is already seen, by more and more west europeans, as a place of refuge, a place to get away from the help that is about to break loose in Western Europe. There are two muslims in asotthalom. One of them agree to speak to us, but at the last minute pulled out. They didnt want to attract attention to themselves. Theyve spoken of their fears to media in the past, but other villagers reject the laws are a huge concern. However, they are the talk of the village pub. Translation important issues like this should be regulated by the national government, not local legislation. Translation if they take off their veil, ill accept them. It doesnt even matter if they are black. They should become hungarian citizens, even if they are muslims or whatever. Are you trying to create a kind of White Supremacist Village . I dont use this word white, but we are a white, european, christian population, and we want to stay this, like this, so. We asked nick griffin to talk to us this morning, but he said no. Hungarian journalist Gergely Miklos Nagy was the first to find out about this village. There was a widow in which the mayor of Asotthalom Recommend the. His village to the Western European citizens who want to leave the collapsed Western Europe and wants to settle down in a traditionally european culture. There was a video on the internet. That was made by the Knights Templar international. The majority of the residents of asotthalom do not support it. It is just my feeling. We can now talk to emanuel coman, a professor at Trinity College dublin who specialises in the european far right, and iman atta from tell mama, an organisation that supports victims of anti muslim hate crime. What do you think . Well, one, it is concerning to see that this is happening. Two, that theyre actually by passing laws locally and as the citizens mentioned they wanted something to happen on a national level, but to come with a statement to have a Christian White city and a Christian White europe is quite concerning. You have christian blacks. You have so many communities that are christian as well as you had a europe which is multi cultural which is actually strong and in its diversity and Multi Culturalism, but not allowing. Theyre not interested. They want to live with people like them . That corrodes community cohesion. They think Multi Culturalism corrodes . Community cohesion. They think multiculturalism corrodes . The uk has some example of Multi Culturalism where it works. It is the best model to look at and what is happening here with Multi Culturalism. We are talking about banning the Gay Community and banning this and banning that. Not banning this and banning that. Not banning the Gay Community because they live there, banning Public Display of affection . Youre being homophobic and thats promoting hatred. Thats hatred towards the 93v hatred. Thats hatred towards the Gay Community. Let me bring in the professor. Good morning to you. Tell us professor. Good morning to you. Tell us about the rise of the far right across europe and what you think of this as part of its, i dont know, strategy . Its really hard to tell. What is quite obvious is that hungary is perceived and the hungarian government primarily is perceived as very friendly to the anti refugee sentiment. Eastern europeans in general, the governments in Eastern Europe have raised their voices against the eu decision to relocate refugees, but the Prime Minister has been very, very vociferous in this respect. I really couldnt tell whether this is a general phenomenon. It is really odd that such a village in hungary is trying to attract people under the idea that what really connects all this right wing extremists is just hatred towards muslims. They are quite a varied group and as somebody who lived in the United Kingdom for fours years as a romanian, who lived in the United Kingdom for four years, i can tell you that people like nick griffin are not very fond of my people eitherand by my are not very fond of my people either and by my people i mean Eastern Europeans. So too to actually live under the impression that this Christian White society can have everything in common and no contradictions, its quite naive. Budapest attracts, has attracted, is attracting a number of far right politicians besides nick griffin, and james dowson and the swedish far right leader has moved there. Is that because of the mood music from the Prime Minister . It is not necessarily that they believe they can legally do certain things because the things that the mayor is trying to implement cannot be legal under the hungarian law. It isjust that theyre probably hoping that nobody is going to pursue the legality of their actions. Yes. There is a little bit of i had Possibling Crassy on part of the leaders because theyre not fond of the very institution that allows them to live and settle in hungary which is the european union. Nobody asks themselves what is going to happen when britain is going to leave the euro. How are these guys going to be able to live in budapest and form the White Christian communities that they want to do in hungary . Thank you very much professor from Trinity College, dublin. Thank you. If you want to read more about asotthalom, you can find it on the bbc news website. The government is said to be shocked. Some Conservative Mps are very, very angry. We dont know what donald trump thinks because he hasnt tweeted on the subject of addressing parliament during his state visit to britain but we do know that the Speakerjohn Bercow has caused quite a fuss by saying very openly and very assertively that the president would not get his permission to speak to mps we value our relationship with the United States. If a state visit ta kes pla ce United States. If a state visit takes place that is way beyond and above the pay grade of the speaker. However, as far as this place is concerned, i feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for Equality Before The Law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House Of Commons. Applause our political guru norman smith has more. How much trouble is he in . Mps will raise with mr bercow when he is in the chair in the commons down there, his comments yesterday and many, many, tories are furious because they say it is not his job to make such sort of overt political comments. More than that, he has scuppered mrs mays attempts to forge closer ties with President Trump and they say look, it is the speakersjob to trump and they say look, it is the speakers job to reflect in an impartial manner and in a non partisan manner the wishes of parliament. Not to go off on his own and start attacking donald trump for race ym and sexism. So i think we will see quite a bit of criticism. Whats not clear to me though, is whether there is anything that can actually be done about it because i mean, you know, Hypothetically Mps could put down a motion of no confidence in the speaker. Now, thats, you know, extremely unlikely. Its almost unprecedented, but short of that, there is not much that can be done to unpick mr bercows decision which basically blocks donald trump from addressing parliament. One tory mp was suggesting that mr bercow should think about his position. In many ways he has been a great speaker for Back Benchesers like myself because he has given us the opportunity to ask urgent questions and gave us enough time for statements. He has been a great speaker. Ijust think becoming the story, using the Great Institution of the speakers, you know, office to make such a political stand is unwise unfortunately. I dont feel comfortable with it. Meanwhile, Downing Street Arejust trying to stay out of this, but you know they will be grinding their teeth in fury because after all that painstaking work, all that hand holding with donald trump now, the speaker has delivered what bluntly amounts to a fairly public rebuke, even diplomatic snub to President Trump and so ministers, you know, while understandably furious, in public have been adopting a more cautious response. Listen to the cabinet minister. Well, anyone who knows the speaker knows he will speak his mind. Whoever is the president of the United States is someone that we wa nt United States is someone that we want it get on with it and wet want to work hard with and inviting them to work hard with and inviting them to the uk is a sensible thing to do. Reporter are you happy to Seejohn Bercow in the chair in the commons . Im happy with whoever is in the chair in the commons. I think what we saw from speaker bercow yesterday was all part and parcel of what has become almost central to his whole speakership. He sees himself as a reforming speaker. Someone who is dragging this place out of the 19th century. He got rid a lot of kos sums and tried to bring in outsiders and i mean, just before he made his comments yesterday he was talking about ending the practise of commons clerks having to wear wigs in parliament and i think when he attacked donald trump for racism and sexism, in part, he took the view that those sort of attitudes were totally counter to the sort of image of parliament which he wants to convey. So in a way, it fitted into his whole sort of Reform Agenda of trying to drag parliament into the modern world. Cheers, norman. Alistair carmicheal is a Liberal Democrat mp who thinks mr bercow was entitled to say what he did and James Duddridge a conservative mp thinks this was not a row he should have jumped into. Iam losing i am losing confidence in him. It was inappropriate for him to take a highly political and partisan view. It is for the House Of Commons to make decisions on policy and he endangers his own ability to from the chair Approach Jaout date on a non partisan basis. I think this perhaps is one step too far for this modernising speaker. Mr carmichael, youre smiling in disagreement . Well, indeed. Look, iunderstand that yesterday was quite a moment. Weve not really seen anything like this in the past, but we live in extraordinary times and i think you have to keep it in a little bit of context here. The context is of course, that theresa may, spooked by seeing nigel farage pictured with donald trump in the early days following his election win in november, went charging across, seven days into his office as president and offered up a state visit. Now, there is no precedent for that and yes, you know, you have to see the context of. He is a democratic. He is a divisive character. He is a democratically elected president. Why shouldnt he address people like yourselves at westminster . He is a democratically elected, but he has been elected on a platform which does include elements of racism and which does pander to racist elements. We have seen pander to racist elements. We have seen the way in which he has been an apologist to President Putin in re Ce Nt Apologist to President Putin in recent days and i think its quite right that the speaker of the House Of Commons should be in a position to say theresa may may speak for the government, but she doesnt speak for the whole country. Alistair, thats not what he was saying. He was purporting his views. He wasnt say theresa may doesnt speak for parliament. He was saying he was speaking for parliament. If he stood up speaking for parliament. If he stood up and said that parliament should make a decision, you and i should have a vote on whether we should invite donald trump. I would entirely agree with you. But thats not what he did yesterday. You and i both know that fact in you go back to irskine may. One is impartiality and one is authority. He has vested in him the authority of parliament to speak on these matters. I think thats what he did and i think he was quite right to stand up for parliament and to say to government, that look, youre notjust going to ta ke that look, youre notjust going to take us for granted, there is a range of views here. What you did was premature in offering a state visit. Donald trump can visit the United Kingdom without it being a state visit and without all the pomp and pageantry that goes with that. Thats something thats worth bearing in mind. Indeed, he can have a state visit without coming to parliament or indeed, he can come to parliament or indeed, he can come to parliament on the invitation of an individual mp or a group of mps. He doesnt need permission to come into parliament. He needs the permission to use Westminster Hallment speaker bercow didnt consult the lord speaker. Maybe the undemocratically elected members of the House Of Lords will end up inviting him all these things are possible, but you know, i think its good that we can have this conversation because i think up until this point, our standing in the world stage has really been diminished by the fact that theresa may chose to go chasing after donald trump and the world can now see by good means or ill in fact there is more than one view here in this. Obama said we would be at the back of the queue. We were at the front of the queue to get into the white house. And theresa may secured big concessions on nato, that reassured our European Partners on the border of russia. She couldnt get donald trump to talk about them. She had to talk about them. Remember, when youre talking about deals. Concessions are concessions. Donald trump said ta the deals that hes interested in are ones that are good for america. That put America First. Is that really the sort of deal that you wa nt really the sort of deal that you want for britain . One that puts America First . Well, there is mutual interest in a stable europe, there isa interest in a stable europe, there is a mutual europe and a prosperous europe. We can look beyond those narrow interests. Shall i tell you what a couple of taxpayers say. Denise said, mr bercow showed no neutrality. Considering his position requires him to be neutral and impartial, he let down his office and he should step down. He is a disgrace. Liz said, the speaker has shown his true identity. David says, Claerng On Brexit and john bercow on trump. Two voices of reason here. There is a wide range of views, and thatis there is a wide range of views, and that is good. We live in a society where there ought to be a plurality of views, and one thing that concerns me is that seems to be the sense that if you do not take the same view as somebody who has a different opinion from you, you are somehow being a traitor or betraying or working from some unworthy motive. We should be relaxed with the fact that there is more than one view, and that is what the world sees as they see our democracy functioning. This has left the speaker diminished, i suspect if there was an open election he would not get elected, and if a candidate stood, i suspect Alistair Carmichael would support me. Why cant the speaker speak their minds donald trump does. That is what brendan says. Somebody says, john bercow does not speak for the whole of the uk, and the world needs to give donald trump a decent chance of being president. One person says, the speaker is speaking his mind, like donald trump, what is the problem . Still to come. The average house now costs eight times the average salary. Loads of you getting in touch. Barry says, i do not understand white people in their 20s and 30s should own a house i do not understand why. It was not until my 40s that i even thought about buying a property. Your views are welcome, we will talk about it again.

Were they doctored . And how damaging is the story, now running into a fourth day, to Brand Beckham . The Sister Company of a pr firm that represents David Beckham has confirmed it was subject to a Blackmail Attempt. A hacker is believed to have demanded money in return for not publishing stolen emails between beckham and pr adviser simon oliveira. Police are investigating. A spokesperson for ex england captain beckham, 41, said the emails were hacked, doctored and private. Has the story changed the way you view David Beckham in any way . Joining us now from sussex is Mark Llewelyn slade, who runs a Company Called awards intelligence, which claims to help people win awards and nominations. How does it start, the quest to get a knighthood . How does it start, the quest to get a knighthood . You have to be in it to win it, but people cannot put themselves forward, so they rely on their friends themselves forward, so they rely on theirfriends and themselves forward, so they rely on their friends and family and business contacts to nominate them. Do you fill in a form . Yes, it is a fairly long and detailed form to do well. What sort of questions you asks you can knock out a nomination ona asks you can knock out a nomination on a wet sunday afternoon, but is it going to cut it at the Cabinet Office . We estimate they get 20,000 nominations every year, and between two and 2500 are successful, so a little over 10 . It is worth taking the trouble to do it right and properly. Often apathy sets in and friends and family never quite get round to doing it, which is a shame. You need evidence of what charity work . What else . The milliondollar question is, have the nominee gone above and beyond the call of duty . People do not usually get honours for simply doing theirjob. They must have excelled at something, whether that be community and charity work, or whether they are an eminent doctor, business leader, lawyer or celebrity. David beckham has already got an honour, i think it is an obj, but he wants a knighthood. How do you get that . The level of honour is driven primarily other geographical spread of the persons influence. Somebody operating at a local level, like a scout leader or a Womens Institute person, would be at the lower end, perhaps ade m or maybe an mba. But somebody known nationally or internationally as a leader in their field would tend to be at the mid to high end. It is about geographical spread at the end of the day. Do you think his brand has been damaged in his quest for a knighthood . I think we have to say it has been or it is likely to be damaged. I am not sure he can weather the storm here on this one. But only time can tell. It must be difficult for the Cabinet Office to give him a knighthood after everything that has been supposedly done and said over the last few days. It should be interesting. The government is setting out its strategy for fixing what it says is a broken Housing Market in england and hitting its target of building a million new homes by the year 2020. Plans will include more help for First Time Buyers, and measures to make rental agreements more secure. Its a shift for the conservative government to focus on renting and, perhaps, an acknowledgement that with the average house costing eight times the average salary, some of us will never be able to own our own property. Lets talk now to anne baxendale, the head of policy at shelter, James Saunders from quintain, who have today announced theyre building the uks biggest build to rent project, and lord kerslake, chair of the peabody trust, which is a housing association. No, he is notjoining us. Tell us about your project. 5000 homes owned at the rental market. Will anybody be able to afford them . Absolutely, we see a wide range of People Living in our rental properties, we have some already, doctors, nurses, local people. It is notjust for the young, it is forfamilies, for older people. Why are you doing this . You are in it to make money. You say it is affordable . We can build faster and we can build more homes if we have the rental model. We have built to sell in the past, now we are building specifically for the rental market, which we think is an important market for london. It is pa rt important market for london. It is part of the solution. What is in it for you . We can manage notjust the houses but the wider estate, we are building an 86 acre estate, and we can create a great Living Environment for the long term, the best place to live in london. What is in it for you . Rent, but the key is in it for you . Rent, but the key is that we have a professional rental company. We are professional landlords. Our tenants do not pay any fees on the way in, they do not pay in victory fees, they do not pay agencies, and they get a package, including broadband. Agencies, and they get a package, including broadband. Ij agencies, and they get a package, including broadband. I feel like i am missing something. Or is this as good as you are claiming it to be . It is an important part of the picture in terms of providing new suppiy picture in terms of providing new supply, but we need to be clear on the scale, we have 11 million renters. We are talking about ilda to rent in the tens of thousands. This is helpful, and we welcome any landlord who is interested in providing good conditions, longer tenancies, and giving a good home to tenants. But the scale is very small, winnie to be realistic. What we need is change for the 11 million tenants living in private rented homes now. That change would include what . We want longer tenancies. Five year tenancies for people who are renting now, and particularly in acknowledgement of the fact that we have many more families renting with children and many more older people, so children and many more older people, so the old stereotype of renting from two or three decades ago, of Young Students in a bedsit on their way to getting a mortgage and just passing through, that is no longer applicable, it is a typically different market. That is right. We are setting out to be a professional landlord. The london market has been dominated by by to let, people who have chosen to be landlords for a short period of time, but we are a professional landlord, it is what you see in america and continental europe, the people that put the te na nt europe, the people that put the tenant and Customer Service first. At the moment we see demand is typically for a year to 18 months, but we are very open to longer tenancies. We will move with the market, and that is an important point, this is the beginning of a change in the marketplace. People have been talking about this in london for a long time, but it isnt just beginning now, and we are at the forefront of it. We expect the market to change and mature, but we set up do that. We do not know the details of the formal policy document, it is being announced at lunchtime. But the wording we think so far is that there will be an incentive to landlords to offer minimum tenancies. What might that mean . We welcome the shift in tone, it is important that the government is talking about renters. It is quite a big change. That needs to be acknowledged. Incentives are unlikely to be enough. We need much bolder action to tenants. We have families raising children in a home where they can be evicted for no reason on two months notice. Even if they are not evicted, they have to live with that uncertainty. When they have children at school nearby, they have children at school nearby, the challenge of finding a new home that will accept children that is near the school. This is a reality for many people, and what we need is much bolder action that applies to all tenants, and not just much bolder action that applies to all tenants, and notjust very much bolder action that applies to all tenants, and not just very slow reform. For people who are raising children now in a private rented home, they cannot wait ten or 20 years for the change. But we would hope to see from the government is something that helps those people right now and meet the scale of the ambition that they have set out over the past few days. Charlotte says, i have rented for five years, i have moved six times. The link in cambridge, it is a struggle, the house i live in cost the same as my monthly wages. My partner and i add 30 have always had to have a housemate, and cannot even think about a family or our future yet. Landlords can charge what they like and there are no limits or guidance for house size, etc. Thank you. The government says todays announcements will also include a range of measures to tackle all unfair and unreasonable abuses of leasehold. We dont yet know the detail, but there are hints they will act to tackle spiralling ground rents and freeholds being traded under peoples feet. Leaseholds are one of the Fastest Growing types of Home Ownership in england and wales, but in many cases leaseholders are stung for thousands of pounds in unexpected costs, as we highlighted in an exclusive report by our reporter James Longman last week. Thousands of homeowners are having the ground beneath them sold off and they may not even know about it. What do we want . Homes for britain, now new homes are going up across the country. Many are leasehold, not freehold, and the difference is crucial. The new trend is for developers to sell freehold to investment companies. Here is what is happening. A developer builds a house. It sells that house to this couple. But what it sold is the least to the house, that is time in it. A couple of years later, the developer can then sell the freehold, the ground that it is on, to an investment company. It is a way of making money on the same house twice. This whole business is worth hundreds of millions of pounds every year to the developers. I had no idea that my home was used as an trk stream for an investor. Katie was never told herfreehold would be sold off. Where did they get the figure from . would be sold off. Where did they get the figure from . I have no idea. It doesnt seem ethically right to me at all. Im not a cashpoint for somebody else and i never realised that i could be used as such. What bellway are doing isnt illegal. Some of their buyers just feel they werent clear about their plans. We asked them to comment, but they did not respond. I feel guilty for my family that ive made that wrong decision, you know, it pite not impact on my in my lifetime, but you buy a home for your children to have and you know, to give them something, you know and its a massive burden to leave for your children. How much difference will todays announcement make to leaseholders . We can now speak to Sebastian Okelly from the Group Leasehold knowledge partnership, whos also a former property journalist, and clair scott, who is in salford. She bought a new build leasehold property in bolton, but later encountered many of the issues also experienced by those in our report. Tell us about this property. You didnt realise you bought a interest that would see the ground rent shoot 7 that would see the ground rent shoot no, that would see the ground rent shoot up . No, thats right. We bought a house back in 2011 from a National Home builder. They offered us some money to help us get on to the property ladder because we didnt have enough deposit. The whole process went really, really well and then fast forward to 2016 last year we came to sell the house and it fell through at the last minute because of the ground rent clause that the buyers solicitors came across and basically that says that we pay £295 a year, but then it doubles every ten years. Until it gets to £9440 a year by 2060. Those solicitors told the buyers that the house was not saleable and the lease was too onerous and not to buy it. The house sale fell through. Weve inquired about purchasing the freehold. Again, from an entity we dont know who is behind it, it is just whoever the home builder sold it on to, we dont know who owns our freehold. While you were in the house, the developer sold the freehold without you knowing anything about it . I think it happened a couple of years after we bought the house. Theyjust sold it on to an investment company. No one would have thought anything of it until now. Until when you ask to buy it, the cheapest we have got it to is £40,000. Right. 50 it, the cheapest we have got it to is £40,000. Right. So what impact does this have on you . Well, we cant sell our house. If we were to sell it, we need to get rid of the lease issue and to do that youve got to buy the freehold at £40,000. Either way, you look at it, weve lost 25 of the value of our house. So do you think you will be there, you will be in that house now or what . No there, is what makes it worse. Back in september, when we had a house buyer, our buyers were pretty much moved in. They ordered furniture. They had got trades men all lined up to come and do modifications and it only fell through at the last minute and we had already completed on our next house because im actually heavily pregnant and we were looking to move to another house in an area where the schools where we wanted our child to be. So, it literally was a case of, there was about five days difference between us buying our house and our house sale falling through. So for us, were absolutely financially crippled. Riddled with worry because we have this, what should be an asset that we have been putting money into for five years is now actually a massive financial burden. Let me bring in sebastian. It isa burden. Let me bring in sebastian. It is a scandal . This plc House Builders selling these leasehold houses, 8755 of them sold and ha pless houses, 8755 of them sold and hapless First Time Buyers, coming off short term tenancy go and buy the leasehold products and then go and find the onerous ground rent terms. And their solicitors not doing thejob that terms. And their solicitors not doing the job that theyre supposed to do . Many of them have bought with solicitors recommended. I cant stress this strongly, do not ever employ a solicitor recommended by a developer. Always choose a different one. That in itself is disqualification. Is the government going to clampdown on this . Disqualification. Is the government going to clampdown on this7m disqualification. Is the government going to clampdown on this . It will be addressed in the white paper. The housing minister talked about it last week. I dont think there will be legislative action banning leasehold houses. There are certain circumstances where youve got to build leasehold houses where a developers doesnt own the land for example, but as a practise, i think it will be strongly discouraged, one of the main plc House Builders has stopped doing it from 1st january as a result of our efforts. Good. Others have got to follow. The help to buy scheme where taxpayers are under writing peoples mortgages to buy these flawed, predatory products will also have, it is something that ministers can do just to stop that. I think throughout your programme, the one thing that hasnt been brought up in the housing is that english housing, uk generally, but english housing, uk generally, but english housing, uk generally, but english housing, has this awful speculative element to it of a get rich quick element in housing and in leasehold, you see this very clearly. We re told leasehold, you see this very clearly. Were told that freeholds are own by pension funds. Rubbish. Many of them are owned by shady companies, where the directors are hidden by Nominee Directors or they are hidden by Nominee Directors or they a re owe hidden by Nominee Directors or they are owe owned off shore. It is this speculative element thats got to end in british property. Well, thank you for making that point. The high court in london has begun considering a case aimed at stopping british arms being used by saudi arabia to attack yemen. An estimated 10,000 people have been killed in yemen, most by saudi led airstrike, resulting in britain being accused by some of complicity in war crimes. The United Nations estimates that at least 10,000 people have been killed in the war in yemen between Houthi Rebels and the Saudi Led Coalition supporting the government. Which is fergus . Im fergus. Tell us about your trip and what you saw . The scale of humanitarian is off the chart. There are ten million children in need of International Humanitarian assistance. I went around a hospital in the north of the country. Our feet crunched on broken glass because the windows of the hospital are constantly blown out. I think, we can show our audience some images compiled by save the children. They are distressing. So i want to let you know that in advance. You can perhaps tell us about the pictures fergus if you would. Wonderful. So the wards are packed full of skeletal children. There is one incredibly brave nurse called martha who is trying to keep 16 newborn babies alive in the intensive care unit where there was no electricity and the incubators we re no electricity and the incubators were held together by sellotape. One nurse trying to keep 16 babies alive where incubators are held together with sellotape. Yes. And there is no electricity. Wow. My goodnessment ok. Electricity. Wow. My goodnessment 0k. Goodnessment goodness. The case in the high court. Tell our audience about it uk arms have been central to that. Uk fighterjets have been flying overhead and uk bombs have been falling on to people below. Since the bombing began in 2015, the uk licensed over £3 billion of arms to saudi arabia. British manufacturers have export licences to sell arms to saudi arabia . Well, we believe the arms exports have not just been immoral, they have been illegal. It says if there is a clear risk that weapons might be used in a serious violation of International Humanitarian law, then an arms export should not go approach head. Seek the horrific images today, how much more serious does that risk have to be . Much more serious does that risk have to be . Saudi arabia is one of the most abusive regimes in the world and it is conducting a terrible, terrible crimes against the people of yemen. Let me bring in an aid worker. Can you hear me 0k . Yes. Tell me what you have witnessed. Well, what i witness in my country which is very poor. The situation is very, very bad. People are in need for humanitarian assistance. There are casualties every day. People die in almost every day. People die in almost every place of the country because of various reasons. It is either because of the conflict or because of lack of humanitarian aid. There are protection challenges. The Health System is collapsing. Lets say it has already collapsed. We have nutrition challenges all across the country. Children are dying of hungerand the country. Children are dying of hunger and lack of Proper Health services. We also have problems in education and people now have no schools. There are Seven Million children that have no access to education. I cant say that the situation in yem i can say that the situation in yemen is very, very dire and people are in immediate need of assistance. If britain doesnt sell arms to saudi arabia, somebody else will . It is the same argument which could be used to justify selling weapons to iran or russia or north korea or anybody. Iran are on the other side. From a british point of view, you could say there is some kind of strategy in order to maintain our influence there over and above iran . The uk is meant to stand for human rights and democracy around the world. It should not be arming one of the most brutal repressive regimes in the world while it wages a terrible bombardment against one of the poorest countries in the world. Fergus . Were working with an incredibly brave 13 Year Old Girl who was bombed whilst in her classroom. She lost her teacher and her friends and her cousin. Classroom. She lost her teacher and herfriends and her cousin. She is so herfriends and her cousin. She is so traumatised and she is going to be dealing with the trauma of that forever and were doing everything we can to respond to the hult situation on the ground, but we need the British Government to help to put pressure on all sides of the conflict to get back around the negotiating table.
