To run 3 size and demand in the armed forces Mark McKenzie has been speaking to former Royal Military Police Officer Robert Wiles a domestic abuse survivor. Probably about well you. Know I mean you know we. Went through the poor. I found it I think if you situation becoming isolated it's an incredibly long story appreciate we don't always talk but I eventually found myself a big strong charge crook of a fleet I would buy on my own time a career. A small advantage in Scotland the middle of nowhere with basically nothing but all of. That but it's a complicated issue and I found myself fully please pass because I found out very early on in life that he'd been subject to some pretty horrific trick as a child and I thought what if I could. Prove to others like of the past. But of course it didn't work out like that I think many cases it doesn't so what point did you realize that this was an abusive relationship Well interestingly a large proportion of people who are in. The situation that actually realize that. What there is. And I was one of those people. The treatment. Was Wrong it was incredibly distressing on a daily level but I had a thought that I looked at myself in the mirror I thought I am in a domestic abuse situation is one of the reasons why I have a passion about giving people trying to educate people so I count people to realize that. I think the situation domestic abuse can take a number of forms the one we instantly think calls physical but then there's also emotional and controlling as well can I ask you what form yours to take. On those physical. Psychological and financial abuse. I think so I. Just want. To give you your bank card. Now make it easy for the. Bank teller and then I can get why. I don't. Know if that's a good idea so I give the bank card that thing you find is that you having to justify to the why you did not come back I do talk with very aggressive. Even farther you reach the point where you know what I'm asking so I look at the situation ask Phil why he was ever given because he would go down to the cash for a draw money out for me. That's former lawyer. Can hear more of the story. Next. Right to class and stop. Now we're talking about a subject that's often a really big taboo a it's male domestic M.P.'s itself it could affect $3000.00 men in the armed forces as men are typically perceived as physically stronger than women high hard is it to recognise and get physically abused by partners. A former Royal Military Police officer has been telling his story to Mark McKenzie who the one question I would get asked. If you don't get. Any whole cloth. Somebody for true I didn't take it as example. A part of the regiment I have full by day the focal rack for Afghanistan he could be the victim of his. But since me as an individual on one side why did you have a route Well I'm going to do on the clock a guy who one thinks of hitting a woman I think most going to blow it up to play to wrong but also I found for the period of time when police offices. Situation because a big blight on the myself or on anybody is. Almost nothing we. Try to I guess this is one of the things I talk about. On likely is ability to police officers is trying to get them to take into consideration that the kid actually. But unfortunately. The stereotype is. One of. The. Best if it isn't the only break we have to not just the stereotype of the situation. Is. Unfortunately having I place a lot of that coming forward. In a good place a much greater place NY did you wake up one morning and think I'm going to get is a or was it a slew realize ations leaving the relationships on the bike I don't mean particularly when is the most dangerous time but it really has to be full of plan properly if I particular case if. I had a breakdown I would become addicted. Which is why now the company educate businesses people. Within those businesses but it was just a gradual build up thankfully I didn't realize but again. I lived in the same village but a few weeks after I left I was attacked again I was still on and that was not. A typo I still felt. That we were together but the crucial thing that really got me to leave was we had a honey area diploma I was pregnant. And the relationship both she was pregnant attempted to literally the perfect relationship all of the ballance all the control everything all of the if I should be stopped. But once my daughter was born I was then subjected to a vicious assault holding my daughter not really to the edge cause to have a breakdown. I know I talk to somebody about what was happening but it very well when you speak to your me it's and former colleagues and people who. I did The View what you've been through so when I gave my ex all it's very well we're saved a lot of positive feedback particularly from police officers Mosher police officers caught on stuff you've got a very point that they could have picked on a lot it's I would say by domestic abuse and the police always wanted now to I would domestic abuse to go I should be afraid to come forward and report their abuse to the police but I have to say I have a full time job as well and most of the go I take the message to be honest I had it coming could I actually feel won't go I you said it was effective I was the guy talking about not being out stand up who wouldn't go or a lot of barriers there was a breakdown there's a lot of work to be done when it comes to get people to say calculate about domestic abuse against not but hopefully 70 people out there do so much good work slowly but surely those barriers will be broken down because former lawyer. Robert Wiles. Domestic abuse. Story is happening to the story. And I now now they like drill Commission has launched a website to encourage everybody to register to vote you can go to.

If you're about to recycle and run titles How about a new challenge or are there said it could challenge the teacher exciting and creative new skills elaboration on the way this morning. For the toll to In. Such. mocks and it's 30 years since the fall of the burnin wall and one man he came to know a better the most is Barry Davies the night the concrete barrier opened he was a Jedi public safety officer for Berlin's British allied sector he's also been sent to the city twice before when he was in the army and routinely patrolled the ball from Berlin verve ports a massive stage before the Berlin Wall and watching the preparations is Barry Davis So it's a years ago he was at this very same spot when the wall came down at the time he was the British. Public safety officer Bay We were at midnight Gong people on the top of the wall fairly dangerous on the police the side of the what they would do was to put police vehicle with the heavy vans up against the wall here at the Brandenburg Gate that did mean that actually nobody could get on the wall in that particular area and secondly if they did if they fell they would only fall into the top of a crispier the whole thing was peaceful it was a party atmosphere the water was fused lives had deployed and they were here handing out soup handing out tea to all the east well in this country and it was bitterly cold and nobody cared you know the sect bottles they were popping all the time and people could not believe what was happening by the next morning really in g. Joining that night they had started actually picking up the wall they became known as Mauer Shrek wall woodpeckers and there they were with small pickaxes and the like. It wasn't the only moment of history Barry Davis has witnessed in Berlin in the mid 19th sixty's there's a royal. Military police corporal he served at stand prison there he saw the release of men who'd been at the top of the Nazi regime Albert Speer Hitler's armaments minister and value of one share of the galley lights the phone Vienna and also head of the Hitler youth were released from Spandau prison I was lucky enough to be on duty that night as they exited the prison after 20 years which they served for war crimes picked up by their family and they looked rather awed because actually what they were doing was wearing the same civilian clothing which they stood in the quarter at Nuremberg in $1046.00. He would play a role too in dealing with Spann does very last invites Hitler as deputy Rudolf has from 18329095 very Davis commanded ballons Royal Military Police Special Investigation Branch this is quite amazing this is my office where I. Live in the 980 s. This is a actually how it was the document that actually talked about the demise of Rudolph Hess and the document containing all the requirements that we need for p.m.a. For the mortuary RW from the same office block the spy writer John Le carré had worked in military intelligence the cold war dominated Barry Davies 3 assignments in Berlin none more so than the 1st when he often patrolled the wall we had an outpost an observation post if we're looking out to the Reichstag it was on the front right and we were able to see White into the spare leaves you could see them with their cameras they could see eyes but we from that elevated point could see very far into we spent a pretty. It was actually especially looking over towards the Brandenburg Gate because beyond that you had the ad loan which was in ruins at the time and the whole area dates sanitized and sterilized as such so it was bathed in light and no one really had a chance to give a through the Battenburg a to move the wall there was certainly a sense all being there looking at the end in the as it were the time when you were 18 to be spelling you've got a different sense because the enemy just scowled at you West Berlin was deep inside East Germany and surrounded by Soviet troops if the Cold War had turned hot British forces in the city would have been heavily outnumbered you had one squadron of tanks you had a total of 3 in for she regiments. And it was there we Jews who gave one try to put that in the back of your mind but knowing that the Soviets had a nice generally in Poland and bordering on 2 Czechs the backyard 40 Soviet divisions that they could use was a slightly scary affair risk of conflict diminished as the Berlin Wall fell and once again Barry Davis witnessed history he was with Britain's Douglas heard as he became the 1st foreign minister to walk into East Berlin later he joined Senator Edward Kennedy but he will never forget the 22nd of December 989 that is when the Brandenburg gate opens and he walked through it with Chancellor Helmut Kohl there were thousands upon thousands of people both sides of the game that were to be able to walk through with him I must tell you it was absolutely surreal we all felt his there we were great actors in the film see and I must say to the believe it was the opening of the Brandenburg Gate was almost as important as the Knights of the Knights 10 from November 30 years after the wall very Davis says much has changed in Berlin this in some ways is no longer the city I knew and loved but it is naturally now an international draw Germany is no longer seen as being boring coming to barely It is exciting these days especially for the young people that we see all the time and it's become a tourist destination where people want to come migrants are there from over reporting on 30 years since the Berlin Wall fell and tomorrow rolled a speaking to an eye when they see experience shortages being spied upon of interrupts lover the Marine why they. 'd 'd are entirely true. READY READY READY READY come. 'd here. 'd come. You. He. Speaks with. Us from. The Green. He's been speaking publicly for the time since. He says he.
