as i was there standing at the desk waiting for my id to get checked, you know, as i do, given myjob, i ve looked around to see what kind of cameras they were using. conor had been invited to a meeting with civil servants in 2021 to discuss surveillance technology. i immediately spotted a camera on the ceiling which i knew to actually be manufactured by dahua. it never occurred to me that by going to a meeting at the home office, i d actually be able to say, you know, not only are these two critical vulnerabilities, in fact, they can be used on the cameras you have in your lobby. with the gallop of technology, i we are finding ourselves exposed to things that didn t happen in the past. perhaps in the old days you might ve said if you were bugging someone, you had to break in late at night and plant a bug. these days, the target s putting it in for you. the government says it takes.
because the passport was sitting in an envelope on someone s desk waiting to be processed. this has just got worse because the government really never cleared that backlog and now people who work at the passport office have gone on strike in a row over pay, conditions and jobs, and this isn t like one of those strikes we have seen on the railways for example where they go on strike for a day or two here and there, they have gone on strike for five weeks, none of them will go back until may the 5th and so basically what it means is nearly two years after the first problems were mentioned it looks like it is still taking ten weeks to get a passport. if you apply now that takes you to the middle ofjune. tells about this fast track option. there was supposed to be a way round this, albeit expensive. it normally costs 82 £92 to get a passport depending on how you apply but you could spend £155 to get your passport fast tracked in a week. the
asked about this defense right now from the crumbleys attorneys that there was some miscommunication and that is why they didn t immediately turn themselves in, that they weren t necessarily hiding from law enforcement or on the run. but the sheriff, sheriff bouchard, said, they re not going to wait around, tapping their fingers on the desk waiting for them to be there. as soon as that warrant is issued, we re going to go out and look for you. what did you make of those comments? well, i think the sheriff was right in his observation in terms of what occurred. certainly, it could have been some miscommunication, but the fact of the matter is, at some point, i think we can reasonably assume that the crumbleys knew that they were going to be arrested. and that s pretty evident. so, they can make an attempt to make that argument, but i think as this investigation continues to unfold and they put all the pieces together of this puzzle, i think at the end, we ll get a better idea of what
school, pay the tuition, but we are all laying around hoping that this is going to go away. it doesn t just go away. generally speaking, people have to stand up and take risks, it may be even put their lives in jeopardy for this type of racis good to go away. that has been our history. instead, everybody is just sitting around, hiding under their desk waiting for this to go away. that s not what s going to happen. it s only going to get worse. that is so wise and true, an that is what i barked at our producers, i d like to have som on the show once in a while tha ours standing up against this insanity. it s all women, and i admire al of them, but where are the men? know, it s not going away until somebody stands up and exhibits bravery. jason whitlock, you have certainly done that. thank you for coming on and hav a great weekend.
sunday show. congratulations. we ve had a long road together, you and me. a long time. yes, we have. so, chris, the i love that line in your book. it comes at the towards the tail end of your book. when i i read that line, it hit me. it made so much sense because you spend the entire book telling your story. your story from before birth with your parents and grand parents right through to your storied career in politics and journalism. why was it important to you to tell your story? well, because i m getting old and because i do have pretty strong personal memories of history being made. i grew up in the very early years of the cold war. we were hiding under our desk waiting for the russian bombers to attack. it was a scary personal experience to be under there for
