The body ofJeffrey Epstein is taken away from a new york hospital, the multimillionaire six offender was found dead in his prison cell saturday morning as he awaited trial for six trafficking. 0nce, his extravagant lifestyle had seen him party with donald trump. The president had called him a terrific guy, but he has since distanced himself from the convicted six offender. Originally a maths teacher in manhattan, the financier mysteriously accumulated a fortune that gained him entrance into high society. He was Close Friends with prince andrew, seen here as recently as 2010 in new york. His social status and opulent parties masked lurid crimes at his palatial estates. There were allegations he sexually assaulted dozens of young girls, recruited to give other wealthy men massages. One of his accusers said thatJeffrey Epstein instructed her to have sex with at least half a dozen prominent men, beginning when she was 16 years old. She was photographed with prince andrew, and in 2016 she alleged she was forced to have a sexual relationship with him. Buckingham palace says those allegations are categorically untrue.

Borisjohnson has vowed to crackdown on Violent Crime and declared the time for action has come. Were joined now by anti knife crime campaigner elena noel, and Police Federation chairjohn apter. Good morning, we will talk to you in a moment. First of all, what do you make of the plans to bring stop and search back in such a big way . Its important for me to say, because im also the co chair of the anti knife crime group in suffolk that i broadly support stop and search and we are looking at a uk crisis. The word epidemic are now being used, it is affecting every major town and city throughout the uk so clearly something has to be done and ive seen footage, and ive spoken to many users and i meant or used, so i hear it and see it because i work closely with the police and go on weapon sweeps so ive seen the kinds of weapons and knives young people are carrying. It was a controversial policy it was very controversial. The data there is, and depending data does not show that stop and search stops knife crime and violence. But its a means to. I think where my concern and the concerns of others, particularly from the black community who were previously affected by the old laws are the parents and grandparents of the current generation, and it is about being rolled out. There has not, in my view, been enough engagement with the black community who have a lot of information and other communities. This rolling out, it cannot be a one size fits all. There have been piloted in five or six different areas. Indeed but there has to be more engagement about how it is because the issue of disproportionality. And also the issue of trust in the police. Now, i work very closely with officers in Suffolk Police and colleagues in police in lambeth and other places and it is that thing about doing it ina and it is that thing about doing it in a partnership. It has to be a partnership approach. The community has lots of intelligence, they want to share it with the police, they wa nt to to share it with the police, they want to know how to do it and to save lives of young people that are involved in violence. But they need to have the trust. Lets put some of those points tojohn apter if we can. There. This proportionately they might disproportionately affect they might disproportionately affect the black community. How do we go about stop and search . It depends on what part of stop and search you are using and certainly what the Prime Minister has announced this morning is the enhanced section 60 which is where policing feels that there was a serious risk of Violent Crime that may happen, then that can be used more widely. In that sort of environment, where there is a significant risk to that community, however small it may be, then the police can stop and search anybody andl police can stop and search anybody and i would expect my colleagues, as they do, the vast majority of the time, it will be an encounter with an individual that is unremarkable, nothing comes from it and may be something is found. Lets not forget everything i was caught on body cameras so everything i was caught on body cameras so there is far more transparency than there ever has beenin transparency than there ever has been in the past, but i completely agree with your previous speaker. We need to have much Better Community policing engagement with Community Groups, schools and colleges. Sadly of the past ten years, that has been eroded away because policing has been eroded away by the previous Prime Minister so been eroded away by the previous Prime Ministerso im been eroded away by the previous Prime Minister so im reassured. You can talk directly to nora quoirin. You can speak directly to elena. How do you say that. 7 you can speak directly to elena. How do you say that. . Im very concerned about policing in particular communities that are not used to diversity. Im working on the ground with that were formerly involved in county lines that they gave me a regular update as to what areas have been affected. Lets let john answer that. Elena, ive seen some brilliant work with police all over england and wales working with Community Leaders, Community Groups but its not enough and i agree with you. We are on the same page. There has got to be better engagement with local communities. We need to not only explain why we have to do stop and search but hopefully prevent the knives going on the street because lets not forget what we all want of your kids being killed or stabbed on our streets. If its done properly, elena, are you confident this is the right thing to do . If it is done. Absolutely. I am pro stop and search with caveats and Community Leaders have said to me they want to be involved in the process of identifying use that are at risk of violence, are in violence and are handing those weapons over saving lives. This is a uk issue, its not even a race issue now. Its notjust for the black community, is it . Not at all. Lots of people i have spoken to all over the country. If it is done well, if it engages the community well, people will work together. Thats what happens. Community well, people will work together. Thats what happenslj heard together. Thats what happens. heard someone speaking in the week you said the key thing with this is item stop and search is to make it uncool to carry knives. There is a lot for role models in all our communities, isnt there . Its taking those lives, taking those weapons, reducing the inter conflicts as well. It is not just the weapons and retaliation, its also the inter conflicts between different groups of people thatis between different groups of people that is firing this as well. As you say, withjohn, that is firing this as well. As you say, with john, you that is firing this as well. As you say, withjohn, you have a shared ambition. And get that message to pretty patel and borisjohnson ive met in the past when he was the former mayor of london. Get this message to priti patel. Thank you for your time this morning. Appreciate it. Heres matt with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning, hows it working . Not like summer grow some part of the country, that is fair that this is one of your flooding is that the country, that is to say. This is one of your flooding yesterday across parts of scotland and there is more to come, i suspect, for one to today. The same areas being affected by heavy rain this week, parts of southern scotland and Northern England especially so there will be some travel in packs. If you are on the move, bbc local radio is your best port of call for travel information as you go. Let me show you whether the heaviest most persistent rain is at present, pushing into glasgow and edinburgh. Some rain to the north and west of scotland, Northern Ireland. This will ease away. Improving conditions here but in the south, while many have the sunshine at the moment, a scattering of heavy and thundery showers are said to develop. 0ne comfort of southern areas compared with yesterday, the wind nowhere near as strong. The breeze is picking up to the north of scotland, Northern Ireland, where there is a breeze and while it will bring brighter conditions, this is at four oclock, we will see some sunny spells develop as this. Will not affect those in parts of central or southern scots and Comedy Central beds that might go through towards lanarkshire, and then parts of cumbria, northumberland, the focus on more persistent rain through the afternoon and this is very good to be concerned with more flooding has he any day. South of that, better chance of seeing some sunshine but also a scattering of heavy showers, thundery in places. The south east and some parts of east anglia will stay completely dry. Temperatures of 23 celsius but notice further north of those winds develop, even with brighter skies, 13 16dc as the eye, chilly day for august. We finished the day with the rain across south east part of scotland and Northern England. 0ne south east part of scotland and Northern England. One or two showers else we are continuing. Most places are becoming dry, partly clear skies and a cooler night than recent nights. This is into monday morning, temperature is into single figures in rural parts of scotland, england and Northern Ireland where winds will be lighter as well. Air pulls off into scandinavia but remnants of that with a front trailing through Northern England for tomorrow. More dominant across parts of yorkshire i suspect about it today. Either side of that, more sunshine, some heavy, maybe thundery showers across east anglia and parts of the south east at times. Temperatures for all will be down once again, high teens, low 20s at the very best and that sums up 20s at the very best and that sums up the week ahead as far as the temperatures are concerned. See in the forecast, nothing much above 21 celsius and there will be some sunshine at times. Wednesday and thursday the best favoured for that but if we get
