Game's not over yet a funeral for the horse looked forward and what you make of this this is a new piece of technology that allows Police Scotland to scan and store data from mobile phones and it's raising concern among M.S.B. As over whether they might be infringing your privacy rights Well Judith Roberson is the chairperson of the Scottish Human Rights Commission and she's been telling me more about the concerns surrounding this basically the issue is that in terms of searching mobile phones that would be considered really equivalent if not more intrusive than searching someone's house because the type of data and the range of data that is held in a mobile phone is really equivalent and sometimes in more instances equivalent to that you would expect find on a computer these days and from the perspective of the Scottish Human Rights Commission that that's at a higher risk of being in breach of Article eat of the European Convention on Human Rights which is basically the right to privacy and so that our concern is that unless specific safeguards are cute in place to ensure that the way these searches are conducted are done. Based on an on a strong basis in law then there are at risk of the police scanner risk of breaching people's rights in relation to the right to privacy use a high risk with the issues we don't know the legality or illegality of this at the moment do we we don't know the position in law. Exactly I mean that's the point the point is that what we're recommending is that actually legislative framework bits in place so the position in law is really clear and so that actually not only the time wasted on behalf of the public but time wasted on behalf of the police using potentially collecting evidence which ultimately may not be admissible in a trial because the basis of all hasn't been established and so that's what that's what really is it at stake apart from obviously people in the. People's privacy. Mobile phones themselves are as we know they hold not just data from for the individual cells but they will potentially teacher for who range of other people and the tests that one would but that under under human rights law that be applied are really that is is that a basis for it is that a clear purpose in doing so and is it proportionate and that that notion of minimum necessary interference. Is also part of the mix here but our principal concern is that it's what if I don't use that basis in law but should this be fair and legal This would cut crime wouldn't it. It's there's. Absolutely it's got the real potential obviously to give it but where the police access quickly to people's information that is both that strength and its weakness and so we're not saying this is not in itself a process that shouldn't be employed at all we're just saying the process needs to be employed properly and done on the basis of law and the other the other tool that that we have is that of a judicial warrant that's what we would use if we were going into search someone's house and the recommendation from the commission is that that also is applied and in this case the i word is sought so that the oversight and all the of the search is undertaken and not in a legal way because if we're trying to keep any population safe then sometimes privacy has to suffer. Well that's true there and under under human rights law previously can is a qualified right it can be breached but the basis on which is breached that's recognise that there are good and legitimate reasons for reaching someone's right to privacy so it isn't an absolute right and that also that that's absolutely why we're seeing in order to give clarity to both Police Scotland and the population but also for for the people the public themselves to understand on what basis is OK for their phone to be searched. For us not to be naive about that and to be aware that. We know what our rights are and we understand. Legitimate based means by which our phones can be searched I think we know now don't we the police come to spend about just under 400000 pounds of these 41 cyber kill kiosks and they can overwrite passwords they can access private data they can have a look at your text messages they can even have a look at your encrypted conversations and your photos and your web browsing history where do you think we go next with us I mean our recommended next steps is that we put it on a legislative basis we understand the investment has been made. We have. No issue with the technology in and of itself the issue is with the basis on which is being applied so there is. And that that be done and clearly identifiable legal basis and the best way to do that is is to is to put in place legislation what basically happened is that is that over over time the legal framework hasn't kept peace with technological advancements it isn't fit for purpose for these kind of processes and while we have the technology to do these things which is it which is important and potentially very helpful as you see in criminal investigations we also need to put in place the safeguards at the same at the same piece and that's what's quite challenging in this context and and at many levels hasn't happened. But said you know Roberson chair of the Scottish Human Rights Commission now you you'll notice what you this is is the time you poppies are on sale we get ready for the annual remembers events but this year is a bit different November the 11th 2018 will be this and Tina Marie of the World War One missed this day to highlight what the anniversary means more than 3 and a half 1000 U.K. Army cadets. Have traveled to the song and one cadet from Northumbria Charlie Lester has been finding more about his great great grandfather who served with the Royal Scots and I caught up with him along with Richard Crawford from the army cadet force state last real opportunity that we have to properly commemorate and have the have the focus to bring all the cadets together. To as many of the cadets together as we can to take them across to learn about what's a World War One was about and to understand the context to visit the battlefields and to also talk a little bit of their own family history where those cadets have researched it so that they can bring that to life as well what what Charlie what did you find it a but your ancestry Wargrave you went to the cemeteries there was no one from my family but it was very very quiet no birds singing or anything it was very very sad to see unknown even on the battle grounds to see like where the explosions of went off it was very very quiet. Here I mean I understood that your great great grandfather served with the Royal Scots Yes. He I think he got shot in the arm left on medical terms and then joined again and came home. You know Richard I've been to some of these. You know some of these graveyards and the horrendous thing is when you have a look in these these were young men for every year from both sides young men 181920 years old they were John I've I've come across myself and it is to look at the the numbers of graves and to look at some of the ages but I think it's important to put that into the context of teaching young people today who want to know why it's happened and what happened to these individuals and that's the key thing as part of this visit Charlie what did it feel like then traveling to these battlefields where you know your great great grandfather fought. Felt. But we're kind of you know we're not he. When you look at how young these people were how does that make you feel as I mean how do you. 44 teams a people not much older than you were dying on the battlefields What did you make of what you saw just just terrible really. And when you look back I don't know if you saw the videos on the B.B.C. Website where they took the black and white film for the World War One and they put it into color and you realize that although it seems like a long time ago a 100 years is not long ago did you have a look at it and can you can your brain compute that this wasn't that long ago it's very hard to imagine. Richard is it hard to imagine because oh you know that it strikes me that we remember the 1st war because there is video it's within some people's living lifespan but the danger is these things just fade one day we won't remember you know 200 years from now maybe we won't remember it I think only the key thing is is with remembrances that we do keep keep the memory of what happened a long life but and having the film does help and it helps us bring those historical pieces to life for our architects and for the young people and adds an element of context to the history I'd like to think that we wouldn't forget now that we have there some where we instilling that memory of what happened into the young people today and they will take that forward with them what Charley last word to you what did you what did you learn what does the Great War the 1st war mean to you I learned just how sad it really is like you go. And see all the. Century graves and you learn. When you listen to in the history which not quite is quite yet. In the B.L. Then you know when you look at it. Charlie Lester the cadet Richard Crawford from the Army Cadet Force Let's talk to folks me at hello hello welcome along thanks for coming in now we get a couple things to look at and if people are self employed it will be affecting them and also debt and pensions so let's look at these issues you want to talk around and being self employed in this is I think it's around 15 percent of the U.K. Workforce not class to self employed quite a bit of wrangling as to whether you are self employed going through there you can of course cetera just now. It's got a lot of appeal but plainly it's got a lot of risks as you know some of the numbers here are quite striking Yeah they are and as you rightly say and we talked a bit a bit last week we talked to the changes are likely to happen to self employed over the next few years to bring them in line with with employees the different when self-employed pay tax and National Insurance and most people who most people who become self-employed apart from those who become so of become so by accident or you know because the company are working with insists that they have a self employed contract of some sort but most people who become self-employed I do it because of a portly she has the flexibility of been able to be able to choose the owner is that what you want with days in which you walk in where you want from so it does it does have a huge amount of appeal for some people but of course the uncertainty and the rest comes from the fact that it's basically nearly the age of the absolutely no guarantee region that payment is coming from and therefore from that point of view from a personal finance point of view it becomes very difficult for the for the self employed to do budget and I think even even from a can a basic point if you just had a conversation upstairs with a couple people who started asking me questions over lunch about what has been self employed mean you know can I clean for this and can I clean for that and I think I think there's a lot of people become self employed without necessarily taken taken the advice that they need to take to work out how to structure their businesses so from a very simple point if you start working for yourself should you be do you do it assault. Or you just as an individual that gets money from from people for doing what for them or should you set up a limited company and if you separate limited company then it's not as not use not join BT as an individual is trading with with that person you're working for is joint BT limited and that creates a different set of you know legal procedures and accounting procedures so that's one of the very 1st questions that people need to ask themselves and quite often accountants because people don't a limited company because they see that as being more tax efficient for people and sometimes the tax deal ends up wagging the can of business dog a few lakes I think people need to be really careful when it gets to that starting point but the risk this in him and been self employed regardless of how you structure the way you're self employed is who pays you and when when you I mean how much they pay you so that you can then work that you're going to structure the income that comes in on a monthly basis with with the bills that you need to appear regularly I mean this idea if you're successfully self employed in your money and you know how to budget but we hear so many times about Small Medium Enterprises the biggest problem is it's not that they're unsuccessful It's not that they don't have the work it's the cash flow and it's getting the money from the people that they do the work for and just keep it coming regularly because at the other end they've got bills to pay the bills stacking up they might run into as they're waiting for money to come and I mean how do you get around that it's a risk you have to take a self-employed like me but I mean I said really difficult when me I think I think the starting point is that when you're standing in voices or to people you need to make sure that you're put on the invoice you know what timescale you expected to you know you expect to be paid by you know so you know your payment due within the next $14.00 days or 20 times you're only playing a villain or something you can well see if you can pursue it be can pursue people for nonpaymen
