One in 20122012. He was a fireman she works in education counselor a regular family all it took was back surgery to turn everything over in a few months her husband became addicted to the painkillers prescribed by dr nichols of course once you have that surgery its never quite the same and then they get some other treatment and. And you know its a matter issues with just on the judge just injuries it from being to having such a physical job and i think it just snowballed you know he persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did though so after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer.

It happens to just your next door neighbor to your uncle missy firefighters here comma city Police Officer to your School Teacher to your you know its a its not a its not a disease that is specific it could hit anybody. How come opioids indeed in america pain has become a market and the idea of not suffering even likely is a gift in drug stores that look like fast food anyone can shop for pain killers physical or psychological a painkiller exists for almost any reason. Imagine facing the day with less chronic osteoarthritis pain. Imagine living your life with less chronic low back pain. Imagine with less pain and amongst the pain killers on prescriptions are the opioids usually prescribed for back aches or headaches 2000000 americans are addicted to these pill for a reason that most ignore their opium based. M j somebody minute and i am the chair of psychiatry at Oklahoma State universitys center for Health Sciences our oath is essentially 1st do no harm and i think that thats one of the biggest problems is that doctors dont realize that by prescribe opioids. That they could doing more harm than good and weve seen that in a lot a lot of cases what with the originally prescribed for well historically the uses been for what we call cancer pain cancer does a lot of horrible things street your body and can cause a lot of pain nowadays its used for a lot of Different Things these pills a cooled hydrocodone. Contents are found to no other drugs that are legally sold on the market share the same component a powerful narcotic heroin and sometimes they are a 1000 times more concentrated. The opioid compound comes from a plant called the opium poppy and these plants are really grown mostly in asia and then theyre imported by Drug Companies into the United States but what we do with the pills is we take the good parts of the flour that you would smoke and we concentrate them in a little pill. And so the pills are much more potent than smoking ever was but in the United States we outlawed the smoking of opium in the early 1900 if you get a 3 day per script theres a 13 percent chance that youll be taking those opioids a year later so whether its a few prescriptions or a few pills its a very small amount that it takes to get addicted. To the left a lethal dosage of heroin to the right its equivalent to opium samples. To date you know something for your pain talk to your doctor. To be able to not feel pain has become a tacit agreement between doctor and patient that it what price these drugs are ticking bombs. Whos aware of that fact did dr nichols know. A wrongful death lawsuit was filed today against a midwest city dr Ragan Nichols is already accused are prescribing a massive amount of opioids to 5 patients who later died when i heard that there was 4 other deaths that i sort of thing oh good evening the midwest city doggie doctor im homeless tonight 3000000 jobs davis im just reading and listening to the dr raising as many times you can stuff and he. Was very happy she got a rest question on t. V. Oh. Yeah i dont know where it was said was this is from 3 doctors i mean did she harm i didnt know any internet i met a man why america should search. Men and marriage to. A met. You. Mean these are innate he has spent her entire life in this house this is where their daughter chelsea was born 21 years ago here also that she passed away as a painkiller overdose in 2013 their story is one of an analgesic burdened family hiding in the secret and shame of addiction. Shes headed for back surgeries dr nichols was lizas doctor for 7 years she was the 1st to fall into the trap when i 1st started seeing her i thought she was going to be ok and she was giving me Pain Medicine to help my back but as the years go by course your body gets used to that medicine so that it doesnt work you know you used to take one pain you know and now youre having state 2 or 3 pain pills because the pain is so bad. So it just increased and its just a vicious cycle because you know you got to have the medicine but you know you dont want to have to take that much medicine but you cant i could work and do my job if i didnt have those. Lisa had her own addiction what she didnt know is that her daughter was doing the same thing for 3 years chelsea had diabetes which causes muscular pains it was her turn to consult with dr nichols. And i asked her about the quantity of medicine she was given her and her response to me was chelsea was an adult that she could talk to me about chelseas medical but she could talk to me about chelseas diabetes but she wouldnt talk to me about. The medication that she was there i did trust her maybe money feeder to do it. Maybe just that the love of money maybe get that to her because i know that when she chose to be a doctor i would bet on it because she chose to want to help people. Join me every thursday on the elec simon show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you have a. We go to work see you straight home. Coming the cost and charting the future we demand any good theory to proceed it is time to assess the economic game just as the crisis changed between one company and if theres going to be a recovery what kind of beat and are there lessons to be learned. Happen planning another one of. The way or both the food. Bank itself mukti about. Plus weve got to talk so hard not to think i know how to dissipate this momentum was a plant that i was and i dont miss so much and if. This is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his own way. To. The floor and you can fall off the feet all found is worthless would be a rabbit hole given at the moment on the. What i think is this is the fund that is a constant. Thank. You. We met dr nichols almost a year ago i think she has a very good heart she wants to help people maybe a little awkward but shes got a really sweet heart my names tommy adler im in a criminal defense attorney here in Oklahoma City we represent dr Ragan Nichols or really like her very much. Doctors lose patients all the time. To accuse a doctor of. Acting in reckless disregard for her patients when we believe that she was genuinely attempting to care for them. Is a big step for the government thats a. That exposes doctors to a lot of risk newsgroup troubled people these patients were abusing the things that they had access to. It wasnt the amounts that dr nichols prescribed these people that killed them it was the amounts that they decided to take. Her line of defense is set to shift away the shadow of responsibilities dr nichols was an irreproachable professional who was duped by drug addicts and she never had any awareness that her patients were facing any danger whatsoever nowadays in Oklahoma City addiction can be seen at every corner. I think america got here because we are the most medicated country in the world you climb we are a ton tree if that is a fast food quick fix is now now i now feel that. Heres her heres a pill. Function heres a pill. He went to the center as a patient since then shes become the head of the facility in order to save. Everyone here. This. Place is a year. At 21 years old kyle is in rehab for the 1st time. Sub or other. Im good man are you feeling. All right. And here and will good will get everything started. Right after you guys. Go. To college and hes the father of a little boy but 4 years ago he became addicted to opioids and then heroin. Rights and opiates heroin and oxycontin anything else now ok and this is the 1st treatment on right all right are you feeling very emotional i actually. The motion of everybody shes waiting for her boy to come back. Is going to take cal ballard 30 days for you to really begin to see a change. So is life and death man theres only 3 ways out of this which is get sober which is what i pray for you on the 2nd one is his prison if youre lucky. 3rd one is the bury. I dont know how else to say it but a memory and i cant do that said the rumor as. Our own so much that i would rather not see. Them who are right this moment i dont know. Really will be out of the one who. Are all good here. Kyle has 90 days to learn to live without opioids. How it feels a warm body is a a lot. Like thought process its slow. And just about a lot of anger and there are a lot of. Sad emotions in the assist i cant keep my lotions in one place. And on top of. Her i just are of the opiate. One of our friends died for all of us for this and. After that we in my friends kind of stuck together and were doing these pills and it was just blocking out so much pain we were so stressed out and. Fighting back tears every day i think thats how i wanted things and it was just blocking out that pain. And made me feel good if they forget it they actually helped me out with a lot of things depend on it. I was. That was my girl you know that was my love and then. Just this last year like too many too many bad things of loss for family and that wasnt enough that wasnt enough to that room or change and mentally im our head by not gotten close to suicide. A lot of these pills are lost and i dont think that they should be legal. Just like tobacco addiction the dangers of opioids have been hidden it has taken 20 years for the government to take action for financial things. In my office while the lawsuit against purdue pharma. Allergan so long and janssen pharmaceuticals. In putting this lawsuit together. We believe these companies are culpable for the tragic heartbreaking number of oklahomans who have become addicted or who have died as a result of the Opioid Epidemic in our state. Hes the Oklahoma Attorney general and the 1st one in his country to go to battle. My counter is publicly accusing pharmaceutical companies of having caused this epidemic. He wanted to prove that he and his team have been investigating for more than a year. Yes my name is Regina Whitman of an attorney here in Oklahoma City. And my mind is model burrage i am my lawyer in oklahoma. Carol hunter hired my law firm Whitman Burrage to represent the state of oklahoma and. Try to recoup all of the costs that the state has incurred because of the Opioid Epidemic we need this person in is a. Case. I think were going to be able to prove that 80 percent of all the crime in the state of oklahoma is directly caused by this Opioid Epidemic and our prisons are overfilled because of that loss of productivity of taxpaying citizens costs the state money but im anxious to get this 1st this 1st battle started. What they did to this country. Is from. Their estimates bring the cost of the epidemic to 7000000000. 00 in oklahoma. This is story cool hearing will take place in a few days. Today reggie which will explain his motivations to a group of students for this struggle is a personal one. Partner a gene has been involved in the opioid addiction the opioid crosses ever since the death of his son brian and i had a nice that also related to drugs and so when the attorney general talked about representing the state. In this case. I think he knew that we both had family members and because of the epidemic. Were going to talk to Incoming Freshman athletes at the university of oklahoma im going to tell on. A story about my son brandon. That the power of addiction and how dangerous it is and maybe. Save somebodys life. I think i got a chance to shake almost everybodys hand when you came in i was trying to figure out what sport you are its hard to guess every sport from your you know your size but thank you guys for coming. So let me introduce you to my co speaker tonight this is brandon. And rand is not here today and ill tell you why later this is me when i was at o. U. And i had this young son and also when i had more hair. I was a cute little kid brant his plan was to go to college and play football which he did. And he ended up playing on the National Championship Football Team never got in any kind of trouble in the drug that brought him down as an opioid and it did not come from the streets it came from a pharmacy i just told him stop using those pills and i found out its not that easy i found out its like telling a diabetic to use more willpower and stop needing insulin you cant do that and thats crazy. I never told him about addiction i never warned him. And so now i i have survivor guilt now but im living with it so i started a foundation called fighting addiction through education because i think education is the key to this problem when i tell this story is schools it gets so quiet you could hear a pin drop. And theyre not really interested in me theyre interested in brandon they i show pictures of him he was one of them hes just ordinary kid and if an ordinary kid like brandon can end up getting hooked they could and that is the truth these pills that big pharma sells. Theyre essentially heroin pills most people dont know that but these opioids are essentially the same this heroin thats the key telling patients that theyre not addictive thats the killer literally thank you guys for being a good audience and im hoping some of the information ive shared with you today might help you in a good way. Richie son never managed to quit. In someone responsible for his misery. Pharmaceutical. Nope. No shots. Action. No. Point ch your thirst for action. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area rush up. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it is 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. And we said. Just that. Is enough. But im also the most companies you know ive been a kid who says you know. When i meet. People in the school you know he goes from didnt you know just to see his pull you know i call. Them and then they hit a safe enough. To see him in the middle. Of this. Thing they. Come to your list. So to. Speak is the. Welcoming our viewers from around the world live from Central London this is all its a u. K. Its thanks to the caution we should so far the. Tests are being met new and some. Of the governments achievement if you were a cheat. The Prime Minister says its time to start easing lockdown in england with schools open and larger groups allowed to meet all circles questions for science its on his chief advisors lock down behavior. System failures in the governments new coronavirus test and treat scheme and a lack of key infrastructure need to concerns that it isnt fit for purpose. Ah. Beijing protests erupt in hong kong as the u. K. Sought to joint declaration condemning chinas move to impose a new security in all the British Foreign secretary his threat to extend u. K. Views or rights to citizens in the region. Government constabulary concludes that the Prime Ministers chief advisers look down trip to plan a colossal could have been a mind of breach of the regulations Police Chiefs warn his behavior could make enforcing existing restrictions impossible ill be talking to a former Police Officer. Of the b. B. C. News night host and he made this race impartiality rules with comments on Dominic Cummings as 250 complained to the protocols team watched on. Prime minister Boris Johnson as announced plans to ease lock down measures in england including parties of up to 6 being allowed to meet in private gardens. But he also attempts to shut down further questions for his scientific vices on his chief political adviser Dominic Cummings lockdown behavior says its claimed the british governments test and Trace Program to control the spread of coronavirus simply isnt fit for purpose and he has hes and he joins me with the latest here in the studio so easter tell us 7 more about what was said at this press briefing just about an hour ago or Boris Johnson was facing up via daily governmental briefing with an update as to his strategy or his roadmap out of the lockdown and he was going through a number of tests which he said the country had now met which would enable the country to come through this period of the lockdown and to continue to ease on things like children returning back to the classroom as well as people gathering in gardens and other open spaces its thanks to the caution was shown so far that all 5 tests are being met. Its not my achievement or the governments achievement it is your achievement its only possible thanks to your resolve and dedication to our National Purpose to overcome this virus so the result is we can move forward with adjusting the lockdown in england on monday 1st as i set out on sunday we will now reopen schools to more children. Closing schools has deprived children of their education and as so often it is the most disadvantaged pupils who risk being hardest hit we will allow up to 6 people to meet outside provided those from different households continue strictly to observe social distancing rules by staying 2 metres apart we will now no allow people to meet in gardens and other private outdoor spaces but if mr johnson wanted to focus chairing todays briefing on the easing of lockdown measures the journalists who of course take part in the q. And a following it had different ideas in mind their focus as it has been for the last few days is on the issue of Dominic Cummings seeming to break those lock down measures himself and whether he will be held accountable for that those are the questions that they were looking to put to a Prime Minister who was clearly not in the mood evolved chris and patrick but im going to interpose myself if i may and protect them from what i think would be. An unfair an unnecessary. Attempt to ask a political question is very very important that our our medical offices under the advisors do not get dragged into what i think most people recognise is fundamentally a political argument. Mr johnson also try to avoid the question being posed to his chief medical officer chris witty who was also in that press conference that press briefing as to which he himself having no interest whatsoever to get involved with that issue. But i can assure you that the desire not to get pulled into politics is far stronger on the part of the patrick in me than it is in the in the Prime Minister has. Now while mr witty might call it a political issue there are those within sage the Scientific Advisory group for emergencies who would disagree their view is that the behavior of mr cummings is the Health Matter because it goes to the very core of sticking to the lockdown measures and if one of the governments most trusted advisors himself has been keeping to it then they argue it has an impact on the publics perception as to the need to keep to those on the street sions and again those scientists and others stressing that the public must continue to observe things like social distancing and not making unnecessary journeys where possible and these are the launch of test and trace that has had major issues to absolutely we saw the test and trace system launched earlier this morning by the government now that would entail 25000 contact traces foden people but how does the system work well if anybody in the country is deemed to have symptoms then they are told to seek a test once they get tested and if they test positive then asked to give the names of those people who they are in regular or lengthened contact with the context is then contact those people to say youve been in contact in touch with somebody who is positive or is tested positive for coded 19 and then all parties are told to self isolate however this program hasnt been launched without its own problems the website that was launched as part of it has been down following the launch of it in the morning this is the context raising that Advice Service website a message on the screen showing that theres been some type of Critical Incident with the administration of that Similar Program called protect having already been launched in scotland but the government still having to iron out the number of kinks there are accusations that this has been rushed perhaps to distract people from a different political story. Its thank you very much indeed for that r. T. Casey. I mean one of scotlands 1st minister nicolas sturgeon announced her countrys own version of the test and trace scheme its called test and protect my confidence in that conclusion is bolstered by the launch today of taste and protect our system of taste treece isolate were not asking any person who has symptoms of course in 1000 that is a cough a temperature or loss or change of taste or smell to take immediate steps to taste dont wait to see if you feel better before beginning a test and apart from going for the taste you and all people in your household should say off a silly if you are contacted by test and protect to say youve been pointing out with someone who has tested positive please follow the advice to sell face elite for 14 days to discuss im not joined by former member of the Scottish Parliament Tommy Sherrod im told me how as you thanks for joining us. Now why not stick to one single system for the entire u. K. I think its important though to put this whole situation into context we have the law inch of to contact him 3 systems to be one for england one for scotland a part of that is going to be different ones in wheels in Northern Ireland and thats a situation that is part and parcel of the overall disaster that has approach of the u. K. Government to the call that 1000. This is 3 months too late we have over the last 48 hours almost 800 new corbet bits 800 s. And all tragedies tragedies for families island this is you know new zealand 00 binya one these countries all across europe how had their esque. And chris systems and place much area and are therefore much more in control of the west vitus we ending u. G. Have more combined deaths than 43 utopian countries put together a belt saw my biggest concern is that scotland has been done better as far as dealing with corporate is concerned im glad weve got our own base the critics system i would have preferred that we had approached best whole lot ilia that we had the best and protects us the many months ago and that we continue to be very cautious as far as school is going but as far as the amount of people youre allowed to could have social contact whether it was starting is very clear that you can have contact with members of one other who one other official johnson say no not sets are actually getting l. Assess all originals as it hit all those 8000 new infections i believe as it he nor that is the top of the league next to america or world weighed deaths we have the highest risk of death and your vest has been nothing but our record of feel your bill and what has to be i think will unravel because mr cummings behavior over the last few days will totally undermined the response in england to less testing system better lies and consent or lies in people a silly theme if the get symptoms well why should be a silly when the governments chief advisor bennett i certainly dont have 260 miles to be with us and all our family and then decided to go for a pee trap while it was there to bomb not castle they are absolutely sick and the magic people can find people now even thought demands for that and i think its both. Come on this has been a joke and what we should count a lot dont know is Boris Johnson because he is literally people of leading the uki as far as just traces is can see on television thank you for joining us live here on r. T. You k. Well lets. Lets take a look at how the pandemic is affecting the 4 nations the official death toll has risen to over 37800 an increase of 377 m. Since yesterday n. H. S. England today reported 185 hospital deaths the scottish 1st minister announced 12 across all settings reported 14 a north and choose. The scottish 1st minister says the country is now entering phase one down from to morrow scots complete with households out towards what observing social distancing the countrys resisted Boris Johnsons attempts to change measures much earlier the Welsh Government has reiterated that its approach to lifting lockdown will remain cautious to protect the n. H. S. And social care system and the changes to regulations are expected to be announced by the countrys 1st minister tomorrow and all the nominees announced a list of lockdown relaxation set provisionally to begin on june the 8th it includes allowing small weddings and civil partnerships ceremonies but no more than 10 people large normal Food Retailers were open and sports will also be allowed. Now lets turn to the global figure is the 5700000 have been infected according to what Data Collected by Johns Hopkins university have been over 3 in the 57000 deaths and over 2300000 recoveries italy will recruit an army of 60000 volunteers to help enforce social distancing rules and public spaces the socalled civic assistance will monitor pizzas speeches of the markets. Has extended the citys lockdown until june the 14th the restrictions will ease from monday allowing for outdoor use and exercise in the reopening of Retail Services including dry cleaners and repair shops. Still to come. The b. B. C. Is on the far after bit of news not host im going to make this priest in potshot a few rules with me coming straight to the room down. To. Join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics. Im showbusiness ill see that. Every single culture on earth has prohibitions against. At the same time virtually every culture on the earth warns you enormously if you use killed the right person and in one setting it is the most horrendous damaging thing match in the world and in the other setting is a little wondrous thing that they will give you a medal for that people will vote through you because of that the people will mate with you because youre good at doing that sort of saying. Show me the cost and charting the future we didnt do any good period to recede it is time to assess the economic damage is the price and change the game look on the entry if theres going to be a recovery. And are there lessons to be learnt. The United Kingdom along with the us canada and australia have issued a joint statement condemning china for its imposition of a new security law in hong kong the statement says beijings move is in direct conflict with a un declaration that says the u. K. Foreign secretary says he will extend the visa rights of british overseas nationals in hong kong unless china backs down angry and beijing protests have broken out in the city r. T. Such a tailor looks at whats at stake. With current of ours dominating the headlines since february many of the stories have to fall into the wayside but one making a comeback as the wild starts return to normality the hong kong protests are now up to several months of spite stay so serious scuffles and the not came off to thousands of protesters took to the streets on wednesday the day ending on a really sour note with around 300 arrests and Police Using Pepper Spray bullets because they suspected some of the protesters had weapons including pecial bombs. We know that anti China Sentiment has been building in the region for almost a year but that was reignited last week off to beijing announced rounds for a new piece of legislation the National Security hole that has now been approved the bill has been approved by chinas legislature and it is possible that could even come into effect within a matter of weeks now that would ban treaty on terrorism really any behavior that threatens National Security also this week at m. P. s debating and not the bill about the National Anthem and that which criminalize insulting them on could see people face fines and potentially even jail time so frustrated people poured onto the streets chanting things like hong kong independence its the only way they see beijing and more and more to fear and hong kongs express which seems strange because of course it is technically china but since 1907 the area has enjoyed and large degree of autonomy under its one country 2 systems rule one thing is. This is not going to do anything for us china relations the 2 are of course economic competitors something washington does not take kindly to so weve seen trade wars shop rhetoric but in the wake of that ninetys this fragility has really turned into an open tension as the u. S. The late china for the pandemic a gate all of this beijing has said that it will not tolerate any type of interference. With the question of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region National Security legislation is entirely chinas internal affair no foreign country has the right to interfere if anyone insists on harming chinas interests china will have to take all necessary measures to firmly hit back some say that beijing has good reason to adopt such a strict tone after all in the past we have seen u. S. Government employees meeting with some of the hong kong protesters and and washington from the outset has very actively encouraged what it claims is hong kongs fight for democracy but. There are police have concluded that Dominic Cummings might have broken lockdown regulations during his trip to the county despite Boris Johnsons insistence that his chief advisors actions were reasonable and legal stop mary have examined the circumstances surrounding the journey to Barnard Castle and have concluded that there might have been a minor breach of the regulations that would have warranted Police Intervention derm constabulary viewed this as minor because there was no apparent breach of social distancing the force found that his trip to darwin with his family didnt in itself constitute a breach of the law despite government guidance to stay at home but it did find his drive to Barnard Castle to check easily site before the journey back to london could have been a minor breach and had he been stopped by police then they would have advised him to return to durham. Downing street says it considers the matter closed but a growing chorus of over 800. 00 tory m. P. s a criticize cummings at least 44. 00 saying his position is untenable x. More than and secretary Kerry Bradley says that he should consider his position while former defense secretary penny mordant said that he had undermined Key Public Health messages and former chancellor such as jabat says cummings journey to darwin was unnecessary but didnt call for him to be sacked or for more all what this might mean for the future compliance of lockdown measures im joined by former Police Officer peter kirk im good to see you peter now or Darren Police say that cummings trip to Barnard Castle was on mine that breach of lockdown drills but without any consequences is informant now impossible its not impossible but it would be inconsistent with how the police have been approaching this whole thing and the way from the start has been a lost a lost. Last resort and the police of troy engage with people who do carry them encourage them to do the right thing and when theyve done that theyve been left with a warning rather than any form of enforcement. So i think that puts a bit of the Durham Police statement which shows if they did in cams that in doing that driving unless there was any untoward aggravating factor were not aware of or that we couldnt force a and then notified words of advice the different words of advice turned around and gone on and that will be the situation though and rigs if not thousands of people around the country will have encountered if theyve been in minor breach of the regulations since it started enforcement is very much a last resort but of course we had packed beaches over the bank holiday a lot of people saying well look what cummings has done we can go and do the same. It certainly wont encourage compliance for a number of reasons number one if people are going to comply with the law will they must understand where its coming from and they must see that those responsible for passing that lure are abiding by themselves the whole concept of one law for us and one will for the the rest do as we say not as we do thats how silly undermines compliance is perhaps more likely also on a practical level you always get legal messiah but what about him when you or and when youve chosen to stop someone for speeding up going to another car and so all about him and so those sorts of things always go on and theyve now got someone else to point out with a well known story as i dont know if he doesnt have to do it why do i most offices where i have any problem with that i dont just say thats not what im dealing with im dealing with the and this is whats going to happen with you but peter is going to be more complicated difficult for officers now that were seeing it a lifting of the lockdown restrictions larger groups are allowed to meet in private gardens and and its surely going to be very hard isnt it for the police to to do their job now its going to get even more confusing. Frankly its almost impossible right from the start it was really difficult there was lots of confusion about what the rules allowed and what they didnt allow there were lots of gray areas there were lots of things where. People could have all the reasonable excuses apart from the things that were were left there was never any real firm idea about whether you could drive to go and have your exercise or whether you had to exercise from your front door which would create difficulties for people that live on the 18th floor for example in an inner london area why should they not be able to. Drive all the public transport to a park or an open space nearby so its been really really difficult right from the start and frankly havent listened to the latest version to be honest if i was a Police Officer now id be saying some might seem look or less its really blatant were not going to get involved in this anymore its just too difficult because of course people dont have id theres no requirement to have any idea in this country theres no power to stop and detain people to check their id and so you know theres a 1000000 different stories they can come up with that the Police Officers going to have to go just showing up now ok dont so its sort of a waste of time unless it is a blatant breach i suspect well see very little involvement of the police from now its good to hear the thoughts from a former Police Officer peter king thank you very much indeed for joining us live on r. T. Cant thank you and finally the b. B. C. Is under fire after admitting newsnight host many make this breach impartiality rules for their comments on Dominic Cummings made his confirm she was asked not to present last nights show after the veteran reporters monologue sparked at least 247 off common complaints are a case take partridge has the details in a Global Pandemic the rao dominating the u. K. s headlines is about the Prime Minister special adviser Dominic Cummings made a controversial trip out of london during the coronavirus law. Down which has infuriated some people including b. B. C. News night presenter emily mayflowers he made those who struggle to keep to the rules feel like fools and as allowed many more to assume they can now flout them the Prime Minister knows all this Boris Johnson has chosen to ignore it the tirade was explosive and provocative and social media responded if emily makes less gets told off and cummings doesnt then i suggest we start a revolution emily mail is opening isnt biased against the government the facts are biased against the government but not everyone agreed. Understand that the b. B. C. Is being inundated with complaints about emily as a news night from last night ive also put in a complaint and im sure many many more well if you see reporting sunk to an all time low last night i pay a license fee to be given the news not for you to make it up im really made less a newsnight were biased beyond belief hash tag b. B. C. Bias oh look the b. B. C. Have deleted that emily made list clip perhaps the public dont enjoy partisan editorializing monologues quite as much as they assume and you can make an off come complaint here and thats the key point according to the b. B. C. s own guidelines all its output should achieve jew impartiality news presenters are not allowed to express their own view as fact. We must be inclusive considering the Broad Perspective and ensuring that the existence of a range of views appropriately reflected. It must be clear to all where personal are being expressed but this wasnt clear on news night there was no verbal indication or on screen graphic to clarify that this was an opinion nor were the words arguably or according to Public Opinion used which has left some people concerned its sensational media understanding really what is true and what is not true is the people and journalists have to live media itself primarily they should have their opinions as long as its disclosed as long as they say this is not the opinion of b. B. C. s my opinion absolutely not every has an opinion but its one that gets muddled as when people think oh why saying not is that what he does he think was that was he thinks they just why theyre doing in a public format which then brings into question whether its freedom of speech or theyd be writing someone for a t. V. Motive say you know i think its too much because i think they should have an opinion illustrated i think they should be able to express themselves but i suppose it depends in what parameters they do that the broadcaster has ruled that the monologue didnt meet b. B. C. Impartiality standards. Weve reviewed the entirety of last nights newsnight including the opening section and while we believe the program contained fair reasonable and rigorous journalism we feel like we should have done more to make clear the introduction was a summary of the questions we would examine with all the accompanying evidence in the rest of the program we believe the introduction we broadcast did not meet our standards of due impartiality as staff have been reminded of the guidelines but this incident comes when trust in the Mainstream Media is waning according to a new golf poll last month only 24 percent of respondents said they trust t. V. Journalists while 64 percent say they dont newspapers fare even worse with just 17 percent saying they trust print journalists with 72 percent saying they dont the Media Industry seems to be in a credibility crisis and the advent of social media has further blur the lines between free speech editorializing and the more the b. B. C. Is guidelines have set the benchmark for impartiality and establishing trust between the press and the public but arguably like Dominick Cummings those who make the rules should consider following the. Partridge party london. And thats all for this our colleagues at all to america will take over at the top for all of us here in westminster thanks for watching and goodbye. Seemed wrong.
