. detective superintendent phil bro ahead there are other issues it's not just about international law or trials that still and organized crime across borders. which clearly is you know one of the drivers of this it's a lucrative business but in your investigations it seems to me that there must be some sort of tacit cooperation between the people who are actually employing these gangmasters these i mean they must the people that employed these people. to get these people to get work in their fields for them it's a bit convoluted i know but surely they must have known what they were getting into that you know be you can't get cheap labor without a cost somewhere surely. yeah i mean it depends really on what we say you. put it exists or simple categories we say direct exports i should absolutely employees must know i must be aware because it might be that i'm the gangmasters. something isn't right. well and i would a minimum wage that i have to be exploited but we won't see. a rising trend in the number of people who pay its employees richard smith and summers followers employers are aware

to the us of some of these is what we are seeing at the moment right phil coming back to the situation on the ground or i should say on the war so really so the situation is very tense indeed we've got the highest level of alert when it comes to british maritime forces have you ever seen a situation as tense as this before in your experience and obviously many people will be thinking back to the late 1980 is in what was known as the tanker war. i mean historically these these events have occurred or see through time the the we mustn't forget that it seems like ages ago now but there are 2007 the incident with the h.m.s. cornwall where 15 members of the wrong navy were to were arrested by the iranian guard with small boats you know that incident occurred and that led to a rise in tensions an increase in security levels but you know it was only 2007 but yet that seems like a long time ago. and i think we do need to think it's very interesting timing from the british to take the grace from the iranian tanker to rest of gibraltar because they would have known that that would have

well here's the thoughts of phil daikon now who is a security risk analyst and says a military patrol in the gulf would require a great amount of coordination. this is their main channel through to the gulf and not see the main channel to get the oil out and they are they are worried and confuses what to do so the idea of click aging or big giving commercial shipping some point protection is also your huge amount of pressure from nations so how does it work well you can provide some tool escort you can provide military vessels in the area and you can create a congresses now we've seen this already in operation further south in the gulf of aden where this was implemented in response to piracy now it does require processes procedures and it will have to comply and not everyone will choose to comply so to extent what you can do is provide a measure of protection provided by military vessels for a controlled transit with the area iran has also defended itself against the u.s. accusations at an emergency meeting of the international atomic energy agency in vienna reporting for us from ther

port of blunderbuss with the 23 crewmembers still on board well phil daikon is a maritime security analyst and the managing director of dear riyadh global he joins me now via skype from tunbridge wells in the united kingdom good to have you with us and start on the program was the detention of this british ship in the gulf regardless of the circumstances just a matter of time in reprisal for what we've been seeing in the mediterranean. i think that's absolutely the case you know we are rising saying quite clearly that there's going to be some consequences to the detaining of the grace one but what's missing from this story so far is an act that yesterday there were 2 vessels that were intercepted the mester was another vessel which is further out the west was also approached and forced to take a new course further north to iran and that vessel was later released in the afternoon and was allowed to continue on its way having been boarded initially by armed guards and that vessel that have a russian captain or which may have had an implication on why that vessel was released but abso

dots you're looking at there just the tankers operating in the region are let's talk to phil daikon he's a partner dryer global a maritime security risk management company he joins us from kent in the u.k. phil daikon this proposal to have some sort of u.s. driven security mechanism in ships at sea how does how does it work. a good morning and that picture you're sharing density a tragic it's a perfect example of why our customers in particular the company security officers are concerned this is their main channel through to the gulf and not see the main channel to get the oil out and they are they are worried and confuses what to do so the idea of katie more big giving commercial shipping some point protection is also your huge amount of pressure from nations so how does it work well you can provide some form escort you can provide military vessels in the area and you can create a congress is that now we've seen this already in operation further south in the gulf of oman some critical gulf of aden where this was implemented in response to piracy now it does require processes proced

member still on board phil dyer carney is a maritime security analyst and he says the seizure of this vessel seems like a planned move from iran there is nothing suggested anything that any rules that were broken would justify a potential a vessel and its crew so at the moment it's very difficult to pin a legitimate reason as to why these vessels or that you know the 2 vessels were approached and warmers retained there was detained sorry so at the moment the idea that the fishing vessel was involved in an incident that might be the case had that been one vessel approach but with 2 vessels approached with what appears to be quite a deliberate intent i don't think that stacks up as a story but the narrative that's been put out suits iran's overall story of just been patrolling its waters to get we also have this build up to in the wake of the getting a week where we had another british vessel approached that was a british heritage which could be seen as maybe a practice or a 1st attempt before what was yesterday a coordinated attempt of 2 vessels within an hour of each other being appro

explode on wimbledon during his defeat to the american tennys sandgren. phil neville described england's third place playoff at the world cup as nonsense. and the players were pretty crestfallen afterwards too. they lost to sweden in nice after going 2—0 down in the first 22 minutes. sofia jakobsson getting the second. england rallied later in the first half and got a goal thanks to fran kirby. and their comeback would have been complete were it not for another intervention from the var. just like in the semi final against the usa. ellen white thought she'd scored an equaliser. but replays showed she'd handled the ball in the build up. it finished 2—1. i just think maybe there was a carry on from the semifinal and emotion. and the two goals, actually, probably sparked us into a bit of life. after that, i don't think i've seen us play better after that, after that first 20 minutes. i thought the courage to keep going forward, the energy at the end, both teams were on their knees, to be fair. they gave everything. we gave it our best shot, we fell short. and we've just got to

stay in lyon and b in the final. the whole of the squad, and phil neville truly believed we could beat the usa, and not to do so was heartbreaking, especially after missing that penalty. it has taken the squad a couple of days but they have picked themselves up and they say that now they are galvanised and they are looking forward to salvaging something from this world cup, and going home with a medal in this third—place play—off. four yea rs this third—place play—off. four years ago england won bronze at the world cup in canada and several of the members of this current squad we re the members of this current squad were in that squad. they don't want to do worse than they did four years ago, and equally there were some women who were not in that squad four years ago who don't have a world cup medal. to go with something as tangible as a bronze medal would be a great achievement. it is always difficult to win a medal at a world cup, and phil neville has said that when this tournament is done, he wants to look back on it and know that england have played to the best of thei

people were killed. licensed owners who hand in their weapons will be compensated as phil mercer explains. dozens of people came to a racecourse in the south island city to hand in weapons that are now illegal. we are really proud of what we have achieved today. we have had 169 people come through today, we have had handed over 224 firearms, 217 parts, and $153,000 had been paid out to people handing over firearms. the engagement with the public, from the firearms public in canterbury, has been stunning. new zealand has been forced to change its attitudes to firearms. gun ownership has been high, but the mosque attack four months ago in christchurch prompted a ban on military—style semiautomatics. more than $130 million has been set aside to compensate owners of prohibited weapons. they have until december to hand them in. more than 250 buy—back events will be held across new zealand. some owners are complaining that the amount of compensation they will receive is inadequate. but in christchurch, there is an acceptance that gun owners must do the right thing. the law changed

semifinal, we had phil neville in charge so we can only hope to build on that. then the money and sponsorship starts to come in and gain momentum. absolutely. the times on its front page says postman is feel —— postman feel the pain of dog bites. there were over 200 attacks last year resulting in serious and permanent injury. —— 2000, over seven a day. people feel it isn't their responsibility to control their dogs. this is down to a rise in the number of online ordering, shopping and therefore an increase in packages arriving at people's' homes. ten or 15 years ago there was talk that the post was going to become obsolete because everything was going to be online and completely paperless. it turns out the internet has proved a massive base for both royal mail and delivery companies. yeah, it is interesting and easy to treat this asa interesting and easy to treat this as a light—hearted story but of course if you are trying to deliver this it is a serious issue and there are wider concerns about whether people are doing enough to control their dogs. i had a paper around

seat. our correspondent phil mackie has been to the local conservative association there. what has the reaction been to the new prime minister? asi as i would expect in most parts of the country, they‘ re as i would expect in most parts of the country, they're probably not entirely focused on westminster, they have been trying to focus on they have been trying to focus on the weather today. it has been as much as 33 degrees today, most people looking for a cold drink and ice cream and to find shades. but when you talk to them about boris johnson, there are mixed views. this isa marginal johnson, there are mixed views. this is a marginal city, a labour target in the next general election, a seat they held between 1997—2010, but for they held between 1997—2010, but for the rest of the last 50 years, it has been a conservative seats, voting with the country and every referendum since 1975. it has been a bellwether constituency that voted to leave by 37%, not far off the national average and for the west midlands, quite low. the deadline of october the 31st is playing a lot of pe

coach phil neville, having lost the dramatic semifinal, he says his team wa nt to dramatic semifinal, he says his team want to end the tournament on a high. we wa nt we want to win this game, we want to go away with something to show. but also six wins and one defeat sounds better than five wins and two defeats. i want to lay on a sunbed next week happy that we finish the tournament well and not finish on two defeats. today we have the last two matches of the group stage of the cricket world cup with sri lanka taking on india at headingley and australia south africa at old trafford. unsurprisingly pakistan went out yesterday, confirming new zealand's place in the semifinals, alongside england, india and australia. pakistan needed to beat bangladesh by at least 308 runs to reach the semifinal, an almost impossible task. they won by 94 runs. the tour de france gets under way today in brussels. the riders will cover over 2,000 miles before finishing in paris in three weeks' time. defending champion geraint thomas is in the unusual position of co—leading team ineos with egan bernal aft
