and i want to see if these allegations point to any contravention of uk law. and then i will take action against the enforcement of that dovetails with gdp, the general data protection regulation, which came into effect under your watch. how valuable and effective has gdpr been as a legal framework? the strength of the gdpr is that because there were high fines and new enforcement tools for the regulator, companies paid attention to it and data protection, instead of being just an i.t. issue, became a board level issue. and so i think companies took data protection seriously for the first time in 20 years. i want to briefly look at how the criminaljustice system is being influenced by the icao. during your time as commissioner last year, you released investigation into the use of mobile phone extraction by police forces conducting criminal investigations in england and wales. those safeguards are now going to be enshrined in law, which a lot of people have put down as a big success for your office. what were you concerned about and what will this work mean in

inflation in the uk hit a ten—year high. and as prices rise, wages aren't keeping pace, and it means a squeeze on already stretched incomes. when we talk about a standard of living and income squeeze, we mean prices are going up faster than wages, and that is what we are. and that can be unpleasant and it will be one of the biggest issues for next year. how does the chancellor respond? he is in a difficult spot, because his instincts are to get the public debt down over time, and if you look at the amount of total debt in the uk, it is at £2.2 trillion. to give you an idea how much that is, if you went back to when the pyramids were being built 5,000 years ago and started spending £1 million per day, you would be about two thirds of the way through it by now. so, it's a huge number. it doesn't really matter because usually, you measure debt compared to income, the national income, and the total national debt is equal to our total national income, roughly. and that is the highest it has been for a long time. his instinct is

during the pandemic, thousands of dog thefts were reported across the uk and ireland. this is the story of molly, one of those stolen dogs, and the fight to bring her back home. are you good? i would actually rather know that she was dead than to imagine the sort of people that she's with right now. a miniature, bitch, two—year—old, lads. it's the smell that gets - you first and then hundreds of these eyes - looking back at you. i have seen people taking photographs of dogs. i guarantee that i can look on dog for sale pages and see those pictures. only a very, very small percentage of people are actually prosecuted for this. good girl! she still has love to give and still has faith - in the human race. good girl, good girl! we haven't stopped fighting for even a single day, and we never will. are you good? one of my favourite things that i remember about molly is that she just had so much love inside herfor all of us. she's just so lovable and kind. the last photo that i took of molly, mollyjust stood there behind the flowers. in those photos, she really looks like

you mentioned abuse and earlier mentioned social media, and one of the big challenges we face in the uk with regarding some of our black sports stars is online racial abuse over instagram or social media generally. is that something you have experienced? how concerned are you about the effects of that and the role these big tech giants have in it? it's horrible. people call me all kind of things. sometimes i wonder if they think we don't have feelings or this stuff doesn't matter to us. every now and then, you read it. i don't even read the good parts, which is sad because that one person who says something mean. you shouldn't be getting that kind of hate like that. everyone is allowed that opinion, but they can keep it to themselves, they don't have to write it there. people should stand up a bit more. cos we work hard every day, we're under pressure and we have to perform. we go out there and we give it everything we can. you're not always going to win everything, you're not always going to perform as well as you usually do. when you have been called because of your skin colour, and i

because remember, you know, the uk government wanted to track them down. and actuallyjihadi john, mohammed emwazi, was eventually killed by a drone strike, and they knew that they were wanted men. so, we had no direct contact with them. the next thing that happened was that, mysteriously, suddenly they turned up in a kurdish prison. just before we get into the detail of how you then met two of them, just let's talk about the victims and their families. you know, just remind us who were the victims. these were largely aid workers and journalists. they were people who had gone out to syria to do good things. in the case of people like james foley, the american journalist, he went out there to tell the stories of suffering in syria. and also aid workers, people like david haines from perth in scotland, who had gone out to syria to help people. they all left behind these families, including here in the uk and several in the us as well. and families you made contact with. why did you do that? i know, i can see obviously it adds a human element, but i think ther

a stormy weekend for the uk. saturday saw malik bearing down on northern britain, scenes like these quite common across eastern scotland, damage, a lot of trees down and this is the area where the wind is really piqued in terms of their customers. tomorrow, though, we could be facing similar problems as we have another storm that has been named by the uk met office is storm corrie following a similar path. these are the wind gusts. again, storm corrie will have the potential to cause very similar gust of wind. by the time we get into saturday night malik is off toward scandinavia. they are going to see little ridge of high fish are actually building across the uk. it will be a comparison earlier in the day almost eerily quiet. the windfall is light, sky is clear, and with the stillness we are likely to see a frost developing, particularly across the eastern side of the uk, temperatures just below freezing. further west i think they will have a degree or so above. sunday will dawn with sparkling sunshine, widespre

but quite a temperature contrast across the uk. in fact the breezes just about coming off the atlantic across scotland so frost free here and frost free generally for northern ireland too. but frost will be across the southern half of england and wales, minus four degrees and one or two spots. it is also where the fog is going to be forming in the centre of this high pressure here. some of that fog will linger into the afternoon. for most of us a saturday the problem with the high pressure and the winless conditions, particularly the london and southeast will be pollution. that�*s what sometimes happens when you get these very stable conditions with the light winds, the pollutants get some very high levels. but for friday so this is going to be for london and the southeast most of us a bright day with slightly fresher air and temperatures around about five to 7 degrees was up more for breeze on saturday which means that some of these pollutants will put blown away. the weather, not a bad day for most although we are to start off

even in long established democracies like the uk, plenty of evidence suggests that from the workplace to the law courts, there is an awful long way to go. my guest today, baroness helena kennedy, has been trying to loosen the grip of the patriarchy in the british legal system for five decades. is she winning the battles that really matter? baroness helena kennedy, welcome to hardtalk. nice to be here. it's great to have you. you have had a pretty extraordinary legal career spanning some five decades. yes, i know. you used to talk about a system that smelled of the patriarchy, a man's world. do you still see britain's legal system like that today? oh, yes. i mean, i think that we haven't yet managed to remove that power imbalance. it's still there. and, of course, a lot of work has been done and we've you know, reformed certain areas of law and we've seen women in many more positions of authority and power. but there's still an authority gap. there's still those problems of the ways in which women are treated and the issue of violence against women is still a serious problem even in a
