1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Devin Gray, UK correspondent with US. Now, hey, Gevin, Hi

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: there Heather. Right, So if you've been convicted of a crime,

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: is it possible that you might not end up you

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: might be you might end up being unable to go

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: to a power, a concert or sports match. This is

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: what the government are looking at. Yes, So non custodial

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: terms is the thing, in other words, where a court

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: imposes a sentence which is in a prison sentence, And

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: the reforms that the government is looking at here in

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: the UK are effectively going to give those courts more

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: power to hand out things like driving and travel bans,

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: as well as offenders being told to remain in specific areas.

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: And that could mean yeah, that they can't go driving,

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: that they can't go abroad traveling, and also that in

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: certain certain circumstances it's thought that that might be a

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: ban on pubs, concerts and sports matches, things that matter

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: to certain people and therefore they will think potentially twice

18
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: is the theory about committing a crime. There was a

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: review of a sentencing policy recently which came out recommending

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: fewer custodial sentences for less serious offenses. Why we have

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: got massively overcrowded presidence here, they're simply out of capacity.

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: So we've already been reporting, haven't we, on how some

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: prisoners are being released earlier through their sentences, And now

24
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: we're getting this idea that fewer people are going to

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: be sent to prison in the first place. Everyone is

26
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: not comfortable with this, but I think you do hear

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: of a number of people who have been sentenced to prison,

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: you think is that really the best way to have

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: dealt with them? So I see France's upset with Charles Koshner. Yeah,

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: very upset. And this is all over a letter, an

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: open letter that he wrote in the Wall Street Journal.

32
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: It was a letter, an open letter that he wrote

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: to the French president Emmanuel Macron, in which he basically

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: criticized France for failing to tackle a surgeon anti Semitism. Now,

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: of course, the name is very familiar, Charles Kushner. He

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: is the father of the US Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka,

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: and sorry, his son is married to Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka.

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: And Charles Kushner is also the US ambassador to Paris,

39
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: and Kushner said there had been an explosion of hatred

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: towards Jews in France since the war in Gaza began,

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: and he carried on really criticizing pretty much in this

42
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: letter what had been going on, said that he stood

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: ready to work with Emmanuel Macron and other French leaders

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: to forge a serious plan to tackle it. In France,

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: he said, and I quote, not a day passes without

46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Jews assaulted in the streets, synagogues or schools defaced, or

47
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: Jewish owned businesses vandalized. Your own Interior ministry has reported

48
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: anti Semitic incidents, even at preschools. And he said it's

49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: not good enough. France isn't doing enough to stop this,

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: and Macron has got very very upset and annoyed, so

51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: they've summoned the US ambassador for those talks. Be very

52
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: interesting to be a fly on the wall. There is

53
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: he right or wrong? Well, I'm afraid to say that,

54
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: along with the UK and other European countries, we are

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: seeing a rise in anti Semitic crime owing to the

56
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: fact that people are so infuriated about what's happening in Gaza,

57
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: and many do not believe the Israeli States official verdict

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: of the getting food supplies in and that said, our

59
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: France doing enough, you know, It's one of those things

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: that is very difficult, isn't it, to try and stamp

61
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: out and stop. But the idea that I think France

62
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: is doing nothing is very unfair. It's possible that they

63
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: just perhaps aren't putting enough effort into finding those responsible

64
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: for some of these incidents of vandalism. Yeah, hey, thank

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: you very much Kevin for running us through that. It's
