00:00Hello, thanks for joining us.
00:03This morning, a senseless shooting at a playground took the life of 14-year-old Corey Junior Davis.
00:10He just literally was getting fluff underneath here.
00:15His voice had just broken. His life had not even begun.
00:20I need to have justice for my son's life.
00:25Can you help his mum finally find some solace?
00:28It's Crimewatch Live.
00:31He's been jamming switchboard both here and at the instance of the Mancay's wedding card.
00:35Just to remind you, this was the abduction and rainbow block campaign and the handgun debate.
00:42Hello and welcome to Crimewatch 12.
00:45People rang and giving the same as fantastic as it was.
00:56Hello and welcome to the programme.
00:58Coming up, how the killer of 19-year-old Eddie King was put behind bars.
01:04They stole away my child. They stole his future.
01:09They stole from him the opportunity to become a man.
01:14And we're joined by Jade Hevingham from the St. Giles Trust to hear how they are helping kids at risk
01:20of getting caught up in gangs.
01:22And does your phone ring off the hook with scam callers?
01:26Louise Baxter, MBE, from National Trading Standards is here to highlight how criminal callers are using AI.
01:33Our team and officers are waiting backstage to take your calls.

01:49And remember, those details are going to be on the screen all throughout the programme.
01:55Now for our first appeal today.
01:58In 2017, Corey Junior Davis, also known as CJ, was fatally shot.
02:03The police are still seeking those responsible.
02:08This child was telling us, I'm in fear of my life.
02:14Help.
02:17But they already had a hold on him.
02:23He's so mad.
02:28CJ was a boy that liked to look good.
02:32He was handsome.
02:34He liked to dance.
02:36He was a character.
02:39He loved to entertain.
02:40Any way that he could entertain, if it was through his silly jokes or his silly little dance moves.
02:46He liked to be the centre of attention.
02:51Corey Junior Davis, or CJ as he was known, grew up in Newham, East London, with his mum, Keisha.
02:59He was just a child that was just so energetic.
03:02And he was loved by so many.
03:06And he was loved by so many.
03:08I couldn't want for more in a child.
03:14But when CJ was 13, Keisha began to worry about who he was spending time with.
03:20There was a time when I spoke to him, he was supposed to be at a youth centre.
03:24He calls me and goes, Mum, Mum, these boys want me to sell drugs till nine.
03:30That blew my mind because I didn't understand where this even come from.
03:34It wasn't a natural way of life for him.
03:39He was being criminally exploited.
03:42A little 13-year-old boy that's naive, still learning the world.
03:45This child was telling us, I'm in fear of my life.
03:48This outside world is trying to drag me in.
03:51I'm trying not to be a part of that.
03:53Help.
03:54But they already had a hold on him.
03:56In July 2017, in an attempt to free CJ from the grip of the gangs, his family decided to relocate
04:05to Essex.
04:06CJ's living in this turmoil every day and I needed to do something drastic.
04:14Just days before the planned move, CJ went to meet friends in a nearby playground.
04:22As they chatted, a Range Rover Sport was seen driving nearby.
04:29Just after 3pm, the car stopped near the playground.
04:33The driver got out and approached CJ and his friends.
04:52My phone rang and it was my dad.
04:55And he goes,
04:56Keisha,
04:58CJ's been shot.
05:02I remember then getting to the hospital.
05:07So I'm just like,
05:08don't let it be a shotgun.
05:13Don't let it be a shotgun.
05:15And as I said that, I heard shotgun.
05:18And then I heard, it's been shot in his head.
05:21So I literally felt like a hole had opened up.
05:25And I'm falling in.
05:28But then I remember them saying that we're going to operate.
05:33I remember feeling his hand.
05:35His hand was warm.
05:36I remember saying,
05:37CJ, I'm here.
05:38I love you.
05:39They're going to work on you.
05:41And I'm going to be here when you come back out.
05:44I remember them saying to me that it was going to take six hours roughly about the operation.
05:50They were back within an hour and a half.
05:53So I...
05:57I knew that it hadn't gone good.
06:00But, um...
06:05I remember them saying brain dead.
06:09I was able to get my church to pray over him, sing over him, basically send him to his maker.
06:22Yeah, and I had to turn off the life support machine that night.
06:30So, yeah, those 30 hours was me coming to terms with that my son had gone.
06:42CJ was just 14 years old.
06:49I think we'll put a picture up.
06:50I've got a nice picture of him in Forest Gate uniform when he got an award.
06:56In March 2024, a plaque commemorating CJ's life was unveiled in East London.
07:04Is it just to pull this string?
07:05Yeah.
07:07Ready?
07:11So it says, in the lovely memory of our unforgettable dancing star, CJ, Corey Jr. Davis.
07:17I think that's very fitting.
07:19Thank you very much.
07:21They've honoured him by putting a plaque within a youth centre.
07:24He's been put above a dance studio that he used to attend and dancing with others.
07:30So the fact that they're honouring him like that, it warms my heart.
07:36Although a number of years have passed since CJ was killed, the police are still hunting his killers.
07:45For me, my life stopped.
07:49I literally don't feel like I've just been existing since that day and looking for justice.
08:02The fact that I'm being tormented by these killers is something that I didn't know humans did.
08:14I really didn't know.
08:17There's that type of evil.
08:23Justice has to be served.
08:25This is a child that we're talking about, a 14-year-old boy.
08:30He's just literally was getting fluff underneath here.
08:36His voice had just broken.
08:39His life had not even begun.
08:41So, I need to have justice for my son's life.
08:57It's just such an awful case.
08:59And I'm now with Detective Superintendent Vicky Tunstall to hear more about the police investigation into this shooting.
09:05Vicky, good morning.
09:06Do you have any idea at the moment what the motive behind this attack was?
09:11So, we don't believe that CJ was actually the target of this attack as an individual.
09:16What we do believe is that the area that he was in that day, the small playground that's in East
09:22London, was frequented by gangs.
09:25He was there with a group of other people that day.
09:28And we believe that area was what was the purpose of the attack.
09:31Essentially, it was a ride out, we think, from a rival gang.
09:35And you do know in that area that sometimes youngsters are brought into criminal gangs.
09:40Sometimes they're exploited by criminal gangs, aren't they?
09:43That's correct, yes.
09:43And I want to be really clear about CJ.
09:45He was a really young, vulnerable, 14-year-old boy, a child.
09:50And he was, for sure, the subject of exploitation by older gang members.
09:57His family were doing everything they could to remove him from that position.
10:01He was also on the brink of coming back from it as well.
10:04But sadly, that day, I'm afraid, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
10:08So sad.
10:09Let's just take a closer look at where this all took place.
10:12Just talk us through the area here.
10:14Yes, so we know that, well, this is Forest Gate in East London.
10:18And we know that the vehicle was brought from the Becton area that day, that it drove along Romford Road
10:25that you see in the bottom of the picture.
10:27It turned right into Woodgrange Road, which is in the middle of the picture, and then came up towards Forest
10:33Lane, which is this road just here.
10:36Did a bit of a circle of the back streets here.
10:39It shouldn't have taken the amount of time that it did take that journey, because we believe the driver of
10:47the vehicle was going in and out of cul-de-sacs, looking for a target, and then ultimately parked up
10:52just near to Moorwalk.
10:55And then the driver got out of the driver's door of the vehicle and walked a few paces round into
11:02the playground area of Moorwalk.
11:04Absolutely horrific.
11:05We've got some CCTV, actually.
11:07Now, this is after the incident, but it highlights just the way the car was being driven.
11:12Yes.
11:13And that's what we can see here, isn't it?
11:15And it's that vehicle there, the dark-coloured Ranger Rover Sport.
11:19Just talk us through this, Vicky, what we can see here.
11:22Yes, so this was, as you said, post-incident, post-the-shooting.
11:26The driver of the vehicle is driving fast, driving erratically, is certainly coming to the notice of other drivers.
11:35This footage is from a bus, and it was a W19 bus.
11:40We're appealing for anyone who was particularly on that bus that day that might recall this incident.
11:45But that kind of driving, at that time of day, would have been noticeable and seen by others.
11:51Now, you know the vehicle was stolen.
11:53You know that there's something slightly distinctive about this particular model.
11:56where the VIN plate is in the car, and it may trigger someone's memory of coming into contact with that
12:01vehicle.
12:02Perhaps they bought it on the cheap.
12:03Indeed, yes.
12:04So the vehicle identification number, or VIN number, as you said, was situated in the bottom left of the windscreen,
12:11in the passenger area.
12:13That's really unusual for it to be placed there.
12:15So it is something that's quite distinctive that should come to notice.
12:20So we're asking and appealing to anyone who may have come across a vehicle with that VIN number situated in
12:26that place,
12:27and to come forward.
12:28Make yourselves known.
12:29You may well have purchased it innocently, and we can remove you from the inquiry.
12:33Thank you, Vicky.
12:35If anyone needs any incentive to get in touch, an extra one.
12:38There's a £20,000 reward as well that's been put up for arrest and conviction for this case.
12:44Remember, it's a young boy, heartbroken family.
12:46So if you've got any information, please do get in touch.
12:51Well, an inquest into Corey's death found collective failings across multiple public agencies prior to his fatal shooting.
12:59I'm now joined by Keisha McLeod, Corey's mum, and his uncle, Carson Nolan.
13:04Thank you so much to both of you for being here today.
13:08Thank you.
13:08I know it's difficult.
13:10Just to start with you, Keisha, what would it mean for you and your family to have some answers as
13:17to what happened that day?
13:19First off, it will start with closure.
13:22Because at the end of the day, losing my son in such a horrific way and not having any answers
13:28to why, how, it leaves an empty space.
13:35So this would give me some form of closure.
13:38Which is so important, isn't it?
13:40Yeah.
13:40And we know an inquest into Corey's death actually highlighted systematic lapses across multiple services.
13:48And this is something that you've actually been working really hard to raise awareness around, isn't it?
13:52Yeah, definitely.
13:54Because I could see, as his mother, all the holes at the time of when he was alive.
14:00And I spoke to different agencies in regards to this.
14:03But they didn't work collectively together.
14:05And that was the biggest problem that that borough was facing.
14:10Now, collectively, they've come together and understood that they need a more holistic aspect.
14:15However, that needs to be done nationally.
14:18This is a thing.
14:18And we heard you speaking in the film earlier.
14:21You tried everything to keep Corey safe, didn't you?
14:25Yeah.
14:26As a mother should.
14:27As a mother would.
14:28I could see, like I said, one thing with my son.
14:31He spoke to me.
14:32He was very open.
14:33We had a great relationship.
14:35Even when he was very, very scared, when you think a child wouldn't come to their mum, he turned to
14:41me.
14:41And that was the biggest thing that I could take away from this, is that any time he felt scared,
14:46he came to me.
14:47And I tried my best to help him with all the relevant people, the police, social services, education, speaking to
14:54all to advise them of what he was facing.
14:57But unfortunately, he still came to this.
14:59I mean, gosh, you could see the connection between the two of you in the photos, you know, that love.
15:04And as you say, that communication, he was communicating to you, saying what was going on.
15:10But as you say, more needed to be done.
15:12Yeah.
15:13And Carson, just to come to you, in terms of the wider community, as well as the family, it's had
15:19an impact, hasn't it?
15:20Big, big, big impact.
15:22Big, big impact.
15:23All families in bits.
15:25Been over 10 years.
15:26And nothing's changed.
15:28Still in bits.
15:29So just anything, answers, just look for answers.
15:31And you hope, over time, you know, allegiances change.
15:35There may be some people that have families now, children, and they might think differently and actually want to do
15:42the right thing.
15:43Absolutely, absolutely.
15:44Yeah.
15:45Exactly that.
15:46Because, again, we're now just over nine years in.
15:49And this has been, a lot of people have changed.
15:52CJ was 14 at the time.
15:53I'm hoping that those that know anything, they may have had their own children's alliance has changed, they understand what
16:00it means to be a parent, what it means to lose someone by the understanding of what the love they
16:06had for their own children, that would make them want them to loosen their tongues.
16:10And this is a child we're talking about, a child, a vulnerable child that wasn't caught up in any crime
16:17activities.
16:18It even goes to the aspect of when the people that did say to say, take my son's life, they
16:25sung a song to me saying, we care not that your son is dead.
16:30We care not that he's a civilian.
16:32We laughed when we saw you bury your son.
16:35At that time, I couldn't believe, but I'm now hoping that people that see those things would understand this is
16:41a time to speak.
16:42And you know what we hope the same for you?
16:45We want justice for the whole family, justice for Corey.
16:48So thank you so much for coming in.
16:50We do appreciate it.
16:52And if you do know anything at all, then we'd urge you to get in touch.
16:58Well, unfortunately, Corey's story of a young teenager being exploited is a growing problem as criminal gangs groom youngsters.
17:06And we can now speak to Jade Hevingham from the St Giles Trust, who are one of the organisations stepping
17:13in to try and tackle this issue.
17:15Jade, good morning.
17:16In your experience, how do you think youngsters find themselves caught up in this world?
17:22Good morning, Rav.
17:24Quite often, it starts with something that looks completely innocent.
17:28And adult criminal gangs who are abusing children are very skilled at identifying vulnerabilities in children and young people within
17:36the online and the offline world.
17:39And we always need to remember a child experiencing county lines, which is a form of child criminal exploitation.
17:46This is child abuse.
17:49And these criminal gangs might often, sorry, might offer a young person a false sense of friendship, money, materialistic gifts.
17:59And these children and young people who need protecting, not simply punishing or criminalising, and with the right support, there
18:07is a way out.
18:08And Jade, in your experience, do you find that anyone really could find themselves drawn into this world?
18:16Ultimately, Rav, any child or young person can be drawn into criminal exploitation and child trafficking.
18:23But the adult criminal gangs can be very calculated in who they target and how they approach them.
18:30And increasingly within St. Giles Trust, practice and experiencing, that targeting is happening increasingly online too, through social media, gaming
18:42platforms and messaging apps.
18:44And we know that children who are excluded from school can be particularly vulnerable to this form of harm.
18:51And that's what we have to understand.
18:55These adult gangs are exploiting a child's very human need to feel loved, valued and accepted.
19:02And once they're in their gangs, is it difficult to get them out of it again?
19:08Sadly, absolutely.
19:10And I think it's really important that we understand just how difficult it can be for a young person and
19:16their family to exit this form of abuse.
19:18And over time, their criminality can become normalised.
19:22And some young people can be forced to recruit other young people themselves.
19:27But we must never forget that a child can cause harm and still be a victim of exploitation.
19:33Every child and young person deserves to know that it's never too late and that every child is worth fighting
19:41for.
19:42What about from a parent's or guardian's perspective?
19:46Is it difficult to spot if someone is being drawn into this?
19:50It is really difficult to spot, absolutely.
19:53And St. Giles Trust, we think that one of the most important things for parents and carers to understand is
19:59that child criminal exploitation can be difficult to spot,
20:03even when you know and love your child more than anything in the world.
20:08And I really want parents to hear this.
20:10You can be a loving, attentive, protective parent and still not realise what's happening to your child.
20:17Because if a child is being exploited, they need to know that their home is safe,
20:23it's a safe place to tell the truth and that they won't be judged by their parents
20:27and that those parents and carers really will help them.
20:31And tell us about the approach that you're taking to try and help people.
20:36Everything starts with building trust.
20:39So St. Giles, for the last 20 years, have worked alongside children, young people and families who are at risk
20:45of experiencing this heinous form of abuse.
20:48And one thing that makes St. Giles Trust so special is that our frontline staff bring their own lived experience
20:54and cultural competency of the issues that we work with,
20:58with our children every day, because we have to remember that a young person's life should not be defined by
21:04one moment or one mistake
21:06or what someone else has exploited them to do, seeing the child first and foremost and their behaviour.
21:13And all of that can be so, so important.
21:16Jade, thank you for joining us today.
21:18Thank you.
21:20Now our next film is a follow-up to an appeal we ran a few years ago into the fatal
21:25stabbing of teenager Eddie King.
21:27It features another mother's heartbreak, but at least now she can remember her son knowing her murderer is behind bars.
21:44Eddie was a happy child, full of love, full of joy.
21:50He was really kind and he loved his friends and his family so much.
21:58There is no one like Eddie. He was very unique and very special.
22:04We miss him so much.
22:26I think it was just before 11 o'clock.
22:30One of his friends just knocked the door and then shouted from outside the door, saying that he'd been stabbed.
22:44She just grabbed my hand and was leading me to him.
22:47She told me, I'll take you where he is.
22:48And he was on the ground when I got there.
22:51And I remember just holding him.
22:58I was trying to tell him to stay awake, stay awake, stay awake for the longest time.
23:03And by the time I handed him over, he couldn't keep his eyes open.
23:16It's, it's, it's, it's indescribable.
23:22What that feels like now, because in the moment you're doing the best you can and you're doing, you know,
23:29like you think you're doing the best and that's what you're doing.
23:32But because he didn't live, it's not enough.
23:36It wasn't enough.
23:54It was clear that CCTV was going to be a huge part of this investigation and ultimately that is where
24:00we began.
24:02Detectives track Eddie's movements on the day he was killed.
24:07CCTV shows him in shops laughing and joking with friends.
24:12Later on, he attended a community gathering in the St. Paul's area of Bristol.
24:18Eddie was called into the park where he approached three men at the time, two of them on the bike.
24:25As he approached the bike, the, the passenger on the back got off and immediately attacked Eddie, stabbing him six
24:32times.
24:37Eddie was able to get up and run away, but collapsed a short distance away.
24:46My instant reaction to it was probably one of shock.
24:50Just the, the ferocity of the attack and the fact that Eddie approached that bike, clearly not in fear at
24:57the time.
24:59He absolutely didn't stand a chance.
25:02From looking at the CCTV, it was apparent to me that this was likely to have been a planned attack.
25:08Whether Eddie was the intended target or not wasn't clear at the time.
25:12Over the years, there's been animosity between sometimes young people in St. Paul's and young people in Easton.
25:18And potentially, this was part of that conflict.
25:26We had two offenders on a bike, both masked, both wearing dark clothing with no identifiable logos, an unmarked, dark
25:34coloured bike.
25:37We had no murder weapon.
25:39We weren't able to recover the clothing.
25:41And so there were a number of things against us as an investigation team.
25:46If we could understand where that bike came from, where it went to after the attack, we could start to
25:52work with that.
25:56Detectives spend months trawling through thousands of hours of CCTV
26:01to track the movement of the bike before and after the attack.
26:07For officers, it's a race against time.
26:11We have real concerns that some of the CCTV is going to start to overwrite.
26:15But about a month into the inquiry, we get a little bit of gold.
26:21What we saw is, uh, after the attack on Eddie, we found the bike going into a rear property.
26:26And later, we found that it had also come from that property as well.
26:33And when we researched that property, we realized there are some names in there that are of interest to us.
26:38One name that kept coming up was Zach Talbot Young.
26:45Zach Talbot Young is somebody who was well-known to the police.
26:49It started to feel like a case was coming together.
26:56It became apparent to us that Zach was no longer in Bristol.
26:59Eventually, he was arrested in Liverpool.
27:04Where he was trying to leave the country to head towards Ireland
27:07and found to be in possession of a fairly large amount of cash.
27:11Zach is interviewed by specially trained detectives.
27:16He answered no comment to all of our questions, so stayed silent throughout.
27:23Without a confession, detectives must find further evidence linking Zachariah Talbot Young to Eddie's murder.
27:31Three months into the investigation, they turn to Crimewatch to appeal to the community for more information.
27:40On July the 21st this year, 19-year-old Eddie King was fatally stabbed after attending a community gathering in
27:48the St. Paul's area of Bristol.
27:49What I'm really asking for is for witnesses to come forward.
27:54After the Crimewatch Appeal, we did start to see more people come forward and start to speak to us
27:59and really wanted to help provide justice for Irene and Eddie's family.
28:05Meanwhile, officers analysed their prime suspect's phone data, hoping to place him at the crime scene.
28:13After some quite painstaking work, our intelligence team were able to identify the number that was being used that night
28:18by Zachariah Talbot Young.
28:20It was a brand new number, and we started working off that number to build the picture of what was
28:25happening with that phone that night.
28:27It was used during the course of that late afternoon into the evening,
28:31and then around about 20 past 5, the next morning after Eddie had been killed,
28:37that phone is turned off and never to be used again.
28:44This built a really good picture for me,
28:46that Zach Talbot Young was certainly one of the individuals on that bike.
28:52That building of CCTV, the building of the phone data,
28:56and overlaying those two things together,
28:58they were the two critical elements of this case.
29:02This was enough to charge Zachariah Talbot Young with murder.
29:07Whilst on bail, Zachariah Talbot Young carries out another serious attack on a young man in Bristol.
29:15That young person fortunately survived,
29:18but that case became built into the murder of Eddie Knuthier,
29:22so eventually both cases were tried together in court.
29:27On the 20th of November 2025,
29:31Zachariah Talbot Young is found guilty of Eddie Knuthier's murder
29:35and sentenced to life with a minimum term of 33 years.
29:39He's handed another life sentence with a minimum term of 20 years
29:44for the attempted murder of the other man.
29:56They stole away my child.
29:58They stole his future.
30:00They stole all the dreams that we had.
30:03They stole all of his possibilities.
30:06They stole from him the opportunity to become a man.
30:14Given the amount of work that went into this case over two years,
30:18I was pleased for Irene and Eddie's family
30:21that after everything they'd been through,
30:24there was a positive outcome on the end
30:26in that somebody was convicted for the murder of her son.
30:32We were close.
30:34He was so loving.
30:35He was so tactile.
30:38He was into hugs.
30:45Somebody said to me
30:46that the love that Eddie gave out there
30:49was because he knew how to love,
30:52because he was loved.
31:01to feel like I was able to pour all my love into him,
31:06even though he was for a short while.
31:09But he's still here.
31:17So sad, but great work from the officers there
31:20convicting the suspect of that dreadful crime.
31:23Now, can you help us find these wanted faces?
31:30And first, we've got Dean Robson.
31:33Police want to question him about fraud offences.
31:36He's 32, has his ears and nose pierced,
31:39and as you can see,
31:40has notable tattoos on the left side of his face,
31:44including a cross.
31:45Police say has connections across the northeast of England
31:47and Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland.
31:50Or maybe you've seen Christopher Spry
31:51or Kissy or Topper as he goes by.
31:54Northumbria police want to question him
31:55about drugs offences.
31:57He's 38, has scars on his head and arms
32:00and a tattoo saying evil on his left arm.
32:03He has links to Northumberland, Newcastle, Gateshead
32:06and Chester La Street in County Durham.
32:09Or do you know the whereabouts of Bradley Dobson?
32:12Though he uses lots of other names,
32:13including Cameron Breaker and Jason Green.
32:16He is 53 and has been recalled to prison.
32:20So do pick up the phone and get in touch
32:22if you see any of these men.
32:26Now, we always hear how advances in technology
32:28lead to new ways for criminals to part you
32:30from your hard-earned cash.
32:32And here to tell us more is Head of Scams
32:34from National Trading Standards,
32:36Louise Baxter, MBE.
32:38Head of Scams, you'll be fighting rad for that title.
32:40You're doing me out of a job, Louise.
32:41It's a good one, that.
32:42It is a good one.
32:42But tell us some of the more common ways, Louise,
32:45that AI is being used to part people from the money.
32:48So AI is enabling the criminals to work quicker
32:52and to basically supercharge all of the current scams
32:56and fraud that we're seeing.
32:57So the tactics haven't really changed.
32:58They're just sharper.
33:00So where historically we would have said things like
33:02look for typos in emails,
33:05look for logos that don't look legitimate,
33:07all of those things, none of that applies anymore
33:09because AI has allowed the criminals to use it
33:12to hone and make their criminal activities more slick.
33:16So what are the main sort of things
33:18you're seeing a lot of at the moment then?
33:19Well, fraud costs the UK economy
33:21about £219 billion a year,
33:24so something like £600 million a day.
33:26Staggering amount of cash, isn't it?
33:27It's 45% of all reported crime.
33:30We're talking, it's big business.
33:32So with AI scams,
33:34we're seeing them being able to enhance romance fraud,
33:37job fraud, so when people are saying
33:39everyone would have had a text message
33:41or a voicemail saying,
33:42oh, we've got a job opportunity for you.
33:46Investment fraud as well.
33:47So it's covering all of the different scams and fraud
33:49that we look at and that we're seeing all of the time.
33:51It's just much more clever targeting.
33:54It is.
33:54And you mentioned AI,
33:55and AI creating deep fake videos
33:58is something that we see a lot of
33:59and I've seen a lot of in another show,
34:01Scam Interceptors.
34:02And we can have a look at a celebrity version right now.
34:05Good morning, my beautiful sweet Karen.
34:06How are you doing today?
34:09Hope you're having a lovely day.
34:10It's always a sunny morning here.
34:14I'm wishing you good health
34:15because I don't want you getting hurt.
34:17Hope this brightens the remaining part of your day.
34:19Take care, sweetheart.
34:21So that's obviously a fake video,
34:23but it's meant to give the impression
34:25that it was a celebrity talking to someone.
34:27And you see that as a problem
34:28because of the trust element.
34:30Well, it's coercive control.
34:32So the criminals will use
34:32emotionally manipulative techniques
34:34to build relationships with people.
34:36And whether that's a romantic relationship
34:38or whether that's a relationship
34:39so that they can then extort their money
34:41or personal information
34:42for things like investment fraud
34:44or crypto investment,
34:45which we're all vulnerable for
34:47when it comes to crypto investment
34:48because nobody really knows what it is.
34:50So if you've got what you think
34:51is a well-known face talking to you,
34:53you think,
34:54oh, I might be able to trust that person.
34:55But clearly that was a fake.
34:57And the list goes on, doesn't it?
34:58Because it's being used to create fake hotels.
35:00Yeah.
35:01Fake bookings and fake websites.
35:03Yes.
35:04Shocking, really.
35:05Just see that one there.
35:06So that's actually the same building
35:07in both of those images.
35:09When consumers booked
35:10what they thought was that hotel
35:11based on those photos,
35:12when they arrived,
35:14they weren't able to stay.
35:16They weren't able to get hold
35:16of the hotel owners.
35:17They lost a lot of money
35:18because they'd booked a hotel
35:19that didn't actually exist
35:21because it was enhanced by AI.
35:23I mean, you wouldn't just be annoyed.
35:24I mean, it can absolutely destroy people,
35:25can't it?
35:26That could be their one holiday
35:27that they've tried to book.
35:27They turn up, they've got nowhere to stay.
35:29But it goes on and on and on, doesn't it?
35:31Because it's staggering now
35:33because voices we know
35:34can be cloned with AI technology,
35:37but it's how quickly they can be done.
35:40Well, some of the research
35:41is showing that voices
35:42can be cloned within three seconds.
35:43So you speak for three seconds,
35:45your voice can be cloned.
35:46We've seen it being used
35:48to clone people's voices
35:49so that it provides direct debit permission
35:51with financial institutions.
35:53So then people are having
35:54several direct debits
35:55taken from their accounts
35:56when they're not realising
35:57that these are going out
35:58because they've never actually
35:59given permission for it.
36:00Well, let's just have
36:01a little listen here
36:01because this is a clip
36:02of a fake AI-generated voice.
36:07I just wanted to put your mind at rest.
36:09You've got nothing to worry about at all.
36:10It really is me, Tom.
36:12I only replied
36:13because somehow
36:14you managed to find my telegram,
36:16which I honestly thought
36:17no one would ever dig up.
36:18But it's fine.
36:19Seriously.
36:21A fake voice,
36:22would you believe it?
36:23So what is happening?
36:24As head of scams,
36:25what are you doing to combat this?
36:27Language is really important.
36:28So you wouldn't say
36:30fail for a mugging
36:31or fail for a burglary.
36:32So don't say fail for a scam
36:33because it places all the blame
36:34on the victim,
36:35which means people
36:36aren't talking about it.
36:37We need to ramp up our education
36:39so that we build up
36:40our community resilience.
36:41And we need to work better
36:43as law enforcement
36:44and private sector,
36:45telcos, web companies,
36:46big tech companies
36:47to collaborate,
36:48to stop it from getting to us
36:50in the first place.
36:51One of the things
36:52I would tell people to do
36:52is have a look at
36:53Friends Against Scams.
36:54There's loads of useful tools
36:55on there.
36:56It's a really good,
36:57yeah, it's really good.
36:58We're going to put that
36:58on our website,
36:59the Crimewatch website as well,
37:00Louise.
37:00Thank you.
37:01Now, though,
37:01we're going to go for something
37:02a little bit different
37:03because we're seeing
37:04how the beautiful game
37:04is being used
37:05to keep kids
37:06on the right path.
37:11I'm Paul Barber.
37:12I'm Chief Executive
37:13of Brighton Hove Albion
37:14Football Club
37:14and Chair of
37:15Football Beyond Borders.
37:18Football Beyond Borders
37:18is a charity
37:19that supports
37:20young people
37:21that are in danger
37:22of expulsion.
37:23There's a consequence
37:24of that,
37:25perhaps not finding it
37:26so easy to get jobs.
37:27But also,
37:28some kids just come along
37:29for the connection,
37:30for the camaraderie,
37:32for the spirit
37:33of being involved
37:33in football.
37:36Football's a little bit
37:37like a Trojan horse.
37:38The programme's
37:39not about football.
37:39We use football
37:40as a way
37:41of capturing their attention.
37:43Young people do
37:44typically struggle
37:45to open up
37:46about their emotions.
37:47Football Beyond Borders
37:49practitioners provide
37:50a consistent ear and voice
37:52and then they're always there.
37:54All right,
37:55we're ready to get started, boys.
37:56Who would like to read out
37:57on the board?
37:58Yes.
37:59We work with boys
38:00and girls
38:01from year 8
38:02all the way up
38:03in year 11.
38:04You're going to look
38:05at the different images.
38:06Ask yourself,
38:07in these jobs,
38:07do you think that these people
38:08would need a lot of qualifications
38:09for these jobs?
38:10What type of qualifications?
38:12Yeah?
38:13What kind of experience?
38:14What kind of expertise?
38:16We have our own
38:17internal curriculum.
38:18We provide transferable skills
38:20for the young people
38:22that they can use
38:23within school,
38:24in the wider community
38:25and in life.
38:27So we have three
38:28different enrollment criteria.
38:29People who are at risk
38:30of being permanently excluded.
38:31The second would be
38:32passive learners.
38:33Young people who
38:34are maybe not integrated
38:36into the wider school community
38:38to help them feel
38:39a sense of belonging.
38:40And then the final one
38:41would be role models.
38:42Young people who are
38:43thriving in school.
38:45Are you all ready
38:45to play football?
38:48Let's go, let's go.
38:50The football
38:51always mirrors the classroom.
38:53So the learnings never stop
38:54and we get the young people
38:55to play,
38:56but we also incentivise
38:59situations and scenarios
39:00that kind of allow
39:02them to really learn.
39:05Football Beyond Borders
39:07practitioners provide
39:08an intervention
39:08and provide some of these
39:10young people
39:10with the support they need
39:11and hopefully steering them
39:13back to a pathway
39:14that leads them
39:15to have a better life
39:16in the future.
39:18During summer of year 8,
39:20so I was 13 years old,
39:21I was held at knife point.
39:23they call it a Z case,
39:24a zombie knife.
39:26Obviously, I was scared,
39:28frightened.
39:29I was 13.
39:30I was never involved
39:32in that life,
39:33never really saw
39:34that sort of side of things.
39:36And after,
39:37it was guard up,
39:39everyone's out to get me
39:40sort of thing.
39:41School became
39:41a lot more challenging.
39:43I would get into
39:44a lot more arguments
39:45with my teachers
39:46because the slightest thing
39:47would trigger me.
39:48And that led to
39:48getting excluded
39:49a couple of times.
39:50and those punishments,
39:52if you get too many of them,
39:53you get permanently excluded.
39:54And it was like
39:54leading towards there
39:55if I continued
39:56how I was going.
39:59When I first met Yasin,
40:01it was at a crossroads
40:01of making really
40:03life-defining decisions.
40:05He was on the verge
40:06of exclusion.
40:08Most teachers
40:08would describe him
40:09as challenging.
40:10and the reality
40:11was that Yasin's
40:13disruptiveness
40:15was a form of communication.
40:17And Yasin was just
40:17crying out for help.
40:21He went through
40:22the curriculum.
40:22We had a lot of
40:23one-to-one support,
40:24a lot of therapeutic
40:25intervention.
40:26He had that level
40:27of consistency,
40:27the congruence.
40:28But to a certain extent,
40:29he's just so intelligent.
40:31It is within him.
40:35I can't remember
40:36one single week
40:38where I did not
40:39see Pedro in.
40:40The level of consistency
40:41and care
40:42was like
40:43to the highest
40:44standard there is.
40:46Probably
40:47top three
40:48most important people
40:49in my life
40:49because he always
40:50showed me
40:51the different paths
40:52there is.
40:54I can't speak
40:55on Yasin's future.
40:56I think that's
40:57a question for him.
40:58How is he doing?
40:59Exceptionally well.
41:00Yasin is thriving.
41:02I left
41:03secondary school
41:04and I had done
41:05electrical installations
41:06level two
41:07and level three
41:09the past two years
41:10now.
41:11And I went on
41:14to work with
41:14Rebel Beyond Borders
41:15one day a week.
41:17First, boys,
41:18before we get
41:18into the football,
41:19we're going to do
41:20a little teamwork
41:20based activity.
41:22Boys, are you ready?
41:23Yeah.
41:24Three, two, one,
41:25go.
41:28I feel like
41:29a very proud
41:30uncle every time
41:30I see him.
41:31He just puts
41:32a smile on my face.
41:33I always smile
41:34ear to ear
41:34every time
41:35I just look at him.
41:36I feel blessed
41:37and privileged
41:38to be part
41:39of his journey.
41:40He has the mental
41:41fortitude
41:42and the capacity
41:43to just thrive
41:44in any area.
41:46Hold on, hold on, hold on.
41:48See now, go in
41:48and encourage them.
41:49When they come,
41:49be like, it's okay.
41:51Yasin's story
41:51shows that
41:53the education
41:55is vital.
41:57I'm very proud
41:59about the work
42:00that Football Beyond
42:00Borders does
42:01because it's
42:02a necessary
42:04intervention
42:04for many, many
42:05young people
42:06across the country.
42:07What we can do
42:08is provide that
42:09additional level
42:10of support
42:11that maybe
42:11that young person
42:12hasn't had,
42:13isn't getting,
42:14can't find
42:15to get them
42:16through difficult
42:17stages in their life
42:18and hopefully
42:18provide them
42:19with the foundation
42:19for a better future.
42:22So even though
42:24Yasin's now
42:24in a much better place
42:25than he was
42:26in his past,
42:27Pedro is still there
42:29to support and guide
42:29if and when
42:30he needs it.
42:31And that's the beauty
42:32of this,
42:32is that you can
42:33actually maintain
42:34these connections
42:35through a very long
42:36period of time.
42:37Football Beyond Borders,
42:38staff and practitioners,
42:39are just incredible people.
42:42Yasin isn't an exception.
42:43He is proof
42:44of what happens
42:45when people feel
42:46safe enough
42:46to grow up
42:47on their own terms.
42:48If Football Beyond Borders
42:50didn't come
42:51into my life
42:51at the moment
42:52that I did,
42:54God knows
42:54what it would be today.
43:01It's good,
43:01isn't it,
43:01seeing how
43:02organisations like that
43:03are helping people
43:03like Yasin.
43:04That's it,
43:05like Pedro said,
43:05that sense of belonging
43:06and support
43:07can make all the difference.
43:08It certainly does.
43:09That's it for today,
43:10though.
43:10Remember,
43:11you can watch us
43:11on iPlayer for 30 days
43:13and also share
43:13our appeals on Facebook.
43:15Tomorrow,
43:16how crocodile tears
43:17weren't enough
43:17to save the
43:18owner of a dangerous dog
43:19from getting convicted.
43:20I left the house
43:20and I said to Esther,
43:21I said to Esther,
43:24I said to her,
43:28are you going to be okay?
43:29Are you sure you can manage?
43:31And she said yes.
43:33We'll see you tomorrow
43:35at the same time,
43:3510.45.
43:36Bye for now.
43:37and I'll see you tomorrow.
43:51I'll see you tomorrow.
