Charlie TaylorHOST
It's called Revealed, the vast scale of England's 255 million pound illegal care industry.
Charlie TaylorHOST
I feel like this is something that if you're not, you know, if you don't, not in the industry or, you know, know, don't know a kid, you know, there's been, or maybe, you know, if you just don't know some, somebody that's been in the childcare system, um, I feel like this just goes very much under the rug.

Charlie TaylorHOST
I think this is something you should all know about.
Charlie TaylorHOST
I think this should be national news, if I'm honest.
Charlie TaylorHOST
I don't think I should be reading this off, like, you know, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
Charlie TaylorHOST
I've got plenty more of this, so I should be...
Zing TsjengHOST
Well, in two thousand and twenty-three, he actually became embroiled in quite a high-profile tax dispute.
Zing TsjengHOST
Uh, in investigations by the Sunday Times and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism reported that he had attempted to be treated as a non-UK tax resident after receiving a dividend of about three hundred and ninety million pounds.
Zing TsjengHOST
He potentially avoided a tax bill estimated at, oof, a hundred and eighty-six million.
Simon JackHOST
Yeah.
MarkHOST
Government cuts leave UK facing chicken waste crisis.
MarkHOST
So the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, which is an online media website, have seen a letter from the energy minister in the UK saying the government will pull the plug on key funding to facilities that process chicken waste.
MarkHOST
Without the free money, a number of these plants will close, leaving colossal quantities of chicken excrement needing to be disposed of.
MarkHOST
The excess waste is likely to be spread on farmland, which causes toxic runoff that can poison the air, land, and water.
Mustafa DarsotHOST
Alongside the ground wars, the U.S. conducted largely undeclared air and drone campaigns in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, and against ISIL in Iraq and Syria.
Mustafa DarsotHOST
Since 2004, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has recorded 423 U.S. strikes in Pakistan, killing an estimated of 2,500 to 4,000 people, including 424 to 966 civilians in yemen it recorded at least 186 strikes and raids killing at least 853 people including 178 uh sorry 158 civilians you can include the late sheikh anwar ulaki and his two children in somalia 19 to 23 strikes between 2001 and 2016 killed 188 276 people in 2011 during a crackdown on protests in libya under muammar gaddafi u.s and nato led an in an air campaign under a u.n mandate to protect civilians over seven months there were nearly ten thousand strikes to be precise nine thousand seven hundred strikes to 10,000 strikes launched on the country before Gaddafi was captured and killed by rebel fighters, according to Amnesty International.
Mustafa DarsotHOST
In 2014, the U.S.-led campaign against ISIL in Iraq and Syria, known as Operation Inherent Resolve, involved a strong air and ground campaign involving tens of thousands of bombs.
Mustafa DarsotHOST
By 2018, the destruction and loss of life was significant, while officials acknowledged For 1,417 civilian deaths, Air Wars, according to Air Wars, a London-based non-profit that tracks civilian harm from military operations, estimate the true toll at between, not 1,417.
Ros AtkinsHOST
James, you're still here.
Ros AtkinsHOST
You were editor at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
Ros AtkinsHOST
I just wonder, when you were considering undercover reporting, what are the factors that go into deciding if this is justifiable or not?
James BallGUEST
It is quite difficult to get over the line to do an undercover, especially if it's going to go out on UK television.
Helena WadiaHOST
The problem was it wasn't true.
Helena WadiaHOST
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism looked into the numbers.
Helena WadiaHOST
Turns out the 180 family members actually related to 1,800 Cameroonian workers who had arrived years earlier, not the 12 who came in the year to 2026.
Helena WadiaHOST
And far from the 15 to 1 ratio the Times reported, Home Office figures showed those 1,800 workers each brought with them fewer than two dependents on average.
Matilda MallinsonHOST
Of course, it was on page 22.
Matilda MallinsonHOST
Yeah.
Helena WadiaHOST
So I want to quote this economist speaking to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
Helena WadiaHOST
Jonathan Port, he called this coverage clickbait racist bullshit.
AshleighHOST
So...
AshleighHOST
Back in June, those absolute heroes at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism wrote an article highlighting that Amnesty International had exposed years worth of anti-trans reporting at four different UK newspapers.
AshleighHOST
We're not going to bury the lead here.
AshleighHOST
It was an analysis commissioned by Amnesty International that showed that The Sun, The Telegraph, The Times and Sunday Times and The Guardian published a combined 16,913 articles on trans-related topics between January 2020 and April 2025.
Effie WebbGUEST
Yeah, so I'm Effie.
Effie WebbGUEST
I cover AI and tech at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, or TBIJ.
Effie WebbGUEST
We're a non-profit investigative newsroom, and we kind of cover what's going on when it comes to AI in terms of the here and now and the human stories, as opposed to, you know, what might happen in 10 years.
Effie WebbGUEST
And I didn't expect to kind of be in this AI political far-right world that I've ended up in, but here we are today.

Sean AdamsHOST
If I remember right, I think they lost their deposit in that election as well, didn't they? I think they did particularly well.
Sean AdamsHOST
Harriet, how did you first come across it?
Harriet WilliamsonGUEST
It was when the Bureau of Investigative Journalism approached Novara to collaborate on this investigation.
Harriet WilliamsonGUEST
We'd been covering the Gorton and Denton by-election fairly heavily.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
The numbers are staggering.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has tracked U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia since 2002, and their data show somewhere north of 14,000 total strikes, with estimated deaths between 9,000 and 16,000 people, of whom between 900 and 2,200 were civilians.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Those are wide ranges because the U.S. doesn't release comprehensive data.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
and independent verification on the ground is extremely difficult.
