00:00 How Rihanna's mother has responded in the face of this tragedy with empathy and compassion I think
00:06 is quite frankly extraordinary and it is just a mark of her and an enormous amount of humanity
00:12 in the face of something that is the worst of humanity that she has done that and I think she
00:17 deserves enormous praise for that. Now look as a parent I also you know I'm always worried about
00:21 social media and what my young girls are exposed to that's why I'm pleased that we have passed the
00:26 online safety act over the last year and that means that the regulator now has tough new powers
00:33 to control what is exposed to children online and if the big social media companies don't
00:38 comply with that the regular is able to levy very significant fines on them.
