On Friday's instalment of Good Morning Britain, presenters Adil Ray and Kate Garraway were detailing the latest headlines.
Good Morning Britain's Adil Ray and Kate Garraway discussed Raneem's Law, which is coming into place this week. The law was named after Raneem Oudeh, who was tragically murdered in 2018 alongside her mother by her ex-partner.
Detailing the law's implementation, Adil questioned Raneem's aunt, Nour Norris, about whether she felt any sort of salvation that Raneem's law would make a difference. Nour Norris replied: 'It's not going to bring them back. But at the same time, there are a lot of victims out there who are desperate for help, and they never used to get the help they deserve, just like Raneem. But today, hopefully, this hope will bring a light to their lives.' She explained that safeguarding shouldn't be a luxury but something everybody deserves. She added, 'We must have that system in place to support and help victims.' While speaking to Nour, Kate said: 'So powerful, the way you put it, and so graceful to have that, because when you hear that call, I feel an overwhelming sense of rage and frustration; I'm sure you do as well, and have done.' According to Gov.uk, Raneem's law will embed the first domestic abuse specialists in 999 control rooms. To ensure victims receive specialist support, it will happen across five forces in England: West Midlands, Northumbria, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, and Humberside. A statement reads: 'These domestic abuse specialists will ensure that calls for help are properly assessed.' The law was established in memory of Raneem after she was tragically killed at the age of 22. Raneem had made 13 reports to the authorities regarding her concerns. However, no arrests were made. She rang 999 on the night that she was murdered four times, but sadly, the police did not respond in time. During Friday's Good Morning Britain, ITV viewers heard one of Raneem's calls. She could be heard by the 999 operator telling her to return to her mother's home and call if her ex-husband turned up. She said: 'That's the problem when I'm calling, they're not coming quickly.' When the call ended, Kate confessed that it made her feel 'sick' listening to it and knowing what happened afterwards. Speaking about Raneem's Law on Good Morning Britain, MP Jess Phillips added: 'What we hope to see is a cultural change within the call centres. 'What we have to do is look at cases like Raneem's and read the inquests in these cases and the domestic homicide reviews. For too long, I've listened to politicians, police chiefs or whoever it is, say, 'Lessons will be learned', then nothing seems to change. 'They say lessons will be changed until the next case that we hear about. This is a direct response to what we learnt in Raneem's case, what we have to do is try and find every entry point that a victim of domestic abuse goes to and in this instance, we're talking about the criminal justice system.' Good Morning Britain continues weekdays on ITV from 6am.
