11:01 am
that's a wouldn't be worth investigating. fific that's a decision for the police and the police have carried out investigations into mirror group newspapers and this had led to a small number of convictions. interestingly, some of the journalist convicted for doing unlawful activities whilst working for these newspapers have come to this core and given evidence that the other side, for those people who are claiming against those newspapers, they have become effectively whistle—blowers. that has triggered a bit of an industry in this whole area of law, privacy cases where privacy cases are used to attack newspapers for unlawful practices in the past and then tried to seek damages from those. now, philippa, i'm going to say thank you very much forjoining us and let you get out of the cold. we will have someone else to talk to on a second. just yourfinal comment someone else to talk to on a second. just your final comment on the importance of today's ruling. i importance of today's ruling. i think what this is really important for its _ think what this is really important for its privacy, it's a line in the

11:03 am
a case against an associated newspaper, the daily mail and the mail on sunday. it was a prehearing so not expecting to be particularly newsworthy. a few reporters and photographers turned up and suddenly a black car pulls up and suddenly the duke of sussex appears completely unexpected, mayhem ensued and journalist knocked over in the rush to get their pictures. it was extremely significant because even though this was just a preliminary hearing where the court was just looking at the timetabling and housekeeping is it a future case, there was the duke of sussex in person showing his face and sitting in court on some very uncomfortable seats for a period of time, a few days, and listening in. what we suddenly realised was this was a personal mission for him where he wanted to prove that his life had been affected by the activities of newspapers and so were the lives of many other people who are claiming
11:04 am
alongside him. and then he turned up in court to give evidence. he has a three pronged attack, he is taking action here gets mirror group newspapers, he is also taking action against the publisher of the sun and previously the news of the world which closed down in the early 20105 as a result of the phone hacking. he a5 a result of the phone hacking. he is also taking an action against associated newspapers, the mail publisher. he is told that he stands a some of that next year and that there may be a trial next year but that's still a long way off. that is what is at stake for him. this will be regarded as i think a win for his side and he will take heart from that and go on to move to continue those cases against the other newspapers in court in the next year. i would just very quickly check if we have any news from court. we are expecting a statement from the legal team for the claimants, it's quite a big legal

stories making news. specialist underwater search teams have returned to scour the river wensum in search for mother of three, gaynor lord. police, say there is a "high probability" that the 55—year—old went into the river. a friend of m5 lord's said she was "upbeat and happy" just days before she disappeared. the mother has been missing for a week. a body has been found after an explosion and fire at an industrial estate in south wales. police said one person was unaccounted for after the incident which destroyed at least one building at the site, near pontypridd. formal identification has not yet taken place. six of lionel messi's jerseys worn during last year's world cup have sold for a combined £6.1 million at at auction. messi captained argentina to victory at the tournament with his country beating france on penalties in the final. the six jerseys were from the first half of the final, semi—final, quarter—final, last—16 tie and two group games.

you can see the jerseys there on your screen. you're live with bbc news. following the developments from the royal court ofjustice. live now to tom symonds in central london. he has the results from these cases. yes, just to explain what is happening. we are outside the court, thejudge has been giving his verbal summary of thejudgment, thejudge has been giving his verbal summary of the judgment, it's a complicated judgment and there is a lot to it. we know that prince harry has won quite a victory in court today, half of the initial articles that he wanted the court to make a decision on the court has ruled in his favour. there is more to it than that. one of the key questions in all of thisjudgment is that. one of the key questions in all of this judgment is the role of piers morgan the mirror editor between 1995 and 2004, a period during which much of this unlawful activity will have taken place. what did he know? he has always strongly denied knowing about phone hacking.
11:15 am
he has given many interviews about this in the past and for example, he told the bbc not long ago in an interview, i never hacked the phone, i wouldn't know how and i never told anyone to hack the phone but he had accepted that there might have been stories published in the newspapers that were the result of phone hacking but he wouldn't have known about it. thejudge, this is early stuff but thejudge about it. thejudge, this is early stuff but the judge as saying that his ruling is that piers morgan did know about phone hacking and that obviously will lead to some questions to be answered by piers morgan. i am sure that we will have a statement from him. he has always denied knowing how phones were hacked and he said that he never hacked and he said that he never hacked and he said that he never hacked a phone himself. we will get more detailfrom the hacked a phone himself. we will get more detail from the judgment but i promise you that a number of my colleagues are now pouring through it. matt, good to get your view on it. matt, good to get your view on it. it's quite a thing, isn't it? this is a hugejudgment in terms of

11:22 am
cover—up and he said that people high up in the company clearly knew about the activities ofjournalist. my about the activities ofjournalist. my colleagues who are reading the judgment tell me that the judges said that the only directors of trinity mirror who knew or suspected that this was going on or should have suspected word to executives paul beckers and the ceo who is ceo during part of this. the judgment, paul beckers and the ceo who is ceo during part of this. thejudgment, i understand said that the chair of the company in 2012 didn't know and the company in 2012 didn't know and the finance director didn't know. there's also an this adjustment i think that a later legal director didn't know what was going on. we are still digesting this and this isn't simple stuff so bear with us but there are strong suggestions that that prince harry is right in saying that certainly some of the senior people at trinity mirror knew what was going on. he also said that patience is a virtue in the face of what he has described as vendetta

journalism. he said that during this process there were consistent attempts to claim that his claim was fantastical, he said this was nonsense. he said that he wants regulators and the police to do their duty and he was saying that that he wants financial regulators to look again at this and the police potentially to reopen previous investigation into alleged criminality at trinity mirror. something that did result in a small number of convictions. finally, prince harry closed with this, some people say that if we slay dragons you will get burnt but he said that he felt that it had been worth it and he said that his mission continues. remember he has got two other cases, two other big battles in the courts against other newspaper groups that he can now turn to with this victory in his pocket. if you didn't hear all of that, i apologise, pocket. if you didn't hear all of that, iapologise, difficult pocket. if you didn't hear all of that, i apologise, difficult to hear from over there.— that, i apologise, difficult to hear from over there. what did you make of that? strong _ from over there. what did you make of that? strong statement _ from over there. what did you make of that? strong statement but - from over there. what did you make of that? strong statement but an i of that? strong statement but an overwhelmingly positive for harry.

11:25 am
admitted in the past following a finding in 2015 that phones were hacked and that they were doing this in search of stories. the company has apologised at times during this process. it apologise to prince harry for one particular incident, the former executive of trinity mirror said that she deeply regretted what had happened. the company apologised in 2015 or around that time to its readers on its own newspaper pages for what had gone on. i think what's happened here and what is different here is that prince harry has proved its case and that there are allegations that some of those directors knew what had been going on. and finally, what the mgn is saying, where historical wrongdoing has taken place, we have made admissions and took full responsibility and we apologised unreservedly. the company says, we will vigorously defend against allegations of wrongdoing where our journalists acted unlawfully. we are

going through the judgment as we speak, it's very complicated and long. there is a lot to it. but certainly the general headline here is that prince harry has the victory. hello there. it's looking pretty dry for many of us over the next couple of days but we will see quite heavy rain moving its way into the north and western scotland. i will bring you more details on that injust a moment. will bring you more details on that injusta moment. for will bring you more details on that injust a moment. for the will bring you more details on that in just a moment. for the weekend, it's going to turn milder for many of us, south—westerly winds. pretty cloudy, as i mention rain particularly in the far north—west. the reason why for most of us it will be dry is this big area of high pressure is building in from the south. today we havejust pressure is building in from the south. today we have just got this weather front affecting the far north—west of scotland, that is bringing outbreaks of rain. that rain could be quite heavy for a time across the north into the northern isles. one or two spots of rain and drizzle this afternoon around western coast of england and wales but really for most of it is dry and there will be a few bright sunny spells. when is relatively light
11:27 am
across the south and quite breezy across the south and quite breezy across the south and quite breezy across the final. those winds will continue to strengthen as we go through this evening. temperature wise, higher temperatures to be found in the west, 11 or celsius, eight or nine further east. entered the there will still some patches of rain moving into scotland and a strengthening when to buy into saturday morning, it will be a mild start. a frost free start to the weekend, temperatures generally down to about four celsius. warmer figures to the north and the west, we can see from the temperature chart where those warm winds are coming in from the south—west so it's going to stay like that at the weekend. so during saturday, still some outbreaks of rain affecting the far north—west of scotland. it will be heavy and persistent head throughout the day. they could be one or two showers dotted around but really for most, a dry day on saturday. mostly cloudy, a few bright spells possible and temperatures for all of us in double figures. the rain continues into
11:28 am
sunday towards the west of scotland, is actually yellow warning to 175 millimetres. that could lead into a localised flooding and travel disruption in northern and western scotland. the most on sunday, a dry day. just a bit of rain is the far north of england but once again temperatures in double figures and about 11 to 1a celsius. into next week, it will turn cooler as we go through the week and there will be some rain at times as well. temperatures by the end of the week in single figures. goodbye.

more now and the ruling that the duke of sussex has been awarded lots of money after bringing a phone hacking claim against mirror newspapers in the high court. the judge ruled that 15 stories will be product of phone hacking or other unlawful information gathering. the mirror group lawyers at the time rejected the allegations as entirely speculative, but have issued a statement this morning saying, we welcome today because myjudgment that gives the business the necessary clarity to move forward, and where historical wrongdoing took place, we apologise unreservedly. the judge's place, we apologise unreservedly. thejudge's ruling is expected place, we apologise unreservedly. the judge's ruling is expected to extend to more than 100 detailed pages, but in a bad reaction on the court steps from the lawyer
