the killings, he'd previously been in hospital and four times for a warrant for his arrest had been issued months before his deadly rampage. the family say it that justice has not been served on the local police force has blood on its hands. we will have more reaction in a moment, but let's listen for the next few moments to the judge, mr justice turner, who told the accused he would be detained in a high—security hospital for the rest of his life. i am satisfied that you are suffering — his life. i am satisfied that you are suffering from _ his life. i am satisfied that you are suffering from a _ his life. i am satisfied that you are suffering from a mental. are suffering from a mental disorder, mainly paranoid schizophrenia. this disorder is of a nature which makes it appropriate for you to be detained in a hospital for you to be detained in a hospital for medical treatment. in the medical treatment is available for you at ashworth secure hospital. i'm of the opinion that of all the circumstances in your case, and the history of mental illness and having considered all the other available ways in which i might deal with you, the most suitable method of dealing

weapon that has increasingly been linked to gang crime and violence in the uk. the blade will typically will have a serrated edge on one side and a smooth, sharp edge on the other. they are inspired by the kind of weapon used in zombie movies. edris alba has been speaking to the bbc and praised the move by governments and warned that it may not go far enough. this is symbolically — may not go far enough. this is symbolically a _ may not go far enough. this is symbolically a step _ may not go far enough. this is symbolically a step in - may not go far enough. this is symbolically a step in the - may not go far enough. this is | symbolically a step in the right direction. it is only a step in the right direction because it's such a long road to go. there are so many facets of this issue that need to be addressed, but banning then outright, the sale and manufacturing have been in our country is a step in the right direction. and ifeel that that is a good step. etiquette is definitely at least a small window for the families, the victims that are sitting there wondering why our government hasn't done something like this earlier, even though they have done it before, they like so many loopholes that allow the sales to continue, so this feels a lot more robust, put a lot of thinking into the banning of it. hopefully there aren't any loopholes. 0f

there aren't any loopholes. of course, you know, swords in this banner not covered here and that is a big issue, and i think that is a loophole. there are a few reasons why swords have not been included, because some swords are considered collectors items. some swords have historical value. collectors items. some swords have historicalvalue. but collectors items. some swords have historical value. but overall, we believe that if you have a sword, it's a family heirloom or a historical value to you. have a licence for it. furthermore, i think any swords in our country are not needed on the streets. i needed on the streets. i mentioned the prime minister _ needed on the streets. i mentioned the prime minister or— needed on the streets. i mentioned the prime minister or a _ needed on the streets. i mentioned the prime minister or a short - needed on the streets. i mentioned the prime minister or a short while | the prime minister or a short while ago, he has been talking to the media in the last hour and talking about both the nottingham sentencing we had today and also knife crying and that new initiative from government. have a listen. first of all my thoughts — government. have a listen. first of all my thoughts are _ government. have a listen. first of all my thoughts are with _ government. have a listen. first of all my thoughts are with all- government. have a listen. first of all my thoughts are with all the - all my thoughts are with all the families— all my thoughts are with all the families affected by what happened. it is absolutely an awful case, and as a parent — it is absolutely an awful case, and as a parent you think when you send your kids _ as a parent you think when you send your kids out — as a parent you think when you send your kids out into the world are to university— your kids out into the world are to university that they will be safe, and i_ university that they will be safe, and i can't — university that they will be safe, and i can't imagine the pain that they— and i can't imagine the pain that they are — and i can't imagine the pain that

that stop and search, the ability to see his knives when they see them so that they can take them out of dangerous people's hands. those are plans that will make a difference as well as investing in youth services, making sure that young people have opportunities to spend time in safe environments. the plan is working to make me stick with it, we can make sure everyone grows up in a place thatis sure everyone grows up in a place that is safe. sure everyone grows up in a place that is safe-— sure everyone grows up in a place that is safe. we've actually passed laws to ensure _ that is safe. we've actually passed laws to ensure that _ that is safe. we've actually passed laws to ensure that those - that is safe. we've actually passed laws to ensure that those carrying | laws to ensure that those carrying knives _ laws to ensure that those carrying knives face — laws to ensure that those carrying knives face tough sentences and you have seen _ knives face tough sentences and you have seen the penalties and sentences for people carrying knives have gone _ sentences for people carrying knives have gone up over time and to the conservatives. this is a serious crime — conservatives. this is a serious crime that _ conservatives. this is a serious crime. that is what we have put in place _ crime. that is what we have put in lace. crime. that is what we have put in lace, , ., , crime. that is what we have put in lace. , . , . ., ~ crime. that is what we have put in lace. , . , . . ~ . place. the planets are talking about knife crime and _ place. the planets are talking about knife crime and also _ place. the planets are talking about knife crime and also talking - place. the planets are talking about knife crime and also talking about i knife crime and also talking about sentencing in that nottingham case. that, the latest. let's turn to another important strike, because the trial of an aristocrat and her partner accused of manslaughter of the death of their baby daughter started this morning. 36—year—old constance marten and mark gordon who's 49, were charged after baby victoria was found dead on an allotment in brighton last march.

the defendants deny the charges against them. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, is at the old bailey. last march a weeks—old baby was found dead in a disused shed in brighton. the baby was in a shopping bag covered in rubbish. it was, the prosecution say, an entirely avoidable death. the baby's parents were mark gordon and constance marten, and the prosecution said the baby would be alive had it not been for their reckless, utterly selfish, callous, cruel, arrogant and ultimately grossly negligent conduct. constance marten's mother virginie de selliers and brother tobias marten came to court this morning to watch the case start, but constance marten herself was not at court. her partner, mark gordon, was in the dock to hear the prosecution say that the couple had put their relationship and their view of life before the life of a little baby girl. soon after the birth of the baby,

the couple had been camping in freezing and what the prosecution said were obviously dangerous conditions on the south downs near brighton. they were living off—grid with hardly any clothes and insufficient food and equipment in the middle of a cold winter. the precise date of the birth of the baby girl is unknown. the jury heard that the dead baby was the couple's fifth child. their previous four children had all been taken into care after extensive social services interaction and the prosecution say they concealed the birth of the fifth child because they knew she would be taken into care too. but then their suzuki car caught fire on the m61 near manchester in january last year. police found a placenta in the car wrapped in a towel. it triggered a nationwide missing people's inquiry that ultimately led to the baby being found in the disused shed almost two months later.

0ur correspondent at the old bailey. correspondence in england have voted to reject a pay rise, that is just coming into is raising the possibility of new strikes. the british medical association says 51% of its members voted against the offer consultants walked out four times last year including a joint walk out withjunior times last year including a joint walk out with junior doctors. they say the pay offer does not go far enough. so let's go straight to the newsroom and straight to our health editor. this is a pretty major setback for the government because it was hoped that this part of the various health disputes had been resolved. . �* , resolved. that's right. the government _ resolved. that's right. the government have - resolved. that's right. the government have given . resolved. that's right. the government have given a i resolved. that's right. the - government have given a strong message that they thought this was a very fair deal. as well as the money on the table, there were reforms of the whole pay band system to make it easier for consultants to move up the system and if they had to take

time out of the workforce, particularly women leaving the workforce and coming back in, they weren't penalised, so it was sold as a very, very good package and there has been a lot of debate about it amongst consultants, but by this very narrow margin, it has been rejected by consultants members of the british medical association from a 51% against. now, the consultants to have a mandate for further strike action untiljune, but they've chosen not to announce anything along those lines at this stage. they said they want talks of the government to see if the offer can be improved will stop the reaction from the government so far has been disappointment that they thought it was a fair offer but they are not ruling out further talks. all of this still leaves the junior doctors in england. there will be no talks between them and the government since the end of their six—day strike earlier this month. so there is a possibility they will stage further action. 50 is a possibility they will stage further action.— further action. so there is a possibility _ further action. so there is a possibility of _ further action. so there is a possibility of dual _ further action. so there is a possibility of dual further i further action. so there is a - possibility of dual further action but we don't have any further dates as we are talking now. i think it's

best to say there's a possibility and i think that will be a matter of extreme concern for nhs leaders. this is hanging over them again afterjoint strike this is hanging over them again after joint strike action this is hanging over them again afterjoint strike action in the autumn, in the six—day strike by junior doctors, the longest ever in early january. junior doctors, the longest ever in earlyjanuary. but we junior doctors, the longest ever in early january. but we shouldn't assume that there will be further strike action because there may be talks between the bna and the government for the consultants. i think the concern of the nhs is more about thejunior doctors think the concern of the nhs is more about the junior doctors because all of this at the end of that previous strike they would get back into talks of the government, but neither side seems inclined to push for talks. so i think that is the area that will wary people in the nhs knowledgeable of what impact it had on atients, knowledgeable of what impact it had on patients. 1-3 _ knowledgeable of what impact it had on patients, 1.3 million _ on patients, 1.3 million appointments and operations cancelled overall because of strike action. as for the consultants, we willjust have to wait and see whether they do get back around the

particularly of an emergency such as a pandemic or anything that is analogous to that? live now to our scotland correspondent, we were hearing that clip but tell us a little more about what the current first minister also told the inquiry. what the current first minister also told the inquiry-— told the inquiry. well, he made comments _ told the inquiry. well, he made comments about _ told the inquiry. well, he made comments about the _ told the inquiry. well, he made comments about the whatsappj told the inquiry. well, he made _ comments about the whatsapp messages that have been the source of so much controversy during these hearings. right at the beginning of his evidence this afternoon, he apologised both to the inquiry and to those who had lost loved ones during the pandemic about the way that this issue, but the way the handing over of whatsapp meshes have been handled. the first minister said there was no excuse and that the government should be doing better. humza yousaf also said that at times he had attended what became known colloquially as gold, and meetings. they were held by his

predecessor and a changing table of politicians. there were no minutes capped of those meetings. humza yousaf said that on occasion and they took decisions that were not always cascaded down to do scottish government because they were making decisions in the past that neck fast paced environment. he said this was a rare occurrence, but it does give you some insights into perhaps what the process by which decisions were made here by the scottish government during those three waves of coal that here in scotland. i during those three waves of coal that here in scotland. i mentioned in the introduction _ that here in scotland. i mentioned in the introduction some _ that here in scotland. i mentioned j in the introduction some explosive testimony from the former first minister, nicola sturgeon's former chief of staff. minister, nicola sturgeon's former chief of staff-— chief of staff. yes, liz was the former chief _ chief of staff. yes, liz was the former chief of _ chief of staff. yes, liz was the former chief of staff, - chief of staff. yes, liz was the former chief of staff, nicola . former chief of staff, nicola sturgeon's right—hand woman. very close to a sounding board during the pandemic, one of her closest advisers, we sought text messages that were exchanged between the two in which nicola sturgeon called

borisjohnson a clown. those messages contained expletives. in her exchanges to the layer, questioning her, liz lloyd denied that she said this was driven by a sense of frustration and with an announcement made by that then prime minister, borisjohnson, when he announced a second locked down, because, of course, this was done on national television, but it didn't apply to scotland. it applied to just england. she said there was a frustration with the way that these messages were being pushed out. she also denied any politicising of the pandemic, trying to advance the cause of independence. she said in relation to one set of messages that this was about wanting to provoke action by westminster on policy, but it was pretty explosive testimony, very colourful language being used by nicola sturgeon behind the scenes

by nicola sturgeon behind the scenes by a first minister who is widely regarded as an expert communicator, a very able communicator to the public, but perhaps getting an insight into her thought process along the way about what was going on between both governments, the government at westminster on the government at westminster on the government here in scotland at the time. . ~' ,. government here in scotland at the time. . ,, i. .. government here in scotland at the time. . ,, ., . ,, , time. thank you for taking us throu~h time. thank you for taking us through all— time. thank you for taking us through all of— time. thank you for taking us through all of that. _ time. thank you for taking us through all of that. turning i time. thank you for taking us | through all of that. turning to time. thank you for taking us - through all of that. turning to one more fascinating story because it's been more than a century since treasurers were looted by british soldiers in ghana, many of them at huge cultural and spiritual significance. now in a landmark agreement, the train alberts and the british museums in london are returning them on loan. 0ur correspondent has sent the latest on this story. that temporary return of the gold artefact is as controversial as it is significant. many here believe that those items be permanently restored at the palace behind me. but also unlikely

to happen because of uk legal restrictions. they think it is an important step towards getting those artefacts back. they were looted during what was known as the war of 1874. the british launched an attack on the kingdom at this very same palace and went away with the artefacts. discussions to bring them back dragged on for several decades. the gold artefacts where a vessel of his royal majesty, the king of the shanties, and the 150th anniversary of the wars of 1873 and 1874. the items are a symbol of traditional authority. they are also an embodiment of the spirit of former kings. this new arrangement is a way

to navigate around the complexities of uk legal restrictions and a diplomatic effort to heal wounds from the past. that's near the end for me. repeating the news from our partners in the us, cbs confirming that president biden is to deploy the cia director as source familiar with the meeting saying the cia director and the qatari prime minister planning to actually have a meeting which apparently will be in france. more on that here on bbc news in the next little while. thanks for watching today. i hope to see you at the same time tomorrow. goodbye. hello there. recent winter storms have now been replaced by some unseasonable winter warmth, and notjust in the uk. take a look at what's been happening across iberia. temperatures way above average. in fact in valencia, 28 degrees was recorded

on wednesday afternoon. their average is around 16 or 17 at this time of year. this afternoon we could see temperatures peaking at 13 celsius. in the london area, we should be seeing 7 degrees at this stage injanuary. it's a mild story but unfortunately it's a rather grey and drab one as well, quite widely across the country. yes, this was wales, and there is some rain pushing into wales as we speak. that's going to be moving its way into northern england, gradually drifting its way eastwards. we keep the cloud through the day today and with that south—westerly flow some poor visibility on exposed coasts as well. and a mild afternoon, temperatures widely into double figures at 10—13, the high. through the evening and overnight, that front will slowly meander its way eastwards and then it will be kicked out of the way almost by this cold front. this is going to bring more heavy, persistent rain overnight and some strengthening winds. a spell of wet weather for all of us

at some point through the night but once it clears through, because it's a cold front, it's introducing some cooler air so some of the showers in scotland may turn wintry to higher ground again as we could see temperatures into low single figures to start off on friday. a mild start down to the south—east, double digits here as that frontal system eases away. a little ridge of high pressure will build in and quieten things down for friday so expect more sunshine for most of us. plenty of isobars further north and west. gale force gusts of winds will drive in a rash of showers into northern ireland and north—west scotland. again with elevation some of those will be wintry. but it's a sunny afternoon for most of us, not quite as warm but hopefully the sunshine will compensate. 7—9 the high. high pressure across europe will dominate the story into the weekend. and across england and wales that means a quieter theme of weather but across the top of that high, always the risk of some weather fronts. into the weekend, the further north and west you are there is still a risk of showers or longer spells of rain. dry, sunny and milderfurther south. take care.

today at six: the three people killed in a frenzied attack in nottingham — a man is sentenced to indefinite detention in a high security hospital. the families of barnaby webber, grace 0'malley—kumar and ian coates say there are questions for mental health services,

the cps and the police: you have blood on your hands. if you had just done yourjob properly, there's a very good chance my beautiful boy would be alive today. this man has made a mockery of the system, and he has got away with murder. we'll be asking what should have been done to stop valdo calocane, who was well known to authorities. also tonight: the covid inquiry hears about nicola sturgeon's expletive—laden messages criticising the then prime minister boris johnson. in the last hour, hospital consultants in england have rejected the latest government pay offer — they must now decide whether to stage more strikes. what lies beneath? the ancient human remains in an irish peat bog. you weren't brought up to be sneaky. yeah, i'm sneaky. and turrets, treachery and a taste for deception — the latest primetime ratings winner.
