the government in the uk was involved in plans by the post office to sack accountants who found bugs in its it system, according to documents obtained by the bbc. and one of the world's largest wildlife surveys, the big garden birdwatch, is back for another year — with volunteers across the uk tracking their local birds. here in the uk, the attorney general is considering whetherjudges should review the sentence of a man who killed three people in nottingham last year. valdo calocane fatally stabbed grace o'malley—kumar, barnaby webber and ian coates — and tried to kill three others by running them over. he was given an indefinite hospital order after pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility — but the victims�* families felt justice was not done, as nickjohnson reports.

three families united in grief and despair. we will never come to terms with the loss of our beloved daughter grace and how she lost her life. premeditated planning, the collection of lethal weapons, hiding in the shadows and the brutality of the attacks are of an individual who knew exactly what he was doing. he knew entirely that it was wrong, but he did it anyway. valdo calocane pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility due to his paranoid schizophrenia. yesterday, thejudge sentenced him to an indefinite hospital order. but that didn't feel like justice to the devastated families. this man is a killer. murder was the only thing he cared about and he fulfilled this in horrific fashion on tuesday, the 13th ofjune last year. all we can do is hope that, in due course, some sort ofjustice will be served.

this man has made a mockery of the system and he has got away with murder. now, after receiving a referral claiming the sentence may be unduly lenient, the attorney general�*s office confirmed it will now consider whether it should be reviewed byjudges. 19—year—old students barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar were killed as they walked through nottingham city centre after a night out. moments after this footage, both had been fatally stabbed. 65—year—old ian coates, a caretaker and grandfather of eight, was then attacked while in his van on his way to work. stay where you are! an hour and a half after the first attack, valdo calocane was caught by police. passing sentence, the judge said calocane would very probably spend the rest of his life in a secure hospital. the attorney general�*s office now has 28 days to weigh up whether to refer the case to the court of appeal.

even if that happens, there's no guarantee the case will be heard or reviewed, let alone the sentence changed. but it's the first step in a process that could go some way towards giving three families the justice they feel wasn't served. nickjohnson, bbc news. consultants in england who are members of the british medical association have rejected the latest pay offer from the government — by the narrowest of margins. the bma is urging ministers to improve the deal, after 51% voted against it. ministers said they were considering their next steps. consultants in wales are still voting on an offer from the welsh government. our health editor hugh pym reports. senior doctors out on picket lines. they staged nine days of walkouts in england before pay talks got under way. and then came an offer which the doctors�* union, the british medical association, felt it could put to consultant members.

on top of the 6% pay rise already awarded, the government said it would put 4.95% extra on the table and streamline the system of pay bands. some consultants would get nothing more, but others up to 13% in total. bma members in england rejected it — 51% voting against. the union has a strike mandate for senior doctors tilljune, but, right now, it's calling for a better offer and more talks rather than industrial action. it is easy to be fixateda round numbers and money and percentages, but it is about that. it has largely been about making sure pay is fixed for the future and we can be certain we retain the brightest in the uk to provide services for patients. the health secretary, victoria atkins, said she was disappointed the union had rejected a fair and reasonable offer, and the government would consider its next steps. health leaders, meanwhile, are very concerned about the possibility of more strikes, as amanda pritchard,

head of nhs england, made clear before the result was announced. the period of industrial action where both consultants and junior doctors were involved was particularly challenging to the nhs. so we would be very concerned about prolonged industrial action of any kind. and that still leaves thejunior doctors in england. since staging six days of strike action earlier this month, there has been no sign of any talks getting going with the government. bma junior doctors will now vote on extending their strike mandate beyond the end of february. hugh pym, bbc news. thousands of people in georgia have found out that they were stolen from their parents at birth — and sold for adoption. its believed the black market in baby trafficking operated for decades from the late 1970s up to the mid—2000s. some of the victims are now taking their cases to the georgian courts, hoping to get access to their birth documents so they can

trace their biological families. fay nurse has been investigating. sobbing this is the first time twins amy and ano are meeting their birth mother. the sisters only learned of each other�*s existence two years ago, separated and illegally adopted at birth. their mother was told they had died shortly after they were born. translation: from today, my life has great meaning. | it is a great happiness that i have found my children. how the twins found each other is nothing short of miraculous. it was after amy posted a tiktok and ano saw it. translation: when | saw her, | i thought i was looking at myself. exact same person, same face, exact same voice. they are not the only example of children separated from parents in georgia.

the twins found their mum through a facebook group with more than 230,000 members, all hunting for the truth. it was set up by tamuna museridze, a georgian journalist who is also looking for her family. i am helping parents to find their children who were stolen and sold by the georgian doctors. tamuna has exposed a dark chapter in georgia's history, a black market adoption scandal, tens of thousands of babies trafficked and spanning decades. i get messages every day with new leads. they are from all over georgia, and even people based abroad. after the country slipped into economic despair following independence from the soviet union, corruption thrived. tamuna started working with human rights lawyer lia mukhashavria to try to bring justice to the families. translation: adoption was not properly regulated by the state, | so people tried to solve this issue on their own.

lia believes that a sophisticated network of criminals working, alongside corrupt doctors profited from a culture of secrecy and shame surrounding adoption. translation: one thing i can say with certainty is that this illegal i adoption was systemic and it operated and existed all over the country. and that is why this is so tragic. lia and tamuna's work means that some cases could end up in court, but tamuna still hasn't found her own family. i have reunited hundreds of families and i cannot find my biological parents. but i will. i'm sure i will. i will find them. georgia's government says it's investigating, but so far no arrests have been made.

over the past week, and he is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness. so, as you said, he's being treated for an enlarged prostate. it is benign and noncancerous, and he is undergoing some kind of corrective procedure is how the palace are describing it today. this kind of procedure will be done all over the world, millions of times, lots of men undergoing very similar procedures. it's a fairly short recovery period if there is no complication. the queen is at his side, queen camilla arrived with him. he will be working straight afterwards, essentially. there will be no constitutional issue with the king being in hospital having treatment, nobody will be standing in for him, essentially. he will be back to business fairly soon, but he probably won't be making many public appearances, many strenuous public visits while he is still recovering. we have had a statement from the palace, what more does that say? it

basically says that he was admitted into hospital this morning. they don't say which hospital it is. they say it is a london hospital. we know now that it is a london clinic. that is where the princess of wales is being treated. we saw pictures of him arriving at the hospital this morning. now, it's interesting that he has got into the hospital. we thought he might go to the king edward hospital which is nearby, where he has been treated in the past. prince philip, his father, was treated there, and his mother, queen elizabeth. the london clinic already has a significant police presence, because the princess of wales is being treated there. it may be that the palace thought it was easier to have both members of the royal family under the same roof, because the police operation was already under way in certain areas of the hospital, which you imagine would already be locked off.— already be locked off. thank you, charlotte gallagher. _ already be locked off. thank you, charlotte gallagher. just - already be locked off. thank you, charlotte gallagher. just an - already be locked off. thank you, i charlotte gallagher. just an update on the breaking news, king charles has arrived at a hospital in london for a planned treatment for an enlarged prostate. we are seeing

in a lie, it affects somebody�*s physiology and emotion. we havejust gone past christmas. most people during the month of december are eight times more likely to lie and say i love that present you got me, thank you so much. you know you are never going to wear it. in terms of tell is that people can look for, people will tend to blink, may be double or three times the rate. their lips will go quite pale. this is where there is a bit consequence to being discovered, as we have seen on this show, there is £100,000 up for grabs. so some of them have been very strong contenders. aha, for grabs. so some of them have been very strong contenders. a, lot for grabs. so some of them have been very strong contenders.— very strong contenders. a lot of money there- — very strong contenders. a lot of money there. i've _ very strong contenders. a lot of money there. i've heard - very strong contenders. a lot of money there. i've heard in - very strong contenders. a lot of money there. i've heard in the l very strong contenders. a lot of. money there. i've heard in the past that people cover their face when they tend to live, or they hide their hands or something like that. when it comes to who is better up lion, is there a certain type of person that might be better? is there a discrepancy between men and women, controversially? yes. women, controversially? yes, research _ women, controversially? yes, research shows _ women, controversially? yes, research shows that _ women, controversially? yes, research shows that men - women, controversially? yes, research shows that men are. women, controversially? 1s: research shows that men are more likely to a blue lie, and they will lie more about power, status. they

details you need. get involved, it's a great survey. brilliant, our climate editor, justin rowlatt. and he did win the most beautiful spot to report from today full stop let's get the weather now. hello there. it's been a stormy week for many, but the weekend is looking drier and less windy. there will still be gales around, as we'll see today across the north and west of scotland, particularly the highlands and the islands. but for most of us, yes, it's breezy still, but the wind is gradually easing down, as are the number of showers. and that's because the ridge of high pressure is building in from the south, and it will hang around into the weekend. the tightly packed isobars, the windier weather further north, and that's where the majority of the showers will continue on and off today. and it's colder air, it's a fresher breeze today. so that means more winteriness over the tops of the scottish mountains. and we'll see some quite lively showers here, too. but fewer for northern ireland and england and wales. and after a mild start in the south and the east with the rain this morning,

temperatures will actually fall back. so it's a fresher day, a cooler day and it's still blustery. these are the wind gusts as we go through the rest of the afternoon, you can still see 30, a0 miles an hour in the north. they will start to ease off, those wind gusts, though, further south. then, as we go through the evening and overnight, we've got further shower bands coming into the north and the west, particularly scotland, parts of northern ireland, but further south and east the lighter winds allowing temperatures to fall close to freezing. so a much colder night for the south and east. not quite as chilly, actually, further north and west. but as we go into the weekend, we're gradually going to start to pull in more of a southerly wind. so it will become milder, particularly as that weather front approaches from the atlantic, pulling in that stronger southerly wind. but for saturday, yes, an early frost, potentially patchy mist or fog in the south. our weather fronts, though, close to the north—west highlands of scotland and the islands and also brushing close by to the northwest of northern ireland will bring in more cloud now. elsewhere, temperatures will be a little bit up on those of today. in fact, the majority nines and tens because we're starting to pull in that southerly breeze,

which will probably bring a bit more cloud in for the majority on sunday. and this rain may arrive a little earlier across northwestern parts of both scotland and northern ireland. but temperatures are up again, 11 to 13 degrees celsius, as you can see. then, as we go into next week, the chances are that we could see some of these low pressures just slipping a little bit further southwards. so more uncertainty that far ahead. but staying on the mild side and still quite a good deal of dry weather in the forecast, as you can see. as ever, there's more on the website.

live from london, this is bbc news. in the uk, king charles has been admitted to hospital —— the international court of justice is to announce its decision in the next couple of hours in a case brought by south africa claiming as well as committing genocide in gaza. a convicted

murderer has been executed with nitrogen gas in alabama, the first time capital punishment has been used in the us. in the uk, king charles has been admitted to hospital for prostate surgery, according to buckingham palace. the government in the uk was involved in plans by the post office to sack accountants who found bugs in its it system, according to documents obtained by the bbc. hello, i'm frankie mccamley. welcome to the programme. could israel be forced into agreeing a gaza ceasefire in the coming hours? the un's highest court will deliver its initial ruling later on a genocide case against israel. if the judges believe there is a case to answer, they could demand that israel halts its military operations in gaza and allows in more un humanitarian aid. israel has challenged the genocide accusation at the court in the hague — but, whatever the ruling, there is no guarantee that israel would necessarily abide by its findings.
