jurgen klopp has been explaining at length, the thinking behind his decision to leave liverpool at the end of the season. the german, who has truned the club around after almost the german, who has turned the club around after almost nine years at anfield, still has another two years left on his contract but he says he just doesn't have the energy levels to be the best version of himself in the role. he says he told the club last november that he would be leaving in the summer. the important things they had to do was to tell, of course have to tell them but our supporters and the players and to play was top. and really good and i don't say things like that and walk away but i am here and i am fully here and besides that, it'sjust here and i am fully here and besides that, it's just the here and i am fully here and besides that, it'sjust the right here and i am fully here and besides that, it's just the right thing to do and i am convinced in the right

come through and i think when they do retire, working withjurgen klopp and how he made them believe that they could achieve and if you're can club tells you that you can be a champion, you better believe it because of the way he talks and outcomes across. and people say alonzo should be the replacement because the slings would liverpool and how well he is doing and taking our buyer in munich in the teams in this country as well and alonzo is probably the best choice but big shoes to fill but puritan jurgen klopp. jurgen klopp. thank you so much for s-ueakin jurgen klopp. thank you so much for speaking to us- _ here in the uk, the attorney general is considering whetherjudges should review the sentence of a man who killed three people
5:43 pm
in nottingham last year. valdo calocane fatally stabbed grace 0'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.
5:44 pm
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 0'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!
5:45 pm
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. live now tojulian hendy in leeds, the founder of hundred families charity, which supports and advocates for families bereaved as a result of mental health related homicides. thank you for being here in the programme and i know that your
5:46 pm
father was killed by someone with mental health issues 17 years ago and we have a case like that and nodding a masher in the sentencing, yes, how much do you relive everything that she went through? this is all horribly familiar and my dad was killed, it was so difficult to get any information in any support in people making decisions and that's the reason why a set of the charity to try to make sure that other families going to this process and reset some support and help and bring it all back and the problem is the happening far too often. another sampling 220 times each and every yearin sampling 220 times each and every year in the uk and urgent, lots of bereaved families in closure and will be see time and time again is that people are not learning from these lessons and it doesn't lead to
5:47 pm
meaningful change and that is what needs to happen. and we must be clear that people with serious mental health problems are nonviolent but a few, a small number undoubtedly are in need better care and treatment and i've supported around 2050 families in the uk and bereaved result of mental health in homicides the vast majority of cases where people were unable and seriously and have not able or unwilling to get assertive care effective care from services that were not assertive enough making sure they get the care and treatment they need. sure they get the care and treatment the need. ., . ~ ., ,.. they need. coming back to some thins they need. coming back to some things that _ they need. coming back to some things that need _ they need. coming back to some things that need to _ they need. coming back to some things that need to change, - they need. coming back to some things that need to change, or . they need. coming back to some l things that need to change, orjust a question of proper communication and we listen to the families, they were stunned that they found out
5:48 pm
that it was going to be a manslaughter charge so late in the legal cycle and how important is it that the authorities properly communicate with the victims families so they understand the process did not feel as these families do that some injustice is not been done? families do that some in'ustice is not been done?h families do that some in'ustice is not been done? there is a think of the victims — not been done? there is a think of the victims cold, _ not been done? there is a think of the victims cold, the _ not been done? there is a think of the victims cold, the prosecution l the victims cold, the prosecution service, the health service and the duty under the code to improve families they're not doing it and there appears to be in a sanction for people, not doing this properly in the difficult year in this case was a severe question to be had around the psychiatric evidence and he was in police custody for weeks and nobody seems to have addressed any concerns about his mental health and there seems to be and he was on seen by a psychiatrist for months
5:49 pm
after this incident and that psychiatrist was able to stay with his mental health state was and his ability years history, and he had been thrown out of his flap for smoking cannabis and there was none of this discussed in court and were just told that in none of the evidence was produced in court and the families that have not been seeing that and this was not a big and i agree that the scene seems to have been trialed by doctors in the service did not interrogate or investigate robustly other avenues of how this could have been disposed. of how this could have been disposed-— of how this could have been disosed. .. ., ,, �*, . disposed. your groups it's about mental health _ disposed. your groups it's about mental health professionals - disposed. your groups it's about. mental health professionals working better with others and backed up
5:50 pm
with your case 17 years ago and further because there were other cases around that period as well, you could probably make the same list and so, why are these things still happening in such a familiar way in the short time later. industries don't talk to each other and they seem to think it's a way of his problem. there was a mass stepping in birmingham a man had been released and seriously unwell and went on a stabbing spree in birmingham and killed a young student very similar situation it would seem to think of somebody else's problem and theyjoined up services and people do not like to talk about violence and serious mental illness, it's a small amount of people who do not engage properly and more robust care is needed and often we see people saying that
5:51 pm
someone else's problem in what happened will be all right and that is something that should not happen. you end up with devastating consequences. thank you for taking the time to speak with us on bbc news. bbc news has obtained documents showing the government was complicit in a decision by the post office to sack the forensic accountants who had found bugs in its it system. a sub—committee of the post office board took the decision in april 2014. yet the post office kept the governments involvement in it secret ? and continued to claim the accountants had vindicated its horizon computer system. andy verity has this exclusive report. the post office hired independent forensic accountants second sight to investigate complaints that its horizon computer system generated false evidence of cash shortfalls used to prosecute subpostmasters. oh, my god. it...it�*s just doubled right in front of my eyes. they found evidence of computer bugs doing just that in 76 branches and told the post office
5:52 pm
in july 2013. but instead of coming clean, the post office kept insisting in public their system was robust, while in private, it agreed a plan to take second sight off the case. this envelope contains documents that post office bosses didn't want you, the public, to see — minutes of a subcommittee of a post office board that were kept from subpostmasters as they fought their way through the courts. they were eventually released a few years later with heavy redactions. look at those blacked—out passages. i've got hold of the unredacted version and they show exactly what was going on and who knew about it. spoiler alert — the government knew all about it. the minutes show post office chair alice perkins, chief executive paula vennells and a government representative, richard callard, discuss second sight�*s independent role investigating subpostmasters' complaints for a mediation scheme. behind the redactions, it shows that in april 2014,
5:53 pm
they agreed a plan to continue to investigate cases but to bring it within the control of the post office, cutting out second sight�*s independent role. and they reveal that post office bosses didn't plan to pay anything like the compensation subpostmasters were claiming — in fact, only around £1 million for all cases. yet in public, the post office continued to claim second sight�*s review as vindication, saying it found no systemic issues with horizon. in the meantime, you'll need to make good the loss. i haven't got that money! when in fact, as told in a tv drama this month, false evidence had been used to prosecute people like jo hamilton. i mean, what's it all about? do we live in a democracy or don't we? you know, and they've done some terrible things to people. why they didn't just tell the truth and sort it out then, i do not know. to mp5 who've campaigned for subpostmasters it again proves what they've long suspected. this was a government organisation being overseen by government representatives, and it's
5:54 pm
the government that has to take responsibility for everything that went wrong. it's a distinctly corrupt, murky story that goes right the way into government and it's deeply worrying. we contacted alice perkins and paula vennells, but didn't receive a response. richard callard and the government declined to comment while the inquiry was ongoing. the post office also declined to comment. andy verity, bbc news. why make a fresh inquiry into the uae back to bed for the telegraph and redbird said the structure of their bid seeing the ownership of
